2nd February Beautiful Saturday afternoon, sunny and dreamy...we went back home to Melaka to see baby Aliya Hanissa who was born on Friday, 25th January 2008. Heard that she's a very friendly and understanding baby. Imagine this -Achik managed to complete all her tasks at school, including meetings and preparation for her website competition, and she visited the hospital at the right time - just to see Aliya delivered safe and sound into this world.
Aliya is Achik's fourth princess, 7th cousin sister to my children, and most importantly, the family's 7th dancing princess....hmmmm...Her birthday marks another memorable event in our family calendar, and suddenly, the boys now become 'abang'...he..he..abang Emir (very proud of it) and abang Shami...Emir posed with baby Aliya so many times, and he's so happy about it.
Nadia and Farah played with their cousins, Ain, Mimin and Nurin, and formed a Secret Five...actually, they're into Barbie dolls and girls' stuff-cosmetic jewelries (made in China), makeup, stickers, etc. Achik was already healthy, after 7 days in confinement, and we're all so happy for her. The firls had their long awaited sleepover at Achik's house that night.Visited Along and slept over. Didn't get the chance to meet Yoyo and Ijai...they're at the hostel. Perhaps, if Yoyo studies hard and get excellent results, and that there's no double-standard entry processing, may be she can study in any nearby residential schools...then we can all visit her more often.
Visited Busu Din..can't believe that his garage costs 20K..very nice one though. We particularly like the pebbles...Nowadays, everything is just so exhorbitant, even a decent meal can cost RM 10.00. So, let's start preparing home-cooked meals yeah...Abah's house still looks sturdy. Now, when I transfer to my new house, I shall take his limau purut and curry plant. Good memories to cherish, together with delicious recipes...of course.
So, that's the trip we've all been waiting for all this while. Glad to spend such lovely weekend back home, where life is always a rejuvenating experience. Welcome to the big, happy family, baby Aliya...
p.s. I had thought of the name baby Nur Alia Anissa at home - the children liked it so. When we told Achik of the coincidence, she found it miraculous...well...see the leg laaa..he.he.
