The Week That Was

boyz II men
my favourite group came over to do a concert last weekend. i didnt get to see them during the forces of nature concert and didnt think i was going for this one as its held in genting. but hearing my sisters got free tickets and were spending the night there, i thought...aaaa tak fair!! luckily there were still seats available when i went to the ticketing counter the morning of the concert. we drove to genting after lunch.

i was not disappointed. they were great, i had great seats and got a great view. there was no babysitting facility at the hotel so hubby sacrificed his ticket to take care of the boys and i went with my sisters. after a couple of songs i got bored and asked hubby to send amir to me. so my 2 year old got to see his mummy's favourite group singing some of the best songs ever written and saw his mummy scream her head off.














we took the boys to the indoor theme park on sunday. amir enjoyed the ferris wheel, rio float and the gondola. asyraf slept the whole time.




































work
after 2 months and 1 week, its finally time to face the lrt crowd, the klcc crowd and the general working crowd again. i was so depressed to leave the boys. surprisingky the first few days at work wasnt that bad. maybe since we've launched all the initiatives and now its follow up time. now that i'm back at work, the boys have to be sent to daycare. speaking of which...

daycare
for the past few weeks, amir has been very difficult when its time to go to school. the first week, he was ok. but after that, he didnt seem to like it there. we checked him to get some insight as to why he hates it there, but there's no visible signs. we concluded that he's being abandoned. not by us (he's been left with other people before) but more of by "a carer". the daycare cant seem to cope with the large number of children, and lack good carers. but we still held on. there's not many places around the area which would take a 2-month-old, so we felt this was the best place under that circumstance.

boy...were we wrong!! after his first day, asyraf came home sleepy. he slept from 9pm to 7am that night, not waking up once! hubby and i immediately thought of the worst. was he up all day crying, was he ignored? his 2nd day there confirmed our suspicions, asyraf's voice was hoarse...i mean cracking! my heart breaks thinking of him crying and no one caring for him. i wanted to confront the carers but thought of the consequences if i did. would they take it out on my boys? when we picked the boys up the third day, one of the carers let it slip...he cried a lot yesterday, she said. well, a lot must be a whole darn lot to make his voice crack like that. he cried buckets when he's with me the past 2 months, but his voice wasnt affected. and...in the space of 2 days, he sounded horrible.

our minds were made up. we went for a drive to look for another daycare. we went further than our area. we decided to open our scope more and looked around hubby's office area. hubby will be starting his new job tomorrow and if we can find a better daycare, then we can take the boys out pronto. after driving for an hour, we found a daycare that would take a 2-month-old baby at the most suitable place - inside hubby's new office building! alhamdulillah...now i hope their services would be as good as their location.
