Names & Plans

plans
i think no one at my age makes new year resolutions anymore. when i was younger, my resolution was always to "not miss prayers". once i achieved that, there was nothing else to list down. "save more, spend less?" that's the last thing a mummy of 3 can do. so this year, i thought i'd look ahead and plan my year. if only i can do the same for work but its just not interesting.

jan - amir turns 3 on 8 jan. take leave on 11 jan. have amir's party at school;

feb - i think my appraisal is due in feb;

march - family retreat is in march (correct tak, being normal?). hubby's due for confirmation;

may - taking leave on 2 may. hopefully the ker-chings will be debited in may. planning to buy water heater and air-cond for the boys' room and settle my credit card bills. ikhwan hasri turns 1. his mummy wants some ideas for his party;

sept - more ker-ching comes in from work and from tssc (insyaallah);

oct - taking leave on 3 oct. little ariff turns 1 on 8 oct. planning his party on either the 18th or 25th. my birthday & hubby's will not be during ramadhan (like the past 2 years) so maybe we'll go out to celebrate with the boys;

nov - asyraf turns 2 on 20 nov. no party this year for him, just a small family occasion;

dec - our big holiday plan. we plan to go off to the UK for 2 weeks. if that plan doesnt materialise, i want to bring the children to disneyland (hong kong being the closest) and take them over to singapore to experience christmas there. all our ker-chings during the year will be saved for this.

nicknames
amir
hubby & i call amir "pot". i dont know how that name came about. it just suits him because he talks a lot and is so cheeky and loves to laugh. the year i had with him was fantastic because he made me laugh with his antics and we were the best of friends...

















asyraf
asyraf is our "bum bum". i call him bum bum because he's got the cutest behind, with that 1 blue dot. he loves to walk around in his diapers which makes him bum bum look even cuter...
















ariff
although ariff looks like amir, he inherited asyraf's size. he's so big and round that we call him "mok mok". out of the three, he was the smallest at birth but he's the biggest at two months. he loves to pull his face back, emphasising his double chin...
