Free Nursery

Susu time!

Iris managed the free nursery on Bapak's birthday.

Bapak, are you proud of me?

Free tuition everyone? Hi, I'm Cikgu Iris.

Eh, sedap-lah mee Mama Kakak Adrianna masak. Mummy I pandai masak bubur je. I dah boring actually makan bubur, dah 5 bulan asyik makan bubur je.

Lunch hour! Thanks Anyon for helping me out.

These are some of the photos I managed to snap on that free nursery day, ironically on my Firdausku Sorang's 28th birthday. I had a thought on the previous night to text Bapak 28 birthday wishes, but it turned out I can only texted him once! I am a good sitter, Iris is the best!

Selamat Hari Lahir, Bapak!

It is August 12th! Bapak, happy 28th birthday! We share the same birthday month. I wish you the happiest birthday! I'm sorry I cannot write much, because I am acting nursery manager today. I am helping Mummy with another two babies. Our babysitter takes a week leave. She's in Sarawak now. I'll ask Mummy to upload our activities' photos tomorrow!

Happy Birthday, Bapak! I love you berry berry much! Muach! I can make muach sound now. I'll show you in the next two weeks okay Bapak! Muach.

Bapak, Mummy said this "Abang, I miss the teamwork". What teamwork, Bapak?

I miss you already.

My aunt had a plan. I had a conversation with her. This is the translated version.

Sue: Kakak, apa kata Sue jaga Iris malam ni?

Me: Oh cuba-lah! Tapi Kakak rasa Sue tak akan berjaya. (Har-har, awal-awal sudah rasa reluctant!)

S: Tak apa, kita cuba dulu.

M: Tapi sure Iris nangis. Malam nak tidur Iris mesti kena minum susu Kakak. Dia tak minum susu lain.

S: Tak apa. Sue try Ribena. Kalau tak boleh, Sue try Oat.

M: Tapi Kakak tak pernah tidur tanpa Iris.

S: Sebenarnya siapa yang tak boleh tidur ni?

M: Okay, tapi kalau Sue rasa tak boleh jaga Iris, call Kakak. Nanti Kakak ambil.

S: Okay beres.

M: Okay, (tak) beres.

My aunt took her 10 minutes ago; it was 6:00PM, August 4th, 2009. I bet Sue will call me at 9:00PM, same day, same year. I'm waiting.

I'm hurt, Mummy.

Yesterday Anya and I went to pasar malam. And to our surprise, we saw this Chinese uncle sell lovely colorful Luna fish. But there were more than 36 Luna colors. And guess what, we chose Electric Blue for you! Yay! And double yay when it cost us just RM3! Let the pictures do the talking.

I'm a celebrity! Get me out of here!

Iris, Mummy bought you a fish. Now go play with him.

Mummy, can I call him Blooey?

Omigosh! I forgot, it's my dinner time!

Mummy, I want to eat Blooey. I'm hungry.

Mummy please. Open this bekas cendol for me.

This is art! I should put it in flickr.com!

Okay Mummy, I behave. I will not eat this Blooey.

Good girl, if you behave, Mummy'll buy you Funky Fuschia fish next week.

Mummy, your problem is not my problem. You sick missing Bapak, but don't take this Blooey from me!

Mummy, you sick!

I'll get you, Blooey. Don't worry.

You cut me bleeding, Mummy.

Guilt leads to good.

Mummy, I feel bad after what we did to Bapak. See I'm crying, but I won't let people see my tears..

Iris, Mummy feel bad.

Why Mummy?

I just called Nek Ma and she said Bapak is sick. He slept all day long and did not eat well. He got running nose.

Like you Mummy?

Yes.

Great lovers do get sick at the same time, eh Mummy?

Ye, sayang.

So the black attendant man at the pump station is your lover, Mummy?

Er, no Ris.

Have you called Bapak, Mummy? Poor him, we have been so rude to Bapak lately.

I think so, Ris. Mungkin aku pernah merasakan rindu...

Yes Mummy, tapi tak pernah sedalam ini. Right Mummy?

Ye, sayang. Let's call Bapak and say how much we miss him.

Bapak, we miss you and get well soon!

Mummy, let us hurt Bapak!

Mummy, don't be sad. I heard you sang In My Place by Coldplay over and over again today. I heard it yesterday too, and the day before yesterday. You sang your heart out when it comes to this line 'Come back and hug me'. Mummy, let me hug you! I know you are very very sad because you miss Bapak a lot. Let us sing together, as for now I can remember every line of that sad clinical depressed lyrics.

Singing, ooh, ohh,

Please, please, please,
Come back and sing to me, me, me,
Come on and sing it out now, now,
Come and sing it out to me, yeah
In my place, in my place,
Were lines that I couldn’t change?
I was lost oh yeah,
Oh yeah!

You know that your sweet darling will not be In Your or My Place anywhere soon. Just admit it Mummy, you already made a pact with Bapak over 5 storey’s bungalow in the next 10 years, so be patient my dear Mummy. Now let us eat out, I don’t feel like eating alphabet pasta and rice porridge tonight, I feel like hanging out and drink strawberry milk shake! Let us paint Kuantan town red Mummy yeah! Let us pray that Bapak will have time to visit Mummy's blog and I'm definitely sure he will be very jealous seeing our happy moments together. Let forget Bapak and let our new hair down!

Mummy, don't snap when I am not smiling, remember, our mission is to get Bapak get really hurts!

Bapak, Mummy wish you were a painter and forget that 5 storey's bungalow.

It's yummy I swear!

Mummy, forget the mission, give me that shake!

Bapak, did you hurt?

Mummy brought me to the bookstore.

Mummy, I'm sure Bapak will sing In My Place too.

Bapak, I'm sorry to be rude to you. But Mummy said it is okay to hurt people we love. Did you hurt Bapak? If yes, please call Mummy. If no, please call Mummy.

For you are my Iris.

You are my painting.

You are my sweetheart.

You are my darling.

You are my strength.

You are my half.

You are my sun, my star.

You are my world.

You are my book.

You are my everything. Everything.

(Thank you Flickr.com. When Mummy sad and miss Bapak a lot, Mummy will do only two things, browsing through Flickr.com and shop for stationeries. Mummy just fancied my eyes of Iris flowers in Flickr.com)
