4- Why do the Kids Address Me Differently

 .

.

.

The story starts with my kids calling me with different names.

Not because they have different appa, they just feel like it. Cit.

Also, my fault. I told them to do so. Ahah.


The eldest daughter (Along)- calls me - Mama /Mader

The second son (Aiman)- calls me - Mama

The third daughter (Maisa) - calls me - Mama

The fourth son (Muhammad) - calls me - Ibu / Mummy

The fifth daughter (Widad)- calls me - Ibu / Mum

The sixth son (Alim)- calls me - Mummy / Mum


It is complicated at times. But amazingly, when I talk to one of them, I automatically change my name. 

Even the kids too.
Example when Along (the eldest) talks to the youngest, she automatically says "Call mummy now". She will not say "Call Mama now".
(By the way, talking about Along, she is always strict with the siblings. She is the leader. She wants to be the monitor in primary school and director of events in the uni and also trying to be the dean at her work place one day. Insyallah!)

Same goes when Aiman jerit to Widad. "Ibu panggil tu". (aiman suka menjerit, that is his life yang full of high pitch voice. second child syndrome?)


Not a unique family but a complicated one. Nama pun nak panggil macam2.

I totally put on weight like 6kg.  The last time (which was my happy time- like 6 months ago), I was 51.3kg. It was the weighing scale at home. I was really sick at that time. In and out of hospital. No wonder that weight. So back to the story with 57.3kg. Ok. my height is about 151 or 152 or 150cm. I got shrunkcn over the years (my new theory). I was like not really happy because all my pants (literally bought like 11 pairs). Denim palazo. It was fine when I was 51kg - ish. Even in the process of gaining weight, the palazo still fits me. Size M. The denim palazo is really light weight. Not the jeans ones.  So now, I feel se'eh when wearing it. I could not fit Size M anymore. Although 57.3kg. Arghhh. Went to the shop to alter. They only can alter like less than half an inch. No way. Not comfortable. So, I bought new ones. Like about 10 more. I lied. I bought...

1 - The First

 . . . Well. Started blogging in 2008. Last week, all gone. My blog is gone.  Totally. Stories and photos from my trips and literally lived in a few countries for years and years. UK, US, South Korea, Germany, Switzerland, Netherland, Greece, Japan, Brunei and a few more. Totally forgotten.  Yeah, blame blogger for deleting my blog.  With the networking, oh no, arghhhhh! *Pulangkan wang kami sekang! ~~ Vista Seri Putra, Kajang 2.7.25
