hazim and his crew cut

the other day papa brought hazim for his first cut outside. he came back like he just signed up to be in the army. no more curly locks for him. now he looks so like boy. I felt like some part of me flew away looking at how my firstborn has grown up so. He's 18 months this month and he's no longer a baby. Hazim is so independant now. Now that I'm on a break from school I can see how he can manage most of the time on his own. Opah has trained him just like how we were trained but with more TLC. of courselaa .. cucu sorang ..

Hazim can now ..

1. process info and carry out simple tasks like shutting the door, turning off/on tv/dvd/radios etc etc (under supervision)

2. sleep by himself but now mama's home must sleep with uknowwhat first.

3. suap himself or hold own cup and drink

4. climb up and come down the stairs by himself (still under supervision)

5. really act 'the good boy' part in front of company. the other nite, after sending off atuk and wan at KLIA, we went out for dinner with mak ngah and co, slept thru out the journey and dinner. Only on the way back did he woke up. To mak ngah, one who lets her to eat and talk in peace and quiet is pure angel. thats my boy, an angel.

6. entertain us single handedly with his antics .. ie his silat, his version of negaraku and we will rock you .. tokki says he's 6 yrs old not 1 yr 6 months

7. show more defined emotions such as jealousy, happiness, sadness etc. we understand him more these days. he can say more words but at times we're stull lost in translation.

8. enjoys more things around him like books, trains and aeroplanes, sights and sounds .. and so much more

Its such a wonderful experience to explore this colourful world of hazim .. Each day is a new learning process for both me and him .. my sweet child .. how i love you so ..

now my whining part. I've yet to receive my allowance. Stoopid training centre. You expect us to give and give and give but u dont play your part. Its not that I'm in dire straits but this hols would be nicer if it could be filled with shopping. I've got so many things on my mind. My shopping list and cravings grow longer each day but remail unfulfilled looking at the balance of my govt bank. Urgh .. I just hate this waiting ordeal. Stoopid training centre. how typical of your kind to treat us like this .. I thot I have let loose of things like these but u haunt me back. My sibs are also waiting in anticipation hoping it would be sooner so they get things I have promised them .. I'm so bad ..

As for classes, I'm swamped with work (Whats new?) even during these hols. 3 big jobs and uncounted petty work. but all must be done .. got ample time hopefully. I'm dedicating my whole week to papa n hazim n family. no squeezing in work. It will only commence next week. hehheeh .. fOrtunately, we had this much deserved break, the class was starting to hit on my nerves, I dunno what wudve happened without this holiday. I guess i wudve exploded. but I get to maintain both sanity and dignity ..

gosh this entry's long .. nuff said i guess
