Today we celebrated my cousin Ridhwan’s engagement. If all goes well, he’ll tie the knot in two years’ time. Such a grown-up he is now. It seems like only years ago we played ‘fights’. Really, we used to fight for no apparent reason, just for the fun of it. I think we’re still in kindergarten/pre-school at that time. I hope he doesn’t bear grudges against me, because I started most of them if not all (oops). Fast forward 20-odd years later, he’s already engaged! And his fiancee Nadia is looking very ravishing in that gold outfit!
It was afternoon when I reached his place today. I had brought Misha, Mika and Ipul along. The husband and Baby Anaqi stayed behind at home. I try not to let the little one be exposed to crowds as yet in his current condition.
The gifts were all ready. We just needed to add a few last minute touch-ups to beautify them further. Taking photos was a challenge for me especially with the kids in tow. Thankfully, I’ve got help from Syiq, a second-cousin of mine. The pictures turned out beautiful! (Thanks, Syiq!).
When Rid’s entourage left for his fiancee’s (which is just a stone’s throw away), the kids and I stayed behind to enjoy the deliciously-prepared food, courtesy of my uncle, Caca.
Congratulations Ridhwan and Nadia on your engagement!

It’s been almost a month since the birth of Anaqi, and Misha has been showing nothing but warm affection towards her little brother thus far. Many a times she would ‘help out’ while I change his diaper, or give him his bath, or wake up to feed him in the middle of the night. She will always be by his side, either stroking his head, or shower him with small little kisses.
She is one who would noticeably look for wet tissues whenever excess milk spews out of the baby’s mouth. She would call out to me claiming "the baby is calling you" whenever she hear him cry. She would try to quieten him down by hushing and patting him when I’m busy doing other things and not attending to the little one on time. She would bring to him her favourite books and toys, probably thinking that anything she might want is something her brother might also want.
In all, I’m pretty pleased with her reaction towards Anaqi. Her caring behaviour – the same way as she had cared for her other brother when he was just a baby – to me, is very awe-inspiring indeed.
I wish the same can be said of Mika, but so far he had been quite ignorant to his little brother’s existence. He probably needs a little bit more time for the idea to settle in. We’ll see.
I was gonna post something but the mind suddenly went blank. Blame it on the flu meds I’m on, it is making me damn drowsy.
(darn, I can’t even spell things right…)
Better catch some sleep before the husband gets home – hopefully with some nice packed food! (am hungry!)
