Alor Setar under water

We interupt our normal programming to bring the news: 

Malaysian Northern States are under water! Jeng jeng jeng..

Haih...i am being serious lah. Of course am not making fun of my own hometown, Alor Setar and also Daddylicious's hometown in Ketereh, Kelantan. 

Came into the office and my aunty was informing me, her (arwah mother's) house in JALAN SULTANAH! is under water. Based on the photos we were viewing, it is approximately under 3 feet of water. THAT IS A LOT OF WATER TO FLOOD JALAN SULTANAH! Waaah...

So you can guess my grandmother's, Baby PP great-grandmother's concern with her house, my 'kampung' at Bakar Bata, Alor Setar. Her place? Right next to Kedah River. 

Baby PP at 2 months old: first and only trip to Alor Setar

Short overnight visit to Nek Wan's place 

See how near the river is. I think the house is part of the river now.

Please pray that flood won't damage my grandmother's house.

Flooding has happened before but not to this extend when even Jalan Sultanah is under water. 

Poor grandmother....thank God she is in Kuala Lumpur at the moment or she would definitely be trying to save of her possessions BY HERSELF! ..yup she would try to lift everything to the second floor without asking for help because that is my grandmother. 'Ketegaq'...like the rest of her family...including me. sigh.

So far, family members in affected areas are in good spirits (especially those that are used to flooding), and all are safe. Lets pray for their continous safety and limited damages to their homes.

Baby made her first trip to KLCC

Yes, its PP first trip to Kuala Lumpur City Center at 6 months and 2 weeks old. I haven't been to KLCC for a looong time. And to think I used to go there everyday for meeting clients. .... and I was "K.G dot com" (very VERY impressed) when seeing all the new shops and new deco going around. even the new CCTV system at the parking caught my eyes. When did that happened?

PP having tea with the Mad Hatter and co. PP was not impressed. 

Arrived there approx. 5pm to meet with Daddylicious post-work. Throngs of people leaving twin towers offices streaming out, of course met a few old colleagues who all did double takes at me (the red stroller and baby threw them off). And i never felt so popular with the sales people in all the boutiques and department stores! even while we were moving, we had to stop when PP was getting her "grand welcome" to KLCC. 

Just browsing? always feel sheepish and overwhelmed by salespeople snotty attitude towards you? Bring a baby along! doesn't have to be yours! and they will melt, melt, melt! plus. "baby-needs-to-move-she's-bored" is also a good getaway excuse from overbearing salespeople.

Tips for new moms-to-be, always remember your child's age as this is the NO.1 question strangers and friends will ask you. Over and over and over again.

PP is approximately 65cm tall according to Mr Giraffe at Isetan's Nursery room entrance

I think i need to start a series of baby rooms review at KL shopping centers. So more about Isetan's nursery room in later post.

PP and Daddylicious surveyed golf merchandised. PP looks bored here, good girl.

After surveying more handbags, wasted time, got my rings cleaned and polished at Habib (and me being reminded by the salesperson that though my wedding ring looks humble, it is not. Yeah, yeah Daddylicious, thank you but enough giving me *that look), we headed off to the real reason why I was in KL. To have dinner with PP's great-grandparents who is down in KL from Kelantan for a mere 5 days. 

Dinner at Full House. Of course all attention was to PP

Who is missing? *laughing at PP's missing aunties. Evil SIL i am.

 What shall PP have off-the menu? Concentrating hard to choose

PP having her dinner

I was trying out a new readypackaged food, Organix. loved it at first, got bored of it soon after.

PP was very impressed by the deco. couldn't stop looking at the fountain, the doves and the green, green hedges. Especially the green, green creeper filled backdrop at our dinner table. She wanted to touch it all the time. Touch. grab. touch. grab. pull. touch. touch. Thank God no sucking at it!

Touch.touch.grab.grab.pull.

With her great-grandparents.

Touch.touch.slap.

With her TokBah

Nope. No actions here

When we reached home. It was time for bed. Sometimes i feed her sitting up, but tonight, she only BF better if i were to lie down with her. And as usual, PP suckles while I be online reading FB statuses, trying to type one handed, news and other Mummylicious blogs i follow. 

So while i was on lizzieasamummy blog who is a close friend, PP stopped suckling and looked at my laptop screen. and kept looking. and kept looking. and kept on looking not moving. two minutes tops. After endless coaxing for her to continue suckling, finally she suckled for ONE second before continue staring. Okay...an early start to Mummylicious and Daddylicious boy-troubles. 

So what was she busy looking at? This....

PP busy memorising Aiden's face before going to bed.  

Dreaming of a boy already?!
