chip..chip.. Aariz 9th month development

Aariz is taking his nap. In any minute he will wake up for milk. So, I'm taking this chance to update my blog. Aariz is 10 months now, but I haven't update his 9th month development. Imagine Aariz will ask me, " Mummy, where's my 9th month story? " Oh boy.

9 month Aariz loves his toy. He knew to push, bang and checking gravity ( throw things that come cross his path) I was surprised when I saw him (for his first time) pushing. It took energy you know =) Aariz dah pandai pun susun2 his mainan, knows the coordiation of the small or big loop when he wants to place them.

Aariz playing at his space.

Aariz is xylaphoning

ti-la-so-fa-me-re-do!

Aariz is still exclusively BF, insyAllah will continue sampai umur 2 tahun. His diet has changed from blended food, now dah makan yang bertexture. Porridge and side dishes; chicken soup and potato, fish soup and tomato..memang special makanan Aariz tau. I give him biscuit as his finger food. Tengok tu makan comot =)

Tak tak, anak mummy comel.

Aariz can focus thing that attracks him. Last weekend we went to KL bird park. Tengoklah aksi Aariz tu.

Aariz dah kurang tidur siang, and he sleeps well at night. Tidur dalam aircond memang nyenyak,haihh kena duk oversea ni! But sometimes Aariz mengigau nangis atau ketawa. I wonder what he's doing in dreamland. Like seriously, is baby ever dream? Comel.

Aariz can stand up steadily ..dah fasa meniti, in any time can walk! But I love it when we both (and daddy) boleh lepak2 kat sofa and watching tv together.

Yes Aariz is a big boy now, in two months will become a toddler. I thought I heard him saying 'mama' last day..ouhh boy!

Always be my baby.

today at Rawsha

We were somewhere in KL to clarify my sim card problem. I applied for change from my prepaid plan to postpaid..yup, I'm an Xpax celcom loyal customer, been using the same number since we couldn't imagine how cheap a sim card costs now. Remember Hotlink sim card was RM238! gilaaa..

And alang2 berada di KL, I texted my friend, "Aida boleh bagi suggestion for any Arabic cuisine restaurants?" I want lamb lamb! And she replied, "Rawsha.. yang bangunan dia macam castle."

Yay..it is! That don't impress me much... But until our food came..

Besarnya lamb! Sebesar garfu besar. This order is meant for 2 person. Jangan order 2 pinggan ok! And we had roti with meat vegetables pula lepas tu. Hmmm.. my husband kept saying, "nevermind  it's good for milk production! " 

Aariz pula had his lunch that I cooked earlier. Yes, he had meat too. I gave him chicken since last two weeks, tengok ok je ..so I continue giving him in moderate amount je la. 

Happy Aariz dapat tengok-tengok. 

So, that was Rawsha. Sumpah menu dia tak biasa - Basbossa, Madghut, Tawook . Tak biasa kan. But Istambul?  Maybe it's a typo. Hmm the taste is there but I opted for Briani Gam Putrajaya for next time.

Museum visit : Orang Asli, traditional and beliefs

Our national museum is located just alongside Mahameru highway. The giant poster gives an easy updates on new running exhibition. I remember the last time we went to the museum was to check on the new interior (after months of construction) and Traditional Weapon exhibition

As much as I do like museum, we took Aariz for his first visit...hehe it's never too early to introduce him such weekend activity that benefits. We arrived at 5ish and someone told us that the museum was nearly close, but we didn't bother. And look who we met!

Dato' Ibrahim, Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Muzium Malaysia. We truly respect your work and dedication  of bringing a positive change to our museums nationwide.

When we think about Orang Asli, it pictures us about a group that has its own language and culture, and perceives itself as different from the others. But it is not to suggest that (our) Orang Asli is live in isolation. Government and  agencies has develop more programmes for them, refer JHEOA.

Mind you, this is a picture heavy entry!

As an animistic society, the Orang Asli belief system is governed by the spirits within their surroundings. Plants, caves, rivers, mountains, rocks, animals (and anything you can think of) are believed to possess a soul and spiritual power.

They look upon dreams to inspire their daily action. No such thing as an empty dream, mimpi bukan mainan tidur =)  For them, the dreams signifies the journey of the spirit in another world. The images that emerge from their dreams are reflection of a particular soul. 

Dreams are also as inspiration for religion and healing treatment. They are more reason behind any illness, which is derived from disturbed soul.

This is Bes (ghost). For example the left Bes will cause a stomach sickness.

The last part of healing or the special method of treatment is by using Sampan, which the illness will be washed into the river.

The main thing I like about this exhibition was the endeavor to construct the exhibition like real, gives us the chance to follow and understand their life.

The Orang Asli is special in their own way. One thing for sure, they view  the world such as the origin  (hence, Orang Asli) and they focus on the relationship between different elements and various other matters contained within it. 

Wallahualam. 

"Aariz ok?"

"Ok Mummy..thank you!"

Melaka

Oh ya, April will end soon and I've only 5 entries for this month. Just where are all of my promises to update this blog gone, anyway? I've made so many promises. Promise to submit my last chapter this week. I better be, because I'm really itching to sew again.

Anyway, photos tell stories.


Location : Jonker Walk, Melaka

It was Aariz's first time out to Jonker walk. Hmm, Malaysia blessed with summer all year round, I must say.
Aariz was too sleepy while we were strolling around. But he didn't fall asleep.

Apart from cendol and laksa mission (if you're familiar with Jonker walk, you know exactly what I'm talking about), we went to Cheng Ho's museum.

I've always fascinated with China, of course I'm interested with Cheng Ho's story. So this place was his old warehouse, porcelain factory. Please note that the museum ain't run by Malaysian, it's Singaporean man who made this place because of his passion toward Cheng Ho's remarkable voyages.

An illustration to show the place once upon a time  -  The river now.

The exhibits are all about Cheng Ho's life and his 7 voyages. The admiral was a muslim, his great-grandfather was from somewhere in Uzbekistan. 

Cheng Ho and his crews visited Melaka brought their finest silk, herbs and tea. And a friendly exchange of culture, technology and to spread the Ming Dynasty. Hmm, semangat betul tour guide museum ni cerita. Worth the RM10 ticket =)

Inside the ship; rooms, kitchen, seng sei ..

Tapi memang besarlah kapal Cheng Ho. I mean, respect betul owner museum ni. Semangat.


Talk about Ming Dynasty will remind us about Cheng Ho, or  Qin dynasty for the famous Terracota army. Well, a museum should be a place where you indulge with curiosity.  Obviously terbeli buku pula, from the souvenir shop - 'China History ; Ancient China to 1911' .

I like Melaka, and this boulevard.

I love you Aariz!

tanpa langkah pertama, tiada langkah beribu

Finas. The meeting went well but there's still a room for improvement.

The thing that I always wanted. Coming soon =)

But the next thing I know is to get an oversize belt to be paired with the pants.
