This year will be the first year Kakak Mas will be spending summer by herself....without her brother with her that is. The summer for her started pretty sluggish this whole week as all that she ever wanted to do was stay home, watch tv, laze around in the house doing nothing...not even to clear the clean dishes from the dishwasher.

So I have a planned mission for her. To go to the Park and Recreation center where she can be a teenage volunteer all this summer and also to take up classes. So she will start her Park and Recreational volunteer this Monday (its time for her to 'give back' as she and her brother was taken care of by the volunteers past years) and she will be registered for either writing class or photography class (which she has requested).



Well, the reason for be wanting her to get out of the house this whole summer is so that her life does not change even when her brother is not here to be with her, play baseball with her and go to the Park and Recreation with her. I also do not want her to stay at home, be a mush brain and then feel depressed just cos she does not have a sibling her age anymore to do stuff that she loves to do.

Sometimes I wonder, does anyone in the other side of the world REALLY CARES of how my big girl feels? Do they REALLY CARE that her brother and her had grown together? Do they REALLY CARE that she does get lonely and does have feelings?




Kakak Mas went to a girlfriend's house today and we just picked her up. Oh how she misses her little sister so much. She grabbed Suraya and wouldn't let her go. Even tried to dress Suraya in her little pajama...but to no avail...budak tuh banyak sangat mengernyam!

Well, at least we know now that Kakak Mas' summer will be fruitful. She is going to the movies with her friends tomorrow and there will be no turning back in the next 2.5 months!

Phew...ibu is now relieved!




In the meantime, this milk mama is still breastfeeding. Suraya is touching 7 months next week and mama is still feeding and pumping at work. My co workers keep asking me how long I will be doing this...hmmm, maybe till she's one. So if they can't find me in the office, they know that I am busy pumping! I am still loving every moment of breastfeeding and I am not ready to 'break' the bond.




Tomorrow's my day off yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Happy long weekend to me!!!!

That's a good plan for Kakak Mas, Ely. Keep her occupied. She misses her brother, huh? That's pretty rough. Kudos to you for being proactive and getting her to do all those fun things. Hope she enjoys them.

I echo nohachomel, Subhanallah, Suraya is SO cute!!! She looks so good to be bitten, hahaha!! But I love how Kakak Mas kisses her, you can see how besotted she is with her adik. I was like that with my little baby brother too (9 years younger than me) - think our closeness when he was young somehow left a lasting impression in our brother-sister relationship, even though we're not so close and are completely different personalities. Am sure it'll be the same for Kak Mas and Suraya. Kudos to you too for being proactive in looking for something for K.Mas to do over the summer so she doesn't miss her bro. Am sure she'll do fine. :)

moby, i have to be proactive esp when my child is a teenager. what she had gone thru is too much for me to see her experience again and she deserves a good summer :)
