23 months
It has been really a while since i last updated on Ms. Amirah Elfina aka Fina. Well, for sure she's getting naughtier with high curiosity now. She likes to imitate her big sister, Amirah, always following her sister around, making Amirah mad at her. Fina still maintains her adorable and sweet. Its very difficult to get angry at her cause of her funny and innocent looks. She will make her face so cute that you cant resist to smile at her...
Fina loves climbing. she would climb the sofas, chair, table and jump, giving Mama n Papa a headache. Macam boy. she started to pick up more vocabs now such as:
Mama, papa, kakak, ball, please, air, baby, tv, umbrella, fish, siti, sidi, nyam nyam, pipi, ear, kaki, tummy, daddy, mummy, star, beast, car, bas, sakit, etc... dah tak dpt keep track dah
She had also learnt to say no by moving her head left and right if she refuse or disagree with us.. we noticed this new gesture when we went back from London where Fina and Amirah stayed in Kajang with our parents (both sides) for about 1 week. she must had picked up lots of things during our absence.
the most interesting thing now is that Fina can sing twinkle twinkle little star and ABC songs... although she cant pronounce properly but anyone who listens would know and recognize the songs easily...
Another milestone is that, she can even sing the Disney's song Beauty and the Beast! i was quite shocked too. We have this Disney's songs CD which we usually listen to in the car because Amirah loves to listen and sing the songs in the car. Especially when it comes to Beauty and The Beast and A Whole New World (Aladdin) songs, Amirah will forced us to duet and sing with her as well.. one day, we noticed that Fina also sang along with us... and she even knew where to continue and so on! we were like whoaaaaaaa caused she did not listen to the songs as much as we do. during the weekdays, she would stay at home while mama n papa go to work and Amirah go to school. That's why we listened to the songs more often than her... Fina would only have the opportunity to listen if we took her out after we went home or during the weekend. And amazingly she could catch up with the song! Now, it's not just the 3 of us who will sing along the song together, but 4 of us instead! the whole family! i bet Amirah n Fina will declare the Beauty n the Beast and A Whole New World songs as the family songs. well, at least until they got bored with the songs.
another month to go and Fina will be 2 years old. Her birthday is on 5th September plus we will be celebrating Eid on the same month. So, i guess we will be celebrating her birthday in kampung; Perlis or Penang first. the actual celebration will be held together with Amirah's birthday, sometime in November or December, in which we will decide later. Mama has started to prepare some of the items for their birthday party. The themes for this year will be Dora for Fina and Barbie for Amirah...
We will also be sending Fina to her first school in September, as soon as she turns 2. We will sending her to a new school, same as her big sister, Amirah. Amirah will also go to a new school to accommodate her education as well as her little sister. She must be missing her old friends in Oren, but for her own good, its time for her to study, rather than doing nothing and just watching tv at her current nursery.
ok... will continue later. these are some of the updated pics of little Fina.

London 2011
Dear Elfina,
Papa kena gi outstation for 5 days. This time to London. After did some thinking and consulted some people, mama decided to take my annual leaves and ikut Papa. the reasons being were because it will be just a short trip, mama can do quick shopping while papa is working :), free accommodation and the best part, also free airline tix. Yup, free airline ticket sbb Papa boleh redeem Papa punyer Enrich points yg byk tuh. So, boleh dpt return ticket from KLIA to Heathrow for mama. Mama just bayar tax jer. So, overall for the 5 days trip to London, Mama just paid about RM1,800 aje.. so, sgt berbaloi kan?
But the down side was, we can't bring both of u along. lagi pon, takut Amirah n Fina kena jet lag lagi, and Mama can't afford to bring both of u jalan2 sebab Papa pergi kerja time tu.. takkan kita nak duduk kat hotel saja kan? plus full price airline tickets for both of you, dekat RM4000 sorang = RM8000. so, apa yang Papa n Mama buat, we called back up from Perlis.. we decided to minta tlg Mak Tuk, Tuk Ayah, Si Ti and Si Di jagakan Amirah n Fina kat Kajang.
Well, overall for Mama, the London trip was a shopping trip.. boleh dikatakan mcm shopping raya laa kot... anyway, plan asal takde laa nak beli byk sgt pon, however we ended up borong sakan pulak... From 2 luggage of about 25 kgs total, we brought home 3 luggage (addition of 1 big luggage) with total of 60 kgs. Some major items yang Mama n Papa bought were of course toys and plush (Simba n Nala) from Disney Store; sgt banyak baju, seluar n kids clothing from Primark; Samsonite luggage from Bicester Village; shirts papa yang sgt byk; one top from Burberry; Handbag from Gucci; jerseys and sports related from Lillywhites, 2 dresses from Zara, etc.
We stayed at Marriot Hotel, Marble Arch. Short walking to Oxford St. Papa was only available on Saturday and Sunday. So, we spent our time shopping for both of the days. We also went to Notting Hill on Sunday afternoon tu. On Monday n Tuesday, Papa kena work. So, mama kena jln sorang2 or jalan ngan wife boss Papa, Michelle. On Monday, mama jln2 kat Oxford Street lagi, before going to Hard Rock Shop and lunch kat Hard Rock Cafe dengan Auntie Michelle. Malam, mama ngan Auntie pergi tgok musical show, Mamma Mia kat Prince of Wales Theater. The show was really fantastic. Sgt2 best. I'm sure both of you will also enjoy it. At the end of the show, they would sang all the hit songs again and danced together.. even some of us pon would stand up and danced along. Nanti dah besar, i will bring both of u to see such shows ya.. We were lucky that with only 62.50 pounds, we could get box punyer seating, macam VVIP pulak.. even the seatings located below cost about the same, yg penting kena pandai cari booth yg jual seat murah.
On the last day (Tuesday), mama jalan sorang2. Mama decided to take a hop on hop off bus tour from the Original Bus Tour. Last 2 years during winter, we took the Big Bus Tour. Mama stopped at some main landmarks of London and took some pics before ended up taking a short tour to the Tower of London.. i only found out that the Tower of London was also the same place that they used to shoot Harry Potter. Finally i ended up to make a quick stop at Disney Store, to grab those lovely Nala and Simba for both of u. Our flight back to Malaysia was later that night. We arrived the next evening.
Amirah dengan Adik ikut sekali ambik mama n papa kat airport on Wednesday tu.. amirah ngan fina dtg ngan Si Di, Tok Ayah n Mak Tok. Amirah tido dlm kereta. Fina duduk dgn Mak Tok. Fina excited sgt bila nampak papa n mama... kejap nak ke depan, kejap nak ke belakang. As for Amirah, bila nampak mama pegang Nala, Amirah pon bangun.. Mama bg Simba dekat adik... Mama n Papa really missed both of you when we were in London.
For both of u, these are some of the pics that Mama n Papa took in London. We Love both of You.

4th of July, Birthday's Mama n Zoo Negara
Its 4th of July and its Mama's birthday. We took a day off just to spend our time together. First we took our beloved yellow RG 7111 car to the workshop in Ampang to change the windscreen. Well, the car got a crack on the windscreen quite sometime ago. But we couldn't hold any longer. so, we decided to ahead to Ampang instead.
While waiting for the car, we had a birthday lunch at Restoran Ikan Bakar Sekinchan. We went to the restaurant in Kota Damansara before and it turned out not that good. But this time, it was far better than our previous experience. We ordered ikan siakap n cencaru bakar with other side dishes. we took our own sweet time there as it would take 2 hours for the car to be ready. Then, we decided to walk to the workshop. On our way there, we stopped by Manjaku store. Mama decided to get some of the things, while Papa called the workshop's owner to fetch us at Manjaku instead.
Well, the car was ready. Then, we suddenly decided to go to Zoo Negara. Amirah n Fina were really excited that we were going to see animals in the zoo. They really had a great time, watching the shows, particularly parrots and the sea lions, walking and running around as well as taking the tram. Some animals that attracted them that day were the hippos, giraffes, elephants, lions, tigers, fish, penguins, cows, ponies, monkeys, etc.
After that, we decided to relax a bit and enjoyed some ice creams. yummy. well, fina n amirah slept during our way back to Kota Damansara. We really had a blast day, filled with unplanned activities. Quite awesome really, when we just decided on activities adhoc instead of planning them earlier.
Since the zoo visits, kakak Amirah kept talking about the zoos and the animals that we saw over there. She also mentioned on the animals at the night safari and the aquarium that we saw back in Singapore.
As for Fina, a zoo visit sure improved her vocabs on the animals. Now, she even knows how to sound like the animals that she saw in the zoo. And of course, Fina enjoyed more at the zoo as she was braver than her big sister. :)
