The Perwakilan Ladies Meet Baby Kazim

kazim is two weeks old today.

from the moment we brought him back home, he's been receiving guests wanting to see his cutie pie face hihi. first kak zaida and family came that night to send khaleef and kahfi whom they took care of when mr. khairul was busy with me in the hospital.

then few days later our 'neighbour' kamil who's also mr. khairul's mckk batchmate came with a buddy from abu dhabi and his family.

the next night another mckk alumni bro faisal and wife kak muna came bringing home-cooked lauk pantang for me - yum!

and just this morning, a group of 11 ladies came!

today morning kazim welcomed the *perwakilan ladies who came by to take a peek at the new baby kay. now what is the 'perwakilan' club?

*'perwakilan' is an acronym of 'persatuan wanita kementerian luar negeri', and membership is automatically opened to wives of home-based staff of the malaysian high commission and malaysian govermental agencies.

it's just nice to know that apart from the wonderful friends i've made while in dubai, i also belonged to this little club; headed by the consul general's wife kak sarah, and members include wives of consuls, vice-consuls, directors and officers of the malaysian gov agencies in dubai.

it was a festive affair; with the ladies chattering about babywearing, exchanging recipes and cooking tips with mr. khairul's mom, as well as sharing stories of pantang experience.

khaleef & tini

hmm. i think the kids enjoyed it the most! don't bother with khaleef's icky blue teeth! he got that after munching a very blue, very berry doughnut!

"girl! girlllllll!!!" khaleef jerit panggil. sape pulak si 'girl' ni? la...si tini rupanya, fairus's eldest girl. i think they're so cute together! *wink wink*

kahfi & falisha

while big bro hit it off with si kakak, kahfi went and lepak with the little sister la pulak! hihi. falisha is super cute and super chubby. *pinch pinch*!

little hafiyy & mama adzlin; opah khaleef kasi donut kat budak-budak

mr. khairul's mom made a simple bihun goreng and cucur for the guests. and it's comforting to see that even simple dishes can be a nice little touch to a great company.

the kids munch doughnuts, of course!

fairus the mom-photographer; and the awesome gift box from her with lotsa goodies for not only kazim, but mak kazim as well!

fida is the designated photographer for our perwakilan club, while fairus is slowly carving her niche in artistic photography. so, the two were talk-talk-talking-camera just now! towards the end, auntie fairus was busy clicking away for snapshots of the sleeping kazim.

...and even planned a special photoshoot soon!

the ladies brought lotsa goodies; and i think even bottles of kicap cap kipas udang! best!

my silly socks, and the one from fida

fida gave me a pair of korea socks - sweet and flowery, a striking contrast from my black, silly pair of smiley socks! thanks fida!

the ladies also signed a card - thank you all!


thanks so much to consul general's wife kak sarah, datin nora, kak zulfa, kak mala, kak pah, kak nik, kak nor, nyta, adzlin, fida and fairus for sparing some time to visit my little kazim.

thanks for your warmth presence and the goodies you ladies brought! i think khaleef was most excited to see the big box of dunkin donuts that made his teeth turned blue! yikes!

special thanks to fairus for bringing me that one item i really needed but did not have! *wink wink* - she also gave kazim this wonderfully weird blanket-like-slash-dolly-slash-scarecrow-like thingy that works like babies' bantal busuk. it's really something new and i urm....sheesh, i think i need another posting just for that cute silly-willy little item. hihi.

thanks again, ladies! kalau ade masa datanglah lagi!
