Sibuk kedua… menikmati kembali ke cara lama dalam membaca. Lagi menikmati kembali baca sambil nyeruput teh manis anget, sambil boboan sampe ketiduran di waktu malem (dulu jaman masih sama orang tua terlarang banget, nambah2 minus katanya), ato sambil nungguin anak2 main di rumah. Kembali membaca dari deretan huruf yang tercetak dengan tinta di atas keras. Lebih nyaman buat mata, dibanding baca2 dari lappy dengan sinar berpendarnya yang sering bikin mata lelah. Jadi emang ga nyempetin nulis, apalagi blogwalking.
Dalam 4 bulan belakangan ini mungkin buku yang dibaca lebih banyak dibandingkan 3 taun terahir selama tinggal di KL.

Terakhir yang bikin sibuk juga sih acara masak memasak. Tadinya acara masak selalu diusahakan selesai dalam tempo yang sesingkat-singkatnya; yang penting anak2 makan sehat. Sebagai akibatnya si emak maksain diri masak sehingga lama2 jenuh. Suatu waktu nemu majalah resep Rasa di tempat ibu Deasy. Majalah edisi taun 2008 sebenernya, terbitan Malaysia. Tapi temanya sedang membahas masakan Indonesia. Resepnya sendiri original dari restoran2 Indonesia yang ada di KL, kaya Sari Ratu, Wong Solo, Puti Bungsu. Jadilah mulai sibuk nyobain resep2nya. Ngedapur-lah kita di pagi buta supaya kemakan sama suami sebelum berangkat ke kantor. AlhamduliLlah sih rasanya memang sesuai, meski emang perlu dipertanyakan lagi kuantitas bumbu2 yang disebut di sana. Bayangin aja, ayam seekor disuruh dibumbuin 300gr lengkuas n 300gr jahe, yang bener ajaaa…. kayak apa rasanya yak. Ya pokonya dengan sedikit mengkritisi jumlah bumbu, rasa masakan memang seperti yang di Sari Ratu ituh. Jadinya jatah nginternet di pagi buta sebelum anak dan suami bangun, hilang sudah. Jadilah ya begini, ga nulis2 sampe sekian lama

I love you Schatzy,
more each day
Happy 5th Anniversary

She has started to memorize short surah (juz ‘amma) and alfatihah. Child is very fast when it comes to memorize something. So I need to add my recitation of juz ‘amma, otherwise she will beat me hehe (I remembered Ust. Muntaha reminded us a lot about this, “Masa dari SD sampe sekarang hafalannya cuman dari AnNaas sampe AdhDhuha aja.” Gubrags, tersindir berat).

Raisha also paid a great attention to music. For the last three month she has started to learn piano lesson at Yamaha Music Course and looked like she really enjoys.

Meanwhile Dinda is 1.5 year old now. Her vocabularies were still limited to bapak, teteh, mamam, mimi. Luckily her gross motoric skills were progressing a lot. She now could climb the stairs without help (and made my heart almost stop beating), unfasten her harness in the car seat (and climb down the carseat to reach me while I’m still driving, omG), climb the chair up and down, etc.
Her fine motoric skills were improving as well. She could feed herself (and make a big mess rightafter), scribble (including on the wall hiks hiks), and play with lego.
She’s also a real copycat. She copied everything she saw which made her interested such as brooming the house, combing the hair, calling with the telephone (and made the home phone broken) singing and dancing to the rhytme she heard.

One thing that made me feel very surprised about her was that she often went to the toilet when she need to poo; took off her pants and diaper by herself and asked me to carry her to the watercloset.
