ASYRAF WITH HIS NEW HAIRCUT

Today Ayah has to prove himself that he can shave Asyraf's hair with his own shaver.  Asyraf, who is so afraid going to the barbershop, especially when he saw the "friend" barber..we then decided to do the haircut at home instead...and asked his Ayah to do the favour.  Luckily, when the shaver touched his hair, he didn't cry as much as he cried at the barbershop before.  Here are some of the photos taken before and after the haircut...Hehe...nampak jua mua babynya...nda jua ketuaan usulnya...

Before the haircut...(4 mths after his last visit to the barbershop)...

ish lebatnya sampai bertitikan air liur kena suruh smile...

(Ayah did well eventhough at first he hesitated to shave his own son's hair)

Selamat Hari Raya AidilFitri to All Muslims in Negara Brunei Darussalam....

Raya this year will be more fun as my son, Asyraf turns to 2 & I hope he is eager to celebrate raya with his Ayah & Ummi and does not scare to meet people who will come to our house or who will we meet...I also hope that this year raya will be meaningful if both sides of the family celebrate it together with an open heart...

ASYRAF @ EMPIRE

Asyraf & Ummi (tagged Santi the amah along) joined Aunt. Amal to help her organized a surprise birthday party for Aunt. Hidyah's bday @ one of the rented room @ the Empire Hotel...  Ummi's family from lambak came to join us too (but they came a bit late around 7.40pm)...Today is still the fasting month for NBD (the 13th day) so we had to wait for the sungkai to gave her the surprised...but unfortunately we had to break our fast without her as she was going out with her bf...around 8pm+ she finally came & finally cut the cake...Asyraf at first afraid to get into the room..but after 'sesi pujuk memujuk', he gave up & able to mingle with his cousins...

ASYRAF DINE @ PIZZA HUT

Ayah & Ummi decided to bring Asyraf to dine @ Swensens but after we saw a long queue on the way to the Mall so we changed our mind & we opt for Pizza Hut Gadong then.  Having a couple of weeks of annual leave, it brought us to a peace of mind...no stress & no rushing.  I think, if Asyraf can talk (he's still in baby talk), he would be expressing his feeling that how happy he is as his Ayah & Ummi tagged him along to wherever we went.  Btw, here are some photos taken on that nite....

Played with one of his fav toy while waiting for his Ummi to get ready 

(biasalah bini2 ani betabiat!..hehe)

Watched his fav cartoon on playhouse disney..the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

At the backseat..."Little Einsteins" is a must to him wherever he goes (long / short distances)

(hmmm...Ayah & Umminya just meliat pemandangan yang indah di luar..)

and a ball too..(any ball as long as its a round-shaped ball)

With Ayah @ d Pizza Hut

Little Einsteins on Ipod Touch too is a must to bring (as to keep him settle on his seat)

With full of concentration...
