We went to TESCO Puchong last night to get some groceries. Stopped by at McDonalds to eat and just like every other time, Miki would be storming the playground will all his might. There were many kids there last night, almost all at around his age. So Miki was extra excited, having all those equally energetic friends to play with.  He climbed the steps on lightning speed, slide down the slides on his tummy, then head first, then commando crawled up. His hair began to drench in sweat, his face flushed pink.

He was having a jolly good time. He was the great King and the little playground was his Kingdom. I had to interfere several times, especially when he was getting into a fight with another kid that accidentally pushed him a little bit. He didn’t even fall down from the push, but my lil Chikadee just need to stand up and protect his territory – a spot in front of the see through plastic wall.

Then suddenly Miki came rushing down, and from very bottom step he fell on his right leg. Falling is normal. We don’t always pick up our kid when he falls down. Strong boys get up by themselves. That is why Miki is tough and doesn’t easily cry.

As usual he got up by himself. But this time his right leg was bent and he couldn’t seem to be able to straighten it. He took two wobbly steps and fell down. Got up again, two or three unstable steps later he fell down again! Nevertheless he kept on trying but MY SON WAS LIMPING!

We picked him up and asked him if it hurts? Where did it hurt? Miki could tell us if he feels pain and showed us exactly where the pain is since he was 13 months. But this time he didn’t answer.  His gaze was still fixed on the playground and he doesn’t seem to be in pain AT ALL! That consoled me a little bit but when we put him down. His right leg was still weak!

In my head I was screaming MIKI HAS A DISLOCATED JOINT! We examined his knee, it was bending smoothly and in the right way, but when Azman checked his ankle, he said that it felt different.

At that point I feel blood rushing up to my brain and stayed there forming a big red pool. My face felt hot and I wanted to puke.

Azman then denied that Miki’s right ankle was any different than the other and he had put Miki on the floor but his left leg remained limp and lifeless.

When I looked at him unable to walk, I started seeing stars.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BABY? DID HE SPRAIN HIS ANKLE? OR KNEE? DID HE BREAK A BONE? WHY COULDN’T HE WALK? I felt my head spin I knew I was gonna faint.

I went to a corner and sat down on the metal rail that was supposed to protect the glass wall from being rammed by TESCO trolleys. Like a mad woman. Without anyone telling me I knew I was dead pale. Azman kept assuring that Miki was ok. Because he was not in pain.

But even he was puzzled why Miki cannot walk. I took some time to put myself together and calm down. It was a panic attacked that I have never felt before. I was so afraid Miki was injured.

Remember the scene on TV when a mother faints upon hearing the news of her child involved in an accident, or arrested by the cops or simply fallen ill. I remember my late grandmother collapsed when she got the news that my uncle who was abroad had gotten sick.

I know now how it feels.

I can also foresee my own cause of death later in my life. Imagine me 50 years old and blogging knitting my in garden when received an instant message from Miki saying that he is engaged with a girl from THAT STATE IN MALAYSIA. I will automatically drop dead!

Don’t do this to me son, don’t you ever!!

Until now we do not know the cause of Miki limping. He was limping for full 10 minutes or so. But on our way home, Miki was alright again, all bouncy like a big rubber ball, dancing and giggling. We realized that Miki had KETAQ LUTUT!!!!!!

Yes, Miki yang ganazzz itu seorang yang gayat! He was afraid of heights.  For some reason he had suddenly felt giddy and insecure by the way he fell down and decided to CREATE A DRAMA TO MAKE HIS MOMMA SCARED!

I am just relieved that he was not hurt. Phew.  Miki, sehero-hero ko ni, tak sangka ko sangat gayat orangnya. Mummy and Daddy loves you son! You will get over this fear of yours soon! Muaahhhh!

“Mana ada Miki gayat Mummy?! Miki saja je pratice nak masuk Anak Wayang nanti..”

Come indulge yourself with daring chili hot, chocolate coated, mouth watering poses of chicken and fish in my food porn! Hahaha!

Many-many moons ago I bought a fish. It is a terubuk fish. One of the nastiest fish around when it comes to bones. I don’t know why God made them with so many. But the taste of their flesh I tell you very heavenly and very much like salmon.

What looked like a small fish at the market now had magically transformed into a huge marine vertebrate that covered my whole working conter. So I turned half of the fish into asam pedas.

With tomatoes and ladies fingers.

And the other half I grilled on the pan. If my mother ever sees this, I hope this fish won’t make her cry. My menyiang ikan skills are no better than my memicit jerawat skills. I always leave both fish and pores battered and torn. Sob!

This soup looked so pale. Well, it is after very much kurang pedas for Miki to enjoy as well. It is sup tulang, from our last Qurban.

This Daim chocolate pie doesn’t taste good to me. Same goes with the bbq chicken thigh. The sauce is tad too sweet for my liking. Both from Ikea café. Bueekkk…

Looks delicious only…

This post of old food photos is made solely as a reminder to me to get my lazy bum moving and start cooking again. I have left that exercise for so long I am losing my modjo. Arghhh lets get cooking!

Update : I would like to share this link with all of you coffee lovers, those who cannot think without coffee, those who drinks more than 4 cups of coffee daily- like me!!! I am sure you also didnt know that there are these many types of our fave drink in the world. hehehe.. click here – Coffee For Less

As I looked at this photo for the first time after it was taken, I had thought of something peculiar. OMG! That woman looks so much like Miki! And she was me.

This is the video that proves how wicked Miki’s dad can be. He purposely asked me to record his generosity of sharing his Coke with the baby so that we can have his funny facial expression on soft copy. Not that I have anything against that. Hehe!

Miki loves to watch photos and videos of himself. When he looks at this one, he keeps saying ” Wow, minum!! Pedas! Pedass! Tak sedap!” as the video is playing. I think he is trying to explain the story back to us. Funny that he says the Coke is pedas (spicy) though… I don’t know how to describe its taste either..

Love u Miki!!
