Every Friday, I send the Moses to my mom's house. So we leave really early in the morning, at 6:30 am. Which means that Zane doesn't get to see the Moses till that evening.
This morning, as I was getting ready, Zane lay down next to the Moses, just staring at the little chickadee's sleeping face.
"Can I wake him up?" he asked hopefully.
"Better not, Sayang...he woke up at 4 am this morning to play and he just only got back to sleep...," I said a little carelessly.
Then as I was brushing my teeth, mulling over my response to him, I felt a little guilty. How could I not let the father play with his son for a little while?
I popped out of our bathroom and said, "Okaylah, you can wake him up, but you jaga dia while I get ready okay..."
Zane was like a little boy all over again. Gleeful at the prospect of playing with his son.
While I was in the bathroom, I heard him gently wake the Moses up, "Musa...hello Musa...good morning Musa..."
It never fails to amaze me how much Zane is besotted with the Moses. A happy smile always beats in my heart when I think of the bond between father and son.

Take five
Happy mundane: Being told I'm beautiful when I least felt like it!
Something not-so-nice: My car not starting just when I needed to reach home super-quick.
Current dream: This little studio.
Repeat this track: If there is something, Roxy Music
Recent gift: A simple "real deal" pendant inscribed with "like the moon left on all night" by hubby

Beautiful
I've always thought of myself as the ugly duckling in the family. Unfortunately, I never grew up to be any swan either. Beauty was such an issue with me as a teenager and though I'm not so hung up about it now in my adult years, occasionally, I do feel insecure about my looks.
I think I only truly feel appreciated by my husband. Sometimes, even that is little consolation to me as he's always been out of kilter in his tastes and views.
But this morning, when I woke him up from slumber, he rolled over, blinked back the sleep from his eyes, and sighed, "You look so beautiful..."
I kissed him goodbye and glowed all the way to work!

On the 5th day of Raya, my lover gave to me...
Raya this year was not Raya at all.
On the first day of Raya, we drove back to Zane's hometown in Parit, Perak. He was sick from the moment we pushed off and it just got worse over the days.
On the second day of Raya, he told me to practise driving his car in case he still wasn't well enough to drive us back later. I managed to go forward and reverse. It was a huge task, driving that car!
On the third day of Raya, alhamdulillah, he was well enough to drive and we came back to KL.
On the fourth day of Raya, Musa pulak caught a fever. The Doc said it was due to teeth eruption. It was the first time he really got sick. I was at a loss for what to do.
On the fifth day of Raya, everyone was well and I actually got a breather from taking care of sick people. I chowed down on a burger at The Daily Grind and went shopping. It was heavenly.
Happy Raya, people.

Song in my head
Some things just linger on in the mind. Since last night, it was Roxy Music's If There is Something which was part of the Flashbacks of a Fool's OST. I kept on rewinding to the part where Joe Scott (blue eye shadow and glitter jacket) and Ruth Davies danced to the song.
I guess it just reminded me of those times my sister and I watched all the British acts on Top of the Pops. Those Brits. Those years. Now that's what I call music!
I would do anything for you
I would climb mountains
I would swim all the oceans blue
I would walk a thousand miles
Reveal my secrets
More than enough for me to share
I would put roses round our door
Sit in the garden
Growing potatoes by the score
Shake your hair girl with your ponytail
Takes me right back (when you were young)
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The hills were higher (when we were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The trees were taller (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The grass was greener (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
