My masterpiece(s)

I nvr believed in luv…so God decided to show me.

He sent a guy…to sweep me off my feet.

Not quite a prince charming…but certainly boy-next-door.

I’ve always thought of myself as UGLY DUCKLING…but he made me see the SWAN in me.

No matter how cold I am towards him…he doesn’t fret, neither does he give up.

I can’t even be angry with him for too long…as he always has his way of planting a smile on my sour face.

I’ve given up giving my heart to the wrong undeserving boys...who make use of me for their own selfish purposes.

And just when I promised myself I’d keep my heart for myself…God sent him to me…

To let me discover…that luv, with the RIGHT one, is indeed…bee-you-tea-fool!

The story behind the above:

1. The poetry - I created it within 5 mins tru imagination.  It was created for my teenage cousin, Shera, who wanted something that she cld post on her blog to spite others to think that's she's happily in luv.  While I was amazed at my imagination, I wasn't too comfortable wondering where those feelings came from within me...was it a foresight?!!?  Today...it's like Dejavu!

2. The image - I did it in ppt when I gav my heart to Mr Wrong.  I loved sunset & the words were exactly what I was going tru at that time!  This was meant for Mr Wrong...but it nvr reached him.  He wasn't deserving of this!  Pretty sure there's someone else who'll be fated to receive this from me...*Ameen*!!

Mama's boy!

Album updated wif more of Amsyar's pictures for your viewing pleasure...

Chota Badmaash (Li'l Rascal) has been up to no gd...getting cranky @ nite this whole of his 2nd wk...wonder wat his problem is!  Worst part is we juz dunno wat he wants us to do for him!!  Very manja, wanna be hugged tightly close to your chest, then he'll sleep!  Mom says he's exactly what his Mama was when she was born!!!  Not juz carbon copy of looks ...

...he's taken after her character also!!!  Gd luck MOM!!

Baby's 1st weekend

This wkend was our 1st wkend wif Amsyar's presence.  Our lives have changed having him arnd.  I cant watch TV outside wif loud vol (Mom tells me to lower it down coz Amsyar's such kaypoh, he reacts to even the slightest talking sound!).  I cant watch TV peacefully, he keeps wanting 2b patted to sleep, the moment I remove my hand, within 5 mins, he'll move & threatens to cry!!  Badmaash!  When I whisper to him to quit his naughty acting, he'll flash his oh-so-cute dimples!!

During his 1st two days here, he didnt sleep & stayed awake from 1-5am.  Haha...serves Nani right!!  On his 3rd nite, I decided this cant go on...my Mom needs her beauty sleep too or she'll be exhausted...so I whispered sweet-nothings in Amsyar's ears, coaxing him 2b a gd boy & let Nani-ma sleep bla bla bla... He listened (now that's like Maasi's clever boy!!)...he changed his sleeping pattern.  He wakes up once or twice for milk & Mom had no problem putting him back to sleep.  The nxt few days were hunky dory.  Until wee hrs of Fri morning when he started throwing tantrums...wailing so loudly @ 2.45am that even Mamu & Maasi came out of the room to see what's wrong wif him!  Poor Maasi, she juz managed to sleep @ 2am coaxing Amsyar to sleep!!  When Mom bathed him on Fri morning, his umbilical cord finally came off.  Alhamdulillah...after 9 days...I can finally carry & cradle him w/o worrying that he'll be in pain if that huge plastic clip on his umbilical cord is pressed against him stomach.  Only after having him did I realise that there's this huge clip dangling on a baby's umbilical cord...makes me wonder if I've ever caused any pain to all the newborn I've ever cradled when I visit them during their 1st week!

1st wkend wif Amsyar, Sat: Woke up early to bring him to Poly for his 4th neonatal check-up.  Heartbreaking to hear him scream when his tiny li'l feet gets pricked.  This boy na, he just refuses to drink plain water.  Very naughty.  When it comes to milk, he drinks properly, but when he realise that he's being fed plain water, he refuses to open his mouth, blocking it wif his gums.  When we manage to put it in, he'll collect the water & not swallow the water & then he'll start his act...coughing la, let the water flow out la...when we scold him, he'll flash his dimples!!  Urrrgghh!!  I wish he'd understand that the plain water is gd for him...to cure his jaundice & prevent him from being pricked every other day!!  He has to go for his 5th blood test on Mon which is his 12th day.  If his jaundice is still not below 100 (today is 192) @ 14 days, Dr will have to do more tests on him!!  Other than his Dr's visit...Amsyar's been a well-behaved boy.  It's been a wonderful Sat, finally got time to cradle & play wif him!!

1st wkend wif Amsyar, Sun: Woke up early as mentioned in my earlier post.  Amidst my blogging, I helped Mom in the kitchen & swept the hse.  Mom was telling me that @ 3am, Sis & BIL had to knock her room for help coz Amsyar was throwing tantrums & refused to stop crying.  Mom said it was such a cute sight, she heard knocks on the door, jumped off the bed & opened the door, to find her daughter, son-in-law & their baby in front of her, looking like they've been chased out of their hse & begging for help!!  Hahaha...Mom managed to put him to sleep after a long time...but he started his tantrums agn @ 4.30am till Mom had to wake Dad up to help cradle & silence him while Mom makes his milk.  Dad is so gd @ cradling & swinging a baby to sleep...he's being a pro @ it since we were small. 

After zuhur & lunch, I cradled Amsyar who was in play-mode.  Star Plus was showing Abhishek's BLUFFMASTER...so I introduced him to his would-be-uncle, much to Sis giving me a "podi!" when she heard that...hehe.  Danced wif him for a while (he enjoys it!) till he got sleepy in my arms, so I handed him to Mom who then wrapped him (sob sob, I cant bear to see babies being wrapped!) & pat him to sleep.  I continued watching Bluffmaster in my room...but my eyes cld hardly open...it started storming arnd 3pm, nice weather to sleep...so I dozed off.  At 4.45pm, I heard Amsyar wailing & some chaos outside...he just refused to shut up...so bad his tantrums was that after Mom bathed him, Dad had to help put on his booties!!  I was having a slight headache so I cldnt even be bothered to go out.  I continued sleeping till 6pm.

He was sleeping peacefully till 6.45pm when he woke up & starts wailing non-stop agn.  It's heartbreaking to see him like that coz it's so not him.  Think he's having colic.  Today's been a loonggg day...having to tolerate his wails...yet keeping our cool!  To a pt, I think Sis just cant bear to see her son like that...she started crying.  She's very sensitive after delivery.  Post-natal blues I guess.  I pacified her not to cry & stress her mind...it's pretty normal for babies; they get colic, have mood-swings & cry non-stop...they'll be ok in no time...no need to worry too much.  As it is, she's been very upset that Amsyar's not drinking enough plain water & thus his jaundice is not clearing (altho it's showing a healthy downhill trend) thus he has to be pricked every other day to monitor his jaundice level!!  Now, he's wailing non-stop & she wish she knew what's bothering him!

I'm now in my room peacefully watching 1 of my favourite Madhuri-Shahrukh movie - DIL TO PAGAL HAI...actually I've got masque on my face, so I'm not abt to give Amsyar a shock! 

It hasnt been ez to type this post wif a straight face w/o any expressions!!!

What tree did you fall from?

Oookaayyy...this is a wee bit too scary coz it's too accurate to be true!

A hillarious commentary on KANK

I was just surfing the web to check out the box-office ratings for KANK out of curiousity.  Aap Ki Khatir which released 1 wk after KANK is already classified as "RUNNING SUCCESSFULLY ALL OVER" within 10 days of its release...how come I don't see the same classification for KANK after almost 1 mth?!?!  So yeah...as I was surfing, I landed on the commentary below.  Had a great time reading it...well-written, hillariously full of intentional puns!

Read on...Njoy!!

A good attempt flawed beyond belief, 13 August 2006

Author: Shashi Krishna

Storyline # 1 - Dev Saran (SRK) is a football champ who breaks his leg in a freak car accident and retains a permanent limp. He is married to Rhea (Zinta) and has a child. His insecurity lies in the fact that he could not achieve what he wanted to in life. But what makes it worse is the fact that he seems to hate that his wife, on the other hand, is the 'man of the house' while he lives off her. This makes him terminally ill with 'male chauvinism syndrome' as it were as he huffs and puffs his way across this 3.5 hour debacle.

Cut to storyline # 2. Maya (Rani) a humble school teacher is married to Rishi (Abhishek) who is a party planner in NYC and a childhood friend of Maya. Maya is shown as someone incapable of having children and a cleanliness freak.

Both marriages are on the rocks thanks to inexplicably unreasonable characters Dev and Maya. Dev is always mad about one thing or another without a break. I was wondering why Rhea stuck it out with as long as she did. On the other hand we have Mrs.Weepy-Eye Maya who never really explains why it is she cant satisfy her honest husband's genuine needs. If he requires a little passion in bed then she would rather 'discuss' it than do anything more. Needless to say the man is patient and puts up with this borderline insane woman.

Then we have Rishi's Playboy dad Sam (Amitabh) who is waltzing around with girls a quarter his age while mouthing sentimental stuff about his dead wife. Yawn! When Dev and Maya meet the first time, being the strangers that they are, Dev actually manages to have a profound conversation with this complete stranger with questions like "Do you love him?" Seems like Johar was so eager to let them get used to each other from the very first frame and realism apparently doesn't matter anymore. A few meaningless lines later off goes Maya into her bridal suite and off goes Dev into a passing car.

4 years pass by. Don't worry. That means nothing.

Takes one to meet and understand one indeed. Dev and Maya meet up again due to some random accident and voila! We have the two couples exchanging greetings with each other. When they both "realize" that they are in the same boat they decide to help each other out with some ridiculous tomfoolery around beautiful NYC. You will have to see these scenes to hate them.

A few songs and hip shakes later we have the couple checking into a suite somewhere as they have just realized that "Hey! We don't need to fix our marriages. Lets fix each other up with one another!' while poor old Abhishek and good old Zinta are gyrating in a night club somewhere oblivious of where exactly the "party is that night".

KANK is about relationships outside marriage and what happens if one were to say 'meet their soul mate' after marriage. Very noble indeed. But the flaw is not with the question but with the answers Johar Inc. provides. Neither are they reasonable nor believable as 3.5 valuable hours of our finite lives are exhausted in this meaningless merry-go-round of 'relationships'.

Performances hands down belong to the Bachchans. If you thought you had seen the last of Big B then you better watch out. Despite being borderline vulgar the legend pulls off an amazingly new and refreshing role of a Casanova. In the same breathe there is his kiddo Abhishek. In the entire cast he seemed the only dude who had any honesty in his performance. If there is anyone to benefit from this Titanic of a movie then that is Abhishek. Rani…hang on. I forget when it was she acted in the movie between all that crying! Good lord woman! Have some integrity for crying out loud! Preity is OK in her very reserved appearance although I felt more sympathetic for her and Abhishek towards the end than these 'love birds'.

I kept SRK for a different paragraph for a couple of reasons. This man needs to start rethinking doing movies for Johar. He has hammed like you have never seen before. If in Kal Ho Na Ho he wouldn't die…then in KANK he doesn't live. Not for one minute. His loud and over the top acting makes me wonder if he indeed was the man who made a classic like Swades. It's a shame his choices have gone downhill again.

Music is truly over rated since it sounds like a lot of tunes you have already heard before. Editing and camera work is more on NYC rather than scenes. How many times will we get to see NYC, Mr. Johar? Some of us live there you know.

All said and done KANK is a good attempt gone very wrong. My advise – skip it and save yourselves a few hours of your mental and physical health.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 in which 2 points for the Bachchans and half a point for the unconventional story.

Guys & older women...

Amrita Singh: 9 Feb 1958; Saif Ali Khan: 16 Aug 1970 (12yrs younger...he muz've been outta his mind!!??)

Kareena Kapoor: 21 Sep 1980; Shahid Kapur: 25 Feb 1981 (1 yr...ok la...5mths younger)

Aishwarya Rai: 1 Nov 1973; Vivek Oberoi: 3 Sep 1976 (3yrs younger)

Aishwarya Rai: 1 Nov 1973; AB Jnr: 5 Feb 1976 (history repeats...3yrs younger...for illustration purpose only...not that I njoy putting his name nxt to this bitch!)

Abhishek...Abhishek...u & I wld've made a perfect couple u know...but u choose that woman who's 3 yrs older than u!! Y? Y? Y? 

If u're wondering what this post is all abt...it's all coz I was woken up @ 9.30am on my SUNDAY to babysit coz Mom's going to the market & Dad's gone to wash the car & Sis is having her post-delivery-massage!!!  I'm bored looking at a sleeping baby, so b4 I get tempted to wake Amsyar up to play wif him...I'm sitting here taking note of the trend of guys marrying older women.  I've always been against the idea...I dunno why...Ok, once upon a time, I was adamant that my man has to be abt 3-5yrs older than me, going by the theory that since female mature (mentally) faster than male by 5 yrs, if the guy is the same age of me, he's actually 5yrs younger in mentality.  Thus, if he's at least 5yrs older, he'll be of the same mentality-age as me.  Now, I've been with men 10yrs older (mentally 2 yrs older than me rite?!?)...I also know guys 2yrs younger than me...if I put them together, the younger one is more mature than the older one!!  So to hell with that stupid theory.  It's all in the man himself.  In fact, recently, I had a very interesting conversation wif my quibbling-buddy Maslin while we were strolling @ East Coast re. this trend.

But still...I'm against the idea...y??  Mayb coz my parents are orthodox & will nvr agree to us marrying younger guys...I wonder if it'd be a different story if we didn't have a younger bro eh!?  Wld they hav been more receptive to the idea?!

I see a lot of men dating/marrying older women these days, age gap ranging from 1yr to 5yrs!  I take my hats off to these couples!  I don't think it's the women who goes for younger guys (unless I'm wrong!), but I think it's the guys who are more receptive to the idea of dating/marrying older women. 

Thus, it amazes me how guys are more receptive to the idea of dating/marrying an older women than women dating/marrying younger guys!!  The scariest star-couple illustration is Saif & Amrita.  They seemed alright...but wif stardom today, even Saif has strayed for a younger (than Amrita) woman...giving excuses like "I love my wife...but I'm not in love wif her" (Blardy hell!!).

On a separate note, since the last few yrs, I seem to attract younger men!!  The older men are too immature mentally & find me too mature for my age!  It's been scaring the shit outta me if God cld've fated me for a younger guy!  Afterall, I always end up getting what I feared most!

2nd chance

Met "Sunshine" @ T2 transit for a quick hug.  She was on transit from her honeymoon waiting to board a flight.  I've not talked much abt "Sunshine" here...so I dont quite know how to start.  Errmmm...not abt too reveal too much, but "Sunshine" wasn't having a wonderful life since the last 3-4yrs.  Let's put it as she lost the man she loved most & "hell" trailed her every step.  At that time she was quite sure that was the end of her world...li'l that she know God had other plans for her.  To re-build her crumbled life.

When I saw how blissful she looked that day...I realised she's one lucky person on earth 2b blessed wif a 2nd chance in life...and in love.  Sooner or later, she's bound to read this, so I want her to know that I pray for her for a blissful married life ahead...& look forward to her having babies hoping she'd be able to adopt the 2 names (1 boy & 1 gal) I've chosen for her future kids.  Hehehe.

And to those who have loved & lost...dont give up on love, dont despise your destiny...coz u may not know, God cld've made btr plans for u!!

Aao sunao pyar ki ek kahani...

There's juz 1 thing that wil make me stay put home even if I've to go out - HINDI MUSIC UNDER THE VOID DECK!  Whenever I see tents being put up under the void-deck, signaling a wedding event over the weekend, the 1st thing I look out for is the people gathering under the void deck.  If not typical malay looking, means there's a chance of hindi entertainment for me. 

When I came back home on Fri & even yest'day, I see only Malay makciks gathering under the block.  So I thought "Oh no, it's gonna be a dangdut & dondang sayang wkend...so boring!". 

Mom went out to the hospital arnd 11am while I was bz surfing net on URIC ACID.  I tol Mom even if Dr wanna detain Sis, insist on taking her back coz if there's no medicinal cure to reduce her uric acid, we can monitor her diet @ home & help her reduce it ourselves "THANK U V MUCH!".  She left, I helped Dad do some transfering on his fone.  While Dad swept his room, I decided to take my bath.  The moment I stepped out of my room...I heard a familiar music "Neele neele ambar par, chand jab aaye..." (Kalaakar).

Woeeee...HINDI MUSIC seh!!!  Kewl!!  And...mmmm...I can spell hundreds of well-fried chicken seeping thru' my kitchen window!!!  Yarmeee!!  While I was bathing, I hear "Aankhen Bandh Karke..." (Aitraaz)... Urrrgghhh...no other songs is it (hate Kareena!)?!?!

When I started writing this, "Aao sunao pyar ki ek kahani.." (Krissh) was playing...ahaa...that explains the title rite!??!  And u thot I had some love story to tell!! They juz finished "Chand sifarish..." (Fanaa).  Wonder if Maslin is enjoying the music from the other end (her block, adjacent to mine).  Free hindi entertainment.  Oh, this really reminds me of Bollywood Masti...except I'll be dancing alone!!

Ok...I'm getting hungry...gonna bedal my lunch 1st...coz once Mom comes back wif Amsyar (Insyallah)...I'm gonna be v. bz (MISSION: ATTACK AMSYAR!!)...Heehee.

At the rate Amsyar's Nani makes me click & video him...

My fone will be full b4 he turns 1 mth!!  I can open a whole gallery of him in my fone!!  Anyways, u can check out his to-date development in here!

Today I spent my whole Saturday keeping Sis company @ KKH.  Sis has been hopeful that she'll be discharged yesterday.  When I visited her on Thurs nite after she gave birth, I asked if the Dr has said when she can be discharged & she said "Dr say tomoro can go back oredi".  That's what she always say!!  Everytime she's in hospital & I ask when she can be discharged, she'll pandai2 say tomoro!.  She wasn't discharged anyways!!  Granny & aunts visited her yesterday...she's v. confident she'll be discharged today.  Even told Mom to come wif me v early in the morning so the moment Dr say "can discharge"...she can immediately go home, no need to wait for her hubby who's always late! 

Today, Amsyar's been discharged from Special Care Nursery...he's doing fine Alhamdulillah.  Left home almost 12 noon & reached there abt 12-ish.  Juz as we were reaching, BIL called Mom's hp, but learning that we've reached, he said "Ok, we'll talk upstairs".  When we reached the room, Sis wasn't in...so BIL started his story-telling to Mom that she's being detained coz her uric acid level is even higher than yest'day...bla bla bla.  I tot Sis was being checked up by the Dr.  BIL's very talkative, so I cldn't be bothered to listen & thus told Mom I'm going out to cut my finger nails @ the lobby (been so bz I've no time to trim my nails!).  When I came back 10mins later, Sis was sitting in the room...so I exclaimed "Eh, dah balik!? So fast?".  Mom started telling me Sis still can't go back today & that her uric acid is higher than yest'day, bla bla bla...& all of a sudden Sis broke down!!  That gave me a shock...coz my whole life I've nvr seen Sis break down!  Well, I've seen her cry & sob & all...but bursting in tears like that...NEVER!!!  She's always been the strong one.  So I was quite taken aback.  I consoled her asking why she's crying & telling her not to feel bad abt it, it's juz a matter of few more days & she'll be out in no time.  I think she's quite bored already...been stuck in there since last Fri (9 days!!).  I feel sad for her coz uric acid is something that there's no reason why it's high & no immediate remedy.  I think what makes her even more fed up is the baby can go home.  Usually it's the baby who gets detained (due to jaundice) & the mother can go back within 2 days after normal delivery, but that doesn't seem 2b the case for her.  She cried alright...while consoling her, I teared...seeing I teared, Mom teared!! Haha...chain of crybabies...BIL probably tot this crying disease muz be heredity!!!!

We immediately decided we shall not take home the baby so as not to make Sis sadder than she already is.  While we hope & pray she'll be discharged tomorrow (Sunday), if Allah wills otherwise, Mom will have no choice but to take the baby home...coz the longer he stays there, the more prone he is to jaundice!!! He's beginning to show a lil sign of it...so we don't wanna risk him being detained!!!  Mom wanna get him out of there asap & clear him of the risk of developing jaundice.

BIL went home arnd 2pm & after Mom & I solat (I was so stupid, I actually asked Sis "Shld I fold the telekong or u're praying too?", they had a gd laugh @ me!! 4got la!!), we fulfilled Sis' wish & brought her down for a stroll in the park (w/o BIL's knowledge) to cheer her up...get a breathe of fresh air...Mom wanted to sun Amsyar also...I was bz taking video & snapping pics...after abt 15-20mins, it started to drizzle so we headed back in.  Window-shopped & then bought hot milo from 7-11 for Dad who happened to arrive from work & bumped into us downstairs.  He went upstairs to freshen up & wait for us in the room while we carry on wif our jalan-jalan.  By then, I suddenly started having migraine.  Sat in the room while Dad read newspapers & Sis feed a hungry Amsyar.  After that, Dad carried Amsyar in his arms for the 1st time (come to think of it, I've yet to carry him in my arms!) while I lie down on Sis bed like a prawn trying to sleep the migraine off.  By 5-ish, I told Mom I wanna make a move as I can't tahan the migraine already...so we told Sis & Amsyar to SLEEP!!  Made Dad drove...come home, eat panadol extra & for the 1st time...I actually slept after eating panadol extra (usually panadol extra keeps me awake)!!  Woke up arnd 8-ish...feeling btr, eat my dinner, watch some TV & spent the rest of my Saturday in front of my PC!

PS:- To all cheechers reading this...HAPPY CHEECHERS DAY!!

Presenting the new addition to my family

Wif the blessings of Allah SWT, this li'l chap finally made his entry into our household (forced to come out 3wks earlier, on 31 Aug 2006 @ 0830hrs)!!  Oh...he shares the same b'day as Richard Gere, btw, but Sis says "my baby is cuter than Richard Gere!!"

            

Welcome to da big bad nasty world, "Muhammad Amsyar" (name pending evaluation & may subject to change)!  Come out only, he used his Mommy's hp to sms his aunt "Hello Maasi :-)"  Whoooaaa...Gen-Y baby...well done!!

Surprise surprise?!?!  Yea, I know I know...not even once did I mention abt him rite?!?!  That's coz I was protecting him (and his parents) from evil eyes.  Believe me, even at home, not even once did I show any happiness or excitement, or discuss the issue.  No, it's not that I'm not happy for Sis, but my happiness is always short-lived...so no way was I gonna let my ill-luck be casted upon my family's happiness.  My Sis, for being a wonderful human being (unlike me!) surely deserves this happiness & I wasn't abt to shatter her long-awaited dream by opening my mouth or expressing my happiness (knowing that it's always shortlived).

Anyways, now everything's Alhamdulillah (Insyallah!).  Sis, who's a big time coward, made it thru' normal delivery (induced), w/o the help of epidural & made us all proud!  Mom gav her an ultimatum "U wanna experience the joy of motherhood, give birth naturally, if u dowan to endure the pain, fine, go get a Caesarian!".  Immediately after delivery, not expecting Mom 2b arnd & pleasantly surprised 2c her outside the labour ward, she thanked Mom for that ultimatum which made her decide to endure the pain!  I was in touch wif her via sms & knowing both Sis & baby (2.76kg) were doing alright altho' baby is in Special Care Nursery, I went on to work as per normal...planning 2 giv Sis a visit after work.  When Mom tol me that the Nursery's visiting hrs is 6-8pm, I tol her I'll make it b4 8pm, but even if I dun, it's ok if I dun see the baby...afterall, I'm going 2 visit Sis...can always c the baby another day! 

As usual, made commitment rite...so had 2 get delayed @ work!  On top of it, my fuel is almost E(mpty) so had to go top-up petrol 1st b4 dashing to KKH.  Drove like a maniac & made it in time @ 7.50pm where Mom hurried me in (Dad arrived from work juz b4 I did)...she almost thought I wasn't gonna make it 2c my nephew today!!  Seeing both new mommy & baby doing pretty alright, Mom-Dad-I made a move 45mins later.

Initially, Sis was sad to learn of the gender of her baby (eventually, she learnt to accept)...Sis wanted so much for me to share her joy & was desperately hoping for a girl (as I don't like boys!) so she can be the apple of my eyes...She even went arnd saying she prays day & nite that her baby will come out to look like Abhishek (as tho that's even remotely possible!!)...but what's impt for me when it comes to her is not the gender of her baby, but the GIFT Allah has bestowed upon her...afterall, what btr gift can she ask for her 5th wedding anniversary...after tolerating wagging tongues for 5yrs?!

So...Happy 5th Anniversary to her, this coming 8th Sep, & I hope wif the arrival of this new responsibility, she'll change 2b more mature, independent & responsible!!!  Ameeen!

PS:- Bro muz b elated he finally has a team-member...been the only boy for 24yrs, now he has a supporter (A Dog baby like him!).  In fact, baby is already his Mamu's supporter since inside the womb...talk bad abt his Dad for all he cares, but talk bad abt his Mamu & he starts kicking in protest!!  Mamu ki chamche...hmmppphhh!  It's ok, I'm happy I didn't get a niece, lest I'll no longer be the youngest PRINCESS @ home!!
