Imagine summer's only touching Faroe Island

Well, sis since you have difficulty reading my small font. I'll use normal font just for your sake. But do know that my favourite are small fonts. I do this for you and only for you.

Talking about summer. I am still waiting for a nice day for me to go out in the garden doing barbeque. The weather has been crazy this year. Even though the sun shines, it is 3 degree Celsius out there. Weird huh?? Danial's is going on school holiday soon and if there is no "BBQ" day, it is going to be tough handling him only inside the house for about 6-8weeks. Lucky I have stuðul for that even though there's going to be a holiday from the stuðul too at some point in the month. There's so much to do in the garden. I don't know what to call this year's summer actually. It's been like a long winter. It's so cold and windy. Weatherman even predict snow on some days.
I am keeping myself occupied these days with 3 things.
First is the cross-stitching I am doing. I have completed the birth details for my youngest son and now starting on a wedding gift for my friend's wedding. It's a wedding poem/prayer by Jane wells. Got to figure out what design I'll put when I have finish the lettering. As I have 3 very small children, I made it simple and small so I can finish it in due time. I also have another cross-stitching project on hold since 3years ago. That is the children's verses which is in faroese. I've been meaning to translate it into english but there's no faroese who is good enough in english so far who can help me translate it into english for me so I might have to do it in faroese in the end.
Second thing that I am occupied with is the painting of my dollhouse. I have finished painting the roof and the two dormer window. I have to decide next on the colour. Still procrastinating on it. Besides, I still need to buy a paint roller you see.
The third thing I am busy with is ofcourse everything. I try to catch up on the last Big Brother. I really like this year's BB. I try to knit in between and care for my family too.

Big Brother Season once again

Well, the big brother season has started now. I love the contestant this year. Once again Big Brother UK has done a splendid job in mixing the contestant. Imagine 6 heterosexual lady in a house with only 3 heterosexuals man and 2 gay male and well, the last contestant who claim he's a Muslim but eat pork, drink alcohol, love casual sex and wears only stilettos and flowy dresses (he claim he is not gay at all!). I forgot about one from the hood. He's not gay but he's too much for me. With a name like that. Science...what kind of name is that?? and a mouth that is so loud and never shuts. Too bad though I don't have time to spare for big brother this year. Last 2 years I can't follow either bcoz too many trips to the hospital in denmark for Dánial's treatment and now I am too busy with my hobbies and children.
I am going to bring Hadi Johan to the dentist clinic tomorrow for the talk that all parents get when their child turn 6months. We'd watch a video and then get a free toothbrush and we have to complete a form on his teething info. Unfortunately for Hadi Johan, he still has not got any yet. I remember Danial and Jana Maria got their first tooth when they were a week short of 4months. Well, every child is different. I totally agree with that. My youngest son is so so so cute and lovable and wonderful and "easy" just like a tv baby. It wasn't like this with the other 2. Dánial was the wildest, Jana Maria was a little bit tamer but still wild. Hadi Johan is very tame.I went out with dánial today in our garden. He love being outside playing in the sand and feeling the grass. He still like the slide that I bought when he was 2years old. Though it is too small for him now. I was so happy today to see him able to manouevre himself outside on his own. He was afraid when he realised that he was alone awhile. That's when I have to check on Hadi Johan inside the house and Jana Maria somewhere running off with her cousin Janita. They are inseparable those two. They cried when it was time to split for bedtime.

How do I see life?

Content
Life is good and bad. You know it can never be
perfect and that it never have been, and you're
fine with that. You still feel it's important
to live life since it can end any day and not
sulk because of some little failure in life.
You are often a happy person, still you don't
laugh all the time. You have a somewhat calm
aura and most people feel comfortable around
you.

Trying to figure out tagging anyone? join in

What on earth is tagging? My sister wrote something about it's my turn and Maggie's and Elaine's turn to tag now. I don't know but I'll try. But how to try if I only have her and Elaine on my list? Don't know anybody really and Maggie don't have a blogsite here.

If I could be a musician . . .
  • I would make sure I sing my own song too bcoz I would be the best singer and the best songwriter
If I could be a doctor . . .
  • I'd rather be a nurse like myself bcoz I am better than them.Without nurses, doctors are handicapped bcoz we are their eyes and ears actually!
If I could be a painter . . .
  • I'll paint a thousand words to describe greed of the rich who use money in vain and not helping those in need in the "God forsaken land".
If I could be a gardener . . .
  • I'll make sure all my flowers grow ofcourse. Currently, they are dead. Only my lillies are still thriving. Must get my hubby to be more active since I cannot garden since 2001.
If I could be a missionary . . .
  • Always wanted to do missionary work since I was 16. Once my children are grown-up and don't need me, if I have the strength and money, I will go for it.
If I could be a chef . . .

Three men share a hotel room for $30 and each pays $10. Manager realizes it should only be $25 so gives $5 to bellboy who only gives one back to each of the three men and pockets two. Each man thinks he paid $9, which comes to $27 for all three, plus the $2 the bellboy kept totals $29. So where's the missing dollar from the original $30?
This is an age-old puzzle that never fails to confuse some people. I think it's due to the wording and that people are just used to adding things up without thinking of what the answer means, and then 29 is so close to 30 you think you just made a small mistake somewhere. In fact, when adding the men's cost for the room and getting 27, you should subtract the bellboy's 2 to get 25 -- the price of the room. If you want to know where the $30 went, you add up $25 to the manager, $1 to each of the three roomers, and $2 to the bellboy.

Danial's x'mas gift to us Posted by Hello

half year old boy

26/05/2005@12noon Posted by Hello


This is taken today as Hadi Johan is exactly 6 months. You see, I took a picture of my children when they were 6 months and hang it up in a frame next to their cross-stitch that I made with their birth details all framed up! Danial was light blue, Jana Maria was pink and Hadi Johan was actually green. I just changed his shirt as he stained them after feeding his carrot sauce. The cross-stitch designs are the same colours as their shirt too.

ticker?

Well, a rainy day again today! I plan to get some sleep actually as didn't have neough yesterday. In fact, Ihave not slept at all. You see, I stayed up to watch Big Brother until 2am. My kids sleep at 9pm last night. My hubby woke me up at 3am as Hadi Johan was hungry. That's when my hubby come home from work anyway. But 15mins after that, Danial woke up and remain up till 6am and up again at 7am. So I am very tired and sleepy.

Not sure if I should attempt any painting today of my dollhouse. What if I make a mistake?
Anyway,here's something I tried. it may be a mistake but who cares.

What I did today

I am so sleepy by the time I switch on the computer to make this entry. I just finished cross-stitching just one word "Eitt" on a new cross-stitch project when I realised that I forgot about the extra edging I plan for the borders and other designs. SO I dropped it and decide to go to bed but realised I have not made an entry today so here I am.

I went out to the Doctor today for VE and Pap smear, must remember to call her office in 3weeks time to ask about results. After that I walk to SMS and waited for my Indonesian friend Kristina to come. We planned to go out walking today as the sun was shining then. I waited for her for about 30mins so ended up buying children's books. I ask for it to be gift wrapped so I have a July birthday present ready for Jana Maria from her siblings! Then I bought "The English Roses" by Madonna in english. They had only one so lucky me. Jana Maria always prefer me reading in English to her rather than in Faroese. Wonder why.

I had a good time walking today but I think I have a slight cold now. You see, it get pretty windy and cold at 2pm today so I might have catch a bit of a cold as I wasn't clothed properly. Only a fleece jacket instead of a sweater and scarf and my thick woolen coat.
ZzZz.....going to sleep now. bye sis.

External base painting

almost there? Posted by Hello

As you can see here, I have finished the base coat. I tried the roof colour but it still need a third coating from the look of it. I still have a lot to do. The front panel has not been painted at all. I need to spray paint the doors and windows and install it on the front panel after I paint it with the actual coat. I still have not attached or even paint the attic windows and the room divider. This is just a gross finished that you see here. I can't wait to get back to it when I am not tired.

My mother

my mother Posted by Hello
Yes this is my mother. She look totally different from the last time I see her which was almost 6 years ago. She didn't have all those black spots on her legs and her hair were all black then, don't look as sick in that picture. I guess my father's death in 2000 really deteriorate her health. My father had an untimely massive myocardial infarction while on his trip in India. So he is buried in India.

Mothergroup meeting

Today was the final meeting we had to go to meet with the "heilsusýstir" (meaning healthnurse). From today onwards, we are on our own. We will establish when and whose house we will meet at next but so far nobody has invite. I did speak up that I will call everyone as Hadi Johan is the oldest in our group so someone has to start or we'll get nowhere. It started at 9.30am and ended at 12.30noon today!
We are down to 5 now that someone in our group has asked to be placed in another group. She claim that this group is not active and no invites has been sent out. Precisely!!! Why didn't she send any invite or open her mouth to start at all instead of complaining behind our back?? If she doesn't invite, does she think the other group will want her in theirs then?? A word of advice, you should have tried before you give up not trying and straight to baseless complain.

I went to vivi's "smirjabreyð" shop today and bought pasta salad and quiche. After that I went home to prepare Hadi Johan to sleep outside in his pram and we could go shopping together but I end up painting the dollhouse instead. When I had finished and was ready to go, Hadi Johan had woken up so plan aborted again. I'm too sleepy anyway. Poor sleep last night.

I am looking forward to 3rd June. That's when Una will pick Danial for his weekend trip to the "umlætting famili". He is so dependant on me now. He sleep where I sleep, he sit where I sit and he wait outside the toilet when I am using the toilet. At one point I had to sing to let him know that I am in the room.
If it is quiet, he will bolt for the door looking for me frantically even though I am actually in the same room with him. He get very alert especially when the night "stuðul" come to work. He quickly rise up and hold my hand and refuse to stay with the "stuðul" at all. I wonder what is wrong. He didn't mind her before but now it's as if he is afraid to be with her. The "stuðul" is actually a nice young lady who loves children but she is a bit "wicked" in her own way so maybe Danial is able to sense that.

Sunday, May 22, 2005




As you can see, I don't have big target. that's because I am taking things easy. I want to gradually go down and not lose it in such a hurry only tó put it back on again. I'll work hard on it. It i spretty easy for me actually. I have tried it before after the birth of my daughter and now it's the second time I willl do it after my youngest son. Skip all sugar, 30g fat per day. lots of greens and some fruits. only a slice of bread allowed...................no way i can do that but i modify it.hehehehe

Greece is the face of Europe music this year

Wow, what a tough decision it was for me last night. I am talking about the eurovision song contest!
There were so many that I like so much but ofcourse Greece deserve to win too. It's just that it was not a surprise bcoz everybody has been saying that all month you see. I like the entry from Switzerland, Denmark and Latvia best. Actually from Serbia&Montenegro and Bosnia&Herzegovina too and oh my, the list goes on. Moldova even has a granny beating a big drum on stage and dancing to the music! Imagine that. This year there are so many things happening on stage which you never thought would. And Norway entry was also good and so is Sweden. I like the performance from Turkey too. I think they were very good. Maybe because I like that type of music. Anyway, it's been a hectic week for me actually. Don't really have time to update on my blogger site here and at livejournal. At least I have bought a lock for the fridge downstairs and that is why I have time to site here for 5mins to type frantically now about stuffs and will be running off again to fix sunday lunch and keep my kids from any harm...hehehe. I fell asleep with my cross-stitch in hand last night! Almost finishing now. Planning to send for framing tomorrow.

dollhouse project on the way

Bedtime. I actually started painting my dollhouse today. I paint it with the grundmaling that I bought in a shop called 2X3 here in torshavn. Spent quite a lot today on stuffs for building this house. Hope it is enough to cover the whole exterior. I still need to figure out what colour shall I use for the interior. I need to order the lighting sets though so I can install lights in my dollhouse.

just another day

Good morning! It is a nice day for me today even though it is raining and windy and cold! That's because Danial slept most of the night even though not throughout. At least I got the much needed rest and sleep you see. We woke up at 7am and get ready for breakfast and daycare. Then it was time to wake daddy up to drive them to the daycare. Ofcourse Jana Maria had to go down to visit her current bestfriend first which is her cousin Janita. Janita has turned 3 on 7th May. They both play so well together. Why, it was yesterday when Janita phone us in the kitchen from her kitchen downstairs to ask me if Jana Maria can come down to visit her and play for a while before their bedtime. That was so cute I think.

Last thing Jana Maria said before she fell asleep last night was "mamma kan eg spæla við Nita?" so I just said "ímorgin darling, tí tú má sova nu ella tú orka ikki spæla ímorgin við henni.eisini nú er songartíð hja tær".
The first thing she said when she wake up today is also "mamma kan eg spæla við Nita í dag?". I think that's the only thing on her mind most of the time. Anyway, I must go out and buy some paint and glue and materials for my dollhouse now.

Project due date 20th July

Springwood Posted by Hello
This is the model of house that I bought and wll be starting on. Ofcourse it will not look like this when I am finished. I will paint it in a different colour and do not have the resources to use here. Tried asking the Pandora Hobby shop here(Art and Craft shop) but they do not have it either. I can't afford to import into the country so I am afraid it will look kinda bland when I am finished with it. Well, I have to start on it first which I haven't. Just imagine this house with no basement, no decorations, not the same colour and just like MDF. then you get the picture. This is from the Dollhouse Emporium but I bought it from Norway. Don't ask me what it cost.

post-natal class

"fimmleik skeið fyri mamman og barnið í ápril 05" Posted by Hello
This picture was taken 2 times actually as on the first take, about 7 mothers weren't in the picture. The photographer actually took the last 7 (on the left, front, sitting and standing included) at a later time and then paste it and created this picture. I enjoyed going to this afterbirth class. Only problem was my hypermobility. Doesn't allow me much to do with the aerobics that were taught.
This class is conducted by a physiotherapist and held in the háskulin

Star Wars

Today we went to watch "Star Wars" in the cinema. Hadi Johan, Danial, Hanus and I had the theatre all for ourselves. We had ice-creams and pop-corn and it was great. What was so great was that we get to do things together as a family. That is why I like it. It's been a long time since we watch movie together. The plan was to watch it with my husband. Hadi Johan would be there too ofcourse. Danial is usually with the stuðul but today she is sick so he came with us.

Today I read someone's blog and found it interesting probably bcoz I am still quite new to this and not sure how to go about it. Why not you check it out for yourself. It's got nothing to do with cross-stitching though. Only foreign student studying in Sarawak with lots of friends.

Danial just fall asleep 5mins ago, Hadi Johan went to sleep about 10mins ago and Jana Maria has went off with Hanus to watch HB play against B36. She is going to cheer Allan Mørkore just bcoz he is working at the daycare that she goes to and she likes him. Hanus ask her not to cheer for Allan because he is playing on the "wrong team".

My 3rd sister

Zohrah Begum is my 3rd sister. She loves cross-stitching now. She's so into them that she is going to invest in a floor stand with frame holder and the lot. I remember once when she was so into dolls. Her whole bed was filled with dolls. Dolls of all kind and when she come home from school. The first thing she did was straight to our room, a pair of scissors in her hand and went on to give those dolls some new hairdo. Each day, the dolls get a new haircut until there are no hair left to cut or too short. Then she would have to get some new dolls. That was then and this is now. She's into cross-stitching now. Since I lived here in the Faroe Islands, she has been communicating with me constantly. As for my younger sis, she's busy working day and night and has no access to internet so got to wait for a long time for "snail" mail. My older sis, she send email. She really like to send "warning" emails mostly. Things like, "beware of this shoe, it has pig lining", "this chocolate has worms in them", or "E470.E....etc not approved by MUIS" and other stuff.......bless her heart!
I also have good friends who I can count on to keep me update on things back in CCU or the Singapore trends from time to time.
I miss my friends and my way of living no doubt but I would never give anything to change the way I am living here right now. update later, JM attacking HJ. :-o

Josie's Dollz Posted by Hello


I wonder what I was thinking when I was trying this out?? Anyway, this is from a cool website called Josie's Dollz. check it out for yourself. I really like it, just wish I know how to deal with it more than I think I know and obviously..........I don't!!

how's the weather?miss BBQing

Danial was up from 2.30 till 6am so I am so so tired. But I just got to sit down now. Too tired to fall asleep or is it too sleepy to be sleeping?? hmmm.........must spend some time thinking about that too. Which one is it then? Anyway, how's your weather?? Weather has not been good here lately. I wish for good weather so I can spend time outside in my graden and building barbeque pit. Was supposed to build it since 4 years ago. I told my brother-in law's girlfriend (I called her my sister in-law), Rannvá that we should make sure that this year we will build it and not put it on hold anymore.

banyak kerja.

Semalam rumah anak patung yang saya beli dah sampai kerumah. Seronok tak terkira!
Apabila diperiksa dengan lebih lanjut, saya dapati bahawa saya perlu bekerja dengan teliti sekali kerana in adalah suatu projekt yang akan mengambil masa. Entahlah, mungkin lebih kurang 13jam jika tidak diganggu. Itupun tidak termasuk waktu yang saya perlu mencatkan, dan menampal kertas hiasan didinding. ni yang banyak kerja ni!!
Hari ini hari Sabtu, kami sekeluarga keluar berjalan bersama-sama.
Today is saturday, we as a family went out walking together.
Kami pergi membeli ais-krim dan juga daging sausage yang siap dibakar. Seronoknya!
We went to buy ice-cream and grill sausage. It was fun!
Ini adalah kali pertama buat kami semua sekali keluar berjalan bersama di Faroe Islands.
This is the first time for all of us together going out walking in the Faroe Islands.
Since Hadi Johan was born, we had never went out walking altogether until now.
Selepas kelahiran Hadi Johan, kami tak pernah keluar berjalan bersama kesemua sehingga sekarang.

how do I spend my day on perhaps what some people would call the most unluckiest day of all. Friday the 13th!!!!

Rannvá's birthday. She's 28 now. Sámal is 39 then.
I bought a mug with her name written on it. It's her birthday and no party whatsoever. In fact, there wasn't anybody in the house except her this afternoon when I went down to wish her. She was going to sell the beer bottles in SMS recyling center. My brother-in-laws and their partners had a dinner party last friday night you see. So I ask fro a ride in her car so I could sell the plastic coke bottles too. We went shopping in Miklagarður after that. We shop for some plant to decorate our porch and went on to a shop selling fancy jewellery. Finally we went to Kiosk Aktiv and bought ice-cream. Wonder when are they going to have coffee flavour and pistachio flavour again. It's been gone for two weeks now.

worthless emotion

I read somewhere that a bad personality is self-pity. What do you think. someone told me it is an emotion and I agree. I was wrong at first to think it was a personality or a trait even. I think self-pity is destructive to one's peace of mind. To have a healthy psychological peace, one should not feel self-pity. One should do something active to think positively. But it lead me to think about if one does not have self-pity, how do they feel about others? How can they be sympathetic when they are not empathetic? Could it be that by having self-pity in some degree actually make you a better person by understand what others may feel too? On the other hand, maybe you are feeling it too strongly that you think others are thinking the same way as you but they are not???
I know someone who hates self-pity but I also know that this someone has feelings like a "robot" towards other people's feelings. I also know someone who wallows in self-pity so much that this someone is more undersanding of another person's feelings. It sure is complicated and by now I am not sure what I am trying to say. Perhaps I have gotten myself so confused now? Anyway, that's a thought!

a sleepy and tired boy

I have a sleepy and tired boy here who refuse to go to sleep. It's late.2216hrs and he's still fighting. Wonder if this will carry on throughout my life? Don't think I can handle this for many many years. I mean, I am getting old too as he is growing up. His body is growing and his mind, I think is going in the opposite direction. He seem to be regressing into 6 months of age. They told me his intelligence level is that of a year old boy but now I think it has deteriorate further. He keep on looking at all his fingers and suking all his hands. Putting his hand into the mouth and "eating " his foot. Most of his behaviour is similar to when he was a tiny baby. Apart from that, he is a strong boy.

rainy and windy today too.

Faroe Islands are having a really weird summer this year. Winter was weird too then.
It has been raining and sun shine switching back and forth this week. The wind is so so cold, it's just like on a beautiful snow day where it is so cold and yet the sun is shining above. So I can't go out to the bank today to handle some matters for my children accounts. My husband said he can drive me but Hadi Johan woke up just when we are about to leave home so I must stay. I cannot go out walking because my arthritis is acting up again every time it get so cold. Plus I have been walking yesterday so my ankle is a bit swollen now and my foot is hurting still.

I am sleepy actually as Danial slept from 11pm to 2:30am only last night. He was so wild too. I was worried about his frantic head shaking and hand flapping. It was so long and with such force, I wonder how come he don't get headaches or feel giddy. I hope it won't make him get seizures again. He has been seizure free for 2 months now but I noticed he had a very tiny "attack" on sunday morning. It was only that one time for 2seconds.

That's the thing about mixed heritage. We are not that fussy about choice of food. We like chinese even though we are not. We cooks both malay and indian dishes as our parent taught us to appreciate both sides of our culture and cuisines.

Anyway, Begum semalam tu harijadi sepupu Jana Maria yang nama Janita. Dia tinggal ditingkat bawah. Umur dia sekarang dah 3tahun. Nanti 20 haribulan July pulak baru Jana Maria umur 3tahun. Nak habiskan cross-stitch hari ini kalau boleh. Lepas tu baru boleh move one ke cross-stitch yang lain.
Semalam Danial tidur dari pukul 9:50malam sampai 4pagi. Tapi dia tidur kembali lepas 10minit sampai ke pukul 8:30pagi. Dia bagi holiday kut? terima kasih Danial. Memang kami perlu sangat tidur tu. Sekarang selsema ni. Suami pun selsema dah nak dekat dua minggu.
Nanti boleh continue. Sekarang nak kena main dengan Hadi Johan yang tengah rancak tendang kaki sambil tengok football on tv. Dia berbual pulak tu dengan fottballers. Bukan main lagi.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage pessimistically. You don't think happy marriages exist anymore.
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

broken faroese.

Merepek betul...hari jadi semalam tapi sambut hari ni. semalam kata pukul 4petang, hari ni kata pukul 7malam. dah tahu anak kita sakit, dan suami kerja malam, macammana nak pergi ka??? bodoh betul mereka semua!! pagal kuta!!
Today is mother's day. Early in the morning, I got sms from my older sis wishing me Happy Mother's Day. That was a nice surprised. She can sms me only when she's in Malaysia. So in the weekdays when she is at work in Singapore, I might get an email or not. So I always look forward to the weekends.
"Máður mín, han kom við tveimum bouquet av vakur blomstrar. Ein er fra mína børnini og ein er fra han sjálv. So eg var so glað fyri tað kanst tú ætlar. Hvør veit han er ein sera romantiskar mann. Ongantið hevur han gloymt nakrar serliga dagur. Í dag, han gera reint í køkinum, kokar døgurða og tøm uppvaskimaskinina og fyllir upp aftur við skitnar tallerkar" (amacam Begum?? boleh tahan. mungkin banyak salah dalam vocab dan spelling tapi kakak cuba kan??)
Very tired and sleepy today. Last night, we struggle with Danial. It was yet his another wild days. He was so so active. He didn't fall asleep until 9:50pm but woke up at 12midnight. He stayed up till 5:30am. I managed to put him to sleep again then until 8am when my husband come with Hadi Johan in his arm and said that he has been crying for 2 hours now. So I take him and that's when Danial woke up. You see, he can sense when I am not next to him. Everybody want to sleep with me..........not easy.
Lately Jana Maria has been so rough with Hadi Johan. I think she is starting to get jealous of him now. She wasn't before. She always glad to have a little brother and excited about coming home from daycare to me and "mín lítla beiggja". I hope this is just a phase that she will get over with and move on. Got to sleep now.

c"?

cind
You are a Princess, accustomed to only the
best. Elegant and poised, you believe in High
Standards, and like your standards to be met.
You are gracious and kind, to those you find
deserving; but woe betide anyone who does not
meet your standards, you would dismiss them
with a casual wave of your hand. Not only do
you set high standards for others, you set them
for yourself also, and sometimes find yourself
struggling to meet them. .Most of your life you
have gained what you wanted, probably an only
or youngest child, you put you first! However,
saying that, you are not entirely self-centred,
only you have learnt to put yourself first.
When moved, you are capable of empathy and
kindness, and would willingly do your best to
help others; but your life so far has taught
you, that you must come first. You are also
well learned.

At your best, you are kind,
gracious, noble and focused; at your worst you
are selfish, dismissive and stubborn. If you
don't agree with something, you would nod your
head graciously, and refuse to be swayed.

You
are special, and everyone should know that.

*yawn* fed up..tired, depressed. don't know what actually.

Well, I should be sleeping. Was so sleepy from 7pm. Managed to put Jana Maria to sleep, then Hadi Johan and myself too. I woke up at 8:30pm and realised that the careworker still didn't bring Danial up to his room. She sit in the kitchen with Danial and sit on further when I come and waited until it was 9pm before she agree to go. Jana Maria has just peed on the floor and she check on the saucer when I ask if it is wet where she is sitting and she examine the saucer and said she was sure I said pizza (faroese pronounced it pitsa) instead of pissa (faroese word for pee). Why would I ask if she can see any pizza on an empty plate??
My children gives me such joys and yet they are such troublesome little creatures sometimes. Jana Maria is in the habit of biting hadi Johan's feet now and putting her weight on him whenever I am not looking or slapping his face and head. I wonder why. She love him to bits and yet she do this.
Danial like to strip down and dancing on the kitchen table! Hadi Johan..well, he's such a darling, he just look around in amazement at the antics his older siblings are capable of.

I am looking forward to tomorrow when my husband has agreed to take a night off from work. Hopefully he can help me with the children tomorrow. I deserved a one night off at least from brushing their teeth, changing diapers and washing them and reading books and feeding medicine to Danial day and nights..etc. All I wish for is one day. Just ONE day to be able to be free from worry about feeding Danial's medicine, preparing the children for bed and feeding them before it. How nice. Even on my night out I always have to think of everything. Men think they have it hard that they have to work and provide for family. When they come home from work, all they want to do is shut out from everything, put their feet up the table and either listen to radio, watch the sport news or football game and grumble when the wives ask them something to do. There's always things to do in the house men. Face it!! It's not life if there's nothing to do especially after you take the step to start a family. If you want freedom and peace and no mess.........don't start a commitment. Don't be in a relationship, stay out of love and be lonely for the rest of your life.

Froði called today to say about the EEG result for Danial. He has received letter from Flemming from Denmark saying that Danial's EEG shows "grasp" seizures so if he exhibit these grasp seizures we have to increased the Keppra dosage. But we'll wait with it since I have not seen any seizures since 25th March. Next appointment will be in August when Flemming come to see all the faroese children here. That's about it now. They are not doing anything anymore.

princessed up a room

Jana Maria wanted me to put princesses all over her room. Hmmm....how does one do this. Well, I just have to figure out what goes where and where to get stuff in this tiny and sometimes backward island. I tried to put her to sleep in her room downstairs yesterday because she is always disturbing Hadi Johan now. He just can't get a good sleep without her waking him up every few minutes or biting his foot or suffocating him by covering his mouth and nose. Iwonder why she started to do all this. Anyway, she was too frightened to be all by herself downstairs so I had to get her up here and she was asleep by 7.30pm last night. As for Danial.....he was so alert last night. He didn't want to go up to his room until at 1045pm when I switch off the kitchen and hallway lights before he agreed to being led up the stairs. He slept almost immediately but was up by 3.30am.
I better call the careworker to come at 7pm instead of 6pm tonight as my husband said the movie start at 6.45pm today. going to do that first.

I'm too soft hearted.

Protector

You are a
protector.

Yes, you don't like to kill people. That goes
against everything you belive in. It's not that
you are a coward, but your ideals and morals
wouldn't allow it. You are the typical hero, do
the righteous things, get the bad guys and do
it all legally. But just because you don't kill
doesn't mean you can't kick ass. And that is
what you do. You use your brain and your
strenght to do honourable deeds and protect
people you know and love. If an evil guy is
going to take over the world soon, it's you who
will get involved. You hate watching innocents
suffer, and love seeing bad people getting what
they deserve. You are probably also happy and
optimistic and work pretty good in groups. And
the friends you usually make are true ones.

Danial's happy day

Danial has been his wild self again now. He is trying to "redecorate" the house so to speak.Throwing things down the stairs, opening and shutting doors non-stop, and throwing toys across the room. The usual hand-flapping and head shaking get even more wild. I am trying out the visual communication with him now. Hope it will work. Only problem is he show no understanding of the picture. I draw a simple plate and cutleries for food, toothbrush as brushing teeth time and somebody lying in bed under the duvet as bedtime. I have to start drawing more. Still waiting for the sernámsdepilin staff to do the print and laminating for me to assist Danial with his visual aid communication. I do not have the boardmaker programme otherwise I can print out some of it myself and get somebody to laminate it for me. I have bought laminating sheets but waiting for help is always a long time. To the people who offers help, they think they are helping by offering kind words but helping is when you actually do it rather than saying it and then just putting it on the shelves or off the shelves completely.

Danial's happy day indeed today. He had only 5mins of sleep, maybe less than that and he was still not sleepy by 1030pm. I called Hanus to ask if hecould come home to carry Danial up the stairs to bed as I can't. For a 4 year old boy, he is very big and tall. One glance, you would think he is 9 years old. His clothes are size 8years to 10 years. He is 118cm now and weighs 28kg. He use to weigh more but the epilepsy medicine he is on now is making he lose his appetite so he has lost a lot of weight. One could really see the difference between then and now. Probably because now he has grown taller too so the facial features sort of elongate too. I tried switiching off the kitchen light to simulate darkness and indicate to him that it is bedtime, then he start to walk with me and hold my hand. It is pretty hard getting kids to sleep in the summer time over here. You see, the sky is not dark. It look just as if it is noon or early afternoon. It is so bright. That is why Jana Maria keep asking me, "mama, hvar moon?" "nú er ikki malam en".

happy bunny!!! maybe not??

proud father Posted by Hello

worth it or not?

What do you think of cellphones that come with cameras? Think people are crazy to have cameras on their phone too? I don't know. Not sure really but here's a thought. You don't usually go walking with a camera in your hand unless ofcourse you are a japanese tourist. Which bring me to this story which happened recently here on the Faroe Islands. There was a young girl walking along the road all by herself when suddenly a man come out of nowhere and flash at her. Guess what??? She took a picture of him with her cellphone and that man was apprehended by the local authority here. So.........what do you think now? Is it still worth it? Don't go out rushing to buy just bcoz of what I wrote. Think again, maybe you already own one...hm? Well I don't. like my daughter always say.
eg veit ikki.

just found better place

I spoke to Begum this morning. Found out that I got the wrong place afterall. All this time I've been blogging on a place that is different than the one that she send me and I often wonder why she has different functions that I do. Silly me. got to see how this look first before i continue.
found me Begum?? She's trying to search me using only the word mata.

Hadi Johan 4 months Posted by Hello



Hadi Johan is sleeping now. I took this picture when he was about to turn 4 months. My husband has just bought a digital camera from www.qxl.dk then. Not bad I think. Then he went ahead and bought another one. This time, it is a good apparatus so I don't say anything. Even I was impressed with the quality of pictures it took. Unfortunately, it is not digital and since I do not own a scanner nor a printer. I cannot prove it to you. Only thing I can prove to you is how cute my son is. He is such a charming boy and easy too. I have never seen such a good baby as he. I called him made for tv baby.

visit to the dentist

contented mom Posted by Hello



Just as I expected! Danial woke up pretty early. must be due to the recent weekend visit with the support worker family. He was up by 3am and stay active and wild up till 5.45am. slept on till 7.30am.
I wonder where he get all this energy from?? Anyway, today Jana Maria is going to the dentist at 10.55am and I am going to bring her out for ice-cream after that. So hope the sun will be shining today.
better be going and get ready now or I'll be busy. Danial has gone to sernámsdepilin and Hadi Johan is waiting downstairs in the kitchen. Jana Maria will not be going to daycare today. It's mommy day with her today.


well-kept teeth and new tv 07:45 pm

Jana Maria has beautiful and well kept teeth. that's what the dentist said each time. I thought there must be something wrong since all my children always get the same result from the dentist and their cousins who lives downstairs all have rotten teeth. But I was wrong. My children really have well-kept teeth. Their cousins have no front teeth and most of their teeth that are left are black or almost black. They blame it on the medicine their children took. hmmmm.........Danial takes his medicine almost two years now and around the clock and his teeth are perfect so I think it's got to be with the way I look after them. I ensure they are brushed every night and after mealtimes whenever they are with me (they are in daycare otherwise). My children are not allowed free access to ice-cream,lollies or sweets and chocolates, not even during Easter.

Today Hanus came home with tulips and a flat screen television for me. That's nice. I asked for a microwave oven or an electric steamer as a birthday present.
Anyway, I am very pleased and happy. We got our holiday money this month and this year there are some for his use and some for my use. His are more ofcourse as I have low income than him. I bought lots of toys for kids and he bought tv for me and a ghettoblaster for his mom. I hope he spend money on himself.

Jana Maria Posted by Hello







Well, I tried to remove one of the ticker for this post but still has not figure it out yet. I am still new to this thing. Wish I know how to make it look as fancy as the rest of the people that exist out there in the web but I am not them so this is me. If you know what I mean..............by the way, I have very dyslexic fingers. Always have to retype over and over again as my fingers tend to spell it weirdly even though all the letters are there.
Well, this is my girl and sure look like I am going to have only one girl since I decide now that I will not have another child. She is so mature for her age and wise too. She like to tease her blind grandma over here into an argument by saying......."omma, tu eiga babba" then ofcourse the grandma would say," ja, eg eiga babba tí eg mamma til babba" and then my daughter would get her antic and start to say, "nei, eg eiga babba, ikki tu" which the grandma will say, "nei, eg eiga babba" and this goes on back and forth. Suddenly my daugther stopped and looked and me, then she asked,"mama, you think Omma shall own my babba?" I wanted to laugh. She was afraid of losing this battle so she decide to include me in their argument!
Then one day before my birthday, my husband asked me what do I want for a present. Jana Maria overheard and chipped in decidedly, "babba, you shall not buy mommy, present." She point finger at him and said vehemently,"I shall!". So I asked her what will she buy for my birthday then? She replied,"I will sing you a Happy Birthday song" to which she started singing to me. Awww........that was so sweet of her don't you think?

She really like to be treated like a princess and be called "my beautiful princess". She is so ladylike. Each time she get her fingers dirty during mealtimes, she must wipe it clean first before she eat again. She like to help me do the cleaning and clearing up. She like to change her "lítla beiggja"'s diapers.

good friend are hard to find and sometimes harder to keep in touch

24th july 2004 at my friend Janet's wedding. Jana Maria is 2 and I'm pregnant there. Posted by Hello
well, that was a year ago. Almost a year ago. Martin is my good friend. He is from Slovakia and we reach this island the same year. We got married to our faroese partners the same year too. He was the one who took this picture of us at 2am in the morning during Janet's wedding. Janet is our friend from Liberia. She is half african and half faroese. We three keep in contact with each other not as often as I would have like though. I think it's because we all have our own families now and busy with small children. Okay.okay, I am busy with small children but they are busy with their one year old child and going on their number two at the end of the year. Which remind me.....I'd better gather them for another dinner and movie night before they become parent the second time round. We did it once last year. How I wish it is not a once a year affair that we can get together. It is hard for me because my husband work at night and my children need so much attention from me. I have nobody who can help me out so I must ask my husband to stay home for a night if I want to go out. Plus I am still breastfeeding my 5 month old boy Hadi Johan so I cannot leave him or stay away for a longer time.
