How Was Your Father's Day Celebration?

Kitaorg sambut simple2 je. Sbnarnya Hubs mcm ckp x payah susah2, tp ada sekali tu dia tersebut ala2 nak kan sama dgn apa yg he got me for Mother's Day, which was card and flowers.

Ok, so I thought I returned him the favours, but with a creative twist. Since Aisyah is soooo loving the art of painting right now, aku pon decided to get Hubs something yg diperbuat drpd hasil tgn anak dara nya yg sorg ni. Lebih bermakna la katakan.

So ini projek aku dan Aisyah smlm, secara senyap2 kitaorg buat projek rahsia dlm bilik. I had bought a wood work painting kit earlier, and tinggal Aisyah cat aje benda alah tu. Bkn senang, sbb Hubs mmg sedikit angin sbb aku tutup pintu bilik x bg dia masuk, and we were supposed to go out in another 45 minutes tp aku ngan Aisyah duk mengecat plak (he knew we were painting, tp had no clue what it was or that it was for his present tee heeee!).

Gmbr2 artist at work. Aisyah sgt sukeeeee mengecat, sampai hari ni duk sebut2 lagi nak buat painting. Btw, gaya artist tegar dah ada tu dkt Aisyah, gaya rambut serabai tuh.








I am a big believer in letting children belajar and explore benda2 sendiri, especially arts and crafts, so no matter how itching my hands were at helping or meddling with her art piece, I refrained myself from doing so. The only thing I did was taught her how to hold the brush, and to make sure she dipped the brush into the cup of water whenever nak tukar colour lain. For some reasons she hated the colour green, even nak bukak penutup kaler green pon dia marah. Oh well, who says we're doing real life painting pon kan? Abstract or avant garde art is more the in-thing pon skang hehhee.



End product. At the moment, Aisyah is no Monet, but I would describe her stylings as leaning more towards Pablo Picasso's. Ahem.

So we let it dry overnight, then once dah kering aku bungkus cpt2. This morning, aku suruh Aisyah bg hadiah tu dkt Ayah dia. Tersengih2 dan terkedek2 budak tu berjalan bg card kat bapak dia. The only person yg tersengih dgn lebih lebar lg adalah Hubs himself, sampai tergiggle2 like a high school girl, sbb dia adalah sgt x expect. I'm a genius! (Di atas permintaan Hubs, gmbr beliau tidak dipaparkan di sini, kerana it was early morning, and beliau masih busuk x mandi).




Kalo dulu dia bg aku card SuperMom, kali ni aku balas ngan card SuperDad!




Kalo dulu aku dpt bunga rose hidup, kali ni aku balas ngan bunga jg. Btw, bunga rose aku dulu tu, kini dah kering tp pesen bunga2 kat UK ni x kering coklat layu mcm kat Msia, tp mcm dipreserve plak jdnya, maybe sbb cuaca kering. So after 3 months pon still cantik lg bunganya, albeit looking a little, errr.. less than alive.







So Happy Father's Day to Hub, to my Dad (I feel bad x sempat post him a card, but I called Msia this morning), to my FIL, to those yg dah nak become bakal bapa for the first time (wink wink you know who you are), dan to all fathers in general. Yg telah lama menjadi bapa, terima kasih di atas pengorbanan membesarkan dan mendidik kami anak2 mu, utk yg tgh menjadi bapa2 baru ni, smg anda lebih rajin tolong bini jaga anak menjadi bapa yg terbaik utk dijadikan ikutan dan contoh anak2 di masa hadapan, Insya Allah....
