missing Ampang Park and some bits about Mikhail

Assalamualaikum :)

oh mai..April dah nak habis dah tapi 1 post pun takde..(ada obligation ker?) anyway, its been so busy for us these past few months..we enroll mikhail into reading class 4 times a week..penat sikitlaa berulang nak hantar amik dia..that includes weekend as well so our weekend activity samada balik kampung or kenduri semua affected..takpelaa..tak lama je lagi..amik pakej 4 times a week sebab katanya within 2-3 months dah boleh membaca bahasa melayu..biar cepat sikit nanti boleh move on to read english pulak..i have bought the readeasy book set..nanti kita try..demi masa depan dia..

next year dah nak darjah 1, melompat aku bila test dia huruf pun xkenal..all this while cikgu kata ok jer tapi the way they ask the question didnt help him to recognize letters..kata x ajar kenal huruf tapi ajar teknik fonik..whatever teknik pun kalau x boleh membunyikan huruf macamana kan..contohnya soalan tuh kena match huruf mana sesuai dengan gambar..the teacher feed the answers, memanglaa dia boleh jawab..faham tak? and dia dah tadika since 4yo..geram jugaklaa..dahlaa bayar bulan2 xmurah, sukan takde..bln Mei onwards dah start praktis konsert..hmmm..

i admit salah sendiri jugak too occupied dengan benda2 lain..ada jugak buat reading session dengan dia tapi tak lama n tak konsisten..after 3 kids, i still haven't get the tempo to manage time at home..seriously, i banyak follow media social mommies yang ada anak2 lebih kurang baya anak2 i but seeing them handling their kids macam senang jer..macam banyak jer masa..sempat masak, lipat kain lagi..i nih kang baru duduk sebelah dia, yang kecik merengek nak bergayut, yang besar mintak ajar homework..so yang tgh nih macam left out..dahlaa dia memang jenis buat hal sendiri..mikhail bukan jenis yang seek attention..very easy to handle..

oh, lupa nak habaq..since cuti sekolah haritu my husband train dia malam xpakai diapers..kejut dia 1-2 kali bangun (very easy kejut dia unlike his sister *roll eyes*) lepas tuh dah ok, takyah bgn malam dah..dia pun dengan sendiri xnak minum susu after 8pm..yes, anak2 aku still minum susu..dalam botol..susah betul nak pisahkan. cikgu pulak jenis tak sampai hati..kesian diorang mintak2..itupun aku dah sekat2 tak bg as often as before..kalau duduk ngan mommy, sehari maybe 2-3 kali jer..kalau ngan babah mau 5-6 kali dia layankan..hmm..

eh, pening eh kejap i kejap aku..haha..faham2 laa eh..memang aku cakap camni..campur2..tak caya tanya my sisters n friends..tgh speaking kita i lah, pastu selit malays tiba2 jadi aku..huhuhu..

anyway, i missed Ampang Park.. i missed the random services that it offers whenever we need them..macam cobbler, tailor to alter clothes, mini bookshop, just enough to buy few stationeries, banglas that sell cheap tshirt and comfortable pattern pants, boutiques that sell readymade baju kurung for that impromptu kenduri at weekend, small pasaraya for mommies to buy groceries, saloons that can cater your needs for a good hairwash, that small watch shop that treat you warmly walaupun kau nak tukar bateri jam jer..anything you need, just name it..the price was affordable plus its just 3 minutes walk from my office..now that my shoes need to be fix, where should i go? 

i have been working near Ampang Park for more than 14 years..Ampang Park nih takdelaa Mall yang paling gah kat KL nih tapi it has everything that you need..kenangan dengan Ampang Park bukan start dari bekerja jer but since kecik2..my abah will brought me and my sister berbuka puasa at least sekali setiap tahun kat cozy corner..the food selection at Ampang Park is extensive..terasa nak makan goreng2, ada restoran selasih, kuey tiaw bandung dia sedappp..ada ayam penyet, McD KFC and Pizza Hut bila terasa nak makan fast food..ada cozy house with very fast service..isyh..teringat2 pulak yinyong kungfu dia..

masa final week sebelum ampang park ditutup, punyalaa ramai umat manusia..rata2 aku dengar diorang cakap ni tempat dating dulu..hehehe..sayangnya masa tuh dah banyak kedai yang tutup..mostly pakcik makcik yang datang pun tak beli apa2..just jalan2 amik gambar jer..adalaa kedai2 yang belum tutup buat clearance sales but bila tengok harga sama jer macam sebelum2 nih..kitorang taulaa, dah kata almost everyday kot pegi sana..sekarang bahagian depan dioarng dah tutup dengan kanvas so you cannot see the building anymore..basement parking pun nampaknya dah habis dikorek2..and walking to Intermark terasa jauh coz dulu kitorang ikut shortcut dalam Ampang Park..mujur nak makan x susah coz ada foodtruck banyak kat tepi2 building nih..Ampang Park, thank you for the memories..you will be missed..
