My Azalea

Azalea...Nur Hanis Azalea. I love so much to call her Azalea instead of Nur or Hanis. Azalea in arabic means forever, ‘kekal abadi’. Nur is cahaya, Hanis is takwa. So Nur Hanis Azalea mean Cahaya Takwa Kekal Abadi. I don’t know where in the world did i have the idea of naming my babies with that long name. All i want to is for them to have name that have a sentence of meaning. Instead of each word meaning. Kakak named as Nur Irdina Nasuha meaning Cahaya Kehormatan Kami Suci Murni.

Azalea in scientific is the name of flower. Huhuu...mentang-mentang la mama org science. Acually it was coincidence. I didn’t realised Azalea is the name of flower until a few of my friends (ex-coursemate in Chemistry) reply my msg saying it was nice to name a daughter with name of flower. Masa tuh baru 2 3 hari bersalinkan Azalea. Bukan sorang plak tuh kata Azalea tuh nama bunga, 3 4 org jugak la. Paling best nenek kata, Azalea nama jenama pinggan. Hehehe...memang ada pun.

Azalea is one the Best things that happen to my life. When i’m in my 2nd pregnancy i was just hoping that i can give kakak baby sister. But never had i mentioned that i wanted so much another baby girl. Kalau org tanyer pun paling banyak i’ll said, rasa cam nk baby girl, tp x kisah la baby girl ke boy...janji sihat. But i did know nenek nak cucu boy lagi sorang, coz cucu nenek now 7 girl, 2 boy. (back then before Azalea was borned 6 girls and 1 boy). Tapi Nenek tak kisah. Nenek sayang semua sama. My husband and I called my mom, Nenek n my MIL, Opah. so that the children will understand. Plus it’s easier to differenciate between mak keramat n mak kampar. We always said mak when mention either mak kampar or mak keramat. It has never been mak abg or mak saya. maybe because I don’t feel it appropriate to address my MIL as mak abg, for me once i’m married to their son i’m their daughter. Eh ...tgh cite psl Azalea kan..leh corner ke lain pulak...
Azalea for one thing...is totally different from kakak. She is more active, but focused. Kakak also active but she hardly mingled with other. Lambat kakak nk baik dgn org. But Kakak is a fast learner and yet she’s hardly focused, so much like mama. Azalea mmg lain sgt dari kakak, but dia cepat tangkap apa kakak buat and tiru. And she’s so much like papa, focused...tak leh kacau. Paling haru bile Azalea tiru apa kakak buat and buat lebih advance. Contoh nya, kalau kakak menulis..Azalea akan ikut. But yang Kakak tulis atas kertas, yang Azalea tulis atas kertas, buku cerita, dinding and carpet. Paling haru kakak yang tak pernah conteng dinding pun ikut Azalea. Paling hebat, Azalea conteng tangan and badan. Kakak ikut sekali jek, kena marah.. Kakak tak pernah buat dah. Since she was small like 15 months, kakak dh bole bezakan kemarahan, kegembiraan, pujian dan sebagainya. so kakak kalau kena marah sekejap dah paham. Azalea??? ekekekkeee....ligat, marah la camne pun. Dia diam sat jek Pastu, mama and papa garu kepala..sambil mama taip nih Azalea tgh cuba conteng baju..

Azalea is one of the best things that happen to our life. Pernah mama n papa menitik airmata. syahdu tgk kakak main dgn Azalea. seolah2 our hajat utk bagi kakak teman tercapai. Mmg kalo kecik berdua nih gaduh, mama geram...papa lagi la sejak jaga diorg sendirian sebab mama asyik kursus, bile marah cam ‘blood goes upstairs’ jek. kihkihkih...Tapi bile diorang main gelak-gelak..heaven jek rase..

Azalea jauh beza dengan kakak. Kakak takut org, Azalea berani tapi jinak2 merpati. dekat boleh, sentuh jangan. At the age of 9 months, Azalea dh boleh panjat tangga n kerusi kecil. Panjat merata but umur setahun baru boleh jalan. Kakak failed bab memanjat sampai umur 2 tahun. But actually kakak starts walking at 8 months. Pakai kan kasut, lepas lah Azalea berjalan...huhuuu...jauh pergi nyer. Kakak? selagi boleh menebeng kat mama n papa...heheh...akan menebeng selama mungkin. Langsung tak terpesona dgn tarikan dunia. Kakak is a light sleeper, kalau tinggal dia tido sensorang, tak sampai 15 minit, kakak akan terbangun. Azalea...tidur nyenyak tak hingat. So kalau Azalea tidur tak nyenyak...kitorg paham lah somethings wrong somewhere..

Azalea banyak betul beza dengan kakak. But both are princesses yang teramat kami sayang. Mama yang beria nk baby girl masa mengandung kan kakak. Azalea is the bonus. Memang old saying ada ckp ‘menjaga sekandang kerbau lagi mudah dari menjaga seorg anak perempuan’. Kira mama ada dua kandang kerbau ker? hikhikhik...but deep down I always remember that and pray my princesses will be wanita solehah and taat. Amin. Semoga ‘Cahaya Takwa akan Kekal Abadi’ dan ‘Cahaya Kehormatan Kami itu sentiasa Suci Murni’...
