Tunnelling through…

You know Martians and Venusians have been living on earth for a long time when: August 1, 2009

- Martian starts to drink venusian’s choice of drink – Coke (that too just Coca Cola, not pepsi!) over his usual choice of Canada Dry/Ginger Ale.

- Martian finds fifteen minutes too long a wait at the airport – contrary to life on Mars where he would reach the airport hours before the flight departed.

- Martian has started to manage money more than spending it. Previously, venusian would manage it, Martian would spend it.

- Earthians refuse to believe our real siblings are our real siblings indeed but insist we(Mr Martian and Ms Venusian) look like siblings instead.

- Venusian can easily eat peanut butter, reeses, almost any form of beef and honey roasted peanuts.

- Venusian can cook nihari. Before she wouldn’t touch beef with a flag pole!

- Martian would rather spend the weekend pox-ed up on Earth despite family reunions on Mars.

- Venusian is no longer ticklish. Previously, in venus, you could tickle her by wiggling your fingers from across the room!

- Martian lets go of his usual dose of action movies to watch a chick flick with the venusian. Venusian still can’t stay awake through an entire movie though.

- Martian starts enjoying books, even if it means venusian must read it out to him

- Venusian has watched more movies than the number of books she’s read in the past year. But that may have to do with the fact that we have two little earth-lings living with us now!

- Both Martian and venusian agree that the very thing about each other that drives us crazy, is the very same thing that we are crazy about in each other. Yes, it seems really simple but that took sometime for us to figure out, but we’re glad we finally did it  =)

 

Onslaught of the Ms Perfect..! August 1, 2009

Hana seems to have entered the phase where everything needs to be done in the way its meant to be. Change the sequence and she’ll start getting worried. Here are a few examples:

1. She listens to “huppy” (if you’re happy and you know it..), followed by wheels on the bus on youtube. If I accidently put on wheels on the bus first, she starts screaming “huppy” on repeat until I change it to huppy.

2. I can’t use imran’s cell or laptop neither can he use mine. To each their own.

3. Everyone has to use their own glasses, spoons and plates. No changing.

etc etc.

As much as I’m loving everything has a purpose/place and everything in its place stage, I can’t wait for the flexibility to set in too. I really, really, really want her to be easy going, flexible kind.

The OCD genes seems to run rampantly through my side of the family and luckily it spilt out by the time it reached my cup. I love being able to just get up and go and do things as they come. Nothing needs to be done NOW and oh well, life goes on.  Alhamdolillah, Imran’s the same and it’s really helped that Eesa’s gotten it from us as well – well apart from the same phase at the same age!

 Hana, I hope you find your balance soon and start focussing on the greater and deeper purpose of life soon. Yes, yes I know you’re only 18 months old. But the fact that you are merely 18 months old and are showing strong OCD genes just rattled my nerves a little too strongly. I know its just a phase. But please keep it that way.

Thank you! *hugz*

Love,

Your Chez Mama.
