No, this is not my version of the nursery rhyme London Bridge Is Falling Down. It actually describes what happened to my right little finger recenly - it 'bent and snapped'.....
It was a Thursday. We decided to send Ikhwan at the nearby nursery for a day. I was working as usual, while my wife had matters to attend to.
That evening, it was raining heavily. Since my wife arrived back at our condo before I did, she waited for me at the nursery. When I got there, it was still drizzling and was already dark despite the time hadn't reached 7 o'clock yet. It seemed that the sun had decided to set earlier than usual that day.
I could see my wife's car parked nearby the pool area, where the nursery is closely located. After parking my car, I walked to the nursery, carrying my working bag, a shopping bag and an umbrella.
Upon reaching the nursery, my wife carried Ikhwan to the car, while I carried the working bag, the shopping bag, two umbrellas (including wife's), Ikhwan's nursery bag and Ikhwan's basket (which contained his tin of milk, a bottle of plain water, a thermos and a bottle warmer).
While I was putting down the stuffs in the back seat, the working and nursery bags had somehow slipped from my shoulders. As I tried to prevent them from continue on slipping, my little finger became the 'victim' of holding the bags by their straps. Those few seconds that happened when all the weight of the bags was forced to be on top of my finger had caused the bones to snap, making the finger looking rather crooked and 'bent'. It was quite painful of course, but since I could still open and close my palms as usual, I just bear with it till the next day.
So what did we do next? After realising that these days, my wife won't be able to help much with all the carrying (as her hands are full attending to Ikhwan), we decided to get ourselves a trolley. That should do the job! At least, it saves me time and energy in carrying stuffs to or from the car.

Oh my God..!! What happened? The crooked finger looks really painful.
Anyway, how's it feel like to have a baby around these days? Do you wake up in the middle of the night to change its diaper and feed him or do you let your wife do it?
Isy, Kak Red ni, sabor jer lah... hehe...
Klu bawak beg baju dalam 2,3 tu ok lg kot, coz 2 beg buleh sadung kat bahu kanan & kiri, lagi satu pegang kat tangan jer..
Yg jadi 'complicated' tu all these small bags. Sumbat semua dlm trolley yg merah itam tu lg senang.
Hi Ija,
having a baby is SUPER GREAT!!!Every now and then, I voluntarily wake up in the middle of the night or stay up late to take care of our baby. But since my wife is still on leave (till end of August), sometimes she tells me to go to bed since I have to work the following morning.
But then if I insist on helping, she cannot do anything also lohh... hehehee..
