It's madness, this iPad 2 phenomenon. I don't know how Apple did it, but it worked. For iPads, many of us have been queuing up forever and coming out of the store with a triumphant smiles plastered on our faces. How many devices can do that to us, let alone to the majority of us?I was lucky this time around I went into the game prepared due to the endless wait. Otherwise I would have been in the

8th of May comes again. A day celebrated for all mothers for the sacrifices and hardships that comes with the territory of being a mum. Being a mum made me understand that all is not a bed of roses. Children don't come with manuals because every one of them is different. The process of getting to know their uniqueness is called parenting. It made me understand that learning does not come from us

For young mothers like me, one of the hardest things I  ever had to do was leave my kids when I'm away on assignments or sent to cover elections in other states. So far I've only been to Kelantan, Melaka and Sarawak. And already, it's taking its toll on me. Ironically, I do understand how working mums have to make sacrifices and learn how to balance family life and work. And yet, I hesitate...

How is it that somebody can be lost so many times yet still don't know the way, you ask? Sigh...I've been asked this question too a thousand times. With a disbelieving look, mind you. The truth is, I don't know! And don't you dare give me a compass and a map, it does nothing for me! Arghhh...The same disaster struck me here in Sarawak. Do you know that maximum distance of the place I planned to

The last time I was this hooked up on a drama was way back in my uni days when I was hooked up on Japanese dramas. With Takuya Kimura as the lead star of course.  I remember I would lock myself in my room, coming out only for meals, trying to finish up 16 episodes of dramas which would take about 3 days to finish. Yes, it was that bad. But oh so worth it... I was young, and naive (still is at

For example, u know your husband will die someday but you always think it may not be now? But it did. And when you think you will never make the dreaded mistake of hurting your child but you did? Or when you think that you will  never get into an accident, but you

Well hello everyone...! :-))) I'm blogging live from Gua Musang, Kelantan. Have been here since Oct 24th...So it's been what, a week plus? Oh my, it was initially very hot during the day, and bloody cold at night. On top of that, we are given accommodations at Rumah Tumpangan Mei Hwa, I call it. Damn, can't the company get us a more decent place to stay with so many other choices, we got among

One of the main reasons I ‘jumped’ into a different field about a year plus ago was my passion for writing. I have always had English as one of my easiest subjects to score during my schooling years. Blogging started just after Arwah passed away, and carried on until now, although I am sometimes pressed for time, I always have this place called a blog to write about things about my life,

Last weekend, a friend of mine, Meque, had an open house at her home in Putra Heights. She was a friend of mine in high school, and  coincidentally, her husband is a friend of my husband’s. So we made the time to go meet some old friends…When we arrived, I saw some friends that I have not seen since school years, some as far back as form 4.(I changed school at F5). Some with kids, some

One of the things that we noticed with Asyraaf eversince he was about a year old was his fascination with aircrafts, be it the commercial aircrafts, a chopper or anything that moves in the air come to think of it…He’ll will shriek at the top of lungs “Ibu!! Oplane!!”, pointing excitedly at an aeroplane that passes by. So when we got to know of the TUDM Subang Open Day, we were excited to bring

You know sometimes when you notice a kid in a party or a gathering somewhere that steals the attention of everyone by doing something that nobody else would do...? Well in this case, that boy is none other than Zamir Asyraaf.

Having some time off work for a change leaves me some room to  think about other things in life besides work. A few weeks before going for maternity leave I went for a course and was asked to write down our goals in life in specific details. For example if I want a car, what kind or car, colour, model, and if possible sketch it out. Be as clear and illustrative as you can. Errmmm…now that I

Hazel had jaundice at about 7-8 days old…and was warded for 2 days under the blue light until she was a little better and was discharged. And at about 3 weeks…there was a little more on her face which refused to go away… And that was when an aunt came to our house to visit and uttered this words… “ Isy kuning nie…dalam mult dia kuning, mata pun kuning, badan pun kuning ni…bawakla pegi hospital

As of lately, we are deprived of sleep, not only from Hazel, which is not only expected, but anticipated, but from Asyraaf. He has been waking up in the middle of the night from nightmares, we presume and keep on crying relentlessly till wee hours in the morning.

The number 2 is bigger than 1 right…? (The fact that I’m asking this question shows how haywired my mind is right now * sigh…) Everything seems bigger to me somehow lately… I noticed we needed bigger storage for the kids’ clothing and things…bigger space in the trunk for both strollers to be put in… bigger budget for the family… more diapers to buy… and most of all, BIGGER RESPONSIBILITIES.

I thought giving birth via c-section was horrific, but I was wrong. Giving birth normally was a package I call : excruciatingly painful, long and crazy. Hehe… it was a process all mothers go through ever since human existed. And yet it never gets old. It is what I think a life-changing experience and again, one of those things in life that is the very essence of being a woman. The vast

Asyraaf has started to ‘kokom’ meaning ‘carry’, ‘suchu’ meaning ‘to give milk to his sister while laughing gleefully when I let him. In short he wants to be included.

update3.30pmEddina has safely delivered a healthy baby girl weight 3.3kg at 11.40am this morning. Mummy and baby is in good condition, dad still traumatized with the whole blood flow, scream and pushing with baby head halfway out. Anyway, it is an experience which will bring "keinsafan" on the greatness of Allah. Its a sacred experience... all dad should go thru it. Alhamdulillah....Asyraaf's Dad

Mommiessss!!! Help!!! Our very gender is being ridiculed in this video!!! Err…but is there a ring of truth in it perhaps…? Some remote possibility maybe…? huhuhu…I do see it in my mom though…LOL.And I bet my kids are going to say the same thing about me one day…haha… But oh well, too bad, WE ARE YOUR MOTHERS…therefore we get the license to NAG… LOL…

I never thought I would one day thank a TV series for making it easier for me to survive motherhood.  But here I am doing it. We are not anywhere near subscribing to any cartoon channels on the Astro yet…we think the 611 Astro Ceria and TVIQ is sufficient…for now at least. But one thing that I have found to be intriguing, is how TTB can mesmerize my son up to the point where he will lie down

We have been thinking about hiring a maid since I got pregnant with LittleOne. But we ended up not taking one for a variety of reasons, most of them stated in this article quoted below. I don’t know if we are doing the right thing or if hiring a maid is better as compared to a childcare centre, but for now… i think a nursery suits us best since Asyraaf seems very happy there and being

Blame it on my ignorance… but I believe girls look sweetest in pink. Huhu… I am uncontrollable now… but the pink crusade has begun…LOL. And mind you, these are only a few of the many other PINKS I bought…hehe.

So now I can catch up with the posts I have been meaning to update but always had to put it off due to being super busy… This time is the story about the boy who has never been to a futsal court before (the only other time we went was when he was 7 mons old).

I am blogging from PCMC this time, because I am admitted here since yesterday evening. I wasn’t feeling well the last two nights with back pains that shot up to my shoulders from my lower back, constant peeing (even more so than usual), felt feverish, dizziness and when I woke up yesterday morning to go to work, I vomited a few times which alarmed me. I was also experiencing light headedness

Had a treat from my Parents-in-law for my birthday at Tupai2…This time it was steamboat buffet…It had a wide variety of seafood to choose from, big prawns and squids, with both soup and tomyam. And the best part is, it’s buffet, so you can add up as much as you want. For kids, you can have nasi goreng or pau or ice-cream which is also included in the buffet menu. God, it was heavenly!

This, my friends, is my ultimate craving, during pregnancy with Asyraaf and now with LittleOne too. I noticed this craving when I started to think how the dust under the bed is …yummy, or the fine grain of the soil by the construction roadside is …again, yummy. And anything that is floury, fine and powdery. I ate flour once, and believe me, it did not taste good! So I resorted to sagun which

27th January 2009 : I am 30 this year. GOD I’M SOOO OLDD!!! Ladies, when you hit the three-mark…you’ll start to search for wrinkles here and there, and start talking the way your mom does…LOL. It was a quiet 30th birthday well-spent I guess. I was surprised with a cute cake and a present from Starbucks, with a birthday wish sang in the dark by my beloved husband and a ‘tergedik-gedik’ dance

Pics during one of the visits to PCMC. Imagine having to chase after Asyraaf in a building that big…ughh…sometimes it’s a nightmare to bring him along… [org perak kata peghakkk …:-)] Nobody seems to know where is PCMC though, only a handful knows. But so far, they provide good service, take the time to smile everytime we get there, and most importantly, waiting time is usually very minimal- 1

We went ahead and did the detailed scan last two weeks at Prince Court Medical Centre as we did with Asyraaf when he was about 25 weeks. And we found out the gender of the little one...it's gonna be a girrlllll!!! You will never know my anticipation waiting for that news...after having a boy...you just can't help but wish for a girl...(hoping she will be more docile as compared to her

Not to mention the infos and the news alerts from political blogs and etc. And I have come up with a conclusion: There's a new party in Perak called PPP - Parti Porak Peranda as called by Rocky in his post.

Wowweee...it's been 2 months since I last updated! Gosh... where in the world have I been huh? Actually, I haven't been anywhere, just the usual work and home drill but I find it hard to blog these days due to the constraints of new work environment and adjustments that I had to make in my life. And I have been wallowing in self-pity due to the painstakingly slow 3 months of morning sickness

This is new. And it is the new craze of Zamir Asyraaf. DANCING. More or less I guess. No music is alienated, as long as it has a rhythm...he will shake his bottom and hands while laughing gleefully, glancing at us of course, to see if we are watching him dance. Sucker for glamour hehehe. But it's really funny, but he has an ear for music I think

Decision made. I am crossing over. Not politically... not crossing over Melinda Gordon style... but career wise. Hehe...Tendered my resignation mid of last month and will be starting in my new workplace after Hari raya insya-Allah. So back to KL I guess...with the hustle and bustle and the hectic lifestyle. But... sacrifices has to be made for a better family economy. Good opportunities don't

Asyraaf has started to toddle last 2 weeks or so...And hasn't stopped doing so ever since. And no help wanted of course. If we try to help him by holding his hand, he will pull his hand away as if saying " I can do this la Ibu...no need to help..." * sigh... And naturally all things and gadgets that used to just be enough just to put out of reach now needs to be put elsewhere..

The awaited Ramadhan is finally here... I have been waiting for Ramadhan to come this year... Living in Kampung areas has its advantages...food is cheap...smiles are generous...and the air is cool and fresh...Still remember when my family and I went back to Kampung a day or so before Hari raya and fasted there...* syahdu... Am sure going to miss this place when we shift... :-( Alhamdulillah..

But it pays when you cry and turn to the next person beside you, knowing he loves you the way you are, just

Well...wonderland is not so wonderful anymore for little Asyraaf :-). We recently got the safety gate to be installed at the kitchen entrance from the living room. We have been thinking to do so for a long time but never got around it. So now we have. And it is soooo much easier since I don't have to go hunting for my chilli sauce in the 2nd bedroom, the vermicelli in the main bedroom and the

Having watched Anwar and Shabeery debate on Awani yesterday... it was refreshing. I have not seen Anwar on TV that personal since during his 'golden' days and after that during the time he was charged with sodomy and bribery allegations.

It is now EXTREMELY hard to get a good watch of TV. Because eversince Astro has launched the new decoder...he has been working overtime. F.O.C. of course.It has become a routine where we suddenly get a blank blue screen that says 'Pls insert your smartcard' in the midst of watching TV. We would look at him and say "Asyraaf...put it back..." but all we got was an innocent gaze as if saying "

Another new discovery of Asyraaf's : Fear of catsFollowing my footsteps I guess: Asyraaf is scared of cats. Discovered during dinner at a restaurant. There was a cat that lingered around us and suddenly I noticed Asyraaf's feet was up on the babychair...hehe...Tak macholah anak Ibu nie...LOL...Tis okay...we'll work on it ... there's still hope... :-)

3 years since Arwah passed away. A lot has happened. I got married again, Asyraaf was born and a lot of things that happened that I would rather forget than remember. Obstacles that was too high I could not reach. But it was part and parcel of life.ALHAMDULILLAH. That is the only thing I want to say to Allah. I am truly blessed. Given a test I thought I couldn't go through but I did get through

Asyraaf's first birthday cake Asyraaf & Friends...Only one year ago I was holding a cute, small, docile(stay still) baby in my arms...And he is now....1 year old...! Alhamdulillah...May you be blessed with a happy and long life sweetheart. You'll never know how much happiness and love you have brought into Ibu and Ayah's lives. We love you...We didn't hold a birthday party at our home as planned

Thanks to Noreane, Munir and I had the greatest time watching a midnight movie last 2 weeks. It has been...err...A VERY LONG TIME since we last watched a movie. I believe it was Transformers the last time we watched. Asyraaf was only 3-4 months old at that time. This time, we went prepared. Who had the honour of watching over cheeky little asyraaf? My mom and dad-in-law...:-). They borught

After trying in vain for a few months to get asyraaf to eat rice/porridge...he finally took this in: nestle rice and chicken. Tastes and smells good too... I tasted it before giving it to him. For some it is quite a delayed progress but for me, I can now heave a sigh of relieve. All this while, if any rice/ porridge is given to him, he would shove it out of his mouth as soon as he feels the rice

I remember when I was little and I read about the candy house in Hansel & Gretel...how it made my mouth water thinking of a house full of chocolates and candy, and how I would have just loved to go into one! :-) Gosh...it still makes my mouth water...

Ever imagined when you were pregnant that you would be sighing every 2 minutes when you can't even get your cheeky little one to sit still for 3 seconds just to put his diapers on...? Well, guess what...? That's what we are dealing with right now... Suddenly the glowy and heavenly picture of taking your time...smiling and gazing lovingly at your child while you 'lovingly' put his diapers on...

One morning last week, as usual, I received an email from Babycentre... The article amongst them was this one :Where's your nose?An 11-month-old baby is just learning about himself as a separate person from you. Part of that process is learning about his body and, like many things, he will learn through play. If you ask your baby where his nose is, and point to it, he will soon make the

I start this post with a smile remembering Asyraaf's last misery we put him through... We asked a dear friend of ours to buy this specially made pacifier from UK when I saw it online. As we thought it would be, it was hilarious on Asyraaf. Then again, it would be hilarious on any baby. And cute too... But since Asyraaf has never had any pacifiers before, he doesn't know how to use it as any

Eversince Asyraaf was fringing towards toddlerhood about a month back, we noticed that eating out was a next to impossible task to accomplish. It is easier to order a take-out and eat peacefully at home while he is playing/sleeping... He started with :Getting restless in his baby chair/ strollerBanging his toys on the dining table in front of us which invited a few looks from the people dining

Sorry Asyraaf, this has been the lifetime dream of Ibu ...to dress you up. If you were born a girl, your fate would've been much worse :-D... When you get older, you can choose your clothes. For now... you just have to bear with me...:-)Bought these from lelong.com...I have been trying to search for these costumes for quite some time but my effort was in vain.

This time we went to a salon for Asyraaf's haircut... I didn't want get the shaved military haircut like the first time around. So this time ahmoi cut his hair... :-). He was quiet this time, aside from the turning to see when the scissors chopped away his hair. Curiosity at his peak now...It didn't take long, about 15-20 minutes, just to make his hair shorter...I have a feeling there are gonna

Our everyday schedule is finally back on track...After the 'family getaway', we settled back into our usual everyday routine = BORING. But it provides comfort to know there's a place to go home to after a day's hard work, a child to hug and kiss and a husband as your life companion. As like every other humans on earth, there is always obstacles and happiness in life that comes along during

Coincidentally, Shareen ( former colleague of mine) gave birth at An-Nur a few days after Asyraaf was admitted. They were just a few rooms apart from us. Congratulations are in due...it's baby girl. I've been told they were going to name her Sarah Arissa...err...a lot of Sarah's and Arissa's around these days...:-) Anyway, congratulations again and may your life be blessed with this adorable baby

26/3/08 12.02 am...another trip to An-Nur Hospital. Asyraaf went vomitting without stop for about 8 times and we made the decision to head to An-Nur. He was crying and clinging to me for dear life as each wave of vomit came. Me and munir, initially only mildly alarmed started to pack up a few of asyraaf's things with one thought in mind...to head for the hospital. I had to change 3 times before

Last weekend's agenda : Went to the pool at the condo we are staying... Was nice, Asyraaf was excited kicking and going everywhere in the kiddie's pool. I think he was amazed that there were so much water compared to his usual bathing spot...the SINK! LOL... Anyway, this is the second time we went, the first time we didn't bring anything...just stripped asyraaf bare and put him in the swimming

While shopping at The Curve, we ran into free balloons given out to kids...so shamelessly, I went and asked for one for Asyraaf...Wanted to ask another one for myself tapi...teramat malulah pulak...hehehe.Anyhow, fyi this is his first balloon, in addition to all the other firsts; first teeth, first CD, and yada yada yada... But I have never seen a kid 'play' with his balloon with such vengeance

New skill acquired : To sit on the foot pad of the car. It is his new 'car seat' so to speak. *sigh...Getting harder and harder to make him sit still...actually I was the one who wanted to hold him, Munir told me to put him in his seat... so this is the result. He chewed on the leather seat of the car, wiggled his way into sitting on the foot pad. And he sat there for quite awhile I think...fully

Eversince he was big enough to toss and turn and kick and ...(the list can go on)in his bath tub...it has been a TREMENDOUSLY tiring task to bathe him. So Ibu has decided that Asyraaf has to be bathed in a constricted space and given ample distractions... Therefore...taraaa.... New bathing tub for Asyraaf...the SINK...LOL. Tadelah Ibu penat2 bending bila mandikan Asyraaf and no pain the back too.

Last weekend, I cooked porridge with anchovies (bubur ikan bilis), blended it and put a bit of stock with it. Tasted it..uhmm...boleh tahan jugak...huahuahua puji diri sendiri...Then, put his bib on and got ready to feed him with this diet suggested by many friends...hoping it would be a pleasant feeding time like usual. But that is not what happened. This is the chronology of the tragic event..

As a mom...I am definitely nervous...imagine him chewing on ME with all of those to-come-out teeth! I'll be chopped into pieces...well, that's just a teeny bit of exaggeration there LOL....But I do have cousins who say their child bite on them and some of

For the first time in I don't remember how long... I felt how great it was to shop again. Been a long time since the last cry-free and shriek-free shopping time for both me and Munir...We went to T**CO last weekend and got one of the baby seat trolleys there. We are actually not a fan of Tesco's because we usually end up paying more expensively rather than if we buy the same items in other

No wonder people say " Kalau anak lelaki...tengoklah nanti...LASAK...!" I guess that's true...that's what always came to my mind everytime Asyraaf lands himself into trouble, be it stuck in between his cot and yelling for help... or fell head first onto the toto with a thud... or got caught under the sheet and pillows and couldn't free himself out of it...or landed on the mat on the passenger

Asyraaf started quite late for his feeding, I mean feeding aka spoonfed food ie: baby cereal, baby rusks, custards, porridges or etc...I started with Gerber prune extract...and Asyraaf went...Yuckk! :-). Then I tried giving him Nestle Baby cereal rice with milk...and again, he went yuckk! too... After giving up for sometime...I had this determination to make him eat no matter what since he was

We realized Asyraaf can now express his feelings towards us or other people for that matter.
