Afif at 26 Months

Wow. As i looked at the title of this post, it hit me that Afif is 26 months already. i used to be the kind of person who goes "Hishhh.. Ape la kira umur anak ikot bulan. Cakap je la 2 tahun or 2 tahun setengah!" But he's not really 2 years and belom pon lagi 2 tahun setengah. So nak jugak tulis 26 bulan baahaha.. Alhamdulillah my baby is growing up happily and accordingly. Picky Eater i've...

The Story

Been listening to this song over and over again these past few weeks. It's an old song but mannnn.. Berhantu. Maybe it's because it's December. Mr. Chenta's and my birthday. The anniversary of our dating years. The anniversary of our wedding. All in one month.   "Oh because even when I was flat broke You made me feel like a million bucks You do, I was made for you You...

Sneeze Fest

The past 3 days have been challenging. Came down with flu and non-stop sneeze fest on Monday afternoon. Sampai rumah terus melepet sampai malam. Mr. Chenta pepandai la jaga Afif aku dah takleh bangon. Tuesday morning i woke up with an awful throb in my head, a fever and a nose full of snot that i could barely breathe without my mouth hanging open. Tissue papers full of snot around me. Not a...

Bun in the Oven: Round Two

As the title suggests, i'm PREGNANT, peeps! Been meaning to blog about it for a while but mannn tak terkejar dek jari jemari ku. Alhamdulillah. We're overjoyed by this! Truthfully, ikot hati memang dah lama nak baby lagi. Sebabnya aku slalu rindu time pregnant. Umur pon nak masuk 3-series tahun depan. Tapi memikirkan dlu aku c-sect so cam lek ah duluuu.. Another main reason why we waited...

i Want to Touch a Dog.. Or Maybe Not

Again, after the Octoberfest issue, Malaysians are shook with another religion/cultural sensitive issue. To be honest, when i saw the promo for "i Want to Touch a Dog" event, i was tempted. Because to be honest, i like them dogs, especially the ones that looks like fox. Siberian husky is it? And another one is Shiba Inu. So fluffy, so cute, so loyal and so friendly (at least that's how they...

A Little Update

i seriously miss blogging. The past two months have been eventful that i hardly have time to write. Work is crazy. personal life is also crazy. In a nutshell: 1) Shaf Got Engaged - My bestfriend, Shaf, got engaged to her boyfriend Shafiq! The bride-to-be & i Please please notice that i'm wearing my wedding skirt. Happy mak sebab still muat walopon ketat sket. Muahahaha  Bestfriends...

Overly Attached Son

Anak bujang.. Memang orang kata sangat manja dengan mama dia. Afif pon. Memang manja memang clingy dengan aku. Tapi manja dan clingy dia tak la over possessive. Dia tak kisah pon kalo aku main or bermesra dengan baby lain. Or so i thought. Until last Wednesday. Hubs' best friend, Faiz and Shila together with the cute Ayra datang beraya. i though Afif and Ayra could get along well like they...

Ramadhan Rants

Awal Ramadhan tahun ni sedih sikit untuk aku. Pertamanya sebab ketiadaan suami terchenta. Seperti yang telah aku bebelkan di post-post sebelum ni, Mr. Chenta kene gi outstation. Tapi syukur yang amat, hari ketiga puasa dia kembali ke pangkuan keluarga dah. Wiwiwi.. Keduanya yang sedih adalah sebab aku celebrate first day Ramadhan kat hospital. Yup. Kat hospital, uols. Buka pon makanan hospital....

A Bit Emotional Today

i'm sure most of you have heard about adik Muhammad Firdaus Dullah yang ditinggalkan dalam keadaan teramat kotor dan teramat kurus kering. Ya Allah bila aku nampak snippet berita itu di Facebook memang berair mata aku. Tak sanggup tengok video yang di-upload. Anyway, i'm not here to judge or bash the mom. Biar lah keyboard warriors dan masyarakat umum memaki dia di serata Malaysia. Yes, what she...

LDM Day 16

This long distance marriage thing is no kidding. Maaf lah i'm a bit whiny in this post. Ni first time berjauhan ngan suami. Memang aku meroyan sket. First there's this i-miss-my-husband issue. It feels so strange not being able to call him at work just because i want to call him. Because he's always on the plane, we can't promptly reply each other's Whatsapp. Our Whatsapp thread looks a bit...

Afif's Hearing Journey

As you probably know, Afif is hearing impaired. After a long time of pondering, i have created a blog to specifically record his journey to sounds, to hear and listen and his journey to speak and talk.  The blog is fairly new. i have lots of ideas for it but being a working mom, memang tak banyak masa la terluang untuk edit blog. Pelan-pelan kayuh la. Hopefully, parents of deaf or hard-to-hear...

Halfway Around The World

Last two weeks my husband came home from work and told me an unusual news; he has to go outstation. Unusual because in his line of work, there's rarely chance to travel. Naturally i was excited for him. He, on the other hand, was not. He's worried about Afif and i as he's supposed to take a long time off work to look after Afif. Dia kata kesian nanti aku kene jaga Afif sorang. Bless...

New Friend

The past week has been a bit of emotional whirlwind for me. Having blessed with a hearing impaired child, i'm never at ease. Most days are fine. Some days i'm in despair, panic attack, guilt.. i worry a lot. i have so many questions. When will Afif talk? What if Afif can't talk? Will his future be okay? Can he make friends? Can he go to normal school? More questions than i (or even his therapist)...

Reality Check

Semalam macam biasa lah aku balik keje naik train. Terhegeh-hegeh berjalan dengan 5-inch heels aku ni. Macam biasa jugak lah dalam train memang kebarangkalian nak dapat tempat duduk memang sangat kecil. Tak la jugk kesah sebab dah biasa berdiri.  So there i was, minding my own business, playing with my phone, berdiri mengadap passanger yang duduk. Tiba-tiba.. "Dik.. Nak duduk?" tegur...

Slow

Boleh tak aku nak kata aku stress dengan keje? Haih. Tahun baru ni, opis baru ada re-org. New boss. New task. New experience. Tapi ntah la. Aku rasa macam lagi kurang keje. Aku harapkan dapat technical work seperti buat static model ke, buat well proposal ke. Tapi setakat almost 2 bulan yang aku dah start keje ni, keje aku adalah kumpul data, review report orang, compare itu ini. Haih. Stress...

My New Baby

For those who know me, they know that i love to shop. Heck, pompuan mana lah tak suka shopping kan? Kikiki.. Tapi sebenarnya those who knows me know that sebenarnya aku ni kedekut. Truthfully, aku takda designer shoes. Bag mahal pon ada satu je, itu pon beg hantaran yang laki aku bagi. Mini Stam by March Jacobs tu dah dua tahun aku usha. Nak beli, sayang duit. Bukan tak mampu weh tapi duit beriban...

Toddler Activity: Bathroom Painting

Ok so Afif loves the iPad. i came to realize that after two mornings of him getting up and out of bed and point the iPad at me. Now before you bash me, don't worry. It's not an addiction yet. Setakat ni tak pernah la lagi dia mengamuk tantrum kalo tak dapat. Phew phew.. But yaa.. Of course we have to plan stuff for him to vary his activities. Mainan banyak tapi kejap-kejap main dia bosan. Dia suka...

Weekend in Kuantan

Last weekend, we went to Kuantan. Main objective is to attend my cousin Allan's akad nikah and wedding reception. Secondary objective is to jalan-jalan makan angin. Wahhh mampu ko siap ada primary secondary objective bagai.. Patotnya nak bertolak Jumaat pagi.. Tapi kene gi klinik audiologi plak nak betulkan setting hearing aid Afif sebab dia suka tarik-tarik. 2 jam jugak lah baru settle. Kami...
