Happy Anniversary my love..Theres no words to describe the feeling I feel, yet you know it when you feel it, and I have been feeling it for all these years.. Thank you for being my pillar of strength and positiveness, thank you for being the wonderful friend and companion, thank you for being an excellent father to Kiki and Zarif, thank you for all of life's wonders which you have brought to me..

Happy Valentines Day to my love - Hj Zairul Zubir. Alhamdulillah for Allah's blessings in the form of you.. I happened to listen to this song on the way to work today and how befitting it would be to accompany my wishes of love to you today... and everyday...-----If you say my eyes are beautiful - Whitney Houston & Jermaine Jackson.If you say my eyes are beautifulIt's because they're looking at

Alhamdulillah, another year has come.. I welcome 2012 with hopes and prayers that there will be more good news and happy endings for us all. 2011 was a very challenging year for me and Zairul. It tested our faith in God, our love for each other and our physical strength to be there for each other fully and faithfully.. In 2011, I had DCIS.. Back in February 2011, I was diagnosed with Stage 0

My Father Inlaw decided to organise a family trip to my favourite country - Australia.This time ALL his 5 children, their spouses and ALL his grandchildren, except, Rasyad, the eldest Grandson who is studying in Manchester, all traveled to Perth, on this first ever overseas family trip. We've had several overseas trips but always one family less, this time 99.9% of the family was in Perth at the

Just a thought, just a feeling, just a path paved out by Allah..But thats it, is it just a thought, or a feeling or this path that makes you what you are.. Just a Mummy, just a B to my B, just doing everyday stuff and hoping life will always take the better course..But from where I am sitting waiting to meet Zairul for a movie, nothing is just "a-just" moment.Everything has a reason. I am blessed

We spent our end of year holidays at Avillion PD.. It was Zarif's first holiday and first sand and sea experience.. It was Kiki's idea to go for a beach holiday and as always her wish was her Babah's command.. not to mention her Tok's too.. Sunset @ Avillion PD - 24 Dec 2010 Zarif enjoyed his dip in the pool. Kiki and her beloved Babah.Sandcastles on the beach. Little Ms Kiki playing in the sand.

Sheila cancelled her Jakarta concert.. bummer.. BUT it was actually a blessing in disguise.. The trip to Jakarta, minus Sheila's concert AND Kiki's concert, turned out to be a reunion of sorts.. a fantastic time-out, short and sweet, full of pornographic conversations, eye winking to young cute immigration officers, short bouts of "kalutness", short dramas, mouthwatering Indonesian food, near

Alhamdulillah, yesterday at exactly 8.35am I turned 35..As I reflect on all the things that have happened in the past 35 years, and all the experiences, the hardships and happy times, I can't help but feel absolutely blessed. All the experiences have made me who I am, changed the way I think, how I react to situations, and how much I value everything I already have around me.To carve this in

Zarif's Aqiqah Ceremony was held on 2 January 2010. I was certainly the busiest person on the earth that day.. and I felt as if I was marrying Zarif off instead of celebrating his birth!!But it was all worth it.I could not have done it without the help of my dearest friends, family, the maids, and especially my darling Zairul.. Thank you! Alhamdulillah.

Alhamdulillah, we celebrate 8 years of life together today..Its been a lovely long 'adventure' for me and reaching this long in times where marriages don't last, makes me feel extremely blessed and that all the sacrifices n compromises were all worth it.I love you Sayang.

A few unfortunate events that have occurred (and a couple soppy movies) has left me thinking.. How long more? When will "that" day come? Who's next?The more I think of it the more it makes me worried, sad, afraid and panicky. Even after numerous times of playing and re-playing that "Jangan Bersedih" CD in the car everyday, I still am affected by the thought.I know we all belong to Him, I know

8 years ago on 15 November 2001, my dear Zairul proposed to me.He told me to dress up that day and took me out for fine dining at an Italian Restaurant at Hotel Istana (the restaurant doesn't exist anymore, I think). He told me it was to celebrate 10 months of our exciting relationship.I was so excited at this once in a lifetime experience. I actually went all the way to doing my hair and

The last weekend was really hectic. We had so many invites to so many open houses but only managed a third of the invitations. Not only were the distances far from one place to the other, plus the jam, the toilet stops, the naps, the feeding and crankiness all joined together.. Penat..For the start of the weekend, I managed to meet up with 2 very dear old friends, Najah and Shima, for breakfast

I've been trying to figure out what is wrong with the camera, and in that pursuit I have been taking so many photos but none turned out the way I'd like them to be. But among those that I snapped, these 2 were my favourite although the quality is still not good.. Guess we need to either send the camera to be fixed or get a new one huh?

Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it?Well the past week has been both hectic, fun and painful.. Hectic because I was trying to get used to the new routine of being a mother of 2 children, fun because now we have a baby to play with and painful - physical pain and sleep deprivation..Anyways, here are some pictures of baby Zarif who is 1 week old today..

I was shocked to wake up to such sad news of the sudden passing of a music legend. I may not have been the most loyal fan i.e. not buying ALL his albums but I certainly memorised probably 95% of his songs.I grew up listening to his songs and watching my siblings dance to his moves. I never judged him even though lots of vicious gossips were spread about him. I just loved his songs.. My secret

Zairul and Nellie organised a simple and beautiful Baby shower for me on Sunday. I still have a smile on my face when I remember the do. I was simply beautiful. Nell posted about it on her blog, click here to see the post which Nell wrote.Thanks B, for organising.Thanks Nell, for planning and orchestrating the whole do.I love you both for making me really happy that day.

This eye-tearing email came through to me today, as if "someone" up there is reminding me to be thankful for being able to experience being a mom. "Being A Mother"by Dale Hanson BourkeWe are sitting at lunch when my daughter casuallymentions that she and her husband are thinking of"starting a family." "We're taking a survey," she says,half-joking. "Do you think I should have a baby?""It will

Today marks the day I have dreaded for the past few months.. the day my "right-hand" woman a.k.a my maid, Mar, goes home for good. She's been with us since 2004 and has cared for me and my family, actually the whole family (my inlaws). But the most important years was those with Syakirah.She took excellent care of Syakirah. Bathing, feeding, playing, putting Syakirah to sleep and nursing her back

I sometimes wonder if being sentimental is a crime??? ...I've always been the kind to carefully keep my things in pristine conditions, pack it nicely and arrange it in a box, all labelled and marked properly.. So that in ten years to come, when I need it again, it will be EXACTLY where I kept it and hopefully in the same mint conditions.I remember my first bad experience for being sentimental and

On Tuesday I traveled to Kemaman with Zairul for a meeting at the Oil Based Mud Terminal in Kemaman. While I was having the meeting, Zairul was enjoying himself at Pantai Kemasik..However, on the way to Kuala Terengganu, we received very sad news of the death of Nadia's father, Uncle Yusop. The grief faced by Nadia and her family is unimaginable. Now Yat would need to be her pillar of strength

5 years ago, we lost our first son.Initially the loss was not so evident because we didn't have any experiences having kids of our own.But now after having Syakirah and watching her grow, I can't help but dream and wonder, what it would be like having my 2 boys around.Happy Birthday my dear Muhammad. I know you're in a better place. We're all ok. We just miss you.All our love, Mummy and Babah.-

It happened along the main road in Kelana jaya yg depan FAM tuhh, near the SS3 Mosque.This minah, nak turn right towards SS4, she was looking left for oncoming cars, tak tengok kanan.We horned and thought she'd stop but she didnt, by the time she realised we all dah dekat sangat and tak sempat stop,

Oh Kiki.. I wish I knew how it was to be the perfect mum to you.As I sit here in the office thinking of you and all I have done for you or done to you, I feel like crying and wanting to erase and do things back again. Correcting whatever mistakes and making right whatever I think I did wrong.Now that I'm pregnant, sometimes it gets quite overwhelming for me. Even doing simple things get harder to

Our dear little BJ was mauled by 5 stray dogs in the compounds of our home yesterday. It will be difficult to look for a new cat with an excellent personality like little BJ. May BJ rest in peace in heaven with Yoba and Lucy.

Last Friday I had to undergo a minor surgery at Pantai Medical Centre to stitch up my cervics to help strengthen the pregnancy. I must apologise to most of my friends whom I did not inform and were shocked to hear of it either after or on the day of the surgery. I didnt want to make a big deal out of a mole-hill, so I didnt tell many people.However, since the day of the surgery coincided with my

Zairul and I didnt plan anything for Valentine's this year because:First, Zairul had already pre-bought me a present for V-Day, our anniversary and my birthday last December; Second, we'll be spending our anniversary at the hospital with a big fat hospital bill so we opted to skip the "celebrations"; Third, V-Day is a weekend - things would be really expensive and ultimately packed with lots of

So far the END of the year has been filled with lots of joyous occassions, despite the fact that I am down with 24-hour morning sickness and that Rasyad is down with mumps and Man is away in Abu Dhabi, the family has still managed to squeeze in weddings and parties to end 2008 with a BANG!!The year end celebration started with the marriage of Farhan and Daliya on Christmas Day..Later that night,

This year's Ramadhan has gone by pretty fast and I'm trying to wonder why. Maybe it's because, everyday I reach home at about 5.30pm, and it's just enough time to take a quick shower, pray and entertain Syakirah. By the time you know it, its time to go for Terawih and when I get back its already time to put Syakirah to bed. So its been for the past 2 weeks.I am actually not a fan of buka

Last Wednesday my friends, Nell & Linda celebrated their birthdays at a lovely restaurant, Aliyaa.Kiki had to come with us to the party and so this was her first experience to night life.. I swear I thought I saw lots of eyes popping out of peoples heads when they saw me waltz in with a two year old at a "club" like place.. No worries, think Kiki enjoyed it because she didnt complain at all..
