# Mr. presented his thesis this morning, insyaAllah this will be the finale of his Thesis Saga. # Doctor said I cannot be pregnant for another 3 more months to let my womb heal properly. By then, Aisya will be exactly 2 years old. # After attending Twins of Faith 2014 last weekend, I'm getting even more thirsty for more knowledge. The iman...

I've read that there are 3 options in handling miscarriage: 1. Let it happen naturally 2. With the help of Misoprostol Pills - which is also used for abortion 3. Dillation & Curretage procedure (D&C) "Can I let it happen naturally?" I asked the first time. "You can. But it will be messy. With lots of blood. You need to be near the...

"The baby's size didn't grow much from the last time. It seems that it has stopped growing…" "There's no blood vessels coming into the fetus…" "The heart has stopped beating…." All the time the doctor was saying this throughout the ultrascan, me and Mr. only said "Oh…ok…ok…" "Did you fell down?" the doctor asked. "No.." I said. "Have you been eating well?" she...

A week to go until I'm 3 months preggy, oh my, time flies! Suddenly I'm left with another 6 more months to pop! Last night, Mr. was away for his office project lesson learnt event in Port Dickson. So I decided to stay over my parents place in Subang. My father wanted to get a haircut in Pyramid and I decided to tag...

When I first received the email on this 'Mental Health Illness' forum that will be conducted by my company, I was shocked to see the fact that 1 in 4 people are affected by this illness. The first thing that came out of me my mouth was "Come on, is that right? 1 in 4??" and this was in a meeting room, just...

Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life, Such an inspiring quote. Making me question even more of what my plan is for the future.  I now that I should be contributing something to the society with what I do but somehow I don't feel like I'm achieving that with working in this corporate world. The office politics...

Once upon a time ago, when we were discussing about when we should be ready for No.2, I told Mr,  "When Aisya is two years old... Then they will be 3 years apart! That will be PERFECT! "  Mr. however said "No.. I think when Aisya is one...," Then I said, "No... its too early.. she'll be too small, not having enough love...

It has been 5 nights since the last success story of weaning off Aisya. She still remembers sometimes and still comes up to me and say "Aww..Aww... See?" (Asking if she can see). And everytime I have to tell her that it is painful and then she forgets about it. Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for making this much easier for both of us....

After the tiring episode during the 1st night, we've decided to try out a different method. Aisya fell asleep in the car on the way back from Subang Parade, so putting her to sleep was not a problem. "Okay so tonight, I will sleep outside ok?," I told Mr. We discussed a little bit more on how to tell her that I'm not...

We've decided to wean off Aisya. So tonight, when she woke up, hoping to nurse back to sleep, I had to tell her that "you're a big girl now" and she just kept on crying and crying. It was a battle. She kept on pulling my top and pushing away her bottle and I had to keep on distracting her with her favourite...

It has been two nights straight that Aisya sleeps at 9pm and wakes up around 8am. But last night, she decided to wake up around 10pm and walked aimlessly out of the room and joined me and Mr watch 'Kusinero Cinta' on Astro Mustika... still in that sleepy mode. And then, she started reading and asking for the cheesecake that I was enjoying..Back...

Aisya's first flight experience - Sydney May 2013 Ever since Aisya was 3 months-old, she has been on a number of flights. Our recent trip to Jakarta sums up to a total of 9 trips  (18x experience onboard with return flights). These days, I've been getting a lot of questions like 'how is it like travelling when Aisya was 3 months', 'how do you...

Me and Mr are in this new spirit to start waking up early. Because we believe that that should be the right islamic way. We usually sleep late settling Zaahara's work. So instead, we try to: Sleep early, wake up early, tahajjud, do Zaahara work in the morning, solat subuh and then start preparing for the day. Of course when I say 'we'...

Image from: myworld-natalie.blogspot.com Being a mom, you're always at that crossroads between two thoughts: 1. Should I be staying home and focus on bringing up my child? 2. Should I be working instead? No matter which path we choose, we will always be questioning whether the grass is greener on the other side. You know why? Because we have a CHOICE. Being the breadwinner...

Here's a pic of us (including cranky Aisya who just got up from sleep) after dinner with Tante Debby from Jakarta at Hadramawt Restaurant in Jalan Ampang. This is how our weekends are being spent sometimes. Meeting potential business opportunities. Keeping up the ties with them. If can, we schedule these meetings during the weekends. If not, after office hours.  Weekends are when...
