~ Triple Celebrations ~

May has its own significance to our family because of the triple celebrations during this month. There were Mother's Day (8th May) for me, Teacher's Day (16th) for hubby and the 3rd Anniversary (17th May) for both of us!

I took a day off on Monday so I got my weekend extended to Tuesday but since hubby is working in Kedah he had to go to work on Sunday & Monday. Besides, as a teacher he surely wanted to attend his big day at school right? 

It's kind of a tradition for both of us to have a vacation on our special day. We celebrated our 1st anniversary in Kuching, the second one in Cameron Highland, but this time we couldn't go far due to time constraint so we decided to go to Penang and stay at the same hotel during our honeymoon! A revisit to a memory lane but this time with a son in tow.

We got our quick getaway and had a blast and feeling grateful for God has given us the opportunity to last this long. We both prays that we will last forever, insyaAllah..

Sunset..

The two boys that I adore so much!

~ 3rd Anniversaries ~

Love is in the air!
Dearest Hubby..

Many say men only like pretty girls
Yet you still choose me to be your lifetime partner

Some say men will not understand women
Yet I find you are the only one who knows me best

They say men always show less loving
Yet I can see your love always showing through your eyes

People say men will change after marriage
Yet I find you are the same person whom I knew since our first date

Happy 3rd Anniversaries to both of us! I love you more everyday. Thanks for sticking up with me for the past 3 years and being a wonderful companion through thick and thin! I know I am not a perfect wife but so grateful that you accept me for who I am. Lets grow old together, muaaaahhhhhh!


I still love this song!
p/s: Getting older has made me lost touch of my creative side of the brain, do ignore if the poem is not romantic enough :)

~ Looonnnggg Weekend ~

Ammar's 1st swimsuit!
Long weekend means more time with family! Hubby and I decided to go to The Carnivall in order to expose Ammar to his 1st experience with water park and he didn't like it very much. Maybe he was so sleepy it was during his nap time. The place was not really happening and a bit dirty but since it was less than 10 minutes away from home so we gave it a try, definitely a big NO in future. We stayed for about 3 hours mostly not in water but just taking pictures. 

He almost fall asleep..

The only interesting part was the trampoline bungee jumping, hubby and I took turn trying it and Ammar frantically cried when he saw me and later hubby jumping on the trampoline! Mesti dia ingat mama / babah nak tinggal dia lompat ke outerspace tak turun dah!

I managed to snap some good pictures of hubby doing somersault in the air but he didn't. I only got ugly pictures of me attempting to do somersault but failed. I got the right technique on the last attempt and finally spinning in the air but no picture was taken, damn! It was a good experience.

Yippee!

~ Brain Exercise ~

I suck at waking up in the morning because it usually takes a couple of snooze buttons from several alarm clocks to really makes me awake. I have two alarm clocks on my bedside table plus my cellphone alarms (one is the general alarm on iphone and another one is a downloaded application). In total I have 4 alarms to do the job of waking me up daily but the most effective one that does wonder is the Freaky Alarm. This is how my morning kicks off (by the way, the two alarms on the table are usually turned off by hubby since he needs to be at work before 7.30 am which is earlier than me):-

When the alarm goes off, I have to select reply.. Even if I select close, the buzz won't stop!
This screen appears and imagine doing this when you are not fully awake.. Ooh sometimes the request is in ascending order!
If I made it in the previous screen this one will appear. It's not easy to tap because these shapes are actually moving!
Later I need to do the maths, arghhhhh!!
Maths again, and I don't have calculator with me plus my brain is not fully working..
Haha, this actually happens to me daily! Need to restart again, annoying right?!
The flow goes on and on until I answer everything correctly and finally the buzz will be off. I could not memorize the questions since they are never the same. However annoying this is, I have to endure it twice in the morning because I set the alarm to go off at 6.20 am and 6.30 am! I swear to get an iphone with  this alarm for Ammar when he starts school, he will be genius in no time doing mathematics using this cheap USD0.99 application!

By the way, this is the demo:

~ A Sensitive Issue ~


Ready for the stage!
Finally the CEO visit happened today and choir was performed after months of training in between busy E-Filing duties and extremely heavy workload. But I still has uneasy feeling about today.. 

Lega.. dah abeh!
Notice that I wear tudung for this event? I was asked by my superior to wear one so uniformity could be formed. The funny part today was most colleagues (obviously not from choir team) were suprised with my appearance on stage and thought that I have got hidayah to change. At a certain extent, a colleague which I don't really close to came and hug me saying I looked good wearing tudung and wishing I would stay this way.  

I received lots of compliment and wishes from men and women for the whole day but they kind of made me feel uneasy. They assume I would wear tudung even after today which I don't really planning to, for now. Do they expect me to start wearing tudung based on compliment? Do I need to change because people said I'm prettier wearing ones? Do I need to take this as a hint I should change now?

No, I won't because it is not a faith nawaitu to start with. I will change someday but for now I'm not going to be hypocrite because my heart is not 100% on this. When the day finally has come, I pray that I will be a better person and be a good muslimah forever. Amin.

One day, InsyaAllah..

Tomorrow morning will be weird, I'm sure will get lots of teguran because I'd appear wearing none.

~ Restless Mind ~

Things that have been on my mind for the past few days:

I want to achieve my goal to breastfeed Ammar until he turns 2 years old
- My milk production is getting lesser by the day

I want to be able to leave office at 5pm daily
- I have so many works to do, it'll be impossible

I want to start eating healthily so I can lose some weight
- Work stress plus emotional meltdown regarding Ammar health issues and breastfeeding problems are not helping

I want to be a better person and stop thinking bad about other people
- We always think people offence us in some ways but we don't realize certain people might also get offended by us

I want to spend more time with hubby
- We both are so busy and I miss our weekly movie dates, etc

I want Damon to be with Elena..
- Yes, this series (both book and tv) affect me BIG time!
