it’s times like these;

that i wish i could take away all your pain and make them mine. :’(

حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيْلُ

Allah is sufficient for us; and most excellent is He (who) protects us.

weekend project…checked.
this is a long overdue project but somehow we never manage to get it done. since the parents are visiting soon and we’ll have a long weekend this time, i don’t think we’ll have anymore excuses to procrastinate.

the weekend

 

i received two parcels on friday which were items that i ordered from the net.

that really just kicked off my weekend to a great start. i also discovered that my little baby has started to roll over, alhamdulillah, we were both so excited watching her keep doing it. that alone definitely calls for a little celebration for our little family: we decided to go for a delicious and fulfilling lunch!

favorite dessert: the pavlova.

ah…babies grow up so fast, kan?

You are the;

Peanut to my butter


Twinkle in my eye


Shake to my bake


Blue in my sky


Sprinkles on my sundae


Flip to my flop


Bumble to my bee


Jewels on my crown


Milk to my shake


Spring in my step


Beat of my heart


Love of my life. :)

milestones: 1

the weekend was pretty eventful.

had afnan+izza over for dinner and learnt a new recipe for making fried wantan! i think even the little baby cow was pretty pumped up seeing her uncle and aunt over at our place. haha.

also,

we decided since she has reached 5 months, and looking at how she is, airaa is finally ready to start on solids. it was a very daunting experience, i should honestly say, but after the first bite, she seemed pretty good at it…no making weird faces, no spitting out, no drooling. honestly, she seems really at ease.

of course, it was a bit messy towards the end because she keeps putting the bib in her mouth in between bites. so far she’s eating and pooping well, alhamdulillah.

i can proudly say that my little girl has grown up a little bit more everyday. :’)

ps: oh, and happy new year.

phew!

the most tiring two weeks of my life.

i’ve been assigned to give taklimats to a few institutions in the east coast and with the little girl still breastfeeding, i had to drag my whole little family around. and since it’s the rainy season, i guess the little girl couldn’t take it so she fell sick (flu+coughing).

we came back, but baby wasn’t feeling any better so we couldn’t send her to the nursery. i had to get back to work, so daddy took care of her and worked from home. then, the daddy fell sick too. adoi..

now, baby dah okay a bit and so is ammar. i hope no one’s going to fall sick on me again. it’ll be a three-day weekend, alhamdulillah. hopefully, i’ll have a restful one.

have a great weekend everyone.

“ Man in the early times was almost naked, and as his intellect evolved he started wearing clothes. What I am today and what I’m wearing represents the highest level of thought and civilization that man has achieved, and is not regressive. It’s the removal of clothes again that is regressive back to ancient times. ”

 - Noble Laurette from Yemen, Tawakul Karman. Her reply when a journalist asked her about Hijab and how it is not proportionate with her level of intellect and education,  (via aidayasmin)

“I put my hand on him. Touching him has always been important to me, it was something I lived for. I never could explain why. Little, nothing touches, my fingers against his shoulder, the outsides of our thighs touching as we squeeled together on the bus. I couldn’t explain it, but I needed it. Sometimes I imagined stiching all of our little touches together. How many hundreds of thousands of fingers brushing against each other does it take to make love?”
