friday ramblings

my son can now perform du'a makan on his own, well apparent to his version of course, a two year old.


"owoh huma bayyik nana, mima atana, kinna, aja bana..amin" ahahahaha, i was all in mushy mushy teary eyes. it was just so simply pure and i gave him big hug for the deed. Also sometimes whenever he remembers, he'll said 'am-du-yi-yahhh" when he sneezes. Cute! (or at least I think so :p) Mommy loves you son, above all the world offers me.

bile adam nak dapat adik ni?

too adorable she is.

Those are the frequent most favorable Q i foresee nowadays.

No one can answer that question except for us, and boy, is it a tough one. YES.

Some say it's even harder than deciding whether to have a first child — because you're not just talking about having a baby, you're talking about changing a family.

With each new child one have to think about how that baby will affect your lifestyle, FINANCES especially, work, relationships, and, of course, your other kids. And if you listen to the word on the street, growing your family by one means more than double the work for Mom and Dad. There are just so much. Plus, i'm also planning to further studies and i cannot afford juggling assignments and baby both at the same time. Both requires 150% attention. No kidding.

So me and hubs had our pillow talk moment to ourselves regarding this. We talk (deep), brought up all the acquaintances..Adam will turn 3 next year. Hubs said "oh look at him. i see him as a tiny baby still, belum puas lagi bemanja dgn Adam".. i then replied, "sayang, he'll forever be a baby at heart".. and we're 28! *_*

And what i concerned most, once a second child is born, i would feel guilty that i can no longer spend as much time with Adam. Fortunately children receive attention and learn from each other. Will i be able to cope? Can i deliberate my role well? Hmm..

Oh well.. it was only quarter through and we both fell fast asleep. to be continue then..

ps: i want pink *hint* :p

what color?

a once held conversation between a husband and beloved wife

japan quake: to ponder upon

The 8.9 magnitude quake indeed touched my heart in many ways. the entire world went shocked by the massive quake strikes the coast of japan causing devastating damages, tsunami, and very recent radioactive heat crippled. too much to swallow. Thousands of people were left dead or missing. Heart-wrenching seeing the people seeking for food to strives hunger and shelter to keep warm.

Thank to Allah, my dear bff dena, cousin ida & hubby, ca, and murni & family were safe and unharmed from the disaster amid how devastated it was. May Allah continue giving them strength to survive the coming quake (Japan has forecast more aftershocks quake).

I am nobody to comment on what the mother nature has done. All i wanted to share is about the pride and dignity the Japanese posses at all time unlikely to the Malaysian. Too sad. From the pictures being reported on tv, I often wonder, how do the Japanese cope to such catastrophe. How can they be so calm?  Unlike other disasters where the world has observed looting, rioting and public outbursts of sorrow and rage, its people standing patiently for hours in orderly lines for a few bottles of water and food.

From my humble reading, according to Kyung Lah, of CNN, "At stores across the city, long straight lines of Japanese tsunami victims queeing for rations. No one is directing these lines; they're organized by the people themselves. No pushes whatsoever. At the front, which takes hours to get to in some cases, shoppers are limited to 10 food or beverage items. No complaints, no cheating. He further added, When asked what happens if the city does run out of bottled water supplies, Maki states simply, "What can we do?"

The image of Malaysians pushing and shoving one another on the "Lori Beras Terbalik" incident came into picture. Pathetic. 

Emperor Akihito quoted claiming "These world leaders also say their citizens are impressed with how calm the Japanese people have remained, how they are helping each other and how organized they are. I think it is important that we share the difficult days and overcome this disaster,"

Furthermore,

Robert Emmet, a British Expat said from one of the tweet, "Apart from it being eerily quiet, things are still everything seems to be normal in Tokyo. Everyone is very calm here, there is no sense of panic."

See... the Japanese potrays a very good example of a civilized society. Of course the Japanese are hurting from what had happened, but they are mourning quietly. I personally believe, the Japanese will soon regain and slowly picking up the momentum.

in light for a new hope

This entry is just my humble point of view.

taste

holla..holla..long hiatus, no? dreadful december i must say.. the past couple of weeks haven't exactly been a joy ride to the seaside. work, life, jitters to worries etc etc.. pfft.. when the ordinary meets different pathway, life gets curvy at point. not a cup of tea. anyhow, things are bound to get better, aite? insyaAllah.

i took 2 days off since adam's babysitter applied for leave and left no one else to take charge of the little fella. not that i trusted them. the leave somehow was less favorable since loads of works awaits. the end-year urgencies. somehow, pave my way to the office on friday and had to drag adam along, on which surely that was the last resort i could think of. only if i were given twos, i would rather not to bring him to the office. no point, at least from my view. couldn't contributed much when a super active baby dwell for your attention.

see what i meant? he got to sit on my chair, immersing himself in comfy-ness and started re-arranging papers, painting my files, unlock the cabinet (behind).. *mommy went head scratches*

towards noon, i gave up! better not stay long for fear conjuring more dismantled state of mind..so i quickly pack and decided for lunch date with mom. the taste.. new cafe opened few months back here in bangi, and to my content, receive a place at heart. am talking about anticipation! i'm not talking about any lavish neither exclusive. instead, it's a more home-taste food with nice ambience and simply satisfying for a simple dining. me and mom decided to give it a try. plus the little rascal of course.

it's blue and brown. classy.

how cool is that, huh?

the little fella drooling for fooood!

newly developed skill - self leaning to get out of the chair.

large portion of my marinara spaghetti served with garlic bread. close to perfect.

well, i forgotten to snap mom's meal. it was chicken mushroom something something.. *short term memory loss*..the serving was pretty quick, neat, simple, and inspiring. can come back for another spoon. :)
