I should really scan all my doodles. It helps brings back memories from our old days.

Mama, I wanna feeeel the water

One good thing about getting Aidan a bath is that I am able to see his progress. It is the most significant thing to be able to see your baby's growth.

When he was a newborn, he would only lay down on our hand while taking a bath. But I was able to know that he love taking a bath. He did not cry, not a bit. He enjoys the warm water gliding through his body. He loves it when I sing the usual song.
Encik badak minta badan
Encik gajah minta kuat
Encik bangau minta leher
There was no phrase asking for hair, so I created a new phrase:
Encik rambutan minta rambut

Two months old, he could make noise and flap his hands. He still enjoys the bath. One day, we moved back to our home from my mother's house after my confinement ended, because we were rushing, I did not have mood and was too tired.The kettle was a bit rusty to boil some water, so I decided to bath Aidan with cold water. He screamed on top of his lung and cried as hard as he could. He was really cold, but I just did not give any mercy. That time I did not pity him, now I pitied him up to a point I never even bath him with cold water even up until now he is 5 months old. He will only bath with cold water at the baby sitter's house. It is believed that if baby is bathed with cold water, their body becomes stronger, resistant to colds. I believe that too...until I think I should, I will bath Aidan with warm water thank you.

Three months the same, still love bathing. But now he can sit on my feet and hold up his head strongly, and now he gets to learn of his surrounding. He is learning...yep learning I dunno what, but it's there somewhere in his head.

Four months, he knows it's time for bath whenever I pull of his clothes. He gets excited, you can see him flapping around. In the bathroom, he now tried to turn around and touch the water, but I always make sure he sits properly. I don't want the risk to let him fall accidentally. However, I had introduced him to something new at this age. To put one of his feet inside the basin, while I bathe him. I can see he enjoys it.

Five months...it gets funnier. He will make sure his foot is in one of the basin. He know how to lift up his feet and try to put it in now. The other hand will grab the edge of the basin, while the other will try to get hold of the water. His body will bent so round that he doesn't care what happened around him. So concentrated that the doesn't mind I wash his head and the water came pouring down his face. I usually do this cautiously, not wanting to get him surprised or panic. I see now it does not matter.

I love watching him grow up like this. I want to read this again when he is a year old, 5 years, 20 years to remind back how my child grew up.

My Wedding Photos

I asked hubby yesterday, "Have I returned to that shape yet?" (while pointing to our wedding portrait). He scrutinized me up and down and looked back at the picture. "Well..." In my head, dang! This is a definite NO answer. "Well, no and I don't think you'll get back to that size again". A straight answer.

Wedding photos are meant for:
  1. set up target of your ideal body
  2. as a reminder, once you are beautiful
  3. as a reminder, now you are not
an item that should be kept in the basement/stor/cellar/underground/flowerbed after 10 years of marriage.

Ghost Rider 2012...nahhh, I don't think it's dat good

It's just for show, bleahh

The soft heart

This morning, I listened to a tazkirah ni channel 9. The ustaz said that a person who has soften their heart to Allah would want to:
  • donate to those who are in need
  • wakes up late at night for tahajjud
  • zikr and remembers Allah whenever possible
  • feel whole heartedly willing to sacrifice to Allah's virtue
I think my heart has not soften enough.

BITCH SLAP...sooo tempted

Lets be RUDE!

You know what I can't take? Underappreciation. I want to curse like a drunken mad gypsy to the college I am working now. I checked my salary and guess what I see? Well HELLOW to deeduction. RM200 short! What the fucking hell (I wonder if hell fucks to have this kind of idiom). Thank you for your underappreciation boss!

We have this tedious meticulous logins and logout system for classes. EVERY class need to be logged! I just don't see the purpose. The HQ feels by ticking in and out the class verifies lecturer's presence in the classroom. Totally stupid. They are total dorks. Then the admin will verify the lecturers' presence in the classroom - this is by checking the lecturer really in the class - which they normally won't. If you forgot to login or logout a class but the admins verify; you're safe. However, if you did not login or logout the class and the admins did not verify...deduct RM100 per class. So my mistake is to forgot to logout many classes. Yet two classes were not verified. I don't know why they do this, but most probably out of non-consideration. So yeah, deducted RM200 this month.

Essay: If I am an Animal...

Recently, I read about an article about extinct animals. The article is more about the facts about the animals; their features, habitat and the waythey lived. It left me a great impression which fill my heart with great pity to our loss. I feel like I want to save these extinct animals by being one. If I am given a chance and a choice, I would want to be a Dodo bird.

I am a bird with three feet height, flightless, non-colourful grey, and a docile bird. I might be regarded as a big sized chicken. I think the humans would want to roast me during Thanksgiving just like they are doing to the turkeys. I bet this was what happened when my flock still roamed the earth. However, I am going to be different, I am not going to be stuffed and cooked like those ugly turkeys, I am going to be an exclusive bird.

Put Facebook Comment Box in Your Blog

I had such a difficult time to put in the Facebook comment box in my blog. Well, I do not understand html code that much and I have difficulty in making sense of the alien-look-like codes. It drives me crazy. Sort of making me determined to join webmaking class.

However, these are the things that I learnt so far. Hope it could make a useful guidance to you. If you are a dummy like me. (Sort of a dummy advicing another dummy eh).

SINGLE COMMENT BOX
Okay, to put in a single comment box to your blog (mind you not on each post okay) is very simple. Go to Facebook Developer - comment. There you will put in:
  1. Your blog url (make sure this does not refer to post url)
  2. Number of post you want to display. I put in 5, more than that it will colapse to view more
  3. Width of the box - refer to your blog size. make it small if you put it at the gadgets' frame
  4. Choose you colour scheme. Choose dark if your blog has dark background.
  5. There you have it! Click on get code button.

Teach Our Children to Fear Allah

Recently I had listened to IKIM station and it discussed about to teach our children to fear Allah.

The speaker said that there are two types of fear. One is fear because of the feeling of being threathened. Another is fear because of love. Teach our children the latter.

I had been thinking since then, what does it really mean? How do I implement it in my teaching? How do I make my children understand? The answers struck me when I was taking my ablution.

My Super Sandwich!

Mmmmmmmmm!

Last week when I did my usual fortnight shopping in TESCO, I came across a box of alfafa. I remembered alfafa when I was in Australia. We love making alfafa sandwiches with chicken ham. However, chicken ham in Malaysia is not common.

Yet, what is even better was, the alfafa's price was cut half. Yay! This usual happens if the item is yesterday's stock. It doesn't matter to me, I would still consider it a good value for money :D

The time when we were scammed

RM30k+++

It was a horrible day of the horrible week. Not many people know of this. Even family and relatives. We have been keeping it to ourselves. Just me, hubby, hubby's direct family and my direct family. We do not want it to be out in the open mainly because we are ashamed of what happened. Anybody would. I am still feeling ashamed. Somehow I think, we have to tell the public. We are not so sure how it happens but it feels more like the work of black-magic than of rational mind.

Creating sunshine after the storm

It's always sunshine after the rain.

I had a heavy downpour in the last two days. The relationship weather was a storm! More like a hurricane. We were almost stuck to the situation without being able to move to the left or right.

I have been doing some thinking. The real situation here is:

I am starting a learning center

I am very motivated right now to start up a learning center aka tuition center. I prefer for 'learning' instead or 'tuition' because I want it to be as a ground that the students will enjoy learning. The real intention is that, I want to make this business as the fund maker for my real project; Leetle Beetle - a program for kids below 12 to play and learn, where I will organise it at a park; open to public, prepare toys and activities like story telling.

Doa hari ini...

Ya Allah, baikkanlah keberkesanan perbuatanku dalam segal urusan dan selamatkanlah diriku dari kehinaan dunia dan azab akhirat.

Ya Allah, tunjukkanlah aku kepada perkara yang benar itu adalah benar dan pandulah diriku supaya mengikutinya dan tunjukkanlah diriku perkara yang batil itu adalah batil supaya aku meninggalkannya.

If I am angry, calm me down.

I have read somewhere once long time ago about anger. Rasulullah s.a.w. adviced Aisyah r.a to calm him down when he is angry, and he would too calm her down when she is angry. If not, there is no need of the marriage.

I was exhausted up to the point of losing my head. I wass VERY tired and my body is sore because I have to hold up between breastfeeding, holding and patting Aidan to sleep. Everything is sore! I was in the same position for nearly 3 hours managing such stressful situation without a break. Aidan was throwing a tantrum and being very difficult.

Be my 'Awan Nano'

I sort of listened to this song after it was awarded the best in AJL (Anugerah Juara Lagu). I have not listened to it until the end (not even once). So I listened carefully this time. I actually cried. Aaaah! Anything family-bonding related could get me into crying stupor. Especially when I am in a sensitive mode succumbing to pity-me mood.

My Leetle-Beetle Baby

This is Aidan Eusuf
From the first moment I see him, my heart melts. But I always keep in mind that he is the first born, a boy at that, the first in both families. So the eldest among later-to-be-cousins. Imagine later in life when all of us are old, he might be the one families would rely on. So...I am determined to make him into a VERY useful person :D

Medela Freestyle Breastpump...I have ordered!

I have never imagine a breastfeeding gadgets can be so expensive. Normal price is RM2k+. I bought it through my friend which bought it in UK at RM1,350. Everyone must have thought that breastfeeding a baby saves alot since you do not need to buy formula milk. I did too! So now I knew that it can cost thousands. Sigh...I feel my pocket gets emptier.

Google Adsense first check...WHEEEE

After trial and error with Google Adsense, I got it!!! USD115.96. How long I have been trying? Hehehehe...2 years! If you get this check every month you must have thought "this girl is pathetic". I know!!! I feel like that too. After two years?!
My first check from Google Adsense :D
Well I was clueless in the beginning. Sometimes no clicks AT ALL for days. Then a penny showed up then sometimes more than a penny...I have given up honestly. Then I started to do my husband's blog for his marketing purpose. Then the earnings got better as the traffic got better. Wah! I thought I could do it.
I have improved my traffic in a few ways, but one that works best is by Google Adwords. Yep I pay to get paid. Actually, I gain more if I add it up with the amount of customers that bought cars (he sells cars) from my husband, which was the main reason I created the blog anyway. I only pay Adwords RM2.00 per day. That's RM60.00 per month. Okay laaaa. Not so expensive compared to advertising it in the papers n mags.
So now the traffic is good, I get approximately USD23.00 every month. That is about RM71.76. So I get RM10 profit :DD Yeah...I know that's like a healthy sum of cavities. But the effort and the return is so worth it. I feel so happy. (Is this counselling session or whattt?). Now I feel a bit pathetic. I hope I could do better. I am finding ways to do it somehow. So please be my sifu.

P.S: I just knew that if you have foreign check, you need to bank it in at the branch which you made your account. I created mine when I was a toddler at JB(can't even sure the branch is still there), so I created a Melaka branch just for this purpose. FYI

Updates updates! What happened in January

and before January...
Oh my goodness,
How long has it been since I've written anything in my blog. Aaaaanything at all. Since August 2011? Dang! That's like centuries ago. Wow...there are so many updates. Happy stuff, crazy stuff, emotional and sad trashes too. So it's January 2012. The world still lives on even though the Mayans said it's over by now. I am living fit and healthy but here are the 'small' changes since I wrote anything in here:
Aidan Eusuf poring his feeling when being cuddled.
  1. I'm a mommy!!! Yay! My baby boy now is 3m+, Aidan Eusuf. I am soooo not going to count by the days, hours and minutes like mommies usually do. Well, I used to do it too, but I ended up being very lazy and stopped halfway before Aidan even reached 1m. I sometimes feel he has grown too much at a short time. I am wishing he could stay small and cuddly until he's 20...yeah...I know...fat chance...the fattest chance ever :D
  2. I am investing on  breastfeeding gadgets. I am hoping I could BF Aidan until he's 2 yrs old. Good luck to all other mommies and mommies-to-be. I am so jealous of mommies who have succeeded in BFing their child until 2y. Honestly...it is challenging. How much is the investment? RM1350 for a pump. Abah would have a popped eye if he knows this. I never remember Mak use any gadgets, even our bottles are the cheap ones. Good ol days huh.
  3. There's this story I am willing to tell. I hope Hubby allows it to be public. But we were scammed RM30k+++. I am ever so wondering how did we survived all this while. That will have it's own segment :D I want to share as my positive intention to people out there to be careful of scammers. They are the lot that you should stuff garbage up their *** (use your own creative imagination ;P)
  4. What else? What else? Oooooh! This is a must to tell. I am starting a tuition centre. Yep yep. I think I could start and should start anyway. There is not much competition as I see (around Bukit Katil, Melaka). I am hoping to start English lesson for upper forms. Mainly on writing. I want to teach that writing can be so fun!!!
  5. One more stuff! I received my payments from Google Adsense!!! Yahoooooooo! The moment I got the check, I felt like I am soooo capable of being rich (the reality sank in 5 minutes after that...), so I feel I would want to go on with the plan of updating this blog, hubby's blogs (he has two - which I created AND manage for his business, lucky guy eh?)
