Like most working moms, early mornings can be pretty hectic. There’s breakfast to be prepared even if it means a simple peanut butter & jelly sandwich, lunch to be packed for the school going kid and school uniform and working attires to be ironed (which ideally should be done during the weekend -but somehow, I always … Continue reading »
New Look
You know you haven’t blogged in a while when most of your favorite sites on the blogroll have either their accounts suspended, moved to a new address or replaced by “mahu artis seksi?” “gambar hangat” creepy sites. Speaking of favourite blogs, I think I’ve found new blogs to ‘stalk’. Most of them are already popular … Continue reading »
The Climb
It’s been slightly over 2 months since Rayyan was born, so I’m waaaay over my confinement and should assume that my internals are ‘business as usual’. However, I’m still feeling a bit weird, like a tad wobbly (?) inside if I move too quickly or up and about without the support of my bengkung, so … Continue reading »
To Swaddle or Not
Most newborns are swaddled (dibedong). Very rarely we see them ‘hang loose’. I didn’t really understand the need for swaddling when I had Tasha six years ago other than to ‘straighten’ her legs. Now, as superstitious (read: kuno) as that sounds, how many of you swaddle your babies for this particular reason? I guess it … Continue reading »
Not So Ideal Pantang..
I’m currently on day 34 of my confinement, or pantang in our Malay tradition, which leaves me ten days before I can rejoice my freedom. But somehow, deep down, I don’t feel that I deserve to celebrate. Why? Well to be honest, I have NOT been observing my pantang as strictly as I should, as … Continue reading »
New Addition
I should really be more disciplined and fill my blog entries more consistently. Not that anybody’s reading them… but, at least I have something to do other than expressing milk and changing diapers. Oh yes, THAT. Tasha’s got a new baby brother! His name is Rayyan, which in Arabic has several meanings -satisfaction, luxuriant and … Continue reading »
Attempting To Be A Domestic Goddess
Like most of my peers (er, just one person actually) who are following this 30-day writing challenge, I am NOT adhering to it dutifully. While I’d like to blame it all on my hectic life schedule, heck, I’ll just be honest and say that the lazy-bone in me is much stronger than my desire to … Continue reading »
Life’s a Struggle
Do you remember when we were kids in primary school, every now and then the class teacher would distribute a form or a small booklet asking us students what we wanted to be when we grow up? I remembered looking around at my friends’ ambitions and saw that the popular occupations were always chosen first -’doktor’, … Continue reading »
Hate ‘Em Dumb Blonde Moments..
Alright, day 2 of the 30-day writing challenge requires me to share with you the thing that I regretted not having done last year. Oh, that’s easy -not letting the others see, or double check, the flight time of our trip to the UK!!! Arggghhhh!!! I still have the urge to hurl myself against the … Continue reading »
30-Day Challenge
Blogging to me is just a hobby, so I only write as and when I feel like it. But for more avid bloggers, or those who make it a point to post their entries on a daily basis, knowing what to write about can be challenging at times. As the new year has just begun, … Continue reading »
