happy monday to all..
Nov 30th
Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha.. hope its not too late too wish..
I actually wanted to write another post last thurs too wish, but was tied up.. left office at around 8, i went back straight to pick up one at home, pack our stuffs and off to my moms place.. we reach there at around 10++..
anyways how was ur raya? ours was great..
friday was full of makan2.. morning my mom made rendang, kuah kacang & lemang also meehun (she had an order to cater for rendang & mihun for 50 people, so made extra for the house as well).. When everybody when was raya prayers, i was the only left home, with the 2, hehe.. bedal laa apalg.. my moms rendang is my fav! yums yums.. lunch we went to my couz (kak nun) place, she served nasi dagang.. then to my uncles place, he also wanted to serve rice, but everybody was full… after that back to my moms.. dinner rendang.. utk habiskan.. peluang keemasan.. huhu..
Saturday was the korban day.. As always one, iman, Abah and Nadhrah went early to the mosque to help.. and also this time we bought sebahagian of the lembu, for Aqilah’s aqiqah..I had to wait for Aqilah to wake up n siapkan dia dulu, while waiting helped my mom to clean up the hse..
hi.. awal2 pagi lagi nadhrah dah ikut tok pegi masjid tau.. ni pun tok yg paksa nadhrah ambik gambar, kacau nadhrah tgh sibok potong lembu ni.. rajin tak? hehe..
letih dh.. minum jap..
yeay! mama dh dtg..! Nadhrah nak gi padang main buai, mama!..
mama.. abah mana, mama?
tu abah.. nampak tak baju biru bwh khemah kedua (dr belah kiri).. bukan bangla yg duduk kat kerusi tu ye..
Aqilah(sebutannye a-chi-yah) buat apa mama? tgh tgk Kak Nadhrah main swing swing…
(sambil menyanyi.. buai laju-laju… mmg mcm radio buruk.. ulang2 tanpa henti.. tak penat2..)
ps: ni adalah dialog betul ye bukan rekaan.. tapi betul2..
hope it will be happy for you guys.. Mine is not so good, i came late to office this morning.. have headache! patutnye puasa.. tapi terbantut.. aduhai..
dream to be working-at-home-mom [part 2]
Nov 26th
dream dream dream.. hmm.. indahnye kalau boleh sambung titun terus..
hari ni terbangun lmbt, alarm hp dh bunyi pukul 530 seperti biasa, tekan off, n tido blk, sedar2 dah pukul 630.. aiyok.. dh lmbt.. basuh muka, gosok gigi.. grab handbag, n brg the kids letak dlm kereta, start engine.. angkat nadhrah n one bgn jap tolong angkat aqilah.. n vrroom vrroom.. tata abah! n off we went.. (kalau dh lmbt, mmg akan bersiap kat rumah mak jer.. nasib laa, umah mak dekat ngan office..)
mlm smlm jam, walaupun gerak blk dh 830 pun jam gak.. adoi.. taktau laa apa penyebabnya smlm.. n aqilah meragam smlm, dlm kereta pun nangis je sepanjang jln.. on and off.. sampai aku pun rasa nak nangis.. sbb takleh buat apa, jam kan.. kalau boleh terbang, mmg dh terbang..! transform..! Nadhrah je yg dok pujuk adik dia, aku dh mati akal..
Okeh, sambung cite pg td, ingatkan akan tersangkut laa dlm jam.. skali wee hoo! takde jam.. jln lengang.. kan best kalau setiap hari camni.. dpt pecut! oh aku sgt suka!
minggu ni bz gaklaa, dgn workloads, n settlekan perihal rumahtangga.. alhamdulillah, semua dah in order.. maid application pun dh approve.. sbb dah ada anak dua kan, kalau nak hntr taska harga lebih kurang je, plus kitorg ni slalu kena stayback keje, jd with OT hours tu bertambah laa byrannye kan.. n adala org nak tolong aku buat keje rumah, lipat baju, gosok baju.. tp camne ye ada maid kat rumah nnti? aku tak biasa laaa.. dh dkt 4 tahun kawin tak pernah ada org lain duduk rumah skali.. hehe.. agak2 janggal tak?
.
.
Oh, menyimpang jauh sudah, kembali kpd topik…
on my dream of being a wahm.. after much thinking.. yup, its still a thing that i want, OFCOZ!, but maybe not yet.. i’m giving it another a year or two.. cos in order to be wahm means more hours and even weekends.. now i’m able to spend my weekends and my leaves mind free and fully concentrating on my family.. so i dont want to push it too much into few months to get it all up, i want to do it slowly, slowly building up the biz.. coz i still want quality time with the kids.. yup! nadhrah wants a lot of attention now.. (mind me, she’s one chatterbox..not that im complaining.. i always miss it during office hours..) so does the lil one, cik aqilah montel.. its quite a handful with both of them, back to back, one after another, nak ni nak tu..
altho its quite tiring now, waking up early every morning and heading the road disubuh2 hari n back at night, workloads and squeezing time to do freelance job whenever i have a few secs of free time and continuing at night when they are asleep or waking up extra early in the morning to finish it up.. but i’m happy, being able to help hubby dearest makes me happy, to loosen his burden.. he’s always doing his upmost ability to give to the family n never complains..
plus my kids are near me, and i get to see them in the morning, n sempat bermain n luangkan masa sblum pegi keje.. and boleh spend time dgn diorg blk dr keje, walaupun dlm kereta, & jam yg hampeh.. tp atleast i’m with them.. i’m really HAPPY now..
come to think bout it, when have i not been fully occupied? last 5 years(closed t0) was with work, parttime study, freelance jobs, and 2years ++ back added with raising up nadhrah, and ofcourse the endless chores.. thats life kan? alhamdulillah study ended last year and graduated last year as well.. one thing is drop of the list and mind already.. i still remember masa tgh sarat mengandungkan nadhrah, kat ofis kena panjat turun naik tangga(masa tu sabtu pun keje), and ahad lak kelas satu hari, dari pagi sampai petang, n kena panjat tangga sampai tingkat 4.. aiyah! gagahkan diri.. one pun dgn sabarnye pegang lengan tunggu angkat kaki satu2 anak tangga tu.. hehe..
Alhamdulillah, i’m happy with where we are at and what we have now, hardwork do pay rite?
Thanks to Allah god almighty for the path and every opportunity and rezeki that came to us.. to our parents&family for supporting us for all the help and being our backbone always supporting us.. i am indeed thankful and cherishing every moment of it!

Nadhrah & Saza’s sons.. Danish and Mirzan..

Okeh, some updates on our activity Last sunday, my dad ajak pegi mandi laut, i chose bagan lalang, since its the nearest.. we arrive there at about 8.. after mandi2 we had picnic(no pics taken sbb semua basah).. mama brought nasi lemak! sgt sedap.. n after that they head back home(Iman sempat bershopping jap), we drop by at Saza’s first.. and she ajak to have lunch with them first.. this pics was taken then.. thanks za + abg man for the treat, it was delicious! ikan sgt fresh..
tak sbrnye nak cuti kan? hip hip hooray!
ps: i read on mendidik anak dlm tidurnye at Nia’s blog.. very good indeed! baca k..

“Why I wish to have a portraiture session with TRIPLETSplusONE”
Nov 20th
There was one earlier entry where i mentioned how much i love her shots, then i read that she’s having a contest and would be able to win a free session! how trilled i was.. i wanted to join immediately at the moments but was really tied up with work and wasnt able to.. and yday i checked her blog again.. its still on, yeay! relieved!! n tried to find the entry.. but wasnt able to, and saw Munirah was online.. oh thank god..n she sweet as always.. gave me the link.. thanks Munirah..
ok.. lets start…
“Why I wish to have a portraiture session with TRIPLETSplusONE”
I simply adore n love her shots! reason… :
1. I want more of this.. A beautiful pic of nadhrah, taken when we went to their party..
2. The bright n beautiful colours..
3. The candid shots..
4. The composition
5. The right timing..
if you have kids.. u will know how hard it is, to take perfect shots of them.. cos they never stay put.. and when they do, u need to know when’s the right time to just click it.. cos u never can wait for another amazing pose to come..
Oh.. i hope we’ll be among the lucky ones..
oh yeah, before i forget, she ask to add a pic of our kids.. i guess.. so that she can know how many she needs to handle.. skali ada anak 12 mak aih pengsan!! haha.. kidding..
here’s my angels.. this is not the best pic of them ofcoz.. but its the latest..

taken yday, nadhrah (in the morning ~ on the way to my moms place.. tgh kat traffic light..) and aqilah (at home lastnite..) Aqilah dh berjaya meniarap!! yeay! terkejut kitorg smlm, we were both bz talking suddenly dua2 terpaku tgk Aqilah tgh landing senget tgk tv then slowly pusing sikit2 n betulkan n tadaaa meniarap! all by herself.. so happy…
ps: baru tersedar.. this morning, i save it instead of publishing it.. sgt pandai bukan? haish..

working at home mom… i so want!
Nov 16th
been wanting this since Nadhrah, now its getting even stronger with Aqilah.. but ofcos in order to live and survive.. we need money to pay our bills.. bills bills bills.. so to be to do so, ofcos needs sufficient monthly wage as well before able to quit the 9 to 5 world.. oh, my conflict man! its been cramming my head never endingly lately (oh bertahun la sbnarnye..)
Just read This article “Ingredients For Work at Home Mom Success” from Mom Blogger’s Planet, and find it really interesting n somehow gets me motivated on a monday morning..
The #1 ingredient to work at home Mom success is research, research, and research some more!
All too often Moms think once they have their business all set up, the orders will start flowing in, their pockets will start filling up and it’s all smooth sailing from then on. Not true. When I had my 1st beautiful web site full of beautiful products, I soon realized my web site was no where to be found in the Google search engines and I wasn’t getting orders because of it. I knew I had to be listed on the 1st page of the Google search engine to get customers. I did research, I made changes, I monitored the results and the I did the same time and time again. Did every change I made work? No. Did some? Yes. Now both of my web site are on the 1st page of the Google search engine. I will continue to monitor my status and make changes if necessary.
The #2 ingredient to work at home Mom success is trial and error, trial and error, continuous trial and error!
All too often Moms believe they will work less hours with their own business than when going out of the home to work. Not true. Your own business requires more hours. Hours to learn, hours to apply what you learned, hours to actually provide your product or service, hours for accounting, the list goes on and on. However, there certainly are advantages of working from home. Being at home with small children or home when your children return from school, working the hours and days you prefer not your employers, no travel time, traffic, save money on gas, uniforms or expensive office clothes and more. Personally, I find having lunch at home with my 3 year old much more enjoyable then sitting in a business lunch room with an hours old sandwich!
The #3 ingredient to work at home Mom success is work, work harder and then work some more!
All too often Moms give up because they are not an overnight success. National statistics say it takes a new businesses 3-5 years to become profitable and most businesses close up shop before they have even worked at it for a full year.
The #4 ingredient to work at home Mom success is don’t give up!
Put it all together and what do we have, research, hard work, trial and error and don’t give up! I truly believe that God wants us to succeed. He simply asks us to plant the seeds of our business, harvest the grain that is available to our business, prepare the flour for our business, mix the dough in our business and bake the foundation of our business before we get to savor the bread of our business which is our success!
i envy and adore the moms who are brave and have done it, have been successful at it aswell.. u guys rawk la!!
i pray for things to work out.. thank u all who have supported me.. hugs!

here’s some sharing..

Happyfeet ad here is amongst nadhrah’s feveret character..
this used to be her fav as well..
when she was smaller,keep on asking me to play it..
also found this vid while searching for the blobby paint vid and find it rather cute.. hehe..
also want to share this 2 videos and comments.. taken from http://amirmu.blogspot.com on pisau cukur the making..
RAFIDAH: Apa yang saya dapat dari filem-filem P. Ramlee ialah untuk meraikan flirtation dan penggodaan. Ianya mainan asmara, dengan nuansa dan lirikan mata, yang kami (sebagai masyarakat) dah lupakan. Bila saya tengah cari lagu karaoke untuk Datuk nyanyi, saya cadangkan “Joget Si Pinang Muda” … Mari-mari cik adik…Saya cari dalam Youtube dan jumpa versi asal daripada Anakku Sazali. Dia tengah nyanyi dengan Zaiton dan semuanya amat fun dan menggoda. Ada satu versi baru oleh budak-budak Akademi Fantasia dan unsur sebegitu tak ada langsung, ia jadi teramat steril.
BERNARD: Diorang tercegat kat pentas macam nyanyi “Negaraku.” Lima dekad kemudian, bayangan kebaya, penggodaan, seduction, semua dah hilang.
i so agree with them..HIDUP P.RAMLEE! and my my is HE LEGEND the very talented soul.. me & hubby still laughs histerically over his movies no matter how many zillions times we’ve watched it.. and is still our current pick when playing with the remote..
pabila subuh menjelang, kedengaran sorang2 bgn, first ofcos will be my dad.. lil ms cheecky sudah dtg menyibok..
ok.. signing off to get ready…
happy thursday guys! ![]()
ps: baru prasan.. byk nye vid.. anyways ENJOY watching..
