Hand Painted Bottle?

MQ — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:19:25 +0000

I am really sleepy as of now that I am typing this entry and feel really tired after conducting the craft classes this whole weekend. It has been ages since my last class and somehow I feel that making contact, putting up with students and be patient with them (to finally complete their tasks) are [...]

Apa Hak Seorang Anak?

MQ — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:42:03 +0000

Keistimewaan yang bakal diperoleh apabila anak-anak anda boleh digelar kanak-kanak atau kupu-kupu syurga. Barangsiapa yang mengembirakan anak perempuannya, darjatnya seumpama orang yang sentiasa menangis kerana takutkan Allah. Orang yang menangis takutkan Allah diharamkan oleh Allah akan api neraka ke atas tubuhnya. Ciumlah anakmu kerana pahala setiap ciuman itu dibalas dengan satu darjat syurga. Nisbah di antara [...]

At Last..

MQ — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:04:02 +0000

Remember when I said that Hubby is having a week off to clear his annual leave..it turns out to be not a week off after all…huhu! Hubby has to complete some freelance project for his client which is already overdue so I thought perhaps everything should be settle latest by Monday. After all I need [...]

You Gotta See This!

MQ — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:51:35 +0000

Anyone interested to join this iLASIK Video Contest? Believe me, if I have the money at the moment, I would love to consider laser vision correction. Imagine how it could improve my life, no more struggling with contact lens every morning or trying to grab the specs away from my son’s prying fingers..huhu! The company which [...]

Sleep Baby Sleep!

MQ — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:55:39 +0000

Taken from Nighttime Parenting: How to Get Your Baby and Child to Sleep by William Sears Sleep maturity tends to take longer to develop in high needs children. These children are very sensitive to environmental stimuli by day and carry this sensitivity into their sleep patterns at night. Parents of a high need child will [...]

Reading?

MQ — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:04:26 +0000

I got some extra time tonight to edit some pictures to accompany my entry as the son is sleeping..heh! Usually he sleeps around 2-3am, but tonight he fell asleep around 1am..maybe because he didn’t nap at 11pm..huhu! Anyway, I just want to share the picture of his first lift-the-flap board book. We bought it when he [...]

What’s High Need?

MQ — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:23:06 +0000

After almost a year I’ve come to term with the fact that my son is just different than other easy babies out there. No wonder other parents don’t complain that much about how tiring to raise their kids..huhu! And yet here I am, thinking and feeling like “is it this hard to bring up a [...]

Alas Kaki, Levi’s Jeans

MQ — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 19:39:11 +0000

OK, before you proceed reading, don’t get the wrong idea that I’m using Levi’s jeans as alas kaki..haha! It’s 2 separate story but I am happy to share both today. We didn’t really have any specific plan on Friday, but it’s Hubby’s day off since Deepavali falls on Saturday and they have to go to work [...]

A Facelift?

MQ — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:59:20 +0000

I am thinking of doing a major facelift to my blog(s) but I am so lazy to tweak here and there..talking about being too long in a comfort zone..heh! Well, it’s about time for me to move the lazy ass and do some money-oriented work here. I am reading and learning about SEO optimized theme [...]

Defensive?

MQ — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 18:20:34 +0000

“You can trust yourself. Other people’s opinions are driven by their needs and emotions - not by magical insights about your worth.” I just realized that ever since I become a mom, I tend to be very sensitive and defensive when it comes to people’s remarks about my son. Somehow it feels like a personal attack [...]

Listen…

MQ — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 19:34:00 +0000

Take a moment to listen today To what your children are trying to say Listen today, whatever you do Or they won’t be there to listen to you. Listen to their problems, listen to their needs Praise their smallest triumphs, praise their smallest deeds Tolerate their chatter, amplify their laughter Find out whats the matter, find out what they’re after. Tell them that [...]

Open House, Viral Fever..

MQ — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:11:09 +0000

Both of us have been down with viral fever since the weekend..huhu! Luckily Hubby is still healthy to take care of us in the house. He was on EL on Monday since I was not really strong to take care of our son alone. We went to see the paed, and oh boy, we have [...]

The Aquaria KLCC Visit

MQ — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:34:47 +0000

Just as I managed to upload all these pictures using the very-very slow broadband connection at home, I realized that I didn’t put watermark on them..sigh! I am too tired to delete everything, edit them in Photoshop and upload again..I hope that nobody will be so jahat and curi all of these edited pictures. Well, during [...]

Are You Well-Groomed Enough?

MQ — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 07:41:19 +0000

Last month Hubby was busy interviewing candidates for 2 posts at his office. Since his US based company doesn’t place much interest in candidates’ appearance, the aspect of grooming is not one of the criteria of hiring that they take seriously (but still of course you can’t expect to come to the interview wearing sandals [...]

Brilliant Baby

MQ — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 19:17:08 +0000

I know most people are still busy celebrating Hari Raya. I was tired with all this Raya commotion and decided to indulge in something more beneficial. After all my son won’t be a baby forever and since his brain grows rapidly in these first 2 years, I decided to do what’s best for him. Initially I [...]

Aidilfitri 2009

MQ — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 20:40:41 +0000

This year celebration started with lampu ketupat..heh! We bought 2 sets at Jusco, one is the LED set and the other one is the typical lampu cepat terbakar with ketupat at the bottom of the rows. Like last year’s tradition, we managed to balut about 1.5kg ketupat palas (sadly, daun palas we bought semua kenit2, tak [...]

Few Days To Hari Raya..

MQ — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:54:29 +0000

I am happy this year to celebrate Hari Raya. Reason No.1 : it’s our first Aidilfitri together as one family. Reason No.2 : I don’t have to endure long hours of traveling as we will be celebrating it here…as per few years before this. Somehow I don’t understand why people have to balik kampung every time [...]
