Still A Long Journey

I'm taking a detour, a longer route but to the same destination as before. I'm not happy at all with the arrangement but this is what we have to endure until we have build up a strong team with one common goal.

Lend us your prayers.

Sumpah Aku Pernah Kurus

Sekarang nak kurus balik. Dulu banyak masa untuk ke gym, tanggungjawab hanya pada diri sendiri, sekarang cerita sudah bertambah baik. So kena carik cara lain untuk kurus dan mengekalkan kesejahteraan badan. Es0k pergi brisk walking kot. Erm KOT?

Our First Anniversary

It was actually yesterday. I woke up at about 4.30 am to feed Ilham and there it was a hand made card from Amir. hehe sweet eh? It's been a year and we still have a long way to go.

Kerja Kerajaan Selamat

I had the privilege of making acquaintance with an old makcik today. Five minutes into the conversation I knew that she has three children, her husband passed on a year ago on the 15 of Ramadhan, that she never worked before even when she was an anak dara, that her daughter in law just gave birth to a baby girl on the 31st of August and that she made sure all her children 'kerja kerajaan' or marry someone who 'kerja kerajaan' because 'kerja kerajaan selamat sebab ada pencen'.

Now, I was previously 'kerja kerajaan' (semi-government actually but yeah the mentality and the works all scream 'kerajaan') but never, ever felt safe. Was it just a feeling? But then if it's safe, why is the aforementioned makcik has to work now (she's 56) when she has never worked before?

I've got nothing against employment, but can we stop thinking that other people (in this case the employer) is responsible with our life? Macam tak best je pikir camtu eh?

I Love Reading

I am reading to Ilham not just chidlren's books but also anything and everything I can get my hands on. Magazines, novels and motivational books that are lying around the house, whilst Amir will turn on the many audiobooks he stored in the laptop whenever he can. I don't know if this is the correct way but I do hope this practice will instill a love for reading in the boy. I tend to baby talk with him, that's why I counter that with reading books heheh. Nanti anak aku cakap pelat plak.

By the way, Ilham calls for 'Mek' when he cries. Aku dok ajar dia sebut 'Mama' dan 'Ayah', dia boleh sebut 'Mek'.
