My Mother the Strong One

I hate to see my lovely Queen Mother suffer. She's recovering in the hospital now and I hope to be with her over the weekend. I hope she would recover soon so that we may go on our adventures together. We've so many plans but alas Allah is the best of all Planners. Will continue to doa' for her safety and health!

The dating scene nightmare!

There is hikmah, a good reason, to everything as they say.

I am happy that I'm married to someone who allows me to be myself. I can't imagine why i let myself be in a relationship so destructive to me mentally and psychologically. It's draining all my positivity too. imagine the situation and let this be a lesson to girls out there when they come across weirdos like these:

1. This stupid dude wants me to go to a concert with him. Makes me buy the tickets ($180!) and says he will bear the cost of petrol and toll etc.

2. It's not as if i don't ever offer to pay for petrol expenses when we go out. He actually asked me to pay up cos he's the one who's been bearing the petrol cost most of the time. hello..you cannot make a girl pay..especially when we're on a so-called date!! duhh

3. He was sweet when courting but when it comes to a relationship expects me to be sweet to him. like what?? he even said this " wouldn't it be romantic if you would propose to me here on this ski lift" like duhhh

4. expects praises and only polite words. all the time. if i don't he would get upset and cries!

5. it was in a room full of people and we were introducing ourselves in a circle when i mentioned "I'm Aisyah with a "Y" " After the session he said "Do you have to mention the "with a Y" part sounds so immature". I was like huh??

6. This dude was overly jealous of everything and wants to know exactly when, where and with whom i'm going out with every minute of everyday. and we were 13 hours away by flight at that time. seriously..that was a long term relationship that was draining my energy having to connect thru phone all the time. 

7. This other dude confessed that he's actually engaged to someone on our first date. Glad that he's honest so tata!

8. Another weird dude keeps taking me out on coffee and jogs by the sea. When i fell for him and confessed he didn't respond and stopped taking me out. A month later he was married. 

9. This typical usrah type of guy wouldn't allow me to play mixed futsal simply cos there were guys in the team.

10. This dude wrote me a song and played it with his band.He sent the song to me via email. When somebody asked him if he really liked me he said it was just for fun. 

To my sweetheart. I love you endlessly. 

Hello, kids!

They say change is inevitable and it is the only thing constant in this world. Give it time and time will definitely change your life. Everything around me...and of course myself included changes so fast and i don't wish for the rewind button to hit at all because everyday brings something new. Today marks 1 month of darling Maryam's life and looking forward to many many more months ahead.And her big bwada,Ismail, is 17mths and 13++kg which makes him HEFTY! The changes that i'm referring to are actually my kids (it sounds better in plural form!) And boy do they grow up fast robbing me off my precious time, annual leaves and phone memory (chock full of their photos and videos!)..one thing they cannot take away from me are my 30 minute showers..hehe...somebody has to be watching the babies for that. My hunk of a husband definitely deserves credit for most of these changes in my life and being the charming hubby he is, he will always be supportive and helpful. It's always a relief having him around at this time especially since he has a special role to play, which is to keep a watchful eye over toddler big bwada and keep him occupied AT ALL TIMES! This is the time when lil man should not be left wandering on his own because you wouldn't want to be walking on sticky and icky floors after he cheekily spills milk or when he grabs a plateful of fruits from the table when no one is looking. Its a tiring job of fatherhood for my hubby what with lil man always throwing toys and tantrums! I am glad breastfeeding allows me to relax with Maryam and bond with her alone. It's really taxing trying to please the lil man who can throw himself into a fiery rage whenever he feels like it.

So here are the biggest change in my life at the moment.
1. 2 babies (everyday a new discovery)
2. 4 of us in our own house (more in next post)
