Dils Stop .

Tuka gambar to dusk in Tokyo sebab epilepsy aku tengok gamba sebelom ni.  It had been an eventful year.  For the world. The Gaza terror ( war is too bias because only the Gazans suffered the most), the Sewol South Korea ferry where a lot of school teens are the major  casualty, the Peshawar school massacre where a lot of children died needlessly on some misguided ideas of revenge, also the year most of the world are introduced to Boko Haram and their despicable acts of kidnapping school girls, the Sydney cafe siege where Muslims every where despaired when one lone man tarnished the name of Islam and the death of two innocents.  And I am not getting to Malaysia yet. Of course MH370 and MH17. Even remembering it is painful, I can't imagine the pain of family and loved ones of the passengers.  The loss of Air Asia plane recently while it is an Indonesian plane, but it still hit too close to home. Cameron Highlands ravaged lands. The floo...

Makeover sangat. We were renovating the kitchen this year and bilik air bawah masa bulan 2 dulu. Punye la lamaaa baru aku nak update..  It took around a month and half to siap. Dari masuk rumah tu we didnt do anything to the dry kitchen. We only added a wet kitchen at the back. Just some space to chop onions and cook, tapi tu lama dah. The dry kitchen we only ripped out some moldy cabinets and left some other moldy cabinets to be used. The old cabinets The back of the kitchen and our old meja makan. The meja makan set tu pon is actually from the old owners. You can see the pintu there that led out to the wet area of the kitchen. During the middle of renovation. You can see the sink there. We put it there initially masa first masuk rumah, then we decided to yank it away for this renovation sebab we hardly use it.  The floor tu it is not wood. Tiles actually. My husband nak tiles yang rupa wood tu. I ok je Rindu la Kurap. No moar kucing yang ...

The Dark Room by Rachel Seiffert My rating: 3 of 5 stars The Dark Room tells the stories of three ordinary Germans: Helmut, a young photographer in Berlin in the 1930s who uses his craft to express his patriotic fervour; Lore, a twelve-year-old girl who in 1945 guides her young siblings across a devastated Germany after her Nazi parents are seized by the Allies; and, fifty years later, Micha, a young teacher obsessed with what his loving grandfather did in the war, struggling to deal with the past of his family and his country. 3 stories in one novel. If there are some similar theme with all of these stories is that there are all related to a Nazi sympathizer/officer or are ones. The first stories was simple and sad. The second of the starving children story on a journey to their grandmother are the one I most can't stand. It is too heartbreaking. I kinda like skim read it. Not that I skip here and there. But I kinda scanned the words without delving much ...

On the Saturday morning after Saif was born, the 7th day, I said to my mum that kalau kat JB I would asked my mother to call Ustazah Masyitah who used to do cukur rambut for the cucu babies in my mom circle of kelas agama friends to come and do Saif. Not a big thing, just a few people and just some simple makan-makan after.  But my abang ipar friend who is an Ustaz is here on KL so he called the young Ustaz up ( ustaz ranggi.. ) and mentioned my intention. My mom decided to cook nasi lemak and we just invited very few people for the makan.  So on the 8th day, Saif punye rambut cacak2 tu dah tadek.  I pump milk the night before so budak kecik will lessen his fussing time tu  My baby memang suke buat duckface Abang Aziz kat belakang tu berlari sana sini, tak kesahkan adik die kena cukur. I think the young ustaz kurang sikit pengalaman cukur so lama sikit nak habis cukur. Rambut Saif pon banyak. Afterwards Saif was a bit freakout die kena manha...

People always said every child birth is different and this is true! Let see what gonna happened if I am to have a 3rd child pulak.  This time the post recovery is very painful one. I didn't remembered when I had given birth to Aziz it was this painful. That first 2 nights I was racked with sweats and contraction pain. I felt so hot that 2 days and was sweating a lot that my hair was disgusting while everyone in the room was feeling cold. It was made even worse because cesarean post op meant no bath for at least 2 or 3 days! But I didn't dare to let the temp drop even further in the room because I don't want my newborn baby sick because of the cold. And the contraction pain this time is really intense. I could cry, it is almost as bad as during labour contractions. I asked the nurse and she said memang normal, usually those who had undergone cesarean the second time will feel the pain even more. She said the third usually not that bad. Mesti cakap camtu supaya mak2 tak...

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë My rating: 3 of 5 stars The passion of Catherine and Heathcliff. A love so strong that it defy conventionality. That is what I usually heard when people refer to Wuthering Heights. And it was . Passion. Wild unbridled raw love.  For this book, I was tempted to put only 1 star but!!, there was something powerful in this book towards the end that makes me feel morbid and despondent and fearful. All of the characters are unlikable but they remain true to their self even towards the end. It is as if she wrote it because she was compelled to get these horrible character out, like exorcising demons out of the system and are completely helpless in how they turned out to be because they will not be thwarted even in their author's hand. David Golder, The Ball, Snow in Autumn, The Courilof Affair by Irène Némirovsky My rating: 5 of 5 stars I already read and reviewed David Golder so not gonna comment here. The Ball - the POV of this ...

I had already mentioned to my gynae before that I am gonna try VBAC. So I was on my 39th week Jumaat, 21st Nov tu and it also happened to be my birthday. Memula I macam cita2 nak guilt trip laki ke Majestic Hotel punye buffet, tapi I during my last weeks of pregnancy tu I don't have a lot of appetite pon actually. So after a week or more of not cooking sebab tak larat or pening I cooked dinner. After washing up, dan rase moody for no reason ( I am always moody during my birthday), rase macam perut jatuh je.  At that time husband pon baru bagi my present. Then after putting Aziz to bed , went to the toilet and felt like something came out from down there, if you know what I mean. Nothing so dramatic. Not even air ketuban pon pecah. Only the mucus plug, some bloody bit. Told husband that I maybe will be in labour tomorrow so I start to put the last things I need in my hospital bag and husband packed up Aziz bag since we akan letak him at my sister house when I am in labour. Seb...

Got meself a preview pass way back in February. Dan being in pantang I still manage to buy some. Malas cakap banyak. Below are the pics of the book I bought. A lot of em are childrens book for my kids and my nephews and nieces. Also general fiction for meself. Things I am thrilled about is that my Sookie Stackhouse series is now complete. As per usual the book pics are my reference usually on what books I have yet to read. My preview pass Aziz pouncing on the dino coloring book after I told him there are new books for him That medical dictionary is for my sister. I am not that curious to learn. My stash for this year Also bought the Stiegg Larsson famous trilogy. I was reluctant to buy it because of the violence, but meh, I can always skip the violence. The movie was great. Both of the Dilbert books are my husband For my nephews and niece. Tetiba aku pon jeles and wish I have that Hello Kitty sweet treats. A lot of people was asking where I ...

Beria kan aku cakap aku taknak new phone, or considering new one but then I got one for my birthday ( which was on the 21st Nov tu ). While my heart was set on Xiaomi 4 or OnePlus One but nak dapatkan phone tu macam sama susah nak kahwin dengan anak raja tahapnye, my husband bought me the Oppo Find7. Memula aku macam merajuk sebab ingatkan die tak belikan ape2 for my birthday. Dah la kek pon lupa beli. Hiba ibu mengandung.  Naseb baik lepas I tanye maghrib tu mana my kek die terus beli. Kalau tak ade aku pegi batu belah batu bertangkup... sebab malam tu je terus contractions in labour. Hahaha.  I was very specific on the specifications I want in a phone. I wanted a 3GB RAM, and at least 32 GB worth of internal phone storage. 16GB no longer cuts it. Also the screen is as big as Note 2 as I am used to that. So that does not left a whole lot of choice.  So my phone looks kinda like this  I think the back looks kinda like that because the phone come w...
