b3 b0rn.. c0nf0rm, b3 si|3nt .. di3

sometimes i feel like i am running into a brick wall…

others, feel like am walking one step forward and then two steps behind (familiar line? think def leppard )

either way, it causes unnecessary delays and anxiety – which by the way, i shouldn’t be feeling as everything is out of my hands.

when it happened 4 months ago – i vowed not to allow it to happen again. but – here i am, with the same ol’ same ol’ … only at a larger scale.

*sigh* <~ actually have a more colorful expression which is not fit for general public

the time for rejoicing again has arrived

to those travelling to their hometowns, come back in one piece!

to those whom i’ve hurt or caused any pain, intentionally or unintentionally, thousand apologies and 0-0 ekkkk?

i leave you guys with a message from my sponsor – click picture below for larger image

on anaqi:
he turned 8 months last wednesday. have yet to do this month’s checkup as busy with raya preparations – my GP is also already on leave. so after raya will know how much he gained – in terms of weight.

he is now a bit more mobile – being concerned that his grandson is not a bouncing baby, my dad started placing anaqi in a baby walker to kinda force the boy to use his legs.

he still doesn’t bounce in the way my dad wants him to but he jigs (only upper portion of the body is bouncing – think endang or dikir barat) and pushes himself around in the walker.

i think he may have inherited my love for dance and beat coz for no apparent reason, he’d be getting jiggy widdit whenever he feels like it.

noteworthy:

am proud to say that anaqi is still exclusively nursing with me. WOOO HOOOOO!!!

was actually a bit concerned when his weight gain started to slow down after his 6th month – kakak had faithfully remained within her percentile throughout her first year.

but then read an article which comforted me – at least i know it’s not something i ate or did not eat – it’s more on what kakak fed on as versus anaqi

on kakak:

when we started enrolling kakak to her current pre-school, her nenek was quite concerned whether her spiritual needs will be fulfilled (read, ada tak blaja agama?)

we responded that it is in the curriculum – but frankly, after the 1/2 year point – i have yet to obtain any feedback from kakak on any agama classes.

she put her nenek’s fears to rest last two weeks when out of the blue, she recited the arabic alphabets (alif-ba-ta). terus dapat cium from nenek – heh heh. though, she still refers to the religious teacher as teacher faridah instead of ustazah.

her school concert will be in nov – can’t wait!! kakak has been demonstrating to us the steps for her concert. amir will definitely will be prepared with his digicam – even nenek wants to attend (note to self: need to confirm with the school if it’s okay to bring along other interested parties)

 

the past week was a bit tiring. more stress at work – need not dwell on that, else it’ll just cause another round of anxiety.

anaqi had a bit of a fever due  to throat infection - so i had to stay at home to ensure he takes his antibiotics. first time ever he had to take antibiotics – uwaaa… and here i had this goal not to allow him to be dependent on antibiotics.

yesterday was a killer day – just so exasperated with procedures without any kpi attached which can give me indication on how much time i need to put in as buffer in preparing proposals.

so today, after had submitted for review with latest changes and done some following up on issues of a current implementation – got me blog-hopping during the break and also a bit on online window shopping for ayu – she’s looking for nursing tops.

which led me to this newly discovered - and now rated among favorite blogs > breastfeeding blog

which in turn led me to this post – and i discovered that i had a superpower.

so what’s yours?
