catch the bad wolf already :)

assalamualaikum wbth n hola peeps,

The most awaiting event that i've been dreaming for many weeks, has become a reality. we managed to go books retail theraphy! ohhh yeahhhhhhhhhh..better late than never they say and truly said it was all worth it. once i stepped my foot into the main hall, i was ecstatic, like a girl who is in a candy shop. my eyes beaming with joy and i can't stop smiling. we did a quick glance at all the sections, hoping to stop at any that interest us. And we began our journey in the books land at the cookery station..hah! we grabbed a few books and zawji was so enthused to see so many high quality and cheap-prized books that he felt like having them all..it was so enjoyable to see him like that which i find quite rare and amused at the same time. he was busy looking and sorting books (fiction, photography, calculus! etc). we took our pleasure with all the books as we reached there at 10 a.m. as people hadn't crowding the hall yet. alhamdulillah. so,yeah. we went separate ways later on and i hurriedly headed to picture books and children sections in search of books for lil lutfiyah. i managed to find books for her that had later on been sorted by zawji as some weren't that necessary. yes, i picked so many books that i didn't knw how to choose the best..so i let him do the job. while zawji queued up to pay the books, i went up to the stationery section to buy some stationeries that cost me around 200 bucks which comprised of a casio 'label it'. some pens, marker pens, some glues and post-it notes..the stationeries were all discounted for mostly 20% for each item. beside stationeries. i also got myself books on english teaching materials (duhh), world atlas book, cook books and a guide on handling crying and colic babies (ok,mommy mode on). After about three hours, we headed home feeling contented and literate..hahahh!

thank you BIG BAD WOLF for having us..will definitely see u again!owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

single-handed mom

i've survived (so far) being a single-handed mom to my darling lutfiyah this school holiday..as much as i enjoy being with her and watch her grow every single moment, coping with a 8 month baby who is full of energy with unpredictable emotions can sometimes require us to use our physical and mental skills to the best. i used to be a person who is veryy, veryy patient. patient was my middle name until i found that it isn't the case when i've gained my new title, especially when the lil one was so cranky at night that she needs more hugs, nursing and even a playmate..owh yes.that's her new skill which we just discovered last night at 4 a.m. bring it on baby! oh my, it was so hillarious watching her trying to pull and toss us around  in the bed just to play with her n we surrender, half-awaked trying to play with her..and we take turns of course..lutfiyah only continued sleeping at about 10-ish and woke up around 12. Now she is asleep again at 5.15 p.m. and we'll see how long is she taking her nap..lutfiyah can be fully recharged aftr taking her 10 minutes power nap to be back in action!
