Raya Haji at home with the family 🙂 Just back from the masjid with the super well-behaved boys in their jubahs.

Star Wars is beyond awesome. Well, episodes IV, V and VI anyway. A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi. Did you know that the original title for the...

Ayub loves bananas. That boy doesn’t eat fruits and vegetables. Bananas are the only exception. He can down two in one sitting. Ohmnomnom. Once when he was close to two years old, he was eating a...

It’s Raya Haji tomorrow. I thought of only going back to the hubby’s kampung next week to avoid the jam but he wants to be with his family, so we’re leaving tomorrow morning bright...

“No baby!” yells Ayub as Sulaiman clutches tightly to one of THREE Ultraman figures while pretending he can’t hear Ayub’s pleas… Ayub stares down at his little brother in building rage and threatens to...

The hubby was shaving with his electric clippers outside in the front yard the other day for some reason. I didn’t ask why. He’s an anomaly. He talks a lot about nothing related to...

Sulaiman and Ayub are both sick. Fever, cough, runny nose. Sulaiman’s phlegm made him vomit twice today. However, they don’t seem to have noticed anything. Still energetic little balls of mischief. Spent the evening...

We usually have breakfast after the show because we start at 5am and don’t stop until 10am. And seriously, who has the time and the stomach to eat before 5am? One morning the boys...

It has come to a point where it is impossible for me to take pictures of the boys together posing. Mostly because Ayub is either not in the slightest bit interested, or he’s overenthusiastic...

Ayub first saw kids ride on cars when he was a fat baby, before he could walk on his own. He would push and squirm and struggle out of my arms to get closer to them...

Ayub’s new thing is to bathe outside in the dustbin. Ah youth. His imagination and practically definitely comes from his father. I don’t think I ever initiated anything as creative and fun as this....

Hunny is stunning all the time. Now that she’s pregnant, it’s overwhelming. Pretty pretty pregnant lady. I love my Hunny Mads. She refuses to tell me the sex of the baby. But I’m gonna...

I was 21 when I had Ayub. I knew nothing about child care. I depended heavily on my mother, which isn’t a bad thing, but in retrospect, I should have depended on myself. Fortunately for...

I receive weekly updates on my babies’ development from babycenter.com and this one came for Sulaiman today: Hmmm… “precrawl” exercise? My fat Sulaiman has been crawling since he was 5+ months. He’s so awesome....

 After weeks of chewing on his fingers, sucking on his gums and sticking his tongue out, a tooth has arrived!! Sulaiman has been a little cranky, but because he’s such a good-natured baby, his...

Two weeks ago my dad rescued a bunny that was stuck in the middle of the road. He was tiny and malnourished and trembling in fear. Brought him home, put him in the garden...

I brought the babies out jalan jalan the other day. Ayub loves the arcade; he tries out everything, once in a while I’ll change money to tokens and let him play for real. But...
