she got me at hello

sekarang aisya suka ajak orang sembang, and she seemed like a very good listener. kadang2 aisya pun nak join sembang and today while recording her video, aisya uttered a word, well coincidentally the noise that she produced sounded something like "ello".

listen careful, listen hard.

word cloud

started work at 4 a.m. today and i think i'm out of my mind, and ended up doing this,

which is called a word cloud from worldle which is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide.

have fun.

kisah "pantang"

hari ni dah masuk 37 hari berpantang.. cerita pasal pantang nih, sblm bersalin i decided to buy set bersalin emmy 60 days by sendayu tinggi.. fuh bnyk ubat die kasik dlm 1 set tuh n harganye rm480 if i'm not mistaken.. tp promoter kat toko jamu tu kata utk 1st baby tak digalakkan amik set ni sbb terlampau panas.. takut efek baby hmm.. survey punye survey, last2 amik set leesa formula..

biaselah, org yg tak suke makan ubat mcm saya akan memilih set yg paling mudah @ tak leceh dan ubatnye tak brape bnyk.. agak mudah, ade 2 je ubat - pil haruan n pil prawan.. pil haruan tu tau la utk sembuh luka, tp pil prawan?? hurmm tak paham sgt fungsinye.. selain dr tu ade 'tungku' yg moden - dah tak yah la kita nak pakai tungku batu atau besi yg berat gile tu lg.. ade bengkung utk tujuan men'slim'kan perut dan ade ginger cream utk tujuan buang angin dlm badan.. semua benda dlm set ni digunakan sepenuhnye sbb tak remeh..

sejak mama n ayah balik haji, diorang ambik alih tugas jaga saya dlm pantang, dan semalam mamaku dah beli satu lg set bersalin dr indon sbb die sgt tak puas hati dgn set leesa formula yg simple tuh!! namenye 'jamu selapan' by mustika ratu.. waduh2, gawat nih.. sbb set ini mengandungi;

• galian parem wangi
• pulih balung sumsum
• pilis wangi
• tapel raket mustika sejati
• parem segar sumyah
• bubuk bancar air susu

*sila rujuk kamus BM-INDON.. heh

pening???!! hmm saya yg nak kena makan n guna benda2 ni lg pening!! nama benda2 die je dah tak paham kan?? tp ni la akar2 kayu, rempah2, jamu2 dan herba2 yg dicampur2.. igtkan mama ni 'mama moden' yg tak brape kisah sgt pasal pantang larang nih.. bila tanya pada dia, jawapannye "mmg mama moden tp benda ni tak boleh buat main2 sbb bdn org perempuan ni ade bnyk benda nak jaga.. kalau kamu nak sihat, kuat dan badan cantik, mesti ikut pantang, jaga makan dan habiskan jamu2 tu!!" nasib baikla skrg dah takde jamu yg kena bancuh pastu minum tu! yg ade kena bancuh pun fungsinye hanya utk sapu pd bdn atau perut..

igtkan dah hujung2 pantang ni bleh la nak rilex2.. tak jugak.. demi mama, ridz and utk diri sendiri, akan ku gagahkan jugak buat semua nih.. sabar, sabar..

our lil munchkin is one month old!

Yeah! papa ridz and mama rynn wishes lil' aisya a happy first-montha-birthday!

Here are some tidbits to share:

• ridz is still confused (he refers to himself as ayah sometimes papa to aisya) and is considering to add dad or daddy to the list.
• mama rynn has proven to be a top notch supermom, attending 2 weddings and a trip back to ipoh even before 44 days of berpantang ain't yet over. hmmm...
• from our observation aisya's favourite menu consists of milk, milk, milk and more milk.
• she's like to stretch up to an hour before she actually opens her eyes, and
• aisya mysara likes to frown (berkerut like her mama) a lot, as though there a lot of stuff to think about.

A baby will make love stronger,
days shorter,
nights longer,
bankroll smaller,
home happier,
clothes shabbier,
the past forgotten,
and the future worth living for
