Goodbye 2008!!

It has been a very challenging year... work, family, friends & life.

Work - has always been interesting. I actually love the work that I am doing. I do learn lots of things... the only challenge is the management. Dealing with people.. such a challenge. Well, this isn't my favorite topic to be in my writings..

Family... the arrival of my Lil' Sunshine - Aqil Mustaqim..the most awaiting arrival. Aqil came about at the right time. I feel the light eversince he was born in my own little tummy. He enlightens many parts in the family ties that is why I call him my Lil' Sunshine... This Lil' Sunshine adds on the cheerfulness of my Hunny~Bunny and my Sweetie~Pie..

Friends.. friends do come and go. I found my long lost friend on the web whom I have never forgotten, Sarina Mat Salleh...
Made more acquiantances in my Certificate in Islamic Law class..
A friend found me after 12 years looking for me.. (haha this is a classic story)..
The finale of the year, my best buddies - Rudy and Zaidah hooked up in a marriage.. gosh.. God works wonders.. After all the years, Zaidah.. we've been waiting...

Life.. my own personal life is definitely a challenge this 2008. Too many happenings, too many heartaches, too many priceless memories.. in all aspects that I am involved in... Zaharin had been a wonderful husband to me..though he 'missed' a few steps, he got up and caught the pace right back! I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU DARLING, I AM THANKFUL for all those hardships that we have gone through to have what we have now sayang. I LOVE YOU ABANG!!
All areas had thought my many things throughout all the happenings in the year. May God lead all of us to the wonderful path as the righteous way it should be.Amin.

It's has been a long time....

Gosh.. it has really been a while since I was last in here.

Raya holidays... I was busy helping out mak at her home with all those bakings and cookings. Then I have to handle my own family... then the actually raya days, very busy entertaining people.. not in my home but visiting hehe... itu pun setakat family aje, kengkawan langsung tak berkesempatan.

It was a very very happy raya indeed. It was first hari raya for Aqil... then for my daughters, I think they are really excited this time when they know that they would be collecting duit raya-s hehe.

Ok.. I shall come back again.

I had been having lots of thoughts to put up in here.. just that time was not on my side. All those responsibilities being a mom, a wife, a daughter... also an employee.. Gosh, if given 36 hours a day also, I dont think it is enough..

ok ok, shall come back later later.

Instinct..connection

It is a miracle.. great work of the Al-Mighty..

It was two days ago, a colleague from work who had just came back from a year of study leave, instant message me using the office intranet. It was a great surprise to me as I didnt expect a note of 'Hi' from her, I really thought that she is still in Aussie doing her Masters. Words of excitement started the conversation. .. asking her whether she did any scuba diving while she was there etc etc.. Then at one point she wrote, "i have to say, i know we aren't that close, but somehow, you always come to mind :)"... True enough, we had one travel occasion together, but somehow I too feel the connection with her. Just being comfortable with each other and conversations would just flow well, though we dont really know each other.. what do we call that??

Then today, I happened to read a 'long lost best friend's' blog... and to my surprise the background of her blog is exactly the one that I have chosen for mine... See?!?!... I dont understand that. I've lost her long enough, but she never leave my mind eversince. We had misunderstood the situation before.. more than 10 years ago. Somehow, when I noticed the similarity in the background we chose... is that coincidence, or is it some connection somewhere??

At times, I wonder how this chemistry of God's creation ever work.. it exists.. it does..
At most times, it happens to some other person whom we are not in relation with.. but we know the 'connection' is there.. the chemistry is just right.. perhaps I shall search for materials to read more bout this...

Liza... glad you are back from Aussie, we shall plan for diving trip together may be.. hehehe if I can juggle my time with work and my kids..
Sarina... I miss you very dearly.. if only you know.

Aqil Mustaqim...

Yesterday, when picking up Aqil from KFadillah's - his mama mentioned that Aqil has turned. "Dia dah meniarap dah. Bila kita suruh dia meniarap, dia tak nak. Bila kita tak pandang, tiba tiba tengok dia dah telangkup dah... risau akak takut kalau dia lemas ke apa ke".. I was so happy with Aqil Mustaqim's development so far. God knows how happy I was when he first gained weight. All through the development, when he started smiling and started making noises of his own.

Not that Aqil is the only baby, he is my 3rd after two girls. He is indeed the first boy. God had given Aqil to myself and Zaharin to be very special to us and also to his sisters. God knows what is in hand for us all by bringing Aqil to us.

The pregnancy was not expected. Though it wasn't that tough of the first trimester, but that was the first time I experienced bleeding in pregnancy. I should say that I was pretty strong in my other earlier pregnancies, not experiencing any of the symptoms that people used to experience. It was different in carrying Aqil. He was a very very very active baby sitting in Ibu's belly. Few bleeding occasions. In fact the worse was during last Eid Mubara', that Zahrin insisted for me to go to hospital - but I refused coz I felt the baby still moving and I didn't wanna celebrate Eid in the hospital. Towards the end of the trimester, everything was ok and as I said - Aqil was a very active baby..somersaulting in the belly.. all sorts of actions. I was able to see my tummy moves abruptly at times and various shapes it formed.

During labour, contractions was beginning to get strong when the gynae came in. She checked and said she felt limbs and not head. I was brought for scanning and confirmed the baby was in the position of oblige bridge - I was sent for emergency caesarian straight away. The jitters in me made the contraction pain went away, I tell ya! Always dont have that good impression in getting into an operation theatre.. hehe.

When I was awake after the operation, we were excited in knowing it was really a boy this time. According to Zahrin, it was my wish came true... hehe though I never told him exactly of any sex preference of the baby as I said I would accept what God gives us. Though I was in pain from the operation - I was happy for the baby was good.

While my parents were there all very excited of the "new arrival", my gynae came in and congratulated us. She requested to speak to only both of us. In her professional manner she told us that she suspected that our baby is going to be very special. We had smiles on our faces, at the same time very curious about what was going to come. She continued by saying, she noticed some features on the baby's face and the single crease on both his palms - which related to Down Syndrome. We were quiet. I had a small tiny smile on my face and at that very moment, I thought to myself - God the Greatest, He knows best for what He had given me. I only pray that my baby is healthy for whatever condition he is. I looked at Zahrin. He looked calm and cool by the face. I wasn't sure what was inside him.

There.... we already have Aqil Mustaqim. As he is special in everyway that he is, he is gonna be the most special to us all... ibu, babah, Adleena and Adriana.

We all love you Aqil - Nenek, Atuk, Nya-i and Ya-i - all love you and always pray for you. May Allah brings all the wonderfulness into you and us all, my dear boy.

A day just not for work..

Raya is approaching... I am already in the holiday mood coming to work this week.
No mood to look at work at all. I think I have been working too hard in this office, this particular division of the department, when compared with other parts of the department. *sigh* when are all these gonna end.

I'll be sitting for Module 3 of Certificate in Islamic Law class this Saturday. Kinda look forward to that actually. But the mood to study as for now, not really there. Been reading translation of surah An-Nur since morning, with some interruptions here and there...amazed by the beauty of the Qur'an. Eversince I took up CIL, it opens my perspective about my own religion. Amazing, yet still full of questions to further understand it.

Terlalu besar and menyeluruhnya Islam itu... Kurniakan hidayah-Mu, ya Tuhan, untuk aku mendalami ilmu dari-Mu ini.

Excitement...

...still in the excitement of having a blog.. hehe
After office today, on the way back.. being stuck in a traffic jam, all the thoughts are about how can I be fancy to arrange my own blog. Feeling there are lots of things that I want to document... to put up..only time could be jealous of me.
We'll see tomorrow, the flow of thoughts to update on everything that I wanna put up here... all in my mind now is about my children..

First time...

This is so cool. Apart from having mails on the web, I am always skeptic of writing on it. But after going through some blogs that friends all around had created... it just gave me some light to try a blog on my own. Having a place for a journal and share whatever that is from me through this little thing called blog... wouldn't be so much of a bad idea after all.

Lets see this for real, Junie!
