My Little Girl's Birthday...

Nur Ikramina Asyura...
[Born in February 20th, 2008]

Ten tiny fingers
Ten tiny toes
Two little eyes
And one little nose

A beautiful smile
Wavy black hair
A perfect angel
Just standing there

A blank slate
For me to mold
A little girl
For me to hold

She watches my every move
Sure not to miss a beat
I can't believe I am a mom
It's different, but neat

My heroine, my saviour
My own little me
The love of my life
It's hard to believe

An unbreakable bond
Between her and I
No limit to love
When it reaches the sky

Happy 2nd Birthday to my little Asyura... Semoge Allah menjadikan mu anak yang solehah & pintar... A filial Muslim daughter every parents ever wanted... A faithful Muslim wife every husband ever dreamt of... A good grand-daughter every grandparents would ever yearn for... Insya'allah, amin...

Semoge Allah menjauhi mu daripada sifat bongkak, bercakap besar, hasad dengki & iri hati... Kerane sesungguhnya sifat2 ini amat keji disisi Allah...

Membesar lah kamu dengan ade nye sifat bersyukur didalam hati... Dan selalu rendah diri & sabar dalam ape jua rintangan yang menempuhi hidop mu wahai anak aku...

Kerana kau anak aku, darah daging ku... Pengganti ku jikalau ku tiada didunia ini lagi...

Love you, Abang Asil & Baba always... =)

Always...

Hapy 3rd Birthday To My Little Asil (December 21st)...

To My Son,
I hope you know how much I love you so,
I might embarrass you from time to time
By giving lots of love and needless kisses,
But you need to know Ummi loves you so,
Before you were born I didn't know just
how much I would love you so,
But when I looked into your eyes for
the first time,
I felt my heart grow and grow,
A Mothers love is hard to explain,
Not everyone will feel the same,
Now that you are getting older I felt
the need to tell you,
Just how much I love you so,
Time may pass day after day or year
after year,
But the love I have for you grows
nearer and dearer to my heart each
day and year,
To My Son I hope you know just how much
I love you so...

Selamat menyambot ulang tahon yang ke 3 wahai anakku Muhamad Isyraq Asil... Smoge Allah memberkati dan melindongi diri mu selalu... Insya'allah, amin... Dan smoge kamu menjadi anak yang soleh dan cerdik... Insya'allah, amin...

Ummi dan Baba akan sentiase mendoakan kesejahteraan dirimu dan adekmu... We love both of you very very very much... Sayang Abang and Adek selalu... =)

A Shout Out For My Dearest Cousin Lala @ Saurah Sayuti...

A Birthday Poem From Me To You...

Each year our birthday forces us to grow,

Into the person whom we have yet to know...

With circumstances that hopefully have made us wise,

When we learn from our multitude of mistakes and tries...

To take a long look at these years gone past,

To really reflect on how time travels fast,

To know that every day that each of us lives,

Is a great gift from The Almighty that He lovingly gives...

So as you celebrate another passing year again,

On this day that marks the beginning of the moment when,

You entered this world for a purposeful plan...

Just remember your worth doesn’t come from man...

Your worth comes from our Creator who made you unique...

Who gave you knowledge and words to speak...

Who doesn’t care about a past success or failure,

But only cares about your heart that His presence makes pure...

False paths, lost dreams, wrong choices, it’s true...

Fills your past as well as everyone else’s, too...

There may be those lost memories that hinder your day,

But with The Almighty in your mind the regrets soon melt away...

Cherish this day and who you’re growing to be...

This special person that all of us already see...

Embrace this coming year and live each day anew,

By becoming the excellent one The Almighty created in you...

Happy 19th Birthday Dearest Cuzzie!! Woo hoo!! A year older and a year wiser... Alhamdulillah...

Smoge dipanjangkan umor dan dimurahkan rezki... Insya'allah, amin... Although we seldom meet due to our busy schedules; me with my commitments and you with yours, I'm sure we're close in each other's heart... Love you little sister... Mmmmmmuah!!

I've got a little something for you... Insya'allah we'll arrange a meet up soon K?

=)

Love,

Your Cousin Lily...

Happy 30th Birthday To My Dearest Baba...

{-Birthday Gift-}

There are things
I'd like to say to you my love on your special day:

I am forever thankful Allah sent you my way.

Like a gift from up above,
you showed me how it is to feel real love.

I know many mountains we've had to climb
and sometimes forever has seemed like a very long time.

Yes, we've endured our share of pain,
but together we have so much to gain.

Bigger mountains may lie ahead,
but together there is no hill we cannot tread.

So always remember my love for you,
and there is nothing together we cannot do.

I'll be here forever - my love is true.
The person beside me, that would be you

Love you lots Baba...

I hope you love the birthday cake that I bought for you... [Sori, I beli cake instant jer... Nak buat cake tapi kesuntokkan mase... Insya'allah, next year I buat OK...]

May Allah swt grant all your prayers, and may He protect you in sickness and also in health... Insya'allah... Amin...

Thank you for being there for babies and me...

Thru good and bad times, we'll always be together...

Insya'allah... Amin... =)

A Year Older And A Year Wiser... Alhamdulillah...

A birthday is just another day,

young of mind, yet youthful looks go away.

Another year older,

the world seems a bit colder.

Yet my heart still burns,

and for love it forever yearns.

Another year older,

I grow even bolder.

Life is for us to learn from,

as calculated as a mathematical sum.

Another year older,

hurting blazes now just smolder.

Letting go of past rage and pain,

living life and feeling sane.

Another year older,

a tear on your shoulder.

Life has not been so bad,

my tear is of joy not because I'm sad.

Another day older,

more pages added to my folder.

I'm glad of whom I am today,

I would not have myself any other way.

So don't mind that I write my own birthday rhyme,

I've lived through my life up till this time.

I think it is safe to say,

that things will go as planned His way.

He's got more for me yet,

It'll be even better I bet.

Another year older,

and I am in His debt.

Nice Weekend & Happy Birthday 3rd Bro In-Law, Yus...

Our mini little family went on a little shopping trip to Mustafa Centre last Friday... Since we both, parents aren't working on weekends, so yup, why not do a little shopping spree till wee morning and sacrifice some of our sleeping time... Anyway, it's been a while since we last been there...

The next day, hubby was on his National Reservist... I stayed the whole entire day at the crib... Did the laundry, watched TV, played with the babies and my pet cat, house cleaning bla bla bla... Thought of bringing the babies out for a walk but nah, I ended up spending the whole entire day at home...

Sunday, was the day that we were invited to hubby's close friend's (Deen and Md Nor) wedding... Well you see, Deen and Md Nor (both brothers) were our ex-school mates during our secondary school years... We met up with the rest of hubby's old time friends (Fadzli, Anuar, Chiko and there's another guy whom I can't quite recall his name)... Sharol (another one of our ex-secondary school mates) came with his wife, Juli and son, Iman... All of us sat at the same table... I tell you, the wedding venue, was full of people... I might say the place was pretty crampy and to top it all off, it was a freaking HOT SUNDAY AFTERNOON... Gosh!! My babies were getting all sweaty and agitated... Asyura was crying her lungs out... Asil on the other hand kept on asking to be carried... We had to juggle the babies plus our food and everything... Took some pictures with the newly weds... Teased and laughed... I sat and began to ponder... All of us, we were friends during our school days and now, each one of us went on our separate ways to pursue our own path, fell in love and got married... Memories of the good old school days... Yes, they are still fresh in my mind...

We left the venue at about 4 plus in the late afternoon... Went to the Giant Tampines Hypermarket... Did some grocery shopping before taking a little stroll at Pasir Ris Park...

Had a late supper again at home and this time, I did the cooking... I made boiled broccolis, scramble eggs in milk sauce plus breaded chicken breast... Yummy!! Actually kan, I should cut down on this late supper thingy coz it's really not helping me to lose weight... Must try to control myself with all this deliciously tasty food... hee hee...

OK... Before I end my entry for today... I have a little birthday poem for my 3rd bro in-law who's celebrating his 36th birthday today with his dearest wife, Muz... Hee hee... So romantic gitu kan? Kan? Kan? I'm actually not use to much talking with all 4 of my brother in-law... Tak tahu la kenape but from the first time I met them, I just don't talk that much to them... I only make it a habit to talk whenever it's necessary... Funny thing is I'm pretty much jovial and friendly whenever I hang around with their wives... Well, except for one of them though, coz sorry to say this but, I find her a bit of a brag, show-off and someone who likes to demoralise others... pfft... This type of person is seriously NOT MY CUP OF TEA and normally, I don't give a hoot to this type of people... I would just stay away from them...

So to my 3rd bro in-law, Yuz: Selamat Menyambot Hari Lahir Yang Ke 36... A year older and a year wiser... Yes? Semoge ape yang anda doa akan dimakbolkan oleh Allah swt. Amin... Both Rizal and I know what is it that both you and your wife truly need in your life right now... We know...

Life’s Journey

It only happens once each year,
Book the train and pack your gear.
Your destination seems unknown,
As you sit there, all alone.

Something internal, in a rush,
Just like the toilet, we usually flush.
Constantly staring at the clock,
Are you waiting for your flock?

Savour the moment, don’t wait for the end,
Nobody knows, if you may extend.
Journey divided into equal parts,
Today is another, we’ll add to the charts.

Your train has left, from the town of birth,
Hopefully located, on planet earth.
The next stop, might seem the same,
It shall reveal, what you became.

Happy Birthday Bro!! Insya'allah, we will pray for you too... It's just a matter of time... Have faith and never give up hope OK... ;)

OK... SLIDE uploaded...

Happy 1st Birthday Adek @ Nur Ikramina Asyura...

Nur Ikramina Asyura...

Happy Birthday To You!! Happy Birthday To You!! Happy Birthday!! Happy Birthday!! Happy Birthday To You!!

Selamat Menyambot Ulang Tahon Yang Pertame Buat Anak Kecil ku, Nur Ikramina Asyura...

A message to my little daughter (at her age now, she might not be able understand but as she grow and starts learning in school, she (and her big brother) will have the privilege of going into my blog and be able to read its content...) :-

I always pray that both you and your brother would grow up to be filial children. I don't expect the both of you to shower your Ummi and Baba with worldly pleasures in order to please us... But there's one thing that we would like to ask from the both of you - your love towards us, parents...

It would make our days worthwhile knowing that we have to good children who treat us as bestfriends, share problems and point of views with us, spend quality time with us and most importantly, children who appreciates and understand the true meaning of cherishing bitter sweet memories together in a family...

We don't need you or your Abang to shower us with gifts... But what we want is for the both of you to appreciate us as parents, who try our very best to bring the both of you up walau macamane susah sekalipon...

Our hearts would break, if one day, you both were to neglect us as we grow older and who knows, maybe senile (Insya'allah, I will always pray for the goodness in our family... Amin)...

Whatever circumstances it maybe, Nur Ikramina Asyura and Muhamad Isyraq Asil, you both will always be the sweet and adorable pair of apples in our eyes... Love you both a lot!! Mmmmmuah!!

OK, before I go all teary any moment now, I think it's best if I start my birthday poem for my little birthday girl... So little Asyura (if you're reading this in a few years to come), here's a little poem dedicated especially on your 1st birthday... Be mommy & daddy's good girl OK... Oh!! And Abang Asil too!! Be our great hero in the family and do us proud both of you!! Jadilah anak2 yang mithali... Insya'allah... Amin...


A poem for my little baby girl...

Come back into the fold of my protective wings.
Let not your spirit be restless for you are here with me.

I will always be your one on which to lean, your rock, your number one fan.
Fear not child to speak your mind.

Undo the wrongs of the day and together we'll make them right.
Speak of heartaches so that they may be subdued.

Share your joys so that they may be my joys too.
Always know that I am with you for you are my precious gift from Allah.

I will always love you and keep you safe from life's hardships.
I will cushion your bumps and tend to your scrapes.

I will guide you tenderly; Your brilliant eyes will always be my sun
Share with me your heart and I with you.

I love you...

Love, Ummi...
