I’d catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I’d jump in front of a train for ya
You know I’d do anything for ya

I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby… (Grenade, Bruno Mars)

To all the young people out there who are reading this, especially young teenage girls that I read on papers seem to prefer living in smelly flat houses with their drug addict boyfriends rather than home with their families;

Your lovers will not catch a grenade for you! Bruno mars will not jump in front a train for you!  That sweet talking Indonesian guy from Lombok will not die for you!
YOUR MOTHER WILL!!  At least I know I would for Miki…

If fact many mothers are dying… not by exploding bombs and penetrating bullets but due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth.  Living in prosperous Malaysia may make us oblivious to this but every year, in all over the world, 350,000 moms die because of that. That’s one woman every 90 seconds.  Tell me can it be more distressing than this? When we all know that these deaths can be prevented?

My heart was really broken when I read about these poor women from HERE

As my blog readers probably have known, I am now 7 months pregnant and so far thank God I am in the pink of health and praying that this blessing will continue until I safely deliver this second baby of mine. I am seeing a very good OB/GYN and surrounded by probably ten hospitals and medical centers within ten kilometer radius of my home. But there are women out there in the other parts of the world probably have never met a doctor. Yes, it is sad. Watch this…

We all know Mother’s Day is coming really soon. Usually Azman will take me to nice dinner with our son Miki to celebrate. This year, I am going to request for something different. I will cook a nice dinner for us but the money he usually spend for that fancy grilled steak or extra-fresh sashimi will still be spent – TO THE OTHER MOTHERS THAT NEED IT MORE THAN ME!

As Mummy-to-Miki is overly fed and overly nourished, I want Azman to buy a nutrition kit from here to other Moms who are hungry.Insya Allah, He will bless the hands that give.

I know a lot of fellow Moms and Dads read my blog. So come on everyone, this year let’s make a difference and donate to that deserving person who would jump in front of train for her child – A MOTHER!

Honour thy mother. Happy Mother’s Day in advance.

1) Weighs around 17-18 kilos. 109cm tall and taller than most kids his age.
2) Losing his curls but Mummy is still loving his bouncy surfer dude hair.
3) Has perfect teeth, at four years old, strictly no dental cavity.

4) Has a healthy appetite, eats everything non-spicy. Loves vegetables, pasta, Domino’s BBQ Chicken Pizza, mangoes and bananas, Big Apple’s Alien chocolate donut, ikan bilis and fish. Loves and would eat more of Mummy’s home-cooked food compared to eating out. Drinks up to 3 x 9oz milk per day.

5) Current obsession is the solar system. Careful when talking to him, he might ask you some pop quiz like what is the biggest planet in the solar system, what’s the planets closest to the sun, what can be found in Neptune and other questions that adults have long forgotten then answer. He can explain gravity too which darn cute and smart.

               Got tired while waiting for Mummy doing her shopping at Parkson

6) Loves science more than art. Would pay attention to coloring books for maybe 3 minutes but if we sit down with him with an human anatomy book, he can concentrate for hours. Loves learning about how our lungs and heart works, pumping the blood all over the body through arteries, veins, vena kava whatcamacallit… Mummy and Daddy is trying to go easy on explaining these stuff to him coz the more we explain, the more he asks until MUMMY DADDY TAK RETI JAWAP! *pengsan*

Getting ready to follow Daddy for Friday prayers.

7) Current favourite movie is Alvin and The Chipmunks 3. Must watch every night before sleep. Daddy loves Miki so much he gave him a 32in LCD in his room but still Miki prefers to sleep with us and somehow we are also reluctant to let him sleep away from us.

8 ) Getting better at swimming with floaties. Daddy wants to train him to use a snorkel so that Miki can follows us snorkelling later.

Lumba swimming dengan Daddy…

9) Loves Baby Adik in Mummy’s belly very much. Forever kissing, talking to the belly and asking “Bila Adik nak keluar?”.

10) No longer plays with our Iphones and his Ipad (except for checking the Solar System aps every night for the names of stars visible in real time), but Miki has gotten back to basic, playing with paper plane and ship, dunking the boat in water and once it got soggy, he would play masak-masak with it.

“Tengok ni Daddy, Miki strong! Daddy Boleh buat?”

11) Favourite songs are Lazy Song by Bruno Mars, Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5, Friday Night by Katy Perry, On the Floor by Jennifer Lopez featuring Pittbull and Love You Like A Long Song by Selena Gomez. He is forbidden however to watch MTV.

12) Manja. Still nak dukung every once in awhile when he got tired of walking at the mall or park. Like mana ada 4 year old berdukung lagi?

13) Cute! Very sweet and smiley face. In fact he is forever smiling and grinning. Maybe not so often in front of people he barely new but to the rest he is all sunshine and smiles. Mummy hope Baby Adik will also bermuka manis macam Yoep Miki.

14) Be good our darling son, be healthy, be smart. Believe in our God, Allah SWT and our Prophet is Muhammad SAW. If you have faith that strong you need not worry and believe in every Tweet, every Facebook status, every shared info you read on the social media. Learn to differentiate which is right and which is wrong. You will be fine. Mummy and Daddy loves you and Adik to bits! Alhamdulillah, praise the Al-Mighty for your presence in our lives.

Are you one of those people who uses gallons of water for every shower, everytime you brush your teeth and everytime you visit the throne? If yes chances are you are just like me, staying in this blessed tropical region with unlimited access to H2O.

I read somewhere that there are people in a desert country most prob in Middle east that show their hospitility to visitors by offering them a bath. Like imagine us Malaysian do that to friends that come over to the house.Like..

“Salam!”
“Salam! Jemput masuk.. Ko nak mandi?”
“Takpe lah terima kasih..”
“Eh kenapa pulak… sila lah mandi! Sila lah! Sila lah!”
“KO INGAT AKU BUSUK SANGAT KE SAMPAI KENA PAKSA MANDI NIH?”

LOL…Ok now let’s thank God we have plenty of water for our daily use ok!
