a proper birthday wish

as if it was not proper enough before, haha
you see, it was my daughter's birthday last month
and it was also my son's earlier this month
wait, are we talking a successful family planning here or what?

unfortunately, i did not write any proper post for both of them
it's funny, cause i feel guilty
like i've wrote in my previous post before, it has been a busy couple of months for me
RU audit sucks! MyMOHES audit sucks! Overtime sucks!
but, it's the job, deal with it!

so yes, i found this cute quote, and a design background
and tried to do a little bit of editing with picmonkey
and there, i manage to come out with this

dear najah,

you've turned 4

you've suddenly become taller, wiser and independent

you want to do everything on your own

from brushing your teeth, to shower by yourself, wear your cloths and comb your hair

you tie your own shoes, you do your bed and put away your toys

you love it when i read to you stories

you love it when i hold you to sleep

at times, you were cranky

cranky enough to make this mom burst out her anger

but still you come back to that mom

and hug her

also at times, i can see your role as a big sister

protective towards your brother and sister

i love you so much

i don't think you will never have the idea

dear nadeem,

time do flies fast

you are 2 years old

it was a crazy two years ride for all of us, and it is still now

i wish you will completely heal from it soon

it is my dua every single day, every single prayer

you are a strong boy, with two big eyes, and a cute little nose

you talk a lot, you eat a lot

and you still couldn't let go of my boobs

you miss it terribly everyday when i went for work, and even when i'm home

you are so attached with your tok abah, and love both your sister so much

but, in a boys way--play rough!

you love books and knows all the animals

you can even tell a different between a goat and a sheep

you can pronounce the word 'centipede' and sings ABC and 123

you don't how proud i am

how good i feel

i love you 

with all my heart

wow...those words up there, were sardonic to me
in my thoughts, busy and happy should not be sitting side by side
like, how can you be happy when you are in such a busy state?

but in-depth, if you really love what you do, whether it's your job or your hobbies
you'll find the excitement in it
definitely!

so, yeah
i've been busy the whole month for the upcoming Research University audit in february
it sucks! since it's going to be an annual thing-y
hence, the lack of updates--
pardon me

i'm trying my best to stay focus on the job
and put all my heart in it (LOVE your job, geddit?)
at the same time, praying to GOD to make it easy on me
and Alhamdulillah, everything is almost done and complete
of course there are few hiccups here and there, but everything is still under control
pheww

5th January 2014

it is the 2nd year najah medina at Genius Qayyum
it is also the first day of me and husband working on sunday
well, we get through the day pretty smoothly
but there's also a minute or two where we subconsciously thought that it was monday
haha--

ok, enough about us
so, after over a month of school break, she's all set for her 2nd year at GQ
totally excited, she slept super early that night (before 8pm!, huh)
and easily woke up with a simple line coming from my mouth

"Najah, wake up! School jom!"

we had our regular everyday breakfast at Aminah's
as usual, her orders will be 3 half-boiled eggs to be shared with her dad
then, off we send her to GQ
it's her 2nd year, so we didn't take any annual leave or hours
and just like our normal routine, she salams us and we exchange kisses, and there she goes
can't hardly wait to meet her friends and teachers!

anyway, people always mistook her as a 5 or a 6 years old toddler because of her height
and also because she talks a lot!
when actually, she's only going to turn 4 in two weeks time

mama and daddy are definitely going to plan something for your 4th birthday
nothing exclusive, maybe just a simple, yet to be remembered small family occasion

2014, hail to the new year

via pinterest

it's a spanking brand new year
and i'm hugging it tight with all my heart
resolutions?
i have quite a number, so just to name a few--

to get my own driving licence
to further my studies
to learn new recipes
to read the Quran at least a page a day
to never miss any of the five prayers
to stay healthy
and to spend the money more wisely

2014, please be awesome
InsyaAllah

the last friday of 2013

geez...
i write again today
two post in a week?
oh wow--

to commemorate the last friday of 2013, i told myself that i should write a bit today
as you all know, today is not just the last friday of the year, but it is also the last friday of working days for us who lives in johor
to us government people mostly--

a few friends from other states did asked, how do i feel working on sunday?
all i can say is that, i've never been there, so i don't know
i don't know what to feel
i don't know what to expect
i don't know if it such a good idea, or bad, at all
but all i know is

hehe..but you know what
upon writing this, i am actually looking forward for the new working hours
let's bring it!

on that 5ive!

december has always been that month of love to us
of course to me and the husband
and this december means so much more to us since we have hit yet another milestone in our relationship
Alhamdulillah...

the FIVE years of togetherness
the FIVE years of belong-ness (if there's even such a word ahha--)
the FIVE years of throwing tantrums at each other
the FIVE years of being one and another backbone
is one of a kind lifelong lesson
and yes we are still learning, we are still adapting, and we are still cherished each other company

that anniversary outing at genting was such a blast
even though it was quite tiresome with THOSE two around!
and with no cakes, no fancy gifts, no beautiful outfits
our time was well spent with laughter and giggles

so, here's to my sayang, noranizam

happy 5th anniversary--
marrying you is by far my best decision ever in my life
i love you
i love you
i love you
