Mixtures..

Salam..

A month has passed by without any post on this blog.. my hubby has been asking me to update this blog.. but I just couldn't find the time & the right mood.. it has been quite a busy month for me with lots of things happened.. i'll try to keep this post short & sweet.. (honestly, I'm still not in the right mood;p)

1. my new 'career'..;)

You must be wondering what can possibly keep me busy apart from the usual house chores.. i'm now officially a babysitter.. but for 2 months only..;) I'm babysitting irfan hafiy, a very cute 3-month-old baby of Fairuz & Asma'.. Fairuz is working here in Limerick with the geriatric team while Asma' is doing her medical & surgical rotation here.. now, I have a new routine on the weekdays.. & now I have a taste of a true housewife;) it can be very tiring really.. babysitting is not a new thing for me.. I've babysat a few babies before & hafiy is the youngest of all for now:) hafiy is a well behaved baby & I've learned his everyday routines (although he can change his routine everyday;p).. it's not that hard to babysit him.. when he is sleeping, I'll do the chores - cooking, cleaning etc.. and at the end of the day, I'm usually very tired.. although I have the whole night sleep uninterrupted.. unlike the mothers of young babies.. I must say I'm very impressed of those who can function very well although they have only a few hours of night time sleep after the exhausting daytime chores! well,I guess it is a good practise for me(?);P

2. birthdays..

There is quite a long list of birthday boys & girls for January & February.. started with Fairuz's birthday on 22nd Jan, my dear hubby's birthday on 2nd Feb, my sister & nieces' birthday on 3rd Feb and Ustaz Wan's birthday on 7th Feb.. I've made 3 cakes for the birthday boys - red velvet cake for Fairuz, fresh fruit cake for my hubby & marble cheesecake with cream cheese frosting for ustaz.. None for my dear sister as she is far away in Malaysia.. i'Allah someday I'll make a cake for her & Nusaibah:)

Happy birthday to the birthday boys & girls! May Allah bless you always...

3. inhuman humans..

It was very sad & disturbing reading the news lately on the unfortunate babies who were found lifeless at different places back in Malaysia.. 3 babies in 3 consecutive days.. how on earth do people have the heart to do these (or should I say these people have no heart at all?).. I've heard from my friends who are working in Malaysia that there is a very high numbers of unplanned/unwanted pregnancies (especially those who are not married) - sadly many of them are Muslims.. unwanted pregnancies can lead to lies, feeling terrified, panicky and eventually lead to abandonment or worse, killing of these poor innocent babies.. there is only one solution to this matter.. prevention.. for prevention is always better than cure.. and how to prevent? the answer is simple.. back to Islam.. the teachings of Islam is the perfect solution..

"O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."

(translation from verse 208, surah Al-Baqarah)

Read the Quran, understand, think & practise.. Don't let Islam be only in your name or only been written on your IC.. Let us be a true Muslim.. Ameen.. InsyaAllah..

I think that's all for now.. hopefully I'll find the mood to write again in the near future.. 'til we meet again in the next post,I'Allah..

P/s: I really think I need a good massage therapy:)
