Assalamualaikum, Alhamdulillah. Namanya Muhammad Umar Hidayat bin Tun Hafidzul Hakim . Lahir lewat petang Ahad 12 Mei 2013, Hari Ibu. Kata adik ipar dalam SMS pada malamnya: "Mak Long dah tau ke baby dah lahir? Kali ni betul-betul Muhammad" . Hahaha. Maklumlah, masa Sumayyah sudah salah sangka. Sampaikan Moochi tak mesra dengan Mak Long akibat dipanggil 'Muhammad' ketika dalam kandungan. Umar "Panggil Umar. Sorry Haffizzatul Aini Aton :)" Begitu tag adikku pagi seterusnya, sempena memperkenalkan Umar di Facebook. Umar. I reserve this one name for my son. "Dah agak dah. No problem. Aku tetap akan namakan anak aku Umar :p" balas aku. Kecewa? Not to that extend. Memang kami berdua suka kepada Saidina Umar R.A. Dan memang telah disebut-sebut hajatnya menamakan (andai anak lelaki) Umar. My Umar will be next! "Papa Kimi dah ambil nama anak Mak Long. Jadi Umar ni Mak Long yang punya" , kataku berseloroh dengan Hakimi...

Assalamualaikum, Delayed post; original posting date: 15 -21 April 2013 In "The Wedding Planner" Mary (J.Lo) said that if you can't wed, you planned them. As for me, if I am not the bride, I can always be the bridesmaid. True enough, in 3 years I have been a bridesmaid for 7 times. 27 Dressess much? Hahaha. I find myself unable to say no to the brides and I do jokes about being a bridesmaid for 27 times; but I never thought it could reach this integer. Thus, before another 20 -- On a bright sunny 13th of April, wearing a beautiful peplum dress, surrounded by family and friends, on a day where everybody is happy, with the scent of fresh flowers floating in the air, while I walked the 7th bride to the her dais -- this bridesmaid decide that it is time to retire. I 'catch' my final bouquet. I actually love the wedding songs! Why now? Let's see... Firstly, because I believe I have walked every possible bride on their wedding day. There shouldn...

Assalamualaikum, Suddenly all spinning wheels come to a halt. At least for now. The hardest part has ended. Phew. Cue in Iron Man Three's " Battle Finale "! Usain Bolt poses! Winning dance! Princess-in-hanbok pose, breathe properly and smile sweetly... "Alhamdulillah, we made it alive" . In my tired mind, that was how the moment celebrated yesterday. The last part doesn’t really fit the theme song, the princess-in-hanbok. I just don't care. Hahaha. We're only half way through everything. But we sure have covered the 20-80 part. Like I said, the hardest part has ended. I believe that if we can survive that part, we can survive the whole deal.   "Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all." - Sam Ewing   Winning Personality Somehow, in between sleepless nights, weird dreams, extended working hours and excessi...
