Oh my..how long has it been since my last post???
Apart of me dah malas to update. Not that I had nothing to share, too much actually but I am squeezed! I had so little time nowadays!
I had the toughest Ramadhan ever to start with. Despite of 11 days off duty, I still struggle to keep everything in tact; I dun know is it because I had to deal with 2 toddlers or the fact that my menses is messing with my body, or just because I am getting old...But it was one hell of a tiring Ramadhan. Nevertheless, I started projects on two things I love most; driving with my lovely kids and sewing for my lovely kids!
The last I had drove a car was in 2008? I dun remember but it was before I was engaged. And since than, I have always had a driver. Now, besides the fact that I had no one to drive me around like a queen, I believe it is time for me to be independent. It has been too long that I depend on people. It was really scary the first day. I was constantly checking the mirrors, any mirror, I was so afraid that I am driving too slow and with the two kids screaming out of their lungs, which was no help I find it super hard to concentrate. If you drive behind a car that you cannot see the driver for being too short, and keeps on hitting the brakes and driving below 60, that could be me.
I had Rayyan with Legos!
Kauthar, besides being strapped, I still had to bring along soft toys, rattles and dolls.
Owh, now that I drive everyday, I am a bit confident, just a bit, and I have learnt to not to care less what ever sound my kids are making, I think my driving is getting better just that I need to adjust myself to the car; parking is also a challenge. Take me hours to park a car! And no, I have no new car, sob sob but I have been given the mandate to drive the Harrier and I am a bit mobile now.
Anyways, I managed to sew a pair of Baju Melayu for Rayyan and Kebaya-kebarung for Kauthar, just in time for Raya. I never left sewing, I still hand sew so many things but I left the sewing machines right after I got pregnant of Rayyan. I can't see a sewing machine while I was pregnant. Just imagining the wheel going on makes me dizzzy, and since then, the machine has been a house for dust.
My sewing was not top notch but everyday that I sew, everything seems to come back and I keeps on getting better. Well, my teacher once told me, sewing is like driving, if youre a good driver that youre a good tailor. I dun really know where the two ties but I do find it a bit related. And sewing seriously challenge my patience. With the two kids running around with scissors, I almost lost it but I found that I can now prioritize which comes first, haha.
A wee bit on Raya
We celebrated first of Eid in Terengganu, was there since a week before Raya. And Lost like 4kgs while I was there. It is a challenge fasting with 2 kids at your in laws. Haha...Anybody looking for a slimming tips, this might work. But I gained all that kilos back just a few days of Raya! I was super skinny la kunon during the last days of Ramadhan.
The tots in Mommys creations!
I felt sooo sorry for myself coz there was no Raya pics of my family. My husband pun dah cakap since the first Raya up to the fourth day of Raya pun macam mencurahkan air ke daun keladi....
On the second Raya, I had this turban on which I tot was super cun
But ended up looking like a makcik, and the only pic was taken by my mom in law.
And the first weekend was spent in Penang. we had a wedding to attend to. And yet, no pics. How sad, kan!
