We got RM1.95 for this. Bayangkan orang yang kerjanya kutip plastik sahaja untuk sara hidup...

I just had my wudhu for Zohor prayers. On the way to the praying mat, I heard my handphone ringing. There was an unknown number flashing on the screen. I wiped my wet hands and face, and immediately answered. IRenang? Oh, potential student ni. Cakap, cakap, cakap... Explain, explain, explain... Letak telefon, ready to go pray. Suddenly Sofia woke up. Nak menyusu pula dia. How on earth I'm going to pray? Dah la sekali menyusu agak lama juga. But Sofia is not the one to blame here. No. Not Sofia. I should go pray first. Utamakan solat. Walaupun angkat telefon on time pun tapi tak jaga hubungan dengan Allah, pemberi rezeki, tak dapat juga. Sambil menyusukan Sofia, istighfar banyak-banyak... 

Initially the plan was to just accompany mum to get a steel rack for her pots. Somehow the stroller (a used one someone gave us) got stuck so we planned on getting a new stroller for Sofia as well. Nearly 4 months of not going to the mall, I feel so awkward! Is it because now I'm carrying a baby or what? I feel like everyone's watching me and Sofia. Apahal pandang-pandang. Seriously, rasa sangat janggal. And that, was on a Wednesday, weekdays yang tak ramai orang pun. I had to carry Sofia all the way until we got her a stroller. Going up the escalator while holding Sofia close to my chest make me feel so gayat I can fell my legs shaking. Legs spread apart to maintain balance. Siapa yang naik lif mengangkang? Hahaha... Whatever, janji selamat. Oh by the way, we didn't go straight to buy a stroller. Singgah Toys R Us dulu haa... I am one excited mother. I showed Sofia a lot of toys; pushing the buttons and see how she reacted. She was wide awake and so alert, eyes wi...

I took Sofia out yesterday with mum. Initially the plan was to just stay inside the car while mum get the things she needed. Dropped by at our usual hardware store. When I say usual, it meant we frequent the store so much until the workers there know us well enough. I think I frequent the store a lot more when I was pregnant. When I was heavily pregnant, I still went there to get cements and stuffs for our centre. At one point, the Indonesian lady even said I might give birth anytime. Oh, the hardware store was operated by lady staffs. Which is one of the reasons why we frequent that particular store. So when she saw Sofia yesterday she was so excited she wanted to just pull Sofia out of the car from the window! Mum parked right in front of the store (kata dah biasa kan) and I was sitting at the back. I did open the window just to have a chat with her but I didn't expect her to pull Sofia. So I said let me just get out of the car... And I let her carry Sofia. Yes she was so ...

Bought a new pair of shoes! Yes I went shopping! After nearly 4 months weh.... And yes I immediately wore the shoes. Felt so embarrassed when putting those sandals inside the box on top of their counter, though. Oh, those sandals was actually a gift from my husband when we first got married. "Kasut pergi kolam", he said.

I found a very cool app that can edit Sofia's pictures easily! The thing is, I've gotten into a habit of taking pictures of Sofia every month. Okay scratch that out. I took pictures of Sofia almost every day. Every. Single. Day. And her progress too... First time tengok bunga, first time pandai main, first time naik kereta, first time naik kereta duduk dalam car seat, first time naik kereta pergi KL, first time naik kereta pergi Ipoh... A WHOLE LOT OF FIRSTS! So I found this cool app with a lot of cute stickers that can be used to edit those pictures. Starting from when the baby is just a few days old until he/ she reached years of age! BABY STORY CAMERA I downloaded it from Google Play Store for free! But there are a lot of advertisement... Tak kisahla kan. Heh. See? A lot of cute stickers! Dari mengandung sampailah beranak, hah. The only downside is if you made a mistake, you can't go one step back. It will erase the whole thing... ...

I rarely enter blog competitions. A few years back I did entered some, though. Blog Pilihan Bahasa Inggeris ke something like that. Got tagged to enter a bloglist contest. Rules are simple; follow the blog, post the banner, tag other blogger friends... But ah, I just don't feel like it. Only tried once; to get on Orked @ Sya's bloglist and dah cukup. But this one, Top Commentor Dorsett Pink  attracted me. Maybe because it required reading. And also because the blog posts got me interested so I don't mind following and listing her blog in mine. I didn't want to follow a blog that didn't interest me. She's a mother blogger pursuing phD.  And so I started commenting on posts that are relatable to my life right now. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, kids... In just 3 days, I'm the top commentor. Hahahah! Gotta hang in there until 31st December 2016. From zero to hero.
