The ABCs of Life

Assalamu’alaikum; peace be upon ye…

To all mothers out there, Selamat Hari Ibu, Happy Mother’s Day! Especially to my Momma, my granny, aunts and ma-in-law…also friends whom have just entered ‘motherhood’ - Nadd, Sue, Sarah…congratulations, happy parenting and may Allah bless

As for us in Lot 7 today; we’ve yet celebrated Mother’s Day but we’ve prepared for a small family get-together tomorrow InshaAllah…after a long break from the kitchen Alhamdulillah today I managed to make my favourite Black Bottom Cream Cheese cupcakes…they didn’t turn out as great as I hope they’d be but okaylah untuk orang yang lama bebenor tak buat kuih macam saya ni…;)

Lieawulf made her special fruit jellies and tried something new - buat dadih sampai satu periuk besar! Kata pun ‘tried’, maka itulah hasilnya :D...We haven’t test and taste the capuccino flavoured dadih yet but the aroma was great. We even sprinkled some MILO on top for extra umphhh :baca: bab menambah-menambah tu memangla pandai, tak payah cikgu ajar . I think we have about 30 cups of dadih altogether and I told Liea, if we couldn’t finish this on our own, let’s get a box, fill it with ice and bring our extra dadihs to the ‘pasar’ (market). Liea said ok and practised some of her hidden marketing talents, calling out ‘Beli dadih kak, satu 50sen!’… Agak-agak ada orang beli tak dadih kitorang ni eh?

I’ve been restlessly trying to rest - whatever that means - these few weeks. Tho I don’t do anything much, I don’t feel well, still. Everytime I tried doing ’something’ - being active - I’ll feel too tired and my body starts aching. But even if I do nothing, I still feel the same anyway. I think this pregnancy has been the most challenging of all. Dah banyak kali false alarm; dan perlukan terlalu banyak rehat. Moga Allah ampunkan segala dosa dan jadikan zuriat kami yang soleh dan musleh belaka InshaAllah...

Nevertheless, Alhamdulillah, I do feel a lot better emotionally, having my parents and siblings around; they’ve been not only great help to us - my lil family - but they’ve also been a great source of fun and joy especially to my kids. The baby should be here InshaAllah soon and we’ve been waiting please make du’a - remember us in your prayers ya

Our online boutique at www.ilhamzayyan.com is still operating though I do admit we’re moving a bit slow…I’m doing whatever is possible and I hope to update the site whenever needed and possible too…Terima Kasih pada yang berkunjung dan membeli…pada yang selalu jenguk-jenguk dan puji-puji tu, next time boleh cuba belilah pulak ye InshaAllah…Oh ye, stok jubah dan tudung 42-45 inci dah semakin berkurangan…as mentioned at the site, kuantiti sangatlah terhad manakala kualiti InshaAllah BEST, jadi kalau ada yang berkenan di hati tu kena cepat-cepat tempah dan beli sebab tak dijamin akan keluar yang serupa lagi…nak reserve dulu pun boleh with a small sum of deposit and we’ll keep it for you for a period of time…boleh dibincangkan InshaAllah…And since I’m currently in Kelana Jaya for delivery and pantang, to those interested nak tengok terus products, silalah buat appointment untuk walk in ke teratak kami..email nurain7@gmail.com or simply text/call 019-7572550…

And did I tell you that Handzalah has gone to school?!!

Couldn’t believe that he’s finally a pre-schooler…but he’s now and we’ll talk about that later InshaAllah when I hopefully am able to make time to write to you guys again SOON!

Happy Mother’s Day to all
