The ABCs of Life

Tagged by ainaana …so here’s 7 facts info about me.

1. I actually love number 7, just love…and it’s not my lucky number for I do not believe in such things. I spent 22 marvellous years of my life living in Lot 7 (that’s house no 7) with 7 remarkable siblings called the Sevenlords. So writing 7 facts about myself seems too interesting

2. I’m married to a very special person and I have two beautiful kids that hardly sleep at the proper timing.

3. Like ainaana I’m an INFJ too and language is my gift. Sort of. I love writing in all three languages I know which is Malay, Arabic and English. I’m into poetry though I never had proper training in writing. Several works of mine could be found all around the cyberspace and also a joint anthology by GKLN entitled Wilayah Cinta . For your information, we produced the anthology together. We don’t only write but work on the whole thing together. Of course the coordinators have more work than others but that was a great experience for everyone Alhamdulillah . The hardest part is, to now sell them and since I’m too faraway from home I’ve not been selling. Thanks to the Sevenlords few copies have been sold though.

4. I’m always the youngest or the younger one in class or the community but sometimes my thoughts are a bit too advance for my seniors. I was a year younger than my classmates in primary and secondary and I bother not to count the gap any more when I’m at the university. It’s like going to the same class with my eldest sister everyday. And I got to call everyone in class ‘kakak’ (elder sister) and feel extremely estranged when I’m with my peers. The good thing was, some ‘kakak’ 2 really treat me like ‘adik’ (younger sister).

5. About being an INFJ, I love to work with people and for people though some might think I’m a bit too shy and quiet. When people were thinking about graduating, finding a job or continuing a higher degree, I was thinking of working for a charity in Palestine or at least take part in developing Islamic education system in my country.

And… maybe that’s why I didn’t think twice when I signed up to be a housewife

6. I am a Malaysian though I’m not really sure that I’m 100% Malay. My father is, my mom’s not, but she’s in her IC…well, it’s just too complicated but it doesn’t really matter anyway right?

7. I hardly put on weight though I’ve really tried to. The only time I had the chance to put some real kilos was when I was expecting my first child…and simply lost them just few weeks after delivery!

Alright that’s 7 Alhamdulillah , sorry ainaana for the long wait. Too busy with everything else lately and might not update frequently. Good day peeps!

Have you heard about littlekittle.com? Or Malaysian Homeschool Unite? If you’re a parent (especially Malaysians) and haven’t been to these sites before, you ought to pay them a visit soon for they provide a great platform for parents to share their experience and exchange thoughts and questions on homeschooling or educating your children at home.

When I first read Mamafiza’s blog at littlekittle.com I was truly amazed by her family. Young parents aged 23 with three children and already doing serious homeschooling! Plus, to make me more envious, she’s a WAHM okay? I do realise that many young Malaysian parents are now aware about the importance of education that begins and continues at home, but finding this family was still quite some news to me. It’s interesting to learn that at a very young age, both Mamafiza and husband are doing well with their expanding family when many others at their age are still juggling with options in life and uncertain of their life path.

Now, we can all join them in their exciting journey and benefit from their experience and knowledge at Malaysia Homeschool Unite. And from other parents and homeschoolers too. For your information, Mamafiza has also created the En Zeru Teru Nursing Cover (as advertised on this page) for the love of breastfeeding and children with unique characteristics unlike others available in today’s market. Made from good quality fabric, beautiful colours and pattern you’ll simply love (they’re just gorgeous!), smart design - you can see your baby and he/she can see you, the baby won’t feel uncomfortable being all covered up but also won’t be able to remove the cover. So if you’re planning on breastfeeding your baby or already a breastfeeding mommy, don’t forget to get your own En Zeru Teru Nursing Cover for comfortable discreet feeding in public whenever you’re out on the go.

It’s the time of the year when holidays are around the corner and shopping for gifts would be the most interesting activity to indulge. Brand new perfume for Emo, an awfully expensive lens for Mr. Spouse, new books for the kids and endless items for so many people in mind would be on my wish list. If only I could afford them though!

But thanks to a great online shopping service, you’ll find FragranceNet coupons, BabyCenter Store’s deals and many other exciting offers to cut some cost and save money, turning your wish list into a happy reality for everybody.
