We had an amazing Father’s Day… doing nothing. We always have to rush here rush there, so Dean just wanted a day of just being at home. It was literally Dean’s dream come true. He had a whole day of watching UFC and Naruto and whatnot, and yesterday was the day the phrase “Go ask Mommy” was […]

mornings with them
Sponsored Post Mornings with my babies are seriously the best. They’re both morning people so they wake up with a smile and Dean and I would tickle them in bed together before all of us get ready for work/school/nap (in Mariam’s usual case… zzzz….). I value my mornings so much so I get really annoyed […]

dia ni sapa?
I’m getting more recognised in the public (but really, most are just Daniel and Mariam fans -__-“) but it’s so weird because I’m not a celebrity. I don’t act, I don’t sing, and apart from the reality show, I am not a regular TV personality. I think the people who truly know/recognise me are the ones who […]

gen Y
Someone elder said to me the other day; “I don’t understand your generation. Why you people like that ah?” Defensive, I jumped back and said, “Whatttt!” “You people are very unhappy and unsatisfied all the time. You want a lot of salary with only a few years experience, you never want to do things outside […]

first school concert
While snapping this photo, I was literally dancing and begging them to at least smile for the camera. #whydotheylooksomiserablewhenthecameraisout #defaultcameraface Daniel and Mariam had their first ever school concert the other day and I need to blog about this so they will always remember it. They were both in different classes so they had separate performances […]

mariam does her passport
Everyone who follows my Insta posts would know that I’m super busy at work with the Raya madness now. Everyday it’s late nights in the warehouse and the beauty is that the team bonds so much every Ramadan, we pray together, we break fast together, we laugh and sweat and get stressed together. It’s a […]

raya eve
My view right now. It’s Raya eve and this year we are sleeping over my parents’ house and it’s so fun with my sister’s family here too. The house is chaotic and I can see happiness in my parents’ faces having the complete family here with them. Because we are a small family, one person’s […]

what i learned on daniel’s 3rd birthday
Daniel’s birthday is always around Ramadhan time so poor guy never really had a big celebration. The first year, we had a cake after terawih and a lot of people reading doa for him which was nice. Second birthday it was Ramadhan as well and we celebrated with a cake in an intimate setting. Intimate […]

have you seen my passport?
Ok so let me fill you in on my family holiday that didn’t happen this week. We were all set, did our packing list, set aside all the kids’ jackets and shoes and clothes and medicine (this is our first real family trip with both kids so I was very nervous and kiasu – brought […]

i don’t like it either
Potty-traning is really frustrating sometimes. It’s not a 3-day thing like all the articles tell you (LIES, ALL LIESSSS), it takes much longer than that. The other day, a close friend had her 6-year old accidentally pee in public, I think I also had accidents as a child (one involved me wetting my mom’s friend’s […]

mariam’s first word
Mariam’s first word was Daddy. Well, it was more like didi. But WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT MARIAM OK?!! Let’s not talk about this. Today, for the first time ever she said Mi. Short for Mommy obviously, so I was sooooo excited. She says Mamamamama all the time, but I’ve been teaching her to […]

3 days in paris
Suddenly there was the news about the mass killing in France. Dean looked at me and we instantly had the same worried look. We were going to Paris in 2 days time to shoot dUCk’s latest Limited Edition piece that was inspired from a place there, should we cancel our trip?? We were both worried […]

daniel’s birthday walk
Remember those times when you had birthdays in school and your mom sends a cake and a clown and a whole hoopla? YEAH ME NEITHER!!! Who does that?! I never had birthdays in school when I was younger… or maybe I just can’t remember. But mann… birthdays nowadays are no joke. When they turn 1, […]

Ok only my long time Proudduck readers would understand my excitement for this, hehe. Others would find this show-off-y but I promise you it’s nothing like that. It’s just that I’ve been talking about this a few times in my blog and I’d just like to share with you the story behind this thing I […]

we are all the same
Image from Google I had an interesting conversation with my maid today about an incident that happened few weeks back. Few weeks back, my inlaws hosted an open house and there was a band. They were performing all sorts of songs (English, Malay, Indonesian, Taylor Swift.. you name it), and they encouraged the crowd to […]

their first pet
So umm these came along when I picked up the kids from school. I stared at them, they stared at me. We were both sighing because we have no idea how this relationship even started. Haha! It was very cute though. Everyone from school came out with a little aquarium(? tupperware?? what do you call fish […]

NO MORE SURPRISES. We say that every year and every year, I find myself planning surprises with either Toots and Asma’ for our birthdays. Pftttt. WE NEED TO KEEP TO OUR WORDS, GUYS. Not young anymore haha. On her actual birthday we took her out for a Japanese dinner at Nobu and it was soooo nice. […]

why?
Daniel. Does. Not. Stop. Talking. And nowadays he interrupts me when I’m talking to other people, because he’s so excited to tell me something (usually it’s something really not that interesting like “Look Mommy, this is a tissue”). If I don’t acknowledge when he calls me, he gets really annoyed and he will keep on […]

to fellow parents
Admittedly, I’ve been so busy these past few weeks. I honestly thought things will slow down after Raya but seems like it’s the same pace *cries*. It’s gotten so bad that there’s not enough things in my fridge and by hook or by crook, I need to get my kids’ milk from the supermarket tonight. […]

getting recognition
Rezeki just comes unexpectedly most of time, when you least expect it to. When Dean and I work, we really really don’t look for any recognition or to win awards or anything like that. It’s truly what we love doing, building a business together, and what’s best is that we get to help the brands […]
