Change is inevitable

I've just gone through a life changing moment. I pray I can cope with it well, if not just nice. Career wise, i'm no longer in the comfort zone. When I joined this service, I foresee this moment will come when work is no more bed of roses or walk in the park. I wish with the change of this portfolio, it is for the better. 

Pity Ayra, mommy and daddy are busier day by day, sometimes, we neglect you, sometimes, we miss out some of your development but we never stop loving and putting high hope that you will grow up to be a smart, beautiful and humble muslimah. Insya Allah...

We try our best to make time for her.

Now trying to get her walking skill.

on a diff note, i superlove this top from thepoplook, comfy and cheap. and its PINK!

Ayra Maysaa's 1st Birthday Celebration

Pat on my back for the beginning. Alhamdulillah we had successfully hosted the first event ever as a family. Ayra Maysaa's first birthday is a wrap! I didn't expect it's finally excuted, well-done. Look, we did not plan to celebrate Ayra's birthday on the day because B can't promise me that he could take leave on May 12th, Sunday. Yes, my husband has to apply leave for his daughter's birthday on SUNDAY. (think twice before you marry someone in medical field). So, I can't confirm anything, waiting cue from him.  Right after getting back from Kuching on Monday, after voting, then B confirmed that his leave was approved. So, I have approximately only 4 days to prepare everything.

Prior to planning the party, I did some browsing on birthday theme and look for vendor. I chose Strawberry Shortcake because its pink (duhhh) and it's fresh and sweet, suitable for a one year old girl, plus it's easy to look for. I was quite shocked by the vendor's charge for the theme party, so I round up my mind to go prudent, DIY the banner, goody bags and decorations. The banner although made with my minimum photoshop knowledge, it turns out so good with a very very lower budget compared to the vendors.For goody bags, did some design and got them printed on stickers papers. And I have spent a good time in thrift store like Daiso and Kaison, seriously if you are organising a budget parties, shop at these 2 places!!!

Thank you to all my and my in-law family members who helped me so much and friends who made it to my daughter's first birthday party. I will show at her every birthday party how well her 1st one was. So, see you guys again next year, I promise, no more pink theme! hihihi...

The best gift ever, the one who teaches me how to put others before myself

My little Family, Alhamdulillah..

I'm lucky because Ayra's birthday falls on Sunday and Mothers' Day!

My buddies during the master years, they are now academicians, soon to be scholars!! I'm the one who left out ;(

She is so happy she did some inspection

My far from perfect decoration but I'm fully satisfied!!

Behind the scenes!

Ayra is One! Happening this Sunday

This Sunday, Insya Allah we will hold an intimate Birthday Party for our gem for she has turned 1! 

Alhamdulillah, so far she has been the most beautiful gift I have ever had.

Post election

I went back to my hometown just in time for the 13th General Election. Initially it was a family day at INTAN Sarawak, ending on the 5th of May, so I extended my stay one more day. I ended up purchasing new ticket. Damaged. 

Congratulations to the ruling party for defending their throne, but from what it seems the 5 years ahead is not a walk in the park. From my view at least, most of the citizen are not happy with the result. Honestly from what I see prior to the election, I thought PR would have made it, but the results is contradict from what most people have expected.

For PR, please accept it not as being defeated, but you have not won yet. Keep buffing up and rather than blaming the other party, why not do a self reflection and there's no need to be stooping so low. Show the rakyat you are relevant because you are good not because the other side is bad. 

But what is more sad was Malaysia is now not united. We are so divided, if not racism is eating us little by little.

The sunny side was, Grandma hold a surprise birthday party for Ayra! Her actual birthday is this Sunday 12.5 but since we were there, so Maknek & my Sister organised a perfect sesame street themed birthday party! But Ayra was one cranky pot during the celebration, it was her nap time perhaps.

 Accordingly

A not so happy birthday girl

Checking in at Damai Puri, thumbs down, place not maintained, very disappointing.
