Happy Birthday Hisham

Two years ago, as soon as I had finished my Subuh prayers, I went into labour and not long after that, a healthy baby boy was born into this world and as planned, we named him Hisham.

How time flies...without much notice, all my little babies had grown up and as a mother, I'm sure all mothers  out there would agree and would be very pleased to see their kids grow up to be Anak yang Soleh and Solehah, InsyaAllah.

What I can say is Hisham is more or less the same as his brother and sister. Actually, he's a combination of them both in both looks and character but at the same time, he's very unique in his very own special way. The obvious key difference being, even though he is already 2 today, I still feel as if he is still a little baby. Oh well, I suppose that feeling will never change whether he is 2 or 20! Maybe, I'll be kissing and hugging him a lot less when he becomes a big, hairy teenager and when he's in front of his friends but, he'll still always be MY baby...

Happy Birthday Darling. Mummy, Daddy, Tatak Rara and Baba Nayn always loves you. Muuuuaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Oh... and Happy Anniversary to my beloved Mama and Ayah.May happiness be yours forever, InsyaAllah. We always love you too.

Destroy-a-Box Day with Daddy

It's another gloomy Saturday. The weather has not been that bright out and with the Queen having just left the country and Mr President of the United States coming on Monday, most roads and parking spaces are still restricted pretty much every where in the centre of town. Having given up hope of a visit to the city centre, we decided to just stay at home instead.

Here's some pics of how we spent most of the day...

Husayn with his specially-designed scimitar, self-made shield and knight's helmet

It all started when the kids started pretending to be pirates that morning. Daddy then came up with the idea of making all sorts of weapons and armour from an unused cardboard box and a bit of imagination. It was just so nice looking at them enjoying their Daddy's handiwork. I just sat back today and let Daddy have some quality time with the kids.

The kids were so happy as each and every one of them got what they wanted. Well, there's another few "new" toys for them to play with, without costing Mummy and Daddy that much money (a lot of sellotape though) but the most important thing was to see them so happy. Absolutely priceless!
