-After work cuddle-

I’m sorry, but from now on, you will probably be seeing a lot of Tiger’s pictures here. Maybe I ought to open up another tumblr for this instead?

Abi captured this photo. This is the first time I’ve cuddled Tiger without using any kain to hold him with. It helps that my jubah is extra tebal. I don’t know why I have this irrational fear of cats. It isn’t really fear like the fear of snakes or other dangerous animals. I can pat it on the head, play with its paws and have it playfully scratch my fingers. But when it bounces around, jumps up and down, plays mouse-catch with my feet, that is when I get a shiver down my spine and goosebumps all over me. Oh, and I end up intermittently screaming every time the darned thing startles me (he gets equally startled by my screams of course).

-Tiger’s favourite past time: “Catch that wiggly toe through the slipper”-

You know how Puss-in-Boots in Shrek goes all googly eyes when trying to dissuade the enemy? Well, I think Tiger is related. Everyone feels all sorry and goes gooey mush for him when he leans onto the window staring inside.

-Sleeping position: Cute-‘poorlilthing’ look-

-Tiger having his breakfast (He can eat them without being soaked now)-

-The must pose for all male family members: with tudung on-

-Squish the cat-

What I need to do now

I need to change my postpaid subscription plan and find the unlimited 3g connection. I won’t have reasons to not post my bfast image anymore. :D

Salam. Testing mobile upload for tumblr via email

Compact powder

At 27, I discovered compact powder…nay..dared to use compact powder. The 26 years prior? I could not understand how anyone could stand the layer of dust covering their face.

The trouble with this conception of mine was that I had never tried wearing any. I had made my judgement based on the effect of me having a go at lipstick, which I cannot stand and makes me feel like I have oil-caked lips.

Turns out, compact powder does not feel like it is even there.

So yeah, I’ve been living more than 10 years since puberty kicked in thinking oily skin was something I had to live with (but maklong said skin like this ages slow…betul ke kakngah?) and that oil wipes (or sweat-gland surgery :P) and photoshopping away reflective foreheads in pictures as the only solution.

p.s. ada kalanya, kita belajar dari adik.

Kata yang menjana kesayuan

Masjidilharam

kristal gula (crystal sugar)
dari syurga (from the heavens)
dikerumuni jiwa-jiwa (surrounded by souls)
semut (ants)
damba iman manis (longing for the sweetness of imaan)
basah pelipis (soaked lids)

-Isa Kamari (Lorong Wahyu)

It is so simple that you have just got to get it. And crystal sugar it is.

Nowadays, nearing the hajj months, I’d have this glub-glub feeling in my stomach. I translate that to a sense of longing. Wishing I was going to the holy lands, free from worries of the world, even if for a brief moment.

p.s. My boss is going

Si gemuk lagi (the fatty again)

belalang:

Yep, that is his new sleeping spot, the garden hat ibu bought from Vietnam. I think its because it is so near to the kitchen sink (inside). He is so manja these days. Before, he’d be so hesitant to come into the house when we open the door, now, he demands us to open the door at the most ridiculous hours of the day, by his constant mewing.

He’s going to the vet tomorrow for check ups (maybe).

Ayah: Nanti balik Terengganu end of this year macam mana? We have to find someone to babysit him

Me: Bawa naik plane jer. Dalam cerita2 kan selalu je orang bawa naik. Letak dalam cage dia.

Ibu: Bila orang tengok, derang kata “ler…kucing koman jer..ingatkan kucing mahal ke”.

Yup. heard the same from my preggy collegue…wonder why? is it becoz of e growing tummy? :B

A lot of researches have proven that seatbelts could save not only the lives of pregnant woman but also their foetus. Crosby and Costiloe (1971) reported that the most common cause of foetal death in vehicle crash is the death of the pregnant victim. The foetus remains at risk if the pregnant woman suffers injuries or dies. Henry et al. from Renault group (1984) had evaluated the effectiveness of seatbelts on 49 pregnant occupants involved in road crashes. They found that none of the pregnant occupants who were properly belted suffered serious injuries. Four unbelted occupants were seriously injured and three occupants not using seat belt suffered loss of their foetus. In the in-depth study of car crashes in California done by Agran et al. (1986), of nine cases involving pregnant women who died, three were found not using a seat belt. Argan reported that most of the victims were drivers and apparently most of the injuries were caused by the impact against the steering wheel during collision.

In summary, wearing the seatbelt, does not harm a pregnant woman or the baby. Wear the seatbelt correctly and insyaAllah, it can give good protection to car occupants.
