CJ Idris Turned One CJ Idris turned one. Alhamdulillah.  And somehow, that also means I survived one whole year postpartum. And it's not me alone. My husband too.  I still couldn’t believe how in the worldddd I became a mother. Not even a month of being a wife, and suddenly I became a mother. You know what I mean? Tak sempat nak adapt as a wife, then suddenly a mother? Whuuttt?! HAHAHA! But it happened, you know. And as I’m writing this, I suddenly got a flashback of all the times I prayed for this. Like gazillion times. I prayed for this, and then pap! Allah gave him to me just like that. And now he is in his ONE+ ERA. My husband and I learnt so many things after having Idris. Like, really. So many things about each other, about ourselves, about marriage, and about life. Sabr is the key. Ya, I know. But you see, it’s easier said than done. There were days when patience felt so far away. Days when both of us were tired, like crazy and overwhelmed (mostly me being this way) an...

Every time I think about my labor, there’s a mix of feelings I still can’t fully understand. There’s a void—something I might not be able to make sense of now, but maybe later, Inshaa’Allah. So I write it down, because every time I do, my eyes well up. This isn’t just a birth story; it’s a reminder of how Allah planned everything better than I could have ever imagined. My due date was 26/08. But on 23/08, I spotted blood. We didn’t rush straight to the hospital. Instead, I calmly checked our hospital bag again, took a bath, and tried to steady myself. Only then we went.  The doctor checked me—my cervix wasn’t even 1cm. Then came the news: Oligo. My amniotic fluid was decreasing. To avoid baby distress, they decided to induce me with a balloon. The next day, I only reached 3cm. That was all, even after the balloon induction.  Contractions were so strong, so strong—but my body just wasn’t progressing. By midday on the 25th, the doctor broke my water. Finally, 4cm. I was moved ...

I have once been told by my godfather that being a parent is never easy. Why? Because parents are human beings too and human beings are bound to make mistakes. Nothing could guarantee the child's future. None of us except our one and only Creator. You can be a winner and lose it all within nanoseconds. Well, there is no guarantee that this life is easy, right? I am not a mother (yet) but I would say I carry both responsibilities of being a mother and a father to my two brothers, Haiqal & Shahrul. Indeed, watching your kids grow is a blessing. Keeping up with their progress, listening to their stories, how’s their days, at school, observing them how they get things done ya Allah. Alhamdulilah. They will be teenage soon. No, they are teeneger now. Not to forget reminding them 1001 times to do the dishes,  putting things in place accordingly orrrr to throw out the trash is the most annoying thing ever! But again, you watch them progressing day by day. Don’t get me wrong, there wi...

As I am writing this I am already in Rome, Italy. (transit for 9 hours to Zurich, Switzerland). I do not want to miss anything so I would love to record it in here for my reading in the future. Sebab ini adalah satu anugerah dan rezeki terbesar dalam hidup Kak Shane yang asalnya daripada kampung #TimpiGirl to wherever and whatever she will become in the future.  #EuropreTripJourney from KL to Singapore, transit for 6 hours today. We have allocated SGD 50 each for this transit (Scoot Airline). Went to halal food courts and the spending did not stop there. We couldn't make it to airport without this one right here Bobo! His wife (madik) teman kita virtually (video call sambil dia tengah kerja).  Nampak muka ada senyum? Sebenarnya member tengah sakit pinggang dan kena paksa senyum untuk gambar. Mine!  Alam's!  Indeed! Uniqlo was so poisonous that we could not resist! Alam got her a waffle shirt and pajamas! I got my self pants!   6hrs wasn’t that long at Changi Air...

  SOALAN POPULAR LEPASAN SPM: KERJA DULU ATAU BELAJAR DULU KAK? #sharingiscaring #belajarsambilkerja #kakshanemaushare #sharingkakshane #50ringgitgirl #asaldarikampung I just had a conversation with my cousins yang lepasan SPM, satu orang 4A and then the other 4 subjects all credit sorang lagi 3 credits. They asked me a few simple questions. Saya jumpa soalan ni beberapa kali sudah daripada pelajar-pelajar kita dan saya rasa bagus juga saya share disini: #1. APA SAYA PATUT BUAT? KERJA ATAU SAMBUNG BELAJAR DULU? Kenapa pilih salah satu kalau kamu boleh buat kedua-duanya sekali? Sambil kamu belajar kamu cari kerja sambilan (part-time). Bila kerja sambil belajar jangan lah terus kamu expect terus dapat kerja gempak-gempak gaji level Manager terus. Ada lagi ni yang paling lucu terus mau cari kerja Pilot. Seriously? Sabar. Kita buat step by step. Setiap perkara mesti akan ada proses-proses and we call them "learning process". Tak kisah kamu kerja #KFC, #STARBUCKS #COFFEBEAN #P...

Local coffee or Starbucks or maybe Coffee Bean? Do you like it heavy or light? Hot or cold? Extra shot, less sugar or extra creamer? Well we all have different taste of coffee and all of them could make us happy. The feeling is like a kid who got their lollipops! So this was an  impromptu  plan (while I'm typing this we were already heading to Genting Highland. In the meantime, this cerita kedai kopi must be continued. I would definitely repeat to lepak to this place. When I first entered, I saw that many youngsters chose this place to hang out especially fo...

In March 2014, I decided to flew to Kuala Lumpur alone with RM 50 in my pocket. It was a long story but I survived. I was once being told by my Mentor that life is not  a destination, it is a journey. I could not agree with him anymore. Another Mentor of mine said that, it is my choice of what I want to become. Whether to be a failure or to be someone successful. I can be whatever I want to be "only if I wanted to". Her hastag #nakdengantaknakje . Alhamdulilah. Within these 6 years (turning 7 in March 2021) I met many people with different way of thinking and backgrounds which has widen my perspective of life. Despite all challenges, I never regret of taking a step from my hometown. It changes me a lot.  In this blog, I would love to share my self reflections and spread the positivity as many as I can.  Well yes of course, I am just a normal human being which has my own difficult times so just bear with me. Lately, I found myself eagerly writes every emotions that I feel ...
