My little CEO-in-the-making, Ashafiya, turns ONE. Twelve months ago, she made her grand entrance—and I haven’t had a full night’s sleep since. These days, she can even crawl in the dark, loosen up my clothes, and have a midnight milk feast all by herself. Independent woman in the making? Absolutely. Ashafiya’s greatest hits this year include: Spitting out food like a fine dining critic Crawling at lightning speed toward forbidden zones Saying “mama,” “papa,” “baby,” and… babi 😂 with “nge-gas” tone Turning into a fire-breathing dragon every time we try to brush her teeth Biting her dad like a sleepy vampire every single time she wants to sleep—morning, noon, or night Instantly turning into the Incredible Hulk whenever I take something from her tiny hand Loving every second in the water—future Olympic swimmer vibes 💁‍♀️ Walking like a little sweet penguin 🐧  Always pointing at the sky when she hears birds chirping, like a little nature whisperer 🐦 Deeply in love with ...

My baby girl is now 11 months old with 8 tiny teeth that peek out every time she smiles. Everything seemed fine—she’s fully breastfed, never had formula, no bottle, and no sweets whatsoever. So imagine my shock when I started noticing black stains on some of her teeth. 😨 My immediate thought? “Is it tooth decay already? But how?!” Brushing = Daily Drama I’ve been trying to brush her teeth every day… but it’s been a full-on battle. She cries, twists her body, grabs the brush, clenches her mouth, and makes it nearly impossible. I’ve tried everything—songs, toys, brushing together in front of the mirror—nothing really sticks. I started feeling guilty. Maybe I’m not brushing properly… maybe I missed something. Cue mom guilt 😔 Finally, The Dental Appointment We went to Hello Dental in Subang Jaya, and I have to say—the place was lovely. Clean, cozy, child-friendly. And the dentist was extremely kind and patient. Since Fiya was being clingy (as always), I had to sit in the dentist’s chair ...

 It’s late at night. The baby is asleep. The house has finally settled down into a kind of quiet that almost feels strange. My laptop is still open, and I’m sitting here, trying to gather the mood to finish the reports I couldn’t even touch during the day. It wasn’t a bad day — just a full one. My baby wasn’t crying or throwing tantrums. She’s actually such a sweet, understanding little soul. Sometimes she can play by herself, babbling happily with her toys while I’m glued to my screen, typing away. But it’s those quiet moments that hit the hardest — when she stands up in her playpen, leans forward, and looks at me with those big innocent eyes. No fuss, no noise. Just quietly waiting for me to notice her. That look gets me every time. It pulls at my heart, whispering, "Is this really what matters right now?" And the guilt creeps in — even when I know I’m doing my best. Trying to balance being a good mom and being good at my work. Trying to chase dreams and mee...

🌸 The Waiting Game My pregnancy was progressing beautifully, and by the time I reached almost 40 weeks, I had my final check-up with my obgyn on June 24th . She told me everything looked okay — except for one thing: there was a bit too much amniotic fluid in me. She wasn’t too worried, though. Just gave me that calm, reassuring smile and said, "Let’s hope for the best." And so, the waiting began. I tried everything you could possibly Google at 2AM when you're desperate to get labor started. Cranberry tea? Done. Walking like there’s no tomorrow? Miles. Crawling around the house? Yup. Sex? Let’s just say we gave it a shot — multiple times. Still, nothing . Not even a whisper of a contraction. So, as planned, I was scheduled to be admitted to the hospital on July 1st if labor didn’t start on its own — and of course, my little one was still chilling inside, showing no signs of checking out early. When I got to the hospital, my obgyn decided to use a Foley bulb to indu...

Setahun yang lalu, aku kembali pulang ke tanah air. Tapi kali ini berbeda. Biasanya aku pulang untuk melepas rindu, liburan, atau wisata kuliner bersama keluarga. Tapi saat itu, aku pulang… untuk melepas seseorang. Papa. Tepat pada tanggal 28 Juli 2020, papa meninggalkan kami—keluarga kecilnya. Kabar duka itu datang dari kakakku, Mba Tia, lewat telepon. Saat itu aku masih di Malaysia, masih menjalani rutinitas yang sama—mengejar karier yang seolah tak pernah selesai. Aku terdiam. Rasanya campur aduk—tidak percaya, tapi aku tahu aku harus kuat. Aku mencoba menenangkan diri. Hal pertama yang terlintas justru bukan diriku, tapi mama . Bagaimana mama menghadapi ini semua seorang diri? Jarak membuat segalanya terasa lebih menyakitkan. Aku menelfon mama, berusaha menguatkannya walau hanya lewat suara. Selama ini aku jarang memeluknya, tapi hari itu ada rasa yang begitu mengikat—ingin memeluk mama erat dan berkata bahwa semuanya akan baik-baik saja. Karena pandemi, banyak syarat yang harus ku...

The world is cruel.. Thai steam fish in this cold weather seems comforting.. Oh yes it was.. Nothing else can beat the warmness of this dish.

There are several things that I am planning to achieve this year. Read more Almost every year I bought books but I have never really read it. I really wish I spent more of my time to read books. Look forward to finish all the book that I bought. Eat clean and exercise more These 2 require time which I don't have it. Wait ? I think it is me who can't manage my time well. Time management. Ok, this one is to achieve above goal. hahaha Travel more Last year i can say that i haven't been to any place for holiday. Sad yeah ? Well, it was because i was not financially independent. So, this year I have to travel at least once in a 2 months !!
