eh ... who is this?

eh ... how come is in black and white while another is coloured ... are they the same person? If the first one is Ashraf then who is the other baby?

meet Abah Long (my brother-in-law) ... do you see similarities between the two pictures? They look similar ... hmm ... interesting! Now ... I think it's time for me to dig out my baby photos and see if there's any which look like Ashraf :)

me & my first Levi's

who says babies can't model ... here I am, showing off my first Levi's ... compliments of Uncle Halim & Aunty Yaqin. Amacam? How do i look? Dashing huh ...

Thank you, Uncle Halim & Aunty Yaqin ... nampak bergaya Ahmad nie ..

from birth till now

these pictures marked important milestone of Muhammad Ashraf's life ... first 2 pictures are taken when he was a month and 2 days old.

these pictures are taken when he was 2 months and 3 months respectively ...
see how he has grew? Syukur alhamdullilah ... Allah has granted Muhammad Ashraf good health and protection. May Allah always look after him and that may he be a 'soleh' child. Amin ...

I'm 3 months today!!!

Finally after a week ... new photos of Ahmad. Alhamdullilah, now he is 3 months old. All spunky and always ready for someone to talk or converse with him. Here're pictures of him taken this week ... believe it or not ... these pictures are taken when he was conversing with someone ...

yes ... today I am a big boy. I am already 3 months old. 9 more months to 1 year old.
Ahmad was surprised when the flash was on for the first picture. But ... being professional baby model for his Umi and Abi, he geared himself up with his smile ...
not in a good mood. First picture was of him wanting to take a bath. He was complaining ... well, it was a warm day so he felt sticky at the end of the day. Next picture was taken after his bath .... but not smiling. Wanna know why? He wanted to sleep ... hehehe

back to work ...

yupe, it's time for me to go back to work. In fact, since Tuesday but officially on Thursday. How's work so far? Phew ... so many things to get accustomed to, to adhere to ... students are a different story. Whatever happened since I left school where teachers' words are to be paid full attention to. Now ... we have to sell the subject to the students. Not an easy task. Also there are several special cases where the students are from challenging backgrounds. On top of all these, I have to leave for school so early in the morning. So I don't get to bath him in the morning. Poor Ahmad, he felt my absence in the morning greatly that when I reached home, he would start crying and complaining. On the other hand, those times when I get to play with him are so precious. I would rush home immediately once I cleared my markings. Just any chance to see him playing ...

Today is Saturday ... first day since I start work where Ahmad gets to see both his Abi and Umi. Also finally get to capture pictures of him ...

is it a bird? is it a plane? it's ...
masamnya muka ... takde mood nak pose untuk camera. Tengah enjoy, then got paparazzi taking photos

froggie & roses

my little Ahmad with his toy ... now, there's a new member in his toy kingdom ... the little Frog Prince. Yupe ... the Frog Prince goes ribbit ribbit ... pixs of it coming it soon :)

The famous vase of roses which capture Ahmad's glee and attention. Each time the roses move because of the wind, he will get into a frenzy, moving all of his limbs ...

let the pictures do the talking

here it is, Ahmad and his famous sidekick ... Quacky Duck! Fren and cheer buddy when Ahmad starts crying ...

here Ahmad is asleep with his Abi's short as his blanket. Dear ... he misses you a lot
Ahmad is enjoying his first seat in his rocker ... compliments of Umi & Abi ... rock a by baby ... on the rocking chair ...
up close when Ahmad is on the rocker ...
here he is with his Kakaks ... opps ... blur. Missing in action, Kak Aliyah ... not to worry... will add her in :)

the land of the rising sun

Nazzer has left for Japan and will be back on Saturday evening. It's our first separation after we had Ahmad and none of us like it. I was teary-eyed as he left the house ... he was clearly disheartened at the thought of not seeing Ahmad. Now Ahmad was a bit cranky this evening ... showing signs that he misses his dad. We had recorded Nazzer's voice so that Ahmad can listen to his dad. I also kept his shirt handy for Ahmad to smell. It may sound disgusting to you ... but now little Ahmad is sleeping with his dad's shirt as his blanket.

Nazzer dear, this picture is for you. It was taken when your recording is being played. I know you misses Ahmad a lot ...

Here's a link to download a video of Ahmad being enticed by the roses. Sorry but the video was not edited. It was shot the wrong way up. Btw you need to have QuickTime to play this video. Daddy, Bak, if you want to view it, you can download the software at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html.

1 February ... 3 years since ...

Once again it's 1st February, marking 3 years since Mummy has departed from this world. Let's put our hands together and recite Al-Fatihah for her. Amin ...

3 years and so many things has happened since Mummy has passed away. I graduated from NTU, enter the workforce, got married, enter NIE, got pregnant, gave birth to Ahmad and just graduated once again. Despite these milestones in my life, there are many other instances when I loved to have Mummy around. I can just imagine her glee and joy if she get to hold Ahmad ... Nevertheless, Allah loves her more. At least she won't suffer anymore ... that's all that matters.
