The new addition to the family =)

and our lovely Hajar a.k.a Kak Long
(not so recent photograph)

Bismillah

Pejam celik, pejam celik Adam, our 2nd child was safely born on September 11, 2007 after 8 days postdue. Ehe, honestly Ibu was tired of waiting for the 2nd baby and was worried of being induced if there's still no signs of labor by Sept 12. Alhamdulillah, 9/11 was the d.o.b for Adam.

Hajar? :D Bigggg smiles! Alhamdulillah she is healthy and cute and very active!It seems that she never stop running around and exploring things around her. She also loves to talk in her own baby language :) and she already knows to imitate our words especially at the endings. She knows several words already like 'nunun' for milk, 'pok mai-mai' for tepuk amai-amai, 'spoo boo' fpr sponge bob, 'pak' for tokpak, etc. its very cute the way she pronounce the words. she also knows to point to her body parts i.e mouth,nose, hair, hand, leg, and tummy when we ask her to point to her body while we say which body parts.

Not to forget to mention that she has become very manja with everybody. She loves all the attention.

From end of August till after Raya, we stay at tokmak n tokpak's place. Hajar enjoyed her stay very much because she got the chance to get the attention of many people and got to play with her cousins.

As for the Raya, Hajar and Adam got quite a lot of duit raya especially at their age. Hajar loves her baju and kasut baru. Raya this year was a lot merrier with Adam in the family. We went to several houses at Penang, Johore, and Selangor. Raya sakan this year (ibu's still in confinement though, lol)

Bismillah


Alhamdulillah, Hajar is healthy and happy.
Yesterday we went to Shah Alam to visit a friend who is going to join her husband overseas. Hajar was very quite and sopan during the 2 1/2 hours of visit. Alhamdulillah.

Afterwards, we went to PKNS because ibu was looking for a jubah she's very interested in buying =) Unfortunately, ibu decided not to buy the jubah because it turned out not very good of quality and design and its quite pricey. Not worth the money and time.

hajar was not very happy in PKNS. She wasnt very comfortable and we had to leave as soon as possible =). She might not like to be in a crowded environment such as in PKNS. Too many people to give ample space for Hajar to explore around. Poor Hajar.

So, we went back to Bangi and Hajar was happy to be home again =) Alhamdulillah.

InshaAllah, this week we are going to Penang to spend the next two months over there. Hopefully Hajar wont miss abah so bad and enjoy her stay with tokmak, tokpak, her aunties and uncles, and her cousins.

Bismillah

Alhamdulillah Hajar is fi afiah. Last few days she was having a runny nose but she was not cranky at all and didnt get too sick. Alhamdulillah. She got infected from ibu actually. Ibu was just too tired after the BTN and the trip to Jelebu, and caught a light flu in the end. Alhamdulillah it went away after a day or two as ibu got enough rest.

Hajar is a lil bit more manja with abah lately. Last night she clung to abah and didnt want to let go. She refused to go to ibu and cried whenever ibu tried to take her from abah. She didnt want to go to makcik Mimi either. May be Hajar knows very well that adik is coming pretty soon, and she wants to get all the attention she deserve right now.

Hajar is getting quite good when it comes to imitating sounds. She can say 'keta' when we say 'kereta', 'mik' when we say 'ambil', and last night she sang 'a-b-c'! It's very cute! She's also very active now, running around, 'talking', and playing restlessly. We just have to be patient with her =)..she's growing up.

Bismillah

Alhamdulillah, Hajar has becoming more manja lately. Erm..may be she knows that a lil baby is coming soon to join her :). We are trying to give her all the attention she needed this few months before we have to 'berbagi kasih' between hajar and her sibling, inshaAllah.


Couple of weeks ago we went to Bagan Lalang, a beach at Sepang. Hajar was very excited during the trip and she loves walking barefoot on the sandy beach. She walked nonstop along the shore and we had to run after her and stop her before she reach the water. she was a bit frightened though when her feet touched the water ;).

Bismillah

Alhamdulillah
Hajar is almost 14 months old now. She is healthy and very active, not forget to mention very 'bubbly'. She loves to do her baby's talk.

She loves running all over the house now. She knows how to wave goodbye to people by waving her hand and saying 'ba-h,ba-h' lovingly with the addition of flying kiss at the end, 'muuuaaa-h'. She is very adorable, mashaAllah!

She loves her tricycle very much and enjoys the ride to the playground in the evening. Her aunt will push the tricycle and Hajar will be very happy. Plus, the tricycle has a music button which will produce a lovely music each time it is pressed. Hajar loves it so much and will press the button many times. It attracts the other kids' attention though.

btw, I am having problem to feed her. She refuses to eat almost every types of food given to her. She will only take couple of bites before refusing to take anymore. Instead, she drinks a lot of milk lately. I am a bit worry about this and hopefully I can get Hajar to eat her meal soon.

Bismillah

My dear, beloved daughter,
First picture is Hajar with Abah =)

bismillah


These are the recent pictures of Hajar. She was busy unpacking the stuffs from the shopping bags.

Hajar is a lil bit 'thinner' now. May be because of her being very active exploring the world with her new acquired skills and interests =).Hajar doesnt need her buaian everytime she goes to sleep anymore. She'll fall asleep whenever she feels tired and full. Alhamdulillah, she's very healthy, easy, and strong.

I love it when she'll kiss the mushaf when ibu show her the Qur'an. I hope she'll grow loving the Qur'an, knowing and practising the contents, living by them! Allahumma ameen.

bismillah

Finally, here is a picture of hajar wearing the jeans hat! The pic was taken in April ;)
MashaAllah...


Hajar has got a new hat!
It's a jeans hat, and it's denim blue. Hajar looks so adorable wearing the hat.
She's very comfortable and doesnt take the hat off.

Hajar will look lot like a chinese girl with the hat on.
I'll try to put a picture of hajar wearing the hat sometimes soon.
=).

Hajar knows how to call 'Abah' already. She'll shout "abah" loudly to attract her abah's attention.
Hajar will call abah again and again. So cute!

as we travel down life's road
we'll get along just fine

who knows what we'll get
who knows where we'll end up
who know's who'll we meet

as we travel down down this road
we'll get along just fine

When the woman left her home very early in the morning everyday, the infant girl would just watched her as she walked away.The infant girl didnt cry and sometimes the infant girl would wave goodbye.

The infant girl had got used to being left at home while mummy went to her workplace for the whole day.

When the sun just about to set down, the infant would wait for the woman to come home.The woman would knock at the door, tiredness so apparent on her face. The infant girl would smiled cheerfully greeting her mummy welcome home.

The woman would kiss the infant girl and give her a hug or two. Then, she would have some rest and time for herself, sitting motionless on the couch. She would watch at the infant girl, helplessly, wishing she had some more energy and time to spend with the infant girl.

That poor woman, got so tired at the end of the day. She had to leave her infant girl so early in the morning day by day.
That poor infant girl, got left at home with nanny with so little chance to play with mummy.

The secret behind the chosen name of Hajar...

The story of Hajar offers the Muslim woman the most marvellous example of deep faith in Allah (SWT) and sincere trust in Him. Ibrahim `May peace be upon him' (PBUH) left her at the Ka`bah in Makkah, above the well of Zamzam, at a time when there were no people and no water in the place. Hajar had no-one with her except her infant son Isma`il. She asked Ibrahim, calmly and with no trace of panic: "Has Allah (SWT) commanded you to do this, O Ibrahim?" Ibrahim (PBUH) said, "Yes." Her response reflected her acceptance and optimism: "Then He is not going to abandon us." Reported by Bukhari in Kitab al-Anbiya1

Alhamdulillah
Hajar has learnt a new skill. she knows how to clap already. after just two days of learning and observing auntie mimi and ibu while we sang 'tepuk amai-amai' song, Hajar has finally master the clapping skill.

she will sit and smile and clap happily. while she's clapping, hajar will look at either ibu or auntie mimi asking us to sing the song.

she's so cute when she claps. her hands are very small and yet they produce sound already.

clap..clap..clap
clap happily my baby
say thank to Allah
coz u r growing up happy and healthy

Hajar is not feeling well. She has runny nose and light cough. ALhamdulillah she doesnt caught a fever. Last night she didnt get a good sleep due to the difficulty to breath because of her nose was blocked with the excess mucus and Ibu believe she was uncomfortable all night long.

Actually, we went back to Penang last weekend. We spent hours in the bus wondering when we would reach our destination. The trip from Kajang to Penang was a very unpleasant one (especially to ibu) because the bus driver was listening to tamil songs all the way and at one time, he turned the volume so high that it disturbed us very much. Alhamdulillah the co-driver realized that it was inappropriate to turned the volume so high and he asked the driver to turn down the volume. and then, they made a stop at a dirty restaurant at Slim River. with poor toilets, we had no choice at all. ibu think they're supposed to stop at the r&r which is more proper adn comfortable.
finally, we arrived at penang, but the bus went to komtar and jelutong first before they sent us to Sg. Nibong. it was very frustrating since we've already spent 7 hours in the bus and had to spent another unnecessary 1 hour because of the ignorance of the bus drivers! consumers in malaysia are really under opression and do not have much channels to get their rights. If we were to complain or to make report, will somebody really look at it? do anybody cares?

Oh okay...back to Hajar. At first she was enjoying the trip, but she was also got tired. poor hajar had to spent almost 8 hours sitting in the bus. Alhamdulillah she cried just when she was so sleepy and couldnt sleep. ibu and auntie mimi had to comfort her and 'dodoi' her to sleep.

Alhamdulillah a'la kulli hal, we took a taxi from the bus station to saujana, which has charged us with a very high fare(extra 6 ringgit from the actual fare, i guess.the taxis in Penang are still not using the metre even they MUST use it. again, consumers are the mangsa). finally we arrived at saujana and tokpak was already waiting for us(hajar especially =) )..

pheww...what a day. Allah has tested us just a little bit, but ibu melatah lebih-lebih..maybe shaytan has won that day. hajar, as pure as a baby is, still doesnt understand and doesnt get 'angry' at all. fa sobrun jameel.

bismillah

Hajar has been refusing to eat for the last few days. At first, we assumed that she got bored with the daily bubur nasi or nestum. However, after few days Hajar still didnt want to eat and we got worried. Hopefully Hajar will want to eat some rice or bread.

This weekend we were outside most of the time. On Saturday we went to Shah Alam and PJ to join abah with his activities. We got bored in the afternoon since we didnt really get to do anything, but Hajar was enjoying the comfy sofa at the hotel waiting area.

On Sunday, Hajar was with ibu for the study session at rumah kak zu. As usual, hajar loves to play with kak Hajar(they got the same name =) ), Maryam, and Aminah. Hajar loves the cats too. She got the chance to touch one of the cat while Kak Aminah was holding it. After that, we went to Putrajaya to visit a friend who has just given birth to a cute baby boy.

What a long day for Hajar. She was busy playing with the kakak-kakak the whole day. She went to bed a little bit early and giving the chance for ibu to get rest early too!

bismillah

last night we went to the mall. We bought for Hajar two dresses and beautiful,colorful hair clips. Hajar loves the clips very much. She was busy playing with her new hair clips till it was past midnight. She was too preoccupied!

finally, ibu had to endoi Hajar so that she would sleep. that was only after she fell down while 'climbing' up on ibu. she cried and ibu decided to put her in the buaian. we turned off the light as Hajar wont sleep as long as the light didnt go off. Hajar went to sleep after ibu brought her to the bedroom and endui her.

what a day....Hajar was so lovely that she caught the attention of the salesgirl in the mall. however, as usual Hajar didnt smile...eheheh baby garang.

she is the precious gift from Allah, and also a very important responsibility to take care of. A priceless treasure, pleasing to the eyes and hearts. MashaAllah...thank you Allah.

bismillah

assalamua'laykum warahmatullah

Hajar loves to merangkak lately. she moves a lot faster now. you look somewhere else a second and Hajar's gone! she went somewhere to reach something that caught her attention. she's a very active baby!

last Saturday we went to Nilai and Melaka to accompany abah. Abah gave talks to the college students regarding the miracles of Qur'an and Hakikat Tauheed. Interesting topics. It became more interesting since Hajar joined the talks too. Not sure either she was listening or not as she was either busy looking around or SLEEPING soundly! Sometimes, she wake up whenever abah raised his voice or when abah recited the Qur'an. She's so cute!

Hajar has got the title of 'baby garang' as she rarely smiled to the kakak-kakak. Maybe she was not in the mood to play around with the unfamiliar kakak's. However, Hajar was merangkak around the place and smiled happily whenever auntie mimi or ibu 'agah' her. She went a bit cranky towards the evening since she needed to take her bath. Hajar was happy again after taking her bath and playing in the bathroom. She loves water and bath time is one of her favorite!

We've noticed Hajar has grew chubbier each day, and taller. She's a big, healthy baby. Nontheless, our love for her is even bigger and bigger each and every moment.

We love you, Hajar!

Bismillah

Alhamdulillah
Hajar has got her second tooth! Now she's got two teeth at her lower gum! Looks very cute when she smiles broadly and happily.

Hajar loves Limau Cina very much. She'll immediately drooling upon seeing someone eating the limau or simply holding it. She'll 'run' to get the person and of course will give her 'pity' face. You'll definitely give her a bite if you saw her face at that time!

Another good news is Hajar has been able to sit by herself and was trying hard to stand up. She has made excellent progress and seems to love what she's doing.

We bought a new carpet and a colorful alphabet mat for Hajar to play with. Hajar loves both of her new 'toys'. She'll crawl and crawl on the carpet and took the alphabet mat and disamble them into pieces.

She's simply adorable!

Unfortunately, ibu have to leave Hajar everyday at home with auntie Mimi when Ibu went to work. Less time was spent with Hajar and deep down inside, Ibu knows that Hajar misses her mom badly. She cries easily when she is left alone even for a split second. As soon as she realizes no one is around, she'll cry. Ibu feel very sorry for her. This is life, as cruel as it can be. Hopefully life will get better and better opportunities come, and Ibu wont have to leave Hajar anymore. Ameen.

bismillah

of course i am truly madly deeply missing my little darling.hajar's at home while ibu have to sit here, in thefreezing office..waiting for the time to go home....

hajar has got her first tooth! Alhamdulillah. Ibu noticed it on last Saturday when Ibu was feeding Hajar. Hajar's tooth produced a sound whenever it hit the spoon.How cute!

No wonder that several days before Hajar was a little bit cranky,drooling, cirit birit and love to bite on anything including the iron bars.
nevertheless, hajar's always active and energetic.
Alhamdulillah.

bismillah

though we seldom write about our little darling,lovely Hajar...we never stop loving and caring for her. This love has grew deeper than ever.

Hajar's also continue growing up and learning lots of things. She has made many excellent progress. She has learnt to' meniarap, merayap', and now she has started learning to crawl and sit by her own. she looked very cute everytime she tried to push her little,cute body up. she was trying hard.

however, Hajar has also learnt the meaning of separation, being left at home when ibu and abah had to go to work. I am sure it's very painful to Hajar as it is for us, but its the reality of this harsh life. It keeps going and taking you along to catch up with the speed and to go with the flow.
Tough choices.

Nevertheless, Alhamdulillah for this wonderful life. We are happy and Hajar is healthy and pretty. Hopefully we can succesfully groom Hajar to be a mukminah and an excellent servant of Allah. Allahumma Ameen

bismillah

Hajar was having a good time during the eid. We went back to Bidor and Bayan Lepas. Hajar was very nice during the long hours in the car. She would either sleep or playing with abah, ibu, Mcik Mimi, and uncle Adi.
Hajar laughed, 'talked' and talked and babled a lot in the car for almost the whole duration of the trips.

She has became more and more adorable and has grown closer/attached to ibu. She would cry to sit with ibu at the front passenger seat rather than to sit at the back.

As soon as she was passed to ibu, Hajar would be happy again. She was very interested with the dashboard and especially the gear handle. May be because they're black or dark grey. Riding on the car with Hajar was very much fun!

Hajar has got lots of new toys from Penang. She got a turtle toy, two sheep toys, two teddy bears, a bunny toy, and a yellow rubber ball with portruding points(mcm duri durian sikit)..eheehe..she loves the yellow ball the most. May be it's fun for her to hold the ball and to throw it around.

Luckily, we've got to borrow a camera from QE. We took a lots of pictures of Hajar. Guess what? Hajar loves to act in front of the lense. She is photogenic! mashaAllah. We'll upload her pictures soon, inshaAllah.

What a wondeful blessing Allah has given His servants. The world has become even more wonderful with Hajar by our sides.
