happy 30th anniversary, mama & papa!

i love you more today than yesterday, but darling not as much as tomorrow

yang, happy 1st anniversary! i told you earlier this month that 'i tak sangka that it's almost gonna be one year since we got married' and then you said 'abis tu yang, kita dah ada anak sorang. and she's gonna be almost 4 months old'. potong betullah laki aku ni. baru nak feeling feeling, go and state the obvious pulak. sarcasm, totally wasted.

you asked me once, before we were married, why i love you so much? i couldn't answer then, because answering to questions like that need a lot of time and thinking. this isn't like in the movies where people can just simply say what's in their heart in a heartbeat. in real life, matters of the heart need to consult with the head first.

so sayang, here's some reasons why i love you so :

because of how you looked when i first met you. remember the movie at starlight cinema with all the other people? i thought you were so cute! so, you think we can call ourselves star-crossed lovers? since we met at the STARlight cinema? no? too corny? nevermind.

even after more than 4 years, you still find our first date funny. heck, even i still find it funny. stupid and embarassing, but funny. i know that's why you love me. because i'm such a klutz!

you take me as i am. even as borderline crazy (self-assessed, not certifiably) as i can potentially be ~~sometimes~~ all the time. (internet, it takes one heck of a woman to admit that she is crazy. some women i know think that everyone else around them are crazy, it's annoying to see that they themselves don't even know they are crazier than most. i know you know these kind of women, kan?)
because of how totally different we are from each other

even with my ugly post-partum body and really selebet face, you still find me desirable (i gave you a beautiful daughter. i did most of the work. if you have complaints, you've got something coming)

when you half-joke (i think) about how i need to drop all these weight, you still get me chocolates and ice cream and every kind of food i crave for.

you know what and when to say to smack some sense into me when i'm not making any.

you are my voice of reason. (although this can also be one of the reasons why you annoy me so)

when we fight, especially in the car, you know the best thing to do is just to shut up and drive

you refuse to be corrected when i try to correct your english. i find your stubbornness charming. sometimes lah.

you are a terrible singer. TERRIBLE. tone-deaf terrible. you cant's sing the ABC to save your life! i am not good, but next to you, i sound like nightingale. so, thank you.

you make up words to songs as you go along. sayang, jack fell down and broke his CROWN, ok. not ARM.

your patience. (internet, tell me, laki mana sanggup tunggu wife/gf dia for 6 hours in the car coz her job comes with unpredictable timing? or sanggup bersabar for almost 10 months before he can have sex again?)

your big, big, BIG family. (am i getting brownie points?)

you'll try to listen to my kind of music even when it's not up to your taste

stealing kisses at traffic stops? priceless.

how you still paksa me to eat those bloody vegetables

you dont mind it when i finish your sentences. or take over when you try to finish your story

you know when you stutter sometimes, trying to stall time to find the right words? i find it adorable. but thank god you didnt stutter time akad nikah haritu. satu lafaz je, you totally deserved the applause.

you know what kind of chocolate to get me when i yell "get me some chocolates while you go pay for petrol"
because you saved me
because you make me whole
because you're my prozac, my sleeping pill .... my whole pharmacy for when i get a little bit crazy

because you're you

because you're mine

i take requests too

a special blog post as requested by the birthday girl herself ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FAH!!

she said i dont have good pictures of her, only ugly candid ones because i'm just that evil of a wanker. i like taking ugly photos of other people so that my own are prettier than theirs.

this is the (apparently) ugly one i have :

and this is when she asked me to stalk her and find a much decent picture.

who's the wanker now?

.. oh, and fah, and good luck in your exams!

congrats kak zaliza!

been wondering all week how she's doing. suddenly, got an sms from kak zaliza this morning saying she just delivered another boy at hospital damai taman melawati. since i work a mere walking distance from the hospital, singgah kejap during lunch time to visit mama & baby. dah dekat sangat, kalau tak singgah karang ada kena pelangkung ngan kak zaliza. dengan lenggang kangkung je pergi tak bawak any present.

kak zaliza is looking great considering tak sampai 4 jam lepas delivery. senyum je memanjang. i don't remember ever feeling that smiley after i delivered arwen. here's a first low-res sub-par quality look at baby boy who's yet to be named. sorry, didn't have the camera with me. baby dah besar skit nanti i come and take more pretty pictures, kay kak?

baby boy *will insert name once his mom has made up her mind*
time of birth : 9.25 am
weight at birth : 2.75 kg
comel gila ok. dah kena swaddle that tight pun still boleh nak wiggle himself out. kids these days.

kak zaliza cerita, her roommate kat ward tu just delivered a 4.85kg baby. GILA! senak perut dengar.
