On Being A Mom

Yes, I am a mom of 2 now. We have been waiting, hoping and praying for 8 years. We did everything that we could. We got our hopes up, we saw them crushed. We felt that it was the right time, but God said no. We were at the lowest point of our life, at some point we even thought that it would be just the two of us. And He proved me wrong. God gave us Alya, Lealya Kinata Annina, our first miracle baby. Lealya means faith, Kinata means embodiment, and Annina means God has answered our prayer. Yes He really did!!!

We thought the miracle stopped there. But we were wrong. God once again showed us that His plan is beyond our imagination. He gave us Asha, Levania Asha Mehulika. Levania means raise up, Asha means hope, Mehulika means good/well. Asha reminds us to always have our hope up because God will only prepare the best for us, nothing less.

My life is never the same anymore. I gave up my work to be with them. I enjoy being with them 24 hours a day 7days a week, and yes... I do miss teaching sometimes. But I believe that when God gave me such a big responsibility, He also will provide everything that I need. Every day I juggle between Alya, Asha and house chores and baby blues and crafting and me time and so on and so on. But hey....I proudly say I really can feel grateful even on my worst days. I just love them that much.

A new start

Yuk...mari dicoba lagi...

Siapa tahu lebih awet.

Ngeblog-nya maksudnya...

Here are some flashes of my life lately😀

I promise to write their stories sooon...

Here I am

Hmmmm... Don't know where to start...
Resigning my job for the last 5 years in June, and beginning a new career as a housewife since then. 😁
Got a few plans before resigning, but there were changes here and there.
So here I am, thousand miles from home, thousand miles from my bubi, trying to achieve a dream.
I know He got a masterplan for me and everything that I thought I sacrificed would be worth while.

..signed, sealed, delivered...

My days at work are numbered
Trying to remember as much as I can because I know I will miss all this hustle and bustle very much
There's a part of me that reluctant to let it go, but somehow I believe God has prepared something better for me

Saat hari ini menjadi memori abu-abu
Kuingin mengenangmu
Seperti ini
Sedingin hari ini
Semerbak harum bunga melatimu
Sehalus tutur kata
Semasa kau ada
Kuingin mengenangmu
Seperti ini
Saat hari ini menjadi memori abu-abu

Make You Feel My Love-Adele

When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong

I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love

Dear Mrs. Principal

 

 

I make this for Mrs. Jill, my principal for the last two years.

She decided to move back to the down under to take care of her baby.

It's just a token of gratitude, a little something to remember all the treasured moments we shared for the last two years.

 

There is always the first time for everything...

I saw this last weekend..

 It was a charity art exhibition held by a school located 

just across my bubi's office :)

 ...painting...

 ...comic...

 ...digital art...

 ..photo...

 ...watercolor painting..

 ...clay..

 ..acrylic painting...

I really love the idea

Happy students, proud parents, famous school ;)

and the most important

it will put more smiles to the people in need

I wish my school could do something like that

 or...just pay more attention to the art program!!

But there's no point of complaining without action

so I've decided...

I'll take the offer given to me last semester

so kids....be prepared

next semester we'll have something artsy

which I hope will be the seed of something like that!!

*Uwee is my best friend who work in that school :)
