Beautiful December

It was really windy when we arrived at Changi Boardwalk and Shaura was very cranky as it was her nap time. But the shoot has to go on. We chose a nice spot at the bridge. Filzah and Raudha was very patient with us. At one point, I almost gave up chasing Shaura. She was running to and fro, almost knocking some of the visitors at the park. Boy, I was glad when it was over!

We took lesser pictures this time as compared to last year's maternity shoot at Botanic Gardens - it's not about the quantity but the quality that matters in the end :)

To Filzah and Raudha, thank you for accommodating this rather last minute request and being there for my family photoshoot for the second time. You're simply the best!

It's a boy!

The then 8-month-old Shaura looked like a boy, right?
Expecting Baby No. 2 to look like this!
Good that I can recycle all her boyish accessories and clothes.
Hehehe!

Now that's what I call forward thinking.
Yeah right... :p



Joke aside, here's a smile that makes me happy and sad at the same time. Sigh.

Been spending more time at work than at home. Working mothers, do you feel me? :(

Looking forward to the 4 months maternity leave in Feb.

My New Year resolution: To spend quality time with my babies!

Mat Yoyo: Details will be revealed tomorrow!

Who's the host and who're the cats?

What is the show all about?

When will the show be aired?

Want to know?

More will be revealed tomorrow!

By the way, didn't I tell you that Shaura loves cats?

She adores them like they're some huggable teddies ;p

Love will keep us alive

Some say having a child will ruin your career or relationship with your spouse. Rubbish! No teacher or parent I knew would ever have talked to us about the joy of being parents, the amount of love and laughter it brings into our lives, together with its sense of purpose and meaning. 

From changing diapers to feeding my lil' munchkin, I now know my husband makes a great father and I'm extremely thankful for his thoughtfulness and help rendered with daily chores, no matter how small it can be. My husband will even ensure that we are colour-coordinated when it comes to family outings - he's really good at mix-matching our clothes. The best part, we are still very much in love as a couple.

My joy comes from freezing those moments as a family and looking back at the photos with great pride. I can't imagine living without a camera to document these memories. The day will come when I'm old and frail but I hope my memory doesn't fail me.

I love you, my honey bunnies.
You mean so much to me.

Stylish hijabs and ready wear collection at newly launched blog shop, Bulletproof Lilies

Introducing a new online outlet to shop: BULLETPROOF LILIES!

Remember Indriana from PINK ELEPHANT LABS? Well, she's the woman behind the newly launched blog shop. And yes, my graduation shot (below) was taken by the talented Nana.

I call it diversification - from photography to selling of clothes and hijabs online - something which I would love to do (if not for the stable, full-time job and strings of other responsibilities). Here's Nana's first collection of hijabs, feel free to scroll down.

And my favourite...Heather Blue :)

See something you like? Click here http://bulletprooflilies.wordpress.com or email to bulletprooflilies@gmail.com to place your order!

To those who're not wearing a hijab, it's ok cos Bulletproof Lilies has ready wear collection as well.

Shop sensibly! I know how it is like to keep on ordering things that we don't actually need. Hehe.
