Newborn Jubah for Kimi

The Tiny Haji Kimi~

Kimi's Majlis Cukur Jambul was only a week away. I saw in Facebook the pretty attires other babies wore for their "welcome to the world partayyy". I didn't give much thought for Kimi though. So Mak suggested that I sew a tiny jubah for him. That sounds like a great idea, only that I do not know how to make one. The only thing I had in mind was the "How to make baby shirts from your old T-shirts" tutorial that I read somewhere from the internet... That's close enough!

I took one of Kimi's shirt for the shape and sizing... And traced it on my extra nikah cloth. Being satin and very tiny, I had to hand sew the jubah as it will be very very challenging to use a sewing machine.


Added borders for the collar and sleeves.


Lil' Kimi trying out the first prototype. I'm so relieved that the jubah was no too small. I didn't prepare for any counter measures!


The completed design - 100% handmade! My little man is ready to go to Haj... Hihi...


Say goodbye to my hair!

Bald Rock National Park, NSW

Date : 3rd November 2013 Bald Rock is a 3-hours drive from Toowoomba and I have been thinking of visiting it since last year. But I was not sure if it was a suitable trip for an infant. However, it is the largest granite monolith in Australia, which means it is a must-go! So best buds, Julie Zac and Zayra came to visit on 1st November. Was not sure where to bring them around Toowoomba. Oh well, let's try hiking then! Sunscreen for everyone!: At first, I was thinking of bringing Kimi's stroller through the Bungoona Walk. The Summit Direct Walk would be out of the question. A lady who just got down advised that it was not a good idea... And thank God for that... (What was I thinking??!) We had a plate of fried rice each at the picnic table to fuel us with energy! The best thing was, my 2 year old son was just as excited as the adults. He wanted to walk (or run) on his own and made it to the top! After walking half way, the view started to become ver...

Book: Sushi for Beginners

Date: 24 December 2010 Author: Marian Keyes She is definitely one of my favourite authors ever. The first book from her that I read was Under the Duvet, and the second was The Other Side of The Story - both I borrowed from UTM's library. She writes about characters with real life issues and manage to make the situation light although it's actually a dark topic. At the end of the day, readers will learn about complicated issues without feeling depressed. She delivers the message and adds humor to it - just brilliant! Plus, I learned a few Irish words! Sushi for Beginners is about the lives of 3 different ladies, all facing depressions. Different characters have a different coping mechanism. Synopsis: Lisa, a beautiful, career oriented lady is the b*tch boss from hell. She'll do whatever it takes to be the best at what she does, even if it means having no friends and family. The thing that drives her over the wall was when she actually sacrificed her marriage to ...
