Here are ten amazing breastfeeding quotes:

1) A newborn baby has only three demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three. – Grantly Dick-Read

2) While breastfeeding may not seem the right choice for every parent, it is the best choice for every baby. – Amy Spangler

3) All I ever heard was everyone bitch about it, nobody ever said, ‘You are not going to believe how emotional this is. – Jennifer Garner

4) I love that I’m someone special and that I feed him. I’m the milk cow! My theory is that nursing gives you superhuman powers. How else could I be doing all this when I’m usually a sleepaholic? – Gwen Stefani

5) There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can’t get it. -Irena Chalmers

6) If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers’ needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence. -Gabrielle Palmer

7) It is only in the act of nursing that a woman realizes her motherhood in visible and tangible fashion; it is a joy of every moment. -Honore de Balzac

8) People need to understand that when they’re deciding between breastmilk and formula, they’re not deciding between Coke and Pepsi…. They’re choosing between a live, pure substance and a dead substance made with the cheapest oils available. -Chele Marmet

9) Breastfeeding is an instinctual and natural act, but it is also an art that is learned day by day. The reality is that almost all women can breastfeed, have enough milk for their babies and learn how to overcome problems both large and small. It is almost always simply a matter of practical knowledge and not a question of good luck. – La Leche League

10) People say, ’You’re still breast-feeding, that’s so generous.’ Generous, no! It gives me boobs and it takes my thighs away! It’s sort of like natural liposuction. I’d carry on breast-feeding for the rest of my life if I could. – Helena Bonham Carter

So excited today cos somebody pointed put that our face is in today's Metro. Not just my face, my entire family. This is the picture that they put in the Metro.
Our whole family is there, me, my beloved husband, Afrina and Afiq, and the rest of Shahputra SUKOB team. Actually this picture was taken after the price-giving ceremony of the UiTM Inter College Tournament. Shahputra has become the Champion!

So among all other picture, this picture was chosen to be pubslished in the Metro. So excited!

Just that, I don't really like the picture coz the TShirt is making me looked fat. I was wearing my husband's coz I did not bring any Shahputra TShirt to KL that day - actually, I don't have any College Tshirt pun :( That's why he has to wear the black Tshirt. Actually we were supposed to wear all yellow Tshirt that night.

Anyway, it's good to be in the winner side. Even though I got a lot of comments from my former office friends who were one of the competitors in the Tournament, I realized that all comments are just because of jealousy and envy hehehe

Shahputra Juara!!!

I'm so excited that mamafiza is expanding her Homeschooling journey to other states. How I wish she can make her way to Kuantan. I've already booked a place with her for Kuantan session, all I have to do is to collect at least 19 other names to participate.

This morning I've already send some emails to my colleagues and friends. Hopefully I will get the numbers so that mamafiza will be able to have ker Homeschool Chatter Moment here in Kuantan. If we can have her here in Kolej Shahputra, that will be very delightful!

Am I going to homeschool my kids? Well right now I have no plan to do that yet. I still have a lot of commitments that will not be able for me to quit my job. I also don't have as much knowledge and spirit as mamafiza. So, why do I want to go to this session with her?

Hmm...I am looking forward to meet her. I would like to know her experience. I would like to learn how she handle, and educate her kids. Having 2 kids is already too much to handle for me. But she has 4 kids! Wow. And I love the way she put all different elements in educating her kids. Good environment, healthy food, religious acts and advice, languages, social activities and all other stuff. And I know I will learn a lot from her cause she is so generous to share her knowldege with other mommies.

So if you are around Kuantan area, and would like to join her session, please contact me, or contact mamafiza directly. Let's bring a good educator to Kuantan!

My 4th brother got engaged last Sunday, 8 March 2009. We call him Erry, well his real name is Ariff Aswad. His fiance's name is Ina.(Not sure the real name).

I'm actually the eldest from 7 siblings. Me and my younger brother already married and got 2 pairs of kids each. My 3rd brother is still single and available hehe...
So here are some pictures from the engagement ceremony.



So here are some pictures from the ceremony. As usual, I have to control my kids during the discussion part as they were trying to scream and running around. Finally, my husband took them to stay in the car.

The food was very nice and delicious. There were sup tulang, ikan semilang masak cili, telur itik masak lemak, some vegetables, fruits, ulams and kuih bakar. Everybody liked the dishes, and there are a lot of people during the lunch time.

And here are some pictures of me, husband and kids. Not manage to get more pictures, but overall very happy with the ceremony and very happy for my brother.

1. Find good recipes for my kids - both of them are picky eaters
2. Explore decoupage - goo for decorations, recycle and can make money too.
3. Learn cake baking and decorating
4. Learn to sew - at least baju kurung for Afrina
5. Reorganize my pots and plants
6. Redecorate my living hall
7. Start a small business - 1st step, register Company Name
8. Continue for masters Degree

What else? A lot of things to do, to explore and to learn. When will I have enough time and money to explore all of them? Which one should I start first?

My office's ' Things to do list'? Believe me it's a lot longer than this.

From WikiAnwers:

Patience is a virtue because it makes us better people. The definition of the word is to tolerate delay. This implies self control and forebearance as opposed to wanting what we want when we want it. How many times have we jumped the gun and found out it it would have been better to tolerate delay or had self control? What did we miss out on? Did we hurt someone because of lack of patience? Did our lives just change completely just because we couldn't control ourselves? Patience is not only a virtue but a necessity for a happy existence.

I really love this shot we got at Pantai Balok, Kuantan. Look at these 3 people I really love. No words can describe how much love I have for them.
