So this is the best that I can do for now. More or less you have them all looking at the camera one way or another lah. And here Khadijah is getting ever so restless!
Well, guess we have to wait to try again another time.

My Babies
I tried my best to get a snap of all the four babies together but it was not easy especially with little Khadijag wriggling around. At the same time you have to make sure that the others are ready with smiles. That is another challenge!

A Prayer
There is something so magical and awesome about holding your baby. Especially when they are just a few months old. I guess it is always overwhelming to hold your child but when they are babies like this the feeling is different.
For one it is hard to imagine that this baby, this tiny person, was inside you for nine whole months, feeding from you and breathing with you. Such a miracle God has created that the baby can breathe in your womb while swimming in all that water. The miracle of life!
Holding my little Khadijah now, I can't help but have tears in my eyes. Seeing her look at you with those big brown eyes, so helpless and completely at your mercy. Then I think of the pain I went through to bring her into this world. Owwww, words alone can't describe that feeling. Only another mother would understand what it is like to go through labour, the pain mothers have to endure, the agony mothers go through. In fact, even now, when I think about what it was like giving birth to the 2 girls and Ali, I can't help but have tears in my eyes.
Writing this makes me think about all those mothers, wives or not, who abandon their babies and throw them like they were a piece of used tissue. Where is the heart in them! Did they not carry that baby in them for 9 months, did they not go through the same pain as I did to bring that baby into the world. And yet, they can dispose the baby just like that, some with umbilical cord intact and all. I just don't understand what kind of humans these are. Monsters and devils in a human body. Either that or they are really SICK in the head and heart.
The worst thing is, the problem seems to persist and the number of cases seems to be increasing everyday. At least that is the official number we know, how about cases that are not reported or babies that are not found. Like everything else, we need not find the cure for it but instead we need to eliminate the problem entirely. Malaysians always find ways to tackle the problem by finding remedies. In reality we should prevent it from happening entirely. After all, prevention is better than cure. The rising number of abandoned and dead babies goes to show the mindset of the society we live in now. Which makes me very sad. This is the world that we are raising our children in. Isn't this a scary thought.
God bless this women, or girls, who have the heart to dump their babies. Let us give them the benefit of the doubt that they are not in the right state of mind. Crazy loonies perhaps.
God bless me as a mother and please help me raise my children as best I can to become good and sane people in future. God bless my children and always keep our faith in you dear God, always bless us with your love and guidance. Amin.

What's New
It has been awhile since my last posting. Yup! Have been qite busy with the new baby and adjusting to the changes. What kind of changes you say? Changes in temperament of all the three kids, especially little Ali.
He is very loving with Khadijah no doubt and he even says I love you to her. He hugs her and loves kissing her. But never ever leave her alone cause you never know when he is going to "attack"!
I also have a new project on the way. A very exciting project too. Bob and I will be going to Europe after Raya in September and am so looking forward to it. Why? Cause we are doing an "Ebi and Shu". Huh? What is that? That is where Ebi and Shu take holidays all the time, at least twice a year, just the two of them. Without the kids! So yes, finally Bob and I are going on a holiday together. Just the two of us. Can't wait.
Where we going? We are going to Paris and Italy. It is so exciting cause we are driving from Paris to Rome. We leave back for KL from Rome. I have been busy planning our route and stops as well as looking at other details.
Of course I have been wanting to go to Paris with Bob for the longest time and am really looking forward to it. It has been my dream/wish for it since we got married. And finally 12 years later, InsyaAllah, it will become a reality.
And the drive to Italy will be a real experience too. We have planned several stops along the way including must stops like Bologna (Bob wants to make a beeline for Ducati) and we plan to watch the SBK bike race in Imola), Florence (Prada factory outlet) and Rome (have to get some historical sights in this trip too lah).
Aahhhh .....
Hehehehe ....
Oh yes ... do I hear you ask what about Khadijah? Well, hate it as I must, I will have to leave her. Let's just hope I don't chicken out or cry everynight whilst I am away.
Will update you more. Khadijah is doing great by the way. We are 26 days old today.

Introducing .... Baby No 4
My fourth bundle of joy arrived on May 10 2010 at 7.51pm. Her name is Khadijah and she weighed 3.47kg. Alhamdulillah it was an easy birth although the induction process caused some pretty strong (and painful) contractions.
The whole first week of May I was experiencing light contractions or some doctors call it Braxton Hicks so I waited patiently for the labour process to begin but it never did. Najihah was the only baby where I experienced a natural labour process and so I thot' it could be the same for this baby. But after a week it still did not take place and I knew at my next check the doctor would ask me to take the baby out.
Therefore might as well choose a date and we chose May 10, a day after Mother's Day and a nice number too. 10/5/10. Besides, I was ready than ever to have her born.
Introducing ..... Khadijah:
She is today 4 days old and what is she like so far? She has quite a temper, rather impatient little baby. I have not seen her smile only cry. And when she cries she does not start slow like babies usually do but hits the max level immediately.
She finally fell asleep here after a fitful of crying for milk. She is hungry most of the time for milk. How are the kids taking her? They love her, even Ali, who starts well with kissing and stroking her head lovingly befor he goes for the prodding and pressing. NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE ALI ALONE WITH KHADIJAH. 
I have not taken many pictures of Khadijah yet. We are still setlling in and getting used to a rather topsy turvy sleep pattern. As my friends say, sleepless in Ara has begun.
My friends dropped by the hospital and this is Zaidah who last held her own baby 7 years ago. In this picture Khadijah looks so much like Ali. She looks different everyday and guess we have to wait and see who she looks after but she has a bit of each of her siblings in her.
These are all her godmothers! Zaidah, Hazleen, Shikin, Sherie and Jami. I think there are more godmothers.

AUTOGRAPH --- You Got???
Look what I got!!! My friend Anis was at the recent F1 race early this month and she met him. Yes the great King himself, SHAH RUKH KHAN!!!
She got a picture of him and a signed autograph for herself. And one for me as well!!!!
It is not very big here lah but I have it. Well too bad I didn't get to physically see him in the flesh but oh well, a signed autograph is more than I could hope for. Thank you so much Anis!
I am sure a day will come when I get to see him in the flesh .....

My Aishah
This is a story about my younger sister Aishah. She is 10 years younger than me, yes a very wide age gap indeed but she is my best friend and very, very dear to me. We don't live in the same house anymore since I got married but we are still as close as ever.
She is a sound engineer with Hot FM and works very hard I must say. I don't get to see her everyday like when she was studying but knowing that she is just a phone call or an SMS away is always a comfort.
Aishah is a very independent person and very strong headed too. After she returned from her studies in Melbourne she got an idea in her head that wants to live there. With this idea she saved money (she is quite good at that I must add), and has been working towards that goal.
About a month ago, she got news that she finally got her PR which she applied for some few years back. She did not get it for Melbourne but for Adelaide which suits her just fine.
Of course I am happy for her as this is what she wants for herself and what she has been working for since she started work. But honestly, I hate to see her go. I feel like I will lose a very very big part of me. I know, it is not like I will never see her again or we can't go visit or she won't come back for a holiday. I also know there is such sophisticated technology these days -- the internet, Skype, YM and what not.
But it is not the same. It is knowing that she is far away and it is not as easy as saying Please come over and she will be at my doorstep. Sigh! I wonder how my mother feels. Sad too I guess. Of course we will worry, that is what people who love each other do right? Worry ....
These photos were from my recent Baby Shower. Aishah brought me to the secret location and as you can see I was overwhelmed with feelings. She has been here with me through many moments in my life, and I know she will be here for many more to come. But when you are far away how much can you actually physically share. I am sorry if I am being too emotional here (my friends say it's the hormones) but this is my little sister we are talking about. My shoulder to cry on and my shoulder for laughter too. Not only that, she is my little miss fix it round the house too (hehehehe).
I wish you well Aishah, in all your future undertakings. And you know that I will be here for you no matter what. I will miss you terribly and only you know how I feel without having you near me. You are my friend, my confidante, my all and of course my little sister...
