Just like my ...

I just realised today... everytime i told any of the person who brave enough to ask me how long i've been married (the usual next question they would ask after they know i have no kids) the answer would be...

"oohhh... u are just like my .....(dot dot dot)  " whereby the dot dot dot is someone they know and it could vary from friends, sisters or other female relatives. The sentence doesn't stop there... it would be followed by either:
"she also does not have kids after x years of marriage" or
"she only have kids after x years of marriage" followed by a story of what that person had done to get kids.

I just experience it twice today.

Funny isn't... How people try to relate to what we experience, yet they didn't know that it is far from what they think.

But, something that I can't believe... there are still people who does not know what IVF is. (yup... one of those 2 questioners ask me "Ha??...IVF tu apa?") Oh my... Is infertility something that is very alient? And here i thought that is some sort of general knowledge that anybody would know.

Okay...okay...to be fair, perhaps they doesn't know because infertility is not an issue to them. Well... it just show that the level of awareness about infertility is very low. May be we should start wearing ribbons to support our infertility friend (mcm kanser pakai ribbon pink) and to create awareness...

What ribbon color do u have in mind?

  7. ST...betul la..sy pon teringt. masa awal2 masuk keje, masa org tanye sy, mesti ada statement macam tuh :

    'ohh..si X pon da bape tahun kawen, xdpt anak lg. dia amik anak angkt last2'

    'oh..ada sedara pon da bape tahun kawen xdpt anak. dia pergi berurut dgn makcik X, sekrang da berderet anak dia'

    cliche ;)

    dan sgt setuju ramai sgt org xaware apa itu IVF, IUI etc. sebab? sebab mmg xde sangkut paut dgn dorang :)

    oh..akak sy pon xtahu apa itu IUI.bole? terus sy sekeh 14juta kali kt dia.hehehe.

    vote for purple ;)

New Chapter

If I could sum up what i learnt from my life as TTCian, that would be P-A-T-I-E-N-C-E. Being a TTCian has shaped me up as a person. It makes me rely to Allah Almighty in everything I do and make me believe that there will be a silver lining even in the darkest cloud.  For indeed, with hardship (will be) ease Indeed, with hardship (will be) ease. So when you have finished (your duties), then stand up (for worship). And to your Lord direct (your) longing. (Al-Insyirah 5-8) TTC World was past behind me... I'm living new world of parenthood to a 6-year-old toddler. Let's begin new chapter at MY WORLD

Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa

U all tau tak dari mana datangnya frasa 'Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa' ni? I petik dari DBP: Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa bukanlah peribahasa tetapi slogan Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa bermaksud bahawa bahasa sebagai milik mutlak sesuatu bangsa yang menjadi identiti kebangsaan. Sesungguhnya bahasa itu menunjukkan jati diri sesuatu bangsa. Bahasa melambangkan bagaimana sesuatu bangsa itu menggunakan bahasa sebagai alat komunikasi, perpaduan untuk saling memahami dan bahasa itu digunakan sebagai bahasa ilmu sesuatu bangsa. Kekuatan bahasa itu juga menunjukkan kuatnya sesuatu bangsa.  Frasa ni sebenarnya dicipta oleh Tan Sri Dol Ramli, yg merupakan pengasas rangkaian RTM. Tau tak lagu Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa? Lirik dan lagunya ditulis oleh beliau. BAHASA JIWA BANGSA G unakanlah Bahasa Kebangsaan Kita Marilah Amalkan Ramai-ramai Bahasalah Menyatukan Kita Semua Yakinlah Bahasa Jiwa Bangsa Marilah Mari Rakyat Semua Buktikan Taat Setia dengan Satu Bahasa Maju Bang

Komen

Komen....comment. Comment: generally a verbal or written remark often related to an added piece of information, or an observation or statement (Wikitionary). Komentar : huraian, ulasan (yg mengandungi penjelasan, kritik, atau pendapat mengenai sesuatu perkara (Kamus Dewan Bahasa edisi ke-4) I suka tinggalkn komen kat blog orang. Hehehhehe…   Why? May be sebab I rasa if I leave a comment the writer would feel that ‘eh…ada jugak orang yg sudi baca apa yg aku tulis ni’. Coz I would feel that way when someone leave a comment in my blog. Even though you can check how many people hit your blog in the ‘Stat’, the feeling of having comments on your entries is different. I’m sure u akan rasa happy bila someone tinggalkan comment kat ur blog. Eh, x happy ke org tinggalkan komen? Sapa happy angkat tangan (I angkat tangan ni… hehehehe). Perhaps its human nature. Bila kita bercakap dengan orang, and orang beri respond, baru rasa ada interaction antara si ‘pencakap’ (erk! Teruknya B
