Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha! … What else do we say on this day? Happy korban? In any case, take care on this holy day. I wish you a good day.
Blogging On The Go
JuLeZz and Alya, who seems to be more interested in her toy
Blogging used to be a big thing. Now, social media has taken over through the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Google+. The latter is rather more interesting to me especially to those who love to blog. Obviously, I havent found the time to blog much these days which is why I spend more time tweeting and posting on instagram. Why? Because you can do it on the go. The moment your thoughts come, you tweet. The moment you snap a photo, you upload them. Not much thinking required. But, thanks to apps such as wordpress’s, blogging is also made on the go.
This post is saved and edited as I go along. I am typing this from the wp’s iOS app. I reread my post, add more stuff to say and save. I do not need to be online, I do not need to worry about pages loading or losing them. And I do not worry about distractions – besides the things going on live around me. When there are distractions while walking, or sitting here, I click done and it is saved as a draft. I continue again later.
As I go along, I can snap photos I would like to share, get those saved and upload them when I’m done. So this post is just about that. Through out the day, I will add more to this post, save, add, save, etc.
2.25pm
Just had a chat with the new neighbour. I said hi to him a few days ago warning him on the stray digs that has been staying around here. I keep shooing them away but they keep coming back. I fear for my cats.
Speaking of which, I let Coco, out cat, out of her cage. We kept her in to train her. She wasn’t a people person before. Now she just craves the attention.
Anyway, back to my neighbour. Spent the past 15 minutes talking to him out in the sun, talking about lots of stuff initiated by the dog topic. Very chatty neighbour. Friendly. Makes me think, if I hadnt said hi to him would he have ever talked to me?
3.13pm
Just dropped off JuLeZz off to Bakerlyn cafe to see her friends. Alya’s with me now. Gonna go home and spend some quality time with the little miss.
Alya watching Disney Nature's Cats documentary before falling asleep
4.40pm
Alya’s been sleeping for half an hour now. What quality time with daddy! But best part is, she fell asleep by herself! She did this lastnight as well. I’m glad she is learning to fall asleep on her own.
6.51pm
At Hua Ho. Just picked JuLeZz up. Now we are looking around for Alya’s Hari Raya Aidil Adha’s clothes. We usually have takbir the night before and dad’s planning to have korban at their place.
Man, this woman just shouted to call someone else while standing next to Alya’s stroller. Idiot almost woke Alya up.
At Hua Ho Yayasan
From Hua Ho Yayasan's Sports section. Anded to the Po Po yo!
9.45pm
Been home the past 2 hours. Now a bit of work, late dinner and, hopefully Alya doesnt wake up and get fussy, sleep.
Good night everyone and enjoy the weekend!
Thought I'd end this with a laughing Alya when we got home.
Weird Titles
I come back to update my wordpress and what do I find? All my titles from my past posts have gone weird. Even my menu! What’s going on? Was it because of the update? Everything now says “Anonymous-Dz: Microsoft-Dz”. What is that about?
Looks like updating posts isn’t my only concern right now. What a welcoming party.
Back, hopefully

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated anything here. In the past few months since March, a lot of things have been happening in my life including the coming of our new daughter, Little Miss Alya. I have so much to update on that part of my life but there has been little time to do so. These days though, there are no excuses with the existence of mobile updating.
With the latest update to wordpress’s iOS app, I find that updating is easier. I update my other blogs frequently via the app but only because I have to. However, I have no idea why I haven’t had the time to do so here. I always have things to say and things to write but they always come either when I’m driving, walking or in the toilet. Then, when it’s time to sit down in front of the computer, words escape me. That and the distractions that is the internet. I guess that is why it’s easier to update via a mobile app – less distractions.
Recently, I’ve picked up a book that JuLeZz has been reading and realized how much behind I have been when it comes to actual writing. Not those short updates I do on instagram or Google+ but actual long posts on blogs. This is what makes blogs different from these other social media sites. You creativity when it comes to writing just gets shorter and shorter. But of course, I don’t just do it to put my thoughts into words but also to keep practising writing and never have to be out of practice. I admire those who can write on and keep a blog for so long. I wish I’m one of them. I was gonna finish that last sentence with “even if no one reads them” but really, you want people to read what you write. That’s why you post them online viewable by the public, so the public can read! If not, there’s always the private option.
There’s lots to tell, lots to write about but so little time. What I am going to do though is start fresh and write things that happen from here on forth, not updates from the past. There’s always my instagram for that.
So welcome back Mr Syaf. I hope you stay.
A New Turn
Well look at that. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything here. I’ve decided to turn this into my blog instead of just a news page. That way, I can make use of the space I’m paying (or I’ve paid) every year rather than leave it to go to waste. I just thought I’d share the above incident with you. I never knew this but when I was composing an email to be sent and it had the word “Attached is…” in the body, a popup appeared after I clicked on the “send” button. Turns out that gmail scanned my email and realized that I’ve said those words but forgot to attach anything to the email! I was amazed!
I was absolutely impressed by this feature, especially since I always forget to attach a file I meant to attach after I’ve finished writing the email. Now, I only wish that email clients would have this feature.
