I'm sorry for not updating my blog for quite some time. Macam-macam yang berlaku for the past 2 months.Malisa was down with fever the 1st week of december... bukan setakat demam aje muntah2 cirit-birit plus kena masuk air because she cannot eat or drink. And nak dijadikan cerita panjangnya DR silap masuk air .. so tangan malisa bengkak!. my poor little girl. For that week we went to the clinic for 5 times and spend 10,000 yen for dr's fee and meds.

Tangan malisa bengkak..

Then after malisa selesai demam.. as u can guess mikael pulak down with fever. But thank god his condition was not as bad as malisa. Just fever for few days.

Nasib baik demam sikit. Anyway itulah cabarannya bila beranak dekat2 ni. Bila sakit.. dua-dua sakit. But the good thing bila anak rapat-rapat ni ialah they got friends to play. so bila play together-gether boleh le mummy tengok computer.. heheh

Five Best Things to Do for Your Relationship

2008-09-27T09:09:00.000-07:00

Hehehe... dah macam blog untuk relationship pulak. Just read on.. some are true, some are funny but most importantly must take some lesson from all this.

Are you ready to take your relationship to a new level? Heed the wisdom of these five experts:

1. "Stop all shame, blame, and criticism. Instead ask for what you want in a clear, specific, and positive manner, and express appreciation for your partner. To elaborate: Men need to feel competent—that they make a contribution and that it is noticed."

— Harville Hendrix, PhD, author of Getting the Love You Want

2. "Change from a critical habit of mind, in which you're very involved with your partner's mistakes, to a positive one, in which you catch him doing something right."

— John M. Gottman, PhD, author of The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

3. "When your relationship starts to break down, you need AAA: an Apology, Affection, and a promise of Action. You say you're sorry for what you've said or done to hurt or disappoint your partner. You immediately offer a hug, a kiss—some meaningful gesture of warmth. You pledge to do something that matters to your partner."

— Mira Kirshenbaum, psychotherapist and author of The Weekend Marriage

4. "With books on the market like How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, one of the greatest services you can do for a guy is to reassure him that he doesn't have to make love like a porn star.You can show him how to have sex like a woman: creative, sensual, non-genital-based, and more pleasure- than orgasm-focused."

— Ian Kerner, PhD, author of She Comes First

5. "All relationships grow a bit stale as time goes by, and the longer-lasting they are, the staler they can get. The best thing you can do is pump in some fresh air. Along weekend in a romantic hideaway would be ideal, but even a few hours in a motel helps. Don't tell anyone where you are, turn off your cell phones, and unplug the TV. When you get home, you'll find your relationship has acquired ruddy cheeks."

— Dr. Ruth Westheimer, psychosexual therapist and author of 52 Lessons on Communicating Love

Adulterous Attraction

2008-09-27T08:57:00.000-07:00

Found this on oprah.com. It might give us some lesson in love and marriage.

With the amount of dating time before marriage, televisions in the bedroom and addictions to work, marriage is becoming increasingly boring and is losing its thrill, Rabbi Shmuley says. Because of this boredom, spouses tend to develop attractions to a stranger, co-worker, therapist, doctor or gym instructor—anyone who pays attention to them and makes things exciting.

For most people, these attractions are not serious, but Rabbi Shmuley says there can be real danger. He offers these questions to ask yourself to assess your situation:

Are you thinking about your crush a lot?
Do you find yourself looking for reasons to go and see him or to call him up?
Are you comparing your spouse to him?
Do you find yourself bringing him up gratuitously in conversation?

If you feel the attraction is becoming more serious, Rabbi Shmuley says to let it wane, as to not cause an unnecessary crisis. Also, be sure to minimize your interaction with that person, he says, and remove the person's phone number from your speed dial.

If you find this impossible, Rabbi Shmuley says to tell your spouse that you find yourself in an unhealthy relationship with someone else. "Tell them you want to cool things down and need their help," he says. "You made a decision, and you regret it."

Also, talk with your spouse about what you will do to grow closer to him or her and improve your relationship, Rabbi Shmuley says. If your attraction is at work, be sure to leave your job and find work elsewhere. Lastly, Rabbi Shmuley says to cut off all communication with the person in question. "This is an all-or-nothing sum game," he says.

Today's Shmuleyism
"What often begins as a harmless attraction to a stranger can end up a full-blown affair in your marriage. Avert this by keeping things professional. Working with a colleague need not mean you go together for lunch. And once you find yourself thinking about them always, it might be time to find a new job."

My cake has a tumour

2008-09-23T02:55:00.000-07:00

i dont know why but i never been good in baking. Tried to learn from my sis in law but when she's not here it's been a catastrophic! i never been able to bake a good cake or even a cookie, and today my cake has a tumour. isnt it funny?. My malisa and hubby said that my cake has a butt.hehe. I should learn how to bake so i can make my own kuih raya. Have a preview of my tumour cake, but it taste quite good though :) malisa ate all of it.

Autumn is coming..

2008-09-21T18:57:00.000-07:00

The autumn breeze is here. what a relief from the scorching hot of summer in tsukuba. Anyway friends don't kutuk-kutuk me cause my blog is not perfect yet. Nanti dah belajar macam mana nak letak gambar dan lagu sure my blog will be a blast!,hehehe perasan. Well saja nak post this because i wanna tell you guys.. AUTUMN IS COMING!!!. can't wait for winter...

A new day has come

2008-09-21T05:51:00.000-07:00

i should have wrote this months ago, but you know my little malisa learn how to use the computer very quickly so when i want to use the computer she'll be screaming and crying because she wants to watch doraemon. hmmmppp. Well in this post i would like to share my first few days in japan.

Anyway my new life begins on the 23 of March 2008 when we all move to japan. My husband is doing his PHD here so me and the children joined him to give moral support (at that point of time... now i think we are disturbing him). At first I was really enjoying myself because the whole troop came to japan with me. mak, daddy, mak (ibu mertuaku..), abang ariff, kak nun, naqib, nadim and irfah.

let me advice you, if you want to travel with 2 small children that really depends on you (meaning like to sleep while cuddling with you) please do not take night flights... i really really regrets taking the night flight. i could not sleep because this 2 kids slept like their in their own beds at home, then malisa woke up and threw up!. my.... what a disaster!.

When we arrived in tsukuba everybody was tired so we spend the whole day resting. But my mom and mom in law doesn't know what to do because they could not sleep, they started unpacking my stuff. Hmmm... what an angel.

2nd day here my hubby became the unpaid tourist guide. He showed us around tsukuba center. It was okay but i can see that naqib and nadim are getting bored. Not much attraction for kids.

3rd day we went to Fuji san or in english Mount Fuji. Again hubby became the unpaid driver because he's the only one with international license and irfah helped with the navigator. From tsukuba to Mount Fuji i think it took us 5 hours by car. Although it was very tiring but it really worth it. When we saw mount fuji it was like looking at a picture in a postcard. REALLY beautiful. But sadly mom in law catch a fever so all we could do was taking picture. We spend a night there at the university of tsukuba rest house. Hubby and me are planning to go there again because actually fujisan got lots of attraction such as fuji Q (theme park), fuji safari, onsen or maybe you can try hiking.

I think i should stop now.I would end this post with some pictures of us in Fujisan. Enjoy!.
(will somebody that is so very kind teach me how to put a song on this blog. Thanx!)
