My daughter's Aqiqah & Cukur Jambul

It has been a hectic week for me as I have started working after a 3-month maternity leave.

I am so glad that I manage to exclusively breastfeed my baby for the past 3 months and this I hope will continue until at least she’s 6 months old.

My daughter’s Majlis Aqiqah and Cukur Jambul was held a day before I started working and here are some of the pictures that I would like to share with you.

I would like to give some credits to the following people who had done some wonderful jobs for my baby’s big day:

Nur Qalisha... First 10 Days

My baby, Nur Qalisha is 12-day old today. I've been capturing my baby's precious moments on a daily basis.
I hope I could capture all her important milestones and moments.

Here's Nur Qalisha during her first 10 days.

 

Last day of class

I've just arrived home. This has been my life for the past 3 years when I had to attend my part-time postgraduate classes. But today is my last day of class.


When I flashback, I still remember attending the first class when my youngest daughter was still 2-week old.
During those confinement days...
I still remember doing my revisions after my baby went to bed.
I still remember that I have to struggle doing my assignments.
I still remember sitting my mid-term test when I should be resting at home.


The house chores,
the revisions,
the assignments and
the exams,
are mostly the causes of my many sleepless nights.


Thank you hubby for being there.
Thank you hubby for being supportive through out these years.
Thank you hubby for your patience.
Thank you hubby for your good luck wishes on my exam days.
Thank you hubby for being so encouraging.
I know I can't do this without you.


Special thanks to both my parents who are always there to look after my children when I had to attend those night classes right after work.


I hope I can be an inspiration to other moms.
But what most important is I hope I can be an inspiration to my children, Nur Qistina, Muhammad Irfan and Nur Qaisara.

My 10k shutter shots

I just love photography and my subjects are always my kids. I have reached about 10,000++ shutter shots on my one-year-old Nikon D3000 (it's my first DSLR).  I am now considering buying D7000 and currently reading some reviews of the DSLR. Some amateur photographers told me that it has no difference from D90. But Digital Camera Magazine, February 2011 edition makes some comparisons between D7000 and D90. According to the magazine, D7000 is better than D90 in terms of exposure error, colour accuracy, dynamic range and noise. Some features I like about the camera and can be useful for someone like me - its 2 SD card ports (I always misplaced my SD card whenever I transfer my photos) & full HD video technology (I think I should start shooting video of my kids). This simply give me some good reasons to buy my dream D7000. Here are some of my favorite shots.
