Motherhood.

It’s pretty overwhelming for me. Especially with 2 small babies. At times, I feel miserable and break down. Crying my eyes out, hoping for comfort and support. And it’s true, Motherhood is mental illness.

One has to become a mother to feel this. No mother would actually say this out loud because we will be judge. We will be perceived as weak and not strong enough. But the fact is, we are trying our very best to stay as strong when we are struggling. And I believe, having a partner who is a team player really does help and I honestly am thankful. Husbands won’t understand us, wives’ feeling but it really does help when he takes the crying baby away from you to compose yourself. It does help when he jumps in to do his part as a parent when we are at the fragile phase.

This chapter in my life will only be a phase. A challenging phase, no doubt. For all I know, time will fly pass by and all I can do is look back and smile. A chapter that actually change my life. A tremendous change! From not being a morning person and someone who likes to sleep a lot, I admit I miss my old life. But I know, I have to keep on going. Forward.

With patience and strength.

Having to hear the Nurse saying the good news really was a sense of relief. I can't never be thankful for this. I anticipate the news for 2 weeks. It's crazy. A major rollercoaster ride! 

Syukur Alhamdulillah, Ya Allah! And I will never stop making my Dua's, still. Amin.

 It's been a long time since I've blog. 

Well, I'm back to work on sites for 3 weeks now. So that explains my hiatus. I do actually miss working from home. It's really hard to part with the cats when it's like 4 months having them around me, meowing for food. Haha. 

I'm currently on "treatment". It's a pretty scary phase that I'm embarking on. But I keep telling myself that I am strong to overcome this. I know I am. Because if I can deal with the pain of having to do Swab Test for every 2 weeks, why not. Oh yea, it's a compulsory for people who work on sites to conduct their Swab Test every two weeks. It's not that scary, well, a bit. It's more to like ticklish plus it's deep! You can actually feel the stick tickles your throat. I kinda grew on it because it's like my 7th time doing it. Haha.

It's madness at work too, when you have to comply to all the rules and regulations. Work is different now. Plus to be extra careful as dormitory workers here in Singapore still holds the largest number affected here. It's tedious to enter sites now, but I grew on it.

I'm more concern on my "treatment". And all I pray for, is for me to be strong, mentally and physically. Just going with the flow and leave it to Allah. Amin.

Made this Nordic Storage. I saw online and it's like WOW! So I had a handful of felt left, so why not. But I would recommend a thicker one as the one I used is thin and flimsy. But works just fine. It's simple to make, no need to sew! All you need is just felt and leather straps. This is really a good organiser for storage. And it only took like half and hour to get it done!

Step 1: Mark the size that you want. My box size is 15cm, so the flap is 7.5cm.

Step 2: Cut the slits.

Step 3: Mark and cut the curves. I use a template of my sewing box case!

Step 4: Punch holes with belt puncher.

Step 5: Use the leather strap to tie the flaps together.

And viola! Simple and save your money!

Really great to store the items that you usually carry, if you are a person who frequently changes her handbags. Hehe. 

I finally put it to use to store my sunglasses and glasses! Dope!

Made these Chapstick Holder for my Mum and Sisters. I saw on Shopee and my guess, hey! Let's just do some. Found fabrics and took out the sewing machine. Let my creativity juice flows. Look darn pretty neat aye.
