Cerekarama
I was down with horrible stomach flu on Sunday night. I was in so much pain that I was writhing in pain and letting out soft sobs and rolling on the floor. My whole body started to ache and I tried to vomit out the contents in my stomach just so to find a relief of some sort. In the end, it became worse because I got a terrible heartburn from too much bile secretion and I couldnt even lie down to sleep and had to sleep sitting up the whole night.
In the morning, I was feeling slightly better, Alhamdullilah. My son came to me, started to stroke my hair and patted my stomach and whispered, "Mama, dont die. I dont want Baba to marry again. I dont want a stairs-mother."
Stairs-mother?! I started to laugh out loud! "Step-mother you mean, Abdullah?"
In his defensive self he replied, "Steps, stairs.. same right?"
I asked him why he would not want a step-mother and he said he saw on tv how the step-mother beats the children and do not love them. I corrected him by giving an example that his Baba and uncles were raised by Jidda, who is their step-mother and Jidda loves the boys very much.
"Well.. Jidda is married to Habib, right? So she cant be my step-mother.." and he flashed me his impish smile.
Ok, no more drama cerekarama for you, son! This is what happens when you watch too many malay soap drama with the grandma!

Two Kids
At first I thought its going to be hard to love a new person in my life because I love my son very much. But when she arrived, loving her was so effortless. I didnt love my son any less. It was like my heart grew twice the size to accomodate loving both children at the same time.
Love. Love.

1. Men should not wear capris or man-pris. Ever.
2. Men should never take a seat on the public bus or train unless every single women, regardless of their age, have a seat of their own. If not, shame on you.
3. Men should not have an alter-ego. It gets creepy when there is two sides of you. Your woman might feel that they are dating/married to (a) a schizophrenic (b) a villian from a comic book (c) a superhero from a comic book. If a woman wants to date a man with an alter-ego, she would freaking find herself a Bruce Wayne. At least he is playboy millionaire.
