Raja Khalid Khairaldin

My baby's here! ( Well, since 9 days ago) We are on cloud 9. Love him so soooo much!

Name (M'sia "style"): Raja Khalid Khairaldin Bin Raja Ahmad Shazwan Iskandar.

Name (UK): Khalid Khairaldin Raja

Meaning: Khalid (eternal) KhairAldin (Goodness to the religion/faith)

Nickname: Khairaldin Or you may choose any of the above. hehe

Weight: 3.06kg/ 6.74pounds

Time of birth: 0545

Alhamdulillah everything went well, although there's a whole lot of story behind it. hehe Will update the birth story soon. For those interested, no, we didn't manage to do Waterbirth as planned. The whole labour was a quick and fast one, next thing I know baby's all ready to come out of me. But it was all natural and normal birth without any highdose drugs (except for Entonox) hehe

Pictures "overload"

 Hi Helmi,

This entry is specially for you since you requested for my baby-bump pics. Hehehe Sorry haven't uploaded any. Just that Xanga is too fussy about the sizing and all so I'd rather upload it on Facebook. Haven't you got Facebook? Do add me if you're on there OK? Anyway, here goes. My when-rajin-to-keluar-and-amik-gambar pics. Hahaha

In blue top when I was about 26 weeks pregnant and white tops were taken last week (33 weeks). Insha'Allah we're hoping to get some more pictures in this last few weeks. If possible/still larat, I will upload the pictures on here Insha'Allah.

Till then, thanks for still visiting and waiting for my/our update!




I guess, there are things in life that are worth sharing and thinking out loud. However, there are things that you ought to just keep it to yourself because it could just turn out to be a sin. Even if you don't mean to do so. Insha'Allah, I thrive to be moderate.

The New Beginning

Bismillah'hirrahmanirahim.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t,

Firstly, forgive me for being away for a while. I just needed some time off to do some serious thinking about the life we live in.

Alhamdulillah my life's been great so far. Marriage and pregnancy have definitely brought the best in me. I never took life so seriously but I guess it's also because I've "aged" and become somewhat wiser. hehehe

So, lets begin with the pregnancy update. I have less than 2 months to go, Insha'Allah 6-7 weeks to go. Truth be told, I'm not fully prepared to bring my li'l one into this world. I know almost all mothers would like to have a baby girl for their first child. Unlike me, I would rather have a boy for so many reasons. One important one is because I think it's easier to bring up a son than a daughter. At least that's what I'd like to think. However, having said that, I'm definitely thankful to Allah for giving me the chance to have a child. Alhamdulillah. I always say that I'm not ready to have a baby girl, but if for any reason I were to give birth to a baby girl, I would say that Allah knows best and he would know when I'm ready or not. So really, I'm not too bothered of the baby's sex. For as long as baby is healthy, Insha'Allah I'll be ready for him/her but for now, I'm still not prepared. Having said that, I guess I won't be ready even until he/she's a teenager and beyond!

Anyway, I've been getting a lot of videos from friends on my Facebook list regarding Dajjal and End of the world. Every time I watch these videos it bring tears to my eyes. I wonder if I can bring up my child to be a good Muslim/Muslimah? Everyday, I try my very best to grasp as much information as I can on how to bring up my child to become a good, in fact, great Muslim Insha'Allah. I hope I will be able to teach him/her more about the after life while I'm still alive, Insha'Allah. It scares me A LOT knowing that the signs are there and yet we as a Muslim can't even see it. How about in years or even days to come when the Dajjal appears, are we ready for it? We are so oblivious with the world we're living in now and would it be too late to actually turn back time?? Would we be able to know that we're on the right path, which is Islam? I'm scared! I pray everyday that I will be there throughout my child(ren)'s journey in this world. I want to personally bring them up to become good muslimin/muslimah. I've been watching Youtube clips about the signs of Dajjal or even about the Christians. I hunger for new knowledge everyday. Alhamdulillah Hubby's been the one "feeding" me with all these stories or videos. Masha'Allah he's definitely a different person than he was before we got married and that's definitely in a great way, Alhamdulillah.We've been reading Surah Luqman ever since I got pregnant (slightly a few months throughout the pregancy) until now. Alhamdulillah Hubby's memorised the whole Surah and make an attempt to read it everytime we Solat Maghrib/Isya' together. Everyday we try to become a better Muslim and Insha'Allah all we can do is to pray to Allah S.W.T so he shows us the right path when the day comes. Amin. Insha'Allah.

I know those of you who are reading this entry are mostly parents. How do you all teach your children that Islam is indeed the right religion? My parents have been great! They've got loadsssssss of books on Islam. Normally it's my Mom reading and telling me what she's learnt/read. So I'd normally listen and learn from her. Truthfully, I hate reading! I'd rather watch videos than reading. Hubby on the other hand don't mind reading. So nowadays, he's the one reading and telling me about the story he's read. Which has worked brilliantly for us But when the baby comes, as a Mother I think I ought to teach him/her about Islam. Hopefully Insha'Allah I will start reading and telling baby the stories as how Mommy did to us. Insha'Allah.

I think I better log off now. It's 12:30a.m and my back hurts so much! hehehe Insha'Allah, I will return when I have something beneficial to talk about.

Wassalam.

A new beginning.

I used to blog a lot because I love to see increasing number on my Sitemeter counter. However, I feel as if my life now is too personal to be shared with anyone and everyone. Since the people that I write for don't read it that often anymore, I think that I'm only exposing myself to random strangers. As of now, I've privatised ALL my entries because I think it's best to keep it to myself and not to the world.

It's been a pleasure getting to know all of you. Thank you all for your inputs and outputs. I will still be around Insha'Allah to read your posts. Do take care of yourself and may we cross paths again, Insha'Allah.

Love.
