K-pop music is being played constantly in this house. BlackPink, MomoLand, 2NE1, Girls Generation, Twice, GOT7, BTS, you name it, we play it. My girls' current favorite group My two girls are so into Korean music, I can't even switch the videos/songs without getting them shouting "Mamaaa noooo I want to dance to that song!". Now the songs are obviously stuck and being...

My car's finally being repaired. Since I don't have my car with me for the week (most probably two), we're mostly staying indoors. Actually I do have a loaned car - my dad's - but I've pledged myself not to drive it around except only for school runs, just because. We did not do any grocery shopping over the last weekend, and we're...

How'd you feel, or what'd you do if you're caught up in a space bubble, never to step out into the outside world throughout your whole life, and only to later know there was really nothing wrong with you that you should be forbidden from the world in the first place? That's what this story Everything Everything is about. I saw the book...

I don't consider myself a bookworm, I was far from being one throughout my life. Be it novels, newspapers nor the school text books; I never bothered. I only read occasionally only when it picks up my interest, and whenever I start flipping one, it'll still take me weeks(forever!) to get done with. I'm more of a blog person, I guess. Personal views...

We're going to Yogyakarta October-end! We, as in my husband and I. Yes, just us two. No kids. First trip without kids after almost 6 long years. What shall we expect from this trip? Not putting too high of hope, really. We don't even know what to be put into our itinerary. Heck we are even still contemplating to proceed with this trip....

I've not been getting enough sleep. Mayesa hasn't been feeling well for the past few days. Life of a mother, eh.. whenever the child is unwell, you'll definitely be a sleepless mother (re:zombie) - constantly waking up to check on your sick child. I've been cranky just as she is, snapping at almost everything that irritates me. A sleepless mother, is a monster...

Oh how I wish it really does raining mocha. I'd sing and dance in the rain, twirling around gleefully from the increasing heart rate from gulping way too much caffeine into my system. It's definitely a nice weather change, from way too bright and sunny to this gloomy chilly rainy season. Just that we're currently in the midst of another long school break...

Day xx of yoga - unable to exactly count how many days since I first started doing yoga considering I've stopped for a period of time every couple of weeks - I could say I'm slowly getting there, getting much stronger and more flexible as day goes by. A little slow progress on stability though, I guess I've lost my centre of gravity...

I finally finished reading Jojo Moyes' After You early this morning. It took me 3 days to get done with, could be quicker if I had nothing else up on my sleeves. *I've borrowed this book months before from my sister-in-law, and just couldn't bring myself to start flipping; but once I started I was determined to finish it quick* Didn't get to...

Mayesa had her first school trip to the chocolate factory, back in March. I know I'm backdated wayyyy too long, but it'd better be kept here now than never. So yeah. The trip wasn't a compulsory and no surprise that I was a little reluctant at first to let her go. She had been asking us to bring her on a bus ride...

I've figured the easiest way to transfer my photos from my phone to my laptop, and I've done just that this morning. I'm going through each photos now..ahhh the cuteness, the cheekiness.. Babies are adorable, no doubt. Syukur Ya Allah atas rezeki dan kurniaan-Mu Ya Allah. That's it. Two babies for me. Two girls. Just two. I'm twodotsmama. X ...

I know I'm not the only one facing the same issue with iPhone. My trusted iPhone6+ would still be in use if only the battery lasts longer. I had to charge it at least twice a day, heck I'm not even a heavy user. That got me irritated, so I passed it down to my daughters now to use it. My husband's iPhone6...
