Thinking out loud

I took off my 'tudung' (hijab) a year ago. I just did not want to wear it anymore. I felt hot and bothered so I took it off. A few asked while many were too polite but in their minds they were making their own conclusions. Oh she will go to hell indeed. Oh her husband will get lots of 'dosa' (sin). Oh I hope her faith is weak never on the right path anyways. Whatever. I wore it for a good five years. I remember the first day I stepped out of the house in it. Felt weird with my hair all covered but I didn't feel hot or bothered then. I was happy to wear it. Felt safe and calm.

Five years on, I decided, nah, don't wanna anymore. So there. It does not mean I am unhappy, stressed and crazy. 

I just don't want to wear it anymore.

May! Oh May!

We took the kids to KLCC splash park. Ali loved it as the water was just the right depth. Spot them if you can! After that we ate the second floor food court where Sarah's favourite outlet was calling her name...Humble Beginnings. She had a whole slice of mille crepe to herself. Must learn to make this. Cheap ingredients but so labour intensive.
Ali loves construction vehicles - excavators, backhoes, dump trucks the list goes on. One day he hit the jackpot right outside Sarah's school. We parked ourselves right in front of the action while waiting for her to finish. He was so engrossed. We have started buying him all these kind of toys and he also watches these type of videos on youtube.
