The Fever of Traumatic Fear

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

I remember not too long ago when I was about 8 or 9 years old, I
was watching television with my aunt and there was a musical show
airing on RTM. Must be one of those “Hiburan Minggu Ini” shows and one
of the artists performing was the renowned M. Daud Kilau.

that screamed “Woooooo!!” on top of his lungs at every exploding
firework. He was standing really near to us so despite being close to
PICC, the background sound for my recording was not Italian music but a

Of little birdie and little ballie-ballie

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

Its just unbelievable thinking about this tiny little dude that’s
growing inside my tummy, sucking the calcium outta my system, pressing
the hell outta my bladder. I am now 20 weeks throughout the gestational
period, the image above was taken when I was 18 weeks bloated pregnant. Yes, Insya Allah we are having a boy!….
