Our Lily, Our Lesson in Love


Little hands that changed our world, one gentle touch at a time..
In your smile, we found new purpose, new strength, and softer hearts..
Lessons of love, patience, and joy, taught by a soul so small, yet so mighty..
Your first year is almost here, and we still can’t believe we get to call you ours..


    In just one year, Lily has taught us more about love, patience, and purpose than we ever imagined. She made us parents, but more than that, she made us better people. 

    Through her, we’ve learned to be more selfless, more present, and more united. Her presence didn’t just grow our family, it deepened myself and Aina's love for each other, and reminded us that the most meaningful growth often starts with the smallest hands.

    Daddy and Ibu will always be here for you Lily sayang. Daddy & Ibu will try our best to give you the best and most wholesome upbringing we can give you that is full of love and rich in culture from both of our world. Thank you for giving Ibu and Daddy the drive we have long lost for to always strive to be better.

You turn one soon sayang, Happy birthday!. Daddy and Ibu look forward to a lifetime full of joy with you, so many birthdays to look forward to. Remember to always be happy, be genuine, be kind hearted and to always be yourself. May Allah give you a better life and Afiyah in facing all the challenges arrises in your life. We have chosen your name to be the elevated one as a form of Doa for you so you are always, elevated.

Becoming The MONSTER I Hated

      I lay this down so I can own my wrong doing. I'm slowly becoming a better man, servant of God, husband, lover, father, brother and son. I'm humble enough to expose myself to the world so I can serve as a living life lesson everyone out there planning to "merajuk dengan Allah" and take the easy way out because growing internally and spiritually is not easy. To my wife Aina, I love you so much and I want you to know that all this changes I made, is beneficial for me and in return will overflow to you and Lily. I'm becoming the man you deserve.      The reason why I titled the previous post as the wasted 2nd chance is because I could have just stopped whatever nonsense that we have been doing and focussed on marriage life. I think hard on why that is not the case and I think I can at least tell from my end. I love Aina deeply and I was under the assumption that she loves me because she can be herself and explore all this dark side while I protect her. At...

The Downfall Before The Pheonix Rise.

      To start off I will need to give a little context on my past, I used to be married to my ex wife Leen from 2007 up till 2020. She's my first love and I highlighted this as this will be a cause of a lot of my headache which I will elaborate in a while.     The marriage was OK, as expected, responsibility and what not. We welcomed 3 boys, the amount of children she wanted because she was raised in a single child family and very vocal of not wanting to only have 1 child because she say it's a lonely upbringing. We got married quite early, I was 20 and she was 21 when we got married. I was under the impression we have enough time to have children at a later age but she insist after a year or so to have at least 1 baby 1st. We welcome our 1st born in 2009.     We have our 1st place in a rundown walk up apartment, 3rd floor. It was small but we're happy. That was until 2015 where I started to realized that I didn't accomplished anything much outside of...

Breaking The Cycle

      I grew up as the youngest in a family of five siblings. The one closest to me in age was already seven years older, so for most of my childhood, I learned to be alone. While others were busy with their own lives, I played in quiet corners, creating my own worlds. I don’t remember being comforted when I cried, or celebrated when I succeeded. I only remember trying, trying to be noticed, trying to be liked.      Over time, I became the “funny one,” the people pleaser. Not because I naturally was, but because I had to be. Earning attention became survival . Laughter became my language to feel seen. I wore smiles like armor, and read every room like it was a battlefield hence the reaosn why I picked up Aina's mood in a glimpse of second of seeing her or meeting her.      And speaking of battlefields, my late dad, Abaji, may Allah bless his soul, was an ex-army. His love was strict. His presence, while firm, was often felt more as pre...
