About Me

Lil' Muhammad and I

In The Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

Firstly, if you have been following me on my Instagram or Facebook, you would know that I am all about my son Lil' Muhammad. I have heard from a friend that I was said to be obsessed with my son because I kept posting pictures of him. I was like 'WHAT?!' What was that supposed to mean? Just so you know, this person who said that about me is now a mother too and well, let's just say...she's got pictures of her children all over her social networks too. So...yah. 

But yeh, I wouldn't deny that Lil' Muhammad is my world. His arrival to this world changed me largely as a person. Though I am a hundred times more exhausted than before and have absolutely no time to myself, I am a million times happier and feel that life has a whole new meaning for me. I feel important, I feel wanted and I feel loved. The feeling of watching Lil' Muhammad grow is magical. I never knew I could be so fascinated by the development of a life. 

Lil' Muhammad humbles me. He makes me think twice, thrice before I do anything. He makes me more aware of my surroundings. He tests me and pushes me to my limits. On some days, I feel like pulling out my hair from exhaustion of being a mother. But right after that, I realise that it is all worth it. Everything is worth it if it benefits Lil' Muhammad. 

Mokhsin and I

The other support pillar in my life is my husband, Mokhsin. We were wild together in our younger days before we had a family. But we also grew and matured together. My husband and I, we have a special relationship. Lovey-dovey we are not. Romantic? NO!!! We don't even celebrate our wedding anniversary because most of the time we forget until the date is over. 

What we have is more than celebrating our relationship once every year. The one thing that draw us to each other is the love for some common things - backpacking, books, movies and awesome conversations. We can sit at a coffee shop all day and sip on coffee and chat about everything under the sun. We will talk about books or criticise about movies we just watched or talk about where will our next backpacking destination be.

In short, we CONNECT.

Today, my husband works with me to develop my personal style blog. Who better to take my photographs than my husband? I mean, I feel so comfortable posing in front of someone who knows me and who laughs at my silly antics. And not forgetting, he is also an awesome photographer. I was on cloud nine when he agreed to my husband-and-wife collaboration proposal! 

The Mokhsin Moehtar Family

I am all about my family. I wouldn't be who I am today if not for these loves in my life. 

While I make YouTube hijab tutorial videos, work on my blog, write my books, these two special souls keep me grounded and humble. They remind me of my secondary purpose in life (primary purpose of course is to live to worship My Lord) and they give my life true meaning. 

I am not a famous YouTuber or blogger or writer. But in the hearts of my family members, I am a wife and a mother and they need me as much as I need them. While I am not important in the eyes of many, I know that I will always be important in the eyes of my beloved husband and my son. 

All Praise Be To Allah
