Something to ponder...


It has been a long time. Life has been so and so. Maybe for the best.... I hope. Sometimes, being a mum you tend to be defensive but then again which mum wouldn't.
The story lies at the depth of the conversation,

" Fidah, diorang selalu tak kata Shuhadah small," said a certain pain in the neck individual named N, if you know who you are.

" Yup, maybe I think dia terlalu manja," I smiled.

" No, I mean dia punya speech development...macam lambat." I looked at her or was it more like staring at her in disbelief and maybe hope that the ceiling wall would crumbled and fall on her. I was on fire and my andrenalin surged through me, begging me to slap her face.

My Nur Shuhadah
= 1 year 5 months
words she can say = abah, abu (meaning ibu), ball, yum yum ( food ). Meaning, its okay. Can point to the moon, stars, eye, ear, nose and the toilet. She can hum the Barney, I love you song.


Baby talk at 18 months. Babies at this age say up to 10 simple words and can point to people, objects, and body parts you name for them. They repeat words or sounds they hear you say, like the last word in a sentence. But they often leave off endings or beginnings of words. For example, they may say "daw" for "dog" or "noo-noo's" for "noodles."

This is what happen when you have nothing else to do but stare blankly at the televisyen set 24 hours a day. Get a life !
