Since the birth of my child, I've been asked this question so many times - "How does it feel?"
For those who know me well, you might have guessed that I would answer the question with just one word or a very very brief sentence or simple gestures...
Those who know me well might also have guessed that I'm better in expressing my personal thoughts in written form...
So, here's my answer...
First of all, of course I'm very happy and excited! Ubaid is growing healthily and getting cuter day by day... To feel his tiny fingers touching my face, sort of blocking me from kissing his fat cheeks is priceless... To see him smile is the best thing ever!
Though I do feel a bit guilty because my wifey has to look after him without my presence for most of the time... She's pursuing her Masters at UPM and I'm working as a lecturer at Politeknik Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, Dungun... Taking care of a baby is not an easy task especially for the mother...
Luckily, Ubaid is not the type of baby who would wail non stop... He'll make some noise only when he's hungry... There are times when he would be a bit difficult to handle but that's because he's not feeling comfortable...
Yes, I do miss him a lot... There are a few times when I woke up in the morning and found myself being weepy... That's why I travel by bus every weekend to see him... Seeing that cute little thing inside wifey's arms as soon as I arrive there is just wonderful...
Can't wait for wifey's semester break! Both mama and baby will be coming to Terengganu and we'll be able to spend more time together!!!
Besides that, I'm feeling hopeful... I hope that Ubaid will grow up to be like me... No, I'm not talking about his future profession... Whether he wants to be a lecturer or radio DJ, it's up to him... As long as he's not robbing banks or anything... I'm talking about personality...
I dare to say that I'm a respected person... I'm cool and patient and humble and quite a nice guy... Maybe a bit introverted, but hey, that didn't stop me from having a cute girlfriend who I then married and now have a child with...
I want Ubaid to inherit all of my and wifey's excellent traits...
Lastly, I'm very very very very excited as I want to take him to so many places and do so many things with him! Zoos, Kidzania, Legoland!! NERF guns, tree house, cartoons!! Ho ho ho...
All in all, I feel blessed and I'm hoping that the future holds much more happiness for my family...
So, time for some pictures~
About one week after Ubaid's birth, we held aqiqah and tahnik for Ubaid at Masjid Jamek Kompleks Pertanian Serdang... After that, we shaved his head...
