. I’ve just realized that I haven’t talked about the girls for a while. I share them on my Instagram time to time.

I remembered that my photographer Arriana and my dear friend Gabriel were very surprised when they learned that I am actually Muslim. This happened when we did our “Coffee Talks with Newest Yorker” video talk last April. So what this thing to do with “Celebrating Christmas in Islam”. Give a hear to my talk. I don’t even remember how we ended up talking about my religion in that day. The…
This is a very special project for me but It is a very hard one. Because I wasn’t ready until the very last minute. I call it “nursery for twins for small space”. Because It really is a challenge. When I was in my last months of pregnancy, we haven’t still found our current apartment. And my old apartment’s extra room has no window. And the old apartment…
