Website -->
http://lollipopscarf.blogspot.com

We're in the middle of transferring all the hijab/tudung from CHARMSandCOLORS to Lollipop Scarf, that's why I put both of the addresses here.
Nanti kalau Lollipop Scarf dah fully established, CHARMSandCOLORS hanya untuk wedding guestbook, stickers, and all the crafty things sahaja.

and insya 'allah dua-dua blog pun aku updet, kalo tak bizi...
(mcm harapan je kan. haha)

Ada yang siap request suh aku amik stok tudung Fareeda.
wuhuhu... yang itu idak la kot.
mahai bebeno...
Takat beli untuk diri sendiri bole la.
Setakat ni pun aku cuma ada 3 helai je dalam simpanan.
Itupun khas untuk pakai ke function or wedding2.
Belum sampai ke tahap mengabihkan beratus-ratus ringgit untuk sehelai tudung.
Brand Jasmin ngan Maira tu pun dah cukup best and selesa kat kepala aku nih.
seriesly!

Bak kata my SIL yang introduce me to these hijab, 'kalau dah try pakai tudung Jasmin memang dah tanak pakai tudung lain dah...

well, exceptional to Fareeda la.

the office.

2012-01-20T12:01:00.000+08:00

So this is us during one event at my office.
hari-hari terakhir di sini sebelum berpindah ke company baru...
from sub Sime Darby yang sangat banyak benefitnya ke sub Petronas yang tak berapa nak best.

'ohh agak sedeh di situ.

sungguh comel okeh ini cheese cake.
sedap pulak tuh.
macam sayang je nak makan sebab ada nama aku kan.
tapi lepas amik gambar dah selamat masuk dalam perut pun. hihi.

wearing my favourite Tudung Jasmin as usual.
sesapa nak order bole pegi kat my Facebook : CHARMSandCOLORS
or http://charmsandcolors.blogspot.com

blog tak berapa nak updet sebab bizi.
and that tudung is based on availability jugalah sebab selalunya tiap kali stok baru sampai cepat je habis. insha' allah after Chinese New Year ni stok baru sampai lagi ^_^

ramai kan department aku nih.
HR + Administration + Security.
more than 50 staff all over.
tapi tak dapat pun nak ngambil gambar semua.

dah ramai2 gitu 'ramai' jugaklah perangainya.
ada yang talam bermuka-muka, ada yang batu api, ada yang tukang report, ada yang kaki bodek bos, macam-macam lagi lah. ramai jugak orang begitu yang dah resign tapi of cos la ada lagi yang masih tinggal.

pada aku, lantak ko la dol.
malas nak amik pot sangat.
yang penting aku tak kacau orang so tak payah nak sibuk2 jaga tepi kain aku.
menyemak hokey menyemak.

I work for the sake of learning and money so kalau jumpa orang begitu pun buat tak tahu sajalah.

tapi memang kat mana-mana pun sama sebenarnya, akan jumpa juga orang begitu, kan?
...

By the way, ada orang tanya what's the use of having blog when u don't let us read it?

hohoo kau mau tahu ya...

kan mata pena itu lebih tajam menikam dari mulut yang berkata-kata?

ohh tak faham lagi ya?

nevermind, soon you'll understand.
...

wishing for fooood!

2012-01-16T10:22:00.001+08:00

Ada 3 benda yang aku nakkkk sangat makan tapi tak dapat lagi.

Yang pertama, Red Velvet yang sedap, yang konon-konon melt in your mouth la.
Tamau red velvet yang biasa2 sebab first impression are the most lasting, kan.
Macam Marble Cheese by Secret Recipe yg diperkenalkan oleh my sis.
That's the first cheese cake that I've ever tasted and of course that's the tastiest kan.
Sampai sekarang pun Secret Recipe la kek yang paling aku suka.

Teringat time belajar dulu, aku ngan Ann gigih drive jauh2 dari Bkt Beruang gi carik Secret Recipe kat town sebab aku ketagih nak mkn cheese cake sampai siap berbuka dalam kete sebab jalan jem.

gila kau.
nasib baik ada teman yang bole kuheret ke sana kumari.
'tengs Ann... jasamu dikenang. hehe.

So kalau first time pun rasa mcm kek sponge, kompem red velvet dapat reputasi buruk kat mata aku. kompem2 la takkan beli lagi, kan.
So... for the first tasting, I want a red velvet that will melt in my mouth.
ala2 Marble Cheese Cake gitu.

so, ada sesapa tau kat mana mau dapat yang sedap itu?

Yang kedua adalah Chocolate Cheese & Original Mille Crepe Cake by Nadeje Patisserie.
Telah jatuh hati dengan ini Mille Crepe Cake bila jalan2 kat Malaysiamostwanted and Makanmalaya sebab nak cari tempat makan best.
Tup tup tengok crepe cake tu was voted number 1 ok dalam Melaka Most Wanted Food.

'gilo aih. kalah ikan bakar Parameswara.

And kehendak yang ketiga adalah : French Vanilla by Humble Beginnings.
http://myshop.humblebeginnings.com.my

'pehhh... tengok gambo pun macam nak meleleh air liur dah.

Review on Nadeje Patisserie Mille & Humble Beginnings Crepe Cake :

So secara automatik, tiga benda ni masuk dalam wishlist 2012 ye.
'gigih tak aku menglistkan benda yang gila teringin nak makan petang2 gini.
siap masuk dalam azam 2012 gitu.

what to do kan.
I am a food lover.
I love food.
I love it, love it, loveee it.
I am an extremist food lover.
haha.

wagon/walker toys.

2012-01-13T08:12:00.000+08:00

I was online window-shopping yesterday in search for a toy for little Danish.
Now I know why I didn’t buy any toy for Danish lately... it's so difficult to pick one toy that satisfy my criteria!

Bukan memilih sangat pun.
I just want something that's unique in design.
+ value for money.
+ minimum clutter to the house.
and a toy that Danish will definitely play & appreciate until he’s 5 at least. heee~

My choices are narrowed down to these three walker cum wagon cum ride-ons.
But I'm not sure which is the best purchase.

Fisher-Price : Walker to Wagon

Little Tikes : My First Cozy Coupe Walker Ride On

Taf Toys : Developmental Walker (4 in 1 Usage)

Macam tiga2 pun sangat tastylah but I personally love the first one.
Try search brand lain macam Playskool tapi entah ye.
Bila dah tambah2 search nih banyak la benda lain yang masuk dalam list aku macam Rocking Horse from Little Tikes tu.

Tapi Danish belum stabil nak guna ride-ons macam ni lagi kot.
Tunggu lagi 6 bulan la mommy belikan kuda utk Danish ye.
Sekarang kita main itu wagon dulu okeh?

--------------------------------

10th month :
Your baby may be able to walk if you hold both of his hands. Keep in mind that each child is different and don’t force your child to walk, if he is not ready for it. He can perceive depth and if he crawls, he does not attempt to go down steps head first. He responds to one or two commands. Furthermore he begins to anticipate and remember (example: when the refrigerator opens he expects food; when you grab your purse, he will expect you’re going out). When you are singing together he may even know when the surprise happens. He pokes, prods, and explores with his hands. He peeps around corners and loves to play peek-a-boo. He begins to show a preference for the sounds he hears in the language(s) spoken around him. He imitates and tries to copy actions.

Activity :
• Show him how to push a small car or truck along the floor. After a while, he’ll learn to let go so that the car rolls by itself.
• Play “follow the leader”; he’ll love to imitate. Use simple gestures like tapping the table, opening and closing your fist, or putting a hat on your head. Talk about what you’re doing so he can learn the words.
• Talk to him on a real or play phone. He’ll learn the fun of carrying on a conversation.
• Go outside: At this stage, he’ll enjoy putting things into other things. He’ll enjoy putting leaves, twigs or toys in a container/bucket.
• Put a small toy inside a paper bag or box. As he struggles to get it, he’ll increase his understanding of inside and out.
• Reserve a cabinet for his toys; putting them away can be half the fun.
• Help him blow bubbles using a straw in his bathwater. You blow, and see if he’ll imitate you.
• Toys : Building blocks, play phones, toys that fit in each other, wheel pals, creativity tables.

11th month :
Your child cruises along the furniture, standing up without your help. He pulls himself up and sits again with confidence. He knows that smaller objects fit in larger ones. His babbling begins to have the intonation of language. He responds to one or two commands. He knows the word “no,” but may not be able to cease from trying something anyway.

Activity :
• Chase games are fantastic to play now as it is fun to crawl from Mommy and Daddy, but safe when they catch up.
• Create obstacle courses with pillows. This will challenge the baby’s physical and mental abilities. Your baby will learn to use his body and take risks – this will help him build confidence. You will see how rewarding it is for your Baby and you to have baby conquer a complicated course that can involve going through, under, around and over things like pillows.
• Play hide-and-seek games with objects. You can use stuffed animal or toys and hide them in a place that is easily for your baby to locate. Let your baby take a turn hiding an object from you too.
• Play with flour paint: Spread a thin layer of flour on a clean, smooth surface. Demonstrate how to rub your finger in the floor to make circles, zigzags and slashes.
• Get a laugh: He’s developing a sense of humour and will laugh when something isn’t right, like when you pretend to drink from his bottle or try to put on his shoe. Change the game and let him put on your shoe.
• Push a toy car through a cardboard tunnel. See if he watches for it to come out the other side.
• Roll him a ball and encourage him to roll it back. He’ll get better as you practice.
• Dress a doll or stuffed animal in an outfit with a zipper. Show him how the zipper goes up and down. Before long, he’ll try to pull down the zipper himself.
• Toys : Wheel pals, toy cars, walk and ride toys, dolls that can be dressed and undressed.

12th month :
At this age you will see that your baby likes other children but does not play with them. He imitates actions such as talking on the phone, sweeping, pushing a shopping cart, etc. He is able to anticipate your action (example: he may have his arms ready for his t-shirt). Your 1-year-old moves one toy to reach another that was hidden from view. He now makes only the sounds found in the language he hears. He understands much of what is being said. He displays affection in hugs, kisses and smiles.

Activity :
• By the time your baby reaches 1 year of age, he is ready to explore the world. Simple games, obstacle courses and rhyming songs can entertain your baby for many hours and help him to learn while strengthening his body and mind.
• Isolate a particular smaller age appropriate toy or set up a little scene (like a group of toy cars parked or an age appropriate puzzle on the couch, chair or somewhere on the floor. Let your baby crawl to it and discover the toy on an unusual place. You will see that when your baby reaches the toy, it will hold his interest by the very fact that it’s in an unusual place. Put out different toys on varying days to keep your baby curious.
• You can try finger plays and songs, such as the “Itsy Bitsy Spider” or “Twinkle twinkle little star”. Babies love music and they love to imitate others. Soon he’ll be trying to sing along and imitate your moves. Be creative when doing finger plays. You can rock your baby in your lap on the floor as you “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” gently down the stream together. Your baby may surprise you with some extra giggles and smiles as you play and sing.
• Fold a piece of cardboard and make a hill. Show him how to put a toy car on top and let it roll down.
• Stack blocks: Large cardboard nesting alphabet blocks can be used as containers, building blocks and nesting toys.
• Build a tower, and then give him a turn. But don’t be surprised if he would rather knock down yours than build one on his own.
• Play with sand. A soup strainer is a good sandbox toy because it’s easy for him to manipulate, and he can watch the sand pour out from different heights.
• Show him his shadow on a sunny day. Stand in his and let he stand in yours.
• Play with older children: If he doesn’t have older siblings, invite some older kids over to play with. He’ll mimic what they’re doing, and you’ll be surprised at how much he will learn.
• Give him a stroller or shopping cart and send him for a stroll.
• Put a few items, such as a spoon, toy car and cup, in a shoebox. Name each one as he pulls it out of the box. The more you play naming games with him, the more opportunities he has to learn language.
• Toys : Walking and riding toys, cars, dolls, strollers, building blocks, interactive books.

kisah semasa kecil.

2012-01-10T19:04:00.000+08:00

Memang banyak yang mau dicerita tapi mood untuk menulis macam tak ada.
Nak start dari mana pun tatau.
Jadi cuma copy and paste dari my sis's blog sahaja sebab apa yang dia tulis adalah sama dengan apa yang ada dalam otak aku.

I'm so so glad that she finally came up with this story sebab aku takut lama2 mungkin akan terus hilang ingatan tentang kisah ini.

kisah kenangan semasa kecil yang sangat-sangat manis and tak mungkin akan lalui sekali lagi...

http://himawari1504.blogspot.com

-----------------------

type entry tanpa rasa bersalah tak update blog selama sebulan hihi

saya balik johor minggu lepas untuk 5 hari
rindu gila nak balik johor, rindu family, rindu rumah dan rindu makanan2 johor

seminggu sebelum balik tu, saya siap termimpi2 lagi
tapi yang peliknya mimpi pasal rumah di quarters majlis daerah dulu
yolah, sejak lahir sampai umur saya 24 tahun weols duduk di rumah tu
rumah kecik gila, setingkat je, bilik tidur cuma ada 3, bilik air satu saja
dahla tepi hutan belantara
tapi kitorang ok je gembira, takmau pindah2 dari situ
sebab halaman sangatlah luas, siap berpagar ada pak guard lagi
nak main petang2 memang bestlah
nak buat kenduri kahwin 100 khemah pun takdehal
ingat lagi masa darjah 4, kitorang hampir pindah ke rumah weols di shah alam, tapi tak jadi sebab kitorang semua termasuk mak mogok taknak

setiap pagi tepat pukul 6.30 pagi, akan startla bising gila bunyi-bunyian enjin lori
sebab kawasan tu tempat parking lori sampah, lori bagak dan lori2 lain jugak
so semua pekerja majlis daerah akan datang start kerja ambik lori, troli sampah kayu yang tolak2 tu dan segala macam peralatan di situ
lori sampah ok, lori sampah
kalau ada tong sampah besar yang baru, kitorang akan merasmikan dengan main kat dalamnye
zaman dulu kan lori sampah yang 4 segi besar tu, campak2 je sampah atas tu, tak macam sekarang, dah automatik mampatkan sampah bila masuk
lori ape yang saya tak pernah main, sila cakap
crane yang besar tu pun saya pernah main2, sapa suruh parking situ kan hihi
kalau ada mobile scaffolding tu lagi best
kitorang naik ramai2 dan tolak laju2
masa tu family cik lah,mak cik saya datang,so dengan sepupu sepapat weols ramai2 naik scaffolding tu dan tolak laju2
ngeri gila bila ingat balik T_T

sebelah kanan rumah pulak, dumping area
iaitu tempat buang sampah besar-besaran
fuh nasib baik takde bau sampai ke rumah
dulu first time saya main masak2 dengan along dengan boy kat situ la
kitorang terjumpa kuali lama
then along curik2 ambik beras dengan kacang kat dapur
lalu kitorang pun buat unggun api dan masak nasik kacang
bila mak tau, terus kena marah sebab mak kata kuali tu kannnnnnnnnn ambik kat dumpinggg kotorrrrrrrrrr, hishhhh budak2 niiiiiiiiii

itu la akibatnya 3 beradik yang beza setahun je, kepala sama je, jadi best main sama2
along selalu buat permainan or pertandingan yang pelik2. mula2 kena lari 10 meter, lepastu lalu atas paip air, pusing pokok kelapa 3 kali, petik 3 helai daun lepastu bla2 sapa sampai kat pokok jambu dulu dia menang
bila dah besar baru perasan, oh itu macam amazing race T_T

dah duduk tepi hutan a.k.a paya, dah tentulah haiwan pun tahap zoo kan.

dari kecik lagi dah jumpa segala mak nenek haiwan pelik2
biawak tu biasa la lalu tepi rumah, besar buaya pun ada
ular, memang tak payah cakap la
ular lidi memang biasa masuk
ular tedung pun, macam mana entah pada satu hari boleh masuk bilik belakang
masa tu along ada kat situ tengah ambik buku dari almari
kitorang semua berkejar ke belakang bila along jerit
sampai sekarang saya takkan lupa scene itu
ular tedung tu berdiri sambil menyembur2 arah along
along pulak kat corner dinding, tak boleh pergi mana dah
last2 abah yang pukul ular tu
setiap kali ular masuk, abah yang setelkan
ada satu hari mak terlanggar ular sawa besar masa kat luar pagar quarters tu
ular tu lintas jalan, besar gila ok panjang pulak tu
esok paginya masa bersiap nak pergi sekolah, mak terkejut gila tengok ada anak ular sawa tidur dalam almari buku
taktau bila masa dia datang
nasib baik anak ular je
dah la masa tu boy yang tidur dalam bilik tu, rilek je dia tak perasan T_T
so kitorang saspek mesti anak ular tu dia kejar bau darah mak dia tu
tu laa mak la langgar mak ular tu semalam, kan dah anak dia carik.. kata weols

satu hari, saya sedang memasak nasik dekat dapur
masa tu abah dah renovate dapur jadi berdinding
dulu dinding separuh je ok, separuh lagi open air..so sapa2 nak curik tong gas, anytime je
kalau malam2 mak nak masak untuk sahur, berani2 je la, almaklumla belakang rumah kan hutan
bayangkan ko masak sambil sekeliling gelap gelita bunyi cengkerik, monyet, gajah semua ada [ok, gajah tu tipu]
jadi satu tengahari, saya membasuh beras nak masak nasik sebelum pergi sekolah petang
sinki tu betul2 tepi pintu
tiba2 saya nampak ada benda hitam tepi kaki saya
saya terus terkujat, freeze macam air batu
ular tedung besar gila ok!!!!
dia jenguk dari bawah pintu
kebetulan bawah pintu tu gap dia besar sikit
so ular tu jenguk kepala, bercadang nak masuk, tapi bila nampak saya, dia kensel
bila ular tu berambus je, ko tau aku punya lintang pukang lari
tinggal segala beras, tak jadi masak nasik, masuk dalam, kunci 2 lapis pintu siap sendal dengan tuala takut ular datang balik, masuk bilik, call abah lalu menangis gila2
takuttt weyyy

ok, saya dah tau kenapa sampai sekarang saya fobia dengan ular
tak boleh tengok gambar langsung
tengok handbag ala2 macam kulit ular pun dah meremang bulu roma
ni tengah type perkataan ular pun saya meremang nih haaa

cuma yang peliknya, masa tu saya anggap tu macam perkara biasa
yela, memang takut, tapi, saya tak rasa macam rumah ni yang tepi hutan sangat, saya rasa macam, la ular lagi
yelah, kejap2 kala jengking masuk
lipan bara besar gila
anjing pun pernah
apekejadahnya semua haiwan nak datang rumah ni T_T
oh2 saya tau kenapa, sebab kitorang tak pernah tutup pintu
masa nak tidur je tutup pintu ok..
almaklumla kawasan berpagar ada pak guard lagi, tak takutla pencuri..
lagipun rumah itu ada banyak lubang udara sebesar penumbuk, setakat ular nak masuk tu, takdehal la

sekarang bila lalu je kawasan rumah tu, mesti saya tanya mak 'mak, macam mana kita boleh duduk rumah macam tu lama gila haa?'
mak pun tanya benda yang sama
bila tengok balik, serius macam setinggan ok
lalu kitorang pun akan sama2 bercerita pengalaman pelik2 masa duduk dekat situ
disebabkan lan2 pergi offshore harini dan saya tinggal sorang, saya tak berani nak cite antu pasal rumah tu dekat sini. fuhh

siyesly, macam mana boleh duduk sampai 24 tahun di rumah itu?
...

life is but a dream.

2012-01-04T10:40:00.000+08:00

I've been working and travelling a lot lately.
Every week.
Buat tubuh rasa lemah longlai setiap Isnin.

My parents went to KL again last weekend for my cousin's engagement.
Tapi kami tak ikut pun.
Tak larat aih.
Cuti pun dah abih.
Lagi few weeks nak berjalan ke Mlk pulak.
Lama gila tak pergi sana.
Dekat tiga tahun kot.
Sangat rindu dengan Asam Pedas Power kat Bukit Cina.
And asam pedas Hjh Mona kat Kota Laksamana.
Cendol + rojak mamak kat Bandar Hilir.
Ikan Bakar Parameswara kat Umbai.
ABC kat MP yang super sedap kat tekak aku.
plus roti yang best kat Patisfrance...
Tapi ntah ye.
Wujud lagi tak benda2 tu sekarang nih.
huhu.

And tiba2 teringat tempat2 yang selalu pergi dulu...
Kandang.
Peringgit.
Bachang.
Pokok Mangga.
Kelebang.
Pantai Kundur.
Bukit Beruang.
Tg Bidara.

my oh my.
memang tempat jatuh lagi dikenang.
...

Danish pun nak masuk setahun dah nih.
Kami pun dah nak nyambut anniversary kedua bulan depan.
Pejam celik pejam celik, rupanya nak masuk dua tahun dah aku kawin ye.

31st January 2010 - 31st January 2012.
Dua tahun yang sungguh2 membahagiakan...
tq Hubby ^_^
and tq my little Danish ^_^ ^_^
both of u makes my life complete.

this is one of Danish favourite song and tiba2 aku pun tersuka ngan klip video dia nih.

row, row, row your boat,
gently down the stream.
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
life is but a dream.

yes, life is but a dream.
...

'maksud dia macam sangat mendalam kan?

leaving the twenties.

2011-12-25T15:40:00.000+08:00

I bought a few new products recently and one of them is Kiwi Seed Oil Eye Cream by Antipodes.

Eye cream sebab tiba-tiba tengok cermin baru perasan ada fine lines di keliling mata T_T
Dan sebab tiba-tiba, my bos tegur, 'sha, u should put something under your eyes sebab it looks so bad lah.

So ok, bila suda ada yang tegur gitu harus la cepat2 ke kedai kosmetik bersoping apa yang patut.

Sangat susah oke nak pilih which eye cream yg sesuai.
Sebab there're sooo many brands out there and tak semua will works for you.
Dah la very costly nak beli satu tube kecik tu kan.

Setelah survey and baca review yg berlambak kat internet, I choose this eye cream from Antipodes sebab it's an organic brand, suitable for sensitive skins like mine and yg paling best adalah it has been voted as Best Global Application Eye Cream Award for 2011 by Harper's Bazaar.

Mula-mula nak beli the one from Dermalogica, but my sis ckp dia guna the skincare range and tak ok lansung! So she just stick with Nu Skin. And then try kat kaunter Origins and Dr Brandt. Tapi akhirnya beli this one kat Skinlab JJ Tebrau.

Ultra-rich Vitamin C from the seed of the New Zealand kiwi fruit works superbly to help repair damaged tissue around the delicate eye area. Containing carrot seed oil, aloe gel and 100% pure avocado oil, this is a fragrance-free product your skin will love.

All of the certified organic and natural beauty products in our skincare range have vegetarian approved status.

The highly esteemed VegSoc, or Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom, has awarded us this major recognition : it's the oldest vegetarian organization in the world.

Last few weeks I bought a new Bobbi Brown eyeshadow.
Forest yang cantek.
'kan tgh kemaruk dgn brg2 BB nih. haha.
And I got a sample of BB eye cream in a small container.
Tried it for a few days and my eyes got itchy.

Maksudnya tak sesuai la tu kot.
And I tried one from SKII pun tak ok.
It makes my eyes watery.

I have quite a sensitive undereyes skin and I tend to react to most eye creams, but I find this one great - the Antipodes - soaks in nicely and does the trick. Although it is nice that it comes in a glass container, I think it would be better if it also came in a tube. But, still recommended though.

Tak bole nak komen banyak sangat sebab baru start guna tapi setakat ni aku memang puas hatilah even though belum hilang pun all the fine lines and the puffiness. Cuma at least mata aku tak kering kontang pedih2 la cam dulu.

Di penghujung usia ni baru la berkobar-kobar mau makai segala mak bapak skincare ni khans. Kalau tak, haremmm...
Balik rumah simbah2 muka dgn air, lap2, terus tido.
Esok paginya baru basuh muka dengan cleanser.
Nasib baik sejak gunakan barang Nu Skin ni kulit aku yang dibasuh jarang2 ni pun still ok.
Kot tak mau timbul segala anak beranak jerawat kat muka.
haha.

Pict taken during my birthday dinner @ out fav restaurant, Johnny's Bukit Indah, wearing my fav shawl.

Steamboat tom yam as usual, plus Secret Recipe Marble Cheese, and the must-have Mixed Dessert.
'oh yummieh!

Kalau bawak online kupon tu dapat benda free lagi yo.
ohh mak suker nyah!
...

and yes, I'm leaving the twenties soon.
*sigh*

our little crib.

2011-12-03T18:32:00.000+08:00

All I could say is, "I've been so busy living and I haven't had time to blog about life!"
...

Sebenarnya nak post pasal giveaways arini tapi kompem tak sempat.
And since ada beberapa orang msg & email aku suruh cerita pasal rumah so marilah bercerita tentang yang itu ya.

Tapi pasal kontraktor mana aku guna utk buat cornice, cat rumah, buat awning, etc2 tu nanti-nantilah aku cerita sebab tak sempat nak cek ngan encik Hubby sebab dia yang nguruskan semua.

sorry ya fainie, I promise I will write about it soon.
*sha, sila jangan buat janji2 palsu ya =p

no, really!
I've been meaning to write about the house for quite sometimes.
tapi, haih..
as usual, lah.

macam cerita pasal kawin.
macam cerita bersalin.
semuanya sekerat jalan.

and ye, akhirnya dah setahun kami pindah rumah ni tapi cerita pun tak abih.

so, ok. this is our little crib.

Gambar waktu baru2 beli dulu.
Time ni baru dapat kunci, I was preggy with little Danish tapi sibuk2 jugalah nak pergi tengok rumah.

Wayar berselirat kat ceiling sebab lampu, elektrik semua tak masuk lagi.
Rumah pun belum cuci.

Time ni kontraktor baru siap buat plaster ceiling and Hubby tengah cat rumah dengan kawan dia.

We choose dark brown utk feature wall and cream color for base.

kaler yg selamat.
Sebab senang nak match dengan apa jua furniture pun, apa jua warna langsir.
Kalau tak kang mesti tiap tahun kena cat rumah plus tukar langsir baru sebab nak match dedua.

ye la, takkan wall hijau, langsir kaler merah pulak, kan.
harus tetamu datang beraya mengutuk zaman-berzaman.

And tak mungkin nak tukar langsir selalu sangat sebab nak pasang langsir tu pun kena guna tangga yang sangat tinggi hokey.

And tak mungkin larat nak cat every year sebab gila penat!
sebab the ceiling is very2 high.
That's why pilih warna selamat iaitu encik coklat.

Aku dah awal-awal pesan kat Hubby, feature wall je cat kaler pekat tu tapi Hubby tercat 2 dinding plak and time dia tengah operasi mengecat tu of cos aku takde sebab dihalang ke tempat kejadian sampai semuanya selesai so memang selamat sejahteralah dinding aku yang kat dining hall tu pun kaler dark brown ye.

Takkan nak cat balik, kan.
gilo aih.
dah cukup baik si dia yang tersayang sudi membanting tulang mengecat sendiri, kan.

and nasib baik bercadang nak letak cermin besar kat situ so mmg nampak elok je la dinding tu.

And this is the dry kitchen.
Tema adalah merah hitam ye.

Tengah bersepah sebab time ni baru angkut barang sikit2 so memang longgok semua kat dapur la. Dengan segala hadiah kawin, plastik2 ntah isi apa semua la.

All pict was taken by my E63 sebab takde DSLR lagi time tu kan.
Kamera pun takde so guna henpon cabuk sajalah.

Gambar yang lain akan diupload lain kali ya.
gambar master bedroom, family hall, tingkat atas, courtyard yg sekangkang kera, etc2.
...

Sebenarnya memang tak plan pun nak beli rumah lagi.
macam tiba2.
Memang ingatkan lagi 5, 10 tahun lah baru nak beli or buat rumah sendiri.
entah ye.
Sebab time jalan2 tu tiba2 nampak and tiba2 excited, and tiba2 terbeli.

Ada orang senang, tak payah nak susah-susah ngumpul duit dah dapat sebijik rumah.
Tapi bila hasil dari titik peluh sendiri, perasaannya memang tak tergambarlah.
Sangat excited hokey sebab macam tak sangka akhirnya kami berjaya miliki sebuah rumah sendiri before 30.

only god knows what we've gone thru to get to this phase.
alhamdulillah...

and last but not least, kawan-kawan... silalah LIKE my FB page ya : CHARMSandCOLORS
tengkiu.

yang merah

2011-11-16T22:17:00.006+08:00

Dah beli pun sebijik Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Patutnya nak beli Asus Eee Pad Transformer yg veri elegant and sgt best itu tapi bila survey2 ingatkan yg Asus ni takleh buat GPS, tu yg beli Samsung. Lagipun Samsung lebih nipis and ringan compared to Asus.

Memang la ringan... dia buat dari plastik je...
macam barang murahan.

Asus memang la lagi berat tapi kalau tengok rupa dah tau teguh tegap gitu.

The Asus wins on performance (mostly for playing smooth videos), usability (because of the extra ports and better dock), and storage (because of the SD card slot). The Samsung wins on screen quality (brightness and clarity), portability (lighter and thinner), and the built-in camera (for quality and accuracy).

Bila dah beli Samsung ni rasa macam regret pulak sebab dari dulu memang sangat suka dengan Asus tu tapi nak buat cemana kan, dah terbeli... ni sume pasal orang kat PC Fair yg handle booth Asus tu takde knowledge pasal tablet PC la, kalau tak memang aku dah angkut menatang tuh. geramnyeh!

Tapi Samsung ni ok jugak la... ringan and sarung dia byk jual sebab ramai orang pakai.
Kalau Asus tu susah nak cari sarung dia.

takpe2. yang penting dapat.
ahaks.

And dah beli pun stroller Maclaren.
kaler merah ye.

alhamdulillah... omak dapat order tudung berlambak2 so rezeki Emir la nih.
dah alang2 tu nak promote jugak... silalah LIKE my Facebook page ya : CHARMSandCOLORS
...

Sebenarnya tatau mau beli Maclaren or Esprit.
Pegi Toy r Us, jumpa Esprit tu pun murahan, ringan and boleh recline abis mcm Combi and boleh lipat jadi payung juger. And lebih ringan daripada Maclaren.

Tapi ntah ye. Sebab hati memang nak Maclaren kot so malas nak compare2 nanti jadi mcm tragedi Samsung tab tuh.

Bila dah beli that stroller, si Azie ckp nak jual Quinny Zapp dia pulak...
RM680 je okeh.
haih.
Aku dah takleh beli la sebab dah ada 2 stroller nih.
Kot kalau korang berminat sila la msg kat blog dia okeh.

I'm still young, and walaupun agak menat nguruskan rumahtangga, I'm still full of energy.
and, I love to shop.
Aku tak kesah orang nak cakap apapun sebab itu adalah kehendak aku.
I don't need an LED screen, any of those baby walker, air conditioner, smartphones or anything sebab itu belum menjadi suatu keperluan.
'macam kalau mahu fully breastfeed my son instead of giving him formula, kan itu pilihan masing-masing?
...

Setiap orang ada kehendak yang tersendiri so jangan nak bergosip2 kalau aku nak beli 10 kereta pun eh.

Silalah bergembira dengan apa yang kita ada at this moment sebab memang we can't have everything all at once.

'kan?

Something...

2011-11-08T04:20:00.000+08:00

I've been very busy lately.
Dengan kerja yang bertimbun, dengan segala urusan rumahtangga membasuh mengemas, dengan nak buat aqiqah lagi, nak lipat2 kotak souvenir, ikat2 riben yang beratus-ratus, ngan bisnes aku yang baru berkembang, nak menggosok tudung yang bertimbun, ngan nak melayan cik baby yang tgh demam nak tumbuh gigi.
haiyohhhh!

Life has been really hectic.
Nak reply komen dan email from bloggers kesayangans pun tak sempat.
Sampai ada yang tegur suruh pakai eye cream sebab mata aku sudah ada dark circle yg hitam2 gitu T_T

oh tapi sangat puas hati dengan the souvenir!
Price is less than RM4 and I got something better than expected.
And it's hotstamping in gold hokey!
yey!
so, it's totally recommended.
gambar sebenar akan diuplod selepas majlis.

Kalau ada sesapa yang nak order personalized yassin, u may contact me for details ya.
nak tulis kat sini tak ingat website dia.
And if u do order from him, jgn lupa mention my name so that he knew that I DO PROMOTE HIM.
haha.

Aku tak kesah nak promote anything kat sini as long as aku ada guna produk tu and servis memuaskan, why not kan.
so En Zaki, I really did promote u in my blog ya =p

And I'll be doing some giveaways soon.
Maybe start Monday ni kot....... kalau aku tak bizi =p
But there're great prizes to be won hokey.
So sila la masuk.
hint adalah why do u read this blog.
haha.

alhamdulillah...

2011-10-26T22:41:00.000+08:00

Walaupun semalam kereta telah merajuk tapi arini adalah sangat hepi!
lalala~

It's something to do with Hubby's job tapi mmg aku yg terlebih hepi sebab this is something that he wants sooo badly and he has been moody about it lately, so when this thing finally happens, of cos la kitorang sangat hepi kan. syukur sangat2...

Teringat dulu one of my fren pernah cakap, 'takpe sabar je dulu, orang yang sabar lambat-laut akan dapat jugak balasannya, kan.
...

only God knows what we've gone thru to get to this stage.
alhamdulillah ya Allah...

Arini juger sangat hepi sebab semalam, 20th Oct 2011, Danish comel dah tumbuh gigi!
4 batang hokey.

and dia telah merangkak ngan dasat!
and kalau berdiri tu sebelah tangan dia mesti nak lepas.
veri d berangan macam dah besar sangat la tuh.
ohhh the comelness!

And I'm working on something right now.
my dearie sis-in-law & little bro has been helping us out on this thing.
something yang aku suka.
something for our future.
insya allah...

p/s : my oh my oh my Faz, along seriesly tak sabo nak dpt parcel tu next week okeh. haha!

@ 8 months

2011-10-20T00:11:00.003+08:00

Sangat bizi la lately nih.
Nak updet blog tak sempat, nak reply komen pun tak sempat.
Balik kerja layan Danish kejap, dia tidur aku pun ikut tertidur.
Tapi before tidur tu aku bagi dia tengok these 3 favourite nursery rhymes yg dia suka sangat.

hepi gelak2 sambil tepuk2 laptop.
hiks.

He's 8 months and 2 weeks old now.
Dah pandai sebut Papa and Abah.
Suruh sebut Mama dia tak pandai lagi.
Abah sebab aritu Tok Mama ajar sebut Tok Abah tapi Abah je yg dok kuar dari mulut dia.
Tapi takpela sebab atuk yang belah Hubby (my in-laws) memang dia panggil abah and mak.
And 2, 3 hari pastu baru la start panggil Papa.
Papa of cos sgt hepi la kan anak dia dah pandai panggil =p

And time dia genap 8 bln, belikan botol air Bros and dah pandai minum guna straw.
Memang cerdik anak mommy ni ye.

Sekarang sangat bizi nak berdiri pulak.
Pantang tengok mommy baring, mesti sibuk la pegang kaki ke apa ke jadi tempat dia nak berpaut nak berdiri.

wuhuhu sgt lasak oke.
buat aku letih yang lemah longlai.
tapi sangat best!
^_^

alhamdulillah...

Being a parents adalah 24hrs job.
You cannot quit, pause, stop or anything because he's there, he'll always be there till the end of life.

So, to those yang masih berusaha utk dapat zuriat, please be prepared mentally and physically ya coz anak bukan sesuatu yang suka2.

A child is a responsibility.

Anak adalah satu tanggungjawab.
Tanggungjawab yang super duper besar.
Kalau rasa tanak makan arini so takyah masak terus tidur.
ooo cannot2 ye.
penat macam mana pun bila dah ada anak, tetap kena kuatkan diri utk buat yang itu ini.
...

and we're saving money for something.
soon...
insya'allah.
^_^

hohoho

2011-10-10T18:45:00.012+08:00

Baru2 ni one of my colleague wrote about something yg dia marah gila pasal sorang pompuan nih.

Startnya pasal org tak jemput dia gi open house ke hape ntah.
Pastu datang pulak cerita pasal dia laki bini suka menunjuk2 camtu la.
Aku tak ambik port sangat tapi tetiba teringat yang pompuan tu penah wrote something pasal aku la, something like aku ngutuk someone and time tu tgh pregnant. tak takut ke nak bersalin nanti. and plus a few other tokok tambah yg veri d takde kaitan ngan dia pun.

oo helo? ko jangan nak menyampuk bole tak???
benda tu takde kaitan dengan ko, bole pulak nak sibuk2 jadi batu api tuu.
heran aku.
pastu, aku ke ko yg patut takut time nak bersalin tu weh?
ewah2... bukan ko ke yg sakit manjang kena dok wad berhari2 tu wehhh?

Again I said, kalau org tak start, buat apa la aku nak hangin sgt, kan.
Orang yg kenal aku mesti tau la.
What u give, u get back la kan.
Aku sihat walafiat, muntah hape pun tadek.
Bukan riak tapi maksud di sini adalah, ko yg patut jaga mulut ko, cermin diri sendiri, jaga semua2 hak milik ko sebelum ngumpat pasal orang lain.

Kalau tak, merasa la org doa ko macam2, merasa la dapat balasan on d spot kannn.
'tetiba blog aku yg bersopan-santun ni jadi cam blog Greenapple ngan si Nyssa plak.
muahaha.

My opismate ramai yang dah tau perangai dia yang veri d talam camtu.
Dia tak sedar lagi gaknya orang lain meluat+menyampah ngan perangai talam gitu.
Laki dia gi rumah orang sume penjuru sibuk la nak membelek.
Kalo pompuan yg buat gitu tak heran sangat la.

Dulu dia pernah mencetuskan pergaduhan kat department aku nih and telah menjadi batu api yang dasat tapi konon2 dah mintak maaf la dengan semua.
Tapi ko ingat diorang2 ni bole lupa senang2 la?
heh.

And dulu my Hubby pernah advise toksah baik sgt dgn pompuan camtu tapi aku tak kesah sebab maybe dia betul2 dah berubah, kan. Lagipun, asalkan dia jaga tepi kain dia sendirik aku no problem.

Tapi tup2 tak sangka aku yg pendiam ni terkena jugak okeh.
hahaha padan muka aku la kan.

So kesimpulannya parasit macam tu mampos lagi baik.
laki gemok plus pompuan2 batu api yg sibuk menyampuk tu pon bole follow skali.
aku takde kawan lagi bagus drp kenal orang macam tu la.

sekian.

oo ye, why do i write this kind of rubbish in my blog?
sebab pompuan tu peminat setia blog ni okeh.
ai ada secret admirer a.k.a stalker you!
kelas nyahh!
wahahaha.

the second stroller.

2011-10-09T20:47:00.000+08:00

I'm sooo confuse mau beli yang mana.
Purple or brown?

Purple.
Brown.
Purple.
Brown.
Purple.
Brown.
Purple.
Brown.
Red.

aaaaaaaaaaa!

MacLaren Triumph 2011.
Purple and red is RM615.20 and brown is RM570.
Tu tempat paling murah aku survey la.

My sis beli yang kaler purple tu sangat cantek kat mata aku and veri d convenient sebab sangat ringan and bole lipat kecik jadi payung sangkut kat bahu.

Tapi tempat yang aku nak beli tu dah abih stok plak kaler purple & merah and bila tengok kat kedai lain, after less pun RM615.20.
Beza harga RM45.

Memang murahan yang coklat tu tapi better beli yang kita suke, kan walopon mahal sikit. Yang aku suka sbenarnya adalah merah tapi Hubby cakap carik yang nampak tak kotor sangat so mcm coklat je bunyinya kan.

My Combi stroller wujud lagi tapi nak beli baru sebab nak travel jauh2 susah.
Combi memang sangat best, bole lipat sebelah tangan, cantek, bole recline abih utk newborn babies, bole 2-way facing and veri ringan tapi besar gedabak so bila letak kat bonet tak muat pulak nak letak benda lain. Dah la aku ni kalo balik kg tu memang jenis mengangkut segala harta benda dalam lemari so tak mungkin la akan muat stroller gitu, kan.

'oh adakah maksudnya kena makai cik MPV skarang? hehe

I'm not letting go of this Combi sebab condition dia 99% like new sbb aku jaga barang dgn sgt cermat kan, and dia bole recline abih, Maclaren punya takleh, so bila ada little Zara & little Saif, mommy takyah beli stroller baru.

eh tetiba.

oo ye, purple or red or brown eh???
...

The downside of this MacLaren stoller is that it doesn't have a bumper bar.
Danish pulak jenis yg sgt suka la bergayut kat bumper bar tuh.
adoi ai.

Aqiqah - The souvenir

2011-10-04T15:10:00.000+08:00

We're gonna have our baby's aqiqah sumwhere in November!
yey!
hehe. terlebey excited suda.

Tapi macam the adrenaline pumping through my system.
Macam sangat excited nak pilih-pilih barang, deco2 for the event padahal bukan jemput sekampung pun. Takat orang2 masjid, adik-beradik and jiran keliling ni je...
and no, we're not gonna have it here in PG but for some reason, it will be held at Hubby's hometown.

Aku ok jek, no problemo.
Sebab my in-laws, sisters, brother semuanya adalah super best!
*oh oh sila jgn jeles =p

So, first thing first is to survey on the favors.
Dan ai sebagai omak telah memilih personalized yassin sebagai souvenir ye.
And of cos nak yang murahan tapi cantek kat mata aku.
cam dalam gambar ni.

RM5.50/printed on cover/with pouch & tag

RM5.00/hardcover/without pouch or tag

RM2.50/hot stamping gold or silver/without pouch or tag/free delivery

RM2.80/printed on cover/without pouch or tag
RM3.50/printed on cover/with box, ribbons and tag

RM2.80/printed on artpaper & balut cover/without pouch or tag
RM3.70/printed on cover/without pouch or tag

Rasa mcm nak bagi yassin je kot.
Letak dalam uncang, ikat dengan riben, kalau rajin buatla tag.
Sebab kalau bagi barang-barang lain mcm makanan or cupcakes plus blablabla, mcm sangat serabut je kan.

Yassin in a pouch will be just nice.
dan yang penting, berguna.

And tema adalah purple ye.
Sebab baju raya kami adalah sedondon purple and pearl grey.
Milih purple sebab macam lebih meriah.
Cuma omak kena carik tudung baru la ni ye nak.
Kot tak harus makai tudung sebijik bintang mcm dlm gambar nih =p

Yang baju pearl grey itu akan dipakai waktu Majlis Cukur Jambul my nephew merangkap cukur jambul nanish juger. Maksudnya, my little baby akan dipotong jambulnya pd 8hb ini yah.

Actually takmo terlibat dgn apa2 aktiviti cukur jambul but my sis-in-law adalah sangat insist, maka utk menjaga hati, join la sekaki ye nak. omak tak bermaksud pun nak cukur jambul ko lagi sbb dah sangat comel gini T_T

ok ok, will continue later.
mau mengepam susu utk cik nanish nih ^_^

this and that.

2011-09-24T16:44:00.000+08:00

This pict was taken last Tuesday during our visit to Puteri Specialist Hospital, JB.
Budak tecik telah demam.
So bercuti-cutian la cik mommy and papa layan si tecik ni kat rumah.

Demam2 pun sangat comel la budak tecik ni kan.
Walaupun tak tidur satu malam tapi dia tak nangih pun.
golek-golek-golek keliling katil.
Sehari-harian nak mommy dok dekat-dekat dgn dia, dukung2 dia nak manja2.
Kalau jauh skit mula la menjerit.

Takpe2 omak tak kesah sayang.
Time ni la nak dukung2 dia banyak-banyak, gomol2 dia tiap ari.
Baby kan cepat besar.
Nanti kang kejap je dah nak buat hal sendiri.
Dan tiba2 omak pun telah menjadi tua T____T

Anyway, sorry to those yg bertanya and dok email banyak2 tentang guestbook tapi order adalah ditutup sampai Emir umur 2 tahun a.k.a 2013 or sampai dia behave.
Sekarang adalah sgt tak behave ye.
Tak merangkak lagi tapi sangat ligat menjalar ke hulu ke hilir.
Bila org tanya nape ko kurus sangat nihhh? so akan automatik jawab, aku menat kejar si nanish ni haa.
ahaks.

Tapi memang tak terlarat aih.
ngan nak melayan dia, nak ngemas rumah, nak motong2 kertas, nak mendeco2, nak gam2 sume tuh. harus luka parah kalo dok berdampingan ngan omak yg bizi dikelilingi pisau and gunting nih.

So buat masa ni ai bercadang nak jual benda lain.
Yang lebih senang, best and praktikal.
My latest obsession... shawl and tudung!
Tapi silap haribulan kang abih sume aku rembat dok buat guna sendiri jek tak jadi jual kang. hehe.

And weekend ni ada Mom & Baby Expo 2011 kat Danga City Mall.
Family Hubby nak datang Sabtu ni so ai bercadang nak gi besok la kot.
Takpun pagi Sabtu.
Nak bawak nanish tapi cam leceh je nak bersesak2 sambil mengusung dia tu kan.
Hubby kena keje pulak tu.
takpe nanti mommy beli bola Ben10 utk nanish ye.

and yey! tadi dah dapat surat bonus!
alhamdulillah... ^_______^
so petang ni dah bole start gi survey2 yang itu2 ya papa?
heee~

the last celebration.

2011-09-21T02:20:00.001+08:00

So, this is me during Hari Raya celebration at my office.
ai yang hujung pakai baju pepel tu ye.
tetiba ada bintang ala2 makcik kat tepi tudung tu tapi beli jugak sebab susahnya nak carik tudung yg ok mengikut bentuk and kaler baju.

Anyway, effective 1st April 2012, we shall be joining another company so this might be the last raya gathering before pindah ke company baru.

agak sedeh di situ.

yela, walaupun baru 4 tahun lebih di sini tapi banyak tuu kenangan dgn company skarang.
Datang interview dulu dengan orang lain, kerja sini, jumpa Hubby, kawin, and tiba-tiba dah dapat anak sorang pun nih =p
So when this company was being sold to another GLC, mcm agak sedehlah.

By the way, time tu Dato' ada bg some gud news for us.
at least menggembirakan pd aku la.
There'll be some bonus for us by end of this month and some ex-gratia which will be paid after we joined the new company.

alhamdulillah... rezeki anak.

Dah cakap kat Hubby nak beli iPad tapi dia cakap, tunggu ujung bulan 10 la dia bagi hadiah besday.

eh terkejut tetiba.
hehe yey!
Agaknya letih dah dengar cik wifey dok sebut iPad tiap ari nih.
ahaks.

So maybe nak beli dining table baru sebab yang sekarang ni cuma muat utk 4 orang.
Maklumla dulu kan Hubby beli time baru kawin and duduk pulak apartment kecik so harusla beli serba-serbi berbajet pengantin baru kans. Tapi sekarang ni bila orang datang ramai2 mcm sgt kesian je nak hidang makanan kat meja kecik tu so harusla beli baru kan.

And of cos nak gi holiday sebab tahun ni tak jalan mana pun lagi.
Cakap kat Hubby nak gi Kuching/KK tapi macam leceh je nak bawak baby naik flight jauh2 tu kan. So, yang paling senang adalah gi Cameron or Langkawi or T'ganu je la... *mood pasrah*

Maybe nak beli cermin besar untuk letak kat hall, and nak belikan cermin besar gak untuk my parents' house. And nak cat feature wall kat family hall tingkat atas or letak wallpaper kalo ada bajet lebih. *ni terpengaruh ngan my sis-in-law la ni. hiks*

And save sikit utk besday present Hubby bulan 12 kang.
And also some savings utk masa2 sesak, kan.

oh oh verangan terlebih suda.
haha.

the sweetest thing.

2011-09-15T22:52:00.003+08:00

nanish wif Tok Abah.
papa is the one driving.
mommy of cos dok belakang.
on the way to see Nyai and Yai (means atuk & nenek in Java) @ BP.

ohhhh ai sgt suker video nih!
taken by my E63 henpon.
sangat comellll!
amik video nanish adalah acara wajib tiap minggu.
so that I won't miss setiap detik pembesaran si kecil kesayangans ineh ^_^

nanish nanish nanish, plis la grow up slowly.
mommy sgt tak puas ~~ngomol2~~ main2 ngan kamu nih!
sgt best tgk muka blur2-apehal? bila kena ngomol ngan mommy =p

oo ye.
ada orang jeles tengok aku bersenang-lenang mengadap PC gini weh.
I'm having my sweetest time setelah bertahun2 bersusah payah kat tmpt lama dulu soooo ada aku kesah ko nak jeles bagai?

Lagipun aku tak dapat bonus projek so sesapa yg dpt bonus projek kena la keja lebih, tak gitu kekawan?
Walaupun kat section lama dulu aku yang dok buat manhr tu sume sorang2 tapi org lain pulak yg dpt bonus, ye la... kalau dpt biar semua dpt, kalau tak dpt biar semua tak dapat, maka utk mengelakkan rasa kucewa harusla buat org lain terasa hati kanss.

wahaha. gelak syaiton jap.

oo heloooo? kalau orang tak start, aku tak ngutuk hokey.
so silalah cermin diri sendiri, jaga mulut, jaga kain, jaga laki sendiri baru nak muncung2 ngata orang lain.
eh ko ingat moncong ko cantek sangat?
and kalau nak mengata pun tak payah nak sampai kat telinga aku, kot tak memang free2 la aku ngutuk balik kat sini kans.
sebab aku tau ko baca blog nih.
muahahaha.

yg tak berkenaan tu sila jgn terasa oke.

sekian.

my first BB.

2011-09-14T08:42:00.005+08:00

ok dah beli pun blusher tu last Sunday.
It's Washed Rose Shimmer Blush from Bobbi Brown.
my first ever BB.

Long lasting and silky smooth as expected.
hoho puas hati aku.

Tengah nak bayar tu Hubby ckp, 'laa beli blusher je? lipstick sume ada lagi tak?
amik la yg lain skali.

Aku : eh?

Hubby : cyg amik la eyeshadow skali.

ai pun hape lagi kan.
of cos lonjak2 gumbira.
haha.

That girl put the Black Velvet eyeshadow on me sebab aku ckp aku nak something smokey but easy to wear, and when I try it, oh my... memang best gila!

tiba-tiba buat makeover eh. tiba2 terlupa nanish ngan papa dia dok nunggu kat tempat kasut nuu berdua-duaan.

eh?

haha.

Tapi that eyeshadow mmg sangat senang nak pakai, super gorgeous, buttery smooth, and long lasting juger. It looks soo glittery tapi yg sebenarnya tak pun. Walaupun tepek2 guna jari oleh org yang jarang pakai mekap nih tapi lansung tak comot.
*tetiba terpromote eh*

Review about this eyeshadow :
• http://pleasureflush.blogspot.com
• http://www.makeupalley.com
• http://www.beautygala.com/
• http://www.temptalia.com
• http://www.musingsofamuse.com

This kind of smokey eyeshadow tak mungkin la pakai buat gi opis.
Kang orang cakap over pulok kan.
Tapi sangat cantekkk!

That blusher is RM85 and eyeshadow is RM80.

I'm not the type who wears makeups all d time.
Nak gi keje, tepek2 bedak, pakai lipstik and blusher pun sume dlm kete time traffic light kaler merah.

Jangan harapla nak bersolek kat rumah.
Nak prepare cik nanish, nak sterilize botol2 dia, nak carik2 baju utk diri sendiri, etc etc.

Tak mungkin akan bangun lebih awal dari biasa utk bermekap.
Tudung ni pun lilit2 dalam kete time nak gi opis.
Sebab tu aku cakap, kalau beli makeup, dekat setahun baru abih.
Tapi nape ntah, lately sangat teruja utk pakai this mekaupy things.
Sangat excited membaca review which eyeshadow is good, which eyeliner suits u, so on and so on.

Sejak aku bertudung.

Hubby cakap, 'eh takpe la, lagi bagus. jangan macam org lain dah beranak-pinak malas nak jaga diri.

oh ok.

so, macam telah beri green light utk beli lebih2 ni ye Hubby?
eh.

Kehendak : Blusher & iPad 2

2011-09-11T10:16:00.000+08:00

I need a new blusher.
Sebab yang lama dah abih bersih.
Revlon Beyond Natural blusher + bronzer bought at RM50++ last year.
Tinggal bronzer je.
I love that blusher sebab ada bronzer skali and nampak blend je dengan kulit aku yg gelap ni kan.

Tapi macam takde jual dah.
Limited edition gaknya.
Blusher Revlon yang biasa tu aku tak suka sangat.
Sama la ngan IN2IT, Elianto and Silkygirl.
Sangat tak sesuai dgn kulit aku.
Tak tahan lama pulak tu.

And macam nak try MAC sebab baca review ramai cakap best and long lasting.
Price pun tak mahal sangat.
RM85++
Aku guna blusher pun dekat setahun baru abih so berbaloi la kot.
Tapi mcm tak berkilat.
Aku suka yg ala2 shimmering tu.
Kalau pakai baru la naik seri kanss?

And bila baca review pasal Bobbi Brown Shimmer Blush ni pun ramai ckp ok.
RM80++
So macam telah terpikat.

Ada kaunter dia kat JJ Tebrau nuu.
MAC pun kat JJ Tebrau.
Tapi ntah ye.
Kulit aku kan ala2 tanned gitu.
So Bobbi Brown mcm lebih sesuai kot... kan?
or Stila ke? *ada kat M'sia lagi tak eh?*
or Body Shop?
or Max Creation? *tak ingat nama sbenar tapi blusher dia mmg cantek jugak*
or Stage?

'anyone?
...

Weekend ni Hubby ngajak soping jeans sebab dia ckp mood bersoping dia baru datang sebab time raya aritu kaki dia tempang so takde mood nak soping so ai ngan dak tecik harus la ngikut sambil membeli-belah cik blusher jugak.

and I want this thing.
I really really really want this thing.
iPad 2 yang veri d gorgeous.
Bukan keperluan pun tapi lepas guna my sis punya aritu maka telah jatuh hati on d spot.
Cepat2 bagitau Hubby akan kebaikkan benda alah ni.
Tak sangka pulak dia setuju.
Maka cik bonus, cepatla masuk =p =p =p

'ohhh napela banyak sangat kehendak pompuan nihhh
*sigh*

the new chapter.

2011-09-08T08:13:00.000+08:00

mula2 elok je beg McD tu kat sebelah dia. tak perasan lagi tu gaknya

tetiba, eh apetu? macam best je mama?
*sebelah tgn dok pegang toys dia lagik tuh*

yey dapat capai akhirnya =p
*siap guna kaki you!*

rupanya sangat sedap ye beg ni mama. hiks

pict was taken 2 mths ago, when he was 5 mths old.
and today, si cerdik ineh telah 7 bulan 1 minggu usianya.
my oh my, how time flies!

And today marks another big chapter in my life.
It is officially Day 1 of full-time hijab dengan perasaan sukarela-datang-dari-hati.
yes, I'm doing it.
I'm finally doing it!!

I know I might have been a hypocrite, and as much as I tried denying it, I could not.
It sank in and I accepted it and prayed that I will find the right way.
My conscience was not dead, but I had muted it.
Before, I used to get the urge to start hijab, yet I used to fight it.
I'm so used to wearing leggins, having the fanciest hair styles, new hair cut, dying my hair regularly, short tops, etc but I have to give it all up so that means a whole new identity for me.

and of course, a whole new wardrobe =p =p

I've had my time, I have enjoyed life tremendously, tasted the sweetest and the most sour and finally here I am.

I woke up this morning with a determination, like I felt ready to do this at last.
And if other people don't like it, I don't care, because in the end no one has been forcing it on me, this is my decision, supported by dearest hubby, and I am so so so glad that I have finally dug down deep and decided to do it.

At the same time though, I'm still like, shaking.
I'm nervous about what others might think.
But this is what I want.
This is what I'm suppose to do.

Dan sebenarnya, bila betul2 telah bersedia utk berhijab permanently, bukan sekadar mengikut-ikut, maka rasa gembira akan datang sendiri and it was like, relieved that I'm finally doing this.

yes, I really feel good about myself right now.

and of course Hubby is the happiest person ^_^

no, I might not be completed yet, but I'm getting there.
we're getting there.
insha' allah.

Salam Aidilfitri 2011

2011-09-05T19:50:00.000+08:00

Akhirnya dapat tepek gambar bertiga kami, encik Hubby plus cik baby yg veri d comelness.

owhh sangat best ye perasaan beraya pertama kali bertiga ^_^
bak kata Hubby waktu on d way balik semula ke sini semalam, 'hidup macam dah sangat complete bila ada wifey tersayang and baby di sebelah.

hihi.

So, sempena hari raya ini mau ngucapkan Salam Aidilfitri buat semua.
Jemput la datang rumah tapi call/sms dulu ya ^_^

the bedroom set.

2011-08-24T01:12:00.000+08:00

Last few days, akhirnya dah sampai pun our new bedroom set.
Beli time Homedec 2011 aritu.
Tak termasuk dalam list keperluan/kehendak pun sebab kami memang dah ada bedroom set yang beli time kawin dulu.

Tapi bila jalan2 kat Homedec, tak mungkin la tak angkut apa2 kan.
Cadangnya cuma mau beli ampai stainless steel yang melekat kat dinding tu.
6.5 kaki berharga RM78 je okeh.
Gila murahan!
Tapi terangkut barang lain yg beribu2 lemon pulak T_T

Dahla time tu aku tak bawak stroller.
Tak bawak baby carrier juger.
Maka telah mendukung budak tecik guna tulang empat kerat hokey.
Macam angkut beras seberat 7.4 kg ye.
eh tapi rasa mcm slalu jek dok angkut budak tecik ni secara camtu kan.

Hubby tunggu kat kete sebab kaki dia baru lepas operation so takleh jln lagi.
So berpoya2 la kami dua beranak kat Homedec ittew.

Bajet cuma nak masuk 10, 15 minit je kat dalam tu sebab takkan nak biar Hubby tunggu lama2 kan. Tapi bila dah masuk, dah alang2 tu kena la round satu dewan. Kot ada benda best, boleh beli time Homefair bln 10 nanti kan =p

Then nak keluar, kena ikut escalator, kena lalu dewan bawah.
Bila dah lalu tu, TERnampak pulak satu wardrobe yang cantek.
Saja2 tengok, ntah nape tiba2 terpikir, wardrobe kat rumah tu memang dah takleh pakai sebab tumbuh putih2 mcm cendawan.
Aku anak beranak memang dah ban barang CAVENZI ni sejak almari aku tu jadi camtu.
Rak kasut dia pun baru guna sebulan dah cam rosak plak pintu tu.
Memang ban 100% la!
Barang CAVENZI memang totally tak boleh pakai oke.
TOTALLY!!

Anyway, lepas nampak benda cantek tu and tgh dia dok explain kat aku, salesgirl dia plak dah offer nak dukung Danish, bagi dia golek2 atas tilam empuk, jadi model kat situ jap, omak pun bersuka ria la tanya itu ini, survey apa yang patut.

Tengok2 je la, tak rasa nak beli pun.
Tiba2 dia bagi diskaun lagi.
oh my oh my oh my.
Terus call En Hubby.
Tak rasa pun Hubby akan cakap ok sebab selalunya dia mesti suruh tunggu dia kalau nak beli anything berkaitan rumah.
So bila dia cakap ok tu mcm, eh?
hehe.
For the first time dlm taun nih, Hubby telah cakap, 'ok, terpulang pd cyg. kalau cyg rasa cantek beli je. lagipun almari kita dah takleh pakai tu.

So ai pun apa lagi, terus memilih2 design and membook on d spot la kan.
TERnampak terus TERbeli T_T

Aku nak kaler putih tapi bila pikir2 balik, white color cepat pudar.
Lebih2 lagi leather gini.
Takut cepat jadi kuning kan so I choose dark brown.
Tapi lepas book tu, jalan2 lagi, ternampak satu bedroom set yang super duper vouge kaler hitam. Beza RM600 je ngan set yg aku beli tu... nak nyesal pun ada tapi sebab dah bayar deposit kan so pasrah je la...
Yang aku pilih tu pun cantek juger cuma aluminium frame dia tu cam tak berapa nak matching ngan cermin kaler copper.
hum hum.

Setelah berjalan-jalan gitu penyudahnya 3 jam aku dok kat Homedec tu hokey.
Keras kejung tangan ni dok mendukung cik nanish.

sangat comel dia pakai topi nih.

walopon topi dah nak tutup mata tapi sangat gembira main2 ngan cik Logan.

see? memang dah tutup mata abih pun tapi still rileks je dak tecik ni main. kalo budak lain mesti dah bising2 rimas. ahaks

Aku rasa anak aku memang kaki jalan la sebab dia tak penah nangih kalau aku dok bawak dia jalan mana2 pun.

Ingat tak dulu2 waktu before kawin aku penah pegi 6 shopping complex sorang-sorang lepas balik keje dari pukul 6 sampai 12 mlm.
And time aku tau aku preknen pun time tgh jalan ngan my brother kat IKEA.
Time tu memang aku demam tak larat lansung tapi sebab nak gi IKEA gagahkan jugak kaki.
Balik tu memang flat gila and at that time memang aku dah rasa mmg preknen ni...
So tak heranla if nanish sangat gembira ikut omak berjalan2 ke sana kumari kan.
hehe.

Puasa @ Day 18

2011-08-20T11:29:00.000+08:00

hehe nampak tak?
voucher Giant from Dumex.
Aku join the Dumex Club so they gave it to me during Mother's day promo tu.
Dah guna buat beli Huggies Dry Comfort pun time sale aritu.
RM27 for a jumbo pack.
murahan sgt kan?
Nak tunggu Mamy Poko jadi RM41 cam dulu2 tu ntah bila la.
...

Semalam kami berbuka puasa di Amansari Residence Resort.
Ada orang belanja.
Buffet dia not bad la... variety.
The sate is good.
Garing.
Sambal udang petai dia pun sedap.
Kerabu and rojak buah pun ok.
Cuma nasi tak berapa sangat.
And mi rebus lansung tak sedap.

Balik kerja tu amik Hubby kat hospital, tukar baju, terus la gerak ke sana.
yep, my Hubby is still warded tapi of cos akan gigih mengekor daku ke mana sahaja.

Aku baru nak iron seluar coklat yang dipakai waktu sebelum kawin dulu.
Berbulan2 tak pernah pakai sebab baru jumpa ~~dalam longgokan kain~~ and sebab rasa macam baru nak muat.

Dalam longgokan kain sebab we just bought a new wardrobe so telah kosongkan almari lama and sementara nak ngemas2 balik tu, longgok la semua2 kat bilik sebelah.
Nak pakai baru la menyelak selai2 =p

Baru nak sarung Hubby cakap, 'muat lagi ke cyg seluar tu? hehe...
hamboih perli nampaknyeh.
Tapi aku sarung jugakla sebab seluar lain sume tengah basuh.
Tapi saspen jugak mana tau kot mmg nampak macam nangka bungkus ke kan.
Tu yang pastu aku jalan depan Hubby nanya dia, 'hubby, nampak sempit ke suar ni? kalo sempit cyg tukar lain.
Pastu Hubby cakap, 'yela yela tak sempit pun... dah kurus la tu.
yey! akhirnya Hubby mengaku =p =p

Tapi berat aku memang dah turun pun walopon tiap ari makan ngan dasat and mesti mkn nasik time sahur sebab nak maintain susu badan kan.

So, after 18 days of fasting and 6 months of breastfeeding, I finally get my old weight yang 49 kg ittew!
lalala~

Arini Hubby ada buka pose kat Ponderosa Golf and Country Club tapi rasanya dia malas nak pegi dengan bertongkat2 gitu.
Lagipun Ilot nak anto kuih malam ni.
Last year pernah buka kat sana mmg sangat sedap.
Teringat lagi sampai sekarang tapi sangat jauhla kat JB nuu.
And budak tecik comei ni memang susah nak diusung ke mana-mana Maghrib2 gitu.
Semalam pun tak senang aku nak makan sebab asyik mengamuk je sebab mmg time dia tido, kan.

Kesimpulannya adalah kalau nak makan kat luar mesti tunggu nanish besar sikit kot.
Takpun gi makan waktu siang je senang.

oo ye, besok ada Jcard Members' Fiesta kat JJ Permas.
walopon belum gaji and tak dapat monus bln ni tapi nak pegi juger sebab nak beli cadar baru for our new king-sized bed. hehe.

and nak pegi jugak sebab minggu ni adalah last soping sebelum raya.
Hopefully Mamy Poko pun sale juger.
Stok kat umah tinggal 2 beg je nih.
Tu pun saiz L.
Danish pakai saiz M lagi nih.
Semalam tengok kat Tesco still RM44.

'oo rupanya nex week dah nak raye ye. huhu...

keperluan dan kehendak.

2011-08-11T22:57:00.000+08:00

Orang lain sibuk berBBM, berFacebook bagai, aku rileks je dengan E63 kat tangan.
Amik gambar guna tu, bersms guna tu, notebook itu, alarm clock pun guna tu.
Gambar2 dari hepon tu la yg aku dok uplod kat blog nih.
cantek je aku rasa.
Gambar Danish lahir, gambar dia membesar, gambar berdua, bertiga, semuanyalah.
Sejak kamera aku hilang waktu pindah rumah tahun lepas.

Tak pernah terlintas, teringin pun menatang BB nih.
Sebab new hp is, has and will always be the last thing on my list.
Selagi tak rosak jangan harapla aku nak tukar baru.

And tiba-tiba, last few weeks, henpon aku jem.

Tak rosak pun cuma maybe sebab memory dah terlampau full sebab penuh dengan video cik nanish maka henpon jadi hang lama2.
Dah buang banyak video dan gambar2 tapi masih hang juga.
Maybe dia kecik ati aku dok tengok2 henpon baru orang lain gaknya.
Maklumla, di kanan, depan, belakang semuanya bertukar henpon baru yang serba canggih manggih kan. Nak tanak, mata tutup2 tertengok jugak kan =p

And tup2 gitu, tiba-tiba rasa BB Bold adalah sangat cantek.
Dan BB Torch adalah anggun menawan.
T_T

I don't want any iPhone.
or Android.
or any of those Galaxy Tab.
Aku cuma mahu hp yg punya qwerty keypad, yang ada semua important function, yang mudah dan senang diguna. Macam E63 yang ineh.
no need for the touch screen whatsoever.
Sebab jari2 yg ngemuk nih mesti akan selalu tersalah tekan waktu cemas2 gitu.

Then tadi tiba2 bila cek bil kat website Digi, nampak promo BB Torch 9800 dari RM2199 menjadi RM1399 je okeh.

Dan BB Bold 9780 dari RM1799 menjadi RM999 sahaja.

Tiba-tiba terus teringin.
Maklum la azam tahun ini yang kamera DSLR itu dah tercapai kans.
So harus la ai carik sebab untuk pasang azam baru =p
Ada azam, baru la ada semangat nak ngumpul duit kan =p =p
...

Anyway, sape tau kat mana nak dapat ice cube tray with lid kat area JB nih??
Menat tau aku pusing2 satu Tesco Seri Alam, Giant Plentong, sume tak jumpa.
Ilot cakap ada jual kat Giant tapi nan ado pon.
Crystalmerah ckp ada jual kat Tupperware so aku tengok la kat katalog.
ada memang ada.
cantek... tapinya, gila mahal okeh.
lebih mahal dari Baby Cubes nih.

Aku ada beli Baby Cubes gak tapi mkn space yg sgt byk dlm fridge aku yg comei tuh.
Sebab tu ingat nak letak puree dlm ice cubes sajer.

adoi ai. mana la nak carik ice cube tray with lid yang murahan nihhh?

Breastfeeding : Yang aku makan

2011-08-06T10:22:00.000+08:00

When I get back to work, lots of people kept asking me, apa yang aku makan, utk breastfeed and utk kurus.

no, I'm not that kurus and I didn't even get my pre-wedding weight yg 49 kg itu.
Aku cuma berjaya dapatkan my after-wedding weight (50 kg) plus 3 that is 53 kg.
I'm happy, and I'm glad that Hubby is happy with it =p

For your info, I gained 24 kg sepanjang pregnant.
50 kg to 74 kg.
'gile melampau la kan.

and aku malas nak ulang cerita macam mana aku boleh dapat my almost-old-weight again sebab boleh search kat box sebelah tu.

Yang aku mau cerita adalah tentang apa yang aku makan untuk mendapatkan susu yang alhamdulillah, cukup untuk cik baby.

Time pantang, of cos mak aku masak lobak putih and sawi putih, buat sup.
sedap je kat tekak aku, macam makan sup sayur biasa.
And aku minum air horlicks.
Sebenarnya aku lebih byk makan serbuk horlicks tu drp minum sebab lagi sedap kan.
Teori aku adalah makan horlicks pastu bila cam ala2 tersekat kat tekak tu ko minum la air masak so jadi la air horlicks yg sihat tanpa susu pekat manis. hihi.

And then lepas naik keje, aku malas nak ~~makan~~ buat horlicks sebab tak sempat kan.
Tapi aku beli brekfes nasi daging merah kat makcik tepi jalan tu.
or nasi lauk rendang kerang.
And kalau tak sempat beli brekfes, aku makan cornflakes sambil minum air milo dalam tin yg sejuk2 tu.

huuu~ sedap!

And aku perasan each time aku makan either one of them, tiap kali perah susu pukul 10 pg tu, insya allah akan dapat 8, 9 oz. Dan kalau aku tak makan those things, biasanya akan dapat 5, 6 oz sahaja sekali pam.

Dan setelah 6 bulan menjalankan aktiviti breastfeeding ineh, telah confirm yg benda2 tu je la yang akan membanyakkan susu aku.

And if aku makan benda2 lain macam nasi lemak ke, roti ke, pengeluaran susu adalah normal, dalam 5, 6 oz sekali pam. If pagi2 tu aku brekfes mi halus, pengeluaran susu akan totally merundum, nasib tak baik akan dpt 3 oz je ye.

So harus la makan vitamin Shaklee tu...
Kalau tak mesti susu aku cair.
The result memang best la cumanya tekak aku macam tak berapa nak telan pil banyak2 camtu. Aku beli trial pack Shaklee RM80 from my ex-classmate time MMU dulu, Ida Khairani. So, kalau ada sesiapa interested, boleh la beli dgn dia ye.

As for me, sekarang aku continue makan pil Supradyn and Phytonatal from Nona Roguy.
Vitamin Supradyn tu aku memang makan sejak dulu lagi sebab Abah aku paksa makan utk kesihatan badan. My Abah ni memang jenis yang sangat2 mementingkan pemakanan dan kesihatan, sebab dia memang kerja field tu kan. That's why he's very particular about this kind of thing.

Dan alhamdulillah, memang sesuai la dengan badan aku sebab hilangkan letih and stress and dalam masa yang sama membanyakkan susu badan. I bought this vitamin from Guardian pharmacy.

Aku makan selang-seli.
Kalau hari ni aku makan Supradyn 1 biji, esok makan Phytonatal 2 biji.
Phytonatal tu aku tak makan tiap hari sebab memang sakit perut memulas tuu tiap kali nak membuang. And boleh cirit birit kalau terlebih makan. Tapi pastu badan rasa best la sebab dah membuang segala toksik, kan. And Hubby suka aku makan tu sebab dia ckp lebih 'best' dari sebelum preknen dulu so for me it's good utk hubungan suami isteri, if u know what I mean la kan. haha.

Sampai sekarang aku maintain makan Phytonatal tu dan alhamdulillah, berat aku turun tapi my hubby cakap takyah kurus2 sgt, dia suka ngan keadaan yg sekarang ni so ok la... maintain je kan.

so, that's all for now.
Ada banyak lagi yang aku nak kongsi tentang breastfeeding ni tapi of cos tunggu ada mood la baru boleh bercerita panjang ye.

Ni gambar Danish time tgh demam aritu.
Demam2 pun gigih la dia dok main cik Logan kesayangan tuh.
Toys Lamaze ni best la.
Colorful and bagus utk perkembangan otak baby.
Danish dah ada dua Lamaze toys.
One was given by my sis and another one is My Kitty aku beli time sale aritu.

the hair.

2011-07-29T09:09:00.000+08:00

Last month aku buat digital perm.
Sebelum Hubby balik dari offshore tu la.
Sebab rambut adalah sangat menggerbang.
Maklum la ai kan omak beranak satu.
And ada budak opis dah tegur, nape aku telah menjadi kusut masai sekarang.
maka terus berasa kecik ati. haha.
Tu belum anak 2, 3 dan seterusnya kan.
Bukan setakat menggerbang, dah berguguran satu persatu jatuh ke bumi gaknya tuh.

Mula2 was-was jugak la nak buat sebab takut effect pada baby.
Sebab my baby is still fully breastfeed lagi.
Tapi bila pikir2 balik, kalau aku tak buat, memang berterbangan di awang-awangan la rambut aku ni kan. Lagipun time tu baby dah 5 bln so aku rasa dia dah agak kuat utk menepis serangan bahan kimia yg mak dia sibuk nak guna utk rambut ni kan.
Ye la, kalau aku tak buat kang laki aku balik rumah kang dia ingat pompuan mana pulak rambut cam singa ni kan.

So hari Isnin tu lepas hantar anak ke nursery, bergegas ke salon utk memperbaiki apa yg patut. Aku nak buat permanent wave sajer tapi dia gi buat half perm pulak.
Nasib baik ok gak.
So tak payah la aku sesusah nak sikat rambut tiap kali nak gi keje.

Tapi sebab aku malas nak letak minyak and my baby dok tarik-tarik rambut je tiap kali dukung maka rambut telah jadi menggerbang balik T_T
Hubby dah sengih2 cakap, 'tu Emir nak ingatkan mama suh pakai tudung la tu mama... haha T_T

something good is going to happen soon. insha'allah... ^_^

Are hair treatment chemicals dangerous during pregnancy?
Manufacturers frequently change formulas and many different chemicals are used in these processes. These chemicals are not generally evaluated for effects on pregnancy so limited data on use during pregnancy is available.

It is likely that only a small amount of any hair treatment chemicals are actually absorbed into a woman’s system through her skin. This minimal amount is not thought to be enough to create a problem for the baby. The fixation solution used during permanents may irritate the scalp but not affect other areas of the body and a minimal amount would be absorbed. The same would be true of chemicals used in the straightening process.

Are hair dyes safe during pregnancy?
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), hair dyes are probably safe to use during pregnancy because so little dye is absorbed through the skin. However, it is still important to be cautious, therefore many health care providers recommend that pregnant women not use permanent hair dyes during the first three months.

While the absorption through the skin is minimal, the concern is that breathing fumes during the process could be harmful to the developing baby. Permanent hair dyes contain ammonia which has a strong chemical fume. The recommendation is to avoid hair dyes that contain ammonia. The chemical fume warning also applies to straightening products as well.

Semi-permanent dyes or a highlighting process may be considered safer for pregnant women. With highlights, the dye is enclosed in foil and won’t be absorbed into the skin. Vegetable dyes such as henna are also considered likely to be safe for coloring hair during pregnancy.

What precautions should I take when chemically treating my hair?
The following safety tips should be followed when chemically treating your hair:
• Consider waiting until the second trimester for hair dye, bleaching, permanents or straightening.
• Have the treatment completed in a well-ventilated area.
• Don’t leave the chemicals on your head any longer than necessary.
• Rinse your scalp thoroughly with water after treatment.
• Wear gloves when applying chemicals.
• Carefully follow directions on the product package.
• Do a patch test for allergic reactions before completing the process
• Never dye or bleach eyebrows or eyelashes. This could cause swelling or increase risk of infection in the eye area.

What if I work as a cosmetologist and am pregnant?
The risks during pregnancy come from working conditions, number of hours worked and exposure to the chemicals used in treating hair. Studies show that because of improved dye formulas and better working conditions, fewer risks are associated with this type of work.

Proper working conditions are important. These include working in a well-ventilated area, wearing protective gloves and not eating or drinking in the work area. These precautions reduce the exposure to hair treatment chemicals.

Is it safe to have hair treatments while I breastfeed?
It is unlikely that any chemicals would enter the breast milk because so little is absorbed through the skin.

Breastfeeding : Kembali bekerja

2011-07-27T07:50:00.001+08:00

Setelah dua bulan bercuti-cutian yang sangat indah di rumah, dengan langkah longlai terpaksa kembali semula ke office.
Dah la Hubby kena pegi offshore time aku dalam pantang tu.
Sangat sedeh ok nguruskan semuanya sendiri.
*down*

And mau neruskan dengan breastfeed lagi.
Kalau takde support memang susah...
sangat-sangat susah.

Tapi jangan salah anggap pulak.
As I said before, when u finally got the right technique, breastfeeding akan jadi suatu aktiviti yang sangat2 menyeronokkan ^_^

Tapinya, again as I said before, mesti ada semangat yang betul2 kuat utk bf your baby. Sebabnya, bila ko nak pam susu tapi husben takde, siapa nak jaga baby?
Nanti jadi mcm encik nanish kat bawah ni.

aku sibuk mengepam, dia sibukla jerit2 nak dekat ngan mommy gak. mesti dia pelik nape mommy tak layan dia pastu ada botol wayar2 kat nenen dia tu. haha

tengok tuu. memula dok jauh, makin lama makin dekat, last2 dok kat pangku mommy nak makan botol tu ha...

The early stage aritu it takes about half an hour to one hour utk dpt sebotol susu (5 oz).
Dah la penat2 mengepam, nak ngemas rumah, nak sidai baju, memasak, kalau husben tak tolong tu, pehhhh memang bole jadi gaduh la. ahaks

Tapi aku tak ngalami aktiviti pergaduhan la sebab Hubby kan pergi offshore time aku dalam pantang tu, so nak tanak memang totally kena buat semuanya sendiri T_T
Sehari pun dapat call sekali je and by the time dia call tu aku tgh main2 ngan baby so sakit ati pun dah ilang. haha.

Before going back to work, dah siap2 packing barang utk bf.
Cooler bag, ice pack, pam susu and air mesh bag utk isi storage bottle and corong pam.

Tak la banyak mana pun, and aku letak everything dalam satu beg biasa je.
The first thing in the morning adalah sterilize barang2 utk breastfeed; 6 storage bottle, corong pam and the membrane.

Tiub tak payah la disterilize and better jangan dibasuh pun sebab kalau masuk je air dalam pam tu of cos akan rosak.
Aku lansung tak pernah basuh sejak beli.
Lagipun kalau simpan elok2 tak berabuk pun tiub tu.

Tiap kali ke opis akan bwk 2 beg; satu handbag and satu beg utk bf.
Aku tak beli beg yg betul2 designated utk letak pam sebab aku rasa beg tu besar sgt. Macam leceh je nak angkut beg besar2 tu gi opis kan. Yang aku dok bwk 2 beg ni pun ada yang tegur aku, 'ko bwk beg besar2 macam nak gi piknik.
haha T_T

And aku start pam susu 4 days before naik keje.
Cukup-cukup dapat 4 botol 1.5 - 2.5 oz.
Sikit gila sebab aku pam sebelah2 sebab aku tak reti nak double pumping.
Bila pegang dua2 tangan serentak mcm sangat penat.
Tu pun paksa diri gak utk pam sebab nak hantar anak pegi babysitter kan.
Kalau ikutkan malas + penat memang 1st day tu aku bagi susu formula je la.

Pukul 5 pagi aku dah bangun ye.
Ngemas2 barang, pam susu, bersiap semua la.
And kena bangun before encik baby bangun.
Sekarang dah senang sikit la sebab papa dia ada.
So jangan harapla aku nak bangun pukul 5 dah.
Pukul 6.30 baru jam loceng bunyi.
So, on the first day tu, after a veri hectic morning nguruskan si kecil comel without the papa, aku pun pegi la ke opis dengan perasaan yang tak berapa best.

And the first pumping session adalah pd pukul 10 pg.
Breast memang dah bengkak + keras gila sebab time cuti kan anak aku dok mengempeng je tiap jam so bila kat opis, pengeluaran adalah melebihi permintaan, tu yang dapat perah banyak.

Aku pam kat surau.
Sebabnya, opis aku yg gila besar ni takde nursing room hokey.
gila kedekut!
Nak request for nursing room tu kena buat memorandum bagai.
Memang banyak kerenah la.
Yang pelik tu, big boss yang lelaki tu dah approve, yang pompuan ni pulak cakap berpusing2. Banyak sangat talam bermuka2 nih.
Penyudahnya aku pam kat surau je lagi senang.
Lantak la orang nak pandang senget benget ke aku pedulik hapa kan.

And first time pam pg tu dapat 9 oz.
Terkejut okeh.
and sangat hepi!
Sebabnya, before this aku pam cuma dapat 1, 2 oz je.
sebab aku pam sebelah baru pam sebelah lagi.
sebab dulu aku tak reti double pumping, tapi ni dah terer dah =p

Time sesi mengepam beramai2 tu, my fren ajar la cara double pumping.
Tak susah pun.
Duduk bersila, bongkok skit and selit je corong kat celah2 bra tu pastu letak botol atas peha. Kalau duduk atas kerusi pun boleh tapi aku biasa pam bersila.

And sila la pakai nursing bra ye.
Kalau pakai bra biasa memang susah la...
And awal2 pam ni, jangan la pakai yang wired.
Sebabnya, wired bra boleh menyebabkan saluran susu tersumbat.
seksa ye kalau tersumbat yang berketul2 tuh.

Aku beli nursing bra ni kat FM sebab situ je yg ada jual jenis yg aku selesa pakai.
Brand lain pun ada jual jugak tapi aku tak suka.

So after the 1st session at 10 am, 2nd session is at 1 pm, 3rd session at 5 pm, 4th session bila dah balik rumah dalam pukul 10 mlm tu. And each session took about 20mins depends pd pengeluaran susu masing2. Kalau aku, time dlm pantang dulu pam sejam pun belum tentu dpt 2 oz tu.

And aku mengepam kat opis and kat rumah 3 or 4 kali je ye.
Tak mungkin la larat nak bangun tgh2 malam nak pam susu.
Tapi alhamdulillah 6, 7 botol tu cukup buat hantar ke nursery esok harinya.
Tapi tak dapat buat stok la sebab time weekend aku malas nak pam.

And after mengepam, biarkan susu kat luar (room temperature) dlm 20mins then simpan dalam fridge kat opis. Nak balik rumah, letak ice pack dlm cooler bag and letak susu dalam tu.

So, itulah cara2 aku mengepam kat opis setelah kembali bekerja.

It's been 6 months now and I'm going strong ^_^
'eh rupanya lagi 3 hari nanish nak start makan secara wajib dah.
yey!

my son yang debab gebu hasil minum susu mommy =p

Breastfeeding and pumping takes a lot of hard work and dedication and to be honest, is not for every one.

Aku adalah seorang full time working mother and I'm proud to be one of those lucky ones ^_^ ^_^

And I've been breastfeeding happily ^_^
Tatap wajah si anak time bf tu adalah sangat best hokey.
And again, despite all the obstacles, janganlah sesekali menidakkan rezeki yang Allah bagi utk anak kita tu ye ^_^

Tips for Happy Breastfeeding
by Melanie Waxman

1. When it comes to breastfeeding, the most important thing you can do for yourself and your baby is to REST.
Resting allows for your body to produce nourishing breast milk. Often we feel a huge surge of energy after our baby is born. However, this energy is created to help the contraction of the uterus and to re-gain inner strength and vitality. If you use up your energy by rushing around, you will have little left for you or your baby. If you are tired, your baby will be fussy and demanding. Rest as much as you can for the first six weeks. I stayed in bed for two weeks after each baby. I know this made a huge difference to how I felt on all levels, emotionally, physically and mentally. I also had plenty of milk and my babies were able to adjust to life on earth in a calm, peaceful manner.

2. Stress and worry can also cause your milk to dry up or become acidic.
If your milk is acidic, it can give your baby colic and make him difficult. If you are stressed and tired, your milk becomes thinner and less satisfying for your baby. Make sure you take time to relax, sit or walk outside in nature. The freshness of trees, grass and flowers actually help you to feel uplifted and are a great stress relief. If you are worrying about your baby, make sure to contact other mothers for support.

3. Many women suffer from sore nipples when they first start breastfeeding.
Watch your diet and avoid eating salty, oily or hard, dry baked foods such as chips, cookies or toast. The juice of finely grated carrot is very helpful for soothing painful nipples. Rub a little over the them before nursing. I only experienced sore nipples with one child and it was extremely painful. I found that using a small amount of almond oil after the baby has nursed made a difference. Rubbing a little breast milk around the nipples can also help relieve soreness.

Make an effort to toughen up your nipples before you have the baby by rubbing them briskly with a dry, coarse towel and then softening the area with a little almond oil. Another good idea is to change the position in which you nurse at every feeding. This puts the pressure of the baby's gums on a different spot each time. Try to nurse more often, but for shorter lengths of time. If you go longer between feedings, the baby will be hungrier and nurse too hard and make your breasts even sorer.

4. When nursing at night, burp the baby well otherwise, he will wake up again quickly.
Keep him well wrapped so he won't notice the temperature change when you put him back in his crib. Often the breasts leak at the early stages of breastfeeding. Place a towel on your side of the bed to prevent staining. I used to wear a bra to bed during the early months because it felt more comfortable. Some women like to drape a cotton cloth over their breasts instead. Breastfeed babies are all different, some sleep through the night at an early age and many continue to nurse through the night for a few months. It will be easier for your baby to get on a routine if you have a routine in your daily life.

5. Certain foods help to make your milk rich and nourishing.
However, eating oily/greasy foods can make your milk too rich and effect your baby's digestion causing him to spit up often Mochi,, which is made from pounded, sweet brown rice, is very good for producing nourishing milk. Mochi is purchased in cake form and can be fried, steamed or added to soup. Mild miso soup with tofu, onions, shiitake and lots of greens is also beneficial. Creamy soups made from sweet vegetables such as onions, carrots, squash or sweet potato are very nourishing too. A wide variety of organic, natural foods are recommended during breastfeeding. Use fresh vegetables, whole grains, beans, sea vegetables, fish and fruit. Try eating different foods, one at a time, to see how your baby reacts to them. If something really makes him fussy and uncomfortable, don't eat it for a couple of weeks. As his digestive system matures, he can handle much more.

6. Many women suffer from engorged breasts when their milk first comes in.
This can be very uncomfortable and is quickly relieved as the baby nurses. Try to nurse every two hours to help relieve the discomfort. A warm shower can help too. An old remedy that works very well is lining your bra with cold cabbage leaves. Remove the central stem and cut a hole for your nipples. Replace the cabbage when it becomes warm. Sometimes women experience plugged ducts or breast infections. In both cases make sure you rest well and drink plenty of fluids. Nurse on the infected side first. Apply a compress made from rinsed and soaked 'Kombu' sea vegetable. Place a strip of kombu over the infected breast for about one hour. Remove and place crushed, cold. leafy greens such as kale on the breast for a few hours. Repeat if necessary. Eating large pieces of daikon (white radish) which have been steamed until soft are extremely helpful in easing all breast problems. Eat them on a regular basis.

7. Breastfeeding is such a special relationship with your baby and demonstrates a clear message of love, warmth, safety and reassurance to your newborn.
However, it is important to take care of your body too. It is also easy to experience tension in your upper back, shoulders and neck. Make sure you take time to stretch even if it is for a few minutes after nursing. Simple stretching will help your posture and ease away stiffness or sore muscles. Use pillows for support when nursing to prevent excessive strain on your back. A daily walk will help to keep your body in good shape and stress free. Regular massage after you have a baby is also beneficial.

8. Wear pure cotton next to your skin especially when nursing.
Cotton carries less of a static electrical charge than other materials and when worn next to the skin, helps to neutralize imbalances in the body. Synthetics on the other hand, increase imbalances. So if you are feeling more tired or anxious, synthetics will actually make you feel worse. Cotton clothing helps you to feel re-freshed and creates a stronger resistance to illness.

By using cotton clothing, your breastmilk will be more nourishing and less acidic. Your baby will also benefit from the use of natural fibers in clothing, diapers, towels, underwear and sheets. Often when women first start to breastfeed, they experience leaking from the breasts as their milk lets down. Choose natural cotton nursing pads to help prevent staining. While nursing from one breast, press gently but firmly against the other nipple to stop it leaking. This condition improves as your milk supply aligns with the demands of your baby.

9. Many breast-fed babies suffer from mild jaundice for a few days after birth.
Place the baby in a sunny spot in your house, such as a beneath a window, for about five minutes on his front and then on his back. Remove all his clothes. Make sure the room is warm. Watch your diet and avoid excess salt, crackers, toast, cookies, dairy and animal foods. A special tea made from dried daikon radish and dried shiitake mushroom works wonders. Drink one cup a day for about 3 days. If your baby has yellowing in the eyes and appears lethargic, make sure to seek medical advice.

10. In order for your baby to establish a regular routine and begin to sleep through the night, you need to establish a regular routine in your life.
Make sure to get up and go to bed at the same time each day and to have your meals at the same time. This will make a huge difference to your baby. If you separated from the baby during the day, make sure to have an established routine when you are together.

If your baby wakes up a lot at night, you could try nursing more often when you are together and see if you can lessen the number of night time feedings. Feeding patterns do change as the baby grows older, teething, growth spurts, all kinds of things can change when she wants to eat and how much, how she is sleeping... a lot like our eating and sleeping patterns. Again, look at the total picture of what is going on with her and you. Mother and child are one. How you conduct your day will have a direct effect on how your baby behaves.

I'm so hepi today.
hepi hepi lalala~
sebab dah beli Nikon D3100...
yey!
Akhirnya tercapai satu lagi azam tahun nih.
omg, aku ada DSLR yo!
hehe.

Mula-mula cadang nak beli kat Angsana.
Sebab free gift dia lagi banyak.
But that is 40 km away.
And then ingatkan nak tunggu Jcard Day kat JJ Tebrau...
Sebab Ms SZ ckp macam lagi best.
Tapi dengan keadaan Hubby yang bertongkat, dgn nak mengusung si Danish lagi, maka sila la beli kat Giant tu.

And then ingatkan nak beli Canon 550D.
Sebab video dia lebih best sbb ada external mic.
And sebab dia adalah 18mp plus beberapa extra function yg D3100 don't have.
Tapi setelah memikirkan sedalam-dalamnya, beli la encik Nikon juger.

Berbulan-bulan jugak la aku amik gambar pakai kamera henpon nih.
Last ada kamera adalah time raya tahun lepas T_T

Harz, ko mesti dah menat dengar aku cerita pasal benda nih.
Tapi kan memang kena bercerita banyak2 dulu baru ada semangat nak ngumpul duit beli DSLR ni kan. Sampai ko dah beli pun aku tak beli2 lagi ha.
...

Ni gambar nanish time kat rumah pakcik Boboy ngan acik Faz kat Puchong.
sangat bizi main ngan Tok Abah.
*owh tetiba rindu ngan budak tecik*

and no, this is not taken by the new D3100 but by my old E63 hp.

alhamdulillah... rezeki ^_^

Ingat nak beli cermin besar nak letak kat hall tuh.
Aritu survey2 yang 7x3 dlm RM400++ jugak depends pd jenis bingkai.
Duit lebih tu kena simpan sikit buat raya.
Maklumla, lepas raya kang baru dapat bonus.
Merasa la first time aku beraya takde monus nih.
Takpela lambat asalkan dapat, kan.
Staff2 yang dapat project bonus bulan ni best la.
beribu-ribu-ribu lemon gitu.
Pastu bln 9 kang dapat company bonus pulak.
merasa la jadi okb jap.
Raya kang kompem ada yang tukar kete baru.
takpun gi renovate rumah.
takpun gi berjalan kat oversea.
Aku tak la sebab support staff cuma dpt company bonus jek.
Dapat la cover beli itu ini sikit.

And aku tak jadik beli Philips : Steamer & Blender tu sebab lebih tertarik ngan benda ni, Shimono Food Processor.

• Most popular user friendly machine
• Impose only a minimum price becomes your good helper for life
• Size for Coffee Mug (machine) that suitable for travelling & little storage space
• Quality cups with Microwave Safe
• Dishwasher safe and rinse easily
• Powerful motor spin which can blend food less than 10 seconds
• Anti-rust cutters
• Government Recognized with (SIRIM) Approval & Warranty
• With spare parts maintenance & repair within Malaysia.
• Packaging size : 34.5 x 28.5 x 28.5 cm
• Packaging weight : 2.75 kg
My fren dah guna 5 tahun still elok and tak penah rosak pun. Berbaloi la dgn harga dia RM268. Dia guna utk masak2 and blend makanan baby sekali. veri senang and best. so of cos aku tertarik kan. Tapi kena beli steamer lain la sebab yg Shimono ni purely food processor.

Aku ada jumpa combined steamer & blender brand Little Bean (RM299.90) tapi takmo la. My sis guna brand ni utk baby monitor tu and memang tak tahan lama. Tak berkualiti sangat la.

And aku rasa nak beli slow cooker yg paling kecik tu sebab senang nak masak bubur Danish.

Tapi ntah ye.
Kalau ikut aku guna je la periuk nasik kecik yang kat rumah tu.
Time kawin aritu dapat hadiah periuk nasik sampai 4 pun tak abih guna lagi, tak payah nak membazir sangat.

Breastfeeding : Yang aku guna

2011-07-18T15:22:00.000+08:00

Aku start beli peralatan utk breastfeed (BF) ni lebih kurang a month before bersalin.
Sebabnya, aku kan kerja.
So cadangnya nak start mengepam kumpul stok EBM (Expressed Breast Milk) tu time pantang la.
Tapi nan ado okeh.
Menat.
Tak sempat.
'banyak la ko punya alasan kan.
Which I really regret sampai sekarang sebab patutnya aku boleh simpan stok banyak time dalam pantang tu drp terkejar2 susah-payah nak simpan stok susu time tgh keje ni kan. Dalam pantang tu kalau aku pam sekali sehari pun takpe. Dapat sikit pun takpe sebenarnya drp tak dapat apa2 nih.

And aku beli semua barang-barang breastfeed kat FM sebab murah and best and sebab lepas pegi FM aku bole terus makan Tutti Frutti kat bawah tu. haha.

As I said before, I bought Spectra 3 to express my milk.
Dalam hati memang teringin yang Medela tapi aku beli Spectra 3 sebab time tu aku takut takde susu so kalau beli yg murah2 ni tak ralat sangat la kalau tak guna pun kan.

Aku suka sebab double pumping.
Tak la seringan Medela tapi tak la berat sangat.
Ok jek aku angkut gi opis tiap hari tu.
And aku tak beli full set yg skali dgn beg tu pun.
Aku beli asing-asing.
Filter kena beli la sebab kalau takde filter takut susu masuk dlm pump, nanti rosak pulak.
Silicone Massager aku tak beli sebab aku rasa tak la sakit pun mengepam kalau takde silicone massager tu.

Disclaimer : The post in this blog is the opinion of the writer and is not intended to malign any religion, ethnic group, club, organization, company, or individual.

Ice Bag aku guna brand Techni Ice which is artificial ice.
Nak kata bagus sangat tu tak la tapi susu aku tahan je kalau dari kampung nak bawak balik sini, and dari office nak bawak balik rumah, to-and-fro and kalau aku singgah Tesco or memana la before sampai rumah tu. Techni Ice ni boleh dipotong2 ikut saiz Cooler Bag.

Yang aku tak suka sebab jangka hayat dia mcm tak lama sgt. Dalam 4 bln camtu tetiba dia koyak sikit2 and keluar lendir2 gel tu. 'ke sebab aku tak jaga elok2 eh?

Cooler bag aku beli 2, satu utk bwk ke office, satu utk bwk ke nursery.
Satu brand Jingle Jungle (RM14++), satu lagi brand MomsLittleOnes (RM50++).
Pendapat aku adalah, beg Jingle Jungle tu lebih best sebab murahan and zip dia tak cepat rosak.

MomsLittleOnes aku baru guna 4 bln zip dah rosak.
Jingle Jungle pun byk beg cantik2 skarang ni kan.

And aku guna MomsLittleOnes and Jingle Jungle for the storage bottle.
Pada aku, MomsLittleOnes storage bottle walaupun lebih mahal tapi adalah paling best.
Sebabnya botol dia lebih tahan lasak, lebih cantik and sedang elok je nak masuk dalam breastpump Spectra 3 tu.

Aku suka MomsLittleOnes yang jenis takde piring putih kat penutup atas tu sbb piring tu senang hilang. Kalau bukan ko yang hilangkan, nanti hilang je kat nursery tu kang.
Tapi setakat ni aku punya baru hilang satu je la.

Jingle Jungle punya botol mcm tak berapa fit sangat.
And kualiti mcm tak berapa elok.
Tulisan oz kat luar tu senang hilang bila kena panas selalu.
My fren takde sterilizer and dia guna steamer & periuk biasa utk sterilize bottle, tup2 tengok, tulisan kat botol tu boleh tanggal/hilang and body dia cair/kemek sbb panas sgt kot. So better guna sterilizer la, selain memudahkan, barang2 pun tak cepat rosak.

Sterilizer aku guna brand Tommee Tippee.
Senang sangat nak guna and boleh masuk botol gemuk2.
Barang-barang utk breastfeed ni kena sterilize dulu before guna.
Nantilah lain kali aku review pasal Spectra 3 ngan penggunaan dia ni kan.
Dulu aku seriesly tatau mcm mana nak buat double pumping so aku rasa mesti korang pun ramai yg tatau gak.

And aku ada beli milk storage bag brand Jingle Jungle tapi tak guna pun.
Sebabnya aku lagi suka guna botol, lebih jimat and lagi mudah nak simpan, lagi mudah nak cairkan and boleh recycle balik. If guna storage bag tu aku rasa cam membazir pulak. depends laa...

And aku beli Air Mesh Bag utk letak barang-barang yang dah di sterilize utk bwk pegi office. Sebabnya bila letak dlm beg tu botol-botol semua cepat kering, tak payah nak lap2.

And for those yang tanya boleh makan jamu tak time breastfeeding, pada pendapat aku, tunggu la hari ke-20 or tunggu sampai baby baik dari jaundice baru makan jamu. And that depends jugak pada jenis jamu yang korang makan.

Aku guna Nona Roguy (NR) and air Akar Herbanika dia tu memang membanyakkan susu badan so lepas baby lahir dah boleh start minum. And Phytonatal tu aku makan lepas hari ke-10 (seminggu lepas baby lahir). Itupun 1, 2 biji sehari sebab nak lawaskan pembuangan air besar and aku tak mkn tiap-tiap hari pun. Kalau sembelit time dlm pantang sangat seksa okeh. Dan alhamdulillah dia tak effect pengeluaran susu badan pun.

Kesimpulannya takdela susah mana pun nak breastfeed ni cuma u have to be mentally prepared to fully breastfeed your baby.

Pada aku yang kena dok sorang2 sejak dlm pantang tu memang penat wooo.
And super duper mencabar la.
Sebabnya, aku kena nguruskan baby sorang2 and mana nak handle baby, mana nak tidurkan dia, nak pam susu, nak buat keje. And that's why aku stop buat guestbook sampai la bln 10 ni and maybe akan extend lagi sebab tak larat and takde masa.

---------------------------------

There’s so many advantages that you can get from breastfeeding, amazing advantages for you and your baby. Unfortunately, the fact is breastfeeding is not always easy. We’ve heard so many times that many mothers found obstacles in breastfeeding their baby. It’s not as easy as it said. Successful breastfeeding is not easy, but it will be easy if you know the tips. For this reason, you should know how to handle those obstacles by this breastfeeding tips articles.

Here are some breastfeeding tips for mothers :

1. It’s very important for you to know all about breastfeeding since you’re pregnant. It will help you so much to succeed in breastfeeding your baby.

2. Start to breastfeed your baby immediately after birth. If possible, do early breastfeeding initiation since this activity has very important role in order to get successful breastfeeding. Besides, breast milk that come out in first week after delivery contain of colostrums, good nutrition for your baby.

3. Most of lactation failure due to an error of how baby sucking the breasts. Make sure that you breastfeed your baby in the right way. Do the properly latch on to baby’s mouth. Baby’s mouth should wide open and make sure that your baby’s also sucking your areola, not only sucking your nipple. It’s very important for baby so that they can get much more breast milk and it’s also good for you in order to avoid sore nipple or inflamed breast.

4. Make sure that your baby really gets your breast milk while he’s sucking your breast. It is sign by strong baby’s cheek motion followed by regular rhythm and you can hear the sound of baby’s swallowing your breast milk.

5. As possible as you can, avoid the use of pacifier or bottle nipple since it could hamper the successful breastfeeding. The use of bottle nipple or pacifier would also make nipple confusion in your baby. Nipple confusion will make baby would not to be breastfeed. You can read the article about nipple confusion in baby here.

6. As possible as you can, avoid giving formula milk to your baby, especially in exclusive breastfeeding time (0-6 months), because it can make baby’s getting less breast milk and also it could be a failure in successful breastfeeding.

7. Find the good and cozy position for you while you’re breastfeeding your baby. Sitting position is one of the good and cozy positions for you. You can put pillow under your hands and back in order to be more comfortable. Actually, there’s no strict position guidance. Find the position that you and your baby like the most.

8. Do breastfeed your baby based on demand. Do not try to make a limitation or regular schedule time for baby to be breastfeed. The more often you breastfeed your baby, the more breast milk production you’ll get.

9. Always give a touch, skin to skin contact and make eye contact to your baby while you’re breastfeeding your baby. Make the breastfeeding as one chance for you to make strong bonding to your baby. Besides, skin to skin contact and eye contact will make baby more relax and also will make breastfeeding process run smoothly and successfully.

10. It’s good for you to let the breast nipple in contact with the air about 10-15 minutes, especially in the early days of breastfeeding. It aims to strengthen the nipple and also prevent the occurrence of blisters and pain in your nipple. You do not need to do this again if breastfeeding has been going well.

11. Apply a healthy lifestyle such as stay away from cigarettes, alcohol and other substances that must be avoided by breastfeeding mother.

12. Eat a healthy diet by looking at good nutrition and balanced. Do not forget also to drink lots of milk, water or juice to increase the amount of milk production. You can enjoy a drink while breastfeeding. Read about good nutrition while breastfeeding here.

13. Sleep when your baby sleeps. It is very useful to recharge your tired body after devoting much energy for caring and taking care of all your baby needs. Tired and not fit body condition off course will reduce the supply of your breast milk and hamper the successful breastfeeding.

14. Make sure you breastfeed your baby with both breasts. Do not just give one breast to your baby.

15. Think positive. Breastfeeding is not an easy activity. With positive thinking, you will feel lighter in running this nursing activity. In addition, good psychological conditions play a huge role to ensure the supply of milk. If your emotional condition is stable, then your breast milk production will be more fluent and much more supply.

16. Ask for support from husbands or from people around you. With full support provided by the people around you, then your mental condition also will be better. It obviously will increase the chances of successful breastfeeding.

17. Take care of your breasts as this will impact very positively for the smooth process of breastfeeding. Do treatments such as massage, cleanse or compress the breast. You can clean your breasts once a day. Do not be too frequent washing breasts with soap because it will make the skin and nipples become dry. Do not forget to do a breast massage using olive oil. This massage will help to make breastfeeding more succeed in addition it will also help keep your breast forms.

18. Wear the special breastfeeding bra for your breast. Do not wear very tight bra.

19. Use breast pad while breastfeeding time. Change the breast pad as often as possible in order to prevent sore nipple and infection.

20. Do not worry that the baby is not getting enough milk. Your worried will only make your emotional become unstable and it will affect your breast milk supply. Relax and believe in yourself. One sign that the baby is getting enough milk is he will pee 6 times in 24 hours (especially if babies only drink breast milk without the addition of other beverages). If your baby is still crying after breastfeeding, it doesn’t mean that your milk supply is not sufficient for your baby. Most likely is caused by the wrong way in baby sucking the breast. If you find any difficulty in this case, please don’t be hesitate to consult about it to lactation consultant.

Breastfeeding : Dalam pantang

2011-07-15T06:36:00.000+08:00

Sejak ngandungkan si Emir Danish mmg telah berazam dengan gigih mau fully breastfeed si kecil ineh. Dan alhamdulillah, as at today, Emir suda 5 bulan++ pun usianya and I still breastfeed him.

and no, BF is not as easy as u may think.
In d first place, nobody tells you how difficult it can be.
You're lead to believe that it's the most natural thing in the world and both u and baby will do it automatically tapi yang sebenarnya jangan harapla.

Memang nampak mudah.
Baby nak nyusu je selak baju, sua kat mulut dia. setel.
Malam2 takyah sesusah nak bangun ngantuk2 buat susu.
Nak jalan pegi manapun senang tak payah nak berangkut bakul bagai.
And jimat gile hokey.
Sekali je la kena beli breastpump tu.
Aku beli Spectra 3 sebab harga tak mahal sangat and tak ralat la kalau tak mengepam pun.
Aku nak Medela yg double pumping tu tapi mahal jugak dekat RM2000 kan.
Tapi takpe la, Spectra 3 pun best juger.
Yang penting, beli la yg double pumping and electric.
Kot tak memang bazir masa nak pam sebelah2.

So sebab aku dapat bagi Emir ni susu badan, berbaloi la aku beli pam.
Susu formula pun setin dah 70, 80 ringgit.
Kalau sebulan kurang2 pun kena prepare RM200++ jugak utk susu.
Dgn diapers lagi.
And portion yg utk susu tu ko bole buat beli brg2 best utk baby contohnya mcm baju2 mahal, mainan mahal or segala mak bapak benda mahal, etc.

I had assumed breastfeeding was easy as it is so heavily promoted but to tell u the truth, it has been very stressful and draining especially time dalam pantang.
Tatau la kot pada korang lain pulak kan.

Time dalam pantang tu, hari ke-4, baby aku kena jaundice.
Dalam hati aku memang dah agak mesti baby tak cukup susu tapi aku still sua jugak breast ni kat dia suh minum susu.
Degil takmo bagi susu formula, kan.
Padahalnya kalau bg susu formula pun tak luaknya.
Tapi entah ye.

Agaknya aku ni terpengaruh sgt ngan internet.
Byk sgt survey and baca info pasal BF ni kan so konon2 takmo la anak minum susu formula tu. Tapi memang betul pun susu akan keluar jugak bila selalu distimulate. Maksudnya, kalau susu tak keluar pun suruh je baby tu hisap, insya allah susu akan keluar.

Memang aku buat macam tu, tapi susu keluar skit jugak...
And patutnya aku kena campur susu formula jugak.
Tapi still degil takmo campur.
Tu yg at last kena jaundice tu.

So, hari ke-4 tu berangkut la kami anak beranak termasuk la bapaknya sekali ke Puteri Specialist kat JB for a 3 days 2 nights stay... yg akan diceritakan pada entry akan-akan-akan datang ye ;p

And bila dah balik dari hospital tu pun aku still tak bagi dia susu formula.
Maybe that's why anak aku kurang minum susu and his jaundice tak baik2 sampai dekat 20 hari++ jugak la. And then baru la beli susu Similac tu buat backup.

Tapi dalam hari ke-15 macam tu, susu aku dah start keluar banyak.
Banyak sgt2 sampai basah kuyup baju tiap kali bangun tidur.
Tapi aku tak pam sebab penat sangat.
Penat jaga baby sebab dia bangun tiap jam untuk menyusu.
And time dia tidur, aku mengurut, makan, mandi, etc2.
Memang takde masa la nak perah2 susu.
And then tiba2 breast aku jadi bengkak sangat2.
Panas and sakit gile oke.
Macam nak demam pun ada.
And time nyusu tu anak aku dok gigit2 or hisap kuat sangat and rasa macam ada luka skit.
Mula2 sebelah, and aku bagi anak aku hisap sebelah yg tak sakit tu.
And then bila yg sebelah tu baik, sebelah lagi ikut bengkak.
Seksa gila.
Yang luka kat nipple tu aku sapu Medela Purelan baru ok.
Time tu aku belum beli nipple shield so tahan je la sakit time baby nyusu.

Memang takut sangat kalau kena Mastitis (which I will elaborate later dlm next-next-next entry. hehe) Sebab kawan aku ada jugak yg kena camni and kena operate utk keluarkan nanah/susu tersumbat dalam breast tu.

Ngeri weh.

And time kena bengkak susu tu aku tak pam guna mesin, instead, aku manually guna tangan, sebab time bengkak2 tu memang sakit kalau guna mesin.
tak muat pon.
haha.

And time aku perah manual tu dapat la 0.5 oz, 1 oz gitu...
bole la kan asalkan keluar.
Memang dalam pantang aku tak perah sangat sebab takde masa + penat melampau.
And aku start perah cuma 4 hari before naik keje.

Kesimpulannya adalah, you have to breastfeed your baby no matter what. If susu tak keluar pun still kena bagi dia hisap puting and after that kena bagi dia minum susu formula jugak. Kalau tak, memang merasa la ko jaga anak yang kena demam kuning ni, kena bengkak susu lagi, susah okeh.

Lepas ni akan sambung bercerita tentang breastfeeding lagi ye.

Emir dah pandai gelak ngan dasat ye sekarang.
Hubby amik gambar ni time kat hospital, time dia operate lulut aritu.

baby blender, anyone?

2011-07-14T08:06:00.001+08:00

Emir slalu nengok camni kalau aku tengah sibuk borak ngan dia dlm kete nak balik keje tu.
macam, apehal la omak aku dok bebel ni kan.
Tapi memang excited la aku nak gomol dia kalau tgh buat muka comel camni.
Macam dah besar je.

And since he's officially 5 mths 3 weeks old now, omak adalah sangat excited juger nak start bagi dia makan. Patutnya nak bagi time umur dia 6 bln tapi ai adalah sgt tak sabo hokey. Dah berapa hari ni aku dok pikir pasal makanan dia so tadi dgn gigih aku beli sebijik pisang kat cafe opis sebab kalau kat luar kena beli sesisir kang sapa pulak nak abihkan. Balik ni adalah operasi lenyek2 pisang nak sumbat dlm mulut budak tecik.

haha.

and aku adalah veri kemaruk ngan benda ni juger.
Philips Avent : Steamer & Blender

Berpuluh2 review dah aku baca, ada pros and cons tapi mostly mmg best la.
Keburukkan adalah : takleh buat grind beras, grains or benda2 yg keras cam ice cubes tu.
Takpela sebab aku ada blender lain so yg tu bole buat blend beras or oat ke hapa yg lain-lain tu.

And agak kecil so takleh nak blend benda2 dlm big amount.
Tapi tak kesahla sebab bukan susah pun nak guna so bila Emir nak mkn nanti baru masak.
lagi fresh ha.

Aku sangat suka sebab boleh steam and blend dlm satu masa.
Aku kan suka hangitkan barang kat periuk, so takde la risiko hangit steamer aku ni kan.

Tapi aku risau je kalau Emir takmo makan puree.
Kalau dia nak beras perang or oatmeal je kang tak ke naya?
Mahal hokey benda alah ni.
Paling murah aku jumpa adalah RM351.20.
hum hum.

Tapi gaknya sebab aku memang nak benda ni kan so segala kebaikkan je la yg aku nampak.
Lebih excited bila baca kat blog Crystalmerah & Mellomouse ni.

Hubby bagi green light sebab dia cakap as long as benda tu guna, boleh je beli.
so sebab sponser dah bagi persetujuan, lagi la aku nak beli kan.
Tapi my fren ckp, better beli food processor sebab nanti bila baby dah tak mkn puree, kita pun bole guna gak buat masak.

tu la... tapi aku suka sebab dia kecik and boleh angkut balik kg anytime.
so, ntah ye?

video penggunaan adalah seperti di bawah :

kehendak aku.

2011-07-10T10:12:00.000+08:00

Lately ni kepala otak aku dok terbayang2 je wajah Nikon D3100 tu.
Tahap veri d kemaruk dah.
Menci la amik gambo guna henpon je nih.
Ingatkan nak tunggu PC Expo bln 8 kang tapi mcm dah tak berapa nak sabar dah.
Pastu nak tunggu bonus mcm lambat sangat bln 9 nanti.
raya pun dah nak abih.
Penyudahnya aku amik gambar raya guna henpon jugak kang.
Dah la first time nak beraya ngan Emir nih.
Sangat la tak vouge.
So bercadang nak beli je weekend ni.
Semalam dok survey gak and yg paling murah aku jumpa adalah RM1899 + free gift.
Murah sangat kang takut underwater set pulak.
Belum tengok kat Angsana lagi la.

Tapinya takut lens yg dia bg tu tak menepati citarasa pulak.
Tapinya aku sbenarnya tatau pun lagi jenis gambar apa yg aku nak amik.
Kalau setakat gambar biasa2, lens 18-55mm tu ok je kot.
Tapi bila dok baca review pasal wide zoom and tele zoom mcm sgt best.

Tapi ntah ye.
Bebenda mahal mcm ni kena survey byk2 jugak tapi aku adalah sgt tak sabo dah hokey.
Semalam kat kedai tu diorg dok provoke suh beli Canon EOS 550D tu sbb harga dia dah jatuh skrg nih. tapi aku cam takmo sbb dalam kepala aku dah cop jenama Nikon je.

haih.
mesti masuk dlm mimpi aku lagik mlm nih.

so, this is Emir Danish @ 5 months old.
wajah sebelum kena cukur rambut la.

ari Sabtu lepas, 18/6, dah selamat cukur pun rambut si Danish nih.
dah botak licin.
takde la nak berkenduri cukur jambul bagai.
adat yang ala2 Hindu ni berendoi la, lenggang perut la, ntah hape lagi la aku malas nak ikut sangat. ada rezeki, nak buat akikah insya allah bln 9 ni waktu2 nak raya tu.
senang, pakai baju raya je terus.

aritu aku dah tempahkan baju raya kami, sedondon kaler plum purple and satu lagi kaler pearl grey. aku la yang pilih kaler sebab Hubby takde kan.
dia cuma cakap nak kaler pepel so aku pun gigih la meronda carik kaler pepel yang cantek.
and he specifically said a big no to green or yang seangkatan dengannya.
apsal ntah kaum kerabat yg veri d anti dengan kaler hijau nih.
so lagi selai aku pilih la kaler kelabu metalik.
cantek la kat mata aku.
cumanya cam kelam pulak nak pakai kelabu2 time raya nih.

ok, ai nak ngemas baju.
Hubby nak operate kaki jap lagi.
bye!

momma yang cantekkk!

2011-06-28T21:38:00.000+08:00

Aku nak benda ni sangat2!
Sejak Emir belum lahir lagi pun aku memang dah jatuh cinta yang teramat ngan brand tu.
macam, oh my.
Super comel la barang mOmma nehhh.
Tapi agak mahal juger.

Botol dia kan gemuk2 macam Tommee Tippiee.
and veri colorful gitu.
but for the bottle I still opt for TT la sbb lebih well known akan kebagusan dia kan.
mOmma punya bottle tu mcm gemuk sgt la pulak nak letak dlm henbeg.
and bentuk dia bukan mcm breast pun so tak mungkin la Emir suka, kan.

Normal price for this mOmma: Developmental Meal Set is RM105 and the cheapest yg aku jumpa is RM89.25.
ok tak eh?

The mOmma: Developmental Meal Set works with your baby to increase motor skills and enjoy feeding time. Stage one utilizes the plate and spoon. The plate is non-slip and non-tip base. Two compartments separate foods, promote taste differentiation and develop dipping skills. The spoon with soft tip is easy on the baby's gums. The rocking base entertains while keeping the utensil upright and preventing contact with soiled surfaces. Stage two utilizes the same plate with the fork with its rigid, yet soft prongs that promote normal use of utensils by baby.

and ada jugak this mOmma: Developmental Drink Set tapi ntah ye.
macam tak berapa berminat.
maybe sebab anak aku belum start minum gitu lagi kot.

The mOmma: Developmental Drink Set are designed to follow the various stages of your baby's growth and learning step by step, supplying a useful and complete product for weaning.

Three stage levels :

Stage 1 - 4m+, feeding bottle, round and ergonomic for your baby's tiny hands
Stage 2 - 6m+, non-spill and dual handle system can be fitted to the cup. Baby learns to grip the dual handles
Stage 3 - 8m+, cup with straw and single handle system can be fitted to the cup. Baby starts drinking from the straw using the single handle.

haiyohhh!
gile soping barang Emir je aku ni weh.
since Emir is entering his eating stage soon, harus la ai carik sebab utk soping brg dia je kan. bole jatuh mesken omak kalo ko dok enter byk2 stage ni nak.

and ptg ni Hubby ajak soping cat utk luar rumah.
sebab nak tambah awning kat depan tu so nak cat sekali la kan.
and aku nak tambah kaler dark fuschia utk feature wall kat hall atas tu.
kaler tu sebab aku dah terbeli gambar bunga cantek kaler pink so harus la dinding tu ikut tema gambar yang nak disangkut, kan.

Lama tak bercerita pasal rumah.
Akhirnya sampai nak duduk dekat setahun dah ni pun cerita tak abih lagi.

oh ye. aku tau mesti Harz nak cakap, yang pasal kawin, pasal bersalin tu pun akhirnya tak abih cerita jugak.
eh.

Advance for PHYSICAL THERAPISTS
Limiting Time in ‘Walker’ Devices May Avoid Back Pain Later in Life
By Pamela Rohland

Over the past decade, millions of parents have found baby walkers and similar products an ideal way to keep their kids busy and out of trouble while they take a break or attend to chores. But most parents aren’t aware of the dangers that accompany these seemingly innocuous pieces of equipment, including the potential for accidents and the potential for children to develop postures that have been associated with adult pack pain.

"I don’t think the advantages of walkers and saucers override the disadvantages," said Debi Kardon, PT, a staff therapist at the Voorhees, NJ. Evidence pointing to safety concerns with infant walkers is mounting. The American Medical Association called walkers a "lethal form of transportation" and a new study supports that description.

Researchers at The Ohio State University College of Medicine at Children’s Hospital in Columbus reviewed the records of 217 children treated at the hospital for baby walker-related injuries. In a report on the study from Reuters (Aug.5), despite adult supervision in 78 percent of the cases, 58 percent of the children had contusions and abrasions, 13 percent had concussions and head injuries, 12 percent had lacerations and 9.5 percent had skull fractures. Almost all of the children were injured after falling down stairs while in the walker.

Prevention strategies such as adult supervision, warning labels and stairway gates are not enough to make the walkers safe. Critics of the equipment are calling for stronger action. They suggest a ban on baby walkers in the United States, a strategy Canadians have adopted, or at least the manufacture of baby walkers that are too wide to fit through standard doorways.

From a safety standpoint, stationary activity centers like the saucers, which don’t roll across the floor on wheels, are preferable to baby walkers. But those who spoke with ADVANCE said both walkers and saucers can cause physical impairment and stress that they would not recommend either device.

So far, the evidence pointing to physical problems is largely anecdotal partly because it is difficult to measure the movements of such tiny bodies when they are in a cumbersome piece of equipment. And manufacturers counter that saucers can help kids develop some coordination as they turn, bounce and rock. But even they caution against placing children in the devices for more than 20 minutes a day.

Mary Weck, PT, a clinical specialist at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said she has seen more babies walking later because when they hang suspended in a walker or a saucer, they aren’t exercising the muscles they need for walking. "We’ve seen children who are over 18 months old who aren’t walking," Weck said. "Usually children walk when they are between 11 and 15 months. The only known condition these babies have in common is spending an inordinate amount of time in a walker or saucer.

"They don’t have the power to stay upright on their own because they don’t have good back extensors or abdominal muscles." The can have a negative influence on balance. Weck said she is even more concerned by children who are developing a posture that is almost sway-back because of the overuse of walkers or saucers.

They arch their back in an unusual way," she said. "That posture can cause back pain in adults, and there may be potential for long-term disability." When she treats teenagers with back pain, Weck asks whether they used a walker as a baby. Almost invariably, the answer is "yes". The devices also could contribute to difficulty with the feet because children often wind up waling on their toes or pronating their feet.

Kardon, who works with children with neurological physical impairments, said she definitely would not recommend walkers or saucers for them. "Developmentally delayed children or children with special needs use abnormal movement patterns," she said. "With spasticity, they’re already pushing their bodies into extension as a compensatory measure, and saucers would promote the abnormal patterns that we’re trying to break."

Peter A. Gorski, MD, MPA, executive director of the Massachusetts Caring for Children Foundation in Boston, said that along with physical and safety issues, he is concerned that walkers and saucers give parents and babies less time to interact. "The walkers diminish both crucial social interactive time and create unsafe situations," he said.

The clinicians interviewed agreed that babies need supervised "tummy time" to develop back, neck, abdominal and buttock muscles. They recommend a return to simply time spent playing with Mom an Dad on the floor, instead of using walkers and saucers. When parents need a break and would otherwise use standing equipment, playpens work great, said Weck.

If walkers and saucers must be used, babies should be in them no more than 20 minutes a day and parents should be with the child during that time, Gorski said. "If walkers can be used within a social context and they are only one tool to accomplish something, then they’re fine." he said. "But I would want them to be used interactively."

Weck said there needs to be more study to determine the effects of walkers and saucers. In the meantime therapist must help educate parents. "Most people have not heard the information about potential postural abnormalities," she said. "New parents are the most receptive to this information. People are not receptive if they already use them."

Baby walkers: Considering the full price of convenience
By Michelle P. Pronsati, ADVANCE staff

They are a standard gift at almost every baby shower, and for years parents have welcomed them as a respite from hands-on child care. Babies seem to enjoy them as well, rolling gleefully from room to room as they savor their first taste of mobility and independence.

But there is a simmering debate as to whether baby walkers are a good idea at all. Pediatricians, physical therapists and other health professional who work closely with infants say inappropriate uses and mounting injuries make the baby walker at item worth greater scrutiny.

"Walkers are generally bad for babies because manufacturers haven’t found a way to make them safe," said Donna Picone, MEd. PT, supervisor of the early intervention program at John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Edison, NJ.

It’s not that the manufacturers haven’t tried. Most major walker makers have attempted to answer parental and consumer concerns by reducing the size of leg openings and adding inches to the height of the back rest. But child experts estimate that thousands of infants are placed in walkers before they have developed sufficient head or trunk control, rendering these model changes almost useless.

Many of today’s models are adjustable in height, designed to adapt to the child as he or she grows. This change alone has prompted more parents to use walkers too early.

"They’re so much lower to the ground now that you can put younger babies in them," Ms. Picone said. "It used to be that walkers weren’t used until a baby was six months or older, but I’ve seen mothers use them at much young ages."

With today’s higher backs and lower heights, it’s easy to be lulled into thinking that walkers provide appropriate support, the PT acknowledged. But although here may be greater back support, there is virtually nothing to promote trunk or head control.

The belief that walkers accelerate a baby’s ambulatory progress is also a misconception, Ms. Picone pointed out. Although parents may believe a walker will promote exercise and purposeful movement, it actually can encourage inappropriate balance and postural techniques.

Walking on the toes is common while a baby is in a walker. This natural response involves stiffened legs and an of counterbalance. According to physical therapists and other clinicians who have studied motor behavior in infants, this reinforces undesirable movement patterns and can lead to problems in the manipulation of handheld toys.

Walkers may be particularly inappropriate for children with motor delays or other developmental problems, according to published research (see suggested reading list at end of story). Among infants with muscle tone or coordination problems, walker activities may hinder progress in physical therapy and other treatment.

Moreover, studies have shown that walkers do not actually hasten walking. Although babies can move the walker at an early age by pushing with their feet, this is only because their body is supported and not because they have the motor control and balance necessary for walking. This movement is merely propulsion, not walking.

"Walkers can provide parents with a few uninterrupted minutes to get something done, and they also give babies a sense of mobility and freedom," Ms. Picone said. "But parents should always be concerned with how long their child is in a walker. It should only be for short periods of time.

Walkers also can contribute to motor control and comfort in certain babies with special needs.

"When a baby is in a seated position without support, primitive reflexes are decreased," Ms. Picone explained. "And in some babies, a walker helps them come to a middle upright position."

She cited the case of a 15-month-old center. All four of her extremities are involved and she has a difficult time separating from her mother. Discouraged by the child’s continued volatile responses when she placed the girl on the floor, the mother tried a walker.

"She tolerates it better than being placed on the floor and it’s appropriate for her," the PT said. "While she’s in the walker, her feet are flat and her knees are bent. Her head control has improved as a result."

The use of walkers for babies with special needs should be a carefully considered decision. Ms. Picone cautioned.

"I advise parents and therapists to make the decision on an individual basis. If the child is motivated to move, it may be a help.: she said. "Some aren’t motivated that way."

As a matter of routine, therapists in the early intervention program at JFK Medical Center ask parents whether they use a walker at home. If they do, they are asked to bring the walker in for an evaluation.

"We evaluate each child in their walker to determine whether they can actually utilize it well," she explained. "If we can better position the child that will usually help. We won’t modify a whole lot, though, because if the child got hurt in the walker, liability would be an issue...but often, just adjusting one notch can do the trick."

Some of the issues that should be considered when evaluating a walker include height, the depth of the tray in front of the child, and the space between the child’s torso and the inner circumference of the walker.

"A child shouldn’t be able to slip his arm down and become stuck," Ms. Picone noted. "There should be a space of between 3 or 4 inches from the walker try to the baby’s ribs."

No matter how a walker is being used, constant supervision is imperative. More than 25,000 babies involving walkers, according to federal statistics. In the majority of accidents, babies fall down stairs in the walkers or topple over when the wheels become jammed. Many other accidents occur when floor surfaces change.

Babies placed in walkers when they are too young and small have become trapped in leg openings, while babies who are too large have fallen while trying to climb out of the device.

These injuries, which typically include head fractures and lacerations and tooth damage, have become so prominent that a Seattle pediatrician recently called for the removal of baby walkers from the market. Abe Bergman, MD., director of pediatrics at Harborview Medical Center, said last month that he and some pediatrician colleagues intend to ask the Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue a ban on walkers.

Parents who use walkers should watch for warning signs that their infant has outgrown their appropriate use, Mrs. Picone said.. These signs include an ability to stand upright on flat feet and a tendency to reach for objects.

"The best position for using a walker is with the child’s knees bent at 90 degrees and the feet flat at 90 degree," she said. "If they’re pulling to standing, they shouldn’t be in a walker. The walker try should reach only to chest level, and it’s not if the child is standing. When it’s at waist level the child can flip the walker over by reaching or pushing forward quickly."

The use of walkers is something that should be monitored carefully and of only short duration, the PT said.

"There are many possibilities for babies to explore the world, including the floor," she concluded. "They shouldn’t be placed in walkers for more than 15 minutes, and always under constant supervision. Babies do things for the first time - like standing or reaching - when you least expect it. That’s why parents should always be prepared."

the husband.

2011-06-14T08:58:00.000+08:00

yey! hubby is coming back dis weekend!!!
yey yey yey!!!
he says it's for good but I don't know.
there's no certainty here.
berharap sajalah that it's gonna be for good.
hum hum.
walau berapa banyak aku komplen kat sini, korang takkan paham betapa sedeh and susahnya hidup ni bila hubby takde. nothing can really describe how awful life is without hubby around.

orang kata, dulu time single bole je hidup sorang2.
memang la.
dulu aku pun rasa mcm tu jugak.
time awal2 masuk universiti dulu, aku takde boifren.
and ada one time tu aku tgh jalan2 kat MP dgn a few of my close fren and tgh citer2 tu sorang kwn aku, Adah, she kept talking about his bf (now her hubby).

aku ckp la kat dia, aku single, boleh je hidup sorang, pegi mana2 sorang. and she said, ko takde bf lagi bole la ckp camtu. nanti dah ada bf kang baru ko rasa susahnya kalau dia takde. she said, dulu dia pun jenis yg independent jugak tapi bila dah ada bf ni automatik telah jadi dependent tau.

and yes, it is sooo true.

a few months later, I met my bf (now an ex), and dulu, when he's not around, serasa hilang sebelah tangan dan kaki aku. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones yang sentiasa jumpa laki2 yg suka membantu, pampering me sampai aku jadi spoiled brat gini =p

Memangla dulu single bole je hidup sendiri.
Tapi bila dah berdua, berkeluarga, ada rumah sendiri ni, automatik akan menjadi dependent pd sang husben ye. that one adalah something yg tak boleh dinafikan, melainkan la kalau laki ko tu teruk nak mati satu benda pun tanak tolong kan.

I've never watch that Nora Elena but everyone in the office do and bercerita betapa best and heavennya dpt husben yg romantik gitu.

Tetiba teringat yg my hubby selalu ckp yang dia bukan seorang yang romantik.
1st time dia belikan aku bunga dulu pun dia call aku tanya kat sini mana ada jual bunga.
dia cakap, kakak dia mintak tolong belikan utk her office.
aku pun memang tak expect la dia nak belikan aku bunga so ngan lurus bendulnya aku bagitau la ada satu kedai tu yang company aku slalu order.
tup tup petang tu dia datang bawak sejambak bunga.
hubby aku ni kot ye pun pegi la tanya org lain kat mana ada kedai bunga tu kan.
ada plak gi tanya aku. haha.

and no, my husben is not as romantic as that Seth Tan but he has his own way to make me falls head over heels for him over and over again ^_^

bak kata Diah, whenever u wifey rasa cam jealous or dying to hv a hubby like ur frens' hubbies tu pls knw dat someone out there wud kill to have yours :)

dia yang dirindu.

2011-05-31T22:20:00.000+08:00

Tadi aku park kat tempat pertama kami terserempak dulu.
Sedehla tapi rasa nak sengih2 bila teringat kisah lalu.

lorong itu, tempat pertama ketemu Hubby di sini.
...

Masa tu memang aku tau dia bekerja di sini.
Tapi tak kenal pun.
Sebabnya, we have more than 1500 staff here.
And semua pakai jeket/overall kuning pulak tu.
And kalau campur subcon, vendor, client mau dekat 3, 4 ribu jugak.

Walaupun aku dah bekerja di sini hampir 4 tahun, tapi bukan semua pun aku kenal.
Pastu dahla tak kenal, takkan nak sibuk2 bertegur sapa pulak kan.
Aku ni pun bukan jenis yang overperamah sangat.
If org tegur then baru la bole borak2.
Kalau org tak tegur, takkan nak sibuk2 pulak kan.
Bukannya nyombong tapi ntah ye.
I love to talk.
Kalau yg kenal aku, tau la kot.

So the first few months tu kami memang tak pernah bercakap.
Takat tengok je la sesama sendiri.
Lagipun aku kan tengah dgn somebody else time tu.

Cumanya, tiap kali datang ke opis, park kereta, aku suka tunggu dia datang and lepas nampak muka baru la masuk ke opis. and aku perasan, if dia datang dulu, he will wait for me to pass by, cenyum2 kat tingkap, and pastu baru la dia masuk ke opis. Aku selalu park kat area pokok2 kat belakang tu. And dia pulak park kat depan2 dkt ngan simpang tu sbb dia terer side parking. Aku tak terer. Sebab jalan tu memang slalu penuh ngan kete and lori treler. Sebab tu kete aku selalu kena park jauh nun kat belakang.

ye, sebab aku tak terer T_T

and if tempat parking kat jalan tu penuh, I'll park kat tempat lain pastu terus gi cafe sebab aku tau dia mesti gi brekfes kat situ dulu baru masuk kerja.

Dulu aku jarang brekfes.
Tapi aku pegi jugak ke cafe tapau air sirap bandung.
Sebab air tu je yang aku suka kat cafe ni.
yela, takkan gi cafe tak beli apa2 kan.
kang opismate tanya pulak.
haha.
macam ntah hapa2 je kan.

and bila first time dia call extension aku kat opis adalah gile terkejut.
so, something is really in the air between us ^_^

Pastu bila dah kawin ni and bila sama2 bercerita tentang kisah lalu, memang betul la apa yang kitorang dok pikir selama ni. Walaupun tak kenal tapi apsal ntah sibuk2 nak tunggu sesama sendiri dalam keta tapi takde nak bertegur sapa pun.
gila kelakar.

and oh my, I miss yu hubby.
...

Tadikan waktu jalan kaki ke kereta, tiba2 datang rasa rindu.
I miss to have somebody to talk to.
maksud aku, bercakap secara mengada-ngada.
eh maksud aku, somebody yang aku boleh cerita secara beremosi.
apa-apalah.

yela walaupun tiap hari Hubby telefon pun tapi perasaannya tetap tak sama.
nak komplen itu ini, nak bercerita banyak2, nak marah2 tentang semua.
bukanla nak suruh dia pujuk ke hapa cuma mau dia ada di situ dengarkan semua, tadahkan telinga. macam selalu, waktu dulu2.

kesian betul.

walaupun Hubby adalah suka membebel plus suka bercerita yang panjang lebar tapi tak kesahla.
I promise I will listen.
As long as he's here, apa2 pun tak kesah.
*owh janji2 manis nampaknyeh*

Tiap kali balik rumah, bukak pintu pagar pun akan datang rasa sebak sebab semuanya kena buat sendiri. Lebih-lebih lagi time hari hujan. Macam sangat sakit atilah. Rasa macam nak tunggu je hujan tu teduh or pegi kat memana dulu sementara hujan reda. Tapi bila pikir2 balik, in the end, aku jugak yang kena bukak pintu gate tu.
macam hampeh je kan.
saiko la pompuan ni bukak pintu pagar pun nak berkira.
T_T

Tapi time2 gini la selalu teringat, kalau Hubby ada ni mesti dia dah bukakkan pintu and pagar. macam dulu.
macam selalu.
dia yang buat semuanya.
owhh sedeh sedeh...

And dulu tiap kali balik kerja, if dia park kete seberang jalan, dia tetap akan suruh aku tunggu dulu and he will come over and pimpin tangan untuk melintas walopun sbenarnya jalan tu cuma sekangkang kera. Sangat sweet walaupun aku sebenarnya agak segan ngan para2 opismate.

And sangat rindu nak jadi co-pilot balik walaupun selalu telah tunjuk jalan yang salah kat Hubby.

penatla drive sendiri nih.
penat nak pergi memana pun sendiri.
kalau bizi, nak balik malam2 pun susah.
nak kena pikirkan anak lagi.
and aktiviti bersoping-sopingan bersama cik baby terpaksa ditangguhkan buat sementara waktu.

kadang2 je la kalau teringin sangat nak minum Starbuck or nak gi Harris tu angkut jugakla budak kecit ni ngan tulang 4 kerat.
nak masuk dlm ringsling dia tak berapa suka sebab macam terperap dalam tu kot.
hobi baru si Danish ni kan menerajang.
sume benda pun dia nak terajang.
sambil2 dia menerajang tu kang abih tercampak kuar terus dari ringsling tu kang.
terus jadi tragedi pulak.
tragedi omak yang gedik nak bersoping bersama anak yg tercampak keluar dari ringsling.

pastu nak angkut2 stroller tu macam leceh je.
dah la sekarang ni musim hujan.
sementara nak bukak2 stroller, baju aku pun dah basah lencun dengan air hujan ye.
pastu kalau balik malam2 dengan budak kecit ni macam sangat saspen je.
sebab rumah aku kan ala2 kat lereng bukit ngan pinggir hutan.
memang best sebab sunyi, sejuk, aman dan damai.
cumanya bila tinggal berdua ni memang aura takut tu cam terlebih pulak.
so kesimpulannya, tiap ari balik keje adalah terus balik ke rumah ye.
berdua-duaan la kami anak beranak gaduh sesama sendiri kat umah tu.
haha.

i miss yu hubby T_T

Emir Danish @ 3 months

2011-05-26T20:29:00.001+08:00

As at today suda 3 bulan 3 minggu 4 hari pun usianya.
Emir Danish, si putera yang cerdik.

And the video below was taken on 12/5/2011 when he was 3 mths and 1 week++ old.

Baru nak belajar meniarap dengan betul.
And tup2 besoknya @ 3 mths 1 week and 5 dys old, dah selamat meniarap pun.

sangat comel hokey.
ai sebagai omak mestila cakap anak sendiri comel kan.
tapi memang kelakarlah tengok dia berusaha gigih nak meniarap tu ^_^

And tadi petang pergi ke Hospital Penawar for his 3 mths jab.
Actually dah nak masuk 4 bln pun ni.
Lewat sikit sebab aritu ingatkan Hubby balik minggu ni so bole pegi dengan dia skali.
tup2 kepulangan terpaksa dipostpone pulak...
So omaknya terpaksa angkut Danish secara solo gi hospital.

Time nurse bagi Rotavirus tu dia bole terover suka pulak.
Budak lain punyala susah nak makan ubat dia bole nyonyot syringe tu sampai bunyi cup cup cup ha.

gila kelakar.

Pastu bila dah abih terus menjerit marah.
Nurse ngan dokter siap gelak tengok.
terlebih suka ye.
Tapi time nak jab tu of cos la melalak kan dak kecit nih.
Tapi kejap je la.
Bila mommy dukung dia diam la balik.
Dokter bagi bekal ubat demam tapi aku tak bagi Danish makan pun.
Macam takut je nak bagi benda2 aneh kat budak tecik nih.
Nantila if demam betul2 baru bagi dia makan ubat tu kot.

After the checkup we went to McD.
Tapau mekciken yang promo buy 1 free 1 tu.
Takdela sedap mana pun tapi sebab benda free so belila jugak.

Pastu singgah kedai dobi amik comforter baru la balik rumah.
Tak pegi manapun.
Emir dah ngamuk2 nak tido so jangan harapla aku nak berwindow shopping bagai.
Kalau dulu jangan harapla aku nak balik awal gini.
telah berubah menjadik emak2 nampaknya nih T_T
Takpela nanti Hubby balik kehidupan akan menjadi normal balik ye.

Sebenarnya banyak yang mau dicerita di sini tapi seperti biasa alasan adalah bizi.
Cuma nak komen sikit pasal sterilizer.

I bought this Tommee Tippie sterilizer during sale last year.
jangan harapla aku nak beli barang mahal time tak sale.
haha.

Time tu Emir belum lahir lagi pun.
And I'm glad that I've bought this.
Walaupun agak besar tapi memang sangat bestlah.
Sebabnya, senang gila nak guna and boleh muat 4 storage bottle + 2 corong breastpump dalam satu masa.
Dahla dia bagi free 1 botol ngemuk kecik + 2 botol ngemuk besar + 1 thong + 1 brush.
Jimat duit aku kan.

And aku ni dah la bergerak secara solo so byk benda kena buat sendiri so pagi2 tu of cos la kekurangan masa nak sterilize banyak2 kali.
Kalau nak pegi opis tu selalunya memang aku bawak 4 or 5 storage bottle je so memang cukup2 la muat untuk sterilize 1 round.
Dah siap sterilize tu letak dalam air mesh bag, terus angkut gi opis.
Kompem kering and jimat masa.

And aku tatau brand lain macam mana tapi yg aku guna ni dia ada indicator C, E, S, H, 3, 2, 1 & 0. If 0 tu maksudnya ko dah kena sterilize balik la.

Ada sekali tu aku bukak time dia tgh kat C.
C tu kan maksudnya cooling so aku ingatkan dah agak2 sejuk la.
sekali, gile panas nak melecur kulit hokey.
patutnya kena tunggu sampai kuar no. 3 tapi dah tak menyabar camtu la.

oklah, nyambung lain kali sebab nak tido.
bye!

Emir Danish & Tragedi

2011-05-25T10:54:00.000+08:00

'nampak tak?

ye, itu adalah kaki Emir Danish.
tuan punya kaki tgh sibuk nenen so mommy dapat tangkap gambar kaki je la sebagai bukti 1st time Emir ke Johnny's JJ Tebrau.

and that's the day before Hubby went to offshore.
25/3/2011 kalau tak silap.

so, setelah ada si kecik ni jangan harapla dapat bercandlelight dinner bagai ye.
harus la sorang makan, sorang lagi ke hulu ke hilir mendodoi si anak.
dah la anak aku ni spesis suka menjerit menerajang.
harus terbalik kuah steamboat atas meja tu kalau dok memangku dia time makan.
terus jadi Emir perisa tomyam.

and takmo diletak dlm stroller yang tak bergerak pulak tu.
harus terkeluar anak tekak dia menjerit.
sebab tak nampak pemandangan gaknya.

So sementara aku bersteamboat, encik Hubby bawak la Emir jalan2 kat luar tu.
Pastu time turn Hubby makan, aku nenenkan si kecik ni.
Maka dapatla amik gambar seperti di atas.

oh, and telah berlaku tragedi time nak balik tu ye.
Keluar dari JJ, jalan2 ke kereta, start enjin, and tup tup, 'eh nape tanak hidup?

pukul 10.30 malam pulak tu.
dan la ngan mengangkut budak kecik ni ha.
sudahhhhh.

takkan nak tow kereta ngan aku ngan si kecik ni mengiringi.
dah la flight hubby besoknya tu.
so kalau hantar ke bengkel pun, takkan besoknya aku yang kena nguruskan semuanya kan?
gile saspen.

so Hubby called his fren, Jay, and ingat nak try guna jumper dulu.
Hopefully battery problem la so that aku takyah nak risau2 kemudian hari time Hubby takde kang.

About half an hour later, Jay pun sampai...
Try guna jumper tapi tanak hidup jugak.

adoi ai. nape la time2 gini dia buat hal pulak...
Tapi elok la time gini daripada time Hubby dah pegi kang baru dia buat hal lagi la naya aku kan.

so diorang saspek benda lain yang problem.
so tinggal la kete kat situ and Jay hantar kitorang balik...

Masuk dalam kete Jay, aku punya la nak gelak sakan.
kau tau lagu apa dia dengar?
keroncong hokeyyyy!
muka rock kapak tapi dengar lagu keroncong.
sangat tak sesuwaiii!!
mana la hubby aku dapat bespren yang sehati sejiwa ngan dia nihh?
wahahahahaha.
tak cukup tanah aku gelak.
tapi dalam hati je la.
sepanjang jalan balik ke PG tu aku dok tersengih yg dasat padahalnya tak pikir pulak kete yang rosak tinggal kat JJ tuh.
haha.

Aku pun jiwa klasik jugak tapi takde la sampai tahap nak dengar lagu keroncong ni wei.
Seriesly ni second time aku jumpa laki muka ganas yang suka lagu keroncong.
1st is my hubby and 2nd is Jay.
how on earth that they met each other la kan.
gile kelakar.

And then, besok paginya patut Hubby bertolak ke KB tapi tukar flight petang sebab nak nguruskan kereta dulu.

And ingatkan starter problem ke hapa tapi rupanya memang btul battery problem.
Sebabnya sejak beli dulu mati2 ingatkan kete ni guna bateri kering so telah mengabaikan je selama ni. Rupanya bateri basah ha.

sangat2 bersyukur benda ni jadik time Hubby still kat sini.
dah la aku ni kuat berjalan.
dibuatnya benda ni jadik time aku tgh bersoping ngan Danish tak ke naya.
harus aku call tok Abah yg duduk 90 km away utk dtg membantu.
hehe.

Tentang susu.

2011-05-14T21:10:00.000+08:00

Dah sebulan pun balik bekerja kat opis ni tapi arini baru sempat bercerita.
First day ninggalkan si tecik nanish kat rumah pengasuh adalah agak saspen.
Takut dia nangih tak berenti or mengamuk or tanak minum susu guna bottle.
dan yang paling takut adalah kalau something bad happen.
Maklumla, dengan segala cerita yang tak berapa best lately ni tentang pegasuh kanak-kanak kan.

So time lunch tengahari tu kelam kabut la aku ke rumah babysitter (BS) sebab nak tengok Danish. Sempat jugak la nyusukan dia sekali.

ai rindu hokey.
Maklumla selama bercuti ni dok ngadap muka dia 24 hrs kan.
And nasib baik EBM yang aku bekalkan dlm 13 oz tu cukup.
Hari first je la cukup 13 oz tu.
Hari kedua dan ketiga tak cukup pun.
Tengahari tu aku call the BS and she said susu tak cukup so dia tanya boleh tak kalau dia bagi formula.

Aku memang ada bekalkan susu formula jugak kat BS tu.
yela... in case kalau EBM tak cukup takkan nak biar anak aku kebuluran sampai ptg kan.
Sib baik aku dah pam kat opis so time lunch tu aku anto la EBM gi rumah dia.
nasib baik dekat.
2 km je from my office.

Tapi memang pun susu yang aku bekalkan pagi2 tu tak cukup.
Sebabnya, aku start pam 4 days before aku masuk keje.
Sehari pam sekali je and dapat la sikit...
Time pantang jangan harapla dapat simpan stok susu.
kan aku ada cakap si Emir ni kejenya ngempeng je ngan mommy.
So, dapat la 4 botol 3 oz...

Time pantang dulu, paling banyak pun dapat 2 oz je tiap kali pam.
tak mungkin la dapat lebih dari tu.
Time tu aku memang dah saspen dah.
rasa memang aku kena campur dengan formula gak sebab tak dapat pam susu banyak.
so, masa first time pam kat opis memang aku agak2 dapat dlm 2 oz gak la.
tup tup, dapat 5 oz sekali pam hokey!
terkejut ai.
And the second day dapat 9 oz!!
owhhh sangat gembira!
baru paham perasaan orang yang terover excited bila stok EBM dia banyak.

and alhamdulillah, berkat pam dengan konsisten 3 kali sehari = 17 oz++, anak aku dapat maintain menyusu badan sampai sekarang...

Tapi seriesly penat okeh.
Time first week masuk keje tu aku bangun kul 5.30 pg sebab takut lambat nak gi kerja. Start second week onwards baru bangun pukul 6 sebab dah dapat bajet masa.
And malam, dekat pukul 1 pg baru aku tido sebab nunggu nanish tidur baru aku boleh buat keje lain.

And when I said seriesly penat it is memang betul2 penat hokeh.
Aku pikirkan anak besok takde susu je yang buat semangat nak mengepam tu ada.
Kalau ikutkan memang takde tenaga la ko dah sehari suntuk keje kat opis, nguruskan anak, ke hulu ke hilir lagi, ngan keje yang berlambak kat rumah. Nak basuh botol, nak sterelize lagi. ngan laki aku yang takde kat sini. Ada one day tu aku basuh pinggan sambil dukung si Danish sebab time tu dah maghrib, dia plak takmo diletak, so buat kerja sambil menggendong dia la. wuhuhu... seriesly memang sangat bangga la ngan diri sendiri.

and thanks to botol Tommee Tippie yang comel itu juger anak aku tak ngalami nipple confusion sbb bentuknya yg ala-ala breast gitu.

'eh snanye nak cerita pasal hari-hari pertama balik ke opis tapi tercerita pasal EBM plak.
so terpaksa tukar tajuk jadi 'Tentang susu' ye.

Last but not least, ini adalah gambo latest budak tecik bam2 yang kencingkan mommy pagi tadi time nak gi opis.
Sib baik tak kena baju.
Tapinya abih basah lencun tilam aku.
bertuahnye Emir ^_^

muka tak bersalah.
haha.

the hectic life.

2011-05-03T20:10:00.000+08:00

I'm so menat hokey.
menat!
bizi melampau.
ngan life yang veri d hectic.
di opis juga di rumah.

And I've just finished handling another DI case last week.
sangat menci la kalau ada cases yang macam nih.
It will take days and days to settle and mengerah segala tenaga yang ada.
Macam aritu, we stay up for almost 14 hrs in the DI sitting (Domestic Inquiry) or what we called as 'mahkamah syarikat'. Dari breakfes, lunch, minum petang membawak ke dinner pun dalam meeting room tu you! Sampai rumah of cos dah lewat malam and berasa sangat sedeh sebab aku kena balik sendiri sebab Hubby still kat offshore.

Tu belum campur the pre and post DI thing.
Memang super penat and kering kontang dah otak aku nih.
'oo kau ingat sonang yo nak mencarik kesalahan orang nih?

and tomorrow I have a counseling session for a misconduct case.
Kot kalo aku ni sedia minat benda2 gini memang dari dulu dah aku amik law tuh.
Tak payah nak sesusah belajar Physics, Add Math bagai.
Baik aku bergoyang ~~pinggul~~ kaki kat kelas sastera time form 4, form 5 dulu.
Tapi malangnya aku memang tak pernah and tak teringin pun nak minat.
Tapi camne ntah bole terlibat jugak dengan benda2 gini.

And it won't matter much la kalau aku ni still single mingle lagi kan.
Masalahnya, aku ni omak beranak satu yang hidup sendiri utk beberapa bulan nih.
Sangat takut kalau the babysitter takmo menjaga cik baby if aku terpaksa berovertime sampai lewat2 mlm gitu kan tanpa di warning terlebih dahulu.

And I'm officially closed for any orders until June 2011 ye.
Mungkin akan tutup kaunter lebih lama lagi tapi bergantung pada keadaan la.
Tak mungkin la dapat buat guestbook dengan keadaan berkejar-kejaran macam ni.
harus aku tercicir si Emir kat tengah jalan kang.
kang bila laki aku balik tanye anak dia mana, bole tak jawab, 'eh lupe plak letak mana yeh.
omak yang sangat bizi ngan kehidupan duniawi.

and my baby is entering his 3-months stage today.
time dia jab 2 bulan aritu pun tak sempat la mau cerita di sini.
he's getting more and more adorable everyday.
kalau dia nangih pun aku akan biar je dulu sebab sangat best dengar bunyi ngek-ngek-nging-ding-ding-muka-cebik2 dia tuh.
omak dia sempat bergelak sakan sebelum operasi pujuk-memujuk berlaku.

haha.

tapi memang la.
macam sangat tak puas menggomol-gomol-cium2-pipi-bam2 tiap hari and tetiba ni dah membesar dengan jayanya pulak...
owhh memang sangat cepat ye masa berlalu.
...

dearie Emir, plis grow up slowly.
Mommy mau nikmati saat2 terindah membesarkan kamu nih..

and encik baby got this from his beloved auntie!
I've been meaning to buy this thing for ages tapi asik takde stok je kat Littlewhiz tu and tup2 bila my sis datang sini last week, she brought along this thing.
ooo sib baik la mommy tak beli dulu kan Emir.

thanks nyah ^_^

congrates papa!

2011-04-23T00:32:00.001+08:00

It is Sunday.
But like what Hypenated L said, sometimes Sunday can be a not so "sunny" day..

sometimes it's dark..
sometimes it rains..

sometimes you're just angry..
sometimes you're just weepy..
sometimes..

Well, sometimes you just can't finish what you started and that makes me mad and sad.
...

so, Hubby is finally promoted to be the Project Manager.
alhamdulillah... rezeki anak...
'kan orang cakap, setiap anak itu datang dgn rezeki dia yang tersendiri.. ^_^

Cumanya, kami yang tinggal di sini harus berkorban sedikitlah.
Hubby has to go offshore on and off sampai la projek tu abih.
and then sambung projek lain pulak.
hummm.
sbenarnya aku lebih suka dia kerja yang biasa2, seperti waktu mula2 aku kenali dia dahulu.

the money is enough and life is much simpler.
and we lived together.
...

but deep down inside I know it's never enough for my ambitious, Sagittarian hubby.

Nak kata sedeh, memang la sedeh.
Tapi itu sebenarnya mengajar kita jadi lebih tabah, berani, dan kuat hadapi semuanya..
from a dependable person to an independent woman.

Tapi, rumah memang mcm kapal karam la.
kete pun tak berbasuh.
nak jemput kawan-kawan datang rumah pun segan.
tak mungkin la sempat nak mengemas sendirian nih.
lagi baik aku layan si kecil Emir.
kesian dia... dah la dapat bermanja ngan mommy waktu malam je kan.
so ujung bulan nanti bila papa balik baru kita start operasi ngemas2 balik ya Emir =p

i miss u hubby...

2011-04-16T20:56:00.000+08:00

ai tengok hindustan hokey.
aritu citer Hum Tum.
pastu citer Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega.. <-- tergeliat lidah aku nak sebut citer nih
kalau encik Hubby tau ni mesti dia kagum sambil gelak gumbira.
sebabnya, time dia kat rumah, jangan harapla dapat nengok citer lain.
kalau tak tengok bola kompem akan tengok citer hindustan kat Astro nuu.
gile sakit ati kalau dia bukak channel tu.
apsal ntah aku bole jadi anti sangat tu.
but seriesly aku tatau pun apa yang best ngan cerita2 gitu.

kadang-kadang kalau dia kemaruk sangat nak tengok Hindustan, aku akan pura-pura tido or buat keje lain.
tanda protes la konon.
and dia tau aku memang sangat2 tak suka dengan cerita2 itu.
tapi ni nape ntah tetiba bole terbukak plak channel tu and tetiba bole tertengok sampai abis and bole tersuka.
...

haha.

i miss u hubby.

of Motherhood, Life & Job

2011-04-09T20:19:00.004+08:00

I’ve been meaning to blog for ages now but well, life has gotten in the way.
Juggling with motherhood, my 8-to-5 job dan segala yang lain di kiri dan kanan.
owh... sgt bizi hokey!

I'm not saying that mengadap hidup yang baru ini sangat menyusahkan sebab tiap kali tatap wajah si anak akan automatik buat diri rasa hepi tersengih2.
Tapi, handling little Emir plus going back to work after 2 mths of confinement leave without encik Hubby around adalah quite a challenging job.

First day masuk keje pun dah kena handle case besar yg buat kepala berpinar2.

ngan aku yang nak prektis drive balik setelah dekat setahun tak memandu...
ngan nak prektis pujuk Emir kalau dia melalak dalam car seat time tgh drive...
ngan nak bangun pagi siapkan sumenye sendiri, kelam-kabut nak mandi, siapkan Emir, tukar diapers, packing susu, packing beg mommy, sterilize botol2 sume tu...
and kalau Emir dah bangun merengek2 harus aku ngendong si kecil tu sambil buat keje sbelah tangan.
sib baik setakat ni berjaya mandi sebelum dia bangun iaitu pada pukul 5.45 pg. kot tak, memang aku mandi2 ayam je la.

and nak pam susu ngan konsisten 4 times a day lagi...
ooo that's the max oke.
tak mungkin la akan larat nak pam lebih dari tu sebab gile penat!
tapi kerana anak kan, aku gigihkan jugak.
so, itulah emak namanya.

And even aku balik keje pukul 5 lebih pun tetap akan sampai rumah dekat pukul 7 padahalnya rumah cuma dlm 10 km je dari opis.
ke hulu ke hilir berpusing2, amik Emir kat babysitter, gi isi minyak, beli makanan utk dinner, etc etc.

yes, hidup memang agak rumit when hubby is not around so cepat la balik ye papa.
mommy and Emir miss u soooo much!!!

selamat tinggal cuti...

2011-04-07T20:36:00.000+08:00

so, besok adalah keja ye.
selamat tinggal kehidupan yang gile heaven dok umah mengulit si kecil Emir sambil tengok tv makan eskrim...
*wave*

kita jumpa lagi insya allah beberapa tahun akan datang for little A-S and little Z-M.
gila kau nama anak no. 2 and no. 3 pon dah siap2 prepare nih.
hehe.

Semalam jalan2 ngan my mom and little Emir ke 4 shopping complex, konon-kononya mau carik baju baru.
Baju2 lama untuk ke opis ada la selai dua yang aku masih boleh pakai tapi yang lain adalah super sempit hokey!
T_T T_T

Mula2 try saiz S, langsung la mcm nangka bungkus.
Terus sedar diri maka try saiz M.
Tapi tersangkut plak kat atas tu.. eh.
Slow2 capai saiz L dan, uwaaa........ muat2 je weh!

Mengapekah 7 kilo yang degil ni susah betul nak ilang eh?
Merasa la kau pakai baju saiz L pasni ~~and sampai bila2~~ T____T
gedik sgt beli banyak2 baju saiz S dulu kansss.

Mungkin perasaan adalah body lepas bersalin akan maintain slim melim macam dulu...
hoh! mak suh pakai bengkung ko tanak... panas la melekit la itu la ini la. degil sgt memang mcm tu kannn. pastu makan sume nak sedap je. stok coklat berbungkus2 kat umah tu ha. tak kira plak eskrim Wall's berkotak2 kat fridge tu. hoh hohhh!!

hubby oo hubby, cepatla balik... bleh neman cyg joging tepi tasik tu hubby.
tak pun gi gym.
eh tapi nanish tecik ni nak letak mana plak.
tetiba lupe daratan jap.

setelah tamat berpantang...

2011-04-01T08:11:00.001+08:00

'nampak tak?
hehe.
Perasmian sempena tamat berpantang 42 hari.
Pertama kali kembali jejakkan kaki ke Old Town dan Tesco dan kali ini bersama si kecil ini ^_^

Gigih oke papa dia nak pakai stroller tu.
Mesti Emir heran kena selubung ngan selimut ngan topi bagai.
Aku cakap besok2 je la baru guna stroller sbb nak kuar kejap je nih.
Lagipun dah pukul 8 mlm so kang nak baca manual, nak mengejas2 kang makin lambat plak. 'kan org ckp tak bape elok bwk baby kuar mlm kan.

tapi, takkkkk.
seboleh2 dia nak rasmikan stroller tu mlm ni jugak.
takut benor gaknya mommy yg rasmikan dulu.
haha.

So lepas operasi punggah2-box-carik-manual-stroller-tapi-tak-jumpa, dia pun pandai-pandai la sendiri sampai berpeluh2 berpusing2 nak mencarik cara nak recline stroller tu. sib baik la boleh, kot tak memang tak jadik kuar la mlm tu gamaknya.

so, 1st time juger mommy makai heels balik setelah 8 bln makai kasut leper.
da bole buang da kasut2 leper tuh.
hehe berlagak jap.

see?
stroller tu bwh kawalan papa tau. mama takleh kacau.
haha.

Malam tu pertama kali juger makan mi kari balik.
owhhh... sedap sungguh la kat tekak aku.

And besoknya aku ngan Emir balik kg sbb hubby gi offshore for a few days.
Tak mungkin la Tok Abah ngan Tok Mama bg Emir dok sini berdua je ngan mommy.

So, kat kg of cos telah dapat makan yang sedap2.
tomyam seafood...
air kelapa muda gula mlk...
asam pedas ikan merah...
hoh~ mmg heaven yo!

Maka telah melantak tak hingat sebab kata dah abis pantang kan.
Nasib baik Emir ok jek.
gaknya sebab dari dalam perut mommy dulu Emir dah biasa mkn pedas2 ye.
Tapi time tu aku tak minum ais lagi la sebab takut baby kembung.
Yang air kelapa tu org ckp takleh minum tapi before ni aku tatau, so telah minum.

tapi btul ke takleh minum yeh?
sbb ptg ni bercadang nak gi Rambah nak beli air kelapa tu lagi.

And sekarang dah 50++ hari baru minum ais skit sebab aritu gi JJ nampak Starbuck yg sedap tu maka telah beli.

tetiba teringat kat encik hubby yg suka gile ngan ice blended Starbuck tuh.
tetiba rindu.
aaaa.... T_T

Part 1 - Delivery of Emir Danish

2011-03-30T09:14:00.001+08:00

ok, I'm writing again.
sebab kalau tunggu lebih lama lagi mungkin akan terus hilang ingatan tentang kisah bersalin.

'hoh, mana ada orang lain yg lupa camne sakit bersalin mcm aku ni weh?

Sebenarnya datang semangat mau menulis lepas baca entry Hannah Johary dan Azie. Kalau takde yang memberi semangat, memang sampai ke sudah aku tangguh je nak bercerita tentang kisah yang ini.

Macam kisah wedding aku aritu la.
kan sampai sekarang, sampai aku dah terberanak ni pun tak abih lagi cerita =p

So, to begin with, aku adalah bersalin di Hospital Penawar under Dr Suhaimi bertemankan encik Hubby yang setia menanti dari awal hingga ke akhir.
'oh my, i love yuh soooo much hubby! ok, tetiba rindu T_T

Mula-mula dulu memang bercadang mau bersalin di HSI sajer.
Tapi sebab banyak cerita yang tak berapa enak sampai ke telinga, maka telah meletak 3 hospital sahaja dalam shortlist kami ---> Puteri Specialist, Penawar Hospital and Kluang Specialist.

By the way, EDD sepatutnya between 14th - 16th February.
Bila dah bulan ke-8, we went for weekly checkup at Penawar Hospital sebab itu yang paling dekat dengan rumah and opis. Maklumla, kat opis tu kalau nak amik timeoff max pun 2hrs je.

And during checkup on week 36, the doctor advised us to go for early delivery that's on 2/2/2011 (week 38)...

Sebabnya, time tu baby tgh dok melintang lagi and the doctor said, kita tengok 2 weeks lagi and if kepala baby dapat turun bawah, then kita induce. If dlm week 38 tu dia turun bawah, tak payah nak tunggu EDD sebab takut dia dok berpusing jadi melintang balik. Lagipun aku ada fibroid and that thing duduk kat bwh so takut if baby besar, tak lepas nak keluar normal. And time Dr Suhaimi scan, nampak tali pusat dia berlilit kat bawah and if keadaan ni berterusan, mmg totally takleh bersalin normal and have to go for c-sect. But as the doctor said, tengok lagi 2 weeks mcm mana... Aku ok jek sebab tarikh yang best.

'hoho bole gitu?
mcm takde perasaan je pompuan ni kan sebab dok pikir pasal benda best je.

But to tell u the truth, aku memang takde perasaan takut, saspen ke hape. rasa macam delivery tu adalah sesuatu yang biasa. And like i said before, maybe sebab aku pernah masuk hospital sebelum ni so perasaan takut tu lansung takde.

Anyway, lepas balik dari checkup tu kitorang mcm tak berapa puas hati so mcm nak try refer kat doktor lain. So terus la ke Kluang to see Dr Luqman Hakim...

He's a very nice doctor.
nice and handsome.
hehe.

Anyway, he has different view from Dr Suhaimi.
Time scan nampak tali pusat berlilit 2x kat leher.
Terkejut weh!
Macam the umbilical cord tu ada kat memanalah.
And he said, baby melintang takleh pusing ke bawah sbb tali pusat tu la.
But apa2 pun memang kena tunggu time delivery nanti baru boleh decide.
And dia suruh try normal dulu if tak boleh baru la go for c-sect.

ceh.
takde maknanya la aku nak rasa dedua jenis sakit tu kan so aku rasa better c-sect terus. tapi dia macam lebih encourage to go for normal delivery first.

And tetiba aku teringat pantang orang dulu2 pasal sotong.
'kan orang ckp, kalo preknen ni jangan makan sotong and pegaga kononnya nanti tali pusat berlilit camtu la. Tapinya aku telah makan dedua benda tu ngan dasat sebab tu memang my fav food and aku pulak jenis yg tak brape nak percaya pantang2 mcm ni.
hehe.
tapi aku tak ckp kat Hubby la kang dia bicing lak.

But we're quite worried dgn umbilical cord problem tu.
Takut plak kalau aku byk bergerak dia makin berlilit so telah jln secara slow2 padahal takde kaitan pun. Tapi dokter tu mcm rilek je. Dia cakap mcm benda ni something yg normal je and nothing to worry about.
~hoh, sgt confident.

Then dlm 28/1 tu patutnya kena jumpa Dr Suhaimi lagi for usual checkup.
tup tup, dlm 26-27/1 tu tetiba aku rasa kaki adalah super bengkak yg lain macam.
rasa macam tak berapa boleh nak jln elok2.

Then balik keja kami terus ke klinik dekat dengan umah tu.
The doc said better aku refer terus kat my gynae sbb aku pun ckp kat dia mcm banyak plak air keluar kat bawah tu.
macam agak suspicious.
takut air ketuban jek.

Then aku cakap kat hubby, besok je la pegi sbb mcm ok je lagik.
takde sakit apapun.
Tapi dokter tu mcm suh pegi hospital mlm tu jugak sbb kat situ takde equipment utk cek overall. Hubby plak takyah cakap la... kalau dokter tak suh pegi pun memang dia kompem akan angkut aku gi spital mlm tu jugak. Dia plak yg terover saspen drp aku. Aku cakap kat dia, better balik rumah mandi, siap2 dulu baru gi spital sbb kang kalau betul terberanak mlm ni at least dah ready semua, tak payah nak patah balik rumah dah.

And since rumah kitorang kat area tu jugak, so telah balik la ke rumah utk amik hospital bag and everything.

ye, aku memang tak letak hospital bag tu dlm kete lagi sebab tak sempat ngemas.
haha. gile tak prepare.

then dah siap mandi, bersolek sume baru la kami ke hospital...

and the story shall be continued later ye.
sebab tu la aku tak sempat nak tepek cerita bersalin ni awal2 dulu sebab aku lebih suka cerita2 sebegini dibuat secara detail. entah bape part la baru setel ni kang padahalnya kalo nak ikutkan takde saspen mana pun.

okeh, to be continued...

the day he went away...

2011-03-25T11:20:00.001+08:00

Arini adalah super sedeh sebab Hubby balik for one day and went again for another one whole month.

yes, ONE WHOLE MONTH!
the longest since we knew each other T_____________T

of cos pada mulanya lansung tak rasa apa sebab si dia masih di depan mata.
borak2 itu ini and petang tadi ngantar ke airport, on the way tu tiba2 bole plak aku tersebak dan terus ternangih.

meleleh mencurah2 air mata ni weh.
dah la kawan dia ada sekali tuh.
nasib baik aku dok kat seat belakang ngan si kecik nih so bole cover2 skit.
haha.
...

ooo hubby... how am i gonna live without yu for one whole month nihhhh???
T_T T_T

kerana tiba2 baru perasan bahawa saya adalah perempuan yang sangat-sangat bergantung pada suami utk melakukan semuanya... sejak bertunang hingga kini, boleh dikira dengan jari berapa kali saya jadi tukang bukak pintu rumah dan pagar. maka tiba2 telah jadi sangat takut kini. he's always there to do almost everything for me... dan mungkin sebab itu, when he's not around, everything messed up. serasa macam hilang sebelah kaki dan tangan saya T_T

dan mood utk balik bekerja mmg lansung takde.
keja? ooo menatang apekah itu?
huuu~
...

sedehnya la kena drive sendiri...
sedehnya kena ngantar Emir ke babysitter for the 1st time sendiri...
sedeh + takutnya kena bukak gate, dok umah, makan sorang2 nih...
sedehnya kena buat keja2 rumah sendiri...
sedehnya kena tido sendiri...
aaaaa!!!

thank God ada si kecil Emir Danish peneman mommy.
kalau tak, harus aku berenti keja 24hrs nih pastu dok terperap dalam rumah.
ahaks.

Begini rupanya perasaan laki-bini yg dok jauh2 ye...
Ada opismate aku tu, laki dia based kat offshore Turkmenistan.
dah la offshore tu mmg takde line henpon.
internet pun putus2.
duit banyak tapi sangat kesian.
3 bln sekali baru balik M'sia.
tu pun kalau dapat la.
gile ah ding dong!
how can she survive dgn hidup yg macam tu kan...
and my sis pun selalu kena pegi offshore. her husband pulak pegi on daily basis.
maybe awal2 dulu susah kot tapi ni dah lama2 dah lali gaknya.
tapi aku rasa lama mcm mana pun aku tetap akan rasa susah.
tak mungkin la akan jadi lali.

oh, tetiba bersyukur laki aku cuma pegi on-off sajer.
hopefully pasni takyah la pegi lagi ye hubby...
sebab walaupun dah pegi banyak kali ni tapi perasaannya masih sangat-sangat-sangat susah, takut dan sedeh + rindu melampau bila hubby takde... T_T

cepatla balik

2011-03-22T18:38:00.001+08:00

papa oo papa cepatla balik
mama ngan Emir menat la dok umah je nih
'eh, snanye mama dah bwk pegi JJ, Giant, Tesco, pjabat pos, bank, Tbg Haji, etc2 pun. hehe.

Tapi, takde orang nak nolong buangkan sampah ni papa
mop lantai, vacuum rumah...
ooo papa cepatla balikkkk!!!
T_T

adoi ai.
Hubby telah ke offshore lagi dan tinggal berdua ngan encik baby yg baru lepas hari adalah super unspeakable!

Nak makan susah, mandi susah, buat kerja susah, nak ke sana kumari pun susah.
'oh oh jangan cakap susah ya tapi adalah sedikit rumit.

tiap kali rasa mau mengeluh pun selalu ngingatkan diri sendiri betapa ramai orang kat luar sana yg sangat2 susah dapat anak, and how comel and veriii adorable my baby is, so terus jadi hepi balik, gelak2 cium2 gomol pipi si anak yang bam2 ~~sampai dia nangih~~ and cik puan mommy pun tak jadi mengeluh. haha.

And hubby said bln 5 ni nak gi jalan.
lepas dia setel project yang itu la.
so ke mana yang sesuai utk baby berumur 4 bulan ya?
Pulau/pantai adalah sangat best tapi macam tak berapa suitable sebab dia sangat kecik lagi. Nanti dah besar tak ingatpun penah pegi pulau yg ini.

Nak naik flight berjalan2 pun mcm, eh, lecehnya.
naik kereta jelah ya sayang.
Paling senang adalah ke Mlk.
tempat feveret ~~mommy~~ sepanjang zaman.
haha.
...

ooo papa ooooooo cepatla balik
mama + Emir adalah super duper rindu ngan papa nihhh T____T

'komen2 di entry2 lalu akan direply soon. insya allah...

Baby Stuff : Baby Monitor

2011-03-19T10:33:00.000+08:00

I'm thinking of buying this thing.
Baby monitor.
Sebabnya, sangat kelam kabut la kalau buat keja kat dapur tu and at the same time berlari-larian mau jenguk si anak kat bilik setiap minit takut dia terjaga.

'hoh, tak tenang oke aku nak nak mandi manda lama skit ngan anak kecik yang tak berjaga kat luar tu.

Dan kini, encik baby adalah sangat kuat menerajang.
So, adalah paling takut kalau selimut kat badan tu naik tutup kepala macam yang selalu dia buat tu.

Takpun kalau dia menangih ngan dasat sampai muntah2 gitu.

Dia dah la tengah nak meniarap je ni.
So kan kalau sorang2 akan menangih and berusaha bergolek2 sampai tertiarap sendiri.
Ngan selimut yang banyak di keliling, maka aktiviti meniarap secara solo adalah agak menakutkan.

So, baby monitor tu macam sangat penting.
Lebih2 lagi hubby tengah quite busy ngan his offshore works so harus la kami anak-beranak selalu ditinggal-tinggalkan di sini ye.

tiba2 kena belajar berdikari sendiri T_T
'ahhh sedeh, sedehhh...

Tapi bak kata my ex-housemate (husben dia pun slalu kena pegi offshore) : lebih baik dia pegi tengah laut nuu sbb kat sana takde pompuan. duit pun dapat banyak. kalo kena outstation kat daratan ni kan lebih horror sbb pompuan keliling pinggang.

hehe.

Tapi time tengah cuti berpantang ni takpe lagi.

yang aku guna...

2011-03-15T20:02:00.000+08:00

37 hari suda... dan kisah delivery pun belum ditulis lagi.
macam dah tak berapa nak ingat pun ader.
ahaks.

Tapi hari ini pun bukan mau bercerita tentang yang itu.
Tapi kisah lain.
Tentang beberapa barang yang aku guna.
barang baby dan barang mommy.
Sebab ramai yang suda bertanya.
And aku memang akan menulis jugak, simpan buat peringatan di masa2 depan... kot ada rezeki bole guna time adik2 Emir nanti =p.

Disclaimer : The post in this blog is the opinion of the writer and is not intended to malign any religion, ethnic group, club, organization, company, or individual.

So first thing first is the baby diapers.
I've used Pet Pet, Drypers and Huggies and antara ketiga-tiga tu, sgt berpuas hatilah dgn Huggies.

Before bersalin dulu, pegi Baby Fair and ada promo utk Pet Pet, and at that time kitorg memang lansung tatau diapers mana paling bagus, so tengok orang lain beli yang itu so kitorg pun ikut main beli je la.

Then baru terpikir nak msg my sis, tanya mana brand yang paling best.
And she said Huggies.
So nasib baik la beli 2 pack je.
1 pack of NB and another one is S size.
Since aku ngan Hubby memang tak penah nak amik tau hal2 diapers ni so kitorg memang tatau berapa pack yg sepatutnya kena beli utk baby dlm pantang.
And setakat hari ini, hari yg ke-37, baby has used 1 pack of NB and 3 pack of S size.

Mamy Poko pun ok jugak cuma quite expensive la.
Lagipun baby baru lahir sgt la byk berak and kencing so pada aku, pilihan terbaik memang Huggies sebab dia adalah murahan, tak leaking and tahan lama compared to the other brand. Baby pun tak kena ruam.

Pet Pet adalah sgt mudah leaking.
Dulu time guna tu, kalau tukar diapers Emir mmg kena siap2 tukar baju ngan seluar dia sekali. Drypers pun kdg2 leaking gak but still better than Pet Pet la.

ok, next one is jamu.
As per this entry, I used Nona Roguy (NR) time berpantang.
And tatau la kot orang lain but it does works for me.
Maksud aku bukan dari segi kekurusan sebab aku belum kurus pun lagi.
Tapi ia membuat badan aku rasa lebih segar dan sihat.
uiii... ko ingat senang ke nak maintain segar and sihat kalo kena berjaga mlm berhari2 ni weh??

Dan harga dia tak mahal mana pun.
If u buy 1 set tu dlm RM290 je tapi aku tak beli full set la sebab ada benda yang aku nak beli lebih and ada benda yg aku tanak guna mcm lulur tu.
Tapi yang paling best adalah Minyak Herbanika, Minyak Berubat Herba and pil Phytonatal dia.

Aku siap beli 2 botol besar ha.
Mak bidan tu pun guna minyak tu utk urut aku and most probably sbb tu la lepas 6 hari berurut, berat badan aku turun dgn sgt2 byk which is about 14 kg. Maybe water and air retention kat badan aku ni dapat berjalan lancar la tu kot.

Phytonatal tu pulak aku baru start makan 4 hari lepas sebab kalau makan awal2 takut perut baby tak tahan or maybe akan kena jaundice yg teruk so lepas 30 hari bersalin baru aku mula mkn.

And memang best la sebab before this aku ingatkan darah nifas tu dah abih kuar and tinggal saki baki je so aku pun start pakai pantyliner la tapi dlm hati heran jugak kenapa darah beku macam tak keluar sgt.

Then bila start makan pil tu, esoknya baru darah nifas tu keluar banyak. Berketul-ketul plak tu. And perut memang rasa lega sangat. Itupun aku cuma mkn 2 biji sehari sebab aku BF Danish so takut dia tak tahan pulak kan...

Aku malas nak komen banyak2 pasal brand ni sebab kat blog lain mcm BidanBersalin and Iceblessedbeauty mmg dah cukup banyak review dia. My sis and my mom adalah pengguna NR jugak and diorang kekal sihat and cergas sampai skarang.

And this is my adik yang slalu kena pegi offshore berhari2 tu ngan her hubby wif little Syaura yg veri comel ^_^

Apa yang aku bole simpulkan adalah, NR is totally best!
hehe terpromote jap.

And as for the lulur/scrub, aku guna lulur Putri Binari perisa jamu.
Lulur ni je la yang sesuai dengan kulit aku and bau dia ok.
Kalau NR punya lulur tu aku tak tahan sgt bau dia.

And the 3rd item is tungku moden bermagnet.
ye, walaupun aku berbengkung cuma beberapa hari tapi aku adalah bertungku dengan taat sekali.

Sangat best oke aktiviti bertungku ni especially waktu lepas mandi.
Aku bertungku 2 kali sehari, pagi + malam.
And memang berbaloi la aku beli tungku moden ni kan sebab sangat2 mudah nak guna and tahan lama. Harga dia pun tak mahal mana. Kalau korang rajin survey online mesti dpt je harga yg murah.

And the last item yg aku nak review is the baby's soap.
I used Sebamed Liquid Cleanser for Danish.

Before bersalin aritu memang dah beli Johnson's Baby Top-To-Toe Wash tu tapi bila guna kat Danish kulit dia mcm merah2 and keluar ruam.
Nasib baik la aku beli botol kecik je.
Tapi banyak plak tu Emir dpt hadiah baby hamper yang isi pelbagai jenis bath set.
Nanti bila dah besar skit dalam 7, 8 bln kang baru boleh guna yang lain kot.
Mak bidan ngan nurse kat KK tu pun sibuk la suh guna yg ni sebab it's the only brand yg sesuai utk newborn so aku pun ngikutkan je la. Tapi syampu aku tak beli la sebab tatau lagi nak botakkan ke tak kepala Danish nih.

Semalam Hubby balik sini and kitorg pegi Guardian beli brg keperluan skit and suddenly nampak Sebamed Liquid Wash ni RM59.90 for 1000ml and dpt free 200ml + Baby Lotion + Children Shampoo. Sangat berbaloi so telah beli on d spot sbb slalunya yg 200ml tu pun harga dia dah RM19.90.

wuhuhu~ mommy punya sabun pun harga doploh inggit je ni nak oi...

Tapi tu la orang cakap, kerana anak apapun sanggup, kan.
^_^

And after 36 days of confinement, baru la jejakkan kaki kat kedai ha.
So aku pun ngangkut segala jenis coklat kat Guardian tu.
Sangat best oke perasaan ittew!
haha.
tapi memang kagum la kat diri sendiri sebab for the first time in life aku tak gi soping selama 36 hari T_T

1 month old!

2011-03-05T18:00:00.000+08:00

My little angel is one month old, 4.1 kg today.
hepi beday dear...

dah kena jab pun.
Hepatitis B 2nd dose.

Tadi timbang kat KK, berat aku telah menjadi 54.6 kg.
gile terkejut okeh.
adekah berat telah turun sebanyak 20 kg selama 30 hari?
So with this, mommy pun mendeclarekan diri bebas dari berpantang... yey!
Walopon berpantang sbenarnya adalah 44 hari tapi aku tatau apa yg nak dipantangkan lagi.
*hoh macam la selama ni ko berpantang sgt yer*

Dan operasi berbengkung yg dulu sangat la berkobar2 pun telah tidak berjaya...
walau setiap hari cakap pada diri sendiri besok berazam mau berbengkung tapi hakikatnya cuma 6 hari sajer berjaya melilit di perut dan pinggang T_T
sangat takde masa okeh!
Emir Danish ngambil semua masa yang ada.
*uk, alasan*

Time dia tidur, mommy yang letih longlai ni pun ikut menidurkan diri.
takpun mengonlinekan diri macam sekarang nih.
takpun sibuk2 membuat design kat Photoshop tu.
hoh hoh!

And lansung tak sempat mengepam juger.
awal2 dulu sempat la sebab cik baby tidur di siang hari.
tapi sekarang nan ado okeh.
dan stok pun telah abih diguna semuanya.
cik Emir Danish adalah mengempeng ngan mommy 24 hrs a day.
*mengempeng = melekat*

Malam tadi straight dari pukul 12 sampai 5 pg dia dok nenen je.
bukan minum susu sgt pun cuma dia nak benda tu ada kat mulut dia.
kebas + sengal2 dah tgn aku.
bila aku lepas je dia nangih.
camne aku nak tidur weh??
...

I don't know why tapi sejak elok dari jaundice aritu, memang dia adalah minum susu + melalak ngan dasat. celik mata je melalak mau susu. and sejam lebih plak tu menyusu. macam dukung 4 kilo beras kat tgn selama sejam. berehat beberapa minit and dia nak susu balik. huuu... kesabaran je la... mmg keras kejung dah tgn aku. 'mcm mana la nak ada masa mengepam utk simpan stok nih?

Emir Danish dalam ring sling from JumpSacBaby given by my sis.
Kena gigit nyamuk kat dahi sebab mommy tak serkup ngan kelambu sebab mommy telah ikut tertidur time dia mengempeng tu.

That ring sling adalah veri cantek and convenient.
Time tidur dia sangat selesa dok kat dalam tu tapi time jaga jangan harap la.
Dia lebih suka cik mommy mendukung guna tulang 4 kerat nih T_T
...

So, nex week berazam mau beli sebijik thermometer.
Sebijik lagi bantal.
Nasal aspirator.
Satu lagi changing mat.
Satu set mattress lagi utk letak kat rumah babysitter.
'ke tak payah eh?
and sebijik laserjet printer sempena PC Expo.
*tetibe*

and this book helps a lot during my confinement period.
so kalau ada sesapa yang rajin membaca, u got to have dis book okeh.
sangat membantu ^_^
tapi kalau ko bukan ulat buku, tak payah la beli. membazir je.
review tentang buku adalah dlm next2 entry. hehe.

I wish...

2011-03-01T21:32:00.000+08:00

I wish I could quit my job and be one of those work-at-home-mothers (WAHM).
mcm Sue, or Sya, or Ernie, or Fizah, or my other MMU frens...

or maybe I could at least be a teacher.
mcm Oteh, or Huda, or Marina, or my mum...

huuu... setelah menjadi mommy kepada cik Emir Danish, perasaan takmo-berkerja-9-jam-sehari tu makin membuak2 la.

Seriesly takde keinginan lansung nak balik berkerja kat opis tu walopon keja yang sekarang ineh adalah jauh lebih selesa daripada yang dulu. And I need the job for the sake of bonus and the good medical benefit.

'haha bole gitu?

By being a WAHM or a teacher of course I'll get a much lower salary, and a lot less benefit, but... who cares? Memasak, mengemas dan menjaga encik baby dan encik Hubby nampak lebih tempting.

'wooo statement tak hingat plak kan macam la opismate aku tak baca blog nih =p

But I feel like the guy in Bedazzled.
Walaupun dapat segala yang kita mintak tapi setiap kali pun memang takkan berpuas hati lah. Dulu waktu di Finance, sentiasa la berdoa dapat ke dept lain yang lebih mudah dan seronok.

I lovesss Maths but Accounts adalah sesuatu yang berbeza.
Tak susah mana pun tapi macam sangat tertekan la weh nak membalancekan yang itu tiap2 bulan. Pastu rasa macam baru setel yang bulan lepas tiba2 dah kena start balik utk bln ni... dan mcm sangat berterabur sebab ramai sangat org yang handle. and kena berurusan dengan orang2 Finance yang... ok, u know what I mean.

maybe it's just not my thing.

Then tiba2 dapat ke HR.
Walaupun suda jauh dari dept yang menyesakkan fikiran, tapi db dan cr masih tetap berjalan coz I have to handle the payroll from A-Z. dan tambah lagi kena handle compensation and benefit dengan segala kerenah pekerja.

and the taxes for the expatriates...

Time nak closing tu malam2 la baru balik umah.
Weekend pun datang keje okeh.
So telah berdoa lagi untuk dapat sesuatu yang lebih mudah, untuk aku dan famili.

Dan alhamdulillah, dapat ke section lain...
and for the first time in life aku dapat balik pukul 5.10.
heaven ye kawan2.

Tup2 ada plak section baru ditubuhkan dan kekurangan staff di situ.
So aku dan 3 exec lagi telah jadi perintis menjalankan kerja2 baru di situ.
which btw, I don't really like sebab segalanya adalah serba-serbi baru and I've got to do things that is sooo not me contohnya mcm kaunseling staff, handling IR cases, court cases, staff welfares and visits, problems, interviews and all... tapi still heaven la kan sebab dapat balik on time juger.

'ann and watie, sile bayangkan ai conseling staff yer. adakah sesuwai kat mate yu ols?

but maybe people changed oke. people changed. i changed.
...

And sekarang, sangat2 nak berenti keja and jadi cikgu or jadi WAHM so that dapat mendodoi cik Emir Danish tidur. and dapat melihat si dia membesar bagai juara di depan mata.

If I am to follow the new schedule, 6.45 am dah kena bergerak dari rumah.
Hantar si anak ke babysitter, aku dan encik Hubby ke opis masing2.
Our office hour starts at 8.
Aku balik pukul 5.10 and Hubby at 6.
Hubby amik aku kat opis and selalunya pukul 7 la baru sampai rumah kan.
Tu kalau tak makan luar la.
Balik rumah masak, makan and barulah ada masa sedikit untuk famili.
Tu kalau encik Emir Danish tak tido lagi la.
Kalau dia dah tidur, owhhh... sangat sedehlah.

Dan sangat sedeh juger mau mengantar si anak ke babysitter.
adakah dia mampu melayan kerenah si anak yang sangat manja mau dipeluk dinenen sebelum tidur nih? adakah dia akan sterilize setiap botol susu sebelum diguna? adakah dia akan menepuk2 si anak selepas menyusu atau membiar begitu sahaja?

haih.
susah jadi emak yang terlalu berfikir nih.

and papa is going to offshore soonnnn!!!
uwaaa cedehnye saye!!!

Keluh-kesah berpantang

2011-02-26T18:20:00.000+08:00

Tajuk cam tak hingat plak kan padahal bukan berpantang sangat pun aku nih.
Time kat spital diorang bagi makan lauk ikan sweet sour pun aku mkn jek.
Perut aku kan pantang kalau nampak makanan sedap gini =p
Hari ke-6 pun dah selamat makan nasik minyak kat kenduri adik laki aku sebab my mum cakap takat rasa2 boleh je.

Pastu nampak plak air asam boi feveret aku, so aku cakap kat my mum, nak minum jugak.
Mak aku cakap minum je la...
Makcik2 kat situ pun dok cakap, 'kau nak makan jangan tahan2 sangat. Nanti kesian baby tak cukup khasiat. Tapi vitamin, ubat semua jangan lupa makan.

Adik aku yang pompuan tu plak yang dok geleng kepala nengok kakak dia nih =p
Tapi memang heaven okeh minum air tuh.
Gile sedap!!

'oh tapi kau ado gi kenduri kawin time pantang hari ke-6?
ahaks.

Pastu mak bidan yang urut aku cakap bole makan roti canai so of cos aku telah makan jugek. Tapi tak mkn kuah dia la..

Abah aku plak jenis yang asalkan benda tu menyihatkan, mesti kena makan.
Planta, cheese, minyak dan segala mak bapak lemak yang menggemukkan adalah dilarang sama sekali. Aku mana tau dia tak bagi makan roti ngan planta tu so aku makan je la buat brekfes. Sekali dia nampak, mak aih... telah dibebel ngan dasat sekali.

Mak aku plak siang malam suh minum Horlick sebab nak tambah susu badan.
Air pun bergelen2 suh aku minum.
Risau sangat cucu dia tu tak cukup khasiat.
And penyudahnya, segala jenis ikan pun diorang bagi makan.
Ikan bawal hitam, putih, kembung, cencaru, ikan merah, tebal pipi, semualah.
Tapi ayam, telur, seafood or daging adalah NO-NO sebab berkolestrol tinggi.
Bila aku cakap kat my sis, dia plak bising2 cakap jangan makan yang itu ini sebab takut effect masa tua nanti.

Pada aku, berpantang ni patut tapi berpada-padalah.
And kalau orang cakap takut effect time kita dah tua, oo helo? mana ada orang tua yang tak bisa2 badan, sakit pinggang sume tu kan.

Bukan aku nak menolak pantang-larang nih tapi kalau setakat pantang makan 44 hari, then hari ke 45 start minum ais, makan masak lemak tiap ari pun takde guna jugak, kan. And kalau ko tengok orang2 tua sekarang ni pun kebanyakkannya mesti ada sakit darah tinggi, kencing manis sume padahal kononnya lepas bersalin tu berpantang bagai nak rak, itu tak boleh, ini tak boleh. Memanjang ikan kering. Bak kata abah aku, takde khasiat lansung utk perkembangan otak baby.

Bila aku cakap ikan ni bisa, sayur and buah tu sejuk, dia cakap, 'sumber mana yang cakap mcm tu?

ok, ok, nak lawan bapak aku yang dah keja kat bidang kesihatan ni bertahun2 ye.

Mak aku pun bising jek kalau aku cakap takmo makan ikan yang itu ini tu sebab dia cakap dulu time dia lepas bersalin abah aku masakkan apapun dia makan, sihat jek sampai sekarang. Anak-anak dia pun sume pandai2. And mmg aku salute la kat my mom tu kan sebab dia sangat cergas and she's still working until now nak compare dengan makcik2 yang dok cakap ko kena berpantang bagai tapi tak keje and tetiba bila dah tua, ko yang sakit terlebih.

Aku bukannya ban pun upacara berpantang ni cuma nak ingatkan diri sendiri, makan apapun silalah berpada2 ye bukan kena stop on d spot sebab kesian la kat cik baby yg menyusu badan ni kan.

okeh, tamat.

Anyway, time pantang memang lebih horror drp deliver ye.

Sebabnya, badan akan sgt berpeluh ngan dasat and veri la tak selesa. Kulit aku ni memang jenis sensetip skit dari dulu. Shower foam pun cuma boleh guna Dettol ngan Lifebuoy. Start preknen aritu Shokobutsu pun tak boleh pakai dah. Berpeluh terlebih tak boleh, sejuk terlebih pun tak boleh. Tapi time pantang ni lagi dasat sebab peluh mencurah2. Abih timbul ruam gatal2 satu badan.

haa pastu tak payah nak sibuk2 cakap aku tak jaga mkn sbb tu gatal2. Aku ni memang sejak azali kulit jenis sensetip ye. Dah la berkain batik bertshirt bagai. Kalau ikutkan memang aku nak pakai hot pants ngan spaghetti je tapi sile la bersopan santun kat umah parents ni ye. Nak bukak kipas kuat2 pulak adalah a big NO-NO sebab takut baby selsema or ada paru2 problem plak nanti.

Yang kedua, sebab kena berbengkung yang gile gatal juger.
owhhh... sangat tak best ye sebab tu aku pakai bengkung 6 hari sajer.
Tu pun sebab mak bidan tu yang pakaikan.
Abih kena bising ngan my mum sebab tak pakai bengkung.
Nak suh aku pakai sendiri nan ado okeh.
Tapi takut jugak kalau menggelebeh je perut kang.
so, harus kuatkan semangat juger.
chaiyokkk!!

Yang ketiga adalah sebab aku dok teringat makanan yang sedap2 and aku nak minum ais sgt2 especially time tgh panas berpeluh ni tapi tak boleee T_T

Tapi aritu sebab tak tahan sgt, aku bukak peti ais minum air 100 plus tuh walopon aku sebenarnya mmg tak suka air gas tapi sebab air tu sejuk so minum juger.
maleh nak pikir dah.

And aritu abah potongkan buah mangga aku makan jugak sebab dia suruh.
Kang kalo aku kuarkan statement buah berbisa kang aku yang kena balik. ahaks.

and alhamdulillah setakat ni aku masih sihat walafiat lagi.

Nasib baik la before deliver aritu Hubby sempat bawak aku makan kat Nandos, Johnny's ngan Secret Recipe.

Tapi still teringat jugek nih.
So 1st thing after abis pantang adalah operasi makan2 yang dasat ye.

So, tu je la kot punca aku cakap berpantang tu tak best.
Selebihnya adalah keluh-kesah dari si new mommy yang veri penat sebab cik baby mangun every 2 hrs and slalunya sejam je tido dia dah mangun balik untuk nyusu.

Tapi standard la baby memang gitu kan.
And cik baby adalah sgt2 baik sbb dia jarang menangis.
Merengek pun sgt2 jarang.
Cuma dgr suara time dia nak susu jer.

And awal2 dulu dia tido siang tapi mlm adalah berjaga yang sakan.
At first memang la sakit kepala aku kan tapi dah lama2 ni dah lali. Dia nak bangun pukul berapa pun aku tak kesah dah. dah ok ^_^

And susu adalah melampau banyak yang melimpah ruah.
Hasil usaha makan sayur lobak putih, sawi putih, minum Horlicks and minum air bergelen-gelen.

Patut bersyukur la sbb anak aku dapat menyusu dgn puas tapi ntah la... kalau tak pakai bra, bangun pagi je basah kuyup la baju aku. And kena pakai nursing bra 24hrs + breastpad juger. veri lahai tak selesa. Pastu cik baby suke hisap ngan kuat pastu gigit2 sampai luka nipple aku nih. Takde la berdarah tapi saket woo!! Terasa bisa berdesup kat jantung. Hubby bole gelak sakan plak sambil cakap, 'anak papa memang ganas nih. haha.

oke, oke, tapi memang patut sangat2 bersyukur ye.

Anyway, sayur lobak putih tu sedap hape.
Aku punye la ingatkan rasa dia maung, pelik, mcm yang orang slalu cakap tapi pada aku sedap je mcm sayur lain. Rasa dia mcm keledek. 'ke sebab mak aku yang masak sedap? hehe.

dan di hari ke 25, Emir Danish is 4.2 kg now and mommy pulak telah turun sebanyak 14 kg.
alhamdulillah...

Terima kasih cinta.

2011-02-23T10:11:00.000+08:00

Terima kasih ku ucap kepadamu
Kerana sudi menyayangi diriku
Semoga kita bersama dan setia
Aku bersyukur pada Tuhan Yang Esa
Kerana dia yang menemukan kita
Semoga kita mendapat rahmat darinya
Hidup bahagia

Oh kasih indahnya kurasakan
Sewaktu engkau ada bersama di sisiku
Indahnya cintamu
Biarpun apa yang terjadi rela ku tempuh
Asal kau tahu hargai pengorbananku ini
Terhadap dirimu

Sewaktu kau berduka aku ada di sisimu menemani
Sewaktu kau gembira jangan pula kau lupa diri ini
Andainya aku tiada
Abadikan cinta kita sepanjang hayatmu

Terima kasih ku ucap kepadamu
Kerana sudi menyayangi diriku
Semoga kita bersama dan setia
Hidup bahagia...

-- Terima Kasih Segalanya by Lestari

and suddenly, another year passes by.
31st January 2010 yang lalu, kami selamat diijabkabulkan dan 31st January hari ini, setahun suda usianya.

ooo, si anak pun dah lahir ye.
hadiah yang paling istimewa sempena ulangtahun perkahwinan kami...

omg, I'm a MOMMY!!!
cakap ulang2 pun hati macam masih tak percaya.
ahaks.

Tapi memang sekejap gilelah masa berlalu!
macam baru semalam yang kami berjumpa di tempat parking SDE tu...
macam baru semalam kami 1st dating kat stadium yg sangat tak romantik tu...
*haha tiap taun pun akan tetap ulang ayat yang sama*

Tapi benda tu la yang akan jadi memori yang sangat indah dan akan ingat sampai bila2.
^_^

And sebab aku nak masuk wad 29hb tu and aku teringin sangat nak makan Johnny's, so telah celebrate our anniversary kat situ la.

Kat Johnny's Bukit Indah.

Steamboat tomyam dia adalah gile sedap kat tekak aku.
And that Jelly Mushroom adalah my fav ever.

'ke tekak orang preknen memang sumenye rase sedap eh?

Anyway, telah singgah Secret Recipe juger untuk makan 2 ketul cheese cake.
Aku rasa operasi makan2 yang dasat ni la yang buat berat aku naik from 51 kg jadi 74.1 kg time nak deliver encik Emir Danish aritu.

'hooo memang melampau sangat la kanss?

Tatau kenapa tapi tiap kali dengar lagu ineh ngingatkan aku pada encik Hubby.
So of cos, sempena ulangtahun pertama perkahwinan kami, this song is dedicated to him, my dearest, beloved Hubby.
...

have I told you yet
how much you mean to me...
have I told you yet
about all the happiness you bring...
have I told you yet
that you mean the world to me...

just in case I haven't
i want you to know that
you're the best thing that ever happened to me!
I love you and I'll always will ^_^

Tarikh yang itu

2011-02-16T12:52:00.000+08:00

First of all adalah mau ngucapkan terima kasih pada semua aunties yang memberi wishes yang sangat banyak di entry Emir Danish ye. Tak sempat pun mau mereply all the comments tapi agak excited sebab tak sangka blog ineh banyak jugak pembaca ^_^

And secondly, mau ngucapkan congrates pada Diah (11/2/11), k|ree (7/2/11), Marina (2/2/11), Eeza (4/2/11) and Siti (26/1/11) atas kelahiran putera puteri tercinta.
'wuhuhu ramai plak geng Emir Danish yang lahir bln ni ye.

So, it's been 16 days since Emir Danish delivery day.
Sangat banyaklah cerita yang mau dishare di sini tapi mommy bermata panda ni sangat la tak sempat mau menulis.

Time cik baby tido, si mommy mau mandi.
takpun berurut sana sini.
takpun, gi makan.
dan tiba2 cik baby dah mangun balik.

tak la meragam pun.
nak dengar cik baby menangis melalak2 adalah lansung takde.
cik baby adalah sangat baik sejak dari dalam perut mommy lagi ^_^

ohh tapi macam mana mau cakap ye.
24 jam rasa macam sangat tak cukuplah buat masa sekarang.
macam lebih penat daripada waktu bekerja.
tapi adalah sangat suka sebab diri berada di rumah.
'kan impian sejak dulu adalah mau jadi housewife sepenuh masa gitu =p

Anyway, hari ini bukan mau bercerita tentang kesah delivery.
Sebab mood bercerita macam tak berapa nak ada.
Cuma nak share tentang semua yang jadi pada 30th January 2011.

Perkara pertama of cos the delivery of our beloved son, Emir Danish bin Muhammad Zainol Abdin.

Alhamdulillah, semuanya berjalan lancar.
Cerita tentang the whole process tu nanti-nantilah aku tulis di sini ye.

ok jek.
takde la sakit melampau macam yang orang selalu cakap tu kan.
Maybe sebab aku guna epidural.
haha nak ngutuk aku la tu kan ckp guna epi so memang la tak sakit.
so, sape suh ko tak guna epi kansss?
...

and to tell u d truth, pada aku, aktiviti berpantang ni adalah lebih horror daripada sakit bersalin oke.
betul!!
nape aku cakap macam tu ye?
hooo nanti-nantilah aku cerita.

Semalam, mak bidan yang urut aku tu cakap, 'kakak kalau tak jaga2 nanti Danish cepat dapat adik ni tau kak. kakak subur nih..

Aku automatik cakap, 'oh bagus la..

haha terkejut makcik tu, 'ehh budak nih. bersalin aritu tak sakit ke?

Terover excited plak aku ni kan bila makcik tu ckp aku subur.
tapi tu la aku cakap. sakit bersalin tu takde la melampau sangat.
bila baby dah kuar, entah nape, automatik rasa sakit tu hilang.
bukan la hilang pun tapi macam tak ingat lak apa benda yang aku sibuk2 nak sakitkan sangat tu kan.

so kalau Emir Danish cepat dapat adik pun apa salahnya kan.
hee~

Anyway, 30th January 2011 juger tarikh adik lelaki aku selamat bernikah.
Aku tak dapat datang sebab tengah deliverykan cik Emir Danish ye.

Gambar dan video adalah seperti di bawah.
Cerita lanjut tentang majlis mereka tu pun nanti-nantilah aku tulis di sini.
sangat pelik and agak sedeh sebab wedding adik sendiri plak aku tak dapat pegi, kan.
Tapi of cos tak mungkin akan tukar dengan apa-apapun sebab itu adalah antara hari paling bermakna dalam hidup kami dengan kelahiran putera tercinta, Emir Danish ^_^

*Video : Wedding of Akmal & Fazlina*

ai agak jeles sebab video ni sgt sweeeettt hoke.
my wedding vid by PMline adalah sgt horror T_T T_T

tapi takpe la... mana ada wedding yg perfect sangat pun kan.
*mood pasrah*
Pengikat cinta kami, si Emir Danish pun dah selamat lahir ke dunia ha ^_^

ohhh ahhh

2011-02-11T11:01:00.000+08:00

papa dah balik PG...
uwaaaa cedehnye saye!!!
melampau sampai tgh mengulit anak kat tepi ni pun bole menitik2 air mata aku turun weh.

haha T_T

padahal baru 2 jam encik Hubby balik umah ni T_T T_T

kadang2 aku terfikir, kenapa ada orang bila dah dapat anak, ada yang kata, takde husband pon takpe, asalkan anak ada.

pada aku, adalah sangat tidak boleh.
si dia adalah separuh dari diri saye.
dan Emir Danish, buah cinta kami, adalah separuh lagi.
tak mungkin la dapat hidup tanpa dua orang budak comel berpipi bam2 nih.

fuh, kalau Hubby keluar lama2 or keje sampai lewat malam pun aku ialah menghitung jam dengan kusyuk.

so, bagaimanakah mau mengharung seminggu tanpa Hubby di sisi neh...

Tadi time Hubby nak balik, perasaan adalah biasa2 sajer.
salam, cium tangan, kiss2, and bye2.
macam selalu.

sejam lepas tu, perasaan adalah sangat sedeh ye.
call Hubby sambil berlinangan air mate you!
tapi dia tatau la aku nangih cuma suara tersekat2 sambil cakap, 'cyg rindu kat hubby nih...

tak mungkin la akan tunjuk air mata meleleh dpn cik Hubby.
depan sape2 pun tak mungkin la akan tunjuk air mate.
haha T_T

pastu aku rase dia cenyum2 sambil ckp, 'takkan la Hubby nak biar cyg sorang2 seminggu. Rabu nanti Hubby balik ye.

so, oke.

ohhh... adakah sebab tengah berpantang maka emosi jadi tak berapa nak stabil nih?

3.26 kg / 48 cm

Normal delivery by Dr Suhaimi Hassan
(O & G and Fertility Specialist @ Penawar Hospital)

1 more day!!!

2011-01-29T16:47:00.001+08:00

so, one more day to go ye before we can meet little ED.
oh, cepatnya masa berlalu kan.

Sekarang adalah bersiaran lansung dari my parents house kat Ptn.
Besok baru balik semula ke JB.
Petang tadi sempat la pompuan ngandung berkaki ngemuk ni berjalan-jalan lagi kat JJ Bkt Indah tu kan sebab dah alang2 nak balik kg.

Encik Hubby of cos sangat bising bila aku cakap nak singgah sana or sini kejap.
so alasan adalah mau mencarik selipar toilet.
hoh~ macam kat tempat lain takde jual selipar tu kan.
Tapi memang sangat heaven ye bila dapat bersoping2 sebelum berpantang ni kan.

so, one more day to go.
Bila orang tanya saspen tak, aku jawab, tak lansung.
haha gile berlagak.

Tapi memang betul pun.
perasaan adalah masih normal.
Pagi tadi sempat jugak setelkan 3 guestbook lagi.
Dokter bagi MC suh aku berehat-rehatan kat umah sebab kaki adalah bengkak yang amats tapi gigih la pompuan ni setelkan keje sampai keras kejung kaki tu.
Sangat risau kalau aku terberanak sebelum sempat setelkan order2 ni kan.
risau dan kesian.
So, memang perasaan sekarang adalah masih normal.

Maybe sebab aku pernah rasa duduk wad sebelum ni so bila kena masuk wad yang kali ini, rasa cam, oke, no worries.

or maybe sebab aku pompuan yang tak berapa nak ada perasaan.
macam yang ex-housemate aku cakap dulu.
ahaks.

Yang tak berapa best adalah I won't get to see my brother's solemnization tomorrow.
huuu~ encik baby takmo tunggu pakcik Boboy nikah ye.
takpelah.
next week kenduri belah sini aku dah seminggu pantang so bole pegi kot...
tapi cam takde maknanya nak meredah kenduri time tengah2 dalam pantang tu kan.
hiks.

oh, tapi tinggal satu hari rupanya ya.
macam sangat banyak benda aku tak abis belajar lagi.
Antenatal class pun tak sempat pegi.
Memang sangat kejaplah masa berlalu, kan.
Nasib baik tadi dah makan cheese cake.
dua ketul pulak tu.
Marble cheese cake kat Secret Recipe adalah sangat sedap occay.
Minggu ni dah 4 ketul aku makan sorang.
lepas gian.

so, please pray for me ya.
Sesungguhnya sakit bersalin itu pasti, cuma takdir Allah yang menentukan terlebih terkurang yang kau dapat.

dan alhamdulillah, sepanjang pregnant aku lansung tak mengalami masalah apapun.
muntah tak, sakit pun tak.
anak mommy adalah sangat baik bergolek2 di dalam ^_^

Semoga time deliver nanti pun macam tu juger.
Doakan semoga selamat kedua-dua kami ye.
amin...

11 days to go!

2011-01-24T16:20:00.000+08:00

and suddenly, Dr Suhaimi said that most probably I'm gonna deliver on 2nd of Feb.

*2/2/2011*

'hoh~ sgt cantek ye tarikh lahir saye.

tapi... gile terkejut weh!!
macam tiba2 tersedar diri.
macam tiba2 I'm back to reality.
that's like, next week occay!
and I haven't prepared like, anything!

oh my god...

but suddenly, I feel soo excited!
macam tak caye.
In about 11 days we're gonna have a baby!!
yey!

ok, ok relax... tarik napas ye Sha.

ah~ sangat cumil kan saye ^_^

picture taken this afternoon @ Penawar Hospital.

So, for these 11 days I can eat anything, everything, and pastu berpantang ye.
Besok akan beli Prosperity Burger kat MCD pastu weekend ni akan ke Johnny's.
Tadi dah makan Nandos ngan Hubby.
Next week plak nak makan Subway.

And there're lotsss of thing yang aku belum buat/beli lagi.
1) Sleepsuits - baru beli 3 helai. cukup kot?... sebab baby pakai bedung kan, so tak la sejuk sgt kalo pakai baju biasa je kan?

2) Bengkung (HPA) - maybe beli 2 dulu la sbb tatau aku bersalin camne nanti kan. tapi mengikut kata org2 yg pernah guna, memang ramai yang cakap best. so ada sape2 nak beli ngan aku? hehe. nanti aku updet kat CharmsAndColors ye.

3) Fir stokin (Klife) - recommended by my fren. kalau aku jadi dealer jual benda ni pun best gak kan.

4) Minyak telon (Amway) - my Angah dah belikan kat Miri so time wedding my brother dia bawakkan la ke sini.

5) Tungku moden - yang ni tgh survey harga paling murah. ni pun aku rasa nak jadi dealer gak. susah weh nak carik kat JB nih.

6) Kain bedung baby - belum amik lagi kat MIL. aaa bila nak balik BP nih?

oh sgt banyak nak buat.
fuh fuh tarik napas dulu ye.

Hospital Bag

2011-01-19T18:32:00.000+08:00

Sebab aku nak masuk 36 minggu dah ni, so harus la terkedek2 nak prepare hospital bag kan. Tu pun sebab dah kena bising ngan encik Hubby tiap ari.

ko bayangkan la, nak gi keje dia bebel, balik keje pun bebel, mlm2 pun... cam dia pulak yang terlebih takut kalau aku terberanak awal ni kan.

So, akhirnya tadi telah berjaya mempacking beg untuk kedua2 kami.
Cuma beg balik kg je belum packing lagi.
Tatau la nak berpantang kat mana nanti.
Cam serba salah di sini.
My parents suh balik umah diorang.
Encik Hubby dok pujuk2 aku suh pantang kat sini je.
Takde la dia paksa pun tapi cam sayu2 je dia ckp, "nanti takde org nak masakkan hubby, nanti hubby tido mlm sorang2, nanti rumah cam kosong je... cyg pantang kat sini je la ye..."

'eh cam konpius di situ. sapekah yang patut masak untuk sape? haha.

Tapi aritu dia ada cakap gak, "takpe la kalo cyg nak balik umah mak... nanti tinggal la hubby sorang2 kat sini... nanti 3 ari skali hubby balik sana eh. tapi kalo cyg pantang kat sini lagi bagus, takde nak nyusahkan mak... mak abah kan keje... kalo kat sini nanti tghari hubby balik la antokan makanan..."

hoh~ adakah maksudnya dia akan tapaukan aku nasik goreng tiap ari?
tak berpantang la gamaknya kalau aku dok sini kang.
ahaks.

so, tengoklah nanti.
...

Anyway, ni barang2 yang aku dah siap packing untuk encik baby.

Baby's Bag :
• 10 x Nappies
• 4 x Baby's clothes
• 3 x Plastic bag (utk uri dan baju/kain yang kotor & basah)
• 3 x Washcloth
• 1 x Baju sejuk
• 1 x Baby hat
• 1 x Baby blanket
• 1 x Baby towel
• 1 x Hooded towel
• 3 x Mittens & Booties
• 3 x Barut baby
• 2 x Receiving blanket
• Baby oil/Baby Wash/Baby lotion/Nappy cream
• Changing mat
• Baby wipes
• Baby's car seat

Mommy's Bag :
• Mommy and Papa's IC
• Kad Lawatan Hospital/Buku Merah
• Handphone & Camera
• Al-Quran
• Buku/Majalah
• 3 x T-Shirt/Front-fastening Blouse
• 1 x Kaftan
• 3 x Kain Batik
• 1 x Sweater
• 6 x Disposable briefs
• 2 x Nursing bra
• 2 x Socks
• 1 x Towel
• 1 x Tissue paper
• 1 x Slippers
• 1 x Shawl
• 4 x Breastpad
• Toiletries (Shower foam/Toothbrush/Cosmetics/Comb/Ikat Rambut/etc)
• Kurma/Madu (utk Tahnik)
• Air zamzam/Air selusuh
• Maternity Pad
• Minyak Mustajab & Minyak Herbanika
• Stok makanan (Air Milo/Juice/Roti/Coklat/Biskut)

ni je la barang basic utk dok 2 hari 1 mlm.
if in case kena c-sect and dok 3 hari 2 mlm, brg2 kena la nambah lagi kot.

Next week ada appointment dgn Penawar Specialist and the week after that, before aku gi KL for my brother's wedding, appointment ngan Puteri Specialist plak. Last week dah gi kat Penawar gak ngan Kluang Specialist.

Skarang ni every week nak kena gi checkup.
Tapi sbenarnya tatau pun nak bersalin kat mana nih.
Sume dokter cam sgt best.

And ni adalah experience cik puan GreenApple kat hospital kerajaan ye.
Agak horror la kat mata aku... http://comatosewithbraindamage.blogspot.com

And my fren baru bersalin kat HSI aritu and jahitan dia terburai oke.
TERBURAI!

of cos parents dia mengamuk sakan kat encik dokter tuh.
And time dia gi betulkan balik jahitan c-sect, ada 2 orang lagi patient yang alami masalah yang sama. Sorang tu siap bernanah ha!

shocking gile ye.
so HSI adalah out of option sama skali.
HSA adalah lebih baik sebab ko boleh book ward 1st class di situ.

yela, memang la kalau ada problem cam tumpah darah ke, private hospital mesti akan refer ko ke gov hospital gak kan tapi tu lain kira la... tu ko akan dpt special treatment. Kalau ko dtg siap2 terus gi situ kompem dpt ngan dokter praktikal yg kebanyakkannya hancusss.

Sekian, harap maklum.

----------

What to pack in your hospital bag
- written for BabyCenter Malaysia

You're in the final stretch, with only a few weeks to go before your due date. Now's the time to pack a bag for all the essentials you'll need during labour and after your baby is born.

Print out this checklist to help remember everything you need. It's a good idea to have your bags packed by the time you are about 36 weeks pregnant, so that you're not rushing around in early labour trying to get everything done then!

Hospitals vary in their policies about what you are allowed to bring with you when you have your baby. You may want to take a few items from home, such as your own pillows or cushions, to make the environment more personal and less clinical. Check what the hospital provides and what you can bring yourself, but be aware that hospitals can be short on space -- and you may need to store everything in a small cabinet by your bed.

What to pack for labour :
• Your birth plan.
• Dressing gown -- useful if you end up pacing hospital corridors in early labour.
• Slippers.
• Socks -- believe it or not, your feet can get cold during labour.
• An old nightdress or a T shirt to wear in labour, if you don't want to put on the hospital gown. It might get a bit messy, so don't buy anything specially to wear in hospital.
• Massage oil or lotion if you would like to be massaged during your labour.
• Lip balm.
• Snacks and drinks for you while you are in labour, or some glucose tablets to keep you going.
• Watch with a second hand, to time contractions.
• Digital camera or camcorder. If you want to bring a camcorder, check with the hospital beforehand -- not all of them allow them in delivery rooms.
• Relaxation materials: books, magazines, games etc.
• Pictures of someone or something you love (the inspiration you may need to see you through to the end).
• TENS pain relief machine if you are planning to use one.
• Toiletries.
• Water spray, or a hand-held fan to keep you cool.
• Music to listen to.

For your birth partner :
• A change of clothes.
• Snacks and drinks -- you don't want a dehydrated, hungry birth partner looking after you!

For after the birth :
• Going-home outfit.It will take a while for your tummy to go down so you'll be still wearing maternity clothes when you come home -- sorry!
• Nursing bras -- two or three.
• Breast pads for when your milk comes in.
• Maternity pads -- a couple of packs.
• Toiletries.
• Towels, hairbrush, toothbrush and toothpaste.
• Old knickers/cheap knickers/disposable knickers -- don't bring your best ones as they will get messy. If you end up having a caesarean, the hospital may provide one of those brilliant stretchy knickers that are comfortable over your scar.
• Arnica tablets to help with bruising after the birth. Although there's no conclusive evidence that they work, many women report that taking arnica helps reduce bruising and helps the healing process.
• Ear plugs, in case you end up on a noisy ward!
• Your mobile phone - and charger!

For your baby :
• An infant car seat.
• One outfit for the trip home (all-in-one stretchy outfits are easiest). The hospital provides baby gowns for your baby to wear during his stay.
• Baby blanket (a warm one if weather is cold).
• Nappies.
• One pair of socks or booties.
• Hat.
• Muslin squares.

Once you've got your hospital bag organised, remind yourself of the first signs of labour so you know when it's the real thing!

@36 weeks

2011-01-16T08:20:00.001+08:00

wohoho nampak tak???
motif sebenar adalah mau ngambil gambar kasut baru sementara nunggu encik Hubby ngambil kete kat tempat parking Angsana.
tup tup... hoh!
perut mak buyung ketika minggu ke-36 dan kenaikan berat badan sebanyak 20 kg.
T_T

Tapi agak best sebab si dia neman bersoping lagi.
Encik Hubby adalah sangat susah untuk dibawak bersoping byk2 tempat kecualilah kalau ada sebab yang kukuh dan best.

Contohnya macam kali yang ini, aku ngajak ke HP sebab mau ngambil contact lens yg diorder last week. So of cos si dia akan meneman.
Kemudian terus ke Parkson untuk membeli sandal tapi telah terbeli handbag baru juger ^_^

yela, kan telah berazam mau fully BF encik baby so harus la carik beg breastpump yang vouge utk dibawak ke opis.

Sebenarnya mau membeli beg yang cantek dan tahan tapi murahan yang berjenama biasa tapi telah terpikat dengan beg Carlo Rino yang besar, cantek dan murahan lalu terbeli.

Dan juga telah membeli sebijik lagi beg Bally seperti di atas untuk jadi nursery bag for our dearest baby. Memang dok survey beg tu dah lama, akhirnya lepas proses mengcompare dgn yang itu ini dan operasi pujuk-memujuk encik Hubby maka dapat la membeli jua. 'kelasss ko budak2 zaman skarang gi nursery pon guna beg mahal ha.

Dan membeli sepasang sandal baru seperti gambar ~~ngemuk~~ di atas.

hoh~ nasib baik la encik Hubby terpengaruh dengan kata2 manis aku.
ahaks.

And pastu ngajak ke Angsana sebab mau beli baju ~~cantek~~ sempena my brother's wedding.
Dan ke Romantika sebab mau membeli bakul baby yang vouge lagi murahan seperti di bawah.

owh memang hari yang sgt memuaskan hati okeh.

so, 30 days to go yeh.
wuuuuhuuuu~

his wedding.

2011-01-11T23:50:00.000+08:00

and my brother is getting married in a few weeks time.
30th January to be exact.
which is a day before our wedding anniversary.
wuuhuuu~

*sbenarnya nak ckp, 'wahhh aku dah kawin dekat setaun yeh!*

Macam sangat cepat la masa berlalu... <-- hoh, ayat biasa.
maksud aku adalah, owh kejap je kami dah setahun kawin.
and kejap je, adik lelaki aku pulak nak kawin...

2009, time aku bertunang, adik perempuan aku kawin.
6th June 2009.

2010, aku kawin...
31st January 2010.

and 2011, turn adik lelaki aku pulak.
30th January 2011...

Setaun sekali ye mak aku buat kenduri kawin.
Pasni tunggu 10 tahun lagi la kot sebab adik bongsu aku baru nak masuk Form 4 ni.

hum hum.

Tapi rasa macam baru je kami pegi sekolah sama2 dulu.
Naik kete my mum, parking dalam sekolah sebab she's a teacher there, terkedek2 la kami ke kelas.
Aku darjah 5, Angah darjah 3 dan Boy darjah 2.
Time tu Faiz, my youngest brother belum lahir lagi.

Petang2 main kejar2 keliling rumah.
dengan Zila, Nurul, Ida and Izat.

and tup tup ni, semua2 nak kawin dah...

The reception for the bride's side will be at Dewan xxx, Port Klang.
and our side will took place a week after that at Dewan xxx, Ptn.

And their theme adalah pink purple.
'gaknya our family memang takleh lari ngan kaler2 gitu kot.
Time Angah kawin adalah kaler merah.
Aku tunang pun kaler merah.

Aku kawin aritu adalah pink purple.
refer to dis entry.

And diorg ni pun nak kaler yang sama jugak.
'memang kaler tu je kot yang nampak cantek kat mata kitorang nih =p

Baju pun aku tak beli lagi.
Boy bgtau theme color dah last minit so tak sempat nak beli time sale gile2 aritu.
Kalau beli kat Angsana harus 3, 4 ratus harga baju tu kang.
Hubby pun tak sempat nak tempah baju melayu baru.
So tengoklah nanti.
Rombongan berwarna-warni.

And sebab dah alang2 gi KL, of cos nak gi IKEA jugak.
Sebab nak beli sebijik lagi wardrobe kaler putih utk brg2 aku.
Biar nampak kemas sikit bilik kat bawah tu.
tapi cam kompem je encik Hubby tak bagi sebab time tu dah sarat sangat pastu sibuk plak la nak jalan ke hulu ke hilir lagi.

and that 31st January adalah our first anniversary!
so of cos nak celebrate jugak.
And time tu aku adalah lebih kurang 38 weeks+-
tengah nunggu hari nak deliver ye.
wuhuhuu~

hopefully baby kuar lepas majlis selesai la sebab of cos ai nak bergambar sakan time wedding tu kan.

aa nak baby kuar 11/02/11 bole? hehe.
nanti IC dia akan bernombor cantek.
110211-01-xxxx

tapi kalau lahir 15/02/11 pun sgt best.
sama tarikh dengan Hari Keputeraan Nabi Muhammad SAW...
12 Rabiulawal 1432H.
...

and I'm 35 weeks preggy now!
weeee~

tahun yang baru.

2011-01-08T21:22:00.000+08:00

oo suda 2011 ye.
and I'm nearing the 30s.
wuhuhu!

So as usual, akan letak beberapa azam baru yang insya allah akan dicapai.

• Beli Nikon DSLR 3100
By hook or by crook mesti beli jugak! Target adalah before bln 5 ye.
and bagi menjawab soalan Harz : no, aku belum beli lagi la sebab waktu2 ujung taun aritu adalah waktu utk bersoping brg baby.

heh.

• Bercuti-cutian satu M'sia
Mesti! Mesti! Mesti! Tak mungkin la gi oversea dis year so berazam akan at least ke Kuching or Sabah or jalan2 kat Semenanjung ni pun jadikkk!

• Accept lebih banyak order for CharmsandColors and kalo bole takmo reject sapa2 pun
tapi... adeh. Tu bergantung jugak la lepas bersalin nanti macam mana kan. sedangkan time tgh preggy ni pun tahap ketaklaratan tu dah melampau so nanti mesti akan lebih bizi dengan hidup yang baru with our little prince and my plan to fully breastfeed, ngan kerja kat opis, ngan balik umah nak memasak, ngan nak layan encik Hubby lagi, ngan time weekend nak jalan sana sini lagi, but hopefully berjaya la ye ^_^

• Menjadi anak yang lebih baik to my parents and PIL, and menjadi isteri yang lebih baik to my beloved Hubby...
hoho... of cos la ni azam tiap tahun kan.

• Buy at least a built-in wardrobe or a new sofa
Currently we have 3 wardrobes in the house; one for me, one for Hubby and one for our little prince. tapi suda sangat tak muat!!! Sampaikan bilik yang no. 2 tu dah jadi stor baju kami. So maybe akan terus buat yang built-in kat master bedroom tu dari ujung sana ke ujung sini. Kot kalo tak muat gak, lain taun buat lagi satu kat 2nd bedroom tu plak. Tapi tengoklah. Aku macam nak beli sofa baru. And takmo yang 3+2+1 seater sebab mcm sempit je orang nak duduk. Yang lama punya boleh letak kat family hall kat atas sebab kaler dia cam tak berapa nak matching ngan living room.

Sangat tak suka yang leather so maybe we'll opt for the fabric one macam yang kat bawah ni.

• And last but not least, akan berusaha mengamalkan gaya hidup yang lebih sihat!
ye, sebab saye ada seorang suami yang sangat fanatik bersukan, so awal2 lagi telah berkata, 'nanti petang2 kita bawak baby joging tepi tasik naik stroller ye cyg.

maka lepas abih pantang akan selongkar balik seluar2 tracksuit yang lama.
'owh, wujud lagikah?
haha.

• dan akan memasak makanan yang lebih sihat untuk keluarga tercinta ^_^
Start dari last week aku dah mengamalkan makan celery + olive oil. Bole tahan sedap la kat tekak aku ni kan. One of my fren telah mencadangkan supaya makan sesudu olive oil setiap hari untuk memudahkan bersalin. Tapi nak makan idup2 harus la tak tertelan aku kan. so telah mencampurkan olive oil dalam segala ulam-ulaman dan sayur-sayuran and yang paling senang ialah celery stick.

Potong nipis2, campur dengan tomato cherries or any other salad yang ko suka, tuang ngan olive oil and makan ngan nasik lauk Sambal Ikan Bilis Jawa bersama perahan air limau kasturi/limau nipis. sedap ye kwn2.

Celery : Health Benefits

Celery has always been associated with lowering of blood pressure. When combined with other juices, it provides different formula that help other conditions.

Recent studies have shown that celery might also be effective in combating cancer. Read on.

Some of the health benefits of celery juice:

Acidity - The important minerals in this magical juice effectively balance the body's blood pH, neutralizing acidity.

Increased Sexual Drive - Celery juice is beneficial for weak sex drive without the effects of an uncontrollable urge that some pharmaceutical drugs have.

Athletes - Celery juice acts as the perfect post-workout tonic as it replaces lost electrolytes and rehydrates the body with its rich minerals.

Cancer - Celery is known to contain at least eight families of anti-cancer compounds. Among them are the acetylenics that have been shown to stop the growth of tumor cells. Phenolic acids which block the action of prostaglandins that encourage the growth of tumor cells. And coumarins which help prevent free radicals from damaging cells.

Cholesterol - This humble pale juice has been shown to effectively and significantly lower total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Colon and stomach cancer - The phytochemical coumarins prevent the formation and development of the colon and stomach cancers.

Constipation - The natural laxative effect of celery helps to relieve constipation. It also helps relax nerves that have been overworked by man-made laxatives.

Cooling - During dry and hot weather, drink a glass of celery juice two or three times a day, between meals. It wonderfully helps to normalize body temperature.

Diuretic - The potassium and sodium in celery juice helps to regulate body fluid and stimulate urine production, making it an important help to rid the body of excess fluid.

Inflammation - The polyacetylene in celery is an amazing relief for all inflammation like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, asthma and bronchitis.

Kidney function - Celery promotes healthy and normal kidney function by aiding elimination of toxins from the body. While eliminating toxins, it also prevents formation of kidney stones.

Lower blood pressure - Drinking celery juice every day for a week significantly helps lower blood pressure. A compound called phtalides help relax the muscle around arteries, dilating the vessels and allowing blood to flow normally. To be effective, drink the juice for one week, stop for three weeks, and start over.

Nervous system - The organic alkaline minerals in celery juice has a calming effect on the nervous system, making it a wonderful drink for insomniacs.

Weight loss - Drink celery juice frequently throughout the day. It helps curb your cravings for sweets and rich food.

Urinary stones, breaking of - The diuretic effect of celery juice also aids the breaking and elimination of urinary and gall bladder stones.

You can expect many more healing benefits from celery juice as you consume its natural sodium.

2010 in memory...

2011-01-04T19:33:00.000+08:00

Walaupun dis week aku cuma kerja half day on Monday and the whole day on Thursday and selebihnya adalah bercuti-cutian, tapi sangat bizilah menyusun atur hidup sampai tak sempat pun nak mengupdet blog.

and OMG it's 2011!!!
*perasaan adalah mcm macik2 yg suda tua T_T*

hoh~

But alhamdulillah, it has been quite a wonderful year for me in 2010...
Segala-galanya telah menjadi yang sgt indah dan manis untuk dikenang.
^_^

Bermula dari bulan pertama, 31st January 2010, telah selamat menjadi isteri kepada Encik Muhammad Zainol Abdin setelah lebih setahun bersama in a long distance relationship...

*oh i truly lovesss this Meja Makan Beradab!*

Then, rezeki lepas kawin, si dia dapat pindah bekerja di sekitar JB...

And a few months after that, bertambah-tambah rezeki bila aku disahkan preknen...
owh sgt hepi ye kekawan.

Then, followed by dozens of other beautiful things like, we finally bought our dream home! and I start my own part time business of making guestbook!

hiks.

Banyak sebenarnya benda pertama yg aku tertinggal nak nulis di sini.
Pertama kali berhoneymoon.
Pertama memasak untuk encik Hubby.
Pertama buat buku merah.
Pertama check-up kat klinik kerajaan.
Pertama check-up kat private.
Ramadhan dan raya pertama bersama encik Hubby.
Pertama kali buat open house...
ntah cam banyak je lagi pertama lain sampai dah terlupa pun.

Anyway, yes, our first Ramadhan as husband and wife.

Tak banyak different sangat sebab last few years memang selalu berbuka dengan encik Hubby pun.

2008 - tahun pertama kami berbuka as a couple.
2009 - tahun pertama berbuka as tunangan orang.
And this year, 2010, tahun pertama as husband and wife.

Bezanya, tahun ni aku bangun sahur.
Sebab aku pregnant so takut baby tak cukup zat and sebab Hubby memang dah biasa sahur dari dulu, so nak tanak memang kena gigihkan mangun gak sebab nak buatkan Hubby air milo dia.

Then, pertama kali beraya dengan husben.
tapi sebab cerita raya ni panjang sangat so lain kali la ye aku cerita =p

and I'm officially 34 weeks preggy now!
wuhuhu~

dearest Hubby,
i love you
with all my heart
always have
and i'll always will...
^_^

Bercinta berpuluh tahun pun belum tentu ke jinjang pelamin, kami yang bertemu baru beberapa bulan ni pun alhamdulillah... dipermudahkan jalan oleh-Nya.
...

'indah kan ketentuan Allah ni?

Baby Stuff : Ice & Cooler Bag

2010-12-31T04:46:00.000+08:00

Autumnz : Cooler Tote

RM37.50

Autumnz : Cooler Bag

RM44.70

some reviews said that it can fit the Spectra 3 breastpump inside.
'btul ke eh?

or shud I buy this Mom's Precious Cooler Bag?
RM50.50 @ FM

My sis use this bag and she said, ok la...
takde pun komen yg tinggi melangit so aku rasa cam biasa2 jek.
no one I know use the Autumnz bag so I'm not really sure about it walopon dlm review ckp bole tahan sampai 14 hrs.

Autumnz of cos lebih murahan tapi utk storage ni aku tak kesah sgt kalo mahal pun asalkan bagus and btul2 boleh tahan lama -- the milk and the life span of the bag itself.

yela, beli mahal2 of cos aku nak beg yg tak cepat rosak, kan.

so, which one do u recommend?

and as for the ice pack, I'm going to use this Techni Ice.

RM25.50 sajer okeh.
and voted by most forumers ^_^

happy birthday love!

And I bought him this during Metrojaya sale last week.
Sgt best oke bau dia.
Dan sebab beli awal, so laki yang tak menyabar tu pun telah guna awal.

Before this he used that Hugo Boss but the smell cam tak berapa nak tahan lama.
Yang ni bila dia amik aku balik keje tu pun bau still fresh harum semerbak cam nak peluk2 kat situ jugak. haha.

Hubby @ his favorite OldTown.
'hape ntah yang best sangat ngan tempat ni aku tatau.

ok, maybe the mi kari.
laksa pun not bad la...
kaya + butter slice dia pun sedap gak.
tapi aku rasa dok makan kat kedai biasa lagi best kot.

Anyway, we haven't got d time to celebrate yet.
super duper bizi dis week.
Nak suprise dgn kek pun tak bole coz he didn't give me d chance to drive alone.
Sejak 2 bln lepas tak bagi drive sendiri dah.
so cemana aku nak beli kek nih?
Secret Recipe ada buat delivery tak eh.
hehe.

Anyway, we went back to his hometown last Thursday.
no, not bcoz of the birthday.
My FIL was having an operation.

Aku je la yang amik cuti.
En Hubby tak pun sebab dia tengah MC.
The whole week dia MC.
Knee injury due to jatuh time main bola.
Budak degil memang camtu.
Tak pasal2 dapat early birthday present.
Tapi tatau la kenapa, tiap kali besday kami, aku dan Hubby, kami akan ditimpa malang berkaitan kaki. Contohnya time besday aku tahun lepas, aku MC panjang sebab jatuh tangga. Refer to dis entry.

Macam kebetulan je kan.
Tapi ada hikmah jugak dia jatuh ni kan so 6 bln ni takleh main bola dah =)

oo my hubby adalah gile sukan yang agak dasat.
'haa mcm cerita yg sama tiap tahun -- refer to dis entry.

Balik kerja pukul berapa pun dia akan tetap luangkan masa utk exercise.
If takde org main bola, dia akan joging kat tepi tasik kat our housing area.
If hujan, dia akan pegi gym or main futsal with his frens.
And if malas nak keluar rumah, he will play with his thing, dumbell or tali skiping or ntah apa nama menatang gym tuh.

haih.
sgt bertentangan la ngan aku.

'ingat tak cerita tentang 1st dating kami?
ahaks.
...

no matter how hard I fall
or how bad I felt on my knees
I’ll still get up to hold you
loving you for all eternity
and smiling through all my tears
because my heart will be empty without you
and I know, I will be lost without you
my honey, dear sweet hubby, I will always love you!

so is it Medela or Spectra?
huuu~

Medela or Spectra 3?
owh... sgt confuse di sini.

Dah berbulan-bulan la dok mikir tapi sampai sekarang tatau mau yang mana.
sgt banyak pro and cons antara keduanya.

Spectra 3 (RM329.80)
Pro :
Murahan, so kalau baby takmo minum EBM tak terasa ralat sangat kalau beli benda alah ni. And bole digunakan secara heavyduty, means, takde la nak jem ke hape kalau siang mlm dok pam susu. Lagi satu, bunyi dia tak bising.

Cons :
Berat and besar. Kalau nak mengusung gi opis tiap ari plus cooler bag tu harus patah riuk tgn aku kang. And purely guna electric. Tapi bole je beli converter nak cucuk kat kete tu kan.

Medela Double Mini Electric Plus (RM599.00)
Pro :
Ringan and kecik. Sgt senang la nak bawak gi surau or bilik mana2 pun utk pam susu tu. Kalau Spectra 3 kena angkut dengan beg dia skali, harus la org ingat ko nak lari dari rumah tu kan.

Cons :
Gile mahal! Kot kalo baby takmo minum EBM harus ai meraung kang. hehe.
And bunyi dia adalah sangat bising.
And takleh guna secara heavyduty. Tatau la tapi berdasarkan review yg aku baca kat forum, memang ramai yg agree Medela adalah sangat tak sesuai kalau ko nak guna secara berterusan. Dia akan jem.

----------

Whateverpun hati aku memang lebih pada Spectra 3 la memandangkan ongkosnya lebih rendah and ramai yg bagi good reviews on this product. Tapi dok memikir jugak cemana la aku nak angkut gi bilik utk mengepam tu kan.
haih.

or shud I buy Medela Swing?
RM679.15 di kedai yg sama.
Senyap and sgt ringan.
The disadvantage is that it's for single pumping and harganya yg agak mahal.
'aa perlu ke double pumping ni weh?

And it's not for heavyduty usage.
'tapi ko bukan nak pam setiap jam pun kan...

Medela Freestyle adalah over d budget right now so mmg awal2 la terkeluar dari senarai.
hum hum.

And I'm thinking of buying that thing tomorrow at kedai xxx, JB.
Murahan oke kedai tu.
Tapi takmo bgtau nama dia kat sini so padan muka la kat 'korang' yg jaki sangat ngan aku tu kan. Best jugak la perasaan bila takyah nak share2 tempat best kat sini tapi kalau ada org2 lain selain drp 'u know who u are' tu yg nak tau nama that shop, feel free to email me at bisobonar@gmail.com. Setakat aku meronda ni memang ada 2 je la kedai baby yg best and murahan kat JB nih. Ada byk kedai lain sebenarnya tapi tak cam berapa berbaloi kalau nak gi.
