The Hospital

It's 77 days left and omg... I'm almost 30 weeks!!
macam tak percaya.
macam baru je smlm aku rasa sakit perut gile time jln2 kat IKEA ngan my brother. and that's the time when I think I knew that I was pregnant.

haha.

so kalau anak aku ni kaki jalan mmg tau la dtg dari mana =p

Last few days aku pergi checkup kat KK P. Gudang.
Sebab dah 2, 3 kali nurse tu dok call nape aku tak datang.

Bukan aku takmo dtg tapi sebab kalau pegi sana lama gile kena tunggu.
memang la free tapi adui...
Nak kena amik cuti lagi..

Private clinic cost less than RM60 and sometimes RM20 je per visit but private hospital cost around RM300+- per visit tapi adalah lebih puas hati. The best checkup yg aku pernah pegi setakat ni adalah kat Regency Specialist Hospital ngan Dr Thokha.

Tapi sebab tatau lagi nak bersalin kat mana, if sempat, insya allah akan ke specialist kat Kluang/BP which is nearer to our hometown but in case kalau tak sempat, and terpaksa bersalin kat HSI or any other gov hospital, so terpaksa la pergi checkup kat dua2 tempat...

And unfortunately my company tak tanggung any of the maternity cost, and that's the one and only benefit yg kitorang tak dapat. huhu...

But to tell u the truth, I don't really care bersalin kat mana pun, or whether it'll be a normal delivery or c-sect, as long as the baby is safe n sound, I would be the happiest mom alive ^_^

At first memang encik Hubby and my parents nak aku bersalin kat Regency or Puteri or Johor Specialist which will cost around 3K for normal and 8K if operate tapi bila aku pikir2 balik, baik dia guna duit tu utk beli brg2 baby yg best.
Lagi berbaloi and lebih baik.

Walopon byk komen2 buruk pasal HSI/HSA but I think they're not that bad compared to the other gov hospital. My colleagues ramai je yang bersalin kat situ. But whether the treatment is good or bad, dpt doktor praktikel ke, tu nasib masing2 la kan.

But then, maybe we'll opt for the specialist at Kluang since a few of my frens bersalin kat sana and they highly recommended the doctor, Dr Luqman Hakim, and the cost is quite cheap compared to the other specialist in JB.

Around 1.5-2.6K for normal delivery and around 3-5K for operation.
And most probably I'll have to go thru the c-sect due to my fibroid problem tapi tatau lagi la..

And they said Pantai and Puteri Specialist is quite good also and the cost is around that so tengoklah nanti. My fren deliver kat Pantai Mlk and the cost is only RM1700 oke. 'bestnye la kalo aku dok Mlk lagi nih. segalanya cam sgt murah...

Kalau bab nurse2 tu couldn't help it lah.. kat mana2 pun sama.. mesti ada je nurse yg garang2 malas nak layan tuh. nasib ko la kan. my sis yang deliver kat Columbia-Asia tu pun dapat nurse ganas, apatah lagi hospital lain kan.

And as for the delivery itself, sorry to say tapi pd aku, proses bersalin tu memanglah sakit and kalau Allah dah takdirkan sakit ko tu lebih drp org lain, nak buat macam mana kan. redha je la... and 8K for c-sect is, i don't know, mcm membazir. Lainlah kalau kos tu kompeni ko tanggung. sape yg tanak kan.

And lastly, again aku nak ingatkan, kalau ko tak suka dengan apa yg aku tulis, or kot ada TERASA dengan tulisan aku ni kan, tak payah la nak tergedik2 bukak blog ni okeh?

oo kalo org mengumpat aku bole and aku balas balik tak bole ye?
haha skolah mana ko belajo ni weh?

Kami ni bukanlah org kaya tapi kami percaya setiap anak, setiap kejadian yg berlaku, ada hikmah, ada rezeki yg tersendiri. Bak kata seorang kwn, bukan aku yg start dulu, diorg yg dok berlonggok mengumpat so aku yg dapat pahala senyap2 so no hal punyer kalo aku nak balas balik.

and yes, I am wicked. oh so what?
...

eh besok la aku reply komen2 kat entry lepas ye.
arini sgt tak sempat...

'hoh tetiba rasa glemer cam Greenapple laks. hehe.

Jamu-jamuan

oo ye, sebelum bercerita aku nak cakap, sape2 yg rasa tak berkenan sgt dengan blog aku ni, tak berkenan dengan cerita2 pasal harga barang, tak berkenan dengan apa yg aku share2 kat sini, ko bole blah oke.

syuh syuh syuhhhh! <--- oh, u know who u are.
kang kalo aku mencarut kat sini kang kena tazkirah plak kansss =p

As I said in my previous2 entry, ni blog aku, so aku punye suka la nak cerita apapun.

Kot aku ada terasa nak berlagak ke kansss, ko pedulik hape sebabnya ni duit aku dgn laki aku dgn segala kaum kerabat aku. Kalau ko takde duit or tanak beli apa2, ko dok la diam2 kat ceruk nuu.

sbenarnya nak ckp, sape suh ko tak belajar rajin2 masuk u pastu keje best2 or kalo ko mmg tak pandai, sape suh ko kawin dgn org mesken so tak dpt la merasa beli brg mahal2 kan.

hehe.

Tapi tak berapa nak sampai ati so cuma ckp, sila jaga badan ngan laki ko tu dulu baru nak sibuk2 mengata org lain cam macik2 kampongs dok tepi longkang.

Aku pelik btul dgn org2 yg suka sgt cari kesalahan org lain, pastu perasan pulak mcm profesor serba tau, tu tak elok, yg ni tak elok, brg tu tak bagus, padahal bila tgk badan sendiri, mak aihhh...

So kesimpulannya, cermin la diri sendiri dulu before nak mengumpat tu kan.
Kalau nampak org lebih skit dari dia mulalah nak jeles bagai.
Tak payah nak sibuk2 sgt jaga celah kain org, mcm diri korang tu bagusss sgt, pastu tak payah nak tunjuk muka manis dpn kita kalau kat belakang muncung korang mengomel mcm2.

And by the way, aku tak penah jemput pun korang merempat kat blog ni ye.
so, sila blah ok.
harap maklum.
...

*ye aku sebut korang sbb yg terlibat mengumpat adalah macik beramai2 =p

okeh, nyambung cerita.

I'm thinking of buying the jamu-jamuan next week.
Nona Roguy (NR).
online.
sebab lebih murah and free delivery and I don't have to be a member to get the member's price. oh~ sgt berbaloi ^_^

Phytonatal (180 tablets) x 1
Minyak Herbanika (260 ml) x 2
Uncang Cuci Herbanika (15 sachet) x 1
Herbanika Barut Krim (60 gm) x 1
Minyak Berubat Mustajab (130 ml) x 1

One thing I love about NR is that, dia bukan membuatkan ko kurus sekeping tapi menyihatkan kita dgn membuang segala toksik dlm badan.

I'm very sure about this product but I'm not really sure about a few things.

'is it ok if I just buy the Phytonatal (90 tabs) which will be enuff for 30 days instead of the 180 tabs for 60 days? My sis said that 90 tabs shud be enuff. kompem akan kurus tapi seksa jugak la kalau tiap kali mkn akan ke toilet tu kan. Tapi, that Phytonatal bukanlah semata2 utk org yg baru lepas bersalin tapi utk maintain badan kenalah makan continuously. So, 180 tabs mcm lebih berbaloi kan?

Second is, which bengkung to buy and how much is the normal/cheapest price?
My frens yg guna Sendayu Tinggi ramai yg tak recommed guna bengkung tu sebab leceh ke hape ntah tapi byk la komen diorang. And patut beli jenis yg lilit2 mcm tali kasut tu ke or yg roda ke or yg normal?

and Krim Barut tu cukup ke 1 tube 60 gm utk 60 hari?
coz I plan tu wear the bengkung for at least 60 days so patut kena letak krim barut tu skali kan? or just pakai bengkung takyah nak pakai krim? krim tu busuk tak eh? kalo buat pakai kat opis org bau tak? hehe.

Tungku tu plak shud I buy the modern one so that encik Hubby bole guna gak or tunggu akak urut tu bgtau camne? and which brand is the best and what is the cheapest price?

no, I'm not gonna buy the 44-days package sebab aku takkan tahan dengan bau lulur yg busuk tuh. so akan membazir di situ kalau aku beli jugak.
and akan ganti dengan lulur brand lain - maybe Puteri Binari or Temulawak.

As for air Akar Herbanika, my sis is gonna give it to me sbb dia tak minum pun benda tu time dia pantang aritu.
Sebab rasa dia sangat tak boleh telan.
But I'll try to telan jugak sebab nak baik, kan.
Tapi tengoklah nanti =p

My sis's daughter a.k.a my niece tak kena jaundice or kembung pun and she has been BF since delivery and she, i mean my sis, drops weight like crazy, so ok la, hopefully it works for me too ^_^

Some reviews on NR product :

Naik berkilo-kilo!

The good thing about being pregnant is that u could eat almost everything without feeling guilty or worrying of getting fatter.

ya, bcoz u're already fat =)

Kelmarin aku buat Kek Batik yang veri sedap.
Penyudahnya dah 3 hari ni aku brekfes dengan kek batik tanpa rasa boring.
Tgh2 mlm kalau terbangun pun bole gi bukak fridge makan benda alah tu.
kelakar jugak sebab bila aku bangun nanti Hubby tanya, 'cyg nak gi mana tu?
pastu bila aku ckp nak mkn kek dia ckp, 'laa pukul 3 pg dah ni...

ahaks.

Time kat opis pun bole plak aku dok teringat je balik ni nak mkn lagi.
gile kemaruk.

Sebab tu gaknya berat aku naik mendadak nih.

This is me @ 5 mths++ preggy during an event kat opis.
'gambar candid time mkn ketika berambut panjang.

ye, hobi adalah tak mengadap kamera time amik gambo T_T

And this is me @ 6 mths++ during monthly assembly pun kat opis juger.
'gambar candid pejam mata ketika berambut pendek.

and yes, i've cut short my hair sebab suda sgt rimas.
tapi pasni takleh potong dah sebab org ckp time pantang kena ikat sanggul tinggi2 ketat2 so that kepala tak sakit.

owhhh... tapi lihatlah perbezaannya.

Berat badan before kawin adalah 49 kg and tak penah la lebih 50 kg.
When I first knew that I was pregnant (2 mths), my weight is 51 kg.
After 5 mths, it is 55 kg.
And suddenly, semalam timbang kat KK, berat telah jadi 61 kg oke!
And semua tu berlaku dlm masa sebulan!
Seumur hidup tak penah la lebih 60 kg...
gile ah ding dong.
...

And I've stopped wearing contact lenses sebab tak tahan dengan kekeringan and kegatalan mata.

I don't know.
maybe the pregnancy.
So ok, have to opt for the glasses lah buat masa sekarang.
...

Anyway, ni resepi Kek Batik yang senang gile nak buat and aku suker tu.

Bahan-bahan :
300g Milo
1/2 tin Susu pekat
3/4 buku Buttercup
300g Biskut Marie (patah dua)
Kacang badam hancur (digoreng tanpa minyak) - jika suka
Sedikit air

Cara-cara :
1) Cairkan buttercup dalam kuali.
2) Agak-agak cair, masukkan milo, susu pekat dan sedikit air. Gaul rata.
3) Matikan api dan masukkan kacang badam dan biskut Marie.
4) Gaul sampai sebati dan tuang dalam bekas yg dah dialas foil. Tekan-tekan sedikit.
5) Sejukkan dalam fridge selama 2, 3 jam sebelum dimakan.

'hoh, no wonder la berat naik berkg2 nih!

Baby Stuff : Bedding Set

Aku sangat la jatuh hati ngan bedding ni...
'sgt comel, kiut and veri tastyyyy!! waaaa!!!

Tapi malangnya takde jual kat Aussino JB pun.
T_T

Kat S'pore ada la.
Tapi takde maknanya aku nak gi S'pore semata-mata nak beli bedding set gitu.
Harus la encik Hubby membebel panjang.

So, kalau ada sesapa terjumpa yg mcm ni or yg design ala2 gini and the price is less than RM250, sila la bagitau ye. plis plis plis... ai sgt kemaruk... T_T

Takpun kalau jumpa yang macam kat bawah ni...

Design katak hijau yg menepati citarasa.

oo ai memang suka kaler2 striking gitu.
Yang colorful dengan kartun yg besar2.
Membuat perasaan jadi lebih excited =p

And aku sangat tak suka dengan beddings kat bawah ni.
Plain design dengan kartun yg kecik2.
Macam sangat bosan.

'aa bila la Aussino nak buat sale besar-besaran kat JB nih??

Baby Checklist

I'm thinking of buying Minyak Telon from Mustika Ratu or Amway for the baby sebab bila tengok kat forum, ramai yang cakap best compared to Minyak Yuyi yg busuk tuh. And ada plak yang cakap Minyak Yuyi tu tak halal.
wallahualam...

or shud I just stick with Minyak Berubat Herba (Mustajab) from Nona Roguy (NR)?

Memang nak beli pun minyak ni sebab dia percepatkan luka jahitan tu baik.
Tapi utk guna kat baby tu...... hemm.

Ada org komen bau dia tak sedap sangat.
of cos la brg NR adalah d best ever tapi aku kalau bole takmo la yg busuk2 nih sebab yela walaupon mujarab tapi nanti aku maleh nak sapu kat baby. Kalau bau minyak NR tu best, dia bole share ngan mommy tapi kalo bau tak best, mommy terpaksa beli yg lain utk encik baby.

huuu~ tengah memikir which one is the best.

'anyone?

warmer oh warmer~

I need a camera!
I really2 need a camera... <-- pose ala2 sedeh

Guna henpon utk amik gambo adalah sgt tak best ok.
Walaupon bole edit before masuk dlm blog tapi perasaan adalah tak sama.

So, azam taun ni adalah beli kamera baru. <-- wuhuhu~ apakah maknanya nak letak azam time ujung2 taun nih?

The fabulash D90 = RM3100 (body sajer)

'there goes my Medela Freestyle... T_T

Anyway, the parcel yg ditunggu2 came yesterday.
The one that I ordered from Littlewhiz.
Nampak kotak besar isi sterilizer, warmer, thermal blanket, disposable breast pad and little mittens kat opis, perasaan adalah sgt excited!
hiks.

Tapi bila pikir2 balik, kalau aku tak beli warmer tu pun takpe kot.
Sebab mcm tak guna sgt pun.
Sebabnya, time baby dgn kita of cos akan direct BF and EBM tu akan diguna time baby kat nursery and kat sana nanti baru nak panaskan so macam takde point plak aku beli warmer tu... kecuali la kalau aku maleh nak direct BF and nak bagi botol susu je kat si kecil comel tu so akan byk la guna encik warmer.

haih.

kemaruk sebab murahan kot.
...

'aa patut ke aku jual balik kat orang eh?
RM125 pun kompem org beli sbb biasa paling murah RM135 time sale.
Tapi cam sayang pulak sebab mana tau kot memang perlu benda tu kan.
Letak kat baby's room kat tingkat atas so takyah nak ulang-alik gi dapur utk panaskan EBM tgh2 mlm.

or mana tau kot nipple aku luka parah takleh nak direct BF so bole panaskan EBM tu nanti.

or maybe aku kena gi outstation so of cos encik Hubby kena amik alih tugas bg susu so akan guna jugak warmer tu.

hum hum.

Baby Stuff : Sterilizer & Warmer

aa dah beli pun sterilizer.
Brand Tommee Tippee (TT).

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Electronic Steam Steriliser (BPA FREE) has been created for new mums and dads who have enough to think about, so this electronic steam steriliser is as easy as 1 2 3. It holds up to 6 wide neck bottles (5 closer to nature bottles) with accessories and features a 5 minute cycle time to sterilise your baby's feeding equipment extra quickly yet just as effectively. The clear digital display shows you exactly which stage the process is at and, if you leave the unit closed, counts down from 3 hours to let you know how long the bottles will remain sterile. The clever space-saving shape and flat back means it can be tucked out of the way on the kitchen worktop. The hinged lid has been specially designed so condensation runs back inside the unit when opened and, for extra safety, it's lockable to keep out prying fingers. On top of all of this, it features a detachable sterile work surface to ensure your bottles remain sterile while you prepare baby's feed.

• What's Inside?
Bottle tongs, bottle brush, a removable accessory tray that doubles as a sterile work surface on which to make up feeds a ahinged lid that's lockable for safety, convenience and travel.

• Free : 1 x 160ml Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature PP Feeding Bottle & 3 x 260ml Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature PP Feeding Bottles

----------

Aku kan jenis yang suka baca forum and reviews.
So pertama kali nampak botol TT yang comel kiut itu hati dah terpaut yang amats.
Shape dia kan mcm natural breast so since aku nak fully breastfeed/EBM, takmo la our little prince kena nipple confusion nanti. And since my sis pun guna TT bottle for her daughter and aku dah tengok sendiri kebestan botol dia, maka kompem akan guna utk diri sendiri jugak ^_^

Kebetulan last week ada sale kat LittleWhiz.
RM429.90 but RM279.00 after less for the sterilizer.
Biasanya paling murah pun takkan kurang dari RM300 punyalah.
On d spot telah bgtau encik Hubby and dia bg greenlight untuk beli.
Aku suker sebab bentuk dia sangat cantek and kemas.
Since aku memang nak beli bottle TT and kalau beli sterilizer brand lain takut tak muat plak nak masuk botol yg ngemuk montel kat dlm tu.

And aku suker sebab dia bg free 4 botol susu TT and berus botol skali.
So telah jimat di situ ^_^
Brand Avent tu paling murah aku tengok pun RM269 and takde bg free apa2 pun.

And then tup2 jumpa plak Warmer Tommee Tippee yg vouge ni kat website yg sama.

• Warms food and bottles within 4 minutes
• Designed especially for food jars and the Closer to Nature bottle (TT)
• Thermostatically controlled for safety
• Suitable to use from birth
• Suitable for milk and baby food
• Easy to use
• Control dial to adjust the temperature

----------

Gile murahan!
So telah beli juger.
Senang skit nak panaskan EBM tu nanti.
Ingatkan nak beli time sale bln 12 ni tapi bila fikir2 balik, mana tau kot takkan dpt harga murah camni lagi kan sebab selama ni aku survey, benda tu paling murah pun RM135 so gamble je la..

Lagipun free delivery kan.
ai of cos veri suker benda2 free gini =p

oo ye, kalau ada sesapa nak baca review pasal warmer and sterilizer TT, aku ada letak beberapa link kat bawah ni :

Laki aku oo laki aku

'oh rupanya encik Hubby adalah kecik ati sebab aku beli baby stroller tu tak tunggu dia.

haha.

In my last entry kan aku ada cerita tentang stroller.
Actually I went to JJ last Monday sebab dah alang-alang cuti, kan.

Encik Hubby tak ikut sebab dia MC, demam, so bergolek2 sajer dlm selimut di rumah and aku of cos sangat gembira bershopping secara solo =p

Aku cuti sebab the day before tu kami ke KL and ingatkan nak stay another night tapi sbb Hubby tak sihat so kami pun terus la pulang ke JB.

So on Monday, lepas siap2 masak bubur utk Hubby, I went to JJ Permas, Nu Skin, Metrojaya and around 6.30 pm tu si dia msg suh belikan ice blended kat Starbuck.
Dulu cadangnya nak memboikot la konon sebab US company kan tapi nan ado la sebab tak dapat menahan napsu serakah =p

Lately nampaknya telah mengidam Chocolate Chip Frappuccino tu ngan dasat.
Minggu ni je dah 2x dia minum benda alah tu pastu siap2 salahkan aku sebab memperkenalkan benda2 camni kat dia.
ahaks.

oo ye, kalau ada JJ card, ko bole dpt 10% discount kat semua branch Starbuck.
Aku baru tau sebab budak kat situ bgtau.

huu~ sgt membazir selama ni sbb tak gunakan diskaun itu T_T

ok, back to the story.

So, aku pun singgah la kat JJ Tebrau sebab nak beli makanan orang sakit tu kan.
Sebab dah alang2 gi JJ, singgah la skali kat Toy r Us ngan Modernmum sebab nak compare harga stroller pastu nak tengok ada stok lagi tak.

Sebab dlm fikiran memang akan beli yg Combi Urban Walker tu jugak.
Tapi takde la nak beli time tu sebab takkan aku nak angkut sorang2 masuk dalam kete, kan.

tup tup bila sampai kat kedai tu, 'eh, stok kaler oren tinggal satu la plak...

So aku pun call encik Hubby tanya confirm ke memang nak beli yang ni.
Kalau confirm, aku bole book dulu sebab takut stok abis. Lagipun aritu Hubby memang dah bagi duit utk beli baby's stuff.

Pastu lepas letak phone, aku dok lepak2 kat situ, try angkat the stroller,
'eh, nape ringan sgt nih? <-- bunyi cam exaggerating la sgt Tapi memang ringan pun and satu tangan je bole fold/unfold tau. Bila pikir2 balik, apa salahnya kalau aku beli sekarang, kan. Memang akan beli jugak nanti. Lagipun dah alang2 kat JJ ni baik beli terus je. So automatic telah menswipe kad plastik ittew... heee~

Balik rumah, encik Hubby tengok kat seat belakang penuh gile barang sebab aku gi shopping byk tempat tadi kan. Pastu dia cakap, 'laa... dah beli stroller jugak...

Pastu benda tu la yg dia sibuk belek dulu.
Siap tengok manual bagai.
ahaks.
Tapi takde la nak komplen apapun sebab memang dia yg semangat nak beli stroller tu dulu.

Pastu malam tu tengah baring2 nak tido, tiba-tiba slow je dia cakap,
"cyg nape beli stroller tak tunggu hubby.. tadi ckp nak book je dulu.."

"laa mana tau.. cyg ingatkan hubby tak kesah..."

"hubby nak gi beli stroller tu ngan cyg... nanti baby ingat papa tak sayang dia suh mommy gi beli sorang2..."

oh rupanya telah kecik ati sedikit.
haha.

Baby Stuff : Stroller

ok, Halford S8 itu adalah sgt berat.
Graco walopon tahan and kaler merah tapi tak berapa cantik, berat juger, and bentuk dia tak berapa kemas.

so, maybe we'll just stick to this Combi Urban Walker UR200X.

RM1299 but RM899 after less.

ye, dah beli pon =p
kat Modernmum, JJ Tebrau.

Sebab encik Hubby pun sangat suka and aku rasa best sebab veri ringan so aku bole shopping berdua-duaan ngan baby and tasty juger sebab kaler dia adalah striking orange!

Lagipun sebab aku takmo benda ni masuk dalam mimpi aku tiap hari.
ahaks.

'kan selalu bila aku nak sangat benda tu, mesti akan berada dalam kepala otak je and terpaksa carik jln untuk keluarkan.. <-- hoh, pompuan yg agak kemaruk.

Gi tengok kat KL aritu pun takde Combi yg full recline mcm ni.
Kalau ader pun harga dia more than RM1500.
cam tak berbaloi.
Baik aku beli travel set Quinny Zapp yg super vouge tu pun baru RM1498.
Cuma Quinny tu takde tempat simpan brg and senang tergolek.

So Combi stroller plus Halford Premier Neo car seat = RM899 + RM475 = RM1374.

Kebaikan :
- Combi tu sgt ringan, washable seat, easy to fold/unfold & bole guna dr NB sampai 4 thn.
- Car seat tu pun bole guna dr NB sampai 4 thn.

Keburukan :
- Warna Combi cepat kusam kot if nak guna utk next2 baby.
- Bukan 3-wheeler idaman kalbu T_T
- Halford tu adalah car seat semata-mata and takleh jadi carrier/rocker cam SCR7 kat bawah ni.

or maybe we'll just buy the car seat cum carrier/rocker for the time being.
Murahan je pun compare ngan yg Halford tu cuma takut tak guna sangat and bila baby dah besar sikit tak muat la so kena beli car seat jugak.

hem hem tengoklah nanti.
...

So, kalau ada sesapa berminat nak baca review pasal stroller Combi Urban Walker ni, aku ada listkan beberapa link kat bawah. But personally walopon ia bukan 3-wheeler idaman but I think this stroller is just SUPERB!

another year passes by...

Cuti dah approve!
yey!!!
haha. macam la selama ni bos aku tak bagi cuti kan.

but this time it's different.
oh, coz it's my birthday ^_^

29th October 2010...
of fine and simple pleasures...
many years of laughter...
all of life’s best treasures...
and I wish myself healthy and happily ever after!
*hiks*

and I can't wait for tomorrow.
sebab mmg sbenarnya suda sangat menat ngan keje.
so tak kesahlah mau ke mana pun asalkan keluar dari JB yg menyesakkan fikiran ineh.

Initially we plan to go to Mlk or PD.
Tapi macam dah alang2 better pegi KL je terus so dapat shopping brg baby.
Sebab tinggal 2 bln++ je ni so bila fikir-fikir balik, better dulukan benda yang lebih penting, kan.

Aku ok jek.
Mlk best sebab itu memang tempat yg sentiasa di hati...
PD pun best so that dapat bercuti berdua-duaan dengan encik Hubby.
Tapi KL pun takpe, since dpt buat benda yang aku suka = shopping! hehe.

and it's a...

I'm going to KL this weekend.
Sebenarnya mau ke Seremban for Aida's wedding tapi dah alang2 on d way tu singgah la KL sebab nak gi IKEA.

'mummy ngandung yg ngidam IKEA.
haha.

Tapi memang mau beli brg baby sekali.
rompers, jumpsuit, and a few other things yang gile susah nak dapat kat JB nih.
ye, kat JB sgt susah nak jumpa rompers apetah lagi yg brand cam Oshkosh, Guess, Baby Gap sume tuh.

termasuk la bakul klasik camni.
so ada sesapa tau tempat shopping baby stuff yg best area tu?

Kat sini takde pun yg besar and comel mcm dlm gambar tu.
Ada yang cantek tapi kecik la sesangat.
or patut ke aku beli wooden drawer yang kat Romantika tu utk baju baby?

oh, and guess what?

Dari awal pregnant dulu aku dah rasa the baby will be a boy.
Tapi tak kesahlah kalau dia perempuan pun aku tetap hepi.
And bila scan last 3 weeks the doctor (Dr Khadijah) said, dah nampak lelaki...
And last few days aku pegi klinik lagi sebab sakit perut yg amats.
Then utk pastikan baby takde problem, Dr Aida scan and dia pun confirmkan yg it will be a boy... last skali when I scan at Regency Specialist Hospital, Dr Thokha pun sama confirm that it will be a boy, insya allah ^_^

So, no pink-pink ye Sha.
hiks.
alhamdulillah...

Sebab dalam family aku memang tak ramai lelaki.
Family Hubby pun sama.

hoh jgn tatau, encik Hubby adalah anak emas dlm family ok.
Kalau kumpul ramai2 tu kakak-kakak dia selalu cerita mcm mana susahnya nak dpt dia dulu.
His parents siap buat kenduri besar-besaran time dia lahir ha.
Sampai la sekarang ni dia jadi anak kesayangan.
Tu yang kalau balik rumah PIL, air basuh tgn pun sedia kat atas meja, nasik sume dah siap berhidang, tak pernah basuh pinggan bagai.
Aku pun tumpang sekaki la. hehe.
Kalau dok berdua kat sini je dia terlebih rajin.
Kalau balik rumah PIL jgn harap la =p

Baby Stuff : Car Seat

Before anything, aku nak announce that CharmsAndColors are officially closed for any guestbook ordering ok. Truly madly sorry pd semua yg hantar email and sms yg tak sempat dibalas but for the time being aku memang tak larat dah. Maybe akan sambung amik order starts from March 2011 onwards.

Reason is, my health condition is not quite good recently.
and yes, I was warded and MC since last Monday.
7 hari oke.
Nak menjaga diri sendiri pun tak terdaya dah.
And for this reason, I'm sorry especially to dearest Miza yang dah ckp nak order guestbook dr bln 7 aritu.

huhu T_T

Anyway, sekarang adalah sgt addicted dengan car seat.
Since I'm now officially 24 weeks a.k.a 6-months preggy so rasa cam dah bole start hunting for this kinda thing.

In the last few entries aku ada cerita pasal SCR6 travel system.
But after some careful thinking, tak jadi pun sebab it's much too heavy and the car seat cum carrier cuma bertahan sampai umur baby 12 bln je so maybe we'll opt for something else yg lebih worthy.

Aritu kitorang jalan2 kat JJ Tebrau and tiba-tiba nampak this beautiful Combi stroller.
The price is RM1299 tapi tinggal RM899 after less.

cam sangat berbaloi sebab dia sangat best and for the first time, encik Hubby adalah sangat-sangat excited nak beli. Tapi aku cakap nanti dulu sebab takut jumpa yg lagi murah.

So for now maybe takkan beli travel system tapi akan beli stroller and car seat asing2.

And aku sangat terpikat ngan car seat Combi kaler oren kat bawah nih.
Sangat tasty!
But quite pricey compared to the other three.
Car seat is a must have for us sebab kami ni sgt2 la selalu travel.

along the winding road...

I'm soooo tired.
drop dead tired.
Badan rasa lenguh longlai la tiap kali balik keje.
Pagi pulak, time nak mangun pegi keje pun sangat lahai menguji kesabaran.
Pastu banyak pulak la order yg aku janji nak anto last week tapi tak tercapai hasrat.
Nasib baik arini cuti, bole la nak setelkan semuanya.
Pinggan mangkuk kat dapur tu pun tak berbasuh lagi.

Petang ni cadangnya mau balik kg.
Lama dah tak balik sejak raya aritu.
Mak aku jatuh tangga 2 hari lepas.
So of cos walopon takde pape tapi at least kena balik jugak la kan mau nengok2.
Pastu nak pegi HOMEFAIR kat Persada nuu.
'kan acara wajib hadir tiap tahun tuh?

Tapi my SIL mau buat acara mkn2 pulak arini.
so of cos my parents-in-law (PIL) akan dtg ke sini kan.

Operasi carik kamera dlm box mana ntah pun patutnya kena berlansung arini.
Kalo tak camne nak capture gambo2 rumah ngan guestbook yang dah siap tu kan.

Hubby adalah lebih kesian.
Dah 2, 3 minggu ni dia balik lewat.
Pastu kena ngemas rumah lagi.
Vakum, sidai kain, mop lantai...
And sgt byk outstation ke luar for his new project.
Last 2 weeks dia ke Terengganu.
Last week ke KL.
and kelmarin ke Mlk.
Malam tadi he told me that nex year most probably dia kena based in Mlk. And he asked me, ada tak mana2 division Sime Darby dkt2 situ or N. Sembilan so that I can be transferred there.

Aku of cos sgt excited sebab Mlk is one of my most fav place ever.
Kalo tak dpt transfer, I can happily resigned and do whatever job there is.
Jadi housewife pun takpe.
ai suker!

work-at-home-mother a.k.a WAHM.
there goes my comfortable shopping income...
haha.
matila kalo bos aku tau nih.

Tapi rasa mcm dah terlalu lama duduk kat Jhr nih.
Macam telah jadi satu zone yg sgt comfort.
'mcm yg aku rasa waktu duduk di Mlk beberapa tahun yg lalu...

The fact that we just bought our new home tu tak kesah la...
UniKL and MRSM tu jln kaki je dari sini.
So, anytime bole sewakan kat org, kan.

I'm the type of person who can always pack and go.

Seriesly, my life-long dream is to run and go built an attap-nipah-house at any Mediterranean/Micronesia/whatever isolated island kat dunia ni.

Nak mkn hape?
kat pulau tu ko tanam la apa2 yg patut.

or maybe I can go backpacking with my partner from places to places.
Motor riding along the road.

cam impian yg sgt horror kan.
haha.

I don't know.
maybe that's just me.
...

Dulu waktu zaman sekolah, I used to have a bf.
not really a bf but he's the closest male that I had for a fren.
But he always thinks of me as his gf, so, whatever.
And I used to love being with him.
'abihla kalo encik Hubby baca nih. si dia adalah lebih jeles dr segala-galanya =p

And walopon tak declare tapi kami terus contact sampai la aku belajar kat uni sampai aku ada real bf and he still contact me and treat me as his gf sampai my current bf time tu sgt2 jeles and mengamuk.

Last few months setelah bertahun lost contact, aku terjumpa dia balik.
kat Facebook.

And he works at Pulau X.

Macam tak percaya.
Sebab kami adalah org yg sama.
I always saw a reflection of me in him and he used to make my life full of sunshine whenever I'm with him.

What I'm trying to say is, mcm tak percaya yg dia dapat capai our life-long dream to stay and to live at an island and gets to do all the adventurous thing.

oh, don't get me wrong.
I'm happy.
I truly am.
It's just that sometimes, there's something in me just sooo wants to get out and ingat balik apa yg aku dah timbus dalam2 dulu.

And fortunately that I've found my dearest Hubby yg berfikiran rasional, yg mengikat aku dengan cintanya di sini...

the one that I love and the only reason that I stay...
the one who compliment my pack-and-go spirit ^_^
...

ISTPs have an adventuresome spirit. They are attracted to motorcycles, airplanes, sky diving, surfing, etc. They thrive on action, and are usually fearless. ISTPs are fiercely independent, needing to have the space to make their own decisions about their next step. They do not believe in or follow rules and regulations, as this would prohibit their ability to "do their own thing". Their sense of adventure and desire for constant action makes ISTPs prone to becoming bored rather quickly.

ISTPs have an enthusiastic, childlike approach to life that is attractive to others. As Introverted Thinkers, they also have some real substance to them which prevents them from being entirely frivolous and hedonic in their pursuits. They are laid-back and flexible, and generally accepting of a wide range of behavior. These attributes make them valued friends and confidantes.

Baby Stuff @ 22 weeks

Tak berapa nak bercerita tentang rumah sebab kamera aku hilang lagi.
Tak hilang pun tapi mana ntah letak.
Cam semua brg telah menghilangkan diri time operasi pindah2.
So takleh amik gambo.
So terpaksa bercerita tentang hal lain.

Anyway, I'm 22 weeks pregnant now.
Nak masuk bulan ke-6 pun.
alhamdulillah...

Tilam baby dah beli.
Harga asal is RM140.00 and it is RM99.00 after less.
Bathtub baby pun dah.
RM50.00 after less.
Beli time sale kat Baby Fair aritu.
Kalo ikutkan nak beli kat KL hujung bln ni.
Sebab dah alang2 nak ke sana kan.
Tapi memandangkan ada Baby Fair kat sini and harga dia pun berbaloi so kami pun beli je la...

Stroller and car seat maybe beli yang ni je kot.

Sebab aku nak yg 3-wheeler travel system.
means, stroller yg bole attach ngan car seat.
so that kalo baby tido bole angkat terus masuk kete takyah nak pindah2.
And Halford Hummer yg aku suka tu adalah 4-wheeler, and 3-wheeler yg lain cost more than RM1400 so insya allah akan beli yg ini sajer.

Lagipun my sis guna SCR5 yg kaler hitam tu and she said mmg best and berbaloi so lebih baik kami beli yang SCR6 ni and gunakan duit yg lebih tu utk beli brg lain.

And kami ada aim satu baby cot time Baby Fair aritu.
RM290.00 je tau after less.
Sebab yg kami dok survey selama ni harga dia dalam RM500++
So sangat berbaloi di situ.
Cuma aku tak berapa suka sebab dia kaler putih.

Sebab aku takut warna dia cepat lusuh.
Memang la lebih cantek tapi kalau kaler hitam mcm kat bawah ni nampak macam lebih tahan lama, kan?

Boy or Girl?

Kelmarin, 4 Oct 2010, telah official duduk umah baru.
Jadi penduduk tetap Flora Heights, Bandar Seri Alam di sini.

huuu~ veri tunggang-langgang oke.
Sangat menat mengemas dapur.
Takde angkat-angkat brg sangat pun tapi sebab kitchen cabinet aku kan kaler hitam, so kalo berabuk sikit pun dah nampak jelas, and bila operasi gerudi dinding utk tebuk paku or anything, maka terpaksa dilap ulang2 kali sampai fedap.

So aku cakap kat Hubby, nanti bila dah abih gantung-gantung barang sume baru aku nak ngemas balik dapur.
Tapi Ahad neh cadangnya mau buat acara makan-makan sikit.
So tak mungkin la operasi gantung2 akan selesai on time.
So, takkan nak biar dapur itam aku tunggang-langgang begitu?
haiyohhh!

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

You're more likely to be carrying a boy if...
• your baby's heartbeat is lower than 140 beats per minute
• you're carrying all out front and your bump appears "sharp"
• you're carrying low
• you're blooming in pregnancy
• you didn't suffer from morning sickness in your first trimester
• your right breast is bigger than your left
• you look at yourself in the mirror for at least a minute and your pupils dilate
• you crave salty food or protein, such as cheese and meat
• your feet become cold more quickly than before you were pregnant
• you tie your wedding ring to some thread, hang it over your stomach and it moves in circles

You're more likely to be having a girl if...

• you're carrying high
• you've missed the "blooming" period altogether
• you suffered morning sickness during your first 12 weeks

• you are more moody than usual
• you're asked to show your hands and you present them palms up
• you were the less aggressive partner during love-making when you conceived
• you eat a clove of garlic, but you don't smell of it
• you combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the resulting number is odd
• your hair has become thinner and dull during pregnancy
• you lie on your right side when sleeping
• your pillow faces south when you sleep
• your urine is dull yellow
• your previous child's first word was "mama".

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

my instinct is that, it's a BOY!
haha.
maybe nex month kot baru tau gender.
apapun, asalkan si cerdik ineh sihat, selamat dan sempurna, kami terima segalanya dengan penuh syukur... amin...

Wedding : Zaza & Azlan

eh berjaya uplod video rupenya.

haha.

pasni bole try letak video kawin aku plak.
both done by En Zaha from Pmline.
oo ye, sila pausekan lagu kat bwh sebelum menonton.
...

by the way, ni wedding adik aku, Zaza, my one and only sister, 6/6/2009 aritu merangkap tarikh tunang aku.
Sangat suweeeet hoke.
ai suker!
tapi dia dah curik lagu aku so aku terpaksa guna lagu lain.

Cerita lanjut adalah di sini dan di sini.

ai mau nyambung mempacking barang.
cam makin aku ngemas makin bertimbun lak barang atas lantai.
cam takde pekdah.
and cam sangat menat.
dah la tadi satu ari aku dok prepare utk domestic inquiry (DI) sorang staff ni.
stress oke.
tu besok2 baru cerita.
sekian.

Cerita rumah lagi~

Life has been quite hectic lately.
Takde la hari yg aku tak letih terlepek.
Memang sangat menat dengan segalanya.
Raya, ngandung, rumah dan sebagainya.

Dah seminggu lebih aku tak pegi rumah baru.
En Hubby tak bagi sebab rumah tu belum dipagar lagi.
means belum baca Yassin, doa selamat, etc.

Tak baik untuk mommy yang mengusung baby katanya.
so, ngikutkan je la...
Tapi arini mesti pegi!
Teringin oke nak tengok kitchen cabinet, langsir ngan lampu-lampu yang dah siap dipasang.

haih pompuan ineh.

En Hubby dah siap cat dining & living hall.
10 litre cat kami guna utk bahagian tu sajer.
5 litre for feature wall and another 5 litre for the rest.
Cornice pun dah siap cat.

Si dia memang ke sana tiap hari untuk setelkan keje.
And weekends memang sehari suntuk la abis kat situ.
Cuci rumah, mengecat dan lain-lain.
And buat masa ni bahagian yang akan dicat cuma dining & living hall, master bedroom, family hall and baby room sajer.
Yang lain2 adalah cat putih yg asal.

Banyak jugak benda yang dia buat sendiri.
Save bajet la katakan.
Dia bayar duit wiring, cornice, plumbing, grille ngan beli cat yg bertong-tong tu pun dah beribu-ribu.

As I said before, nak pindah rumah memang guna duit yang sangat banyak.
Kalau semua nak buat serentak tak mampu aih...
Tapi memang kesian la kat encik Hubby sebab balik rumah je satu badan sakit.
Penat tau buat keje sendiri ni.
Nasib baik kawan dia ada yang tolong jugak.

Kat kepala otak aku pulak asik terbayang wajah poster clock yg jual kat HOMMY kat JJ Tebrau ngan CS tu ngan Stickjoy kat Angsana.

Sangat tastyyy!

4-pict poster clock cost around RM250 and 3-pict poster clock about RM150.
mau letak di kitchen and master bedroom.
cam telah mengidam yang dasat.

Yang kat atas ni cam sesuai utk master bedroom kan.
Sebab feature wall ngan langsir aku kaler dark brown.

Yang kat bawah plak tatau nak yang mana sebab kitchen aku bukan besar sgt.
so kalo letak gambar besar2 cam tak sesuai.
Tapi mmg aku prefer yg bawah skali tu.
saiz dia pun sedang elok.
yg no. 2 pun cantek juger tapi agak besar untuk dapur kami.

Nasib baik arini dah gaji and tup tup ada bonus plak.
Tak banyak macam tahun2 sudah tapi alhamdulillah... lepas la nak beli brg2 rumah sikit...
Ingatkan nak beli DSLR baru (read : D90) sebab kamera aku kan nan hidup mati tamau.
lens dia memang dah kabur sgt tapi cam banyak benda lain yg lebih penting.
Lagipun harus menabung utk si cerdik kat dlm nih ^_^
Tapi harus la ai beli something utk diri sendiri kan so mesti dapatkan jugak jam ittew.
Orang lain beli jam tangan, aku dok ngidam jam dinding.

haha.
anak aku nanti mesti minat benda2 creative nih sebab time ngandung mommy dia dok buat benda2 artistic je ha.

Si bidan terjun

Aku beli sotong tadi sebab aku teringin nak makan sotong goreng tepung yg aku masak sendiri.

Sebab yg beli kat kedai tu aku rasa cam cekodok pulak.
Cam lembik lembut tak menepati citarasa.
Aritu masak kat kg tak dapat makan byk sbb orang ramai, kan.
So berazam nak masak besok.
Arini tanak masak sebab aku menat.
Tadi setengah hari jadi penceramah jemputan utk politeknik di sini.
Ada program kerjaya di sana.
Bidan terjun sebab encik bos tak dapat pergi.

takpelah... best juger.
Walopon di opis suda banyak kali bagi briefing and roadshow utk program2 HR pd staff tapi bercakap dalam dewan depan 200 final year student adalah pengalaman baru.
ye, kanak-kanak yg nakal2 gatal2 belaka.
tak nampak gaknya perut aku yg suda ke depan nih.
tup tup ada pulak la yg sibuk tersengih-sengih mengorat, bg flying kiss bagai sepanjang aku bercakap tu.
si pengerusi majlis pun awal2 lagi suda menginform status aku yg suda berkahwin.
ahaks.
agaknya inilah perasaan kalo jadi lecturer/guru muda ye.

teringat zaman belajar dulu.
Ada sorang lecturer pompuan yang student laki sangat suka.
Ms Norain nama dia.
Walopon dia ngajar tak berapa best tapi sebab dia cantek lawa, maka semua pun rajin ke kelas dia.

oh, rindunye aku!
tak sabar nak jumpa diorang time kenduri Aida nanti.
Ann, Watie.. u ols pegi tak?

And ini adalah resepi Sotong Goreng Tepung yang aku suka.

Bahan-bahan :
5 ekor sotong
1 biji telur
8 sudu besar tepung jagung (ikut byk sotong. kalo kurang tambah la, kalo lebih kurangkan..)
Sedikit sos tiram

Cara-cara :
1. Masukkan semua bahan tadi dalam satu mangkuk.
2. Gaul ala kadar and masukkan satu-satu dalam minyak panas.
3. Hidangkan.

Aku tak tambah air sebab air dari sotong tu dah cukup and jgn gaul lama-lama sangat sebab nanti dia jadi cekodok. And aku tak letak garam pun sebab dah letak sos tiram.

Bulan ke-5...

Dah bulan ke-5 pun.
Before raya aritu dari bln ke-2 hingga bln ke-5 berat naik 300g sajer.
'kau ado preknen 5 bulan berat naik 300g je???

Saspen gak aku.
Sebabnya aku memang kuat mkn.
Time tak pose keje adalah mengunyah je.
Lunch tak penah skip.
And selalunya aku org pertama yang gi cafe.
Tapi memang dari dulu berat aku susah nak naik kot.
Kecuali time belajar kat uni dulu and time wedding aritu.
Stress gaknya kot sebab tu makan lebih dasat dari biasa.

Time bln pose lak, buka at least ngan 2 juadah, nasik ngan laksa or nasik ngan rojak or something2.

Sepanjang hidup, tak penah la aku tak kuat makan.
And sepanjang preknen, tak pernah pulak aku muntah.
So nape berat badan bertambah 300g sajer??

ok, ok sila bersyukur sebab badan tak naik bagai dipam-pam.
Perut of cos telah nampak ke depan.
Tapi aku tak pakai baju ngandung lagi.
Baju raya taun ni pun saiz XS you!
haha berlagak tak hingat.

Tapi itu kesah sebelum raya.
Setelah seminggu lebih beraya, berat telah naik sebyk 3kg.
gile ah ding dong.
Sejak dok Jhr balik, which is sejak 3 tahun lepas, berat aku tak penah lebih 50kg.
tup tup ni... bila dia naik meroket sakan la pulak.

Anyway, arini adalah teringin nak masak resepi kat bawah nih.
Amik dari DayangJack & LinaPG and sume ckp sedap gile tu yg ai mesti cuba.

Udang Masak Madu

Bahan-bahan :
400 gm udang basah (diperap bersama serbuk kunyit, garam dan 1 sudu makan tepung jagung selama 10 minit. Kemudian digoreng sehingga garing)

3 ulas bawang putih*
3 sudu makan madu (dibancuh dgn 60 ml air)
2-3 biji cili api (diketuk)
1 sudu makan sos cili
1 sudu makan jus lemon (boleh guna jus limau kasturi, limau nipis atau jus oren)
Sedikit daun ketumbar (dihiris)
1/2 sudu besar kicap pekat

Cara-cara :
1. Kisar bahan2 bertanda *.
2. Panaskan sedikit minyak di dlm kuali. Tumis bahan2 kisar hingga garing.

6. Gaul mesra selama 10 saat. Tutupkan api. Hidangkan.

****boleh tambah sos tiram atau garam jika suka (terpulang pd citarasa sendiri)

I wish for...

ntah.
tatau pun nak tulis apa.
Macam sangat banyak dalam otak tapi tatau mau keluarkan yg mana.
Cerita tentang baby.
Buku merah.
Pregnancy checkup.
Raya.
Puasa...
dan progress rumah.

Dan macam sangat bizi lately... (typical!)
Kerja yang sangat banyak di opis dan rumah.
We have to empty the house by end of this month.
Tapi baru satu kotak je yang aku dah ngemas.
Baju-bajuan harus la disumbat dlm plastik hitam.
Tapi takleh buat awal-awal sangat takut lipas makan pulak.

Progress rumah setakat ni adalah ok.
Kami tak renovate banyak mana pun.
Tapi alhamdulillah... semuanya berjalan lancar.
17hb ni kontraktor siap pasang kitchen cabinet.
And cornice pun insya allah siap dlm minggu ni.
Langsir baru nak tempah arini.
ntah bila la baru siap ye.

Curtain rails/rods tu Hubby pasang sendiri.
Jimat sikit.
Aritu ukur kat kedai tu sampai RM600 dia charge utk satu rumah ha.
Padahal raw material dia tak mahal mana pun sebenarnya.
Driller tu bole pinjam kat my abah.
Tangga je la kena carik ni.
Nak pinjam kat abah pun bole tapi satu keje pulak nak ngangkut dari Ptn nuu.

Lampu, kipas and water heater dah setel.
Last few days org tu anto.
Free-of-charge from Tampoi to PG.

And lepas raya nanti baru cat rumah kot.
Encik Hubby mengecat sendiri.
Itupun interior sajer.
Living, dining, kitchen, family hall & bedrooms.
Luar rumah nanti-nantilah.
Cam kesian je dia nak memanjat tinggi-tinggi tu.

And I wish for sooo many things for our new house.
Tapi kan, yg basic2 ni pun dah guna duit berbelas ribu.
Nampak gaya cam kena ngumpul duit balik la utk dapat yg diimpi nih.

And here are the things that we want for the house yg kena nunggu ada duit lebih/bonus baru bleh beli :
1. New curtains (for bedroom 3 & 4)
2. Carpet (living room/family hall/master bedroom)
3. Faux tree (that looks real)
4. Wall-to-wall mirror (dining room/family hall/master bedroom)
5. 6' mirror (living room)
6. Room divider
7. New sofa (large 3-seater fabric sofa)
8. Sofa bed (for living room)
9. Built-in wardrobe
10. New bed
11. Tinted windows
12. Extend the kitchen
13. Bathroom mirror (bathroom 2 & 3)
14. Extra bookshelf (for my extra-extra books)

Tatau pun nak apa lagi.
Tu je la kot buat masa ni.

Kami tak beli perabot pun sebab Hubby dah beli time nak kawin aritu.
Tapi cam nyesal pulak beli sofa awal-awal.
Sebab rumah yang kami duduk sekarang, dindingnya kaler pink, so matching la dgn sofa dark fushia+black ni. Tapi tema living hall yg baru adalah ala2 olive brown. So mcm sofa tu nampak terpinggir di celah2 kaler itu. Tahun depan la kot baru beli baru.

Carpet and wall divider tu nantilah... tak berapa penting sangat pun.
Banyak benda lain yg lebih diperlukan sekarang nih.
Bathroom mirror utk bilik air tu next month kot baru nak beli.
Aku jumpa satu kedai best yg murah kat Johor Jaya nuu.
Delfino.
Orang lain jual dlm RM100, kitorang dpt RM30 je.
Tu pun setelah tawar-menawar.

huuu... everything seems to be too expensive for us at this moment T_T

Tapi aku nak faux tree tu jugak.
Nak letak kat living hall.
sangat cantekkk!
Nanti-nanti la ye baru beli.

Wall-to-wall mirror tu of cos kena tunggu time bonus taun dpn.
Tak mampu aih..
Aritu survey2 pun dlm 2, 3 ribu jugak.

And nak extend kitchen nunggu la time aku ada 3, 4 org anak kang.
Ni setakat kami berdua ngan baby sorang, memang sunyi sepi je rumah tu ha.
Dapur yg sedia ada tu pun dah cukup luas. Ko nak main lumba lari pun bole.
Kot kalo aku jerit dari bilik tido kompem2 Hubby kat bawah tak dengar.
Harus la ai saspen kalo Hubby gi outstation lama2 kang.

Kesimpulannya, biar la nambah rumah tu sikit2 jek.
Setahun 1 brg pun ok.
Takyah nak buat loan ke hapa sebab kang nak membayar tu sakit jugak.
...

okeh, ai nak gi Giant.
nak nempah langsir pastu nak buka pose.
Si dia ngajak nengok wayang.
Tapi hape kekdahnya nak nengok wayang time bln2 pose ni kan.
cam akan tertido menat je kat TGV tu ha.
Lagipun besok nak ngemas rumah ngan dasat.

so, pas raya nanti kita nengok wayang ye Hubby ^_^
