I just feel like it

I just so in the mood to blog, but I dont even know what to write about.

Oklah, let's start with - Rayyan. Oh, well what else? :")

Just a few days ago, he found out how to crawl forward (yes, before was all backwards!). Now wants to stand up on his own. Everytime that he's playing in his cot, he will try to pull himself up. Hands on the railing, and most of the time, tak berjaya to go all the up on his feet. Tapi sampai la kat lutut dia. Kalau kita rendahkan lagi the tilam punya level, I think he might be able to do so. :)

While baring2 with us, He will dtg and again nak pegang badan kita n bangun.

Takyah tunggu kan?? Straight to the next level! :) Proud of him, of course.

Secondly, its my car.

One day, Jessie and I (with Rayyan) pegi ke Pavilion. Masa nak start keta tu susah. Pastu bile dah jalan, aircond dlm kereta pulak jadi tak sejuk. Aiyoh. Stopkan kereta pulak dekat the nearest gas station. Matikan enjin & hidupkan semula. Everything ok. And terus la pegi and balik je dari Pavilion tu dgn selamatnya.

3 days after that, biler kita nak keluar bertiga, kita akan pakai kereta I. Sebab dah siap install car seat and stroller pun suma dah siap ada. Sekali dah tak boleh nak start. Ada lampu indicate that ada problem ngan electronics. Aiyo.

So, hari ni baru la Amin tolong panggilkan tow truck and hantar ke Proton Edar Platinum. Oleh sebab arini ari Sabtu, kena hantar sebelum 12pm. Nasib jugak sempat. :) Kereta tu mmg pun dah patut pun pegi service. Kalau dah due lama giler tu faham lah, yang ni baru jer masuk waktu. Takperlah.

Dah ada kereta sendiri, kena la jugak berbelanja kat situ.. kang kalau takde kereta sendiri susah jugak. Ni KL beb, kalau ada public transport senang. Hmmph. Lain citer.

Anyways, my parents bought it pun bukan utk orang lain. Untuk kesenangan I gak, nak pegi keja and segala. Nak gi mana2 gerak sendiri je. Yes, Alhamdulillah. I'm blessed with wonderful parents yang sentiasa nak lengkapkan keperluan.

So I hope the car will settle la dgn selamatnya. And bill pun tak perlu la melambung sgt ya. :)

Bercakap pasal bill. Semlm kira dah cukup lah, selesai. Saya membeli barang keperluan nak start kerja. Ish, orang ingat kalau breastfed babies ni sgt la senang mak pak dia takyah kuar duit lansung. Suka ati hang! Hehe

Mmg la kami tak perlu nak beli bertin2 formula milk yang boleh sampai RM200 per month. Tapi saya percaya dgn investment. Kita kuar duit lebih skit sekali pada awal, and kalau jaga and InsyaAllah lama la bertahan barang2 tu. Takde la cakap murah tu tak elok, yg I beli pun bukan la mahal beribu pun. Hehe. Just trusted brand and mencapai tahap penggunaan yg ganas cam I nih.. hehe. Takleh wat lembut2. :P

Anyways, barang yang dah siap beli adalah seperti berikut:-

1. cooler box Coleman + Chillers Brite Ice 6 Pack

- beli dekat Jusco. We all dah jadi member Jusco kan, and Amin telah meredah the member sale. The box was originally RM89 dapat 50% discount! The Chillers Brite Ice 6 Pack is only RM20 dapat 20% discount. Berbaloi? Yes sgt. Icebox ni nak buat storage for my EBM (Expressed Breast Milk) masa kat office nanti. Walaupun ada fridge tp takmo la share. Lagipun dalam bilik operation fridge tu. Sendiri simpan and transport balik umah lagi senang.

2. Nursing Bra

- Semalam pegi FabulousMom punya kedai kat Taman Tun. I tot beli la brand tu punya bra coz its cheaper la kalau nak banding kan ngan Mothercare, Debenhams (the one I have now tapi tak best sgt!) and also Mark&Spencer. Sekali, sorry babes, I bukan category wanita Malaysia. Haha. Tak muat bahagian cup tu. Last2 I beli from brand Medela. Oh, sgtlah comfort! I love them. Terus je la beli tutup sebelah mata coz in the end harga dia was RM99.99 for Seamless Underwire Bra and RM89.90 for Seamless Softcup Bra. Hm, nak wat camna. Long run. Barang sendiri nak pakai pun kedek susah lah. :P Oh, nasib la ada 10% discount. Hehe.

But, I strongly suggest sleep bra dia. Pergh, senang kerja pada waktu malam. :)

3. EBM storage bottle and extra Ice packs

Yang ni pun beli kat FabulousMom jugak. Dan dan dah ada kat situ. Coz, Medela punya bottles, I only have 4 bottles. But biler nak hantar to the nursery, I need at least 6 bottles. And yang mana nak guna kat opis lagi kan. Aiyoh. So now ada dah 10bottles. Cukup la buat masa nih. I bought the Mom's Precious Breastmilk Storage of 6packs. The best things bout them, are - BPA free, cheaper than Medela bottles and they fit into my Medela Swing Breastpump.

Ice pack extra ni pulak from Mom's Precious Reusable Ice Pack of 2sets. Yang ni beli pun saja nak bagi extra 'support' nak sejukkan Icebox I tu nanti. Nanti bile I dah start pakai, I will post it up here lah...

4. Baju dan seluar kerja.

Ini lah motip pegi Pavilion aritu. Kat Parkson ada jumpa black pants and after discount is RM60++. Ko giler murah gitu? Harus grab! Hehe. Pastu jumpa gak sehelai baju kemeja hitam disana.. Pastu di Ms Read takde sale tapi dah terkenan kat 2 baju. Tapi grab yg colour oren tu jer.. Sehelai lagi kaler ijau tp tak amik la yg tu. Len kali, next gaji or sumthing.

Pegi pulak ke Bangsar Village nak teman my mom beli baju for her dinner. Last2 dia pulak telah mensponsor 2 heli baju linen. 1 white and 1 stripey pink + white. 1st time baju linen terasa seperti lembut.. Wah. Best & lawa! TQ Ma. (Walaupun dia taktau kewujudan blog nih hehe)

So ada lah, 4 baju and seluar untuk memulakan hidupan bekerja yg sudah 7 bulan saya tinggalkan. Hehe. Yes, we buy clothes like once a year thing.. My old baju rasanya cam dah lama sgt je. Sian. Tp itulah saya. Mmg pakai sampai lunyai, baru la beli baru. Or kalau ada special occasion baru la beli.

Lagi pun size nih, size camni kena gi kedai yg agak mahal. Kan best, if badan cam slim melim. Byk tol baju kecik2 nih harga dlm RM20 je gitu kan. Lagi2 time sale. Hehe. Takpelah, tu bahagian dorang.

5. Make up - belum beli.

Blusher & Foundation saya dah rasa cam gatal2 skit lah. Aiyo, mmg dah lama pun... and tinggal sipi2 pun.. So I need to tambah pada collection. On normal days, I dont wear make up. Its all natural, but because of what I do. Meeting alot of people everyday and wajib la memakai make up. Rupa orang la skit. Hehe. Lgpun masa preggy mmg tak pki lansung. Sgt tak kuasa!

Klu nk beli pun, I will buy the new mascara from Maybelline, 1 set of eye shadow yg ada dark and light hues from Maybelline, 1 lipstick coz the only one I have dah la dah patah and now dah nak abis and dats all la kot. We'll see.

Ok now, dah lapar :) Rayyan pun dah bangun. So I gtg.

Sekali byk cerita daa...

My dream... for now :)

This might be new to some, but I've always loved to bake. I just never had the chance :P

Ye lah, if I have the time there's so much that I'd like to do as hobby. I love to sew. I love to cook. I love to bake. I like to manage house too.

Anyways...

When I was younger, I have an aunty who is very good with baking. Dia belajar baking and beli all her baking stuff kat US masa dia duduk kat sana and she even made me a teddy chocolate cake on my 9th Birthday. Wah suka time tu. She used to have a catalog of cake designs and I tak abis2 la membelek catalog tu asal pegi umah dia. Konon wish that one day, I pandai la nak buat. Semenjak itu lah, angan2 ku mula terbina...

Hasrat atau minat ni dah lama terpendam.

Skang, telah menjadi kenyataan. Alhamdulillah. :)

Seiring dgn itu, saya bercita-cita... bermimpi2.. untuk mendapatkan this super sexy stand mixer! Mak aih! Sangat la lawa!! To die for! Dont you think so?

It's the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer.

Woot! Woot!

Here are the colours to choose from.

Indecisive person that I am. I still can't decide on which colour (konon) kalau nak beli tu. Hehe. Berangan dulu. Apa salahnya?

I kind of like the 'Majestic Yellow' and Amin likes 'Matt Grey'.

But I guess in the end, it depends on the colour of my future (aceh) kitchen. Right? Whether I want it to blend in or totally outstanding! I wont pick white or black coz, having suma colours nih.. takde maknanya!

Jom tgk gambar2 mixer ni dlm kitchen... I can't wait!

This is also a nice colour!

Red pun cantik, tapi tak hmm menarik perhatian ku

Wah, simple nya kan?

Nampak tak mana dia? Hehehehe... Woww! Lawa! I suka!

Lagi2 kalau ada island gitu. I nak yang marble kind boleh? Eh citer lain pulak nih :P

Soooo cutee yang nih!

Kalau ada nih, boleh asik kerja nak bake jer nih... keja lain tak wat nih... heheh

Click here to read a review on this product.

InsyaAllah. Kalau rezeki tu, dapat jua nanti kan? Kita kumpul duit slow2. Awal2 pun watper kot kan. Dapur pun takde lagi.

BTW, kat Gardens its RM2899 Whoaah! Kalau kat US ratus2 jer... :P

Also a video buat lagi meleleleeehhh...

Ya, mmg tak sabar dah!

I am the WINNER!

Wow, I still could not believe this!

When I went online this afternoon, the first thang I did was to go to my blogger, and check out the updates of MOBS! I was extremely happy and excited when MOBS said that the result be announced later today - yesterday lah.

So I waited till the evening and still no update. I had my fone with me. Teringat je, akan check la. Excited kan? Honestly, I was sooo positive bout this contest and I reaallly want a cool diaper bag also lah. Hehe.

After dinner, still nothing yet. I checked my email. To see if they have sent it there. I dont know how it goes kan, sebab ni my first time!

Amin came back from work, prepared his dinner and while he makan I went online again and see la kalau ada good news kan... and

TADA!

Wowww! Dah nak gegar rumah dah punya happy! Syukur, I dont know what more to say. Wee, thank you to MOBS & Fashionista Mom for this opportunity! I'm so happy!

I'm up for the next interesting contest! Wee!

Flash Mob - I LIKE!

This is crazy...!

Amin showed me yesterday, the one that they had @ KLCC for iPhone 3G event! Gosh, and now the biggest in history @ 24th Season Event of OPRAH with BEP!

I am so tergamam and would love to join if I had the opportunity! Even Rayyan pun tgk everytime I pasang. Haha. Super coolness!

On a second thot... NAHHHH... Kau ingat? Apa senang2 je nak bagi? Tak dapat jack...

Hellooo! Meow!

Heyya again.

Today Ive got a notification from Firefox, inviting/requesting me to upgrade my browser. Since I wasn't doing anything at that time, I agreed and proceed with the installation.

Normally I would just ignore their ads. And move on with my surfing, but this time terfikir pulak nak change my themes for both iGoogle and Firefox.

Previously, my iGoogle was from Pocoyo! Sebelum Rayyan beranak, mak dah suka dulu dah. Hehe. The whole time I was pregnant, I used that la. Bg semangat baby2 skit kot kan. :)

So skang I fikr pilih la something yg I sendiri suka... Apakah? Tak lain tak bukan-

HELLO KITTY!

Clap! Clap! Clap! Sukaaaaaaaa..!

Tho tak byk yang lawa sebenarnya.. but I found one that I really like! Yeay!

So, this is my new theme! My likey!

Lagi semangat - lagi menaikkan taraf ketagihan internet ku ini.

Mommy loves Hello Kitty, Rayyan loves Panda

Hasilnya sangat comels! Heheh! Im gonna get one of those!

*Hello Kitty Picts are (obviously) not from me, I got it online but forgot from where lehh. Credit to the owner*

Esok punya plan is to go to MMU, to get my certs! Hehe. Boleh tak...? Gambar grad suma dah gantung! Dah masuk CV dah suma.. cert tak amik2 lagi :P

Nites!

Trapper Keeper

Oh man...

Sehari suntuk, duk memikir apakah nama folder binder yang I used to have masa primary school dulu sampai la sekolah menengah pun pakai gak.

Even smsed my cousin Kak Ju, to ask her - the brand name. Coz, mmg haprak lupa teruih..

Sampai la malam tadi, kepala dah duk runsing.. teruk benar kan punyalah nak tau nama folder tu. Pastu, atas suggestion anak number 2 i, aka husband i sendiri tu.. supaya I search "popular 80s stationary"

tak dapat lagi.

duk tukar2 keyword, pusing2 sana sini and I finally jumpa.

Mak aih, happy btul! And yang paling paling best is that I got a picture of the Trapper Keeper design that I owned dulu..! Here it is! Stylo kan?

I dunno if i still have them tak.. mana tau kat cerok2 kotak i yang lama kat rumah my mom nih. Yes, ada lagi khazanah, but i doubt it la. I guess i dah buang dah. Kalau btul dah buang, ngong la i time tu!

See, this is why i keep crap! hahaha.. sbb one time in future nanti i will regret buang ker, kasi orang ker, hilang ker.. ishh..

Masa kecik2 dulu.. my cousins pun ada jugak.. and mmg dah terpesona so I had to get one for myself too! Beli kat Toys R Us ngan my parents. Sebab kat situ jer yang ada jual. Agak2 mahal gak menda tu, dah imported kan. Sian my parents sbb anak dia ni, tak men-demand 24/7.. tapi kalau dah nak tu MESTI kena dapat.. hahah fair wat?

Selalunya I bawak my Trapper Keeper tu ke sekolah biler time periksa... and lebih2 lagi masa kat Sri Aman... aiyo, bring back alot of memories la. Ya, saya ganas.. bak kata Amin, mmg tak pandai jaga barang. The folder kat dalam tu, dah banyak kali gak koyak. Even lubang dia pun dah koyak terus, dah tak boleh nak bind to the folder. Tapi, sayang gak... asik repair jer. Tak silap dah rupa belacan la jugak menda tu. hehehe..

Ok la tu, menunjukkan saya pakai... simpan2 and sayang2 nak watper? Saya pakai hingga ke akhir hayat ok!

Kalau ada lagi, sure sayang nak pegi beli. But, Dont think ada lagi kat Malaysia nih.

TJ - U pun ada tak?

Check out their ad!

Diamonds

Yes, I am a big fan of diamonds!

So finally, Amin got me these diamonds to letak on my fone.. been wanting to have this dah lama dah. I dont realy like the design of the fone I am using now. Adanya sticker nih, hm nak kata lawa.. dari jauh je la.. hehe.. tangan seni ku dah makin hilang.. tangan menaip je skang.. Hehe

But it looks alright... Cuma the back jer yg ada sticker, depan lom lagi... Tak tau macam mana nak design...

Amin is gonna go get my spects yg we hantar repair for a year already.. Harga repair RM300 hokay..! Oleh kerana dia Oakley, rasanya berbaloi la since its a new frame... Beli pun was RM900 kan... Nak beli baru, hmmm lagi la tak berbudget... Ni pun dah setahun baru ada $$ lebih nak pegi amik... hehe. The old black one, mmg dah tak kuasa nak pakai lagi... alignment dah larikk.. power tahun 2005 punya.. hmm.. lansung dah seminggu tak pakai.. sakit mata tuhan jer yg tau... 2 malam dah makan pain killer - sakit mata, pening and penat gak la kot... being the one yg paling tak cukup tido, rest and time... Aishhh.. (oklah.. ni bukan blog cerita sedih atau menagih simpati atas kesempitan & malapetaka hidup hakhakhak) SO Horaaayy! Im getting my spects TODAY!

Shopping again!

Hello again... 

As planned, May will be the month we habis belikan all the essentials for the baby and I gak. Gaji pun masuk on time. So just nice! 

Amin got back on Thursday gak from Singapore, but I still tido umah parents that nite as barang suma masih ada kat sana... and I was getting comfortable there.. Rasa cam kejap je kat sana.... 

Got back and ajaked Amin to go buy things je today. Senang citer kalau boleh wat suma skang nih je kan? A few days ago, Amee informed me that Debenhams were selling very cheap and pretty nursing bras... also today, I went to Giant's website and check out the price for their diapers. MMG sgt ngam. 

We 1st went to have our lunch and then only start buying stuff. Skang agak senang la nak beli barang, coz we already know what to get kan. 

So below are some of the things that we've bought today... 

[ 1 ] Mamypoko diaper for newborn 52 pcs -RM 32.49 

+ spoken to a few frens and apparently this is one of the best brand. Doesnt leak and yada yada... only thing is that, more on the expensive side. Yg best jugak, it has a pouch that wont kena the baby's tali pusat. So we terus bought 3 packs and thats also the maximum we can get at a time.  

[ 2 ] Bath towels and Burp towels - RM 9.99 each

+ Just in case that we need to use for anything kan? Burp tu mmg to letak je atas bahu... 

[ 3 ] Mothercare Breaspads 100pcs - RM 39.00

+ Baik punya bundle tu kan? Hehe. Its just breast pad, and paling byk quantity dia. 

[ 4 ] Dettol Hand Sanitizer - RM 13.59

+ Amin and Mom are gonna be strict about this, I warn ya! hehe.. Before you hold the baby, you gotta use this first! Germs free! :P Esp smokers.. hehe.. so kitaorg dah siap2kan beli... kalah ICU nanti ok? 

[ 5 ] Nursing bra @ Debenhams, twin pack - RM 53.70 from RM 179.00

+ Isnt that crazy? Giler sale kan? Dah la its designed by the baby book's author that we've got. Dr Miriam Stoppard... Tapi the sizes a big la... I got mine a little bit bigger, the cup...  As advised.

[ 6 ] Tommee Tippee Bottle Brush

+ Amin likes this one the best... and its designed to clean this type of bottle pun kan, better. It has a rubber material at the point to clean up the teat.  

[ 7 ] Tommee Tippee BPA Bottle 150ml - RM 29.90

+ Mmg dah suka kan, Amin tot its best that we take 2. Senang citer.  

[ 8  ] Pureen Baby Wipes with Vitamin E- Twin Pack 200pcs per tub - RM 23.49

+ Im not sure how good it is, but will see how nanti kan? I've heard that Anakku pun elok, nanti la try satu2... 

And here is our hospital bag. Belum habis lagi pack, tgh tunggu blanket from Jechie! Also a few baju for me.... 

[ 1 ] Bag of my sanitary pads

+ the hospital will gimme some while im there and the rest I punya je la.. pakai the one that Im comfortable with.  

[ 2 ] Sikat

[ 3 ] Toiletteries Bag

+ Ada toothbrush, toothpaste, sabun and yada yada yg baru lagi and akan terus pakai biler di hospital nanti. Cuma baru teringat deodarant yg tertinggal.. :P  

[ 4 ] Breastpump 

+ Bawak ni gak coz in case tak dpt nak breastfeed, I still can express and give to baby. :) Just in case kan. 

[ 5 ] Breast pad

+ Bawak terus. Just in case gak. Kang leaking, apa kes pakai tissue je?  

[ 6 ] Baby stuff 

+ 01 bring home clothes, 3 onesies, 01 sleepsuit, 2 mittens, 01 hat, 01 newborn shoes, 05 socks, 5pcs diaper and, er yes thats all that we have now. 

[ 7 ] My stuff

+ Kain batik, 2 socks, 01 front buttond shirt, 2 nursing bras and the rest like baju, Amin's baju, towels, slippers and other stuff will be added biler dah siap basuh and all. 

Alhamdulillah. Selamat sudah part nih. 

Finally... #2

Today, we all woke up pretty early.. yeap Amin now wakes up earlier than before..  hehe.. rasanya dah terbiasa waking up early everyday to work, earlier than EVER!

 

Amin decided that today we go buy more things for the baby... hm, I on jer! heheh.. I suka! suka nak jalan2! He also needed to potong rambut, it was already panjang and hmm.. asik tangguh2 je kan... tapi ari ni he made sure that he do it! Goodie, looking much better now! I just like it when he's all smart and neat looking. Sejuk hati kan? :) 

Boleh pulak time tu hujan, so we straight pegi ke OU. Parking as usual la susah sgt nak mencari. Got an illegal one, coz, dah terlampau ramai orang... As long as the parking tak susahkan org, ok jer.. kan? :P Alasan...

Oh, before we left the house.. we made a list of things to buy today... if poss..

 

1) Belly support - The most important thingy now.. 

2) Nursing Bra x 2

3) Breast pad

4) Tommee Tippee - BPA free and Anti Colic with Valve - 2 of the 260ml and 1 of the 150ml 

5) Changing Mat -  the Blue/Pink rubber kind from Pureen i think- Its nice to have the hippo type from Mothercare also! hehe 

6) Bottle brush - Tommee Tippee

7) Nipple Cream : Earth Mama Angel Baby or Medela Purelan

8) CAR SEAT! 

As soon as we arrived, we had King Pie for Brunch..and to alas perut, coz my cousin Kak Nany going to make Mee Bandung for me... ! Wee! yes, I love her Mee bandung the best! Also to visit my auntie and uncle.. as Ive not been seeing for MOONNNTTHHSS! the pie was good, me likey! lebih makan the pastry than the inti.. :) 

Straight to Mom's Care on the new wing section... tgk2 kalau ada jual the bottles or anything from the list... tapi takde yg apa we are looking for... then straight to the shop Bebehaus to go see the car seat... The car seat that we want ada available in 2 shops in KL ni jer - Bebehaus and Mothercare... but Mothercare bring in limited quantity and colour.. sabar la, biru and merah je boleh okeeh?

Heheh sian Amin, mmg dah tak sabar, as car seat mmg bahagian dia utk decide and cari the one thats good..  Luckily for us, the discount of 10% was still available.. Yee Pee! We didnt get the Chilli Colour that we like coz thats the 2009 punya colour.. we got to add a few hundreds for it kalau nak... everything else is the same.. ONLY colour.. hm, tak payah... colour is just colour.. nak kejar trend/up to date ngan colour jer... baik simpan duit tu wat menda lain kan? Apa apa pun, we are already happy with this one!

So, without much thinking (sebab dah berbulan2 thinking and surveying), we took it! Coz, mmg this is the best choice for us.. and the price pun reasonable to compare to the other convertible car seats that are avaible. I seriously think that it is even better than BRITAX or even MaXI CoSI... (no offense to anyone yg beli or planning to buy, its just our thots la) 

Amin wanted to get the carrier type so its mobile, baby can be put in there and bawak la kehulu hilir and it can be as a infant car seat gak! But you see, if we get that, the carrier cost around RM850 and to be an infant car seat you got to BUY the base which cost the same RM 850 around there- additional...! Infant carrier boleh guna dlm umur 12 months or a certain Kgs. Most of the time, boleh je la sampai 8 months if you have a big baby.... then later u got to buy another car seat RM 1,200 for 12months and up to 4 years old.. :) Not worth it kan to have byk2 barang and nak kena beli berkali kali.. and you eventualy spend more money...rite? Since mmg agak budget tapi dlm nak beli yg paling elok and safest for baby... and not spending more than we shud, so the answer was CONCORD ULTIMAX! You can read all about it here

 

The shop also sells the Medela Swing Breastpump that I was looking for.. Normal price is RM768. And I also mintak TJ's help to find me one in Melb. She can found only one shop in Melb (aiyo tak laku ke Medela Swing di sana? hehe) and then the price that she got was RM600! Jeng Jeng Jeng... I was excited and tunggu time nak ckp ngan TJ to just buy. I asked mom and she said to spend so much on the breastpump as I might use it for a while and give up. But, I SERIOUSLY want to breastfeed my lil one. Coz its the best for the baby, immunity dia, brains development and suma will be better that other baby who takes formula milk. And not forgeting the BOND that the baby and I will have.

 

Since Ive put my mind into it, and I tot, whatever... I will get this good pump and try my best to breast feed this baby... so, not only me, Amin and the rest of the family will have the chance to feed him as well.. its also portable and I can bring to office when i start working. SO I seriously hope that it'll be smooth sailing for me to experience and giving the best for the baby... and thats why WE BOUGHT IT!

 

Since, dah beli the car seat, I am now a member, we got 10% off for the breastpump, RM690 jer.. so ok la tu.. in between ngan harga kat Melb. But apa apa pun, thanks to TJ and Auntie Anin for your help pegi cari ok? and for everything else uve done to help us..! :)

Btw, Farah.. if you nak beli anything from there, let me know.. u can use my membership 10% discount.. nanti i bagi my number ok?

 

Me paid and we off to Planet Enfante to cari for the other stuff... Sadly the bottles that yg BPA free takde, so I will look out for that someplace else.. even in Mothercare pun takde... aiiseey! geram gak la... in Mothercare nursing bra dia agak mahal gak la and its quite small for me.. so, I will have to go cari for it someplace else.. Adoi, tgk la Insyallah, we'll go to Babyjaya again to get the rest of the things pulak nanti... its cheaper there...

 

It was all rainy yesterday and we straight went to Putrajaya to my auntie's. Its was good to see them all there. Plus the kids, Khalis, Cik Da and Cik Ya! eheh.. Lisa was there as well, kurus dah anak sedara i tu! :P

 

I bought them Cheeze Choc from Secret Recipe and they all loved it! Ah goodie! Kak Nany's mee bandung was the bomb.. alot of  tauhu and ayam in there... yummy.. lepaked and just spending time with them.. ask la my auntie pasal menda nak beranak ni suma kan...

 

Oh, Mom and auntie Lina, will jahit the bengkung for me and baby... :) nice! coz kat luar tu ada jual, cuma kecik jer... so tak best.. nak yg custom made!

 

We took out the car seat to let Cik Da and Khalis try on it... they both love it! hehe.. so hopefully my lil boy will too! Its just nice coz Cik Da is 3years old and Khalis is 4... 4 years old is the maximum age for the seat.. but still looks ok... cuma tak baper nak pasang btul lagi.. berbaloi la rasanya! Alhamdulillah.

 

Mmg saya suka nyimpang... anyways thanks alot to my Mak ngah and family for having us and masak dinner...

 

Terus ke citibank to settle all my outstanding.. hehe.. its all cleared now! Woo hoo!! Alhamdulillah. Hope that everything go smoothly...

 

As we sampai the house, kita pun try la the car seat in his car... sbb kalau tak muat or takleh, we can send it back to them, at least a day after la.. sbb semalam was hujan and all kan? We tried the rear facing and also front facing for both seat passenger and sear belakang.. its all look ok but agak sempit skit la since we have a small car. Yg pasti, baby has to be in front.. coz, in safer and lagi kuat when he's infront.. pastu I can be at the back to jaga him.. if he's at the back, both of us pun takleh nak tgk dia... mana la tau kan.. kena perati la.. dun worry, coz, we have no air bags so its SAFE to put the baby in front.. Pastu, kalau dah ada seat cam tu.. sah2 la boleh 3 org jer in our car... dah tak muat dah lagi... hehe.. kitaorg pun imagine kalau balik Kampung Amin kat Segamat tu.. like we always do during Raya time... pun, selesa for all of us.. cuma nak letak stroller tak dpt la...  or barang2 besar ke kan... adoi, best btul berangan! hehe..

 

So, I will leave you here with the pics! eheh.. and tell me what you think ok?

Here's the Medela Swing Breast pump... :D nggee ngeeehh.. with BPA free summore! so cekai looking kan, padahal.. mahal woo! 

here's how the pump looks like... 

this is the view from where im seating.. or will be seating nanti... not bad eh?

kasi close up skit lagi.. :)

;) 

this is how it looks like.. :) and then the colour is also nice rite? Matches Amin's car! 

Ok then, I will have to continue with Work.... baru je makan ubat, skang nak tunggu Teh Bunga + Ais from Black yang gi tolong belikan.. susah gal nak jalan skang.. sakit2... :P

Thanks to Amin for these pics! 

shut it

Almost everynite, its the same...

I get to go to bed all upset or superly bengang of sumthing... 

Arghh... when will this end? 

I was on MC yesterday... had a pretty bad backache and the hips pun sakit and its killing me.. hehe.. ok la, not that bad, but still i walk a bit terjongket2... er, somehow, I read bout it tadi... its about time la i shud be sakit2 suma tu.. hmm.. and gosh I was sooooo soo tired... i hardly can sit for long.. I need a place to baring jer... what do u know, I'll reaching my 8th month prenancy this Thursday... Aii aii aii.. time flies huh? 

And as my tummy is still small for a 8th month preggy, ppl ASSUME that i am all energetic like how i used to, and even if i 'look' all that... tapi some ppl shud tau la, deep inside, how strong i want myself to be... I get tired easily and cungap2, hips dont lie ni sakit.. ok? So just dont dump me with all the workload and shittss...! 

ive also learned to keep my mouth shut... yea yea... i learned this from evaluating some stuff that I have gone thru in a few weeks..  talk means nuthing.. cos, nobody LISTENS..! all they think about is how bad life is to them.. and how great and most importantly is how much they'll gain in doing something... and be all calculative to wat they will loose for doing/not doing something for others... 

its a cruel, cruel world we are living out there...  - and someone even told me a few months after i got married- to not have kids and bring them into life that is so unfair and 'makin teruk' by day... which I can just whisper to myself, how @#$%#$^ can a person think that way kan? Child are our responsiblity.. as parents to teach and guide them to be a responsible person and hamba Allah.. taat pada ibu bapa, agama, Allah dan kepercayaan... and more! but, lets not go there, thats a different story.. not that I will listen to their advise lagi pun.. :P 

with work.. i dun mean to be all negative and shits.. but I kindda got fed up with unfairness.. got a lil tired and semangat that I used to have to wake up in the morning and wanted to be the very best I could.. its all gone.. i dun want to keep blaming the pregnancy hormones.. tapi, issit? Or mmg real that I am tired with what I do? 

Ive talked with a few ppl... bout it.. I guess, its not helping la.. coz, I guess, what I did was blah blah blah... complaining...! So here again, I learned to keep it to myself.. not worth it... somehow, ppl will get the wrong impression u know.. cam la org lain takde masalah... so baik je la diam eh? 

Anyhow, during Amin's bday.. we went to OU for dinner.. Amira came along..  Amin was still eating.. tapi kedai nak tutup dah.. :P I voluntered to go to the ATM and cucuk duit all by myself.. 

Other shops were closing too.. so there are a group of ppl, who works together... and ckp bye2 la sesama sendiri... and some just took their time to walk and a guy jalan sgt la cepat.. we both guna jln sama masa tu.. he was rushing.. im guessing nak kejar bas nak balik tu kan.. sgt la cpt dia jalan.. and made me rasa sgt syukur with the work im doing... and the lil life that I have.. 

Imagine, this guy.. of coz la ada shift kerja kan... kata la pun dia masuk keja at 12pm, and then starts working.. jual baju kan.. everyday almost the same... rite? the ppl that he works with lagi la takde cam the professional levels.. and alot more craps and talking nonsense- being malaysian la kan.. gossip jer ker.. and then ada boss yg sure bising to make sale...! they cant gayut during work time.. nak online lagi jauh kan? how many breaks dia ada? how many hours in the day dia dapat to duduk? kerenah customer yg macam2 and lebih lagi kurang ajar...? at 10pm, he has to rush to get into the bus untuk balik.. kalu tak, kena tunguu ntah baper lama lagi to get another bus... dah sampai umah, rumah pulak ntah camna keadaan...? tau tau jer nak tido... tak sempat apa dah.. and then esok pagi, mungkin menda yg sama lagi... end of the month... kadang2 gaji tak setimpal kerja and masa yg dia korbankan... berapa lama lagi dia nak kerja camni utk hidup dia lebih senang?

Aish... yes, Syukur dengan apa yg kita ada... ngan apa kita lakukan.. Alhamdulillah.. no matter how tired I get with work sometimes.. semuanya masih cukup... tak pernah pulak, tak makan seminggu, mahupun sehari... Alhamdulillah, dengan rezeki ini... 

I got a 9-5 job.. have a comfortable car to go and forth to work- theres no need to wait for a bus or depend on anyone to fetch me... house to office is less than half an hour drive.. i get to eat lunch everyday tho the price agak mencekik at times... officemates yg best suka2 gelak... boss who doesnt bising when i come in late or ask me to do more sales.. i get to use the fone and online as much as i can... im able to say anything to defend myself... gaji, alhamdulillah.. makin awal skang.. :P my own desk with my own PC..  freedom of semahyang kat dlm opis, freedom nak lunch baper lama.. freedom utk byk menda sebenarnya.. lets not think of the downside that much... its pretty good already.. :) 

Ive learned, again and again... to just keep quiet and count my blessings... 

but, of coz, as a human being.. I will keep my options open for something better.. look out for a better position and benefits for myself, family and the lil one...

ive almost sampai to my target on staying in the company for at least two years...  

so.. im keeping quiet bout everything thats going on with watever it is in the office.. defending anyone, or apa apa je la.. coz in the end... rasanya... i will be the one yg look bad.. i will be the one with the big mouth.. coz, yeah... word spreadss......... even your only intention is all good... tapi kalau dah berjalan jauh... mau jadi lain... kan? sebab kadang2, when we ckp ngan sorang tu jer, ingatkan hati... antara berdua jer la.. biler dah sampai pulak ke telinga org lain.. agak tension la gak rasanya... so, pasni mmg senyap je la... 

my only concern will be my own stuff... and of coz, I will always lend a hand, anytime! but to a certain limit..  ill go MUTE!

till someone listens... 

non work related, im tired of giving advises to ppl who ASKED for it.. but never listen.. and come back to me and tell me wat shud they do... oit, penat wey! you ask, i give, u do it again, and back to me listening and keep giving you the same advise... 

we are all old enough here... i cant be the one who has to be strong for you.. back u up... give ur ding dong brain a 'buzz' cam kat YM tu everytime you make the same mistake.. ive had it! deal with your own problem yourself... 

i used to pick up the fone and call me besties and crrryyyyyyyyy to them pasal apa apa je jadi... be it gaduh ngan bf ker.. apa apa jer.. at some point, I got the hint or terasa sendiri ke... 

org takkan nak dgr citer masalah ko yg sama tu je la... and it got me all strong and face everything on my own.. how it will turn up... its my decision... and after all its my life...

no, im not saying that they dont care, coz they do... i will call them up and ask for company... dont talk bout it... just go out and do our thing... crying over it to others, will not help... 

just that... i was in the 20s... kalau masih nak depend ngan org... and nangis atas bahu kawan selamanya... hmm.. biler nak kuat? 

pick up yourself... and fix the problem.. haf dignity in your own life.. haf some pride in choosing what best for you... not everyone will be able to BE THERE - FOREVER!

The Plan

Do I really need this two items? 

or shud i just skip em and go do the old traditional way? Lagi lambat nak siap of coz.. but it all with the same result.. :P 

Shud I or Shudnt I?

My plan for this month, afterrrr a lonnnggg longgg months of going around scouting for the best deal for baby stuff...yes penat ok, jalan tak satu barang sebesar semut pun tak beli.. heh...  kami akan pergi membeli the baby cot that we've been eyeing on.. hehe.. I will show ya the picture biler dah beli ok? Skang takleh sbb masih dlm planning lagi! huhu... as my gaji will only be out later than I expected... and he pulak wants to renew his roadtax, coz this month jer yang ada rebate tu kan... 

Sbb sikap yg tak sabar tu, I wanno go and buy it this Sunday! hehe.. Pls let it be a reality! hehe.. then, will gonna go straight send it to my mom's. Takde makna lagi dah nak pegi hantar balik dulu and hantar later.. ceshh.. lot of work..! kan? Mom agreed, so ok la tu... i hope boleh gak bukak and assemble that day! Weee!! heheh... 

I will also gonna get that Mothercare baby box next month.. So, I can just put all my baby baju age 0-6months and everything else the baby needs daily utk pakai, in there... dia ada handle segala, so I can just carry it around the house... and change him.. no need la almari ke apa for the time being..rite? I will also bring the rest of the baju in my white IKEA box just in case and all will letak at my parents place. Only a few baju, socks, cap, socks, swaddle napkin and blanket that I will put aside utk bawak ke hospital nanti..

All last week!

Last week has been quite bz I must say... tho writting bz kat situ, wat me thinking, busy watper sebenarnya kan?

Last Monday, Kak Nany and I got lunch invitation from our cousin Nana. Dia nak belanja makan. We had lunch kat Madam Kwan's.. it was great to catch up with my cousins... dah lama dah since wey gielr laamaaa laa since the 3 of us melepak and catch up with each other.. dulu2 jumpa kat ss2.. and we all pernah kerja bersama pun.. hehe.. all in all, we had fun! Thanks so much to Nana for belanjaing us, next will be mine ok? korang pulak drive ker Soho nanti ya? eheh..

with work, I finished up everything I could as soon as possible, learnt that well, the hard way not to delay2 stuff to the last minute... heh... well, at least it will make me occupied during work day... if not takde la bz mana sgt pun... and if i dun get busy with things, mula perasaan malas2.. ish, tak best..! so, secara bangganya, I have no pending work everytime I get back back home...

Hahahah... nuthing u say?

Its a big deal to me! hehe.. Suka lambat2 kan, merapu online segala dulu baru la nak wat kerja.. So Alhamdulillah. Im more relaxed now. Somehow. Ada yg boss bising2, cam pagi tadi.. hmm siap kan menda tu dulu, walau tak nampak pentingnya.. janji dia sonyap! 

Last Tuesday, I had my appraissal... how was it? I was superly nervous an hour before my turn... one thing because, when I was getting ready.. make up la, my MD likes us to lawa2.. hehe.. and then Ms HR came to my table and I asked her wat time I patut masuk.. she said, they might postpone the appraissal sbb boss dah bz and ada appointment later at 3pm. 

So, camna pun, dah pakai bedak, terasa rugi la pulak kan? So habis kan jer la make up sampai ke lipstick... hehe.. hmm sbb berkira sgt, last2 the bedak case patah! Uwa, nasib la bedak tu tak.. SO positive kan diri... buat jer renovation... So dah siap....

Back to the story, when I heard Ms HR kata tak jadi, I was relieved la.. happy jer... nak wat menda lain la plak... kan? 

Sekali she came back and told me

"Sha, 2pm eh turn ko"

Terus gugup segala hati, jantung and confident level down terus! Cesh! Dah tak tenteram.. ntah apa yg takutkan sgt.. I dunno, I mean I worked my ass off.. its proven to how much I can do... and my achievements to this date... Aceh, bukan poyo, but I tak patut nak nervous la kan... 

Then, I went to ask my department mate, who did his the day before...he kata no hal la.. no bigie and yada yada... a simple thingy and i shud not worry, as Im the one with more events.. haha.. tau takperrr.....

Then it was was 2pm, kuatkan diri and gosh I dunno why I was so nervous.. heeh.. and then, appraissal yg sgt relax.. it was just a chat with my MD.. nuthing much, just telling me his plans for us.. and there will definitely be an increment..! Woo Hoo! Saying and understands that I will be having a baby soon and my husband, just started working at a new place. How sweet of him. :) 

So goodie, everything else bout work, is under control. alot is going on, but, I cant reveal anything yet.. I got to sign an agreement with them that I will haf to keep everything P & C, for now... hehe... I hope that will turn out good, at least in my resume.. hihi.. 

Oh, did i tell you? I so so want to quit my job at some point in life and be a housewife where I can be with my kids 24/7... and give them everything they need tau. but, when I think bout it, I rasa takleh kot.. unless I can start a business from home thing.. but, as I fikir punya fikir.. nah, I cant. Lain la kalau i kawin ngan anak raja kan? Heh, financial will never be an issue ( i think!) tapi, my parents have worked hard all their lives to give me the best education they can for me (and my bro too!)... they sacrificed alot. They helped us go thru it, anyway they can.. i know they pernah susah, but kasi jer anything I needed for skool... sampai la ke Degree ni ha.. they didnt just leave us terbengkalai ngan masalah2 samapi tak dpt habiskan belajar kan. So, again, Im so thankful for their sacrifices. I will work hard, to repay in anyway possible utk my parents, my kids and my relatives who has helped me all my life. 

On the weekends pulak, On Saturday tu la, after work, we went to pick up amin's car at the bengkel and straight back home to send my semput car for him to rest.. hehe. sian dia.. and then pegi ke Party World utk beli presents and balloons for Amin's uncle.. aritu, nak visit dia, he's not feeling too good. We had a good time looking for the best balloon decoration we could find. Tho, I dun realy know his uncle that well, but I must say that wish that he will get well soon. Cam rasa sayang la kan.. and I know how it feels like.. I had my late grand dad who suffered with it gak dulu, I cant bear to be with him in the room and see him in pain. Everytime I was with him, mmg cekal kan hati gak la, so I will be there with him in his last days.. So, this time, I truly hope that Bapak will recover soon. Insyallah. 

On the good news part pulak, my childhood fren, Ekki, gave birth to a heatlhy baby girl on Friday. Her name is Qisya Maia Cinta. Another fren to my lil kid kan? hehe.. Congratulations to her, hubby and the rest of the family. 

On that same day, 20-02-09, is the 7th year that my late Nenek passed away. I still remember, in the car I told my parents that 20-02-2002 is a very nice date, and said "hari apa la tu nanti kan?" well, it was actually one of the saddest day in my life.. the whole family gak la. We didnt expect, but Im so happy that my grandma's wish came true. That is to meninggal kat Mekah. I can still clearly remember, how happy she was biler dia tau that she dpt pegi Mekah time tu. and how happy she was masa the last gathering with her. I miss her. I miss her Kurma Ayam, she's the only person yg masak the best Kurma.. no one can ever lawan! hehe.. I miss her laughter, and I also miss the way she tried her very best to start a conversation with me. hehe.. me no talkative type even with my own grandma.. hehe.. mcm2 soalan dia tanya... and also the day she diri depan grill umah dia, and tgk i amik gambar in her garden for my photography project. oh, also the times when i drove and brought her to the hospital... how can i ever forget... Al-fatihah. 

Sunday pulak, we woke up as early as 8am(ok ok tu Amin, I was so penat I woke up at 9am), terus bangun and kemas umah... hehe.. mmg giler kaw kaw.. Amira helped to cook her lasagne.. and then at 4pm, Auntie Anin, Jess and Kak Juju came to our place. Wah, first time la makcik yg dtg umah.. heheh.. we had fun, tgk tv and borak2 and waited for my parents.. dorang pulak at 7pm.. just few minutes at my place and then terus ke Jom Santai.. dinner di sana pulak... I had alot of fun! Sian jer dorang, Auntie Anin sakit tekak, batuk2 and all.. Jessie pulak gastric.. sian.. 

Byk gak menda jadi kan? hehe.. oh citer i jer yg meleret? Hehe.. Bye!
