Alhamdulillah..

Alhamdulillah. cik abang dah discharged 2 hari lepas. doktor cakap it may took 2 to 4 weeks for him to fully recover. so, sepanjang cik abang rest kat rumah, aku kena tumpang SIL la gi kerja. seb baik tempat kerja dia area situ gak. anak2 terpaksala hantar rumah mak aku sat, tolong jaga. semalam call cikgu nursery diorang inform diorang cuti sat sebab ayah sakit. cikgu cakap, sunyila Irfan takde. diorang pun dah rindu kat Irfan:)

time dekat hospital, chit chat dengan cik abang. dia cakap, dokter cakap appendix yang kena buang tu, dah bengkak. Alhamdulillah la cepat buat operation. ada kes yang boleh bawa maut, bila appendix tu pecah, which was happenned to bapa saudara aku past few years. actually, reason dia bengkak tu, macam dalam kes cik abang nih, lebih kepada pemakanan. sebab, dokter cakap, kat situ boleh nampak banyak biji2 cili. so benda tu tersumbat kat situ, sebab tak boleh hadam. actually dah lama, tapi dah makin banyak kut....

aku dengar tu pun terkejut.bahaya betul. kena jaga2 la bila makan sambal ni, kadang2 tu sambal nasi lemak pun kita boleh nampak biji2 cili yang tak hancur tu...
pemakanan ni kena jaga sesangat. benda tu nampak simple saja. tapi effect dia...hmmm...

Berkampung di hospital lagi...

sekali lagi aku kena berkampung kat hospital and this time, kena jaga cik abang pulak. hari ni hari kedua cik abang kat hospital. dan hari ni jugak hari kedua aku kat hospital. inilah masanya aku nak membalas budi cik abang bersusah payah menjaga aku kat hospital time aku bersalin dulu:) 2 kali pulak tu....

sungguh tak sangka cik abang kena Appendicitis . it was too sudden. pagi semalam, kitorang macam biasala, hantar anak2 g nursery then pegi kerja sama2. cik abang pun ok jer time tu. then tiba-tiba dalam pukul 12 macam tu, cik abang call aku. cakap dia baru balik clinic, sebab perut dia sakit. dokter tu suspect kena then Appendicitis. dokter suruh refer specialist. cik abang pun dah on the way nak g hospital time tu. cik abang pesan suruh call mak datang amik aku and anak2.
macam nak luruh jantung aku time tuh. risau yang amat. aku hanya mampu berdoa je time tu.

sampai je kat hospital, cik abang call lagi. cakap tgh tunggu kat emergency wad, tunggu dokter check. ya Allah, time tu aku rasa nak terbang je pi kat cik abang. i really want to be with him saat2 macam tu. aku dah tak boleh concentrate kat keja pun time tuh. dalam pukul 2 macam tu, cik abang call cakap confirm. appendix dia dah bengkak. kena operate pukul 4. time tu, apa lagi berderau keluar air mata aku. macam2 perasaan la timbul. dahla aku takde kat situ....

dalam 3.30 tu cik abang call. diorang dah nak bius time tu. seriously aku rasa nak terbang g situ time tu. sepanjang operation tu, aku hanya mampu berdoa dari jauh, mudah-mudahan semua selamat. dalam pukul 5.30, MIL call aku. Alhamdulillah, semua berjalan lancar. MIL cakap, keluar jer dari operation theather tu, cik abang tanya 'Mana Hajar?'......:(

dipendekkan cerita, aku dan anak2 sampai hospital dalam pukul 7 macam tu (i hate traffic jamn!)...Qistina and Irfan pun ok jer time tu. Qistina dah faham dah, ayah dia sakit. Irfan, lari sana sini. suka betul dia main:)

tak sabar nak g jumpa cik abang esok. dokter cakap, if takde apa2 esok dah boleh discharge dah...

Kenduri kawen my gojes sis...

lama giler aku tak update blog kesayangan aku nih. bukannya takde citer. banyak giler citer. tapi masa yang takde. selalunya aku update blog malam lepas anak2 tido. tapi sekarang ni, bila anak2 tido, dengan aku sekali tertido.

Irfan tgh memanjat mama. biasala tu, nak ambik handphone mama la tu...

Lihat perutku....

okeyyy... this is not me:) tapi aku dah beli nih... yeyyyy!!!!

setelah surf sana sini, so aku nekad nak beli SPANX In-Power Line Super Higher Power. since this is US product and takde jual kat mana2 kedai, susah sikitla nak dapat benda nih. ada a few blog yang aku jumpa jual, tapi most of them kena pre-order. oh tidak. aku macam biasala, bila dah nak something tu, mesti tergedik2 la nak cepat. nasib baik jumpa satu blog nih, owner dia cakap ada stock kat dia. terus aku order.

hari ni order, esok terus parcel sampai. cayalah!

so, hari ni aku dah try pakai gi opis. mak suka okeyyy!! rasa berkeyakinan gituh. perut tak gelebeh langsung. flat jer.macam anak dara gitu. hehehe....
and sangat selesa. tak rasa panas or geli ke apa ke. aku tak boleh compare dengan mana2 corset, sebab aku tak pernah pakai. ni la first time beli.
lagi satu yang bestnya bila pakai ni, tak rasa nak makan banyak. tak taula kenapa, maybe physcology kut. hehehe

so guys, i fully recommend this to any of u yang teringin nak flat tummy macam aku:)

Al Fatihah...

Al Fatihah to my dearest friend, Taufiq Shariff, who have just passed away a few hours ago. he was supposed to go for surgery today. this is too sudden. i'm speechless. i regret it so much that i have no chance to meet him even in hospital, eversince we've graduated a few years ago..

semoga rohnya ditempatkan di kalangan orang beriman. Amin.
he will truly be missed....

berita sedih...

actually, i'm still in shock.

just came to know that one of my junior time study dulu, Taufiq Shariff , ada brain cancer. he will be operated tomorrow. According to the doctors, he has a 60% chance. Otherwise, he will only have a few weeks left. hmmm... aku sangat sedih sekarang sampai tak tau nak tulis apa.

dia admitted kat kl sekarang. sangat terkilan aku tak dapat visit dia. we are quite close. bilik dia bawah bilik aku jer dulu. he's a very nice person indeed. suka buat jokes. i can talk almost everything with him. and also he's a very talented photographer!

aku doakan semua berjalan lancar esok dan dia akan cepat sembuh. if u r happened to read this, please pray for him...

Review : Everyday Minerals

korang pernah dengar tak product nih, Everyday Minerals? ada satu time tu, lebih kurang 5 tahun lepas kut, mineral powder nih sangat top. ada a few brand la yang top, like Bare Escentuals, Jan Marini , hmm.. macam2 la. aku pun dah lupa. tapi yang aku tak boleh lupa, Everyday Minerals la. sebab aku memaaaaaang suka gilerla product nih.

muka aku ni jenis memang senang giler naik jerawat. sensitip la kunun. if pakai foundation, memang sah2 la keluar segala mak nenek jerawat. tapi biasala, teringin gak nak pakai something kat muka bagi nampak berseri gitu. so surf punya surf terjumpa la pasal Everyday Minerals nih. baca review macam best. product ni from US. tapi harga tak mahal sangat. so aku pun try la order. yang bestnya, kat sini kita boleh mintak sample kit. tak silap aku, first time aku order tu, aku just order satu mineral powder and brush plus of course the sample kit.

memang excited giler la bila dapat. kekok jugakla nak pakai. kesan dia, wallaaa:) takla transform aku jadi cantik macam siti nurhaliza, tapi adala nampak berseri sikit. hehe. yang bestnya, dia ringan jer. tak rasa macam mekap and tak clog pores. pakai sikit2 jer, nak habis satu jar tu pun adala setahun kut. save duit mak:)

habis jer, terus aku order lagi. kali ni aku order 2 jars terus, nak save shipping cost punya pasal plus of course the sample kit. pastu, aku dapat 2 jar blusher free. best giler!! actually, sampai sekarang tak habis2 aku pakai. blusher tu lagila. macam tak luak pun. sebab aku bukannya selalu mekap pun.

actually dah lama giler aku tak masuk website Everyday Minerals nih. sebabbbb, aku rasa nak try lain pulak la. dah boring lak rasanya. hehehe.. sekarang kan tgh top bb cream yang artis2 korea pakai tu. teringin gak nak try. tapi aku still tgh baca review lagi. nak try takut gak, kang habis naik jerawat, habisla. jenuh aku nak cari product bagi hilang jerawat pulak.

tgh usha BB Cream Skin79. baca review macam best. hmmm....

A boy and a girl

A girl story

sekarang ni, Qistina suuuka sangat pergi school. every morning, bila mama and ayah hantar, rilek je turun keta and jalan sendiri masuk nursery. kalau dulu cakap, 'Mama dukung'. sekarang ni, 'Kakak nak walk'. that's my girl:) clever anak mama nih.

masuk je dalam nursery, siap ada member tunggu lagi. hehehe. cute betul.

teringat dulu time mula2 hantar Qistina pegi nursery. sangat mencabar, coz Qistina tak biasa dengan orang luar, ramai2. tapi sekarang Alhamdulillah. i really can see a lot of changes in her. she's more confident now, and dah pandai mix around.

nursery tu pulak baru beli slide besar. apa lagi, lagi suka la dia. tak sabar nak pegi dah tu esok:)

A boy story

Irfan sekarang ni dah start meneroka satu rumah. memanjat apa yang ada. saat2 ni, memang mama banyak betul la exercise. sesuai sangat la tuh. hehehe..

bila tgk orang dalam tv tepuk tangan, dia pun bukan main join sekaki. bila mama nyanyi, 'If u happy and u know it clap ur hand' dia mesti suka. pastu, tepuk2 tangan sambil goyang2 badan. tau pulak tu bila time nak tepuk tangan. cute sangat! clever boy nih:)

Irfan pun ok kat nursery. sebab everytime mama and ayah hantar, Irfan tak nangis. time balik mama ambik pun, Irfan ok. cikgu pun cakap Irfan ok. cikgu cakap Irfan makan banyak. that explains kemontelan Irfan. hehehe.. Alhamdulillah.

mama luv so much both of u!

mama gemuk!

Qis : mama gemuk! (sambil pegang perut mama)

mama : Really?

Qis : Really!

OMG. that was scary. aku tau aku gemuk sekarang. but to hear it from my little daughter, sangat scary okey. orang cakap, budak2 cakap betul. itu belum cik abang yang comment. if cik abang yang cakap, mau malam ni jugak aku sit up seratus kali.

mana tak gemuk, last week, the whole week aku ada workshop. bila workshop ni, biasala, makan duduk makan duduk. dari pagi sampai petang. dahla makanan best2. haihh..nafsu2. actually, orang memang cakap aku kurus. yela, berat aku pun tak sampai 50 kg. tapi part perut tuh, menggelebeh semacam. ye la, perut beranak dua. musnah segala usaha aku time pantang dulu berbarut bagai.

next week workshop lagi. kat Eastin Hotel pulak tu. oh tidak!

i definitely must do something..say no to this flabby belly. BENCI!

bestnya dapat perut flat macam ni. nak ni nak ni:) confirm aku angkat satu!

Irfan had his 1st Pneumococcal jab!

finally, aku and cik abang decided to give Irfan the Pneumococcal vaccine. Actually, our paed dah recommended this last time, but at that time we thought that it is not necessary. lagipun, mahal vaccine tu kan (seriessss mahal) gile kedekut.hehehe

tapi, lepas case Irfan admitted hari tu, terus tak pk panjang, we have to go for it. banyak sangat virus sekarang ni, macam2. so to give our dear babies a better protection, last Saturday, we went to the hospital for Irfan first Pneumococcal jab. according to paed, for babies below 1 year, they need to take 3 jabs with the interval of 2 months. so, another 2 jabs left for Irfan. for babies aged 1 to 2 years, they need to take 2 jabs and for kids above 2, they only need 1 jab or maybe 2. we are planning to give this to Qistina as well.....

mama tak sempat nak snap photo time Irfan kena inject tu. Irfan tak menangis pun, just menjerit je time kena inject tu, pastu ok dah. hero kan..hehehe

dah ready nak keluar, sambil tunggu ayah buang sampah, macam biasa, kita possing dulu!

mana ayah nih, possing lagi la....

Irfan tengah tunggu dalam bilik dokter..gelak besar dia:)

Irfan loves camera! maaaacam mama jugak yerrr...

sayangnya tak sempat nak snap gambar time Irfan kena cucuk. hopefully, dapatla snap yang 2nd one nanti.

note : mama riiiinnnnduuu sangat kat Qistina. sekarang ni Qistina still kat kampung dengan mak tok. mama terpaksa tinggal Qistina dekat mak tok kejap, sebab baru discharge kan. next week, mama akan ambik Qis balik. Irfan and ayah pun mesti rindu kat Qistina jugak kan.....

Dugaan Raya 2010...

i hope it's still not too late to wish all of u, my dear friends (yes, u are my friends walaupun kita tak pernah jumpa:) Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf Zahir Batin. takpe kan, raya kan sebulan:)

so, how was ur raya celebration? i hope and i believe it was great. sure korang having wonderful time with all your family members, jalan2 rumah sedara and kawan2, makan2.

aku pulak, raya kat hospital. hmmm... actually, it's a long story but to cut it short, my dear little girl was admitted a few days before raya. Qistina cirit birit until she was dehydrated. she refused to eat and drink milk. sangat kesian anak mama. she looks really tired. it was the first time dia jadi macam tu. normally, if Qis sakit pun, she still active and still can eat and drink milk.

after 3 days warded, Alhamdulillah Qis back to normal. she started to become active as usual, can sing her favourite song Selamat Hari Raya and Balik Kampung song...oh dear, i was soooo happy and grateful to see my dear Qis is back! and she started to drink and eat as usual. so malam raya tu, doctor bagi balik rumah, home rest, but then have to come again on the next day to take the antibiotic.

esoknya, which is on Hari Raya, pagi2 mama and ayah bawa Qis g hospital, to take the antibiotic. punyala lama nak drip antibiotic tu, habis dalam pukul 5 macam tu. so, memang satu hari raya tu, kat hospital la kami anak beranak. kesian Qis, tak boleh beraya. and guess what, the antibiotic has to be taken for 1 week. so, sampai raya keempat, macam tu la routine kami.

actually, if u asked me, honestly i did really have a great time! walaupun terpaksa raya kat hospital. sebab, i've spent the whole day with my little Qis. Qis also was very happy. we had fun together, sing raya song, makan ketupat sama2, kira duit raya (sesape yang datang melawat tu, mestila bagi duit raya kan, hehehe) and snap our own photos, of course:)

our raya photos are a bit special la, no family photos, just a random photos taken at hospital:) gambar dengan Irfan pun aku takde. sebab Irfan stay kat rumah mak tok, tak elok kan bawa baby gi hospital. mak tok pulak bawa Irfan g beraya. hahhh, yang ni sedih. huhuhu...

Calling Nanny 911!

I was searching for a channel to watch just now and found Nanny 911 at NTV 7. Oh my! I've read about how good this show is somewhere and somehow forgot about it. thank God I've accidently found that show on air. after finish watching it, i must say that the show is great. too bad i've missed the show in the past. i think i'll look for this in youtube later.

so, tonight the show was about George family. the Nanny was sent to this family in order to guide the mummy to be independent in taking care her 3 kids. i think the mummy is sooooo lucky to have husband like George who is willing to quit her job for taking care their kids. and the mummy goes to work. hmmm... ada jugak laki macam ni. but, that's not for the whole life la. dah agak dah:) now, it's mummy turn to quit the job and take care for the kids. that's why the Nanny came for rescue since the mummy is really lack of experience and ........ not to say bad mummy, but the father is much much more better. hehehe..

i've learnt a few things that i think can be applied too when dealing with Qistina. Here's i list some of them:

1. U may create a simple Family Rules for your kids!

2. Remember this entry? I've planned to craete a simple reward system when the times come for Qis and Irfan, and the Nanny had showed me the way! It looks fun and indirectly teach your kids on bad and good behaviour.

3. Avoid to umpan your kids with unhealthy food and drink (ice cream, donuts, chocholates, soda, etc..) when u want to keep them calm. memangla berkesan. but it's only for short term. there are a lot of better ways...

4. Don't ever let ur kids run the show. We as a parent must definitely in control. if not, nanti anak tak respect kat kita pulak kan.

i hope i will not miss the next show next week. i guess it will be on the same day and same time...Friday at 8.30 pm

Irfan started formula...

hmm... actually sedih jugak. tapi nak buat macam mana, susu drop sangat, so i have to start giving Irfan formula. i guess sebab puasa kut.

apa pun, aku tetap bersyukur sebab boleh fully breastfeed Irfan sampai 9 bulan lebih! it's really not an easy job and it needs a lot of sacrifice. i believe working mommies yang ada experience nih would agree with me. mana dengan bz kerja, terpaksa curi masa pam susu, cut short break time nak pam susu, bangun tengah malam pam susu, carik tempat strategic nak pam susu kat office (sampaikan meeting room pun jadik mangsa.hehehe)...hmmm. macam2 lagila. sounds tiring kan. but i'm happy buat semua tu! pelik kan:)

nila formula yang aku start bagi kat Irfan...

Qistina dulu memang minum Bebelac (as it was recommemded by our paed). dulu kitorang selalu beli banyak2 buat stock. sampaikan bila Qis dah 1 year, still got balance 2 tin. konon2 nak jual la, ntah camna ntah boleh lupa. since tak expire lagi, so, bolehla bagi kat Irfan. so far, Irfan ok dengan susu nih. so we will stick to this je la. hopefully, lepas puasa ni, susu mama back to normal......

Announcement! Tukar display name..

i've changed my display name! from mamaqis to cik jatt. mamaqis dah tak sesuaila. i've started used that name when i was having Qis only, but now dah ada Irfan pulak.
thought that maybe one day Irfan is reading my blog then for sure he gonna asked me 'mama, why u r using mamaqis. what about me mama.' hehehe.... not fair kan..

so, after giving some thoughts on what's the name should i use here, i've decided to use cik jatt.
guna nama sendiri je. my family and most of my friends used to call me jatt. purposely tambah cik tu. it sound nice (at least for me la:)

so, macam mana dengan korang. ade history tak camne korang dapat display name?

Qistina's Little House....

recently Qistina suuukkkaaaa sangat main dengan blanket or apa2 kain yang panjang. if dia nampak je kain, sesape je (selalunya mama la kan, Irfan pun join sekaki) akan diajaknya masuk bawah kain tu. mama layankan jer:) this activity is like a routine already for us everynight. takpela sayang, as long as u r happy. Irfan pun bukan main suka mama tengok.

see their happy faces:)

sukanya Qistina. Irfan kenapa pulak tu. boring dah ker:)

actually last time, ayah ada belikan Qistina a small tent for her birthday's present. mula2 dulu excited la mama tgk. sampaikan nak tidur kat dalam tu. but since Qistina got a new 'tent' which she has created on her own ni, macam dah dianaktirikan jer tent tu:)

we called this 'Qistina Little House'. ok ok....background semak sikitla. abaikan yer:)

4 simple ways to extend your notebook's life....

Korang sayang tak laptop korang. mau tak sayang kan. beli mahal2...

ok, aku baru je dapat mail ni kat opis. very good infos, so i think why not i share this with u ols kan.

Most notebook users only think about what their notebooks can do for them, not about what they can do for their notebooks. But if you treat it as you would your pet dog – don’t “overfeed” it but don’t let it go hungry between feedings, don’t leave it in a hot car, keep it clean, and be gentle with it – it will love you back for years to come.

1. Take care of your battery

Your notebook battery capacity will decrease with time, wear and tear, but there are things you can do to maximise its lifespan. For example, it is best to recharge batteries when they get to 10–20 percent charge, as regularly letting the battery fully discharge to 0 percent is not good for it. While short discharges and recharges won’t actually damage a battery, they can decrease the accuracy of the battery gauge; this can be remedied by doing a deliberate full discharge every 30 charges. When you’re not using the battery for a prolonged time, you can preserve its life by removing it at 40 percent charge and storing it in a cool, dry place. The worst thing you can do is leave a fully charged battery at high heat – which leads us to our next point …

oh tidakkk!!! aku sentiasa keep my laptop fully charged. in other words, power supply tu sentiasa on...

2. Avoid excessive heat

Notebooks generate a lot of heat. When they get too hot, they shut themselves down or cause damage to your notebook battery, hardware or electronic components. Because notebook operations are responsible for creating internal heat, you can avoid problems by changing settings and reducing processor speeds and screen brightness. You can also install freeware utilities that monitor the temperature of your notebook and automatically speed up the fan or decrease power usage. Turn off your computer before putting it in a notebook case or any confined space where heat can build up. And remember to avoid high-heat environments, like a hot car. Another way to ensure your notebook doesn’t overheat is to ...

this happenned once to me, when i left my laptop charging overnight!

3. Let air vents breathe

Overheating can quickly result if your notebook’s air vents are blocked. So don’t put it on a soft surface like a bed, where the blankets and pillows can squash up against the air vents, preventing air from circulating. Even on hard surfaces, some notebooks can have a hard time “breathing”. If this is the case with your notebook and you see that it is getting too hot, you can elevate the back of the computer by propping it up using household objects or getting a laptop stand that allows air to flow freely. Notebook coolers or “chill pads” work similarly but include external fans. Another way that air vents and ports can get blocked is with dust. Use a can of compressed air to clear them. Speaking of cleaning …

4. Be careful with LCD screens, the most expensive part of the notebook

When cleaning your screen, be very careful. Minerals in tap water can leave spots, so only use distilled water, and don’t use any solvents or alcohol, like household glass cleaner, or paper towels, which contain wood fibre and cause scratches. Best of all is to use a lint-free dry microfibre cloth to gently remove dust from your screen. In general, avoid touching the screen, as it can leave fingerprints and cause permanent marks if too much pressure is applied. Fractures in the LCD display, though you might not be able to see them, create lines, patterns, spots or bleeding around the edges of the screen, which may only get worse.

oh tidakkk!!! i knew it! that's why aku sangat rasa ngeri bila Qistina dok tekan2 the screen. adehhh..

By following these steps, reading and heeding the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings, and paying attention to your notebook, you can help ensure it has a long and happy life.

Note : Sayangilah laptop anda before it's too late ok. If not, be prepared to become 'kopak'....

Budak baru belajar blogging punya cerita...

korang perasan tak background blog aku dah lain (rasanya takde orang perasan pun..hahaha). aku tak plan pun nak tukar. actually citenya macam nih.....

aku tadi nak letak 'Recent Comment' kat sidebar tu. then try itu ini, last2 jadila. giler senang actually, tapi aku ni yang buat benda tu jadi susah. then suddenly aku realized, background aku hilang! aisehh... mesti aku terdelete. ni yang leceh ni, satu keja pulak nak gi carik background tu balik.

okla, gi carik jugakla. takkan aku nak just let my blog 'naked' gitu. carik punya carik, jumpa la balik background yang agak gojess tu. okla i thought dah settle dah. then, bila aku apply background tu, tiba2 sidebar aku pulak hilang semua bila aku view balik. adehhhh....gelabah gilela. abihla blog aku. macam mana nak wat nih. nak hantar e-mail kat google ke tanya. nak tanya sape nih. hahhaha...nampak sangat aku jahil bab2 blog nih.

then aku try lak background lain. kut2 la background tu yang problem. adala 2, 3 background aku try. then rearrange widget kat sidebar tu sikit2. tiba2 ada balik sidebar tu. magic la pulak. ntahla... aku pun tak tau apa aku buat.

so, aku biar je la background ni as it is. sweet gak kan. eh, korang paham ke tak cite aku ni eh. hahaha..

-CONTEST : I LOVE PINK-

bloghopping sana sini, then aku terjumpa blog ni. cute macam owner dia jugak:) she's organizing a contest on PINK! i like! sangat best okeh.

aku ni memang giler kaler pink nih. dari zaman muda remaja dulu sampaila zaman yang dah tak berapa remaja lagi dah nih:)

nak2 pulak my first baby is a girl. habis semua aku beli kaler pink (which is dah tak boleh recycle untuk my second baby nih, agak membazir jugakla). giler obses. hehehe..

here's my pic for the contest. actually this is the first time aku join contest. saje jerr... looks interesting....

i'm wearing pink, my lttle Qis is wearing pink and the flower also pink. okla tu ehh:)

clsing date is on the 9th September. jom join!

Entry shopping sebelum puasa..

weekend sebelum start puasa hari tu, sempatla jugak aku ngan cik abang keluar shopping baju raya untuk si kecik Qistina and Irfan. since ada sale kat Jusco, so baik la beli siap2. lagipun, time bulan puasa ni, dah sah2la malas nak keluar melainkan terpaksa.

sempat lagi tuh mama menggedik sebelum keluar...hehehe

ramai gile orang kat Jusco. i guess semua orang sibuk membeli baju raya untuk anak2 kut. actually aku ni sangat choosy bab2 membeli baju nih. baju kat anak2 pun aku pilih beriya iya. sabar je la cik abang yer. pilih punya pilih, last2 angkutla a dress and a blouse for Qis. for Irfan, aku beli short pants yang saaangat cute and a shirt. hahhhh.. itu je. after almost an hour membelek2. okeyyyyy... like i said, i'm a bit choosy:)

then jalan2 carik kasut pulak. and this time for mama pulak yer anak2. lama giler rasanya aku tak beli kasut. pusing punya pusing, masuk kedai tu masuk kedai ni, semua tak sangkut. kenapa la takde kasut yang ikut citarasa aku nih. aku pun tak tau nak kasut yang macam mana, tapi yang penting, aku mesti tangkap cintan kat kasut tu at the first sight. but not high heels of course. wedges maybe. hmmm...

then suddenly, i saw this at Vincci....

OMG! Iwant that! I want that! okla. korang nak gelak gelak la. tapi aku rasa kasut ni cute and fashionable. i loooveeeee it....

cik abang cakap tak cantik. although i've asked him i think almost 10 times. singh:) he said tak sesuai with my age. ye ker? tapi cute la. dah angkat pun satu. hehe

kasut2 anak2 tak beli lagi nih. alamat bulan puasa nih, kena la shoping lagi. baju raya aku pun tak beli lagi nih.....

Breastfeeding during Ramadhan...

Alhamdulillah.. hari pertama berpuasa dah selesai. risau jugak aku takut tak tahan sebab nak kena pam susu lagi kan. actually, dalam kul 12 tu, perut aku dah keluar segala bunyi dah, tapi takdela sampai rasa nak tumbang ke apa. so aku rasa ok lagi kut.

hasil perahan pulak, Alhamdulillah still maintain macam biasa. normally, aku boleh dapat total 12-13 oz for 3 times pumping at work. and today aku dapat 12.5 oz! syukur sangat2. first pumping dapat 5.5 oz, second session 3.5 oz and the third session pun 3.5 oz. bolehla tu kan kan.

pemakanan aku takla the bomb sangat. aku bangun sahur dalam pukul 5 macam tu.
menu as following yerr..

oat+milo+corflakes
kurma
plain water (minum sampai buncit..serious buncit okehh)
vitamin c (just started taking this vit due to Irfan's flu)
habbatus sauda

tu jerr... so, sahur hari ni, confirm tu jugak menu aku:) hopefully susu aku boleh maintain macam ni sepanjang Ramadhan, juga aku diberi kekuatan oleh-Nya untuk menjalani ibadah puasa.....

by the way, di kesempatan ni, aku nak ucapkan selamat menyambut Ramadhan kat korang semua! semoga kita semua dianugerahkan kekuatan menjalani ibadah puasa dan melipat kali gandakan amal ibadah. minta maaf la kalau ada apa2 tersalah tulis or terguris hati ok!

Finally...

Irfan was sooo happy bila dah boleh discharge. bila orang acah pun, he can smiles and loughs as usual. Alhamdulillah. so, kelmarin aku g kerja macam biasa, sebab my mum still ada kat rumah. boleh tolong jaga Irfan sat.

next week kena bawa Irfan g hosptal, follow up. hopefully everything will be ok.

yang memeningkan aku sekarang ni, next week nak kena hantar Irfan balik ke nursery. ye la, kat nursery tu, tau2 jela, if ada yang sakit, cepat je berjangkit. aku sekarang ni, if possible tak nak Irfan kena selsema balik. sangat nightmare. paed pun dah pesan. if Irfan selsema, kena cepat2 bagi ubat. tapi tula, ubat selsema ni is not so recomended for baby. hanya Allah saja yang tau betapa risaunya aku. i have no choice. mudah-mudahan Allah melindungi anak-anak aku. kalau ikutkan hati aku, nak je hantar balik kampung minta mak jaga sat. but then, aku still breastfeeding. stock susu pun ada berapa botol je. Irfan tak nak susu formula.

time2 cenggini, rasa jeoulous pulak bila tengok mummys out there whose not working or work from home. bilala aku nak jadi macam diorang....

5th day...

Alhamdulillah. tadi dah jumpa pakar telinga. telinga Irfan takde problem. risau jugak kelmarin bila paed suruh refer to pakar telinga.

time dokter tu check telinga Irfan, as always Irfan rilek jer. rasa syok kut. hehe. good boy:)

so, esok boleh discharge. Yeyyyyy!!! Alhamdulillah. aku pun dah tak sanggup duduk sini. dahla ada budak2 confirm H1N1 kat level ni. adehhh.. risau gila nih. ya Allah, selamatkanla kami anak beranak. Amin

tak sabarnya nak balik rumah esok. Irfan pun dah boring duduk dalam ni. serba tak kena dia.

lepas ni, if Irfan kena selsema je, kena cepat2 bagi ubat. if berlarutan takut berulang lak jangkitan kat telinga dia. ya Allah, mintak2 dijauhkan la...

3rd day...

hari ni hari ketiga aku berkampung kat sini.

perkembangan Irfan..Alhamdulillah. telinga dah takde nanah dah (nanah ker??)
tapi hidung still tersumbat..
so, doktor suruh nurse bagi ubat titik hidung pulak.

doktor cakap bukan infection actually. yang kuar kat telinga tu actually dari hidung. sebab selsema terlalu banyak. so, dia terus kuar ikut hidung. ya Allah. kesian anak mama.

mudah-mudahan semua selamat. paed cakap kena stay sini 5 days, complete antibiotic. 5 hari pun 5 harila doktor, janji my baby cepat sembuh....

2nd day...

hari ni hari kedua Irfan kat hospital. telinga Irfan ada lagi nanah. selsema pun ada jugak. Alhamdulillah la tak demam.

semoga aku dikuatkan semangat dan diberi kesihatan yang sempurna oleh-Nya untuk jaga Irfan. Irfan, cepat sembuh ok sayang. Amin

What is your G!

korang dah try GCB from Mc'D? aku dah try. baru je sekali.

korang rasa sedap tak? ada orang cakap sedap, ada orang cakap tak sedap. tapi iklan dia aku sukala. creatif idea tu. memang comersial.
so what is your G?
aku rasa saaaaangat sedap:)
cik abang pun cakap sedap.'Gila Cholestrol Burger'. tu sebab sedap. hehehehe

apasal tetiba aku buat entry nih. saje je. duduk sorang2 kat hospital ni, tetiba terbayang macam2 makanan pulak. nafsu2..manala perut tak makin buncit. hehe...

sangat terliur. hehehe...

Irfan admitted...

actually, today we are supposed to have fun at Sedim waterfall, main2 air, enjoy2 dengan family. tapi terpaksa cancel plan sebab Irfan admitted.

aku memang dah rasa tak sedap hati semenjak dua menjak nih. itula instinct ibu2 ni kan. insyaAllah betul. since dua malam lepas, Irfan meragam sikit time malam. selalu Irfan tak macam tu. he's such a good boy and tak banyak kerenah. tidur pun nyenyak je. i thought it was due to his blocked nose, so susah sikit dia nak tido.

tapi pagi ni, i was really schocked. tiba2 ada nampak macam nanah kat telinga Irfan. ya Allah. hanya Allah saja la yang tau betapa terkejut dan panic nya aku. tapi, ibu2 ni walau apa pun, tak boleh panic. kena tenang. so, i've tried to stay calm.

cancel plan g picnic, terus cepat2 kitorang bawa g jumpa paed. time checked up tu, aku sangat control and tak mampu tanya banyak benda. sebab takut berderai air mata depan paed. walaupun dah bergenang dah time tu. paed said, kena infection. and agak bahaya. kena admit. admit pun admit la, janji Irfan ok.

so, ni aku tgh blogging kat hospital. Irfan tgh tido kat sebelah. dengan tangan berbalut kena cucuk untuk antibiotic drip:(

my dear Irfan, cepat sembuh ye. mama really miss your lough and smile. mudah-mudahan anak mama kembali sihat dan ceria.Amin

Oh Noooo!

that's Qistina's favourite words recently. cute betul.

sikit2 'Oh No!'
especially ada benda jatuh, mesti 'Oh No!'. siap dengan dua2 tangan tangan letak kat pipi.
can u imagine that. lawak betul anak mama nih.

aku rasa ni pengaruh tv nih. tak taula mickey mouse ke, elmo ke, little einstein ke. tu semua favourite tuh. kadang terbangun pukul 2 pagi pun... 'mama, watch cartoon'.
takpe2. pengaruh tv yang baik2 takpe. sebab tula pentingnya kita filter apa yang anak kita tgk kat tv. budak2 ni cepat tangkap and suka ikut apa yang diorang tgk.

macam tadi, aku ada tgk cite 'Ceplos' kat tv9. saje je tgk, dah takde cite lain nak tgk. korang pernah tak tgk cite nih. aku pun tak tau Ceplos tu apa. tapi cite tu cite hantula. Qis tgh dok main laptop time tu. sekali tiba2 dia join aku tgk. macam biasa, ada sajala benda dia nak tanya. dia nampak je Ceplos tu, terus tanya 'mama, tu apa tu?'
alamak, apa aku nak jawab. takkan nak cakap uncle kut.
aku pun tiba2, dapat idea 'that's a magic man'. hahaha. apa punya jawapan daa...
lepas tu cepat2 aku sambung, 'tak best cite ni, kita watch cartoon k'.

moral of the story, dah ada anak tu, layanla cite yang berpekdah sikit. ingatan untuk diri sendiri. hehe..

this is Qistina's bestfriend. suka sangat dia dengan Elmo, since baby lagi. lately, tak boleh berenggang. hari2 nak bawa gi nursery..

Slide lagi....

last weekend, aku balik rumah mak aku kat alor setar sebab Friday was a public holiday here at Penang. best! sebab boleh lepak lama2 kat rumah mak aku ni, at least bolela aku rest sikit. hehe

so, as always Qistina bila nampak je mak long dia.... 'mak long! p slide nah'.

mak long dia dengan sangat berbesar hati membawa qistina g main slide. mama pun dengan berbesar hati join sekali, tinggal Irfan kat rumah, mak tok tolong jaga..

panjat tangga sampai nak terjatuh anak mama nih:) by the way, kat belakang tu pengantin baru, kakak aku n cik abe dia

weeeeeee.....slide!

oh tidakk! apa benda tu 2 jari tu. perlu ke? mak budak pun nak buat macam tu lagi ke. adehhh. apasal la aku susah sangat nak buang tabiat nih

Merit and Demerit System

Last few weeks, I was assigned by my bos for a new project, which is to develop a reward system to our plant. mak ai.apa ke benda pulak la aku kena buat nih.time dia brief aku tu, aku pun as always, pretend to be cool and steady. professional la tu kunun. hehe. but deep inside me, only God knows. memang berat task nih untuk aku, sebab aku takde experience langsung pasal benda nih, totally zero. and aku jugak tak boleh benchmark mana2 plant pun kat company aku coz tak pernah dibuat orang pun kat situ.

why me? why aku yang kena buat. maybe sebab aku je satu-satunya engineer kat department aku tu kut. but is this engineer's job anyway?

okeyy...take it easy. let's take it as a challenge! think positive.

i've just completed my proposal today and i'm going to present it to my bos early next week. not sure whether she will buy off my idea, but nvm..at least i have tried my best.

the reward system is something like Merit and Demerit System. i believe u all have heard about this since it is common at school. but, hey! u know what, we can apply it at home to our kids too. it some kind of a discpiline methode too.

Basically, the system is designed to promote positive behavior to improve discipline (Merit) as well as to emphasizes consequences of misbehavior (Demerit).

I'm not going to talk much here, but u can find more infos here on how u can apply this method to your kids. I have tried a few of it and personally, i think the method is good untuk guide u how to deal with toddler......

Demam bola..

last week, i had a great conversation with my colleouge about our kids, just to share experience. since she already has 3 kids, so i would say dia lagi otai la. chit chat punya chit chat, i came to know that she's sending her kids to chinese school. wow! salute!

actually i've been thinking to send my kids to chinese kindy too, maybe when they reach 4. but to send them to chinese school,hmmmmm....kena pk banyak kali kut. coz i heard it's tough. and my friend also admit that. afraid that too much pressure pulak nanti. anyway, i still got loooooonggg time to think and ask around.

ehh..title demam bola, but then aku melalut pasal chinese school pulak. intro je tu, it just the starting point of a conversation between aku n cik abang which then lead to sth that related to bola thingy......

me : abang. tadi kan sayang cakap ngan kawan kat ofis. dia cite dia hantar anak2 dia g chinese school. macam best je

cik abang : ye ke. sekolah mana

me : dia ada cakap tadi. tapi lupa la. tapi kan, macam pressure je chinese school

cik abang : memangla. kita tak payah hantar chinese school pun takpe. hantar class mandarin je. bagus belajar mandarin nih. advantage for future (then cik abang pun bukala cite pasal economy growth semua kat china etc etc....)

me : tapi kita kena start awal la kan. rasanya umur 4 tahun ok kut. kita hantar chinese kindy dulu

cik abang : ok gak tu. eh..nanti bila Irfan 3 tahun, abang nak train dia jadik goalkeeper la

me : errkkk. goalkeeper

cik abang : haah. hari tu, sayang tgk kan. abang baling2 bola kat Irfan. cekap betul dia tangkap bola. tu baru kecik tu

me : ehhh..hehehe. ye la bang. as u wish

takpe jugak. anak lelaki kan. kenala main benda lasak2 sikit. cik abang tu nak turunkan ilmu la tu:)

wah! tgk cik abang tu. aksi hebat menangkap bola. ni zaman muda remaja dulu la

cheerleaders team. cik kak tudung pink tu penyokong paling kuat. hehe

Susu naik harga!

eh! semua susu formula dah naik harga ke. Qistina minum susu ni, Step 3

dulu, susu Anmum yang 1.8 kg ni, tak sampai RM 60 pun, dalam RM 57 camtu. if offer, boleh dapat RM 52. kat carrefour selalu offer.

tapi kan, start a few weeks back, susu ni dah naik harga. melampau2 pulak tu. aku tgk kat tesco RM 67! carrefour pun sama gak. giler mahal. seb baik time tu stock ada lagi 3 tin, hasil borong kat carrefour time offer.

so tadi, kitorang g giant pulak, dengan harapan dapat murah sikit. Alhamdulillah. bolehlaaaaa... RM 59. tu pun kira offer. aku pun angkatla 2 tin.

tak taula susu lain naik tak harga. nak naik pun, man man la kan. ini sampai sepuluh ringgit naik, apa cite.

A promise is a promise..

Qistina : mama, kakak nak main slide

Mama : ok sayang. weekend k.

Veggie lovers!

All parents know that it’s crucial for vegetables to play a starring role in our child’s meals. but, it's either our child love it or scream at it when they see a glance of it in their meal. if they love it, then we are lucky la kan. the problem comes if they hate it, and we have to crack our head to think the strategy to get them on the veggie track for life. hari2 kena pk strategy untuk anak2 kan. hehehe. nvm, that's the joy of parenthood! let's cherish every single moment.

back to the veggie story, Alhamdulillah, mama tak perlu pening2, Qistina is a big fan of veggies. good girl! aku pun suka gak makan veggies ni, but i will pick only those yang tak pahit. ulam ulaman sah2 tolak tepi. qistina, i'm not sure whether she's also a picky one, but i hope not. so far, aku tgk dia suuuuuka sangat brocolli, cauliflower, carrot, sawi, bayam, potato (potato sayur ke.hehehe). tomato pun ok gak, sebab aku selalu letak dalam macaroni.

since Qis having no problem with veggies, so aku tak payah nak creative hias2 bagai. senang keja. masak sayur simple je, pun habis sepinggan Qis makan. tak caya, tgk nih.....

simple kan. senang dimasak sodap dimakan. ni Qis punya favourite nih. by the way, sebelah tu ubat batuk Qis. Qis baru je baik batuk

seb baik dulu aku selalu masak bubur kat Qis. kira bubur tu at least kena ada satu jenis sayur la. nestum or other baby food yang dalam tin2 tu memang qis tak layan punya. maybe sebab tu dia takde masalah nak makan sayur kut. so, sekarang ni, aku tgh train Irfan pulak, so far so good. good boy! hopefully both anak mama suka makan sayur ye sampai bila2.

so, korang if baby yang still kecik2 tu, mungkin boleh start train siap2. so senang keja kita di kemudian hari. hehehe. but for those yang ada problem tu, the following tips might help:

1. Set a good example - so, mak2 and ayah2 semua, jom kita makan sayur ramai2. just make a simple rule, one day at least one veggie. aku pun tgh try buat macam tu. kantoi gak kekadang. paling koman pun, if out of stock, mix veggie pun ok gak kan. goreng ngan telur ke

2. Take it easy. “Pushing your child to eat vegetables almost always backfires,” - tak payah nak paksa2. it will make it even worse, nanti terus dia tak suka langsung. if dia nak luah, biarkan aje. kadang2 qis pun ada luah2 gak. ikut mood jugak mek nih:) just keep trying everyday. bila dah lama2 nanti, dia tgk benda tu sentiasa ada dalam pinggan dia, dia pun makan jugak nanti

3. Keep it simple - hehe.. yang ni aku suka. sebab aku ni tak creative bab2 masak nih

4. Get your kids involved - try to create excitement time makan tu. like main pilih2 calour ke (veggies ni kan colourful), main teka2 nama veggies tu ke. apa2 la, yang nampak seronok for your child. this one works for Qis:)

marilah sama2 kita berusaha ye to create healthy eating habits....
