2017 - Idlan, Form 1, time flies!

My last post was about his trial xm, and tomorrow he's going to a boarding school already, a completely different phase of life i must say! Cpt masa berlalu kan.

2016 was truly a blessed year for us the whole family. Though we didnt go for any overseas travel, Allah has bestowed us with so many great things i couldnt mentioned enough.

Idlan performed well in his upsr and psra exam, one of the best gifts he gave to us apart from being a very obedient and responsible 'abg sulung'. For this, i am very thankful to Allah for He chooses us to be the parents to this lil boy, and ofcoz to his other siblings.

Firas also ended his Year 2 in style, made way to the stage again together with Idlan. He recently told us he wanted to go to Oxford, i was like wowwww this guy knew the existence of Oxford U!!

Ammar had his kindy convo, and now in Year 1. He literally cried almost everyday n refused to enter into Kafa during the Dec's orientation that idlan n ustazah had to pull n carried him inside, but alhamdulillah no drama whatsoever on the 1st day of school last week. Lega mak!!

Irfan Faris my miracle baby is no longer a small baby. Alhamdulillah he grows well and healthy, and looks like he is completely recovered from laryngomalacia. His vocabs increases from mth to mth, i think i shouldnt worry much about his speech.

We ended 2016 with me n hubby went to perform our 1st umrah. All went well for us, and kids who were left here with nek umi and atok at Ampang for 12 days.

And finally on career side, i am now again undergo another round of job rotation, new unit new team bigger roles n responsibilities.

As i have always remind and tell myself, i was at my weakest point in 2015, but Allah has picked me up and blessed us with lots of good things in return after He tested us with Irfan's sickness. For that i must not forget Him, and must always put my faith in Him, in whatever undertakings.
I hope i can stay istiqomah in improving my relationship with Him, apart from always doing the best for my family n company.

Alhamdulillah terima kasih Ya Allah. Allahuakbar.

#throwback 2015

2015 has been a challenging year, for our family. Things that happened has really become an eye-opener, for me and hubs. It was a long journey, a rollercoaster ride, moments that i wish i can write them off of my mind.

It all began in March.

12th March - Irfan was first diagnosed with Laryngomalacia. A severe one.
31st March - his first op. 3 weeks in PICU. Continuously on breathing machine and NG tube for feeding. He was then transferred to a normal ward. My already hectic life turned into nightmares. Sleep-deprivation, mentally and physically exhausted. I looked far worst than a bibik so to speak.
Early June - his 2nd op.
End June - He finally discharged from PPUM, after a 3-mth hospital stay. Our most dreadest moments in life..so far.

and the rest is history.

I don't wish to recap the details, as reminiscing all those moments are really painful. It brings tears to my eyes, each time the memory kicks in. It brings tears to my eyes, each time i accidentally flip the old pictures of him, wearing that oxygen mask, that feeding tube, all those wires around his body, etc. And because of that i don't dare reading my old blog entries, mostly written when i was in hospital, with him.

Those are the past, and now he is thriving well, though not 100% fully outgrow his LM. He still has another 1 minor op awaiting, soon.

I am leaving everything to Allah. For He is the best of planner, not matter how perfect our plan is.
I need to be positive, remain strong, and have faith in Him, always believing that whatever happen is the best that Allah has planned and arranged for us. Insya Allah.

On the other note, 2015 has been a great year for us as well. Idlan and Firas ended their schooling years pretty well, and we made it to NZ, yeay!

I hope 2015 has been a good year for you guys as well.
and lets strive for a better year in 2016...amin.

opss my #throwback is pretty short don't u think?
well some things are better kept to ourselves.

------------------------------------------------------
After 3 mths of maternity leave, followed with a 7-mth unpaid leave, i am nervous about going back into office this Monday. Now where did i throw my mouse?????

Mybuddies Run @ Cyberjaya

I made it yeay (5km je, jangan gelak!) Though the timing was out, its the end result that counts right haha. In fact one of its banner says "we run to complete, not to compete "

Anyway this is one of the many things that i've wanted to do most when i was pregnant with Irfan. I'm not sure why, probably all the running hypes and pictures of ppl looking cool in their running attires that sparked my intention.

To be honest, I didnt get the chance to practise enough. Only twice before the event, and of course those were the only times i exercised after 2yrs! Badan berat and lemau toksah cakapla hihi. To make things worst, i had migrain during the event because irfan was sick and went cranky the night before, he woke up every less than an hr going merengek2 but refused to feed :(

Post-run, i told Idlan that we should do this more often. It wasnt as bad as i had imagined. But lets just stay at 5km-7km only shall we? And night run is preferable, so that i dont get my head being exposed to sun and later causes migrain huhu

Frankly that day, we walked more than we ran. The moment you start walking, you just tend to keep on walking instead of running haha. I told Idlan to just leave me behind if he wants to, but this guy always decided to pace-walk with me..haish x memberikan example yg baik utk mama tau!

Running was fun i must say. In fact i know people were really enjoying their times, especially those running with their families. Kuddos to those that run while pushing the strollers, and few others that carry their babies in baby carriers. Kagum sangat!

So running - checked.

There're a lot more awaiting. Antaranya #demirinjani  #beranganitufree hahaha

Me and my endless to-do list

Screenshot from insta je aci tak?

myBuddies Run - 5km Masked Fun Run

Done registered for the above event, for both Idlan and me. Going to be my 1st run ever, hence 5km is good enough (hoping that i wont get fainted in the middle of the run!). Idlan's presence is indeed important. I need a good buddy who is willing to share our grunts and tears, and endless mental support to each other :)

Registrstion fee is RM55/pax. Late entry fee is RM65. Event to be held on 20th Dec, starting point at MMU Cyberjaya, end point i dont even bother to know hihi.

Ok i dont know when i should start training, time is my real enemy nowadays. Obviously Idlan is more fit than me since he plays football every evening.

So mother-son run sounds cool dont u think?

Hepi weekend peeps!

Outing as a mum of 4

1. Going out & about as a mum of four, you dont really pay attention to the details when it comes to clothing. Go for blouse that requires no ironing. No plain shawl, if possible always go for dark-colored shawl.U sure dont wanna stain ur shawl with saliva, pumpkin, carrot or chicken!

2. Equip urself with the necessary bby gadgets. Stroller, bby carriers, stroller fan are amongst other things. Plain water, thermos, formula, spoon, toys, bib n home made food are included in our case.

3. Always spare bby wipes in ur handbag. It can do wonders to remove stain on ur shawl or shirts :)

4. Do not carry a large handbag. Forget ur stylish tote and go for slings instead. U need to carry a baby and a handbag at the same time. Everything must be easily reachable in seconds! Imagine a crying baby and urself queuing at the payment counter?

5. Be prepared to become the last person to enjoy ur lunch meal. Ur bby may become cranky n wants to sleep the moment you're about to take your 1st bite :)

Enough for now...i'll cont later in a separate entry.

Pic below: me in my favourite purple-black shawl, cardigan+ tshirt buruk pakai basahan kt umah jer :p

Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Nose Pack

We all were kind of impressed with Farra's review on her usage of nose pack in removing blackheads. Her result was outstanding n truly impressive we'd say!
So today after sahur n done with some ironing, i took out the very same version of nose pack and the foc handkerchief from Innisfree and tried my luck.
The steps are pretty easy. Pat some water on ur hankie or any clean towel, warm it up with iron and put it around ur nose area for some minutes. Repeat for 2-3 times to open up ur pores area. Then pat some water onto ur nose, peel off the nose pack from its film n quickly place it on ur nose. Leave it for 10-15 min. I googled potential recipes for iftar while waiting...uishh terliur plak tgk resepi best2 haha.
And so after a good 15min, i peeled off the nose pack,anxiously wanting to see the result.
Hurmmmm i actually hope to see more blackheads coming out of the nose pack, but to my surprise i can hardly find more than 10 dots! arghhh frustrated ok haha
Guess i can make 2 possible inferens from here:
1. either the blackheads are too stubborn to be pulled off;
2. or i actually dont hv many blackheads hence i can sleep with peace of mind hihi
oh in case u wonder this is my 1st time using a nose pack :p

counting days

sindrom org yg dah lama x cuti jalan-jalan:

6. kalau x bawak jaket..sempat ke nk beli jaket baru and terus pakai. dilema yg sgtla x penting buat sang lelaki tetapi jadi major issue yg berlegar2 dlm kepala si isteri!
7. perkara penting bila sampai airport..amik gambar kasut kami berlima sebagai tanda kick off! jgn memain bukan project2 besar je ada kick-off :p
8. bawak 3 shawl and ulang2 je selama 9 hari ok ke? org perasan tak? cess dulu2 penah je pakai the same shawl or tudung for 4-5 consecutive days
9. dulu2 takde nk kisah pasal perfume. kali ni hover sgt siap kalut cari miniatures..ape kes?
10. dulu2 sibuk pk nk pakai handbag ape, now zmn dh berubah. sudah mula kenal deuter,karrimor..brape liter..model ape..perghh knowledge berubah 360degree you!!
10. okla i better cut off the craps...mmg x jadi koje kalau pk lebih2 hehe
till then~

Azam 2014

Do more cooking! At least home made breakfast on weekdays n full meal on weekends :)

Eat supplements rigorously! Now i consume habbatussauda, executive B & calcium magnesium. Vit C skip2 sebab besar sgt. Kind of difficult to swallow with plain water :p

Mental-prep to be stress free so that i dont get migraine attacks as frequent as last yr. Health is wealth people!

Travel travel travel! With that i must do less shopping & divert more to my travel fund hihi

To encourage my eldest to do revision on weekends & avoid last minute study for exam purpose only!! Ohh this one he gets from his mama, so i must not let him continue doing so. Tak bagus!!

Eh banyak dah tu. Let's keep it until here, and see whether those are achieved and on track :)

Takut ke bekam??

Such a long hiatus from my last entry, lose the energy to blog again dear self???
To me blogging needs some kind of mood, and it relates to momentum as well. The moment u lose the right momentum, there u go falling off the track.

So what's new with my life recently? i guess a lot of things happened of late, which i dont think i can write and share everything in this space. But one of the biggest things that worth mentioning, i went to bekam on last Sunday!! With one of my geng lunch, Aini :) Aini heard about this pusat terapi bekam Al-Hajari from the facebook, which she later shared with us the geng lunch over the watsapp (well we shared a lot of things over this medium - pool beli shawl, pool beli tudung, beli blouse, gossip, cerita pasal food, tpt makan best, tips2 nak kuruskan badan or any body flab, some of us shared our calories burnt everytime we finished doing work out, and the very last thing that i can recalled, pool beli collagen!! such a variety of topic and things that we do n share, which is why catching up with geng lunch is important and becomes our routine!).

 So to cut it short me and Aini booked a slot with this center, and went for our bekam session with the owner called Baiti. Her husband and her operates the center from home, which to us is quite convenient coz the service is very personalized, cuma yang tak best we need to queue before our turn comes up sebab session dibuat one after another...bukan simultaneous few ppl at one particular time.

Why did i agree to go for bekam? well this is the first in my life, and just because i had frequent migrain attack these few weeks i think i need to scout for alternatives, rather than relying on pain killer (i.e. ponstan) every time i had the attack. In my case i have to take at least 6 biji ponstan in a day each time i had the migrain, which is bad seriously! and of course not good for my liver and kidney in long term! I am tired taking the ponstan, and because of this i agreed to try out the bekam, some more this is one of the Prophet sunnah, so why not try kan?

I let Aini to start her session first, because Aini already had few bekam experience before unlike me, yg agak nervous hari tuh! Aini had 19 points altogether, which is scary! (haha takdela scary actually, tak sakit mcm bersalin ok!). Baiti will advise how many and at which points area we need to put the cup according to our prescriptions pasal diri kita sakit apa dan sebagainya. For me yg kerap migrain, she decided that i should hv 13 cups, 1 at the back of my head, 2 kat leher, 3 kat bahu, 2 di belakang lutut and the rest was scattered on my back. Mula2 buat bekam angin, utk memecahkan angin2 di bwh kulit supaya senang darah keluar...time ni mmg best giler, rasa mcm org urut yg kuattttt giler. Serius rasa lega amat! Then after 10min barulah dia akan cucuk beberapa points sebelum letak semula cup utk start bekam darah. Cucukan kat leher paling sakit, mungkin sbb leher lembut...so rasa lenguh dan sedikit sakit bila darah keluar...tempat lain alhamdulillah rasa ok jer. Sakit dia 'bearable' la....serius semua orng boleh try. Sesi kami berlangsung hampir sejam kot....darah paling byk keluar kat kepala dan leher...mmg sesuai la dgn migrain ku tuh :p

Overall, both of us rasa pusat terapi ni sgt ok...harga sgt murah berbanding tpt lain (hanya RM5 per cup, RM10 per cup utk kepala)...ada tpt lain charge RM20-30 per cup tau! Alat2 dan tatacara kebersihan nmpk memuaskan...lepas settle dia sterilize cup2 yg digunakan sebelum recycle utk customer lain.  Sempena ramadhan ni depa buat promosi 11 cup RM40! Utk aku 13 points hari tu cuma byr RM55, while Aini RM80.

So far selepas seminggu berbekam hanya sekali kena migrain (stress kena wat paper board yg terpaksa tukar dan amend ntah berapa puluh kali huhu). Dlm masa yg sama saya tgh pantang nescafe...dah 2 minggu stop minum nescafe. Jadi breakfast setiap pagi ditemani susu dutch lady perisa coklat atau strawberry..ok what sedap pon sedap kan hihi. Kata Baiti antara makanan yg patut kita amalkan adalah kurma, jus delima dan madu...ni 3 serangkai yg penting utk amalan harian. Susu kambing pon elok...mmg menjadi amalan Rasullullah...tapi saya tak penah minum hoho. Oh lupa nescafe tu tak bagus sbb kandungan caffeine yg tinggi tu memekatkan darah, yg mane akan meninggikan tekanan di salur darah dan buat dia jadi meregangn...jadi boleh juga menjadi penyebab kpd sakit darah tinggi! Nauzubillah takut bila dengar...sbb tu nekad nak stop dulu nescafe buat sementara waktu...

Migrain berlaku kerana salur darah ke otak kita tersumbat..mungkin disebabkan corak pemakanan, stress, cuaca panas atau terlalu sejuk, etc. Saya perasan yg saya mmg senang kena migrain bila stress. Stress sket terus migrain...dahsyat betul..konfem esok2 takleh jadi big boss! hehe

Bagi anda yg teringin nak try bekam tapi takut...nasihat saya pegi jelah try..mmg worth it!
Takdelah sakit sgt pon...time cucuk tu mcm rasa kena gigit semut (tapi 1 cup tu byk kali gak dia cucuk ade dekat 7-8 kali kot hehe). Kalo nak compare dgn sakit contraction nk bersalin...uishhh mmg incomparable lah! hehe

Ikut Baiti, seelok2nya buatlah bekam every 40 days. Paling elok buat bila anda berpuasa, kerana badan akan concentrate utk proses penyembuhan dan tak bz nak mencernakan makanan (sbb tu org operate kena pose, amik darah kena pose). Kalau nk try, pegila ke pusat2 yg boleh dipercayai. Ada jugak kawan saya cerita, dia penah pegi bekam style toreh2 bukan cucuk tuh...jadi excessive bleeding kat kepala...uish dgr pon horror. Aspek kebersihan pon sgtla penting. Kalo x bersih, huish nauzubillah takut kita terjangkit penyakit org lain kan!

So kalau tanya saya lain kali nak pegi lagi tak..jawapan saya adalah YA :)

Drama Adam dan Hawa

This drama surely has made me smiling from ear to ear all the time. Even listening to its song alone has cherished my usual boring day at work…giler sungguh penangan AH nih :p Like I said to my geng lunch mates, aku tak turun lunch pon dah kenyang dengar lagu nih (haha derang cakap ai poyo tapi mmg betul sgt poyo kan!)  Yesterday my colleague next to me bluetoothed the song to my pc which I later sent to my Note, and I was like listening to the song while settling my office work, from noon…till I got back home. Sepanjang drive pasang lagu tu…giler giler and surprisingly I never get bored over it. In fact pagi ni masih pasang lagu yg sama dari rumah hingga ke ofis…arghhh sengal rasa.

I really like Ain Hawani. She’s good, her acting is truly superb! She’s even better than lots of super senior actress out there. How I hope and wish that she will win any movie or film award very soon. hebat hebat! For those who are yet to get hook on this drama, haha beware yer. Once you start, there will be no turning back definitely. Bertabahla utk habiskan 80 episode altogether! 

Now I’m glad I bought a Note. Can watch AH anywhere anytime muahahaha

For those who doesn’t subscribe to Astro (like me!), no worry. Go to your browser and look for http://dramaonlineuntukanda.blogspot.com or www.dailymotion.com to watch the drama. Thanx to those who are kind enough to upload all the episodes on the net, u guys really rawks la!

Nak jadi sengal macam ai jugak? ha carikla lagu Muara Hati by Hafiz and Dato’ Siti. If u don’t like the song, leave the comment here. If u really2 like it, hehehe pasangla dari pagi sampai petang macam saya. Konfem senyum sorang2 sambil buat keje ofis…tak caya ha pi tgk cermin atas meja korang tu :p

Ok dokie... pegila sambung keje ofis nuh...:) Malam ni bley sambung tgk lagi. Jangan tengok kat ofis tau...tak baik!!

Hari Wilayah...

- begins with a simple brekkie that was cucur bilis Adabi.
- 1st pumping session done in 15min before 11am.
- Head off to TGV Cheras Selatan for Sumpahan Kum Kum (ok jgn gelak, ni je yg paling best buat hari ini rasanya!), hb settled for a couple seat for a show at 11.45am.
- Had a quick 15min lunch at Subway next to the TGV. Hb chose meatball marinara while myself had turkey breast n chicken slice. Sedap banget!! Cookies dia pon sedappp :)
- Watched Sumpahan Kum Kum till the show ends around 1.25pm. Okla, takdela takut sangat but still ai kejap-kejap tutup mata bila hantu keluar tsk tskk...
- Had a good 15min window shopping at Jusco. Bagus, nafsu masih terkawal hence no damage done.
- Sharp 2pm we both split in our own way, hb went for a meeting while myself shot to Yummie to top up my bakery supply. Diam tak diam i spent close to 1 hour dekat situ and the damage? biarlah rahsia arghhhh
- Reached home around 3.40pm, and did another round of pumping after solat. Actually pumping and FB run concurrently :)
- Lepas solat asar, nesting in the kitchen for 1hr++ baking brownie and prepare dinner. Siap buat 2 version of dinner lagi...macaroni goreng for the kids, mihun goreng with vege and extra chilli for us.
- Sapu living hall in 5-7min, clean the dishes and segala tok nenek dlm sink, fetch the kids from taska at 6.40pm (ouchhh dah lebih 6.30pm, terpaksa bayar OT nanti!).

When i recalled the activities, it's more like you are in an 'amazing race'. Buat itu, next ini, lari ke sana, pecut ke sini...all in one day.

But when you are back to work, practically you'll just be sitting in front of lappy for a 'good' 4 hour++ before lunch time, then lepas lunch duduk balik tgk lappy sampai ke petang. Probably do lil bit of exercise when a meeting is held next to your building. Or doing some mental therapy when there's a bazaar on the ground floor on certain occasion. And settle for something 'extraordinary' lunch at MV or KL Sentral on Friday that's near your pay day.

So now tell me, which one sounds better? Duduk senang lenang depan pc dlm air cond sehari suntuk, atau berlari ke sana ke mari macam org bz giler penat toksah ckp la but deep inside you know you've done something and enjoy doing loads of things to the fullest?

lagi best when seeing ur hb eating 2 full plates of ur home-cooked dinner complaining u're ruining his diet but at the same time he gave u big compliments like 'this is the best mihun goreng i've cooked for him so far" haha

Priceless kan??? :p

okla cut the crap. esok kena keje as usual hoho

my first 2012 entry

Again I guess I’ve lose the energy to blog, though there’re actually loads that I wish I could tell and share over here.

It’s the 6th day of the new year 2012. I don’t put any resolution yet in writing, nor do I have anything in mind right now. Probably I have too many things to consume and think be it at home-front or office that my mind keeps on wandering and working wearily.

To start with, my eldest has been transferred to a new primary school nearby our house. It wasn’t an easy decision for us, and him of course, but we hope we’re making the best decision for him. I don’t want to elaborate further on the reason and whatnots, but we’re praying hard he’ll be ok going thru the transition process – new school, new set of friends, new teachers, new environment, everything.

First day, I was with him till recess time. Alhamdulillah he was attached to a class in which some of his old friends who previously went thru the same tadika at our taman were in that class too, hence I don’t think he has issue adapting and coping with new friends. Breaktime, he went to canteen with them, and later I asked him to go to surau to perform Zohor prayer with them too. Told and reminding him many times not to skip his solat no matter what happen. He took the right bus on the way back home on the 2nd day, that’s a huge relief to us. This year, me and hubby determined to prepare ‘bento’ set for him everyday. Apa itu bento? Haha sila gugel ok :p So overall, Idlan seems to be fine on his first and second day of schooling, both at Kafa and sek keb.

Our second darls Amir Firas went to kindy this year. It was the same tadika with his taska, hence this boy has no issue adapting to the teachers and friends. First day during line up in the morning, he was all bz chit-chatting and playing with his bff Qaisara, while his other friends reciting doa and sang Negaraku. When he later spotted that me and hb were staring at him, he gave us his normal shy-shy smile and look away, and soon afterwards bz chit chatting again with that girl. Ah our Firas is obviously a total opposite from his brother. We still remember idlan was quite responsible and matured when he was 4yr, while Firas is still behaving like a kid, very cheeky and naughty in his own way. I asked him what he did on his first day at kindy, he uttered ‘ntah’. I think he took no serious about this schooling thingy at all hihi.

Myself? Ahh 2011 has its own ups and downs but overall Alhamdulillah to me everything works well both at home or work. There’ll be some restructuring over here and I’ll be incharged of other commodities very soon, no more procuring cables, materials and network items anymore, will be reporting to a new bos which I kind of dislike him but let’s just keep going and take it as a challenge ok!

This year I foresee to be a lot more hectic and busy, but we’re set for Phuket and Perth as some of the highlights for our holiday (and i wish to include USS as well bley tak Yang hehehe). And yes I sooo wanna have a repeat visit to Desa Waterpark with the kids, if only I knew their waves pool is so cool am sure will bug hb to take us there on each school holiday :p

So how's your 2012 going on so far peeps? have a great weekend ahead ya!
Me will be super bz pressing the kids' clothes aduhai task yg sgt membosankan!! - 3 pairs for sek keb, 3 pairs for Kafa, and another 3 pairs for that cheeky Firas! Lucky Ammar is only 15mths if not i'll be collapse halfway for sure :p

Oct already?

Salam peeps!!
Am back already...and safely has gone to work as well ahh sgt bosan :p
Wait for my hk review eh..for time being am quite bz cleaning n replying emails, i've got tonnes of PO pending for my approval, n i oso need to provide comments n feedbacks for 2 pb that has been outsourced to a dear friend!!

N back at home there're 2 baskets full of clothes waiting dearly to be folded...adesss acik rasa sgt bZ ok. Some more next monday our eldest is sitting for his final xm! Mama dah cuak...baru nk suruh anak bukak buku :p

Till then korangs bubybe!!

of shoes management :p

Operasi mengemas rumah hari ni. Tergerak hati nak bukak rak kasut, dan keluarkan mana2 yg tak patut sbb rak dah semput dan penuh sesgt...En Hb pun dah bising2 tuuuhhh. Bila disusun, uh uhhhh tak sangka i have soooo many shoes!!! There're more not in the pic actually ngeeeeee :p

Not so warna-warni..majority is black and brown..biasalah senang nk match2 gitu :)

This is my all-time favourite amongst all..hadiah dari En Hb tapi of course saya yg pilih la :)

ahhh mama dah buang tebiat kot gatal beli kasut tinggi sgt ..pastu nak dukung si Ammar lagi ke hulu ke hilir...haaa sah la mama dah miung :p

Okla nak sambung mengemas ngeeeeeee sempat lagi tu update blog hihi

17 Ramadhan...

Which also equivalent to Nuzul Quran. So how was ur Ramadhan so far? Some of my tracking progress goes below:
- reading Quran : am not doing any better than last yr. Baru juzuk 6...far away from the target. Normally i'll read right after subuh, and during lunch hr at the office.
-terawikh : just like the prevoius yr, i'll do the terawkh at home. This yr, most of the time i perform the solat before sahur, simply becos i sleep early...tidurkan ammar n myself pon terus tertidur huhu!
- iftar : am a good girl since i cook almost everyday. Missed out cooking for 3 days but the rest is all home- cooked. Taste-wise pon ok alhamdulillah. Yesterday's mee kuah sedappp, kari ayam also sedap bak kata hb n idlan..lelain pon all menjadi hihi. I guess it's purely due to the keberkatan in the ramadhan itself that makes me super rajin. But i bet after raya the kitchen will be put on rest...probably till the ramadhan next yr! Haha
- i miss baking so much!!! No home- made raya cookies this year cos all kuih tunjuk2 saje definitely. But i promise to myself to try out this new-found recipe which i bet must be very delish! Here to go the choc banana bottom square brownies n hawflakes layer cake!! Will review when am done with that ya :))
- my EBM output is not as much as during the normal days, but alhamdulillah the frozen stocks are more than enough to cater for ammar's daily needs. The 1st two day of ramadhan was terrible since i was sooo dehydrated, but days after that everything is back to normal. I guess the body can adjust already :) pumping session done only twice a day at the office. Will go back to the regime 3x pumping after raya nnt :)

That's it for now. I'm on leave today since the school n taska is closed today. Got two big piles of clothes to fold up, and yesss it's gonna be the banana choc brownies as dessert for today's iftar...x sabarnyer!!!!

PEROMPAK!!

Ok this is one hel* real life experience, take a deep breath before u scroll down further ya!

















It was yesterday that we decided to break our fast outside, simply because my dear amir firas who has been down for fever for 4 days requested to have ‘spaghetti kuah putih’ for dinner. Kesian kat anak yg makin mengurus sbb hilang selera makan, plus mama is just too lazy to cook anything for iftar, we headed to Jusco Cheras Selatan then. Went to Pizza to do the booking, FULL. Second option is Kenny Rogers, also FULL. Adesss finally we went to SR. It’s only 6pm during that time and most of the eateries are already full..perghh ramai yg berbuka kat luar ni rupanya!

So we were ushered to the allocated table, browse thru the menu, when Ammar started to crying (kes sudah ngantuk tahap gaban). After told mr hubby what I want, I took the kids outside, with ammar inside the stroller. Me and the kids were about to walk to Auntie’s Annes kiosk when suddenly few people running right in front of us and shouted ‘perompak perompak!!’. More and more people running and heading to the main door and there you go, 3 tall and thin men (very young I bet) wearing a black mask running in front of us (just a few meters apart), carrying a rectangular shape ATM machine. Followed by a pak guard (only has a baton in hand, no gun whatsoever) who keeps on shouting ‘woiii woiiii!!’ to stop the robbers but hey setakat suara pak guard tu apelah yg perompak tu nak takut kan!

Me and idlan was stunned, myself initially think ‘ehh ni real ke shooting drama ni’. Simply because some of the running women tu ade yg menjerit muka takut, ade yg gelak2 macam berlakon hehe. Idlan stood still, unmoved. I was infact ‘bertentang mata’ dgn one of the guy sbb kebetulan dia pandang to my face. Dusss the incident happened too fast that I pun macam blur2 jadiknya hehe. Lucky there was no gun shots whatsoever, if not me and the kids probably might get shooted because we were standing just few metres dr perompak tuh!

So that’s it guys, story utk hari ini dari seorang saksi yg tak bertauliah hehe. I told hubby, senang rupanya nak rompak atm machine inside the shopping mall, because all the pak guards are not equipped with guns …setakat kayu baton utk pukul org tu je. After the incident, the spot was swarmed by so many pak guards, but I believe they just cant do anything. And that 3 perompak mmg sgt daring, because they did it time org sgt ramai..but that gives them an advantage to run escape betul tak??

So ade berani mau buka puasa kat luar lagi tak? Haha

Hari yg mencabar for me for the past few days.

Started from Monday-Tuesday, I was away the whole day for the Maybank charity sales carnival. Tiring, dan sangat lembik satu badan, but Alhamdulillah the crowds turned out to be awesome, and we managed to collect quite a lot! Syukur!! A whole new experience meeting up with new people, know their ragam and all, cumanya sampai sekarang macam tak percaya, waahhhh penat giler rupanya berdiri jaga booth!! Balik rumah mmg flat tak larat masak huhu.

The very same Tuesday morning, while I was on the way to the booth, I got a phone call from somebody from the company, asking me to become a witness for a case which the session scheduled to be held today. Nervous makcik, coz I am representing my division, and if I slip out something which I shouldn’t, the whole team may get the consequences. I pray that today I can talk and act likes a pro, and that the truth prevails….and the convict get penalized for his wrongdoings. May Allah helps me throughout the session…amin.

And oh, the birthday boy was down for a fever n flu since yesterday. Still demam today, but we need to send him to taska since hubby got class, and me got to attend the session. Anyway hubby already prepared some goody bags for him to share with his friends, hope that at least can cheer him up :)

Hope your days are not as tough as me...have a bless Ramadhan peeps!!

Keluarga Bahagia Pemangkin Kecemerlangan

Entry tertangguh. Dah lama niat utk share kan tips ini, tapi asyik tak sempat je.
Beberapa minggu lepas (atau minggu lepas ke? oh teruk betul memori saya sekarang!) saya ada keluar sekejap dari ofis utk mendengar ceramah ini, yg diadakan di surau Menara dan disampaikan oleh 2 org ustaz dari xxx. Jom kita tengok apa tips yg diberikan utk mendapat sebuah keluarga yg bahagia!

1. Memberi salam
2. Solat berjemaah
3. Makan bersama-sama (sangat digalakkan menggunakan tangan, bukan sudu dan garfu kerana air tangan drpd makanan yg dikongsi itu sangat baik utk kita sesama ahli keluarga! Ikan seketul dicubit dan dikongsi bersama...hah begitulah contohnya! :)
4. Majlis ilmu - sebaiknya disampaikan oleh si ayah. Atau si ibu. 5 minit selepas solat pun jadilah. Tidak perlu satu sesi majlis yg formal..cukuplah anak-beranak berkumpul dan mendengar sedikit tazkirah dr ibu bapa.
5. Banyakkan membaca Al-Quran
6. Banyakkan berzikir

Sekian utk kali ini. Semoga dpt manfaat, dan semoga kita menjadi insan yg lebih baik daripada hari kelmarin insya Allah.

one happy lady....

because of few things:

1. Pergi site survey dekat manhole pagi tadi. Konon nak turun masuk ke dalam guna tripod tu, tapi agak bahaya takut equipment tu tak stable, pastu kena pakai baju perkakas, topeng tutup gas sumer...ish malas la. Next time saya upload gambar ok.

2. My age according to the scale machine is 24! Sangat muda yer acik suke!!!! Tapi paling penting, fat composition level & visceral fat level below borderline..alhamdulillah takyah risau dah pasni hehe. So Aini (aka pakar penasihat kesihatan kami) nanti bila rajin silalah update result kami semua yer tq dear!!
