rompers vs hanya untukMU

salam all.

soalan cepumas tuk hari ni: anda semua sedang tersenyumkah skg? truskan senyuman n sentiasa happy ok. :)

*safiyya dah pandai menyusup/mengengsot semalam, 28 jan 2011.

title harini macam tu sebab ada 2 benda yang nak di share:

1. perihal baby dari kacamata saya. (betul. saya memang berkaca mata ;p)
2. hanya untukMU

ok, kita bercerita tentang isu pertama dulu. apa yang ingin dikongsi ini bukanlah telah di-approve oleh mana-mana badan yang berkaitan dengan well being of babies and children, tapi berdasarkan pengalaman sandiri yang terhad. harapnya dapatlah saya memberi sedikit useful insights dalam membantu kawan2 di luar sana.

rompers dan jenis-jenis baju yang seangkatan


rompers ( swimming suit yang bukan utk swimming!) yeah, baru terperasan, rompers tu mcm swim suit kan?(haha, slow siput betul.) rompers ni adalah pakaian yang boleh dikatakan paling glam time zaman baby. apatah lagi, design yang cute-cute di pasaran, yang boleh menambahkan cuteness anak2 korang, memang mencabar untuk tidak beli! tapi, bagi saya, rompers ni tak berapa sesuai untuk infants yang masih berusaha untuk menguatkn tulang leher. serius susah nak pakaikan bile kepala infants tu ade possibility untuk beroleng-oleng kiri, kanan depan dan belakang. SERIUS SUSAH!

piccy googled. ni lah satu contoh rompers yang kiut! kiut kan?

pakaian yang paling sesuai at that age is 2 pcs, yang berbutang depan. baju tu memang bes dan jauh lebih mudah utk dipakai. especially untuk first time moms, or yang tak berapa berani nak pegang baby, and those yang menjaga baby sendiri without any help from mom ke, mom in-law ke, or sape-sape ajelah.

piccy googled. ni baju butang depan. 

JADI, alaaa tak dapatlah nak pakaikan baby korang dengan rompers yang kiut miut tu. what a waste.. :(
janganlah bersedih sangat. time paling sesuai is time baby tu dah kuat tulang leher dia, dah start meniarap, and paling helpful bila dia da nak belajr merangkak. kalau pakai seluar panjang or yang tutup lutut tu, asik2 slip je time nak belajar merangkak. jadi eloklah kasi die pakai rompers hari-hari.. aik,pulak dah? hahaha, tadelah hari-hari. as a mom, pandai-pandai lah korang agak2.

ni actually tips untuk pakaian daily wear je. kalau sekali-sekala, nak pegi jalan2, takpe lah. pakai aje baju ape yang kiut2. janji masuk badan budak tu dengan selamat. :D and korang tak terkial-kial nak pakaikan dia satu baju sampai sejam. kesian anak tu weh.

okey, 2nd issue pulak.

hanya untukMU. is actually a question to myself. dalam kita nak mendidik diri menjadi lebih solehah, menambah iman di dada, 'hanya untukMU' menjadi penting dalam setiap perbuatan kita. tapi, macam mana nak menjadikan diri kita labih alert dgn ungakapan tu and menyatukannya dalam perbuatan kita? tanpa kompromi.~~ ya Allah, mudahkanlah buat kami semua.

okeh, sebelum menamatkan post kali ni, sila enjoykan diri anda dengan piccies dibawah ya

happy family, InshaAllah. 

cumel x?

CAKKK!! mama saya yang jahit beanbag ni. kalu nak beli, dia ada jual. click kat SINI ni ok. :) mekaseh

serius ni! nak merangkak

interview oh interview~~ tips to sell myself

well, u see, right now, im very busy looking for a job. and i believe that many of us are looking for jobs as well. as interview invitation calls are coming, i, as the interviewee  (is it a valid word?) would have to prepare myself, aren't i? one of the preparations would be answering all the questions given to their interest.

so, i've googled on this, and stumbled on this very interesting yet helpful blog! the blogger has listed down 50, i mean 50 common questions in an interview. check this out. this might help u too..:-)

this website is great too! it explains a bit deeper on HOW should u answer, them questions.  

but then again, just reading the tips wouldn't help much. yep, it does give some enlightenment on this matter, nevertheless, we'll have to start rehearsing on our own before stepping into the interview room and sell ourselves.

wah! brand new kah? persiapan utk tahun baru kah?

apanya yang brand new tu?

brand new blog-face lah..haha

banyaknye masa ai kan.. hehe..

nak berkongsi same websites or blogs yang share blog templates chumell2. kalau berminat, sila lah surf k..

1. http://btemplates.com
2. http://www.yummylolly.com
3. http://www.bloggerblogtemplates.com

yang the 1st two addresses tu best2 je templates die..rambang mata ai jap..adoii.. dok timbang2 yang mane yang paling berkenan di hati.. jadi ape yang korang tgk skg adalah pilihan hati ai.

pastu, ai update skali blog-shop yang dah bersawang-sawang tuh. alhamdulillah. nampak lebih cantik rasenye. alang2 korang klik cari template 2011, klik lah disini jugak ye. kalu berkenan, email aje ai.

ok lah..till next time..

ehhh,..jgn lupa, klik sini tuk tgk my blogshop k..

its all about today!

important milestones that must be recorded. one of them is safiyya's rolling up skill. hahaha, senang keje ai nanti bile die dah besa n tanya pasal time dia meniarap. i'll just send her off to my blog..cari lah engkau wahai budak..kih kih kih

she's 4 months & 5 days. and its this morning, i left her lying on the toto (somehow, dpt rase harini die akan meniarap!) and went to cook sup daging. check her from time to time.. tup2 dah meniarap dah.  pastu tolak die baring semula just to capture her video..hehehe... meraung budak tuh

i can say that today is a day of blessings ( everyday is, actually, tapi hari ni lain sket..:-) )

10.30am, kak long has safely delivered Qaira Arrysa at Naluri. dapat anak sedara baru, yay! alhamdulillah, everything went well, tho shes out earlier. kak long planned to induce on this coming friday.. :-D

safiyya da pandai meniarap. maybe she can sense that adik Qaira is coming out today..heheh (wonder, perhaps she can walk by the time Ameer arrives.. would be nice, isnt it..heee)

D ( kaseh2's job recruiter) informed him about the interview he undergone few weeks back. seems to be on the positive track. chances of securing the job is, 70%. D is negotiating on the salary with Aircom HR. Inshaallah everything will be well. pray for me people!~~

Our not yet new home is also in a good progress. Loan with BSN is approved tho this BSN loan officer works like shit, and mom in law with kaseh2 will sign the offer letter once ready. we've bought kain langsir (as mentioned in the previous post) and i've started gunting guntingan.. yay

ooppss, kaseh2 dah balik,, bye2

crushed

a good reminder, when  we think of doing, writing or even planning on something, think with the word full too, then u'll have that thoughtful decision, inshaallah.

if only..

...

safiyya baru aje abes susu n sedang tidur. jadi mama dia adelah mase nak update blog nih..

pagi tadi bangun awal, as a result, banyak masa untuk surf internet before that tecit tonet tu bangun.

sibuk mencari kedai yang jual botol susu brand tommee tippee yang paling murah. so far, bagi yang sedang mencari good bargain, sile ke website ni . tapi, downside of this kedai is, jauh from my house for cod. kat setia alam tuuu. bila call, tanya kalau nak guna pos, shop dia hanya akan layan process orders from internet on thursday. pastu nak pos ke umah, rm 10. kalau beli banyak, berbaloi lah. jadi, this another blog-shop jadi lebih menarik. huuu..sekarang tangah berkira-kira, maybe angkut asma' ke setia alam on wednesday lah jawabnye..heee. jalan2

kenapa tommee tippee?
pre-used comment:  bentuk dia ala-ala boobies payudara original. ada juga yang kata, teats lebih lembut dari silicone yang biasa2 beli kat kedai. e.g jenama anakku.

post-used comment: TUNGGUUUU~~~

ohh, cuba tengok links yang baru kita tambah kat sebelah tuuu.. ada minat???

challoo dulu  bebeh

hari ini hari ahad bersamaan dengan 21 november 2010, jam 10.18pm

kami kini berada di rumah sepang.. orang banyak rumah (rumah meme and mak mertua) memang kena pandai bahagikan masa untuk each of the houses..hiiii

pulang dari subang pagi tadi. sebelum meneruskan perjalanan, kami singgah di pasar ahad. memebeli barang basah. peti ais memang kosong lauk! setibanya di rumah, mengemas apa yang patut, menyiapkan sedikit projek.

sesudah asar, kami ke nilai 1 untuk mencari kain langsir rumah baru nanti.. hehe... tak sabar nak pindah ni. kita dah dapat kain untuk guest hall, family hall, and langsir bilik safiyya..huuu habis beberapa rats jugalah..

*adei,! kena kerja cepat ni

langsir untuk bilik safiyya colour biru, corak haiwan. ada sotong, ikan, jerung, etc.. yay, tak sabar nak jahit

hmmm... apsal entri kali ni skema gile?

ok lah, dah xde mood nak tulis sbenanye..

btw, ape maksud 'bakul masuk'?  hiiii sila sila jawab

names

must write this down!
safiyya ada banyak nama panggilan..

safiyya
amani
amoi piyah
moi moi
gaby
gaby moi moi
tecit tonet

ok nanti update lg..heee

safiyya lagi!

safiyya is about 3mo & 3 weeks. 25th of nov, she'll be getting her 4 mo injection. eiii, kenape tulis dalam english ni, should start writing in bahasa.

emak kata, baby akan berubah perangai ikut bulan (lebih kurang begitulah). jadi safiyya yang kini menghampiri 4 bulan, sudah menjadi sangat comel. hahahahahaha..ayat baku sungguh!!!!! skema nye!


lama tak lama, sudah hampir 4 bulan aku bergelar mama. orang kata, sekejap je masa berlalu. tup tup, dah setahun dah budak tu. sedar2, dah nak masuk sekolah dah dia, etc. well, itulah yang aku selalu dengar sebelum ada safiyya.

pada aku, yang menjadi surirumah sepenuh masa buat masa ni, hmm, 4 bulan tu lama juga sebenarnye! tak adalah sekejap sangat spt yg diwar-warkan oleh orang lain. mungkin tu apa yang dilalui oleh ibu2 yang  berkerjaya. ibu yang berkerjaya di rumah spt aku ni, hari2 menghadap benda yang sama, kadangkala ada sedikit perubahan. tapi... dalam 80% menyeronokkan tau! kenapa 80% je? hihi., sebabnya, brestfeeding ni kadang2 memberi tekanan juga kat aku ni. iyelah, time breastfeeding tu, aku duduk je. tak reti nk bergerak2 kesana sini sambil menyusukan safiyya.  adoiyai.. sampai boleh rasa pening tengok skrin tv tu!

lagi satu yang memberi tekanan kat aku: sedang syok wat keje2 rumah, safiyya bangun tido, nak susu. kita pun berhenti dari buat kerja utk menyusukan dia. lepas dah menyusu, main-main dengan dia, main lagi, main lagi main lagi main lagi.. paham tak? maksudnye die tak nak ditinggalkan, nak didukung je sampai next feeding! adoiyai lagi sekali. kerja yg kita buat tu ditangguhkan ke tak tahu-bilalah-boleh-sambung-balik
tapi alhamdulillah, sehari dua ni, safiyya dah tukar style dah. tak tahu lah sampai bila. tapi, buat masa ni, bila safiyya bagi sign nak susu, kita pun kasi susu. bila dia start memain cak-cak dalam menyusu tu, hah! apalagi time to stop. gelak2 dan gurau2 sekejap sebelum letak bawah layan diri. dia ok je. ngongoi sorang2,pastu penat, tidur sendiri. alahai anakku. baik nya!

time main2, memang seronok. kita suka betul tolak2 badan safiyya supaya meniarap. hihiii.. dia masih tak pandai meniarap. tapi tulang sudah kuat. bontot berat sangat kot! hahaha ( sekarang berat 6kg+, berat tak??) sangat suka bila kita meniarapkan dia. boleh gelak2 jerit2 bila kita tiarapkan dia. hahaha... best betul lah anak mama nih!

next, safiyya dah tunjuk kan hobi dia. baca buku. kaalu dibacakan buku kat dia (abah safiyya suka bacakan buku),* bersembang you, anak ai ngn buku tu!* macam2 bunyi dikeluarkan bila tengok gambar2. alhamdulillah. kekalkan hobi tu ye sayang. mama suka!

uihh banyak nye type. safiyya tengah tidur, amek kesempatan lah ni!. undur diri dulu.

world without strangers

if u still remember, Giordano once used this motto printed on their t-shirts. well, with safiyya around, its true to every word!

yesterday, i submitted my veil assignment to asma. whoa, finally finished and ready for her saturday wedding. then we went to pkns shah alam to look for her tudung. i carried safiyya in the ever useful sling. its like a kangaroo pouch. safiyya sat in that sling, cute and cuddly, plus attracted attention from people around her. its normal to hear people saying, "eeiii comelnye" , patted her 'vulat' bum,  and chatted with me on safiyya, ect.

At the end of our tudung quest, i went to buy drinks. by that time, safiyya was already asleep rocked by 'sling-rocking'. one of the worker said " alaaa dia da tido ke??" with the disappointed tone.. lolz.. a stranger was actually disappointed by that!

*** arghhh..why are u super adorable safiyya???

yeah, when u have a super adorable baby, world is definitely without strangers anymore!

11.14pm

...and im writing after the long abandonment to this blog..

life lately has been (buat-buat)busy? for this whole week, flu n cold have taken their time knocking us down one by one, including safiyya. poor thing..

next week would be my best friend's wedding. i volunteered to prepare her veil. alhamdulillah, still progressing well though my nose keeps on running away from me. urghhh... nevertheless, will meet her next week for the tryout & alteration(s). inshaallah.

news on tv? hmm boring2..prep for galas n batu sapi elections. couldn't care less on the result. [YES!, i have to change on this part. will try to get involve into the politics news as soon as i can(?) BN won at galas.] TV3 news were always showing BN's goodside. too much of it is not good. Shows that the government/BN is trying too hard to impress  the people.  huuu

merapi volcano blast is the latest in my list. well, natural disasters n tragedies are everywhere. we are definitely nearing the ending of the world. mahsaallah, my amalan..

safiyya is 3 months and 2 weeks old.
 she is SUPER ADORABLE!!!!!!. her head (or neck?) is strong now. she loves standing up. hardly sleeps during the day. but sleeps through the nite with a feeding around 3am. an early riser, around 7/8 am.
and i must say this again: safiyya is SUPER ADORABLE!!!

p/s: she can laugh with the sound too! not the silent laugh.
p/s 2: kaseh2 hati's fren said that safiyya smiles a lot. alhamdulillah. good n gay personality inshaallah.

30 hari

genap 30 hari safiyya bernafas di muka bumi ni.. sebulan dah die.. cpt mase berlalu..

well, die makin comel! makin rase nk hugle2 je tiap mase.. alahai anakku

mama safiyya pulak? hmm.. a bit slimmer..yay! penat bf budak sbenarnye.. dah biase bgn tgh2 mlm tuk every 2 hours, luka makin elok, alhamdulillah

bisik2 * rase nak kua je jalan2..maybe ujung mgu ni nak g ikea k, g curve k, ou k..oh, mid pun ok gak..hehehe, saya wat pantang saye tuk 30 hari je..;p

kelakarlah safiyya nih!

2 funny incidents:

#1
safiyya nak susu.. dah atas riba dah, dah angkat kepala dah ke breast. situasi kelam kabut.. or safiyya yg kelam kabut sebenarnye. nak latch on, tp tangan letak dpn mulut! cemane tuh nak minum?
terhisap tangan seniri,
tersedar bukan nye brest mama.. keluarkan tangan dr mulut n trus menangis! adoiyai safiyya..

lenkali, tangan letak lah tempat len..time tu jgk nk men2 ngn tgn!


#2
safiyya dah tidur, mama letak kat tilam kecik tuh.. elok je menelentang tdo (die x suke tido meniarap).
mama pon tinggalkan die, ninek plak masak kat dapo..

uwek..uwek.. tetibe safiyya nangis
cpt2 mama g cek.. alahai, anak aku dah terjatuh dr tilam, meniarap atas tikar rotan tuh..
hahahahaha...
tulah, x reti nk pusing balik!  cepat2 belajar pusing k safiyya

a month full of barakah, ahlan wasahlan ya ramadhan

its not around the corner anymore, its here.. now is already 7+ pm. means we have entered the much awaited month, ramadhan.

a year has gone by, how fast the time flew.. it is ramadhan again, and the second for me n hubby to fast n try fill our time with ibadah and amal to Him. last year, i woke up in the wee hour to prepare our sahur. the two of us only at our home. but this year would be a bit different. i wouldn't be able to start my fasting tomorrow as i am still in my nifas period.. sad sad, very sad indeed.

sahur is goin to be at subang permai. sahur wouldnt be a much fuss( as in getting up very early in the morning!). Safiyya is a blessing! her crying for feeding is our alarm clock now. she wakes up around 4 or 5am.

i hope, i'll be able to fast tomorrow. we'll see about that.. ooo nifaas, pls finish up quick!
i hope i can do lotsa amal this ramadhan.
i hope, i'll manage to pray tarawikh every nite at home ( its impossible to perform it at the mosque, safiyya wouldn't tolerate her feeding time!)

Ya Allah, answer my prayer..

selamat berpuasa to all

:-)

9 days old

it has been 9 days old since i gave birth to our little angel, Safiyya Amani. it has been 9 days ago i suffered fruitlessly in the labour room for 5 horrible & traumatizing hours. it has been 9 days since i started breastfeeding the little princess till my nipples swell, bleed and hurt like hell. it has been 9 days for me to hold the 'mama' title officially.. and in that 9 days, i cried, i woke up few times in the middle of the night, i tolerated with the safiyya's daily screaming for attention and going thru the emotional-hormone related roller coaster!

the 9 days of extraordinary events that took place leaves me with gratitude towards Allah for destined me the best hubby any wife could ask for! thank you sayang.. and my thanks started from the day you accept me as your wife, all the supports that u've given during the pregnancy, staying by my side throughout the 3 times induction process, trying to feel the pain like i do, the du'as and prayers for my safety and a whole lot more in the future.
i will always love you

Ya Allah, guide us to ur blessings in every move we r choosing.

25th July 2010 

after the 5 agonizing hours, writhing in indescribable painfulness, by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, kaseh2 hati determined to let me undergo cesarean. after all, 5 oc'lock would mark the time limit given by dactor bahiah and 3 cm is a long way to 10 cm!

the nurse prepared me for the c-sect process, gave kaseh2 hati a paper on anesthetics available, and wheeled me to the operation theatre. i couldn't think straight. contractions came in every few seconds. kaseh2 hati opted half-body epidural.

in the OT. i was alone without my significant other. it was an emergency according to the nurse. the anaesthetist, Dr Suraya injected me with epidural. i could feel the numbness spreed to my toes. the pain was gone instantly. it was a big relief! Alhamdulillah.

i was laid down on the bed, the room was bright with the white light. i felt nothing. the procedure was about to start. my emotion was numb too, just like my lower part of the body.

i have no idea for how long i stared at the white ceiling. i was wide awake. my hands were shaking because of the epidural. the chatters ( doctors n nurses) voice seemed far away.

the baby was out. Dr Yasmin the paediatrician took the baby out for some procedures. to check whether the baby is ok or not. then they brought the baby to me. its a girl. my Safiyya Amani is in healthy. down there, they were stitching my tummy.. Alhamdulillah.. its over.
.
.
.
.
.

i dont know whether i'm able to undergo the pain again or not.. i'll let the time heal my fear and decide later. :)

and by the way, Safiyya Amani was born at 4.16 pm, and weight at 3.41 kg.
