Hello......FOOD!

Assalamualaikum...

Faris is 5 and the half months now and he's ready for solid food. Some parent might want to stick to the 6months period before introducing solid to their babies. At first, that was my intention too.. But, seeing my dear baby drools everytime he sees people eat, I tak sampai hati. So I decided to start early...

So, yesterday (29/8/2013), for the first time, he ate something other than breastmilk!! Yeay.... I prepared a dates puree for him yesterday. Sounds kinda weird kan? Jarang-jarang dengar orang guna dates to introduce solid to babies.. But yesterday was an ad-hoc action it seems. I kesian tengok dia tenung Fatin makan cookies pastu terkunyah-kunyah, dan tidak dilupakan, efek air liur tu.. So, dengan pantasnya mama bukak fridge and tengok apa yg boleh dimagikkan jadi baby food.. Hehehe.. 

Unfortunately, we were out of fruits! And kalau boleh, I don't want make a puree of potatoes or carrot dulu.. Takut rasa tak sedap, dia fobia plak.. Boleh?? Hahahaha.. I nampak kotak black dates, written on it 'fresh unpitted dates', 'no additives, no alcohol'. So I peeled off the kulit, steamed and mashed it with breast milk. Alhamdulillah, Faris makan dengan berselera. But, I tak habiskan semua yg I mashed tu, sbb takut it was too sweet for Faris *tho due to kotak,it is purely dates' sweet.. No additional sugar*.. Karang hyper pulak bujang ku itu, tak tidur malam.. hehehe..

Today, I prepared a banana puree for his lunch.. Sama jugak prosesnya, 1 pcs of banana, steam it, and mashed it with 1oz of my milk.. 

The FOOD... A banana puree

The Big boss, ready for his lunch.. "I WANT MY FOOD! I WANT MY FOOD!"

How did he take it? Tengok lah sendiri.. hehehe..

Too slow.. Let me hold it by myself..

Yummy babehhh...

This food must come from heaven...

What look..look? I'm eating mann....

Got some more Mama?

Sorry..Finish licin my dear...U ate it all... - Mama-

Please make that 'food from heaven' some more for dinner ok, Mama

Alhamdulillah, he took it well. Very well in fact.. Habis licin satu mangkuk kot! Not bad for a 5.5 months old baby huh?

So k lah, Sekian sahaja laporan utk hari ini..

Btw, don't forget to pray for our brothers and sisters in Syria, Egypt & Palestine, okay! 
 

Wassalam. Bye! 

Loads of love,

Kalau Aku Tiba-tiba Jadi Kaya...

Assalamualaikum...

Sangap!! 4 chapters done, 2 more to go.. Orang lain buat correction kejap je, entah mengapa puan Farahiyah Jasni ni lama betul nak siapnya..! Banyak main, itu lah jadinya.. Huhuhuhu..

Korang pernah terfikir kalau tetiba korang dapat duit sedebuk depan mata, nak buat apa?

Kalau aku tetibe jadi kaya kan, aku nak beli ni...

1. 

Halford : Zuzz 4 Baby stroller

Sebab aku kesian dengan Faris, si baby debab aku tu naik stroller Fatin yg dah agak uzur. Pulak tu member berbadan semangat jitu, oleh itu, kadang-kadang roda pun dah mengeluarkan bunyi keruek-kruek tanda betapa seksanya dia nak tanggung weight anak aku tu..Hahaha... Inilah nasib 2nd child, selalu dapat barang terpakai....
Aku pilih Halford Zuzz 4 sebab aku rasa harga reasonable as compared to Quinny Zapp and design lebih stylish *sket la* daripada Maclaren.. Mengikut pandangan mata saya yg agak katak di bawah tempurung bab-bab brand ni ye... Hihihihi

2.

Sony Xperia SP smart phone

 

Smart kan? Smart kan? Aku dengan enche suami berangan nak beli phone ni suatu hari bila kiterang dapat rezeki melimpah ruah dari langit.. Hahaha.. Abang warna hitam, B warna putih.. Sehati sejiwa gitu.. *gediks tahap max.. Nyampah! Hahaha*

Sebab pilih yg ni, sebab enche suami kata phone ni spec dia best.. Boleh? Tak ada pendirian diri sungguh mu ni Farahiyah! And I just need a slightly more sophisticated phone than the one that I own now.. That's all.. Phone sekarang, Alhamdulillah, masih works well, at least boleh la acts as a smart phone (secara basic..). Tapi bila join whatsapp group yg ramai members and banyak conversation, dia pun mula lah nak hang.. Tak kasik can langsung! 

Plus, phone skang tak dak instagram!! Dan aku rasa sungguh ketinggalan zaman sebab tak ada Instagram.. Mama aku pun ada account Instagram! Tapi, entah kenapa rasa ketinggalan pun tak tau.. Bukannya ada siaran berita dunia ke hape kat Instagram tu... Hihihihi...

3.

Avent 2-in-1 steamer and blender

Ini adalah steamer dan blender dalam satu device. Canggih bukan? Mendalah ini adalah untuk memudahkan proses membuat makanan bayi.. Mula-mula kita steam the raw material, such as carrot, apple or whatsoever, then kita terus blend.. Best kan?

Memandangkan Faris dah hampir 6 bulan dan memang dah ready sangat for solid, since dia selalu tenung makanan yg kami makan macam nak telan je dengan sudu-sudu sekali, siap dengan efek air liur meleleh, jadi, si mama ni dah fikir-fikir penyediaan suitable solid food for him. Tetiba terjumpa device ni.. Wallaweii.., kagum seyy.. Senang je.. Terbalik-balikkan je...

Tetapi melihatkan harganya, iaitu 300++, si mama terus merasakan macam not worth it je.. Sebab nak pakai steamer bukan lama sangat. Nanti dah start porridge, tak ada nak steam pun. Lagipun steamer yg ada jadi hiasan dalam kitchen cabinet tu nak buat apa?? Jadi adalah lebih save kalau mama beli new blender je, khas for Faris' food..Lebih jimat.. Tapi ini kisah kalau aku miskin macam sekarang, kalau aku kaya, setakat tiga ratus macam duit jajan je, memang aku angkat mendalah ni.. Confirm! Hehehe...

4.

Korang tau ni apa? Ini adalah rak kasut! Ha...apa ke jadahnya papa kedana sangat urs truly korang ni sampai rak kasut pun kena tunggu rezeki dari langit?? Hahahahaha.. Sekarang kami tak ada rak kasut proper.. Dan kami berangan nak beli rak kasut yg bertutup, so that our house will look neat and tidy from outside.. Sekarang letak kasut dalam open rack, and agak kecil utk capacity kasut kami 4 beranak *macamlah si baby tu pakai kasut beriya..ahaks..*, jadi, macam serabut sket lah.. Walaubagaimanapun, memandangkan aku tengah cerita kalau aku kaya, jadi aku nak angkat rak kasut canggih macam gambar ni.. Boleh pusing-pusing-pusing, tarik-tarik.. Bahagian yg kanan tu leh simpan payung ke, helmet ke, jacket enche suami ke.. Nice kan?


Sebenarnya banyak benda lagi nak beli kalau kaya..

Tengok tu, ada ke ingat nak bagi sedekah juta-juta kat anak yatim ke, tabung palestine ke, syria ke, egypt ke.. Kann??

Sebab tu agaknya Tuhan bagi aku rezeki cukup-cukup untuk kami anak beranak.. Alhamdulillah.. Kalau tidak, tah hape-hape yang dibelinya..

K lah.. good day u'ols... :)

Loads of love,

Pillow Talk

Assalamualaikum,

Ooppss, title hari ni macam panas-panas gitu.. Don't worry, the content is safe to be read by semua peringkat..

Since we have Faris in our life, I somehow feel there's distance between me and Enche Suami. Bukanlah distance literally, I mean, macam jarang nak sembang about you and me, about us.. *wahh..,gitu..*. 

Ye lah, now that we've got more responsibility, I'm busy with my work, so does he. And we have 2 children to take care of, a house to be managed and macam-macam lagi.. So there's not much time to talk about each other. Most of the conversation, is about Fatin & Faris, about financial stuff, household and things like that. Macam susah sangat nak talk about 'how was your day?' kind of stuff..

Pulak tu, our workplace jauh-jauh.. Enche suami kat PJ sana, I dekat Gombak.. So nak buat lunch date pun macam susah la.. My parents, when both of them were still working, selalu buat lunch date. Ayah came to Mama's office to pick her up, then they went lunch together. Masa tu lah they had their 'you-and-me talk' kot.. At least,once a week la.. In my case, tak seswai, sebab jauh.. Habis masa on the road je.. Lunch nya kejap,pastu dah rushing balik tempat kerja masing-masing.. Huhuhuhu..

I guess *and I hope* it is normal when we have new member in the family. We need time to adjust and of course the priority is on the responsibility. Kan? Serabut kot, dengan baby, dengan very-talkative-and-attention-seeker girl,rumah and etc..Rasanya masa mula-mula dapat Fatin dulu pun ada go through the same situation. But,things were back to normal as Fatin grew up..  Sedar tak sedar,macam ok balik..

Despite the acceptable reasons of this situation, I do think, if it's possible, then it is better to find the solution asap. Otherwise, bahaya jugak kalau kita tak tau apa masalah spouse, kita kurang perhatian dengan hidup dia, tetibe tau-tau dah ada cawangan pulak! Ehhh......ke situ pulak peginya eh?? Hahahaha...
*Enche suami, bukan I su'u dzan ye...I tengah discussing the issue..Jangan marah.. I lap u..Hahaha..*

Tu yang terjumpa pasal pillow talk ni.. For me, pillow talk does not necessarily ended up with, you know, 'ehem-ehem' *parental advise statement! Hahaha...* 

It can just be an HONEST conversation between a husband & wife to tighten the bond. Sambil baring-baring sebelum tidur *of course selepas anak-anak dah tidur lah! Kalau anak-anak tak tidur lagi, maka diorang lah yang menyibuk kat tengah-tengah...Hahaha..*, talk about how was ur class today ke, correction ok ke, makan apa ke... Sounds simple, but personal.. Just a story about you and me.. Wrap it up with bermaaf-maafan session, a goodnite kiss maybe,then tidur..  *hanya utk suami isteri yang sah ye! Sila tahu...*

Tak banyak, sikit pun ok.. At least, kita tahu apa yg terjadi dengan hidup pasangan kita hari tu..,apa masalah dia hari tu..Kan?

Well, guess we should implement this, kan Enche Suami? Haha.. Anyway, one might think that I mengada post things like this dekat blog.. Propose directly dekat Enche Suami lah, kenapa tulis dekat blog.. Memang I akan propose dekat husband *in case dia tak baca post ini lah..hahaha*, tetapi tujuan utama I post dekat blog adalah utk share the concept.. Kot-kot ada yang mengalami masalah yg sama, maka boleh sama-sama take this alternative as an option.. Kalau mau la, kalau ada solution yg lebih gempak, share lah jugak.. Boleh urs truly consider jugak.. Sharing kan caring... hihi..

So k lah... Happy Thursday semua!! 

Wassalam...

Loads of love,

Educare students..

Now, this girl is the only Educare student in our home

Soon,

InsyaAllah...

Alhamdulillah, Faris has been offered to enroll to Educare this coming September..

Offer letter yg dinanti-nanti..

I'm excited, at the same time, I'm worried *I'm a mother! that's what I do best..worrying! ;p*

Alhamdulillah, Faris teacher-to-be was Fatin's teacher when she first entered Educare back in 2010. Teacher Murni... I knew her, and I trust her to take care of my kids. The other 2 teachers, tak sure lagi siapa. But I'm sure they are good people and will take care of my baby like their own. 

In fact, all of the teachers are trained, and this center is recognized by Jabatan Kebajikan Malaysia, and it's a breastfeeding-friendly daycare center.  The teachers are trained to handle expressed breast milk and feed breastfed baby.

Sebab itu lah si Mama *and I percaya ramai mama2 yg lain* ini sanggup tunggu berbulan-bulan nak masukkan jugak Faris dekat Educare sama dengan Fatin. Haha.. Desperado sungguh..

BUT, through experience, they are risk that Faris will be exposed to various kinds of contagious disease. Yg common, selsema, batuk... Yg agak dasyat, chicken pox, diarrhea and HFMD. So, I have to be ready of the endless episodes of selsema & batuk.. Anyway, I'm praying hard that my lil boy is much tougher that her sister and tak kena jangkit langsung! Boleh? Hahaha... And I'm planning to start giving him Scott Emulsion, tapi setelah meng'google', there's no dosage guidance for infant below 12months. Therefore, that plan had to wait... Nanti Faris dah setahun, boleh la start bagi..

So, ok.. Doakan Faris happy & enjoy his time at Educare. Harap-harap semuanya baik-baik sahaja.. Amin..

So, happy schooling adik Faris!

My 5months lil boy. He's 7.8kg and 67cm long now.. Faris tengah buat breakdance..Hahahaha

 



 

Nawaitu

Luruskan niat.dalam apa jua yg mahu dilakukan,luruskan niat.kalau diniatkan ibadah,kerana Allah,insyaALLAH,yg susah menjadi mudah,yg sempit menjadi luas,yg gelap menjadi terang..bukan kerana perkara itu jadi lebih mudah,luas atau terang bila niat kerana Allah,tp kerana hati lebih redha,tenang dan tabah menghadapi cubaan.

termenung memuhasabah diri,jadi terfikir,mungkin inilah silapnya..niatku sasar,terlalu mengharap duniawi,walaupun perjuanganku,menuntut ilmu,adalah sesuatu yg disukai Tuhan..perjalanan masih jauh.byk yg perlu aku perbetulkan.aku mahu mulakan,dgn perubahan di hati,niatku.
ya allah,tuhan yg membolakbalik hati,pelihara nawaitu,agar sntiasa menjurus pd redha Mu..

Mari,kita perbetulkan niat. Bismillah...
