Always be my star..

Assalamualaikum,

Soon, Educare will be organizing a sport's day. And during the sports' day, there will be a performance by a group of selected 3-4 years old students. Since last year, watching the kids performing, dancing so cute, I already put a hope that my baby girl will be one of them,performing, for this year's event.

So the time has come, sport's day is around the corner, they have started practicing since early of August. They *the teachers* will select the best out of all of 3-4 years students to join the performance group. I was nervous honestly, wondering whether my baby will be in..

Yesterday, I just got to know, Fatin is not selected to join the group.. I'm not going to lie, I am frustrated. But I think I know why.. I saw her practicing the other day, and from her expression, I knew, she didn't enjoy it. She was not giving attention of what teachers do when the teachers taught the dance step. She even made 'I-don't-want-to-do-this' face...

Hmmmm.......

Honestly, I am surprised. And worried. Why she didn't enjoy doing that at school, whilst she is sooo good at performing at home. She enjoys singing, dancing even acting *as mickey mouse, sometimes, team umizoomie and etc*.. At home, she is a happy, smart *from her mother's perspective lah..ahaks..* girl! But at school, she's the contrary!

Enche Suami and I talked about this yesterday. And how frustrated I am. And we came into conclusion, guess, it's just not her time to shine yet and that is not her stage! Maybe, as for the time being, her performance is just for exclusive audiences. And they are us, her family..

As long as we know, that her development is on par with her age, then nothing to worry.. She is just a lil bit shy with strangers. And her resistance showing her true self towards strangers is high, so that explains her behavior at school...  

And we *parents of Fatin & Faris* also decided, InsyaAllah, we'll try our best not to set standards for our children. You must achieve this, you must be selected into that and what so ever. From our point of view, that will only adding the tension and affect their development..

But, InsyaAllah, to ensure they have a good life later, maybe we can guide them to set their own target. And make them understand, the importance of having a good target. Giving them options and let them decide. Encouragement and endless support for them to reach their target..InsyaAllah..

So, it's ok Fatin! *Err..I think, 'it's ok Mama Fatin' is more appropriate actually.. Sebab Fatin tak ada perasaan pun tak terpilih, mama yg terlebih frust! Muahahaha..*

Mama nak Fatin tahu, yang Mama berbangga dengan Fatin every single day in your life since you were born! It's ok if you're not selected to be one of the stars, coz in my heart, you are always a star! I love you mucho mucho my baby girl!

Paling comel di hati ku.....

*I owe myself (sebab aku yg sendiri nak coret memori) a post about Faris' 1st day at school.. Tapi I decided to write on Fatin's story first, sbb rasa dah lama tak cerita pasal my lil princess yg ala-ala diva (di rumah sahaja,sila tahu!) itu..Hihihi..* 

Loads of love,

Breastfeeding journey,season 2...

Assalamualaikum sisters n brothers,

Alhamdulillah, we survived from haze! Hahaha... It was rili terrible and uncomfortable here in Gombak during the haze attack last few weeks. Paling kesian dengan kids and babies lah. Even kita orang tua pun rasa macam sesak nak bernafas, apatah lagi diorang! Anyway, Alhamdulillah, Allah had saved us all from that..

Actually, I'm just done doing my presentation slides for conference tomorrow. I'll be presenting my paper on that conference, InsyaAllah. Actually, start hari ni, tetapi, saya yang pemalas ini malas nak join today's sessions. So I'll join tomorrow's session je lah! Plus, tomorrow ada invited keynote speakers from University of Nevada, Las Vegas and University of Melbourne. My current SV advised me to go and meet them. Mana tahu leh jadi potential SV for PhD.. *wink, wink*

Ok, masih tak masuk tajuk lagi.. Camana nak get rid of this not -straight-to-the-point habit ni eh? Camano nak jadik lecturer ni, cerita pusing sana,pusing sini.. Huhuhuhu..

SEBENARNYA, I nak cerita pasal breastfeeding. Season 2 sebab this is my 2nd time. Alhamdulillah, I managed to breastfeed Fatin for 2years ++. She weaned off totally when I was pregnant for Faris. Maybe susu dah rasa tak sedap, or probably there's no milk at all.. Haha..

So far, Faris is still exclusively breastfed. No additional food or drinks. Totally breast milk. And InsyaAllah, I'm planning to stick to that until he is 6months old or until he is ready for solid. 

Breastfeeding wise, generally, is more or less similar to Fatin's time. But Fatin was a bit lucky that I only left her for classes when she was almost 6months. And most of the time, she was with me, so I can just direct fed anytime she needed it.  And I guess I started to actively pumping and storing EBM only when she started to go to Educare. She was already 9months old at that time. 

To be honest, pumping and storing wise, I was not really successful. Ibaratnya macam kais pagi,makan pagi, kais petang makan petang lah! I pumped for the next day supply. At first, macam survived lagi, since during that time Fatin rejected feeding via bottle! So milk consumption was not that much. But, after I changed her bottle to different brand, then she started to consume more milk, I dah start sesak nafas dah nak mencukupkan stock. Hihihi.. 

Akhirnya, when she was 1 year and 3 months old (if I'm not mistaken), I already supplied formula for her at school. When she was at home, I direct fed je lah.. Sedih sangat masa tu.. Rasa macam loser je sebab tak mampu nak supply only breast milk to my daughter! However, I pasrah je lah, sebab my priority at that time was my child's well being. Rather than she got insufficient nutrition, then lebih baik bagi je formula..

BUT, this time around, I am determined to try my best to give Faris breast milk as long as I can. In fact, I started to store EBM quite early. Masa dalam pantang dah store dah. Maybe it's easier for me to discipline myself this time since I start to leave him with nanny quite early (3months old). And so far, I stick to my 3 times pumping session at office, from 930am to 415pm. Alhamdulillah, so far, I managed to get almost 20oz a day from that 3 sessions.
 
I guess, the most important thing in breastfeeding and pumping is the mind set. Kalau kita set it is burdening and hard to do, then jadi susah lah. As for me, I'm blessed with so many facilities that are breast-pumping friendly. Individual office, sink just a few steps from my office, convenient pump (am pumping while typing this ;p ) and of course great health, Alhamdulillah! So I have no reason actually not to pump. Kalau malas jugak, memang nak kena ketuk lah. Kufur nikmat namanya! Huhuhu... Ada orang yang tak bernasib baik, Allah tak bagi rezeki menyusukan anak sebab tak sihat, tak ada susu and etc. Jadi sila ingat Pn Farahiyah, you are so blessed to be able to do that, so jangan sia-siakan! DISCIPLINE!

InsyaAllah... Hopefully, for this 2nd season, my breastfeeding journey will be better, longer and efficient! Amin.. Oh ya, I'm also determined to take supplement every day so that the milk produced will be healthier and rich with nutrition.. Hehe.. 

Wish me luck ok! And to all mommies who's currently breastfeeding and storing EBM for your child, all the best! Let's all GANBATTE together ok! Hehe..

 

Loads of love,

Depressed...

Assalam y'ols...

How are y'ols doing? I wish y'ols are in great shape, Amin..

Honestly, I'm in depression.. Major factor, "STUDIES".. Tho, some small small things might add up the level of depression, but still, the main reason is study.. 

Semua benda jadi serba tak kena.. Everything went wrong.. Allah hu akbar...

So these few weeks, I was busy looking around things that might, y'know.., reduce the level of depression that I'm suffering.. Kang kena hypertension pulak! Anak baru satu...

But pusing punya pusing, tak jumpa lah! Nak shopping *people said it usually works, especially for women.. ahaks...*, cannot... now got no extra money maa.. need to spend wisely! So shopping, pangkah!

Holiday? Again...no.. Requires budget as well... Lagipun, enche suami susah nak cuti.. Pangkah juga..

I tried spend some time watching movies lah, pi sana lah, pi sini lah.. Ended up I wasting my time looking for the things that can help me release my stress, and yet stress is still there! Malah bertambah-tambah lagi sebab time is running out..

One sweet day, I terpanggil to recite Al-Ma'thurat.. Dah lama I tak amalkan.. *TERUK LA MUNG NI FARAH!!!*.. I always let 'it's hard to find time' as excuse! But actually masa tuh ada, I yang pemalas! Huhuhu...

Oh..back to Al-Ma'thurat.. At the end of the ma'thurat, there is one du'a.. When I recited the translation of the du'a, I stunned and broke into tears.. Subhanallah.... Just the right du'a and the right phrases that I needed most...

Here goes some of the translation that made me fell into tears:

Ya Allah, kurniakan kami cara hidup yang jitu dan unggul, selamat dari mala petaka. 

Kami mohon kecukupan yang tidak sampai kami terpaksa meminta jasa orang lain..

Berikan kami iman yang sebenarnya sehingga kami tidak lagi gentar atau mengharap orang lain selain daripada Engkau, atau menyembah selain daripada Engkau..

Kembangkanlah lembayung rahmat-Mu kepada kami, keluarga dan anak-anak kami, serta siapa sahaja yang bersama kami..

Jangan Engkau biarkan nasib kami ditentukan oleh diri kami sendiri, walau sekelip mata sekalipun, walau sekadar masa yang lebih pendek dari itu..

Wahai Tuhan yang paling mudah dan cepat memperkenankan pinta...

Pusing sana sini mencari ketenangan, sebenarnya ketenangan itu datangnya bila kita bergantung dengan Allah... Susah payah mencari tempat untuk mengadu, sebenarnya, kita hanya perlu menadah tangan dan mengadu pada Allah ta'ala... And kita selalu tak perasan, sebenarnya, tiap kali kita angkat takbir, 'Allah hu akbar' dan mula solat, kita dah berdoa dah... 

'Iyya kana' budu wa iyya kanastain' (AlFatihah, verse 5)

Kepada Engkau kami menyembah dan kepada Engkau kami memohon pertolongan..

Allah hu akbar.. Kenapalah leka dan negligence sangat selama ni? 

True, the problem won't solve in a blink without effort from us.. But at least, if we can do work with peaceful heart and mind, InsyaAllah, things will be easier to solve.. InsyaAllah.. 

'Ya Allah, aku menadah tangan dengan penuh rasa kehambaan, memohon petunjuk dan pertolongan daripada Mu yang Maha Kuasa.. Bantulah aku harungi kesusahan dan kemelut ini.. Engkau lah Tuhan, Engkau lah Maha Pembantu dan Engkaulah tempat aku mengharap...'

Cerita keluar topik : One night, mama was sad. So mama cried. And Fatin Amani was there, seeing her Mama cried like a child. She came closer to her Mama, wiped Mama's tears and said, "Mama..nanan nanesh tau.." (translate : Mama, jangan nangis tau). Mama smiled, but tears pouring down even heavily.. Mama was touched, that this small little creature now understands that Mama is sad and even try to console her Mama not to cry.. Thank you Allah, for giving me this little thing to cheer me up... Fatin Amani, Mama love you sooooo much.....

Cuti-cuti Malaysia...

Assalam u'ols....

Hi! How are u'ols doing today?

Alhamdulillah, I'm gooood..Fresh and thrilled.

A short update from me... Just got back from our short Cuti-cuti Malaysia trip with Dyana's and family..

The 'cuti secara berjemaah' yang dinanti-nanti...!!

Hahaha...

We went to Pulau Langkawi for 3days 2 nights trip..

It was fun though a bit tiring.. Coz we were soo excited being there, tak nak rugi kan masa lepak-lepak di hotel.. So we filled out the days with activities.. Wakakaka...

What's interesting about this trip? These are:

• Enche Suami and Fatin Amani had their first experience travelling by plane.. *tho si kecil tak paham menda pon apa yang berlaku.. Hahaha... Of cos sang bapa sangat excited.. Kasik can la.. Hehehehe..*
• The first holiday trip with friends since we got married. And it was more merrier dengan kehadiran anak-anak! Best woo... *In fact sangat best that we already plan and start saving for our next 'cuti secara berjemaah'.. Yipppaa.... !!*

Here goes some pictures of the trip....

"Kenapa aircond kat atas pulak ni!"

Peace.. Gaya cool. Dalam hati "O.M.G, I'm FLYINGGGG!!" ;p

The girls... @ Pekan Kuah..

Cubaan bermesra

View from the chalet.. Oh,plz ignore lelaki bertubuh langsing itu... Walkakaka

Setting up his "DSLR"

Ehem...

During the boat trip.. Hana was scared... Huhuhu

And this girl, as usual...'Tak ada perasaan'

At the Underwater World.. Enjoy seeing the penguins.

Swimminggg

At the airport.. Fatin said, "Let me tell you a secret hana. When mama give you biscuits, that means she wants to keep you busy and stop disturbing her.."

Bye-bye Langkawi...

"Mama, plz tell Ayah to stop snapping pictures.. Udah-udah la tu..."

Ok... Till next time.. Wassalam.. Bye..

  Loads of love,

No..No..No..Marah-marah...

Assalam u'ols..

FYI, since last week, I set my mind that this week, after a loooonggg holiday for CNY + holiday that me myself created *ahakss...*, I will work hard and focus on my research starting from today.. However, my mind is berserabut memikirkan attitude anakanda..

Some says, once ur child entering 2 years old, then u have to prepare mental and physical to nurture them, because this is the most challenging period in bringing up the child.. It's called "Terrible TWO phase". I dunno whether this is true.. But somehow, looking at my baby's attitude, I guess I'm starting to believe it... 

U'ols know what, Fatin Amani is soooo good in portraying her feeling now. And hot-tempered too! Masa cuti nih pulak baru nampak... Hentak-hentak kaki, merajuk, and lately, 'babab' orang bila tak bagi apa dia nak..

Yesterday morning, we went for breakfast.. We brought together her bicycle and put her on it. When we reached the kedai, she refused to get up.. She still wanted to play with her bicycle. So I took her up from her bicycle sambil-sambil pujuk la. She was crying *obviously*, but suddenly, she started to beat me. Memang lah tak sakit pun, but before this, she never did that!! 

Then this morning, I sent her to school. Probably because of too long of holiday, she didn't want to be left there. So the teacher hold her from running towards me la.. Then she did it again.. Slapping her teacher! I was like, WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY BABY??? Kenapa jadi garang sangat macam ni??

Adoi.... Now, I got headache!

We never did that to her! Pernah la marah dia, kalau dia degil sangat, but tak pernah pukul dia out of anger macam nak lepas geram macam tuh...  

Ya Allah..., sungguh susah hati....

Is this the 'terrible TWO phase' that they are talking  about...?? Huhuhu..

But anyway, I googled some du'a that WE * Enche suami, we means BOTH OF US.. PLZ TAKE NOTE!* can practice untuk lembutkan hati dan jauhkan dari sifat panas baran...

surah Al-Anbiya, (ayat 69) 

"Qulna Ya Nar  ku ni bardan wa salaman 'ala Ibrahim.."

Kami berfirman: "Hai api menjadi dinginlah, dan menjadi keselamatanlah bagi Ibrahim",

atau Al-Hasyar (ayat 22-24).

Dialah Allah yang tiada Tuhan selain Dia, yang mengetahui yang ghaib dan yang nyata, Dia-lah yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Penyayang.

Dialah Allah yang tiada Tuhan selain Dia, raja, yang Maha suci, yang Maha Sejahtera, yang Mengaruniakan Keamanan, yang Maha Memelihara, yang Maha Perkasa, yang Maha Kuasa, yang memiliki segala Keagungan, Maha Suci Allah dari apa yang mereka persekutukan.

Dialah Allah yang Menciptakan, yang Mengadakan, yang membentuk Rupa, yang mempunyai asmaaul Husna. bertasbih kepadanya apa yang di langit dan bumi. dan dialah yang Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Bijaksana.

Fatin Amani,  no..no..no marah-marah ok?? Not good...

Not a boss, but a friend..

Assalamualaikum u'ols...

Hey u'ols... Check this out.. Very-very useful parenting tips by Wardina *love her, love her!*

One thing that I learnt from this video is, the most powerful tool to be a good parent is COMMUNICATION... A parent should be a friend or companion to their child. Not a boss.. And we have to cultivate that bonding at their very young age.

Reduce this:

• "Pegi mandi!"
• "Siapkan homework"
• "Solat!!!!!"  *dengan suara yang nyaring sekali macam nak suruh pergi perang.. Sungguh annoying*
• "Makan, sekarang!"

Instead, say this:

•  "Dah petang ni sayang, waktu untuk mandi... Kalau kotor, kuman banyak.. Not good!"
• "Hari ni belajar apa kat sekolah? Ada homework tak? Jom kita buat homework.."
• "Ha...dah azan.. Waktu untuk solat! Jom..."

Something like that la.. This is my humble opinion la, if the children already regard the parents as their boss *or someone who only know to give orders!*, asik suruh itu ini, asik kena ikut arahan, once they are older, and they think they are big enough to handle life, and they are in control, at that moment, they will finally decide to stop listening to you at all *nighmare!!*... 

Kalau jenis dengar telinga kanan, keluar telinga kiri tak apa lagi, kalau jenis melawan pulak? Dengan kasar pulak tu...  *like how you usually do when you give orders to them when they were younger... Hey, what goes around comes around kan!*

Hish, Naudzubillah hi min zalik.. I hope it won't happen to any of us ya... Amin... 

And yup, I agree, we have to talk to our child a lot.. So that anak akan rasa comfortable bercerita dengan kita about anything! Indirectly, we can know their well-being. Apa benda baik diorang buat, and apa benda tak baik diorang buat on that day.. 

Oleh itu, saya bertekad untuk bercakap dengan Fatin dengan lebih kerap after this. *Eventho as for now, Mama is having difficult time to understand what is she trying to say and finally end up angguk-angguk dengan muka blur.. Haih.... Kesian anak mama... *

And I want to spend more quality time with her.. Alhamdulillah, for the time being, memang I yang send her to and take her from Educare.. So kena make sure that golden time is used properly. 

Plus, instead of shouting at her if she did something wrong, I'll advise her and explain to her why she can't do that..Kalau nak marah pun, I won't say, "Budak degil" or something bad, instead, I'll say, "Fatin anak yang baik! Tak boleh buat macam ni!"...

So, mari mama-mama, mommy-mommy, ibu-ibu, mak-mak sume.., kita didik anak kita dengan cara yang betul.. Coz they are our amanah given by Allah for us to take care of... :)

Amanah mama & Ayah.. Jadi anak yang solehah ye, Fatin Amani.. We love you..

Wassalam..

time flies....

Assalamualaikum......

Hi u'ols!!!! Feel like ages since I last visit this blog... Sorry dude for abandoning you for so long! Jangan merajuk ok!

Hey, it's December already!!! How time flies! Did u'ols noticed? Time flies really fast now.. It's a sign that we are nearer and nearer to Qiamah soon.. Huhuhu.. May Allah place us all with the righteous. Amin.....

Ok, actually, there's a lotttt to update. But, it just typical me that malas nak karang ayat and update blog. No one other than me la yang at loss here.. Hehe.. Because my intention to create this blog at the 1st place is to make it sort of memory lane where I jot down everything interesting happening in my life.. So later when I grow old, leh la baca-baca balik, and laugh..

First to update, bout my lovely budak kicik, Fatin Amani. Guess some of you might already know *thru my FB* that last few weeks, Fatin was admitted to hospital due to her prolonged cough and flu. Guess I mentioned before that she is frequently attacked by cough and flu. Bila dah kena tuh, lama baru nak baik. One good reason for it is she stays at nursery. Every pediatrician that I met agree with that. So her body doesn't have enough time to recover before kena attack balik. Ye lah, dia dah baik, ada budak berhingus, main sama-sama, balik rumah, anak I pun berhingus balik.. Pusing-pusing cam gitu lah..

But that day, it was on Wednesday, someone from Educare called me and told me that Fatin was having a very high fever. The temp was 38.7 degree Celsius. Hah.., I pon apa lagi, tak cukup tangan kemas barang-barang and straight away went to fetch her and went back home.

Alamak!! Anak dara I dah bangun pule... Nanti I sambung lagi....

Loads of love,

Bad Mama... :(

Assalamualaikum u'olls..

Monday blues tak? *Now it's appropriate to use the term 'blues' after a day..Haha*

My Monday *at least the starting of the day* was sooo tak best. Feel like I'm a bad Mama.. :(

This morning, I was so enthusiastic to send off my daughter to Educare a bit early than usual because I just got to know from my friend, Pn Nurul Izzah, that the breakfast time for Fatin's new class started at 830 am. Having a very good intention which is to train my baby to have breakfast together with her friends, so lebih meriah la, I nekad to send her early. 

So I skipped her breakfast session with me and her Ayah like we use to do every single morning. But, to make it 830am to be there, memang agak impossible la kan? *err...for me maybe.. Yours truly ni kan pot-pot (translate = clumsy) and lembab*. So, I left house around 855am and arrived Educare around 905am. Was hoping that there were still some food left for my baby.. 

Unfortunately, when I asked the teacher bout the breakfast, teacher said, there's no more food left for breakfast. Tepuk dahi! Alamak! 

Breakfast starts sharp at 830am. So, for those who is late, memang tak ada la. I thought kalau lewat dalam half an hour gitu, ada la lagi harapan kan.. Like in the previous class (Magnolia & Canangium), the rules are a lil bit linnean. Sometimes, I reached there at 10am, yet Fatin still have not had her breakfast *teruknya kan!! hehe*, I just need to inform her teachers that she still haven't had her breakfast and they will feed her. But this time around, that rule is no longer applicable. Guess they want to train the children to eat at proper time. Which is good!  *problem is Mama yg tak berdisiplin! Haih....*

But, pity my baby today, no breakfast for her.. Huhuhu.. Sorry sayang, it was Mama's fault that you missed your breakfast today! :(  Luckily it is kind of routine already that I prepare a box of Cornflakes in the car so that Fatin can kudap-kudap while she's in the car. And this morning, I brought a Kellogs Cornflake Bar. So I went back to the car and took the Cornflakes bar and passed it to the teacher. At least she can have that for alas perut while waiting for lunch at 11am.. Huhuhuhu... Still, rasa bersalah!! Sorry honey...

Fatin's breakfast for today

I'm sorry sayang!

Taking this incident as a lesson, I decided to send Fatin at 915am every morning. So that we can have a nice breakfast together beforehand. So Fatin is ready for the activities when she reaches school. Tak apalah tak dapat beramah-mesra with friends while having breakfast *which was my niat murni asalnya!Huhu*.. I need to be realistic! Coz to be there at 830am, hmm, I don't think I can do that for now.. Maybe later, InsyaAllah.. Furthermore, I tak sampai hati nak hantar Fatin too early in the morning! hehehe...

Whatever it is, the routine has to change! More discipline and need to improve my time management! Ganbatte neh, Farah!

That's all for now! *eventho, I actually wanna tell bout something else.. Nanti la ye! Wakaka..*

Till next time u'olls.. Wassalam!

  Loads of love,

Magnolia, Canangium, Hibiscus..

Assalamualaikum u'olls..

Morning! How are u'olls today? Hoping that u'olls are in great shape, InsyaAllah..

Magnolia

Canangium

Hibiscus

Guess why I put up the photos of different flowers up here? Cer teka..cer teka.. Hehe..

Tak tau? Givup? Givup? *remind me of my childhood days.. Hate it when my sister forced me to say 'givup' if I didn't know the answer for the riddles that she gave before she told me the correct answer!*

Actually, the pictures are the name of the flowers that my daughter's classes are named of.. *macam tunggang terbalik ayat ni.. Tapi den maleh nak betolkan.. So, bear wif me la ek! Ahaks..*

On her first day in Educare back in Dec 2011, she was placed in Magnolia class. Then in June 2011, she was transferred to Canangium class. Today, she is again transferred to Hibiscus class.. Alhamdulillah..

This morning, I sent her to her new class. Anak mama dah besar.. She didn't cry pon when her new teacher took her.. Class arrangement pon is a bit different as compared to last 2 classes. More toys and there is small desk in the corner. 

And I was briefed that there will be more activities for the children. Sleeping time is only once in a day. Before this, twice a day.. Hmm.., hopefully, it'll be easier to get her fall asleep at night since she only sleeps once at school.. Hahaha...

Then, they will be trained to eat by themselves. Siap la mama menyental baju berlemuih dengan makanan lepas nih.. Hahaha.. Actually kat rumah dah train jugak makan and minum sendiri.. Memang sepah la.. What do you expect kan, 18months toddler makan, confirm la 'pupah' (translate = tumpah) .Pandai lak tuh ngadu kalau dia tumpah kan food or drinks, 

"Mama..pupah, pupah!".. 

Kalau kita tanya balik, "Tumpah.. Sapa buat?". 

Dengan confidentnya dia jawab, "Ayah.. Babab Ayah!". 

Kasihan Ayah.. Tiba-tiba jadi scape-goat pule.. Wakakaka...

Lepas tuh satu kerja lak la nak mengemas, but, it's ok la, for her growth, Mama & Ayah rela! *Ecececeh... Sebbaik Enche Suami I dengan cik penyapu kawan baik... Ngeee...*

But actually, i risau jugak with her 'manja terlebih' and 'ngada-ngada' attitude ni! Almaklumlah, now all the attentions directs to her.. Mengada-ngada la.. 

Yesterday, I was cooking when she came and asked me to 'addu' her (translate = dukung) *don't ask me why it becomes 'addu', ask her! She's the one who created the term..Hehe*, I refused. Ye lah.. I'm worried kang terkena minyak ke hape kan.. Then, she started to cry and suddenly went to the wall and hugged the wall, while crying.. I was like.., "Heh, mana pulak dia belajar peluk-peluk tiang macam hindustan neh??"

Tepuk dahi.. Anakanda...Oh anakanda..

So k lah.. Guess it wud be all for today.. Back to work! Hehehe.. Kena merajinkan diri! Kalau diikutkan perangai malas I neh, sampai ke sudah kerja tak settle.. Haha!

My flower and her favorite bear-bear...

Till next time u'olls.. Have a good day, Amin!

Wassalam..

 Loads of love, 

* Farah Jasni*

Tidur La Sayang...

As salam u'olls!!

Hah, dah terlebih rajin pulak Farahiyah Jasni nih! Siang tadi dah post an entry, tonite ada lagi satu plak! Hahaha.. *Jangan tegur.. Masa tengah ada idea ni, biorkan le... Ahaks..*

Actually just nak share problem that I am facing quite recently with my baby.. I dunno why *and don't understand why..* it is soooo hard to get her to sleep at night now... Hadoi.. Berperang ok?? Bila sampai malam je, usually after dinner, dia mula lah buat perangai tak mau duduk dalam bilik. If we are at outside of our room, she refuses to get into the room.. If we are inside the room, she will try her best to get me or anyone lah to bring her out! Eventho mata dia dah berair and merah mengantuk! 

Nih tadi ni, dia menangis berlagu-lagu nak keluar dari bilik! "Jom ma...Jom ma" katanya! Pujuk la macam-macam. Offer 'didi' (translate =  'nenen' = bf) *oh btw, she was the one who created the term.. Tah mana datang, I pon tatau! Hihi* pon tak mau! 

Menguji kesabaran jugak lah.. As if she sleeps now, there will be no tomorrow! Macam esok-esok tadak nak main.. Hehehe.. I dunno lah kalau memang at this old, kids will behave like that.. Experienced mama, please share ye.. Hehehe..

Oh btw, Fatin Amani is going to be 19months end of this month.. Huhuhu.. Jap je masa berlalu.. Dah besar dah anak mama.. Sat gi nak wean dah.. Immunization jabs pon dah complete dah for now.. Dah sekolah nanti pulak baru ada balik.. 

Alhamdulillah, syukur, she's healthy, and active so far and am hoping she will always be. And getting smarter and banyak perangai too! And talkative too *eventho pelat and sometimes only she and GOD understands what is she mumbling*.. Hehe..

Always be my baby.... Mmuuaahhh

So k lah for tonite.. Till next time.. Bye u'olls...

Wassalam..

Note out of topic: Gagal sekali lagi beli KFC guna CIMB Treats Point hari nih.. It was my 2nd attempt. This time around, the credit card machine lak down! Haish... Saje tau korang nih,tak kasik I pakai my treats point.. Niat di hati nak beli KFC so that can utilize treat points yg seciput tuh, so tak yah pakai cash, tak boleh pule.. Tak pasal-pasal kena spend cash! Haih, kalo tau, baik pi beli nasi goreng kampung je kat kedai belakang umah ni! Murah sikit! Hehehe.. Cobaannnn!!! ;p

Loads of love,

selamat hari raya aidilfitri!

Assalamualaikum u'olls..

Ei,lamanya i tak hapdet ini blog.haha..tak de menda nak citer la.. Lagipon, bulan puasa nih, macam tak ada mood nak menulis. Rather than writing something that might annoy anybody, I wud prefer to be silent.. Much better kan? hehehe..

Ok.., hari nih 27th of Ramadhan.. Huwaaaa.... Cepatnya masa berlalu.. Honestly, jujur from bottom of my heart, I did bad for this Ramadhan.. Rasa kurang beriman.. :( Moga-moga Allah terima amalan I yg seciput tuh dan ampunkan segala dosa-dosa I.. Astaghfirullah hal azim.... Huhuhuhuhu.... :( And Allah, plz give me chance to be in another Ramadhan next year.., hoping that I can make up for this one...

Actually, in this entry, I wanna wish EID MUBARAK, SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI to u'olls... Di kesempatan ni, I mohon maaf and ampun, ikhlas dari hati, atas segala salah silap I, yang sengaja mahu pun tidak.. Ampunkan I ye kawan-kawan.. Actually, I pernah dengar satu ustaz cakap, memohon maaf dari Tuhan adalah lebih senang sebenarnya daripada memohon maaf dari sesama manusia. True! 

Sebab Allah itu naturenya PENGAMPUN dan PEMAAF, but, we human, ada rasa dendam, marah dan EGO. Jadi, kadang-kadang susah nak berlapang dada. Kan? I dunno bout u'olls, but I memang ada perasaan tu.. In fact, now pun, masih ada manusia yg I still marah and geram for what that makhlukat has done. Huhuhu.. Susahnya nak just let go and berlapang dada selapang-lapangnya... Hati kotor kot! Takpe, I'll try my best to work on it... Huhuhu.. Kalo kita tak memaagkan, cane orang len nak maafkan kita ye dak?

So, k lah.. Selamat Hari Raya kawan-kawan.. Yg nak balik kampung, please do be careful di jalan raya, ok! Stay alert and focus!
Yang naik flight/train/bus, berhati-hati dalam flight/train/bus! *err..cane tuh? Haha.. Pandai-pandai korang la.. ;p* 

Sebagai kad raya, aci tak I nak letak gambar kad raya yg anak dara I tulis untuk teacher dia je? Haha.. Aci la ek..

selamat hari raya aidilfitri!

Fulfilling dear Ana request.. :)

Assalamualaikum u'olls...

Hoping that u'olls are in great health.. I'm not.. Huhuhuhu... *hukhukhuk..ceh..,tiba-tiba batuk..*

I'm down with flu *mode : no smelling sense at all.. Haih..*, and cough looks like gonna visit me soon.. Halamak hai.. I dunno, guess the weather is bad now.. Coz, it's not only me, but my sissy and Mama also caught flu.. Kasihan sissy.. She's currently in her exam period now.. Hope Allah will make it easy for you Angah! Amin.. :)

So today I lepak-lepak kat rumah je.. Went back home after sending Fatin to Educare this morning.. Oh, dropped by at pharmacy dekat Greenwood ni, to buy Fatin's flu&cough syrup.. Dah habis dah.. Beli farmasi je la.. Tak larat nak pi Sg Buloh nu pi clinic paed yg we usually bring her to.. 

Oh.., btw, before I lupa.. This is specially for my babe, Ana Zainuddin.. U asked me to write bout the medicine that Fatin's been using for her flu & cough problem kan? Ok, there are 2, err...how shud I say it, mm, inhaler la yg Fatin is on now... The name is Flixotide and Ventolin.. 

source : google

source : google

And the device to assist the spray and inhaling process is called Aerochamber. 

source : google jugak

source : juga google..hahaha

Fatin was first prescribed Ventolin when she was 10months old.. *yeah.. I know.., she was sooo young at that time.. Huhuhu..*. But during that time, she was attacked by a very bad cough and flu.. After her 2nd day at nursery.. Can you believe that, only two days..!! And before that, she was a perfectly a healthy baby with no flu, cough, fever and whatsoeva.. But yeah.., what do you expect.. That is the risk that you have to bear once sending your child to a crowd of strangers.. Kita jaga anak kita baik-baik, tapi kalau ada anak orang flu/batuk ke, nak berjangkit, jangkit jugak.. Out of our control.. So, terima je lah..

Ok, back to the story, since the attack was quite long, and I started to worry *oh yeah..typical me.. Worry and I are very good friends.. ;p* we brought her to one of the pediatrician near by here at Wangsa Maju. Doc checked her chest and said ada wheezing. And due to her, the wheezing is caused by the phlegm is already in her chest.. So, doc tried to clear it by putting the gas mask and of course the gas at the clinic. Unfortunately, that was not enough. So she prescribed the Ventolin and of course we need to buy the Aerochamber device sekali lah.. *memang Enche Ayah kena ketuk kaw-kaw punya bayar medical bill ini budak kicik.. hihi..*

Since then, flu and cough come and go.. Bila ada attack, we used the ventolin, kalo tak de, we stopped.. But, we are not really happy that the attack is keep coming and go.. Kejap-kejap kang flu.. Batuk.. Susah hati la gak.. So we decided to try to see other PAED.. So we went to a Klinik Pakar Kanak-Kanak Serena at Sg Buloh. Then she said, the wheezing was still there.. Then she said, we still need to continue Ventolin, and she prescribed the Flixotide plak.. This Flixotide is actually to protect Fatin's lungs from the attack.. 

Due to this PAED lak, actually, bukannya phlegm tuh really in her lungs, that caused the wheezing, but actually, bila ada virus (from the phlegm), so her airways tube tuh will create some layer to protect the virus from attacking.. So, sebab itu ada wheezing, sebab airways dah narrow.. So, Ventolin's job is to kill the virus, and Flixotide is to protect her from the virus.. Because her body needs time to remove the layer that was created earlier.. Kalau asik kena attack je, the layer will thicken and thicken.., so bertambah teruk.. Itu her professional explanation la.. 

So, start from that day, Fatin kena spray Flixotide twice a day everyday, sampai 6months.. Then bila ada attack (flu/cough) cepat-cepat start Ventolin.. 

Jadi, begitulah ceritanya.. I know, some of you must feel sorry for Fatin sebab kecik-kecik dah ada ubat spray-spray macam orang asthma.. I pon at first rasa macam tuh.. Ada at one time, I rasa nak stop the spray, but suddenly, Fatin's teacher told me a story that one of the teacher's child passed away because of cough.. I was like..APA??? The symptom was just a normal cough.. Maybe the parents thought it just a normal cough, so they just pandang sebelah mata.. But, after some time, it was getting serious, only then they brought arwah to hospital.. But then it was too late already, because arwah's lungs were already attacked by the virus and killed her in just a few days.. She was only 1 year plus..

Since then I memang amik serious pasal hal-hal batuk Fatin ni.. Seriau wooo.. Ye lah, we never know what will happen.. Kalau doc dah prescribed camtuh, I follow je la.. Tak kisah la orang nak kata apa..

By the way, kalau the mothers noticed, kadang-kadang bila anak u'olls batuk, dapat gak ubat Ventolin, but maybe in liquid form.. So Fatin punya ni is just the same like u'olls got, tapi in gas form.. Easier to handle, sbb masa dia tidur pon kita leh bagi ubat.. :) And Fatin did show quite an improvement, Alhamdulillah.. Cuma baru-baru nih je kena serang balik after quite long she's free from flu & cough.. Huhuhu.. I tatau la.. I rasa udara kurang bersih skang ni.. jerebu.. Sedangkan kita orang tua kena, apatah lagi si cenonet tuh..

So k lah.. 

Ana Zainuddin dear, 

hope it answers your question.. Try la tanya kat PAED Sarah.. Aku rasa yg dia dok bagi kat sepital tuh Ventolin or Flixotide juge.. But anyway, no harm asking.. Mintak opinion professional.. hehe..

Till next time u'olls... Bye..

Wassalam..

*** To be honest, actually I was planning on writing something else... Hahaha.. tetibe teringat lak my dear friend request, so, yg nih dulu la.. Later la tulis pasal hal lagi satu tuh.. Kalo rajin.. hihihi...***

Loads of love,

Tak-tahu-nak-letak-title-apa..Haha..

Assalamualaikum u'olls..

The title looks so weird isn't it? Haha..! Seriously u'olls, I was like, startling in front of my lappy, ready to type something, tapi macam tak kuar gak ilham nak letak title apa.. So, that's why the title bunyi begitu..

Actually, notin much to say in this entry. Saje ngengada nak wat post baru.. Haha.. Anyway, I'm at home ni.. Tak pi UIA.. Reason being, miss Pot-Pet I kedemaman pule.. Last night her fever was quite high.. This morning, macam dah ok, but, I just don't want to take the risk sending her to school, so monitor kat rumah saja lah! *Suka la makcik tuh! Hehe..* 

Pn Farahiyah kalau dah duduk umah, hmm, bukan reti nak rajin-rajin buat project! Nih la keje nye.. Main-main tak sudah-sudah.. Padahal kena usha some components to be purchased for my project nih! SV is waiting for proposal.. hehe.. Dr SV, nanti saya buat ek.. Ari nih MC, jaga anak demam.. *Alasan..... hehe...*

And, I would like to say millions THANKS for the commentators for my last post in here and also FB.. Haha.. Appreciate the advices! Sayang korang sume! *Wahh, bajet femes sangat kot! Hihi...* 

I decided to just let it go.. Bak kata some of you, mulut orang, bukan kita leh control... Sedangkan mulut kita pon kadang2 tak ter'control' ye dak?? hehehe... *Aik, macam kena kat diri sendiri jek! ;p *

Ok, actually, I just wanna post some pics and a video of my 'budak redup' *bak kata Kak Wiwi*.. Snap masa last weekend.. hehe..

Cik Fatin dengan whole-hearted nya sedang menari ala-ala Pak Me'on.. Hihihi... Semangat nox.. Sampai terduduk.. 

Then, in the evening, she was tired already.. BUT, this young lady, was trying to act tough, she refused to take a nap, and in fact, she was restraining her eyes from falling asleep. Haiya... Lepas tuh, everytime she yawned, she cried, as in, she was mad, why la her eyes were so sleepy.. Aduhai.. Anakanda..anakanda.. 

So, mama & ayah was out of option.. and we really have to do this..

Ulat bulu berambut hitam.. Hihi

Ha..amik kau.. Kena bedung di usia 1year and 5months.. Terus lena.. Hehe... Sometimes, this young lady needs some external help to just let her body to stay still, so that she can sleep.. Hihihi.. *This is our theory... Wakaka..*

So k la.. That's all.. Till next time u'olls.. Muuuaaahhh!

Wassalam...
