Mummy is garang now!!

2011-12-22T13:43:00.000+08:00

Zasssssssssss..it's like flying here and there..once Zarif is as sleep, time to get the house done..mopped..wiped..check emails..and last..blogging.. I already cook early morning, so there no trouble to that.. U know how kids are, sometimes it's ok to have sandwich or cereal..but sometimes, 'nasi' juga..

It is not easy to be a full time house wife, your time is so precious..u cant lay around, relax..like i always do on weekends..you have an eight hour (before babah comes home and take over :D) of time to utilize and get thing in line. Or not, the house will be up-side down even worse.. So, here i salute the calm house house, which i'm trying now!!

The kids are complaining Mummy is 'garang' now a days.. How i cant be, i have to put up rules and schedules so time is not wasted, the kids are happy lot and i am happy too..

I even made schedule for the meal..like our hostel days..if not, i'll be cracking my heads what to cook and what to buy..phewww.. Today is 'nasi lemak' day ok!! No picture tho..

Opps..Zarif is awake now..gotta go!!

Note : The underlines words are my tips for today :)

I am back from today onwards..

2011-12-19T14:10:00.000+08:00

As salam all!!

Alhamdulillah, at last..I am back to blogging.. I have plans on what to blog, but for now, nothing much important than telling everybody here that i have QUIT my JOB!! Just to care for my sons..but at the same time, i shall actively be baking HERE and of course blogging.

After 9 years of struggling, juggling with so many hats on me, at last..alhamdulillah..i shall only focus on the family. Yes it was a hard decision, but what the heck..i had to do it now than later. Anyhow, we'll find our ways to whatever necessary. I'll will share on my turning points on why i quit..soon!

Our small family :)

Photo taken by Aimie .. Cantik kan :)

Friends/family asked whether;

Do i get pocket money..no..i'll find my own cash..( and if hb is reading this..TQ yang, should there be any for me soon )..
Do i get any benefits.. yes..i do get quality time to care, nurture, see my children grows up :)
Will i'd get bored..no..i have my children, my baking and my blog..i think i wont have enough time juga tu..

I am content now. I get to monitor, nurture, educate my children as how i want them to be. Then it is all to Allah to determine it all..Insyaallah..

I 'll start blog walking soon.. take care all!!

Singgah sekejap..

Working Mom vs Stay Home Mom?

2011-09-30T20:28:00.001+08:00

Which is better? Both have the pros and cons..I'd say, both have the benefits and it all depends on your circumstances. Financial, family support, understanding employer and reliable child taker are main elements that may influence the decision to become a WM or SHM.

In my case, it's a 50-50..we are financial ok and I do have a very good (I mean it) employer..yet we are lacking on the remaining 2, esp when there are 3 kids on board. Nothing comes easy and money can't just buy everything.

Therefore..again we had the same situation as we had back in 2008.

Who could make that sacrifice? Me.

Honestly, I love working. It gives me confidence, adrenaline rush and of course lots of financial freedom.

But, when thing aint right with the children..good career and good money could never heal the situation. Things goes up-side-down.

For the best of the kid..to live a heathly life..
For the best of hubby..to focus on work..
For the best of me..not being that super-mama any more..

Most probably it's best that I become a SHM..

That's the power of women..need o say more ;)

Will continue this conversation..till then..have a happy weekend!!

Ps: ermm baru nak pegi Empire - KizWorld tu weekend ni..now had to wait till it re-opens :)

Yes, it had been ages..and ages..and ages..a lot..a lot.. And I really means a lot..had been happening.. All the un-told stories..the ups, the downs..phewww.. Yet, I am so glad, that things had been good, not very good..but so-so good..

And now I am testing to blog via my mobile..bcos that is the only possibility that could allow me to continue blogging..phewww hope this work :)

See you again soon..I promise :D

Selamat Hari Raya & Maaf yer!!!!

2011-09-06T00:36:00.000+08:00

Alhamdulillah..berlalu juga Syawal..dan rasa nya sempat lagi nak ucap selamat hari raya!!! dan pohon maaf pada semua kawan2 bloggers :)..jika ada terasa hati..terkasar bahasa..meh la singgah lagi kat blog yang kejap ada, kejap tak de ni.. :)

Zarif time raya mmg sukar sgt nak pergi rumah org..agak rumah berhabuk sikit, mula mata merah2..n tonyoh2 mata dia..so keja Mama..asyik dukung Zari sambil jalan2 kat luar rumah..maaf bukan x sudi..sat lagi kalau Zarif kena balik attack dia..phening ai tau..tu yang syukur sgt, Syawal dah abis..settle visit rumah2 wajib sahaja..

Since berkepit ngan Zarif jer, ni saja gambar yang semenggah..ni time pagi raya kat my mom's. Kejap je Zarif pakai baju tu..and baju Aizam pulak dah berlubang kat poket..terkena sumbu bunga api ..ish22..

Dua minngu sebelum raya, I was on unpaid leave..coz jaga anak bujang tecik tu..and alhamdulillah..I know what's triggers Zarif..HABUKKKKK esp in confined space!!!

And today Zarif resumed balik pergi taska..hopefully he is ok..x mau la cepat sgt kena balik..

Syiok sgt duk rumah!! I love to be in control of the kids..kita tahu apa dia buat/makan dari pagi sampai malam..nak ngelat2 buat homework pun x boleh..

Ermm...full time house wife?

Hope every one have a safe and fun raya...jangan makan byk2 tau...nanti susah nak diet balik..hehehe..

An episode of sicknesses..

2011-08-18T16:19:00.000+08:00

I missed my blog...!! missed blow walking..missed all the story-mory yg menarik..

Panjang cerita nya..mesti tak ramai yang sanggup dengar pun hehehe..

Last entry 21-July, Zarif x sihat..and guess what..until now, Zarif still tak sihat..on-off..demam + mouth ulcers + acute broncholitis..and 2 kali kluar masuk hospital..best part, saya berpusa 6 days kat spital..phewwwww..

And in between that kami pindah rumah baru pulak..pindah hari sabtu, hari ahad the 25th Zarif masuk DEMC for 4 days sbb mouth ulcers..out for a week, then masuk balik on the 1st day of puasa due to broncholitis pulak..bila kluar je..mama dia pun x sihat..batuk + demam..and berjangkit pulak ke Aizam..then followed by Iman..and again back to Zarif on last Sabtu until now..Tuesday, at 1230 midnite, tetiba his temperature was 39.5degree..masukkan suppository..mandikan...and cover him with wet towel..alhamdulillah, by 1 am dah ok..and at this momment still wheezing and coughing..

Ni la rhupanya anak bujang sorang kat spital ari tu..ni time ok..time tak ok..ermm shian sgt2..

Ya Allah..sangat2 menguji kesabaran..and last i cant sleep..grabbed my PC...browsing everything yg berkecemuk in mind..trying to find the root cause..ermm..susah nak cakap..it's so sensitive..kita tunjuk sana, tp 4 jari ke arah kita..so kita just shut up and focus on us.. At home we changed the environment..no carpers, bedding/pillows to anti-mites, Coway air purifier..but still the recurrences berlaku..

Tadi jumpa balik Peads-Dr Koshy lagi at DEMC..he said..the best would be home care for Zarif..at least he'll be in a controlled environment..until at least he gets better..He said, the best is to admit him again, but i refused..so we had portable nabulizer at home and will be seeing him again tomorrow..

Risau lah baru 8 months Zarif ..tah brapa byk steroid masuk badan..chemicals from the medications lagik..ishh sgt tak bagus..

Urghhh what to do??? cari one-to-one nanny? change taska? amik bibik jaga Zarif sorang je? or Mama BENTI KEJE?????????

Tgh berfikir..for the best of Zarif..

Now, satu preparation raya pun x buat lagi..cam na nak g sopink? dah semua sakit..Aizam dah sibuk dah..Ma..kawan abg dah beli baju raya, kita bila Ma? Insyaallah..minggu mmg kena gak cari baju raya..

p/s: Best part is I LOST 4 kg effortless!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's 55 kg now! LOL!!!!!!! will maintain it this way...

Few ups and downs..

2011-07-21T21:54:00.000+08:00

It's been very hot lately and the spirit of Ramadhan dah pun terasa..Selalu excited bila tiba Ramadhan..can't wait to fast..the feeling is so pure..di kesempatan ini..saya ingin pohon maaf..salah silap tulis/tutur kata..etc..moga amal ibadah kita lebih berkat dari tahun sebelum ni..Insyaallah..

Alhamdulillah our lil' cottage dah pun siap and insyallah hujung minggu ni pindah..and phewwwww.. nak packing is the most malas part!! Usik sana, usik sini..yet..still macam banyak je lagi x siap..uwaaaa help me..x sempat lg nak snap pics, rumah baru..insyallah nanti saya share..and rumah lama still x de sapa nak beli...so sesiapa minat pm saya yer..

Last week, Sabtu..first time Zarif demam..may be the weather kut..just demam..no runny nose or cough..alhamdulillah now dah ok..tapi the 2 days was darn hard to care or him..manja sgt..nak tidur atas bahu je.. well..no wories mama loves to manja2 kan Zarif..here Zarif at 7 month..dah boleh mini crawl ke depan..and roll smpai 3 kali dah jatuh katil..ish..ish..nasib baik tak pape..and susah sgt nak tidur sekarang..his frequent words..are 'tatatatata..tatata..'..kalau tetengah malam tu after feeding..Zarif sebut je the words..makna nya tak mau tido dah tu..so mama pun kena buka mata bebesar sikit..

And Jumaat malam sebelum Zarif demam sempat lagi to bakes..started at 10pm and ended at 3am ;)

TQ Moni for ordering these yummy squares..congo bars and choc banana bottom..this was inspired by KG..she's simply my muse in baking..TQVM!

Moist Red Velvet with cream cheese..TQ K.syirin for the trust..my first ever edible image handling..ketaq tgn nak lay down the sheet..alhamdulillah.. looks ok n nice..hehehe masuk bakul angkat sendiri la kan..but the edible was a bit wrinkled..probably due to the moisture from the cream cheese topping..learn my lesson..will only lay down the image lastly before delivery, just to avoid excessive wrinkles..:)

TGIF tomorrow :) need to start and finish all the packing ..

Mana my last resting place?

2011-07-14T22:07:00.001+08:00

Yeayyy tomorow dah Jumaat..and tiada lain..family time :)

Just to share with you all another freaky thought of mine lately..and I did discuss this with hubby..but we did not really conclude the issue..at the end..the topic were changed and saya pun malas nak tanya2 lagi..hubby marah fikir benda bukan2..ish..ish..scared of losing me ke? hehehe..

Mana my last resting place would be? Pernah tak kita terfikir bila sampai ajal kita, where would we want to be laid at? Our current neighborhood? Balik kampung asal? What if I kampung lain? and hubby kampung lain?

Hehehe..sori kalau ada yang rasa topik ni kurang sesuai..but honestly it's true..nanti anak2 pun pening..

At first, I'd feel safe to be laid at my own kampung, Langat. I felt i belongs there and it's home..I know..kalau dah mati tu, alam kubur cuma persinggahan sementara je sebelum menunggu kiamat tiba..and like i know where i was burried..kan? Mesti dah sibuk dgn siksa kubur, dah tak penting where pun..

So..at the end..I'd think the most suitable place..shah alam la kut..:) it's home too kan..senang nanti my children to pay a visit..kang nak visit mama kat Langat, babah kat Raub..see kan susah.. last2..x payah visit..berlalang la 'rumah' mama and babah.. :(

Nauzubillah..Insyaallah..kita doa agar kita semua dipanjangkan umur dan dimurahkankan rezeki untuk terus beramal dan berbuat baik untuk bekalan akhirat nanti..Amin..

Losing it..

2011-07-13T01:44:00.000+08:00

Again..it's been a while :) Bersungguh nak try to update blog..every time, there always something to share, at the end..time was just not there..alasan je kan..anyways..every in life seems good-fine-nice-super..tapi emotionally i am a bit lost and down..and kekadang a bit dumb..never felt this way..you want to cry it out but, nothing came out..you want to say it out, nothing could be clearly said..it just stuck inside me, i felt bloated with 'unknown' feelings..losing me..have you feel this way?

And..i sat..think..take a deep breathe-exhale..and i knew..i missed my Nenek! I never told this to anyone..except tonite..She passed away on 10-June-2011, 6am..Jumaat yang berkat..

Sejak I got married, most of my time..was full and occupied with you know why..kids-home-work.. Weekend was the day i'd settle my wildly house chores..being away means, i'd owe my time a big mess of 6 unfolded clothes, un-scrubbed toilets..etc..

Now I realized..my big mess of chores..could always wait and will never end..

Another day with Nenek..will never happen again..

I feel so guilty for not spending more and more time with her..i feel so guilty for not having the time to rub her back again..i feel so guilty for not having our old long talk, talking about nothing any more..i feel so guilty for not getting her the food she loves more often..most of all, i feel so guilty for not showing her that i do love her that much..

Nenek went to quick and my procrastination had got me..

It's true we must go on..but the guilt i have is slowly weighing me down..

Nenek..ampun dan maaf..very-very sorry for not spending more time with you..i dont even sempat to see you the last time..you will be in my prayers all the time..i do remember all your nasihat..i will remember all your kindness..i will remember all the time we used to spend together..i will try to be like who you are..you will always be in my heart all the time..

Pengajaran hebat untuk diri ini..tiada sesalan, setelah orang yang kita kasihi tiada..no turning back..appreciate all the people around you NOW! Spend MORE time!!!! Especially my beloved parents..i am trying to be a better person..insyallah..

Again i feel dumb..for letting this go here.. :(

Moga..my dumbness, will be a lesson to all ?

To share is to care..

2011-07-02T22:08:00.001+08:00

Speechless and sad..I am sorry I don't have any better words to describe the situation..but kindly let us help this lady - Noorma, with stage 4 brain cancer..and what really breaks my heart was she has got a little baby Rafiq which she hadn't had enough time to cuddle..love..hugs.. kiss..

Sorry i had to stop now..writting + crying doesn't really works tonite..

Please read details progress of Noorma's health progress here; Moon's Blog

Ni dari blog Kak Ieda & aQueen pun ada..
Here where you can help; CIMB 01070068677528 - Noormawati Mohd Rasif.

Rafiq and his darling mommy..

Again..to share is to care..may Allah bless you all.

"Ya Allah, please don't take Rafiq's mommy way too soon..and please get her to be back to normal.."

Apakah?

2011-06-29T23:20:00.001+08:00

Great apologies, if what I am about to say will hurt anybody at all. Un-intentionally..yet I do feel the need to blurt it out anyway..it's about Jimmy Shanley+Suhailah+Zahra.

Tell me any woman who doesn't want t be happily married with a loving hubby..surrounded by supportive family..and blessed with a healthy and pretty child. Between, you've taken the biggest vow of your life and somehow..somewhere, there should be some part of you to forgive and love the man you promised to. Legally and as a Muslim, it's a must for the wife to obey the husband and treat in a good manner..'Syurga di tapak kaki suami' after all.

Well of course it is none of my business and all we ever heard was Jimmy's side of story, but none from the wife. And maybe there's something really hurtful endured by Suhailah which made her so hard to forgive.

For what was written in the newspaper, Jimmy was waiting for the wife's love and have decided to care for darling Zahra..I was mesmerized and sad at the same time. I am a woman, at each birth, all you'd want to see is your hubby's face and support throughout the entire procedures. Yet Suhailah despised the daddy to their child. Ermm..

Despite all, for the sake of Zahra..can Suhailah just forget everything ??? The baby needs both parent..the baby done nothing wrong to deserve such conflict..I dont care, whether Jimmy or Suhailah was wrong/right..I am looking from the baby's needs.

Ya Allah, such beautiful creature..

Pic was googled

Well, may be what they said was true..'tiada jodoh'..but, there's nothing wrong with a second chance..to find or to have the 'jodoh'..kena juga lah berusaha..right..

I 'd doa, pretty Zahra could make a change to her parents marriage..

Life is short..i wouldn't miss a minute of moment without my hubby and children. Ermm just remembered the first song my hubby dedicated to me 7 years ago..enjoy yer..

Jangan termuntah yer kawan2 ...anybody can guess who's the singer ;)??

Kau yang sangat kusayang
Karena kau gadis pendiam
Anggun pribadimu
Tenang di wajahmu
Hati ini mengagumimu

Kau yang sangat kusayang
Karena kau tak pernah manja
Wajah keibuan
Tersungging senyuman
Tiada yang menandingimu

Ku mengkhayal
Bila saat nanti hidup bersamamu
Hanya engkau teman dalam duka
Penghibur derita
Kepadamu akulah yang manja
Dengarkanlah, sayang..
Kupandang potretmu di dalam kamar
Tersenyum padaku..

Maafkan saya..

2011-06-28T03:32:00.000+08:00

Honestly, it was not purposely done..i was just too tied to get online..open my own blog or even hop to my lovely blogger friend's..ohh my, i've been missing in 3 weeks time..such long period..

I know it's not worth to explain..but..at least allow me to justify a point or two..

Weekdays..as usual..penat and too tied..Zarif is one big boy now..well that how he feels, i think!! He's a tremendous 6 months baby, but slightly feels he's 6 years old!! He hates to lay down..he hates to sit in the walker or in his bumbo chair..he wants to be mobile..means..kena dukung all the time!! Because, he feels he is the same as his bothers.. So..my only free time would be during his sleeping time..and by the time he's sleeping, my body was too tired and aching..and dont bother to blog anymore.. :(

Below photos of Zarif was taken yesterday by his RKIDZ teacher..dont you see a 6 years old acting like in Zarif..n the teachers mmg suka sgt ambil gambar Zarif ni..everyday, there must be new photos of him..enjoy yer, Zarif's photo by Teacher Ain..TQVM!!

Weekends..ishh..selagi our lil cottage x siap..mmg phening..last week org lami loor dtg, org aircond dtg...org rumput..org dapur..mmg lah i x buat all those things, hubby was on top of everything..and since hubby was busy, i am fully occupied with the kids at home..the delay was the house grille..2 weeks lambat! Org langsir dah bising bila nak pasang..org lampu pun dah call bila mau pasang..risau pulak without the grille, bergerak sendiri pulak benda2 tu :) tapi cabinets and wardrobe selamba jer dah pasang..lama sgt nak tunggu grille..so..weekends back-forth to old-new house..actually x sabar nak pindah :)

And..i've been taking orders on cakes..and i am so sorry, i had to limit my orders..1-2 cake per weekend jer..x cukup tangan wooo, tu buat time Zarif tidur....tu lah my mom bising, what's the fuss on taking orders..tapi i got satisfied when people likes my cakes :) between practice makes perfect right..

My usual orders..moist chocolate cake & red velvet cake..

Any how..even i dont blog..or dont have the time to blog walking..deep inside, everyday i'd ingat my blogger friends tau..aper lah cerita diorg nih.. :) will do so in time yer..

till my next entry..please take care all..muahhss..

Note: see what time is it now..dah tertidur tadi awal, so now i cant sleep..hahaha..lucky me, then got to blog :)

Two more promises to go..

2011-06-05T14:26:00.001+08:00

Alhamdulillah..only now I had the time to turn on my lappy..get connected and blogging..time was too little and ran so fast to catch it up..no wonder its always being quoted..time is precious..

Its school holiday, and from last Friday Aizam and Iman had been nagging me for a holiday.."semua orang pergi holiday mama"..had been hearing this statement for almost everyday..

First..Zarif is not well..second..our lil cottage need constant monitoring..org langsir nak dtg, org rumput nak dtg, org gate nak dtg..org floor depot nak dtg..and third..hubby was busy with work..(well actually this should be the first factor..grrr)..

So..to make things sound good to the kids (and also to make me sound as a good mama..hehehe) ..I purposely promised 5 things instead of going for only 1 holiday..which they all agrees and happy to..hehehe..

1. Watch Panda 2 the movie

2. Smaland, Ikea

3. Kizsport gym, Empire

4. Swimming

5. Shopping

Just a normal list..i still owe them the 4th and 5th promises..janji mama will take you guys okey before the school starts!!

Aizam had been wonders to keep Zarif entertained..by the glimpse of Aizam passing by, Zarif would automatically smiles and gets all excited..

Zarif now weighs 8.2 kg..and had started to grow his hair...(jgn tgk at my freckles okey..tgk rambut Zarif je hehehe)

And..what else better to do other than baking..for this weekend, another 2 requests..yeayy..& TQ ladies..

Red velvet cake layered & coated with super-licious cream cheese..TQ Azira! and many happy years to you and your hubby..

Moist chocolate cake layered & coated with super-duper chocolaty topping..TQ kak Azlin!

And..having our house filled with the aroma of cake..Iman purportedly complained .."mama ni asyik masak kek utk org je..adik pun nak"..here I goes at 1 am, right after completed the moist choc cake..super quick Devil's Food Chocolate Cake..

Sinful..rich but not too cakey..sourness from layer of cream cheese and the chocolaty sweetness..this is my favorite now!!!!! My cucur ikan bilis for this morning breakfast tak laku ye..bangun pagi je Iman dah tuntut kek choc dia..

All..have a good weekend yer..pssst..korang tengok Nora Elena tak?? I've watched it thru youtube..and..so sweetttttttt.suka :)

Too little resting but a lot of baking..

2011-05-29T19:41:00.000+08:00

"3 kids..no helper..buat kek lagi..mesti anak and rumah dia terbiar...aper lah yg dikejar kan lagi Zatil ni.." (suara2 negative)

You can call me crazy.. but i ensured the house is tidy, dishes are cooked, Zarif is asleep tau..only then i'd turn into action..i'd sacrifice my self to fulfill my one and only passion..and of course, i do have a great hubby minding the boys for awhile..=)

Well, this weekend memang amat packed, tak sempat nak beronline and bw melawat kawan2..ada few request and also completion of my cake deco class..hehehe rasa nya i kena buat another blog on my cakes kan..jadi rojak dah blog ni..tak pe la..ni kira one of my cinta jugakkan..

Moist Chocolate Cake TQ Azira for the repeat order..

Sorry, my photo taking skill is very poor..tak pa as long as the taste supersede the look..trying is believing..hehehe..

Moist chocolate cake with chocolate ganache..Azira's brother requested for his anniversary..TQ

Red velvet cake..OMG..this is my first attempt and indeed it was very velvety..for Kak Kira house warming..

Another Red Velvet..oohh the cheesy & sour topping really lifted and enhance the cake flavor..i've started to lurveeee this cake!!

Here..my final cake deco assignment...so lepas ni boleh la ambil tempahan utk any occasion..hehehe..

Alhamdulillah..of course i cant push away the Buddy the Cake Boss..at least, i am a step away from him..hehehe..

Ok..you all..have a great week next week ya..muahhhss..

Me, a year older..

2011-05-23T22:53:00.000+08:00

A year older, means a year wiser..that's what they've always said..andi guess it's true..the sensibility, sanity, sensitivity..all wrapped in a package and eventually lifted me higher, every each passing days..at this 31 yrs of age, i am blessed for everything i had and have..TQ Allah swt, and hoping for more and the better in many years to come.

TQ Mak, Abah & sisters & bro Adam for the wishes..from afar, the thoughts that really counts and i really appreciate it all..also TQ for the continuous support, love, care for all these years..love you all very much :)

My aunties, uncles & cousins..TQ for the wishes..and for all the love..love you all :)

To ALL my dearest friends..TQ n TQ for everything..the laughter, lending hands, thoughts and love..love you peeps always :)

Utmost..TQ my darling boys..mama love the cards. I love you all more than words..I don't want present from you lads, just be a good boy..that's more than a present to me :)

[Aizam janji nak bagi neckless ada batu merah, while Iman kata nak bagi mama cincin ada batu biru..(cari kat kedai petronas, masuk keta and shout.."mama kat petronas x de jual rantai and cincin la..next year ye")]

my spread of love..psstt..Tatik..missed your card here..as i pinned it at the office already..hehehe..

And..lastly, to my soulmate..TQ Yang for everything..love you as i always do..(mekasih watch tue..hehehe)..

LOVE you all !!

Tanah Runtuh di Rumah Anak Yatim Al-Taqwa, Hulu Langat.

2011-05-21T22:03:00.000+08:00

Sebelum ini mungkin tiada siapa yang tahu kewujudan rumah anak yatim Al-Taqwa di Hulu Langat. Well, it's not one of those 'glamour' rumah anak yatim whom get invitations by big corporations every other Hari Raya. Rumah Al-Taqwa was just there to provide shelter for the unfortunates..it's where the boys spend their life, found love and it's their home!.

Sesiapa yg lived in Langat of course would know the existance of the house..I hailed all the way from Hulu Langat and it's my kampung..I lived there for most of my life..

During my schooling years, we know the place as well as the school and most often 'terserempak' with the boys from Al-Taqwa..and they are good boys..

Why i claimed they are good? So obvious, the boys from our school would sneak to the back of the school and had puffed ciggy or even worst skipped school..and for that many years we've never ever 'terserempak' for the boys from that school ever sneaked like that..Even if the boys would passed by us, they were always in silent mode..sangat bersopan..

Untuk anak2 baik yang terkorban itu, the best i could do now is ..Al-fatihah..semoga roh mereka dicucuri Allah swt.. dan moga pencarian untuk mereka yang masih terkambus dipermudahkan Nya..Amin.

Sangat sedih :(

Ya Allah..moga mereka selamat dan dilindungi Mu..

Terima kasih atas berita: HERE

KAJANG: "Saya dengar bunyi dentuman kuat, tiba-tiba tanah kejar saya," kata Ketua Warden Rumah Anak Yatim Al-Takwa, FELCRA Semungkis, Mohamad Hambali Ismail, 34, ketika ditemuramah wartawan Berita Harian Online, sebentar tadi.

Katanya, ketika kejadian kira-kira jam 2.15 petang itu, seramai 23 penghuni sedang membuat persiapan untuk menyambut ketibaan rombongan FINAS yang dijadualkan makan tengah dan beramah mesra dengan anak yatim."Ketika sedang sibuk membuat persiapan, saya terdengar dentuman kuat. Saya tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa dan terpaksa lari menyelamatkan diri," katanya.

Beliau berkata, sementara menunggu, anak yatim terbabit berlatih kompang dan nasyid.

Ketika kejadian, 23 orang berada di bawah khemah.

Rumah anak yatim itu mempunyai 34 penghuni, kesemuanya lelaki.

Setakat ini, dua penghuni maut dan enam pula cedera parah.

Sementara itu, seorang penghuni rumah anak yatim berkenaan, Mohd Faizal Isni, 17, berkata, ketika kejadian dia pergi ke tandas dan tiba-tiba kejadian berkenaan berlaku.

"Saya nampak kawan-kawan yang berada bawha khemah sudah tertimbus, cuma nampak tangan dan kepala mereka. Semuanya terkambus.

"Masa yang sama, ketika saya menoleh ke belakang ternampak tanah runtuh," katanya.

Note:

Pada sesiapa yang tahu nombor telefon pihak yang menguruskan atas rumah anak2 ini yatim, pls share dgn saya..saya nak usahakan kutipan derma..Insyaallah..

Cerita SuperMommy..

2011-05-20T22:03:00.000+08:00

Lain org, lain caranya..apa pun, tak semesti kita penat bagai nak rak kat rumah..sampai ofis kita boleh sesuka hati boleh tidur kat surau ker kan..alangkah bes nye..tp tak baik cenggitu, tak berkat duit gaji kita :) Walau cammana penat, bila sampai ofis automatic the tune should be diferent..and straight away wanting to get things done and all the list of things to do dah ada dlm kepala..

As i said, rasanya setiap org ada cara memasing..but here just nak share my tips to full time working mommies on how to stay focused and efficient at work after a manic mornings;

1] Make sure semua keperluan anak utk hari tu semua complete!! Kalau ada tertinggal ke kan susah..pening nak cari lain or u-turn balik rumah..

2] Make sure keperluan kerja kita pun ready in the morning..touch card, e-token, lappy, stationary..etc..so tak le meragau nak cari or ketiadaan benda..every second counts yer..

3] Plan your breakfast...the most important..cam ne nak keje kalau perut sakit kan..i mmg ada oat/biskut kering kat opis..

4] Sampai opis..get breakfast ready..get your cuppa ready..x mo bangun2 dah..

My big cup..dah dekat 4 year pakai cup tu..

Aroma pun boleh membuka mata yg mmg susah nak buka..

5] On lappy..buka email..(sambil hirup oat) ..asing mana email ke to-do list today..

5] Greet la kekawan kat sebelah kejap..

6] Dah..bismillah..and stay fokusssssssss...and do most important first..

After all the twists and turns at the office/work..unbelievably that women still have the energy, passion and warmth of love to care, feed, teach, bathe, cleanses the house at night..and again the routine continues..I am not biased, but i'd say working mothers should give themselves a pat on the shoulder for the tremendous job they've done to the family and to the company..they've took care of the family with so much love and at the same time contribute to company's growth and productivity.

and of course that's a SuperMommy!..

Have a good rest & enjoy your weekend !

It's teachers day..

2011-05-16T23:31:00.000+08:00

Had been a hot and dry weekend lately..just a good reason for the boys to get their super soakers and really got soaked..i'd loved to join the combats yet, baking was so much tempting that the whole run-chase-run.. Iman was the youngest among the comrades..and the loudest of them all..i've always imagine what he'll become that suits his rough and brave attitude..(*?*)

It's teachers day..it was my hubby who suggested that i 'showed off' my buttercream deco skill..sbb malas nak keluar cari hadiah for the teachers..my first attempt..ain't bad and not as hard as i though it'll be..once you got the hang of it..there you go..flawless..

Dua kotak choc kat atas tu was ordered from my friend HERE. Sedap!!

Done the cuppies..Mama ni asyik masak untuk org je..and of course 'makanan sedap' for the boys last week..another of my moist choc cake.. This is another version of the moist choc cake recipe, my hunt for a moist & chocolaty cake will never ends..mmg lagi moist dari biasa..n sedap giler..using only the finest ingredients...uwaaaa rosak diet..for 2 days my breakfast was a glass of milk + a generous slice of this non-resistible choc delight!!!

Glad, this 8x2 inch cake dah pun habis by today..so tak payah kekonon nak rasa sikit end up..a slice..muhahaha..

Come on..another 5 kg to lose okay!!

On this teacher's day..

Kepada guru2 yg pernah mengajar saya TQ!! I wouldn't be of who I am, tanpa didikan cikgu!! And pada sume cikgu2 yang mengajar/mendidik my sons, TQ-TQ-TQ for the patience..and semua cikgu2 out there..teruskan perjuangan untuk mendidik anak2 bangsa...kudossss!!

Well..after all the sore shoulders trying to my butter cream right and neat..all the goodies to the teacher, tak sampai...all the cuppies tumbled dalam car....takkan nak bg yg dah rosak kan.. and ape lagi...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......penat mama!!! Last2, beli paper bag..benti Casalwa..beli kain utk cikgu2...what a good ending...

Lesson for today..niat tak betul..sbb nak show off my butter cream skill..muhahaha and another..never trust your kids to handle delicate items..and next year..awal2 lagi kena just get something yg takkan pecah/etc and could easily be handled by the boys..=)

Again TQ teachers..

Minggu yang kucar dan kacir ^_^

2011-05-12T00:09:00.000+08:00

Hehehe..mesti sume pening baca entry kat blog ni..bi ke bm..kejap bi..kejap bm..buat susah org nak baca jer..ni lah dia kalau ikut mood yang berbagai..sebenarnya, saya (hehehe skema betul) ok jer dedua, tapi bila tulis dlm bm, tak reti nak tulis secara formal..mcm mana bila bercakap, gitu lah yg di tulis..masa spm bm dapat A2, bi dapat A1..terukkan, macam mana lah nak mermartabatkan bahasa kebangsaan kita..ish..ish..

Hujung bulan ni dah nak start cuti sekolah, so minggu ni Aizam dah start periksa KAFA..macam biasa, anak periksa, mama yang pening bagai nak rak..adoi..kena duduk sebelah dia dan betul2 tumpu kat dia jer..kang kalau tidak mula lah melalut tah ape benda dia buat..ceconteng hujung bukulah, asah pensil tak sudah2..memacam lah..jadinya, nak ulang kaji..kita pun kena buat juga..habis KAFA, minggu seterusnya periksa sekolah kebangsaan pulak..So, bila dah siap ulang kaji..semua dah nak tido..baru boleh start kemas gitu-gini..

Moga Aizam di permudahkan menjawab periksa..insyaallah..

Minggu lepas, saya join kelas hiasan cake by Wilton..hehehe..org dah pro, kita baru nak try2..nway, watch out i'm the next cake boss..muahahaha..(jgn marah sume, angan2 sudah tentu tinggi)..TQ hubby & my SIL yg sudi tgk2 kan the kids sekejap..sian Zarif, x tido while I'm gone..tp alhamdulillah x de yang meragam sgt..tiap minggu kelas ni..dan sangat seronok okey..

Dah lama nak attend to such classes..baru sekarang dapat..weeee..suka..

Dah tengah malam dah ni..esok kena awal nak buat breakfast heavy sikit..I dont know, my mom kalau kami periksa, mesti prepare xtra special food..jadi, saya pun macam dah terikut2, Aizam's exam days..saya akan prepare breakfast berat sikit, tak de lah nasi lemak ker..macam pg tadi, cucur ikan bilis..so pagi esok may be roti n telur or mihun goreng..tgk dulu..kalau hari biasa, susu segelas + roti n butter je..bila kenyang mudah-mudahan senang nak jawab periksa..teori zatil je ni..hehehe..

wallahualam..

A love to Mak..

2011-05-08T00:44:00.000+08:00

My dearest Mak,

On this special day, I'd sincerely would like to wish you a Happy Mother's Day..deep from my heart you are the one and only soul whom could not be replaced.. Simply, you are the essence to my soul & life..

I would never understand you until I am a mother my self..and all these while, I've 'assumed' you are just too over protective, too over bossy, too over of everything..

Now I do know, all the things were because you loved me and for a good reason..you were scared of me being hurt, you were scared of me being lost, you were scared of me being useless..

And I know now, of all the reasons being for all the things that you 'made' me did during those growing years..

And truly I am so thankful for all those things you've taught, said, did, show, forbid, to me as for what I've became now..

In fact, I don't know if I could ever be the same like you and to successfully did the same thing to my children..

Mak, I'd also wanted to say thank you..so much for everything since my first day until now..and nothing on earth would be comparable to repay you back..

All those values of who I am today, goes to you..it's you whom made the good person in me today..

I love you more than anything..even until today, listening & talking to you simply solves and cures everything..

I will always have you in my prayers..for a better health and many-many happiness..

And I am sorry if I've ever hurt or made you sad during my 'young' days..it was unintentionally and more to my unstable teenage emotions..

I love you Mak..you are the best mom in the world!!

2011-04-27T23:20:00.000+08:00

Assalammualaikum semua..berkurun dah tak online and check blog..blog walking lagi ler..but honestly, rindu nak baca entry semua blog yg biasa i singgah..tapi, keadaan tak mengizin kan sesangat..nak tahu ape rupenyer i for the last few days..

tadaaaaaaaa....

Gambar yang sama as last entry HERE

Time2 gini selalu berangan..alangkah senang jika ada bibik..alangkah senang jika benti keje, alangkah senang jika mak ada dekat, alangkah senang jika.............

Amicably, it's not happening..aper lagi..dayakan juga diri mengharung hari..demi hari..penat sgt tau!!! May be org lain super-duper mommy..not me, I am only human :)

Again, Zarif tak sihat..wheezing...and of course merengek jer..siang tak tido, malam pun tak tido.. the only place he'll sleep was mummy's shoulder!! Alhamdulillah kali ni had Dr Rolizah DEMC's advice and prescriptions..kurang sikit, tapi tu lah..Zarif sensitif and prone to get colds..so last week, Zarif tido jer...semua benda i sental...dustless! Carpet vaccum! And now thinking of getting air purifier..kesian pulak, tak kan every month nak kena nabulizer..steriod, malas tul..

Doa, Zarif sihat and cepat besar!! So he wont get that sensitive..amin..

Aizam ada Solat Bestari last Saturday..which i think was good..and I'm so thankful that KPM had banned all junkies into school canteen! So the kids had no choice but to get proper food!

Iman pulak, skang dah ada homework every weekends..and Jolly Reader's book to read every weekend.. and I'm surprised, he can says the words..hahahha..."Inky, snake and bee, jump"...

But the most memorable thing last week was..

Aizam : Mama, kawan abang nak datang rumah. Boleh tak? (sambil pegang kertas and pen to jot down our house address)

Mummy : Boleh...kawan abang yang mana?

Aizam : Farah.

Mummy : Huh? Farah? Dia girl kan?

Aizam : Aah..girl..dia kata nanti mama dia hantar gi rumah kita.

Mummy : Ish..girl mana boleh dtg rumah boy, abang..girl kena pergi rumah girl je lah..lagi pun kita mana ada mainan girl..sumer boys punya.

Aizam : Tak pe mama, nanti ajak dia tengok TV jer..

Mummy : Ishh..tak payah lah abang, cakap dgn Farah, mummy tak bagi dia datang..boy je boleh dtg rumah kita..girl kena pergi rumah girl only..

My hubby and I gelak sakan, when we talked about it again masa on the way to work...mashaallah, budak2 sekarang... i ker yang tak betul didik anak? or mama girl tu yang tak kisah..? (*confused*)

To my darling boys!!!!!!!!! No girl to meet me until you got your own job and money and ready to get married! Tak kisah lah anak sesaper pun...till then, me the only girl allowed in the house!

I am now their Mama!

2011-04-18T23:01:00.000+08:00

I've a confession to make..

Early this year, out of no where, Iman started to call me Maa..I've corrected him many-many times..yet again..the word Maa will come out..Any how, I still address my self as Mummy! That's what I wanted to be called, since 7 years back..not Maa not Mama..

In fact, with the kids, my Hubby would refer me as Mummy..not Maa not Mama..

So, it'll be a weird situations..my relatives/friends.. selalu tanya, Aizam panggil Mummy..Iman dengan Maa dia..

I asked Iman ..why he kept on calling me Maa..(tak pernah Mama tau, Maa je)..he said.."Maa tu Mama lah".. and he said, "semua kawan dia ada Mama, dia sorg je ada Mummy".. Uwaaaaaaaa.....glup..glup..what should i do????

Honestly I cant imagine my self as Maa or Mama..i dont know, it just felt weird...

And..middle March..Aizam pulak...tetiba dia pun tukar panggil Mama.. (confusssseeeee...)

Still I refer to my self as Mummy...the word Mama just don't register to my brain!!!!

I asked Aizam why?? He said.."kitaorg dah besar..Mummy tu utk baby jer..kena panggil Mama.."

Boleh?

So petang tadi..on the way back home in the car..i finally asked them.."Abang n adik nak panggil Mummy apa ni?"

Serentak.."Mama"..

Uwaaaaa...do i have a choice? My hubby kata tak kan nak marah kot diorg for calling me Mama..

So..i said to the boys..ok lah..Mama..

So, this evening..not a word of mummy came out...Only, Maa..Mama...and i belum lagi ada to address me as Maa or Mama..

Tonight cant sleep and kept on fidgeting..adjusting my self to the new name! Allow me time okey..this is very uneasy..

Psssttt..hopefully Aizam n Iman will change their mind tomorrow..and call me Mummy again.. :)

2011-04-16T13:36:00.000+08:00

Masa I pregnant with Zarif, I am not alone being the 'whale' and 'fat'..In fact, my sis and hubby's brother's wife (biras ek??) pun sama jugak..So last raya, the 3 of us, memang tak de nak lawa2, semua pakai ala-ala busana muslimah..selesa and senang nak makan tak payah nak cover2 perut, yang sememangnye tak boleh nak cover lagi actually ..hehehee..

Alhamdulillah, by 2011 all the 3 babies were born..so my mum had 2 cucu (Uzair & Zarif), and my MIL, had 2 cucu (Alya & Zarif)..

Last 2 weeks, my BIL/SIL hailed all the way with the baby girl...chomel tak..Alya Zulaikha..lahir 2 weeks after Zarif lahir..

Alya & Zarif

Ishhh..anak sape yg bolat sungguh itu :)

And here, my sis's baby boy..Uzair Wazif..chomel kan...Uzair was born much earlier dari Alya and Zarif, on 28th October 2010..and he's approx 6 months dah..and have started to crawl!!

Hensem kan...

Ni Zarif yesterday, while waiting for Aizam back from school.. Anak masham mummy!!

Errr..how time flies so fast..hilang semua sakit2 pinggang bila tengok all these cute babies.. nanti they'll be around the same age..mesti meriah time raya/kenduri..

And yeay..all the 3 mummies boleh melaram balik raya tahun ni....pssstt..dik, kena kurus cepat2 ni..3 more months to go..hehehe..

Baby Zarif is 4 Months Old Today!!

2011-04-13T23:57:00.000+08:00

His own character was remarkably seen now..unique and incomparable to his 2 elder brothers. Mummy and Abah just adored of what Zarif is..cheerful, friendly, he knows when we called out his name..and i think he knows he is very much loved by all the people around him..

Zarif could roll..but not too fast..mummy know ur heavy bump was a big bother..you'll get there soon! He could hold cloths/soft toys/trying to reach for things..and mostly put everything in his mouth..sometimes mummy doesnt know was it you're hungry or merely soothing your self.. Yes, Zarif is able to focus now..and he's attracted to bright colors only! Especially Barney and red Chuggington train..and most important he knows mummy!!! His eyes will follow where i go, and calls out to be picked up..

Below photos was taken late this evening, unplanned..and our camera was in the car..semua malas nak ambil..guna camera phone only..and please just bear on the poor quality yerr..

Zarif could sit supported..

His hands still, still in fist-ed position..

Yes, Zarif could watch TV now..only those with bright colors and accompanied like the above position..if not, the TV was just noise to him!!

Hurryyyyyy mummyyyyyyyy..i want my milk..

Last week he was weighted at 7 kg..an increment of 4.23 kg from his birth weight. Approx 1 kg every month..good weight gain baby!!

Every day is an excitement to see Zarif's milestone and growth..you know you are too much loved by us!

Room by Emma Donoghue

2011-04-09T22:10:00.001+08:00

'Pure and unconditional mother's love, captivating & gruesome'..

Simply, the best book I've read this year. Spent less than 8 hours to complete the entire 361 pages. It's not the kind of book that you can pause and to continue later. Lucky Zarif was sound asleep last night..by 7 am, I'm satisfied as I managed to finish the book. Those are times when my fist clinches with anxiety to know what's to happen next. Another great Dublin born writter - Emma Donoghue..yet Cecelia Ahern was my first ever best..

I ain't telling any synopsis as you gotta read it your self. All I could say, the book was beautifully 'narrated' by a 5 yrs old boy who've been living in the Room for 5 yrs with the one and only soul...his mother. She've done a tremendous and an incredible job raising him despite all the limitations and gruesome situation.

No doubt..mother's love is the greatest love of all!! And it's true...anak bagaikan kain putih, ibubapa yg perlu mewarnainya..

You've grown way too fast baby Zarif..

Way too soon, I'll miss those baby face and 'masham' smell of yours..

No more dentist visit!

2011-04-05T23:02:00.000+08:00

Since the last entry...me...very the busy...and me...very the penat!

Weekend kesana kemari cari sinki/tap/lampu/kipas....utk rumah baru.

And Zarif still ada batuk2 sikit..tidur malam terganggu sikit.

And ada je tetamu dtg nak tgk rumah nusarhu..nak beli..sesapa tu, nak beli bagi tau yer and sorry kalau anak2 saya berperangai tak sepertinya...volume suara diorg mmg gitu..satu nusarhu boleh dengar..

And yg paling annoying..i sakit gigi, the geraham was cracked sbb mkn jambu batu masa pregnant with Zarif aritu..uwaaaa..nak update blog pun tak de mood okey..last week pegi dentist and kena advice buat root canal treatment..and 1 visit tak cukup..at least 2 visits..and td was the last visit..and...taubatttttttttttt x mau buat lagi...berjam2 tak sudah....bila dgr memula huhhh root canal treatment, macam bagus jer..ye ler dari cabut gigi geraham tu, baik simpan kan..tp..so complicated and so longggggg..sakit tak sakit sbb dah kena jab..so nganga jer ler..sabar je lah, kang sakit lagi gigi nak jaga anak2 pun tak selesa..

I mmg setiap after pregnancy, mesti ade gigi yg bermasalah..rasa mcm dah cukup susu minum. yet still ade je gigi yg bermasalah...confirm ni due to calcium deficiency..

Sesapa nak buat below treatment..get ready to let your mouth being invaded for at least 1.5 hours time...yes..i know the procedure..the decay must be cleaned properly before the filling, this to ensure bacteria doesn't spreads in and re-occur again..tapi..so complicated..

Ada org suka jumpa dentist..but I dont..the drilling sound, the suction noise..all the utensils laying on the tray..simply shoot shivers through my bones...and hate people peeking in my mouth for hours..

Janji akan jaga gigi dgn lebih baik lagi :)

p/s: bila teman Aizam and Iman pegi jumpa dentist..kekonon mummy suruh the boys to be strong and brave..shhhhhh..mummy actually hates dentist too...hehehehe..

My baby & his Pedeatrics

2011-03-29T22:24:00.000+08:00

Since Saturday, Zarif macam batuk2 sikit..and macam heavy breathing..risau lah jugak..nape tetiba batuk, rasa kat taska x de bebudak yg tak sihat..so ahad still cam gitu n rasa mcm lagi teruk pulak..malam tak tido, merengek jer.. Isnin tu ingat nak 1/2 day of bawak gi klinik..tp banyakkkkkk pulak keje, and call taska Zarif ok jer..mummy pun tangguh lagi.. But Monday night..Zarif dah heavy breathing n susu pun tak mau...nangis jer..

So pagi Tuesday, emergency leave bwk Zarif g kninik..tah nape, tergerak nak pergi Klinik Pead. Dr Liew, kat Taipan.

Aizam masa kecik2 dulu slalu bwk jumpa Dr Roslizah kat DEMC..very nice lady.. Kalau tak pun, bawa jumpa Dr Hamdan kat Klinik Adek..mmg bagus..

Iman pulak suka bawak jumpa Dr Sofiah Ali kat SDMC.. And semua pead ni mmg bagus..

Tapi bila semua dah besar...kunjungan biasa kalau sakit2 would be Klinik Dr Zaini kat BJ..She is the best!!!!!!! Baik sgt..n she remembers what ever benda yg kita cerita on our last visit!! Love u doc!

So untuk Zarif, sebab malas tggu lama sgt kat DEMC/SDMC/klinik Adek...cucuk kat Klinik Pead Meghana kat TTDI Jaya..kejap je org x ramai..and bila batuk2 ni, rasa nak try Dr Liew pulak..

First time jumpa Dr Liew, very nice man..Dr Liew kata Zarif had bronchitis..had a nab..tomorrow kena follow up..klu tak okey, kena admit...uwaaa..tu yang paling malas tu..skang ni, rasa ada kurang sket..n Alhamdulillah Zarif pandai makan ubat.. hopefully by tomorrow morning ok..

Nak share what's bronchitis, here and below;

How to Treat Bronchitis in Babies

Bronchitis in babies is a result of swollen, inflamed bronchial tubes. Babies and young children are at higher risk for developing bronchitis due to their developing immune systems and respiratory systems and narrow bronchial airways. There are two types of bronchitis in babies. Acute bronchitis is usually the result of a cold from a bacterial or viral infection. Chronic bronchitis develops from allergies or exposure to smoke and environmental irritants that are inhaled. Proper treatment and medication is essential for treating bronchitis in babies to prevent damage to their developing respiratory systems and prevent severe infections.

Sanitize all areas of your home vigilantly and any item that your baby may come in contact with. Wash your hands and/or sanitize with a hand sanitizer to maintain personal hygiene and prevent passing germs to and from your baby.
Continue to breastfeed or formula feed your baby. It is essential to maintain a regular eating schedule to prevent dehydration caused from excessive mucus and phlegm production.
Use a vaporizer or humidifier to increase the moisture in your home's air. Moist air aids in loosening mucus from your baby's airway and will help relieve coughing due to the bronchitis. Use an infant-formulated saline solution to treat nasal congestion. Follow guidelines for administering the drops to loosen mucus and allow easy removal with a bulb syringe.
Give your baby an expectorant that has been approved by your pediatrician to loosen and treat chest congestion. Administer infant acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce and stop fever and ease sore throat pain. Avoid the use of any medications that contain aspirin to treat babies with bronchitis. Using medication with aspirin can result in a severe and potentially fatal reaction known as Reye's Syndrome.
Avoid exposure to breathing irritants such as smoke or outdoor allergens and dust. Limit your use of cleaning chemicals indoors and opt for natural alternatives such as baking soda and vinegar that do not create irritating fumes that can irritate bronchitis infections.
Administer all medication and antibiotics prescribed by your pediatrician completely, even if your baby's symptoms show improvement. Your pediatrician may recommend routine breathing treatments for severe bronchitis infections that are performed with a nebulizer, mask and medication liquids.
Monitor your baby while treating for bronchitis to make sure he is not having problems breathing that is noticeable by rapid and/or shallow breathing, severe wheezing, drawing the chest and neck in when breathing, flared nostrils and blue discolored fingernails and lips.

Lagi sekali buat..siap!!!

2011-03-29T00:12:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday, first time ngaji dgn Ustazah Jamiah kat rumah. Aizam and Iman, with 2 other kids, ngaji dgn Ustazah ni setiap Sabtu, 10-1130 am.. Selalunya Aizam and Iman akan pergi rumah my neighbour.. reasonnya, biar lah umah dia..coz dia ada bibik senang nak kemas umah bagai..n risau anak dia Aiman 6 yrs old takut tak behave kat umah org.. So since Aiman balik kampung, then Aizam, Iman and Yaya..mengaji kat umah je..

Time ngaji, lepas je snap gambar kat bawah ni, terus minta diri naik atas..nak tidurkan Zarif.. Actually malas nak tgk, nanti dia tau mummy dia ada kat bwh, memasing buat perangai..

MasyaAllah..dari atas dengar susah nya lah Ustazah tu nak suruh Iman sit and mengaji..and ader je jawapan Iman ni..yang paling i terkekek gelak sorg2 dengar was..ustazah suruh siapkan tulisan jawi, boleh jadi anak soleh..Iman sambung nyanyi lagu Sole-sole (lagu dari movie Kak Limah)..

Ape lagi, buat muka memarah sket..i turun bawak rotan..baru senyap n duduk sebelah ustazah tu.. Mmg tahu sgt perangai Iman tu..span of attention dia very minimal..so, kepada semua cikgu2 especially at REALkids, ustazah2, ustaz2, yg pernah ajar Iman TERIMA KASIH tak terhingga sesangat, sampai anak saya jadi pandai!! Mummy kalau ajar mesti, in-direct..nak ajar tp mcm tak ajar, baru Iman dengar..kalau tidak..mesti dia main2..

Pernah time I preggy with Zarif, dah elok2 bersila..lepas Aizam ngaji, ok Iman pulak.. So Iman duduk elok2..doa..bila i tunjuk je satu huruf jawi ..Iman pandang je i, tetiba Iman gelak kekuat..bila tanya nape gelak..dia kata muka mummy gemuk sangat.. boleh??!! I bangun, suruh babah dia yg ajar.. merajuk la.. anak bertuah..

Zarif tak mau diam..time ni asyik dok gerak je..

Lepas abis ngaji..dedua naik atas tukar baju..and since Zarif dah tido, i pun turun nak start masak..sibuk masak..baru tergerak hati..awat la lama sgt tukar baju kat atas..dah tu senyap je pulak..

Bila naik je atas..tadaaaaaaaaaa...pintu bilik...tah mana dapat idea nak conteng gini..sebelum ni tak pernah la purposely conteng..

Memasing tgh beriya padam guna eraser...abang kata adik suruh..adik kata abang yg buat..

Sebab tgk muka dedua dah pucat sesangat..tak sampai hati pulak.."Lagi sekali buat..siap!!!"..

Bila hubby balik setengah jam lepas tu..i citer dedua citer..dia pun x leh nak marah dah..gelak kan Iman. coz ingatkan dia ok dgn ustazah..rupanya sama juga..sebab tak de pulak mummy Aiman bagitau pasal Iman kat umah dia..so thot semua ok jer..hehehe..

Kena bersihkan contengan tu..rasa dgn thinner boleh kut..coz bila spray perfume sket, terus cam hilang jer..takkan nak tukar pintu kot...kikikiki..

Note: Sesaper nak khidmat Ustazah Jamiah, yang boleh datang ke rumah untuk mangajar Iqra' and jawi boleh call dia @ 0132515952. Ustazah duduk kat area U5, Subang..so within the vicinity boleh la call dia..fees, a group of 5 kids, RM 30 per hour..

Kotor, sedih & malu!

2011-03-24T23:35:00.000+08:00

Saya mmg tak pandai bab2 politik ni..dan rasanya tak de hak nak bersuara perihal politik..saya cuma bersyukur bila keadaan politik stabil demi keamanan kita bersama..Alhamdulillah..

Cuba bersuara pasal anak-anak, baking, unit trust, soping..laju le..hehehe (*wink*)

Sejak 2-3 hari ni, saya merasa amat kotor, sedih & malu dgn berita tentang video Anuar Ibrahim! Apa perasaan anak-anak & cucu dia bila baca dan tahu tentang cerita2 yang hangat melibatkan Anuar sekarang? Apa perasaan Datin Azizah, mengetahui angkara2 buruk ni?????

Izzah is the same age as me..and if i would to be in her shoes, i would pretty much feel bad..really bad.. The fact is, we don't know the truth and the game these people are playing..so, nothing you say is politically correct (*confused*)

Setiap pagi, on the way to office mmg i on Sinar FM (lurve KE, SY and kril!!)...Lurve KE..very defensive to women..yeahh way to go sis!! And SY pulak..very the gatal..hehehehehe.. while kril is natural..mmg i suka dgr their chats..kekdg tergelak smpai kuar air mata n sampai ofis mesti tersenyum..

So every morning, masa dalam keta tu, bila ada berita je..the word 'sxx' caught Aizam's attention..la tu juga i tukar topik..and bila tgk berita utama malam2 pulak..again the same word was repeatedly said..and again, i tukar topik..ishh...bertalu2 pulak 'sxx' diorg sebut, cam ne Aizam tak tanya..

Berdoa je, that things doesn't get any worse with Anuar..and what ever it is..i am just wishing Anuar's wife and children are strong to face all the pinnacles (again..).!

InsyaAllah.

p/s: Really scared of these political games! shooo shoooo go away from my couch...

Zarif & kawan-kawan..

2011-03-24T02:45:00.000+08:00

Kawan2 Zarif di taska (Rkidz), tak ramai hanya 3 org je yg bawah umur 1 tahun. Selebih nya, 4 org lagi dah besar2..Aizam lah paling besar kat situ..

Syukur sangat ofis sanggup buka taska, walaupun ada juga blips and blops nye, yet way better compared to day care with 30-40 kids in the house. Sebelum Rkidz buka, 3 years sebelum ni Aizam n Iman duk taska yg ada 41 kids tau! And i just know what's the condition like. (*terrifying*)

Sorry, gambar tak clear sbb guna camera phone je. Kebetulan pulak, Zarif and another baby, Naufal pakai baju yang sama. Tu yg amik gambar diorg tu. Baju tu teacher Ain yang bagi masa baru lahir. Naufal, lahir 2 weeks early dari Zarif, kira sebaya lah tu.. Zarif n Naufal selalu 'berborak' sesama tu..

Naufal and Zarif..kenal kan mana satu baby Zarif...

Lagi sorang yang masih baby juga..is Delysha..baru 7 mnths..manja sgt..And yg bertanggung jawab jaga baby2 ni is teacher Ain. Ain ni muda lagi, tapi dia cool je jaga 3 baby..klu nak compare, kita jaga sorg baby kat umah pun klam-kabut..hehehe..Thx teacher ain, jaga Zarif dgn baik!!

Zarif, teacher Ain and Delysha

Walaupun sedikit quantiti Zarif n kawan2, mummy sentiasa mendoakan Zarif sihat sentiasa and terpelihara dari sebarang angkara buruk di Rkidz..

Takut tau, bila baca mcm2 incident berlaku di taska..Nauzubillah..

Smart Women Finishes Rich..

2011-03-20T22:55:00.000+08:00

Mesti uol kata..ape lagi lah Zatil ni..hihihi..

Well, selain dari my full time office work, Public Mutual Unit Trust Consultant (UTC) is my part time job.. (shhhh..nanti bos tau..) ..

I know..i know..semua org kalau nak citer pasal duit/financial planing, mesti malas nak dengar..i pon gitu jugak dulu..(*lariiiii....*)

But is all changed to a new perspective..around 2008! Actually nyesal, nape lah 2008..nape tak 2004 dulu lagi!!! I read a book titled 'Smart Women Finishes Rich' by David Bach..then baru terkesima, betapa alpa nye i time tu..boros..boros..boros..sopink..sopink..n sopink..x ingat dunia..every month x save langsung duit..n what i beli was all the unnecessary..and i was really..really..really nyesal..uwaaaa..(*nasi dah jadi bubur, okey*)

So that was 2008, lepas abis jer that book n kebetulan, within the same time frame..i terjumpa a fren, who was a UTC..my first investment was through EPF!! Time to rasa, duit gaji mmg x leh usik..kekonon takut by end of month nanti x de duit!! Bila tgk EPF investment tu had a good return, tapi duit tu x leh guna sampai 55 yrs old kan..owh..cam lama sgt lah pulak..geram lah pulak..a year apporx 15% return..saper tak geram..memana saving ASB/EPF/Tabung haji, dalam 5-8% jer..so, i start invesment dgn Public Mutual (PM), RM100 per month..(*see, berbelanja x kedekut..nak saving/invest punya lah kedekut..x sedar lagi tu*)..

Last year..it all struck me..i see good return from my EPF and cash investment..and i really want to get more involved with my saving/investment..so last year i became a UTC! I had a great team and a great mentor!! Thanks Yati and Suhaimi!!

Skarang ni..my spending habit have changed..i am really careful with what i spent on! Every cent that goes out really counts..and even lebih duit RM50 by end of month pun i akan simpan for my PM investment..

For me..investment yg i guna EPF Account 1, shall grow by the years..until umur i 55..time tu..of course, inflation rate is higher..dah tua of course..nak g umrah selalu and may be for my medical expenses..you'll never know..this is my long term investment plan! Lagi pun, investment tru EPF ni, tak kacau pon monthly expenses kita.. EPF untung 5.8% last year.. why not grow and expand the money for higher return tru PM unit trust with ~10-15% return..banyak beza tu..

While, my cash investment is my moderate term investment..5-10 yrs..may be..actually i dah ada jual 1 unit trust with approx 15% return, due to some reason..and now i dah beli another unit trust for cash investment..15% return made me smile day and night!! Tu yang menyesal, nape la start lambat!!

Kita never know how our future holds..it is good to start investing early..kekadang bila keadaan terdesak, then Alhamdulillah ada je 'basket' with some returns.. and that book really taught me that..kita kena have several baskets for our saving/investment..one of the 'basket' will really help us during the rainy days..now i have my emergency, retirement, holiday, anak2 kawen & joli2 baskets..I am working hard to fill in those baskets within each respective time frame!!

So..i hope the above could trigger some senses to uol, how important early saving/investment is..i learnt from my mistake, and hope uol does not make the same mistake as i did..dont procrastinate!!

Sesapa yang ada niat/plan to save/invest dengan Public Mutual, please send an email to me at zsyakirah@gmail.com. Nak tanya soalan boleh, nak tanya pape pasal unit trust ok jer..nak cuba save/invest using EPF or cash just bgtau, i'll try to answer or i'll come and meet you..Nak borak2 pasal duit..ect..just let me know..i'll share some facts and figures..free consultation okey, tak rugi!!

I know, some ladies out there are so lucky..tak yah keje lebih2..hubby sgt kaya and berduit, dah sediakan berbagai 'baskets' for you..lucky you darling!! (*wink..wink*)

Yet i'am glad i could help and throw some awareness to all lovely girls/ladies/mommies/daddies out there..lets all the smart women finishes rich!!

Note:

1] Free consultation within Shah Alam/Puchong/Kajang/Bangi/Putra Jaya/Sungai Buluh/Damansara/Subang/Bukit Jalil..sekitar sini jer..:) Kalau yang jejauh tu, we kan communicate tru email, and kalau seriously nak save / invest, i can arrange further.

2] To my sisters..(you know who u r!!)..give me your money n stop sopinkkkkkks...! In 5 years, i'll give you more return, baru senang hati nak khawin or sopinks!

Makanan Sedap Rumah Kita..

2011-03-20T06:42:00.000+08:00

"Mummy rumah kita ni tak de makanan sedap ke?"

Tengah hari semalam, baru je lepas makan nasi beryani sepinggan sorang, terpacul lagi perkataan kat atas tu.. Setiap kali keluar je perkataan tu, mesti makanan sedap tu refers to sama ada mummy's kek choc, cookies. cis kek, kek batik.....etc..

Tu yang susah nyer..selagi tak buat..selagi tu tanya..makanan sedap..kalau suruh makan coklat, biskut, buah, roti, ke..mesti x nak..padahal, my mom baru balik dari Sabah, memacam jajan ada kat rumah ni..keropok ikan tenggiri, kuih cincin..pun tak nak.. Nugget/sosej mmg i limitkan sekarang ni..saja tak beli..sebab, Iman kalau jumpa nugget/sosej tu, mmg zapppp cepat n laju jer..kalau beli sepeket nugget/sosej tu, selagi tak habis goreng, selagi tu la bukak/tutup freezer suruh mummy goreng..kalau nak makan all those processsed food, beli terus je kat KFC/McD..tak la byk sgt quantiti nya..

Actually, malam semalam dah buat kek batik, kekonon nak bawak bekal utk Aizam & Iman g mengaji pagi Sabtu..tak tahu kenapa, kek batik x mau keras pulak..ish..padahal sama jer bahan2 semua.. So nak tak nak kena la buat lagi 'makanan sedap' bebudak ni lagi..

Aizam volunteer nak jaga and main dengan Zarif..

Zarif dah boleh focus..tapi tangan tak pandai capai lagi..so berbuih2 mulut dia cakap kat tortoise ijau tu..

Ni resepi baru try, from KG..a bit less moist dari my resepi yg sebelum ni..yet, sedap jugak.,rich in choc coz dah bubuh a layer of choc sauce kat tengah2 kek tu..mmg sedap..try ler..

Ingredients

200gm dark choc - melted

200g butter - i used anchor

1 cup of brown sugar

1 tspn vanilla

3 large eggs

1 1/2 cup of self raising flour - i used 1 1/2 cup all superfine flour + 1/2 tspn baking soda + 1 tspn baking powder

2 tbspn cocoa powder

1/2 cup of milk

a pinch of salt

For choc sauce/topping

1 can condensed milk

90 gm cocoa - i use van hauten

100 ml corn oil

1tspn vanilla

In a sauce pan, add oil and cocoa..mix well..add in vanilla and milk..stir and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Put aside.

Method

Beat butter + brown sugar, until creamy. Then add vanilla.

Add melted chocolate, and mix. Add egg at a time, stir.

Add sifted dry ingredient, alternate with milk. Dry/wet/dry!

Line baking tin, bake at 150 degree for 1.5 hours or, until tooth pick comes out clean.

Once cooked, cool the cake. Halved the cake, pour choc sauce and spread generously. Then cover the cake with the remaining of the choc sauce/topping.

For more presentable look boleh guna choc ganache (choc+cream), as it holds and not too runny..tp my kids x suka..kalau buat choc sauce gini baru lajuuu..

After dinner sabtu, kek choc tinggal setengah loyang je lagi..simpan utk ahad pulak..Happy weekend to all.. :D

Cuti Sekolah : Sunway Lagoon

2011-03-18T20:52:00.000+08:00

Cuti sekolah jer, mesti kepala mummy and babah pening..mana la nak bawak bebudak ni jalan. Kalau tanya diorg mesti "nak pergi Hong Kong mummy, rumah Mickey Mouse!!". Ni Disney channel la yang duk siar ads ni..seb baik Hong Kong Disney jer.. Jadinya, tak yah tanya okey..kita pergi dedekat dulu yee..Masa dan keadaan yang sesuai kita pergi rumah Mickey :)

So, sbb Zarif kecil lagi, nak gi bermalam memana pun rasa tak sesuai..last2 mana lagi..Sunway Lagoon la yg dapat menggembirakan Aizam & Iman..Kalau cuti sekolah, nak pergi tempat2 cenggini, mmg x larat dgn sesak2..jadinya, amik cuti Khamis & Jumaat, and Zarif hantar RKidz.. Sian Zarif, tapi kecik sgt lagi nak bawa sekali dan rasanya lebih selesa Zarif kat RKidz..Zarif besar sikit lagi, kita pergi lagi..

Zarif sebelum mandi & siap2 utk ke RKidz..tak sampai hati nak tggalkan Zarif, knowing mummy cuti..tapi..that's the best for him for now..

Layan jer gambar Aizam & Iman okey..

Nampak tak (kat belakang..nun jauh) Iman and Babah dah jauh kedepan..mummy n Aizam, still decide nak cross the bridge ke tidak..last2..we decided not to..hehehe gayat ler....

Sampai Sunway Lagoon kul 1030am..kul 230pm dah siap2 nak balik..sampai RKidz kul 3pm amik Zarif..balik rumah semua tido kepenatan..

Jumaat pun cuti..pagi semua pergi ke Kuala Selangor nak pilih tiles utk our lil' cottage..hehehe jauh kan, macam kat Shah Alam tak de jual tiles..Contractor tu biasa beli kat sana and nak tak nak, kena la juga ke sana..

Alhamdulillah cuti sekolah dah habis..kalau tidak asyik tak rasa bersalah je kat bebudak..coz, Aizam selalu tanya, kenapa cuti sekolah pun kena duduk RKidz..nape tak boleh jer duduk rumah..(mummy had to work sayang..)

BPA free bottles for your kids please..

2011-03-14T23:43:00.000+08:00

Kudos to the minister of health for highlighting this issue to the public. All these while, this BPA free issue only spreads over the net / health articles..and I dont think parents who really reads all the infos do take it seriously or merely 'read' and forget.

Yes, all my kid's water and milk bottle had been free from BPA since the last 5 years! I would make an effort to purchase these bottle as there's a wide range of water/milk bottle with free BPA in the market now a days..just read the label in the front of the bottle which usually states 'BPA free'.

Below as extracted Malay Mail Online.

PUTRAJAYA: Polycarbonate baby feeding bottles containing Bisphenol A (BPA) will be a thing of the past with the government's move to ban the high-risk bottles in the country.

Health minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said his ministry's proposal to such bottles was approved by the cabinet on March 2.

Liow said the ban will take effect from March 1, 2012 in accordance with provisions in the Food Regulations 1985 and under the Food Act 1983.

"This decision is a precautionary measure as to date, there are no scientific evidence to prove that polycarbonate baby feeding bottles containing BPA are safe to be used by high-risk groups, especially babies and children," said Liow at a Press conference here this morning.

Liow said that BPA, an industrial chemical used in the manufacture of polycarbonate baby feeding bottles, is known to cause interruption to the human hormonal system, thus disrupting the body's functions.

"However, so far there has been no evaluation done on a baby's hormonal system. This creates uncertainties as to the safety of babies who are exposed to BPA," he said.

Liow said his ministry's continuous monitoring found that there is migration of BPA from the polycarbonate baby feeding bottles that have been tested.

He also said that up to last year, 159 samples of the feeding bottle were analysed and the BPA migration of zero to 0.7mg/kg was detected in 85 per cent of the bottles.

He added that the move was in line with the World Health Organisation's recommendations, also that the European Union (EU) had made a similar announcement earlier this month to make the ban effective from June this year for EU member countries.

Consumer's guide to using polycarbonate baby feeding bottles

● Sterilise the polycarbonate baby feeding bottle as instructed on the label or those provided by the manufacturer. If there is none, then the baby feeding bottle should be submerged in boiling water between five to 10 minutes.

● Avoid using hot water directly into a polycarbonate feeding bottle when preparing milk.

● Use appropriate cleaning utensils such as soft sponge and brush to avoid scratches on the surface of the feeding bottle.

● Always check the inner surface of the feeding bottle regularly. If scratches are found or the feeding bottle is spoilt, it should be replaced. If there are no scratches, the feeding bottle should be replaced every six months.

Mummy's Super-baby!

2011-03-12T23:50:00.000+08:00

First and foremost, lets all pray for Japan!! Teringat balik Tsunami 26th, Dec 2004. It was the morning after I delivered Aizam..Bangun je tido kat spital, morning news merata ada pasal Tsunami..takut..again 2011, the disaster hit again..I do really hope, we dont take for what had happened in Japan for granted. Things happened for a reason and there are reasons why it happened. Is it the way how we've treated earth or is it the end of world?????. Either one, it send shivers to my back..Anyhow, hope Hana is fine and selamat semuanya!

Baked below last night for a fren of mine. Glad she and son loved it. I must admit that my cake deco is just too 'bad' to show it off..I indeed should take deco class, memana..and soon! Recipe the same as before..

Moist Choc Cake w Choc Ganache topping

Congo Bar..tq KG!

And, again..where do i have all the time..chance..slot..to bake?!! This is because, my super-baby is asleep ..

Zarif is such a wonderful and contented baby..TQ darling, mummy loves u...

Happy Birthday Yang..

2011-03-10T00:07:00.000+08:00

Saya tahu, kita bukan pasangan yg romantik2..tapi saya tahu kita saling sayang menyayang..

Saya tahu, kita akan kekok ke candle light dinner..tapi saya tahu kita sgt enjoy makan tapau kat dapur kita..

Saya tahu, kita tak dpt nak tgk wayang mcm dulu..tapi saya tahu tgk HBO pun kita dah happy..

Saya tahu, sekarang bukan masa utk kita dating..tapi saya tahu a trip to Sbg Parade sudah cukup bermakna..

Saya tahu, hidup kita kelam kabut dgn 3 heroes kita..tapi saya tahu kita menghargai satu sama lain..

Saya tahu, dalam fikiran kita sibuk fikir kerja..tapi saya tahu kita cuba buang hal kerja bila di rumah kita..

Saya tahu, kekdg kita tak sempat nak ucap sayang..tapi saya tahu kita sentiasa sayang menyayang..

Moga dirahmati Allah, dipanjangkan usia, sihat tubuh badan untuk kita terus sayang menyayang hingga akhir hayat..

"Some things may be just too hurt to say, talk or even to be remembered. It's not worth even to tell or to share, which we rather kept neat inside our self.

It's life and people are just born to be what they are. We can't change them or make them change the way we expected them to be.

They are too selfish, too ignorance, too egoism, too heartless, to even considerate over others.

Only Allah could 'show' and 'change' them.

The best is for us to keep silence and ignore.

There are more true CINTA around us, for us to cherish, to care and to pamper"

Surviving at Daycare

2011-03-04T03:56:00.000+08:00

Sesapa hantar baby to nursery/day care, they should know how easy it is for the baby to get infected by any germs/virus/bacteria (segala such kind)..especially flu and nappy rash..this will never end..until, the child is strong enough by at least 3 years of age. And I am the kind of person, mmg malas to give them 'drugs' just to subsides these influences.

With Aizam, semua benda we were scared to try, and the best consultant were always the Pead..back..forth..back..forth..tu la keje jumpa doktor..and as soon as 3 mnths, Aizam had been taking drugs, which he was so common to catch up flu..and you know how miserable it is, stuffed nose, sleepless night..Remembered when he was 1 yr old, started from flu..infectiously jadi cough with phlegm..last2 ada pneumonia..asyik makan ubat + nabulizer, yet the mucus build up..dah kena masuk sepital for 2 weeks..time tu mummy mengong lagi, tak tahu ape nak buat.. (*mummy=zombie*)

Dengan Iman, rerasa dah berani sedikit to try and not taking 100% what the Pead said.

From what I see, flu only get worsen when the mucus accumulates, hard to breathe..and most likely shall cause to further infectious.. So macam kita nak selsema juga, once kita blow out the mucus, it clears the air way..and after few attempts, your initial flu just gone away..And the baby..they just need the assistant to get the mucus out..and we discover this..beli kat Parkson, Subang Parade..rasanya brand Pigeon or Pureen..tah mana label dia..

Yang bulat to letak kat hidung baby, yg straw to utk mummy's mouth piece..babah pengang, mummy sedut..hehehe..jangan la sedut kekuat sgt, agak2 so the mucus comes out..nampak tak mucus kat dalam tu, tu hasil sedutan malam tadi from Zarif..tube tu i belit so tak panjang sgt utk amik gambar..masa nak sedut let the tube in straight form..

Zarif dah few time, start flu..(sian baby!) and so far alhamdulillah, drugs not needed yet for Zarif..bila dia start sok..sek..sok..sek idung tu, i akan sedut the mucus..jgn biar mucus tinggal kat dlm idung dia..yang penting baby boleh tdo dgn selesa..(*happy mummy*)..nih mummy pula rasa nak selsema..

Tapi of course, you should tgk, after 2-3 days of sedut2..still macam teruk je..kena lah juga bawa jumpa Pead..

And another life saver for my babies is always baby care cream from sebamed..jgn terkeliru, there's another sebamed nappy cream, but not as effective as the care cream..

Mmg bepanthen..memacam lagi is good too, but for me, these nappy cream only gives protection to baby skin..but sebamed ni, it gives protection as well as treating the nappy area..kekadg tu, balik dari taska je, merah..malam i apply care cream ni, pagi je alhamdulillah clears up balik..flawless baby bottom..hehehe (*happy baby = happy mummy*)

Ni i try after Aizam had a worse nappy rash..and at 1 point jumpa Pead dia bagi a cream tulis zinc oxide kat depan dia..n lagi teruk Aizam, merah sesgt bottom dia..g pharmacy, tergerak nak try yang ni..alhamdulillah, the next day terus subside all the redness..you know how pedih it is kan..sian baby merengek je..so then on, ni je yang i beli for nappy area..

Nak ingat kan balik, sian Aizam, he'd gone through 'tough' time jugak..coz mummy and abah still x tahu and scared to try new things..Sorry dear!! Now we know which is the 'best' treatment for all my babies..

Kat taska..you cant ask for much...they get so easily infected from one another..continuous, lepas sorang, sorang lagi..kekdg tu x sampai 2 minggu dah macam nak kena lagi..takkan nak amik ubat jer..

Alhamdulillah, we'll find ways first to avoid taking drugs first..and sometime..kalau rerasa dah nak start je flu, bagi ubat for a 1-2 days..and sedut the mucus..insyaallah, ilang lah flu tu..And for the ubat, i dah cam which flu medicine sesuai dgn Aizam or Iman..Aizam, curable with Actified, while Iman curable dgn Atarax..These medicine beli kat pharmacy and simpan kat umah..agak2 nak kena je malam bagi 1 dose, esok x payah dah..

Then, each kids differ to another, may be all the above was only best for my kids but not to others.. wallah hualam..

My Weight Again....?!!!!!

2011-03-03T01:41:00.001+08:00

Phewwww..susah nya nak kurangkan ukur lilit..especially 'muffin top'....rasa nya, sebab tak exercise, tak sit up yang menjadikan lemak ni SANGAT DEGIL to break down..rasa cam nak cucuk2 jer dgn garfu!!

Tapi Alhamdulillah, dah boleh pakai sluar yg lama saiz 29.....tetttttt...saiz 27, masih simpan elok2, dengan harapan by June dah boleh pakai...and still 8kg away from target...gluppp 8kg!!

Picture Googled.

From wikipedia;

"Muffin-top" is a generally pejorative slang term used to describe the phenomenon of overhanging flesh (fat) when it spills over the waistline of pants or skirts in a manner that resembles the top of a muffin spilling over its paper casing.

Kita x de la target nak pakai cam gambar kat atas tu kan, nanti Aizam comment "mummy baju mummy dah x muat ke".. tapi untuk own satisfaction..Nak tgk cermin pun sendiri malu..(nyorokk...lari..)

Ramai lah..syorkan macam2, tummy massage, cucuk kat dr Ranjit, de bella product, PB,....but I want to go by natural as possible..less calories + active movements..nih tak done nak exercise lagi..kalau dulu every week pegi line dancing dgn kawan2..skang, tak sampai hati nak tinggalkan hubby dgn 3 kids, Zarif still unpredictable lagi..mmg lah 2 hours jer, kang mau tunggang langgang umah..kayuh lah sikit2 beskal yg ade kat umah ni..tapi, most often, baru nak kayuh..tetttt..ni..pastu..tooottttt. .tu.. last2 mummy ngalah...kensel kayuh..

Naik tangga, mop lantai, kemas itu ini, cuci toilets, baking, pon kira exercise kan..jadik la..tapi mmg rindu sgt nak sweat it out..and really sweat it out..

2011-02-28T00:28:00.000+08:00

Uwaaaaaa...tengah malam baru dapat ngadap PC and bukak blog...camner nak jadi blogger terbaik kalau cam ni!!! Mmg sah org x nak singgah sini dah..org masuk jer, sawang dah nak start..kena kuis-kuis sikit..sian tetamu..bukan tak nak update, idea memacam ada, tapi masa mmg tak mengizinkan..tak kan nak amik bibik semata2, nak memboleh kan saya berbelog..hehehehe..mau ngamuk hubby..kikiki.. kita cuba, sedaya upaya okey..sbb i love blogging, and i choose to blog..whom ever makes fun of me, i don't care..(org melayu kata..ader aku kesah..) I have a belief that things happened for a reason and I blog for a reason..that is...to meet more incredible friends!!!!!! (*wink*)

Sabtu..bangun pepagi..sebelum buat breakfast..dah kena masak kek batik.. Ni request Aizam, sejak 2 mggu yang lepas..dia kata Teacher Ain kat RKidz selalu buat kek batik..Petang jumaat tu, bergigih lah benti kedai beli biskut marie..Ni 1st time buat nih, and resepi tu pun dari teacher tu..rasa chocolate dia agak kuat, may be sbb guna koko tue..next time i nak try guna milo pulak..

Bahan2:

250gm butter

2 tbsp corn oil

1 can condensate milk

1tsp vanilla

1 packet 3 in 1 milo

1/2 cup of van hauten cocoa

2 eggs (whisk a bit)

1 packet of biscuit marie

Cara2:

Cairkan butter + oil dalam pan, with slow heat. Add in cocoa and stir. Add in milk + vanilla + eggs.

Let it simmer a bit + biscuit.

Pour in a baking pan and press firmly --> chill before cutting.

And, mmg betul Aizam suka kek batik ni...dah nak abis pun dah..tinggal 4 squares je lagi..okey, nanti mummy buat lagi..senang jer pun..

Tengah hari pulak, one of the baker blogger yg tgh house hunting, came to my house nak tgk condition of our house..kut2 berkenan, bagi tahu lah ye MAM..bagi spesel price for you...:)

Petang nya pula, buat Congo Bars..Recipe is here! Omitted the nuts, coz hubby tak suka nuts campur dalam cake/cookies. But, I put a side a cup of the batter and pour in a small baking tray, adding walnuts..and wallaaaa..tasted much better!!!!! Chewy, gooey, crunchy..

Malam is homework time..and Iman, tu je lah 'homework' dia pun..kaler, kaler, kaler.. At this time Aizam refused for his photo to be taken..merajuk..sbb berebut sharpener dgn Iman..Tu la yg susahnya sekarang..semua barang keperluan Aizam kena ada juga utk Iman..kalau tak kang, cenggini lah jadinya..gaduh jer..

Ahad pagi, seperti biasa, hubby g pasar..and I akan bersihkan dan pack segala benda2... tadaaaa....lauk utk seminggu...ikan mambong mmg fave Iman..klu goreng gitu, mau 2 ekor utk dia sorang..

Lepas jer lunch, hubby dah busy monitor our 'lil cottage'..baru 2 week start construction works, tengah tambah sana-sini sket..hopefully by raya this year dah boleh pindah..yea...suka sgt rumah ni..I have many plans for this house..nanti i'll update accordingly yer..Nak tahu sapa ID and PM for this house????

ID - Zatil, PM - Mr hubby.....nanti tgk okey, sentuhan zatil..kikiki..

Tapi, Aizam tak suka..dia kata semua kawan dia rumah 2 tingkat..nanti rumah dia je setingkat...

Senang Aizam, tak susah payah kita naik tangga..hehehe..

Sekejap jer weekend..and here we go..another Monday tomorrow..

Have a good week semua!!!!

and it's Friday again!!

2011-02-25T08:05:00.065+08:00

Masa amat mencemburui saya.

Pagi kul 6 bangun, siapkan segala aneka benda..8 pg semua skali naik 1 car, drop Iman at RealKids, pas tu drop Aizam & Zarif at Rkidz. Lunch hour, kuar ofis amik Aizam at Rkidz, amik Iman at Realkids, hantar Aizam kat sekolah kebangsaan and drop Iman kat Rkidz. Petang balik ofis, amik Iman & Zarif at Rkidz, kena cepat2 and amik aizam kat sekolah kebangsaan. Sampai umal kul 7 lebih..dinner, homework, clean up.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..

Bila malam, nak ngadap PC pon x leh buka mata dah..and kasihan pulak anak2..dah seharian kat sekolah n taska..balik rumah time tu lah nak meluah segala cerita kat skool memasing..pensil hilang, butang baju tercabut, air tumpah, botol air ketat sgt..macam-macam..mesti kalau dengar me and hubby kluar air mata gelak..

Aizam, mmg reporter terbaik..

"Mummy, teacher slalu biar Zarif nangis..""Mummy, teacher buat kasar2 je kat Zarif..""Mummy, teacher mandikan Zarif mesti nangis.."

Ermmm..bukan tak nak dengar cerita Aizam, biasa lah Aizam sensitive bila orang lain jaga adik dia, but rasanya teacher kat Rkidz boleh dipercayai..so far kat Rkidz Zarif being taken good care of..then good to have Aizam monitor adik dia..

Iman dengan cerita lawak dia..

"Mummy adik swimming, adik tenggelam, adik tarik kaki org.." "Mummy adik bagus kat skool..adik pandai tulis nama adik.."

(bila mummy suruh adik tulis)..OSO.. (nama cartoon kat disney channel)..even kat dalam game pon Iman tulis nama dia OSO..tapi kalau suruh betul2..Iman can spell his name dah..

Zarif dengan cooing and sengih dia..

Even tengah hari kalau drop Iman, sure I jumpa Zarif sekejap..kemain excited Zarif, start lah cooing dia, nak mengadu la tu..sian baby mummy..

Zarif dalam kete..byk gerak, so gambar x clear. But, i cam suka pulak gambar gini..

And yeay it's Friday! and of course weekend ni..akan blog walking..and thanks sis tim & kak ieda tag untuk contest..akan saya buat weekend ni yer :)

Sharing is caring...sesambil tu, nak share antara amalan sunat yang digalakkan pada hari Jumaat..

1. Memotong Kuku

Islam amat mementingkan kebersihan dan kekemasan.

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang bermaksud,
"Lima perkara daripada fitrah iaitu berkhatan, mencukur bulu ari-ari, mencabut bulu ketiak, memotong kuku dan menggunting misai."
(Riwayat Al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

Persoalan kebersihan hendaklah diberi perhatian pada sepanjang masa terutama pada hari Jumaat kerana pada hari tersebut kita akan pergi beramai-ramai ke masjid dan berjumpa dengan saudara seagama. Sudah tentu kita tidak mahu dipandang hina oleh orang lain hanya kerana kita tidak mahu menjaga kebersihan dan kekemasan diri.

2. Membaca Surah al-Kahfi

Sunat membaca Surah al-Kahfi pada malam dan hari Jumaat.

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang bermaksud,
"Sesiapa yang membaca Surah al-Kahfi pada hari Jumaat, nescaya dia akan dikurniakan cahaya di antara kedua-dua Jumaat berkenaan."
(Riwayat Al-Hakim dan Al-Baihaqi)

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w lain yang bermaksud,
"Sesiapa yang membaca Surah al-Kahfi pada malam Jumaat, nescaya dia akan dikurniakan cahaya di antaranya dan Baitul `Atiq."
(Riwayat Al-Baihaqi)

3. Memperbanyak Doa

Doa adalah senjata bagi orang-orang yang beriman. Kita mempunyai ramai musuh sama ada di dalam atau luar diri kita, di samping berhadapan dengan banyak cabaran sepanjang hidup kita. Sehubungan itu, kita amat mengharapkan pertolongan dan rahmat daripada Allah s.w.t untuk menghadapi segala ujian ini. Antaranya dengan cara berdoa.

Kita digalakkan untuk banyak berdoa, apatah lagi pada malam dan hari Jumaat terutama sekali semasa waktu-waktu mustajab berdoa. Di antara hadis Rasulullah s.a.w mengenai perkara ini ialah

Sabda baginda yang bermaksud,
"Waktu mustajab berdoa itu ialah masa di antara imam duduk sehingga selesai solat."
(Riwayat Muslim).

4. Berselawat

Berselawat ke atas Nabi Muhammad s.a.w
Pada hari Jumaat, kita juga disunatkan supaya banyak berselawat ke atas junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.

Sabda baginda yang bermaksud,
"Sesungguhnya hari kamu yang paling utama ialah hari Jumaat. Maka perbanyakkanlah selawat ke atasku pada hari itu. Sesungguhnya selawat kamu akan dibentangkan di hadapanku.""

Wallahualam..

Have a good weekend to all!

2011-02-20T16:28:00.001+08:00

Sabtu, Shaman & Umar (our neighbor), cross over memain dgn Aizam & Iman.. Yang paling kecik, of course Iman, tapi dia yang control semua org..hehehe..Aizam dia neutral, so he's the peace maker...boys kalau main, tak kisah..ape je ade, boleh jadi bahan main..Seronok tgk bebudak ni main..Both my left and right neighbors, anak diorg semua boys..hahaha..lorong ni mmg ramai boys compared to girl..

Ahad, pun tak kemana..supposed Aizam and Iman pergi mengaji rumah ustaz..tapi ari ni ustaz ada hal..so..mmg kat rumah je semua org..

What made me occupied was, a friend of mine ordered moist choc cake..(my 1st order for 2011!)..tapi dia nak campur dgn walnut..in the cake as well as on top of the cake..(my fren preggy 7 mnths..ngidam walnut!!), so kul 5 pagi start baking, so by 7 am bila Zarif bangun, semua dah settle..wallaaaaaa..TQ for ordering Azira..

Nak ikutkan mmg bz n penat -------- tengok2 gak cermin, takut juga kang tiba2 bertukar jadi dino-bee..hehehe..but then baking + cooking are my passion..suka sgt...suruh la i bake 10 cakes pun take pe, dari lipat sebakul kain...(sangat x suka lipat kain)...hehehe..seminggu oven tu tak panas, i yang panas hati...

Last few days..

Jumaat..dah start keje..bukak je email..terus berdenyut kepala..ada almost 1 thousand e-mails utk dibaca dan kena amik tahu....mail box pun dah full..nasib baik ingat password..hehehe..

Sabtu & ahad..kepala still sakit lagi...rehat je kat rumah..risau juga..bila check BP, ok jer..

Isnin..still pening..balik je rumah, tidur awal..ape tak nya, dah 2 bulan bersuka ria kat rumah..tetiba kena klamkabut..kena do critical thinking balik..well, yes it's good for ur brain to exercise..but then, too much of everything in short span of time just made me shattered..

Selasa..alhamdulillah cuti..rehat dan rindu sangat nak buka blog..bila dah buka tak sah la kalau tak blog walking...yippeeeee..blogging makes me happy..

Rabu..hope everything is better! Started the day with a cup of black coffee..I need the caffeine to jazz up my work!

As for Zarif, the transition was adaptable to him..Zarif was a super kid! Alhamdulillah dia ok on his first day at nursery..he knows mummy had to work. Menangis biasa tu mmg la ada..tapi Zarif tak meragam..

Zarif at 2 months..relax and cool, even bila time nak kena g nursery...

Syukur kepada Allah SWT

2011-02-11T20:01:00.001+08:00

Jumaat yang mulia.

Syukur alhamdulillah kita masih lagi sihat untuk menjalani hidupan seperti biasa. Allah SWT masih memberi kita peluang untuk menjadi yang lebih baik dari semalam.

Untuk peringatan pada diri saya terutamanya dan kita semua.

Allah S.W.T berfirman ”Sesunguhnya jika kamu bersyukur, pasti kami menambah (nikmat) kepadamu. Dan jika kamu mengingkari (nikmatKu) maka sesungguhnya azabKu sangat pedih”.(QS. Ibrahim:7.)

Ada 2 ekor semut, dalam kepayaan untuk sebutir makanan. Sememangnya, tiada 'kerja' senang di dunia ini.

Waallahualam.

Demi Susu Anak

2011-02-10T20:44:00.000+08:00

Just a short and quick entry..pasal susu jugak..susu oh susu..tetiba byk pulak cerita perihal susu, 2-3 hari ni..

Just to update, from previous entry, susu yang kami order tak dapat tu dah dibuat police report..ermm let the police do their job and let Allah shed some light to the liars..

The other story;

Well, petang tadi we went to MyLife Baby store @ BJ to get Zarif's necessities for the nursery tomorrow..

So bila masuk jer kedai tu, there are pictures of wanted person. I asked the sales lady and she told me a group of 7 (4 women + 3 men), masuk kedai tu, sorang tanya macam2 kat kaunter, the rest kebas susu to the amount of RM7000! Semua bertudung, and they hid the susu in their clothes. Unimaginable.

Ya allah..kenapa lah sanggup sampai nak mencuri susu..I dont know whether they stole the susu to use or to sell them out. I strongly feel they are selling the susu at extreme cheaper price..

Susu mmg mahal, Enfalac A+ sekotak dalam RM 58-63 (depends on shop)..sekotak tahan la1-2 week..just imagine sebulan berapa hinggit..So kalau ada susu murah mesti ramai yang nak beri right! Now I know, where the cheaper susu came from..stolen susu??

Will never get cheaper product..u just dont know where's the source..ditto.

Ini amat menyedihkan tau..

1. People are desperate and in tight situation, they would do anything to have money for the family.

2. Halal haram diketepikan sama sekali. tak kisah pun barang/duit haram jadi darah daging anak/isteri.

3. People are not afraid to commit such crime. They are super-invisible and think they will not get caught.

Life is hard, yet that's not the reason to commit such shameful crimes.

Roasted Almond Gold Whittaker's is a Must Try

2011-02-10T08:05:00.023+08:00

I am a chocolate craze..sama lah dengan Aizam and Iman..While hubby suka beli and tengok kitaorg makan..

Aizam prefer chocolate with nuts, while Iman prefer plain chocolate. Chocolate they could finish within minutes, tapi gegula (lolipop ke, candy ke) lambat sgt nak abis..Tu agak nya gigi Aizam and Iman still in good condition. :D

Lately ni so often dia ke Jakarta and found 'new' jenis chocolate at the airport. First time beli aritu macam pelik je wrapper dia. And the shape macam gold bar, membuatkan bebudak kureng nak makan..besar sgt..tapi bila diorg tgk mummy makan tak henti, and tried them self..hahaha..baru tahu sedap banget!!!

Last night hubby bought 2 packets of these chocolate bar..A packet is approx 48,500 rupiah..Ermm berapa hinggit tu..kena carik converter la..

Pernah try cecari kat KLIA tak de pulak..sesape nak kena beli kat Jakarta Airport le or gi New Zealand ..hehehe..

This chocolate was made since 1896 in New Zealand..Alhamdulillah ingredients dia tak de emulsifier 471 or 472..instead soy lecithin.. Sesapa yang take aware, e471/472 ni ada element animal so, since it is made oversea, halal ke tidak the animal is questionable. So any food with e471/472 made oversea, dikira tak halal.. Wallahualam..

Satu bar of chocolate consist of 1103 calories & 18.4 g of fat..hahaha..zatil..tok sah makan tau! Secubit jer...Selebih tengok jer!

p/s: Pernah try Beryl's Almond Bittersweet Choc yang dalam botol tu? Errmmm tu pun sedap!!
