THE MIST

Written on Tuesday, July 15, 2008 by mummyvaio

Semalam mummy n the hubby watched THE MIST..a movie adapted from Stephen King's novel..citer nya agak menariks jugak walaupon ada la part2 yg tak sesuai untuk tontonan anak2..or preggy ladies..aksi -aksi kimochi warui...ergghhh...well..the ending was quiet contoversial..!please do not read if you have not seen the movie...

the hero telah berjaya lari from that main scene with few people with his son...why do you have to make him kill all of them????grrr.....why..why...why...he had made it that far..nape tak ganbare je...at least ganbare dulu..kalau mati pon kene makan ngan monster itu..dah try the best...!geram...geram...

but then we realize that maybe stephen king memang saja make that controversial ending..why not?right?..if its a happy ending..people will see the movie/read that novel...just like any other movie/novel...with this ending he made such an impact....that people will response more...or maybe gonna read his other novel...to know about his other stories...humm...

far more important..we learned something from this movie...jangan berputus asa...even if when everything seems hopeless..there is always a way...n suicide is not an easy way...sumtimes the harder way will make you a better fighter!

yosh!aja-aja fighting!

p/s : ganbare cari keje mummy...!!

your baby's personality

Written on Tuesday, July 08, 2008 by mummyvaio

my baby has two personality..
1- when she is at home she is cheerful,talkative,manja,active,wanna do things by her own,express her emotion very well..though very dependant on me....

2- when she is out...for example...kenduri,party....where the crowd is pack...she becomes very clingy,quiet,n cried everytime someone she does not recognize approach her...

i was very worried...but i was careful not to label her as shy,or scared of people...instead when people ask,i usually tell them she need time to warm up to people...n i do not push her to accept new people if she does not want to..what a mum can do is observe her baby...i realized that when people ignore her first while chatting to me...fareehah will observe them very cautiously...as if to judge whether this person is a threat or not...when she thinks its okay,she wil be willingly talk,or share her things with them...this apply to adults...as when she is surrounded by other toddlers she was very interested looking at them...n rarely cried..

nowadays she is able to accept new people faster...and i am thankful for that..i once ask my health visitor about her reaction..n she tells me not to worry..as she said some baby has strong need of personal space..just like adults..i hope it won't be so bad when we first got home...this September..

p/s: we just got our first customer!..she pre-ordered two of our books eventhough she know we can only delivered them in november.yey!!

What is your reason?

Written on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 by mummyvaio

Last weekend while walking home from grocies shopping,hubby asked me...what are my priorities when chose to walk to town,etc...

1- its a good day today..lets walk
2- its very economical
3- its good for my health

well my answer is...

it depends...when the sun is shining so brightly i could not resist to walk outside...since the weather here is so unpredictable...so everytime the sun shine oh so brightly...lets go out baby!...but when its not so good weather...not so bright but we still can walk outside...the priority becomes economical...i mean why waste 4 pounds to go n back from the town..when its not soo far away..?why..why...well...if everyone else wants to do that its their money anyway..so i really don't care...so as you may suspect..the health always comes last...hahaha...

everytime we go anywhere we always bump into malaysians in their cars..they always honk n wave at us..n we wave back..hehehe...everytime (which is not so frequent anyway..) we go to carboot sale people always ask us..if we have bought a car...or with whom do we come...n the answer are always..nope..we come by the bus...

maybe actually i like to walk around...humm...never thought of that..so if you choose to walk around like me...what are you reasons ehh?

bana harumaki,anyone?

Written on Saturday, June 21, 2008 by mummyvaio

This is a recipe that i learned whilst working as a waitress in Rasa Sayang restaurant,Fukui. It is a modified version of pisang goreng so it is more acceptable by japanese people..more presentable more likely. We called it banana harumaki...n it is very simple to make...may be served with tea...or as a dessert to accompany the main dish.


To make this simple dessert you will need banana,sugar,crunchy peanut butter ( but if not available the smooth ones will do ), n kulit popia...i forgot what it is called...hehe..

Just spread a spoon of peanut butter onto the popia skin and put the banana...you can split the banana into half or quarters...which ever you like...and sprinkle a pinch of sugar...fold the skin...put it into a plastic bag and freeze them in a freezer for a night at least..

when you want them,heat the oil..wait until the oil is hot..take out the bananas and fry them really quick..just until the skin is brownish...serve hot...but the bananas will be cold you will feel like eating ice cream goreng!

can be kept in the freezer for about 3 months,thus handy to have in the house for a quick serve if sumone comes over!

terima kasih kerajaan Malaysia,sebab menambahkan penderitaan rakyat...kalu ikut mummy suruh potong sumer elaun-elaun diorang...setakat 10% elaun keraian apa la sangat..tapi tak puas ati pon bukan depa nak dengar pon cakap rakyat ni kan...so untuk diri sendiri dan keluarga kami bertekad untuk jimat setakat mampu bila balik mesia nanti...tak lama pon lg tiga bulan je nak balik dah...tuh dok mengira-ngira nih...

1- mkn di rumah lebih banyak...
that means no more kfc,pizza hut,secret recipe,etc...teringin kfc beli je la tepung kfc goreng kat umah...nak mash potato rebus sendiri le n mash le sendiri...secret recipe?...no thanks...hubby kata mummy wat kek setanding jugak ngan secret recipe tuh...everything will have to compromise beli brand yg tak le glamour sgt...

2- diapers...
considering untuk guna cloth diaper setiap masa bila ada di rumah..paling bagus once fareehah dah pandai cakap toilet train dia secepat mungkin!

3- keter..
ni tak tau lg cane...sbb mummy tak dapat keje lg n hubby pon tak confirm lg belaja kat mana...tp yg pasti nak belaja kat mesia...( jimat sket duit rakyat...tp kitorang je pikir camtu...org lain tak tak leh jugak.. ) sesapa nak sambung master/phd tak yah le gi oversea..sambung je kat mesia..kalau 1st degree holder je layak..setakat 2nd upper mcm mummy ni...sambung je la kat mesia ye! hubby kater kalo kene sambung kat usm, nak carik umah dekat ngan usm so that leh pegi balik keje naik beskal...hehe...ganbatte hubby!bandar baru dekat ke aa ngan usm...( kene tanya pocket ni ) kalo jalan kat mesia mmg sumer lengkap dengan pejalan kaki punya jalan...mummy memang tak kisah je tolak stroller fareehah ke sana-sini...tgk2 jugak ngv installer...kot la mampu nak install kat SiR hubby tuh...kalu balik kampung jimat sket...hehehe...kene survey lagi pasal ni..

3- children education
yang ni tak le wat ape...sbb memang kena upgrade..kitorang ingat blk mesia ni nak up sket fareehah punya education saving..tp kene kira budget...sbb kalo sono mama...mcm takat lepas first year kat uni je...blum campur adek2 fareehah lg ( kalau ader rezeki )...education is very important...so bab nih tak le compromise la..buku2 bacaan sumer kene beli yg second hand je la kot...sekali-sekala beli yg new n shiny ones ye..

4- baju n accesories
mummy memang jarang shopping baju n accesories nih..tp kalo keje kene bajet btul-btul jugak...baju time bujang dulu entah2 tak muat dah...kalau ikut hati malas je nak beli baju baru..tp orang tgk kang dier nih dari form 4 asek pakai baju nih jugak..apa kes?mungkin bole...kene besarkan pinggang sket kot...sayang baju-baju tu...elok lg..baju fareehah tak le la beli brand2...mungkin kene borong bila balik parit buntar...sana murah...hehehe..make-up?n lain-lain...lamooo dah tak mekap..yg dulu punya pon tak luak lg...hehehe...so pakai je la..

5- sambung belaja...
keadaan ekonomi sekarang macam tak memungkinkan mummy sambung belaja...so sekarang cari keje...tp still usha jugak oppurtunity belaja...nak sambung master...terlalu money n time consuming...so instead nak wat professional diploma...part time...13 months...okla kan..dah jumpa few tempat kat penang n selangor...admission pon twice a year..so kalu tak leh sugu belaja pon tak pe..so skrg tgh tgk hubby n mummy punya work n study condition..nanti kalau ader rezeki baru sambung ke peringkat master/phd plak...tu pon nak buat local je...kalo ader master/phd n work experience nanti mungkin satu hari bole capai cita-cita keje sendiri...hehe..ouh...luper lak mummy nih cadang nak belajar dalam bidang early childhood education...or did i tell you already?

apo lagi aaa....hummm nanti ingat sambung lagik...la nih hari2 bukak jobstreet je keje...cari keje area penang,kedah,selangor....mana2 dapat sambar je...harap2 dapat le...doakan ye...

eh...selangor dapat air free ekk...20 meter padu tuh banyak ke aa...dulu masa duduk umah sendiri tak nah pulak belek bil air tuh betul2...kalau banyak...ringan sket beban org selangor...=)

okla..night-night everyone...esok2 kita cerita lagi ye.

better weather..?

Written on Thursday, June 05, 2008 by mummyvaio

today was a great day for outdoor activity.we went to the park near our house n played fun tennis!yey!sungguh seronok.fareehah was excited watching us playing.then she walked around the ground..yey!finally nak jugak dia jalan kat luar...maybe the weather was great, n she does not have to wear so many layers of clothes!she was busy toddling,when that big dog came.fareehah tengok je anjing tu..tapi tak nangis...last2 dier suh mummy dokong dier...n tak mo jalan dah.so we packed our things n jalan balik..pusing2 jap keliling padang n singgah iceland,beli barang sket.then we took a long route balik umah...

semalam read the news in utusan...malaysia naik lagi harga minyak...fuhhh...pas ni kete yang laku cuma keta ber cc rendah la ekkk...kete cc besar tak larat la nak bayar minyak..huhu...keter atos mummy kalo full...dlm 40l kot...dlm rm110 kana....mak aiii...lepas ni sumer orang dok rumah je la tak jalan-jalan naik kete....hubby kata ader org wat comparison harga minyak mesia with other negara yg mengeksport minyak...memang mesia paling mahal...banding arab saudi,or venezuela n nigeria n few other country...maybe the fact that malaysia eksport minyak ke luar...tapi for petrol usage dalam negara still beli from luar mempengaruhi...plus taraf hidup rakyat di setiap negara yang berbeza kan...anyway...economicians yang lebih layak jawab berbanding mummy yg tak der pengetahuan dlm ekonomi...

sekarang pon bila tgk bbc news kecoh pasal food shortage around the world...adakah mungkin boleh berlaku harga makanan naik tinggi sehingga yang mampu kita makan hanyalah ubi kayu mcm masa perang...dan mereka yg bercucuk tanam sendiri akan jadi org paling mewah?humm...atau yg berlaku sekarang ni hanya propagaanda kuasa-kuasa besar dunia...tak tau la...

ganbatte to us!the world is getting wierder everyday...

job hunting,etc...

Written on Sunday, June 01, 2008 by mummyvaio

out of 19 jobs i applied on jobstreet, already 4 are in unsuccessful status.these are the reasons i think why i was not considered :

1- i am over qualified for few of them
2- do not have experience for the jobs i applied.. ( since i am switching my work field drastically ) well if u don't give me the job..how would i have the experience...
3- i stated that i will be available in september...so that is not good ehhh...
4- i stated that i am not in malaysia right now,but will be back real soon!....

anyways,quite suprising to know that most of the my jobs application has been viewed more than once...ala-ala macam nak amik je..tp sbb all the reasons...still considering...tak de la tgk sekali je terus tak minat..one employer even viewed my resume 5 times!...hehehe...anyway sekarang just test market...one or two months before balik mesia,will do job hunting more aggresively.!yosh ganbare!

still tak melupakan hasrat nak sambung belaja balik...is considering very much to do part time study...sebab..mendapat contoh my brother, yang tinggal lagi satu paper je nak abes ACCA dier...wat part time tuh!memang gigih...salute...lama jugak dier nak abes sumer peksa tuh..ramai orang start amek ACCA tp tgh jalan fed up n tak larat..tp my bro can do it!pokok pangkal,jangan putus asa!..gud luck for ur last exam ee!kalau lulus belanja la kitorang makan sate...hehehe...

as for my little brother...hope he can pursue degree this time...cian dier lama nunggu...padehal result bagus...tak de rezeki nak wat cane...tak sempat le nak pau baskin robin cani....aiseehh..

n my lovely little sis....anda sungguh gembira dengarnya keje kat um yer..bagus-bagus...nanti abes master sambungle phd plak...hehe...i know u can do it!...at least tak kene call memalam buta ( pkl 2 or 3 am kdg2 tuh ok..suh dtg kilang.. ) suh cek mesin mcm masa kat kilang dulu ye tak..

to my beloved hubby plak...i love u...selamat ganbare abeskan dissertation projek...hehehe...nanti leh balik mesia...yeyey!

busy weekend

Written on Monday, May 12, 2008 by mummyvaio

kesian fareehah.on saturday n sunday mummy busy wat keje..main sket je ngan dia...tp nasib baik dier tak meragam sangat..main happily dekat ngan mummy...=) mummy busy update resume n cari keje la...maklumla,dah setahun tak keje resume dah berabuk...kene make-up sket la resume tuh..tukar2 sket apa yang patut.since kitorang made a decision to look for another alternatif place for hubby sambung belajar ni kan...byk la plan lain plak bertambah.ouh...lupa nak citer..beside japan n uk..kitorang juga decide untuk apply phd kat malaysia university...bukan apa...economy n family wise...it is a good alternatif kan.da kara koso,if rezeki kami bukan di uk or japan...mungkin ader rezeki di malaysia ...n mummy have to go back to work la...agak bagus juga kalo balik mesia,sbb mummy leh build up my career path sooner.kalo dok oversea n tak dapat keje yg menuju ke arah my aim career...agak susah la nak cari market bila nak cari keje semula...lets say 3,4 tahun lagi kan...prospect employer pon tgk resume...nampak tak kukuh je...browse juga jobstreet..( mana lagi..that is one of the job portal ) ...tgk2 byk ke keje yg mummy nak try tu...ader la jugak...tp knowing jobstreet...bukan ari nih kita mintak,minggu depan dier panggil interview...kadang2 lama baru tau dapat ke tidak...depend on company tu punya vacant urgency jugak..beribu orang apply keje from jobstreet kan...bukan kita sorang anta resume kat dier....

kalo tak dapat full time job,buat sementara nak mintak jugak kumon tuh...location pon menarik...just waktu keje la pelik sket...3pm-9pm....ada ke nursery leh anto anak 1pm-6pm aa?harus mummy search gak pasal benda ni...dulu ader mintak kumon,tp tak dapat sbb terkantoi lak ckp ngan dier nak keje 5 bulan je sebelum fly...ape daaa...haiii interview skill pon dah a little bit rusty ni...

n then for straight two days,dok ganbare with hubby to do a family project.hopefully by sept ke oct ke the project can be launched properly...now a lot of planning n preparation to make..intai-intai market kat malaysia...huummm...will tell about the project when the path is clearer...till then!

one fine day

Written on Thursday, May 08, 2008 by mummyvaio

today is one fine day.did a spring clean-up during the afternoon.fareehah was very happy playing in the room whilst i cleaned, i let her help me with the dishes...or actually i let her play with the bubbles in the sink while i wash the dishes...that kept her amused for about 20 minutes..took me almost one hour to fold the clothes,since she kept unfolding them...haha...maybe she tought she was helping me!...after hubby got back from school we took a walk ( as always..) to watan to buy meat n chicken.on the way there met sakinah n rafiqi ...who were having dinner at dixy chicken ( if not mistaken ) .sakinah said she is dued in 2-3 weeks...must be so exciting!happy for her too..hope everything will be smooth n easy for her.on the way home we took a different route home...fareehah did not want to sit in her pushchair,so we ended carrying her on our arms till we almost reach home.hope tomorrow would be as fine as today,so that i can take fareehah to park to play n practise walking outside.

learning and growing together

Written on Friday, April 25, 2008 by mummyvaio

as my baby grows up day by day....she learns as many things as i learn...recently found a really good website called zerotothree...which give a guide for early childhood education.i was always worried that i started too late to develop her learning skills,as i never seriously use flash cards or teach her alphabets recognization properly...well,reading through this website,somehow i feel assured that my methods are quite right...n not too pushy for her...we bought her some concepts book...abc,words n number books..but we let her browse as she likes it.easier to say..we make her lead her own learning pace.at first she was turning all the pages very fast...she kept on turning the pages,n repeat it again...that i wonder...does this make sense?but i keep saying n pointing a few words or picture here n there as she flipped the pages...then these few weeks...she still flipping the pages...but she will pause at pictures that she likes n point to the pictures,n i will said it aloud...it is very exciting when we come to the animal page...when she points to an animal,i will said the animals name aloud and make it sounds...she really likes the lion...when she points at the lion sometimes she will said "akkkhhh"...hehe...very cute indeed.i use the same method when reading storybooks.some times she just flip the pages.so i only point the pictures at her n tell her what we saw...for some words that can be turned into action...i will do dramatic readings..haha..there is one book that amuses her so much..bear book that describe about a baby bear...on the last page is a picture mama bear tickling the baby bear on his tummy...with the final word "and one tickly tum"...everytime i read this sentence i will tickle the baby bear picture.nowadays everytime i read the sentence,fareehah will said "tickly,tickly tummm"..n tickle the baby bear...hehehe...

i do hope she will love to read,as nowadays she will take her book herself for me to read...i almost never have to initiate reading n looking at books to her..=) she takes the lead,n i follow..n that was stressed in the website...follow your child lead...hopefully i am doing the right thing.

things that we learn from a child

Written on Monday, April 21, 2008 by mummyvaio

we laugh n cherished by their existense...n far more important...the lessons we learn from them...always observe a child..n you will notice their similarity....they are not afraid..they take risk...they are not afraid to fail..when they fail...they continue to strive till they succeed...

a baby who learn to walk fall many times..yet she get up again...she may cry a bit when she fell,yet she is not afraid to try again...n when she succeed,she clap her hands.. :)

we the adults sometimes forget those quality that we too have...not so long time ago...sometimes we fall hard n we are so afraid to get up again...we are so afraid to take next step...worried that we may fail..worried that we will not succeed n crushed the hearts of the ones we love...yes...we have too many concerns..that we forgot to concentrate, n just settle for the comforts of our life...we know we can do more yet we are afraid to take the risk...be brave...if being a perfectionist make u afraid..then don't be...at least for the mean time...look at the world through the eyes of a child..n you will see the difference...you will notice..how blue the sky is,how rough the leaf feel on your fingers...even how the wind changes when it blew on your face...n you will see a whole new world...a world with so many possibilities..with so many wonders that you have forgotten to explore...n not to forget that this life is only the DUNIA...

p/s: this advice is for me...who is counting the days to take a new step...be brave me...

paint recipes

Written on Thursday, April 17, 2008 by mummyvaio

corn flour paint:
1/2 cup corn flour
1/2 cup cold water
4 cups boiling water
colour ( i used food color )

method: add corn flour with cold water,then boiling water.boil in pan for 1 minute.cool.scoup into four container.add colouring ,more to make darker colour.store in refrigerator.

for my fareehah i just add cold water,corn flour and color,because i assume she won't get the idea of painting as soon i introduce it to her.just wanna introduce her to paint,n colors, n what u can do with the paint.

more idea from me:
your toddlers will have so much fun dipping their fingers in the color cause it feels muddy,so why not make them do some experiments..such as combining those color to make new color?you can initiate this by asking them..."do you know that we can make more color using these color?"...or just say "do you want to see some magic show?"

then let say u want to make purple color...dip your baby fingers in blue color and smear in a container..then dip into red color n smear into the blue color...and walla!PURPLE color!!!get the idea?...n give your baby a clap after they manged to transform the color!

happy trying!

fareehah first activity..!

Written on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 by mummyvaio

yey!today i braven myself to introduce my baby to painting.we did cornflour finger painting n bathtub finger painting

fingerpainting using cornflour:

made three colors..blue,red n yellow.i think i was more excited than my baby...she was more amazed looking at me smearing the colors on the paper...hehe...she was very excited to dip her fingers in the paint..than smearing them on the paper.she laughed so hard while watching me demonstrate it to her...hehe..anyway,i was so glad that she looked as though as she was having fun.although the paper was hardly smeared..haha..maybe when she is bigger she will grasp the idea of painting more...:)

bathtub finger paint:

mix some color n hand wash with water.strip down your baby to her diaper.blob the paint into the empty tub n let her play with it!this one is one very good idea.just careful not to let the baby step on the colors cause it is very slippery.fareehah enjoyed smearing the colors all over the bathtub.she laughed so hard looking at the colors she smeared on the bathtub...haha...afterwards we made bubble using the paint too..!n she was excited looking at the bubbles i made.wash the bathtub with warm water n proceed to having your baby daily bath!

did not manage to take pictures...maybe some other time.the recipes for bathtub paint n cornflour paints colud be obtain from the my link i think...the familyeducation link..

pesanan buat anakku

Written on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 by mummyvaio

kerap kali semasa menyusukan atau menidurkan anak saya,saya akan berpesan supaya dia menjadi seorang yang rajin berusaha,berkelakuan baik,hormat orang tua,sayangkan mama n abahnya,n macam-macam lagi pesanan....semoga pesanan itu melekat dalam mindanya sehingga ke dewasa...dari dia berusia dua bulan saya selalu memberi galakkan kepadanya untuk rajin berusaha...dan tidak hanya menangis...bahkan cuba dan cuba lagi hingga berjaya...pada masa itu dia ingin belajar mengiring dan meniarap...setiap kali dia menangis kerana tidak berjaya menggerakkan tubuhnya...saya akan pujuk fareehah dengan berkata..."cuba lagi ye...nak berjaya kena usaha..tak boleh putus asa...fareehah good girl!"...dan apabila berjaya...pujian dan ciuman sayang saya berikan padanya...sambil tepuk tangan..sejak itu dier memang menjadi seorang yang berusaha gigih untuk mencapai semua baby milestone...dia sangat marah jika saya bantu alihkan tangan dia supaya lebih senang meniarap...dia nak buat sendiri..good girl!...

mesti pelikkan orang kalau dengar saya selalu cakap fareehah kene rajin berusaha pada seorang bayi yang kecil...pada saya sangat penting menerapkan semangat rajin berusaha kepada anak-anak kita dari kecil,supaya mereka lebih berdaya saing apabila besar kelak...mungkin juga semangat berusaha itu telah ditanamkan kepada saya oleh ibu bapa saya sejak kecil maka saya juga ingin semangat itu diteruskan kepada anak saya.saya masih ingat mak saya selalu berpesan supaya rajin berusaha,jika nak sama pandai dengan budak-budak bangsa lain.maklumlah,bersekolah di sekolah di mana melayu adalah minoriti...memang susah nak tengok budak melayu menyinar.tapi alhamdulillah,pesanan dan galakan yang berterusan dari ibu bapa saya...orang pon dah boring tengok muka saya naik pentas amik hadiah tiap-tiap tahun...bak kata seorang kawan cina saya..."eh,mesti boring la orang tengok asek muka u aja dapat nombor satu.."...hahaha...saya sengih je...semasa di sekolah menengah juga mak dan ayah saya bagi galakan yang kuat..kata mereka jika nak masuk sekolah yang bagus ( mrsm la...sebab masa form 1 dapat sbp tapi tak pi..) ,n nak masuk universiti yang bagus kene rajin berusaha...walaupon orang kata melayu ni senang nak masuk universiti..tapi lagi ramai yang pandai dari kita...dan kalau kita nak masuk universiti yang kita nak..kene la dapat result yang bagus supaya pilihan itu di tangan kita..budak result bagus saja yang bole dapat masuk universiti pilihan sendiri...alhamdulillah...selepas spm dipanggil interview oleh JPA untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negeri...dan ditanya negara pilihan...jepun,uk atau us...pilihan saya jepun...n the rest u might have guessed already.bapa saya selalu kata...dia tak punya harta atau wang yang byk untuk anak-anak dia...tp dia boleh beri kasih sayang dan ilmu untuk kami...ilmu adalah satu-satunya bekal untuk kami menghadapi dunia ini...tanpa ilmu u are nothing...yes...i agree...parents saya tak pernah take for granted yang melayu nih ada kuota nak masuk universiti etc...walaupon anak-anak die semua jenis memang layak nak masuk universiti..tapi tekankan kene berusaha dengan kuat untuk capai apa yang kami mahu...bukan dengan bantuan "orang dalam" atau orang panggil "kabel"...kalau layak masuk,tak layak...terima lah apa yang selayaknya kita terima...

kita mesti percaya bahawa rezeki dunia ini milik semua...dan milik mereka yang berusaha...tak mengira bangsa dan warna kulit....

draw the line...

Written on Thursday, April 03, 2008 by mummyvaio

ari nie terbaca kisah sufiah..budak genius yg masuk oxford masa dia 13 thn...n what become of her now...kesian sangat...aduh...sedih bila baca how she turns up...nauzubillah...bila baca kisah sufiah makin la risau tentang fareehah n kalau ader rezeki adek-adek fareehah...betapa besar n beratnya tanggungjawab yang di amanahkan oleh Allah kepada mummy n hubby...sangat-sangat berat...ya Allah semoga Engkau permudahkan segala urusan kami...

mummy masih mentah sangat2 dalam hal mendidik anak..yerla..anak kami baru umur berapa kan...tapi...banyak sangat yang perlu difikirkan...7 years from now my baby akan masuk sekolah...so what should i do to prepare her mentally n physically?...i want her to love to learn...to love discovering new things...n love the knowledge that Allah had laid so widely for us to explore...yet i don't want my good intentions to push her over her limits...where do i draw the line...right now i just go with her flow...read when she wants to read...eat when she wants to eat...play when she wants to play...sing n dance when she wants to...sumtimes use flashcards to entertain her...that is all...but since she is going to be one...i am aiming for a more structural schedule....i will still do as she wants...but i hope to slip in a new activity for her once a week...maybe some craft or art or discovery or science or music activity for her...walking in the park a few times a week for some exercise..( anyone care to join me for this activities..?) ...i am training myself to explain more things to her...not difficult things...just simple things in life...why do we have to brush our teeth...what is inside our meal today...simple things like that...n her ask her questions...why do you arrange the blocks like that...right now i am browsing books n websites that teach fun stuffs to do with ur babies n toddlers...have a book or two in mind...maybe gonna buy them..

for a new mummy like me...other people might think other wise..i always think that religion,love and knowledge is the most important...n hubby always remind me to do things the way Islam taught us...to love our children the islam taught us,to give them knowledge the way islam taught us...islam is a way of life..when we are confused n need guidance...islam is the answer...n to make rasulullah s.aw our role model in life...i pray to Allah to open our hearts to be nearer to His path...amin...n do pray for us too ehh..

a scen from sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S....

Rachel: Listen. Sudden change of plans. My maternity leave just ended. They told me that if I didn't come back today, they were gonna fire me.
Ross: What? No, that's illegal. I'm gonna have the labor department down her so fast they won't even...
Rachel: Alright, alright. Calm down Norma Rae. They didn't actually say that. I'm just afraid if I don't come back right now this guy's gonna try to squeeze me out.
Ross: What about Emma? We don't have a nanny.
Rachel: I know. You know, we're just gonna have to figure out a plan tonight. Can you please just take care of her for today?
Ross: Absolutely. Just give me your breast and we'll be on our way.
Rachel: Come on, I don't know what else to do.
Ross: Fine, fine. (To Emma) We'll have fun, won't we? Yes, we will, yes we will. (Gives her a kiss, and the pink bow tapes itself to his head.)

the preciousness of time...

Written on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 by mummyvaio

time is precious...everyone knows it...but we hardly appreciate it until we think we have no time...everyday i have 1~2 hours a day for myself..it occurs when my baby napping in the afternoon...like now...that is the time for me to solat,eat lunch,wash the clothes,tidying the room,surf the internet for some latest news,reading some blogs...surf some more for some info about babies,health,etc...it is a really precious 1 hour...some people might say...well u get a free hour per day...so what..?it makes a big difference to me...because it is the time i can fully concentrate on me...that is the only time i can quench my thirst for knowledge...through the internet...n it does make me more cheerful as a person...

i have no complaints on my own decision to be a SAHM...u luv spending so much time with my baby,but sometimes being a mum to a fussy baby can really put u to some edge...before this my baby only wanted to sleep on my lap...as soon as i put her on the sleeping mat she will scream her head off until i pick her up...so...though she was sleeping ..i could not get anything done...n eventhough i get some time surfing on the internet...i end up having bad backache n neckache...we bought a new pram for her...very cosy one..n can fully reclined down...to be used as her cot also during the day...keep it fuwa-fuwa..n warm...n tried to get her to sleep in there..n it worked!what a relief...n that is how i get my precious 1 hour a day...THE END

kitorang dok terpikir...lambatnya lagi nak beli umah sendiri..ari tuh ader gak usha2...tp sebab kami di sini...susah lah plak nak urus jual beli...so mungkin tak de rezeki nak beli umah tuh...we keep on looking for this time being..to find a place to call home..

pendidikan untuk anak

Written on Wednesday, March 12, 2008 by mummyvaio

i was browsing through susuibu.com ( click to see the website ) forums n came across this forum : muslim home school ( click to see the forum ) ...mummy read n read n cannot stop reading!the subject was very..very interesting....! i dont't intend to homeschool my children...but i do intend to provide them with the basic skills to learn.. listening n obeying rules,talking,reading,maybe writing or drawing,n of course counting...the basics element...not to train them to be a genious...just brushing up their skill to prepare them for school..

when i was small..i could read at 4..which is not so great pon..but my mum was quiet proud of me i think..but i did not learn to write until i was 7 which is when i enroll to school...i still remembered...how terkial-kial i was to write...when all my classmate could write already..( well most of them!)...but it was fun to learn when you were small!hehe...

anyways...back to the forum...it was a hot topic...n so much i did not know...such as buku-buku x-tra,iqra' ( heard of them but never see or used them ),GD products...methods to educate ur children, such as sichida methods,kumon ( very familiar...but not really sure of their methods!very popular in japan though nmalaysia)...n mummies there also gives a lot of tips n website to help to educate children...a few of mummies there actually have genius babies!wow!-there are ways to know if your baby is genius...read from NAGC website..back to education methods,of course using flash card is the most popular methods...i made flash cards for fareehah too..but using powerpoint slide...n show it to her after she is bored playing,reading her her books...or when i don't have ideas to entertain her anymore..it always works,especially when she is fresh from taking her nap!...because i made the slide to change quiet fast about 1 second per slide..she loves to see the slide changes...n using computer seems perfect to me because she cannot touch the slides..i am going to continue reading the forum today...

i was amazed how hard the mama work,to try to homeschool her babies!...terasa diri ini ...amai naaaa...motto ganbarou yo mummy!i am so glad i found this kind of network...which support each other!may this website help more malaysian mummies out there!

plan...

Written on Monday, March 10, 2008 by mummyvaio

hummm...macam mana nak mula yer....errr....aaaa....this is about the future...not so far away...bout 6 months from now...that is lepas hubby abes master degree...we are thinking of going back to japan for hubby to pursue his PhD...why japan?nanti la cerita...but it offers more opportunity than UK...generally for our family...n hubby has already found a suitable research lab n a suitable supervisor who already agreed to supervise him verbally...so sekarang tgh proceed dengan prosedur ke sana..for the first six month hubby will become a research student or in japanese kenkyu sei...before taking exam to qualify for a PhD..if he did well,the supervisor will take him as his PhD student...

as for me...my first aim is to sit for ikkyu exam,n pass with flying colors...the exam is held once a year on december,so upon arriving in japan,mungkin tak sempat nak bengkyo...so i plan to take the exam on december 2009...which gives me about a year to study n attend some classes...after that i plan to get me some work...which will make me change my visa to working visa plak...if tak dapat full time job,will get part time job....

as for fareehah,once arriving japan we will search for nursery,kalau dapat yg government punya la...kalau tak dapat yg private pon ok jugak...pasal kalau la boleh nak fareehah able to converse sket2 in japanese..alang2 nak dok nihon 3 thn setengah kan...english n malay gurai we can teach her ourselves..tp nihongo kalau lebih berpeluang bergaul dengan toddlers jepon lg cepat tangkap rashi...walaupon awal2 tu mesti dier blank je...tgk anak2 gaijin lain masa kat fukui...masuk tadika/nursery kejap je pandai ckp jepon...

hujan emas di negeri orang,
hujan batu di negeri sendiri,
baik lagi negeri sendiri...


cantik,indah,senang n maju mana pon di negeri orang,lebih baik di negeri sendiri...di negeri orang tetap dipandang as an outsider,foreigner,gaijin,alien....di negeri sendiri...feels truly at home...hope everything goes well n bole balik mesia cepat...

jaga anak

Written on Thursday, February 28, 2008 by mummyvaio

last night i was awaken by the sound of the door creaking...i looked at the clock...it was 3 am...hubby just finished studying n coming to bed...the baby was sound asleep...me n hubby talked for a while, n he asked my opinion of lefting our children with grandparents while we go to work....n my answer is absolutely no!...WHY?

rasa menyusahkan mak n abah plak...dahlah diorang baru abes penat jaga kita from kecik...nak tambah plak beban kat diorang jaga cucu...kesian la kat diorang...rasa tak patut sungguh mintak parents kita jaga anak kita...masa ni lah diorang ader peluang nak wat apa2 yang diorang nak wat...gi melancong ke,gi kelas mengaji ke,gi aktiviti2 lain ke...dulu sibuk keje tak de masa....lagipon kudrat orang tua nak jaga budak2 kecik tak sama cam orang muda...kalau emergency yang tak de pilihan lain tu...tak pe...kene tinggal sehari due ok jugak...kalau on daily basis...issshhh....tak patut...walaupon diorang insist utk jaga anak...tak nak...

bagi mummy ada syarat kalau nak tinggalkan anak kat umah tok,nenek dier...hubby kene carik maid...maid uruskan anak,n wat keje umah yang patut...tok n nenek just main2 jer ngan cucu...anak nak mandi,makan,kencing,berak,tido maid yang uruskan...bukan tok nenek dier...bole?

paling tak setuju kalau ader orang-orang yang tinggal anak kat parents diorang sebab nak save duit nursery....hiiii...geram je...dah emo plak nih...

kesimpulannya, anak kita..jaga sendiri la...tak le jaga sendiri...pikirla cara lain...tp jgn nyusahkan mak ayah kita lagi...ok?

Written on Tuesday, February 26, 2008 by mummyvaio

e mail forwarded by my sister-in-law...was soo touched,i decided to paste it here...

Suatu hari seorang bayi siap untuk dilahirkan ke dunia...


Dia bertanya kepada Tuhan : ' Para malaikat disini
mengatakan bahawa besok Engkau akan mengirimkan saya
kedunia, tetapi bagaimana cara saya hidup disana; saya
begitu kecil dan lemah ?'

Dan Tuhan menjawab: 'Aku telah memilih satu malaikat
untukmu. Ia akan menjaga dan mengasihimu .'

Bayi bertanya lagi: 'Tetapi disini; didalam syurga ini,
apa yang saya lakukan hanyalah bernyanyi, bermain dan
tertawa...Inikan sudah cukup bagi saya untuk berbahagia.'


'Malaikatmu akan bernyanyi dan tersenyum untukmu setiap
hari. Dan kamu akan merasakan kehangatan cintanya dan
menjadi lebih berbahagia'

'Dan bagaimana bisa saya mengerti disaat orang-orang
berbicara kepada saya jika saya tidak mengerti bahasa
mereka ?'

'Malaikatmu akan berbicara kepadamu dengan bahasa yang
paling indah yang pernah kamu dengar; dan dengan penuh
kesabaran dan perhatian. Dia akan mengajar kepadamu cara
berbicara.'

'Dan apa yang akan saya lakukan saat saya ingin berbicara
kepadaMu ?'

'Malaikatmu akan mengajarkan bagaimana cara kamu berdoa'

'Saya mendengar bahawa di Bumi banyak orang jahat. Siapa
yang akan melindungi saya ?



'Malaikatmu akan melindungimu; walaupun hal tersebut
mungkin akan mengancam jiwanya'

'Tapi, saya pasti akan merasa sedih kerana tidak
melihatMu lagi'

'Malaikatmu akan menceritakan kepadamu tentang Aku, dan
akan mengajarkan bagaimana agar kamu bisa kembali
kepadaKu; walaupun sesungguhnya Aku akan sentiasa
disisimu'

Disaat itu, Syurga begitu tenang dan heningnya sehingga
suara dari Bumi dapat terdengar, dan sang bayi bertanya
perlahan

'Tuhan, jika saya harus pergi sekarang, bisakah Kamu
memberitahuku nama malaikat tersebut ?'

'Kamu akan memanggil malaikatmu itu: 'IBU '

Ingatlah sentiasa kasih sayang dan pengorbanan ibu.
Berbakti, berdoa dan cintailah dia sepanjang masa.....
Dialah sesatunya harta yang tiada galang gantinya dunia
akhirat....

Dan untuk para ibu, ingatlah kisah ini dikala kamu hilang
sabar dengan karenah anak-anak yang sedang
embesar...sesungguh nya Syurga itu dibawah telapak
kakimu...

finger food

Written on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 by mummyvaio

fareehah started to eat finger food since she is about 7 months old...giving finger food to baby is such a messy job...as most of the food will end up on the floor...but the baby will enjoy it sooo much,they don't even care about anything else...most of the time fareehah has bread for her finger food...sumtimes pear,or banana,or grapes..she will play with her food n practise to put in her mouth using her hands...at first she will put so much,that she cried because her mouth was soo full she could not chew them...but now she can control the size of food going into her mouth better...n chew them good before swallowing them..i think she likes finger food so much because she can pick things with her fingers n pop it into her mouth without me grabbing it away from her...i am thinking to introduce her to more finger food so that she can feed herself with hand better,n its a good motor skill practice...found a wonderful page,n thought to share it with u...here it is --->

pening...

Written on Tuesday, February 19, 2008 by mummyvaio

last night after preparing dinner, i breastfed my baby...whilst hugging her felt a sudden dizziness...dah lama tak rasa camtuh...cepat2 panggil hubby to get me something to eat...yesterday did not eat much sebab baby sangat2 ligat,n bila mama dia makan asek merengek je...so mkn sket sangat...both me n my baby have low blood counts...masa pregnant kan baby my blood count just bawah border...11.0g/dll....lepas bersalin had bleeding yang teruk sebab stitches tu melecet,n blood oozed from there...tuh yang darah byk hilang kot..( sori ye cam ngeri je bunyi nye...) ..masa fareehah about two months, mummy demam teruk....i fainted once...(nasib baik tak pegang fareehah masa tu..) ..bila wat blood test,HB dah makin turun...10.0g/dll...i was adviced to eat regularly,take multivitamin n eat food with high iron...tak lama pas tuh fareehah plak sakit n admitted to seberang jaya medical centre...masa tuh la dapat tahu fareehah punya blood count pon rendah...only 9.0g/dll...( nasib baik,sebab kalau 8.0 or below dah kategori severe anemic n kene masuk darah bila sakit,operation,etc ) sebab blood count rendah doctor kata bila dier sakit akan lambat sket baik from budak biasa,sebab anemic...tp alhamdulillah dok kat hospital tuh 3 ari je dah leh kuar...mungkin she is a fighter,n mummy bg mummy milk banyak2...dengan harapan dier cepat sembuh...sekarang tak taula,HB kitorang dah ok ker tak...tak cek...maybe balik mesia nanti or be4 trying for 2nd baby mummy nak cek darah

so...ape moral citer nih...?sila la makan diet yang seimbang...dan tahu keadaan tubuh anda...n take action untuk elakkan perkara yang tidak diingini berlaku...amalkan gaya hidup sihat! saya syorkan anda semua wat complete blood test kalau HB rendah untuk tahu punca anda anemic...kitorang ari tuh tak sempat...hehe..

ni pon rasa kepala ringan semacam je...jap gi kene lunch nih....bye!

so, i was thinking what should i cook?something not too heavy...since majlis will start at 2.30...end bout 4 pm...but not too light...apo aaa...mummy memang ler tak reti masakan tradisional nih...so i think i will make simple n easy to prepare food..maybe pasta n some dessert...not spagetti...pasta yg pendek2 tuh kot...but gonna make it a little bit malaysian style...sikit pedas...ii kana...then make a choc cake kot...for beverages,some fruit juice n hot tea kot...

Thursday,January 24th 2008...

Journey started with boarding the no12 bus to the monument.baby was constantly in the sling n i have a backpack on my shoulders n hubby a bigger backpack with the wonderful new camera...hehe...got off the bus...n down to the metro...to the newcastle airport.baby slept all the way to the airport after her "teetees"...checked-in with easyJet...n waited in the departure lounge...baby woke up n played a while with her...got on the plane n baby behaved really well.when the plane took off she had her teetees n drift off to sleep again!flight took only 45 minutes...landed safely at stansted airport...n walked to coach bay to go to london city on easyBus...which is not a bus...but a minibus/van...5pounds only!cheap!!!baby slept again all the way to london...n we arrived at victoria station after 6...bought some snacks from sainsbury,n headed to the easyHotel 10 minutes walking from victoria station....baby was very full of energy when we got to the hotel....the room was so small,yet quite stylish...i really liked the bathroom...small n compact...could i have one for daughter's room?hehe...hubby got out again to get us some dinner,found a halal curry shop nearby...n that were what we ate for two days in a row...whatever as long it is cheap n halal...n tastes quite good too!played with baby some more till she was sleepy...n off we were on the bed...zzzzzzzz....

Spend the whole day on the hop on hop off bus...the popular red bus!very convenient since can easily breastfeed baby whilst enjoying the sight n listening to the commentary...luckily we went to london during winter because they have 48hours offer tickets,for 24hours price!!plus we got 2 pounds off each ticket for buying them online...original price was 19.50,n we got it for 17.50...child below 5 is FREE!before that we walked to the buckingham palace n took some pictures...the queen was nowhere to be seen...hummm...so we only took the picture of the guard,which we first thought was a robot!hehe...we hopped off at trafalgar square where a lot of pigeons lepak....there was the national art gallery...free admission yet we did not go in...not much of art appreciators.....,next...tower of london which is not so tall,n quite nice looking castle and tower bridge,which people always get confused with london bridge...the london bridge looks like any other bridge...the tower bridge is the one on most postcards...did not hopped off at london dungeon (scary...n idon't like scary places..) ,st paul cathedral,westminster abbey,big ben n parliament square...just took the pictures from the bus...then stayed on the bus n enjoy the day for another round before retiring to the hotel.

Saturday,January 26th 2008...

Woke up late..had some breakfast...n got on the red bus again..this time following the yellow line...which have live commentary...n very enlightening...i knew from the commentary where prince charles live now n saw his guards marching to n fro his gate...where the canterburry founder live,one of the oldest cafe in london was royal cafe...the london big fire was on the year 1616...( if i heard correctly) there is a garden named key garden...which to enter the garden you have to use a key...n to get a key you must have a property near the garden..n that sherlock holmes house was on 221 baker street ( but of course it was fictional )...what else...ouh n madam tussaud is not the person who made all the wax dolls...she inherited them from her employer (she was a maid) n soon became a collector...interesting ehhh...then we hopped off at haymarket n bough fridge magnets for ourselves,n hopped on the blue line red bus...blue line bus go to royal albert hall,where we hopped off...we wanted to see the kesington palace...but too lazy to walk..n the baby was cranky...we hopped on back n just ride the bus...it goes through a few museum...n harrods...took harrods picture from the bus only...since not interested to shop there.hop off to change to red line again to go to madame tussaud wax museum...that place was packed with people...but able to snapped few pictures..yey!then got back to the hotel n rest.

Sunday,January 27th 2008...
