THE MIST

2008-07-15T00:59:00.003+01:00

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

2008-07-08T11:41:00.002+01:00

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!!

WIMBLEDON 2008

2008-07-07T13:17:00.002+01:00

Tamat sudah wimbledon 2008 dengan juara baru..rafael nadal...hummph..mummy tak minat dia nie..tp oleh kerana dia bagi saingan yg amat sengit kat federer...congrats la ye...cian federer...isk...isk...sumer tak menjadi...truthfully game semalam is the most exciting tennis match i've ever seen...dramatik giler..siap ujan kena tangguh game dua kali...kitorang yg tengok tensen..haha...anyway,ganbatte to federer utk US open lak...silap-silap kalah jugak die nanti kat nadal...lepas ni sapa nak masuk tennis kene body build juga mcm nadal..supaya kuat n leh kalahkan nadal..hehe..

What is your reason?

2008-06-25T17:28:00.002+01:00

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?

2008-06-21T11:45:00.003+01:00

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!

lately...

2008-06-21T11:36:00.003+01:00

lately banyak aktiviti di rumah saja...fareehah selsema plak tetiba...few days lepas her 13 months jab tu..selsema...teruk..ni dah ok sket..tau2 la bila baby tak sihat nih...very2 clingy n cranky...tido mlm pon dier tak selesa..asek terbangun n nangis aje...sehari dua ni dah ok dah...baru ceria sket nak main-main...sekarang main sungguh lasak...paling dia suka main susun kusyen..panjat sofa tolak kusyen ke bawah..tp sbb berat nanti die jerit2 suruh mama or abah tolong...dah susun2 tuh dier pon baring tergolek la atas kusyen tu...suka sangat susun-susun barang ni...susun buku..susun fridge manget...satu jer yg dia tak suka susun...baju!sekarang sebab dah pandai buka tutup drawer mummy simpan baju dia...abes semua dia keluarkan...adehhhh...yang kelakar tu bila orang suh tutup drawer dia tutup, n akan tepuk tangan dier...hehe...anakku comel...hihi..mama sayang fareehah!

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..?

2008-06-05T22:56:00.003+01:00

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...

2008-06-02T15:26:00.002+01:00

job hunting,etc...

2008-06-01T17:19:00.002+01:00

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!

2008-06-01T00:52:00.003+01:00

tadi tengok website pasal bengkung lepas bersalin...tgh browse kat situ ade link pasal tukang urut...esp lepas bersalin...tgk2...terasa plak cam bestnya kalau bole pegi berurut....haaa...mesti syok...huhu....balik mesia nak gi berurut la...huhu...last masa bersalin fareehah la...time kene urut badan ...mak aii...syok giler...bab kene urut perut tuh je...aduiii...cam nak nangis pon ader...sakitnyer...lalala...tp tukang urut yg pandai mmg ada ekk...makcik tu masa dier urut dier kata "anak (fareehah) ni suka dok belah kiri ke...belah kanan ni kosong je..." mummy sengih je...memang btul pon...tp masa urut belah kiri memang la sakit...bila urut kanan sedap je..hehe..aaa....balik nanti akan ku telefon makcik tukang urut...tanya..mak cik nak urut badan leh tak...hehehe..

busy weekend

2008-05-12T12:03:00.002+01:00

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

2008-05-08T23:10:00.002+01:00

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.

adoiii...!

learning and growing together

2008-04-25T12:12:00.004+01:00

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

2008-04-21T13:32:00.003+01:00

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

2008-04-17T15:16:00.004+01:00

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..!

2008-04-16T14:24:00.003+01:00

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

2008-04-08T14:59:00.003+01:00

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...

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..

this make me smile

2008-04-02T14:04:00.002+01:00

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.)

after the scripts on BOLD,my hubby said..."la...pam le.."
hehe...i am so proud of my hubby who is very supportive of breastfeeding..hehe

tu je..

the preciousness of time...

2008-04-02T13:47:00.002+01:00

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

saikin ( seminggu dua nih..) byk sgt rasanya menonton bangumi property investment n home refurbish...hahaha...tp menarik bangumi dia..mcm semalam tgk grand design orang wat umah dlm tanah...mcm umah hobbits...hehehe...very high tech rumah dier...n very suprisingly umah dier tak perlukan boiler!...jimat elektrik n gas betul!...sebab suhu umah dier di antara 16 degree to 23 degree...iaitu 16 degree lowest pada waktu fuyu n 23 degree masa natsu..!so tak yah pasang heater time fuyu n takyah pasang aircond masa natsu!best2...sgt seronok juga tengok bangumi property investment di mana beli umah di auction n refurbish lawa2 with minimum budget n sell or rent it...suka tgk cara2 refurbish umah...to make it appealing for renter n buyers....apa akibatnya tgk byk sangat bangumi cani..?

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

2008-03-12T13:53:00.002Z

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...

2008-03-10T12:26:00.003Z

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...

huhuhaha...

jaga anak

2008-02-28T10:09:00.002Z

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?

ganbatte!

tersentuh hati...

2008-02-26T12:02:00.001Z

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...

Tomorrow...

finger food

2008-02-20T22:01:00.002Z

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...

2008-02-19T12:19:00.003Z

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!

Baby update

2008-01-10T10:34:00.000Z

Its been long since i made update on my baby's developement...quick update since she was born till now...

1 day after born - can lift head when lying on her stomach

1 months ++ - start bay talk while breastfeeding

2 months - start to laugh when talking to mama

4 months ++ - can roll over but could not roll back on her back,can say abah...first nestum,only when back in malaysia because everyone kept telling me to give her solid already.

5 months - can roll over n back

5 months ++ - starting to crawl combat style backwards

6 months - crawl combat style foward

6 months ++ - crawl on her feet n hands, sit on her own,can say abah,mama,tete,dah,adeh....solid once a week since she was not accepting it well

7 months - standing while holding on to things such as sofa,walls..

7 months ++ walking left-right-left while holding on to things

8 months - have one teeth.proper solid twice a day.porridge with veggies n chicken or meat.but she does not like soft porridge,likes it lumpy.

wondering when will she able to walk by her own?before 1 year?or after..talking a proper sentence...haaa...will she always has a loud voice like now?hmmm...time will tell...

Salam muharram

2008-01-09T12:29:00.000Z

Selamat menyambut awal muharram!

Hijrah itu pengorbanan,hijrah itu perjuangan....

Ingat tak lagu tuh...n betapa benarnya...bila berhijrah fizikal atau mental...banyak pengorbanan yang perlu dilakukan.Berhijrah dari seorang isteri kepada isteri dan ibu...banyak pengorbanan dan perlu melalui jalan yang penuh berliku dan banyak cabaran dan halangannya.Hijrah dari seorang engineer kepada pelajar semula..byk juga pengorbanan yang perlu dilakukan...semua pengorbanan dilakukan untuk mencapai sesuatu yang ingin di perjuangkan...paham ke aaa...tak paham pon tak pe la...

Dalam hidup kita,ader give n take..pro n kontra...kiter tak bole dapat semua yg kiter mahu without something yang perlu kita korbankan.Setiap aper yang kiter buat bukan semua betul,positif...kdg2 mungkin aper yg kita sangka btul ader juga salahnya...Me n hubby mahukan hidup di mana kami dapat meluangkan banyak masa untuk anak n bakal anak2 kami...so kami berpuas ati hidup bersederhana...n mummy berkorban benti keje n berjauhan from family di malaysia a few a years utk capai hajat ni.tak kaya duit...tp insya Allah kaya dgn masa dan ape yg dianugerahkan pada kami...family...Ader orang mungkin nak kaya,tp pengorbanan nya mungkin masa terlalu suntuk untuk anak n family...ader orang mungkin nak glamer...ader orang mungkin nak self satisfaction yg bermcm jenis pula lg...lain orang,lain la tujuan hidup kan...pilihan masing2...hmm...

Apapun selamat menyambut muharram...semoga hijrah kite di redhai Allah...amin.

lambat lagi...

2008-01-02T13:17:00.000Z

already 2nd january...too late to wish happy new year?...i have one main resolution this year..

1- to successfully breastfeeding my baby for another 16 months.

any other resolution?...hmm...being me,i know as the days passes by i would always have some new aim throughout the year...hehe...why bother to list them all?...two of my best friends married end last year,n another best friend thinking of having a little one soon!...if three of them get pregnant this year...when we get home...my baby will have soo many friends!!yey...!

tokoro de...i'm so stressed by the fact,that no matter how much time i spend vacuuming my carpet...it does not look cleaner when i'm done....gggrrrrr...something wrong with the carpet, or the vacuum? or me? aggghhh...take a deep breath....

ouh...n my baby has fully recovered...just a little runny nose..she already has one cute teeth..( apparently,the teething also contribute to her feverish...i thought they always come out two-by-two?nope?)...luckily she does not bite me while she is breastfeeding...very alert n curious baby now!...n she loves it when i read the moo-moo book to her!..good girl!

Rainbow cake

2007-12-30T21:08:00.000Z

Just wanna share a marvellous cake recipe i got from mamafami.Really yummy,should give it a try!The original recipe was yellow cake,but i changed it to rainbow cake because i made 5 layered of them with rainbow color,just to make it merrier for the festive,though i think the icing was badly done.It looked funny.Well here goes the recipe...

just done cake

RAINBOW CAKE

Ingredients :

1 cup butter

2 cups white sugar

4 eggs

2 1/2 cups self-rising flour

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Method :

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees Celcius).

2. Grease well 5 baking tray.

3. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.

4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.

5. Combine the milk and vanilla.

6. Add alternately to the creamed mixture with flour, ending with the flour.

7. Mix only as much as necessary. Split batter into 5, mix with some food color.

8. Pour into the baking tray and bake till golden brown.

what is left of my cake the next day....

i made 5 layer,but the yellow layer i left it at home because the cake looks too tall for my taste.Could not get the sliced picture of the cake,cause it was gone when i want to get it at the serving table..the next day cut the leftover cake into two pieces,and sandwich them together with leftover butter cream n have a cake bliss...

betsu bara

2007-12-23T16:17:00.000Z

kalau masa kat nihon dulu, selalu bile ada majlis ape2...girls selalu tanoshimi je tgk dessert...walaupon perut dah penuh dengan nasi,ayam,etc...guys always said...korang leh makan lagi ke...n the girls always said...bole...kitorang ader betsu bara...

kepada yang tak faham bahasa jepon let me explain...betsu bara...kalau ditranslate sebiji-sebiji dalam bahasa inggeris jadi another stomach..so...korang bole la agak sket2 maksud dier kan...frasa ni selalu digunakan oleh perempuan...sbb kami suka makan bende yg manis,such as kek,puding,jelly,coklat...eventhough tadi dah makan banyak...still boleh lagi sumbat sket dessert dalam perut..tak tau la lelaki bole ke tak ader betsu bara nih...( tp hubby cakap lelaki tak leh..) tapi most of the girls/women i know...that is including me...can have betsu bara...pernah baca n tgk tv ader orang buat kajian pasal betsu bara nih...

katanya betsu bara bole terjadi apabila kita nampak benda yang sangat tempting untuk dimakan...oleh itu otak kita akan hantar signal...hoshiii...( nak...nak...) ..oleh itu, otak akan suruh sejenis enzim dalam perut kita untuk menolak makanan yang kita makan tadi ke usus bawah...( usus besar ke kecik aaa..lupa daaa..) ..menyebabkan kandungan gula dalam darah kita turun dan wujudnya ruangan sket dalam perut kita untuk diisi lagi...tapi yang amazing nya...diorang tak tau kenapa perkara nih bole terjadi hanya pada perempuan...lelaki yg diorang test sumer tak le jadi camtu...pelikkan...

tokoro de...aidiladha this year agak sepi...did not went beraya because hubby don't feel well...so just stayed at home on eid...untuk majlis korban balai malaysia ari tuh...kitorang tak terlibat pon dalam masak2 gulai korban...just buat sebiji kek kecik...rainbow cake...n buat air oren...tp gulai kambing ari tuh memang sedap...daging lembut n kuah sedap!!...pandai betul diorang nih masak..mummy tukang makan je..hehehe..kak hasni n along kata diorang ader call mummy raya aji..tp tak angkat...pelik plak..sbb memang tak de miss called pon kat handphone mummy...ni mesti gara2 tak der denpa ( line )...selalu kalau hubby hantar sms...dier dah sampai umah baru la sms dier sampai...sori ne minna...n yesterday, handphone mummy officially dah rosak tak le pakai!!!keypad tak le tekan dah...bole on/off je...lawak...kene air liur budak comel tuh...basah tahap tak bole diselamatkan...sesapa nak call mummy...sile call my hubby ok...

p/s: new year is coming...do u have new new year resolution????

tentang breastfeeding...

2007-12-18T18:45:00.000Z

a few days ago try perah sket susu,nak try bagi sayangku minum dlm cup...tp kuar sket giler!cuak sesangat...alamak...susu dah kering ke..?..terus ganbare blk mkn kurma byk2 n chanto minum susu ari2...tp pastu terfikir...kalau sayangku tgh nyusu one side...the other side mesti meleleh gak kuar...so takkan la tak cukupkan?maybe sebab dah tak pam kot...bg direct breastfeed je maka tak kuar sgt bile perah...tp on the safe side....still ganbare mkn kurma n susu...

tokorode....

pernah tak korang dibagi opinion pelik2 masa breastfeed baby?ni antara yg mummy tak le terima...kalau org ckp camtu mummy rasa...ya Allah...nonsense nyer!

1- kena bagi dua-dua belah...sebab kanan tu makanan...kiri tu air...kalau bg sebelah je baby tak kenyang...mummy jarang sgt bg dua-dua belah...bg sebelah...sampai dier tido,or tak interested...n my baby chubby jer mcm baby yg bg duer belah...ada scientificly nape kene bg sebelah sampai kosong...tp malas nak tulis...

2- baby kene jugak bg air kosong,nanti dier tak suka minum air,or haus,or lidah kotor...bg mummy,takde nye camtu..dah besar nanti mesti dier minum gak air kosong..n kalau haus bg jer la nyusu lg...aper susah...lidah kotor?mulut baby nyusu ni wangi la...bukan cam org dewasa...tak gosok gigi,busuk...

3- susu belah kiri lebih cair dari belah kanan...hummm...mana org dpt idea ni tak tau la...mungkin diorg tak nah pam susu kot...

apapun susu ibu adalah lebih terbaik untuk baby dari mana2 formula milk...wpon betapa mahal...n glamernye brand susu tu...percayala...tu je kesimpulannyer...

selamat menyambut aidiladha..

what if...

2007-12-06T12:45:00.000Z

last night while putting sayangku off to sleep...me n hubby talked about what if...what IF we were still in our previous job in shah alam...our life would be like this :

wake up every day at 5 am...get ready for work...drop off baby in nursery at seksyen 17...where most of people in our workplace drop their baby too...7.30 am till at least 5.03 pm...deal wit all the meetings...n the big machines...n the operators...n me trying to squeeze in some time to pump mummy milk...the nice thing is we (me n hubby) could have lunch together everyday!...at 5.03pm if nothing occurs...( like entertaining some Japanese bosses at production floor whilst they look for our faults! ..or 5S meeting or other PQC thingy..) i could get off work...unlike hubby who rarely gets off at 5.03...cause he dealed with customers complaints..n central QC stuff...pick up baby from nursery n pick up hubby...or drive home if he has to work until early night..if hubby busy...prepare dinner ...entertain baby n wait for hubby to call...maybe between 8-10 pm...pick hubby from workplace...get home...quick dinner...n off to bed...for tomorrow...then on weekend are the two days to squeeze everything for our family...the lepak2 in our home,the shopping,the picnic,the gathering wit frens n family,balik kampung...either parit buntar or klang...

to imagine such little time for our baby!!!...luckily,we are here now...and we are savouring every moment we have wit our daughter...time do fly fast...n they are young,only once..once hubby finish his study...and we settle down back at HOME...life will be hectic again...i wonder what kind of mum i am gonna be...a carrier mum again?maybe...may be not!hummm...maybe should open nursery or sumthing so i can work near home...

Sayangku in the travel lodge!

2007-12-05T11:58:00.002Z

a weekend away from home -1

2007-12-03T12:09:00.000Z

last weekend we went to the notts game...first time away from home..!well..we went there because i'm playing volley...we got up about 4 am,hubby pick up Along n her friend from their homes n sent them to uss..they were going on bus.then back home n pack our stuffs into the car...mean while baby woke up because she heard me woke up...she looked sleepy but she was already tatatete-tatatete...so we changed her nappies n all..n tuck her in her car seat...well,she only sit there for about 2 minutes,n she started to shriek n cried...she wants some mummy milk n wanted to go back to sleep...we waited for everyone at 4.45 am sharp in front of mierza shop.when we arrived nobody was there,so i thought that we were late!after about 5 minutes did we saw people came out from muazzah's house...ouhh...we were not late after all!everyone started to arrived..at about 5 am we departed from fenham...we stopped once at scotch corner service for solat,n continue our journey...baby slept on my lap most of the time...the sun came out...very beautiful...but i could not snap much..n the shots were not so good anyway...we arrived at nottingham university about 8.30 am i think...n it was freezing!!!n packed with people!!!seriously...ramai nye malaysians kat uk!!!

our game started at 12 pm..so we watched badminton first....talk about our game,i played so badly..that i thought maybe it was a mistake i came!all my serves did not go in..arrggghh...anyways,we managed to win 2 games n went for semi-final!!...for semi i did not play at first...our team looked nervous n tense...n the opponent were so good...they even got a coach!unlike us,who only trained once!!!baby was so very cranky n so loud!...she was shouting n crying...n shouting again...i guess she was so tired n could not sleep because all of the noise...n she could not crawl as freely as at home...cian my baby...even when i was playing i could hear her cries...can u imagine how loud she was..?well she is not an easy baby in her own nature after all...so i still can keep calm n tried our best to make her happy.....

ouh...back to the semi....during the game our player was hit by the ball...squarely on her face! one scary moment that was!!!the hit did made her felt dizzy n blue on her eyes...luckily it did not effect her sight...i imagined that if it was me...my glass will get in my eyes...errr...scary thoughts!well, i got in...n not being any much help...huhu...we lost the game...but personally i thought...quite an achievement...since other teams looked so prepared n all..so we snap few pics...n packed our stuffs to retire to the travel lodge...

we arrived at the travel lodge n rest for a while...well not actually rest..because the baby got so excited that she can finally crawl freely...she looked almost like having a set of wheel on her...crawling everywhere...so fast...while babling...tatatete-tatatete...n smiling broadly....haha...!we managed to change her outfit...n her nappies n get ready for dinner...abg zaidi n abg rusni family did not go along for dinner...so we have extra passenger in our car....unlucky for them...the baby cried so much n so loud for most of the journey to the restaurant....tried everything to calm her...but she only want her mummy milk...at last she got what she wants...although she looked quite uncomfortable wit her positioning...but at least she did fell asleep...n stayed asleep in the restaurant in my lap...we ordered chicken briyani n chicken tikka briyani...ate n talked...my stomach was so full...i was thinking how lovely it would be to sleep once we were back in the travel lodge....

yet when we arrived in our room...the baby was once again no longer sleepy or cranky!she wants to play.....huaaaa....tried to make her sleep...but she went angry...n i let her play...n watched her crawl everywhere wit my eyes half closed...told hubby to sleep cause he needs to drive tomorrow...after a while,baby banged her head under the bed table...n cried...she had some mummy milk n was sound asleep...yess...finally i can get some sleep!...more post tomorrow for our journey on sunday....baby wants to sleep in my lap...n i haven't yet have my lunch...am hungry!!!...ouh also will uplod pics in my fotopages later...check it out ya!!!

mata ne!

p/s: people keep telling me how suprised they were when they heard my baby loud voice....hummm...is it a positive comment or negative...hummm...weelll...its the family trait i guess from my hubby's side...well maybe it will become her identity here!the loud baby...haha!

2007-11-06T11:37:00.000Z

mummy masih baru di sini...lot of things that i don't get about melayu here...recently hubby byk dpt emel dr maling list orang2 di sini...n i read along...emel yg sgt mencemarkan persepsi mummy terhadap melayu di sini...

mula2 baca emel tentang tak setuju balai uruskan pasal game aper tah...n anjurkan latihan pon tak bole....apa salahnya ( someone has to do it! )...tak rugi..tp untung...bole sesama melayu berjumpa,bermain bersama,mengeratkan silaturrahim...plus...menyihatkan badan....perlu ke berpecah sampai nak main bola satu padang pon susah...hello people..!sukan is sukan...jgn la campur2 dgn fahaman politik/personal dispute masing2...kan lebih meriah main sama2...alahai melayu...

lepas2 tu ader pulak tak puas hati pasal ajk2 balai ( sbb tgh nak lantik ajk baru kot?) ...sampai dibangkitkan perlembagaan persatuan yg kertas hitam-putih nya entah ke mana...dier aje yg betul org lain tidak...sampai berbangkit nama menteri2 lah...bn la...umno la...entah ape2...encik yg kononnya mengaku matured tu mungkin luper agaknya...bahawa perlembagaan bole ditukar,yela undang2 negara pon bole ditukar kan...ni kan pulak undang2 persatuan yg sekecik balai...yg tak bole ditukar hanyalah undang2 Allah...emel2 ni memang sgt tak sensitif terhadap perasaan org lain...dan gaya ckp mcm tak respect org...so jgn harapla mummy nak respect org mcm ni...

dalam emel2 nih jugak ader terselit unsur black mail,n mengata sesama melayu...hiii...allergik btul ngan org camni...bender2 yg ader sikit unsur islamic pon nak repot kat kpt konon...mcm la aktiviti yg dibuat tuh tak elok...usrah kan elok...tpt berbincang hal2 agama,tambah pengetahuan jugak...bukan ajak gi tunggang botol arak...bile dibaca...mummy terasa mcm pengirim tuh mcm tak puas ati ngan one group...agaknya kelab umno sini ader due...mcm dlm buku sejarah kata ape....haluan kiri...haluan kanan..?mungkin group satu lg nih cube wat pembaharuan kot...n dier tak le terima...so dier buruk2kan group satu lg ni...asek kate group baru nih memecah belah..n provoke...ayat yg paling mummy mukatsuku dgr 'hati-hati dgn ...' mcm org2 tuh criminal plak...bukan dier ajak pecah umah org ke...hai melayu...group satu lg pon ala2 dah kene provoke nak melawan jugak...buat keras kepala sendiri jugak...mmgla gaduh tak abes...

yg mummy perasan pengirim tuh suka btul sebut ttg menteri n kerajaan bn dlm emel dier...kenapa yer?adakah cuba nak bgtau org dier berpengaruh dikalangan menteri2...wakannai na....pengirim tuh mungkin lupe...manalah tau ttibe ader waktu yg dier kene minta tlg kat org2 yg dier anti tu...mcm mana...kenapala mcm ni...mungkin biler melayu ramai jer sket kat satu tpt tu begini jadi nye?kat tpt2 ramai melayu kat uk nih mmg begitu ke...?ke melayu di uk?...yg membaca mesti kata...mummy nih pandai ckp je...baru lg kat sini,mana tau citer..mungkin jugak ye...

tp mummy mbandingkan pengalaman belajar di nihon...tak mcm ni pon...mungkin komuniti kami lebih kecil...jd kami lbh concentrate utk berbaik wit each other...buruk2 pasal org sendiri tau diam je la...buat pe hebah kat org...sapa nak jadi presiden pon tak gadoh...sapa nak join umno ke ( kat jepon pon ader kelab umno..)...nak join jepon ke...nak join persatuan agama ke...no hal...asalkan biler diperlukan bagi kerjasama...bila kohai ( junior ) dtg,sama2 btanggungjawab uruskan,bila nak wat ape2 aktiviti sumer turun padang...tak kira golongan ape...team tak ckp member nak wat team bola,impot je melayu uni lain...no hal...nih satu tpt punye org pon nak jadi masalah...hai...kawan2...mari dgr pantun kawan...

"kawan-kawan,kenapa mau lawan,
kita kan kawan,dulu kongsi teh secawan,
kawan-kawan,kenapa mau lawan,
kan ke cukup rezeki tuhan,buat kita ramai-ramai makan."

p/s: kalau org2 ncl baca..ni pendapat peribadi mummy..kalau nak mukatsuku kat mummy pon mummy tak kisah...tak nak tegur mummy pasni pon tak pe...life goes on babe!kalau non-ncl..nilah dunia kan?macam2...

breastfeeding a newborn-part2-confinement piriod

2007-11-01T12:01:00.000Z

After spending a night in hospital,we went back to mum's house.the first day at home,i fell in mybathroom..the floormat was some how slippery...luckily my stitches are not torn...luckily,since i had quite a long stitches...( only swells a bit..but it did made sitting much harder...) my baby spent most of her time sleeping..n feed when she is hungry...however during the day when she cried,her cries were weak sounding to me...i feed her every 2-3 hours...n my milk has started to come in...n boy...my breast felt so heavy...n starting to ache every morning...i would gladly feed my baby every morning to make it less heavy..haha..eventhough she slept a lot she was very good at breastfeeding..she suck so fast..everyone was amazed that this little girl could eat so much,so fast.( she is one strong baby )..then my hubby had to go away for a course in penang..n that was the time my baby started to cried so loud during the nights...it started bout 11...n end about5 or 6 am in the morning...she was unconsoleable...we changed her diaper,bounce her,rock her,sing to her,read her ayat2 al-Quran,walk her in the house...nothing would work...at that time she had reflux...she will spit out,almost every feeding..thus my mum said not to give the breast everytime she cried...n try other method first.,but the only thing she wanted was the breast...once her lips touched the breast,she was quiet n happily sucking..she kept waking every one to one n half our...n cried..n again we will try everything to console her...n failed...only the breast will comfort her...at that time i knew my baby use my breast not only for feeding,but as a source of comfort...like a pacifier..n she would not take any other substitute!(clever girl!) the extreme crying went for a week...n i was sooo sleed deprived,by the end of the week...n was practically begging my husband to come back because i don't think i can manage alone...yet some how..i survived..so everytime she cried,i'll offer the breast first,n when she is asleep again i'll check her diaper n changed it if necessary...n get some sleep after that.the motto breast first,others later become my motto...n it worked everytime...the only thing that remains are her ear piercing cries..( until now )..she never cried with low volume...but with the highest volume..that when she cried people willthink that she is hurt or sick..n for a few weeks...i could predict when she will wake up..n feed her...my stitches still hurts at that time...but making sure my baby is well was more important...a few days before the confinement piriod end,we went back to parent in law house..n the night cries started again...but only for a shorter time...everyone keep suggesting that she was kembung...or hungry...but both were not the case...she just want to suck for comfort...or org utara called 'menggonggong'...she suck for for full one or two hours..n wouldn't want to be put down...i fell asleep half sitting with her on my breast...well that time was hard..but we survived.

moral* no matter how hard the situation might,u'll survive..hehe...

new about sayangku:
yesterday,for the first time she said abah when she cried..usually when she cried,she said mama..n said abah or babah when she is happily playing..

breastfeeding a newborn-part 1

2007-10-30T10:35:00.000Z

when i was pregnant with sayangku,i already made up my mind to breastfeed her.i read a few web page about breastfeeding,n thought it wouldn't be such a hard work...when sayangku was born,we were separated almost half a day before i could hug n feed her...everytime we asked the nurse for our baby...she said that the baby was not warm yet...being a new mother who does not know anything,i just wait patiently for her.she was brought to me about 8pm...n she was sleeping...n i could not help wonder if the nurse have given her any formula milk...when my family came to visit...she woke up n cried a little...my mum told me to pick her up n gave her my breast...n i did...that is where it all started.she sucked a little n quickly fell asleep again.my milk had not come yet at that time,so i don't think that she will suck for a long time.the first time felt wierd actually...to see this small creature at my breast..n her being quickly asleep...does not match the picture i saw in magazines...hummm....bout 11pm the nurse took her back to the nursery because she had a high temperature...n i was dissappointed again to be seperated from her.next morning i got her back about 9 am.i was alone in the room.everytime she cried i would pick her up n give her my breast.but she would not suck long...n quickly fell asleep again..( after a few months i learned that sumtimes baby born with ventouse help would feel dizzy,n spent the first few days sleeping...that could led to jaundice then..) the nurse came in n asked if she had any milk n if i have any milk in my breast..i told her what happened,n she came back with a bottle of fomula milk n told me to give it to my baby if she woke up.after that my parents in law came.everytime the baby cried i would give her my breast n ignore the bottle.at noon the nurse came back n asked us about the bottle...n we get a scolding for not giving her a bottle!at last my mother in law gave her the bottle,n she drank it till its empty...n my heart broke to see that scene...even if it was for a good cause...we got back home to my mum's...i felt better because my mum will insist me to breastfeed her no matter what other people said or think,but that will be another story...so do not feel sad if ur first breastfeeding moment is not as beautiful as shown in the magazine...some people just had a few bumpy ride before it goes smoothly...don't be discourage...always pull urself up back,because that is what mums are...brave people!believe me!next will be my breastfeeding story during confinement...later ya!

Sayangku...the high need baby?

2007-10-21T14:07:00.000+01:00

We have come to a new conclusion...sayangku...might be a high need baby...it is not a bad thing...it is just what she is...this article taken from dr sears web page.The bold ones are sayangku's traits...

12 FEATURES OF A HIGH NEED BABY

"Why is my baby so different? She is not like any of my friends' babies. They sleep through the night. They're happy being held by anyone. My friends don't seem as tired as I am. What am I doing wrong?"
Sound familiar? Your baby acts the way she does because that's the way she is. Your baby acts the way she does, not because of your parenting, but because of her personality.

1. "INTENSE"
You can read the intensity of the baby's feelings in her body language. The fists are clenched, back arched, muscles tensed, as if ready for action. Intense babies become the intense toddlers, characterized by one word -- "driven." They seem in high gear all the time. Their drive to explore and experiment with everything in reach leaves no household item safe. Some high need toddlers maneuver around the house carefully, but most do not. These babies run headlong toward a desired object, seemingly oblivious of everything in their path. Soon it dawns on you that the same behavioral trait that can exhaust you will also delight you. The same drive that gets your toddler into trouble also leads him to a level of creativity toward which other children may not venture. Your job is to help him drive more carefully and on roads that he can handle.
2. "HYPERACTIVE
Parents, remember that, like all the words used to describe high need children, the term "hyperactive" is not a negative tag. At what point a normally active child becomes a "hyperactive" child is a judgment call. Calling your busy toddler hyperactive does not mean he will be burdened with this label forever, or that he will someday be tagged hyperactive by a school psychologist. This term just describes how your child acts, without making any judgment about whether it's good or bad. "Hyperactive" in an infant or toddler is not a disorder, it's a description.
3. "DRAINING"
High need babies extract every bit of energy from tired parents -- and then want more. Though parents use the term "draining," it's not a clear analogy. What you give your baby doesn't go down the drain. Perhaps "siphoning" is a more accurate term because what you are really doing is transferring much of your energy into your baby's tank to help her thrive. You will need to muster up as much of a positive attitude as you can; try to think of these "draining" days as "giving" days. This will help get you through those high-maintenance early months.
Many mothers seem to have an internal energy gauge that magically brings in more fuel just as the tank nears empty. There will be days of incessant holding with no breaks. But just when you feel you can't cope with another day of giving, you get a second wind, and suddenly you can relax and enjoy your baby's unique personality blooming. It's as if baby senses mother's breaking point and backs off a bit. There probably won't be any days off, but some days will be less difficult than others.
4. "FEEDS FREQUENTLY"
As you advance toward your mid-terms in baby comforting, you will soon learn that feeding is not only a source of nutrition, it's an easy tool for comforting. Studies show that babies who are fed frequently, as needed, cry less than infants who are fed on a more rigid parent-controlled schedule. In cultures where babies rarely cry (there are such places), infants breastfeed around twenty times a day. Researchers have attributed the mellowness of the babies in these cultures to the effect of frequent feeding on the overall organizing of the baby's biological systems."Schedule" is not in the high need baby's vocabulary. Early on these smart infants learn that the breast or bottle is not only a source of nutrition, but also a source of comfort. In fact, research has shown that non-nutritive sucking (sucking for comfort more than food) is one of the earliest ways babies learn to settle.
5. "DEMANDING"
High need babies don't just merely request feeding and holding, they demand it -- loudly. This feature more than any of the others pushes parents' buttons, causing them to feel manipulated and controlled. Adults who are stuck in the "parenting equals control" mindset may have great difficulty realizing that babies' demands equal communication, not control.
Being demanding is the trait of high need children that is most likely to drive parents bananas, but it is also the trait that drives children to succeed and excel. A high need child with a corresponding demanding personality will, if nurtured and channeled appropriately during the formative years, exhaust teachers as she did her parents; yet she will also be able to extract from adult resources, such as teachers, the level of help and education she will need to thrive in academic and social endeavors. This is why it is so important not to squelch an infant's expressiveness. The ability to know one's needs and be able to comfortably express them is a valuable tool for success in life.
As the high need infant grows into a high need toddler and child, parents must also help her learn that her demands must be balanced against the needs of others, so that she can learn to be a likeable and compassionate person as well as a demanding one.
6. "AWAKENS FREQUENTLY"
"Why do high need babies need more of everything but sleep?" groaned a tired mother. You would think that high need babies would need more sleep; certainly their tired parents do.
7. "UNSATISFIED"
Not being able to satisfy a baby's needs is very frustrating for parents of high need babies. It seems like a direct attack on your abilities. After all, isn't a contented baby the hallmark of effective mothering? Wrong! There will be days when you nurse, rock, walk, drive, wear, and try every comforting technique known to man or woman, and nothing will work. Don't take this as a sign of failure. You do the best you can, and the rest is up to the baby. You have not failed as a mother even if your baby is miserable much of the time. This is simply part of his personality. Meanwhile, keep experimenting with one comforting tool after another, and you will eventually discover one that works - - at least for that day. Then you will feel like a genius! Keep your detective hat on to find clues to your baby's discomfort. Constant trial and error is how you build up your baby-soothing abilities.
8. "UNPREDICTABLE"
Along with their unpredictability, these children show extremes of mood swings. When happy, they are a joy to be around; they are master charmers and people pleasers. When angry, they let everyone around them feel the heat.
When he is happy, he is the happiest baby around, but when he is angry he is the worst baby around. He is still that way, sunshine and smiles, anger and daggers. He has no middle emotion.
The child's unpredictability makes your day unpredictable. Do you take him shopping and risk a mega tantrum when his first grocery grabs are thwarted, or will this be a day when he is the model shopping cart baby, charming everyone at the checkout counter?
9. "SUPER-SENSITIVE"
High need babies are keenly aware of the goings-on in their environment. "Easily bothered," "quickly stimulated," "like walking on eggshells" is how parents describe their sensitive babies. High need babies prefer a secure and known environment, and they are quick to protest when their equilibrium is upset. They startle easily during the day (for example, we learned not to turn on the blender if Hayden was anywhere nearby) and settle with difficulty at night. While you can carry on normal family life without waking most sleeping infants, these babies often awaken at the slightest noise. Super-sensitive infants are unlikely to accept substitute caregivers willingly.
10. "CAN'T PUT BABY DOWN"
High need babies crave touch: skin-to-skin contact in your arms, at your breasts, in your bed. They extract whatever physical contact they can from their caregivers. They also crave motion. Holding is not enough; the holder must keep moving. If the holder wants to sit down, it had better be on something that rocks, glides, or swings. This constant holding may be particularly difficult for new parents who expected to have the magazine model baby, the one who lies quietly in the crib gazing at expensive mobiles. This is not the play profile of the high need baby. Parents' arms and bodies are his crib; mother's breasts are his pacifier, and a bouncing lap is his chair. Most high need babies choose to upgrade their accommodations from the crib or playpen to the baby sling. They like to be worn many hours a day because they like the physical contact and they like to be up where the action is. Smart babies.
11. "NOT A SELF-SOOTHER"
Another unrealistic expectation new parents often have is that babies will soothe themselves to sleep with the help of a pacifier, a music box, or some baby-calming gadget. High need babies are smarter than that. They want to interact with people, not things. Parents will often report, "He just can't relax by himself." High need babies need help to fall asleep. They must learn to trust their parents to help them. This will help them learn to relax on their own, a skill that has value for a lifetime. Crying oneself off to sleep is not a good way to learn to relax. The best way for a baby to learn to relax and fall asleep is to have his behavior shaped for him by a parent. Once a child learns to relax on his own, he'll have no trouble falling asleep, when he's tired, on his own.The quality of wanting people instead of things as pacifiers, while initially exhausting, will eventually work to the child's advantage. The child will have a better grasp on interpersonal relationships, especially being comfortable with the quality of intimacy.
12. "SEPARATION SENSITIVE"
The song "Only You," could be the theme of most high need babies. These infants do not readily accept substitute care and are notoriously slow to warm up to strangers. As a mother of a clingy baby described it, "Amanda didn't like new people or new places and seemed to be in a continual phase of separation anxiety. Babysitters wouldn't watch her because of her reputation as a screamer. This was hard on me because I desperately needed a break from the intensity of my child."
It helps to see separation from the baby's viewpoint. To most adults, especially those of the "babies must learn to be independent" mindset, baby and mother should be separate persons, able to function on their own. Babies don't see it that way. In their minds, mother is a part of themselves, and they are part of mother. Mother and baby are one, a complete package. These babies feel right when they feel at one with mother; they feel anxious and frightened when not with mother.

today hubby do not have any induction program,thus we planned to go groceries shopping at ASDA...ASDA sort of tesco or giant in malaysia ...we have tesco here but it is quite far from our home...we went there by bus...n it was quite a journey...from home we walk to the bus stop at stanhope street..taking bus no 39...then at the city centre,we took bus no 100 to metro centre...(which is the 2nd largest shopping center in europe...-ain's hubby nyebuk skit ni..hehe)...yups metro centre is so big...n not so much things to buy there..haha...from there we took metro centre circular,which stops right in front of ASDA,IKEA n few more shops...we bought most of our food stocks...luckily hubby brought his big bagpack...after shopping we put those groceries in the backpack n headed back home...it was so heavy...luckily the bag did not tore..such a useful item it is!..so we took metro centre circular --> no 100 bus --> no 12 bus ( which stops nearer to our home..) we were so tired when we got home n slept until all the workmen at our home left!..n i cooked veggie soup n omelette for fasting break...hmm...should we get rice cooker????we'll see...( lama tak masak pakai periuk biasa...susah nak bajet air...hehehe )

sayangku can roll over very efficiently now!!yeay!!...even woke up in that position with her eyes half closed...hehehe...so cute...she has new habit ( hopefully for this just mean time..) to speak out loud...so loud..that people can hear her from outside the house...( genetic i guess..? ) ...we are at mum`s house right now...have moved out from our apartment...everything is so sudden..yet it is kind of relieving..all our things have been packed to PIL`s house...another 3 days until sayonara malaysia...haaa...right now in process of repacking our stuff into the luggage...haaa...total of 6 luggage...two hand luggage n 4 to the cargo..i guess this is the last post until we are settled down there..n get internet...that is if we can afford it...but good news is..hopefully next year we get a raise in our allowances...as bajet 2008..included it in one of its agenda...alhamdulillah..

we hope everything will be smooth n safe...we will be landing in Heathrow about 6 am...n have approximately 6 hours before our flight to newcastle...hopefully we can at least have sayangku bathed,change her clothes...nappy..feed her before leaving to newcastle...so hope to see you soon blog !
