G'day Mate! Welcome to Perth!

Ingatkan i dah publish post ni.. rupenye still dlm draft.. camne boleh x sedor.. tu la jarang bukak blog ni.. padan muka kan.. huhu..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last time pegi Aussie masa tu tengah 4 months pregnant with Hazyq.. Pegi berdua ngan hubby jer.. kirenye Babymoon la tu.. We went to Gold Coast and it was our first trip overseas together.. Actually this trip was a wedding gift from my parents as our honeymoon tp sbb masing2 busy so tangguh punye tangguh smp nak setahun.. Kalu tak pregnant time tu, ingat bole buat baby kat sana..hahaha..

This time around, our trip to Aussie lagi meriah sbb pegi ramai2 with my parents, siblings and nieces.. My parents decided on Perth (since my dad is the main sponsor for the trip so kena la ikut kan..heheh) Actually my cousin and her family was supposed to join this trip but due to unforeseen circumstances (they were duped by a travel agent friend who took their money but didnt make the necessary booking.. teruk kan?? jahat tul org tu!)

Although it was very hot over there coz it was summer (temp 38-40 degrees ok so mmg panas!) but we really enjoyed ourselves. My parents were very happy to have all their children and grandchildren with them. So to me, as long as they are happy..i am happy too =)


At first, when we heard that my parents planned for us to go to Perth, my main concern was for the kids coz they never traveled overseas on a plane before so we don't know what to expect during the five hour flight.. The verdict? It was quite okay with no major catastrophe and Hazyq especially loves the experience on the plane.. Hehhe.. so now after this boleh la travel overseas selalu.. hehhe

LANGKAWI 2010

Actually dah lama nak buat post ni tapi asyik tangguh2 jer sbb byk pix nak masukkan..

Last December 2010 was a first of many..

- My first trip to Langkawi
- Our first family trip with the in-laws and hubby's siblings
- The HAHA boys first time taking the ferry

We had a great time although it was much too short as it was a 3D/2N trip.. We rented two MPVs (a Naza Ria and an Exora) and drove there..

Bertolak dari Putrajaya dalam kul 12.45pm.. first time travel malam2 ngan budak2 so ni pun first experience gak..
We all tiba at jetty Kuala Perlis dlm 8.00am and took the second ferry of the day at 9.00am but before that ada stop at Sg.Perak to have a drink and bagi drivers freshen up sket..

Tiba at Langkawi we all sewa one MPV and one car kat jetty.. Pastu off carik lokasi hotel which is Holiday Villa and Federal Villa (seblah2 jer).. lama gak mencarik smp hujung pulau rasanye.. Lepas check-in and letak bags kiteorg menjajau carik tempat makan sbb sume lapo..

First day tak ke mana sgt kecuali petang main2 air kat pantai hotel.. very nice clean beach and very beautiful background. Malam makan kat Pantai Cenang.. quite a nice place.. rasa mcm jalan kat oversea jer sbb shops tepi jalan and tempat2 makan die quite quaint and modern..

Second day we went to the Oriental Village sbb nak naik cable car to Mat Cincang Mountain.. But unfortunately the weather was very windy and was raining a bit so the cable car operation had to be stopped until the weather is okay.. So we all pun enjoy the scenery and attractions there.. huhuh sedehnye tak dpt naik cable car so ni adalah salah satu reason to go there again kan.. Pastu singgah jap ke Galeria Perdana.. byk memorabilia Tun Mahathir ada kat situ.. ok gak..
Afterwards we all went for two-hour boat ride for the Mangrove Tour..best sgt! Dapat gi masuk gua kelawar..gi tempat ternak ikan.. dapat tgk dolphins (tak perlu gi oversea k..mesia pun ada).. mmg best! Malamnye gi shopping chocolates kat Haji Ismail and pastu gi makan seafood..

Last day, we went to Underwater World.. tak sume yg pegi.. yg lain gi shopping kat area situ.. Yang pegi Hazyq and Alisya.. I think its much better than Aquaria KLCC sbb luas dan tenang sket.. Kat Aquaria tu kecik and crowded sgt.. Lepas tu kiteorg terus gi jetty nak balik.. tak sempat nak shopping lagey so ada alasan lagey kan nak datang balik..hehhe

Overall, although it was kinda tiring but it was fun and memorable! Bukan selalu dapat bercuti ramai2 camni..lepas ni tak tau bile pulak..

ONE + THREE = ONE LOUD MOMMY

I know i've been making lots of excuses for not updating my blog and the usual answers are busy & lazy.. Nowadays its easy to update via FB.. However, i've promised myself that i will do this post no matter what it takes..
~~~~
It seems just yesterday Hafiy was borne and now he is already ONE (his birthday is on 1st December)and Hazyq is now THREE (his birthday is on 13th Sept) and in kindie (will tell about this in future post InsyaAllah)

I love both of them sooo much but they do sometimes (well, most of the time) drive me crazy.. When there was only Hazyq, i thought he was a handful but NOW with Hafiy, oh boyyy.. i think more hands are needed.. Hafiy is much more stubborn and temperamental than Hazyq.. Alhamdulillah Hazyq now is adapting quite well being a big brother so most of the time he will give in to his lil brother demands.. But its sooo cute seeing both of them playing together and seeing Hafiy tailing around & copying his brother's moves..



My doa is for them to grow up being a 'soleh', responsible, smart & obedient sons that will make both of us proud..

Happy belated birthday my dear darlings..
Abah & Ibu love you both sooo much!


Their birthday bash which was held on 5th December 2010 @ Subang Jaya


Thanx Sue for the lovely & delicious cake!
Thanx Nowwa for the impromptu choc class!
Love you gals!

A YEAR OLDER BUT WISER?

.

I do think that I am a lot more wiser than last year..

32 is just a number.. After turning 30.. adding years after that is actually not so bad..

.

Alhamdulillah.. This past year I have achieved quite a lot..

An adorable baby boy, a bag boutique with my name on it (the feeling of seeing your name up on a store signage is simply awesome!), an online business, supportive family & friends and having the guts to finally quit my job of eight years..

.

Hmm.. Not too bad for a 32-year-old..

.

And this year I got to celebrate my birthday (although it was the next day) with my wonderful hubby.. just the two of us :)

Alhamdulillah.. I am blessed and thankful for so many things in my life..

Looking forward to another wonderful year ahead which I think will be challenging as I will be embarking into the unknown after my final days at work..

.

Thanx Nowwa for the delicious and addictive home-made oreo cheesecake! As you can see, it was demolished immediately..heheh

The pink white cake (American Chocolate) was a gift from Kak Bedah, Pandan Caterer. Very yummy!

.

SAJE NGOMEL

.

Tak nak tulis apa sgt pun cume rindu yang melampau pulak ngan my hubby ni.. Dah lama tak kena tinggalkan laki dah jadik tak keruan pulak.. Hmm.. manja sangat ke aku ni kalu rasa camni? Malam2 takde teman borak and gaduh la.. Nak gaduh ngan budak2 ni bukannye menang pun (at least ngan abah die skali skala menang gak) Anyway, sian jugak kat budak2 ni rindukan abahnye especially Hazyq..

.

Hishkk.. bile time2 camni rasa mcm tak tergamak pulak nak tinggalkan budak2 ni nanti dlm bulan 5 ke bulan 6 ni.. Tapi kalu tak pegi camne nak gi carik stock barang nanti.. Lagipun pegi pun demi masa depan budak2 ni jugak.. Walaupun nanti terpaksa tinggalkan dlm 4 hari tapi InsyaAllah hari2 lain dapat spend time and focus kat budak2 ni lebih dari masa skang ni..

.

Hmm.. petang2 Jumaat nak tunggu 5.30 ni boleh pulak macam2 nak dipikirkan..

BESTNYE BERCUTI WITH FAMILY

Believe it or not sejak berkahwin kiteorg belom pernah lagi berkesempatan bercuti ramai2 satu family with my parents & siblings.. Alhamdulillah masa cuti Maulud Nabi 26 Feb hari tu dapat la kiteorg bercuti sama2.. Since this is our 1st family trip so kiteorg try la cuti dekat2 dulu so atas suggestion my SIL, we decided utk bercuti ke Avillion PD..

.

Mmg best tempat tu coz byk activity for kids.. actually Hazyq asalkan ada pool jer dah orait sgt la tu..hehe..Kiteorg amik 4 water chalet package 3D/2N.. 2 kiddies treat package and 2 pampering treat package.. Kiddies package dapat goodies, ice cream, milk shake & fries for 2 children.. Pampering package lak include 30 minutes head & back massage or foot reflexology for 2 adults.. Lagi worth it amik package camni.. nak tau further click sini ye..

.

Apa yang best kat sane? Banyakkkk...antaranye..

- water chalet die cantik & quite spacious (the bathroom mmg best & beso giler)

- ada pet farm where u can feed the animals (rabbit, chickens, peacock, etc)

- private beach yg bersih and cantik

- kids activity club (playground, video game, art activities, batik drawing, lego, toys, books, etc)

- family & kids pool with slide (ada jacuzzi skali)

- adults pool only (sesuaiu utk sape2 yg nak elakkan keriuhan budak2 atau nak merendek laki bini)

- nature walk & jogging track (my parents suka ni sebab tmpt die byk pokok2 and penuh dengan kehijauan)

- Avi Spa yang mmg cantik and modern tapi ni untuk yg byk duit la sbb treatment die sume rm120 ke atas

.

.

InsyaAllah pasni kiteorg ingat nak plan ke Universal Studio Singapore laks atau Bandung tapi yg pasti kena tempat yg budak2 suka..

Best best best...

Aqiqah Hafiy

.
Alhamdulillah selesai sudah Majlis Aqiqah Hafiy yang berlangsung 16 Januari lalu.. Majlis simple jer sebab budaknye.. pagi pukul 10 buat Yaasin.. mostly yang datang group Yaasin & Marhaban my mom and sedara mara terdekat.. Pastu kul 12 tengahari hingga 3 petang majlis makan2.. takdenye buat cukur jambul ke ape sebab budaknye pun dah dicukurkan masa hari ke-10 lepas die lahir..

Seronok gak jumpe kengkawan lama and sedara mara.. Pastu menu hari tu mmg excellent and sedap i.e. nasi bukhara, daging beriyani, ayam masala, etc (menu yg sama masa majlis kawin dulu and from the same caterer) and yang paling spesel ialah kambing panggang yang boleh dimakan ngan mint sauce.. perghhh.. mmg sampai skang teringat kat kambing tu sbb mmg sedap sgt! Biasanye mmg tak suka makan kambing tapi dah panggang and sedap so byk ler makan.. huhuh...

Sambil2 tu amik la gak kesempatan menyambut besday Hazyq yg dari last year tak sambut2 lagik sbb jatuh time bulan pose.. takde ape sgt sekadar tiup lilin and makan kek sedap (thanx Kak Mas for sponsoring the blueberry brownies cake tu.. mmg sedap!!) InsyaAllah tahun ni for besday Hazyq yang ke-3 kite celebrate k sayang..

'Mini pelamin" anakandaku Hafiy

Hafiy memakai jubah baru pemberian Opahnye.. comeykan..

Sempat la gak bergambo berempat.. tu pun tengok Hazyq macam nak larikan diri jer...

Aizah & Dina.. roommate masa matriks dulu.. terharu dieorg dtg gak..

These are my childhood friends masa darjah satu Suriani & Lisa.. Nik Nadiah lak join us masa darjah 2 sbb die baru pindah Subang time tu.. persahabatan yang melebihi dua dekad and still going on strong!

My colleagues yg mmg best & sempoi! (too bad tak sempat amik gambo kak mas sbb die dtg lmbt and time tu langsung tak ingat nak amik gambo...huhu)

Besday kek Hazyq yg disponsor Kak Mas.. mmg sedap!! Marisa & Darwisy dok berebut nak tiup lilin skali sambil nak rembat hiasan kek tu..hehhe

Doorgift hari tu adalah chocolates yang diorder dari my good fren & biz partner Nowwa.. sedappp.. nak order sila click sini ya..

.

10 hari lagik..

-
Aisehh.. macam kejap la pulak rasa cuti maternity ni.. masa pantang tu rasa mcm lama giler.. skang rasa sungguh tak ready nak masuk keja.. seblom beranak dulu dah plan mcm2 nak buat time cuti ni tapi hakikatnye bile dah ada dua anak ni susah sket nak ke sana sini..

Ingat dapat la gi butik selalu and amik gambo and update website.. tapi yang berjaya hanya tuko layout website jer (tu pun masih tak puas ati lagik so rasenye mcm kena beli template jer sbb sian hubby bz tak sempat nak design layout) gambo2 beg yg baru tu tak sempat lagik nak amik.. everytime plan nak ke sana ada2 jer hal... apa2 hal seblom masuk keja kena gak amik gambo beg2 tu.. itu adalah kemestian!! Nowwa.. tolong aku ek.. hehe..

Seronok gak cuti ni dapat dok umah sendiri dari pagi sampai malam.. kalu tak umah ni mcm tmpt persinggahan utk tido jer.. mana taknye.. siang keja and anak anto umah parents di Subang or umah in-laws di Putrajaya so mlm jer dpt lepak umah.. pastu once a week kadang2 tido Subang sbb dinner atau usrah.. pastu every weekend selalunye overnite di Putrajaya..

Yang lagi best dok umah kali ni sbb rasa mcm masuk umah baru lak.. Bilik sume tuko tiles.. bukan plan tapi lantai parque dah masuk anai2 so byk brg yg rosak termasuk furniture kat bilik2 tu..jadi nak tak nak kena la tuko.. so masa time pantang kat Subang, umah pun dah tonggang terbalik dok pasang tiles pastu kuarkan sume brg2 & furnitures dr 3 bilik.. huiskk..bising hubby sbb byk sgt baju die nak kena kuarkan pastu kat 3rd bedroom aka store tu mmg byk sgt brg2 tak pakai/rosak and also hadiah2 wedding dulu.. heran ek camne anai2 boleh naik sampai tingkat 12?! naik lif kot..huhu

Alang2 dah buat tiles so buat la skali kitchen cabinet and beli a few furnitures and brg2 termasuk katil Hazyq (budaknye dah semakin beso pastu nak letak adiknye lagik so katil queen kami mmg tak mampu nak tampung kami empat beranak..huhu) Anyway, umah ni sejak kawin mmg tak buat ape2 lagik sbb takde masa and time tu tak rasa ada keperluan sgt.. Skang ni dah anak dua so dah tiba masanye kena gak buat pembaharuan.. Buat masa ni kami selesa dok kat apartment dulu mainly sbb security and lagipun kiteorg ni selalu takde kat umah so kalu dok umah darat nanti mesti risau masuk pencuri ke ape..

Berbalik ke topik asal.. 10 hari lagik nak masuk keja.. sungguh tak ready.. byk benda nak buat seperti:

• lose more weight sbb dah gain balik lps abih pantang tu akibat melantak makanan2 yg terlarang masa pantang.. huhu.. padan muka ek! Ni nak try Alpha Lipid laks.. mainly sbb katanye bagus nak increase supply susu badan and also for weight lost
  
• menambahkan stock susu utk dibeku.. kali ni susu mcm tak byk bole simpan sbb Hafiy lagi banyak menyusu dr abangnye.. dah risau ni..
  
• nak beli baju2 keja yg vogue but practical.. jom shopping anyone!!
• nak beli breastpump electric tapi masih takut2 lagik nak beli sbb takut sakit nanti gune.. fobia aaa
• buat facial and manicure & pedicure pastu trim & treatment rambut
• yang lain mungkin bole buat after masuk keja kot..hmmm

WELCOME ANAKANDAKU HAFIY NAWFAL

Alhamdulillah.. HAFIY NAWFAL telah selamat dilahirkan secara normal pada 5.45 ptg, 1 Disember 2009 di Sime Darby Medical Center (SDMC) dengan berat 3.49kg (abang die dulu 3.69kg).
-
Kalu ikutkan due date die 5 atau 7 Disember so tu pasal la my parents & sisters confident jer gi becuti ke Bandung time tu sbb assume Hafiy pun kuar lambat macam abang die dulu
-------

30 November 2009, Isnin (sehari seblom bersalin):
Sepatutnye check-up esok harinye tapi dah mmg tak larat nak ke ofis so tuko appointment ke hari ni. Pagi tu seblom ke hospital, masa ke toilet terperasan ada darah sket kuar which is also one of the signs of early labour. Sampai hospital jer and lepas register terus gi ke counter clinic Dr. Siti and bagitau nurse kat situ yg dah ada show blood sket. Nurse kata doc ada kat OT (operation theater) so suoh terus gi ke delivery unit.
-
Kat sana nurse check baru dilate 1.5cm and check contractions baru mild. Ikut past experience kalu 1cm tu mesti lebih 24 hours so after n nurse consult doc and die kata ok bole balik so ape lagik terus chiow la tapi takde la balik umah dulu.. hehe..
-

1. 1st stop: gi makan nasi lemak special kat Jom Bali di Carrefour Subang
2. 2nd stop: beli Frappucino Green Tea di Starbucks
3. 3rd stop: gi carrefour beli barang2 yg patut.. baru teringat tak beli set bersalin lagik so sib baik ada stall jamu jual set bersalin Leesa Formula.
4. 4th stop: balik umah parents di Subang
5. Last stop: Manhattan Fishmarket, Subang Parade - memandangkan sampai nak malam pun tak rasa contractions lagik so ajak la hubby, Hazyq, Fitri (maid) & Lilik (maid mak) ke Subang Parade makan kat Manhattan Fishmarket pekena giant seafood platter yg sungguh byk and lazat.. iye lerr.. dah pantang nanti tak bole makan seafood..

---------
1 December 2009, Selasa (delivery day):
-
5.00am masa gi toilet perasan darah kuar dah banyak tapi contractions masih tak menyakitkan lagik so sambung tido balik.. kul 7 lebih bangun bagitau hubby yg contractions dah bole tahan sakit and kuar darah banyak so gedebak gedebuk siap2 and breakfast terus ke spital.. masa tu sayu gak nak tinggalkan Hazyq..
-
Sampai spital nak dekat 9am and terus masuk bilik delivery.. nurse check baru dilate 3cm.. so doc kata mungkin dlm 7 to 8 hours lagik... alahaiiii lambatnyeeee
-
By tengahari contractions dah sakit yg amat so mintak la epidural nak tahan sakit.. lepas dapat epidural tu mata pun dah lalok so tido la jap..hubby lak gi kuar makan lunch dulu.. sian die dok temankan kat bilik and astro lak ntah ape2 la citer mainkan time tu..
-
At 3.30pm nurse check baru dilate 5cm jer.. aduhh.. memandangkan lambat sgt nak tunggu open ke 10cm, nurse masukkan drip ape ntah utk cepat proses.. Akhirnye by 4.30pm dah 8cm bukak and 5.20pm dah 10cm bukak so dah bole start teran.. Bersyukur hubby ada the whole time so by 5.45pm keluarlah si Hafiy ke dunia ni..
