demam..

salam mummies..

anak ibu demam..

maybe sbb penat beraya.. ?

or penat makan daging.. ?

or sebab makan aiskrim aritu tanpa abah.. ?

or sebab potong rambut.. ?

or penat berjalan2 dan bermain kat umah maktok.. ?

or alasan x nak dok umah mama ros sbb maktok nak kena balik kampung.. ?

or sbb marah ibu pegi keje.. ?

or sbb rasa jauh dengan abah.. ?

apa2 pun alasannya, ibu doakan anak ibu cepat sembuh ya sayang..

bangun pagi nih, badan anak ibu panas, plus sound mcm ada kahak kat kerongkong.. terus ibu sms encik boss ckp ibu lewat arinih.. ibu siap.. terus ibu bawak anak ibu pegi klinik.. jumpa doktor yg sambut anak ibu.. temp pagi tadi, 38.1deg... ada luka di kerongkong, x serius, and just virus biasa (bukan HFMD). sepanjang ari merap ngan maktok.. bila ibu balik, anak ibu nampak mcm ok, wpun dlm condition x sihat (x merap la pulak)... hmm.. marah ibu pegi keje ke nih?? harap2 anak ibu cepat sembuh ya sayang.. nnti boleh balik kpg nenek kamis ni jumpa kakak lisa..

we both in Penang..

what a pleasant moment to be back to hometown, esp when it is raya huh? well, we are not going to be here only for raya, but until christmas!!!

Salam AidilAdha!

Assalamualaikum wth buat semua mummy..

bersawang teruk kan blog ibu zarif nih??

hmm.. ibu bz la mummy semua.. sian dia tau.. skang ni, ibu zarif is wiken wifey.. dia pjj ngan abah.. so, nak tak nak, dia kena la jaga zarif sorang2, sambil2 di tolong oleh asyue zarif tu.. tp asyue zarif tu asyik main game je kat umah ni.. tu yang kalau zarif masuk je bilik asyue tu, zarif akan punggah semua barang.. pastu kalau asyue tgh main game, zarif mesti nak p duduk depan monitor biar asyue kalah..

tp kadang2 asyue layan jugak zarif.. layan main bola.. tgk tv citer miska muska mickey mouse tu ke.. zarif suka citer tu.. esp bab bila dia panggil master tools dia.. 'oooo tu dosss...' (betul ke ejaan nih ).. lagi satu zarif suka.. masa dia nyanyi lagu.. :D

zarif skang suka bgn lambat tau.. sib baik la ibu ni wfh.. dapat zarif landing lama2 esp bila skang ni time ujan (ibu pun ikut sama).. owh.. actually, zarif bangun kul 7am camtu mintak susu dari ibu.. slalu nyer ibu mmg dah get ready sbb dia tau kalau lambat.. nnti zarif jerit2 mcm org lapar.. kadang tu zarif jerit jugak wpun ibu dah siap tunggu zarif.. nnti time zarif minum susu tu, mesti ibu pun landing2 sambil tepuk bontot zarif.. tu yang lepas tu zarif tertidor balik tuh.. kadang2 ibu pun join zarif.. tp kejap je.. sbb ibu kan nak keje..

bila zarif bangun, slalunyer kul 9am la... zarif tgk ibu dah xde.. zarif tau ibu keje.. jadi zarif jerit panggil ibu.. ibu pesan.. zarif jgn kuar bilik.. duduk je kat atas tilam sampai ibu datang.. tp kadang2 ibu x dengar zarif jerit or nangis.. so zarif pegi dok kat pintu. zarif budak baik sbb tu zarif x kuar dari situ.. sbb ibu ari2 pesan.. jgn pegi dekat tangga.. nnti jatuh..

bila zarif bangun, ibu buat susu lagi.. owh... kuat kan zarif minum?? ni tuk bekfast la pulak mummy.. bila turun bawah je.. benda pertama zarif buat ialah.. switch on tv. zarif pandai tau. n zarif mmg suka switch on tv.. pstu ibu akan bukak la channel 611 sbb time pagi ni ada Ozie boo, Backon, and paling zarif suka.. JIM JAM & Sunny.. kan ada nyanyi2 tu? zarif suka la.. lepas tu zarif tgk pulak ROARY the racing car.. time ni sure zarif punggah mainan carik car zarif.. VROOOOMMMM..

sambil2 zarif tgk tv ni, ibu dok prepare barang school zarif.. botol, baju, puting (hihi).. pastu sure zarif akan dengar ibu sebut.."baby.. come.. lets go to bath" zarif suka mandi, sbb ibu slalu bagi zarif main air, then ibu akan buat bubbl2 byk.. tp zarif nak tgk tv.. so, kesian ibu kena tangkap zarif bawak pg toilet..

masa mandi zarif behave. ibu letak zarif dalam besen sbb ibu xnak zarif sejuk duduk atas lantai toilet tuh. n ibu slalu pesan kat zarif.. jgn berdiri tau.. nnti jatuh.. so zarif duduk diam2 dlm besen tu sambil main air.. zarif pandai bukak pili air sendiri tau.. bijakkan zarif??

sambil mandi tu, ibu slalu ckp.. 'lepas mandi kita makan.. then kita go to school yer.. school ada kawan.. ada mama.. ada teacher.. ' hmm.. zarif bo layan je kalau ibu ckp mcm tu.. sbb zarif bz main air.. bila dah puas main, zarif akan simpan cebok khas ibu bagi kt zarif.. n ibu tolong kemas besen yg zarif guna tadi.. lepas pakai baju, ibu bagi zarif makan.. makan roti ke.. makan nasik goreng ke.. makaroni goreng ke.. kadang2 zarif minum susu je sbb bila dah pakai hensem2 ni, zarif rasa nak g jalan kat luar.. LOL.

bila zarif keluar, ibu sure akan pakai tudung.. owh.. nak bawak zarif g tepi jalan tgk bas la tu.. kat sini ada byk bas & lori.. zarif suka! kalau dok kat tepi jalan tu, zarif akan jerit "BAAAASSSSSS!!" wpun pada lori. zarif slalu confuse lori dan bas la.. tp dah 2-3 kali ni, zarif dah dapat sebut yg betul.. bas pada bas.. lori pada lori.. bijakkan zarif.. ye la.. zarifkan anak yang bijak.. ibu slalu ckp mcm tu pada zarif..

bila dah lama berdiri tepi jalan tu.. ibu pun ajak zarif pegi school.. zarif xmo.. zarif nak dok ngan ibu.. zarif nangis.. tp sian ibu.. terpaksa la ibu masuk school zarif skali.. antar beg zarif.. layan zarif sampai zarif dah suka dok kat school tuh.. kadang2 ibu bagi je zarif kat teacher effa sbb nnti teacher effa akan bawak zarif main drawing2.. teacher effa ada byk color pencil, zarif suka sangat conteng2 sampai zarif conteng meja! tp teacher effa tu garang la.. (serius garang, boleh dengar sora dia sampai umah kalu dia bertempik).. lepas tu ibu pun balik umah utk buat keje dia.. sampai la petang.. baru dia amik zarif..

kalau x ujan, dapat la zarif dok tepi jalan, tgk bas, lori, or kadang2 pegi taman.. tp skang kan musim ujan.. so x dapat la nak buat sumer tu.. balik umah zarif just dok umah tgk tv.. makan.. sepahkan umah ibu.. ibu slalu tegur zarif suruh zarif simpan balik barang2 yg zarif sepahkan.. tp zarif bolayan je.. (kecik lagi kan, bukan dia paham pun.. ) kalau ibu kemas, sure zarif pegi punggah balik.. n zarif suka main acah2 gitu ngan ibu..

bila sampai pkul 9pm, zarif ajak ibu naik atas.. zarif nak landing2 sambil punggah bilik pulak.. bila ibu tgk zarif dah mcm letih.. ibu akan tukar diapers, lap badan zarif yang begetah sbb main sungguh, n salin baju tangan panjang.. then ibu buat susu, tutup lampu n baringkan zarif.. sambil zarif baring tu, zarif suka korek mata or hidung ibu.. ibu slalu marah sampai ibu xnak tgk zarif.. ibu buat2 pejam mata.. tp zarif tau..ibu acah je tu.. zarif bangun n zarif pegi kat ibu, zarif panggil 'bu..' sure ibu bukak mata balik.. ibu suka nyanyi lagu twinkle2 little star sambil geletek perut zarif.. n ibu kata.. 'zarif la little star ibu..' lagi satu lagu ibu suka nyanyi lagi seekor labah2.. bila zarif gelak banyak sgt.. ibu nnti pesan.. 'haish.. jgn gelak byk sgt.. nnt tgh malam nangis..' tp zarif gelak jugak sbb zarif suka main ngan ibu..

sampai bila ibu nampak zarif dah penat.. ibu cakap.. 'ok sayang.. enough for today.. kita tido k.. good nite.. sweet dream.. i love you sayang..' pastu zarif mintak susu.. lepas abih minum.. zarif pun carik bantal peluk zarif n zarif pun tdo..

pastu nnti kul 1 am and 4 am, zarif akan bangun minum susu pulak.. mcm tu la rutin zarif skang nih.. sian ibu kena bangun 2 kali.. hihi..

eh, panjang lebar dah yer cerita zarif?? tu la ibu, asyik bz ngan citer shopping dia je.. :p

buat sumer kawan2 ibu, blog readers, zarif & ibu & abah nak mengucapkan selamat hari raya aidilAdha.. nampak gaya nya.. lepas ni zarif akan lebih bz lagi.. kenapa.. tunggu entry seterusnya.. nnti ibu zarif post jadual kami sepangjang bulan dec nnti ya..

till then, stay healthy, love ya!

zarif on behalf ibu.. LOL

Counting Days!

Assalamualaikum wth & Morning everyone!

Time is running so fast.. kejap je weekend dah abih kan, but i like! :D

I cant wait to be back to PG. 2 bulan la x balik..

Yesterday, i had a chance to go to Kiko whouse sale. pg pun dah last minutes.. tu pun sbb bawak zarif pegi klinik sbb badan naik bijik2 gatal .. suspected allergy sbb day before tu ibu bagi dia makan udang.. walhal before this zarif ni siap boleh ratah2 udang ok je pun.. maybe lepas yg sakit HFMD ni kot antibodi x kuat ke apa?? still doctor advice to try n error.. :$

back to the kiko whouse sale.. masa ibu sampai, ibu telah disambut dengan satu suara yang agak ibu familiar.. yer la.. ibu ni bila sampai tempat2 whaus ni mata tgk barang je.. x tgk org dah.. hehehe.. kenapa ibu kata suara agak familiar.. owh... suara ni agak2 last jumpa masa ari konvo or maybe 2-3 ari sblm konvo kot.. hehehe.. lama nyer x jumpa!! ibu jumpa course mate ibu yg bernama S Mahani..

Ni picca ibu & kawan2 ibu masa dinner budak2 bahan..

read L-R: leen, Angah, Me, Nana & S Mahani..

5 years back.. miss u girls!!

S Mahani skang berbadan 2, double congratulations Mah for the wed & coming baby.. haha.. x tahu pun Mah ko dah kawen.. alih2 jupe bawak perut.. LOL.

Anyway, di sesi membeli-belah, ditemani en.Zarif & en.Zeck, ibu berjaya merembat 4 pasang baju basahan @ RM36 only. sepasang rm12, 4 pasang = rm48, tp ada lagi disc last day katanya.. Kenapa 4 pasang je?? hmm.. x banyak pilihan pun tuk baju boy.. byk baju gegirl je.. :D (jimat duit kan??)

Back to the title of this post.. hehe.. mcm tgh tunggu ari nk besalin je... i'm going back PG for this coming Aidil Adha - balik malam raya sbb en.Zeck x dapat cuti kamis tuh..

Till then, stay healthy & jangan main hujan yer... :D

Rindu!

baru lepas baca blog kakak a.k.a mama lisa pasal result UPSR yang kuar arini.. tetiba hati rasa terusik.. owh.. telah lama aku tinggalkan zaman itu.. rasa nya, itulah detik yg menjadikan diri aku sbg aku hari ini. xde la hebat pun, cuma, Alhamdulillah, aku bersyukur dengan anugerah yg Allah kurniakan buat diri aku..

Bila dah besar2 ni, mak kadang2 slalu ckp.. "sian nya angah dulu2 kecik je kena basuh baju sendiri.." (skang kecik, korang bygkan ler aku time form1 dulu.. ) owh.. aku duduk asrama dari form 1. sbg anak perempuan, rasanya, stakat basuh baju tu xde masalah.. mungkin apa yg mak pikirkan adalah --> aku anak perempuan mak sorang. Tapi satu perkara yg aku x sure aku penah ckp kat mak ke tak.. ekceli selain aku nak dok asrama sbb aku mmg nak blajar kat asrama, aku ekceli nak ngelat dari kena buat keje umah.. hmm.. ye la.. aku darjah satu mak lahirkan acik syg.. aku darjah 2 mak lahirkan si busyuk lak. jadik nyer.. mmg nak sgt la aku bersenang lenang kat asrama tu :(

tp tu la.. tu pemikiran aku time tu. masa tu aku x paham lagi susah payah mak abah nak sekolah kan aku kat skolah tuh.. dah la aku x dapat mana2 bantuan pun.. jd mmg aku dibawah tanggungan PAMA.

sampai dapat result PMR, aku mmg xde decide nk kemana2 pun, wlaupun aku gedik2 jugak sit for MRSM nyer test, amik borang skolah teknik. aku masih disitu. balik sebulan sekali, n kadang2 mak ngan abah datang melawat.. paling aku x lupa.. bila time birthday aku.. 1 dorm aku mak abah jamu makan.. & jugak adik yg 2 org tu bagi aku hadiah. wpun hadiah nya cuma sikat rambut.. aku still ingat aku penah dapat sikat rambut , n kad buatan sendiri pun aku simpan lagi sampai ari ni.. (boleh jugak buat bahan ketawa dikala busan skang nih).

sampai la aku dapat result SPM.. rupanya .. aku ni pemalas.. org lain susah2 keje lepas SPM, aku dok umah buat apa ntah aku pun x tau.. hehehe.. sampai la aku masuk metrik USM.. bila sampai time nak buat pilihan course, mak soh aku amik course cikgu, tp aku nak amik engineering.. hehe.. aku ckp ngan abah.. (konon merajuk ngan mak, ckp kat abah la..) abah pun bagi..

Alhamdulillah, sampai la aku berjaya abih kan course dengan jayanya.... aku sempat kat tronoh setahun.. pastu kampus pindah kat transkrian.. kebetulan.. dekat pulak ngan si acik aku nih.. dia skolah teknik time tu.. kebetulan, bila abah decide nak bli kan aku kereta, mak soh abah beli kan aku kancil.. huhuhu.. aku punya la x bekenan kancil.. tapi abah beli kan aku PEP itu..

PEP pun byk jugak kenangan. kenangan kuar g kelas bersama2 DAE yg kemudian bertukar kepada DAM, kenangan meronggeng ke penang ngan kawan2... kenangan kuar deting ngan incik hubby, kenangan ulang -alik puchong -penang pun ada! zarif pun sempat naik PEP gak.

cerita aku dan emak blom abih.. bila aku sibuk2 nak beli keta.. mak suggest aku beli myVi.. even sampai ari ni pun mak masih sebut pasal myVi :) suka sungguh mak pada kereta keluaran perodua nih.. hehehe.. aku?? aku kan sentiasa x setuju ngan mak.. hehehe..

boleh dikatakan, aku mmg slalu bangkang ckp mak.. tp tu la yg memanjakan/merapatkan/dll yg sewaktu ngan nya aku dan emak.. tak caya?? g tanya mak.. sure mak ckp.. dia suka aku teman dia g shopping sbb aku adalah pengomen/pembangkang/pendebat yang hebat --> sampai kadang2 mak tak jadi la nak beli satu2 barang tuh.. !! hehe.. kan ke jimat tu bawak aku ..

dah la tu.. let the rest remain history.. the sweetest ever i believe..

buat mak, angah rindu mak la..

p/s: sorry la erk.. swingy mood melanda x hengat.. x dapat nak bendung..

ting tong

i hate when i have this ting tong feeling..

oh, pls go away.. go go go away..

en hubby.. saya rindu kamu!

Upah

ini kisah upah : 2 in 1

(1) - Upah tuk org yg sakit aritu tuh..

(2) - Upah tuk maktok yg bersusah payah dgn gigih nya dtg sini naik bas tuk jaga org sakit itu.

mcm yg cik mat cakap.. soh zarif mintak upah lori yer.. hmm.. lori en.kecik ni dah ada.. jadi, memandangkan masa sakit aritu kami sekeluarga terpaksa mengkuarantin kan diri masing2, so, ari sabtu 7hb Nov kami telah sepakat tuk pegi umah sewa abah!!

N bawak maktok skali, so dapat la maktok tgk camne rupa pekan BENTONG.. owh.. abah kena keja ari sabtu 7hb tu.. half day.. jadi, kami pegi la ari sabtu pagi tu.. sampai sana dlm kul 1pm, so terus abah take over driving, n bawak kami pusing2 pekan BENTONG + lunch kat sana...

abih makan, abah bawak pusing tgk kilang boss abah yg besar gedabak bagaikan Giant ditepi highway karak (bak kata hubby kawan ibu - uncle zaky) ..

then terus la kitorang heading to a place yg motto nyer berbunyik "have fun at the peak".. :D

owh.. kebingitan telinga memanjat bukit menyebabkan en.kecik itu muntah seround... nangis 3 round. tp bila sampai atas.. CARGAS!!! & sudah ditakdirkan kami memanjat bukit ini di waktu ujan, jadi.. sgt la ramai umat tuk activity indoor.

nak outdoor mende nya dah ujan beb.. kitorang aritu, sekadar pusing2 jamu mata.. sambil2 layan kebingitan telinga.. :D en.kecik itu mcm biasa, sgt enjoice ..

this is while q'ing for the ride..


owh.. nape x naik2 lagi nih..

there's comes again.. sgt excited kan muka dia..??

miss again.. hmm.. drooling sbb x dapat naik.. hehe..

ini ler rupa ride yg si kecik besar ni teringin nak naik..

permandangan while riding the thingy.... :D


di bawah ini.. gambar cinta hati saya.. fulfill my both right-left heart..

MUAAAHHHH..

i did some price checking (byk kan web yg juai hbag nih) and find out this blog can give me a good price.. bear in mind, they are also do a business, so to get your own price, bukak kedai sendiri la kan..

kisah HFMD - Day 2 off

salam..
arini abah keje. so pepagi lagi abah dah kuar sbb nak avoid jem kat tol duta n lagipun, perjalanan abah about 1 hour + jugak nak sampai ke bentong nun..
so arini, tinggal la kami berdua. zarif aktif macam biasa, cuma ada masa2 dia akan pegi lepak kat tilam dia tuk hilang kan penat. x banyak mende yang kami buat pun, sbb ibu pun amik kesempatan tuk lepak since dah nama pun cuti kan??
lidah/mulut zarif dah baik, cuma masih ada tanda2 lagi kat tangan n kaki..

hmm.. cepat sembuh yer anak ibu..

kisah HFMD - Day 1 off

Sebaik je dapat tau kata zarif infected by the HFMD thingy, ibu terus call abah. inform abah.

memula rasa diri yg kecik molek ni macam kuat bagai. ckp kat abah xpe, ibu boleh handle. [mode perasan lebih, hehe]

kebetulan pulak, kuar klinik en.boss ada antar sms pasai keje, terus ibu call and inform kata ibu will be on MC on thursday 29-oct, and leave on friday 30-oct.

back at home, en. zarif macam biasa, sbb terexcited 'kluar tgk jalan' tadi tu, xde pun tanda2 nak tdo. hmm. ibu x buat apa pun. melepek depan tv sambil tgk org tu main.

bila abah tepon kata dia dah tepon MIL mintak datang sini, ibu still rasa diri ni kuat bagai. tp MIL xleh nak datang pun, sbb babysitter anak SIL tgh cuti, so MIL takecare derang..

bila zarif dah mula ajak naik tangga, ibu tau anak ibu dah letih.

ibu bagi zarif ubat [read:paksa] n siapkan zarif tuk tdo.

dah tutup lampu, ibu dah landing2 atas tilam, zarif masih lagi dok menyusun kad2 gambar lori dia. ye la. tadi tu kan nampak lori byk kat jalan.. :D

kali ni kena paksa tdo pulak. kalau biar rasanya, sampai pagi esok mau si zarif ni x tdo.

bila tgk lit'l charming ni tdo. rasa sayu pulak. bukan apa. kesian zarif sbb abah takde. terus ibu call abah suruh balik..

thursday :: 29-oct-2009

we do nothing. mmg sumer org melepek je kat umah ni, sambil layan en.zarif. Alhamdulillah, zarif mmg aktif macam biasa, cuma dia xbleh kalau xde org teman dia main

[normal pun mmg mcm tu pun *wink*]

doktor pesan, kalau zarif demam, muntah, nampak tanda2 lemah, dalam masa 3 arini,

baru ibu perlu lebih risau n bawak dia g klinik smula.

bfast, lunch & dinner sumer segera arinih.

abah x bagi masak, ye la, soh tgk anak nih je..

& ibu pun menurut je la perintah..

dan lagi, ibu sakit kepala,

sbb tu abah x bagi masak..

lepas insiden ibu terhantuk kepala ke dinding malam tu, ibu asyik sakit kepala.

camne terhantuk?

ntah ler. tgh tdo. nak kata tdo buas, xde pun.

cuma malam tu, ibu ingat sbb zarif masuk kawasan ibu, ibu cuba nak beralih sbb nak bagi ruang kat dia.. masa tu ler terhantuk..

kuat. sakit. ibu ingat tuh.

ibu pasti ibu x mimpi. hehe.

so, day 1 off ibu - xde buat apa pun. entertaint zarif & diri sendiri sbb mcm tetiba je dapat cuti kan?? hehe..

arini ibu notice merah2 kat kaki n tgn zarif tinggal bintik2 je lagi.. dah xde dah gelembung2 tuh..

harap2 makin kurang la yer..

to anak ibu sayang, cepat sembuh yer.. i love you muah sayang..

Sedih

Dah 2 malam kami tdo berdua. Abah ke bentong, sbb keje abah disana.
Dan dah 2 malam ini jugak la zarif x baper nak tdo. Ibu notice he drool a lot.
So i check his gums, looks like 2 more teeth is coming out. it was 2 nite b4.

Last nite, i notice ada 2 bintik merah at his right hands. n a little at his feet.
I tot that was a kesan kena gigit semut, sbb semalam umah ibu byk sgt semut.
And he hasnt sleep well. Bangun je, sure nangis. I tot susu sejuk, so i made a warm one. pun nangis jugak.

And still --> i tot it is because of the teeth yg sedang nak kluar itu..

Petang ni, nothing change. --> even worst. dinner time i guess was a nightmate to him. Mmg dia nanges x hengat. Itu pun menu arini porridge.

And i wonder..

so i check his gums again, gigi tu sama je camtu. i checked his tongue, ada bintik merah. And i remembered.. all this while.. zarif x penah demam kalau gigi nak kluar..

terus ibu call clinic zarif n set for appointment.

n doktor pun sahkan.. zarif terkena jangkitan .. sakit kaki tangan & mulut.. (HFMD).

so ibu pun akan bercuti seminggu sbb nak menjaga en.zarif..
ye la.. xleh la p school dah.. sbb takut nnti terjangkitkan kawan2 lain..

creditted to my along sayang.. for this [HFMD] which i curik from your blog.. hahaha..

p/s: sok pepagi ibu nak g check kat school sapa ler budak yang dah kena.. hmmmmm... cikgu-cikgi kat school ni pun xkan x perasan kot kan??

cerita ceriti ibu & anak ibu

HAHA.

exlusively no specific subject for this post.

actually.. byk yang nak dpostkan, tp mcm dah back-dated la plak..

tu la kan. since merdeka, sampai dah abih diwali, xde byk story-mory yer?? nak salahkan the swingy mood tu .. xde la pulak swingy mood tu sentiasa.. haha.. mari salahkan diri sendiri yer..

frankly, im quite tight after raya nih. office work mmg x dinafikan : byk sgt. bukan byk nak dibuat pun.. byk yang nak dipikirkan.. then pikirkan hal rumahtangga lagi nih.. (rumahtangga?? jeng jeng jeng...) .. apapun.. im counting days nak balik penang lagi sebulan nih.. mak ooiii.. lamanyer kan.. pecah rekod nih x balik penang 3 bulan!!

nowadays.. ibu sgt happy meng'entertain en.AZN. org dah boleh jalan ler.. so pepagi mesti ada activity morning walk.. petang pulak.. evening walk.. petang pun, kalau ibu xde meting baru boleh nak buat evening walk.. sbb slalu, bila meting abih lewat, nak masak lagi.. sure x sempat nak evening walk nyer..amik zarif pun sure dah dekat maghrib.. then we will had dinner together.. budak kecik ni makan bnyk la skang nih.. (sound like i forgot that i had a big baby now.. haha!) ..

for dinner, ibu will prepare 1 full plate of dishes, and a little for him (in his own plate/bowl) - dishes ibu tu, ibu akan bahagi pulak, 1/4 tuk org besar tu.. so, sesambil ibu makan, ibu suap la bahagian zarif.. dishes zarif tuh?? hehe.. zarif makan jugak.. tp biasa la.. budak baru belajar kan.. sure byk yg tumpah here n there.. kalau dah kosong, ibu top up la dgn bhgn dia tadi tuh..

buleh gitue?? yg pasti, zarif dah pandai suap pakai spoon.. rasa mcm sgt 'mechanical' tuk zarif nak pandai makan pakai spoon tuh. yer la kan, kalau x kena gaya pegang sudu, sure x dapat nak cedok nasik/dishes tu kan?? n dah sah-sah x dapat nak makan.. what a beautiful gift huh??

ni cerita kalau zarif 'do the bisnes'.. berak la.. susah sgt.. hehehe..

skang ni dia sgt sensitif. so, bila dia dah abih do the bisnes je.. dia pun dgn manja nyer datang la kat ibu.. dgn gaya manja dia.. cium2 ibu.. kalau kitorang kat hall.. dia akan ajak ibu naik atas.. n kalau kitorang dlm bilik kat atas.. dia akan amik pampers dia n bagi kat ibu.. then pegi carik towel dia.. n bagi kat ibu.. then dia akan struggle nak bukak suar dia.. time ni, dia dah dok depan toilet pun.. so, mmg ibu xde alasan nak delay or malas2 la yer.. haha..

sama la jugak kalau dia nak minum susu.. siap dia carikan botol, bawak p kat tempat susu dia.. n pastu standby pegang penutup botol dia masa ibu buat susu.. then bila dah abih count scoop susu dia.. dia pun letak la penutup botol dia.. letak penutup flusk air.. then pegi baring kat bantal dia..

huhuhuhu..kalau la sumer moment ni boleh dicapture kan?? mmg xkan dapat nyer.. sbb sumer ni adalah anugerah ALLAH untuk kita yg bergelar ibu.. kan kan kan????

p/s: NANA or NiEYZA, irfan or zara pakai tak dry-pants (aku nyer HUGGIES)?? huhuhu.. aku ada stok ni , almost 2 bag full sbb en. ZARIF itu kulitnya sgt sensitif. pakai 3x selang2 ngan pampers biasa dia, rashes nyer sampai 3 ari!!! oh, size M yer.. x sure zara pakai size apa.. irfan aku ingat muat..

it's been about a month of swingy mood of myself
--> for the known reason plus the bzness being a 'mother-preparing-juadah berbuka n sahur' that made my blog is left as u guys have seen it..

actually I have put 1 drafted post but, i yet do the touch up --> and its get delayed till today!! oh my..

well peeps, not to worry, i'm sure that i am back on track of my mood now (hihi).. my drafted post will be on my next post k!!

story bout zarif the lil charming boy..

he is going to enter his 1 year 3 months old in 2 days time, and he is now really a big boy!!

• i can left him alone watching tv with some snacks with him while i go upstair to do a quick washroom activities,
• he knows the borders of kitchen, stairs, rooms..
• he knows when i say " go to watch tv yer sayang " while i do the cooking --> he will really go to sit in front of the tv or at least, sit at the border so he can see me n tv at the same time..
• he knows when i say " baby dok sini kejap.. kejap je.. nnti ibu mai yer " --> he will really sit there until i come back to him (read: without crying)
• when i say .. " baby solat tak lagi nih.." --> he will stand up and sujud (sambil cium karpet or apa2 yg sedang dia pijak)
• he knows how to salam n cium tangan.. huh.. sgt best time salam raya.. hihi.
• when he cry out loud for susu, then i say "ok, ibu buat susu.. baby dont cry.. wait here k " --> he will stop crying and waited there for susu.. even if i go to wash the bottle first..
• di tgh malam, kalau tetiba dia teringat puting --> dia akan carik sendiri puting tu.. kalau ibu sorok.. dia pun buat la muka bersalah sbb x jumpa puting tu.. --> oh.. x tahan daulat tgk muka dia time ni, sure ibu bagi balik puting dia.. ahahahahah..
• when i say " i love you" --> he will look at me and kiss me!! wallla.. i love you la baby..
• .. and many mores.. that melts me down.. YA ALLAH.. aku bersyukur dengan kurniaanMU ini.. AMIN..

kisah ramadhan 1430H

Salam..

kawan2, mummies2, bloghoppers, ni la dia entry yang ibu prepared before raya aritu.. sket pun x de edit wording.. cuma edit allignment je ye.. hehehe..

** entry start here**

ramadhan 1430H
Assalamualaikum w.t.h.. mak oiii.. lamanyer x update blog kan.
well peeps, it is very soon that Ramadhan going to leave us (again).. and this going to be my one and only Ramadhan post.. wah wah wah.. what the super bz i am..
Frankly, this is my very first time having Ramadhan on my own. kenapa.. x percaya ker??
yearp peeps..

first time..

• berjauhan dari ibu & ibu mertuaku
• kena bangun sahur bukan setakat tuk makan je.. tp kena sediakan hidangan sahur.. huhuhuhu- berbuka pun of course la kena pikir jugak kan.. yer arr..
• masa anak dara sunti, wpun time dok umah sewa.. xde la adventerous sgt macam skang nih.. dulu kalau bangun ke, x bangun ke.. ok je.. nak nak pulak rumetkan ojah.. paham2 je la..
• masa dok ngan mak.. dah sah2 la bangun-makan- baru la take over dapur.. hehe.. tuk aktiviti kemas2 je la.. tu pun sbb nak terus g keja awai. kalau tidak.. harus tdo balik la lepas tuh..
• then, when i'm married to dearest hubby, dok pulak ngan MIL.. alahai.. sama je gaya macam dok ngan mak sendiri.. har har har.. (malas sungguh la kan?? ) tp xde la semalas kat umah mak sendiri.. jenuh kang diri ni kena hamput ngan MIL.. that was 2007 nyer ramadhan..
• then, 2008 nyer ramadhan, me-hubby on PJJ - so i stayed with my mum sbb zarif mak jaga.. + baru abih pantang time ni.. so, keadaan nya.. sama je la..

sampai la ketahun ini.. antara kenangan2 ramadhan setakat ari ini 1430H..

• lauk mmg get ready malam.. then sahur tu panaskan je..
• ada gak la kantoi.. kantoi bukan macam mama zhea tu boleh siap p masak la apa la.. mmg kantoi terus siang!!!
• baru pagi tadi 1st time bangun-masak nasi-lauk .. haha. tu pun sbb smalam tdo awal ..
• belom lagi jumpa murtabak yang best kat sini or maybe ibu x pandai carik
• dah jumpa popia goreng yang best, popia basah rasa nya xde lagi yang best macam maktok lisa punyer..huhuhu.. rindu la pulak popia maktok lisa.. hehehe...
• dah sampai ke param setiawangsa, semata2 tertengok Era TV ada tunjuk Nadia AF nyer popia basah... wakluu.. mmg best tgk isi popia tu, tp x merasa pun sbb masa sampai tu dah abih.. tinggal tuk org yang booking je..
• amik no tepon popia si nadia ni, tahun ni x sempat rasa, tahun depan boleh la booking n beli terus!!
• mood shopping x baper nak ada bulan ramadhan ni, sbb kat sini sgt la ramai org sampai naik pening la.. siap kena berebut la kalau baju longgok2 yang sale tuh..
• dah sampai jalan TAR, sogo, mencari barang raya, tp rasanya, kain sampin enhubby & naufal nnti balik penang la beli.. hahahah...
• blom beli kasut raya ibu & enhubby
• bukak puasa kat luar aka kedai - kedai depan umah -1x, setiawangsa -1x, seremban lepas melawat mama mikael -1x, shah alam -1x, ayam penyet -1x, tanjung harapan seafood, klang -1x. umah SIL -1x, lain2 sumer kat umah!!
• zarif akan *buka puasa* 1/2 jam lebih awal dari org lain, makan depan tv, n bila time buka puasa, dia join skali kat meja n paling last bangun antara semua!
• kami serumah diserang demam/batuk/sakit tekak mula ngan enhubby masa awal posa, sambung ngan zarif yang selsema then continue ngan ibu yang batuk/sakit kepala/sore throat.
• 2-3 kali jugak enhubby sedia kan sahur - tu time ibu x sihat.. tq darling.. i love you very strong.. *wink*wink*

**entry end here**

frankly, there was a swingy mood on me towards the end of the month. health condition wasnt that good.. work like "im going nowhere".. and myself really wasnt ME! until i found out the reason, i believe, things happen for a reason... i really thanks ALLAH for everything that happen to me.. and i always pray the best for myself, family, frens n everyone that i know... AMIN.

see ya guys in my next post!

selamat hari merdeka!!

ada yang bertanya..

salam to all my great readers..

posa dak arini nih??

(,")

hmm.. last week, masa berchatting2.. ada yang bertanya.. actually ayat penyata pun .. tp, myself agak2 it is 2-in-1.. statement

".. blog akak dah lama tak berupdate... "

ye.. lama kan x hapdet??

cerita kenduri pun ada 2-3 part lagi yang nak dpost kan..

2 weeks in PG, left the house to the heroes, korang paham2 je la sweet home jadi apa.. the first few days mmg aktiviti kemas umah & mendobi.. towards the weekend - mrHubby mula menunjukkan tanda2 panas badan + cough. asyue this time still had the bad cough, tp dah tak demam..

for that, i need to pay my extra attention to my lit'l debok.. haha.. bukan to mrHubby or asyuer yer..

bukan per.. that's the best practise for now due to the influenza pandemic situation. we try to avoid zarif to be near to abah n asyue.. muaahhahaha.. penangan nya sampai arini zarif merap ibu weihhh...

and also, the last day of that weekdays, abg boss pulak bagitau mrDirector nak visit PG plan, and there will be a meeting session scheduled for me ~ represent our team ..

arrrrggghhhh la ibu seketika..

so, lepas discuss with mrHubby ter-chenta, he allowed me to travel on late-sunday (16-aug), so i can get to office on monday..

well, thing wasn't run as planned..

mr Hubby's body temperature increase on saturday nite..

asyue bawak mrHubby to hospital.. first - they went to SunwayHospital ~ 2 docs, 1 was called for emergency case, left one.. patient punya la ramai.. mrHubby ckp, badan dia dah sakit2 sbb tunggu lama.. so, derang p pulak ke sjmc (now known as simedarby med center).. huhuhu.. mrHubby cakap, dari luar dah nampak org ramai nyer beratur..

(btw, i dont like to get emergency cases treatment here.. )

then terus la derang 2 org ni ke columbiaAsia med center.. hahaha.. doc siap tanya mrHubby nak warded ke tak.. kenapa?? sbb WARD FULL!!!!

due to this, ibu postphone my travel to late-monday..

meeting ibu is on wednesday anyway..

2 days ibu in PG ~ alone, hmm.. x sempat pun nak borak panjang ngan maktok puteh, jauh sekali nak melawat maktok Timah.. balik keje pun kul 8 lebih.. n wednesday tu ibu terus balik from office..

thanks to miss salbiah and co-pilot miss firzah for driving me to technoplex that wednesday morning..

again, left sweet home to 3 heroes this time.. paham2 ja la.... but it is still a sweet home... :D

besides to that.. hehe..actually, ibu ala2 teraddicted to farmville in FB.. ni sumer mrHubby la ni p ajak org main.. pastu ngan memasak for berbuka lagi.. jadi la org yang super bizi..

hahaha...

last one..

just nak share...

MomBloggersPlanet Cutest Baby with TOYS Contest

another round of contest from
MomBloggersPlanet
Cutest Baby with Toys

Here we go..
zarif & his favourite toy..
Brilliant Basics™ Poppity Pop™ Train
by Fisher-Price

name: ahmad zarif naufal

d-o-b: 4 july 2008

this toy designated for age 6 months & above, but i bought this (if im still recalled) when he celebrating his 5th month birtday.

Capturing the decription of this toy at FP webpage:

"Baby will be fascinated by the sounds and action of this delightful train! Colorful beads pop and bounce around in the smokestack, while a shiny background offers intriguing reflections"
my opinion of toys in childhood development? it is good simple thing that parents can do. but of course, the toy must be suitable for the babies and do not hazardous to the babies in any way. For my, with the participant of the parents, especially the mummies, parents-baby will be more closer and babies will learn in more interesting way.
Taking a guide on buying baby a toys from HelloBaby website:
0-1month

The newborn has limited senses and toys which provide stimulation can be useful. Baby has very limited vision so toys with strong contrasting colours and movement are suitable. Cot mobiles provide stimulation and brighten up the room. A simple activity gym on a floor mat also provides stimulation. Rattles are always appreciated by baby.

1-3 months

Baby is now developing rapidly and will be starting to lift his/her head and finding the world looks different! Playmats/activity gyms provide reaching shapes which baby can start to “punch”. Rattles attached to foot socks are also great for a good kick on the mat. These types of toys encourage the development of motor skills and hand to eye coordination. The use of texture is important and toys with multiple materials and sounds are appreciated by baby.

3-6 months

This is an exciting time as baby becomes more interested in the environment and his/her mouth! Baby will like to pick up small toys (but not so small that they could be swallowed) and turn them over in his hand – before having a good chew! Toys with sound will intrigue baby but remember that you will need to live with the tune! Designs which incorporate a number of different parts or sections, like stacking blocks, provide stimulation. Baby can be introduced to books – maybe books with animals which will give the Grandparents an opportunity to practice their farmyard sounds …or maybe not!

6-9 months

Baby may be sitting up by now and trying to crawl so toys which encourage crawling are good. These are toys which can roll such as wooden balls or soft balls with textures. This is a good time to introduce books with nursery rhymes and hand movement, maybe with a CD to help with the singing!

9-12 months

Baby is on the move! Sitting and crawling is now second nature and furniture walking is fun - if a little unstable. A 4 wheel trolley with a handle will encourage mobility. Baby is starting to become independent and exercise choice of play toys. Choosing a particular toy from the box is part of development. Manual dexterity is important so a toy which may be picked up and then opened or separated is fun. Baby will now enjoy musical toys and may have a special toy (make sure you have a backup special toy in case of loss). It should be noted that cuddly toys are more suited for older children.

Beside to that, the other area that I always looks for when buying a toy to zarif is on how safe is the toy? Well, there is a lot of toys outside there, from cheaper to expensive prices. Usually we will be able to see if there is any tiny part on the toys, or how easy the part can get dismental by our lit'l engineer.. BUT.. one thing that some parents do not know is - the material that makes up the toy.

What is contain inside each of the part?
Do the parents know about 6 chemical of concerns that hazardous to human?
Working as Subject matter expert-to-be at my company in this area for company's product (of course it is different view, different regulation) opened my eyes wider. It is better to buy a toys from a trusted/known company than you sorry for unforeseen killer... yes of course price do matter.. but.. but.. choice is yours..


Taking from HealthToy webpage:

Toys can contain a variety of chemicals of concern. The materials used in toys like plastics, paints, and fabrics are made up of chemicals, and may also contain added chemicals to impart specific properties such as rigidity, durability, flexibility or flame resistance. When children put these products into their mouths, some of these chemicals may enter their bodies. Some of the substances, which are not always chemically bound to the products, may also be released directly onto skin, or into the air that children breathe. There may also be exposure through chemicals that collect in house dust. However, the detection of a chemical in a product does not necessarily mean there is direct exposure. Because children's bodies are growing and developing, they are more vulnerable to the effects of toxic chemicals. Even small amounts of a chemical can impact a child's ability to reach his or her full potential. Children are exposed to toxic chemicals from many sources in addition to toys, and the combination of these many exposures may cause harm. Read more..

sharing is caring..

love from zarif, ibu & abah..
