ok na. dah abih. so, kita kawan yer??

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...

sharing kan caring..

ibu dah sebulan meroyan nak handbag nih..

oh yer.. kalau ada yang tak tahu..

tema blog ni adalah tema kaler raya tahun nih...

p/s: masuk kali ni, kali ke-6 zarif kena tinggal... huhuhu

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..

Kenduri - part 2 : hantaran

This is my hantaran for maksu. See that lil'l cute cuppies inside there?.

close up sket..

It was deliciously bake by kak Ana..

x tipu. maybe it sound like i do promotion here.. but it taste just nice.. x sweet.. x plain..

it just yummie..

that's my taste la.. lidah ibu..:p kalau org lain yang rasa x sure la plak kan..

thanks to kak ana for accepting my order wpun i make the order very the last minute.

it was monday that i did confirmed my order and i pick it up on thursday (it sound crazy huh?).

i ordered for a budget cuppies, but since kak Ana know that this is for hantaran, so she suggested me this kind of cuppies.. the idea is 100% kak ana..

i told her to do whatever that easy for her but still within my budget.

the decoration of the hantaran, i make myself.. sesapa yang nak upah saya.. boleh tinggal msg yer.. hahaha... cuppies boleh letak 7 ketul je dalam hantaran nih.. hahaha.. lain2 tu masuk perut sendiri.. ;)

(p/s: tokcik sempat tak rasa cuppies? aritu pesan kat tok ngah soh bagi tokcik rasa.. )

this is considered sireh junjong. this is along zira nyer hantaran, but, since we need the sireh junjong, so, we decided to modified it to be sireh junjong. haha.. janji ada.. drp xde langsung.

lain2 hantaran of the day.. :D


in a close up view..

bakul buah ni ibu yang deco gak.. hihi..

tu je n3 kali ni. title pun hantaran kan.. stay tune for more pix..

Kenduri - part 1 : ibu on off day

Okay, let me reveal the secret.. it was a planned for off day.

what i expect to be happen really happen during 3-days my boss visit.. bla bla bla.. it was a hectic day + a bored day for zarif i guess since there was really a limited time for 2 of us..

3 days is enuff for the visit. pull stop.

plus the 1 day left for me to cleared those pending jobs..

thanks to iJanNazriO for always be my right-left hand-leg.. ;)

right after work that thursday - i left office at 7pm - i shoot to sg 2 to pick up my cuppies for maksu's hantaran.. sory yer kak ana saya lewat.. huhuhu.. sampai rumah.. packing n ibu - zarif - maktok trus ke umah maktok kakak lisa.. di hantar oleh acik apis..

as always.. bila sampai je.. of course sessi soal-jawab aka borak2 maktok.. hmm.. i guess sampai kul 2am maktok, maktok kakak lisa & nenek x tdo2 lagi..

zarif? hmm.. maybe because he was on a car ride (happy mood).. and it almost his sweet dream time.. sampai je.. dia main kejap.. then zzzzz terus..

Tokcik arrived at 5am (my guess) - bukak mata dah nampak tokcik & tokcik Dan dah landing kat sblh. As usual - maktok, maktok kak lisa & nenek dok bersembang ler (at that subuh time?? hmm - that's norm. depa mmg macam tu. macam x jumpa setahun kalau dah bjumpa tuh!)

activity for Friday is not more than finished up the hantaran (this is for maksu ler - kalau x siap, lantak la ko bagi hantaran x siap maksu oit..).. sesi menggentel wadai kepeng (what's this?? hehe).. pasang khemah - this is for TokMat yer.. what's else ? Oh ya.. i do promise zarif for a buggy ride to taman in the late afternoon..

zarif was good.

maybe because i'm there - after wake up in the morning, we had breakfast - gardenia bread + milk mix with nestum. we played until his bath time. Then he slept.. i guess nearly 3 hours. the secret?.. ngeh ngeh ngeh.. tdo dalam buai kakak Lisa la..

when he woke up its already near 1pm - its raining outside so nothing much we can do ( yer le.. tgh ari bukan boleh nak g memana pun kan..) we had lunch - nasi + ikan goreng.. then we lepak2.. i let zarif watch tv n bersiar2 dlm umah tokngah.. his favorite place is tv la of course..trying hard to switch off tv but sampai sudah x dapat..

kakak lisa, along zira & along ekhwan arrived around 4 i guess.. tak tgk jam.. later.. asyue miera & asyue din pulak arrived.. abah zarif & asyue ayat?? they're dedicated employees.. working hard esp asyue ayat yang baru dapat first pay.. kuang kuang kuang..

Petang as promise to zarif.. ibu take him for a buggy ride to taman.. dapat la zarif lepas gian main menatang henjut2 tu.. hehe..

OK - that's for now. see the title? part 2 is coming soon..
