Motherhood journey

Amir is back!!

2012-02-14T17:19:00.000-08:00

Hello Ladies,

It's been a loooong time since my last entry in mommy's blog. I was 6 turning 7 months that time. Now, mommy is busy again. Helping her update this blog would be a delightful idea.

My name is Amir Hidayat Syah, in case you've forgotten. I am 17 months old. I really feel like a big boy now. I can make my own decision about something, I can be very clear — loud and clear — about what I do and don't want to do, to eat, to play. Mommy and baba should realize this and stop from being a control freak. I can do most of things on my own.

Mommy always says I'm clingy. Well, I am actually not but it doesn't means what mommy said is not true, of course mommy won't lie, it's just that I'm not. You get it right? I'm not clingy but mommy is not lying. It's just - I think mommy is the only safe person to be with and to show just how upset and frustrated I can get. Certainly baba is another safe person to be with if only mommy is not around. And he definitely the best person to play with. When I see him chasing after me, it makes me scare and I run, but it's fun. When mommy try to chase me, I just come towards her, no need to chase me, I'm coming to you.

There are times mommy thinks I disobey her order, especially in the kitchen.She say, "Please stay away from the gas stove, it's hot!" and I look right at her, reaches out, and touches the gas stove, "hot.. hot" - I say.
You know, this isn't disobedience, this shows that I got her message, so she should not let the defiance become a big deal, mommy should be proud of me - I can understand the message. And I can say hot too.

Once I turned 16 months, I thrive on routine, I remember each step of a particular ritual -

To take a bath, take off shirt and pants. Put into the laundry basket. Walk to the bathroom and must take the baby bath tub and bath toys. Fill water, and let me play with water before bathe me. Then, mommy must make bubbles.
Before go back to our home from ibu's place, I must salam Wa, Kakak Jana, Kakak Farhana, Ayah, Abang and Ibu. For Abang and Ibu, they got a special treat - A biiiiiiig Hugggg! And wave a bye-bye to everyone.
When baba reaches home from work, once I heard door is opening, I will run towards the door and salam baba. There was this one time, instead of salam baba I pointed to his feet. At first, they don't understand. I did it many times then only they realized there's a hole in his sock! And they made a big fuss of it. I was just trying to help, you see..

I can be quite adamant about following rituals, some of which may make no sense to mommy. For instance, when mommy tuck me into bed at night, I may insist to hold a ball together. But, I'm not that very particular like other toddlers, all balls are my favorite - very small ball, medium ball or the biggest Upin Ipin ball. Sometimes mommy asked 'Camane mommy nak tidur ni?? I don't have an answer for her, all I want is to hold a ball. I have no idea if this demand may annoys mommy ;p

I wish I could have written a lot more about me and my family. We went to the Zoo last weekend. I would love to share the pictures however mommy just told me I can't upload any due to storage for photo has exceeded. She will figure out what to do pertaining to this matter and I'll continue playing.

Please don't miss me coz I'll be back!!

Life is hectic for the moment

2012-01-27T00:22:00.000-08:00

Pejam celik, pejam celik.. hampir sebulan tak update blog.

Pejam celik, pejam celik.. Amir dah menjangkau ke 17 bulan, 1 tahun 5 bulan.

Pejam celik, pejam celik.. dah nak habis semester break, masuk bulan Februari bermulah hari-hari gila saya, kelas malam!

Pejam celik, pejam celik.. lagi 2 bulan, usia masuk ke kategori lewat 20-an. Ugh.

Dari tadi asyik pejam celik, pejam celik.. apa pun tak cita lagi.

The phrase "Working mother" is redundant

Sepanjang bulan January ni, memang sibuk. Sibuk dengan kelas mengajar, habis kelas cepat2 duduk kat meja dan buat kerja. Bila dah siap kerja (atau partially siap ;p ), cepat2 berkemas balik rumah, uruskan Amir dan hal-hal rumah. Mujur kelas PhD start somewhere in February, adalah sedikit ruang untuk bernafas. Now I wonder macam mana lah emak kepada ramai anak. Hah, bila cerita pasal diri sendiri memang takde idea.. ;p Jom tukar topik..

The Weekender

Setiap minggu dalam bulan ni, without fail mesti ada aktiviti..

Father in law's Birthday, Baba Tok

We went to Kaklong's place to celebrate Baba's birthday. BBQ!

Take note pada budak baju pelangi....

See, masih lagi clingy.

Amir and Cousins

Minggu seterusnya...

Curve, Swimming Time!, Cousin's Wedding at Klang

Amir ni eksyen je nak naik kereta bagai....

Bila dah naik ....

Maaaaaa......!

Yang dia sebenarnya nak sibukkan ialah...

Remote control.

Petangnya pula kami bercemporo kek ghumah Pak Ngah..

Sampai dah biru bibir, kecut jari kaki dan tangan pun tak nak naik.

Malamnya pulak, dinner di Satay Hj Samuri, Taman Melati

Bonding time with kakak-kakak.

Besoknya, kami ke Klang to attend my cousin's wedding

Bagaikan pinang dibelah dua.

Amir dan Amani, pun nak jadi pengantin...

Tapi, mommy dah kata umur 35 baru boleh kahwin tau?!

Lovely family.

Dari Klang, kami ramai-ramai ke Shah Alam pulak melawat Atuk dan Opah

Too early to call a day, Kakngah ajak balik Kajang pulak petang tu.. Nah, bonding time with Ami's family..

Selesailah satu weekend di bulan January ini. Mari lihat apa ada minggu seterusnya...

Last week, ada wedding jugak.. Time school holiday ni, wedding je manjang

Dah selesai wedding, gathering bersama kawan-kawan Uni dan lecturer yang kebetulan datang KL.

It was funny, two of us are lecturers. Bila cerita pasal student, mesti Cik Noor (lecturer kami) dalam hati cakap 'Macam tu lah korang dulu'

Then kitaorang balik Kuala Pilah. Memang anak kesayangan ibu bapa ni, balik kampung je keje.. apa jenis kenduri pun balik ;p

Kenduri kahwin cousin belah dia (lelaki) pulak..

Teruja ke dengar Pak Su menyanyi?

No, thanks.

Kalau minggu lepas, bercemporo kat swimming pool, bila balik kampung no swimming pool, kita mandi dalam kolam! Jyeah!

Macam ni lah mommy dulu masa kecik, in fact kolam yang dijadikan swimming pool tu jauh lebih kecil lagi.

Amir dok pegang dinding kolam sebab... Emak dia ada kat situ, kalau nak suruh dia jalan ke tengah, jawabnya mommy kene masuk sekali.

Petangnya pula, kami pergi menjenguk kombar (kembar). Ini memang dah jadi rutin bila balik kampung.

Tapi abang je ada menyambut kami, si adik sedang lena.

Selesai beramah mesra dengan kombar, kami bertolak pulang ke KL. Sebab ada acara lain pulak (phew)

BBQ di rumah Abg Amril (biras)

Amir sedang enjoy makan satay daging.

Amir dan Aysha

Bayang-bayang Amir?

Hyper setelah makan 3 cucuk satay.

The host. Kakngah and Aysha.

Fuh, mengalahkan program YB. Itu sahaja lah laporan mingguan saya pada kali ini. Laporan seterusnya entah bila ada masa nanti saya update.

Year End Trip - Desaru > JB > JPO

2012-01-05T17:34:00.000-08:00

Semangat tahun baru!

Dah 6 hari masuk tahun 2012, baru terhegeh-hegeh nak update upload ;p

Now, I'm back by popular demand! ;p (walhal husband sorang je demand entry baru bila lama tak update)

Annual trip buat family kecil kami tahun ini adalah di sekitar Johor Bahru. Juga disertai oleh Mama Ami dan Mak De, his aunt.

Kami bermalam di Sebana Golf and Marina Resort, Kota Tinggi. 20km away from Desaru. Tempatnya agak sunyi, tak ramai orang. According to cousin, this place used to be a high-end stay for some rich and well-known people. Most probably now dah tak well-maintained lagi.

Tapi keadaan rumahnya sangat-sangat lah selesa, it's 1 and half storey apartment. Fully furnished, siap ada washer machine. Anyway, camane boleh 'tertinggal' dekat sini.. This is one of Maybank's apartment for staff. And the only place that available that husband managed to secure hujung-hujung tahun tu...

Day 1
Seawal 7 pagi dah keluar rumah, pergi ambil Mama di Kajang and meneruskan perjalanan ke JB untuk ambil Makde. Anak mommy yang baik lagi murah hati iaitu Amir Hidayat Syah, tak meragam dalam kereta. Alhamdulillah. Tapi dari KL sampai ke RnR Pagoh langsung tak tidur. Bila dapat je keluar kereta, terus Amir berjalan ke sana ke mari, stretching kaki kot...

Fuh, nasib baik lepas dah penat berjalan satu RnR, Amir terus terbungkang ;p

Pit-stop pertama, rumah Mak De di Taman Gembira. Lunch terus di sana. Amir pun dapat main dengan Qaseh, cucu Mak De. Surprisingly, Amir bukan main suka dengan Qaseh. Ke hulu ke hilir ikut Qaseh. Maybe because Qaseh is friendly enough and rajin layan Amir.

Dah selesai solat Zuhur, kami terus bertolak ke Kota Tinggi melalui highway baru ke Desaru dari JB. Ada satu jambatan yang menarik....

Around 3-4 pm, we safely arrived at Sebana...

Siap ada babycot. Sayangnya dah lama kami tak tidurkan Amir dalam babycot. Sebab mommy malas nak bangun and duduk untuk bf Amir. Sekarang main tarik2 je Amir malam2 ;p

Kepenatan.

Malamnya pula kami dinner di Sungai Rengit. Tak banyak pilihan, tapi not so bad, badan pun dah penat makan saja lah apa yang ada.

Memang confirm penat. Tengok sajalah muncung Amir.

Mommy pun sama, dah sememeh je muka.

Day 2

Harini kami akan bersiar-siar di JB. Yang paling penting, nak ke Johor Premium Outlets. Wuuhuu. Mak tak tidur okeh nak pergi JPO. Konon nak shopping sakan.

Dalam pukul 1 jugak sampai di JPO. Mula-mula, kita makan dulu kasi recharge tenaga!

Duta Maybank.

2 orang Mommy's boy! Hehe

Lepas makan, terus rasa teruja nak shopping ni. Kami mulakan dengan tingkat atas dulu. Naik escalator je terus nampak Playground. Potong Stim! Kena lah singgah sekejap.

"Cepatlah Amir.. cepatlah habis main huhu"

So apa yang di shopping sakan dekat JPO sampai tak lena tidur malam selagi tak sampai?

NONE.

Ramai kawan2 tanya, best tak JPO? Apa ada? Murah tak? etc

Ni kesimpulan saya:

Basically JPO ni memang best, barang2 branded dijual dengan harga yang jauh lebih murah. Antara brand yang ada DKNY, Esprit, Nike, Padini, Roxy, Salvatore Ferragamo, Timberland, Adidas, Guess, Cotton On, Burberry, Coach, G200, Charles and Keith dan banyak lagi. Haritu tak masuk pun Coach, sebab kena queue kat luar. Maybe sebab diorang tak nak bagi ramai sangat masuk at one time. Same goes to Burberry, kene queue kat luar. Tak lah panjang macam Q during warehouse sale. Sebenarnya plan nak cari baju and kasut.

Sayangnya takde yang berkenan. Pilihan baju sangatlah limited. Kalau ada yang suka, mungkin size pulak takde. Atau kalau ada pun, just T-shirt biasa. Samalah macam shoes, kat Charles and Keith semuanya high heels, takde pun wedges. Langsung takde. Design high heels pulak, biasa je. lebih baik beli dekat KL masa christmas sale haritu. Siap round kat kedai2 tu sampai 2-3 kali. Memang takde apa yang boleh dibeli.

Baju-baju for toddler pulak, pun takde yang sesuai untuk dibeli. Guess and Gap, baju untuk baby banyak lah, newborn to 9 months. Dekat Poney pulak, baju Girl je yang ada. Haish, memang stress. Kasut Clarks untuk toddler pun murah, RM90. Ada 1 size sahaja iaitu 4. Alahai, tensed tau!

Tapi, lucky enough for Ami. He bought Levis jeans and kasut basketball Nike. For half price from original. See, bukan lah takde barang sangat. Tapi kemungkinan untuk tidak ada yang berkenan tu tinggi sebab pilihan tak banyak. Contohnya di Levis, adalah 2-3 design untuk t-shirt perempuan tapi langsung takde jeans for women.

Anyway, mungkin keadaan macamtu disebabkan JPO ni baru bukak early december. Akhir tahun pulak tu, so harap-harap this year dia update lah barang-barangnya okay!

Memang stress tau, aku yang paling semangat nak pergi, aku yang paling takde apa nak beli. Even mother in law pun beli cardigan Esprit ;p Original price RM200 lebih, dapat RM99.

Hah! Stress!

Okay next, kitaorang singgah rumah Mak De sebelum ke rumah Pak Cik Man for dinner. Amir jumpa Qaseh lagi. Yeay!! Ada orang layan Amir :)

Terus kami bawak Kak Ina and Qaseh join trip kami sekali.

Malam ke-2 di JB, kami dinner di rumah Cik Man. Memang cadangan yang bagus ajak si Qaseh, dapat mommy makan dengan tenang. Lebih-lebih lagi di rumah Cik Man ada playroom, memang Amir lupa dunia.

This is Zayyad, dua pupu Amir. Today is his birthday. Happy Birthday, Zayyad!

Dari JB, pulang semula ke Sebana. Jalan masuk Sebana memang sunyi dan gelap, malam tu dapat kami tengok satu family wild boars, live! Excited semua orang hehehe

Day 3

Harini plan nya nak picnic di Desaru sebelum pulang ke KL.

Early birds!

On our way to Desaru, dalam kawasan Sebana lagi, ada sekumpulan monyet tengah main-main tepi jalan. Terus stop tepi jalan nak tengok monyet dari dalam kereta. Semuanya excited sekali lagi tengok binatang ;p Tak payah susah-susah include activity ke Zoo dalam trip ni. Amir pun bukan main lagi excited sehinggalah....

Salah seekor monyet melompat ke atas side mirror, betul-betul depan muka dia. Terus terkejut dan melekat dengan mommy ;p

Pantai Desaru

Alololo sayang mama ni.. ;p

Selesai beriadah di pantai, kami pulang ke Sebana untuk siap-siap pulang ke KL. Back to reality! Ugh.

Singgah lunch di Restoran Anisofea, Tmn Mount Austin

Last but not least, singgah di Ayer Hitam.

THE END.

p/s: Amir dah menangis suruh mommy bagi perhatian sepenuhnya kepadanya.

The Malaysian Women's Weekly Makes It Happen 2012: Meeting Stylist

2011-12-16T23:07:00.000-08:00

On top of the prizes that I'm entitled to as the winner of Fashion category, Malaysian Women's Weekly magazine is generous enough to offer me a consultation session with a stylist from Debenhams. I went to meet him at Debenhams Lot 10 this morning. I thought the session would be just a discussion, good enough I had the chance to try few dresses and they advise me on how should I dress up. And see what kind of clothing that suits me best.

This is seriously fun. But it's over! ;p

Sorry ye Amir, mommy in the limelight kejap...

I selalu reject idea to wear a skirt, too feminine and I think I don't look good in it..

Vintage shoes. Yang ni mungkin nak beli.

They said in this dress I looked more mature. Na, I want to be forever young ;p

Dress for dinner. Which xtau bila nak pakai kalau beli kan..

But......

I heart this so much!! Not too fancy neither too plain. Boleh pakai dengan legging.

They asked me to pick the best two for Saturday event. So I chose the first red shirt and vintage skirt and the last one. Ok lah kot ek...

Walaubagaimanapun, tak pasti nak beli dress-dress tu atau tak. Voucher nya RM1000 tapi kalau dress more than RM250, dapat berapa helai je nanti. Being typical me, shirt and pant are fine :) Sure mamat tu menyesal bagi advice macam-macam he he he. But they're very helpful though.. and I am so thankful :)

*Wanita berdiri di tengah itulah watak sebenar. Gambar yang kat atas2 tu palsu belaka ;p

Christmas Luncheon with the less fortunate

2011-12-15T01:14:00.000-08:00

This year, Faculty of Management and IT (FMIT) has invited the kids from Prescious Home to join us for the lunch.

I was a bit late to reach Le Quadri Restaurant, UCSI after meeting the stylist. Once I stepped in, to see so many kids.. and then realized that they are less fortunate, it brought tears to my eyes.

He's the youngest. Very cheeky.

Ada nyanyi-nyanyi lagi....

This is friendly Marcus :)

Budak ni dengan semua orang pun nak.. Amir, nanti mommy hantar belajar bersosial dgn friend ni okay.

The Company.

We had a very great time with the children!!

Look who came to mommy's school!

2011-12-13T17:25:00.000-08:00

"Prof, can you change your boring topic to Ball?"

Teruskan membaca.

The Weekenders

2011-12-11T17:52:00.000-08:00

Since Baba takde kat rumah the whole day on Saturday due to training. Cepat-cepat mommy and Amir booked his time on Sunday untuk pergi jalan-jalan.. Ke mana lagi kalau bukan tempat jatuh lagi di kenang, Mutiara Damansara

Sebelum mengerah tenaga berjalan di Curve - IPC - Ikano, kita makan dulu....

Di Restaurant Sari Ratu

Muka excited nak makan

Makanannya tak boleh challenge di Natrabu Jakarta
*Flashback*

Destinasi seterusnya ke Ikano Power Centre (IPC). Gotta meet up with a colleague who has business opportunity for us at 3pm. Tapi sebab sampai awal, kita ke Brands Outlet dulu

Terus Amir dapat sebuah beg dan tumbler Ben10 ;p Buy 1 Free 1 for RM19.90. I love Brands Outlet!

Yang bestnya jalan-jalan dekat shopping mall dekat-dekat dengan festival is the decoration.

Decoration dekat IPC

Duck. A big one.

Masa Mommy and Baba tengah meeting, Amir beramah mesra dengan other kids..

Selamba je mamat ni..

Orang main dekat pintu, dia pun sibuk ikut. Bila ada orang nak lalu, mommy yang kena alihkan kamu semua.

Amir memang suka main dengan budak besar. Tapi bukan orang besar.

Next, kita ke The Curve.

Decoration di The Curve.

Bila sampai di The Curve, mcm biasalah bawak Amir main di kids area while mommy pergi cekidout Debenhams ;p

Lucky enough, we met Santa Claus!!

..tapi Amir cuak ;p

The final stop; Ikea.

Tapi time ni Amir dah flat. Habis je tawaf Ikea, Amir terus pengsan.

Bila tersedar je dari pengsan, terus rasa lapar. Habis setengah hotdog Amir makan ;)

"Let me go! Put me down!"

Alamak, mommy rindu lah dengan Amir.

One surprising news!

2011-12-08T19:55:00.000-08:00

The Malaysian Women's Weekly magazine has been promoting WIN A LIFE MAKEOVER! or The Malaysian Women's Weekly Makes It Happen 2012 campaign in their Nov issue.

This morning I received a call from MWW. She said ... bla bla bla workshop on Saturday bla bla bla must come for fashion consultation at Debenhams bla bla bla.. I was a bit blur maybe more to surprise. So I just wait for her email to know the details. While waiting for her email, I browsed information regarding to this campaign. I found their Facebook. I can't recall the whole idea of this makeover because I didn't buy the magazine, I just borrowed from a friend ;p

But when I received her email...... I think have been chosen as the Fashion category winner for The Weekly Makes It Happen 2012 campaign. Ngeeeee. Aiya, not think one... I'm sure this is for real because she said Congratulations! maaa.. Bold some more! ;p
Therefore, I have to attend a coaching session/workshop at KL Hilton and a fashion consultation at Debenhams next week.

Clinique skincare and make-up hamper worth RM1,000
Rilax product hamper worth RM1,000

Ah, feel good!

Atuk dan Opah

2011-12-08T17:22:00.000-08:00

Ini Atuk dan Opah Yusuf Zidane. Mertua kepada my late brother. Disebabkan dari sebelum kahwin, Cik Nor (me) selalu je menepek dekat rumah Atuk & Opah, datang menjenguk anak-anak buah, jadi Atuk & Opah dah jadi sangat rapat.

Atuk & Opah ni bekas cikgu, kalau memberi nasihat tu.. lembut je bunyinya. Kalau beri nasihat tu berhemat je bunyinya. But what I respect the most, the bond between both of them. According to my sis in law, kalau seorang nak keluar ke mana-mana, yang lagi sorang mesti ikut. Berdua je ke mana-mana. They way they talk to each other pun baik aje bunyinya.

I personally terhutang budi dengan mereka. Urusan pengebumian arwah Banglang, mereka sekeluarga lah bersusah payah uruskan. Seakan-akan menguruskan jenazah anak sendiri. Masa I sampai di rumah diorang pada hari pengebumian Banglang, Atuk hugged me tight. Just like, we both felt the same pain, equally the same.

Lebih terharu bila masa ahli keluarga semua dibenarkan cium jenazah, sedih sangat bila dengar apa yang Opah cakap pada Banglang 'Eddie, mak halalkan makam minum Eddie..' She kissed my brother just like her own son. Mulianya hati. Sebelum jenazah dibawa ke tanah perkuburan, Atuk mewakili keluarga kami minta maaf kepada saudara-mara, rakan-rakan arwah. Atuk acknowledge my visits to their house all this while, and cakap dia faham kalau lepas ni Cik Nor mungkin sibuk uruskan anak dan keluarga, mungkin tak dapat datang sekerap dulu. Atuk mintak hubungan antara keluarga kami dan dia terus kuat walaupun Banglang dah tiada.

Selepas ketiadaan Banglang, Atuk & Opah la tolong tengok-tengok kan isteri dan anak-anak arwah. Mujur memang mereka tinggal serumah. Kadang-kadang Atuk bawak Yusuf pergi Seven Eleven, sebab Banglang selalu bawak Yusuf pergi SevenE. Atuk somehow macam meneruskan tanggungjawab Banglang. Bila Kak Ben keluar bekerja, Atuk dan Opah la menjaga Kasih.

Ya, Allah! Kau panjangkan lah usia kedua mereka agar dapat anak-anak buahku menumpang kasih sayang..

Memang selalu doakan agar Atuk & Opah dipanjangkan usia dan dijauhkan dari penyakit, dapat temankan Kak Ben dan anak-anak. Dan dapat Yusuf, Zul dan Kasih balas semula jasa mereka.

Last Sunday, singgah rumah diorang. Bawa buah rambutan dari Kuala Pilah. Tapi tak sempat jumpa Atuk & Opah. Kak Ben kata Atuk tak sihat, muntah-muntah sampai tak nak makan. So Opah pun jadi tak de mood sebab Atuk tak nak makan. Masa I datang tu diorang berehat dalam bilik.

Hari Isnin lepas, Atuk admitted di DEMC. Doctor suspect ada problem with his heart. Semalam Atuk dah dipindahkan ke IJN. After a thorough diagnosis, he has 3 blockages, water retention and liver infection. I feel for his family especially my sister in law. He is so close to my heart. A very nice and humble person I've ever met. Harap Atuk akan sihat macam biasa lepas undergo all the necessary treatment. Atuk cakap dekat Kak Ben before he left for IJN 'Kak Chik, abah Okay'

But I know how worried is my sister in law. I pray hard for all of them. And I'm sure ada ramai lagi akan doakan Atuk. And if you read this, tolong doakan kesihatan dan kesejahteraan Atuk ya...

Your doa is much appreciated!

Starz Garden, Sogo Part II

2011-12-07T18:06:00.000-08:00

First time, Amir datang ke Starz Garden, masa umur 7 bulan.

Rambut pun belum ada lagi ;p

Pantang semua benda bulat semuanya ball, sekecil-kecil benda bulat pun dia nampak and say ball; lampu jalan, benda bulat dekat pencawang elektrik, corak bulat dekat baju mommy, butang baju!

Takpelah, yang penting Amir happy.

Amir, happy takkkk??

HAPPYYYY.......!

INFO: Contraceptive Injections

2011-12-05T17:57:00.000-08:00

Depo-Provera
It provides contraceptive protection for three months (12 weeks).

Ways of preventing pregnancy

stopping the ovaries releasing an egg each month
stopping sperm reaching the egg by thickening the mucus from the cervix
stopping the egg settling in the womb

Advantages

It's highly effective.
It doesn't interfere with sex.
The injection provides some protection against both cancer of the womb and pelvic inflammatory disease.
It can be used by women who are breastfeeding.
You don't have to think about contraception for as long as it works.

Disadvantages

The injection can cause irregular bleeding or longer periods.
BUT Some women find their periods stop completely
While others have frequent, light bleeding. Irregular bleeding can continue for some months after stopping the injections.
Some women experience side effects including weight increase, headaches, acne, breast tenderness, mood swings and bloating.
The injection cannot be removed from the body. If side effects occur, they'll last as long as the injection does and sometimes longer.
Your fertility and periods can take a while to get back to normal after stopping Depo-Provera.

Contraceptive injections don't suit everyone. Depo-Provera and affects on bone density and growth Women who use Depo-Provera have been shown to have lower bone mineral density than women who don't use it. It is not known if this effect increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures in later life.

Own experience

I had the first jab end of October, my period came after two weeks. I initially thought that my menstrual cycle will stop. Even worst, my period lasted so long. I was a bit worried in case it caused by something else that I don't know but I found out from my sister one of the side effect is longer periods. She herself has been taking this injection for more than 3 years.

When I consult with gynae, he said to avoid such situation, the 2nd jab can be taken a month after, not 3 months. And we can actually perform our solat after the 14th day. So I took the 2nd jab last Saturday, my period has stopped 1-2 days later. Unlike my cousin, she said her menses stopped ever since taking the 1st injection.

Now I believe the side effects might be vary from one to another. Some people experience all the negative effect while some others have no complication at all. I experienced nothing but the longer period.
And some might argue why people opt for this not other way to prevent pregnancy, well it's really up to your judgment what best for your situation. Of course go for natural way is always the best option but... discipline can be one of the critical issue ;)

Sharing is caring!

Critter Land

2011-11-28T22:12:00.000-08:00

Critter Land is a multi-level, state-of-the-art kid's jungle gym featuring a multitude of specially designed interactive equipment for children. Located at Heritage Village, opposite The Mines.

What do they have?

The Lava Dome - where kids can erupt a volcano of sponge balls --> Masa kitaorg pergi, Out of Service. Gaya macam dah lama je out of service.
Slippery Slides - 3-storey slides made for racing, 3 at a time
Sponge Drop - flying fox and rope swings

Rate
RM15 per entry on weekday
RM22 per entry on Public Holiday / School Holiday
Adult FREE.

Basically, memang enjoy la pergi ke play gym ni. Especially kids, toddler macam Amir mungkin tak pandai nak appreciate kesemua permainan. Tapi ada jugak yang tak best pasal tempat ni:

1) Staff yang kurang friendly
Last two weeks, kami bertiga dah sampai ke sini. My SIL yang informed about this place. Bila tengok dari luar, permainan memang banyak dan tempat besar. Tapi memikirkan rate yang sedikit mahal, entah berapa lama je Amir tahan main kat dalam tu, so kitaorg cancel masuk. Before leaving, bertanya soalan kepada 2-3 staff yang ada kat kaunter. Sorang je berusaha jawab itu pun mcm tak nak layan, yang lain sibuk tengok komputer - Facebook lah apa lagi. Dengan bukak lagu dekat handphone nya. Maka confirm lah kami malas nak masuk.

2) Toilet adalah kotor.
Tapi this place claimed to be so hygiene, siap kene pakai stocking kalau nak masuk kat play gym area. Tapi bila I masuk toilet, dengan kotornya.. Tisu penuh dalam toilet bowl. Tisu kat tempat tisu yang kosong. And again, staff nya sibuk 'iron' rambut dalam toilet, bukak lagu kuat2. Serious, this place is out of my list.

But overall, memang enjoy. Mungkin sebab pergi ramai-ramai. Plus tak ramai orang lain so tempat itu kami yang punya.

Ceritanya, my eldest sis in law bersungguh ajak pergi. Especially, her son, Adam memang suka datang sini. Well, walaupun agak frust masa pergi ke Critter Land ni minggu lepas, we just take it as family time.

All in one 'bus'! Time ni je masing-masing dah start excited

We were lucky enough, the place was not crowded. Memang tak ramai orang compare to our first visit. At least, kanak-kanak kecil yang bertiga tu boleh enjoy themselves.

Rupa-rupanya, sebab tak ramai orang.. kanak-kanak besar pun boleh enjoy themselves!

Trampolines. Fuh, seronok betul kami semua melompat-lompat atas bendalah ni.

Amir tak berapa kisah sangat permainan lain Kecuali BALL.

Ada tempat untuk berehat..

Dan tempat untuk berparty.

Dan puas main, kami berjalan-jalan dekat lake..

Auuumm!

Fun-filled evening!

Amir punya energy sampai ke malam, lepas main dia tak tidur langsung. Emak dia yang pancit sebab melompat-lompat, terbongkok-bongkok kejo Amir.

OFF TOPIC: I'm struggling but Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah and Alhamdulillah

A Little Person Part II

2011-11-20T23:33:00.000-08:00

Lepas je mommy record development Amir di entry yang lepas, last week.. Bertambah-tambah pulak lagi karenah Amir. Memaksa mommy menulis entry Part II ini.. *wink*

Keesokkan harinya mommy dapati Amir dah pandai

korek hidung..

Selain itu, Amir tau cotton bud itu untuk mengorek telinga, juga Amir tau cara nak pakai deodorant dekat underarm. Semua hasil tunjuk ajar baba.

Amir makin banyak membebel.. "bhutha.. bhuta.. bhutha.. bubu.. " Only God knows what..

Amir dah tau cakap 'tak nak' dan memang langsung tak nak, tak boleh kompromi.

Sekarang Amir sepak bola bukan main kuat lagi, berdentam-dentum kene dinding and barang-barang rumah.

Dah pandai tiup recorder, walaupun kadang-kadang terdengar suara dia keluar sekali. Nafas aje la keluarkan..

Dan, kalau dibiarkan macam ni....

Terasa aman masa mommy and baba candle-light dinner...

Amir makin enjoy copycat orang.. sampaikan bila baba borak2 dengan kawan, Amir siap ikut gaya kawan baba lagi.. Aiyo.

Kalau berdiri tu bukan main eksyen lagi..

Dan yang paling menghiburkan hati mommy ialah...

Berjaya berjalan-jalan keliling bilik, dari dapur masuk ke bilik..

This is what we called Walking! Jyeah!!

A Little Person

2011-11-17T19:35:00.000-08:00

Amir has turned 14 months old. He yet to walk on his own steadily while other toddlers, especially his cousins started walking when they were 10 months young or later at 1 year of age. Frankly speaking, I was a bit gloomy in that sense. Especially when we meet toddler younger or at his age, they are already running around. And when we spoke to their parents ‘Oh, she’s started walking at 9 months’. Hehe.

Well, I do know toddler growth is different from one to another. Furthermore, it’s not that my sonny cannot walk at all but he chooses to start walking later than his parent’s expectation. At first we thought he will start walking at 12 months, it didn’t happened so we extend to 14 months. It’s still not happening, maka kita bagi masa sampai setahun setengah ;p

Nevertheless I can see he enjoys walking especially he is so into kicking ball these days. But, he wants to hold mommy’s fingers for support! He grips my finger so tightly, rasa macam nak patah. Because he knows if he hold loosely, my fingers will slip away from his ;p Mommy always tries to step aside to let him walk on his own. He can walk, of course. He has taken many small steps since last few weeks. But once he fell off, he will cry for 911, someone MUST come rescue and hold him. He’s now too complaisant with someone else hold him while walking and kicking around. One funny thing, everytime when he with his own initiative to try walking.. he will do it sambil senyum kambing + gelabah looking at people surround him. I was like, ‘Helloo.. it’s normal for you to walk, nak malu-malu kucing buat apa’ Hehehe. Amir si busuk masam mommy. But you’re such a cutie at that moment.

Despite of the delay of crawling (Amir started crawling when he nearly turned 1) and walking, I honestly grateful on his brain development.
Amir likes to watch TV and he knows to request when he wanna watch his favorite VCD, Wheels on the bus. We bought him many VCD from Baby Enstein collection. But he likes this VCD that I borrowed from my company’s library. That VCD is quiet an old one, I saw the year was 2001. They claimed that they’re the world’s first 3D animated musical for children. Can you imagine how old is that? Haha. The picture is a little bit funny not like nowadays cartoon; they look so real and nicer. But the story is very interesting though especially the characters. Featuring Beep the Bus and his friends Bass, Sax, Trombone and Drum, not forgetting Daisy the dog. Join them in their adventures in Sing Song City, where almost everyone and everything is magically musical. - dah macam iklan.

In fact, Ami and I were sitting still and enjoying the story as well. At the beginning lah, after months and Amir keeps asking us almost daily to play the VCD once we reached home, there it comes the ‘arghhh’ moment. Last night, suruh pasang VCD masa minit-minit terakhir game MAS vs IND, mana boleh! Last-last tertidur dia, sian..
The best part is, ada subtitle in English so Ami and I will sing along with them. Mesti Amir ingat terornya mak bapak aku nyanyi, hafal semua lagu. But the VCD really helps to make Amir be still and sometimes sampai tertidur dia tengok cite tu.

Kusyuk tengok TV.

Recently we, oh no his dad again bought new VCD collection from Brainy Baby. He said 'ni bagus ni untuk left brain and right brain bla bla bla bla' Ok, saya pecaya judgment awak, pergi aje lah ke kaunter. Starting from there on, dia asyik suruh pasang VCD tu pulak. Menambahkan collection VCD untuk di paksa pasang oleh Amir.

Amir also enjoys playing with flash cards. We started playing with him since 4-5 months if I’m not mistaken. Now he can recognize the images on the card and the real object. Like dog, cat, book and many others. One day, he took one of the flash cards and put at his ear. I’m quite surprised and check what picture on the card. Oh, it’s a telephone! Credit to his baba always play the cards with him. Kalau dengan mommy, duduk melangok je depan TV ;p Last few days, again when mommy duduk melangok depan TV, Amir was playing with his flash cards and suddenly he went to the couch and tepuk-tepuk sofa tu. Mommy yang terkejut “Apa citer?”, oh rupanya he saw card with couch picture on it :) Again, baba dia punya kerja ngajor ‘couch..’ sambil tepuk-tepuk sofa.

Flash card lesson at 7 months old

From day one, I knew that Amir was a little copycat. At 8-9 months he was mimicking his uncle, sapu minyak rambut – at first he observed, then he right away mimicking – gosok-gosok tangan and sapu dekat kepala (yang tak berapa nak ada rambut masa tu). And these days, he enjoys copying more of our actions – sneezing, coughing (sampai dia betul-betul batuk, muka merah), laughing (the evil laugh: Muahahaha), reading book, reciting doa makan – tapi entah bahasa apa dia guna. You know what, he imitates most of what his father doing, I think Amir worships him :)

Tengah ejek siapa tergelak ni sambil tutup-tutup mulut. Pleeasee lah!

Amir is friendly too, with other kids but not adults. Especially if he saw big boys who can do most of running around thingy. Mula lah dia nak join but…. ‘mommy, remember to hold my hands okay? I want to start running’
Jadilah mommy the biggest boy ever dalam crowd tu. Many times he approached 5-6 years old boys, just because they wore baju Upin Ipin atau Sponge Bob. ‘Bonge Bob’ katanya. Nak sebut Upin Ipin susah takde huruf ‘b’. Hehehe.

Kemain lagi dia yeeee..

But he still has anxiety to adults. Noone can carry him other than his parents. Well, susah hati jugak sebab his grandparents always wanted to play with him. Once they touched him, he started to shriek. Aiyoo. Mama Tok dah sound ‘Dah setahun Mama Tok mengurat Amir, belum dapat-dapat lagi’

Kemain lagi dia menangis, macam lah kena cubit..

Atok put head on his lap, cubaan melepaskan diri

On the bright side, we know that he is so attached to us.

... especially mommy! Weee..!

2010-2011 Annual Report

2011-11-02T22:27:00.000-07:00

AMIR HIDAYAT SYAH

From 12th September 2010 To 31st October 2011

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This annual report records comprehensive detail of Amir’s activities throughout the previous year. This report is planned to give stakeholders (parent) and other interested people information about his development performance and activities. However this annual report will not discuss about profits and loses precisely throughout previous year, like Amir once broke baba's perfume bottle just few weeks after he bought it or he played with car signal and high beam until the integrated electronic circuit damaged - no radio and no light. But you are priceless anyway, so we don't care!! :) Read this letter if you don't trust me.

It is our hope to determine positive and potential steps with successful decisions to raise a healthy and happy Amir in the coming years.

MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN

A careful man I want to be,
A little fellow follows me;
I do not dare to go astray
For fear he'll go the self-same way.
I cannot once escape his eyes.
Whate'ver he sees me do he tries.
Like ME he says he's going to be--
That little chap who follows me.
I must remember as I go
Through summer suns and winter snows,
I am building for the years to be--
That little chap who follows me

2011-10-30T17:53:00.000-07:00

Hari Sabtu lepas, ada Angkatan Pemuda Futsal (APESAL) Tournament. Ni untuk Alumni Sek Men Sains Kuala Selangor (KUSESS).

Batch Ami merupakan pioneer di KUSESS atau dengan erti kata lain team paling 'tua' pada hari tersebut.

First game, lawan dengan budak-budak SPM 2009. Beza 9 tahun tuuu.... Boleh ke bang?

Jyeah! Ternyata abang senior lebih skilfull, team abg senior menang 3-1

Abang ni hampir2 nak buat hat-trick, apekan daya masa dah tamat.

Sekarang...

8 tahun yang lepas, juga ketika teman Ami main Futsal Tournament

Insya Allah, kalau panjang umur, tahun-tahun lain saya teman lagi ye.

Bukan saya sahaja, budak kecik ni pun akan bagi semangat masa Baba main.. Anyway, satu tips nak mengelakkan tantrum dan diyakini berkesan....

Biar je dia buat apa dia nak buat!

Kotor sikit tak pelah, janji Amir enjoy. Lepas tu sental aje lah dengan Dettol.

Start young!

Tapi Amir dah faham sekarang kalau mommy and baba say 'No', mula-mula dia mengamuk la beberapa ketika lepas tu if we still say 'No', terus cembeng datang dekat mommy. Hehehe. Boy mommy ni :)

Blissful holiday and Amir's temper

2011-10-26T19:33:00.000-07:00

Ah, seronoknya kalau setiap hari Rabu cuti!!!

Kalau cuti, memang wajib tak lekat dengan rumah. Otak ligat berfikir, apa alasan nak bagi pada husband nak ajak jalan-jalan ni.... Hmmmmmm...

TING!!!!

'Jom beli baju tidur Amir dekat Jusco OU, sebab lepas dia renovate tu kita belum pergi visit dia lagi'

Tapi, memang betul pun babysitter Amir kata bawak baju malam lebih sikit, dan dah dipulangkannya baju Amir yang dah kecik2 ;p

So ke One Utama lah kami, sambil jumpa kawan-kawan yang kebetulan secara terancang pun jalan-jalan kat One U. Yang tak berapa blissful ialah, 1/2 jam dari simpang LDP ke traffic light nak U-turn masuk parking, DAN lagi 1/2 jam untuk dapatkan parking.

TIPS: Untuk mendapatkan parking during peak hours di One Utama adalah:

1) Suruh passenger anda cop parking kalau ada 10 buah kereta di hadapan anda

2) Parking dekat One World Hotel. Mudah dan pantas.

Lamanya tak pergi jalan-jalan kat One U. Used to have lunch here almost everyday.

Friends back in Uni.

Okay, cerita pasal Amir sikit.. Ok, mommy tau Amir dah besar. Dah tak nak kene pegang. Nak lepas je, senang nak pergi tempat merbahaya kan? Masalahnya dia tak nak jalan, dia nak merangkak laju-laju. So camana nak lepaskan?

I'm a happy cheeky boy if you let me go on my own, mommy!

Fine. Tapi bila dah selesai urusan kat situ, terpaksa lah carry him nak ke tempat lain pulak.

Here we go....

The moment of whining and crying to screaming, kicking, hitting! Tergeliat tangan mak nak pegang Amir. Actually, itu lah first time Amir throws his tantrums in public. Lama pulak tu. Macam-macam dah cuba untuk distract dia. Berhenti temper untuk beberapa saat then mula balik. To be honest, I pun suspend nak handle dia semalam. Dengan orang sekeliling pandang. Bukan malu, for better or worse, Amir kan anak mommy, tapi pandangan diorang tu membuatkan kita lagi nervous.

Mula-mula, he rejected bf, dok sibuk nak menangis. Lama-lama nak jugak, eleh merajuk la konon.. ;p Lepas bagi 'ubat' baru lah dia okay, tersengih-sengih nengok Acik Intan

Kiss baby!

Tak dapek mommy nak burak-burak mo Acik ko la.. huhu

Malamnya pulak, Uncle Qad belanja makan Pizza Hut. Saja ambil seat hujung sekali so enough space for Amir to crawl. Yes, crawl! Mesti orang tengok pelik lah mak budak ni dibiarnya main atas lantai, tak nak melalui proses masa kat One U tadi.

Hypothesis is accepted : kalau dibiarkan lepas, bagi apa yang dia nak buat. He's one happy kid!

Alah, sayang mommy ni. Bukan mommy mengeluh Amir lasak and temper. Takde masalah kalau Amir lasak, sebab mommy and baba pun lasak jugek ;) Cuma ada masa, badan dah penat, fikiran tengah runsing ke, risau Amir kutip benda2 kotor masuk mulut, takut Amir jatuh kalau Amir main panjat2, sebab tu lah mommy marah. Janganlah marah mommy balik tau, nanti mommy... mommy... mommy.... Uwaaaaaaa!

Despite Amir yang lasak dan sedikit je temper, Amir memang menghiburkan. Sekarang kan Amir suka ejek balik kalau orang bercakap atau buat bunyi apa-apa. Suka ba-cak orang, walaupun masa ba-cak tu Amir kata ba-bak! instead. Kelakar bila mommy dengar ibu kata Amir membuat cubaan menyanyi lagu Sponge Bob Square Pants menggunakan kebolehan Amir bertutur bahasa 'B'. Pantang ada huruf B, senang je nak sebut. Sampai la ni tak pernah dengar Amir panggil mommy. Oh no, please jangan tukar 'm' kepada 'b'. It's okay ;p

Bila ibu buat-buat tanya 'where's mommy?' Muka Amir cembeng sambil cari-cari mommy. Alolo so sweet. Bila mommy suruh panggil 'baba', Amir terjerit-jerit panggil baba. Mommy kata dog, Amir said 'woof woof'. Mommy kata miow, Amir kata cat. Bila tukar perkataan kepada 'mommy', Amir senyap. Pffft.

Bahagian masing-masing lah, ade anak yang dari kecil tak susah nak jaga, tak kuat menangis, tak banyak ragam. Ada yang kata, jangan cakap anak kita kuat menangis, nanti jadi kuat menangis lah dia. Hmm, takkan lah ada ibu yang saja-saja nak cakap sesuatu pasal anak yang tak pernah berlaku. Bila kita bercakap pasal anak, bukan sebab nak merungut atau berlagak, kita cuma express the feeling. Bila cakap pasal anak banyak ragam, bukan mengeluh tapi nak let out sikit rasa penat. Bila cakap pasal kebolehan anak, yg kebanyakkan budak lain pun boleh buat, bukan sebab riak etc, as a mother we're proud enough that our child is prefectly normal, we don't wait for something nobel to be proud of.
Obviously, lain budak lain lah ragam. Jangan disebabkan kita tak pernah encounter anak yang banyak ragam, kita rasa irrelevant bila ada yang kata otherwise.

I always had a chat with Ami pasal Amir, banyak unexpected dalam perihal membesarkan Amir. I was so used to handle kids since little. My youngest brother was born when I was 5. Masa darjah 1, I dah basuh poo-poo toddler and what not. Same goes to my cousin, yang lahir few years after my youngest brother. Masa I darjah 3-4, kalau dia balik kampung automatically I jadi helper ;p But I seriously enjoy doing it.

But, when it comes to own son.. hmmm, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week jaga without extra hands, fuh challenging sangat kan. Having a child is always a headache, but that will make it worth.

Nah, nilai lah sendiri...

2011-10-25T00:15:00.000-07:00

I'll try not to make this entry lengthy

Somewhere in 2010, masa mengandung 7-8 bulan. I ada post 1 entry tidak puas hati dengan layanan seorang doctor di klinik kesihatan di lembah klang. Hehehe saja malas bagi details sangat. Isu tidak puas hati dengan service ni I think it's normal, mana-mana..tak kira kerajaan ke swasta mesti ada isu macam ni. Sebab ni semua bergantung pada individu yang memberi layanan tu kan. Dan, bukanlah satu pekara yang tidak normal bagi seseorang yang ada blog untuk share experience be it good or bad at their blog.

Namun begitu, I still ingat apa I tulis sebab I selalu baca especially bila dah setahun lebih ni pun masih ada orang comment. Lepas I post entry tu tahun lepas, majoriti yang comment share thoughts based on their experience. Again, normal lah orang complaint pasal service ni kan. And ada jugak seorang doktor yang mungkin kawan kepada doctor berkenaan (i initially put the doctor's name, few months back i removed her name), bagi pendapat dia. Honestly I welcome his opinion. He is very professional explaining things that may not clear to the patient's view. I thanked him for dropping his comment. So it makes me feel good sharing my experience, mungkin ada salah faham now you have someone to tell you what went wrong.

Beberapa bulan lepas, ada 1 comment dari anonymous, this person put a link that direct us to a photographer website, then ada lah picture doctor ni tengan posing. Fine lah, I takde ape2 judgement pun. Suka hatilah diorang nak buat ape kan. Since then, I removed nama doctor maybe orang google and found her name in my blog. It could be a mistake to put up her name, I admit. I pun bukan nak memburukkan orang so that's why i removed her name.

Last Sunday, I dapat lagi satu comment dari anonymous berbunyi:

I dont want to say much, I do not know who this people are. But as a patient who goes to a goverment clinic, I think it is obvious that you should know there are more than 400 patients per day. And it is a fact that every single patient should know that we cannot expect explanation of A-Z in a government clinic. I think generally people already know that if they want a thorough time explanation they should go to a private hospital and not expect more.
Mr R

Then I replied to Mr R, sebab I rasa banyak dia salah faham. Kalau dibaca balik entry I tu..
1) I mulakan entry dengan some sort of making disclaimer, yang entry itu bukan untuk complaint govt. clinic as a whole cuma rasa tidak puas hati kepada this particular doctor.
2) Ada jugak mentioned, ada sorang lagi doctor at the same clinic, I puas hati dengan cara dia which is better than doktor yang di sebut-sebut.
3) Dan tidak pulak I tulis dalam entry I need the doctor tu explain every single things, tapi doktor tak cakap sepatah haram pun masa tu.
4) Memang saya bersalin dekat private hospital pun.

But Mr R, keep stating the obvious. And by right, I have no problem with time-consuming process in govt clinic because I already know. Kalau I nak pergi, I pergi. Kalau I tak nak, I won't. Ok lah, lepas reply to Mr R, kira dah selesai lah kan.

Pagi-pagi ni bukak blog, ade someone or two left comments kat chatroom, yang berbunyi..

booohooo: **** you
booohooo: don't mess with people

Ape pulak ni? Sementelah, masih ada yang comment dekat entry tidak puas hati itu, dan seingat saya itu lah entry tidak puas hati yang agak hot stuff, mungkin these people yang tulis macam ni related to that entry kot. Well, memang ini lah dia risk nya bila kita publish. I terima.
Tapi I don't know kalau these people yang tinggalkan comment-comment harsh ni adalah doctor tersebut atau kawan-kawan atau family, siapa lagi yang akan rasa sakit hati untuk kita kan? Agak memalukan lah.

Again, dalam my entry tu tidak I curse the doctor, tapi I ceritakan berapa lama I tunggu, 3.20pm baru dia masuk which patutnya clinic should starts operate 2.45pm on Friday. Bila masa ultrasound, dia takde bercakap apa-apa ambil measurement then pergi camtu je. Ni bukan mintak thorough explanation ye. Ni pasal langsung tidak bercakap apa-apa. Ok sudah sudah lah ye, ni bukan nak prolong. Tapi itulah ceritanya, rasanya memang patut tak puas hati. Honestly, entry tu langsung tidak memaki hamun, but I do agree kalau ade yang kata cynical.

Now, I bukan doktor.. tapi kerja I sendiri banyak liaise with other people. Can I stop them from feel upset or unhappy with me? No. Can I stop them from making joke about me? No. It's totally beyond our control. And kalau ada lah berlaku macam ni, is this how we respond back to them? Curse them?

Anyway, I'm not 100% sure yang tinggalkan comment tu has anything to do with that doctor ke tak. I found her on facebook, so pm her. In case ada apa kemusykilan, confront la, takde masalah dengan itu. Jangan lah membuat onar di blog kan. Kes ni dah lama sangat, I takde berdendam etc. Alah, kelakarnya kalau I berdendam kan. Mungkin jugak 3rd party yang I mistakenly ingat relate dengan this matter. Apa-apa pun, kalau kita tidak suka apa yang ada dalam blog ni, just leave. You takkan boleh control apa orang nak tulis, walaupun hakikatnya mungkin kita sorang aja benci dengan apa yang ditulis. Orang lain, okay je.. ;p

Since ade blog, first time kene ambush ;p I dah removed pun entry tu, her name memang awal-awal dah removed. I tidak sebarkan pulak link studio photoshoot doktor, so I rasa kurang profesional lah untuk bertindak sedemikian.

Senang cerita macam ni, semua orang pun akan ada satu masa dia menjadi annoying kepada seorang yang lain. Seorang yang lain tu, satu masa dia juga annoying kepada orang lain. Kita semua pun pernah jadi annoying kepada sekurang-kurangnya 1 orang yang lain. Bear with it, especially dengan dunia cyber sekarang, fb, twitter, tell me macam mana nak control supaya orang tulis apa yang kita suka sahaja?

Peace. No war.

p/s: Macam mana lah prime minister handle case blog yang mengutuk diorang terang-terangan, memang cool kalau boleh pekak kan telinga, buta kan mata dari ambil tahu apa orang bercakap pasal kita.

Just curious..

Bila Amir masuk je 1 tahun, I noticed few things.. Dia dah banyak faham his surrounding, yg ni I think normal lah kan. Dia dah pandai tunjuk apa dia nak. Ok, senang sikit. Cuma kadang-kadang still tak faham apa dia nak ;p

Tapi, sedikit merisaukan bila dia tak dapat apa dia nak. Contoh, dia nampak playground tapi tak bawak dia pergi atau dah bawak dia main sekejap then a while later we have to leave.. Nanti dia start mengamuk, meraung-raung.. Suaranya kan memang kuat, sambil lembik-lembik kan badan atau keraskan badan meronta-ronta. Adakah normal diorg ni dah start buat mcm ni. Spoke to one of my friend, dia kata anak dia pun mcm tu.

Well, dia mengamuk taklah lama tapi kalau mcm harini banyak kali jugak mengamuk sebab I pun xtau dia nak apa, asyik salah teka.. Very tiring :(

Does this happens to you? What you usually do?

Regards,
Mommy Amir yg dah pancit

Sepatutnya ada 4 birthday parties kitaorg plan untuk attend, 3 parties on Saturday and another 1 party on Sunday.

But, SORRY SANGAT to Noah, Khadra and Cinta Syazabella - we didn't managed to come to your party :(

So kemana kami last weekend...

Sari's Birthday Party and Baby Shower

Tak sangka okay kawan mak ni dah nak beranak dua!

Venue: The Meritz Condo, Ampang

Barr and Amir. Amir sibuk je tunjuk semua orang...

Peel Amir bila sampai tempat baru dan baru bangun dari tidur, berkepit je! Tangan langsung tak nak lepas.

Alololololo... APEDAA! ;p

Barr elok je main..

The view.

Ha... ni dah warm up sikit.. Watch out, girls!

Best ~~buddy~~ daddy.

Birthday girl!

Guests.

Anak Diana Rafar sangat comel, pandai cakap 'oh my god' sambil pegang kepala.

Such a doll.. :)

Sekarang, Amir pantang nampak playground. Dia akan tunjuk2 and suruh bawak pergi sana. Kalau tak bawak, padahnya kena bersilat la dengan dia. Dah pandai show rebellious, tapi kejap je.. kena lah distract dia dengan benda lain.

Aktiviti tak habis di sini, malamnya pulak mommy pergi visit newborn baby kat UMSC. Amir tinggal dengan baba tengok bola. Pukul 12 malam, mommy sampai rumah. So like single ladies :)

Many congratulations to Zaila for the new arrival!!

Owh I am so missing baby's smell! Bila bau Amir.. ceit bau masam, berpeluh-peluh.

Next, on Sunday.. Pagi2 mother in law dah call, ajak breakfast dekat rumah then pergi visit Amir's cousin kat Damansara Specialist, Aysha has admitted due to food poisoning. Kesian Aysha! Tapi Aysha maintain comeeelll..

Bukan main enjoy duduk dekat wheelchair Tok Nek, kalau dok kat stroller takde pulak enjoy macam tu..

Amir, Baba Tok and Amilia..

Juga aktiviti belum habis di sini.. Seterusnya ke Big Bad Wolf book sale. Zamil Syah betul2 going nut ye nampak buku-buku dan bookworm yang lain ;)

Here comes the worm..

Tapi sale ni memang dasyat, yang hard cover pun RM10 je... Berbaloi-baloi.

Sementara tunggu Baba bayar... Mommy and Amir lepak2 dekat luar, dah dekat 2 jam Amir berdukung je, both Amir and Mommy pinggang rasa nak patah.

Ambil cereal dari dalam handbag...

Bagi kat orang yang dok sebelah...

Bila mommy kata xyah bagi... Itu Amir punya..

Dia 'Nah' kat mommy pulak...

No, thanks! I don't eat cereal.

Ok, mom. I eat.

Dah boring buat bising.. termenung.

16 books for RM160.

Yang tebal2 tu Zamil Syah punya, saya yang nipis2 aje.. ;p

Okay, we need more bookshelf!

Begitu sahaja weekend habis. Now I'm suffering from Monday Blues.

Carta ABC Terkini!!

The Weekenders

2011-10-09T21:09:00.000-07:00

Semenjak bulan Syawal, aktiviti semasa weekend adalah non-stop. Berjalan raya, balik kampung sana.. balik kampung sini, pergi holiday, open houses, kenduri etc

Weekend lepas kami bertiga jalan-jalan santai aje.. On Saturday, we went to The Curve. Ami kata, back to 'hometown'. Huhu memang seronok sangat duduk di Damansara dulu.

Amir tengok pianist ni, terus dia imitate.. buat tangan macam tengah main piano. Ye, mommy pun harap Amir ada talent as a musician ;p

Dapat upah sebab behave.

Hari Ahad pulak, jalan-jalan dekat Gardens. Entah kenapa, mommy ada je benda nak cari ;p

Berjalan-jalan je dah rasa seronok, tak perlu membeli hehe

Half day kat sana, then we decided to go back. Just before we exit the main road... 'Jom kita minum teh tarik kat rumah Amai nak?' Tu dia, selamba suruh orang tu buat air teh kitaorg nak datang ;p

Tapi seronok lepak-lepak dengan kawan. Now dah ada anak, nak jumpa kat luar tak berapa convenient maka ke rumah mereka lah kita.. Dapat main macam-macam.

Hah, buat sepah kat rumah orang!

Fun-filled evening!

Fun Activity on Friday!

2011-10-06T20:53:00.000-07:00

Today we had a fun activity in classroom. Since I taught Project Communication Management during lecture last Monday, instead of giving the students a whole set of questions for them to answer, we played Message Relay game. There were 6 groups and each group received the same message to be relayed.

The 1st sender needs to read the message as follows:

We called Bob S. at his residence at 1:39am, but there was no answer. We then tried Bob S. on his mobile phone within the same minute, but got no answer there either. We then paged Bob S. to call us, and waited five minutes for a response. When Bob S. failed to respond, we moved to calling a back-up person (John D.), and we finally reached John on his mobile phone at 1:46am.

So the message has been relayed from one person to another. The last person needs to write down the message on a paper and pass to me. The following are the messages that I read to the whole class:

Group 1:
13:39 call Bobby - he doesn't pick up
-Some minute we call again he doesn't pick up again
-Send him a msg, he doesn't reply
13:46 we reach John's Bobby's friend.

Group 2:
We call Bob on his reseident at 1.39
Bob is not answer
We call his mobile phone
Bob also don't answer
We page bob to call us back
Bob don't reply
We back up the message to Judy
then bob reply us at 1.46

Group 3:
Bob X was called at his resident at 1.39, he didn't pick
And was called again on his mobile and he did not pick
And he was paged and he did not respond
Then we switched to John at 1.49am and he answered his phone.

Group 4:
There was a guy called Bob, he was paged few times to come over. But he did not reply. After few minutes at 1:39pm they page him for the last time, he still didn't reply and come. Later, they page another person called John and he came at 1:46.

Group 5:
Call Borbas home at 1.39, he didn't pick up
call mobile, still didn't pick up
call james, to ask about Borbas, and wait 5 min for James, but did not reply
on 1.46 call Johndy, then he pick up, then we can talk to Borbas

Group 6:
John try to call bob. Bob didn't pick up and also using the mobile phone and didn't pickup. John ask bob friend to call john and he didn't pick up. And John ask another friend to call Bob at 1.40pm and he didn't pick up the phone.

LOL!

FAQ: Berapa lama nak back into shape lepas bersalin?

2011-09-30T20:20:00.000-07:00

Lain orang, mungkin ambil masa lain-lain. Mana yang ada extra cash, boleh la pergi slimming centre. Macam Sazzy, if u follow her kat twitter.. she ada update yang dia pergi gym and what not. Look at her now.. memang dah kurus sangat. Ada yang tak perlu buat apa-apa sangat pun boleh kurangkan berat badan. Ada yang bersungguh-sungguh kurangkan berat badan tapi still tak kurang-kurang. Memang stress. Diakui. Masa 2-3 bulan lepas bersalin, I pun stress tengok badan tak kurus-kurus lagi walaupun memanglah berat badan dah berkurang. Still tak muat baju2 lama, nak kena beli baju/seluar lain pulak. Sangat stress. Takut suami tak suka. Rasa rendah diri. Macam-macam lagi lah.

Di hari-hari terakhir pantang, confirm takkan kurus lagi. Muka pun masih kembang, lengan.. perut.. peha apetah lagi kan. Masa ni stress tengok kawan dah kurus ;p

Masa 3-4 bulan lepas bersalin, pun masih besar lagi.. huhu

Siap pinjam t-shirt Ami, my old t-shirts are too small while shirts during pregnancy are too big. Cuba cakap macam mane tak stress?

Tapi, masa 5 bulan lepas bersalin baru lah rasa hampir kepada saiz before pregnant. Seluar jeans pun dah muat. Jeans yang beli lepas bersalin pulak dah longgar.

To be honest, tummy masih lagi menjadi masalah. Kalau terlupa tarik nafas masa ambil gambar, habislah!

Bulan puasa yang lepas, Alhamdulillah dapat puasa penuh. Dan bulan puasa kali ni, sedikit berbeza berbanding yang lepas sebab dengan adanya Amir. Masa tu pulak crankiness Amir tengah peak, makan sepinggan je masa buka. Dah takde makan ulang-ulang macam dulu-dulu. Kebanyakkan hari memang bangun sahur, tapi ada hari yang sangat-sangat penat terlepas lah sahur. Macam tulah selama sebulan, purata makanan sehari adalah 2 pinggan.

End of Ramadhan, seluar jeans yang 5 tahun lepas longgar. Serius longgar gile. T-shirt XS dulu pun dah muat. Mungkin petanda dah kurus semula atau extra-kurus semula.

Ini bukan cerita tak bersyukur atau apa2, kebanyakkan masa kita mengharapkan yang ideal. Tulah, bukan senang nak jadi perempuan ni, banyak nak kena jaga. Kalau suami buncit, kita tak kisah pun.. ;p Kalau kita pulak yang besar sikit, dah rasa low self-esteem. Nak jaga anak lagi, nak jaga rambut.. badan.. makan-minum from a beauty pageant to a maid. Susah tu. Tapi, Insya allah suami kita terima kita seadanya :)

So, menjawab soalan di atas: Hampir setahun kot baru kurus (especially tummy) itu pun dengan bantuan diet masa bulan Ramadhan.

Tapi menjadi seorang wanita selepas bersalin ni, kuruskan badan bukan satu-satunya masalah - badan kurus, tummy flab, then sagging breast, cellulite and strech mark so on and so forth.

Ada apa-apa tips nak share to get rid of apa jua masalah related to ibu selepas bersalin?

Anak-anak buah ku yang glamour!

Long-awaited Trip ------> S.A.B.A.H!

2011-09-27T22:39:00.000-07:00

Alhamdulillah, akhirnya dapat kami menjejakkan kaki di Sabah. Banyak cerita sebelum kami ke Sabah ni...

1) Beli ticket awal sebab ada promotion. One of my students kat previous college yang bagitau, he's originally from Sabah so homepage kat IE computernya ialah AirAsia. Pantang ada promotion confirm dia tahu. Maka membelilah kami ticket ke Sabah pada bulan January yang lepas untuk terbang pada bulan September.
2) Bulan April pulak, Tune Hotel buat promotion, teruslah book hotel untuk trip kami selama 5 hari, Jumaat > Selasa.
3) 2 bulan selepas mula bekerja di tempat baru, yakni bulan 8.. dapat tahu yang regulation di sini, lecturer tak boleh apply annual leave pada hari yang ada kelas. I was unfortunate sebab jadual untuk semester September, Isnin dan Selasa ADA KELAS! Arghhhhh..
4) Call AirAsia nak tanya pasal nak tukar flight ke tarikh lebih awal (walaupun dah tau confirm tak boleh tapi masih call). Tapi, apa yang saya dapat tahu ialah..... THERE'S NO SUCH BOOKING NUMBER IN THEIR SYSTEM. Maksudnya, takde ape2 pembelian tiket berlaku di sini. Well, kenapa berlaku I pun malas nak figure out, bila check dengan card credit memang tak kene charge then it's okay. But not really Okay, sebab hotel dah book, selain itu kami memang sangat teruja nak pergi Sabah, been talking about the trip since January der.
5) Fikir punya fikir, kami pun membeli lah tiket yang tak berapa nak promotion. Sigh.
6) Di hari keberangkatan, kami sangat confident flight departure pukul 5 lebih. Sangat confident. Pukul 2 ambil Ami dekat LRT before ambil Amir di rumah babysitter. Sementara tunggu Ami, I tengok itinerary. WHAT???? Flight pukul 4??? Pukul 2, kami masih di Cheras. Rupanya flight pukul 5 lebih ialah flight yang tak jadi tu. Hohohoho. Tak pernah se'lousy' ini in planning.
7) Akibatnya, tak jadi suruh adik hantar kan ke airport sebab kami memecut terus. Dan terpaksa parking kat LCCT, sehari RM34 x 3 hari.
8) Nak jadikan cerita lagi, disebabkan nama Amir under nama Ami - maksudnya Ami membawa infant maka tak boleh web / mobile check in. I dah check in and ada boarding pass. Dropkan Ami and Amir dekat enterance departure, so emak pergi mencari parking. 2 KALI pusing noks, parking penuh, jam menunjukkan pukul 3.05. Seram. Akhirnya jumpa parking di Zon C, yang paling jauh dari LCCT sebab lot parking yang kita nampak bukan main dekat dgn airport itu adalah UNTUK STAF SAHAJA. Nice.

Apa-apa pun memang salah diri sendiri sebab tak check betul-betul :(

Tapi... tapi... tapi....

Kami sangat-sangat enjoy dengan trip ke Sabah ni, walaupun jangka waktu dipendekkan.

Muka puas hati akhirnya dapat masuk ke gate perlepasan. Masa tengah parking I dah terfikir sure diorang kata dah lambat sangat and tak bagi masuk.

Ignore muka Amir, apa-apa keadaan pun cam gitu le expression nye.

Dan Alhamdulillah sampai ke KKIA safe and sound.

As mentioned, kami menetap di Tune Hotel, terletak berdekatan dengan 1Borneo. Jauh sedikit dari city KK. Naik cab dari airport ke hotel - RM50. Pernah baca review dari sorang blogger, kata Tune Hotel okay. Well okay je cuma kecik la sangat. Kalau dengan family mungkin tak sesuai. And as we know, Tune ni kita kene add-on; Air-cond for 24 hours - (RM20++ , TV for 24 hours - RM6.90. Kami duduk 3 hari, 2 malam; ambil 24 hours je dah cukup, dia akan kira berapa kita guna. After all, kita bukan duduk kat hotel 24 jam kan.

"Welcome to Tune Hotel" kata duta AirAsia.

Akibat tak cukup kawasan bermain....

Lenyek pisang atas bedsheet.

One good thing about Tune Hotel ni ialah dekat dengan hypermall, 1Borneo (1B). So senang lah nak cari restaurant untuk dine dalam mall tu.

1st Day Activity : Island-hopping

Untuk ke island-island menarik di Sabah ni such as Pulau Gaya, Pulau Sapi, Pulau Manukan, Pulau Mamutik and Pulau Sulug (or as what they called Tunku Abd Rahman Marine Park), one has to take the speedboat from Jesselton point, KK city. Dari Tune ke city ambil masa 30 min, tambang cab - RM25.

Nanti kat sana ada lah kaunter2 jual tiket bot ala-ala kaunter jual tiket bas kat Puduraya dulu-dulu. Dok panggil2 beli tiket kat dia. Rasanya sama je harga.

Naik speedboat ke pulau-pulau ambil masa 10 mins je, per ride to one island is RM7. Kami pergi ke 2 island sahaja, Manukan and Sapi (antara yang famous). And kalau nak sewa life jacket + snorkel = rm14.
Cost --> (RM7*2 island*2 pax)+(RM14*2 set).
Yang kelakarnya, kami tak snorkeling pun..sapa yang nak jaga Amir kan. Patut tak payah sewa life jacket n snorkel tu, masa naik bot memang dah disediakan life jacket.

Mula-mula cuak jugak nak bawak Amir naik speedbot, masa on the way pergi... Dia tidur!

Layan gila lah tu angin tiup2 kat muka, bot pulak terhenjut2...

1st island, kami ke Sapi. Sangat cantik. Pasirnya halus, Amir pun suka makan. Makan? Iye, pantang lepa dia masukkan pasir dalam mulut.

NOTE: Island pertama yang kita akan masuk, kena bayar enterance fee - RM3. Simpan tiket, dan tunjuk masa masuk island yang lain. Tak perlu bayar lagi.

Aktiviti ~~main~~ makan pasir

Tengok tu.. perlahan-lahan je dia seludup pasir masuk mulut.

Tapi dekat Sapi tak banyak sangat aktiviti boleh buat. Kedai makan ada lah 1-2, nampak gaya macam mahal. Kami main-main pasir aje lah sambil tengok orang snorkeling. Lepas tu terus berangkat ke Manukan.

Manukan LAGI BEST dari Sapi! Tak perlu snorkeling, dari atas jeti je dah nampak ikan.

Di enterance Pulau Manukan

NOTE: Tak digalakkan beli barang-barang as in makanan or minuman di kedai souvenir kat enterance ni sebab mahal sikit. Bila kami masuk dalam lagi, ade je kedai kecil yang jual biskut, air dengan harga yang lebih reasonable.

Tadi cakap Manukan best kan, 1) dia ade kedai makan biasa-biasa so murah je.

2) Ade tempat sewa mat, kawasan pun lebih besar so banyak tempat boleh dipilih untuk melepak lama-lama tepi pantai dan tidur.

Serius layan.

3) Lebih banyak facility berbanding Sapi seperti kedai makan, surau, toilet, etc.

4) Surrounding pun lebih menarik sebab ada guest house / chalet dekat dalam pulau tu.

Next time kalau ada rezeki ke Sabah, maybe perlu experience stay dalam island.

Okay, lesson learned dari Sapi Island.. si bapa belikan Amir beach toy untuk main pasir. Harga di kedai souvenir kat enterance tadi adalah RM34, harga di kedai buruk dalam island ialah RM14.

Hampir 2 jam melepak di tepian pantai, tibalah masa untuk pulang. Sob. sob.

Tidur lagi dalam boat.

Well, bercakap pasal kedai makan.. tak banyak yang kami dapat explore. Kebanyakkan masa kami rushing nak makan so makan kat kedai2 biasa je. Berdekatan hotel, ada Restaurant Getaran Jiwa, not so bad.

Retaurant ni opposite UMS.

Okay, keesokkan harinya meneruskan aktiviti beriadah di Kinabalu Park (kaki gunung Kinabalu). The view is so so so AMAZING. SubhanAllah.

Perjalanan dari Tune ke Ranau (lokasi Kinabalu Park) lebih kurang 60-80km, 2 jam. Kalau dari city KK lebih lama kot. Lalu dekat jalan kampung sangat-sangat menyeronokkan. Peaceful.

Before sampai ke Kinabalu Park, ada pekan Nabalu. Ada beberapa kedai souvenir kecil tepi jalan.

Sekilo RM8! Mari! Mari! Mari! Muka masam tapi dia clown!

Perjalanan diteruskan lagi, tapi before sampai ke tempat yang dituju, berhenti lagi sebab ternampak puncak gunung Kinabalu (padahal kat atas nanti confirm lah lagi nampak kan)

So berikut adalah view bukan dari Kinabalu Park. Ini pun dah sangat awesome.

Berat seh u ni...

Jom tengok view dari Kinabalu Park sendiri.. AwetotheSome!

Puas hati Amir dapat lepas...

Mommy and Baba pun ambil kesempatan

So selain dari park di enterance masuk (enterance fee: RM3), boleh naik lagi by driving ke starting point. All the way, nanti ade lah pit stop ada hut boleh duduk2, lepak2 and view Kinabalu peak from different angle. Untuk pengetahuan lanjut, sila rujuk kepada peta yang disediakan di park tersebut.

Bye-bye Kinabalu Park, kami ke Pasar Philipine. But nothing catch our interest here, setakat beli baju I <3 KK.

Malam terakhir di Sabah, kami pergi makan seafood gi Gayang Restaurant as reccomended by a friend. The food is okay, we did enjoy our dinner. Landmark ke sini; heading to Pelabuhan Sepanggar, cari Politeknik atau Kampus Intan Sabah. Kawasan macam pedalaman sikit tapi bila sampai je kat kedai tu, bukan main ramai orang lagi.

High-chair ni memang untuk berdiri kan Amir kan..?

The price is quite reasonable, ikan masak 3 rasa + ketam + butter prawn + sayur campur + 1 jug chinese tea = RM87. In fact quantity makanan adalah lebih dari 2 orang boleh makan. Butter prawn pun kitaorg tak habis.

Itu aje lah aktiviti yang sempat kami explore kat Sabah. Pagi2 Isnin dah kena bertolak balik ke Semenanjung.

Di KKIA. Mengantuk lagi si Amir.

Bye-bye Sabah!

Before gerak balik ke KL, berhenti breakfast di Petronas selepas airport. Agaknya Amir penat sangat sampai macam gini ha gaya nya...

Dari belakang.

Dari hadapan.

Open House and short trip to Genting

2011-09-22T02:26:00.000-07:00

Puas menahan nafsu untuk mengupdate blog dari hari Isnin. Tapi Isnin dan Selasa memang dah diiktiraf sebagai Hari Gila Sedunia. Rabu masih lagi busy akibat daripada dua hari yang gila sebelum itu.

Haa..Khamis ni baru dapat bernafas sikit.

Last weekend, kami ke open house rumah my aunt di Bentong. Seronok jumpa relatives especially cousin.

Kami masa kecil-kecil...

Masa darjah 4 you!

Kami masa muda belia....

Kami maintain muda!

Selain makan-makan, kita nyanyi-nyanyi. Fuh dah 2 tahun mak tak karaoke.. Sebaik pitching maintain 5-octet.

Feeling Diva.

Tengok budak setahun mengada tak nak kat orang..

Tapi kalau dengan abang Hazim... bukan main yer!

Precious evening with family..

Alang-alang dah kat Bentong, teruskan saja pendakian ke Tanah Tinggi Genting..

Priceless moment with my family.

Amir Hidayat Syah, Happy 1st Birthday!

2011-09-11T18:05:00.000-07:00

Mula-mula macam ni....

6 bulan selepas kelahiran..

Setahun kemudian....

Don't grow up too fast :(

362 Hari Bersama Amir

2011-09-09T00:45:00.000-07:00

Lagi 3 hari sebelum tarikh hari jadi Amir yang pertama (English Calendar), 12 September. Sempena birthday Amir yang pertama ni, terimalah award-award yang berikut dari ibumu ini:

1) Cannot-wait Unborn Baby Award
Masa 31 minggu dalam perut, Amir dah sibuk mengetuk pintu untuk keluar. But the highway wasn't ready. Terpaksa mommy tidur di hospital beberapa hari untuk doctor monitor in case deliver pre-mature baby. Tidak cukup dengan itu, gagal di percubaan pertama, Amir kembali mengetuk pintu untuk keluar, dan di hospital lah mommy tidur untuk beberapa hari lagi masa kandungan berusia 34 minggu. Akhirnya, genap 9 bulan, terus Amir menendang-pecah air ketuban tanda 'I can't wait any longer, bring me out!'

2) Selective Baby Award
Memandangkan Amir dah memecahkan air ketuban, terpaksa lah mommy admit di Hosp Kuala Pilah. Pecah pula masa raya ke-2, lupakan lah sahaja niat nak ke UKMSC. Trafik tidak mengizinkan. Orang kata, bila dah pecah air ketuban, gesa sakit bersalin / contraction akan jadi cepat. Satu malam suntuk mommy tunggu, tak datang lagi contraction. Doctor kata pulak, kalau takde contraction, tak boleh nak check dilation etc. Maka, mommy tak tahu la bila boleh Amir keluar. Menyebabkan, keesokkannya Baba memecut laju ke UKMSC bawak mommy. And of course Amir sekali yang masih dalam perut. Ingatkan nak lahir September, 11th. Huh. Di sana juga lah Amir telah selamat dilahirkan, yakni tempat kita checkup tiap-tiap bulan dengan doktor yang setiap kali pergi scan dia akan sindir Amir dengan berkata 'Ini memang takde orang lain dah, memang dia lah tu' Tulah, sapa suruh Amir terkangkang luas sangat.

3) Hair-less Baby Award
Tulah, Amir keluar cepat no. Rambut kurang, bulu kening n bulu mata pun takde lagi! Bila dah besar sikit, barulah nampak halus-halus je rambut yang tumbuh. Sekali masa 1-2 bulan, bahagian tengah rambut pulak gugur! Alamak baru je nak tumbuh..

ha.. kan dah mcm professor kat Oxford

See.. takde kan?

4) High-pitch Cries Baby Award

Bila Amir keluar aje dari tummy mommy, Amir tidur. Senyap. Tak bergerak. I'm scared to death. Dalam masa beberapa minit yang Amir senyap takde respond tu, macam-macam dah mommy fikir. Sampai menangis sebab risaukan Amir. Prof Hashim kata Amir is going to be okay. Tapi mommy tengok nurse still struggle nak 'wake up' kan Amir. Mommy menangis lagi sampai... You took turn, menangis kuat gila sampai satu wad dengar!

5) Jaundice Baby Award
Jaundice adalah normal for a newborn baby especially the first fortnight. By right, jaundice will disappear later by 14 days of life. Tapi, bagi kes si comel Amir, dah sebulan pun masih nampak kuning-kuning lagi. Dan reading jaundice sangat tinggi iaitu 300, siap bila dah turun reading tu.. beberapa hari kemudian naik lagi ke 300. 2 kali admitted hospital.

Ni selepas discharged from hospital kali pertama, hari ke-5. Masih kuning.

Hari ke-14, kena repeat blood test. Masa ni reading consider tinggi, kalau tak silap reading masih 180-200.

6) Colic Baby Award
Sejurus selepas mommy and baba berhenti risau pasal jaundice, blood test result from hospital is positive, Amir takde sakit apa2 kecuali ada G6PD deficiency. Kami discover Amir ada 'penyakit' lain - Colic. Amir menangis sekurang-kurangnya 3 jam sehari, sekurang-kurangnya 3 hari seminggu without fail. Ini bermula since Amir 1 bulan sehinggalah 3 bulan - chronic. Lama-lama, colic Amir disappear. Tapi rasanya masa umur Amir 6 bulan, barulah mommy and baba betul2 boleh menarik nafas lega.

7) The Serious-ness Baby Ever Award
Tak payah lah susah-susah nak describe. Pictures tell thousand words.

Classic!

8) Clingy Baby Award

Well, I said enough in the previous entry.

9) Mommy's Cutest Baby Award

Memandangkan Amir takde adik beradik lain lagi, Amir lah pemenangnya! (At least Amir kalahkan baba)

I heart this picture. Masa ni Amir sebulan lebih. Pipinya gembol. Your eyes are small but your eyeballs are so round and black. Kepala amir is so bulat and quite big hehe. Your skin is so fine. And you always smells good :) Owh, I'm so missing that moment when you were still a baby.

10) Baba's great friend Award

WHEN YOU ARE BOTH SLEEPING!

Amir,

Happy Becoming Birthday. I don't have to say the three words. I know you know.

xoxo

Mommy

Best way to deal with clingy baby?

2011-09-07T21:33:00.000-07:00

I need a miracle answer!

Amir is so much like a clingy baby. He shrieks when I put him down and started to walk away. Flashback; I noticed he started this since 4 months old. Which I assumed, it's just a sign of him noticing common faces surround him. When someone else carry him, he started restless. No cries just restless. The real separation anxiety happened when he was 6 months old. Even though I tell him I’ll see him soon, he thinks, “It’ll be ages before I see my mum again.”

Some pictures, recently taken.. Umur dah dekat setahun pun, I thought this clingy-thingy will outgrows when he becomes older - or maybe 1 year is not old enough - or once he becomes older he is more aware and more mature understanding of the world around him.

Menangis sakan lah, mommy letak dia sorang-sorang. Padahal mommy pergi ambil camera and cepat2 ada depan mata balik nak capture gambar. Siap amek camera lari pecut 100 meter. Kadang-kadang dari dapur mommy menyelinap lari masuk bilik air pun Amir perasan. Dengar bunyi dari tempat lain, pun Amir tau that must be my mommy hiding. So it's a very tough work for Ami to handle him when I was up and about doing something else.

Kalau dengar Amir giggle main dengan Baba while I was in the bathroom, tersengih-sengih sorang-sorang. Tak sampai berapa minit dah dengar dia nangis balik. Sigh.

Some babies are very independent, and don't think much of sitting and cuddling. Most babies like to be cuddled. But Amir is a super cuddly, possessive, demanding personality baby. Susah nak distract dia dengan benda lain if he wants mommy. Sampai mommy sampai la baru dia berhenti menangis. I can't seem to leave without him getting upset. He used to warm up to anyone, but now he clings to me whenever a stranger approaches like nobody business!

But chances are for a case like this, he will be close to you when he is older and a bigger help than some children who are more independent from the start.
~I wish. Atau inilah akibat selalu ejek suami 'Mommy's boy' Huahuahua. Sorry yang!

Thing is, there are times I have to work, bending and twisting, using both arms, but when he is awake ---> these times, a closed door between me and Amir's screams! It preserves my sanity and patience! Then I became a Mommy Monster. And that's not all, I also got criticized for holding my extra needy baby too much :( Very unusual for me to let Amir screams for longer than five minutes. 5 minit pun tak pernah sampai kot. Takkan nak tunggu he becomes hysterical. Sometimes I feel like wanna close the door when I have to, and hold on! Some might called Amir, crying baby - well, he was.. masa baby sangat dulu. When we were somewhere else with others, I have to mingle around, lend hands to do some work - that is a perfect time for Amir to scream. By right, Amir is just a happy baby.

Especially, time like this.....

When mommy laid down, he will slowly crawl and landing. Peace. It can last long.

Different people might have different perception of this situation. Those who came across the exact same situation and those who are not. But who said you did anything wrong? It's the baby that has no understanding the concept of time, when you're saying "Just a minute," you may as well be saying "Just a millennium." So instead of letting Amir cries and screams I would rather sit by his side, and let him explore his surroundings. I'm sure learning to separate from Mom is difficult. It's difficult for an adult too :(

I'm waiting for Amir's 'hatching' process, he will surely realize there's a whole world out there apart from mom. And mom can come back to baba *wink*wink*

I can't wait the time where I canstood up right away, "And it came to pass!"

♫Selamat Hari Raya.. Hari untuk kita bergembira.. La la la la♫♪

2011-09-06T19:40:00.000-07:00

Perjalanan pulang ke kampung beraya tahun ini adalah ---> Kuala Pilah > Muar > Kuala Pilah > Kajang. Lucky enough semua tempat tersebut belah Selatan. Memang masa nak kapel dengan Ami dulu tanya dia orang mana, part of consideration, takut bergaduh nak balik raya bila dah kawen ;p

2 hari before raya, kami pulang ke kampung halaman si isteri di KP. Tempat tumpah darah juga tumpah air ketuban si isteri.

Entah kenapa Amir masa cuti hari raya ni, pantang mak dia lesap dari pandangan, terus dia mengiak (tangisan yang dibuat-buat). Takde air mata. Tapi bunyinya amat bising. Tetap ball tak dilepaskan dari tangan.

Kalau emak ada tercongok depan mata, okay je dia main.

Next day, sehari before raya, kami meneruskan perjalanan ke Muar, tampat tumpah darah suami.

Amir and his great grandmother, Tok Nek.

Aktiviti malam raya; duduk kat tangga sambil tengok kanak-kanak main bunga api, dan dengar orang sebelah sinun main meriam buluh.

♫♪ Hari ini Hari Raya ♫♪

Main songkok, mau. Pakai songkok, tak mau.

Potret pertama keluarga kami di hari raya, taken by self-timer. Blue is the new black, yaw!

Gambar Amir pakai songkok selama beberapa saat.

Me and in laws.

(Bengang betul lense kamera buat hal di pagi raya. Gambar semua blur esp sapa dok kat tengah. Ceit.)

Ang-pow time!

Amir: Hey, Adam that's my ang-pow!

Petang raya pertama, keluar beraya ke Wetex Parade.

Tempat mommy ~~dating~~ outing masa sekolah dulu.

~ 2nd Raya, mama buat kenduri kesyukuran di rumah Tok Nek. Kami pun ambil kesempatan celebrate birthday Amir sekali. Alang-alang semua sedara-mara ada kat situ. It was one day in advance, Amir was born on 3rd Syawal 1431H.

Dah selesai semua event di Muar, kami start packing nak ke Kuala Pilah semula before balik KL.

Ini hasil anak dah umur setahun.. Tolong kemas barang2 yang mommy dah kemas.

Kemuncak kepada rembesan adrenalin semasa mengemas barang!

Seterusnya pulang ke Kota Keriangan mommy, Kuala Pilah.

3rd Syawal, kami adakan majlis di Kuala Pilah pula --> Kenduri arwah bagi yang dah tiada especially my mom and Bang Lang, kenduri kesyukuran sambung belajar, doa selamat my MIL nak buat operation after Raya dan celebrate birthday Amir.

We were so happy to have Bang Lang's family with us :)

My beloved sis in laws; Kak Taty and Kak Ben.

4 orang hero cucu Tok Janggut...

Yang lain-lain...

WHO RUNS THE WORLD? GIRLS!

Sekitar majlis hari jadi Amir yang pertama....

Collect duit raya dari banker.

The company.

Amir and bestfriend, Pak Su. The only family member yang boleh dukung + main dengan Amir tanpa Amir mengiak.

Thanks to ibu and Abang Hazim sudi datang ke majlis kami. Amir sedikit mengada, tak nak kat ibu la kunun...

All and all, that day was so blissful.

The only smiley face we managed to capture. Yang lain cembeng.

Raya kan sebulan, katanya. Next stop, beraya di Kajang pula.

Aysha, the eldest among others.

Amir, the manness.

Amilia, the youngest.

Dah besar sangat la setahun tu, dah keluar dating??

Itulah cerita raya tahun ini. Memang sakan sebab last year tak dapat raya sebulan ;p

Alhamdulillah, raya kami ni semuanya berjalan baik. Tidak ada adegan baling pinggan bergaduh nak balik kampung sapa.

Blissful Weekend

2011-08-22T22:10:00.000-07:00

Last weekend was the 2nd last weekend before Hari Raya (berapa banyak last weekend daaa...). Sementelah, semua benda pun nak kena setel pada weekend yang tersebut.

As mentioned in my previous entry pasal breastfeeding seminar tu, I invited mak buyong to come along hehe.

Wuuu look at her tummy... Ah, missing that moment.

There were 2 speakers on that day;

Pn Salmiah Dato Hj Talib

Member of Malaysia Lactation Advisors & Consultation Association (PPPLM)

and..

Uh-oh I've forgotten his name.. Emm Dr Chan or Dr Chai

Pediatrician from Pantai Hospital

Talk from Pn Salmiah was just fine, I was expecting to hear more information about breastfeeding rather than her own experience attending her customers/patients. But of course it also offers some good tips especially for a first time mother.

But, the session with Dr Chan or Dr Chai was so fruitful. The presentation was well-organized and interesting. He shared a lot of information that helps educate parents to the importance of vaccination.

Kebanyakkan yang datang berperut besar.. ;p

Product consultation by Medela. Check out Mom's Care outlet for breastpump promotion this month!

Sementara, mak Amir attending seminar, baba Amir bawak Amir chill out + jalan-jalan dengan Uncle Fad kat The Gardens tu :)

Selesai urusan di The Gardens kami terus ke Shah Alam.

Previous Ramadhan, berbuka puasa with my both elder brothers dekat KL ni is A MUST. Although we no longer have Banglang around, so kami pergi ke Shah Alam berbuka dengan isteri dan anak-anak arwah. Kami berbuka di Aserie Kitchen, SACC Mall. The food was good! Siap tapau bawak balik ;p

Banglang's blessed family

The whole team

Selesai berbuka puasa, kitaorang teman Kak Ben shopping baju raya untuk her kids. Teman? Sebab kedai tu best sangat habis semua ibubaba final shopping baju anak masing-masing kat situ.

Kidz Branded Outlet ----> RECOMMENDED.

1st Floor, SACC Mall.

Next agenda (ade lagi tu?), melayan budak-budak ni main riders..

Why pink mommy??

Selesai hari Sabtu. Here comes Sunday...

Pagi-pagi dah keluar rumah pergi Carrefour. We gotta buy some household items.

Kereta racing dan spek mata itam bukan household items, maka tak boleh beli.

Kemudian, baba pergi saloon. Aww, kelasss you! Mommy and amir pergi main kat playland... Weeee..

There was a boy, all of sudden datang and main dengan Amir. Yeay, Amir ada kawan! ;p

Dah macam sedara-mara pulak, kemain rapat dia tarik kuda pergi sebelah Amir. Siap alihkan kaki Amir kot-kot terhimpit pulak nanti.

Excited! Menjerit-jerit panggil budak-budak besar yang berlari ke sana ke mari.

Dah puas bermain. Ke Kajang pulak jumpa Mama Tok. She cooked bubur lambuk for Amir. Mamat ni memang suka bebenor dengan bubur lambuk.

Ha ah iye. Bukan main suke lagi tu haaa..

Amir and Amilia

Leka tengok Abang Adam terlompat-lompat.

Last but not least, pergi dzulclassique ambil baju raya. Jyeah!!

Memang belum last pun acara pada hari tersebut, dah ada baju melayu.. sampin and songkok belum ada lagi. Terus ke bazaar depan Metro Kajang.

A week away before Hari Raya.. :)

How to Teach a Baby to Walk? by Amir Hidayat Syah

2011-08-21T20:36:00.000-07:00

Disebabkan emak, ayah dan uncle tak sabar nak tengok Amir jalan sendiri.. Ini lah hasilnya..

Memang ini bukan the best practice ye kawan-kawan ;p
