Her Age is 9 Months Old

This little princess has turned 9 months old yesterday. How time flies very fast right. I still remember the moment I gave birth to her 9 months back then. It was such a wonderful moment I can tell =')

Damia dah nak berjalan. But still perlu dipegang with under supervision la. Kalau dah boleh berlari ni, memang Mommy wajar menjadi athlete kembali. Muahahah. Ini pon puas Mommy cari bawah dining table. Rindu nak ada newborn lagi. Hmm.. Damia nak adik? EH #tetiba

Yes Damia Darling. Mummy + Daddy will always love you for the whole entire of life. Though you always bite my nips while having your breastmilk, but I'm fine. For the sake of your brain development, Mommy is always fine though it hurts me real hard sampaikan Mommy menjerit kesakitan. I know you won't understand why I was screaming out loud on that day. Daddy did. As long as Daddy understands, that would be enough for me +___+ 

Dear Damia Darling,

be good, be nice, be happy and be a cheeky baby as always. Mommy and Daddy will always love you and aaaahhh ayat yang sama which I never feel bored repeating it again and again and again..Muahx

Petang ni nak pergi beli hadiah birthday Damia yang ke-9 bulan. Bonus dah masuk. Yeeppaa!!

a blessed mother, a happy wife,

Ergobaby itu Awesome!

Masa awal-awal zaman berjinak-jinak dengan baby wearing ni, aku memang terkejut tahap A+ la tengok harga baby carrier yang cool. Tapi nama pon cool. Haruslah harga nya pon 'cool' juga. Malah bisa mendatangkan pitam +__+

Dulu sebelum ada anak, selalu dengar orang sebut brand Baby Bjorn je. Itu lah baby carrier yang paling famous di halwa telinga. So ingat murah lah. Usha kat Mothercare, hambeekk.. Takde nya below RM250. Semua above. Terus rasa sedih secara meruntun hiba.

But then, setelah bergaul secara rapi dengan golongan mak-mak ni, some of them menasihatkan agar jangan beli Baby Bjorn. Reason being, kesian kat anak. Kira takut anak tak selesa and all that. Tapi to those Mommy yang guna Baby Bjorn ni, janganlah kecil hati. Lain orang, lain taster dia kan. Aku hanya mendengar dan berkongsi apa yang aku dengar. That's all =)

Being me yang agak particular tentang branded items ni, haruslah aku buat comparison. Alang-alang nak beli barang mahal, tengoklah quality and testimonial bagai kan. Yes. I am particular like that. Sebab nak beli barang baby setakat jenama Anakku tu mampu lagi lah nak invest banyak kali. Ini kalau beli branded item, kau nak invest banyak kali jugak ke?? Idokler ghuper gitu. Teman idokler kaya bebenor... Idokler biar papa asal bergaya. Ekekeke

Setelah melakukan survey here and there, aku diperkenalkan dengan satu jenama baru yang aku tak pernah dengar pon sebelum ni, iaitu Ergobaby Carrier. Sekali tengok, ferlamakkk.. Jatuh cinta babe. Kau ibarat menggendong si anak di dalam bag galas. Style habesss!! =D

Lalu aku usha lah harga. Kot harga dia sejajar dengan harga bag galas di pasaran. Sekali..... Amekawww.. Its even more expensive as compared to the other brands! Menangis secara berirama time tu! T___T

Tapi...... Menjadi seorang ibu baru, the excitement itu konfem ada. Yup. Konfem ada. Setelah tepuk dada, tanya poket, the first baby wearing that I bought was Moby Wrap! Wuhooo. Aku beli kat Fabulous Mom. Harga tak ingat. Yang pasti, harga dia lebih daripada RM100 dan kurang daripada RM150.

Moby Wrap sangat suitable untuk newborn baby. Damia was 4 months old time tu. Look at her. Kelihatan begitu selesa ketiduran. Ate sampai ternganga-nganga haa. Hehe

Kendatipun begitu, hidup perlu ada perubahan bukan? Maka, aku tetap nak Ergobaby. Eh masa tu aku pikir nak Jumpsac jugak. Sebab Jumpsac more cheaper than Ergo walaupon harga Jumpsac pon boleh tahan exceed RM300. Menangis lagi T___T.

Tapi disebabkan harga Ergo memang mahal ya ampun, macam biasa lah. Tepuk dada, tanya poket. Hahaha. So I was aimed to Jumpsac je lah.

Tapi....Setelah Kak @LinGhazale bagitau harga Ergo kat Japan time tu tengah sale ke cane tah. Maka, aku tanpa teragak-agak, teruslah order Ergobaby Sport Carrier. RM310 sajork. In fact, jadi lebih murah daripada Jumpsac. Retail price untuk Ergobaby Sport Carrier tu almost RM500 okehhh. Mau aku tak setuju terus untuk beli. Hahaha

Damia Zahraa, in her Ergobaby Sport Carrier. Aku sangatlah berpuas hati. Plus warna merah dia memang sangat mengancam dan stylo. Maka, terasa sangatlah berbaloi-baloi. Hohoho

Owh! Sebenarnya tak digalakkan letak baby dalam keadaan camni. Tapi time tu tengah lepak makan. So aku pusingkan la Damia. Kasi dia bebas kejap. Damia kan, boleh duduk lama-lama dalam Ergo sebab nanti dia akan tertidur tau. TAPI.... Tak boleh duduk. I mean, Mommy ni ha takleh duduk. Kena jalan je 24/7. Pengsan Mommy Nak oiii..Kalau duduk je, dia akan terjaga lah. Sebab rasa tak selesa kot. Maka, Damia akan mengambil kesempatan terbabit untuk bersuka ria.

Unless kalau dah penat sangat tu, duduk ke, berlari ke, Damia nyenyak semacam je. Tak kira orang kiri kanan dah. Janji tidur kat dada Mommy. EH?!


HOWEVER...... Wah capslock kau. Haha.

However, Ergobaby telah melancarkan new design. Tadaaaaaaaaa...

Melelehhhhh gua cakap sama luuu. Cun gell hooiii. Smart ya ampun!! Tapi harga pon smart jugak. Sobsob. RM689 okay!! Sobsob lagi T___T


Baiklah. Memang our bonus is scheduled to be payout next week. Tapi... Takkan why do I need to spend like almost RM700 for this damn cool Ergobaby Carrier??!! Owh menangis lagi T_______T

Kalau aku usulkan pada WF, konfem dia bangkang siap-siap. Konfem! Sekian terima kasih.


Okay bye. Eh bye dah AJ? Entry sikit punya panjang dah nak bye dah AJ? Haaa laaaa... Aku cuma nak bagitau how stylo the new design is and how sad I am tak boleh nak beli yang tu. Sobsob lagi T___T


Dahlah. Bye. I mean, BYEE!!! *Emo tetiba* HAHAHA DANG!!

Her Munchkin Feeder

Bought a munchkin feeder for Damia as suggested by those mommies in my Twitterland.


What is munckin feeder? Google. Haha tak lawak dowh! Pang!

Okay its actually a safe mesh feeder to jumpstart healthy eating habits. So you can easily give fruit or vegetable to your baby without worrying too much on the probability your baby's getting choke or whatnot.

 

The textured handle is easy to grasp. Colors may vary. I wanted to buy the pink one but unfortunately only the blue one left. MOJ! :p

I simply put a banana into the mesh bag and snap shut. Then, I let Damia enjoys the chewing, sucking and eating the whole fruit goodness and taste, with only the tiniest and digestible pieces coming through. I can assure that she gets great flavor and I get great peace of mind! Hehehe

All in all, I have to admit that I need to add up another 1 more 'Must Have Item' in my handbag. A munchkin feeder, it is. Nama pon new mother. Excited itu lumrah! Hohoho =)

Till then peeps. Xoxo!

she loves everything about her baby,

Mohon Tuhan Panjangkan Umur Mereka

Browsing through some pictures which reminiscing me the good old days on my convocation dayS. So there goes this entry.

Few days before my graduation day back in 2009, I felt so scared what if my parents won't be able to attend my BIG day. Speaking about Qada' and Qadar, everything could happen unpredictably. Hearing about one of my acquaintance friends who had lost her mother a day before her convo day made me feel traumatized T_T

What if. What if. What if.

So the moment both of my lovely parents managed to witness their the-one-and-only-daughter on the stage, being awarded a graduating scroll, Bachelor of Computer Science (Software Engineering) from the University, that would be enough for them (and for me as well). Bukankah itu impian setiap ibu bapa, no?

Having a boyfriend who was willing to apply for one day annual leave just to attend his girlfriend's convocation day pon would be thankful for me. Got an extra ticket from my colleague, for him to enter and witness the unforgettable event in the Dewan Tunku Canselor, UM.


BUT, bear in mind people, Allah works in a very mysterious way!

A year after been graduated as a degree holder, I've been nominated by the company to be one of the UEM scholars back in 2010. UEM is a company that I'm currently working with. UEM stands for United Engineers Malaysia. Not the University of Eh MakanJeTau EhTetiba PangKangAJ!

And a year after that, after going trough all kind of impediments, I've graduated as a master holder in Master of Management. Again, Alhamdulillah.

And again, I felt so scared if my parents won't be able to attend my BIG day. Speaking about Qada' and Qadar.... (sila rujuk perenggan atas untuk ayat penyambungan)

Dejavu much? Yes. Exactly!

But hey! As been mentioned earlier, Allah works in a mysterious way, right! There was not only my Mama who managed to see her daughter, but my daughter also got to witness her Mommy receiving her graduating scroll on the stage. MasyaAllah...


BUT HEYY! Yup. It's a capital letter of B.U.T. H.E.Y.Y.!.

No more extra free ticket. No more a boyfriend seating together in the convocation hall. No more! No more! No more! *Gaya Adlin Aman Ramlie dalam MLM please!*

There's a reason why WF got a chance to get an extra ticket 2 years back then. Because 2 years after that, it's been determined by The Lord, that a day before my graduation day, he had to undergo some minor operations at HUKM Speacialist Centre which led him unabled to witness his legal wife receiving a scroll during her graduation day. It was really... sad :'(

With regards to that, the moment I've gotten my scroll, I rushed like a mad to the hospital together with my parents and baby, just to capture the above moment. Damia knows nothing about this. She was just a 4 months old baby. But I'm pretty sure, once she has grown up, she would understand and gonna appreciate her precious parents. InsyaAllah.

BUT. Being WF, he forced us to go back to PICC just to take a photo on the stage where I've been awarded. Unfortunately, the place was already closed and there's only 1 convocation banner somewhere along the road, outside the PICC hall.

The woman in the picture above is my Mother in law. She stayed at the hospital accompanying my husband during my convocation day. Kalau bukan Isteri yang jaga, haruslah Mak yang take over kan :)

Be it a wife, a girlfriend, a sister or whoever they are:
Kesetiaan seorang perempuan diuji ketika lelaki berada dalam kesusahan. Kesetiaan seorang lelaki diuji ketika mereka berada dalam kesenangan. Ingat sampai mati wahai kaum Adam!

My mothers. Mama and Mak! =)



Praying hard to Allah, semoga dipanjangkan umur aku serta umur mereka yang aku sayangi, agar they are still being able to witness my next achievements in the future. It could be my doctorate convocation perhaps. InsyaAllah.

I have already received 3 PhD placements in the UK. InsyaAllah going into 4 and 5. But on the scholarship part, the sponsors are just opened their application this month. So the result will be announced somewhere in April or May.

On the other notes, doakanlah aku dapat scholarship. Terima kasih semua. Amin....

bersabar dan terus berdoa,

Kami Sebaya

Damia mempunyai seorang sepupu lelaki (on my side) yang bernama Aliy Amriy. Mereka adalah sebaya. Aliy dilahirkan pada bulan Jan 2011 manakala Damia pula bulan June 2011.

Lihatlah mereka. Akrab semacam sampai tidur pon nak sebelah sebelah masa dalam ELF from Bandung to Jakarta hari tu. Sharing is caring wah kau! Tapi haruslah Damia tidur dengan lebih sopan sket. Kalau Damia tidur secara lasak, alamatnya Aliy sila tidur bawah sekarang! Hohoho

Tatkala seorang terjaga, yang seorang lagi terjaga lah jua. Lalu sambung bermain secara berjemaah dalam kesesakan jalan raya lah nampak gayanya.

Namun, when it comes to acara tangkap gambar, Aliy mengambil keputusan untuk bolayan. Biasalah. Kalau dah anak jantan, mana nak join. Hanya kerlingan macho yang dihulurkan dari belakang. Macho tapi masih hisap pacifier. Bajet pacifier itu cigarette kah Aliy? Kuikuikui

Damia Zahraa memang suka buat muka comel bila pandang camera. Macam tau-tau je nak suruh Mommy jadikan koleksi gambar comel beliau sebagai bahan rujukan tatkala Mommy hilang arah di kantor. Wah kantor kau! Permisi ya bukkkk..

Kaki agah. Ya. Damia pandai mengagah. Itu Damia sedang mengagah peek-a-boo dengan Aliy and Alea. Kalau ikut hati Damia, dah panjat melompat ke seat belakang dah tu. Tapi sebab dikawal rapi oleh Mommy tercinta, maka behave lah beliau serta merta.

Apa kau gila nak bagi bayi 8 bulan melompat kijang ke kerusi belakang??!! Memang tak dapek ah jang! Ish.

See. Damia Zahraa memang bijak buat muka comel. Lalu buat hati Mommy gundah gulana mengira detik cepatlah pukul 530 petang atau lebih tepat cepatlah pukul 7 malam (traffic jammed jangan buat-buat lupa) menjelma agar tuntutan bagasi (Read: Damia) di rumah Nanny dapat dilaksanakan secara segera.

Setelah seminggu bercuti, 24/7 mengadap Damia Zahraa, now I'm starting to miss my baby soooo much!! 530 please come faster!

EH. Apa kaitan rindu si Anak dengan tajuk Kami Sebaya terbabit? KAHKAHKAH. Tumpang lalu Aliy Amriy. Jumpa lagi di Beijing. EH EH EH!


sangap nak cium anak,

Gadis Brownies

First of all, gadis kewww??? Hewhewhew

Okeh. I have sorted out all the orders and insyaAllah will be delivering them by today accordingly.

See you soon peeps!

Pavlova Punya Pasal

Semalam, WF pergi usha kereta-kereta lama dengan his cousin. Usha je. Tapi luckily aku tak follow walaupon awalnya aku meronta-ronta nak ikut. Meronta dalam hati je lah. Hehe. Oh kenapa aku cakap lucky tak ikot, sebab WF bagitau tempat tu agak keras. So tak sesuai la if we tag the baby along kan.

Maka sudahnya, I prepared breakfast for my husbter. For him only. Aku tak makan. Takde selera kononnya. Eceh. Sudahnya, sampai ke petang aku kelaparan.

Jam menunjukkan pukul 3 petang. Memandangkan WF lambat lagi balik. I asked his permission to go out with Damia. Then, off we went to Empire Subang Gallery. Only me and Damia. Si Anak yang mengantuk tahap A+, terus terlena sepanjang perjalanan.

Sampai Empire, Damia pon terjaga. Tapi ada rupa tak puas hati like "Awalnya kita sampai Mommy. Tak puas tidur" ha camtu lah lebih kurang.

Owh. Deyna juga sudi lepak sekali. Aku sampai, Deyna pon sampai.

Selama 3jam++ lepak kat Empire, kitorang hanya bermastautin dekat Serai JEEEE. Tak window shopping memana pon. Reason being, aku mengidam pavlova. So kitorang lepak Serai JEEE semata. Epic sangat!! Hahaha

Then WF pon tiba di Serai. His cousin dropped him by. Pastu sambung borak and lepak. Pastu solat asar. Pastu balik.

Maka, hari Ahad aku dihabiskan di Serai JEEE. Pavlova punya pasal. Hahaha. And Owh. Aku order banana fritters jugak. Spaghetti mushroom carbonara jugak. Pastu habiskan spaghetti seafood marinara si Deyna jugak. Ok mentekedarah macam hape je! Hahaha

AJ, kau makan untuk sorang ke dua orang hah? #kthnxbye

Kecik-kecik dah otai. Hehe ;p

perut kenyang suka hati,
