Holla peeps! Selamat Hari Isnin. I had a good and of course quite tiring weekend. Kaki dah start bengkak. Padehal berjalan dlm rumah je. And i'm just about 23 weeks! Cepatkan kaki bengkak?
So my weekend starts early on Friday. Hubs cuti and i just work from home. A friend of mine informed me about BBW happening in Seremban 2.

I never been to BBW in KL and i just planned to find a books for Safiyya. It has been a while i haven't buy anything to read for my little girl.
So we went there after Asar. Pergi masa 1st day is a good decision coz org still x ramai lg. Aku sampai je dah capai 2,3 buku masakan. Haha. At first hubs amek kotak tp sbb dh byk amek buku terus dia pergi amek trolley. Safiyya ok la behave. Kejap2 kang ktrg lpskan dia berjalan sendiri. Smp je bhgn buku kanak-kanak aku main grab je sbb murah. RM5 per book. End up we spent almost RM300 for all the books. hehe. I am so going to make a mini library for Safiyya later. Skrg ni dia byk main. But bila dtg mood dia, dtg kt aku tunjuk "icecream". Pelat dia lah. I impressed. Or tetiba dia buat gaya "head,shoulder,knees and toes'. Tp dia pandai bab head, toes, eyes and nose je lah. Haha. Wpon dia x leh buat ayat lg but ok la byk gak vocab dia. I'm proud of her. :)

On saturday, just stay at home sbb ada org dtg nk tukar tingkap. Ktrg kena tgkkan sbb tingkap bilik aku pn kena. Bersepahnya ya tuhan. Pening tgk. Kejap kang aku kemas. Pastu soh hubs vacum sbb aku x larat nk tunduk. In the meantime, i got to finish 1 book that i just bought from BBW. Laki aku siap amazed. Alah dlm dia byk recipe boleh lah kejap2 skip. Haha. Now tgh try nk habiskan lg 1 buku "bonding with your bump". Lps tu sempat pakai inai. hehe. Ptg tu after asar gerak g Melaka sbb nk amek barang adik yg beli kt SSF last week. Pergi mkn char kuew tiaw lps tu balik rumah cuci baju. Sempat jugak aku buat butterscotch bread pudding. First time buat guna oven. Sedikit crispy la bhgn atas. Maklomlah gayat x pandai guna lg. Takpe at least my bread pudding licin. hehe. Hubs kata sedap!

Mlm tu gak after done with baking,balik Rembau. Smp rumah terus buat castard sauce, kemas bilik sapu sawang and sental toilet. Lps tu la yg kaki start bengkak. huhu.

Sunday pon we just stayed at home. As it's my sister and her son Amsyar's birthday, aku pon buat fettuccine meatball bolognese. Hubs belanja SR cake. Untunglah masing2. hehe. Ptg lipat baju 2 bakul. Basically, my weekend asek makan je and mengemas. hehe.

That's all for this entry. Daa!

Second Pregnancy

This time pregnancy aku tak se-excited mcm yg first. Ya i know my bad. Aku tak plan nk beranak dalam masa terdekat tp dh rezeki cepat. Alhamdulillah. Tp all day sickness aku kali ni lg teruk dari first pregnancy. In fact, until now dh msk 23 weeks pon aku still meloya, lambat makan muntah dan still gak memilih makan. Kalau g office mmg aku pening la nk mkn apa sbb jarang ada goreng2 tengahari. Nk mkn lauk kena yg simple cm sambal ikan bilis kentang,sup sayur or ikan kembung goreng ngn sambal. Gulai,kari, asam pedas mmg aku x lalu. Aku rela goreng telur buat cair2 sket mkn ngn kicap. Time dinner aku prefer kuah mcm kuew tiaw kungfu/kantonis or bihun sup. Air mesti nk fresh orange or apple juice. Ais byk.

Tu bab makan, handling emotion aku mmg failed kali ni. Mmg aku jenis cpt nk marah but this time mmg jgn carik psl. Baru je bergaduh ngn akak aku ni. Both kakak lak tu. Sorg dh ok. Sorg baru carik pasal smlm. Mmg nk kena la sbb jentik aku time aku tgh sakit hati melayan ragam Safiyya. Ngn husband takde mmg lg cpt emo la aku. Eventho aku work from home org tgk aku keje senang tp anak kat rumah aku jaga. Mak aku just tgk2 je. Dia mkn ke mandi ke berak ke semua aku buat. Tu lom lg part dia buat sepah 1 rumah. Org lain duk rumah ni mmg mcm duduk hotel blk kerja mkn tgk tv tido. Nk kemas rumah tu mmg tak la. Aku ni dh la takleh tgk rumah bersepah. X sakit hati bila org ckp ko tu dok rumah buat lah. Pfftttt.

Ok now penyakit sampingan. Takde la penyakit. Tp pregnancy kali ni aku dapat mcm2 sakit. X cukup alahan sepanjang hari, boleh dikatakan hari2 aku sakit kepala. Haritu sakit berdenyut sampai kena refer neurologist. Lps tu hidung tersumbat x psl2. Takde aku selsema ke bersin pon. Bila mlm aku dh ssh nk breathing normally. Dh 2 weeks ni. Haritu aku google rupanya mmg ada simptom ni masa 2nd trimester. Kalau x bernasib baik smp beranak baru elok. :(
Byk la dugaan.

Luckily my job x kacau semua ni. I have an understanding boss and work/time flexibility. Janji kerja jalan. But aku sedar mmg performance aku teruk lah kali ni. Aku x buat anything yg extravaganza pn.
Husband pon alhamdulillah memahami. He always on my side. Kesian dia selalu kena angin panas aku. Safiyya pon tp budak kecik tu mmg tgh mengada. Nk jd kakak ni kan.

Aku masih belum tau gender anak. Kadang-kadang tu ada rasa boy and sometimes girl. Tak kisah la but aku berdoa dapat boy. hehe. Masa Safiyya aku collect semua pic scan. Tp kali ni i don't bother. huhu. Skrg ni kalau aku cakap byk mmg mencungap la. Kawan aku dtg rumah aritu siap tanya aku semput ke. Barang anak 1 apa pon x beli lg. Xtau nk start dari mana. Dh la aku x jumpa mana pumping bag aku. Rasa nk pitam. Tp this time mmg kena beli baby cot sbb aku x leh bayang nnt tido berebut ngn Safiyya. Safiyya skrg selalu tido buai since dh x bf. Tp ada masa dia nk tido ngn aku. So apa pon aku nk ajar baby tido cot. Stroller n car seat ada Safiyya punya leh pakai lg. So jimat la part tu. Just kena topup baju-baju. Tp tu la selagi xtau gender aku mmg takde mood nk beli. huhu.

Ok la tu je ceritanya. Bye!

Home Progress - Kitchen Cabinet

Disclaimer: Ini bukanlah entry nak menunjuk. It's for our/anyone future reference especially Melaka area. :)


Bab ni paling awal ktrg survey dan locked contractor tp lambat siap sebabkan tiles kat dinding je. Design asal dapur rumah kami ni tiles dia just sampai suku dinding camtu. Lps tu tingkap dia jenis besar dan sampai bawah. Mmg problem ktrg gak masa tu fikir mana nk letak fridge. So masa ktrg pegi jumpa contractor ni dia mmg dh ada design utk dapur ktrg sbb ada la customer dia jiran aku. So ktrg pon follow design dia at first cuma tukar part mini bar.

But then design tu mahal lebih dari budget aku. After fikir-fikir-fikir aku rasa design tu dapur tempat nk masak sempit sangat. Dgn cabinet atas kat sinki mcm susah nk bukak nanti so aku pon tukar design. Aku buang gak tall unit sbb tall unit tu mahal dan benda tu buat sempit. Redha la x dapat nk letak oven kt situ instead tukar letak bwh.

Then timbul pulak problem yg design aku nak tu tak cover tiles. Kan design asal tiles suku kan tp aku nk buat ni nmpk la part yg x bertiles. Contractor ni x buat tiles yer. Mmg cabinet semata. Ktrg carik tiles yg sama dekat almost semua kedai kt Melaka tp xde. If ada pon, the color will be not exactly the same. So aku cakap kt Wan next plan mmg pecah je la yg ada tu then tampal baru. Masalah yg tu pulak kena order so amek masa. 2 minggu jugak ktrg nk dapat tiles tu. So if korg taknak susah payah mcm kami cari la contractor yg boleh buat semua. hehe.

So within that time nk menunggu tiles sampai, kena jalankan piping and wiring. Yg tu settle baru masuk tiles. Nasib baik kwn Wan recommend contractor yg buat rumah dia utk pasang tiles baru tu. Cepat dia buat. Dan kami puas hati. Siap je tu ktrg pon call contractor KC kami. Next week tu dia terus la pasang cabinet. Kejap je nk pasang cabinet tu. Yg table top tu kena tunggu sbb kena potong batu dulu kt kilang. Dia ckp 2-3 weeks tp x sampai seminggu pon dh siap table top.

Kami pilih cabinet type aluminium glass and granite table top including counter bar. Konsep hitam putih tp putih dia nampak mcm hijau sket tp ok je kat aku. Overall look mmg aku suka lah. Cuma ada la minor slack. Ada gap between cabinet atas dgn tiles. Dari jauh x nampak pon tp tgk dekat nampk la gap tu. Biasa lah bila yg buat tu asing maka terjadi la hal sebegini. Silap ktrg gak kot x amek ukuran tu betul2. Tp takpela redha. But actually mmg x nampak pon flaws tu.

Nampak tingkap tu. panjang ke bawah. Mmg pening tgk. Kalo sebelah sana tu muat letak fridge kami dh drag table top tu sampai abes. huhu.

View from upstairs

Abg ngn kak ipar aku ada tanya kenapa tak tutup hood, aku ckp konon nk buat ala-ala chimney gitu.haha. Kalau tgk design kat Ikea pon mmg biar gitu je. Pengaruh Ikea byk nih. hehe. Lgpon ceiling dapur kami jenis tinggi. Mmg takkan lah nk buat plaster ceiling ke apa. Kami suka lagi begini nampak dapur lg luas. :)
Bhgn kt sinki tu nampak kosongkan. Design asal kt situ dia letak cabinet tp kt hood xde cabinet. Aku tukar sbb aku ingt nnt nk letak steel rack kt situ. So boleh sangkut periuk ke senduk ke. Bab dapur ni mmg Wan serahkan kat aku. Well actually semua pon dia bg aku decide. Dia just bg pendapat dia ok ke tak bila aku dh pilih. hehe.

Sebenarnya aku berangan nk letak island tp org tu terus kata x muat. Nnt sempit. Fine. Dpt counter bar pon jadi lah. Jgn tanya kenapa xnk extend dapo. Kalau duit berkepok mmg dah lama kami extend sampai habis. But itu nantilah. Kami buat ikot budget yg ada dulu. :)
And now, this is the place where i love most in our home. Setiap kali balik on weekend mula la lap sana sini. Haha.

Steel rack tu patut ke bawah sket tp masa laki aku pasang aku takde so tu yg tinggi semacam. hihi. Byk barang kat rumah kami beli kt SSF/Ikea. Alas counter bar tu pon beli kt SSF.

Aku recommend contractor ni, senang deal dgn dia. Tak sombong pon. Hong Sen Aluminium.
Total cost just for kitchen cabinet exclude all the appliances,tiles,piping and wiring RM11000.

Till then, xoxo!~

Breastfeeding journey with Safiyya

Alhamdulillah niat nk susukan anak smp umur dia cukup 2 tahun tu tercapai. Syukur. Eventho bukanlah secara exclusively tp dapat jugak bg anak susu badan. Start je Safiyya setahun 5 bulan i've stop milk pumping sbb Safiyya dh xnak ebm. Until now ada lg 6 bottles dlm freezer. Nak kena buang dh tu. Expired. Masa tu jugak lah Safiyya dh start mix formula milk waktu siang. Malam fully bf. We gave her susu ilham. Dia serasi dan suka susu tu.

Bila i started to get pregnant again masa tu Safiyya setahun 8 bulan and dpt pulak all day long sickness plus x boleh bau Safiyya, dia mmg kena fully minum fm. Nasib baik dh ajar sebelom tu. So x susah sgt cuma dia still nak direct feed. Masa tu sedih sgt tgk Safiyya. Nk menyusu kat mommy tp mommy x leh nk bg. Time ni pon dh x rasa bengkak susu lg. Bila dia nak sgt tu bg la. Husband dah suruh wean off sbb few docs and our gynae advised to stop. Early pregnancy mcm high risk sket nk gugur if still on bf. Lgpon kesian anak kalo yg jenis fully bf tu mmg dh x dpt cukup nutriens. Tp i refused sbb dh janji nk susukan anak smp dia 2 tahun. Mmg berdoa dipermudahkan. I tried put on a little bit asam jawa tp xde kesan. But amazingly after that Safiyya terus x heran sgt dah nk bf. Sehari sekali pon dia ok bf janji dapat mengopek. Until now cmtu. Kadang2 dia mengamok jugak lah nak mengopek tgh mlm. Bila dah sihat ni mmg bg je la tp suddenly nipple mcm crack. Pedih giler. Lgpon time pregnant ni kan sensitif sket. Sampai kena marah Safiyya sbb x tahan bila dia df. Dan skrg dia faham bila mommy cakap tak boleh,sakit. Nnt dia x mintak dah. Terus mintak susu botol.

Begitulah ceritanya. Skrg ni mmg dh kurang bf. If dia nk sgt bg je la. Hehe. Mmg niat nk susukan dia cukup 2 tahun je xmo lebih sbb kesian adik pulak. Hope i can continue this journey with her adik pulak. Selagi boleh bf kita teruskan. Aaminn.

Things happened

September not yet come to an end but so many things had happened this month. My money plus Safiyya's duit raya has been stolen. I wonder till now how can the thief pulled my handbag from far thru the grilled window. But lucky me he did not take my IC, bank card and car key. Ayah said maybe drug addict. Benda nak jadi. I always keep my handbag in the bedroom but that night i left it in the living room on the sofa. Huhu. Takpelah redha. I might have missed something in life.

In the same week 12th Sept, we did a small kenduri solat jemaah and baca surah al-baqarah at our new home in Melaka. Our nest is actually not 100% complete yet but as we already stay there every weekend i told hubs we must do this kenduri. Rumah baru kan. So we only invite ayah's few friends, my family, cousin, in laws and neighbors. Hubs ordered nasi briyani Pokok Mangga and i made fruit cocktail as dessert. Alhamdulillah it went well. Foods pon cukup and sedap.
Later after that, we celebrate Safiyya's 2nd birthday. Simple celebration with a small cake. I asked hubs to buy a happy birthday balloons. Not in the picture btw. Funny part, Safiyya scared when all of us started to sing a birthday song. Terus nk masuk buai tido. Hahaha.

The next day, hubs planned for a BBQ night as a birthday celebration for yours truly. 3 years married and he finally did something on my birthday and i don't even ask him to do so. It's a quite surprise eventho he planned in front of me. Bhahaha. I'm so grateful that my family and parent in law doing all the preparations. Biasalah pregnant lady bukan larat sgt. I just made a coleslaw because i want too. Puas hati. Mil made a pudding castard and bihun singapore. I am so full that night. After that hubs brings out the cake. It's a BR cake with my fav flavor inside. Awwww!! Thanks so much la hubby! Love you! It's just a small cake as hubs ordered the cake a day before. Never mind. Everyone still got a chance to taste the cake. Hehe.

Last week during public holiday, parent in law came to our house to help us organizing Safiyya's playroom,wedding gift and kitchen cabinets. They even bought us 3 new carpets as a gift. Rezeki. Thank you mak and abah! There are still so many things to do for our new house especially living hall and master bedroom. Safiyya's playroom and guest room almost completed. Just need to buy a wardrobes. We currently sleep in the guest room. Malas nk naik atas during pregnancy ni. Penat naik tangga. We hope can settle everything by next year. Aaminn. Ok la i think that's all for now. Till then, daa!

p/s: please excuse my grammar ya. i'm not a pro! :p
