Goodbye 2008, Welcome 2009

What's in store for me for new year, Mummy?

To reflect on this year's achievement; I can see no other than having my most long awaited baby, Nazif Irfan. I am now complete as a woman. This is a new start for me towards motherhood as well as parenthood.

On career wise, Alhamdulillah it is progressing well. Nothing much to comment on that matter. I am thankful for the monetary gains which allows me to get want I want and need especially for my child's needs.

Looking forward to 2009 here as some wishlist that i plan to achieve:

1. To go on vacation outside Malaysia ( Tabung-0-meter calling)
2. Buy a new bedroom set for Master bedroom which I called katil idamanku..
3. Change new curtains for the whole house
4. Maybe try for Nazif's adik..(har..har..har..)
5. And of course being a better Muslim, wife, mother and friends..

Insya-Allah, may the journey will be blessed all the way from Yang Maha Esa.

The End of the Year

As usual, when it is year end the office has became quiet. Most people were on leave.

I'm on leave for almost a week last week. First, it was Nazif having diarrhea thus Mummy has to take urgent leave to tend him..Pity my son...I dunno how many times he pooped , at first I kinda keep track the number of his poo-poo..but not long. I was exhausted myself for gradually changing his diapers! (On that day, I was on the verge of being fed-up of diaper changing..hahaha..bad mummy!!Until I kinda secretly wishing hubby was there to share the task, he's working anyway). But luckily his condition improved the next day..haa..you can't tell how relieved I am. My b**b also was sort of kemek due to his feeding non-stop..ye lah..nak ganti balik liquid yg keluarkan...

Coming to the office this morning walla..a lot of work la pulok..Next week there'll be a presentation on project closing..so as usual must prepare slides la kan..lucky la got templates and what nots..

Okayla..dah byk work..lagi mengada mau tulis blog..haaa..if directly translated..you know you have of stuff to clear, but still you want to write your blog..

Erk..still haven't write about my achievements this year..how meh..later. And I hope its not too late to wish Selamat Tahun Baru Hijrah to all Muslims..may this year brings a lot of happiness and contentment in your life.

I-dont-know-what-to-post-as-title

Hubby has safely returned from HK last Saturday.

Nazif has develop a nasty rash around his so-called neck..kesian my baby!

I've got myself a new mobile phone..altho not the latest type..but as long as there's camera and its 3G then its okay with me..hehe I'm not really into a gadget thingy, as long as it fits my usage then its good!The last time I've bought a new phone was three years back...and to date, since I first started using handphone I only have..emm.....let me list them..

1. Siemens ( can't recall the model), 1999-2001
2. Nokia Butterfly , 2001-2005
3. Sony Ericsson P910i , 2005-2008
4. Sony Ericsson K800i, now..

see...very frugal one..hehehe..(pat myself on the back)..

Ohh..maybe I should call this post as My list of Phones..nah..too nerdy..

6 Months Young

Nazif and Daddy

My Baby is now 6 months!

How time truly2 flies..I felt that I've just given birth to him, and now , its already half a year passed by.

Nazif has improved so much on his solid eating and Mommy truly enjoyed making food puree for him. So far, I've tried rice + dates, rice + milk , bananas, apple and pear , all blended with love..hehehe..and he's about 7 kilos already..!(that was 2 weeks ago)

He certainly doesn't sit quietly nowadays, always moving around in circle when he's on his tummy, jumping on his feet when you hold him..I mean he really jumps..(very lenguh one..) and laughing hard too! He likes to play with my specs and sucks on my face..this few nights Nazif already started to lift his cute butt and sort of menyusur..in a little time he'll definitely start crawling!

You've definitely the light in mommy and daddy's life and the best anniversary gift so far!

Freezing..

Gosh..its freezing in the office..grrr...!

Hubby has safely departed for HK this morning..he'll be away till Saturday.
So, I drove to work this morning, terketar2 mak ok..its been a long time since I drove and now with this 4cc0rd which is wayyy long and wide..its hard to budget especially when parking..

So last weekend was our 6th wedding anniversary. Hubby and I had our lunch date at the highest restaurant in KL..mana lagi..Seri Angkasa lah..Nazif was sent to the nursery so that his parents can eat in calm and tranquility..hahaha..yes..we gallop all that we can...while enjoying the scenery..altho its not that romantic..haha..got some pictures but too lazy to put up..plus the camera is with hubby.

Six Wonderful Years..

Its been six years since we've been married and nine years that we've known each other..

Happy Anniversary dear hubby!

No words can say how much you mean to me, we've been through a lot, weaving our life's through rain and shine. We are blessed to find each other and that is what I'm thankful for.

Langkawi Island

Let the picture says it all..

At the airport and Cable Car, Langkawi

Pit stop at Tun's the Loaf...

Jalan-jalan around Pantai Cenang and Tanjung Harbour

So, where's our next holiday hubby?? Nazif is such a good boy, so senang bawak berjalan. He sleeps whenever he's sleepy..at one time he even slept during his poopoo time..hehehe..

No Title

Its already December!

We came back from Langkawi last Tuesday... Alhamdulilah the weather was hot and sunny in the island and windy too..A lot to write but emm...very lazy to elaborate. You can guess or imagine the usual activities when one in Langkawi, one of them is shopping!

Pictures are still in the digicam, I still cannot find the time to transfer to PC yet.

Anyway, wishing all of you, Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha! We'll be going back to hubby's hometown in Muar.

I'm Itching...Part Two

I have somehow cured my itchiness..by online shopping!

Olalala..can't wait for the parcels to arrive,hopefully by today.
Both ..did I say both..hehehe..I bought two things for me self..not for the baby.
One is for tax exemption, so of course the parcel going to be from here.
Another one is for my comfy during walking..from here.

Can't wait..can't wait..can't wait...

On another note, we are going to the island of red eagle this coming Sunday.
This will be Nazif's first holiday trip and his first plane ride. You are so lucky Nazif..altho you won't actually understand what is plane yet, but Mommy is excited!

But Mommy has not packed yet!

Mamammmm.

Last night marks another major milestone for Nazif, we tried solids on him!

And he ate for abt 1.5 teaspoon..can lah..hehehe..should have captured him on camera when he first tried the rice plus milk porridge to him..he made such a funny face.

I thought of waiting until he's 6 months, but lately he's been consuming a lot of milk and always excited when he saw us eating. So I guess that's it..Nazif is ready! Mommy is now very motivated to try different baby food.

More baby food recipes on this site.

By the way, has anybody tried using this grinder and baby food feeder (from Munchkin)? Does it really helpful?

5 Months 'Young'

Nazif is now 5 months! And what a way to celebrate it, it was 4-days and 3-nights stays at Pantai Medical Center!

Yup..my baby was admitted for acute bronchitis..pity him..so mommy had to stay with him..and now he's recovering..still got a little bit more of phlegm and coughing. I can still remember his cries during the chest physio session..it was heart-wrenching! I bet those mummies that had gone through this scenario can imagine how it is. But other than that, Nazif is a darling little boy that woos every nurses at the D5 ward (adult ward, children's ward are full) with his charming smile and gelak mengekek..

Okay, as for his 5 months development, Nazif now weigh 6.75 kg! Si boolat yg chubby! He can now roll over back n forth and sometimes move in reverse mode. Every thing that he can grasp on will move to his mouth..He really loves his Messy Dressy book, he can stop crying when mummy starts to read to him..Ahh..he started bouncing and jumping now and then..a sturdy leh this fella got one..What else?

I'll update later..hehehe..

I'm Itching...

To go shopping!

But payday is still yearssss away..not that my account already nil, but one has to save for rainy days, kan.

If online shopping can ah???..I've read somewhere that people would tend to shop unnecessarily if the objects of their affections can be touched and seen..no wonder I kept holding back my online shopping items ..hahaha..because they are untouchable! Only can be seen, thus its not as effective as the real shopping..

I need good books...anyone can recommend me good titles?

Tagged!

This time by Nina, since I'm also in the blogroll plus I needed something to occupy my mind in order to forget something...so here are the

7 Facts about me

1) I love shopping, (who doesn't?), be it window shopping, the real shopping and now its online shopping..but I don't like going shopping when there's sale such as member's sale..I hate the crowd! I used to go to member's sale and ended up not buying anything or buying the non-sale items. Such a waste wasn't it? And now with the online shopping..it is such a breeze!

2) I am such a cry baby or I might say I'm a softie..hehehe.. I can easily cried while watching movies ( I cried watching My Best Friend's Wedding), reading sad book or even reading sad blog entry. I cried when I heard my baby's first cry....in short I cried when I'm sad or trully2 happy!

3) I only have one credit card, and usually I paid in full after each transaction that I made..there's no way for the bank to collect their interest..hahaha..

4) I have undergone three operations so far ; remove lump from left b*** when I was 21, remove cyst when I was 26 and the latest is the c-sect when I delivered Nazif..

5) My idea of de-stress would be lying in bed with a good book.

6) I hate thriller movies and series. I can never watch film like Ju-on, the Eyes and all its relative. And series like Kekasih ku Seru, and what nots. If I happen to switch to channel that's showing these I would be like.."Cepat..tukar channel!!" And sometimes the remote would not cooperate with me!

7) I have another 4kgs to shed to return to my pre-pregnancy weight..its so hard I tell you! Luckily I only gained 11 kg (Lucky huh?) throughout the pregnancy..

Wow..that's it. I managed at last ..thought it would be so hard.

I would like to tag those who haven't done this yet.

MyBroadband 2008

Spend the whole day yesterday at MyBroadband 2008 in KL Convention Center.

After so long not involving in exhibition, it was surely a tiring day. Back in the office today..

'Selagi tak tutup mata..kerja..kerja..kerja...'

By the way, the exhibition is still going on until tomorrow.

Walk walk..eat..eat..Raya

This coming weekend, I have to prepare my stomach for food I tell you..
So far invitations for open house keep pouring in..have to make a schedule for that.

If last year I wouldn't mind putting up some weight, due to being pregnant, but this year some food restriction must be done!...a bit lucky that I'm still breastfeeding but I don't want to further stretch my stomach, mind you!

Talking about food, I should start my research on baby food for my dear son. I plan to start his solid food when he reached six months..( still 1.5 months to go) but it doesn't hurt to plan now right?

4 Months 'Young'

Nazif already turned to 4 Months last week! Mummy's boy is getting bigger! As of today, his weight might already reached 6 kg..has yet to confirmed on this.

My cheeky boy definitely a charming one, I tell you. Pantang diagah, he would give his sweet smile to you. On the crying part, he still maintain his loudness especially when he's hungry. Nazif sometimes has separation anxiety ( is it too early?) when he sees me walked away from him.

Okay let's see his milestones according to BabyCenter,

Mastered Skill -Most kids can do:

Smile, laughs - checked!

Can bear weight on legs - checked!

Coos when you talk to him - checked! I love talking to him..

Emerging Skills -Half of kids can do:

Can grasps a toy - checked! And put into his mouth

Rolls over, from tummy to back - still trying, half way to go

Advance Skills:

Imitates sounds: "baba," "dada" - Nope

Cuts first tooth - Nope

May be ready for solid food- Emm...is salivating considered ready?

Well, after looking at the milestones ,Alhamdulilah Nazif is growing healthily. Mummy and Daddy love you and we really looking forward to call us 'Mummy' and 'Daddy' soon!

Raya 2008 *edited

The first day of Raya

Our raya celebration this year was a blast!

Went back to Seremban on Sunday and still managed to do last minute shopping at Jusco - hubs new sandals, baby's sock, my new blouse..yada..yada..Maksu and family decides to join us in Seremban for raya celebration coz she's just given birth nine days before raya..so it was 'meriah' with children!

Come raya morning, everyone was dressed bootifully including my little boy. Alhamdulilah during the photo session Nazif behave very well and started to get sleepy towards the end. Then we went to my grandma's house in Tampin for visit. Relatives keep coming at Wan's house this year as this is the first year raya without Nek Yang. So being the eldest daughter, Wan's house is main port for her younger siblings and their family.

Second day of raya, we just lazed around the house.

Third day, went back to hubby's hometown in Muar. Starting that night we managed to visit to 3 houses, the next day 4 houses, and the day after another 3 houses..phew..raya sakan!

Well should be enough talking abt raya..already started work on Tuesday. But then, the raya mood is still on the air!

5 days more

Tomorrow will be my last working day before Hari Raya.

As for Hari Raya preparation, it was a bit simpler than last year in terms of raya goodies.
Clothes-wise, is as usual but on top of it is the baju raya for little Nazif! Only shirts and pants will do. Only next year I will pursue baju melayu for him to match with his daddy.

This year will be our most meaningful raya for we get to celebrate it at last with our own child. Its our sixth Hari Raya together and this year we have additional member to celebrate. Alhamdullilah!


So here goes our Hari Raya greetings:


*Please drive carefully to those who 'balik kampung'. We will celebrate hari raya at Seremban until 2nd Syawal and then vamoose to Muar on the 3rd day.

3 Months 'Young'

Nazif turned 3 months yesterday..!

And his 'ring' from the circumcision has fell off yesterday too. In a way you are a 'big' boy now. You can follow daddy to masjid if you want too..hehehe..

Alhamdullilah, praise to Allah for allowing me and dearest hubs to experience all other parents have been through. The entire journey so far has been worth the wait. It tested our patience and perseverance but we overcome it along the way.

Macam-macam Story..

Its already 15th Ramadan..which means we are already halfway through the month..and left with only 1/2 month before Syawal. So far, life has been very very interesting. Everyday is unique when you have this little fella around. Sometimes, me and hubby were blessed if we could break the fast and sahur together but other times we simply take turn to eat. Not that I'm complaining..hehehe..

Tgh gelak with his daddy at hospital lobby

A lot of things have happened within this two weeks. One major event that took place was Nazif's minor operation of inguinal hernia plus circumcision on 8th of September at Pusrawi. We were admitted for one night and Alhamdullilah my baby is recovering. Nazif is one tough little guy..even after the operation he slept well through the night despite being hungry..he vomited a few times after coming out from the operation due to the anesthetics. The one that has been crying is not him, but me!

Kesian anak mummy..

Today, Nazif is back to the nursery after being home with tokmama and tok abah last week. He's been quite 'manja' with mummy this past three days. Always wanted to be soothed with mummy's 'ehem' or mummy's singing..hehehe..(habis semua nursery rhymes zaman dolu2 mummy belasah).

Mummy and Nazif getting ready to go out

The chubby and schmontel boy! Love you!

Happy 51st Merdeka and Welcome Ramadhan Al- Mubarak

A few days more and we'll be celebrating our 51st Merdeka day!
Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! hehehe..feeling patriotic kejap..will be heading back to parent's hometown in Seremban this coming weekend...yeay..

Next week we'll be starting our fasting month.Humm..wonder how its gonna be since this will be our (me and hubby) first time having sahur and berbuka with our little Nazif..we are definitely looking forward to hari raya this year, but let's puasa first..hehehe..hopefully Nazif will be a good boy during sahur and berbuka so mummy and daddy can enjoy our food.

On baby's update, Nazif now is 4.5 kg and actively cooing and all smile when he's full..emm..geram tau kat anak mummy nih!

Mommy's precious

Today marks the 64th day of me being a mommy..so far alhamdullilah. Nazif is not you can call a quiet baby..hehe..he wails to the top of his lungs especially when he's hungry, sleepy, and during changing! He's got a big appetite for not that big body..but mommy don't mind..because i've kinda expected it too..he is 90% better than his mommy based on what his tokmama and tok abah said.

Well flash back to the day Nazif came into our world. I was due for c-sect on the 19th but walla..this little guy wants to come earlier. I started to have contractions on the 16th afternoon, but still in confusion at that time. At last went to PMC after insya and straightly got admitted. Gone through all the check ups..no dilation yet..aiyoo..thus dr said ready for c-sect scheduled in the morning.

Mommy's ready for c-sect

And exactly at 7.31 a.m. my most awaited son has made his debut into this world. I can't help at that time, shed a tear of joy and thanking Allah for this most precious gift.

My 2.75 kg bundle of joy

Nazif Irfan, the botak boy now.

My Baby !

Hi there..

Introducing my little angel Nazif Irfan bin Mohd Nizam

born on 17th June 2008 at Pantai Medical Center.

Petrol oh Petrol!

Now at the price of RM2.70 per liter..this is totally insane!
And now the new tariff for electricity! Everything is hiking up..dunno what to say lah already..

And because of this, me and hubby were among the parties at the petrol station last night. Thinking back its totally funny and unbelievable..everybody shut off their aircond by rolling down the windows, shut down their engine while queuing and there's even promotion on NGV tank..

Alhamdullilah we managed to fill up our 2.0 tank in 1/2 hour..after coming back from Alamanda to do grocery shopping..yeah..we fill also filled up our dry stocks at home --> hubby anticipating that everything will go up after this..yeah I bet they do.

So, what else can you do? I wish can sack the number one man, or somebody else please do!!

We used to get KFC snack plate aren't we? Don't know what's the occasion but I think it was more than once...

That's all I can think about now..any recap girls?

Mak Buyung

Yeah I'm still the mak buyung..already in 35 weeks..hehehe..and feeling so huge..!
Hubby always teases me "Awas..kenderaan berat di laluan kiri shj"..so sabar je lah..
Sometimes I feel like a peguin with the way I walked now!

Went for a pregnancy photoshoot last Monday. I will post up the pic when its ready, if I'm not yet in labor.

Preparation wise, well about 90% completed. Have some of the baby stuffs already sent to Seremban 2. I will be having my confinement at my parents' home there. Hospital bags already packed and ready. Still unbelievable I'm approaching the-D in a few weeks time..

%&*^*(*(*&^%

That will be my title post for today..It reflects exactly what my state-of-mind right now.
BERSERABUT!

I know its not good for my health and the person I'm carrying..but what to do meh...like Spiderman says.."With great power comes great responsibility"...altho the power is not a superhuman power but in terms of job power and decision making...I even make decision and planning during sleep..can you imagine!

Here we are the 'kelas bawahan' team..cracking our heads to meet the timelime and spec..but the management keep saying we did nothing...

Luckily I have this little person inside of me that sometimes remind me to chill off with his kicks and turns..oo yeah..it gonna a be boy! Insya-Allah!

Mama dearest..

Happy birthday Mama,

I wish you all the best, a long life full of happiness and peace!

I hope to follow your footsteps in raising children
With unconditional love, patience and friendship!
