Friday@home

Saya di rumah hari ini. Sakit mata, dapat MC.

Seronok bila di rumah. Lebih seronok jika semuanya terletak di tempat yang sepatutnya. Mustahil. Sebaik komando-komando kecil terjaga maka gamatlah rumah ini. Dan ibu pasti akan terkejar-kejar. Masak, mengemas dan yang paling utama, membelek komando-komando ini. Makan pakai nya nombor satu. Yang lain jatuh hukum sunat. Bila sempat baru buat.

Gambar di atas adalah menu hari ni. Mee goreng cepat dimasak sedap dimakan. Mengenangkan komando kakak bangun pagi mesti nak makan. Terima kasih komando adik bagi ruang pangEnam ibu berkhidmat di dapur. Sesudah makan, ibu dapat hadiah seperti gambar di bahagian bawah. Kurang 1 mug Corelle ibu. Sobssss. Esok raya tak boleh entertain tetamu lebih dari 7orang pada 1 masa. Fine.

P/s: ProtonEdar, cat warna pilihan dah habis ke? Lama tunggu ni :(

P/s2: Bila cuti, babysitter pula datang bertandang jenguk komando dan pangEnam ibu yang jelas kurang terurus. Datang bawa catalog Tupperware. Walaupun ibu boleh dapat special diskaun di pejabat, ibu order juga kenangkan layanan baik mereka pada komando tersayang :) Bajet belanja raya kena revise nampaknya haha

Selamat hujung minggu :)

Handbag...to love and hate

Longchamp Le Pliage.

It took me a while to accept this brand. Had difficulty to digest the price which I thought is a bit expensive for the product range it offers. Too simple for hundreds buck.

But somehow, I drowned along, influenced by the trend that I never imagine to be a part of. Seriously funny. I guess, the woman in me has unleashed (whatever!).

So, here is my 2 cents worth of opinion, based on my short and sweet relationship with LC, Le Pliage to be specific.

The PROs:
1. Weight - Very very very, incredibly light. Especially if you own a long-handled type.
2. Space - Huge, ample room for storage. You know how woman can carry a house in their handbag! I find this very convenient especially in the events of wedding, hospital appointment and of course, shopping! You could just throw everything inside. Including feeding bottle and bunga telur! Haha
3. Material - It is waterproof and easy to clean.
4. Variety - Available in small, medium and large size, short and long handle & lots of colours and patterns to choose from.
5. Fold-able. More rooms for other things in your wardrobe :D

The CONs:
1. Imitation - you can find the imitated LP almost everywhere. Well for a price range of RM12 to RM15 per unit (200% cheaper, at least), who cares whether it is genuine or not? End up, budak sekolah rendah pergi mengaji pon dok kendong LP ;p
2. Pricey. In a way this lead to imitation.
3. Look - Does not represent the price, with or without Eiffel Tower on it. If you are cheapskate or penny-wise like me, you'll go 'WHAT?' over the price tag.

Yeah. That is basically it. My opinion about LP. If you are planning to get one, go ahead. Although it is a bit pricey I did not regret buying at the first place. Atleast I see why people love it.

P/s: Took 42 minutes evening walk from KLCC to MINDEF yesterday in baju kurung and 3/4 inch heel, carrying the breast pump bag and large LP long handle (with lots of stuff inside. Siap ada food container isi 2 ketul ayam goreng) along. Guess what, I barely feel the pressure on my left shoulder. So I now I am a satisfied 'victim' and agree to love LP for its light weight.
Peace.

Pagi-pagi dah cakap pasal handbag. Ni kes mengidam la ni.

Of being acknowledged

A friend tagged this to my FB account just now. Such a compliment, coming from an army officer we (husand and I) knew from secondary school :)

Insyaallaah, with His blessings. I agree, minus the tattoo part. That sure hurts! Hehe

Cherish

26 June 2012
Umar Faruqi & Raudhah Amani

Last night before bed time, I had the best motherly-moment with my kids. Subhanallah, the feeling was so beautiful; seeing them together. Smiling, giggling, playing with each other. My prayers for this moment to remain forever; may this sense of 'belonging' remain in tact. Yes, you are sister and brother. A relationship that would never break. Something that ibu does not really enjoy...sigh

Thank you too, dear husband.

P/s: we miss you Cuya! :) make atok & nenek proud ok.

P/s: In a time of test, family is the best! Went to work with baba & mama yesterday. I feel loved, always. May Allah bless them with peace and happiness. Amin.

Cheeky

:) I smile whenever I lay my eyes on RA.UF, looking at the kids. Subhanallah. Macam mana nakal they were at times pon, I find it difficult to get mad. I will laugh instead. Ibu loves you dear kakak!

RAZ is getting naughtier nowadays. I hope I will be able to remain calm, managing my 28 months old toddler.

P/s: notice how serious my 'zombie-ness' skin is? This is how I look without make up. Yeah, I don't enjoy/had enough rest anymore. Not to mention how crappy I am with routine/ skin care discipline. Need to catch up with my MK products!

Hello make-up.. I will be seriously-needing you from now onwards. I am MAC-ed!

Pindah 1.0

19 Jun.

Pejam celik, cukup sebulan dah kami menetap di sini. Empat beranak, sebumbung, sendiri. Alhamdulillah, perlahan-lahan kami cuba sesuaikan diri; pengalaman baru untuk kami.

Sebulan yang penuh dengan terpekik terlolong, tergelak terbahak, tersengih tersenyum, tergigit tersinggung. Asam garam rumah tangga, hidup berkeluarga. Sebagai ibu yang bekerja, saya tak nafikan sering dilanda rasa penat. Fuh. Balik harung trafik yang sesak, tak sempat sebut pi-sang dah kena lapor diri pada anak-anak sayang. Untung punya suami yang sangat memahami; mahu beri kerjasama uruskan isi rumah. Hal ehwal kain baju dan laman rumah ditanggung beres. Tiada kes gunung-kain di rumah kami. Kerja-kerja dapur, siapa lapang akan uruskan. Biasanya saya cuba selesaikan basuh botol susu anak-anak, susun pinggan mangkuk, sediakan bakul susu untuk dibawa ke bilik tidur secepat mungkin sementara anak-anak ber-happy hour depan tv. Tapi biasalah, kadang ada iklan-iklan seperti anak-anak berebut kuasa/perhatian, sesi tukar lampin dan sebagainya.

Berdasarkan pemerhatian, kekemasan rumah paling lama tahan 3 hari. Rumah macam kapal pecah. Mainan anak-anak di mana-mana. Tak marah, tak nak stress. Bersihkan yang mana mampu. Belajar 'let go'. Come on, kita bukan robot. Saya tidak bercadang untuk ambil pembantu rumah, biarlah saya buat sendiri. Saya yakin, jika diberi masa dan jika ada kesungguhan, pasti boleh!

Berita baik, Raudhah sudah boleh terima hakikat. Sekarang, tidak lagi menangis bila ibu ayah ajak balik dari rumah atok nenek. Raudhah kenal dan tahu ini rumah kami. Alhamdulillah. Dia juga demanding. Selalu ajak naik bilik, nak ber-aircond. Budak pon tahu bahang cuaca sekarang kan?

Antara kerja-kerja yang masih perlu perhatian adalah deko laman. (Oh, deko dalam rumah adalah sangat minimal, hampir tiada. Setakat adakan perabot. Pasu, bunga langsung takda, mesra-anak-kecil. Sayang pula nak tebuk dinding gantung hiasan segala) Projek rumput ayah sudah 40% siap. Progres kurang, kebetulan bulan ni ramai kawan melangsungkan perkahwinan. Insyaallah, akan diusahakan lagi 60% tu.

P/s: baru nak sesuaikan diri, dapat berita tak berapa menarik pula. Tak payah pindah, please?

P/s2: bila nak sampai ni. Dah minggu ketiga, masih tak nampak bayang. Cepat sikit, ok?

Senyuman menawan 2

9.50 pagi, selesai rawatan scaling. Hanya ambil masa 5 minit termasuk consultation. Tunggu giliran punyalah lama. Rawatan yang diterima sepantas kilat. Tapi nak duduk lama-lama pun tak senang, doktor dan pembantunya lelaki. Suami dah pulang ke pejabat untuk hadiri mesyuarat.

Scaling kejap je, doktor kata tak teruk. Doktor sarankan pakai braces. Bab tunggu giliran tu aku lemah sikit. Kalau boleh semua nak cepat. Soalnya, kos. Yang cepat banyak, kosnya setimpal juga. Wah wah. Ekonomi tahun ni ketat sikit. Masa 'recovery' sedang berlangsung. Kembali menabung setelah semua diratah buat belanja masuk rumah. Wajarkah belanja ribuan ringgit lagi untuk rawatan kosmetik pergigian? Sila muhasabah diri.

Senyuman menawan

Gigi yang teratur antara faktor penyeri senyuman kita, betul? Suka dan kagum dengan golongan yang punya gigi yang cantik. Makin naik seri gigi itu bila disunting dengan senyuman yang ikhlas.

Setiap kali hamil (setakat ini baru 2 kali, ayat macam dah banyak kali sangat kan :p), ada fasa yang aku rasa gigi jadi sakit. Ya, mungkin faktor sumber kalsium yang kurang, untuk dikongsi 2 beranak. Tapi sakit ini seolah-olah ada pergerakan saf gigi berlaku biasanya pada waktu malam. Sudahnya, bila bangun pagi, rasa ngilu dan sakit seperti ada tekanan. Keadaan ini tidak kekal, hanya 2 3 kali sepanjang tempoh kehamilan.

Semalam, sambil belek gambar di telefon bimbit, aku terkedu sekejap. Hmm gigi yang sedia terjungkit ni nampaknya makin menjadi. Terus BBM suami, nyatakan hasrat nak pakai braces. Ok ke? Belum sempat pon nak cari info lanjut, suami dah semak prosedur rawatan di Pusat Gigi Angkatan Tentera (PGAT). Proaktif.

Saat ini, kami masih menunggu giliran. Sedia menunggu dari jam 7.15 pagi tadi. Apa agaknya nasihat doktor nanti. Tempoh menunggu untuk giliran rawatan ortodontik lama, 2 hingga 3 tahun. Kalau boleh, mahu bebas-braces semasa mengandung anak seterusnya. Boleh ke dapat giliran cepat? Hehe kalau tak dapat kita ke klinik swasta gamaknya. Apa-apa pun, hari ni kita cek keadaan gigi dan recommendation doktor dulu.

P/s: kali terakhir ke dentist tahun 2007, surgeri cabut geraham bongsu.

Alhamdulillah. Officially turn 28 years old today. Feel great for the opportunity to clean up the house as a start.

Groupon Deal - Photobook

First attempt, hopefully the photobook will turn up great. Dearest RAZ does not own any physical photo album can you believe me? Oh I did print some pictures of her; until 2 months old. I felt guilty. And insist of doing something about it before adik arrived. Thanks to a friend, I managed to find my way to the photobook-deal last year. Great deal indeed, for an almost 70% discounted price who could say NO? Not me :D

We had ample time to place the order. The 'groupon' valid for months. Guess what, my friend and I only placed our order today, at the very last day! Pheww, lucky we made it! I struggled to re-do the design due to server limitation at the workplace. Had to play tricks to get the design done pronto! Hehe ;p

Please turn out beautiful, pretty pleaseeee :)

P/s: Eena, kalau ada lagi deal yang sama roger k. Buat for Umar pulak :D
Second good-feeling-of-the-day, after discovering UFZ's progress early in the morning. Boboi boy can now crawl! Alhamdulillah :)
