C#4. C is the limit at the moment. No LV, Gucci, Prada...not yet (but I don't see it is coming in the near future).

Oh how lah did I get involved in handbags at the first place? I can't recall. Rest assured, this spending disorder is manageable and obsession is not an issue.

P/s: Setahun sekali je. Tolong approve pembelian 'tak diiktiraf' ni ye hubby!

LDM

Again. After only closed to 12 months living together under 1 roof.

I have been pampered with all the assistance I could get from a helpful husband ever since. Now is the time to get back on my feet. Reality check, I am fine with the fact that I have to manage the kids and household affair alone. Just, I miss the companionship from the person I loved for 11 years now. Today and onwards, it is just me and Raudhah in our daily ride to KL.

Deep inside, I pray for a unite family, living together in our home sweet home. Amin...

P/s: ...and everywhere I am, there you'll be... ILU ZI!

1 month @ Taska Raniya

05.12.2012

Today marked RAZ's first month with the play school. I am so glad and delighted by the feedback received from the principal just now. Alhamdulillah, the 'jetlag' has fairly improved; no more prolonged-drop-of-drama. The cries stop when the shadow of ibu's car left the school compound. Good, kakak!

Raudhah is not friendly to strangers. It is not easy to gain her trust. She will take her time to settle down. After 1 month, I am so glad that she has started to participate and has been more cooperative in group activities. Hip hip hoorey!

Speech wise, more vocabularies were observed since attending play school. She shown interest to communicate and often sing/pronounce the songs/words she knew especially during our 60km journey to home sweet home.
Lori, bas, motor and kereta are the common objects she encountered with and pronounce everyday. When she saw a mosque, she cited 'Allah Akbar' (Allahuakbar). Her current favourite song is L.O.V.E by High5. ' L O B(V laa) E...I you, you me' hahaha. The actual line was L O V E I love you and you love me! Pretty close huh?

Alhamdulillah. May more good progress follows soon . In shaa Allah...

P/s: 1 month since the first day, in actual she only went to school 14 times including today ;p

Fulfilling weekend

Pheww...what a weekend!

Spent my Saturday in KL, on workshop arrangement for my beloved WKV. Timing belt putus kat Tol Duta last Friday. Gasak. Tak tahulah berapa kos baiki tu. Yang pasti, putus masa husband tengah slow down and free gear at the toll-gate. Hopefully, nothing serious.

Sunday was packed. Fun. The kids woke up late. Ibu had the opportunity to clean up the house. Hoorey! In addition to that, ibu even had the time for gardening. Bliss. Musim hujan, rumput cepat panjang. Semak. Cut things short, 4 highlights of my Sunday:

1. Potong rumput. Tengok je ayah maneuver his anniversary gift; the lawnmower. Oh we planted 2 trees in our mini kebun; mengkudu and mangga chok an nan!

2. Project fish. Our previous pet died, due to faulty pump. Sayang, ikan dah besar. Tapi takda rezeki. Husband decorated the aquarium and filled it with new fish. I kind of like the new look :)

3. Wall sticker. Two reasons why I tolerated stickers at my wall is I know my kids will love them and because baba bought them for his cucu. Looks quite ok, isn't it?

4. Cycling time with RAZ. Fun! The weather was rainy during the evening. But the girl insisted to go out for a ride. I accompanied her for a quick ride. Boleh dia bawa basikal sampai kedai pastu pow ibu aiskrem. Ibu pula berlenggang bawa fon je teman dia. Moral of the story, keep a ringgit or two with you when accompanying a child on his/her bicycle ride. Hehe

Alhamdulillah.

P/s: will encounter with long distance marriage again, soon... My 5-year-plan starts now. I want a family under 1 roof!

PLUSMiles

02.11.2012.

Something not good happened on the day we made the decision on the suitable play school for Raudhah. I was in rush on our back home that evening. To cut story short, I lost my PLUSMiles card; of RM100 balance and RM164 rebate! In total, the lost worth RM264 **

So there goes, me the frequent user of PLUS Highway, PLUSMiles-less for almost a month now.

Until today. Since our beloved Satria stranded at Toll Duta, we took the opportunity to apply for new card. The best part of it, we requested the attendant to block my previous card and transfer the rebate to the new one! At least we managed to recover RM164. I am more than happy. Alhamdulillah :)

P/a: This is life. You gain some, you loss some. Back to the stranded car. That sure poke a bigger hole on my pocket this month :D

IQRAMILK

Sekadar berkongsi dengan kawan-kawan sekalian. Susu untuk anak-anak anda. Kami sudah mula menggunakan produk ini sejak bulan Mei 2012. Alhamdulillah, anakanda Raudhah Amani yang boleh tahan memilih itu suka dengan rasa susu ini dan tidak ada masalah sampingan.

Informasi dalam gambar saya kira cukup padat buat anda membuat penilaian. Saya difahamakan susu ini adalah susu lembu gred A, setanding Enfagrow/Enfalac. Kalau dilihat dari segi harga, memang tak jauh beza. Cuma, saya dan suami tekad beralih ke produk kerana ditambah baik dengan alunan ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran semasa penyediaan, dicampur bersama dengan 7 herba dan buah-buahan terpilih. Harga pasaran Semenanjung RM48.90, Sabah/Sarawak RM55.90. Jujur, saya berkongsi kerana saya percaya produk ini baik dan atas pengalaman serasi dengan anak sendiri.

Jika berminat, email ke nurhafiza.rosly@gmail.com.

P/s: Reaksi susu bergantung pada individu. Email untuk tawaran hebat ;p

Serabut

Back at home. The past 2 weeks have been challenged with health problems. Pheww glad all is falling into place, bit by bit. Tired, really. Too bad I did not have the advantage to get enough rest. I have to make up for the lost man hours; presentation paper worth millions of RM is in my plate at the moment. Weekend pon kerja from home. Stress.

So this weekend, no mopping and house chores done. Semak, serabut. Macam susunan serai dalam gambar tu.

Rasa nak masak. Apa nak buat dengan serai banyak-banyak tu?

Stranger@School

5th November 2012 marked another milestone in our little family. Alhamdulillah, RAZ is now attending play school. Some may say, "Ala, play school je". Not to me. It is a good feeling seeing the young one progresses to the next stage(s) of life. Not to mention, an emotional one! Gosh, ni baru masuk play school. Esok kakak perform speech before the audience ke, won a sport event ke...I wonder how will I react. This ibu is sooooo indulged with her kids. And yes I believe many of us do :)

I had butterflies in my stomach everyday; from the day we made the decision (2th Nov 2012) until now, especially in the morning when we drop her at the school. RAZ was fine during the first day; amazed by the swimming pool outside. She did not realize that I was about to leave her there, with the teachers and new friends on a very very new compound to her conscious. I was told that she cried at last. However, her reaction later that evening surprised me. She looked so happy, all smiling the moment she noticed my arrival at the school compound. "Hi mom!", she said, running towards me and gave me a big hug. *GLAD* So I guess it was a good start. I understand that change needs time, in order to work. Honestly, I did expect some drama but yes, I have to admit that I am affected when I see she cries :'( Nonetheless, ibu has no doubt that you will be ok, kakak...

Today is RAZ's fifth day at school. And today was ayah's first experience sending her to school, after been away for 1 week due to attending short course outside KL. Hehe ayah pon terdiam jap tengok kakak nangis. Don't worry, she is going to be fine. Tak caya tunggu petang nanti. (Sebenarnya ibu akan call dulu tanya situation RAZ kul 9 pagi. Tu pasal tak risau. Haha)

On the bright side, although it has only been 4 days, change has started to chip in. On the way back in the car last week, RAZ hummed/sang ABC song (the letters ke laut, rhyme tetap ada) and counted 1 to 10 (max). Also, shouted "Hip hip, huyeiiii!" (Hip hip horey). Must be from the school. It is strange thinking about how does your brain works. The teacher told me that RAZ do not always get involved in the activities. In this 'jet lag' period, she prefers watching from a far, do what she wants when she feels like it. But still she managed to digest few lessons taught. Alhamdulillah.

And during our short gateway to Paka last weekend, few more vocabs were discovered. Maikey (monkey), shoe, and hat.

I hope that we made the right decision sending RAZ to school. The intention is to get herself occupied with light activities with friends around. Never, to pressure her to perform and compete. What do think about this, fellow moms? Are you with me?

P/s: Please excuse the n*ked Barbie in the picture ;p

Anniversary

Alhamdulillah. It has been 4 wonderful years since the day we tied the knot. It has been an amazing journey too. From a hype-duo, parent of 1 and now parent of 2. Alhamdulillah. Such a fulfilling experience, a journey that I will forever cherish...for both the joy and sorrow.

To my dearest ZI,

I love you more & more each day,
I guess it tells without say,
To the Almighty let us pray,
For an endless love & happiness that won't stray away...
Muah!

$hopping-$aturday

Sabtu lepas, habiskan seharian keluar cari keperluan Raudhah untuk ke sekolah. Terkedu juga tengok list yang Taska Raniya bagi. Hari-hari perlu bekalkan sepasang baju kurung, datang dengan pakaian sukan dan ada juga telekung. Memang nak kena beli jawabnya. Raudhah setahun 1 sahaja baju kurungnya. Itu pun pakai 2 3 kali lepas tu senteng dan ketat. Hehe.

Ayah duty di kem, jadi atok dan nenek teman ibu. Ibu rasa tak seronok if anak-anak tak ikut sama. Urusan membeli buat di Giant Shah Alam, Tesco Bukit Beruntung dan Kedai Kim Wah Bukit Beruntung. Hehe. Yang tiada dalam perancangan, beli kasut di Stadium Malawati Shah Alam. Nasiblah, cari kasut futsal ayah takda saiz. Upah beratur dan bersesak, ibu beli juga kasut sukan Raudhah. Fewit!

P/s: design baju kurung sangat comel! Beli saiz 4, puas hati. Tak ketat, tak longgar :D Semoga kakak seronok di Taska Raniya. Insyaallah...

P/s2: ramai kawan-kawan ibu seronok dengar pasal Raudhah masuk sekolah. Terima kasih. Ramai juga yang rancang nak ikut jejak :) Semoga dipermudahkan urusan playschool hunting anda!

Play school hunting

Another big step

Driven by Raudhah Amani's improved vocabs/speech development, coupled with her interest to play with other kids witnessed at local kidz fun zone, Zul and I believe that she is ready to be exposed to the crowd. She will celebrate her third birthday in 3 months time. I am in denial. Cepatnya kakak besar :)
The hunting began only this week. And yesterday, we have already finalised the play school for dear Raudhah. Insyaallah, will start sending her to the place this Monday *nervous*
The initial plan was to register for next year. However, Zul preferred that we enroll as soon as possible; before he moves to PD. Hopefully Raudhah will adapt well by then, Insyaallah. :)

The hunting-job

I did some survey and site visits, just to have some ideas of what to expect. The following are the underlying criteria that we took into consideration in selecting the best-fit-school for our darling daughter;

1. The ambiance of the school; a factor related to cleanliness, air circulation/natural lighting through the windows, the staff and the kids. 
2. Daily schedule or activities; variety modules to encourage learning.
3. Location and operating hours; along the route taken between home and work. Opens early is an advantage.
4. Annual and monthly fee; not more than RM500 per month.

As usual, I did the ground work; short listing the preferred school, present my findings to zul before making up our mind. So here goes...

A) Taska Dunia Dinamik, Bukit Sentosa

1. Good surrounding, suitable for learning activities. From the art crafts displayed and the pictures of the children, I can tell that it is a happy place. The owner is energetic and has positive attitude. I like.
2. Offers very interesting activities. The school also has good rapport with local authorities. Student ada beg bomba tau! Mak budak pon belum tentu ada. Uses lots of learning material, I am impressed.
3. Located near home. Opens from 6.50am until 6.30pm. (My biggest problem. I leave home for work before 6.30am everyday :( )
4. Less than RM300 per month.

B) Tadika-X (I don't prefer this place and think I don't have to mention the name)

1. Gloomy, gelap, tingkap tutup, aircond throughout the day, siling rendah, no proper setup for 3yo learning activities, rumput serupa lalang, rasa sesak nafas dalam banglo tu. First point je dah out. Secara automatik, fail. Hehe.
2. Cikgu tak convincing...
3. Located in KL, near UTM Semarak and MINDEF.
4. RM300 per month.

C) Brainy Bunch Islamic Montessori

3. Out of my route.
4. RM600 over per month.

D) Taska Raniya

1. Feels like home. Very spacious. Got swimming pool. Happy kids :)
2. Uses Glen Doman method. Very interesting, with physical & gymnastic activities. And swimming class :D
3. Located in KL, near MINDEF.
4. RM500 per month (additional RM60 for sswimming lesson)

Oh it was fun doing the survey and site visits. I set the limit to 4 places, to prevent from being indecisive. Sebenarnya, mana-mana pon sama. The challenge is to find the place that wins your heart. Considering all 4 criteria, Taska Raniya not only caters ibu's heart but tackled ayah's value spelled as p.a.r.t.i.c.u.l.a.r. Boy, you are picky at times, ayah. But for a good purpose, I have to agree :)

I pray for a easy Monday; smooth first day at school for Raudhah Amani. Permudahkanlah urusan kami Ya Allah... Amin.
Doakan Raudhah Amani, ok? :)

Speech progress

A bit delayed, but improving. Raudhah Amani has made attempts to talk of late. I am so happy to hear her cute sentences, most of the time is resemblance of cartoon-scripts! Apparently her vocabs are more towards English rather than Malay. Not that I speak English at home, just that she watched Disney Jr. Channel like nobody's business. I am positive that she will catch up with her mother tongue language soon.

It is funny when facial expressions and body gestures followed her speech. Now, she called me mom instead of bu(ibu). Haha well I used to dream of being a mommy so here is a dream comes true *face-slap*.

We started to discover her speech improvement 2 weeks back; while I attended weekend-office-meetings at Kuantan. I brought the family along for a short gateway. Zul babysit the kids and had the honour to witness Raudhah's surprises (pardon me, I am just happy with my kids' development :) )

"Hi cat!"
"Hey, wait for me!", then chase the cat
"Hey, where did it go?", she asked another cat at the scene

"I love u"
"Are you ok?"
"I happy", which is supposed to be Happy Birthday ;p

Yeah, some of the sentences that I could think of right now.

Alhamdulillah. Tahun depan kita pergi sekolah ye kakak. Mudah-mudahan boleh lagi pandai. Insyaallah...

P/s: kids is a resemblance of pure love, sincere and honest. Alhamdulillah... :)

Favourite spot

Tadaaa (bak kata Umar). My kitchen, after cabinet installation and now with stuffs loaded here and there (sepahhhh).

Oh and the blinds are a bit smaller than the windows. My bad for assuming standard-sized stuffs work wonders. But nahh, we are way to cool to get fuss over it, kan yang? Hehe relaks je :D

This is where I enjoy my 'me' time cooking, while taici-ing the babysitting part to dear husband. But sometimes I failed. I cannot stand hearing Umar cries that I picked him up and start cooking together.

Simple kitchen for a simple person.

Jamu-an

Mee goreng untuk staff di pejabat suami. Pertama kali masak dalam kuantiti banyak. 5 bungkus sekali gus. Seronok. Harap semua kenyang dengan juadah tak seberapa, anjuran suami yang bagi mandat mengejut dalam perjalanan balik dari pejabat semalam. Borak punya borak, kantoi suami kata 'you masak kan sedap..'. Entah ikhlas ke tak tu eh hehe.

P/s: tak pandai masak, tapi sejak ada dapur sendiri jadi boleh-tahan-rajin ke dapur, cuba masak itu ini. Seronok sendiri pon takpa hehe. Kitchen is wife's and mother's favourite spot, true? I love my moderate-kitchen!

Fragile

Yesterday, we brought the kids for their check up with the pediatrician at PCMC. It has been a while since the last visit. This time, I hope only good news suffice.

Alhamdulillah, all is well for dear Raudhah. Just, pediatrician suggested that we stop giving her formula milk as she is way big for a child her age. At 2 years and 7 months, she weighs 17.6kg with 92cm of height. She recommends for low fat milk and insist on giving Raudhah other-than-formula-milk source of food from now on. Even Cerelac is good enough as a substitute! Curious we were, as milk has been Raudhah's main intake everyday. But, we understand her concerns and willing to work on it as pediatrician gave the assurance that Raudhah will not be in hunger, as the body will use the excess fat to supply the energy she needs. Insyaallah, Raudhah will be fine without her shushu.

Other than that, pediatrician was also happy with Raudhah's improvement towards talking. Alhamdulillah, we notice that too. Raudhah was so bubbly the moment we entered the consultation room. And showed her interest to communicate, and once a while pronounce clear words to us. Most of the time, she communicate in English. Must be from the cartoons she watched everyday. Alhamdulillah. We are planning to send her to play school with the hope that she will learn more. Alhamdulillah :)

The worrying part of the day was on Umar's head circumference; big. I hope nothing serious is in relation with the size. Umar has not shown any symptoms thus far. I really hope that all is ok. The nightmares experienced in May are still fresh in my mind, the wound has not healed completely. I still do not have the guts to write about it here. Ya Allah... I pray for a good news for the MRI session this coming Tuesday. Mixed feelings. I do not think I am strong for second procedure. Ya Allah, bantu kami Ya Allah...

P/s: thankful for the nikmat and rezeki...optimis semua akan ok. doakan Umar Faruqi sihat ye?

Happy Birthday Boy

Alhamdulillah.

Last year, I gave birth to a 4.6kg baby boy on 11.10.11. Yesterday, marked his first birthday with one of the most awaited development discovered by us, the parents.

We have been waiting for his first few steps of walking. Alhamdulillah, Umar revealed his ability to walk 2 days before his 1st birthday. Ibu and ayah were so happy. Ibu, almost cried seeing you walking confidently with your big signature-smile on your face. Truly, you are such a sweetie-boy. Don't worry Umar, ibu and ayah are not comparing you with anyone. Take your sweet time and most importantly have fun growing up. Ibu understands that each child is unique. We just excited to discover more of your talents soon!

Alhamdulillah, segala puji bagiNya.
Semoga Umar terus membesar dengan sihat dan ceria. Baik sahsiahnya sebaik nama pilihan ibu dan ayah buatmu, Umar Faruqi. Insyaallah. Doa kami sentiasa bersamamu, anak.

Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah... Besar nikmatMu Ya Allah :')

Mahabbah

Makanan kesihatan pilihan saya. Sudah lebih 2 bulan saya amalkan, alhamdulillah nampak kesan positif.

Kenapa Mahabbah?

Saya dah cuba 2 produk kesihatan sebelum bertemu jodoh dengan Mahabbah; Sun Chlorella dan Monavie. Kedua-duanya saya ambil untuk tujuan menambah tenaga. Sejak punya 2 anak, badan sangat cepat penat. Sungguh. Kadang-kadang stress dibuatnya!

Sun Chlorella memang membantu pada awalnya. Saya tak penat (wow). Dan susu badan bertambah. Saya suka. Saya kembali ceria dan aktif. Tapi, harga sangat mahal. Satu kotak berisi 6 paket tablet, setiap satunya ada 1000biji (kalau tak salah) harganya RM460. So bertahanlah sampai 3 kotak. Lepas 3 bulan, jadual kerja dah mula sibuk maka disiplin pon ke laut.

Kemudian saya kenal Monavie. Beli dari kawan pejabat, rendah daripada harga pasaran. Sedap, suka juga. Semua range saya cuba; Purple, Red, Green (RM80, RM110, RM125). Tahan la dalam 3-4 bulan. Akhirnya ke laut juga.

2 bulan lepas, sejak husband diduga kesihatannya, saya didedahkan dengan makanan-makanan baik anjuran Islam; habbatus sawda', madu dan za'faran. Sejak itu, kami suami isteri cari alternatif (yang sepatutnya jadi sumber premier dalam kehidupan seharian kita) untuk kami dan anak-anak. Nak dijadikan cerita, satu hari bos sedekah kan Mahabbah pada saya di pejabat, "Ini untuk husband u, cubalah". Maka bermulalah ikhtiar kami dengan produk Mahabbah ini; gabungan habbatus sawda' dan madu dengan perisa mangga. Sedap. Bancuh 1 sudu the dengan air suam, sebelum makan, 2 kali sehari. Harga RM40.

Kebaikan habbatus sawda' dan madu dinyatakan dalam Al-Quran dan hadis, iaitu...

Firman Allah dalam Surah Al-Nahl ayat 68-69 yang bermaksud,
"Dari perut lebah itu keluar minuman (madu) yang bermacam-macam warnanya, di dalamnya terdapat penawar yang menyembuhkan bagi manusia"

Sabda Rasullah S.A.W
"Tetaplah kamu dengan al-habbatus sawda' ini kerana padanya ada penawar bagi segala penyakit kecuali as-saam (mati)." Hadis riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim.

Subhanallah. Indahnya Islam.

Untuk anak-anak pula, kami tukarkan susu mereka daripada Enfalac/Enfagrow kepada Iqramilk. Buat masa ini sedang dalam proses menghabiskan stok Enfagrow yang berbaki 3 tin. Selepas ini Insyaallah akan tukar sepenuhnya. Maklumat lanjut tentang Iqramilk di entry akan datang. Tungguuuu :D

Berbalik kepada Mahabbah tadi, antara perubahan yang ketara adalah:

1. Sembelit
Saya punya masalah ini sejak mengandungkan Umar. Tekanan dalam perut tinggi menyebabkan saya senang sembelit. Saya korbankan cinta terhadap makanan pedas ever since (sobs). Masalah ini berlanjutan sehingga 2 bulan lepas. Alhamdulillah sejak mengamalkan pemakanan Mahabbah, sembelit tiada lagi. Dan saya sudah boleh makan cili api 2 3 biji dengan mee kungfu (buat lepas hajat) dan kekal bahagia di bilik kecil.

2. Tenaga
Saya kurang penat. Tuntutan psikologi dan motivasi saya dipenuhi. Makan Mahabbah, otak bagi signal "Saya usaha". Secara tak langsung psikologi saya terkesan secara posiitif, dan bantu bina motivasi harung hari dengan lebih ceria. Saya tidak lagi rasa lenguh-lenguh badan dan berat kaki (ke saya dah kurus?).

Apa pon, semua kebaikan yang diterima adalah dengan izinNya. Kita, perlu usaha. Yang mana satu? Tepuk dada tanya diri.

Sekian perkongsian tentang Mahabbah (kasih sayang).

Kemalangan gadget

Ini masuk kali keempat. 3 kali sebelum ini laptop ibu berjaya ditumpaskan. 1) beberapa keping keypad tanggal 2) semua keypad tanggal, kosong keyboard! 3)keyboard bermandi susu (+_o) Mujur boleh hidup semula selepas beberapa hari jemur.

Terbaru, screen netbook ayah gelap. Tak pasti memang hardware faulty atau angkara tangan-tangan kecil engineer kesayangan ibu. Haish, lain kali usik ibu punya, jangan ayah, ok. Nanti ayah susah nak buat kerja pejabat dan ibu tak dapat surf internet. Tapi elok juga, takda lah ibu sibuk tengok website yang menggoda jiwa dan ringgit-ringgit di poket. Mak pokai.

Kos baiki sekitar RM400 untuk second hand screen dengan warranty 3 bulan. Kalau yang original, ribuan. Quick fix, pinjam VGA cable di rumah atok nenek, sambung pada TV ruangan atas. Tadaa! Ada baiknya juga, kalau tak, tv tu buat kumpul habuk. Maybe it is about time to install second connection to Astro. Unify, cepatlah luaskan rangkaian ke BB. Jimat sikit!

P/s: Dah tau apa birthday present untuk ayah tahun ni. Walaupon sama dengan 2 tahun lepas. Oh anak...

Change makes life colourful.
Change may lead to uncertainties.
Change can be costly.
Change may erase-off the meaning of privacy.

To what extend can one tolerate change in life?

Aqua-therapy

A tiny version of Aquaria here at our home sweet home. This is an upgraded model of our previous aquarium, bought during my confinement; a gift from ayah to dear Raudhah Amani for being a big sister. Husband just could not stand looking at the bigger aquarium, as he wished to buy more fish! And lobster too! So yeah, he bought this 2 months back. And I am glad he did. Because the binti and bin Zulfadhli just love the view of live-fishes they can get everyday!

The pictures were taken last night. Baby komando was to excited that he made attempts to squash the fish(es) in his hand! Hehe well, I can see where is that coming from ;p oh, and I did not took part in the cleaning-job last night. It was an impromtu call by husband. The water was dirty. I wonder why the quality of the tab water is getting poor nowadays. Not interested to politic-related answer. I just want clean water please.

Half-hearted

Memulakan Oktober 2012 di rumah.

Hmm. Tengok laman tu. Rumput baru separuh jalan siap. Separuh lagi ditawan rumput 'alien'. Apa pun, masih senang hati dengan progres ini. Tapi, sempat ke kita siapkan semuanya, yang?

Separuh hati. Posting order datang lagi. Suami dan kawan-kawan di Markas akan pindah ke kem di PD. Pula, tiada kuarters disediakan untuk keluarga. Maknanya, suami akan cari rumah di luar.

Hampir 5 bulan menginap di rumah sendiri. Seronok, tak dapat nak gambar dengan kata-kata. Setelah hampir 3 tahun duduk berjauhan, peluang tinggal bersama sejak Januari lalu memang sangat bermakna buat saya dan suami. Tambah dengan kehadiran 2 orang anak. Subhanallah. Sedangkan suami duty di kem, satu hari tak balik pon terasa sunyi. Inikan pula kalau kembali ke rutin asal; jumpa hujung minggu. Pendek kata, janji ada depan mata semua jadi ok. Bila tiada, mulalah mencari. Serik untuk kembali berjauhan.

Saya nak ikut. Jujur, jauh di sudut hati saya sebak. Sebak nak tinggalkan rumah kesayangan kami; sebak kenang anak-anak di tempat baru nanti, sebak pisahkan atok nenek dengan cucu-cucu kesayangan mereka. Sangat sebak; atok nenek ini mulutnya tidak pernah lekang menyebut nama Raudhah dan Umar :'-( Ya Allah, pasti bama rindu. Baru cerita sedikit pasal pindah, berubah riak wajah mereka... Sorry bama...it is not easy for me either...

Tapi, saya tak sanggup lihat suami harung hari-harinya seorang diri. Pasti perit merindu anak-anak dan isteri. Saya dan anak-anak rindu dia seorang, dia akan rindu kami bertiga. Itu belum masuk hal-hal di pejabat yang kadang kala menduga minda dan emosi. Kalau ada anak-anak di rumah, boleh juga hiburkan hati ayah.

Ini pengorbanan saya. Saya pilih untuk keluar dari zon selamat. Semoga keputusan ni adalah yang terbaik untuk semua. Semoga Allah beri petunjuk dan permudahkan urusan kami. Mudah-mudahan kesudahan yang baik menanti. Insyaallah...

P/s: Alhamdulillah, suami semakin sembuh. Nanti kita survey tempat baru ok? (Hati berhentilah menangis... It is hard when you have to, it is easy when you want to, kan?)

Putih

Bunga lagi? Simply because looking at them makes me happy.

Obviously life has been hectic. Work-life is not balanced. I need a break. But then again, more deadlines are coming. Phewww.

Manage, maintain the composure. Back to the Creator, to the nature and to what matter in my life; my loved ones.

Alhamdulillah.

Kungfu Panda-bu

This panda-eyed-ibu did lots of kungfu-ing during the weekend. Had a packed family-fun-Saturday with the kids and husband; began the day with breakfast at one of the stalls by the roadside, went to visit my BFF and her newborn baby at PCMC and later, to Aquaria. The kids had so much fun :)

Started the day (today) with an aquarium-cleaning lesson by the husband. Hehe I don't think I can remember all but yeah, I will find my way should the fish(es) need 'new-air' later. Then, we took off to Serdang for ayah's treatment. I managed to make a quick visit at Noran and Wafa's crib. RA.UF needed a diaper-change. It is just not safe to handle two kids at the toilet at petrol station, alone. Later, went back to Salak Tinggi for lunch. We only reached home at 5-ish pm. Pheww. Had to send the kids at the grandparents' house to give way to my weekend-routine; the floor job. Haha! At least the floor is clean, and I am a happy mom ;p

My weekend ended with Mee Kungfu from my very own kitchen, for dinner. Invited my parents to come over and join us. Its one of mama's favourite dishes! *proud*

P/s: Hi there, Monday! May all is well at work tomorrow. Insyaallah. Assalamualaikum :)

Ba-wau-nga-bunga

Salam Jumaat.

Pokok bunga terawal singgah di laman. Masa beli, memang sudah lebat berbunga. Kali ni, kali pertama berbunga sejak tuan tanah ambil alih.

Senyum :) Alhamdulillah.

Bunga kita :)

Suami ke Sg Buloh awal pagi tadi; kehabisan stok tanah hitam. Mati pula rumput-rumput dalam polibeg kalau proses penanaman ditunda lagi.

Isteri kirim pokok bunga ros. Lama mengidam. Sebelum ni ragu-ragu; boleh hidup ke ros tu nanti. Perhatian utama mestilah pada empunya punggung kecil saiz XXL dan L. Ke sana sini ibu turutkan :D

Kisahnya suami bawa pulang satu pasu ros berisi 2 pokok; 2 warna. Kuning dan merah. Senyum. Awak macam baca fikiran saya. Itu warna kita. Simbolik sejarah kita; Zul dan Fiza, Musytari dan Zuhal. Aduh, senyum sendiri dibuatnya. 6 bulan lagi usia perkenalan 2 insan dari Selangor ini cukup 12 tahun. Suka duka berkasih, berumah-tangga, beranak-pinak; dari berdua sekarang dah berempat :) Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah.

Cikgu, kami masih bersama. Mungkin disebalik kata-kata pedas cikgu dulu jadi doa yang baik untuk kami. Terima kasih.

Tumbuh dengan sihat dan berseri ya bunga. Untung-untung boleh disemai dan dibiakkan benihnya. Boleh bagi kawan-kawan rumah Zuhal dan Musytari yang lain? Hehe kidding.

P/s: DUKHMILU ZI? Muah!

Pictures To Help You Restore Your Faith In Humanity

A good reflection, to start the day!

 

If you never learn the language of gratitude, you will never be on speaking terms with happiness.     A father and mother kissing their dying little girl goodbye. If you are wondering why all the medic people are bowing: in less than an hour, two small children in the next room are able to live thanks to the little girl's kidney and liver.

 

Trafik

@DUKE-Semarak exit.

Hari ni keluar lambat. Dapat info from parents pagi tadi dalam pukul 5 lebih, ada lori terbalik antara Rawang-Hospital Sg Buloh. Pukul 8, trafik update di Hot.fm sahkan trafik masih sesak.

Keluar rumah pukul 7.30 pagi. Pilih untuk ikut Ulu Yam ke KL. Seronok laluan penuh kehijauan :)

Ok gak keluar lambat macam ni. Boleh juga tengok matahari di BB :)

P/s: hari kedua tanpa FB

Saturday the 8th

Arrived home from PIL's place at 2pm. Inspired to bake as I read through a blog post by a friend last night. My first attempt; bread pudding. Thank you for sharing Yuni! Dapat bagi sikit to RAUF's babysitter. Husband kata sedap. Tapi chef tak lalu nak makan beriya. Pulak? Padahal menu wajib jamah if lunch di hotel.

Cooked spaghetti for the family. Flattered, baba and mama came over on their way back from Melaka. Seronok dapat jamu parents makanan yang kita masak :) simple menu for my family of 4. Kena ada carrot, umpan for RAZ to ate some. If not makan junk food je -_-'

P/s: Happy Birthday to SIL. Semoga cepat dapat baby. Maklong rindu nak pegang newborn lah.

Hard-cooking

Simple dish @ 11pm. Sambal berlada ikan bilis and scrambled egg. At least husband can reheat for his breakfast/lunch tomorrow. And wife can work peacefully, not being shadowed by a foe named guilt.

I find myself managing cooking utensil and ingredients more often these couple of days. Yes, I am trying to make everyone happy.

Had a packed day at work. Alas, did not take proper food since morning (4th Sept). Where has my appetite gone? Despite the absence of food, I did not feel hungry until now.

Reached home late. Left the office at 5pm actually but I was too sleepy to drive. Stopped at RNR Rawang and dozed off for almost an hour. Pathetic eh? Rest area/ lay bay along the highway is my second bed. I rather stop for a quick nap than risking myself on the road. By the time I arrived, it was already dark. The kids were picked up by my parents.

And here I am, babysitting the kids. Shouldn't you be sleeping already, young ones?

P/s: took Habatussauda for almost a month now. Alhamdulillah, I don't feel as tiring as before :)

Satisfaction

Am on emergency leave today. The house has been in a mess for quite a while. My goodness, I almost caught in stress. I think fellow working mothers would get me; how we feel about juggling between managing kids & husband, work, and never-ending-house chores!

So today, I managed to buy some time for simple-brunch, mopping the floor and laundry. Now I can smile again :)

P/s: Missing my young ones. Hope you behave well kids. Ibu loves you both...let's pray for ayah's recovery. Insyaallah.

Wardah Merah

Hati terubat setiap kali pandangan mata singgah di pagar laman. Indah ciptaanMu. Sedikit sebanyak buat hati ini jadi tenang.

Alhamdulillah. Usaha si buahati sudah nampak hasil, walau daunnya enak dijamah serangga. Alhamdulillah. Daripada tanah kering penuh berbatu, hamparan ini kian subur. Menjadi punca kehidupan untuk flora dan fauna, merantai satu lagi circle of life. Besar nikmat sang Pencipta.

Alhamdulillah. Tumbuhmu kegembiraan si dia. Kegembiraan si dia adalah kebagiaanku.

Susah hati

Dugaan...Allah tak uji di luar kemampuan hambaNya. Kita dipilih untuk ujian ini.

Bertahanlah. Sekuat makna nama kita. Sungguh kau Zulfadhli (yang mempunyai kelebihaan/keistimewaan) dan aku cahaya yang memelihara-nya (Nurhafiza). Subhanallah.

Hati, tabahlah demi kesejahteraan semua. Ini bukan masa untuk fikir diri sendiri. Biarlah orang kata apa, komen, kritik segala. Kita yang hadapi, bukan mereka. Kata yang menyakitkan, buang jauh-jauh. Kalau tak tau nak cakap apa, membisu lebih baik. Jangan sampai menganiaya.

Sabar, sabar dan teruslah bersabar. Sedang sabar itu ganjarannya syurga.

Semoga kita saling melengkapi dalam senang, susah, gembira, sedih bersama. Kamu aku sayang. Kamu ada aku. Kita ada Allah.

Subhanallah...

P/s: Semoga Allah beri hidayah buat semua, kesudahan yang baik di hujungnya. Sedih...hati kadang merintih...Namun optimis semua akan ok..Insyaallah
