Here's to friendship!

salam..First and foremost,I'm soo grateful to Allah for giving us a group of friends that we considered as family..Living 2-5 hours away from our family,our friends are the closest to us other than siblings and relatives that may stay a few minutes away from where we lived.
Ai'syah simple birthday dinner was a success,though my sister and her family can't make it cause it was on weekdays..I believed Ai'syah was a very happy girl that day..She was smiling,dancing,and being playful to everybody that night(indicated how happy she was).Not to mention how happy she was to see Dibo on her cake!And how she devoured the cake like its nobody business,special thanks to her thoughtful Baba.:)
Though my husband didn't like the idea of celebrating Ai'syah's birthday,I managed to make him be part of it,plus he can't really see NO to Ai'syah...She's like his kryptonite..LOL..Just a simple dinner with bunch of closed friends,hanging out,cutting cake and that's it..Ai'syah had a great time,Ummi and Baba too had a great time..
Special thanks to my dearest Syamimi Turiman,who came all the way just to help me with the decoration,you're an angel!And to my favourite cake boss ;I think I'll be your loyal customer...All of us love the cake!

baby baru,baby lame...

Alhamdulillah...adik ipar saya selamat melahirkan seorang baby girl yang sungguh comel dan sihat 22hb yang lalu..Tengok adik sakit di labour room mengingatkan saya detik2 melahirkan Nur Ai'syah...Perasaan yang tak akan boleh digambarkan dengan perkataan..slalu klu orang tanya saya,ape rase?saya akan cakap; "You'll have to experienced it to know how it felt".apepun,baby chomel namenye Adreanna Aryssa.maksud;ummi lupe..sorry dek..kuat nenen,pipi die best,molat,rambut lebat,gaye2 mcm nak curly...aaah..bestnye bau baby!(sabor2..)
Baby lame plak namenye Nur Ai'syah..48 jam lagi genap 1 tahun..tak boleh tengok Ummi pegang baby kejap mulelah die..Dengan nenek pun mule2 mcm tuh..al-maklum cucu sulong Puan Nuraini..hari kedue Ai'syah ok dah..pandai anak Ummi..tapi kene tengok2 jugak sebab Ai'syah geram ngan baby..Die ingat doll kot..hehe..Baby lame Ummi..dah besar...dah nak masuk setahun..huhu..nak nanges boley???cepatnyer besor...sedeyler pulok...
Ummi dah tempah cake,aunty mimi dah buat decoration,esok nak ajak baba beli bahan2 mentah nak masak.walaupun baba kate nanti Ai'syah tak ingat pun...ummi tau,satu hari nanti,Ai'syah bace blog ni,tengok gambar pastu Ai'syah cakap,terime kasih ummi...:)

flu,10 bln,night-stops...

Salam,agak lame tak update.Saya diserang flu yang kemudian berjangkit kepada ramai orang,termasuk adik ipar yang tengah sarat mengandung(sorry dik!).Alhamdulillah,semua nampaknya sudah beransur pulih.Nur Ai'syah saja yang masih berair hidungnya,minggu ini die sungguh mudah menangis,kadang-kadang saya sendiri rasa hilang sabar,semua tak kena,tapi tahan saja,mujur suami setia mengambil alih bila-bila diperlukan.Agaknya betul kata orang,anak perempuan ikut muka mak,PANAS...hehe..alasan tak munasabah,tapi kadang-kadang boleh pakai untuk sedapkan hati sendiri.
Minggu lepas rasa gusi Ai'syah tak ade ape lagi,semalam tengok,ada dua bonjol putih pada gusi,nak keluar gigi rupanya anak Ummi..patutlah..semuanya tak kena...owh,Ai'syah juga sudah bertatih sendiri,sekali sekala dia lepas tangan dan berjalan beberapa langkah dengan sendiri..mula-mula tengok dulu mengalir jugak air mata,Ummi bangga Ai'syah berjalan tak pakai "walker".Mintak maaf kata,saya memang anti-walker selepas saya ambil subjek Psikologi Kanak2 dan Remaja.Pensyarah saya menceritakan seribu satu keburukan walker dan kesannya pada proses pembesaran dan pembelajaran anak2.Biarlah mak ayah kita dulu saja yang buat silap,kita yang dah belajar,janganlah ulang perkara yang sama bukan?
Sekarang suami sungguh banyak night-stop,nak merungut pun tak boleh,bukan saya tak tahu kerjanya memang begitu.Apa boleh buat,rezeki kami anak beranak.Maka tidurlah saya bertemankan baju suami yang ada baunya.Syukurlah Ai'syah teman yang setia..kejutkan ummi subuh,teman ummi makan,baca buku sama2,tak ada apa yang lebih saya perlukan dari segala nikmat yang Allah pinjamkan didunia yang sementara ini.
kami sekeluarga ,saya terutamanya sangat excited menanti ketibaan ahli keluarga baru.Bukan saya mengandung,adik ipar akan bersalin seminggu dua ini,minta2 semua berjalan lancar,insyaAllah nanti bila adik mula bekerja,saya yang akan menjaga si kecil yang juga baby girl!yay!mendoakan segala yang terbaik insyaAllah..
panjang bebel hari ini,akibat lama tak menulis.:)oklah,salam..

Of love and breastfeeding..

Last week my sister had to leave for Geneva (5 days) work purposes.We've been discussing on who were going to help her husband took care of her kids,especially the youngest one.Mama said she don't mind taking all three of them back to Pekan,but my sister refused to let Faris missed his school and I was more worried on Faiz cause he is fully breastfed at nite.Therefore,we decided that Faiz and Aina stayed with me while mak jang comes and stay with me to help me out since I also have my little girl crawling around the house.While Faris stayed with his dad soo that he wont missed school.
the first night was a bit hard on faiz since he is soo used of his mother's smell.somehow my mum manage to comfort him and he sleeps.around subuh time he cried again,poor boy,I decided that I should just gave him my milk.(has been agreed by both parents and my hubby beforehand)He was a bit confused at first,but then continued drinking untill his full.Alhamdulillah.later he cried I fed him again.Ai'syah now officially have a big brother!*practically the look of the week,Ai'syah and Faiz fighting over the fan remote control,Aina refused to interfere cause she wants to sleep.LOL~


Whenever I fed him,I kept thinking this would probably happened to Ai'syah if I decided to go back to work,and its such a relief to know that I'm there for her.Faiz is way independent since my sister send him to her office nursery,so during day I don't really have to fed him up untill evening cause my sister fed him during lunch break.Ai'syah on the other hand never experienced nursery let alone staying with anyone else but me and her baba.
The few days he was a bit shy with me,then day-3,he starts playing with me and whenever I call him to come to me,he jump right on my lap waiting to be fed..aww...how cute is that?
Thanks to makjang for coming to the rescue for I don't think I can yet handle 3 kids at one time.It was a good practice though.(Seriously,found a new respect for my sister who had to take care and work at the same time,even mama had help when we were small)Tabik spring!Toing3!
I really missed Aina's singing Air pasang pagi..these are her version:

Air pasang pagi,sulut putol lima,
nonya manyun pagi,ciram potok bunya,
potok bunya melo,tanam tepi bolam,
itek betulo,ayam, menetas,
cik babe,yatuh lalam payit,
cik aminah atawe,laret.laret!

I've record it on my phone,but I cant yet transfer it.Aina is the best.I wished one day Ai'syah got that smart , funny bit of Aina.makcik..makcik...Ummi missed you!

Family vacation..Post ini penuh dgn gambo..:)

Tahun ini 04.04.10 genap papa dengan mama berkongsi hidup 34 tahun..Dari kecik lagi tiap2 kali ulangtahun ini mama mesti amik cuti.Baru beberape tahun lepas mama suggest kami bercuti sekeluarga bile time ni..Tahun lepas tak sempat nak bercuti ramai2,tahun ni alhamdulillah..sampai hajat mama..anak menantu seme cukup..kiteorang seme happy tgk mama happy...

Posing kurus yang sangat dibenci oleh kakak ku..bahahaha!Balik kepada topik asal,kami beradik-beradik(perkataan ciptaan Vince AF) pakat nak bbq.Memandangkan akula yg agak free,make mengoffer diri utk memarinate segala ape yg nak dibakar...Tup2 mlm tu mama buat suprise plop,die dah awal rupenyer tempah segale mende kat situ..Cubelah tengok makanan ni ha....

10 dewasa, 4 kanak2, 2 baby:memang tak mampula nk dihabiskan..siap leh tapau buat breakfast ni pagi esoknyer..hehe...paperpun,terime kasih mama!

kami yang makan sampai bodo (term yg aku cipta bile mkn terlalu byk smpi takle berfikir)...syukurla...Esoknye kami ke Melake,Port Dickson ade laut yang tak brape selera,jadi aku dan suami memberi cadangan ke Melake memandangkan suami sangat biase dengan Melaka (blajo lame disitu).Tempat yang best bawak budak ialah:ZOO!!!

Sungguhla penat bejalan kat Zoo Melake,dulu zaman becinte-cinte dengan suami kami penah kesini..Mase tu jalan setengah je pastu naik bende yg mcm keretapi tuh,sekarang dah tukar plak,nak naik kene beli tiket dari front counter..Mak ai..manela nk pusing semule, zoo bapokla beso...Anakanda pun sudah mule rimas dan kepanasan...Acu tgk tu...

Baik punye baba senyum,Ai'syah sudah naik temper...Papa entah brape kali menyedup heeler die..Semput papa mengikut cucu,mak jang dengan sakit lututnye..Sian die...Mujur banyak kerusi nk rehat2..Seronok tengok abang ngah,yuyu,aina,faris and faiz excited tgk macam2 binatang..Zoo Melake teduh,tu yang best tu...Mama and yang lain semue balik esoknye,tapi aku dan suami terpakse balik malam itu jugak.Suami di panggil utk bekerje,ape boleh buat..Malam tu pas maghrib,bbq skali lagi hasil2 marinate aku dan suami...Pastu kami bertolak balik..Walaupun rase penat smpi nak nanges sebab kene balik mlm tu,aku tahan,suami ku lagi sian,kene keje lagi esok nye..jadi aku redha...Saye sayang suami saye sbb die BEST!! :))

Bawah ni gmbo pelancong dari Jepun yang sgt choooomel...Sumpah budak ni kiut!Ilang rase penat tgk die ni...

p/s:hargailah keluarga anda!

saye sayang makjang saye...

I once said to Ijad that I have two mums..Well,it's true.I do have two mums;mama and mak anjang..The two most important women in my life..Now that I'm married,I have three mums..hehe..Anyway, my makjang was my mum since I was small...She practically raised me alongside my mama cause we stayed in the same house.

I think I starts sleeping with her when I was 2 or 3 years old.As mama told me when I was bigger,that she had to sneak me out from makjang's bedroom and take me to sleep with her.Then in the middle of the night, if I realized that I was not sleeping with makjang,I would cried and ran to her room instead...I remember when I was small,my family members would asked me questions such:

"nanti makjang kawin,cane?" Then I would boldly said: "Lin tolok suami makjang tido bawah" mine or mine,sometimes I had this guilt that I was responsible of her being single till today..But then again who am I to questions Allah's destiny for her?

My late Tok Wan always reminds me to take of her and I will (InsyaAllah) do my very best to gave back all the love that she had given me all this times..

I'm kidnapping her for a week to stay with me now,though she's been complaining that she got nothing to do here,I knew she is having a good time relaxing at my place...Planning to take her to do some shopping at Jusco once hubby's back..

How fast time flies...

It is coming to the end of my confinement period here in my home sweet home Pekan.All these mixed emotion of having to go back and be on my own is starting to scare me..All the questions are running through my head:

• can I do this on my own?
• can I handle the stress?
• am I going to be able to work IF I manage to get a job?
• will I'll be able to be a good mother,wife and a daughter at the same time?

now lets try to answer all the questions..

• well,technically,my hubby's at home most of the time,so I still have help cause I knew his very helpful,just not as much help compared to having my family members helping me now and the fact that I'll have to do my wifey chores(cook,clean,etc)
• i should be able to handle the stress giving the fact that I would probably won't be working...lol!
• hmm..that's a tricky one,I'll get back when it make sense to me..huhu..
• InsyaAllah...if my mama can,I can!woh!(Malaysia Boleh!)

Conclusion:I am a helpless spoil women who soo used of having helps around..but then again why would I be complaining if I have such a caring family rite?:)

Alhamdulillah...

There's no more words that could expressed the gratitude that I've been feeling this past few weeks..I just attended my convocation last saturday in UPM.As hot as the sunny sun was,it didn't matter to me..I'm finally graduating!My black long dress didn't even bother me eventhough I sweat like a pig (my husband direct translation as "bepeloh cam babi" lol) I knew that inside the hall the air-condition will be freakingly cool..

It was wonderful as both my mama and my mak made it.Though they have to travel all the way from Pahang for me, I knew that they knew how much I wanted them there..And not to mentioned the new level of my husband patience was being tested as he had to drive back and forth from UPM-Pekeliling-Puncak Alam-UPM.Just to make sure that he kept his promise to me.That he'll be waiting for me outside the hall.My dear papa was also very kind to just go with everyone's flow eventhough he was very hungry due to not having lunch prepared by me..My Along,who got his SLR lenses cracked due to the over-excited classmates of mine who did not throw the mortar board up high but to the front..(I am truly sorry long,I'll make it up to you one day,that's a promise) and lastly, my dear nephew, who was such a good sport fallowing his Uncle Ijad ( in faris words "Untle ijat') around without causing any trouble..

It was rather emotional to me as I tried to fight back my tears..remembering how much I wanted this degree.And how much my mother spend her time,energy ,and money to makesure that I'll made it this far..As walked out the hall and I saw my mama,she said "Tahniah sayang,mama takde bunge untuk Lin,malam ni kite dinner mama blanje.." and I said to her, "it's okay..Trime Kaseh ma.." and I said to myself,I should have said some more things,but we were caught in that moment.We were just hugging and kissing each other cheeks with the teary eyes.

I guess she knew that I'm lost for words and I truly hope that one day I'll be able to say all the things a should have said to her...Mama,you're my inspiration..and forever will be my hero...I love you...I'm tearing up now,so I guess I better stop...Please do not take your mom for granted..
