Not Talking

Listening to what he said this morning, his words offend me. Really. So much.

BukaPuasa@Rahsia

Last Saturday was the very first time buka puasa@outside for 3 of us. We were having much fun (except part take turn taking care of Qaisara n makan), meeting old friends and their kids..

Well actually it was an annual event of our so-called 'school batch alumni'..Since most of us dah kawen n having at least a kid, we chose to held it during weekend...the venue; for me is just an OK restaurant..(i wonder what is so special sampai dapat quite a lot of award).

It was a good time for Qaisara to meet her friend(s), and also auntie2 and uncle2 yang becok n bising :D . BTW, Qaisara wore all pink on that day, but looked pretty much like a...BOY...err you judge it yourself hehe (pics courtesy of ketua batch)

with uncle Faizal yang nak kawen daa end of this year

Ini budak pompuan ka laki2?

With some of my good friends

Normally we are among the last person going back, but this year it turned out the other way..sbb Qaisara sudah mengamuk penat!

Do I (Qaisara) need a nebuliser?

Pity my lil princess, down due to bacterial pneumonia and really have to struggle breathing..
Haritu masa 3 bulan kene acute bronciolitis...sorry baby, mama n babah pun tatau nak buat macam mana to prevent it from happening again.. :-(

She went through quite a lot of nebulising session (utk legakan kesesakan nafasnya itu). That means mama n babah kenala ulang alik ke klinik at least 3 times a day for the session. Penat! [Today mama need to rush (from mama's office) to nursery to pick up and send Qaisara to the clinic for the session, lucky me to have an office near to the nursery and clinic as well]

So..i was thinking of..BUYING A NEBULISER MACHINE! One of my officemate has this at home..and the good thing is, it can be used by anybody..

What do you think? Is it worthwhile to spend for the machine?

Silent Mode

Will not be blogging for next week, (eleh macam la selalu sangat blog) sebabnya:

1. have to study for my BSCI paper, nak exam!
2. Bulan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak..better do al-quran reciting more (insya-allah) than blogging
3. am busy thinking of what to cook for breaking fast and iftar (ngeheheh)
4. Qaisara needs me more, now x sihat after injection last week..

So enjoy Qaisara pics while i'm away! And please pray for my recertification exam, too: kena refresh CCNP dulu la pulak before go for CCIP *sigh*

Refreshed!

Am back from one-week-tedious-yet-useful training...ehehe n kena baca buku for the exam..heh! Hopefully i managed to get myself prepared for it...dah la bulan puasa exam tu..


Speaking of bulan puasa, this is our first puasa with dearest Qaisara.. Will i manage to prepare the food for breaking the fast, and Iftar as well? Frankly speaking, it is sooo hard to cook with the presence of Qaisara (unless if she's sleeping). Hmmm macam mana eh? teringat my husband comment on my very simple dish yesterday: Sedapla awak masak harini..walaupun telur aje tp mmg sedap. Telur aje? huhuihui..tersangat la simplenya lauk itu. Sebab itu je yang termampu. Qaisara needs my attention more :D

Whatever the reason is, i plan (have to) cook and cook for both of us..takkan nak beli aje everyday kan..i must! i must! i must!

Will update u guys for all dishes i cook (insya-allah)

AHLAN WASAHLAN YA RAMADHAN

Ingin ku katakan..tapi pada siapa...

@#$%&^*(&^%$%#$#^%$^()&% )(&*&^*&!#%*!#@

--sad :-(

The Real Thing

I've seen your face a thousand times
Have all your stories memorized
I've kissed your lips a million ways
But I still love to have you around

I've held you too many times to count
I think I know you inside out
And we're together most days
But I still love to have you around

You're the one I want and it's not just phase
You're the one I trust, our love is the real thing

Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I'm happiest when we spend time

You're a salty water ocean wave
You knock me down, you kiss my face
I know the storms will always come
But I still love to have you around

Heaven knows what will come next
So emotional, you're so complex
A rollercoaster built to crash
But I still love to have you around

You're the one I want and it's not just phase
You're the one I trust, our love is the real thing
Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I'm happiest when we spend time (it's only you and I)

It's you there when I close my eyes
And you in the morning
I never thought you'd still be mine
Or I'd really need to have you around

Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I need you, you're my love supply

Don't go away
My love (you're my love supply)
I want you to stay
In my life (every day, every night)
Don't go away
My love (you're my love supply)
I need you, you're my love supply

Makan2, tengkiu boss!

Our team had a mouthful lunch today..special thanks to our beloved boss for such a big treat! Eheh..bos kita baikk...ari ni dia belanja lunch@chili's..lps tu maher belanja latte@starbucks plak..thanks ya!

For piccas, later ya peeps!

You did it, babe!

Motoring Hunt: must-join, not-to-be-missed event. That is exactly what it means to my husband. As for me, penat aje: get up as early as six (during weekend tu!) for the 1 whole day hunt. If you win, it's your luck..but if not, hrrmmpphh..for me buat rugi bayar yuran penyertaan aje (which is not really cheap, at least 100 bucks ok, can be up to 200!)

I can say...he is addicted to it. Spending hundreds (this month he joins 3 hunt, you calculate the fee) for this hobby, he will..Collection of the questions at our house: boleh buat library :)
His hunt accessories: The clipboard, dictionary, thesaurus, pens, map..(don't think only budak sekolah ada dictionary)

T-shirt he got from the hunt-a lot! Tak payah beli baju selalu..banyak sangat baju free hihi..and he is proud wearing it. (bukan senang nak dapat the shirt..konon :P )

Sometimes, i was thinking...perabih duit masuk hunt tu..x selalu menang besar pun...klu duit tu beli my shoes lagi best...tp last week was kewl gitu...you brought back 1K!

Congratulations, dear!

Aqiqah Qaisara : 1st of July 2007

Qaisara's aqiqah ceremony was held last 2 weeks, (only managed to upload the pics today hehe). She behaved very well that day...(tapi dah petang surrender, terus mengamuk 'kepenatan berlakon baik'). Not much photos taken, since semua org busy..this is the best pic (i can say) that can be uploaded. Will upload others later...

Little Qaisara turns 3 months

Last Sunday was her 3rd months old birthday..how fast time goes by!

Ah-ha!

motherhood isn't easy..

It was almost 5 months i leave this blog with no updates at all. (Yes, at all!)
Not many things happened during that particular period, but surely the most joyous moment i had in those 5 months dated 8th of april--the arrival of our little bundle of joy: QAISARA

Went through confinement was like..hell!(Ish tak baik cakap camtu, it was for my own good) Believe me, orang yang sangat sabar saje yang kata confinement is ok. Tapi best, first class service: macam puteri raja ok! Thanks to my beloved mother..Tolong jaga me and my baby...
This really make me think: kesian orang yang tak ada mak..siapa yang nak jaga masa pantang? Nobody can take care of you as good as your mother..prepare the food for 'org dalam pantang', pakaikan barut/bengkung, urutkan badan, and even siapkan air mandi tau! Tu tak kira jaga baby yang meragam at night..Again, thank you very much mak. Luv ya!

It was time to leave mak after confinement, and suddenly i feel so sad..ahah, being so comfy at home made me homesick when i returned to KL..but life must go on...

Too many things to face, taking care of the baby alone (i mean with no more help from mak), back to work etc..that makes me laaagiii x sempat nak update blog. Later ya!

As for now, i'm proud to present my little girl:-

Baby Qaisara is now 6kg!

It's February...

Well,

Time flies...we are now in Mid of Feb already...February will always be my favourite month of all because:

1. My birthday falls in this month, as well as my brother, my husband and also my father.
2. Err..tu je kot ( i guess reason no 1 should be enough to make Feb the most awaited month)

3 birthdays passed by:

1. My lil brother 19th birthday on the 10th
2. My hubby 27th birthday on the 7th
3. My 27th birthday on the 15th

February facts:

1. I got my Valentine rose on the 15th (a day after). We don't actually celebrate it but i gave him a card though..so maybe he felt like not giving anything but only wishes, he bought me a rose the next day..(which happened to be my birthday) Why on 15th? because "hari ni satu kuntum 5 ringgit saja..kalau u beli semalam 15 ringgit maa" that was exactly si penjual bunga said to him, he claimed.

2. On the day i got the rose, i only got the rose! Oh, and the birthday card. I supposed i don't deserve any birthday present this year, as all the 'fund' is now funded to our lil one who is on the way to meet us this april..hmm..last year i had to sacrifice for our wedding, this year for the baby pulak...am i destined to not getting any present anymore? :-(

3. During our sweet-old-time, my husband (boifriend back then) was always "tiru" the idea of giving birthday present. Since his birthday was 8 days earlier than me, he will tiru all my gifts idea. For this year, the card he gave was almost the same design with the one a gave him the previous week! Huh, hubby you never change, and won't change i guess..will show you guys the card...then you evaluate ok.

4. Me also don't deliver the birthday present for my husband :D The "thing" is in my mind..it's just that physically still in the shop :-) Still no time to go to the shop and get one for hubby...my condition now doesn't allow me to rush here and there alone. So still kena tunggu my very busy husband to accompany me...

5. I got a very nice MMS birthday wish from my brother written Happy Birthday Along.

6. Not to be forgotten: in the office, one major outage happened on my birthday and i'm the one who attended it. Tak ong ka my birthday? :-(

babymoon

You've heard of a honeymoon. Well, now, make room for the "babymoon." It's a new trend, common among first-time-parents-to-be, who see it as one of the last vacations they'll take before "baby makes three."

The term "babymoon," was coined by British author and childbirth educator Sheila Kitzinger, who defines it as the important time a family spends together alone during a baby's first few days of life.
Many couples take a "babymoon" during the second trimester (when the risk of miscarriage is lower). And travel experts say, Florida and the Caribbean are their destinations of choice.

Time on the beach, at a nice resort, being pampered before your belly and family expand... it sounds wonderful. Makes me wish I had taken a "babymoon" when I was pregnant with my daughter. However, if you don't have the money to take advantage of the "babymoon" packages offered by resorts and spas, but you still want "special time" with your spouse, consider a weekend trip close to home. After all, often it's not where you are, but whom you are with, that makes for a memorable trip.

--Quoted from travel.families.com/blog/what-is-a-babymoon

MY DEAR HUSBAND, I NEED A BABYMOON!

2007 already?

Cepatnya masa berlalu...can't believe it's now 2007...dah mid of Januari dah pun...very sure APRIL is aproaching so soon..(huh takutnye)

Many things happened on December and yet to be summarized before we start a new 2007 stories. First of all i'd like to congratulate my friend YATIE, on her wedding held in Terengganu. We came to share the joyous moment (and perabih duit dekat Pasar Payang as well)...

Congratulation Yatie and Haizul

Celebrated our Raya Haji with inlaws, still manage to go back to my hometown to celebrate my lil brother's engagement...congratulations both of you :)

hehe..hantaran instant done by us!

A week after new year, hubby and I went to Genting (dapat hotel RM1). Here, we (hubby actually) found a very interesting and useful station that we thought we had never found it anywhere else before:

A free handphone-charging station!

Sooo many chargers for different model of phones

Menarik kan? For emergency cases, you'll find it really useful...

My 2006 events and histories was wrapped with a not to be forgotten+demotivated event: 4 of my geng minum petang at the office had left the company for a better career move in MNC companies in Cyberjaya...their loss were really affecting my minum petang routine..especially during my shift..ergh...lps ni nak minum ngan sape :-((

Hopefully this new year will be a very prosperous, lucky year to me and giving me more good things, more money, perhaps :-)

UPDATES

Hmm..not updating quite a long time...so here are fews:

1. Introducing my new goggle:

Just get this from my sister as a gift for no occasion...thanks sis..this replace my old black goggle..now i have a goggle suits my bikini! hehe

Thanks to dearest hubby for buying me the pants..but still unmanage to wear it..no suitable top yet..Planning to get at least one this weekend. Anyway, the sandal is really comfortable eventhough it makes me look like makcik2 a bit :P

4. A not-so-good event in a nice event..

The Verdict?

My First IMAX Experience

Last Saturday, we went out to Berjaya Times Square. Well, considered that as a family outing:- we brought along my 2 SILs to watch IMAX : Open Season. It was a great experience, and worth our money spent...

Looking at the ticketing area, it was much2 less crowded compared to our normal cinemas (eg: GSC, TGV etc).

Waah..so less crowded, unlike GSC and TGV? hmmm...

The reason must be the pricing of the ticket..but the difference? Hmmpphh..IMAX is totally cool. Watching in 3D mode really gives you a satisfaction that you won't get when you watch in 2D..(Tapi kene abaikan about how do you look wearing damn big glasses: it was so funny)

Funny me in super-duper big glasses!

I'll definitely go often to IMAX if i can get lower price. But for now, sekali-sekala ajelah..

From where the shot was taken?

Photo taken using my 6280, by my husband

Could you guys guess? This pic was taken in the bubble lift at KLCC. You can see the photographer next to me, holding the camera-phone.
