Qaisara 19-month-old

What's your toddler doing? At around 19 months, your toddler begins to understand when things don't conform to grownup ideas. She'll laugh at something that's obviously wrong — like calling a giraffe a zebra or calling a brother a sister. (She laughed seeing Pocoyo acted as Superpocoyo). She'll also notice when something isn't quite right, like an eye missing from her stuffed bear or a new stain on the carpet. (yup, she will alert me when her milk spilled 'mama, tupah (read: mama, tumpah)

Although you're probably still understanding less than half of what your toddler says, she's getting a handle on most of the words you use around her. She's also having a vocabulary spurt and putting together pairs of words, like "Me go" or "You put." ( plus: Babah, wetap [read: Babah, wake up], mama, cipat [read: mama, cepat], ish ish ucukkkk [read: ish ish busuk]

As for social development, go slow. Your toddler will get all the stimulation she needs from unstructured play, so steer clear of formal lessons, such as dance or music, until she's at least 3. Play dates give her a chance to play near other children, but don't expect her to truly interact just yet. (Her playdate so far is her favourite kakak Aqish-sampai termimpi2 okeh, suka sangat main ngan atis)

She's such a copycat now. Follow everything u do, anything u say. Staying one whole day in nursery, makes her bringing back quite a lot of new words and new 'behaviour' each day:

#1:

Qaisara: Mama, Mama
Me: No reply
Qaisara: Mama!
Me: No reply
Qaisara: Mama, woi mama! [read in a very high-pitch sound]
Me: Erk

And owh, she now has started to appreciate baby, pandai sayang baby (by trying to kiss, hug and play with the baby), eventhough she still refers herself as baby :)

But wait, this is not a hint that she'll be getting one at home to play with ;)


note: takziah to Aisyah, di atas pemergian ayahanda tersayang...semoga rohnya tenang di sana..

OoOoOoOoOoOoBAMA!

You did it man!

She made me panic, again!

Drama gila seyh. It happened yesterday. I was having quite a bad headache, tapi buat tak tau je...kalau dilayan lagila sakit. To shorten the story, my to-do-list after office hour that day was:

1) to pick up Qaisara from nursery
2) to fetch my husband at his office @ KLCC
3) to pick up cupcakes for our cousin's wedding in Keramat
4) to send the cupcakes to our cousin's house @ Taman Melati
5) to have dinner @ their house

So there we go. Hubby was fasting that day, and the moment i reached his office it was about time for iftar. Hubby requested to break his fast @ KLCC, nak makan dekat Manhattan Fish Market katanya..but i said 'kita makan kat rumah aunt Norlia je la, diorang dah masak dah pun...u beli roti dekat petrol pump je la dulu'

We stopped by and got some buns for him. Qaisara requested for her milk and i fed her as usual lah kan. 10 mins later, guess what? She vomitted her milk she drank and habis carseat depan...duhh.We stopped at other petrol station nearby, to clean up all the mess. Poor Sara kena pakai baju yang dia dah pakai during the day...sebab baju tido dah kotor (and we don't have spare shirt)

The journey continued, we reached Kak Chik's house to pick up the cupcakes. Qaisara looked ok..with her baju comot :P. She ate a few kuih raya, and drank some plain water. Half an hour later, off we went to Taman Melati to deliver the cupcakes. Being only about 10 mins in the car, she vomitted again! This time all kuihs and plain water came out...poor baby nangis lagi...plus seluar and tudung mamanya habis kena muntah. And oh, carseat belakang juge ya...

At Taman Melati she vomitted 3 more times, we decided to bring her to doctor. I called her caretaker to check what she ate, or did she fell or did anything happen today? She ate nasi lemak a bit today, the rest is as normal as the other day...hmmmm... was it nasi lemak?

At the clinic , 2 more times: before and after we met the doctor. Thank god x jumpa sesiapa yang dikenali...i was wearing purple-colour office wear with turqoise seluar jogging! Macam *n*o* ok. And final vomit of the day was after she drank plain water on the way back home. All those counted as 8 ? In 4 hours? Oh my....

We reached home at almost 12 AM. She was asleep by then. Lega gila bila dia minum susu twice throughout the night and x muntah lagi...thanks doc for the medicine..

Today she looks ok, hopefully she is ok. Please pray for her ya!

**can't imagine how the scenario would change if we were having our dinner at Manhattan Fish Market..masak mak nak oi

A ( not-so ) raya story

How's your raya folks? We didn't really celebrate our raya because Qaisara had a measles on 2nd day of raya. Demmit.

She was having high-fever on and off a week before raya, when the red thingy popped out, baru la kitorg tahu what makes her so cranky and uncomfy...

During her fever


Malam raya: still in the mood for fireworks


Raya Day 1: The only decent pic of her, for the rest asyik nangis aje


The day Measles popped out

Her atok(s) and nenek(s) put sooo many effort to ensure their only granddaughter recover fast:

1) To give her coconut drink: no red spot hidden inside the body, all must out!
2) To not expose her to rain, this will lead to something worse (as they said lah)
3) No chicken, beef, seafood
4) No jalan raya
5) No etc

Unfortunately, babah couldn't stand the rule no 4. And the results, we keep kena marah everytime we go raya. Tension tul lah. Tension betul dgn babah. Sit still, no one shout at us. The end. Later still we can go raya...Grrrrrrr

On the 5th of raya...no more reddish body over Qaisara...so kira dah baiklah. Her nenek melaka was so kind-hearted that she prepared a green-colour paste to be applied to her body..Utk buang miang and sejukkan badan yang gatal, katanya.

The Lil Hulk Hogan

The Lil Hulk Hogan(closed-up)

Alhamdulillah, she is much much ok now. I guess red spot semua dah keluar...hopefully x kene lagi lps ni...

Sudah ok!

I am happy now..my healthy baby is back!

P.S I Love (always) You

Gara-Gara menengok Cerita itu, saya telah menjadi jiwang sekejap...

Kenapa perlu ikut cakap orang...

.....bila kita mampu buat decision sendiri?

Hrmmpphhh....

Congratulations Lenot! Happy for You!!!

How's your first day?

Assalamualaikum and Good Day folks,

First and foremost, Ahlan Wasahlan Ya Ramadhan..telah tiba juga bulan yang ditunggu2 umat Islam sedunia...semoga kita masing-masing memanfaatkan kesempatan yang ada ini, mengumpul pahala sebanyak yang boleh.

I found this upon my reading:

Do'a malaikat Jibril menjelang Ramadhan

"Ya Allah tolong abaikan puasa ummat Muhammad, apabila sebelum memasuki bulan Ramadhan dia tidak melakukan hal-hal yang berikut:

* Tidak memohon maaf terlebih dahulu kepada kedua orang tuanya (jika masih ada);
* Tidak berma'afan terlebih dahulu antara suami isteri;
* Tidak bermaafan terlebih dahulu dengan orang-orang sekitarnya.

Maka Rasulullah pun mengatakan Amiin sebanyak 3 kali. Dapatkah kita bayangkan, yang berdo'a adalah Malaikat dan yang meng-amiinkan adalah Rasullullah dan para sahabat, dan dilakukan pada hari Jumaat.

So saya ingin memohon ampun dan maaf, seandainya ada salah dan silap dan semoga kita sama2 mendapat kelebihan di bulan yang berkat ini...

Kau begitu sempurna
Di mataku kau begitu indah
Kau membuat diriku akan selalu memujamu

Di setiap langkahku ku kan
selalu memikirkan dirimu
Tak bisa ku bayangkan
Hidupku tanpa cintamu

Janganlah kau tinggalkan diriku
tak kan mampu menghadapi semua
Hanya bersamamu ku akan bisa

Kau adalah darahku
Kau adalah jantungku
Kau adalah hidup ku lengkapi diriku oh sayang engkau begitu sempurna
Sempurna


Kau genggam tanganku saat diriku lemah dan terjatuh kau bisikkan dan hapus semua sesalku

Janganlah kau tinggalkan diriku
tak kan mampu menghadapi semua
Hanya bersamamu ku akan bisa

Kau adalah darahku
Kau adalah jantungku
Kau adalah hidup ku lengkapi diriku oh sayang engkau begitu sempurna .. sempurna

Sayangku engkau begitu sempurna.. sempurna.. sempurna..

Happy our 2nd Wedding Anniversary Sayang!

Life is so hard when he is away

Hubby is away for 2 weeks, antara aktiviti outstationnya yang paling lama since we have Qaisara..if it's 2 days or 1 week, biasala tuu but this time 2 weeks is too 'pahit utk ditelan' especially for Qaisara..

Ni baru 2 hari, Qaisara dah start buat perangai dah..She gets cranky easily, and asyik nak kepit je..pagi tadi kat nursery she cried when i left her to work..sian sangat..selalu siap lambai2..ni nangis pulak :(

Another 1 week plus to go..can't wait! Sian gile tgk Qaisara(and kesian pada mamanya juge)

Harizah's Bachelorette Party

We had so much fun @ The Zon All Suites Residences on the Park last Saturday....it was actually a normal outing..but with the companion of the best-est friends among all..it turned out to be the most happening get together event..(and of course no boys ok, HEAVENNNN)

This activity was started on 2005, celebrating Aisyah's day...we did melalak 1 mlm kat karaoke, and got the chance to accompany her lingerie(s) shopping. Kelaka la time tu sbb most of us tak kawen lagi...Then, continue pulak with my party mid of 2006, held somewhere @ Sg Apa ntah nama dia (Miah, help dah lupeee) Best giler enjoying our BBQ sambil mandi2 sungai and having hair spa...besttt, mmg best..especially bila part knowledge sharing tu. I still remember, Faryna nye lamb sangat sedapp..dgn jagung bakar Aisyah lagi..*droool* And the most interesting part was we were freely to gossip and gossip without the presence of our boipren/hubby/fiance. Tapi cuak siot since Aisyah was pregnant that time, and siap boleh cramp masa mandi sungai huuu thank god, nothing happened.

Bachelorette (episode: lenot) was antara yang sadis..timing cam ok..tp last2 sikit je join..(yang tak tahan bride-to-be siap balik awal tu sbb kena pergi hospital ON CALL. Last2 tinggal kitorg je mandi pantai huuuuu. Resulting hotel room@PD tu jadi cam kosong je..still, we enjoyed ourself even though without the bride to be hehehehe

So for Harizah's one..a very memorable picnic@KLCC park, followed by body massage, foot spa, hair spa..pergh rasa macam princess. Stripper pon ade...Qaisara, Aqish and Dania volunteered themselves to replace the absent stripper (Nafis yang demam). Adala show sikit2 dlm bath tub *winks* Lupa lagi..we (read: aisyah n miah) did karaoke all night long. Enjoy siot!

All of all, yang paling best is when we can gather, and share all stories, nasihat2..and yang paling best flash back cerita zaman sekolah!

So who's party next eh?

Feeling Happy

Huehuehuehue..feeling happy today:

Happy because Huggies Dry Diapers sold@30.99 for L(72)~~Happy because i reached office soo early ~~Happy because my baby is recovering from her bronchitis~~Happy because i know i can move to our own house by next month~~Happy to sign an agreement that makes my eyes glow n glow~~Happy because we'll be having a get-together picnic tomorrow~~

ooh i'm just HAPPY!

if you have any useful tips/info, pls pls pls share with me ok!

Untuk Emak n Abah

~Selamat Menyambut Ulangtahun perkahwinan yang ke-29, semoga berbahagia hingga ke akhir hayat~
