A Trip to Langkawi

Langkawi Island View

Hotel where we're staying.. Gosh I forgot already the hotel's name..adoi

Last March 09 , we went to Langkawi for Jalan-Jalan. We never had the chance for honeymoon because I soon found out that I was pregnant after getting married last year. Bunting Pelamin la ni. Hehe.. Tp fate was not on our side when my first pregnancy was miscarried at 3 months. Husband and me were so sad as we're so happy and excited to welcome our lil angel to this world. Only after 6 months from the miscarried, doc then gave us the green light to start 'production' . So this trip is a part of our remedy la to get a baby..hehe.. try to get away from the busy city... take a long holiday and jalan-jalan.

Err...my funny husband buat aksi 'Titanic'' at Telaga Tujuh

On our first day at Langkawi, we went to Telaga Tujuh and The Oriental Village which is the entrance for the cable car ride. We only went to the First Telaga I think.. yg lain tak larat because we don't have appropriate shoes for hiking.

Me at Telaga Tujuh

Err... Me again. The guy behind me a tourist from India.

Ni la Telaga Tujuh. Tak nampak pun macam telaga. In English they call it as Telaga Tujuh Waterfall.

The Oriental Village

Ni Pic after a cable car ride. At the top of Mat Cincang Mountain. Can See the pulau-pulau kecil from here. Nice View and very breathtaking!

Langkawi Sky-Bridge. Ni sepa2 gayat are not advisable to walk around here. Because it is called sky bridge kan, so the bridge is only tergantung because of the cable support attached to a structure. See above pic. If the wind blow harder, you can feel the swing of the bridge.

The sky-bridge view from top of Mat Cincang Mountain.

It started to rain..tu la ada kabus di belakang.

Err..After cable-car ride we went to Dataran Lang. Very near to Pekan Kuah. We did some shopping there. Beli pinggan mangkuk and etc..

The next day we had a visit to Zoo. This pic is really funny. Tgk my husband punya posing takut kena patuk oleh that adorable bird. Haha...

Punyala susah mau ambil gambar burung merak ni. Ini pun nasib kembang. We have to wait for about 20 minutes to snap it!

Jom Makan! We had our lunch at one of the restaurant dekat tgh2 kawasan paya. Aisey..sorry la..ndak igt the restaurant's name. haha..

View inside the restaurant.

Then a visit to Makam Mahsuri Village..

Finally terbongkang sorang2 di tepi beach near to our hotel. Besoknya kami pun balek ke kl..and the best outcome of the trip that I found out that I'm pregnant a month after that! Wink..Wink... *_*

BB is Kicking Vigorously!

I'm entering 35 weeks of pregnancy and the BB is kicking actively. Takpa sayang..kick whenever u feel want to! Mama can still handle it...NO PROBLEMO!

Recently I just feel so tired...and feel like to take a rest a lot... My kaki, tangan and muka sembab...Now I just stopped reading a story book to Aymann....I love to read a story of Princess and The Frog to him..Can u believe it? I still do not know why I like the story a lot! Usually will do it before I go to sleep.. Also stopped singing the Twinkle-Twinkle and I Love You song like I used to sing to him..Tersangat la penat..Once suda landing on the bed ..straight away ZZZZzzzzzzzzzz...that's it!

I'm beginning to notice that Aymann loves Twinkle-Twinkle song so much.. I started to let him listen to the song when I was 5 months pregnant... cos this time I think that the BB has already the ability to listen in the womb... So everyday in the morning and afternoon (usually in the office) I will put on the head phone on my tummy and listen to Barney's Collection Songs! I can barely tell that he loves Twinkle-Twinkle song because he will start to kick vigorously whenever the song is aired to the womb! hehe..

After sometime, whenever I feel guilty..ya lah...nanti the BB terlalu excited pula macam BARNEY... I will switch to surah-surah (Yusuf and Luqman) from QURAN...so that the BB will be good and kind hearted like his father.. Err..not like his mother... :P~~ Husband will always remind me not to pamper him so much with Barney's song..because later after he grown-up, he will take over and conquer CARTOON NETWORK & DISNEY channels all to himself (like his other dearly cousins) ... and becoming a cartoon lover... minum susu pun kena tgk cartoon... tidur pun kena tgk cartoon.....he afraid that Aymann will becoming a Cartoon FREAKs and then ending up the father can no longer watch his favourite channel ...haha..funny...

There is another song which I always sing to Aymann the most...It's an Indonesian Children Song , Bintang Kecil...My father used to sing this song when I was a little... I guess he found this adorable song when he did his studies there..

Diapers Bag & Travelling Bag

Errr..been thinking whether to buy these two bags as my Diapers Bag and Baby's Travelling Bag. I know my husband will not agree on this if he looked at the price. Le sport Sac? Errr..I know it kind of a crazy decision.. but I like the design and it can be multipurpose bag..

The disadvantages of buying a dedicated Diapers Bag and Baby's Travelling bag is you can use it for the baby in short period only. I learnt from experienced mother (my friends), mmg sometimes tak guna pun..Guna sekejap aja...after that mmg tak guna... I found one yesterday...but I will definitely guna sekejap aja..even the bag got diapermat..and many useful compartments for the bottle,diapers and etc...

So why not I just buy these cutie bags kan? Boleh pakai lama..and can use for other purpose ... (haha..yalah tu...sebab mamanya mau pinjam pakai pegi jalan2)... itu pasal nk beli...

These are the few of wonderful patterns and colors to consider after thoroughly look at the shop. Frankly speaking the price is far more expensive here than Japan. I think all the handbag are cheaper than here..LV also cheaper by RM 200.00 - RM 300.00, Grrr..... ;p~~I bought my first Le Sport Sac when I was there for a business trip. Wahh..mmg byk beza sangat compared here..

Haih...angan2 aja ni..Don't know if I can buy it or not... =)

Maid's Bedroom

Ahaaaa... Don't be surprise that I also need to prepare for my maid's bedroom. Huhu.. My Condo has 4 no of rooms. 3 rooms upstairs and 1 small room at downstair. Hmm..decided to let the maid stays in the small room at downstairs because I want to maintain upstairs area as family private area. She can only come upstairs for housework like cleaning/ironing and etc..

However I feel pity a bit because the maid room is very small... Only can fit bed and wardrobe..Teramatla kecil..will show you how the room looks like after completing furnishing it this week..

The furnishing work will be completed by this week...with help from my husband..hopefully larat la this time... I lagi la tak larat.. Will be buying furnitures from Wescourt nearby my house..single bed only cost me RM 69.00... I don't know about the wardrobe/cupboard..oh..mattress..pillow..wahh..

Looking forward to arrival of my new maid..(cewah...patut kena cakap arrival for my baby...ni maid pulak..telebih sudah aku~!) Many things to do before she' coming..I'm learning a lot of Do's and Don'ts for maid from the internet... Some also doesn't make sense..some also reasonable la... I can't believe that there is one article I read from other blog saying that the employer need to prepare a timetable for her maid.. Hmm...Good idea but is it efficient? I don't know..Some also tell to treat them like familiy member..and some also tell not to..wah..susah... But I believe that when you treat ppl rite..they will treat back the same way how you treat them... KARMA..

I'm excited to have my own maid and at the same time feel scared.. Can you trust a stranger to babysit your lil baby in your absence? Ohh..another question need to think of...takpa2..yg penting beranak dulu okay... =P. Peace!

Is Make-Over part of Nesting Instinct?

Yeah..I think So. Nesting instinct is a frequent occurence throughout pregnancy, and it is a sign that you are about to welcome your baby in to the world!!!

Been developing some signs of nesting instinct, like cleaning everything in sight lightly and preparing all the necessary things related to delivery (i.e baby garments laundry, baby's room and etc..).. Kinda rushing around my house lately, now only I feel like completing the ironing..too bad I'm so lazy now... imagine la it has been two months tak lipat kain...hahah...so right after I angkat kain...I timbun all the kain on a bed in my second bedroom and soon after that the kain pun tinggi membukit sampai my husband call it 'Kedai Bundle'. haha...

Another sign is like reorganizing the cupboards (In progress..but very slow motion sangat la due to back pain), packing and repacking labor bag (err... not yet), cleaning every room in the house (plan to do this coming weekend..if larat la..or just wait my new maid to clean it up for me ka? gila pemalas si kuming ni..haha..see how..) , joining new activities that I was previously uninterested in (Errr...lately macam teringin sangat nak buat pedicure and manicure..pastu rasa nk have a new hair cut...errr..and nk pegi massage .This is I was curious about..suddenly the mood of nk bercantik-cantik is coming..wah..all of this while mmg I dont have the mood..even I hate to look at myself in the mirror!

I want to cut my hair short.. Feel so rimas with long hair.. short hair will look better on me..later easier for the confinement lady to hilangkan all the bekas-bekas hitam around my neck..hopefully the hitam-hitam thingy will disappear after delivery (the blackish around the neck is common during pregnancy..not only around the neck..can be somewhere else..ahaha) Thank God the worst blackish I'm having is around the neck... It looks like sangat berdaki..huhu

After that is to do my manicure and pedicure..haha..I have never done this before tapi teringin sangat nk give it a try.. In fact I couldn't potong my kuku kaki anymore..tangan tak sampai because belly is getting bigger and bigger... Husband pulak scared too death nak potong kan cos takut tepotong isi kuku.. =P

For the most part, nesting instincy is a completely enjoyable. As long as you are happy and enjoying what you are doing and not pushing yourself too hard. One more thing is to take frequent rest breaks like me and let my husband do all the thingy..I love being pregnant!!

Woohoo...!!I'm 34 weeks pregnant..6 weeks to go...Yeayyy!!!

IKEA 2010 Catalogue is OUT!

Pic is tagged from IKEA Austria. I couldn't find a Malaysia IKEA catalogue cover this time.

I checked my mailbox on last weekend and received a copy of 2010 catalogue. You can see many new items inside. Fresh colors were introduced to some of the products line.. New decoration and furnishing arrangement are the good highlight for those who are looking for furnishing ideas on upcoming Christmas or new year. =)

So in love with Billy book case. Now they are introducing a new Billy book case (you can find the new Billy book case now is taller than the old Billy..Correct me if im wrong) . Available in blue, red and multicolor.

Price reduction to some of the products are also a worth to buy now! Extremely catchy to be precise.

A Peek to My Delivery Preparations...

I did laundry for my lil one...

Just bought a few delivery blankets..can be used as blanket as well. Expert says that thermal blanket /thick blanket or duvet not suitable for newborn which will may suffocating the lil one..

I call it Aymann's Kit... Mama already prepared you Minyak Yu-Yeee Cap Limau, your comb, nail clipper, baby powder and diaper rashes cream... Senang..and mudah..simpan satu tempat..easy to carry for parents who do a lot of travels.... i.e: Mok Tok Hse (Kota Bharu) and Tok Mama Hse (Kota Kinabalu) .. I don't know what to call my MOM because this is her first grandchildren for my family side.. Nenek? (cam tua sangat la pulak cos my nenek still hidup lagi..takut confuse).. Better call Tok Mama la kan.. takde la bunyi tua sangat..ahaha..


Just to let u know, I wanna keep this kit as a tradition as my SIL is also having this kit for her childrens sampai la anak yg ketiga..which is so cute seeing them with their lil kit!


Oh yeah.The kit box was bought from IKEA..you can find it in Children Department. 3 pcs for RM 19.90 . Many colors to choose from. Don't worry. Happy shopping!

My Baby Hiccups So Much In the Womb

I am suprised to learn that my baby has the hiccup! Yup. That is right. Many babies have their hiccups while they are in the womb and some of the babies have the hiccups multiple times a day.

So I've been experiencing like a series of rhythimic movements (continuous kicks) that last from 3-30 minutes and I was getting so worried because he has them so often. Soon I also find that after I eat, drink and move around is when the baby will always get the hiccups! Err.... sorry sayang..

I did a research and actually hiccupping is good sign of a health baby and it is normal. Because only mature fetuses will hiccup, as hiccup will rely on the development of the central nervous system. Which means good! Ahaaa!

It is such a weird but cute feeling..Can't wait to see him ACTUALLY hiccupping! Being a first time mom is an amazing thrill. Good Luck to all moms out there.

Cot Bedding Hacker

Bought a duvet cover with pillow case cover (above pic is not a cot quilt cover) and baby bumper pad yesterday. The cot quilt cover I found was so ugly (:P) plus the material is not comfy as I expected it to be. And then found this colorful cover which I feel suit for my baby boy; the material is awsome...smooth and comfy...and decided to do something with it and transform it to a bedding set for my baby cot...

Before doing so I need to buy the cot mattress, pillow and bolster for measurement...without it I could't proceed with sewing process..Still thinking to sew/hack it by myself or just ask a tailor to sew it for me...haha... Need to complete this all before mid of next month!!!!

Oh yah.. bought a SNIGLAR baby crib (see above pic. It can be a cot also) from IKEA for RM169.00 only...The cheapest cot available at IKEA... natural color but I don't like it so much cos prefer it to be white.... After raya only I will be thinking on what to do with this baby cot. Will be using a White Nippon Pylox Spray Paint to transform the fade and dull color of the cot into white...

So many things in my mind right now because now I'm busying for baking my CREAM Cheese Brownies for RAYA festive. I've been receiving so many orders and must bake them by this week in order to deliver them this Sunday and next week...

Will be away for RAYA festive starting 16 Sept till 27 Sept... Happy HARI RAYA and MAAF ZAHIR BATIN.

Errrr... I Can't Control Myself Anymore....

Despite of having a rough day yesterday, I am so happy today because I finally found a stroller for my baby.. What makes me happier is that.. it's a preloved stroller..Whenever when I do my outing at the shopping mall, I like to watch and see the father and mother walking their stroller.
Some of the strollers are so bulky which I like the most... and some of it having a small and thin frame ..which sometimes terrified me a lot.

How to select a stroller? Well first of all..how much will it cost you?? This makes sense... ;P

Before buying one, consider where you live and where you plan to to push the stroller.
If you live in a city and plan to take your child on long urban hikes, you'll need a stroller that's sturdy but easy to maneuver up curbs and in and out of shops and narrow aisles. If you're a suburban parent who uses a stroller mainly for quick trips to the store, you can probably get away with something lighter and cheaper. Active moms and dads who hope to take their baby on jogs or hikes in rough terrain will want to spring for a rugged jogging stroller. Simple as that!

Nowadays, what I see is the stroller manufacturer trying to produce a fashionable and stylish stroller. I like Quinny brand but it is so expensive. Shown it to my husband the price and he replied that it is better to buy a motorbike for him than a Quinny stroller.. haha...funny...but so truee.

Okay back to the second hand stroller I found and planning to buy today.. the normal not sure but the stroller was bought in Singapore..nd he's selling the 5 months used Babywell/CONECO 3 in 1 PRAM/PUSHCHAIR/CARSEAT stroller for only RM 450.00! I think the second hand value is quite reasonable though not knowing the actual price selling in Singapore...But since the design same as CONECO stroller brand..I feel it is worthy catch to buy...Here are the pictures... Thanks MR. FANSOERI!

I like the BIG TYRES at the back.. Don't know why... Stroller can convert to Baby PRAM

The stroller handle is still covered with plastic..I like..
Can convert to Push Chair..waaaahhh...I'm so in love..

The stroller seat can be a carrier or car seat...I like...

I called up my husband (he's in Brunei)...he didn't agree at first because RM 450.00 is still not that cheap...he sounded like (honey...everything u see u also want to buy lah~~~...ahhahahah)....after a quite sometime I pujuk then he agreed...

This is the features I like about the stroller..

1. All-purpose carriage pram and pushchair
2. A pushchair which can go backwards or forward - This is very important features!! Yummy!
3. Suitable for newborn baby to 4 years old
4. Ergonomic Aluminium frame - Aluminium frame is lighter than a steel...of cos!
5. Telescopic handle
6. Seat recline 3-positions and foot-rest
7. Removable bar and Foot cover
8. Five point safety belts - Yeah...I like this.
9. Spacious basket for small things - All the susu and back pack...

Action Hero Helmet

Shopping List to Singapore... Ahaha.. Been dying to have these toy masks for ages..........

Shoes Cabinet Layout

I finally completed my cabinet layout. Above pic is not my unit. Just to give a clear picture (marked with blue oval) where I'm gonna put my shoes cabinet later.


A sketch to show view from the house gate.

This is how the cabinet will look like.

Isn't it sooooooooooooo cute??

I just bought this gorgeous and cute 'BARBAR' birds tray yesterday. It's funky and colorful!!! Only RM 26.00/pc. Ehehe.. Cute kan? I feel like bringing this tray to bed and sleep next to me..ahaha..

Owh by the way, me and husband finally bought the KALSTAD sofa. It will be delivered this Saturday. We have a longggggg task list for this weekend. First, to assemble the sofa.

I hope my husband can do this by himself. IKEA actually providing the assembly service and it will cost 5% from the price of the sofa which is too much for us. A BIG NO..

Secondly, is to construct my abandoned project - Remember the megahobby station for my husband? Now only I have the time and money to do it. Some more the PAX LOMEN door is way too expensive (RM 100++/pc) for me to start. Luckily, yesterday I found one in the AS IS section which is only cost me around RM 60.00. I bought also the silver GALANT Leg together with its frame and the total cost is less than RM 300.00. Yup..sounds expensive but you will never get a glossy desk countertop in IKEA. HELL NO..

Finally, is to start with my shoe cabinet project. Raya festive is around the corner and I don't want ppl coming to my house staring at my shoes rack and shows I'm having more shoes than my husband.... Haha..The contractor is coming this Saturday but I still haven't finish with the design. Will stay up late tomorrow and finish it.

Wish me LUCK!! Pheww...

Bed Tray - A Re-Production After 4 Years!

It is a tray with foldable legs and you can tuck it away after breakfast in bed. Uuuhhhhh....

But not just that..

During my studies in UTP, a lot of my friends have this tray and they used it to do assignment or studying on the bed. A light plastic,moderate durability, fun, cute, cool and practical for a lazy lady like me!Haha..

But I never got the chance to OWN one because it was running out of stock that time...

++4 years later++

So last week I went to IKEA and saw a bunch of trays were put near the entrance. Without thinking, I grabbed 3 nos of trays (RM 16.90/each) to give away to my lil sisters so they can study on bed whenever they felt bored studying on the desk...I hope they like my gift because we are all a bed lovers - just like me...we love do everything on bed! YEAY!

Cheap Bedroom Make-Over

My third bedroom really needed the most help, but I am nervous about what it would cost me later. I didn't have a particular color scheme in my mind right now but finally decided to set a budget for the furnitures, curtains and etcs. I have only RM 1000.00 allocated for the make over. Here's a sketch what I want to do with my third bedroom. Wish me Luck! Owh btw, I have my time frame until October 2009 due to specific reason. Hehe..

RM 59.00 - Round Mirror

RM 399.00 - Day Bed

RM 100.00 - Frames

RM 199.00 - Aneboda Wardrobe

RM 149.00 - Aneboda Wardrobe with shelves

RM 229.00 - Aneboda Wardrobe with 3 drawers

RM 80.00 - Rug

Total : RM 1215.00 <--- Alamak.excluding the curtain it looks like I'm a little bit off to my budget already. Maybe I need to reconsider the idea of having the rug, frames and round mirror in the bedroom. Or perhaps, I need to start looking for preloved IKEA to suit with my budgetary and room concept. Chaiyok!

Announcement

Okay I'm being told that many of you out there were trying to drop a comment to me but unable to do so. So when I checked back the comment setting and etc, it turned out that only bloggers are able to jote a comment in my blog. So sorry for the trouble I had caused you. Anyway, I changed the setting already. Happy viewing and have a pleasant day!

A Children Joke from Reader's Digest

I was reading the RD book while waiting for my SIL's car been service somewhere in Ampang. So what interest me the most is when I turned to one page about children's joke. Couldn't remember what section was it from but one of the joke has turned my long hour boredom (waiting for the car to complete) to cheer and laugh!

What I remembered that the jokes sound like this:

One of my 4 year old son has entered his first day in nursery and the teacher was asking his name. "Hello there, what is your name? " my son replied " Hi. I'm Spiderman". The teacher smiled at him and ask him one more time patiently " No, you real name please? "

My son looked closely to the teacher and said "Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Peter Parker".

Well we all know that Peter Parker = Spiderman.
I was laughing loudly in the car waiting room and showed it to my husband. He laughed too.
What an adorable answers that came out from the mouth of 4 years old boy! I'm luvin it!
