hi blog!
i've been so bz juggling between work n house chores,
i barely have time for myself.
tsk!

there were a lot of things going around for d past few weeks.
but i was so busy to record everything here.
alhamdulillah.
all marks have been keyed in.
but a few adjustments have to be made on d scoresheets.
biasela.lecturer sian kat anak murid.
tambah sikit markah kesian.

a few months before,
i was so stressed up with d mess in d house.
slalu rase nak nages tgok rumah sepah.
*aku jenis tak boleh tahan dok rumah sepah*
dah la kami tido depan tv kat living hall
[sebab takut tdo atas katil Zareef jatuh]
so everyday, d toto n pillows will b in front of tv.
bukak je rumah,
view huduh itu yg menjamu mate.
jiran lalu n budak delivery dominos slalu sgt da tgok pon.
T-T

last two weeks, on weekend...
i couldnt take it anymore.
so i revamped a few things!
1st skali tak bley da tido depan tv!
so i got an idea to push d bed to d wall.
apsal la mentol tak menyala awal-awal!
haihhhh.
so Zareef can sleep near d wall.
we dont hv to worry about him falling from d bed anymore.
wpon suspect ngandong,
gagah jugak tolak bed frame + mattress tuh.
then cuci segala sawang, habuk tok nenek.
alhamdulillah.
lega tgok master bedroom.
bilik pon jadi luas bila da squeeze everything at 1 side.

then masuk 2nd bedroom.
ayark!
almari kain tu da koyak rabak.
aku da lameeeee sgt nak beli almari baju tuk Zareef.
sejak Zareef dalam perot lg.
tp waktu tu duet mcm terbudget-budget.
pehtu tgok almari zaman bujang tu elok lagi.
so pakai la dulu.
as time passed by,
almari tu koyak rabak.
tggu mase je nak roboh.
+ Zareef yg suke main kat ctu..
punggah baju die...

so....
ptg tu trus ajak Z g kedai perabot.
i think that was d 2nd big purchase we made
[lepas beli perabot mase mula-mula kawen dulu]
i bought 1 bedroom set white color.
i like!
tp tamo dressing table sbb bilik tgah tu x luas mane pon.
so amek bed frame+mattress+wardrobe+two bookeshelves+chest drawer.
sume barang da selamat sampai except chest drawer tu.
chest drawer tu nak letak lingerie, brg-brg Z n shawls akuuu...
cepat la sampai!

wardrobe tu besar.
so selain letak baju Zareef,
mama x malu letak baju keje mama jugak.
rupenye baju aku adelah sgt banyak.
so amek lak 1 ari nak asingkan baju yg da tanak/out dated/ takkan pakai/ rosak.
dapat la 2 beg plastik sampah.
banyak kan.
mostly masih elok.
tp aku mmg takkan pakai.
so ingat nak bagi or sedekah je kat kg.
nak bg adik,
tp x same saiz la plk.
hihihi.

3rd room tu pon dibersihkan.
banyak gak bende dah dibuang.
tp lepas masukkan katil bujang,
bilik tu sempit.
n ade la ruang nak jalan n letak my novels.
jadilah.
yg banyak sangat tu adelah hadiah mase kawen.
banyak gile yg x bukak!

alhamdulillah.
skang umah da kemas.
Zareef mmg suke pungah-pungah.
tp atleast pintu bilik boleh tutup.
so die main kat certain area je.
n living hall pon kemas.
x de pening-pening nak angkat toto,pillows kalau ade org dtg umah.
haha.

cepat la chest drawer sampai.
baru la lebih kemas.
actually plan nak beli TV baru.
tp sbb aritu TERbeli sII n tab,
langsung lari budget.
haha.
nanti la.
ade rezki nak beli tv idaman itu.
n nak tempah langsir baru.
sbb langsir skang da koyak Zareef tarik.
n juge nak pasang wallpaper.
n nak tukar kipas n lampu.
planning...planning...
insyaAllah soon.
:)

oh ye.
sekarang sudah boleh tidor lena!

ye.da dpt idaman hati.wpon lebih murah dr butik kat cni...tp still 4angka.
so kene appreciate btol-btol hadiah ini.
:)

++ TaiWaN..ToUcH oUr hEaRt ++

oh.dah 3minggu dekat.
baru berkesempatan nak cite.
bukan wajibbul pon.
tp dah tua nanti kot da nyanyuk,
boleh baca kat cni!

so it was 8-day trip.
we went around d whole taiwan island.
kire singgah cni jap,
singgah sane jap.

at 1st i was a bit tak excited about d trip.
i worried too much about Zareef.
pasal makanan die,
takut die crancky,
takut die x cukuop tido,
n d list goes on.

tp masyaAllah.
i enjoyed d trip!
despite d fact agak penat sbb pusing 1 island,
tapi yg lain mmg enjoy.
Zareef ade la sgt baik.
sume org suke die.
in our trip ade 22org + 1 tourist guide + 1 tour leader.
sume fanatic kat Zareef.
dorang suke mate bulat die.
[macam mate mommy die kan!]

kirenye g mane-mane pon sume sebuk nak dukung,
ambil gambar die.
org taiwan, china, japan, korea....
suma dok kerumun dia.
da la rasa glamour sbb i'm d only one yg pakai tudung.
Zareef asyik posing la org ambil gambar, record video pasal dia.

ada 1 time,
an old couple from China
simply grabbed Zareef from me.
i was so surprised n panicked!
da la tak boleh berbahasa inggeris.
dok chong cheng,
ambil Zareef bawak lari kat tour group dia
T-T
seriously menakutkan.
dorg ckp Zareef comel.mata bulat.
ni pon chinese from tour group aku la yg translate.

oh yeap.
Taiwanese tak boleh berbahasa inggeris ye.
simple pon tak boleh.
kalau tanya how much,
dorg paham.
tapi ambil calculator nak btau harga!

tempat paling best adelah night market kat Taipei!
gila besttttt!
since dorg nak tukar musim,
so banyak barang yg dijual murah.
aku beli banyak gile tops.
kene tengok jugak la.
ade yg murah.
ade yg mahal.
mommy Zareef beli yg murah sajo.
hikhik.
souvenirs mahal kat sana.
keychain 6 rm20.
t-shirt yg ade signature taiwan sume rm30.
huh.

makanan adelah tade yg halal.
kecuali kalau g dekat masjid die.
kat taiwan ade 3,4 masjid je.
jadi kami makan kedai pure vege.
tak pon makan kat tempat yg dijamin tade pork.
sume bergantung kat tour guide la.
nasib tour guide sgt memahami.
sbb kami je melayu muslim.
tapi die akan pastikan setiap makan minum kami.
selebihnya adelah tawakal.
:)

oklah.
kat bawah ni gambar sepanjang kami d Taiwan.

itu saja.
nak cite details macam x larat je.
ni pon sambil update blog da bape kali pause.
jap-jap Zareef merengek.
jap-jap da tergolek.
hadui.
naseb la comel sgt!

x tau ape tu big bad wolf?
it's a book fair that sell books with d cheapest prices!
i didnt know that they r having this every year.
this year it is in maeps upm.
so my bff asked me to follow her.
initially i planned to buy 2-3 novels.
but i end up buying a dozen for me n 3 for Zareef!

adoiii la...
it's a heaven for novel lovers!
novels that cost u around rm35 at mph,
they sell at rm8!
sape tak meroyan kan!

i have all cecelia ahern's collections except
the gift n a book of tomorrow.

i'm planning to go there again before the fair ends this sunday!
nak borong 3,4,5 buah je lagi!
hahahaha...
buku budak sgtttttttttttttt banyak jugak!
tp for babies tak banyak choice.
utk yg da pandai bace ok la.
i bought Zareef two books yang ade sounds hantu n lampu2.
1 buku rm8 je.
rase kat luar mahu seratus.
another 1 with mirror.
Zareef sgt suke buku bunyi hantu.
terkekek-kekek die gelak!

when we first arrived,
it was kindda weird seeing everyone with a trolley.
some with boxes n bags.
i was like..biar betol org borong banyak camtu.
but seeing the books myself,
taca n i both carrying a box too!
hahaha.
taca ended up buying 25 books
i bought 15.
nanti tambah sikit lagi je kot n ayun pon nak kirim.

we were there for 3-4 hours.
i had class 5-6.
so terpakse g kelas dengar budak present kejap.
then sambung balik meroyan!
:p

it's a real bargain.
i love novels.
i love reading.
so x pernah rase bende ni membazir.
semalam da plan nak turn d 3rd room into stor+mini library.
boleh ke?
hahahaha.
nak beli book shelves so that i can bring all my novels kat kampung datang cni.

nanti i will capture d photos of my purchase.
ayun nak tengok!

for further information boleh visit here.

++tHanK u to U ++

alhamdulillah.
thanks pade kawan-kawan yg bg support bile aku cite pasal bf.
ade yg msg,ade yg pm kt fb,drop comments n all...
thanks sgt-sgt.

sbb aku tade join mane2 group breastfeed mommies.
just share dgn 3,4 org kwn-kwn yg same-same ade bb je...
so tade tempat mengadu..
thanks ye kawan yg prihatin!

alhamdulillah.
lepas 3,4 ari stop Yasmin,
susu dah kembali banyak.
tade la banyak sgt smpi melimpah ruah.
tp alhamdulillah,bekalan Zareef cukup.
dah 3+oz FM masuk dalam perot Zareef kat umah kak mas.
nak korek balik tak boleh.
tapi lepas ni boleh suh kak mas stop bg FM.
selagi susu mama cukup,Zareef minum susu mama je tau!

arini pegi sacc mall shah alam nak cari baju Zareef.
last month pegi ade 1 kedai [name dirahsiakn]
ade jual baju osh kosh yg agak murah.
bile tanye kat salesgirl,die kate original.
tp last month dtg x beli.
so tadi g dgn ayuni mektok nak beli la 3,4 helai.
harge memang murah la dari osh kosh d curve.
so aku cam peliks la.
mungkinkah reject kan.
sbb label kat belakang baju tu mcm ade conteng.
macam kat reject shop punye baju.
tanye sales girl,
die kate bukan reject.tp sbb ni bukan butik osh kosh,
jd dorg kene conteng label tu.
aku double triple pelik!

aku dok bising2 kat ayuni ni mcm baju reject.
salesgirl kat sebelah tu buat muke tak puas hati
n cakap ni bukan reject jugak.
then aku dok belek overall ni,
rupenye butang sebelah lain-lain.
tgok overall yg lain ok.
yg ni pulak butang pelik.
hahaha!
aku pon panggil salesgirl tu tanye.
die kate mmg mcmni fashion nye.
pehtu aku tunjuk overall lain yg button normal.
die terus bawak baju tu g stor!
huh.

then aku belek overall lain.
rupenye ade jahitan yg buruk.
amek lg 1 yg len,
overall len ade 4buttons,
yg ni ade 3 je!
huh nampak sgt setiap satu mmg ade cacat nye kan!
kan reject namenye tuh!
overall tu 59.90.
rase kat osh kosh dalam 79.90 kot.
so baik beli kat sane.
aku tak kesah sgt yg defect sikit2 o kat belah dlm.
sbb bukan org nampak kan.
tp masalahnye sampai sudah dok cakap bukan reject yg aku bengang tuh.
langsung tak beli pape.
nak g d curve cm dah lewat.
so len kali la g beli kat butik osh kosh sebenar.
bukan osh kIsh!hahaha.

masuk body shop tershopping plak barang mekup.
belanja ayuni 1.
aku beli 3.
tade dlm list pon nak beli makeup raye.
dasar shopaholic.
x dpt osk kosh g beli body shop pulak.

before balik singgah fabulous mom.
asalnye nak beli ni

++ LiTTLe 5 ++

alhamdulillah.
my boy turns 5 months young today.
weighing 7+ kg, he's able to roll over;
moving from 1 spot to another.
he seems understand when watching tv n when we talk to him.
he lovessss to scream!
yesterday when we were at d mall,
he screamed n played to himself in the stroller
n attracted so many eyes n hands to squeeze his cheeks!
n he has started his solid food!
tak sempat tunggu 6months.

Zareef membesar dgn cepat n sehat!
except tang rambut yg lambat no naiknye.
hahaha.

so for his 5th month birthday,
mama buys some treats for him.

1. boon squirt.since he has started his solid food,this item would be very beneficial. handy n practical.:)
2. clutch diaper from Snugggbaby. i really want a diaper cluth so that whenever we r going to malls, i can hang it on his stroller. inside d clutch we can put diapers, nappy rash cream, etc. it is very practical as we roll it open, it can be a perfect place to put ur baby on when changing his/her diaper. n d design is yummylicious!i love it!


i've been thinking to get a food jar to put Zareef's food. but since Zareef eats once a day only, it might not be that important now. but when he turns 6 next month, i should consider buying one of these:
i love the first one!
what's up with d pink stuffs?
i just love it. btw, these things r not going to be attached to Zareef's body.
mama yg akan guna.so x pela pink color kan!hihi.

yesterday bought him another rompers. red color. untuk raya nanti!tehee.
oh..we r going back to perak this weekend.
n on saturday we'll be in penang!
n first day of ramadhan will be in kampung.
can't wait!
:)

i think i need a wardrobe makeover.
i need to do some makeover.

i love shawls but having problems on styling them.
it was last time.
now i slowly learn to style my shawl.
not dat overwhelming like hanna tajima.
but i think it is ok for a start.
hihi.

then my taste on outfits r slowly changed.
i think it is d age matter and d FACT that i'm a mommy now.
i need to wear something practical for i need to breastfeed Zareef.
so there r a some favourite outfites that out of my league.
T-T

i fell in love with some gorgeous dresses that
can be worn together with cardigans or inners.
i saw 1 yesterday but was thinking whether i can pull it well or not.
i went back without buying it n dreaming of it!
haih..typical me.
i think i'm going to get 1.
tehee.
i think,being d petite me,
i can wear almost evertything.well,i think.

n i ordered a maxi skirt from dalzbutton [can checkout their fb]
it is custom made so basically it SHOULD fit us well.
still waiting for d delivery.

-gorgeous maxi-

n i had sent 2 baju raya for tailoring last week.
n purchased another 2 online.
2 purple,1 brown n 1 blue.
thinking of having 1 more red tp mcm z akan marah je.hihi.
bought online from Asylla collection.


pasni nak shop shawls,jeans,tops,wedges n handbag.
handbag tu kalu ade rezki la.
hihi.

baju raya zareef da start beli last week kat d curve.
maybe nak tambah sikit-sikit je lagi.
till here then.
mood raya is approaching!
tp puasa tak ganti lgi.
sehati je pon.
but my menstrual cycle macam gelong laa ni.

++ ZaReeF's sHoPpiNg DaY ++

so today we went out.the first plan was to get the milk storage bottles at fabulous mom puchong.since it was our 1st time, we missed d junction so we headed to ikea to eat meatballs.sadly ikea cafe is temporarily closed due to JAKIM inspection.[on halal status]...

we went to d curve to find any suitable fastfood restaurants when z insisted to lunch at popeyes in cineleisure.ok,follow the lead.hihi.while eating,z suddenly asked about the halal status of popeyes.n i said i dont't know.he looked around several times n said that there wasn't any halal logos around.we will check later either popeyes is a halal restaurant or not.

then we went to osh kosh b'gosh in d curve and shopped crazily over Zareef's outfits.the outlet is having a promotion where if we buy 2pieces,we can get another 1piece for free.so we bought several pieces for Zareef.the sizes are bigger as they are UK/US sizes.we also bought Zareef's first stimulating toy from mothercare.Lamaze Elephant which i think is quite expensive compared to Lamaze toys on on9 shops.i think is the quality.i dunno.i think.

nak melaram this coming weekend.nak g several kenduri.

before we went home,we stopped at fabulous mom in puchong.we bought 2dozens of milk storage bottles,fan for Zareef's stroller,hanging toys for stroller/rocker.

i don't buy plastic storage coz according to 1 research,the milk nutrients might left at the plastic.

hanging,stimulating toys for Zareef to grab/kick.

there u go, Zareef.all d best for u.

++ bB ZaReeF vS PaPa-MaMa ++

when u have a kid,
ur entire life is about him.
u'll always put him in priority.
n it seems that u don't have to make second thought
when spending money for him.

we went to ikea on thursday with my family. the main reason was the meatballs.haha. but my mum wanted to do some shopping so we followed along n bought a few stuffs for the house n zareef which cost z 100++.

on saturday nite,we went to giant.
buying some food stocks,home appliances,
n of cos zareef's stuffs which cost z 400 ++.

on sunday we went to littlewihz at setia alam. finally i bought medela mini electric! it comes with autumnz cooler bag,8 bottles storage n 3pcs icepack.

yehuuu!tak payah manual pumping yg cukup melenguhkan!
z bought car seat n the head support.
n i bought bumble bee dimple n pacifying pillow
n muchkin drying rack.
total up at littlewhiz cost both of us 1k ++ all for this little tot!huhu.

then we went to kl convention centre in klcc.
homedec was on.
it was really hard to find a parking spot.
bile dpt,
zareef pulak mengamuk nak tido.
haha.
we were in the car at the basement for 1hour!
bile zareef da btol-btol tido,
baru kami masuk.
after 3hours,
z paid deposit for wallpaper n curtains.
insyaAllah,soon enuff our house akn berwajah baru.
hehe.
*can't wait*

mama ada beberapa lagi wishlist utk complete kan barang zareef.

1.

2.




p dot s:: sekarang ni barang papa n mama da on d bottom of the list!huh.

++ oF mY dReaM sTRoLLeR ++

yes.i bought the stroller already.
at first i asked z to find d stroller in KL.
but after making a few phone calls,
the model that i want is out of stock for black color.
so i asked z to bank in to me so that i can try to find in ipoh.

oh,btw, i went to pantai pu3 today to take my family planning injection! he.he.he.

so i went to BeBe shop behind JJ.
they have the model but it is display stock.
i asked the promoter to explain the features n all.
the condition is excellent as they just put it up for display.
sumore the stroller comes together with the head support for the newborn.
i called z n asked him whether i should buy it or not.
after a short discussion,
i decided to take the stroller.
i cant wait for the shops in KL to restock for black color!
tehee.

n yes!
now bb Zareef has his own stroller!
alhamdulillah.
if u remember this n3,
i planned to buy SCR stroller before this.
but rezeki bb Zareef,
with extra budget,
he owns the Maclaren Techni XT 2010.

i tried to put him in the stroller.
but he seemed uncomfortable.
1st time kot.hehe.
anak mummy jgn ngade ye.
beli mahal ni!
