Currently on vacation~~~

Yes we're currently on 1-week vacation, my hubby and I, guess where? At Seri Bangi!!! Weeee~~~ hahaha

We're relaxing while Izma is on her familiarization phase at her new playschool, Brainy Bunch Islamic Montessari ;)
The truth is we took 1 week leave especially to send Izma to BBIM and to monitor her 'closely' while she is familiarizing herself to the new environment which is totally a very strange place for her. Strange mostly because it is filled with kids there and she's not used to that. All this while her life is revolving around adults all the time, the youngest being her Mak Su who is 19 years old...hehe

So that's why in these 2 days we had send her there, she stayed close to the aunts there and only watched the other kids play (so we were told by the teachers there - or 'aunts' called by the kids). Poor Izma she don't know how to mingle and play with her new friends ;( hopefully in time she'll find her ways to join them and get herself some BFFs ;p

By the way on second day of our vacation which is today I got some extra time (duhh ;p) to get my herbs and spices into small (free) jars and labeled them! These 2 days are really refreshing and give me some perspectives on being a SAHM or WAHM (I did check my mails just now ;p). And here's my cute little spice jars with their labels (so that I won't forget their names and really know what i put in my cookings in case somebody ask for the recipes ;pp).



They're cute jars right ;)

Got the jars from my second cousin's wedding as a wedding favor (with sweets inside) but I got only 4 of them and i still need extra jars for my bunga lawang (star anise??) and bunga cengkih (don't know??). And also if you notice i didn't put any label for kulit kayu manis a.k.a cinnamon coz you cannot not know what that thing is okkk ;p

So anyone of you getting married soon and will give these cute lil jars away as wedding favors to your guests? Invite me please!!! ;))

Of Izma & school

Izma already goes to school!!! To a playschool that is :)
We had officially moved to Bangi (finally ;p) and so Izma also has to officially goes to school as her Opah's home is already far far away and she already is a big big girl (cam xde kena mengena kan ;p).

To tell you the truth we've been dragging in finding and surveying all the nurseries/playschools available in Bangi for us to send Izma to once we moved because we really don't want to send her!!! And we know she also doesn't want to be left with anyone else who is not her Opah while we are at work...huhu but what to do sooner or later we still have to send her to school so it's better for her to get the idea as soon as now ;)

So how was she at school?
First day: sent her at 8am and fetched her at 11.30am (felt like infinity being at home without her ;(). She was crying when we arrived to fetch her. And according to the aunties there she was crying all the way since 8am except when they bathed her ;(

Second day: sent her at 7.30am and fetched her at 2pm. A lot of improvement. She cried but not for long. She stayed close to the aunts and just laughed watching the other kids play. She didn't have the guts to join them yet I guess.

Third day: that is today. Sent her at 7.30am and plan to fetch her at 5pm today! Waaa long way to go and this is one of my ways to kill time ;)) Ya Allah, please make my baby happy during her stay there..Aminn...



Sooo happy yesterday after we fetch her!

Sneak peek Seri Bangi

Hello peeps! As usual long time no see 😜. And i think this is the longest ever!!! What happened to me? I don't knowww!!! 😝
Well as an excuse, i was n still am busy moving into our new crib! As if it's not already very obvious in my title, just so u know, we're moving to Bangi!!!!! ✌ Taman Seri Bangi in Seksyen 8, Bandar Baru Bangi to be exact. Wow too much info. Sikit lagi u're gonna get my whole address 😜
And this marks the end of our 3-year nomad life as in always packing and unpacking every single weekend without fail! (well except when hubby is offshore la). My feelings: very very berry nervous to finally 'live on our own'. Always wondering how it'll feel like, how often do we go back to cheras and bangi (in-laws') after this (most probably every week ya 😉), opah n cu will be missing lil' izma (will they?), i hv to do my own laundry (all this while most of the time my mom would take care of this 👍), etc etc.
Put that aside, the biggest fear of all is actually to finally send Izma to a playschool, a very strange place for her and with all the strangerssss. Waaaa we're so scared n worried n nervous n don't want to send her!!!! Ok hover tauuu 😂 And to make it worse, hubby is more scarier, worrier, nervouser than i am and it certainly doesn't help!!!!! Waaaa and it's like 4 days away from today!!!! Waaaaa again!!!!
Ok maybe i'll post one special entry of Izma going to school soon! Eh eh anti climax sungguh 😝
Ok2 back to our title on top, this is about some sneak peak into our new crib ya, not into our fear or nervousness 😁
So here there are some pics that i have. Hubby has so much more ✌




Lights on!




Close up our dry kitchen




My new playground - the wet kitchen




The maid...eh the cute helpful Izma 👍




My new cool gadget in my playground area




The curtains, fan, sofa and lights
Ok that's all folks!

Izma Humaira is 2!!!

Huhuhu loooonnngggg time no write one. But this month must write something sempena birthday month of sweet lil' Izma Humaira :) Yeah her birthday was on 8 December but this super duper busy bee mama (tak tau busy buat mende punnn) was totally forgot about the existence of this blog (same goes for the other blog so no offense). It's not you bloggy, it's totally me, myself and I.

Nevertheless we didn't forget the birthday though so that's good right!!! And we didn't forget to celebrate!!! Although there was no official birthday party for her this year, we had celebrated with both families and that lucky girl got herself not one, not two, but THREE birthday cakes when she is only 2!!! Lucky you my cutie lil' pie ;)

I'm so lucky right mama?

-The birthday girl on 08/12/2011-

Ok2 now let us drool over the cakes shall we?

The first cake on 8th December:

From yours truly n hubby, bought at Isetan Supermarket. Choc banana cake with choc-dipped strawberries on top. One of the strawberries was gone right after I took this pic ;p

Upacara meniup lilin

Upacara memotong kek

The second cake was bought by her uwan at Bangi. Another upacara meniup lilin and memotong kek during the weekends. But sadly I forgot to took the picture of the beautiful cake. Hubby did take some pictures though. I'll get from him and upload the pics here (tapi tak janji tauuuu...maybe i'll do that next year...heyyy next year is just around the corner ya ;p)

Move to to the third cake also during the weekend. No upacara meniup lilin or memotong kek. Just mengambil gambar kek dan memakan kek...those cute cuppies are really yummylicious!!! Bought the cuppies from hubby's cousin who is a doctor but really good at baking cuppies and cakes. Dah2 byk ckp lak...jommmm tgk the pics...drooling~~~

Cute cuppies with Upin & Ipin theme requested by the birthday girl. Thanks to Kak Tini for the pretty and tasty cuppies :)

She was so excited when she saw her favorite character on the cuppies and demanded to eat them right away in the car...huhu terpaksa la ckp 'mkn kat umah wan ye nnt...dah dekat nak sampai dah ni..' (walaupun perjalanan masih jauh ;p)

'Saya suka! Saya suka!'

(ikut nada Mei Mei dlm Upin & Ipin)

And yes the cuppies are all yummy as they look. The cake is moist chocolate cake and the icing is butter cream, not so sweet, just nice :)

So that's all we have for our beloved daughter's birthday this year. Oh one more thing the birthday girl got herself some pressies as well. Two dresses from both opah and wan, a whiteboard set complete with numbers and alphabets magnets (tak tau name ape) from Pak Ngah and a pink tent with balls from mama & ayah :) But for now no space yet to set up the tent...hehehe wait until we move to new house la. For the time being she is excited to play with the 50 colourful balls all over the house....weee~~~

So happy second birthday sayang!!! We love u soooooo much!!! Semoga menjadi anak mama & ayah yang solehah...amin... ;)

 

Raya 2011

Raya Haji is just around the corner but here I am with full gedikness want to share a few (2 only) Raya Aidilfitri pics :)

First raya: We're blue double di double dye double di double dye double di double dye

Second raya: silverly grey, a gloomy birthday...

The first pic my debabness was covered a little bit by Izma as she sat on my lap. But second pic cannot hide it anymore...my defense: I was still preggy that time ;p

p/s: my tudung from Arzu, both exactly same design but different colours...last minute tudung hunting and so lazy to go to different shops ;p

preggy no more ;(( ~~~

"No farewell words are spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why..." - OurMiscarriage.com

Yes, sad...but true :(

Baru je update on my entry here about the good news. But suddenly now, i'm preggy no more...so saddd...huk...huk...huk...

But not to worry, i'm a bit ok now. Time heals i guess...so let me share this one of the sad journeys of my life...losing my baby at 11 weeks of pregnancy...it's hard, really really hard...

It's all started 1 day before raya (can u believe this? of all the time, my baby decided to leave us just before raya). So as u can imagine my raya and also my birthday which happened to fall during raya this year were a bit gloomy as I carry around my dead baby inside. I was bleeding 1 day before raya, just a few drops of blood. At first I was not that worried because few days before I had brown discharge and I thought maybe this is normal for pregger to have some discharge every now and then. However when I saw fresh red blood, I decided to share this with my hubby. He freaked out and asked me to get dressed and go to nearby clinic. So just to calm him, I just follow the lead. All the clinics near my house were closed because of the raya week so I told him well, maybe it's nothing and maybe it's normal. So we decided to relax and just wait and see later. But on the way back we passed by Columbia Asia Hospital which was just opened in front of Jusco Cheras Selatan so I said to my hubby, lets' just check if they have any gynae there today.

And so we went there and check for available gynae. And they do have a Chinese lady gynae that day (Dr Lim). We were lucky! So I just arranged for a walk-in check up and after 2 patients I was in. After briefing her on my conditions, we went through the ultrasound. That was the time my raya mood all gone. From the ultrasound she found out that my sac shape was abnormal, it was crooked, not in round shape as it should be. And also my baby was really small, size of a 6-week baby when I was 10 weeks pregnant and the saddest part was that she couldn't detect the heartbeat. She asked if I was certain on my last period date. I mentioned to her yes, it's confirmed and told her that I had an ultrasound scan on fifth week and the doc had detected my baby's heartbeat. Had knowing this, she mentioned that it was almost confirmed that I just had a miscarriage :( To make me feel a bit better since the next day is raya already, she gave me Duphaston for 4 days consumption and asked me to return on Friday for confirmation and perform D&C (dilation and curettage) right away if it's confirmed.

On Friday we went to PCMC instead ;p (because we want to have a free D&C and it's easier to arrange in PCMC as I have my previous pregnancy record there). Dr Seri was not around (of course!!!! it's still raya week ;p) so I went to see Dr Paul Tay. We had another ultrasound and the findings were the same as the previous ultrasound except this time my sac shape looked more normal (maybe due to Duphaston consumption). My baby size was still 6-week size so Dr Paul mentioned that it's confirmed I had a miscarriage and asked if I want to deliver the foetus normally of to perform D&C. I don't think I can wait for the foetus to come out naturally, as in wait for my water to break, having contractions and deliver like delivering a normal baby...huhu. It was enough for me had to carry the foetus inside me for 4 days knowing that my baby had died :(( So I opted for the D&C right away. Dr Paul arrange for the operation theater for the next morning as I need to fast for 6-8 hours before the procedure.

And so I had delivered and separated with my baby on Saturday, 3rd September 2011, definitely a date to remember. I want to share a lot of things that I learnt about miscarriage but I just couldn't yet now. Writing this already made me sad and want to cry (and I'm currently at Big Apple Donuts cafe now so definitely no drama allowed please ;p) so will save it for the next entry (I hope ;p)
