Update gaya malas

Ajis is now 6 months!

Perut seksi

Can guling2 at last!
Boleh mengesot ke kiri kanan to see people around him.
Makan dengan jayanye. I think he is ready for bubur and biscuits next, instead of all those purees.
Can recognize people, tapi don't mind people picking him up. Peramah orangnye.
Can say 'mamamamamama'. Try to ask him to add 'mi' to no avail. I am not a mama person Ajis!
Macam ade gigi, tapi tak berjaya lagi tengok giginye. Die tepis our hand away, even when he is sleeping.


The cats
Kurang sikit selsemanye sesekor. Especially Kurap yang asyik bersin mengeluarkan hingus hijau.
Few days back I forgot to buy their wet food. Usually twice a day I'll give them the wet food on top of kibbles a bit. So when none is left, I bagi cat treats. Tetiga ekor tu bolayan. Kurap datang sniffs and look at me with a disgusted look in her face. Rupa macam aku bagi taik ayam je gayanye. Poyo sangat kekucing aku ni.

Work
Hectic. Penat. Neverending. Tolonglah habis cepat.

Me
Tah la weh. Sibuk main candy crush saga ni to think of what is bothering me. Distractions, distractions.

Ape tuuuu

Tu la mainan busuk Kurap.  Sejak 2 menjak kena discourage tidur bilik ni die selalu miau2 depan pintu mintak masuk. Kenkadang kesian bagi la kejab.

Sometimes she came bearing gift. Memula ingatkan die bawak mainan die naik untuk main. Tapi mesti letak masuk depan pintu. Bukak pintu je melulu masuk abaikan mainan terus. After dah banyak kali berlaku baru paham die bagi gift a.k.a rasuah la untuk masuk bilik. So she gave me this so she expects me to open the room for her. Sweet sangat montelism kurap ni.

Kenkadang pagi2 I bangun the mainan ade depan pintu. And I found her sleeping kat tangga tepi bilik. Kesian. That usually means she had mewed and I tak dengar ler tu.

Ini adalah antara sebab I berat hati nak ikut husband transfer. Kurap have to go with me too because I think she will be brokenhearted if left with somebody else.

Pft

Whatttt.. they are not impressed at the rates I am solving defects?

Of course. Because they have around 4 5 people doing tests, while I am along responding inane emails, CRs, reading documents (which they dont read and expect me to answer all questing), while solving defects and replicating and taking screenshots.

Pbthhh..

I hate people. I nak jadi housewife la gini!

Penatttt

Everyday penattt. 

I think I may need to buy FM for Ajis. Can't keep up with pumping and try to pump in the middle of the night still tak cukup. The thing is during office hour I can only pump at 12. Then another session bile otw balik keje. I don't have any time to do much else during office hour woo. Penat. At the very least I got him to only BM for the first 6 mths. Well, Ajis tak sampai 6 bulan la lagi tapi seminggu je lagi. 

Then bile husband balik la macam2 mende rosak, my usb player tadek sound. Astro saiko. Roof leaking. Gollywolly found a way to get out. 

USB player tu takleh buat ape la. Tengok most of series dekat computer, Astro tu kena tepuk bile die buat perangai, roof dah ok. The grill still needed for me to add the wire mesh ke ape tah tu, tak beli lagi. Litterbox kucing pon I cleaned in the middle of the night. Semua mende buat tgh malam la. Huhu. Now I totally get why so many opt to be a housewife. While things may not get much easier, but it must lessen the workload and stress line a bit. 

Kurap tengah pengsan depan mata. So kiut my kitteh ni, all the cats tengah selsema. Kurap bile bersin, bersin hingus hijau ok. Kesiannn. I try to pasang humidifier with vicks, tapi tak working pon. Dah la semua ni jenis payah gile makan ubat. Kenkadang rase nak je jentik sesekor bile taknak makan ubat tu. Geram. Dah la sakit. Degil lak tu. Pastu kite lak cedera. I bought a pill popper tu. tapi cam konpius lak camne nak guna. Sebab selalunye nak kena ade dua tangan bukak mulut kucing, while 2 jari tu pegang pil. Ni mcm kena bukak mulut 1 tangan je. Hurmmmphhh.... 

Ohh I had also change my skin care from Simple to Neutrogena. Had been using Simple since tah bile... tapi sejak 2 menjak dah makin meningkat usia ni... EHEM, I think I may need something milder sebab it make my skin so dry. So now I am using Neutrogena, been using the ageless ape tah Neutrogena but then couldnt find it. It was ok, smell amazing. Now bought another one, sekarang ni ok. Neutrogena ni setakat ni very nice, does not make my skin oily, nor dry and skin rase supple and bouncy. Cuma yang tak best ni is the smell. Bau macam paint. Ade macam hint of soy and some other chemical thingies punye bau. Bole gag. If I was using it masa pregnant memang kena buang. 

Ahh dah habis pumping. Nak tido.   

5 months sudahh

Wahh... I had been so busy. Ade sekali tu sampai cam bergenang2 air mata sebab stress sangat. Kerja lagi and Ajis being more fussier than possible! Sekarang ni die akan tidur bebetul nyenyak pukul 11.30. And he slept all the way till 6 am for his morning susu. Then bangun lagi around 8 am.

While at night he is a sound sleeper, he is a crybaby the other half of the time. Constantly nak berdukung. Sometimes I let him be and he will be angry and he will be cry shouting. If your baby does the same you probably understand what I mean by cry shouting. Last weekend I lock the room and carry the baby monitor, as I was busy scooping out taik kucing, didnt hear my baby crying, by the time I dengar die dah melalak tahap bunyi macam budak kena dera. Naseb baik I simpan the kunci bilik somewhere around nearby. Sekali terbangun jeeeee. He likes to sleep bawah ketiak mommy. So if he wakes up and no mommy around, memang waterworks plus vocalization laa.

Anyway masihhh tidak berguling. Everyone else is stressing out. Except moi. Haha. Eh banyak la lagi mende dalam my day to day untuk aku stressed out. Paeds cakap ok je. Die memang malas. So let him be la. Kalau dah setahun tu layak la kut aku stress out.

You know I missed my time alone at home. It was me and the kitties. I have all the time in the world. Sekarang my time is only 11 pm until what time I think I should sleep before being fully awaken again at 8 am tomorrow. My maid? Tak payah la. She scooped out the litterbox tapi sebab I am a thorough person, I will do it again every night to make sure the pee got scoop out too. Scooping out pee from a litterbox memerlukan skill ok. You have to know exactly how to korek it and shake it so it wont fall back to the box in a smelly ammonia inducing mess. If I missed out a night mesti esok litterbox tu akan disaster. The kitties wont like it.

Menunggu dengan penuh eksaited untuk makan

Oh and I already start Ajis on solid. He likes it. Intro him to basic rice cereal first. 2 minggu gak la rice cereal. Seminggu sehari sekali dulu, then now baru ade petang makan sekali. Breakfast tak lagi. Lambat sikit la breakfast, maybe when he is 6 months. So now slowly I introduced him to vege and fruit puree.  selang selikan la the vege and fruit. First vege was sweet peas which he likes. Tapi yang siksa adalah mak die duk shell sweet peas tu. Then mak die baru teringat mak die ade maid kenapa tak pergunakan. D'oh. Then I introduce him to sweet apples puree. He likes it. I think after this it is probably sweet potato puree and pear purees. Nak kena beli bekas ice cube kat Giant je. Giant got those instead of a double row, a single row of ice cube punye bekas with cover. I need to buy 2 more so I can store more stuff.

Though I did risau a bit bile die tak berak for 2 days, so I lessen his rice cereal and increase the fruit purees. And bagi di probiotic. The next day die berak. So yeah, lessen the rice cereal and oat cereal once in a while I would think. 

Icky greenish stuffs tu is sweet peas. Surprisingly  sweet and mild and creamy. And I blend it without milk ok. I dont understand why people said baby food is icky. Sodap je. 

I bought the Phillips Avent yang boleh steam and blend tu. Senang tu prepare his food. Setakat ni okla. Memang easy peasy. Bought it at Jusco, ade discount so dapat la RM300++. Cuma drawback nye I think it is quite small la. Ah well.

Gollywolly tengah sibuk check ade ape tak untuk die.

Apart from the starting solids. Well he is starting to get to know his mommy. Crying when I left for work. Sometimes la. Most of the time, he is having the time of his life with his cousins. And walaupon tak reti golek, tapi bile he is on top me he can golek sampai hujang kaki, lepas tu gelak2. 

Penat. Am now pumping because my stok susu is really merundum. Maybe because I am tired and all stressed out from this project. Yeah. Dont get me started on work. Anyway. Later. Banyak je things to update. Ade masa ke tak je now. Hehe. 

Happy ending

Jumpa dah makhluk ni!

Semalam bile bangun rase susah hati sgt la bile tak jumpa die. Risau. Sambil tu dah sibuk nak cari kucing lain. Cewah. Sentap hati Bobby kalau die tahu aku nak pi cari pengganti. Bukan apee.. gollywolly tu kalau tinggal seskor mula la menyanyi satu rumah. Kalau terkunci die dalam bilik sensorang bising ya amat. Kalau ade teman die happy je. Kurap tu bukan peneman ye.

Anywayy.. semalam lepas mandikan2 Ajis nekad la gue mencari Bobby lagi. Hari Ahad kan. Weekdays dah payah dah. So dukung la kenit tu pegi jenjalan area taman perumahan sambil panggil "Bobbyyyy...". Macam2 kucing la yg bertuan dtg menjenguk. Ade tu tengah duk panggil sekor duk nyahut. Tengok2 ade kucing yg rupa cam bobby dalam cage kat luar rumah orang. Wahh.. hati dah happy dah wehhh. Sekali gi dekat sikit kat luar pagar. Lain laa. Die punyer marking grey tu banyak lagj dari Bobby. Dah bersedihan tepi rumah orang tu. Sedih bukan Bobby satu. Satu lagi sedih sebab tengok kucing tu miau sayu jee dari cage ke arah rumah mintak orang buka cage. Kalian kalau bela kucing, tolong la jangan letak kucing dalam cage lelama ok. Kesian taw. Lagi2 cage ke kecik.

Then sedih2 tu continue jalan panggil Bobby lagi. Ajis rilek je. Dah start panas tapi banyak kawasan teduh leh jalan. Ajis tu asalkan berdukung berjalan memang suke je. Tak kisah la bawak ke mana. Mana tak lambat benar nak bergulingnye anak oi.

Jalan depan lagi tetiba nampak Bobby tepi jalan! Wahh.. happy woo. Pantang je dukung budak. Kalau tak dah berlari dah. Bole pulak orang panggil die buat bodo je. So bile dah dekat sikit, aku duk tepuk2 sikit jalan tu. Sebab kalau kat rumah nak panggil die ke kite, selalu duk tepuk2 sofa. Baru die datang miau2. Sibuk la die before ni duk menghidu2 pokok kat depan rumah orang. So panggil die suh jalan tepi so I can lead him back la. Adala jalan tepi dalam 20 30 tapak pastu distracted tengok ape tah die nak gi arah lain pulak. ADHD betul. Last2 angkat die sebelah tangan sambil dukung ajis . Org2 lalu lalang naik motor tgk je pompuan ni duk pegang kucing sebelah budak sebelah.

Bawak die balik dah ade welcoming committee dah. Tapi sebab 2 hari hilang so mesti la ade bergelut dengan kucing memana, betina2 rumah tu duk hissing lepas bau. Dah lap sikit dengan pet wipes baru ok. Bobby ok je. Telinga sedikit robek. Sampai rumah terus cari makan n minum then terbongkang sepanjang hari sampai ke malam. Kesian.

Tak jauh pon jumpa die. Kat jalan belakang rumah. Tapi mungkin gak before this die kat tah memana sebab dah lalu situ 2 3 kali before cari die. Nasib baik jumpa la kan. Tapi rasenye kalau tak jumpa pon Insya Allah die dapat cari jalan. Cuma lambat sikit. Takut kena baham anjing or dilanggar je la in that time.

Bobby Hilang

Takde mood nak cerita lebih cuma harap die balik la intact and sihat. He had been gone since Friday, pagi. Ni Sat mlm maseh tadek walau dah cari merata.

Tiny tot went to Bintulu

Update basi ni, balik Bintulu ni dah 3 minggu lepas kut.

We started out first on Ajis first flight. 

It was terrible. LOL. Ajis ni memang ada masalah nak tidur tengahhari and flight tengahhari is kinda disaster. Masa takeoff it was ok enough I gave him bottle, and he slept around an hour. Sempat la I makan dulu. Habis je makannn.. terus bangun, and seeing there is not much space, he was cranky afterwards. So husband brought him back and forth the plane, then there was turbulence and he was cranky at the back of the plane since he was stuck there. 

So the stewardess took turn in holding him because my son dont like guys holding him. LOL. During touchdown, I can hear him crying and can't do much about it because have to be strapped in... Sebab tu la bile keluar plane je cuak tengok Ajis muka naik macam ruam2 merah sebab he cried so much. Kesian baby. 

Naik merahhhh

The next plane ride going back to KL I was much more prepared. The plane is also not full so we got an entire row for ourselves which make it easier for me to breastfeed him ( Ajis tak suke breastfeed tempat sempit2. I think because I am uncomfortable, so he is uncomfortable too) . And I asked husband to not walk him back and forth because once that start, he will cry if we sit down. So I entertain with all sort of sounds and songs since we are not sitting so close to other people to irritate the hell out of them. Entertain la die, sampai mummy die naik motion sickness. Naseb baik tak muntah je. So bile balik tu tadekla die nangis sangat, start nangis je mummy tuka lagu, games puting. Fuhhhhhh.. penat la I tell you. Dalam kepala... wahh ini baru 2 jam lebih. Cuba kalau 8 jam plane ride. Maw aku suruh plane stop aku balik naik kapal dengan Ajis. 

So that is his first plane ride. I am hoping the next subsequent rides will be much easier since he will be older. Aminnn. 

The family at Bintulu was overjoyed seeing him. Suka benar main-main with him. He laughed most of the time, and cried half the time sebab nak tidur buai. But during that time also I know how to put him to sleep without buai, cuma kena sentiasa have to be beside him je if tidur tengahhari. Banyak benar la peelnye. 

The akikah went on splendidly. Beramai2 la sedara mara gathered to cook the one lembu they felled. Bukan lembu sekor untuk Ajis, this akikah also is for his cousins mousins kat Bintulu tu. Share2 terus. Time akikah tu baik je. Fuhhh. He slept while the nenek2 was holding him up and down, and halfway through the  majlis he slept so that only mean he wakes up happy.

Balut dengan songket

Tu tidurrrr... ye tidur berputing . Macam2 la kan. Berbuai, berputing. Asalkan happy la anak. 

We didnt stay long at Bintulu, I dont have much holiday left and work was piling up. So few days je spent there. Ajis like Bintulu well enough, especially during bathtime. Amboi suke betul mandi kat sana, air sana sedap kut...

Eh, panas la pulak update ni (blogger ni tengah kepanasan depan computer, nak berbaringan). Nanti update lagi. Wah wah.

Super quick reviews

Ever since the baby arrival, it is super hard to find the time to bathe much less reading books 0_0 . But I manage some. I think there is more, but this is the one I remember finishing. I am still not being able to finish Bourne Supremacy, not sure if I could, and with my harried state nowadays I dont think so I am in the mood of a serious or action packed books. But I will try to finish it somehow, if I can find the book. Don't know where I misplaced it.

Anyhow below are for the 3 that I recently read.


The Moonlit Cage: A Novel by Linda Holeman

A woman life in mid 19th century Afghanistan, troubled from the start until she met a white man. (Of course) 

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Reading at first, I want to rate it a 4, then halfway through it became a 3, towards the ending, I was so disgusted with the book I wanna give it a 1, but change it to 2 because I like it enough at the beginning.

The author started beautifully then she somehow feel like changing her mind and gave the beautiful, complex strong heroine a weird character that make me feels like punching her on the face. Ah well.








Just as Long as We're Together by Judy Blume

Stephanie’s best friend is Rachel. Since second grade they’ve shared everything, good and bad. Now, as they start seventh grade, Stephanie meets Alison, who has just moved to their neighborhood. Stephanie hopes all three of them can be best friends, because she really likes Alison. But is it possible to have two best friends? Or is it true that two’s company, three’s a crowd?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my 2nd or 3rd book of Judy Blume. While the other books I read, I like it well enough, I really like this one. I couldnt stop reading.

It captured perfectly the inner struggle of a tween girl struggling with hormones and best friends and changes in family dynamic. The book is lighthearted but if I ever have a daughter, this is one of a few books I will give her to read when she is a tween herself.





Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett


In the eleventh Discworld novel, Death is missing – presumed . . . er . . . gone.

Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn. 
Meanwhile, on a little farm far, far away, a tall dark stranger is turning out to be really good with a scythe. There’s a harvest to be gathered in.


My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I recognized that Terry Pratchett is a genius amongst many. Many favorite authors. This is my 2nd book that I had read written by him and while I am entertained and find it ok, I have to push myself to finish the book.

However I am only tickled on the part of Death. The other parts in the book I am meh. So am giving it a 3, love the style of writings, but story telling wise, not for me.

Or maybe I just don't read Discworld.

Big Bad Wolf Books Part Deux - 2012

Went there during last Tuesday, time birthday Sultan Selangor as I took a leave on that day. Big mistake. I thought there is no public holiday on that day! So the crowd that day was quite... crowdy (hihi.. 2 am writing this, my vocab is like shit at this hour). Bahh. Tapi its not really a loss as I am mostly there to take away the kiddies and let my mom and my sister shopped. Also I have Ajis in my hands, so tadek masa sangat to pick books. And in the middle of the hall he was cranky to be fed, so memang la got no time. 

Tadek masa pon I still manage to pick one or two and a few for my niece (not pictured). The rest my husband picked, especially the True Blood series because he known I was looking for them. 

Eh.. .. not bad for around an hour trip kan. And I was not shopping either. 

Oh I am glad that the BBW organizer ade a play area for the kids. Really great. RM10 per hour and RM5 subsequent half an hour I think, max RM30. My nephews love it. And I saw that the people manning the play area is really great with kids too. Kudos for the organizers. 

Well then, am out. Just updating my purchase. Dont think so am going again. Buku tahun lepas pon havent read them yet. Though am a bit tension I didnt purchase for the Red Readerhood charity thingies too, because when I went there last time. I got no cash.

Izinkan saya merapu

- Am listenng to Game of Thrones soundtrack. I love soundtrack. I especially love this soundtrack. Other soundtracks I love Bridget Jones, Romeo & Juliet (yg Leo & Claire Danes punye itu), Titanic ( Of course!) and The Last of the Mohicans. Best woo listening to soundtrack. 

- Am horribly busy. Which is why I blog. Obviously

- Am wearing my Mulberry today. Alang2 nak pegi Tamarind Hill for team dinner, I bawak beg bersesuaian. Cewah. 

Untuk Dila: Beg Mulberry yang diletak unceremoniously je atas meja lagi sikit nak kena coke. Nanti amik gamba posing dengan beg... kalau sempat. Righttt... LOL. 

- Sangat tempted nak beli breadmaker Kenwood. I love breads. My family love bread, and why not make own bread!

-  I honestly think I have a mild case of Number Dyslexia. Am ok with words, but horrible with numbers. I had been in trouble several time because when I changed coding for defects, I need to put in the defect number as reference. If I am not careful, I always mixed up the number. e.g. 14531, I will put it in as 14351 so nanti bile cari balik the defect orang akan emo with me because they cant find the defect description. So aku kena terbalikkan2 nombor tu untuk get the correct reference -_-" . This is the same with bill. I HATE long reference number. I always have to triple check, because most of the time I got the sequencing wrong the first time. Or I might just have terrible memory. But like some teacher noticed, I have photographic memory (which is diminishing by the years. Banyak dosaaa! ), but I can't seem to get numbers correct. So yeah, paying bills to me is a chore and take a long time. Sebab I always need to triple check. Dan kena calm and without interruption so I bole concentrate typing number!

- Husband brought Kurap to the vet for her yearly vaccination shot. Sebab I can't be there, I asked him to take a video for me. Tadek ape2 yang pelik. Only Kurap meowing je. Kurap memang bising at vet. Bobby pulak suke lari sikit-sikit. Tengok2 dah kat hujung table ready nak terjun. Gollywolly setakat ni tak dapat predict lagi. Yang paling baik at vet is Puteh :(

Sambung buat kejeeeeeee

Big Bad Wolf Sales 2012

Well then, got meself a preview pass again. Yeay!

This time it is held currently at the Mines and manage to haul my husband along to carry my loads. So I went today! Yeay!

As it is still the preview pass, there is not much crowds, but there was still quite a lot of people. Cuba bayangkan kalau time sale tu nanti. 

The books are LOADSSS. Depending on whom (which authors) you like la. I didn't find a lot of Young Adult authors that I like, (kalau ade pon I already got), but there is still quite a selection for everybody. I didn't find any Twilight books this time though. Noooo, it is not for me, but my friend pesan. So I have to disappoint her. 

A lot of cooking books, the travel sections don't look too varied, but I may have not been looking hard enough, and I couldn't find the CDs that they posted they had. Maybe tak keluarkan lagi kut, tapi I dah penat to look sana sini pon. 

But for everything else... there is a lot. A lot Ludlum, all the usual chic lits, Laura Weisberger, Jane Green, Madeline Wickham/Sophie Kinsella.... I helped myself to quite a lot of chic lit. Didnt hunt for serious books this time. Only glanced at the Non Fiction one, except for Parent and Kiddies section, so I can't say what you want maybe there. A lot of Nigella books, her fans would be delighted. 

Oh the graphic novels selection would thrill a lot of superheroes (X Men, Spiderman, Ironman, Thor ... those are the most of it) fan. Lots of Marvel. Not a lot of graphic novel that I like, so I bought only one. The kiddies section are massive. In my experience, the kiddie books go out fast. So I think when I go there the second time, a lot of the popular Disney and Pixar books will be gone. Which is why I grabbed some for my nephews. 

Now... finished with all my wordiness above. My haul this year. 

I am thrilled the Wolf have this. These books cost a bomb in bookstores. 

Ok tipu, I have 2 graphic novel. Yang tetengah tu comic collection. 

CATZ! *no added words necessary*

Both husband and I agreed on this book. Berat wehh..

Nope.. that is not all.. meh I tambah lagi gamba di bawah ini...

Express housekeeping! For the clueless like moi!

Buku resepi dalam BM! RM 2 and RM3 je wehh.

I think I already have some of this...

Baking wares pon ade wehhh. RM10 je yang muffin tu... Murah wehhhh

Belom habis lagi. Ade lagiii.. ade...

The complete set of Malory Towers!  Ko ingat senang ke nak jumpa niiii. Kat MPH jual  box set ade 5 je. Macam mana ko boleh jual box set tak complete niiii. Buku ni dah la dah berzaman

My books! All minee!

Dan last but not least, sebab dah ade Ajis in our life.

Children's book. Terbeliak mata Ajis tengok buku Colours tu. Kaler die terang benderang. Actually not all of the children book in the above pic tu Ajis punye. A lot of it are for my nephews and nieces. Ajis punye buku, ade 4. Yang The Incredibles tu buku Mummy die. Haha.

Oklah. Gonna do other stuffs. Had fun at the sales, got to shop till trolley gotten heavy to lug around. Maybe I'll go again this Tuesday tapi bringing along my Mom and nephews and nieces, so I doubt I'll be doing much shopping on my own. Ye la tuu..

Oh... the damage. RM500++. Gulp. Kthxbai.

I shop and shop and shop

I think it is frightening how much I shop this weekend. Aku tak amik gamba la my damage, because I always forgot to take, 

Kite start dengan Mom Expo at Midvalley. 

- I went 2 times! Lunch hour sekali for a quick look and a quick buy, second time to buy MamyPoko because lunchhour the queue is turrible. 

- Damage - 4 baju for Ajis ( totally acceptable, Ajis dah besa, baju dah sendat ), thermos flask for travelling, food container, detergent, 2 cloth books and 2 MamyPoko. 

- Then went Amcorp Mall on Saturday sebab nak amik preview pass BBW *insert big wolfy smile here*. 

- Damage - 1 baby book for Ajis, 1 baju India cotton style tu for moi, puting for Ajis sebab Ajis melahau mummy kepala weng tinggalkan puting die. Hahaha. 

- We tried to go to PWTC sabtu malam tu, tapi jam walauwehhh... parking penuh, then hujan pulak tu, Ajis tidur. Kesian la pulak. So husband cakap tak payah la.

- Sunday morning , I pujuk husband through Ajis to go to PWTC this morning. Sampai sana baru perasan rupanyeee perhimpunan UMNO tu habis on 1st Dec, gueh ingatkan 2nd Dec. Dah cuak dah ingatkan gerai2 jualan ni dah tutup laa, tapi still bukak lagi, tak semua bukak, tapi more than enough la to do some damage to the wallet. 

- Bought 10 tudung yg RM5, tudung warna warni itu. Bought 40 kain ( Bukan semuanye untuk akuuu, nak bawak balik Bintulu ni...), husband bought baju cotton batik, I bought kain batik warna hitam ( I like ) which cost me only RM220 which is my budget. Tak kose aku nak mahal sangat.. The woman selling me the batik told me I am lucky to come at the last day, as people just want to get rid of stuff, so jual murah. Ini bukan luck. I memang nak datang last day sebab mahu murah. Tapi I tak cakap laa, hehe. Tanak revealkan my cheapskateness. 

- Husband bought me my first Mulberry! Fiiwitt. Matik laa. Adakah lepas ni aku akan terjerumus dengan aktiviti2 salivating after expensive handbag dan mengeluarkan duit bonus untuk handbag? 

Husband mentioned it is kinda scary on how ape ekk,.. my appetite for shopping seems unquenchable. Aku rase masa pregnant tu aku duk postpone2 nak shopping, tadek mood la bagai, tetiba lepas dah naik keje ni,, macam wahhh.. ini mahu, itu mahu. 

Pengsan. Tetiba aku cuak nak check kredit kad. Gah

Random Stuffs

- I am drinking this nursing tea ni. Ala tea yang penuh dengan fenugreek dan tah hape rempah ratus to increase milk production. I rase la macam berkurangan, so before this I bought the Milkmaid Tea yang highly recommended, tapi tu kat rumah je. So at the office ni I bought Joy tea. Now I know why Milkmaid Tea is highly recommended walaupon expensive (RM40++ for I think 10 satchets. Ke 8 Aku reuse and reuse sampai dah tadek rase dah satchet tu baru buang. Haiii... saya kedekut ). I love Milkmaid Tea punye taste and smell. Very soothing. Not unlike usual herbal tea. This Joy one is HORRIBLE. It felt like I bancuh rempah kari instead. I put loads of honey in it, which only made it worse. Bahh. I think I will be sticking with the Milkmaid Tea. However I still got 4 more bag of the vile tea left. It is not in my kedekut nature to waste it, thus I must drink it. 

- This Saturday husband is home. This meannn, I can go out shopping with Ajis during the weekend! Without much hassle! We'll be going to Bintulu for Ajis to see his grandfather and grandma soon. Rase gundah gulana pikirkan how to survive with a 4 mth old baby on a 2 ++ hrs flight. 

- I had been trimming my series watch. Need to be picky. I no longer care to watch Nikita ( is it still on?), and 90210. Also I left out Parenthood, but I like to marathon Parenthood, so maybe I left it sampai end of the season then watch at one go. Senang. Walking Dead pon dah malas after the sucky FARM stories in season 2. I much rather just stick reading the graphic novel. Much more satisfying and less angsty. Andrea is so much more cooler in written/drawing form than in the series. So does Michonne. I am very very glad that Gossip Girl and Fringe is ending this season too. I dont like the Observer story. And Gossip Girl, you just wanna finish it. It is getting ridiculous by the day, but hey, it had always been ridiculous. 

My favorite new show now is Emily Owens M.D. Love Mamie Gummer. The Mindy Project is ok too, but ..hmm what can I say, I felt like it is a poorer version of New Girl. Also added 666 Park Avenue to my series list. It is ok enough. Not too fucked up like American Horror Story so I can watch it and just be mildly scared and not at all turn off. And of course my favorite show will always be The Good Wife. I love it. Husband mention I should watch Suit, I tried to, but I feel like I much prefer The Good Wife court room and political drama. 

- Hari isnin adalah hari yang sangat mengantuk. Sekian.

30

Akhirnya 30. Cewah. Macam tertunggu-tunggu pulak. 

Surprisingly it is not that depressing. 30 is still young, but not naive. That is what I thought of 30++ people. There's nothing much I can say about today. I turned 30, big whoop. ( Am currently rewatching a lot of Sex and the City at the moment, so I maybe quoting a lot from that series). After all Sex and the City characters, I think all of the characters start their story there when 31 or 32 kan. 

Husband tried to call me yesterday at midnight but I was busy also Ajis was sleeping. I am not too keen on people calling me nowadays. I prefer all contacts go through Whatsapp. Hahaha. Aku punye aversion to phone conversation ni memang tersangatla kronik. Maybe I come from the generation that first created txtspeakz or my 2 years stint at a call center put me off telephone call foreverrr. 

There's nothing much I want from my birthday. Maybe Prada (sile tampar aku sendiri sebab earlier I said nothing much iteeww) . But actually the thought of new bag pon aku macam suam-suam kuku gitu. Interested nak tengok , tapi tengok la if I decided to get one. I am more interested in planning my London - Scotland trip 2 years from now. Hahahaha. I decided in 2 years time (kalau gua tak pregnant lagi), I wanted to go to London to see back The Tower of London, tengok Harry Potter punye tempat tuu and taste Butterbeer and shopping2. Then go to Scotland for some cross country trip via car/mobile home/train. We'll seee. ( I think this is the first time husband heard of this full plan, he may fainted for a while thinking of the cost). 

Pagi tadi I asked Ajis to say Happy Birthday but he will not obliged. Pffftt. Kecik-kecik taknak mendengar kata. He was in a good mood even when I shampooed his hair, so selepas mandi tu I manage to snap this when he was at his cutest 

Ko tengok tangan tembammm ituuu. And he now likes to suck on his index finger. Actually not such, he likes to munch on them. Bukak tutup mulut, munch2 on finger. 

Oh berat now at 3 months 3rd week is 6.6 kg. His paed said are you sure he is 3months not 5. Haha. Tangan mummy selalu lenguh la tapi. Huh. 

Well anyway, eh alang-alang tu I share this story. Sometimes at night, when I put Ajis to sleep at my room, I always sit around downstairs watching tv but I bring along the baby monitor punye walkie talkie itu. Sebab kalau pasang tv, Ajis melahau memang takkan dengar. So time-time tengah tengok tv tu , I dengar macam bunyi merengek, then dengar bebetul macam bunyi kucing. Blur kejabb, sambil pikir "Bile anak aku nangis bunyi macam kucing", then the meowing gets louder. Naik atas bukak pintu rupanye Gollywolly meowing wanting to get out of the room. Bile tahhh die masuk bilik. Nasib baik Ajis tak bangun

2 ekor best friend. If you found 1 you can usually find the other nearby. Suke groom each other. I had put back Bobby collar. Loceng die besar gabak. Kelakar je bile die main kejar2, bunyi loceng kollar tu. Sounded like lembu berlari. Hehe

Tiny tot at 3 months

Baru 3 monthsss???

Rase macam dah lama.

Anyway wanna update it but had been crazy busy. Aku benciii. So ni ade sedikit free time meh update sikit. 

So what is new? Point form again yeaahh

Tatkala malam dah ngantuk, tengkuk pon dah tak nampak. 

 - He now likes to meniarap. Bukan dengan sendirinye. Oh tidak sama sekali. Tadek tanda2 langsung nak move his butt, but if I tiarapkan die, he likes to look around with interest dan dalam 10 mins lepas tu die meraung. Tengok2 rupanye muntah. Bile meniarap je muntah. But it was a big step, than before this I tiarapkan die at 2 mths dulu, meraung tak suke. 

- He does not like to sleep time siang sangat. Which made night time easier for me. Tapi kalau ade la mood die tu meragam, sakit nyawa jugak. But bile weekend memang aku penat la. If die dah boring main2 baring2 (which amount to like 10 mins, 20 mins max) then nangis la die mintak kena dukung. 

- Bath time is still hit and miss. I think only TWO time je I manage to bathe AND dress him without him screaming his lungs out. Nowadays usually it is just the dressing he does not like. Aku start letak baby oil je , die dah tak suke. Bathing time, he find it enjoyable, tapi ikut mood. And if kena syampu rambut, mood pon jatuh. Haha. Crankypants. 

Sometimes when he is crying, I took a step back and just look at him. It kinda make you less stressed. This time I took a pic. 

- He lovesss watching his cousin plays. Bile cousin2 die jumping up and down, he will look in glee, hands and feet flailing macam nak lompat dari dukungan dan join sama. Which is why we said, he doesnt look like he want to belajar to roll sebab die nak terus berlari. 

- Badan montelism, next week baru tahu berapa berat, tapi i rase my left arms is muscly dah kuttt. I agak lebih 6 kg. 

- He loves to be outside. So usually sebelom pegi keje, I bawak die jalan luar. Tak lama mana pon. Just enough kasik die nampak udara luar sikit, kena cahaya matahari sikit. Masuk rumah balik. If he is crying time siang and I have no idea what to do, I usually bring him outside. That usually quiets him down. 

- Eh oklah. I nak siap2 blah dan singgah mothercare to buy tiny tot Bumbo Seat! Tak sabar you. Nanti I update more about tiny tot. Macam banyak nak update tapi biasala blank bile bukak entry post. 

Gollywolly got spayed and other things (pemalas gile punye tajuk)

Gollywolly is now around 7 months and as the vet reminded us when we went to her last vaccination time puasa dulu, to bring her around to be spayed. 

Aku lemah sikit nak bawak sebab nak kena kurung die ni and perhati sikit, tapi last week pikir2 alang2 I got a week holiday, I might as well got it done. 

Walaupon kepala berkon, tapi tetap nakal.

di depan ade wolly, di dalam buai ade Ajis

Kemudian gigih aku keliling area Keramat, Wangsa Maju and Bukit Antarabangsa cari kon yang comel sikit. My maid pegi hilangkan the existing kon yang Kurap dulu pakai ( hanginnnn ). Last2 jumpa at Pet Save at Jusco AU2 tu. 

So pakaikan yang ni. I like this kon because senang nak bukak and bersihkan kon tu. Macam first night tu, pagi besok tu bukak cage tengok Wolly muntah keliling cage, habis kon die kotor. Kesian die. Tak ke senang aku nak cabut dan bersihkan and it is just velcro. 

Kenkadang I will clean the kon and give Wolly sometimes to jilat2 bulu die. Die kan pembersih amat, so memang die rimas la tak dapat jilat bulu. Tapi kena perhati la sebab tak sampai 5 mins die sibuk nak membuka bandage perut die nak jilat situ pulak. 

Masa nak pickup si Wolly alang-alang I brought along the tubby Bobby sebab perasan bulu die macam capuk2 bald sana sini. Banyak penyakit kan Bobby ni. 

Dekat vet tengok tadek ape pon tapi ade kesan cakar kucing kat bald spot die, tak tahu la sape mencakarnye. Kat tempat kena cakar kucing tu ade pulak bacteria infection sebab tu bulu tak tumbuh. Bagila a course of antibiotic and antiseptic shampoo. 

Aku gigih la bz bz tak cukup makan ni gi mandikan Bobby, and alang2 tu mandikan sekali Kurap. Sebab kucing2 I ni penakut tahap gile babas pada hair dryer, lepas dikeringkan dengan towel, I letak the cats outside tengah2 panas tu dalam 15 - 30 mins. Ingatkan cukup la tu, tapi Bobby ni kan saje cari penyakit,  sekarang die selsema pulakkk. Bersin-bersin, bunyi macam orang semput. Hish la kan. Ni aku bagi jugak antibiotic tu, which is aku rase sama je kalau aku pergi vet die akan bagi antibiotic jugak bile kucing aku ni selsema. Tengok end of this week, dah selesai ke tak selsema die. 

Bobby2. Kurang immunity badan sungguh. Tapi badan boleh tahan. Bile bawak carrier kiri Bobby, kanan Gollywolly... terasa berat dan sakit sungguh tangan kiri aku bawak Bobby ni. Rupanye berat 4.4 kg kau. Nampak je kecik. Tapi tengok je la gamba kat atas kebuncitan die tu kan. Gollywolly ni nampak je besa, tapi bole je nak lambung2 guna 1 tangan. Fluffy je lebih,

So semua jadikla macam kakak Kurap yang montel dan sihat sentiasa. Kecuali penyakit pelik2 seperti telinga bernanah sebab gusti dengan kucing liar, jarang nak tengok Kurap ni demam or selsema. Aminnn. Jangan pulak aku puji2 ni die selsema pulak. 

Kakak Gollywolly, Kakak Kurap semua sedia menjadi tilam pelindung di bawah buai Ajis. 

Kucing-kucing aku ni dari zaman anak sedara aku lagi , I perasan yang they like to tidur bawah buai. Lagi2 buai tu duduk tepi sliding door , memang suke betul la lepak situ. Lepak je aku ok lagi. Ni main kejar2 area situ la. Ok. Fine. Boleh lagi. Gollywolly pulak kalau boring pegi main buai tu. Die letak paw die kat jaring2 situ stopkan buai tu. Angin aku.  

Anak aku ni pulak kalau berbuai tak boleh stop. Nanti dengar meronta-ronta dalam tu disusuli bunyi Ekkk Ekkkk, kemudian vokal terus nyaring. Dahlah nak tidurkan baby Ajis ni lama amat. Fuhh, fuhh nak aje aku rotan kakak2 nakal ni. Bobby je baik suke tidur belakang dapur. Kesian, macam kucing terbuang pon ye gak. Kucing2 betina ni (esp ko tengok Kurap nak berbantal bagai tu) mesti nak tidur tempat2 empuk, Bobby gi tidur atas tiles je kat dapur. 

Gollywolly ni memang mengugat kesabaran, tak cerita lagi.. aku kalau pam susu kat rumah, tetiba die ade kat tepi nak mintak diusap, nak hidu2 badan aku. Pelik dengar bunyi pump kut. Tapi time pump jeee die nak bermanja, kalau time lain tadek pulak nak dekat. Tension gueehhh. 

Anyway... itu sahaja update kucing. Nanti aku update pasal Ajis pulak. Cewah. Macam orang tertunggu sangat. 

Ciao bella. 

Hampir sama tidak serupa sama sekali

Aku suke. The top one is the one I bought at Forever 21 ( rase remaja sangat ) before I bersalin. Bawah tu baru je beli dari one blogshop RM 45 aje few days back. Mulberry inspired alexa bag. Beg forever 21 tu I bought sebab macam ala2 Mulberry la.

So I have 2 macam sama sebab I love that style and nak bagi kat orang satu tapi HOIII, I love all my bags, the one yang I bought rm 10 mahu pon Rm1k. Forever 21 punye bag in the pic is 69rm aje. Ehem, setakat ni tadek lagi beg cecah ribu riban. Paling mahal pon I bought RM 300++. Tapi I am trying to extort Prada/MiuMiu untuk my birthday. Muahahahaha (gelak syaitan). I figured my husband totally owe me one.

Mulberry punye tahun ni macam tak cun, tahun lepas punye jugak yg lawa esp the style macam I bought ni. So I am not buying label because of just label dapat 'inspired' pon jadikla ye. Angan2 Prada pon macam ye tak ye je, sebab once bile masuk kedai rase macam nak jerut diri je bile pikir how much money one spend on a branded bag, that in that amount you boleh beli berpuluh bag pelbagai saiz dan warna dari Zara, MNG dan kedai cokia kat Sg Wang.

I wish he was with me longer

Puteh the sweetest cat alive. It had been a year since he left us. With Fasha, I miss her every day, with Puteh, there is a sadness that I didn't have him with me for long before he left. 

He was a gentle soul. You can look it in his eyes. Kadang-kadang if I saw a cat like Fasha, I want that cat, but if I saw a cat like Puteh I want it more. However I am doubtful if I can find a cat like Puteh. Puteh is a one in a million cat. He loves to be around you. Love cuddles. Without realizing, he will plop beside you teman tengok tv. 

I miss you Puteh. I am glad he came into my life. I did saved his life ( ok the vet did, but I bawak and bear the cost). He had severe UTI and was convulsing and unconcious sampainye, and I managed to save him in the nick of time. But it turned out I only prolong his life for a few months because another illness claim him. Also Puteh sampai sekarang hold the record for the most I paid in vet bills in one visit. (Close to 1k ok)

I always consoled myself when I thought of him that ... I did gave him a better life in the last few months. I did saved him for a little longer for him to enjoy a family and a home. 

Sampai ke hari terakhir die mati pon, Kurap tak suke die. Kesian Puteh. However I know he knows I loved him. 

Again he was the sweetest cat. There is no other cat like him, but I sure would like to continue to find. 

Tak berapa nak Puteh,

RIP Puteh.

Quick Entry

Book

I haven't done a book review in a while right? That is because I am stuck reading The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum. The annoying thing about my reading habit is that, USUALLY I will try to persist and finish reading one book first no matter how boring it is before proceeding to the next. The problem with the book is because I don't like the characters.  In the movie the wife was suppose to die kan. I never watch the Bourne movie so I don't know, all I know is that the wife died during the 2nd movie.

So I am now reading the 2nd book and the wife refused to die and damn that wife is irritating as hell, and I cheated and looked at the end of the 2nd book and found out that the wife is still alive (!!!!) and I am like GAH WHY YOU NO DIE BITCH! That bitch basically makes my reading the Bourne series so unpleasant. The character is so ludicrous and you just know it is the type of woman that can only be conjured up by a man. Gah! (but I will reserved more ranting on my reviews nanti).

Of Various Stuffs 

Been reading a lot of mommy blogs sebab macam best la nak tahu perkembangan baby masing-masing and to compare if our experiences are the same. A lot of them do product reviews, and sebab aku malas ni are some of the stuffs I bought during my pregnancy and now.

For stretch marks - I bought Burt Bees Belly Balm. Best woo. I can't stand the smell of food during my pregnancy and do not fancy smelling like cocoa butter (Palmer), used Bio Oil and it was good, though I don't fancy the ingredients ( too much chemical stuffs), L'Occitane one I tested briefly on my hand was too oily and the almond smell (can almond have a smell?) made me scrub my hands raw afterwards so I won't gag. The Burt Bees one is not scented, it feels really good bile sapu it on, and it stays on your skin but does not leave your skin feeling oily. From what I can see I don't have stretch mark well except for tepi area sebab I keep on forgetting to sapu that area. Haha. So, it works, and untuk for it to work, you have to sapu it very early on during your pregnancy ok.

Baby eczema - Not sure if it is really eczema, tapi my little boy skin tepi2 mata die feels rough and looks all red and kinda splotchy (if that even a word?). So I bought Pot of Gold Skin Balm, and try to sapu it on his skin, and to my joy it works! No more redness and his skin is less coarse now. Kalau tak work I am planning to just use olive oil je, so yeay!

Baru beli bengkung kutt, tapi aku malas pakai, bile pagi I am in a rush! So memang tadek masa nak pakai, dengan itu bile nak pakainye la wehh.

Being a klutz

Aku yet again, terjatuh di Midvalley di tengah orang ramai. Member aku cakap, tataw la kenapa dengan aku ni.

Before this my wrist was kinda hurting bile jatuh terduduk di tengah2 Robinson, I broke my fall with my right hand that have the slightly painful wrist. Now lagilah sakit. Bile menaip tak sakit pulak, it hurts if I try to move around my wrist. Super annoying when driving.

Catz!

Going to bring Gollywolly to the vet soon untuk dikembirikan. Usually untuk kena spayed ni kan, kena shaved bulu perut kat bawah tu. Kurap and Fasha bukan main fluffy lagi bulu perut afterwards. Ni Gollywolly ni dah memang terlebih2 fluffy, tak terbayang aku extra fluffiness bawah tu nanti.

So alang2 bawak the black and white kitty tu untuk spay, I will bring along Bobby to make sure yang betul ke die ade fungus infection. Aku tataw la ape masalah Bobby ni, sentiasa je ade sakit. Ade kucing yang tak puas hati dengan die and hantar santau kut. Jumpa one vet dah, bagi macam ubat anti fungal, tapi macam extra merah and bertambah botak lagi tepi tengkuk and atas kepala die. Cuak kejab so I stop the ubat and will bring to another vet for 2nd opinion.

Nanti gueh update lagi okeh.
