aqeef 13 months.

wah, pejam celik pejam celik da 13 bulan da anak bujang saya.alhamdulillah.tapi sebenarnya dia tgh demam sekarang ya.badan panas, hingus meleleh2, batuk dahsyat gila bunyi.tp dia teruk kalau duduk kat rumah, bila ajak jalan, terus sihat.eh, ke dia buat2 sihat.malam tadi tidur sgt dahsyat ok. setiap 15menit saya akan bgn tgk aqeef ok ke tak.sbb batuk dia sgt dahsyat.mcm bunyi org takleh nafas pun ada jugak.haish.risau gila.pastu bgn pagi gelak2.maybe dia tak boleh tidur baring kot.it will get worse.hmm, tp tadi da makan ubat demam, batuk n selsema.hopefully dia ok.sekarang pun baru tidurkan dia dgn cool fever tertempek kat kepala n tuam kain basah kat badan dia. bagi dia sejuk sket.

hmm.actually nak cerita pasal aqeef 13 bulan.mcm2 da aqeef tau buat skrg, alhamdulillah.dia da stabil berjalan, boleh tukar2 arah, pusing2 dgn stabil without holding anything.and, dia dah boleh bawa barang juga masa jalan.brg2 berat cam botol susu, bola ke camtu. tapi kalau kat shopping complex, lepaskan dia jalan, dia akan meniarap kat atas lantai tak tahu kenapa.taknak jalan.sapik punya teori adalah sbb lantai tu sejuk.haha.apekah.

lagi at 13 months, aqeef dah pandai ajuk cakap org sket2.hari tu mama tgh gurau2 dgn mak ngah aqeef, pastu tetibe mak ngah gelak sambil jokingly ckp "kurang ajar..." tetibe dgr suara aqeef "kuaja..." hahaha, semua gelak.ok, we have to control things we say in front of aqeef ya.kang bad words semua dia belajar dulu, nauzubillah. dia da pandai guna perkataan dah n belum properly. comel sgt.

pastu kalau dia pakai pacifier tu kan, everytime pacifier tu jatuh, i will pick it up and called maryam to wash it before giving it back to aqeef tau.sekarang aqeef pun dah pandai, kalau pacifier dia jatuh, dia akan angkat and hulur dekat maryam cakap "kakak.."haha. pandai anak mama. nak tergolek2 da maryam gelak tadi sbb aqeef asyik hulur pacifier suruh dia cuci.haha.

and at 13months of course la dia lagi suka makan.huhu.my baby, the master eater.haha.org master chef, dia master eater.serious he'll eat anything ok.anything.kalau org tgh masak, dia bau dari any part of the house, dia akan jalan pegi dapur n suruh org yg tgh masak tu dukung dia.pastu dia akan tgk benda yg sedang dimasak tu n telan2 air liur konon teringin sgtlah nak makan.pastu lepas siap, tutup api sume, dia bising2 minta food(read:jerit2), bila org da suap dia dgn food tu, baru dia senyum and dok diam.haha.

hmm,alhamdulillah according to the what to expect:the toddler year book, aqeef's development has reached the 14months baby da.alhamdulillah.semoga aqeef membesar menjadi insan yang gemilang, cemerlang dan terbilang.ngehngeh.

to be completed before june

my belated new year resolution. to complete below books before june comes.except for the "what to expect : the toddler years" tu la kan.i'll read it as aqeef grows month by month.


am planning to read more books this year. last year was adapting-to-be-a-mom year. did not read much. but this year, hopefully i'll be able to read more insyaAllah.

another habit to be a highly effective person.berusaha.

jalan2 takde motif

menghabiskan sisa ahad kami jalan2 cari pasal, cari makan dan cari motif lain. hujan non-stop dari pagi, jadi kami jalan dkt2 saja bila perut da berkeriuk.pegi giant makan secret recipe.














lepas makan kat secret recipe, jalan2 masuk giant utk beli calciyum n vitagen aqeef. sambil2 tu makan free tester ya kawan2. hari ahad adalah hati yg best utk shopping sbb byk free food tasting. ngehngeh. makan roti dgn mayo, biskut rokok julies, sup ayam, air oren sunkist dan mcm2 lagi. siapa yg paling suka?confirm la aqeef danish,hehe.














balik rumah semua pengsan kepenatan. hmm, maybe it's the rain jugak kot. semua mood nak tido saja, huhu. ok saya nak join semua org.

progress.

;) went to the gym this morning and had my body analyzed by my trainer.(uih, lain mcm je bunyik). and alhamdulillah, after a month, i lost 2 kg! woot! not so much but i'm more focussed at my body fat lost which is 6.1 kg!wah! saya suka! sgt excited ok, pastu kena belasah dgn trainer satu setengah jam pun tak rasa, huhu.

phewit2. muscle mass pun da naik, as per expected.bmi pun da improve, alhamdulillah. tadi masa tgh weigh dlm special room tu adalah 2-3 trainer lain sekali dgn my trainer. diorang pon dok la sibuk tgk my progress. pastu bila keluar result, masing2 mcm "wow! this is a month's progress is it?u hv made quite an improvement.....etc" oh jadi saya jadi riak seketika. haha.sekali balik cite dgn sapik, dia kata "diorang mmg da ditrain ckp mcm tu, to motivate u.." haha. ok, saya kensel menjadi riak.

tp my trainer pun seemed satisfied dgn my progress. i am satisfied dgn my progress. mainly because i can feel and notice all the positive changes in my life. i am more energetic, i sleep better, my stamina has improved like a lot, i can wear some of my old clothes again, and i can play with aqeef (timang2 n dodoi dia) longer now before dying. haha.

all this without restricting my diet to an extreme level pun!thats the best part. i eat whatever i feel like eating but in small portion. i used to go on ridiculous diet phase where i will stop eating carbs n sugar only to find myself stuffing myself with carbs n sugar 3 months later, which will obviously make my weight a lot higher than when i first start dieting. yes, with this method, i can see tormendous weight loss within the 3 months but i know now for a fact that yo-yo dieting is bad for your metabolism and health as a whole. i learnt it the hard way.

so now what i do is, try to eat healthier. eat on time, have plain water instead of sugary ones, try to reduce the food portion, try to take more fruits and vegetables, and when my cravings for sugar kicks in, i eat sugar. haha.but, in small portions than before, mind u.

begin with the end in mind. i want to be the healthiest 80 year old ever!insyaAllah. for that, work hard nordina! dont quit! u wont regret this!

selamat hari ahad!:)

7 habits of highly effective people

was very lucky to have the chance to actually go to this 3 days training this week. i have been cancelling the training 3 times previously because it was usually held during the busiest month of our department. and so, when i got the invitation to go last month and my superior said ok, i was ecstatic!



got this book for free!hehe. i have been postponing to buy this book cause i know i can get it for free during this training. ngehngeh.this book alone is good enough reason to spend three days away from the office risking mountains of tasks waiting for u once u get back.plus they give u free food!haha.

ok, the 7 habits.

no. 1 : be proactive
no. 2 : begin with the end in mind
no. 3 : first things first
no. 4 : think win-win
no. 5 : seek first to understand, then to be understood
no. 6 : synergize
no. 7 : sharpen the saw

the first 3 are for ur own personal growth, the next 3 are applicable for the people arnd u. the public. n the last one's applicable for all.i
am currently focussing on the first three habits because hey, if u want to change the world, u have to change yourself first right?

the workshop has a lot of interesting moments, they shared lots of interesting stories, video clips and perspectives. i had lots of teary moments jugak,haha. but the one thing that really has changed a big part of me is in habit 2. begin with the end in mind. when i first heard this i was thinking in the scope of my organization. in terms of job scope that is.i started to ask myself "what is my final target when i go to work every day?", just in case the instructor ask me about it. haha. and then she asked us this "who are u going to invite to ur 80th birthday party?and what do u want people to say about u at your 80th birthday?". ok, she made us make a list of people and stuff that we want them to say about us at our 80th birthday and the rest was history. i want my loved ones around me obviously and she taught us to work towards achieving the things that we want people to say about us in the end.

for example: i want aqeef to be at my 80th birthday party insyaAllah.:) (ok, terbayang aqeef da tinggi and badan besar, tp muka still baby mcm skrg, haha. apetah). and say i want him to say "my mom is the best mommy in the world. she's always there for me and i am so lucky to have her in my life.she's always there to listen, to guide, to hold and to just be there for me. i love u mama" ok. so, i'm not exactly that lagi kan. whats with working around the clock balek lmbt, pastu pegi gym tunggang terbalik poyo2 kan.i barely have time for aqeef most of the time. but in order for aqeef to say those things to me, i have to change my life now! it really got to me ok. i know now who and what should i focus on. kita selalu rasa mcm family ni adalah someone yg selalu akan ada dgn kita no matter mcm mana teruk pun kita dgn mereka kan, dan kita akan tak kisah sgtlah nk ambil hati mereka sbb no matter what they'll always be there kan? tp sbnrnya itulah org yg kita patut focus pada.i know that now.rather than focussing on my job, or other superficial stuff, i need to focus on my family. and actually when u have ur family's interest at heart, u'll automatically work har at work juga kan for the sake of ur family?

wah, saya da pening dgn ayat sendiri. kahkah. yg penting course ni adalah sgt membuka mata saya. and i am going to change, insyaAllah.:)

cupcake chic for a chic girl,;p

yep, i have a sweet tooth. i cant resist sweet things especially when it comes in the form
of creamy red velvet cuppies/cakes. nyumnyum. went to sunway pyramid last monday(sapiki if u're reading this, i know i did not ask for ur permission to go there, sorry sgt. but i have a very good reason.u just wait,;p). and i got myself..


something from cupcake chic!:) ngehngeh. i've tasted them once before and it was quite ok. they have this schedule where certain cupcakes will be available at certain days only. for example chocolate marshmallow will be available only on tuesdays and fridays, red velvet will only r available on mondays and thursdays only. something like that lah. and it so happened that monday is red velvet day!(am currently addicted to anything red-velvety,dont know why).so i bought one and took one of their vanilla cuppies.


wow!was my first impression after having the first bite of the creamy red velvet. its no delicious' red velvet but it sure came pretty close to it. yeay, nyummy red velvet in sunway pyramid. a dream come true. huhu.bila tah nal insaf.


takpe, lepas makan cupcakes, kita exercise dgn paula abdul. have started to dance with her again after 2 years. it felt so good. this is the only aerobic routine that i can actually follow without feeling bored. sgtlah membantu stamina, and its fun too!seriously. 1 hour will pass by without u noticing it and i'll sweat like crazy afterwards.even sapik pun tergoda nak joget sekali. siap buat ayat "saya rasa saya lagi graceful dari dia lah" haha.perasan pls.

equation for the day : cuppies + paula abdul's getup n dance = neutral. haha.

here comes the sun & monday.bluek.

one of my feel good songs.tsktsk.its monday again.:( please let the weekends come sooner.please...

one apple vs delicious

we were window shopping in sunway pyramid just now and saw below newly opened pastry shop - one apple. we walked by without stopping because i'm on a healthy diet plan, konon2nya lah.


and then we went up one floor using the escalator and on the escalator, a guy gave syafik a piece of paper that said : "2 pieces giveaway" and the guy told us "if u're a cupcake lover, come over to our shop, seriously, we're the best". oh, what are the odds eh?org diet disorong cupcakes free? mengarut betul.


of course i went to get the FREE pastries!haha.there were a lot of pastries to choose from, they have cuppies, muffins & danish pastries. and, being a chocolate lover, i chose two chocolate cuppies!haha.


my verdict?hmm, it was ok,the cake and cream was so moist and creamy but that was it. nothing special for me, not worth ruining ur diet for.


unlike this baby from delicious. yummmmmeh baby.DELICIOUS. oh my God. it was to die for. my body tingled ok, setiap kali makan red velvet cupcake ni. i did not regret eating it at all.seriously.even my mother in law, sister in laws and hubby pon kata sedap.its the cream cheese i think, sgt creamy n cheesy n fluffy. oh.


oh, just look at this red baby. i love u miss red velvet. till we meet again once i've lost all my excess baggage.i hope u'll wait for me ok love?

hahahahahahaha. maryam, maryam...

aqeef's first swimming pool experience

erm, was it?i dont think aqeef has been in a proper swimming pool before. small plastic pool in the house-checked! the beach-checked! swimming pool-first time today, meaning checked!:) and it was a complete success!

we went to kelab golf negara subang's, cause i remembered that they have the biggest kid's pool compared to other clubs and my sisters and i used to have great fun there.and therefore its no surprise that aqeef loved the pool to say the least. oh my God, the whole time that he was in the pool, he was moving, laughing and making the most of every seconds. kitorang pun sgt happy and teruja tgk dia. tergelak2 kitorang tgk dia splash2 kaki n tgn dia. huhu.




the pool area from our parking spot. aqeef da teruja gila da masa ni sbb tgk air yg byk.





aqeef yg happy gila sbb byk air all around him. note to self : am going to get him better swimming apparatus later on.





suruh pandang mama pun tanak, menjerit2 dia sbb nk swim, hehe.





papa aqeef's attempt to teach aqeef a thing or two about swimming.





bonding time. mama kasi can kat papa spend time ngan aqeef.(padahal mama nak duduk atas kerusi, penat duduk atas lantai).











time to go home. sedeh je aqeef bila nak balik. takpe, sunday ni insyaAllah mama n papa bawa aqeef swim lagi hokeh?





dah maghrib, tgh tunggu aqeef minum susu by the pool lepas swim. sgt kelaparan muka dia lepas swim.





heading to the club house for dinner, nyumnyum.





now, closing up the short holiday with glee season 2. mak ngah aqeef just bought the latest seasons of everything!cool la mak ngah!

esok keje eh?eh?tak kesah pun, cause i had the best day ever with my two boys.:).

ahad kami yang lepas

hari ahad lepas-post bday party aqeef, kami lepak2 pegi sunway pyramid(mana lagi nk pegi tah, balik2 pyramid). maktok aqeef nk cari barang kesihatan n nk topup brg mac dia. pagi2 dia da "jom teman mak pegi pyramid jom", kami mcm org mengantuk disorongkan bantal, ikut saja. we love sunway pyramid. eh, tetibe.

sampai2 terus pegi mac sbb maktok nk beli brg dia, tetibe sampai mac, sebelah kedai dia ada...... coach! da bukak da! huwaaa!



seronok ok kami cuci mata, test2 beg dia, belek2 purse.somehow kat pyramid ni lagi byk choice dari kat ou or klcc. plus, the sales assistants were much nicer.lagi seronok kami membelek2.belinya tak, haha.

lepas pegi mac, maktok jalan2 cari...


brg2 gym?haaa?oh tidak, maktok cari brg quantum science.and oh akip da tido pun by then sbb penat gila kot excited nak jalan2.


inilah quantun science. dia mcm pendant, water bottle, watches yg dalam dia ada serpihan gunung berapi.mcm ngeri je bunyi kan. huhu. everybody knows that tanah bekas gunung berapa adalah sgt bagus kan, tanam apa pun jadi, because it's supposed to have a lot of energy and apparently it is good for our health juga.lots of my relatives have been using the things for quite a while now, and they've seen positive results. badan yg sakit jadi ok, lenguh2 lepas bersukan dah takde, things like that lah.my mum bought their pendant and bottle water.


phua chu kang pakai juga ok, muahahahahahaha.


lepas tu maktok belanja makan, kami tak tolak punya org belanja makan.huhu. maktok teringin nk makan hartz chicken buffet, kami lagi on, sbb masa tu tgh lapar gila. tp mahal gila weekends. dgn tax rm24. tp my mum, "alah, baru 8 australian dollar, dpt buffet bagai. kat aus, 10 dollar dpt nasi dgn 2 lauk je". she had a point there.hehe.


sepanjang2 kami mkn, akip tido saja.wah! mama akip melantak tak hengat. ;p masa da last meal tu baru akip bangun n makan buah.





maktok n makchu akip yg suka makan mcm akip juga.


akip jalan dgn papa tgk the buffet spread.

lepas makan we went around looking for aqeef's shoes and straw water bottle. dia da pandai sedut straw da skrg!good boy.


aqeef suka kasut gegirl, oh no!;p serious dia sgt suka kasut ni, maybe sbb dia merah kot. hopefully sbb dia merah je pls. we were actually looking for kasut bunyi2 bila baby jalan tu, sbb nk galakkan aqeef berjalan. i read somewhere, it can motivate babies to walk sbb dia akan tertarik dgn bunyi tu n jalan lagi byk to hear the sound. all this while i thought the shoes with sound tu tujuannya hanya nk annoy org je.haha.


last2 jumpa kasut ni, susah rupanya nk cari kasut bunyi ni.


and so far, aqeef sgt suka dgn kasut ni, it's been 3 days now, n tido pun dia nk pakai kasut ni. kalau dia tgh tido2 ayam, n kite cuba cabut kasut dia, dia bgn ok. pakaikan balik, dia sambung tido. bila dia da nyenyak baru boleh cabut.


n oh, ptg tu pegi potong rambut lat anura yg da bukak cawangan kat giant kota kemuning. seriously sgt terer mereka gunting rambut. n harga pun berpatutan. saya sgt berpuas hati. even my sisters pun suka.

that's how we spent our sunday. la ni hari khamis, thaipusam. cuti lagi!:) what shall we do today?hmmm...
