aqeef's weight loss

aqeef and i have been struggling with our weight for as long as i can remember.(ok, tetibe libatkan aqeef yang tak bersalah, haha). aqeef was born 3.93kg and his weight kept increasing since. we were worried but syafik kept on comforting me by saying "jgn risau, baby gemuk takpe, comel apa, nanti dia da besar main bola dia kurus la".. ok, fine.

if my memory serves me well, the last time we measured his weight was when he's 8 months old. and at that time he was 13.5 kg!haha. when i mentioned his weight to other parents, it never fail to shock them to say the least.their 1 year plus babies would normally weigh less than 10kilos kot.hmmph.ok, takpe, as long as my baby's healthy(being a mum you have to find your own way to think positively, or else u'll spend your life worrying about your baby saja kot. my experience lah).

ok, so last night syafik measured aqeef's weight (sgt susah ok nk suruh dia stay still atas weighing machine tu.menari2 sakan, pastu gigit tgn papa la, haish aqeef bertuah ni..). and his current weight is 10kg!!!!!huhu. that's a tormendous weight loss!(gaya dave nuku bagi semangat kat biggest loser contestant pls). we were shocked but happy nonetheless. i was asking lots of questions "adakah saya bagi dia makanan dgn nutrisi yg betul?adakah bdn dia tak boleh absorb vitamin mineral semua properly?" and so on. and syafik's reply was " kita lelaki mmg macam ni kan kip?makan byk tapi aktif mmg tak gemuk kan kip? tak macam org perempuan kan kip, makan byk je lebih..". to which aqeef replied with a huge laugh. fine. i need a baby girl now pls.;p

the point here is that aqeef weighs 10kg now at 11 months & 17 days. same as his weight when he was 6 months old. still cannot decide whether i should be happy or worried.hehe.

unconditional love

yesterday i went home earlier than usual because i miss my baby(and i have to go to the gym jugak sbnrnya.haha).i arrived home, and was welcomed by a grin and a tight hug from aqeef.guess he missed me too. and i asked him while holding him in my arms, "aqeef rindu mama tak?", he looked deeply into my eyes for about 5secs, grinned the cutest grin ever and hug me tightly for about a minute or so.

thats what make being a mother so worthwhile. there. unconditional love. :)

oh, please dont let me forget this feeling.

grueling but exciting first step

i had my first training session with my oh-so-energetic personal trainer and my verdict.....i loved it!!!:) still loving the fact that i'm currently a member of a gym.a very stylish one i might add. i'm in love with my gym, everybody in the gym's friendly and i didnt see anybody i know there. plus point.haha.

i had to go through multiple tests yesterday in order to analyze my fitness and strength level. i failed miserably at all the tests(a no brainer kan?)but flexibility.hah? even my PT was shocked at my flexibility level.huhu.(i was shocked jugak initially but when i come to think of it maybe i've had enough training in terms of body flexibility kot,;p, ok mengarut).

and they also did some body fat analysis and it did not come as a surprise to me when they told me that my body fat is 52.6%.it means that most of my body adalah fat semata and its even more than my muscle and everything.haish, kinda scary aint it?but i'm glad that i've taken some measures to improve it instead of still staying put, denying all the obvious facts.

i'm going to have another session today!hooray, i'm loving it, albeit the fact that my fitness and strength level is of the same level of a dying 70 year old pun,;p. insyaAllah all that is going to change soon.

najwa's solemnization, crocs warehouse sale & klcc all in one day!

kampuchean engrish

ok, i just overheard my kampuchean maid teaching my baby boy " aqeef, one two chreee, semail....". hahahaha. normally i would say "aqeef, 1,2,3, smile...!" when i want to snap his picture.hahahaha.semail tu tak tahan.

her abc is even worse.she would sing "a,b,c,d,e,f,g....x,y,z,k,l,m,n" after g she'd jump straight to x. tu belum dia nampak aeroplane lagi, tetibe je, "aqeef,tengok atas tu ada kakebang!".

hancur vocab baby i u know.

abu bakar ellah saya belajar gosok gigi

aqeef has a new hairstyle. papa dia punya choice jugak. rambut aqeef adalah teritory papa ok, mama aqeef takleh kacau, duduk diam2 kat tepi. ok. tp i still have the right to laugh and comment kot kan. lps gunting rambut i call aqeef, abu, haha.n i couldnt stop laughing for a full 5 minutes kot. n papa's reply was "rambut lelaki ni mmg camtu after haircut horror sket, lepas tido n mandi baru ok nanti. tak macam rambut perempuan, pegi saloon bagai cantik, lepas sehari horror." boleh?baiklah papa.

we went to cut aqeef's hair kat shah alam mall by the way. ada kedai mamak kat basement tu. we had no other choice, all the other barber shops(seksyen 2, seksyen 4, kota kemuning) were closed, n maktok aqeef has been complaining about aqeef's fringe poking into his eyes for ages. so, shah alam mall pun, shah alam mall lah.

mula2 masuk kedai tu dia relax je, senyum2 kat uncle tu, pastu duduk atas riba papa, papa peluk dia, n uncle tu wrap dgn cloth kan muka senyum2 je. and then came the shaver. muka da cuak. bunyi je shaver tu, muka da jadi cam kat bawah ni, hehe. and lepas tu mmg melalak goyang2 kepala n badan nak lepaskan diri. this is the only picture i have of him kat barber shop tu pun.


sekarang, i present tu u, abu bakar aqeef!!!!hehe.


aqeef tgh belajar berus gigi guna normal tooth brush. all this while, gosok2 je gigi dia guna berus gigi getah baby tu je. smlm maktok aqeef belikan aqeef 2 berus gigi ok, semangat betul.


ni nak gosok gigi ni pun mama dia kena duduk depan pegang berus gigi sendiri n berus gigi juga. baru dia nak berus gigi dia. n dia tak bagi org lain pegang toothbrush dia ok. nk pegang sendiri juga.


semoga maktok aqeef berjaya mengajar aqeef memberus gigi dgn betul!;)

anak bujang saya

anak bujang saya masa berumur 11 bulan 9 hari.














aqeef at 11 months da pandai makan byk benda. haha. tak kelakar. aqeef's an expert at imitating things people say. for example if you're teaching him abc, he will repeat "a b cheee!!". if u sneeze, aaachoo, the next thing u'll hear would be aqeef saying "choooo". maktok is currently teaching aqeef to do flying kiss; the sound of kiss being blown complete with hand gestures and all.but currently he can only produce the kissing sound je. huhu.byk lagi sebenarnya bunyi2 tp tak ingat sudeh. huhu.

lagi, at 11 months he can tatih around the house while holding other people's hand.nope he's not walking on his own yet. not more than 3 steps lagi kot.yes,for me its a little frustrating sometimes, especially when i've been teaching and encouraging him to walk for an hour or so, but he keeps on dropping his cute butt down to the floor(luckily with a cute grin on his face as well) and crawl to get from one point to the other.but at the end of the day, when he's sleeping comfortably on my chest, i'm just grateful for his developmental progress and keep motivating myself to help him better tomorrow, insyaAllah.

:) aqeef can also wave his hands whenever he hears the word byebye. he claps his hands when i say "pandainya aqeef anak mama ni!" and he will raise his hands to his ears(to start praying) once he hears "allahuakbar!". and for all that je pun, i'm one grateful mama.:)

getting fit with fitness first

After one month of surveying and contemplating which gym should i join considering all the important factors(location,joining fee, monthly fees, gym partner & offered promotions) i have finally decided to join the fitness first platinum!hoyeah!insyaAllah I will be registered as their member tomorrow.my sister has already joined this evening and it got me all fired up inside.i have to do this!

We spend lots of money to invest for our future (house, insurance, unit trust etc) but we normally forget that health is also one of the main components of our future. We never think twice when it comes to investing for our future but for our health, in my case, took me a month before i finally decide to join fitness first.once i made the decision, i was relieved.mostly due to my wonderful hubby's approval and support.(dia mmg suka sungguh nak bersukan bagai ni kan). He's actually a member of true fitness gym in hartamas pon.haish.took me over a year to join him as a gym goer.

Truthfully, the reason why i am so desperate to join a gym is because i need to lose weight.period.seriously, i have never been this heavy in my life.and i see no other way to reduce my weight but to exercise.i've always believed that to lose weight we need to exercise and eat healthily.no short cut.no magic potion, diet drink or body treatment that can help us reduce our weight(Unless you have all the money in the world and opt for a liposuction,ok,dream on nordina).And even if we can reduce our weight pun, the weight will not be easily maintained and you still need to exercise and eat healthily to maintain our ideal weight kot.(my opinion, based on my body la.bdn org lain tak tahu ok).and my long term goal would be to maintain a healthy lifestyle of course.i hope i will be able to teach my son that it is very important to exercise and eat healthily, and not die on him at young age.Nauzubillah.

I feel good. hopefully i can keep this commitment.i owe it to myself.BIG TIME!

InsyaAllah.:)

year end plan.

we were supposed to go to makkah for umrah on the 24th of december.the whole family. but apparently no umrah or ziarah visa has been approved for malaysians so far. not for end of december nor early january pun.not even the tabung haji package.tsktsk.i'm a little bit dissapointed. was so looking forward to see kaabah.especially after watching all those live telecast of people performing hajj.T-T.

and they said the earliest date to go that they can guarantee the visa approval would be in february.which of course not all of us can go. my sisters wont be able to join due to class and work. n syafik's family day to phuket will also be in february insyaAllah.haish. last2 mak je kot yg pergi dgn abah. tsktsk. kechiwa gila. we've been planning to go since last october, siap cancel our actual year end trip bagai.

haish. takpelah, ada hikmah kot.Allah belum jemput jadi tetamu dia. pegi we're not going to be able to celebrate aqeef's 1st birthday with him. hmm.so now what shouldni fo with the money that i've set aside for umrah?keep or spend?ngehngeh.*tanduk keluar sudah*.

tp i still cant help but feel sad.T-T.

yummy dinner

my dinner for the the past 3 days.kuah rojak kacang mak bie dgn jambu air.yummeh!:)i'm heavily salivating just thinking about it now.beli jambu air dgn kuah kacang tu kat hentian tapah arah selatan.sapik belikan utk mak masa balik dari ipoh last sunday.menyesal tak beli byk2, sedap gila!masa sapik tanya nak berapa hengget nak beli buah utk mak, siap ckp "sket je, takde org makan pun nanti" sat gi, kite yang melantak banyak.

skrg teringin nak makan pisang kaki.oh sedapnya buah-buahan.apa kes tah teringin buah-buahan.
