Last day of 2012

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Today, 31st Dec 2012, the last day of 2012. So, what most people would be doing today? Most probably going for a holiday since the road was soooo clear today, no traffic jam at all!! Phewww...what a good day to be on the road. I really wished that this heavenly situation will occur every single working days. Lagipun today is Monday, esok Tuesday public holiday lagi, that is why ramai kot ambik cuti hari ni for last minute school holiday getaway. 

As for me, I was here today with the kids and of course my other half............

@ UMMC

Sib baik la jugak hari ni orang tak ramai sangat. Pukul 1015am tadi dah selesai check-up. Kalau tak, paling awal pon pukul 12 tu baru kluar dari bilik doc. Macam last 3 weeks check-up, pukul 1 lebih baru kluar dari UMMC sebabnya terlibat dengan ceramah penyusuan susu ibu pulak. Tapi, despite all the tension of our time consuming yang nak kena berkejar balik masuk ofis ni, banyak jugak la dapat input pasal kebaikan susu ibu yang kurang diambil perhatian sebelum ni.

As for today, alhamdulillah everything inside my womb is alrite. The twins weighed about 1.4kg each, heartbeats are normal and air ketuban pon masih cukup.

Priceless moments

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

My lovely-s are back already! Nak tunggu dia orang sampai tu punyela tak sabar rasanya. Dah la naik flight paling lambat....1045 pm 18 Dec, sampai LCCT pon dah 1200 am keesokannya *chehh! mcm berejam pulak nak sampai, pdhal 45min je*. Tapi tau jelah AA, tak pernahnya flight tu on time. Itu pun kira nasib baik la delay sekejap je. Kalau time yang dia buat hal, melampau-lampau delay nya!!

Dari arrival hall tu dah nampak dah my lovely-s dengan tok ma and tok abah. Bila kluar je, si Ashif dengan muka shy-shy cat salam and peluk ummi. Muka macam muka tak caya je leh jumpa ummi dengan abah. Takkan la tak jumpa sebulan dah jadi pemalu kot..hihihi :) Apa laaa Ashif. Dan the first thing yang dia nampak and interested adalah...........IPAD!! Yelaa kan, dah sebulan pose dari teknologi kan. Kat rumah atoks cuma main ultraman, lukis-lukis, conteng-conteng, kaler-kaler, tengok TV and few days sebelum balik sini sempat la main air banjir separas buku lali kat depan rumah tok dengan Pok-su.

Jadinya, last weekend which is Saturday to be exact, lepas breakfast gathering dengan in-laws sambil-sambil menyerahkan PIL yang bermalam kat rumah malam semalamnya kepada SIL *ikut turn*, we were on our way to Sunway Pyramid sebab dah janji beforehand bila dah balik sini abah kena beli Ultraman baru...huhu. Muka dua orang budak lelaki itu berseri-seri lepas dapat ultraman masing-masing. Kakak pon of cos la tak dilupakan, ada bahagian dia jugak :)

Dan semalam, public holiday for X-mas, abah bawak jalan-jalan lagi. This time tangok wayang pulak. Ni pon sebab dah janji masa dia orang kat kampung hari tu. Kebetulan masa dia orang call, ummi dengan abah baru lepas dating tengok wayang cite Hobbits *ermmm.....x se-best LOTR trilogy pon, dan ada sambungan lagi*. Tapi entah laaa kenapa, hujung tahun ni macam takde filem-filem best pulak kat panggung especially for kids. Sib baik cite Wreck-It Ralph masih ade kat GSC Setia City Mall. Tu pun 2 slots je...1145am dengan 345pm. Alhamdulillah sempat sampai utk slot 1145am walaupun masa sampai tu dah kul 12 baru beratur nak beli tiket dan tak disangka-sangka panggung penuh pulak, terpaksa ambik tempat dudok 2 baris dari depan skali tapi sebab GSC punye wayang adalah yang terbaek, so takde masalah penglihatan or sakit tengkuk berlaku.

The movie was really worth watching even my other half pon cakap best. Budak-budak apatah lagi, memang enjoy sangat! Biasa kalau bawak tengok wayang, separuh jalan dia orang dah hampir-hampir zzzzz ataupun memang zzzzzz terus lah. Keluar je wayang, "Best laa abah tengok wayang tadi!" *Muka berseri-seri* What more could u asked for?? Seeing their happy faces and knowing that what you did really make their day was just priceless.
The joy of parenting...making our kids happy:)
 
Enough for the day, no more jalan-jalan or shopping spree walaupun SALE di mana-mana. Sebabnya, ummi tak larat nak jalan jauh-jauh dah, plus abah pon tak larat, ngantuk akibat tak tido semalaman sebab kena standby the nite before sampai ke pagi kat ofis untuk kerja-kerja termination apa ke benda tah....hehe. Tapi tu laa kan, the love of a father mengatasi segalanya and I'm sure he knows it was worth his every cents and time and energy.

Sometimes, u don't have to spend much to make your little people happy. Even pegi pasar malam, beli aiskrim potong rege lima posen pon amat bermakna bagi mereka. Kadang-kadang lagi, u don't have to spend even one cent pon to make them happy. Bila dia orang cerita apa-apa, jadilah pendengar yang baik dan lebih baik lagi kalau kita dapat bagi respond seperti yang mereka harapkan #notetomyself*.Just listen and understand them but not spoiled them. Semakin mereka membesar semakin banyak perhatian yang diperlukan. Biasa orang cakap, babies need more attention, tapi for me, zaman sekarang growing up child especially teenagers need more attention than babies sebab babies, all we have to attend is their basic needs. Tak perlu nak attend their hormonal change or anything related to it. Anyway, sebelum lari topik, I do hope that even selepas pertambahan ahli baru nanti, me and my other half could continue making kakak, Aqil and Ashif as happy as they are always be. Of course there will be more dramas, but hoping that nobody will be feeling left out.

Ohh ye, before ending this entry, I would like to compliment rooftop parking SCM ni yang sangat convenient kalau pergi dengan tujuan nak tengok wayang. Keluar kereta masuk SCM terus je ke GSC. Tak perlu nak menapak jauh-jauh. Itu yang slot 1145am, kul 1200pm baru beli tiket pon masih sempat lagi :) Tapi make sure kena sampai awal before 12pm sebab masa kita orang keluar dalam 230pm camtu, parking dari tingkat bawah sampai rooftop dah penuh sesangat.

Jangan disalahkan hijab

 Assalamualaikum...


Hari ni macam terpanggil nak kongsi sedikit pandangan dan pendapat yang tak seberapa. Al-kisahnya macam ni. 2 hari yang lepas masa tengah dok belek-belek Instagram, ada la satu photo (screen shot) drpd sorng retis ni yang menunjukkan komen tak berapa nak cerdik drpd follower dia and mungkin sebab geram yang amat sbb komen tu mmg sangat2 la berbau longkang, she did reply those dumb comments.

Tapi yang tak sedap dibacanya, komen tu ade dikaitkan dengan perwatakan berhijab si follower tadi. Walaupun mungkin retis tu tak bermaksud nak salahkan perwatakan follower tadi, tapi senario menyalahkan hijab di ruang komen mana-manapun dah lama berleluasa. Sebelum ni pon bila ade pengomen yang bermulut jahat tapi menutup aurat, pengomen-pengomen lain akan cakap, "pakai tudung tapi mulut jahat" ataupun "baik tak payah pakai tudung kalau hati tak baik" and so on laaa, dan majoriti yang komen macam tu dah tentu-tentu la drpd mereka yang tak berhijab a.k.a tak menutup aurat seolah-olah mereka sangat bangga mereka tak berhijab tapi hati mereka baik dan bersih sebab tak mengeluarkan kata-kata yang tak senonoh. Malah ade jugak yang tolong encourage retis kesayangan mereka supaya post photos yang lagi seksi supaya "ustazah-ustazah" tak bertauliah di luar sana lagi terbeliak mata dia orang....Astaghfirullahal-azim.

As for me, tak sepatutnya kewajipan menutup aurat yang dilaksanakan oleh seseorang muslimah itu dijadikan senjata oleh mereka yang mengaku Islam tetapi tidak menunaikan kewajipan yang satu itu untuk menutup kesalahan mereka tidak menutup aurat hanya disebabkan yang menutup aurat itu berkelakuan tidak baik. Menutup aurat itu belum tentu menjamin seseorang itu untuk menjadi muslimah sejati dan sempurna. Macam solat 5 waktu jugak la kan. Yang sentiasa cukup solat 5 waktu sehari semalam pon belum tentu dia boleh menjadi muslim yang sempurna, yang takde melakukan dosa. Habis, kalau macam tu, nak disalahkan solat jugak ke?

Sekurang-kurangnya, walaupun hati dia tak bersih, mulut dia macam longkang sekalipun, pada saya tak sepatutnya, kita yang kononnya hati lagi bersih dan suci dari orang tu cakap tak guna melaksanakan kewajipan agama kalau perangai still tak senonoh. Who are we to judge? Hanya Allah yang selayaknya menghakimi setiap perbuatan hambaNya. Dan sekurang-kurangnya, dosa tidak menutup aurat, dosa tidak mengerjakan solat, dia dah terlepas. Orang yang tak melaksanakan kewajipan pulak, walaupun dia claim hati dia lagi bersih dari orang yang menunaikan kewajipan, dia boleh jamin ke setiap hari dia takde menambah dosa dalam sebarang bentuk yang lain?? Lagipun kalau hati tu baik sangat or bersih sangat kenapa susah sangat nak mengerjakan kewajipan agama yang terang lagi bersuluh tanpa perlu disuruh atau ditarbiyah atau kononnya belum dapat hidayah???

Saya bukanlah ustazah atau alim ulamak nak quote ayat-ayat Al-Quran ke hadis ke untuk memperkukuhkan pendapat dan pandangan saya yang tak seberapa ni. Saya cuma kesal bila kewajipan berhijab itu diperlekehkan oleh sesetengah orang disebabkan mereka ni nak menegakkan benang yang basah. Kita sebagai manusia memang takkan terlepas drpd melakukan dosa, tak kira la sama ada kita berhijab atau pun tidak, sebab kita bukan golongan Nabi yang maksum. Tapi kewajipan tetap kewajipan, dan seiring dengan masa dan usia, insyaAllah tahap keimanan dan kesedaran kita bertambah. Cuma jangan diperlekehkan kewajipan agama seperti berhijab yang dilaksanakan oleh seseorang, hanya kerana dosanya yang lain yang bila-bila masa boleh diampunkan oleh Allah sekiranya dia bertaubat kerana Allah Maha Pengampun. Tetapi bagi golongan yang tak berhijab pulak, adakah anda selesa memikul beban dosa tersebut setiap hari dan ketika walaupun sewaktu anda tidur sekalipun hanya kerana anda rasa dah cukup bagus sebab anda ada sekeping hati yang anda claim bersih dan suci.

Holiday plan, virus, scam and a lil help that goes beyond control

Baru je ingat nak bawak my lovely little peoples kat sini bila dia orang dah balik nanti...........

Gold Coast Morib Water Theme Park

Tapi disebabkan sekarang tengah kecoh pulak pasal virus Leptospirosis which had caused a few death in children dekat satu water theme park kat Shah Alam, kena la pikir dua kali nak pergi tempat-tempat macam ni....hmmmm :( Tapi not sure sama ada betul ke tidak kes tu since I did not came across the headlines in any media source. Cuma dapat info dari status dekat FB je. Mana tau kes lama kan, tapi sebab ade je orang yang takde keje atau dh kekeringan idea nak buat status kat fb, dia orang pi la korek apa-apa yang tak sepatutnya disebarkan pon sebenarnya. Lepas tu orang lain dengan rasa tanggungjawabnya SHARE jelah tanpa usul periksa. Selalunya camtu la senarionya. Anyway, for our safety why not we take it as a precaution.

Lagi satu status FB yang agak menarik perhatian was this one.........

Macam ni la ye gaya rompakan zaman millenium ni. Kalau tak acu parang, tak kena ragut atau situasi  mencemaskan yang seangkatan, begini pulak cara orang sekarang merompak ye! Scaryyyy!! Nanti-nanti Malaysians pon ada kemungkinan jadi macam orang China yang dah pupus rasa timbang rasa mereka dekat orang-orang yang berada dalam kesusahan semata-mata sebab adanya penipu macam ni la. Tak tolong salah, tolong pon salah. Apa nak jadi???

Cakap pasal tolong menolong ni, I was actually not in a good mood sampai beberapa hari. Orang dah offer nak tolong, segan pulak nak tolak walaupun tau pertolongan tu bakal sedikit sebanyak menyusahkan orang tu. Tapi kalau orang tu tak tolong, I pon takde la susah sangat cuma penat la sket bila dah berbadan dua dengan kembar pulak tu. Tapi bila dah setuju, everything from A-Z was out of my control dan dah jadi macam menyusahkan kita balik walaupun pada asalnya pertolongan tu dengan tujuan nak menyenangkan diri ni. Tu yang kadang-kadang malas nak mintak tolong dengan orang lain, better kita buat sendiri walau susah sekalipun asalkan outcome nya seperti yang kita nak.

Dissatisfaction is such an unpleasant feeling especially when it involves my loved ones :(

What's happening

So, this is what happened in kampong yesterday when they got back to rumah tok-s after spending about a week in rumah tok ma and tok abah. Tok-ki (as they called my father just to differentiate between their male atok and female atok-tok wan) treat them with 3 differrent slices of cakes, which was actually celebrating  the birthday boy, Ashif :)

Wordless Wednesday

What I felt every morning before going to work now and then for the next 3 months.........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LIL' COBOK!!

Alhamdulillah, today my Ashif turns 4. Sadly, couldn't blow the candles with him today since he's in kampong with his atok-s, so we'll celebrate later next month ye, baby. Miss him damn much!! Feels like regretting sending all of them to kampong though I didn't feel this bad last time around. Maybe it's the HORMONE again....haha yeahh blame it on the HORMONE.

Called him this morning to wish him HAPPY BIRTHDAY, but he ignored me when I was wishing him. I think he just couldn't hear me because of the phone in rumah tok ma was so canggih compared to rumah tok wan that most of them can't hear us whenever we talked to them on the phone. I really mean the word canggih here because that's facts. I wasn't trying to perli or something...hihi. It is a cordless phone so, maybe because of the phone shape is long and straight, they don't know where exactly they should put their ears.

Anyway, HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY my lil' cobok. Ummi and abah loves u so much...mmuahh :) Cakes and prezzies will be patiently waiting for you here. Semoga membesar menjadi anak yang soleh, berjaya dunia dan akhirat....aamin ya rabbal aalamin.

#Twins : Precaution

Salam

Pregnant with twins is exhausting especially when u had to juggle with work and then back to your duty as a mom and wife. No, I'm not complaining here because that's fact unless u have a maid to assist u at home. For me, I don't have any.

The difference between pregnant with one baby and multiples are crystal clearly felt by me. I couldn't drive in traffic jams anymore, stand longer anymore, sleep tight anymore and not even sit in long hours anymore and bla bla bla...everything doesn't seems right, right now :( My back hurts most of the time, used to get dizzy and felt too lazy tired to go anywhere especially when I have a meeting. And unfortunately, my big boss is somehow a not-so-understanding kinda person when it comes to my current condition though he knew that I'm carrying twins *sigh*.

That makes me thinking, what if something happened to me when I was out on my own, though sometimes I did make excuses to not attend the meeting. I am not praying for something bad to happen *nauzubillah*, just saying that we should be prepared for the worst no matter how healthy or fit we are because like the saying goes "malang tak berbau". Ever wondered, if someone just had an accident and he/she is unconscious. How the people helping could inform their loved ones the fastest way if nowadays our smartphones are passcode/password protected? Nobody can access our phones to find our family member's number and this is where we had to rely on the authorities to take a quick action to inform our family :( 

So, this is the least I could do as a precaution :

Ohhh...the number I had to blur it here since it is case sensitive. Remember, for EMERGENCY ONLY!! hehehe :) And my brother came out with another idea the other day when I was in kampung. This time the purpose was not for emergency of course. It was only to keep the kids away from the Ipad for a while, but seemed that it didn't work for Ashif since he could stare at the pic and asked so many questions, not like Aqil who got scared enough and ran away screaming!! hahaha :)

Actually, this is the second picture I put as the lock screen wallpaper. The first one by my brother was a lot scarier than this even I dared not look or stare at my own Ipad!!

 

#Twins: My curiosities : Part 1

Salam....

I have been having some curiosities with my twins pregnancy. One of it was about the placenta. You know how complicated it could turn out inside when carrying twins and there are many things you never knew and understand before this of the twin pregnancies process itself and of your own organs during that period of time. 

It might not get complicated when having one baby because everything will be singular, but for twins, not every womb's organ existed to help during the pregnancy will be double to help the babies's growth such as this placenta or 'uri'. When the doctor and the sonographer mentioned that they could not detected whether I have 2 'uri-s' or just one for both babies, I was blurred at first. 

I thought that 'uri' a.k.a placenta was the sacks (kantung) that contained the amniotic fluids (air ketuban). That is why I said, when u are carrying single baby it is easier to understand your own pregnancy organs because everything is singular. But when it comes to twins, I just finally knew that the sack and placenta are two different things with different functions....haha :)

The placenta is an important organ that functions during pregnancy to provide a fetus with oxygen and nutrients and take away waste. It forms along the uterine wall of the mother and connects to the fetus via the umbilical cord.

So, in twins cases, there will be 2 sacks, one each for babies, but the number of placenta may vary. Some have two but some might have only one placenta, which in this case the babies will share whatever they need from the mother through one source. This is where things might get complicated. I know that sharing is caring but in this case sharing everything from one source to help you grow might not be helpful for you sometimes. This is because logically you will never going to have everything you need and want in the same amount of the other person you are sharing something with....see what I mean?

This is the doctor's main concern in twin cases because when this happened, one of the babies might get less nutrients they need and will be smaller in size than the other baby. So, as you can guess there might be health issues later on with one of the baby. That is why, the doctor informed me that I need to do the ultrasound every 2 to 3 weeks so that they can monitor the sizes of each baby to ensure that they grow at the same rate. If anything goes wrong, early detection is better when the babies is still in their second and early third trimester like me since a new technology was developed recently to correct the condition.

However, the facility is currently available in GHKL and GH Ipoh for the time being. The technology uses laser to cut whatever overbalance ties of the bigger baby with the placenta to allow more nutrient for the smaller baby to absorb. If early detection was not possible, things could get worse and to correct this condition, the procedure might get a little painful since the doctor told me that your doctor had to inject your womb to reduce the amniotic fluid in the bigger baby in certain period of time until you give birth.

In my case, they are treating me as twins with one placenta since they could not detected any two different placentas because I started my check-ups in UMMC when I was on my 19 weeks already **Put the blame on UMMC staff for the late appointment they gave me although I have told them about the twins** The number of placenta could only be detected during ultrasound in 1st trimester. When the babies grow bigger, it is impossible to see, even through ultrasound the exact number of placentas you have when carrying twins. I haven't consult Dr. Harris in SDMC yet of the ultrasound report when I went to see him for my first pregnancy check-up during my first trimester. He did not informed me as well about the placenta and I was so shocked to even asked him anything I was supposed to ask. Besides, who might understand the true risks when pregnant with twins unless you are a doctor yourselves. 

But as far as I'm and the doctor's concerned, whether it is one or two placentas, both of the babies' growth are in the normal rates. So, there is nothing to be worried about....alhamdulillah, so grateful to Allah s.w.t.  
 

Back to reality vs missing the kids

Salam

Back to reality now after 5 days of heavenly break from everyday same-old-routine that is not going to end any sooner...#boredtodeath.

Leaving the kids behind in the trustful hands of their atoks will always be a nightmare for me. Need to be stronger and keras hati because this will be our annual routine for some more years to come. Ashif was the one whose eager enough to follow us back walaupun dah banyak kali explain tak boleh ikut, kena tinggal dengan tok sebab abang dengan kakak pon tak ikut. Siap kemas mainan lagi sebab nak ikut tapi bila sampai airport, belikan air ribena dengan coklat terus je takde masalah nak say by-bye kat ummi and abah...apa laaaa!!!

Tapi belum sempat ummi dengan abah berlepas, dah sibuk calling calling 3 beradik tu :) And this morning, while waiting for my turn in UMMC, my lil' cobok telefon lagi :) His voice melts my heart away and a very tearful me just couldn't bear it anymore, I had to give the phone to my other half. Selalunya, kakak lah yang jadi mangsa Ashif sebab kakak je yang tau dial nombor ummi dengan abah. And then, masa lunch tadi Ashif called for the 2nd time hanya semata-mata nak tanye ummi buat apa, makan apa, and nak cerita dia baru je mandi tapi belum berus gigi lagi sebab berus gigi dalam bilik air lagi satu, tak boleh nak masuk sebab poksu ada...hihi.

"Ummi, hari ni ummi naik apa pulak?" - *blur jap. lepas tu baru teringat malam tadi dia called masa nak boarding flight, dia ada tanya, ummi tengah buat apa and ummi jawab tengah tunggu nak naik kapal terbang*

"Ummi sakit ke sebab baby dah nak keluar?" -bila cakap ummi dekat klinik pagi tadi

"Abah ada 100 ringgit tak? Ashif nak beli eskrem banyak-banyak!" - ingat nak beli ultraman ke....muahaha

Sian la pulak kena tinggal kat kampung tapi as I said before, it was their choices not mine. I would rather they said otherwise tapi tinggal kat rumah mak cuti panjang-panjang pon nak buat apa seharian. Baik tinggal dengan tok je...more freedom for them to do anything to occupy themselves 24 hours a day. Teringin jugak nak hantar ke kem cuti sekolah tapi dengan keadaan diri macam ni macam tak sempat nak fikir benda lain or just memang malas nak fikir sebab badan penat dan sakit-sakit je selalu...huhu #alasan.

Hope time flies fast so I can get to see them ASAP but at the same time I don't want this school break to be over so soon because the traffic will usually be smoother during this school holiday and also no more morning and evening dramas with the kids.

But, for the moment, ummi and abah will enjoy our "honeymoon" while it lasts because there will be a lot of dramas coming our way starting March next year :)

Salam Maal Hijrah 1434

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Salam Maal Hijrah 1434 kepada semua muslimin dan muslimat yang kebetulan passing by this page. Semoga tahun yang baru ini kita dapat menjadi muslimin dan muslimat yang lebih baik dan sentiasa beroleh keberkatan dan kejayaan dunia dan akhirat....aamin.


Hari ni jugak adalah hari ulangtahun kakak yang ke-8. Since kakak dah celebrate dengan kawan-kawan kat school so takde la nk celebrate dah. Doa ummi semoga kakak menjadi anak yang solehah berjaya dunia akhirat juga...aamin:)

Di pagi tahun baru

Jetsetting

We were jetsetting earlier yesterday from Subang to Kota Bharu via Firefly. Traveling in Fokker 50 aircarft, we arrived in KB safe and sound....alhamdulillah. The weather in KB was bright and shinny despite the facts that it is now monsoon season but don't expect it to last till December becoz it is still too early to expect any rainy days since we are still in middle of November. So just enjoy while it lasts.

The kids was so happy traveling to kampung by air this time...haha, though tempat duduk on board berterabur sebab tak nak membazir duit bayar untuk seats semata just to keep us together, but I think next time had to reconsider buying the seats online because it's was kinda chaos not sitting together when traveling with small kids. But alhamdulillah the stewardess did a good job in rearranging our seats after seeing Ashif not moving from other people's seat just because he wanted to sit next to me. 

Our flight was on schedule, and this is one of the reason I love about Firefly. They don't waste passengers' time, not like Air Asia. Beside delays, the walking distance from terminal building to the aircraft is so devastating for my feet to bear. If u not lucky enough, you had to queue again, standing for another 10-15 minutes or maybe more at the boarding lane leading to your aircraft. I'm talking this from my own experience when I went to Medan last year. 

I know the tickets are cheaper sesuai dengan slogan mereka, " now everyone can fly" but that doesn't mean that they cannot provide better services to the passengers. They still pay their money, not FOC!! I hope with the opening of new and improved LCCT soon, they will also improve whatever they lacked in current airport.

Anyway, am not writing this post to brag about AA's bad services, just wanna share some pics of my young jetsetters :)  Aqil was missing in action and walaupun dok ngutuk AA tapi nak gak ambik gambar background AA punye aircraft....hehe.

Happy Chaos

Those happy chaos at home will be over soon....at least temporarily since end year school break is coming to a start.

Tak tau la kenapa lately ni, terasa macam budak-budak ni notty terlebih pulak termasuklah yang dah beso cam kakak pon. Bila dah tengok TV tu lupa kewajipan dah, kalau tak suruh memang lupa terus. Tu yang hari-hari takde keje lain uminya nih...pot pet pot pet tak berhenti. Time cakap elok-elok diaorang nihh bukan nak dengar, bila dah pakai high volume barula bontot tu macam dah takde gam. Bila suruh tolong tengok kan adik dia masa nak tuang air sementara umi sibuk kat dapo *apa yang umi maksud 'tengok' tu bukan sekadar TENGOK je tapi TOLONG*, dia tengok semata sampai cawan pecah umi mengamuk marah tak hengat baru la dia nak sedar...haisy!! tula dia kejadian semalam. Sampai rasa macam nak tolong pecahkan semua je mug ikea yang sama design yang mana ade so that lepas ni takdela sakit hati sangat tengok tinggal satu dua je. Nak simpan and guna lepas ni pon dah takde ati dah. 

Yang si Aqil dengan Ashif biasala budak laki, kalo tak bertumbuk, berebut mainan dengan Ipad. Sorang tak leh nak mengalah, sorang lak terlebih manja. Jadinya, sama je, suara memang tak boleh volume 1 or 2. Takut betul melekat kat si kembar dalam perut ni. Karang tak pasal-pasal keluar je volume suara tak leh nak control sebab masa dok dalam perut, uminya selalu pakai high volume.

Lagi satu, bukan takut melekat dekat si kembar je. Budak-budak bertiga tu pun kalau dah hari-hari dengar umi dengan abahnye dok tinggi volume je masa bercakap, risau jugak nanti cakap diaorang pun tak reti nak sopan santun, asyik intonasi nak marah je. Tau jela budak-budak, senang sangat nak tiru apa orang tua buat. Jadi, walau apa jua chaos yang diaorang create, kenala lebih banyak bersabar. Tapi kan, macam mustahil je since sekarang darah sangatla cepat panas. Benda remeh pon kalau tak puas hati rasa macam berbakul-bakul perasaan marah tu. Anyway, not my fault. BLAME IT ON THE HORMONE...hehehe :)

Walau apa pun, I am enjoying every single moment of this annoying but happy chaos created by those little people of mine sebab diaorang dah nak balik kampung esok...huhu:( *crying my heart out*. Gonna miss them soooo damn much especially my lil'cobok sebab diala paling cheeky, paling notty dan paling entertaining *not that I'm favoring him better than Kakak and Aqil* tapi sebab Kakak dengan Aqil kan dah beso, so takkan la nk peluk cium gomol lebih-lebih lak kan, lagi pun tak best dah since diaorang sekarang ni dah takde lemak berlebihan macam Ashif....hahaha. Ashif on the other hand, masih lemak berkrim disukai ramai *tunggu la esok2 bila si kembar ni dah lahir, mesti Ashif jeles sebab Umi dengan Abah dah ade pujaan hati yang baru...ngeh ngeh ngeh*. Sian my lil cobok...don worry, u will always be my baby :) 

Camwhoring in piles of clothes at H&M

So, for the next 3-4 weeks or more, umi dengan abah will get some extra time for ourselves, just like last year. Nak kata suka memang tak suka, walaupun boleh extra rest, less house chores, rumah tak bersepah macam selalu tapi sunyi la pulak rmah bila diaorang takde. Tapi demi tok wan dgn tok ki terutamanya, diorang dengan rela hati nak dudok kampung time cuti skolah *tak pun suka sebab tak payah dengar umi pot pet pot pet hari-hari*. Lepas tu leh pi rumah tok ma dengan tok abah jugak sebab dekat je.

Kalau ikutkan nak je pujuk diaorang tak payahla dok kampung cuti skolah tahun ni tapi sian lak tok wan dengan tok ki yang mengharap sangat cucu-cucu diaorang balik dan tinggal sana sekejap. Takpe la, umi dengan abah berkorban perasaan skali setahun je :)

Salam Jumaat :)

#Twins : Essential needs

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.....

Salam aidiladha to my followers and silent readers if any...hehe.

Seperti tahun sudah, tahun ni pun takde kesempatan nak balik kampung walaupun cuti straight dapat 3 hari since raya jatuh hari Jumaat. Disebabkan nak save annual leave yang ciput tu, terpaksa la berKORBAN tak balik. Lagipun kalau nak spend 3 hari balik kampung dengan kereta memang tak berbaloi lagi-lagi dengan keadaan peknen camni.

So, apa aktiviti nak buat sepanjang 3 hari cuti? Shopping, car hunting and mandi-manda! Semenjak Setia City Mall ni dah banyak kedai bukak, malas dah nak pi OU ke Sunway Pyramid ke, lagipun dah tak mampu nak menapak tawaf kedai yang banyak-banyak kat sana tu. Ingat nak survey barang-brang twins tapi unfortunately choices for baby boutique tak banyak pulak kat si. Yang ada pun agak di luar kemampuan kami :(

Bila dah survey kat kedai tu, baru tersedar dari lamunan! Rupanya banyak benda nak kena beli nihh...selain baju-baju yang cute mute tu, keperluan lain yang memang essential macam stroller dengan car seat pon nk kena beli gak. Car seat, nak recycle yang budak-budak ni punye dulu memang dh takde. Dah le semua nak kena beli double!!! Kena buat baby shower la cam gini...muahaha dengan harapan ade orang nak hadiah kan. Stroller masih ade dan masih elok so nak kena tambah lagi satu je, lagipun tak berapa gemar la yang jenis double tu. Macam besar sangat susah nak tolak kalo pi shopping ke atau tempat-tempat yang sempit. Ada yang jenis double depan belakang tapi mak aii harga dia boleh buat downpayment kereta!! 

Jadi, kesimpulannya kenala start beli sikit-sikit dari sekarang.

Cakap pasal downpayment kereta, tu lagi satu essential need. Kalaula beli kereta tu semudah beli keta mainan kan..haisyyy :( Banyaknya nak kena pikir. Moga Allah permudahkan semuanya...aamiin.

Mulai sekarang nak kena buat list twins' needs sebab tak nak kelam kabut at the last minute. Dah le takde helper nanti sebab insyaAllah bersalin kat UMMC je bukan kat kampung macam dulu-dulu. So kenala pandai-pandai survive sendiri, kalau nasib baik mak or MIL boleh datang untuk seminggu dua masa awal-awal twins arrival bagus jugak. Tapi kalau boleh tak nak la menyusahkan diorang. Nak kena iklan kan ni kot-kot ada yang berminat nak jadi part time helper ke sepanjang tempoh pantang nanti. At least ringan sikit beban kat bahu ni...hehe.

Oppss... Dah 7:30pm rupanya, lom solat Maghrib lagi. Harap-harap towards the end of due date, masih boleh bangun duduk dengan sempurna untuk beribadah sebab perut pun dah makin berat rasanya, kekadang dudok pon tak selesa, baring pon tak selesa sampai dah tak tau nak dudok camne. Dah start dapat restless night sleep dah :(

Cukupla dulu membebel, Isyak awal sekarang ni. Chow cin cau :)

Discovering H&M

Finally, H&M has landed in Malaysia, not just one store but two. And the fun part was the location of the 2nd store which is in Setia City Mall(SCM), just about 20mins from my home sweet home...yezzaaa!!

Suddenly, there were so much hype about the grand opening of this store which is a bit weird for me. Macam la takde oversea store lain yang se-happening H&M pon kat KL ni. I think berlambak pon....Mark & Spencer, Debenhams, Sephora la, to name a few. Maybe it was because of the grand opening in Lot 10 store was celebs packed and the media's role in making it such a big event. 

Dan lagi the promotional strategies to attract people. Can u imagine shopping there for free like 400 bucks free??? If it was me, I'll be the happiest girl in the world!! weeehooo!! I just read in SCM facebook that on the day of the grand opening there, some of the earliest persons got to have a total of RM400 cash card to spend there and RM200 gift card for the first 150 people to Q...woww!! And the Q has started as early as 8.30pm the night before the grand opening in SCM....double woww!!!

Jadinya, mane boleh orang lain je joining all the hype and happening things taking places there, lagi2 la SCM tu dekat je kan. And plus my lil brother has been an unpaid promoter for H&M when he keeps telling me that most of the clothes in H&M-SCM are prettier and well organized than in LOT 10 since he has been to both location...jealous! 

So, on one fine Saturday afternoon, my beloved other half was so kind enough to bring me there...so sweet of u, baby :)  Actually was planning to go there with my brother after my other half came home from his office futsal league, so I don't have to drag him and the kids with me. U know how most men react when they have to wait for their ladies during long hours of shopping trip plus they have to look after the children. I usually end-up not buying myself anything or making some shopping mistakes instead. Besides, I need my own therapy, a private time for myself to indulge in something I love doing ( and every women love doing...) just like him...playing football or futsal, right baby?? hahaha!

But since my brother had other plans, so I said to myself maybe next time I'll have the chance. H&M won't be closing anytime soon with the well received phenomenon by Malaysians. So, I did not even bother to ask my other half to bring me there instead, but he was so loving enough to offer me his kindness...hehe.

After going there, and get to indulge in my retail therapy (syukur, there was no massive crowd like sardines) while he wait outside with Aqil n Ashif, kakak followed ummi *becoz kakak is a grown up girl now and making her way to understand the joy of retail therapy too*. I've fallen so much in love with H&M clothing range because there were so much choices from glamorous to office attire to casual look to mix n match etc....etc....etc and the children's range also makes me rambang mata. No words could describe those feelings.... ..over kannsss!! And the price was definitely quite affordable with the quality u'll get and the brand u'll wear, or is it just me yang terlampau rambang mata sampai tak kesah dah rege berapa sebab dah lama (lama ke??) tak shopping. And they even had 30 days return policies in case u feel like u did not like the piece u've already bought. Of course there are terms and condition for that. 

That Saturday afternoon, I was a happy lady and mother since I get kakak something too. The boys did not get anything since I've spent some serious bucks *for me la yg gaji cukup2 makan ni* on their Nike sandals last month and did not manage to get kakak anything at the time. So, it was kakak's turn that day. Tapi dalam keghairahan shopping tu, I was a bit disappointed since I didn't manage to get my other half anything :( Dah la he surprised me with a birthday cake the day before, on my birthday!! Plan senyap-senyap dengan kakak pulak tu. I even thought he did not remember since he was so silent about my birthday. Lepas tu pulak sudi bawak his wife ni pi shopping. So sooo frustrated, dah la bday dia hari tu ingt nak belanja makan tapi end-up he payed half :(

Now, I know why H&M is such a big deal this few weeks, since now I am also a big fan too. Had to admit that shopping is such a good therapy for ladies, even my feet and my back did not hurt during the visit there though I have to be in a long Q at the payment counter. Almost lost my temper becoz of the bad reception in the store when I was trying to inform my other half that I was in a long Q, trying to comfort him that I'll be out ASAP. Tapi, the day after I had to have a lazy day because my back hurts sampai nak pi parti bday anak opismate my other half pon tak larat dah....penangan shopping. Tapi nak kena make another round of shopping trip *tak semestinya H&M...bankrap leee* sebab barang2 twins belum beli lagi kecuali yang ni je.....

Cute lil socks :)

Btw, my fav singer, Lana Del Rey is the face of H&M...truly luv her songs

p/s : Bumped into Dynas Mokhtar at H&M that day....she looked so lovely with her short hair :)
