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 :)
