Of Being Young Father

Rasa lega sangat weekend hari tu dah siap gosok baju encik husband. bukan ape, dah alang-alang nak dekat due date ni, takot jugak baby pie semangat nak tengok dunia ni cepat, siam plak encik husband nak gosok baju sendiri kan. ala, sebenarnye boleh je die gosok sendiri, die pun cakap die akan gosok sendiri, tapi itu la kan, i myself yang manja kan dia sangat, berlemak sikit la beliau tu. hihhihi...

hari tu encik husband offer, "sayang nak iron baju dalam bilik tak?sejuk sikit..". sejuk la sikit sebab ada aircond kan. ok jer bertungkus lumus la encik husband, bawak iron, iron board, dengan spray baju masuk dalam bilik. sambil-sambil tu dia teman kat katil, borak-borak and all. sekali agaknya dia dok menjeling i yang tengah iron his clothes, then die cakap, "sayang tu, nampak ke iron tu?".

i was like, "ha?ape yang tak nampak?". rupenye perot i dah sampai kat baju yang nak di iron tu. hahaha... kuang asam sangat! i pun mula la bukak mukadimah, "i saje je iron dalam bilik ni, so that you nampak susah payah nye wife you yang tengah sarat mengandung pun boleh lagi iron baju u. bukan satu dua...nak dekat sepuluh helai ni..."

"yela sayang.....hahahaha!!". kesian. baru romantik2 nak teman wife iron, kena sebutir. hikhik...but he knows me better. die tau i takkan buat something tu kalau i tak suke, or tak larat. tapi encik husband cakap, "nak tunggu sayang tu tak larat, sampai dah beranak pun larat je lg..."..selagi mampu kita buat la sendiri. nanti kalau asyik depend dengan orang lain je, orang pandang rendah dengan kita. =)

kalau nak ikot kan, i have like 15 days to go for my EDD. tapi selalu first baby orang cakap keluar awal, eh? ke lambat? i dont know, but i am going to take my maternity leave starting next week, which will be 2 weeks earlier. you know why? bukan i nak sangat cuti (prfttt...!!), tapi encik husband keep pestering me untuk cuti.

bayangkan lah tiap pagi kul 6.30am camtu kejut dia suh bangun, dia akan lilitkan tangan dia all over my body, pastu bagi nasihat-nasihat yang tak patut di pagi hari macam, "sayang cuti eh hari ni?boleh bangun lambat.." followed by a cheeky kiss on my cheek. or dia akan cakap, "sayang cuti la...penat dah keje kan...". sambil buat-buat sambung tidur. or kalau die bengang sebab i macam tak layan die, he will say " sayang tu setia sangat dengan company tu, ape die bagi pun...". hahahaha....

adoi la....ade je pengaruh tak baik die.but i felt so wanted by him. macam die tu susah nak lepaskan i pagi-pagi gi kerja, or knowing that actually he loves to spend the extra minute every morning on the bed doing nothing except having me sleeping next to him. ada sekali tu, that both of us dah bangun awal, tapi tu la, main peluk-peluk camtu, sudahnye bangun at 7.15am. hahahaha...padahal nak kene keluar rumah kul 7.30am. hikhik...but it was a fun moment, pastu dua2 pun gelak all the way to office.

i just hope that the feelings (of being wanted) between us will grow each and every day. he's everything i have and my life depends much on him. siapa yang dah kahwin tu tau la rasa dia. tak sama macam masa bercinta. kalau masa bercinta tu, asyik la nak berkepit, lepas kahwin ni, bukan je rasa nak berkepit, rasa taknak gi kerja pun dah ada dah. hahahaha.....which is very very bad!!jangan tanamkan perasaan macam tu dalam jiwa kita, buruk padahnye.hahaha...

cuma ada sekali tu, i rasa terharu sangat. sebab i tanya dia, "b, are you excited that we actually have our own baby, yang lagi a few days je ada dengan kita..." over dinner hari tu.

then he said, " masa mula-mula i tau you pregnant tu, i tak rasa pape. after a few months pun i biasa je. tapi now i excited sangat, and sekarang i dah nampak perut u, lagi la excited.." sambil dia kunyah-kunyah ikan goreng.

memang excited sangat. bangun tidur die akan usap perot i, then he wished "good morning [insert baby pie's name]...dah bangun ke sayang?". and on the way to the train station, sambil usap-usap perot i,die akan bagi nasihat kat baby, " [insert baby pie's name] jangan nakal-nakal tau..teman mommy pergi kerja tau...". it's kinda weird at first, but i guess a normal father would do that, isn't it?

finally, i just can't wait for baby pie to arrived, sebab i tak sabar nak bagitau baby pie that she has a great father (and awesome too!) who loves her so much and would do anything for her. he will cherish her and take a very good care of her. insyaAllah. cuma mommy agak risau, your daddy boleh ke tak bangun every 2 hour teman mommy bagi u makan. hikhik...boleh kan daddy? =)

Cleaning Day

Semalam Sunday, the whole day we stayed at home. there's so much to do, like cleaning and all (kemas kan memang takkan habis). pagi tu supposely pergi jogging, tapi encik husband agaklah berat nak bangun, so duk rumah je la. pagi tu bangun, buatkan encik husband jemput-jemput bawang ikan bilis, and i had mee hoon soup for breakfast.

lepas makan, sapu and mop rumah. dulu i selalu buat sendiri jer, but now since dah sarat, encik husband tolong. i did my sapu and mop, nanti dia akan guna microfiber mop untuk clean up the left-dust. kan kadang-kadang kalau kite mop ade habuk-habuk yang tertinggal. i personally like to use mop yang perah pakai tangan eventhough encik husband dah siap belikan baldi yang siap ada tempat nak perah mop tu. entahlah, i traditional like that...ahahaha...perah pakai tangan lebih puas!hihihihihi...

ha ni la microfiber mop yang encik husband pakai. mahal jugak dalam RM35++ kot, mahallah compare dengan mop tradisional yang nenek-nenek selalu pakai tu. beli dari first pindah rumah. almost 1 year simpan dalam store barulah digunakan. itupun sebab encik husband yang pakai. kalau tunggu puan isteri beliau, memang dalam store je la. hahahaha...

then petang tu konon nak pergi carefour la cari fruits, nak pergi minum ice blended la kat cyber, last-last penat mengemas ke ape, tidur bergolek-golek sampai ke petang. than malam tu konon nak keluar dating, last-last sebab ada MU match, order domino's je.

dahla domino's encik husband boleh lupe BBQ chicken wing i. memang luluh hati i. merajuk la sekejap. sedih gila siap menangis tak dapat chicken wing. hahaha...perangai betul!tapi memang la, sejak pregnant ni, kalau i request something (especially food), kalau tak dapat, memang menangis terus la. walaupun setakat air limau ais cenggitu. hahaha....

ntah pukul berapa habis match MU tu, i memang dah tidur dulu kat sofa depan TV. tau-tau encik husband kejut suh masuk bilik. bukak kan aircond, siapkan bantal untuk kaki i, bukakkan comforter, let me sleep, tutup lampu, and a goodnight kiss.

and i slept soundly like a baby, sampai pagi tadi dia cakap, dia almost fell from the bed, sebab i dah tolak dia sampai hujung katil. hahahaha.....was it me??ahahahha.....siannye la suami saya..tapi dia cakap tak sampai hati nak kejut.

fine fine. taknak kejut merasa la yer tido kat border katil. hikhik...mesti kiut jer. mesti mcm gelabah nak jatuh. hikhik...

Tips Membeli Stroller

setiap orang ada criteria sendiri when buying strollers. i do have my own set of criteria when buying my first baby stroller. and i wanted to share with anyone who possibly looking for a stroller, especially untuk first baby, and still tak tau what to do, how to choose etc etc.

[My Criteria]
1. Folding type
-my main priority
-kene tau jenis kereta kita. means if you have small car/compact car/town car, adalah disarankan untuk membeli stroller yang boleh folding jadi sekecil-kecil umat. hahaha... so it's either boleh fit in dalam bonet kereta or seat belakang, and still got extra spaces untuk letak barang lain.
-kalau setakat pergi shopping oklah kan, tapi kalau balik kampung kan susah? so stroller yang tidak memakan space adalah pilihan utama.
- unless you have a big car with a big bonnet, you should skip this part...hehehe!
-suggestion beli umbrella folding untuk compact car...like mine!

2. Weight
-since stroller is meant to be push, kalau berat pun takpelah kirenye, sebab tu dia jatuh to my second priority.
- dapat cari stroller yang folding kecik and ringan adalah paling bagus.
- berat yang i cari adalah dalam 4kgs to 6kgs. tu pun dah berat sangat. kalau ringan boleh masuk handbag kan bagus...hahaha...

3. Duration of usage
- kalau boleh cari stroller yang boleh guna dari newborn sampai umur 5 ke 6 tahun would be nice.
- tapi jarang la ade stroller yang offer newborn sampai a few years. basically dari 6months and above.
- sebab kalau dari new born mesti boleh fully recline sampai 180 degrees (penting!)

4. Brand
- penting sebab contohnya a certain brand yang dah lama establish dalam market, kita boleh tau the quality is good. sebab tu dia boleh bertahan dalam market.
- penting sebab certain brand offers worldwide warranty dan bukan setakat warranty kedai jer.
- brand jugak since dia dah establish lama dalam market, safety dia mestilah sangat bagus, means kalau la ade stroller dia yang tergolek dan mencederakan bayi, mestilah dah kene saman and out of the market. hihihhihi...

5. Pricing
- at the end of the day, bila semua criterias above were met, pricing jugaklah yang memainkan peranan.
- everyone knows when you pay for a stroller yang sangat sangat bagus, harga dia mestilah mahal gilos.
- so untuk orang yang not earn like a CEO (yup!it's me!), ukurlah baju di badan sendiri kak. jangan menyusahkan diri dan keluarga yer.

***

being me, whatever i choose must be perfectly perfect (for me) and i would have been satisfied with my buying. knowing that we have the power of purchasing, and the power to choose (over internet especially). encik husband will ALWAYS have the final say, almost on everything. he leaves me with the research, surveying etc etc, and if it's his turn to pay, he WILL have the final say. tapi yela kan, benda yang 'kita' nak tu mestilah kite cerita yang pros je (and cons tu sikit2 je...hahahaha), pengaruh lebih sikit.

and yes, we had already received our first baby stroller after all the hardwork (kumpul duit tiap bulan) dan penantian.

 

 MacLaren Quest 2012 in Medieval Blue/Scarlet

Finally, me and encik husband decided to buy MacLaren Quest 2012 after we went through all sorts of brand for baby strollers. setelah mempertimbangkan apa yang sepatutnya, criteria yang i mentioned above ade lah sedikit sebanyak terkena.

1. Folding

- MacLaren Quest adalah umbrella folding, maka dia takkan amek space yang banyak.

- kekurangan dia bila folding, dia tak boleh lipat dua setelah umbrella folding macam stroller biasa, jadi dia agak panjang untuk bonnet town car. tapi still dia amek half of the bonnet instead of all (beg balik kampung nak letak mane kann..)

- husband pun setuju..so yeay!!

2. Weight

- MacLaren Quest hanya seberat 6kgs including hood and shopping basket.

- a bit tad heavy compare dengan Combi WC yang 4.2kg saje. Combi was our first choice tapi sebab dia tak boleh umbrella folding dan harga mahal (melebihi bajet kitorang).

- lepas folding and suruh encik husband angkut kat bahu, he said yes. so yeayy!!

3. Duration of Usage

- yang ni paling penting (bila nak memenangi hati suami...hehehe).

- i cakap walaupun harga mahal, tapi MacLaren Quest boleh pakai dari newborn sampai la budak umur 4 5 tahun, which is approx. 25kgs. so kire la bape lame boleh pakai. i've read somewhere kat blog, anak dia dah umur 6 tahun pun still tolak pakai MacLaren yang dia mula-mula beli (walaupun ade sign of wear and tear macam gabus kat handle etc etc)

- sambil cakap sambil tunjuk bukti kat encik husband. so yeay!!

4. Brand

- yang ni i tak payah nak elaborate panjang-panjang kot.

-telah berada didalam market dari 1967 and founded by Owen Finlay MacLaren.

- despite ade certain years yang product dia not good and they called them back, still i read a good reviews from the users of their strollers.

- warranty ada dua i- Basic MacLaren Warranty ii- Sovereign Lifetime Warranty. boleh baca details kat web diorang.

5. Pricing

- MacLaren Quest adalah sangat cheap di UK and cost only 75pound, which is equivalent to RM300 saja.

- Kat malaysia, the price is from RM1399.

- since we got a good bargain, eh takdelah good bargain sangat but the the kedai ada buat promotion Mother's day (and this one i have to thanked encik husband sebab dia yang stumbled upon the advert).

- so kitorang dapat less than RM1399.

- so yeay!!!

lepas dah order, i saw this one colour yang i suka sangat sampai i pujuk encik husband untuk tukar kan kaler dia.

ni haa...

MacLaren Quest 2011 in Black/ Scarlet

tapi i rasa ni model lama kot. looking at the tyre and handle. tapi kalau dapat pun takpe. cantik sangat kaler dia. but whatever it is, im so happy sebab encik husband telah menunaikan cita-cita i. semoga daddy baby pie dimurahkan rezeki , dengan kesihatan yang baik, dan bahagia disamping keluarga tercinta. we love you so much daddy and thank you so much sebab jaga kitorang sebaik-baiknya.

Combine la hadiah birthday dengan wedding anniversary...

penantian suatu penyeksaan..
but it was all worth the wait. akhirnya sampai juga beg idaman (idaman la sgt..) i setelah dari birthday i order and that was like a few months ago.i even dah terforgotten (perghh bahasa kau) pasal beg tu.

24th Feb was my birthday. sebelum tu dah hint-hint encik husband nak hadiah (gelabah gila nak hadiah). encik husband tanya jugak, "sayang nak hadiah apa untuk birthday?". and selalunya i jawab main-main, but this time around, i dengan gigih mengaku nak handbag.

husband cakap, "handbag yang berlambak tu siapa nak pakai?". hahaha...soalan membunuh tu. i just jawab dengan muka paling comel (mungkin annoying to encik husband) yang i need certain bag for certain occasions. hahaha...i rasa semua girls pun guna alasan yang sama kan.

husband tanya, "what kind of bag do you want?". laju je i bukak internet and tunjuk gambarajah seperti di atas. dia tengok sambil lewa and then said, "hrm..ok.". ha!?ha!? ok? does he just said "ok??". ahahahaha.....terus order tanpa rasa bersalah. husband transferred duit and it was all set. so masa tu, tunggu jela yang i mampu buat.

the reason i bought this type of handbag because:
1. pengaruh by my sister in law. die banyak sangat handbag coach tapi satu pun die tak bagi i. hahaha...tapi dia mampu nak beli bermacam-macam sedangkan i?kena mintak husband belikan la...-___-
2. i suka simple design and not crowded and fancy. this signature tote ade yang leather/plain (cantik angat) tapi mahal sangat almost RM1K sebab leather kan, jadi say buhbye je la.
3. tak banyak compartment means boleh sumbat the whole thing. kalau nak compartments jugak, beli beg organizer je nanti.
4. not affordable but once in a while boleh la.


maybe this bag dah out of season, or ramai yang dah pakai ke ape, but i love it so much!! (blame my SIL...-______-) so yeay!!

thank you encik husband for the combined gift!i can't asked for more (although you dah belanje i dinner kat TGIF). semoga Allah murahkan rezeki you. i love you so much sayang...more than words can described. i akan sentiasa doakan you, every second of the day. happy anniversary (again) sayang yang ke setahun. and i doa semoga jodoh kita kekal sehingga ke syurga dan di kurniakan anak yang (ramai...heee), soleh dan solehah. love you!!

Review: Mom and Baby Expo 10 - 12 May 2013

ha, nak jugak buat review. i mean, i can't believe that actually, there will be one perfect day in my entire life, that i'll be going to mom and baby expo..hahaha. i mean, i do see myself going to wedding expo and stuff (you know as i love weddings and i want to have the perfect wedding ever hence the going-to-expo), but mom and baby expo?hikhik...i truly can't believed myself either.

so before going to any place, you should have your own objective/mission/reason on "why i have to go [insert place's name]?". same goes to myself. hikhik....you know, i had been doing my research up and down the internet (heh...macam lah busy sangat) on kedai mane yang jual barang murah, loads of choices, if i want to go for a brand/specific brand kedai mana bagus, online shop mana bagus etc etc. so after a few months doing research, i only managed to go to the expo (with encik husband) since i can't/don't want to carry heavy things, and only recently encik husband ada disisi, and also he was the one yang eagerly nak pergi expo, so yup yup yup...!

Objective
Our objective is to find:
1. Stroller
2. Baby Car Seat
3. Sterilizer and Warmer
4. Cooler Bag
5. Playpen
6. Baby carrier/ baby wearing

Review
[Stroller]
1. Not as much as what i had expected. There were a few booth (yang besar) yang solely selling their own brand of stroller such as Combi, Bumbleride, Quinny, Sweetheart, GB, Graco, Aprica, Fischer Price. itu yang booth besar. kalau booth kecik ada MacLaren, Joie, Safe n Sound, Hauck, Nuna, Mydear.
2. We had our eye on Aprica's stroller and even got a good bargain from the promoter. and baby pie's daddy also berkenan with Bumbleride Flite. but yes, we didn't buy the stroller from the expo, sebab online lagi murah kot.

 Aprica , RM1600++ (at expo approx. RM899)

Bumbleride Flite, RM1300++ (at expo approx. RM899)

[Baby Car Seat]
1. Not as much as strollers. there were a few booths selling car seat from the same brand of strollers including Fischer Price, Graco, MyDear, Sweetheart, Combi, Ferrari, Sparco, Maxi Cosi etc.
2. Range of price from RM199 to RM1000++ depending on the brand. but selalunya kitorang round kat situ, car seat yang elok were from RM299 onwards.
3. We didn't buy from the expo either.

[Sterilizer and Warmer]
1. memang i (mestilah i, encik husband by that time wouldn't have idea what is sterilizer and warmer pun...hahaha) cari sterilizer yang jual combo/package set. senang and murah.
2. brands yang i stumble upon were Avent, Little Bean, Autumnz, Mydear, and Jingle Jungle. paling murah Jingle Jungle (RM149.90) ,MyDear (RM290), Avent (RM250). tapi MyDear dapat 3 benda, can't remember what is the thing.
3. i bought Sterilizer and Warmer from LittleBean, RM150. paling murah i nampak online pun RM159.

[cooler bag]
1. i'm looking for something yang stylish and not so motherly look. but i found none. so mane yang jumpe grab jela.
2. to be safe and at that time i dah macam penat jalan-jalan, i just bought this cooler bag, RM54.90 from fabulous mom. harga sama, but this one without postage la.
3. ada bag, 6-pc jingle jungle storage bottles, and 3-pc reusable ice-packs.

[Playpen]
1. we were aiming the playpen from SweetCherry but mind you ladies, none of sweetcherry items to be found kat expo tu. tak tau kenapa.hahaha...
2. we saw a few booths selling playpen and baby cots such as mydear, tobby, esprit, and graco.
3. so kitorang beli playpen tu online jela jugak.

[baby carrier/baby wearing]
1. baby carrier banyak sangat jual kat expo ni from Ergo,i-angle, Mothercare, etc etc to name a few.
2. we are looking for Chicco baby carrier. tapi entah la tak nampak ke ape.so tak beli jugak.

[Dos and Donts]
1. Try to come as early as possible. kitorang sampai around 9.00am. parking bays masih banyak. we had our own sweet time having breakfast and all. 9.30am naek kat tempat expo bapak ramai dah sampai.hahahah....siap queued lagi nak masuk. me and encik husband??berdatingan di atas kerusi sambil cek our checklist supaya tidak membazir.
2. do your own research especially on pricing and combo package. lebih banyak murah online dari kat expo but tak dinafikan it is easy to find everything under one roof.
3. orang sangat ramai. kalau rasa diri dah sarat and tak mampu nak jalan lame, disarankan jangan datang. susah nak jumpe kerusi pun.
4. kalau boleh bawak CASH. sebab credit card will take a longer time to process the bills. i used only once for amount more than RM150. so dah boleh cut down time nak pergi hall lain. (hall ade 3 but interconnected)


so that's it. =) have fun in the next expo-ing!

Nak mintak maaf nie...

we had our monthly programme with the family (big family including nenek and uncles/aunties) to have our Yassin's Night. basically kalau ada family gathering (actually tiap minggu pun ada je perjumpaan macam makan-makan ke, celebration ke, kenduri-kendara ke), kitorang buat sekali sembahyang berjemaah ke, makan-makan, and celebration sekali macam birthdays and everything.

but semalam punya gathering inclusive:
1. birthday my sister in law
2. doa selamat for the arrival of my baby and sister in law punyer baby.
3. doa selamat untuk my sister and cousins kat all over the world yang sedang sibuk exam.
4. tahlil untuk ahli keluarga yang lain

so nenek buat for me pulut kuning and rendang daging paru limpa super sedap dengan bubur hitam putih (orang jawa selalu buat untuk doa selamat) untuk i menghadapi kelahiran. my uncle doakan bubur itu (jangan isu khurafat plak sebab doa kat bubur..hahaha) and i dengan sister in law makan dengan penuh doa supaya baby pie kitorang sihat dan proses kelahiran berjalan lancar.

menu for last night: KFC, nasi lemak bungkus, pulut kuning, rendang daging, roti john (we bought!), agar-agar merah, agar-agar santan laici, kek secret recipe, homemade red velvet cake, karipap, air sirap laici, sambal telur.

semua super sedap! =)

but there are things that i really touched by............ =)

encik husband,
sorry if i tak faham you balik kerja penat and all i want from you is your attention and undivided love. walaupun u penat, i kept on talking and kacau u as if a little girl wants the attention from the father. we had solat jemaah together and baca yassin sesama. it was a nice feeling wasn't it, although you kat depan and i kat belakang.=)

sorry i tak sempat nak amikkan you food and drinks and you went to the table all by yourself as my kaki hurt me the most nowadays. when i said "my foot hurts..." i really mean it and not being a cry-baby. and i don't even want you to rasa the sakit sebab it really hurts...especially time solat. i hope lepas baby pie keluar, it doesn't hurt me as much as right now. =)

sorry kalau selama i pregnant ni, i tak layan you as perfect as before. sebab kadang-kadang i nak bawak diri i pun tak larat, especially in the morning when i had to wake up to go to work. kalau ikot rasa hati, nak je i sambung tido and dengan you2 sekali i tarik tido, but i know kalau i buat macam tu, memang you takkan bangun...hehe...we don't want that negative attitude inherited by baby pie kan? 

oh, sorry kalau the house is not as clean as what you expected it to be, especially my bathroom. thank you sayang for spending the time and energy to clean up mine (and yours too!).

thank you semalam bukakkan jam i and all the wedding rings as i memang dah flat sangat2 that if you tak bukakkan pun, i would rather sleep than spending 30 seconds of my time bukak jam...thanks lapkan muka i dengan baby wipes (i bet kalau keluar jerawat lepas ni tau dah sebab ape)...i rasa semua yang you buat, tapi i can't even open my eyes.

sorry tak tunggu sayang nak tidur semalam, sebab the last thing i remembered was you entering the bathroom, and that's it! -_________-

sorry jugak tak sempat potongkan you mangga yang you nak tu, but i try to cut the mangga for you malam ni k?we spend the night watching movie kat living hall k as seminggu ni hari-hari kita keluar malam and balik rumah untuk tidur jer. sorry kalau you rasa i lack of kat mane-mane but everyday i tried so hard and berdoa yang i akan selalu menjadi isteri yang terbaik untuk u...=)

ok sayang...can't wait to meet you tonight...kite nak makan ape malam ni?=) i'll cook!

TGIF Alamanda, Putrajaya

Semalam we celebrated our first wedding anniversary at TGIF Alamanda Putrajaya. after i arrived at the Putrajaya Sentral, encik husband picked me and we went home for a quick changed and by 8.00pm, we already arrived at Alamanda. tak ramai orang, since yesterday's rain was quite heavy, so it was either they stuck in the jam, or they just too tired to eat outside. but lucky for us, kan? =) sebab TGIF tak penuh. there were only a few customers outside TGIF, about 2 tables, and inside, they were only 3 tables occupied.

before pergi tu, encik husband insisted on going straight to TGIF, means tak payah tukar baju la. OMG, dia tak tau ke, hello, nak pergi date kot, apakah memakai baju kerja, dah la baju kurung i ada ropol-ropol, ada ladybird dengan butterfly. euww sangat! hahahaha.....kalau pakai pergi kerja takpe la jugak, ni nak pergi date kan?hehehe...date dengan bf plak tu! ;)

encik husband taknak tukar baju kerja dia, he wanted to but too lazy to naek atas. but i don't mind at all, sebab he looked sexy and tempted pakai baju kerja.....*grrrr* so within 10 minutes i dah siap mandi, siap gosok baju, siap make-up lagi!seeeee....how fast i can be! tapi encik husband patut lebih prihatin as his wife in not in her best condition, helooooo....kite ibu nandong la! -_______-

anyway, sampai je, we made the order. i choose to eat Grilled Lamb ( around RM30++) and 7Up for drinks (RM10++). encik husband makan ape eh, burger...macam stacked burger siap ada onion ring, beef patty dengan bacon (RM30++) and pineapple juice fro drinks (RM11++).

food arrived a bit late (or perhaps kitorang kebulur sangat kot) hahaha....sampai je memang terus makan. and the food were AWESOME!!! sedap, licin, and memang noticeable that we were damn hungry and the food sangat sedap! maybe different outlet lain la kot rasanya, mestilah dah chef nyer lain tangan kan.

the last time we ate was at TGIF The Curve. i makan Sizzling Chicken with Cheese ke ape tu, dah la masin, masin as in tertumpah garam kot rasa dia. so memang i choose not to eat there. then hari tu makan kat TGIF Wangsa Walk Mall, memang super nice!i makan Tennese Burger ke ape macam tu. memang sedap!!

but personal satisfaction, i lagi suka makan Chilli's!hahaha....a bit cheaper (kot?) and the food are nice, and also selection of food kat Chilli's lebih lagi rasanya sebab ada nachos..haha...

anyway, semalam we had a great food and i had the BEST company ever, encik husband! we spent the night talking, naughtying, and playing around TGIF. surely the place was comforting enough, but having someone you love, and that you want to spend the rest of your life with ada sama dengan you, is just the greatest feeling ever!

Thank you encik husband, for bringing me to a great dine-in place, i had a great dinner, and most of all, i have you! love you so much....and baby pie say "thanks for the Grilled Lamb daddy...!!" hehehe...

Our First Wedding Anniversary!

Alhamdulilah. Alhamdulilah. Alhamdulilah.

okay. where shall i start? *excited* hikhik...

kita dah setahun kahwin!!heee...omg, cepat gila dah setahun. rasa macam baru je kahwin. baru je pindah rumah, kemas-kemas rumah and settling down. oh, patutlah rasa macam baru kahwin, sepanjang 12 bulan dah kahwin, encik husband pergi kursus 6-7 bulan, so the balance bulan i stayed alone (with my parents) without encik husband. no wonder i feel macam baru je kahwin. hikhik..

Before We Were Married
have known him for such a long time and best yet to discovered after kahwin that dia tak sama dengan masa couple dulu. erm..shall i say, masa bercinta dulu dia banyak ignored kehendak i, it seems that dia tak pernah faham i. bergaduh adalah salah satu 'keperluan' kitorang masa bercinta dulu. hahaha...for example, gaduh malam hari isnin, pagi selasa dah baik, petang selasa gaduh balik. and the cycles goes on and on and on. hahaha....but no matter what, i still love him. walau 'benci' macam mana pun i dengan perangai dia dulu, i tetap suka kat dia. suka as in, "i like him!".

Getting Married
untuk ingat balik decision untuk kahwin,bila kahwin, kat mane nak kahwin, was tough. as usual, kita perempuan menunggu dan terus menunggu until the guy say yes. bukan tak pernah bagitau encik husband suruh kahwin dengan i as we have been together for almost 8 years (masa tu) but encik husband belum ready (err im not sure financially or mentally). but after the decision was made, Alhamdulilah semua process nak kahwin tu berjalan lancar and sangat mudah. the best part was when kitorang dua bertungkus lumus dan berusaha berdua untuk menjayakan majlis perkahwinan kitorang. redah jem and jumpa vendor to get the best price/offer. rasa masa tu sifat kerjasama tu ada. terus terasa dalam hati macam, "okay, this guy was good. sure boleh menjayakan institusi kekeluargaan i...". terus.....-__________-

The Day We Were Married
hari dinikahkan was the best ever. sebab before that kitorang janji taknak jumpa for almost 2 months, konon jaga seri pengantin *tangan di bahu*. so lama gila tak jumpa. and then, masa hari nikah tu memang dup dap dup dap la. gila kau. and he looked damn handsome on the nikah day. dah la pakai baju melayu putih. cair i secair-cairnya....*nakal mode*. dengan sekali lafaz, i became his wife. masa tu memang tak dapat la nak digambarkan betapa bersyukurnya semua berjalan lancar and to be his wife (and being chosen to be his wife) i think was the greatest gift ever. i wont find someone good and kind enough like him to be my husband. i cried, because now he is my priority, my key to heaven, and i shall devoted my life to him. everything i do is for him. besar tangungjawab tu. =)

The Married Life
ha ni la yang paling seronoknya!! sebab we can do anything and everything tanpa halangan mak ayah. hahaha...we can sleep together, we can stay up/out sampai pukul2 berapa pun tanpa ada yang menghalang. spending time with him is just awesome. kat rumah , dalam kereta, kat mana-mana jer, dengan ada dia si encik husband, everything seems great and enjoyable.

kalau gaduh pun tak boleh lama-lama, sebab rumah kitorang tu sekangkang kera jer. so nak taknak mesti terserempak jugak, dah nak lari ke mana. mostly kalau gaduh pun, kitorang diam je buat kerja masing-masing. but i suka curi tengok dia. mana tahan oi. bf kita kot dalam rumah hehehe. rasa nak peluk nak mintak maaf je. tapi muka awak tu garang sangat, so nanti-nanti lah mintak maaf yer.

and lucky me, encik husband adalah jenis ringan tulang, dan pembersih. as in pembersih-nampak-meja-berabuk-pergi-dapur-amik-kain-lap-meja. i pun tak buat camtu k. i tengok-jeling-oh habuk-okay. hahaha....tapi kadang-kadang dia buat sepah jugak, lelaki dah nama nya. ada sekali tu, barang-barang ikea sampai, die guna wine rack tu jadi tempat simpan barang dia kat store. so banyaklah beg kecik-kecik barang dia dari ofis lama nak pindah ke ofis baru.

so banyak benda nak kena sorted out macam botol-botol, papers, pens....alang-alang dia tengah kemas tu, i nak jugak kemas bilik depan tu, bilik tu kitorang nak buat guest room, memang kosong jela since perabot belom beli (wahh perabot!makcik sangat), so i passed kat die barang2 tu. afterall itu pun barang2 dia kan, better die yang kemas.

tak lama lepas tu, dalam 40minits camtu i heard him saying, "Bbbbbbb!!!i pening dah nak kemas barang2 ni!!!". dia duduk kat lantai, dengan barang-barang sekeliling dia, bersepah. hahahaha......kesiannn...tu la, bila terlampau detail, terlampau nak grouping each item, kan dah buang masa dan tenaga. hahahaha...i biarkan je since i tau, die boleh je kemas, cuma perlu masa. and i helped him a bit sorting and putting things back to where it belongs.

haihhh...ni baru husband sorang je. belom ada anak lagi ni. penat jugak nak melayan kerenah sorang2...hihihih...

anyway, pagi tu bangun with a warm wishes, as we woke up pretty late. puan isteri macam biasalah, bangun jer masuk dapur. i cooked nasi ayam untuk lunch hari tu. we thought of going to a nice place for dinner, but both of us refuses. sebab semua nak balik asing untuk mengundi.

maybe we can have our little celebration later kan sayang?

so Sayang, happy first anniversary to us. i can't believe that we actually 'made' it for one year!hehehe...just to let you know, i am so so grateful that Allah grant me such a perfect husband, whom i adore so much. thank you for loving me all these years, and thank you sebab always stand by me, even if i'm wrong. i might not be the perfect wife you actually dream of, but i can be the best wife you ever had!i promised to love you and care for you in any good and worst condition, i promised to stand by your side every day and every second of your life, i promised to be your better wife through out the years, and i promised to be a good wife and mother to your kids, InsyaAllah.

and apart from that, deep down in my heart, i would like to apologize for any wrong doings, and hurtful feelings i made you. please forgive me for every bad things i did or said to you.

and lastly, promise me (and our kids) that you will always love us no matter what, that you will stay truthful and honest for as long as we live, and promise to be a good husband and a good daddy for us, and promise to take care of us ( even when mommy's gone) for as long as you live.

i love you dear husband,so much. i'll see you in Jannah once upon a time. InsyaAllah.

ps: it's either Sushi King or Chilli's or TGIF k...

Tuhan tolongggg....

i don't know what did i do to be gifted such a perfect husband. i know people do compare their husbands with others (i did that too....errrr....guilty!) but in the end, i got to know more than enough, that my husband is perfect in so many ways, that sekalipun i takkan tukar dia dengan sesiapa pun jika di beri pilihan oleh Tuhan. =)

he helped me around the house a lot, that i tak rasa "normal" guys will do. bukanlah amik kesempatan, but knowing that when i am are tired and doing household chores by myself, but in the other part of the house, encik husband pun tengah sama-sama bersihkan rumah. such a great feelings. again, kerja yang dia buat yang lelaki boleh buat, alih-alihkan furniture, angkat carpets, vacuum, lap-lap. and i buat la kerja detailing yang perempuan buat sangat hebat, membasuh, menyapu, mengemop, memasak, membasuh pinggan, menyusun barang etc etc.

memang banyak. and cuba bayangkan kalau encik husband tak tolong langsung a bit?boleh pengsan kan? lagipun encik husband memang super pembersih, so i taknak la i look dirty and lazy in front of him. malu kot.

anyway, kan last post i cakap pasal barang2 Ikea yang kitorang beli dah sampai and dah siap pasang kat rumah? so semalam baru first time i balik rumah tengok barang-barang. best sangat-sangat and our home looked like a perfect home to raise our small family. walaupun barang-barang tak banyak, murah, but still i feel with all the money, time and energy spent/invested to the house, insyaAllah semoga dapat segalanya diberkati Allah.

semalam encik husband pasang kan cover Klippan, alihkan furniture, and both of us sama-sama susun story book and magazines in Billy bookcase. whoahh...dah ade bookcase semangat sikit nak buat reading. cuma encik husband cakap, "banyak lah furniture i nak kena lap...". hahaha...so cute!

and semalam, he kept on saying, "kaki sakit...". we walked a lot semalam. pagi ada paintball game, panjat bukit. then we went to OU, jalan-jalan g shopping mall. he drove around KL to home, malam kemas rumah, definitely kaki akan sakit. i lagi la sakit sebab bawak baby pie ke hulur ke hilir, except driving. but kita perempuan kuat sikit kan, lelaki ni memang manja.

so i amik minyak panas and wanted to urut his feet. he refuses. dia cakap dia yang patut urut kaki i instead of me urut-ing kaki dia. but i'm okay. urut in couple of minutes, and i tengok dia pun dah ngantuk-ngantuk, by 11pm kitorang tidur.

i was having so much fun spending my Labour day dengan dia. kate pun dia bf kita kan, definitely spending the hours with him will be great and tau-tau je dah malam. time flies so fast nowadays, but still i look forward living, fighting, and exploring things with him. with baby pie coming the way, life couldn't be better. =)

Honeypot Wax Boutique @ One Utama

ahh, finally after such a long time, i decided to have my waxing session. this is due to i-will-get-into-labour in one month time, so having my 'down' there clean and not like reserved jungle is a must. hahahaha... so anyway, i didn't get paid to make this review, but i feel i need to share some information with my sisters as i know, we want to find a place that is cheap, convenient, hygienic,professional, and nice. kan?

so the last time i went for a Brazillian wax was at Glitters, Bangsar Village. itupun sebab my sister who is a regular customer there, and dah biasa with the people and the process, and also the pricing. so i just followed her. compared to Honeypot, Braz-wax at Glitters were more gentle and the therapist knows which part that need to be care the most, as there are some part that have soft and thin skin. so kat situ memang "ouucchhh!!" a bit.

but since my sister is not here in Malaysia (if not i dah pergi dengan dia), and i don't think encik husband would like to go through all the massive madness jam roads to bangsar, so i searched for a nearer place and convenient enough for us to go there.

so, yup. Honeypot Wax Boutique! read a few reviews and im ready to go!

i went there on the 1st of May, so it was a public holiday. bapak jammed all over! appointment was set at 4.00pm, i only managed to do my session at 5.00pm. nasib tak ramai sangat orang yang ada appointment on that day, but still i had to wait for 10-15minits. and luckily they don't cancel my appointment.

the first thing to do when we arrived is to fill some form of your basic details, just some general question, such as do you have any allergic with some solutions, or do you have any skin problems etc etc. then, they will confirm with you which type of services you choose.

next your beautician/therapist will assist you to the room. they will leave you for 5 minutes for you to take off your bottom-wear, leaving you half-naked. don't feel shy, because it is just a normal procedure. then when they want to enter the room they will ask you, "mem, are you ready?". just say "yes...". ahahaha...itu pun nak bagitau. hikhik...

then the process begin!! just follow the instructions yang therapist tu bagi, such as, bend your leg, cross your leg. alright-THE PAIN? well, as my pain threshold is quite high, i don't feel that enough pain to make me go screaming and crying along the process. hahaha...but hurt enough to make me go sweating. hihihihi...and the most hurting was when i waxed off the center of the private part, which have the softest and the thinnest skin.

but yang lain-lain; OKAY!

level of pain: 3/10- except for the center part- 6/10...hihihi...

the process went on for 30-45minutes, depending on the condition of your hair.

so anyway, i went for Hollywood Wax, and it cost me RM108. well, i was satisfied with the process, and everything!fully recommended and definitely i will go back for their services.
