Bipppppp... all wrong!

They were actually reciting Quran.

Senangnya lah kan sekarang ni. Semua pakai henpon/tablet je. Btw, my favorite Quran app is iQuran~Pro.

Mood: Mengantuk nak EL tapi cuti dah banyak ambik sedangkan baru 1/2 tahun.

A Baby Spoon of Honey

Lately, berebut sudu ketika menyuapkan Honey makan memang dah jadi perkara biasa. Orang nak suap dia, tangan dia sibuk nak capai sudu. Berlaku lah adegan rampas merampas. Honey rampas sudu, aku rampas balik. Dah lah genggaman dia boleh tahan kuat.

Biasanya, lepas selesai makan, I'll give her the spoon. Good to develop her motor skill & practice her hand coordination I guess.

Inilah budak kecik yang keriangan dapat main sudu...

Finally...

The official Blogger app from Google has arrived. This post is published using the app.

Hmmm looks like I'll stick with Blog.It! in the mean time. That's my favorite app to write a blog. But have to understand a bit html in order to use the app. I think it's more powerful. I like the preview features & the labels can be selected from the existing labels. The pics can be centered & rearranged according to our preference. Hence, just like my post yang sebelum2 ni.

For picture editing, I just use the existing Samsung app called Photo~editor kalau nak edit simple je & handwritten the watermark. Now I use Add~Watermark... so simple,automatik je add watermark dari picture explorer. To explore pics,I use Quick.pic. Kalau nak buat collage I'll use either Pics.Art or Photo~Grid. Besides the original camera by Samsung, I like using Camera.360 to snap a pic.

Ok, that's how I write a blog simply using my android. So easy resulting in frequent update ;-).

Last but certainly not least, Honey says hi...

Ermm... Nak pegi ke tak nak???

Kalau pegi dapat:
> menyihatkan & menguruskan badan
> kenal jiran/komuniti setempat

So? Ermm...

Durian Frenzy

Pesta buah kembali lagi. Just like last year...


Tapi tahun ni macam tak berapa sedap duriannya. Aku pun la ni kurang lalu makan kesan dari diarrhea kelmarin.

Countless Trips To The Loo

Ketaq lutut acik dibuatnya. Penat asyik ke toilet. Rasa lah kurus skit & kempis perut ni.

JD was on medical leave yesterday due to high fever. Tak suka bila 1 of us is sick sebab maknanya yang sakit tu tak larat sangat nak jaga Honey. But it's still ok. Yang penting salah sorang sihat.

What's the odd of both of us are sick? I was well yesterday until at ~4pm perut start memulas. Sampai je rumah, terus rush ke toilet & the countless trips to the loo begun. Somehow I suffered from diarrhea & I guess that was the worst diarrhea that I had ever suffered. If I have to describe it, I'll say I defecate like a waterfall & vomit like a fountain. Ok, it might sounds gross.

So, both of us were sick last night. Fortunately, Honey had been a very good baby. She played alone, takde ehek ehek kebosanan & nak main dengan Papa. At 10pm, I went to the bed. Seram sejuk rasa badan walaupun by that time the urge to go to the loo had subsided. At 1am, I took over taking care of Honey.

Alhamdulillah we survived the night. Last night, memang rasa maybe tak larat nak gi keje hari ni. Tapi turn out larat gak walaupun terlewat bangun. So pagi tadi tak sempat nak mandikan Honey sebelum gi taska.

However, right at this moment, rasa macam lembik lah balik lutut ni. I know that I have to drink lots of water since I loss much yesterday.

Ring Sling (untuk dijual)

Ni lah dia... bila tengok orang lain pakai, teringin gak. Sebab tu beli ring sling ni...


Credit to ManjakuHappy.com. Can check the website on how to wear a ring sling.
Actually I was looking for a comfortable-practical-good babywear. I already knew at the 1st place that my preference is soft-structured carrier (SSC) but I just couldn't make up my mind which SSC should I buy. So many brands of SSC out there. However, somehow I'm interested with Ergo^baby or other brands that are on par. I have to say the price is expensive for my budget that I have to really survey which SSC that suits me best. In the meantime, I guess I should just settle with ring sling. Actually I was looking for a cheap ring sling, ~RM50, since I know that I won't wear it for long. I didn't even mind if it was used, but I failed to find 1 & ended up buying a new ring sling as in the above pic.

I like the ring sling. It's so easy to wear & Honey seems comfortable in it. However, just a few weeks after buying the ring sling, I found the SSC that fulfill my criteria. It's the Beco Gemini SSC! Just google & you'll find a lot of results. 1 of them is this review - Best Carriers. Why did I choose Beco? Maybe I'll write about it in the future post.

Ok, back to the ring sling. Certainly I don't need 2 babywears since I hardly wear 1. Still, a stroller is my 1st choice for outing. So now, I'm letting go the ring sling. I'm sure many cool mommies out there prefer this type of babywear or like to have both ring sling & SSC.

The ring sling is still new. I never wear it outside the house. In fact I just wore it less than 1 hour, inside the house. I'm letting go the ring sling for RM66, excluding postage. COD area B.B.Bangi. Ya, saya nak jual pada harga RM66, tak termasuk pos. Ada sesiapa nak beli? Sila tinggalkan komen ok atau boleh email juzemel@gmail.com.

10 Years!

Just a short entry.

Hari ni genap 10 tahun aku telah bekerja di sini. Even it's basically not my dream job, but still bearable ;-). Most of the time I'd say it's a challenging job since I have to keep up with the current & advanced technology, be innovative & read a lot of papers! This job requires me to never stop learning... have I mention that I need to read a lot of papers? Not just papers, whether technical or fundamental... the reading materials include books, articles & anything related to the projects. Maybe I should use the word 'studying' instead of 'learning' since I actually open the books in order to gain more knowledge & understanding on some topics.

Eh, kata short entry tadi.

*Typing fastly* It can be fun too especially when I got the chance to travel & stay at other countries. However, now since I have Honey, going oversea isn't the thing that I'm looking forward to. Kalau terpaksa, baru apply & pergi unless the period of stay is less than 1 month.

Ok nak sambung study keje...

8 Months!

Macam tak percaya hari ni Honey dah genap 8 bulan. Just 4 months left before Honey celebrates her 1st birthday. Pejam celik, pejam celik je tu.

= Honey dah cekap mengesot.

= Still learning to sit & climb.

= Tak kuat makan. I already introduced fish & chicken.

= Average milk intake ~26oz a day. At least 18oz during the day at the nursery.

= Still wake up at night to have milk.

= Still can't sleep on her own.

= Talk in her own language.

= Belum tumbuh gigi but in the process of teething. Now we rely on Dentinox to soothe her gum.

= Masih pakai lampin saiz S (PetPet & MamyPoko). Yup, Honey is a tiny baby. Tu pun aku rasa dah penat nak dukung ke hulu ke hilir. But I guess next stock of disposable diapers need to be M in size.

= Telah dikhatankan di Poliklinik AnNur, Presint~Diplomatik pada 2 Jun yang lalu.

= Demam pada hari Khamis lepas, tapi Jumaat dah kebah. Hari Sabtu, paediatrician at AnNur had confirmed that Honey had been infected with HFMD. A minor one. However contradict to our belief that the patient needs to be quarantine, the paed said it's ok to send her to the nursery since the virus can't be transferred by skin contact. Tapi aku still cuti untuk jaga Honey.

This is 8-months old Honey...


Hi, today I'm 8-months old. Mama said I'm already a big baby girl, so tak boleh banyak songeh.. kene belajar tidur sendiri tak payah nak ditepuk/didodoi/dibuai, makan banyak2 & tidur malam straight sampai pagi. Mama Honey demand kan? :-P
Nampak bintik merah kat dahi Honey? Tu bukan bintat kene gigit nyamuk. Paed kata tu sebab HFMD.
Ha... nampak tak mainan kat belakang Honey tu? Tu Mama beli semalam, hadiah sempena birthday Honey yang ke 8-bulan.

Honey's Diary written by Mama: Balik Kampung

Jumaat, May 25

Pas balik keje, sampai je rumah, Mama terus pack barang. Papa masih sibuk monitor orang pasang awning kat porch tapi terpaksa gak layan Honey sebab Mama banyak keje. Rupanya 2 hari gak nak siap pasang awning. Target bertolak pas Maghrib. Tapi pas Isyak baru settle semua. Honey pun dah tertidur. Tu pun Mama & Papa tak sempat dinner. Cian, Papa mesti lapar. Mama takpe sebab Mama on diet *mata ke atas*. Pukul 9pm sampai umah Nenek. Terus bertolak ke Taiping. Ini perjalanan pertama Honey ke Taiping. Nasib baik bertolak malam. So most of the time Honey tido aje.

Sabtu, May 26

Pukul 1am baru Honey sampai rumah Opah. Dah lama tak jumpa Opah. Last jumpa masa Honey umur 1 bulan. La ni Honey dah 7 1/2 bulan pun dah. Opah dukung Honey. Honey suka aje orang dukung Honey. Pastu Opah masak mee goreng. So Mama & Papa supper mee goreng. Lewat Honey tido... ~2am.

Waktu petang, Papa bawak kitorang ke Kuala~Sepetang. Mama ingatkan ada pantai kat situ, tapi takde pun rupanya. Papa tanya nak makan mee udang tak... semua jawab tak mau. Pastu kami ke pekan Taiping. Tak buat apa pun, tengok2 baju je. Yay, Nenek belikan Honey gown & bola.

Oh ya, di rumah Opah, Honey tunjuk skill mengesot. Honey mengesot dari ruang tamu sampai dapur. Kat rumah Honey belum pernah mengesot sejauh ni. Hehee saje nak tunjuk skill depan ramai orang. Kalau kat rumah, Mama & Papa berdua je.

Ahad, May 27

Hari ni kami dah nak balik dah. Opah ikut sekali. Target pukul 9am, tapi pukul 9:15 baru kuar rumah. Ok lah tu, lewat 15 minit je. Mama kita memang cekap pack barang.

Tapi kami tak balik KL terus. Kami singgah di kampung Sabak Bernam untuk attend kenduri kahwin sepupu Mama. Ini pun pertama kali Honey balik kampung sini. Tapi Mama tak bawak pun Honey gi kenduri. Mak Mok & Akak Nurul yang bawak. Alah, rumah kenduri tu belakang rumah nenek Mama aje.

Balik kenduri, Honey main kejap sambil dengar sedara-mara borak. Lama2 Honey pun tertidur. Tengah sedap tidur, Mama kejutkan sebab nak teruskan perjalanan ke KL untuk hantar Opah. Kiranya hari ni Honey berjalan je. Sampai rumah pukul 8:30pm. Pas mandi, minum susu, terus Honey tidur.

-----
Itu lah kisah pertama kali Honey balik kampung. Mama kata Honey tak reti behave dalam kete... sampai 1 masa tak mahu dipegang... sibuk nak baring, berguling & menonggeng. Nampak gaya selagi Honey lasak macam ni, tak dapat lah Mama nak bawak jalan jauh2 & naik flight yang long-haul. Eleh, Mama cakap je... mana ada Mama ada plan nak bawak Honey jalan jauh2 pun.

Honey seronok dapat jalan2. Alhamdulillah, Honey tak demam pun. Mama takut hari Isnin Honey cranky kat taska sebab Ahad tu sepanjang hari berjalan tapi Cikgu cakap Honey ok je. Mama je yang terlebih risau. Yang sedihnya kan, 1 gambar pun Mama takde snap. At least amik lah gambar Honey dengan Opah & Nenek. Mama boleh tak teringat langsung. Papa pun sama. Nama je pakai henpon canggih. Eh... membebel plak. Ok lah, sekian dulu cerita Mama Honey.

Talking About Me & Myself

Pernahkan anda merasa boring dengan diri anda sendiri? Pada tika & saat ini, saya sedang merasainya. Saya boring dengan perut saya yang buncit & koleksi pakaian serta tudung di dalam almari. Saya teringin nak bertukar imej dengan memakai selendang. Tapi masa yang cukup limited di waktu pagi tidak mengizinkan saya untuk melilit selendang di kepala. Mungkin saya hanya memerlukan koleksi pakaian & tudung yang baru. Rasa nak amik plastik sampah & campak semua baju dalam almari ke dalam plastik sampah tu. Tapi saya tak boleh turutkan hati, nanti saya tak ada baju nak pakai gi kerja esok & hari2 yang seterusnya.

Lately saya rasa saya terlalu rancak berbelanja. Awning di porch dah siap dipasang. Kosnya mencecah beribu2 RM kerana ditambah lapisan PU bagi menyerap haba & bunyi. Semalam kami telah ke kedai perabot untuk membeli kerusi untuk diletakkan di porch. We ended up buying a double sitter sofa worth RM950. Ya, hanya 1 kerusi tapi harganga hampir mencecah RM1k... untuk diletakkan di luar rumah bagi kucing terbiar menumpang tidur & berkemungkinan besar akan dijadikan tandas sekali bagi kucing tersebut.

Errr kalau nak cerita aktiviti pembaziran yang lain, boleh jadi menyesal & makan hati plak nanti. Actually barang2 yang dibeli memang diperlukan. Cuma ada pilihan yang murah & munasabah pada dompet sendiri, tapi yang mahal (based on my budget) tu jugak yang berkenan di hati. Jadi cukup2 lah berbelanja. Niat untuk buka wardrobe baru terpaksa ditunda. Pakai je lah apa yang ada. :(

Btw, last week had been a hectic week for Honey & us. Nak juga cerita pasal Honey. I might sound like I'm obsessed with my lil Honey, kalau ya pun tak salah kan... anak sendiri, sorang lak tu. But actually I'm not. I only talk/write about Honey frequently here, terpulanglah kalau ada yang nak membaca. Takde lah setiap kali berbual, mesti nak cerita pasal Honey. Kalau camtu, mau naik kematu telinga yang terpaksa mendengar benda yang sama hampir setiap hari.

Just now, JD interrupted me by asking about Masterchef~Celebriti yang sedang ditayangkan...
JD: Masterchef ni start bila sebenarnya?
Me: Hari Sabtu.
JD: Apasal kita tak tengok semalam?
Me: Kita tengok lah semalam, yang diorang masak ikan haruan tu.

Pastu JD macam tak puas hati dengan jawapan aku.
JD: Sape terkeluar yang ni?
Me: Mana tau lagi... ni yang latest.
JD: Ohh... kalau camtu setiap hari Ahad lah.
Me: Bukan... cerita ni hari Sabtu, Ahad, Isnin, Selasa... 4x seminggu (actually aku pun tak sure, tapi yang pasti lebih dari sehari lah seminggu.)
JD: Ohh... patut lah, ingat sekali seminggu.
Me: (Patut lah macam tak paham2.)
Ini namanya minor miscommunication. ;)

Pada aku Masterchef~Malaysia so far, whether for celebrity or non-celebrity adalah tak berapa best compare to Masterchef~US or Australia. Tu yang sambil tengok, main henpon, update blog. Rekod pun tak.

Ok lah, nak pack barang Honey ke taska esok...
