Rahsia Perfume

Holla!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil adha. Raya kt KL ni xdela meriah sgt..yg bestnye jln lengang. Today tips ialah psl perfume. I ni sgt gile kan perfume actualy. So agak excited la skit cite psl perfume ni hehe. Yesterday I went to Mid Valley. Alone. Shopping raya but more to Zara's stuff. Time nak balik tu ade amoi tu tahan I tuk cuba perfume. Hurm disebabkan masih awal, so I stop by la kejap. Best jugeks! CUba korang teka mommy beli ke idah perfume tu? Ahaks!! Itu x penting, yg penting mommy nk share some interesting tips pasal perfume ni. Some of you maybe know it already. Well, its ok.. Sharing is caring kan.

Always be my favorite ...ngehngehngeh..kotak lama lum bukak da tmbh baru ;p

Tips untuk membezakan perfume tiruan and original. Sebenarnya yang ajar I ni ialah seorang promoter di kaunter perfume mana ntah. Lupa sudah sebab it was a long time ago. Terima kasih kepada insan tersebut kerana telah menyampaikan ilmu yang berguna. Thought that I'd share so you guys won't get cheated by any unauthorized perfume dealer in future.

Mari bereksperimen bersama Mommynye Zara =)

1. Ambil botol perfume
2. Terbalikkan botol itu (Turn the bottle upside down)
3. Goncang laju-laju (Shake it)
4. Nanti akan keluar buih (Bubble will appear)
5. Apabila buih sudah keluar, lihat pula masa yang diambil untuk buih tersebut hilang.

Hypothesis : Semakin cepat buih hilang daripada pandangan mata anda, semakin tiruan perfume itu.

Penjelasan : Buih cepat hilang kerana ratio kandungan solute dan solution di dalam perfume itu adalah sangat berbeda. Dalam erti kata lain, perfume itu banyak di campur air. Kerana itu, ia dipanggil tiruan kerana ia cair dan tidak tahan lama. Jikalau perfume original, buihnya mengambil masa yang agak lama untuk hilang kerana ratio kandungan solute dan solutionnya tidak jauh berbeda (pekat).

Untuk melihat perbezaan yang ketara, sila bandingkan buih perfume RM35 dengan perfume RM250. Then you got what I mean. Selain itu, anda harus membandingkan perfume dengan perfume (EDP). Bukan perfume dengan Eau de Toilette (EDT) mahupun Body Mist. Ini kerana setiap satunya mempunyai concentration value yang berbeza.

There you go. Now go and get your mummy perfume and try this cool experiment ! Happy Eid Adha Everybody! We’re trying to be a smart consumer nowadays right? Now its the time ^_^

Salam Aidiladha

Assalamualaikum mommies n mommies to be. Selamat hari raya aidil adha..korban apa tahun ni? Pheww...setiap kali raya haji kami hanya sambut kt KL je.

In Love with KFC Double Down!

Danggg! I've cheated on my diet. Ni semua gara2 pengaruh rakan sebaya muahahha. Just kidding. Al kisahnya, mommy baru try KFC Zinger Double Down lastweek. Itupun tergerak sebab aku tengok gambar upload member aku berserta caption "my 9th time ate Double Down!". So pegi la mommy terkedek2 cuba beger ni. That time rasa biasa je mcm zinger tp xde roti. Sedap mmg la sedap coz i'm crazy bout chicken kan. But then again, hari ni dalam sejarah, enta mcm mana leh teringat KFC double down ni..at 3 PM. Cam pelik kot..baru lepas lunch n minum petang pon blom time lagi.

Tgh duk landing2 ats katil tu blh pulak terbayang2 double down kepsi ni. Herm..dalam pada duk update status Facebook, tetiba comment2 menjadi rancak lak with my crazy fun friend who loves KFC most especially Effa, Mimie and Cut Fa. Huiiiii we all kalo bercakap psl makanan mmg kalah a Iqram dinzly JJCM tu..kihkihkih. Perasaan nk melantak double down semakin menjadi2 tapi KEMALASAN yg tahap gaban tu membantut kan hasratku (chewah). Kenapa la KFC ni xnak wat service delivery. Sure dpt byk permintaan punye!

Namun, tepat jam 4 petang, mommy tewas! Terus sarung jeans, capai mana je t-shirt yg sempat, sarung tudung express (time tu da x pikir matching ke x mathcing kaler ngn baju), capai kunci kete, purse..then Zasss! Dah sampai kt KFC Tmn Sg. Besi..Org x ramai, great! Cepat je queue tp nk tunggu double down masak lama la plak..dekat 15minit baru dpt..phew~ Take away aje mls nk lepak sowang2 kt kepis Zara Delisha masih kt Nursery so balik mamam kt umah smbil tengok cite korea lg syok! Muahahahha!

Ok, nape mommy beriya2 sgt pasal double down (DD) ni? Well,yang specialnya mengenai KFC Double Down ni, bila makan burger, apa yang paling best sekali adalah bila gigit je DD tu, dapat rasa semua bahan dia bergaul dalam mulut .Roti...cheese...mayonis....daging....sayur....just perfect!Sedap. Mmg kena ngan cogan kata kepsi : "Sedap hingga menjilat jari". Opsss, Mr.Papa da majuk sbb balik keje tgk plastik kepsi je yg tinggal isi xde..muahahha sory la encik suami, esok dinda beli lagi DD untukmu (and untukku jua) LOL

Ok. Bai. ZD da mintak susu ;p

Sleeping Beauty n the Measels

ZD Seminggu sebelom campak menyerang: tggu papa balik keje pon sempat lg wat taik mata dlm kete ;p

Zara Delisha has always been a good sleeper since he was born. Although we started quite late in establishing a strict bedtime routine for her (I think we started roughly when she was 4 months or so), she would always sleep through the night (with the occasional once or twice night feed demands during growth spurts), then she will wake up at 6.00 am- for her early morning feed, after which she will fall right back to sleep until 8.00 am- (when Mr. Papa gets ready for work), sometimes 9.00 am.

But since ZD got measels (Demam Campak) lately, system tidur nya terganggu. Well, a bit weird la kan

pada usia genap 6 bulan, ZaraDelisha dijangkiti virus campak. Kira kategori awal juga lah, sebab mummy nya kene campak masa sekolah rendah (sudah lupa umur berapa haha). Patut la lastweek bila Zara demam, suhu badan dia sgt panas 38c rupaya virus campak menyerang. Byk rashes merah kecik2 timbul kt muka n badakSusah juga kalo parent muda mcm we all ni xde pengatahuan. We dont event know the symptom of measels. Kata org, anak demam campak jgn bagi makan ubat sbb akn menghalang campak tu nak keluar.Selagi x keluar abis akan bahayakan nyawa baby.  Adusss..mommy n papa ni mmg xtau menahu pon psl ni jenuh la duk bagi zara mkn ubat..makin panas badan dia makin kerap ubat kami bagi. Kesian.... After few days bila da bgtau famly dorang ckp itu demam campak then baru we all stop bg ubat.

Stay nearby dengan Famly ni byk faedahnya bg parent muda mcm kami ni. Serba serbi tak tau kan.

MIL byk bg petua2 yg bernas. Untuk demam campak ni, ada beberapa petua yg kita leh cuba:

1- Jangan mandikan anak guna sabun. Mandi koboy je still bersih sbb baby sentiasa wangi.

2- Jangan letak losyen atau bedak di badannya selepas mandi.Bedak yg jenis berubat tu takpe
3- Jangan bagi kena hujan (takut berparut).

4- Jangan makan kicap (ni kalau anak dah besar laa...)

5- Jangan bagi makan sebarang ubat (takut campak tu nak keluar, tapi terhalang dengan ubat, lagi bahaya kalau dia tak habis keluar)

6- Biar campak keluar habis. Cara nak cam dah habis keluar ialah bintik2 merah tu dah sampai ke kaki.

7 - Bila dah habis semua rashes campak tu, boleh lah mandikan dengan dua jenis air iaitu;  air kelapa dan kemudiannya air perahan baju papa nya. Baju yang bersih ok, bukan baju yang dipakai ms cuci kereta, ms g kerja ke, ms main futsal ke..bukan yg tu ya! Pastikan bersih.

ZD: Maintain cute wpon demam campak ;p

Today, 21/10/2012 (Ahad), Zara Delisha demam sudah kebah, ruam campak pon da semakin berkurangan.. papa nya kata dah boleh mandi kan dengan air kelapa ni..tapi dari pg ke petang hujan je manjang, papa xjadi kua bli kelapa. Ingtkan nk mandikan dia ngan baju papa, alih2 papa tertidor daa! Syok kan hujan2 ni.

Another tip nak share..baby kalu demam kalu boleh jgn bg pakai baju sbb kalu panas sgt akan menyebabkan sawan. Better kalu demam just pakaikan pampers jer than slimut dgn lampin.. pastu siram air kat kepala sntiasa untuk kuarkan haba panas.

Phew~ Ni baru cabaran kecil dlm membesarkan anak. Moga kami diberi kekuatan untuk menjadi parent yg TERBAIK  buat Zara Delisha Zaidi. Amin..~

Migraine kena Inject kaa??

I've been suffering from a migraine all day . Had to work today, hard to do everything, and it made my day absolutely excruciating. Even the smallest task seemed overwhelming.It all starts with blurred vision, it is like looking a a ceiling fan a swirling motion, headache and I am unable to focus on anything. I am sensitive to sound kind of like being in a tunnel also if the migraine gets really bad I will get numbness in my hands and in my face I have no problem with light like most people....it is over in about 30 minutes...Some time get sick to my stomach and have an aching body soreness on the right temple and pressure on one side of my head....I have started having migraines every day now for the last 4 days...anyone out there have the same kind of symptoms that i do? I do not know what triggers my migraines they just come on...One time I felt sick for three days. Rasa ngeri ditusuk dengan jarum pada sebelah kepala dan merebak ke bahagian hidung dan sekitar mata.Senakkkk gile! 

Normally, when I get a migraine the only thing to do is to go home to bed and sleep it off. Don't keep trying to keep up with others who are not sick at all and don't try to continue with all the work you have to do, just focus on getting better. For me, migraines last a least three days but if I don't go straight to bed they last longer. avoid watching tv and reading. Thats worked for me but today don't know why I'm forcing myself to keep doing office work. Oh my.. Couldn't sleep at all. So, I went to clinic last night at Sri Petaling Poliklinik Kumpulan City) at 3.30 am! The doctor gave me 1 injection and few pills. Unfortunately, i got big bruise after injection and make my arm swollen. Until today, feels like my arm paralysed  Damn..am i allergic to that medicine? Hopefully no. But the good news is, all headache and migraine are gone! Yeay!

Let me share with you some information about Migraine. From my readings, Migraine headaches and symptoms can be triggered by foods, sleep patterns, hormone imbalance, caffeine, and may produce severe throbbing migraine pain.A migraine is a severe, painful headache that is often preceded or accompanied by sensory warning signs such as flashes of light, blind spots, tingling in the arms and legs, nausea, vomiting, and increased sensitivity to light and sound. The excruciating pain that migraines bring can last for hours or even days. Migraine headaches result from a combination of blood vessel enlargement and the release of chemicals from nerve fibres that coil around these blood vessels. During the headache, an artery enlarges that is located on the outside of the skull just under the skin of the temple (temporal artery). This causes a release of chemicals that cause inflammation, pain, and further enlargement of the artery. Physical or emotional stress are identified as major causes of migraine.

Well peeps, You can read more on www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/default.htm to gets more details info of headache and migraine.

Kejayaan itu milik Gelombang Merah

Pheww..persoalan siapa yg mnjadi bakal juara piala malaysia sudah terjawab! Ternyata kejayaan itu milik The Red Warrior! Aura gelombang merah mmg power! Haha wpon mommy ni x minat sgt pon bola tp berbangga la TRW menang. Sangat bangga. Omo ate omo! Wpon agak gusar sikit pada mulanya ramai yg menyangka kelate akn kalah d tangan ATM tp ttp positif. Tak kurang juga ada yg meramal bhw klate jual game kt ATM kerana atas titah agung yg inginkan piala..ternyata semua itu tidak. Para pemain masih lg punyai jati diri yg kuat..bersikap professional dan semangat juang utk negeri Kelantan Darul Naim yg permai ttp tinggi.

Nor Shahrul Idlan Talaha sememangnya hero TRW kerNa jasanya yg menjaringkan 2 gol dan telah dinobatkan Man of the match. Cayalah Matyo! ^__^

Somoga tahun depan piala malaysia menjadi milik TRW sekali lagi. Amin..insyaallah..

Roti bakar Neslo panas!

Oh..I think I'm still adicted to milo..yeah..even I've made Neslo (nescaffe + milo) for breakfast..but still milo kan..muahaha. arghh u just can't help it. Yesterday I told myself have to slowly cut down of milo intake..well mmg milo bagus utk kesihatan kan..it boost ur energy. But for somewhat reason..I have to slow down as I'm having problem with digestion lately. Coz selalunya cocoa based drinks ni ssh sikit nk hadam. Hurmmm its time get my value back..xpe herbal life F1 shake choco flavor masih ada..lagi bagus dari milo muahaha...

Errk..but today rasa mcm nk minum neslo lg la...its cloudy outside..mcm nak hujan kan..so hujan2 ni sedap gak minum neslo as minum petang.

Bila anaknda puteri demam...~

Zara Delisha demam lagi..isk isk isk..pity her..luckily mommy off today.. Actually mommy bit worry bout u ZD.. worry bout ur imunity system..worry bout u loosing your appetite recently. Susu x abis minum..cereal x nak makan. Haihhh… brough her to clinic for checkup n doc said her fever was high (38°c) got sakit tekak som more..no wonder la x lalu mkn. Hurm MIL said its bcos of hormonal changes. She's 6month old now ..bak kata org tua2-beralih bulan.That's why she offently get sick. Well mommy pon x tau sejauh mana kebenaranya. But according to doctor its because of unstable wheather.. may true. Udara kt Malaysia skg ni kotor la..jerebu lg. Kejap hujan kejap panas.. Zara' cousin, Asyraf Hadi also got fever n flu rightnow. So its fit with the fact of wheather isn't it..

Get well soon dear.. mommy miss ur  laugh n smiles..her 6month immunisation vaccine postponed for a while until fully recover. Haih...ya Allah jauhilah puteri ku dari sebarang bahaya malapetaka..amin..~

My Chickiboo BamBam dah 6months old!

Holla,

Oh, ZaraDelisha my lil' darling chickiddo turns 6 months today! Time sure flies doesn't it? Onother half year to complete her first year milestone. Alhamdulillah..we're proud to be Zara's parent. Berjaya membesarkan dia selama 6 bulan ni she's very good girl..jarang menyusahkan mommy n papa dia ni..Only a few weeks ago I was feeding her with her first cereal wheat honey porridge (which she loved haha). Now the lil' monster is eating almost everything! Just kidding! I tak nak introduce banyak2 sangat food kat ZD..kang obes plak muahahaha. But since last 3 days, her poopoo mcm something wrong..its very slushy..sloppy and green! Cuak la kan tetiba sangat cair. Then I stop feeding her with that cereal coz mr.Hubby said, it might be coz of the food she took..(yeap we only feed her with that cereal besides FM..so boleh jadi sebab jgak kan).

Some of you may wonder what my lil' Zara Delisha has been up to these days. Oh well, besides crawling all over the house, trying to grab everything along the way, attempting to stand on her own without holding on to anything, toys, which more often that not resulting in her tumbling down, then later screaming for attention, she is also quite busy exploring and experimenting with every little thing that she sees and touches. If she's interested in something, she will stare at it, lick it, hold on it, and when he's no longer interested, she'll just throw them away or kadang2 wat tak tauuuu je. ^_^

Her other milestones include:

Play around with her fingers than chocked herself
Pick up tiny objects using her thumb and forefinger
Say 'mam' (me) ^_^
Stand alone momentarily
Understands 'no' (but does not always obey it)
Look for any dropped and moving object
Object when we try to take something away from him
Holding on to a furniture (cruising) on bendwon
Drink from a bottle independently (when she's in the mood)
Sway her head and body back and forth, side to side when she hears music or when we sing haha so cute

Mommy & MILO..Aduhaii ketagih la pulak!

 Ketagihan terbaru saye ;p

Milo is very popular in Malaysia, where the brand name is synonymous with chocolate flavored drinks. I'm not saying I have a food addiction but the hot Milo continues to haunt me. And now, if I don't have it at least once a week, i feels like something uneasy. Hahahahah parah kan. Tambah2 bila hari hujan..sejuk2 camtu dapt hot milo..perghh feels like I'm in paradise. Is anyone else addicted to MILO? I wonder what they put in there sampai I ketagih sangat ni..huhuhu T-T.

Just so you know, Milo is one of my favourite hot drinks. Good for getting the energy up. I probably have 1-2 milos a day. I tell myself that since one cup of milo has more iron in it than steak it is *good* for me. Sometimes, I like putting a banana in a blender with ice cream, milk and heaps of milo for more variety.
When I was pregnant I was addicted to ice magic ice cream topping. Somepeople said Milo is not good for your healty. A relative of mine had warn me before when I'm pregnant that I had better watch my sugar intake coz according to her Milo is about 45-50% sugar. The addiction is probably a sugar addiction which fuels energy highs and lows. Then she ask me to try eating some fruit in place of a Milo and see if it makes
any difference. Yeah..its true but furits also got sugar..haha. I know i cannot drink so much Milo a day as it is so sweet , I will easily get diabetes . But I just can't help it la ^__^

But nothing to worry, I've consulted with doctor, my blood sugar level is at normal level. Just monitor my sugar intake, bukan saja dalam minuman tp juga makanan. I always talk to myself that " I'm getting plenty of nutrients from milo, plus the energy that my brain needs to function. Well, it much better than being addicted
to caffein kan.As long as you're getting plenty of exercise, your 8 cups should be fine. Normally, I akan ambik 2liter air putih per day untuk flush balik ^_^.

Hurm... the keyword here is, take as much sweet drinks as you want, but balanced it by drinking a lots of water..3Liter per day is the best! Jagalah kesihatan Anda. Maybe someday your kids will love it more than you do :p

Heel Oh Heel..Why you are in Pain??? Why?

Argghhh Heel pain! Sakit tumit sangat mengganggu prestasi kerja harianku! Syuhhh go away..I dont need you.. Well have you ever get this pain after giving birth? Im referring to mommies yang pernah mengalaminya la..

Heel Pain, in a scientific term, called as PLANTAR fasciitis. In the morning, heel pain is often at its peak immediately after getting out of bed. After a long night's sleep, this pain can be almost unbearable. To achieve temporary relief from heel pain, icing the inflamed area or taking anti-inflammatory medications can help to some extent. However, these methods do not provide a significant long-term relief from these specific heel pain conditions. PLANTAR fasciitis ialah penyebab sakit pada tumit kaki yang paling kerap terjadi di kalangan orang dewasa. Kita selalu terkeliru di antara plantar fasciitis dan ‘heel spurs’. Sebenarnya plantar fasciitis merujuk kepada sindrom sakit pada tumit kaki yang terjadi akibat radang pada tisu plantar yang membentuk lengkok pada tapak kaki, manakala ‘heel spur’ merujuk kepada tulang berbentuk duri pada tulang tumit (calcaneum) di mana tisu plantar melekat. You can read more details on : http://www.hmetro.com.my/articles/Tumitkakisakit/Article/

Plantar Fasciitis, heel pain, heel spurs and arch pain can be treated with simple, non-surgical methods. The most common pain relief solutions are:

• Rest, avoid prolonged activity, such as walking, running & sports
• Ice , apply ice for only 5 mins, allowing the foot inflammation to cool down
• Weight loss
• Stretching exercises
• A low-cost orthodontic shoe insert

Sources: http://www.footminders.com/plantar-fasciitis-heel-pain-heel-spurs-orthotics-treatment.html

Some people assume that this pain is a result of the heel striking the ground I walk, but I'm not wearing high heels lak. Yang pasti,maybe sebab i'm overweight kot muahahah. Arghhh.. It is very suffer as its hurt when everytime I strike the ground. Disebabkan malas nak pergi clinic, I went through few health websites looking for information and found this useful traditional tips. So simple boleh buat kat mana2 je:

Bagaimana mengurangkan sakit tumit?

- balutkan ais dengan kain dan letak di bahagian tapak kaki atau

- bekukan air dalam botol air mineral dan untuk menuam letakkan di lantai. 

Letakkan tapak kaki di atas botol ( pijak botol) dan gerakkan kaki ke depan dan 

belakang (‘roll the bottle’) sambil menonton TV atau membaca . 

Mudahkan ? Hope this can be a little help. Kadang2 cara tradisional pon mujarab. Saya dah cuba, anda bila lagi? hehehe  ^_^..

AKU, DIA & SPAGEHTTI

Spaghetti! One of my favourites. Tak kira la bolognese or carbonara..huhuhu .Why I like it so much? Well, it's delicious, and it comes together quickly and easily enough to be a great weekday/weeknight meal choice specially untuk wife yg malas mcm I ni muahaha. Don't you love it when that happens? Since I'm in  university, my friends taught me how to cook this yummy dish..All started when my lovely friend, Elina& Mazlina (MPK) introduce me this food..They cook very well and that time the only things i know hanya MAKAN, MAKAN, MAKAN.. Pernah terdetik to start cooking but as usual la, penyakit MALAS always in there.. After graduated, found myself are cautious to start prepare my own as I'm really crazy bout it! muahahaha..(Tiada istilah takut gemok that time).. Well, its not that unhealthy food actually if u know how to cook in HEALTHY way.. Indeed, there are plenty brands of wheat pasta and spaghetti on market with more varieties. Whole Wheat Pasta is made from flour  that contains the entire grain kernel - the bran, the germ and the endosperm.. ^_^

Talking about spaghetti always make me laugh.. My hubby never like this kind of western food before. Semasa bercinta sampai la dah kawin pon memang dia tak suka makan..He didn't like a sour sauce. Whenever I go for groceries shopping , my husband thinks I'm crazy because every time (well, not every time), I come back home mesti ada beli pasta. . I think having plenty of pasta in the pantry is essential! I choose a pasta depending on what I am feeling like or what recipe I am trying out. . so that’s why I have so much variety. ;p

Somehow, my husband is driving me crazy lately. Food that he hate before become his favorite food ever. Segalanya bermula di Shazana Cafe, Singgah Sahur a.k.a our Uni course-mate small gathering - UiTMers! Few of our friends ordered Spagehti bolognese then entah macam mana aroma dia sgt menarik perhatian Mr.Hubby. He keep repeating 'what a nice smell.. so tempting..what is that..?" Sampai da balik rumah pon he keep saying same words..then tanya I, sedap sangat ke bolognese tu..boleh masak x esok, nak try?? Urm...u gotta be kidding me right? Rasa nak tergelak plak tapi bila tengok muka dia sangat serious then I said Ok will cook for you tomorrow as our breakfast menu (since bulan puasa x pernah lagi dia berbuka ngan western food)..

So, I made the pasta dish that day untuk juadah berbuka and the first question from my cheese eating husband was “Is there any mozarella cheese in there?” My response, “Urm yes. .  but not much left..still you’re going to love this!” He: Ok..(senyum simpul) Then he ask again "Masak sama x dengan Shazana Cafe hari tu?" Me: urmm..smell is same la but i dont know how it taste..should be the same as they also used same prego sauce i guess.. He: Ok.. (senyum sampai telinga). In summary, he really love it and enjoyed the dish smpai mintak I masakkan lagi for midnight supper! Oh my... ^__^

And today (not only today but from last month untill now), dia mintak masakkan spagethi bolognese..again n again. Hahahah sampai bini dia pon da naik muak nak masak..Today I made the dish as requested..tapi main

campak2 ajelah nak cepat..coz nk amik ZaraDelisha plak kan.. Start by cooking up some spaghetti noodles, draining them, and putting them in the big bowl. Then simply pour on some pasta sauce (usually use prego).. cooked with minced beef added with some black button mushroom, few slices of sausage, olive, yellow capsicum (suka use this color coz nmpk cantik haha). I love this style of cooking pasta..simple yet delicious!

Oh Midnight cravings

Last night, when I'm lying on bed, I stared at the ceiling with the empty look but rasa resah gelisah pon ada at the same time..arghhh why its hard for me to get sleep..and suddenly wide awake because that piece of chocolate cake in the  refrigerator is calling my name.Eh x boleh jadi ni...Pandang hubby kat sebelah, nyenyak  je tido, meniarap dengan sbelah kaki terjungkit..bomb jatuh pon x sedar agaknye ;p.. and the other side, my princess Zara tido lena..meniarap sbelah kaki terjungkit atas seblah lagi kaki..dalam hati "huh, like father like daugther..tido lasak haha".. Sempat lagi mumbling sorang2. But at the same time, talked to myself, "do I really hungry?? or is it just because I'm bored as I can't sleep?? Think Shima think..Do you really need that chocolate cake right now? At this time??? You wont regret  that midnight snack will wake up with a stomachache the next morning?". 

Hurmmm..doesn't matter la..Being hungry all the time is very common..especially if you skip your diner..but I've took a plate of spaghetti for diner earlier.. Come on Shima..stop this unhealty habit~ Remember, when you eat, your pancreas starts  producing insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels by making body cells to
absorb and use glucose.Oh my..it can lead to diabetis..tak serik ke kena masa pregnant dulu.. ish ish ish... Dalam pada hati berkira2 nak grab that choc cake ke tak..kaki dah melangkah ke dapur..end up minum hot milo je then back to sleep. 

I'm sorry choc cake, will grab you another day hahaha..my diet still ok and I will not gonna screw it up! Sometimes, midnight cravings can feel impossible to ignore but if you're positive and committed about your healthy eating..sure you can avoid it~ One of my friend said, you have to learn to avoid high sugar  content foods and get busy so you don't have time think about food too much. Hurm...get busy huh? Okey, iron baju Mr.Papa untuk seminggu, do the midnight laundry, semak kan kain baju dan lipat semula and wash all the Zara's toys (sebakul!)..haaa amacam..busy tak? hahaha 

So peeps, don't fall for crazy ideas and scams by educating yourself about the chemistry behind feeling hungry.

Good Night yeah!~ ^___^

Cik Rara - Playgym ya, not Playgirl

Perkembangan adalah faktor penting dalam kehidupan bayi.As a parent, kita memainkan peranan penting dalam membangkitkan kebijaksanaan di dalam diri anak-anak dengan mendidiknya secara holistik. Salah satu didikan yang bagus ialah dengan menggalakkan anak BERMAIN. Bak kata iklan Fab, "biarkan anak anda bermain walaupon terkena kotoran"  ;p. Positive parenting penting untuk bayi membesar dengan baik.. We should always support our babies dengan game yang membina minda.. Since Zara Delisha suka sangat bermain...we bought her a colorfull playgym to encourage her brain development.. Ada playgym ni senang..either she can play by herself or kita pon boleh join main dgn dia.. Such a sweet moment seeing her skills being developed through games.

Play time!, here are some pictures of Zara Delisha taken about 1 week ago playing in her playgym. Alhamdulillah, she's grown up so fast, she's such a doll! Although her gums are not showing any signs of tooth/teeth sprouting, and she's nowhere near to crawling (attempt to raise bum always fails), while most of her peers are already achieving these milestones. Eventhough she still cannot sit momentarily without support, but I'm told to not worry too much coz she's doing fine.Well, before ni memang agak gusar skit hati mommy kenapa Zara lambat nk duduk tanpa sokongan coz a few of my friends, their baby dah boleh duduk dah ms umur 5 bulan. Now i know, its depends on the babies themselves.

Zara's new play gym. Mommy pon muat kot ni ;p

Mommy...come and join me :)

Syok sangat la tu guling2

At 5 months and half, Zara Delisha can already sit up straight but still with support la, crawling foward, grabing things, amuses herself by playing with hands and feet, recognises own name and can already respond to instructions. Like for example, I say, "Zara, hug mommy!" Then she'll raise her hands like hugging... so cute! sometimes we talk to her or try to get her attention but then dia sibuk nak tengok TV or busy trying to punch our cheek and pull our hairs* Dan dia sangat jaguh dlm mencubit dan mencakar..hadoiii Zara d explorer tol!

Most importantly, she's grows up normally as the growth chart for a baby girl! Everyday in tears, joy, sour, sweetor whatever, she just doing fine! Semua ibu nak kan yang terbaik untuk anak mereka kan.. So mommies..kerap la bermain dengan anak anda ye..supaya otak dan minda dia sentiasa cerdas.

You'll be amazed how quickly your baby changes in her first year of life. Trust me! ^_^

Introducing Solid Food to Zara Delisha

Talking about food and feeding unhealthy food on my previous entry, I would like to share another story about food..For every new mommy, other than looking forward to see your baby learn how to roll over, take his first steps etc, the most anticipated event for a mommy is definitely when her baby can start eating solid food! Do you agree? When you become a mum you're faced with dilemma after dilemma. Well, some of you may beknow that my lil Zara is only 5 months old right now and think its too early for her.But I have my own reason. Of course la I follow nasihat doctor..takde main taram aje kan hehe..

According to doctor, there are several signs that our babies are ready for solids. Sometime between four and six months, baby may show an interest in what's on our plate. What are the best foods to give her now as she wants more than just milk? Most paediatricians suggest that we can introduce cereals and purees when baby is between four and six months old. 

Well, some of my friends suggest to start with fruit puree or vege puree and i'm thinking to do so..but u all know la kan bila MIL bg pandangan, mcm kena ikut la plak..My bad coz i lupa nk bgtau dia i nak start with fruit puree tapi dia dah start bagi Zara makan cereal dulu..that time I dekat ofis..balik rumah aje MIL ckp da bg Zara makan cereal...hurm...then fine la as long as she's ok with that...but we have to monitor within 4 days in a row..some called it 4 days rule. After clearing the 4 days rule, found that, si Zara suka makan cereal ni licin dia bedal semangkuk..(well, 2 spoon je pon ;p)

Zara's favourite: Wheat cereal with honey

Meal time: Comot aiihh si kecik ni

Nota Kaki: *Please remember the 4 days rule mommies, in order to rule out any food allergies*

Mommy ada jugak wat servey and read through safety tips that the most common food allergies in babies and young children are to milk, eggs, peanuts and tree nuts. If you think your child is allergic to a food, see your GP and ask for a referral to an allergy clinic. It should be quite easy for you to tell if your child has an allergy. The symptoms include; nettle rash around your child's mouth, nose and eyes, mild swelling, a runny or blocked nose, itchy mouth, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. So far, Zara takde lagi alergic.. Alhamdulillah..keep it up dear~

Hey Ya, stop being a Busy-Body!

Living in a society where people around you cares about your personal matters too much,its killing and you can't avoid being asked those 'busybody' questions can you? Let me share with you some of my personal experience...its about my precious Zara Delisha..which is according to them, my ZD is getting 'BIGGER'.

I just don't get it. Why would these people say these things? I'm sure they didn't say it purposely to hurt my feelings right? Even if they're just kidding, I don't think it's funny. Hello, nobody's laughing! Sometimes I wonder, why on earth would you tell a person that her or his child is fat? Don't you think I noticed that my baby is fat? I look at her in every single day. Fat does not a good term for Baby..she just being HEALTHY ok. I prefer call it as Bambam or Tembam or 'Chubby'  so it wouldn't sound like nasty word. Don't you think I tried to keep her weight balance? Hey, I'm not sitting on the bed simply feed my baby with unhealthy food all day.

Hello, even she is a Michelin baby, but she's healthy and she's achieving her milestones accordingly. And did you think that I let my daughter over ate? Geezeeee. You've got to be kidding me. Of course I fed her followed the doctor's advises! Not with unhealthy fattening food of course. Cos I don't want her to get diabetes or high blood pressure when she grows older. I don't want her to become overweight when she's an adult. I want to teach her healthy eating habits. You gotta start 'em young, right? Plus, isn't it normal for babies who have started crawling and climbing and learning to walk to lose bits of fat as they become more mobile? She's at least 7.7 kg at 5 months and half and the doctor's happy with her growth chart.So what's your problem?

Now, I don't give a damn..syuhhh go away you busy body people..look at your kids first before saying bad of other peoples. I'm even not saying a word bout your son lazying napping on the couch watching TV all day long while eating a big pack of potato chips! Grrrrr

"Am I look fat??? Shame on you, I'm just a baby... FAT is only for adults ;p "

"Well, call me Michelin, i dont mind coz i know i'm a cute girl"

I know that I've took a really good care bout my daughter. Full stop~

Insomnia Me

Pheww~ I've been having troubles sleeping lately. I get so exhausted from all the office-work, housework, babysitting and housekeeping untill the cooking matters sampai kan kena mintak tolong en Somi cook for dinner... and Zara Delisha, at the end of the day I just look forward to her bedtime but when she goes to sleep, my eyes won't shut! Which explains why I am writing this post at 5.30 am! Arghhhh..Why why why??? What happened to me??? Does this means I have to resort to sleeping pills? Oh no.....ishkishkishk

Flu management

Flu n fever attacked our tiny family recently..today mommy lak kena flu.. Zara seems like recovered from flu but not fully i think coz still running nose sometimes especially at night. Now mommy punye turn..ape leh buat flu kn senang berjangkit..papa pon da ada flu symptom tu..adeh. I've took panadol soluble last night n took it again in da morning..cam menyampah jw nk mskan lg after lunch..coz looks like no effect taking over..hurm mr tubby da bising suh pegi klinik..n i'm thinking to do so actually but then again penyakit lain plak menyerang iaitu MALAS.muahaha ...

Well today's entry  is about flu management..actually lepas kawen ni tahu ada petua ni..itu pon from my hubby. From the begining my hubby is really good in parenting coz he got lots of experience dealing with babies n kids..ops he's not anyone' s father when i mary him ok haha but he used to take care of his nephew n niece.n also act as Babysitter for his own younger brother. well..last week when zara started to cry coz of flu..cough n running nose..meragam la hidung tersumbat tak boleh tido..pity her n as usual i gave her flu medicine..it works for few hours but she' wake me up in the middle of night 'telling' us she's still not ok..then mr.tubby straight away go to kitchen and back with something on his hand. then i asked, what is this? nampak mcm kunyit aje kuning sangat..n what u gonna do with that? Dengan selamba je dia terus sapu dekat hidung zara..around 5 minutes zara back to sleep..her breath totally ok..tido lena siap dengkur kecil lg..then my hubby said sometimes petua tradisional pon membantu..rupanya kunyit hidup blh meredakan hidung tersumbat..ambik sedikit kunyit hidup tumbuk dan campur dgn sedikit baby oil..lau xde pakai minyak masak pon xpe..org dewasa pon boleh cuba..hurmm dah dpt 1 knowledge kan..haha thanks to my skiny tubby ;p
