HAFIY, FAHRY & DANNY

Pray With Baby

sembahyang dengan baby. ops, ustaz Mami kata seeloknya pakai word 'solat' sebab sembahyang tu general term. orang non-Muslim pun sembahyang juga, tp kita orang Muslim ada term special, solat. so, solat dengan baby.

Mami dulu ada dengar bahwa Rasulullah pernah solat sambil dokong cucu baginda, anak kepada Zainab. tp Mami xtahu macamana cara solat sambil dokong anak. Mami asked around kawan2 yg dah ada baby masa tu, ramai kata tak boleh & susah, sebab:
  • baby pakai pampers, ada najis.
  • baby lelaki yg belum khatan bawa najis.
sehinggalah Mami dapat Hafiy & Mami akui mmg sukar utk Mami melaksanakan solat. Hafiy suka nangis kalo Mami tinggalkan even sekejap, nak berdokong je. dilema jugakla Mami, cemana nak buat. solat Mami pun jadi hujung2 waktu je sebab nk kene tunggu Mak Tok&Tok Ayah balik kerja (ms cuti maternity), Hafiy tido, etc. kusyuk tak kusyuk toksah cerita, kadang2 jadi 'asal solat' aje. semoga Allah mengampuni Mami..

sampailah kita balik Miri & Mami consult dengan Bunda (Kak Evi =sebut Efi). Bunda bagitau Mami cara2 solat sambil sokong Hafiy. masya-Allah memang senang sangat, dan dua sebab TIDAK BOLEH di atas tu memang TIDAK VALID langsung.

alhamdulillah, sejak tu memang Mami solat sambil dokong Hafiy. memang senang dan mudah, even kadang2 Hafiy bukan nak duk diam. tp at least xdela melalak2.

mudah saja. pertama sekali kena faham kedudukan tangan tidak ada dalam syarat sah (ada 5) atau rukun solat (ada 13). dan juga faham tentang sunat hai'ah (ada 15) & sunah ab'adh (ada 4). kedudukan tangan semasa solat (takbiratul ihram, baca surah, iktidal, etc.) adalah sunat hai'ah, yakni tidak mengapa jika tidak dibuat. manakala sunat ab'adh, jika tertinggal kena buat sujud sahwi.

satu lagi tentang gerakan semasa solat. yg famous (belajar sejak tadika) ialah melebihi 3 kali berturut2 membatalkan solat. however, tersebut tiada dalam dalil & adalah pendapat sesetengah ulamak. malah ada ulamak berpendapat boleh bergerak lebih 3 kali berturut2, tetapi tidak boleh terover. namun berdasarkan riwayat bahawa Rasulullah pernah solat mendokong bayi, membuka pintu dan membunuh haiwan berbisa semasa solat, yg tentunya perlu banyak gerakan. bagi Mami, kita ambil begini - jika tiada keperluan, limitkan kepada 3 kali saja, jika ada keperluan (cth seperti dokong baby) maka tidak mengapa. jadi, jgn bergerak melebihi 3 kali sekiranya tiada keperluan.

cara-cara solat sambil dokong baby:
  • berdiri seperti biasa sambil dokong baby.
  • sebelah tangan pegang baby, sebelah angkat takbir.
  • baca al-fatihah & surah seperti biasa sambil pegang baby. kalo boleh sebelah tangan diletak di tempat biasa.
  • semasa rukuk pegang baby dua2 tangan.
  • masa sujud, sama ada pegang baby sebelah atau letak baby di sisi.
  • jika letak di sisi, sama ada mau teruskan dokong, atau biarkan saja dia lepak2 kat situ.
  • kalo mau dokong, angkat saja & pegang mcm mula2 tadi.
  • ms duduk tahiyat tiada masalah since baby bole diriba terus.
  • baca doa Qunut, kalo bole angkat sebelah tangan & kalo xbole x apa, pegang je baby dua2 tangan.
Hafiy sejak bertambah lasak ni memang tak terkawal. tp alhamdulillah, dengan dokong Hafiy, Mami bole concentrate solat (kusyuk) daripada terfikir2 tentang ape jadi kat Hafiy w/o dokong, kot2 terjatuh ke, terantuk ke, etc. & 'kena' solat cepat2 sebab Hafiy melalak. even if letak sbelah sejadah pun percubaan2 utk 'mencederakan diri sendiri' mmg tak dapat dibendung.

kalo masa solat tu Hafiy tido, Mami akan palingkan muka sekali sekala utk pastikan Hafiy OK.

utk pastikan kesucian, Mami tuka diapers Hafiy sebelum solat. yg keluar2 masa solat tu tak apa, mcm juga vaginal discharge yg keluar, tidak apa. yg penting sebelum solat tu kena pastikan betul2 suci.

alhamdulillah, Mami tak risau2 lagi 'terpaksa' solat lewat (& ada kawan Bunda yg jamakkan solat sebab babynya asik nangis) sebab Mami bole solat sambil dokong Hafiy. di samping tu, Mami boleh bawak anak Mami solat sama, dan semoga Allah mudahkan aktiviti ibadah wajib ni utk anak2 Mami since dari kecil dari dah ikut Mami 'solat jemaah'.




How to Pump Milk?

answering 'mama tak reti's question.

i hope i knew MTT's background. how long has she been nursing? how old is the baby? does she direct feeding all this while? what type of pump is she using? etc.

i'm not a BF pro, just maybe with my little knowledge (the one i practice), i can share, & other moms also can give their comments.

i use Avent Isis UNO. it's an electrical, uno (single) pump, which i bought a year ago at Parkson, KLCC. i chose this pump because of its mini-sized, and multi-usage. can be manual, electric & battery. most important, it is mobile and can campak2 ke mana saja.

using electical pump is sooo pleasurable. UNO's suction is weaker than manual Avent, however it is very convenience for i don't have to use my hand to make the pump works. and i can pump while reading, chatting, sms-ing, etc. it's noisy, yes, but i don't know how noisy it is compared to other pumps cos i never hear other pumps' noises.

my pumping routine started at 9.00am, and i try to make 4 sessions per day during working hours.

previously i pumped in the surau, in my telekung, however now i found new places which are more private than pumping in surau :D

the must to pump using electrical pump is the power supply. haha. and a comfortable space. prior to pumping, i massage the boobs gently to make the fluid loosen.

different mothers have different techniques in pumping milk. some are begin with strong suction to get the let-down before the steady suction along the session. some begin with lowest setting suction to make them just feel comfortable prior to let down. and massaging top & the side is helpful so the milk will come out easily. maybe we can reposition the boobs in the funnel.

let down between mothers are very unique. some moms might have strong let down and some might be slow let down. and this also depend on the techniques and the type of pumps.

i am not a mom with 'large flow' milk. but for the office sake, i set 5 minutes minimum to pump each boob. usually i get the amount of 3,4 or 5 oz within than 10minutes. and sometimes 2 oz or even less. but it does not mean that my milk starts to dry up, it might be because of my fluid intake, food intake or my mood.

if MTT is still not working and direct feed, the pumping amount might not be that much, since the baby is direct feed, and the demand for direct feeding is still high. MTT should not stop pumping for the reason of not much milk comes out, the rule of thumb is supply is base on demand, so keep on pumping so that the boob may 'send the message' to the brain that it has to produce more milk at certain times.

pumping session should be a relaxing one. try to get rid of anything that can make us less concentrate. the best is to put our babies' faces in our mindframes. and don't push yourself too hard to urge the milk to flow out. ease yourself with selawat, or any zikrullah.

milk pumping should be the best experience and stress-relief tool during the 8-5 (here 7.30-4.30) working hours.

other mommies might want to add, & hope it helps!

[i'm having malas-pump syndrome right now. oh plz dose me some motivation!]




Cos We Speak in Different Language

dah dapat anak ni baru la rasa perasaan mak kita dulu...
dah ada anak ni baru dpt rasa cemana mak kita rasa...
dah jadi mak ni jadi makin appreciate mak sendiri...
dsb.

when my close friend gave birth to her first daughter 3 years ago, she told me that she never felt such that 'love' towards her mom before she became a mummy herself. and it's really true when i experienced it myself.

then i started asking myself "do i have to wait for my first daughter has her first child to be appreciated as a mommy???"

i don't believe that it is a nature of life, cos there's many who know how to appreciate their mothers without have to give birth to anyone (oh not me...).

it's because... we speak the different language.

i remember when i was a teenager then, anything came from my mom's mouth was 'NONSENSE & always NAG NAG NAG'. even if she just asked me to study i said "i know la Mak, you don't have to nag like this". and i don't like to talk to my own mom especially about my problems because she was a typical mommy who 'likes to nag'.

yah it's just the language we use was different.

parents - giving advice
kids hear it as - nag

parents - care
kids hear it as - busybody

parents - marah sebab sayang
kids hear it as - marah sebab tak suka kat kita

parents - you have to follow the rules
kids hear it as - mengongkong

& etc.

now i am a parent and i believe that kids will be kids. they won't aware about the 'differences' and they won't pay any cent to understand their parents who to them are always 'nagging, not up-to-date, tak sporting, tak faham jiwa remaja, etc.'. and it's my role to play my part, and practice Covey's 5th habit: seek first to understand then to be understood.

and it's really is. even now, when i come back home after work, my baby couldn't help calling me to hold him, even if i'm still in the car. should i tell him "baby, Mommy baru balik ni penat la. baby duk la ngan bibik tu jap...". what do you think my baby will feel? does he know about my work? does he know about my tiredness? does he know that i need a little rest? he won't know, cos what he knows is only 'I need my Mommy!'. any rejection will make him upset and disappointed.

so i tune in his request, try to understand him and speak in his language (not baby talk OK!). i don't need any silent moment to rest. resting with my baby is the most beautiful thing, and listening to his voice (melalak ke membebel ke) is the greatest music.

i'm not just doing the 'sacrifice' because i am a parent, but hopefully this is a baby step for future mutual understanding between us, and later my kids will understand my language and use the same principle to make our communication effective. i wanna understand them and they will understand me. so we have to speak in the same language.

i wanna be appreciated as a Mommy before my teenage kids have kids of their own.




My Bibik & Me

sebenarnya Mami tak ready nk cakap pasal Bibik tp macam nak cerita je lah.

actually i never-never ada bibik sebelum ni. when i was a little girl, our Moyang looked after us. and when the Lady Moyang passed away, we were key-latched kids and my Mom was a very incredible woman to work, manage household with 5 crazy kids and her hobby-gardening.

our main reason to choose Bibik to take care of our house and our kids is - the cost. Bibik's cost in Sarawak is the least and far more cheaper than sending to babysitter or nursery. so after think and thought we queued our name for a bibik.

cos we never had bibik at our parents' places, we were really bibik-blind. we sought infos from our friends who are bibik-experts to guide us on 'How to Layan Your Bibik so That She Won't Buat Hal'. and most of them told us to:-
  • jgn bagi muka
  • kene firm
  • suruh dia buat kerja
  • jangan bagi dia henpon
  • etc.
and i really did when the first bibik came. however, the bibik was a very proactive one. i never told ther to do this and that, but she did it in advance. and she was fast. she finished all housework including cuci longkang in afternoon. and she commented she got not enough work at our house. huhu. but unfortunately we had to let her go because of some reasons. sayang kan. i wish i could have a Bibik like her, again.

the second bibik (current bibik) came a month later. she is a bit different than the previous ones. the first bibik was a very work oriented ones. and she pleaded for works. until we had to say "maaflah bibik, rumah kami banyak orang jd xbanyak kerja. bibik rehat ajelah". and she complaint she was bored for not having much work to do. huhuhuhu! and this one is different lah. she's not as robotic as the previous wan. this one loves to talk and story everything. and she does works when i ask because 'takut terusik barang2 yg tak boleh sentuh'. hehe.

tp the boundary between us and bibik was still like as the pantang2 above until i read this entry from blog Aunty Iza, then i asked her about it. after reading her answer, it made me thinking about how did i layan my bibik all this while.

along the week yg kita kat KL, we sent bibik to Ibu AddinNasa's. and i learned another thing about layan bibik. Aunty N said, our bibik is a very good one, and i have to take a good care of her so that in return, she will take good care of my kid(s). and she bought a henpon to bibik so that bibik can call her kampung. but ustat came last nite and told bibik 'seharusnya ini tidak perlu.. sebab bazir uwang, nantinya kalo sudah ada, akan selalu2 nelepon. bila usah selalu nelepon, akan selalu rindu2..nanti tidak dpt kerja dgn aman. saya udah rasa itu' :D but i still allow her to has the hanpon with condition, "telefon sebulan sekali sudah ya bibik".

this week i started to cook (back) even if Abiy said my cooking tak sedap, Bibik lg sedap (huh?). all this while i let bibik to cook because i wanted to spend the precious time with my baby. ya la, we reached home at 6pm, 6.30pm maghrib sudah, and Abiy doesn't like to has late dinner.

last nite bibik told us that she thought the gaji here was as high as at Saudi. and she asked for raise. wowowow. honestly speaking, we couldn't attend her request cos the why we opt for bibik pun is to reduce our opex, and now we have to be a bit frugal to buy emergency air tickets. but we're very good and flexible to allow her doing part time by tidying up other's houses in this area. so this weekend she'll start her part-time.

she told us the story about her family and the *along who lent her money and asked 700% return. (*along is ceti haram lah. i am along too, but 'saya bukan along, saya cuma nak tolong'). but we can't tolerate more to her problems because we have our problems jugak and hopefully our kindness for allowing her doing part time is OK enough. and she would manage her money wisely so that she can pay the along ASAP rather than buying prepaid or others titbits. plus, we provide her toiletries and biskut as 'ehsan majikan'.

i layan her like how i layan my friends and she is very free in our house, except i don't 'allow' her to tidy up our bedroom and my toilet. i asked her to cuci the toilet 2 weeks ago but the result was, i had to cuci sendiri lepas tu. fhm2 ajelah.

i don't expect much la on her. enough for her to take care of my kid(s) and my properties while i'm away to work. and hopefully she's happy working with us, and don't run away. huhu. when i want her to do something i say "bibik, tolong buat ni ya". oh ya, last nite she said she has to do works at night (cos during the day has to gendong Hafiy all the time) but no OT pay. hahaha. kelaka la bibik ni. apa dia igt rumah kita ni kilang kasut ke. buat lawak kot bibik ni. mintak baya sewa bilik baru tau :P

our previous bibik once told me that most bibik2 yg buat hal is not because the bibik jahat alone, but the layanan majikan is macam tak anggap bibik tu orang. even if majikan baik, but sometimes ada layanan2 tertentu yg wat bibik kecil hati, pendam & lama2 jadi geram. she said, if majikan baik "seperti bapak sama embak" no bibik will buat hal or run away. :) amiin.

i hope i'm a good madam. the bibik requested for jalan2 jauh sikit. we promised her a trip to Brunei and sambut raya di Semenanjung. and whatever she requests, we try to attend, as long as not go beyond the boundary lar. being a madam ni.. tough jugak. i reflect my relationship with my b*ss. i always rebel when i feel something 'wrong' with his order. so if i can 'oppose' my boss (who gives me rating at the end of the day), why shouldn't my bibik?

Co-Sleeping

this is to answer aunty intan's tag.

we can't comply the requirement lah since we don't have baby cot. we co-sleep! and i'm not going to share my bed's picture here. hehe. secret place tuuuu!

actually, we wanted to buy a baby cot, or playpen, since 98.9% of our frens bought cribs for their babies. we planned to buy it earlier then, but for the budget's sake, we defer it until we're back to Miri. so since birth, Hafiy was co-sleep with Mommy.

back to Miri, i was interested no more to have any baby cot. we were very comfortable to sleep on the same bed. you know what, it is very easy for night feeding. and this is part of attachment parenting, where the baby sleep soundly in the loving arm of the mother. and you know what, it gives extra time to me and my baby to spend together, after long working hours.

i heard many negative feedback about co-sleeping, like:
  • baby will not independent
  • increase risk of SID
  • mom roll over the baby
  • baby roll over and fall from bed
  • baby don't wanna leave parents' bed
  • baby cannot sleep without mother
  • etc.
yes, co-sleeping has its pro and cons. in fact, everything has pro and cons and its depend on us how to reduce the cons and how to optimize the pro, if we choose to do it.

reduce the risk of co-sleeping by:
  • don't use heavy blanket i.e. comforter until the baby is older enough
  • if possible, don't use blanket
  • put pillow away from baby
  • don't sleep with other toddlers :D
  • put a barrier i.e. bantal peluk if you're too tired
about the dependency, or the difficult transition to their own room later, i don't think it's a problem. according to Dr. Sears, co-sleeping gives the child of overall feeling of well-being and confidence. and info from babycentre says "some people believe that babies who co-sleep with their parents are more independent, more outgoing, and more confident as children. As adults, they have higher self-esteem, better stress-management skills, and are more comfortable with intimacy than adults who slept alone as babies".

and yes, Hafiy really can't sleep without Mommy. he needs the cik nen and sometimes want to sleep on Mommy's chest. some look at this as 'letihla maknye kalo nak tido kene macam tu je'.i saw he slept with others, he doesn't need those things, only with me. and i don't feel 'susah' to put my baby to sleep on my chest or my arm. it won't be long, isn't it? i really cherish this moment. when he becomes a big brother or when he is big enough, he won't sleep on my chest anymore. even sometimes, even if he is in deep sleep, i put him on my chest, to make me sleep plak :D

is that why we choose co-sleeping? actually, we don't need any good reason to co-sleep, cos our WHY is only because - to save our $$$$ :D

What I Want You to Be?


Hafiy: ni map nakgi cari harta karun tau.
Adam: ala takyah kelentong kita tau ni alas meja.



"awak kita nk cakap samting kita terpoo-poo dalam suar"
"hehehek geli jela awak ni"



"hey tepilah!"
"lu apehal bro?"


when i was in primary 1, my teacher asked me about my ambition. i still remember the answer was "saya nak jadi askar cikgu!". and the teacher replied with "perempuan mana bole jadi askar" hehe.

at age 10, i asked my dad about what did he wants me to be. he said, he wants me to be an architect. at that age, i didnt know what architect is, but i wrote it in my books, and told everyone that i wanted to be an architect. i put my target in studies, to study hard in order to achieve my ambition, which i believed it was a little bit harder than to become a housewife. hehe.

however, i wasn't exposed to what i should go through i.e. courses at university, which campus, etc.
i just went with the flow, until i had to make my own decision on what i should take after my secondary. i applied all unis, other than UPU, i sent forms to all unis in the papers. but i terlepas pandang on overseas application :( i got almost all offers, from UIA, Uniten, MMU, UTP... but i chose UTP because it came first :D it was soo no direction, and it was no more architecture.

and now i am not an architect, but somebody with no value to the nation oh d****!!!

during my internship, i still remember my conversation with a manager in that construction site. he told me something like,
Malays' parents usually don't know their role in helping their kids pursuing the future. unlike other races, they already have in mind what should their kids be in future plus the resources, and they use it to encourage their kids, so that their kids will have clear direction and avoid them to be unemployed.

my mom told me to study hard so that i can get good job, but i myself didn't know what good job was, until i finished my degree and hunt for job like a crazy. luckily i took engineering.

very significant isn't it?

i went through that, and i dont want my kids to walk through it again. we don't map or plan on what our kids should be in future, but we encourage and help them to have a better picture on what they should consider when thinking about their futures. i have a dream that my kids able to say something like this:
i want to get *As in my UPSR because i want to study medicine after SPM at a medical college in Ireland and i to be an oncology to do research for cancer's treatment before i reach 30YO.
amiin.

i don't need my kids to be a super genius like can solve Calculus at age of 6 or can create any Physics formula at age 9, enough for they can use their potential to help themselves, our family and most importantly our nation.

for us (Abiy & i), a true genius is not a super-intelligent, but someone who can help himself & others.

tuhari Hafiy dokong ngan Mak Tok, ni nak dokong Tok Ma plak.

when the lights go out

last nite during blackout, all of us gathered in the living room, with Bibik (there was only one torch light available & Bibik was afraid of darkness :D). this is the very first time all of us had leisure chat with her. we sat & chat, and also discussed about her salary.

she told us what hafiy does everyday while we're away to work.

  • mintak naik bilik atas. the on with 'HAFIY'sticked on the door. suka betul lepak situ panas2.
  • tgk cermin sambil goyang2 & pusing muka ala2 model. Bibik said "cover boy".
  • gerak2 tgn bila tgk burung.
  • when Bibik says "diam" terus diam, "tidur" terus pejam mata "minum" terus isap susu.
  • jam 5.30ptg dh start tengok luar rumah, tgk pintu, tgh gate, xsenang duduk :D
  • suka duduk atas riba Bibik. Bibik said "manja".
  • suka borak2 ngan Bibik.
  • pandai tunjuk2 nak apa.
  • bole duk dalam buai provided kene ayun2 setiap masa.

when with Mommy

24/7 nak bekepit & meraung kalo letak even baru 0.01 saat duk kat bawah.


while Bibik was telling us the story, Hafiy was babbling non-stop like telling "Bibik please don't tell everything to Mommy & Abiy! Bibik, please stop it!Bibik no!". sweet kan? he never be like that. dgn Mami tahu nk bekepit & melalak saja.

i remembered story about Aunt Fid's Akif. i told Abiy about these babies who don't like to reveal their potential to their parents. Abiy said:

there are 2 types of babies. independent and dependent. dependent babies like things such as "wah pandainya anak Mama","bijaknya anak Mama","wah anak Mama dah pandai ****". but independent babies are different. those statement would make them 'ah, malas la nk buat, igt orang teringin sgt ke nk buat' like that la.


wow wow wow. so my baby is an independent type :D

Abiy said, it is more challenging to layan independent babies. silap layan they'll get bored & xnk buat apa2. last2 jadi malas.... ya Allah please give us strength...

about the blackout, what worried me most was .. MY STOCK! oh it is not easy to collect such amount of bottles. furthermore, i'm facing production drop at the lowest limit level these days :( igt senang ke nk collect susu~ wooo~~~~

i kept on praying for the electricity to come back. oh my susuuu ;(( huwaaaa!!!

alhamdulillah, fortunately after 4 hours of darkness, the light was back! and my susu safe :D

for the contingency plan, i'll prepare lots and lots of ice and ice pack in my freezer. oh the stock is something that have to be seriously preserved.

actually i dont like blackout. but there's so much stories revealed and things to discussed.

tonite will be another strong storm forecasted. hopefully everything will be OK. last nite our neighbour's roof was blown by the storm, trees along Pujut 7 road were fallen, and a row of cars at offshore's stophouse were wreck :(

Coping With Working and Pumping

nowadays i found out that no more "working cause BFing impossible". yea maybe some dads still. most of the ladies at my workplace knew what i do cos they see me everyday in the surau pumping milk. and some men knew if they went to same courses with me, cos i'll bring my pumping bag along & it is enough to explicit questions.
at previous 7habit course:
the trainer "are you going to fly as well?" when seeing my bags.
mr macho "no la. she's pumping milk for her baby"

;)
i am not a 'gifted' mom with 'banyak susu'. i only manage to collect about 3-3.5oz for each pumping session. so i have to pump frequently to cater 16oz per day needed by my stash. so i pump 4 times at work at:
  • 9 o'clock
  • 11 o'clock
  • 2 o'clock
  • 4 o'clock
despite my *%^$%% job, i am such a lucky coz i'm working on office based, NEVER (so far) have to go to the sites, offshore, terminals, etc. so i have times to make it 4 pumping session, unless when i have to go out for courses.
during courses i manage to pump maximum 3 times... during breaks & lunch hour.

another bonus point to me is i am the only executive doing the 'document controlling' things. i plan the meetings. so, my meeting schedule is at 10am if it's in the morning, and 2.30pm if it's during the afternoon. ahah. it doesn't even touch any sheet of my pumping schedule :D

i still envy on mommies who manage to get 5,6,7,8,9,10,etc oz per session. hehe. i am struggle to get 3-3.5oz. but it is not an excuse for 'susu kurang' cos i knew the trick is to PUMP FREQUENTLY. i usually have chat with Mama Ryan (when i'm home or when the office's YM works properly :D) cos she just like me, we pump frequently to cater our babies' need. and sometimes Mommy Adam via email :D it's really motivating by having pumping buddies even if they're thousands miles away.

i miss the good old days when my boobs engorged like melons and filled up the 9oz bottle in each pumping session. when i started working, my body learned the demand, and the supply is not 'always there', & don't feel 'full' all the time. it 'filling the tank' on demand, and when the pumping time comes, usually it sends a message to "pump now!" via let-down reflex. so if only i forget about the time, my super intelligent body will send the message so that i won't miss the session.

up to this point, i still manage to work & pump happily. unless when i have to go abroad (the most 'abroad' to me is to KL, KK or Kertih), oh i still can't tell cos i'm yet to go, but in my head is bringing Hafiy together & have to find a place to stationed him while i'm doing my job. and for offshore assignment, i'm gonna prepare frozen EBM for his need during my absence.

i used to be a bit skeptical for working mommies who say WE can't BF (i assume all SAHM are BFing). but after having a conversation with my friend, E, who's not-BFing, very proactively, then i changed my mind. i'll story later2 about E :)

to BF or not to BF, is the mother's choice.

Sejarah Kacang Botol Mami

sebelum tu Mami menjawab pertanyaan beberapa orang tentang kacang itu:

Q : dari mana dapat benih?
A: dari Embah kat Johor. ntah berapa lama dah benih tu sebenarnya. kami amik ms blk Johor bulan 12, bulan 3 baru disemai. har har har.

Q : apsal semai, tak tabur je?
A : ada beberapa sebab
1. Mami xde cangkul atau apa2 alat utk menggembur tanah.
2. tanah di area ni sangat subur, rumput amik masa seminggu dua je utk panjang ke lutut. kot tabur & bercambah jd mcm nasib ulam pegaga Mami dulu, asik kene cantasss je sbb grasscutter tu xperasan ada tumbuhan lain di sebalik rumput2 yg bergelimpangan.

Q : apsal kacang botol?
A : sebab Mami dah tanam beberapa kali kat kampung & semuanya membuahkan hasil lumayan.

lalu? apa yg terjadi kepada beliau?

imbas kembali kisah 2 bulan lalu. Mami ada mention pasal 'hopefully it's still subur'.

semasa membuat penanaman itu, Mami tak test dulu sama ada benih tu masih OK atau dah expired, sebab excited sgt & malas nak tangguh2 lagi. har har har. tp lepas semai tu Mami ada buat ujian, yg mana beberapa benih yg berlebihan Mami rendam dalam air.

jawapannya... benih itu sudah expired!

jadi Mami telah membazirkan sekeping karton telur, beberapa genggam tanah, dan masa! :D

tp takpalah. lainkali kene buat ini dulu sebelum tanam apa2 benih:-
  • malam sebelum operasi menanam, pastikan benih betul2 bercambah dgn merendam mereka dalam air paip or air suam2 kuku (jgn air panas pulak kang mati terus).
  • sediakan tanah dari awal dengan melembabkannya selama 3 hari sebelum penananam.
bila nak dpt benih baru ni..

Aksi Terlampau Seorang Hafiy


gimme that pie!


ahhh lega~

a baby is a good observer and absorber. gosh it's really true! Hafiy, doesn't like to eat his baby food, or any food for babies, including the baby biscuit. bubur nasik toksah cakaplah. at first, i tot it was a 'food phobia' coz during his illness he vomited just after having some spoons of bubur beras bario. but today i knew it wasn't that, but he wants to have what we have.

we went to a dinner, sponsored by psro, (isnt it?) at a hotel. i didn't bring any of his food coz at home, he said no-no to anything. but during the dinner he was like 'wow, food!' to everything. i gave him some fruits, and he mashed it with his gum until i felt scare of him might be choking. Abiy put a japanese beancurd (please dont tell me whether it's suitable or not suitable for baby, in 'darurat' you will do anything) on a fork and he was like "gimme that!" and he grabbed the beancurd with his hand. omg i tried to put him off the dining hall but it didn't work. so i took a piece of potato and mashed it in a bowl (suggested by TJ) but he refused and still hunting for the 'beancurd with fork'.

and last nite we went to Bintang Mall's Mc D. i didnt know where did he learn to drink using straw. until Abiy had to do some mitigation plan by pressing the straw (like in the picture) to hinder the coke from flowing into his mouth.

i knew it's not unique. everybaby goes through this stage. but we have to do something to make him loves food that suitable for him.

some might say "bagi je la apa dia nak.." but for us, we are parents and our child(ren) is only a baby. he makes decision based on impulse, not values. and we, as parents should teach him the values. a little child has no life experience, and no knowledge, so we can't expect them to do correct things at the first time. we should guide them to do things correctly.

another example, if a child likes to koyak2 buku. we shouldn't stop providing him books so that the wont koyak2 anymore, instead, provide him with suitable books for koyak2 like old magazine or supermarket catalogue, and keep on telling him that 'this book is for us to read, not to koyak2' or from the perca2, we can work on it together to make a craft or whatever. so the child knows the value and avoid them to label 'koyaking buku is prohibited, fullstop', instead 'buku is to be read not to be koyaked'.

remember that we are the parents, and the decisions lay on us. even Rasulullah once said, a baby born as a white clothe, and parents paint him to be a Muslim, a Jew or a Christian.

to have kids is easy, but to be parents, is a little bit tougher. er.. i mean, good parents.

7 Wonderful Months

oh dear my baby is 7 month old today! how fast time flies... you have only 5 month to go to your first birthday!


i reminisce back... what have i done to you all this while? is it worth for you, having a Mommy like me? :( eh, of course, i breastfeed you!

you gave us a very impressive 7-month birthday present... guess what? you creep! :D it happened last nite when Abiy put his laptop on the floor, and we saw you creep [should i say, crawl?] to get the lappy. when we aware about your effort, Abiy moved the lappy farther, and you still trying to reach it. oh how sweet my baby...

last week, you had a very high fever. for 4 days your body T was 39degree C (i see..., it's normal but to me it's enough to make me worry a lot!), and it was when Abiy flew to Kuantan. however, you didn't show any sign of sickness, no flu, no cry, no clingy, just your body T. when we brought you to the doctor, he said "betul ke demam ni, ceria je", and you really were when he measured your temperature :D

after the high T, you got measle-like rashes all over your body, especially your torso and your face. again, we worried about eczema, german measle, or dengue! again, we brought you to see the paed. in those 5 days, you met those doctors 3 times! but everything was OK. Dr Philip said it might be some alergic, but nothing serious. orang tua kata, ruam panas sembuh demam. the demam is because to release the rashes. i dunno & i dun care as long as you're OK. it was just for 2 days, then your skin back to normal :D

post-fever, you became more active than before. you started to creep, and jumping here and there when i hold you on my arm. and you can say "Mamamama" "Babababa" "Bebebebe" "Pipipipipi" and Bibik said you can say "Mami!". i don't surprised cos you like to do thing at our back.

last week, we went to Brunei with Mak Tok, Tok Ayah & Pak Su. we supposed to meet Mummy AH, but unfortunately, because of the last minute arrangement, we fell to the different places. she waited for us at Aminah Arif at Kiulap while we were at 'God knows where' Aminah Arif :D we spent about B$40 (about RM100) for our lunch bcoz we didn't know what we ordered.. if only we met Aunt Huaida.. ;( but it's OKla.. gave us lesson to be learnt :D next time we make sure a proper plan in place! at least she 'guided' us to Aminah Arif where we could try the 'Ambuyat'. so unique and i wish to have it again!

this time, our trip to Brunei was a bit meaningful la. all this while we just went to Yayasan, this time we were at Hua Ho Manggis Mall & Hua Ho Tanjung Bunut. thanks to Mummy AH! and then i knew that my boy likes Barney very much! you laugh when we showed the talking Barney and any Barney doll to you, but not when we showed other dolls. however we didn't buy you the talking Barney cos the price was... hmm.. next time la sayang ya. when watching Barney at home, you'll look at the TV very seriously when Barney appears, when he's not in the screen, you'll scream like "where's my Barney!". hehe. eii geram la.

today for the very first day we left you alone with Bibik. Mommy had course at Marriot, i left my telekung at home, so after sending Abiy to office, i went back home to take it, and i saw you were on Bibik's gendongan, holding your bottle - thing i never saw.

about solids, we stopped it since 2 weeks ago, since you were not interested in any. so, we decided to wait until you 'request'. actually, you like to participate in our mealtime, but you don't like your food. you prefer celup2 tangan dalam mangkuk than eating. so, no no lah.

some said you are going to get your first tooth because you like to put anything in your mouth, including Mommy's toes.. but i tot you did it since 4 months ago! and nothing appears on your gum. furthermore, Mommy don't anticipate your to teething sooner. hehe. now pon very2 the sakit when you gigit my nips by your hard gum...



Hafiy my love.. Mommy miss you so much!

My Baby, Your Baby


mula2 kita bukak buku...


...pastu kita belek buku...


...dan masukkan dalam mulut supaya kita cepat pandai.

i don't know why but i'm a bit sensitive when people, especially other mothers talk about my child, like this:

"lambatnye anak kau, takpe nanti dia ***** la tuh. anak aku dah ***** ms x bln lg"
"tak ***** lagi ye? takpe jgn risau.. anak aku..."
"takleh ***** lagi? sabar... nanti sampai la masanya. anak aku.."
"belum **** lagi? dah berapa bulan? saba ek. anak aku..."
etc.
and samting like .. "anak aku ni umur baru 6 bulan dah 7kg, berat betul, sihat & tembam sgt dia xmacam baby2 lain" (hello, so many babies yg weighted 7kg at 3-4month, not even 6 month pon..)
[fill in **** with anything a baby should do]

should i tell everyone that I DON'T REALLY CARE about my child's PHYSICAL development as COMPARED to other babies? as i never said "risaulah.. Hafiy belum ****, dia dah x bulan dah, tak macam anak orang tu". as far as i can remember, i just said "Hafiy x bulan tp belum *** lagi". i dont know but i don't really like the word "sabar ye.." (even if they just berbasa-basi, not saying it seriously), it seems like i can't accept the uniqueness of my own baby.

even, if you read in ANY child's development's books or webbies, there are clauses (some has no) mentioning that 'this is only a general guide, everybaby has his own time to reach each milestone'. what in the books or webbies, are the guides for us (parents) to expect what is happening to our babies in order to get to know them better, and as benchmarks to encourage them to acquire suitable skills for their ages. so that we won't train a 5-month-old baby to walk. infant development is an art, and no science.

i don't care if any mom brags about her baby's advance development, but it just becomes a bit 'sour' when she starts to compare and compete with others & mine. so what? if your child can talk at age of 7 month, will he be the next prime minister, and mine, not? if your child can roll at age of 1.5 month, will he be a CEO of something, and mine, not? will something like 'walk at age of 9 month' be in his resume? ok, just boast about it, but please don't see other babies who are a bit 'later' like 'has no future'.

yes, parents should help and encourage their babies to reach certain milestones, but still up to the baby's own pace of developmental. we should proud with our childrens' milestone no matter how long it takes them to reach there, and that this is not a competition. i just let my child (beside encouragement) cos i knew that he will walk, talk, and whatever at the right time of his. so what, if he can crawl at age of 6 month, he still can't help me doing house chore etc, but give me extra time to monitor his movement, to ensure everything is safe. i am very happy with what he is now, he doesn't creep nor crawl, so i don't have to kejar2 him :D but the most important thing, he's healthy and happy, and i take care of everything about him.

personally, i like this kind of conversation:
A: anak u dh bole ape?
B: dah belajar jalan.
A: wah yeke? anak i baru merangkak.
B: mesti suka kutip barang kan. anak i dh pandai pegang2 bunga i.
A: tula dia suka masuk mulut semua benda.
B: dia nkwat eksperimen kot. anak i bole panggil Mama.
A: pandainya! anak i dah pandai makan sendiri.
A&B : hehehe.
[it's just like a FYI je kan? both are updating about their own babies je]
and i don't enjoy this one:
C: anak u dah bole ape?
D: duk bergolek2.
C: br bergolek? bukan dia tua dr anak i ke? anak i dah merangkak.
D: yeke.
C: u sabarlah ye. mungkin anak u cepat kat tempat lain. tak lama lagi merangkak la dia tu... [adakah ibu D berkata dia tidak sabar?]
D: takpe... tp dia dah boleh panggil Mama.
C: ha? dah boleh panggil Mama? cepatnye! anak i duk aaaa-aaa je lagi. nape ek? alamak, kenapa anak i takleh panggil Mama lg? risaunya... ada poblem ke anak i ni? [adakah awak fikir budak2 ini adalah robot yg sudah diset dengan program yg sama?]

*cerita2 di atas cuma rekaan, tiada kaitan dgn yg hidup & yg telah tiada, atau yg hidup segan mati tak mahu.
to me, as long as my little baby child(ren) is happy, healthy, and response time is good, i don't have any reason to worry about his weight or why doesn't he crawl at 7 month young :D and never ever think or say that our babies are 'loser', 'slow', 'later', etc. those words are for us, their mommies. if you think your baby is having problem in developmental, go to see the doctor, don't compare him with others, & never say that in front of him. never say "anak i ni slow la" while he's listening (even if we think he doesn't understand but baby absorbs). would we like to see our kids be 'slow' for the rest of their life?

i guess as a mommy i should:
  • pray for them
  • encourage not push
  • don't compare (even though between siblings)
  • never compete
  • provide the best platform for my babies to develop their senses
  • give them time
  • let them grow naturally
  • encourage their EQ & IQ
  • nurture them
  • help them to find their utmost potential first, then my expectation
  • ... and the list goes to infinity]
& remember that Albert Einstein didn't talk until he was 4.

Selamat Hari Pekerja

sempena hari pekerja (terasa diriku dihargai) & menjawab tag Mama Ryan yuk kita jenguk workstation Mami...

segan sebenarnya Mami nak tayang workstation Mami ni. sebab keadaannya tak ubah seperti sebuah kapal yang baru mengalami perpecahan. hehe.

sebelum tu meh tengok apebendenye ni...

ini adalah mata gerudi yg digunakan untuk menggali minyak nun jauh di dalam tanah. Mami pun tak pernah tengok cemana derang buat kat offshore, setakat belajar teori & tengok pakcik Bruce and geng buat dalam Armageddon je :P

manakala ini adalah crude oil atau minyak mentah. hitam legam je kalernya sebelum disaring di refinery menjadi minyak petrol dan minyak2 yg seangkatan dengannya. dalam each bottle tu diambik dari field yg berbeza2. ntah, Mami pun tak tau sgt sebab bukan kerja Mami.

[Mami pon xtau bole ke tak amik gambar benda2 ni. sambil2 tunggu Abiy Mami snap je. tp xde pon tulis 'dilarang mengambik gamba'. kire halal la..]

alah seganla nk tunjuk tempat Mami duduk hari2... tak menarik langsung. hehe.


ini ler pandangan Mami hari2. kat softboard tu ada Mami tempek reminder & to-do list, di samping name tag masa pegi OGA kat KL dulu (kenangan terindah dalam kerjaya haha) & gamba Mami amik cenderahati dari GM. hehe. gamba Hafiy xde satupon Mami tampal. Mami simpan kat henpon je. saja je nak nampak macam tak tawen lagi... hihihihihihi.


meja Mami dari jarak jauh. sangat open dan feng shui tidak berapa sesuai untuk membuat kerja2 haram yang tidak disuruh oleh company :P nampak beg susu kat belakang tu... yesterday masa checking kat gate pak gad tanye "apa dalam beg tu" Mami jawab "susu" tekejut dia, "ha? susu???" dengan selamba Mami menjawab lagi "a ah... susu baby :D"


ni dari jarak dekat jika Mami palingkan muka dari PC. dr zaman sekolah, sampai uni, sampaila sekarang macam ni la meja Mami. macam ni senang Mami nak cari barang. kalo susun2 elok2 mesti payah nak jumpe. hehe. itu pulak pembaris faveret Mami sebab dia besar & ada calculator sekali. & itu pen faveret Mami sebab dia free. hehe.

itu saja. xpayahla tahu lebih2 pasal tempat kerja Mami. cuti2 ni mari kita rehatkan minda daripada memikirkan tentang objeck legap itu.

main dengan Hafiy lagi best.

tapi cemanapun, Mami kene bekerja dengan dedikasi dan ikhlas. nanti ape plak jadi pada gaji Mami yg dipakai untuk menyara family... huhu. walaupun perasaan Mami adalah *@#$@#@* tapi Mami try to serve the nation ;) walaupun Mami cuma kuli sekuman, tidak berjawatan tinggi & peranan Mami kecik je, tapi kalo Mami takde, engineers sumer x boleh nak buat projek2 gali minyak sekaligus tak boleh nak menyumbang kepada pendapatan negara :D betapa pentingnya Mami-mu ini! --kata2 memujuk hati.

bak kata janitor di NASA "i'm not a janitor but i involve in sending people to the moon" [betul ke dia ckp camtu ek, belasah saje lah].

oh ye... hari ni juge adelah ulangtahun ke-3 'perkenalan' Mami-Abiy & ulangtahun ke-2 'pertunangan' Mami-Abiy. :D

jika anda rasa saya kacak, maka laksanakanlah tag ini :D
