Personal Taste

Just finished watching Personal Taste...I loved the drama. There were all elements that I loved in a Korean Drama. Funny, Romantic, Emotion....and the most special about this drama is the hero. LEE MIN HO. I've cried. I've laughed and I've smiled.

Browsing thru internet to find more about Lee Min Ho, I found that his birthday falls on the same day as Adran's birthday. Love it!

In was a coincident....and I just knew about it. Not that I can force myself to labour on that day right?

A Gift

We are currently in Ipoh for the weekend. Adran will be staying with my parents for two weeks and will be back in KL before Christmas since I have to go for study trip to Singapore next week.

I think, I'm gonna cry tomorrow. I never been apart from Adran. This would be my first time and I'm not sure how I'm gonna cope without him for this coming two weeks. And I hope he would be just fine without both of us.

Since I'm going to Singapore.....and targeting to buy watch for myself and my mom, we went to Wata Time to survey the price and get approval from my father. As usual, my father....who never trust anyone would question everything and deep down I knew that we got no chance to have our dream watch.

But fortunately, he said that if they can offer further discount he would buy the watch for me. He is a very good negotiator, so he present me the watch.

For what occasion? Christmas? Of course not....we don't celebrate Christmas. New Year? No! Guess what? His answer : Because 'teran' during giving birth to my precious Adran. Thank you very much Ayah!

I will do anything to have Adran....because Adran is the best Gift from Allah for me. Alhamdulillah.

First Turnover

Today is Adran's first turnover. I'm proud of you! Love you so very much.

The funny part, once he knew the tactic/skill to turnover...he kept turn back and forth.

Baby Swimming

Love this video. Showing three (3) months to eighteen (18) months baby learning to swim.

I want Adran to learn swimming too. But I'm not so sure how to let him go and try to float by himself and swim.

Fever

It's Adran's first time got fever. His temperature shoot to 38 degree Celsius. I'm so worried, but seeing him still happy and kept smiling, I felt relieved.

At clinic, waiting for doctor

Singapore Here I Come

I'm going for a Study Trip to Singapore with my colleague next month. Paper for the study trip has been approved by my CEO. So, we just have to prepare the hotel booking and confirm our itinerary for the trip.

Shopping for Adran

I've attended a seminar at Bukit Kiara, after the seminar I went to Mothercare @ BSC. A shopaholic like me can't resist myself not to buy anything.

Bought this silicone teether by Lifefactory and additional teats for 3 months up

Since Adran already 4 months plus, I'm so eager to bought accessories for his first solid. Can't wait for him to start eating solid this end December.

Beaba Silicone Spoon : Bought this in purple

Beaba Spoon & Folk Set : Bought this set

Beaba Babycook : I want this, but too espensive

Beside the Mothercare is Times Bookstore, so bought some books for Adran. Complete Baby & Childcare by Dr. Miriam (I have her book on pregnancy), Best Ever Cookbook (for Infant & Children) by Annabel Karmel and My Baby Book for keepsake.

Love all three books.

*You can find the Beaba product at Bebehaus at Bangsar Village.

Surprise!

My office colleague, bought a birthday cake for me and make a surprise. I'm totally surprised. I never thought that they would do that. Thank you so very much. You all just make my day.

Thanx to Kamil for 'merempit' to buy the cake

So, this is the cake...they kept remind me that I'm 30

Look, how happy I am?

Thanks you for all friends and family for the warm wishes. I'm so happy.

01 11 2010

Alhamdulillah, today is my birthday and I'm still alive, healthy and happy. Today I'm 30 years old.

In 2007, I was tagged to do post about 'Six Things I Wish To Do Before 30' . So, I want to evaluate what I had archived in this three (3) years.

My Dearest, Muhammad Adran Danial

My first wish, to get pregnant before I'm thirty. My wish had been granted, Alhamdulillah. I 've give birth to my beloved baby, Muhammad Adran Danial.

My second wish, to have our own house. We are still staying at my MIL house. We are currently preparing for planning submission. Hope that my wish can be granted in two or three years.

My third wish, to have higher income. I think I have higher income now compared to three years ago. Alhamdulillah.

My fourth wish, to win a car in a contest. I'm not a lucky person in contest. But we bought our current car in 2008.

My fifth wish, to have 20 pair of shoes and handbags. I think I got more than that. Hehehehe. Syukur to Allah for the rezeki.

During Mrs Wahiza's wedding

My sixth wish, to attend Ms Azida, Ms Dils, Ms Farah and Ms Umie's wedding. I managed to attend Ms Wahiza's and latest Umie's wedding last month. Cannot make it for Mrs Farah but when for her engagement. Hope to attend to Ms Azida and Ms Dils soon............:)

Adran and Jafaru

Just an update on Adran and his new buddy, Jafaru the Giraffe. He loved the giraffe so much and kept holding the giraffe near to him.

Umi's Hen Party

When for Umi's Hen Party organized by Ms. Dils at Nomad Sucasa. The event was schedule at 3.00pm, however due to Hari Raya and other engagement....most of the crowd arrived around 5.00 pm onwards. As for me....I can't stayed long as I came with my dearest Adran and he also was not feeling well due to his earlier jabbed that morning at PMC.

Me and the friends - photo from Ismarina's facebook

I enjoyed meeting up with my schoolmates even for a short time. But we will meet again on Umi's big day. See you all there!

Zoobies

I love the Zoobies! They came with three (3) different sizes....Baby, Regular and Jumbo.

What Makes Adran Happy

This Tolo The Chicken that always make Adran happy. Everytime we hang the CHICKEN at his car seat or at his cot, he will smiling and talking to the CHICKEN. Even if we put the CHICKEN on the ground, he kept watching it and smiling.

So, the CHICKEN is a must everywhere we go :)

Lunch @ Kizuna One, RPGC

Last Tuesday, Man and my dad went for fishing trip at Grik until Wednesday. Me and Adran stayed at my parent house in Ipoh with my mom.

We (me & my mom) have planned months before to have lunch at a Japanese Restaurant at Royal Perak Golf Club. Since, nobody else were at home.......we went there for lunch and bring Adran along.

Entrance

I love the environment of the restaurant. The environment is suitable for business luncheon and family dinner (if only the whole family love Japanese's food)...unfortunately, Man hates Japanese's food.

Inside the restaurant

This what my mom ordered

This is what I've ordered...look dulled, but the taste is okey

Aidilfitri 2010 with New Family Member

This year Hari Raya Aidilfitri, means a lot to me and my family with our new family member, Muhammad Adran Danial.

My mom holding Adran

Our theme color for this year was pink. Actually, I have no intention to make baju melayu for Adran, but changed my mind when my dearest Mrs. Izwanee advised to do so. Immediately after my confinement period, went to Ria Moda in Ipoh to bought the material and send to Aunty Diana. Thanx to her, Adran got to wear his first baju melayu.

Adran with his third cousin, Nur Kasih Melissa

Adran was sleeping soundly from one house to another. He was sleeping in the above photo but he managed to smile when Nur Kasih Melissa hold him....ekekekekek. So, cute! What a boy.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri

Maaf Zahir & Batin


*To all my friends & relatives, I will be in Ipoh until Friday, 17th September 2010...Jemput le datang beraya!

Iftar @ Concord KL

When to Concord KL for Iftar with Man's office mates last Saturday. The food was not as good as last year. So, it was quite disappointment for me :(

I was hoping that they were having sup gear box....but zero! But the entertainment is still the same. Loved the band. They were very versatile!

Enjoy the dim sum, steam fish and especially the prawn mee. Others are just okey.

Cherry Dot Cookie

This is a proven recipe copied from Kellogg's Corn Flakes Hari Raya Box.

Ingredient:

2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (not necessary)
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoon fat-free milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup finely chopped, pitted dates
1/3 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries
2 2/3 cups Kellogg's Corn Flakes (crushed to 1 1/2 cups)
15 maraschino cherries, cut into quarters

Method:

1. In mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

2. In large electric mixer bowl, beat butter and sugar until light fluffy. Add eggs. Beat well. Stir in milk and vanilla essence. Add flour mixture, combining thoroughly. Stir in nuts, dates and 1/3 cup cherries.

3. Portion dough using level tablespoon. Shape into balls. Roll in Kellogg's Corn Flakes cereal. Place about 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Top each cookie with cherry quarter.

4. Bake at 350 degree Fahrenheit (180 degree Celsius) about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Removed immediately from baking sheets and cool on wire rack. Store in airtight container.

* I'm opt to exclude the nuts, dates and fine chopped cherries.

Baby Update

Last Saturday, we went for Adran's check-up plus 5 in 1 vaccination (polio, tetanus, pertussis, diphtheria & meningitis) for first dose. Alhamdulillah, he didn't cried at all and don't have any fever. Currently, Adran's already 5.6kg.

Adran's in his car seat on the way to the hospital

However, the paediatrician, Dr. Foo told us that there is murmur in his heart beat. An appointment with paediatric cardiologist, Dr. Azam has been set on 30th August to check Adran's heart condition. Both of us was so worried.

* Update: From our check-up with Dr. Azam, there is no problem with his heart. It just a tiny blood vessel outside the heart that should be closed after birth that create the murmur. We need to have a monthly follow-up to monitor the blood vessel. We were thinking to change Adran's paediatrician to Dr. Azam. Plus, Adran's weight has increased to 5.87kg. Increased 0.27kg in two days.

In his new swing

After that, we went to myBBstore at Kuchai Lama which is on the way back from PMC to our house. Our planned was to try the baby swing and if Adran's comfortable with it will purchase the swing for him. Once we put him on the swing....dozzzzzzzzzzz. So, we bought him the swing.

Aidilfitri Ongoing Promotion!

Online Aidilfitri's promotion is so hot! It is very very HOT indeed. With Free Shipping and many other promotions!

I've thought that since I'm in maternity leave, I could save money since I didn't go out unless to the hospital. But the internet and my shopping nafsu (since shopping for myself was put on hold in order to accommodate for Adran's things) was so eager to have something new.

From Kate Spade : I want both handbags and the shoe

I love a big handbag with compartment and the gold handbag is what I choose. But the black leather handbag with tassel was also great for weekend use and it match with a pair of black suede flat with tassel. Since, it was difficult to buy shoe online since you can't tried it on plus that I've already spend so much on handbags and wallets and so many other things....the shoe was put a side.

Juicy Couture : I want the Pink Powder, but Black is easy

When I first look at this wallet, I've fallen in love with the design especially the tassel and the Pink Powder color. But when I think holding the wallet while buying nasi campur and etc will ruin the wallet, I opt for the black one instead. I think, the tassel is my thing for this time being.

Kate Spade : Go With The Flow Bangle

I've ordered this bangle for my dearest mother since she doesn't want baju kurung for Aidilfitri from Sue together with Adran's clothes for Aidilfitri.

Back To Ipoh

This was my first experienced travel with Adran. Since the journey from Ipoh - Bangi takes about 2 hours, it could be considered as okey. I can't imagine our journey to Perlis for Aidilfitri. I have to learn some tricks from all experiences moms out there.

But for one night stay trip, it was quite exhausting for me and maybe also for Adran.

However, I've managed to settle all the things that I need to do in Bangi. Another two weeks, my holiday is over. Baby, Work, Fasting !!!!

To all my friends & family, Selamat Menyambut Bulan Ramadhan & Selamat Berpuasa. Maafkan salah dan silap.

Bangi Here We Come!

Tomorrow morning, we (me, Adran and my parents) are going to Bangi for Kenduri Tahlil for Arwah Mustapa Kamal (my father-in-law). So, me and Adran will overnight at Bangi.

I have so many things to do.

1. Clean our room
2. Change bed sheet
3. Set-up Adran's baby cot
4. Organized our toilets
5. Organized toilettries
6. and so many more when I reach Bangi.

The New Face of Adran

Not a makeover or what...hehehehe.


He is officially hairless....thanks to Man and his courage to shave by himself.
