teramat sibuk

pheww, it's been really hectic. there's never enough time, and i miss writing about dearie wife and aisya sayang. in fact, i have a meeting to catch up to in 10 minutes.

i'll rush through the things i wanna say,

• wife, i love u especially when u're pregnant, even though at times u think ur fat and unattractive, but dear, doubt not, your growing tummy is the loveliest sight to behold.

• dear daughter, happy 1st birthday ever, papa's been slacking a lot, too tired to play sometimes with you my lil angel. It's been trying times for me of late, financially, work and what not. I'll make it up to you, i promise.

• dear daughter, i dunno but i just notice that u are like me in many funny ways. U talk in your sleep like i do, fart as indiscriminately as i, and forever restless in your undertakings as i have all my life. i love u for the little smiles, and whacks u give me in the face, i know i deserve those.

got work to do, people to meet, memos to signs, and im not sure what i doing sometimes. but this i know, i wanna get home and kiss both my love tonight!

gynae n paed @ UMRA

8/12/2009

i did my 7 months check up @ UMRA sec 13, why not DEMC? my gynae pi buat haji.. hopefully dia ada masa i nak deliver nnt. i sgt2 suka gynae ni, sgt2 lembut, baik and bersifat ibu2.. sakit nak keluarkan baby dr perut pun bleh kurang kalau die handle rasanya (lembut n sopan sgt orangnye)..

as for aisya, sbb paed pun ade kat UMRA, so trus dapatkan 1st year punya jab kat situ. Alhamdulilah, supergirlku tak nangis.. gagah anak mama nih..

1 year / 12 months : 9.99kg ; 77cm

TOTAL BILL : rm289 (errkkk!! *&%$$@@@^#$%^*& sakit jiwa)


p/s: cerita pasal birthday aisya kami blom sempat post lg.. hmm computer hantar pi reformat, so takde akses.. papa plak sgt2 bz nak update.. insyaallah ada kesempatan, kami letak gmbar bnyk2, bukan gmbr mamapapa, tp si kenit aisya!! ooohhh sgt obses ngan budak nih!!

Tsk..tsk

I'm working on PM shif today [2.15pm - 11pm], on my way to the office, i received a call from nenek (mama) informing me that aisya is crying, she was looking for me sbb masa nak kuar rumah td i umpan dia dgn susu sebotol, masa dia asyik minum susu, i kissed her and senyap2 keluar rumah pi keje..

So masa nenek call tu, aisya tgh nangis smbil sebut "mama", "mama" [leh dgr thru phone okeh].. kesiannnyee, she was looking for me, dr satu bilik ke satu bilik, bila tak jumpa dia keluar pi bilik lain and cari.. tsk2

I did communicate with aisya thru phone, when i called her name [nenek buat loud speaker], dia gelak n cuba cari jugak kat mana la mama dia - kut2 nyorok kat mana2 dlm umah tu.. pity her :(

p/s: ni baru sorang anak, nnt yg kedua keluar.. 2 org cari mama, aduhaii, sebaknye tinggalkan anak2 kat umah ni..

she's like a fish to water

sakitnyaa!!

BACKPAIN.. tsk, berdiri lenguh, duduk sakit, baring pun sakit.. i need to rely on the patches yg doc kasi kat klinik, tampal kat blakang tiap2 mlm sblm tido.. urut?? sudi aje suami terchenta nak urutkan, tp kalau tiap2 mlm kena urut, takut tukang urut turut sakit.. hurmmm

lil pony ride

was at toysrus yesterday when i came across this rubber pony. Apa lagi, i put aisya on the pony's back to see what she'll do and hehe taddaaaaa, our own lil cowgirl.



p/s: i dont know how to flip the video, help!

video delight

this was taken before lil sayang could actually walk unassisted.

AISYA WALKS!!!!

I purposely besarkan tajuk entry kali ni, haha!! i'm too excited, sbb aisya dah berjalan dgn jayanya.. no pegang2, tangan angkat ke atas - balancing skill you'all!! selalunya, bila nak suruh dia berjalan, mama n papa kena duduk/diri dlm distance yg agak2 dia bleh sampai, tp smlm, nmpk sgt dia practice sorang2, mama ke, papa ke, nenek ke, tok ke semua tak yah standby dkt dia.. dia set perhentian dia sendiri, dari meja ke sofa, sofa ke almari tv, mula2 jarak dekat, pastu makin jauh n jauh!! bukan jalan straight je, siap bleh belok2, bleh stop jap n sambung jalan tanpa berhenti duduk pun.. owwhh brilliant aisya!!

Disbbkan terlampau excited "dpt kaki" ni, smlm Aisya x tido sepanjang hari, sibuk dgn aktiviti memanaskan badannya.. muka tak penat langsung, aktiviti merangkak semakin dipinggirkan.. huhu eksyenn!!

Lepas keluar hosp, 5/11/2009 aisya turns 11 months old, n 7/11/2009 aisya berjalan.. Alhamdulilah..

Skrg 8.40am 8/11/2009, aisya masih tidur dgn nyenyaknye.. sbb mlm td tidur lewat dkt 12midnite..

As for me, maybe backpain mama akan kurang sket sbb aisya dah tak nak mama dukung (ye ke??), or mama mungkin beralih ke skill berjogging plak sbb adegan kejar2 akan bermula!! yeeehaaa!!

MAMA LUVS AISYA SOOOO MUCHHH!! and papa too!!

My Baby You....

Tak tahu nak describe perasaan bila tgk Aisya sakit,
Cuba jd kuat (tak nangis) nak lalui semua ni,
Tp bila tgk Aisya tidur dlm keadaan suhu bdn yg sgt2 tinggi cecah 40 degree,
Tidur pun bunyi mengerang, aduhai, nak luruh jantung rasanya..
Kesian sgt tgk tomey2 tanggung sakit mcm ni..

Dr hari Isnin (19 oct) malam, Aisya dah mula demam,
Hari Selasa ke DEMC, Rabu juga ke DEMC, doctor suh admit tp mama n papa decide nak monitor dulu, smpai ptg nmpak mcm ok, panas dah kurang,
Hari Khamis, mama pi kerja, request papa utk standby jg Aisya kat rumah nenek,
Rupanya demam dtg lagi, smpai DEMC doctor cepat2 basahkan kain utk lap Aisya sbb tempreture terlampau tinggi..
Mama balik dr ofis (sempat keja 1 jam je), trus ke DEMC n Aisya harus admit..

Seksa tgk Aisya kena drip, nangis kuat gila mcm kena dera + seksa ngan doctor n nurses sepanjang procedure.. mcm kena carik2 jantung mama tgk Aisya masa tu.. OMG
@ DEMC, tiap2 hari tempreture Aisya naik turun tak menentu, dahla tak selesa dgn drip kat tangan, Aisya asyik tunjuk pintu ajak keluar, x tak mau duk dlm bilik..

Hari Sabtu, bdn Aisya naik ruam, kata nenek ni demam campak (measles), tp doctor kata bukan.. yg pasti lg tinggi tempreture, lg bnyk ruam tu keluar.. smpai satu tahap, kaki, mulut, jari semua jd biru n Aisya gigil.. Nangis lagi mama, sbb terlampau takut, Aisya dah tak henti nangis, gigi dah berlaga2 (sejuk kot)..Mama pelluukkk Aisya kuat2 supaya rasa panas, smpai Aisya kurang menggigil.. Mama tgk muka papa - risau, muka nenek - risau, tok - risau.. Mama nangis lg dan lg dan lg..
Kalaula bleh trfer sakit tu kat mama..

4 mlm kami di DEMC, Aisya discharged on Monday 26/10/09, doctor tgk demam Aisya tak recurring within 24 hours, tu sbb bleh balik..
Nak keluar, nak cabut drip, Aisya nangis lagi.. Mama tau mesti sakit sgt.. Tangan bengkak air,dlm 2 or 3 hari mungkin surut kata doctor..

Hari ni, mama dah nmpak GLOW kat muka Aisya, my real Aisya is back!! Alhamdulilah..
Aisya dah mula menari, mula cakap2, mula respond, owhh dah gelak dekah2.. hmm rindunye Aisya..

p/s: To Papa - thank you for ur patience, kindness, understanding, and thank you for ur never ending love..
To Nenek, Opah and Toks - we thanked you guys for ur concern and time, not forgetting; ur love MMUUAAHHH

human nature or is it nurture?

rynn works on shifts, and her off days are not usually on weekends, so i'm privileged enough to be able to be a full time house husband on those weekends. on these particular days i would spent the whole time with lil sayang, playing my caretaker part, and at times we do go out on little excursion to the mall, fast-food joints, etc.

It's on these outings, a clumsy dad with the cute little munchkin, would go out into the open world without the security of a caring mom and we meet a lot of people on these trips.

if you are a parent, a father particularly, you would have noticed the extra attention that is required of us when we bring along a baby, that wonderful little explorer of ours. Its during these bring-along(s) that i've come to know along good folks around us. people who:-

• open doors for you when they see you stumbling to carry your baby in the sling, while pushing baby-related stuff.
  
• offer help to transfer groceries from the shopping cart to the cashier when they see you with a sleeping child on your elbow.
• these are the same people who would let you get in front of them in long queues.
• go out of the way to pick up things the lil one would drop on the floor,
• they do it without being asked to, do it with grace and smile, and they make my day.

but its not everyday i meet these people. i do get people staring at me when my child is slightly noisy, as if we've invaded their privacy. i feel sad sometimes when aisya drops her pacifier while im helplessly carrying her and all the other stuff, and the person in front of me merely shifts her feet so that i can bend down with everything on me to pick it up. i feel really sad to know that there are those among us who couldn't-care-less about others, who are like soulless-walking-flesh. I don't want sympathy, heck i dont even need it from you, what i do need is some consideration.

just imagine, if it affects a able-bodied person like me, what then to those single mothers carrying all her lil darlings along?

i promise myself that i would show my child(ren) not what they should do, but essentially how they would like others to treat them. the reason simply being, when the people treat me with little courtesy like opening doors and making ways in elevator, it warms and touch me, it strengthens my belief that they are good folks around, that people arent born nasty.

to those kind souls out there, my most genuine and heart-felt smiles are dedicated to you.

my worries as a dad

these are my concerns:

i'm worried i'm not a good enough role model for my dotting child.

i'm worried she'll be disappointed that one day when she asks me math question and i would be clueless.

i'm worried when i see kids too young to be be doing what they are doing on the streets.

i'm worried about the kind of education she'll go through.

i'm worried about a lot of other things.

parenthood is certainly rewarding, as much as it is worrisome.

aisya says...

what do pop & ma expect?
i cant talk yet duh!

1Malaysia?

I bet you have noticed the excessive amount of ads bombarded daily through every medium possible, the mass media, in all the bills (astro/celcom), and what not, but it kinda raised my eyebrow when i start having people who meet me greeting "Salam 1Malaysia" instead of the normal good morning.

Was Malaysia ever more than 1 that you need to proclaim it as such?

I understand the need to unite the people,

but i think we can really call ourselves Malaysians,

• when a chinese is able to tell me in jest that the malays are simply lazy without me wielding a keris at him.
  
• when a malay can tell his chinese buddy that all chinese are cheats when it comes to money, without the friend swearing profanities at him,
• and when we can tell an indian that all indians are "kaki belit" without being hit with a hockey stick.

we're so sensitive towards all racial markers, that i think we really need learn to be insensitive.

and please, do we really need theme songs for every other awareness campaign?

all we need is some ♥ people, some brotherly universal ♥.

Aisya , GiGi, BerJaLaN n Kasut

Bulan Sept'09 baru ni performance kerja agak tak bagus, sbb ada MC, EL (aisya demam + pakcik meninggal dunia) dan TIMEOFF.. Annual Leave dah la tinggal sikit je, iskk harap2 Aisya ni kesihatannye bagus la.. Main reason paragraph ni sebenarnye nak cerita yg bulan september ni performance tak brape bagus sbb anak kesayangan intan payung umbrella kerap2 kali tak sihat..bulan aisya tumbuh gigi, walaupun last update (16/9/2009), ade dinyatakan gigi blom kuar, tp skrg dah ade!! CAKK!!

Ckp pasal gigi aisya ni,rasa nak gelak.. pertama, rasanya mcm agak lmbat baby tumbuh gigi umur 9 bulan (sbb tgk anak org lain sebaya Aisya dah ade at least 4 batang; 2 atas + 2 bwh), kedua, setakat hari ni, Aisya dah kuar 2 btg gigi; 1 di bawah (tengah) n 1 di atas (bukan yg tengah, tp kat tempat yg taring tu ;p) cuba kasik jari kalau berani, ketar2 kpala die gigit woo!! ketiga, makanan bayi dah makin tak gemar, salah sy sendiri jugak, suka kasik aisya try mknan mcm2, n die plak semua benda go ajekk, lagi syokla teman suap.. Ntahla, kalau ikut perkiraan pak n mak nujum, tu la sbb bdn die sat ok, sat mcm nak demam, nak meragam + memerap.. sbb GiGi ni la..

Tp dgn adanye bantuan nenek, pembantu, tok n papa, alhamdulilah, dgn kudrat yg Allah beri ni segalanya dpt diharungi.. walaupun slalu merungut sbb kena dukung aisya (sbb tak larat, aisya ni tulang besi urat dawai, tak duk diam masa dukung, asyik nak memanjat mcm spiderman), bukan ape, sbb utama adalah t**t, kehkeh, ade sorang lagi dibo2 dlm perut.. gynea pesan jgn slalu sgt dukung Aisya, tak bagus, risau prelabour plak.. doa2 jauhkanla dr prelabour tu..

Gigi dah kuar, Berjalan?? haa ni best part nak update, aisya masa 7 bulan dah mula memanjat, jalan meniti perabot atau objek2 berdekatan, so kami assumed die ni cepatla jalannye (maksud sy ialah jln sendiri tanpa bantuan ape2), so dgn konfidennya sy tempah baju kurung raya dgn harapan Aisya nmpak segak berbaju kurung n bleh berjalan.. kehkeh, tp rupanya die tak mau / belum sedia nak jalan lagi..Tp sampai hari ni, setakat 5 tapak jln tanpa bantuan tu dah bleh dah.. Alhamdulilah, nak kena rajin melayan n training smbil gelak2, baru la berjaya n die nak cuba.. hmm bnyk akal btul ini amoii!! Walker? dulu masa die 5 bulan kot, ade beli, tp Aisya sgt2 benci n rimas duk dlm tu.. Walker tu hanya jadi bahan die tolak kesana kemari je, duk dalam tu?? huh tak layann n nangis suh angkat keluar..

Walaupun baru berjinak2 dgn aktiviti berjalan ni, ade satu issue timbul.. Aisya tak suka pakai kasut n sewaktu dgnnye.. tak smpai 1 min, die sendiri tanggalkan.. Ntah ape yg die rimas pasal kasut, kami blom jumpa jawapan lagi.. takkan nak kaki ayam plak tomey2?? dlm rumah ok la, ni kat luar pun nak redah, kes berat nih.. takpe, mungkin aisya pun nak kasut comfy mcm org lain? Nnt mama papa usaha dapatkan..

Sy kaji selidik + perhati Aisya, byk character die yg sama dgn papaRidz.. Manja + memerap, mcm lebih ke mama (sbb papa die garang woo!! Aisya slalu merajuk ngan papa esp kalau papa balik kerja lmbat) tp sifat2nya lebih ke papa. Cara merajuk, refused to look at papa's face.. toleh muka tgk benda or tempat lain.. Dramaqueen btol, skill nangis tipu yg kadang2 mama n papa bleh terpedaya.. Moga2 Aisya pandai mcm papa, Mama? Mama baikkkk! (Jgn muntah u'olls) kwang2kwang!!! Adeke patut puji diri sendiri??

Dah macam merapu ni.. oraitlah, smpai cni dulu, chioww!!

p/s: bila agaknye nak buat open house ni? Sgt hepi dpt kumpul ramai2 kan?kan?

hows the new look?

Salam raya peeps, lama sungguh tak update, pelbagai cerita nak dikongsi, tapi badan penat, otak letih, masa suntuk, bila ye nak update?

this is our blog post no. 101, the mark the occasion, we've changed the look, but sigh some stuff are missing due to some glitches.

ENTRI ABC (campur2)

selamat berpuasa

it's the fasting month, scared and holy, with the hot weather, h1n1 lurking, it will be a month of dugaan, insyallah timbul keinsafan di kalbu.

mak and syahmi is in madinah rite now, bless them for being there at this time, i miss mak's voice, i hope she's well there, the last i heard of her voice was on wednesday. i hope syahmi is enjoying himself as well.

it's been a tiring month for me physically and mentally, the long hours at work, the mental fatigue i've been experiencing, the list goes on. but a friend said that maybe things happen for reasons, sometimes beyond realistic explanations. "wan, mungkin kau tak cukup bersyukur kot", which was a simple yet acceptable explanation for me. sometimes we (I in this case) are just not grateful enough with the blessings that God has given us, we're so busy chasing what's it front of us, that we fail to see the simple luxuries we have. being happy with what we're endowed with, saying our thanks for may be the rite medicine to cure our heart of this burden. look and stop at others with leser fortunes, remember that the sun and air is still free might be what we need.

Selamat berpuasa dear families and friends, may your month be blessed. to my dear wife, i love you dear, more than ever, for ever and ever, for you i'm strong.

she's stepping it up

Aisya ni suka kasi papa + mama dia secret surprises.

E.g: Yesterday while i was sending Opah (mak) and Paksu (syahmi) to KLia to catch their flight for their Umrah (alhamdullilah, see you guys in 14 days), mama dgn aisya duduk rumah tak ikut because of all this h1n1 thingy lar, sedih.

While i was there and they were @ home, both of them were watching tv & rynn nak ambik air or something so she left aisya in front of the tv for a few seconds, which is normal because lil ms. precious here is always preoccupied with her secret activities. When she came back from the kitchen rynn terus panic sebab she couldnt find aisya, so she called her name but there wasnt any reply.

Do guess where the lil angel was; yeap she was 3/4 of the way upstairs, doing all that in complete silence.

current reading: outliers

Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcom Gladwell.

i'm in the midst of reading it @ 10 pages a day, and so far i find it enlightening.
which remind me that there's still 4 books i've bought which are unread.

i need a breakaway from the job. period.

work has gotten to me!

absence makes the heart fonder, they say;
i hope it's true because i miss updating her pics,
and her current progress,
btw, she can kiss u and make muahhh sounds.

7even

Yes folks she is seven months old. she got style, attitude and personality, and i used to think that all babies are a like.

she's a master crawler now, and has moved on to climbing, and at the moment she's starting to moon walk all day long.

fishy experience

baru ni pergi kenko fish spa dekat midvalley, kalau harapkan keluar duit sendiri mungkin tak pergi kot sebab 38 bucks for 1/2 hours punya fishy experience. tetapi disebabkan jasa baik auntie ju provide free vouchers dari tahun lepas lagi, so the 3 of us took the plunge lar before the vouchers expired. i think aisya likes fish, though we didn't dare to dip her legs in...

woot....woot!

too many things happened in this week..

• my precious aisya dah crawl dgn baik, smpai lutut pun melecet sbb asyik nak crawl (nak kena beli knee pad ni, mcm pemain bola tu)

• 24/6/09 aisya berdiri / bangun sendiri dgn berpaut pada palang cot, sejak dari tu asal nmpak benda yg die bleh paut esp tepi katil, pasti nak cuba berdiri!

• aisya dah jarang minum susu, mcm dah tak suka je dgn ISOMIL (soybased) ni.. nak tukar ke formula ape plak pas ni??

• minggu yg buat sy asyik fikir ttg perut yg agak tidak cantik, carik info ttg minuman utk kurus, ubat2 kurus, gel2 sapu utk rampingkan badan.. aduss!! sgt stress!!

• 28/6/09, sy dan ridz akan berada di Istana Budaya utk konsert yg ditunggu2!! YEAHH!! tq to my dear hubby sbb sudi belanja n teman sy utk konsert ni.. ngehngeh

• aisya kena cucuk BCG skali lagi sbb BCG yg dulu tak menjadi.. sian aisya, mesti die sakit kena cucuk kat tangan nnt..

she's not camera shy

adess, anakku ini suka lah sangat posing. what to do, she keeps on giving us something to giggle at, and the next time you meet aisya, try snaping a pic, see how she reacts, banyak kelakar la ini baby.

p/s: know of any baby photo contest? ping me.

photo ranger lah baby ni

sayang aisya ni, always ready to pose for a snap, at times when she cries kite keluar camera nak snap jek terus put on her best smile and pose, macam mana tak sayang kat munchkin ni.

Aisya sit??

well, lil aisya yg tak lulus 100% merangkak nmpaknye dah lompat ke satu skill lagi.. dari position ala2 kucing tu, die dah pandai "park" punggung and rest (pic will be uploaded later) tangan sebelah masih lagi di lantai utk menampung bdn.. nak duduk sgt dah manje mama nih.. ntah bleh faham ke dgn description i ni?? hmm tunggu ridz upload gmbar la ek..

btw, skill ni aisya dah buat since last week.. haishh, nenek kata aisya ni rajin (x berat punggung) a.k.a lasak sebenarnyee.. kalau masa die berjaga, asyikla nak ajak org main ngan die.. org da penat tp die steady lg, nak main lg, dan lg, dan lg, dan lagii.. playful sungguh muchup muchup mama n papa ni..

kalau letak dlm cot, dua tiga kali terhantuk.. sbb tak diam, nak panjat pastu jap lagi tangan sangkut celah palang2.. yg hairannye, aisya maintain cool n tak nangis.. supergirll!!

mama skrg dah buatkan bubur utk aisya.. ingredients - nasi segenggam, ubi + carrot potong dadu, rencah kadang2 ayam, daging or ikan bilis.. mama tak blend pun sbb 1st time blend hari tu rupanya sgt tak menarik and aisya mcm geli geleman bila mama suap.. so bila tak blend, semua ingredients td ala2 kasar tp sgt lembuut.. mama lenyek je sket2, no doubt aisya bleh chew dgn baik.. mungkin sbb mama dah start weaning since aisya 4 mnths old kot..

itu je la utk entri kali ni.. kalau ade gmbr mungkin lagi bnyk mama nak cerita..

congrats zuri & azri

Penat tapi seronok.

itulah diskripsi perjalanan ke perkahwinan zuri dan azri di temerloh, pahang.
this is the pic, nnt update, penat lagi ni. hehe

aisya hits six

words cant describe what she means to us

indah khabar dari rupa

that's the apt description for nasi lemak antarabangsa kampung baru (since 1973) newly launched in ttdi jaya. mama rynn + lil aisya + i went lunching yesterday, teringat ada kedai baru bukak with really nice deco, looks comfy for the baby, try lah konon.

so we ordered,
2 nasi lemak (rm2.95 per serving i think),
paru goreng (rm3.++),
ayam masak merah (rm4.95 i think)
teh'o' ice, teh'o'ice limau (can't remember)
total = rm23.++

in my humble opinion, nasi tak berlemak langsung(plain speaking - lousy), sambal, paru, ayam semua masam macam nak basi.

bottomline : lousy food + expensive = never going again

aisya and her new skill @ skills??

yesterday our day was lifted by the skill shown by lil' aisya..as usual, aisya wont do it when we are around... masa mama n papa sibuk kemas bilik smlm, die kat atas katil dr baring --> meniarap --> munyusur --> taadaa!!! angkat buntut n tangan serentak (mcm kucing tu)and goyang2 badan.. she is still in the stage of figuring how to move kot.. thats why the goyang happened larr kot..

aisya is going to be 6 mths old in another 1 week time.. hmm just to share my thots with u guys.. sepanjang my 9 mths mengandungkan aisya, i sgt2la jarang minum susu (i tak suka and i'm allergic to the white color milk).. so gynae prescribed calcium, i mean the pills utk cover la ape2 yg patut yg kurang dlm badan nih.. tp itupun i slalu skip... ridz yg rajin mkn all those calcium pills.. hmm towards the end of the pregnancy, i amik jugakla, bcoz deep inside my heart ade gak la rasa takut baby kurang calcium, nnt baby lembik la, lmbt angkat tengkuk la, malas nak gerak la.. mcm2 la org kata.. tp alhamdulilah, progress aisya so far baikk, bdn keras, kalau dukung skrg asyik mintak lepas, pegang kaki lepas kat bwh dgn kuatnye die lompat2 (happy feet).. start meniarap masa 2 mths ++, 3 mths die rolled over dgn baik, 4 mths dah gerak mcm askar, and now dah nak merangkak.. i'm sooo happy and bersyukur..

bila fikir2, ni semua Allah punya kuasa, kalau Dia izinkan, semua akan jadi.. insyaallah... hugs n kisses to u AISYA MYSARA.. muaxx

tok guru lantai

was doing some grocery shopping with sayang yesterday when she spotted this brand.

i just have to share it with everyone.

cool.

baby qaisara on board

p/s: sayang kena edit post ni ye!

are we alike?

many have said that aisya looks like me, ye ke? u be the judge and tell me! apart from the dimples i cant spot apa yang sama lor.

i.s.o workshop

@ armada p.j. going thru this tormenting workshop since yesterday on how to go about getting MS ISO 9001:2008 for the org, not really keen on it though its for some sort of betterment.

miss my lil angel & darling, didnt not wake up to their faces today.

entah

i dunno where i going in terms of me career.

a tesl grad, i taught english for while in uitm, many of the rest were basically in the same line, teaching. it was a sound option, ok salary and relatively easy job, and i felt bored...

yet i went on to do my masters (i've stopped at the 2nd semester - bored?) because i've landed on another job which looked a tad more interesting.

and i dunno, wierd lar because right now i'm dealing with land matters.

i've no idea where i'm heading to and i just hope frost's the road not taken applies to me.

go figure! (directed at meself)

happy mother's day

you must be thinking that ooo-ohhh ridz lupa ucap happy mothers day kat dear wife rynn, hehe nah i didn't forget, just that i wanna put it in words.

mommy rynn,
my greatest love,
mom to my lil angel,
always putting us before yourself,
showering us with love,
selfless / generous,
caring / gentle,
the sexiest mommy ever
('-')

p/s: aisya sends her love and thanks for the new car seat.

aisya's first word

mmm..mmmm... mmamaamaa.. mamamabababa..

how are these words produced by lil aisya?? kalau ikut kajian mama sendiri, lately aisya suka sgt 'kemam' lower lip die.. bila die nak tido, aisya nyanyi lagu sendiri smpai tido.. lagu die mmm.. mmm.. mmm (ada tone turun naik).. tetiba smlm masa papa n mama siap2 nak keluar jalan ni, die kat atas katil duk golek2 smbil tarik kaki ke mulut, keluarkan bunyi precious "mmm mommamaabbaaabaaba.."

since aisya discovered yg die bleh keluarkan dua suku kata ni, she keeps on practising smpaila skrg, asal ade org duk ckp dekat die, mulalah nak tunjuk skill..



mama n papa are veryy very teruja with the new skill that u have up to now lil aisya!! syabbass mere bette!!

Hehe, but i've just bumped myself up to a wifi + qwerty keyboard mobile, shucks first time in my life that ive used a phone that's more than 400 bucks.

hehe, it does feel cool to update ur blog from da phone!

p/s: i know ppl have been doing it for ages :p

aisya gives us the kicks

pimping up the lawn (after)

it used to look like this

now it looks like this, but 10% of it is still under progress coz the gardener cabut, so terpaksa pandai2 buat sendirila.

and she turns 5 mths..

aisya, aisya n aisya

our cute darlling part 2

aisya lately dah pandai pegang botol susu.. tp tak la die pegang smpai habis susu sbb attentionnya cepat sgt berubah pd benda lain n menyebabkan die mula nak tarik/cabut botol dr mulut walaupun die nak susu tu lagi.. blom pandai control sepenuhnye..

owh tp bile die btul2 lapar, pandai plak die jaga botol tu supaya lekat je kat mulut smapai habis susu.. hmm chaiyokk chaiyokk!!

yummy yumm for lil aisya

mama dah tak sabar sgt nak kasi aisya mkn.. last bile pi jln2 ngan nenek ke tesco shah alam mama nmpak ade HEINZ utk infant 4 mths old.. yeayy!! mama belikan perisa epal+banana and 1 bottle of fruit juice utk aisya..

ade rasa mcm takut jugak la masa nak kasik mkn takut tersedak or aisya tak reti nak telan.. tp alhamdulilah, mama's super girl ni mkn dgn baik n excited smpai tak sabar nak tungu suapan yg seterusnye..

since this is the first time for both of us, as for mama - x reti nak agak brapa bnyk nak suap and for aisya - suap je, hilang, suap lagi, hilang.. mm takpe kite try sikit2 dulu okeh baby gurrrrl..

rasanye benda ni tak cukup kenyang kutt, nnt dah 6 mths mama nak belikan farley rusks ngan alaaa ape tuh yg ade beras halus tu!! nestumm eh ntahla.. mama check balik nnt. hehe

papa?? haa die dah nmpk aisya mkn dgn baik, so papa plak yg excited utk beli HEINZ flavor lain plak.. so aisya, enjoy your makan!!

saturday suxx

it's a saturday morning and you're already up and running by 6.30, even the birds are cuddling in their nest.

both of us are at work, kesian aisya at home,
working on holidays should be banned.

our cute darlling

aisya dah masuk 4 mths+.. progress??

• mula meniarap pd umur 2 mths+; skarg dah sgt pro dlm skill menggulingkan diri, tak kisah la ke kanan or ke kiri, semua lulus..

• gelak ketawa - pantang org ajak die main, gelak berdekah2 ;)

• tangan n kaki sgtla kuat, kalau letak dlm walker (test kat shopping mall) dgn confidentnye die duduk smbil goyang2 kaki!!
  

• sgt kenal ngan mama n papa, kalau nangis jgnla org lain cuba pujuk - tak layan!!

• rambut?? tak bnyk, bila mama kasi pakai headband, die tarikk..

• dah kenal bile org makan, kalau aisya nmpk, susu die tolak tepi.. muka mcm nak mintak org suapkan mknan.. (mama pernah suap aiskrim sket, mushroom soup sket, roti skett..) haha

• kalau org sua tangan nak dukung, bdn lentik2 mintak org angkat..

info penting - mama n papa tau aisya sgt enjoy kalau bwk die gi jalan esp shopping!! hoho!!

house warming update

To be honest both of us were nervous bout the house warming for the new house in Nusa Rhu, sebelum ni cuma attend orang lain punya, pergi-makan-balik, but this time round we were the host and there were so many things that we had to think about.

Alhamdulillah at the end of it, everything went really well, and many thanks goes to both our parents for the labour and love that they put in, plus the financial stimulus that was injected into the whole project. Kudos to my darling wife for being such a steady soul, if it was left only to me sure bungkus punya. And thank you sayang aisya for being such a darling, our lil smiling ambasador.

And thank you family, friends and all that came, because if not of you sure a lot of food bungkus masuk tong sampah punya. macam harsh pulak, i mean you guys made our day-lah!

pimping up the lawn (before)

this is what the garden looks like now, tomorrow it's gonna be pimped up man!

she's three

aisya turned 3 months old, two days ago.

To ridz with luv

(When I first saw you, I saw love.
And the first time you touched me, I felt love.
And after
all this time, you're still the one I love.)
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong


You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

I'm so glad we've made it
Look how far we've come, my baby.

she looks like

MyHeritage

she's so small

minute, delicate, beautiful, precious, miracle.

her new activity centre

since birth aisya has been spending her time on the tilam kekabu that was speacially made for her, and we thought that she deserved an upgrade, and tadaaa her new place to sleep and play.

it's a Graco Pack 'n Play Playard - Safari Friends model, which aisya really loved when we put her on it for a test run, well aisya didn't really said she liked it, alahh the parents loved it, so we bought it lar.

anyway the reason we chose this model is because the overall material seemed rather durable, easy to assemble and disassemble, about 2 - 3 minutes once you get the hang of it, very portable and the 399 price tag was within our budget.

hmm, i think i need to learn to give a better product review, because we're gonna review diapers next, hehe.

she's okie again

aisya's is good as new, and she's smiling again. and we are so happy that our bundle of joy is back to normal. but on the other hand, mama rynn isn't doing so well experiencing a spade of diarrhea and nausea, i hope she gets well soon because the lady is my pillar of strength.

can i swear?

i work at place where the internet connection is claimed to be one of the fastest in the land.

aisya sick

aisya was not too well yesterday. she was sick, we were worried sick.

aisya's a big smiler, laughs a lot, but yesterday while not feeling well, she didn't smile at all.

i felt butterflies in my stomach, so did rynn.

that must be what parents feel when their child is not well, endangered.

you should love your parents more, i do now.

*update:
aisya had a bit of fever + constipation, she's ok again today =)
mama rynn just came back from the pediatrician (dr. fadzillah), and say's that maybe aisya has cow's milk protein allergy, so we are gonna stop with the similac the current baby formula we're using and swith to nestle nan h.a. 1, so we gonna see how this one goes.

mama's dillema

when u have a kid, a cute daughter more so, you know that she's the most important part of your life, right up there on every list that you can conjure. that's when sacrifices need to be made.

mama rynn loves lil' aisya very2 much, and yesterday was her first day at work. a few days leading up to yesterday, mama rynn has been in quite a distress with the thought of aisya not there beside her. even though aisya's in very good hands, because there's her nenek to look after her, but still i understand how uneasy it must feel to part even for a while, a part of you that you carried inside of you for nine long months, and add that to the past two months where you showered all your attention to her come day, come night.

i don't think i'll ever catch up with rynn, i've never bathed aisya, i've changed her diapers twice, i did foot the hospital bill, buy her stuff, talk to and play with her and etc. i snore at night and wake both of them up continuously (i've tried breatheright - doesn't work for me), the list can continue and i'll just never measure up to rynn.

that's probably it, i'm the dad, however hard i try i'll never be like the mom. but, it just make sense right now for me to be a really good dad, to provide the best for the family and play my part.

get married, have kids, and you'll see what i mean.

p/s: sayang you're the greatest!

aisya hits 2nd gear

our lil munchkin is 2 months old!

she got me at hello

sekarang aisya suka ajak orang sembang, and she seemed like a very good listener. kadang2 aisya pun nak join sembang and today while recording her video, aisya uttered a word, well coincidentally the noise that she produced sounded something like "ello".

listen careful, listen hard.

word cloud

started work at 4 a.m. today and i think i'm out of my mind, and ended up doing this,

which is called a word cloud from worldle which is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide.

have fun.

aisya's progress

it's a dad thing

it's been 1 month, 2 weeks and 3 days, and life has taken a drastic turn.

i'm a son, father and husband.

i've a daughter.

i'm 26,

i do not have words to describe how i feel, but i do know that,

it will be a challenge to be like mak & dad, mama & ayah,

i'll get a taste of what its like to be in my parents' shoes,

and be more thankful, loving,

i'll love rynn more, be more understanding and thoughtful,

and all this because,

my daughter aisya,

a plethora of hope, dreams and wonder.

kisah "pantang"

hari ni dah masuk 37 hari berpantang.. cerita pasal pantang nih, sblm bersalin i decided to buy set bersalin emmy 60 days by sendayu tinggi.. fuh bnyk ubat die kasik dlm 1 set tuh n harganye rm480 if i'm not mistaken.. tp promoter kat toko jamu tu kata utk 1st baby tak digalakkan amik set ni sbb terlampau panas.. takut efek baby hmm.. survey punye survey, last2 amik set leesa formula..

biaselah, org yg tak suke makan ubat mcm saya akan memilih set yg paling mudah @ tak leceh dan ubatnye tak brape bnyk.. agak mudah, ade 2 je ubat - pil haruan n pil prawan.. pil haruan tu tau la utk sembuh luka, tp pil prawan?? hurmm tak paham sgt fungsinye.. selain dr tu ade 'tungku' yg moden - dah tak yah la kita nak pakai tungku batu atau besi yg berat gile tu lg.. ade bengkung utk tujuan men'slim'kan perut dan ade ginger cream utk tujuan buang angin dlm badan.. semua benda dlm set ni digunakan sepenuhnye sbb tak remeh..

sejak mama n ayah balik haji, diorang ambik alih tugas jaga saya dlm pantang, dan semalam mamaku dah beli satu lg set bersalin dr indon sbb die sgt tak puas hati dgn set leesa formula yg simple tuh!! namenye 'jamu selapan' by mustika ratu.. waduh2, gawat nih.. sbb set ini mengandungi;

• galian parem wangi
• pulih balung sumsum
• pilis wangi
• tapel raket mustika sejati
• parem segar sumyah
• bubuk bancar air susu

*sila rujuk kamus BM-INDON.. heh

pening???!! hmm saya yg nak kena makan n guna benda2 ni lg pening!! nama benda2 die je dah tak paham kan?? tp ni la akar2 kayu, rempah2, jamu2 dan herba2 yg dicampur2.. igtkan mama ni 'mama moden' yg tak brape kisah sgt pasal pantang larang nih.. bila tanya pada dia, jawapannye "mmg mama moden tp benda ni tak boleh buat main2 sbb bdn org perempuan ni ade bnyk benda nak jaga.. kalau kamu nak sihat, kuat dan badan cantik, mesti ikut pantang, jaga makan dan habiskan jamu2 tu!!" nasib baikla skrg dah takde jamu yg kena bancuh pastu minum tu! yg ade kena bancuh pun fungsinye hanya utk sapu pd bdn atau perut..

igtkan dah hujung2 pantang ni bleh la nak rilex2.. tak jugak.. demi mama, ridz and utk diri sendiri, akan ku gagahkan jugak buat semua nih.. sabar, sabar..

our lil munchkin is one month old!

Yeah! papa ridz and mama rynn wishes lil' aisya a happy first-montha-birthday!

Here are some tidbits to share:

• ridz is still confused (he refers to himself as ayah sometimes papa to aisya) and is considering to add dad or daddy to the list.
• mama rynn has proven to be a top notch supermom, attending 2 weddings and a trip back to ipoh even before 44 days of berpantang ain't yet over. hmmm...
• from our observation aisya's favourite menu consists of milk, milk, milk and more milk.
• she's like to stretch up to an hour before she actually opens her eyes, and
• aisya mysara likes to frown (berkerut like her mama) a lot, as though there a lot of stuff to think about.

A baby will make love stronger,
days shorter,
nights longer,
bankroll smaller,
home happier,
clothes shabbier,
the past forgotten,
and the future worth living for
