Assalamualaikum.

Today. A day to be remembered. Received phone call from my brother.. 

#TempatMakanViral Melaka (experience)

Assalamualaikum ♥

1. Cendol jam besar dan air tembikai

Ibu beli Cendol durian which cost her rm5 and air tembikai ; rm10. basically for air tembikai, we can choose the watermelon size. the price was from the size of the watermelon. service was quite okay. the owner warmly greet us when we come to his stall. 

Verdict: I didn't taste the cendol. but ibu said it was just okay. but she will not repeat for it again after this. as for watermelon drink, it is worth the experience? the taste was just ok. for the sake of trying and totally an Instagram worthy? haha. ada je few other places yang I jumpa jual tembikai ni. even jonker walk pun ada.

Location: betul betul dekat jam besar Bandar dihilir melaka.

2. Asam pedas claypot

Banyak baca review dari Google cakap we should try this asam pedas. so we just give it a try. we ordered asam pedas Ikan kembung, asam pedas Ikan pari and asam pedas isi (lupa nama apa). with Milo ais and teh o ais. oh and a basket of keropok for munching masa tunggu order siap. sebenarnya opposite kedai ni ada satu kedai nama sebijik sama, but open at different hours. jadi i predict, that restaurant open at evening kot?

Verdict: we don't like the taste. weird taste of asam pedas I can say? maybe we put high expectation for it, but it turns out to be the other way round. huhu. not going to this restaurant ever again hehe. total bill was rm32.

location: waze asam pedas claypot

3. Batu berendam coconut shake & kuih keria gula melaka

Kononnya datang sini sebab nak elak queue panjang dekat klebang coconut shake original. heard that the taste was actually better than klebang. so we ordered 3 coconut shake and rm3 kuih keria (6 pcs). Kalau makan sini ada free flow air kelapa dan air longan :)

Verdict: aaaaaa I don't like it! tak rasa langsung coconut shake. all I can taste was vanilla ice cream? maybe they put too much of ice cream until the coconut flavour went MIA. hehe. my hubs didn't like the kuih keria. so I guess, no more batu berendam shake shake experience after this? hehe. total bill for coconut shake was rm13.

Location: waze coconut shake batu berendam.

4. Coconut shake pantai klebang.

Actually, I had been deceived by this stall. haha. I thought this was the original coconut shake klebang. so I want to have a sip of the shake sebab semalam dah bad experience dengan batu berendam. nak recovery pills la konon. it turns out ni bukan the original one. haha. yakin tau I ni.

Verdict: nasib rasanya way better than yesterday. my sister daripada nak share terus request for another coconut shake sebab sedap. hehe. ayah I nak air kelapa kosong without gula but blended. can u geddit? nasibla adik stall tu layankan je. hehe. air kelapa kosong rm2.00, coconut shake rm2.50. you can try it :) banyak je kedai coconut shake depan pantai klebang ni, pilihlaa yang mana satu idaman kalbu~~

location: waze pantai klebang

5. Klebang coconut shake original

Sebenarnya misi mencari minum petang with husband. and I request nak klebang coconut shake original pls! hehe. nasibla husband melayan je request si isteri. maka dapatla si isteri minum coconut shake sedap sambil tersenyum! kehkeh. eventho queue agak panjang sebab cuti, kedai ni sangatla efisien. sat ja dapat bungkuih. If nak makan dekat situ, kena masuk kedai bahagian dalam ok? kedai dekat tepi jalan ni memang khas untuk bungkus je.

Verdict: mestilaaaa sedap! dah dua kali minum, dua dua Kali tak mengecewakan. I love the taste. vanilla ice cream tak took over the taste. so much love in one cup. hehe. before this i minum coconut shake biasa, harga rm2.70. but masa I pergi tu just ada coconut shake special, which cost rm3.20 per cup rasanya. lupa dah sebab sedap sgt :p

location: waze klebang coconut shake original

6. 88 jonker Street

I nak sangat datang sebab banyak review kata sedap asam laksa and cendol kedai ni. siap ada yang review kata ais kisar kedai ni lembut macam snow ok? fehhh I bila baca review gitu haruslah mudah terpengaruh! hahaha. dahla masa I datang tu malam tau, packed gila kedai ni! Even ada customer yang makan sambil berdiri. so I happy la siap terdetik "mesti sedap betul ni orang makan siap berdiri sebab full house". Tapau ais cendol since full house.

Verdict: tak sedap! hahahaha. di manakah snow itu?!!!! tipah tertipu. maybe I pernah try cendol yang much much better than this, so I memang kata cendol kedai ni tak kena dengan taste I. hehe. but still i mampu la habiskan even semua family member i taknak minum cendol ni. i habiskan jela sorang sorang wahaha padan muka sapa suruh cepat terpengaruh. total bill was rm4 kalau tak silap.

location: waze 88 jonker Street 

7. Restoran Pak Putra (Roti Naan)

My impression masa sampai, kedai ni penuh Gila dengan orang. semua meja fully booked and there was even people waiting for table. We ordered nasi lemak, roti Naan cheese, triple Naan cheese and tandoori chicken.

Verdict: Bad experience started from the waiter to the customer as well. my father politely asked to joint the table sebab one table was totally not enough for our family. but suddenly he rise his voice saying that if we opened another table we will blocked the road. FYI, ayah I tak tinggikan suara at all masa he request tu. then, yang ambik order pun tak senyum at all, ambik order in rush, push us to ordered fast (I faham je kedai ramai orang so they need to work fast, but pls be polite thats what matters, plus not everyone was your loyal customer. macam weol this were our first time datang, so we basically had no idea at all how to order etc). even customer pun takda manner. adik i ambik kerusi from one table since customer baru bangun without knowing dah ada family tunggu meja tu. and suddenly ada makcik ni jerit to my sister cakap tu kerusi dia kenapa ambik dia dah cop lama dah. OMG. seriously makcik? where is your manner? tertinggal dekat rumah ke? can't u said properly to my sister without yelled? malu je. lepastu ayah I malas nak dengar and entertained her behavior, ayah I suruh adik I hantar balik kerusi tu. maybe makcik tu malu dia duduk belakangkan our family. but my SIL terdengar dia masih tak puas hati and bising bising masa kitorang nak balik. teruk betul perangai makcik tu. Bad experience betul. BTW, nasi lemak tak sedap. full stop. nasib ayam tandoori super sedap! aaaaaa tak tipu. sedapppp. roti Naan pun sedap. I punya triple cheese. fehhh, puas makan! hehe. total bill was RM71. 

Location: Pak Putra Taman Laksamana. (pls waze, terus sampai depan kedai)

8. Kuih keria haji jalil limbongan & laksa penang

Macam biasa sampai kedai ni sebab #Viral la apa lagi kan. Dalam 100m from this stall ada another hajah rahmah kuih keria. hajah rahmah ni anak kepada haji jalil (I tau sebab tanya pekerja kedai hajah rahmah tu siapa. I dok wonder sorang sorang, sebab I ingat hajah rahmah tu hj jalil punya wife hehe). masa sampai, kedai still tak jual keria but dah ada queue yang nak beli this keria.

Verdict: kuih keria rasa dia biasa je. nothing special. my husband kata I buat lagi sedap. haha. kitorang tunggu lama jugak, tapi tak beratur sebab nak makan situ and tapau some to bawak balik. we waited nearly 1 hour ok? sebab masa masuk kereta nak balik tu jam dah dekat pukul 1 ptg. huhu. service kedai ni teruk. pelanggan ramai. tp pekerja tak cukup untuk cater all the customers. yang ada isteri hj jalil je yang entertain all the customers yg nak bungkus or makan situ. bila I request 30 pcs untuk makan and tapau, boleh pulak bini hj jalil ni tengking I depan orang ramai cakap banyaknya nak makan. I balas yang kitorang ramai masa tu dkt meja of course la banyak. takkan sorang sebiji je boleh makan? and takkan tak boleh tapau? dia kata dia boleh bg 10 pcs je not more than that. I malas nak argue, I pi borak dgn makcik laksa sementara tunggu keria. tapi pls try laksa! sedapppp! I tak tipu. sebagai hantu laksa, I rasa berbaloi dtg sini sebab laksa je. bukan keria. masa I nak bayar pun bini hj jalil ni marah I suruh tunggu sebab dia dok sibuk dengan org yg queue nak beli keria. omg Sgt. nightmare betul jumpa owner kedai perangai macamni. memangla tak dtg dah kot for keria? sebab rasa biasa je sebenarnya. cuma bila dah viral mestilaaaa nak try kan. but if u guys still nak try, just go to hajah rahmah limbongan stall. queue kedai ni tak panjang. resepi sama je pekerja kedai ni bgtau I.

Location: waze hj jalil @ hajah rahmah kuih keria limbongan.

9. Roti Canai Kayu Arang

part of menu kedai :)

On the way nak pergi kedai ni I waze je, and we need to u-turn before sampai. Before u turn tu, i nampak la this one stall yang penuh gila pelanggan, siap kereta penuh dekat bahu jalan. i dah macam eh kenapa ramai sangat ni? rupa rupanya tu la kedai yang i dengan husband nk pergiiiii haha. Masa ni dah cakap dah dengan husband, no need la makan sini. Jum cari kedai lain je, sebab serious sangat penuh. but my husband kata takpe, jum je makan sini. So we ordered and i asked my husband duduk dalam kereta je with Sofia sebab kedai ni panas gila crowded ya amat.

Verdict: Okayla roti canai dia, i makan masa dah sejuk pun tak keras kejung roti canai ni. Still lembut. So i rasa okay la kan? Nasi lemak kedai ni pun sedap. ig u plan nak datang, pls order nasi lemak with sambal paru! OMG. Sedap. i makan dalam kereta with husband pun tak puas. haha. lepastu marah diri sendiri sebab order sambal paru satu set je :p oh and WAJIB ORDER ROTI NACHOS. Ibu, adik, SIL all gave green light to this menu! sebab sedap. u guys should try :) cuma biasala datang kedai viral macamni, kesabaran tu haruslah tinggi menggunung. sebab orang terlalu ramai. i tapau pun tunggu for about 1/2 jam hehe.

p/s: Ni semua based on my own experience masa I pergi melaka haritu. Maybe masa I pergi kedai tu dorang semua PMS kot? haha. Itu sebab asyikla dapat bad service. among all yang I list out ni, u definitely should try coconut shake klebang original ok? :)

Freegift dari UMobile! tererthursday

Assalamualaikum ♥

As an avid user of U Mobile and as I already promised in Instagram last week, I will share some of the free gifts I got from U Mobile for their Terer Thursday campaign! Believe me, as I put all the pictures here, u guys will start to drools and ask me how on earth u got all of these items for free?!! Haha :p

1. Starbucks

• 1 drink of Acai berry flavour

2. Vivo Pizza

• One piece of 8 inches around the world pizza

3. Taste better

• 4 pcs/box: Mix Flavour of Durian & Mango.

4. Manhattan Fish Market

• Selection of menu from Salmon Head dish

5. Printcious (online)

6. O Briens sandwich

• Any type of A la carte sandwiches with price below than RM20

* gambar tak dapat nak retrive since phone format 😂

7. 7 eleven drinks

• The largest size but I couldn't remember the exact amount

* gambar tak dapat nak retrive since phone format 😂

8. SisterS crispy popiah (didn't redeem yet)

• 1 roll crispy popiah

9. MBO cinema free 1 movie voucher (didn't redeem yet)

• Valid for any type of movies

10. OBike (didn't redeem yet)

• free 5 ride

P/S Different outlet will give different excuses if they think that they cannot meet the demand from the voucher? It happened during the time when we redeemed the Starbucks drinks and also the Manhattan fish dish. For Starbucks I'm okay with the changes since I tak minat the acai berry drinks. hehe. So bila manager kata you can choose from the frap menu only pun I tak kisah. Surprisingly both of the flavour recommended by the manager sedap! Both choc and coffee flavour. So I guess its a yay la kan?

Same goes to manhattan. Mula mula manager kata salmon head and chips je tak boleh redeem, the other three boleh. But i insist nak that menu sebab tak lalu nak makan salmon head masak kari, asam pedas or sweet sour? Huhu. Nasib the manager baik hati and bagi! Im not a fan of salmon ok. Big NO. Sebab tu I insist nak the chips menu. Luckily I can accept the taste? Even nak muntah lepas makan sebab dia macam berlemak sangat? 😓

P/P/S: If there is a request, nanti i akan ajar step by step on how to get these free items ok? But it depends on the request la hehe.

Kedai makan tengahari murah dan sedap kajang (sebelah tesco extra kajang)

Assalamualaikum ♥

Last month my in-laws come to visit us for about one week +. Among all of the places we go, I like to share with you guys about this stall. Before pi jalan jalan dekat GM klang, husband suggests to had lunch first. Sebenarnya dah banyak kali bila lalu dekat kedai ni husband akan cakap kedai ni selalu penuh dengan orang. But sadly, I never show any interest to give it a try before hehe. Sory husband! 

Bila dah try, jatuh chentaaaa berkali kali. Sedapppp! 😅

Dari jalan besar u will notice this signboard on you left side if u are heading towards tesco. But if you are from tesco, this stall is on your right hand side okies? The location of the stall bersebelahan dengan surau saujana kajang.

 Kedai ni was okay. Tak kotor and just okay to come and enjoy the food.

This are the menu. Kami pilih set ikan kerapu, daging rebus campur air asam, ayam bakar dengan kambing bakar. Sebenarnya nak set sotong bakar but sadly not available on that day 😐

Sedapppp! Not gonna brag but I like the taste hehe. Free flow drink as well. All of the menu we shared with 6 people. Percayalahhh it is enough. Nasi je tak cukup for me :p So my husband and my SIL gave me some of theirs kihkih. Sambal belacan dan air asam pun sedap. Cukup rasa dan pedasss! Pedas tu dapat markah lebih. Even when i ask for extra sambal they didn't charge for it. Okay tambah markah sebab baik hati :p total for 6 people makan not more than rm60. I think the price is quite okay.

My husband cakap if we come to this stall again (where we might :P) the compulsory dish would be the daging asam! Sebab so sedap lepastu daging dia lembut betul :') Oh by the way during our visit tu nasi dia lembik, sebabtu my husband could not finish his rice. but masa my sister datang makan on other day, nasi dia okay tak lembik. so maybe nasib kot hehe

Untuk senang, waze je surau saujana impian kajang. Or if u want to waze, just type warung da' enie on your search button ok 😀

Selamat mencuba guys! :)

Assalamualaikum ♥

Last few month one of my friends upload this menu on her instastory. Sepantas kilat terus dm and ask for recipes from her hehe. Eggplant is one of my go-to food, jadi memang sangat tempted to try to cook it by myself. Suddenly today teringat for this recipe, bukak fridge and semua bahan ada! Yays, so happy. Sepantas kilat siapkan lauk before husband balik petang tadi 😀

Disebabkan steps to do sangatlah mudah, let me share it with you guys ok?

Bawang putih 3 ulas *
Cili kisar 5 sudu besar
Minyak masak
Terung sebiji - potong kepada beberapa bahagian
Ikan bilis (depends) - i guna satu sudu besar
Sedikit garam


Sebelum masak:

/ Blend bahan yang bertanda *
/ Goreng terung hingga tukar warna keemasan sikit dan toskan
/ Goreng ikan bilis hingga garing dan toskan)



Cara masakan: 

 1. Tumis bahan * dengan minyak masak (Guna minyak masak yang sama masa goreng ikan bilis dan terung)

Selamat mencuba!

p/s: Tq ibu ameena for the recipe! 😙

Review: Bekas simpan EBM yang best

Assalamualaikum ♥

Being a SAHM doesn't mean that I don't need this storage milk. Since I am still a student where sometimes I need to attend classes or meet my SV, having an EBM stock totally a life savior! Who's with me? Betul kan? Kadang kadang pi kelas we need to left our baby at home, of course we need to have at least few bags of EBM to make sure our baby kenyang throughout the day.

Starting from my confinement days I already make stocks in case there is anything urgent which need me to leave my baby at home for a while. Some of my closest friends know that I need to attend classes during my confinement. Kenangan betul :') okay skip that part.

Sooo, below are two types of the storage bag that I have and still used until today.

The left one is from Autumnz (shopee link: https://shp.ee/77vryrm)

The right one is from Fiffy (shopee link: https://shp.ee/4ibnzf5)

For fiffy: This product claims that it is - Safe and hygienic - BPA (Bisphenol-A) Free material - Easy to use, store and freeze milk safely - Bag can be stored upright or flat in the fridge or freezer. - Milk thaw faster when lay flat - Convenient 6 ounce capacity bags - 25 pre-sterilized bags

Verdicts:

Pros: Easily stored! A plus point there. Can save lots of space inside my deep freeze :) kalau simpan susu dalam keadaan flat, susu senang nak thawed afterward. Jimat masa jugak. Another plus point I think? Tempat untuk tulis nama and tarikh is in different compartment than the milk. SO, there will be no case like the ink from the pen dispersed into the milk which i believe no one wants this thing to happen kan? 

Cons: But i don't really like the bag because it is too thin and can easily tear? Always happened bila tengah thawed, susu leaking from the bag. It happens quite a number of time, so I am a bit frustrated because my liquid gold rosak macamtu je. :( Price wise a bit pricey as compared to autumnz. The zipper is a bit challenging to be used. if i am in hurry, emosi jugak nak close it tightly. huhu

For autumnz: This product claims that it is BPA Free • Double walled to preserve nutrients effectively • Medical grade material, perfect for safe and extended freezer storage • Thick laminate to prevent ink leeching • Pre-sterilised bags to ensure safe feeding • DOUBLE zipper top to prevent leakage • No-spill self-standing bottom • Heat sealed sides to prevent splitting • Easy to read designated area for date, name and time

Verdicts:

Pros: I like the packaging. Plastic is quite thick as compared to fiffy. Never in my case happened my liquid gold leaked from the bag. So, yeyy? I love this bag because it never spilled my liquid gold, it stored milk in a perfect condition and it is easily thawed as well. Easily stored inside my deep freezer. Double zipper senang nak bukak dan tutup. Takdela isu love-hate relationship with the zipper hehe.

Cons: If I packed my liquid gold to the maximum amount of 5 ounces, it will be hard for it to be stored and thawed. Time-consuming which I hate it so much. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Jangan kedekut storage bag to stored your liquid gold ok?

Imagine your baby is hungry and u need to wait for the milk to be completely thawed? Pheww, challenging ok 😅 Pernah jadi when my parents babysit my daughter tapi masa tu susu lambat cair and my baby screaming for milk. She wants it on the dot, but the milk is not ready. My parent just give the cold milk with the hope that my baby tak sakit perut. Luckily she's ok after that. haha. kenangan betul. 

Lesson learned... 

Pls simpan the right amount of milk untuk one time consume je. Macam sofia, she will drink 3 oz per session. To play safe maximum amount i stored for one bag is 4 ounces. Not more than that since milk can easily spoiled. So sayang kan if tak habis?

For now i use the autumnz storage bag. Fiffy no more. Because i dont really like the packaging. But both of the bag is BPA free, so inshaAllah it will be okay. Ada parents yang prefer to stored the liquid gold inside the bottle instead of bag, well it all depends on you guys sebenarnya. Ada jugak taknak kasi their baby from bottle sebab they believe df is the best for their child. it all depends on you, because the baby is your own. But jangan compare pls? Different parents different commitments. But with one aim, we want the best for our baby. kan? 😄

Pinggan viral, Pasar seni KL

Assalamualaikum. ♥

Finally i got my hands on this #pingganviral! Dapat pun pinggan viral yang menjadi sebutan ramai. Hehe. Bila dapat of course akan senyum memanjang. Senyum sampai ke telinga gitu 😁

So, verdicts from my visit?

1. Designs are all pretty! But of course kena pandai pilih. Because different people have different preferences. Maybe i cakap cantik, maybe u disagree with my choice kan?

2. Lokasi best. Kedai end lot. Senang jumpa kedai! Betul betul sebelah CM (Central market @ pasar seni). Barisan kedai. Sebelah kedai mamak. Kedai ni memang jual pinggan je.

3. I ready somewhere on social media saying that this place always packed with people. But lucky me, when i'm around, the shop was not packed at all. Maybe i pergi bukan masa peak hour, so kedai memang lengang. Best pilih pinggan :)

4. Ada diskaun! Purchase more than rm50, u will get moree discount ;)

5. But the owner sangatla tak mesra. i don't know. This was basically on my own experience. Tak berapa nak mesra alam.

Price range from as low as rm2, and as high as rm20. Yang harga rm20 tu pun pinggan makan. Shape lain semua harga below than that no worries. If u guys stay around the area, i advise u to go and look by yourself. Lagiiiiiii puas hati. Sebab boleh pilih corak sendiri. Unless u are far away or u got extra money to pay for the personal shopper service la :p

I went there with my in laws. It worth the MRT ride. My MIL and SIL love the shop as well! I plan to bring ibu and my sisters as well. Let's make them go gaga like I do. Haha. Fair la kan?

Below are my catch during the visit :)

From left 1st row
1st picture: The bowl cost me for RM10
2nd picture: the bowl cost me RM8

From left second row
1st picture: The plate cost me RM20
2nd picture: The plate cost me RM12
3rd picture: The plate cost me RM10 (size of the plate is slightly smaller than the first picture)

From left third row
1st picture: The bowl cost me RM15 (biggest bowl among all)
2nd picture: The sauce plate cost me RM2

* not in the picture, the spoon is RM2 each :) Size also varies from one another. Semua size dalam gambar ni lain lain.

* If u guys want to go there by public transport, i suggest u to use MRT @ LRT. Turun je nampak tulisan central market besaq. From there, tengok je shop lot belah kanan, this shop betul betul dekat end lot. So easy to find! Macam makan kacang :p

Okay selamat shopping! 😄

Review: Minyak telon best untuk baby

Assalamualaikum

Here are my reviews for TWO types of 'minyak telon' that i use for my baby daughter.

1. Tropika baby herbal cream (shopee link: https://shp.ee/9ikb4em) 

the outer packaging for this product. 

Dalam: warna krim herba tropika. If baru bukak usually the content is full. :)

It claims that this products are able to treats & prevent phlegm, cough, stomach ache & prevent wind. It promotes babies to burp after nursing. Best natural remedy for colic in baby. This remedy contains important natural ingredients that encourage release of trapped gas and promote better night time sleep. Made only from natural ingredients with Virgin Coconut Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Ginger & Tropical Herbs Reduce respiratory problems such as wheezing, Reduce "snoring".

Verdicts: 

Pros: 

Totally helps for colic prevention! My baby so far memang tak pernah colic since the first day she was born. I used it religiously since the first day of her life. Rub gently around her stomach, foots, her back area and head. Until today i still use this for my baby. Kadang kadang tu sambil sapu dekat Sofia, terus dia totot (read: kentut) 😅 Super jimat, as for now i only use 5 tubs of this tropika cream. For me, i can say that it is quite a bargain, no? and paling best sebab tak melekit!

Cons:

So far for about 7 months + i use this product, i could not find any bad impressions of it 😌 so i guess, good product?

Price range within RM 35.00.

2. Minyak BeBe Anugerah (shopee link: https://shp.ee/6ihzntn)

The outer packaging :)

The oil is in purple colour. Tak nampak sangat from this picture.

It claims that this products able to warm the baby body, moisture the baby skin. It helps to prevent baby from cold, colic. Made from lemongrass, eucalyptus oil, galangal, mint and kaffir lime. Helps the baby to sleep at ease at night.

Verdicts:

Pros:

Super love the smell! Calming ok bau minyak ni. My husband terpaling suka the smell. So, normally we use two types of 'minyak telon' everytime after sofia take her shower. Same as tropika, we rub gently around the same area. But there is times where we put it all over her body because of the smell :p

Cons:

Sometimes i can feel the bottle become quite oily (maybe because i did not close the cap tight enough?). And minyak ni bila dah sapu quite oily, but since i love the smell maybe i can still accept it hehe. Other than that, i didn't have anything to complain about this product.

Price range within RM 13 - RM 15

--------------------------------------------------

I ada guna minyak yuyi for my baby as well. But since i did not use it frequently like these two products above, i cannot give my review in details. But all i can say that, all this three products suits my baby. Alhamdulillah, since my baby was born, she never had colic nor facing any difficulties to sleep at night. My baby sleeps throughout the night since she was 2 months + old (except when she wants her milk, where i can simply know from the thumb-sucking noise 😂)

So, which one of these products that u use for your baby? Or u guys ada guna any produk yang best please share with me okies? ;)

Kenapa baby food kena ada gula?

Assalamualaikum

Tadi pergi Aeon Big Batu Pahat.

EH, kenapa tetiba dekat batu pahat?

Sebab esok kawan kite and husband nikah. So kami pun datang all the way from kajang to celebrate the bride and groom :)

Since baby sofia dah start her solid food journey for about 1 month +, memang priority kena pastikan perut anak full before we do anything.

Kami bergerak dalam tengahari, so lunch dekat Melaka and dinner dekat BP area memang bawak brown rice yang dah siap masak siap siap. Tinggal kena panaskan je waktu nak makan. So i thought for tomorrow nak beli ready to eat food since hotel yang kitorang duduk takda peti ais to keep the brown rice porridge. nak masak apatah lagi kan, dapur pun takde.

-- eh panjang betul explaination before masuk part aeon kan kehkeh :p

okay.

Sebenarnya pergi aeon big ni nak cari food for our daughter la.  Pi baby food section, bila go through all the ingredients for sure ada sugar ok. Even for a well-known brand. Takda langsung yang without sugar. This situation makes me feel upset. Like betul betul punya kecewa. Dah la sofia sejenis pemakan orangnya.. kalau meal time sampai, memang shes eager to eat sampai sanggup capai sudu dekat tangan kite. So mesti boleh bayangkan kan perasaan kecewa kite? huhu. Jaya grocer for sure takda dekat sini, sebab tu je tempat yang banyak organic foods for baby yang kite tau. Dok fikir punya fikir kite memang tak ready nak introduce sugar or any seasoning to my daughter. YET. Not this time. After sofia setahun inshaAllah.

So, we just buy fruits for her.

Since fruits tu sebenarnya kite bagi for snack je sometimes not as main dish sepanjang sofia dah masuk 7 bulan ni.. Lets just hope that she wont be cranky sebab lapar. 

At least until kitorang sampai kajang.

Nervous ade. Sedih pun ada sebab takut anak lapar. huhu. Memang macamni kan perasaan dah jadi ibu? 😂

Ikhlas dari seorang ibu emo.
Sebab tak sempat siapkan rolled oats untuk bawak datang BP.

Tips: cara nak kurangkan selsema dan batuk baby

Assalamualaikum 

Sekarang ni kejap panas kejap hujan

Cuaca tak menentu kan? 

My baby pun kena attack selsema dengan batuk dah. Still bearable, and less worry sikit sebab kemain aktif tau anak ibu ni walaupun tak berapa sihat. Her body temperature maintain and does not spike as well. Jadinya agak lega di situ. Shes not cranky even batuk tu dengar bunyi kahak. Kite yang dengar ni rasa kesian. Batuk takdela all day long. Kadang kadang, tapi bila batuk tu quite lama sampai merah merah muka. Lepas da habis batuk tu terus sengih. Hailaaaa anak ibu.. selsema pun sampai meleleh ayaq hidung. Makan pun tak berapa nak excited macam selalu. Since shes not feeling well, i did not force her to finish her food. As long as she eat, i am more than happy :) 

Banyak remedies kite try untuk soothes my daughter. Dalam masa yang sama, untuk kasi anak rasa selesa dan tak lemas. Even kite yang dah besar pun tak selesa bila kena batuk dan selsema, baby apatah lagi kan? So ni ada beberapa cara kite gunakan bila baby batuk dan selsema. 

1. Mandi wap

Ultimate saviour for my baby. Kite selalu bukak shower sampai bathroom penuh wap then masuk together with baby. Adela dalam +- 10 mins? Baby for sure akan merengek but keraskan hati sikit ok? (Tapi kalau baby nangis teruk sangat tu, bawakla baby keluar shower ya) After a while inshaAllah baby akan ok. Macam Aleesa kalau dia nangis kite ajak sembang lepastu Aleesa akan pandang kite macam faham je ape ibu dia sembang :p 

2. Sterimar (shopee link: https://shp.ee/tdq7q5v) and nose suction 

Totally a life savior! Benda wajib-harus-kena-pastikan ada for your baby. Spray and sedut. But in case your baby ada runny nose, just suck the flu away. and baby will be happy ever after hehe. Nampak exaggerate kan? Tapi betul! Try first ok?

3. Century baby balm (shopee link: https://shp.ee/vgi65xv)

Balm baby yang bau strawberry. So sedap! Rasa nak makan. Aleesa pun suka bau. Kite akan rub dekat dada Aleesa everytime after habis mandi. Tak panas pun balm ni, so memang ok kalau nak guna for babies. Harga pun quite ok..less than rm10 i think? Haritu beli dkt watson. So easy to find this balm.

4. Percussion
Belajar thru you tube first ya? Jangan sesuka hati tepuk belakang baby without any knowledge. Kesian baby. in our defense, we think that the baby cry sebab batuk rupanya sebab sakit bila silap cara buat percussion. Percussion sambil mandi wap amat digalakkan :) Kite buat dekat Aleesa, nampak beza before and after.

5. Mandi lemon

Masa mandikan baby, perah sikit lemon dalam bathtub baby. Biar baby dapat bau zest lemon tu. Dari Aleesa kecik memang kite guna lemon as a remedy if Aleesa demam ke selsema ke. It works wonders for her. And usually bila kite mandikan Aleesa with lemon, kite tak guna sabun baby dah for Aleesa. :) Bau lemon tu je dah cukup. Sedap ok bau lemon. Sape setuju? 

Other than that, kite bagi jugak anak kite makan ubat from hospital. Some parents memang akan say big NO untuk bagi their baby ubat kan? Same macam kite jugak dulu. But at some point bila dah buat guna natural remedies anak still tak ok, siapa boleh buat tak tahu je kan? mesti nak anak sihat balik, betul tak? First trip to klinik, dr bagi ubat cairkan kahak (bromohexine... something which sebenarnya tak boleh ok for baby bawak 2 years which i dont know at all?! usually kite mesti akan google which is good which is not good for baby, but at this time tak tergerak langsung nak check huhu. masa bagitau the other dr, dr terkejut and ask which dr yang prescribe that medicine for my daughter huhu).

Bawah ni gambar ubat tu.

So bila jumpa 2nd dr, dr bagi ubat demam, ubat titik hidung for flu and antibiotik. Antibiotik je kite kena makesure Aleesa habiskan yang lain punya ubat just guna bila perlu. So for now, kena bersilat sikitla nak kasi Aleesa makan antibiotik ni 😆

3 times daily = 3 times bersilat nak kasi ubat.

Poor my baby.

Masa nak kasi ubat je nangis, dah habis makan ubat terus happy balik as usual. 😅

Gambar bawah ni gambar ubat antibiotik prescribe by dr. Pls jangan sesuka hati beli dekat farmasi and give it to yr baby. Sebab different baby weight will make different amount of dos the baby need to take. Unless u are a dr yourself la kan.. hihi.

Doakan my baby daughter get well asap pls?

Tq everyone! ttyl ♥

Assalamualaikum ♥

Beg hospital ni kite masuk 8 month dah start prepare sikit sikit. Since nak senangkan diri sendiri masa dekat hospital nanti, kite asingkan beg untuk kite and untuk baby. Jadi takdela bercampur barang and tak messy bila mencari barang. hehe.

Baju lengan panjang - 2 helai
Kain batik - 2 helai
Tudung instant - 2 helai
Stoking - 2/3 helai
Sweater (kena pakai takut badan masuk angin)
Toileteries
Set bersalin - kite bawak minyak nona roguy untuk sapu badan je elak masuk angin
Makanan *ni penting sebab kite akan kerap rasa lapar bila breastfeed baby
Selipar
Breast pump
Nursing bra - 2/3 helai
Disposable panties (totally a life saver)- 2 packs/10 pcs
Maternity pad - ada yang prefer pad biasa. Terpulang ok? kite pakai maternity pad jenama madame sebab takut luka sakit pakai pad biasa since luka tak kering lagi hehe. Plus maternity pad ni lembut. kite tak beli matrnity pad jenis tali, tak reti pakai 😐
Buku pink! - PALING PENTING

Senarai baby

Selamat 6 bulan anak! Pengalaman Breastfeed kali pertama

Assalamualaikum

Last two weeks Aleesa dah masuk 6 bulan.

Mixed feeling betul bila anak makin membesar ni. tambah lagi bila 24 hours memang berkepit dengan anak. All her progress memang berlaku depan mata. sebak pun ada  bila sekarang aleesa dah boleh merangkak. kenapa laju sgt membesar baby ibu ni?! huhu 😂 membesar dengan sihat ya anak. normal kan ibu ibu rasa gini. ;p

6 bulan = 6 bulan journey BF Aleesa.

Though journey i must say.

Husband and family become the witnesses when i go through this BF journey. Bumpy road at the very beginning. With lots of hurdles.

At first, I have no knowledge at all about breastfeeding . But my husband and i jadikan google our very own bestfriend to learn about bf since kite nekad nk bf my baby. Banyak sangat kami belajar. How to overcome engorge, how to stimulate the milk production. Ada jugak banyak bittersweet memories. One of it haruslah momen masa puasa. Which is production susu jatuh merudum yang buat kite jadi kalut. Eh macam macam lagi la kenangan. Hehe. Nak cerita in details tak habih satu entri blog ni kang haha.

Whatever it is, Alhamdulillah. ♥

I exclusively BF my daughter for 6 months!

Bak kata orang sekarang, dah dapat diploma in bf gitu.

But different people will go through different journey. Takkan sama. Ada yang smooth dari awal hingga akhir, ada yang struggle dari mula hingga akhir. Tapi apapun niat kite semua bf baby sama kan? Untuk ibu yang bagi anak fm jangan down. Benda tu tak salah pun. I know u had done your very best. Don't be sad ya. Please jangan compare our kids to other kids ok mommies? Believe me. Once we start to compare, we will always make a comparison with the others. Semua orang ada keupayaan dan kelebihan masing masing :)

My target of course nak exclusively bf my baby daughter for 2 years. Moga rezeki untuk anak ibu berpanjangan. Amin, inshaAllah..

Best ke Master?

Assalamualaikum ♥

Soalan yang selalu di utarakan. 

Best ke Master? 

Depends. 

Semua sebab niat :) 

Nak sambung Master la, sebab aku taknak kerja lagi

Nak sambung Master la, aku taknak ada komitmen lagi

Nak sambung Master la, aku nak ikut kawan aku.

Nak sambung Master la, parents aku nak aku jadi lecturer.

Nak sambung Master la, nanti aku senang dapat kerja.

Nak sambung Master la, nanti orang pandang aku tinggi sebab hebat.

Nak sambung master la, abang kakak aku ada Master 

So, ada sesiapa sambung Master atau nak sambung Master atas sebab di atas?

That's me.

Yang taknak kerja tu kite la :p dengan harapan sambung belajar soal kerja dapat skip for few years lagi. 

Masa dah grad on 2015 dulu pun, memang target nak sambung. Malas nak fikir beban kerja and everything. Masa degree pun dah set mind nak sambung huhu. Nak sambung belajar even takda minat nak ke arah apa. Nak belajar because i think i can. Nak belajar sebab dapat aura dari kawan yang sambung. Nak sambung sebab family support. Banyak sebab. 

And, am i happy with my decision? 

 Did i made a good move by continue my study? 

Yes and No. At some point, i just want to give up. At some point it is the other way round. Tapi setiap orang akan alami fasa dan emosi yang berbeza dalam alam postgrad. Bagi kite, kite bertuah sebab ada husband yang sama sama belajar. So, takda isu laa "kenapa u lama sangat pergi lab." Ataupun "kenapa u kena baca semua journal tu, u takda masa nak spent time dengan i ke?" And, that is a BIG RELIEVE. Sebab husband faham. We both faham the situation which make it as a win win situation. Tapi kalau yang belum kahwin tu janganla down sampai nak cari pasangan hehe. Belum kawin pun ada bright side dia, semua masa yang ada tu boleh tumpu untuk study. Make friend with postgrad students, get to know each other boleh sembang sembang release stress kongsi idea. Kan? ;) 

Kadang kadang bila nampak orang nak sambung lepastu someone else discourage dia, kite rasa tak adil. Yes, belajar susah. Ada anak susah nak belajar. Takda duit, study jadi terhalang. And banyak sebab yang boleh halang. Tapi.. Pls. Jadikan halangan tu satu kekuatan untuk u sambung. 

Ada anak susah? Yes. But then, kite nak provide better live to our kids that is why kite belajar. Memang akan ada masa nak give up sebab penat. Tapi after some time, u will get back the strength Dah kahwin susah? Yes. Tapi, kalau ada keazaman nak study untuk make a better living inshaAllah Allah permudahkan dan inshaAllah pasangan akan faham :) Takda duit susah? Yes. Duit takda macam duri dalam daging. Buat kite sakit menanggung. Tapi, usaha. Nak belajar inshaAllah akan dipermudahkan. Akan ada rezeki kewangan nanti :) Master sape cakap takda langsung halangan tu tipu. Cuma besar mana halangan tu je yang tuan punya badan akan lalui. 

Kalau takda masalah dengan diri, ada masalah dengan kawan.

Kalau takda masalah dengan kawan, masalah dengan supervisor.

Kalau takda masalah dengan supervisor, ada masalah dengan labmate yang buat hal.

Kalau takda masalah dengan labmate, masalah dengan diri sendiri yang malas. 

No matter what, akan ada halangan. Hadapi halangan, atasi halangan dan inshaAllah u will be fine :)

Sebab takda yang senang untuk dapat apa kite nak. Mind set boleh bantu kite untuk capai target kite. So, jum ulang berjuta kali cakap master is easy so that boleh grad dengan jayanya. Shall we? ;)

Tu belum episod kena utamakan labwork daripada wedding kawan. Sepanjang sambung dekat kelantan dulu dah beberapa wedding kawan tak dapat attend. Dah laaa kawan tak ramai lepastu takleh nak datang. Huhu. So sad. Episod lawork delay sebab asyik ada masalah. Asyik kena tukar tajuk berkali kali even labwork dah berjalan. Banyak dugaan ok. 

Siapa kata Master ni senang, ye tak?

Amalan semasa berpantang

Assalamualaikum ♥

My pantang routine 5 months ago :) Sebelum terlupa. And for future references :p

1. Mandi guna air rebusan 

Kite pernah mandi guna 3 jenis air rebusan. Sebab kite berpantang at 3 different houses. Right after deliver kite pantang dekat rumah PIL. Masa ni mandi air rebusan dapat dari makcik yang urut kite. Second house pantang at my parents’ house. Time ni kite dah kuat sikit and bahan rebusan ayah kite dapat dari makcik sekolah ayah kite. So hari hari guna air rebusan tu. Third house pantang dekat rumah adik ibu dekat semenyih. More than 1 week dekat sini plus masa ni kena masuk kelas. Since kite masih pantang, adik ibu tolong jagakan. Everyday mandi air rebusan jugak tak pernah miss. Seriously mandi air rebusan buat badan rasa segar! Antara daun yang kite guna untuk mandian, daun inai. Lepastu makcik kite masukkan halba jugak dalam air rebusan untuk kite mandi. Best! Daun lain kite lupa, nanti dah ingat kite update balik ok. 

2. Bertungku selepas mandi 

Tak berapa suka buat sebab panas! Hahaha. Tapi kena buat ok. Ibu kite siap tolong tungkukan sebab tau anak dia suka mengelat. Wahahaha. Kite start bertungku right after discharge from the hospital. Then stop sekejap sebab darah nifas suddenly heavy balik. Dalam seminggu kot kite stop bila darah nifas dah okay kite sambung buat. Sepatutnya twice a day selepas mandi pagi dan petang, bila mai mood malas tu sehari sekali kite buat. Tapi memang akan buat even sekejap.. Kalau kite tak buat habisla kena bebel :P batu tungku ni kena balut dengan daun mengkudu then ikat pakai kain batik. Bau dia boleh tahan, takdela busuk pun? sekarang ni ada jual tungku kan. Style charge tu. Tapi tak puas tungku guna gitu sebab tak totally panas macam guna batu. Kite tungku guna batu. Semangat ayah kite mintak kawan carikan batu sungai. Nasib tak berat sangat hehe. 

3. Pakai pilis 

Kite terlupa nak pakai masa awal awal pantang. Boleh?! Hehe. Sebabtu rasa something missing. Dalam minggu ketiga ke keempat pantang gitu baru teringat kena pakai pilis. Gigih la adik kite pi carikkan dekat kedai jamu lepastu tolong tepekkan dekat dahi kite. Hehe. Lepas dah teringat kena pakai pilis memang kite pakai. Sedap rasa bila pakai, berangin dahi. Ibu kite kata ni salah satu cara buang angin dalam badan. Pilis kite beli tu kena tambah air sikit, pakai nipis nipis je dekat dahi sampai kering.. 

4. Pakai barut 

Sepanjang pantang ada dua jenis barut kite guna. Satu jenis kain yang ibu kite jahitkan sendiri another one is barut magnet. Barut magnet ni turun temurun ok. Ibu kite pun guna masa pantangkan kitorang adik beradik dulu. (siap abang kite pernah keluarkan magnet dari barut ni sebab dia ingatkan mainan, ibu kite kena masukkan balik magnet hehe.) Barut magnet ni the easiest one la in case malas nak pusing pusing pakai barut kain. And pakai barut serious buat peluh ok. Kalau taknak perut menggelebeh sila pakai barut :p Antara semua, ni paling banyak kite mengelat. Sebab barut kain complicated. Eh ade je alasan kan wahahah. Dapat je dekat ibu kite dengan suami kite pakaikan barut kain ni, fehhhh ketat ok. Nak duduk pun susah. Wajib baring. Kite pakai krim barut nona roguy dulu before pakai barut, sedap je rasa panas panas gitu :)

5. Pakai stoking! 

Kenapa ada tanda seru? Sebab paling penting ui.. Jangan ambik ringan please bila orang kata nanti masuk angin. Sebab liang liang badan ni tengah terbukak sebab baru bersalin kan, confirm masuk angin kalau tak jaga betul. Stoking memang kite pakai 24 jam kecuali kalau masuk tandas. Siap kena pakai double socks kalau rasa tak cukup tebal. Siap mak mertua belikan selipar tau wajib pakai dalam rumah termasuk dalam tandas. 

6. Makanan pantang 

Makanan pantang kena jaga betul betul. Jangan pakat langgar je. Kalau nak tau boleh makan atau tak ask your mum or MIL ok? Macam MIL kite cakap, selalunya ikut ibu kite sendiri kalau ibu kite ok je means kite pun okay untuk makan makanan tu dalam pantang. Different people ada different pantang food, tapi yang penting make sure elakkan benda yang memang tak boleh makan. For example, ice and certain fish yang boleh buat kite gatal? Dan sepanjang kite pantang kite makan makanan freshly cooked bukan makanan yang dah dipanaskan. Orang tua kata tak elok. But I don’t kow significant nya dekat mana. Nasi pun tak boleh tambah. Yang pasti tengah panas panas lauk kena makan. Nanti sejuk masuk angin dalam badan.. 

7. Makanan tambahan

Since luka kite lambat baik, kite amalkan pati ikan haruan which is tak sedap langsung huhu. Terpaksa habiskan walaupun nak termuntah. Dengan bau dia yang ..... memang mengundang muntah. huhu. Tapi Alhamdulillah it works wonders! After few bottle minum, dapat rasa luka getting better . Lagi satu kite amalkan makan phytonatal. Biasalah kan ibu after bersalin memang ngilu sikit kalau nak pupu (read: buang air besar). Same macam kite. Takut gila ok. Tapi bila consume phytonatal Alhamdulillah senang pupu..

Siapa yang dah lalui pantang mesti tahu penat dia lain macam sikit sebab kena handle baby newborn kan.. Tambah lagi kalau anak first macam kite. Tapi kalau buat yang kite sebutkan dekat atas ni mesti badan rasa ringan dan segar. For first time mom yang tengah pantang tu, chaiyok! Penat sikit je masa pantang ni, inshaAllah berbaloi.
