Sayonara 2009

It's just toooo fast, today is the last day of 2009. Rasanya baru je start keje. Today, I see my system julian calendar as 109366. Huhu, it will change to 110001 tomorrow. Anyway, banyak sangat benda yang berlaku in 2009, January, start new job, February, my daughter was diagnosed ada congenital trigger thumb, was sooo busy in out hospital to confirm and to decide for the operation. Finally, in June, Cam went through operation successfully. The thumb can be used as per normal. Then, 2009 jugak busy ngan pindah rumah. hmm..but year end end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us, agree? Happy new year 2010.

Laughter is the best medicine

Every morning, my husband and I will try our best to have early coffee/breakfast together to start our day. Today, on our daily morning chat, my husband talked about healty living by laughter in our life. We are learning the philosophy of happy living..by living a stress free, happy and healthy. I remember, (once upon a time), I had 'conflict' with my mother in law during my pregnancy and it was prolong till about a year after the delivery. And, it was actually affected me a lot, and I went through such a long process of post natal blue. I was happy with the arrival of my new bundle of joy. But, my surroundings especially my mother in law made me soo deeply depressed. At one time I just cant see her face. I know, I was a bad daughter in law. And now, I regret it A LOT. Please dont do what I did. I win at no where, I lose at many where(s). And, the result were, the multi stress helped to damage my body and cause illness, not only to me but to my daughter as well. And,I admit I quarreled a lot with my husband also because of her. Alhamdulillah, somehow at one point, I slowly managed to accept and overcome all the situations (with the help from my husband of course). I learned to appreciate my mother in law more, I started to see things differently. I began to look at the positive aspects of her, and I started to accept or put aside the negative aspects. After all, I, myself is not a perfect human being. I learned to give her more, I learned to tolerate, I learned to love her and put more laughters to our life.

Let laugh to live!

Patient

Kesabaran ada hadnya. But, how when you deal with your kids? I really really dont like shouting or yelling at my daughter. But, at times, memang menguji kesabaran when dealing with my daughter. I think it’s normal for parents to get angry or frustrated from time to time. Anyway, it’s my goal to the world’s most patient mommy. Haha.

Whenever my daughter throws tantrums or she did massive mess or anything yang sangat-sangat menguji kesabaran, I will follow these below steps ; (mix tips from zenhabits as well)

1. Take your deep breaths and count to 10. To delay your angry temperature to blow out. And at times, I will tell to my daughter “Ok, I count to 10, 1..2..3..). Then, my daughter will quickly stop.
2. Pretends that my mother in law is watching me. Ha ha. When I think that my mother in law is watching me, I will automatically not to overreact or shout to my daughter. It works well for me. :)
3. Think about how a good mother will react. I always think about how patience is my mother. I will automatically change my behavior to be more positive.
4. Think about my daughter is just 3 years old. She is still learning. Thus, I have to be a good guidance. Find new ways to teach her.
5. Take a break from the situation. Leave her for less than 10 minutes. Calm down myself, think back and organize my words and tackle the situation back.

Kindergarten

I have just enrolled my daughter for a kindie 2010 intake. I admit the fact that searching for a kindie to suit our child is a tough job. There are so many choices out there. Small or Big, Expensive or Cheap, Good or Bad. Many many things to put into the list.

My only child will turn to 4 years old next year. I think it’s appropriate time to send her to kindergarten. My parents and parents in law said, it’s better to wait till she turns 5 years old kasik dia besar sikit. But, some how husband & me have decided to send her earlier. Why:-

-Because she is repeatedly using word “boring”
-Because she is the only child at home, obviously she is bored
-Because I cant afford to travel from and to shah alam-damansara everyday. Mengharung jam dekat kayu ara yang kadang2 boleh makan masa 1 jam.

I am now feel so relieved after the registration. I just hope she will be happy there.

Yang mana satu anda suka..he he he..cantik2 nya lah mereka.

Ready, Set..!! Breakfast!

Eat your breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day! Saya selalu 'nag' my dotter to finish her breakfast and remind her on how important is the breakfast. I always have a thought that breakfast will help our kids to increase their abilities to learn. Thus, I have to cultivate my daughter in the habit of eating a nutritious breakfast each morning and they'll be on their way to a better day. Sooner, she will be going to school, so breakfast will help her to a better school day. TETAPI, my dotter is very picky eater.. She has tekak melayu. She doesnt like to have bread or cereal for breakfast. Susahnya..sbb kadang2 macam dah lambat nak pegi office, so bread or cereal is the best way. Errr, also the fastest way... So, cuba punya cuba, I tengok dia suka sangat cekodok. So, I prepare cekodok pediasure. I think it's complete meal sebab pediasure can help kids grow and pediatricians also recommend this. Ni la resepinya. Cuba lah TRY:

Cekodok Pediasure

Tepung gandum half cup

2 cedok pediasure

1 sudu besar oats (i pakai quaker oat)

2 ulas bawang di cincang halus

3 daun sup

1/2 kacang panjang (di hiris halus2)

sebijik telur

Campurkan semua bahan di atas dengan air satu cawan. Kacau.

Boleh la di goreng. Masuk kan bancuhan tepung tu ke dalam minyak pakai sudu. Kalau boleh guna smart balance oil, good for our health.

Ni sangat cepat utk disediakan. Paling lama 15 min termasuk membasuh balik semua peralatan. My dotter loves it sooo much. Mesti habis dia makan.

Healthy hair with Crowning Glory

Sejak melahirkan anak..rambut memang senang gugur.. Slalu i only tried shampoo or conditioner ke..This time around..my husband's friend suggested to us to try Crowning Glory. So, we bought it from Guardian..Hehe..nasib baik ada. So, termasuk hari ni..we've been eating Crowning Glory supplement for 3 days..

I think this product available at most of drug stores.

3 years old art expression

My dotter loves drawing. I think all kids at this age love to draw kan. I am happy to see how she is able to produce pictorial drawing now. And, I also feel it's also like expressive art. Let's see her drawings on how she potrays her family or people, and sun.

oh Hand Phone

Huhu.. saya tak boleh on my precious handphone..I think I have more than 100 photos of my lil’ princess there.. Pity me!..I don’t have backup at all..Now, I am using my husband’s spare phone. Please anyone out there..Please be generous towards me….please buy new phone for me..I cant buy new phone now..that’s not in my priority list… I need to save up money…My husband told me my hand phone has reached the age limit..lagi2 dengan keganasan saya mengunakan handphone..

Errr…I have outstanding task that need to be accomplished..I have to create a blog for my sister’s tudung. I have created before, but I have to re-invent . Sorry sis, I will try to find time to re-invent the blog. Accept my apologies? No? dosa tau…hidup kena saling memaafkan…

November

Resume my blogging xtvt..Al-kisahnya….saya mula tahu birthday saya bulan November masa saya 6 tahun. Masa tu bapa saya bawak saya pegi ke jabatan pendaftaran untuk repot kehilangan surat beranak. Officer di situ tanya bapa saya “apakah tarikh lahirnya”..lalu bapa saya cakap “16 hb November”. Sejak itulah saya tahu tarikh lahir saya. Saya rasa sungguh seronok bila saya dapat tengok surat beranak angkat sumpah saya. Seingat saya size surat beranak replacement itu besar. Akan tetapi, my mother used to tell me in actual fact saya ni lahir on May 6th. But, I don’t believe it till one day, I found pink colour card in old cupboard in the kitchen. Almari tu dah nazak sangat, ntah macammana tangan ni gatal nak bukak drawer tu. It’s written there “kad kesihatan klinik desa”. Then, I checked inside , I saw my name then I checked again. I saw 5/5 (Sakit Bersalin), 6/5(Bayi lahir 6:45 petang). Saya tak ingat umur saya berapa ketika itu. Rasanya 8 tahun kot. Dalam kad itu juga ada surat beranak asal saya yang bertarikh saya lahir pada 6th November. Lepas itu bila saya nak buat ic saya bila darjah 6, surat beranak saya yang bertarikh 16th November tu hilang, maka bapa saya menggunakan surat beranak yang asal bertarikh 6th November. Oleh kerana surat beranak itulah, maka mykad saya menyatakan birthday saya 6th November. Saya mengalami kesukaran untuk mendapatkan ic mahupun mykad, oleh kerana tarikh lahir yang berbeza.

Sekian kisahnya..Oh ye..Patutkah saya celebrate birthday saya in November jugak? Saya rasa patut, sebab itulah birthday saya yang tertulis di Jabatan pendaftaran Negara dan birthday itu jugalah yang saya gunakan untuk urusan2 rasmi seperti pekerjaan, insuran .etc. Sekian
