Aku rindu...

Lagi beberapa jam my boy akan pulang dr skool..strange enough, bile my boy tak selalu berada di sisi, aku terasa sprt kehilangan..sblm ini, sms hanya my boy menemani aku buat kerja2 sekolah dan rumah di rumah tanpa my girl di sisi, aku sprt merindui my girl..soalannya di sini, kuatkah aku menghadapi perpisahan sementara mahupon kehilangan mereka selama2nya? bukan hanya bila berjauhan dgn anak2, termasuk juga bila berjauhan dgn my darling..aku tetap terasa sunyi..sepi..dan rindu..walaupon, my darling tiada di sisi aku sewaktu dia keluar bekerja..yelah, siapa tak sayang suami sendiri yang oiii???

Biarpon kkdg bila org yg terdekat dgn diri aku ade di rumah..mereka suka buat aku sakit kepala dan sakit tengkuk..tapi yg nyata, bila mereka tiada..aku jadi seorang perindu..rindu yg amat2..

Yang aku perasan sejak my boy pi skool dan balik pukul 3.20 ptg..aku jadi semakin syg..semakin berlembut hati..kurang sedikit aku nak marah2, tapi aku lebih suka nak belai2..kkdg aku jadi sedih..bila hanya beberapa jam saja aku dapat menghabiskan masa bersama my boy...sbb seingat aku, hari pertama dia pulang dari skool pukul 3.20 ptg..oleh kerana keletihan, my boy tidur awal pukul 7 ptg..aku terasa sprt hampa sbb tak sampai beberapa jam aku bermain2 dgnnya dia dah terlelap tidur..my boy sprt biasa..sprt kanak2 lain yg masih naif..tidak mungkin tahu apa perasaan seorang ibu yg terbuku di hati..yg ibunya ini begitu merinduinya di kala dia tiada di sisi...

Bila my boy ke sekolah, aku mengambil peluang, menghabiskan masa bersama my girl..baru aku ada masa sepenuhnya nak concentrate nak bermain mini-puzzle, shape sorter, stacking dan bacakan buku utk my girl sprt yg mana aku dulu spend masa bersama my boy bila dia sebaya umur dgn my girl skrg..seingat aku, aku byk stimulate my boy lebih awal dr adiknya..bila bilangan anak bertambah, tanggungjawab bertambah..dan pandai2la kita nak membahagi masa dan kasih syg utk meraka yg terdekat dgn kita..

My boy skrg aku lihat semakin matured, ceria..byk yg dia belajar melalui cbeebies..suka nak spend masa dgn komputer..dan perubahan lain sejak my darling byk spend masa dgn my boy..mereka sudah mulai ada connection..he start asking his daddy to accompany him when he wants to sleep..which a good start..for the whole family to settle down as my plan..cume kkdg, kami tak stick to the rule by 9 everybody needs to sleep..mungkin kene buat bit by bit..Kebiasaannya, samaada aku atau my darling akan bacakan sebuah buku sblm anak2 tidur..skrg my girl alhamdulillah nampaknya macam terikut2 abgnya, beriya nak menenguk buku macam nak tembus buku pon ada...

Perkembangan my girl macam biasa semenjak dia duduk bersama aku selalu di rumah..semakin manja..yg aku perasan, dia bule berdikari..periang, lebih lasak berbanding abgnya...mainan kegemarannya skrg adalah winnie the pooh&mini puzzle..

Kalu ikutkan..

Kalu diikut dah nak masuk minggu ke-2 kita berpuasa..aim nak overhaulled perut dan menyusutkan badan nampaknya hanya skdr aim..aim tercapai slps 3 hari berpuasa..tetapi lepas tu, bila aku naik kat penimbang..bebaru ni aku dah put on weight 2kgs...kuhhh smgt...cepat sgt aku naik badan..hairan juga..kalu ikutkan after 3 days fasting, I was 51-52kgs saje..

adakah sbb...

Snail...

My boy is a big fan of snail. He told me snail is one of his best friends ever. When I showed his 1 year old plastisin, he made a family of snail. He explained to me one to another snails that he made as each member in our family-daddy, mommy, himself and his baby sitter...I was impressed to see my boy first creativity using plastisin to demonstrate his imagination and creative thinking. We made the figures together. I helped him a little to roll and soften the plastisin.

Here are the pictures-my boy first creativity's figures-a family of snail..look how gorgeous and cute the figures are. They are made on 6th August, 2007 by my boy...He learned new words related with snail like shell, slug and antena while making his figures.



Am not pretty sure what is it my boy made for-the one sitting on the carpet. Probably nanny snail..hahahaha..

His very chatty now and know how to communicate and gather sentence quite well. Sometimes, his sentence is a mixture of English and Malay. Eventhough, my boy speaks quite later than my other friend's children, but am still happy to see his progress at this stage. His has proven his ability to talk and increase his level of maturity able to speak and response like an adult, although some of his recent words sometimes annoying me like:-

'what are you talking about?'
'i dont know what you are talking'


deep in my heart, it sound harsh on me as a mother. Sometimes, I can see, my boy trying to behave like an adult and manipulating the rules to trick the elder.

I must admit, nowadays, children is not like children in my year. They are smarter and should be told like a matured people. Whatever reason you want to give to them, it should be logic because they can think and they can dispute what we are saying if the reason is not convincing enough.

He loves to draw and to colour. Other than snail, he amaze with insects like ant and spider. He likes worm too. His very excited to see worm wriggling. He can explain transformation from caterpillar to butterfly. He keeps talking about caterpillar tight in cocoon before she changes to butterfly that I have never spoken or even taught about this before. All he learned are from CBEEBIES. He knows almost every single character in CBEEBIES..Sad enough, me as a mother does not know very well who they are except Sam the Fire Engine, Teletubbies, Big Cook, Little Cook..too many to write..His most favoured toy will be his 'Power Rangers' figures, transformer's gun and LEGO. He never been bored with LEGO since he is 1.5 years old. Its really paid off, eventhough LEGO can drive me mad if my boy doesnt store them well. Now, my girl start to follow his brother footstep. Try to stick 1 brick to another brick to make a figure. She is starting to copy his brother to draw and to colour. She really can't see pen/pencil, she will draw everything on it...

Semakin hari..

Semakin hari, semakin cepat masa berlalu..dan diam tak diam..my boy dah pon nak menginjak ke usia 4.5 tahun. This coming Sept dia akan solely attend the class till 3.30 p.m...Aku tgk perangainya lebih matured, kurang bangun malam dan dah dua pagi dia yg mengingatkan aku utk sarapan. Sblm ni apetite my boy teramatla kurang..Pancingla macam2, belum tentu lagi dia nak makan...ntah kenapa, hangin mana datang..skrg dia dah nak mula makan...Kalu aku lambat je bersiap di pagi hari, dia akan naik ke tingkat atas dan carik aku tuk remind...yg dia lapar dan makan makanan yg dia nak makan..perkataan synonym dia buat masa ini..

'mummy, am really hungary'
'what do u want to eat my dear'
'i want my cereal'

Pagi ni, slps mandi, dia nak minta makan biskut coklat di ruang tamu...kemudian, aku cakap tak bule..dgn bijaknya dia cube memanipulasikan, yg kat rumah baby sitter, kakak tu kata kalu nak makan biskut bule makan kat depan...

'mummy, i want my chocolate biscuit'
'we dont have any more my dear, but we do have Marie if you want, but u cant eat here'(sambil aku tunjuk sofa depan tv)
'i want to have my biscuit and watching CBEEBIES'
'ok, if u want ur CBEEBIES, we can eat in the kitchen'
'but kakak says, we can eat at the front my biscuit'
'oh, that was kakak said, but this is what mummy said, u cant have ur biscuit in the living room..this is mummy's house, so, u have to listen to mummy...at kakak's house, u follow what kakak's says, ok'

kemudian, my boy tersipu2..mungkin malu sbb taktik nak makan kat depan dia tak menjadi..In fact, skrg mandi pagi pon aku ta perlu nak struggle dan stress mcm sblmnya..tapi, tula...ini baru development utk kedua hari..we never know what will happen next...

as for my girl, macam biasa tak tahu apa2 sgt..tapi, skrg ni tersgtla kerap bangun malam..sampai sakit badan aku dibuatnya...dek menyusukan dia..

Age spots

Subject: age spots

I have clusters of black spots on my face -- age spots, I presume. Can I get rid of them? If yes, then is there a natural way of getting rid of them? Thank you, Philippa

Philippa,
First, you need to decipher what's an age spot and what's not. There are several types of these unsightly blotches, but one cause is common to all of them, doctors say, and that's sun damage. You may have exposed unprotected skin to ultraviolet rays, whether from a tanning booth, a sunlamp or years of going without sunscreen. In response, your skin has tried to protect itself by producing an overabundance of melanin--the pigmented cells in your skin--in uneven patches.

Chemicals called psoralens are present in foods such as parsley, limes and parsnips. When you handle these foods and then go out in the sun, your skin may be more sensitive and burn more easily where the psoralens touched it. When the little blisters from the burns have healed, age spots may appear in their places.

Antibiotics such as tetracycline (Achromycin), some diuretics (water pills) and antipsychotic medicines such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine) will also cause your skin to produce age spots when it is not protected from the sun.

And if your favorite fragrance or lotion contains musk or bergamot oil, which are common perfume ingredients, it may give you more than a lovely scent. When perfumes or lotions containing these ingredients are applied to sun-exposed areas, they can produce age spots.

The most important thing you can do to stop new age spots from forming is to wear sunscreen--all the time. And an ounce is just about what it takes, dermatologists say.

http://www.mothernature.com/Library…

Home remedies for age spot :-

1)Drink 8 glasses of pure water daily.

2)Vitamin E oil or cod liver oil will reduce coloration when applied to affected areas daily.The best remedy is the cod liver oil.The only thing better is to use it more than once a day.

3)Wash your face with sour milk. Lactic acid will provide gentle peeling effect without irritating or drying your skin.

4)Blemishes and age spots can become fainter by applying lemon juice a few times a day.Dab on some lemon juice onto a cottonball then wipe the dark spots with the juice, twice daily. Do not use if your have dry, or sensitive skin. It may take several weeks of use before the spots will fade.

5)Another great remedy is to rub a piece of red onion onto the spots..it may take a few weeks of use before you see results. 6)Apply a paste of turmeric powder with sugarcane juice to remove wrinkles and to prevent skin ageing.

7)Apply daily, to these darkened areas of the skin, a solution containing 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of onion juice. According to this home remedy, the spots should begin to fade within 2 weeks.

8)increase your Vitamin C intake! It makes your skin less sensitive to the sun. Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus fruits, apples, green onions, black and red currant, rosehip tea.

9)Limit exposure to the sun and wear a sunscreen daily. Eat a high protein diet made up of 50% raw fruits and vegetables, whole grain cereals, seeds and nuts. Avoid all animal protein foods for 30 days. Avoid caffeine, fried foods, red meat, junk foods, sugar

10)To prevent wrinkles and soften your skin, you could try pure castor oil; it is known to slow down the aging process of the skin.

Hi,
Yes there are many natural ways to get rid of age spots.

The fastest way is to go for a herbal facial with skin polishing once in 15 days until these marks are gone and then reduce the frequency to once every month.

If you want a home remedy,

1.Wash your face with a himalaya face wash(it's available in the USA).

2.Apply a face pack of mashed papaya mixed with milk cream or milk powder.Use this every day , 15 minutes and then wash it off.

If you have an oily skin, add a few drops of lemon to the above face pack.

3.Make a paste of mint leaves and cucumber and apply on your face and wash after 15 minutes.

Use either one of the face pack in a day,for a good effect use alternate packs everyday.

4.Diet, Nothing new...more fruits, plenty of water, lots of dairy products, honey.

5.Hygeine, Keep your hands always clean, and please keep them off your face.

Good Luck for a glowing skin.

Age Spots as a result of a decrease in the number and function of pigment cells in sun-exposed areas. Avoid exposure to sun for long duration. You should use a sunscreen whenever you move out in the sun.
Drink at least ten glasses of water in a day. Drink two glasses of water in the morning when you wake up, before brushing your teeth. Try applying lime (nimbu) to the discoloured area. Do this everyday, and wash off after 15 minutes. You could also apply lime to the affected area at night once in a while, and wash off in the morning when you bathe. Bleaching the affected area once a month will lighten it too. Do not bleach when pregnant. Various creams and lotions that claim to reduce pigmenation are also available. You could try them to see if they work for you. You can prepare this mask by first soaking 1 tablespoon urad dal and 4 almonds in water overnight and then grinding them into a paste. You can then apply this protein mask to your face and wash it off after half an hour. This exceptional protein mask will not only nourish the skin but also bleach it. For natural bleaching: - mix milk and lemon juice. The milk will break as soon as you mix the lemon juice in it. Use that mixture to massage on your body. It works as natural bleaching. Take lemon juice, mixed with gram flour, milk cream and honey for dry skin. Replace milk cream and honey with sandalwood powder and curd for oily to normal skin. Apply it on your face to ensure a clear complexion. Besides natural things and bleaching with hair bleach cream or hydroquninone you can only go to a dermatologist and ask for a high prescription cream for the hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin E applied daly on the pigmentation (in general age spots) will work like a charm, it will take about a week before you start seeing the effect or mix vitEoil with castro oil and appply that on pigmentation.

Sometimes bleaching the area may help too. Its best to use home made bleach, unless for facial hair.

The home bleach: combine two tablespoons of milk powder, mix in a enough liquid hydrogen peroxide to form a thick paste amke sure its not drippy. If your hair is very dark and coarse mix in a couple drops (like two) of liquid ammonia. This is considered to be the least harmful kind of bleach since the powder milk in the mixture moisturizes the skin while bleaching preventing skin burns and other reactions that comes from commercial bleaches.

Natural bleach Mix equal proportions of tomato juice, lemon juice and milk and apply on face and body. A skin tonic The juice of a fresh pear and apple with a few drops of fresh lemon juice acts as a good skin tonic. Mix one tablespoon of honey with two egg whites. Add enough wheat bran or wheat flour to make a paste. Leave for a few minutes then rinse off with warm water.

Hello, With aging, many people develop dark spots on their skin, particularly in the sun-exposed areas of the face and back of the hands. Others develop dark spots after pregnancy or trauma, such as an abrasion, insect bite or cut.
If you have dark spots on your skin, check with a dermatologist to make sure that they are harmless and can be left in place. If you hate the way they look, your doctor can remove most elevated dark spots by burning them with an electrocautery, freezing them with liquid nitrogen, destroying them with various acids or removing them by scraping them off. You can go to a dermatologist several times to have your skin peeled with weak acids, such as glycolic acid, which usually remove most of the pigment, but sometimes can make the skin darker.

If the dark spots are not elevated, your doctor can prescribe a special combination cream made by mixing one ounce each of 4% hydroquinone cream, any sunscreen and 0.05% tretinoin cream. You can buy the first two without a prescription. The third component, tretinoin cream, requires a prescription, but you can get along just with glycolic acid, hydroquinone and a sunscreen. The brown spots usually fade after you apply all three creams twice a day for several months.

How to reduce spots: 1.Prevent them from getting worse by using a sunscreen when you go out, paying particular attention to your face and hands. Make sure you choose a sunscreen that blocks UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF of at least 15. Age spots are caused by a lifetime of exposure to the sun, so you can stop them from getting worse by covering up. 2. Wear a long-sleeved shirt and wide-brimmed hat when you know you'll be in the sun. 3. Use an alpha-hydroxy cleanser and lotion on areas of the skin that have age spots. It helps to fade them. 4. Apply a fade cream like Esoterica or Ambi to the skin at night. They help to restore skin to a uniform color. The prescription medication Retin-A works like a fade cream on age spots. 5. Have a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon remove them with a laser if nothing else works. Best wishes.

Why has ALOE been added to the formulation?

Aloe is well known for it's benefits to skin care. Components of Aloe Vera have been found to reverse degenerative skin changes by stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis, in essence turning back the clock on the effects aging has on skin. One of the main reasons Aloe Vera has become so popular is that it possesses incredible moisturizing properties. Studies show that Aloe Vera improves the skin's ability to hydrate itself, aids in the removal of dead skin cells and has an effective penetrating ability that helps transport healthy substances through the skin. Aloe Vera is currently one of the most important ingredients in the cosmetics industry, being utilized in over 95% of the dermatologically valuable extracts manufactured worldwide.

TESTIMONIALS

This Skin Lightening Cream is different, and it doesn't seem to have any side-effects. Noticeable good results, without any of the stinging feelings as with other products.

Hi Phillipa,
Age spots, also called liver spots, increase in number as we get older. By definition, they are flat patches of increased pigment, like freckles.

Though cosmetically worrisome, age spots are not threatening and do not need to be treated. On the other hand, it is no coincidence that age spots commonly appear on the backs of hands and necks, forearms and the face, all places that receive the most sun exposure. "Age spots are a reflection of significant sun damage.

Try these home remedies for Black Spots:

1)mix rice flour with curd and apply on the area. Rub gently on the skin. Let it dry and wash off with water. However, this mixture should not be applied around the eyes.

2)Wash your face with BROWN SUGAR, every twice a day 4 a week, if the marks are not from pimples then just used raw coca butter.

3)wash your face with hot water, dry it, and then soon after, on either side of the black spot, apply pressure with your fingers, and stuff should come out of your pores

)Make a paste of either half a piece of nutmeg/ six to eight jamun seeds with water/ rose water. Apply on your face. Leave to dry. Then, wash with cold water and pat dry.

5)Squeeze half a fresh lemon into one glass of freshly boiled milk. Leave for half and hour, then apply on your face before retiring to bed. 6)Take 125 ml (¾ cup) of tomato juice and squeeze in half a lemon. Add five to seven mashed mint leaves and black salt to taste.

Drink this every morning and evening for at least one week. It will help detoxify the body. It also helps to relieve constipation and worm infestation.

If you have a combination skin - Dry + Oily skin -try these home remedies:

Mix 3-4 tablespoons of Multani mitti (Fuller's Earth) with 8-10 ground pudina (mint) leaves. Freeze the pack overnight.

Keep outside for 10-15 minutes and then apply on your face. After 10-15 minutes, wash off and pat dry. It helps in cooling and cleansing your skin.

Boil a handful of lemon grass leaves in one litre of water, until you get the aroma. Then, place in an ice tray and freeze.

After returning home from work or an outing, rub a lemon grass ice cube all over your face. It cleanses the dirt and grime accumulated in your skin's pores and shuts them

Dear Philipa,No matter what kind of age spots you have, they can all be treated.
Removal is the only way to make unwanted spots disappear totally. Doctors have many techniques at their disposal, including freezing with liquid nitrogen, laser removal, or surgical removal. Acid-based creams can also help.

Certain ingredients used over and over again in the hold herbal body care formulas for this problem. The ingredients include vitamin E, aloe vera gel, fruit acids such as lemon juice and organic apply cider vinegar, enzymes such as papaya and pineapple, witch hazel, and horseradish mixed with lemon juice, or milk.

Annie Berthold-Bond, Care2.com Producer, Green Living Channels says age spots significantly diminish over a number of months using lemon juice as an astringent and an aloe vera gel and glycerin moisturizer (3/4 parts aloe vera gel, 1/4 part natural vegetable glycerin).

Also long-term treatment with lemon oil will provide visible improvement when applied topically, as it works to gradually lighten age spots. This blend may also lightly bleach pigmentation and freckles.

*Have all spots/moles checked regularly by your doctor, and any changes in freckle colour or size should be monitored.

hi, you can surely get rid of them by using herbal/home made mask or face packs but it requires a constant practice. if you don't continue applyiing those mask or face pack which suits to your skin you are not likely to get rid of those spots. papaya is the best anti aging fruit. eat it if you like it and also apply it on your face. for applying this ,cut it in pices and mash it all ,apply it on your face , leave it, scrub a little by your hand and wash off. if you can get shahanaz hussain herbal mask, it will work good for you. try to do regular monthly facial with good massage cream and face pack. make a habit to use scrub once or twice in a week.apricot scrub is good one, ckeck it if it suits to your skin otherwise you can aslo make scrub at home. you can use rice powder or suji/rawa powder as a base and mix it with milk/rose water/simple water as per your skin type and scrub it on your face/body and wash off. drink lot of water and fluids. consume green salad/vegetables as much as you like. have a positive attitude and try to keep engage in your favourite activities. i have seen many people who do this, looks fresh and spot less. may be it is called the feeling which comes from inside and shows on our face. i know sometimes it is very difficult to do this while lot of obstacles are surrounded us but this is called life with ups and downs. so do not worry much and wear a smile on your face and do apply those mask/face packs which suit to your skin. yes... i forgot to mention one thing as check if there is any harmonal disbalance as this also badly affect on us hence we get some kind of problems in the result of acne/spots/marks etc. keep your hemeoglobin good and go for regular medical check up. hope this helps

Dear Philippa,
To be honest, it is quite hard to get rid of age spots. But possible. First of all, prevent their appearance by using a good anti-aging cream (try LOreal, Living Nature, Estee Lauder, Dior) and make sure that it contains SPF of at least 15 during the day. Use heacier cream at night. Also, keep your diet healthy and rich in fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, lentils and fish, drink lots of water and take regular excercise.

Try this face mask after cleansing and exfoliation twice a week: mash some green papaya and mix 1 tb of it with 1 tb mashed avocado and 1 tsp honey. Apply for 20 minutes and relax before washing off.

Furthermore, try Palmers Fade Cream few times a week just on the affected areas, it works for age spots and pigmentation.

Good luck!

How to Get Rid of Brown Spots Using Home Remedies

Freckles/Brown Spots:Here are some natural remedies that will clear some of your freckles!

1) Apply sour lemon cream on your face. Do not rinse this mask off completely; gently wipe off with a soft tissue and top it up with a moisturizer.

2) Lemon juice is a tried and tested remedy for treating freckles. Apply lemon juice with your fingers on the affected area; lemon juice bleaches the dark spots.

3)Regular use of fruit and vegetable masks such as those made with apricots, strawberries, cucumbers and red currant will help lighten freckles.

4)Wash your face with sour milk. Lactic acid promotes gentle peeling of skin minus the irritation or dryness.

5)Heat honey slightly and apply to face, tap face gently with your fingers. Wash honey off with warm water then rinse with cool water. Stir in a little quantity of wheat germ into the honey before applying.

5)Horseradish juice or horseradish vinegar, or oatmeal dabbed on the skin is also helpful in lightening freckles.

6)Apply parsley juice mixed with equal amounts of lemon juice, orange juice, and red currant juice under your favorite cream will help you keep your freckles invisible.

7)Apply odorless olive oil or vitamin E at night before going to bed.

8)Dissolve some sugar in the juice of one lemon. Apply mixture to each freckle with a brush.

9)Grind yellow mustard in milk and apply to the face during the night. Wash your face the next morning.

10)Onions also can be used for removing freckles and age spots. Slice a red onion in half and rub on the spots twice daily. Continue until the spots fade.

11)Applying buttermilk on freckles is thought to help in lightening them.

12)Mix an equal quantity of turmeric and sesame seeds. Grind in water and apply to the face.

13)Take a watermelon, make a hole in its rind and introduce some grains of rice in it. Take out the rice after 9 weeks. Be sure to put it in the fridge! Grind into a paste and apply on the face.

15)To lighten freckles, mash 1/4 cup of unripe currants and mix with 1 tbsp. of unpasteurized honey. Put on freckles and leave on for half an hour. Rinse off with warm water and dab on diluted fresh lemon juice.


Tips
Take off any makeup before trying any of these.
If you don't have any lemon juice, you can use real lemons.


Warnings
If you have sensitive skin, don't apply lemon on your face, its could sting!
Not all of these will work for each person

Wednesday, July 25, 2007

My boy skrg asik sibuk dgn starship rooper..sampai terlupa nak makan kadang2 tu..kalu nak makan mmg kene diumpan dgn cerita starship rooper barula dia nak makan..dah semakin matured dan bule diharap utk main sendiri..my girl plak dah pandai sebut 'minum' dan 'kaka'..aku tak pasti sape yg direfer dia sbg 'kaka'

Menten jgn tak menten..

Hari ini aku tak berapa lalu nak makan..bangkit pon terlewat disebabkan cuaca sejuk yg menyenyakkan lagi org nak tidur..my boy pon tak ke skool, gara2 bangkit lambat dan kendian lak dalam aku sibuk2, my girl plak poo-poo..so, lagi membantutkan aku nak hantar my boy ke skool as jam dah menunjukkan pukul 10 pagi..Pagi ni sms kami ke pos opis my boy bertanya..

my boy:'mommy, why dont we go to school today?'
mommy:'because u woke up late this morning'

Dalam hati aku berkata..pandai plak dia dah tanya kenapa dia tak ke sekolah..sedangkan almost everyday dia menangis bila kami mandikan supaya dia segar bile sampai sekolah..

My darling lagi kelam-kabut sbb skrg rumah aku cume hanya ade satu kunci..jadi, apa2 mesti dia kene tunggu aku dulu sblm pergi kerja kalu tidak nanti rumah tak terkunci pula..Balik dr post opis slps dgn selamatnya send my darling's hsmp application form, turun dr kereta, my girl dah tak terkawal nak berjalan ke sana ke mari..bisa berdebar jantung mommynya ini..mana taknya, kalu terus my girl lari kene ke tgh jalan, sng2 aje kenderaan nak hit my girl..So, aku masukkan my girl dulu ke dalam rumah sementara si abg kecoh2 nakkan lego dia..

Kkdg aku hairan dgn anak2 aku.., mainan yg aku ingat nak sedekahkan kat org.., mainan tu jugak yg dorang dok sibuk2 nak buat mainan..So, aku masukkan semula mainan stacker yg pada mulanya aku nak donate tu utk my girl dan my boy buat main..nampak perkembangan iq my girl..dia dah mula belajar stacking..my boy plak, aku tgk makin kreatif dia main lego..macam2 bentuk dia buat..dr seingat aku kecik2 dulu, dia buat binatang lion ke hapa katanya from lego hinggala skrg sekejap2 dia bina tembak, camera, dinosour dan macam2 lagi..cume, aku je kurang sensitif nak amik gamba segala bentuk lego yg boy dah bina..sepemerhatian aku, dalam byk2 mainan, lego nila yg my boy langsung tak bosan tak nak main..pada permulaannya, mmgla aku marah2 juga, especially bila terpijak lego yg bersepah2 my boy kerjakan 2.5 tahun yg lalu..tapi, skrg aku macam dah tak kisah sgt..kalu terpijak lego2 tu, sakit sedikit pon..aku kurang sket nak temper..bile aku temper, aku masih ingat lagi my darling gelak2kan aku sbb mengaduh kesakitan demi nak let my boy cerdik nak main lego..tapi, pada aku alhamdulillah, buat masa ini, kesakitan aku tu seolah2 terbayar..

Hari ini dalam kul 10.30 a.m, h/bag baru aku sampai..punyela seronok terlompat2 dan terjerit2 aku dibuatnya..sampai my boy bertanya..'what happened to u mommy?' ..dan2 tu jugak aku dah pindahkan segala macam brgn aku dr h/bag guess aku ke h/bag baru aku..hahahhaha..mmg kualiti tu takkan sama, h/bag guess aku dgn h/bag baru yg aku ade..pi post opis, aku melaram pakai h/bag baru aku...tak kirala kalu org post opis tu nak kutuk aku macam2..

Jumaat ni, mungkin kami confirm pi swimming..rasa tak sabar2 pon ade..sbb dah lama aku tak main air..malas nak exercise sgt..so, alternative utk org pemalas sprt aku adalah dgn pergi berenang..Harapnya aku bule tahan makan utk hari ini hingga ke jumaat..kalu tak sng sgt perut tu nak nampak buncit..tak fasal2 kene gelak mahu pon kutuk dgn kawan2..

My girl hari ni pon duduk di rumah..skrg ni pon my girl sdg tidur sejak berjaga dr pukul 8.30 a.m..aku seboleh mungkin nak belajar buat kerja dgn anak2..next week my baby sitter aku tak de..aku rase, buat masa ni alhamdulillah, bule handle budak2 tu..mungkin lama-kelamaan nanti aku akan jadi alah bisa tegal biasa..

Sejak, my darling balik mesia..aku lihat dia semakin fatherly..ade inisiatif dgn konsistennya nak mandikan my boy pagi2..dan during dinner time, my boy lagi prefer his daddy to feed him..berkat air tangan my darling..my boy aku tgk nampak sedikit berisi..tghari tadi pon, my boy ade keinginan nak makan..walaupon sedikit..roti celur telur..
Latest weight update-bangkit pagi berat aku still menten 53kgs..

Monday, July 09, 2007

Dah beberapa hari aku tak update blog ni..

Latest update diet aku..berat aku dah menten semula ke 53kgs..dalam beberapa hari lepas aku mmg kurang makan nasi..tapi, sejak my darling balik dr mesia..aku mmg asik nak mengunyah..coke2 yg ada dalam peti sejuk, rase macam geram je aku nak teguk sume..pendekkan cerita, aku kurang ambil pusing dgn goal aku nak susutkan berat..but, kalu bule aku nak susutla ke 52kgs at least by end of this mth..aku tak pasti sama ada aku bule susut lagi atau tidak by this week..walau camne pon, aku tetap dgn routine aku buat exercise sbb konon2nya nak try fitkan badan..

Perasaan aku bile hari2 exercise? aku rase aku lebih sihat dan segar drpd sebelumnya..dalam sehari aku cube buat at least 20 sit up..cume squatting dan lunges je aku tak larat nak buat lama2..bisa gigil kepala lutut den...

Update ttg anak2 aku..my boy sejak dah masuk 4 years plus aku tgk perangai dia makin matured..kalu duduk di rumah, dia tak byk nak kacau aku buat kerja..dia sibuk dgn aktiviti dia sendiri..dah kurang bermasalah kalu nak pergi sekolah melainkan suke menangis pagi2 mungkin protes sbb kene bangkit pagi..utk my girl plak, semakin hari semakin lasak dan semakin ligat..aku tak nafikan, my girl ni lagi aktif berbanding abgnya dulu..kkdg geram jugak aku..aktiviti terbaru my girl, suke memanjat kerusi..my girl ni aku tgk cepat sket berfikir...kkdg tu, siap bule angkat kerusi sbb nak mencapai brg atas meja..yg ni paling aku tak larat nak layan..pasal kat atas meja tu yg biasanya ade makanan, cawan berisi air..kalu aku tak jaga2 mmg habis lencun dapur aku my girl kerjakan..selain tu, my girl semakin sensitif..tak bule kami naik suara sket..dia akan tunduk, menangis dan merajuk..arghhh pening2 lalat je mommynya dibuatnya..alhamdulillah, my boy skrg dah slow sket..paling2 pon my boy suke shouting sbb tak sabar nakkan sesuatu secepat mungkin..

Susu dah nak habis...

Susu semi-skimmed aku dah nak habis plak..mmg harus kene pi tesco sekurang2nya esok atau hari ini..bergantung kepada mood..kalu ikutkan aku malas nak keluar2..just duduk rumah diam2 dgn anak2..spjg my darling takde, ingatkan nak bawa anak2 bermain swimming pool di sini..ntah, berapa kali aku tangguhkan sbb iklim sini yg tak menentu..smlm, aku tak buat apa2 exercise juga sbb aku keletihan sgt2..ini pon, ingatnya slps ni nak menyidai baju yg ada..petang ni, dah berura2 nak masak sambal udang..so, bolehla, by the time my darling sampai..dia b/fast nasi lemak siap2..mesti aku akan terkocoh2 sedikit esok sbb by right my darling akan sampai rumah dalam pukul 8 pagi..my darling pon dah siap pesan aku dan anak2 tido di tingkat bawah supaya kalu dia sampai rumah, aku terus bule bukakan pintu..

Hari ini as usual, my boy akan menangis2 sblm ke sekolah..macam2 alasan diberi..nak tido, nak tgk tv dan nak minum susu..skrg ni aku macam dah lega sedikit..kalu dia tak sempat makan, sekurang2nya dah nak minum susu..jadi, aku tak perlu nak stress sgt2 kalu dia tak nak makan..

Pagi ni aku timbang dgn baju berat aku menten 53.5kgs..

Kawan datang..

Hari ini kawan aku dr London mai datang bermalam di rumah sehari..seronok juga berbual2 adela dekat2 11.30 malam..dr tengahari dia sampai di rumah aku..ade saje aktiviti dan makanan dan minuman yg aku hidangkan..mmg rezeki makan mewah betul kawan aku di rumah aku kali ini..Mana taknya for lunch aku servekan dia chicken wing lada hitam, tuk dinner sea bass steam dan sempat juga aku buatkan dia strawberry&banana yogurt drink tuk dia..Takpela, lagipon dia byk menolong aku, seingat aku siap poskan keropok dan booklet diet/exercise from London utk aku..jadi, apa salahnya aku berbuat baik utk dia kali ini..t/hari tadi sblm balik aku sempat bawak dia ke town..terus-terang aku admire dgn my fren ni..tabah dalam menghadapi ujian hidup, berjauhan dgn suami dan anak utk cita2 dan masa depan demi menggembirakan hati si somi..yg seronoknya, my fren ni jenis mengikuti fesyen, so adela sikit2 yg aku belajar dr dia how to dress properly..aku tahu minah ni mmg suka bergaya and beauty concious orgnya..but, pada aku bende2 ni sume tak salah, kalu apa yg kita buat ini utk kesihatan dan kesejahteraan hidup kita di masa depan..

Anyway, smlm aku tak exercise..segan dgn kawan aku..segan nak exercise beriya depan tetamu..so, smlm aku kontrol cun ajela depan tetamu..terus-terang mmg aku sibuk sket bila ade org datang..but, at least aku ada kawan utk mengisi kebosanan..

Pagi tadi aku timbang, to my suprise..aku dah susut ke 53kgs..aku tataula sampai bile dia bule menten..tapi sasaran aku kalu bule nak 50kgs..bila dah capai 50kgs..aku still kene mentenkan exercise to see any different from exercise tuk fitkan bdn aku yg dah already kembang sana sini..part yg paling mencabar..sudah pastinya tang punggung, perut dan peha yg aku masih usahakan hingga skrg..

Petang tadi, aku masak soup jenis lain..aku rase mungkin pertama kali, ala2 kuah dhal aku menjadi..kalu tidak asik ntah ape2 rase kuah dhal aku..ini pon sume by coicident aje, ntah soup aku rase dia macam kuah dhal pula..but, for today..aku mmg kantoi diet sbb for lunch aku makan McD...

My summary:-

B/fast-sebiji oren
Lunch-burger fish o fillet+fries
Dinner-Dhal soup+1 kpg roti
Snack-2 ketul plain coklat

Si my boy, bila daddynya tak ada..pandai pula sebut2 'I miss my daddy'. Hati ibu mana yg tak tersentuh..di kala dia bermain2, teringatkan daddynya pula..my girl masih macam biasa..tahu happy saje..yg aku perasan hari ini my girl dah ade 2 vocub baru..'nah&pak(campak)'. My boy ntah ape mimpi hari ini dah pandai merapu cakap

my boy:'mommy i want to marry u'
me:'where did u learn that?'-sambil ketawa besar dan my boy mula tersipu2..kemudian aku explain kat dia..'i am ur mommy, so u cant marry me'
my boy:'i want to marry u with daddy'

Hai, mana pula my boy belajar sebut kawen2 ni..agaknya kat skool belajar kawen2..hari ini dia story kat aku yg kat skool ade cat walking outside..the cat is very cute..byk juga vocub my boy skrg sejak rajin masuk skool. Tadi, sms kami bershopping, my boy siap suggest to buy my girl dolly..siap ajar aku in english sentece yg org selalu guna bila main anak patung..'dolly on bed' katanya..Tergeletik plak aku dgr dia cerita macam tu..kalu ikutkan my boy ni tidakla sgt fasih bercakap..tapi, sekurang2nya aku sbg ibu fahamla dgn bahasa my boy yg mungkin org lain tak dapat nak tangkap dan faham...Sprt biasa kalu ke town mesti aku kene pow mc D ngan my boy..selain tu, aku just shopping baju&sandal my girl. Sementara tuk my boy, aku belikan dia selipar dan topi power rangers..umur2 my boy ni mmg taksub betul dgn power rangers..but, at least my boy ni considerate juga..bile dah dapat selipar dan topi..dia dah tak mo aku belikan dia sandal clark lagi..aku beriya nak belikan sandal clark ni pon fasal tgh sale kat sini..nak siap2 beli utk bawa balik ke mesia nanti..sandal my girl yg aku dah lama2 usha tu pon dah tinggal rega £12 je dia jual..so, mmg aku tak tunggu lama2, aku sambar ajela kali ini..lagipon, my girl mmg tak de sandal lagi..

Sblm penutup, aku nak catat pasal my girl hari ini..since, aku tak de idea nak belikan mainan apa yg sesuai utk my girl..aku just berikan dia periuk kecik, mangkuk plastik, sudu dan whisker utk anak2 bermain...lagipon, aku macam dah tawar hati sket nak beli mainan lagi pasal dah berlambak2 mainan budak kat rumah ni...yg pasti sblm aku balik mesia, kalu bule aku nak belikan mainan kitchen utk anak2 aku..

Timbang lagi..

Malam tadi kami anak beranak tidur kat tingkat bawah..malas nak tido tingkat atas..nampaknya lagi my darling takde..lagi lewat plak kami tido..my boy pon macam biasa sama ada daddynya atau tak de tetap akan menangis pagi2 sblm ke sekolah..mmg kene byk2 bersabarla aku gamaknya..

Pagi tadi, slps aku kuar toilet..aku timbang berat aku confirm dah jadik 54kgs..petang tadi after kuar town pas aku mandi, aku timbang berat aku semula..pon tetap 54kgs..perut pon rasanya macam susut sket..alhamdulillah berkat jaga makan dan buat exercise sket2..dan aku perasan since smlm, kalu aku makan jamu nona roguy before eating, kesannya lebih baik dr after makan..

Menu aku hari ini:-

B/fast-cereal+semi-skimmed milk
Snack-pistachio
Lunch-Nasi beriyani+ayam tandoori
Snack-mc d fries&1/2 cup grande MF
Dinner-sekeping roti+soup sayur2an

Skrg dah pukul 9.17 malam..rasa macam berkeroncong semula perut aku ni..tapi kene ingat pesan Mai, buat aje tak layan..lagi dia berkeriuk2, resultnya esok lagi akan rasa jadik lebih kempis..ari ni aku masih lagi tak wat exercise..mungkin lewat sket baru aku buatla nanti since aku dinner agak lewat tadi dalam pukul 8 malam begitu..

Hari ini baru hari pertama my darling tak de..memang agak membosankan..sunyi pon iye..tapi, nampaknya aku jadik lebih emosi kalu anak2 buat nakal..my boy tadi aku ajak dia pi town..bule tahan meragam sampai nak membuang air 2 kali..memang buat aku jadik geram..kemudian malam harinya, nak main bende2 tak patut..

Anak2 skrg masih tak tido lagi..my girl baru saje sebut2 nama 'bapak'..tadi pagi sampai ke petang dan skrg, my boy merengek2 tanyakan his daddy..my boy..my boy..bile daddynya di depan mata, tak de plak dia nak hairan..ni daddynya balik mesia tahu plak dia nak tertanya2..for me, bukan maksudnya my boy nangis2 bila my darling mandikan dia sblm pi sekolah tu maksudnya my boy tak sukakan my darling..it just trick saje my boy saje nak buat hiruk pikuk pagi2 sblm ke sekolah...sbb hari ini plak dia kasik alasan tak nak mandi coz nakkan his daddy..macam2 saje alasan my boy..kalu ikutkan kat sini mmgla cuaca sejuk..tapi aku tak bule nak kasik chance sgt kat my boy..otherwise, kalu tak mandi dia akan lebih rasa mengantuk..

Kat town tadi, aku beli baju pjs size 10..alhamdulillah aku dah bule muat size 10..in fact formal trousers pon aku beli size 10..saje beli yg kecik sket..bagi aku motivasi utk terus menten tak membesar..

My weight loss update..Part I

Alhamdulillah, syukur ke hadrat ilahi..pagi ni aku timbang berat..aku dah susut ke 54-54.5kgs..kirenya dah mencapai sasaran aim I. Hopefully by 2 weeks aku dapat mencapai sasaran aim II..turun kepada 52kgs..Kalu ikutkan smlm aku dah habis mandum fasal aku dok exercise baru 3 ari..tapi badan aku tak tonned2..apa da aku ni..baru 3 hari exercise dah expect gorgeous result..Rase stress pon ade tambah2 bile ngk body beach org yg cantik2..dok kenang2 bila aku nak have flut tummy and thigh cam dorang..

tapi, yg aku perasan smlm aku bule buat 50xfront sit up..cume side sit up aku tak larat nak wat banyak2 takat ni leh wat 20 aje...bile aku baca dan baca..aku nye masalah ni more at certain area...so, mmg kene wat exercise firming...smlm aku try wat squatting..mmg bercinta abih..sakit mak ai..

hish, nak cantik kene seksa2 camnika??? kalu ikutkan rasa malas aku..lantak pila nak layan exercise2 ni sume sbb sume ni hanya memenatkan dan menyakitkan badan..tapi oleh kerana, aku dah teringin sgt nak kasik muat pants ralph lauren yg aku tgk cantik gile tu..aku cube jela buat yg terbaik nak kasik pants tu muat..dapat muat sekali seumur hidup lepas aku kuar mrsm pon jadikla..adeiii punyala teringinnya dia...

bab makan plak, skrg aku cume mengamalkan b/fast cereal setiap bagi dan hanya makan buah in between meals..aku seboleh mungkin nak elak crisp, coklat dan sbgnya..tapi smlm peti ais umah aku dah full ngan coke my darling punye plus jajan-crisp and coklat 2 papan..smlm sebenarnya aku cheating makan..sbb dah tergoda makan crisp anak aku, dark coklat, coke somi aku sket dan kacang pistachio..mmm nasib baik timbang pagi ni berat aku susut..kalu tak..arghhh sure aku lagi tensen...

hari ini, my darling akan bertolak ke mesia for urusan peribadi..i'm gonna miss u like crazy darling! sure bosan gile duduk umah sendiri2 walaupon dgn anak2 bila my big teddy takde..am sure, my darling enjoy himself kat mesia dgn food indulgence dan jumpa kawan2 dsb..Mungkin bila my darling takde aku leh concentrate and more focus ngan keje2 aku dan diet aku..aku mmg dah siap2 shopping smlm beli roti dan serba sedikit sayur2an dan buah2an..aku ingat spjg 1 week ni malam aku nak makan soup aje..aku ade jenguk macam2 resepi diet soup like tomato+carrot soup, brocolli+potato soup dan macam2 lagi..bile my darling takde..tak perlula aku nak masak berat2 sgt..lagi pon my children bukannya cerewet makan sgt2..paling2 dorang nak nasi putih, salmon, telur atau pon potatoes..Harap2 budak2 tu sume behave nicely masa daddy nggak ade..kalu idak bikin runsing mummy aje..pagi tadi as usual, my boy meragam sblm pi sekolah nangis2 nak rak..sabo ajela aku..sampai bile my boy nak berenti meragam tak menangis sblm pi sekolah aku pon tak tahu..hanya kesabaran saje kunci segalanya..kalu ikutkan rasa amarah aku..sng aje aku nak naik tangan atau nak carik rotan..beristigfar ajela jalan terbaik utk segalanya..harap2nya tuhan akan mengurniakan aku kesabaran yg tinggi dalam mengejar impian aku selama ini...

Doa aku, semoga my darling slmt pergi dan pulang..aku pon tak harap sgt my darling utk ingat kami anak beranak selalu..as life di mesia too hectic dan terlalu mengkhayalkan utk membuatkan sesiapa saje terlupa...Dr situ, mungkin kita sama2 dapat berfikir..adakah antara kita sebenar2nya saling memerlukan? atau adakah hidup itu indah tanpa pasangan kita di sisi?

Call kawan lama-diet..

Tadi aku kal Mai..kawan lama aku di univ..yg mmg aku dah kenali lama sejak dr univ seorang yg menjaga badan..makan pon dia dah mula catu u masa zaman sekolah..katenya dia wat gitu sbb masa zaman muda2nya dia berisi sampai 60kgs..actually not bad lagi dgn berat 60kgs as tinggi dia 160 cm..

So, teringat si Mai..aku pon kal dia utk mendapatkan motivasi dan sedikit tips..mula2 kal minta pendapat..dia dah gelak katenya dia skrg pon dah gemuk dan beratnya dah naik mencanak2 gara2 makan vitamin utk mencantikkan kulit..bila aku tanya berapa kgs dia skrg..dia kate dia dah 52kgs..actually 52kgs tu masih ok lagi sbb dia tu tinggi..tapi sbb peningkatannya agak drastik from 47kgs to 52kgs for sure it is really alarming...

Aku gelak besar bila dia katakan pada aku..

'ko ni nak perut padat tapi nak kurus..camne tu?'

hahah betul pon..kalu ikutkan aku ni susah nak kontrol nafsu..tapi dia ade sharela camne nak kontrol nafsu..yg aku respek mmg dia kuat smgt..malam pon cume makan nestum atau pon oat atau ratah lauk aje..nangis u i dgr..tapi worth itla dgn tahan nafsu badan dia still menten sampai skrg..

kemudian kami berborak pasal, perut yg cepat buncit terutama bagi ibu2 yg telah beranak dua..sbb yela perut kita makin mengembang disebabkan oleh dah dua org baby membesar dalam tu..makanya kalu makan terlebih je mesti dia akan cepat memboyak...mai suggest kalu bule elakkan ais..sbb dia kate ais tu buatkan rahim kita kembang dan buncit..

mmm bilala aku nak mengikuti smgt si mai ni..anyway, perkembangan terbaru..berat aky dah menten ke 55kgs..kalu ikut diet rosemary conley tu..mmg dalam sebulan..simply je leh susut 6kgs..cume aku ni takdela kuat smgt mana nak berdiet sakan gitu..

skrg baru aku realize..takde org yg bule makan main bedal tapi berat menten tanpa exercise..sume pon kene makan berpada dan kene ikut cara sihat dgn bersenam ataupon jaga makan..makan apa2 bule tapi dgn kuantiti yg sedikit..aku rasa kalu ikut cara aku berpantang slps masa melahirkan alyssa dulu..mungkin sng aje berat aku nak turun..cume aku tak mudah nak mengorbankan nafsu makan aku..

Back in track..

Setelah beberapa minggu my time table chaos..i started to get back in track..preparing meals for my darling for his lunch and b/fast, wake up as early as i can..aku rase life is more organized when my boy start schooling again.

Cume yg aku lil bit dissapointed..my weight has increased to 56kgs..now am trying to sort it out again by doing some necessary dieting plus exercising..tapi biasala keinginan nak kurus tu mmg ade..but, implementation tu yg very very slow...mungkin i have to start serious dieting from now on and write the meals that i have taken for whole days as before to monitor my progress..

Aim I: 56 to 54
Aim II: 54 to 52
Aim III: 52 to 50
Aim IV: 50 to 48

Paling2 pon mungkin aku bule capai aim II. Kalu aku serious to sacrifice my high apetite towars food..most probably aku bule capai aim II dalam masa sebulan..cume, aku ni biasa hangat2 tahi kucing aje bile talking about my weight control..last week we went to Factory outlet..mmg ade a few trousers of Ralph Lauren yg aku berkenan dalam saiz 27-29..Siksa gile nak kasik muat bile menery yg membuatkan aku betul2 upset..tapi macam lawak pulak aku ni..sblm2 ni pon mana aku muat nak pakai saiz2 tu..yg aku gatal2 pi menery dgn badan tgh dipam2 ni sapa yg suruh? wakakakakak...adekalanya macam bermasalah nak beli designer trousers kat sini utk aku..since aku rendah..trousers yg sesuai sume yg berpinggang kecil 27-28..kalu tak mmg labuh habis labuh seluar yg aku beli tu nanti..sampai nak pakai pon kurang ade feel dan mood..

Anak2..

My boy
Smlm aku berbaring2an bersama my boy and my girl selepas penat keletihan makan udang, sotong dan ayam bakar di rumah bbq kawan di sini..Sambil berbaring2, aku berborak2 dgn my boy..i told him that i was very impressed he could look after well his baby sister in front of me for the first time..again i complimented him with several hug and kisses..and i could see how happy he was when i was giving him xtra attention...as time past by, my boy getting matured..smlm he refused bila aku usik2 to hug him tight sms dia nak tido..when he refused, baru aku dapat rasakan..how sorry i was bile last time aku marah2 dia asik nak berangkul2 dgn aku walaupon dah besar..kemudian aku teringat kata2 kawan aku..

'anak2 semakin membesar..semakin jauh..mase dorang kecikla kita patut amik peluang to hug and kiss them..coz as they grew older, kita nak kiss and hug dorang especially in front of their friends pon dia tak mahu'

aku skdr mengangguk2 dan tersenyum..fyi, my fren sudah punya dua org anak lelaki yg semakin membesar dan yg tua berusia 9-10 tahun..my boy nampaknya dah bule settle tidur sendiri dgn syarat aku perlu berada di sisinya..dan jarang berjaga malam dan tidak terlalu menangis meroyan kalu terbangkit malam..paling2 pon dia bangkit skdr nak minum air sbb haus katanya..tapi yg aku perasan sblm tidur mesti dia asked for susu..skrg nampaknya my boy dah pandai setiap kali ke toilet he will ask for daddy..sbb mungkin dah faham yg dia skrg dah berat dan mommy tak larat nak angkat2 my boy sgt..selain tu my boy dah bule diharap kalu diminta bantuan..tapi biasalakan budak2 ni mmg ikut mood diala..yg paling best, bila tiba2 my boy terajin nak angkut vacuum dan vacuum lantai..walau my boy vacuum ala2 budak kecil..sekurang2nya bila my boy dah angkut vaccum ke ruang tamu, mahu tak mahu aku pon terpaksa sekali alang2 sambung vacuum lantai ruang tamu..

smlm sempat juga kami bercerita ttg nose..kate my boy, nose has dark holes like tunnel..aku tergelak besar..bule tahan imaginasi my boy tentang lubang hidung manusia yg katenya sebesar tunnel..

my girl

dah semakin berisi sedikit skrg..agak beriya makan..yg aku geram kkdg, bukan stkt si abg dah jadi tukang sepah..termasuk my girl pon ikut sekali..sbb skrg my girl tanpa tak bersalahnya makan di ruang tamu..dan sambil makan dan jalan2..makanannya jatuh2..nampaknya kenala aku berkuat-kuasa undang2 dgn semua org..tak terkecuali juga dgn si kecil ni..

sudah bule diharap nak main di ruang tamu bersama abgnya atau sorang2..dah tak menjerit takut kehilangan mommynya lagi...sudah pandai menghulur kakinya kalu nak dipakaikan seluar..sudah pandai naik turun kerusi..yg paling kelakar, dia dah pandai panjat kerusi komputer aku dah berlagak sprt bermain komputer sambil tekan keyboard komputer..smlm di rumah kawan, bukan main suka my girl berjalan2 di taman nan luas..kalu bule semua tpt dia nak jelajah..pantang nampak tangga dia nak panjat..ade sekali tu ntah pelosok2 mana dia pergi..nasib baik tak masuk dalam kolam ikan..kkdg aku fikir2 alang2 nak anak kecik..biar terus aje produksi byk2 dan kendiannya tutup kilang..takdela terasa letih sgt nak bangun malam dan train bebudak ni...

skrg ni pantang pintu terbuka, pasti my girl nak keluar dr rumah..unfortunately, taman kami di belakang rumah bercerun sket...kalu tidak mesti aku tak kisah mereka bermain2..

Diet story..

Sejak dua menjak aku rajin memasak..dr minggu kelmarin aku memasak chicken chop, mee rebus dan kek coklat..sambung minggu ni makan sedap2 plak kat rumah kengkawan during bbq..kalu ikutkan smlm ntah berapa ucuk udang dan sotong aku telan..makan tak hengat punya..dan ni ari macam teringin plak nak masak udang goreng tepung yg my darling beli last week..sungguh menikam kalbu..natijahnya..berat aku dan my darling naik mendadak..masing2 perut ke depan..heheheh..aku saje dah bertambah berat ke 55-57kgs..arghhh drastik sungguh kenaikannya..kena jaga makanla kot gamaknya...di rumah plak byk sgt bekalan makanan yg manis2..macam coklat dan crisp..mungkin lepas ni aku kene serius berdiet..dan jaga pemakanan..hari ini nampaknya perut aku seakan susut..kewllll...mungkin ada harapan nak shed away lebihan berat ni..aku aim 51-52kgs pon jadila..
