Bottle weaning

Everything is so sudden. I decided to wean Sufia from her bottle immediately. I don't wanna wait anymore. Because it is getting worse each day. She kept requesting for milk during unnecessary periods. She has never been like this before. We always follow the right schedule. To make sure she eat enough and drink enough. It obviously weren't giving any good to her. She needs food more than milk now. But if she take to much milk, then when is she going to take the food? So, that's it!

[sesudah togel]

For a start, I cut through the bottle tits and showed it to her. She was like blurring, and she said "O dear". she didn't know what to say. Just a little bit shocked. And then after almost 5 minutes she said, "Its broken. Hmmmm. OK we go shopping, bottle and milk". She knew we can get the replacement easily from the shop! But, I try my very best to make her understand that she is a big girl and can always use the cup whenever she wants milk. "OK, put the bottle in the bin", she said.

Whats the most important now is to separate her from the bottle. Then I'll think of how to make her finish the milk from the cup.

The next schedule for her milk is around one or two hour from now. So, I'll see if she can accept the fact that she won't be using bottle anymore. Hopefully, after 3 or 4 days she will completely forget about it . Ameen. Most importantly, I am expecting a huge chaos every morning within this week! So, we have to keep calm! I have no intention to stop giving milk, milk is good if taken in correct quantity. So, milk for Sufia, but not the bottle... :)

***Poor Sufia. But there is nothing to do. She needs to grow up!Wish me luck dearies!

I love cat

Sebenarnye dalam seminggu dua ni mmg aku rasa rindu nak main kucing..huhu sebab asek nampak gambo kucing la pulak recently..tibe2 terjumpa satu video ni..hahahha kelako..tgk sendiri ek..kesian kat dia..tapi at the same time kelako jugak.. adoiii aku dapat bayang kan la dia punye takut macam aku takut lipas. huuu ada memori kot.. >.<



***adoii kesian betol huhuhu

Chocolate cake

Gara2 menengok kartun Peppa Pig hari2. anak I jadi kemaruk kat birthday cake. Hari2 mintak chocolate cake. nak tido, bangun tido, nak mandi, lepad mandi, sebelum pi school cakap nanti g shopping beli cake. aduiii...fenin mak. siap nangis2 lagi..iskkk

last2 gagahkan diri jugak omaknye membuat kek semalam. dah la barang2 buat kek semuanya mmg dah simpan. ape je lah yang ada kat dapur tu pon. kalau ada pon loyang springform and loyang 4 segi je satu.huhuhu..

terpaksa la juga cari resepi2 yang xyah putar2. yang main kacau2 je..and colouring pen yang izza kasi sebelum balik dulu pon ada lagi. so dapat la aku lukis2 sikit. kikikiki jadila kannnn..so ok x? hehehhee



Sufia's birthday cake katenye. bape banyak kali nak birthday daaa dalam setahun. dari segi rasa tu bolehlah ditelan. hahahha sebabnye measuring cup pon dah simpan juga. so pakai apa2 je cawan yang ada. jadi kurang manis la pulak kek I jadi nya. halal la tu. daripada beli kat kedai dah bape pulak sebijik kek..huhuhu ni kire xde kuar modal la ni. pakai ape bahan yang ada kat dapur je.. :D

***sarapan kek cekelat..

Meruntun jiwa

Ayah: Sufia jom sleep, ayah dah ngantuk la..
Ibu: OK, Sufia sleep ngan ayah ek..ibu nak work.(kiss anak)

Sufia: (Menangis) Nak sleep ibu... :'(
Agaknye dah biasa ibu yg tidokan.

Ibu: :(

Ibu masuk bilik and tidokan anak. Belum sempat tido ayah masuk bilik.

Ibu: OK, Sufia sleep ngan ayah tau..

Sufia: (Menangis) Ibu..

Sob3..anakku dah pandai demand nak ibu sekarang..huuuu


***Sedih la pulak...

Sufia at 3y 2m

Lama sungguh x citer panjang2 pasal progress sufia kan? dah mcm2 dah budak ni skrg..hihi..ok mari kite citer sikit.

Cakap
Dari segi bercakap, mmg dah OK lah..wpun byk sebut salah. banyak ayat tunggang tebalik, cakap merepek2, but semua ibu n ayah dah boleh paham. 90% sufia cakap dalam bahasa inggeris. ibunye pon naik heran. padahal kat rumah kami banyak cakap melayu pon ngan dia. mmg lah ada words yang gune english, tapi kalau dalam ayat tu biasanya cakap melayu je pon. nak kata pasal dia gi childcare, dia gi 3 hari je seminggu selama 4 jam sehari. tapi bila bercakap byk yang ditirunye dari childcare. kami terkejut juga, tiba2 banyak vocab dia dapat. kalau ajar words baru pon terus lekat kat kepala. and dia dah paham yang kite ni cakap dua bahasa. sebab kalau kite cakap satu benda tu in bahasa melayu, kadang die tunjuk benda tu and sebut in BM and kemudian in english pulak.

Sekarang ni mmg betol2 meriah. celik mata terus mengicau2..huuu adaaa je nak cakap. kadang cakap benda yang merepek n xreleven pon tapi dia rasa nak bercakap. so dia cakap je lah ape2. at the time being, her favorite words are "Is it?". semua benda is it..semua benda nak tanye..mih2..kadang2 mmg xlarat kot..kui3..and kadang2 rasa macam orang tua biler bercakap. sikit2 dia akan sebut "my goodness!", "oppss, sowy ibu..sowy ayah!", "oh dear!", "watch out" etc etc :P

[cuaca dah mula panas, kulit muka pon jadi elok ;) ]





Habit
Sufia ni budaknye dari kecik mmg penggeli. xboleh kotor sikit tak boleh basah sikit.. tapi makin dia dah besar dia macam dah kurang sikit penggeli nya tu. but, recently kami jadi risau pulak sebab merepek habitnye yang sekarang ni. habit yang 2-5 tu yang aku xberapa berkenan(lain2) la eh.
habit 1: masuk jari dalam hidung, tarik kuar hingus and masuk jari dalam mulut(eeewww huhu)
habit 2: mintak susu, bile lapar and lambat sikit dapat makan terus mintak susu. wpun serta merta ibu amek nasi tetap nak susu jugak..adoiii awak dah besar la sufia. mane leh susu banyak2 kali
habit 3: dulu bkn lain lg senang makan ubat kalau demam. sekarang ni kalau deman cukup susah...fuhhh..tapi bile xdemam, almost hari2 mintak ubat =.='
habit 4:kalau nak something xreti nak sabo. dia akan ulang2 cakap sampai lah benda tu dapat depan mata.
habit 5:mengada2 bukan main, nak menangis je..haishh. bukan mengangis. mengada.. =.='

Kasar
ada kasar sikit lah. maybe ikut kawan2 kat sekolah. kejap2 pukul ibu and ayah. kuat lak tu. especially kalau kite kacau dia. dia akan cakap "dont!" sambil pukul >.<

Pujian
Suka kalau kite puji2. Kalau buat apa2 mesti akan panggil ibu/ayah tengok. share kegembiraan. kalau kite puji lagi la suke.

[look at her dry skin. poor little girl ;( this photo was taken at Ikea, then same day we went to Brighton Beach]





Menolong
Kadang2 dah boleh diharap juge dah. boleh tolong ibu itu dan ini. tapi kadang2 lebih mengacau dari menolong.huhuhu

Makan
Kalau time sihat(xdemam/selsema) mmg makan banyak! asalkan tak pedas sume dia sumbat. tapi bila dia dah kenyang betol dia xkan merepek2 mintak jajan. kalau dia asek mintak biskut le roti le maksudnye lapar le tu. makan nasi xcukup. at this age, kami kasi susu pagi bangun tido and nak tido malam je. macam nak consider mansuhkan botol tak lama lagi ;)

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

itulah sikit sebanyak yang aku ingat. lain kali tulis lagi.


***udah besar ini anak...

Happy birthday to you, my soulmate! ;)

Happy 32nd birthday to my Shahrin Shah! May Allah bless you and protects you from any harms. We love you so much much! ;)


May Allah protects our little family and guide us towards the best in the world and hereafter.

***Alhamdulillah

Potty train?

I think she is ready. She has already showing the signs.


But am I ready yet?

 Lots of thing I need to prepare.
Lots of thing need to commit.
Lots of people I need to ask.

So, am I ready?

 *** phewwwwww~

Sufia and daisy

Sufia kata dia pakai daisy arini. dia mmg ckp suke pakai daisy..tp ibu je mls nk pakaikan.huhu sbb ibu jenis rimas tgk anak pakai baju ronyok2 sgt tak gosok.kalau tshirt xgosok xpe la sgt.hehe maksdnye ibu mmg mlas gosok kat sini..

dia pakai daisy arini sampaikan xnk salin.dah salin baju lain setgh jam..nk bukak pakai balik baju daisy..kikiki


ape ye baju daisy tu? baju daisy adalah dress/baju gown kalau kite biasa sebut.. hehe semua yang macam dress disebutnya daisy.. sebab doll dia yang dipegangnye (nama Upsy Daisy) tu pakai dress..hehhe maybe sufia rasa cantik kot.

hehe nilah baju hasil semalam. dah basuh and iron pon. and pakai keluar tadi. ada kawan2 ince' aren kirim perfume. so beli siap2 sebelum ship barang..sila abaikan rambutnya yang super serabai tu ye..heheh ;)

***daisy dooooooooooo~~

Baju terpakai

Tiap2 tahun(or tiap2 bertukar season) aku mesti akan pergi baby kids market. kadang xpergi juga kalau bajet langsung takde. well rasanye aku dah pernah citer pasal ni kot, dolu2..

hari ni aku pergi lagi. tak tau lah maybe yang ni yang last ke..hehe harap2 sempat pegi lagi..pada aku mmg berbaloi3 pegi market ni. wpun baju yang dijual 2nd hand. tapi puas hati sebab kalau pandai cari mmg dapat yang almost new and branded. sebenrnya bukan nak kejar brand sangat. tapi nak kejar baju yang kainnya elok. aku rasa lagi brand baju tu, kain dia lagi tahan wpun dah basuh banyak2 kali giler barulah nampak lusuhnya.

macam tadi aku limitkan spend 50dolar je. huhu tapi aku dapat 32 helai baju. saiz 4, 5 and 6..bermakna average sehelai adalah 1.50dolar(or rm4.50). range harga antara 25sen hingga 5dolar. kalau nak yang lawa2 lagi pon ada sebenrnya more than 5dolar. tapi mcam tak berbaloi la pulak kan. tgk keadaan..tempat ni kalau untuk shopaholic macam aku tapi tak berduit macam aku jugak, mmg sesuai la pi market ni. hehe



kalau tgk kat gambar tu, cantik2 kan. jeans yang biru cair tu Cotton On brand new. 3dolar. yang satu  lagi Esprit 3dolar. tshirt tu esprit juga 3dolar. pon macam baru. yang penting kain dia elok. kasut tu 5dolar.

market ni mmg antara yang aku akan rindu serindu rindunya..huhu..my happiness..tempat aku release tension..^_^

***best sengsangat

Please say it wasnt real

Another gloomy day in Melbourne. It is raining since early this morning. Seems like the nature is empathizing what had happened.

I woke up today, wishing that whatever I have talked with my friend last night were all not true. Were all just stupid mistakes that only happened in TV shows. Wishing that was not happening to one of my closest friends. Wishing that everything were just bad dreams.I woke up. Gazing at  the clock.It was ticking. And I know it was not a dream. It was all true. And I have to accept. Pretty hard to digest everything all in once. It is not my burden. But I am feeling it too.  Its all beyond whatever my friends and I think of.

I pray for her. I pray for her best. InsyaAllah she will overcome all these conjecture with ease.

*** 'Rain' please go away..

Mendidik anak


Aku share dari facebook ince' aren. ingatan untuk diri aku sendiri yang mmg asek nak baran je keje nye..haishhh...



DIDIKAN PADA ANAK YANG KITA TIDAK BUAT...

1) Jangan pukul anak dari lutut keatas

2) Jangan gunakan tangan/anggota tubuh kita utk memukul anak dengan tangan dan jangan sesekali mena
mpar anak pakai tangan kita. nanti anak jadi bertambah degil dan nakal dan tak boleh control

3) Rotan/pukul anak di telapak kakinya . Secara saintifiknya ada kaitan dengan refleksologi dan merangsang ke bahagian otak

...Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w.

“Berguraulah dengan anak kamu kala usianya satu hingga tujuh tahun. Berseronok dengan mereka, bergurau hingga naik atas belakang pun tak apa. Jika suka geletek, kejar atau usik anak asalkan hubungan rapat. Lepas tujuh hingga 14 tahun kita didik dan ajar, kalau salah pukullah dia (sebagai pengajaran)”

4) Mulakanlah hidup anak anda dengan nama panggilan yang baik. Nama panggilan yang kurang baik akan menyebabkan anak anda malu dan merasa rendah diri. (Dalam Islam sendiri nama panggilan yang baik adalah digalakkan).

5) Berikan anak anda pelukkan setiap hari (Kajian menunjukkan anak yang dipeluk setiap hari akan mempunyai kekuatan IQ yg lebih kuat daripada anak yang jarang dipeluk)

6) Pandanglah anak anda dengan pandangan kasih sayang (Pandangan ini akan membuatkan anak anda lebih yakin diri apabila berhadapan dengan persekitaran)

7) Berikan peneguhan setiap kali anak anda berbuat kebaikan (Berilah pujian, pelukkan, ciuman, hadiah ataupun sekurang-kurangnya senyuman untuk setiap kebaikan yang dilakukannya).

Janganlah mengharapkan anak anda yang belum matang itu melakukan sesuatu perbuatan baik secara berterusan, mereka hanya kanak-kanak yang sedang berkembang. Perkembangan mereka buatkan mereka ingin mengalami setiap perkaratermasuklah berbuat silap.

9) Apabila anda berhadapan dengan masalah kerja dan keluarga,pilihlah keluarga (Seorang penulis menyatakan anak-anak terus membesar. Masa itu terus berlalu dan tak akan kembali).

10) Di dalam membesarkan dan mendidik anak-anak, janganlah tuan/puan mengeluh. Keluhan akan membuatkan anak-anak merasakan diri mereka beban.

11) Dengarlah cerita anak anda, cerita itu tak akan dapat anda dengari lagi pada masa akan datang. Tunggu giliran anda untuk bercakap (Ini akan mengajar anak anda tentang giliran untuk bercakap)

12) Tenangkan anak anda setiap kali mereka memerlukannya.

13) Tunjukkan kepada anak anda bagaimana cara untuk menenangkan diri. Mereka akan menirunya.

14) Buatkan sedikit persediaan untuk anak-anak menyambut harijadinya. Sediakanlah hadiah harijadi yang unik walaupun harganya murah. Keunikan akan membuatkan anak anda belajar menghargai. (Anak2 yg dtg daripada persekitaran yang menghargai akan belajar menghargai orang lain).

15) Kemungkinan anak kita menerima pengajaran bukan pada kali pertama belajar. Mereka mungkin memerlukan kita mengajar mereka lebih daripada sekali.

16) Luangkanlah masa bersama anak anda diluar rumah, peganglah tangan anak-anak apabila anda berjalan dengan mereka. Mereka tentu akan merasa kepentingan kehadiran mereka dalam kehidupan anda suami isteri.

17) Dengarlah mimpi ngeri anak-anak anda. Mimpi ngeri mereka adalah begitu real dalam dunia mereka.

18) Hargailah permainan kesayangan anak anda. Mereka juga dalam masa yang sama akan menghargai barang-barang kesayangan anda. Elakkan daripada membuang barang kesayangan mereka walaupun sudah rosak. Mintalah kebenaran mereka sebelum berbuat demikian.

19) Janganlah membiarkan anak-anak anda tidur tanpa ciuman selamat malam,

20) Terimalah yang kadangkala anda bukanlah ibubapa yang sempurna. Ini akan mengurangkan stress menjadi ibu bapa.

21) Jangan selalu membawa bebanan kerja pejabat ke rumah. Anak-anak akan belajar bahawa kerja pejabat selalunya lebih penting daripada keluarga.

22) Anak menangis untuk melegakan keresahan mereka tetapi kadangkala cuma untuk sound effect sahaja. Bagaimanapun dengarilah mereka, dua puluh tahun dari sekarang anda pula yang akan menangis apabila rumah mula terasa sunyi. Anak-anak anda mula sibuk mendengar tangisan anak mereka sendiri.

“Anak- Anak ibarat kain putih. Ibu bapa lah yang mencorakkannya menjadi yahudi, nasrani atau majusi”

Clever little girl

Sufia has been really imaginative recently. She could makes stories out of any things she saw and she could thought of. Well yes, her vocabularies are still quite limited. She still can't make correct sentences when expressing something. But, there will always something interesting every time she speak her mind. She has been very very talkative since the past few weeks and sometimes I had to say, "Shhhh, quite please" if I were to tired to listen to her story. haha a bad mummy I am :D

so, today we just spent our time at home. did the cleaning job. the washing. and did some more packing since the date to ship our belongings has been fixed to the 1st of October. That means we only have a few weeks left, and we better hurry. I must say almost 90% has been safely packed. But we still need a few empty boxes to pack the remaining items.

Back to Sufia's story.  Just like her mouth has been actively talking recently, so do her IQ and EQ. hehe she loves to involve in everything we do. For example, if I were washing the dish, she did the same at her own playkitchen. When I cleaned the bench, she asked for her own napkin to help me wiped the door cabinets, etc. Sometimes she will say ibu tidy up room. Means that she wants to tidy up the room together with ibu. She also had noticed that I will looked differently whenever she made me sad.

So, today she's been helping her daddy(yes, sometimes she loves to say mummy and daddy instead of ayah and ibu when she's making up stories) to pack our TV. Still too early to pack the TV isn't it? But, no that is fine. I haven't watch any of the TV show recently, so why not we just pack it earlier.


[row row row your boat]
At that time, I was cooking and didn't really bother about both of them. I heard she said, "I wanna make boats". I just ignored her as she looked as happy and don't want to be disturbed by anyone. Only a few hours later, when the big boy and the little girl were having the afternoon sleep(well I didn't apparently, as I am writing this) I realized that she wasn't just talking about the boats. She really made the boats! Using the unused polystyrene from the TV box. How could she possibly imagine about boats from this 'rubbish'. She manage to relate the shape of the polystyrene thingy with the boat shape and making them into ones.

Kids are amazing. Yes, they are! They can think beyond our imagination. And I am amazed!


***Sufia my little sunshine.

The memoir

tak sangka kan..dah lebih 3tahun setengah aku kat sini. hmm to be honest banyak yang aku belajar kat sini. macam2...pasal research of course. pasal famili. pasal dunia. pasal macam2..

kalau nak di ingat2 balik, aku rasa sepanjang2 tempoh pengajian ni aku mmg sentiasa stress. wpun aku tgh bersenang2 hati kat shopping complex pon aku sentiasa stress teringatkan pasal research. sentiasa hidup dalam ketakutan. menangis toksah cakap la..kalau lah boleh kumpul agaknye dah berbaldi kot.


tapi bile difikir2 balik stress aku masa first 2 and a half years lagi teruk dari sekarang. sebabnye? sebab masa fasa pertama pengajian tu aku tak tau ape yang aku nak kerjakan kat sini. supervisor mmg serah bulat2 kat aku. die cume kata ok x ok..die cume tgk jelas xjelas ape aku nak buat tu.thats it. so, dari takde pengalaman langsung ni aku build up sikit2 knowledge. so lama2 rasa nampakla ape yang nak dibuat. and now aku rasa wpun aku rasa aku masih lg stress sebab tak tau nak selesaikan  problem tu at least aku bkn stress sebab tak tau ape masalah yang aku nak buat sbnrnye..huhu

semalam ince' aren cakap kat aku..mok, mok ingat x bape kali mok ajak abg balik? sekarang tak mau ajak dah ke? huuuu =.='

***Ya Allah mudahkanlah segalanya Ya Allah..

My new obsession

OK should I say it as obsession? heheh that might sounds a little bit too much.

just wanna tell you that I've been watching Sherlock since the past two days. And I've finished the first season. Isn't it impressive? :p Actually they were only 3 episodes in each season. A pretty short series. I watch them in the morning and before I went to bed and that's it..



I have already fallen in love with the stories and can't wait to watch the 2nd season (already in my hard disk as well hehehe) just waiting for my free time  ^_____^

***Sherlock and Watson

It is official

I think I spent too much time on Facebook recently. Really. And that really worries me. I should concentrate more on my works and cannot let myself distracted. I think FB is not my playfield anymore for my age. I should rather spend my time on my work, my research and my thesis. And do something good. Recite Quran etc.

It is official. I am going to leave FB for a while. I don't have the password anymore. I have changed it to something that I don't even know. Maybe I'll log in again later but not so soon. I'll wait until I am ready. Finish the job etc. And I am currently doing the programming again. I should focus on it, like, really really focus.

So, till we meet again on facebook. I am still here anyway. Any photos or any of my thought I will share it here. I think it is better since it will be less harmful to the audience since there aren't to many audience here. Haha.

Moving towards a better me.

***So long...

Beautiful Brighton Beach

These photos were taken at the Brighton Beach last Saturday. It was a really beautiful day indeed. A nice and warm but windy day. Truly a  beautiful day to get out and enjoy the beach with families and friends. We haven't been here for a while. I think since two years ago maybe. It was autumn day that time. Too windy and cold to stay by the beach with a small kid especially.

But this time, I was very happy with the weather as I could spent hours with Sufia, played with the sand castle, the shell castle? and collected the shells, etc. She really enjoyed it, much! Obviously she is a big girl now. Why do I say that? Because when she was smaller, she was too afraid with beaches. Probably because there were too much sands and she felt weird about it.


[you are my sunshine]

[building up the shell-castle]

[me and my other half ;) ]

Anyway this is probably the last time we went to this beach. We are running out of time. Only few months left before we leave this land for good :'( tears*

***tearstearstears...

After the storm

This is how our living hall looks like after I clean up. I wish the hall will always look like this. But, it is impossible with Sufia who is still growing up and do experiment with all her toys. And with my dearest hubby refuse to pick up his own news paper(hehe I already get used to this one. though sometimes I membebel non-stop.hehehhe and he already get used to my bebelan I think :D )

that's why sometimes I ask my friend, how do you manage to keep your household in tidy condition every single time? everything is like perfect. as if no one is living in your house. owh maybe other people actually also facing the same problem, but they manage to tidy up before friends coming for a visit. hehhehhehehhee


***lambat la sikit sebelum bersepah balik.fuhhhh
