Toilet training - Part 2

Alhamdulillah dah 2 minggu dah. Nampaknya dah berjaya. Wpun bukan 100%. Wpun waktu malam masih pakai nappy lagi. Tapi OK la tu. Yang penting dia dah paham dia xleh kencing suka hati lagi. Almost every day kalau aku bawak dia kencing dia akan cakap "Don't wee wee on the bed, don't wee wee in the nappy, don't wee wee in the panties, don't wee wee on the tilam". Alhamdulillah sangat2. Kecuali dia memang malas sangat2 gi toilet or ralit sangat2 dengan toys dia baru lah terlepas kencing dalam suar.

And yang paling penting sekali, biler nak berak automatic dia akan ke toilet. Regardless dia pakai nappy or panties. Actually kalau kencing pon sama. Dia akan buka nappy/panties sendiri and terus duduk atas toilet seat. Biasanya kalau berak dia akan senyap2 je terus gi toilet sendiri, bila dah sudah dia akan jerit "Ibuuuu water pleaseeeeee" huhuhu so, kalau ibu tengah tido pon akan terjaga la sebab dia dah boleh jerit. kalau dia terkencing dalam suar dia akan tau rasa bersalah and buat2 konon2 nak brush teeth(pegi bilik air), pastu gi kencing then barulah dia akan bitau ibu sambil angkat panties, "Ibu, wet. Very busuk" :P

Yang paling best setakat ni kalau kami kuar pon dia takkan kencing dalam suar. tapi untuk pre-caution kami pakaikan pull-up pants tu so takdelah takut terkencing kan. Sebabnya dia pon belum "tamat pengajian" lagi. hehhehe


Apa pon aku bersyukur sangat digerakkan hati beli tangga yang mcm comel je mcm cantik je ni huhuhu and murah jugak masa beli tu dalam 20dolar camtu. And thanks ayahnya sebab belikan. hehhehe.. And bersyukur juga Allah gerakkan hati aku untuk toilet training sekarang. Alhamdulillah lega. Walaupun aku mengaku masa mula2 tu mmg agak susah, tapi semua parents mmg akan melalui stage ni kan? ;)


***dia = my baby Sufia :) 

Hari Asyura dan hari tasu'a

Alhamdulillah tahun ni aku berkesempatan puasa sunat hari asyura di melbourne. Bersyukur sangat. Wpun tempoh puasa lebih panjang dari biasa tp dapat lah aku habiskan jugak hihi bunyi macam budak2 ye. Hehe waktu subuh di sini skrg ni pukul 4 lebih and waktu buka pukul 8lebih. So pnjg la sikit kan ;)

Aku juga puasa pada hari yg ke9 berdasarkan pada sabda nabi: berpuasalah kamu pada hari ke 9 dan ke 10 dan jangan meniru cara yahudi.


Sempena hari asyura semalam jiran kaki hantar kacang2 ni. Sedap! Lama sgt xmkn kacang kuda. Alhamdulillah moga makin murah rezeki mereka amin...

***2 hari lepas buka pengsan hihu :p

Toilet training

Another priceless experience in my motherhood journey. Sufia has started the toilet training.  It is for real this time. It has been a week and she was nappy-free during the day but still with nappy during the night.


A really wonderful experience it is. Being able to watch her grow up and finally reach this stage, the benchmark to another stage of her life as a human.

Toilet training has been really scary to me and it took me months to finally decide that I must start the training on her as soon as possible.  There are lots of things I need to consider, all the 'gadgets' that will be needed and going to help the whole process, how am I going to face the fact that she might wee wee or poo poo on the carpet, her crankiness especially when she wants to poo poo, how she going to clean after doing the job herself at the children center. There were lotsss of thing I need to think of, seriously.

Until last week we suddenly felt like she was ready. She kept requesting for her froggy(her  toilet seat) and keep coming back and forth visiting the toilet. That made us decide that she's ready and we need to support her.

too many of tragedies happened this week. too many to be recalled. hehehhe but were all not too bad actually. With 100% support from Ince' Aren, we went through this stage of parenting together and we help each other!

Anyway, I will never forget her expression the first time she officially wee wee in the toilet. hehehhehe priceless!

***the key is patience.

Coffee

I think I've been attached to coffee too much. Yes.


I didn't realize that actually. I take coffee everyday. Sometimes more that one cup in a day. Coffee in the morning. Coffee with milk in the afternoon. And sometimes coffee again with milk and milo in the evening. So my body says I must have coffee everyday! I know it is not good to have it too much. They are all caffeine. So, some times I try to change the afternoon drink with plain water or hot tea. Its not really a bad thing as long as I already have coffee earlier, I mean in the morning or at least once a day.

Until recently, I had cough and sore throat. I can't take coffee in that condition, it will only make it worst. So, I didn't take coffee. I think it has been more that 5 or 6 days. Apparently my body response to it. I feel so tired, sleepy during the day, I could sleep on my desk just like during my school time. I need afternoon sleep everyday. And I sleep early at night. Leaving all my task and hoping I can continue the next day but it didn't happened.

And today, I feel pretty confident to take coffee again as I feel the sore throat has gone. So I did. I made a cup of good coffee with milk, and I can feel my brain suddenly feel fresher and no more sleepy eyes! Just like a miracle. O dear, now I am scared already. Am I addicted to caffeine? Please, please say no. >.<"

***another big cup of coffee for tonight.

Sambal tumis sedap

Hehe lama sungguh rasa tak tulis benda2 yang bermanfaat dalam ni. kesimpulannya late ni mmg aku ada malas sikit dah nak menulis kat blog. padahal sebenarnye banyak je boleh cerita.

Oklah mohlah aku nak citer perihal aku belajar masak sambal. Aku masak sambal ni kire lebih kurang dah 5 tahun la lamanya. Sama lama dengan tempoh kawin kitorang la..hehe tapi gamaknya dah 5 tahun ni tak penah sedap sambal aku ni. almaklumlah belajo masak sendiri hhehehhe

minggu lepas ada kawan kami transit sini sebelum diorang balik for good. kak faridah and family. jadi oleh kerana kak faridah punya sambal mmg best pada aku and ince' aren jadi aku sempatla berguru. aku tgk satu2 cemane agaknya kak faridah ni buat sambal sedap. Jadi meh aku tulis kat sini apa yang dia buat tu. aku tak citer step bahan2 membuat sambal tau. uolss sure tau punya.

[time kasih pakcik Google and tuan punye gambo hehe]
 Tips/cara2:

1. Cili kering mesti di rebus sampai lembut, buang biji basuh and blend sampai halus betul

2. Gunakan bawah merah campur dengan bawang brown sikit instead of bawang brown saja.

3. Tumbuk bawang bersama bawang putih. dah agak2 lumat baru tumbuk sikit ikan bilis. tumbuk kasar2 je. Tumbuk ye bukan blend. kak faridah kata masak shortcut rasanya kurang umphh..hehhee oleh kerana ini aku nak request lesung yang besar sikit kat ince' aren kikiki boleh? :p

4. Panaskan minyak. Minyak kena banyak. Kalau x takut lada x masak. Kalau letak minyak kurang and tambah masa tengah masak lada pon nanti sambalnya masak tak cantik warna dia. so kena bajet betol2.

5. tumis dulu bawang2 tumbuk tu sampai naik bau and masukkan cili kisar. masak dengan api sederhana sampai masakand pecah minyak. minyak tu nak kuar kaler merah cantik. kalau cium dalam kuali pon dah tak bau lada lagi sambal tu. lada dah masak baru masukkan asam jawa sikit and gula and garam kalau nak. kalau belah johor sambal biasa manis sikit(sikit je) kalau belah melaka biasa lebih masam berbanding manis.

6. masukkan air sikit dalam lesung bekas tumbuk tadi and masukkan dalam sambal kalau nak sambal cair sikit.

6. masukkan bawang hiris and ikan bilis lagi(kalau nak). balance rasa and biar bawang layu sikit and tadaaaaaa siap sudah sambal kite.hehhehe

gitu lah sikit sebanyak cara kak faridah buat sambal. banyak yang beza dengan cara aku masak. ekekke patutla ince' aren selalu komplen sambal aku rasa lada..hihihihihi


***semangat buat sambal sekarang :D
