SAJE NGOMEL

.

Tak nak tulis apa sgt pun cume rindu yang melampau pulak ngan my hubby ni.. Dah lama tak kena tinggalkan laki dah jadik tak keruan pulak.. Hmm.. manja sangat ke aku ni kalu rasa camni? Malam2 takde teman borak and gaduh la.. Nak gaduh ngan budak2 ni bukannye menang pun (at least ngan abah die skali skala menang gak) Anyway, sian jugak kat budak2 ni rindukan abahnye especially Hazyq..

.

Hishkk.. bile time2 camni rasa mcm tak tergamak pulak nak tinggalkan budak2 ni nanti dlm bulan 5 ke bulan 6 ni.. Tapi kalu tak pegi camne nak gi carik stock barang nanti.. Lagipun pegi pun demi masa depan budak2 ni jugak.. Walaupun nanti terpaksa tinggalkan dlm 4 hari tapi InsyaAllah hari2 lain dapat spend time and focus kat budak2 ni lebih dari masa skang ni..

.

Hmm.. petang2 Jumaat nak tunggu 5.30 ni boleh pulak macam2 nak dipikirkan..

SO CONFINEEEE

Mmg sesuai sangatlah perkataan pantang atau 'confinement' tu... I feel sooooo confine in this house!! Bosan amat.. sib baik hubby tinggalkan notebook die kat umah ni so boleh la online.. Tapi pantang kali ni rasa badan macam cergas sket dari dulu..ramai yg komen yg kite ni takde rupe org berpantang sbb jalan pun laju pastu renyah jer.. abis dah tak sakit sgt takkan nak jalan kemut2 atau baring tido jer..

Anyway, Hazyq lak time2 ni la mmg memerap ngan ibu die.. sume nak ibu die.. tido nak ibu die tidokan.. main ke tgk tv/vcd pun nak ibu die temankan so kali ni mmg susah nak rest macam dulu.. Adik die pulak mmg kuat nak nyusu and sambil2 tu mmg pam susu gak buat stock simpan kat fridge.. kalu anak ramai camne la pulak kan.. redha jer la and go with the flow jer..

Kali ni time pantang, amik gak confinement lady cuma not from the same agency macam dulu.. Agency dulu dah tutup (kemungkinan beso sbb masalah retain skill workers).. So masa pregnant ari tu survey2 kat internet terjumpe la website agency postnatal care ni -- Shadira Post Natal & Beauty House

My mom siang2 dah cakap die tak ingat dah camne nak jaga ibu & baby dalam pantang so tu yang terpaksa gak carik and last2 booking kat tempat ni.. My past experience with the previous agency mmg bagus sgt and very relaxing so ingatkan boleh la experience the same thing gak this time.. Hmm.. not so la..

Dulu amik confinement services ni for one month (anyway, my parents blanja masa tu so tu yang tak kisah sgt tu..heheh) Confinement lady tu buat everything from cooking breakfast, lunch & dinner pastu mandikan & massage baby, sediakan mandian herba ibu, tungku and urut ibu (urut selang sehari jer) and jaga baby & mom from 9am to 6pm.. charges die RM150 per day tapi sbb amik one month so murah sket la die bagi (dah tak ingat baper).. Mmg very excellent services die.. sampaikan bawak baby ke hospital pun die ikut skali.. puas hati sgt2.. Sayang betul tempat tu dah tutup..

Shadira ni pulak agak expensive and memandangkan bayo sendiri so amik for 10 days ajer.. itupun hampir RM1800.00.. deposit kena bayo half & settle full amount before start services (unlike agency yang dulu hanye bayo a few hundred for deposit and the rest after services completed)
Services die hampir sama dgn agency dulu except die tak sediakan breakfast, although urut hari2 tapi lepas selesaikan kerja-kerja termasuk basuh baju baby die balik dlm kul 12.30 ke 1.00pm.. Sib baikdie urut mmg best and nampak la perbezaan bentuk badan in a few days..
Kalu nak suoh rekomen, i tak rekomenkan agency tubut i will rekomen the confinement lady yang jaga i tu. die mmg buat part-time sendiri so much more cheaper than what the agency charged.. Inipun i sambung urut ngan die 7 more days.. siap buat lulur & bertangas and nanti nak buat tutup pantang skali ngan die.. facial pun die boleh buat so nanti nak try gak buat ngan die..
So far I've lost more than 15kgs from my pregnancy weight.. so much more to lose.. so mungkin sambung lagik urut kot.. hehhe

Bengong sampai ke petang..

Tak tau la ape la bengong sangat aku ari ni sampai boleh tertukar pakai contact lens laki aku..

Adehh... power die dah ler tinggi pastu tak balance.. tak pasal2 pening pastu dunia aku cerah semacam jer and nampak double..

Ni la akibatnya bangun lambat.. huhuh

Alahai... ingat tu jer yg bengong tapi ada lagi yg bengong ari ni.. Hari bengong sedunia tul!

Boleh pulak pagi tadi kul 10.15 dapat pulak sms dari Farah, pekerja kiosk aku kat Giant Kinrara tu.. Ari ni die tak dapat datang keja lak sbb nak gi checkup kat hospital.. kelam kabut call la budak kiosk seblah mintak tolong bukakkan kiosk and jaga skali.. pastu kena lak ke sana bawak kunci bukak mangga kiosk... ni la dugaan orang berniaga..

Pastu....... Tadi masa nak amik contact lens kat umah mak di Subang boleh pulak anakanda & maidku ikut atok & opah die kuar... Ape kena mengena dieorg ngan contact lens tu kan? Iye laaa dah Darlingku tu paskan contact lens tu kat maid untuk pas kat aku... masalahnya maidku ni letak contact lens tu kat baby bag Hazyq yg biasa dibawa ke mana die berada... So kena la tungguuuuuu sampai dieorg balik..

Nak tambah tensen lagik... bila sampai opis boleh pulak handle keta patah! Alarm keta org tu biul sket so org tarik la handle nak make sure terkunci pintu.. alih2 masa tarik tu terus bunyik krakkk dan patah terpelanting..

Ni baru kul 5.45 petang ni... tak tau la malam ni ape lak jadik...

Salam..

Alhamdulillah.. after much delaying and coming up with nonsense reasons not to write a blog.. here I am now writing one..

I'm not sure if I'm writing one because its supposed to be a trend or mostly because I REALLY need an outlet to express myself... Hmmmm... Facebook is becoming too overcrowded and my bosses also have their own FBs so now I have to be careful what I write there.. although sometimes I don't give a damn..

As a start here's 25 Random Things About Me
(i have been tagged at FB with this and I found that its kind of a stress reliever to write these down again)

1. I am a wife, a mother and also working in Corporate Comm while trying my hand in business
2. I am always worried that I am not a good enough mother or whether my son feel neglected by me..
3. I am an emotional person and don't do well with stress... I tend to show my stressfulness thru angry actions and loud words.. Hmm... I really need to learn to relax more and have a positive outlook in life...
4. I used to enjoy my job but now it has become unbearable because its taking a toll on my family and me time.. too many bosses to please and too many government bodies to ngampu and 'take care'..
5. However, I am also thankful for the experience my job has given me... i am now able to indepently organise events whether big or small, am quite adept at coming up with marketing & promotional strategies and are able to sharpen my interpersonal skills which i can use to further my own business..
6. I have so much respect now for housewives & work-at-home moms because they sacrificed their career and sometimes 'me' time to take care of their family... I envy them for being able to watch their children grow and maturing in front of their eyes.. to have the time to prepare meals for them.. to take them to the playground or send them to school.. ----> I dedicate this one to my SIL, Aisyah & my best friend Suriani
7. I have my own online business now and Alhamdulillah its doing quite well... who knows after this I can quit my job and just concentrate doing this... doakan ye.. ----> I have a wonderful and hardworking agent to thank for. Thanx Nora!
8. I am a shopping addict.. one day without buying anything (even something small or insignificant will do) is next to impossible but sometimes i do succeed but usually due to lack of time or the hubby is beside me.
9. My favorite sitcom of all time is 'Friends'... I have all the collection from Season 1 to Season 10.. My favorite characters are Joey and Phoebe...
10. To people who knows me this might sound unbelievable (especially to my brother and family) but i really do love and enjoy cooking and trying recipes... its just that I dont have the time and sometimes the mood.. iye laa for you to enjoy cooking you must have a good mood or the right attitude... if too tired pun mana ada mood..
11. I am a fast talker because i talk very fast.. its in the genes... both family on my parents' side have this amazing ability..hehehe... People who met me the first time might have difficulty understanding me.. some even until now..hehe
12. Besides my love for handbags, I love shoes.. I am still waiting for someone to invent the perfect shoes... It must beautiful and very comfortable for wearing long hours... can be worn for formal and casual.. the height can be adjusted according to your needs.. can change colour (and design) to match your outfit.. easy to take care and clean... bestnye kalu wujudnya shoes macam ni..
13. I love the smell of my son... very best and very calming... kalu penat2 bau and cium die bole hilang penat..
14. I love my husband very very much but sometimes he drives me crazy... at some point we are as different as night and day but not all the time... like other marriages, we do squabble and argue but i guess its good to argue and disagree as this will add spice (hopefully not fire laa) to the marriage and make it more interesting.. anyway, I won't have my hubby any other way... maybe a bit less bossy perhaps.. hehehe
15. I tend to talk loudly and at a high pitch voice especially when i'm excited or emotional... this also runs in my family... my dad's voice could wake up the dead.. heheh... BUT i often got into trouble with my hubby because to him its disrespectful to do so... (his family soft spoken unlike mine) Kadang2 mmg tak sengaja sbb terbiasa.. tak pasal2 derhaka lak kite ni... hishkk sori ye yang!
16. Most of my handbags are big and heavy becoz i cant seem to leave anything behind... too many things to bring along... i have a two zipped purse filled up to the max, compact powder & make-up bag, pastu lipstick and mini perfume.. then notebook for recording order and sales, handphone, pens, car keys, another bunch of keys, calculator, sometimes mini toiletries in case nak semayang kat mane2.. nasib baik anak tak boleh masuk beg!
17. When i sleep either at home or any place, i must have a bolster pillow (bantal peluk)... its been like that since I was small... kalu takde bantal kepala takpe asalkan boleh peluk bantal... skang ada hubby pun kena gak standby satu.. iye la.. takde la nak tido berpeluk sampai ke pagi...
18. Its been quite some time since i last purchase a new handphone... bile nak beli jer risau rosak sbb anakku ini suka main, baling, makan, gigit handphoneku... hmmm... bile la gamaknye bole tuko handphone baru...
19. When ppl see me and my hubby, they intend to assume that I'm a natural Queen Control because my bossy and loud nature... the truth is NO... although my hubby seems like a quiet man but he's very strict and when he's angry he can be scary...
20. My son seems to inherit my love for talking because he will be talking his baby talk from the moment he wakes up (even before opening his eyes) and when he close his eyes to sleep
21. Since I'm now 30, I am trying to start living healthily and be more health conscious... so need to exercise more, reduce sugar intake, reduce drinks with condense milk (there goes my much needed nescafe in the mornings), drink lots of water, take supplements & vitamins, eat more steamed and grilled food, etc...
22. I am a coffee addict... if one day without coffee, i will be cranky and will suffer from terrible headaches... weird huh? At least i have to take 2-3 cups of coffee a day... Hmmm... for health sake im trying to reduce my intake..
23. i have yet to replace my one month of fasting that I missed due to my son being borned on the 1st of Ramadhan
24. Its been so long since i last went for a holiday with family so this year my brother & I planned to arrange one.. even its local or nearby..
25. Whatever it is, I am blessed with very good friends & family... although they often drive me crazy but i really can't live without them...
