Afnan, ibu miss u a lot! really...a lot!!!

haikal: dulu dan kini...

Haikal nak dukung!

budak ini kan, manyak manyak dia punya karenah.bila nak susu, nangisnya lain. bila ngantuk, suaranya lain. bile nak dukung, pon lain. mula2 dulu, masa sebelum dapat haikal, selalu wonder ape bezanya nangis antara lapar/ngantuk/wet or soiled nappy/or ngade2 nak dukung. tapi bile dah ada anak sendiri, barulah paham. hehe. kreatif kan kanak2 kecil ni, pandai buat suara berbeza. macam kitalah, kalau nak sesuatu dari suami, terus bertukar suara jadi merdu, memujuk dgn suara mendayu2 supaya dapat apa yg dihajati...hehe..budak2 pon macam tu jugak. kan haikal kan? *wink*

My P licence

got my P licence today. i'm happy, at last, it's in my hand. Syukran Ya Allah.

First solid foods yet?

*thinking of giving Haikal his first solid food. but so far, he does not manifest any interest in food yet. we tried letting him taste various fruits- jambu, watermelon etc, but he does make face everytime he felt something strange in his mouth. he has no problem with breatsmilk so far, does not seems hungry even after hours we last fed him.so, we gather that we will wait till he shows that he is hungry for other than milk before we start giving him solid food. but this article below does answer lots of my questions*

You may be beginning to get nudges from eager grandmas or friends with older children to start introducing solids. Some doctors still recommend solids for 4-month-olds, but many currently advise waiting until the 6-month mark. Until you start the transition, all of your baby's nutritional needs are met through breast milk or formula. Somewhere in the 4- to 6-month range, his digestive system will finally be ready to accept solids as another element of his diet.
Every baby shows readiness on a different timetable. Some signs to look out for:


• Wants more than milk alone and still seems hungry even after eight to ten feedings a day.
• Starts making chewing motions and begins teething.
• Can control his head and keep it upright and steady.
• Has doubled his birth weight.

Most doctors recommend starting with rice cereal, as it's less allergenic than other foods. Begin with one feeding a day of about a tablespoon of cereal, mixed with enough breast milk or formula to make a semi-liquid. As your baby shows more interest, gradually thicken the consistency of the cereal and add another cereal feeding or two. After a couple of weeks of cereal, you can start introducing new foods at three-day intervals. This schedule allows your baby to get used to new tastes and helps you tell whether he's having an allergic reaction to any new food. Of course, your baby will still need breast milk or formula until he's a year old because solid food can't replace the vital nutrients he gets from breast milk or formula. He won't be able to tolerate cow's milk until he's 12 months old.

yeay, i passed!!

Alhamdulillah, syukur ke hadrat Ilahi akhirnya aku berjaya pass dlm test JPJ.syukur tak terhingga. sangat berterima kasih pada tester JPJ yang sgt hensem dan bertimbangrasa *wink* hehe.

kalau ikutkan, rasanya my performance that day was not the best one. i can tell u that it is the worst! seriously...nervous sgt kot. bape kali kete berhenti taknak hidup dkt traffic light. salahnya sebab angkat clutch cepat sgt, lupa nak tkn minyak. huhu...pastu agak kelam kabut. bukan 'agak', memang sgt kelam kabut pon. i was trembling the whole way through until i finished. huhu...hujan pulak sgt lebat. sangat sangat lebat. tak pernah drive dlm hujan sebelum ini. masa belajar ngan pakcik cikgu kotaraya, selalu hari cerah je. sekali mase hari test tu lah hujan turun sepanjang hari dr pagi dan sangat2 lebat. huhu...

anyhow, i got 16/20.barely enough to pass the test. thank Allah for giving me the best and considerable tester that day. he was so nice..siap ajar lagi masa bawak kete tu, keep reminding me to calm down, and tole me where to change the gear etc. thank u Allah, and thanks to him...

hari yg sama, after dpt tahu pass test JPJ, we went to KB Mall to celebrate. kami makan2 kat Pizza Hut. masa kat Pizza Hut, Haikal mencapai mangkuk soup menyebabkan sup tumpah. sibbaik mangkuk tak jatuh and pecah. memang kami kene berhati2 dgn haikal lainkali sbb tangannya sangat pantas mencapai barang2 sekarang. tarik rambut, tarik tudung tu tak usah cakap lah.

alhamdulillah, thank u Allah...thank u for granting me my wish...Alhamdulillah...

Test JPJ

did my final one hour of driving today while hubby went to JPJ nearby to renew abah's roadtax. after an hour, we met up again in Kotaraya. hubby told me what happened in JPJ. it seemes everybody is attracted to look at our little chubby haikal. today, haikal got RM1 from one pokcik whom we do not know at all. that pokcik stopped my hubby to look at haikal and gave him RM1. hehe...murah rezeki betul haikal ni. Alhamdulillah.

anyway, the second JPJ test will be held this Wednesday. hopefully, i pass this one. cant wait to have my own licence and drive car on the road!

talking about car, today we went to the Toyota Showroom in Bt 2 Jln Kuala Krai. well, we are attracted to Toyota Vios. but still,we have to see Honda Showroom as well to compare Vios with Honda cars. personally, i think Honda City is a better choice than Vios. but we'll see what hubby thinks.

anyhoo,dats all for now. nak tido..ZzzzZZZzz

Kisah Betik

Mok Yoh(nye-moyang haikal) is frequently talking and letting us know how much she desire to eat her own betik, hence the reason why she really protected her only one 'pohon betik' in front of the house. well, there is a problem with having pokok betik around here in Banggol Chantek. its the MONKEYS!!!

yes, u hear me right! its the MONKEYS who always destroy any pohon betik which ever grown here. mok said that there was no problem before to grow any pohon betik. but recently, with the increase population density and people using more space to build houses, monkeys have no place to live inside the forest, the reason why they keep bothering people here in this rubber estates.

and they like to eat the leaves of papaya tree (besides ubi).

for the past few weeks, we have been helping mok to protect the tree. before, mok used fish net to protect the leaves, but as the tree grow, there is no more space around the tree for the leaves to grow, thus mok asked us to modify the net. mok placed two long wood besides the tree to place the net.we have been working on it one whole evening, finding ways on how to stand the wood along the tree and to spread the net on top of it.

however, a few days ago, despite Mok's hardwork and effort and sweat (plus hope), the tree has been destroyed by a group of monkeys and now the tree has been left leaf'less'. mok laughed looking at the tree (and we laughed too). it has been attacked twice by those monkeys. the first attack, few leaves was saved and left behind, but they came and finished them all at the second attack. seriously, pokok itu sudah dogol!!!(will paste the picture later). hehe..

kelakar kelakar. now, mok decides to just buy betik if she wish to eat one. =)

4 months old!

Haikal is 4 months old today!!!

Alhammdulillah,alhamdulilllah,alhamdulillah...

how time flies eh! when he was born, we could carry him with one hand. but now, we need one-whole-body energy to carry him around.plus, we have to endure the backpain caused by carrying ever-active haikal. but somehow, i am glad that he is healthy so far. we really enjoy having him around. could not want more than this. having him means world for me. he is my everything...

haikal, ibu loves u sooooo much!!muahhh!

Hubby!

hubby is secretly reading my blog!!! yes hubby, i saw u.heheh
hehe..to dear hubs, happy reading. kalau 'ter'mengutuk, maafkan saya. =p

B-pumping!!!

since last week, i've been urged by dear hubby to pump breast milk for our little-and-chubby haikal. it's as a preparation for us to leave him at nursery when we start working. well. he resisted at first, but now, he's getting better at it. bravo ayah for ur persistence, and ibu (me!) for my effort. hehe...

this morning, i have pumped 2 bottles, 4oz n 3oz each. n now, while writing this blog, i am pumping another 2bottles, 4oz+ and 2.5oz. Alhamdulillah. terasa berbaloi. i'm going to build up my stock for haikal. insyaAllah, if Allah permits, i'm planning to fully breastfeed him up to 6 months (at least!). go ibu go!chaiyok! and haikal, give us ur cooperation ok! =)

new babies!

tina has safely delivered her new baby boy born on 10th november 09 at ~1pm, weighing 3.3 kg. alhamdulillah. but got news from her that baby need to be warded due to hypoxia (low o2). hopefully, he gets better soon. tak sabar acik fizah nak jumpa! (we tried to visit her in hospital yesterday, but she was discharged early that day. next time ye Qayyum =) )

and Fadlina yaacob (Na) has also delivered her cute little small baby named Umar Muaz sometime in October. we went to visit her yesterday as her baby was warded due to FTT(failure to thrive). he shrunk his weight from 2.5 kg at birth to 2.1 at 39 days old. hence, the hospitalization.alhamdulillah, umar has gained more weight now to 2.4kg yesterday.umar has also been identified to be hypothyroid, so, new medication given to correct the problem. umar, be healthy for ur ibu ayah ok. i know they must be worried thinking about their little newborn.

now, we are waiting for haikal's cousin to make his/her appearance into this world. tak sabar nak tahu gender baby. hehe...

nenek is back!!!

today, marks the day nenek(well, my mum actually,nenek to haikal) came back home after 24 days being away to sabah and sarawak.i bet she will be shocked looking at how huge haikal is now.and i actually miss lyanna, after a few days she has been sent to her babysitter. hehe. but, we could not see and collect her from airport tonight, as tokma (my MIL) is also coming back from Kuantan.so, we have to collect tokma tonight instead and see nenek tomorrow morning. i am excited!yes, indeed i am. so glad that che finally made way home. kesian kat dalia, missing her soo much. siap tgk gambar photo che and kissed it. kesian at her, but we actually laughed out loud at her action. dalia seemed very happy today,knowing that che will arrive tonight. happy!!

kelate vs N9

it is soo dissapointing watching the final match between Kelantan and Negeri Sembilan tonite. the first 20 min, N9 has already 1 goal. in the second half, the first few minutes, the scored another one, their second goal. and they got penalty, and scored their last and final goal.

and kelate??their performance was not too good tonight.so dissapointing. they keep losing their ball, passing badly from one player to another,weak defence and IndraPutra, as one of the best player in the team,was guarded all the time in that match. however, he scored our one and only goal during the last few minutes of that match.

i am soo disagree with the kelantan fans' attitude.soo embarassing la jd kelantanese tonight. not enough with bakar mercun, they threw away bottles onto the field, and also putting fire onto the seats. they even threw away bottle which hit onto the person who tried to extinguish the fire. malu weh jd ore kelate...sungguh x senonoh.

but, i think N9 deserve to win by looking at the way they play. but as a kelantanese, obviously i am dissapointed to see kalantan lose in this match. but nak wat camana, it's all in the hand of Allah. we tried our best, but He is the one who decide which team wins, which team lose. kene byk usaha lagi la next time team kelate ni. kene byk improve. penyokong pula kene byk bersabar. jgn buat perangai la weh...malu jd ore kelate!

haikal is almost 4 months old

gambar ahmad haikal yg terbaru!

in 6 days time, he will be exactly 4 months old. how fast time flies eh??just feel like yesterday he was born. now, he is already a cute chubby little boy who is very heavy to carry.hehe. am i complaining??no! i just feel happy that he has grown to become a very healthy little person. it's just that the heavier he become, the more difficult for me to carry him around.the more frequent for me to get the back ache. but the best thing with him is, i can now hug him while i sleep.seriesly, mcm peluk bantal kontot yg best! hehe...oh, i adore that kid. soo comel. ces, ibu puji anak sendiri!hehe...but he is my everything now. i love him soooo much!!!

well, haikal is becoming a new different person day by day. not different, but he keeps changing his behaviour. kalau dulu, x mintak dukung, skrg asyik nak suruh bangun dukung2 jalan around. kalau dulu, ok je kalau nyusu sambil duduk,skrg dh pandai demand nak susu sambil baring atas katil. kalau dulu, baju x basah ngan air liur, skrg asyik lencun je ngan air liur bau susu masam.hehe. kalau dulu, x pandai berdiri, skrg, kalau pegang asyik nak berdiri je. kalau dulu, senyum2 gitu2 je, skrg,kalau kene dgn gayanya, ketawa mengekek tak henti. kalau dulu, boleh minum susu ibu perah dari botol, skrg, punyalah susah nak suruh die minum dari botol. sgt2 lapar, baru die minum. tupon berjam2 baru nak minum. kalau dulu, ringan je bile dokong, skrg, berat bukan main.lenguh2 tgn ibu ni.hehe...

tapi sedangkan ibu pon berubah, apetah lagi anak ibu. lagi byk karenah haikal skrg. lagi ibu suka. anak ibu ini comel. semua tgk,pasti senyum.geram nak cubit anak ibu yg chubby nih...hehe

Kuala Terengganu

FYI, we are just back from Kuala Terengganu. actually, it was not our plan to go to KT. but since mama just knew that she had to attend the KPT held in Grand Continental Hotel in Kuala Terengganu, we decided to joined in since mama was not too confident to drive that far. we took this chance to spend some time visiting KT, as well as keeping mama company.

the journey started around 3 pm on last tuesday and we arrived there after 2 hours journey. after checked in, we got our room which was located on the 10th floor of the hotel, with a nice beach scenery can be seen from the window of our room.

the first night we spent only in our room. mama had to go for taklimat for all the assessors that night in the hotel hall. actually, mama became one of the assessors for the PTK for all the heasmasters in Kelantan who had to undergo this before they can up raise their salary and position.

the second day, as mama went for the PTK, we headed to Masjid Crystal which is located in Pulau Wan Man. it was not far away from our hotel, just a few kilometeres away.but since we were not that familiar with the place, we are soo thankful to hubby's GPS for bringing us there without makan langsat.

we went first to Taman Tamadun Islam. had to pay RM 10 each. we visited the replicas of many big and famous mosques around the world. there are 21 replicas altogether. unfortunately, we could not finish the tour as the weather not permitted. it was raining whole day that day. the climax was when it rained heavily for the last hour we were there.

the day continued with us going to Masjid crystal to perform solat zuhr and asr jama'. haikal smpat bermesra2 lagi dgn makcik pakcik cleaners kat masjid tu.

afte taking several pictures in and out of the masjid, we headed up to pasar payang. we met Mokti in one of the keropok losong stalls and together,we went to pasar payang.sempat teman mokti shopping kain before mama joined in.

that night, we only spent time in our room.kepenatan.

and on thursday morning, as early as 6am, we have already left the hotel as we mama had to catch up with the event in sek men zainab at 9am.
