Random notes

Thought of posting things tapi sangat malas so few updates dah jadik basi..

..of school holidays (yg paling basi :))

We went to Taiping for a short vacation, and off to Penang for a fren's wedding. The kids were enjoying themselves especially splashing time in the hotel's pool. And not forgetting the trip to Zoo Taiping. We skip the night safari though, sbb by the time malam, semua org dah penat.

Fun in the pool at the hotel.

A photo shoot with the phyton for the 3rd time.

The after-effect. make believe zoo at home. hehe..

.............

.. of works

am thinking of switching my job. saw the advert in the email. i like my current job, i like the environment & frens (read :comfort zone), tapi dah agak tepu & bosan dgn other dept yg susah nak cooperate. Tapi dlm dok contemplating nak apply ke tak, tengok2 dah expired la pulak job offer tu. haih..

Anyway, we'll be moving office coming next months, nearer to IKEA, hehe. boleh car pool with hubby. boleh jimat. * Haikal cakap Hagemaru dgn mak dia suka jimat*. but we'll be having few hot-desks here and there. Bos ckp boleh pilih nak keje kat mana2.. hehe..

............

.. of Husna's report card

i take a day off for her report card day, planning with babah to take the kids to watch Transformers after that, tapi babah kena cancel cuti lak sbb pi workshop. Luckily he managed to skip a few hours to join me at Husna's school. I didnt expect much from Husna, since it's her first exam. bila suruh study, dia cakap ' nak buat ape, semua tu kakak dah tau'. hmm ok.. yet to adapt to the concept of exam kot.. Anyway, kakak was doing just great , she got 5th place in her class. Ok la tu.. since i saw the difference between her and the 1st place is only 4 marks.. I think die banyak buang masa pi kaler semua gambar2 kat dalam soalan exam tu, so bila la pulak nak semak all her answers.

used to be my little girl.. not so little anymore.

.. of Humaira

Humaira now is already 4 months plus.. yet to get her 3rd injection next week. Why 3rd? because i missed her 2 months injection.. and so her 2nd was done on her 3rd months, and 3rd injection will be done on her 4th months. talk about byk saraf putus masa beranak.. excuses.. hehe.. camne tah boleh lupa. syndrome anak ramai agaknya, so dah jadik less komited. Nasib bawak pi private klinik, kalu pi klinik gomen sure kena marah dgn misi.

Humaira dah pandai mengiring sikit, but sesekali je die buat. Maybe berat so need to pull more effort. I think her weight is almost 8 kg now..

my little girl..

.............

.. of our big decision to make

we have a big plan, which also includes big $$. i pray for it to happen, and smoothly..

.. of my dekat tapi jauh big brother

my brother and his family, now in uk will be back for good after 6 years studying/working over there. yeay on behalf of my mother who will be the happiest person. double yeay for hubby's 3 pairs of clarks, but none for me :(

Milk.

These are milk for Humaira while I'm working, starting tomorrow. Not as much as Ija's, but hopefully enough for me tu fully breastfeed until she is at least 6 months old.



My little princess. Be a good girl, ye.

My fav choc cupcake.

These were baked 20 minutes ago.


Thought of sharing this recipe. Very easy. Adapted from this recipe but simplified a little bit to suit whatever ingredients I have at the moment.


INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line muffin tins with paper cups or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Make a well in the center and add the water, oil and vanilla. Stir together until well blended. Fill muffin tins 1/3 full with the batter and top with chocolate chips.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Final week..

This week will be my final week of maternity leave. Sigh.. 2 months is not enough. The new bibik was pretty much okay to handle the baby. My only worry is for Haris to adjust being without me at home, since he still refuse to be with the maid.

I am lucky that Humaira is a very easy baby to handle. Milk, sleep, diaper change, milk , sleep. Very less noise. I can still get enough sleep at night, which is good since I dont have to qada' the sleep during the day. Hehe..

Most of my days was spent browsing the internet, mostly window shopping @ebay, beside entertaining Haris and Humaira. I manage to bid few set of clothes & shoes for Humaira, shoes for Haikal, Jeans & Bag for me :D. Takleh tinggal shopping walaupun tgh pantang. Dahla dapat duit bonus & ESOS.. yeay! I even wake up in he middle of the night / subuh2 buta to bid the items.. haha.. My hubby dah get used of me bangun tgh2 mlm , and his question in the morning will always be 'menang ke bid malam tadi? hehe.. such a sport, love u !

Humaira sleeping peacefully, her clothes was bought @ebay.

My growing family, minus Haris who was sleeping.

My cheeky Haris, comot lepas ratah susu.

Nextweek : Workloads, here I come.. heh

My Humaira

Azima Humaira was born on 5/3/2009, a day after our 8th Anniversary. Our 4th bundle of joy.

Her first hour

Day 1

Day 2

1 week ++

1 month

Today, 40 hari..

Welcome to the family. We all love you!

Haris is 1 year old

Haris turned one year old on 21st May 2008. I was away to JB, and luckily managed to get flight ticket for me to depart early in the morning and be back after maghrib the same day.

I asked my sister to bake a cake, and we decorated it upon me reaching home that night. I can barely open my eyes, was so exhausted.

Nevertheless, the kids are so happy except the birthday boy. Too small to understand. Kakak & Abang, already bought presents for Haris, paid by the father, on their way back from school.

The Birthday Boy

With the presents.

Mama & Babah doakan Haris menjadi anak yg soleh, berjaya di dunia & akhirat. Happy 1st Birthday, my baby.

Alive & kicking

We're back. Spent 4 days at the land of the kangaroo, with hubby & Haris tagged along. It's autumn, cloudy day everyday.

So much things to do. So little time. But we enjoy every moment of it.
