Oh.Em.Geee!! I is very eksaited!

2012-01-31T09:38:00.000+08:00

People look at this!

And compare to what it was before.

Amazing!

Excited!

Semangat!!

You guys know how I've been complaining about the same thing since a year ago, on why my weight is not reducing any further walaupun dah diet sakan and why it has to stop at number 70 kan? Even if it fluctuates, the number will still be within the range of 70-72. Naik tidak, turun tidak. Stagnant just like that.

But not anymore now! Yeay!!

Seriously, it worth the hard work, forcing myself to stick to the same set of timetable and menu since last 3 days. Hari ini hari ke-4 and I'm happy to see this great improvement which I've been longing for since many months ago. Worth going through the hassle gulping down bottles of water, countless toilet visits, sweating hot in PB corset and bancuh-bancuh HL shakes! :)

All of these numbers were taken at the very same time; in the morning right after going to the bathroom (7.00-7.30am). Most importantly, it must be done under the same set of condition; no food and water intake yet, same clothes, same spot and same scale.

Tips: Do not place your scale on uneven floor or soft surface like carpet to avoid inaccurate reading and very likely, you will weigh heavier than what you are. :P

And why morning? My common sense is I will definitely weigh more in the evening due to foods that I have eaten and water that I have drunk throughout the day :P So as to avoid any inaccurate figure due to calories and fat that I have burnt and different set of clothes that I wore.

Owh! Owh! Owh! I can't help from feeling excited and I can see myself smiling sampai esok lusa kalau macam ni. Hehehehe!!

Bye-bye you bloody number 70! Don't care lah if I'm just 200grams lighter than last 3 days, yang penting I tau I dah burnt my fat! Ohsemmm. Semangat dan tak sabar betul nak tengok hasil selepas 30 hari nanti. ;) Hihihi...

Diari Diet ShilaShower - Ep.03

2012-01-30T21:11:00.000+08:00

Minum air.

Satu pekerjaan mudah tapi jadi yang paling susah untuk semua orang buat. Most probably jadi susah tu sebab takdak perasaan nak minum air selalu. Bila dahaga baru cari air and most often, cari air yang ada rasa-rasa. Kalau dapat ayaq ais, lagi indahnya doniaaa begitu.

I was like that before. Tapi sebetulnya I bukan jenis orang yang susah nak minum air and I ok jer untuk minum plain water bagai ni. In fact masa belajar dulu setiap hari I akan beli 2 bottles of Spritzer 1.5L and make sure habis by night time, sebab kata nak bagi cerdik belajar, mesti kena cukup air. Hahahah! Tapi sekarang kenapa entah, bila dekat office tu, time tumbler dah kosong punyalah malas nak jalan pi kat tong air and refill water bottle tu kan. So yes, keyword di situ ialah MALAS.

Even now, the chances of being malas tu I rasa masih ada, lagi-lagi bila kerja dalam environment duduk-depan-desktop 9 to 6, jadi kenalah tukar strategi selepas ini. And this is how I made it sejak 3 hari lepas, to make sure my water intake cukup 4L.

Pagi-pagi, first thing first, before buat shake, fill in dulu semua water bottles ini and pastikan by bedtime, semua botol-botol ini dah kosong. :P Tak kisah lah sekali minum tu nak tonggang berapa banyak, tak kisah lah berapa kali kena ulang minum pun, janji by end of the day, air semua habis :)

But for now, botol klasik cap Herbalife ni lah paling faveret sekali. My drinking cycle will be based on every 400ml water dalam bottle putih ini. ;) Sekali fill in mesti 400ml, either plain water or tea mix, tapi 400ml lah, and that makes my total cycle minum air ialah 10! 4L = 4000ml bahagi 400ml = 10 kali refill HL bottle.

Kalau anda gigih, boleh la cuba macam ini. Kalau tak gigih, sila cari alternatif lain. Yang penting air kena minum cukup. Macam I ni banyak lah nak kena minum, dah fat percentage pun tinggi up up in the sky gitu. Hihihihi....

Monday - 30/01/2012

Breakfast: HL Vanilla Shake + Oat (400ml soya + 3tbsp HL + 1tbsp crunchy oat)

Lunch: Nandos 1/4 Chicken with Peri Corn & Grilled Veggies (tapi jagung tak makan pun, hihi)

Dinner: HL Cappuccino Shake (400ml soya + 3tbsp HL)

Total plain water: 1.55L (200ml + 500ml + 500ml + 350ml)

Total tea mix: 2.6L (400ml + 500ml + 500ml + 400ml + 400ml + 400ml)

I finally found the perfect sandal for Aiman Haris.

Perfect shoes perfect price. Just within the range that I'm willing to spend for his 10th sandal; RM34.90. I said 10th because we've been buying him shoes and sandals ever since he started walking but every pair of it will only last for 2 months max! All due to his wide chubby feet that grow so fast and I can't barely keep up. I was thinking to buy him that RM10 cap-ayam-crocs lookalike shoes, but considering the nil safety value, tak apa lah, kita spend lebih sikit with maximum cap RM35.

Can you imagine my 17 mos young baby is wearing size 8? (for kids). Abang Adam pun baru 7 je. Kaki apakah ini? Only Stride Ride has selection of shoes that can fit his chunker feet perfectly, but buying Stride Ride on every 2 months?? Memang tak lah kannnnnnnnn....

And in our case, it's not a hand-me-down situation from elder brother to baby brother but it happens the other way round. Adik hand down barang dekat Abang. -______-"

Diari Diet ShilaShower - Ep.02

2012-01-29T22:13:00.000+08:00

Ok, untuk next 30 days, insyaallah I akan cuba update Diari Diet ini hari-hari. Paling sikit pun mesti nak share tentang menu harian, so nanti after 30 days I boleh analyze apa yang patut dan tak patut di makan. Cuma hari ini ada unsur-unsur terbabas sikit sebab aktiviti makan-makan. Tapi sikit jer lah, nothing to worry about. Esok lusa kita net off sikit meal lunch. :P

I sekarang dalam cabaran kurus 30 hari. Hari-hari mesti mau sarung PB minimum 8 jam sehari and hari-hari mesti minum 3-4L water and meals on basis 2HL shakes + 1 lunch. So far untuk 2 hari ni ok lagi. Masih patuh pada timetable arahan. Hihihi....

Tapi guna PB and minum air berbotol, memang hazabedah lah kan. First I'm sweating macam lepas buat kerja berat and second, toilet trip has never been easy since then. Tapi bertabahlah, nak tengok jugak, ajaib tak korset ini as it claimed to be and nak tengok amazing ker tidak nutrition dalam shake tu kan. Hihihihi...So I follow rules depa and I nak tunggu hasilnya. :P

Akhir kata, below is my menu for today.

Sunday - 29/01/2012

Breakfast: HL Cappuccino Shake (400ml low fat milk + 1pc banana)

Brunch: 4 Tbsp Nasi Goreng Biasa

Lunch: 5 Tbsp Nasi Beriyani Egg

Tea Time: BBQ (small bowl of mushroom soup, 1 bun, 2 sate, 1 slice of rainbow cake, 1 Nandos Peri Corn)

Dinner: HL Vanilla Shake (400ml low fat milk + 3pcs strawberries)

Total plain water: 1.55L (300ml + 400ml + 100ml + 750ml)

Total tea mix: 1.6L (400ml + 400ml + 400ml + 400ml)

To sum up, countless of toilet visit! :P

Diari Diet ShilaShower - Ep.01

2012-01-28T13:37:00.001+08:00

Please be warned this one long entry. :) Baca dengan minda terbuka. And please read my disclaimer below. PLEASE.

How should I start eyh?

Ok. Hari ini makcik ShilaShower yang emo-goddess dengan issue badan-tak-kurus-kurus have decided to open a new column titled "Diari Diet ShilaShower". Yes, I am getting serious about this. I am 28 and soon to be 29 in April but my metabolism rate equal to someone age 46! Ya Allah rasa nak terjun lombong tau dak? Nampak kurus ye? Ok fine, yes, I am happy with my body shape BUT the fat around my stomach (after being pregnant to Haris Bersaudara) Masyaallah, is so out of style!

And the fact that we are planning to get another baby in 2013 and that time umur pun dah 30 *InsyaAllah jika dipanjangkan umur* (well you may think 2013 is far ahead) but if I don't do anything about it now, weight issue will be a lifelong problem to me then. Mungkin tahap metabolism dah jadi 56 kot! Just so you know, my last pregnancy weight for both Haris Bersaudara was 95KG! No kidding, I am serious. And you can see how yo-yo my weight is; 60-95-68-95-70 now. Ok, 70-73kg, depending on what I gobbled down my stomach dalam masa-masa tertentu, hehehe :P

I dah diet, pangkah all those unhealthy foods BUT I just couldn't help myself from not eating chocolates. And coffee. -_______-" Tak makan nasik? Tak makan gulai, kari-kari? Tak makan cheese? Semua takdak hal. Tapi memang banyak hal kalau tak makan chocolates. Haha! Water consumption? On average dalam 1L per day sahaja lah (after stopping breastfeeding) and alhamdulillah, ada kawan datang bagi I cuba SIY. Read here. Was very happy to lose another 2kg that time but my flabby tummy is still beyond help. And the number, why does it has to stop at 70??? Cuba lah jadi 69 kan? barulah best, unfortunately tak jadi pun. Hampehhh.

It's even more stressful that I am no longer a "horse" but one big enormous elephant in the eyes of Adam Haris. *kesian, dengan anak sendiri pun nak sentap, hahaha! buat camna, anak I jujur sangat berkata-kata* Read here.

So I told my husband, I need to do something. Bukan main-main, bukan cobaan, ini betul-betul. I asked him for the budget. Haha! Because Ustaz Facebook said, "Suami kena bagi nafkah makan dekat isteri 2 kali sehari. Kalau dia spesis makan nasi, wajib bagi nasi, kalau spesis makan cikedis, kena bagi cikedis", so yeah, sekarang saya spesis diet and I'm asking for my meal-replacement budget for breakfast and dinner. Hekhekhekhek! And for all I know, he has been supportive as always *I love you deep deep!*

Herbalife it is. Kenapa HL? Entah. Sebab I tengok my nephew kurus from 109kg macam tu to 88kg now and it's amazing that he made it in 3 months yo! Tapi memang gigihlah dia minum air and ikut rules diet tu kan. So yes, I yakin Geng Cik Puteh boleh! Puteh tu nama my late grandma :) Plus, HL macam femes jer sekarang, hikhikhik....

And agaknya rezeki menjadi ShilaShower lah kot, I mendapat offer untuk memakai Premium Beautiful. Pucuk dicita ulam mendatang. And how I got that? Biarlah rahsia. ;) I'm a PB wearer now and bukan size paling besar lagi of course. PB lama dulu boleh simpan dalam sejarah, hehe...Harap dapat membetulkan alignment perut selepas ini, hilangkan selulit apa yang patut semua, stretchmarks not that critical tapi harap hilang jugalah. I guess most of you already knew, or just in case if you don't; I used to wear PB few years back, after a while I pun mengurus and that set is no longer in my best size. Maksudnya, I've experienced the wonderful side of it and I'm happy to go through it again now. Jadi, tunggu dan lihat efeknya nanti. Hehehe.

With that, from now on, akan bermulalah siri penjelajahan mencari ideal weight ShilaShower. Ok, I think ideal weight yang health centre tu kira macam diluar capaian akal kot. 56-59kg. Sekian terima kasih. That was my weight masa anak dara muda remaja di MMU and I was real skinny back then. Kalau tak kurus melidi, tidaklah mereka memanggilku "tiang elektrik". So 65 is my desire weight. Just nice orang putih kata. Hahaha! Harap boleh capai misi itu.

Here I am, memulakan catatan pertama diari diet. I tell you ah, diet is never an easy thing. Sufferlah kau macam-macam tapi oklah dari nak buat liposuction bagaikan. Silap haribulan, tersadai dalam hospital and I am not that desperate, jadi jangan risau :P Akan tetapi, wearing PB and drinking 3L of water, cabarannya amat tinggi. Every single hour nak ziarah toilet, and every time tu jugak you have to bukak pasang your girdle. Tapi tak kisahlah, demi kesihatan sejagat, kita redah jer semua. Beauty is pain tak begitu?

#Falsampah from my cousin, "Beauty is Pain. I'm in Pain. I am Beautiful" Hahaha!

Last but not least, here my menu for today. Siapa nak join sesi kurus sila angkat tangan. :P

Saturday - 28/01/2012

Breakfast: Crunchy oats & low fat milk

Snack: 2pcs Quaker oats cookies

Lunch: Nasi separuh + taugeh + tempe + daging dendeng

Dinner: HL Shake (400ml low fat milk) + 3pcs strawberries

Total plain water: 1.5L

Total tea mix: 1.6L (400ml x 4 times)

Ok tak menu I hari ini? I so far ok jer, masih boleh tawaf One Utama in PB and bottle Herbalife di tangan. Sebab nak completekan dosage tea mix tu kan. Kuikuikui....

Okies, till we meet in my next Diari Diet, tataaaa!!

DISCLAIMER:

[1] Review on Premium Beautiful and Herbalife will solely be on the products itself. Takde kena mengena hidup dengan mati business itu sendiri. I know many of you tak suka MLM and so I am. But as far as I'm concern, the products are doing wonders on me, sebab itu I pakai. Tak suka business, tak payah buat business. Tapi I suka barang, so I guna jer lah barang. So again, review hanyalah semata-mata tentang product, apa yang berlaku dalam business depa, I tak ambil pusing. Itu ikut suka hangpa lah. Ngehngehngeh...

I bukan ahli untuk mana-mana syarikat pun, not PB nor HL. I tak register member, I cuma guna barang. Tiada kepentingan wang ringgit di situ. If hasilnya nanti I suka, I tulis suka, kalau I tak suka, ada yang tak berkenan, I akan tulis yang sebetulnya. Auditor cakap TRUE and FAIR VIEW. Hehehe...I kan bekas kuli Ernst & Young.

[3] For PB, kalau nak tahu lebih lanjut boleh contact:

Jaja - 0123507136 - jajamohdhalimi@yahoo.com

I'm happy to deal with her. Not even once she mentioned suruh masuk business ker apa, cerita how to tambah pendapatan what the heck whatsoever as her only topic to me is PB semata. The best part, kalau you teringin sangat nak guna PB tapi takmau guna credit card, takmau buat loan (sebab interest freaking high), yes, kamu boleh buat MONTHLY INSTALLMENT dengan Jaja. She accepts that. Pandai2 lah kamu orang deal dengan dia nanti :P

Gula Tambahan? Tiada Kompromi~!

2012-01-28T00:38:00.000+08:00

Advertorial. Scroll down for latest updates :)

Yeah, added sugars, just again and again, I know. But if only we can "materialize" the empty calories that added sugars have, we’d surely understand how harmful too much of this added substance can be to our health and lifestyle. Unfortunately, nope. However, this is just something to keep in mind - too much added sugar is never good stuff, not to us adults and even more no! no! to our kids. So, totally no compromise when it comes to children's healthy diet!

And talking about healthy diet, milk has long been a staple of many children's diet. So when people start mentioning added-sugars-in-children's-growing-up-milk and later it became a highly discussed issue in parenting community, I just couldn't close one eye and do nothing about it.

Of course it hits me too especially when thinking about Aiman; my little milk monster who easily consumes 10 boxes of his milk every month (1 box can only last 3 days). Seriously, I don't feel like calculating how much added sugars that he has gobbled down since the first day he consumed it, because I bet the result must be terrifying! Adam on the other hand is a soya boy, well, eczema - lactose intolerant, so nothing much I can do about him.

Due to that, parents start scanning for added sugars info on their children's growing up milk nutritional label and from what I can see, many of them have made a smart choice in switching their kids growing up milk. From the former brand to the only one that contains absolutely no added sugars but is still loaded with many other advanced nutrients such as Gangliosides and DHA; Anmum Essential. =)

But of course the switching mode doesn't always happen nicely and easily, and most often our kids will show some rejections towards the new taste. So it is very important for us to switch their GUM gradually to make the transition smoother and let them adapt and settle to it slowly.

In my case, this is definitely not an overnight thing and it takes quite a lot of trial to make Aiman acquires to the new taste. The fact that makan-minum is something that Aiman do best, I can't simply goreng his taste buds and expecting him to accept it immediately. Status? Still in progress, not 100% completed yet but everything is on the positive side.

Tips? The best time to try is during his first milk in the morning and just before bedtime at night. Masa tu, bagi apa pun minum :P

Last but not least, take a look at these two print ads from The Star, about what the two smart mommies have got to say on choosing Anmum Essential. I guess most of us are sharing the same concern kan?

Want to know more on what others been discussion about, head on to Anmum’s Facebook forum here J

Kids Say the JUJUR Things

2012-01-27T15:19:00.001+08:00

As a mom, teaching my kids about positive values and practicing good morals and manners are the things that I considered a MUST. It doesn't have to be in a formal sit-and-learn way because learning can just happen during playtime, mealtime, bathtime or bedtime. Or just anytime when I feel it best to teach the values. Happy to say, Adam is picking up on the good values like "Sorry", "Thank You", "Pleashhhh" pretty well but yet to observe further on Aiman which I hope to instill the same in him.

And no matter how troublemaker my son is, cursing is just not my thing. Well, because I've encountered situation where parents cursed their kids in PUBLIC! Stupid, loser, lembab, degil-nak-mampos and those kind of cruel words. Such a horrid mistreatment of children! Can you imagine saying all those bad things to a child? Kesian tau.

Ok, back to the topic above, teaching honesty is just one of it. Be it their feelings, views, opinions or actions, I always want them to be honest. Say whenever Adam did something wrong, I will ask him to be honest and admit for the mistake and apologize and promise not to repeat it again (yes, he will "shoriii" everyone for the mistake but most often will repeat it again and again, grrrrr....). But other than that, he got an A for practicing good values here.

But the thing now, he is being extremely honest in blurting out his view and opinions and yes, I am one of the unfortunate people receiving the true view from him.

Situation 1

Adam: Mama, pusing belakang, Adam naik naik elephant!

Mama: Elephant?? Seriously?? What happen to the old kuda that I used to be? -______-" *nanessss*

Situation 2

Tok Abah: Adam nak naik boat ker? Nak bawak siapa?

Adam: Nak bawak semua orang!

Mama: Mama nak ikot boleh?

Adam: Bawak Abah, Ayah, Mama, eyh Mama tak boleh. Nanti boat tenggelam!

Mama: ???!!! Siapa ajaq anak aku loyar burok tahap gini nihhhhhh???

How could you torture your own mom like this?? And you are just two and half. Depresi dengan kenyataan anak sendiri. And why are you not telling the same fat thing to Ayah? Pilih kasih ker apa nih.

Since then, terus berazam untuk lebih kurus until I hit my ideal weight 60kg. Ok, that angan-angan macam a bit overboard, let's make it 65. Serious. I am serious.

Where is my PB?? *and start ordering Herbalife*

I need go extra miles than just preaching the word DIET.

Basically this entry is not about teaching good values to kids but telling you how depress I am with Adam's honest statement =_______=

Dalam depresi pun, tetap sedut kolestrol Mi Udang Mak Jah :P

Gula Tambahan adalah Fakta Benar

Haha! I know, mesti ada yang cakap, "more on added sugars?" Hihihi...

I guess my only concern bila sebut added sugars ni, taknaklah bagi anak I consume perkara yang tak diperlukan oleh badan. Aiman particularly. Bayangkan pulak bila sebelum tidur Aiman minum susu 8oz yang fully loaded dengan added sugars, which obviously tak diperlukan oleh badan, kalau dikumpul-kumpul, silap hari bulan empty calories tu boleh membawa kepada lebihan berat badan dan obesiti.

Sebab tu bila nak beli formula atau makanan atau minuman budak-budak sekarang, I bukan main lagi nak semak label. Tengok ada tak terms macam corn syrup solids, glucose syrup solids, sucrose ker macam tuh sebab tu semua added sugars.

Tapi sejujurnya, memang susah nak jumpa label makanan/minuman/susu membesar yang complete tanpa gula tambahan - "no added sugars" or "sugar free", so at least I pilih yang tulis "less sugars" and then check label betul ker tidak less :)

Tapi jangan tertipu, kot ada label yang tulis "Sucrose Free", memang dia sucrose free, tapi gula tambahan jenis lain still banyak dalam tuh. So itu pentingnya nak kena baca food labels betul-betul.

Memang susah jadi parents zaman moden ni, semakin banyak research and penemuan baru, semakin cerewet mak bapak jadinya. Hehehe. Macam I. :P Tapi yang pentingnya sekarang, nak timbulkan kesedaran betapa tak bagusnya gula tambahan dalam nutrisi harian anak-anak, bukan semestinya susu saja. Sebab gula tambahan memang sah-sah empty calories, buat tambah risiko kesihatan jer nanti dekat anak-anak, if not now maybe later life. Kesian depa.

Nanti next entry I nak share videos from experts tentang added sugars pulak =)

Yang montok enough dan tidak memerlukan lagi gula tambahan, hehe..

Berhantu sungguh Watsons nih...Isk!

2012-01-20T12:11:00.000+08:00

Berhantulah, sebab....macam mana pun kau nekad beli SATU barang sahaja, mesti akan pulang dengan SATU PLASTIK BEG yang PENUH barang. Lagi-lagi kalau pergi time baru dapat gaji lepas tu Watsons pulak itu jam buat promo macam-macam, confirm, memang shopping sakan.

Macam yang berlaku semalam.Hikssss.

Mula-mula masuk nak beli Avene starter kit jer, sekali terbabasnya melampau-lampau. Sebelum tu dah dok bertimbang tara dalam Jusco, nak beli Clinique Whitening set ke takmau. Tapi total dalam RMM350, terasa sayang duit sangat sebab zaman sekarang, kalau tak cucuk vitamin C, idok ler lawa mana sangat jadinya. Kena "dia cucuk sana, dia cucuk sini, dia plasenta sana, dia botox sini" kekdahnya. Hahahahah! So cancel Clinique tu, kita try Avene.

Tapi kesudahannya, membeli meraban taktau hala dekat Watsons. Sekian. Eyh, tapi tak kisahlah. Yang penting pulang dengan hati gembira. Apa orang putih kata tu, "self-reward" gitu, penat tau dok bancuh diaper cakes, kuikuikui!

Antara yang takmau beli tapi beli jugak,

Lipstick Bobbi dah gone, Chanel eye liner dah Adam buat macam pencil color dia -______- So not to cause any unfortunate events lagi, kita settle jer dengan drugstore makeup. Kalau rosak pun, tak terkilan sangat yer dop? Lagi pun, tengah gigih simpan duit, nak beli LAPTOP and SONY NEX, nak ganti laptop and camera yang dok tunggu hari nak kaput. *eyh, apasal aku asyik kerja mengganti barang jer nih? anak sapa Haris Bersaudara nih? Iskkk*

Lepas tu beli "Lutik" (lipstick) dekat Adam. Suka sangat main lipbalm Mama, nah Mama beli satu buat main. Harga RM6.90 jer. Aiman tak payah, satgi hang buat makan.

Last but not least, yang paling suka sebab dapat beli tote bag Paddington Bear ini dengan harga RM10 sajo. Suka sebab material dia ala-ala Harrods bag gitu, sesuai nak buat beg susu Aiman. Kalau kotor senang cuci. Kalau Harrods tu sayang la jugak, walaupun boleh cuci, tapi sebab dia Harrods, haruslah berkasih sayang sikit. Yang ini takpa, RM10 only :P

Evamatic Mat

2012-01-20T10:39:00.000+08:00

Dah lama plan nak tukar carpet dekat bilik tidoq kami tapi tak jumpa yang bersesuaian. Adam kan allergy sangat to home dust mites, so carpet tu antara kawasan jajahan dust mites lah. My mom said, "buh ja tikaq getah, senang mop bila kotoq".

I was like, errrrr....Bilik tidur dan tikaq getah, tak romantik kot. Hahaha. Nak buh tikar rotan apa semua tu, after a while dia still akan collect dust kat belah bawah, jadi berdebu macam tuh, so pangkah jugak option ni.

Sampailah my friend tag picture Evamatic floor mat ni dekat Facebook I. Out of 10 sale items being tagged, yang ni jer lah aku tak remove, hakhakhak. Sebab menepati kehendak pelanggan. Ini tak, hang pi tag gambaq long dress melekap kat badan (yang obviously body den not in its best shape), confirm ah kena remove kan.

So I bought this floor mat from my friend. Cari kat Facebook "Lil One's Closet", rasanya lah, hahaha. Kalau salah, nanti I check balik. Harga murah, design pun cool, ringan and senang angkat untuk bersihkan semua. Tapi yang paling best sebenarnya harga tu, RM45 jer kot. Tu pun bayar dua kali, 50% deposit masa order, balance masa barang sampai. Sekarang nak mencari barang yang murah dan berguna je, hikhikhik...

Tapi lepas tu bilik kami jadi macam kawasan-lalu-lintas kenderaan Adam Haris. -____-

Pelanggan yang berpuas hati :P

Sori lambat update. Sekarang nak update output pun kena by batches. My laptop is just not in its best, so mood nak upload picture adalah tak berapa best :P Business still on, and going strong alhamdulillah. :) Thank you for those you have ordered from me and now thinking of making points stamps gitu. Ala-ala stamps minum bubble tea tu, sebab I perasan ramai jugak return customers :) Tapi nanti I fikir macam mana, hehe. Till next update, daaaa...

Aiman! You make my blood go upstairs~!!

2012-01-19T01:11:00.000+08:00

Nope. Bukan blood go upstairs dah, ini blood naik sampai Burj Al Arab nu haaa. Ini dialog Azean Irdawaty dalam drama apa tah, tahun 90an duluuu...

Look what you have done to my laptop Mr. Demok. It must be you, the only suspect in this case. Abang Adam takdak dekat rumah semalam, so sapa lagi? And the toys above, it's all yours Mister. Tak susah Mama nak siasat kes pecah lingkup laptop ni.

Semalam dah sakan I bising dekat Fesbuk, pagi ni nak sambung dekat belog. Penting buat rekod bacaan anak-anak satu hari nanti, biaq depa tau betapa punya banyak kerosakan berlaku sepanjang nak bagi semua besaq cerdik.

Ini nak ganti external keyboard pun dah takdak hati. Sebab last few days, Aiman dah lempaq buang laptop ni dari katil, umpama acara lontar peluru tau dak? Tu pun syukur, laptop ni masih bernyawa. Tapi hari ni, dengan keadaan almost "naked", takdak mood aihhh nak pi repair.

I want NEW LAPTOP. Tak ada tapi-tapi lagi.

*stresssss amat sihhhhhhhhh*

Marah lebih-lebih pun, bukan Si Demok ni faham. Dia buat senyum simpul lagi ada. >__<

Kalendar 2012 yang chic sikit :P

Hehehe...Baru lah sesuaiii nak tampal kat cubicle I. Ceria sikit. ;)

Kalau hangpa nak jugak, sila click to enlarge and silalah print sendiri. Pixel tu takdaklah sharp sangat, sebab I guna software cabuk saja, PhotoStudio weh. Tu pun yang version zaman tok kaduk masa duduk MMU. Tapi ok lah untuk sapa-sapa yang suka perkara berusur gerdix girlish begitu :P

Feel free to share. Untung-untung boleh tersebar link belog I dekat kalendar nih. Hahaha!

Ini tatau la sungguh-sungguh ka Si Mamat hantar kat ketua kampung dia. Tapi surat rasmi dia memang lawak gila lah. Terengganu di hati kamu sungguh ;)

Note: Tak faham? Yang penting saya faham :P

MimiJumi the boob-like milk bottle :P

2012-01-16T14:03:00.000+08:00

Just as the product tagline goes, "Simple but Extraordinary". I must say this very-natural-looking milk bottle is very, very cool. Because it looks just like the boob~!

Agak-agak kalau ada baby yang refuse to take bottle or maybe dalam transition between direct feeding to bottle feeding, boleh cuba guna bottle ni lah kot? Maybe can help to reduce the risk of nipple confusion.

Material is soft and "boob" is designed to be in the best shape close to real one. Except the nipple (I think) is too long, obviously nothing near the size of mom's, kot?? :P And this little beauty is quite pricey; RM87 for one bottle :P

Note: Can't imagine if Aiman uses this bottle and he chomps on the nipple and crack it off, ouchhh! Macam horror la tengok boob berlubang kot? Hahaha!

Edisi Lucu Adam Haris

2012-01-16T10:39:00.000+08:00

Good morning people!

Pagi-pagi Isnin ni kita kena ceria-ceria sikit, sebab minggu ini masih panjang, jadi elakkan memasuki emocore zone di permulaan minggu okies? On a brighter side, minggu depan cuti panjang, so mari berkerja rajin-rajin dengan harapan Jumaat akan pantas menjelma dan kita boleh cuti tung-tung-chiang selepas itu.

Ok, pagi ni I nak cerita tentang Adam Haris.

Adam ni personaliti dia serius, maksudnya tak berapa nak merapu meraban tak tau hala. Tapi semenjak dua menjak vocab dia dah upgrade macam orang dewasa, dia punya loyar burok pun boleh tahan jugak. Can you imagine loyar burok budak umur 2 tahun setengah? -______-"

So adalah satu pagi ni, Adam tengah main dengan kunci kereta Ayah sambil bawak buggy dia tu. Then Ayah datang and mintaklah kunci kereta tu kan.

Ayah: Adam, give back my car keys.

Adam: *Blur*

Ayah: Adam, I said give back my car keys, pleaseee?

Adam: *took a minute to think thing through, as if he was giving a deep though onto something*

Ayah: Adam?

You know what our son did?

He didn't hand in the keys, BUT he raised his leg up and said, "Nah Ayah, KAKI"

ROTFL!

Ayah didn't get the keys but KAKI instead.

Note to Ayah, next time nak cakap orang-putih dengan Adam, you have to speak with iPad accent. Car tu kena jadi caRRRRR macam omputih lidah terbelit gitu. Not car as in KA.

Then there's another two loyar-burok-stories of him that happened to me last few days .

Story 1

Adam: *busy filling his backpack-pocket with coins*

Mama: Adam buat apa tuh?

Adam: Nak bawak duit, Adam nak main machine coins. (referring to coins operated kids ride)

Mama: Adam ada duit ker? Adam tak kerja, macam mana nak ada duit main machine coins?

Adam: Ni Adam kerja lah. Adam amik duit Mama dalam beg Mama. Kerja laaa ni...

Mama: -_______-"

Story 2

Lights out, its bedtime!

Adam: *Still wanted to play with his trucks* Mama bukak lah lampu. Adam nak main ni.

Mama: Nope. Dah pukul 11. Kena tidur. Esok kita sambung main.

Adam: Ala Mama bukak lah lampu. Trucks Adam ni belum sampai rumah diaaa.

Mama: Takpa, bawak trucks balik rumah dia.

Adam: Tak boleh, gelap. Trucks ni dia tak nampak traffic light. Macam mana nak tau lampu hijau ker, lampu merah ker, lampu kuning ker. Dia tak boleh jalan niiii. Macam mana dia nak balik rumah diaaaa...

Mama: *macam-macamlah hang nih!*

Ini kehidupan seorang Mama

2012-01-13T11:06:00.000+08:00

Ok, hari ini saya nak membebel kosong sahaja. Membebel tentang kehidupan harian menjadi seorang isteri, emak, pekerja, peniaga, blogger (ada jugak!), anak dan apa-apa saja lah jawatan yang dipikul dalam kehidupan ini.

Topiknya tentang rutin harian. Terfikir nak berkongsi dan bertanya pendapat dengan emak-emak lain, tentang masa dan rutin harian lepas seorang reader I tanya jadual harian I. Sesungguhnya, hidup makan gaji ni, rutin harian tu macam cycle biasa yang diulang-ulang. Suka atau tidak, ulang saja lah labu. Itu pun rasa macam tak cukup masa nak buat kerja yang serba macam nih.

Bangun pagi 5.30, iron baju, buat susu Aiman, buat breakfast suami, mandi, pergi kerja. Pun kadang-kadang lambat sampai office. Agaknya nak kena bangun pukui 4 kot. Tsk....

Pukul 6.00 balik ofis. Kebiasaannya, pergi dinner dulu dengan suami, pergi kedai beli barang kalau perlu, balik rumah dah pukul 8.30 malam.

Mandi, then tidurkan Aiman. Then bangun balik, main dengan Adam, buat diaper cakes, tidurkan Adam and I tidur jugaklah. Suami balik pukul 1 pagi, I bangun, sembang-sembang 15 minit, sambung tidur balik. Habis camno nak mampu bangun pukul 4 pagi? Daaaaa....

Saya tinggal dengan parents. Urusan makan minum baju anak-anak, sesungguhnya memang BANYAK parents saya yang tolong buatkan. Cool? Yeay or nay? Yeay pun ada, nay pun ada. Yeay sebab banyaklah benda mudah, lagi-lagi bila mengenangkan Abah saya yang handwash and iron setiap baju Haris Bersaudara. Pelik tapi benar, Abah saya yang buat.

Nay pun ada. Sebab kadang-kadang terkenang jadi macam tak sempurna tak boleh handle anak sendiri 100%. Macam tak mampu. Hahaha! Itu baru dua anak, berangan nak sampai empat. Hekhekhek...Senang kata, Haris Bersaudara membesar dengan banyak tangan yang mengasuh. Bukan tangan ibu mereka 100%. *_____*

Itu belum kira suami saya yang sungguh tak cerewet dalam urusan rumah tangga. Pada dia, janji baju nak pakai ada, siap iron, breakfast ada, dah cukup. Tak minta pun masak-masak Nasi Beriyani Ayam Masak Merah Bingka Ubi whatsoever. Cukup bulan suami bayar segala keperluan bulanan, bil-bil, insurans, beli susu anak segala. PUN saya masih rasa macam tak cukup tangan, tak cukup masa sampai penat otak nak fikir. Tah apa yang busy sangat, diri sendiri pun tak dapat nak justify.

Lepas tu, rasa impress bila tengok emak-emak lain dengan cool keluar jalan-jalan bawak anak berderet sedangkan I BELUM pernah sekali naik kereta bawak Haris Bersaudara pergi jalan together. Maksudnya I dengan kids only. TAK PERNAH. Pergi jalan naik kereta beli roti kat kedai runcit depan rumah pun tak pernah, apatah lagi keluar jauh dari kawasan perumahan.

Rasa macam tak boleh jaga. Karenah dia orang macam-macam. Owh, bercakap tentang karenah, last two days my mom buat masak lemak ketam. So dah perah santan bagai, letak la bekas tu dekat sink. Adam masa tu tengah main air, tolong basuh pinggan lah katanya. Then my mom heard he said, "Opss! Terjatuh la pulak!" But she didn't bother to check what was that. Then after, my mom pun sambung la masak-masak gulai ketam tu. Masuk ketam, masuk santan segala kan. Tiba-tiba, masa tengah kacau kuah tu, dia jadi bubble, keluar buih tiba-tiba. Rupa-rupanya dalam tu ada berus dawai basuh periuk! Itu lah yang rupa-rupanya jatuh tadi dalam santan. Kesudahannya, my mom buang jer ketam-ketam tu semua, sebab tak lalu nak sambung masak apatah lagi makan, mengenangkan dah gaul sebati dengan berus dawai yang hitam tu T_____T Anak aku punya pasal jugak.

Ok, back to the topic. I rasa nak kena belajarlah menjadi emak yang boleh maintain cool sepanjang masa. Yang tak payah nak naik suara macam Permaisuri Raksaksa. Especially dengan Aiman yang always make my blood go upstairs. Haha! Adam ok lah, tak susah nak control sebab dia boleh bercakap dan faham apa kita cakap. Adam tu dah boleh buat kawan sembang-sembang. Aiman pulak, dia dah start bercakap, tapi still at early stage lah. And there will be time when he just refuse to listen to us. Kau marahlah high pitch suara soprano pun, the most dia hanya kelip-kelip mata dia macam tak ada apa.

Dulu I selalu tanya my husband, "Kenapa Aiman macam ni?" Tapi lepas dah observe kanak-kanak lain, Aiman is normal, doing just the same things as many other kids of his age di luar sana. Tantrums semua tu biasa, in fact rasa ada budak-budak lain lagi dahsyat dari Aiman. We are just lucky to have Adam yang pada kami special dan bijak (tak kisah lah puji anak sendiri pun) and segalanya seperti mudah dengan Adam. Tapi Allah tak bagi segalanya sempurna, Adam ada eczema, so kesian dia part itu. Siang malam tergaru-garu, ingat senang duduk ker?

So apa yang Aiman buat sekarang, kita tak pernah experience masa Adam. Sebab tu awal-awal dulu macam takut, "Aiman ni ok ker? Normal ker perangai macam ni?" But not anymore now, cuma I nak kena belajar jadi sabar peringkat langit ke tujuh dalam membesarkan Aiman Haris. Tapi tu lah, macam mana anak ni pun, bila tengok perangai dia yang mencuit hati, terus rasa "hmpphhh, it worth all the sweat and mental torture". So, sabar jer lah dengan keadaan sekarang sementara anak nak besar.

Tapi nanti depa dah besaq, tambah adik-adik pulak macam mana? Bila cycle nak habisssssssssssss -______-" Nak lah anak perempuan jugak. Tapi kalau sampai empat semua boys, mak redho jer lah, tunggu menantu la jawabnya :P

So how's your life mommies? Sama macam I kah? Or I yang nak kena betulkan kehidupan bagi elok sikit? :P

Most Commonly Used Herbs and Spices

2012-01-12T13:52:00.000+08:00

Being Malaysian, I believe most of us are born with 1001 Asian taste buds, hence herbs and spices are such a big part of our lives. And I bet every household here in Malaysia (or any rumah rakyat Malaysia across the globe) have herbs and spices rack in their kitchen kan? BUT only few clearly recognize and know what are those stuff and their proper usage.

Anyway, I'm one of those people who always have difficulty to differentiate between types of herbs and spices and their uses. Lagi-lagi kalau resepi orang putih, haiyohhh I tell you, meraban mata mencari bahan dekat supermarket tu @___@ And very often, without any specific need and reason, I just beli and beli sebab seronok tengok botol spices berderet dekat dapur -_____-"

But not anymore, because here, a special entry on list of commonly used herbs and spices which hopefully, may come in handy to every amateur cook like me :P Don't worry, you can often find below items in the spice aisle at most major supermarkets in town.

You know, those being sold in the little jars, except the fact that price for each little bottle can sometimes be really pricey. :P Talk about Mc Cormick and Masterfoods lah, or else you can just buy those under Tesco brand, confirm murah, ranging from RM3.90-RM6.90 jer tau.

Allspice - Cakes, puddings, dessert, fruit preserves or marinate meat dishes. Taste like a mix of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves & black pepper.

Aniseed (Jintan Manis) - Garnish. Always used in combination with Cumin (Jintan Putih).

Basil (Daun Selasih) - Salads, sauces, meat dishes, vegetables such as potatoes & spinach.

Bay Leaves (Daun Salam) - Soup, stew, tomato sauces.

Cardamom (Buah Pelaga) - Rice dishes, cakes, pastries.

Cayenne Pepper (Cili Merah la kan?)

Chives (Daun Kucai) - Add mild onion taste to salads, soup, egg and meat dishes.

Cilantro/Coriander (Daun Ketumbar) - Curries, pies, soups, stuffing.

Cinnamon (Kayu Manis) - custard, milk, coffee, cake, ice cream, cookies and pastries.

Cloves (Bunga Cengkih) - Roast chicken/meat, soups, stews.

Cumin (Jintan Putih) - Rice dishes, curries, stews.

Dill - Seasonings, salads, soups, meat, fish, egg, potatoes, gravies.

Fenugreek (Halba) - Gravies, curries.

Galangal (Lengkuas)

Garlic (Bawang Putih)

Ginger (Halia)

Italian Seasoning - Great in pasta, sauces, pizza, meat marinades, soups, stews.

Kaffir Lime Leaves (Daun Limau Purut)

Leek - Fish, seafoods

Mint (Daun Pudina)

Nutmeg (Buah Pala) - Baked dishes, soups.

Oregano - Tomato and cheese dishes, meat, pizza, pasta.

Paprika (mix of dried bell peppers) - Shellfish, fish, salads, egg, garnish.

Parsley - Salads, sauces, garnish.

Pepper

Rosemary - Meat recipes especially lamb, sauces, marinades.

Saffron - Rice, stews, fish. Very nice but expensive! Expensive sebab each flower yang produce saffron, cuma ada 3 stigmas. So imagine, you need a whole lot of flowers for only few threads. And it's hand picked too. I read it on the internet and said that every 14000 stigmas only produced one ounce of saffron threads -_______-" That little.

Sage - Meat stuffing and seasoning.

Thyme - Soups, chicken and fish marinades, cheese, salads, sauces and stuffing.

Turmeric (Kunyit) - shall I explain more? ;)

AINO Living Store

2012-01-11T11:55:00.002+08:00

I pergi One Utama last week, saja nak merasmikan kaki ke the New-Old-Wing tu hehehe. Kegembiraan melanda sebab banyak kedai-kedai baru including the soon to open Isetan. Cool! Tak yah redah sampai KLCC nu...Tapi kegembiraan tak lama sebab poket tak berapa lebar :P So cuci mata lah, walaupun nun jauh di ceruk hati mengharapkan ada kedai yang jual barang best tapi harga dua tiga ringgit gitu. Haha! Excuse me, kedai RM2 takmau okeh.

Sekali tu kannnnnnnn, ADA! Ini lah yang dinamakan Mega Sale Berganda!

I found this shop. AINO Living. Kedai jual perkakas dapur, alatan masak-memasak, yang cool yang chic yang MURAH~!

Maka, sesiapa yang suka membeli kitchen tools secara merepek meraban, walaupun dah ada tapi nak beli lagi, boleh pergi kedai ini. Ada jugak dekat Empire Gallery dengan Parkson Pavilion, tapi tak pernah pergi, so tak tau apa rupa dia.

Siap ada hari tu dia longgok 3 set pots, color orange, lime green camtuh, RM15 saja! Tapi I tak beli, bila balik rumah tiba-tiba rasa rugi. Patut beli jer, RM15 equal to Setarbaks Frap je. T____T Ada part yang jual tools RM3 each, memang rambang mata terus! Even kalau tak sale pun, banyak jer jugak barang harga dalam RM10 cam tu, kira ok lah.

So hasilnya adalah ini. Total RM18.90 only. Dirt cheap!

Showed this to my husband and dia balas, "Semua dah ada. Buat apa beli lagi?"

Jawapan macam biasa "RM3 jer satu, murah sangat"

Ustaz Azhar Idrus siap dah cakap, perempuan ni memang macam budak-budak. Barang dah ada, tapi nok gok beli lagi hok serupe. Hehehe...Memang semua tu dah ada, tapi yang ada tu tak cool sebab standard plastic taraf bakery supplies je. :P

Allergy Blood Test: Reading

2012-01-10T12:07:00.000+08:00

Ini result allergy test Adam Haris.

We've already got one explanation from Adam's doctor which I think should be sufficient enough on what to do next. Because together with the above is another set of report (2 pages length) stated the comments from consultant pathologist as well as the DOs and DONTs.

However, being a blogger mommy who lives in everything-internet era, sourcing for additional information is simply no boundaries. So here, I'm seeking out for multiples sources of expert advice with regard to my son's allergy test result.

Doctors? Or mommies, who shares the same experience like mine, raising kids with allergies/asthma/eczema? Not that I feel unease with my doctor's recommendations, tapi sajalah nak kumpul info lain :)

Do share with me if you have any comments/opinions with regards to the matter above =)

Many thanks in advance ;)

Review: SIY Berries Essence (Slimming Product)

2012-01-10T10:03:00.000+08:00

Amboihhhh, ni nampak review slimming-slimming ni, mulalah laju semua nak tau apa kan? :P

Maka dengan itu, marilah lihat hasil yang saya perolehi setelah 10 hari menjalani ujikaji kurus mengurus ini. Eyh sekejap. Sebelum itu kena berterima kasih pada kawan saya, Syera, sebab sudi bagi satu box SIY ni untuk ShilaShower cuba-try-test, hehehe....

Masa mula-mula dapat box berries essence ni, I pun Google lah jugak info and testimonial pengguna lain kan, and most of them claimed yang berat badan boleh turun at least 3kg dalam masa 10 hari.

I was like?? Biar benar? Is it that efficient? It took me a year to move from 74 to 72 and I've been stuck at that number since then. Setahun, yang I dah feeling-feeling kurus Janipah Lopeh tu, I cuma hilang 2kg sahaja. Inches banyak cm hilang, from size 16 to 12 okeh, tapi berat tak hilang pulak. Kejadian masih misteri sehingga hari ini.

Not putting much hope on this product, I cuba saja lah. Siap bagitau my husband, if boleh hilang 500gram pun I dah gembira sangat. Hahaha...

Menu makan macam biasa, nothing is change. In fact, makan luar lagi sakan ada, sebab cuti panjangkan, asyik dok melilau merata ja :P Tapi foods bersantan memang I tak makan pun, sebab memang tu bukan kegemaran I, so agak membantu agaknya di situ. Minum air masak banyak-banyak, 3 liter sehari. Ini, hang diet ka, tak diet ka, air masak memang kena minum banyak-banyak, baru otak cergas bagai.

Rasa dia? Masam-masam manis masin semua ada. Hehehe. Sebab mix berries kot. Ada macam asam boi, ada macam prune, ada sikit macam lime jugak. Minum 1 pagi, 1 malam. Sekali sedut habis dah botol kecik tu.

Hasilnya?

Yang atas ni measurement BEFORE.

Weight: 72.0kg

BMI: 25.5 (overweight)

Body Fat: 30.1%

Water: 50.9%

Result AFTER.

Weight: 70.0kg

BMI: 24.8 (normal)

Body Fat: 29.1%

Water: 52.1%

Telah kurus sebanyak 2KG sekarang :) Haruslah amat gembira melampau. Walaupun perut tak flatten sangat, ada unsur-unsur tak firm di situ dan ini confirm perlu workout selepas digunakan secara berat mengandungkan anak-anak baka hantap-padu-solid. Aiman lagi lah, bersalin at 37 weeks berat 3.5kg. Kalau cukup 40weeks, harus dia keluaq 4kg jugak.

Lepas ni kena kerja keras lagi. Nak jogging macam tak cukup masa. Mungkin kena outing lebih dengan Aiman without stroller. Haaaaa, baru merasa peluh mercik! Aiman tu umpama fitness centre lah. Boleh buat cardio kejar dia lari, boleh bina muscle due to his weight, boleh uji mental jugak sekali sebab dia memang akan selalu menguji kesabaran diri. Eyh, serba macamlah boleh test dengan Aiman. Ujian daya tahan pekak telinga pun boleh :P

Jadinya, kalau ada sapa-sapa rasa nak mencuba this product, which to me sangatlah tak susah nak consume, macam jer macam kita minum essence lain, bolehlah contact my friend untuk maklumat selanjutnya.

Syairah 0132576478 - syairah.abdullah@gmail.com

Latest pics lepas hilang 2KG (tapi harap tak naik 2KG dengan sepantas kilat).

Yang bawah ni pulak gambar ngeri, setahun yang lepas. Hakhakhak! Saspen takut tak kurus wohhhh!

Baked Pasta and Mashed Potato

2012-01-09T14:49:00.000+08:00

Hehehehe...Entri masak-memasak lagi.

I cuti sakan hari tu u'olls (almost two weeks) so I pun bertukarlah profession. I swapped hats and turned myself into a master-chef but in my own kitchen :P Calculator? Spreadsheet? What is that? In that two week period, I only know what are pots and pans and stuff like that. ^___^ Numbers I taktau, hehe...

So here another campak-campur-siap recipe which to me is a great quick-fix meal for outing too. Quick as I'm using Prego Pasta sauce here, hihihi...

In a baking dish, mix your al-dente cooked pasta and Prego Pasta Bake sauce, minced meat, capsicums, mushroom and stir well. Top with mozzarella and sprinkle with pepper and oregano to add flavors. Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes until pasta turns golden brown and cheese melts through (preheat oven to 350F). Kacang eyh? Even your toddler can help you with this. Junior Masterchef yo.

Mashed potato lagi senang. Wash potatoes thoroughly and peel. Place potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Cook over high heat and bring water to boil. Cook until tender (about 15 minutes), rinse and drain immediately. Let potatoes sit for a minute to dry, then add teaspoon of butter and mash it with a fork.

Hah, I know. The question now is, "semudah itu nak mash potatoes? only with a fork?" Well, yes, provided you are using the right type of potatoes lah. Or in this recipe, good to use russet potatoes (or Idaho) because they are high in starch, which means they absorb more moisture and turn light and fluffy when boiled. So senanglah nak mash. :) But I didn't prepare the gravy; avoiding from making the meal set "sloppy" and messy especially when eating in the car.

Oven Baked Salmon with Couscous

2012-01-09T10:39:00.000+08:00

Easy peasy meal; seasoned baked salmon on a bed of couscous. Brilliant food that perfectly suit both Mama & Kiddos orang-putih taste buds =) I said it brilliant because this is truly an easy-to-handle recipe for Mama yet it provides a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids which good for kids brain development. Ok, of course makan sekali belum genius but it's good to add salmon dalam kids weekly meal plan :P

Anyway, I tried this recipe for the first time last week (which I basically cedok from Mr.Google) and was very happy that everything came out great. Everything as in Salmon and Couscous jer la pun. Salmon ok lah, perfectly pink, not very wobbly and not too firm. Coucous? Fluffy enough and settled well with our stomachs. Hehe...

Actually, I wanted to make the classic creamy Dijon sauce, but was too lazy to whip another set of ingredients and to clean another additional pot, so I settled with a freshly squeezed lemon jer lah.

So here the how to.

Oven Baked Salmon

Ingredients:

Salmon fillets

Extra virgin olive oil

Garlic powder

Dill

Black pepper

Lemon

Salt (to taste)

How to:

[1] Rinse salmon well with water and pat dry.

[2] Place salmon fillets in roasting tin, skin side down.

[3] Drizzle both sides of fillets with olive oil and season with garlic powder, dill, pepper, lemon and salt.

[4] Marinade for 1 hour (refrigerate).

[5] Preheat oven to 200C/400F.

[6] Bake salmons for 10-15 minutes depends on how thick it is. For a well cooked fillet, it should be just moist and flake easily with fork.

[7] Lay fillet on couscous, sprinkle a little bit more pepper and squeeze wedge of lemon. Enjoy!

Couscous

Very easy to cook and there is no limitation on what you can do with it. In my case, I just:

[1] Bring 3 cups of water to boil and add half-cube Maggi chicken stock. Hehehe...

[2] Add 1 1/2 cups of couscous and cook until light and fluffy. Siap!

Asparagus? Come on. Bring water to boil, boil until crisp and tender. Sekejap saja settle! =)

Ok, my iPhone 3 picture quality simply doesn't do it justice, but this is definitely a worth-trying recipe.

Diaper Cakes #162 to #180 and Mini Diaper Cakes

Adam and his lollipop story

2012-01-05T00:16:00.000+08:00

One thing that many of you may have not known about Adam Haris is; he doesn't really eat candy and chocolate. Keropok jajan lagi la tak makan. My son is weird, I know. I dare to say that these two items are not even in the list of his favorites pun.

Or maybe because he didn't get to eat anything sweet until he was one and a half, and the fact that we don't really keep junk foods and sweet stuff in our house, so dia pun tak berapa nak expose sangat. I guess that's why he hardly in the mood to eat anything sweet.

Funnily, every time we give him chocolate, he will say, "Taknak, nanti gigi hitam" Because the first time he ate chocolate, dia tengok cermin, gigi adalah semua brown. Hahaha! Then after, terus trauma nak makan chocolate :P

But recently, he just upgraded himself with a new knowledge on lollipop. I'm not sure how he discovered it, but since then, he has been bugging me with "Mama, Adam nak loli-lollipop" *repeat that verse seratus kali* Bingit weh! Ok lah. After all, I don't see any good reason to completely ban this group of foods kan, anything in moderation is fine, I suppose.

So I bought one.

Pilihan tak agak-agak. He chose the big round lolly that could possibly take him a month to finish off. Yang mini size tak mau *______* But don't worry, that piece only lasted for about 2 hours before Aiman smashed it hard on the wall and broke into pieces. Poor you lolly.

Of course he was one happy fella on earth bila Mama belikan lollipop. I told him,

"Adam bayarlah sendiri. Adam yang nak makan" but he replied,

"Hmphhhh Mama bayar laaa. Adam lupa mintak duit dekat Ayah. Adam ada dua ratus setengah jer ni" ~___~

Hang nak beli lollipop apa mahai beratus oih? -_____-

But not long after we left the shop, tiba-tiba dia mengamuk!

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Lollipop ni tak boleh makannnnnnnnnnnn!! Kerasssssssss" and he started crying.

Haiyooo. Nak kesian ada, nak gelak pun ada. You know why?

First, he didn't know that lollipop is hard and that he has to lick to taste and not expecting to chew it macam kuih, and second, he didn't even tear that clear plastic wrapper pun! Abes, camno nak makannnnnn?? Of all the things that he has mastered, bukak gula-gula jugak dia tak reti.

Sadly enough, when every other kids of his age knows how pleasure this sugary stuff is, my son doesn't even know how to tear open a candy or chocolate wrapper. Most often, he will just chew the plastic wrapper before complaining that the thing is tasteless. -____-"

Yee Sang Dinner of 2012 :)

2012-01-02T01:29:00.000+08:00

Ini Yee Sang dinner bersempena Chinese New Year 2012, tapi dah celebrate awal, buat combo closing 2011 and opening 2012 gitu :P Hah, sapu Krismas sekali, demi menyahut seruan 1 Malaysia Dato' Najib. Hehehe...Ini memang agenda tahunan keluarga kami tho I'm quite sure there is no Chinese blood line running through our veins. We are just awesome people celebrating all festive seasons in Malaysia, including Chinese New Year ^____^ Itu belum kira cousin saya yang seorang tu, yang setiap tahun together with other one million Hindus flocking to Batu Caves during Thaipusam day. Semata nak amik gambar okeh? Kau sanggup nyah?

Ok, berbalik kepada cerita Yee Sang tadi, dinner kali ini adalah sedikit meriah dengan kehadiran Chow Yun Fat Junior. Hakhakhak! Tapi Chow Yun Fat ni dia makan nasik guna spoon lah, omputih sikit. Not to mention that sesi makan kali ni quite challenging sebab nak handle Aiman yang sebok nak makan guna chopstik. Last-last Pak dia kata,

"Aiman, kita orang Titi Gajah, mana reti guna chopstik. Kita guna tangan sudah" Hahahaha!!

Adam on the other hand, was behaving very well and surprisingly, knows how to use chopsticks! Even though its only lasted for a good 5 minutes, but considering doing it with his left hand, is totally amazing! Strong sign of being left handed nih.

Owh, talking about being left handed, here is another funny story of Adam which I have previously shared on FB few weeks ago.

Mama: Adam, kenapa makan guna tangan kiri? Tangan kiri kan guna nak basuh berak.

Adam: *stop eating and take a closer look at his left hand* Tak apa, nanti Adam basuh berak tangan kanan tau.

-_______-

Mama: *speechless* Yeah, you got the concept right on your head.

DiGi iPhone 4SURE SIRI ANSWERS

2011-12-28T20:26:00.000+08:00

SIRI.

This voice activated virtual assistant is a total hit over the innovation of iPhones ever. Can you imagine how cool is that to have someone who can virtually reply to your question or request? Awesome! So much as I wanted to talk and chit-chat with Adik Aiman, he can't seem to understand me yet because he is still very much in his baby language zone. Who else is there for me to talk whenever everyone else is busy at work? Other than my Elmo-sour (obviously can't reply a word) and Adik Aiman (replied, but sadly unable to decipher his message).

But not anymore with DiGi iPhone because 4SURE SIRI ANSWERS me! Siri will definitely be my new buddy whom be able to answer to all my requests; read ABC, count 1-2-3, sing-a-song and all other requests on demand. Hehehe...Perfect right?

In fact, SIRI can definitely listen to my instruction like to text or face time with mom or dad =P Hence, doesn't matter if I don't know how to type, because I can still get my things done just by asking SIRI. Voice over mode, coolness! Nothing to worry because SIRI is made to understand my accent and other characteristics of my voice. ;)

Above all, everything is made possible only with DiGi =) Combining both, Siri and DiGi, are my best companions ;)

DiGi iPhone 4SURE I DO 1ST

2011-12-28T20:16:00.000+08:00

Like I said in this entry here, the first thing that 4SURE I DO 1ST with DiGi iPhone is to fully load my iPhone with the latest kids applications and programs that I've been wanting to download since many months ago. And all other latest hits on iTunes, which I don't think will burn my mom's account. :P I think maximum of $1.99 is still within her tolerable range. :P I guess no extra explanation needed here, because I bet, everyone is dying to download endless awesome applications and games available on Apple Store kan? It just a matter whether you own a perfect iPhone to do so or nope. Hehe...

Hmphhhh, how I wish to own this sleek gadget and be one of the cool kids running around with iPhone 4S!

DiGi iPhone 4SURE 4 ME

2011-12-28T20:12:00.000+08:00

Woahhhh!!

Of course Digi iPhone 4SURE 4 ME! I've been wanting to download so much kids applications and games from App Store but I can't do so because well, *ehem* I'm using mom's iPhone 3G. It's like a dinosour era kind of phone. Most often, I will get this remark, "only supported by iPhone 4" or sometimes by iPhone 3Gs or 4. Sighhhh, what a fun blocker la kan?.

But I know my dream will come true with Digi iPhone 4S. Adults been talking about this super canggih Dual-Core A5 Chip that makes browsing a wonderful experience ever. Unlike the one I'm using right now, it gets hang and kong very easily. -_____-" Not to mention the seven times faster graphic which just perfect for learning, and err, gaming. Hehehe...

I bet this must be very responsive, not like mom's, loading from one page to another is a total mental torture. You should have seen how my little brother smack-down mom's phone whenever he gets angry because the phone is not responding well to him. Very very bad.

Owh! Owh! This one that I'm currently using ahhh, I tell you, don't even have a video camera. So, with new HD video recording in iPhone 4S, I will surely be able to shoot stunning and entertaining videos for my parents to watch later. I absolutely love taking photos and recording videos but I don't get to do it so often because mom will scold me if I ever touch her camera (which claimed to be the most precious asset of her). Having said that, it will be real great to own a new phone with video recording ability as well ;)

Last but not least, this new uber cool phone came with its talking assistant residing in it named SIRI. Can you imagine talking to a phone as you would to a person? And it answers you! Even Adik Aiman can't respond to me very well because we are talking in two different languages from two different zones. But not with SIRI because I know, he can understand English perfectly and I believe he can pick-up my words just well. I shall talk more about this in my last post later :)

See? Nothing much that I require to make iPhone a perfect one for me. Super-owhsome performance, faster graphic, HD video recording and one new happy buddy named Siri. ^______^ Digi iPhone 4SURE 4 ME!

DiGi iPhone 4SURE MOST AFFORDABLE

2011-12-28T20:07:00.000+08:00

Yuhuuuu!

Hye, I'm Adam.

Yes, as the title stated (and so with the next following THREE entries) I am entering this contest and be in the running to win a spanking new iPhone 4S! Well, I am just 2 years old and obviously I don't have much money to splurge on this ribu-ribu-ribu-ringgit worth of iPhone. But I need a new iPhone so very badly because my mom's iPhone 3G is dying anytime soon. -______-

Hah! Can you believe that she is still using iPhone 3G in this era? People have at least moved to iPhone 4 or 3Gs at least, gosh! And the phone is just about the same age as me. 2.5 years old to be exact.

Or maybe she practically understand that another unnecessary monthly expenses (read: INSTALLMENT of NEW iPHONE) won't be very nice either to her or dad's pockets. She once told me that these days, everything comes in ratus-ratus price tag, and with all other high priority monthly expenses that my parents have to allocate for my little brother and me, I guess that kinda explains why mom is still carrying her almost kaput iPhone 3G in her bag.

But hey! Just in case if any other moms out there who is currently in the same shoes like my mom, I think I have found a cool ding-dong-bell solution! Saw it on the internet while browsing for my Wheel on the Bus videos. *I'm a techno savvy toddler maaaaaa*

Here, with Digi iPhone plans, everything is made possible now! Let's take iDiGi 88, your monthly bill will be as lower as RM55 yet you can still be the proud owner of a new sleek iPhone 4S! See? That doesn't cost you a ratus-ratus-ratus eye-popping bill like mom always said to me ;) Yeay!

Or maybe I should show this 4SURE MOST AFFORDABLE plan to my dad. Reason? The number is far from reaching RATUS (read: 100) and I believe dad will be able to absorb the monthly cost, maybe by reducing his cigarettes consumption everyday? ^______^

Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards 2011

2011-12-27T10:40:00.001+08:00

Ini namanya entri tertunggak. Orang lain dah lama update cerita, ShilaShower pula di tahap siput vavis transferring photos to hard disk, edit, watermark, nahhh pagi ni baru nak recall jalan cerita dua minggu lepas. Ahhh, running very slow at a snail pace. Kesian.

Overall, dinner mestilah best. Seumpama ulangan zaman pergi prom di MMU dahulu. T____T Eksaited buat baju, eksaited nak make-up, eksaited serba serbi lah.

Dapat duduk dekat meja no.21, bersama bloggers ternama lain. Hekhekhek. Depan lagiiii. :P Turut serta makan di meja yang sama adalah tuan punya belog; BuduDanBelacan, Ceeramoon, Viruspadu, Cik Epal, Teratakarmo dan Eyriqazz. Terima kasih letak I di meja best, sekurang-kurang tidak keras kejung di situ sebab tak kenal orang. Eyh, adalah kenal rapat seorang tuh, nama dia Pak Ngah Kown ^____^

Persembahan ok lah, tapi yang paling best from Harith Iskandar. Sakit perut gelak sakan. Lawak dia memang perli rakyat Malaysia jer memanjang, compare pulak dengan Singapore, but everything that he said was true. Especially the part melintas jalan raya, memang kerajaan buat jalan raya kat Malaysia untuk bagi rakyat dia lintas suka hati at any part of the road despite a busy highway, sebab jejantas yang ada tu sekadar nak berlindung melintas bila hari hujan. hehehe...So Malaysian kan?.

Lepas tu signal kereta hanya guna bila nak potong kereta lain dekat jalan raya, siap bagi lampu bagai, tapi time nak belok ker apa, takmau guna signal. That is what signal made for dekat kereta Malaysia. :P

Lagi best dia cakap, Malaysian like to mention the OBVIOUS. Seperti, you tengah makan and ada orang datang tanya, "Eyh, tengah makan ker?" Hahaha. Maybe lepas ni kena jawab, "Nope, I tengah tanam padi". Hihihi...

Makan? Sedap tapi tak sempat nak enjoy the foods sangat sebab sebok nak amik gambar. Baru makan separuh, pusing jap tengok show, snap photos, tau-tau tengok pinggan dah kena angkat. Keji betul.

Beautifulnara menang jugak akhirnya. Memang influential sangat lah ni sampai TM block terus blog kamu dari paparan pekerja nya. Tskkkk! Sekarang kalau nak baca gosip Cik Bedah, kena tunggu balik rumah. Tak syiok sungguh.

Saya duduk satu meja dengan tuan tanah Sueannajoe. Feeling ala duduk meja selebriti gitu. Meja sebelah pulak ada Redmummy, Beautifulnara and Hanis Zalikha. Itu yang rasa privilege coolness terbaik seating I kali nih. Hakhakhakhak.

Yang atas ni list blog parenting. Childhood 101 menang. Last time pun dia menang jugak. Sila baca sebab memang best. Ini baru namanya parenting belog yang worth reading tahu?

Ok dah, selesai ulasan yang tak seberapa tentang NAPBAS 2011. Sekarang mari lihat gambar dengan bloggers malam itu. ;)

Sueannajoe, ShilaShower, Redmummy, CikLilyPutih, Eyriqazz

Dengan MakDara and Lela. Lagi sorang tak sure nama -_____-" Ampunnn...

Dengan Si Femes tuan tanah BuduDanBelacan :)

Dengan Si Femes-Si Femes yang dok buat advertorial sama-sama; Zaimah and Ceera.

Dengan Anak Dara Geng Fesyen Femes; Cik Epal =)

Ini pun sama, geng buat advertorial Maxis :P CikLilyPutih

Nak kena bagitau nama kah? Terlalu femes dalam carian Google. Hanis Zalikha.

Geng Datin Femes. Hahahah. Madammondoq ;)

Ini, femes di belog, femes di Twitter jugak. Hehehe. Lela, Moon and Filla.

Kita kawan since sekolah rendah, sekarang sudah anak pulak. Fuhhh, banyaknyaaa pertambahan umur...

Eyh eyh..ada pulak ^____^

Orang penting Nuffnang; Nicholas :)

Ini lagi penting, hahaha. Datin Thara ~~Jaquelina.~~ hehe, Thara Sofian.

Ha, yang ni akhir sekali, Datin ShilaShower. Sekian terima kasih. :P

Laki I cakap, posing serupa Permaisuri dekat istana. Agagaga -_____-"

Cuti-cuti Cyberview Lodge Resort, Cyberjaya

2011-12-23T11:04:00.001+08:00

Muahahahha. Macam jauh sangat nak pergi cuti. Well, it was my husband yang sungguh baik hati booked kan bilik dekat Cyberview Lodge supaya Datin ShilaShower dapat bersiap dengan aman damai untuk ke ~~majlis tari menari WTH!~~ Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards last week. Event was held in Putrajaya Marriott and of course to get myself ready dekat Kepong and hadap LDP's Friday night mad traffic adalah life mental torture ever. So, laki I layankanlah diva-ness bini dia nak bersiap dekat area Putrajaya-Cyberjaya sahaja :P Siap amik cuti tu nak pergi Nuffnang dinner punya pasal. Over!

Ingat nak angkut my parents sekali so boleh tunggukan my two boys dekat hotel, but then my mom cakap, "tak payah, tinggal ja depa kat rumah" Wooohoooo! Seumpama dapat pi honeymoon sekali lagi bersama suami setelah tiga tahun kahwin. Ehemmm ehemmm...

So yeah, off we went to Cyberview berdua, check in bagaikan pasangan baru kahwin nak pi honeymoon, berdating bagai dekat Alamanda, pergi Nuffnang Awards berdua (yeah! I got plus one invitation, special tak haku? Hahaha) dan tibalah masa untuk pulang ke hotel. It was 15 minutes to 12.

But the night semacam tidak normal buat kami berdua. Tak normal lah, takda Adam bugging us for his bedtime story, takda Adam asking me to bacakan Alif-Ba-Ta before tido (ustaz tak anak kami?), takda Aiman screaming for God knows what, takda Aiman to punch on Ayah perut buncit, takda Aiman to berebut bantal, basically there was no bedtime battles AS USUAL. Kekosongan di situ.

Makanya, kami membuat keputusan untuk patah balik rumah Kepong and angkut both kids (Aiman dah tidur tapi Adam was wide awake) and it was 1 AM that time. Then patah balik Cyber sebab nak tidur dekat Cyberview Lodge jugak.

Barulah malam kami menjadi sempurna kembali :) XL + M + S + XS size people on a king sized bed, is such a pure bliss for me.

But well, of course the very next day was a full episode of Ultraman Adam melawan Raksaksa Maman! And our honeymoon story bertukar menjadi monstermoon with Aiman Haris. Our breakfast session sungguhlah menguji keimanan. Sepatutnya, I should have gave that waitress extra tip for cleaning the mess that Aiman made, repetitively. Kesian tau. Lepas tu dah balik baru teringat, Aiman ada masukkan pieces of pancakes dalam container letak sugar, salt semua tuh -_____- Kalau dia orang tak perasan, habislah dah berkulat by now x___X

Adam nak sangat mandi swimming pool, but with his previous records of hospitalization, kami buat hati kering tak bagi mandi. Siap tipu dia cakap air kotor sebab air bukan kaler blue. Sekali dia jawab, "Tak, air tu bukan kotorlah. Itu lantai dia. Air dia bersih" -______-" Swimming pool dia kan ala-ala beach, memanglah tak buat kaler biru macam pool kat hotel yang selalu dok tengok tu. Ingat senang ker nak tipu Adam? He has a brain that works 24/7, sila jangan menipu, buruk padahnya.

Aiman on the other hand adalah sangat gembira boleh berlari merata taman. Like he just got a total freedom selepas dilepaskan dari kandang. Jatuh berkali-kali pun tak ada hal, darah pun tak ada hal, bangun balik sambung lari. Reseptor sakit dia macam turn off hari tu. Kalau Adam, boleh buat drama umpama nak telefon 999 mohon bantuan kecemasan. :P

So begitulah cerita konon-konon nak honeymoon laki bini tapi tak menjadi. Hati tak cukup tabah bila terkenang anak berdua di rumah. Sebab I selalu bagitau Adam and Aiman, "Kita family, mesti duduk sama-sama. Pergi mana sama-sama" But obviously, Adam selalu jer tinggal Mama, Ayah and Adik sebab dia ramai lagi life's Very Important Persons. T_____T

: : Adam trying to figure out macam mana nak masuk rumah ni, dia kata "orang buat pintu dia kecik sangat, macam mana Adam nak masuk?" Suka hati hang ja. While Aiman selamat dah cabut lampu lip-lap-lip-lap meri krismes tuh. Anak sapa niiiiii : :

Last but not least, rupa bilik Cyberview Lodge untuk reference kot ada sapa-sapa nak pi bercuti jugak. Nalaaaa punya besaq. Kereta park depan bilik, tadak hal kalau mai anak beranak nak angkut toto masuk bilik. Haha!

Letter Blocks

2011-12-20T13:32:00.000+08:00

Ehehehe, product baru keluaran Syarikat ShilaShower. ^_____^

Sesuai untuk birthday, baby shower, akikah, wedding or buat deco dekat bilik anak-anak :) Eyh, tiba-tiba while writing this I dapat ilham pulak, nak buat letter blocks from A to Z dekat Aiman, baru bright cerah meriah dia nak belajar ABC. Aiman tu kalau benda dull dia pun tak teringin nak tengok :P

Price belum ada specific, but this one yang Lin ordered, harga RM12 each block. Styrofoam square ni beli dekat bakery supplies, tu mahal kot. Dah try cari dekat kedai barang kahwin, tapi tak ada square shape in this size :P

Nak order? Macam biasa direct your email to shilashower@gmail.com but for time being, self pick up dulu ye. ;)

Style4Mama - Your Elegant Nursing Apparels :)

2011-12-20T11:34:00.002+08:00

Calling all breastfeeding moms, or anyone who knows one, kindly sebar-sebarkan this :)

Introducing new online shop yang boleh custom-made your nursing apparels according to your size requirement.

Style4Mama

In fact, their first product of nursing shirt pun sangat cantik. Guna English cotton in paisley design. Detailing baju pun cantik. So not the typical boring colored nursing shirt *which you know how* kan? Hehehe...

Not only that, they are making several opening types for their ready-to-wear baju and you boleh pilih tshirt pattern mana yang sesuai untuk breastfeed baby. Good kan? Like this Paisley Purple, the opening type is neckline access. Sebab usually ready made nursing shirt ni, opening type dia standard je and you don't have much options and tak semestinya selesa untuk semua orang. Yerlah, baby kan minum macam-macam gaya, kalau kena gaya shaolin soccer macam Aiman, tak jenuh nak selak baju? Hehehe...

As for materials and designs, I believe they will upload more pics soon. Sebab kedai pun baru launch pagi nih, hihihi. I am so excited to write a post about it sebab finally, ada tempat buat nursing shirts yang stylo sikit. You know what I mean. Breastfeeding and big boobs issue T___T, but that doesn't mean you have to hide in over-sized clothing, and that doesn't mean you have to give up on style, hehehe...

Now, go favourite Style4Mama and stay tune for more updates nanti :) Meanwhile, mungkin boleh pi tanya jenis-jenis baju ka, jenis-jenis kain ka, fashion-fashion ka camtu lah.

Sale! English Cotton

Ok, ni semua gambar from PhatDivaMama. Puas hati tengok, cerah meriah! Tapi lepas dah view seluruh album terus I terfikir, "where did I get the energy to prepare such party dalam masa sebulan?" One man show, terkagum dengan diri sendiri sekejap. Hehehe...

But of course, I am very thankful to Kak Lisha sebab dia yang tolong designkan segala benda yang I nak buat for Aiman's party. Design dah cantik, buat apa pun lepas tu cantik :)

Sudah lama tak jenguk FB laki sendiri so hari ni rasa nak pi jengah lah tengok, kot ada aweks dok berkeliaran ka apa kat situ. Almaklumlah, Twitter penuh dengan adiks-adiks yang dok add Pak Ngah Kown tu kan. Hekhekhek...

Tiba-tiba nampak ada update dekat family members tuh.

Hangpa nampak dak? Dia nak tambah DUA anak lagi. Hat dok ada dua ni pun dah sakit kepala berkuntau dalam rumah, apatah lagi EMPAT. Tambah anak tu memang la nak, tapi laki I nampaknya lebih advance, siap dah bagi nama bagai, ada FB lagi. :P Apa-apa pun, kena tunggu Aiman besar and faham bahasa, sebab sekarang ni Aiman rules the house. Serba serbi kena ikut undang-undang Aiman Haris. Owh kena tunggu settle pindah rumah dulu tahun depan jugak. :P

Tapi bila scroll bawah lagi, Norman Muhammad - HUSBAND? Uhhhhhhhh, berkongsi kasih memang konfem dah tak rela. Berkongsi pulak dengan lelaki *I is pengsan*. ~____~

Chinese Zodiac

2011-12-06T15:46:00.001+08:00

My husband went to hairdresser yesterday and while having his haircut, he chit chatted with this amoi about works, current issues, gossips and later kids.

So my husband told her, "Saya sudah ada 2 anak tau. 2 tahun and 1 tahun"

And in excitement that lady replied, "Haiyoh!! Itu anak 1 tahun mesti banyak garang wohhh. Tahun lepas tahun tiger maaa"

Haha! Yes true. No wonderlah our little Mr. Incredible is behaving such way, anak tahun Harimau rupanya.

And out of boredom tadi, I googled for Chinese Zodiac and it brings me to such an amazing results about people characteristics according to the respective animal year. Ok, just don't take it seriously, anggaplah macam personality studies macam Dr. Fadzillah Kamsah dok buat. Hehehe...

Aiman Haris: Metal Tiger - Year 2010

Sudah lah tiger, metal pulak. Patutlah keras satu macam. -____-

The Metal element gives the Tiger its sharpness in action and speed of thought (Aiman!). Tigers born in the Metal year like to stand out in a crowd (Aiman!). With an inspiring assertiveness and competitive demeanor, they determine their goals and then do anything necessary to achieve them (Aiman!). This good-looking character sometimes suffers from mood swings and temper tantrums (Aiman!). The Tiger can be known to jump to conclusions or to act too quickly without weighing the options or understanding the consequences (Aiman!). This is a flaw Tigers must learn to curb.

A quickness and an alert intelligence make Tigers fast learners. Tigers need a challenge (Aiman!). Most Tigers are natural born leaders who perform best knowing they are working towards positions of power and influence (this explains why Abang yang selalu follow Adik). Tiger babies and children are cheerful children with a zest and passion for life that ignites their curious nature. Boys will and girls alike will enjoy the competitiveness and athleticism sports require. From an early age, Tiger children can’t pass on a dare or a challenge (Aiman!). Intelligent and friendly, Tiger children carry a curiosity about life and their environment (Aiman!). In class, they are apt to enjoy and do better at subjects that give them the ability and creative freedom to express themselves.

Ok, that is very much of Aiman Haris Bin Mohd Fakhruddin.

Now let's see what this Chinese zodiac got to say about Adam Haris.

Adam Haris: Earth Ox - 2009

The most reliable and diligent Oxen belong to this collection of Oxen. The Earth element balances many of their negative characteristics. These Oxen are show good judgement, a good characteristic for successful financial dealings. Other people tend to look up to Earth Oxen because of their reliability, sincerity and their modest ambitions. They are willing to tackle the workload when it become overbearing for others and are loyal and compassionate with family and friends (Adam!).

Oxen are not the most sociable people and tend not to mix easily in social gatherings. Instead, they would rather be at home, enjoying their privacy and anonymity (Adam!). Children born under the sign of the Ox are quiet and amenable. They develop into solid, independent, resourceful children (Adam!), and are happiest when left to entertain themselves (Adam!). If interrupted, provoked or forced to do something against their will, they are likely to pout or show themselves, despite their audience (Adam!). Generally, Ox-born children are shy (Adam!) and at school, subjects with a constructive appeal will be of the most interest to them. They like art and music as well. They are creative children who enjoy sports too. They are respectful (Adam!), polite (Adam!), hard-working, children…something their parents take very seriously.

Ok, this is quite a lot of Adam too. T___T

I found it fun to read about this type of characteristic and personality stuff but as always, never paid too much attention to it. :P And sometimes I wonder what they have done to come up with all this amusing findings yet very much true about each zodiac year.

P/S: Ini bahan bacaan ringan, bukan suruh percaya buat pegangan. Apa beza hang baca ini dengan baca apa yang Dr Azizan cakap? Sama bukan? Manusia jugak, cuma beza bangsa. Cheers!

Jake & the Neverland Party @Marmalade, Publika

2011-12-05T11:59:00.000+08:00

Thank you Disney Junior for inviting my little family to Jake & the Neverland Pirates Family Party that was held last Saturday at Marmalade Cafe, Publika Solaris Dutamas. Despite having to wake up very early for the 9.30am morning party, we truly had a blast; from a perfectly organized pirates party *as always* to super fun activities and owh scrumptious pirates' menu of course!

But ada sikit penat after playing the treasure hunt game. Haha! Tho it was such a clear cut hunt with only 5 clues to be resolved, but treasure hunt in heels and a kid tagging along, phewww, that kind of a big challenge to me. I think I've ruined my metabolism rate to age 40 lah. Tskkk :'(

Nevermind, because here to my excitement ehehe, my eldest was the 2nd runner up in the Pirates Photo contest held on that very day! So he won himself a treasure box filled with cool pirates items inside, inclusive Jake & Neverland beach ball which later Aiman hog the toy all for himself. Kesian, pirate got defeated by his own baby brother. -_____-"

Honestly, any events held by Disney Junior, I'm always excited and looking forward to it :P So harap ada lagi lepas nih. :)

: : With Siti and Azza : :

: : Airyll won the grand prize! So ini satu Mr.Smee (CH trusted assistant) and Captain Hook! : :

: : Love this pic :P Ini baru anak dua, I wonder how does it looks like kalau anak 5-6? Hehehe : :

More on added sugars in children's diet :)

2011-12-02T11:30:00.000+08:00

Advertorial. Please scroll down for latest updates :)

Hello mommies and daddies! Do you guys remember this entry where I mentioned about meeting Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) and got the privilege to meet them personally and clarify my doubt on added sugars in children's diet? So today, I am going to write more about my short discussion on added sugars that I had with one of the experts during the event.

Like what I said above, due to time constraint, here is the only question that I got to ask Dr. Monro, "How to reduce added sugars intake in my children's diet?" as this has always been my major concern since the added sugars issue being raised out. And his reply? Haha quite a long time for me to remember (come on, expert mesti explain banyak-banyak right?) but here to what I considered as important notes and key points.

First, to look out on my child's diet and to list out from which source that possibly added sugars came from. Hmpphhh, the fact that he usually eat home cooked meals sahaja, nampak macam added sugars (the unnecessary ones) mostly from his growing up milk lah. -_____-" Biscuits, bread and cereal ada jugak, tapi kadang-kadang whereas candy, chocolate and ice cream is not really into their interest, especially Adam Haris. Weird eyh my son?

So, again and again, please check on your kids food intake and growing up milk labels. I know, label reading can sometimes be so annoying especially when the info printed in very small font size or sometimes just so confusing to read everything on every side of the packaging. And please, don't go and scan for the word sugar on it as highly likely that you won't find it.

Ini namanya sugar trap because they use other names to substitute nama tak glemer sugar into something named sucrose, corn syrup solids and glucose syrup solids (ini yang most commonly used lah). Standard natural lactose level in milk is about 11-12gm per serve – anything above this indicated the addition of added sugars in the ingredients. Please remember the names yeah as it might be very useful bila nak check kids growing up milk label nanti.

Second, select other wholesome foods as main source of carbohydrates and NOT from added sugars. White bread, pasta, banana, apple lebih bagus than consuming added sugars semua nih. Most parents have this idea of "bagi saja lah susu, ada banyak carbo jugak, boleh kenyang, senang"

No, you are wrong. Carbo memang tinggi but mostly of the carbo portion is added sugars and it has no nutritional value. Empty calories tau tak? At the end if these calories are not used they are being stored in the kid's body jadi extra fat and lead to unhealthy weight gain. See? Instead of resorting for high carbo growing up milk, cari lah carbo lain yang lebih baik seperti roti or pasta, at least ada good and healthy nutritional value.

So, it's your call parents whether or not to start checking on your children's growing up milk. I dah check and surprisingly, memang tinggi pun, so now tengah fikir plan nak ubah slow-slow. Aiman particularly :P Maybe start mixing between brands dulu ker, tengok macam mana. :)

Anak-anak, memang macam-macam yang mak ayah tok nenek serba concern kan :P

Ini hanyalah komen peribadi, yang mungkin berbeza pendapat dari orang lain. So baca ala-ala chill dah la, don't take it as an expert review. Takdak celah mananya yang I nak expert review movie cinematography whatsoever. :P

I've read the book before but as many other novel based movies, janganlah berharap movie akan menjadi sedetail novel kan? Movie 2 jam lebih ja, novel can sometimes take sampai 1-2 hari baru nak habis. Even kalau hadap baca sekali zaasss pun boleh amik setengah sehari. Referring to good books lah.

Penguat jalan cerita sudah semestinya Aaron Aziz. :P Sungguhlah, tak tipu. Cuba juga membayangkan kalau hero tukar dengan orang lain, tetap tak sama aura dia dengan Seth Tan nih. Hehehe...Kalau bukan sebab Aaron Aziz, mana mungkin panggung semalam penuh dengan mak orang saja. Kuikuikui...

Dialog ada lah dua tiga part yang macam "potong-lah" macam the earlier part Izzah said, "Ya Allah ampunkan saya" which usually kita bahasakan Aku. Tapi tak kisah sangat pun, mungkin agaknya lain orang lain bahasa? Hehe...

Watak Lisa Surihani tak cukup annoyinglah. Hahaha. I was expecting watak tu macam "herrghhhh! rasa nak tampar jer dia nih" like that, tapi si Mila nih, dalam mengamuk dia pun tetaplah cantik dan comel. Comellah yang banyak nya, so tak rasa annoying sangat. Tapi mungkin watak tu dijadikan untuk separa annoying jer in the same nak kesian jugak sebab she tak tau kekasih gelap Hariz ialah Izzah. Maybe lah.

Suka jugak part yang Mila mengamuk ingat Wafi ada skandal dengan laki dia. Ya Allah, hang maki orang pun comel jugak lah Lisa oih. Plus, baju yang dia pakai untuk scene adalah cantik. And part yang dia cakap "Surprise! Surprise!" pun comel jugak.

Tangkap leleh? Hahahha. Malas cakaplah. Bawak jer tissue banyak-banyak maka lebih afdal. Kena pulak time Abang Hariz menitis air mata sebab rindu banyak sangat dekat Izzah, sobsss sobsss, tak dapat nak ditahan lagi. :'( Hehehe, over jap.

Maya Karin? Ok lah, I didn't expect much pun tapi bukanlah kayu sangat macam filem Waris Jari Hantu. After all Maya ni cantiklah, bare face pun tetap cantik :) Laki I dah cancel deal dia, hari dia cakap kalau Lisa Surihani mau kat dia, baru dia nak kawen lagi. Hahaha. Pastu si Lisa dah pi kat Yusri, then dia tukaq pi kat Neelofa pulak, konon-konon junior MRSM lah dengan Abang Presiden. Choyyy!! Semalam dia tukaq, takmau Neelofa, nak Maya Karin pulak. T_____T *laki sapa lah niiii*

Patut, tudung Izzah tu pakai la biar kemas sikit. Takdak orang dekat scene kot yang pandai nak pakaikan tudung dia betul-betul. Bukan nak suruh pakai terbelit leher macam fashionista tuh, tapi cukup la kalau nampak kena pada muka. Sebab some tu macam errr pelik kot. :P

Kalau nak tukar heroin, tak tau sapa yang layak. Tapi kalau bagi pilih, I nak Fazura, hehehe. Sebab dia natural cantik :)

Suka scene Ombak Villa, macam peaceful sangat kawasan tuh.

Tapi tak suka, kenapa filem Melayu, kalau watak Datin ja mesti nak overdress? Dengan rambut kembang semacam baru lepas keluar microwave rosak. Tskkk...Lagi-lagi masa watak Datin yang si Mila punya mak. Eye shadow nya kauuuu, rasanya Datin kat Malaysia nih ada ja yang cool-cool kot.

Julia Ziegler, orang kiri kanan duk mengata time scene dia, "makkkk, buncitnya perut dia". Haha. Elok I tak perasan, dengar orang sebelah komen, mulalah nak survey sana sini badan Julia :P Lesson, badan tak berapa slim fit, mungkin tak patut pakai baju melekap-melekap kat badan tuh.

Watak sentap-sentap jiwa pun banyak jugak. Time Izzah kena marah, kena tolak masa dalam bilik air, time Izzah kena herdik dia perempuan murahan and ada lah lagi yang herghhh, kasihannya kalau sapa yang kena di alam nyata.

Watak romantik pun banyak, lagi-lagi time Izzah tidur kat Hariz yang gagah perkasa. Ekekekeke...Mesti ramai yang dok feeling-feeling dalam hall tuh, hihihi...

Aaron ni memang bagus lah, dari watak ganas nak dera bini, baran macam Abang Long tu sampai ke tahap menitis air mata sebab rindu bini teramat sangat, semua kawtim dia buat. Tu yang hot selling gamaknya movie nih.

Overall jalan cerita? Tak kan nak buat sinopsis? Nanti rakyat jelata marah I bagi spoiler. Tapi suka dinyatakan di sini, ia adalah happy ending. Ala, tapi tu dah boleh agak bila tengok trailer pun kan. Cerita lebih kurang novel, sikit-sikit saja ubah itu pun bukan significant changes.

Cuma terfikir, cerita ni depa nak sambung lagi ker? Watak Datuk Sufiah tu tak mati pun macam dalam buku. Mila pulak said to Izzah, "mungkin satu masa kita akan bertemu lagi", watak Pak Taha tu melesap tah ke mana, kira nya orang-orang yang nak menyusahkan hidup Izzah all alive. So mungkin boleh buat sambungan lagi. Kot? Tapi sila amik Aaron Aziz jugak as Hariz, kalau tukar orang lain, tak tentu lagi boleh booommm ker tak. :P

Conclusion? Ada harapan I tengok lagi. Hahaha! Tahap orang yang hanya gemarkan movie releks macam ni, I bagi 4 stars. Tapi kalau macam kawan den berdua yang kerja tengok movie, lepas tu kerah otak nak bagi rating macam Shamsul Qamar and Addy Fazly tu, mungkin depa bagi 1 bintang ja kot.-____-"

Gambar scene-scene romantik :P

Aiman & Playschool - Random Babbles

2011-12-01T16:59:00.001+08:00

: : Ini bukan Kylie Minogue, ini KYLIE MIMAN heheh : :

We have officially registered Aiman dekat Kiddies Patch Desa Park City. Ayah decided to absorb the freaking expensive monthly fee demi kasih sayang untuk anakanda tercinta. Tho I'm a bit macam "alaaa...alaaa" sebab bukan Islamic Montessori, tapi pilihan kami buat masa ini terlalu limited. First, not many playschool + nursery within our area yang nak accept kids below 2 and Aiman will only be 17 months by Jan 2012. Second, adalah few taska yang I dah pergi tengok tapi sesungguhnya kawasan taska sungguh tak convincing. One of it, siap berlalang bagai and ada kayu2 lama dekat compound, bahaya ok? Tapi ada jer parents hantar situ. :P

I don't mind tak posh looking ke apa, tapi 1 teacher over 10 of Aiman? Herghhh, mencari pasal namanya itu. And taska dekat area Taman Ehsan bukan nya rumah banglo ker semi D and not even double story, semua rumah single story. So boleh imagine tak 30 - 40 kids mixing up in one small house? That's a mental torture untuk Aiman.

The thing is, I know my parents memang sangat penat bila jaga both Adam and Aiman (my dad particularly) whereas my husband and me, masing-masing berkerja juga and not the type 8.30 masuk 5.30 sharp boleh balik. Mana nak jaga Adam, Aiman lagi, buat kerja lain lagi, so we decided to hantar Aiman to nursery tapi dengan syarat, envinronment mesti conducive for him, dari segi nak main, nak explore and etc.

Tho we are not looking for a extravagant one tapi kalau boleh biar lah home like sikit. Sadly, taska yang ada, I tell you, tahap berserabut nya lagi teruk dari keadaan rumah kita orang bila ditunggang terbalikkan oleh Adam and Aiman. So do you think we have the heart to leave Aiman dekat tempat yang lebih serabut dari rumah? Of course not.

Then we found Kiddies Patch and that's the only place yang I boleh bagi OK as a green light. Deep inside, macam tak sampai hati nak tinggalkan Aiman dekat orang yang dia tak pernah kenal, new friends and teachers, tak ada Mama, Ayah, Abg Adam, Mak Tok and Tok Wan but what other choices that we have pun? Career kena jaga jugak, sumber cari makan nama nya tuh. Tapi ok lah, sekurang-kurangnya Aiman bukan berpanas bersempit, tidur pun dalam cot, kawasan lapang, menu makan ok lah cuma ada satu I tak berkenan, "Mi Goreng" hahaha. Serious. Tapi I boleh abaikan itu, I'm not going to be real fussy on this nanti karang langsung tak ada nursery. Maybe hari yang menu dia I tak suka, I will bekalkan foods untuk Aiman makan. They are ok with home cooked foods, nanti dia orang panaskan saja. So settle that part.

Sebab ada sorang baby tu, mak dia bekalkan foods hari, siap bagi list pukul berapa minum susu bagai, what to do and what not, complete lah. Tapi teacher cakap, after 3 months, budak tu takmau ikut dah schedule mak dia, hahahaha. Mestilah dia nak join apa kawan-kawan makan ngan main. Hehehe...

Eyh, tapi bila fikir-fikir, tahap cerewet mak nenek I boleh tahan jugak. Hahaha. Abes I gi geledah dapur Kiddies Patch nak tau camna depa handle bottles and formula. Akakakaka! Lupa nak check on steriliser, tapi tak lah kot tu, tapi they are using proper bottle detergent to wash water and milk bottles, hehehe, bukan guna Axion ke apa :P

Then I dah check authorization untuk pick up kids jugak macam mana. Good lah, quite a strict measure taken. Kena bagi gambar and photocopy IC untuk orang yang I authorize boleh pick up Aiman. So sapa-sapa yang claim nak pickup Aiman, tapi dekat form I tak authorize, so tak boleh pickup. So tak risau sangat jugak that part.

Tapi semalam, I just found out Brainy Bunch nak buka dekat Wangsa Maju. TETAPI, nursery dalam shop lot area. -_____-" Potong betullah. Fee murah banyak dari Kiddies Patch. RM650 per month for full day, to be paid on monthly basis. Tapi shop lot? Berapa besar sangat kot kawasan dia? Knowing Aiman who needs kawasan jajahan yang luas, mungkin dia akan stress. So hmphhh, biar lah dulu kot?

Sesungguhnya total cost KP agak mahal, boleh amik maid dah kot. Tapi nak bela maid nih, risau dia buat perangai, kita orang yang serabut otak. Plus, dah tak ada empty room dalam rumah my parents kalau nak ditambah satu penghuni lagi, maka dengan itu tak payah fikir nak ber-maid bagai. And the fact that my family memang tak pernah guna khidmat maid Indon, so I pun takdak lah macam nak sangat maid. I rather let the house bersepah ker apa, dari nak bela maid seorang. Tak kuasa lah.

How now? Nak hantar anak pergi nursery pun dah berat hati and itu baru Aiman, yang terkenal dengan jiwa gagah perkasa dia. Macam mana la rasa bila nak hantar anak pergi belajar overseas? Lagi pulak kalau anak perempuan. Hehehe...Tapi ni maybe short term plan je, maybe one year jer kot. Once Aiman hits 3 years old, boleh pergi proper sekolah yang half day basis tu. :)

Adam? Tak plan nak bagi dia sekolah awal, dia tu boleh home school ja. Pergi sekolah awal-awal, I rasa dia boring jer kot? ABC long time ago dah kawtim, same goes to 1-40. Now dah pandai Alif-Ba-Ta. Yeay! And doa makan. And doa tidur. :) Cakap? Nothing to worry, boleh jadi lawyer. Jangan lawan dia, nanti dia pangkah, itu jam jugak kita checkmate!

Apa yang you all rasa bila first day tinggal anak dekat nursery? :'(

See the different in them? Satu boleh duduk diam-diam makan dengan beretika. Satu lagi, haiyoh, kalau boleh dia nak bersila atas meja. -_____-"

Adam ada sikit difficulties bila suruh senyum. Confuse how senyum should be. So I dapat this pic and take it as a precious one. :)

Si mata bulat. Banyak amoi berkenan. Maybe sebab Chinese mata sepet kot, this boy mata terbuntang bulat, tu banyak yang berkenan :P
