Travelling Alone with An Infant

I have just got back from SIL's wedding reception in KL, it was a very short trip considering I reached KL at 4 am!!yesterday(after a filthy delay) and now i am bound for Kk at 630 am, blogging on board :)

I did not want to go to where my flight was delayed from 810pm - 1 am, i better try to get over with it and make some useful entry instead.

After raya homecoming last month, this is my 2ndtime travelling alone with Ayra, so I would love to share some travelling tips with 1st time travelers who has to travel alone with infant. And I expect some tips from you guys too!

Always prepare beforehand what is essential as follows:

1. Milk (ready & stock at least 3 extra servings)o lupa nk mention this tips are applied for flights less than 3 hrs journey
2. Diapers (at least 3 pieces)
3. Clothes to change ( 2 pieces)
4. Ointment
5. Mini termos for hot water ( for FM mommy)
6. Lots of napkins
7. Wet tissues
8. Try to avoid flights at odd hours that mess up with your child'sleeping time, she will be cranky and troublesome
9. Avoid hand carry luggage, trust me minimize what you have in your hands! You wish you have 3 hands by now! (my handbag can contain all of item 1-7, so try to carry big handbag)
10.It's better to travel with stroller than carrier
11. In the flight, if you have no basinet, try to identify vacant seats in a row and change in the mid of the flight
12. Make sure your baby is in her new diaper right before the flight
13. Do not forget earplugs, if you do, ask you baby to suck on milk upon taking off and landing
14. Dress up practically. Wear your most comfortable outfit and shoes, Don't pull off a posh spice unless you have an entourage of nannies after you! If possible, try to wear top with pocket so that you have easy access to your ic and boarding pass
15. Try to choose aisle seat.
16. Lastly, pray that you have a considerate passenger beside you!:)

P/s: A well behaved baby is a bonus!!

Of Luck: Bad and Good

Thought it was a normal day not until discover his car had been hit and run. His stationery car was severely dented, crushed beside the hood,at the tyre frame. We were shocked and at the same time furious, how despicable would a sane human being actually did that. So, b approached the guards to seek for their assistance to find the culprit. Meanwhile, we were always in the watch to look for cars with dent. Kalau nak kata perbuatan khianat, it really looked like hit by a car, and I don't think anyone would sacrifice their car to sabotage. 

Anyways, that evening, after returning from work, I parked at my usual parking spot when I was somehow, miraculously had my eyes locked on the Hilux next to me. I took a very close corner towards the parking that's why I could see the bumper very closely. I noticed there was scratch and very2 small dent at the bumper. Sooo, bring it on, my instinct strongly told me this was the one, this person hit B's car. I played a little bit of CSI, 

1. the paint color scratch on the bumper matches B's car.

2.The level of the bumper nicely fit the dent at B's car.

3. The position of the car and where B parked the night before was perfect to cause the accident

So, we decided to assume he/she is the one, so what we did is to leave a note on his/her car sounded something like this:

"Assalamualaikum (because she/he has support Palestin sticker) ,

Jika kamu ada terlanggar kereta KANCIL malam tadi, mohon dapat hubungi 01******* secepat mungkin. Sekian terima kasih,"

-Hamba Allah-

But we received no call, later next day, evening, B caught the car owner, but from our house window, she was a female, when she got out from her car, she approached B's car and examined the dent. Logically, if she didn't do it, she won't do that and she would call us to deny.

We got which unit she stays and knocked on the door right after she went into her house, but SHE DID NOT WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR!!! Bang! It's confirmed! She is the one, another dead give away is, her car cushion is the same set with her curtain!!!

We were so close to making police report when we received a call from a guy very late that night. He agreed to pay us and he claimed he is the boyfriend,(whatevs) and all were settled after that! :)

On a different note, on the 12 of Sept, Ayra turns 4 Months! So a little celebration for her! To date, she is adding new skills to her milestone, twisting, proning and grabbing things ! :)

Wasiat untuk Menantu

Guys, 

Attached is the Wasiat from my FIL to his new SIL. Tearjerker indeed!

WASIAT UNTUK ANAKANDA HAFEEZ

Anakandaku,

Hari ini hari bersejarah untukmu,
Kau telah diijab kabulkan dengan anak perempuan ayah,
Kini ayah serahkan puteri ayah sebagai amanah
Oleh itu terimalah anak ayah seadanya.
Terimalah dengan hati yang penuh reda.

Hiasilah hidupnya dengan hasanah,

Pandulah cintanya menuju Jannah

Berlemah lembutlah jika kau menasihatinya,

Kerana sesungguhnya lemah lembut adalah hikmah yang paling baik,

Berilah kasih sayangmu kepadanya nescaya dia akan membalas kasih sayangmu.

Anakanda Hafeez,

Pastikan aurat isterimu terpelihara ketika keluar rumah,

tidak berhias dan berbau-bauan kepada bukan mahramnya.

kerana jika auratnya terdedah kau akan ditanya oleh Allah SWT

di akhirat nanti.

Berilah nafkah zahir dan batin sekadar kemampuanmu,

kerana setiap ringgit yang kau gunakan untuk keluargamu merupakan sedekah disisi Allah SWT.

Carilah rezeki yang halal kerana keluar  bekerja mencari nafkah seumpama berjihad dijalan Allah SWT.

Berikanlah ilmu agama pada isterimu,

Jika kau tidak mampu ajaklah dia ke masjid supaya ada guru yang mendidiknya.

Anakanda Hafeez,

Kau telah terpilih menjadi nakhoda bahtera kehidupanmu,

Maka teruskan perjalananmu dengan berhati-hati supaya tidak tersesat diperjalanan,

Jika tersalah haluan kembalilah kepangkal jalan.

Ambillah panduan al-Quran dan sunnah Nabi-Nya

nescaya kau tidak akan sesat selama-lamanya.

Jauhkan daripada bisikan syaitan dan nafsu amarahmu

kerana kedua-duanya boleh menyebabkan kau lari daripada rahmat Allah SWT.

Hidup berumah tangga tidak sama semasa bujang,

kini kau perlu berkongsi segala-galanya.

Ranjau, onak dan duri perlu diharungi bersama.

Banyakkan bersabar dan bertenang dalam kau membuat keputusan,

jangan mudah berkeras dengan pendapat sendiri, banyakkan berbincang kerana sesungguhnya bersyura banyak menfaatnya.

Anakanda Hafeez,

Bersikap tegas dan lemah-lembut terhadap isterimu kerana sesungguhnya kaum wanita itu dijadikan dari tulang rusuk dan  luruskannlah dengan perlahan dan apabila tidak diluruskan, ia sentiasa bengkok selama-lamanya.

Berilah pujian terhadap isterimu kerana wanita suka dipuji dan  berilah hadiah ketika menyambut hari kelahirannya demi mengeratkan kasih sayang.

Nabi SAW sering memberi hadiah kepada isteri-isteri baginda.

Anakandaku Hafeez,

Laut tidak sentiasa tenang, ada pasang surutnya.

Begitu juga kehidupan berumah tangga, adakala gembira ada kalanya bergelora.

Jika kau dapati isterimu menderhakaimu,

maka berilah nasihat yang baik kepadanya,

Jika tidak berkesan pisahkan tempat tidurmu,

Jika masih tidak berhasil maka pukullah sekadar mengingatkannya bukan untuk mencederakannya.

Carilah pendamai yang baik , bertolak ansurlah kerana tidak rugi jika kau mengalah dalam perkara-perkara kecil.

Sesungguhnya Allah merahmati  suami yang sabar dan tenang mengatasi krisis rumah tangganya.dan mengelakkan perceraian.

Ku kenali puteriku berakhlak mulia

Ku kenali puteriku tekun beragama

Jangan cintanya kau persia

Cinta yang kau tawarkan penuh bahagia

Jangan nanti ada cinta yang dikhianati

Anak isteri terasa sepi

Anakandaku,

Berjanjilah sengan syarat ta’liq

Jika tiada lagi cinta ikhlas

Bebaskan puteriku

Sebaiknya seperti ianya diserahkan
 

Anakandaku

Ayah sentiasa mendoakan kesejahteraanmu sekeluarga insya Allah berkekalan hingga bertemu di syurga.

Oleh itu jauhkan dirimu dan ahli keluargamu daripada seksaan api neraka.

Doa ayah untuk kamu berdua : “ Semoga Allah menghimpunkan segala kebaikan untuk kamu berdua, memberkati kamu berdua dan semoga Allah meningkatkan darjat keturunan kamu berdua menjadi pembuka rahmat, sumber ilmu dan hikmah serta pemberi rasa aman bagi umat “

Barakallahuma Iffah-Hafeez Akad Nikah

Alhmadulillah, my SIL is finally married to the love of her life, the fine event took place at our home in Putatan, and the reception was held on the next day at Sinar Mustika, the same place where I got married last year! KLMJ betul.

SIL is the sweetest bride I have ever seen, carrying simplicity in her own way, but not void in the gorgeousness department. She looked happy, calm and heavenly!

The highlight of the event of course not a few advice from Abah, of which I weeped myself. It's not hard to hold a wedding in a very humble and Islamic way, berkat..

This SIL of mine is a rare type of lady to be found nowadays, I keep telling that to my husband. She is sweet, smart, beautiful, too good to be true! :) Hope she finds her rights in the man she has chosen and they bring goodness out of each other, for she deserves better than the best!

*Reception entry will come later!

Travelling Alone

Since long leave is impossible for B, so he had returned to KK earlier. So it was officially my 1st time travelling alone with Ayra, my, only God knows how anxious I am prior to the trip, how am I gonna handle a 6kg add on? Huhu, but I was wrong, it was a lot easier than I thought, Ayra behaved and that actually assisted the whole situation. Looking forward to more us trip in the future(sbb B's leave is useless to be argued on hehe)

Ayra & Mommy go pinky

One hue missed the list! It's pink! But too bad, daddy is not around to don the color, so it's only Ayra & Mommy lah! hehe

 

Raya oh yeah!

Salaaam, I bet everyone is still carried away with the Eid Spirit, me too. Big sis and b had already resumed their routine leaving me, Ayra and my parents in Kuching! How can!This year, it is my turn to celebrate in Kuching. I pre-warned b about Sarawakian 'rules' celebrating raya, one of them, full suited Baju Melayu for at least 7 days, ahahh. B being submissive, prepared himself (according to him) the most baju Melayu he ever had for Hari Raya, so we had a colorful raya as a result. he, Surely we had fun, how's yours?

taupe

Grey & yellow

On the 2nd day of raya, the plan was initially to visit our wedding OP to re-print some of our wedding pics, he ended up giving us complimentary family photo! Yeeehaaa!!

Counting days

Aidilfitr is just days away, am still at my office completing the last kopek, we will return to Kch on eve of hari Raya, because B can only be free by then., and he's not keen of me handling Ayra alone should I go back earlier. We had pre-raya photoshoot last night, tradition. Happy Raya & Holiday to all my readers, have a safe journey back to kampung and maaf zahir & batin :)

Pink Ayra Maysaa?

Knowing me, feminine is my middle name, pink, frills, lace, ruffles, ribbons, flowers describe me best. When it comes to Ayra, people expect me to do the same since the moment they knew I bore a girl. But they are wrong. Ironically, I actually loath girls who are too girly, in my defense, I am not too girly, I just love pink. So I want to sideline the obvious for Ayra, I want her to be the simplest, less is more, laid back type of lady, you know, hipster kind. Furthermore, according to B, girls who loves pink are usually gedik. Sorry that you are married to one B. :/

Ayra is not the baby with thick lock, so she is mistaken to be a baby boy everytime. And my sister always complain that I never dress Ayra up like a girl, a real baby girl, with dress, headbands and such. So yesterday, I decided to play dress up with Ayra. She's thriving now, so most of her girly2 attire fit her already.

Ayra, all ready for iftar

Few minutes later,....

ya ku malas.........

Our Ramadhan so far

I just got back from my 2 days travelling in kl. We had our final critics session for our case study workshop, remember i went to felda sungkai and had my skirt entangled? Yup, it has approached its finale and we are assesed for what we have produced. Similar to viva we had in uni.

This is also my 1st time being apart from my sugarball and I have to admit it ain't easy, I keep thinking about her while I am not!got it? Her videos and pics shares by b and her aunties triggered my tears everytime.

In other note about my critics session, my turn was scheduled in the 1st day, means I am free on the next day, such a perfect time for a retail therapy as big sis is on leave :)

Seriously i dont look forward to any outstation stints for the time being.

yesterday's Iftar, my cupcake is 2 months 2weeks old at present.

Ramadhon 2012

It's the last day before we celebrate the holy Ramadhon tomorrow, my first experience fasting with a baby and on our own. I hope I have fun fasting while compensating my amal. Happy ramadhon to all my readers and hope you guys have a blissful one too!

Working Mommy

This is my first week working after my maternity leave. Towards the end of it and embracing Ramadhan we are in 2 days time. Alhamdulillah, things are not as difficult as I expected but can't deny by the end of the day, if I were a battery, my power is already alarming red. Maybe because Ayra's babysitter is at my workplace make the whole things easier. Alhamdulillah. By noon I visit Ayra and I can see her laughing and cooing , which somehow make me sad, because at night, Ayra usually sleeps after feeding, means I miss her active phase :( (seriously I ever thought quitting because I want to exclusively take care of her) apakan daya, bapak kaya mak mentega. uhuk2....

Work wise, stacking and piling up like I expected. Now I have lost my 'shield', I can't get away with the pregnant reason anymore. But I still can manage but sometimes there's glitch here and there as I'm running my responsibility as a working mother and wife. I salute all working mothers out there and I envy all housewives. 

Heels...after so many months not wearing them, they make me look like walking with both left feet, having a hard time adjusting to heels..

This kind tudung most of the time now, no time to iron mengiron and lilit melilit..

My Ayra just turned 2 months last week. So far she's doing fine, I hope she remains as an easy baby as she is always.

going for her 2 month jab

<3 u so so much my little munchkin!

Hope working mothers out there can share your experience/system. :)

Ayra to babysitter

I have started sending Ayra to her babysitter since two days ago. I haven't started working yet but I want both Ayra and the babysitter to be familiar with each other and my 1st day of work wouldn't be so chaos . o far she's doing fine. It never crossed my mind that being apart with Ayra is so hard. I weeped the moment I left the babysitter's door closed, huaa. Alhamdulillah, I managed to find a babysitter for Ayra within my workplace, (staff quarters) she is my staff's wife, so during work, Ayra is just literally walks away from my office, means during lunch I can visit my baby! I hope there'll be no problem after this, syukur sangat dpt babysitter dekat2.. I even think of fixing a baby cot in my office! Xmau jauh2!

Its gonna be my routine every morning from now on....

Mulut jadi popcorn lepas balik dari nanny!
