Baby essentials : what you actually need #2

Diaper caddy - I loved this diaper caddy so much.There is not much to say about something perfect isn’t?

Design -simple & minimalist, plus point is it can be fold into a book thickness in general.

Price - affordable for this kinda superb design and it is long lasting summore.

Color- will absolutely match every home decor .

Size - Generous!  In my situation, I able to fit in almost 15 pieces of diapers, a baby wipes, spray bottle, a roll of tissue paper, thermometer, baby balm, nappy cream, nasal aspirator, nail clipper, cotton buds,hand sanitizer and hand rattle.

Travel- easy to carry and place anywhere you intend to. My mum and brother love it too during my early days of confinement.

So, what are you waiting for?

FYI I bought this from shopee at RM32.50  including postage.

Baby essentials : what you actually need #1

Baby bottle drying racks -  I bought this when I started working right after two months on maternity leave. As a working mother of course I need to send my baby to a babysitter from Monday to Friday equipped with 6 x 2oz expressed breastmilk and a bottle of fresh milk daily. On top of that, there were another 8 breastpump parts involved. That makes the total number of bottles I need to wash and clean every weakday is 7 excluding the breastpump parts all together. Its a lot I tell you. Phewww.... 

To cut it short, do invest in this super affordable item as you will really need this after every bottles cleaning session. My early days without this drying racks and initiatively arranged it upside down on a piece of newspaper is horrible. Its not drying to perfection and it took forever. With this rack,my problem solved and length of time reduced, BUT depends on where you locate it either in a closed area or directly under the fan. As for my case, I rest it under the ceiling fan just so you know that am a bit impatient. 

FYI I bought this from shopee at  RM7.35 per rack including postage.

Nabila Aisyah

Pemberian nama kepada anak dengan nama yang baik sangat penting, sehingga kelak anak merasa senang dan tidak merasa malu dengan nama yang disandangnya. Hal ini juga sesuai dengan Firman Allah Q.S. 49:11 sebagai berikut:

وَلَا تَلْمِزُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ ۖ بِئْسَ ال��اسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ ۚ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتُبْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

“dan janganlah kamu mencela dirimu sendiri dan janganlah kamu panggil-memanggil dengan gelar-gelar yang buruk. Seburuk-buruk panggilan ialah (panggilan) yang buruk sesudah iman dan barang siapa yang tidak bertaubat, maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang zalim”. (Q.S. 49:11). Perhatikan juga hadith berikut:

قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم ٳنّ من حقّ الوالد على ولده ٲن يعلّمه الكتابة وٲن يحسن ٳسمه وٲن يزۆجه ٳذا بلغ . رواه ٳبن النجار

Ertinya: Sabda Nabi SAW:“Sssungguhnya di antara kewajiban orang tua terhadap anaknya mengajarinya menulis, membaguskan namanya, dan menikahkannya bila telah dewasa”. (H.R. Ibnu Najar). Dalam membuat keputusan sepanjang kehamilan ini, aku rasakan bahawa pemilihan nama bayi ialah perkara yang paling sukar untuk diputuskan sehingga ia terkadang tertangguh tanpa sebab yang munasabah. Perbincangan empat mata bersama suami sudah tidak terhitung bilangannya. Pencarian nama-nama bayi Islamik secara atas talian sudah keberapa kali dilakukan. Namun, tiada juga keputusan akhir sebulat suara antara kami suami isteri. Kelakar. Masing-masing tidak bersependapat dalam memutuskan nama akhir bagi suku kata kedua puteri kami. Nama pertamanya telah lama kami persetujui iaitu “Aisyah” sedari aku disahkan hamil. Walaupun kami masih tidak pasti jantinanya waktu itu, kami tetap berbicara dengan kandungan itu dengan memanggilnya Aisyah, Aisyah dan Aisyah. Mungkin kerana firasat seorang ibu itu tersangat kuat sehinggakan aku begitu pasti bahawa janin dalam kandunganku ini ialah seorang bayi perempuan. Alhamdulillah, tekaan aku tepat.

Setelah disahkan jantinanya dan dipastikan 100% perempuan, kami mula mencari nama yang bersesuaian untuk suku kata pertama. Ternyata bukan mudah. Terdapat pelbagai pilihan nama yang elok pengertiannya dan sesuai digabungkan bersama dengan Aisyah. Namun skop pilihan terjurus kepada awalan huruf N bersempena nama suami, setelah vokal A dipilih mewakili namaku. Dipendekkan cerita, Nabila jua yang menjadi pilihan hati sang suami yang bermaksud mulia/luhur. Itulah ceritanya di sebalik nama puteri kami, Nabila Aisyah. Semoga Aisyah membesar dengan sempurna dan menjadi seorang anak yang solehah penghibur hati kami sekeluarga hendakNya.

Aminnnn......

Salam,

Untuk edisi khas berkenaan kehamilan, aku lebih selesa untuk berbicara dan berkongsi pengalaman dalam bahasa Melayu, bahasa ibundaku. Buat para pembaca sekalian, ini adalah pertama kali aku turut serta berkongsi perihal kehamilan di alam maya. Tidak pernah sekalipun terlintas untuk mencoret cerita yang ada di sini ,namun atas sebab-sebab tertentu aku terdetik untuk mengikut serta walaupun tidak seberapa. Harapan aku agar ia bermanfaat untuk semua bakal ibu-ibu muda seperti aku dan juga tidak lupa untuk ibu-ibu veteran yang sudah pasti lagi melimpah pengalamannya.

Terlebih dahulu ingin aku jelaskan bahawa penulisan aku ini ditulis tidak mengikut fasa kehamilan yang sebetulnya. Justeru itu, kemungkinan terdapat perkongsian cerita berkisar pada awal trimester pertama dan seterusnya trimester ketiga dan mungkin akan kembali ke trimester kedua. Semuanya tergantung kepada kelapangan masa penulis serta keperluan untuk berkongsi cerita bersama.

Perkara pertama yang ingin aku kongsi ialah berkenaan “selukan”. Jujur aku katakan bahawa diseluk ialah perkara pertama yang aku paling takut dalam sejarah kehamilanku, dan antara soalan yang sentiasa aku utarakan perihal bersalin pasti akan dimulai dengan proses selukan. Mungkin kerana ini adalah kehamilan pertamaku dan untuk bakal ibu muda seperti aku, seluk dibayangkan amat menyakitkan. Noktah !

Pemeriksaan bukaan pertamaku dilakukan pada minggu ke-39 kehamilan di mana pada ketika itu aku masih lagi tiada tanda-tanda untuk bersalin dalam waktu yang terdekat. Bahkan soalan pertama yang diaju kepadaku oleh Doktor Haida yang bakal menyambut kelahiran bayiku ialah, “ kamu tak ada rasa sakit apa-apa ke sekarang?. Jawapan aku mudah, “tidak ada doktor”. Justeru itu, doktor mengambil keputusan untuk menyeluk bagi mengetahui status bukaan dan memeriksa laluan. Igauan aku selama ini menjadi nyata waktu itu namun tidak terlalu mendebarkan kerana sebelum ke hospital, aku sudah dapat menjangkakan yang kemungkinan besar akan diseluk berdasarkan minggu kandungan aku pada waktu itu, minggu ke-39. 

Faktor pertama yang mengurangkan debar aku adalah doktor dan pembantunya itu sendiri. Mereka sangat berlembut dalam segala cara dan begitu juga apabila melalui proses selukan. Tidak salah pemilhan aku memilih Dr.Haida dan memilih untuk bersalin di Mahsuri Medical Centre(MMC) sedari awal. Disambungkan cerita, Dr.Haida mengarahkan aku berbaring di tempat yang disediakan untuk memulakan prosedur kenal pasti bacaan bukaan pintu rahim. Aku turuti segala arahan Dr. dengan tenang, meletakkan fikiran aku ke arah pemikiran yang positif, dan yang paling penting menjaga pernafasan agar debaran dapat dikurangkan justeru tekanan di bawah dapat dielakkan. Pendapat peribadi aku, setelah melalui proses itu, apabila kita tidak menjaga pernafasan dan memberi tekanan sekitar ari-ari(kemut), proses selukan akan menjadi amat tidak selesa atau berkemungkinan menyakitkan si ibu itu sendiri. Oleh itu, tenangkan fikiran anda, bernafas dengan betul dan rehatkan badan adalah cara yang terbaik bagi aku. Mungkin juga orang lain punyai pendapat yang berbeza.

Berlaku jujur dan usah malu. Aku luahkan kepada Dr.Haida bahawa ini adalah selukan pertamaku. Serta aku mohon kepadanya untuk berlembut dek kerana pengalaman pertama itu. Dr.Haida tidak membantah malah memahaminya. Dia bersiap sedia dangan memicit sedikit gel ke jarinya bagi melancarkan proses selukan dan memberitahu aku terlebih dahulu bahawa hanya dua jari sahaja yang akan terlibat. Aku mengangguk tanda memahami. Alhamdulillah, proses itu langsung tidak menyakitkan, malah tidak mengambil masa yang agak lama serta efisien. Aku rasa tidak lebih satu minit kerana semuanya berlaku dengan agak pantas. Kejanggalan yang mungkin ada cuma disebabkan itu pengalaman pertama, jadi aku agak tertanya-tanya dengan berapa dalam selukan jari, apa perasaannya bila jari doktor sudah berada di dalam dan adakah akan ada pendarahan selepas selukan. Alhamdulillah sekali lagi, tiada pendarahan berlaku, perasaan gemuruh terus hilang apabila jari sudah berada di dalam dan agak dalam mencucuk apabila dibandingkan dengan kemasukan zakar. 

Keseluruhannya, proses ini adalah biasa bagi aku andai dihadapi dengan cara yang betul. Itu sahaja komen ikhlas daripada aku yang boleh dikatakan mempunyai tahap tahan kesakitan yang tinggi. Oleh itu, bagi bakal-bakal ibu yang belum pernah merasainya, usah berfikiran negatif berkenaan selukan sebelum anda merasainya, bersiap sedia dengan ilmu kehamilan dan sentiasa berfikiran positif di mana andai wanita-wanita lain di luar sana boleh melaluinya, anda juga pasti boleh! Tidak terkecuali! 

P/s: lupa nak share yang Dr.Haida seorang yang bertubuh kecil montel, dan jari-jarinya tidaklah terlalu kurus. :D

“A handsome guy and a pretty girl will make a beautiful wedding : but a faithful man and a pious woman will make a beautiful marriage.”

Happy first wedding anniversary my one and only lover, Mr. Ni. Honestly am quite speechless of what to write down here and have nothing much to say because you know that I have always confessed everything/anything directly to you face to face. So, I was thinking should I repeat the same thing here? LOL. For the sake of our first wedding anniversary and specially for you my dear, I will say it out loud here again so that you can always remember it and can always search for it whenever we both forget about this later on.

“ Like I always said, do remember that I love you so much and it will always be that way insyaAllah. I pray for our marriage to last longer together and for both of us be able to go through this journey happily ever after. Along the way, no kidding there should be a bumpy road or potholes somewhere, however, just remember to fully analysed the situation clearly with the right minds and discuss it with your spouse because we are stronger combined. i prefer it that way the most as the more we talk/discuss, the deeper we understand each of us. Last but not least, I am pining for a better future of course. But instead of dreaming out loud and wishing it to come right to your door step someday you even don't know,  Let’s go searching for it, experience it with our own and be satisfied with the outcomes. As long as we do it together, nothing is impossible don't you think so? ”

Anyway, again happy anniversary husband ! Cheers for those past years we have been together and looking forward to many more years with you and the kids. I love you :D

Am terrifically overjoyed to share bits of my wedding gown for both functions held in Terengganu and Kedah on April 2017, 22nd & 29th.To be honest, I had spent days or almost months on searching for the right pieces of gown on me and that includes researching which design suit me best, what color practically fit my skin tone, multiple choices of fabrics and materials, crowns and accessories, and last but not least the veil. Not to forget the veil itself need half my attention  since gown and veil compliment each other real well. Its never been easy to be picky I tell ya. For those knowing me inside out would knew how picky I am which annoyed them hard sometimes. I didn't do fashion just simply for the sake of cover up my aurah, I won't. As far as am concerned, I still can remember that one particular day which I've paid a visit through appointment to this one fashion designer. The purpose was about my dream wedding dress of course. We sat together and brainstorming possible ideas till we got a piece of sketch in my hand. It was a perfect sketch of my imagination indeed. Unfortunately its gone wasted (or maybe the designer proposed it to some other bride, who knows right?) as I cancelled the plan a week later after several discussion with my sister and various thought. When it comes to think of it again, am definitely crazy and did not think thoroughly before going out to met a designer?

Praise to the Almighty that I was surrounded by divalicious friends which familiar enough with wedding and all that. They are most likely a walking wedding dictionary and I just need to turn them to the right pages. Their advises are priceless and I really appreciated it. Referring to the photos above, peplum wedding dress were chosen and picked from KL and brought back to Trg for the event, while the trumpet wedding dress was for the groom side and its from a wedding boutique located in Jitra itself. To my surprised they do have a “Kate Middleton” wedding dress and my mother in law was so in love in that dress. But nayyy from me as A line is not my favourable dress so far. At least not for my wedding.

“Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I’m not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you’ll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived. “ - The Love Whisperer  

[srirahayuwab]

Out of all the stars in the galaxy, you were the star hidden that I failed to find for many years. I searched through the worst stars, but settled for them because they were the closest to me, the easiest to reach. You were far away, and I finally made the reach. I knew I deserved something beautiful, not one of those rotten stars, but an alluring on that shimmers even through the darkest times. And I, wholeheartedly, am in love with all of you. While you may be the brightest star, you are not the most perfect one either. But isn’t that everybody? Imperfections make a soul beautiful, and you are by far the most beautiful one I’ve seen. - the love whisperer.

To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one else’s heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the her sighs, why everyone did not go mad with her movements, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He had not missed a single one of her gestures, not one of the indications of her character, but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell.

Happy belated new year from us  >  To more cheerful and exciting phase of life together dude !! My aim for 2017 is getting you photogenic enough and perhaps a lil bit of sexiness lol.

[srirahayuwab]

I wonder how many people lose the only person in their life that will ever get their whole heart. I wonder how many people just let go because they think it will be easier. I wonder what it is like to have to move on, but knowing that you will always want him over anyone else. Well for all those people I have some advice: When you finally find him, when he makes you happier then anyone else, never let him slip away. Hold on with everything you got and fight till the very end. Because all your life you will have him in the back of your mind. Sure you’ll love again, but will it be the same? Never. Because he was the one.

[srirahayuwab]

“When something bothered me, I didn’t talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that’s just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.”
