i believe congratulations should be in place...

i believe i should start my blog with congratulating my friends!

dahl & loque; congratulations on your first step, to eternal happiness that is well deserved by the both of you! (making a LDR work is obviously challenging, but you guys have given hope to those who has lost all hope in that) KUDOS!

a personal note to dahl, "darling i'm just a phone call away, if you need any help at all with wedding prep or to talk to vent out errr whatever else no specific reason needed pun is fine... i got your back ;)" ... i is love you!

hafiz & aishah; congratulations on your akad nikah last night, may your marriage be filled with happiness and your love flourished more and more each day! i must say the wedding favor is absolutely gorgeous!

on a shorter note: we took aira out on friday night to the curve for dins, met up with some friends - rini & rizal, liana & zadey and selly! it felt like it was planned, a reunion... its been a while since we last saw them and hung out! it was cute seeing the 2 preggy ladies up and about! rini is due in feb, while liana is due in april, i so can't wait... aira will have 2 new friends... wee!

then on saturday: my parents came over for breakfast, mom usually get excited in the mornings cause she's able to come over and bathe aira. then at 11 we made our way back to their place, had lunch with my uncle and auntie, who came all the way from rembau to see aira for an hour and a half hour only!

back home, got ready and headed to masjid wilayah for the solemnization ceremony. short, sweet and elegant!

another long day ahead of us today! sigh.

title-less

just heard a great news from down under! my girl friend gave birth to a baby girl who weights a tiny 2.7kgs at 420a.m. alhamdulillah! happy for her... 'congratulations darling! you have a beautiful journey ahead of you..."

i believe its 1-2 weeks earlier than expected.

had a lovely afternoon yesterday, auntie lala came by and we had our updates and all, then uncle hadi joined for a short period of time too! yes lovelies, soon we'll go to ss2 yeah? or you can always tapau! hihi, as planned.

aira was cranky last night for a short period of time, then she slept at 11p.m. after mommy nagged! hubs was laughing and said, "haaa... finally mommys nagging or shall i say, kena marah ngan mommy..." i wasn't angry, i was sleepy.

as i was feeding her, i feel asleep with my mouth wide open! and hubs laughed at me... haha... yes i should feel all kinds of silly but i was tired and sleepy, can you blame me? :P

i didn't have much to do today, but i had loads on my mind. too many questions remained unanswered. you know the usuals, life, doubts, friends, work and everything else... sometimes thinking too much doesn't get you anywhere, but cloudier/cluttered/messier!

thinking i should be de-cluttering my mind this weekend, suggestions?

progress report

yesterday we learned few new things from aira, since she just turned 2 months and 3 weeks old, she's able to 'mengereng' all on her own... okay for those who do not understand that word! shame on you! its when an infant lay down on her side without any assistance!

she was not only trying her very best to do that, but today she's been extremely talkative! it was hilarious, we had a good conversation for at least 10 minutes! then i guess she got bored talking to me, because she knew i just pretended i understood her. my maid was having a ball of a time laughing at the both of us.

today she's finally giving in bit by bit, in the morning she let the maid bathe her, then in the eve wipe her before changing her to her jammies, then after feed her milk! good progress huh? alhamdullilah, i hope it'll get better!! as i have been invited to 3 weddings (hafiz/nov, putri/dec, & ayin/dec) and i don't know how in the world am i going for these occassions if the little one does not detach her self from me!

i'm making sure, slowly but surely...

we're suppose to go for our first family trip this saturday to malacca, but we decided to cancel it as hubs might be busy with work, to just pack up our stuff and go? hmm... tempting but can't. so we discussed and thought maybe it'll be good if we stayed in kl, somewhere where we can take aira, then i thought why waste money! plus i don't want her to miss her music class on saturday!

wow, the predicament. tee-hee.

i do have photos of her on my phone doing all these new tricks - the most adorable is her discovering things she could do with her tounge! she likes sticking it out now, simply irresistable. if only i know how to upload it from my phone. well, til then we'll just have to wait til i could snap it with my cam. boo!

last but not least, i totally miss my lovelies! you know who you are, its been a while... i think its about that time that we meet up at the curve for coffee or dins? what say you? missing you guys so so much!

activities

thurs 20.11.08

decided to have dins @ delicious with hubs and we've been wanting to buy storybooks to read to her before her bedtime. as we arrived at the restaurant, aira was wide awake and i was worried she might be bored and just decides to scream on top of her lungs, *for fun* but after ordering and all, we observed and she seemed pretty fine. hubs decided to take this opportunity to carry and distract her with by showing her the lights! yes, ladies and gents! she is easily fascinated with lights and fans! cheap huh?

cool eh?

we managed to enjoy our dins without gobbling the food down our throats. according to this book that i'm reading, 'what to expect in the first year' everything you eat now becomes fast food, even if its steak, all new parents would have mastered just shoving everything down their throat! then we headed to parkson, and hubs made his way to mph. he bought the usual classics: little red riding hood, the little pigs and goldilocks & the three bears!

then i got a book by gina ford, contented babies & toddlers! apparently, if you'd like to train your little ones to sleep from 7p.m. - 7a.m. this would be the best for you to follow! it's proven, my girl friend has trained both of her daughters since a day old. impressive.

got home, and prepped the little one, hubs managed to read to her and finally fed her! my-oh-my the excitement in his face was totally priceless! i was so happy. we all slept like a baby right after :)

fri 21.11.08

as i was about to put the little one to sleep, hubs stormed into the room and told us about the great news! remember i said we were waiting for the great news regarding our anchor client? YEAY, indeed its been fulfilled! that means we'd have to shift office to hire a couple of new artists! such a great news for us early in the morning.

did a little work here and there and then called it a day! hihi, yes my bosses would be thrilled to know i did that, but i couldn't help it. teehee.

sat 22.11.08

woke up early today, i was excited because we were bringing aira for her first music class! but she was still asleep, then i got a message from my mom saying that they were going to drop by to see aira for a bit. as they walked in they saw aira smiling and laughing to barney's song 'i love you'... hihi, it was so cute.

mom wanted to bathe her, so she quickly took out her watch and rings and everything else! that was even cuter. after she was done, she carried aira for less than a minute til aira screamed! expressing her frustrations!

haha, mom was arguing with her, "hey, i just showered you and cleaned your pampers and all, by the time i'm done, i'm not even allowed to hold you? you just want to go straight to your mommy? why, aira?" .... "okay you go... go now to your mother!"

i could not believe my ears, my daughter and my mother arguing! haha...

then as i was feeding her, my dad was talking to me... even then she expressed that she wasn't happy. she grumbled.

by the time we got to the class she was asleep, had only been asleep for the last 15 minutes or so... we started the class, and we were introduced to the bunny called 'toffee'! furry and cute.

the instructor was trying to intoduce these things to see if any of the children had any fear of furry things! it's called "doraphobia" the class was all about singing, listening, hand and eye co-ordination, playing instruments, learning to sign and more. it was even educational for me!

the instructor knows each names of the little ones, and manages to identify their likes and dislikes, and you can even seek for advice from her. how to keep the little one busy or how to train them to sign, or sing, or gain their attention.

totally enjoyed our 45 minutes class! another great way for parents to bond and spend quality time with thier little ones! instead of bringing them to the mall and call it quality time.

for those interested to know more bout the class, click here. it's worth a try!

little prodigy

visited my girl friend eita and her new born yesterday, aww her little tot is really tiny! she only weights 2.9kgs as compared to aira who is now 5.3-5.4kgs! she is such a cutie pie, none of her new born clothes even fit her! she has to use the pre-mature baby clothes...
anyhoo, her mommy had already lost 14kgs!

hmm... where did i go wrong?

think my appetite was just too good for me then, i only lost 7kgs! in my first month. sheeeeet.

am glad i finally get to see them, thanks to auntie liana for making time to pick me and my little prodigy! as soon as i got home, an old friend fiza came to visit aira... its always nice to see her, all chirpy and dandy... she's great with kids or shall i say babies as she took good care of her newphews and nieces! so i would assume the little one would be comfortable with her.

nope, think again! fat chance mommy!

this time round, aira did not just cry. she showed her temper and screamed for her dear life as though auntie fiza was out to harm her. haha... she felt so bad due to the whole 'mumbo-jumbo'! she also witnessed the little drama aira pulled when i was trying to bottle feed her... so she gave me some suggestions and what not.

there's always a story to tell when it comes to aira huh? according to auntie fiza, aira's too smart for her age. hah!

after she left she sent me a message, regarding the teat and the bottle and etc... the message came like this:

okay i just checked with my sis NUK doesn't fit avent bottle (nasib baik i
tanya!) they have their own bottles, and mothercare punya bottle pun can use NUK
punya puting, but at the moment she looks fine using it, i think? you
can still try and see if she likes it. neways tell the little prodigy,
tunggulah! i will charm her with everything until she heroworship me, u
wait!!



i thought that was just so darn adorable! it totally made my day. anyone seen madagascar 2? do share your reviews, thanks!

hope

eeek! aira was behaving like an adult, refusing to sleep! she tidur-tidur ayam only today.

still no progress on her letting others carry her, maid managed to carry and sing to her for a good 15 minutes and then it was all shot down! then she made her own music, cried and cried and cried. boo.

not feeling flattered though, i wish she would be an easy one to get along with everyone and be the sweet baby that she is!

*hoping that it's just a phase* crossing my fingers!

wonder

hubs and bro just told me of a good news! the one that we've been waiting for. *work related of course*

we might, might get our anchor client to sign us up as their main agency!

but it will require our undying devotion, attention, commitment, and anything else that you can think of. we might even have to sacrifice our holidays and such, i wonder if its all worth it.

... i guess it is for now... but once it takes too much of our time away from aira, then its not. til then, we'll just have to wait and see.

wish us luck and pray that we get it yeah?

blardy hell!

i'm so damn fucken pissed off!

you know la, issues with the maid! see how i've changed my tone and choice of word? from helper - maid.

at 430 a.m. as i was feeding aira, hubs woke up *due to stiff neck* and told me when i was asleep, the maid had called him at 1130 to ask him to open the front door! he was like WTF? okay opened it and questioned her...

how come you were out of the house at this hour?

she looked up with her pale face, i... i... i... was out with a friend we went to centre point. (wow, the nerve!) main gila ok!

kept on bombarding her with questions, she stood there with her sulky face, according to hubs. he then ignored and stormed off.

this morning as i asked her to get aira's hot water all ready, i prepped aira so i could bathe her instead, my maid ask do i do it? or you're doing it? i looked and said, I'LL DO IT! she was about to leave the room, thinking she could get away with murder... i said stop, i want to talk to you.

i did not raise my voice, but made sure i was stern, but in my mind i was actually performing the 'stone-cold-stunner' move on her, bloody hell. i made it VERY clear, all i asked was that, you came here to carik duit halal so you could send to your son, and you're doing this... tsk tsk tsk... and then i said, if you're not interested to work, there's an easy way out, you just have to let me know! she was almost in tears, *don't show me your crocodile tears laaa!* told her the damage has been done... you really betrayed me.

see people, its no point treating the maids nicely in the end they screw you over! i never denied her wants to go on her monthly leave despite me having an infant, i let her be... and there's no gratitude what so ever.

anyway, enough about her. i'm glad aira's colic is slowly being treated by consuming the pro-biotic! seriously love the doctor. he knows his shit.

serves me right

my lil girl refuses anyone who tries to carry her. a new trick she picked up. *just wondering how can a 2 month old even know this? *scratching my head!

been letting the helper play and bathe her, so that they get acquainted but after all that, she still screams and just simply rejects!

i'm in deep do-do! i guess it serves me right huh? (trynna be over protective summore, it's nicely biting me in the ass)

looking for ways to rectify this problem... help! as there are events that i won't be able to drag her with.

praying to god its just a phase.

tsk tsk tsk

my downloads are extremely slow. just shoot me already!

my maternity leave is amost up, double the whammy!

a little somethin' somethin'

forgive me for my absence!

these past few weeks has been madness, for me. been dealing with this horrible thing called 'colic' that has been attacking the little one. poor girl.

explanation for this? well there's not much, her doc did ask me if i've been eating peanuts, any sort for that matter - it could, as in could be the cause... angin la katakan! oh well, no more nuts. not life threatening. oh yeah, they did say 3rd times a charm right? i so believe that, this new pediatrician is heaven sent! dr. altaf! i so so love. god bless him.

aside from colic, aira's already 5.2 kgs in her second month and she is 63 cm tall. well lets just say that when i carry her, placing her head on my shoulder her feet would be at my belly. okay either she's tall or her mommy is just plain short.

on another note;

on the 10th of nov, hubs and i have officially been together for 10 years, yes patting my self on the back, well done! "happy anniversary" been married for 3 years, with the best anniversary gift ever... nadyne aira. alhamdulillah.

i've made progress, i let my helper carry aira yesterday, and i think that is such and achievement for me. you see, i have been feeling a little protective, okay little is an understatement! my mom thinks i'm extremely possesive, which i totally can't help it :( i have been handling aira since day one, my helper only assists by bringing stuff for us, and that's about it. changing of the nappy, bathing, playing, cleaning, you name it its all done by me... dang!

and i'm starting work soon! jeng jeng jeng... thank goodness we work at home or else i would just die.

crazy huh? okay no need to answer me, i know...

i will do my very best to slowly let go, and let others in... its just that i have to really trust you to let you hold and carry her! yes crazy again huh? call me whatever you like, whatever tickles your fancy! :)

a good friend would be coming down from dubai - bella, i can't wait to see her, it has been almost 2 years!! we will be reunited. hooray. but its not the same as being there with her, at least then we'll be able to spend some time with my uncle, whom i've been missing dearly.

i've been thinking so much about going to london, i just want to be there with hubs and aira. it makes me happy thinking about being there, if only...
but i am going to work extremely hard to make it happen, for winter next year. insyallah.

okay that's all folks!

sick

felt weak yesterday, but even sadder cause i could not do anything to help the little one as she screams cause she was in pain! really i just don't understand colic. the book mentioned that it also had something to do with environment, like smoking in the house and all. wondering.

i'm so sick today, after a year of not being sick at all! had a bad sore throat last night, and i came down with a fever early in the morning! damn it. i so don't want my little girl to get sick aswell... but i guess it might be unavoidable as i'm still breastfeeding her! the thing is, i've been doing loads of research, i think GOD is really great, apparently when you're sick your milk creates antibody for the little one through the milk! *i really hope she takes all the antibody she can get from me!* fantastic isn't it? and your milk tastes different everyday to cater for the bub.

i hope i'll gain my appetite again! this sucks. it just sucks, seriously.

cheered my self up by watching p.s. i love you... i know its not the typical love story you get, but the love they have is what matters!

quote of the day: "you have to stop waiting and start living"

music to my ears & my eye candy!

i think i'm sick. obsessed. can't get enough of her! i even felt like quitting my job, despite my office being at home, and i work with my hubs and bro!


i mean what the...f, right?


yeah, this is similar to Dear Thelma! think i need help? *be honest!*

damn!

past few weekends has been great catching up with friends, bringing the little chubster to the malls and what not. however, i noticed something... everytime we take her out in a group, she wakes up in the middle of the outing! but when its just the 3 of us, she manages to give us some quality time!

so peculiar.

also learnt a few new stuff, my poor chubster suffers from this damn colic shit-of-a-thing on the eves now! pity her, wish i could take the pain away from her, but seriously that's not how it works... you gotta do your best to make sure that her stomach would be at ease.

seeing her cry and screaming, the change of her facial expression and color, just breaks my heart! now i understand why my girl friend broke down and cried after her baby girl cried for almost 3 hours with no explanation why!?!

damn you bastard of a colic!
