Raya

Abg Put and his sons.
Hana
Sweet couple, emak and abah

Our son will join this group next year :-)Insya-allah.Unfortunately, we forgot to snap our raya photo together.

Dear readers,
Yes, again, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri! I had wonderful raya this year, given that everyone was home.We celebrated our first day of raya at my husband's hometown- Yong Peng. Unfortunately, our lil' sister Yah unable to join us.I hope you had a great raya celebration in USA sweetie.I had so wanted to celebrate raya, surrounded by the love of dear siblings and relatives, alhamdullillah, tercapai juga.
I always began my Ramadan with big plans, you know- where to buy baju raya, fashion aper, duit raya bnyk mana nak tukar,decorating the house creatively and entertaining lavishly, buying or baking ten kinds of biskut raya, planning for raya menu, mopping the house and etc..YES, I love Hari Raya.
We started our day with our raya ritual- makan-makan, acara salam-salam&mohon maaf and acara memberi duit raya.Afternoon, went to Parit Medan to visit our relatives.Apeng and I giggled as we examined each relatives especially abah' sister in-law.Best sgt2. After that very interesting raya visit, I was so tired and went back to Yong Peng.The next day...,another interesting ritual and tradition we have in Johor during Raya is Marhaban.Sayangnya, Apeng tak dapat join sbb kaki tak baik betul2.Emak and other siblings were busy preparing for the foods.

All in all, our raya was great and praise to Allah for another Ramadan and Syawal next year.
Insya-Allah.
Amin.

Okeh, on 25th September, we went to Zuhri&Mira's wedding ceremony.Im officially 35 weeks :-) and yes Im still in a good condition.Oh ya, except I got diarrhea a few days before Raya so I rang the midwifes/gynae to ask them if this is normal as I never suffered with this for a few days. They said, nothing to worry about.Fuhhh lega.
Introducing..Brotherhood..some of the Jenans/SMSAH.
Dada and I.Pregnancy Diaries:
I am finding it so hard to bend down to pick things up from the floor. My husband has been helping and never complains , he keeps asking me if I'm okay and if I need any help.Thanks baby!!!
Oh ya,Im preparing the nursery now.Time for shopping guys!!!
Will update more on baby stuff later :-).

Love.

Raya.Oh Raya!

Pregnancy Diaries: Week 33
The scan went really well, Baby K is fine and growing well, although they couldn't tell me how long the baby is.This week has been extremely hard, I have really felt it this week, I've had a lot of twinges and the braxton hicks seems to have been doing overtime. Im really not sleeping well and pepole have commented on how tired I look, so I decided I wanted to finish earlier than originally planned. Anyway, Im still fasting and yes, Im coping fine. Ok enough about my pregnancy.Let's talk about Raya :-)

We are so excited, harusla..nikan tahun terakhir diriku dan suami single mingle, lepas ni dah bertiga ..kann.. OMG how I miss jadi bf-gf ngn Apeng!Teringat balik masa kami duk kat Bukit Jelutong ada org nk hantar Jais ke rumah kami..sbb kami nampak mcm bf-gf kot...( ooh sila jgn muntah darah yerr..:p)Pastu each time jumpa pakcik guard..
"Bf kerja ke dik?"
"Today keluar..Bf mana?"

Adoii..best sgt2.tp apekan daya, life goes on kan.Takkan la nk ditakuk yg lama je kan.Although I have to admit, bestnya ...dolu2.Ok pasal raya.Mula2 Apeng suggest tak payah cari baju raya, reason?
" Kita buat baju raya tahun depan jela..buat skali ngn anak."
" Ehh...tp ni tahun last kita together.Nak la celebrate"

I guess reason yg paling kuat:Sbb dia pun tak berapa nk boleh jalan sgt, and diriku pulak ..with my growing belly.I totally forgot to send my baju raya to my tailor :-(. Siap dah call bagai, tapi at last tak hantar jugak. Ramadan ni bz sikit sbb ulang-alik gi hospital..and with Apeng condition, seryes sgt lupa...Sampai nk beronline pon dah penat sgt. Now, Apeng dah jalan tak payah pakai tongkat! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~ Tak sia2 haku jadi statue aka penunggu setia kt tempat physio tu hari2 kan. And I can see, my husband is a tough guy, semangat dia kuat,..Im so proud of you baby!
Our raya preparation...

• Kuih Raya- checked!
• Baju Raya- checked!
• Duit raya- checked!
• Kemas rumah- ni 2 days before raya baru buat lagi sekali
• Raya Menu- hmm..ni pun 2 days before raya baru nak pk nk makan aper.Tp mcm nak mkn ketupat palas...nyummm
• Packing- ni tatau lg balik raya bila..so packing last minute punya
• Pasang lagu raya hari2 supaya rasa excited nak raya- checked!

Other than that, mcm org lain jugak la kot preparation.This year, my Ummi will be celebrating Eidulfitri with my Abg Long in Dubai.Except for Abg Sam( the third in my siblings), dia raya sini je sbb my sister-in law pun pregnant and dah tak larat nk travel jauh2.As for us..hmm we'll see how.. Of course I cant go to Dubai..dah nak masuk 34 weeks ni.
Oklah, I tgh pk nk buka ape ni..mcm dah taknak masak sbb hari2 dah masak jadi Chef Fadd rasa nk tutup dapur sbb sgt excited nak raya! ( ok baby.ni hint untuk you supaya kita lih date lg sbb ni last puasa kita jadi bf-gf :p)

Last but not least,
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AND SORRY FOR ALL WRONGDOINGS GUYS!
Muah
Love

Im back!

First of all, here are the photos at Diah's and Hyda's wedding.I can imagine the wonderful times that Diah&Redza and Hyda&Barry will have throughout their long life together.Let us all hope and pray that your married life will be...hmm....hingga ke akhir hayat :-)


Few hours before Hyda's nikah.
and ..the hantaran for Hyda :-)

I’ve been trying for days to get a post written. Clearly, it’s not been happening. Too much is going on too fast for me to process and keep up. Tambah pulak kereta kami rosak, pastu kami guna public transportlah.thank god ada public tport!!!.Tp yg paling bestnya..naik bus Rapid KL..LRT or komuter biasalah naik..ni bus Rapid KL dah lama sgt tak naik..Tp best wooo!!!:-)
The update on Apeng's pain and knee operation:
Alhamdulillah, Apeng's surgery went very well .My husband did great.He was out of recovery pretty quickly, too.Since we came back from the hospital, Apeng is more than happier.Anyway, The only down side was,Apeng got himself so worked up in the hospital that he could not fall asleep unless I was actually lying in bed with him ..erm, (baring sebelah sambil memicitnya sebenarnya).Once he fell asleep, I would delicately extract myself and try to get back to sleep too.Inevitably, he would wake in the night and get hysterical (and making this..Aaaah-Uh sounds).Solution?Kena la haku bangun dan memicitnya..tapi takpe, itu tugas isteri,bukan?

So, here goes my routine.

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

The update on my pregnancy:
Weeks 30-31
Although I've put on 11 kgs already, the bump is pretty heavy. I keep putting some lotion on and some pregnancy oil , but it's not really helping it. My heartburn is terrible, I only have to lean forward of lie back and it's there. I started taking water to bed with me, but then I end up going to the toilet 10 times a night (and that''s no exaggeration).
Ive also been having the odd Braxton Hick now and then.Puasa is good to me so far and I am coping fine, alhamdulillah.

Well that's all from me this week, I can't believe I'm heading towards week 32 next week(8 mths) - 7-8 weeks to go!!!!!Okeh, this is our baby's 3D scan.Apeng told me that our baby looks like him...ermm..suka la dia!

Thank you, all of you, for your good thoughts and wishes, your prayers and words of support during this challenging time. You helped me keep my flagging spirits lifted while we were in the hospital. Truly

Thanks guys.

p.s: Tomorrow will be my 32 weeks checkup....hmm Im officially in third trimester now!OMG.Cepatnya masa berlalu.

Love

Busy As a Bee

Maternal Instinct..AGAIN??

Pregnancy Diaries
Im officially 7 months now.
I never thought I will enjoy my pregnancy this much. We met our OB( when I was 28 weeks) and he was happy with everything.He said everything was going great and our little one was growing nicely. He told us that our baby's head was down already which is good news for me, that means I will able to have a natural birth. Our baby is constantly moving still and he is now nearly 1.5kgs.* smile*My boy would have a grand time playing, usually at the expense of my ribs.I always rubbed my belly and talked to him.:p
"Little one, I know you are getting stronger each day"
Several punches to my lower abdomen followed.Goodness.My boy continued the gymnastics routine for several minutes.
On the other hand,Ive been out since last month to buy his stuff. We just need to sort few things out from the room and then I will feel like we are well on way to getting things sorted.Thanks to my husband, he prepared everything for us! I will blog about our baby's stuff later yah.

Needless to say, I was excited about everything!
"Nak berapa anak?Lepas ni bila pulak"
That question was one which I never seemed to have an answer.I never could seem to put a number to it.I only hoped that somehow,someday I would know the answer. One thing's for sure, I love babies, they are adorable!As you can see the above photos were taken when I was 6 months pregnant at Yong Peng during our nephew's aqiqah, Anas.The girl in the picture is his sister, Nadirah.Both are adorable and sweet.I can say, Anas is good as gold.U know kinda mellow and consistently undemanding, he's extremely portable in fact we can take him everywhere!Cik Fadd miss you guys!

And this one were taken 1 week ago at my brother's place. Zahra will be turning 1 this coming November.Well..well Zahra is super duper hyper baby! Dia senyap time tidur je kut :p, but of course darling, Moksu will always love you, no matter how hard to handle you!

And this one my photos at Anita's house when I visited her and her boy.I met Anita after..hmm ...12 years?OMG, I cant believe we finally met that day!Congrats to you sweetie!Your boy is such adorable.I wanted to hold him but..hmmm...malu ler :p.

Tgk, indahnya hidup ini dikelilingi oleh bayi-bayi yang comel2 iteww.I hope one day I can be a good mom to my little one.Insha'Allah.
Moreover,this week has been very up and down.Im down with the flu 2 days ago, apeng as well but alhamdulillah we are fine now.We seriously realize how better we felt when we drank 3 litres of water a day. We feel nice and hydrated.The only downside is the frequent bathroom trips which..bugging me so much :p.Oklah, sampai di sini saja kali ini,I think Im off to bed now and continue my reading.Oh ya, before I proceed with my beauty sleep, I shall wish everybody
"Happy Sahur!"

Daaa..

p.s: I wanted to try pregnancy massage..hmmm..wuddaya think?I have this in mind-Either Bidan or Urban Retreat at The Curve?



Love

Ramadan 1430 Hijr:-)

Hi Peeps!
Happy Ramadhan!
I seek your forgiveness before I embark into another Ramadan.
Im so excited since it will be my first Ramadan as a pregnant lady :-)
Sorry for all wrongdoings.


Ps:Again, I have to remind myself to have a well balanced 'iftar' and 'sohoor' and a snack in between with ample amounts of fluids, milk vegetables and fruits.Insha'Allah.

Love,
Jetsetter

Kahwin Situ Sana sini

So here are the photos at Ita's wedding.I have to admit I have a problems finding baju to the wedding...!

The next day, hana's reception at Ampang.Baju kurung is the only baju that I can fit into but I wont be able to zip up the kain...Dont ask how did I manage to wear the kain, pandai-pandai la kan :p. I wouldnt wear anyting that is tight around my belly , I will become uncomfortable.As far as I know, it is the greatest time to grow out our belly and feel beautiful about it.

Furthermore,while we are pregnant, we really cant be worried about shape.It is going to change whether I like it or not! That's it.Zip~

Redza, Dieah, Diella, Me & Qaseh

It was a beautiful wedding.

Congrats to Hana and her dream guy! Wish both of you the best.

We went back around 330pm and had a final stop at Nasim 's house.As usual, to the brides&grooms, semoga kekal hingga akhir hayat!

Love

Final Part Kiwi Land

Hi peeps!
Our journey to Rotorua took about 1-2 hours.As we get closer to the town, the smell of rotten eggs got stronger.It is the smell of sulphur. We went straight to the hotel since we didnt perform our solat yet.So here our room at Rotorua,it cost around NZ$68 pernite.The room was clean except the heater..hmm not working!!

After solat, we headed to Skyline which has 900 metres gondola that take us to the top of Mount Ngongotaha and provides an amazing view of lake and town.You can also ride the luge( which we didnt manage to try bcos it was freezing that day!)

The next day, we went to this traditional Maori Village called Te Puia.I love this place so much!It is great because you can learn about others heritage.Makes me more grateful with my life today. Lucky for us, we got discount for admission fees due to travelling during winter.

Went to their galleries and learned about Maori peoples.

Afterwards they performed us a number of traditional songs and dances including the Haka which my husband's fav!As you can see, my husband joined the group too :-)

So much to do here! There's Kiwi Centre, National Weaving and Carving School, Cultural shows and many more!We then headed to mud pools but the smell of sulphur was a bit distressing. The pools are pretty amazing which heated from underground and you can bath in.
Of course,Te Puai is a good value!

We were wearing poncho because it was raining .Tell you what.... it was cold!Thank god, the ground in Te Puai is as warm as if there was a heater immediately

under the surface.So I rested my bump there.Best sangaaaaaaaaaaaat,panass jerrr :-) In Te Puai, we can get closer to the Pohutu Geyser.Mom( she was here before) told us that it's fountain is said to reach up to 25-30 metres into the sky but it doesnt spray that high that day

:-(

Traditional Hangi where food is actually cooked beneath the ground. They also served traditional dinner hangi with performance but we have to pass. They only served beef, lamb and pork.Obviously we cant eat anything :p

Went back to Auckland straight away after Te Puia( since esok tu dah nak balik).We made one final stop at Sylvia Shopping Mall (Mom& Dad wanted to buy some stuffs)..I dont bother about any outlets in the mall since I was so tired and restless.During this trip, Im quite lucky, .My pregnancy went smoothly and I dont have any sicknesses.Alhamdulillah.

We reached our hotel around 8pm and had dinner nearby. Went back to our hotel and packed our stuff.Rasa sedih pulak esok tu dah nak balik :p

Hmm..what can I say about NZ?

I will definitely go there again..!

Love

Part 2-Kiwi Land

Dad, Me & Mom
We woke up around 6.30am ( around 2.30am Malaysia time). I packed all our thingy and my husband went to pick up the car.We rented a car for 2 days for NZ$70.We had a midsized car, a good enough space for 4 of us.At first,my husband tried to find on the internet and was unsuccessful.As we have been through this stupid hassle so many times( you-know-kinda last minute thingy to do), we called the Ace Car Rental directly to make a reservation.Alhamdulillah, we got a better deal for rental car in Auckland. The best way is, make your reservation early, so that you'll get better deals!Like someone used to tell me "Always be prepared!"

Travelling around NZ via land is an excellent way to see this beautiful country. I felt in love instantly. Along the road, I can see the sheep shearing too.(BUT Of course, Hujan emas di negeri org hujan batu di negeri sendiri, lebih baik di negeri sendiri :-)That morning we made our way over to the Waitomo Caves.Waitomo is about 2 hours drive to South of Auckland.The Waitomo Caves are famous for the creatures called Arachnocampa luminosa or glowworms. We spent much of the morning sipping coffee& juices in the car.Mom packed us sandwiches( remember , we went to Foodtown to get all the stuff in our previous post?).We packed our own food to minimize pit stop and ..the most importantly, it is halal and nutritious.

I was hoping to visit Matamata where the original Hobbiton Village was built( Lord of the Rings film locations) unfortunately, we were running out of time.For instant, my baby Apeng chose to visit Waitomo Cave.I really didnt know what to expect and always thought there was nothing but ONLY a cave .We were taken with a group of 50 peoples for a really up-close view of the cave and it was absolutely blew us away!The tour guide delivered an informative and entertaining commentary, sharing cultural and their legends and the natural wonders of this living masterpiece. Firstly,we had to walk for about 30-40 minutes with all the informative explanation and the last 10-15 minutes was a boat ride. Every minutes I found myself saying
"Oh..wow.." it was that good!
"tgk kat atas, ulat tu ada cahaya!Cerah mcm kunang-kunang.Mcm bintang kat langit pun ada.."said Mom
I was mesmerized.As I went inside the cave, above my head looks like a brilliant night sky but in reality,its thousands of these glowworms attached to the ceiling of the caves.What make these glowworms so unique and special is that during their larval stage, they glow a flourescent green
"Semakin bnyk kita berjalan, semakin kita kenal kebesaran Allah.Semakin kita cinta Allah"replied dad with his husky vioce.
And yes, Dad is so true!
"Subhanallah!"

My love was trying to get some information from the counter.We booked our tix through internet.A lot easier and... cheaper!Tips from my baby- try to book using internet as you can save your time and get a better deals!
Mom and I waited to be called for our tour. And yes, she's my guardian :-)

We were not allowed to snap any photos inside the cave.Camera and Video Cam are prohibited.

oh ya, we ride the boat to see the glowworms.Here are the photos after we had finished riding the boat.



You'll see something like this( in the photo) in the cave.



The cave.Mesmerized.


We stopped at their information center as....hmm Mrs Apeng/Aman needed to wee-wee :p


We headed to Rotorua afterward.
Stay tuned for our next journey!
Love.
