thumb-sucking

raina's habit sometimes makes me worry! yelaa, dah berjalan merangkak sana sini then suddenly sucks her thumb especially if she see her bolster! aduhhh dan mula2 lah mama&abah die bising2, raina, jari kotor masuk dalam mulut dan die akan menyengih tunjuk gigi...

raina started sucking her thumb when she was around 6 months old... she may turn to her thumb when she feels hungry & thirsty! so i will offer her milk first, then i will give her biscuit or water if she doesn't want milk! if she got bored, she would go searching her bolster and has some “thumbsucking time”... sometimes, but not always she would suck her thumb before falling asleep.

sometimes i worried about her habit but sometimes i let her do thumbsucking as i know that will comforts her... still, there's other people worry about her too heheh too much mak angkat kat nurseri tu (bersangka baik sesama manusia!) so, i put salt, garlic, honey etc to her thumb but it never works as she was never the type who would just walk around with her thumb in her mouth or do activities while thumbsucking... so, when the thumbsucking time came, the flavors already come out huhuh anyways, searching about thumbsucking really make me not really worry (but still i've to stop her habit!)...

Why it happens

Toddlers suck their thumbs because it's comforting and calming. Your toddler probably practiced this habit while he was still in the womb and perfected it as an infant. Now he may turn to his thumb when he's tired, scared, bored, sick, or trying to adjust to challenges such as starting preschool or going on a long car ride. He may also use his thumb to fall asleep at bedtime and to lull himself back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night.

What to do about it

Don't worry. The American Dental Association says most children can safely suck their thumb — without damaging the alignment of their teeth or jaws — until their permanent teeth begin to appear. (Permanent teeth don't usually erupt until around age 6.) Also, not all children's thumb-sucking is equally damaging. Experts say it's the intensity of the sucking and the tongue's thrust that deforms teeth and makes braces necessary later. Children who rest their thumb passively in their mouth are less likely to have difficulty than children who suck aggressively. Watch your child and analyze his technique. If he sucks vigorously, you may want to begin curbing his habit earlier, say at age 4.

If your child's thumb becomes red and chapped from sucking, you can try applying a moisturizing ointment, cream, or lotion while he's sleeping. (If you apply it while he's awake, it may just end up in his mouth.).

Let it go. Nagging or punishing your child won't help, because he doesn't usually realize when he's sucking away. Besides, pressuring him to stop may intensify his desire to do it even more. And techniques such as putting an elastic bandage on his thumb will seem like unjust punishment, especially since he indulges in the habit for comfort and security. Try to wait it out. Children usually give up thumb-sucking when they've found other ways to calm and comfort themselves, says pediatrician Suzanne Dixon. For example, while a toddler who's hungry may suck his thumb, an older child (age 3 or 4) might simply open the refrigerator and look for something to eat or ask his parents for a snack instead.

Preempt the thumb-sucking with other activities. If you can identify times and places when your child is particularly likely to suck his thumb — while watching television, for example — you might try giving him a substitute, such as a rubber ball to bounce or puppets to play with. If he tends to suck his thumb when he's tired, work more naps into his schedule. Or if he turns to it when he's frustrated, help him put his feelings into words. The key is to notice when and where sucking occurs, and divert his attention by offering an alternative.

Is it true that sucking on a pacifier or thumb ruins a child's teeth or bite?

No, not unless it continues into the preschool years.

It's perfectly healthy and natural for a baby to suck, and fingers or a pacifier can come in very handy for soothing. A child is most likely to enjoy thumb-sucking or a pacifier during the years when she has her baby teeth, and there's no reason to worry about long-term problems with the teeth or jaw at that point.

It's a good idea to discourage thumb-sucking and pacifier use before your child gets permanent teeth, though. Continued sucking after that time can lead to problems with the front teeth tipping outward or not developing properly.

Permanent teeth usually start showing up by age 4 to 6, and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that parents help children put a stop to these habits by age 3.

If your child enjoys sucking on a pacifier or her fingers, talk with her dentist. He can monitor her jaw and teeth to make sure that they're developing properly. One thing that's bad for your child's teeth at any age: dipping that pacifier in something sweet.

How to stop thumbsucking?

Instructions

Step 1
Give your child extra attention and observe if conflicts or anxiety provoke thumb sucking. If so, help him find more healthful ways to deal with stress.

Step 2
Reward your child for progress made towards her goal. Don't think of it as a bribe because it's something she earned through effort.

Step 3
Paint something that taste bad on his thumb, like vinegar or pickle juice. Don't do it forcefully or without his permission, but as a way of helping him achieve his goal. Then when he's engaged in television and sticks his thumb in his mouth out of habit, the bad taste will quickly remind him of what he's trying to accomplish.

Step 4
Distract your child when you see her putting her thumb in her mouth. If you engage her in an activity that requires both hands, she'll have to take her thumb out of her mouth to do the task.

Step 5
Invite friends over that don't suck their thumbs for frequent play dates. Peer pressure is a powerful motivator and if he surrounds himself with kids who don't suck their thumbs, it will be easier for him to not suck his.

should i buy this for her?

taska di Putrajaya

minggu ni minggu terakhir raina di Taska Bunga Padi, JPA, Putrajaya... comel kan nama taska die?

minggu depan dan tahun depan, raina akan berpindah secara rasminya ke Cendekiawan Educare, Presint 18...
baru je buka dan raina&kawan2 akan jadi perasmi taska itu...
sebelum nie pernah gak survey Cendekiawan waktu raina bayi, tapi tak jadi sebab agak jauh dan kawasan tersebut agak jammed... main reason bcoz the fees is double than i've to pay for current taska...

reason:

• dekat dengan rumah, nampak taska tu dari balkoni rumah - jarak cuma 5 minit berjalan kaki...
• saya akan pergi kursus 6-bulan pada Mac, so bile bapa die jaga, senang hantar... if raina stay at current taska, mr.R will have to ulang-alik JPA-JPM-Presint 18...
• this kindergarten is in our apartment area so it is more safer (hopefully!) if i've to come home late...
• we prefer kindergarten that's not fully air-conditioned, and this kindergarten has both air-cond and open air...
• pembelajaran yang lebih baik, pada pendapat saya lah, sebab saya dengar cerita orang yang hantar anak ke Cendekiawan yang best2 and of course i compare with current taska (for toddlers, yang memang buat saya tak berkenan sangat!)...
• OT - very the important! now, waktu balik saya pukul 5.30 pm so 5.45 pm - caj RM 5, 6.25 pm - RM 10 dan 6.50 pm - RM 15... kopak eden kalau selalu balik lambat! utk Cendekiawan - caj RM 5/ hour after 6 pm...

Cendekiawan Educare mempunyai perkhidmatan taska, pusat jagaan harian dan Kelas Al-Qur'an dan Fardhu Ain serta transit untuk pelajar Sekolah Rendah... other branches are;

• Bangunan TADIKA CENDEKIAWAN, Jalan P9G1
  (berhadapan surau Presint 9 & bersebelahan taman permainan Presint 9)
  03-8888 9967 / 019-382 1377
• Perbadanan Putrajaya

other option (near our home!), actually we don't survey... semua ni atas recommendation orang yang pernah hantar anak...

Tadika Nasyrah (office kindergarten) - the most preferrable and highly recommended but very hard to get chosen as priority for the staffs! branches list;

• Blok C7, Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam,
  03-8885 6384 / 012-217 9475
• Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri Koperasi Dan Kepenggunaan
  Presint 2, Putrajaya
  012-632 6308 / 012-217 9475

Taska Nasyrah baru buka satu lagi cawangan di Jabatan Peguam Negara (AGC) Presint 4, dekat dgn rumah saya juga... tapi for sure priority utk staff AGC gak, huhu..

Taska Zrin, Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) - ini saya pi survey tengah tahun ni, ok gak, spacious room, toilet bersih, kawan saya pergi survey baru2 ni, cakap tak buka utk orang luar lak, priority for KBS staff only :(


ni pulak another option taska2 di Putrajaya, tak semua saya masukkan dan of course, saya tak tahu detail - pembelajaran, kebersihan, fees, security etc... kebanyakan dengar dari kawan2 dan ask mr.Google...

• Taska Ikhlas Bestari (office kindergarten) - Kementerian Perusahaan dan Perladangan Komoditi (KPPK), Jabatan Audit Negara dan Jabatan Imigresen
• Ilham Putra - Presint 9B
• Taska Generasi - Presint 9B
• Children Islamic Centre - Presint 9, Putrajaya (Belakang Petronas), Taska - Presint 11, Presint 15
• Smart Reader Kids - Presint 15, Presint 8
• Tadika Krista
• Tadika Q-Dees - Presint 15

anyways, hopefully my little sunshine enjoys her new environment @ new place and new life as mommy will not be around every lunch hour :) huhuh mak die yg sedih tak dapat tengok anak time lunch :(

kek batik

wah saya rela tak masak daripada makanan tak habis dan membazir, alasan malas masak hahah saya lebih suka menjahit sebab lebihan kain/ kain perca boleh dibuat quilt, ahh alasan lagi :p

tapi, camne dengan roti ngan biskut? takkan nak buang gak... dulu, saya buat cucur roti dengan lebihan roti... lepas saya letak dalam blog, ade kawan saya komen - awe, ko dah kahwin, takkan letak resepi pasal cucur kot? terus angan2 saya nak berkongsi resepi padam, lebih2 lagi resepi biasa2... huhu, tak macam azree dan k.seri yg terer masak macam2, sue dan suen&matt yg suke try lauk macam2, k.hana yg pandai buat kek, just to name a few blogger...

sekarang, saya nak letak gak :p bukan berkenaan resepi biasa2 tapi lebih kepada apa nak buat jika ada makanan yang dah takmau makan tapi taknak buang, redecorate la kan, ape lagi :)

ni kek batik, 1st time saya buat kelmarin!
1st time makan time room-mate kat Taayah, Sufina bawa...
sedap giler weh, mau separuh bekas saya bedal!

2nd time makan time pergi rumah imah, UKM-mate, die buat sendiri dan saya cakap, waa tererlah ko imah...

ni saya buat sebab saya terjumpa biskut jagung yang dah masuk angin tapi taknak buang! orang buat gune biskut meri tapi saya suke2 hati gune biskut jagung! adik ipar saya cakap kawan die gune biskut Jacob, ade rasa masin2 sket :)

alhamdulillah sedap gak! buat pun senang, tak sampai 5 minit pun :) resepi saya dapat dari banyak sumber, ask je Mr.Google ;p

semalam saya down...

semalam saya down lagi sebab ada nursery-mate pertikaikan kenapa raina tak diberi susu formula (FM)... masalahnya, yang mempertikaikan itu adalah ibu beranak 3 yang BF anak die (walau campur dgn FM time kerja), yang BF anak ke-2 sampai umur 4 tahun, yang sanggup balik rumah babysitter tiap kali lunch utk BF anak die (sblm anak die dapat tempat di nurseri ni)... wah mentang2 anak die bertubuh besar ikut mak die...

naik pejabat terus tengok blog suraya berkenaan growth chart utk bf-baby dan saiz anak tiada kene-mengena dengan BM @ FM, konon2 nak emel pada kakak tu... msg sue minta pendapat, huhuh balas sue, what do they expected utk raina lebih besar? kan mak bapa die kecik, yang penting raina sihat dan tumbesarannya aktif macam baby seusianya... kata seorang kawan, raina bukannye kecik... rangka raina kecik tapi die tembam... nasib mata raina sepet ikut mak die, sebab raina tembam tak macam mak bapak die halus.... biasalah kalau baby susut kalau dah start lasak kemain, lagi2 kalau tiap petang kitorang bawa die jalan jogging kat taman...

nurse pun tabik sebab saya masih full-BF anak saya... setiap kali check-up di Klinik Kesihatan Putrajaya, akan ade satu buku soal-selidik berkenaan BM dan FM... dan saya dgn bangganya berkata, alhamdulillah saya BF lagi anak saya... dan tiada nurse yang pernah mencadangkan utk menambah FM dalam diet anak selagi saya berkemampuan utk BF anak saya...

wah wah kakak tu taw kot saya marah, terus menambah, raina tak cecah red level lagi kan? red level tu lowest level dlm growth chart... dan doktor pun cakap, raina ok selagi die sihat, aktif dan tiada simptom2 pelik yang lain :)


ni saya copy dari blog sue berkenaan growth chart... hope jadi panduan untuk ibu2 BF yang menghadapi masalah seperti saya;

Kebanyakan doktor masih menggunakan Growth Chart tahun 1977 dimana:

• Kajian dibuat berdasarkan bayi Caucasian (yang lebih besar dari Asian) yang dibuat di Ohio dari tahun 1929 hingga 1975
• Kebanyakan daripada mereka adalah formula fed babies
• Dan diberi makan seawal usia 4 bulan (sebelum polisi diubah kepada 6 bulan ke atas)
• Nyatanya, growth chart ini tidak sesuai untuk breastfed babies!

Growth Chart pada tahun 2000 pula adalah kombinasi antara formula fed dan breastfed babies dimana chart ini agak ‘mengelirukan’ bagi mendiagnosis keadaan kesihatan bayi berikutan kadar pertambahan berat yang berbeza

Growth Chart terbaru dari WHO dikeluarkan pada 27 April 2006.Ianya berdasarkan daripada kajian dan pemerhatian terhadap 9000 bayi yang menyusu secara eksklusif sepanjang 6 bulan pertamanya. Chart ini juga boleh digunakan oleh formula fed babies bagi mengakses tahap ‘lebihan’ beratnya kerana susu formula meninggikan risiko obesiti di kalangan anak anak kita.

Anak anda tidak kurus kerana kurang khasiat! Dia kecil sebab anda dan suami bertubuh kecil. Ibu bapa yang berinformasi tidak akan membiarkan sesiapa (atau doktor) undermine keyakinan anda terhadap susu ibu!

She’s doing fine ….just fine….

Chart for boys, birth to two years, showing percentiles (pdf)
Chart for girls, birth to two years, showing percentiles (pdf)

Nota mommy Luna: Ada juga doktor yang menggunakan growth chart yang diberikan secara percuma oleh syarikat susu formula untuk mengukur kadar pertumbuhan bayi yang nyata tidak sesuai untuk breastfed babies.


anyway sue, tQ for ur full support! :)

tips for travel

bapa saya selalu bawa kitorang pergi jalan2...
lepas kahwin, ade gathering sekali pergi Cameron Highland (rombongan mak buyung) dan lepas dapat anak, pergi Fraser Hill pulak...
gathering tahun depan pun dah plan...
tapi, saya tak pernah jalan mane2 pun dengan mr.R dan raina sahaja kecuali pergi Genting ade kursus dan balik Perlis...
bukan nak pergi oversea pun, nak pergi over-the-sea aje...
saya teringin dan sedang survey nak pergi Sabah, Langkawi ngan Pulau Redang ;)
alasan, dah ade kawan pergi sana so senang tanya...
Pulau Redang lak sebab ada ofismate tinggal sana...

mr.R tak kesah pergi mane2, syaratnye saya kene plan...
aduh, pening banget nih...
tadi cari pasal tips2 blogger yang pernah bawa anak jalan2, takde pulak tips2 hebat atau saya yang tak jumpa...
terjumpa pulak ini untuk dikongsi bersama...

Tips For Travel

Based on content from Understanding Children: The Guidebook for Children 0 to 3 by Richard Saul Wurman, TOP / Civitas Books, 2002.

Following these simple trips can make traveling more enjoyable for both you and your baby:

1) Before you go, pick family-friendly destinations. Choose hotels with children's facilities or lodging and meal discounts. Request a safe crib.

2) Take practice trips. Take a day or weekend trip to see how your child adjusts. If your baby is six months or older, you can look at pictures of your destination and talk to her about what you'll do there. Be positive about the trip you have planned, and chances are your child will be positive, too.

3) Take it slow. Too many sights and sounds can overstimulate your baby. Limit your itinerary to one activity per day. It will be much easier to make last-minute changes that make everyone happier.

4) Take breaks. If it's a driving trip, limit driving time to between 6 and 8 hours and take a brake every two hours for diaper changes or bathroom breaks and play. End your day early so everyone can unwind after a long day on the road.

5) If your baby has started solid foods, stock up on snacks. Water, juice, and healthy, non-perishable foods are a must.

6) Pack surprises to keep the ride exciting. For babies, consider shiny objects, musical toys, pop-up toys and rattles. For toddlers, consider puzzles, action figures, paper and crayons, and story tapes.

7) Ask the hotel if they can baby-proof your room, or plan to do it yourself. Inspect the room carefully. Take masking tape to secure loose items and to cover electrical outlets.

8) If you plan to fly, consider buying your baby her own seat for a safer, more comfortable flight. You can bring your baby's car seat to fit into the plane seat. Some airlines offer children's discounts. Feed her during takeoff and landing to help her ears pop, and keep her hydrated.

9) Start and end early. If your baby is at her best early in the day, sightsee in the morning and reserve the afternoon for relaxing. Try to stick to your child's routine.

Travel Checklist

Whenever you're traveling with your baby, be sure to bring along:

• Diapers (one for each hour you'll be in transit, plus a few extras), diaper rash ointment, wipes and lotion
• Food/formula - take extra in case of travel delays.
• Blankets - one for comfort, shade and warmth, one for lying down, and one for burping.
• Clothes - one or two outfits per day, plus extras. Don't forget socks and hats.
• Collapsible play yard.
• Collapsible or lightweight stroller or a baby carrier.
• A small tub for bathing (for infants and younger babies).
• Car seat.
• Favorite toys, stuffed animals, books, etc.
• Medicine.
• Toiletries - in addition to what you normally use at home, you'll find it handy to also bring along easy-travel items such as null (for quick and easy clean-ups) and null (for convenient moisturizing).
• Plastic bags for soiled diapers, clothing and shoes.
• Electrical outlet covers.

wahh pictured myself hiking at Gunung Kinabalu, shopping at Langkawi and snorkelling at Pulau Redang...
insya Allah lepas raina pandai jalan, panjanglah langkah kami :)

kerja rumah

jikalau diberi pilihan antara semua ini, apa saya akan buat dahulu ye?

• lipat baju
• main dengan raina
• gosok baju
• online
  
• masak
• jahit manik
  
• kemas rumah
• shopping

turutannye akan jadi begini;

• main dengan raina (1)
• jahit manik (2)
• online (3)
• shopping (4)
• lipat baju (5)
• gosok baju (6)
• kemas rumah (7)
• masak (8)

patutlah rumah saya bersepah dan kadang2 aje masak hehehe


p.s:
saya sungguh kedekut nak hantar baju gosok kat kedai dobi, padahal caj RM 1/sehelai kat kedai dobi apartmen saya ;)
kalau 10 baju kurung, dah rugi RM 20...

anyway, i'm No One compared to her...

susu badan

perbualan di nurseri dengan babysitter pada pagi rabu lepas,

saya: yana senang jaga raina?
(raina selalu dipuji paling senang jaga sbb paling tak suke kacau budak lain ngan pandai bawa diri a.k.a. tak peduli hal org lain)
babysitter: raina paling senang jaga... eh, kak hawa tak nak tambah susu tepung ke?
(ooo, saya bersyukur sbb nurseri kat lobi pejabat saya aje, so saya akan turun pukul 10 pagi dan lunch hour untuk susukan raina)
saya: kenapa kene tambah?
babysitter: raina kecil la, biar tambah berat...
saya: nanti dulu lah, tunggu die jalan...
(dalam hati, ade kene mengena ke susu badan ngan badan kecil... saya&mr.R kan kecil orangnye, mane mungkin anak saya besar2)


pagi esoknye...

babysitter: nanti siapa jaga raina time k.we pergi kursus?
(saya akan pergi kursus 6-bulan yang ditangguh pada Mac tahun depan)
saya: tak tahu lagi, bapa nye lah kot...
babysitter: meh saya jaga...
saya: ala konon, awak tu mengandung, nanti pantang dengan nak handle baby lagi...
babysitter: takpe, raina senang jaga, saya bawa balik kuantan lah time pantang...
saya: ermm, die senang jaga sebab die susu badan kot...
babysitter: betul gak kot...


waktu pregnant dulu, saya sungguh ekstrim sekali dengan nak susukan anak, hasil bacaan kat web kesihatan dan blog2 serta dengar kawan2 cerita, anak yang minum susu badan kuat antibodi (macam nida yg jarang demam tapi kalau die cakap jarang demam nescaya esok die akan demam hahah) dan dengar cakap...
siap bincang pasal breastpump ok dengan kawan2 lelaki yang bujang yang selalu pasang telinga, pesanan breastpump dari lunatots pun sampai ke pejabat dan dengan bangganye tunjuk kat semua orang ;p
kadang2 bengang dengan orang yang memperlekehkan saya menyusukan anak, saya tak pernah cakap ape2 kat diorang pasal FM...
terpulanglah pada mak2 nak bagi susu ape, mungkin mereka ada alasan2 tertentu yang diorang sendiri tahu...

setiap kali pergi ruang susu tepung (sure terserempak sebab sebelah ruang baby bites kat Manjaku, dan nampak tulisan SUSU IBU ADALAH MAKANAN TERBAIK BAGI BAYI)...
saya tak sampai hati nak bagi anak saya susu tepung sebab saya tahu saya ada kelebihan untuk susukan anak saya, lain lah kalau susu tak banyak atau susu tak keluar atau ibu sakit kene makan ubat yang akan beri kesan pada anak...

ape pun, saya suke sebab makin ramai geng susukan anak kat nurseri...
walaupun diorang campur FM sebab tak pam time kerja, tapi seboleh mungkin diorang akan bagi susu badan time lunch :)
alasan sebab raina jarang meragam dan susah nak dengar die nangis padahal die akan nangis setiap kali saya nak balik pejabat, boleh?

apepun, saya nak share gambar saya public breastfeeding...
dulu, setiap kali nak kuar kene perah susu dulu dan bawa cooler bag, termos, bagai...
sekarang, mane2 pun boleh :) alhamdulillah...

@ Pullman Putrajaya Resort, Putrajaya

waktu birthday raina @ Putrajaya Cruise...
siap angkat kaki lagi tu :)

tentang jalan

raina pulling herself up to a standing position (stand without support by herself ) the day after her 1st birthday...
when her 1 y.o. check-up, nurse said that learning to walk takes a lot of practice, which can go on for a long time, same goes to roll over, crawl, sit etc...
so, me&mr.R continuously trained her to walk either @ shopping mall or strolling at park...
and bought her non-slip shoes - perfect for pre-walker, quite difficult to search the right size as her size is baby size, not toddler size :)
most of the baby shoes has the soft tapak kasut so it's not suitable @ jalan tar or park...
last week (Tuesday), she took her first unsteady step @ nursery when i'd my 1-hour quality time with her during lunch hour as usual...
and last Tuesday also night, she's took 4 steps before jatuh terduduk....
and of course, me&mr.R were so stunned and lompat2 seronok sampai tak terambil kamera to snap her first step even the camera close by...
and tonight, she can walk more than 5 steps before stoop down and then stand back up again...

it was a memorable moment to see my toddler bertatih, gonna missed all those 1st time of raina...
anyway mr.R said sambil gelak2, die jalan laju macam awaklah! tak tahan dowhhh :p
it's wonderful how ur child reflect u so much, my friend said, hawa, die macam ko, takde macam redza pun... peramah, suke senyum, suke buat hal sendiri, tak memilih makan, susah tidur malam (yg ini ikut dua2)...
hopefully die mewarisi sikap sopan mr.R hahahah

p/s:
k.jar, haneen dah boleh jalan lom?
pictured raina&haneen as flower girl and nazhan as page boy for makTeh's wedding :) awww sure cute :p

tentang makan lagi

raina doesn't want to eat porridge only even i put carrot, potato, chicken etc, kat nurseri boleh pulak... usually i will make chicken soup, sup ikan merah, singgang, masak kicap, sup sayur and prawn too to eat with the rice @ porridge! sotong & daging kadang2 aje sebab gigi raina baru 4, nak masuk 6 :)

now, it's really hard to make raina finished her meal... usually i will eat together with her, she likes it bcoz she knows she has the same grown-up food with me... but sometimes if she has her dinner earlier, it means no more bumbo seat! (yes, she's already know how to get out-of-seat since she was 11 m.o)... dinner will be served around the living room! die akan ke sana ke sini, bawah meja pc, bawah meja makan, almari, tepi playpen, atas sofa, no wonder semut pun makin banyak!)...

it really keeps my patience away! huhu anyway fikir2 balik why i should be angry with her? i don't want to be mad just bcoz she doesn't want to eat! she will finished her meal and it really takes time... so, the solution was i divided the food into small portion (same goes when i was in primary school, dah tak larat makan tapi taknak membazir :) suap her and let her play around while me watching tv, online, lipat baju ke and suap her again another few minutes...


and it goes well, she finished her meal while i keep my temper hahah

makan tido

saya dah try ajar raina untuk cuba makan sendiri - biskut, cut fruit, finger foods or something that can be hold since she was 8 months old (ikut buku!) but she just stares at them or play with it... so, saya rase belum tibe masanya lagi...
when raina almost 1 y.o., kat nurseri ade mak budak yg saje2 bagi raina biskut dan alhamdulillah she inserts into her mouth and eat it... walaupun, die akan kemam biskut sampai lembik baru makan despite of bite it straight away, but of course i'm glad...
senang keje mama, make her sit down on her bumbo seat and give her biscuit... usually the long piece will take 10 minutes... but she's done with the 3rd biscuit, already full maybe... and she will throws away (ish, tak baik membazir macam ni raina!) and end up, me finished it!
nway, rupenye penat makan biskut ye sampai tertidur2 anak mama ni :)

jualan SPA & facebook

arini datang kerja hari Jumaat? (esok dah nak cuti!)...
orang pelik, alang2 baik cuti seminggu kan?
alasan, mr.R kerja pagi ngan nak pergi jualan, boleh?...
ala, lama tak pergi jualan kat SPA niat nak borong...
jualan kat SPA ni ala2 mini Jalan TAR, macam-macam ada - makanan, kek, pakaian wanita, bayi, kosmetik, tupperware, pokok? with affordable price...
orang jual insurans pun berlambak2...

hasilnya - 1 baju (beli sebijik macam nida), 2 tudung (macam tudung Z&Z pun ade tapi lagi murah), 3 sticker...
tu je tapi lebih RM 100 gak, tujuan asal nak beli baju raina tapi tak jadi lak...
ramai orang malas nak berebut (alasan?), bayangkan baju kanak2 (jenama baby kiko, anakku, strawberry etc leh dapat sampai RM4 sehelai, cantik2 lagi tu!)...
kalo baju branded - Carter, GAP, Polo, Zara etc macam harga yg dijual kat blog2 but of course without postage charge!

nway, lama sangat tak masuk ofis... tak sangka ade berita gembira sampai ke telinga...
facebook leh masuk?
frienster kene block, nak download lagu , movie kene block...
facebook boleh? sebab PM baru ade facebook...
ermm, tapi tengok facebook kat rumah gak huhuh :)

Restoran Radix

bertolak dari Perlis @ 11 pagi, singgah sat Mergong ambik sepupu mr.R, linda nak balik UiTm Shah Alam....
mr.R nak singgah kat Sungai Petani nak makan kat Radix Pizza House...
merata lah kami cari sebab kat Sungai Petani aje ade 5 kot Restoran Radix (bawah MLM HPA!)

- Radix Fried Chicken (RFC) kat Tesco Laguna Merbok...
- Radix Chicken Rice House, yang ni bukan bawah HPA tapi bawah orang HPA gak...
- Radix Pizza House (RPH), piza & western food...
- Radix Oriental Cuisine (ROC), masakan cina...
- Radix Bakery House (RBH), ni bukan restoran tapi kedai bakeri... boleh makan kat sini gak, ade kek, cupcakes, roti, ban etc...

so, seperti yang dirancang, kami pergi RPH... sebelah Village Mall aje rupenye...
dari tol Sg. Petani (U), belok kiri jalan terus aje, akan lalu byk traffic light sampai nampak Restoran Nasmeer, belok kanan then masuk kiri...
carilah area2 situ :) kami jalan straight aje lepas tol, tu yg tak jumpa2...
dah lama mengidam lepas mengidam makan RFC....
tak ramai lagi orang, belum masuk waktu lunch lagi...
ramai orang take-away, eh delivery pun ade :)

alhamdulillah, sedap semua makanan kat sini... murah gak dan confirm halal...
saya makan 1 slice piza ngan share spageti ngan mr.R pun macam nak pengsan kenyangnye!
overall thumbs up :)
yg bestnye, saya minta ape aje sure mr.R tak kesah sebab die akan dapat point gak sebagai ahli HPA :)
lepas tu, roger ke ROC & RBH tapi tak masuk dalam ROC, jenguk2 dari luar aje...



wuahhh, ni dah mengidam RFC balik...
jauhnye nak pi Sg Petani & Kluang :( cepatlah buka RFC kat Selangor...

Bukit Ayak

hari Selasa takde plan pergi mana2, ingat nak pergi Padang Besar tapi takde barang nak dibeli...
mr.R ajak pergi Sungai Petani makan kat Radix Oriental Cuisine (restoran makanan cina) ngan Pizza House tapi seriously saya tak larat dah, 2 hari ulang-alik Kedah-Perlis...

so, saya, mr.R decide nak pergi Bukit Ayer sekali ngan raina, makCik, anna&aida (adik2 ipar) ...
kalau ikut papan tanda, tulis Bukit Ayer tapi kat sini glamer Bukit Ayak...
jarak cuma 15-minit berkereta dari rumah kami...

bagi raina main air, tinggal baju ngan pampers aje...
serius sejuk giler, tengok orang mandi2 tak boleh jadi ni, kene join sekali...

so, kitorg pun balik rumah semula...
otw balik hujan rintik, hati pun start hujan gak doa2 jangan hujan, dah lama nak pergi air terjun ngan pantai tak pergi2...
last time pergi Cherating pun time mengandung 2-minggu tapi tak mandi pun :(
lepas asar, bertolak balik... siap2 pakai baju nak mandi, bawa baju bersih, makanan bagai...
mula2 masuk kolam slow2, serius sejuk giler weh...
raina pun kami mandikan slow2 kat kolam, takut demam terkejut aje...

kami menuju ke air terjun, tadi penuh... mane boleh tengok je kan, sure nak main gak :)

adik2 ipar sampai dulu...

batu tak licin, raina pun ok gak mandi kat sini...

yang ini pulak, the best backache massage & best foot therapy in the world...

wah wah nama pun anniversary kan, haruslah ade gambar suami isteri saja :)





sementara adik2 ipar jaga raina :)

insya Allah kami datang lagi setiap kali balik Perlis... cantik kan?
