Tak sangka, dah nk kembali ke klang valley. mmg tak sangka this soon. Lepas ni kalo aku ke penang, mungkin utk holiday pulak. since aku mmg tak sempat meronda sangat. dan byk sangat tempat yg orang kata ada foods best aku tak sempat pegi
Aku akan bawak segala baju-baju saje kembali ke kajang weekend nnt. selebihnya, abg la kot yg tolong kemaskan. dia inform dia pon nk resign dari resident staff ni sebab setiap minggu nk balik ke kajang. tak boleh nk commit dgn responsibility jadi RS lagi dah.
Kali terakhir balik bulan lepas, aku baru je menukar susun atur rumah dan bilik kt sini supaya nmpk lebih luas. sehari lepas tu kembali ke kajang. maknanya aku cuma sempat menikmati ruangtamu dan ruang bilik yg aku kemas tu dalam masa 4 jam je. dan ditambah lagi dalam masa tempoh 2hari ni (khamis nnt balik kajang). sgt syahdu perasaan aku ketika ini..

Cerita Birthday HANNAH
i dont success in complete/fully breastfeeding her. seawal usia dia sebulan, aku dh mula bagi susu formula. sebab? sebab utama adalah kerana aku TAK CUKUP INFO dan TIADA SUPPORT GROUP. memang sejak dari pregnan lagi, aku dh tau kebaikan susu ibu dan bercadang nk fully breastfeed dia, tp sebab TAK CUKUP info ni lah, yg memudahkan aku terjebak dan terpedaya dengan arahan orang itu-orang ini utk memberikan dia susu formula.
ketika itu, walaupon aku dah beli satu breastpump yg cukup power iaitu Spectra3, aku masih tak tau jadual/bila kena pam, macam mana nk simpan, macam mana nak bekalkan sepanjang aku kerja dan segala yg berkaitan dengan isu EBM aku memang tak tahu. Kesal sungguh rasanya.
Lepas maternity leave, memang aku bawak dan usung pam tu ke opis, tapi aku TAK MENGEPAM. punya la tak tau bila nk gunakan pam tu kan. kononnya, hannah di hantar kt taska yg dekat dengan opis jer, so bebila masa free aku boleh turun direct breastfeed her. aku TAK TAU pon yang patutnya, aku boleh bekalkan susu aku utk diminum dikala aku tak berkesempatan turun melawat dia. sudahnya, bertin-tin susu dibeli sebagai bekalan utk di taska. beratus-ratus duit papa habis utk beli susu dia.
dan kesedaran timbul semula masa hannah berusia 4bulan bila dia refuse to breastfeed at all. punya lah sedih masa tu. terasa di reject oleh anak sendiri. sempat la berjumpa dengan kak rita MLO utk sesi relactation. dari situ, baru la aku tau bila patut pumping, apa kena buat dengan EBM dan segala-gala yg sepatutnya pasal breastfeeding (juga sgt rajin membelek forum dalam susuibu.com). boleh flashback kisah ni disini
Bila dah jumpa, baru la menuju tempat nk jalan-jalan yg masih belum di decide kan lagi. Abg dok tanya nak kemana. Aku pon takde idea nk g mana. Yang aku nak, pegi tempat yg ada Jusco. hehe pelanggan setia Jusco la katakan. At last, aku decide pegi Midvalley.
On the way ke Midvalley, hadif tiba-tiba muntah. adoi! spoil la. Abes baju aku and hadif bau muntah. Abg kata aku dah berpakat ngn hadif, suruh muntah sebab nnt aku boleh pau dia baju baru..haha!! tak terlintas langsung dalam hati ok!!
*papa with 2 kids*
Hari ni kita tak beli dan potong kek pon, sbb dah plan nk celebrate sama-sama dgn Abg Nazrul dan Yasmin kt kampung nnt. Mereka sepupu-sepapat ni adalah anak-anak hujung tahun. so boleh la celebrate sekali dimajlis kenduri Cik Pit nanti.
Lepas mama dan papa solat, baru la kita mula kan pencarian hadiah bday hannah.
Hadiah ni actually bukan hannah yg mintak. tp aku yg exsaited nk suruh Abg belikan utk hannah. macam best je tengok kawan-kawan hannah semua dah ada dapur sendiri. abis semua rak aku jenguk carik benda alah ni. rupanya ada kt belakang nun..
tp hannah tetap eksaited bila Abg angkut kotak ni menuju ke kaunter. sambil beratur kt kaunter, tangan dia tak lepas memegang kotak kitchen ni
"ni hannah ponyer" senyum meleret.
sampai rumah jer, hannah suruh papa bukak kotak. terpaksa la layan kehendak anak kesayangan tu. papa tak sempat berehat pon, terus installkan dapur ni.
Happy 2nd BIRTHDAY to My Princess HANNAH MARISSA
A DAUGHTER IS DEAR
A PRECIOUS GIFT FROM ABOVE
A DAUGHTER IS A TREASURE
TO FOREVER HOLD NEAR AND LOVE

Potong!!
Yang terasa nk potong ni adalah perkhidmatan post-paid Maxis aku. Semakin lama pakai semakin rasa tiada ape-ape keistimewaan. Amat jeles bila tengok iklan yg bermacam-macam promotion utk pre-paid services. Hadiah birthday la, top-up free la..blabla..
post-paid aku ni setakat mcm ni je. tak penah pon dpt diskaun ke hadiah ke. yg ada cuma lah sms bertalu-talu pasal advertisement itu ini. ada aku kesah ke dengan semua iklan tu..
dah la duduk kt kajang ni, line tak clear walaupon full bar. tiap kali call Abg, vice versa, kena berborak mcm tengah dok kt pasar malam. siap kena menjerit supaya orang disana dapat dengar. WTH kan!! sakit ati aku..and bila ada jobhunter call pon sama. asek la terpaksa keluar bersembang dekat gate sana utk mendapatkan reception dan suara yg jelas.
dan lagi satu sebab, rasanya tak praktikal pon aku pakai post-paid. sebab aku bukan pengguna telefon yg tegar. paling kerap aku call cuma Mak kt Chini, dan Abg jika
memandangkan tabung aku juga semakin hari semakin
segan
walaupon kemungkinan besar dia tunaikan permintaan aku, tp aku rasa amat tak wajar nk mintak.
so maybe soon i will say GOODBYE to my Maxis post-paid service.
aku belum ada idea, sama ada nk convert post-paid kepada pre-paid (hotlink) atau tukar saja pada provider lain.
frens, sapa ada review pasal prepaid services yg bagus ni, sila la berkongsi dengan saya review anda. kan sharing is caring and loving :)
p/s : oh yer, tak lupa nk ucapkan CONGRATULATIONS to my dear Izza for her newborn son malam tadi. and welcoming baby Muhammad Ridz Miqael - nama ala-ala ayah gitu.
Selamat berpantang dan Selamat BREASTFEED ur son yer. Insya allah nnt Lydzar n Co datang visit :)

Bitting & Children
Yes i do face this problem with Hannah. Dia akan menggigit bila terancam dan sedang berebut barang dengan sepupu dia. Mari kita baca dan lihat dengan lebih dekat mengapakah ini terjadi.
Biting is quite common among young children. It happens for different reasons with different children and under different circumstances. The first step in learning to control it is to look at why it may be happening.
::EXPLORATION ::
Infants and toddlers learn by touching, smelling, hearing, and tasting. If you give an infant a toy, one of the first places it goes to is the mouth. Tasting or "mouthing" things is something that all children do. Children this age do not always understand the difference between gnawing on a toy and biting someone.
::TEETHING::
Children begin teething around the ages of 4 to 7 months. Swelling gums can be tender and can cause a great deal of discomfort. Infants sometimes find relief from this discomfort by chewing on something. Sometimes the object they chomp on is a real person! Children this age do not truly understand the difference between chewing on a person or a toy.
Around the age of 12 months, infants become interested in finding out what happens when they do something. When they bang a spoon on the table, they discover that it makes a loud sound. When they drop a toy from their crib, they discover that it falls. They may also discover that when they bite someone, they get a loud scream of protest!
Older toddlers may sometimes bite to get attention. When children are in situations where they are not receiving enough positive attention and daily interaction, they often find a way to make others sit up and take notice. Being ignored is not fun. Biting is a quick way
to become the center of attention - even if it is negative attention.
Older toddlers love to imitate others. Watching others and trying to do what they do is a great way to learn things. Sometimes children see others bite and decide to try it out themselves. When an adult bites a child back in punishment, it generally does not stop the biting but teaches the child that biting is okay.
Toddlers are trying so hard to be independent. "Mine" and "Me do it" are favorite words. Learning to do things independently, making choices, and needing control over a situation are part of growing up. Biting is a powerful way to control others. If you want a toy or want a playmate to leave you alone or move out of your way, it is a quick way to get what you want.
Young children experience a lot of frustration. Growing up is a real struggle. Drinking from a cup is great; yet nursing or sucking from a bottle is also wonderful. Sometimes it would be nice to remain a baby. Toddlers don't have good control over their bodies yet. A loving pat sometimes turns into a push. Toddlers cannot talk well. They have trouble asking for things or requesting help. They haven't learned yet how to play with others. At times, when they can't find words to express their feelings, they resort to hitting, pushing, or biting.
::STRESS::
A child's world can be stressful, too. A lack of daily routine, interesting things to do, or adult interaction are stressful situations for children. Children also experience stressful events like death, divorce, or a move to a new home. Biting is one way to express feelings and relieve tension.
::WHAT CAREGIVERS CAN DO::
- USE THE WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW METHOD TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. When did the biting occur? Who was involved? Where did it happen? What happened before or after? How was the situation handled?
- TRY PREVENTION. If you determine that the biting occurs as the result of exploration or teething, you may want to provide the child with a cloth or teething ring to gnaw on.
If a child seems to bite when tired or hungry, you may want to look at your daily routine to be sure that he is getting enough sleep and nourishment.
If the biting occurs when two children are fighting over a toy telephone, you may want to purchase an extra toy telephone. It does not work to make very young children share. Toddlers don't have the skills to negotiate or understand another child's perspective. - --> this is sooooo true about myhannah and her cousin. always fighting for the same toys eventhough there's alot another toys.
If attention seems to be the main reason for biting, try to spend time with the child when she is doing more positive things. Snuggling up and reading a book together or rolling a ball back and forth is so much more fun than receiving a scolding.
If the child is experiencing a stressful family or caregiving situation, you will want to make everyday life as supportive and normal as possible. Predictable meals and bedtimes and extra time with a loving adult can help. Often, experiences like rolling, squishing, and pounding play dough or relaxing and splashing in the bathtub are great ways to relieve tension. In painful situations like divorce, it takes time and patience for healing to occur.
- TEACH NEW BEHAVIORS. When a child bites, show the biter with your voice and facial expression that biting is unacceptable. Speak firmly and look directly into the child's eyes. For example you might say, "No! Sara, it's not okay to bite. It hurts Jon when you bite him. He's crying. I won't let you bite Jon or another child." If the child is able to talk, you might also say, "You can tell Jon with your words that you need him to move instead of biting him. Say 'Move, Jon!'"
You may also want the child to help wash, bandage, and comfort the victim. Making her a part of the comforting process is a good way to teach nurturing behavior.
Whenever the child is out of control, you will need to restrain or isolate her until she calms down. Insist on a "time out" or "cooling off period." Wait a few minutes until things are under control, and then talk to the child about her behavior.
ok, will try to do as listed above when she started to bite again. i used to have her 'time out' before. dan repeatition is always a must. for her to remember that she is doing wrong
Spending 10minutes bath @hotel's swimming pool
seperti yg diceritakan dalam entry Beraya Haji di Shah Alam kami ambil kesempatan utk bawak hannah mandi di swimming pool hotel. ingatkan nak bawak pagi, lepas breakfast. sekali hujan la pulak. jadi, sementara menunggu hujan reda. lepak-lepak jer la dalam bilik. Abg bantai tidur. Tak lama kemudian, anak-anak pula menyusul.
Bila the 3 love-0f-my-life dh bgn tido dan hujan juga dh berenti, baru lah kami turun ke swimming pool di tingkat 3. tiada sesiapa pon berada di kawasan pool kecuali kami berempat. mungkin the hotel guesses tengah pegi beraya haji lagi :) jadi, kawasan pool amat tenang dan sunyi sekali.
Kali ni Hannah mandi dengan sependa popeye saje, sebab mama dia terlupa nk pack kan swimming suit. walaupon Abg dh maklumkan yg dia akan bawa kami menginap dihotel dan nk bawak Hannah mandi dekat pool, apakandaya mama masih terlupa. maklumla dah bergelar mama kepada anak 2. banyak urat dh putus gamaknya. umur pon dah meningkat. sarat dipikiran dengan segala macam agenda. hehe
"Hannah, tepuk air tu sayang.." Hannah bo-layan..
"Hannah, rendam la badan tu dalam air. Bend down" bo-layan lagi..
"Papa, nk kuar..nak kuar" menangis..
Haih sudahnya cuma 5minit berada didalam air.
*click-click sambil papa setelkan kakak*
Lepas amek gambar ni, kami pon naik atas semula. Tak best bawak Hannah mandi kali ni.
Melawat Alam Sari
mungkin in 2-3years, baru mereka berpindah.
rumah ni byk sangat cermin nya. masakla kalau bercadang nk pakaikan baju read:langsir utk keseluruhan rumah. abg nuwa cakap mungkin dia akan tintedkan saje cermin-cermin yg tak praktikal utk dilangsirkan. jimat sket kos buat langsir.
tp kenapa yer, rumah mahal harganya tp dinding hampir keseluruhan terdiri daripada cermin. berbaloi ke dengan harga yg mahal tu?
bila dh byk cermin, kos nk pasang grill pon mahal juga nnt. haih la, nasib baik la orang yg membeli rumah ni mmg byk duit.
ok, layan gambar yg ada..
