The blog's dying from lack of update,so let's revive it for a bit.

o1. My Naga(read: car) is down with a major issue which is rather expected due to its age, but C***'s rather persistent with the fact that the car's sulking due to yours truly's endless blabber bout new car. Yelah, getting a new ride has been on my agenda since forever, tapi asyik la distracted (but hafta get it materialized sometime early next year tho we decided to down-size a little due to a bigger future plan). :P So yea, now I drive C***'s big car to work. His small car saya adelah hanya boleh tengok kerana memandu kereta manual adelah gagal.

o2. Work's really catching up on me, so much so I hafta work on it during the Deepavali. Urghh..doing ya work at home was sorta excruciating when the baby's staring at ya, all the while wondering why mummy was more interested at the flat looking thing(Read:laptop) rather than herself. Owh baby, sorry lah mummy kena work. Tsk tsk.

o3. Our mini-us turned 6 months yesterday. Alhamdulillah. How time flies ey? Now she's trying hard to learn how to crawl tho she can basically move about and turn 360 degrees these days - even the more reason to keep her under our watchful eyes. Baru sekejap terlepas pandang dah nak termasuk bawah sofa dah. Will write more bout her achievements later.he he.

o4. I'm all set for the introduction to solid food for our little precious (which is a thrill but I'm a wee bit sad as she's no longer exclusively breastfeed,but I can't be selfish kan? I'd like her to appreciate good food as much as we do) and her 1st solid food adelah pisang.ha ha. She seems to love it - so far. Gonna go for pumpkin or sweet potatoes next. Owh, the kiasu mummy decided to stick with organic veges and fruits since buying em makes her feels healthy! :P

o5. We'll be going back to Kedah for EID-Adha. I can't wait. :D

o6. Kidnapped a cooler box-fulled of salmon blocks from home during our last trip back to Kedah. Makanya sekarang, asyik makan grilled salmon dengan nasi or pasta - which is yummy. A guilty pleasure, but not so much of the guilt lah. Fish oil is a fat of a different kind. Balik weekend nanti nak kidnap lagi, it's hard to find a decent looking salmon here in KL or is it just me being fussy? Why look around when you could get it for free? :P

o7. I'm only half way thru the 1st book - half way down, 6 and a half books more to go. Heh, bila tahun lah nak abis?

So the other day I was watching one of those typical anak derhaka drama on tv - as expected the disobedient kid miraculously got infected by a mysterious illness and was obviously suffering on her death-bed, with the inability to pass on.

So yea, toward the end of the drama, the heart-broken mother showed up with the usual "Mak maafkan setiap kesalan dan halalkan setiap titis susu mak untuk kau" lines and everything was dandy again.

Well, I hafta say that more often than not, most of the anak-derhaka drama would ended up that way. Anak derhaka, mak sedih kecewa duka lara, anak sakit, mak tak sampai hati, maafkan anak, the end.

To tell ya the truth, as much as I could already foresee the ending for those drama, tetap lah mau tengok and I have nothing against em - tho some of em adelah terlebih drama queen, like exaggerate much?

These days memang patut ada banyak reminders pasal anak derhaka ni. I mean, dalam dok pung pang pung pang cakap sayangilah ibu bapa semua pon, banyak lagi neglected parents - tho some might say that some of those parents actually had what they deserved like "owh memang patut dia terabai macam tu, dulu dia bukannya pandai jaga anak".

Tell ya what, it's really not our place to judge and don't be too quick to judge la kan? Now that I'm a parent myself, adelah selalu berdoa for Myra to be anak yang baek, mithali and solehah as it would be a priceless harta for us dunia and akhirat kan?

Talking about kids, what up with those crazy people yang sesuka hati menyumbat anak dalam tandas, buang daripada 2nd floor bagai? Like seriously, kalau tanak anak tu, kasi je la kt orang boleh? Haih, I wish em would live a miserable life and dipanah petir.

Okay, that's the raksaksa gorgon talking.

Owh, on a lighter note, if a mother does not breastfeed her child,boleh ke nak cakap "Mak halalkan setiap titis susu mak untuk kau" or should it be changed to " Mak halalkan setiap titis susu yang mak belikan and tolong bancuh untuk kau". :P

So yea, say yes to BF - tetiba berkempen pulak apesal tah.ha ha.

Owh well, have a great weekend, I'm going to spend mine on a shopping spree for Myra's solid food equipment and accessories. Yer, strainer pon, kena beli yang baru dan cute (in pink if possible).

Yes, I'm such a macik. A happy one.

Tata.

I love books, I used to be able to finish one in few hours but that's a thing of the past. Now I could hardly finish a chapter as the little precious craves for my attention like every second of every minute of every day - not that I'm complaining, tapi tu lah, I could hardly read anymore these days.

Anyway, I still love em books, hence the trip to Big Bad Wolf (BBW) books sale with the colleagues last Friday - cheap books = happiness. Like yea, I only spent a little less than a hundred for some random books(7 of em to be exact), baby books and Sesame Street flashcards(for Myra).

Decided not to be too ambitious, so I went easy on the book hunting as kalau di ikotkan hati, memang berkati-kati lah yang dibeli. Yer lah kan, if dulu sebulan dijamin habis baca 7 buku, sekarang sebulan satu pon belum tentu lagi. Looking at the rate that I'm going, I'll probably finish em all by the time for the next BBW sale next year. Pathetic, I know. :P

Talking bout books, I'm no longer the one to go for chick flicks (the last time I did, was hmpph..3 years ago?). I mean, it's not like I detest all those endless too good to be true romance and whatnot. I'm still the hopelessly romantic soul but once you're married, you'll learn a whole new meaning of romance, sacrifice and the lot - so reading all the stories of cheesy romance just gonna lead ya to endless nothingness.

So yea, the books that I picked up recently are mostly written based on true stories - of love, life and whatnot. Even tho I shy away from chick flicks, it doesn't mean that I'm not reading bout love kan? It's just love of a different kind.Love is a many splendored thing, yes?

Owh, if there's one thing I adore bout books written based on true stories, it's the fact that you'll get the insight of someone's life whom probably living on the other side of the world - and it has been a dream of mine to see the world - but since I can't afford it right now due to work and life commitments, I'll settle by reading bout it.Owh well? :)

p/s: Going back to Kedah this weekend(yey!), perhaps I'd be able to finish one of the books whilst the parents and the little brother are making a big fuss of Myra. he he.

Pardon me for blabbering too much bout our little precious - I'm turning into one of those....

makciks.

Owh well, what can I say? Parents are like that, or izzit just moi?

Nevermind.

Owh,do ya know that we gonna reach the 6 months mark of our breastfeeding journey in few weeks? Otherwise known as Myra-gonna-turn-6-months-and-she'll-be-ready-for-solids-and-mummy-akan-bertambah-kiasu. :P

Yea, it matters to me when it comes to what goes in into my baby. I've been rather persistent in dodging all the owh-so-familiar suggestions and whatnot from people around me - to an extend that some people might think that I'm just plain rude, yer lah, bila orang-orang tua dok kasi idea suh kasi makan itu ini, yours truly buat muka seposen jer, ya know, on how baby adelah lapar sebab dok minum susu jer, cuba la kasi makan nasik lenyek ke kan? :P

Owh well, this is my baby that we're talking bout kan? The one that I carried with me for the whole 37 weeks, the one that made me gained 14kg(but thankfully managed to shed it off), the one that made me felt all dizzy and fat. So yea, it so going to be my way on the highway baby - tho it's not like I'm trying to ignore all the thoughtful ideas, tapi please let me be la kan? Bagi la idea-idea yang munasabah, yang pelik-pelik tunggu la 10 thn lagi ke?(So that I'll have more time to dodge those ideas jugak) :P

Well, they just don't have any ideas on what I have to sacrifice in order to get this far. When people around me spent their moolah on iPhone and ipads, I spent the same amount of money on a Medela Freestyle instead. Say what? Tak cukup berkorban? Lemme remind ya that I'm a gadget freak, I'm a geek. Imagine a baker without her Kitchen Aid mixer, saya sekarang adelah seorang gadget freak but no longer with the gadgets lah - at least no longer with the latest ones. Fine lah, now still ade gadgets, but of a different kind.

Okay, to get it straight. I never regret the fact that I actually turned myself into one of those obsessive bf mums. I hafta admit that it's one of the wonderful stuff bout being a mum. I mean, you could basically soothe your baby's hungry tummy at night with nothing, tak payah nak bangun pegi ambik botol, masak air, bancuh susu segala - except for a pair of working boobs lah kan?

So yea, I'm eternally grateful for that. If my working mum could actually nurse me for 4 long years(Yey Mum!), so do I lah kan? he he. Tho let's not be too ambitious, let's go thru the 6 months, 1 year mark etc 1st, one at a time. Zaman dulu-dulu tak payah beli pump ribu-ribu pon berjaya jer, so yea, what reason do I have for not providing the best for my baby?

Owh, talking bout solids, I'm going to get myself this
