Lying on the grass , hand holding balloons

Tadi I cari gambar botol medela dekat blog ni, ingat nk order from someone utk beli dari UK, dpt murah sikit. Kat Babyland husband kata mahal. I didn’t ask him to check pon the price, tapi dia teringat nk check masa beli barang for Ichiro. One thing I love about my husband, dia selalu ingat benda2 yang I tk ingat or overlook.

Botol tu mmg kene beli, kalau tak nnt nk pump, nk store masuk mana EBM? Yg dulu punya dh lunyai Ichiro lenjan. Huhu. Kalau murah boleh beli extra and ingat nk beli extra parts for the pump as well.

Masa dok cari gambar botol tu kt blog ni, terperasan alexa rank blog ni dh masuk range 1 juta balik. Wahahaha itu la bahana malas nk update blog. Padan muka. Dulu my rank sit around 400k jer. Now dah sejuta!!! Neway, dulu-dulu mmg lah kan bloggers gila nk kejar rank ni, tapi dh lama2 ni malas dah haku

Cheeky boy!

Tapi I honestly think, kalau tk kejar rank and duit iklan, insyallah boleh blog dgn lagi jujur dan ikhlas (not to forget less frequent hihi) If not tu, tajuk ponnnn nk buat tajuk controversy dgn alasan nk dpt ruang SEO or keyword or apa kejadah lagi lah. I missed blogging like old days. Masa tu blogger2 , mmg blog atas tujuan yg satu iaitu blogging. Bukan sbb iklan or rank.

I masih di kampung, cuti-cuti kampung sampai bersalin. Haha. Lega lah duduk kampung ni, sejuk jer and hijau mata memandang. My baby alhamdulillah ok-ok sahaja My son , tinggal dengan daddy dekat PJ for 2 weeks. Suppose 1 week jer, then disebabkan ada birthday party weekend yg lepas, so hubby bawak dia pergi party, jadinya tk boleh nk balik kampung hantar. So, i kene tunggu this weekend baru diaorg balik. I tried to pujuk my husband hantar my son balik kampung lepas habis party, tapi dia cakap letih nk ulang alik, because the party was on Sunday, kalau nk hantar, dia kene drive balik PJ on the same day sbb Monday kerja. If party on Saturday ok lagi, boleh hantar balik and he then balik PJ on Sunday.

With his twin brother

Tengku Rinanda invited us to her son’s superhero party and hubby was trying to find a pair of superhero costume for Ichiro to no avail. Last-last just beli t-shirt Superman jer. I told him, it’s ok the t-shirt boleh pakai lama sket and boleh pakai jalan-jalan. But when hubby told me price of the t-shirt is RM100, I nearly dropped my phone. Muahaha apa jadah mahal benorrrrr. Eventually, hubby beli jugak yg itu, mahal sbb original dari superman brand, color and quality mmg elok. So amik jer lah, coz hubby dh tk larat nk pergi cari yg lain.

So many superhero in charge The little boy with Superman costume is Dani, son of Rinie (woman in black-red top and blue skinny pants)

Ok lah before I end this, mari tengok gambar anak bujang saya yang dah makin besar ni Oh btw, sesiapa nk order baju utk wedding or utk raya, please do so quickly yer. I boleh spare few more slot jer before I labor. Nk jahit baju takes time, sbb tu kene awal2. Kalau wedding or baju fashion, paling selesa 3 bulan, sbb nk kene scout for fabric, nk send for tailoring , then beading and so on. So, lama ok.  By June I dah tk nak amik order lagi, jadi sila cepat2 jgn tunggu2 last minute. Kalau tkder masa nk beli kain, order jer lah from me. At the moment I dah ada 4 baju pengantin perempuan and 2 baju pengantin lelaki in queue , then ada abaya dress and few baju raya and also thot nk prepare ready to wear ramadhan collection. So, my schedule is pretty tight. Kalau nk order cepat2 ok. Ini bukan sajer nk buat false demand yer, tapi mmg ramai yg suka order last minute (termasuklah saya…mcm dulu2). Huhuh.

Menangis tak nak balik

Kepenatan, sampai tertido on the way back

Thank you Rinie for inviting us. Last year jungle party pon best

Till then, bye!

Ahh how I missed my blog. Sorry for the long hiatus. Didn’t mean to stop blogging it just that I wasn’t well for the past few months. Not sure though if I had any fans (lol), it just that I feel the need to explain to those who still doesn’t have a clue of what is happening or to those who cares

I’m currently 4 months + pregnant and the pregnancy sickness that I’d to endure is about as same as my first pregnancy, which is quite rough. But if to compare, I would say my second pregnancy a bit pleasant but still the sickness especially during the first 4 months is very unbearable

But, syukur ke hadrat illahi, this is what my husband and I wanted. It’s about time we want to have our second child, we tried for couple of months and alhamdullilah…here I am 4 months pregnant

I’m not 100% well and I can’t really use computer to do my work and reply all emails. Lucky there’s a thing call iphone. I have no idea how to respond to inquiry especially, without my phone. Hail to technology and Steve Jobs.

I need to cut this entry short as I can’t stand the super terang cahaya from the screen monitor. It makes my head spinning. Just wanna inform that due to my sickness I wasn’t able to reply some inquiry regarding chocolate, hantaran, stormreaders, usana and etc. I was struggling to survive hence all other things was left unattended. I really want to say sorry to those who has contacted me and didn’t get any reply, hope you guys won’t think that I’m just another inefficient online business owner. No I’m not.

Alhamdullilah, I feel a bit better now if not 100% well. So sesiapa berminat to get my service or product, you can just email me and insyallah will try my best to reply on time if health permits me. Ramai orang bertanya, mcm mana my business di saat saya tidak begitu sihat. Jawabnya, mmg tkder buat sangat. Huhu. But now slowly start again. Yup, slowly.

• For your info, my Usana business still running as usual and surprisingly demand on Usana products increase tremendously as I’ve been getting so many emails inquiring about Usana products and request to register as Usana member and my husband has been actively helping me to place the orders via Usana online website and get it deliver to customers. Bisnes Usana ni memang senang sket kalau nk beza dgn my other business. Sbb order semua online and deliver pon company yg akan deliver product. What you need to do just place the order. That’s why my husband boleh buat hehe.
• Itu Usana, then utk homemade chocolate Lonia, masih berjalan seperti biasa but limited to orders yang tidak memerlukan hiasan atau graphic. Sbb I still tk larat utk design graphic and kerja2 menghias. But if just chocolate gift pack yang tanpa deco or bulk orders utk wedding, insyallah mmg boleh sbb my sister yg in charge dalam pembuatan chocolate, my part is only taking the orders and design/deco.
• Stormreaders pula, quite similar to Usana, bisnes jual buku2 islamic online. Can check my online bookstore here http://www.stormreaders.net/mrmrsimran Siapa berminat nak beli buku or nak jadi agen boleh contact saya.
• Then, my Nilam Boutique…”sigh” the only business that I cannot do if I’m not really fit. So I had to decline few orders due to my health issue and it really breaks my heart. Because in order to design a beautiful clothes and to instruct the tailor to sew the clothes accordingly is not an easy work. It requires lots of thinking and energy put up together. Without that I’m in doubt that I could deliver my best design hence I had to say no. But alhamdullilah, syukur now I’ve started designing few designs for wedding attire to be presented to my customers soon. I’m accepting orders for raya clothes as well but only till June ya. As I wish that all orders to be completed before July sbb di masa itu adalah sudah sarat

Insyallah I’ll give birth in the month of July/August. My EDD is early August but I had a feeling that I will deliver my baby earlier than date.  So, it will be end of July or early August then, if everything goes well. Insyallah. We’ll talk more about baby later ok. Truth is I prefer to keep it low , but sikit2 boleh lah cerita

Oh I do miss blogging.

Bye!

Proton Family Day 2011

Sebahagian dari pekerja proton dan keluarga masing2 yang memenuhi Sunway Lagoon. Semua tengah breakfast dgn KFC

I keep reminding myself, next year if I were to join another proton family day, I must get up super early and be at the location earlier than everyone else (I mean earlier than other 10 thousands of Proton’s staff). No joke.

Hari tu, ingatkan dah awal dah, tapi bila sampai area Sunway, tengok bas-bas proton dah bersepah2, coming from Tanjung Malim, Pahang and from all Proton branches. Then dalam kereta semua kereta yg berpusu2 masuk parking park, semua kereta org proton. Parking dah penuh seawal pukul 9 pagi! Sebaik ada banyak lagi dekat level atas2. Haku dah panik, sbbnya we got to be in the Sunway Lagoon before 9.15 am, because nk masukkan coupon lucky draw.

Perjalanan menuju ke khemah utama (ini belum jam sangat lagi)

Hahaha I know I sounded ridiculous kan? Nk berebut2 sampai semata2 nk masukkan kupon dalam kotak lucky draw. Well, I think you need to know the prize before judging me. Hihi. Siapa tak nak kan hadiah kereta Inspira, kereta saga, tiket umrah and tiket melancong and many other hadiah saguhati like motor, ipad, computer, handphone, tablet and etc. Tell me sapa tanak kereta free??

Area pool. Penuhkan? Next time I nk bawak tent juga, letak kipas semua dalam tent. Sbb Proton nyer hari keluarga mmg selalu mcm ini lah. Penuh.

Sampai jer Sunway Lagoon, there goes my hope nk menang kereta, nk masuk jer dah cramp. Tempat beli tiket nk masuk tu, penuh dgn org berbaju oren (baju proton). Nk masuk kene rebut2. Staff Sunway plak nk kene check bag bagai, last2 diaorg kasik jer masuk tanpa check bag, sbb impossible nk check semua. Masuk jer semua org jalan cepat2 turun escalator, tkder lah cepat mana pon, sbb penuh manusia kan, I plak dengan nk tolak stroller Ichiro di tengah2 lautan manusia, mmg banyak la kaki manusia kene lenyek. Hihihi. Sorry la sesapa yg I terlenyek kaki dgn stroller Ichiro yg berat nk mampus. Banyak barang gantung termasuk lah berat Ichiro.

This is me. Self taken picture guna iPhone’s internal camera. So gambar tk berapa smooth sket. Masa ni tengah baring on my yoga mat. Feels like picnic yo!

Sebaik ada organizer event yg tunggu kt bawah escalator with kotak lucky draw tu, then lega lah i. Haha. Tapi lega sekejap jer, sbb perjalanan nk sampai ke khemah utama, sungguh mencabar. Sbb we got to amik food first, amik bag cenderahati and baru move to khemah utama. Jalan mmg jam pack gila gila gila gila. Lucky Ichiro tak cranky, he just sat quietly while mommy dia struggle nk keluar dari kesempitan ruang. Takut juga Ichiro terlemas nnt. Husband pergi beratur nk amik food.

Snap gambar masa ni baring2 bawah pokok. Tkder benda nk buat, so I play with my phone. Was trying to capture the sun sebenarnya, tapi masa ni still pagi, so matahari malu2 lagi nk memancarkan cahaya

I asyik tengok jam, sbb nya cabutan grand prize tu akan berlangsung dalam 15 minutes. Husband still beratur for food. Adehhh. I dh pasrah jer time tu. Tiba-tiba husband muncul bersama harapan. Muka anak sedara i ( i bawak my nephew) and ichiro dah bosan jer sbb diaorg tk dapat2 lagi nk main air. Hihi.

So, terus jer kiterorg jalan cepat2 menuju ke khemah utama, but sadly we stuck in the middle of human ocean again , kali ni event worse. Tak boleh bergerak langsung. Tkder movement. Sbb people coming from both direction and bertembung then kiri kanan org2 dah letak tikar n duduk jadinya lagi cramp. We tried to squeeze ourselves and pergi ke tepi sbb seriously Ichiro duduk dalam stroller boleh lemas sbb tkder udara. Stuck dekat situ dalam 20 minutes juga lah. Last-last my husband mcm cakap kuat sikit mintak laluan for the kids. Then org tgk stroller yg penuh dengan barang2 tu, terus kasi laluan. Hehe. Barulah terselemat. Nasib baik tk menang hadiah cabutan bertuah, sbb kalau menang kiterorg tk dpt nk pergi stage ambil sbb tersekat, kalau jadi mcm tu lagi lahhhhhhhhhh terkilan kan?

Ok yg ni cool kan? Matahari sangat cerah and somehow colour dia berubah jadi merah, very cantikkkk. I name this shot as “Sun-Flower”

It’s ok next time, after that dah selamat sampai kt pool, pool penuh dgn manusia juga. Siap ada pasang tent bagai. Tkder tempat nk duduk. Then we scouted for a spot utk I duduk dan jaga2 barang, dapatlah area tepi longkang. Wakakaka. Tapi ok lah sbb ada pokok and very redup. Tapi basahlah plak area tu sbb budak2 dok lari2 dgn kaki basah. Sebaik Proton kasi tikar, then I bentang, tapi tetap basah sbb tikar tu tipis jer, lucky I bawak my yoga mat. Muahaha. Getah dan tebal, so I bentang yoga mat atas tikar then susun bag jadi bantal, put on my shade, and amik fennel blanket ichiro yg besar utk cover I. Org lain jaki jer tgk I tidur atas yoga mat. Hehe. Diaorg tkleh baring sbb basah dan lantai berbatu2 sakit badan.

Ichiro’s float. Tk guna sangat pon, sbb dia dok sibuk nk pelampung besar yg macam donut tu. Huhu. I snap gambar float ni, sbb I love the colour and kaki budak kt belakang tu

Lepas budak2 dah puas main air (sebenarnya tk puas) tapi nk kene berebut naik ride pula. Cepat2 packing and naik atas utk play the rides. As I expected ride semua penuh! Argghhh tension sungguh nk kene queue. Tapi sabar kan sahaja melayan the kids. Dapatlah naik 4 rides. Cukup lah kan. Lepas tu terus balik.

Last but not least, ni pic Ichiro , but didn’t snap this masa family day, but since dah lama tk letak gambar my intan payung ni dekat blog, so here goes. Gambar Ichiro tengah kesedapan minum Yakult sambil pakai kopiah yg dia cilok dari bilik grandpa. Hehe.

Harus cuba lagi cabutan bertuah tahun depan. Hihih.

Eja betul-betul

Sebenarnya tadi dah draft satu “entry” lain, tapi tiba-tiba teringat yang saya pernah terfikir nak buat kempen “eja betul-betul” , dan masa tengah melayari blog Emila Yusof  tadi, terjumpa “entry” Emila yang juga berkenaan tentang penggunaan bahasa melayu yang betul.

Ok, sebenarnya saya tidak ada masalah sangat dengan penggunaan bahasa melayu yang tidak sempurna, asalkan ianya senang dan boleh difahami saya masih boleh terima. Tapi yang sangat…sangat…sangat tidak boleh diterima ni adalah penyalahgunaan ejaan.

Ada yg panggil bahasa sms, bahasa fb dan apa-apa jerlah..sbb itu tk penting. Yang penting adalah ejaan-ejaan seumpama “aq”, “owang”, “owunk”, “skung”, “jeww” dan sebagainya adalah sangat membuat otak mendidih okkkkkkkkkk.

Ingat nak guna lencana blog “Gunakan Bahasa Melayu dengan betul” yang Emila Yusof dah buat, tapi masalahnya kempen yang saya nk perjuangkan (cewahh poyo tak?) bukan lah tentang penggunaan Bahasa Melayu tapi lebih kepada ejaan. Lagipon Emila kata kalau letak lencana tu kene tulis bahasa melayu dgn betul, jadinya agak takut sedikit disitu. Huhuh. Jadi saya buat “screenshot” dan ambil illustrasi yang Emila lukis ni, sangat comel dan menarik Saya suka! Emila maaf nyer kalau tk boleh buat ambil gambar ni, kasi tahu saya nnt kalau tk boleh, saya akan alihkan keluar gambar di atas ok.

Ni nak tanya sikit. Apa jadahnya nk eja macam tu? Tk susah ker nk fikir ejaan2 yang tk masuk akal tu? Kalau akulah, boleh macam nk tercirit nak fikir ejaan mcm tu. Susah nk eja tu satu, ambil masa nk menaip tu lagi satu. Sbb kadang-kadang konon2 penciptaan ejaan sebegini utk menyenangkan supaya boleh taip lebih pendek, tapi cuba tengok perkataan sms “jeww” , ada 4 huruf ok. Kalau shortform yg betul adalah shj, atau mungkin “je” walaupon “je” itu pon salah sebenarnya, tapi aku boleh terima ok sbb dia tk buat otak aku mendidih dan berpusing2. Jadinya apa tujuan ringkasan-ringkasan perkataan ini dicipta? Sbb ternyata sebahagian darinya bukan “singkat” sangat pon!!

Hari tu ada terbaca dekat facebook, komen seseorang yang guna shortform ni di dalam hampir keseluruhan komen. Rasa mual nk muntah baca komen tu ok. Apakah terasa comel eja macam tu? Terasa urban? Terasa cool? Apa sebenarnya yang diaorg ni rasa bila eja mcm tu eh ? Rasa best? Sbb serasanya majoriti rasa meluat dgn ejaan2 seumpama ini.

Jadinya marilah kita buat kempen “eja betul-betul” ok . Saya bukan lah nk mintak semua org guna bahasa melayu yang jitu yang mcm nk jawab kertas bahasa malaysia spm. Baguslah kalau boleh berbahasa sebaik itu, tapi kalau tak boleh, sekadar berbahasa secara sederhana, elok dan boleh difahami pon dah memadai bagi saya. Sbb dekat blog ni umpama kita bercakap dgn kawan2, jadinya saya tk rasa saya akan bercakap dgn kawan2 saya macam nk jawab soalan kertas peperiksaan.

Tapi yang mendangkal jiwa (cewahhhh ini kira bahasa tinggi ni huhu), ialah ejaan2 sampah yang buat kita boleh rasa nak membunuh kalau nak baca sampai habis.

Sekian.
