First Night of 2011

The night of the new year 2011, we went for outing. Ayah ajak ibu makan kat luar. Since dia tak makan nasi lagi dari siang, peti ais sangat desperate of raw food, tetiba ayah cakap, " jom gi carrefour. Tau tak ada carrefour baru buka?" Ibu pun set je, boleh gak gi beli groceries and ais-krim. Lama dah tak makan aiskrim ni. Ngehngehngehngeh..

Sampai je carrefour, cari tempat makan dulu. Memula masuk, we saw kind a kopitiam.. coffee something nama dia. Penuh orang. We walked to the end and found a food court. It's a small size food-court with only 5 food counters. So, agak lengang. Ibu makan mee rebus and ayah nasi goreng thai. . Sedap jugak la mee rebus u. Yey.. boleh gi situ lagi. Kalau dah memang suka makan mee rebus tu... mau ibu jadi pelanggan setia kedai tu lepas ni.

Kat kedai 1 Malaysia tu la ibu beli mee rebus. Nama je 1 Malaysia, tp makanan yg dijual adalah makanan johor.  Mee rebus johor, laksa johor, etc..

 

  

Memula sampai macam ni

 

pastu macam ni dah...

 sebuk la nak capai nasi ayah

boring dah ni tunggu ibu ayah makan lambat sangat

Siap makan, jalan lagi.. This time masuk carrefour pulak.. Si bam bam ni dah tak reti diam dalam stroller masa ni. Ayah la setia melayan. Ibu nak cepat takut lambat2 kang tutup pulak.

Ibu pun cepat2 grab groceries yg ibu nak. Pay and get out.... Lagi lama dalam tu, lagi tak terlayan lah ayah...

So, This is our first night of the new year 2011 and our first night at Carrefour Shah Alam which is just opened recently.

P/s dapat gak la ibu makan aiskrim vianetta iadaman hati hasil malam itu..hehehehe

Dungun Trip

We've been at home again since couple of weeks. Last two weeks, ayah had a work to do at Dungun. So, ibu and Zafran joined ayah as ibu don't want to be alone at home without ayah. Life is dull and bored staying home for almost a week without him.. don't know where to go, hard to shop groceries while holding little Zafran in hand, nobody to argue with, no voice prattling on me, nobody bothering when I am in the kitchen, and hatred to say "Ayah tak ada Zafran. Dia tak balik malam ni. Zafran tidur dengan ibu je malam ni yer."

We went there on thursday afternoon. We reached Dungun when night has fallen. Due to ayah was rushing, he checked in at hotel IPM, which is a walking distance to CIMB Dungun. It is located by the roadside, which made it a little bit noisy.

The second day at Dungun, ayah left ibu and Zafran in the hotel early in the morning. He gave permission for ibu to go jalan-jalan at Dungun as he was busy. So, around 11 a.m., ibu drove to uitm Dungun because that the only place in Dungun that ibu know! hehehehe.. Berbekalkan gps as a precaution kalau sesat, sangat takut sesat sorang2 kat tempat tak biasa.. finally ibu arrived at uitm Dungun.  So, ibu and Zafran loitered kat beach in front uitm for almost an hour. Tapi Zafran bukan berminat tengok beach.. He was more interested on a cat and two boys who were collecting seashells. 

During our way back to hotel, ibu saw Mayangsari resort and checked in for the next day. After Jumaah prayer, we checked out from IPM and went to Mayangsari. After all, with the rate RM110, Mayangsari is much much better in comparison with hotel IPM which is only RM10 difference. The rate is including breakfast, swimming pool (for Zafran) and a panoramic view which IPM does not offer.

We were given a room of a villa with king size bed which is exactly in front of swimming pool. It is attached to a living hall equipped with microwave and fridge.

 entrance to the other type of room by which the rate is RM70, the cheapest

   

 the most expensive villa comes with private pool which is not well maintain.. air kotor byk habuk, ade biawak and cicak mati dlm kolam,  scenary je cantik

walkway from our room to the reception and cafe

That evening, our main activity was...

 On the night, we all go for JJCM.. jalan-jalan cari makan... puas la pusing Dungun tu, lastly, ni lah hasil nya.... Pizza Hut tetap di hati ku.. Ibu would like to recommend to Pizza Hut to send the pizza maker at Dungun branch for training again.. Coz pizza yg dia buat low of quality compared to other branches in Shah Alam and Alamanda.

 extreme cheesy 6 with hawaian topping yg sangat sedikit

,

cheesy lava with super supereme topping.. sikit sgt cheese keliling tu, tak pop-out and gebu mcm yg biasa makan kat Shah Alam

 "ibu, bila nak balik? sleepy ni.."

"amik ni piza.. makan.."

The next day, we all had breakfast at the hotel as early as 7 a.m. Ibu rating for the breakfast is.. bolehla.

Two hours after breakfast.. again.. sesi mencelupkan Zafran.... hehehehe..

Lepas bermandi-manda, this happened...

huhu.. kepenatan sgt ni...

Bila Zafran dah bangun we all checked out... and sempat lah singgah jalan2 kat Mesra Mall.. again dalam kereta Zafran tidur lagi...

  

entrance to the reception, after checked out

tu ayah singgah beli keropok.. kemaman mari is the best

kepenatan la ni pas jalan2 kat Mesra Mall

Pas tu, we all head to Kuantan pulak as ayah ada kerja kat Pekan. We stayed at Kuantan two days and continued to Jerantut one day.

Zafran 8 months

Little darling mucuk ibu dah masuk 8 bulan. Some progresses are:

Motor Development:
1. Standing with support - hold to something such as bookshelves, sofa and even other people's body. (Siap buat aksi stunt lepas tangan lagi..huhuhuhu)
2. Climbing ibu's or ayah's body, laptop box, etc. Whatever things he can climb on, he will!
3. Passing things from one hand to the other hand.
4. Grasping small things on floor.. even a moving ant.
5. Sitting skill is much more better. Can sit alone without support for several seconds.

Language Development:
1. New vocab - tete, nana and baba


Cognitive Development:
1. Able to differentiate between ibu and ayah. Ex: will look for ibu when he wants to sleep, however will go to ayah when wants to play.
2. Knows where ibu or ayah were hiding when we played hide and seek. Also, when ibu is in kitchen or toilet, immediately he will come to search ibu in that place.
3. Better memory - can get on track when he is playing even after being distracted.
4. Shows understanding through facial expression or crying loudly when being scolded by ibu.

Exersaucer Time!

Taraaaaaaa.... as a sequel of this post.. ibu would like to share the news that ibu has bought a replacement of baby walker for little darling mucuk.. It is known as exersaucer. Some brands named it as activity centre. It does not has any wheel that makes it unmoving thing. Thus, it is safer than walker.

Ayah granted the whole decision on ibu to select the stuff for little darling as to ensure he cannot climb and makes stunt while ibu is busy with house chores. After considering walker, playpen, bumbo seat and exersaucer, ibu bought this new baby gear for him due to its portability, light weight, function, safety,and value for money.

First trial in exersaucer, everything looks yummy for him.

  After 10 minutes.... this is what happened

Saya Suka..

"Saya suka hisap jari kaki.. nyum nyum.." - Zafran

Orang cakap, kalau anak hisap jari kaki, nak dapat adik. Amin... Kalau betul lah kata orang-orang tua tu, lapang dada ibu... So apa lagi Zafran, hisap la kaki tu lagi.. ibu tak kisah pun, Zafran suka, ibu pun suka jugak... hehehehe..

Baby Walker is Dangerous?

Ibu was considering a baby walker for little darling mucuk. Dah asyik panjat je.. What makes ibu worry is his safetiness. He fell off several times. While ibu surveyed on the net about baby walker, ibu found several articles and discussions saying that walker is really really dangerous for baby. Why? Reasons?

1. Walker doesn't make baby walk earlier and in fact, using one too much may delay her development slightly.
2. More accidents and injuries happen in baby walkers than with any other form of baby equipment. This is because they give babies extra speed, extra height and access to multiple hazards.
3. Increased risk for burns, poisonings, and drownings. This is because the child can move faster and reach dangerous objects.

Hence, Canada has banned the sale of baby walkers. America is considering to ban it.

Ibu agree with all the above statements because ibu had an experienced seeing with naked eyes a baby fell on stairs from his walker due to he was too fast. Thus, he cannot see the stair because of the walker's toys hindered him from seeing down. 

So, since walker is dangerous, the solution to replace it, is.... jeng, jeng,jeng.... will be update in the next post... hehehehe...

Turun! Turun!

Zafran.... turun! Turun, turun..!  

Hah.. macam tu la ibu cakap setiap kali si mucuk ni panjat memanjat. Huh... little darling mucuk ibu sekarang ni tak ada kerja lain.. sejak dah pandai berdiri sendiri ni... kerja utamanya adalah panjat, panjat, panjat... so dapat la berdiri sendiri. Bila berjaya memanjat atau berdiri tu, punya lah suka, gelak2 lagi.

Paling ibu risau, buat stunt! Berdiri lepas tangan. Berkali dah jatuh ke belakang. Berdetum bunyi.. ish... takutnya ibu. Especially time ibu kat toilet ke, solat ke... Cepat2 ibu angkat, peluk, usap kepala yang terhantuk tadi. Budak kecik ni badan sangat fragile. Bila dah terjatuh atau terhantuk kepala tu, mudah berlaku gegaran pada otak. Ibu pernah baca sebelum ni, bila bayi jatuh atau terhantuk, as long as dia tak muntah2, it's ok. Tapi, bila muntah jer lepas tu, kena cepat bawak gi hospital, kena buat MRI la.. scan kepala. Na'uzubillah... semoga little darling mucuk ibu ni dijauhkan dari malapetaka dan bahaya..

Apapun, layan je lah gambar budak kecik yang baru pandai memanjat-manjat ni..

Ceh... senyum pulak bila dapat berdiri, panjat bouncer dia

Ranap la lappy ibu ... huhuhu

nak baca buku teks ibu kot... alhamdulillah..

Sofa ni port biasa panjat memanjat ni..
