Zafran 1st Birthday Cake

Last week, ibu ordered a cake from a woman who has a home-made cake business at Kota Kemuning. The cake is to be sent at Zafran's nursey. Looking at her blog, her touches were pretty. So, ibu pre-assumed that my order is going to be pretty as well. Don't want to mention her blog here.

Ibu ordered a prince theme with blue color theme. The prince signifies that Zafran is the prince in ibu's heart. U know how a prince look like, rite? But.. when the cake arrived...this is what i got....

See... the prince figure on the top of the cake doesn't look like a prince...  This is what ibu expected...

The real cake that ibu got... is just boleh laaaa .. Even it is not met my request as a prince, the boy on the top was still cute. It signifies Zafran on the cake.

She charged RM20 for delivery. Ibu think it is expensive. If from her house in Kota Kemuning to Subang, she charges RM10 (she stated that in her blog), so it should be around RM10-15 only from Kota Kemuning to our house because our house is nearer to Kota Kemuning compared to Subang.

So, basically, the cake was under my estimation. Ibu don't know about the taste, tak rasa pun.. everything was given to his nursey. Zafran pun tak rasa... becoz he was admitted to hospital on the evening they suppose to eat the cake.

When Zafran is 1 year...

He can walk
He has 6 teeths
Her understand what ibu and ayah says to him and simple instruction

He likes to laugh when playing
He can play alone
He likes people give attention to him
He urges us to play ba ba chak with him..
He likes to kiss people
He know how to scratch when he feels itchy
He can say na' when he want something, especially food
He know he needs to lie down when he want to drink from his bottle
He points his forefinger to an object to communicate 
He understand, sometime he cries, when ibu scolds him for being naughty and stubborn
He smiles, he gets excited, he greets, when he sees ibu or ayah come home

whatever sayang... ibu (and ayah too, for sure) love you so much... we pray that GOD will protects you from any harm, danger, illness... and you will be a good son, a good human, and a good servant of Him.. Insha-Allah...

Happy Belated First Birthday Zafran..

Kisah Semalam

Semalam, balik je dari kerja, ibu terus tengok tv.. now ibu addicted tengok cerita Begitukah Cinta, 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. kat TV3. Best lah tengok Nazril tu. Sekarang lagi best sebab ada Haikarl yang sangat comel dan petah bercakap. Tak padan kecik... comel je mulut dia.. geram jer tengok..

*pic amik dari blog mak sedara dia.. http://annblossom.blogspot.com

Masa ibu leka tengok tv... si bam bam ibu ni rupanya tolong ibu kemas rumah... sayang zafran.. muah muah.. thanks...

 Ini lah hasil nya.... uwaaaa....!

Senyum pulak dia bila ibu start pot pet.. Grrrrrrrr

Happ... nak kena babab zafran ni tau....

Lepas magrib, ibu bukak la kotak kefsi yang ibu beli masa on the way balik tadi. Untuk zafran, ada gak.. fish donut tu... Laju betul Zafran makan, kejap je dah habis. Pastu nak lagi pulak, ibu bagi lah roti.. fish donut tu kan dah habis.. Dia campak pulak roti tu. Ibu try bagi lagi, dia campak lagi..Takkan nak bagi ayam pulak.. kan keras untuk zafran.. 

Tiba-tiba, zafran grab ayam yang ibu tengah pegang.. Ibu amik balik. Ish, marah pulak dia. Dia grab balik. Dah la tinggal tulang jer. Last-last, ibu biar kan jelah dia makan ayam tu.. Ala, bukan ada isi lagi. Isi ibu makan habis.. kang kalau bagi zafran ayam seketul dengan isi sekali, ada kes choking pulak. Fuh... beriya, bersunggah zafran tried gigit isi-isi yang ada terlekat kat tulang ayam tu.. wakakakaka... kelakor betul.

tengok tu.. sampai dua-dua tangan zafran pegang tulang ayam tu.. layan feeling makan seketul tulang ayam sendiri for the first time..

Back to Life as a Career Woman

Now, ibu's life is back on track.. one year at home as a wife and a mother to my little one gave me enough of bersenang-lenang, bermalas-malasan period. Even now when ibu is typing this entry, i am in the office, post it through the super speed wireless connection from my lappy.

First thing to adjust is our wake-up time. Before this, ibu don't bother the time when woke up.. Whether it is 7 o'clock,  or 8 o'clock..don't really observed the time as ibu is a full time housewife whose hubby usually goes to work at 10 in the morning. But now, ibu have to be out of bed on 6.30 a.m., otherwise ibu will late to work.

Second thing is ibu have to be a super master chef as early as 6.30 a.m. Everyday, little darling will be provided two containers of ibu's home-cooked rice porridge. Plus, the porridge need to blend because this comot boy will spill everything that are solid.

Third thing, ibu is back to a super smart staff. Hahahaha.. ibu was like.... i don't really care about my attire one year ago... crinkle blouse, unmatch tudung, unsuitable cloth to an event.. who cares rite? However, the current situation deems ibu to be smart and presentable as a lecturer. 

Fourth thing is.. traffic jam.. which ibu have to face it every working day... errrrgghhhhhhhhh... ni yang tak suka ni.... Actully, ibu's work place is near, around 15-20 minutes from our home (dekat je bunyi nyaaa) but because of the mr. traffic jam yang sangat degil.. it takes 40 - 50 minutes. Banyak masa, tenaga, dan duit minyak being wasted... dah la petrol's price reached the highest since 2008.. tak pasal2 pasal harga minyak naik pulak pas ni... semalam ibu watched news it was $106 setong. Ni semua berpunca dari masalah Gadaffi kat Libya. Rupanya, Libya adalah penegeluar minyak terbesar di South Afrika. Tension la kalau Najib Razak tu naik kan harga minyak pulak...

Ermm.... itu je la untuk entry kali ni.. Nanti bila2 ada story, ibu update lagi...

Kesiannya Anak Ibu...

Entry panjang berjela....

Today is ibu's first day at work.. Today jugak an incident happened to little darling because of ibu's carelessness. Little darling jatuh.. benjol and luka-luka kat atas kepala.

Ceritanya bermua macam ni.. pagi tadi ibu bangun awal, 6.15 pagi masak porridge little darling. Pukul 7.30 a.m. dah setel semua termasuk lah little darling's food and clothes for the day. Bila jam dah dekat pukul 8 pagi, ibu pun siap nak keluar to warm up car's engine. Suddenly, ayah asked ibu to look after little darling sebab dia ada urusan yang tak boleh ditangguh.

So, ibu pun dokong la si bam bam ni pergi ke kereta, letak him kat driver seat, and started the engine. Kereta pulak masa tu parked dekat luar pagar, sebab kereta ayah parked dalam porch. Ibu left little darling alone dalam kereta while ibu masuk rumah kejap sidai cradle net kat ampai. Ibu tak tutup rapat pintu kereta sebab kereta ibu auto lock. Kalau ibu tutup rapat, terkunci lah dia kat dalam kereta seorang diri.

Masa ibu dekat depan pintu rumah, tetiba ibu dengar little darling menangis.. ibu tau dah masa tu mesti jatuh.. tangisan yang kuat. Dalam hati ibu sempat lagi cakap, janganlah jatuh.. kalau jatuh pun, jangan lah jatuh teruk. Ibu sampai kat depan kereta, ibu jenguk little darling tak ada kat driver seat macam biasa. Terus terkejut ibu.. dan sangkaan ku benar... little darling zafran ibu dah meniarap atas jalan... menangis. Cepat-cepat ibu dokong, usap kepala little darling. Masa tu ibu nampak 2 benjol kat atas kepala dia.. ada luka-luka lagi.

Ya Allah... kesian nya anak ibu ni. Macam mana ibu boleh cuai sangat. Ibu terlalu confidence yang little darling takkan tolak pintu kereta tu. Ibu terlalu confidence yang anak ibu ni takkan jatuh dari kereta tu. Risau sangat ibu.. Ibu peluk little darling kuat-kuat. Ayah masa ni dah membebel sebab ibu lah little darling jatuh dari kereta. Dah la kereta kenari, tinggi seat nya.

Ibu risau sangat sampai ibu tak pergi kerja pagi ni. Ibu masuk tengah hari. Dah lah first day keje...  Ibu patah balik masa dah separuh jalan ke tempat kerja. Ibu risau amat sangat condition anak ibu. Bila sampai je rumah, little darling dah tidur. Ibu pun baring sebelah, peluk little darling bucuk dan bagitau dia ibu minta maaf. Ibu sayang dia. Then, sapu minyak gamat kat luka-luka kepala little darling.

Sayang ibu, kalau la sayang ibu dah boleh baca dan paham... ibu betul-betul minta maaf atas kejadian pagi ni.. Ibu kesal sangat sebab ibu tak jaga sayang bucuk ibu ni sehabis baik. Kemalangan macam tu tak sepatutnya berlaku. Kalau lah ibu tak tinggal kan little darling dalam kereta... Ibu betul-betul kesal.. kesian sayang bucuk ibu. Sebab kecuaian dan keoverconfidence ibu, sayang bucuk yang jadi mangsa.

Ibu tengok lepas jatuh tu, sayang bucuk ibu aktif macam biasa. Makan minum pun macam biasa. Tak ada muntah atau menangis tiba-tiba. So ibu assume tak serius. However, malam ni ibu tetap nak bawak him pergi paed. Cek kepala benjol tuh.

Pukul 12.30 tengahari, ibu sent little darling to nursery. Masa tu, little darling menangis jerit-jerit la sebab fear of separation and stranger. Kesian nya.. sedih sangat ibu tengok... Meleleh air mata ibu. Ibu tak sanggup nak tinggal little darling kat nursery dengan keadaan yang macam tu. Tapi, ibu terpaksa. Sebab nak hidup yang lebih selesa dan senang, ibu kena lah kerja.

Untuk anak ibu, zafran.. ketahuilah sayang... ibu sayang sangat pada zafran. Tak sanggup nak hadapi apa-apa yang buruk terjadi pada zafran. Sebab hidup ibu sekarang adalah untuk zafran. Ibu nak kerja rajin-rajin, so cepat naik pangkat, dapat gaji banyak pun sebab untuk zafran.. untuk jaminan masa depan zafran. I am so sorry son.. i love you very much. You are my life.

Zafran at Nursery

Alhamdulillah, at last... Ibu finally got a job which will be started very soon. So, it's time for little darling to be at day-care when ibu and ayah are at work. The day-care is in our neighborhood, 5 minute driving from our home. After all, this is the only one that ibu feel safe to leave little darling 11 hours every weekdays.

These pictures were taken during our second visit to the day-care.

Memula sampai, ibu intentionally placed little darling in the middle of the crowd. Hehehehe.. Immediately, the crowd pounced him. The boy in the middle, aki, is the first who tried to make contact with him. He spoke and touched little darling.

 Little darling was stunned. Apasal diorang ni serbu aku ni? Tu agaknya dia tengah pikir.. 

 Kakak ni being sitting beside little darling for some time. All of them were looking at aki who was being hug tightly by opah. 

 Licin nya kepala awak...

 In the babies room, Zafran asyik buat Hanif nangis.. Masa ni Hanif tengah nangis...

This is the cause of why Zafran keep on disturbing Hanif.. because of  Hanif's paci. Zafran was so attracted to it.

Naughty ye anak ibu ni kat nursrey..

Ibu really hope Zafran can adjust himself with the nursery environment asap.

Roseola

Roseola is not a name of a flower as ibu thought, also not a type of motorbike like pasola as it's sound. But, it is a kind of viral infection caused by human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6). Seriously, today is the first time ibu heard about this. The story goes like these...

Before this, ibu wrote about little darling had high fever especially during dusk till dawn. It happened on past Wednesday. Ibu thought it was normal fever as little darling's second teeth is peeking out. On the next day, something like rash appeared on his neck. Still, thinking it was normal rash, ibu applied Ezerra cream on it. Little darling used to be infected by rashes all over his neck and back when he was a newborn baby. The cream is so effective by which the rashes fade out within two days. 

Friday, little darling's fever had totally disappeared, but the rash was getting worst, red spots all over his cheeks, forehead, neck and shoulders. This time ibu used cornstarch to cool it down. Ibu wanted to bring little darling' to paed that night, so ibu called ayah but he was still in Kuantan. It was 7 p.m. Ibu came to a decision to go to paed tomorrow with ayah because ibu's lost my driving licence.

This morning when ibu woke up, little darling's face was swollen. The red spot were everywhere! Eyebrows, eyelids, scalp, and had spread on his chest. They seemed as blotches all over his face. Worrying, ibu and ayah brought him to see Paed at Umra. While waiting at Umra, a man in the registration table announced that its going to take several time as doctors was having emergency case. So, ayah said he would like to go to another clinic. With the help from high tech gadget, we managed to reached Klinik Serena  in Bukit Rahman Putra, Sungai Buloh on 11 a.m.

It was out first time being in Klinik Serena. Ramai orang kott.. We waited for almost 2 hours for our turn. Sempat gi makan nasi briyani batu pahat lagi. Bukan gi makan kat batu pahat, tapi nama kedai tu macam tu. hehehehe nasib baik la sedap... it has been a year since our last briyani dining at JM Briyani.

Dr Serena? She is friendly, very helpful, and informative. She told us that the red spots are not measles. It is  either two things; roseola if little darling will not get any fever within the next 3 days or dengue if he get fever within the next three days. Roseola is harmless, will disappeared in 5 days, however dengue is very harmful, will worsen in 5 days.  She confirmed it is not measles because the red spots appeared when his fever had recovered.

So for now, ibu need to check little darling's body temp every 4 to 6 hours to ensure he is not in fever which confirm it is roseola. Masya Allah, risau nya ibu kalu itu adalah sebaliknya.. minta lah Allah jauhkan little darling dari denggi. When we balik kampung ayah during the chinese new year holiday last week, memang little darling banyak kena gigit nyamuk. Bintat besar2. Ibu berdoa pada Tuhan yang red spots with blotch on little darling's face and body are not serious.. it just ROSEOLA...

 

 terus ibu sapu calamine lotion when zafran fall asleep

 

Teething

Couple of days ago, little darling ibu had fever. The most weird thing about him each time he is in fever, the fever appears during evening and night only. He begin to increase his body temp when it is dusk .His body will get too hot, reaching 39++ °C  around 2 until 6 a.m. However, he recovers when it is morning around 10 to 11 a.m.  

Ibu search info about this demam malam only. What ibu found is this is happened due to the nature of virus that is active at night. Kesian sangat kat little darling mucuk ibu each time he had fever. He cries and clings a lot and awake from sleep several time. He gets up in the morning lack of sleep and inactive as usual.

Yesterday night, ibu asked him.."Kenapa Zafran demam ni? Demam nak boleh jalan ke?" He gazed  to me. A depth look inside my eyes. Suddenly baru la ibu terpikir.... to check his teeth. Alhamdulillah, the second teeth is peeking out. So, Zafran had answered ibu's question. Celebrating his 10 months-old with the coming of his second teeth. 

on the right of his teeth, the gum is swollen, timbul sikit dah gigi tu

Playground Time!
