Horse Ride @ DARC

Yesterday evening, we took the kids to DARC for a new experience. When we first got there, we just look around, not sure whether we were allowed to ride on the horses. But then, one of the guys who works there explained to us that as a member, we get FREE joyride (3 rounds). As a non-member, we have to pay RM5 per head.

The kids were so excited! It was a new experience to us... well, most of us... I didn't take the ride coz I'm 34th week now... huhuhu... but it was fun though.... the kids enjoyed it so much... they even begged for more...

Hubby & Hifdzi

P/S : me & baby can't take a ride, not yet... huhuhu...

There are more fun at DARC - swimming pool, archery, trampoline and much more... we're definitely going back next time!

Some Old Memories

Alhamdulillah petang tadi selesai proses men drill dinding untuk pasang rail (curtain) kat living room. Hopefully lepas ni takder la yang bergayut kat situ pulak... dah macam-macam cara dah pasang curtain tu, semuanya tercabut coz anak-anak jadikan 'buai'... huhuhu....

Dua hari lepas settle curtain kat dalam bilik tidur. Tapi yang tu tak drill pun, main paku jer. So, tinggal lagi curtain kat dalam guest room dengan kat kitchen. Yang tu boleh KIV dulu la kot. Tunggu bersalin dulu... hehehe...

Petang tadi boleh tahan jugak penatnya coz banyak yang nak kena drill. Tapi syukur Alhamdulillah kebetulan hubby balik awal sikit, boleh la dia tolong drill yang last sekali. Thanx bang (^^)...

Cendol

Keliurnya tengok gambar cendol ni.... tetiba lak mengidam nak makan cendol... lambatnya nak balik kampung... last year masa balik, sempat gi Rantau Panjang jap ngan ma dan adik, so dapatla merasa cendol... seedaap.... hihihi... jauhnyer kena 'merantau' baru dapat makan cendol... huhuhu.... balik kampung nanti, nak makan puas2 (^^) insya Allah, mudah2an ada rezki....

31st Week

Illustration only

Cepatnya masa berlalu... sedar tak sedar, dah pun 31 minggu pregnant. Kalau sebelum2 ni, sampai ke 39 minggu pun Alhamdulillah still boleh berlari kejar anak2 lagi, boleh exercise kejar anak2 kat playground, boleh dukung yang masih kecik... tapi kali ni, 31 minggu pun dah rasa terlalu exhausted. Nak lari kejar anak2 pun, kalau dah terpaksa sangat. Nak ke mana2 pun, kadang tu rasa cam kurang rajin jer... dukung Fathi dan Hifdzi pun sebab kesian kat depa bila depa merajuk.... Naper jadi camtu ek? Sebab tak larat? Dah makin bertambah usia?... hmm... actually sebab tenaga dah terlalu banyak digunakan untuk benda2 lain....

Dulu, tak perlu drive tiap hari. Sekarang tiap2 hari drive hantar dan amik Aisyah sekolah. For those yang drive kereta auto + power stereng, maybe it's a small matter. But me... I drive a manual car.... ulang sekali lagi yer, kereta MANUAL + stereng biasa... my mom said after dia pernah drive sekali my car – stereng kereta kami berat woo..... (bukan ayat dia la, just mafhumnya... hehehe) So, sekali tu jer lah dia drive my car.... huhuhu... but still, eventhough it's a manual, but it's our precious one... sentimental value tuu.... sayaang.... (^^)

I'm My Bb's Teether (^^)

Illustration only

Babies who are about to grow teeth are tend to BITE. Normally we would give them soft things such as TEETHER. There are so many designs, sizes and brands out there. But I bet you won't find any 'MAMA' brand at any shop (^^).

But here, at my home, we do have a 'MAMA' brand teether... that's ME... hehehe... I've been my kids' teether right from the eldest one till Hifdzi, eventhough we do have real teethers.  The girls didn't bite as much as the boys though, and not as hurt. Till today, Fathi and Hifdzi still bite me, eventhough they already have more than 8 teeth! It won't matter if they just bite, but the way they bite me, as if I'm a chicken DRUMSTICK!... and they won't bite just once at a time, but many times... huhuhu... hurts so much....

But syukur Alhamdulillah, they only bite me, and sometimes they bite my hubby (not as much as they did me though). Some kids even bite other people or other kids! It's a relief that my kids aren't like that.

Maybe it's their way of showing protests or anger, coz they normally do that when someone irked them. Oh my boys! One day, when they grow up, I want them to read this (^^)... it's a sweet memory... one of their naughty moments....

Turunkan Ilmu Pada Anak2

SweetHeart Lovely Keychain

Antara aktiviti di waktu lapang - design dan jahit PVC keychain. Makin hari rasa makin berbaloi bila dapat habiskan masa dengan benda2 berfaedah. Especially kalau anak2 dan hubby suka serta support. Bila diingatkan balik, rasa bertuah sangat coz masa sekolah rendah dulu, mama dah ajar menjahit (tangan dan mesin). So, bila dah besar camni, takderlah nak kena cari kelas jahitan. Bukan saja dapat jimat duit, bahkan boleh buat duit!

Moral of the story, kalau kita ada apa2 skill atau kelebihan, ajarkan pada anak2. Especially kalau anak dah tunjuk minat nak belajar. Setakat ni yang betul2 suka menjahit dan yang betul2 suka art, anak saya yang sulong, Aisyah. Dia suka sangat kalau tengok saya menjahit atau baking. Bila ada kesempatan, bila adik2 dia dah tido (tu pun dah tengah malam), boleh la saya bagi dia buat yang simple2. Tapi berjaga malam la jawabnya kami dua beranak... but it's worth it, coz dia happy... dan Alhamdulillah setakat ni, hasil dia cantik2 (^^).... betul2 anak mama... hehehe (mode perasan la tu... hihihi...)

Flower Patch

Xtvt time2 boring.... cari baju atau seluar anak2 yang lama atau yang takder decoration, cari idea nak buat design apa, reka2, then gunting kemudian jahit patches. Hasilnya.... kan cantik tu (mode perasan) hehehe.... apa yang penting, anak2 suka dan saya pun happy bila tengok mereka gembira bila pakai baju atau seluar tersebut.

Simplest design

Ada kawan yang tanya saya, saya attend kelas jahit ker? Err.... confuse jap nak jawab. Jahitan kat atas tu, rasa2nya simple jer. Tak perlu nak attend kelas. Kalau nak menyulam, maybe perlu attend kelas sulaman atau boleh refer buku bagi yang dah ada asas. Atau kalau nak jahit baju kurung etc. memang la perlu attend kelas jahit. Tapi, kalau setakat nak jahit patch ni, atau nak tampung baju yang koyak, rasanya tak perlu kot.

Saya tak pernah pulak attend mana2 kelas jahit. Tapi, maybe sebab masa sekolah rendah dulu mama dah pun ajar camner nak jahit, either jahit guna tangan atau jahit guna mesin, dua2 pun mama dah ajar dulu. So, kalau setakat nak jahit yang simple2 tu, insya Allah boleh la. Bila fikir2 balik kan, Alhamdulillah la mama sanggup nak ajar dulu, kalau tak, mesti sekarang ni merangkak2 kalau nak jahit baju... huhuhu....

Moral of the story, masa anak2 kecik ni, ajar la mereka semua kemahiran yang kita ada. Especially kalau mereka tunjuk minat pada satu2 kemahiran tu. At least bila dah besar nanti, mereka boleh berdikari. Betul tak? (^^)

Weekend Xtvt

Tournament @ Summit - Hubby punya company tournament

Tengah prepare nak 'berperang'

Lepas 'perang', ke PWTC untuk Biz Function

Weekend jadi lebih bermakna bila dapat spend dengan anak2. Walaupun kadang tu, agak stress dengan gelagat mereka yang tak boleh duduk diam, tapi di situlah manisnya kehidupan... tulah yang hubby selalu pesan bila dia tengok saya stress sikit.... memang betul apa yang hubby pesan... bila anak2 happy, kita pun akan happy walaupun penat melayan segala karenah mereka... lagipun, bukankah anak merupakan amanah dari Allah? Buatlah yang terbaik untuk mereka, insya Allah besar ganjaran di sisi Allah....

Nama - Doa & Harapan

Just sharing my thoughts....

sekarang ni, ramai yang ketandusan idea bila nak namakan anak mereka. Kenapa yer? Maybe sebab mereka terlalu inginkan satu nama yang unik dan canggih coz dah jadi trend sekarang ni nama anak2 semuanya canggih2 belaka.

Bagi kami suami isteri, unik atau tidak, canggih atau tidak, semua tu tak penting. Apa yang penting pada nama adalah MAKSUD serta HURAIANnya kerana nama adalah DOA dan HARAPAN kita sebagai IBU BAPA terhadap anak2 yang dilahirkan. Baik maksud nama yang kita hadiahkan pada anak, insya Allah baik jugalah akhlaknya kerana setiap kali kita panggil dia dengan nama tersebut, kita sebenarnya sedang mendoakannya.

That's why, sejak sekolah rendah sampailah sekarang ni, bila saya introduce diri, saya akan sebut nama penuh, NAJDAH. Dan bila orang tanya saya nak panggil apa, saya akan jawab 'NAJDAH'. Nama pun dah singkat, rasanya tak perlu la nak disingkatkan lagi. Lagipun, nanti hilanglah maksud nama kalau dah disingkatkan. Tapi kan, ada jer yang singkatkan nama saya... huhuhu... sedih rasanya bila ada yang panggil dengan nama separuh ni... parents hadiahkan nama NAJDAH ni, walaupun tak seunik dan secanggih nama2 lain, merupakan doa dan harapan mereka supaya saya jadi hambaNya yang baik dan suka menolong orang. Hopefully, in future, semua kawan2 akan panggil saya NAJDAH, insya Allah....

Open House Menu

Among what I prepared for our Open House last Syawal...

Jelly (made 4 pieces of these)

Custard Tartlets... delicious...

Sales @ IPC

Got a message, notifying about a Sale going on at IPC (Ikano Power Centre) last weekend (Sept 30-Oct 2). Went there with hubby and Hifdzi (by bike), which was more convenient. Grab few shirts for Hifdzi.

Merlin 4 - The Darkest Hour Snapshots

Few snapshots I took from Merlin Season 4 Premier - The Darkest Hour (Part 1). The season opening episode was a brilliant! Few touching scenes - between Arthur and his father, Uther, between Arthur and Gwen, also between Arthur and Merlin. The final scene was the best, when Merlin saved Arthur. It showed loyalty and friendship. Very sad scene... can't wait for the second part this Saturday!

Till then, enjoy....

More Tudung Design

Worked on almost all my veils now.... have few left. Next, maybe I'll work on the kids' old shirts, just to make it look new (^^).

Shopping With Fathi

Went shopping with Fathi one day. Just for an hour or so. Had to get the kids' 'Dugro'. We went to Giant. Didn't bring the rest coz it was just a quick stop. But bringing only one, didn't make it any simpler.... huhuhu...

In front of a pet shop

Took some time to make him leave the shop

Still, it was a quick stop, so yeah, bringing Fathi alone was the right choice (^^).

New Blender

Refreshing home-made fruit juice

Got a new blender. Alhamdulillah and thank you hubby (^^). This one is much better than my old one. It has a bigger glass, with a lid. And the good thing is the lid has a spout. Makes it portable, indoor or even outdoor. How many blender can do that?

Ready to blend

Done! Apple juice... yummy...

Since I got this new blender, I can't stop using it... hehehe...

One day, I'll read this again, and I shall be proud for having such a lovely kids... and for raising them on my own, no maid, no nanny or whatsoever.... just like my mama... Alhamdulillah....

Coconut Jelly

Normally, time balik kampung jer boleh makan jeli kelapa ni coz kat sana ada jual kat tepi2 jalan. Kat sini cam takder orang jual sangat. Tapi tak tahulah kot2 kat area2 lain ada. Sekali makan takleh stop, sedap sangat2. Lagi2 kalau baru keluarkan dari fridge. Menyelerakan (^^)....

Yum... yum... soo refreshing...

Cam tak cukup jer...

Tudung... Again...

Mine

... and mine...

Jamuan Raya @ MNRB - Hubby

These are for hubby to bring to his office today. Notice the chips? I had to use the strawberry chips instead of the usual chocolate chips. Ran out of chocolate chips after finished baking Aisyah's muffins.

Choc muffin... had to use strawberry chips instead of chocolate chips coz I've ran out of it...

Hope they all enjoy the strawberry-chocolate muffin (^^).

Jamuan Raya @ KAFA

Choc Muffin with chocolate chips

This morning Aisyah's school had a 'Jamuan Raya'. Yesterday she told me that her teacher told her to bring something. So, I made some chocolate muffin for her, and for my hubby too coz his company is also having 'Jamuan Raya' today. Syukur I have all the necessary ingredients in my kitchen. Hope they enjoy the muffin (^^).

On The Road Again

Want to have this memory treasured in my mind... but we all know the fact that our brain will get rusty... huhuhu.... just in case it went missing, I think it's best to keep it here....

Got my license when I was in High School. Got all the answers right, along with my sister, Deena in the exam. That time we had to answer 50 Qs I think. We both scored 50/50 (felt proud.... hehehe). Also scored during the test drive (parking and up-the-hill drive). But unfortunately, didn't pass the test drive on the road coz I got to drive in the 'Kampung' area. Was nervous 'bout the cows and bikers along the way. Couldn't concentrate with the driving... huhuhu...

So, I had to take another test. Syukur I got to drive on the main road this time. It was smooth and easy (^^). Got my license then. Yeay! hehehe...

Painting Project

Since we were gonna have an Open House last few weeks, we did some painting coz our house was 'decorated' by the kids.... they are soo 'artistic' (^^)

First day, we painted in the evening.... the kids weren't asleep, except Hifdzi... but when he woke up.... boy! he ate the paint!! so, we decided to wait till they all fell asleep.

Hifdzi, paint on the shirt

... his leg too...

The 2nd day (which was the night before our Open House), the kids were asleep, except Amal - she purposedly stay awake to help with the painting. We started at 12 midnight and ended at 3 in the morning. Amal? Still have the energy to continue, if we were to continue....

Tudung

Aisyah's

Amal's

Anis's

The kids' tudung were quite 'dull' (to me)... so I thought of a way to make it 'alive'. Last month I bought Aisyah a tudung with beautiful flower embroidery. I thought, maybe I can make up something like that. So, off to Memori Hati (sewing store), grab few accessories (acrylic stone) and few other things.

Started my sewing project as soon as I got home. The kids were so excited. They couldn't wait to put them on (^^).


* A good way to encourage your little ones to wear tudung rite? Try it!
