Juice & Puree




Nia had her first taste of Prune on Saturday, 29 August 2009 – which was also her first meal apart from susu and plain water. We went to see Dr Musa on Friday to get her first dosage for Pnemococal Vaccine jab. Kebetulan pulak Nia has been having constipation so we asked the doctor if there’s anything that he can give to soften her stool. Since she’s still small, doctor suggested untuk just kasi Prune Juice as well as Prune Puree. So menggagau la pi cari diluted Prune Juice untuk Cik Puan Kecik ni. Alhamdulillah, ade baby prune juice but until today Nia still tak berak lagi – so I’m hoping that her poo-poo is not so hard and dah soft because she has been diligently drinking the juice everytime kasi. Makanya, tak genap la Nia 6 months for her first time feeding. But I have yet to feed her anything else. Tunggu la another 1 week for her 6 mths birthday and we can celebrate by having a meal. For now its purely prune for the stool treatment.

Jumperoo @ Toy'r'Us

Jumperoo


Since Nia is getting bigger & heavier and sangatla active, we are now thinking of getting her either a walker or an activity centre. She's now at the stage yg suka jumping all the time - Ms Jumping Jack! I did some googling and found something that is really fun by Fisher & Price - The Jumperoo!

Jumperoo is actually an activity cum entertainment centre for the baby. It's fixed and movable and promotes development of different skills. The seat is 360° rotatable and there are safety springs attached to fix the seat to the frame. On top of that, there's a play tray that can be fixed for Nia's little fingers to explore. I've read thru reviews for Jumperoo and the only Cons that I can see is the bulkiness of the it. Even after going thru other mothers reviews, most of them are saying that Jumperoo is value for money. The most important thing is, The Jumperoo is safe, develops rota skills for the baby, interactive and of course it has to be FUN for Nia.

Makanya, my mission this weekend is to go and search for Jumperoo at the shopping malls and check it out myself. Since its a bit on the pricey side, sebab itu la nak kena evaluate betol². Suggestion sudah diusulkan kepada Mr Banker yesterday. Harap² dapat la stamp approval. Hehe.

Hunting-mode in action!-

Fahmi Junior in Every Single Way

Nia has proven to be daddy's girl in every single way. Dah la muka sejibik like Abah - ade bibit² kejelesan from Mummy here...egegge

Then....she can burp and ehemmms...mind you, kentut like Abah too......*sigh*....apa nak jadi pada anak daraku ini...isk isk isk....

Tapi, at the same time.....perangai joker tu pon menurun frm Abah....so Nia memang la bole jadi mini-clown ikut Abah pada bile² masa...

Whatever it is...i love the both of them dearly....muwahs muwahs muwah!

Sunday Jams + Civic + Pannaz + Subak

Sunday morning woke up and ajak Fahmi to eat out for lunch. So we decided to go to Pannaz (http://malaysianfoodguide.com/2009/04/08/pannaz-bbq-dishes-damansara-perdana/) since da lama tak makan there. So, after dah mandikan Nia and gave her a bottle, we ventured out. Nak dijadikan kisah, on the way to Damansara Perdana, Civic got knocked from behind by a GenGen dekat intersection The Curve/Surian Tunnel. Knowing suamiku, dia pon keluar dari kereta almost nak hangin tapi tak jadi, cos looking from his side of the car takde pape. So relax la. Pusing datang on the pasenger side, Oppps! bumper sudah jatuh from the bracket. Terus la tak senang duduk. Nak pulak the guy who bang the car kept on saying, ala....nothing much la...only some scratches...Wrong wrong wrong thing to say to someone who loves his car so much...So melangguk la kami di tepi jalan membuatkan traffic jam semakin sesak for those yg nak pergi The Curve..after pong-pang² for 30 mins, the guy agreed to pay us RM300 ringgit as compensation so tak payah ler nak gi buat police report ke ape...Lucky...kalo tak da panjang cerita laie....



So, sambung perjalanan ke Pannaz...sampai at Damansara Perdana, the restaurant is closed!!!! aiyoo...apa ini...closed on a Sunday....haihh....so change of plan, we went to Subak (http://www.subak.com.my/) instead....another place that i've been wanting to try out for quite sometime...jalan dia not sure sure at first, tapi redah je la since its only in Penchala, how sesat can you go in Penchala...pusing² kat Bukit Lanjan, we saw the restaurant signage...Yay!! terus park and walk up the hill..

Overall, superbly cozy layout - although I must say, at night gerenti banyak nyamuk - and true enough I can see mosquito coils being laid out around the area...The restaurant has a Balinese touch and you can actually feel the sense of tranquility dengan bunyi hutan and all....We ordered and within 10mins the food came - good service!

We ordered:


Subak's Fettucine Carbonara (RM36)






Subak's Balinese Fried Rice with Grilled Chicken Skewer (RM25)





Rainbow Slurpee (RM12)






Subak's Smoozers Creamy Vanilla combined with Green Apple Syrup (RM13)




Overall, the food is quite good & tasty. But I would suggest a wider range of selection for people like me. The price boleh la tahan mahalnye and the food portion pon biasa je - takde la boleh makan 2 orang...I might come again to try out the steak or ribs....but not anytime soon...

Wishing for the Impossible

Uishhhh.......my superbly long overdue post..............lately so many things have been going on....with the single framework coming along soon, and rumah pon dah naik tinggi dah......banyak laa plak expenses to be incurred.....on top of that, the H1N1 ni, is really scary.....last night pon Nia had a mild tempreture....mula-mula it was just 37.2...then naik 37.4.....then naik lagi....jadi 37.6.....prevention is always better than cure, before demam jadi betol², terus feed her with Uphamol for Babies yang Dr Musa prescribed dulu....Alhamdulillah, by the time nak tido semalam, she's back to normal...a healthy 36.1...phewwww! Lega mummy....

Anyways, thinking of our future expenses.....there are so many things that I can wish for.....if only I have my own fairy good mother, or genie pon boleh la....baru la best....gerenti sume pon dia akan cakap "Your wish is my command, *katching!*"

I wish:

1. My MYR64k (tak campo interest) study loan will somehow be settled without me having to pay for it every month - oh! this should include my 2 car loans as well & the house loan *b.l.i.s.s*
2. I win a money lottery and get MYR1 million and no tax to be paid
3. Everyone will get equal & significant health/medical benefit coverage as a citizen of Malaysia
4. H1N1 will go away soon
5. Our future house is designed by Nate Berkus, fully furnished without any expenses from my end - Oprah, if you're reading this - I heart you.......pls pls pls pick me and furnish my new home!
6. Shell retracts back their decision to go thru the Single Framework exercise - that means no paycut for everyone - status quo
7. I can slot enough time every day after each prayers to recite 5 pages of the Al-Quran, so that boleh khatam every month - and takde la end up baca Yassin je every Friday like now - so pathetic!
8. I can stay at home and be a full-time mummy for Nia and cook superbly delicious meals for Fahmi like all those chefs in AFC channel
9. I can make Mama happy all the time now that we still have her with us

10. I am a superwoman!!!! :-P
