The reason why our tv is not being switched on for weeks

Yes. Aku rasa nak buang je tv kat rumah tu. Why? 

Aku taknak mention the title of this drama but semua drama melayu sekarang sama jer. Seolah olah penerbit dah ketandusan idea in making a new drama, a new plot with a new actors. Wanita dari kampung datang KL untuk cari kerja bagi menyara keluarga yang hidup susah. End up jumpa anak orang kaya yang kacak lagi pemurah dan baik hati. Or, kena paksa kawin, mula mula benci lepas tu sayang. Or, perebutan dua wanita bagi memenangi hati seorang lelaki yang cukup pakej. See. Aku tak tengok tv pun hafal jalan cerita. Selain itu, dalam real life, kau pernah cakap "mereka yang melarang aku buat macam tu - mereka, kenapa dia berbuat demikian? - berbuat. Hohoho kelakar bukan? 

Selain itu, dalam emergency room, patient sakit tenat je terus dipakaikan face mask and mati dalam keadaan face mask di muka. (Kalau betul betul tenat terus activate code blue then buat CPR lahh). Oh, pasal CPR pulak, katil patient pun lebih tinggi dari pinggang doctor, so doctor buat chest compression dalam keadaan berdiri and tangan like 45 degrees? Seriously? Patutlah patient tak survive. 

End up kami kat rumah asyik bukak channel AFC, Cake Boss, Discovery and NatGeo Wild. 

Huh. 

Why not ya, why not. 

Buatlah cerita berunsurkan bibliography ke. Contoh : Kisah kehidupan Tun M. 

Or. 

Bagaimana kilang proton saga buat kereta tersebut. 

Or. 

Bagaimana proses pembuatan roti Gardenia. 

Or. 

Kalau takde idea sangat, post je kat official fb open for topic suggestion. Free je tanpa saguhati or reward pun confirm within 5 minutes dah dapat response. Netizen kan ramai sekarang? 

Breastfeeding, breastfeed, breastpumping, power pumping

No. Not that easy. Well, yes it is easier when you have to do it only once or twice. But, when imagining that you have to abide all your routines and daily work with all those, you've got to think again. There are numerous things and activities that needs to be sacrificed just for breastfeeding. And of course, you will do it wholeheartedly for your little ones.

Alhamdulillah, Marissa had being breastfed for 13 months now. And insyaallah for many months to come. Every working.breastpumping mom has got their own way of making their journey a successful one. So does mine. Some of the tips that I used to do to ensure my cikibumbum is organically growing by the breastmilk. Huhu ayat tak tahan betoi. 

Yup. Below. 

1. To initiate the let down reflex, stay on the stimulation mode after 20 minutes of expression. And stay a little bit longer. The let down will come just before the 30 minutes of expression ends. 

2. Do not panic when your EBM is in low supply. Stay calm and keep pumping. I have had a few episodes of running out of EBM stocks. So what i did was..

Bagi jer susu kambing Suffy. And keep pumping. And buat power pumping at night. 

It's important not to stressed yourself to ensure that your baby is being given 100% breastmilk. Sekali dua bagi susu kambing is okay. Tak berubah pun DNA cell cell semua. Okeh. 

3. Milk boosters. 

I've been trying numerous milk booster yang banyak in the market now but none seems working for me. So what i did is..back to sunnah. Black seed and dates  does their magical effect on me. Alhamdulillah. 

4. Keep on latching. 

Yup. That is basic. 

5. Manual pumping. 

Sometimes manual pumping is more effective than using the electric breastpump. Sometimes. 

You may find other tips on the net. Banyak and more or less the same. 

Thank you husby for helping me out with this journey. Till then. Xoxo. 

What to do when your baby accidentally swallowed a silica gel?

Yes, that's exactly what had happened to us few days back.

We have got a new play pen for Marissa since I need to stay alone with her after this for quite sometime because Danial is away for a business trip. Play pen is needed because she had started crawling actively sampai nak terjatuh katil (okay yes memang nak dismantle dah katil tu).

While we were busy fixing the new play pen, we saw her playing with the dolls (yang dapat free untuk gantung n pusing tuh). And the next thing we realized the wrapper of the silica gel is already torn and wet sebab dia makan!!!

I managed to take out 1 tiny gel inside her mouth. Tapi berapa banyak yang dah di telan, nobody knows. Terus angkat and bawak ke toilet untuk further korek mulut dia dengan harapan dia akan muntah tapi she started crying sebab tak selesa. I can feel myself shivering kerisauan yang melampau, jari tangan kaki semua dah sejuk ketakutan. Dalam hati doa tak berhenti.

Without further delay, terus ke emergency at the nearest hospital which was KMC (takde yang lain yang lebih dekat dah). Refer paediatrician, Alhamdulillah nothing to worry katanyer.

Silica gel itself is not harmful, but the chemical that doped in to detect moisture tu yang harmful and toxic. The wrapper of the silica gel usually will clearly state "DO NOT EAT. DO NOT SWALLOW." Because the thing doesn't meant to be swallowed. Siapa tak seram kan?

What you should do?
1. Keluarkan as many gel as you can from the mouth.
2. Rinse the mouth (if possible, if baby cooperative).
3. Drink lots of water or milk.
4. Observe for any sign and symptom of abnormalities (diarrhoea, poor appetite etc.)
5. Monitor stool for any gel that is passed out together with the stools.

Disebabkan doctor kat emergency pun not convincing at all, at all ya I repeat at all. So Danial and myself buat read up sendiri while waiting for our turn for consultation. Oh yes, kes emergency pun kena tunggu turn. I can't imagine kalau ada kes choking or shortness of breath mungkin kene queue up juga.

But among all the above, lesson to be learnt by us is that pay attention to her with what she is paying her attention to. Marissa slept the minute we drove back to our home. Tidur peluk tak lepas risau menyesal sedih kesian semua ada. *tariknapashembuspelanpelan*

Syukur

Syukur we are still living today, breathing freely and effortlessly. The one thing that we always forget. Have you ever imagine if we woke up today without one hand? Okay maybe one hand is too much. Mungkin, 1 finger. How do you feel?

Kenapa dengan jari aku?

Macam mana nak bagi jari ok balik?

Terus google wikihow eh..jari disable, macam mana nak type kat keyboard.

Tiba tiba lapar. Macam mana nak makan?

Macam mana nak cuci number 1 and number 2? If you know what i mean.

Isk..tak bestnyer nak pegang steering.

Macam mana nak pegang nozzle untuk isi minyak kereta. Bayar tol? Ok ada smartag, tapi kalau kena pakai tunai?

Ala..malu la orang boleh nampak my disabilities. Malu nanti orang tanya.

Okay boleh nampak tak betapa satu nikmat ditarik tapi bakal cause semua diatas or even worse than that? Okay baru satu nikmat.

Seringkali kita terlupa untuk berterima kasih dan panjatkan rasa syukur pada yang maha Esa. Tetapi acapkali Pencipta tidak lupakan kita untuk terus memberi kenikmatan tanpa kita sedar.

Syukur kita dilahirkan sebagai manusia yang sempurna kejadian, yang waras akal fikiran. Kalau kita dijadikan sebagai katak puru? Kalau kita dijadikan sebagai nyamuk yang nyawa boleh di'spray' sahaja?

Acer kalau kita jadi siput yang tengah pregnant mati dipijak?

Common Courtesy

Surau. Prayer room. Musolla. Masjid. Brings to all the same meaning.

Yes, since becoming a breastfeeding mommy ni I spend a longer time in surau for breastpumping session. And it usually during prayer times or more or less towards the prayer times. Bila orang mula masuk surau, bila kita duduk bersahaja, mula la nampak macam macam kerenah orang di dalam surau. Orang yang nak solat, nak touch up make up, nak berehat rehat or baring etc. Selama ni tak nampak because we are one of those.

 

1. Orang yang nak solat
Baiklah. Anda mahu solat. Oleh itu, bentang sejadah tu kalau boleh biarlah serapat yang boleh dengan makmum di sebelah supaya bila tiba tiba orang ramai masuk, there is still a space for them to slot in there. Kalau tak muat, dorang dah kena duduk/diri or tunggu kat tepi tepi surau and usually akan menggangu pulak orang yang nak masuk keluar surau or nak masuk keluar dari tempat berwudhu. Kan bersangkut paut masalah tu. Kalau kes surau kosong lengang takpe tak jadi masalah.

 

2. Orang yang nak touch up make up and betulkan tudung.
Selalunya tak jadi masalah sebab perempuan kan suka bersolek depan cermin so of course tak ganggu orang yang nak solat provided tempat cermin tu berpatutanlah. Takkan ajk surau letak cermin kat tempat sujud pulak. So tak jadi masalah di situ. Yang menjadi masalah apabila cermin tu dikongsi beramai ramai. Iye I tau u nak pakai tudung, I nak pakai tudung jugak so boleh tak kita share? Eh..tudung I besar and panjang lilitan dia kena ada space yang besar. Eh..I nak dekat dengan bookshelves tu sebab pin I dekat situ. Apa lah salahnya kalau masing masing ambik portion cermin tu sikit sikit so takdela sorang ni duduk tengah tengah langsung taknak gerak selagi tudung tak cun walaupun ada orang lain kiri kanan. Yang duduk kat tepi tu biasanya cara dia berselang seli dengan orang sebelah supaya ok kau depan sikit aku belakang sikit so fair and square.

 

3. Orang yang berehat or berbaring
Tak best la kalau perempuan tak cakap kan. Takkan sepanjang berehat tu tak cakap langsung. Ok well u can talk whatever u like but please can u slow down your volume a bit since orang lain tengah bersolat and they might heard you and ganggu kosentrasi and bacaan mereka? Or even worse, sampai ganggu kiraan rakaat -- aku la tuh. Please ya.

 

4. Orang yang berniaga or promo barang bisnes
Boleh tak jangan ambik space besar sangat sampai orang lain tak cukup tempat untuk solat?

Would it be nice to have the attitude of respecting each other and put other people first instead of be so self centered?

Okay now..breath in, breath out, oh milk milk please come out.

Back on the blog!

It has been almost 3 years since I last posted my entry. The intention to write in this blog is just for fun and i thought that there is nobody who are going to read and follow my blog. But out of sudden datanglah this one man yang tiba tiba tanya kenapa lama tak update blog. Terus deactivate account sebab banyak personal story yang tak perlu di share pun dalam blog ni. Sembang punya sembang, punya sembang punya sembang pastu entah macam mana dah kawin pun dengan mamat ni. Yes, he is my husband now. And I am lying next to our beloved 6 months old baby girl yang terbaring kekenyangan lepas trial test makan puree food today. Hana Marissa, hmm cepatnya bayi ini membesar. So now since the technology has evolved soo much that I can even update my entry on my mobile using Blogger apps, so oklah senang nak capture gambar and write up. That's all for now.   

Marissa 5 months

Yes yes u know where does my fat goes to.
