Partay Prep makes ibu goes crazy..

Diam x diam Arissa dah 11 month-old.. in less than 1 month my lil Arissa will turn 1.. wah so cepat.. I can still feel her 1st kicked when she was in my womb, the day I hold her for the 1st time.. the day when she made everyone woke up with panda eyes sbb she got colic.. the 1st day when she throw out her 1st solid food.. and now.. she's a happy one year old baby to be! how time flies.. I am so gonna miss my BABY ARISSA.. kadang2 bole x geram nk ckp kat arissa.. can you please slow down a lil bit baby.. u are growing so fast! setiap hari ade je benda baru yg arissa buat and trust me! sume benda yang arissa buat tu sume nyeeee cute.. even mase dy cry2 pun ibu geram rse nak geget!

Okay laa.. now let us talk about Arissa's 1st birthday party preparation. Yes I am the most excited mummy when it comes to Arissa's birthday preparation.. mcm2 dlm wish list and I hope I can cope well with all the prep.. Oklaa let's see what's inside ibu's mind map.. 

THE VENUE

1. Umai Cafe, lake side Putrajaya - Nice place.. but quite far from our home, most of the family members are not familiar with Putrajaya and the chances for them to get lost is high & maybe it is too hot for Arissa..
2. McDonalds - but we are boikoting MCD
3. Nenek's house - Arissa's fav place - I think Arissa's felt save & comfy here.. easier for Arissa and the family members.. but the house is quite small and tents are essential to accomodate all the guest..

So I choose No.3 for nenek's house..

THE MENU

1. Laksa Johor
2. Roti jala
3. Kuih muih 
4. Nasi goreng hailam Nenek Om Style - all time fav!

THE CANDY BUFFET 

Haa yang ni ibu punya wish list laa ni ( even papa x bape agree sgt).. so cute laa ade candy buffet.. sape x caye cube tgh ni..

Cute kan? hehe.. so ibu dah order dah dengan merisik gallery.. I hope it turns out nice!

THEME COLOR

pretty PINK & WHITE!

THE BIRTHDAY CAKE -

1. Ice cream cake from Baskin Robins
2. Cupcakes from wondermilk
3. Custom made cake from GDM or Merisik Gallery

So hard to decide on this one..

THE GUEST

1. Family members, 
2. Ibu's friends
3. Papa's friends
4. Neighbours

THE PARTY PACKS

Merisik Gallery

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL DRESS

Simple2 jelaa.. xmo laaa princess like gown.. nant dy sure x selesa & akan spoil her mood.. so ibu rse yang simple2 je utk arissa..

PETTY CASH

Ibu & papa to provide - SERAM!

Secara keseluruhannya mmg birthday party prep utk arissa ni buat ibu goes crazy! Haih mcm nk sambut menantu pun ade.. HAHAHAHA.. ke ibu arissa yang over kan?? hehe.. oklaa doakan yang terbaik k.. hope everything turns out great & everyone will have fun.. AMIN..

hehe..

It's Us

My life wouldn't be so great & exciting without this Man! He's my perfect match! Thank you Allah..

Standing still.. until Jannah.. InsyaAllah

Happy bday papa! Arissa & Ibu love you so very very much!

Arissa's papa turned 27 last weekend..

I planned to throw him a surprise party (Only me him & arissa- TGIF - birthday songs.. etc) but he's too smart to be fooled.. It took me 1001 excuses to escape.. Yeah I wasn't a good party planner anyway.. But things turned out different so I planned to get the car & get him sumthing.. But what sumthing is "sumthing"? Mummy Headache! So I managed to get the car & I know he smells somthing fishy.. Lagi laaa headache.. Apelaa nak bg dy ni.. 

Long lunch Friday.. I pun dah semangat nk get him an ice cream cake from baskin robins dekat AEON AU2.. so that I can balik rumah & dy x tau ape surprise.. But it wasn't turned out as planned.. time2 tu laaa I hilang kad parking, tinggal hp.. last2 I kuar kol 1240.. Uwaaa.. so I went straight to MEX highway.. planning to hit KLCC.. another de tour I bole salah masuk susur dah pg ke bangsar.. Ok that means Mid Valley was my last option... & guess what?? parking FULL & the traffic was really bad! Panic mummy xtau nk wat ape dah.. papa dah tau niat fishy mummy.. so camne? terpkse laa menyelit g KLCC gak.. So I smpi KLCC kul 130.. that means I only have 30 minutes to buy papa his bday gift.. Dah laa xde idea.. Last 2 I ternampak GODIVA chocolate. Perfect! I beli loose.. all dark chocolate with variety fillings. He's fav! Hoping he'll love it! then rse mcm x cukup. Nak belikan papa Banana Republic shirts! (he loves BR shirts).. but smpi depan BR bole plak tutup! haih malangnye nasib ku.. trus bergegas ke Esprit & grab 2 T-Shirts.. Oklaa I am good to go.. trus bergegas balik opis..

Malam tu we had dinner dekat Ayuthaya.. Delicious food.. & gift bg dekat papa.. Alhamdulillah dy suke.. semangat mcm Chef Ramsey (Masterchef) dok analysed rasa setiap chocolate yang dy makan.. He seems to enjoyed it! HAPPY!! Oklaa here's some pic.. tak dapat tangkap banyak sgt sbb Arissa bad mood..

papa with princess

The food was delicious!

Pic bday gift pun xsempat nak amik.. BTW Happy birthday papa.. Only Allah knows how much we love you.. Thanks for being a super duper hubby & loving papa all this while..

9 bulan vs demam campak

Semalam (16 Oct) genap umur Arissa 9 bulan.. Sykur Allahdulillah.. tapi sian arissa tgh happy dh masuk 9 bulan.. semalam balik umah nak anta susu dy.. nampak ade ruam2 kat all over her face & body.. Kebetulan.. ade jiran dtg bawak kawan arissa, izz main2.. dy yang perasan.. arissa kene demam campak.. patut laaa demam arissa x kebah dari ari sabtu aritu.. Sian anak ibu..

Quick update je ni.. Sebab sangat2 laa xde mood sekarang ni.. Harap anak ibu ni cepat sembuh ye.. Love ya..

The arrival of Arissa's first tooth

Semlm mase papa bagi arissa minum after her dinner meal.. arissa dah xnak minum guna sudu dy nak minum terus dari cawan.. tgh minum2 papa dengar mcm bunyi gigi arissa.. then papa check.. yes!!!! arissa dah tumbuh gigi.. alhamdulillah... nasib gigi bawah dlu yang tumbuh.. (mak punye superstitious.. elok tumbuk gigi bawah dlu nant arissa x tinggi diri/sombong).. haha mcm2 mak aku ni.. Yeah.. I am a happy mummy...

Cuti-cuti Malaysia..

Last weekend, we went to Hotspring Sungai Klah, Trolak.. Vacay ke-2 utk arissa.. Oklaaa.. not too bad.. x banyak sgt amik pic sebab yaya takut ngan air.. last2 x masuk pool pun.. & yang wat mummy xde mood... xsempat nak belikan swimming suit utk yaya.. so xdelaa sgt aktiviti dalam air.. xpelaa nant plan nak datang cni balik.. so mummy akan prepare betul2 ye yaya.. hehe..

A decade of happiness

We are not a couple of many words because too many words make cliche'... but here we are.. still standing.. and now with Arissa around.. everything is possible in this world.. I am happy.. I love you papa.. hugs & kisses!

More of Arissa's picture of the week

She's the angel of our family..

Psst: Papa said, I should involved him more in my next post.. Kalau x dy boring sbb blog ni asik berangan2 arissa & ibu je.. Okaylaa papa.. noted with kisses.. hehe..

she looks tall isn't she?

Car Seat chaotic!!

Semalam 1st time bawak arissa pg amik papa.. Sebab nenek xsehat xle nak tgk2kan arissa. So I nekad laa bawak dy.. and of course the car seat is the most essential safety equipment to be used while driving with your baby. I was praying for Arissa to be rosy to me and the drive to UKM went smoothly. She looked very convincing! hahah.. I organised all Arissa's fav toys beside me.. all within my reach.. I started calculating. The journey to UKM should take us roughly about 45 minutes (if the traffic is ok). So toys ade 5 (I hope each can last for about 10 minutes).. if the calculation is correct that means I still have an extra 5 minutes. Ok I am save .. finger cross! So the journey begins! ok Arissa smiled at me.. rolling her eyes.. I know she started to feel a lil bit uncomfortable and started to whine.. adoy... susah hati. I bagi Kak pah.. arissa's fav giraffe.. and guess what kak pah last for only 3 minutes! one toy down.. 4 to go.. xpelaa even calculation mummy lari sket.. tapi Ya Allah.. Arissa menjerit.. sekuat hati ok! I am dead! PANIC MUMMY!! abis sume toys dy reject.. last2 purse mummy last about 15 minutes.. & the rest 15.. terpaksa laa I nyanyi.. imagine kene nyanyi smbil kene wat gesture sambil drive.. Uwaaaaa..... kuar laa lagu mcm2.. "timmy oh timmy", disney birthday song sume laa kuar.. Ade laa diam kejap.. yang lain dy nangis smpi kuar air mata... Uwaaaa susah hati last2 dah smpi bangi I berenti kat petronas Section 3.. Amik dy lepas tu breast feed.. 15 minutes after.. hasil doa ibu.. haaaa tgklaaa mcmane Arissa...

she smiles happily after minum susu.. y arissa x bitau ibu.... haih...

Betul laa.. Susu ibu adalah susu terbaik untuk anak kite ye kawan2.. Sekian.. hehe

Owhh.. aku tak biasa...

Dah 2 3 hari ni my hubby demam.. sian dy.. merah2 idung dek selsema.. berjangkit ngan dotter tersayang laa tu.. 2 hari hubby cuti.. semalam sudey sbb terpakse drive keje sorang2.. owhh aku x biasa.... sebab ari2 pg balik keje hubby dtg jemput.. breakfast kat FLEET same2.. ni jelaa quality time yang ade nak manja2 ngan hubby.. pgi tadi ckp kat dy rindu.. tapi hubby ku seperti biasa xde perasaan.. ckp "laa ni ade ni depan mate rindu lagi ke".. Geram.. tapi xpelaa.. SAYA TETAP RINDU DY.. hehe... --> today mood jiwang2.. hehe

Rumah Idamanku - Part 2

So nak cite macamane me & hubby decided to book the house.. cite dy camni.. saya ni x penah pun tau kewujudan Pajam ni tapi yang sy tau Pajam ni adalah location tapak pelupusan sampah yang sekarang dalam usaha untuk sampah2 ni di convert kepada RE dan usaha yang di jalankan oleh syarikat bernama Cypark. Tu jelaa..

Nak dijadikan cite, mase otw g keje lepas anta hubby ternampak banner pasal seri pajam.. dy nak jual double storey house dengan price RM 338k.. so berminatla nak tgk trus amik no tepon dy. Then sy pun call laa & tetibe PIC tu cakap Seri Pajam nak launch umah teres 1-storey.. Rege < RM300k.. wow mmg kene tgk sbb tu mmg budget hubby.. So kami pun decide laa untuk tgk..

Bile je sampai Seri Pajam sales assistant dy trus assist kami.. yang best nye kami di bawa tgk umah contoh.. naik kete pajam.. bagus gak laa SA dy.. tgk laa umah dy... wow!!!! hati terus terpaut.. cantiknyeeee... mmg hassle free xpayah nak renovate bagai.. design SUPERB.. even cume single storey je.. tapi mmg memenuhi criteria umah idaman saya..

But we went back empty handed.. xbooking pun.. alasan sebab jauh... pastu kitorg pun continue dengan pencarian umah lain... to cut it short.. hati masih terpaut pada Seri Pajam.. Sampailaa satu hari ajak hubby g usha balik umah tu.. 2nd time tgk mmg xle tahan.. masih lagi mintak hubby bagi mase 2 hari utk pk.. macam2 sy consider...

Sebeb nak sgt umah tu:

• Rumah yang sangat cantik.. package.. xpayah nak pening2 nak renovate
• Rumah siap end of 2013.. start bayar thn 2014 camtu.. so masih ade masa nk kumpul duit..
• Rumah dy gated & guarded.. mane nak dapat skrg kan? kalu ade pun rege haih... xmasuk akal..
• Kawasan yang baru nak naik & dekat gile ngan exit hway LEKAS
• Kemasan yang lawa expecially lantai dy 2x2 inch... fuhh mmg terbaik..
• Mak approved!
• Dekat sket nk ke tempat keje berbanding ngan lokasi umah sekarang.. cume jauh ngan KL je.. 
• Kawasan umah yang agak elit.. tenang je..

VS sebab xnak lak:

• Jauh nau... 
• Arissa nak sekolah kat mane?
• Alaman N9.. dah laa mmg anti N9
• Takut org kutuk umah kat jin bertendang
• Rumah agak mahal
• Ramai org ckp kawasan ni berbau sket (tapi kalu ikut Cypark x lama lagi nak tutup & sampah2 tu nak di convert ke RE.. so kawasan ni akan dicahayakan dengan lampu hasil dr resource yang green.. I love green.. sesuailaa utk sy yang keje kat SEDA Malaysia kan????
• Takut terjumpa family belah arwah ayah.. don't ask me why.. 

So after so much deliberation.. finally sy rse "sebab nak sgt umah tu" yang menang.. then ari Isnin 17 Sept 2012.. kami pun booking... yeah.. now nak settle hal2 beli plak.. Doa-doakan ye..

Sejak mem'booking' rumah kat Seri Pajam ni.. setiap pagi masuk keje perkara wajib mesti nk tgk FB page Seri Pajam Home (Official)... bukan pe... nak tgk umah nak berangan2.. suke sgt ngan umah ni. walaupun lokasi nyee nun jauh di sana.. bak kate org tua2 tempat "jin bertendang".. tapi ntah laa bile pg je kat kawasan ni rasa aman je.. mmg laa terasa inilah rumah idamanku.. hehe.. kalau x caya meh cuci mate tgk..

Saya booking umah teres 1-storey di Aria Park, Citra Hill Pajam.. Keluasan umah 22x70..

Happy Birthday Nenek

My baby girl

After 35 weeks of being pregnant, finally I gave birth to a baby girl on January 16th 2012. She is beautiful and adorable. We decided to name her Arissa Damia. Holding her for the first time in my arms is something that no one can describe. The feeling was surreal. It was like love at the 1st sight. I instantly feel connected to her. And as far as I can tell, I love this little girl so very much.


From that moment on, I knew my life would never be the same and I was right. I have changed a lot. Only now I know being a new mom is tough. You've probably heard that all new-born baby does is only eat, poop, cry, and sleep. Sounds simple, right? But it was not. Trust me. It was a little overwhelming at first but as time goes by, you’ll get used to it.


Arissa Damia is a very active & healthy baby. She loves to play with her daddy. She will laugh at my husband’s funny expressions. She will raise her arms whenever she wants him to pick her up. She will scream to get everybody’s attention. She can be funny sometime and her super-soft skin makes hugging and touching all those chubby body parts so much more pleasant.


Every moment I spend with her is so precious. I am so happy to see her grows healthily. She is 5 month old now. And I am so happy to hear everyone says she looks very much like me. Some of my friends even call her “honey junior”. I feel great! I am so excited to see her grows up & we can be best friends!


I love my baby girl so much. There isn’t one thing in this world I will not do for her. I will kiss her every day and wipe her tears whenever she cries. I will help her get dressed, teach her to do chores, and feed her healthy foods. I will protect her and fight for her and give up my life for her. That is what mom’s do right.


She means the world to me & my husband. She is our strength and we love her unconditionally. I hope she will turns up to be an awesome person when she grows up. 

 

Mummy's bestfriend

Daddy's sweetheart

Jazzy Jazz on mother's day

Ape kaitan honda jazz dengan mother's day? hehe.. after 3 months proposal akhirnya hubby bersetuju utk tukar si en.City (yang sudah agak berusia).. 

Tertarik dengan phrase ni:

"Who says you can't be green & gorgeous?"
"Who says only superheroes can save the planet"

All new Jazz hybrid.. jadi pilihan.. and the decision was made on mother's day.. itulah kaitan nye.. and kebetulan tahun ni adalah tahun pertama saya sambut mother's day sebagai seorang ibu..

Now Govt. of Malaysia give good incentives to hybrid car.. that's why it becomes more affordable.. Satu lagi usaha kerajaan untuk mengatasi masalah global warming.. mmg best laa kan..
So why wait.. let's go green and save the world.. ;)
