17th August 2011 is the date Dania Adelia is born.... It was on the Nuzul Quran day..just 2 days b4 the EDD (19/8/11)..luckily everyone was on public holiday, if mama was to be in labor while mama was at school, we had drafted out the so-called contigency plan if that ever happened...but i guess Adelia has chosen the right time to see the world... The night before, was like any other day, we bukak puasa like the day before, mama didn't even have any contractions during the night...even on the next day, time sahur, it was like usual, but durimg this time, mama had some bleeding but without the pain, so mama was still in control, but at about 8 to 9 am, mama had some pain in the stomach, (actually mama kinda forgot how the contraction was during mama had aryana), since this time the pain was a bit confusing, plus mama was kinda felt extra tired n sleepy at that time, so mama sempat jugak had a nap, but at about 10 am, the pain was more frequent, at that time, mama told papa, but it was likely taken since mama pun mcm relax je...papa sempat lagi kemas rumah at that time (bkn kemas sikit2, it was like major kemas, with the playpen baru nak pasang, tambah dah nak raya)... ...but...towards noon tu...the pain or should mama says, the contraction was like 15mins...and since the hospital is far, in ipoh, so mama told papa thA we need to go to the hospital, so...there goes the whole gang to the hospital... during the time to the hospital, the contractions dah about 5mins...aiyyooooo..mama dah tak senang duduk..dah laaa to reach the during noon time, the traffic was quite heavy..rasa lambat sangat nak sampai....but alhamdulillah, we managed to be there safely...since it was public holiday, we went straight to the a&e...and mama was sent to the labor room to have a check on the opening...at that time, the opening was already 2cm...so the nurse there said, admitted je laa ye...at that time dah about 1pm ++...so, tunggu laaa Dr. Anjalai to come...check punya check, so the doctor said, maybe about 6pm or so laaa nak bersalin ni...tunggu punya tunggu, skali tengok air ketuban pun dah pecah, and not long after that about 3 something dah nak bersalin dah... oohhh befire that...the girls, arissa n aryana sempat jugak masuk japs in the labor room, as mama remember both the girls looked worried especially arissa biler dia tengok mama terbaring kesakitan kat atas katil tu, yes, arissa being the eldest, always worry about other people... back to the story, so at about 3:20pm, Adelia pun keluar laaa..this time with adelia, mama must say, it was a very easy labor, despite the pain n what not laaa...walaupun duduk kat labor room tu sorang2, and in labor pun sorg2, sakit pun tanggung sorg2...since papa had to stay with the girls kat waiting room...so whatever happened on papa's side, you girls have to ask papa laaa ye...so, mama dah cerita mama nye part... so..adelia was born at 3.05kg, length - 51cm, normal labor... picture will be added later, ok...

training.....training.....training

we couldn't remember when arissa started using a cup for her milk...

but as far as for Aryana...we are starting to train her using a cup for her milk...

so far..it's building her confident to use the cup for her milk...and now, the kakak also been talking me into having a cup just like Aryana...where else..kakak already has her own cups...she just couldn't resist when Aryana has something new, she somehow must also get one..( I guess, that's one of the challenges of having daughters which are just few years difference..the sibling rivalry is quite obvious..and I'm also not surprise when we get quite a lot of remarks 'eh! ni twin ke?'...when people look at arissa n Aryana...yes, in terms of sizes and features, skali pandang, they may look like twins..)

Among other thing, now that Aryana is almost 3yo..we are still training her in the diapers' department..so far she's been doing good..but the tricky part is during the sleep time...so far, we r proud of her..not so much accidents...but still, during her time at the taska...the kakak there, ada jugak pakaikan her diapers...but we have now stopped buying any diapers for Aryana...whatever that are left now is the last batch...once dah habis that batch, no more stock will be provided for Aryana during her time at the taska...so pandai2 laaa kakak2 taska nye... :)

Dania No. 3

Semalam appointment dengan Dr Anjalai untuk routine check up Mama. Kalau ikutkan dah 32 weeks. Kita dah biasa dengan Dr Anjalai ni. In fact, ramai orang pergi kat Dr Anjalai.


Di Hospital Pantai Puteri ada dua pakar O & G dan klinik mereka ni boleh lah dikatakan sebelah menyebelah. Nak tau bagus ker tak bagus Dr Anjalai ni, tengok kat jumlah patient yang tunggu depan klinik Dr Anjalai dan bandingkan dengan patient yang tunggu depan  klinik Dr lagi satu. Memang jauh beza. Apa yang menyebabkan ramai orang pergi kat Dr Anjalai ni? Nak kata knowledge rasanya semua Dr sama jer yang bezanya antara experience atau pun tidak. Mungkin sebab Dr Anjalai ni wanita, so dia lagi senang women...maybe. Tapi, personally bagi kami, adalah the level of calmness yang ada pada Dr Anjalai. You akan masuk klinik dia jam 12:00 tengahari hari Sabtu ataupun 5:00 petang weekdays, dia akan treat you sama as if you are the first patient of the day. The thing about Dr O & G ni, operations, labour and others are just part of the daily working life. Dia boleh entertain patient kat klinik and then the next you know, kena pergi Operation theater japs, nak operate patient. And then they can come back and resume their job as if nothing happens. Again, it is part of their job. We, mere mortals, akan rasa impress, at least we are.

We refer to the soon-to-be-born baby as Dania No.3. For one, Dr Anjalai dah mention it is girl despite Arissa is hoping for a boy. Unless, it is a miracle. So, kita refer the baby Dania No. 3. Okaylah, Mama nak namakan dia Dania Adelia. But in front the girls, we labeled her as Dania No.3 or Adik No. 2. Aryana, we are still hoping that she accepts her role as the 'Kak Cik' for Dania No.3. You have no choice, Kak Cik. Oopppss...sorry Kak Cik. Nak jugak panggil Yana yer. Sorry Kak Cik.

We are thinking about how Dania No.3 tak de gambar ataupun scan dari Dr yang kita simpan. So, now, kita nak scan dan simpan anything related to Dania No. 3. Arissa, being the eldest, banyak gambar. Aryana, being the second, gambar ada tapi tak print. Dania No.3 langsung tak der lagi. Well, we are going start somewhere. Firstly, scan gambar baby dalam perut. There are a few of them. Yang di bawah ni was taken on the 18 of June 2011. Ada lagi latest. Belum scan lagi.

Rio - The Girls First Time at the Cinema


Pada 30 April yang lalu kami bawak the girls pergi tengok wayang. Ini first time kami bawa Arissa dan Aryana pergi tengok wayang. Overall, ia tidaklah seteruk yang saya sangkakan. Aryana dalam keadaan batuk dan sedikit asmatic nampak concentrate juga. Adalah part part dalam cerita yang dia tergelak kecil. Arissa sibuk dengan pop corn nya. Dia kata pernah tengok kat TV orang makan pop corn sambil tengok movie. Itu yang dia nak ikut tu...Cute. Anyhow, concentration Arissa dah mula hilang. Tengah tengah cerita dah sibuk tanya pasal barang dia. Seperti kat rumah, diorang banyak tanya dalam wayang tu. Biasalahkan budak budak. Kita pun cubalah untuk jawap dalam keadaan berbisik supaya tak ganggu orang lain. Dalam duration 1.5 jam, Aryana atau Arissa  (tak ingatlah. Rasanya Aryana) yang mintak pergi toilet.Overall, okay lah tu. Ingatkan akan jadi huru hara. Rio is a good movie. Sesuai sangat untuk kanak kanak. Penonton pun nampak terhibur tengok cerita tu.

iPad and Kids

Zaman sekarang ni zaman IT. Semua orang boleh dikatakan tak boleh hidup dengan technology dan gadget. Semua orang nak jump into the bandwagon. Semua orang itu termasuklah Arissa dan Aryana. Biasanya orang beli barang barang IT ada tujuan. Kalau budak budak dapat computer, apa agak agak tujuan mereka nak guna computer tu?...Main games lah apa lagi. Sekarang ni the girls suka sangat nak main games. Sampai tahap nak gaduh gaduh berebut nak main games. Bukan tau main pun sebenarnya. Graphics and activities buat mereka leka dan berminat untuk cuba.

Arissa's first hand on games was the Clickstart. Best main. Very educational. The problem is mouse selalu hang. To solve this, kena guna the old fashion way. Bukak bateri dan masuk balik kat main console dia. Settle.
Mungkin graphics untuk Clickstart ni agak boring. Kalau cakap pasal graphics best ni, of course the iPad is one of the devices yang provide excellent graphics. Di tambah pulak ada games yang budak budak boleh main, lagi menarik lah. Sekarang ni sibuk nak main games kat iPad. Pinjamlah datuk ataupun pakcik diorang punya iPad. Masalahnya iPad ada satu jer. Kalau ikutkan kenalah share..tapi budak budak and sharing, nampak macam tak kena...mana boleh share yer tak. 


Masalahnya mak dan ayahnya tak der iPad. iPoot adalah. Papa dulu ada HP iPaq. But I guess that does not count. Lagipun Papa dah patah patahkan HP iPaQ tu. But I believe games can enhance student's learning. With the right way and approach, kids can learn quickly. Mungkin mak dan ayahnya kena beli iPad 2 kot. Faster, Thinner and Slicker.

Ice cream sessions @ PETRONAS

Once in a while suka bawak the girls go for ice cream sessions. Mak ayah pun suka makan ice cream. Saintis cakap, makan ice cream ni boleh release stress. Betul ke? That is if you are eating alone. But if you eat with a 5 year old and a 3 year old...now that's a different story. Sila lihat gambar gambar dibawah

Peace!..wrong...can i have two ice creams?

Arissa's favorite is chocolate...roti chocolate speaking, air susu chocolate..she likes any consumable items with chocolate in it.

This picture is even scarier than the ghosts from Khurafat..Sorry Aryana :-))

Been bugging me all night..bila nak gi PETRONAS ni?



Macam dalam cerita Exorcist.

Whatever, kami suka bawak the girls makan ice cream. It makes them happy. We are happy as long as they are happy.
