Adelia is ready...

in about 2 weeks time..adelia will be ready for her first solid food...at the moment...in mama's mind is "what will be her 1st ever solid food?".."is it going to be apples? or avocados? or as simple as bananas?"..and what is stronger in mama's mind is "maybe it will be some juicy red apples or avocados will be nice too"...hmmm...

whatever it is..even now..adelia dah start kecap2 mulut bila tengok orang makan..and even bila mama terpaksa dukung her while cooking..mulut dah kecap2 jugak..aiyooo..silap2 ada yang mama suap awal..don't need to wait that 2 weeks laaa...even so..the other day..mama dah kasik adelia rasa nectarin sket..alaaaa..tak luak mana pun..even this morning pun..dah kasik adelia rasa oat yg mama selalu makan tu sket..but takder laaaa sampai one whole spoonful...just nak kasik dia rasa je..because kesian tengok muka dia beriya2 tengok orang makan...

even now...mama yang terlebih excited..dah siap with all the gadgets..

:: Adelia's food gadgets ::

this time around mama will try her best to give just her "air tangan" for Adelia..mama tau..masa time kakak Arissa & kak Aryana..mama banyak guna express je..semua ready-made food..sian kat those two girls..since now..mama is a bit more rajin to masuk dapur..(actually..macam memaksakan diri untuk rajin)...so..hope this year punya mission will go smoothly and with success..yay! to mama..(have to give myself a lil' bit of encouragement... ;)

- December 2011 -

the month of December 2011 was a busy month for our family..yup..we traveled a lot..not to mention..quite a number of visits to the hotel (which..to the girls..it was a bliss..)..starting from mama's cousin's wedding
reception...which was held at JWW Marriot, Putrajaya..(this is one heck of fine hotel..memang enjoy laa the girls to spend like 2 nights here..)...

...then..on the 9th December 2011..we went to Grand Lexis, Port Dickson...this is another nice place to stay..especially to those yg nak pergi honeymoon...this is like the perfect place to stay...memang awesome...they have a swimming pool in the room...so..the girls enjoyed the swimming pool a lot...you can say..that they stayed in the pool like 24hrs...sampai2 je...terus masuk swimming pool..malam masuk lagi..pagi esok nye masuk lagi..but we were really glad that the girls get to enjoy themselves here...as for Adelia..here is like her first experience getting into the pool...mula2 masuk dalam swimming pool..as usual laaa..she terkecut kecut laaa..but later on...she just relaxed...nice...

..the last trip...was the trip to Johor/Singapore...on the 28th December 2011 until 30th December 2011...
this trip was like our big event for the year..since it was our first ever trip 'over the sea' as one family..the
five of us..so..as for mama and papa...it was like our first ever challenge to handle these 3 little girls...and
quite amazing..mama and papa didn't get to turn into mode - *tarik2 rambut*..lucky for us..besides..we know..our girls are very good girls.. :)

- trip to JB/Spore -

28th December 2011
it was a day after Arissa's birthday..we purposely chose another date other than Arissa's birthday..with the
reason, not only..that was the only time that mama and papa get to breathe some air off the work..but also..since everytime Arissa's birthday..we celebrated her birthday outside (meaning, go somewhere..)..so this time around..even though not quite..but we tried not to celebrate her birthday, somehow...extravagantly...because..usually..time Aryana's birthday...Aryana didn't get to celebrate her birthday extravagantly..because..her birthday..somehow always fall on either time puasa or time raya..so..not so suitable to celebrate like Arissa's...but whatever it is..both of the girls get to enjoy herself...

so..on the day..we started the journey as early as we can..it was like 7am++ that we started from Shah Alam..Arissa and Aryana..dengan tak mandi nye..terus je laaaa bawak masuk the car...same goes to Adelia..just mama and papa je laaa kena fresh2... :)

on the way to JB..we had our stop at JPO (Johore Premium Outlet)..somewhere in Kulai...at that time..it was like 11am something...at this time..the JPO was newly opened..so it was a talk of everyone..but in mama's humble opinion..the place i.e the handbags (since mama is so crazy about handbags)..were not so much to the standards..in terms of the designs and also the price was like biasa2 je...mama ended up tak beli aper..but papa did buy some stuffs from nike..but mama must say that things from nike or adidas were quite appealing...we arrived at JB about 2 something..at that time..everyone was tired..so we decided to rest je kat hotel..we stayed at Tune Hotel, JB..near to Danga Bay...and at late evening, at first papa thought of buying straight the bus tickets to USS (Universal Studio Singapore) from the small shop next to the 7-Eleven within the Tune Hotel compound..but we were so tired..that we ended up going down to the shop at about just after 8pm...but unlucky for us..the shop just closed at 8pm...so we had to keep our fingers crossed that tomorrow will be tickets for us to USS...after that we wanted to go to a so-called mall..to have some money changed..so we decided to go to Danga Bay Mall...it was quite a shock for us..that the mall..mcm 'hidup segan, mati tak mau' pulak..it seems ada banyak kedai kat situ, they even have a Metrojaya there..but orang or to say pengunjung...we can almost say..langsung x de kat situ...to add to our unlucky vibes for the day..Adelia pulak dah buat her bisnes..sampai habis kena baju dia..and the best thing was...mama pulak x bawak langsung baju untuk salin..but nasib baik ada extra diapers in the car..so we had to buy a baju for Adelia at the Metrojaya..and nak menambahkan kebengangan nye..punya laaa kat satu floor tu...langsung x de kaunter nak bayar yang bukak..we had to get down to the other floor untuk bayar that one baju..mama dah betul2 menyirap..terus jadik tension..huhu...but whatever it was..we survived the night with having dinner at Singgah Selalu..which in mama's another humble opinion is..'indah khabar dari rasa'..yeah..maybe we had
ordered wrongly..but i think the place is more for geng2 melepak more like it..hmmm...we ended up in the bed at about 11pm..among other thing...we managed to change the money despite the worries that the place might not have any money changers by the look of it... ;)

29th December 2011
as early as 5:30am..mama had to wake everyone up as we needed to catch the 7am bus to USS (as in mind, we still didn't buy the tickets)...so..by 6:30am (as the booth opens at 6:30am..so we had to be the early catchers as possible)..by that time..papa, Arissa and Aryana were the ones who had to queue at the booth to buy for the tickets, as for mama and Adelia were busying ourselves with ourselves and other stuffs..but alhamdulillah..we managed to get the 7am tickets..and the bus was on time...and it was full...we had to get on and off the bus for like 2 times for immigration check-out and check-in..until we arrived at USS at about 8am++...awal2 lagi dah ramai juga orang menunggu kat depan tu..but since we had our tickets already..so we just hang around the place to wait for the open at 10am...by the time 10am..everyone was queueing to get into USS...and the 1st place that we head to was the Transformer ride...and mama and Arissa were the lucky persons to get on the ride..and it was awesome..luckily our waiting time was not that long..but to get inside..you had to go through quite a long line until you reached the ride..but when we got out from the ride...the queue time was like 1hour plus already..then..we just hang around until we reached to the Sci-Fi..and mama, Arissa and Aryana got the chance to naik that one ride yg macam cawan berpusing2 tu..(sorry laa..mama x ingat what's the name)..and after that we went to the Ancient Egypt..at first we wanted to naik this one ride..but Arissa and Aryana seem like sleepy..so mama and papa lured you guys into short naps right on the stroller..while waiting for Arissa and Aryana had their naps, we continued to the Lost World...but then again..we didn't get to get on any rides..but when we reached to the Far Far Away..Arissa and Aryana managed to get on the Magical Potion ride..and the last ride was at the Madagasar...the girls naik yang merry go round tu..by the time..it was like 5pm already...so..memang betul laaa..they said..a one-
day trip to USS is not enough..having the kids like the girls..lagi laaa we need more time...haaa..and we got to solat at the babies changing room outside the USS..at about 7:30pm..we went back to JB..basically..the trip to USS was fun..we are sure we'll visit there again...yay!

30th December 2011

so about 11am we packed ourselves to go back to KL..we used jalan lama...dah sampai melaka baru we masuk balik highway..sampai lambat jugak laaa kat KL..dah nak dekat malam baru sampai Shah Alam..but overall..it was the best family vacation so far..walaupun..it was very very tiring journey..and we had to use extra mental and physical effort for that matter..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

all in all we have ended our 2011 with so much fun and we had our quality time together..mama and papa can see that, especially Arissa and Aryana enjoyed themselves..

we hope that we can do this again next time...yay!

Aryana's First Day of School @ Tadika Dzul Iman

yes! it was on the 3rd of January 2012 that Aryana went to school at Tadika Dzul Iman for the first time...but it was just like an orientation day on that day..it was papa who sent Aryana to school...so..as the peneman..kakak Arissa went to school as well, though..kakak Arissa would only start her school on the 5th of January...from what papa reported (as mama didn't manage to sent both Arissa n Aryana, papa had to send both of you alone)...Aryana did well on the first day..knowing how Aryana is...it's quite amazing that she didn't meragam on her first day..it seems that..she enjoyed her first day at school...and when mama asked her what she did at school after she came back home..she told mama that she nari2..n nyanyi2 at school..(which she did..in fact, papa had her on video)..well..mama n papa are so proud of Aryana, that she managed to go to school without her infamous tantrums...

and it was on the 5th of Januari that was Aryana's official first day at school...

but...on the second day of school..everything changed...yup..Aryana was back to her normal self..she did some dramas in front of her school..right at the gate..she sat on the pasir..and did her usual tantrums...haha..yes..somehow...mama was so impressed on that first 2 days...that mama just didn't believe that mama and papa can be THAT lucky...now that Aryana dah tunjukkan her drama on the 3rd day..we'll see how it goes for the next days...

..the report will continue...

these are some pics of arissa & aryana first day of school 2012...

this pic is taken on the 3rd Jan 2012

we have breakfast first, before we go to school

siap bawak bowl makan dalam kereta

posing in front of the house..bird 'jewel' x tinggal tu..

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.
