Adila Zulaikha's Aqiqah
Throwback. Adila's Aqiqah was when she was 2 months plus. The theme was colourful pastels and by looking
at the photos courtesy of Azy and Abang Syahril, it has a whimsical
vintage touch to it. The weather was great and the Masjid Taman TAR's
Imam's voice was really pleasant. Adila slept peacefully throughout,
only waking up to taste her first kurma and drink her first sip of
air zam-zam.
Berpantang Bersalin di Perantauan Musim Winter dan Preparation
Dah nak masuk anak ketiga, this time preparation kena buat sendiri. Rasa macam okay sebab kena tau concept je. Yang tak dapat dielakkan tu nak buat macammana kan. Kena prepare menu untuk daddy, mummy and kakak dua orang age 5 and 2.
Homemade frozen chappati
After reading a few blogs and based on previous pantang, summary for me is lauk-lauk yang masak letak banyak halia, lada hitam and bawang putih. Ada baca yang letak byk lengkuas. Ikan and ayam my body boleh terima, ikan pulak kat sini banyak salmon, cod, seabass and trout. Masak pulak bolehla rebus, grill, goreng dengan olive oil or sesame seed oil. Nanti la reka-reka, tak sedap pun tak pe sebab memang kena makan sikit. Sayur pulak yang tau nya cucumber and cabbage tu elakkan. Sekarang tengah winter, memang sejuk pun. So makan la brocolli, carrot, spinach, parsnip and pak choi.
So, challenge untuk berpantang in winter ni kesejukan. Kali ni tak beli set bersalin sebab rasa macam overpriced, banyak benda yang tak perlu dalam set tu. First time pakai sendayu tinggi, pil makan a bit panas so makan selang-selang. Banyak jenis lulur di beri, masa beli dulu tak la mahal sangat. Okay la, first time dulu pakai binder mama buat ala-ala zaman dulu, kain panjang lilit-lilit. Tapi nk gi toilet n duduk terseksa. Kena harapkn mama pakaikan. Kena duduk comfy sebab nak breastfeeding so time tu macam tak berapa selesa nak duduk. Lulur yang sapu kat perut and bengkung, bila kering bersepah. Lama-lama asyik skip je nak pakai.
Second try set bersalin mak dara, mama yang suruh try. Set ni jamu makan tu okay tak panas sangat. Yang mengarutnya ada botol kecik yang ada rempah campur bau cam menthol/vicks utk bau2 bagi tak pening... Tak perlu kot... Included in ada bengkung modern and tungku herba tapi it doesn't really work, tak panas and tak berat. Bengkung modern tu senang sikit nak pakai sendiri from yang traditional tapi bila pakai sendiri cepat sikit terburai bila nak ke toilet or nak duduk breast feeding.
So, untuk 3rd time, pantang sendiri di perantauan dan winter pulak tu, kenala make do dengan apa yang ada. Preparation bawak dari malaysia kali ni try nona roguy pulak, this time beli je sebotol pil makan. Lulur beli scrub kat sini. Terlupa nak bawak pil ikan haruan dan lotion panas tapi dah kirim kat mil. In the mean time makan ikan salmon and sapu minyak mastika. Bengkung pulak, sebab nak kena pakai sendiri, everyday all the time, better yang binded tapi comfy. Dah bawak all my girdles and also spanx.
Makan pulak tengah nak prepare frozen bawang-bawang etc so that bole masukkan lauk dan air. Ini idea-idea yang nak di sediakam untuk penyembuhan luka, memberi tenaga dan membanyakkan susu.

Back in the UK
Okay, and so I continued back to work as a project architect in Malaysia for about 3 years. Juggling the household and the career meant no time for blogging. Then DH got a scholarship to pursue his PhD so here we are, back again in the UK. This time we have smartphones, an ipad, more than 1 laptop and we even brought our tv in the luggage! I hope that with these gadgets I will be able to update more. It really depends as I also have FB, Pinterest, IG and such to update too. This leaves me with no time for twitter though. Haha

Mummy all over again
It's been quite a while, Even the dashboard has changed and I never knew of it, haha. The most
important happenings of 2011 was the birth of my second baby girl. It
still felt like a first time because the actual first was very easy.
This time, I really felt what giving birth was like for my mother. No
epidural, even the doctor didn't get to arrive on time, it really
summed up to OMG!. Alas, all pain resided when I held my baby in my
arms after being in labour for a mere 1 and a half hours. She weighed
2.27kg slightly bigger than her 1.92kg sister. She's gonna be a year old come 29 September, how time flies so fast. She's my second baby girl,
Adila Zulaikha. Picture taken at 4 months old, already so cheeky.
