9 Stars

// January 23rd, 2011 // No Comments » // blog

It has been 9 days Izzuddin has not been breastfed anymore. We are in the process of weaning him off entirely. Whenever he request “su”, I will refuse and he will actually cry. But then I will say to him “How many stars today?” and for instance “today u got 9 Stars!!”. I wanted to make some paper stars so he could have fun with the process but I have not had the opportunity to do so yet.

Later he will eventually request for “shu shu” which implies to his Dugro choc milk. I hope this weaning process will work. He does occasionally come and hug me and bites my nips from the outer side of my shirt…haha geram kot.

Izzuddin, you got 9 STARS today

Bebelan di pagi hari

It’s been quite a while I haven’t updated this blog…  I don’t blame on my work,  though…

Actually my netbook crashed and had to be sent to ASUS repair service in Imbi Plaza…

Bila check2 the hard disk sudah corrupt, perlu tukar. When we bought the hard disk SATA type, the repair service told me that the motherboard plak rosak… and to replace the motherboard… hmmm… tak payahlah… baik beli model netbook baru with Windows 7 lagi..  Netbook nowadays are so cheap, did u all know? but after thinking back… should I continue buying a netbook for pleasure purposes, or buy a laptop so I can invest skit on proper software for scrapbooking and editing? The price of these two options soo varies, I’m just not able to think yet… and then, what about my angan2 mahu beli DSLR?? huh… everything nak. nnt beli kt Courts baru tahu ;p

Apart from that, I’ve been seconded to another dept… in another place. Yup, no more Subang anymore. This might be 6 months… or maybe 1 year (psss… that’s what I heard latest). All because of what eh?? Hmm… hard to say…. but I’m gaining so much more here, and trying to adapt the shift work pattern. Did I say shift?? Yes… If you’re reading this, and wondering why on earth did she agreed to all this?? Well, if I don’t try it now… I will never get the chance, I guess. A move like this is important to prevent from being too comfortable in that isolated world (cubicle) and too depressing working environment. Hence, this work is much more exciting and getting to know ops of the airline is cool T_T

If you’ve been following my tweets… sometimes I do mention about my work.

But not everybody can follow… yes, I’ve protected my tweets from unwanted people snooping into my so-called boring life… haha…   But you may try your luck and request to follow. If I know u personally, that might be considered. Or we’ve met somewhere in Alam Maya…

ooh, I sudah melalut di awal pagi… just had to jot down the things about this shift pattern…

Working 8am to 8.30pm on day shift… and 8.00 pm to 8.30 am the following day, nite shift… Oh, not everyday… then we get 2 days off.

And due to its location in FMB KLIA, I’d rather commute from ERL putrajaya to KLIA naik ERL transit… malas nak fikir drive to KLIA and cari parking… tgklah how it goes. Nite shift, the best way is to go to Bangi and tidur petang situ before heading to ERL Putrajaya at 6pm.

Oh, and ada some nites when abi has to take care of Izzuddin… I believe he will be in good hands… bila lagi mahu suruh suami berkorban sedikit after all those nites of me being pregnant, labour, pantang and taking care of our precious whenever he’s not around. Bukan mengungkit, bukan mengadu… just asking to give and take…

It’s been almost a month here in KLIA… tentatively another 5 months to go. Also I’ve been getting some opportunity to go to interesting courses. Everything is so fast and moving forward. I am so liking this moment.

What can I say now?? I still don’t have time for my scrapbooking!!

I’ve been buying some additional paper and tools, but still haven’t got the strength… huhu… I have to start somehow kan. At least before the end of the year.. haha… rugi beli macam2 kt Papier the Curve tu.

haha, membebel lagi T_T

Wanted to put some photos of work, but now that we have some company policy on photography.. well, if you know the right place… you might see some photos (psss… kena pandai cari)

SELAMAT BERPUASA DI BULAN RAMADHAN yer kawan-kawan

Away – Cancelled!!

// June 24th, 2010 // 7 Comments » // blog

It’s final. I’m going there for a week. Flight will be this Saturday night.

And I’m not bringing Izzuddin coz abi doesn’t want to tag along and do nothing there.

Sob.. sob…

A bit hard for me, coz I’ve never been so far away for days from my precious baby. For sure he will miss me and of course I will miss him from afar.

Is it time already, for us to leave him on his own at night??

With no night-breastfeeding, is it time to wean him at 20 and a half months?

He will definitely merajuk dengan umminyer.  not anymore!!

He will definitely masam when he listens to my voice.

He will show his sad face on the laptop camera whenever we Skype… oh, so many sad thoughts already playing in my mind.

I’m sure to miss Izzuddin (and abi too!) a lot!!

Trying to be optimistic in a way…. I hope this separation will keep our bond and relationship much stronger, InsyaAllah.

UPDATE: Meeting postponed until further notice!!!!!!!!!!! Great news for Izzuddin and abi. Not really good news for me coz I was soo anticipating of going to France. Dar*…. if meeting resumed, it’ll be in September. What?? September RAYAlah Mr!!!

whereas the movie shows it/displays it, you don’t notice the small physical details? 
i’ll try to give my review when i finish reading this book…

trip to the dentist

// November 11th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // precious moments

if i had the chance to go back to the pass, i would like to change/take care of my teeth…. 


yes, i am embarrassed by my teeth, coz they are not nice or perfect like most people… 
sometimes i get embarrassed to talk to people just because of my teeth… i hate them and wish i can do cosmetic surgery to repair them… 


enough of me spilling my emotional thoughts…last Monday, i  had to go to the dentist coz the back teeth was aching too much…. so i went to klinik gigi sharifah in sg buloh and took time to wait for my turn… 
the anxiety was there during waiting period as i heard the sounds of the machine and the polishing/scaling…. 
uurrggghh… this was not a good sign… 


my time came, and so my mouth and teeth were checked… 
three holes… so three fillings were done… 
and i was told that there were 3 teeth failures… meaning the previous root canal treatment during my matriculation years was also a failure…. so what is the dentist going to do??? 
TWO ROOT CANAL TREATMENTS!!! this will mean a few trips to the dentist…. arrgghh… 
also she recommended that the teeth be x-rayed first to see if there was any ‘nanah’…. 
the teeth that was aching, still hurts as the dentist could only prescribe antibiotics…. 
gladly these treatment bill will be covered by my company. 


next step, would be crowning both of my front ‘kapak’ teeth…. can the crown teeth be smaller than my current teeth?? hehe…. 
i might ask about braces as well…. FYI both of these treatments will not be covered by my company… 
hmmm…. need to do it, so i can regain my confidence once again… sigh….
or maybe just do veneers porcelain??  from what i read, this treatment can only be done for teeth that are not damaged…. another sigh….

why i like my work here and forget people that bothers me a lot

i get to do some test and fly in the sky for free

though it was a short 45minutes transit, i still managed to step on langkawi’s soil! (runaway actually, haha)

another thing, it’s best to travel to langkawi by plane, much more faster…

no hassle at the ferry services or need to park your car at the jetty.
also the long hours in the bus (i’ve been to langkawi 2 times by bus & ferry)

I’m not a makeup person, but i do need to wear some sort of compact powder to cover my pimple scars. so the only makeup that seems suitable for me is mineral makeup which was introduced by my colleague, ellywirda…

the kabuki brush that i use is only RM39 here…

its US$10 if u buy it from the EM website.

wow, jimat belanja!!! (if count the delivery as well, on a single item bought)

oh yeah, get free shipping for purchases above RM100

or can choose to pick-up item on selective dates.

we’ll have to see if my tone foundation is actually sold there
lets see…
matte… yes…
hmmm…medium or light medium…??

aha.. light medium ada…
(“,)

haha…no, don’t worry…. i won’t buy it soon..

still got stock lah.. can last 3-4 months for one jar.

and i still have to do calculations if buying from US is much more cheaper for long time being.

for more instructions on how to use EM, lots of people have posted them in youtube.

just search for the best ‘before and after’ tutorials…

happy viewing

5 product yang saya dah boikot :
1. Huggies – ini applicable for Izzuddin actually but we are the buyer… now using cloth diaper part time and Mamypoko for nursery and travelling.. less dispo, please consider our earth ok!
2. Lux, Palmolive – dah pernah dengar rumours about these product.. prefer using Shokubutsu and May
3. Estee Lauder products – dah check in the list, non items in my house or owned… cudos!!
4. Nokia - using Sony Ericcson, abi using Samsung.
5. MAC, Maybelline – lama dah berhenti using these makeup.. try Everyday Minerals, light and no harsh chemicals.

5 produk yang saya dah cuba boikot :
1. Mc D, KFC.. setakat time boikot tu, only once makan kt KFC.. but still loving sundae McD
2. Mars, Twix, KitKat - being a choc lover, sometimes i do get tempted, but i’ve been letting myself see more Cadbury in the picture… keke
3. Maggi – we tried local ones, quite sedaplah… also Mamee and Cintan
4. Ambi Pur Car fragrance - minyak wangi for the car pun dah lama habis, will try find an alternative from other brands.
5. Carrefour - dah try elak… but sometimes the shops inside the building is the most convenient place to lunch.

5 produk yang sukar diboikot :
1. Intel - using Intel Atom for my netbook
2. Nestle (Nescafe/Milo – kt rumah takde, tp ofis memang sentiasa ada kt pantry. trying to buy those readymade sachet mcm kopi radix, product Cosway etc…)
3. Johnson & Johnson – baru ni terpaksa beli Nappy cream J&J, 13% zinc oxide for izzuddin’s nappy rash… what to do, it was the best option at the time. Still using bedak Johnson yg ada, but i’ve always loved bedak Carrie yg pink itu.
4. Oral-B – like Mun, ku rasa it’s the best toothbrush available, ku guna yg paling murah Contura sbb selalu tertinggal kampung, so buy another one… hehe…
5. Glade dan Ambi Pur house fragrance – love their scent.. perhaps i’ll buy Cosway products for alternative. beli byk boleh dpt bonus in return!
