Howth

Last weekend cuaca sangat cantik. Bukan senang nk dpt clear blue sky macam nih, so we went to Howth for a picnic :).


Sampai around 1pm, then terus makan2. Our favorite is fish & chip from Beshoff. Kalau pegi Howth wajib makan this (but Z makan bekal dari rumah jer laa..) :)


Lepas makan n rehat2, we went to playground. First time for Z nih. And he doesnt really enjoyed it.. Bila try letakkan dia kat any games tu, mesti dia mengamuk2 siap peluk mama/papa erat2 lagi.. Haahahah!! Takut la pulak yer..


Tak per lah, first time, Z x biasa lagi.. Nanti2 mama bawak selalu2 ke playground yer Z :)


Lepas dh penat main, we have a nice stroll to the harbour.. Then around 3.30 uncle bazk n auntie chai dtg join. End up that evening we were following them back to their place and have our dinner there.


Hopefully this weekend the weather will be nice as well. boleh bersiar-siar lagi. nanti dah start puasa nanti dah tentu malas mahu jenjalan..

GRRRRRR!!!!

O.M.G!!

Petang tadi I got a call from SMH about the blood test we did on Monday. There were some mixed up on the paperwork and Z unfortunately has to re do the test!!! I asked why, and she said that the name on the sample form was spelt differently from the one that my husband put on the form during registration process. padehal 1 letter jer pun yg salah ZachEry instead of ZachAry. and she said they can not accept that because its their stupid policy. fine!

then i asked, since now u know who is the owner, can u just used that blood sample? NO, THEY HAVE DISCHARD THE BLOOD!! and she continued, its only took 2 hrs for you to come in and do the blood. hey, that's not even my problem! the problem is, my poor child has to go through that horrific moment again!

then I rang hubby.. pot pet pot pet marahkan dia because of his silly mistake. turn out he said he doesnt even f***ing fill in any form! He showed them the letter he got from SMH (with Z's name and details on it) and the receptionist yg key in the wrong details in their system. so, the mistake was made by the hospital's staff themself. and to cover that, they blame it on us.

marahnyaaa sayaaaaaa!!!!!
and my poor baby.. sigh.. trauma semalam pun x lepas lagi.. nak kene pegi lagi skali pulak... waaaaaaaaa...!

Bravery Award

Semalam Z's first appointment with pead at St Michael House (SMH). Mama & papa cuti lah for this reason. First time jugak we visited SMH. Besar jugak tempatnya.. They even have their own international school and swimming pool! Look like a very nice place for regular visit eh :)

Anyway, we met Dr Siobhan. Overall she said Z did really well and above average for DS chart! Well done sayang mama :D.

Berat: still 8.5kg she said ok lah since mama&papa pun kurus aje..
tinggi: 75cm
Ukur lilit kepala: 45cm average

Eyesight n hearing looks normal, but she will still refer us to the specialist. Then she quiet concern dgn Z's lactose intolerence lah. So she also will refer us to dietrician. Takut tak cukup calcium katanya.. But he obviously look healthy. Cuma she thinks better we do proper allergy test utk confirm.

Anyhoo, we also got some not-so-good news. Based on previous blood test (in March) they noticed that Z's thyroid level quite high. 8.6. whereby, normal people usually have between 1-5 aje. So she asked for another blood test to monitor the level. Kalau increasing, kene buat treatment lah..



So, after SMH, we went straightaway to Children Hospital Temple Street for another blood test. Wow, kali nih Z meraung mmg x pedulik sesapa dah. Mama pun tahaann jer masa tgh amik darah tu. Keluar jer dari bilik tu, mama pun tumpang meleleh2.. Huhu..sian lah dekat anak mama nih..

Hopefully the result will be favourable to us. InsyaAllah...


Kejap jer nangisnyaa.. Balik rumah terus happy as if nothing happen :D

Lompat si katak lompat!

Lompat2 is still his favorite :)

Garuk2

Lately Z kene eczema yg agak teruk. Tapi kat muka jer laa.. More mcm heat rashes kot since skrg nih kan musim panas..

Another thing is, rasanya dia kurang sesuai dgn cream2 yg di pakai skrg. Masa kat m'sia dulu pun dia kene eczema. Mmg lagi teruk lah. His paed at that time kasik cream apa ntah, which does work wonder. Bila cream tu dh dekat nk habis, i bought sebamed protective facial cream and been using that eversince. Tapi last month cream tu dh habis, and i couldnt find it anywhere here! Dh carik online from uk and us pun x der. Ada kat m'sia aje.. Sungguh hairan di situ??

So, to replace the cream, at first i bought johnson n johnson.. Pakai 2-3 hari, x jadik apa2 pun.. Then i found some german cream yg quite expensive. Try tgk, x berkesan jugak! Then my friend suggest e45 yg biasa tu aje, pun x berkesan.. 2-3 harini makin bertambah teruk. Tergaruk2 jer dia. Mmg kene kawal selalu lah. Abis merah2 n luka2 muka.. Haihh..

I have ordered sebamed from malaysia. 2-3 mgu jugak kot baru nk sampai.

Tadi pegi GP, sbb mmg dh tatau dah nk pakai apa.. The doctor ada bagi prescription cream. Hopefully ok lah.. He also suggest to use oilatum. So beli lah jugak set dia tadi.. Sekali dgn bath.

Hopefully ok lah yer sayang.. Kesian mama tgk tergaruk2 tenyeh2 sampai merah muka tu..

Next sale

Semalam for the first time, mama berjaya bangun pada pukul 4.30 pagi! Semata2 mahu mengejar Next sale yg bermula pada pukul 5 am. Selama mama tinggal di sini, x pernah lagi mama segigih ini. Walaupun dah banyak kali kawan2 mama ajak join diorang, tapi mama kurang berminat sangat dengan brand nih. Cukuplah setakat dtg tgh harinya saje.



But demi Z, mama sanggup! Next's Children mmg sangat menarik. The design are variety, very updated and high quality. Price range normal high street lah. Thats why bila dapat beli during sale, ter amat berbaloi! Sale pulak atleast 50% discount. Memang berpinar2 mata :)



Masa mama sampai tu, lebih kurang 10 minit late lah jugak. Suma org dah masuk and semua org dah carry berbakul2 hasil. Memang hiruk pikuk jadinya. Mama pun segeralah kaut apa aja yg nampak menarik and yg paling penting, size!



So now Z dah ada enough stocks pakaian harian (& jalan2) for the next 6 months. Lepas nih just top up sikit2 sudah lah. Then we wait for another Next sale which is in December :)

11th Months

~some things have changed, some are remain the same~

Happy 11th months old sayammm mamaaa..!
1 more month and you will be 1 year old! cepat betul masa berlalu ek..

anyway, update terkini..
berat 8.5kg. rasanya Z makan mcm biasa aje, apesal berat tak naik2 nih? (berat mama pulak yg naik mencanak bulan nih.. seramm lah!)
walaupun mama rasa berat Z biasa2 aje (still below average actually), tapi banyak kali dah org tegur, diorang ingatkan Z dah umo setahun setengah or 2 thn mcm tu. hairan jugak lah mama bila org tegur mcm tu.. maybe sebab muka Z nampak matured kot? or maybe jugak sebab mama ni kecik, so nampak Z tu besar? entahlah..

mulai harini mama dah suruh kak yah tambahkan extra 1 sudu beras utk nasi Z. ayam/daging/ikan pun mama suruh kak yah tambah. sayur pun mama suruh mix 2-3 jenis skali. kalau masih x cukup, bagitau mama yer Z?

perkembangan lain, Z dah boleh berdiri sambil berpaut pada mama utk 4-5 seconds!. sblm nih Z mmg x mahu berdiri langsung. kalau kita dirikan, mesti dia nk lompat2 aje.. sekarang pun masih lagi lompat2 lah.. cuma ada ketikanya tu, Z akan cuba berdiri sambil berpaut pada badan mama. so, his legs actually getting stronger lah pada firasat mama.. :)

dah pandai push up! masa mula2 buat push up tu, muka mmg bangga tak ingat laa.. hehehe.. siap panggil2 mama n papa tiap kali dia boleh buat push up tu.. lucu lah awak Z..
tapi nak angkat perut jer susah sikit. perut agak berat (due to previous problem). so, setakat nih hanya mampu buat push up and angkat bontot sahaja. but the good thing is, bila dh boleh push up nih, dia dh boleh bergerak banyak. still x boleh pegi jauh lah, tapi mmg dah pakar pusing sana sini.. tak per, x lama lagi boleh la merangkak or at least berkomando yer.. :)

hantu TV! OMG! mama mmg blame this on papa. sibuk beli TV besar, end up mmg bende tu jer lah yg Z nampak setiap hari.. tak jemu2 dia tgk his favorite dvds. mama mmg tak nak galakkan sgt Z tgk TV nih. tapi memandangkan bibik pun x boleh harap bab2 bermain sambil belajar dgn Z, maka nak tak nak mama terpaksalah menggunakan TV utk entertain Z. so far mama cuma belikan dvd set 'your baby can..'. so, pagi2 mmg itu jer lah keje Z. mmg dia akan diaaamm jer bila tgk tv tu. then kalau dia dh bosan tgk dvd, bibik akan bukak channel cbeebies or nick jr utk Z. show mcm 'in the night garden' or 'waybuloo' tu mama mmg tak halang lah utk Z tgk.. tapi masalahnya time mama kat office, ntah citer apa2 jer lah yg bibik bukak. but at least the 2 channels mmg utk babies pun. should be ok lah kot.. cuma.. kalau boleh tu, mama mmg tak nak lah Z asik tgk tv jer... sob..sob..

Z sudah pandai 'memerap'. nak org dukung aje.. pastu since last month, pagi2 mama nak pegi keje tu mmg akan berlaku episod memilukan lah sikit. Z mesti meronta2 sambil tangan tergapai2 suruh mama angkat. pastu lepas mama dah kiss2 goodbye, mesti Z akan melalak2.. haiyooo.. sebak mama tau. akibatnya, mama asik saja lambat masuk keje.. tapi alhamdulillah lah, sejak seminggu dua nih Z dah tak melalak lagi. cuma tangan masih tergapai2 n muka tercebik2 aje bila mama pegi keje tu..

bila mama balik keje pulak, mmg tergedik2 jer Z nak suruh mama dukung. tgh tgk tv pun mesti berhenti and sibuk kejar mama. kadang2 mama penat sgt, mama just sit beside him. mesti Z akan cuba utk panjat2 mama. habih di tarik2 kain baju mama sbb nk suruh dukung.. hehhehe.. mmg anak manja mama betul lah..

ok lah, itu aje kot perkembangan terkini.. tak kisah lah.. yg penting, mama sgt happy sekarang sbb Z membesar dgn sihat. mama tak mo lah Z sakit2 yer.. kita sama2 jaga kesihatan tau..

on another note; birthday Z bakal menjelma. memandangkan birthday nya jatuh pada bulan puasa, mama rasa x perlulah nk buat party2 bagai.. buka puasa pun dah pukul 9 malam. kanak2 mesti dh tertido time tu kan.. tapi insyaAllah, mama akan adakan jugak lah majlis kecik2 utk Z first birthday nanti.. sekadar kita2 pun cukup lah yer..:)

Tumbuk-tumbuk Emp!ng

Tumbuk-tumbuk emping
emping dalam gantang
nampak tikus bunting
lari masuk dalam lubangggg..!

kawan2 mama semua cakap x pernah dengar pun lagu nih.. hmm.. maybe lagu nih popular kat kampung mama di kedah ajer kot sebab storyline dia berasaskan padi (dan tikus) hehehe..

sambil menyanyi tu, mama akan cucuk2 tapak tangan or kaki Z and then bila dah nampak tikus, terus mama larikan jari2 mama ke arah ketiak or perut Z.. and Z akan ketawa kekek2 kegelian.. hahahaha..

selalunya Z mmg dah tahu lah dia akan digeletek, so bila mama nyanyi aje lagu nih, dia dah awal2 lagi ketawa sambil kepit2 ketiak and cover2 perut dia.. hahahaha.. funny lah Z :P

anyway, lately mama dah mcm terikut papa's version of the song.. sbb bunyinya lagi funny. Z pun dah get used to the new lyric..

Papa's version of 'Tumbuk-tumbuk Emping'

Nyut nyut nyut..
tikus dalam guni..
nyunyut nyunyut nyunyut nyunyut nyunyutttt..

nyut nyut adalah lirik yang papa tak tahu.. hahahah..
bukan saja lirik, lagunya pun papa dah sesuka hati tukar..
hantam sajalah papa ooiiii..! hehehe

Breakdown

Why it sounded easier in my head?

I have been rehearsing the phrase for quite sometimes now. But when the time comes, it just did not come out as easy as I have planned.

*sigh*

BOSAN

buhsan lah mama dekat office harinih. Sangat tak de keje. And it will be like this for few more week I guess. Its summer break, most of academicians are on leave. So, activites has slowing down a lot. Bestnya kalau cuti mama masih banyak, boleh lah lepak2 kat rumah aje. Nih dtg office makan gaji butaa saje.. Hopefully esok lusa dah settle lah contract agreement for my new portfolio. Tak de lah buhsan sebegini *yawwnnn*.

June at a Glance

Entry rojak dan tidak mengikut aturan tarikh kejadian.

 

1. Happy Birthday Papa & Happy Father’s Day too

Papa keje on his birthday, so x dpt lah celebrate bersama2. Bila papa balik on Friday night tu, barulah mama n Z buat surprise. Kami ber tiga jer lah pun.. but papa really thrilled with the surprise.. mmg terkujat lah dia hehehe..

and mama berpeluang utk membalas dendam pada papa. Yes, mama bought him a Father’s Day card instead. Hahahah.. (sila refer to previous entry)

 

2. Happy 2^nd Birthday Ryan

Happen last 3 weeks. first birthday party yg Z attend. sblm nih asik ada saja kekangannya bila mendapat jemputan. This time the venue was close to our place, so kenalah pergi. Party start pukul 6.30pm. As expexted, Z mmg dah tido lah. Bila org dah habis berparty baru dia bangun. Tak per lah, asal menghadirkan diri sudah la yer Z. Lgpun Z bukannya paham apa2 pun lg pasal birthday2 nih..hehehe.. (so, mama pun x perlu ler risau2 sgt utk Z’s incoming birthday :P)

 

3. Untie Meri 30 something & Father’s Day

Takde lah party2 bagai, just keluar makan2 bersama kengkawan rapat dan jugak kakak Caroline.

 

4. Dublin’s Pride Festival

Okeh, kite mmg tak celebrate pun yer mende alah nih. tatau pun kewujudan nya. Kebetulan we all keluar jalan2 kat luar.. and agak hairan kenapalah berduyun2 manusia diluar. Rupa2nya ada parade.. (it’s a Gay/Lesbian Parade actually heheh…) Z, jgn nk jadik pelek2 tau. As far as the world (and so do mama) respecting their right, we as a muslim kena lah tahu yg haram itu tetap haram. Ok?

 

5. Summer @ Stephen’s Green

These few weeks, summer really hit in. so, every weekend kami bawak Z ke Stephen’s Green Park (itu jer pun yg paling dekat..). Z mmg sgt suke berada di taman. He really enjoyed looking at the trees, birds and ducks. Paling best, every time angin bertiup kencang kat muka dia, mesti dia akan gelak mengekek2.. geli agaknya kot.. heeeee.. mmg best lah lepak2 di taman sambil2 main bubbles, sambil dengar Z bebels, sambil makan favorite macaroons.. ahhhh… blissful weekends! 

unfortunately, this weekend dah start raining kot.. pffttt!

 

6. Summer Sales now on

And unfortunately this time it isn’t about mama anymore (n mama seem dont really care??) We’ve done mothercare, mamas & papas, GAP kids and anything on sale basically. But mama still waiting for Next’s Summer Sales. Still have long list for Z’s summer & autumn attire :P

Sekian…
