Mommyhood Updates

Hi everyone...

:D how are you? sorry for the lack of update though i love to do so. all updates always end up unpublish. what to do. i lost my mojo (lost lah sgt. ckp je mls bole?). i have no updates like forever, no? haha...

Okay, now i am stop baking for a while, probably because i have a very little time, and need more rest. I am teaching for an afternoon session which requires me to come home late, and be at school around 11. Plus i never wanted to deal with those who always wanted a cake yg hebat2 and mahu cheapest price.... tak larat. dan tak berbaloi. kehkeh.

anyhoo, i doin well coping with my job... and i started to love my students. i never been go hard on them, but not too soft as they would step onto me. hehehe.

apart of a busy life, i need to share something with all of you. i guess it is a time to let the cat out of the bag. well, this is the reason of why i been so lazy and unwell lately. having a bad back ache, vomiting, and lazyyyy.. haha. can u guess it already? yeah... i am now 2months delayed with my period. and Ariana will be a Kakak soon. I feel grateful for the coming baby. I always  pray to Allah to always be showered with HIS protection.Thank you Allah...

I was in week 5 during this :P

so i am not having a bad morning sickness. well i had it but it's not as worse as my first pregnancy. it is just my body feels like bloating. gomok. gaseous. anddddd heavy. yeah. my baju kurung are all sempit already. especially the sarong. (T_T). i never went for a routine check up yet...

weight, i thought its around 56kg. gosh. last i check my weight is 53kgs and that was on last year. having a back ache and i guess it is because my bones have lost their strength. because my daughter still cant wean off.and i was too lazy to take those calcium pills. energy level, so so. i am lazy and not so energetic as always... cravings, hurm. nothing much... health, okay. emos, not really.. :P

ok thats preety much of ramblings. gotta go and i guess i gonna see u soon :P

p/s: Malacca is now having BBW ! excited!

life as a teacher

So...

here goes the silence again in here. ahaha. sorry guys. i barely have a time to update. too lazy to boot up my lappy. too lazy of everything. yeah, i'm a lazy-bump lately. i even stop taking any orders for cakes and desserts which i loved to do before. and make ka-ching ka-ching with it. eheh...

Well you know, now i work as a teacher. pretty tough tho. especially when u're asked to teach something out of your option. so-fahking-tough... but i wont let my students underrated me. ahahaha...

so here i go. last 5years i always dreaming and wishing i could use a #crewlife hashtag on my twitter and now the dream has blown off. wahahah!!! such a great dreamer i am. so being a teacher wasnt that bad actually. i had fun and try to be as good as i can.

i wont tell you what subject i was assign to teach. hihi. perhaps i'll tell u in the next-next-next post? can ah? :P

Yeah. i was excited when i received an SMS telling me that my first-freakin-salary has credited into my account. wuuhaaa~ well who dont? ekekek. so the first thing i do with my salary is top up credit henpon mak ayah. cool huh? :P

yeah, life's pretty good and goes well. Ariana being such a good girl. she even called me when im at school and singing ABC, and also happy birthday though it wasnt my bday yet. she also tell me she wants  'su lagi'. which means "mama, i dont want to wean-off yet. still nak susu" ahaha. cute~ well, no parent's said their child didnt :P

Lactation Cookies

Holla Amigos!

its been a while my very own blog have been neglected. yeah, i've been busy. I am sorry guys.

so the school holiday was over. and here i am again. Have such a great school Holiday with Family .we went to Legoland at JHB. 

the Review:

1) If you're planning to go to the Legoland, please bring along your umbrella. One for each person. Seriously i am sun-burned.... and my baby too. i bought a small umbrella for her and i am RM30 broke.

2) Tapau Food. You dont want to know how much i've spent for food and drinks during the trip in the Legoland. But at least u dont mind to spend RM20 only for two sausages, fries and softdrinks. or RM22 for a plate of nasi ayam.
3) do NOT WEAR HIGH HEELS. hahaha

:D

We're staying at Le Grandeur Palm Resort. Because hubby had a Golf on that day so we pick the Play and Stay packages provided by the resort. It was such a nice hotel and of course my little girl loved it because of its swimming pool :P. mengada2 nak main air kat kolam orang dewasa. haishh

alright, enough rumbling about the trip...

so i baked the lactation cookies the night before i went to JB. My friend asked me to give it a try and it turns out lovely, and yummy too. ;)

This recipe was taken from My Friend's FB. sorry i couldnt recalled the name but i would like to thanked Kak Cham Ali to introduce me to the recipe and trust me to try bake it. FYI my first 3 tray were disaster. it sticks onto my greaseproof paper like hell. and everytime i try to remove it from the paper... it breaks. so i change it into a silicon paper. and, modified the recipe.

so i try to modify the recipe a bit and after that, every trays had been a success. there are few tips on baking these lovely cookies

1. Make the dough 1 day before u bake it. there's a reason why we have to 'perap' all the ingredients. sama mcm rendam bijirin. or u can soak your rolled oats overnight and drain it before use.
2. use a silicon paper to line your baking sheet.

so here's the recipe...

JOB

Last two weeks on 27th March ive been called for an interim teacher post in the school where i did my practicum. i was shocked and blurry because my name just came up for Job interview from SPP at Putrajaya on 6th March. all in the same time. confusing for which and what i should do, where to start whatsoever.

First thing first, i went to JPN for some briefing. and we are told to report duties on first March which i didnt. I've decided to went after my interview with SPP settled. 

Interview have went well (well, at least well for me. for iv-er... i am not pretty sure). im having a panic attack for almost everyday since my name hve been shortlisted for the interview. i even cannot sleep and eat for several times. 

It was a huge crowd at SPP. and i have to wait for 4 hours for my turn to be interviewed. 

i am lucky that my IV group was very active and responsive.and the interviewer said "Saya suka group ini ya. aktif dan responsive. tak ada lah saya mengantuk. jadi kumpulan ini interview habis cepat."

previous 4 group had been interviewed for 1 hour. and our group finished our session for just 30minutes! is that a good thing? :-S

so here's the thing... mula-mula masuk tu ketuk pintu dan beri salam. kalau kenal penemuduga lagi bagus. beri salam Assalamualaikum datuk, datin, cikgu, Tuan, Puan.. dan duduk bila di suruh. perkara pertama yang saya lihat dia memerhatikan wajah kami semua dan pakaian. termasuk lah kasut. mula-mula masuk bilik temuduga 9 tu mmg cuak dan tegang betul. tgn saya even menggeletar dan selawat saja dalam hati banyak-banyak.

1. mulanya kami di suruh memperkenal diri dan apakah pekerjaan yang dilakukan sementara menanti posting. tempat asal pun dia tanya.
2. dia tanya pasal program transformasi negara. she didnt mention program. cuma dia tanya, apakah aspek yang perlu bagi menjadikan negara kita maju dan membangun?
3. Krisis lahad Datu. sapakah menteri yang berasal dari Sabah yg kamu tahu? (kabinet) aku bengong g jawab Bung Mokhtar. erk. but she said its ok at least kamu peka dan ada knowledge
4. beralih kepada guru Cemerlang Geografi Pn. Hamidah. Pertama sekali di tanya tentang krisis lahad Datu berlaku di Felda mana
5. kemudian diberi satu helai kertas proposal untuk mengadakan program luar sekolah membawa pelajar. kami di minta menyenaraikan contoh objektif program yang sangat meyakinkan. Contoh Program ialah Biodiversiti
6. seterusnya kami di tanya bagaimana menulis refleksi PnP.
7. Apakah yg anda tahu tentang landskap utama Lumut?
8. Fenomena yang bakal berlaku pada 21 March. aku g jwb perubahan musim solstis. :-O


gitula sinopsis interview aku. haih. balik2 je aku sakit kepala 3 hari straight

Breastfeeding Pt2

Ramai yg tanya apa persediaan untuk menjadi BF-mom.

well i dont have a specific answer... tapi bagi ibu yang beginners dan mencari apa yg perlu tahu utk BF, bole cuba baca post ini :)

anyway--

first thing yg kita perlu lakukan ialah persediaan mental dan psikologi. sebab BF-Mom ini bukan suatu tugas mudah lebih-lebih lagi sebagai seorang wanita bekerjaya. Sebab kena konsisten. kena betul2 tekad dan usaha. kena tanam dalam fikiran aku byk susu dan cukup serta mampu susukan anak aku. unless mmg awal2 dah nak kasi Formula Milk. then go on... 

tp, cuba lah beri ASI selama yg boleh. you cant imagine how much benefit ASI kepada anak kita... 

Persediaan berikutnya ialah ilmu pengetahuan berkenaan Penyusuan SI ni. Lebih2 lagi ibu yg ingin menyusukan anak susuan sekali. memang banyak perlu dipelajari, baik ilmu penyusuan secara fizikal atau dari sudut keagamaan. contohnya dari petikan Hadith,

"indeed, Allah has prohibited (marriage) among suckling relatives, as He has prohibited it among birth (or blood) relatives)"

di dalam juga Islam turut menggalakkan penyusuan susu Ibu.

firman Allah S.w.t:

Maksudnya:
Para ibu hendaklah menyusukan anak-anaknya selama dua tahun penuh, iaitu bagi yang ingin menyempurnakan penyusuan.
(Al-Baqarah 2:233)

Rasulullah s.a.w juga menegaskan perihal had umur bayi yang disabitkan hukum penyusuan iaitu selama dua tahun sebagaimana hadis baginda yang diriwayatkan oleh al-Tirmizi:

Maksudnya:
Tidak akan menjadi mahram dari susuan kecuali susuan yang boleh membuka usus (membesarkan pertumbuhan anak) dan penyusuan itu hendaklah sebelum sampai dua tahun.

jgn hentam kromo saja. ilmu penyusuan penting kerana ilmu penjagaan/pengendalian susu perahan yg betul mampu mengekalkan dan membekalkan khasiat di dalam susu itu kepada anak.

Persediaan berikutnya, peralatan-peralatan utk menyimpan stok susu anda bagi ibu-ibu yang bekerja atau PJJ dengan anak. antara persediaan peralatan tersebut ialah:

1) Pam susu - pilihlah mengikut kesesuaian. tidak kira yg elektrik atau manual. Marmet (perah menggunakan tangan) juga salah satu cara memerah susu.

2) storage bottle/ bag - hal ini penting. pilihlah cara penstoran yg sesuai terutama bagi menyelesaikan masalah ruangan. Cara penyimpanan paling efficient adalah menggunakan storage bag, sgt menjimatkan ruang
3) peralatan lain seperti Cooler bag, Ice pack, peti ais, ice box, semua ini adalah bertujuan untuk memindahkan susu perahan dari tempat kerja ke rumah. penting.
4) Milk booster - not necessarily... tp kalau rasa nak jugak, buleh la.
5) lain-lain keperluan aksesori tambahan untuk penyusuan. contoh mcm milk collector.

Persediaan lain, ialah ketahuilah apa sahaja istilah penting dalam dunia penyusuan seperti let down reflex (LDR), Sore nipple, Blocked Duct, rustic pipe syndrome, dan bermacam-macam lagi ;)

ni masa aku kat Kolej. haha. segar dari ladang
