Stay at home mother - SAHM

I am counting a days to get back to work. Insyallah, I'll start working with new company next week. Oh...Monday blues. huhuhu

Perasaan saat ini - rasa macam-macam - sedih, berdebar, risau, takut. It seems like the negative feelings took over me at this moment. Sekarang ni asyik dok peluk & cium Nuha je. Dia pun naik rimas. hahaha. I wish I could stay at home any longer. Oh, Nuha already took her first few steps this week. Makin hari makin mahir melangkah. Well done my darling.

Since I left my job & stay at home, I've got so many people will asking me this popular question. "Tak boring ke duduk rumah jaga anak?" Frankly speaking, I never felt bored at all. Stay at home was heaven. Bukan duduk rumah goyang kaki. Kenalah buat kerja rumah kan. Masak, mengemas, membasuh, mencuci & so on. A never ending job. Letih? Alah bisa tegal biasa. Cewah. Dok ofis lagi letih. Letih berlakon. hahaha ;p

Jaga Nuha - best job ever! Within this 3months, I'd learned a lot, especially on be patient. Sabar jaga anak ni lain. Tak sama macam kita sabar dengan husband. hehehe. There was 1day, were Nuha was so cranky from day to night. Sungguh menguji tahap kesabaran saya. I was tired - physical & mental. And I lost with myself. I scoulded Nuha. Kesian dia. On the next morning, I turn into Prof Muhayya ceramah, and I feel so guilty. I keep on minta maaf with Nuha walaupun dia maybe tak faham. Bukan anak saja yang kena minta maaf pada parent kalau buat salah. Tapi parent pun kena minta maaf pada anak kalau ada yang terkurang dalam mendidik anak. As told by Prof Muhayya.

Miss my job? Hell no. Maybe I'm not an ambitious woman. Takpe. Ramai lagi woman engineer yang hebat di luar sana. Please replace my spot. I want to retired, stay at home & raised up my daughter (and her sibling in future, insyallah).

Maknye over sengih. Abaikan. haha ;p

Janda Baik

This reunions was held few months ago, ngam ngam lepas my last day of working. Again, entry tertunggak ;p

Finally, the plan to overnight with my UTM mates terlaksana jua, after a few times tergendala. The most challenging part was to gather everybody & fix the time. Maklumlah mostly depa memang buzy with career & families. Our last gathering kat Port Dickson which is 5years back. Lama dah. Masa tu semua bujang trang tang tang. hehehe :)

The reason buat gathering ni pun sebab lama dah kami tak berkumpul & lepak together + sebab saya berpindah ke JB. I never thought nak booking a place to stay kat Janda Baik is quite tough. Iye. Mostly dah fully booked during weekends. Any weekends even bukan time cuti sekolah. So, if you're planning to stay there, better make an early reservation. Luckly we manage to get Le' Manah Retreat located at Kampung Chemperoh, a tudor style holiday bungalow.

This place were absolutely great! Memang best for small gathering. Super best from A-Z. The warm hospitality, the good services & the variety of facilities. Yang penting well maintained & bersih. Highly recommended! psttt...our mini gathering picture is featured in Le' Manah web. hehehe :)

Got this very delicious cupcakes as our welcome treat :)

Our tentative programme, lepak, makan & sembang sampai lebam mata. hahaha ;p Betul... I think we chit chat sampai ke pagi. Ada je topik nak boraknye. Aktiviti santai & sempoi aje.

Ni Nuha bersama bakal mak mertua. Diskus nak letak hantaran kawen. hehehe ;p

Mandi manda at children swimming pool. Mak budak yang terlebih excited. hahaha ;p

Wajib pi mandi sungai pulak. Sungai depan banglo tu je. Syok gile. 

Air sungai sejuk macam ais, menggigil Nuha ;)

Later at night, we had barbeque & karaoke time. Yummy!

Tu dia champion karok...Mak-mak tengah bergosip ;p

On preparation. Sapa tu yang tengah pulun mengipas? hehehe

Suasana pagi yang peaceful. Ronda-ronda dengan basikal. Kat luar banglo, ada games room yang provide kids playing area (mini playground), ping pong table & corum table. Yes..games for bapak-bapak ;) Our kids seronok get along among them.

Experience this! Got a fish for a first time fishing. Nak naik bot pon boleh. Badminton match. hehehe ;)

The Boys

The Girls

After breakfast, masing-masing packing their stuff. It's time to go home. Before that, acara bergambar untuk kenangan.

Mak dara + anak dara

Love this candid snap :) Walaupon berdagu dua. hahaha

We had a wonderful time there. This place give me a cozy feeling & it's a perfect gateaway I ever had with my besties so far. Rasa relax sangat, tenang with nature & fresh surrounding. Love it to the bits.

Check out their website for more info & great offer. Kak Ayu the owner of this bungalow was so kind to deal with. We will be happy to comeback here anytime. Insyallah

Nuha's 1st Birthday Party

It just a small celebration among close families & friends. Hajat di hati nak jemput ramai to this party, but budget kami kecil-kecilan saja. Maaf tak dapat undang more families & kawan-kawan. Insyallah, ada rezeki nanti, pasti kami jemput. Lebih ramai & lebih meriah :)

So, this is what we settle with... a homely party. Of course Nuha's brain still not keep this memory, but she will tersengih sorang-sorang bila tengok gambar ni dah besar nanti. Photos are from my old camera anyway (horrible, I know! Sooner or later I will hunt the new one). Sedikit kechiwa sebab tak banyak captured gambar Nuha on that day ;(

Nama pun party budget kan, so from foodies to decoration, kami pakat buat sendiri, homemade & handmade. I do enjoy doing the preparation but berpeluh la jugak nak siapkan everythings in few hours, rasa macam masuk pertandingan Masterchef ;p

Ok, here's the menu : (Homemade) Birthday cake - Carrot hazelnut cheese cake, Chip chocolate cupcakes, Baked macaroni, Custard fruits jelly pudding, Cucur udang. Sate, order, belum tau nak bikin. hehehe. Halal marshmellow & biscuit.

I'm not a big fan of marshmellow (sebab rasanya peliks for me), but this marshmellow adalah sangat sedap! Remember that biscuit? Yup. I called it biskot jambul. It's my all time favourite since I was a kid. I bet you too :)

Famili side Syahrul, Atuk & Uwan, Mak Long, Pak Long, Kak Syirah & Hasif, Mak Lang & Pak Lang

Nuha with half corum of aunties 10GBH. Thank you for coming! and also for the presents :)

Cuma 1 je yang buat saya risau, mood Nuha. And... my instinct never go wrong. Nuha was cranky & nak berkepit dengan mak dia saja all the time. I will defitinely tell her how cengeng she was on that day. hehehe ;p

Nota kaki : Oh, Nuha belum boleh berjalan. Dia kata tak ready lagi. Boley? hehehe ;)
