Far Far Away

Ta-ta Ayah.
It’s hard to say good bye to our hero.
We will miss him for another two weeks.

Alhamdullilah. Ayah Nuha dah pun selamat landing di Madinah. Insyallah hari ni akan sampai Mekah untuk tunaikan umrah. Ini kali, rezeki ayah Nuha jadi tetamu Allah. Hopefully lepas ni rezeki mama la pulak :) Semoga semua urusan ayah Nuha dipermudahkan Allah. Amin.


Ayah, don’t worry about us here. We will be just fine. Hiks ;D (Senyum ada makna naaaa)

Eczema – Foods to Avoid

For eczemas, there are plenty type of foods that can lead the rashes become worst. Istilah bahasa, Pemangkin. Bila makan saja, ruam jadi merah menyala, gatal merenyam satu badan. As a parent, it’s a heartbreak situation for us when your love one is in uncomfortable condition like this. Hati manyak sedih ma =(

Since Nuha still breastfeed, so I pun kena berpantang makan jugak. Sometimes, I terbabas & langgar pantang. Heeee… sorry Nuha. Nanti ayah babab mama tu. Orang dah cakap jangan, tapi dia dogil. Hehehe.

Based on my case study, I categorise the foods into 3level, severe, moderate & mild.

Severe – most worst impact, ruam merah menyala, gatal yang amat. If I take the food, confirm Nuha menggaru non stop. Kesian dia.
Moderate – ruam pink kaler, gatal sikit-sikit
Mild – almost takde ruam, gatal main-main je...heheee

Selama I buat experiment ni Nuha la bahan ujikajinya. Ngehehe ^.^ If I’m doing a thesis, title of the case study will be something like this – Tahap kesan pengambilan makanan alergik terhadap bayi Eczema. Excuse me of verangan jadi Paediatrician tak bertauliah di sini. hehehe =p

Ok. Here goes the list:

1. Dairy Products eg:- Milk, Chocolate, Butter, Cookies, Yogurt – Severe.
2. Meat – Severe
3. Seafood (All kind of seafood) – Severe.
4. Ikan Bilis / Ikan yang boleh menyebabkan gatal eg:- Ikan kembung – Severe
5. Peanut (Kacang Tanah) - Severe
6. Egg – Moderate, play safe – telur ayam kampong, insyallah no harm effect
7. Nuts & Beans eg:- Almond, Hazelnut, Green Pea – Moderate
8. Chicken – Moderate – again, choose ayam organic or ayam kampong.
9. Cabbage - Moderate
10. Soy – Mild
11. Wheat – Mild
12. Sweet Corn – Mild
13. Tomato – Mild
14. Onion – Mild
15. Spices – Mild
16. Fruits (Buah yang ada bulu eg:- Kiwi) – Mild

If there any foods I miss out here please let me know mommies… Kot-kot la ada benda yang selama ni I belasah je makan, rupanya trigger food for eczemas… oh..Noooooo >0

Kata case study… so kena la ada gambaq kan. Haa, ni dia.

Severe case


Moderate case


Mild case

Disclaimer: I’m not a cruel mother who wants her baby suffer. I only try these foods once. Like this month I try, the result tak ok, then 2months later I give another try. The reason I did it? I want to know either Nuha still allergic to that food or not. I didn’t introduce Nuha direct with the food. Normally I myself eat the food & the result will show 12hours after consuming the food (thru breastmilk). Sekian, terima kasih =)

Sayonara…. We’re going to move soon

Yup, it’s true. Insyallah, we will move to Johor Bahru in early April. Syahrul is already starting working there since last month. For a time being, Nuha & I stay with my parent. We are now weekend family.

For those who are in the same boat will know how it feels when your other half is far away from you. It’s a heart & bone tortured! Hehehe. Lebey lebey pulak. Over =p Yalah… dah dok jauh ni mesti la rindu. Tambah pulak ada anak. Lagi la rindu serindu rindunya. Ececeh >-<

We have to move out from Putrajaya. Seriously, I feel really sad to move from this house. It’s our home sweet home since we got married. Walaupun kuarters ini bukan ana yang punya, tapi ana rasa sudah la selesa dan banyak suka sama ini rumah la. Hehehe. Rasa nak beli rumah ni je tau ;)

Pejam celik, 3years was gone leaving us behind. There were uncountable bitter & sweet memories we ‘create’ here. Ngehehe… Oh yeah…of course the best things & memorable moment is where Nuha was born here =) Love it.

Officially, now I’m jobless. I sent my proposal of becoming full time housewife to my husband, but he rejected it bulat-bulat…sigh…=( Ok abang. Fine. I know why. High maintenance of everythings (Nuha & I la tu)…and hutang keliling pinggang. Hahaha. How I wish had a money tree so I can pick the leaves, settle the hutang & duduk diam-diam kat rumah jaga anak. Hehehe (of course my husband didn’t believe me on this. Heeee)…Got to go. Nak termenung sat lagu Nuha ni…


Dok pikiaq banyak benda cheq nak kena settle…Alahai ;p

3rd Wedding Anniversary

Alhamdullilah. On January 23rd, genaplah 3tahun kami kahwen. 1st anniversary berdua. 2nd anniversary we were two and a half (campur Nuha dalam perut…hehehe). 3rd anniversary dah bertiga. Thank you Allah for your blessing & the happiness gifted to us.



We went to KL Tower on that day. Konon feeling nak celebrate wed anniversary on top of the sky. Hahaha ;p Sampai sana, punyalah ramai orang! Berderet orang beratur nak beli tiket. Q beli tiket setengah jam, pusing kat atas 15minit je. Platform view tuh crowded with people. Alahai, fenin den. Nuha pulak mengantuk, so sekejap je dia tahan, lepas tuh start merengek.


KLCC view from top

Basic ticket RM30 for adult, RM20 for children. Baby FOC. Now dah ada package la bagai kat KL Tower. Basic ticket, include KL Tower viewing + 1 of the extras pakej. Ada animal safari, F1 stimulation & Poney ride. Kami pilih Poney ride sebab best sikit dapat naik kuda. Hehe. Overall, biasa-biasa je gi KL Tower. Tengok KL dari atas. Tu je. Tiket mahal kan. 15years dulu I think baru RM15 kalau tak silap. Now the ticket price is double than before. Kalau tak ramai orang maybe best. Boleh camwhore. Ngehehe ;p

Wordless Wednesday : Hello 2012

Apple of my eyes ;)

Dealing with Eczema

At 5months and a half, Nuha was diagnosing with eczema. Mulanya I notice kulit Nuha a bit dry at certain part especially part pelipat tangan, kaki. I tot it just normal dry skin, sebab my husband had a dry skin type too. So I just apply baby lotion on Nuha’s skin. But, it doesn’t show any progress.

After raya, balik dari kampong, Nuha got a little tiny rashes at her certain body parts. I tot it was heat rash sebab masa tu dok beraya sana sini, cuaca panas, Nuha pun asyik berpeluh. Then, I lumur her whole body with bedak sejuk & the rashes disappear.

A month later, Nuha got rashes on her right cheek. This time I tot it was ruam susu. My mum said, it’s normal for bf baby got ruam susu. Again I sapu bedak sejuk and the rashes disappear. A few weeks later, the rashes on her cheek suddenly jadi banyak. I tried a few petua traditional to cure it like tepung ubi, tepung jagung but it doesn’t works.

So this time, we decided to seek a doctor for an advice & medicine. Doctor said Nuha got mild eczema (masa tu tak teruk lagi) & she gave 2medicine, Cetaphil moisturiser & H-Cort cream. But I sapu ubat tu main2. Kadang sapu kadang tak bcoz I do not prefer to apply steroid on my baby. Maybe because of that the rashes became worst. Then, kami jumpa paediatrician pulak pasal nak kepastian about this disease. Paed said it is eczema too. Confirm la sudah. Huhuhu ;(

One day, as usual I gave Nuha ate bubur nasi + daging. Suddenly ruam kat muka Nuha became so horrible. Macam udang bakar. Huhuhu… Pity my little baby. Mama & ayah buntu. Mama pun nangis sebab risau & kesian tengok Nuha tergaru-garu. Sure ruam tu merenyam & gatal.

Starting next day, I stop gave Nuha eat meat, fish & whatever food that might cause the growth of eczema. I pun have to pantang makan jugak bcoz Nuha still breastfeed (kurus la mama..hahaha ;p) For a time being, Nuha & me jadi vegetarian (adakah saya akan sukses tahan nafsu makan???) I think when she reaches 9months, barulah I slowly introduce meat, fish & chicken to her. Eggs definitely gonna be her forbidden food.

Hopefully, Nuha will recover from eczema soon. Lagi cepat lagi bagus. Lega hati ayah & mama. Husband & I still try & error apa2 saja petua to cure eczema Nuha. Hanie, thanks a lot sebab sudi share some tips ya.

If anyone had an experience dealing with eczema babies, meh la share your tips ye ;)

Cameron Highlands

Yeah… at last, dapat jugak kami holiday after a year busy with life, pregnant-deliver-confinement-work-take care baby and the list goes on. Hehehe. This time around, holiday with my in law family. Cukup corum & cukup seronok.

And this is Nuha’s first holiday. Mama & ayah Nuha yang nampaknya lebih excited ye. Nuha – layan ajelah ;p Since it was school holiday, everywhere in Cameron was packed with tourists. Jalan pun jammed gile macam kat KL.

Day 1 – arrive there around 4pm. Rest & relax the whole night.





Day 2 – reach BOH Tea Centre Sungei Palas early morning. It was a breath-taking moment ever. Masyallah. The hill is just like a paint art. Surely I’ll remember the beautiful scenery & the superb fresh air.



Breakfast at BOH café – dalam muvi Ombak Rindu ada scene kat sini. Hehe. It’s a perfect place for romantic tea time. Tapi kalau dah ramai orang, tak ler romantic pun ;p Visit BOH factory, tengok tea making process. Walk down the tea farm hill & carry my 6kg baby. It feels like 9months pregnancy. Hahaha. Our family portrait – my most favourite picture.



Us, having a tea time at Strawberry Moment. Love the desert so much.



Disebabkan cuaca sejuk bangat, tak merasa nak try strawberry ice cream. Pasar Brinchang, sempat tengok gitu-gitu je, tak dan nak shopping, hujan lebat.



Day 3 – memborong sayur kat Kea Farm. Rambang mata tengok sayur segar bugar. Fresh dari ladang.



On da way balik, singgah Strawberry Farm. Strawberry pun sold out musim cuti sekolah ni. Takde chance pun nak petik strawberry. Drop by at Bharat Tea Plantation. Balik KL.

Definitely we’ll come here again next time. Nak qada’ tempat yang kami tak sempat singgah. Hehehe ;)

Nota kaki : If you notice Nuha’s cheek pinkish, its because of eczema. I’ll story about that in next entry.
