At last!

At last, i managed to find some time to change my blog template. though it wasnt that difficult since i used the ready-made template from blogger. a bit malas..later i hv to find time to create my own - which i doubt i hv :)
Though this template is so simple and requires less time, i like the look of the new fresh blue and green combination. hope u guys love it too!

The Black Canyon Coffee- 20th February 2011

This restaurant, located at AEON Jusco Bukit Tinggi Shopping Center, has been visited once by my parents before i was born. However, at that time they only had the coffee, not the entry. This time around, with me present, of course they have to try the entry. Surprised by the variety of the menu, from western up to thai cuisine, steak to tomyam, they were confused with what to order..

mama never missed to try any steak offered

Abah ordered chicken wings as appetizer

this creamy chicken soup came as complimentary with any ordered steak

and this is me, sleeping, way from home til reach this restaurant (yeah, i did give alone time for my parents to enjoy their food!)

this is abah's ordered. udon tom yam with a lot of big prawn inside. very very superb dish!

i think this is Jamaican ice coffee for abah



with a slogan a drink from paradise, available on earth, the cappucino was indeed one of the best ;) served with jasmine tea and alphabet cookies - mama's

 With all the foods that we've enjoyed this month, i can conclude that : i'm looking forward for another month of eating session (hint to abah!)

me, showing my 3 teeth present

this is me, at the immigration, waiting for my passport. oh btw, i'm going to tag along with my parents to Jakarta end of March! I'll share the story of my passport-sized picture taking session in next entry.

Till then!

A Breastfeeding Class

Last Thursday i brought along my husband to join a talk on "Persediaan Menyusu semasa mengandung" held at Sarakids. It was surprising to learn many things that i've never know/heard before. Some of the things that surprised me are :

1. Susu alternative yang paling hampir dgn susu ibu ialah.. susu gorilla! what a surprise!!
2. Skin to skin contact can comfort a baby after this, my husband has to go shirtless inside the labor room ;)
3. Crawling of a newborn : the newborn baby can crawl towards breast for milk right after he/she was born. Subhanallah. Kuasa Allah.
4. A well behaved baby is a baby who gets to drink their mother's milk asap, the one who gets the warmth from her parents as early as they could.
5. That we could request from the hospital a list of demand especially when related to breastfeeding our baby.

A lot for me to list down, actually. It is a great opportunity for us to be in the class. especially Puan Farah, the owner of Sarakids, gave to us for free since there was a shooting for Safiyya program. Lucky us!However, i felt terrible that we got to go earlier because my husband has to go to Proton Edar for document submission. If we were able to stay, we might get more info from the group session that was schedule after lunch time, i believe. how i wish that my husband could join the fathers' support group since he never been in any previously. He was also surprised to learn that babies who are teething should be able to be breastfed without hurting their mom.Since i've been to the class, a lot of questions raised upon inside my mind. Later on i want to meet again the sweet and softspoken Puan Farah. sure will do!
Now that I have the motivation, my spirits are pumped up! InsyaAllah, my impian for fully breastfeed my 2nd baby will become reality. and a thing that Farah suggested to me is to try tandem nursing with Lissa and her adik. amiiinnn...

p/s: a special thanks to Mommy Nadia for her info to join this class. but sadly she couldnt attend since Adam wasnt feeling well that day.. (oh btw, Nadia, i loooveee this entry of yours - tak sempat comment jeik..hehe)

She suddenly showed up in front of my apt with a cake! a big thank you to both of u.. i didnt have the heart to celebrate since it was my last twenties. but anyway, thank you :)

Event No 3 : Nadila's daughter's 3rd birthday & son's 2nd birthday
A two-in-one birthday party! i like!!
She was one of my roommates back in Kuala Pilah Matrix. I managed to stay for almost 1 semester before i accepted JPA's offer to US. And the memory with her were...how to say..  A LOT! Her daughter's actually was born on the same date as mine.. and now she's expecting the third one. Lissa was fully asleep the whole event. she missed the cake cutting ceremony but managed to get one bag full of goodies. Thank to Dila, who gave us so many candies and chocolate, and the special things were the toothpaste and the toothbrush!!
