Alhamdulillah..

Umar's birthday party last Saturday went well. We were very happy even though penat tu hanya Tuhan aje yang tau :D Plus, hari tu jugak la aku tengok Umar bergerak dengan bebasnya sampai comot!

Will update on the party soon..

My baby now..

Well, what can I say? He's getting taller, smarter, cuter every single day! Sejak dah pandai cakap ni kan, alahai.. Kena la layan dia berborak all the time. There was 1 day when Ben and him picked me up from the LRT station, kebetulan ada train tengah lalu. Suddenly he said to me, "Ma, Umar nak naik twain." Then aku tanya la dia balik, "Umar nak naik train pergi mana?" 

"Nak lek ampong jumpa Nyang.." (Sambil merenung jauh ke luar tingkap. Haha! Rindu Onyang dia la tu..) Dia ingat naik LRT boleh sampai ke Tampin agaknya..

Meet my Jewel :)

Oh, no!

Flu and sore throat, oh please.. Please go away.. I don't want you now!

Less than a week!

So Umar's birthday party will be on this coming Saturday. Ada banyak jugak la benda tak settle lagi ni. In terms of decoration, tu memang Ben punya bidang kuasa. Aku ikut aje :D Food, drinks and goodies, I think on Friday baru siapkan semua kot..

Will update more on the progress soon!

Birthday cake hunting

Since my friend is not available on the 6th of October, I have to find other options kat mana la aku boleh tempah cake for Umar for his party nanti.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to share :)

Thank you!

August babies

Mungkin ada yang dah tau that Umar's and my birthday fall on the same month :) Dah sebulan berlalu, baru la I got the chance to update a little bit on our birthday celebration. Tak celebrate besar-besaran pun sebab during bulan puasa kan..

Had a simple ceremony during Iftar at Istana Bambu with close friends. Luckily the food was quite OK. Aku kan ada issue dengan Istana Bambu before. Haha!

So terubat la sikit hati aku malam tu..

A surprise from my colleagues :)

Abah baca doa selamat sikit sempena birthday Umar on the 13th itself.

We bought an ice-cream cake from Baskin Robbins,

dok tunjuk aje apa yang ada on the display.

 And some balloons from a party shop in Wangsa Walk Mall..

Jadi la :D Memang seronok budak-budak tu semua dapat potong cake and main belon :D

Oh, and 1 more thing. We are going to make a party for Umar on Saturday, 6th of October. Soccer party this time :) To those yang dah dapat invitation, hope to see you there!

Congratulations, Shila Amzah!

 Enjoy the video :)

Umar is 2!

Happy birthday, my baby.. Mama and Abah love you so much!

This is getting serious..

Ewah tajuk.. Haha! Takde la.. Ni betul ni.. I think that I gained more weight rather than losing weight tau this Ramadhan. Have to take it easy on rice la Liza oi!!

Macam mana nak pakai baju raya glamor kalau macam ni? Haih! OK bye.. Saya nak pergi kuruskan badan. Till then..

Do you think that they're still together?

Monkeys!

Location: Taman TAR, Ampang.

One thing that I realized about Umar is, he loves animals! Especially the real ones. Almost everyday dok mintak nak pergi "Bid Park". Bukan Bird Park ye, tapi Bid Park. Haha! Then mintak nak pergi Zoo. Nak tengok gajah, "giwaff", ikan, katanya.. Tiap-tiap minggu kalau asyik ajak pergi tempat yang sama aje, aku pun boleh muntah dibuatnya. Sebagai ganti, layan la dia mengekek-ngekek gelak tengok fridge magnet yang ada gambar binatang which we bought purposely from Zoo Negara, Bird Park KL and Jurong Bird Park.. Or layan dia tengok Animal Planet :D

I. Love. Instagram.

Current favorite activity: Take a picture and upload it via Instagram :D

As per today, I already have 21 photos inside my account. Instagram is so addictive OK and I love all the features and editing apps. Whenever I had the chance to look at other people's photos, I always get jealous. Haha! Some of them can take good pictures and I'm amazed!

31..

Alhamdulillah :)

Hello, August!

Frankly speaking I'm always looking forward for August to come :D Because my birthday is in August, and Umar's birthday is in August as well.. But I don't think we're gonna celebrate it soon la since now it's fasting month kan. Maybe lepas Raya ke.. Tapi theme untuk birthday party Umar memang dah ada dah. Haha! Tinggal nak set the date aje..

Anyway.. I still haven't got the time to really sit down and update my blog properly. Biasa la, bila nak update aje mesti ada hal or I'm too tired. Nak kata I will try my best to update my blog frequently tu, tengok macam mana la ye? Tak berani nak janji :D

Till then.. Selamat berpuasa!

Mobbed - Wedding Proposal (Sweet!)

Currently reading: The Playdate

Sound designer Callie Roberts is a single mother. And she's come to rely

heavily on her best friend and neighbor, Suzy. Over the past few lonely

years, Suzy has been good to Callie and her rather frail daughter, Rae,

and she's welcomed them into her large, apparently happy family.

But Callie knows Suzy's life is not quite as perfect as it seems. It's time

she pulled away - and she needs to get back to work. So why does she keep

putting off telling Suzy? And who will care for Rae? In the anonymous city

street, Callie's increased sense of alienation leads her to try and befriend

a new resident, Debs. But she's odd - you certainly wouldn't trust her

with your child - especially if you knew anything about her past...

1 year, 11 months..

Oh what can I say? Time flies so fast and suddenly I realize that he's going to be 2 next month! *tears*

Bandung 2012

Oh Bandung, will definitely see you again :D Ewah! Rasa macam nak buat Bandung ni destinasi tahunan boleh? 

Masa we all pergi hari tu, we stayed at Progo Hotel. Not bad la tempat dia, quite a nice place to stay.. Kalau ada rezeki untuk pergi lagi lepas ni, maybe nak try kat hotel lain pulak :)

Antara tempat makan yang memang harus pergi bagi aku is Kampung Daun. Tempat cantik, siap ada air terjun semua. Nak makan selesa and the food pun OK..

Tentang shopping di Bandung, ada la we all pergi to a few factory outlets like Rumah Mode which is my favorite! I think kat situ lagi banyak pilihan and design pun banyak yang menarik. Aku memang tak larat nak masuk semua except Rumah Mode tu aje la. Most of the time aku tunggu dalam kereta aje sementara menunggu yang lain selesai shopping..

Oh by the way.. Kain ela adalah syorgaaaaa kalau nak beli kat sana. Haha! Murah gila kot. For example if you go to Euro Moda ke Binwani's ke kan, 2 meters of lace + 4 meters of lining you have to pay roughly how much, RM400 - RM500? Kadang-kadang cecah RM600 pun ada tengok pada jenis kain. Tapi kat sanaaaaaa - 4 meters of lace yang kilat barat yang cantik yang meletup + 4 meters of lining it only costs you RM150 - RM180!! Pengsan mak! Ke tauke kedai tu baik hati bagi discount menggila sebab kitorang ni ada muka pemborong ke tak tau la kan. Yang penting hati aku puas :D Haha!

So anyway.. Another main attraction in Bandung is Trans Studio. Oh we had so much fun I tell you. Si Umar siap masuk rumah hantu dengan kitorang. Jenis yang kena duduk dalam train yang bergerak slow nak mati yang jarak antara train depan dengan train belakang was like 100 kilometres away! It was scary I'm not kidding OK. Dah la satu train tu boleh muat 3 orang aje. Aku, Ben and Umar. Habis la!! Aku dengan Ben dah dok menyumpah dalam hati, apsal la kitorang gatal sangat nak naik rides tu. Memang confirm aku tutup muka la all the way. Si Umar aje relax tengok kiri tengok kanan sambil kunyah biskut as if nothing happen.. 

 

Gambar masa kat Bandung memang banyak, tapi aku dapat update mana yang termampu aje la ye?

  

At the airport masa nak balik..

Masa tu la baru dapat merasa makan bakso :D 

Aquaria KLCC

Our trip to Aquaria was a few months ago as far as I can remember - or was it early this year? Haha! Seriously.. Tak ingat! Tak kisah la ye :D

Anyway.. We went there together with 2 of our cousins merangkap Umar's bodyguards for the day - Nisa and Nadirah..

A little bit about the entrance fees for all MyKad/MyKid holders:

Adult - RM35

Child - RM25

Senior Citizen - RM25

Kids below 3 years old boleh masuk free. It opens daily from 11.00am - 8.00pm on weekdays, 10.30am - 8.00pm on weekends. Just to let you all know that the last entry to Aquaria is at 7.00pm..

Personally I think that the main attraction kat Aquaria tu is the Touch Pool. Umar memang suka la bila dapat pegang binatang ni..

Bamboo Shark!

So we had so much fun! Masa tu dalam hati asyik la berkata-kata, indahnya ciptaan Tuhan :) It was worth the price, memang tak rasa rugi pun kalau pergi..

My strength!

So anyway. By the time you guys read this entry, we are on the way to Tampin already to attend our cousin's wedding..

Will update more soon. Have a great Sunday!

I. Need. A. Camera.

My BB media card has gone kaput, and since my camera pun dah rosak long time ago, mood untuk blog sedikit sebanyak memang dah nak hilang dah ni.. Which is not good at all :(

So I need to buy a camera soon. Any suggestions on what brand/model should I buy? Just a simple/basic one will do. Thanks in advance!

Looking forward!

Before aku bercerita lebih panjang, aku tengok sejak kebelakangan ni entry yang aku buat semuanya via mobile. So boring OK! Kepuasan untuk upload and edit gambar tu dah takde. Gambar banyak ni nak tunjuk kat korang, tapi takde masa nak update..

Anyway.. InsyaAllah kalau takde apa, this weekend we are going away for a short trip. Bandung punya penat pun tak habis lagi, have to pack our bags for another trip :D Kan best if I'm paid to travel. Kerja asyik travel aje all over the world, then cukup bulan dapat gaji :D Oh berangannya! Bukan main lagi kau Liza..

OK let's get back to work. Selamat bekerja semua!

Happy Holiday!

Like I mentioned at Twitter last night, I'm supposed to have my urut session this morning with the lady yang urut aku masa aku dalam pantang dulu. But something came up so the session was cancel. Takpe la, maybe next time. Bukan apa, aku nak mengembalikan kesegaran badan aku ni balik kan after so long. Cewah! :D

Most probably we are going out for lunch la with my bestie. Then in the evening, my hair relaxing session tu pulak tengok keadaan macam mana. Kalau sempat I will go. Biasa la kalau dah jumpa kawan yang jarang-jarang jumpa ni, cerita dia lebih sikit :D

So that's all for today. Hope you guys have a great day ahead :)

Kalau aku kurus..

Hahahahaha!

On losing weight

Seriously I need to do something about it. Working pants dah ketat, and most of the shirts pun dah ala-ala muat dengan tak muat aje.. Apa nak buat ni?? :(

Sarung balik my PB? Thinking about the hassle that I have to go through every morning. Haha! Confirm tak sempat, kelam-kabut aku nanti.. Exercise? Oh yes, it reminds me to search for my exercise pants later since dah dapat kemudahan untuk pergi gym for free kan. Might as well gunakan sebaik mungkin :D

Watch my food intake? Definitely! Kena berpada-pada la lepas ni. Tahan sikit. Currently I've been reading a lot of articles on healthy eating and all that - on other people's experiences/success stories as well.. Very interesting :) I mean, mana yang boleh diikut tu aku ikut la..

So I will update from time to time on my progress. Something that I can share with you all :) And I'm looking forward for your tips/comments too!

Till then. Have a nice day!

Welcome, April!

That's Umar's photo, masa we all attend Dani's 3rd Birthday Party. The theme was Superhero and luckily Umar ada costume Spiderman dia tu dari party tahun lepas, so pakaikan aje la. Nasib baik muat.. Speaking of that, nanti aku update lagi some of the photos at Dani's party OK?

As usual la kan, aku punya entry makin lama makin tertunggak. Ambik gambar beria-ia tapi takde masa nak update blog. Sampai dah tak tau nak start kat mana dah, entry mana dulu entry mana kemudian. Haha!

Eh sekejap aje dah April kan? In 2 weeks time we're going to Bandung - I haven't been there before, so I don't know what to expect. Plan asal nak beli baju untuk anak aje :D And nak pergi Trans Studio. Oh itu harus pergi, and I'm getting excited already!

Till then. Have a nice day y'all!

Nak update jugak..

Latest photo of him, taken last weekend at lunch time.
Macam tu la dia every time we all keluar makan..
I will make sure that he will get his own plastic cup and straw :)
Rasa dah besar sangat la tu nak minum sendiri. Haha!

Eh hari tu aku beria-ia aje cakap kat Twitter that I'm gonna start updating my blog again only on 1st April. Tak boleh la.. Rasa macam tak lengkap aje hari aku sebenarnya. Mesti nak cerita kat sini walaupun sikit :)

Oh by the way.. I am so looking forward to our Bandung trip tak lama lagi. I've never been there so I don't know what to expect actually. Hope for the best aje la :D My friends yang pernah pergi, semua kata barang-barang kat sana murah-murah. How murah, I have no idea. To those yang dah jejak kaki kat Bandung tu, I would love to hear some feedback. Sharing is caring! ;)

Thursday already?!

I'm supposed to update few entries last night but didn't have the energy to do so. Entah kenapa semalam macam tak sedap badan, and perut pulak sakit..

Oh today is Thursday already which means weekend is approaching soon!! *goyang-goyang badan* Masa tu la nak spend time dengan anak puas-puas :D

By the way, this is something that I want to put it here . Personally I think that all Starbucks baristas at one of the outlets (lokasi dirahsiakan. Haha!) are the best baristas I've ever met in my whole life. By the time I walked in aje, they will screamed my regular drink at the top of their lungs. Haha! I find it so cute OK. Dulu lagi la, siap main teka-teka some more aku punya air apa but they got it wrong la masa tu. Sekarang tidak lagi ;)

Have a nice day!

Wordless Wednesday #20

Lesson learned

Few things happened that make me think..

1) Appreciate what you have. Rezeki tak datang bergolek so you have to work for it. Jangan sia-siakan peluang yang ada..

2) Before you do something, think of the consequences of your action.

3) Buat kerja dengan ikhlas, jangan asyik nak mengharapkan balasan aje.

4) If you hurt someone, be humble and apologize. You won't lose anything if you admit your mistake..

Have a nice day!

Jessie J is coming y'all!

Currently Ben tengah sibuk buat on ground promotion for the concert. For the last 2 days some of you mungkin ada yang terserempak dengan "Jessie J" at Bukit Bintang and Bangsar area ;) And to those lucky ones mesti dah dapat their free tickets already!

So sesiapa yang pergi to the concert this Friday, have fun!

Umar.. at 18 months

Well oh well.. When was the last time I make an entry on Umar ye? Rasa macam dah lama aje tak cerita tentang his progress. Seriously cepat betul dia dah besar :D Dulu dukung sebelah tangan aje. But now!! Even guna dua tangan pun belum tentu aku larat. That's why kerja dukung-mendukung ni semua aku pass terus kat abahnya..

Sekarang ni kitorang semua memang berhati-hati whenever we wanna say something, especially in front of him. Dia boleh ikut sebijik-sebijik tau tak. A few times jugak la terkena, memang serik aku dibuatnya. Hari tu tengah tengok cerita apa entah, he heard someone said bodoh and terus dia pun "Odohhhhh".. Hambek! Pengsan aku..

Dia dah kenal and boleh tunjuk where is mata, telinga, rambut, gigi, lidah, tangan, kaki and perut. Bunyi certain animals pun dia boleh buat - bila kita tanya dia macam mana bunyi ayam, he will say "Kok kok kok". Bunyi kucing he will say "Iyau". Bunyi kambing he will say "Bekkk". Bunyi monkey pulak, he will say "Aaaak aaaak" and when we ask him macam mana bunyi dog, maka "Ung ung ung" la dia :D

Oh, one more thing. Every time kita tanya dia jam pukul berapa sekarang, memang dia akan jawab "Nam nam enet" (Enam enam minit). Haha!

And he calls himself baby!! Pantang nampak my handphone, he will point at it sambil dok baby baby baby - Nak tengok video diri sendiri rupa-rupanya..

Banyak jugak la words yang dia dah boleh sebut - Mama, Abah, Onyang, Atuk, Opah, makan, minum, susu, akem (ice-cream), pokok, lampu, cicak, ayam, bak (bird), jam, akom (assalamualaikum), alam (walaikumsalam), kek, oti (roti), air, etc.. Basically apa benda yang orang cakap dia akan ikut la. So kena jaga-jaga di situ..

Suka menggigit. Dah banyak kali aku kena. On my butt -_-

Manja? Very. Lasak? Tok sah cakap. Siapa sangka, budak yang dulu masa keciknya sangat la pendiam boleh bertukar menjadi hyper sampai begitu sekali. One day kalau aku sempat ambik video dia tengah in action memang aku tunjuk kat korang semua..
