...49 days

 ... السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته 

First thing first, salam Maal Hijrah 1436 to my fellow Muslim readers. It was a long and tiring but fun weekend I must say. Attended gatherings for both side of the family in one day then having myself feeling engorged by the end of the day, back and forth trips Tutong-KB just because careless ol me ketinggalan appointment cards and yes- Little Miss S is officially trained to be bottle fed (while mommy is away) and good thing it went on with a breeze though at times she went all fussy but yeah- it was successful and she's still, I am grateful to say, bf-ing.

Today Little Miss S is 49 days old, which means we're 9 days off confinement period *Alhamdulillah* and the challenge now is to have adequate supply of expressed breast milk (EBM) for when I get back to work (which will be end of this year) and study (insyaAllah next year). I have a month plus to do this, read tons of storage guidelines on google but I believe this picture really helps me to remember! Semoga dipermudahkan *Amin ya Rabb*
Being on leave, I have set up quite a few plans for the family for the next two month. InsyaAllah, hopefully menjadi lah this time around, last year sudah inda. Guilty as charged, did some online shopping yet again This time from Zalora *lol* and I'm pretty happy with the items especially knowing that I can get a 25% discount with BIBD25 promo code! Me likey!! Ended up buying banyak barang from sana... *sigh* the thing us women do during confinement period... kan nya my hubby 'Asal happy...' 

Oopsie.. Little Miss S needs me!
Until next time... xoxo~

... Little Miss S is 1 month~

...السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Alhamdulillah, pejam celik pejam celik.. tau2 Little Miss S is already one month old today. Post-natal treatment has been a breeze, yet again Babu reminded me to take exra care of myself especially my inner health and give some time for my body to recuperate fully before we can start planning for a 3rd one. 'Biar banar banar pulih dalaman mu lai.. jgn dulu kan jogging / zumba apa, begagar peranakkan karang.. biar ya tersusun rapi semula didalam atu. Ani lapas berurut bawa pakai bengkung, pakai minyak panas. Kalau kan exercise atu yg pelahan2 saja~ walking, squatting apa atu ok...' Now, I used to not really take this seriously but as what we always hear 'pengalaman mengajar erti kehidupan' and in this case, don't want previous cases to repeat itself yet again. So, any pantang larang atu baik tah dituruti if you believe the logic behind it.

The one month journey has been a rollercoaster ride as the experience is rather different than Little Mr. I. This time both hubs and I took the courage to shave our baby's hair ourselves... well- no.1 sajalah, & her aqiqah too was carried out di kg saja. Next is to 'sunat' Little Miss S on the 40th day. Having both a toddler and a baby, I must say that it  is abit challenging for a first timer like myself. My boy with his curiousity and at times 'disturbing' the little sister when she's in deep sleep, myself being sleep deprived and still getting the hang of Little Miss S sleeping schedule. But Alhamdulillah, nothing that both hubby and I can't handle.

Little Mr. I has been a very good brother but we have to watch him closely as he sometimes can show his love to Little Miss S in a very 'uncontrolled' way. Believe me, there are times when he really made his little sister cried out loud! But other than that, when it comes to rocking Little Miss S to sleep with zikrullah, Little Mr. I will never fail to repititively recite them with us. *allsmiles* He enjoys bathing & nappy changing times for Little Miss S too, and when it comes to bed time, he will still wait for dearest me to tuck him in.. *aww,Ilovemybabies!*

I have also reached my 1st target on the bf-ing journey! *yay* 1 whole month... :) :) :) Next target is to stock EBMs and train Miss S to feed using bottle. Not expecting to excessively stock up, but praying that it is sufficient for her. Al-maklum, work can be stressful and sometimes lansung tak balik rumah for lunch! So yes, continue bf-ing and stocking up EBMs this 2nd month of ML and for the 3rd month, train baby with bottle. InsyaAllah, usaha and tawakal + positive thinking...

Until my next entry..

...السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

So I've been thinking of rewarding myself with a shopping treat (apart from barang2 for my babies ..that is)  SO many things arah my wishlist that I myself not sure which one to start. 

This year langsung I haven't bought anything for meself... reason being, nada mood, none yang caught my attention and also pasal last year banyak bali barang di Singapore dah~ And yet, there is still one particular thing that I have not buy even during our holiday last Dec... a handbag! So far I have 2 totes, 2 satchels (fabric and leather) and 2 clutches.. masih inda cukup? Well..~ my totes kan worn out sudah.. so I need a new everyday handbag. *batslashestohubbyandIgotmyselfanod!* yippee!! So, I placed my order and oooooooooo I can't wait for it to arrive!! 

Oh yes, masa preggy haritu pun I splurged myself into buying makeups! *lol* ALASAN : semua sudah expire so I needed a new ones! And to tell you all the truth, wearing them is addictive!! And looove the fact that I can do a very au naturale makeup for work everyday. :) :) Again, hubby loves it pasal it's not too obvious... so I've got another thumbs up for this one :D 
Loooooooveee the colours!! It can be worn for everyday and night makeup plus functions ....

It's light and not oily on my face :)


I planned to post reviews but.. I think the captions for each pic is already enough no? With my usual Silkygurl PoreDiminishing Primer, Urban Decay Eye Primer, L'Oreal Compact Powder, Nyx Brow Kit, Maybelline Mascara, Mrs. Bunny Sigma Brush Kit aaaaannnnnnd YouTube... I have finally rekindled my long lost skill of makeup application. Hehehe... I am a happy bunny indeed! 

Will post a pic of my masterpiece soon yeah? Hehehe being on ML has given me so much time playing with my makeup..IF i'm not zZzz that is *lol*

xoxo~
