Is it weird to wear baby sling? :o

Finally my quest to find my baju raya ended today. I love wearing dark colored clothes, the darker, the better. :) However this year, I want to make few exception as this year. We've decided to have a theme color.. yeah.. I know, it's lame.. but that's how we roll from now on! lol!

After several day of relentless pursue over the baju kurung, finally I stumbled upon a very nice baju kurung and most importantly, it's within my budget! yay! but sadly, it's not the end of the journey, actually we just warming up.. We have to get baju melayu for the daddy and son! Keep fingers crossed!

Now, where was I.. Oh yeah, actually I wanted to talk about baby sling that I wore carrying Zara. As I walked around town with it, I saw eyes keep on staring at me trying to figuring out what's in the "sack"?! yes, a sales girl actually taught it's a bag.. I must say it's weird to hear such comments.. Some of them even approach me and telling me that it's not good for the baby.. Hurmm.. I personally think that it's very convenient and comfortable for the baby! She slept the whole day without a sound when she's in the sling. I love using it and most importantly, she loves it and I'm going to stick with it! Stare all you want people, it's going to be my fashion statement! Hahahahaha! :)

This is how it looks.. too lazy to get up and take a picture of myself.. Definitely not at this hour! haha!

Astro B.yond - PVR family commercial

Zhafran is obsessing over PVR family commercial aired in Astro. He keeps on "clicking" the the "button" on the tv. One day while he's taking his nap, the commercial popped out. The next I knew he was already in front of the tv, trying to click on it. It was a joy at first to watch but once i saw his sticky fingers on the tv, it's not a pretty sight anymore! haha!

I wish I knew the "family" behind the "buttons". My son would really love seeing them in real life. Ohh.. I hope he'll not try to "click" on them. Things are going to get ugly! lol! :)

In this scene, the mom and dad were accidentally bumped into each other which is real fun to see.. It catches my attention to watch the whole commercial. They look so cute and funny!

This is my son's favorite scene. By now, he's already in front of the tv and trying to click on the "play" button. Most probably because that the only "button" is within his reach! :)

*Gosh.. he's now trying to click on the images while I'm posting this. ;) Gotta run..

The baby has arrived! :)

I'm so happy to announce that Zara Suffiya is here. She was born on the 17th of June 2010 weighing 2.89 kg at Sime Darby Medical Center (SDMC). It was a quick delivery and I thank God for that. She's healthy and so far a very quiet one too.. :)

I was 2.5cm dilated on June 10th. I didn't feel any contraction in regards to it. Dr Siti gave me an option to induce but I wanted to try to have as normal delivery as possible so we stick to our plan and wait. Since I told her that I have to go to my cousin's wedding on the coming weekend, she advised not lift heavy things and just relax. It was really hard to stay still if you have a year old boy running in heavy crowds. :)

I went to the next week check up which is on June 17th, she checked and confirmed I was dilating 4cm and I still didn't feel the contraction. She told me that it's going to be a quick delivery and she estimated within 3-4 hours. I was skeptical about it due to long hours delivery with Zhafran. They gave me an I.V drip to induce the baby and I was dilating to 8cm in no time. After a good 40 minutes in unimaginable pain, Zara came into the world with her sweetest cry. The doctor even allowed my hubby to cut the umbilical cord! :)

It was very quick pregnancy and delivery for me since I only knew about the pregnancy on my 5th month. I felt slight movement in my belly. At that time, I figured, maybe I'm pregnant or something else is going on. Given my track record, it's best to go straight to gynae - if I'm pregnant at least I know the correct timing. While waiting for urine test, I climbed up the bed for scanning. Within seconds, the doctor asked me whether I wanted to know the gender of the baby. I was shocked and knew it must be on my 5th month! It's normal for me not getting period regularly and I don't experience any pregnancy sickness plus the belly only shown at the end of 6th month pregnancy. Everyone in the office was shocked! Shortly after that, I gave birth and now on maternity leave. :)

I am an active person. I wish I could slow down a bit during my pregnancy. I even did wall climbing on my 4th month of pregnancy. If only I knew bout it sooner.. After all being said, Zara is a very healthy and beautiful girl and I thank God for that. :) Alhamdulillah.

Zhafran can finally walk!

Zhafran already manage to walk a step or two but never across the hallway. I'm so proud to see it. He's now 1 year and 2 months, maybe quite late than others. Oh well.. who cares?

Finally bought a sewing machine but from a fraud! Blergh!

My new found 'hobbie' -sewing- is a far fetch idea than what I had in mind when I was growing up. I hated the idea of sewing as I used to see it as tedious and time consuming work. I came a long way to realise that it's a fun thing to do and the satisfaction when you get seeing your finish garments. I've been wanting to own a sewing machine for a couple of months now and thinking that I'd borrow my mom's machine. I shared the idea with my hubby and he happily support my new found 'interest'.

We went on a quick survey last week and fell in love with a sewing machine Brother NV900 - a sewing + embroidery machine. He was gladly offered me the machine but it cost a bomb if you buy inclusive of the software. At first the owner quote me RM8500 which is rediculous! Then, he narrow it down until RM5000. I feel fishy about the offer but my hubby went along and place the deal.

They promised me to send over the machine on Tuesday at 6pm. I like to be punctual so i called them up at 5:45pm, just to check if they were on their way. Sadly the owner give excuses that it was a busy day for them. Again, I feel cheated. at least he should have called and let his customer knows bout it. I insisted that it should be delivered by the same day and I don't care of the hour. He promised me that he'll be here at 8pm but end up waited a good 1/2 an hour for them to arrive.

The staff showed me how to operate the machine and I am impressed of the machine capabilities. Well the machine alone cost me RM3800. I am happy with the product. Back to the seller, the staff finally showed me the "software". Well, it is original but it's registered to the seller. Not me. It sort of I paid RM1.2K for a loan software. If I wanted to get a pirated copy, might as well I download the software from the net. I was under impression that he had a variety of patterns in the software but sadly I could've found more in the net. I feel cheated by the seller. Payment has been made and no turning back for me.

PLEASE DON'T BUY SOFTWARE FROM LSN. WHAT EVER THEY SAY - ONLY GO FOR THE SEWING MACHINE. BUY THE SOFTWARE ON THE NET. IT'S CHEAPER. SERIOUSLY. IT IS!
