mari berplay-doh!

2009-05-15T18:55:00.008+08:00

dah lama nak cerita bab play doh project ni...sangat interesting.. tapi sebab kemalasan yang melanda ... menyebabkan ianya tergendala...

sebenarnya saja nak share project yang saya buat last semester dalam masters kelas saya... dalam one of the classes ada topic "Play doh Animation" so group saya telah memilih untuk detailkan idea ni for our final assignmnet untuk kelas tu...

So, sekarang saya nak share cara-cara nak buat dough sendiri.. takyah beli-beli...boleh buat sendiri untuk anak fuan-fuan!

Resipi homemade playdough (saya cilok di sini http://babyparenting.about.com/cs/activities/a/playdough.htm )

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

1 cup water

2 tablespoons oil

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

colorings

Mix flour, salt and oil, and slowly add the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until dough becomes stiff. Turn out onto wax paper and let cool. Knead the playdough with your hands until of proper consistency. Use as is, or divide into balls and add a few drops coloring ; green, red, and orange.

kena sentiasa kacau..dia macam a bit berketul-ketul

bahagikan ikut color

saya buat red,

green and

yellow.

dah siap!

ni apa yang saya buat dalam kelas....

yang ni final assignment...tapi ada yang guna "palstersin" ja pun....

ada laman web sekali...tapi jangan gelakla dgn stop motion animation group saya ni..amatur la katakan....

boleh gak tunjuk kat anak-anak!

What a life!

sorry again..Its been too long since my last post. Beside being too lazy to write, I also have many other things to focus than this humble blog! hehe.. (org lain sudah ke bulan dgn new layout.. rumahku jua yg tak bertukar2 wajah!!!)

Alhamdulillah , I am coping well with moderate appetite, facing less MS and becoming more active than the previous pregnancy; hoping that everything to be fine especially with work (next week , I will be involved with drama , ouch!!) and studies (less that a month before the final exam, argh!!!).

I have a lot to write , but too tired after working on the assignment that dues tomorrow..(tapi terlalu teringin nak update ) So, let me just put up some pictures to describe how I spent my day today.

I had such a very long working hour today - students registration, class and drama audition. Then I fetched Iman at her nursery. Since I had to get things done for my assignment , I had to meet my group members at UM, and Iman had to be dragged along since her abah had rugby practice today.

we got stuck in the traffic jam.. at this time Iwas hoping that both of us had wings to fly to UM in just few minutes. ..

the traffic was as usual...teribble!!

so Iman slept all the way...

we reached UM at 7.!!oo..gosh!!

This girl was busy clicking here and there, running and falling, jumping and screaming..arghh....camna nak buat kerja ni !!

she was excited and wanted me to pose beside the model.We left UM at about 10.

dek kerana kebuluran, I stopped at the KFC near UM and bought some food! Iman enjoyed her mashed potato and nuggets.

and I had my burger ...All licin!!

she slept with a full stomach ! sian anak mama..kena usung sampai lewat malam!

and we finally arrived at our home sweet home kepenatan !!

and now, im still typing..tp mata dah tak larat nak buka!!

note to Intan : thanks for the best mom award!I'll complete the tasks later, insyaAllah. yg lama pun tak buat2!!! Ya amppppppppuuuuuuuuunnn!!!

sorry...

2009-02-10T01:59:00.003+08:00

mengapa kau selalu datang menggangu....

2009-01-31T07:08:00.005+08:00

kehadiranmu
sering merisauka ku
menguasai seluruh urat sarafku
kedatanganmu
bersama mentari pagi dinihari...

kehadiranmu
sering membuat gundahku terusik
menyapa tatkala mentari melabuh sepi
tanpa ada belas simpati

kehadiranmu
apakah mampu ketangkisi
laungan hati menggesa jasadku
mengusirmu
secara diam secara terang

namun aku biarkan
kehadiranmu itu
kerana pasti sinar itu akan muncul
walaupun kau terus hadir
walaupun aku sering bertanya
mengapa kau selalu datang menggangu....

chewah!! berpuisi la konon..

hehhe...dah lama tak luangkan masa mengupdate rumah ini..dah kadang2 singgah untuk tgk update kawan-kawan , pergi rumah orang, baca tapi tak sempat nak komen (sbb do pikir nak enter password n reenter nombor n pkataan yg dia bg..huhu)saya jadi malas seketika... dahle keja macam belambak-lambak (mcm dia sorang je sibuk),dgn tenaga yang saya ada sekarang ni mmglah tak memadai... nanti bila saya dah regenerate apa yang patut saya buat la tag kawan2 yg dah panjang listnya... dan sambung cerita kat rumah ni...ada la tu..sat-sat lagi...

alahai...macamana nak kurus part 2

2009-01-05T21:19:00.005+08:00

im having having an intention to at least reduce weight by few kilos before my next birthday. I am now not obese but "lebih muatan" and because of that i am becoming more conscious on the food I take ( doesnt mean i do not consume those high calorie food... :( ) I always count the calories in food intake daily.. but only for the sake of giving great reminders to myself..huhu...

hence, with the help of some websites such as this and this let's see how much calories in food i took today!

morning

since i was the first day of work after a long holiday, i decided to have my breakfast at the canteen with colleagues. there were only few choices of food.. very few.. which were.. kuih muih..(which definitely tak masuk untuk tekakku waktu pepagi camni), nasi lemak and laksa johor alike..(the canteen worker calls it laksa selangor ...hmm??) after a while i chose to have that laksa since it looked so yummy .

And of course i took it with iced nescafe..ouch!!! (kononnya nak get alert sbb dah lama otak tak bekerja "berat" macam ni)

so for that breakfast the calories counted were :

Curry laksa - 1 bowl - 589 cal

1 mug of Nescafe - 98 cal

Total : 687cal (sudah!!)

lunch

sebab rasa bersalah makan laksa pepagi tu so, i only took half cup of rice with an ikan kembong masak asam pedas. I also ordered lemon juice with no ice.

the calculation was :

Rice - 1/2 cup - 100 cal

Ikan kembong - 85 cal

Lemon juice - 54 cal

Total : 239 cal

snack

when i got home at about 4.. while i was in front of the pc..mulut sebok juga mengunyah kerepek pisang. adala dalam 80gm kot..and a cup of milk.

kerepek - 5o cal

susu - i cup - 50 cal

Total : 100 cal

Dinner

I cook dinner as usual but for the other two persons in the housela.. bila teringin nak berdiet nasik cuma masak i small cup beras..tu pun tak habis..I took bread with one small piece of jenahak masak asam..and plain water

hasil darabannya :

roti - 78 cal

fish n the gravy - 140 cal

Total : 218 cal

So lets do some maths here

Breakfast : 687 cal

Lunch : 239 cal

Snack : 100 cal

Dinner : 218 cal

Total : 1235 (not bad!!)

Women should not consume less then 1200 generally..so mencapai targetla yesterday!!

plus with some workouts at nite..sehinggakan tertido keletihan lepas tu..LOL

macamana nak kurus..part 1

2008-12-28T21:43:00.014+08:00

adoi..i still have some hutangs to langsaikan tapi hati ini meronta nak buat entry lain dulu.. takplah.. pandu cermat jiwa selamat. Dah more than a month cuti and soon tak sampai two weeks sekolah dah nak buka..

ingat lagi plan yang nak buat masa awal2 cuti.. tapi semuanya on the surface saja.. bilik si kecik pun tak cat-cat lagi... itu hutang besar tu.. hari-hari tanya..adoiii...

apart from all the things to do.. satu yang mesti buat walaupun sekolah dah nak buka is to reduce weight.. cuti sekolah ni makan tak ingat punya.. setiap meal ngadap.. tapi dalam pada tu jenguk forum nak kuruskan badan tiap-tiap hari.. savekan tips yang baik.. workout, and diet yang sesuai.. few days back en suami bought a new weighing scale.. since the one yang ada memang dah bengong.. so sejak ada menda tu mmgla sangat ngeri bila tgk angka yang tertera..
dah nak buka sekolah ni baru nak mula rasa risau .. so baru nak mula joging la.. cut down calories la..tgk cd buat aerobic la.. paling geram semalam masa baru balik dari lunch , pening-pening so baring la kat sofa.. Bila Iman tgk dia cakap "mama ni asyik tido je.. tu perut mama boncit"..huhuuu.. apekah !!! macam la hari-hari itu je keja mama buat...

En suami memang sangat supportive bab-bab exercise ni.. selalu suruh google workout yang boleh buat.. tapi takat google ja la.. penuh dah desktop nih..
today masa petang .. masa nak pi joging.. en suami suruh bawak basikal dia.. suruh gi cuba-cuba.. walaupun dah berpuluh kali suruh naik.. so.. naiklah...ini kena paksa..

tapi si kecik pun sekarang aktiviti yang paling dia suka is membonceng abahnya naik basikal pegi taman.. abah terpaksa letak kiddy seat .. abah ngalahla.. takleh panjat2 bukit kat belakang tu dah..

so tadi.. mama round satu taman dalam 30 minutes la jugak.. alamak!! dah jatuh chenta ngan cycling lak plak.. ..seronok gak dapat makan angin sekali... balik rumah bagitau en suami " so lepas ni abah kenalah beli bicycle baru .. yang ni kasi mamalah ye!"

ni basikal yang saya cakap.. mulanya takada kiddy seat tu.. yang tu baru letak semalam...

yang ni pulak menda-menda workout yang ada kat rumah.. tali getah "bodoh" (that's what i call it) tu en suami bought with the weighing scale..nama dia gym in the pocket.. ada 99 activities leh buat ngan tali tu ikut manual dia..

ni takde kena mengena ngan tajuk.. tapi saja nak tunjuk..bought it a month ago.. murah sangat RM5.90.. ada playset..4 settings..siap ngan all the characters dalam Shrek The Third.

Setting 1

Setting 2

Setting 3

Setting 4

ni pulak buku yg baru beli kat MPH semalam.tak tahu kalu online ada disc. up to 40% huhu...yang bookmarks tu dah lama dah..saja nak tempek.. ada lagi few tp dah hilang separuh lagi ..pi mana ntah...satu rm1 ja!

asyik..

2008-12-24T17:58:00.005+08:00

sebab memang malas nak menulis dan membuang masa mengedit gambar itu ini.. blog terabai.. fp jangan katalah dah bersawang cicakman bagai.. sambil tu memang asyik melayan si ketet ni.. saya ingat lagi.. masa saya masih kecil , i was called mek ketet.. just because i was petite.. hehee..

recently iman has a new passion and it's drawing.. not only doodling.. she likes to draw and colour using water colour too. Both me and hubby are impressed to see the way she holds pencil and the sketch pad. at times she will ask her abah to draw some pictures of cat, house, car , tree but most of the time she will draw pictures on her own and illustrate them to us. Her passion in drawing shows when she is so obsessed with it..bangun pagi ja dah cari pen dan kertas nak lukis..

mr hubby, may be we could consider sending her to art or music class later!

another one!

pesanan penaja :ENTRY INI SESUAI DIBACA BERSAMA SEGELAS NESCAFE KAW!!!

My description of bieng a mother may not be similar to yours or other mothers' out there. Responsibilies and obligations will vary the descriptions and it is so subjective. For me, I am a mother of a sweet pea for the time being but at the workplace I am a mother of more that a hundred kids. Thus, a mother refers to anyone.

I was raised my grandma since I was a month old as my mom had to be apart from her family during her training. As far as I could remember, my brothers were taken cared by a nanny who lived near my house and grandma was keen of taking me with her. She died when I was 8 and the only person that I was closely attached to was my unmarried aunt who lived with grandma. The natural bond I had with both of them was more than enough for me to define them as mothers. When I was 10, my parents decided to take me with them as my mother had finished her training and she was lucky to be posted to the place she wanted and to be with her family. It was so difficult for me to adjust myself being in a 'new' family even though father made efforts by not separating me from them. At the end of the months he would take me to meet mother who came home every two weekends and my siblings.I had no objection but having to adapt my new life I made calls to my aunt everyday. Though I had only few years to stay with mother, I slowly became more affectionate to her before I stayed at hostel when I was in form four. When I got married and first became a mother, I tried to comprehend more and my descriptions of a mother deepened. Every mother has different situations and plays different roles. But it all varies widely. There may be obstacles, problems, joy and happiness along the way and you may think that I may only be boastful for sharing with you about raising a child who is only becoming 4 next year but the challenge I face expands what I think a mother means.

During my confinement, I was tested when Iman cried all night and it only resolved on the 34th day, and I finally believed what a houseman I met during the checkup told me "it happens to newborns during that period just to give an initial torture to the moms". So, anyone has the same nightmares? ;)

I have to admit that bringing up Iman is not that easy. It is not that I am not grateful for being blessed with the "gift".. I am and I really am. Yet, I am not complaining either. It is just that if in the future she happens to read this entry, I want her to know and feel how a mother sacrifices for her child. And after sometime, a mother is always a mother. You will be secured if you are with your mom. With no doubts, Iman is closer to me compared to en suami. I wasted money on stroller and buggy as she still clings to me when she is tired walking at the shopping malls.I am still sleepless when she is sick, and become sicker than her when I have to tolerate the state of being a freaking out mom and the thinking that her father can even snore!! Ouwhh!! bukan setakat tertido okay!!!

Until now, she still depends on me and thinking that the safest and the most secure place is to be next to mother, I can understand why she behaves such a way. Iman experiences disturbed sleep even until now. She was fully breastfed since her birth till she was nearly 3. Thank you the Almighty for that. She would wake up several times and I would go to rescue her till early morning when I had to get ready to school. She was finally forced to stopped having my BM when I was diagnosed with an abscess and the doctor gave a medicine to stop my BM production. She surrendered and i was relieved for a while, not because I could have sweet dreams but to be able to get a proper feeding with the support of the formula milk. Being a small eater like her, her weight gaining is pretty slow. I was happy at one time when she woke several times asking for milk . As long as she drinks well , lay the burden on me and I won't complain. At least she would have her stomach filled though she eats little food. But that did not last. She sometime refuses to drink milk at night now and beadtimes are still notoriously difficult ocassions for me and for her too . but not to en suami.hehehe..sorry abah!banyak dah termengata you malam ni!

The trials of broken nights she oftenly goes through worry me in much the same way as I am responsible for managing her feeding. When she is actively involves with her daily activities, surely she will be disturbed for few times. Imagine, she will cry with her eyes close for several times... "taknak yang tu..nak ikut..bukan..bukan!!" Aduhai anakku sayang. Sometime I am so angry especially when surviving to complete assignments or any JIT work! and sometime I laugh when hearing words she utters and at the same time bounce my eyes to whatever the father wis doing and let him catch me looking at him watching tv, sleeping or doing nothing than being a stoic statue!! :) alamak...ampun en suamiiiiii........

Apart from that I am bundled with worries about how she progresses and her upbringing. I believe every mom will want her child to receive the best and grow as a perfect person. A friend of mine who is an instant mother may also have the same feeling and I bet all moms do.
And being one, regardless the plights I face, I always hope to provide the best for my children and and guide them to be good muslims. When you are still a mother it is an endless tough job you commit but you will enjoy the moments. Just look at our mom. My mom will always entertain me the best she can whenever I go back to see her. I do not know whether I can be as strong person like her but I know that I can follow some.

And I hope one day I could take my mom to a spa ...while we are getting seaweed wraps, we would share our favorite memories of raising our own children. So friends, enjoy being a mom!!

Here is something to share :

Pool Party?

2008-12-03T14:51:00.008+08:00

KS invited us to have a simple breakfast by the pool side at her place last Monday...The mummies were all excited and planned to bake and cook itula inila . Yet, all turned up late with only breads and 'tapau' food! After the 'kejadian' we went to KS house and had our lunch there..KS baked Chicken Pot pies and they were yummy!! They children were happy. And Iman slept all the way back home.. penatla tu..

Thanks KS..Perhaps, we can do this again with other friends and kids..

ops! i did it again!!

2008-11-27T15:00:00.010+08:00

today, after finished my job, i decided to proceed to the nursery again to get the plants i wanted on Tuesday. I went straight to that particular one as i told myself "sudah-sudahla iza!" So after buying the plants and some bags of soil...dah.. terus! Sampai ja rumah, berkobar2...Using the strength to the max, i carried the plants out of the car! Gigih sungguh diriku!! I want the heliconias to cover the space behind the lily plants so that those from the roadside will not be able to see the inside of the house through the sliding door. So after this, its En Helmi's turn to plant them.Mak dah tak kuasa nak koreng lubang dalam-dalam..i also bought the menerong plants.. or Cyperus. Read more here . Kononnya that Cyperus yang nak diletakkan kat tempat heliconias tu.. tapi bila my friend kata macam beratuq menyanyi negaraku... terus tukar plan....ada lagi satu pokok yg dibeli.. tapi malas nak snap pic.. pokok yang orang letak kat bawah.. apa ntah nama dia... satu polybag cuma seringgit.. murahkan...

alkisahnya

2008-11-26T20:25:00.004+08:00

2 day trip

2008-11-23T17:51:00.007+08:00

the awesome scenery...

pics of the love ones...

being a housewife again!

2008-11-23T11:09:00.010+08:00

These are some pictures of our trip recetly. We went to JB to accompany en Helmi for a site meeting. Then Iman wanted to 'pasir-pasir' but there w nowhere in JB that we could find a place for that. Finally, her abah took us to a quite nice sandy beach in Malacca ; Pantai Puteri ti be exact. We slumbered at a resort there and came home the next day.

I did not write for quite some time. As i was busy with work and studies, I came by and read comments (kalau ade!) and went into others' to read their stories. But, i am with lesser work now since im enjoying both my school holidays and my semester break . Meanwhile, i'll be doing some boring job (as i mentioned earlier) until 4th Dec and I just knew that I have to attend a course at UM on the 1st. And being a housewife soon, I have all sorts of projects to be done in mind. Home improvement, self rejuvenating (hehhee), year end vacation, producing materials for DROP, going to UM for research topic and many more. I also hope to spend more time with the 'lil one. take her to pool, playground more often, 2 in 1 Ikea treat and lots of other things in the list. But after Aidil Adha , i might be leaving for sp for a week. Iman requests to be with Acha and Zarra and we plan to go to Langkawi ( hopefully this time jadi). And later, hope to have another one with mama's friends, aunty Mar, Jue, and Linda..maybe to Avilion PD.banyak nya acara nak jalan.. and not to forget, blogging! harap2 semuanya dapat dilaksanakan since mama is not going to touch any exam papers end of the year...yey! bye for now.. more pics on the way.. have to cook for lunch! bui bui..

the busy momma..

2008-11-09T11:07:00.006+08:00

i have been overloaded with heaps of things lately and there is another week to endure before the term ends.yerterday , as early as 8 a.m i was already at UM for the exams. then, at 2 i was suppossed to take Iman at the nersery, poor Iman, she had to go to 'school' as en Helmi was having a seminar. Since last year Iman was left home with her abah when i have evening classes during weekdays and weekend classes as well. Thank to en Helmi for being supportive and making no objection when i made a decision to go back to school. A friend of mind asked me the other day, why did I make a decision to continue studying? and another friend was being even more harsh by saying " buang masa je aku rasa"" Why are you furthering and yet your are a teacher , still" (freinds, this is to be addressed to that particular person only okay!) . I told my husband bout the sickening remark.. and I just kept quiet after that. I leave to others to make their own interpretations. It is just what i am doing and feel like doing. I may have reasons thet may not be others, but i hope I am coping well with it. My coursemates come from all sorts of background.Some even came from northern states, hundred miles away, sacrificing every weekend and own family just to be here.. and what surprised me is that they are bundled with many kids too! looking at their fatique faces, trying to catch up all the lectures, i am really amazed. they may not organize life efficiently and get things in order, may be not as perfect as other homemakers , but at least they are able to do multitasking.

So yesterday, Iman was already with her abah when i called, So i decided to stop at the overbridged R n R along my way home to have my lunch. I went straight to A&W kiosk for its rootbeer float and hotdog (aniq! when is our "Coney" time?) Before i went home , i was stopped by few kids on my way to the parking lot. These kids were selling calendars and other stuff, and they mentioned word "sedekah" to alarm others on buying. I stopped and asked them. "Ni dari mana?" they then introduced themselves from a prive islamic school. I was not shocked but could not tolerate with this activity at all. I came across some boys who were 8-11 years, selling cordials and many more in front of the hypermarket till late afternoon before they were picked up by their so alled "teachers" . and man, those kids were sent by their parents to study at a more decent place that the public schools.Yet, they have to persuade others to buy things and they called that their "aktiviti koko" i do not know how true is thatm They may be learning some human qualities or to value money, but what if these kids are your kids or brothers and sisters?

On top of that, these are some back dated picas i captured ... baru sempat upload!

i got back to SP last two days. my broadband was left untouched in my handbag. i am more excited to have long conversations with mum and also being a police pencen to interview my SIL on home affairs . Only after being texted by this makcik dc this evening , her message reminded me to my humble blog.. so..update la apa yang patut!!

this year i have chances to have iftar with the whole family for few days since we have a long break before raya. Not like last year, this is the best time for family gatherings. This year the joy is more as all the cucus are here to entertain ; including 'lil Zara. And all of us are taking the great opportunities to enjoy our mom's cooking and having all our favourite dishes cooked by the great chef.. hari -hari just name them... My dad requests a pre Raya photoshoot, maybe tommorow since DD and family are going to celebrate raya at Simpang Pulai this year..

acha , iman and zara

i have not yet been to the town ever since i got back to SP.. this year the traffic is said to be heavier than the previous years...to buy things i rather go to the nearby supermarket which takes me only 5 mins drive. Luckily all the preparation was done before coming back here. Tonite, we thought of giving a try to enter the town area..(near the clock tower) yet, we had to cancel due to the bad weather since morning. So mom cooked friend mee and we had a chat, (we even came out with political issues)

this evening after iftar, i managed to forgather some of my childhood friends.. the same faces turned up , but this year Shibrah joined us with her loyal husband and talkative son. En Helmi surrender bab join kaum perempuan bergather-gatheran... We had great time..going down memory lane and exchanging stories on lives and families.. i looked so chubby in the photo..it was the only one yang dapat diselamatkan... ( mar is still available..anyone's interested???)

i just realized that my Iman is still a baby.. just do not know when she could adjust herself to be independent without me ( i got to rush home after receiveing a call telling that she cried wanting me to cuddle her when she wanted to sleep) Her abah was noone to help me out with. i also noticed that she cannot let go things when 'lil Zara tried to get them from her... bila agaknya dia nak "beralah' ni ..though she always claims that she is already "kakak kecik"

i'll update more on our Raya celebration later ya!!

tayangan lagi...

2008-09-25T11:13:00.006+08:00

kali ini tayangan makanan lagi...mungkin lepas ni takde lagi entry tayang menayang juada berbuka..sebab mama dah bz mengemas..nak balik kampung...

yang ini buat semalam..cilok resepi dari Myresepi.net setelah tercabar melihat hasil tangkapan si Nita Almari Resepi. kesimpulannya.."Memang Berbaloi!!" (alamak macam motto Kamdar)

yang ni pulak kuih Kalakatar... tertelan air liur tengo Majalah 3..terus google resepi... saya bukan orang Banjar.. taktaulah nak kata sedap tak sedap..tak biasa makan sebelum ni ..tapi takla menghampakan.

Yang ni juadah lain..nasik ja yang goreng sendiri..selebihtu..guna khidmat pakar jari telunjuk dan makcik kantin sekolah...

Lagi dua hari nak sekolah...lagi tak sampai seminggu nak tinggalkan Ramadhan..sedih rasanya...tak tahulah tahun depan sempat jumpa lagi tak...
