Tag - My 1st Born
Doing this survey bcoz I got tagged by lovely Cik Yzma on facebook, but decided to post it here instead.
I am swamped with work right now, tp x ingat diri jugak nak wat tag. Well, it's kind, fun and quirky, plus Aisyah just turned 8 months on the dot so might as well do it to celebrate it :)
Here's my story ....

Here's my story ....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here you go mommies (or daddies! kenapa harus discriminate, kan?) - a different kind of survey for a change - it's all about your first (or only) born! Just copy and paste it in a new note for yourself! If I sent it to you, it means I want to hear your story.
1. WAS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY PLANNED?
Hmm... Aisyah was actually the product of my SECOND pregnancy. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, sadly. Let's not talk about that.
Anyway, in Aisyah's case, we were in a not trying, not preventing stage. I was ready to put all our baby plans on a hiatus because I was getting focused on getting on with my PhD (masa tu dah contact2 bakal SV kat several UK universities dah pon), but Allah has a huge a surprise in store. A pure blessing! Setinggi2 kesyukuran buat Mu ya Allah....
Wamakaruu Wamakara Allah wa Allahu khairul maakireen (3:54)
(We plan, and Allah plans, and Allah is above all planners)
Also, I like John Lennon's quote too:
'Life happens when you are busy making other plans'
Indeed.
2. WHAT was your 2nd choice name or your opposite gender name?
Hmmm.. we didn't want to know the sex of our baby, so no name was really planned. But we wanted the baby to have a first name and a middle name (2 nama). We'd agreed that the first name must start with letter 'A', and either the first or middle name must also be of a Nabi or an Islamic figure's name (not neccessarily starting with 'A', tho'), e.g. Aisyah, Maryam, Imran, Yusuf, etc. Plak kalo perempuan x nak bubuh Nur kat depan, nnt x dpt la pangkal A tuh. Confusing? Byk sungguh syarat nya. That's why Aisyah Nurzahirah didaftarkan pada hari ke-10. Sepuluh hari lahir baru ada nama, tahu?
3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS?
Very, very, surprised. And agak tidak percaya pada mulanya. And sgt2 nervous sepanjang kehamilan.
4. HOW OLD WERE YOU?
26 years old
5. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT?
Pregnancy test kit selepas seminggu missed period. Masa missed 2 hari dah test, tp mcm x clear. Ada line tp line nya bole wat mcm2 interpretasi. Gi klinik pon Dr x sure. So tunggu sampai seminggu baru test lg, br nmpk jelas. Gi klinik lain plak and disahkan hamil. Masa 1st pregnancy, lewat 2 hari terus nampak jalur2 gemilang itu dgn tiada was2 lg. Tu yg x sure tu masa first pregnant kan Aisyah.
6. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST?
Hubs. Dia sgt konfiden dah pon at this point that I was pregnant. Dia yg suruh test utk kali kedua. Kalo ikut aku, nak tggu sampai missed sebulan kot baru test (x nak mengharap).
7. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX?
No. Semua baju baby dibeli dlm warna kuning and putih. Konon neutral. But people around me predicted that it was going to be a girl, judging by the shape of my belly. Guess they were right :)
8. DUE DATE? -
29 June 2008
9. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS?
Yes. Also like Yzma, I had it in the late evening. Asal Maghrib je uwek... Until 14 weeks
10. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE?
Ikan Bakar / Seafood Bagan Lalang atau Jalan Bellamy. Sampai skang x dpt2. Kena tggu lg 3 tahun kot bila dah balik m'sia (ingat x Yzma n Mas, I went on and on and on psl nak mkn ikan bakar, last2 org lain yg pegi dulu, kita jg yg x pegi2).
11. WHO/WHAT IRRITATED YOU THE MOST?
Nothing. Syukur la. Cuma x tahan panas. Panas, panas, panas. Asyik berkemban aje x tahan panas. Sampaikan terpaksa psg aircon dlm bilik.
12. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CHILD'S SEX?
A sweet little girl!
13. HOW MANY KG DID YOU GAIN THROUGHOUT THE PREGNANCY?
13 kg. Lost all of it after 30 days, Alhamdulillah....
14. DID YOU HAVE A BABY SHOWER?
nope
15. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW?
N/A
16. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY?
Yes. I had known from the beginning that I had Placenta previa. Then at 27 weeks, I'd gushed out blood and was hospitalized for 6 days at Hospital Serdang. The fact that I was polyhydramnios (air ketuban byk) made the bleeding much worse. Then bed rest for another 2 months (x keja tau!) until Aisyah was delivered. Also somewhere along the 8th months scan, we found out that she was breech, which was also a huge scare, then towards the final last few weeks, she'd decided to head down south like she should. Good girl!
17. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH?
Hospital An-Nur, Bangi.
18. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR?
Hmm... I was induced the morning of 16th June, but no contractions at all within that 24 hours (and zero cm huhu). Induced for the second time on the morning of 17th June. Some activities (cramps and backaches) started to be felt around half past twelve, and things progressed pretty fast afterwards. I probably felt the real contractions for less than half and hour. Aisyah was delivered within the next hour. I had so many complications with the pregnancy I guess I was spared long labour pain this time, Alhamdulillah, :)
19. WHO DROVE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL?
Hubs.
20. WHO WATCHED YOU GIVE BIRTH?
obgyn, anasthetist, nurse, paediatrician and of course myself. Hubs pergi smyg Zuhur. Turun2 dah siap. Parents plak, dpt je panggilan terus on the way (Serdang - Bangi). Sampai2 je dah siap.
21. WAS IT NATURAL OR C-SECTION?
emergency C-section. Placenta previa itu x naik sepenuhnya, and as the cervix started to dilate, I started to bleed profusely with every contraction. Hands down the scariest moments of my life.
22. DID YOU TAKE MEDICINE TO EASE THE PAIN?
Yes. Epidural before the op.
23. HOW MUCH DID YOUR CHILD WEIGH?
3.88 kg
24. WHEN WAS YOUR CHILD ACTUALLY BORN ?
17 June 2008. Almost two weeks earlier telah di induce bcoz takut dia grow more in size. Konon nak elak kena c-sec, takut baby besar x leh push but telah tersurat.... but to be honest, aku pon dah x sabar nak deliver, sbb the last few weeks was HARD, dgn beratnya, sakit blkg, pinggang, punggung, betis, segala anggota. Itu utk org normal, kalo aku yg high risk lg la, added stress. Buat tu x leh, buat ni x leh, jln2 x leh.
25. WHAT DID YOU NAME HIM/HER?
Aisyah Nurzahirah
26. HOW OLD IS YOUR FIRST BORN TODAY?
8 months :)
27. WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN?
Without a doubt, Insya Allah...

Ceramah Fiqh Musafir
Hari Sabtu baru2 ni gi University of St. Mark & St. John (MARJON) sbb ada invitation drpd adik2 undergrad (cheh... mcm dah tua je rasa) ke majlis ceramah Fiqh Musafir, yg dibawa oleh Ustaz Erfino, Atase Pendidikan bhg Keagamaan di MSD. MARJON ni ramai undergrad Melayu/Malaysia, budak2 TESL semuanya. Bakal2 guru gituh... ada dlm 25 pelajar senior, dan 25 pelajar junior yg baru sampai minggu lps. Ni kira orientasi diorg la, so utk budak2 baru kalo x sure psl ibadah, qiblat, wudhu', halal haram mkn minum di perantauan, ini la masanya utk bertanya..
Program ni sgt2 bermanfaat, sayang nya kitorg sampai pon dah habis sekerat sbb cik Aisyah nap, tggu dia bgn la baru gerak. Kalo naik teksi dlm 15 minit aje, tambang dlm 7 pound.
Masuk MARJON mmg rasa kampus habis. Waduh, seperti muda remaja kembali... student2 Msia kat sini duduk rumah University, yg di share2 satu rumah 4 org. 360 pound sebulan, api, air, heater, wireless, cleaner semua termasuk. Syok nye la hidup... Kelihatannya sgt2 best dan dekat skali setiap rumah2 tu from each other. Raya harus datang sini nih, muehehehe...
Berkesempatan masuk bilik Izyan masa solat Zohor. Wah, kemas n begitu anak dara skali biliknya. Terkenang zaman rajin menghias notice board di depan meja study dgn kata2 semangat supaya rajin belajar, serta segala doa2 mudah menerima ilmu. Tidak lupa juga tempek gmbr2 bersama member (dan si dia) dan juga corak2 girlish sebagai dekorasi... Skrg? Huh? mujur la kalo dpt wat keja apa pon dpn meja. Tiada masa utk study di rumah, apatah lagi mencomelkan meja study itu. Kat opis aje ada frame gmbr sket2 hehe.. How time changes... X tahu sbb wat PhD ni feel dia lain compared to wat BSc atau sbb dah jadi ibu maka nak guna alasan x de masa atau bole jadi kombinasi keduanya. X pon sbb dah tua, tp biar la aku reminisce skjp zaman muda kala.... :P
Berbalik pd isi kandungan ceramah td. Mmg best habis. Ustaz Erfino tu mmg kelakar dan mengupas byk persoalan yg mmg pernah bermain2 di fikiran. Syabas buat AJK di MARJON yg telah berjaya menganjurkan majlis ni. Selamat dtg pd yg baru, semoga ukhuwwah ni berkekalan. Hrp jgn segan jemput kami lg lps2 ni :D

Ni Ustaz Erfino nye.... Best!
Ni hadirin kat depan (Siswa)
Ni hadirat plak (Siswi)
Ni Aisyah yg x lupa sket2 kat Ibu dia. Dia duduk ngan Mal, wife Wak. Mujur lah dia nak dgn org dah. Mula2 sampai x nak, terkejut kot, sbb ramai yg nak ambil...
Ok, dia sendiri yg minta nak dukung ngan Is dekat kerusi belakang. Hamboih, dah berani... "Pinjam pen ye kak ye?", kata Aisyah.
Pastu makin jauh plak dia pergi sbb dia berkenan dekat buku catitan tu.. Mcm pandai jek salin nota... "Betul eh Ustaz tu ckp gini?" Aisyah bertanya pada kakak yg meribanya. Bak Ibu pinjam nota Aisyah psl Tayammum td... Ibu sendiri x sempat salin hehhee..
Ok letak satu gmbr tuan blog hehe... Ni masa dah sudah majlis, wat kenang2an dgn Nabilah, K Ros (wife Dr. Azli), KB, dan Izyan ...
Aisyah Ada Helmet Baru
Comel x helmet baru Aisyah?
Aisyah skang sgt aktif. Utk mengelakkan kecederaan di kepala ketika belajar memanjat dan bertatih nih, aku n Hubs telah membeli Thudguard. Ye, helmet kecil utk protect skull dia. Hehehe...
Harganya dalam 20 pound sahaja. Ok la tu. Very lightweight but looks durable. So far, bila Aisyah tgh main panjat2 aku pakaikan, and x plak dia melawan, cuma kdg dia boring dia sudah pandai tanggalkan sendiri. Tp tu kdg2 je la. Most of the time dia pakai.
Tp x de la pakai 24 jam. 3,4 jam je dlm sehari pakai kan, abis kuat pon. Waktu dia nak main n explore baru pakai. Waktu tido, mandi, makan, sah2 la x pakai.
Sebelum beli tu, aku dah baca la sket2 pro n cons pakaikan helmet ni. Tp aku rasa pro dia lebih and sbb nmpk cam kiut giler aku gave in. Heheh... Below adalah argument2 nya...
Adakah aku over protective? Aku rasa x, sbb kalo aku over-protective, aku dah letak Aisyah dalam bubble wrap and x kasi dia main apa2. Ni sbb nak bg kebebasan pd dia main la, kasi chance dia belajar explore sendiri, itu psl beli helmet.
Mcm mana la budak yg kecik tu pon x leh kejar? Bkn itu masalah dia. Until you deal with babies 24/7, baru la tahu camne tangkasnya bebudak ni wat 'kerja' diorg. X terkejar! It's not really speed, but it's the unpredictable factor yg membuatkan kita x tersambut kalo2 diorg jatuh. Plus dlm nak menggalakkan budak2 belajar secara independent, x kan la 24/7 nak duduk membontoti diorg. Camne nak independent tuh? Tp kalo dah nak jatuh, jarak semeter dua pon gerenti x kan dpt sambut nya.
Ini tidak bermakna lepas ni x yah lg sgt dah jaga dia masa dia main. Analogy dia sama la mcm org bwk keta pakai seatbelt. Adakah dgn pakai seatbelt itu org akan jd lebih cuai membawa kereta berbanding ngan x pakai seatbelt? Tentu sahaja tidak, bukan? Tp added safety measure la, in case anything inevitable (and falls, are definitely inevitable at her age) happens.
Oh lagi ada argument dia... Ngapa tudung kepala sahaja, x tutup abis satu badan? Sebab kepala yg paling vulnerable.
Kalo kita asyik protect baby kita dari pain, mcm mana depa mau belajar bahawasanya tempat tinggi adalah bahaya dan bole menyakitkan? Oh... believe me, kalo jatuh, cukup la sakit dia punya tangan atau bontot, sure dia nangis punya. X pon sbb terkejut. X perlu la jatuh kat kepala baru nak belajar dari kesilapan. Plus, budak2 ni x serik. Dah jatuh kat kepala/ dagu/ lutut/ bontot, sama je. 2 minit lps tu buat lg. Kental sungguh keazaman.
Argument dia paling best ... Ala... mak bapak kita dulu2 pon jaga x de pakaikan kita helmet ni, tp masuk universiti elok je. Hmm.. itu semua kuasa Allah la, and nature is very, very forgiving psl baby n falls, tp mana lah tahu, kalo x jatuh se-frequent dulu, dah menang nobel prize kot skang? Hihi... Among things to ponder la :P
Semoga dpt la prevent apa2 injuries di masa depan. In the future, x siapa tahu kan. Minta2 dijauhkan la yg x diingini tuh. Kita berusaha membendung, dan bertawakkal, yg mengurniakan tu Allah jua....
Ok sapa nak order sila bg nama. Haha... Xde la, aku x jual, tp nak tolong beli kan bole. Cuma x pasti kalo order dari Spore lagi murah kot. Nmpk cam ada cawangan kat situ. Wallahu A'lam...

Bowling Lagi!
Mlm Ahad lps gi Bowling lg dgn warga Melayu Plymouth. Spt biasa sgt2 fun. Lebih fun lg sbb adanya member2 lain yg bawa anak jg, so Aisyah tidak la berasa janggal. Juga lebih better than first time, sbb kitaorg bawak stroller and Aisyah sempat tido lama juga dlm stroller sampai la DJ bengong kat alley tu bukak lagu bapak kuat masa lights out tu. Terpaksa la lepas tu bergilir2 ngan Hubs dukung Aisyah bawak gi jauh2.
But overall rasa Ok sket than 1st time hari tu. Mungkin sbb dia pon dah pernah dtg kan, so dia x takut sgt. Kitaorg pon better prepared dah, bg mkn dia dulu, bawak stroller, and siap bwk botol air utk dia minum n bekal biskut Farleys dia. Plus pakaikan dia baju nipis2 x mo dia gelisah panas sbb tau dah dlm tu berbahang. Dia still x minat sgt dgn org, kecuali suka dekat Aqil anak Mael n Eton. Siap cuit2 muka tu nak berkawan. Comel sungguh. Tp sayang Abang Aqil malu2 gitu kena ngorat dgn Aisyah... hehe..
Bab score pon not bad. Dah improved dah sket banding ngan last week. Merasa la over 100 tu, walau x terror pon. Maybe sbb Aisyah dah ok bole la main tanpa susah hati pikirkan dia. N dah familiar ngan crowd, so x la subconscious sgt nak main tu. Alhamdulillah jg lengan x sakit after main tu, x mcm 1st time itu hari :)
OK la, ini gmbr2 nya.. aku sengaja pakaikan Aisyah dress kaler coklat, sbb nak suruh matchy2 ngan aku yg berbaju T coklat gitu. Itu hari sama2 pakai cardigan hitam. Gediks kan? hehe..

Sambutan Darwin 200
Fuh... tarik napas sket...
Kurang oksigen weh... busy lately nih...
Ni baru siap 3-months progress report and also dah siap cun print RDC form utk disubmit esok atau Isnin ni ke Faculty of Technology nyer Graduate Office.
Beberapa hari kebelakangan ni rasa cam produktif sket. Ye la, setelah sekian lama terkial2 ngan install Ubuntu, install VMWare Server, pastu eh, x jadi, install Virtualbox plak. Then familiarized myself with Linux semula, and later install bagai2 lg utk projek nih. Pas tu ntah mcm mana ntah audio plak x kedengaran. Adjust2 konon dah dpt audio, buat sudo update bole plak hilang network connection, dah mcm ayam hilang kepala sungguh. Haha..
Anyway, yg bab tool x leh nak run2 lg tu, letak tepi dulu. Went back to my roots and started reading back again. Then starting putting materials in my head on paper utk report ni la. Bole la... Sv puas ati tuh... kira orait la, ye dok?
Alhamdulillah... x kena bambu ngan SV psl x berjaya menjalankan tool itu. In fact, dia bersimpati dan kami telah pon ada pelan tindakan strategik yg baru... hehe... so bersemangat nak tunggu next week masa dia free utk try out idea tu, tp cemas pon ada jg. Apa akan jadi kalo aku still bengong x reti2 nak wat jg alternatif nih peringkat hopelessly helpless? Nauzu billah... ku doakan agar jgn la benda ni berulang lg... puh puh puh (tiup jauh2)...
Tadi adalah merupakan pelancaran Sambutan 200 Years Darwin. Secara langsungnya, group research aku terlibat. Panjang ceritanya mcm mana muzik n Darwin ni berkait2, tp aku cuba pendekkan. Ala... Darwin kan ada wat teori Evolution tu kan? And kat lab kitaorg ada yg terlibat ngan Evolutionary Music. So diorg bekerjasama la. Actually, sambutan Darwin 200 ni kerjasama ngan Peninsula Arts skali, and byk la aktiviti best2 yg dirancangkan. Btw, masa Darwin first start pelayaran dia, dia start kat Plymouth. So universiti pon mmg bangga la ngan sambutan ni. Sebulan lebih you, sambutan dia. Td baru launching je.
Aku yg x perform apa2 ni bertugas sbg AJK Rencam. Ke hulu ke hilir aku gi fotostat dan menyebarkan flyer persembahan. Also aku nak war2 kan ada kekosongan utk sapa2 nak wat MRes dlm bidang Computer Music, kot2 la ada reader aku yg berminat. Pas tu masa nak start aku duduk dekat tangga n terserempak ngan Anas. Maka aku n Anas gi beli lunch and tgk dari tingkat atas show dia.
Masa launching tu ada persembahan muzik daripada member aku si 'A' ni psl Genetic Algorithm dia bole generate kan lagu Happy Birthday menggunakan bunyi2 nature. Ni diikuti ngan tarian oleh para student Expressive Art. Aku sangka kan joget dia ada la ala2 Zapin kita ke, at least joget lambak la, rupa2 nya joget dia sgt abstrak. Lucu sket2 pon ada.. Tp x leh ketawa, nnt org akan tgk kita dgn pandangan, 'x tercapai dek akalmu...'
Lps tu ada bacaan petikan jurnal pelayaran Darwin (ala2 blog Darwin la kot) oleh sedara dia yg kira bau2 bacang ngan Darwin. Lps abis tu, aksi potong kek bday Darwin plak. Aku n Anas dgn muka x malu (tp aku nyorok gak la belakang tiang takut SV aku nmpk yg aku ni pelahap)menunggu giliran nak mkn kek. Ha ha ha...
Ok begitu la kiranya yg berlaku. Enjoy the pics!
Aku masa ni mkn ngan Anas kat kafe atas. Masa ni lom start, tgh warm up stage
Yg berbaju kot ala2 Neo dalam The Matrix itu la SV ku... Harus amik shot jauh2 aje, takut nnt dia soal benda yg x bole jawab di khalayak ramai..
Ni lah dancers nya entrance masuk. Fuh.. menjadi gak gimik diorg masa nih... Suspen2... Ngapa yek, asal musician / performer je mesti pakai hitam. Aku dari zaman ikut perform Gamelan lagi dah tertanya2, ngapa mesti uniform kita hitam? Plak tu kenapa kalo pakai tudung mesti putih? Nnt jadi tahi cicak la weh, mana stylo...
Ni mereka bergelimpangan konon2 ber evolusi la tu... X paham? Tsk tsk tsk...
Ha... yg berkot itu adalah sedara bau2 bacang nya Darwin. Yg terduduk depan laptop itu ada 'A', member aku yg genius itu, yg biru empat segi atas meja itu adalah kek yg aku n Anas usha2 dari atas...Thursday, February 12, 2009
Berat Aisyah at 7.5 Months
Mcm ni pun kurus ke? 
Org nya busy mcm ni, sampai stokin tertanggal2 atau menggelebeh dah, mcm mana nak gemuk, ye dok?
Tuannya kecik aje, tp segala benda nak panjat. Ni attempt nak tarik bottle warmer dia
Kalo x manjat pon, merangkak ke segala ceruk rumah. Semua aktiviti tu pon membakar kalori, ye dok?
Hari tu gi timbang Aisyah dekat tempat Health Visitor tu la. Skali lg episod menanggalkan baju dia tu diikuti dgn raungan penuh x puas ati. Maybe sejuk pon sama kot. Kesian anak aku...
Alhamdulillah, berat dia naik. Dari 6.8 kg last month dah jadi 7.08 kg. Tp itu pon HV x puas ati, sbb dia kata masih ringan sgt nih. Kiranya dalam 25th percentile. Geramnya aku... Nak wat camne kan? Dah kita ni org Asia. Aku x tau la dia ikut chart UK ke apa, tp aku rasa x de la ringan sgt si Aisyah ni. Masih ada ketak2 kat lengan dia, x de la sampai nampak tulang2 je. Pipi pon berisi je, x de la cengkung ke apa ke...
HV tu scrutinize balik rutin mkn Aisyah. Aku ckp kitaorg dah bg mkn 2 kali sehari, lunch and dinner. Pas tu HV tu cam tension, sbb kitaorg x bg Aisyah mkn breakfast. Tp dah Aisyah slalu tido pkl 1 pg, and bgn pkl 12 tghari cam tuh, mana nak bg breakfastnya kan? Jadual cam tu sebenarnya sgt convenient utk aku, sbb bole gi school masa dia tido. Bole la avoid adegan syahdu2 di pagi hari. Plak tu sepanjang mlm Aisyah bgn dlm 4,5 kali nak nenen. So mesti dpt kalori dari situ gak kan? HV kata mlm2 tu biasanya budak2 nak comfort nursing aje, x minum betul2. Tp aku tahu Aisyah minum betul2 sbb bunyi org swallowing, mengah2 sampai.
Lg HV tanya, apa yg aku kasi mkn. Aku ckp la, nasi, kdg potato, sayur, ikan, ayam, daging, semuanya lenyek. OK2, dia angguk puas hati. Pastu dia tanya, 'For dessert?' Lok... kena bg dessert ke? Aku ckp x pernah bg dessert, buah je kdg2 tp dia x suka banana, peach, mango. Semua yg masam dia reject. Strawberry je dia layan. HV kata, kena bg yg manis2 jg, kena introduce la yoghurt utk babies tu ke, formage frais ke, soft cheese utk kanak2 ke, for finger food.
Pastu sebelum balik aku minta dia ukur ketinggian Aisyah sbb sejak dtg UK x pernah2 ukur. kalo kat Msia kan best tiap2 kali pergi ukur. Bole dia ckp, dia x ukur sbb Aisyah dah nangis kesejukan, plus babies x grow in height pon sgt2, so x amik ukuran slalu2. Dah la janji last month nak buat this month, pastu tipu plak. Eiii... geram.
Mula2 aku mmg nak sabotaj aje HV tu punya pendapat. Sakit hati. Suka hati aku la anak aku. Mmg jadual tu convenient pon kan. Tp pikir2 balik, Nabi pon x suka umat dia bgn lewat2 kan, melanggar fitrah aku ni... So kitaorg pon start la kejut Aisyah pg2 and bg breakfast. Dan jadual ke lab aku pon berubah la. Aku cuba bgn utk bersahur (byk kena ganti posa tahun lps sbb ada baki2 nifas n period x teratur tuh), then study sket, tggu Subuh, Solat, then study lg sampai Aisyah bgn. Not so bad, sbb masa Subuh hingga pkl 8 pg ni, org Msia dah ptg. Masa ni la time nak kacao Sake ngan masalah Linux etc, sbb sempat lg la sbb dia online. Kalo tggu lewat2 nnt Msia pon dah mlm, so susah la nak bertanya. Haha, jgn marah Sake... Itu la agaknya hikmah bgn awal ...
Tp agak susah nak ke lab tghari nya. Sbb kena tggu Aisyah nap balik dlm pkl 12 -1 ptg, baru la bole kluar. Kalo x nnt ada la adegan air mata. Huhuhu...
Also kitaorg dah bg la fromage frais dekat Aisyah. So far, falvour strawberry n raspberry okeh. Peach masih di reject. Kalo rice pudding lak ok, strawberry cheesecake (utk baby - dlm tin), dia x moh. Memilih anak aku nih...
Tgk la next month camne. Kalo HV tu sibuk2 lg psl berat, maleh aku nak layan dah. Aisyah tu kan tgh aktif memanjat, merangkak, etc, mcm mana la berat nak naik byk2. Aku bg mkn pon mmg pegang2 gak perut dia, x mo la sampai dah terik sendat jd ikan buntal baru nak berenti bg mkn kan. Tabiat yg x baik tu. Bole membawa kepada obesiti kelak. Aku yakin babies know when they're hungry n when they're full. Kalo aku mess up kang, dia punya full alarm yg dah ada dalam body rosak. Kalo aku x bg mkn pon, she'll still get the nutrition she needs sbb dia kan masih breastfed. Bkn ke skang ni mkn2 utk dia adalah satu experiment shj, and most of her nutrition still comes from the breasts? Apo la makcik HV tuh...
Itu sahaja rant utk hari ni. Yg mana yg baik, aku ikut. Yg mana yg rasa kureng betul tu, aku letak tepi... hehehe...

Kabeh Ireng (Javanese for All Black)
Hari Sabtu malam hari tu Wak and budak2 undergrad wat bakar2 ayam and jemput beberapa family terdekat di Plymouth ni dtg, termasuk la kami. X de occasion apa pon, just spontaneous aje bebudak ni wat ala2 BBQ. Dapat la kiranya mengeratkan silaturrahim dan beramah mesra bersama2 setelah sekian lama masing2 menyepi.
Ni dia muka2 otai di Plymouth. Yg berbaju hitam itu adalah chef2 terhebat di alaf ini. Itu psl panggil All Black. Dgn ayam2 skali black sbb chef2 galak nyembang sampai nyaris hangus! Tp apa pon, ayam2 nya sgt2 sedap. Gravy pon giler2 kaw2 harus mintak resepi tp malu2 kambing sbb dah jd bini org pon x bleh lawan budak bujang hehehe... Si Afiz ada buat Toramisu, tp x sempat rasa sebab kami balik dulu nak gi keringkan baju kat laundrette. Tp meleleh la air liur tgk, and aku berani jamin sedap gak!

Chef giler ganazzz punya posing.. eh eh.. jap, yg pakai jaket itam bawak baby tu x chef yer? Coincident plak baju kaler sama....
Sekeping lg, sekeping lg, kasi masuk gmbr Hubs plak. Masa ni Zali yg amik gmbr. Tiada dlm gmbr: Anas & Firdaus kerana sibuk bermusyawwarah psl hala tuju Islamic Society kat UoP (minggu dpn AGM). Juga tiada dalam gmbr adalah anak2 kecil spt Ukyle n Haziq kerana sungguh leka x hengat dunia bermain di ruang tamu.
Dari Kiri: Saiful (Hubs), Khairul, Afiq, Bad, Afiz, Wak, Adi, Aku, Aisyah, Umay, Mal
Byk nye nama start ngan 'A'. Overdose jap
Sesi mengambil2 gmbr tidak terhenti di situ sahaja malah sambung lg kat umah. Poyo! Ala wat kenang2an Ibu & Aisyah sama2 pakai Cardigan hitam yg baru. Chewah! Like mother like daughter x ?

Snow
Semua org skang sedang hangat memperkatakan psl kedtgan snow yg x disangka2 tiba di bulan February. Member2 pon byk blog psl ni, yg duk Glasgow, yg duk Bristol, Cardiff, London, mahu pon Lugano, Switzerland.
Maka, aku yg kat Plymouth ni pon x nak ketinggalan. Walaupon snow nya ciput aje, tahap memalukan la sbb besar hama kalo nak compare ngan tempat org lain, tp nak ikut post jg. Bkn senang tu nak dpt snow kat South West ni. Mmg sgt2 jrg la pendek kata. South West ni sgt2 warm berbanding tempat2 lain di UK.
So, dgn shameless nya tayang jugak. Tadaaa!
Entry x leh pjg2 sibuk sgt!
P/S: Sapa x nmpk, tandanya (sudahkan sendiri berdasarkan ayat dalam cerita Nujum Pak Belalang)....

Lawatan Ke Eden Project, Cornwall
Setelah sekian lama asyik pusing keliling town centre Plymouth aje di hari minggu, maka last Saturday kami berjalan2 ke Eden Project. Ye la, last jln2 pon masa gi Bristol melawat Che Fadh bulan November lepas. Despite the cold weather (cuaca agak buruk sket utk jln2 sebenarnya), kami pergi juga sbb kalo nak tggu sunny and warm ntah bila la bole berjalan2 kat UK ni. X bole memilih you...
Eden ni ala2 yg Bukit Cherakah pernah nak wat dulu, mcm agro park pon ye jg. Ntah x reti nak describe. Tp dia ada beberapa Biomes, dan dlm tu ada la tumbuhan2 mengikut biomes2 seperti mediterranean dan tropical. Apa2 pon relaxing la juga. Nak kira exercize pon ye, sbb byk kena berjalan. Hehe.. For more info, ni web dia http://www.edenproject.com.
Perjalanan bermula menaiki train First Great Western dari Plymouth ke St. Austell, Cornwall. Harga tambang 8 pound return per adult. Not bad. Journey dia satu jam sepuluh minit aje. Masa ni pkl 10 pg, nyaris2 ter'miss' this one. Bersama kami adalah K Mazni, student PhD di UoP jg, wat Psychology.
Ahh... cuaca begitu murung sekali. X kesah.. Ni Aisyah, merenung jauh, tgk muara di bawah... Teringat kat Sg. Muar ke? Hehe...
Alhamdulillah dah sampai. Ni la view dari atas. Bawah tu lembah di mana terletaknya Eden Project itu. Kalo dari St Austell station ke sini, naik taxi, 12 pound. Quite pricey for a 4 mile trip, but melancong kan? Admission tiket dia sebenarnya 15 pound, tp kalo ada student card, 6.85 pound. Nak best lg, kalo rakyat Plymouth, dpt 5 pound flat, tp kena bawak utility bills yg menunjukkan nama and address kita di Plymouth. Dan tiket tu tahan utk 12 bulan, x kira berapa kali nak dtg. Cool, huh?
Ni tgh cuba ubah gaya posing sket. Aisyah tido, sbb dia tido lewat semalam, pukul 2 pg. Dlm train sibuk nak tgk luar, so skang baru dia ngantuk, hehe...
Dalam usaha mempelbagaikan gaya dengan stroller. Aisyah tido...
Lagi konon2 nya nak bagi gaya lain sket masa amik gmbr tp jadik cam pengantin baru tersipu2. Masa ni dah kat dalam Mediterranean Biome.
Nampaknya Hubs lebih berbakat. X bole jadi nih...
Ok kita cuba berlakon candid plak. Better, no? Aisyah masih tido...
Masih lg di Mediterranean Biome. Posing gaya duduk plak. Aisyah masih tido lagi....
Pokok2... My Dad would really love this place. Nanti kalo diorg dtg aku nak bawa visit lg. Tiket laku 12 bulan kan? Hehehe...
Masuk ke Rainforest Biome. Kelakar sbb dia siap warning panas sampai bole dehydrated bagai... Siap pesan kalo haus minum air dekat water fountain cpt2, ada cooling room kalo dah penat/berpeluh nak pitam... Hmm.. x kena yg real lg kat Msia ... Tu yg cabut jaket tu... Tp ok aje... just nice la... x de la sampai nak pengsan :P
Feel2 dia mcm jenjln kat Zoo Negara gitu. Bau pon sama cam tu jek...
Ni Hubs bergaya depan Malaysia House. Sekeliling penuh ngan pokok pandan dan bermacam jenis pokok2 remnek yg lain. Biar benar... Mcm zaman sebelum Jepun je? Harus amik gmbr nih...
Siap ada kain batik kat jemuran and Motor Cup tu... X tahan!
Siap ada waterfall lagi. Kat sini mmg akan konfem basah2 sket bila lalu...
Sign ni adalah sgt kelakar, maka deserve an appearance here. Hehe... I bet x de sapa dlm Biome tu paham selain us aje... heheh...
Bila dah habis melawat Biomes tu, pergi ke The Core, tempat educational sket la kononnya. Tp agak bosan. Aisyah masih tido lagi!! Goodness, ngantuk sungguh ini budak!
Ok, gaya pura2 interested dgn leaflet. Hmm.. dah nak habis lawatan baru bukak leaflet. Apa laaa...
Haaa... dah bangun pon cik adik kita ni. Sengih2 kegumbiraan sebab puas tido and bgn2 terus dpt mkn ye? Dia sudah pandai duduk tegap dlm kerusi khas kanak2 tu. Oh, I'm so proud!
Sedar2 dah gelap lo kat luar. Posing jap tiga beranak kat luar Biomes.
Posing dgn Aisyah di bawah cahaya lampu sekitar Eden yg bergemerlapan.
Aisyah n Ayah
Eden di waktu senja...
Di observation deck. X leh duduk lama... Angin kuat giler, sejuk beku....
Begitu la adanya trip kami. Termiss train pkl 6.45 ptg, maka terpaksa tunggu train pkl 8.05 malam. Nasib tiket return, kalo x, kaunter dah tutup. Hehe. Plymouth dgn St Austell ni 24 miles je, so x leh wat Sembahyang Jamak. Nasib la masa tu dah solat kat Eden. If you're wondering ada tempat solat ke? X de. Sembahyang dalam changing room. All three of us, me, Hubs n K Mazni. Gasak la, masuk ramai2 pon ... hehe... Mmg agak challenging sbb winter siangnya pendek, so kejap2 kena berhenti solat, n sejuk nak amik air wudhu' tu, tp overall, we had a nice day out :)
