I was tagged by Lina a few weeks ago. Here goes;

5 expensive baby related product i don't regret buying:

1) First Years Sleep Positioner: which i called zara's minicrib... bought it for RM169 kalau tak silap. consider mahal gak bcuz pkai since zara newborn until 3months plus je... but i must say, berbaloi beli bcuz it's very handy... and portable... so if pg mane2 pn boleh bwk so that our baby ade tempat utk landing... mlm2 plak we can just put that thing beside us atas katil tym zara baru lahir. takde la risau takut tertindan on her very tiny body pulak kn.... :)
2) Mothercare Crib Mobile: with three choices of song; lullaby, nursery rhyme, and classic. ade lampu2 colourful.. and ade 4 animals hanging and pusing2 and they go up and down... around rm200 tak silap i... if kite dah letih singing her lullaby songs to put her to sleep, this mobile crib will help me w dat. zara sgt suke.. gelak2 tgk the lights and now dah pndai click the on button sendiri.. OMG.
3) Medela Breastpump + bottles + accessories: hubby bought medela mini electric, d cheapest for medela's range kot kecuali manual pump la. but mahal la kire jugak kn for me.. around rm600plus in total. as a careerwoman, single pump ni ade jugak kelemahannye bcuz time consuming and once i pump one side, the other side will leak like crazy...haha banjir.. rugi2.. sebaik zara ni tak minum susu byk sgt.. but for my 2nd baby (konon2 nak anak lelaki) i'll definitely go for medela freestyle. :)
4) Fisher Price Aquarium Swing: bought for Rm499. battery operated, ade function yg the baby bole control the song sendiri, which can keep zara occupied time bibik buat kerja... boleh control the speed and volume. suitable for daytime usage....
5) BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Synergy: ini mmg berbaloi baloi... simply bcuz it helps a lot lot lot.. tym pg kenduri, tym pg makan2 kt luar, and especially tym berjalan2... zara jarang skali moody when she's in her babybjorn. she looks comfy in it. and selalu tertido kalau jln2 dgn babybjorn.. it's now daddy's bestfriend.. :) oh ye, this one is RM649.

5 cheap baby related product i don't regret buying:

1) Drypers diapers: alryte, i've been thought that the rule of thumb to buy diapers for your baby is... try with the cheapest one first, and if ur baby is okey with dat one.. continue using it... Okey means takde rashes problem ke, skin irritation ke ape ke kn... so we tried drypers.. not the cheapest.. moderate la kn... and she seems fine in it... gune je la.. :)
2) Mothercare Carseat: this carseat tak smpai rm300 pn... tapi sgt membantu... we not only use it as a carseat, we even use this when we went out to the restaurant n zara ade possibility utk tido... and if dlm kete die tertido, we'll juz bring the whole thing into the house.. and if terjaga pula... it can be used as a rocker... to buai zara to sleep again... :)
3) Branded clothes, accessories and etc bought from F.O.S and Brands Outlet and Shopblog: yep yep yep, definitely tak regret langsung... cheap, high in quality, and cantikkkk and stylo. tu yg penting. haha. love them all!
4) Ikea babycot and bedding set + canopy: murah tak smpai rm800 pn for the whole thing... adjustable babycot.. attractive bedding sets and canopy... :)
5) Johnson&Johnson toiletries: especially yg kaler purple-white tu.. it soothes babies and makes them go to sleep.. hehe. macam ubat tido lak. bt yeah, berbaloi. compared to anakku ke pureen ke sume harge mungkin lebih kurg same but this is the best... buds products and mothercare products pn okey jugak tp lagi mahal la.. hehe. this one is consider cheap and i dont regret buying at all. :)

5 baby related products that I REGRET buying:

1) Pacifier: bought a few already...sbb awal2 dulu ingtkn zara layan, rupenye die tak suke pn... rugi saje... heh
2) Esprit stroller: tak ingt d price tp tak smpai rm500 kot. zara doesnt fancy this from the very beginning... and sbb die dh biase dgn babybjorn kot.. im letting this go! hehe. sape nk beli i jual half price... :) zara penah pkai skali je kot... nti zara besar sket daddy dh tak larat bwk gune babybjorn, i nak beli mclaren. so i hav to let this one go first! hehehe.
3) Mothercare smart nappy: gediks beli yg utk newborn punye.. starter set dlm rm100 plus... tapi smpai sudah tak pkai pn... i think berbaloi if i make use of it... sbb sbnanye cun la jugak nappy ni i suke nmpk smart je.. ye la name pn smart kn...
4) Bumble Bee head support: ni mmg tak gune langsung sbb carseat tu mmg dah ade its own head support. if gune stroller mayb okey la kot...
5) Mams Bottle warmer: memang la tk bape mahal tak smpai Rm30, tapi rase rugi lak sebab tak gune pn.. penah gune skali je, tp cam tak membantu sgt... sape nk? i bg free :)

Just want to state here that, jgn ade yg salah anggap plak i letak letak brg mahal la... murah la... bace la dgn hati yg positive... ape yg tak elok buang, ape yg elok amek... bcuz tak kira betapa mahal or murah pn satu bende tu, they are all just material. what's more important for our kids is kasih sayang yg tak terhingga.. itu yg paling berharga skali... as i am also a daughter, sebyk mana harta my mom n dad bagi... without their love, guidance, and support... tak ke mana jugak kite.... btul tak? d bottom line is, we have to know how to prioritize and spend wisely! :)

thanks Lina for this tag... i tak tag sape2 la sbb i rase ramai dah buat.. hehe.. tp sape2 yg terbace blum buat nak buat... silakan....

oh sebelum tu, layan zass these photos of me n zara camwhoring during lunchtym tadi...

toodles!

kepala angin?

heya. its been awhile since i updated my blog here. so many things r goin on rite now. and i dun really hav much tym for this. but today, i chose to giv myself a rest! nothing much to say, except that i'm being so so freakin worried after my last check up w my gynae. i'm putting too much weight. n the doc really made me scared. everyone except my parents n the doc were saying things like... "alaa.. normal la tu, n then u'll lose ur weight back"... but, but, since b4 preg and now 30weeks (approximately 7months) pregnant, i've already gained a solid 18kgs.... this is beyond normal, rite?!! (oh please tell me im wrong) how? how? how? what shud i do??? and the doctor kind of challenged me to gain just another 1kg for our nex visit which is.... this weekend!!! im so freakin nervous bcuz,.. i dun think i can achieve that. hu.. nasib la doc! i've tried my best thou... considering that i still havta eat for this little baby.. kalau tak, i dah naik turun gym dah skrg... n then terpk to join slimming program skrg... tapi takyah kacau perut.. just area2 yg lain jer kasik kurus... huhu. pastu my hubby ckp i dh mule nk ngarut.. huahua. d fact is, i'm super duper effing worrieddddd!!!! tapi kene makan sbb lapaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! haha. emo kn? kn? yes, sy mmg emo! dan kepale angin! huhuhu.

to whom it may concern:
im very very sorry, awak terpakse tahan my kpale angin. i noe u've been extremely patient since my bad bad mood swing. thnx for coping w my kpale angin! i love you like no other.

okey2. enuff about the stressful part. mesti happy2 nk sambut baby. if not, baby pon kuar dlm keadaan stress, says hubby. sian baby mama... tak tak. mama tak stress. mama cool! ahaa~ so now, being in my third trimester, im getting bigger and heavier. and alhamdulillah, baby is growing fantastically. evrythng's normal. i can really feel her movements. at one point, mmg terbonjol my tummy dek her leg, or elbow or tgn. i dun noe. but it's amazing. an amazing feeling to see dat and to share the excitement with huby, and the rest of the family. for now, boleh dikatekn all the baby's essentials have been bought. excited ok! ade la tinggal a few things yg belum beli. tapi takpe we stil hv like 10 weeks to go shopping. insyaAllah. and well, well, i have a list of wishlist for my baby. tau, korg mesti perah otak nk kasik hadiah ape kt anak gue!!! ;PP bt still indecisive of whether to publicitize the wishlist or not. i dun noe, somehow, rase the idea of listing a wishlist ni mcm unnecessary. like, sukatilah org nk kasik hadiah ape kt kite kn.. bt sometimes org yg nak kasik hadiah, die tak sure nk beli ape utk kite, so at least we r giving ideas la kn... takde paksaan pon kn.. hehe. so, if say, i am about to release a wishlist, please noe that, those are the things yg i wud love to have la kn.... and so that u ppl my loved ones tak beli the things yg i dh ade... hihi.. perlu ke ckp psl ni? okey la. its just a thought.

16 facts tentang dia! eh.. tentang aku la~

1) dilahirkn sangat bulat, tanpa rambut.. dan diibaratkn seperti bola yg boleh berguling2. Grew up becoming a small petite gal, dan kini kembali bulat kerna sedang mengendong bayi kecil berusia 6bulan di dlm perut, dan diharapkn seterusnya badan ini kembali normal dan bagus ya! ;)
2) kini kiwi merupakan buah harian aku.. at least sebiji sehari.. tu pn if mama tak pow, kalau tak 2 biji sekali. mmg sedap! nyum2.
3) aku mempunyai size family yg agak besar.. dulu tym kecik penah merungut why my parents lahirkn ramai sgt anak... like 6 of us? huhu. n 4 gals pulak.. n i used to be super duper envious w one of my primary classmate yg merupakn anak tunggal, haha. bcuz die takyah pn share pepe dgn beradik lain. namun skrg i realize, how pathetic it is to feel dat way.. bcuz nw d houz is really empty without you "little" gals; cfah, joy, nuha. huhu!
4) deep down inside my heart, sometimes i do feel extremely nervous & anxious about the things coming up ahead to the extend kdg2 tu mengadap my organizer secara lama juz to berangan and think about stuffs kt ofiss tanpa melakukn sebarang kerja. huhu.
5) semenjak akil baligh smpai skrg aku hanya mempunyai plusminus one year utk diri sendiri dan hanye diri sendiri, kerna tahun selebihnya saye ade boyfriend. huhu. (no good no good!)

10) aku risau dengan keadaan jari jemari yg semakin mengembang, my engagement ring and wedding ring mmg tak mampu lagi dikeluarkn wpn dgn amount lotion yg byk.. takut kene potong cincin, bcuz obviously takkn nk potong jari... huhu. how eh?
11) byk yg melihat kehidupanku as 'perfect' or 'almost perfect'.. aku bersyukur.. tp sbnanye tidak la seperfect mane pn. mayb im jz good in hiding my flaws.. yeah, manede org suke tunjuk kelemahan diri sendiri. itu loser namenye! uhuhu. but tunjuk kelemahan utk memperbaiki kelemahan is definitely a good thing. ler, apesal lak aku nk kasik nasihat kt sini? hm, pardon me eh.
