safely arrived from Cambridge this morning!! thank you ever so much to my dear friend zati for this :) looking forward to healthier hair & skin post-natal! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is super important to look after your whole body after you've given birth. at any point following a pregnancy and delivery, you might be experiencing hair loss (which could be extreme sometimes) and skin problems too. Pregnacare provides us with different supplements to tailor our needs before, during and after pregnancy. As it says on the box, nutritional support after pregnancy with lots of vitamins and goodness! </div>

i know that it's going to be quite a while before kareem begins his weaning process which is in about 5 months time, but i can't help to peek a little in the new complete baby and toddler meal planner by annabel karmel. this book is 9 years old now in my possession. bought it at a car boot sales when i was in newcastle... and i even showed it to sarah james, my health visitor back then. during that memorable years in newcastle, sarah was my saviour! she gave me all the best tricks and tips on how to care for my eldest newborn adam including his weaning process. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this book contains 5 chapters. in chapter 1, it tells you what are the best first foods for your baby. so this is the chapter that i am currently reading and revising. what to give and not to give your baby during the first stage of their weaning process. what i love about this book is it tells you how to prepare and cook your baby foods. the best thing is it has a meal planner attached making it easy for working moms like myself :) i might be posting some baby recipes soon when the time comes for kareem's weaning so stay tuned!</div>

Kareem has been a good baby so far, drinking his ebm from bottles. despite having to spend so much time washing up my pump and bottles every 3 hrs, i am thankful and feel very blessed with the priceless opportunity to provide my baby with my own milk. i didn't know any breastfeeding techniques with my first son... didn't know that i could express and keep the milk and i thought without the breast, there's no way feeding my baby with my own milk. owh well... internet was dial-up even in newcastle back in 2003!! information to me was scarce when it comes to breastfeeding... all i know was 6-7 mths fully breastfeed as recommended by WHO. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with Kareem, i have a full-time job to go back to after 3-months of maternity leave. hence, my office colleagues helped me a lot with expressing, keeping the ebm safe and sound in the freezer then thawing them for feed using bottles. lucky me i bought some avent bottles and pump while i was leaving newcastle a year ago (i know... i was not even pregnant back then!!) haha.... expressing made simple if you know the techniques and synchronize the expressing time with your own body needs. ebm could be kept up to 6 months if you are using a deep freezer... i am so going to get one once i am done with my 30-days confinement! hopefully, insyaAllah i would be able to give Kareem ebm as much and as long as i could...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
as you can see, you may keep your ebm at room temperature for up to 4 hrs, in your fridge for up to 48 hrs, and in your freezer for up to 3 mths. if you happen to have a deep freezer, you will be able to keep your ebm for up to 6 mths. simply superb kan? </div>

Alhamdulillah, despite my baby's unexpected early arrival at 36 + 4 days, he is doing extremely well although we both had to stay a little bit longer than expected at the hospital. My great committee team and I organized the 2nd IWA-UTM International Publication Workshop on 12-18 January 2013. The workshop ended marvellously with a great closing dinner at Villa Warisan Johor Bahru on Friday night. I was feeling extra energetic throughout the workshop. We all had an enjoyable week with 28 participants worldwide, and our facilitators were as always highly motivated and supportive towards this mini-baby programme of mine. Had a great Saturday outing with my family having cakes and yummie food not knowing that my suspected Braxton Hicks contractions were actually the real ones! Until on Sunday night when I had to be admitted to hospital due to slower baby movements and continuous contractions as well as a 1.5cm dilation! At 36 wks ++!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had no idea that I was going into labour on Sunday night. They kept me in the ward and I was given painkillers to help me sleep prior to being induced on Monday. I had a rough Sunday night, unable to sleep due to the contractions. I have never been induced. With my first son, I was on epidural because the labour took so long i.e. more than 20 hours. With my second son, I was only on entonox, and the pain was not so bad at 39 wks. However, with my latest newborn, being induced was super-painful that I had to take an epidural and entonox, and even that didn't help with the continuous pain! My husband was on my side all the time in the labour room. My Obgyn and nurses were super-helpful and supportive throughout the 5-6 hours process. After a series of collar grabbing (my husband came into the labour room in his work shirt!), I finally managed to control my breathing and Kareem was safely delivered at 8.44pm on 21st January 2013, a week before my birthday. He weighed 2410gms..my smallest, tiniest baby boy :) Alhamdulillah... </div>

<br />
i am so in love with my growing bump.. my sons kiss my tummy everyday and i can't help but feel happiest to attend my youngest son's curiosities over my pregnancy. what would it be like when the baby is born, mommy? will he climb places? will he crawl and kiss me? will he do this and that and the questions were never-ending... made me smile everytime :) he was sooo into the new baby and we had the 4D baby scan and all, already, i think the baby resembles my youngest son a lot!<br />
<br />
did my baby shopping at various places. bought few essentials and the rest would have to wait until the baby comes in february.<br />
<br />
i promise that i will come back sooner than you thought! but for now i am off to prepare for my morning trip tomorrow!! till later, lots of love and shiny sparkles!!<br />

<br />
anyway, i am almost 10 weeks now and i am starting to feel a lot better. i could have rice for lunch and i plan to fix dinner for my children tonight. although, i tend not to be berlemah lembut and soft spoken and whatnots while thriving myself through this challenging first trimester, i am still myself deep deep inside ;p (sbb my husband the other day was speaking of an old lady professor who speaks so softly and she was all smiles yadda yadda yadda....) blame me for my hormonal subject matters!<br />
<br />
we moved to our new house on 2nd july. it was beautiful moving to your own family home... my children are extremely happy having that extra space to play etc.. i am yet to officiate my bosch double oven but hopefully in full spirit to cook yummieicious newcastle meals during this ramadhan. just the way i used to do during our stay in newcastle...<br />
<br />
and for this post... Ramadhan Kareem to you my Muslim readers just wherever you are. peace!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://ae5e8eo5rlykob5yz1g7xitiu6.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a></div>simplyatiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00392079094366866989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667749041183544809.post-48509448483311442012012-05-14T10:01:00.000+01:002012-05-15T08:11:26.433+01:00selamat hari ibu untuk bonda tersayang<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
selamat hari ibu untuk bonda tersayang. my mom came to spend the weekends with me and my two sons last sunday, on mothers day itself and Alhamdulillah, Allah knows best and His plans are the best of all.<br />
<br />
initially, i planned to go back to my parents but due to unavoidable circumstances, i had to cancel my weekend trip to labis. deep inside, i prayed that there would be ways for me to meet my mom especially during the mothers day weekends considering i had passed my PhD exams on the Friday before. her present was nicely wrapped and ribbon-ed, carefully placed on my door side in case i forgot to put it in the car for my initial balik kampung trip. i haven't signed the card though but i thought to get her a nice cake and cook meals and do the etcetera a daughter would normally do on mothers day. Alhamdulillah, syukur i had the best mothers day with my mom and also with my sister who had another boy last april... my cute little nephew baby hazim.<br />
<br />
since my balik kampung trip was cancelled, i had the chance to attend harris's mothers day celebration at nuri kindergarten. it was great fun playing the mummy returns, doing the catwalk (OMG!! the runway was sooo short lah hahaha), musical chairs etc and these games are for moms only! seronok dpt join other moms in those fun activities :) <br />
<br />
here's some photos from my fantastic mothers day do! <br />

all in all, it was a very special mothers day weekends. sesungguhnya perancangan Allah itu Maha Cantik! lots of love and shiny sparkles y'all :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://ae5e8eo5rlykob5yz1g7xitiu6.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a></div>simplyatiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00392079094366866989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667749041183544809.post-35184304224948961252012-05-11T14:57:00.000+01:002012-05-11T14:57:02.798+01:00my PhD viva voceAlhamdulillah, Friday 4th May 2012 marked my most cherished memory throughout my academic journey. all the years that i've spent studying and learning from kindergarten back in 1985 until PhD in 2012 holds special memories in each and every years in between too. my PhD viva voce went smoothly, as sharp and short like i've prayed for it to be. the examiners were prominent in their research field. excellent comments were generated during discussion which are all contributive to the improvement of my final thesis. my external examiner flew all the way from sweden and i am honoured to have him at utm johor bahru campus for the memorable occasion.
being able to submit my thesis on time, i consider that as one of my phd proudest moments. amidst raising my two young children, looking after my growing family, extending myself between two three families, didn't seem to complicate things concerning my studies. there's no easy way in handling petty issues or making major decisions for the past three challenging years but... i always stick to my list. yes, i am a lister freak who lists everything and crosses several things accordingly! bet i am not the only one right? since january 2009 that is when i was officially registered for the phd beautiful journey, i breathed each and everyday not only with my heart but also with my soul, tears and laughter until last friday 4th may. i made sure that i can see some lights at the end of the tunnel every evening as i am leaving my lab bench or my desk. i went home aiming to cook my best capacity meals for my family, watch tv, do my movie weekends (i tend to do this alone after midnight), write something on here or do whatever non-phd-related stuff simply to enjoy my evenings with my family at home. it is important to have "separators" in managing our daily rituals. phd happens at university and in my office but at home i am a full time mom and wife and part time everything elses. at least i tried to do the above although i surely had my fair share of bad and best days during my phd course.
all these "rituals" were coupled with the most important element including positive thinking, positive outlook towards life, and anything that bears the word positive in it! a positive attitude is very important in everything that we do. am sure everyone knows that mantra but not many practise what they preach!
i wore a classic pair of old kurung dress in blue, with purple and pink flowers given by my good friend norakmal back in 2002 for the viva. teamed the pair with an electric blue tie-rack number and my most comfy black clarks wedge shoes and i was good to go!
alhamdulillah all went well. i am ever so grateful for the gifts of knowledge. will write more on several things concerning my phd journey. until then, be thankful, be positive and have faith in Him, insyaAllah you will get there just fine....

Alhamdulillah.. 32 years of being a daughter to wonderful parents and a sister to my lovely sisters. Almost 9 years being a mother to two lovely sons Adam & Harris and almost 10 years being a girlfriend, wife and be married to a ermm.. descriptive husband? lol! </div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: justify;">
My husband wished me with lots of kisses and hugs, followed by my sons. I love getting kisses and hugs from my lovelies especially on my birthday! Bet everyone does kan? I asked my sons to go to bed as it was getting late. Little did I know that my youngest Harris brought along his special case full of pencil colours and paper to make a little birthday card for mummy. I am flattered.. I melted instantly upon knowing that the card was ready by bedtime when this morning, Harris woke me up (he always wakes up the earliest among us all!) and kept saying happy birthday mummy and I made a card for you.. he said that he wanted to buy me a present but, he doesn't know what to get me for my birthday plus he doesn't have that much money.. how thoughtful of Harris! Adam helped with writing the card :) Note the <i>Geordie way of spelling</i> <i>mammy</i>, I love!!</div>

<br />
saya dah menonton ombak rindu. saya tidak menangis sebagaimana saya menonton nur kasih. mungkin jalan cerita ombak rindu kurang terkesan di hati saya. anyway, saya kagum dengan kesabaran izah. kagum dengan cintanya kepada suami yang telah dinikahi secara sah. kagum dengan kesetiaannya yang tidak berbelah bahagi. kagum dengan kedamaian hatinya bertemu cinta dalam keterpaksaan. irihati dengan tabah dirinya. sungguh!! saya iri! cemburu dengan bagaimana dia memupuk rasa cinta yang begitu mendalam terhadap harris. selain itu, saya juga kagum dengan cinta mila yang tidak berbelah bahagi kepada seorang yang bernama lelaki. wataknya yang panas baran.. i could imagine myself being exactly like her.."because i love you so much!" (ps: en suamiku please take a serious note on this ;) mila is like nothing is impossible to her. nothing! over her dead body gitu. i pun sama over my dead body but in a positive way lah kan. kekuatan cinta saya mungkin tak setanding cinta mila. tapi saya juga tidak menafikan bahawa kekuatan cinta saya mungkin hadir dalam dimensi yang berbeza. tapi saya juga turut membayangkan, seronoknya kalau sesekali dapat menjadi mila.. yang dapat meluahkan perasaan sepenuh hatinya. so, ada sesiapa nak bergaduh dgn saya hari ini? hrmm? hrrmm?<br />
<br />
dan harris bukanlah lelaki dambaan saya. saya tidak menemukan ketegasan dalam kelelakiannya. tiada pegangan kukuh dalam peribadinya. dia tidak mempertahankan izah. izah terkorban dalam kemelut harris yang gelap. harris seolah mencatur cinta hitam putih. penghujung kasih ditelan ombak.. andai cerita ini bukan khayalan.. kebahagiaan izah masih samar. bukankah begitu? tidak dinafikan, wataknya amat romantis membuai rasa. fitrah wanita paling bahagia saat dibelai dan dimanja, begitu bukan? harris pandai memaparkan rasa kasih. harris says sorry. harris perindu. betapalah saya mengharapkan tiada watak mila dalam kisah kemelut ini...haiii hati... <br />
<br />
anyway, saya menulis ini pun bukan kerana nama (acewah!). sekadar berkongsi ombak pemikiran yang melanda. cinta amat subjektif. hanya Allah yang Maha Mengetahui isi hati kita. sayang yang tidak bertepi seperti Mila, memakan diri, menghancurkan hati. bila hati pecah, umpama cermin tak akan mungkin bercantum kembali. sabar seperti Izah, walau kebahagiaan dijamin dalam filem, di dunia nyata, Izah mungkin kehilangan cintanya. tak perlulah saya jelaskan cinta yang bagaimana... cukuplah kalau saya nyatakan cinta harus dipupuk dan dibaja, umpama pohon perlukan air dan matahari, begitulah cinta.<br />

He's been there for three days, just like many other school children in Malaysia and most of my lovely girlfriends' children on my Facebook. It's great to hear that everyone is settling well at school, especially when I see my son's happy face after school each day. However, the homework routine hasn't started yet. I am hoping that Adam and I will cope better this time albeit the tiredness spending the whole day at uni and at school.
On the contrary, Harris still cries every morning when I left him at nursery. Nevertheless showing utter cheerfulness when it's home time in the afternoon... Happily playing with his friends and paper aeroplanes. Since Wednesday, we've had basically similar routine and rituals daily. Me awake by 530am, shower then boil hot water for the boys to get wash at 540am. Adam is ready by 605am, then we perform Subuh prayers together. Meanwhile, Harris is already awake. Gave him his morning wash..get ready in school uniform. I made sure that bags, uniforms and homeworks are ready the night before so it's easier in the morning. We have breakfast together at 615am... While I had some fruit juice and pack my cheese n whole meal bread (I have mine at the office). Hang my laundry on the line, bags into the car then we are on the road by 650am. Arrive 7am at Adam's school, at Harris's by 720am, reached my office by 730am. I love the freshest cool air in the morning, the quiet traffic to Adam's school, my organizations for my precious children, the way the teachers welcome Adam and his friends at the school gate, my half an hour early arrival in my office everyday, all in all I love my early start every morning. I simply love mornings!! I know that may seem weird to you but when you have school age children, it is your responsibility to ensure that they are happy and content in every life aspect possible including school.
As a treat, we watched mission impossible at mbo tonight. Yet another superb acting by Tom cruise.
Ok, looking fwd for a great weekends.

<br />
took the bus from JB which brought us directly to singapore. the traffic was really smooth and i didn't expected that. had murtabak zam zam and lamb biryani, as usual to begin our visit with. went to IKEA Alexandra after iPad2. bought a few stuff then head back to JB, meeting our good friend for dinner in stulang laut... however, dinner tadi membuatkan saya banyak berfikir. my husband juga banyak diam daripada memberi komen. i rasa dia pun terkesima dengan cerita2 yang baru kami bualkan dengan kawan rapat kami tadi... hrrmmm....<br />
<br />
tak tahu, dah berapa banyak cerita suka duka rumahtangga teman2 yang telah saya dengarkan sejak saya sendiri berumahtangga. mengapakah semarak cinta semasa awal perkahwinan tidak dapat dikekalkan? memang benar soal jodoh aturan Tuhan dan siapalah kita untuk mempertikaikan.. namun bila disebut soal berkongsi kasih, mudah sahaja kita menyerahkan..alahai...telah tertulis takdir sedemikian. saya sedang berperang dengan perasaan kasih dan simpati pada teman baik yang kasihnya telah diduakan.. belum lagi kisah pasangan ideal menongkah arus berpaling kasih bercerai haluan. tak tahu salah siapa harus dituding... benar siapa harus didukung. kepada teman2 bergelar isteri... tabahlah hadapi dugaan berumahtangga. cabaran bukan sedikit, sabar harus menggunung. kalau beralah bukanlah kalah... tapi untuk harmoni harus pandai mengatur pasrah, jangan terikat dengan amarah.<br />
<br />
pengalaman sedikit usia sembilan tahun perkahwinan... kalau berapi kita padamkan, kalau sejuk kita nyamankan. itulah tugas isteri, yang damai lagi menenangkan. kalau berkerjaya pula, janganlah dikejar impian dan cita, kalau redha suami dalam kesamaran. cukuplah kita bekerja dengan niat seadanya, membantu suami, memberi kebajikan yang berpada untuk anak2... isteri harus pandai meletakkan ego di tempatnya. isteri mesti pandai memujuk. isteri mesti bijak berkata-kata. isteri harus ada sixth sense! isteri harus menggoda!! saya masih terkejut dan tak tahu nak komen bagaimana... saya sedang mengambil iktibar... saya sedang menilai diri sebagai seorang isteri. cantik dan berpelajaran juga ditinggal suami, yang setia di rumah juga diduakan kasihnya.. yang mempunyai suami sempurna pula bersikap tidak menghargai... bermacam2 tingkah rumahtangga.<br />
<br />
semoga Allah tetapkan hati kita.. janganlah kita suami isteri berpaling kasih. semoga tetap menyayangi dengan Iman dan Islam. semoga Allah memberkati rumahtangga.<br />
<br />
semarak cinta..moga ia kekal di dunia hingga ke syurga. ameen. <br />

<br />
which reminds me of the years that i've spent as a wife and a mom. kalau tgk gambar dulu2 masa adam kecik owh i sooo miss his babyhood and toddler moments. he was such a good baby, such a good toddler.. takde ganas2 terbang sana sini ok. also thats how he grows up until now.. rubs my back when he knows that i am tired or not in the mood etc. smiles to me whenever our eyes meet..thats my eldest son. <br />
<br />
i don't know what gets into me this morning but i hope i can work from home today ;p... although the motivation is not the same as in working from my office but its okay. at least its not raining and i've already put my yesterday's washing in the drier..not bothered to put them back on the line.. be motivated, be hardworking because that's the key to everything and be smart. be grateful for today and be kind to yourself and everybody. lots of love and shiny sparkles may you have a PRODUCTIVE tuesday ok :)<br />

<br />
love makes me cry...<br />
expect monsoon and lots of heavy showers when i first found out how love could hurt my feelings as if nothing else matters. <br />
as far as i could recall i can't seem to think straight when bad things happen to me concerning love.<br />
i cried a lot for silly reasons and seriously some things are not worth crying for.<br />
<br />
love has its own mind...<br />
that i sometimes lose control of my own.<br />
i tend to do crazy things.<br />
i didn't listen to anyone.<br />
i was in a bad shape.<br />
<br />
love has to be...<br />
when he kisses you passionately<br />
when he puts your coat away for you<br />
when he carries you to bed<br />
when he doesn't get you anything but roses on your special day<br />
when he will always be there for you<br />
when he will always be there for you....no matter what<br />
when he hugs you and tells you how much he loves you<br />
and you could simply see the truth in his eyes<br />
<br />
love is...<br />
watching the sunset<br />
dancing in the rain<br />
a kiss on the forehead<br />
holding hands...<br />
<br />

I pray... that one fine day would be mine too insyaAllah in the near future. defending your thesis is prime but editing it is another. i wouldn't say it is difficult to edit and write a 250 pages of report concerning your research findings. i would however define thesis editing as a one small job that should be conducted in the most fun manner! have fun while juggling your thesis writing with a spiderman-imitates by your side (read: my youngest son ;p). this evening at my office, i managed to write half a sentence + answered hundreds of questions from my youngest i.e. mommy, will you be able to take my bullet..its down under your book cupboard; mommy, have you got any food in your office as i feel hungry now; mommy, why the rain hasn't stop yet?; mommy, you know adam wants some racing car and i forgot the rest; mommy...mommy... so i can't focus on my thesis. it is obviously the school holidays here and my youngest DEMANDED him to be fetched earlier than his usual time, and he NAGS me all day about him not having to nap at nursery simply because he doesn't want to, and he WANTS fish and chips for lunch NOT rice and some chicken dishes, and he PROMISED to be with his daddy throughout his combined office hour with us BUT instead reprimanded an hour or two with me instead.<br />
<br />
my dateline is tomorrow morning and despite having my lists well ticked ahead of time, mistakes are bound to happen in my edited thesis!! and they are the last minute of prime importance additional work that needed doing by today but certainly NOT with my spidey-son around yes? no? NO! and he made me PROMISE to cook him spaghetti for dinner... so, here i am with emerging eyebags not able to sleep on my last minute minor spelling corrections or missing figures *sigh*. while my spidey-son is fast asleep after a series of harsh bedtime warnings and a crying and a hug and hugssss and kisses and everything elses in between that calls for a bedtime war. so, before i end my mini mini PhD quest tonight i would love to be reminded of my own quotes in my facebook recently just so i would always remember my PhD the way i love to remember it :) <br />
<br />
<i>PhD doers, PhD is a fun process if you don't take it too seriously. make
PhD a good life to live in.. it is like a rental accommodation that you
wanted to live in for at least 3 years. PhD takes time so be sure to
not only spend but also appreciate time. PhD can be stressful sometimes
so make sure that you have a circle of motivated, highly positive
thinking friends around you, and if you don't have any, be sure to feel
highly motivated and positive YOURSELF! PhD can be competitive
sometimes, make sure that you avoid all the negative drivers i.e. avoid
feeling envious to your colleague's achievements, but challenge yourself
to do better everyday; smile to critics and take it positively; DO NOT
procrastinate; don't be afraid to learn from your friends as we do not
know everything we are all learners etc.</i><br />
