Travelogue 1: Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi

A French-themed resort. I would say yes dari luar memang ala ala France. The environment sangat tenang. For those yang stress kerja sesuai sangat la tempat ni..But the room..duh..run down, wall paper tercabut..toilet xbersih..for RM 285++ is not worth it.

Lepas check-in, hujan turun mencurah2..maklum la musim hujan..fortunately lepas sejam hujan berenti. So kitorg naik buggy (lori sayur yg diconvert jadi buggy.Tak presentable langsung)and visited Botanical Garden and Japanese Tea House..Kalau pergi Colmare nak ke mana lagi kan. Ish kalau x fit, memang mengah betul mendaki bukit n tangga nak menyampaikan destinasi yang dituju. Nasib baik tempat ni OK la..Ha..my lil boy xnak dukung langsung pegi sini..seronok masuk hutan gamaknya. Sombong nak jalan sendiri dengan heret payungnya.. He was so happy..lepas bebas kan. Bapak dia dah tak terkejar..huhu..anak tengah aktif bapak bawak perut :D

Balik dari "jungle trekking", kimi pengsan.

Our dinner. End up with my husband kena food poisoning. Terus moody and ajak nak balik.. Bilik dah bayar kot. I've waited for so long nak pg holiday tetiba spoilt. Bertahan!!!Nasib baik esoknya macam dah OK sikit..

Ni horse favourite kimi.."Horse neigh neigh Tonash" Ha..sebab atas kuda tu ada logo Petronas.. tu yg excite dia lebih. Kesimpulannya, holiday yang tak best sangat, we won't be back again. Hotel terrible..Makanan xsedap, breakfast buffet pun xsedap, Pemandangan je yang OK. What a waste of money.

Oyster @ Home

Bila pertama kali tengok..mmg tak kenal binatang apakah ini.. To be honest, I'm not a fan of mollusks. So tak ada la excited sangat when my Abah said is an Oyster he bought at Kuala Selangor. Believe it or not, 20 biji/ekor? not so sure on the penjodoh bilangan..but 20 oyster = RM 10.Kalau makan kat kedai ni..lebih RM100 ni.. So kitorg panic jugak bila bukak plastic nampak oyster tu penuh dengan organisma lain..bran-buran..epifit..saprofit..xpasti la..so macam biasa champion for cleaning until gleaming, my husband membersihkan dengan giat as picture below. Selingan kejap..dia besihkan uri my son pun gleaming..haha So dah jadi gleaming oyster, time for cooking.. Oysters must be eaten alive, or cooked alive. The shells of live oysters are normally tightly closed or snap shut given a slight tap. If the shell is open, the oyster is dead, and cannot be eaten safely. Cooking oysters in the shell kills the oysters and causes them to open by themselves. But from my experience, after half an hour in the oven it didn't open by themselves. So my Abah and hubby got to struggle pakai pisau to open the shell. Diorang tak berani makan raw, so I have to cook the oyster. Belasah je la..masak western bukan susah pun. Diced Tomato and capsicum, lemon, herbs, basil, oregano and salt. So here it is..Macam hotel beb.. My hubby kata ada zzziingggg! Haa..sedap sangat la tu.

Adam dan Hawa

As this drama series teramat la ramai followers, nk citer jugak la..I am Aisya Sofea's fan..not to forget Fauziah Ashaari, Sh Abu Salem,Siti Rosmizah n Ramlee Awang Murshid..kaki novel of course kenal dgn these big names. I read Adam dan Hawa masa zaman kat U.My room mate mmg maklum la dgn my craziness towards novels. The novel mmg dah cantik sangat la..org kata cukup garam gula pedas masam. But tokok tambah dalam drama agak mengecewakan la..macam sengaja nak meleret-leretkan cerita sampai kekedang jadi macam boring sikit..But I would say Aaron Aziz had done a great job..Facial Impression mmg sama mcm ayat dlm novel..At first, I was quite frustrated sbb Nadiya Nisaa jd heroin..but dh hr2 layan citer ni, she's not bad! Thanks to uploader Adam dan Hawa sbb saya takde Mustika HD! Lepas ni Sehangat Asmara plak n rasanya Mustika HD jugak ni..

Surprise!!!! We met Aaron Aziz masa shooting kat Perth..Seriouly, kebetulan masa ktorg pegi holiday kat perth..diorg shooting kat CBD Perth. We were in the car and my husband got an eagle eye, boleh nampak Aaron Aziz tgh padang. We stopped by and met him sbb kitorg mmg tau dia tgh berlakon Adam dan Hawa..Sangat suka novel itu..so of coz nk take picture dgn jejaka idaman gadis2 Malaysia..me? biasa-biasa je..dia seriously photogenic sbb bila jumpa in person tak handsome sgt :( Sampai sekarang tak sangka jumpa Aaron Aziz kat Perth..hehe

The Oleander, Bandar Seri Coalfield



I bought this property back in October 2011. It's so hard to get landed properties in KL within our budget nowadays. But still by the end of the day, we need our own house. And the price for Oleander is quite affordable la. You won't get landed for 300k anyway.

 After 7% Bumiputera and RM10,000 reduction for early bird, total price of the house is about RM425,000.00. And for that price we get a 2,423 sqft double storey house. So after several discussion with my hubby and abah (who is hnowledgable about everything on earth! Annoying rite..huh), we decided to buy the house.

 

Other than price, there are also other factors that we took into consideration to make the decision.

1. Proximity to my mom's place (not more than 20 minutes travelling time)

2. Highways and alternative routes to go to KL

3. Suitable for family with 3 kids (in future insya allah)

4. Big kitchen (I love cooking so much and I need my space!)







This is the highways that link the area to KL and my mom's place. My mom's place is close to Bukit Jelutong..so it's not far away! Anak Mama..hehe..And hopefully the new NKVE proposed will be launched by the time we move.





 

Artist Impression of the Oleander

This is our house according to the artist impression. I'm not agree with a Yellow paint but what to do..  

In Construction

 According to some of the buyers, this is the progress of construction so far. KLK target to obtain CF by July 2013. But as the area is very new, we might move in by early 2014..After my next baby perhaps!Wah..

2 Years of Breastfeeding Part 2

Haa..via mobile.. :$

Sejarah paling pilu sepanjang breastfeeding duration was when my expressed breastmilk (EBM) musnah sebanyak 12 botol =24oz++..sampai skrg punca masih belum tahu sape empunya angkara..but deep inside my heart i know is my husband.. The story was..I'm staying at my mom's place minggu2 terakhir puasa..berbuka berjemaah kan lebih meriah..musibahnya..so awal bulan puasa..I was like strugling buat stok ebm..mommy kurang mkn..production affected..so I took alfalfa shaklee..nursing tea..motilium..ni milk booster kita citer part lain la kn..utk boost my production..so dh stok EBM dlm freezer..kami meninggalkn apartment kami untuk menghabiskn sisa sisa ramadhan dan menyambut syawal..

Jeng jeng jeng..we were back after 3 weeks..n bila bukak je pintu rumah apartment kami..maka bau yg teramat la teruk mengalahkn bau sampah terus menerpa hidung..panic la kitorg..so my hubby open the fridge bcoz nmpak byk air around the fridge.RUPANYA SOMEBODY DAH SWITCH OFF THE SWITCH! n believe it or not..susu yg diperah dgn effect booster bagai..rosak bcampur dgn bau hamis daging n bangkai ikan.. Menangis kot!!!sedihnya tuhan je yg tau..

Bau botol tu xhilang2 after rebus 10x pun..End up I throw away all bottles..and beli baru..sebab bau yg teramat la teruk tu..n guess what my fridge bau tak hilang even 3 months after the incident. We put daun pandan, charcoal yg ori..charcoal commercial..basuh dgn sabun xkira la byk kali..bau apartment tu pun teruk jugak..so we spent so much money utk hilangkan bau busuk itu! Huh..

We didn't use the fridge sampai la bau betul2 hilang..susahnya nak masak xde fridge..coz balik dr ofis pun sampai dh malam..nk kena beli raw material nak masak lg..

And..tertuduh adalah MY HUSBAND..until now dia tak mengaku..but I know is you..muahahaha..serba salah la tu..Sebab my husband tersangat la suka tutup suis..tabiat..and I'm the one yg slalu lupa tutup suis..so mmg confirm la dia orangnya..

So remedy taken..suis fridge is at the back of the fridge..so my husband takkan nampak ada switch yg on dlm rumah tu..haih..masalah org yg suka save electricity ni..

To be continued....

Gift Dilemma

Mama's Birthday Present

Apparently tetiba birthday mama next week..haa..dh panic

Top 5 in my mind:

No 1: Nescafe Dolce Gusto











The problem is according to my hubby, is not good for long term investment. We only can feed the coffee maker with its "nescafe dolce gusto capsule" which cost RM28 for 8 cups of latte.. What if nak minum coffee brand lain..xboleh la..But I'm still considering it ;)

No 2: Mini deep fryer

We don't have this at home. But since everybody is on diet herbalife except for me & my husband..do they need a fryer? Then get her a Salad Spinner..hehe..Baik punya perli

No 3: Bluetooth handsfree car kit

She really need this..Dia dah ada handsfree blackberry..But her phone is Samsung..setiap kali nk guna x connect to the device..but bila my hubby buat ok plak..xpasti problem device or org yg tak reti guna device tu..hehe

No 4: Spa Package

Boring..dah pernah bagi..groupon punya..mothers day ke apa ntah..

No 5: Tak tau!!!!Help!!!

2. Wedding Present for the one & only sister, Tita Kimi

Lagi la xde idea..becoz diorg akn stay in our house in Shah Alam..so kalau beli brg rumah..nk store kat mana..mama nk sponsor honeymoon..what else left?electronic appliances..cadar..lampu..kipas..crap!!I have 1 month left before the wedding!

2 Years of Breastfeeding Part 1

27.10.2012..my little Izzul Hakimi celebrated his 2nd birthday and bermaksud dah 2 tahun we had a mother & son moment..indahnya kurniaan Tuhan..too much interesting story pasal breastfeeding..start with Part 1 dulu la..

Tips untuk kejayaan ini
1. Support from husband
2. Tanya pada yang expert..membaca..
3. Correct way of latching
4. Never give up
5. Jangan campur formula milk please...once u start..kita akan rasa malas nak pump susu or direct feed dah..
6. Pump susu di office for working mothers
7. Enjoy ur mother and son moment as much as you can..

Ooh that is my beloved Tommee Tippee Breastpump..lihat la hasilnya..this picture was back in February 2012..my son was 1 year ++

I'm so proud of myself for being able to breastfeed my son up until now sedang membuat effort weaning off..tu citer post lain la..

So later we story mory Breastfeeding part 2 plak..
