For those who follow me on twitter, you might already seen me tweeting alot about athirah and beach. She would wear her swimsuit almost every other day regardless of the places we went. She went to One Utama couple of times wearing her swimsuit. Yes of coz i get lots of frowning faces looking at me, but those parents walking with kids, they gave me a big smile (im sure they know what im going through) hihi.

Athirah loves the beach. I guess she was making statement to the dad she wants to go to the beach by wearing the swimsuit almost everyday. In fact we found a solution, bought the two piece swimming attire, a top with the surfing pants, thus it wont look that obvious she’s wearing a swimming attire in public places. Anyway, syauqi had annual leave so decided to bring the kids for a beach retreat.

A big smile from athirAh when we told her we r going to the beach

Went to Teluk Cempedak Kuantan. Stayed at Hyatt Regency. We love the hotel because of the location. Food is accessible at anytime. Food is essential for my kids or else they will be cranky. And syauQi loves the mee curry at the local shop nearby ( in which we ended up having breakfast there every morning).

tgk gmbar ni rase mcm wuishh berderet anak saya, haha

We reached the hotel almost 5pm, changed the kids and off to the beach. Oh wont they happy! They were thrilled!!! Even Uwais enjoyed himself. Place him on the beach and i’m free be on my own, he doesn’t clings to me. Remember my trip to Penang, he wanted to “eat” the sand n relatives were so concerned, i told them, it’s okay, let him get a taste of it and he surely wont “eat” it again. And that was exactly what happen, he was sooo occupied with the sand and toys we brought along. He helped hArith to scoop sands on to the trucks. For a minute we forgot he is only 9 months young.

He was so amazed to see kite flying,

uZAir loves loves the sea. The waves were like a music to his ears. syauQi had problem taking care of him coz he fear nothing, he simply walk into the sea, regardless of the big wave. We then headed to the pool sbb syauqi tak larat dh nk jaga uZAir, the pool water temperature was rather warm, ideal for lil ones especially uwais. confident lak tu turun masuk sendiri, pusing masuk kaki dulu si kecik tu

Oh athirAh and her hat were not separable, loves all the shot i managed to get of her and the hat by okinokiyo

(pic by phone)

her two piece swimsuit, doesnt she look like a beach girl, no? takpe kecik2 biar merasa pakai cenggini, nanti sudah baligh, sila tutup aurat.

and harith

Now amiq gmbar hArith best coz i can atur him where to stand and he will corporate. Unlike athirAh, i need to chase her to get her shot.

And I manage to get a shot of uWais in okinokiyo hat as well

We went there with a group of friends (syauqi’s friends) for two nights and for the third nite, syauqi’s parents and sister came to join us. Dapat lah we all bernafas coz we had 6 extra hands to layan the kids. On the 3rd day it was more relaxing coz we didnt go anywhere, just laze around the hotel. Mase syauqi’s friends were around we went for food hunting. Malam makan seafood Paksu at Beserah, superb place if you are into chinese style cooking! Yummy!!! Next day we went Kemaman for tea smbil makan keropok leko and otak2.

We were out at the beach/pool average of 5 hours a day. Selagi tak gelap, selagi tu tak balik bilik. Caught athirah wanting to join the guys playing volleyball, we gave her a ball to play but she ended up in the court

We woke up with this view, masyaAllah

Before it gets to heavy to load the page, will stop here and make another blog post on the kids with their TukWan  (to be continued)

I dont usually attend advertorial event unless it is relevant to me. And this time around it was on diapers,baby massage and healthy living.Just the right combination that i need . Event was held at FitFor2 so things could not be any better. I could park my elder 2 at the Kidzports (thanks to my sister for accompany them). Uzair was still asleep when we sneaked out. Upon arrival had a chat with Debbie Lee, the instructor. She asked about my pregnancy background and the minute she heard i had 4 kids age 4 years and below she said she need to do an abdomen check on me to ensure it is not apart. If it is apart, i shouldnt be doing crunches and there are certain exercise to get my abdomen back in position. I was a lil panic of coz, alhamdulillah all is fine with my abdomen.

Debbie was talking about healthy living in which it hit me…gosh i havent been doing any form of exercise for quite sometime. or can i consider taking care of 4 kids 24/7 as exercise? We did the exercise with the gym ball. And the best part of it is, all exercise involved the baby.

even when the baby is asleep, i was able to join the exercise,

we were free to take a break at anytime to breastfeed our babies. uwais sound asleep, i then continue doing the other routines

or if the kids get restless, they were free to move about

after the exercise session, we had a lady to teach us on baby massage. Uwais were already asleep thus i couldnt do any massage on him but i surely took the opportunity to learn. She even taught us how to massage for babies / toddlers / kids who has constipation problem. my girl athirah somehow has problem doing the number 2 business. I learn from the lady, did it on athirAh and wallaa she even poo in her sleep!!! In fact if u have group of mommies with babies wish to learn baby massage, you can get this lady to come over to your house.

After the 2 session, we were given snacks. Oh honestly i always look forward for such events because of the yummy food the serve. And not only it is yummy, it is also healthy food!

Sorry i was too busy getting the food on my plate that i only remembered to take photos after i have done eating, oppss.

I really should give a serious thought on attending the classes by FitFor2 at Bangsar Village 2. I can bring Uwais along, so no reason not to go. The place is really kids friendly, they have a section of toys for kids, a nice comfy sofa to breastfeed and changing table for the babies. And dont worry if you forgot to bring diapers along coz they do provide Huggies diapers for free. Yes you heard me right, for free

Been wanting to put up photos of our recent customize birthday items. Alhamdulillah we have more orders coming in. Made 4 theme recently, Barney, Minnie Mouse, Nemo and a Pink Lilac Aqiqah. Will share the Barney n Minnie Mouse theme first, the other 2 event has not passed yet. Thus will only display it once the event is over, taknk jadi spoiler

Second week of raya, syauQi was on leave.  He came back from his usual badminton session late night and mumble to me who was asleep “bsok balik penang lah eh”. I didnt quite register it, woke up the next morning i wasnt sure i dreamt syauqi said it or he really did say it. I asked him, die pulak tgh deep sleep…tak register what im saying and ended up mumble ape tah. Then he woke up almost noon and i asked him again did he say anything about going back penang, die kate ade. I managed to pack everything within an hour,i think im doing pretty good now, packing for 4 lil ones and 2 adults all in one big suitcase. Aritu pegi cameron somehow diapers bawak tak cukup so syauqi kate, just bring one whole pack yg belum bukak lagi.masuk je 1 pack dlm kereta. So that was exactly what i wanted to do…tgk2 pack sume. bag masuk dlm keta BUT we lupe masuk the pack of diaper dlm keta. sbb slalu angkut bag je masuk. Smapi penang, jenuh nak cari kedai yg jual Mamy Poko.

Oh wait, sure u all dlm kepala dok piki all kind of food bile mention Penang. Sedara syauqi  kat mainland bukan island. so slalu balik tak mkn pun all those food org slalu go for and also im not a fan of mamak…so no way i nak gi Nasi Kandar Beratur, oh no thank you. Baru type pasal nasi kandar tekak dh kembang, tu blum bau lagi…

We balik for 2 nites, ajak syauqi jom gi Hard Rock Cafe for a night, then syauQi kuarkn No-do-not–negotioate-with-me punye statement “I am not spending anymore money” , maka saya pun terima seadanye, statement itu.  The trip back to Penang is more enjoyable now sebab elder 2 dah reti nak bersocial with the Tuk2 kat sane. The first night, syauqi wanted to take something in the car, it was late night, tgh nk amiq barang, uZair ran out of the house, had to chase after uZAir to get him into the house, tgh kabut angkat barang, angkat uZAir, suddenly i saw muka syauqi berubah, he was like “oh nooo”. Guess what, the key is in the car and the car autolock. Dannngggg. Called my sister to cari the spare key and was thinking of getting her to pos laju it first thing in the morning the next day. It was a Wednesday, so if pos khamis, we should get the key Friday, insyaAllah.

Bsok pagi tu was telling sedara what happen, and lucky us, one of syauQi’s cousin kebetulan ade meeting in Rawang and mmg pegi balik hari…fuhhh lega. Asked for his help to take the spare key and bwk blk penang. So malam tu kami dh dpt kunci. Alhamdulillah. Thank you Abang Din.

During the day we pinjam kereta sedara syauqi tuk jalan2. Siang tu tak tau nk buat ape…then syauqi kate jom gi island bwk budak main beach. Of coz lah bersinar mata the elder 2. I didnt pack attire for them to play at the beach, thus we went to the nearby shop to get set of attire tuk main kat beach. Elder 2 syok main pasir while uZAir ran straight to the water, jenuh syauQi nak jaga sbb ombak tgh kuat and somehow the surface tu akn tetiba dalam.

Elder 2 had a great time with the pasir

Before this hArith and athirAh tak berani sgt with sea, but PakTeh (or known as Tuk Teh to the kids) rajin layan them, brought them for a walk…terus naik syiok…siap sengaja jatuh2 kn badan bile wave datang.

habis PakTeh basah,he didnt bring extra clothes but sanggup basah. A big thank you to PakTeh, kids had a great time

ke hulu ke hilir athirAh ajak PakTeh jalan

ni hArith, dok asyik rebahkn badan whenever wave datang pastu tekejut air masin “Mom, it’s salty!!!”

Uwais was with the auntie,

I told MakTeh to put uWais down tp MakTek was worried uWAis mkn pasir. I told her takpe, biar je die rase, once dah rase sure taknk dah. And that was exactly what happen

ha ni MakTek tgh jerit ckp “No” kat uWais, baru nk masuk mulut, uWais tekejut…terus look back

i somehow allowed uWais to ‘taste’ it,

after he tasted it, terus main pasir without the need of me checking he masuk mulut ke tak

he surely had fun. Im pretty sure if i kept saying no to him, he will not enjoy the sand as much as he did, sebab each time nk sentuh je i dok ckp no no…all i had to do was to let him taste it a bit, and he will no longer wants to put it in his mouth but enjoy the sand play instead Alhamdulillah takde kejadian sakit perut lepas tu

Oh baru sedar, gambar Maksu takde sbb MakSu tgh gigih jaga barang2..hihi

Bile ajak balik, uzair budak paling tak puas hati

Pastu balik singgah makan kat Padang Kota di mana kami kena tipu harga…

p/s: kak linda if u reading this, bukak kn page ni kat MakTeh and PakTeh please, thanks

And yet another long hiatus from me. Not only i hardly have time to update this blog, but i hardly have the time to click on the shutters too. Sadly not much Raya photo were taken, no candid shots at all. Uwais clings to me almost all the time, leaving me lil or no chance at all to pick up the camera to take shots of the day.

Our raya arrangement is just like previous years. Alhamdulillah syauQi had off days on Raya. While the rest went for the Eid Prayers, i get the kids ready, had our Eid breakfast and off to my aunt house in PJ, just a quick pit stop then off to my in-laws in Kota Damansara. We spend our day there and left just before Maghrib.

Mom dah bukak her cast few days before raya but still need the walking frame to walk about, so on Raya day she decided to be on the wheelchair senang nak move about.

It wasnt easy to get a perfect family photos. Thus here are among the attempts we did. We couldnt get rid of the balang kuih from athirAh. It was either athirah and the balang or no athirah.

father-in-law came to join in, tgk2 athirah lesap hilang,

and sis-in-law’s attempt at bringing athirAh back into the picture

(saying out loud Selamat Hari Raya)

notice one thing? Uwais remain in the same pose through out all the photos

I didnt manage to convince athirAh purple is the new pink, thus ended up buying her that kurung which has some flowers in purple. That was the best i could get as she wanted all pink.

Next entry will be on our last minute plan to Penang for social (family) obligation
