New Journey

Alhamdulillah, it is almost 2 weeks journey with my new company. I prefer to keep it secret where am I moving on for now.

Anyway, since we have 2 Sheila in our office, they prefer to call me "Ella". Not bad, huh?

So far, I'm happy here. As the pay is higher, of course the job responsibility is more. But I take the challenge & get myself prepared.

I start working as early as 8.30am in the morning, leaving our home & send Sofea to school as early as 6.30am. Luckily, The office hour ended at 5.30pm, so I will drive like mad to meet little baby boo.

I do not have so much time for now to daily update my blog. Plus I'm using ipad and I do not know where the hell I can upload the photo too. This is too bad.

But I still actively updated either my FB or insta.

Till we meet again, please wish me luck with my new journey to be better.

We are going back to our hometown tomorrow, my sister getting engaged this weekend! Can't wait 😍

Ayam Pandan

Another makan-makan session.

I kinda obsess with Ayam Pandan after Solah introduced me once at Homst Restaurant.

For good, we even went there few times just to have the Ayam Pandan. So yummy :)

Recently, I tried the frozen Ayam Pandan, it is homemade. Imagine, the whole house was overloaded with pandan smells when I fried this.

Oh my, mine looks a bit hitam. Overcook! But the taste still awesome.

Have a try. You can order here MyLoyangPanas. Many more kuih muih. It is COD basis.

Super Mommy!

Happy Weekend!

I'm fasting today (Hari Asyura')...

As usual, I will do all the laundry, cleaning, cooking and whatever ---ing which housewife usually do everyday on weekend! Just because I'm a working lady.

To be honest, I always get jealous everytime I read this :(

I feel a bit upset, just because I think even I'm not a housewife but I contribute more than what housewife do. In terms of monetary to help my husband :) *Insert some jealousy*

Ok, I'm done.

Whatever it is, if you are a mommy, no matter you are mommy of 1, 2, 3...or even 20! I want to say out loud that we are GREAT!

I came across all these photos via Pa&Ma. Have you ever facing all these scenarios?

It may look simple & sometimes funny, but hey, this is all mommy business okay!

For whatever reason, mommy is the one to look for :) I feel so honoured. This is the real AWESOME.

As I do all the things, sometimes I totally forget to have me-time as well.

The BIGGEST challenge ever to become a mommy is giving birth. I'm glad I managed it well for my first time. It was so wonderful how I treasured the moment.

After all, I still feel so grateful that Allah loves woman so much. We never be alone. He always put us in good hands.

Thanks Allah for grant all my doa much more than I asked for. My dream is to have a man who can understand me without uttering any single word and you made him for me. Alhamdulillah.
Much LOVE!

Esok 10 Muharram (Hari Asyura')

Assalamualaikum readers,

Jom sama-sama kita puasa esok hari. In Shaa Allah, mudah-mudahan segala dosa yang lalu dihapuskan.

Fadhilat Puasa Hari ‘Asyura

Sesungguhnya kelebihan yang dijanjikan oleh Rasulullah SAW bagi sesiapa yang mengamalkan puasa sunat ini amatlah besar. Antaranya ialah apa yang diriwayatkan oleh Qatadah (maksudnya): “Bahawasanya Rasulullah SAW ditanya tentang puasa hari ‘Asyura, lalu Baginda SAW menjawab: "Ia menghapuskan dosa setahun yang lalu". (Hadis sahih riwayat Imam al-Tirmizi).

Dalam riwayat yang lain pula disebutkan bagaimana Rasulullah SAW begitu mengambil berat dan memberi keutamaan kepada amalan puasa pada hari ‘Asyura ini. Hal ini sebagaimana yang disebut oleh Ibn Abbas bahawa beliau pernah ditanya tentang puasa pada hari ‘Asyura ini, lalu beliau berkata: “Aku tidak pernah ketahui bahawa Rasulullah SAW berpuasa sehari kerana mencari kelebihannya di atas hari-hari yang lain kecuali pada hari ini, dan Baginda tidak berpuasa sebulan kerana mencari kelebihan ke atas bulan-bulan yang lain kecuali bulan ini, iaitu: Ramadhan”. (Riwayat Imam Muslim)

Jegging?

*Facepalm*

Yes, I have to admit "I'm a bit jakun"! Hahaha.

Actually, my friend who's staying in Japan help me to buy this. I was so excited to receive the parcel yesterday & I posted a photo via instagram.

There you see, I only get to know this pants called Jegging! Hmmm...

Sofea Turns 1!

Hello...

Did you know that I'm no longer a baby? Mommy said I'm officially a toddler...hooray!

I've grown so much over the last 365 days. Urm, I couldn't believe in myself!

I've been eating quite a variety of food nowadays. It's only natural since I'm 1 year old and...

I have 4 teeth! and 2 more are coming to come out :P

Mommy as usual been concerned about my dental cleanliness eversince I cut my first tooth. So, I let her to brush my teeth :D but I do not know why I love to bite the brush. Teething could be!

My oh my, now I know why birthday is the day all kids look forward to! My first birthday was extra special too. Sadly, there wasn't a party since mommy said we will have DOUBLE celebration soon: My birthday party & house warming.

But it doesn't matter for me because I was surrounded with so much love & not forgetting the presents! I spent the whole day all excited.

Little did I know, there was a surprise in stored for me since mommy & daddy were busy decorating the house with balloons. What's a party without balloons, right? I was all over excited playing with the balloons & screamed too!

Aunty Memey & Uncle Boy came over in the evening.

Then, they brought out my very first birthday cake...yummy chocolate cake!

They sang me with birthday song and mommy helped me to blow the candle, cutting cakes & make my wish :)

I was so happy!

So, there you have it, a simple birthday celebration with the people I care about the most.

Mommy said to me, "No matter how old you are, you will always be my baby". So sweet!

Happy birthday to me ;-)

Alhamdulillah, selamat!

These few days, I pergi keje tumpang Solah. Kereta rosak. Dugaanlah, kan? Saje nak manja2 dengan poket yang kering ni.

So, my daily routine start as early as 5.30 am (Don't question me what time I woke up if kereta tak rosak! Haha).

Solah masuk keje awal, 7.30am ok! Dan I masuk keje pukul 9am. Tapi dah terpaksalah pergi awal, nama pon menumpang ;-)

So, by 6.30am, I will wake Sofea up and off to Sofea playschool. Jalan pon tak berapa nak nampak lagi. Sobs. Pity Sofea. Sofea will be at her school by 6.45am.

Then, off we go to work. I will reach office by 7am.

Today, was not a good day but as the title goes, Alhamdulillah, selamat. We nearly involved in an accident.

Sofea cried when I handover her to her teacher not as usual, she seems happy with no crying. Berat hati mommy tapi dah nak cepat, takut daddy lewat, so I keluar je pagar :( Maybe, Sofea dah bagi sign kat I, to be careful.

Waktu tukar lorong before reaching my office, I pusing je belakang, gah! Lorry! Another few inches to bang us. Huh! The driver did his emergency break. Lucky.

Then, dah mommy reached office so early, I had my breakfast. Tapi tapi tapi...today that Ordinary Nasi Lemak turn to Nasi Lemak Pedas Berapi! What a bad day.

Anyway, since it's Friday, I should feel glad of it.

Looking forward to kiss my baby boo later in the evening!

ID-to-be?

Hey! Time flies really fast. Tomorrow is another new year to welcome. Alhamdulillah :)

Since we are moving to our new house, my deco mood is ON and this is why I keep the SILENT mode ON to my blog. I'm more to interior design. Owh, please!

I think Solah is so annoyed with my trillion ideas. Hahaha.

Trust me, we just done with the curtain as this is my priority-PRIVACY.

More to come which is now waiting in my wishlist.

Below are some of the photos which I hope my new house will be. Hehe. Berangan!

I frequently mention to Solah, "Tak exactly sama pon takpe, at least looks a bit similar" Hahaha.

As you enter my house, I want to amaze my guest with adorable mirror with stunning console table.

Solah did set correct expectation as he want our living room to be black, white & grey. Hurm. So far, we are meeting the mission ;-)

But I add on to his idea, "Ikut research I (Chewah, mcm hebat sgt!), kene tambah cushion colourful, baru naik seri". Hahaha.

I show him this photo, tapi tapi tapi...Solah jeling je kat I...Hukhukhuk...

White kitchen cabinet!

In my dreams (for not sure how many years), to have this laundry room! Half way done :)

And...for now, I only manage to have this kind of "colour-coded" arrangement which perfectly hung in our new look wardrobe :)

Few days back, I did some survey on the furniture. I do not know why, but I love to have this! Seriously!

Off topic, Sofea will turn 1 in 4 days time. Her birthday party will be delayed to another to-be-confirmed date due to few reasons. BUT of course, we will celebrate with a small one first.

Another New Chapter...

Alhamdulillah. I think Solah & I are at that part of our lives, sorting out our future to make it more comfortable life. Trust me, I'm learning every single day to become a better person. I need more saving as Sofea is growing, we need to accommodate insurance, her college funds and what not. It is everything!

Because in fact, like it or not, money is important. Love is awesome & dandy, but it won't pay a gazillion bills which being addressed to you.

We had good talk about what our family future is like. Recall what a bittersweet moment. Gulp!

Then, when we started to realise certain things, we decided to have new chapter in life. Yes, of course, with God want it to be.

First, we're looking for new job. Not to say, current salary is not enough to feed us, but as an ambitious person, I love to see things beyond. It's time to move on.

Alhamdulillah, both of us got the new job with BETTER PAY of course! 

Bye bye P1. I don't know should I feel sad or happy. 

Second, we will be MOVING to our little sweet cottage soon. And this time it will be permanent there! U got what I mean :)

Third, as Sofea will become a toddler so soon (Yes it is in 1 month time!), we decided to send her to SCHOOL. Yeay! They're not only taking care of Sofea but they offer brain development program which I think it is good for Sofea. Hey, they got grooming as well!

The best part is, we were looking into new furniture for our new house. So, it's shopping :P Then, I realized, oh man, it's hard to choose one coz there have plenty!

But Sofea chose one for us ;-) Thanks Sophie!

Blackout?

We got a chance to sleep one night in the hotel last Thursday :D

We reached home by 7.30pm, guess what??! It was blackout! We stayed & waited for few hours before decided to find a hotel.

Daddy decided not to wait any longer, Sofea dah sweating, main dalam gelap. Hehehe.

So, daddy said, "You pegi naik, kemas baju Sofea, baju kerja i, barang mandi, etc., kita cari hotel...."

Hooray! Tido hotel, tak pasal-pasal.

This is happy Sofea with her biscuits :)

Kids e World!

It was hard to see Sofea smiles during her fever. So, she owe us the pretty-pretty smiles. 

Last weekend, we spent some time for shopping at IKEA & as we went to IPC Shopping Centre, I found out this Kids e World at 2nd floor. 

My first target was to bring Sofea to KidZania but it is too early for her to be there. Later okay, Sophie! Promise :)

She really enjoyed & had fun! Hooray! The smiles tell me everything :)

One thing about Sofea, people really attracted by her. See, she easily getting friends! And you know what, her friend's name is Sofea too! Hahahaha. Sound famous ;-)

And this is mommy & daddy been super excited!

Sophie, zaman mommy & daddy, takde benda-benda macam ni tau. 

It's amazing how this little girl can give me a lot of strength. Mommy loves Sophie!
