At Six Months

It wasn't the best day to take photos since it was cloudy and chilly outside. But I was so excited that it has been six months now.


I gained 10 lbs already (from my normal weight). I've been experiencing shortness of breath and pressured tummy almost everyday. And sometimes I have heartburn. Amin said it will stay like this for the next 3 months so I better get used to it :S

Around the House

We have been busy since last week rearranging our new furniture and doing some house cleaning. Up till now, I would say we are at 40%. More things to do with our basement and bedroom. But don't worry, Amin did almost everything whenever he is free - with the wiring and cleaning and putting things together; while I only did the shopping part :D

We got our new 46" TV first a month before we went back to Msia. It was a very good deal and affordable: price was $1,500+ and we got financing 0% interest for 18 months (which basically means we pay about $50 per month only for 18 months without interest). But Amin couldn't get the TV setup and wiring done yet at that time, and all the cables looked so messy on the floor urghh! Why? - because we need a new audio tower to store our gaming consoles and the receiver for our home theater, and keep the cables in order.

And after we got back from Msia, I had a very serious back pain from sitting on our old couch. I used muscle rub almost everyday to soothe the pain, and that was when we decided to get new furniture for our living room.

We bought new sofa, loveseat, audio tower and carpet from Nebraska Furniture Mart. It is a wholesale store like IKEA that has a variety of selections and sells branded furniture at a lower price.

The new living room :) I love it so much and I think it's worth it!

The audio tower looks great too!

And thanks to Amin for his hard work. This was the most tiring part (figuring out which cable goes where) and he did this in 2 days!

Amin then set up the old TV in our bedroom. Now I can watch TV while on the bed, and I feel like I'm being pampered hehehe :D

Now, moving on to the basement: we plan to setup our old entertainment center down there with an old TV we got from Amin's friend. Plus the old futon and couch. Will update more when it's done :)

And here are some photos for Janet: Irfan toys

Lego Mega blocks. Like new.

Little tikes slide. Like new too.

Playskool vacuum. Looks okay.

Playskool mower. This looks okay too, but I think the most used among other toys.

Also the little people garage: didn't have photo because it is in the basement already.

Amin said.. too much toys!!! *pening*pening*

Irfan di rumah

I have sooo many things to work on tapi rasa macam malas sgt. Alih2 this few days rasa mcm rajin je nak update blog huhu.
Went to take some family pictures at the studio yesterday. Irfan did pretty good, no tantrums or drama syahdu. But he was so hyper la tak tahan nak jaga. Lari sana sini, jerit2 buat muka tak malu betul la.
The lady that took our pictures keep tickling him to make him laugh for the photo shoot, and also main2 peekabo. Then I saw Irfan covering his face with both of his hands and he peeked through his fingers, then took his hands apart and said 'Boooo!' to the photgrapher. Muahahah anak aku pandai main peekaboo rupanya. Ntah mana dia belajar, I bet from the daycare. Sedihnye Zuhri and I didn't even know that he knows how to play peekaboo until today. So ignorant la...mak bapak ni.

Below are some pics that I took last week. Irfan showing off his muscular , comel lote, tanned body. Nak practice jadi model ni huahua.

Tengokla ketiak kecik dia tu. Selalu gomol-gomol huhuhu

Look at his One pack abs... booolaaattnye perut buncit gomol-gomol lagi

Irfan chuckle. Cute.

Weekend's activity

Selalunye weekend memang la penat and rasa kejap sgt. Especially when you have a little one, a toddler to be more specific. Nak kemas rumah, masak, basuh baju, day out activity, main2 dgn irfan, getting ready for the week ahead.. i wish the world could just stop spinning for couple of hours so that I can get caught up. See my weekend schedule doesn't include keje langsung that's why I was so behind in work and nampak mcm pemalas. urgh.

Anyway yesterday we went to Tulsa, 1.5 hr away from Indy. It'a a very busy city ala2 tempat Gem but the traffic is way crazier. Did a little shopping, last2 terbeli banyak la pulak.
Initially we wanted to get a trike for Irfan, then dah kat Babies R us pegi tgk stroller pulak so in the end bought a trike and a MacLaren stroller (ergh memang tak patut Irfan dah ade 2 strollers) for Irfan. The thing is we have a Zapp Stroller yg tak boleh recline and kesian sgt bila tgk Irfan tido dlm stroller tu. Mcm sakit tengkuk je sbb tido kepala tersengguk2 kan. When we tested the Maclaren Irfan memang suka sgt so we decided to go for it dah alang2 ade 20% off.
Both Zuhri and I were so amazed by this stroller - lightweight, easy to handle, Irfan sgt suka and comfortable in it so beli jela. I think Gem should get this one too for the baby.

This is the trike that we bought for Irfan. Memula nak beli the one that cost $90 then when we actually look at it rasa mcm kecik pulak. Memang the design is for 9-36 mo but looks too small for Irfan yg makin tinggi. Plus the price is just way too $$$ so we settled with this one for $40.

I also had a hair cut yesterday. Zuhri thinks my new look is sexy auuuwwww...
Hari ni pulak nak pegi photoshoot. Dah lama nak get a family portraiture in a stuudio- we have a DSLR tp jarang amik gamba sekali. It's either me + Irfan or Zuhri + Irfan in the picture. Ye la kalau tak sape nak jadi cameraman kan. I wanted to do this since Irfan baby lagi tapi takde la masa... until at one point Irfan kena kawasaki so memang la tak terbuat kan. Hope the session wil turn out good. Puhleasseee Irfan behave ok... jangan la cranky nanti...

Laugh of the day

My conversation with Zuhri this morning went like this..

Me: KB mimpi something yg pelik tadi..
Zuhri: Mimpi ape?
Me: KB mimpi Amal (Zuhri's youngest sis) dapat offer letter to Jepun, dentistry kat Kinokawa U
Zuhri: Huh?
Me: Tu la pelik sampai termimpi2... I'm suprised I remember the U's name K.I.N.O.K.A.W.A (ntah ade ke U nama tu kat Jepun tak tau la huhu)
Zuhri: Ler..
Me: Ye la asyik tgk status Amal kat FB... waiting for phonecalls on that interview to Jepun
Zuhri: You know what that tells you?
Me: ....what? (I care too much about your family ke? in law mithali ke huhaua don't think so)

Zuhri: It means you had too much facebook going on. Stop looking at facebook je.
Me: Ahahhahaha Whatever (didn't expect he's going to say that, mcm tak related to my mimpi je huhu)

More videos of the Daycare

Some videos of Irfan at the Day Care

Both of the videos were taken early this month. The narrator is Ms Brenda, Irfan's teacher. The other lil guy in the video is Irfan's classmate, Cayden.
