My 1st Anniversary

Hari ni 25 May 2008, genap setahun usia perkahiwnan kami. Happy 1st Anniversary to my ever dearest husband, Mr. Suhaimi.

Syukur kepada Allah SWT... alhamdulillah, segala masalah yang timbul, ketidaksefahaman yang telah berlaku antara kami dalam masa setahun ni dapat kami berdua atasi. Kehidupan aku sekarang ni lebih tenang, bahagia dan ceria.... Husband sentiasa di sisi menemani di waktu susah dan senang. We have gone through all pains and having a good times with each other. Biasalah di awal perkahwinan memang macam2 masalah timbul. Gaduh sikit2 tu biasalah... Asam garam hidup berumah tangga. Lagipun u ols pun tahu kan, 2 orang yang berbeza dari semua segi, nak hidup sebagai suami isteri, of course ada yang serba tak kene. Sometimes tu, masing2 nak tegakkan pendapat sendiri.. tapi macam biase.. hidup itu suatu perjalanan..bila dah kahwin, banyak benda yang dipelajari. belajar untuk jadi seorang yang boleh tolak ansur, belajar untuk jadi bersabar, belajar jadi orang yang understanding, blajar untuk menerima kekurangan org lain, belajar memasak (hehehehe....) dan macam2 lagi lah.. tak boleh la ikut kepala kite jer, kene memahami tindakan dan perasaan pasangan kite.

Baru setahun berlalu, rasa macam cepat je, tapi perjalanan kami berdua masih jauh dan panjang. Banyak lagi rintangan dan 1001 masalah yang akan kami tempuh. Walau apapun yang mendatang.. aku berdoa supaya aku dan husband dapat menghadapi dugaan dengan sabar dan bersyukur kerana dengan adanya dugaan akan mematangkan kita, menjadikan kita lebih bersyukur dengan nikmat yang Allah beri dan meningkatkan sifat sabar dalam diri. Sesungguhnya bukan semua nikmat itu memberi kebaikan dan kebahagiaan kepada kita dan bukanlah pula semua musibah dan dugaan yang Allah beri itu akan mendatangkan keburukan pada kita..

Lagi sebulan lebih, kami akan melangkah ke suatu alam baru...alam sebagai ibu dan ayah... InsyaAllah.. masa tu kesabaran perlu di tahap extra maksimum, kerana suatu lagi kehidupan yang belum pernah kami rasai. But we are really excited to be in that world, hehehe... Semoga kasih sayang ini akan terus berkekalan selama-lamanya and I luv u so much!!!!

A special dedication to my husband...

How do i begin to tell you how lucky i am to have you in my life,
I'll start by saying what an honour it is to me to be your wife.
You're my best friend in good times,
and my rock in times of sorrow.
You're the reason for lovely yesterdays,
and my promise for tomorrow.
I never thought I could feel this loved until I became your wife.
You made this year the best years of my life.
May all the coming years be as happy and all cherry. today, tomorrow, and every day after, wishing us more love and laughter.
To my dearest husband, my sun and my fun..
Happy 1st Anniversary. With all my love.

PregnancyWeekly - Week 33 of Your Pregnancy

Hi Hanim,

your baby and your body are beginning to prepare themselves for labor and delivery in increasingly noticeable ways. Are you ready too?

Your Pregnant Body

(Braxton-Hicks and back pain)
Hanim, you may begin to feel (if you haven't already) periodic Braxton-Hicks contractions over the next few weeks. These are absolutely normal but can be somewhat uncomfortable at times. Your body is literally practicing for labor, and they give you a little taste of what it will be like. In addition to the contractions, you may also feel a variety of ac hes and pains on your lower ribs and pelvis. Pelvic pain is generally felt in the lower back and is caused more by your pelvis expanding in preparation for birth, than pressure from the baby. The rib pain is caused by pressure from your baby and uterus, probably feels like a dull ache, and can be felt all the way across the top of your abdomen. Ouch!

Your Baby

(It's getting cramped in there)
Your baby is now 17 inches from head to heel and weighs about 4.25 pounds, and you are probably both very aware that it is getting more and more cramped in there. Your baby's adrenal glands have developed and are producing hormones that stimulate your breasts to lactate. Are you thinking about food more in this home stretch? Seafood can boost the development of your baby's brain, which will develop most during the ninth month. However, the FDA recommends you consume no more than one serving per month of shark and swordfish due to potentially higher levels of methyl mercury found in these fish.

Your To-Do List

(A first-aid kit for your baby)
Hanim, while you have your hands free (relatively speaking of course), now is a great time to create a first-aid kit for your baby. You will inevitably need the basic items such as an aspirator, band-aids, and a thermometer, and keeping them together and at arms' reach will limit middle-of-the-night trips to the 24-hour pharmacy.

Tips from Other Moms

(You need more calcium)
Make sure you and your baby are getting enough calcium, which is crucial to healthy bones and teeth. Calcium-rich foods include milk, ice cream, and yogurt. Tums antacids, which are helpful for relieving that pesky heartburn, are actually rich in calcium too!

Stretch Marks During Pregnancy

As 75 to 90 percent of women get pregnancy stretch marks, odds are on that you might do too!

So what causes stretch marks?

Stretch marks during pregnancy are caused when your skin is pulled tight over your growing baby. Although skin is usually pretty elastic, when it's overstretched ... especially when rapid growth happens ... you can end up with itchy red or reddish brown raised stretch marks.

Sudden weight loss can also be a cause of stretch marks!

8 tips for preventing pregnancy stretch marks

1. Massage your skin with a massage brush to increase circulation;
2. At least twice a day apply lots of good quality moisturising cream all over your belly, breasts, thighs and anywhere else you think you might get stretch marks to super-hydrate your skin and keep it supple. Start early on in your pregnancy!
3. Get some regular exercise ... but don't take up something new without first consulting your doctor!;
4. Don't let your skin dry out ... pregnancy is time to be extra generous with your moisturiser ... especially if you enjoy long baths or hot showers, or if you've been out in a chill wind;
5. Eat foods rich in vitamins C and E, zinc and silica (which helps to form collagen), because they contribute to the overall health of your skin. Read about healthy diets during pregnancy;
6. Drink lots ... really lots! ... of water;
7. Avoid sun exposure ... always cover up in the sun and use a good high factor sun screen;
8. Continue using your moisturising creams or oils for at least 4 months after the birth or until you’re back to your target weight.
   

Using specially designed stretch marks cream or stretch marks oil will help you to regain your skin tone when your belly starts to shrink post-natally.

Selamat Hari Guru!!

To all teachers out there,let me wish you Selamat Hari Guru (Happy Teacher's Day).It is a noble profession since the dawn of human civilisation and without you,there is no continuity of human knowledge as we have nowadays. Thank you very much!

As an ex-student, I am always grateful to all the teachers who have taught me and also those non-teachers whom I have learnt from. But first thing, let me thank to parents who were my first teachers and have been continously teaching me until today. May Allah blessed and reward to both of you. I would also like to dedicate the wish for...

Cikgu Bakar, Cikgu Mokhtar, Cikgu SiholHafis, Cikgu Majeran, Cikgu Noraini and Cikgu Mohamad went I was in primary school (Sekolah Sri Benut) - Banyak yang dah tak ingat.

Cikgu Hamizah, Ustzh Zaharah, Ustzh Zaiton, Cikgu Shamsiah, Ustzh Siti Asiah, Ustaz Marjunid and the rest. (KTAM n SMKAJB) Banyak jugak nama yang aku dah tak ingat. Tapi wajah-wajah cikgu semua masih terlintas dalam kepala nih..cume nama je tak sampai kat otak. Maaf!!! :)

Dr. Asyraf Wajdi, Dr. Naziruddin, Dr. Alias, Prof. Dr. Ataul Huq, En. Azhar Mohamad, Dr. Mansor Ibrahim, Prof. Mohamad Aslam Haneef, Dr. Yusuf Saleem Ghulam Nabi, Dr. Rokiah Alavi, Dr. Ruzita Md. Amin, Dr. Selamah and Dr. Zubair. Ni antara lecturer2 yang pernah turunkan ilmu diorang pada aku masa aku study kat (Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia UIAM).

So I will end here by saying that I am personally grateful to all of you who have taught me. Thank You and once again, Happy Teacher's Day.

Pegi Check-up

Emm semalam aku pegi check-up, selalu aku pegi check-up kat Klinik DESA Pulau Meranti, oleh kerana kat klinik tu dah terlalu cramp and ramai sangat orang, pihak klinik tu suggest for those yang stay at Taman Putra Perdana (TPP) diorang ada sediakan Klinik "Satelite" kat area-area TPP tu. Hahaha...lucu kan nama klinik tu, Klinik "Satelite"....gheeeee. Bak kata husband aku, nama klinik ala-ala tajuk lagu Elyana - Bukan Satelit.

If people ask, "ko check-up kat mana?" aku pon jawab "Klinik Desa Pulau Meranti". Diorang mesti terbeliak biji mata...haaa ada lagi ke Klinik Desa kat Malaysia nih? ekekeke...isk jangan perkecilkan klinik desa tu tau... scan pon ada. Dasyat.... Apa nak buat, walaupun kerja kat Putrajaya pun, tetap kene ikut alamat tempat tinggal kita. Sebab masa first nak confirm aku pregnant, pegi Putrajaya. Tapi dia tetap kata kalau nak bukak buku Pink tu mesti buat kat Klinik Pulau Meranti sebab aku tinggal kat TPP.

So semalam aku pon pegi la check-up kat Klinik Satelite. Best jugak sebab tak ramai orang. Senang. Pegi pukul 8, pukul 8.45 tu dah siap dah. Boleh la aku masuk ofis cepat sikit. Semalam nurse tu dah suruh aku prepare beg baby n make sure buku pink tu mesti dibawa ke mana-mana. Bukan apa, in case kalau dah nak bersalin, tak payahlah balik rumah dulu amik beg n buku tu. Cuma aku tengah risau sebab aku belum booking hospital Putrajaya tu lagi. Diorang kata kene ada surat dari doktor yang refer aku ke Hospital tu untuk bersalin. Banyak keje la pulak. Surat tu aku tak dapat-dapat lagi.

next check up aku 21hb ni....

During My Pregnancy - Week 31

Breathless...

Tired...

Sleepless at night...

Emotional...

Swollen Feet

These are classic symptoms that i used to feel lately. Letih sangat, tambahan pulak sekarang ni sejak pindah ofis kat Minlon, aku kene drive ke ofis. Kalau dulu masa kat Putrajaya memang tak sentuh langsung stereng kereta tu. So, makin le bertambah penat skang ni. Selain tu aku dapat rasa yang aku makin susah nak tido malam sejak akhir-akhir ni, maybe sebab my baby getting bigger right now and her movements is very active. Sekali dia gerak macam buat cheerleading dalam perut ni. Aku yang jadi tak selesa sebab tak tahu which side yang dia sesuai. Aku mengadap kiri, dia gerak2, mengadap kanan pun dia gerak2. Masalahnya, aku tak pandai tidur menelentang sebab aku rasa aku susah nak bernafas. Bile tengok my husband lena je kat sebelah, rasa macam nak ajak dia rasa apa yang aku rasa waktu tu. Tapi tak sampai hati nak kejut dia. Hehehe....

Sometimes, tergelak bile tengok perut aku kejap mengelembung sebelah kanan, kejap sebelah kiri. Macam nak terkoyak pun ada jugak. Agaknye, dia luruskan kaki la..bersenam kot dalam perut. Takpun dia rasa sempit kot ruang dalam perut aku. Huh susah nak explain la..maybe u ols yang pernah mengandung je dapat faham apa yang aku cube sampaikan. Active betul anak ibu ni. Sekarang ni kalau berjalan pun cepat letih. Kalau kat ofis tu, nak pegi photostat kat bilik belakang tu pun rasa macam terpaksa je. Tapi yang klako tu bile time shopping barang untuk baby, semacam dapat satu energy yang turun dari langit sehingga tak sangka aku boleh berjalan sejauh tu. ekekekek anak ibu ni tau yang ibu nak beli barang untuk dia...tu yang dia kasi ibu dia extra energy kan???

Takpelah, yang penting ibu selalu doakan baby ibu ni sehat dan selamat ye. Aminn...

Learning Process

Hehehe akhirnya aku berjaya jugak menghasilkan gambar dengan menggunakan teknik photoshop. Terer kan aku? Yelah...aku bukan kalangan orang yang hebat dalam editing gambar2 nih. Tapi aku tetap berbangga dengan hasil kerja aku. Lepas ni mestilah aku akan memperluaskan lagi ilmu2 photoshop aku...eekekeke...tapi kalau aku terer sangat pun susah jugak orang lain nak cari makan.

Di sebalik nama

What Siti Faizah Hanim Means??

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings.You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun.Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience.You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along.But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

Happy Blogging

I wish to be more serious in blogging la… What happened dengan aku ni ek? Punyelah malas nak mengupdate blog. Ahaks!! Blog aku ni dah ada improvement dari segi layout n template. Haritu masa aku start blog, aku guna template yang biasa2 jer. Tapi dengan bantuan husband tersayang, yang menyokong my effort in blogging, dia siap tolong carikan design2 template yang lebih menarik. Siap bagi komen suruh update tu…dasyat betul husband aku. Good job dear!

Sebenarnye dalam otak aku sekarang ni, banyak yang aku nak story morry kat u ols. Cerita tentang aku yang tiba-tiba jadi shopper-holics since jadi preggy mom nih. Nak cerita pengalaman aku masa di awal waktu kehamilan which is known as in the ‘first trimester’..and surely i want to show to u ols baby’s stuff yang I dah beli… huh macam-macam la..cume yang jadi masalah ialah which part should I start first? Tu yang buat lambat nak update blog tuh. Hehehe (alasan yang bermakna tak?)

Since esok cuti, semangat tu berkobar-kobar la aku nak update blog ni..just wait yeahh….!!!
