Cold Water Dyeing info

2011-12-16T08:35:00.001+08:00

This cold water fiber reactive MX dye is known the world over. Use it for immersion dyeing, tie dye, batik, airbrush, garment dyeing, screen printing, spatter painting, gradation dyeing and more! This is the only dye you can fix without using heat in some form. A cold water, concentrated dye, which you add to tap water, this is the most vivid of all dyes for cellulose fibers. Procion dyes are permanent, colorfast and very washable. You can easily create a palette of colors ranging from light pastels to deep, vibrant hues.

Typically a 2/3 oz bottle will dye more than 1 pound of fabric. Very bright colors will require more dye; pastel colors will require less. A 2/3 oz bottle uses 2 cups regular salt in the mix, then after dyeing, add 1/4 cup of soda ash (in water) to set the dye.

Jacquard packages many of their products in the same size jars, approximately 2" high. Some are liquids, some powders. Procion is a powder, and fills the jar less than half way depending on the color. You are still getting a NEW FULL jar, however.

Re: Wrap Dyeing Tips
I'd like to add my step by step instructions. In NO WAY am I saying this is the right way to do it, but it worked great for us!

It took awhile for me to come up with a plan, but then once I wrote it down and got organized we were good to go, so I'd thought I'd share!

We used Dharma Procion dyes. Also we did not use any of the extras, due to the warnings etc... but my results were perfectly even, no freckling, marbling etc...

First thing is to figure out how many gallons your machine holds on the smallest load. Mine was 10, which is average, so we'll use that as a guideline. Unless your wrap is over 8 lbs (which it won't be) the smallest load is fine.

1. Wash your wrap in HOT water, no detergent. Put somewhere clean and keep it wet.

2. Fill you machine again using WARM water. Once full, lift lid and add 10 cups of non-iodized salt. Close lid, let agitate a couple of minutes.

3. Mix 4 TBS dye (this is variable based on your colors, but in the ball park of what to use) in an old tupperware container with just enough water to make a paste. Then add another cup of warm water, mix again, and pour into washing machine. Let agitate another few minutes.

4. Add wet wrap.

5. Let agitate 20 minutes. You will need to periodically lift lid and reset the timer so it remains on the agitate cycle and does not drain your dye bath. Also periodically open lid and untwist wrap.

6. Measure 1 1/4 c. soda ash and put in an old tupperware container.

7. In another container put approx. 1/4 c. warm water, then sprinkle in a few TBS of the soda ash in and mix. This gets messy/ clumpy. Try to keep it as smooth as possible. Open lid and push your wrap to one side. Pour in the soda ash/ water mixture, making sure it does not directly touch your wrap. Close lid and let agitate a couple of minutes.

8. Repeat step 7 until all of your 1 1/4 c. soda ash ahs been added to the machine. This will take about 15 minutes, but don't rush it!

9. Close lid, let agitate 20- 60 minutes depending on depth of color. (I did 40 minutes) Periodically stop and untwist wrap.

10. Let finish the cycle when your time is up.

11. Do another cycle on cold.

12. Do a HOT cycle. Very important, this is what bonds the dye to the fabric so your LO doesn't ingest it!!

13. Do as many HOT cycles until the water is perfectly clear. (For me it was only 1, but dark colors can take MANY!)

14. Dry your wrap and enjoy!!

Another..?

I love this... will gush about it later when I do a stash entry

2011-12-08T23:18:00.003+08:00

tgh mood kiasu beli baby stuff... dah beranak baru tergedik2 nak beli... sebabnye baru discover Ayn layan gadgets... dulu Amir, letak dalam rocker nangis, tido dalam cot takleh, pasang cot mobile pun amir tak layan.. play gym mat pon Amir tak layan.. yang die mau is human contact jek...

We first discovered Ayn layan gadgets is masa letak dalam
swing and aku ON kan mobile (yg pusing2 tu)... and die tengok mende tu for ~30mins bfore tertido...

and lately I'm taking care of Amir and Ayn at the same time... and Amir consumes most of my time.. nak makan la, nak mandi la, nak itu la, sepah sana, tumpah sini... panjat sana.. die memang high needs child masa kecik.. and now strong willed child and hyper .... so nasib baik Ayn chillex and aku kena ada gadget yg bagi Ayn chillex at time2 Amir demands my attention ...

so first is the mobile heheheh.. punye la sakan compare mobile and aku nak mobile yg lagu2 die soothing... (mobile murahan lagi2 die annoying nak mati.. we've heard some.. bingit)... and aku nak lampu2 hahhaah ngada..

anyways, lepas survey2... aku berkenan ngn Tiny Love punye
mobile... tiny love ni mmg kompeni yg create toys for child development.. harga pon boleh tahan tapi aku nak gak... added bonus, ade remote ctrl heheee

Ayn suka.. Rafiq pon kata Ayn suka...

Next, aku nak carik tempat to put Ayn down to watch TV... this is part of my masterplan to make her watch the "Your Baby Can Read" punye CDs ... yg aku dah download from torrent. :P

so this is todays catch.. redeemed my maybank treatspoints for this... best!

next thing to obsess about.. play gym and softbooks n teethers.. hehee... meroyan kot aku dulu amir xlayan mende ni semua...

and a pic coz she soo cute

blogpress, when the hell are u gonna have the update u promised us?

photo of the day

Adriana's storchenweige Ulli.. 3.6m.... this size is soooo perfect for us right now.. walaupun "dense" ala2 girasol.. tapi sebab dok buat 1 layer carries je, tak rase panas but still supportive.. this is my go-to wrap right now... due to length and sbb x fragile.. muntah, basuh je dlm WM.. takde nak tertarik tarik (pull) thread ke ape..

reinfored ruck tied tibetan

Ruck TIF (tied in front)

Ruck TT (tied tibetan)

so convinient for quick ups and downs... untuk sidai baju, sapu/mop lantai time2 Ayn cranky..

taking a breather from mopping with camwhoring session

and I cant believe I can FWCC with a 3.6m (albeit tied at the tippy tails)

anyways, i bought a size 3.6m wrap also... on the way... wait with me 😝😍😘

Best ! Info sini .

Masa baru2 lahir

Masa umur 2 bulan.. omg! how time flies!

Tak guna sangat pon....
bila die nak berjaga tapi aku nak buat kejer or poop..
leh aa dia layan cermin and bende pusing2 tu 10-15 mins
or bila pagi... aku mmg sgt2 nak tido and malas nak "menidurkan" Ayn...
ku bedung, letak je atas tu... sumbat puting.. ON swing, on lullabye.. bye bye Ayn...

sebab swing ni kat tingkat atas.. and amir usually lepak kat atas.. TV kat atas...
so Ayn dok tingkat bawah sebab amir bising gile...letak Ayn atas swing pon tak guna..

saje teringin nak swing gini.. gatai sebnanye....aku yg teringin.. empuk and cozy looking kan?

My first Indio, PUDER (Powder Silk Indio) ! and I'm in love!
Powder is the color, Silk is the wrap type, Indio is the pattern (Indio is tikar pattern)

This wrap is made by Didymos (german brand)
This is my 2nd Didymos wrap (that I actually bought, others were loaned to me).
My first Didymos wrap is a size 6 diamond weave, 55% Linen in Azur (aka the beast)
My Puder is a size 7 meaning it is 5.2 meters...
It is longer than what I wanted... I want a size 6 which is 4.6 meters
But at the time.. size 7 was much cheaper than even a size 4 and 5... so beli jela size 7.

My first impression bila bukak package.. ur kidding me!
This cannot be a size 7! ringan and folds so thin! (Aku dah terbiasa ngn other wrap Didy yg more tebal)
Bila unfold... yep, mmg la size 7 ... huish camne nak handle panjang gini...
I might send it to get chopped short..
So thin, but supportive... rase nak nangis pon ade sebab its so awesome!
Totally newborn-worthy wrap

Puder is made from 70% organic cotton in Powder and Pink colored threads.
Also 30% silk (white color)

More wrap pics and info HERE

Can be bought new HERE or HERE... (aku beli 2nd hand jek)

SEDETIK LEBIH

Setiap nafas yang dihembus

Setiap degupan jantung

Aku selalu memikirkanmu

Dalam sedar dibuai angan

Dalam tidur dan khayalan

Aku selalu memikirkanmu

Ternyata ku perlukan cinta dari dirimu sayang

Barulah terasa ku bernyawa

Kasihku…ku amat mencintai kamu

Kerana kau beri erti hidup

Ku kan terus mencinta sedetik lebih

selepas selamanya

Di kala penuh ketakutan dengan badai kehidupan

Ku bersyukur adanya kamu

Biarlah kehilangan semua yang dimiliki di dunia

Asal masih adanya kamu

last 17th July MBW ade gathering.. tapi buat picnic style... saje santai seblum puasa...

lokasi nye best ade shallow stream and playground... amir penakut nak dok dalam .. and he's more of a water player than sand player... gi beach tak penah lagi kitoranf main sandcastle.... to him, why bother with sand when u have water and waves....

off topic... masa kat langkawi, main beach n ombak.. ombak tinggi (xla tinggi tapi tinggi dari amir).. so setiap kali ombak aky cakap .. "ohmygod"... now he thinks ombak is "ohmigod"... iskk

anyways ... potluck piknik... amir pon excited... sebut "picnic.. picnic"... recognize picnic setting dari katun wordworld ... aku potluck, bawah biodegradable trash bag jek... muaahahaaaa .. food was awesome..

Topic harini.. baby carriers...
subtopic: Wrap conversion.

So firstly, kena define wrap....
woven wrap to be precise ..woven means wrap yg tak elastic...
wrap ni just sehelai kain panjang....
can be 2.5 meters to 7 meters...
depends on ape ko nak buat ngn wrap and size badan ko..
for me, I would do 4.5 meters untuk longest carry requirement (banyak nak lilit)...
or people use 2.7 meters for rebozo carry (ikat cam kain batik lepas, 1 shoulder carry)

wrap ni kain yang ditenun khas untuk carry babies...
ade banyak jenis... ade linen, cotton, silk, hemp, wool...
ade campuran 50%linen and 50% cotton.. 40% linen... 30% silk.. etc
the possibilities are endless..

also cara tenunan pon berbeza....
pattern aa .. diamond weave... indio weave etc
membuatkan perasaan pemakai rase berbeza...
so far yang aku tau ramai yang menyimpan and mencari Vatanai - pamir..

There’s a Czech company, Vatanai, that makes a particular wrap (Pamir) that is handwoven by one elderly woman (every one ever created was woven by this one artist) on one very old loom. Because this is the only way these particular wraps come to be, they are very, very limited, and the runs are not regular because if she is unable to weave for any amount of time (injury, illness, etc), production stops (Pamir is currently out of production). There is quite a bit of buzz about the magical wrapping qualities of Pamir in the babywearing community, and therefore these wraps are understandably a bit hard to come by and the prices are rather higher than retail. There is only one vendor in the United States that carries Vatanai. The retail price for Pamir is around $200, though they can regularly be seen resale for around $800 on the babywearing forums or ebay.And only 5 made per year :- http://slingomama.blogspot.com/2011/03/vatanai-pamir-interview-with-maria.html

even with pamir, each one akan rase berbeza with the next one (so I am told laa)

Didymos ni pulak kompeni german yang buat baby wrap.. suka buat limited edition wrap....

One of the Fall 2008 wool wrap releases from Didymos, a German manufacturer of wraps (or Tragetuecher), has become very popular and sought after for both the purported wrapping qualities and the color combination. It is now fetching 2-4 times the retail price. Didymos also wove a few 50% silk blend wraps. Their 50% silk indio was much more limited than their 30% silk indio (both LEs) and while the 30% blend regularly brings about $200 in resale, one of the 50% blends was just sold at auction and got $2,000!

So you see, wraps yang limited edition memang sangat MAHAL NAK MATI !

Anyways... harini nak cakap pasal Girasol wraps....
sebab Girasol ni sangat sesuai nak buat conversion...
aku suka girasol wrap especially Rainbow wraps sebab ianya sangat colorful !!
Rainbow pon ade banyak jenis Rainbow... earthy rainbow, snow rainbow, Night rainbow, mamami rainbow... Xela Rainbow and many many more!

Remeber this?

My Earthy Rainbow SSC Conversion by O&A

Sold to a special mama who I know loves it..
and doesnt really churn her stash on a whim...
(but she might buy more stuff on a whim lol)

Girasol Earthy Rainbow wrap

Earthy Rainbow dipakai sebagai wrap

Anyways wraps ni memang best bila diconvert....
wrap punye texture are soo awesome! lembut and supportive...
(usually, depends on what wrap)

Ape maksud convert?
Means it no longer jadik wrap...

Can be converted into Ring Sling - 1 shoulder carrier

Die boleh jadik SSC (ade buckles kat pinggang and shoulder straps)

Die boleh jadik Mei Tai (ade 4 long straps...2 ikat bahu, 2 ikat pinggang)

Die boleh jadik Pod (Poedagagi - 2 straps saja)

Boleh jadik Half Buckles... (Buckle kat waist and wrap straps for shoulder straps)

I LOVE GIRASOL'S RAINBOWS !!!

What was up Doc?

2011-07-26T06:01:00.001+08:00

had a long entry about wrap
conversion typed up... tapi nak letak a few pictures... so will post that later....

now just some random photos...

we tried Homst shah alam on saturday night... I tot it was good... definately comparable to Muhibbah... and pricess cheaper here... the sirap limau is TDF, sedap sial!

and the sotong goreng tepung was tasteless on its own... tak masin... memula nyesal kejap sebab order medium... but lepas cicah ngn sos die, baru terangkat! layan gile....

anyways I thought everything was good.. but stress coz szehuan soup banyak gile and xdapat abis 2 people, shouldda just had the tofu punye kuah as kuah.. btw, tofunye dish die also had ayam... so rafiq kata ginger chicken xyah order next time... rafiq tak makan chicken dish tu, just me... hahaha 2 people sket sgt makan nak perabih macam2 dish...solution: kena bawak ramai org..

we took firefly to langkawi on standby tickets.. sebab we were already on standby MAS and 2-3 hari sebelum departure dah penub... berdebar gak aku naik
propellar aircraft ni... but take off was smooth... climbing ade sket ala2 dutch roll.. descent was ear popping.... refer below

pastu nyemak ngn aku gak

yesterday, I bought a baby carrier/sling that left me broke ... kat tengah middle of nowhere in langkawi pon aku masih boleh ilang duit beli sling... *daymnn*

tapi aku masih belum insaf, if ade lagi, aku nak beli lagi .... hopefully I dont find anything I fancy (sling/dolls/etc) in the next month.... if ade, TERPAKSA aku cuba beli gak.... in babywearing or waldorf doll world, usually LE/OOAK things are available for literally seconds (saat!!) only... so if fikir lelama, melepas and nyesal berpanjangan.... beli dulu, if tak suka jual... hahaha (racunnnn)....

justification aku, aku takde stash ... so if 1-2 things yg aku beli is kinda "mahal"... not that bad... hahahha.... and it is nowhere near the price of a Pamir or Rosie or other wraps... sooo it cant really be categorized as "expensive" hahahah... soo, kira okay la purchase ni hahahha (justify justify!!)..... alsooo, these things have resell value, you can recoup your losses... (all $$ or
most of it, depending on the item)

sooo pls WWM

kat forum,
WWM - wait with me
LE - limited edition
OOAK - one of a kind

I have always loved wrapping...
it's my first ever babywearing gear what....
tapi masa tu takde a lot of peracun and orang2 yg nak educate on woven wraps etc...
so lambat discover different variety of wraps....
also was kinda hard to do when your kid dah nak start jalan..
and amir start walking at 9 months... so memang takleh duduk diam..
kejap2 nak keluar dari carrier.... so wrap memang sangat tak practical...
sebab takes time nak wrap (utk novice cam aku nihs)....

anyways... next baby aku dah bersedia ngn wrap2...
nak wrap seawal yang buleh... ramai peracun kat forum...

first wrap aku beli is a didy 55% linen azur....beli naked...
naked means it looks like this -
http://slingsthings.blogspot.com/2010/09/didymos-azure.html
lepas tu hantar gi dye-ist untuk dye kan wrap..
satu hal la plak nak decide colors and etc.....
azur bought from US....
dyeist yang aku nak hire tu kat UK... nasib la adik aku ade di UK and US
and adik aku bawakkan balik mesia lepas tu... (jimat shipping international)

anyways... dye-ing is sooo syok!...
yang syok is bila buat gradation... meaning combine 2 or more colors...

Here are a few dye-ist blogs:
http://turquoisefields.blogspot.com/
http://kaleidoscopebytsumiko.blogspot.com/
http://23-west.blogspot.com/

semua yummy kan...??? pening kepala kaler ape mau pilih...

anyways... agonized over colors.... last2 decide to keep things simple...
HOT PINK... for the new baby
CHARCOAL ... for dreary ole me :P

anyways, got it masa adik aku sampai mesia last months...
tapi tak larat aa nak carry camir...
(actually larat, tapi its a struggle sebab die asik resists)...
but aku pasang katun kat TV and wrapped as fast as I could..
sloppy wrapping... and kena tibetan tie sebab takleh ikat kat perut hehehe...
6 months preggy belly

braided to help "break-in" the wrap (lembutkan)

I totally love this wrap..! I hope I am not wraptarded when the newbaby comes...

iPad Lurvee

2011-07-19T01:18:00.002+08:00

Bila cerita pasal ipad… I am pro ipad for learning and enjoying learning…
Tapi ade yang komplen pasal diorang asik main game je memanjang on ipad…
Sometimes aku heran apsal parents complain their toddlers (2-4 years old) main game lama on ipad…
Kalau budak 5-6 tahun tu, logic aa gak.. tapi still requires password nak install games on ipad..
Bukan ke senang je nak control content on ipad tu….?
The best way is to not to introduce the game in the first place…
And if kalau tak suka, delete aa game tu….
I don’t get it… oh well….
Older kids, paham aa gaks kesusahan nak control…

Cam amir ade satu game tu… mickey’s dance ape tah….
Cam takde benefit je game tu…. Lagu and tengok mickey nari…
Amir suka sebab die suka lagi mickey tu…. After a few thousand loops…
And aku tak nampak ape benefit game tu… aku delete je terus…
Memula tercarik2 aa gak.. and rengek mau…. Tapi buat pekak jek…
Then die move on…. Byk lagi mende lain die suka on the ipad…

Semua apps dalam ipad tu adelah leaning games and learning cartoons…
Aku pon takde la rase guilty sgt if amir main ipad… sebab contents are beneficial…
But aku always make time to take him out to the real world….
Playgrounds… playzone… etc…etc…
If cam lama sangat mengadap… aku timeoutkan ipad….
And die main kereta, basical and truck die.. and legos..

Sharing few of amir fav things on ipad… yang I think tak buang masa ….
Please share with me some of yours…

Cartoons yang aku upload:
1. Mickey mouse clubhouse (blajar kira, and shapes and etc)
2. Special Agent Oso (blajar practical life stuff)
3. Superwhy (blajar logic and ABC)
4. Wordworld (blajar ABC)
5. Timmy Time… ini adalah katun yang paling tak beneficial… but aku letak 10 episode je.. for his comic relief…

Wordworld ajar amir recognize basic word spelling

Dengan adanye Disney Junior kat astro… ade yang katun pirates ape tah… die macam suka…
Aku still tatau lagi.. tapi rase cam ade blajar mengeja gak dalam tu….
Nanti nak kena carik and analyse…
Also, chuggington…

Games yang aku suka… (and amir suka)
1. Games by Grasshopperapps http://www.grasshopperapps.com/
2. Games by Alexandre Minard
3. ABC Garden by Leapfrog (they should make more ipad apps)

Memory match game by Alexandre Minard

ABC Puzzle by Alexandre Minard

E-books yang aku suka …. (and amir suka)

2. Bert & Ernie’s great Adventure

Isnin 16 June 2008 – 7 am aku dah bangun, aku dok rumah je, main internet, lepak2 tengok TV….

9.00 pm – Rafiq dah tido… start feeling contractions every 40 mins… so start packing2…

11.30 – masih malas nak kejut laki aku…. Tak guna pon kalau kejut…. Sakit aa contractions .. berpeluh2…. 3-4 kali gak aku mandi…. Dr kata datang hospital bila contractions every 5 mins.. air pecah or bloodyshow.. so far nothing to warrant hospital visit…

Selasa 17 June 2008 , 2 am –- contraction belum 5 mins apart… so terseksa… cannot sleep … bila contraction guling atas katil… bila panas and berpeluh, mandi

5 am – contractions every 6 minits… aku dah tak tahan…. Kejut Rafiq…. Say its time…. (walaupun tak i.e belum 5 mins apart).. gi SJMC, masuk labor room… strapped up.. dah dilate 3 cm (ke inci? cm kot)

6 am – opted for happydural….. tak larat aa contractions…. Tapi nak cucuk happyydural at the spine tu pon satu isu… I takut jarum.. and nak cucuk spine lak tu.. and every 5 mins, ko akan contractions, soo takleh stay still punye untuk dicucuk… tapi akhirnye berjaya… bliss….. boleh main game, tido kejap (tak selesa sebab paralyzed waist down), borak…

9 am – check2 bukaan. Water broke… masih 3-4 cm…..

5 pm – baru 6 cm… doc kata if takde progress bukaan, maybe ceaser….

7.40 pm – lahir…

Banyak gak aku skip… i.e happydural habis seblah badan, can feel contractions on the left side only… 2nd top up of happydural, then takleh nak push… so vacuum… jahit…. Keluarkan uri… muntah… etc..

Point yang aku nak utarakan disini…. > 36 jam aku tak tido hokay …… makan or minum pon takleh….. mane larat nak push…. Baby lahir, pun aku takde nafsu, okay whatever.. gi la nursery.. aku nak tido… tapi sjmc push him on me sebab breastfeeding… garang betul SJMC ni… mak letih la nokkk…..

Point lagi satu aku nak utara kan.. if aku tak amek happydural.. selama >20 jam la aku menahan contractractions… HAPPYDURAL IS SO AWESOME! I am a loyal customer ! harap2 next labor, sempat amek…. Aku takut tak sempat je nak happydural

HAPPY 3rd BEFDAY AMIR......... !

Dolls & Dragons

2011-06-10T18:46:00.002+08:00

Lets talk dolls… waldorf dolls…
Remember this post? Hahahaha
Anyways.. makin lama ko tatap dolls nih.. makin hooked you get and makin cute they become….
Anyways I was hooked….
Masalahnye… SUSAH GILE MAU BELI…..!

The 2 big names aaa… Bamboletta dolls (ni paling payah).. lets call them Bambo
And also Dragonfly’s Hollow….. Lets call thm DFH

Style die… everyweek they make like 15-30 dolls…
Depends aa… DFH makes around 15 dolls per week..
Bambo dah makin berkembang, last time I saw was around 40+ dolls…
And they bagitau in advance, what date and what time…. Dolls akan dijual di online-shop diorang…
Or ….they call it “Doll Upload” ….
So in Malaysia…. Expect the upload to be at 8 am pagi… or even 4 am pagi….
Who knows… Once a month or so…. Both ade buat “Newbie Upload”
Meaning hanye orang orang yg tak pernah beli doll Bambo/DFH (respectively) ni aje boleh beli on that particular upload.
Sometimes ade “International Upload” meaning nonUS/Canadian mamas jer boleh beli the dolls on that particular upload…
Usually the times for International Upload are more asian/Australia friendly….

Anyways… both Bambo and DFH communicate regularly on facebook..
Kat facebook la diorang announce upload date and times.. sometimes that can change at the very last second.. so check frequently for changes..

For DFH, they post pics of each/all the dolls yang will be available for sale that week… usually 2 days ahead of upload day..so that ppl know which diorang nak beli..
DFH currently jual through etsy (previously on etsy, then their own e-shops, then bigcartel now etsy again)
For Bambo, I don’t think so…maybe a group preview picture jela kot…
Bambo sells via Bigcartel.

So on the upload day…. at the upload times… 15 mins before..
Ready2 jelah ape yang patut.. credit card info, tutup semua program lain on PC supaya laju… highlight and copy password paypal.. so that no need to type in…
Refer to official times as per… xxxxx
Bila tinggal 10 saat lagi.. start refreshing…..
Sometimes the website crash….. and bila berjaya load 20 seconds later… everything already sold out hahahaha…

Bigcartel ni (Bambo)… style die… ko refresh nampak aa semua 40+ dolls.
Usually ppl just click on one .. (takde masa nak decide, cun ke tak ke ape)..
and hope doll tu still available utk dicart kan..
bila ko dah select doll and select shipping country…
doll tu is held hostage dlm that buyer punye cart.. (cart-ed)
Sampai la buyer tu isi semua paypal info etc etc……
So ko boleh take time nak isi semua particulars
(but aku tak pernah made it past select country… aku nak scroll down select Malaysia, doll tu dah masuk cart org)
Bambo punye default country is Canada…. So kena la scroll carik Mesia or US…
Anyways, at the main website… doll tu akan still shown as available selagi buyer yg tgh nak beli tu blum habis checkout…
Available tapi ko takleh nak select…. So quite annoying…. 10 minits kot baru doll tu direlease….
Sometimes the doll masuk 2-3 cart, one after another without anybody paying for it…..
So those dolls akan jadik “Serendipity dolls”…. Later aku explain…
Anyways…. Punye la susah nak beli… u either crash … tak berjaya load website..
If berjaya load pon.. tak berjaya cart…. Sakit jantung…

DFH… masa die guna bigcartel.. pon sama…
Cuma default country die is US… so aku takyah scroll carik mesia…
Aku plan to ship to my sister kat US…
Anyways tu pon still tak berjaya cart… a few end up jadik “serendipity dolls” also

Etsy… usually staggered… die upload 2 dolls….
Lepas dah jual upload lagi 2…
So kurang stress gak… but still tak berjaya….

Anyways… Serendipity Dolls tu are dolls yg tak berjaya dijual masa upload .. due to technical difficulties etc…
So what they do is…. Dolls tu akan masuk website diorang…
Sape yang nak beli… kena comment kat posting dolls tu ….
And they will randomly select the lucky one yg berjaya menang peluang menang beli that doll….
Kira macam lucky draw la….

Sometimes both pon ade make dolls yg go up for auction….
Yang ni lupakan jelah….. can cecah ribu USD…
Especially sebab mamas yang kaya and malas nak stalk…
And celebrity pon ade yang nak bamboo doll… so….

Ade jugak manusia yg beli from uploads and they jual kat Ebay for > triple the profit… (Bambo)
Goes to show how susah and in demand Bambos are…

Anyways.. latest…. Dedua Bambo and DFH ade buat a lucky draw system….
In Bambo’s case.. they call it the “Golden Ticket” ala-ala willy wonka…
Sebab the maker suka gile citer willy wonka….
You submit your name and address once to Bambo Team…
And and selected times (aku tak sure when) they will randomly pick a lucky winner from the database…
The winner akan dpt free bambo doll and free shipping!.... but not that often..
More info here ; https://bamboletta.com/?p=1864

For DFH, tak silap aku ade 2 lapis…. Pun ade database name…
First is for every 100 new follower on facebook… they will pull out a name randomly… and bagi DIBS card
Dibs card ni… ko leh cop dulu dolls yang akan diupload that week... sebelum orang lain boleh beli ...
And next one is DIBS+10.... for every 500 follower on facebook...... orang tu dapat dibs.. and also 10% discount.....
More info here: http://dragonflyshollow.com/dibs.htm

Aku telah men-rekrut alisa.. sebab intenet die laju.. untuk sama2 stalk dolls for me...
tapi tak berjaya2.... die pun addicted nak stalk.. sebab die bengang apsal susah sgt nak beli...

Anyways.. point entry ini.. is to brag... I GOT A DIBS CARD @!!!!!! #%#$! huwahuwahuwaaaa...
Cant wait to choose a doll!

this is my dream and ultimate forever doll !

iPad 2 announcement Wednesday ni.

Anyways… amir dah reti swipe swipe ipad ni…
Seblum ni… die akan amek tangan aku and suruh bukakkan mickey mouse etc…
Now dah boleh unlock ipad from lockscreen..
And dah boleh swipe2 screen utk carik apps yang die suka…
So boleh la aku tido tanpa gangguan for 5 mins..

Tapi tak semua apps die reti guna by himself..
Kalau tersilap tekan… kang ade screen do u want to continue Yes/No…
Aku gak kena tekan…
And wordworld punye interactive story book tu.. ade certain style plak nak swipe utk tukar pages.
Bucu bawah kanan diagonally swipe… nyusahkan hidup betul…
Now aku nak review apps ape yang amir suka…

Bear in mind… amir hanye suka apps yang die kenal characters…
So takleh aa nak download app yg comel2.. tapi still tak fames characters…
Die tanak main…

So.. first up…
Chuggington Roundhouse App….

Ni game… bila tren keluar… just tekan kat train…
Cam bashing punye game la kat arked…
Bende pop up, ko ketuk bagi masuk balik…
Amir dah terer…
Tapi sering kali tertekan butang pause… yg akan tulis..
Do u want to continue YES / NO…
Nyampah aku…
Kalau berjaya menang… akan dpt tengok klip chuggington…
Ade 4 levels…

Baby piano..
This one pun die suka… just for button mashing utk dgr bunyik notes and animals..

Wordworld Interactive storybook.. different stories to download!

Ni die suka.. and aku pon suka.. tapi seksanye nak swipe to next page…
Tapi senang utk terswipe backpage… bengang aku…

ABC app.

Yang ni best to test amir die ingat alphabets or not….
Coz die takleh sebut semua… so this apps still can make him learn alphabets eventhough die tak reti sebut.

Magnetic ABC

Yang ni utk practice sebut … aku pilih letter….. and suruh amir sebut…
And then buang that letter, pick another one…..and practice sebut…
Nice clean and simple.

Firstwords …

Ni best tapi aku baru tgh cuba ajar amir capital letters…
Dun wanna confuse him with lowercase…
So later la kot…
Die terhibur gak with this apps… sbb ade bunyik2..

Keh ni je yang aku rase betul2 die main.. yang lain semua die tanak…
Talking cat tu takut…
Disney plak buat interactive book only on toy story… which he hates… grr!
Ade la Cars punye… but tu pon minat biasa2 jer..
I need to download more…!! byk gile dah donlod... but memilih la amir tu..

Yg sounds promising
Superwhy punye app…

penah bace status pompuan sape tah ni.. last-last year, at 2 months... dia dpt rase baby die gerak2 dlm perut.... oi tolonglah... itu taik ko la...

as a pregnant woman suffering mcm nak mati gak... lagi aku nyampah! .. over plak kau... semua nak kaitkan ngn pregnancy..taik gerak pon ckp baby....

aku rase aku penah tulis this same exact entry dulu hahhaha.. anyways, aku menyampah... again... suck it...

oo ...dulu mungkin aku bengang pasal kawan yg asik nak citer sal anak die jer.... aku cakap nak gi petik buah mangga, respon die... oo best gak, anak aku dah ade gigi, dah boleh makan....aku ckp
sal wayang, somehow keluar citer sal anak die tgk wayang...aku ckp nak beli cincin utk laki aku, die masuk pasal nak beli utk anak die.... bengang betul aku masa tu....

outing outdoors first with maysaa snood... rase cam besaanye kaplaa...

i just altered this jeans kat pinggang and ass... first time alter situ... seblum ni hujung kaki je... i love the fitting.. dulu i spent few days and hours everyday trying to find the perfect jeans.. tambahan dgn ass aku yg flat and saggy, so ugly the ass view.. so seksa gile carik jeans..

last2 aku beli je jeans yg paling x ugly.. tapi kena pakai baju yg panjang and cover ass..
anyways this jeans was altered..
im not wearing premium beautiful corset in this pic, coz dah 21 jam aku pakai sejak yesterday (nite shift onwards).. pb basuh, xdapat pakai..

tapi aku rase nowadays aku dah konfiden ngn ass aku, jeans yg altered, pb reshaped my ass .. so rase (perasaan/perasan) macam ade ass :P ..tu yg konfiden pakai baju pendek xyah cover ass hahahah

i feel lvl boobs a bit low, sbb x pakai PB long bra... tunggu la kalau kaya leh aa beli a few n rotate hahah.

morale of the story:
alter jeans kat pinggang and ass..

pb boleh lift up the ass... kinda
like a bra for the butt..

as for myself.. dah dekat sebulan pakai.. in retrospect.. the first few days tu mmg mencabar... tak biasa... and nak pee semua tu... but now dah second nature pakai... bila tak pakai, aku rase tak syok (lebeh kurang cam
perasaan tak pakai bra gi
keje kot) ...and lepas dah pakai, aku really loathe to bukak... sebab sungguh sedap
and comfy..

dulu awal2 aku tak sabar nak cukup 8 jam and bukak
pb.... in a short amount of time, it has reversed.. thanks

in other news.. finally bot ipad... ingat nak tunggu ipad2... tapi

Amir wants to be potty trained..
Tapi aku ni malasnyee lahai..

Die dah pandai nak bukak2 seluar…
Usually die cakap “Ak” lepas die be’ak..
Tapi haritu die cakap “ak.. ak” tapi tak berak..
So aku assume die nak mandi…
So bukak la baju and seluar and pampers.. bogel kejap
Aku gi terbalikkan pancake aku kat dapur…
Then aku bawak gi mandi…
Aku gi living room.. ade poo pooo atas buku…
Adoii… sabo jelah….nasib baik seketul sketul…
Tapi buku tu aku buang lah… ciss..

Semalam pon.. die kata nak “ak”..
Aku buat dunno je sebab malas nak bagi die mandi pepagi..
5 saat lepas tu die buat muka berak (dalam pampers aaa)

I should be more rajin to respond to his need… *sigh* malas

Tapi penah gak die cakap nak “ak” tapi tak berak.. just nak mandi…
Tu yang aku malas tu…

Bored… malas nak semakkan twitter feed followers..
So lets blog…
Let’s talk about my PB tweaks hahahah
(sungguh la minor je, tapi I felt a world of difference lepas aku tweak…
baru aku rase true comfyness nak pakai lelama)

Masa first2 pakai… mindset aku was… aku nak corset ni limitkan food intake aku..
So aku makan and makan and makan…
Memang takde control lah… and corset ni tak membendung langsung nafsu makan aku..
(orang lain lain experience .. ni aku…)
So aku agak hampa disitu…..

Now looking back.. aku rase ade 2 mistakes yg aku buat simultaneously…
First is mindset aku berharap kat PB je untuk stop aku makan…
Second is fitting waistnipper kat perut tak bagus…

Let’s analyse this (harap2 aku boleh explain sebab 2 bende ni inter-related, susah nak explains satu satu... kena explain both terus)

First…. Mindset berharap kat PB je untuk make me stop eating…
Aku rase takleh camtu… sebab PB is flexible..it will expand…
Aku rase lepas aku tweak… baru aku rase fitting kat perut sedap.. ketat yg sedap..
Then bila aku nak melantak… aku dapat rase extra tightness kat perut…perut mengembang
So bila dah rase camtu… baru aku beringat … oo perut dah penuh… let’s stop eating…

Kinda like macam how it helps you to walk, sit and stand straight… spine straight …tak bongkok… ko boleh je sesaja nak bongkok pakai PB…. (Ni bende first aku test bila pakai PB, aku test rukuk Sujud … yoga child’s pose, sun salute.. semua lah aku test… selamba je test depan Liza..very flexible…bones not digging…. ) Tapi bila bongkok, bending tu lesser comfy that duduk/diri in correct posture…
So setiap kali ko terasa nak bongkok, ko rase cam PB is making u sit/stand straight…
Kira cam peringatan aaa… “correct posture pls! ” anyways, tak terasa nak bongkok pon pakai PB..
Boleh je ko nak bongkok sepanjang2 pakai PB…tapi requires work to do so lah..
Setiap kali nak pickup barang.. I bend my knees now.. tak bongkok my back…dah jadik automatic… (tapi kenkadang kaki aku penat aa bend banyak sgt.. so aku bongkok gak laaa, nak shortcut…tapi aku sedar la im not supposed to bend forward)

Sama macam perut isu tu… bila dah kenyang.. ko rase slight tightness kat perut… reminding you to. “stop eating pls! ”…. boleh je ko nak go on and on makan…
But if nak lose weight fast… beringat la… and mentality kena betul… kita kena usaha gak… kena actually stop eating when PB tells you …. takleh expect PB to do everything for you… die takleh halang ko makan

Oo tapi….lately aku rase slight tighness yg occurs bila perut dah penuh… is very fulfilling.. Hilang gak lapar aku tu…. Lately, bangun pagi aku just minum air banyak2… and pakai PB.. and akan terlupa makan breakfast…. This stresses me out so much, sebab aku rase breakfast itu adalah WAJIB! … tau tau je dah nooon…. also lately aku asik take a long time between meals… ni pon aku tak suka.. sebab aku firm believer of constant snacking and eating to maintain high metabolism…. If lama tak makan, then bile makan, aku akan makan hugeee meal, binge eating…. Soo ini something yg aku kena get used to laa… kena ingat to always eat… sebab lately, perasaan lapar tu hilang.. and takde untuk warn aku yang aku dah lama tak makan…. Aku mmg nak lose weight.. tapi bukan by not eating… sbb that way, effect weight loss hanya temporary…

Ke maharani yang buat aku lambat lapar? Aku pon taktau la exactly…

Aku tau some people memang makan melantak…and pakai PB .. and can still lose weight… tapi aku takde masa nak test teori tu…..tanak take chance…. aku nak lose weight asap,…..to get in good shape to conceive… so aku kena jaga makan… Berbalik kepada isu expecting corset to stop you from eating…I think it’s the wrong approach… PB can remind you to stop eating… but u have to stop on your own…

So you ask… tak perlu pakai PB pon boleh beringatkan? … beingat utk eat less and beringat utk stand straight manually….. memang boleh…. tapi ko boleh always remember ke? Aku on hari hari yg aku tak pakai PB… sekejap2 tersedar… opsss wrong posture…. Then slumping balik…. Lepas some time baru sedar… opps gotta sit up straight….. sitting/standing up straight requires effort… tu yg asik nak slumping je… but PB helps support you to get the correct posture… tak penat nak sit/stand straight… (lets save this issue for another day okeh)… sama cam makan aaa…. Perasaan kenyang tu datang 20 mins lambat… so bila ko rase kenyang.. sepatutnye ko stop makan 20 mins ago…tu pasal orang suruh makan slow slow…. pakai PB, bila food masuk.. mengembang .. ko dah diwarn utk stop… but have to stop la (ni yang payah sebnanye)...

Hahah aku teknikal person… so kalau bleh nak analyze… how things function…
So panjang la sket geekology aku….

p/s: mlm smalam n harini aku tak pakai PB (sbb nak pakai masa keje malam)…. Aku rase ade 4 jerawat macam nak naik…. Siut je… takkan aku nak pakai 24 jam kot… lets see what happens tonight… harap2, die masuk balik hahahah... (dun think so)

anyways… aku dah cecah 63 again! (granted I just peed before timbang, but previously aku peed and pooped sbelum timbang pon 66-67-68... so i'll take it as a positive sign).. 63 is my post pregnancy, pre weaning weight… tapi my goal is pre pregnancy weight… 58 kg !... Aku tak exercise sgt sejak pakai PB (1.5 kali je gi gym).. bukan sebab tanak.. tapi busy and amir lak sakit… sooo next week I’m hoping to gym like crazy! … I need my endorphine, dopamine.. etc…release stress !

ohhh! I read some interesting stuff on this today in readers digest… carik pics jap
ade banyak lagi… but aku letak point no.4 jelah dulu…. I’ll put the rest of the articles tomorrow..
working in MCC is high stress ooo.. ramai heart problem.... (i should get hazardous work pay) ...no wonder I'm grabbing high carbs food non stop... have to chill !

malam ahad... aku keje malam..
keje malam means.. 8pm till 8.30 am....
usually malam agak slow... kapal aku are mostly flying...
tapi malam ahad haritu super duper takde isu and aku lepas settelkan repetitive defect cam dah takde keje langsung...

anyways.. aku memang tak tido kat opis masa shift malam..
usually aku gi surau utk tido.. sejam. masa breaktime aku aa..
semua org tau aku tak tido... org lain usually tido la kejap2..
sebab malam takde keje sgt... lepas setel, org tido
aku main intenet.. manager aku siap lecture aku...
die kata... shift malam ni kena tido kejap ... paling tidak pun setengah jam..
sebab takut esok pagi nak drive balik rumah lalok...
aku senyum je...angguk
sebab utama... mmg aku tido pun sejam kat surau..
kedua.. kerusi kat opis tu sucks gile nak tido... aku penah cuba, siap bawak bantal kecik
tapi takleh get comfy enuf to sleep...
lagi satu segan nak tido...

nak dijadikan cerita...
malam ahad tu aku pakai PB corset ni..
PB forces u to sit up straight... so buat keje mmg aku duduk dengan posture yg betul aaa..
tak penat aku duduk...
btw, old timers kat tempat ni... mostly sakit blakang.. and mostly kena gi buat back surgery.
bayangkan kena duduk kerusi tak best tu for 12 jam... sakit...
masa first day aku masuk keje sini.. aku terus rase sakit blakang... tu yg aku bawak bantal kecik tu...tapi lelama dah biasa ngn sakit tu...

anyways berbalik..
malam ahad tu...lepas habis keje
sangat bosan.. and aku sangat ngantuk....dah habis surf intenet dah...
aku terdiscover.. yang aku boleh sandar atas kerusi with PB dengan selesa...
PB tolong support spine so that aku tak sakit blakang sandar kerusi bodoh tu..
end up... aku tido 4 jam kat atas kerusi.. ngahahahah..
and .. bukan tido tido ayam..
tapi tido yang sangat sedap... puas...! (sesekali aku bukak mata gak, tgk telex and email, tapi takde pape pon masuk...)
shiftmate aku semua cam tak percaya yang aku finally tido.... "OMG akhirnyaa!"
letih diorang lecture aku suruh tido if takde keje..

soo aku mmg makin lama rase best gile laa PB ni..
cerita dan perasaan kagum yang aku boleh tido diatas tu sumpah memang betul...
and mmg bukan aku cerita bukan nak promote... tapi nak share...
tapi ade 2 bende aku tweak PB ni utk bagi die comfy untuk aku...
orang tak ajar, aku yang pandai2... first week aku tak buat, rase okay jela pakai PB...
lepas aku tweak... baru aku tau, betapa sedaaaaap and selesanye ...!
korang/orang lain mungkin tak perlu tweak pon.. pakai2 je mungkin dah selesa...
tapi took me a while to feel really comfy in this... and now I am!
so glad I stuck through with it... and learned how to use it with my own body...
anyways tweak ni mungkin gak rosakkan PB ke ape... tapi pedulik hape...
kata lifetime warranty... rosak hantar jela repair... heheheh.. :P **Shhhh****

anyways.. esoknye balik umah... aku tak pakai PB la kan.. sebab satu malam dah pakai..
satu hari rase tak syok and mengeleberr....
so malam isnin aku nak tido.. aku pakai waistnipper je bawak tido...
konon2 nak bagi tido nyenyak macam semalamnye. ..
and konon2 FIR tu lancarkan aa blood sambil aku tido...
tapi silap aa.. sebab malam2 still nak kena breastfeed amir.. so aku terpusing sana sini...
tak selesa.. and bangun pagi tadi.. aku pening satu hari...
pengajaran citer... jangan over nak ber PB hahahaha

aku mungkin kena delete entry nih later..
kang big big bos aku jumpa ... kantoi tido...
(tapi walaupun tido... still monitor phone calls, emails and telex tau...)

so far pengalaman aku positif...
yang aku rase negetif... tang nak gi jamban tu jela..
tapi tu pun aku dah pakar.. makin laju...
tapi bila hari hujan.. asik nak terkencing2 tu... hangin gak aku....
aku waktu keje gi jamban at least 7-8 kali dlm 12 jam tu...
so mmg dah banyak practise nak on-off pakai PB hahaha..
mencabar kesabaran gak bila hujan and byk2 kali sangat gi jamban...
tapi aku rase its worth it... the feel masa pakai tu, worth it...

p/s: aku nak cakap pasal skin and acne.. tapi rase cam belum cukup satu pusing period...
soo after sebulan baru aku nak review skin aku... so far, baru naik satu jerawat.. (tu pun naik pada hari aku tak pakai PB... hantu betul.. coincidence? too soon to tell)...

kalau aku ade duit.. mmg aku join biz PB ni...
tunggguuuu jelah.... mak takde duit nyaaaahhh..

2010-12-28T10:35:00.002+08:00

Using Premium Beautiful corset to maintain a figure (while I have one)...
I feel it slipping away.. LOL...
and hopefully to conceive... wearing PB and eating Maharani herbs
PB corset is said to have FIR (far infra-red)...
to aid in blood circulation... also to increase metabolism (burns calories)
and maharani.. is chinese herbs for women...

harap2 melekat...
dah 6-7 times trying tak lekat2..
esok 6th day of period... I'm supposed to start eating it..
people say im gonna feel panass.. and sometimes can breakout (acne) too if tak tahan..
harap2 no acne.. huhwaaaa...

been wearing PB for about 2 weeks now...
the first week is a getting to know it week..
learning how to wear properly and easily (trust me it aint easy at first)
after a week.. lepas aku dah tau ragam and regang die...
and I tweaked the waistnipper to my liking...
very very comfy... ! I like...

still annoying to take off the long girdle to go pee...
but no pain.. no gain right ....
anggap jela ni workout to lose weight aku hahahah..

first week had some healing crisis... some rashes broke out...
hell to not scratch it....
but I got thru that... and now loving it!

but too early to see weight loss I guess..
I am no longer seeing 67 or 68... now more on 64-65...
but I'll give it 3 weeks before weighing and measuring myself again..

anyways... anyone interested in trying this...
I highly recommend my fried.. liza..
She's an expert ...fitter...
coz PB if size not correct... tak best nak pakai.. then u wont pakai..
so its very very veryy crucial to get the right fit !...
She comes over to get your measurement.. and then bila fitting, she'll give u tips to wear it correctly! penting oiii.. lepas die tweaked me up.. baru rase boobs and butt in the right place without feeling uncomfy..

anyways.. her service in KL, selangor as far as I know...
but I'm sure she knows orang2 kat negeri2 lain...
penah jugak die gi negari2 lain.. if ramai yang request...
sape nak her contact number, do let me know...
she's a full time PB consultant... so she knows everything you want to know about this..
so get the perfect fit from the best person yooo !

Ive known her since university.. I was there when she gave birth...
so aku tau betapa besar nye die at that time and even before that.. and how much she shrank now! tu yang aku agak konfident nak try... kalau takat dgr, kawan aku punye kawan.. or see testimoni orang yg ko tak kenal lose weight... aku mmg tak konfident...

oh!! and I also met akak yang aku beli my first wristlet (purple) coach dulu... die pun beso beso badan die.. aku pergi rumah die nak amek wristlet sambil belek2 beg beg lain.... (aku dpt inspirasi nak bukak kedai coach dari die arr hahah) ... and terjumpa die masa jumpa Liza... shit, die lagi kurus dari aku ! sooo makin konfiden la aku nak try...
also.. 2-3 years back a close male collegue of mine.. confided yang bini die pakai corset mahal (aku tak ingat aa PB ke crony)... migrane terus hilang.. and maka die pun syok sbb malam2 selalu "dapat"... maybe due to blood circulation aa kot.. but... cam sioot je hahahaha...

anyways.. ni pics from my first day wearing PB...hahahah saggy breastfeeding boobs (never tot of them as sagging before LOL..baru ku sedar) and old kebaya raya yg ketat at the boobs... lama tak pakai...

anyways reason for me to try PB ni banyak...(if tak banyak, tak justified la aku nak beli oi)
1. retain figure
2. lose weight (hoping)
3. to conceive
4. to sit straight (kat MCC tu kerusi cam haram and all oldtimer semua sakit blakang and buat surgery spine tau.. gile.. masa first day dok 12 hours situ aku dah sakit gile)
5. to elakkan kenaikkan berat.. (sejak aku weaning amir, went up to 68kg okeh)...

side efek yang hoping .. clearer skin... :P

ade lagi efek lain.. but those are not my goals.. anyways since Premium Beautiful ada sale lowest price ever sampai ujung tahun ni aje... maka ni la best time to buy and try....jimat sket duit aku beli skang... dah lama nak try... tapi ni la masanye... (cheapskate mama)

anyways.. takyah la terkejut aku pakai corset... aku memang corset, girdle, waistcincher wearer.. dalam almari aku ni ade over 15 different shapewear I own... masa lepas SPM aku siap beli girdle yang ade ASS-SPAN.. utk bagi ass aku ade ass... (sad and pathetic right? hahah)
so.... it's no shocker I'm open to wearing corset.. coz I do believe in them...
harap... sebab harga mende alah ni mahal... kental sket usaha aku utk always pakai hahahhaa...

so far... 2 stuff yang aku minat nak makan..
maharani.... (we'll see tomorrow)
and Lacto-lite... best gile probiotik nih!... its pro and prebiotik.. I tried one
aku dah setahun lebeh makan bioLife punye probiotik..
lately dah cam immune.. maybe its time to switch!..
tapi ade bekal bioLife for 2 more months in the frigde....tunggu tu habis dulu kot...

doakan aku nak makan maharani esok.. *takuuutt**

p/s: all haters and non believer's comment.... are not invited... I dont need your negativity here.. go play elsewhere.. pfttt :P

Katakan tidak pada PREMAXX baby bag sling - Surat untuk kawan.

>> TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2010

Salam dan Selamat Sejahtera,

Saya sangat sedih. Sejak akhir-akhir ini Premaxx Baby Bag slingsudah masuk ke dalam pasaran Malaysia dan semakin laris seperti larisnya pisang goreng panas di hari hujan. Kesal kerana saya tahu baby sling seperti ini adalah berisiko jika digunakan. Saya sedar tidak ramai ibu bapa diluar sana tahu tentang aspek keselamatan baby wearing. Sebab itulah, surat ini saya tulis untuk menceritakan bahaya2 yg mungkin boleh terjadi jika baby bag sling ini digunakan terutamanya jika bayi kecil digendong di dalamnya.

Tahukah kawan semua yg beberapa kes telah dilaporkan di Amerika dimana beberapa bayi telah mati ketika digendong di dalam baby bag sling? Sila baca artikel ini: Baby deaths raise concerns about Infantino slings . Disebabkan kes ini jugaklah tema minggu babywearing pada tahun ini adalah "Babywearing Safety: Enjoy The Benefits".

Antara bahayanya:
1- Bayi yang diletakkan di dalam bag sling itu mudah tergelungsur dengan hidung akan press pada badan pemakai menyebabkan bayi sukar untuk bernafas.
2- Disebakan bayi berada paras yg rendah, pemakai sukar untuk mengawasi keadaan bayi.
3- Bentuk seperti bag menyebabkan postur bayi dalam keadaan melengkung menyebabkan saluran pernafasan melengkung dan menyebabkan kesukaran pada bayi untuk bernafas.

Diharapkan kawan2 sekalian dapat luangkan masa membaca pautan yg saya letak dibawah ini:-

http://www.babyslingsafety.blogspot.com/
http://www.nurturebabynaturally.com/2010/03/what-is-bag-sling.html
http://www.sleepingbaby.net/safety.php

di Malaysian babywearer juga ada beberapa pautan yg sangat bagus di baca.

http://malaysianbabywearers.lefora.com/2010/12/21/links-and-resources-on-babywearing-safety/#post1

Oleh yg demikian, saya sangat berharap jika kawan2 mahu membeli sebarang babywearing gear, sila dapatkan nasihat dari orang2 yang betul2 memahami babywearing (tak semestinya penjual, penjual ada yg tidak tahu tentang aspek keselamatan!!).

Sekian dari saya yang kesal dengan jualan Premaxx Baby Bag sling. Harap kawan2 boleh sampaikan pesanan ini kepada rakan2. Kita tidak mahu apa2 yg tidak baik berlaku pada anak-anak kecil di Malaysia. Jika kawan2 dapat tahu yang ada dikalangan rakan2 membeli sebarang jenama baby bag sling, harap dapat nasihati mereka jangan menggunakannya dengan baby kecil.

Yang Benar

Rozy

Lama tak actually post an entry on this blog... been to busy active on twitter and instagram... lets face it, the people who cares to read my blog are already my twitter friends...

anyways, amir still not "speaking" - talking... boleh la sket2.. but die nak ikut bahasa die jer... lets disect.

Speech

papa = papa

mickey mouse = maaauuu... (s takde bunyik lagi)

mama = theta (i guess stems from the t*tek word)

nak susu from boobs = tatak.... i guess now ade "beza" perkataan for me .. and my boobs

all foods = mamam

drinks = air

susu = air

mandi = air

laut = air

hujan = air (well... u get my drift )

nak = nak

banana = ngaaa

yellow crescent moon = ngaaa (LOL)

furry animal = gaga

ipod = iyaaaaa

tendang/kick = teeeng

yang paling aku konfius ...

plane = kaaa

bola = kaa

tapi aku dah tau kenapa... rupanye semua bende yg flying is "kaa"... iklan bola semua bola-bola itu flying...

tapi walaupun takleh nak bercakap.. die paham ape aku cakap... aku suruh tutup lampu, kemas toys, etc... dah boleh buat..

alphabets

O, A, E, I, K, M, R ... yang boleh disebut..(thanks wordworld!)

kartun

sekarang katun favret die is wordworld, Oso and Super why!

perangai

gaga over chocolate... not really a candy or icecream kid...

susu

aku bagi pediasure, nursery bagi NAN 3 pro (highest in Iron and DHA stuff), rumak MIL aku bagi NAN3 and sustagen ...

susu kotak die tak suka...

masa kat oman, payahnye nak suruh die minum pediasure ikut drinking botol..

tapi bila letak dalam botol susu, banyak gile minum...

i never knew he loves the bottle.. baru tau...

trip pegi middle east ni jugak la first time aku travel with susu and botol and bagai..

blur gile what and how to travel with powder, water, bottles

food

aku tak creative.. so usually give the same style food

either, macarono, fussili or spegetti stir fried... olive oil... no salt... perisa from herbs and ketchup.. and sneak some vege/mushroon yg potong kecik2 sampai takleh nak detect.. aku suka fussili tu sebab pasta made from vegetables

but amir is more of a fish person...

im guessing sbb fish is soft meat... unlike ayam or beef..

2010-10-17T23:39:00.001+08:00

a few camwhoring pics..

I have decided to keep 3 SSCs

1\ Toddler Dream Carrier Neo - Alexander Henry Thunder flower print of black straps

2\ Toddler Bamberoo Deluxe SSC - Wrap conversion from Lana Tattoo wrap on black straps

http://mykimimela.blogspot.com/2010/03/wrap-tai-lana-tattoo.html

3\ Toddler/Std Kinderpack - In search of dark straps print. now have sunflower on wheat straps.

It is that time of the month again..bye bye papa... hopefully this will be the 2nd last time... we miss you :(

too anxious waiting for the iphone to be charged to my creditcard...
dah ready bayo dah hahaha..

it's a trick yg pegawai maybank ajar... aku call die nak tanye apsal tak tercharge2 lagi on the credit card... aku nak bayo before aku "terguna" cash on hand nih...
thru maybank2u.. u cannot pay more than what you owe...
tapi die ajar, if pegi ATM.. then can deposit bape banyak u want...
so ala ala.. jadik cam debit card gak la... prepaid..
cool ek..?

also.. if katakan ur credit limit rm5K.. tapi nak beli bende 7K.. (nak kumpul treatspoint by using creditcard).. takyah susah2 gi mintak temporary naikkan credit limit... just make a deposit at the ATM...jadikkan negetive balance...

i think its cool... hahaha.. takde life betul..

2010-09-30T19:35:00.000+08:00

amir suka bace buku mickey mouse je...
and he loves all pages where mickey is eating.. cehs..

also he is loving wordworld now...
soo aku tak rase bersalah sangat if bagi die layan videos...
tapi kenkadang aku still tak bagi tengok...
nak suruh layan buku or main keter or main lego...
and paksa diri jugak aaa untuk bawak amir gi playground...
need to be actif.. tanak membesar dengan gadjet and terperuk dirumah...
eventhough id rather just dok umah je... penat and panas...

schedule pagi hari...

7 am bangun.. masak utk amir..bfast
8 am sapu sampai, mop, basuh baju, sidai baju..
9 am gi playground...
10 am balik umah ..mandi...
11 am gi rumah nenek... or gi nursery if weekdays.... aku gi gym
1 pm balik rumah lipat baju..

and the rest ikut keadaan...

I would so love one day aku leh bangun lewat....

p/s: amir can sebut.. nek nek.... huuuuu too cute!

2010-09-30T18:40:00.000+08:00

this is how u eat alone ..

p/s: rafiq pakai coat bukan sebab poyo eh.. tapi sebab last time aritu denied boarding (protocol discounted staff ticket)... aritu pakai jeans and sport shoes.. kena carik pants dalam luggage and pinjam kasut bapak aku lol.. nasib baik bapak aku pakai kasut instead of sandals...

kali ni only parents aku yg menemani.. sbb parents rafiq ade rombongan berkahwin at terengganu..

kali ni.. supersmart.. if kena denied gak... sepak je... ngada aaa

2010-09-14T23:29:00.002+08:00

EDIT 17 Sept: adding front carry and back crossbody bag... :D

maintaining handsfree while babywearing is crucial to a usually single mother like me
macam2 tangan ni nak kena pegang...
nak kena bayar for food while babywearing..
nak korek2 purse... nak carik Jcard, la bonus link la etc..
if handbag biasa, sure akan slip from shoulders...
the only way to achieve that is crossbody handbags!! :D
tapi coach punye handbag crossbody straps die quite short for me.. stress aku..
this MBMJ one is long and perfect length! I love!
the best material would be leather.. easy to clean, doesnt stain (like fabric)

what to carry (amir-wise)
I dont carry anything for amir.. maybe 1 small bottle of drink.. 1 toy, 1 iPod.. and small tupperware of bribefoods (which is marshmallow, for those impossible moments)
but usually beli je air kotak kat kedai..
if terasa cam akan lama sket.. then wipes and 1 pampers..
baju spare, pampers spares everything else ade dalam bakul in the car...
why carry sebakul macam nak berkampung...
just carry what u need to make it back to the car ...
lets admit it.. 95% of the time u dont need whatever crap u have in the diaper bag anyways...
if small babies, then yes the diaper bag is crucial.. but toddlers... dun think so lah..

anyways.. travel light, carry light...
happy babywearing

2010-09-10T02:48:00.002+08:00

So decided to write sementara aku masih excited utk bercerita
Bila “dia” sampai.. mungkin aku dah kurang excited nak tulis blog pepanjang…
Appreciation ~~thread~~ post harus ada….. tapi kat blog jela dulu.. blum pegang lagi pon..

Anyways…. Start cerita…
Have loved the Petite Toddler Dream Carrier (PTDC) Neo SSC
Neo means, curved shoulder straps meant for comfy back carry…
Tapi petite means the carrier is meant for petite toddlers..
For me and amir, this means maybe for amir when he 1-2 years old…
I had to try la the PT size..
coz when I decided to try DC…there was no DC in Malaysia yet…

Verdict:
construction-wise the seat darts wasn’t deep enough… and body panel wasn’t high enough…Wearing wise, quite comfy.. love the neo straps.. If worn long hours, terasa jugak la at the shoulders…

Anyways… so decided to look out for a custom DC slot.. (here)
Usually DC akan announce bila die akan jual custom slow…
Contohnye 3 sept, 11:00 am EST…
So tepat2 kul 11:00 am EST dah available nak beli la kat cart online tu..
Tapi by 11:00:02 dah soldout .. kah kah…
so Malaysian internet don’t really stand a chance..

Kadang2.. die akan buat surprised slot…
Meaning, die akan letak satu slot for sale… tapi die tak bagitau org..
So sape yg kebetulan surf that page, boleh aa beli…

Anyways… this one sweet day…
Tetiba aku dpt ilham nak decide to stalk for the surprised slot…
Sebab fikir cam tak logic je nak kejar the scheduled slot…
So aku pon bookmark that page on my safari on iphone…
So bebila aku free… check facebook, mbw, fsot.. aku include skali la that DC page..

Anyways, the next day.. while nursing amir on the bed… went to that page on iphone…
Sekali tu nampak custom slot marked as available…konfius jap aku..
So aku bace description die.. is it really custom slot.. and boleh buat SSC ke tak.. (sometimes ade slot for buckle tais only)
Lepas aku dah make sure.. terus aku cabut and campak amir…. And melompat ke PC…
Lepak je membeli.. no real pressure ahhaah….

Anyways.. after everything, Andrea (the maker) sent and email…
gitau how to make a custom DC…options..
She is soo organize… I like it… no dramas, no fuss, no issues, no emos…
Bayar downpayment USD50.. balance later.. so ala-ala instalment jek haahah

The way to create custom.. pilih all settings..
and send andrea all the fabric yang u want…
shoulder & waist straps pun boleh send..
tapi die ade 2 kaler instock (jalapeno and black brushed canvas)
Some people yg hardcore2 gitu.. akan pilih fabric shoulder/waist ni gak.. nak paling lembut/sturdy/ringan and nak kaler matching2… cord/denim yg paling hangat
Aku malas nak fikir.. so hitam jelah dari Andrea punye instock… sure match ngn all my black shirts hahah…
Body panel pulak… I have a few fabrics yg memang dah lama I’ve sent to my sister..
Fabrics that I fancy… so nak kena pilih satu….
Bukan senang nak dapat slow buat custom carrier…
antara elements2 yg aku kalau boleh mahu dalam custom carrier aku are:

1. ade motif2 jepun.
2. ade tulisan jepun
3. ade sakura
4. kaler merah
5. ade kain solarveil
6. nak hoodie hood

so kain yang aku pilih ni memang la sungguh memenuhi syarat…
hahaha… semua features crammed in 1 fabric lol… tamak betul

tunggu punye tunggu.. after 5 weeks of waiting…. Siap pun!!..
(skip plot, aku dah takde mood nak bercerita hahaha)
anyways si Andrea ni mmg jenis reveal semua yg dijahit kat facebook die..
so, aku nak berahsia2 pon tak guna…
sape2 yg follow DC punye page boleh tengok… potong stim tul…
now kena tunggu utk dipos ke adik aku.. then ke mesia…

simple jek.. and tak pecah kepala decide… didn’t consult anyone on choices…
takde mintak org vote2, takde over2 nak print2 matching2 kan fabric tgk outcome..
so disebabkan decision main tibai je, takut je turned out huduh…
but it turn out better than I imagined… happy with that.. simple..
bende yg aku pecah kepala decide.. was the hood..
should I go hoodie, patterned inside out? Flathood yg align? Hoodie with black SV inside? Should I get appliqué inside the hood?
Cam bangang je hahahah .. pening customizing hoods…
what can I say.. I love hoods! Anyways I got 2 hoods..
But this carrier, I think hoodless lawa.. bila amir tido baru snap on hood… love the snaps! Aku tak suka stuffable hoods.
The only thing I regret … maybe I don’t need pockets…

and aku sangat2 love the black haired girl…
sebabnye dulu aku perasan aku ni Rei Hino… (kenal ke? Hahah)
aku suka die sebab rambut die hitam and panjang and outfit die merah..
ku kumpul sticker2 Rei dalam album… esok aku snap pics album tu kat umah mak aku hahaha

Here’s the final stats…

Toddler DC Neo
18” height, 20” base
Body: Alexander Henry red Thunder Flower fabric
Strap: Black brushed canvas
Straight Waist
Neo shoulder straps
Leg paddings, seat darts, elastic webbings, webbing chest straps,
Single adjust shoulder straps
Hoodie hood removable by snaps

and some preview pics..
cant wait to take actions pics..

with solarveil hoodie!! aku tensen yg KP aritu Mel tanak buatkan aku SV hoodie.. die bagi yg flat je... hampeh...die nak ration SV die, die kata.. sebab SV are no longer in production.. get them while they last.. :P... I got these black SV from FSOT-OT...

sekian cerita of my first ever custom carrier...
finally, something that is totally "me"

watashi wa kono karia ga totemo kawaii to omoimasu yo.. anrea-san, arigato gozaimashita

amir takut woody from toy story...
this makes trips to toyrus sooo seksaaa...
asik nak nyorok, tutup2 mata ....

2010-08-21T23:12:00.004+08:00

My new kinderpacks have arrived...

1\ so lightweight !
2\ so lightweight !

I am in love with the KP SV.... patten not so much.. but the SV is yummilicious!

But I havent found the sweet spot yet... nak kena adjust2 lagi kot..
But it it works out.... I understand why people are soo gaga about Kinderpack... !
weightless ! sooo ringan ...

but now there's some adjustment to be done here and there... so later baru boleh review..

French Riviera Standard size body with Standard size straps Kinderpack..

I think I should wear this on the hips, not waist...
with KP.. wearing at the waist memendekkan body carrier... so tanak la std size yg pendek tu lgi pendek..

today's pic (22/8/2010) - better fit when worn at waist, I think

Sunflower Toddler size body with Standard size straps Kinderpack

this fits better... but it's not SV... gegegegegege :(

positioning all cam not perfect yet.. so excuse these pics..
this feels exactly like O&A... but this carrier itself ringan dari O&A.. tu je beza

today's Pic: cam better fitting:

gamba sumer kat umah je pasang timer... xde fotographer...

anyways ... Sanaa's Original DC WT SSC...
aku tatau aa ni size ape.. but 1-2" less tall than what would be a perfect fit for amir..
masa first2 bukak and tengok... tergasp... waaa suka! the color, the texture...
ellipsen ni cam lain dari ellipsen fazian... ade byk jenis ke ellipsen? cashmere/silk etc?
but this one seems tougher and cam tahan lasak...
so kurang sket takut aku memakainye... pakai O&A tu takut2.. sebab cam senang tertarik wrap die.. and sebab kaler cerah...
anyways, I still berhati2 pakai.. especially with my ring... takut snag kat wrap material tu..
but it is soo well made... kemas and teliti ... as with all DC I think (omg I love DC)
lepas I pakai tu.. huuu rindu my PT DC Neo.. I think I love straight waist more lah.. (i.e I love DC waist more than my O&A waist)...
I wear quite high on the waist,, tapi amir still not high enough.. maybe coz im tall..
but reallly makes me miss my DC..
the seat dart on this one cam lagi longgar than my ptdc..
tapi masa we compare pah punye ptdc neo and my ptdcneo.. mmg ade beza gile.. waist pon beza 2 inch kot.. banyak tu.. tu yg chikleen bising tu.. apasal rase lain..sedangkan patutnye size sama ...
anyways.. I hate the dual adjust shoulder buckles... dont see the point...
everything else is perfect ..... style wise, aku suka flat je kat top die.. cam O&A and PT DC... aku tak suka curved headrest style tu.... but itu matter of estetic je...
anyways.. I love it !!! sampai takut nak pegang lelama...tapi aku takut nak bukak cincin, kang hilang.... so it will go to another mama tomorrow...
I am fotografer/hubby-less... will be for quite a while.. so these are the best pics I will ever get...
kena pretend nak try baju utk masuk changing room...
unless I pinjam AA or Fat... for camwhoring session tomorrow for our lunch date hahah ..dpt la pics yg best sket... sanaa sila bawak dslr :P
oo lupa.. neo lagi best for back carry.... but this feels great for front carry..
but the wrap straps makes it more cushier for long term carrying I think..
this is the carrier http://hyenacart.com/DreamCarriers/index.php?c=0&p=39843

groceries shopping with ease.... love BW-ing !!

2010-08-04T00:50:00.003+08:00

amir mama's boy...
usually memang die akan duduk atas aku.. anywhere..
kat restoran ke, flight ke, bas ke etc...
selagi aku free, selagi tu die nak dok atas aku...
bayangkan la flight 24 jam ke newyork itu...
rase nak bunuh diri je aku... nak gi jamban/makan pun susah..
aku gi jamban, rafiq dukung.. pun die dah susah hati carik aku gi mane.. adoi..
rafiq babywear die pun, bukan die nak sgt pon..
cam kat UK... aku carry front carry 95% of the time.. cam nak patah kaki..
bila dah jalan sampai ke malam, nak suh rafiq dukung pon die tamau... sakit kaki dan sakit hati.. kat US okay la, dah ade stroller and ipod and aku carry back carry...kurang aa fenart

tapi ini lah yang terjadi, lepas rafiq balik mesa after 1 month kat Oman...
dalam keter exiting KLIA.

pigs flew.....

2010-08-02T16:15:00.004+08:00

standby OmanAir.. ZED fares for rafiq...

ZED FARES = special fares inter-airlines yg agreed... tak semua airlines kitorang dapat murah.. but banyak gak..middle east, OmanAir, Qatar, Etihad, Emirates semua ade... UK = british airways... Aussie = Qantas / AirNewZealand.. dalam US - AMericanAirlines... to name a few.... quite low.. around 80% off.. tapi standby lah.. if flight kosong je..

punye la beratur... panjang gile.. sebab full kan.. tapi nak try gaks...
so lepas beratur, told to wait till 12.15pm.... so we waited... then kena wait sampai semua org dah check-in.. and ade gak yg standby fullfare.. so apelah sangat kami ni, standby sale-fare.... so end up.. tak dapat.... so gi tiketing kaunter.. die kata boleh je guna tiket yg sama utk naik etihad/emirates..

so takyah tukar tiket, can standby for any flights yg going to Muscat..
i.e Etihad or Emirates... kekekek the perks of working with airlines yg ade fare sharing.... flight to Muscat is RM500 (total, tax inluded) pegi balik.. retail, about RM3800 ~

anyways we balik from KLIA...malam ni try etihad pula...

malam...
sial tul... beratur punye panjang.. only to be told yang tiket tu takleh pakai sebab tak tulis KUL-ABUDHABI-MUSCAT....
sebab OmanAir was direct .. KUL-MUSCAT...
bengang nak mampos ngn tiketing MAS yg tengah hari tadi.. confident je jawab.. so
dengan masa yg sikit.. berlari ke tingkat bawah.. nak tukar tiket KUL-MCT .. to KUL-ABD-MCT.... mangkuk ayun tul minah yg tghhari tadi...
bukan senang nak tuka2 tiket ni... dahla add on RM300 lagi... sbb KUL-ABD-MCT mahal sket... banyak process nak edit/refund tix nih... hish... okehla RM800 total tiket... but tak semurah RM500 aaa.. huuuu :(

barely made it... last minit.. kaunter checkin tutup 8.20.. 8.22 kot sampai kaunter...tu pon sebab mak rafiq dah bertapa kat situ, distract org tu borak2 ngn die... dahla kaunter MAS tu suruh rafiq pakai shoes and pants.. (bukan sport shoes/selipar or jean...)..kalau tak, die tanak issue boarding pas.. rase nak tampaaa pon ade.. boleh tak kasut tu kitorang carik later... buduh.... seluar tu finela, rafiq bawak kuar pants from luggage... kasut tu mane mau carik? sseb baik bapak aku pakai kasut clarks.. pinjam kejap sebulan ye bah... .. bapak aku balik pakai sport shoes nike...

ni polisi staff MAS... aku tau dulu mmg implement..
semua tiket yg discounted or yg free setahun sekali tu.. takleh pakai jeans or slipar.. tapi dengar citer in 2007 dah takyah.. and mmg aku gi US pakai jeans and sports shoes je ... tak penah la aku tak pakai jeans...

tapi ciss membengang kan aaa...

1. silap rafiq aa tak check passenger load omanAir.. silap aku sbb tak ingatkan..
2. silap BESAR NAK MAMPOS tiketing MAS tu sebab cakap camtu... bengang.. terngiang ngiang muka confident and poyo die tu... geramm...

lesson learnt !!.. pasni fly etihad/emirates je aa.. sbb everyday and banyak kosong .. wuuhuuu!

nenek sebok nak cuci kaki amir.. amir kaki ayam je malam ni....

YE BETUL !!
BIAR ENKORANG MUAK TENGOK GAMBA OlivesandApplesauce AKU HAHAHAH...

I'm LOVING IT !!!

2010-08-02T02:13:00.002+08:00

i know OlivesandApplesauce are soooo 2009... but I am so in love with mine :D !!!
now yang in... Bamberoo and Kinderpack...
so terima jela gamba2 walaupun not "IN"..... kekeekeee...
i just got this back from a 10 days temptrade... and missed it sooo much!!

and 2 people stopped me/dh and asked about it...
this one guy and his pregnant wife kat tiny tapir... trying out ergos...
we were buying tooth wipes..
then I passed the SSC to rafiq.. he snapped it on himself, i saw that guy saw rafiq wearing it...
but me and amir nak gi toilet... amir beyak..
then rafiq told me, the guy asked him where we bought ours...
and rafiq said dunno !.. haiya!.. at least jawab la online...
the guy said he liked our rainbow color hahaha... see! rainbow = husband friendly color!
then a twin stroller pushing mom asked me I bought it....later that day at midvalley...

2010-07-23T10:31:00.003+08:00

amir and lady gaga.... i mean, CAT.....
bila la ko nak sebut betul-betul amir..
org ajar tanak dengar... die lak nak mengajar kita...

and his favret roaring cat !

and mama's lazy bfast dish for amir..

sukanye aku opis baru nih....

and somehow I do feel I have much more time with amir...
cuma 2 malam per week... kena sacrifice tak tido bersama jelah...

2010-07-21T10:01:00.005+08:00

another Olives & Applesauce 18"...??
I cant justify having two carrier with similar sizing/styles etc..
except dengan cakap.. one for me and one for rafiq...
but I soooooooo want another 18" Olives & Applesauce !!! huwaaaa...

lets analyze my stash...
My Stash... (dah layak ke panggil stash? hahha)

for 2 years old onwards
18" Olives and Applesauce Earthy Rainbow Girasol Conversion, FB SSC - with fazian
~incoming toddler size SSC, I need 1 more.. so that aku ade satu, rafiq ade satu...

my brain just cant justify having to the same carrier.. walaupun justified sebenarnye... hahahah
pening pening....

do I...? should I..?

i love how amir is soo comfy in it...
but I think my comfy level could be better...

2010-07-20T19:52:00.003+08:00

errr.. please ignore the ill-fitting bra..
those aree SOOOOO not my my boobs.. it the span and fabric.. !!
now, too loose for my non full time boobs... sampai conical shape hahah...
aku pakai belasahan kat umah je..

anyways.. just demo-ing the superman toss... with a 12 kg toddler...

started when on the trip to US... flight from KUL to TPE...
I was quit pissed (dengki) with rafiq
(actually pissed at amir, tapi re-directed to rafiq)....
sebab amir tanak dok atas lap rafiq langsung.. 100% on me... was so stressed...
thinking of the long flight from TPE to LAX.. mampos kalau camni...

so alkisahnye kat security taipeh.. kena bukak everything..
so bukak carrier and dukung amir..
lepas dah keluar dari scanner... nak kena wear amir again..
tak larat nak dukung ngn tangan..
and masa ni malas gile nak ckp ngn rafiq..
so didnt wanna ask rafiq to put amir on my back...ego habis la tu..
and no kerusi nearby....
so dalam keadaan pissed off tu... figuring out how to put amir on my back..
i accidentally superman tossed amir...
adrenalin from being pissed was such a helper!.. gave me superstrength to do it...

bila terbuat... i was like whoooooaa.... so amazed...!!!
terus mood aku jadik baik balik hahhah...
after that every thing became easier.. :P

too bad i discovered i could do it... somewhat late lol ....

2010-07-19T00:35:00.005+08:00

funny how amir related old handphones with rafiq..
(blagak gile aku sbb pakai iphone hahahah)
see how he brings my hands to it and say papa....

amir seharian tak minum susu or makan.. just BF..
dah la mengering.. aku lak risau...
tapi ini la die buat bila nak bagi susu or makan.. urrrgh!!!!

2010-07-18T22:25:00.049+08:00

malas sebnanye nak gi....MBW gathering at fab mom..
sebab aku dah stashified...
nakgi kizsports sebenonyer..
tapi baru tau harga nye RM30 per entry.. gile ke ape? baik aku gi sunway lagoon..
so aku bawak amir gi mainkat fabulous mom hahha.. main free....

aku tak try any carrier... leceh tul ngn warning2 ni...
its like bila masuk rumah org, tuan rumah tu cakap... hi, jangan letak kasut atas my new precious sofa ek... poyo je... takde nye aku sebagai tetamu nak buat gitu.. tapi bila tuan rumah tak semene mene cakap gitu, aku rase ..ishkk poyonye die ni.. semua dah adult.. perlu kah...? MBW dah survive 2 tahun without all these poyoness ...temptrade dan bagai, takde isu pon..... ... i miss the days where we used to longgok everything in 1 fluffy mountain and try... babies are welcomed to swim the fluffy pile without being judged.... its just carriers for goodess sake.. if kotor, cuci aaa... tapi yea yea i know, the diplomatic thing for mbw is to set rules, kinda like a disclaimer...... aku paham, walaupun tak suka hahah .. who likes rules anyways.... hahah nasib baik aku bukan committee dahs... sukati je nak bebel...

anywayssss.... with the rules etc... still comes great people ..
people who genuinely love babywearing.. who actually wears their babies and love SHARING the babywearing loveee..who offers their slings to others to try... to temp trade.... to all my fellow babywearing mamas... you guys rockss !.. sebab korang aa aku datang, nak catch up and borak2 walhal takde try pape pon.. (also nak bg amir main hahah)

i temp trade my O and A with fazians O and A.... both are 18".. tapi hers old style.. middle stitch shoulder strap... straight waist... hoodie hood... made from lime colored didymoss elippsen wrap.. ( ito wearing my DC.. i am wearing the O and A lime)

ito wearing my O and A.. mine has flat hoodie..

i miss my O and A... hahah baru je nak jatuh cinta.. dah ditemp trade plak.....
so perfect for amir dont cha think? amir seated so comfortable.. have ruang in front of his face to play with ipod or cars...

i miss this huge pile of mess ... old style gathering..

2010-07-16T23:39:00.002+08:00

the cat doesnt want to use it..
tapi amir lak sebat....
aiyoo..

should I get this in a bigger size...?

2010-07-13T07:14:00.002+08:00

I had a nice job wheres its just 15 km from my house...
15 mins from my house...
start kul 8.30... habis 5.30...
and theres not much to do except paperwork...

why laaaarrr aku gatal nak keje nih.....!
(luahan perasaan diwaktu pagi kala, if keje lama, id still be sleeping noww)

gatal.. gatal..
was I greedy or bored2death? or crazy?

2010-07-12T20:35:00.002+08:00

As ppl might know... rafiq is currently working in Oman now..
tax free income.. but also EPF free...
die dah keje dekat 2.5 bulan and 11.5 months to go...
disebabkan ZED fares for airlines staff... then he get round trip ticket KUL-MUSCAT for RM500..
usual price.. RM3000...
so maka harusla balik every month hahaha...

The life of a full time working mom...
and full time shift working mom...
hmmm a lot of sacrifice have to be made....
boleh je aku tersadai in Subang into oblivion..
doing god knows what.... keje2 yg tak memperluaskan experience keje kau..
like being in a black hole bak kata AGM aku...
tapi disebabkan aku tamak.... I want the experience....
then aku gatal gi mintak utk keje KLIA...
its harder la... mainly b'coz of the commute...
and the working hours...

but I'm looking at the long run....
biarla bersusah dahulu...
and I should take the advantage of rafiq not being here, to do all this shit...

Anyways, back to topic.. a few people concern aku sorang with amir...
mak aku dulu, buat masters kat belgium... brought me and my sis to stay with her..
while my dad worked in Malaysia.. I was ~5, my sister was 2...
zaman itu mane SKYPE, email, IDD low cost charges...
to communicate with my dad, we record our message onto cassette tapes.. and send via snail mail...
if we go out.. and mak aku nak pee.. kitorang both have to go in.. and face the lavatory doors...
punye lah...

so cuba bandingkan... mak aku jaga 2 org anak.... aku jaga sorang
mak aku kat negara asing... takde sedara mara... aku kat mesia ramai je sedara mara utk membantu
mak aku takde teknologi nak membantu... aku ade macam2 at my disposal.. skelip mata je leh email/skype
rafiq pulak balik every month

so if she can do it.... I can...
itu baru nama superwoman...... (her, not me)
sekian terima kasih...

2010-07-11T17:35:00.002+08:00

so empuksss!! wearing my ER WC OlivesAndApplesauce 18" at the pesta flora putrajaya
my mom nak gi... semalam dah gi, tapi org tak bagi die masuk ..so I bawak her.. sian
and also mengekor.. my brother...
but amir nak tatak.. so I had to wear him at the front... and wear him a bit lowered... shoulder straps ketepikan sket... so he is nursing thru most of this pics...

2010-07-09T18:37:00.002+08:00

amir dah tak eksyen ngn papa...
dulu cam ala-ala merajuk.. bila rafiq call..video.. die tanak tengok..
skang cam cool je..
siap sayang monitor lagi...

sila rotate sendiri la ek

2010-07-08T16:18:00.002+08:00

amir... die tak suka tapak tangan kotor.. or tapak kaki kotor...
bila kena main kat tempat2 playground yg die kena bukak kasut...
kang die jalan jengket2 hahahaha....macam pakai imaginary high heels...
aku plak mmg selalu tak bawak his kasut...
so kalau main kat toys r us ke.. tak pakai kasut aaa...
so die jengket2....so kelakar hahahah...
kalau die tak tahan.. kang die jerit2 panggil aku, pegang kaki...suruh aku wipe down kaki die..
then sambung jengket2 ....

lepas tu.. if his tapak tangan got dust/dirt...
pun suruh aku wipe....
can be seen in these videos, how he's so concerned with dirt on his hands.... LOL

2010-07-07T23:15:00.002+08:00
