Life...in general, after a year..(again)

Assalamualaikum & good day everybody!
Gosh another year pass by us so quickly!
Last year, I wrote this after one year graduating from UMP.
So, after 2 years graduating and a year and a half working, this is a new list I came up upon to remind myself to be grateful, again!

1. I had a beautiful baby boy!
The name is Keyaan, weights 2.28kg during birth, and now weights a lil over 4kg.
In another 6 days he will be 3 months.
I admit the first one and a half month is quite boring as he just sleeps all the time.
Now that he's more responsive, giggling and cooing, its more fun!
He loves going out, talking in his own language and a camwhore at heart.
He fits right in!
I don't know whether he knows it or not, but I hate kids.
And so, he is the sweetest kid around cos he cry only when he wants to eat or too sleepy or when the water is cold during bath time.
Other than that, he's pretty fun to have around. 

Mommy with Keyaan having fun!

2. The hubby.
I'm blessed with this one. Very helpful!
He tidy the house, tidy up after I cook and we ate, he take care of the baby so I could get enough rest and bath and so on, he's there through my breakdowns and of course when I'm up.
I'm blessed with this guy and could not imagine myself without him anymore.
For my birthday, he bought me an Iphone 5 and a house.
I feel so grown up getting a house.
Thank you hubby for being the best! <3 p="">

Daddy trying to cut Keyaan's nails cause I'm scared to do so.

The two boncet boys watching tv,

3. My performance, for two years in a row, is excellent. Nuff said. :)


4. The youngest and only lady who receive best engineer in engineering in Engineering Hall of Fame.
There's 12 engineers all together, and I'm the only one lady and the youngest of all.
That, my dear, is a personal best.
I've saved more than 50,000 USD last year for my project, and I'm going to save more this year, you can count on that alright!

5. Gain silver belt (Green belt) in IQP less than a year. 
It took me 4 months of solving and 3 months of sustain. Woohoo.

6. House.
Finally a house to call home!
We have been searching for one for nearly two years, and we finally found one that both of us like.
Its quite huge actually, 24 x 65, and the its a second hand home, but we saved a lot there!
The previous owner have done all the wiring, extended the kitchen, fully tiles, and add in a laundry room.
There's also four rooms, and 3 bathroom.
Hubby said he'll give me permission to add a bath tub to the master bathroom. Weee!
And he also gave me a room for my stuff.
Which meansssss, I could serakkan everything!
Weee~~

7. Business.
Oh yes, my other baby is finally out!
All the creative side of me is emerging. LOL.
I have preorder baby clothes and toys, fresh flowers for occasion, diaper cake or newborn cake, hantaran and so on!
Totally love it, and gaining customers slowly.
:)

8. Insurance.
Owie such a grown up stuff I used to think.
But I'm going to have one as if anything happen to me, I still have something left for my family.

9. Directly reporting to manager.
Do you know that junior engineer could only reports to senior engineer who reports to principal engineer who will reports to manager?
Yeah I kinda skip all that and directly reports to the manager.
How cool is that?

10. Iphone 5.
I. Love. it.
^___^

11. Blessed, blessed, blessed with friends and family.
Anything you do, this is the most important thing!


My plan for future:
:: Probably getting a master and apply for lecturer.
:: Probably open my own shop, at pasar malam or bazar karat first.
:: Have a home office.
:: Threw party at home
:: Bug my brother to pick me as his wedding planner.
:: Get best of best engineer again.
:: Go holiday!
:: Have fun!

On motherhood and a respond to Janine Kovak

After reading the letter, I feel envious to that "Doris" who played with her Iphone all thru convo, doing her career woman stuff. Truthfully, I couldn't cope. There are some who loves kids, and there are some, who like me, kids are fine, when they are someone's else.

The pregnancy was unexpected. I was what the doctor called "non-fertile", I weight way more than the recommended weight, my menses are playing havoc, unsteady hormone and so on. So I happily thought, I'm not gonna get pregnant, naah, not in a million years. But then after 5 months without menses, I have the urge to pee on a stick. Yes, in the middle of the night, at 3am, with my husband 100km away from me. And the two lines appeared. I was like, what the fuck? No, I can't be a mom, I'm too young! This went on until morning, at 7am, I went to clinic to get checked up and "Congratulations! You are pregnant!". As the good doctor smile, I feel sick. Suddenly. I puke and all my bones aches.

I feel like I've been sentenced to death. I don't want a child, I cried. I'm too young, I hate kids, and all sort of feelings overwhelm me. Less than a week, I tried to be on positive side. I'd google on what babies like, what they should ate, what they do, blah2. I bought cloth diaper *because they save a lot of money, they are million times better for you*, I downloaded all the app regarding babies, I bought the best postnatal care *tanamera, still the best*  in fact I do all sort of research.

Then come the dreaded day of check up. Every month, I will get berated, either not gaining much weight (none, for the first 5 month) to too much weight (5kg during raya) then to not gaining much weight again(none, or less than the desired weight). Next I was given lecture. By anyone who happens to know I'm pregnant. Don't eat durian, don't eat pineapples, don't drink softdrink, don't that don't this. By my 35th week, I've started bleeding as I'm too active. I took early leave. Then I've waited, and waited, and waited. He stopped moving the last week before my due date, so I have to stay in hospital for two days. Then I got checked out, and on Tuesday, if he still won't come out, I'll be having forced labor. On Monday, I delivered him. Still, nothing. No mothering feelings, nothing. I've waited, and I'm tired and sore, and I just want to sleep. Then went I went back, I nursed. Day and night, with sore buds and nearly non stop nursing, I got tired and stressed out. Even hating him a little. I don't feel any "special bond when nursing". None. Nada. I got worried. I know I'm not ready, but I thought it will change once I gave birth.

Even until now, 2 months later, I only have little to none. Sometimes it's fun when he started laughing and so on, but when he cried, I feel like giving up, and give him to someone else (often, my husband). I look at my friends, with their breast fed child *mine went totally formula*, with their surviving on so little sleep *I'll argue with husband on whose turn to nurse/bath/change the baby* on them gushing on their baby, I feel so tired pretending. I guess there are people with maternal instinct. And then, there's Doris and me. I'd like to look at my Iphone more than my child. I'd like to go out without having to have 3 bags, all for one little baby. I'd like to go to anywhere without worrying about whether the milk is enough for him. And I got tired of people giving "advice" on how I should raise him. Are your child perfect? No? Then stop telling me advice. I hate it.

So, Doris, held your head high. Don't just follow what people tell you to do, at least you won't regret in the long term. I'm thinking of having an only child. One is maybe too many for me. We'll see. Maybe I'll grow up and learn responsibilities. Maybe...

And those cloth diaper that I bought? They are looking lovely in the cupboard. None used. Oh and I love Whoppee's diaper. Drypac, Drypers, Pet Pet all not working for me.

Fisher Price rocker murah and many more!

Hello everyone!
It's been two months being a mommy now, and enjoying very much, except when the baby scream his head off. But since that is normal, can't complaint!

I was bored with my day job, and was looking around for business opportunities when I thought, what about doing a baby gift or hamper online? I got so many hampers the other day that I think this is a good one. and  we all know, baby things are expensive! Then, I came on this wholesale toys, and they are selling it cheap, but have to buy a lot (wholesale). So why don't I'll open a pre order for these items?

Seriously, I bought the Fisher Price rocker for RM280 taw. Bloody expensive! I saw in Jusco is RM365.
So, I found this and would love to sell these items to those who want to buy it cheaper, so I'm selling the Fisher Price rocker for RM190! And those Lamaze's inchworm/horse/dino? I saw the Lamaze sell at RM49.90, and I'm only selling it for RM28! The horse and dino for RM25! Cheap, isn't it?

RM28

RM25

RM25


Not only I'm selling cheaper toys, there's also clothes and gift too!
For example this The Cook Cake :

RM60


This rocker seriously give me more leisure time and my baby loves to sleep in it, compare to his own bed. See how this angel sleep soundly in his rocker!
