Swimming Lesson at Park Royal Penang

Hello guys, happy BESTday to those celebrating today as their birthday!! hehe..awesome what, leap year babies..i guess u r dying to wait for another birthday huhh..bukan senang hokey! I bet your families too r dying to celebrate your bufday what..hehe [jgn marah..joking guys]

We are travelling back into year 2010..hey this is our life story, so just wait till we get the right time ok..haha..
During the 2nd International Conference on Research and Technology 2010 (ICERT) held in Park Royal Penang, we brought these 2 kids along..when Mummy registered for poster presenter [ye, poster je pon..kahkah], Daddy dragged them into hotel room and rested until I have free time. Petang masa terbaik untuk swimming..lepas bangun tidur, terus headed to hotel's pool..



Nadhir was actually tring to run away from his daddy..

At first Nadhir was so, so scared to go down the water..see his face..wondering if the water is too deep for him agaknye..padahal paras pinggang adik je..hehe but look at his younger brother..

Gigit jari je die..hehe

Then he slowly buat-buat berani..i guess he was building his confidence level..or trying to show off..hehe

Konon-konon tengah basahkan rambut adik die..

I just watched his movements and keep snapped their pics..tak bolehla nak paksa young child kan..so I just let him mundar-mandir ke sana ke sini..and suddenly, he slowly approached his daddy asking to go down the water..and TARAAAA...eventually he made it!! I know he has the courage to do so..just give him some time to think, to feel comfortable, to whatever he needs to make him stronger..bagi can la, jangan perkecilkan kebolehan anak2 kecil..diorang still learn to know their world..so I feel so grateful for his progress, believe me..this is a BIG progress for him..and we cheered for him...hurrah baby!!

Nafiz aka Adik

Daddy was trying to balacing the babies..yes he struggled to do so..haha









Child is a blessing from God

Today I cancelled my plan to go to UKM, indeed I have no plan at all..hehe..So since this morning, I'm just doing laundry, cleaning the cat's poop [lagi sikit nak terpijak mase tgh sidai kain] SABO JELA, ni lain tak bukan si parsy oren gemok tu..[perut die labuh sampai ke tanah, comey!!], having 'fast breakfast' with my hubby, and so on..so, today is all about housekeeping! The moment my husband left me alone for solat jumaat..immediately i ON my laptop, thinking to start writing my 1st journal for my PhD..tapi BOOM!! That idea suddenly changed to updating my blog..huahua..

Actually, updating basi stories..so year 2008 was our 1st Aidil Fitri celebrated as parents, unfortunately most of our pics not including his father [sebab daddynye la photographer]..hehe sorry daddy :) U can see the baby's bump of mine..yes, I was already 4 and half months during that time..and actually we just know the fact that I was pregnant when my baby in there hit almost 4 months..OMG, unbelievable right! U must think that I am crazy to not notice the changes, right??

Actually sepanjang carrying my 2nd baby, saya takde mengalami sebarang alahan..not even a single 'notification' to give me an idea that I'm pregnant at that time. I was wearing high heels to work every day, malah pernah berlari dengan high heels sebab terlambat ke makmal (agak jauh dari bilik pensyarah)..my precious baby was still intact, protected by God and angels I believed that! When the doc confirmed the urine test, I was like 'stumbled', startled and giving a silent response to him..while my husband giving the most happiest face! Mana tidaknye, saya ambil implanon RM600++ sebab nak jarakkan anak & ade plan nak ke oversea to further my PhD..tapi ini semua kuasa Allah kan. We have to believe this!

Saya ambil masa seminggu untuk buang semua tekanan, depan org saya gelak..tapi dlm hati aje yg tau betapa stressnye sbb belum bersedia. I was sooo naive at that time, but later my husband said this to me which had really soothing me: "Mummy, kita akan sentiasa bersama tak kira susah @ senang, kita akan hadapinya bersama"..Alhamdulillah mengandungkan Nafiz la yg plg senang, malah saya sampai ke GH doc ckp dah terbuka 8cm..siap nurse ckp, inilah 1st time saya tgk ibu deliver normally tanpa keluar setitik peluh..sakit mmg sakit, tapi Allah permudahkan prosesnya..tak lama.

Left: Nafiz, 2 months
Right: Nadhir, 1 year ++

When Our Second Child Arrives..

Later as Nadhir reached 11 months, we received another baby boy..named as Muhammad Nafiz Idlan..which means Yang Menegakkan Keadilan. He was born on 2 February 2009, and now became the second grandson. Alhamdulillah Nadhir takdela jealous with his new buddy, as I still send him to his grandma's house everyday..dekat sana semua orang melayan die..so he never cares to have a younger brother at his age..but I do, actually! Takut tak dapat layan Nad macam dulu..

Nadhir, baru 11 bulan masa ni..

It was also a bit chaos at first few months, as our new maid (it was my 1st experience hiring maid) wasn't very efficient handling babies. But luckily my grandma has been so helpful to come over our house, all the way from Taiping. She was just returned from Mekah at that time, hearing that we hired maid to look after our boys gave her uneasy feeling..hehe. Jadi Tok la yg masakkan makanan pantang saya selama sebulan. Terima kasih Tok..actually Tok yg besarkan saya dari saya berumur 2 bulan, dan saya masih balik ke Taiping setiapkali bercuti. So now we called her Nyang (panggilan untuk moyang, i guess :p..)

Juggling between office works, new baby, and my whole family gave me a quite big stress and pressures..huhu..but after several months with my husband's help, we managed to cope with the new situation, shall I name it..hehe..

So just after 2 years of marriage, we have 2 baby boys already..Alhamdulillah, ini jugak rezeki kan..anak2 adalah amanah Allah, juga suatu bentuk rezeki daripadaNya..setiap kelahiran itu datang bersama rezeki mereka sendiri, sudah tertulis di Luh Mahfuz..jadi kami terima dengan penuh kesyukuran..malah a week before his birth, kami telah berpindah ke rumah baru..so yes, rezeki anak!

Meet my 1st child..

Meet my precious..Muhammad Nadhir Ibtisam bin Mohd Nazry..born on 13 March 2008..inilah cucu yang ditunggu-tunggu sekian lama oleh my family in-law..cucu pertama Tok & Wan sebelah suami saya. While on my side, Nad adalah cucu ke..errr jap nak bilang..ramai sangat..nama anak2 buah pon saya tak ingat..mana tidaknye, saya anak ke-7 daripada 9 beradik. So, yes..saya kena bilang dulu ye..hehe..err kena tanya nenek & atuk di Kelantan dulu..itu pun kalau diorang ingat..haha..

Erti namanya adalah Senyuman Yang Berseri-seri..dialah yang pertama bagi segala-galanya..anak pertama, cucu pertama, anak saudara pertama. His presence is celebrated with a million of smiles, tears and laughters.

I was admitted into KMC labour ward around 10.30 am tanpa rasa sakit..but my O&G specialist, Dr Kang Chong Bean informed us that the 'pathway' has been opened around 2 cm. Terus rasa kecut perut, saya seperti nak jerit "I am not ready today, doc!". 13 jam yg menyeksakan, 2 kali induced..and eventually around 10pm, my soft-spoken doc sat besides me, gently touching my forehead and said this: "Laili, we have to do caesarian..baby hampir lemas, we are in condition called as "cord-around-neck"..so immediately they rushed me into operation theatre ..hanya pada pukul 11 malam baru Nad selamat dilahirkan through c-sect..Ahamdulillah, tapi saya cuma dapat jumpa Nad after 2 days..itupun right before I was discharged from the hospital, with abundant of bills..hehe..

Cuma dengar cerita from my hubby, like: "Lepas Abah habis azan di telinga die, tiba2 je baby bukak mata tgk Abah, sebak rasa!", "Abah tengok semua baby dlm nursery tu muka sama ja, takleh nak beza pun"...and so on...huwaaa sedih ok!

But, yes! He is the true joy..and our family journey begins..
