twirl around the life of 'ME'

my daughter turns 6 months old today!!

can't believe time files so fast. 6 months ago, she's just my little baby... but now she's on the 'move' trying to crawl. so cute.. now she knows what to do when we asked her to like 'sayang mama'.. or 'sayang baba'... and she will put her tiny fingers on our cheek and she'll smile... and few other things she's now understand what it means.... i think...

here's some pictures of her

i know the 'Save the Earth' day has passed by...but it doesn't mean that we could just ignore the intention to be part of it... it doesn't mean that we could just proceed with our routine and wait another year for 'Save the Earth' day to come by....

its not easy as it seems actually to make an initial steps in saving the environment. but at least we could try as hard as we could with a small simple matter... such as switched off lights/fans/any electrical thingy if its not in use...do not use air-cond if its unnecessary... like Jusco is also calling out customers to use their Jusco shopping bag to reduce the plastic bags consumption...

and for me, i always remind myself , mainly in electricity usage, but currently, i'm into Cloth Diaper (yea, lately everything is for the beloved daughter, hihi) ... yerp, bakc to the years when we were babies, our mothers used to wear us with those traditional cloth diaper... at first i thought, its gonna be quite tough since first, you have to buy the CD (at least a baby needs 6-8 CDs a day), secondly to rinse out the soiled diaper before washing...and its also a bit of difficult on how to use, how to wash, how to care diapers at first... but once you starts, everything become as easy as using disposable diapers.

and based on the experience, currently i only have 5 CD's and yerp for sure i have to wash it everyday and everynight, but i can see that we hardly 'touch' the disposable diapers, even my mum and in-laws...they getting use to using the CD...and i'm a bit of proud of myself that at first attempt we can actually save a little $$ on diapers.

Hence, i have to buy another set of CD's cos 5 isnt enough..hehehe...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! .... to me... hi hi...

received a bouquet of flowers, Calla Lilies, and a box of Famous Amos cookies from my beloved hubby...yeay...never thought he'd be buying flowers for me...i usually get like a simple birthday card, a simple present, and as far as i remember i did told him that flowers wouldn't be my expectation...especially roses. not that i hate roses, i like roses...but they wont 'live' long enough..hehe...i am more fond of lilies...especially stargazer lilies...the soothing smell of lilies ...

and i don't expect any from my parents...hehehe...yeah, at this kind of age..hi hi... but mama gave me a present, a brooch...thanks ma...and a wish from wan and zaki, my cousins ..and my friends...

thought of buying a cake for the family later...

Thanks for the wish y'all... :)

actually, yesterday was the last day of Syawal. but who cares, we just celebrate the last day of raya a day after. heheh...
today our floor is having a pot luck. we'd planned this since early weeks of syawal.. but since everyone was caught up with work, especially with the sale of our 7,000 dwt tanker vessel, MT Rohas Ria, with Nigerian
- fried mee
- lemang and rendang tok
- nasi lemak
- roti jala and kari daging
- rendang ayam
- orange cake
- fruit cocktail
- lemon cheesecake
- and drinkss..

phew... enough to eat till end of the day... teehee...
i brought orange cake.. yup, i baked it myself...am sure it became a lot less tempting to eat...but i finally baked my 1st cake after all. by the end of the day, the tray was spat clean...habis jugak, yer...

this year raya will be my first raya in KL. i'll be celebrating raya with my inlaws while my family will be in KB. we decided to celebrate raya in KL 'cos of our little baby hannani. she 's 3 months now. actually we could travel but she'll be uncomfortable, not having good deep sleep and it will upset her. me as a concerned mother do not want that happen to my lil' baby gurl.

preparation for raya? well for me, as usual, 2 sets of baju kurung.(japanese cotton and a sari). that kain sari was a gift from MIL. my tailor said that at the moment i could not make any kebaya since i just gave birth. my weight and body size will keep changing. that is what she said. so no kebaya to wear for herma's reception.
