semoga urusan papa dipermudahkan Allah...

Mai kids are mai soul

mai kids are mai soul...they are the main reason i'm smiling everyday, the one that keeps me strong and grow. the ones that teach me patience and positivity...they are my addiction!!

setiap kali berpisah dgn anak2, sekalipun hanya untuk sejam dua, i'll hug them very tight and kiss them a lot... i wouldn't dare walk out the door without hugging or kissing them even knowing they'll cry seeing me in nice dresses bertudung siap,but leaving them behind... leaving them quietly just for the sake of not wanting to make them cry is never an option. i mean, i'd rather see them crying knowing me leaving rather than leaving them quietly...afraid that, that's gonna be my last hug.you never know right?

i understand, we especially mothers are very attached to our kids. it is almost hard to leave them even for an hour. my kids especially rifqi mmg xboleh berenggang.kalau ada kat rumah mmg senantiasa nak melepek sebelah mama...kalau letak sebelah pon xmau..nak kena berdukung juga.tu yg sampai kes, mama masuk toilet dia nak teman jugak.

see his make-pity faces sambil peluk kaki xbg lepas.....
mmg cair la hati mama dia..huhuhu

don't get me wrong.it doesn't mean that i don't like my kids being this way...to be frank, i'm quite relief they can't resist me they way they are irresistable to me. that way i know that they need me, love me :) and i don't mind having to hold them while cooking just to stop them from crying, i don't mind giving them the attention they want as much as i can give... i just can't stand seeing them sad or dissapointed..

sometimes distance is good. an hour distance, a day distance is a nice therapy i think. it makes us appreciate our children more.even when we're at work, we can't help but to think about our kids at home/nursery..are they having a good day, are they eating well, what are they watching on tv, do they coop well with their sibblings/friends...are they ok? that's the credit of being a full-time-housewives(FTHW) i guess...they got to see their kids grow every minute, shape their kids the way they want without bad influences from outsiders, and the kids are like their Masters/PhD thesis... there's no bigger success that seeing your kids grow being a good caliphs,kan? so, to mothers who are a FTHW, jgn ambik pusing kata2 yang mengecil2kan anda.walaupon anda pemegang diploma,degree,master hatta phd sekalipon, pahala yg anda kumpul kerana menjadi ibu sepenuh masa kepada anak2 dan isteri sepenuh masa yang menjaga kebajikan dirumah insyaAllah jaaauuuhhh lebih hebat drpd saya yg bekerja.bayangkan,sekali kita pandang anak2 dengan penuh kasih sayang, itu sudah pahala, belum lagi kita yg suapkan makannya, memakaikan pakaiannya, mengajar mereka secara langsung atau tidak, menidurkan mereka, memberi kata2 perangsang kepada mereka etc.kadang2 pernah juga tahu yg ibu2 sepenuh masa ni susah hati kerana tidak dpt membantu ibu bapa yg membesarkan mereka kerana tiada pendapatan tetap setiap bulan.mengambil kata2 seorang tok guru yg saya hormati, walaupon ibu2 sepenuh masa ini tidak bekerja dan tiada pendapatan untuk membantu ibu bapa mereka sendiri, ingatlah bahawa ketaatan anda kepada suami anda dan usaha anda menjadi ibu kepada anak2 anda ada bahagian(pahala) kepada ibu bapa anda.pahala itu mengalir kepada mereka dengan syarat kita menjaga hak2 kita sebagai isteri spt menunaikan solat, menutup aurat dan melaksanakan kewajipan yg wajib lainnya dan meninggalkan laranganNya.insyaAllah...Allah kan Maha Kaya! (eh, macam lari topik pulak..heheh)

anyway, i'm leaving rayyan n rifqi at my in laws just now after celebrating rayyan's birthday..my mom needs my maid's help so, the kids have to tag along...God, it was hard to let go! bukan lama pon,xsampai 24hours...but the feelings of not being able to sleep with them, hug them at night, wake up to their beautiful smiles and all makes it hard to let go... rayyan salam, hug me, kiss me at both my cheeks n forehead(tiru papa dia..huhuh), but still it's not enough..hug rifqi sooooo tight,kiss him hard but still, it's not enough...Subhanallah, ini baru dugaan kecil.

when i told my friends, families about me going away for 6months leaving the kids behind, some are being so sceptical. i know there's a lot to go through but at the same time, it's not impossible. i'm seriously trying to be very positive about this matter from the 1st time i took the decision to go. everyday i keep telling myself that i'm gonna be okay. i'm hoping others wouldn't pity me but please pray for me...pray that Allah would grant me the strength, the love, the sanity to survive. Please stop worrying about me..insyaAllah, i'll be fine... i know i'll be fine... and to friends who keep me strong, trust in me and tune me into being positive, may Allah repay your kindness! i hope nothing more than your doa'.

ramadhan is approaching... bulan yang mulia untuk meminta kepadaNya...bulan untuk menggandakan pahala...bulan yg penuh rahmah. semoga Allah beri kekuatan, hidayah, kasih sayang, dan pertolonganNya kepada kita semua....

Rayyan is 4!

selamat hari lahir rayyan oniichan! pejam celik dah 4tahun anak mama...semakin hari, semakin petah, lincah, caring, bijak, handsome, mature dan sweet! kalau nk disenaraikan pengalaman berhadapan dengan keletah si anak ini, xtersenarai rasanya..kalau bole, every precious moment tu nk record n simpan buat tatapan anakanda bila dewasa nnti..

Burt's Bees shampoo review

as i promised ages ago... i'm gonna give you'll who've been asking about the burt's bees product especially their shampoos range... specifically i'mm gonna write about the one that i'm currently using, the More Moisture Raspberry & Brazil Nut Shampoo & it's conditioner ..the main ingredients in these two is rasberry extract which is rich with antioxidants.let me make it in points

1.  the 1st thing i love about these product line is that they are all made from natural product and they even wrote it on the bottle.like the ones i'm using,shampoo is 98.12% natural whilst the conditioner is 97.52% from natural ingedients...don't u just love it!you won't feel bad using an almost 100% organic skin care/hair care etc. would you?..no harm to the environment and definitely skin friendly...
2. the smell..oh,the smell makes me goes oohh..ahhhs..and fresh every after wash...like i wanna wash my hair daily...i think that's not a bad idea because it's mostly organic,no? my hubby even compliment my smell and he's loving it too...no more suns*lk after this, i guess
3. the way it maintain my hair volume even after i took my scarf off...u see, before this..everytime i took off my scarf from a long day at work...my hair will look dull and penyek..if u know what i mean...it's like silky, and no volume at all...that makes my hair rasa cam terkepuk..kepam..that sort of feelings... but burt's bees shampoo, keep my hair volume and i don't feel my hair like terpenyek anymore...the volume stays! i likee!! this is the biggest reason i'm gonna stay with these babies..until i get bored  beautiful,healthy hair naturally
4. i think those 3 sums up everything well enough..hehehe..i'm literally going nuts about these 2!

of course, the price is way higher than the previous S*nsilk product i've been using...alah membeli,menang memakai kan...it's around rm50++ per bottle if i'm not mistaken..

next, is the rosewater...i love this toner ..99.98%natural.. :))) for me, this toner is not in much different from the other products i've used but it's more soothing n cooling..it comes in a glass packaging...quite heavy n definitely not baby friendly(of course laa kan? it's not like a baby's gonna use it in any way)..sangat bahaya ok,kalau any of my boys yg juga eager dgn makeup capai n drop it! horror!! ke jatuh xpecah??hehehe..

other than the hair products, i bought their Tinted Lip Balm in red dahlia.seriously i'm in love with this lip balm..fyi, lip balm is one my must-have-thing inside my purse.my lips always gets dry n this is my savior... it gives a sweet fruity smell and it doesn't feel melekit2..it contains shea butter that helps nourishing addition moisturizers, reduction of wrinkles and to improve the elasticity of the skin and protect it against environmental aging.

one more lip balm is the Super Glossy Lip Shine .. love this too.i got this for free! although the name is super glossy,it doesn't glitters like some gloss do..featured ingredients in this lip shine is sweet almond oil.love this one too.the best thing about both of the lips product is that they are 100% natural!! unfortunately, i misplace both of them..being a person who always switch handbags...this things always happens and it always involves the things i love..missing in action!

(pictures from burt's bees)

and i also get these trial set of deep cleansing cream and deep pore scrub.. tried both.the cleansing is like minty after wash..muka rasa berangin.n jangan sampai termasuk mata sbb agak pedih sbb dia berangin... not really fancy this tho.. but the scrub is ok..it's just that i rarely use scrubs...so, can't really say much..

apart from that, burt's bees also have ranges of product for babies,men and many more.. i bought mine at sunway piramid..i don't know their other outlet but i really hope they have stores in japan..if not i might have to bring those shampoos along...hik3..

owh, and that rm10 voucher.. i forgot i have it! must check the expired date..kalau tak rugi!!

so,to those who're looking for a new hair product, i highly recommend you burt's bees hair care!!

i'm thinking about trying their skin care products later.this almost 100% natural products definitely is alluring!

next,i'm gonna give review about some of the Yves Rocher product i bought last week.anyone's using it?

sharing is caring,right??

bye2,darlings!

have a good monday!!

p/s: good luck to my hunny-bunny-hubby..semoga Allah permudahkan segalan urusannya

Rifqi starts walking independently

rayyan started walking at the age of 1year old..that time we're in japan for a short stay... i still remember vividly how he walked n fell over n over again n never complain or stop trying... he's one brave boy!

now, rifqi has started walking himself...he's now 1year 2months..i was kinda worry if i'm not given the chance to witness his first step before september... i think it'll keep me at ease to go only after i watch all of his early years achievements n being among the first to see him making his first steps is one of my dream.alhamdulillah, Allah granted my wish. i'm too excited about it!! seriously... i took him to the mall to experience the escalator, gave him the freedom to go anywhere in the wide space in his tiny shoes(well,actually it was rayyan's..hehehe..waris kat adik), took him to the playground and Subhanallah he's just as excited as i am! sweating all over his body...

so this is the video i took yesterday after coming back from work...rifqi's trying to open the gate and after this video was taken badan dia tersepit in between it..heheheh..tp buat muka cool je xnanges pon!

this is him walking and singing!! bukan main bahagia dia dapat jalan2 atas jalan

alhamdulillah!

omedetou rifqi aydeen!!

mmmuuaahh

Mai very 1st skirt

been thinking about making mai own skirt for a long time..but i don't have the guts to cut a huge fabric ending up fail or not satisfied with the end result.plus, i don't have baby girl in the house to make as a model .. but last night(early morning actually.heheh) i made this petite skirt for a 2year old girl..her birthday was last month..so this is as her belated birthday gift..and a trial for me to make a my 1st move on making skirts.to be frank, i'm enjoying it! of course there's sticthing n unstiching process along the way but i'm loving it...maybe i should try getting myself into little girls stuff... and later find my way on making dresses for girls pulak...heheheh

i made this 3 tiered skirt using the jersey fabric my sister gave me sometime ago...this is my first time using this kind of fabric and really it is challenging but i find it easy to make the ruffle with jerseys...3tiered is harder that the normal simple skirt but it's worth the try.i have many more jerseys to get them into shape of something...but i have yet to find the ideas..

this is the cute skirt

i mesure rayyan n rifqi's waist as the guideline to the little girl's waist..agak2 lebih kurang.hopefully she fits into it 

the best thing about jersey is that you don't have to serge :)

i'm excited to make my own skirt

:)
