sew in LoVe~

been up to sewing things lately since i put up mai little working space...it's a share room with emir's work space which of course mostly consist of boxes of car parts..heheh..we get to have half of the room each...i'm happy because i love this room soo soo much. cozier and lotsa windows to take my mind away while doing my work.

 

 

alhamdulillah, since i started sewing back, i'm getting more organized and productive. been eager to sew something new, learn new tricks and all.it feels like i'm falling back in love :)

 

and then, i started this passport holder wallet for maiself as now i have 4passports to take care of.. last trip with mil and emir's aunt, i have to hold a total of 6passport at one time and it was not cool to have to search all over my big bag to search for passports..that includes immigration papers and all.. i thought, how easy it would be if everything is in one place when you need it...and then, i came across this...am i not a happy lady? hehehe

 

 

then,rezeki Allah nk bagi, friends and family are ordering and i'm making bunch of them... i love chosing n mixing the fabrics for them... for those who're wondering, the prices are rm48 for 4pockets & rm52 for 6pockets.backed with interfacing to make it sturdy and completed with snap closure :)

 

 

 

 this one i made for maiself, but then i decided to give it as a surprise gift for my sister.. i think she can use this everytime she go to pasar :))

 

 

 

and then, i made this lovely dress for lil maryam

 

now, i'm making my way on a new project.. a quilt.. hope to be a big one..been making the blocks since last week..i want these heart blocks in mai 1st quilt but i don't know how to arrange them just yet.. been on that these few days and can't really decide.. i really need my cutting mat and omnigrid ruler..pleaseee~

 

 

 

that's it!

 

sewing is indeed therapeutic for me!

 

 it's already autumn n i'm in love!

Our life together isn’t always easy. We made hard choices together, we don't know what's waiting for us..nothing is for sure but we know everything's gonna be alright as long as we have each other!

It's our 7th year anniversary but i don't know why it feels like yesterday falling for you... Loving you was always so easy, being loved by you was a dream come true.

This year, situation changes. A brand new year in our marriage in the country where we met for the 1st time..with the kids to cheer our life, what more can i ask? sometimes we might take 'us' for granted to give spaces for the kids, but let’s get back to basics… to you, to me, and our love. The one thing that’s lasting and true.

Because after all, that’s where we started, and that’s where we should always be.

 

Thank you for all the yesterdays,

I cherish your love today,

and look forward to all the tomorrows

 

 

Happy Anniversary, sayangg!

Dari jauh dia datang..- kisah sebuah stroller

 

one of the thing i love about staying here is the convenience of shopping online..not only conveniece but reliable. kalau kat msia, biasanya berani shopping baju je online...opss, pernah jugak beli sayur online.. itu pon sbb offer kat dealmates.. heheh.. kalau kat nihon, segala benda pon boleh beli online.. not only locally but internationally..rasanya xpernah lagi order brg dr US or europe from malaysia..one of the reason, depa biasanya takde shipment sampai malaysia.. kena ada hub address kat US or something like that.. malas nk amek tau sbb leceh.. pernah beli mesin jahit kat US, tp hantar address rumah kawan n tumpang kontena dia. kebetulan dia nk anta barang ke msia.. lucky me, dpt mesin jahit harga 2k++ dengan harga only rm700

 

this time around, dah mula bergiat kembali online shopping.tp kali ni lebih berhemah sbb pakai duit cik abang..kalau duit sendiri, xkesah je..hehehe.. 

 

apa yg kami idamkan sekarang??

 

this!

 

 

eh! kenapa warna oren nampak lagi menawan??  kitorang pilih purple sbb nama dia 'purpleness'..hahaha.. menawan jugak..kan??

we purchased it last sunday, estimated to arrived next monday. amek yg express, tp xberapa nk express jugak sbb banyak laluannya..huhuh..kena custom clearance bagai.. tp seronok jugak track benda ni.. mcm mengembara.. harini basikal ni dah sampai jepun..esok lusa, sampai la kat rumah insyaAllah :)) semoga selamat perjalananmu, 'Purpleness'!!

 

kenapa nk beli jauh2?

 

fyi, harga stroller ni kat jepun paling murah pon 21000yen camtu..itu harga online..kalau harga kedai, lagi mahal kot..kalau convert duit msia dlm rm800++ .. mak aihh, mahal bebenor.. papa hampir2 dah nk beli.. sbb kes darurat xlarat jalan kaki dukung rifqi yg cranky bila kena jalan..tetiba terfikir amazon US.. bila usha2, harganya hampir separuh dpd harga kat sini... bila campur penghantaran pon masih lagi berbaloi..siap boleh express shipment lagi..so, beli la kat US..so korang pon, boleh la usha2 brg kat amazon.. banding2kan harga..

 

lepas ni, senang la nak kuar jalan2..gi shopping ke, gi disnyeland ke..hehehe.. dah boleh la pergi anta abg rayyan pergi sekolah naik stroller ni..xde la nk gaduh2 dengan rifqi yg kejap2 asek cakap,'iqi penaattt' laa.. 'sakit perut' laa.. uishh, macam2 lakonan budak ni..lakonan kalah aaron aziz..abg rayyan pon, boleh la menenggek kat blkg tu lps balik sekolah..kesian abg rayyan jeles asek rifqi je dpt dukung..skg ni, korang dua2 dok dlm ni..

 

sebenarnya kami mengidam nak beskal ni.. kalau kat msia, jangan harap la nak naik basikal..pergi kedai dekat2 pon naik kereta.. bila sampai jepun ni, automatic pandai je naik basikal. especially kalau kat bandar2 besar..kat area rumah kitorang ni pon sbnrnya lebih jimat naik basikal sbb parking kereta mahal.. kalau kat toyama or area kampung2 tu, naik kereta xpe sbb parking free banyak..

 

anyway,harga basikal biasa dengan seat depan blkg dlm 40,000yen~ kalau yg ada motor lebih 100,000yen..giller la harga basikal sampai rm4k..

tp bestnyaaa kalau dpt yg mcm ni ada motor..  malas kayuh, boleh auto-'kayuh'..hihih..yg dlm gmbr kat bawah ni, basikal nya kecik je..comel!!

 

 

tp buat masa ni, bersabar je laa dgn apa yg ada..manatau ada rezeki anak2 dpt basikal ni kat kedai 2nd hand dengan harga yg best..heheheh..atau ada sape2 yg nk sedekah/sponsor/bagi hadiah kat kami...amin!!

itu je nk cerita kali ni..kisah beli stroller & basikal utk anta abg rayyan pergi sekolah

 

sekian!



Rayyan masuk sekolah

~Rayyan is 5years 1month 1week old~

~Rifqi is 2years 4months old~

 

 

alhamdulillah, semalam 03.09.2012, rayyan dah masuk sekolah.mama & papa pon sibuk mcm kami yg masuk sekolah..banyak persiapan nk kena buat untuk kemasukan sekolah kat jepun ni.. kalau kat msia, bayar yuran, beli barang sekolah skit2(kalau krista dulu xyah beli apa pun,semua dah masuk dlm yuran) n pergi je la sekolah.. kat sini, banyak kerja remeh temeh nak kena buat. nk kena tulis nama kat every little things he owns... hatta seluar dalam pon kena tulis nama...nak isi borang macam2, insurans la,  akaun bank laa, hanko(chop nama) laa.. nak kena sediakan bekas bento(bekal makanan). yup, rayyan tiap2 hari bawa bekal pergi sekolah.that means, mak nya pon kena la buat bento pagi2 tiap2 hari... kalau encik suami, boleh jugak nk ngelat malas buat bento..tp kalau anak, xsampai hati.. xkan la dia dok sorang2 xmakan time sume org makan..tp bab bento ni, bisa diatur..semalam hari pertama bawa bento. mama masakkan rayyan nasi goreng ikan bilis..n mama saje letakkan 2biji tomato potong 2..saje buat hiasan sbb kompem rayyan xmakan..tp bila balik rumah, buka bekas bento dia...cair hati seorang ibu, licin habis bento dia..kat rumah punya la payah nk makan..kat sekolah sekali dengan tomato dia telan, terharu!! esok lusa xtau la kan... huhuhu

 

bento hari pertama,nasi goreng n grapes.. mini tomato satu biji setengah berjaya dimakan, begitu jugak sayur2 dlm nasi goreng...mcm biasa, makan anggur kena buang kulit..seb baik pandai buat sendiri :)

anyway, hari pertama ke sekolah(isnin 03.09.2012), kami berempat jalan kaki ke sekolah rayyan yg letaknya 1.5km dr rumah kami..on the way pergi, dlm 30min jugak jalan..dengan rifqi kejap2 berdukung.. kalau tunggu dia jalan, alamat xsampai2 la sekolah.. asek kyukei manjang..bila org xnak dukung, nangis tepi jalan buat drama..sabar je la si kenit ni..sekolah ni sekolah private n agak jauh sbnrnya..ada sekolah yg dekat(sekolah kerajaan) tp dah full..kena tunggu turn.. ntah bila turn nya nk dtg, kami masukkan rayyan ke sekolah higashihama kindergarden(東浜幼稚園）.sekolah ni sangat cantek dan bersih..ada playground luas, ada pool n byk tanaman sayuran n bunga2.. pengetua sekolah ni suka berkebun agaknya..dah 2hari ni anta rayyan, asek nmpk dia kat kebun sekolah..katanya, bila tanaman dah boleh dituai, depa akan buat masak2 dgn budak2 lps tu makan..bab makan ni mmg dah bitau awal2 la pantang larang semua n alhamdulillah derang paham sebab ada sorang lagi muslim..japanese muslim... good thing ada geng, xyah nk explain panjang lebar.

masa kitorang tinggalkan rayyan pagi 1st day tu,seperti yg dijangkakan, dia nangis! tp cikgu kelas rayyan ni siap dukung dia..pujuk2..penatnya jadi cikgu sekolah tadika kat sini..huhuhuh...seb baik tsuruoka sensei baik..rayyan nk la dengan dia..lps mama dah pergi, mama jengah2 nampak rayyan dah xnangis..ok je..tp sorang2 lagi..almaklumlah, blom boleh berkomunikasi lagi..bahasa jepun belum terrer lagi..hehehe

oleh kerana hari pertama penggal baru persekolahan, balik pkl 11:30am..mama malas nk balik rumah n dtg balik, so mama jalan2 dgn rifqi dekat2 situ..beli buku kat book off.pastu gi makan kat saizeriya..pkl 11:30am mama pergi amek rayyan..bila nampak mama, tersengih2 pulak dia..dah ok la tu agaknya.. balik tgh hari tu, mmg panas terik..rayyan pon dah xlarat nk jalan. rifqi mmg dah kena dukung all the way..mama pon dah nak pancit..tp gagahkan jugak diri nak sampai rumah.. esoknya kompem la kami xjalan kaki dah..hehehe..ngelat naik kereta..actually, peraturan sekolah xboleh hantar anak2 naik kereta, sbb xde tpt parking n hantar anak kat sekolah jepun bukan bukak pintu kereta anak jalan n babai..tp kena anta sampai depan pintu.. n utk awal2 ni, mama anta sampai ke tangan sensei..huhuhu...

suasana sebelum bersurai..beratur ikut kelas. pastu mak2(almost 100% mak2 yg dtg anta n jemput anak2) dtg ke anak2 masing dlm barisan, n cikgu kelas buat announcement sket

 

sampai je rumah, tiga2 pengsan(termasuklah mama nya heheh) penat betul jalan kaki hampir 3km dalam panas terik tgh hari pulak tu.. dugaan!



hari kedua(04.09.2012), kami naik kereta, park jauh sket dr sekolah(parking berbayar 30mins 100yen) lps tu jalan kaki gi sekolah...balik pon sama...kalau hari2 buat mcm ni, byr parking je dah berapa..heehehe..cpt2 la papa belikan basikal yg boleh naik 2kids tu..stroller pon kami dah order, tp xsampai lagi... selagi salah satu tu xde, mmg naik kereta la gamaknya...

aktiviti sekolah smlm ialah tangkap ikan.. nama ikan tu どじょう(dojou) atau englishnya loach..bahasa melayu xtau..mcm belut je..kolam + ikan mmg favourite dia laa..bila balik dr sekolah, banyak la cerita dia..seronok dengar.. bila tanya, ada belajar tulis x? dia kata xde..hahaha..sekolah kamu ni banyak main ye..sabtu ni ada matsuri pulak..macam sukaneka.. hmm..to go or not to go??

 

si kenit ni pon nak posing dgn fish..marah org tak amek gmbr dia hik3

 

 



harini rabu (05.09.2012) , ada aktiviti ukur berat n tinggi.. balik pkl 1pm... tinggi rayyan dah 104cm?? cepatnya tinggi! i know one day he's gonna beat my height so fast,oh boy! and before you know it, his voice starting to change into a mature tune(- _ -)

 

his lunch box today! lagi licin drpd semalam :))

mama pulak gabra esok nk buat bekal lauk apa??

 

balik sekolah minum air jus kegemaran, mix fruit juice..kat msia jgn harap nk minum jus, lagi2 la mix vegies n fruits.. bila tgk, kat sini lagi berselera derang makan.. alhamdulillah :)) suka hati mama!!

 

 

apapun, mama syukur rayyan dah masuk sekolah.dapat la dia belajar main something kat sekolah tu daripada duduk rumah hafal skrip upin ipin.hehehe..mama pon masih lagi menyesuaikan diri dgn rutin baru... baru terasa sibuknya jadi surirumah..lagi sibuk dr keje sbb 24/7... i think i'm starting to enjoy being a SAHM.. eventho it is not as easy as i thought!!  salute to all FTHW & SAHM!!
