New Office

Yesterday I was on MC. I had a complete package of fever, flu, cough and sore throat. The fever and sore throat are gone, but the flu and cough still loves me a lot.

Yesterday was suppose my 1st day at new office but since I was on MC, thus today become the 1st day instead. We have moved in last Friday. We are now at JayaOne, Sec.13 PJ, no longer at Damansara Heights. What I can say about this new office... it is not fully setup yet. It's dusty, noise, and smelly. The smell of newly painted walls. Got some contractors setting and drilling the security door. There is an aircond which sounds sooooooo loud. My God, it's really irritating my ears! The aircond is actually an old one brought from the old office.

Essential Flat-Belly Foods

Aku baca artikel ni kat Yahoo! Soalan pertama dia sentap tuu... "It's summertime—are you in swimsuit shape?"

Sejak akhir2 ni seleraku bertambah2. Masa dlm pantang aritu, aku dah back to shape spt sblm pregnant tapi sejak masuk kerja, byk pula mkn. Mungkin sebab senang pergi beli kat kedai kot.

Artikel ni meyarankan beberapa makanan yg baik utk diet. Dalam artikel tu kata "The more of these bulge-battlers you eat, the better your chances of keeping those abs flat throughout this skin-baring season."

Hmm... betul ke? Nak kena try ni. Actually ada banyak jenis mknn yg disaran, cuma aku pilih beberapa yg mudah diperolehi je la. Mcm avocado tu takyah try la, nak cari/beli pun susah.

(1) GRAPEFRUIT
Per grapefruit: 104 calories, 4 g fiber, 2 g protein
~ A grapefruit a day in addition to your regular meals can speed weight loss. The fruit's acidity slows digestion, meaning it takes longer to move through your system, and you'll end up feeling fuller, and more satisfied, for longer. And the vitamin C-packed grapefruit works to lower cholesterol and decrease risk of stroke, heart disease, and cancer.
* Aku pernah try yg ni, mmg bagus. Berat turun, body fat pun turun. Selalunya aku gantikan dgn oren Sunkist tu.

(2) EGGS
Per 1 scrambled egg: 102 calories, 7 g fat (2 g saturated), 7 g protein
~ A British study found that people who increased the percentage of protein-based calories in their diet burned 71 more calories a day (that's 7.4 pounds a year!). Jumpstart your metabolism as soon as you wake up with a protein-rich breakfast of scrambled eggs.
* Yang ni pun aku pernah try. Protein telur memang bagus, selalunya aku rebus je telur tu.

(3) YOGURT DRINK
Per cup: 174 calories, 2 g fat, 14 g protein, 3 g fiber
~ This delicious dairy product is a belly-blasting essential. Beyond the satiety-inducing protein, the probiotics in it may also speed weight loss. British scientists found that these active organisms boosted the breakdown of fat molecules in mice, preventing the rodents from gaining weight. The researchers still need to prove the finding in humans, but there's no danger in downing probiotic-packed products.
* Untuk diet, biasanya aku makan low fat PLAIN yogurt.

(4) QUINOA (Grain Cereal)
Per ¼ cup: 170 calories, 2.5 g fat, 7 g protein, 3 g fiber
~ Penn State researchers found that dieters who ate whole-grains lost twice as much belly fat as those who stuck to white-flour products—even though they'd consumed the same number of calories. What's more, quinoa contains twice the belly-filling protein as regular cereal grains, fewer glucose-raising carbohydrates, and even a handful of healthy fats. So start your day off with a cup of cooked quinoa combined with a ½ cup of milk and ½ cup of blueberries—microwave for 60 seconds, and you have a delicious (and slimming) alternative to your traditional oatmeal.
* Ada kat rumah tu, kalau ade MOOD nak mkn, baru aku mkn... sebab bentuk dia macam mknn rabbit tu... rasa dia macam hampas skit!

Hari2 aku makan sarapan nasi lemak. Maka, makin byk la lemak yg terkumpul. Nampaknya, semuanya perlu dipraktiskan semula.

Breastfeeding

Seorang teman baikku ada memberikan beberapa tips untuk membanyakkan susu badan. Aku kagum dengan kesungguhannya memberikan 'exclusive breastfeed' kepada anak sulongnya. Aku terfikir juga, mampukah aku? Anakku yg pertama telah mengenali susu formula terlebih dahulu sebelum susu ibu disebabkan aku tak mampu bangun pada hari pertama selepas kelahirannya secara cesar. Alhamdulillah, anak yg kedua kuperkenalkan alam pemakanannya dengan susu ibu. Kedua-dua anakku telah melalui 'upacara tahnik' terlebih dahulu. Ayahnya telah menyuapkan kurma dan air zamzam selepas azan dan iqamah.

Sejak lahir, Aleesya agak kuat menyusu. Pernah beberapa kali akibat sudah penat dan kekeringan, aku memberikan Aleesya susu formula. Aku bancuh 3oz, dan Aleesya hisap tanpa henti2 sehingga ke titisan yg terakhir dan terus tertidur. Kurang sejam kemudian dia terjaga dan lapar kembali.

Hari pertama aku bekerja, tiada bekalan susu ibu langsung untuknya. Kak Ina (babysitter) mengakui yang Aleesya kerap menyusu. Di tempat kerja aku akan mengepam setiap 2 jam, hasilnya dalam 16-18oz sehari (5-6 botol). Itupun agak jenuh juga hingga betul2 kering. Aku store 3oz setiap botol utk minggu pertama. Kak Ina mengatakan stok yg aku berikan itu tidak mencukupi kerana selepas itu dia perlu menambah lagi susu sebanyak 2-3oz, barulah Aleesya betul2 kenyang.

Sejak dari itu ku paksa diriku supaya mampu mengeluarkan 5oz/pam. Kubanyakkan makan makanan yg seimbang, minum banyak-banyak dan sangat banyak air, buat air longan kering dan sebagainya. Alhamdulillah berkesan!

Tapi aku ada PENEMUAN BARU. Aku dapati, kalau makan durian, susu akan bertambah2. Esoknya, boleh dapat sampai 7oz/pam.

Sekarang aku pam setiap 2.5-3 jam, store 5oz/botol dan bawa pulang dalam 20-25oz sehari. Kalau tak cukup, kak Ina akan tambah dengan susu formula yang memang kutinggalkan sebagai bekalan tambahan.

Pada sebelah malam dan hujung minggu, memang kuberikan breastfeeding secara eksklusif.

Hasilnya, seorang baby berusia 2.5 bulan yang bulat dan hantap, berat terkini adalah 7.0kg. Itulah Aleesya Sumaira yang ingin cepat membesar sebesar kakaknya... big baby Adrianna Sofea yg berusia 2 tahun 7 bulan.

Bayangkan keempat-empat beranak ni tidur sekatil *(^_^)* sebab si adik nak menyusu dengan ibu, yg si kakak pula nak tidur dekat dengan ayah dan ibu... Kena beli katil emperor size daa... King size dah tak muat!!!

1 year Adrianna

Ini gambar kenangan semasa menyambut birthday Adrianna yg pertama. Posing dgn hadiah2 yg diperolehi dari kawan2 dan jiran2. Masa ni Adrianna belum pandai berdiri dgn sendiri. Adrianna mula pandai berjalan semasa usianya 1 tahun 3 bulan. Hari tu Adrianna tak berapa sihat, kena cirit-birit. Jadi, dia agak moody pada hari tu.

Bila selak balik gmbr2 lama ni, seronok pulak.

Adrianna senyum

   
Hmm... macam ni la kalau nak tangkap gmbr Adrianna, camera shy girl ni. Kita suruh dia senyum, jadilah macam dlm gmbr yg 1st tu. Automatik, mulut tertutup rapat dan kepala tegak tak bergerak. Mata melilau2 tapi kepala maintain tegak. Itu pasal last nya kita minta dia tunjukkan gigi. Nampaklah ala-ala senyum. Atau pun kita minta dia telengkan kepala. So, nampaklah macam gaya 'posing-posing' sikit.

Adik Aleesya

Aleesya Sumaira dah 2.5 bulan. Tak sabar nak tengok Aleesya membesar. Nanti bila Aleesya dah pandai jalan, bolehla jalan2 dgn Adrianna, berpegangan tangan sama2 & main di playground sama2. Bila kawan2 tanya pasal Aleesya ikut muka siapa, tak tau nak jawab. Kwn2 kami ckp muka Aleesya macam muka ayahnya. Mengikut kata mak aku, Aleesya macam masa aku baby dulu. Yg pasti tang rambut tu, cacak2 macam aku. Orang kata Adrianna iras ayahnya. Mak aku kata, Adrianna macam muka aku semasa kecil. Hmm... jadi tak tau la nak kata ikut siapa. Dulu masa study, ramai kwn2 aku cakap yg muka aku & wan sama sampaikan ada satu hari tu, housemate aku ingat aku keluar dgn abg... walhal dgn boypren, hehe...

Makan-makan


Lepas balik kerja dan ambil anak2, kami dinner kat Rasamas, Giant Kota Damansara. Ayah yg teringin. Kite ok je. Adrianna suka kemain dapat belon. Spt biasa, tunjukkan gigi bila bergambar. Yang sorang lagi mengepak2 dalam stroller. Kesian adik Aleesya tengok kami makan. Aleesya tak pandai makan lagi. Ada seorang budak yg chubby tu nak main playground... Dia suka cakap "Nak pergi Giant"... sebabnya nak pergi playground yg besar tu la. Sambil kakak main kat playground, adik pun menungguuu di dalam stroller dgn sabar dan setia. Agaknya dalam hati adik... "Saya pun nak main sama laaa!!!".

Installing a husband

Got this from a good friend of mine, farahsalha who just get married last month... I think it's funny!!!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend5.0 to Husband1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance - particularly the flower and jewelery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend5.0.

In addition, Husband1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs such as Romance9.5 and PersonalAttention6.5, then installed programs such as Football5.0, Snooker3.0 and Golf4.1.

Conversation8.0 no longer runs and HouseCleaning2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
- Desperate -

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Dear Desperate,

First keep in mind, Boyfriend5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband1.0 is an operating system. Please enter the command "I Thought You Loved Me.exe" and try to download Tears6.2 and don't forget to install the Guilt3.0 update.

If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelery2.0 and Flowers3.5. But remember, overuse of these application can cause Husband1.0 to default to GrumpySilence2.5, HappyHour7.0 or Beer6.1. Beer6.1 is a very bad program that will download the SnoringLoudlyBeta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-In-Law1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources).

Also do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Food3.0 and HotLingerie7.7.

Good Luck,
-Tech Support-

Aleesya's development

Aleesya sama seperti bayi2 berusia 9 minggu yg lain yg sudah pandai diagah, memberi respons dgn senyum, gelak dan ketawa... dan mengepak2 minta diangkat. Kepala/lehernya sudah semakin keras dan dia juga suka didukung. Badannya juga semakin hantap. Berat Aleesya yg kami timbang kelmarin sudah mencecah 6.6kg. Aleesya nak lawan kak Adrianna yg dah 20kg beratnya. Yang penting, Alhamdulillah kedua2 pertama hati kami sihat walafiat.

Aleesya's faces

* * * Introducing... Our 2-month chubby little baby Aleesya Sumaira * * *


Dining

Dah lama tak makan pizza sejak isu boycott panas dulu. Skrg ni dah terlupa pulak bab2 boycott ni. Masa dalam pantang, semua nampak sedapppp sangat. Tengok iklan Pizza Hut kat tv, terliur2 saya!

So, aritu kitorg pergi makan pizza. Adrianna pun suka. At least, 1 solid slice tu mesti habis. Kadang2 two slices dia makan. Tambah spaghetti lagi... Kira senang hatilah tengok dia makan banyak, sbb Adrianna ni sebenarnya susah juga nak makan. Ditambah dengan keadaan restoran tu yang selesa, berhawa dingin dan bersih, baru mood makan dia bersemarak.

Aleesya pun suka keluar jalan2. Rasanyalah... sebab kalau time keluar pergi supermarket atau shopping mall ke, dia takkan tidur. Mata dia akan melilau2 pandang sana sini. Tapi masa kitorg makan pizza ni, Aleesya tidur. Bagi chance la kat ibu nak makan kann...

Kalau aku sibuk dengan Aleesya, cik abg Wan la yang akan melayan karenah Adrianna. Tolong mandikan, tolong basuh bera*, tolong pakaikan baju, tolong buat susu... "Time kasih ayah sebab tolong ibu..."

Adrianna ni kalau kita suruh senyum, dia tak pandai nak senyum. So, kitorg suruh dia tunjukkan gigi dia. Jadilah macam dalam gambar tu!

Aleesya Serius


Muka serius versi Aleesya Sumaira. "Bila ibu nak bagi susu ni???... huaaa... Saya dah laparrr". Aleesya pakai baju hawaii kak Adrianna.

Kak Adrianna

Adrianna Sofea dah jadi kakak sekarang. Sejak adik Aleesya keluar dari perut ibu, macam2 ragam kakak. Makin banyak akal! Mulutnya macam bertih jagung. Ada je soalan2 yg diajukan dan suka menyanyi. Dari lagu poprock, lagu2 melayu lama, lagu AlifBaTa, lagu2 dangdut (tok ajis la ni...), lagu kanak2 & lagu patriotik. Dia suka sgt lagu Tanya Sama Pokok & Laskar Pelangi. Kalau dengar Adrianna menyanyi lagu2 cinta, memang kelakar habis... Bayangkan dia nyanyi lagu Sampai Syurga (Faizal Tahir) dgn lentok2 kepalanya. Aku & Wan pasti akan saling berpandangan dan gelak senyap2... sbb kalau Adrianna dengar, nanti dia malu dan akan berhenti menyanyi. So, biarkan je la dia layannn sorang2...
Gmbr 30/05/2009: Adrianna baru bangun tidur.

Baju warisan

Ini adalah skirt pemberian kakakku Kak Ija semasa Adrianna dilahirkan. Skirt ini pada asalnya dibeli untuk anak sulungnya Siti Aishah (13) yg kemudiannya diturunkan pula kepada anak perempuannya yg ke-3, Asyikin (9). Dulu Adrianna yg pakai, skrg ni Aleesya la pulak. Kalau mengikut saiz skirt, ia utk baby berusia 3-6 mths. Tapi cik Aleesya ni pakai ngam2 aje. Gmbr diambil pada 22/05/2009, usia Aleesya 53 hari.

Back to work

I'm back. My pc missed me a lot until the hard disk crashed. Kesian. Habis data2ku!!! I received a brand new + empty hard drive. Need to install all software, email, and get source codes of previous projects. Lucky I've backed it up in SVN. Macam staff baru la pulak.
