#PrayForPantaiTimur

Allahuakbar. Allahuakbar. Allahuakbar

Banjir menyerang lagi. This time the whole stretch of pantai timur, mostly Kelantan were hit badly.Terengganu, Pahang are also affected. Johor, Perak, Perlis ada juga yang terkena tempiasnya

Kalini air yang membanjiri sangatla teruk, and its muddy flood. Hujan yang nonstop lagi 

memburukkan keadaan

At social media, there were a lot of pictures and messages been shared. From the victims, the relatives, rescue teams etc

but the most heart wrenching one, that involved kids. Sangat sedih tengok and dengar

They are hungry and helpless. Some area tuh were hit badly and air sangat dalam sampai rescue team nak masuk to help and distribute donation pun tak boleh. End up they were stranded there with no food, no dry clothing, no drinking water and other basic necessity

Sungguh Ya Allah, if aku di beri kesempatan untuk turut serta helping any of the rescue team to be either at kelantan/pahang/terengganu, i will be there. I WILL BE THERE

But i have my own family here that needs me especially my 5mo baby Sofia who are still breastfeeding. I'm not complaining nor anything, i was saying if i were given a chance at the right times, i am gonna volunteer myself. I wanna help them. maybe i can't donate much on cash/food/items but at least i can help to ease their burden and help them whatever necessary.

So sad seeing them with no place to stay, no proper food, some had lost their family members and even all their stuffs to this musibah. It is yet another ujian drpd Allah swt, we just  have to be redha and accept and move on from there. Bahu yang memikul mmg lagi berat dari mata yg memandang, truly understand that

Meantime, others shouldn't be judging others. I mean, if one didn't update or post anything on his/her FB/ any social media about this, it doesn't mean that they didn't care or aware. We are not in the position of judging others. Let just doa and pray that all the flood victims are safe and in good hands

I am also deeply sad that some kids have lost their parents to this. 

No one expected that. NO ONE. i bet everyone are trying their best to save their loved ones, even to the animals. Animals too deserved to be saved. Please have some mercy

 Every year from mid Oct- Jan we known its monsoon season here where mostly nearby beaches area have to be alert and take some precautions on the weather. Again, it is beyond our control. Allah yang mengetahui segalanya

From my 2cents (yelah kita belajar dr pengalamankan) since its monsoon every year, each houses/family needs to have the survival kit. Ensure dalam bag yang waterproof and floated one too, kena ada basic ameneties ie : towel, blanket (nipis pun OK), candle, mancis, small mineral botol, dry food (or can be top up on the day itself), one/two dry clothes etc. Stuffs can be added at later based on needs. At least bila terjadinya musibah, we can just grab this bag. 

Plus government pun play a big role. Dah tau monsoon ni memang every year ada (just based on teruk ke takla banjir tu), kena ada sistem mengatasi or a evacuate plan yang proper.

We can't  be ongoing to deal only when the issue arise. We need to learn from our past and make it better in future. Sistem pengumpulan bekalan and rescue team pun kena ada plan.

Well, i'm not gonna be a keyboard warriors or any ustazah FB yang nak tulis macam2

i just hope and doa that all of the flood victims tabah and kita as a one malaysian unite and help them whichever yang boleh!

Update about sofia at 5mo

helloooooooooo
before we ends the 2014, nak update sikit about Sofia
beside than she has grown up chubbyly (alhamdulillah) and beautifullyyyy
at 5mo this week, she has successfully on tummy. Yes, meniarap

before this she had practiced that tapi rasa coz of her heavy bum, she have that difficulty to turn
selalu je tak lepas, sian kekadang tengok. but now, herm..pantang laid her down zzuuppp dah turned
tapi tang tangan tak lepas, still need help hehe

amazingly (why most of my words here got so many 'ly'??)
she is the biggest so far, i mean sihat walafiat la. looking at her both legs made me scared jugak, i mean its like the thigh of KFC, geerraam rasa nak gigit
even anyone who'd met her would say the same thing. Anyhow, i'm just blessed that she is healthy. Tho she consumed 40% FM and the rest on BM, she still sihat

attending kakak HM performance

after all her mengamuk she dozeddd

oh by the way recently she had this habit of throwing her tantrums/mengamuk before she sleep
and like her sister, Sofia ni suka tahan mata. Mata dah ngantuk still terkebil2 tengok kartun/tv

her first swim with us was last Sunday at KK Club. Poor her, almost couldn't fit the pelampung (gosh, at this time i couldn't think of that word in english)..-____-

Its time for Year End Grad at krista

sekejap je setahun berlalu and HM already completed her JK class
haihs, flashback the beginning of her school part, almost 3 months with crying.
Parents kena keras hati if not tak jadi pi sekolah la
Once she settled down, all went smoothly. But of course there's an episode of ponteng skool

Some of the milestone she had now are :

• more talkative - of her surroundings, story teller, sing a song
• more confident on stage while performed
• has a good knowledge on certain : animals, spaceship, senses, basic of Agama/doa, 
• a very good describer on items/such : 
• started to learn her malay vocab by singing, reading book at school
• her weakness in school was writing. She has this lazy habit to write. All nak kena guide. not a good started on this 
• in class, teacher said that she was very helpful towards her friends if they need help

Overall, she is good in class. I noticed that she has improved. Well, what do you expect from a 4yo kid? Just be proud of whatever her achievements, its a bonus to us. She is also has become a good kakak to her Sofia tho sometimes she can be clingy.

So we went to her final concert at MPAJ hall. she is indeed a good performer (cough, like mommy. good in dancing heh)

singing tadpoles song

we came to support kakak HM

dancing a Happy song - Pharrel William

Insya-Allah, 2015 she'll be at Krista again at K1 class. 

Birth Story of Sofia #3 and that's it!

sigh, 3d2n seems longer when you're in hospital

after Dr. Roslan came and checked my stitches, which looks fine and ok, i can go home

FINALLY

been at the hospital with no shower for 3days beside than bit freshen up and brushing your teeth can be so annoying 

i need a full bath!!

Oh before that, on my 2nd day here, few visitors came

my PIL and my BIL came with his lil family over the weekend

it's good to see them so i can stretched 

other than that it's only me, husband and sofia

Sofia is like her sister HM, is easy to handle. I am proud and thankful to be blessed with both girls

no hassle. Sleep like a queen, cried for a milk and diaper change

And Sofia is a good sucker too. She knows how to latch with bit of my guidance

And this time, i am ready to nurse her right from we're out from the OT room

as others said the first colostrum out from your breast is the most expensive and important to your baby and here we go baby

we've made a good team this time!

And so after settling our bills etc, we are heading home

my journey this time is not an easy one but i'm trying my best. My aim is to breastfeed sofia as long as i could. When there's a demand, there's a supply. Gambatteh!

Note :
after a week, Sofia has a jaundice and bermula lah episode of us back and forth to the Klinik kesihatan and to hospital (admitted!) as she has a high level of jaundice. (blame us the parents for not been able to read the sign).  She has the longest time of recovery which almost a month after a urine test and blood test done (and results showed nothing to worried), i just kept on breastfeed her 24/7 and accept the facts from doctor that some baby will take some time to get their bladder matured and kicked off that yellow thingy

Alhamdulillah she has recovered and grow beautifully and chubbier everyday! 

HFMD - the symptoms and recovering process

What is hand, foot and mouth disease?

Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a mild illness caused by one of a group of coxsackie viruses. HFMD gets its name from the little sores that develop on the hands and feet, and in the mouth. It’s common in children under 10, although adults can get a milder form of the virus. 

How will I know if my baby has HFMD?

A baby or child with hand, foot, and mouth disease will clearly not feel well. The telltale signs of the virus are small, blister-like sores in the mouth, hands and feet. Your child may also:

• have a sore throat;
• have mild fever;
• generally look and feel unwell

from babycenter


so the sanitizing and clean up mode is ON

 And yes, HM has this mild fever 2 days prior when she starts complaining about her ulcers

The process started with :

• clean up all your bedsheets, pillows cover and blanket
• clean up all her toys, meal set, etc and even the room, spray with dettol. I did this 2x in a day
• i even mope the house with floor cleaner like once in 2days
• if there's other siblings/kids in the house, ensure they are not close and don't touch each other. don't share meal set/clothes etc
• as for her clothes, i do read at net that to even separate it. Means to wash it alone and use hot/warm water for it. Well, i do separated it from our normal clothes. I didn't use hot/warm water but before it goes to the machine, I rinsed all her clothes with hot water then goes into machine
• don't forget to continue feeding your baby/kids with her supplements/vitamins and good food so at least it will help to built up the immune to fight the disease. So i continued to fed HM with her vitamin C, scotts emulsion and plenty of liquids (as she's having ulcers, i tried to keep her hydrate as much possible to avoid being admitted!)

2 hand sanitizes and that aloclair for the ulcers. its for kids & adults

 on the 4th day HM recovered. But the spots are still there. According to doctor, it took at least 10days for it to fully recover. So no school for HM for almost 10days too. Oh she's the happiest

It's a bit hassle but i prefer to do the hardest/old school way rather than to get it spread to others. At least not to outsiders. Yes, we are stuck at home because of this and only went out for a quick dinner on the 8th day only. Please be responsible to the community

When HFMD strikes

HFMD- hand foot mouth disease

but sometimes i called it as HMFD, whatever that cross my mind la

i bet every parents wants their kids to be healthy always. Well, it can't. Knowing kids ni suka masukkan tangan dalam mulut lah, they also like to explore things 
And everytime i pray and doa that both my princesses are doing fine, healthy as ever

But i guess Allah nak uji kot
HM got HFMD. What?Why?How? don't asked me
the last thing i knew she's complaining that her mouth sakit. The first time i heard so i thought that she tergigit her lips/lidah when eating, so i told her " ok we'll put a 
"honey lipstick" later  "(which is my Buds honey lipbalm, she so loving it!)
then at 5-nish  in the morning, while me feeding Sofia, HM came to my room and said she want nenen
Thirsty i thought. OK Fine, i did one glass for her. Which later she complained again that her mouth sakit. I get curiousla of course

I checked her mouth. Lower lips, i can see one tiny ulcer. Then later on her tongue i can see big one. EH?
i checked her hands, there were red spots
i checked her both legs, red spots too
my instinct says, it's HFMD..i stunned.
then I chat with my SCFM sisterhood moms (yes, at 530am , these mothers are always awake at wee hours, as i have one staying at Liverpool, while some are feeding their babies too, and some woke up for their subuh prayers)
i posted these pictures below, and yes they confirmed too that it's HFMD

I is sad for HM. Poor my baby is sick with this contagious disease!!

So i start Google about it and take note on what should i do plus some tips from najua (she's been through this before with both AA)

Telling husband about this when he's half awake is so not cool.
he kept on saying  " OK..OK and OOOKKK" and back to sleep
rasa nak pang? YES

so i text-ed my boss saying that i'm on EL for maybe two days. Well, i have to look after my own daughter that needs my attention. i can't trust anyone else to do this , plus husband.
Yes, i am that fussy. Coz i tend to wanna know every single thing what others do/treat my sick daughter. Mom always know what she gotta do. So i'm gonna be the babysitter/the doctor and nurse for few days
