Bumblebee bottle RM21.90 each (Happy Baby booth)

Toy RM15

Mix2 RM40


Personal opinion : Not really big, but I went on Friday...so mmg xdelah bersesak2 ( thats why manage to grab baju2).plus the booth arrangement was good..since there is some space

Overall, I would suggest do some homework ( price so on) before you step to those baby expo. Another things be prepared with unexpected purchase ( be careful as u might end up buy unnecessary items..so spare extra money in case you have tendency to spend more). You can get baby items at discounted price plus free gifts, but you have to aware that there always a lot of people...sesak cam ikan sardin

Happy hunting!

Pregnant in style, nursing in style...and its 2 in 1!

When I found out that I was pregnant (afham), I was totally clueless when it comes to maternity wears. I always see pregnant woman in maxi, or typical pregnant dress.

Later, after searching thru net I found 2 in 1 maternity and nursing shirt! I just love the ideas because at least it can be wear not only for 9 months (the only things u might end up wearing it again and again). Until now I do not have maternity dress, perhaps because I prefer shirt to match with pants...lgpun ulang alik kerja naik public transport, mcm leceh pakai maxi, dress ni

But back to 2009 not much option that match my taste. So most of my maternity cum nursing wear bought from http://enjoybreastfeed.com/ (as I found they have shirt 2 in 1 design Japanese..kawaii for me!)

First pregnancy..my 2 in 1 shirts..leh refer entry ni

As time passed by, the shirts do have wear & tear signal (masuk mesin, asik dok ulang pakai..lama2 berbulu, dn koyak sikit)..so during confinement (alif), I started to shop online, and the good thing this time more option available...rambang mata...but I tried to limit, beli sikit2 (tapi sikit2 lama2 jd bnyk gak)

So today I share few website where u can find 2 in 1 maternity and nursing wear. On top of that, I always consider shirt can be 2 in 1 (because some of pic below not really fit for pregnant, but more on 2 in 1 pumping/ nursing and office wear). For time being bye bye poplook ( hajat hati nk jugak try 1 tp bila fikir balik keje kdg2 terus g mkn luar, lg senang susukan alif pakai nursing shirt.)

Oh ya to my suprise even tho I' m wearing either maternity and nursing wear or nursing and office wear, most likely it is not noticeable...some even kata cantikla baju, mana beli....bla2 then when I told the shirt is for bf also, thay stated to raise eyebrow...xcaya kot smbl nk carik mana nk selak2 untk susu/ pam..haha

I received a lot of compliments while wear this shirt. The shirt is mumdreams label (http://mumdreams.com.my/estore/), but bought it from http://mypermatahati.com/shop/

Still my favourite maternity and nursing wear online shop http://enjoybreastfeed.com/ . Yang kotak2 coklat tu husband kata cam baju Yuna..

Cantik tak? Ada opismate kate nmpk cam selesa betul shirt, the black one I wore during photoshoot. All bought from http://www.mammahouse.com/





Bought it during baby expo..all under autumnz label http://www.autumnz.com/

Last but not least all the way from Johor...http://milakids.com/. Yg xsyok blh tak pakai bj biru belang2 tu ada yg kata 'ko pregnant ke?' mebi sbb cutting loose sgt kot


(some design might no longer available at above online shop..but no worries they still have other nice options..kdg2 baju sama rega lain2, so ni kena tpuk dadala..tp klu dh kenan smpi xleh tdo, haruslah beli..hehe)


Eh sume gambar atas sume model cam tak aci plak kan..so letakla gmbr sdiri gak

sume ni nursing wear...

Amacam, betulkan mengandung pun boleh bergaya, menyusu pun boleh bergaya...dan boleh berjimat since 2 in 1

Later I will share other online shop that sell nice maternity and nursing wear...till then..

Conversation with 2 years old boy : Kesian...

2 years old toddler yg high demand...ibu nk lagi..(nasib lom reti sebut Froyo)

This happened recently (but around past a month ago jugakla)

In our car

1. Alif was busy with everything..his hand just so busy to hit anything esp dashboard area
Afham : Adik..janganlah..kesian car ayah..

2. Another day, Alif just busy (ke geram)..sibuk tarik baju Afham
Afham : Adik...janganlah..kesian Afham


At home

1. Husband just busy helping me with printer.Suddenly Afham came close to us

Afham : Ayah, ibu...kesian Afham (sambil tunjuk tangan dia penuh diconteng)

Nak tahu ape dia buat..before that he asked me for a pencil, but since I couldn't find one I just gave him a pen...lepas tu dia pandai2 sdiri guna pen tu conteng tangan dia..ok..dia sendiri conteng lps tu tu suh kitaorg kesian..


2. Sambil2 baring peluk

Me : Ibu x mo kawan ngan Afham. Afham selalu naughty
Afham : Ala janganlah..kesian Afham


3. Husband got angry with Afham..so ape lagi, amik bulu ayam nk bg gertak Afham

Me : Aduh sakit (ntah camne bulu ayam tu mmg betul2 kena kat kita. dah masa tu mmg duduk dkt Afham)
Afham : Ayah, janganlah..kesian ibu

Siap dtg dekat2 nk tgk kaki yg kena bulu ayam tu..pdhal sblm tu dh takut2 kena marah ngan husband


See..Afham score 5 stars, mmg dh terror guna word "kesian". Nasib masa makan Froyo dia sibuk nk lg, tapi xdpt xde plak dia kata "kesian afham" klu tak mau ibu xde dh nk g tutti fruity

Wordless Wednesday #6 - Wishlist...

Shopping raya : Phase one done!

Eh org blm posa dh citer baju raya :p

Anyway last 2 weeks manage to settle our raya shopping for phase one

Total disaster : around RM 250, dapat 2 jeans, 5 helai baju...ok baju2 kasual Afham dan Alif je...(bakal2 mak sila pengsan jeans cinonet rm80...but if u dun mind to get last season...then u can slash 50%..ok i dun mind sbbnya xkisah pun x up to date, janji pakai baju


On top of that I got my very first purple sandle..Thanks husband..itu pun dia tnya btl xnk scholl..haha

Also, I also ordered kueh raya from http://ilotskitchen.blogspot.com/. (leh tgk sini http://ilotsalove.blogspot.com/2012/07/kueh-raya-ilots-2012.html. xpernah rasa sample kueh tapi rasa2 ok la kot sbb dh penah beli RV and birthday cake...tapikan xleh decide nk berapa bekas dan kuih ape..g msg ilot kata nk 6-8 bekas (erm sbb hajat hati sikit bw balik kg, sikit bg g opis, sikit lg buh kat umah la)

Paling best masa nk shopping ni kan, blh tak Afham nmpk boxer chunggiton..dan dia nk..siap pegang xlepas tu! pstu dh susah nk try pakaikan baju...so kena umpan2 sikit (part try baju xsusah...pestu balik rumah tgh2 malam nk pakai baju raya tu...siap buat alasan "baju basah" :P mana tah belajar siap bg alasan..so layan ajelah) Eh lupa sblm2 tu ada gak soping beli kasut raya anak2..tu pun balik rumah sibuk dok melaram kasut raya...xnak bukak..Adoi, taun depan siap2 la simpan..klu tak ada 2 budak kecik asik dok melaram baju raya (tu baby boys!)

Shopping part 2, xtau bile..tp just untk baju tradisional...ingat nk tempah..tpkan xreti nk agak kain brapa meter tuk anak2, pstu kira plak cm mahal plak beli kain baju melayu + tempah..lg ok beli siap..tggulah anak2 dh besar baru tempah kot...erm kaler tema taun ni kita tggu smpi dh decide nk beli (sah2 xtau lh..kejap kata nk ijau..kang smpi kedai nmpk kaler lain kenan kaler lain plak)

Korg cmne? dh soping tuk raya gak ke?

Conversation with 2 years old boy

This happened few months ago..but only now manage to post it

H- Husband, A- Afham

H : Afham, nak makan nasi goreng tak?
A : Tak nak
H : Kita makan mee goreng nak?
A : Tak nak
H : Abes, Afham nk makan pe?
A : Nasi lemak ayam

H : Ibu gedik kan Afham?
A : A’a..
H : Ibu gedik, ibu gedik
A : Ibu dik, ibu dik..
H : Afham..sape gedik?
A : Ayah…

H : Ibu la ni, psl makan dlm kereta lipas dtg
A : (listening)
H : Ibu sebabkan lipas dtg dlm car
A : (follow words tp bunyi xberapa paham)
H : Sape yg sebabkan lipas dtg?
A : Ayah..


Hahaha…lawakla Afham ni..sometimes xperasan yg actually dia copy-cat words/action..ada sekali tu dia dtg dekat2 Alif smbil kata “ala..shomel, shomel, shomel…” (rupanya dia pernah kot tgk myself cium2 Alif smbl cakap..ala..comel, comel, comel)

Oh ye skrg dh advance sikit..xde dah asik jawab nasi lemak ayam, dh ada jawapan nasi grg ke...dh tau nk ayam..hehe
