Rezeki yg terlepas?

For past few months, some changes in my department...its likely everyone wants to have new job, new environment..

So major changes happen...I reported to senior accountant..and never though she left us (ok2 past track I left the boss...)

Then when she left..few person asked me whether I will be promoted to accountant (Heh..I dunno its rumours watnot....). But as far as I know, nobody told me anything..so I just said no news, and just continue with current job

At first heard that no replacement for that position.. But later past few weeks one of collegue email two of us (me and my jiran) that company already advertised in fofular job website for accountant position.. Hmm..this collegue asked me to apply *no matter get it or not*, but I dont really in mood updating my CV..besides we also think maybe they want external candidate *klu nk org dlm buatpa la gi iklan kat internet kan? baik la canang2 kat kami ni*

Just last week new FM asked me.."tau kan ada position accountant, xnak apply ke?..rasa mcm lg senang amik internal candidate"

We have some talk..I dunno whether I gave silly answer or not...but indirectly I rejected to apply although seems that it will be highly chances for me to get the position *ok2 my ambition is to become accountant since 15 years old..then if I get it means I fulfill my dream to become accountant before twenty nine plus one*

My reasons for not applying
- My due date will be end of June, so I have about less than three months to pick up the new responsibility, at the same time need to transfer knowledge current position, plus before going maternity sure I need to transfer knowlegde new position...(heh banyak beno benda)
- Then 3 months maternity will surely give me peace of mind from work..but later once coming back surelah need to pick up back (udahle br belajar lps tu cuti 3 bulan haruslah lagi terkedek2..hari tu pun take few weeks pick up balik kerja yang dh setahun lebih buat)
- I dont want my stress level will be jump and rocketing..erk afraid later go for early maternity due to stress
- I dont want to become greedy (altho not sure how much increase in paycheck..)
- I am not ready to come back during weekend, last time sr accountant always come back on saturday during closing (but weekdays she dont stayback..)

Hm..now I just rethink whether I am silly or I should say the thing comes at wrong timing..maka rezeki itu adalah yg terlepas? No idea..

Just hope that I will get better offer in near future esp after our 2nd baby arrive!

(I think I rethink again and again because I just met one of classmate during ACCA, he is currrently Assitant Vice President *altho he said he still macai..kena jugak buat kerja but the title is something..*, itu tak citer ada yg dh jadik FM *still long way for me kot?*..yes by comparing to me mcm langit ngan bumi..I admit my career progression slow..

Mahalnya...

When we visited Klinik Kanak-Kanak xyz recently for Afham's last jab of pneumococcal, we notice there is one new toy over there

So while waiting, we let him play around..and he was soo interested with this new toy

Then encik suami asked me whether we can find it at any toy shop...I noticed the activity center have a brand one of formula milk company (activity center tu attached ngan meja sekali)

So I started ups and downs looking for it..I know it will be a little bit pricey (since looking at ikea bead roller coaster cost RM49...inikan plak activity center with so many combination toys)

When it comes to toys, usually I buy something that reasonable price and even tho encik suami said "mcm bnyk je mainan afham" I always think it not much..thehehe till he saw at TV there's one mummy showed her daughter toys..baru tahu mainan anak org lain lagi bnyk. Then sometimes at mall encik suami will said "mahalnya mainan ni.." , then I will answer "tgkler cap ape..cap ikan mahal....cap ayam je murah (ok xde cap ayam just sebut aje)"

So my searching end up to amazon.com. Yes it is exactly same like we see at the clinic..

Then, I still not satisfied, so just email someone that usually help with buying things from US, and received this from her

I also compared to vshub.com and few site...and the reason it is soo expensive because the toy itself weight almost 7kg

I talked to encik suami, then he said "boleh beli katil afham.."

So seem that we have forget the idea of getting that (Unless ada readers yg ada kwn nak cuti2 obersea/ balik Msia dan sangguh tolong beli dan angkut mainan 7kg ni....erkada ke?)

Or maybe just buy something look-alike (but still not similar) at ToyRUs...(saw at preloved toys blog..most of activity center sold out...)

Baby food : Introducing protein

I should post this few months ago..Unfortunately ehem ehem you knowla all the laziness hormone come and go. Nowadays Afham dah makan nasi join kami makan..

When it comes to protein, I do not introduce it as early as 6 months, since from reading it is recommended to introduce beef and other meats and proteins between 8 – 10 months

So here I share two simple recipes that are protein based

Japanese Silk Tofu with Pureed Dates
(or we can called it Taufu Fah - versi baby)
Source : Mammamiya

Bahan-bahan
Japanese silk tofu (block or cilinder)
10 bijik kurma
1/2 cup hot water

Cara-caranye:
1. rendam kurma dlm air panas for 5mins
2. Pureekan kurma dgn air rendaman dlm blender
3. Tuang kurma puree tu dlm individual tubs dlm 1/3 of the bekas
4. Lay cut tofu on top of the puree
5. Close tub & simpan dlm fridge

*it is best to simpan dlm fridge and not freezer coz dlm freezer tofu tu akan pecah air.
*this dish can last for 3-4days at normal fridge temperature & over 2 weeks dlm freezer.
*to serve-masuk dlm microwave for 40sec-1min


Since we do not have microwave or food warmer, I steam the tofu for a while. Then scoop it int0 bekas kecil2 yg dh ada puree kurma (belasah pakai sudu mcm ala2 org jual taufoo fah tu bolehla kan..nk potong2 dh leceh). I made 4 bekas..1 immediately makan, 3 lagi untuk the next 3 days makan, which panaskan cara konvensional..mcm thaw ebm

One more thing make sure it is not egg tofu..bkn pe takut anak anda allergic kat telur (Always remember we can only introduce egg yolks to baby around 8 months. Egg white only can be fed after he reached 1 year old-source here)

Sup ayam / daging
3 biji bunga cengkih
1-2 biji bunga lawang
Kulit kayu manis
1 ulas bawang putih
1 ulas bawang merah
1 inci halia
Ayam / daging (biasanya saya potong kecil..tp tidaklah halus2 since kemudian blend)
Air
Sedikit minyak

Bahan2 dia atas ikut anggaran masing2, ayam tu agakla seketul dada atau lebih..agak2 secukup stok yg anda ingin sediakan)

Cara- cara
1. Bawang putih, merah dan halia ditumbuk (kalau anda nak blend halus sup ni, boleh jugak racik 3 bahan ini)
2. Tumis bahan rempah sampai naik bau
3. Tumis bahan no 1 hingga naik bau
4. Masukkan ayam / daging. Fry until all the water dried (some said boleh hilangkan hanyir...)
5. Masukkan air dan biarkan mendidih
6. Kalau nak masukkan sayur eg potato, celery, carrot pun boleh
7. Angkat, sejukkan, blend..Sblm blend make sure you remove la kulit kayu manis, bunga lawang, cengkih tu (I have a habit conting brapa bnyk bunga cengkih so on sblm tumis..then masa remove pun kira cukup ke tak)

I always use olive for oil. Ikut masing2la nak guna minyak sawit, minyak jagung ke...

Source of protein that can be added to porridge
1. Scramble egg yolk – I consider as super easy source of protein
2. Fish – soup / fry/ steam..I tried once soup but it turns fishy...so usually I fry fish with olive oil..then pakai garfu siat jadik kecik..masuk dlm bubur
3. Beef / Chicken – usually I made soup...like above recipe
4. Tofu – usually I add masa bubur dah nak masak..another easy step (malas)

This was how I prepare 2 weeks (14 days) stock
4 tube of beef soup
5 tube of chicken soup
Remaining 5 days – tofu and scramble egg yolk
4 type of vege – peas, cauliflower, corn, carrot

Beef soup

Chicken soup

Vege

So for 2 weeks we can mix and match for example (that is the reason why the my soup do not include vege)
Porridge + Beef soup + Carrot
Porridge + Chicken soup +Cauliflower
Porridge + Scramble egg yolk + Peas
Porridge + Chicken + Corn + Carrot

The above is just example..you always can plan and don't be afraid to mix and match. We don'thave to become chef to cook our little one food!

Selingan..kunci pun sodap :p

Jgn lupa vote saya ye..cara2nya di sini

Macam mana nak jadi rajin?

Ini bukan nak bagi tips..nak nak dapatkan tips..

 

I have problem..

Pertama – berkaitan dapur

ok bab masak2..bolehla still masak jugak lauk simple2 or nasi goreng. Bekal Afham pun pagi2 pun Alhamdulillah masak jugak. Bab lap2 dapur oklah walau kdg fail jugak nk lap hari2...bab basuh pinggan mangkuk ok lagik, tiap2 pagi smbil masak bekal Afham, basuhla segala yg tersadai kat sinki (ada jugak fail kdg dh seharian pinggan2 tu)..yg fail bab nak kemas sume peralatan yg dh kering ke dalam cabinet (skrg tersadai atas satu meja bertindan2 periuk kuali sudu sudip so on)

 

Kedua – laundry

Basuh baju seminggu sekali..itupun mesin tolong, baju Afham hanya spin di mesin..selebihnya saya biasanya basuh tangan (idakle tertonggeng berus), tapi klu yg kotor teruk2 tu sental2 la guna tangan..selebihnya rendam dlm Nappi Kleen then biasa lepas sejam bilas dan spin. Bab sidai ok. Bab angkat ok (walau kdg baju tu tersadai lama kat luar rumah). Bab lipat oklah jugak (kdg encik suami tolong)...Yg fail bab nak masukkan baju dlm cabinet (see again masalah cabinet kan?). End up ada satu bilik tersadai semua baju2 dh lipat (tapi tu pun xproper campur semua baju..bila nk pakai kirai2 lah jugak, which end up ada gak berterabur)

 

Ketiga – kemas rumah

Ok totally fail..hanya kemas bila ada masa terluang dan agak2 rajin (tp most likely rumah ku tongkang)

 

So macam mana nak rajin? Haruskah salahkan hormone pregnant? Kdg teringin nak kemas sikit2 time Afham tido, tapikan end up sama2 tido...teringin gak nk kemas while dia tgh main2 tapikan kadang pergi dapur sekejap tuk masuk pun dia dh start bunyi2, end up kenalah duduk dekat dia (pdhal xbuat ape..gi layan tv)

 

Bknle nk perfect rumah tu super kemas, Cuma kalau boleh nakle sedap mata memandang

 

Ibu2 yg membaca entri ni ada tips? Share lah ye..

 

Ingat nk try part time maid tpkan sungguhla segan nk suruh diorg dtg dgn keadaan rumah bersepah..hmm ini baru satu anak, soon agaknya mcm mana plak? Huhu
