I've Got To Have This!

Babiiiies......! How are you dooolls.....!?!

There's a big furniture chain store just open in the area. I just got back from there, did a little searching and screening...And when my eyes got to this beautiful vintage-look trunk, I just can't take my eyes and mind off of it. I just got to have it!!!

Also spotted other cute stuffs there ;D

I like the prints on these storage boxes

Aisya : "I love this one so very much, Mom. Let's buy it!"

Me : "Gosh, it's $1,957/set...." 

She just can't wait to jump in...

This Week Mommy Was...

1) Bought some new yarns and a hookpen -it's because the shop only sell local yarns which are smaller size from my KLUTZ's yarn so I need a matching size hookpen- for my on-going crochet project. Hopefully I can nail it neatly...*fingercross*

2) Attending Aisya's school event. She was take part in Fashion Show for Kartini's Day -a heroic lady from Indonesia who fought for Indonesian women's right- and wore a traditional clothes from Palembang (West Sumatra). And throughout the event, I realized that my little miss Aisya has her own circle now- as she always with her friends most of the event. I was kinda carried away to know it (Y_Y).

3) This week little Monsieur Agasha befriended with milk bottle. Yes he did, sadly though, but after several attempts and the wounds always re-opened -and my baby is still in his early growth and development- I decided to mix with Formulas. It is hard for me, but I'm pleased that I had breastfeed him for 10,5 months continuously without a pause....and we still have that bonding :*

Aside the highlights of the week I mention above, the rest are just Parenting routines and Household routines. Well, how's with your week, Angels? ;)

I Got "Hook"ed UP

Hai, Beibs.....

It's been a so-so day, until I received something that I've been waiting for almost a month! I got my UP Shoes! Yup, these adorable pair of pink was finally arrived today... jumping-yeay for that! It's so beautiful, it meets my expectation, and fits my feet perrrrfectly! So I thank you thank you so much to Diana and UP Shoes team for delivering me this wonderful pair...*lots of kisses 

PS : I highly recommend you to check out UP's other collections Here 

Also....because Crochet-ing has -undoubtedly- been 'Hook'ed me (tooowtally ;D) so much, now I'm on my second project : crochet a Beanie. A bit confusing at first, specially with the counting, but after watched an extra tutorial from youtube now I can follow through...fingers-cross, Angel ;)

My first Crochet

 Hai Dolls....!!!

Finally, Mommy finished the purse! Even though it's less asymmetrical, but considering this is my first crochet...I'm Happy with it (^^,)! So excited to work on another projects! Oh, I was searching for extra mentor to help me of crocheting, and I really thankful to the creator of Youtube, I found soooo many crocheting tutorials that help me a lot, I even subscribed two of my favourites ;)!

Okay then, this is it...Mommy's premiere work of Crochet....hehehehe ;p

Alicia already claims it's hers :)

Two Times Rookie

Hellooow there, Beibeh!

There was so much excitements today! To make it quick, let me just list them all :

1) Firstly, I was attending this sharing session. It was my first attendance, and was excited to met new people...so, hopes I could come again next week :)

2) My package came this afternoon. I ordered it yesterday and it had arrived today since I gave them a note that I need it URGENT....so thank you so much asibayi.com :)

3) Last but not least, after I write about Retro Mummy I had a moment of reflection, and said to myself : "Lets try to stop the excuses and start to explore (again) my passion....with baby step!"
So here I am having so much fun doing CROCHET! Hehehehe......baby steps, guys, ok!?! If only Corrie knows how she inspired me...Thank you a zillion times, Corrie :*

Not bad for a rookie, don't you think? ;p

I Stop Breastfeeding....

....and must go on with pumping.

I know, guys...It is an upsetting change for me and specially for darling Agasha, moreover he tends to breastfeed whenever he feels sleepy. And it crushed me to see him cried angrily this afternoon, like my baby is questioning "Mommy, what's going on? Why am I not allowed to feed?", oh I felt like I wanted to burst in tears (ToT).

Maybe because of my feeding position was not correctly or maybe because of Agasha is starting to have his first teeth, all of that can caused these gaping wounds on my nipples. I'd been through this moments of wounds when I was breastfeed Alicia, it was painful, no doubt. But this time, I have it on both my nipples, and the wound is deeper. I tried using Nipple Shield, but it didn't work since Agasha chewed the Nipple Shield without even noticing that actually there were the real one behind it (-_-'). So I've decided that there's no other way than me must pump the breastmilk out and feed it to Agasha from milk bottle :(

I'm sad, so sad....I really do enjoying feeding Agasha straight skin to skin. How he fall asleep with his lips still attached to mommy's booby, then we both sleep together and I just clutch him close...*sob*sob*

And now.......*more sobs.......

Hopefully it just for temporarily, and hopefully the wounds can heal quickly....Amin

Cotton Candy

Helloow....Angels!

It's end of the weekend....*sigh*

Well, we spent this Sunday laid-back at home. Had a quick visit to your uncle Radi's in the afternoon, then return for dinner. But yesterday, we managed to had a quick sightseeing....(actually, Oma wanted to buy some books for her Coaching work, and we accompanied her). So we went to Aksara Bookstore at Citoz,  look around for a while, and I spotted this eye catching book cover, "Bringing Up Bebe" by Pamela Druckerman. Thank you Danielle from The Pretty Smitties for the book review, this book is definitely on my Wish List ;)

Then stopped over at Starbucks for an Iced Hazelnut Chocolate, a Cheese Cake, and 3 Peanut Butter Sandwiches to go. Oh, and the girls finally had their long time obsession : Cotton Candy....yeaayy!!

(Aaand....guess who was interested with Mommy's make up case..???)

Inspiring Retro Mummy

Hi Darling......

Recently I'm reading an inspiring blog made by an inspiring Aussie Mom, Corrie. She's a mother of four adorable children and a coming soon baby, a Sydney residents, and called her hubby with Retro Daddy....how cool is that!?!

My first met with her blog was because of its cool blog name : Retro Mummy

Then I read the first five posts, just to find out whether or not I'm feeling any chemistry with the blog, with the contents, with all the elements in it that can create a connection between me and the writer. And undoubtedly, I become a follower of her blog straight away! There are some similarity between Corrie and me, we both used to had a good career before decided to become a full time Mommy, and we both love to do crafts. Unfortunately, my excitement for crafting must stop for a while, why? Let's just say "excuses" gets in the way...hehehe :p. Yup, reading Retro Mummy really got me red-faced on this one, 'coz even with the hustle and bustle of being a mother she can still manage to do the things that she love, that's awesome!

Short story, Corrie has inspiring me through her fabulous Blog. Retro Mummy has truly enlightened me and gave me new energy to lead my role as a Mother/Wife/Women......Thank you Dearest Corrie :)

PS 1 : My habits when followed someone blogs, I read it from the bottom, that is from the first posting, that way I feel like reading the person's Life Journal

PS 2 : Thank you uncle Radi from Q9 for editing the web page :D

Food for fuel

My Angels.....Mommy's Gems :*

I just managed to upload what we had for lunch yesterday at Solaria, another well known Family Resto in Indonesia which branches spread almost (maybe) throughout the country, and yes it's a franchise. I tried rice with Rica-rica fish, daddy and Opa had rice with fried fish butter sauced, while Oma and the girls favoured fried rice noodles with beef.....Yummm!

PS : Mommy is really need to have Vitamin C, regularly for sure....In one week, I got Cold more than twice, how annoying...*blaagh :(

Pindang Iga vs Tom Yam Noodle

Hai Angels......Finally the computer was fixed and Mommy can posting again, thanks to your uncle Feu-feu...yeayy! But, one of my Card Reader port is broken, the one for M2 card, so I can't transfer pictures from my Sony Ericsson's memory card....sucks! :( 

Oh well, at least I can upload to Blogger Mobile from my SE ;P....without any further editing :(

Anyway, last Tuesday we had lunch at a new Resto, recommendation from your Oma. Mommy had Smoked Duck & Pindang Iga. Sadly, the Duck was to salty for me but the Pindang was niceee! Didn't bring my camera so no pictures of the food...sorry :p . And, later that night we went to Citoz, I had Tom Yam Noodle at Chopstick, sour and hot, so freshened up! Alhamdulillah, all of us had a wonderful dinner meals, thank you Chopstick ;D !

It is late at night, yes....but I really need to write this post as my gratitude to The Almighty for giving me the most valuable gift of all : TIME. I never know whether I can still make my gratitude next year...yup,you'll never know ;)

Alhamdulillah, I'm so so so grateful to Allah SWT for all the Blessings, all the Pleasures, all the Happiness, all the Sadness, even all the obstacles that You have given me through my 31 years of living in this beautiful world. There's so many had and has happened in my life, the Lost, the Achievements, the Ups and Downs...all those process has made my life much more meaningful...too as a person. 

Up until this point of my life -for 31 years- there's none to be regret, not a single episode I'd like to change, for the wisdom behind it help me to become a much better person and personality. My hopes and prays mainly is to be more Faithful in conducting my spiritual services (specially prays 5 times a day). I'm not pray to become a good mother, instead I pray that I could raise my children to be a good person with humble personality, faithful to God, independent and Balanced. And I'm always pray to be useful and helpful to surroundings, even it's a teeny-weeny things................Amin

I'm not asking any lavish gifts.....I just need the love from my mate, my children, my family, and my dearest Angels where ever you are.....Peace and Love (^^3).

Thrall...The Noble Greenskin

Hi Babes.......It's been a while, and I miss you so!

I'm in a process of reading this fabulous book. It's going to be one of my favourite from The WoW novels. Oh, I'm so loving it!

The outline of the story is about Thrall's journey in order to help The Aspects encounter the terror created by their old enemy, Deathwing, who had reanimated The Chromatus, the horror in shape of a leviathan with five heads. Each head coloured like the five dragonflight, Red-Blue-Green-Bronze-and Black, as for the purpose is to be an equal opponent and exterminate The Great Aspects.

Having asked by The green Aspect, Ysera, Thrall starts his journey by finding Nozdormu, The Aspect of Time. Then he must see the Blue dragonflight and their conflict of choosing the new Aspect of Magic to lead their flight. And there's still the most important task to do, to bring back Alextrasza-The Life Binder, from her grieve and wound and rejection of her love and future offspring's death. 

The story tells us that Orc, or sometimes called The Greenskin or the lesser race, aren't always rude, warmaniac, and less civilized. The story tells us that an Orc can be as wise as the other civilized race like Human or Elf, and they can be a trustable Ally. Thrall has definitely bring Orc to the high level.

Just a little bit more reading to finally finish this cool novel. Then....I'm going to read my Coco Chanel.....can't wait!

I'm Reading,Mommy!

Hi Angels....

Just got back from Sunday treat at Mall. Had sushi and sashimi for dinner at Daisho PIM2, so yummy and highly recommended !

Anyway, yesterday night Aisya surprised me by reading me a book.....yup, literally read me page by page, not the read-you-a-book-with-my-own-line kind of reading like she usually did. I mean...for real...my baby can read...seriously!?! I'm so so so proud of her....and it was so touchy...(YoY)
