Maid oh Maid - Shud I be mad at her?

Yesterday I just found out that my maid use to feed Dayana who is merely 15 months old with bread cicah air kopi o...Can you believe it? Yes I repeat roti cicah kopi o....That is definitely not the way I thought her how to feed bread to Dayana...I tak sukalah orang yang memandai-mandai ni, especially when it comes to what to feed my children.
I was really mad at her, tapi tak boleh nak marah lebih-lebih kat dia...because I'm afraid she might do something bad to Dayana when I'm not around. You know dealing with maid memerlukan kesabaran yang sangat tinggi. Kalau ikutkan hati yang marah rasa macam nak je hantar bibik balik, for your information this is not the only memandai-mandai thing she did to my kids. But after thinking, kat manelah nak letak anak-anak kalau takde bibik kat umah, saya terpaksa bagi bibik peluang sekali lagi. Getting a new maid is not easy now..walaupun nursery banyak but it is really hard to find one that suit my criteria, kalau ade pun the cost is like a bomb, not just burn a hole in my pocket but it'll burn my whole pocket....So saya harus bersabar dan beri bibik peluang sekali lagi....

Cloth Diaper - Review

Dayana has been wearing cloth diaper (CD) for the past 10 months. So, I guess its time to give some reviews on the CD's she wore...But these reviews are solely base on my own experience...

Shopping therapy

Yesterday I went to Jalan TAR, konon-kononnye nak beli baju raya sambil release tension...Almaklumlah,orang pompuan ni kalo tension the best remedy is shopping, shopping dan shopping lagi.

This time we didn't park at Sogo, the reason being parking charges agak mahal RM2.50/hour. So we tried to park our car somewhere near Jakel, since I've already plan that I wanted to shop at Jakel only (ye ke?). Pusing punye pusing finally dapat parking betul-betul dekat dengan Jakel, but then the rate memang cekik darah, tapi sebab dah tak kuasa nak pusing lagi, park ajelah dekat situ..Oh ya rate nye RM5/hour (lagi mahal dari Sogo, tapi xpelah sebab tempat memang just few steps away from Jakel)...

Believe it or not, I only spent less than an hour in Jakel,sebab tak nak bayar parking mahal..hehehe..Tapi sempat jugak shopping kain untuk buat baju raya....

Tema tahun ni purple....kain plain colour tu untuk buat baju melayu encik suami and yang corak-corak abstrak kain chiffon untuk saya..

Yang ni untuk buat baju kurung anak-anak saya ...kakak and adik dapat 2 pairs each


On our way back to Kajang, we dropped by at Ampang Park sebab nak makan nasi lemak antarabangsa yang sangat sedap tu....But, I'm very very dissappointed sebab kedai nasi lemak tu tutup untuk proses ubah suai....Frust sangat

Belajarlah untuk bersyukur

Today, on my way back from office hubby and I dropped by at Yus restaurant to have early dinner. While enjoying my food (roti sardin), one man came. Lelaki ini jual macam-macam jenis kerepek. What is so significant bout this one man????

Kulit lelaki ini dah hitam legam dek kerana panas matahari berjalan merata tempat setiap hari untuk pastikan kerepeknya habis dijual..Bukan niat saya untuk menghina lelaki ini, tapi saya sangat kagum dengan semangatnya. Hati saya tersentuh, melihat how people struggle to survive. Mata saya bergenang....

Saya berasa sangat bertuah, kerana saya tidak perlu bersusah payah seperti lelaki ini untuk hidup...Kalau nak dibandingkan dengan lelaki ini,kerja saya jauh lebih mudah. I'm not supposed to complain about my job. Saya bersyukur dengan apa yang saya ada.......

Air bersih?

Photobucket
Photo taken from here.

Lately,anak-anak saya selalu kurang sihat especially kakak. Kakak is very prone to flu, cough and phlegm,so bila dah flu berlanjutan agak lama, more than 5 days maka middle ear infection pun akan menjelma. Bila middle ear infection sudah menyerang, maka haruslah kakak makan antibiotic. This happen very frequent, almost every two weeks. Adik's immune system is bit stronger than kakak,but bila teman sepermainan selalu tak sihat sedikit sebanyak akan berjangkit ke adik.

I'm at my wits end, dah tak tau nak buat mcm mana..Multivitamin sudah diberi, vitamin C juga saya bagi, scotts emulsion pun saya bagi jugak, susu kakak pun sudah saya tukar from dutch lady to Dumex Mamil. A friend of mine suggested if I could install a water filter, maybe ini boleh kurangkan frequency kakak infected by flu dan yang sewaktu dengannya.

Since I'm staying in an apartment, it would be impossible to install an outdoor water filter so the best option would be an indoor filter (maksud saya filter yang diletakkan di dapur). After doing some research and reading reviews, I decided to get the Bioaura from Hai-O... But I bought it at bargain price from Mudah. At first I was contemplating between this brand and Bio-Pure from Elken. Both filter size are 0.01 nano. I chose Bioaura since it is cheaper (kalo dibandingkan ngan Bio Pure). I hope this big investment will work....Mama nak anak-anak mama sihat...
