30 January 2019

No comments
Salam and hye!

Today is my birthday! Alhamdulillah I turned 27 this year. I am always the one who is the most excited when it comes to others birthday... but not mine 😂 I always feel gloomy when it's my birthday. I always question myself, "What have I done with my life before?" "What do I want to achieve in my life?" "What is my purpose in life?" "I don't know what I want to be" etc.

Plus, since I just gave birth to my baby, I feel like my birthday is not for me, but for my mom. So we should celebrate my mom? Thank you mak! 😘

Anyway, this is so random, since it is my birthday, I feel like listing 27 random facts about me. So here we go.
  1. I really love blue colour. If that wasn't obvious enough. My room is blue, my clothes are blue, my baby girl clothes are blue and basically everything that I own, I want it to be blue. 💙 
  2. I love free stuffs and I love to keep every single thing including boxes and plastic bags. I'm having a hard times letting go my things. How am I going to do Konmari? 😂
  3. I have been blogging since I was thirteen years old. But I keep those blogs private now. I still read my previous blogs just to have a good laugh on myself once in awhile.
  4. I'm the youngest in my family so I got spoiled a lot. But I also handed-down clothes a lot. The handed-down clothes is now applicable to my baby since she have a lot of older cousins. 😂 I I love taking my siblings clothes and random things I've found in the house. They didn't even know they have those things until I wear or use them. 😂
  5. I never live outside Selangor. Except when I was 2-3 years old where I live in UK because my dad continued his study.
  6. I love signing up for marathon or saying yes whenever my friends want to go hiking even though I'm not fit and always question my decision when I was running or hiking.
  7. I have lots of journal, different purpose of for each journal. I've been journaling since I was young, I don't even know it was called journaling.
  8. I'm always an average student. Never the brightest, except when I was in standard 3, I got number 1 in my batch. But other than that, I'm always average. Most of the time I don't think my teachers know my existence. 😂
  9. I love dessert! I can eat everything. My most favourite is anything cheesy.
  10. My favourite fruit is mango!
  11. I love to celebrate people and making surprises! But I don't know how to act when my friends trying to surprise me. They will definitely kantoi with me. 😂
  12. I used to have blue belt taekwondo. Don't mess with me. 
  13. I was in my (primary) school netball team, I played as a Goal Shooter. I love netball! It's been so long since I last play it. I love shooting but I can't run that much cause I used to have asthma. That's why I was always the GS, not GA.
  14. I used to ran really fast. I was always number 1 during my kindergarten's sports day.
  15. I studied law, but I don't like politics. People always think that lawyer knows everything but I don't know most of tje things.
  16. Pokemon is my most favourite cartoon, I never miss watching it when I was small. My favourite Pokemon is Charmander.
  17. I grow up with Disney and I love fairytales!

Salam.

Honestly, I have a totally different vision of my 2019 at the 1st week of 2019. Now, I kinda think that I need to reshuffle my thoughts and priority. First thing first, regarding my career. I'm still 50 - 50 to step up from my comfort zone and to growth career wisely or to take a break and focus on my baby. And I don't think it is achievable to upload videos every week for the time being. Means, I might need to change my theme of the year also. Let just go with the flow right now.

Anyway, I think I might just need to list what I want to achieve this year and just go with it.

1. Read 15 books.
2. Hafaz 5 new surah.
3. Hafaz Juzk 30.
4. Achieve 55-59kg.

You and Tidying Up with Marie Kondo | Netflix Reviews

25 January 2019

No comments
Since I can't watch any movies in cinema nowadays, I've been watching a lot more of Netflix. I'll probably just gonna share my thoughts on my favourite movies or series from now on, cause I think I watched kinda a lot and not all of them spark joy to me. 😂

1. You (Series)


B and I, we both have very different taste in movies and series. It is kinda hard to find something that both of us can enjoy watching together. But this series, is awesome! B loves thriller, I don't like thriller. But this one is so addictive and entertaining. We finished watching this together for about 4 days I think. I don't know it was a thriller series at first because B obviously chose it and force me to watch it.

👥Acting : I love everyone in this movie! Penn Badgley is so good, how can be so psycho and innocent at the same time.

🎢Plot : I love every episode! But why do it have to end that way? Now I can't wait for the season 2. 😓

🌠Total Star : 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟



I love reality show. And I've known Marie Kondo since last year. Aileen keep mentioning her book and do the konmori challenge in her Lavendaire's Youtube. I was so excited to finally meet her in person, I mean watching her on her show. I've been getting the idea to declutter and reorganize my space since last year. I was actually in the middle of new year's cleaning when I bumped into this show.

🎢Plot : Every series has different theme and there's only something new that she teach.

🌠Total Star : 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


 Other movies that I watched in Netflix this month are:
1. Battle
2. Cargo
3. Circle - This one kinda cool 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Netflix shows and series are getting better, I'm so excited to watch so many of them!

#3 Mom | Gratitude Journal 🌠

23 January 2019

No comments
Salam lovelies.

 Today I want to talk about my superwoman, mak. 🌸 

My mom cooks the most delicious foods ever, I grow up eating delicious food, thank you mak! She can bake and even decorate the cake! She can sew clothes, make smocking dresses, gardening and literally everything that an ideal mother should be able to do. She makes everything look so easy to do! She's kinda sets high standard of how-to-be-a-mother. #pressured I hope I can be half as good as her. 

 My mom is someone who will tell directly to her daughters, "YOU HAVE PIMPLES ON YOUR FACE" when obviously they know. 😂 She is someone who will tell her daughter, "Just bear with it. That's normal." when her daughter was having a contraction pains. #toughlove Words is not her language of love. 😂 My mom is like the typical Asean Mom. She doesn't really show her loves with words but trough action. 

 I was a grumpy teenager. I always fight with my mom. I'm sorry I was a terrible teenager. Sorry mak. We never really say sorry, but my mom will cook meals for me and everything will be back to normal. 💙 I have an awesome childhood mak, thank you.

 Now that I'm older, married and have a baby, I'm beginning to understand my mom better. I'm closer to her than ever. I know I'm not her favourite child (although she will never admit it and always argue that she loves everyone equally), but we can have a decent conversation now and I can start telling her secrets. 💙 I am so thankful for my mom.

 I pray for the highest Jannah for you, Mak. May you always be healthy and happy. I know I don't really post about you in my social medias, because that's just not my language of love, (and also, you, kakak and kakchik will bahan me later). but I love you a lot! Thank you for always making me feels safe and home. You feels like home Mak. You are my home. 💙

Confession of A New Mommy : Breastfeeding & Confinement Story

18 January 2019

No comments
I have a really tough breastfeeding and confinement days.

I believe Allah is so fair and He doesn't give you a test that He knows you can't handle.

As everyone knows, I had a smooth pregnancy and delivery journey. Alhamdulillah. But I had a really tough breastfeeding and confinement journey. My I was really struggling with bonding and motherhood at first.

Breastfeeding

I thought breastfeeding was easy? Uhh, no one give me a warning how difficult it could be? I never saw my sisters struggling with breastfeeding before. I was so mentally unprepared! The milk won't came out at first, probably because I was so tired and there are a lot of people visited us on the first day, so we can't bond that well yet, since the baby was passed to others more instead of me. Future note, don't tell anyone you had delivery a baby until you feel a lot better. First child, no experience, I was so excited I texted almost every of my friends. And B texted his family and friends too 😂 BIG mistake.

I was so stress out because B and I wanted to fully breastfeed our baby. We don't even prepared with the bottle and formula milk. Thank God my mom, my sisters and my sisters in law help me a lot. They reaffirmed us that it is normal for the milk to come a bit later. My SIL bought the bottle and formula milk for the baby, because B still insist that the baby doesn't need a formula milk. He was afraid that the baby doesn't want my milk anymore. 

Alhamdulillah after the confinement lady came and give me massage, the milk started to flow out more. Alhamdulillah we stop formula milk immediately. 

But then the pain started. Baby doesn't know how to latch properly, my nipples crack, breast engorgement yada yada. Let just say I was having the most rough time of my life.

Confinement

I was so excited for confinement before the delivery, because I wanted to be pamper. 😂 Man I was wrong. I was so tired all the time. I don't get enough sleep. I don't get enough rest. No one told me it was going to be this hard! I thought delivery was the hardest part? No.

It was double the pain for me because my jahitan luka bersalin tercabut. I was supposed to recover within one week only, but I'm still in pain for at least 4 weeks! Fuhh Talked about this on my anniversary post. 

Thank God I have a very strong and supportive support system. B woke up every night to give B yo me when it's time for breastfeeding. He give bath and change diapers everytime he's at home. Mak and Ayah help give baby bath and change diaper until I'm fully recovered. Mak cook for me, pantang food but still delicious. How to lose weight? Urgh

The best part about confinement is when the confinement lady came. I get so excited to be pamper! And she is so nice and good!

I am so thankful for my family and friends visits. At least they cheer me up. I got so excited every time anyone of my friends visit. 

💡 MOMMY'S TIPS :
  1. Announce your delivery after you get full rest and have time to bond with your baby. 2 weeks after delivery or after confinement. You won't feel guilty to stop people from visiting you.
  2. Keep calm. Calm mommy, calm baby.
  3. Nipple cream helps a lot. I used Madela Purelan and Frankincense Essential Oil.
  4. Join breastfeeding community. I join one in Facebook, The Breastfeeding Advocates Network, TBAN. You will feel a lot better knowing that you're not alone and knowing that you're not the only one who feel like a loser. True story.
  5. Sleeps when your baby sleeps.
  6. Don't think about chores. Don't do chores.
  7. Drink a lot of water. Have water bottle with you all the time. Breastfeeding is hard work.
  8. Eat healthy for you to recover fast and for your milk booster.
  9. Spend a lot of time with your baby. Bonding time.
  10. Don't play phone while breastfeeding!
  11. It's okay that you're not the one who bath your baby, who change their diapers at first. You need a lot of rest. Don't feel guilty.
  12. Get helps! Your husband, your family or even your confinement lady.
  13. Preparation before your delivery is IMPORTANT. I labelled all of my baby's drawers, cause I know B will ask me where did I put everything. I already label everything so it makes everything so easy! 
  14. Enjoy the journey! 
  15. IT WILL GET BETTER!

Alhamdulillah everything is better now. I can fully breastfeed Nafeesa, and she sleeps so well at night. She is so well behave and doesn't cry much. I can feel the bonding now. 💙

One thing I realized is that when I calm, she definitely calms too. So, calm mommy, calm baby. Happy mommy, happy baby. When I feel stress out, I will take a deep breath and try to calm myself because she will definitely cry if I feel stress out. That's how strong our bonding is I guess. 😂  Can't wait for you to grow and we can learn and play together! Hello bff. 💞

Five Imaginary Lives 💡

16 January 2019

No comments



Inspired by Lavendaire's video above.

💡 If I could live out five imaginary lives, what would I be/do? 

 1. Become an event planner or have a surprise delivery services 

I love decorating and make my own DIY gifts. I helped set up photobooth and candy buffet for my sister's wedding and organize my niece's birthday party. I made my own DIY gifts for Meon and Mas' Long Call ceremony. I made lots of DIY gifts for B before and after marriage. Maybe I should make more DIY gifts this year and do surprise celebration for my family and friends this year. 💙

2. Open a book cafe

 With lots of home made donuts, breads, and desserts. People will come to just chill and read books. There will be quiet zone and performing stage for anyone who wants to perform, freely! One of my wildest dream!

3. Have my own volunteer or supportive community, where we share positivity, support each other and help others

I'm still searching for the right community where I can just click, but so far, I haven't found the right one for me. Maybe I should create my own and gather the people but I don't know how.

4. Traveler and do travel vlogs

I love travelling. I want to have my own travel series or something. I want to bring the world to everyone. I want people to see the beauty of Allah's creations, the history, the food, the culture and the people.

5. Film Director

I have always wanted to become a film director, since secondary school. I don't know why. I like the idea of filming. I should really started with creating short films in youtube.

I have so many more dreams lives but let just stick with five for now. When I was studying in university, I kept telling my friends, "I wish I could be..." "I can totally be..." which most of them, is not law related. 😂 But perhaps one day I can still do all of these dreams, somehow.

The Labour Story 👶

11 January 2019

No comments
Assalamualaikum and hye everyone! 

It's been more than 2 months since I gave birth to my first baby. So I guess it's time for me to share with you my labour story. I've been repeating the same story for more than 30 times now, to all my family and friends. 😂 Alhamdulillah it was quite fast and smooth, but still a little bit painful journey for me. I just feel so relieved and thankful that it was over now.

Friday's Night - 2nd November 2018

It's all started on the night before my labour day. I was just relaxing on my bed, scrolling down my social medias while B was playing his PS4. Suddenly I saw blood stain on my bed, I told B and he immediately freak out. 😂 It was so funny seeing how freak out he was. 
I took my shower, taking my time, still calm and relaxing.  And when I finished showering I realised that B was taking his shower in other bathroom, rushing, not calm at all. 😂
I went downstair, told my parents, and they asked whether my amniotic fluid's leaks. I said no. They calmly said just go to bed and go to the hospital the next morning. 😂

Saturday - 3rd November 2018


8am - Woke up early and went to find breakfast nearby hospital area. Found like pasar pagi, had a lot of foodstalls. I eat everything that I want because let's face it, I won't be able to eat any of them after my delivery. Kuey teow goreng, ayam tepung goreng, kuih-muih, etc.
Thank you so much to all of the hospital's staffs, midwife, nurses, doctor and houseman. They were very nice and supportive. Best walaupun tak ambil private wing pun, hospitality memang tip top la. Lagipun tak ramai orang pun dalam wad tu. Maybe sebab Sabtu 😂 It was very comfortable and the and the nurses were very helpful.


I asked Dr. Google whether I can still pray, and yes, I can still pray because it's not darah nifas.   

10am - You know, the hardest part of the delivery is actually when the doctor checking for the cervical dilation. Oh man, the pain was something else. Maybe my body was shocked. Contraction wasn't this bad! That's what I thought at first. 😂 It was 3 centimeters dilated, so I need to be warded. Thankfully it was weekend and the visiting hours was from 12pm - 7pm. So B was with me all the time. Just that... he was sleeping on my bed. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you, B. So I did my exercises, praying and calming myself,  preparing to see my baby.

3pm - Second time to check how many centimetres dilated. I was still very much traumatized from the first one. Oh God, the second time is still hurts really bad! To my disappointment, it was still 3 centimeters dilated! I thought it was already 7 centimeters or something. 😂 And this time around, the doctor (different doctor) was trying to open up the way. I don't know what she did, but I felt so much pain. I ended up crying really bad in the toilet. When I came back to my bed, my parents were already there. I can't control my tears and I cried some more. B was really worried, he hugged me and consoled me while my mom, being an asian mom said, "Memang la macam tu. Tahan je la." while playing her phone 😂 And then... the real contraction started to kick in. Man I was wrong about contraction and hypnobirthing whattt 🤷🏻‍♀️

 Konon nak hypnobirthing la kan, tak sempat pergi kelas pun, sempat tengok youtube a few videos je. Podcast dekat iphone ingat nak dengar, tapi tak sempat. So macam okayh its all about your mind je ni. Lepas tu bila contraction betul-betul jadi, ha kelaut semua hypnobirthing kau. Mental lemah gila, terus tak ingat apa-apa. Hypnobirthing is also about breathing, ha breathing pun kelaut. Tak boleh jerit sebenarnya sebab buang tenaga, takde makna I jerit je dekat wad tu. Kacau patient lain pun tak ingat dah common courtesy ke apa. Nasib baik ada husband yang keep reminding me you can do it and count the breathing techniques together. Ok lepas ni kena pergi kelas hypnobirthing betul-betul, tengok mat saleh relax je. I can do it next time. Ok la for someone yang belajar sendiri dekat youtube je 😂

But I'm still glad I came prepared with some knowledge at least. Some is better than nothing. 😂 I struggled to have a relax calm and empowering delivery. I'm trying to learn whatever I knew, but when you're in pain, you don't remember anything. Thank God B was there supporting me all the way till the end. It was an ups and downs journey. Sometimes I'm strong, sometimes I just wanted to give up. I remembered how most of the time, I just wanted to give up. But I power through. 💪🏻 Alhamdulillah. Thanks to my husband for the support and for keep reminding me to breath in 4 and breath out 8.

6pm - The third check up was supposed to be on 7pm. But I was in so much pain. I screamed really bad I think the whole ward can hear me. 😂 I asked B to call for the doctor. But when the doctor came, I was really scared so I asked the doctor to wait. Me and B keep on walking in the ward for some exercise, and the doctor saw me in real pain. So the doctor asked whether I want to check now, I was like whatever, I'm in pain, let just do this quickly. 😂 Alhamdulillah it was 6 centimeters this time. And the doctor quickly want to break my amniotic fluid. I'm like, "What are you doing?" They asked me to relax and I can feel my amniotic fluids flows. I was immediately being taken to bed first, say bye bye to my parents and off to the labour room. Serius macam drama apa 😂

6.45pm - When I was pushed into the labour room, I was like, "Wow is this how it looks like? Nothing like television drama." 😂 The room was so small but comfy. That time I feel like I need to poop! 😂 Actually it was the baby. I keep on screaming. Thank God B was there supporting me, keep reminding me to breath in and breath out. The midwife gave me Entonox. "Entonox (gas and air) is a colourless, odourless gas made up of half oxygen and half nitrous oxide. It's also known as laughing gas. It can take the edge off labour pain." But honestly, I don't feel like it lessen my pain at all? 😂

 The midwife keep on checking for the cervical dilation. Surprisingly, I no longer feel any pain like the first 3 time, when she checked for the dilation. It was first 7 centimeters. I feel like eternity waiting for the dilation and the doctor! And finally it was 9 centimeters, and the doctor arrived. When the doctor arrived she checked and it was 10 centimeters, she immediately asked me to push. I was like, "Huh? I can push now? Really?" 😂 I was so nervous but too tired to think. I'm not sure how many time I push. The midwide was very helpful and supportive. She reminded me not to waste my energy screaming my lung out. She keep on saying that how good I am, because I know how to push. Thank you. 🌸

7.28pm - Finally, alhamdulillah my baby's safely born. And she is healthy. And behave. And perfect. Alhamdulillah. Immediate skin to skin. I love this hospital, they did all the birth plan that I wanted eventhough I don't specifically ask for it. Then, I thought the hardest part was over. It wasn't over yet. Kena jahit pula dah. 😭 The midwife took my baby because I was restless. It was only 15 minutes skin to skin. She took the baby to weight her and gave to my husband to azan her. Sakit gila jahit adoi. 30 minit sejam juga la. Tapi rasa macam lamanyaaaaaa. Lepas habis jahit, sambung skin to skin and breastfeed.

9.30pm - Finally I can go back to the ward. Ayah kiss me, of course. While Mak just wanted to see the baby. 😂 Hello Mak, I'm here! I was the one who's in pain.
I'm glad that I'm having contraction in the evening, I have my husband's support. Kalau tengah malam sorang-sorang dalam wad lagi sedih. I dah la manja lembik semua 😂 Kesian tengok patient depan ni kena hadap contraction sorang-sorang malam tu.

And I kira laju la lepas masuk labour room terus beranak. Orang lain 12 jam la apa la. Alhamdulillah. Allah tolong. I really push my body like crazy, please cooperate with me. I'm just too tired. 😂

Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for easing my pregnancy journey and labour journey. You always knows what's the best for me. 🌸 

Dear Nafeesa 👶, thank you for being so behave. Alhamdulillah you are healthy, behave and perfect. I love you already!  💙

Gratitude | Words of Wisdom 🌟

09 January 2019

No comments
Salam and hye guys!

Previously on my Words of Wisdom series I talk about HAPPY. Today, I want to talk about something that is very related with happiness which is GRATITUDE.

Years ago, during my my doomed years or "zaman kejatuhan" as I would like to call it, I notice that I was lack of gratitude before. I didn't realized how blessful my life is. My roommate said my life is like a fairytales. Maybe in her eyes, I have everything that she wanted. But I did not being grateful at all.

When I decided to be happy again at the end of 2014, I started to be grateful again. I started to notice every single details of my life. Now, I even have a specific journal just to list out everything I am grateful for. I write on my gratitude journal every once a week just to remind me how blessful my life is. Even if I have a bad week or a rough day, I will try to find at least one good thing that day.

I also read The Magic (The Secret #3) by Rhonda Byrne where she talks about how to get everything you want by being grateful and how to be grateful. 

💙 Count your blessings:- 
1. Your healthy body
2. Your soundmind
3. Your home
4. Your deen
5. Your relationship, family and friends
6. Your job, career, money, & finance
7. Your hobby & passions

💡 Journal Prompt & Exercises:


1. List things that you are grateful for every week.
2. Practice saying Alhamdulillah as much as possible

We need to be grateful in order for us to receive more. 💙 As Allah says in one of my favourite ayah in the Quran, "If you are grateful, I will surely give you more and more" (Ibrahim 14:7)

You have everything that you need now because Allah knows the best. Trust Him and starts counting your blessings. 💙

💙 Love and prayers,
AS
