12 months

Alhamdulillah Yasmin turns 1 year old today.
It has been a wonderful journey for the past 12 months. I am praying i can have more birthdays to celebrate with you my little darling. You are my angel.
MasyaAllah, she is just perfect to me. 

She just got her teeth erupted a couple weeks ago and starting to take few steps.
Alhamdulillah very independent and active baby. 
I guess every baby is different and adorable in different ways.

Dear yasmin, mommy loves u so much!

What i miss the most

Alhamdulillah we finally settle down and start the normal routine after 8 weeks of long vacation in malaysia
It's good to be back coz im just tired of traveling. Getting old i guess
Anyway, my park routine starts a few days back. I miss my playgroup so much and the park itself.
Ahahah, rindu oi nak bawak anak gi park sbb kat malaysia panas. Tak de masa nak singgah park. And the condition of certain park sangat menyedihkan.

Even though im having a blasting time during ramadhan in malaysia, tiny part of me i miss being in the masjid.
Kalau puasa kat santa rosa, almost every night we the whole family pergi tarawih. Kids are happy to join us.
Tapi balik malaysia, tak ada satu malam pon that i got the chance to go.
We were always out and on the go. 
Sedihkan? This is a muslim country. Supposely masjid is more lively. Maybe i je kot yg masih berfoya2. Asyik mencari tempat untuk berbuka and berjumpa.
Mungkin kesilapan diri sendiri.

Hopefully i can have another ramadhan here insyaAllah

Family restroom


Most of the outlets and malls in the States offer these amenities, family restrooms. 
It's convenient for big family, for a daddy that needs to bring his daughter to potty or for us the muslim family. 
Having said that, we always choose to use this restroom coz hubby can enter too and i think it's more privacy to change yasmin's diaper. Besides we  all bole amik air sembahyang dengan tenang.    

Unfortunately, there are people who i call
them mangkuk coz they don't understand or buat2 tak paham use this bathroom where it is clearly stated for family. Geram ya amat! 

The other day, Zara really wanted to potty and we waited patiently outside the restroom. We tried to calm
zara and asked her to hold it for as she could. Suddenly the door open and saw this single guy coming out from the family  rest room. Huihhhh, angin satu badan!

Tak considerate lansung! It happens in USA yalls

Busy packing

Assalamualaikum,
Alhamdulillah, another 2 weeks time we'll wake up in kuala lumpur, 
The excitement for the journey is high so does my headache too. 
So many things to pack and i need to make sure that i utilize every space that i have. 
Currently just finish packing 4 luggage and mostly are my business stuff.
There are few more things to buy.eg mosquitoes repellent. This is a must item to bring. Coz i remember the last time we went back, zara was covered with the mosquitoes bite. It's all over her skin. 

We will be back for 8 weeks and i am pretty sure the time will be a glimpse. We  plan the akikah one of the day after raya too. And i hope we can have some family time at one of the island if time permits. 
The mess

Post natal weight at 7mo

Alhamdulillah, although it's not drastically decrease, i can see slight improvement. 


I was 61.8kg before. 
Alhamdulillah i find my running partner the past 2 months. We have been helping each other by taking turns watching the kids at play ground. We squeeze our running time in between. 3 times a week at least, not bad huh?

Unfortunately, my running partner is leaving for Egypt tomorrow and she will be there for a month. I don't want to just be idle and do nothing.

After much of persuasion with hub, he lets me join zumba class everyday. I guess i gotta to work harder so it will worth the investment. 

Today, i went for the trial class.
I sweat like a pig. It makes me moves my entire body parts while enjoying the catchy music. Cant wait to go for my next class. 

50 days till malaysia!

Busy weekend

Normally we are out of town almost every weekend. Hardly had a chance to explore our own area. 
This week, we decided to just enjoy the weekend here in Santa Rosa. 
There were 2 main events held at downtown, the rose parade and agmen cycling race tour the california. 

We love to watch parade. The live music, the school marching band, the cars and the performers are the best thing. If you are with little kids, my advice is to make sure that you have the food, water n toys ready coz it can be 2 hours long. 

And on Sunday, there was the finale of tour the california race. This was my first time watching it. I didnt join hub n zara last year for this annual event. Despite the hot weather, i really enjoy it. Towards the finishing line, the crowds were really excited with the bell, whistle and the claps . Meremang bulu roma. Memang the cyclist laju gila! Awesome event.

And now, yasmin dah gelap due to excessive sun exposure. Her cheek is pink, mcm pakai blusher.
