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.

Yasmin is 7 mo

Alhamdulillah Yasmin is 7 mo already.
Every pregnancy is different so does every baby. 
She was more attach to me since I am a SAHM. I never leave her more than 2 hours. She's still nursing and waking up at night at least once. 
She's growing and eating well too. Her fav is mango and butternut squash purée.

She adores her sister so much. She giggles and laughs frantically when her sister play peek a boo or tag you rid. I love to see the healthy relationship between her and her sister. Inshallah, I will try my best to raise you and your sister with love dear.

Miss Rhonda's readers

When I was a kid, my mom never teach me how to read English book. I couldn't remember how I start learning to read too. I was a kampung girl. My life mostly or precisely like the cartoon upin n ipin. Exactly the same, where we all played batu seremban, tengteng n so on almost everyday. Athan is like our ring bell to go home every evening. It was fun! 

So when I grow up, reading book wasn't really my thing. Plus, I didn't have that much money to buy book. 

But, now I need to make sure my kids love reading books. 

So in order to reach the goal, my first step is to read as much book as possible  to her everyday. I just borrowed the books from the library. it's unlimited number, you can borrow as much as you can. Sometimes tu memang penat. But I guess now she's the one will reminding me to read her the book.

Now I'm on my second step. Independent reader. So I've bought some easy pheasy book for her.
She has started to love it. 

Here are the series! Why I choose these books? Simply because they are the suggested Montessori reading material. I think the content is good coz it's repetitive. I bought it from the Montessori services here in Santa Rosa. It's not cheap though but worth the investment. They offer a lot of other montessori materials too which I could help to decide on that day. 

Oh, I bought myself a book too. Ye la, duduk negara org no lain culturenya. I should equip myself with etiquette knowledge
