Orang 'Tiru' ???!!!!

"Mama kenape orang 'tiru' pakai tongkat?"

"Orang 'tiru' ???"

Tapi sebab die tanye tu sambil dua2 tangan pegang raket badminton macam tongkat, mama terus paham... so mama tanye,

" Orang tua ke?"

Mata terkebil2 kejap, then die pun cakap,

"Ye, orang tua.."

Mama pun explain la sebab2 kenape orang tua pakai tongkat... die pun angguk2 sambil cakap,

"Ooooooooooohhhh..."

Pastu die pun meneruskan aktiviti jadi orang tua and berjalan la die dengan raket badminton kiri kanan, konon2 cam tongkat la hehe..

Tak lama pastu, die datang lagi kat mama masih lagi dgn tongkat and start tanye,

"mama, nape nape nape orang tua tu die..."

Ayat terberenti tiba2, and then her face suddenly lights up!!

"Mama dengar tak!!?? Pandai tak Fatini cakap?? haaaaa orang tua !!!"

Cara cakap tu memang sungguh excited wokeh!! Mama pun bagi die smile yg paling besar and hug die, sambil cakap,

"Ye la, Fatini memang pandai!!"

Mama pun excited x hengat sebab tengok die excited hehe

Die pun so motivated and excited sebab dapat pujian, x sudah kan pun soklan die, terus je pegi masih lagi bertongkat...

A few minutes passed by, tiba2 dengar suara die kat living room cakap ngan Afeef,

"Afeef!! Tengok nih!! Fatini jadi orang 'tiru'.."

Dengan nada yang sungguh confuse, Afeef pun tanye..

"Orang 'tiru' ????!!!"

Mama kat dalam bilik, ape lagi tergelak la sorang2 hehehehe!!

Keukenhof, Holland... Happy moments and tragedy..

Oh, feel like ages since I last wrote here... bukan ape, tetibe jadi malas nak update blog, tapi atas permintaan ramai, terpaksa la update jugak.. hehehe.. konon2 la ade permintaan ramai, padahal sebenarnye x de pun hehehe.

Cerita sikit la sblom cerita ni basi, bout last wekend trip ke Keukenhof, Holland. Keukenhof ni memang ler taman bunga yg tersangat la indah nye, rase cam di alam fantasi pun ade. And tersangat la banyak tulip yg pelbagai warna, and since I'm a huge fan of Tulip, excited nye jangan cakap la heheheheh..

So, nak ke Holland dr Kaiserslautern ni agak jauh, so friday kami dah mula kan journey, singgah di Bonn bermalam di rumah Shahmi and Zinnirah.. Shahmi and Zinn ni ex UIA student sebenarnye, lebih kurang sama badge and study enineering jugak, but how funny I never really noticed them though Zinn does look familiar, then both of them jadi lecturer pulak kat UMP hahaha, what a coincidence kan, and still x pernah jumpe zinnirah masa di Kuantan, tapi takdir menentukan segalanye (wah ayat cam dlm novel), kami bertemu di bumi Deutschland :)

Both of them tersangat la baik hati, and terima kasih banyak2 atas segalanya..

So pagi Sabtu bermula la rombongan cik kiah, naik bas ramai2, 4 family termasuk my family. Lepas subuh bout 5 pagi dah kuar rumah.. dalam bas semua bebudak tido je :)

Berehat sebentar sambil minum kopi yg memang spesyel ni heheh.. spesyel sebab ade love tu, rasa nye? pahit ler sbb x sempat buh gula, pastu asyik bersembang lupe nak minum, sedar2 bas dah nak bertolak, so minum je la pahit2 ngeh ngeh..

Budak2 pulak cam biase sesi bermain2..

Lebih kurang 4 hours journey, sampai la kami ke destinasi yg di tuju.. mak aaaii ramai nye la orang!! Macam tin sardin..

Ini antara favorite saya.. sangat geram tengok bunga2 yg menawan nih..

Yang ni jugak my favorite.. Tulip oh tulip..

Bergambar romantis di bawah pohon sakura :)

Ni memang la paling spesyel.. sangat unik, rasa cam berjalan atas air...

Berpiknik selepas penat berjalan..

Ini lah semua ahli rombongan, dari kiri Mael, Zura (isteri Mael, Zura ni sangat pandai layan budak2 tau), Zinnirah (thank you Zinn for everything, appreciate sgt hadiah pokok tulip nih), Yla (yg sungguh lemah lembut, ngeee suke awak) and yg sebelah kanan skali tu suami Zinn, Shahmi. Walaupun pada mulanye rase cam tak berbaloi gi trip ni ngan bayaran yg mahal and pegi satu tempat je, and fikir kalau sewa kereta lebih berbaloi coz lebih jimat and bole singgah bnyk tempat lain, tapi in the end I've realized hikmahnye, dapat gather beramai2 camni and dapat kenal dgn lebih rapat ngan semua warga Bonn ni is actually priceless... sangat seronok dapat berkumpul and kenal2 ngan mereka2 ni yg tersangat la baik hati, and insyaAllah, jumpe lagi di Aidilfitri nanti :)

Sunday, piknik pulak, thanx to all of them for precious moments.. tapi sayang Yla and suami x dapat join skali, maybe next time..

mmmmm.. that's not the end of the story yet.. ade sikit tragedy on the way balik dari Keukenhof ke Bonn.. Bas bertolak balik about 5pm, dah masuk waktu Asar, so kami decide nak solat jamak takhir dalam bas aje.. toilet pun ade dalam bas tu, so bole la ambil wudhu. Fatini pulak dah tetido lena sungguh, so papa baringkan die kat dua seat yg kosong... ade 4 seat kosong in one row actually, so I pun duduk la kat seat kosong bertentang Fatini utk solat. Ingat nak dok seat tu terus so dapat la jaga Fatini, takut2 die terjatuh pulak. Alangkah terkejutnye, dah hampir selesai solat, about to give salam, tiba2 bas belanggar ngan sebuah kereta.. the impact wasn't so massive but it was loud enough to startle all children in the bus and ade sorang sampai berdarah hidung sebab terantuk la kot. It happened in a few seconds, sgt mengejutkan especially bila budak2 semua menangis termasuk la Aleena. But, Subhanallah, Fatini mantain tido, and masa pelanggaran tu, I was bout to give salam, so my head was bout to turn to the right side, I saw a glimpse of her body moving forward, in accordance with the momentum of the impact, I remember feeling panick and uncertain in that few seconds, either to stop praying and prevent Fatini from falling or just continue solat... but, Subahanallah, it's as if something held her in place.. and she just continue her sleep peacefully.. Alhamdulillah...

Because of the accident, we were delayed by one hour and a half kot.. fuuuhhh just imagine camne restless nye budak2 ni.. and bile dah finally selesai and bas pun bergerak balik, massive traffic jam pulak, last2 sampai la kami ke Bonn dalam pukul 12 tgh malam kot huhuhu.. semua nye kepenatan...

Nevertheless, the trip was awesome, and we had a great time... berbaloi baloi laaa hahaha..

Inilah Yang Di Namakan Rezeki...

Ni pun cerita yang dah agak basi, last last Saturday punye cerite but nak share jugak heheh.. bukan ape, kengkadang kite tak sedar, rezeki yang Allah beri kat kite, too many of us often complain and whine when we don't get what we want kan? When actually dah banyak sangat nikmat lain yang Allah bagi and yang tak pernah di ambil kembali.. kadang2 nikmat tu kecik je, sampai kite x perasan or nampak... Tapi sifat semulajadi manusia, suka highlight kan ape yg dia tak de.. I myself sometimes pun camtu, but I try my best untuk sentiasa bersyukur...

Ok, we had our lunch at Kebab Restaurant, we often had our lunch here, mostly on wekend, but this particular day, the restaurant was a bit crowded than usual.

So, order la cam biase, I had a Spegati, Papa order kebab, and Afeef cam biase memang akan order favorite die, Fried Turkey Fillet with fries and salad and Fatini akan share ngan Afeef...

mmm.. memang puas hati la makan kat sini, sedap..

So mama had to buy something, when I wasn't around, our meals arrived at our table.. Semua yg di order betul sampai except for Afeef.. Tak nampak macam Fillet ayam Turkey goreng pun kan?? Papa dah perasan tapi ingat kan diorang tersilap faham, and terprepare yg lain dr yg di order.. tak terfikir pulak yg waiter tersilap anta !!

So, x pe la Afeef, makan je, diorang dah tersilap buat la ni, nak wat camne, tak perlu la komplen komplen, lagi pun kalau nak komplen kena cakap Deutsch pulak hahaha....

Tapi, Fatini pulak bising nak fries, sebab selalu nye meal Afeef mesti ade fries, so Fatini akan makan fries nye. Belum sempat papa pegi order fries, tiba-tiba...

Unexpectedly, sampai pulak lagi satu meal..!! Haiyyaa.. ni baru betul yang Afeef order. So macam mana??? Baru la paham, sebenanye waiter yang tersilap anta, meal yang sebelum tadi sebenarnye orang lain punye order..

But, since Afeef dah pun makan meal yang mula2 tu, papa pun pegi anta balik this delicious looking fried Turkey fillet kat counter..

But, surprisingly and unexpectedly again, tokey nye datang kat kami with the meal and suruh makan je, tak perlu tambah ape2 bayaran, adooiii!! Siap tepuk bahu my hubby lagi, baik nye, and inilah nama nye rezeki.. This meal was worth 6.50euro bersamaan lebih kurang RM28 huhuhu.. walaupun ni benda kecik je, but ia tetap rezeki kan, and Allah bagi rezeki dalam pelbagai bentuk kan, even yg sekecil ni..

So, dapat la budak seksi ni makan fries dengan penuh gaya hahaha..

Syukur Alhamdulillah... :)

Recipe Of The Month.

Ok, seperti yang dijanjikan, ni resipi untuk banana cake with strawberry topping hentam kromo and memang sedap. Check the resipi out ok ;)

200g Tepung gandum.

130g gula (30g brown sugar, 100g gula castor)

1 sudu kecik baking powder.

4 biji telur

50g butter cair + 1 sudu besar minyak.

25ml susu segar.

200g pisang di lecek + 1 sudu besar Nutella

Campur semua bahan, gaul rata and bake!! 180 degree wuld be fine. So simple !

Dah masak, panas2 tu terus letak Strawberry, so strawberry tu cair sket and melekat elok atas cake and juice nye meresap ke dalam cake. Nice!

Strawberry Muffin (my favorite) :

2 Cups Wheat flour.

1 tsp baking powder.

1 Cup of sugar.

1/2 a Cup Chocolate Rice/ Chocolate chip.

2 eggs

1/3 Cup Vegetable oil.

1 Cup Milk

2 Cups Strawberry.

Blend strawberries with milk. Mix together this blended mixture with oil and eggs. Then, add in all dry ingredients. Mix well, then bake in muffin cups at 180 deg.

Yang ni pulak, projek beribu-ribu pancake hehe.. x de la sampai ribu2, cuma nye adunan nye lebih bnyk dr biasa. Rasenye ramai dah yg tau buat pancake ni kan, cuma nak share this tips kalau masih ade yg tak tau, yg pancake akan jadi lebih gebu, lembut and spongy kalau kuning and putih telur di asingkan. Putih telur dipukul high speed sampai foamy, then mix last skali ke dalm adunan dgn cara folding method. Then baru la di masak, api jugak mesti kuat, kalau perlahan, pancake tu tamo jadi cantik licin. Selamat mencuba!!

Ni pulak yang bakal ikut jejak la nih.. hehehe..

Tulips...

I'm not a huge fan of flowers, I won't have them around in my house, I would prefer something a little more abstract for a decoration. But,

Tulip is an exception.....

I've always adore Tulip ever since I was a lil girl...

They are just... Indescribably beautiful... tatau la kenape... memang suke tengok Tulip...

This one bought by Hubby la of course, I've never really told him that I love Tulips, but I guess he just knew.. macam ade telepathy la between us hahaha..

But seriously, it's true :)

Suke sangat Tulip, sampai pilih kain langsir pun bermotifkan Tulip hehehe...

So, next next Saturday, we are going to Keukenhof to see lots and lots of Tulips... hopefully we'll make it... really looking forward to this one trip ngeeeeeeee... :)

Oh Rotavirus...

As I was reading one of my friend's entry in her blog, Nuurill, regarding a Rotavirus, I felt compelled to write bout how I come to know this virus, how dangerous it is and how much I feared it!! huhuhu..

This virus first attack my family was in early 2007, when Afeef was only 2 years ++ old. Afeef memang la mangsa pertama, where he got it from at that time, I had no idea...

At the time, I stayed with my mak, abah, younger sister who was on a semester break and my elder sister who was working. Hubby stayed in Kuantan, coz I was still studying (in the middle of Final Year Project), so me and hubby stayed separately and therefore hubby wasn't around to witness it all...

The first symptom Afeef showed was vomiting, in the middle of the night... how bizarre, when I think of it, why symptoms of Rotavirus infections often occurs at night?

Anyway, He didn't have it bad, no fever, just vomiting and diarrhea. And since he didn't have any fever, doc said it was nothing serious.. but the worst part was 2 days after that... when Afeef had fully recovered (it took him only two days), the virus had somehow found its other host, me, my younger sister and my mother... Symptoms occurred for us all at about the same time. My mom had it a bit earlier perhaps because she's an old woman, but hers was really really bad, and me and my younger sister had it at bout midnight. All of us had it at the same time because we were the ones handling Afeef's poops and vomits. We had no idea bout this virus at the time so we didn't thoroughly washed our hands immediately after handling his poops and vomits.

Luckily, my elder sister wasn't affected, so she took us all to the hospital, where mom and me had to be admitted. Even when we were finally able to go home, we were all too weak to do anything, everyone just collapsed, and later, my elder sister was infected by the virus as well huhu..

That was the first incident, it didn't take long before the second one stikes, just a week before Afeef's third birthday, he had the virus in him again.. this time he had it really bad... he was down with high fever, severe vomiting and diarrhea, until he had to be put on a drip. That took him 1 whole week to have fully recovered, and I was about 7 months pregnant at the time, so just imagine how scared I was if I were to be infected again. I hardly even used my hands whenever I eat !!!

This is his 3rd birthday party, hehe nak celebrate jugak tuh !! hahaha, coz dah invite kawan2, so celebrate jugak walaupun Afeef x bermaya.. nampak tu, lemah, cengkung sangat..

After that terrible infection, I always took extra precaution, always made sure that he washed his hands thoroughly after every meal, I guess that helped a lot, we've had no encounter with the virus again until about a year ago..

This 3rd attack, I must say was the worst one !! It happened on the day when our flight was due to depart for Deutschland. I was almost 6 months pregnant with Aleena, and I was the 1st victim !!

It started very early in the morning, after Subuh and our flight was due to depart at 12pm midnight if I'm not mistaken.. I had severe diarrhea as well as vomiting until I had to be admitted, was extremely weak probably because I was pregnant..

While I was in the hospital room, I was quite sure that I was not gonna be able to come with hubby to Deutschland..

Surprisingly, after being put on a drip, at about 3pm, I felt much better though still weak. So, I told the doctor that I'm going home, that I had a flight to catch, and after arguing several times, the doctor gave in and let me go home... Fortunately, when I got home at about 6pm, everything was ready, hubby packed everything up, oh thank God, so all I had to do just gather myself together and get ready, though I felt like I badly need some sleep... I told myself that I culd sleep later inside the airplane (yeah rite...).

We flew with MAS, direct from Malaysia to Deutschland, 12 hours journey.

But, things don't always turned out the way we want them to be... ***sigh*** Everything was so smooth in the beginning, until at about 2 am in the morning when both kids had fallen asleep... Afeef suddenly threw up while asleep.. I felt a stab of fear, oh God!! please don't let that be anything serious, I wanted so much to believe that he threw up because of his 1st flight experience... but, what I feared so much happened... he kept vomiting, his clothes was all drenched with his own vomits, and it wasn't just that, Fatini started to get really restless too, and nak dukung je, and since I was pregnant, papa had to carry her around, and then things got worst when she started to puke on hubby's clothes... huhu the whole place smelled really really bad.. It didn't stop there, while Afeef was still weak and continue to puke, and Fatini was all restless and crying, papa's tummy suddenly started to flip, pulak dah... hubby pun muntah and diarrhea.. oh no, at that time, we still had 9 hours left before we were due to reach Frankfurt airport. 9 hours !!! What are we going to do ??!!! With Afeef being so sick, Fatini whining and papa was so dizzy still had to carry Fatini around.. How I felt at the time??? Helpless... that's the exact word to describe how I was feeling... I just prayed over and over again throughout the journey,

"Ya Allah, let everything be all right.."

"Don't let anything bad happen to my kids..."

All I did, I forced Afeef to drink as much as possible even though he'd vomited after every meal or drink, I didn't care, he had to !! That was the only way to keep him hydrated.. we still had hours of journey, and there were no doctors, clinics, drips etc etc.. We just had to rely on ourselves and Allah SWT.

It was such a huge relief when we finally reached Frankfurt airport, though we had left such a huge mess behind, and I felt sorry for whomever had to cleaned it up... huhu...

It was 6.30am in the morning, (Local time in Deutschland). The first thing we did was cleaned ourselves up, changed clothes, solat Subuh and continue our journey, a few train rides until finally we reached Kaiserslautern. Fuuuuhhhh... The supposedly awesome trip turned out to be a disaster.. Nevertheless, I thank God for everyone was ok, though Afeef was really weak, but he made it eventually. He did vomit a few more times, inside the train station, inside the train, but he was strong enough to make it.. the key is always always give your kids plenty of water whenever this happen.

Just last year, a friend of mine lost her 5 year old daughter because of Rotavirus infection. She wasn't around when her daughter suffered the symptoms, she had to work and left her daughter with the baby sitter, and no one wuld really care for your child like you and your family members wuld rite?

Rotavirus infection is so common among children, but yet, it is a life threatening disease and highly contagious. So, Beware !!
