A pregnant pause...my wish list

INTRODUCING BABY K...

I'm on my 16th weeks of my 2nd pregnancy...not like my first one, this time around the wishlist banyak mommy yang punya...reason:

1) If baby girl : khaleesya's hand me down stuff..some of the dress she only wear it once or twice

2) If baby boy : Riaz's (my nephew) hand me down...save jugak

3) All basic necessity dah beli time Khaleesya, so just get a few new stuff for baby
4) Cloth diaper : way a lot..since both Khaleesya's and Baby K's can share (save lagi!!)
5) 2nd carseat for Khaleesya, as Baby K will use her current baby carseat later..plus she also dah boring seat rear facing (asyik tgk kusyen keta je dgn tgk pokok dan tiang lampu)..
6) Do i need 2nd stroller..??naahhhh...i don't need..as we have Ergo SSC to carry Khaleesya, perhaps i should get one ring slings or wraps for baby K. will talk about babywearing and its benefit on my next entry ok..

So what is mommy's wish list?

1) Medela Freestyle : previously i'm using both Medela Swing and Harmony, i wanted to letgo my Swing and upgrade to ever drooling FS..keeping my Harmony, berguna kalo nak cepat pam heheh..i've tried FS before, the suction power terbaekk..harga buleh tahan laa...from testimonil i read, their production increase using FS..wallahualam

2) Upright Deep Freezer : this time around i'm not gonna repeat my previous mistake..i start simpan EBM sebulan sebelum masuk kerja and end up my EBM stock always x cukup, i'm sorry Khaleesya..at that time mommy not well educate on this yet. So kali ni i will start pumping for EBM insyallah 4th day of confinement...so haruslah kalo maternity leave tu 3 bulan dan dikurniakan rezeki EBM yg banyak oleh Allah SWT, mau menjerit freezer mak nak sumbat EBM baby K esok..and kalau di izinkan, i want khaleesya back to my BM..

Don't you feel motivated to fully breastfeed by seeing this (Credit : nolizaothman@blogspot.com)

3) Ipad : uhuhu...syoknya...imagine bosan-bosan kat labor room bley bertani FV..ya rabbi mampukah dalam sakit2 tu, during labor pain khaleesya pun rasa mcm nak tercabut railing katil hospital..heheh...

Wish list tak banyak, tapi 3 bende ni harga dia...ermm...well Hubby dear, for our next anniversary you can choose to buy me either item no 1 or item no 3..no 2 takpe mommy leh beli sendiri sebab cheaper..(tounge out!).

Lets get it start again..

Its been months and months of silence...being a fulltime working mom (FTWM), a wife and a mother to a 10 months Khaleesya require me to being away from this blog. Of course i miss blogging especially when i blog walking..perhaps its time to start it again..but this time around the content may differ from my previous entry...yeah typical being a mother of course most of the entry will always about my lil bundle of joy..i will try to share my experience in cloth diapering (which i fond most...go green!!), breastfeeding (even tho i'm no longer breastfeed my Khaleesya, why not to share and exchange experience about it...anyway i'm expecting 2nd Baby by 2012 ..YES...2nd !!), baby wearing (i just started to get head over toe on this too!!! i wish i have more $$ to get nicer SSC, Wraps, Ringslings), on natural parenting (i'm in learning process..i really admire Farah of Sarakids http://www.sarakids.com/blog/farah on her practice in Natural Parenting, she is my mentor!!!) of course about whats going on in my daily life...insyaallah i will try to update when time permits..

Khaleesya will turns 1 next September..of course 1st Birthday always about the parents being excited not the child herself...yes i'm excited and i'm the party planner for it...EVERYTHING is made by Mommy!! Its not being cheapskate but i prefer when people says "hey u make this??!!" [BIG GRIN]. Since her bithday falls of 5th of hari raya...we have yet to decide when is the exact day to do it and venue...having it outside like McD (which i dont really keen) sounds typical, it would only applicable when she is old enuff to understand the meaning of birthday party. Maybe since it falls on Raya Mood...2 in 1 events would be nice a birthday party cum open house for family and some friends...since i have save a lot on her other birthday knicks knacks, we might spend it for caterers.. can't wait..

My Khaleesya

Candy Bar i've made for Riaz's 1st Birthday (Khaleesya's Cousin)

I'm blessed to see my darling grew up..she's smart (all mothers will says this right), lil miss chatterbox (inherit from me indeed..at 11 months she manage to say few like Allahuakhbar quite fluent, amin..), pretty much active baby..with her cheeky smile, she always make my day..

And for hubby...thank you for always be there..being a friend, husband and father you did great. I love you sayang..we might not that rich, we don't posses expensive cars/stuff...but having us together the most expensive thing in this universe.

Finally i have time to update...after being silent for more than a year yet so many stories to share with everyone...will find time to update more soon...

Something to think about...

Its been such a long time i'm in a paused from blogging...i was bored..having my coffee @ TGIF wangsa maju (yes they just open new outlet in Wangsa Walk)...which has been my hang out place lately...and suddenly something popped out from my mind...

Well in your life, you meet people...Some you never think about again. Some...you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do… especially if that person is special to you.

And to think about special person...people say if you love someone tell them while you still have a chance cause you will never know when your chance is over, so take that chance and tell that person I love you, not because you can but because you really love them….

I think it’s true… sometimes you just have to take the risk… and sometimes you just have to follow your heart… after all, love is always open arms… if you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself...

A place filled with family and friends.

My 1st ever cheesecake!

Hahaha....hujan lebat tak kat umah you ols kelmarin? First time i bake cheese cake..New York style lagi okehhh...actually idea datang last Sunday, i was in AEON Bukit Tinggi Klang with Ray..ada carik barang sket pastu lepak la kat Secret Recipe...lunch, pastu tetiba ada lak mat saleh ni dok usha2 aku dgn ray..sonyum2 lak tuh! bila dah abis makan tetiba lak ada sundae budak waiter hantar...dia kata mat saleh meja ujung tu belanja..wakakakka....sampai cair aiskrim tu...dan mat saleh tu pun berlalu dengan jiwa hampa sbb aku dgn ray x layan..wakakaka....tah camner tgh2 lepak tu teringin lak nak buat cheese cake, then log internet cari la resipi..so yesterday buat la cheese cake New York Style lagi okehhh...

Ni antara bahan2 yang diperlukan untuk buat cheese cake..good for 9 inch (23cm) pan, lagi cantik kalo guna springpan...ala yg leh edjast tuh..

New York Cheese Cake

Crust (base untuk kek)
2 cawan (200 gm) biskut Digestive dihancurkan
1/4 cawan (50 gm) gula
1/2 cawan (114 gm) butter, unsalted..dicairkan dulu

Filling
32 oz (1kg) cream cheese philadelphia, keep at room temperature
(actually nak letak 750gm pun boley, so tak la muak sgt nak makan)
1 cawan (200gm) gula
3 sudu besar (35gm) tepung serbaguna
5 biji telur - room temperature
1/3 cawan (80 ml) heavy whipping cream
1 sudu besar kulit lemon (parut yg luar jer)
1 sudu kecik vanilla

Step 1
Campurkan biskut digestive yang dah dihancurkan dgn gula dan butter yang dah cair tu...gaulkan, tgk gambar di bawah

Pastu masukkan ke dalam pan, rata kan dengan tekan sampai padat..nak cun guna glass bottom mcm di bawah ni, then masukkan ke dalam peti ais bagi sejuk, cover crust tu dgn cling wrap to maintain the moist..

Step 2

Masukkan cream cheese tu dengan gula dan tepung, guna medium speed untuk mixed all the item dalam 2 atau 3 minit, pastu masukkan telur satu persatu, then masukkan whipped cream dengan kulit limau, nak sedap sket masukkan 2 sudu besar lemon juice (ni resipi aku sendiri) dan juga 2 sudu besar tepung kastad, kasik kaler kuning cantiks sket!

Cantik tak mixer baru kiter...hahaha...nak tau citer? dah siap2 barang nak mix..cari mixer tak jumpa..rupanya mak aku dah export g umah kakak aku! nak tak nak g la beli mixer baru...lepas ni tiap2 minggu weh buat kek yerr...

Bila dah sebati, keluarkan pan yang ada crust dari peti sejuk then apa lagi...kasi taruk la err...springform pan ni pun bau kedai lagi...hehehe...

Yang paling penting....PREHEAT OVEN dalam 350 degree F (177 degrees C), dalam 15 - 20 minit! Maknanya time you ols tgh bancuh2 tuh..stat preheat la oven tuh...then masukkan pan dan bakar selama 15 minit, lepas 15 minit lower the temperature ke 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) selama 1 1/2 jam, sambil2 tu check la tengah dia samada dah masak ker belum..caranya, guna la lidi dan cucuk ke dalam kek...bila tarik bersih takder cheese melekat maknanya dah masak......

Keluarkan dari oven dan biar sejuk, bila dah sejuk masukkan ke dalam peti ais untuk 4 jam (lebih kurang arr...) jangan lupa balut dengan cling wrap untuk maintain moisture...kering x sodap! and VOILAAA!!!!

Ini lah hasilnya....saya sedia menerima tempahan..wakakakakak!!! so kawan2 bila mau buat weekend cooking class???
