The Big Bad Wolf!


Last Saturday, we ols pegi the Big Bad Wolf Book Fair. It was a last minute planned actually. My sis pon nak ikut gak sebab dia nk pegi wedding her fren. So, we dropped her at Nilai area first then we went directly to MIECC. The traffic was really bad plus raining made it worst!

Before pegi the BBW, we went to The Mines for lunch and some shopping at Uniqlo. Seriously, so many people there sampai lunch pon kene queue up. Memang menduga kesabaran la kan.



While waiting for our food, duofie la apa lagi kan. This lil boy ni penat acah dia kata dh x amek dah baru dia nak pandang and senyum. If not, dia pandang tempat lain and buat2 macho. Gerammmm!!!


After lunch and shopping, zasss to the BBW. Memang la ramai orang kan. Sampai we ols angkat stroller naik tangga la. Nak tunggu lif memang berzaman je la kan. Sempat je snap picture kat entrance BBW ni while waiting for daddy.

Nothing much la. Byk buku yang sama kt most of the tables there. We did not our books. Beli buku Ayser je la. Habis beratus gak la kan untuk dia sorang. Nk kene spend time lama nk belek2 cari2 buku. Memang x la kan. Ayser dah x bole duduk diam dalam stroller nak keluar. Orang ramai memang le the very tak bole la kan nk lepaskan dia.

By 5.30pm, we ols terus cabut la x sanggup dah nk meredah lautan manusia. Dengan nak mengadap traffic jam lagi kan. Terus ke Nilai nak fetch my sis back. Then, terus balik Melaka.


So, these are the books that we managed to buy for Ayser. Pakai grab aje la kan. Nk tengok betol2 satu2 no time. Hopefully, he will read all the books la kan. :)

Bandung Trip Day 5


We check out from hotel very early around 6.30am after had breakfast to go to Jakarta. We had a special invitation from Indonesia Ministry of Education for early lunch. That's why we needed to go early plus to avoid the traffic jam.

Alhamdulillah the journey went well. There was no traffic jam. Thus, we reached at the restaurant early. Around 9.30am! How to lunch if like that and they have not prepared the food yet.



We had the invitation at Restaurant Pulau Dua. The place was very nice! Something different. I think sure this is the expensive restaurant. FYI, our lunch is sponsored by Indonesian Government. :D

Thru the area for eating, there was a bridge and a fish pond. The place was warm and cozy! I did not take so many pictures. So sad! But we managed snap some photos at the bridge and the pond.




See Ayser with his sunglasses! He said hot! And he wanted to wear the sunglasses. Haha. Funny.

We were entertained by their performers while waiting for the food. Then, the food arrived. Buffet style. Very delicious. Something different from our normal meal throughout the trip.

After lunch, we went to Tambrin City for our last minute shopping before departure. But, we did not shop by the way. No mood for shopping anymore. Hehe.



Then, we went straight to airport for checking-in. It took quite some time actually the process that's why we needed to be early.

After settled, we went for solat and waited at the waiting area because the flight delayed.


While waiting, snapped pictures. These kids were really happy when taking pictures. Ayser joined them and still maintained the machoness. Haha. He would not look at me. Grrrr.



Around 6.45, we boarded and departed. We arrived around 9.30pm Malaysia time and took a bus back to Melaka. We reached Melaka around 2.30am. Ouhhh what a day. We were super duper tired! 

Anyway, that's the end of our Bandung Trip story. We'll be going for umrah this Friday. Now packing in the process.

Enjoice~~





Bandung Trip Day 4


The first plan for day 4 was to go to Cipaduyut Leather House and in the afternoon Trans Studio / Pasar Baru. But, they changed the plan last minute. I was down with food poisoning and fever. Thus, i could not join them. I even could not get up from the bed. That bad!

The night before i kept on vomiting. Tried eating after that vomited back. Urghhh....The same things happened also in the morning. My fever kept on and off. I just slept and had full rest. I thought we would not managed to buy anything at Pasar Baru.

Around 1pm, i felt more energy but still dizzy. I just took shower, solat and got ready. Took medicines and off we went to Pasar Baru ourselves by taxi. Unfortunately, Ayser's water bottle left in the taxi. We had to find new one before another trip.


First, we went to buy all the things that were ordered by my sis and my mom. Ohh, i forgot one thing, my sis ordered 'pisang salai'. I totally forgot. Pity her. After settled theirs, we went to find 'kain ela' for hubby and Ayser 'baju melayu'. 

Then, suddenly my mom asked to buy for the whole family! So, we bought 'kain ela' for 'baju melayu' only for 22 meters! Super heavy. Then, mom ordered some cotton cloths for her Jubah. And i bought 'kain ela' for my 'baju kurung'.

We still brought our small hand luggage. But, this time cannot fit anymore because too many things! Haha. After settled everything which was 5pm on the dot, we quickly went back to hotel by taxi. The trafiic jam is super crazy!

After that, we joined back the group for dinner. But, still i did not have the appetite. I just tasted the tomyam and some rice then i had to sit outside because i could not stand the smell.

Then, we went back to hotel for packing time! We needed to leave early the next day to Jakarta to avoid traffic jam. Ohhh....what a day. Alhamdulillah, i slowly recovered. :)


Bandung Trip Day 3

Our day 3 began with a trip to Mount Tangkuban Parahu. It's a volcano actually. We had to went out early because the journey took about 2 hours and had to avoid the rain. IT's raining season now!

Hubby was down with fever since day 2 but he recovered fast after took some medicines.


Hubby and the lil boy duofie before the journey. The journey was quite long because of the traffic and also bus took longer time right. In the bus, the tour guide told a tale story about the Mount Tangkuban Parahu. The story was quite long until i fell asleep and i did not managed to listen till the end of the story.

During the journey, some of them already felt dizzy and nausea and vomited because of the road is like a snake!

Once we reached at the bus parking area, we needed to take a van to the top. We had to be careful with 'belerang' smell. People with respiratory problems might face problems with the smell.

As we reached the top, the smell was not really bad. We walked around the volcano crater.This volcano crater is the largest crater called 'Kawah Ratu'. There is small crated at the other side but we did not go there.


We took our photo on our own actually. There were so many street sellers that followed you. I was so irritated actually because we cannot spend time on our own. There was a seller that followed us all the time. He offered to take picture for us but i did not dare to give our handphone to him! So scary ok!

The pictures took usng hubby's handphone because my handphone was full already. Dang! I had to clear up the memory.

After that, we went down to the bus parking area and went to the hotspring. Sorry, cant remember the name agan.


Triofie! Haha. The pool at the back is 30 Degree Celcius! There were other pools that is hotter but we did not go further.


Triofie again while this lil boy is happy! 


Mommy and Ayser duofie while waiting for daddy to take off shoes for feet soaking.


I did not join hubby because too lazy. Haha. Then, we went back to the bas parking area which was qute far. Luckily, we managed to reach at the bus on time because it was raining after that! Heavy rain! Like i said raining season.

After that, we had our lunch. This is where i got my food poisoning. On the way back i started felt dizzy and nausea and uneasy. I took medicines but i still felt uneasy. We did not go back to the hotel yet. 

We went to De Arum Manis outlet for shopping session. I just bought sleep pants only and had no mood for shopping. Then, we went to Rumah Mode for shopping session. There were lotsa things to shop but i just had no mood and uneasy. I bought another sleep pants. Hubby bought sleep pants too. And Ayser 'pow'ed us a car!

Then, we quickly went back to the restaurant where the bas parked there. I did not take the dinner because i lose appetite at all. It was Nasi Padang cuisine and not my liking. So, i just ordered orange juice.  Before that, i had vomited already. So, my food poisoning started! With fever........

That's the end of our day 3...


Bandung Trip Day 2

Salam and good day uols.


For the 2nd day, the first plan was to go to Tangkuban Parahu. But, later they changed the plan because of the hostel issue so we had to pack our bag again to move to hotel.

Before that, we has our breakfast at Promenade Hotel. This hotel is quite nice. Unfortunately, we couldnt stay here because fully booked already. So, we had to stay at other hotel.


See happy faces! It's very hard to snap his picture when he's smiling. Luckily, i managed to snap one.


While waiting for others, snapped another picture. Then, we went back to the hostel to pack our bag. 

The plan changed to shopping at Pasar Baru! We were given approx. 4 hours for shopping.


This lil boy before threw his tantrum. Yes, we did not shop that day because Ayser was not in his mood. He cried out loud! We went to the surau and i bfed him and he fell asleep.

Then, hubby carried him while he was sleeping. We went to buy simcard for our phone. Suddenly, he woke up and continued crying out loud.

I was so exhausted! We went back to the shop that our group were there. I bfed him again and it was very hard to bfed him n public with his tantrums. Urghhh. Finally, i managed to bfeed him and after that he get back to normal and played with other kids. Pheww!! What a relief. But, we went back with empty bag! Yes, we brought a hand luggage to put our haul inside the bag for easy carrying.

Around 12.30pm, we had to gather and had lunch. Then, we went to the hotel to check-in. We had our rest and around 4pm we had to gather again for another shopping session!

We went to Ci-Walk or Jalan Cihampelas i think. I cant remember the name. The were so many outlets along the road. We just walked around at the new outlet.


Anddd he found this! Had to give him to play for a while. Else, mommy and daddy could not shopping :D. After that, we walked along the road and finally stopped at one outlet. We managed to buy a few things. Hehe. But not so many la. I bought a colored jeans and hubby bought a jeans too. That's for today. Hihi.


Around 6.30pm, we had to gather again for our dinner! Sundanes cuisine again. The food was quite nice. Then, as usual we ordered Alpokat Juice! We really love the juice. Here the price was very cheap compared to Malaysia. 

Previously, i did on my own the juice but quite messy so i stopped making the juice.


Finally, we went back to hotel for rest. Fuhhh! finish my day 2. Day 3 coming up!!!!!

Enjoice~


Bandung Trip Day 1


Assalamualaikum and good day u ols. Sorry for taking some time to update about out Bandung Trip. I was quite busy with preparation and packing for the next trip. Or more likely to be our ibadah.

Ok, on early December to be exact, 6 December 2013, we went for Bandung Trip. Our flight was at 9.10am so we had to depart from Melaka super early at 3.30am! I didnt sleep at all because risau kan terlajak tido and lambat. Dah siap terus pegi hubby's office berkumpul naik bas and zass to KLIA.

We reached KLIA around 5.30am and prepared for checking-in. Meanwhile waiting, we went for Subuh prayer and had a lil breakfast.


Ayser and i waiting for our food! Kelaparan ok. Pepagi buta x tido lagi memang la perut berkeroncong aje. Our flight shud be 9.10am but delayed till 10am i think. Lupe dah. Time tu ngn they changed Gate without proper notice. So, kelam kabut la jd nye. Awal2 kaki dah sakit sebab kene jalan jauh and patah balik. Adoiiyaiiii!

Then, we didnt get the front row seat plak tu. Kesempitan since i have to pangku  Ayser for 2 hours! He was sleeping all the time on the flight. Lega sebab dia xde la cranky but i was super tired cos had to hold him.

We arrived at Jakarta airport around 12pm and took a bus to Bandung. The traffic was quite heavy. It took around 4 hrs to reach Bandung. Pheww what a journey! I'm not sure why they chose to Jakarta instead of direct to Bandung. Maybe the tickect fares cheaper i think.

On the way to Bandung, we stopped at the RnR for our lunch! Makan nasi padang. Honestly, i'm not a fan of nasi padang. So makan pon sikit je la. I prefer Sunda more. I cant remember the restaurant name. Actually, i forgot all restaurants name we went for the whole trip! :D


Sorry, dah habis makan baru teringat nak snap picture. The food biasa biasa only. Nothing to fancy about.

Then, we continued our journey to Bandung. We arrived safely around 4pm and directly to the hostel provided. Yessss, hostel not hotel yek. We did not managed to go to Pasar Baru that day because of the heavy traffic caused us to reach Bandung late. After checking-in, we had some rest in the room and prepared for our dinner plak.

Around 6.30pm, we went out for dinner. 6.30pm in Bandung equals to 7.30pm Malaysia. They are late an hour from Malaysia. For dinner, we had Sundanese cuisine. The food here was nice ! I love the tempe cili padi. There's in the picture. Very crispy and spicy!


This lil boy was very hungry and he started eating first! haha. After dinner, we went back to the hostel and had rest for tomorrow. I was super tired plus i didnt sleep the whole night before. Thus, i terus pengsan once everything dah settle.

We continue the next day in the next entry ya!

Happy Monday!

Post Bandung Trip


Assalamualaikum and good day u ols...

We're still in holiday mood plus sick condition. Later i'll update the Bandung story.

In the meantime, we have to unpack all clothes and other things and packing again for the next trip. Whoaa...what a tiring things!

Anyway, any of u are going to the BBW?


We are not sure whether to go or not. Still considering :D


Happy Monday and Happy Working!

Baby School: Dd Is For Dinosaur!


Nov 2013 Week 4 (25 Nov - 30 Nov)

By this time, we are already in Bandung for hubby's company trip. I had scheduled my post for today and this week we wont be having our activity. Have to postpone next week if i have enough energy and time to prepare because we will coming back on late Saturday.


This week, we continued with letter Dd. I have changed the printables using different source. I referred from this blog:  3Dinosaurs. Other than that, i also referred to thig blog: Little Tiger Growing Up for the sensory bin/box/tub inspiration.

Note: This is a quite long post!


Letter of the Week = Dd

Object of the Week = Dinosaur

Colour of the Week = Orange

Vocabulary Development Theme of the Week = Shapes


This time, i did not manage to snap a picture of letter Dd because i had no time to prepare them properly. I was quite busy packing and preparing for our Bandung trip.

For Tot Trays, i maintained as last week's Tot Trays. Ayser was very happy playing with all the items of all trays until he tore the sandpaper letters. I might re-do the sandpaper letters using cardstock material or might laminate them before glue the letters on the card.



For this week, i added new activity which is sensory bin/box/tub inspired by Little Tiger Growing Up . It consists of: 

1. dinosaurs figurines
2. some green pom-poms with small bowl for transfering and some green pipe cleaners
3. miniature trees which i took from my mom's and the salad became a tree
4. a green cloth which look like i dont know how to describe but quite rough for the sensory part
5. square and rectangular pieces foam and plain papers and a few of rocks

Note:
- Make sure items are not too small to prevent choking

This is for sensory development which teaches rough & smooth, big & small, heavy& light, and some fun!!


When i prepared this tub, Ayser was watching me. He was very excited when the tub was ready. He played immediately and i didnt manage to snap pictures. He played and messing around the room with all the items. I'll be leaving this tub for quite some time until i have other ideas. Haha.



This time, my sister who is currently on semester break helped me with Aser's activities. The printables were different for the week. Ayser was doing tracing the lines. After that, he scribbled and scribbled.



Still continued with tracing the lines but this not a straight lines. Different angle. He still did not used to trace lines properly.



When he got bored, he asked to got off from his chair. Then, we continued with his favourite activity. Sorting shapes!



After that, we continued with Dot the Letter. Since we still do not have the proper dot marker, we used stickers instead! We showed how to stick the sticker on the dot to him. He followed after that. Ayser was very excited doing this activity. Every time he sticked, he would yeay after that. See his happy face.



This is the final outcome after he sticked. He did 2 sets of letter. Oh by the way, my fren also did this activity to her children.



Then, we continued with Dinosaurs stickers activity. I just took the numbering sheet asked him to stick on the paper.



This time, tracing the shapes. Quite challenging for him and he just scribbled after we guided him.



Other than that, we also did our reading session, puzzles, lacing activity but i did not take any pictures. For the next letter, i'm not sure when we'll be doing it. Maybe this month we have to take a rest or if i manage to prepare next week we have time to do it because end of the month also we'll be out stationed.

Ok, we want to enjoy our Bandung Trip and entries for this week will be lesser. See whether we can get the internet connection.

Enjoice~~!!

DIY Buttoning Board & Zipping Board


Salam and good day u ols.

Time flies so fast. It's already the last month of 2013! So many things this month. Tomorrow we'll be going for hubby's company trip to Bandung. We've have packed our bag already. 

Oh by the way, my latest DIY project, i got the idea from Rock A Bye ButterflyBut, i modified and added some other things in my own version. This is one of the montessori method for practical life. Other than that, this activity helps for fine motor skills development.

Materials needed are:

1) Buttons
2) Zip
3) Velcro
4) Felt
5) Polystyrene board
6) Sewing kit



You can just sew the buttons on the felt and glue the felt on the polystyrene board while the other cloths or felt just cut according to shapes and cut in the middle to make the button hole. That simple. But, i asked my cousin's help to sew them properly so that the cloths will not tear later.


For the zip, you need to attach cloths together with the zip and sew it on the felt. For velcro, just sew on the felt and attach together. Finally, attach or glue on the polystyrene board for easy usage.


I made 2 different boards so that i have more activities and easy for my son to do his activity. So, this is the final product. The zip & velcro board. Ayser was very excited doing this activity.


And my buttoning board. You can do in different shapes and different sizes of buttons. Ayser also was very excited seeing this board but quite challenging for him to button back the cloth/felt.

Very very big thank you to my cousin, Ain for helping me to finish this DIY project. Else, it will take tons of days to finish it.

Happy Monday and happy DIY-ing!
