Baby’s First Trip!

6 August, 2009 · Filed under family, Firsts, pictures, Tufeil, video

1st – 2nd Aug 09 – 4months old

We had a wedding invitation in Malacca and so we drove up in 2 cars.

First stop was Breakfast @ Singgah Selalu. Ok that was my first time experiencing their bfast. 3 tables worth of dishes. Help yourself to the rice and amount of dishes and they’ll bill you accordingly. Nice! What excited my hunger was the goreng pisang and the delicious smell of Baulu baking!

First time being in the car seat!

Thankfully, he wasn’t cranky being belted up in the car seat. In fact, i think he was enjoying the scene. So much so that he was lulled to sleep most of the time. Mornings are easier because he’s usually asleep anyways.

Second compulsory stop was at Machap Rest & Relax for ice cream @ Baskin Robin


“My mummy so naughty won’t let me have some. So now i hafta suck my thumb!”

Also used the Surau (prayer place) @ 11am to feed Tufeil and changed him there! Gasp!

At some point, Mummy took over as pilot. If baby was not on BM, i would have driven all the way! haha

First we went to the wedding. It rained in the morning and the ground was full of mud. So didn’t bring out the stroller but wore the carrier instead. It was quite diff for me to eat so mummy and i took turns. No pictures because my hand was quite full lah and place was quite… gray and shabby. Maybe it was the rain.


Emperor hotel. Again! Arghhhhhhhh
ok its only RM130 per night but the toilet is really horrible!
After some rest, we went to Tesco for dinner. After awhile, Tufeil needed changing and this is how their changing / nursing room typically looks:


Baby Changing Room cum cleaner’s store room?!?!
Can you tell me how m i suppose to lay down my baby on hard AND wet ceramic tiles???

Not just that, it was also stuffy. So much so that when it came to feeding Tufeil, i opted for the Surau rather than the BF room!

Oh my gosh oh my gosh! I did a lot of shopping! I Soooo didn’t intend to buy any clothes at all! I only allocated RM140 to spend and i blew it all (almost) on MY clothes. NOTHING for Tufeil. He has enough already. haha.

I was so beat by the time we reached the hotel room i shared with the maid. Er…. Can see that she was sooo happy to have this chance to “travel” and shop a bit with her S$50. So much so that she did all tasks with a smile and almost willingly. HAH. I even taught her to use the camera.

Even the grandma took a dip in the pool!

DAy 2


Checking out. Why m i smiling now that vacation is almost over?

First Stop: Masjid Selat Melaka (Straits of Malacca Mosque)

From the carpark.

You will first encounter the ablution / toilet / baby changing room. Yes ceramic counter but at least they provided some rubber placemat. But Thank God Tufeil didn’t need a change since we had only just left the hotel.

The mosque is practically on the water!

Ayah noted the Arab influenced architectural design on this mosque.

2nd stop: Dataran Pahlawan – more shopping!

First thing i saw was Factory Outlet Store and i charged RM127 to my Master debit card. For that amount i got 6 articles consisting of 2 work shirts, 2 pyjama pants, and 2 t-shirts. That’s a little under S$10 apiece!

Then we went to the Heritage centre to buy souvenirs mostly Food. HAHAHA

The epicentre. with a carving or whatever u call it depicting the original Dataran.

From here, we took the beca (3-wheeled bicycle) to Equatorial hotel where the guys parked the car. It’s actually RM10 per vehicle to circle the town for prolly 30min. But we only took a 5min ride for RM5 cos we were quite pressed for time.

My plain ride. Shared with Ayah.

Then it gets better.

and this is the Best Colourful Ride!
After that, we went back to the bride & Groom’s place to personally meet the hosts again.

Tufeil meets Tok Long Janggut. hehe
Hey Tufeil, Watcha doin’ mah boy?

Oops! Ok you caught me. I’m learning to drive!

Then we went to YB’s (Yang Berhormat or The Honorary) house to visit the Great Grandma.
3months old Kalif & 4months old Tufeil

Also to meet Tufeil’s friend. The last time we visited in Jan, both of them were still in the tummy!

We left their place at 9pm!!!! Reached Singapore a little bit after midnight.

My Nice Weekend

23 July, 2009 · Filed under dates, fashion, money, Tufeil, video

19th July 09 (3.5months old)
Took the train to Marina Square. Towards the end of the ride, he got hungry and had to be carried to soothe his crying.
By the time i reached a vacant nursing room after 4 occupied ones, he had already fallen asleep. Furthermore, he kept smiling and smiling while drinking milk. He got VERY distracted by the foreign decor of the room that he’s never seen before.
After the mandatory Popiah, we went in search of Tufeil’s clothes and bought 2 bodysuits and 2 pants + 1 towel = $70. Z’s treat! Yayyyy
We saw that mobile animal rides. And Adults are sooooooo allowed on these rides!!! Z, seeing the childish side in me, actually suggested we take it. And we did. 3 times! One wasn’t enough for me esp cos we got off a slow start preparing the camera. So two for me and Z cldnt resist to take one himself.

$2 per ride.

I checked out Maternity Exchange… They have a lot of nursing top options, even long sleeved one. Now that i’ve bought a pair of “sleeves”, i can wear short sleeved with it. Another alternative is a cardigan with a sleeveless dress.

Its rental rate is 4pcs @ $129 thereabout. Rental period is 4 weeks and u can rent up to 2 items at a time. There were several that i liked but somehow i hesitated. And Tufeil was also cranky, so i made my excuses.

In the end, i decided NOT to waste my money since i’ve just bought 2 nursing tops from Perfect Mum. (The gal was so nice, she suggested to send back to the tailor to put on long sleeves at only $5 for both!) And bcos, the only time i’d really need to wear a nursing top is at weekends when i go out w Tufeil which is like prolly 8days a month, out of which, i also have many other “normal” clothes option.

And to think that the week leading to that day, i was almost hyperventilating with excitement waiting to have a look-see.

Tufeil was already asleep. We took the chance to have tea and Choc ice blended and MONSTER Cookie at Starbucks. Z’s treat too. $15?

The best part of all was shopping at John Little. I have $100 shopping voucher from our D&D lucky draw. The deeper you went in, the more things you see… OUtside was just cosmetics and toiletries which i was sooo not interested. Then i saw bags and shoes. I picked 2 and a pair respectively. After that was the GLORIOUS Baby section!!! hahahah its really just normal but i had FREE money to spend was the nicest thought of all!

So from this section, i bought:

  1. 2boxes of Avent Breasts pads (3pairs) @ $20 each
  2. A Colourful Flexible teether toy $12
  3. Teats for my Avent Cups but realised that i need the white screw top which i cldnt find.
  4. Life Buoy refill hand wash

Moreover, NTUC members get a further $5 discount for every $40. The kind sales assistant even calculated and separated my bill to $55 each so i could enjoy $10 off on top of my $100 voucher. I paid just $25 extra for my purchases.

Only, sadly, cldnt get the brand of diapers and wet tissues that i want =( But Gosh it was fun. Because i truly shopped unhibittedly (is there such a word?) while T & Z did their father & Son thing. Otherwise, i would constantly worry if the stroller is in other pple’s way, if my son would get bored, if he’s hungry or whatever whatever.

With all those bags, we took a cab home.

Tufeil’s First Rollover

10 July, 2009 · Filed under Firsts, Tufeil, video

15th Jun 09 – Just about 3months old

So i read tt we shld let the baby rest on his tummy to promote his motor skills and i did. Generally he doesn’t have a problem lying on his tummy. In fact, he sleeps sounder in that position.

However, this is his first time being on tummy while wide awake (Altho his Titi – short for Aunty Siti aka Ash was fast asleep!).

Right after i clicked STOP on my hp, he ROLLED OVER!

So i didnt actually get to capture the moment on video… but i got to see thru my own eyes and not the camera’s.

To date, he has only done it twice on his own accord. Other times, i rolled for him and he regurgitated afterwards so i stopped! haha

Tufeil & Syifaa’

1 July, 2009 · Filed under pictures, syifaa', Tufeil, video

Is there such a thing as Cousins’ rivalry? hehe

As much as Syifaa’ loves Tufeil, i’m beginning to see that she fears her place as the pampered grandchild is somewhat wobbly. I can assure her its not tho. Her Nenek loves her a lot. Too much.

Here are Tufeil & Syifaa’ moments i’d like to share

She loves to hold the baby

Back when Syifaa’ was still using the dummy/dummies.


Note the heigh difference back when Tufeil was 6weeks old i think.


2months old now and a lot bigger for Syifaa’ to handle


Sayanggg Adik…

Two caterpillars in their coccoons. LOL

Both in blue. Tufeil @ 3months.

Me: Bcos it is the song on an advertisement for ghee.

Z: Really?! (Laughing cos we were using ghee fo rthe omelette)

Me: Yeah! Laila Ghee!!

Ikonz’s Video – Raastey

22 July, 2008 · Filed under music, Pakistan, video, Xubi

I must say this video is SUPERBly professionally done! The kid is Shumaim, their youngest bro. The vocalist is Shaji . And i GUARANTEE you will SWOON when you see Shumail (eldest) at his guitar. Not good for your health to fall head over heels for him though. He’s a heartbreaker but super kind and appropriate to guests.

The 3rd guitarist is Giant. Behind the drums is Asad, their cousin.

Zubair cldn’t sleep after seeing this music video for sheer … regret? of not being in it after a lot of hardwork he’s put in for the song itself. He WAS being called to come to Pak to film this video but of cos it was toooooooooo expensive for us.

I suppose i can understand his pain. But im all too relieved actually that he’s not in it. Who knows what some pathetic girls will do to my husband upon seeing it? Already there’s one who just can’t stop clinging to him. and its not me.
