When I cook something, it means that it is really easy to make. As in super duper easy no need recipe pun. I'm just posting about it here to remind myself of this and maybe give people out there an idea for minum petang... So basically you just need hot dogs, cheese slices, bread, egg, and oil (to fry). Just like making roti gulung sardin, penyekkan the bread with a rolling pin, or I've read up somewhere that you can use a glass. Anything, asalkan boleh penyekkan roti tu. And then layer the cheese slice on top of the bread. Bread, cheese slice, and hot dog. Kalau nak berjual, hot dog tu belah dua, untung lebih sikit kan (sarcasm disitu).... Roll them all up, dip it into the egg, and fry it. I use a flat frying pan, kuali leper, bukan kuali melengkung tu. Fry it with the end down first so that the roll tak terburai. Oh because I fry it in a flat pan, the roll tak tenggelam habis so turn it over now and then to make sure the whole roll is fried evenly. Api not so high to a...

I felt a bit down after shopping (for a while) just now. Talked to Iz about it. Why does it seemed now that I cannot spend money on myself? When I went shopping, all I bought are things for Sofia, Iz, the center, and my mum. I could have just buy a lipstick ke apa... But no, I didn't. Instead, I bought things for the house like an ironing board cover, socks for Iz, well you know, stuffs like that. But nothing for me. And when I got home and found out I didn't buy myself anything, I feel down. It was as if I have lost myself. I forgot about me. Diri sendiri lupakan diri sendiri. Oh, the new shoes that I just bought? Honestly, my mum forced me into it. She wouldn't leave the mall until I get myself a new pair of shoes, and yes, she paid for it. Iz said it is a good thing. That I'm slowly being selfless. I've started thinking about other people. And that I'm turning into a matured, responsible adult who think of others beforehand. Iz is the eld...

But I woke her up. Sofia was sleeping in her pink hammock so calmly and I was just sitting on the sofa in front of her with my phone when suddenly it rains. Raining cats and dogs. Hujan lebat sangat.  I was thinking seronoknya kalau dapat tidur. Hujan-hujan sejuk-sejuk ni dapat tidur. I looked at Sofia sleeping soundly in her hammock. Kan best kalau dapat menempel dengan Sofia hujan-hujan ni.  I could have blogged or lipat kain or kemas rumah basuh pinggan and all. You know, all the house chores we can do when the baby is sleeping. But no I just don't feel like it. As for going online; updating the blog, Facebook pages, or Instagram, cannot also as my phone was almost out of battery. Looking again at Sofia sleeping in her buai. I kind of wished she merengek a bit so I can pick her up. But no she didn't. Still sleeping so soundly eventhough hujan lebat guruh and all. So I purposely didn't swing the buai. Enjut pun tak. The buai hang there so still. Stati...

Finally. I cleared up my phone. Praying hard I wouldn't forget my Google account password.

I was waiting for Iz outside the market while carrying Sofia in my arms when I saw a Chinese lady carrying her son. About 1 year old, I guess. But big enough to walk on his own because she carried him in one hand while the other carrying his shoes.  I smiled at her and she smiled back. Why did I smile in the first place? I'm not so sure why... Maybe because I feel like we were in the same situation; carrying a kid. She smiled back and came to me.  "Eh you know ada satu kain ni macam baju you boleh masukkan dia. Macam kangaroo pouch tu" And we kept on talking around that topic. How her arms hurt as a result of always carrying her son like me until the extent of having to go urut, and that the pain stays until about one year. Honestly, though I acted cool carrying Sofia, truth is, my arms really hurt. Iz and I was just planning to get one; based on past experience, tayar stroller tersangkut-sangkut di Toys "R" Us. Anyhow, my main point here is not a...

It was so tiring! Tiring for me, not Sofia, I guess. The next day she still had the energy to try rolling over some more... As for me, I had headache and stomach ache and a whole bundle of laundry to do. Never going on an impromptu trip as far as that ever again! Last Sunday morning, mum suddenly decided we should just go visit my Nenek Mah all the way in Hospital Sg. Petani there and then. I received a call the night before informing that she had been admitted to the ICU. I informed mum only the next morning. The plan was actually for mum to go by bus with my aunt on Monday but mum insisted we go that exact moment since we were all available because Iz works on Monday and I'll be left with the baby alone (but in the end Iz took a leave anyway). Managing our own business, we cancelled all classes on that day. I just told Sofia the night before that we wouldn't be going jalan-jalan anywhere today because mama got a lot of things to do. Wanted to clean the house that day...

Sofia rolled over! On Tuesday, 6th December 2016. And I get to witness and record it all! Alhamdulillah... At first mum told me that Sofia held on to her finger to turn herself, but didn't manage to roll over. Later on Sofia did it again and managed to roll over! I was there watching and recording every moment. Awh... Such a proud moment! Mum said she was the one who initiated the rolling; because Sofia held on to her finger first, but deep inside I'd like to take the credit because before this I was the one who taught her to turn on her side by holding my finger. Hahahah... Nak jugak... She tried about three to four times; once holding my finger, the rest holding mum's. She wouldn't rest until she got it! Mum said, "Selagi tak dapat selagi tu dia cuba" . And I remembered those exact words came from her when she saw me practicing the frontcrawl arm drills while having a kickboard selit between my legs. Sofia's starting to show my traits... Eve...

Last Wednesday, Sofia turned 4 months! We brought her to the Arena Warehouse Sale in Petaling Jaya. Iz carried her on his chest the whole time... Hahaha. 

Two trips to Toys "R" Us in one week! I even signed up for a Members Card. Take all my money, Sofia. Take all my money... We went to Toys "R" Us again last Saturday. Just because during the previous time I forgot to bring a voucher that I received from the hospital where I gave birth to Sofia. But the thing is, voucher or no voucher, during that last time, we still get Sofia a toy. Only difference is, with the voucher, we can get a more expensive one. Hahaha. 30% off Fisher-Price products. I've been meaning to get Sofia this one particular play gym that I saw in the Fisher-Price baby guide booklet. Such good marketing strategy, this Fisher-Price people. Anyway, dah ada diskaun... Why not? The voucher is valid til end of December, so I kind of pushed Iz to take us both there. Going to IOI City Mall the second time, this time with a stroller; easy on my hands but not very convenient in Toys "R" Us. The alley is narrow and the wheels keep...
