Another lyssa entry

A pic from my SIL’s wedding last week. Same pic on my FB just thought I’d put it up here.

She was the designated flower girl. Along with her other cousin.

Pandai dia ikut instructions, jalan sikit… tabur bunga, jalan sikit… tabur bunga. Sikit pun tak segan silu, gentar, nervous etc… dengan orang ramai lagi. Senyum jer tak mau. Serious buat duty ;-p

Lepas selesai jer dia report to me “Lyssa tabur bunga mommy.”

Lepas tuu lapar… makan ayam tiga ketul sampai licin.

Kerja keras ;-)

—-> i notice my little lady just loves weddings!! she loves posing in front of a pelamin. i think that’s why she was smiling in this pic.

Lyssa Update

Yes. Lyssa is still breastfeeding.

Nights and whenever she asks.

Bila tanya dia cakap, “ada! ada! susu mommy ada lagi”

So far I’ve gone 2 years without ever buying a can of formula milk, not even as backup. (Pat on the back from me to me…  syukur sebab diberi rezeki menyusukan dia for this long).

(Tetiba teringat the episode masa dalam pantang where I “begged” my hubby to go and buy the formula cos I just plain tak larat and mengantuk and nak tido jer. So glad he didn’t cave.)

Now max is 2 x 6boxes of the uht chocolate/strawberry milk per week. Usually promo price can go as low as RM5.XX per 6boxes.

Harituu bagi dia try plain fresh milk. She likes it! (But it has to be in a cup that’s appealing to her (i.e. McDonalds tall glass or any Mickey cup… CUP not tumbler).

So she’s already at the so-called “graduating” age.

But I have to admit. I’m STILL not ready to let go of our special moments. (And also still not ready for sleepless nights training her not to comfort feed, refusing her the boobies and all the emotional rollercoaster that goes along with weaning).

Only when I’m ready enough for the both of us.

Mood swing

I’m PMS-ing.

Pagi tadi menangis pasal hubby kata harini pergi kerja asing2. Sigh.

I cry about the most trivial things when I’m PMS-ing.

How about you?

Tadi plak hubby call kata flight dah confirm. Ticket dah ada. 15 Dec.

Sigh.

Suka tapi sedih.

Boleh?

Lyssa's 2nd Birthday

Belum sempat nak update pasal Lyssa’s 2nd birthday. We tempah a mermaid cake from SugarPinkIcing and invited Emma&Shah from DeepBlueLense to take pictures.

Will definitely blog more about it later.

Luvssss…

Ringan rasanya

A huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders.

I feel free.

Nervous

Lama giler tak buat presentation sendiri.

Asyik tengok orang punya jer.

Sekarang rasa macam cuak pulak.

Tengah nak psycho diri to relax.

Bukannya carry marks pun. Just a formality.

But still…

Mengantuk

Slept at 4.

Buat kerja last minute punya pasal.

Padan muka diri sendiri.

Semua nak ke Middle East...

In addition to yesterday’s good news…

Dapat dua lagi berita gembira (?) semalam.

First. My parents yang on wait list nak ke Mekkah finally dapat confirmation dari TH semalam. Alhamdullillah. They have been on the edge, waiting and waiting and waiting. They’re so ready to go. They’ve prepared everything, just waiting for the call. Finally orang TH call semalam.

Second. My hubby’s flight also to the Middle East has been confirmed. (Though ini bukan untuk buat Haji). It’s work related. So come mid December I’ll have to learn to be independant for a while. Takut gak niii… I admit, I depend on my husband for a lot of things (even sampai terjeri2-jerit mintak hubby ambikkan tuala Lyssa lepas mandikan dia…hihihihi) so I don’t know how I’m going to handle being alone. My parents pun will still be in Saudi when hubby goes. But on the bright side (I’m trying to stay positive here), it’s only going to be for a few months. Sekarang nii tengah memikir nak packing barang apa untuk di bawa bersamanya…

***Nampaknya I’ll be in the same boat as you MN… hubby you Saudi di mana yer?

Results

Kakak dekat Pejabat Dekan bagitau external examiner sudah selesai mark my dissertation. (Internal examiner mmg dah lama selesai).

Tapi official result belum kuar cos diorang nak meeting dulu. 10 Nov.

Tapi dia cakap semua ok.

Apa maksud dia “semua ok”… wallahualam…

Semua ok lah kot ;-)

Kalau betul… syukur alhamdulillah…

Red Strappy Sandals

I saw a pair of really pretty RED strappys at CnK the other day.

Why is it when I WANT to go shoe shopping and have a specific item in mind, I almost always never get what I want (like when I wanted a nude color shoe for Raya but didn’t find one that I like or they didn’t have it in my size)…

…but when I go browsing with the intention to just window shop and not buy anything I always somehow find a shoe that I like???

So anyway, for someone who almost always wears her staple comfy brown shoes and trusty matching bag, buying a pair of red strappys which will only be worn once or twice is kind of a big deal… especially if it means RM100 out the window (which can be spent on other essential items, like my nightcream yang dah habis).

But the darn red strappys keeps popping in my head.

Pulak tuu ada event yang boleh pakai the shoes to, lagi lah terasa macam nak membeli…

Ishhhh…

“Pakai jer lah apa yang ada…”

On to a more cheery post...

She refused to take off her Barbie sunnies.

Bila bukak kan, dia bising.

And she didn’t let me take mine off either.

Kecut perut ku

Semalam pergi rumah my parents berdua jer dengan Lyssa.

She’s really getting used to the carseat now. No complaints. Especially when I’m driving alone with her.

Nak cerita pasal perjalanan nak balik ke rumah from my parents tuu.

We were almost close to reaching home.

Lyssa was holding a toy that she got from her Happy Meal. The action figure card holder thing.

Kat luar tuu dah gelap (it was around 7.30 i think).

And Lyssa as usual was chit chatting away, some made sense and some didn’t.

Then suddenly she giggled out loud and said, “orang tuu takde kepala…”

Terkejut jugak mommy nii (I memang pengecut sikit kalau kuar malam2 takde peneman).

So I tanya dia, “Ye ke Lyssa? Mana?”

Lyssa pun jawab, “Haaa… tuu!”

Then she pointed somewhere which I didn’t really look to see cos I was concentrating on driving (tapi sebenarnya perut dah kecut dahhh…).

So I just said to her “oooohhh… ok…”

Then terus cakap “Lyssaaa… jom kita doa…!”

Lepas tuu terus tak putus putus baca ayat kursi sampai rumah… Nasib baik dah dekat sangat.

Sampai rumah nak turun kereta pun kecut perut gak, kena call hubby suruh jemput anak dan isterinya di kereta…

Lepas niii kalau berdua dengan Lyssa jer memang confirm mesti sampai rumah sebelum gelap.
