Syarat2 menerima award ini:

1. Pastikan jantina anda ialah perempuan
Sudah semestinya…

2. Copy badge sebagai award and
Dah

3. Nyata 7 sebab kenapa anda bangga menjadi perempuan
7 sebab yer..mari kita fikirkan…UmmiSalsabeel dah listkan dari sudut agama, saya rasa nak listkan dari sudut duniawi

1) Ladies first…kita akan didahulukan

2) Tak kasi kite buat keja berat2… tambahan lagi ketika peknen

3) Leh pakai baju/fesyen macam2..kalau lelaki, balik2 seluar, t-shirt kemeja..corak pun stereotype je..

4) Kita leh tocang rambut pakai sepit/cekak bermacam2 gaya..lelaki mana leh? Buleh la kalau yang geng rambut panjang tu tapi depa tak gamak kot pakai cekak reben kaler pink

5) Kasut..utk perempuan bermacam2 pilihan..tapi lelaki, ada 6 inch heel ? hehehhe

6) Lelaki lunch break lama ari Jumaat utk solat, tapi perempuan pun lama jugak break walau tak solat.. dan p shopping (utk gomen la, macam saya takde)

7) Tak kira lelaki ke perempuan ke tend to say ‘mak ooi”, “aduh mak” “opocot mak kau’. Ada tak sebut “aduh ayah” bila terjatuh ke sakit ke..? heheh



Pikir2kan… and silalah menambah apa yang patut

Breastfeeding with Abundance Mentality

BF-Breastfeed/Breastfeeding
FM- Formula Milk
BM- Breast Milk

When I decided to exclusive BF Shukrina and continue to BF her until 2 years, BF is among the topic that always been chatted among our family and friend. I feel like one kind of satisfaction ( do not read as ‘riyak’) when I can talked about BF and is a way for me in promoting BF to people around me .I would say there are some who seconded me and some were pessimist . Maybe to BF the baby without FM is somehow is new environment to some of them. Even to myself. I just got to know about BF and the whole concept /practice when I delivered Shukrina to be exact after my confinement

I’m not alone facing all these people that come with their own thinking . My husband also sometimes drag into this issue. Luckily he able to counter even he is not 100% equipped with BF knowledge .

Fortunately, I did not receive very harsh comment like some other BF mommies. As far as they concern is not about why 100% BM , why bother to go an pump 3x/day , why so stingy to buy FM BUT more to how long I can achieve it. Is kind of competition between me and them/their wives. As I draw a line at 2 years , they keep asking either me or my husband . “Dok menyusu lagi ka”, “ Dah campoq susu tin ka”. “ Susu ada lagi noo”. Oho..I am not competing with anybody. Is just my personal goal.

The person that asked the question is somehow is not exclusively BF and the baby has wean before 1 year old because of some reasons such “susu dah kering” , “ p kursus 3 hari, balik anak takmau dah” , “ ni anak dah no.3, susu kurang compare masa anak 1st

I even received a challenge .
“Saya nak tengok Dayah nak BF sampai anak no. berapa. Nanti anak seterusnya mesti tak buleh nak 100% sbb experience saya anak 1st banyak mai anak ke-4 dah tak banyak”- dalam nada yang bukan encouraging but mencabar and to make me down

Hei, suka hati saya la nak BF sampai anak no berapa ka sampai bila ka ..? ( kata hati saya sudah mau mengamuk tapi berjaya cool ). But I accept it positively and take up the challenge.

Sometimes I argue back ( read as "debate in good manner") but sometime I just let it go..no point of arguing

We can’t predict our next BF journey as we never know the future. We might not know for instant if we will be on medication that disable us from BF our next baby. What we can do now is to ‘pasang niat’ to xclusively BF all our children and to appeal to Allah may He give us an ease journey and rezki ( abundance of BM ).

What is the motive behind the question ? I am thinking that they might be :

1) jealous as I can BF up to date, while they can’t – because they know the benefits of BF

2) OR I got myself into trouble with pumping gear,pumping rountine, baby ‘bergayut sampai tak buleh buat apa” while they are 'free'

3) OR they just think I’m too ambitious and don’t think I will achieve it because they prove that they can’t

4) OR they just wait for me to say “ Saya dah tak menyusu Shukrina sbb susu kering OR “ Saya dah tak larat.bagi botol lagi senang".

5) OR they just want to motivate me to carry on , Go Dayah Go..
( ni ayat utk bersangka baik, tetapi kenapa ia berada di point terakhir ??)

BF is not competition.Who achieve 2 years is the winner, while less than that is looser. But if some people still treat is a competition , it should be a healthy competition .We don't want scarcity mentality but what we want is abundance mentality. People with an abundance mentality believe there are enough resources available to accomplish their goals. They also believe that their success doesn't mean failure for others. On the contrary, the more successful they are, the more others are affected in a positive way.

We would like to encourage everybody to BF as long as they can. We don’t look down to mother that can’t BF but we are lending a hand to help and share our experience &knowledge

Set your goal, gain knowledge and go for it. For those who meet the target, congratulations! I know is not a’ bed of roses ‘ journey. I admit that I have no guarantee to 100% supplying Shukrina with BM until she is 2 years as I have no more stock in my fridge and my pumping output today is for Shukrina tomorrow’s input .Everyday comes with hard work to pump and doa. But I do hope that able to BF her until 2 years.

This is a lesson to learn. I started with zero stock after confinement and rapidly build it up.You can read my experience here. Alhamdulillah Shukrina is consuming ummi’s milk until today.I should be prepared early (stocks) for my 2nd baby. Thank you to all SI members that really encourage and motivate me.

Happy Labors Day

A very quick entry

Just wanna wish to all labors..." Selamat Hari Buruh"...
Adakah anda buruh yang produktif ??

Regardless you are manager, engineers, even janitor, everybody is 'buruh'. That is why we observe this as our public holiday...

But I think ' buruh' term is only use for 1 May., other than that, buruh is always for people who is at low level and doing very hard work like 'buruh binaan'.. Bila mai nak cuti, mengaku la buruh, tapi waktu lain.."Hei, I am a boss you know"

Are you going mad if I call you 'buruh' too ? Well I am one of the 'buruh' Hehehe

Ada sesapa guna minyak cap Buruh? Femes tau minyak ni sebelum ada Vesawit and Seri Murni..

P/S : I will be away balik kampung this 3 days...see u all on next week.

Mama , I miss U

16 September 1982
Kau dianugerahkan darjah kebesaran yang membawa gelaran "MAMA".
Tatkala kau bertempur sama ada hidupmu sebaagai muslimah atau matimu sebagai syahidah..Bukan kerana Gelaran itu
Gelaran yang aku mula kenal setelah beberapa purnama menjengah dunia
Mana mungkin aku mengilustrasi kisah yang hampir 19 tahun yang lalu
tetapi Kau ibarat penglipulara tatkala membicarakan zaman kecilku
Walau kesat tanganmu tidak membesarkanku sepenuhnya kerana keluar mencari rezeki
Siapa jua anak itu, dia tetap anak ibunya

Mama,
Aku mengerti kenapa kami dilarikan
Kau ingin kami keluar dari bayangan warisan
Menjadi abid yang soleh yang mendoakan mama & papa
Kami mula mengatur langkah, seribu gaya
membuktikan pada mereka,kami adalah mutiara yang tidak ternilai
Semakain digilap, semakain terserlah kilauannya bak neon di jalanan
Semakin sengit maya mencabar realiti, begitu jualah mehnah dan tribulasai yang Kau tempuhi
Percayalah Mama
Percaya pada Nusrah al-Wahab, percaya pada insan bernama suami
JUga kehadiran Taufik dan Hidayah di sisi..

This poem was written by me in 2000 to join one competition organized by HELWA of MPP ( Hal Ehwal Wanita – Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar ) ocnjunction with Mother's Day Celebration . I participated for fun because I knew that I have no skill in writing poem .

I never bother what is the prize would be as I have no confident in writing poem. As mentioned, just for fun, I submitted and forgot about it until I received a call saying that I won the 1st prize. The committee help to remind me on the poem contest that I’ve joined. I was bit surprised. Menang..tak sangka pulak.. Sempat tanya, siapa yang judge ni.The judges were Expert from our Pusat Bahasa .

A day later the 3 winners were called to receive a short briefing on the prize giving ceremony. One of the committee told me that lucky I was the winner. Why ? because their 1st prize besides a bouquet of flower, trophy, hamper from brand of ubat2 traditional ( I forgot the manufacturer), all kind of balm ( balm gamat, balm serai, minyak angin, minyak panas etc), a parker pen and my poem is nicely framed – The organizer would sponsored the winner’s mother come to the ceremony regardless from where she is ( even Sabah&Sarawak). So by having me as the winner, they save hundreds ringgit allocated for MAS ticket in case the winner is from West Malaysia ( I stayed nearby-but still over the sea la). The organizer also excited to know who is the winner after received from Pusat Bahasa judges and of course the judges did not know from where the contestants were . (They don’t bother actually )

1st runner up goes to a friend of mine , Nik Khartina from School of Mass Comm. She was one of journalist for our campus bulletin and was a journalist with Dewan Kosmik ( her 1st job after grad) and now I lost her contact. Not sure whether still with Kosmik or not. Tina’s mother also was sponsored to come all the way from Kelantan on the prize giving event. And definitely I salute her writing and love ‘em so much. I used to read her writing in her blog .

On the day, my mom was invited by the committee from home( before come they enjoyed chocolate cake baked by mama and mama prepared ahead a big container of cakes for the committee ). I was invited to recite my poem ( malu siot masa tu, mana pernah dok deklamasi depan orang) and my mom was invited to the stage to receive souvenir and flower too.

Mama loved this poem very much and to her surprise that I can write this.If you read this, may sounds ‘apa punya poem ni’ but to both me and mama the meaning of the poem is more than words can say.


Why I write this entry. 30 April was my mama’s birthday and she is not here to celebrate it. I believe humans will write/say all the good things about our beloved mom.I can write if I want here but is not the message I want to convey in this entry. I think I will have at least another 20 years to live and repeatedly thank her and express how wonderful she is to me but she left me when I was 25. Some people, even lost their mom when they were small.

Dear friend,go and say it to your mother before is too late..

You never know how jealous I am looking at you still having a person to call mama and share your beauty & sorrow of your life with her.

But I do really hope that each of good thing I do and doa' dedicated for her will be accepted by Allah

I better stop here as my tears are running down heavily .

I miss mama so much

Al-fatihah
