Baby Shower katenyerrr....


I never experience baby shower celebration while I was pregnant to my first born, Miqael..3 years ago! Hahahhaa....

But before that...I did my own research on the ritual to have 'baby shower'... Actually, Baby Shower as a term is relatively new, but the celebrations and rituals associated with pregnancy and childbirth are both ancient, traditional & enduring you know! In Malay custom, we call it as ' adat melenggang perut', but in differently practice where it is a  custom done on a 7 months pregnant lady and it aims to position the baby in the stomach in its proper place, which is the head at the door of the womb. And also it is being conducted with a very traditional way with have own equipment and steps (hahha...this one I found from Wiki:):

  • 7 pieces of different colors of cloth
  • 1 bushel of rice
  • 1 coconuts
  • Some thread veins
  • A trunk resin
  • A little coconut oil/ massage oil
  • Some candles
  • Etc...
All the exercises I believe will be conducted by Mak Bidan.... and to incorporate with the Islamic practice, this ceremony will be done with bacaan doa selamat or perhaps kenduri ...etc...

Hahahhaa....but in my case, I don't really experienced my baby shower to be very complicated and traditionally done as above.... I just want to have chill and chat time with friends and families maybe! It's more on get together session la.... where you can share stories and snap pics of course! In short, my baby shower's idea was contemporary way where you can get together with friends and there shouldn't be any set rule to this! It's just makan makan...laughing....chatting & release stress :)



So...the idea was...hahhaha... It's was spontaneous outing! I told Mitchel & Izzat (both are my best buddies) that this time pregnancy I feel to throw my own baby shower party. They laughed..and they suggested that we could go outing at KLCC . Since Famy was out station, so I agreed to join them outing on weekend time. The plan was watching movie & lepaking at Ben's Place KLCC. Hahahha... guess what movie that I watched? Hansel & Gretel!!!!!! Horror sgt tgk witches die.... But I just tutupkan mata bila babak horror tu!

Movie that we watched!

Session chill, chat & laugh... ops... Mitchy & Izzat gave surprise gift! A cute soft toy bear :)

Ignore my new nose & cheek! Hahhaha.. this is 8 months pregnancy ya!



Overall I was happy on that day! It's made my day......

Late post for 2012's sayonara... Welcome 2013!

Finally I can write my 2013 resolution with peace of mind..

Ops before that let's sum the story happened in 2012.  (though it was already a bit late kot!)
2012 for me was a moderate year..... and I may conclude that was not the best year of achievements except to know that I was expecting to a second baby... LOL! Alhamdulillah...
Yes, I did my mind recharging when I brought ibu,ayah, adik & angah to have mini get-together family session at Pangkor Island. Plus, family trip with in laws at Langkawi and I managed to fulfill my dream to do snorkeling at Pulau Payar (since I was never been there after many many many times visit to Langkawi)... Both were great trips!
And not to forget my dream to organize special birthday party for Miqael at McDonald. Fuhhh....
Other than that, were just happy moments get together with friends i.e. bachelorette Izzah's party, lunch time with Gya & Ennie , get together session with Izzat & Mitchel & camping trip to National Park! Cool...
Overall, that were not so much interesting story to tell... but yes Alhamdulillah to God , still lend me His air to breath and feel joy in life....

I said to myself.. whatever bad things need to be removed and improved. I wish I can be better person after this.... better muslim, wife, mummy, daughter, sister, worker and friend..... :)

And as I reflecting my 2012 flashback memories..... I don't have any specific resolution to achieve in 2013. Yang mana tak achieve2 in 2012 pun banyak... Well, I will continue to put extra efforts to reach the miss-achieving goals from the past years! Further Master.. Europe trip.... Saving RM500K.. Buy Microwave +Oven  for me to bake....and many more...

For me just go with the flow.... blend it with the exciting activities to make it more flavorful and meaningful life...... The most important thing, maintaining the happy go lucky energy in myself...so that I will feel young forever.... and... I wish to get 45kg weight after get deliver my second baby! Wuhuuu........ Huhuhuhuhu.....
