The best pavlova

Berry Pavlova from Serai is the best pavlova I've ever eaten! Went to Empire only for it! ~_~ Ok, actually nak tengok2 Empire jugak cos tak pernah pergi. The pavlova costs RM15.70 but since I was craving for it so beli jugak. Kalau convert dengan pavlova from Michel's Patisserie kat Adelaide harga $4 so it will be around that price so ok la kan.;p The size is bigger so rasa berbaloi la jugak. Wanna try Alexis next time!

Hijab Event 2013

This is my 2nd time (my 1st time pon tak update!~_~) attending event organized by We Are Beautiful Allah Loves Us. Alhamdulillah, I managed to go since I'm still in Malaysia! Last week I attended other event called I'm Sinning & I Know It at Masjid Bulat PJ (go check out my sister's blog for more info about it) so jumpa Wardina 2x in a week until she can recognize me!

Some other celebrities attended the event too; Ana Raffali (did i spell her name right? lantaklah malas nak Google.;p) & Sharifah Aleya.

 Abaya from Abaya Makkahwalmadinah, 

bought during New Year sale so I managed to grab it at half price; normal price is RM190 (ridiculous price!)

.unforgettable moment.

Dessert.Ok, rainbow cake bought at Bisou, not from the event.

Good sharing from a sister who attended the event. Read here.

Kek durian superb!

Since now musim durian tiba2 craving for durian cake pulak. Ahah, since when pulak suka sangat durian ntah. Masa pregnant, pernah teringin durian but since durian mahal kat Adelaide & husband dislikes durian so minum Chatime durian jela to satisfy my cravings.;p Yes, ada Chatime durian kat Adelaide tapi kat Msia non ada.:(

Found this cake from blog Diah & since makcik yang buat durian ni duduk dekat je from my parents' house, she stays at Taman Melati so I decided to give it a try.

The owner is so kind, tak minta deposit pon for the cake & I decided to pick it up on Saturday sebab masa tu ramai orang kat rumah so ramai yang tolong habiskan the whole cake!:)

 RM45, 1.2KG

For me sangat SEDAPPP rasa pure durian sangat& keknya lembutt but my sis & her husband kata muak!Heh. Alia my youngest sis pulak kerja nak amik krimm je.Erk.Ok, interested to try pls visit Ayla Dania's Cakes!

Preparation for solid food

30 Nov Fedora dah genap 6 months but I started to give her solid food right after sampai Msia (8Dec) since I was quite worried if Fedora ada allergic apa2 or sembelit so susah nanti if nak naik flight dia sakit ke apa kan. Besides, I ordered blender kat Msia cos kat Aussie blender yg nak ni mahal dlm 99dollar (RM300). Bought mine via online at RM175++.Sampai2 Msia je blender ni dah ada. Actually, tak kisah pon nak guna blender apa untuk baby asalkan asing daripada blender yg kita guna hari2 kat dapur but since I'm addicted to Avent so nak cari Avent jugak.

Avent Mini Blender. 

Sama dengan blender wife Tomok.Eh apahal.Nampak sangat stalk IG wife dia.Kih3.;P

At this moment belum frozenkan lagi semua food yang dibuat since everyday pagi2 bangun rajin buat dlm 2-3 portion untuk sehari makan so I store all the food dalam Avent VIA cup je yang dapat sekali masa beli blender. Besides, I want to ensure freshness & flavor but maybe dah start busy sangat2 nanti memang frozenkan jela. My doctor kat Adelaide cakap better bagi baby homemade daripada beli siap instant baby food untuk elakkan baby jadi fussy. Contoh if baby dia instant cereal pisang maybe dia tak nak makan homemade banana puree (lecek2 je pisang kan..) since baby tu dah kenal banana flavour. And.. of course preparing food for baby with love lagi bagus.

Made with love. Carrot+brocolli+potato. 

I bet Fedora really loves it because she can finish up to 3 cups in a day!

4 Day Rule tak ikut sangat since tengok Fedora ok je alhamdulillah. Takde allergic & poo poo still everyday & ok. And ouh, you can find many interesting recipes here! Rasa semangat nak try semua.;p Credit to famous Annabel Karmel!

High chair kat Fullhouse. Feeding chair at this moment guna Bumbo seat je.:)

Takaful for baby

Sebelum balik Msia lagi dah start fikir mana nak simpan duit for Fedora (esp duit yg orang bagi kat dia) & ended up ambil PruBSN takaful since husband's friend, Aizat memang buat full time job jual takaful & I think PruBSN takaful is among the best takaful in Msia. Another reason ambil sebab kawan husband kan so anything happen nanti senang nak refer kat siapa. He's Aussie graduate jugak but now kerja jual takaful je katanya sebab malas nak kerja lab.

Selain hospital benefit in case anything happen to my baby sepanjang balik Msia, actually I wanna save more for my baby so focus takaful more to savings. Every month memang automatically deduct from my account berapa nak save for my baby kan so takde alasan nak mengelat2 contoh bulan ni nak simpan $200 , next month nak simpan $150 je another month banyak shopping so tak nak simpan plak lah..;p Haa.that's too bad kan. Honestly that's what I did masa pregnant konon nak simpan AUD200 for Fedora sampai lahir pastu macam eh tak payahlah nak shopping maybe next time la simpan.Lol. And yes, banyak lagi benefit lain takaful ni.:)

 Got free diary/notebook & calendar. 

& yes free Secret Recipe too!(Rugi tak order macam2.Ahahah) Aizat & her wife belanja.

"I'm a happy baby.By age 20, I can study abroad or get married.!"(Insya-allah)Teehee.

Bantal comel

I hate all cartoon characters kalau nak beli baju baby but Elmo & Hello Kitty is an exception. (Ok, gift pon exception jugak sebab dah orang bagi haruslah sukaa..) So that's why la baju Fedora kalau tak plain,animal print, stripes, lace, polka dot. And kebetulan found out yg my friend Yanie buat bisnes online bantal comel & ternampak Hello Kitty so terus terasa nak beli.;p Kenal Yanie from my friend Wani since Yanie added me kat FB & tak pernah jumpa in reality pon sampai la masa nak pick up bantal.:D

Fedora memang takde bantal since kat Aussie memang takde jual bantal for baby cos orang Aussie fikir having a pillow tu tak baik untuk baby since it may harm the baby (takut lemas etc) but I can't resist this cute pillow!

My sis kata kalau memakcik melawat Fedora tanya nama & then susah sangat nak sebut nama dia, show them this pillow.Lol.

Hello Malaysia

Alhamdulillah, we have safely arrived Malaysia yesterday. Phew, the journey was VERY challenging but we met many helpful and kind people everywhere who always wanted to offer help. Tak kira agama, bangsa mahupun warna kulit.Hee.

I never knew that we have to make a special request for bassinet in Air Asia flight! Sebab masa booking online takde tanya pon nak bassinet ke tak so I thought dah bayar extra for infant means kita akan dapat bassinet. So gila tak nak pegang je baby sepanjang 8 hours journey? Ok, ada orang lain in the same fight yang buat macam tu but I don't know la whether she knows about the bassinet or not, nak save $$$ ke apa.

So masa masuk flight I asked the stewardess about the bassinet and she felt sorry for me (selalunya stewardess I jumpa semua muka ketat cam malas layan, ngan foreigner kemain macam manisnyaaa;p)  & very helpful carikan 1 row yang kosong (flight penuh btw) so that I can have more space to put my baby on the seat.

She slept for 7hours! Very good girl!:')

Another stewardess namanya Azlizawati (wow ingat nama.;p) pulak really love to treat Fedora sebab katanya dia ada baby girl 7 months. I was like "Wah..sanggup tinggal baby nak fly jauh2 & dah slim melim youuu." Sentap sendiri still belum slim lagi.;p

Ok, some tips that I wanna share:
- Doa banyak2 minta Allah mudahkan perjalanan kita, doa baby kita sihat2 je & semoga Allah temukan kita dengan orang2 yg baik.:)
- You know when your baby will normally sleeps longer so kalau boleh book la tiket ikut waktu tidur dia.Like my baby, she always sleeps longer at night so I booked night ticket la.
- Pls ensure ada bassinet!
- If you need to travel alone, jangan segan2 minta tolong orang kalau rasa susah.Use your mouth!
- Masa flight ready to take off & nak landing, bf or feed your baby so baby tak bingit telinga ke apa. My baby alhamdulillah tak nangis during that time.:)
- Bring iPad etc to entertain your baby kalau baby bangun.
- Kalau baby meragam jugak after all things have done, bersabar jela & tebalkan muka ye.Hiks. Tula cabaran as a parent. Orang sekeliling insya-allah faham & if diorang tak faham tu maybe diorang takde anak or terlupa yg diorang pon dulu baby jugak!After all, that's the importance of applying tips no 1!
