Humairah & Wean Off

Cerita Daycare

Bulan ni dah masuk 3 bulan Humairah ke daycare.
Masih teringat entry Humairah & daycare tentang hari-hari awal ke daycare.
Waktu keje pun ingat anak jgak.

Alhamdulillah dalam masa sebulan ke daycare dh nampak perubahan.
Humairah dah paham dia kena pg school sbb mama & papa work.
Mula-mula tu mmg tak brape nak kuat bila tengok anak menangis meronta bila ke daycare.
Doa tak putus2 minta Allah permudahkan urusan Humairah ke daycare.
Now dah jadi routine harian Humairah. Dia pun dh manja2 dengan kakak2 kat situ.
Alhamdulillah daycare memberi kerjasama yg baik.
Terima Kasih tolong jagakan Humairah yer :)

Tip : Bila hantar anak ke daycare, lepas kiss muah muah terus keluar pg keje. Jgn dok lama2 kat situ.

Takut Makan Ubat....

Humairah baru masuk bilik doctor dh nangis. riuh klinik kerana cikmerah ni.
Lepas ni kna minak doctor tu pakai topeng mickey mouse kot.

Humairah plak mmg takut makan ubat. Kna berperang nak makan ubat.
Kat rumah kna ade 2-3 org utk tlg bagi Humairah makan ubat.
Tapi kat daycare elok jer pun. Bukak mulut terus makan ubat.
Lepas ni kalo demam hantar daycare bg makan ubat.

Wean Off

Alhamdulillah wean off pada usia Humairah 2 tahun 2 Bulan.
Tiada drama sgt dalam proses wean off ni.
Lepas je hubby balik dr outstation. Tanpa dirancang tetiba rasa nak jalankan projek wean off.
Kalo dulu nak tido mmg kna bergantung pada mama. Now pandai golek2 and tido sendiri.

Cara wean off sy, cakap dengan humairah kita punyer cik B tu sakit & ade sos.
Pastu sy tdo, hubby yg layan humairah. Dalam 2 malam dia dah tak mintak.
Akibatnya humairah tak nak makan sos! haha.
Tapikan...kekadang tu dia dtg jgak raba2 kat kita.
Rindu agaknya....yerla 2 tahun memerap dgn mama.

Syukur Alhamdulillah...walaupun penat & kekadang tu hilang sabar.
Allah sentiasa ade bersama kita. Dugaan membesarkan anak.
Semua mak ayah akan lalui perkara yg sama.
Cuma tahap dugaan itu berlainan kan...
Insyallah...doa utk anak-anak yg terbaik.

Planning to start potty training. Bila nak start ni???
April pun tiba ni............

In Vacation : Hong Kong,

HK #5 : Sham Shui Po : A Crafter’s Paradise

HK Day 1 : Airport - Novotel Hotel - Sham Shui Po - Ladies Market
HK Day 2 : Hong Kong Disneyland (nanti share cerita bawa cik merah ke disneyland) - Sim Sha Shui
HK Day 3 : Sham Shui Po again!

Continue cerita Sham Shui Po (Part 1)
Hari ke-3 di HK, pujuk husband utk repeat ke Sham Shui Po selepas keterujuaan sy melihat lace border & craft item kat situ.
Kalo ikut kan hari ke-3 sepatutnya kami menyeberang naik feri ke Hong Kong Island.
Tapi disebabkan tak puas explore Sham Shui Po pada hari pertama, sy pujuk hubby utk repeat once again!

Street kat situ semuanya bertema. Ade button street, ribbon street, bead street. Toy street pun ade mmg sepanjang jalan tu jual mainan jer la. Kalo korg minat craft mmg kat sini la tempatnya. Memang rambang mata. Rasa nak nangis pun ader tgk semuanya!

“Bead Street”, “Button Street”, “Ribbon Street” (crafts and more)

Bead Street : Yu Chau Street which has the most bead shops is the 100-200 block.

Buttons Street : Ki Lung Street

Ribbon Street : Nam Cheong Street is full of ribbon rolls stacked row upon row, in every colour, shape and size imaginable.

Fabric Sellers : Wong Chuk Street

“Fashion Street” – Cheung Sha Wan Road
In the heart of Sham Shui Po lies “Fashion Street,” a collection of wholesale fashion outlet stores, many of which also sell retail. Shop after shop of the trendiest clothing is on sale here and young girls in particular will be interested in the styles. Bear in mind though that these stores are mostly for grown-up women. However, older girls will find something to fit them in the smaller sizes. Most of the shops are located on Cheung Sha Wan Road between Yen Chow Street and Wong Chuk Street.

“Toy Street” – Fuk Wing Street
This “street” is only one block long but it is a great place to buy toys and other fun kiddie items such as erasers, pens, notebooks, gift bags, stuffed toys, mini games, whistles, balls, stickers, etc. If you are a planning a kid’s birthday party, this makes for great one-stop shopping and it’s extremely inexpensive as well, especially if you are buying in bulk.

Sepanjang jalan sy tgk sample of fabrics ni. Mana tak giler meroyan aku. Segala corak & pattern ader. Tapi sebab dah rambang mata. Sy balik tanpa membeli seurat benang pun! Sebenarnya kna beli minumum 5 yard. Balik umah bila cerita kat mak, mak kata lebih kurg la nak wat baju sepasang 5 yard tu. Org dulu2 jer yg guna yard. Org skrg yerla guna meter. Nak menyesal pun tak berguna.

1 Yard = 0.9144 Meter

5 Yard = 4.572 Meter

Lagipun diorg tu mcm tak layan jer bila aku tengok2. Kebanyakkan utk wholesale agaknya. Masalah bahasa pun satu hal jgak. Last skali husband aku cakap melayu jer. Aku mmg dh gelak2 bila sorg cakap china, sorg ckp melayu.

Sy ade baca tentang cara pembelian fabric di sini, kita just amik sample kain yg kita minta. And cakap nak berapa yard, diorg akan pg amik. Sampai arini sgt terkilan tak dapat beli. huhu.

Fabrics di jalanan....

Felt Fabric

Border lace turut menjadi kegilaan. Rambang mata. segala corak & pattern ader. Harga sgt murah.Sy plak jenis suka tgk2 & jalan2 dulu baru beli. Last skali hubby kata beli jer kalo dh nak. Nasib dptla beli jgak walaupun tak banyak. Ukuran guna yard...

Ade jgak border lace ni jual di tepi2 jalan2. auntie tu sgt peramah even tak pandai berbahasa inggeris. Rasa terkilan jgak bila mak kata apesal skit nyer ko beli? huhu.

Lepas tgk lace....jalan plak ke ribbon street! rasa nak jerit bila tgk colourful ribbon sepanjang jalan. Segala pattern & size ade. Rasa nak borong 1 kedai. Tapi sebenarnya dalam hati ini sy pikir jgak, nak wat ape plakkan? tapi nak beli jgak sebab comel2 semuanya. Nasibla boleh beli ckit2.

Cukupla setakat itu walaupun bead street & button street tak jumpa. Hubby dah start tanya bila nak abis. Singgah di sebuah kedai yg ade jual2 mcm2 barang craft. Suka sgt kedai ni. Tak borong byk pun, tapi cukupla memuaskan kehendak diri. Alhamdulillah....

Selepas dh rasa puas hati walaupun dalam hati kalo bleh nak round lagi. Round and round lalu kat “Fashion Street” – Cheung Sha Wan Road. Tapi wholesale only. Kalo tgk baju kat sepanjang jalan ni semuanya ade di butik2 kat kl and online boutique, rupanya amik kat sini agaknya. mmg bajunyer lawa2 especially utk yg fashionista bolehla borong kat sini. Rasanya harga jauh lebih murah.

Lepas tu sesaje tgk barang computer plak di Golden Computer Arcade. Jual barang computer mcm kat pasar malam jer. Yg teruja colourful tu. Sgt murah! Pendrive pun murah. cuma quality blom tahu lagi sejauh mana...

Golden Computer Arcade and Golden Shopping Centre

The kids are going to love this place! This arcade is filled with shops that specialize in the sale of software, hardware, and all manner of accessories related to computers. This is a hot spot for local ‘techies’ and the prices are very competitive. Bargaining is a must and make sure to check out all the goods you are considering buying to be sure that they are exactly the make you are looking for. Be aware – pirated software, though illegal in Hong Kong, is still sold in some stores. This shoppingplaza is located at the crossroads of Fuk Wa Street and Kweilin Street.

Jalan2 menuju ke MTR station jumpa plak street mcm pasar malam ni. Kat HK mmg byk street mcm ni rasanya. So far kat sini murah ckit. Lupa nama street ni ape. Kna pandai menawar la kat sini. Barang2 nyer pun ade yg berquality. Kna pandai tgkla kan. Ade jgak peniaga yg berlagak, kalo kita tawar2 harga pastu dia tak nak bagi, dia soh kta bla dari situ. Geram!

Sham Shui Po is wajib pergi jika ke HK lagi. Even shopping (bukan branded) lebih byk choice di sini compare to ladies market. T-shirt HK pun ade di sini.

Lama jgak kami di Sham Shui Po ni. Plan asalnya by lunch dh ke Hong Kong Island. Last skali jam 2 jgak baru abis kat sini. Kami sempat singgah di hotel dulu utk solat & letak segala barang2 yg dibeli. Sempat mandikan cik merah skali.

In Vacation : Hong Kong,

HK #4 : Ladies Market

Sebelum cerita shopping bersambung ke Sham Shui Po (Part 2).
Meh nak share cerita sy ke Ladies Market.

By MTR : Turun di Mong Kok Station utk ke Ladies Market. Lupa Exit ape?
Jgn risau sebab kat stesyen ader info utk ke ladies market and tempat2 lain.

Ladies market ni agak famous especially di kalangan tourists.
Kalo berjalan kat ladies market ni mmg ramai tourist jer.
Peniaga jer org tempatan.

Kami ke ladies market selepas ke Sham Shui Po.
Hubby of course la dh ke ladies market ni byk kali.
Perasaan sy yg kaki shopping gaya ala2 pasar malam ni agak menghampakan.
Kebanyakkan barang kat ladies market boleh didapati di Kenanga Wholesale City.
Memang bosanla kan utk sy yg dah banyak kali ke kenanga.
Yang mmg lain ckit pun souviner mcm t-shirt cop HK & fridge magnet.
Menurut hubby ladies market dah tak best macam dulu.
Mungkin kerana harga nya yg mahal or ade kawasan tumpuan lain.

Hong Kong mmg happening waktu malam.
Ramai sgt org kat area Mongkok ni. Mula2 tu seram jgak kan.
Tapi....jangan risau, polis ade dimana-mana sahaja. Macam korg tgk dalam filem hongkong!

Sy & hubby hanya beli fridge magnet & t-shirt HK kat ladies market.
T-shirt HK : 6 helai = HK$100
Fridge Magnet : 10 pcs = HK$90

Yang lain tu mcm tak berkenan sgt.
Lagipun time ke sini tak bawak stroller, humairah plak tido. so sy & hubby sgt penat mendukung humairah bergilir-gilir. Oh yer....utk sesape yg minat scrapbooking, kat ladies market ade jual pucher pelbagai size.
Sy mcm berminat nak beli. Tapi pikir2 takut tak pakai plak nti.

Ingatkan kalo ok, nak la repeat lagi ke ladies market for second time.
Tapi mcm bosan jer. so kta repeat ke Sham Shui Po!

In Vacation : Hong Kong,

HK #3 : Next Station....Sham Shui Po (Part 1)

Lepas check in hotel. Rehat rehat & tenangkan fikiran.
Hubby ajak ke tempat yg dia wajib pergi setiap kali ke Hong Kong.
By MTR from Jordan Station to Sham Shui Po station. Hanya selang 3 station.
Sekejap sgt. Tak sampai 15 minutes pun.
Kagum sgt dengan MTR system kat HK. Gerabak dah la panjang.
Train datang dalam 2 minutes sekali. Pantas!

1st tempat yang wajib hubby pergi utk cari tools is Apliu Street Flea Market.

Hubby kata barang kat sini jauh lebih murah compare kat KL.

Kitaorg borong battery GP byk kat sini.

Ade jgak accessorizes for computer, ipad, iphone & etc.

Casing Iphone & Samsung mmg mengoncang jiwa.

Segala warna corak ader. Nasibla aku pengguna HTC yg tegar!

“Men’s Street” – Apliu Street Flea Market

This area of Sham Shui Po will appeal to the little boys and the big boys (read “men”) in your group. The flea market is all about electrical devices, both new and used. Everything from audiovisual gear, to mobile phones, to home electrical products is for sale here and the prices are very much negotiable. You might also be able to find a few treasures here such as old coins, antique watches and LPs (vinyl records). Look for the outdoor stalls set up between Yen Chow Street and Nam Cheong Street on Apliu Street.

By MTR : For “Men’s Street” – Apliu Street Flea Market: Exit “C2” puts you right on Apliu Street. Look for the market on your left.

Trading starts at around noon or before and goes until very late in the evening; some stalls stay open until 11:00pm or midnight.

Rupanya Sham Shui Po bukan sekadar itu sahaja.
Sy telah menjumpai sesuatu yg membuatkan sy repeat ke Sham Shui Po utk kali ke-2.
Meroyan jap tgk semua nya!

Teaser for next entry!

In Vacation : Hong Kong,

HK #2 : HKIA Airport & Novotel Hotel

Hello!

Continue our cuti-cuti over the sea at HK!

Perjalanan mengambil masa 3 jam lebih dr LCCT ke Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA)

Kami sampai lebih kurang jam 11.40 tengahari.

HKIA adalah terletak di sebuah pulau yang ditambak. So time landing betul2 tepi laut.

Sila bersiap sedia kerana HKIA sgt besar. Kena byk berjalan. Turun naik escolatar. Pastu naik train lg.

Jangan risau korg akan berjalan dalam bangunan yg beraircond. Sistem HKIA lebih sistematic

Actually, Hong Kong ni dah macam kampung hubby.

Rasanya dh lebih 10 kali hubby menjejakkan kaki ke HK.

Sebab ape? sebabnye dulu hubby pernah bekerja dgn one of HK Airlines.

Kire dah slalu la ke HK satu masa dulu....

So sy mmg tak byk wat homework ke HK ni. Semua bergantung pada hubby jer.

Setiap kali lalu imigresyen mesti staff imigresen tgk 2-3 kali muka cik merah.

Nak compare kan gambar dlm passport. Hahaha! Lain benar mukanya!

Jom view gambar passport cik merah kat sini.

Lepas collect baggage. Stroller cik merah plak tak muncul.

Rupanya stroller tu berada pada tiang setiap tempat baggage kita keluar.

Ingat yer pada sesiapa yg bawa fragile or oversized baggage such as stroller tiang ini adalah collection point nyer.

Sebelum keluar jangan lupa rembat Map. Tapi time ktaorg dtg dh abis.

So sila rembat di hotel plak.

Ok ini sgt penting. Since kat HK sgt byk travel menggunakan public transport train, bus.
Wajib beli Octopus Card. Lebih kurg mcm Touch n Go.Lebih senang dapatkan di HKIA.
Rasanya byk tempat ader. And boleh reload di mana2 such as 7 eleven.

Even membeli belah di 7 eleven pun bleh guna octopus card.
Kat mana2 tempat ade lambang octopus card la senang cerita.
If naik public transport menggunakan octopus card, korg akan dapat discount compare utk yg tidak menggunakan octopus card.

Hubby reload octopus card HK$ 200 utk 4 Hari.
Tapi masih ader baki dalam HK$ 60. Itupun puas nak pikir cara mengabiskannyer.

waiting for papa

Untuk ke city actually ade train Airport Express (MTR). Ade jgak Airport transfer.
Tapi, hubby kata susah nak ke hotel sebab kna tukar train . Lagipun dgn baggage yg gedabak.
So, we decide utk menggunakan Airport Bus route A21 (HK$ 33) ke Hotel. Bus banyak drop points la kan. Kebanyakkan drop point near hotel. Macam hotel kami drop point no 10.
Harga pun lebih murah compare to Airport Transfer (rasanya HK$100++).
Dah nama pun Airport Bus, so mmg ade ruang khas utk letak baggage yg gedabak2 tu.

Sampai hotel baru teringat lupa nak tapau Popeye kat airport tadi.
Popeye is one of the makanan halal kat HK.

Hubby booked Novotel Hotel yg terletak di Nathan Road.
So, kitaorg sepatutnye turun bus pada drop point ke 10.
Entah camana terlepas sampai drop point ke 11. Nasib la tak jauh.
So ktaorg jalan kaki jer ke hotel. So, better bersiap sedia sebab drop points sgt dekat-dekat.
