November, 2011

So this would be our first (and ONLY) entry in November, 2011? So hectic. Jotting down these for our future references:-

17th and 18th November: MCLAREN VOLO

We have been searching a lightweight stroller / umbrella stroller for Khayra untuk jalan-jalan. Dah survey beberapa tempat dan dah buat sedikit rujukan di internet dan sangat memerlukannya sebelum Disember ini. Kebetulan ada beberapa ibu-ibu sedang berdiskusi di Twitter dan ramai yang suggest to buy Mclaren Volo sebab lightweight. My criteria are as long as ada shade and basket, it would be perfect. Hubby’s criteria kalau boleh nak yang ada strap to galas and of course lightweight. Dipendekkan cerita, one mummy (@idayezid) yang saya kenal di Twitter gave me a link (Ainpreloveditems) yang jual pre loved Mclaren Stroller including Volo. Added her at FB and lucky me on that day, dapat chatting with Ain di FB dan buat reservation on Volo. Lagi best bila Ain offered ada new Mclaren Volo but ada a minor defect (and not visible to the naked eyes, if I may add) with a really reasonable price. Ain showed me the defect dekat button on the shade yang tercabut and Ain dah fixed it with another button, so it’s just like 99% new. Yang lain tak ada problem langsung and it comes in a box with tag, rain cover and warranty. Made an appointment with Ain at KL and sangat berpuas hati when we looked at the condition of the stroller dan terus bayar in cash to her. Sungguh berpuas hati dealing with Ain & husband Ain yang tolong kami pasang the said stroller & tunjuk cara etc to us. Thanks Ain! Terima kasih juga kepada semua rakan-rakan Twitter saya yang lain! Love love love. Here’s a picture (taken with my BB) of the Mclaren Volo in Turkish Blue:


Khayra – tidur lena :D


Enjoying her Tutti Fruitti on the new stroller :P

My personal review on Volo : GREAT! Only weighing 4kg, ada strap to carry on the shoulder, ada basket, rain cover and shades. Volo tak boleh recline ya, kawan-kawan tapi for a toddler yang berumur 1 year and above, tak kisah sangat kot. Volo is suitable for baby from 6 months. For purpose of jalan-jalan (and if you already have another perfect stroller yang boleh recline and suits from newborn), Volo adalah bagus for your next (lightweight) stroller.
18th November: BEST FRIENDS

OK, enough on lightweight stroller. Next, we went to the Maternity & Children Expo at Midvalley. Secara tak sengaja sebenarnya sebab kami memang plan nak ke MV so masuk MV saja, baru tahu ada Expo. Langkah kanan lah kiranya. Haha.

Someone just got himself a new toy. *Ehem* ;) 
(Not at the Maternity and Children Expo, ya. Hehe)



At night jumpa kawan-kawan kesayangan, Linda and Zmah berserta Suami dan anak masing-masing di Uptown. Rasanya dah lama tak jumpa semua sekali begini so bila jumpa excited sangat! Thanks korang for the triple dates! :P



Kami bersama anak-anak yang makin membesar :D

19th November: WEDDING

Jalan-jalan di The Curve, singgah rumah Makcik dan Pakcik, breakfast with Abang Imran’s family and attending hubby’s best friend’s wedding at Bora Asmara. Kawan baik Suami saya since tadika. Bagus, kan? Jumpa Wahida Ghazali, kawan lama saya ketika tuisyen Darjah 6 at the wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and congratulations to Midah & husband!

20th November: AL-FATIHAH

7.45am – Mama called Tanya bila nak bertolak balik ke KT. Kami sedang bersiap nak bertolak balik ke KT pada waktu tersebut. At about 8.30am, tengah nak kunci pintu rumah SIL (SIL & family went back to KT already on Friday), Hubby’s BIL called and informed us that Wan (Hubby’s grandmother) dah meninggal. We were so shocked. Suami saya terduduk di kerusi when we received the sad news. I hugged Hubby & started to cry. I was in denial bila Suami bagitahu untuk inform that news to my family. Saya rasa macam baru saja cakap dengan Mama dan waktu itu masih tak ada perkhabaran sedih itu. We started the car & had our breakfast in the car dan terus balik KT. Masa tu Allah saja yang tahu, saya berdoa agar perjalanan kami selamat (hujan sangat lebat on that day) dan moga cepat tiba di KT. On our way, kami dapat live updates dari both SIL & BIL yang kebetulan balik ke KT pada minggu itu.

We reached KT at 1.30pm and terus ke rumah Mama. I cried again masa peluk my SIL, Mama, his Aunties & cousins. Walaupun saya berpeluang mengenali Arwah Wan hanya 3 tahun lebih, kehilangan Arwah sangat dirasai. Semoga Allahyarhamah Che Zainab Binti Abu Bakar (92 tahun) (28.02.1919 – 20.11.2011) ditempatkan dikalangan orang-orang yang beriman. Al-Fatihah.

Tahlil dan bacaan Yaasin diadakan di kediaman Mama untuk 3 malam. Terima kasih pada yang sudi hadir dan terima kasih atas segala ucapan takziah dan doa-doa kalian.


24th and 25th November: ENGAGEMENT

Went to KL again with my parents to attend my cousin’s engagement at Cyberjaya. Berkumpul with my siblings, aunties & cousins adalah fun sebab semua rapat dan banyak gossip. Tehee. We might have to cancel our trip to *ehem (nama tempat dirahsiakan) early next year sebab perkahwinan sepupu saya akan diadakan pada tarikh tersebut.

So that’s all my catatan ringkas for the events that have been occurred in November, 2011. Ada segala kemanisan pertemuan, kepahitan perpisahan, kesempurnaan sebuah ikatan baru dan keterujaan menempuh hari mendatang. That’s life, huh? So colourful.


With that I have another few working days before our holiday begins. Yippee! *lompatbintang*

** Salam Tahun Baru Hijrah 1433 kepada semua umat Islam.
