Review : Philips Avent ISIS Manual

Product Dimensions: 7.7 x 3 x 9 inches ; 2 pounds

Shipping Weight: 14.4 ounces

 
This pump actually came to me as a saviour when I need a partner for my Medela Mini E. Single pumping took me around 20 mins for each pumping session, so I decided to get another pump to cut half of the time used with my Medela Mini E. N I tell you, it works!  and I would recommend this for mothers with larger nipples compared to Medela standard breast shield which is smaller. I noticed that this pump really emptied my *b and I managed to get 6-10 oz for every 4 hours pumping session. So, if you want to pump while traveling or just to relieve engorgement, this is definitely the pump for you!

Review:

Pros
- Soft massage cushion 'petals' helps to stimulate a natural let-down reflex (really emptied my *b) and COMFY   :=))
- Easy to Assemble and Use
- Able to control suction (depending on how you squeeze the handle)
- Portable and light
- Very quiet
- Hooks right up to Avent bottles
- Recommended to use while nursing and pumping at the same time. I loveee… especially when husband drive I can pump and nurse my baby hfy.

Cons
- Taking more time than the electric pump as this is a single pump
- Hands can be tired due to pumping ( I hate this!)
- Might not be suitable for mothers with extra size breast (larger nipples).

A day to jolly

Alhamdulillah, abah & Fathma selamat sampai rumah subuh tadi... I woke up around 6 am, and so funny that I kinda feel special "presence". LOL. 6th sense ker? Supposely abah will arrive around 8 am, but somehow Farhan picked them and sent o my house earlier. So happy, so today I cooked nasik dagang with gulai ikan tongkol. Planned to visit my auntie at cheras, and definitely she will love this nasi dagang. Will share photos and recipe soon. Now I gotta cook laksa for beloved mr eazy. Well. this is his fav weekend food :P Now and always....

Macaroni & Cheese

Okay, finally mami be able to tried out this method of mem'mac n cheese'kan Hannan's favorite.but still. there is a few way to improve it out. This is mami nyer style no...

1 1/2 cup of macaroni - boiled & drain
1 cup of cheddar cheese - shredded
1 cup of evaporated milk
50 g butter

prep :

1. Pour half of macaroni into baking pan
2. Spread cheese & butter, left some for top
3. Pour another half of macaroni
4. Sprinkle cheese on top
5. Pour evaporated milk

I baked for 40 minutes with 200 c

The outcome.improvement needs:
- add more milk so it will be softer
- do not sprinkle cheese on top. Enough with one layer of cheese in between.

overall, ok lah, the kids loves it, cuma mami got to eat the crisp part yg kat atas yg tak cun and looks like hangus a bit tu lah!  overall, mami rate B for this trial (for my own self ya..)  ahhahahaha..  ok, see ya!

Find a guy who calls you beautiful..

find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,
who calls you back when you hang up on him,
who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat,
or will stay awake just to watch you sleep…

wait for the boy who kisses your forehead,
who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends,
who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup on.

one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares
and how lucky his is to have you…
the one who turns to his friends and says,
“that’s her!”
~ unknown ~

Well, personally I think this poem is a little childish, and not too realistic. Why would a man stay awake for hours to watch you sleep? I think that is CREEPY. Some people have their own way of expressing their feelings. I knew a guy who used to have sweet talks for years, but a CHEATER. (rubbish!) and some other guy who is failed in sweet talk, but have their own way of expressing their feeling, …And their own way may not always be a Hollywood chick-flick romance.. which I say I preferred. For most of us, its a treat when our man tries at some romantic gesture or says something very sweet. It doesn’t happen 24/7, but we know they loves us. It’s just in their own way.

This poem reminds me of what my Sugareazy did, for > 5 years we've been together. Well, we've been through a lot, sweet, bitter and charm. I would never forget how he chased me, how he stands by me, and for all that he did.

Sugar, thank you very much for always be there for me. I love you more today than I did yesterday and I will love you more tomorrow than I do today!~   You know what is the best moment I remember about you?  I remember how you hugged me when I cried when I told you I lost my job contract because of my pregnancy (that was 5 years ago!!)  and you were saying things to comfort me. How sweet that moment is... You might forgotten about it totally, but I engraved it in my heart as the sweetest moment ever. I was so stupid and funny that time, hahahaha

p/s :
- Thanks fior fetching me last night and sending me to office this morning...  Hopefully your headache is getting better.

EidulAdha Celebration

We actually very seldom go back home for EidulAdha celebration. But then this year BBH wanted to celebrate it at his kampong. So OK, since it is coincidently fall on my off days so we went back to his parents.. and during the 2nd day we went to his granny house.. there it was!.. the ritual to sacrifice, event of the celebration. For this we had a cow, but I didnot go closely to capture the cow's picture.. all I got was my darlings picture :))

Look! Hannan was kind of shocked to see how they slaughtered the cow. Come on Hannan, be brave!

And there was Hani sitting on BBH lap..  dear BBH, it is totally not difficult for you to melt me like ice cream you know~  :P

It was a good one, as BBH's  granny house is located at Selama, Perak. It is truly village style in everything. We cooked the meat to a few type of dishes, I did one course :P  then,.. you know,.. my favorite event. Mentekedarah :P hihihihi...

By the way, do you guys know that there are some sunnah during the day?

Sunnah of Eid   Wake up early.  Prepare for personal cleanliness, take care of details of clothing, etc.  Take a Ghusl (bath) after Fajr. Brush your teeth. Dress up, putting on best clothes available, whether new or cleaned old ones.  Use perfume (men only).  Have breakfast on Eid-al-Fitr before leaving for prayer ground. On    Eid-al-Adha, eat breakfast after Salaat or after sacrifice if you are    doing a sacrifice.  Pay Zakaat-al-Fitr before Salaat-al-Eid (on Eid-al-Fitr).  Go to prayer ground early.  Offer Salaat-al-Eid in congregation in an open place except when whether is not permitting like rain, snow, etc.  Use two separate route to and from the prayer ground.  Recite the following Takbir on the way to Salaat and until the beginning of Salaat-al-Eid:  Allaho-Akber, Allaho-Akber. La ila-ha ill-lal-lah. Allaho-Akber, Allaho-Akber. Wa-lilahill hamd. (Allah is great, Allah is great. There is no god but Allah. Allah is great, Allah is great. And all praises are for Allah).

WFH and spongebob

There are certain times when I requested my manager to allow me to work from home, especially when:

1- I am not feeling well
2- Hubs and kids not feeling well
3- Transportation issue, etc

So, there was this day lah I worked from home as usual. Since our study room is not ready yet, i tended to use dining table as my workplace. The gurls as usual will be watching cartoons or playing games at living room. I was calling AT&T to get an update on T3 outage at States and talked to somebody name Gary.

Me : Yes, Gary.. You said your name was Gary, right?

and then si Hannan ran to me and ask:

Hannan : Mommy.. mommy, mommy talk to Gary spongebob ke? ha mommy?

And I was on my softphone mic, obviously the guy over there heard what she said and he was laughing like hell. hahahahahha

Lesson:
======================
Try to minimize working from home, and if you do, better stay away from your kids or mute your phone!
