OUR LATEST OBSESSION :)

Hehehe if any of you saw my latest status in FB "Less time for FB. Having fun with sumthing else.", let me explain, its not that we already bought the Kinect Xbox or PS3 or any other game-gadget. (We are still discussing the proposal ngeh ngeh... :D)

Well, our current project is this ....

Yup, we are watching slot Lagenda : Siti Kelembai through You Tube. But my very intelligent hero had come out with a sparkling briliant idea to connect the laptop to our tv, so here we go, watching MALAY movies on the tv! Bombastic! Really make us feel like being in Sg. Buloh o-ledi lah!

To make it more cozy, we put the Toto kat depan tv. Amboi.. amboi... pastu masing2 dah jadi sgt liat kalau nk kena bangun to get some drink or even to the loo.

Ibu tetap jugak kena merajinkan diri membuat kudapan utk Sang Dewa Amet dan Tuan-tuan Puteri...

* Resepi boleh tengok kt YOUTUBE ni (hahaha resepi pn pakai youtube jugak!). Lagi best klu ada mesin mcm SINI pulak :D

Even Amet every morning before leaving to work will berpesan "Jgn tengok Siti Kelembai lagi tau, tunggu ayah balik." Hehehe....

Orait ayah. So me, Zuzu n Yaya watch Geng Surau time ayah pi keja... :D

Oh anyway thanks to Kak Shikin yg memberikan sugestion for the movies. For those yang ada ketinggalan menonton the series (ada cerita lain-lain jugak), or for my frens at overseas, bleh lah try search kt YouTube keyword "sashafiqa28". Ada banyak movies yg dia upload, and so far dia punya video sgt clear and tak byk tunggu buffer. Whoever you are sashafiqa, thanks a bunch to u too!

Before this mmg ada downloaded few movies tapi mostly are citer omputih jek. Dapat la tgok Salt, The Social Network and so. Tapi kalau dh namanya melayu tu, mmg lebih sedap lemak berkrim klu dapat tgok citer melayu kan. Walaupun citer melayu selalu dikaitkan dgn adegan2 yg kurang logik, tapi tetap jugak tergedik-gedik nak tengok!

Of course la lebih serasi tgok citer melayu compared to drama arab betoi dak???

THREATENED (sambungan)

Sambung kat entry baru jek lah ek, sbb dah masuk 2 hari, bukan lg 2 jam berehat. Sorry.

On the way back from Dhahran Mall, my phone rang. An unknown number. I dont know why, that time I didnt give a long thought, terus je answer. So confident that it might be my new Malaysian frens, perhaps. Unfortunately, it's a man's voice. He spoke arabic. It was not a long conversation, just like this (as I can recall) :

Him : Alluu... (That's how they pronounce Hello here)
Me : Oh wrong number... wrong number..!!! (a bit shouting, sbb arab ni selalunya pekak!).

Terus je I cakap wrong number, sbb I mmg confident I xde kawan bangsa Arab, apatah lagi lelaki! No way! Geli yewww!!!

Less than 2 minutes, my phone rang again. This time I passed it to Amet to answer. And Amet keep repeating the same thing :

"Wrong number! Wrong Number!"

"Maafi ma'lum arabi" (I dont understand arabic)

"No arabic! No arabic!"

And that Arab bodoh yg x paham bahasa tu terus jugak cakap dalam bahasa arab, and taknak letak telefon. And Amet pun saja jek nak melayan konon-konon nk bg habis kredit budak tuh. Amet turned the loudspeaker on. I can hear the Arab said sumthing like "shai", so I think maybe konon2 mcm dia nk ajak Amet minum2 teh or what.

But soon after that, jantung I mmg tersentap bila dia cakap "Madam.. madam..". Amet plak cakap "Madam? No madam here! Wrong number!" Arab tu terus gak degil, kali ni dia cakap "Phone number madam...phone madam". Seriously bunyik mmg desperate nak mamp**sss!!! Gila geli!!! Then Amet pun letak phone.

I asked Amet to stop by at the shop sbb nak beli cili kering yg mmg dah habis licin. Amet turun dgn Zuzu jek and I stay in the car sbb cik Yaya tengah tido. Tetiba ada kereta (mcm 4WD tp x perasan keta apa) parking kt sebelah kanan I, rapat gila to our car. Since kt sini driver dok sebelah kiri, so that pak arab (tidak sama dgn yg ckp telefon td) mmg kira berada betul2 la sebelah I. Damn!!! Benci gila!!! And seriously I nampak mmg bijik mata dia siap jenguk2 dalam keta I!!! And he came with a fren. After a while I nmpk diorg sembang2 and gelak2 suka ria. Sambil2 sekejap2 dok pusing kepala looking at me (and Yaya).

And tetiba ada lagi sebijik keta besar camtu gak, parking kat depan keta I. Ada 2 org lelaki Arab jgk dalam tu. And this second car bukak tingkap and shouting dekat geng dia yg dalam first car tadi. Punya kuat dok bersembang, sambil gelak berdekah-dekah. Tergedik-gedik la sbb dapat tengok muka pompuan. Yang paling I x suka, mulut cakap ngan kawan dia, mata masing2 pakat dok stare dalam keta I. And bayangkan, diorang mmg mcm mengelilingi I - dgn first car on my right, and the second one in front of me. Mmg scary gila! Since I nmpk mcm diorg ni dah mula tak betul, I pun call Amet. And I angkat Yaya yg tido atas riba and letak depan muka I. And that man from the second car tu mula keluar dan turun dari kereta dia ........ (I think dia nk pi sembang kt kereta kawan dia yg lebih dekat dgn my car's window, so boleh la sekodeng lebih sikit. B*b*!!!)

Nasib baik, masa tu Amet pun datang. Phuhhh.... Alhamdulillah.

Few weeks ago, ada sorang budak pompuan (Malaysian) yg pi kedai runcit dekat dgn umahnya, cuba di"toot" oleh seorang arab.

Seriously, at this point of time, I mmg rasa benci yg teramat sgt meluap pada lelaki-lelaki arab nih! Mmg lah selama ni pun I x pernah suka pun...

I bukan datang sini nak study sociology or nak buat cultural research. Tapi diceritakan oleh seorang ofismate Amet, kos nak kawen kat sini adalah amat tinggi. Paling kurang 50,000 mesti ada dlm tangan. Dengan hantaran, perhiasan, kenduri bla bla... Bukan calang2 orang lah buleh kawen kat sini. Hmmmmm.... pelik tapi benar kan? Siapa sangka, bangsa yg begitu dekat dgn Rasulullah's tribe, adalah yg melanggar sunnah baginda?

Bukan semua yang disebalik niqab tu secantik dia ni...Tak payahla korang nak berangan...

Sabda Rasulullah "Sebaik-baik maskahwin ialah yang lebih rendah" (Riwayat Abu Daud) ~Tolong betulkan kalau I salah ye~

Hmmm... tapi lelaki-lelaki Arab nih, mostly are time-wasters, duduk dalam kedai kopi, imagining women's invisible body inside the abaya.... Itu jek lah keja depa. Hey man, your laziness will bring you no wife lah!!! Keja malas!!!

Kalau u all go to any service counter (contoh mcm imigresen ke), jgn lah terkejut kalau nmpak diorang lepak-lepak dgn kopi, megi, mcdonald semua ada atas meja kaunter tuh. Begitulah suasana yg biasa dilihat di sini.

No doubt, dgn culture pemalas nak mamp*s korang ni + budaya adat resam yg mula menyimpang dari Sunnah Rasulullah (hantaran mahal + berpesta besar-besaran), inilah yg mula membuatkan tanah bumi anbiyak ni mula dikotori dgn hal-hal yg menakutkan.

Oh, do I sound like menulis research already? Heh...

Kalau pakai niqab, tp still nampak cantik sikit mcm ni pun bahaya...

THREATENED

Dah lama tak gi Khobar (cewaahh... padahal baru selang seminggu!). Since cik Zuzu asyik repeatedly cakap "Kakak nk pi *Nasyed Mall* (supposed to be Rasheed lah!) so bawak je lah the kids (oh dont forget the ibu) pi sana. We went to Dhahran Mall instead. And Zuzu believe it's her Nasyed mall. O-o rait!

Alhamdulillah, triple-happy-ness sbb ayah belanja Zuzu, Yaya n Yuyu shoes....



Zuzu : Sibuk betoi dia nak beli boots, mcm la ada salji kat sini anak oi... tp since it's winter, and mmg byk sesangat boots tgh sale so cik Zuzu pun tidak melepaskan peluang keemasan. And you know lah how this girl... mmg suka melawa one...Got this from Mothercare.


Yaya : Tak kisah yg mana-mana pun. Yang penting masuk jek kedai semua dia pegang, semua dia ckp "Bu.. nak li ni..." (Ibu, nak beli yg ni). Amboi, cakap pun tak penuh dah pandai nk shopping. Mmg penat yg amat penat sgt sbb cik Yaya ni mmg sesuka hati dia terjah kt mana-mana. Kdg2 hilang celah-celah rak kasut, tetiba muncul kt tempat toys. Aduhhh....


Ibu : Hehehe... sebab ibu sgt penat kan.. kena jaga budak-budak yg mcm spring melompat riang ria sana sini, maka haruslah ibu pun dapat shoes jugak. Huhuhu lg pun masa hari tu sgt gatai beli wedges, now dh musim sejuk baru menggigil kaki masuk angin! So beli flats la pulak... And I just feel that flats mmg always be my soul-shoes. Yummy! (Oh, gambar shoes ibu bleh ambik kt website Aldo jek jgn jeles anak-anak....) hahahaha...

Fakta : Sgt benci nak beli kasut kt sini sbb walaupun susah payah cari kat butik ke, branded tahap antarabangsa ke hapa, tp mesti tulis/chop "Made in China". Sgt amat tidak meyakinkan.

Okeh. Itu ialah part gembira. Now, let me start cerita yg bersesuaian dgn tajuk tu pulak. Sangat tidak gembira.

Emmm... sorry ek, I sakit kepala (seriously this few days mmg not feeling very well on my head and eyes huhu). Nak stop jap dulu... Lagipun nak kena masak lunch utk my little sweethearts jap. Nanti lg 3-4 jam I datang sambung balik. (Saja je nk bagi suspen lebih sikit hihihi....) Tungguuuu.....

YEAST

Dah banyak sgt asyik tulis pasal makan-makan, jamuan makan, makanan... So hari ni tetiba rasa nak tulis pasal salah satu ingredient dalam makanan nih plak. Been involved in microbiology lab for almost 7 years, membuatkan I tetiba rasa rindu dgn bacteria-bacteria yg cute mute tuh.
Rindu dgn bau busuk masam dari incubator...rindu nak buat stain... sob sob sob

So today, I just nak share sikit pengetahuan I about yeast and it's function in baking. Actually ini pun sbb nak refreshkan ilmu I yg dh hampir2 berkarat nih :'(

Dan kebetulan pulak, few weeks ago I ada buat donut and pakai yis tapi tak kembong / tak menjadi. So I try beli yis lain and put control in every factor, and Alhamdulillah...

Okeh, mari belajar!

Ada 2 jenis yis (bakery yis) yg biasa digunakan :
1. Fresh yeast
2. Dry Instant yeast

Fresh Yeast - yg biasa dijual di tempat frozen food, dalam bentuk cube mcm butter. Nak pakai yis ni mesti kena "hidupkan" dia dulu dalam air suam + sikit gula.

Dry Instant Yeast - boleh guna dgn cara campur terus dalam bancuhan doh. Tak perlu hidupkan dulu. Tapi kalau nak hidupkan dulu pun boleh jugak, sama jek caranya, masukkan dalam bancuhan air suam + sikit gula.

Pantang Larang Yeast
Haaa... pantang larang nih adalah saintifik, bukan sebab ada hantu datang makan yis so that dia mati or whatever :)

1. Yeast will die bila terkena or bersentuhan directly dgn garam.
Maka klu nak masukkan directly instant yeast dlm bancuhan tepung, make sure garam (jika ada) digaul betul2 rata dulu dgn tepung, then only baru masukkan yeast. Otherwise, mmg sampai bila-bila doh anda tak akan mengembong montok gitu...

2. Fats (butter, eggs) will slow down yeast growth.
Selalunya tak perlu masukkan eggs, tapi utk butter tuh boleh dimasukkan tapi jgn terlalu banyak. Ada jugak resepi yg gunakan minyak, pun sama, guna sikit jek minyak.

3. Gula yg terlalu banyak will make yeast dehydrated and die
So jgn banyak2 sgt gula, agak2 cukup manis jek. Mcm pepatah cakap "Mati semut yis kerana gula...". Manusia pun sama.... hehehe....

4. Suhu /Air yg terlalu panas boleh mematikan yis. Suhu / air yg terlalu sejuk plak menyebabkan yis tidak aktif.

TIPS
Untuk memastikan yis yg anda beli tu masih active / tak expired a.k.a dah mati, maka lebih baik buat "proofing" dulu - masukkan yis dalam air suam + sikit gula. Kalau dia berbuih-buih dan "naik" tu maksudnya yis tu hidup dan boleh digunakan. Kalau air tu statik takde buih or apa-apa perubahan, maka buang jek lah....

Oh ini bukan cappucino. Ni contoh masa I buat proofing semalam. Mcm nih kompem yis sedang melonjak2 gembira bersuka ria la tu :D

Apakah yang berlaku bila yis dicampurkan ke dalam doh?
Bila mendapat makan secukupnya (gula) dan suhu yg sesuai (air suam), yis akan mula makan dan digest dgn cepatnya. Digestioan ini akan mengeluarkan gas karbon dioksida (yg menyebabkan doh naik, and roti/donut jadi kembong comel dan ada mcm lubang2 kt dalam tu) dan sedikit ethanol (yg berbau sedikit masam). Tapi biasanya bau ethanol akan hilang selepas pembakaran. Dan semasa di dalam oven yg panas, pada awalnya yis akan menjadi hyperactive dan makan serta digest dgn sgt cepat (masa ni u can see the dough mcm naik kembung dlm oven tu), then after a while yis pun mati.... Kesian....(Jgn sedih bila makan roti lepas baca cerita yis ni ye).

Nak buat piza semalam, tu yg bleh jadik experiment yeast nih hehehe...
Alhamdulillah comei gebu jek roti pizza semalam sbb dpt yeast yg superactive!

Ini pulak ialah pembantu makmal ibu...

Inilah jugak "radio" ibu...

Nota : Yis adalah makhluk 1 (satu) sel sahaja dan berupaya memberi manfaat yg sgt besar utk manusia. Hampir seluruh dunia org makan roti kan. Subhanallah...

RESEPI CHICKEN PIE

Hohoho... nanti xmau letak dah la gambar makanan kt sini. Hehehe bukan sbb kedekut resepi, tp sbb resepi I nih selalunya main hentam keromo dan main campak dalam kuali jek. Hehhehe...
Selalu jugak klu Amet mintak "masak la sotong yg mcm hari tu", I dah xtau nak masak camana sbb dh x ingat apa benda yg I campak dlm periuk masa tu hehehe.... Next time mmg kena tulis dalam buku la kan...

Okeh, ni resepi ingat-ingat lupa utk Chicken Pie tu :)

BAHAN INTI :
Ayam kisar (gunakanlah jenama Ramly hehehe)
Bawang putih
Bawang besar (potong dadu)
Serbuk lada hitam
Sos tomato (sikit ja)
Garam
Kentang (sikit je - potong dadu)
Daun sup (x letak pun xpe)

BAHAN KULIT :
Kuning telur
Kulit Puff Pastry*

*Ok kulit Puff Pastry ni boleh dibeli terus dari kedai/pasaraya. Tak payah buat sendiri, buat sakit tangan jek nak menguli hehehe. Kalau kat Arab ni, I guna jenama sinilah. Contohnya mcm nih :

Ni I try beli 2 jenis brand sbb x pernah guna lagi yg sini punya. So far yg Sunbulah tu cantik.

Okeh tu versi Arab punya. Kalau kat Malaysia, sila guna kan jenama "KAWAN". Sbb dulu I dh try beberapa jenama, so far yg jenama Kawan tu lah yg paling cantik sekali menjadi. Packingnya sama jek bentuk 4 segi mcm gambar I tuh, cuma yg jenama kawan tu kalau tak silap plastik ada garis-garis kaler biru merah gitu. (Haaa.... pnya jelas dh nih bg description hehehe).

Option : Kalau katakan x jumpa dgn puff pastry tu, boleh guna Instant Roti Canai, (kalau boleh jenama kawan jugak.) then potong2 buat bentuk kulit pie yg anda suka :)

Eh dok cerita pasal kulit pastry, cara2 nak masak belum tulis lagi. Okeh caranya biasalah tumis bawang2, then masukkan daging ayam, pastu masuklah bahan2 lain samai masak.
Pastu potong kulit pastry ikut bentuk yg anda suka then isikan inti then tekan2 dgn fork kat skeliling supaya nanti tak terbukak. Sapu dgn kuning telur.Pastu bakar lah dlm oven suhu 190degC, 20 mins.

Kalau nak bentuk cam I buat tu, potong dua jek pastry tu (potong silang utk dapat bentuk 3 segi). Utk pastry bahagian atas tu garis2 dgn pisau.
Hehehe ok tak tulis resepi camnih. Sorry ek tak berbakat langsung hehehhe...

NOTA PENTING : Jangan tersalah beli "KULIT POPIA" tau. Yang ni memang tak jadi :)

WHERE THE HEART IS

I know that my Amet would give the whole world for me, for Zuzu n Yaya if he could. It's just that sometime, he has to prioritize the important things first. And I truly understand that were not born as anak Dato' (cucu atok ada laa..) or Tan Sri, or being named Tengku *dotdot*. So, living a moderate life, we have to.

And I know, in his mind & heart, he will always try his best to fulfill our dreams...

I sangat terharu sbb I baru jek buat entry about my wishlist tu, and just after 2 days, (dah la tengah2 bulan pulak tu), he make me put a strike on one of my wishes... Seriously, mcm tak percaya.


I thought I will only be able to see this next year in my kitchen....

As per my request : No Kenwood please...Kot-kot takleh bawak balik nanti, naya jek beli mahai2... (Nanti beli kt Malaysia takpa hehehhe)

So, I started my first baking in Saudi - Dark Chocolate Cake. Baked with full of loves n hearts. Feel so good to see my girls (and "boy") lip-smacking :)

Dah siap cake, baking lagi hehehhe. Punya lah gian dah lama tak membaking kan...

So next menu, Chicken Pie.

Alhamdulillah... Syukur ilallah atas segala rezeki n nikmat yg diberikan...

Sekian saja, takleh nak jiwang karat lebih-lebih... my princesses dah bangun and menekan-nekan laptop jugak... OH, they just press "Publish Post". Hehehehe.....

ME IN THE MIDDLE

Yes, it's not about Malcolm :)

I memang bersyukur dapat peluang melihat tempat orang. And Alhamdulillah, I start to enjoy my life here. With the week have been jam packed with social activities, the boredom is slowly fade away.

Cuma, gitulah, bila dah hidup nomad nih, make me stuck in the middle. Well, being a fulltime housewife, hampir setiap hari spend the whole day dalam rumah, I REALLY want to make this house a very homey, comfy place. I really want to create a sanctuary, a relaxing and warm embrace here.
But the problem is, kami tak tau sampai bila we will be staying here. Yang confirm, 2 tahun is the minimum. So, kalau 2 tahun definitely mmg tak berbaloi if I want to buy those beautiful decos-thingy. Kadang-kadang jalan-jalan kat rumah orang, or kat kedai tengok orang pasang rak-rak yg letak bunga ke, super-cute candle holder ke, macam tergedik-gedik sgt lah tangan ni nak membeli. Tapi terpikir pulak, kalau tinggal sini tak lama nanti nak pindah balik Malaysia larat ke nak hangkut semua nih? Tapi kalau kena duduk sini dalam 5 tahun ke, at least berbaloi lah klu just nak lelong or tinggal je kat sini. Huhuhuu... I dalam dilema...

Now, I tengah dok cari-cari oven pulak. Biasalah, I ni kalau nak beli mesti nak survey puas-puas hati sbb nak kualiti, tapi nak jugak yg paling murah! Dapur yg Amet beli dulu tu mmg dah ada oven, tapi masalahnya oven gas! And I dont have any idea how to bake cakes or cookies or muffins using that kind of oven. Setakat nak panggang2 sikit tu boleh lah. Other than that, semuanya jadik hangit! Since Zuzu is a truely cake-lover, and hari-hari keep asking me for cake, I think it's a must that I should get a baking oven.

Memang klu rumah tak complete, susah sikit nak buat keja. Now, my washing machine plak buat hal. The spin dah rosak. Macam-macam. Tapi ok lagi as long as it still can wash, and I just have to perah dgn tangan jek. Amet insist to buy a new one, but I said x payah, membazir jek. Bukan susah sangat nak perah kain. Cuma klu hari sandstorm xleh bukak tingkap, so lambat la sikit keringnye :)

Now, I ada few wishlist, which I think bukan keinginan, tapi mmg keperluan. So I sertakan sekali dgn reason yg kukuh. For your approval, boss :)

1. Meja Makan
Sangat perlu memandangkan sekarang ialah musim sejuk, maka dah tak tahan duduk atas lantai. Lagipun, kalau takdek meja makan, the kids tend to bawak makanan merata-rata, that's why the floor is sangat comot (not bcoz I malas mengemop). And bila katakan I tgh makan, and one of them (or both) poops then I bleh terus wash them and just tinggal jek pinggan atas meja (tak perlu heret pinggan sana-sini smpai kadang2 terbawak masuk dalam toilet sekali).

2. Oven
Kesian Zuzu, asyik mintak kek jek. Dah tried few times beli kek kat bakery kat sini, tapi sentiasa mengecewakan sob sob sob... (Cukup kesian tak? :P) Eh lagipun I ada sangat banyak resepi nak buat makanan best2, tapi semua kena guna oven (that's why selama ni asyik masak sambal tmis jek :))

3. Pilih antara Rak TV or Coffee Table.
Sbb klu ada guest, kopi kena letak kat bawah, tapi guest dok atas sofa. Macam tak berapa kena jek. (Isk kukuh ke ni? Boleh laa..)

Hmmm... begitulah dilemmanya tinggal sementara kat tempat orang nih. Nak rumah cantik, tapi kang dah elok hias-hias, tetiba dah kena balik. Membazir la pulak kan. Tapi kalau tak hias langsung, rasa mcm duduk kat kedai runcit la pulak! And kalau ada tetamu nak datang umah, isk rasa mcm nak bagi-tak bagi jek! Hehehhehe.... Tapi kalau dah namanya Yue tu kan... dia boleh buat muka koboi je orang datang umah takdek langsir dia nih! Hehehehe....

IT'S MAKAN-GATHERING AGAIN!

What can I do? Dah mmg ini jek activity I kat sini, so terpaksalah write about makan-makan again. After all, I write this as a memory when I will not be in this kingdom anymore soon (hehehhe....how soon???)

This occasions actually for Nur and Kak Ani yg akan balik Malaysia. As usual, they get their presents and souvenirs. Wondering what will I get when it's my time... ngeeee.. :D (Eh... kata dah best kan dok sini?) Hehehehe....

Ramai giler cik puan-cik puan kat sini. Ini pun ramai lg yg x dpt attend...

Utk yg pakai hijab I blurkan ye...
Yg pakai spek tu Kak Siti yg akan balik jgk, dah celebrate kt morning-coffee hari tu.. :)

Hah, inilah jiran seberang blok I, Kak Maz tukang buat kek...

Yg comei tu Cik Rosse, rakan sebaya tp dia dh anak 4 hehehe...

Haaa ini ialah cik Yaya yg makes ibu so-o exhausted with her madness yesterday.
Maybe sbb naik bas lama sikit kot semalam.

Oh lupa nak cerita, semalam drebar bas tu mcm blur sikit. Biasanya dia akan pi ambik Adda or Kak Jahan (AJK pengangkutan) dulu, then barulah berjalan keliling kampung kutip penumpang. Tapi semalam, entah dia mimpi apa, dia ambik me n anak2 dulu!!!! Oh I dh la sgt takut sbb bas tu kosong jek. Tp nasib baik dh nmpak jiran seberang dah menonjolkan diri kt tepi jalan so I n the girls naik and cepat2 suruh dia ambik kakak2 seberang. Hmmm... maybe sbb I pakai tudung merah, or maybe rumah I yg paling dekat dgn Panda so dia senang ingat kot.

So jadinya kami lah yg paling lama naik bas. That's why lah cik Yaya amat not comfortable, and keep on merengek almost all the way long. And the worse part is, she refused to drink milk sbb dia dah gigit the bottle's nipple, so jadi tajam2 and she just dont like it.

Adoihhh.... sometime, Ibu mmg rasa rindu sgt nak hantar Zuzu n Yaya to Ummi Aisyah so that Ibu can enjoy the joyful me-time. Ohh... Ibu yg sangat kejam!

BREAKFAST @ LEEZA JOE's

*Leeza Joe is not a nama kedai/restaurant. She's a friend of mine :)*

I am getting more n more invitations for makan-makan nowadays. And I just love it. Tried my best to say "no" but I just don't want to disappoint the host (and my tummy!).

Make this Murtabak Maggi utk dibawa ke majlis, unfortunately telah dihabis-licinkan oleh sang peneropong :)

The most exciting reason to attend the invitation this time is because .... Leeza will serve Nasik Dagang!!! Oh my feveret (how many feveret food do I have, actually???)

Hehehe apart of that of course sbb dapat naik bas so that we can pusing2 satu kampung Dakheel Al-Mahdood nih. Now that I dah terlebih terer dari Amet lah kalau nak tanya rumah sapa-sapa kat sini hehehhe...

Makan + Gossiping = Ladies :)

Zuzu & Yaya enjoy themselves here sbb ada banyak toys...Really helps ibu to have great time as well...

HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE

I tak pernah lagi cerita about our hospital or medical experience here kan. Ok let me start now.

1) AS-SHIFAA HOSPITAL.
Okeh yg ni kami pi for our medical check-up utk dapatkan family iqamah. Overall oklah sbb dia just ambik blood and x-ray. Tak byk sgt pengalaman sini. Cuma nak katanya, nampak belengas semacam jek...

2) Pharmacies (AD-DAWAA and others).
Okeh actually I nak focus on few stories je. Dah banyak kali pi farmasi kt sini. Tapi yg paling menarik, masa kami nak carikan DHA supplement for the kids. Since susu Nido yg disukai oleh Zuzu Yaya tu xdek DHA, so we were looking for DHA supplement. Selalunya kat Malaysia ada banyak sgt and very easily available and it just sold as OTC (over-the-counter) product. (Selingan : And me, was one of the R&D yg develop DHA Chewable Tablet for kids (jenama dirahsiakan utk keselamatan diri dan syarikat) suatu masa dulu :))

Tapi malangnya, kat sini all the pharmacies mcm blur giler bila tanya bout DHA. even bila tanya for fish oil pun mcm tak pernah kedengaran kat telinga depa. End up, we decided to discontinue mencari. What we can do, just give more fish in the kids' diet and almonds and honey. That's it.

Oh satu lagi, ada sekali tu we ask for syringe utk mudahkan suap ubat kat anak-anak. So, tengoklah apa dia bagi.....

Hahhaha...ingat I nak cucuk ubat oral kt tangan anak2 I ke? Lawak betoi....

3) KIM'S MEDICAL CENTRE.
Ini hospital swasta. So we really hope dia akan bagi treatment yg amat memuaskan hati. We went there masa Yaya demam. Dapat doctor Philipine. Actually, hari tu was the first day Yaya demam. But the doctor still insist nak buat urine test sbb nak cek is she's into thyroid. Ya la.... kalau lah Yaya tu dh demam for few days, for weeks ke then only I will agree la kan. Ini demam baru satu hari dah nak sample urine. Apa tak belajar hypothesis ke doc nih?

Dah la masa register dah kena bayar, masa nak pi lab kena bayar lagi. But then lepas dapat botol sample, we decided to balik umah jek. Lagipun mana la budak kecik tu mau nak kencing dalam botol tu. They should give another sample container for baby yg selalunya lekat kt dalam pampers tu! Ohhh... so mmg kami balik tanpa dapat apa2 ubat pun. Nasib baik after 2 days, Yaya dah baik. Alhamdulilah...

4) Al-LULU DISPENSARY
Ok we just went there last 3 days and last night :) Hehehe... sounds like the hospital is so attractive, heh. Last 3 days was for Yaya and Amet. Yaya had batuk-batuk with phlegm. Since dah banyak hari bg ubat batuk tp tak baik-baik so i guess maybe she needs antibiotic then. So Yaya was treated by the paed yg agak memuaskan hati I, Dr. Abdullah.

Haa...ubat2 cik Yaya. Nasib baik 2 je yg kena suap. Susah gile nak bagi cik Yaya ni mkn ubat...

And Amet pulak was seeing the dermatologist sbb his skin has become too sensitive to the weather. And they took his blood sample. And he's so happy that he has to come to the hospital again on Monday for the results :) Hehehe...

Zuzu yg x sakit buat2 sakit, Ayah buat loghat. Adik yg betoi2 sakit, membuas...

And last night was for me to see the dentist. I was hit with awful sakit gigi since last few days (I think it has been more than a week!). And I try nak ignore, but I took painkiller everyday. Until yesterday, found mysef in so much horrendous pain, I ask Amet to bring me to the doctor.Th problem is, sakitnya ialah sampai ke bhgian muka, mata dan kepala! Tu yg buat I betul2 tak tahan.

And, I am a person who really hate to see dentist, as they always make my jaws painful, even more painful than the tooth - when they say "Bukakk muluttt!!! Bukak luas-luasss!!!" I hate that.
But last night, the dentist was so soft-spoken, so beautiful some more, make me feel relieved. And she start everything with "Bismillah..." Despite the fact that she cant speak english very well (lucky we have the nurse who translated evrything between me-dentist), i feel satisfied with the services here :)

So we choose to make Al-Lulu as our feveret :) Walaupun agak jauh sikit dari rumah, but we had a great hospital experience here (at least better than other hospitals we've tried in Jubail la..). After-all, the cost are fully paid by the company hehehehe...

MARI BERSENAM!

Ya setelah sekian lama berdiam diri di rumah dan hanya makan, makan n makan, dgn gembiranya I telah naik 2kg!!! Yeahhhh!!! Satu pencapaian yg mengkagumkan!

Maka haruslah mencari solution utk menslimkan diri semula. So marilah bersenam!!!

Kena beli baju dulu sbb tak bawak pun baju sukan dr Mesia (alasan kukuh na...).
Nota : Bukan Nike mahupun Adidas hehehe

Okeh, kat Jubail nih, kalau untuk cik kak dan cik mak (makcik), hari bersenam adalah pada setiap hari Rabu. Kehadiran adalah tidak wajib, dan terbuka kepada sesiapa sahaja. Mcm biasa transpot ialah bas akan jemput depan umah dlm pukul 7.30 pagi (mcm pi sekolah la pulak!).

Tengah tunggu bas kat depan pintu umah sambil makan breakfast roti.
Muka don sbb bangun awai...

Sangat eksaited dapat naik bas. Dari malam asyik tanya bila nak naik bas....

Kat mana nak bersenam tu? Bukanlah dekat tasik atau taman mcm kat Malaysiaku tercinta ye. Kat sini nak bersenam kena pi Sport Centre yg mana akan dibuka khas utk kaum wanita sahaja pada setap hari Rabu. Kat sini boleh guna semua fasiliti - treadmill ke, gym yg angkat berat ke, or nak join aerobik (trainer dia garang okeh...). Or nak main badminton bleh tapi sila bawak raket sendiri.

Ok tang pakaian pulak - hehehehe.. tiada hadnya. pakailah apa yg anda rasa nk pakai. masa ni barulah nampak mak arab punya baju... amboiii.... tapi bila keluar jgn lupa sarung balik abaya :)

Bayaran pulak ialah SR10 utk dewasa. Manakala kanak-kanak ada disediakan nursery kat dalam tu, dekat jek dgn tempat ibu2 excercise dgn bayaran SR5 seorang.

Tapi yg bestnya, geng Jumaa An-nisak ni, dah lepas habis beraerobik, dah main badminton, peluh-peluh, tengok2 lepas tu bukak bekal mee goreng, tat teluq. Mak aii.... camana nak slim nih? Hehehehe....

Oh kamera/henfon takleh bawak masuk. Ada mak guard jaga kat depan, siap raba-raba you... Auwww.....

MUKABUKU

Telah menjadi hakikat, zaman la ni fesbuk a.k.a FB (nama sebenar : Facebook) mmg adalah amat hot. ramai gila org guna fesbuk nih. org gila pun ramai guna fesbuk. tak kira jugak jantina lelaki perempuan mahupun yg tengah2. tak kirajugak usia tua, muda, kanak2, kecuali yg dh habis umur.

Fesbuk ni ada baik, ada buruk. Boleh bg ilmu berguna, boleh bg ajaran sesat. Boleh dapat kawan baru, boleh cerai laki bini. Boleh hubungi adik beradik yg jauh, boleh putuskan hubungan sedara mara. Macam-macam lah kebolehan fesbuk nih.

Takpalah nk guna fesbuk. I pun ada.

Cuma kadang2 pelik sikit bila ada org bincang pasal period/haid/menstrual kt wall dia. Bincang means bincang dgn sgt detail, sampai mcm nampak seolah2 dia sedang "menyelak kain sendiri". Sedih.

Sbb bila dia tulis situ semua org termasuk laki org lain, ustaz, cikgu lelaki, pakcik2, abg2 bujang, semua pun baca. Bukanlah I nak kata org lelaki tak boleh ambik tau pasal ni, cuma "membincangkan tentang haid diri sendiri di khalayak berserta muka hang terpampang di profile picture tu" mcm... isk... tak berapa sesuai kot.... Paling tidak pun gunalah PM atau Inbox.

Ada byk lagi tempat yg sesuai nak bincang maybe pi forum-forum room yg byk sgt kt internet nih (contoh : www.melayu.com - Bhgn. Keluarga & Rumahtangga).

Kebetulan ada sikit perbualan antara I dan Amet masa minum2 kopi semalam.

Amet : Ibu, please dont ever write your FB status yg melugai mcm ni (sambil tunjuk FB dia ada org tulis "I'm so proud I have super perfect, supergood, superhensem husband and supercute daughter")

Yue : Hahaha... I will write it now.

Amet : Damn!!!

Yue : Eleh, tu ok lagi. Ada org tulis "SMS dr suami : Syg tulis list apa saja brg syg nak beli.Nanti kita pi Jusco abg bayarkan semuanya. Seluar dalam, baju dalam. Semua."

Amet : Biaq betoi? Friend ibu ka?

Yue : I just remove her from my friend list. Ridiculous. She was x-schoolmate tp I dont really remember her anyway.

Amet : Klearrr!!!

Yue : Hari tu abg mop lantai n cuci toilets, ayg ingat nak boh status "Oh my beloved hubby @Azmieq Saili just help me mencuci 2 buah toilet, dan mengemop seluruh lantai rumah dgn gagahnya. I love him so much."

Amet : Hahahaha...please la ibu. If ibu tulis mcm tu, abg halau dok luaq! Ibu kena tulis "Memang sejak dulu dari sehari selepas kahwen sampailah dah beranak pinak mmg suami saya saja lah yg kerja mencuci semua toilet tak kira sejak rumah sewa mahupun sampai Arab Saudi." Hahahaha...

Yue : Cehhhh... takdak masa nak tulis2 aih...

Well, kalau setakat status2 mcm tu, ok lagi la nk letak. At least boleh jadi pembakar semangat utk husband2 lain tolong buat keja umah jugak. Walaupun kdg2 mungkin ada org rasa berbulu bila ada org lain puji2 laki dia dlm FB. Tapi as I said, masih boleh diterima walaupun.... *muntah hijau*

Cumanya, I just feel... that sesetengah benda mmg patut di"private"kan. Terutama benda2 dalam kain, hal suami-isteri (yang tuut tuut) dan sebagainya.

Hmmmm... tulis dlm blog ok sikit kot sbb x ramai sgt org baca... kan?kan?kan? Heh....

So sempena Awal Muharam 1432 ini, I nak jugak ambik kesempatan...

"I Ingin Memohon Maaf if any of my writings hurt any of you guys...
I didn't mean to, blog ini just ialah luahan perasaan sendiri jek.
Please forgive me..Salam Maal Hijrah to all..."

ROOF-TOP-MORNING COFFEE

Oh I just come back from having fun with the ladies! Ahhaa... I loikee..!!!

Persatuan Wanita2 Malaysia kat Jubail ni, or lebih dikenali as Jumaa An-nisak telah mengadakan a morning coffee gathering kt atas bumbung rumah Kak Maeshta & Kak Ros this morning. Haa kat sini mmg biasa buat makan2 n majlis kt atas bumbung rumah (roof-top) sbb kat arab mostly rumah2 semuanya takdek atap zink/genting mcm kt Malaysia. Pakai simen jek, dan rata. So blehlah nk melompat ke, berjoget ke, main bola pun boleh.

Memandangkan the event ialah in the morning, time encik Amet (dan para suami yg lain) pergi keja, maka kami ialah menaiki bas/van yg disewa. Bus Shanu (nama drebar feveret Jumaa An-nisak) menjemput me, Zuzu n Yaya kat depan umah at 8 am. Zuzu n Yaya are so excited lah dapat naik bas!

This jamuan jugak ialah utk meraikan Kak Siti yg akan pulang ke Malaysia for good, which means husband dia dh taknak keja sini dh. So the majlis start with bacaan doa selamat utk Kak Siti. Then continue with .... eating time!!! There were lots of food - nasik lemak, mee rebus, bihun goreng, kuih muihsss, and mcm-mcm... I really had my great time to membuncitkan perut!!!

*Bukan gambar sebenar* Gambar akan diuploadkan kemudian :)

Oh of course part yg paling best ialah chit-chating over the coffee! Dah mmg namanya majlis pompuan, mmg gawat la with all the gossips, pingan-mangkuk-talks and so. At one corner, ada cik kak yg tgh ajar para juniors where to get to Abaya's centre. While another group is planning for "kutu". Another group plak dok plan nk buat rombongan shopping without men. Hehehe.... and I just enjoying myself getting berkenalan with more new friends (kdg2 dh byk kali jumpa/ nampak muka tp taktau nama).

Oh oh and I just get to know that I have Malaysian jiran which just few blocks away jek. Dekat sangat2 dgn umah I tp selama ni taktau pun I ada jiran Malaysian. Nampak sgt takleh keluar umah. It so good to know that I have Kak Jah, Kak Shikin, Kak Lon, Kak Maz, Kak Na, and Azizah near to me. Bukan apa, if in case of emergency or what kan, nk mintak tolong kt mak2 arab ni bukannya depa mau layan sgt. Jiran sebelah umah I ni, muka dia pun I tak pernah nampak, mcm mana???

Majlis ends at 11.15 am (ni dh dekat masuk Zohor). Since Shanu is already waiting, so kami pun balik. It such a joy to have the so-called just-ladies' entertainment time :)

HANTU PULUT

Oh ada orang nak datang umah! Gelabah! Tak pernah okey... rumah I ni ada tetamu hahahaha.... Asyik kami je jalan ke umah orang. Ada kawan Amet, family dia baru datang from Malaysia. So saja la nak berkenal-kenalan. Jemputlah ke pondok buruk kami yg serba kekurangan ni....

Plus, Amet invite sekali 2 orang geng umah bujang dia dulu. Dah alang-alang I nak masak kan... bukan senang I nak masak lebih mcm ni hehehe...

Maka apakah menunya... hmm simple2 jek lah... Maklumlah umah I ni xde jiran yg boleh tolong siang bawang ke apa, semua I buat sendiri, all alone huwaaa....

Oh ada satu lagi - Karipap Pusing. Tapi ntah lupa pulak nk snap gambar dia. Kesian...

Ada kisah kuih lopes tu. Mula-mula I mmg buat utk tetamu yg nak datang umah. Tp ada la dlm 1/4 talam tu, cik Zuzu & Yaya yg telan. Nasib la buat agak banyak jugak. Elok-elok jek kuih tuh, habis licin.

Semalam, I kan nak gi kelas mengaji. Biasanya kami bawak lah pot-luck sorang sikit utk makan2 sembang2 lepas kelas (part paling best hehehe). So I buat lagi sekali kuih lopes ni memandangkan I ada sgt banyak beras pulut, and kebetulan nyuq kukuq (grated coconut) pun ada lagi.

Masa pulut baru masak, Zuzu dh asyik dok tanya "Ibu, pulut dah siap ke? Kakak nk makan"

Ok, so bg dia makan pulut (yg tak dibentuk pun). So I continue buat kuih lopes dapatlah dalam 15 bijik utk bawak pi kelas.

Sekali, bila dah tiba time makan, cik Zuzu ni bedal lagi 3 bijik kuih lopes tu! Adoiii... malu betoi, ibu bawak utk kawan-kawan ibu, dia pulak yg sapu bersih. Zuzu is memang the very Hantu Pulut!

JANDA BAIK

Ada 2 kisah tentang Janda Baik ni.

1. Kisah gossip terhangat kat Malaysia masa kini, tentang cinta (atau tak cinta I taktaulah) yg mula berputik di tempat bernama Janda Baik, Pahang. Hmmm... utk kawan-kawan kt luar negara yg mungkin kadang2 ter"miss" cerita2 hangat di Malaysia, boleh lah baca kisah detail di SINI. Oh sekian, I tak bleh tulis banyak2 kot tak pasal2 ada helikopter ISA parking kt tingkap umah I plak :)

2. Kisah seorang sahabat sebaya yg telah menjadi ibu tunggal dgn 4 orang anak. Dan I menganggap dia seorang janda yg amat baik (maaf, guna perkataan ni sbb nak sesuaikan dgn tajuk). Kebetulan pula merupakan schoolmate dgn Amet kt KISAS. I bukan berniat nak malukan dia, atau menjatuhkan maruah dia dgn memaparkan kisahnya di sini. Tetapi, kekuatan jiwanya, ketahanan mentalnya, keutuhan fizikalnya membuatkan I "nampak" tentang kehidupan. Yang paling I kagumi, cintanya pada Yang Maha Pencipta adalah tidak berbelah bahagi. Walaupun kelihatan seperti separuh badannya hancur lebur, tapi jiwanya Subhanallah.... hidup bersemarak dgn cinta kasih pada Allah SWT. Bacalah, kisah ukhti dgn 4 Muhammadnya di SINI, semoga kisah hidupnya menjadi peringatan buat kita (terutama I) yg selalu alpa dgn dunia....

Sekian.

ASIAN GROCERIES

Weekend ni jadual agak berbeza. Awal-awal pagi lagi dah keluar. Biasanya tunggu lepas Asar baru jalan. Tapi semalam, pukul 10 pagi dah kt highway. Hala tuju minggu ni ialah Lulu Hypermarket utk beli Asian groceries.

Nasib baik ada trolley ni, bolehla ibu belek-belek barang lama-lama sikit...

Maka inilah barang-barang HOT yg amat diidam-idamkan....

Daun pandan, lengkuas, daun limau purut, limau nipis dan cilipadi thai.

Disebabkan pagi tadi tak breakfast, maka semua amat kelaparan, maka ke Malaysian Kitchen lagi sekali. hehehe... sejak dah terer jalan celah-celah pekan Khobar ni, laju jek sampai Malaysian Kitchen ceewaahhh.... Maka makan Kueteow Goreng (lagi!) dan Mee Jawa.

Plan asalnya lepas pi Lulu, nak rushing balik Jubail sbb nak pi piknik waktu petang kt beach. Maklumla... selalu piknik time malam so x pernah nampak the real beach. Now since cuaca dah sejuk, maka haruslah piknik di waktu siang pulak. Sekarang ni nak piknik time Zohor pun takpe hehehe... Matahari mmg ada, tp anginnya mak aii..... macam dok dlm freezer!

Disebabkan lepak dgn amat layan kt Malaysian Kitchen, so kami sampai Jubail dh pukul 4 petang. Singgah 15 minit kt umah utk solat Asar dan hantar barang (ada beli daging maka tidak boleh berada dlm kereta kesayangan encik Amet lama-lama ye).

Actually kt sini pukul 5 dah masuk Maghrib. Tapi kegatalan kami tidak dapat dihalang utk nak tengok jugak beach di waktu petang. Walaupun matahari mmg dok nampak-nampak dah sedang membenamkan diri. Maka sampailah beach kui 4.45 mcm tu. Jalan 2-3 langkah, azan dh berkumandang. Pak pandiaq sungguh.

Kakak jek sempat snap, tak aci...

Kalau org tua-tua kita cakap "tak baik jalan waktu Maghrib, nanti dicekup hantu". Maksudnya, dia nak suruh kita balik solat Maghrib dulu... Hehehe.... tapi kat sini orang solat dimana-mana. Ada yg solat atas pasir pantai, ada yg atas rumput tepi jalan, ada kt atas tikar piknik... Maka tak kisah nak jalan pukul berapa, waktu mana, asalkan solat tetap didahulukan.

Lepas solat, lepak sat jek bagi Zuzu Yaya main-main. Pastu gerak le nak ke pasar beli ikan pulak. Hmmm... sayur dah beli pagi-pagi, ikan pulak yg beli malam-malam... Lepas tu balik la tgok tv kat umah, while makcik yg rajin ni masak nasik ayam walaupun dah kul 9 malam! Sejuk-sejuk gini mcm malas pulak nk lepak lama-lama kt luar, sakit urat! Dah tua makcik....

* PRAM * STROLLER * BUGGY *

Sejak dahulukala, ketika Zuzu dilahirkan, stroller plays a big role for kami yg amat suka berjalan dan tak reti duduk diam ni. Yet, we just got the cheapest one available in the market. The very first one was the Sweet Cherry that we bought from Tesco. And I still clearly remember that the price was about RM180+-. Itu pun me n Amet dah terketaq-ketaq tangan. Life at that time was quite hard for us. Still, we tried to give the best for Zuzu. Alhamdulillah... stroller murah tu amat berkualiti, kuat dan tahan walaupun ditolak atas batu, bukit, rumput and of course shopping malls. And Zuzu always found sleeping soundly in there :)

Zuzu at 6 months in SweetCherry, Ibu ketika muda :)

When I found myself pregnant of Yaya, and Zuzu was about 1 year plus, we bought a buggy for her because i want to keep the SweetCherry for Yaya. And this new buggy is from Tenderly, and even cheaper. It was just RM79!!! Alhamdulillah... this buggy also banyak sgt berjasa for us. Until one fine day, we left it in One Utama's parking. And that was the very last day we use the Tenderly. :(

*Gambar pun x sempat ambik dgn Tenderly Buggy nih sob sob *

Being living a hard and tough life at that time, I tak mampu nak belikan expensive, branded prams for my kids. I admit, bila jalan2 kat shopping mall, I keep my eyes watching those mothers proudly pushing their Quinny, Chicco, Maclaren and Combi. Those yg ada kids that close in age mcm Zuzu n Yaya are proudly using Phil& Teds that simply cost 4000 bucks! And I just left watching them, and always wish that I have stylish pram like that. I do have the "prams envy". Pity me.

And bila nak datang sini, I langsung tak terlintas nk bawak any stroller. As I thought "anak-anak dah besar" hehehe. So, masa kat airport tu, mmg merasa lah bila Yaya buat perangai and I terpaksa dukung dia yg amat berat itu. Rasa mcm nak cari kedai beli time2 tu jugak! But then, bila sampai sini, niat nak beli stroller tu terpadam gitu jek. Sebab bila jalan2 kt mall, selalunya ada kereta tolak for rental tu, or bila beli groceries, depa just masuk dlm trolley. So mcm so-so jek keperluannya.

Sampailah last week, bilamana ibu ayah nak berjalan, and the kids baru lepas demam, so semua mcm asyik x larat jek. Actually, awal2 lg kami dh rent the baby car tu. Tapi bila cik Yaya dah tertido, camana nak letak dlm tu? Maka barulah terasa betapa perlu dan pentingnya ada stroller. Setelah disurvey, jumpalah satu Chicco on sale. Harga ialah SR480++. Tapi sgt kecik and lgpun tinggal yg display jek. Mcm sh nak hancur bekas dipegang2 org. Amat x berpatutan dgn harganya.

Went to Mamas& Papas, which i tought might have a cheaper ones. Rupa-rupanya sini semua start dgn "thousand" ryals. Amboihhh.... kaya-kaya belaka ke pak arab nih. Range adalah from SR1000+ to SR7000+. Giler!!! Call me a cheapskate i dont mind. But i would not spend thousands for just a chair with wheels. I can make it on my own! heheheh...

Then, come the salesman said that one of it was having sales. So we ask him to kira harga, and it just left about SR450+. Ok good!!! Actually, I still buat muka masam sbb it's still too pricey for me. I was looking for SR200 punya. But encik Amet said, it is sangat berbaloi sbb harga actual dia sgt mahal and we get it at less than half price. Hmmm.... oklah..... encik Amet yg sgt pemurah hati pun membayar....

I bukan apa, dah biasa hidup susah, tak biasa dgn benda-benda mahal mcm ni. And I want my kids to live a moderate live. Supaya depa rasa mcmana org lain yg hidup susah. And not to hidup berlimpahkan kemewahan sejak kecik lagi. Huhuhu... so "makcik" am I?

So we got this Cybex Ruby in Chilli. Hmmm...me not very familiar with this brand. So I go back and google. So lega that the review says :

"Comparable to the Maclaren Volo, the Cybex Ruby is one of the lightest strollers on the market. Like other super lightweight buggies, the Cybex Ruby is no frill without alot of features. While it doesn't officially have a recline, it does have rest position. It is sleek and stylish and absolutely perfect for travel or throwing in the back of the car for quick errands.

The Ruby is a perfect stroller for travel or just for those days you need to run out with your child on a quick jaunt. It is slim on features which makes is super light in weight. The Ruby has rear wheel suspension and a lightweight aluminum frame. It also comes with a canopy, storage basket and rain cover. It is fun and functional for when you are on the go!"

Yaya tidoq lena tanpa amukan dalam buggy baru....

Note : Please, never think that 2 years is "dah besar" okeh. I mean, yes mmg dia besar dan sgt berat. But doesnt mean dah besar and boleh berfikir mcm org besar, where you can say "Adik jgn tido lagi ye...". No, a 2-years will sleep when they feel sleepy, anywhere anytime. A stroller is a need.
