an apple a day keeps the doctor away..

this is zach..

give him an apple, he will finished it all to himself..no sharing..na-AH!..tapi by the time seketul buah tu habis will be like 7....8pm at nite lah!..from lunch!..he will mamah that poor apple like there's no tomorrow and refuse his milk or anything else, macam dah takde apple lain dalam dunia ni.
what else about my lil rascal ni? and yes..already started to walk (mcm org mabuk..heheh) like 2 weeks ago..tatih2 since he was about 10+ mons.Food intake, he eats anything under the sun, i think tolak batu-kayu-benda2 haram je kot, refuses baby's food..prefers home cook food,with no blending. so far, assam pedas and budu are his top favourite on the list yang berjela jela ni.
Back to 'the' apple story, yesterday..after his afternoon milk he started to 'ratah' the apple,sampai mata kuyu kuyu nak terkulai pun still continue meratah..then siap baring on the carpet..face on the floor..but hand..still pegang apple..5 minutes later..gone to la-la land while apple rested right next to his FACE,mama biarkan..after 3 hours nap..bangun,..still mamai mamai terus masuk balik apple dlm mulut and munching happily :)
lawaknya! but i guess dia tengah gatal gusi for he just got his 3rd upper tooth last week.
ENJOY THE APPLE DEAR ZACH

semoga mak panjang umur,murah rezeki dan sentiasa dalam keadaan sihat selalu.
same goes to my mak batulaut, semoga dilimpahi rahmat dari allah dan dikurniakan tubuh badan yang sihat.
We miss u loads!

here, in the UK..it is called the 'mothering sunday'... something that has got to do with
Christianity.
Awal awal dah remind my Aishah, tak payah celebrate bagai, as long as you carry my heart with you and doakan yang indah indah for mama and papa, itu dah cukup buat bekalan akhirat nanti.
For at times you make us proud,..her nursery teacher said to me one day.. 'you know mrs zaki,aishah,.. we are very please with her..for she came from a strong family background..always talks about her family..her parents and little brothers..she is genuine about her thoughts towards her family and also the public..bla..bla..bla about her school progress whatsoever'-alhamdulillah-
haaa..mak mana tak kembang tak gitu??

facts on mothers day,


In the U.S. Mothers' Day is a holiday celebrated on second Sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers. First observance in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1907, it is based on suggestions by Julia Ward Howe in 1872 and Anna Jarvis in 1907.

Although it wasn't celebrated in the U.S. until 1908, there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient Greece. In those days, however, it was Rhea, the Mother of the gods that was given honor.

Later, in the 1600's, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday." It was celebrated during Lent, on the fourth Sunday. On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion.

In the U.S., in 1908 Ana Jarvis, from Grafton, West Virginia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the anniversary of her mother's death. A memorial service was held there on May 10, 1908 and in Philadelphia the following year where Jarvis moved.

Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. They were successful. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.

Many other countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year. Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May, as in the U.S.

a sudden rush..


...inside me longing to eat rice pudding..yesterday bought an instant one at sainsbury..not bad..tapi lagi puas if buat sendiri ..here are the recipe, the basic rice pudding..senang tak ingat! :)

2 1/2 cups (600 ml) of whole milk
1/3 cup (66 grams) of long or short grain white rice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup (50 grams) dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/3 cup (40 grams) raisins

1 In a medium heavy bottomed saucepan, combine milk, rice and salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

2 In a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg and brown sugar until well mixed. Add a half cup of the rice mixture - a Tablespoon at a time - beating to incorporate.

3 Add egg mixture back into the saucepan of rice and milk and stir, on low heat, for 10 minutes or so, until thickened. Be careful not to have the mixture come to a boil at this point. Stir in the vanilla. Remove from heat and stir in the raisins and cinnamon.

Serve warm or cold.

Serves 2-3.

to all my yummy mummies out there..selamat menerai!

body rehab

seriously i think its time for me to get one of these, instead of getting the round one mcm bola tu..yang ini easier to balance and tone up. Bila umur nak meningkat angka '3'...(a year more to go..not so miles away ey?)mula la mcm2 baru nak ingat, bila dah anak 4..baru ingat nak tone my body parts yang mana dah kembang kembong ni :) although i rasa body ni maintain so-so untuk mummy anak 4..but definitely certain part needs to be adjust.wish me luck!

my fake baby

u have got to check this out..look at these pictures..it looks so real..nasib baik la kita ni orang islam and kumpul anak2 patung ni memanglah tak boleh kan..if not rasanya i dah order all my babies replica kot?!
memang kat sini there are collectors of what they call it 'reborn' babies ni..read the artical below;

My Fake Baby explores the lives of women who spend hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of pounds on life-like baby dolls. Known as "reborns" some of the dolls have beating hearts, others have tiny veins and even milk spots. Loved like real babies, they're taken for walks, cuddled and even have their nappies changed. Doll designer Jaime - a mother of four - now fulfils the dreams of other women by engineering babies to their specifications in her front room. Adoptive "mums" include women with grown-up children, grandmothers living away from their grandchildren and women who have left it too late to have their own babies. My Fake Baby delves into an extraordinary pursuit which, although bizarre to some, brings great rewards to the women involved.

i just find it interesting..whats more the talent that she has and developed over the years in producing fake babies..memula as a hobby,..lama2 when it gets so REAL..collectors started ordering from her and her business expands..gila kan..yesterday in Richard and Judy minah ni cakap she was all booked up till 2009!!
believe me..i have seen lots of fake baby sites and stuffs..but believe me..minah ni buat mmg REAL,hehe..just amazed by her talent..ada gak ppl as talented as her..nasib la saya ni islam..takat tengok suka2 jelah..nak buat hobby tak boleh rite?
for you peeps out there...check her 'reborn' baby web by Jaime Eaton.

by the way..ini fake baby saya..hehe..nama dia 'zach yushua notty' yang suka sangat panjat panjat apa saja object yang boleh dipanjat..almost 11 mons now,gigi 2 btg, stop giving him soother at 9+ haritu for tak nak gigi dia tumbuh kelam kabut, nasib baik at 9 mons tu..he himself yg stopkan sendiri..bila nak bagi..he tolak..hahaha..senang kerja i, feed himself anything and everything he could reach..umpama tolak batu and kayu je..senang lagi kerja mama cause what we eat is what he gets..he even likes to eat rice with 'budu' and tapai as dessert:) bagus bagus...
happy viewing!!
