Iftar buffet : Concorde Inn KLIA

salam Ramadhan...

macam tahun2 lepas, mmg we all akan try buffet ramadhan kat mana2, saje nak bawak budak2 ni... this year, we tried Concorde Inn KLIA sbb DH ckp ada orang bgtau, makanan sedap... ku ikut je... we all pegi pada puasa ke-8 (sabtu 28/7/12).

we all keluar rumah pukul 6+, sampai situ dah pukul 7, so terus duduk meja and start amik makanan... kali ni, Fatini & Haziq semangat makan sebab diorang puasa kan.. selalu rugi je bawak makan buffet!

Daddy and the kids..

diorang makan sate & nasik impit, and nasik minyak...
kuih2 pon ok jugak la, ada kek, ada cream puff (yg ku teringin tp lupa nak makan huhuhu), eclairs, puding etc

Hafiy dalam infant seat, tp letak atas kerusi..

Hafiy dok dalam infant carseat, tp tak bawak stroller (bijak kan??) sib baik dapat kerusi extra so letak dia atas kerusi tu.. mula2 diorang tanak bagik extra kerusi sbb tak cukup.. ciss..
and dia ok je tido dlm tu, kejap2 bangun mintak susu, but most of the time, mummy can enjoy makan la.. heheheh



mummy & abang Haziq

hmm... mummy masih dalam 'pantang' so agak-agak jugak la makan tu huhuh... bleh caya ke? lol

kakak & abang Ayish

macam biasa, juara makan adalah Ayish... makan nasik, red velvet cake abis sepotong, non-stop mengunyah apa je orang lain makan...

Hafiy pon 'buka puasa' jugak..

 si kenit ni pon nak 'mamam' gak... thanks to the babywearing, mummy bleh BF Hafiy discreetly and can continue to eat hihih

lentok..

dah makan, sambung tido dlm RS... mummy sambung makan lagi sampai licin meja hehehhe

senang carry Hafiy dalam ringsling je..

nak balik daaa... okay lah, food not too bad... kami ni jarang gi makan2 buffet ni. Tu yang bulan puasa ambik kesempatan ber'buffet' sebagai 'upah' utk anak2 yg puasa... jadi nye, kami tatau la nak 'rate' kan buffet sedap ke tak... rasa biasa je... janji perut kenyang. Actually banyak gak makanan including, kambing bakar, ayam bakar, udang bakar, segala mee, sup gear-box, asam pedas melaka, rojak, spaghetti & pasta, deserts etc... tp aku tak makan semua, rasa sikit2 je, lagi pon masih beringat yang diri masih 'berpantang' hehehhe tak nak la 'pantang nampak' pulak...

tempat solat, dekat je dengan tempat makan, tp sure sesak punye... aku masih belum boleh solat, so tatau camne keadaan surau... tp alhamdulillah ada tempat nak bersolat, jangan pulun makan, solat maghrib entah ke mana... tu yang kami susah nak berbuka di luar, kena pilih tempat yang senang nak solat, kalau tak, buka and solat dulu kat rumah, lepas tu baru pegi makan..

dah kenyang, jom balik...

now kami berenam... alhamdulillah... terima kasih Allah atas rezeki-Mu...

Babywearing - RS: Sakura Bloom Dupioni Silk

i have tried Aja's Sakura Bloom Dupioni silk RS (ginger/champagne from essential silk series) -- TT'(temporary trade)'ed with my Apootaern RS. Thanks Aja..

when i first received it, i was ''terkesima' looking at the gorgeousness.. sangat lawa and exclusive.. now i know why some says silk is for special occasion... and the colour is pretty.....

but the fabric agak 'kejung' but not papery stiff, tapi kejung lah.. isk susah mau explain... i thought silk supposed to be soft, 'drop & silky' grrr i donno how to explain ..

i've tried this twice, jalan2 luar rumah and jalan2 kat Jusco after our dinner on the same day...

memula tried, mmg BEST.. very sturdy for a heavy kiddo... the feeling mmg best lah... weightless..

shoulder -- it's gathered, i can do gathered but i just dont really heart it!!

easy to thread, no problem at all.. it's not slippery
but i wrapped the rings with the tail because like i said earlier, the fabric is 'kejung' so the tail macam kembang semangkuk semacam.. and the tail quite short but OK to me (length is approx 71" -- mmg Aja beli pendek ye Aja??).

ni gamba tail wrapped around the rings. Takde plak gamba tail lepas ke bawah, blame my 'daddy'razzi who focused on mummy & baby but the slings grrr....

it's quite wide, tp still OK...
that it's reversible.. i can opt to ginger and show off a lil bit of champagne colour or vice versa...

haaa ini bokti nye... my 'daddy'razzi just focused muka model je... orang nak suruh amik gamba RS yang chantek itu....
the shoulder, maybe better if i could get it higher and spread the sewn part for some padding-effect ehh??

okay, the same night we went out for dinner, (ingatkan dinner only so just bring this RS), tp after dinner decided plak nak merewang dalam Jusco... so i carried my sleeping baby in this RS... aiyoooo sakit pinggang laaa... cos he was in a T2T position.. and i was trying to balance him sum more... but surprisingly, shoulder not too bad laaa (despite it was one-shouldered sling), but with gathered shoulder, my hand movement is restricted.. and he was practically in a front carrying position, susah sket la mau handsfree pilih2 barang...

but my backache is DEFINITELY not to blame the RS... but blame my 16mo DS2 then (weighed around 10kg i think).... i wish i could try this with smaller baby... mesti syiokk!!!

all in all... i HEART this silk RS....
thanks for lending me this beauty Aja....

Babywearing - Symphuo RS

This is Emiza's..
Her wraps and WC RS (wrap conversion ringsling) tengah jalan2 sbb tuanpunya nye sedang berbadan dua...

so, untung jugak dapat merasa carrier orang.. kan kan kan...

This RS is made of Girasol wrap - Symphuo...
converted by Syaz of Jumpsacbaby..

I LOVE THE COLOURS soooo much...
being a wrap fabric, it's really supportive. Padded shoulder is a bonus, so i love it to every bit!

BUT, it's too long for me cos of the tapered end...

but still I LOVE IT!!!

I use it this morning to the playground.
Carried Faries up & down the hill & stairs for more than 30minutes i guess, and surprisingly, i dint get the shoulder pain... wowww best best.. but will try to carry him longer to see if it's really a wonder one-shouldered carrier hehehhe


off to the playground...

cameraman i memang suka amik gamba yang gini-gini... artistik kata nye... bantai je lah... (dia nak amik kan gamba pon dah cukup bagus hihihi)

close-up

shielding Faris from the sun... and showing off the true colours of Symphuo

babywearing + mummy & baby moment = PRICELESS

my family....

Thanks Emiza for the opportunity...
Ni yang terasa 'gatal' tangan nak ada WC RS plak nih.. isk isk isk...
well, i still have time to really use & love this RS before passing it to the next person - mamashmontel...

p/s do join us @ MalaysianBabyWearers.............

Apootaern custom RS

hi all.. i donno why lately i'm soooo obsessed dgn babywearing nih... and i've been buying one after another!!
this is another one... Apootaern Linen RS that i grabbed during their 25% off promotion...

Why am getting another RS?
saje gatal2 would be the first answer kot hehhe

well, FYI, 1st RS aku was Jumpsac Linen RS... i love it sooo much!! It was a great carrier and since then i never turn back from babywearing!

During Mamapatch's promotion, i wanted to have their silk RS.. so i got one! And the best of all -- i got it for FREE (baca sini)!!

And during Apootaern's promotion, i got this double linen RS!
and BEST of all, it was custom-made for me!!! THANKS A ZILLION to Kak Faten... dia sanggup layan aku, tolong amikkan gamba combo yang aku kenan, tolong bagik advise... uhhh Thanks kak Faten, muahhsss ;)
Considered aku nye special tau, sbb rase nye ni RS dia yang first ropa macam ni (betoi ka kak Faten??)

so... ini lah dia...
'HIBISCUS GROOVE' - Light Cream on Persian Indigo; tail accent Fuschia, Cherry Blossom & Asparagus....


(pic credit to kak Faten, yang selalu menunggu sang suria keluar untuk snap gambar)

GOOD JOB, Kak Faten... it's really gorgeous!!!

tau je dah sampai kat rumah Isnin tu, terus la terkinja-kinja nak balik try.. (kena try before DH balik supaya tak banyak 'komen' nanti hehhe)

nicely folded & packed with love...

can you smell the 'crispness'?? Fresh from the packet...

shoulder style: Unpadded pleated gathered shoulder
i'm spoilt with padded shoulder, but this type is ok too...
janji pandai 'susun2' or gather the fabric so that ada 'padded effect' sket..

the tail accent

one thing about linen, dia berkedut2.. but u can steam iron..
aku?? tak kisah pon.. pakai je hehehe malas punye pasal
and linen will soften upon use & abuse.. i like...

RS ni lebar, so bagus untuk craddle carry bigger/longer baby esp utk BF.

tapi bila hip carry or tummy 2 tummy, leceh sket sebab fabric tu lebar, so aku akan kinda lipat2 (atau kumpul2) kain belah atas and bawah so jadik padding utk belakang baby & kaki dia...

my verdict:

suka suka suka...

colour combo nampak very exclusive!!

thanks kak Faten :D
