They were such a lovely couple........and they live happily ever after ~~ NOT!!

Baru2 ini, my best friend told me that lecturer kesayangan I masa di USM dulu dah bercerai dengan isterinya. Agak terkejut sewaktu mendengar cerita penceraian itu sebab pasangan itu bolehlah di katakan 'pasangan sehati sejiwa sama cantik sama padan'. Lecturer I dan wife nya tu, sama2 belajar di luar negara dan bila balik Malaysia sama2 berkhidmat untuk USM. Lecturer I tu boleh di katakan agak handsome lah jugak, muka chinese look, kulit cerah dan sangat stylish orangnya. Isterinya pulak tinggi lampai, body macam model, senyuman manis dan sopan santun lemah lembut, memenuhi ciri2 perempuan melayu terakhir gitu.


"you two make such a lovely couple"
Itulah pujian yang selalu kami berikan setiap kali terserempak dengan pasangan ini. Bukanlah puji depan2 diorang, tapi belakang2 lah hehe. Setiap kali melihat pasangan ini berjalan beriringan di kampus, terus terbit rasa kekaguman sebab rasa macam baca novel ~ orang handsome kahwin dengan orang cantik~. Pemikiran masa tu tak matang lagi kan, segala2nya tentang rupa saja. Maklum sajalah, selalunya pasangan yang kami jumpa mesti berbeza dari segi paras rupa; "kalau wife cantik biasanya dapat husband tak handsome...kalau husband kacak pulak biasanya dapat wife yang rupa biasa2 saja"--> itu pemikiran I & kawan2 I masa umur awal 20-an dulu2 lah ngeeeeeee.


Punca penceraian memanglah tidak di ketahui tapi jauh di sudut hati I dan kwan2, terfikir2 jugak lah apa agaknya yang membuatkan mereka mengambil keputusan untuk berpisah. Agak sedih jugak mendengar berita ini sebab mereka dah pun di kurniakan cahaya mata, kesian anak kecil yang tak mengerti apa2 tu kan.


Secara tidak lansung, perasaan risau turut terdetik di hati I. Usia perkahwinan hubby & I baru memasuki 2 tahun. Dalam tempoh ini, masih banyak yang kami perlu menyesuaikan diri dengan peel dan perangai masing2.


Daisypath - Personal pictureDaisypath Anniversary tickers



Everybody clearly understands the rules of "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus"; tapi bukan semua orang mampu mengingatkan diri sendiri tentang perbezaan sifat lelaki dan perempuan. Bukan senang bagi dua orang yang berbeza jantina dan personaliti untuk hidup bersama melainkan ada sifat tolak ansur antar satu sama lain.

"Women Always Worry About The Things That Men Forget

Men Always Worry About The Things That Women Remember"


Itu status yang I cilok dari seorang kawan di wall FB nya. Masa membaca status tu, I tersenyum sorang2 dan setuju dengan kata2 itu. Kita orang perempuan ni kan, selalu komplen yang laki kita tak ingat tarikh birthday kita lah, tak ingat nak beli hadiah birthday kita lah, tak ingat nak celebrate birthday kita lah, lupa tarikh annivessary, lupa tarikh tunang, lupa tarikh declare, lupa tarikh 1st date, lupa macamana boleh jumpa dan banyakkkkkkkkkkkk lagi lah yang dia lupa. *apsal contoh bitrhday je sampai 4 ayat?....ngeeee, lu pikirlah sendiri :p*.


Orang lelaki pulak, dah tahu itu lah yang penting bagi isteri dia..boleh buat tak tahu lagi kan. Padahalnya, tiap2 tahun si isteri merajuk kan hal yang sama, tapi tetaplah tak ambil apa2 tindakan untuk mengelakkan perkara itu terjadi lagi. Tiap2 tahun ada je tarikh2 yang terlupa, padahal organizer kat handphone bukan main canggih..untuk set kan buat reminder isk3x.


Berbalik pada persoalan lovely couple tadi, jelaslah di sini bahawa pasangan sama cantik sama padan tak semestinya kekal bahagia. Dah banyak contoh orang kacak-orang cantik bercerai berai yang kita dah dengar sebelum ini kan. *dalam minda terus tergambar wajah Yusry & Erra Fazira ....haisy*.
Malah sebenarnya, cabaran lebih besar buat pasangan sama cantik sama padan kerana dalam diri masing2 tertanam rasa ego dan bangga dengan kurniaan wajah pinjaman sementara dari Allah. Dalam diri barangkali terdetik rasa bahawa dia punya 'market value' yang tinggi, kalau satu pergi..sepuluh datang tau!.

Untuk menyemai kasih berpanjangan antara suami isteri, I rasa buku The 5 Love Language by Dr. Gary Chapman ada tips yang boleh di amalkan. Malahan, blog SaifulIslam turut menyarankan The 5 Love Languages ini di amalkan pada anak2 juga.

  1. Words of Affirmation

    Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. --> "masa bercinta tiap2 kali nak letak phone cakap I LOVE YOU, lepas kahwin?..hohohoho"

  2. Quality Time

    Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful.--> "sorang duk sibuk main FB, sorang lagi pulak sibuk baca SkySports, hohohoho"

  3. Receiving Gifts

    A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous—so would the absence of everyday gestures.--> "tak semestinya bracelet COACH, tapi apa2 hadi"ah pun takpe..asalkan ada effort yang menunjukkan anda menghargai pasangan anda..ehem ehem ehem"

  4. Acts of Service

    Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an “Acts of Service” person will speak volumes. --> "sama2 kemas rumah jadi rumahku syurgaku..barulah seronok nak melepak di rumah"

  5. Physical Touch

    Hugs, pats on the back, holding hands, and thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulder, or face—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. --> "kalau keluar jalan2 tu, kalau boleh pegang tangan je sentiasa..barulah feeling romantik tu berkekalan....ceeeewah"

# taken from 5lovelanguages.com #


" Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale ".
But fairy tales wont occurs everyday, sebab tu teori yang mengatakan pasangan sama cantik sama padan kekal bahagia sampai hujung nyawa dah tak boleh pakai sekarang ni. Jadi, tugas dan tanggungjawab kita suami isteri lah untuk sentiasa sama2 menyemai cinta setiap hari supaya sentiasa rasa hidup di alam cinta penuh keberkatan. Paras rupa tidak menjamin kebahgaian seseorang. Cinta di awal perkahwinan juga bukanlah jaminan perkahwinan itu kekal berpanjangan.


Suami selaku insan yang mempunyai 9 akal haruslah bertindak rasional dalam mengharungi kehidupan berumahtannga di sisi si isteri yang mempunyai 9 emosi dan 1 rasional sahaja. Sabarlah wahai suami tatkala isteri merajuk, tenanglah wahai suami apabila isteri mu mengeluh, pujuklah isteri mu ketika dia sedang bersedih dan tenangkanlah hatinya yang sedang dalam kegusaran. *ini tidak, asal isteri buat perangai je..terus ugut nak tambah lagi sorang..haisyyyyy tak patut3x*


Cubalah menjadi isteri yang mendengar kata, ikutilah suruhan suami mu selagi ia tidak bertentangan dengan hukum agama, gembirakanlah hati suami mu dengan hal2 yang bisa membuatnya tersenyum, berbicaralah dengan nada manja supaya suami mu tertawan dan berhiaslah supaya suami mu memandangmu dengn penuh kasih setiap masa. *ini tidak, kat rumah bukan main comot bau ikan goreng lagi..bila nak keluar rumah je, wahhh mekap kalah Rozita Che Wan ..haisyyyy tak patut3x*.


Sejujurnya, setiap hari ada sahaja yang kita akan belajar dalam kehidupan ini. Proses menyelami hati budi suami/isteri kita juga merupakan never ending learning subject. Semoga hubby & I akan menjadi best student dalam sessi mengenali hati masing2....dan semoga kasih kami berkekalan, insya Allah.

Baby SN's 17th months milestones

Every time I am about to write about Baby SN's milestones, I will realize how rapidly he has grew up. Thus, I feel it is very important to write about his achievement so that I can still remember all these great moments and hopefully, if panjang umur xpasti ..I'd be able to share this story during his growing up phase with baby SN later.


=- mommy & daddy's best friend
peace -=


Here's some of his achievement a.k.a baby SN's 16th & 17th months milestones :-



1. Can understand what mommy & daddy are saying
~ he is able to do things that we ask him to, like to throw his disposable diapers into the dustbin, we will say the words "GOMI" (rubbish) and he will do it excellently.

~ he will then waited for our compliment upon his achievement, simple compliment like saying "jouzu" (great) and clapping hands
tepuktangan will blow him away lepas tu terus tersengih suka ria sengihnampakgigi hehe




2. Latest addition to his vocabulary

~ he'll says "MAMA" when he wants to eat, *bila lah dia nak panggil "MOMMY" nih?* huhuhu..sob sob T_T
~ he'll shout for "DEDE" if he want anything that he couldn't take on his own

~ "TOTOP"= tutup
~ I'm a bit worried about his speaking skills
adacall as he might find it difficult to converse in 3 different languages that he listen to everyday i.e. Japanese, English and Malay. But, I keep thinking positive and assure myself that kids his age are linguistic genius, therefore we should just keep talking to him to help him in his communication skills.


=- socialize dengan baby Jepun, mommy tak faham apa yang dua baby ni borak kan -=


3. Master some part of the Japanese gesture

~ By Japanese gesture here I'm referring to the bowing gestures made by Japanese

~ whenever someone said "ARIGATOU", "ITERASYAI", "KONNICHIWA", "OHAYO GOZAIMASU"; baby SN will respond by bowing his head...
:males: *super chomeyl okeh terngok dia terbongkok2 kepala kadang2 sampai terhantuk kat lantai* kui3x.


4. A little more handful to mommy & daddy
~ besides able to throw the rubbish into the dustbin, baby SN always
eager to let us involve him in house chores activities such as tidying the futon and put in inside the closet.
~ though he can't do it perfectly yet, but he was able to pick up the pillows and arrange it inside the closet,
nanti bila dia dah pandai kemas sendiri.....senang kerja mommy sengihnampakgigi ngeeeeeeeeeeee.
~ he'd be more than delighted to help me when I'm hanging the clothes
tapi lepas 3 minit tolong mommy, mula rasa bosan agaknya.... dia buang je baju2 tu merata2 atas lantai huhuhuhu.




=- video baby SN tolong mommy & daddy kemas futon -=


5. Become too obsessed with Laptop, DVD player and iPhone
~ he wanted us to always PLAY his baby Einstein video or Siri Doa video or Nursery Rhymes video allllll the time when he was staying at home. Tengah2 malam pun kalau takleh tidur, tetaplah nak tengok video..adoyaiii.


https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRsKAXeE9CHWvGgPJcX-AFaSmqRUs8gIWJJ38pUfAgKoxYRXkRfg2CouGAhfYg3yEnbwqsRkzQ21mUClzJIO4DeAAJg0Hi25mIZ4UbD3foInoP-i-XHm1p21ovRAvq-_ZubiINNMzAXl2A/s1600/DSC_0003-5.JPG
=- bangun je dari tidur ngantuk terus suruh PLAY video -=

~ at the same time, while watching his video he'll ask me to PLAY the ABC song in my iPhone and if I refuse to do that, he'll cry out loud sampai satu blok boleh dengar suara nyaring dia..huwaaaaa...iPhone mommy dah tak de urpa henfon dah, comot dengan cap jari dia bertompok2 kat screen...
adus uwaaaaaaaaaaaa.

~ I risau jugak dengan obsession dia ni sebab I ada baca this article about Baby Einsteins: Not So Smart After All By Alice Park ; tapi buat masa ni I memang tak mampu nak halang keinginan dia untuk tengok his educational videos and songs whenever he ask for it tension huhuhu


=- tak nyempat2 nak buckle seat belt dalam car seat, terus suruh ON DVD player dia huhuhu -=


6. Still Breastfeeding
~ baby SN is a big fan of mommy's milk that everytime I come back home, he'll straight away say the word "NAK NEK"; kadang2 mommy tak sempat bukak tudung lagi dia dah ambik bantal untuk menyusu hehe
~I dah tak pam susu lagi untuk bekal dia sebab kat nursery, diorang bagi fresh milk untuk baby over 1 year old.

~ infact Doctor pun dah advise untuk baby SN stop minum susu ibu tapi I tak sampai hati nak stop kan lagi though I have to admit that there are times that I feel like I nak stop, tapi bila fikir2 semula..tak jadi la nak stop lagi..erm, takpe lah,selagi I mampu dan selagi ada rezeki dia nak minum susu ibu...mommy will continue nursing you darling.
love
~ everytime I feel like giving up and start weaning him, I'll look at this video of Claire(one of the 12 finalists of ANTM season 10). I'm encouraged by Claire's will, though she was so keen on pursuing her dream to be a top model, it doesn't stopped her from pumping her milk while she's away from her daughter....that's is super sweet effort senyumkenyit by a mother to her baby.





7. Started using training pant
~ as part of potty training effort done by his nursery, we have to provide at least 3 pieces of training pants for him everyday
~ It is easy to potty train your baby using training pants because children connect the immediacy of wetness and the prompt consequences of wetting, they learn
nerdhow their body works.
~ This helps them learn how to sense a full bladder and communicate their needs to adults.



=- baby SN's collections of training pants -=


8. Super grumpy and cranky 24-7 a day
~ as I've mentioned in my entry Up and down of being a perasan chomeyl mommy, baby SN is being ridiculously manja ::( sekarang ni that I sometime miss the time when he was little baby yang baik dan jarang nangis dulu2.
~ Here's are some of the tips shared by my beloved friends in the entry to help me to overcome this problem :-
  • read the book pasal handling tantrum (The Happiest Toddler on the Block: How to Eliminate Tantrums and Raise a Patient, Respectful, and Cooperative One- to Four-Year-Old: Revised Edition, by Dr Karp)
  • bisik kat telinga baby kata2 nasihat & baca surah fatihah & 4 Qul.
  • baca pada air (mineral atau zamzam) surah Ar-Rahman ayat 1-5 dan surah Taha 1-28, bagi baby minum air tu

=- sessi tunjuk perasaan di atas lantai -=

~ Bayangkan dia punya kehebatan untuk tunjuk perasaan tantrum tu tak kira masa dan tempat. Even kat city ward office masa his 17th months check up pun dia boleh menjerit2 tak puas hati hahahaha gatai ..anak oh anak.


=- tengah tunjuk perasaan menjerit kuat2 sambil geleng2 kepala lepas tu diam bila tengok ada baby lain nangis hahahaha -=



Whatever his behavior is, and doesn't matter how much I'm super annoyed with his tantrum and cries, I still love him so damn much. After all, I guess it is true when people said that "children's behavior is a reflection of their parents action". Hehehe..I wont be blaming him for acting so clingy and manja and mengada2, :puppyeyes: sebab I pun memang manja dan mengada even dah tua bangka macam sekarang ni ekekekeke.

=- mommy's boy; like mother like son -=


Pssssttt : yang hairannya, garupale bila mommy takde elok je perangai dia dengan Daddy. Bila Mommy ada je, terus bertukar jadi manja 200% hohoho.

Old-style European architecture at Mojiko Retro, Kitakyushu

This week's travel and living segment in Yatie Chomeyl's Blog will brings you guys to see some part of Japan which has an European touch on it. I'm talking about Mojiko Retro, which is situated at Kitakyushu. This place is the most northern part of Kyushu Island.


Mojiko means Moji's port, and Retro comes from the word "retrospective" in English. This port was opened in 1889 and become one of the most successful international port during that era. A lot of national and international trading companies built their office in Mojiko, and its downtown was very busy with visitors all around the world. Even after declining of the distribution business in Mojiko area, most of buildings have been remains the same till today. After 100 years its prosperity, now Mojiko area has been revived with the intermixed of exotic buildings of old age and attractive new amusement spots.


This city is nice for sightseeing as it offers different view of the buildings in other part of Japan. Bukan senang nak dapat tengok bangunan design European kat Jepun ni, selalunya bangunan kotak2 4 segi *yang macam Ultraman dengan Raksasa duk pijak2* tu je.

=- terlentuk2 dah kepala baby SN -=


Actually, our main intention to visit this place was to walk through the Kanmon Pedestrian Tunnel and walk inside the water tunnel to reach Honshu Island!. This tunnel starts in Moji-ko, near Mekari Park. The tunnel runs underwater between the islands of Kyushu and Honshu. But, unfortunately the tunnel was closed for maintenance work on that day. So, we end up letting the kids enjoy playing at the squid slides at Mekari Park.

I hope you guys did enjoy the pictures and also story behind this trip. Gambar tak superb sangat due to foggy and gloomy sky on that day. Overall it was a nice sightseeing trip experience and I am very happy to be able to share it with you guys . Stay tune for the next entry of travel and living segment in Yatie Chomeyl's Blog as I'll bring you to another famous tourist spot here in Kyushu Island. *ecewahhh, macam rancangan TV pulak, siap suruh orang stay tune segala bagai ngeeeee*.
