a Little Moments

When we need to take care our house alone, i said to hubby that i hate cleaning so hubby take over that duty....,

In the beginning i always rely on him but you know he also busy so sometimes the duty were neglected...

I try to stand with some dust and friends but then i can't hold it too long until hubby available to clean it...

I may hate cleaning but i was raised in a family who are neat freak... my mom and dad are well organized, very very very well... so now i don't rely him too much and try to clean it by myself because i need to live in clean and neat environment too.

So proud of me hahaha.... anyway thanks to my parent for the clean house and the  good model in taking care of the house...,

In the end i wish i have a robot who can detect the dust and friends and clean it right away... :p

If you looking for some statement to defend one side or to make one side looks better than the other
then maybe you just read a wrong post.. because i don't want to talk about it... sorry

Do you know what???
Because when you make some statement about one side, the other side will feel their sacrifice were useless...

Thats it, i guess...

When hubby watch his football team play on tv, i always try to disturb him with silly questions..
He's really cute because he always answer every question, so multitasking... good job

Since his priority focus on tv so i try to talk about my day when i taking care our aleena
i said to him i think i was hard to aleena... sometimes i complain it a lot and also yelling at her...
The point is i showed her a bad side of me very often, few things that never happened when i was working,,

i told him one case and suddenly he came up with a suggestion how to solve the problem, and yap i was so surprised.. I always thought this is my job, and hubby has his office job. We can't help each other because we don't really understand about the job, but i was wrong he is quite better than me and i feel helpless because i can't help him too....

you work so hard,, very hard...  thank you very much.. if there something i can do for you....

A phrase that always comes everyday..
Or in other word "i'm bored and maybe we're bored"

Everyday i wonder if i can get some fresh activity for me and aleena... but stil i can't...

Being sahm means i'm a time and place  controller....  it also means we can do anything but in the reality we do nothing...

Anyway, at least  i always to figure out new things every night..

I hope later maybe starting tomorrow i can write our activity.... a different one...something that out of the box... amiin

Ok..... done for today... it's 2:31 AM....

Let's sleep again,  hubby.....

Today i just made a mac and cheese...
I got my inspiration from Laura Vitale. You can see the recipe and video in this link

I also tried mixing it with beef mince
Here is my sketchnote about my own recipe.., It helps me to remember the sequence...,


Now here is the result...It's really delicious... First time i made it on mid july.. i made it for one event and alhamdulillah the neighbors love it...

Hubby asked me to make a BBQ meatball so i browse a lot recipe and finally combine this two recipe to make my own recipe...

1. meatball : Chef John's Italian Meatballs 
2. BBQ sauce : BBQ Meatballs  

Here is my recipe
1. Meatballs






















2. BBQ Sauce












I make two version of this meatball.. The first one, i cover the meatballs with barbeque sauce (i bought on supermarket) before i bake it and for the other i combine the meatball with my own barbeque sauce after i bake it..,

Here is the result... I love the first version while hubby love the other one...

I combine two recipe to make my own recipe...,
Here are the original recipe:
1. Breaded Chicken Fingers
2. How to make Japanese Fried Chicken ''Kara-age''

And now for my recipe:
1. Hubby's favorite














2. Aleena's favorite...

When we can't find any favorite wall clock
hubby said "i challenge you to make our own wall clock."
then i said "ok challenge accepted."
 
First i need a media to put the clock,,,
i browse a lot but couldn't find any idea until we go to Baltos
We suddenly get the same idea,
We think to make a paint in the canvas and put the wall clock movement mechanism there

Second i need an idea about the picture
so i'm browsing again and again and again on Pinterest...
I found the simple one that can still make us focus in seeing the time..,

Finally i got an idea to make triangle pattern with neon color of course
and blue to make it fair for hubby.... :D

Here it is, the wall clock with my beautiful little girl
The  two pictures are blur but it's really cute

Hello.. hello... again
I really miss my blog..

Here i am now

I'm going to tell you about my experience as stay at home mom
but you should wait for a moment..
because i'm looking for the right time..
i mean the time when aleena playing outside

Anyway, hello world...

One day i saw hubby's friend winning this game...
then i was wondering  whether i could also win this game...,

I used to play with the same method, sometimes it just random movement
I always stuck in 512 tiles...

so I was thought about how others doing.,,,
I browse the strategy and got this one How To Win 2048

It's very simple...
I try to follow the method to build number side to side, collapse upward, focus on corner,
and never ever ever swipe down...

My biggest mistake, I always move the tiles to every direction... 

When i try this method... My score is getting higher and higher and higher
and suddenly i got this 2048 tile...

When I give this game to hubby...
He said "Where is the score"....

So now i try to update my game...
I make the button turn around faster than before,,,
For the first ten seconds it move slow but then it getting faster and faster...
I add scoring and also put a high score for my game....,

If you want to play come to this link Hit The Button
Here is for the preview

This is my mini game. i still have no idea about the title..
i start again to make a game since i resign from my job
and it was inspired by aleena..
 
This game is about hitting the button when the color is change,,,
i put our favorite character.. hello kitty, doraemon and mickey mouse

A week ago, i was in bad condition... I feel more sensitive and sometimes I can't handle myself....,
It feels more difficult when I take a role as stay at home mom...

I tell my hubby about that... And he said "you want to work, go then but please have a breakfast and dinner with me" Thank you hubby.... That is what i want but it's not my choice...,

Then he try to found an answer... And finally he said "I think you need me, you already taking care Aleena all day, so I should taking care of you in the night, right,,," I guess he's right..., for all this time I feel like a single parent even though there are a lot of people who could help me here..., I think I need his support and also hubby's role...,

About taking care our Aleena Do you know what I've been through it...
First Thing is I got shock with all about baby things..., I'm a last child and even I have a niece I never know how my sister taking care of him because she lives in Sydney..., So in other word, I know nothing... I thought the baby will drink milk easily or she will eat easily without any drama or she will sleep by herself and etc..., I never know about baby's life....,

I told it to my friend, teh fit.. And she said "then I'm gonna be better" yap I'm sure she will be better from me., at least she will skip my drama because she already experienced two baby's life, her younger sister and brother...,

Now the second thing is I'm a last child who raise a first child..., there are a lot of different characteristic about this sequence..., I don't know if it's a matter for other people... But it is for me...,  I'm not really independent and sometimes childish and Aleena seems dominant and stubborn... I have no idea how to solve this but I figure out something.... most of my best friends are a first child or middle child at least the have little brother or sister... So they are more more mature from me and I think I should learn from them.....,

Today i just found out a new lesson about how to color pop image...
You can see the tutorial here

I try to implement this tutorial with my daughter's picture from june 2013 and march 2014
i love the result.. and wow she grow up so fast, it's only 9 months..

anyway here is the result...,

When aleena got cough.... i said to her no chips....
But when aleena got fussy and i running out of idea to make her stop...  i give her the chips...

Then this little girl reminds me about the consistency....

She said "mommy no... cough....."

I forbid her to play ipad... but i stil play fruit ninja in front of her... now i only play ipad on the night...,

I teach her to pee on the bathroom but when we go outside and she asked me to go to bathroom, i said to her "just do it on your  diaper"

I'm sorry, i was wrong...,
But i'm grateful that sometimes you're really stubborn.... Because finally you can force me to go to the toilet..,

I just successful add my instagram photo to my blog..

When i make a decision to be stay at home mom, one of my goal is to get creative with aleena. The first activity that i want to do with her is painting. So i search a lot of some tools to use with paint and here are the 20 painting tools.

1. Ball [School Time Snippets]                        4. Tube  Teaching 2 and 3 Year Old
2. Credit Card [Happy Hooligans]                  5. Squeeze Bottle [Growing a Jeweled Rose]

About few months ago, before aleena's age reach two years.. I have thought about this potty training...
I was wondering about when will i start..

I just thought i will do this training on our own house because i don't want to bother other family member..
so i started to forget about this potty training...,

on December, i saw that aleena already can pull her pants up and down...,This actually a good progress that show her readiness on potty training..,but i still have my doubt to start it until my mom gave a lot of underwear on Aleena's birthday..,

Since my mom who initiate this training, then i don't need to feel afraid for disturbing again.. so this is our experience:
first week aleena still pees in the pant.. so we postpone about this underwear thing and still using diaper. But it didn't mean we stop this training because we still bring her to the bathroom every one hour..,
second week no more diaper, aleena has started to understand about pees in the bathroom but we still bring her every one hour.
third week she already can tell when she need to pees..,

I thought it would be difficult, but when i have trough this stage, it's not really difficult, but with one condition: the child is ready. You can read in this link Potty Training Readiness Checklist

Now the challenge is to make her not using diaper on night time. I ever tried it.. I have succeed one time and also failed one time..., Actually i still not ready.., i need to buy waterproof sheet first for my bed..,

In a post before Why Should I, i think i already misunderstand about my dad...
Today he drove me to the office and we talk a lot 

He said that hubby and i already make some achievement...
so we need to be grateful about it...,

Then I think again about my dad...
maybe he doesn't matter about money but more than that..
he wants to see some changes in me...


something better..., something that differentiate me from old me...,
because it seems he doesn't see it now
Okay let's see it, then

One night my dad telling me about my cousin's achievement...
Good carrier and high salary...,
Then he compare me with my part time job and enough salary...

He told me that i don't have ambition...,
A little bit hurt because he compare it to salary...,

To be honest....
I don't really care about my salary and about how i can prove to others that i'm good...,
I don't live for people's opinion.... i just live for myself...

I just want to enjoy my life and now i am...
Is it wrong...

What if my key factor to happiness is different from others...
Am i wrong...

Why should i live like other people???

Let me tell you about my ambition... here it is:

i want to create a children story that will be remembered by all children in the world...,,

I want to be a game maker especially in creating the main character that will be loved by every children

I want to be a creative blogger that inspire many many many people especially for every woman around the world...

I want to be a designer for children clothes...,,,

You see that my ambition is about things not salary....,

But now half of my mind is thinking about how to make a huge money to prove it to my dad....

When hubby asked me to make a fried chicken
I try to find a new recipe and got one from youtube.,

I make it with a lot of garlic....,
The result is hubby really loves it... yap we're crazy about garlic..
aleena is the one who got the impact...
She loves garlic, onion, green onion and etc...

Anyway this one is really good.. check it out
