what've been done before A year :countdown:

setelah tk kelewatan begitu banyak moment dan milestones utk dicatat, diingat, direkam, dan disimpan... masihlah pula hilang blackberry gemini putihnya... so im officially tracking down photos in some other's mobile phone or else... terutama utk bulan ke 7 s/d sekarang... fuh...

tapi juga setelah melewati banyak kekonyolan dan naik-turun kondisi tubuh (termasuk sakit roseola infantum di akhir bulan ke 10 sehingga smp skrg masih ada hutang imunisasi IPD), di bulan ke 11 ada banyaaaak yang baru yang canggih dan nyenengin. his name is shaka, and he used to act like a cute-sloppy baby boy. but he is now a toddler, still cute, and about to rise and shine ^^v bless u. cup.

first words : its still heard like a babbling, tapi sudah hampir pasti, adalah 'udah', 'mbak', 'papa', 'dadah'.... i will work more for 'mama' later -__-

first table food : gula garam colongan banyak di bulan ke 11 ini =D he's very demanding into foods. mulai dari kue basah tradisional nagasari, putu, kue temennya pukis favorit papa, honeystar mama, tahu goreng, ubi goreng, tempe goreng, banana berry di urban kitchen, paddle pop, conello disc, buavita mango..... biar kata icip-icip doang tetep aja terusan -__-' mudah-mudahan gapapalah... belakangan jg tk kasih keju, dan tk agak membebaskan diri sama dairy product dan telur.... masih ada reaksi sih, tapi sepertinya sdh jauh lebih baik..... mudah-mudahan semakin baik =) ....errrr.... tinggal tk harus nyari resep2 lagi skrg.....

seven teeth : nggak tau ada pengaruhnya atau nggak... tapi belakangan mimik di malam hari kembali menyakitkan... smp kemaren smp huru-hara di pagi buta...

more hair (seems) to grow =D

normal height and lower weight in the growth chart : sehat yuk sehat ah sehat yah ^_^ yang penting sehat, banyak milestones yang nunggu di bulan2 berikutnya.....

first gestures: pusiiing!! (pegang kepala pake 2 tangan dengan mimik dan intonasi sebel) - halo? (1 tangan nempel kuping sambil mimik dan intonasi bertanya, kalo megang/ngeliat handphone/telepon jg bereaksi begini) - dadah (dadah sama semua orang yg lagi dadahdadah, responnya yg in masih suka lemot :D) - tepuk tangan (atau pok'e'pok -__- ajarannya mba ina) - cicak! (langsung liat ke atas nyari cicak) - dungdung! (jitak/toyor kepala sendiri :D yg ini baru bisa hari ini) ....and all these, muncul di bulan ke11 semua! canggih kan =) dalam hal ini mbak ina jg cukup berjasa, tinggal arahannya harus lebih jelas supaya nggak muncul bahasa2 aneh yg menyesatkan... hihihi...

first animals: kucing, cicak, bebek (mungkin)

30 imaginary toys : are u sure wanting me to mention all? :D well, it involved mobile purse and casing, old socks, old newborn shoes, namecard holder, wetnapkin and huggies plastic packaging... they're just permanently rich and lovely ^_*

first step : na ah, he's just mastering crawling right after 'rambatan', he's just on the way, i'll take it easy =)

first (mama's favourite) gear : (hihihi kategori khusus buat mamanya)

peg perego Si stroller (very sturdy and comfy and still looking good at every occassion, tapi emg kalo sekarang udah waktunya dicuci sih -__- udah buluk bener...)

graco tea time highchair (must-have for growing a happy-eater)

hanamuguri carrier (sangat simpel... sebenernya (masih) tertarik sleepywrap tapi rada telat taunya :D)

pigeon food maker (sangat 'cukup' dan serbaguna utk awal mpasi)

enphilia cloth diaper (its comfy, cute, useful, local-made, and very affordable and worth for it's price! tapi masih tertarik sama moo-moo kow dan green nappy pull up si... =p)

avent reusable pads (asli berguna! asli murah! asli nyaman bgt dibandingin yg dispo!)

liquid talc mothercare (it seems fancy, but i found out its not, ...i mean, it really works!)

jumper carter's (easy and affordable, good textiles too... sayang nggak ada yg 12+)

cotton-ink classic shawl (baru punya sebentar, tapi langsung kerasa bgt gunanya, dibanding nursing shawl yg lain...)

blackberry (been a help since i haven't even have it, 1st friend after delivery, nice companion while breastfeeding, easy and compact moment recorder and distributor)

last but not least, THEURBANMAMA.COM (this is ain't ad info, and you can call me geeky to say that... even i was thinking to put this name right on my last posting on mother's day actually... to me, the portal's been a quite good companion since then, cool and easy people with pretty cool mind and attitude. i wonder them many times, on how they make me feels (at home, or at least not alone) i really heart them ^^

and so... lets just welcoming tomorrow =)

i hope i can post some pictures later.

love u my little man.

what to do after A year :countdown:

menjelang shaka 1 tahun, menjelang tahun baru, dan mumpung papanya shaka lagi nggak di rumah dan ngaja ikea-an terus... mama mau bikin planning...

mother's day posting

:its not that im unblessed, but unlike another blessed daughter, i'd rather start by straightly saying, no i don't want to be like mom:

she is a fun person, actually. but she has this cranky mood making her somewhat hysterical. easily got panicked, or lost in a deep euphoria, or dramatically drown herself down by such imaginary fear and catastrophe. hwow, its a definitely unhealthy, yes? um... its just that i know that she is not her all the time. i mean, its time who has carried her all the way.

there was a time at school i would say that she is my role model, such an idol character. although i remember i was saying it because i didn't know who else i should admit. but i think its pretty something, at least for someone like me. well, i used to sort myself pretty well i guess. herself coming at my mind by the time isn't instant though. i mean, i remember that i really found certain facts along the way.

i cannot tell much about it. if you ever got a chance to meet her, you'll see. she is lovable, fun, chatty, a bit childish... errr.... or yes, child-like -___-' she is quite interesting, very lively comparing to me. she is such a free thinker trapped in a body full of norms and terms... maybe i'm a bit overrated here. but i think, thats a pretty good term too for her, overrated. ahaha, yes she's just that special.

but still, no lah, i don't want to be like her. and i think she actually wouldn't want me to be like her either. but ever heard the words "a man cursed for won't ever be like his dad, and a woman cursed for gotta be like her mom"... yeah, thats hell scarry... nooo, i don't want to be such an unstable adult laughing and weeping both effortlessly like mooom... gotta ground... gotta ground now...

its just, there's this one thing i found out after i delivered a baby. i was and i maybe still am such a weak, clumsy, careless, stubborn yet vulnerable person turning into a mom. my flaws leads me scared and worried. and by that point i realized, there's this one thing, i ultimately wanted from my mom. of all her flaws, characters, habbits, that could have been been passed to me, i hope there's this one thing (or if its possible, this one thing only =p) been through in my blood. my origin.

it was the love to be me. the happiness for being myself, and not wanting another. another person to be, another person to be with. another world to be lived. another heart and experiences to be in. yeah, of all her flaws i really wondered how she could made me that way. and heartfully hope, that at that point, i could do the same for my baby, for least. yeah, of all her flaws, eventually she filled me good enough.

so kiddo, hail to oma!!! and i, as a loving daughter, as usual, will just be there to poke her :D isn't that cute? ...happy mother's day mama. God knows how worthy you are. i know. and that's not the reason why i love you, so don't you worry :D HUG.

my ikea wishlist :revised:

Due to the cancellation of shaka birthday party ^_^ i sort my wishlist into this below:

SÖT BARNSLIG soft toy - all variant @ 0,90 SGD

NEGLINGE candlestick/tealight holder - 3pcs @ 0,90 SGD

KLADD bib assorted colours - 1 pack @ 3,90 SGD

MYSA STRA quilt 150x200 - 1pc @ 15 SGD

VITAMINER VIMPEL quilt cover and pillowcase 150 x 200 - 1 set @ 15 SGD

TRIPP tin with lid, set of 3 - 1set @ 6 SGD

so little time so much to do

beberapa postingan terakhir selalu isinya tentang waktu.... sok sibuk deh

dan hal itu akan ditandai dengan fakta yg berikut ini, gigi shaka udah 7 aja....

ITS ALREADY SEVEN AND I DONT KNOW WHEN - __ - !!#@!

jadi sebelum lupa mending diurut dulu giginya ya:

1. tengah kanan bawah ----> demam, flu pertama kali

2. tengah kiri bawah ----> muncul tak lama kemudian

3. tengah kanan atas

4. tengah kiri atas ----> flu pake sariawan, mau lebaran

5. taring kanan atas ----> kelewatan -__-

6. taring kiri atas ----> cranky bites

7. bawahnya taring kiri bawah (namanya apa ya...) ----> baru sadar tadi sore -__-'

....jadi agak deg2an sama gigi ke8.... melihat sejarah 3 pasang gigi sebelumnya, selalu ada cerita nggak asik disetiap pasangnya.... mudah2an yg ke 8 nanti jinak dan sehat ah, makannya aja yg tambah pinter dan alerginya berkurang :D sementara ta cariin orajel (murah) ah ke oma.... hohoho musti sikat gigi segera biar nggak gigis kaya mama (dan papa jg ternyata)....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

kembali ke #solittletimesomuchtodo .....

papa shaka kembali ke hutan sore ini, dan hashtag diatas merepresentasikan semuanya.

lately i got used to it. there are already a lot of things to be thanked though. really. why cant every people just accept it as it is. yea, we're human -__- thats why. okay, apologize taken then. being an adult is difficult, even if we're still on the way to it. im serious. well im using english now, thats a proof. im serious.

life is already so difficult there is no room for anger, jealousy hatred and greed. and yet it seems there is still so much of it. sad. RT Nadya_HutaGalng.

rasanya waktunya terlalu sedikit, bahkan untuk merespon (mengklarifikasi) setiap feedback.

Apalagi yang kurang,

Kalau kau punya matahari dan udara
Apalagi yang kurang,

Kalau yang terindah sudah kau dapatkan
Kalau kau berlari smakin cepat,

Saat kau bangun menjelang bersama cinta
Tanganmu tlah ada kehangatan,
Apalagi yang kurang

*potongan theme song telenovela akhir tahun 90an yg diindonesiakan dan masih terus terngiang :p it just sound so true

its not like im in the easy breezy mood right now, that i suddenly come out with such 'cheap' lyric from a 'cheap' movie like that... its just that *sigh* so little time so much to do. and one adult should deal and survived with many things. but basically, things are good. trust me.

back to my youth life, i would say...

"its not like im pregnant or something..., be calm..."

*well i haven't found any other ultimate daNg moment that fits me now...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

well oh well, senangnya bisa menulis lebih mudah :) udah pake speedy nih. meski kayanya org telkomnya agak2 trickie (bisa nggak abis2 deh ngomongin yg jelek2 :d udahan ah). koneksinya cepet. yummm! dan, template nya ganti lagi. demi menunjang kenyamanan menulis :D yg lama nggak klik aaaah... meski sebenernya yg ini jg bukan pilihan pertama, melainkan pilihan spontan keburu shaka bangun dan drpd blog masih berantakan sih :p pilihan pertama keduanya nggak compatible sama printilan bawaan asalnya sih...

i like this template though. not something i would basically use sih emang... tapi kadang2 spontanitas justru bisa tahan lama :D dan template ini agak2 mengingatkan pada kecintaan lama. um... i remind to some old times lately, me and the beauties. design, art, cool etsy things... not to mention architecture greatness... think i kinda miss it. honestly, i kinda miss being around those people who are trully in love with their lovely jobs and doing lovely works. na ah, im not saying working, because still, to me it really sounds like one whole day thing which just not sounds lovely by now :p i say, being around.

ah.... is there any possibility that one of them are open for such a laid-back freelancer........... maybe for a shopping companion, standby bazaar girl, matching fabrics, or else :p oh yeah this stupid daydreamer is asking for such vacancy. s1 arsitektur, good performance in a wellknown magz, in love with design, good english,.... masa nggak boleh sih temenin ikutan bazar sama belanja kaen aja.....

hehe... yea, im talking about crafty things here. kayanya terlalu jauh deh kalo mau ikutan di seputar arsitektur interior... dan lagi menemukan sangat sangat banyak desainer handicraft lokal yg baguuus.... adore them so much. they really seized my days lately. thats why i put them here :) in local founds label. must-see... and most of their product are must-have. *fingercrossed

oh by he way, im serious too in this part :) skrg lg usaha biar bisa deketdeket sama salah satunya. manusia emang banyak maunya, dulu mau buku, sekarang ngiler sama produk luculucu, yaudahlah biarin aja dong ah.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shaka gimana shaka? -__- *masih bete mengejar keterlambatan update*

merangkak sudah cantik dan cepat, meski suka menghalalkan segala cara (bahaya) demi mencapai tujuannya...

duduk masih suka mengkahawatirkan, suka doyong akibat manuver yg suka seenaknya sendiri...

berdiri juga udh gampang, satu tangan ok, dua tangan juga udah bisa, nyender sama perut :D lagi nunggu kapan mau dititah... tapi santai kok, kaya di pantai...

meniru! menirunya makin canggih! bikin deg2an mamanya yg sehari2 sama2... baby imitates that easy, and totally unpredictable...

sekarang lagi suka niruin ketawanya org dewasa yg ha-ha-ha (yg mana emg nggak lama bulan2 belakangan ini, if i wasnt mistaken, i like to do it purposely, laughing with a definite tone, to show him im happy-we're happy) dan diterjemahkan jadi ahk-ahk-ahk... sehingga agak terdengar seperti lg ngeden, dan bikin batuk -__- but it clearly means that he want to join us with a laugh..

beberapa waktu sebelumnya lagi suka jerit-jerit nyaring kalo lagi megang sesuatu, dan kita pegang/ambil sesuatunya itu, sambil melotot menatap mata kita..... daNg..... siapa tuh yg ngajarin.....*tiba2 inget waktu kecil, pernah dibilangin oma kalo mama shaka lg marah sukanya melotot nyeremin kaya kakek* bueh.... musti extra hatihati sekarang.... mas, kamu jgn ikutin yg anehaneh jelek dari mamapapa ya.... yg cutiescuties aja ;)

jadi agak2 mikir kalo dia lagi ngoceh nggak jelas kaya merapal huruf, jangan2 niruin mamanya juga ya... haddeeehh... kapan liatnya....

dan shaka belum bisa tepuk tangan :p kenapa ini jadi milestones (pribadi)? karena tempohari pernah playdate sama wina-sabin, dan sabin yg 1 bln lebih muda udah bisa. ditambah terlihat lebih 'ngerti'. sementara bayi sayangku masih mlongo2 cengengesan aja :D hihihihi... untung masih keliatan cuties.... cup cup.... i enjoy this son.... just take your times happily :)

apa lagi ya.... paling makannya.... yaaaa, sedikit banyak udah nambah sih... mulai dr yg bener spt tomat, mangga, bayam, kabocha... ada juga yg nggak jelas seperti kue lapis, kue putu, honeystars, sampe berbagai label toiletries, tisu, daun, koran, kertas, dan yg nggak asik lagi, sejumput firming cream kaya tadi sore. hah! mudah2an nggak papa. cute to hear, but very not cute to be experienced. huff... target berikutnya, brokoli, ayam, sawi, mujair/lele.... ijo2annya nih, masih kurang bener... udah mau setaun aja. kalo daging2an, bismillah aja. a good vegetarian doesn't seems that bad. toh masih asi, dan kaldu juga. susu tambahan jg, yg agak deg2an... masukin sufor susah bener....

hum.... apa lagi.... oh iya! lagi suka nerobos2 :) cuties deh. ada apa2 maunya diterobos. kolong highchair yg paling sering. meski kadang suka nekat mau nerobos kolong bouncer -__- iya, bouncer kursi toddler itu... oh, sama nerobos tekukan betis-paha pas lagi duduk juga ding...

and he (still) loves books (and even more). bukunya yg life in the city ungu itu, sekarang sudah hafal tempatnya, bisa ngambil sendiri dan membedakannya dengan deretan buku lainnya, dan masih suka (dan anteng) kalo pas dibacain :) meski tetep setelahnya tetep mau dimakan juga.

ummm... thats all i remember for now... :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sebenernya masih ada beberapa hal... tapi yang terpenting keliatannya udah. tinggal doanya... mudah2an semua baikbaik aja. sehat, menyenangkan. and that i really really love many things and people around me and its true. may they know it naturally due to my lack of ability to show it *please forgive this lazy stupid wife girl* or else im gonna be sad. sigh. what a cheap flick.

blah whatever. c u soon.
