long overdue post (goodbye braces, hello retainers!)

New post alert! Sorry. Too busy juggling work and home plus 2 kids. yes i have another one last July ( he is almost one year masya allah)

So post ni dedicated mainly on my braces progress story.

Last January was the month that i finally braces free (read: hello retainers!)
it aint easy! feeling bercampur2 sedih tapi happy. and wearing retainers is ever harder sebab bila dah boleh bukak pasang selalu lah jadi kejadian terlupa.

Actually kejadian tu kerap sangat jadi. and because of that, i have noticed a tiny movement on my lower teeth. Tiny, but can definitely tell the difference. My dentist ada pesan macam2 tapi banyaknye dah lupa sebab he told me one time masa mula2 pakai braces which was 3 (or 4?) years ago and again before he removed my braces ( the last color was blue. will go dig my phone photo album if i still keep it)

But basically lepas bukak braces, retainers ni kena pakai 24 jam except masa makan. So i was under the impression that retainers ni macam braces like you wont feel a thing. Boy I was wrong!! Retainers yang i chose dah la the old classic yang ade mold tu. After u put it on, your speech is totally tukar, like really tukar with a weird accent hehe. Paling obvious your S sound will definitely off. Kalau mengaji sure salah bunyi ar confirm!

Then your saliva pun macam berkumpul dekat mold tu. Actually my dentist tanya if i want the more canggih retainers yang macam acuan transparent tu ( i have no idea apa actual nama dia), but the other dentist who was there suggested me to choose the classic one sebab yqng transparent tu apparently patient selalu terhilangkan. So you know, i pun ikut la ape depa suggest. They know better right? But now i feel like i should choose that one instead. at least my mouth wont feel full all the time and I can talk normally.

So now, i only practise pakai retainers malam je and weekend. tapi daytime dekat office tak pakai sebab senang nak cakap dengan people. But do not follow this ye. Ikut cakap dentist. Pakai lah all the time for at least 2 years ( i think)

Til then, ta!!

Happy Things in Life

I better write something before the year ends hihi
tapi ada ke anyone reads my ramblings here? haa haa pity.

just want to update some major things happened in the past months ;

In June we finally moved to our own house. Alhamdulillah. It is a stressful process indeed. My advice is take things slowly, dont rush, and get a good property attorney :)
we moved in when i was 6 months preggy. Husband did all the dirty work, me jadi mandor lah

 This years' raya we celebrated dekat KL je since my due was suppose to be on 22nd tapi on 27th July I gave birth (V birth at hospital with doctors' assistance). Another boy, Ahmed Imad Addin. football friend to Zidan, Insya Allah. Love!( he is 3 months young now)
I was so under estimating myself. like really! berapa kali bagitau husband I couldn't do it, jom pegi OT sekarang, but my doctor was like, hey u are already 10 cm dilated. U CAN DO THIS!

hell yea i did!! woohoo Alhamdulillah!

Pink Alert! : Kitchen Aid Mixer / Pregnancy Pillow Review / Viva Glam Miley Cyrus

 Pink Alert 1 :

I have finally owned a Kitchen Aid mixer woohooo!!
beli dengan Amway je jah!!
dok menggodek2 intragram, sekali baru teringat dalam fb ade penah terlike page KA
rupenye admin page tu memang orang bisnes Amway so sambil2 die promo
ahkak terpengaruh sebab mase tu harga promo tu without GST (tuuuiii)
takpa berpikir panjang tu terus setuju aje.
yang kelakar buat order tu mase kt Egypt ok! semua kat hujung jari je.....

walaupun tak dapat color pilihan hati, tapi raspberry ni pun comels jugak
Last weekend baru sempat rasmi. buat brownies je pun haha
soooo excited!

Mengiurkan pusingan itu

Pink Alert 2 :

Sejak dua menjak ni, badan rase sakit especially kat belakang.
lagi2 mase tido pergh memang seksa nak pusing.
ye la perut makin maju, belakang tak leh nak fully support.
dari dulu lagi dok usha2 pregnancy pillow tapi tak penah nak beli sebab rase macam tak perlu je
tapi makin lama makin sakit pulak badan2 mama (excuses je kan?) hihihi
maka dan2 tu jugak la google cari local maker.
kalau beli kat mother(f)care tu memang mahal! cecah RM300 - RM350 sebijik

then i came across www.pregnancypillow.my
local maker yang buat sendiri. design semua lawa2 giler!
bile whatsapp nak order rupenye yang lawa2 tu semua orang lain dah kebas :(
yang tinggal ready stock ade satu. warna pink.

Now am not that keen on pink color. dulu2 mase mude yes, tapi sekarang memang kalau ade pilihan lain memang cari kaler lain jek. tapi dek sebab dah takde yang ready stock, kite bedal je la.
this pillow bukan isi kekabu. sebab kalau isi kekabu beratnye nyah 3kg!
ini isi polyester fiber Gred A katenye
harga dalam RM250 sekali postage. Ok la kot kan.
Sampai2 je seperti biase zidan rasmi dulu. so comel ok!
baba pun bile tengok tergelak sebab bantal tu aje dah makan separuh space katil haha
sorry la ba...sacrifice skit jek hehehe

Bantal Dawai Kokot hahaha

Pink Alert 3 :

Baru2 ni je tetibe rase mood shopping kembali.
Masa awal2 preggy, memang tak pandang shopping2 ni

pegi mall pun tak nak. semua rase nak muntah

few days hari ni sempat usha2 lipstick kt ig. 

semua kan dihujung jari sekarang! order dari bilik tido je

klik klik siap! barang sampai!

Malam tadi tak macam mane ternampak satu sponsored post kt fb

promoting the new Viva Glam Miley Cyrus (i am not a fan)

tapi color tu macam wow cantiknye hot pink ni!

hari ni pegi sogo terus terjah, terus beli noks!

test belum lagi. Ini fresh dari oven sogo

esok kite try okay?

ini comparison dengan Lime Crime In Pink Velvet. Macam lebih kurang. Tapi Pink Velvet ni lagi mahal. Texture tak sama. Die liquid tp matte finish. Kat Malaysia tak de. kene order dari spore paling dekat.

Braces Update #13 of #14?

How do you find out what people checking your blog for?
Tak reti nak add in additional feature dalam blog.
Maklumlah blogging pun bile rase ade mood or story penting (kenkadang tak penting pun)

the reason am asking is because, rase macam nak delete semua post2 braces.
tapi rase macam kesian pulak kat sape2 yang nak dapatkan info and all
because dulu, sebelum pakai braces memang menggila kot buat research bagai
tapi yang bestnye banyak blog yang story2 pasal masing2 punye braces experience
sebab tu tak de rase takut sangat masa nak pakai mule2 dulu.

kadang-kadang rase orang mai blog ni sebab nak cari info pasal interview COTI kot
tu pun sekali setahun baru graph naik. haha
tu pun tak tau ada membantu ke tak hihi...
as for me, i will not apply the interview any more.
sebab rase tak bersesuaian.
Diorang nak mereka2 yang ade talent.
kite ni, talent satu pun tak dop.
like seriously.

ok la pendekkan post, nak cite pasal braces punye latest follow up lepas balik dari Egypt hari tu
amik color purple. and doc cakap soon dah boleh bukak unless you request tak nak bukak lagi.
which is weird sebab die kate ramai yang sayang nak bukak.
ahahaha... no doc, im not one of them, i memang tak sabar nak bukak.
leceh kot nak makan selama ni.

I cant wait!

Nampak nau beautifynye... focus pada gigi je ye. Getah tu kena pakai balik sebab nak kasi align garisan gigi tengah atas dan bawah

Balik Kampung 3.0

How do you handle flying with a toddler?
Walaupun dah few times fly dengan anak tapi tahun ni rase macam tough skit
since zidan has turned 3. Perangai dan karenah pun tak sama macam tahun2 lepas

Mase first time balik nak jumpe family in law, he was just 1. and most of the time he slept.
kalau terjaga pun die makan and kalau baru nk start tantrum, mama suap dengan susu ja (directfeed)
Lagipun masa tu, tok ayah and tok umi pun ikut, so ada orang gilir2 jaga.

Last year, he almost made a scene jugak. jatuhkan makanan habis all over the floor
nasib baik duduk tepi window, orang tak nampak sangat. Masa tu naik Qatar Air, they provided bag with books and soft toy inside. so ok la boleh main2...itu pun kejap2 je...Alhamdullillah it was an okay trip. (walaupun drama di airport kejap sebab ingat terlepas connecting flight)

This year, that feeling is back.
What if he starts crying, what if die mengamuk, what if dia tak nak pakai belt. what if, what if...
tambah pulak mama is carrying his little sibling (alhamdulillah) can i cope? will i have the energy?
mama pikir positif je...with the help of some articles yang terjumpa masa dok research.

So, kita doa moga2 semuanya berjalan lancar....

Amin...

p/s : tak sabar nak makan macam2 yang mak mertua masak :D I memang pemakan! eeeeehhheee

11th & 12th Braces Update

Salam & Hi,

Saya lupa nak update braces yang ke 11. Minggu lepas baru je selesai appointment ke 12.
Tak ada changes yang major cuma tukar braces macam selalu...
kali ni sakit sebab getah yang dipilih tu ketat giler...
doc kata bgus la nak cepatkan tutup gap gigi yang ada.
nak buat comparison gambar pun tak nampak beza.
sama rupa mcm gambar2 update 10. jadi sedikit malas nak upload gambar baru hew hew

til then!

tata.

10th Braces Update

So last week ( was it the week before?) I went for my usual check up.
nothing fancy the same routine macam biasa kecuali, Doc realised ada satu bracket
yang dah tercabut. Actually dari last appointment lagi dah noticed memang ade bracket
yang dan tak lekat tapi doc tak mau buat ape2 lagi.

Kali ni doc pesan tak perlu lagi pakai elastic band. gigi dah nicely placed. Alhamdulillah
tapi masalah lain pulak bila bracket yang satu tu tertanggal, doc kena bukak balik wire bawah dan pasang bracket baru and guna wire nipis semula. Doc kata makan kena jaga2 kalau tak tercabut lagi.
Buang masa lah kiranye.

So in the pics below you can see the lower teeth dah pasang balik wire yang nipis tu with separated bands. Yang atas tak perlu usik apa2 cuma tukar band biasa. Doc jugak pesan, gigi bawah akan bergerak and mungkin spacing akan berlaku, tapi itu normal, nanti bila pasang wire tebal tu akan kembali rapat. Itu kate die. Mak ngangguk je.

I am forever blue, so pilih blue sekali lagi. Bukan apa, nampak gigi macam putih nila hehe.

Comparison bulan Sept & Oct. Boleh nampak movement gigi atas yang dah masuk kemas
