Organic soya drink for Achik
Achik is approaching 22 months old. Although I am still expressing milk with a lot of struggle to combat laziness, I have slowly started introducing her to other milks in preparation for weaning. After successful introduction to fresh milk (seriously, she finished all the 3 oz on the very first day I introduced it), I am going to try organic soya drink on her. The brand is Melilea. Well, this is the only brand that I know. Hope that it will work just as successful as fresh milk.
The recommended serving is 1 scoop for 1 oz of water. But I am going to go for half first. So it is going to be 1 and a half scoops for 3 oz of water. Hmm ... Anyone has extra scoop?

Bidding farewell to my Maybank GSPA
After a number of postponements, Alhamdulillah, I finally managed to close my Maybank gold savings passbook account (GSPA) today.
I opened the Maybank GSPA in June 2010 without much knowledge about gold investment. The only thing I knew was that, I had to start somewhere investing in or saving gold. The easiest choice available then was Maybank GSPA. Furthermore, the account was deemed halal i.e. syariah compliant then. Sadly, Maybank recent move to rebrand Maybank GSPA to Maybank gold investment account (MGIA) nullifies its syariah compliance status as amongst the new terms is that, gold withdrawal in the form of gold wafer is no longer allowed. Therefore, I had no other choice but to say good bye to my Maybank GSPA.

Behind the wheels with Angah and Achik
 |
| Angah: Let me drive, please ... Achik: No. |
 |
| Angah: LET ME DRIVE! |
 |
| Achik: NO! |
 |
| Angah: I drive. Achik: Abaaaah ... |
 |
| Angah & Achik: Ok, lets drive together (after abah interfered, of course) |
Power pumping our way to Ramadhan 1433H
Time flies. It is already Rejab now. Sya'ban will be here in no time, followed by Ramadhan. Achik will hit 2 years old this Ramadhan and I put 19th Ramadhan as the last milestone of our breastfeeding journey. Just like last year, when Ramadhan is approaching, my concern about EBM stock for Achik is also growing. Alhamdulillah, I managed to reach the targeted 160 oz last year, which were hardly used due to the number of leaves taken as a result of Achik hospitalisation series. Achik is currently taking only 6 oz a day. So, I am targetting half of the last year amount for the coming Ramadhan, i.e. 80 oz of EBM, assuming minimum daily production of 2 oz (so pathetic) during the holy month.
After successful experience with power pumping before, I believe that power pumping is the only way that works for me. So, I am going to go back to the power pumping routine starting from tomorrow until the last day of Sya'ban. Hopefully the perseverance will last longer this time. In the mean time ... 3 more days of fasting to repay :p

From Allah we came ...
... and to Him we shall return.
Last Sunday, we received a heartbreaking news on the demise of Allahyarhamah Siti Hasnah Hamzah who was killed in an accident, leaving behind two very small children and a beloved husband. I didn't know much about her, just that our kids are going to the same daycare centre. So, once in a while, we bumped into each other, exchanging short conversations or just smiles. Though from such short encounters, I can tell that she was the kind of mother every kid would want to have, and the dream wife of every husband. Kind and caring. But now, no more. My heart broke even more when thinking about her two little children, who hardly understand anything about losing their dear mother. Nazhan is turning into 4 years old this August and Husna is only 10 days older than Achik, and still fully breastfed like Achik. Oh Allah, Your tests are very tough sometimes, but You didn't give them except to those whom You know can endure them (Al Baqarah: 286). Indeed, Allah is Most Knowing. We pray that the husband, Mr. Naufal, and the children are given all the strength that they need to make it through. Amin. To Allahyarhamah Hasnah, may you rest in peace with your husband's blessing, Insya-Allah. Only this blog is left behind as memory. Al-faatihah.
