<br />
Lama sungguh tak bukak blog ni. Bersawang sudah. So many things has happened in my life. For instance, I'm 37 weeks pregnant! Nazhan bakal dapat adik in shaaAllah. It's about time Nazhan got a sibling. He's almost 5 years old. He's going to P1 primary school this August. Last Oct I went back to Malaysia for 2 months. When we got back here in Glasgow Nazhan was having trouble settling in at the nursery. Probably because most of his friends has gone to primary school and he saw lots of unfamiliar faces. Plus, his daddy couldn't come with us to Glasgow because he had some work to do in Malaysia. Separation anxiety kot. I couldn't leave him there in the nursery because he will cry his heart out. So I had to sit with him everyday, for about 4 weeks. That was in the past. Alhamdulillah now he's doing very well in the nursery, making new friends, his vocabulary has improved tremendously and his confidence level has increased. He always say 'thank you', 'sorry' and 'I love you mommy and daddy and adik'. <br />

<br />
Oh, and my husband has officially finished his Masters in Engineering and finally has been given an unpaid leave from MPOB to stay with me in Glasgow until I finish my PhD. So he will take care of me during my confinement. Berpantang di oversea rasanya simple sahaja kot, just jaga makan minum dan bertungku. Urut-urut tu takde la. I'll try to blog about how I berpantang in the UK. Hopefully everything will go smoothly, aamiin...<br />

It was chaotic. Originally we've planned to booked the flight ticket a ween before my PhD registration which was supposedly on 4th Feb. But I was waiting for my ATAS (Academic Technology Approved Scheme) certificate as it is compulsory to have it for visa application. When I finally got the certificate hubby and I went to submit the visa application form at Wisma MCA. We had to use the priority service from VSF that would cost more but they claimed that we can get our visa within 3-5 days. Long story short, I've waited for hours at the Wisma MCA on 4th Feb and at 3.30 pm (they close at 2 by the way) we finally got our visas. Alhamdulillah. It was a relieve because we have booked the flight ticket on the very same day at 11.50 pm. Crazy right? But we managed to get on board on time. My mom, dad and my siblings were very helpful. There are lots of things I wanna share in this blog but gotta go now. Gotto send my son to the nursery. I'll write more soon.<br />

Yesterday I watch Eat Pray Love movie at my home. Yeah I know, I'm outdated on this one..Movie ni dah lama pun..Anyway, I want to tell a bit about this movie which I find very interesting.<br />
<br />
‘Eat Pray Love’ – The Movie, is based on Elizabeth Gilbert’s book
also titled ‘Eat Pray Love’, a memoir of her travels around the world,
specifically Italy, India and Bali in an attempt to truly find herself.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the other hand, ‘Eat Pray Love’ – The book, was on ‘The New York
Times Best Sellers’ list, an international bestseller, selling over 10
million copies worldwide, and the reason for this movie.<br />

<br />
The author Liz Gilbert played by Julia Roberts, wakes up one day and realize that she was
lost and unhappy. She discovers that her marriage was causing her too
much sadness and misery, and ends it with divorce. To find her way she
ventures on a series of destinations that will help her discover how to
truly ‘Eat’ – Food (Italy), ‘Pray’ – Spirituality (India) and ‘Love’ –
(Bali).<br />
<br />
This movie, possibly even the book (which I have not read), lists
more inner feelings that stem from the fields of self loathing, regret
and fear, but the author awakens to these things, that they exist in
her. That they exist in her life, in her heart, in her mind, and she
has drawn on courage to venture towards change, towards hope, towards
love. Love which she discovers as being the ‘balance’ needed. Love of
self, love of others, love of life.<br />
<br />
Eat – So she sets out on her journey and makes friends in Italy. She
eats, and eats, and eats. Not feeling the sting of guilt for over
indulging or gaining more weight. Her remedy is to eat some more, and
if the jeans don’t fit, buy a bigger pair. In a quick montage, we see
her and her newly made friend eating and buying bigger jeans one after
another. She learns expression through the Italian culture, as her
guide teaches her the language and their way of being a true Italian.
Its all speaking with your hands.<br />

<br />
Pray – After having a wonderful
time in Italy, she is pumped for her next journey, except this part of
the journey finds her in disarray. She goes to an Ashram which is a
spiritual hermitage (a place to spiritually gather in religious
seclusion). Here she meets Richard from Texas which at first glance
their introduction to each other seems like chalk and cheese, but in
time, they become very close and warm friends. Her personal yearning
for inner peace has become more like a battlefield and not what she
expected. At a glance, by being here its like she expected to be
smothered with peace. But in steps reality where true peace is not an
easy river to find or cross. It’s going to take swimming a moat to
reach, an image that Richard puts to Liz in an effort to tell her that
she may want the castle (peace) but she’ll have to earn it by swimming
the mote to get there. We continue to see Liz mastering her own
awkwardness and feelings of guilt with a broken marriage, through
meditation and coming to terms with her barriers. It seems this part of
her discovery is dealing with the reality of where her life is, and how
it brought her to this moment.<br />

<br />
Love – Her last destination is actually a return to her inspiration
in the beginning. Previously Liz met a medicine man in Bali, Ketut. He relayed what was going to happen to her
in her life by reading her palm. He goes on to tell her that she will
live in Bali for three or so months and she will help him with his
English, and in return he will teach her all that he knows. He gives
her a picture that means to be firm standing which is signified by four
legs supporting the figure. And instead of a head with a face, we see
the face over the heart which signifies to look at the world through
your heart and not with your head. She leaves with the picture which
becomes the source of her journey when what Ketut read from her palm,
happens.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB7ZVuVKMMJKJHW_ibdAMV-vdY7NPk9uwH4ODWJ8VVZDBv2_Ux8HkdIyJmlvdFZDFAn5b87Kj0uuJYqblea_U5vcvLg8T80qXVSGwi0dh6CC053ESihcr3xuQPOC1YczP7FvYdkt_Zefk/s1600/2010_eat_pray_love.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB7ZVuVKMMJKJHW_ibdAMV-vdY7NPk9uwH4ODWJ8VVZDBv2_Ux8HkdIyJmlvdFZDFAn5b87Kj0uuJYqblea_U5vcvLg8T80qXVSGwi0dh6CC053ESihcr3xuQPOC1YczP7FvYdkt_Zefk/s320/2010_eat_pray_love.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
When she returns to Ketut, she scribes for him, putting down all his
words onto another lasting copy. While here she meets, purely by
accident, an accident that drove her off the road while push bike
riding, by a charming Brazilian man Philippe. It is here that she also
meets Wayan a Bali female and her daughter, a local traditional healer.
She becomes close to Wayan and builds a lasting friendship with her. A
connection blossoms for her and Philippe, a connection that turns into
romance. Not quite at first, but gradual.<br />
With all her adventures finally coming together in balance, love
seems to be the most important lesson for her to learn. Love mended her
broken heart.<br />
<br />
Liz was coming up to her birthday, and instead of a typical gift for
herself, she contacted her friends and told them about Wayan. How in
Bali a divorced woman gets nothing. That Wayan had to sell everything,
even her bathmat to pay for a lawyer to keep her daughter. With nowhere
to go, they moved from place to place and Tutti (the daughter) had to
change schools often. So she invites her friends to forgo a gift to her
and help Wayan by donating so that she could have a home. With this
single act, hearts overflowed with generosity and Wayan was given money
(from Liz’s friends) to own and build her very own place. It was a very
moving moment to watch, to see the love and joy felt and expressed.<br />
<br />
In her email to her freinds, she wrote:<br />
<h6 class="uiStreamMessage" data-ft="{"type":1}">
<i><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">Dear
friends and loved ones: My birthday's coming up soon. If I were home,
I'd be planning a stupid, expensive birthday party and you'd all be
buying me gifts and bottles of wine. A cheaper, more lovely way to
celebrate would be to make a donation to help a healer named Wayan
Nuriyasih buy a house in Indonesia. She's a single mother. ln Bali,
after a divorce, a woman gets nothing,<span class="text_exposed_show">
not even her children. To gain custody of her daughter, Tutti, Wayan had
to sell everything, even her bath mat, to pay for a lawyer. For years,
they've moved from place to place. Each time, Wayan loses clientele and
Tutti has to change schools. This little group of people in Bali have
become my family. And we must take care of our families, wherever we
find them. Today l saw Tutti playing with a blue tile she'd found in the
road near a hotel construction site. She told me: Maybe if we have a
house someday, it can have a pretty blue floor like this. When I was in
Italy, I learned a word - It's "tutti" with double T, which in ltalian
means "everybody." So that's the lesson, isn't it? When you set out in
the world to help yourself, sometimes you end up helping Tutti.</span></span></i> </h6>
So If you like journeys of self discovery, then this
is that perfect movie that can make you rethink, review, and relive.
There is a lot of honesty portrayed as Liz opens you up and invites you
to walk with her. Italy, India, Bali. They’re just locations, but the
growing is where the living begins. See
it with an eye of discovery, and a willingness to open yourself to the
honesty of self, of you. <br />

<i>”In the end, I’ve come to believe in something I call the
Physics of the quest. A force in nature governed by laws as real as the
laws of gravity. The rule of quest physics goes something like this.
If you’re brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and
comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter old
resentments, and set out on a truth seeking journey either externally or
internally. And if you are truly willing to regard everything that
happens to you on that journey as a clue. And if you accept everyone
you meet along the way as a teacher. And if you are prepared most of
all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself,
then the truth will not be withheld from you.”</i></blockquote>N.Z.Zamirahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01407877848735018587noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749770822439645353.post-24053257166949016982012-04-01T22:19:00.000+08:002012-04-01T22:19:24.401+08:00On preparation for doing PhDAssalamualaikum<br />
<br />
It's been so long since I last wrote..<br />
A little update on my preparation for doing PhD..<br />
In January 2012 I received a conditional offer letter from the University of Glasgow, Scotland. I'm applying at the School of Medicine, Veterinary and Dental under the Institute of Immunology & Infectious Disease. In order to get the unconditional offer letter I have to take IELTS test. So at the end of February I registered for IELTS on 10th March, which is only 2 weeks apart. Only 2 weeks to really focus on studying English. I did the exercises in the book bought at British Council. The last 3 days I spent studying at the British Council, using the computer and all. Alhamdulillah I got 7.5 band. I'm so happy with the result given the short time of studying.<br />
Having passed IELTS, I got an unconditional offer letter from the University. So now I have to apply for passport and ATAS to get CAS number. Still a long way to go...hope everything will go well..N.Z.Zamirahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01407877848735018587noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749770822439645353.post-6042938905330834832012-01-29T18:35:00.001+08:002012-01-29T18:44:24.972+08:00How to make a cake stand for cupcakes or mini cakesFrom http://cakejournal.com/tutorials/how-to-make-a-cake-stand-for-cupcakes-or-mini-cakes/<br />

I think when serving <a href="http://www.cakejournal.com/archives/tag/cupcakes">cupcakes</a> or mini <a href="http://www.cakejournal.com/archives/tag/cake">cakes</a>, they look so much better when served on a cake stand. So I have made a tutorial that will show you how to make a cupcake cake stand. When you have all the materials ready it is very easy and quick to make. You can adapt it to the colour or pattern on your cakes. I have used thick gift wrap paper to cover the cake boards. If you like you can place a 6″ cake on the top tier. I would not recommend to place any larger cake on top. <br />
<span id="more-30"></span><br />
<b>Note: Remember when you have assembled the cake stand with cakes on it, not to move it around too much.</b><br />
<b>A 5 TIER CAKE STAND CAN HOLD ABOUT 51 REGULAR CUPCAKES.</b><br />

<b>Cake boards</b>: 1×8″, 1×10″, 1×12″<br />
<b>Note:</b> If you want two more tiers on the stand, you will need 1×14″ + 1×16″ cake boards. <br />
<b>Styrofoam cake dummies</b> Each 2″ high in the sizes: 2X6″ and 2×7″ (If you can get 4″ high Styrofoam cake dummies, then you will only need 1 in each size)<br />
<b>Note:</b> You will need 2×8″ 2×9″ Styrofoam cake dummies for two more tiers.<br />
Satin ribbon, enough for both cake boards and the Styrofoam cake dummies<br />

<br />
Lately, I'm in the mood of baking..last week I made red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and chocolate ganache..today I made macaroon..lemon macaroon..this is my 2nd attempt of making it..last time I made, it didn't come out right..the 'foot' doesn't come out..but this time around, the feet came out and I could taste the soft and chewiness..because the macaroon itself is very sweet so I paired it with lemon curd filling to lessen the sweetness of the macaroon..<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So here's the recipe:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Adapted from Dorie Greenspan</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Ingredients</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span data-jsid="text">2 1/4 cups cake flour<br />
1 tablespoon baking powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt (<span style="color: #660000;">omit if u’re using salted butter</span>)<br />
1 1/4 cups milk or buttermilk <br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">4 large egg whites<br />
¾ cup sugar (<span style="color: #660000;">I cut the sugar. The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cup</span>)<br />
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest <span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
120gm unsalted butter, softened <br />
1/2 teaspoon pure lemon extract <br />
Gel or powder food coloring<br />
2 tsp vanilla essence <br />
<br />
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and put a rack in the middle or upper third of the oven. Butter two 5 inch pans and line with buttered parchment paper.<br />
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites and buttermilk. I whisked the mixture using hand for about 1 minute. <br />
3. Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer on medium speed for a full 3 minutes until very light and fluffy. <br />
Beat in half of the egg-buttermilk mixture, then flour mixture, then the last of the egg-buttermilk mixture, and finally the last of the flour, beating until the batter is smooth. Beat the entire batter on medium high for two minutes until completely smooth and mixed.<br />
4. Divide the batter in 6, dye each batter with different colour. Bake 20 minutes, rotating halfway through, or until a thin knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in the pans five minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack. To ensure moistness, once the cakes are cooled, wrap immediately and chill.<br />
<br />
</span></span></div><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">For the Cream Cheese Frosting</span>:<br />
4 ounces butter, at room temperature<br />
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature<br />
4 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature<br />
1 cup powdered sugar<br />
1 tablespoon vanilla extract<br />
<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">To make the frosting</span>: Using the whisk attachment, whip the butter and cheese on high speed for about 5 minutes, scraping the bowl down as necessary. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the powdered sugar until all is incorporated. Add the vanilla and mix to combine. Increase the speed to medium high and whip for a few minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy, scraping the bowl as necessary. <br />
<br />

You have brought us so much joy, even before you were born. I can still vividly remember the day you were born a year ago. You were such a cutie pie every one who sees you couldn’t help falling in love with you. You were so alert and agile even the Doctor was surprised to see you eyeing your surrounding with wide open eyes. From the day onwards, you make our days become more meaningful. You were an active baby and you always cheer us up with your giggles and laughter. At two and a half month you can already lying on your tummy and not too long after that you have started to crawl. You are full with determination that you begun walking at 9 months and three weeks. We hope that you continue to be a person with strong willpower and determination in everything that you do. We will always be there to guide you and support your dreams (as long as it doesn’t involve being a singer or an actor). We will listen, give guidance and do what’s necessary to make you a good man and a good servant of Allah. When it comes to our religion, we will be strict with you but we will explain to you of why we should follow Al-Quran and Sunnah. You were named after a great warrior of Islam, Salman Al-farisi and therefore we hope you’ll be as courageous and brilliant as he was.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

There were no longer 6 hours of sleeping for us especially for mama as I’m still breastfeed you. Nap time hardly exist in mama’s world. Breastfeeding was never an easy thing. There’s a whole different story on that chapter. Money was tight now that we have more responsibilities but the sacrifices couldn’t measure up to the bliss of having you in our life. We’ve decided long ago that we want to teach you to appreciate the value of money and we don’t want to spoil you with lavish things. Remember to be a humble and responsible man, son. No matter how high you reach up for the sky, always keep your feet firmly grounded.

</div><div style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">Directions:</span></div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">1. </span>Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease two 8-inch pans with sides about 1 1/2 inches deep and line each with parchment paper.</div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"> <span class="step">2</span>. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water, then set aside to cool.</div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span class="step">3</span>. In a large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt, then stir in the ground almonds. Using an electric stand or hand-held mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract to the eggs. With the beaters running, very slowly add the egg mixture to the butter and sugar, adding 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture during the process to prevent curdling, then add the melted chocolate and buttermilk.<span class="step"> </span></div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span class="step">4</span>. Very gently fold in the remaining flour and divide the mixture between the pans.<span class="step"> </span></div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span class="step">5</span>. Bake on the center shelf for 30 to 35 minutes, or until risen and firm to the touch. Leave the cakes to cool slightly in the pan before turning on to cooling racks.<span class="step"> </span></div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span class="step">6</span>. Once cold, remove the papers and slice each cake in half horizontally through the middle.<span class="step"> </span></div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div style="color: yellow; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span class="step">7</span>. To make the icing, melt the chocolate following the method above. Set aside to cool slightly, then beat together with the butter. Using an offset spatula, spread evenly to sandwich the layers together and cover the top of the cake. </div><div style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><br />

<div style="color: red;">Red Velvet Cupcake (drpd internet):</div><br />
2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour<br />
1 teaspoon baking powder<br />
1 teaspoon salt<br />
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder<br />
2 oz. red food coloring (two bottles) <br />
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened<br />
1 1/2 cups sugar<br />
2 eggs, at room temperature<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature<br />
1 teaspoon white vinegar<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
<br />
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 12-cup muffin tins or silicone pans with cupcake liners.<br />
<br />
2. Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside. In a smaller bowl, mix food coloring and cocoa powder to form a thin paste without lumps and set aside.<br />
<br />
3. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about three minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla and the red cocoa paste, scraping down the bowl with a spatula as you go. Add one third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beat well, then beat in half of the buttermilk. Beat in another third of flour mixture, then second half of buttermilk. End with the last third of the flour mixture, beat until well combined, making sure to scrape down the bowl with a spatula.<br />
<br />
4. In a small bowl, mix vinegar and baking soda. Be careful as it will fizz so don't do it in a shallow bowl. Add vinegar mixture to the cake batter and stir well to combine. Fill cupcake cups with cake batter until they are a little under 3/4 full. I ended up with 20 cupcakes. Place muffin tins in your preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20, rotating pans halfway through. The cupcakes are done when you are able to pat the tops and the cake springs back up. If it sinks down they are not yet complete. Or you can insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake in the center of the tin and if it comes out clean they are done!<br />
<br />
5. Cool the cupcakes in their tins on a wire rack for 10 minutes then remove and allow to cool completely before frosting.<br />
<br />
6. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<br />
For the cream cheese frosting:<br />
• 1 1/2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature<br />
• 1 pound butter, room temperature<br />
• 2 pounds powdered sugar, sifted<br />
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract<br />
<br />
<br />
Whip the butter and cream cheese together in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until creamed. Gradually add powdered sugar to the mixture and scrape down the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.<br />
<br />

Menghadiri kursus BTN merupakan salah satu syarat untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negara. Program ni berlangsung pada 20-24 Oktober 2011 bertempat di Akademi Kenegaraan Jalan Bellamy Kuala Lumpur. Nasib baik la dekat je. First time tinggal anak dan suami.<br />
<br />
Walau pun tak tido sekali dengan anak, tapi penyusuan susu ibu tetap diteruskan. Ada je masa terluang saya akan pam. Nasib baik ada fridge walau pun kecik. Ada 3 orang lagi peserta BTN yg juga menyusu. Weekend hubby datang untuk bawa balik susu EBM dan dapat jumpa Nazhan. Nampak sangat dia rindu mama dia.<br />
<br />
Ok, cerita pasal BTN pulak..di sana kami diberi wacana minda tentang Gagasan 1 Malaysia, sejarah tanah air kita, Perlembagaan Malaysia dan cabaran2 ke arah negara maju. Ada jugak LDK di mana kami mendapat lebih pemahaman tentang sejarah negara dan kepentingan memahami apa yg terkandung dalam Perlembagaan. Memang sangat berinformasi. Yang pasti, bila balik saya jadi lebih sayangkan tanah air ini dan berdoa semoga Malaysia akan sentiasa menjadi aman makmur.

Now that I have become a Tutor and soon-to-be a Lecturer at National Defence University of Malaysia, life is getting hectic but in a beautiful way. Why? Because I love my job. I love teaching. I've been a researcher for almost two years and I didn't like it. Orang kata, tak kena dengan jiwa la.. When I was a researcher, I had to drag myself off the bed in the morning just to go to work. But now, I don't mind waking up early to go to work.</div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Aside from teaching students and marking papers and so on, I have to find a place for PhD within 1 year. and since I had both my 1st degree and Masters in Malaysia, it is compulsory to do PhD abroad. So right now I'm busy with reading journals, writing proposal, studying English for IELTS, and so on..I really hope that everything will be smooth sailing. Pray for me ya.. </div>

This is the time when we visited our family, relatives and friends. And this is also the time when we gobble our faces with so many foods...lemang, ketupat, rendang, nasi himpit and kuah kacang, all the biskut raya, and the list goes on and on...<br />
<br />
This year hubby and I celebrated Raya as parents for the first time. I'm utterly happy that I can celebrate raya with hubby and our baby..you know, the experience of searching and buying his first baju melayu and all..<br />

So here's a video on how to look natural with make up by Bobbi Brown..<br />

</div>Now that I have been baking for a while, I have clear vision on the direction I am heading for. The impression of macaroon has been stubbornly stuck in my mind recently and I cannot help but want to think of opportunities to get my hands working on them. With that in mind, I will be planning macaroon projects at least once every month so as to gain some practice and experience. <br />
<div style="text-indent: .5in;">After weeks of hesitating (takut nak buat sebab takut tak jadi) finally Cuti Nuzul Quran hari tu saya try buat macaroon..this is my first time ever..I made chocolate macaroon with chocolate ganache as the filling. <span lang="SV">Bahan-bahannya tak banyak tapi tekniknya agak susah. Saya follow resepi ini drpd internet:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Chocolate Macaroon:</u></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The shells:</i></div><div class="MsoNormal">- 140 g almond powder </div><div class="MsoNormal">- 250 g powdered sugar </div><div class="MsoNormal">- 25 g cocoa powder </div><div class="MsoNormal">- 100 g egg whites (aged)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: white;">11</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The filling, Chocolate Cream Ganache:</i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">- 230 g bittersweet chocolate, chopped</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">- 250 g heavy cream</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">- 60 g unsalted butter, room temperature</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b>METHOD</b>: </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-AU">1. Sift almond meal and icing sugar through fine sieve and set aside.</span><span lang="EN-AU"> </span> <i> </i> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; margin-bottom: 12pt;">2. Whip the egg white until it become really frothy. While beating the egg white, gradually add caster sugar (fine sugar) one tablespoon by one tablespoon at a time. Continue whipping the egg white until it almost reaches its peak. The egg white should be stiff and glossy. Put the food coloring in and mix just to combine. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; text-indent: -0.25in;"> 3. Put the almond meal & icing sugar mixture into the whipped egg white. Stir vigorously for the first 10 stokes or so. Then continue to mix the mixture until fully combined. At this point, you might wonder if you have deflated your meringue. Don't worry, we're not after the air and texture of meringue. It's more important that the batter is totally blend-in and combined. The batter should have the consistency of thick cake batter and have the ribbon-like consistency...or many website described it as "magma-like consistency". </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> 4. The mixture can be left at this stage for about 10 mins. So, I use this 10 mins to get organise with my trays and piping bag. Line the baking trays (you might need about 2 large trays for this recipe) with silpat or <b>non-stick</b> baking paper.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; text-indent: -0.25in;"> 5. Spoon the mixture into the piping bag, using 1cm piping tip (plain round tip, size 11). Pipe into 3cm round size. Leave 3 cms space between each shell</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; text-indent: -0.25in;"> 6. Don’t worry if the piped macarons don’t look flat and smooth. This is actually a good thing. It means you didn’t overmix the batter. You can tap the tray on the bench several times to help flattening macarons. </div><div style="color: #eeeeee;">7. Leave the tray out in the room temp for about 1-2 hrs until you can touch the top of the shell without it sticks to your finger (this can also take 30 mins depending on the temperature and humidity). </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; text-indent: -0.25in;"> 8. Preheat the oven to 160c (convection oven), just before you put the trays in, reduce the temp to 140c (convection) and bake for 15-18 mins. Baking time will depend on the size of macarons and oven. So, I usually keep a close eye on them after 15 mins. The cookie should be dry and crisp but not colour.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; text-indent: -0.25in;"> 9. Remove the shells from the oven, leave them cool on tray for few minutes. Gently remove them onto the cooling rack. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: red;">"Trick: if you spray water onto the tray under the baking paper, this will tremendously help releasing macarons from the paper. "</span></b><span style="color: red;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="color: #222222;"> <span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;">10. Spread or pipe chilled lemon curd (below recipe) into the shell and sandwich them together.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; text-indent: -0.25in;"> 11. You can taste the fruit of your labour straight away. But I find that macaron tastes better and achieve its chewy texture after it's been in the fridge for at least 24 hours. Put the macarons in an air-tight container and put them in the fridge. I believe that they keep well in the fridge for about a week. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="color: #222222;">********</span></div><div class="MsoNormal">I’ve followed the recipe closely, however to my disappointment, the foot doesn't come out.. I end up getting flat macaroon..I don’t know what went wrong..maybe telur putih tu tak cukup kembang kot..or the temperature of the oven and the timing..tapi rasanya agak sedap..looks like I have to try again.. Practice makes perfect right?? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Wish me luck * finger crossed*<br />

Love, <br />

Nama anak: Nazhan Alfarisi bin Mohd Firdaus<br />
Tarikh lahir anak: 18 November 2010<br />

Sebenarnya saya tak sempat pun masuk pertandingan ni tapi saya rakamkan juga pengalaman saya di blog ni untuk sekadar berkongsi pengalaman. Susah rasanya nak menang sebab banyak ibu-ibu hebat yang tabah menghadapi kesukaran menyusu badan.<br />
<br />
Pada hari raya Aidil Adha (17-11-2010) jam 7 pagi, saya mula rasa kontraksi yang agak kerap. Lepas tu ada darah keluar<b> d</b>an saya memang dah tahu itu tanda-tanda nak bersalin (melalui pembacaan). Saya dan suami terus kemas barang dan balik ke rumah mak saya di Ampang (40 minit perjalanan je). Disebabkan hari tu hari raya, sempat lagi saya makan ketupat dan rendang. Sempat lagi keluar lunch di luar dengan family. Jam 12 tengah malam tu baru la saya masuk labor room di Ampang Putri. Tapi masa tu bukaan cuma 4 cm. Saya dan suami disuruh bermalam di bilik bersalin tu. Mama, ayah dan adik-adik saya tunggu di ruang menunggu di luar wad bersalin. Mereka pun bermalam di hospital jugak. Walaupun tak boleh tidur tapi saya paksa juga tidur sekejap supaya ada tenaga untuk 'push'. Lebih kurang jam 4-5 pagi, jururawat datang bagitau yang Dr Zalina tak ada dan Dr Arun yang akan ganti. Dr Arun datang dan suruh jururawat 'induce' saya dengan pitocin dan pecahkan air ketuban. Sejurus selepas itu, sakit kontraksi semakin kerap dan kuat. Saya hanya menggenggam tangan suami sambil berzikir dan berdoa. Dapat juga la saya tidur sekejap. Saya masih dapat tahan rasa sakit tu. Sepanjang berada di wad bersalin saya hanya menjamah sekeping biskut dan separuh kurma. Tak selera nak makan sebab takut dan sakit. Jam 7.50 pagi saya terjaga dan sakit kontraksi semakin kuat. Bila kontraksi berlaku selang seminit, cepat-cepat saya suruh suami panggil jururawat. 2-3 orang jururawat pun mula buat persedian untuk saya bersalin. Saya disuruh meneran bila-bila rasa nak teran. Semakin lama semakin sakit kontraksi. Kontraksi sangat kuat dan kerap. Sampai ke tulang belakang.Suami sentiasa menemani disisi sambil berzikir di telinga saya. Lebih kurang jam 8.30 agaknya, tiba-tiba nurse cakap Dr Zalina dah sampai. Alhamdulillah lega sikit rasanya. Selepas beberapa kali 'push' (tak tau berapa kali) akhirnya jam 9.14 am lahirlah putera sulung saya dengan bantuan kiwi vacuum sebab degupan jantung bayi menurun. Dalam bilik bersalin itu jugalah saya memulakan penyusuan. Nurse memeriksa sama ada cara bayi melekap betul atau tidak. Bermula lah episod saya sebagai ibu yang menyusu. Memang sejak mengandung lagi saya telah menanam niat untuk menyusu anak sehingga berumur 2 tahun.<br />

Hari pertama Nazhan dilahirkan, dia kelihatan cergas. Matanya sentiasa memerhati keadaan sekeliling. Saya kerap menyusukan Nazhan namun saya rasakan yang dia tak cukup kenyang. Tapi bila tanya nurse, nurse cakap teruskan saja menyusu. Hari kedua, susu matang masih belum keluar. Saya cuba pam susu menggunakan Medela Swing yang dibeli semasa mengandung lagi, tapi susu yang keluar hanya di paras bawah botol sahaja. Saya sedih dan stress. Boleh katakan setiap nurse yang masuk ke bilik saya tanyakan betul tak cara saya menyusu sebab saya rasa bayi macam tak kenyang. Lewat petang hari kedua itu Nazhan nampak macam tak bermaya. Asyik tidur saja. Menyusu pun sekejap saja terus tidur. Saya dan suami risau. Malam tu nurse bagi susu formula sebanyak 1 oz pada Nazhan. Esoknya, nurse beritahu kami yang Nazhan kena jaundice. Kami mengambil keputusan untuk bermalam di hospital supaya saya dapat menyusukan Nazhan dengan kerap. Saya meminta supaya nurse telefon kami setiap kali Nazhan terjaga dan menangis. Tak kira jam berapa pun, 2 pagi, 3 pagi, 5 pagi, kami tetap pergi ke nursery tempat Nazhan diberi rawatan. Susu yang dipam masih terlalu sedikit namun saya kumpulkan juga sikit demi sikit. Nazhan sangat lemah masa tu, menyusu pun dah tak larat. Sudahnya, nurse bagi susu formula lagi. Sedih kerana hajat untuk menyusu badan secara eksklusif tak tercapai. Namun, azam saya untuk menyusu badan selama yang mungkin masih belum terpadam. Hari ketiga Nazhan berada di nursery tersebut, saya dan suami pulang ke rumah mak saya di Ampang. Hanya 1 hari saya tak menyusukan Nazhan dan Nazhan diberi susu formula. Hari keempat Nazhan di hospital, kami diberi kebenaran untuk membawa Nazhan pulang. Alhamdulillah.<br />

Pada awal penyusuan memang sakit. Bengkak, melecet dan luka hingga berdarah, ditambah pula dengan luka jahitan perineum yang lambat sembuh. Tapi itu semua tak mematahkan semangat saya untuk terus menyusu. Sebaik Nazhan pulang ke rumah, saya dapati dia tak mahu menyusu badan. Puas dicuba banyak kali tapi dia menangis kuat-kuat. Mungkin kerana dia mengalami keliru puting. Cuma 1 hari saya tak menyusukan dia semasa dia di hospital tapi 1 hari tu sudah cukup untuk memberi masalah besar kepada kami. Seminggu saya cuba menyusukan dia tapi tak berjaya. Terpaksa lah kami memberinya susu formula. Setiap kali menyusu saya akan menangis. Bukan kerana sakit tapi kerana sedih Nazhan taknak menyusu. Saya teruskan juga mengepam susu yang sedikit. Suami beli beberapa jenis nipple puller untuk membantu tapi tak berjaya. Ibu mertua saya yang merupakan bekas bidan datang membantu. Jenuh paksa Nazhan menghisap sampai dia menangis sampai hilang suara. Saya tak sampai hati. Akhirnya, setelah 3, 4 hari berusaha, baru lah Nazhan nak menyusu secara terus. Tapi susu saya masih sedikit. Setiap kali pam saya cuma dapat tak sampai 1 oz. Mak saya agak tegas tentang berpantang, bertungku kena dua kali sehari sampai sejam lebih. Saya tak punya banyak masa untuk mengepam susu. Jadi saya tak dapat pam dengan kerap. Ditambah pula dengan stress sebab susu tak banyak. Suami sentiasa memberi galakan kerana melihatkan kesungguhan saya untuk menyusu badan. Dalam masa sebulan semasa berpantang saya mengajak suami berjumpa dengan pakar laktasi di SusuIbu.com di Bangi. Saya berjumpa dengan Puan Kamariah. Beliau mengajarkan posisi menyusu yang sesuai dan mencadangkan supaya saya menggunakan 'supplemental tube' yang disambung dengan susu perahan atau susu formula supaya bayi melekap lebih lama untuk merangsang pengeluaran susu. Setelah sebanyak 2 sesi saya berjumpa dengan beliau, saya semakin yakin untuk meneruskan penyusuan badan.<br />

Setelah habis berpantang, saya pulang ke rumah saya di Kajang. Di rumah sendiri, baru saya dapat pam susu sekerap mungkin. Saya banyak mencari ilmu penyusuan melalui pelbagai blog-blog ibu menyusu termasuk Dunia Susu Ibu. Daripada maklumat yang saya peroleh, barulah saya sedar yang sebenarnya terlalu banyak benda yang saya tak tahu walau pun saya telah banyak membaca mengenai penyusuan badan semasa mengandung. Saya mula membuat jadual pam. Walau pun letih dan tak cukup tidur saya gagahi juga mengepam dan menyusu secara terus. Stok susu saya waktu itu sangat sedikit. Mujur saya lambat masuk kerja semula kerana menunggu surat sambung kontrak. Masa yang ada itu saya gunakan untuk menambah stok susu badan. Lama kelamaan, hasil susu perahan saya semakin bertambah, walau pun tak lah sebanyak orang lain yang sekali pam dapat berbelas-belas oz. Tapi saya tetap bersyukur.<br />

Setelah saya kembali bekerja semula, sekali lagi saya tertekan kerana stok EBM saya tak banyak. Jadi saya terpaksa pam sekerap mungkin di pejabat. Saya cuba pam sebanyak 4 kali sehari, namun apabila kerja semakin bertambah, ditambah pula dengan 'usikan' rakan sekerja, saya kurangkan kepada dua atau tiga kali sehari. Oleh kerana saya menggunakan single pump (Medela Swing), saya mengambil masa lebih kurang 40 minit untuk menghabiskan sesi pengepaman kedua-dua belah payudara. Setiap kali mengepam saya akan melihat jam dan sentiasa gelisah kerana risaukan kerja dan cakap-cakap orang. Ini mengurangkan kuantiti EBM saya. Akhirnya saya dan suami mengambil keputusan untuk membeli Medela Freestyle. Sehingga sekarang saya tidak pernah menyesal membeli pam tersebut walau pun mahal kerana saya menganggap ia sebagai satu pelaburan jangka masa panjang. Dengan double pump, saya dapat jimatkan masa sesi pengepaman dan saya dapat mengepam di mana-mana pada bila-bila masa. Tambahan pula double pumping dapat meningkatkan hormon prolaktin untuk penghasilan susu. Saya pernah mengepam susu semasa memandu kereta kerana tak sempat pam di pejabat, di stesyen minyak dan banyak tempat lagi. Kalau saya terpaksa ke kursus saya akan membawa anak dan suami saya bersama untuk saya menyusu secara terus sambil mengepam susu.<br />

<br />
<br />
<ol><li><span style="color: red;">Perbaharui niat</span> untuk menyusui anak kerana Allah. <span style="color: red;"> YAKIN </span>Allah yang beri susu. Bukan susu untuk ibu menyusu jenama ABC, XYZ atau sebarang produk lain.</li>
<li>Berdoa : “Ya Allah, aku ingin menyusu anakku kerana suruhanMu. Bantulah aku Ya Allah agar dapat menunaikan ibadah puasa di bulan Ramadhan. Bantulah aku untuk bersabar dan mudahkanlah aku menyusu anakku”.</li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Menyegerakan berbuka puasa dan melewatkan makan sahur</span>. Nabi saw bersabda: “Umatku tetap berada di dalam kebaikan, selama mana mereka menyegerakan berbuka puasa dan melewatkan makan sahur”</li>
<li>Fokus pada <a href="http://www.nutriweb.org.my/downloads/dietary_bm.pdf" target="_blank">KUALITI</a>, bukan KUANTITI.</li>
<li>Berbuka puasa dan bersahur dengan makanan seimbang yang kaya dengan protein, glukos dan cecair.</li>
<li>Makan banyak <a href="http://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokok_kurma" target="_blank">kurma</a>.</li>
<li>Minum cukup cecair. Elakkan minuman berkafein dan minuman gas.</li>
<li>Makan makanan berkarbohidrat dan kaya dengan serat.</li>
<li>Makan buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran.</li>
<li>Pastikan teknik penyusuan yang betul, kerapkan menyusui bayi.</li>
<li>Pastikan teknik mengepam dan menggunakan pam yang betul. </li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Lebihkan sesi menyusu secara terus dan mengepam pada waktu malam. Pam dan menyusu terus secara serentak.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Pam susu sebelum sahur.</span></li>
<li>Sediakan kurma dan botol air di dalam beg tangan. Mungkin anda akan mengalami kesesakan jalan raya dan terpaksa berbuka puasa di dalam kenderaan. Setibanya di rumah, pastikan anda berbuka puasa dahulu sebelum menyusu bayi anda (jika keadaan mengizinkan).</li>
<li>Sediakan lebih stok perahan susu ibu (EBM) sebagai persediaan menghadapi Ramadhan.</li>
<li>Ambil milk booster jika perlu.</li>
<li>Elakkan terlalu penat.</li>
<li>Jauhi stress dengan sentiasa berfikiran positif dan sentiasa ceria</li>
<li>Berjumpa dengan mereka yang pakar dalam bidang penyusuan sekiranya menghadapi masalah.</li>
</ol><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Kelonggaran meninggalkan puasa bagi wanita menyusukan anak</span></b><br />
<ul><li>Daripada Anas bin Malik Al-Ka’bi, bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: “Sesungguhnya Allah SWT telah meringankan bagi musafir dalam ibadat puasa dan separuh dari solat dan bagi wanita hamil dan menyusui (ia meringankan) puasa”.</li>
<li>Sekiranya ibu berbuka puasa kerana takut berlaku <span style="color: red;">kemudaratan pada dirinya</span> disebabkan puasanya itu, maka <span style="color: red;">wajib bagi ibu untuk qadha’ puasanya</span> sahaja.</li>
<li>Sekiranya ibu berbuka puasa kerana takut susunya akan berkurangan dan membahayakan anaknya, maka <span style="color: red;">wajib bagi ibu untuk qadha’ puasanya dan dikenakan fidyah</span> iaitu bersedekah satu cupak dari makanan asasi bagi hari yang dia berbuka.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.quranexplorer.com/quran/" target="_blank">Firman Allah</a>: <i>“(Puasa yang diwajibkan itu ialah) beberapa hari yang tertentu; maka sesiapa di antara kamu yang sakit atau dalam musafir, (bolehlah dia berbuka), kemudian wajiblah dia berpuasa sebanyak (hari yang dibuka) itu pada hari-hari yang lain; dan wajib atas orang-orang yang tidak terdaya berpuasa (kerana tua dan sebagainya) membayar fidyah iaitu memberi makan orang miskin. Maka sesiapa yang dengan sukarela memberikan (bayaran fidyah) lebih dari yang ditentukan itu, maka itu adalah suatu kebaikan baginya dan (walaupun demikian) berpuasa itu lebih baik bagi kamu (daripada memberi fidyah), kalau kamu mengetahui.”</i> [Al-Baqarah : 184] </li>

The author is e.e. cummings. I have to admit the first time I heard it was in the movie "In Her Shoes," which told a story of sisterly love. To me, it's a poem that can describe many types of love--that between sisters, lovers and mothers and children. It's that all or nothing love that is with you throughout life's trials and tribulations. It's the love that makes your stomach hurt and your heart pound because you love someone so much....</i></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; padding-left: 14px; padding-top: 20px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b> i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>(anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG8p_G7DgjZtF6YdAT0gFkSHJLT8ni8chyphenhyphena04kTDIJwajMs6-kRvj2aGCxyUGWBFvLJouEx-j_mCSPMrgskav2_236Z4O8hYdxeWoHwkOcPe6w49CfPBHhb5OJ5rVtEACXWJVzY6D5Y6k/s1600/DSC_1618+for+web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG8p_G7DgjZtF6YdAT0gFkSHJLT8ni8chyphenhyphena04kTDIJwajMs6-kRvj2aGCxyUGWBFvLJouEx-j_mCSPMrgskav2_236Z4O8hYdxeWoHwkOcPe6w49CfPBHhb5OJ5rVtEACXWJVzY6D5Y6k/s400/DSC_1618+for+web.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: black;">i fear</span> <span style="color: black;">no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: black;">i want</span> <span style="color: black;">no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)</span><br style="color: black;" /><span style="color: black;">and it's you... are whatever a moon has always meant</span><br style="color: black;" /><span style="color: black;">and whatever a sun will always sing is you</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Dipetik dari: <a href="http://www.momslittleones.com/catalog/download/Breastfeeding_Talk%28Healthy_Ramadhan%29.pdf">http://www.momslittleones.com/catalog/download/Breastfeeding_Talk(Healthy_Ramadhan).pdf</a><br />
<br />
Basically, a mother’s health will not be affected as long as she eats well and maintains a healthy diet.<br />
<blockquote><strong>Do I need to maintain a perfect diet while breastfeeding?</strong></blockquote>The short answer to this question is NO – you do not need to maintain a perfect diet in order to provide quality milk for your baby. In fact, research tells us that the quality of a mother’s diet has little influence on her milk. Nature is very forgiving – mother’s milk is designed to provide for and protect baby even in times of hardship and famine. A poor diet is more likely to affect the mother than her breastfed baby.<br />
Are healthy eating habits recommended for mom? Absolutely! You will be healthier and feel better if you eat well. Therefore, it is best for anyone to eat a variety of foods, in close to their naturally-occurring state. Mothers must also be cautious when taking overly processed foods or those exposed to chemicals. This is important as contaminants do get passed on to your baby from the food you eat.<br />
<br />
<strong>Nutritional Requirements</strong><br />
Basically a nursing mother needs 2550Kcal of energy, which is consists of 65g protein, 1200mg calcium, 28mg iron, 1200mcg Vitamin A, 10.0 mcg Vitamin D, 300 mcg folic acid, 50mg vitamin C and 16.6mcg of vitamin B6.<br />
<br />
<strong>Recommendations</strong><br />
<ul><li>A nutritious diet includes a variety of foods. This guide will help you plan a nutritious diet.</li>
<li>Drink fluids like milk, juice, soup or water when you are thirsty. A good way to remember to drink emough is to have a glass of milk, juice or water each time you breatfeed your baby.</li>
<li>It is best not to diet while you are breastfeeding, but you can limit foods that are high in sugar and fat.</li>
<li>Calcium is very important mineral for breastfeeding women. Soya milk is one of the best sources of calcium. If you don’t like any form of milk, add cheese, another food source of calcium, to eggs, rice dishes, and macaroni. Other food sources of calcium are greens, dried beans, broccoli, almonds, sardines, and salmon.</li>
</ul><strong>Recommended food intake</strong><br />
Grains/cereals – 12 servings<br />
Fats, oils & sweets – 10 tsp<br />
Meat, fish, eggs, beans & peas – 5 servings<br />
Milk, dairy products – 2-3 servings<br />
Vegetables and fruits – 3-4 servings<br />
<ul><li>Vegetables should always be eaten alone. Rule of thumbs, eat it alone or leave it alone. Why? It takes at most 30 mins to exit your digestive system.</li>
<li>If taken with other food, it will cause fermentation and interfere with the absorption of vital nutrients from the source.</li>
<li>In summary, it is not the amount of Calcoum that is significant. Its your ability to absorb the calcium your digesting and utilising it prroperly.</li>
<li>Rule of thumb, drink when thirsty. Best to drink everytime you’re feeding since most mother tend to forget.</li>
</ul><strong>Fasting and Breastfeeding: Challeges for Nursing Moms</strong><br />
<ul><li>Hunger pangs!</li>
<li>Dizziness and fatigue</li>
<li>Low milk supply</li>
</ul>With the month of ramadhan upon us it is useful and important to look at ways of trying to maintain a healthy diet whilst fasting. Fasting for 12 hours or more can lead to dizziness and fatigue and a lowering of metabolic rate as a means of conserving calories or energy especially for breastfeeding mothers. Here are some simple guidelines and tips to make sure that your diet remains balanced and healthy during this fasting period:<br />
<ul><li>Do not skip sahur!</li>
<li>Focus on quality NOT quantity. Its all about taking the right food to get the required nutrients</li>
<li>Drink sufficient fluids. Avoid caffeine, soft drinks, tea. Caffeine will drain you off valuable minerals needed to sustain the fasting body during the day. It wil also make baby irritable and wakeful.</li>
<li>Breakfast provides the essential energy and nutrients needed for concentration, while keeping hunger symptoms like headaches, fatigues, drowsiness and restlessness at bay. In addition, it speeds our metabolic rates. It is therefore vital to ensure an adequate intake at breakfast time.</li>
<li>Fasting should not impact your milk supply. To cite an example, even during non-fasting days some mothers still experience low milk supply. But this may not be 100% related to food. More often than not, it has to do with demand.</li>
<li>Eat enough carbohydrate foods – especially those rich in fibre. These foods provide the body with energy. They are rich in B vitamins, and are excellent source of fibre. Hi-fibre foods also fills you up more than low-fibre counterparts. Foods high in fibre include brown rice, wholegrains, fresh fruits and raw veggies.</li>
<li>Remember your fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables add colour and variety to the menu. They are “protective” foods as they help the body fight off sickness and disease. They are also rich sources of a variety of vitamins, minerals, and fibre, and are low in calories.</li>
<li>Take supplement if need be</li>
</ul>We all know that maintaining a balanced diet by eating healthily has a vital influence on one’s well being. Try following the above principles so that this fast period does not sway too much from the principles of goo nutrition.<br />
<br />
<strong>Milk Supply</strong><br />
<ul><li>Maintain daily pumping session</li>
<li>Feed or pump more at night - pump at night before going to bed or while feeding your baby.</li>
<li>Pump in the morning before sahur (while your milk is in abundance). If baby is feeding from you then FEED and PUMP at the same time.</li>
<li>Best to drink fluids before a pumping session</li>
<li>Bring along a packet of dates in your handbag. You never know when you might get stuck in some silly traffic jam and end up breaking your fast in the car. Make sure you have a bottle of water too. Upon arriving home, make sure that you break your fast before attending to your baby (if possible).</li>
<li>Apply relaxation techniques as much as possible during a feeding or pumping session</li>
<li>Try to stock up more now in preparation for Ramadhan</li>
<li>Take milk boosters</li>
<li>And finally, pray and make doa that Allah will help you through… InsyaAllah you will prevail! Good luck and all the best!</li>
