Be gentle, for gentleness has never been used in anything without beautifying it

bismIllah...

Aku agak stress sekarang ni. I become more hot tempered lately. Sian Razin kena marah. Camne nak buat ya?

Aku stress... aku tak suka nak marah-marah dia. Ape la yang dia tau kan...

Sedih...

Rasa nak nangis bila ingat balik... ok, dah nangis dah pun.

I'm a bad mom.

T_____T

Maafkan Mak, yer Razin.


I didn't mean to shout. I just can't control my temper when you're tearing up all my stuff. 'Tidying up' my stocks and making a mess of my inventory...

*Sigh*

I know you're just being you. You're a child who is exploring new things... learning new things...

I know you love me so much that you can't bear to see me ignoring you when I'm working.

But Mommy needs to work too, sayang...


Ahhhh... stress... stress...

I can't wait to stay in my own house. Sleep in my own bed, cook in my own kitchen and working in my 'to-be-fully-renovated' office inside my own house.

Tapi lambat lagi... tahun depan la kot baru balik Lumut semula.

Hujung bulan akan balik ke Johor semula. Dan akan bermula kembali la ke'tension'an aku taking care of my son alone. huahuahua...

Kat Johor tu lagi laaaaaaa banyak cabarannya cos just ME and Razin when hubby went to work.

Takpela...

Nak wat camne kan...

Nak tak nak kena pandai-pandai la manage.

Bukan aku tak nak jaga anak sendiri, eh of cos la aku nak jaga anak aku sendiri... tapi bila memikirkan kerja-kerja yang akan tertangguh and sometimes aku LUPA buatkan aku stress.

I think I am a perfectionist. I think I am also a control freak.

I am someone who hates to keep my customers waiting. Sebab aku sendiri tak suka menunggu.

I want to take care of my baby, but at the same time I do am committed to my current job.

Tapi susah... memang susah.

Bear with me, Razin.


Ya Allah... help me to be a better mother. Amin.

alhamdulIllah...

The Avengers

bismIllah...

Yeay... berjaya menonton The Avengers semalam.

Memang best giler ah citer dia. No wonder la ramai orang tweet cite tu best. Memang enjoyable sangat!


Filem aksi tapi banyak jugak scene kelakar dalam tu... Paling takleh blah masa Dr Banner datang dengan naik motor terhegeh-hegeh kat tempat Avengers ni berkumpul untuk fikir strategi layan The Chitauris.

Last2 banyak part kelakar pulak... hihi...

Ape pun release stress tengok movie camtu. I Like!

Eh, antara Thor and Captain America tu sape?

Aku cari yang ade gambo Barton xjumpa...

alhamdulIllah...

High back carry in Ergo

bismIllah...

*Ergo di sini refers to Ergobaby carrier la yer. Malas nak taip panjang-panjang.

Ergo memang dikenali dengan carrier yang mempunyai body panel yang pendek.

Body panel tu ape? you might ask. Well... ianya fabric yang cover body baby kita.

Tengok gambar bawah ni:

Siap berlabel lagi tu. Ahaks.

So memang leh nampak la kan body panel Ergo ni pendek je.

***Body panel pada Ergo Performance is longer than standard Ergo.

Kekurangan body panel yang pendek adalah; ianya KURANG SESUAI dipakai oleh budak yang dah besar (toddler).

Sebab? Well, agak bahaya kalau baby tu suke menyandar ke belakang... kang meliang-liuk takut jatuh lak.

Tapi macam Razin ok je... so depends pada baby jugak la.

Razin suke hands out (keluarkan tangan) so Ergo memang perfect for him.

Kelebihan body panel panel pulak ialah ianya sesuai for handout babies and tak panas.

Tak panas tu logik la sebab body panel tu tak cover baby's full torso.

So berangin jela... hehe...

Front carry in Ergo.

Nak tunjuk yang shoulder strap for Ergo is very long.

Sila ketatkan bahagian ber'anak panah' dalam pic kalau nak high back carry.

Err... aku memang tak ketatkan shoulder strap kalau front carry sebab nak bagi 'allowance' pada bahagian dada. HAHA.

Kang ketat-ketat senak dadaku. LOL

See??

Dah pendek dah tali strap pada shoulder strap kan?

Cos I tightened it for high back carry.

This is the max I can go cos kalau ketat-ketat sangat there will be strain on my shoulders.

And for the waist strap, sila pakaikan tinggi sikit dari biase.

But make sure still selesa la yer...

Aku kekadang kalau back carry guna Ergo memang aku positioned the waist strap around my waist (eh dah nama pun waist kan??). Tak... patutnya letak kat your hip instead of waist for better weight distribution and so that takde la sakit pinggang ke hape...

Tapi aku pakai camtu takde la sakit pinggang pun. So depends pada orang jugak. ;)

So tu je nak citer...

Kalau budak dah besar still relevant pakai Ergo. Pandai-pandai la adjust macam aku buat tu ikut keselesaan sendiri.

Kalau tak ok jugak, kena beli preschool/toddler punyer carrier la. Memang confirm-confirm sesuai untuk budak besar. hehe...

But as for me, Ergo is a good carrier.

It's for keeps!

Plus, I just loved their lovely prints (Petunia Pickle Bottom series). 

=)

 I hope my son would still love to be carried at least until he's 3 years old.

And I do hope I'll have more offsprings so that I wouldn't have to sell the lovely carriers I have. 

hihi...

p/s: Hubby is coming home in around 2 weeks more. Counting days to meet my other half...

alhamdulIllah...

Ergobaby carrier: New Generation

bismIllah...

I just got my new Ergobaby carrier last week like I wrote in this ENTRY.

Like I wrote earlier, there were some new changes on the buckles of Ergo carriers. Not just the Petunia series, but also to other Ergo carriers as well. I know cos I took a peek on my customer's Ergo. hihi...  Ferry tak marah kan? =p

Anyway, here's the pictures of my AUTHENTIC Ergobaby carriers:

 

1st thing first, the box.

There should be stickers on the serial numbers or from which company/distributor you bought it from.

MESTI ADA kalau nak tau ori ke tak.

No box? Then the Ergo you bought could be a counterfeit ones ;)

Next, let's take a look at the buckles!

There sure is some new changes! This was what surprised me at first. I'm used to blogs/websites telling people how to spot fake Ergos and since this is a new thing, I thought I share it here. Plus, even counterfeits Ergos also has imprints! 

But then the previous version has been around for some time so it's not a surprise if you found counterfeit Ergo that is very very similar to the authentic ones.

Waist buckle.

NEW IMPRINT on the female buckle!

Lagi cun oke...

The waist buckle.

The female buckle was turned on the other side.

Just a small etching at the corner. Tak tau simbol ape...

 This is the male buckle. Different than the previous version.

And there's no STEALTH wording in the middle strip.

FYI, the previous version's buckle is like the picture below:

 However, even the counterfeits have this same buckle design!

I guess maybe that's why Ergo made new buckles.. ;)

Same logo on the shoulder buckles.

:)

Next, take a look at the zipper pull.

Since my Petunia doesn't have any zip on it, so here's the picture of my Ergo Original zipper pull:

There should be logo on the zip.

And also take a look at the Ergobaby label there.

However, I've encountered knock offs Ergo that has the same logo and zipper pull.

So it's really hard to distinguish as well.

:(

 Sleeping hood.

Has elastics at the sides.

And there were 5 snap buttons at the hood straps.

 

 

 The serial numbers is the dead giveaway.

The serial number from your registraion card must MATCH the one at your box.

It also must MATCH the serial number from the label sewn inside your Ergo.

 

 

Label from Ergobaby carrier Original - Mystic Purple.

I bought this last Feb from US.

 

Label from Ergobaby carriers Petunia Pickle Bottom - Frolicking in Fez

Bought this from my supplier since I decided to sell Ergo in my online store.

 What are these?

These are the labels from the inside of your Ergo carrier's pocket (to stuff the sleeping hood).

There should be serial number (BC ****), when it was manufactured i.e EBC2011103143 means the carrier was manufactured on 30th Oct 2011 and where it was made from (China for Original and Sport, India for Organic and Performance as stated in Ergo website)

Most FAKE Ergos doesn't have a serial number. 

And if some did have serial numbers, the numbers wouldn't match the card and the box that came with the purchase.

 

 The safety label on genuine Ergo.

Not as important as I have seen FAKE Ergos having the same label positioned at the inside of waist strap.

Boleh plak benda alah tu Made in China, tapi tulis kat label 'Made in India'??

Teruk betul!!

Kesimpulannya, buy your Ergo from the authorized sellers.

Mama Panda Store sells genuine Boba and Ergobaby carriers.

For Ergo, our supplier is the same as Tiny Tapir okeh.

Kalau tak caya meh beli... hihihi... (sistem kutu pun ada tau!)

Iklan sikit, jangan marah haaa.... ;)

Happy babywearing!

 Till then, wassalam.

alhamdulIllah...

Tulisan dari hati

bismIllah...

Rindu itu sesuatu yang meresahkan...
Mengasyikkan kah?
Tak tau... tapi sesuatu yang bagus jugak. Apelah ade pada hati kalau tiada rasa rindu? Rindu tanda cinta. Rindu tanda sayang.

Dah 2 minggu terpisah. Tak sabar nak bersatu semula.

Lagi beberapa minggu...

I'm glad I'm surrounded by family now. So, sedikit sebanyak rasa rindu tu takdela dilayan sangat.

Lagi pulak ada si comel Razin! Makin banyak akalnya...

Dah pandai cari kasut bila nampak Mak dan mak-mak saudaranya siap-siap. Terus cari kasut and baling kat kita untuk pakaikan! Tak menahan... Dah pandai bahasa nak ikut orang berjalan. :)

Dah pandai protes bila ditegur. Mulala dia nak growl... garang betul! Last week masa checkup pun nurse terkejut dengar Razin growl (dalam BM aku tak tau nak explain... Sebabnya? Razin tiru bunyi yang dibuat kalau kita larang dia... "Hepppp" + a lil bit of growling.=p

Pengajaran? Jaga percakapan dan jangan cakap yang bukan-bukan nanti dia tiru huhu...

We miss my other half.

Kalau Razin nampak aku cakap dalam phone je mesti dia akan terkedek-kedek datang menyibuk. Ingat cakap dengan Ayah dia. Tapi kekadang cakap ngan supplier or customer huhu...

Hari ni aku buat sales offline. Hantar barang kat customer di Ayer Tawar dan Manjung. Macam kelakar pun ada... udah macam mak cik-mak cik jual barang tepi jalan. ekekeke... pengalaman betul. Tapi best!

Pegang duit cash dalam tangan lagi best dari duit masuk bank secara online ku rasa.

Haih... kalau ada rezeki, insya Allah nak jugak ada kedai sendiri *wah veranganss!*

Takpela... berangan tak kena duit.

Till then, assalamualaikum...

Quick one!

bismIllah...

Waaaa... so tired today. Pergi Sitiawan untuk Razin's 12 months jab walaupun dah lewat sebulan... Aku bagi alasan takde transport. Padahal kitorang kat Johor kan time Razin turned 1. Kat Johor mana reti nak ke mana-mana pun (and malas). So balik Perak baru cucuk. huhu...

Lepas settle hal kat klinik, pergi isi perut kat Restoran Mee Rebus Pak Bakar. Melantak nasi ayam... lagipun nak pass barang kat anak tuan kedai yang beli Zoobies and VCO (oh, I sell VCO Catalyst too). Sambil-sambil tu bagi my customer's husband tried Ergobaby carrier yang diorang nak beli...

My Ergobaby and Trunki shipment arrived yesterday. I was all excited on my new Ergobaby carrier.

It's from Petunia Pickle Bottom series in the latest design Frolicking in Fez! Ikat perut okeh nak beli benda alah ni... huahua...

 

It's one heck of a gorgeous print!

Love it.

(I think I'm among the first person who has this in Malaysia... it just came out! =P )

Yang lelain tu barang Trunki...

Jenuh le nak kena cari kotak lak untuk pos. huhu...

 

Know what?

The new buckles on the Ergo is totally different from before.

All the female buckles on the carrier have huge Ergobaby logo on it.

And the male buckle is also different!

Good. Now it'll be easier to spot fake Ergo.

Will share the photos soon!

 

Iklan: Berminat nak beli Ergo dan Boba tapi tight budget and belum ada baby lagi (but expecting?). Do join my group in FB more info.

alhamdulIllah...

Razin's second stroller

bismIllah...

Entry sebelum ni aku ade mention that I'm going to buy second stroller for Razin, right? Leh refer SINI. Dah lama beli tapi lupa nak update kat blog. hehehe...


So here it is,

 

Razin's second stroller: 

Quicksmart Easy Fold Stroller

 

This is how it looks like when folded.

Pro: 

- Senang nak buka

- Compact! (my most important factor)

Cons:

- Nak fold still kena guna 2 tangan, amik masa gak la kalau mula-mula pakai

- Takdela ringan sangat... tapi ok la...

 Sebenarnya aku jatuh cinta dengan stroller ni lepas tengok video di bawah masa usya-usya Youtube. hehe

 

Cool eh?

..

Oh well...

Razin sekarang tengah seronok nak berjalan. Tak pandang sangat stroller...

Tapi nasib baik la he still tak marah-marah kalau kena strapped dalam stroller.

=)

p/s: I have another dream stroller that I wish to purchase...

Tapi sebab tak preggy2 lagi rasa bersalah plak nak beli stroller lagi... huaaaaaa....

alhamdulIllah...
