PINKYLEONA

Since I have been using this diaper bag for quite a while, thought I'd share what's in my diaper bag -the Jujube B.F.F

The minimal prints is chosen because its the safest choice -especially if I'm going to wear top/clothes with prints (especially work attire/kurungs/batik)

Note : I pointed out the Jujube latest print (sakura swirl) at the Mothercare MY this one time, and he hated it (me too!)

To be honest, I don't find this B.F.F be bulky/heavy. With whatever I am carrying (which is minimal), this bag is very comfortable to the shoulder (thumbs up to its super comfortable shoulder pad, please try it in-store!)

Feels lightweight just like carrying Longchamp lePliage, but this one with shoulder pad hehe

So for everyday use, the Jujube B.F.F looks like this (with soooo much space left!) :

The B.F.F has :

A. Back sleeve (for its changing mat)

B. Side insulated pocket (which I sometimes carrying expressed BM for Seff's next feed)

C. Interior compartment (of 6 different pockets which will be shown later on)

D. Mommy pocket

E. Zippered pocket for smart phone

The interior has 6 different pockets which made organizing baby items so much easier -which made life easier. The pockets are shown/labelled below :

1. Back zippered pocket : Documents (copy IC), valuables (rings etc)

2. Back pocket : 10 diapers (5 pcs per pocket, I use Bambo Nature eco-friendly diapers)

3. Side pocket : Aden & Anais bamboo swaddle

4. Side pocket : Tissue, Thermometer & Minyak yu yee are to me the most important!

5. Main compartment : Travel wipes (snapkis, at the moment), Rattle/toys & My snack cup (mostly kurma in it)

6. Front zippered pocket : change of clothes

For the mommy pocket I bring along with me :

1. Hair brush (Tangle Teezer)
2. Ball Pen
3. Mirror & Watch
4. Internet Huddle
5. Coin Pouch (Jujube)
6. Lucas Papaw ointment
7. Nipple cream (Medela)
8. Lipstick (le Marc Lip Creme)
9. Hand sanitizer (Euky Bear)
10. Perfume (Nina Ricci)

Think I missed out anything?

1. BOON Groovy Modware Set

While Seff will start on solid soon, this feeding set is to me really cute

2. ERGOBABY OMNI 360° Carrier

We agreed to purchase this last year, to also wait for Seff's arrival before splurging on pricey baby gadgets. Lesson learnt the hard way with Elana, where we purchased so many items and not using any. But we glad Seff got to use them now (i.e. Doona stroller, sterilizer, warmer etc)

3. BEABA Babycook (Cherry)

Loving this colour to match with appliances we have at home. But we don't mind the brand though. Any steamer+blender combined that served the same purpose is what I really want..

4. IKEA ANTILOP Highchair

We know we need this too and it is really cheap, yeah, definitely gonna buy this soon (along with other plastic cups/plates/bowls etc from IKEA MY hehe)

5. SKIP HOP Explore & More Jumpscape Foldaway Jumper

Husband has approved all the above, and I recently show him this (a video of this, from Skip Hop official channel), and he nodded. He just nodded. I don't know if he was really serious but I guess it's a yes for now. I love that this can keep Seff busy and it is compact/easy to fold for storage and travel with

Ooh hell yes I'm mad when someone mistaken our dearest Chicken Rendang over fried chicken (we all believe so-lah). What crispy skin?? *facepalm*

For those who didn't know this issue, here is the news:

ABOUT THE RENDANG

Rendang, be it chicken or beef, is our local, classic dish served often with nasi lemak or ketupat/lemang during festive.

Everyone can google how Rendang is made, and here our talented, well known Chef Wan has some important notes:



During my study years, I remember eating nasi goreng + rendang for breakfast almost everyday! We are that FAMILIAR WITH RENDANG, you know..

Although I am no professional cook, I can definitely cook Rendang. I bet most malaysians can

THE JOKE

Knowing that Gregg Wallace and John Torode and the entire crew from the Masterchef UK show didn't know, cross-check/refer before editing the show is well, TO ME UNACCEPTABLE

THE NEED TO BE GOOD AT WHAT WE ARE DOING

We all play a part in this world; I keep telling myself I shall be good in my job/what I'm doing; so as an Engineer, I know my calculations

I still go to library to find books -especially those related to my job description as an engineer/designer. I even borrow books written in Japanese! That explains my language profiency : Bahasa Melayu, English, Nihongo & Deutsch!

THEN, THE ONE WHO WANTS TO BE AN A**HOLE

But John Torode to me just became an a**hole while replying someone on twitter like this:

Like what, cannot lower ego a bit and apologize? Now want to open history books? 

While not doing so (apologize), the entire MasterChef UK and their so-called "judges/experts" reputation totally ruined. This show is a total joke to me

Even as an expert, YOU KEEP LEARNING AND GROWING, GUYS. Remember that

Rant over, thank you for reading my thoughts

#SoliditariRendang

Keep calm 1988 babies, you're turning 30 this year!

As for myself, I always picturing myself having gorgeous trip too this year, haha, but no, when Seff is in the picture, there are boundaries I myself set

For example, we didn't hit the Shopping Malls until Seff is 3 months old. And probably won't travel with Seff until he is at least 1 year old (or 11 months, I don't know..)

Although we went to the mall now, we went to places that is less crowded 

(So sayang this baby of mine. Meaning, I'm soooo scared taking him out, exposing him to the not-so-clean outside world)

.. although he wasn't a NICU graduate

So we went to a hotel (don't get me start with the criteria -no carpet, must be new not dated, etc), all to make sure Seff stays healthy

Unboxing surprise box

Husband got me a surprise box -a box filled with large and small balloons, with messages inside box and on the large balloon

The surprise box

Inside that box too, houses my birthday present : Jujube B.F.F !

Thanks le husband, you know me well. I love my stylish diaper bag!

Will reveal what did I pack inside my Jujube B.F.F. real soon..

I love a hotel stay like this, where we just spent time indoor because yes, there is so much things to be done with baby, like bathing, playing etc. Husband is soo good at keeping me full by purchasing food from outside (he walks, guys!)

He tapau-ed me Ee Ji Ban Chicken Rice Ball (Halal) because its so close to the Hotel (walking distance only!)

Here just enjoy my photos (like what I shared on Instagram too) :

The hotel : The Straits Hotel & Suites Malacca

30 years passed, 30 more years to work! LOL

Till next post!
