Sarah's Day Out

So yesterday is our first 'real' outing as a family. Lots of baby stuff need to bring i.e stroller, baby carrier, diapers, wet tissues, spare cloth, pacifier and yadayadayada.. I was so excited, get dolled up eagerly until suddenly PIL came and ask us to go to a kenduri at 2pm. I was a bit bengang because why they did not inform us earlier? I wasn't refuse to go, because i know that they came during Sarah's kenduri and all but what made me so angry was we had planned for this outing for a week, so there goes my plan lah kan. FYI, I am a planner and I hate last minute event or whatsoever sebab if i do a last minute job or change a plan in a last minute, i'll get my nerves! and i hate it because i will sweat like a fish, I have a hyperhydrosis afterall.. The other half told his mum about our plan but she just said that we can go after the function, "tak payah pakai baju kurung pun takpe". Huh! another disaster. I already dressed and my outfit was SO inappropiate for a kenduri. Damn, tak kan nak tukar baju kurung and later go shopping by wearing baju kurung also? I had to find another baju sambil berpeluh-peluh, then had to iron the baju and different tudung..Benci! Nasib baik other half helped to prepare Sarah's stuff and load in the car. At 2.30pm, we head off to the kenduri. Nasib baik the food was nice.

An hour later, we left the place and we went to Ikano and The Curve since it's the nearest and they are having massive sales in there.. Susah betul nak cari parking. All reserve parkings for family with baby was full and manusia tersangat lah ramai. Sarah really enjoy her ride. She look comfortable and didn't cry at all. Other half and Sarah waited for me outside the shop while I was busy with my shopping activity. It was funny when I saw many daddies, with baby in a stroller, sat on a bench and are waiting for their wives.

I was planned to buy some stuff for Sarah like new pacifier, bedsheet and some books. You might think that it is too early for me to introduce her with a book. But for me, NO. Because why, Sarah likes to sit on our lap like at the moment, she sit on my lap while i type this entry, and sometimes, she just sat and not doing anything. Her eyes just wander around and look at the ceiling. I wonder what makes the ceiling look so attractive to her. So, we decided to buy her a few books so that she can see colors, graphics and learn at the same time. I bought 6 books for her. A bedtime nursery rhymes (you press the button for the rhythm and sing along for your baby. Good rhythm for bedtime), and ABC book and a combo of 4 books. Everything is so colorful.

The books we bought for her. Cutey..

A pair of baby suit, pacifier and a thermal blanket for Sarah.

I noticed that the ambience was cold so Sarah will feel colder. Other half wanted to buy her a blanket but all blankets available are the same as what we already had at home. I don't want to buy the same thing for her. Then, I found a thermal blanket in Little Haven @ The Curve. I so like this shop. They sell cute stuff, i feel like buying everything. The thermal blanket was an instant buy but it was worth it because Sarah fell asleep after we put the blanket on her. Walaupun tak basuh lagi sebab kesian sejuk sangat..

We didn't stop for an eating because we wanted to go home earlier. Spending time outside the home is the last thing we'll do after realizing that things are not as easy as last time. The rule now is to have lunch and dinner at home before and after the outing. Hey, that saves us 1 hour and RM 50. We head back home at 7.30 pm. It was very tiring but well worth it though! Sarah was the most tired one. Balik rumah, terus mandi kan, feed her and tido.

Mama, cepat sikit! Sarah dah kesejukan ni..

So, what do i get for myself? Just a simple four tops and a brown khaki. For other half, only a 'MotorTrader' magazine to feed his eyes. You know, guys didn't shop as much as us, women. Thanks to other half for brought us out and many thanks for being very patience, taking care of Sarah alone while I was busy browsing for the clothes. Let's do this more often ya?

One happy family @ The Curve
