Roadtax and Insurance Renewal using Bjak.my

hello readers,

today im going to share with yall the new thing that i just learned this year. so as usual for me, beginning of the year is the time where i hve to renew my car's road tax and insurance. if u know me, im totally too lazy to go out, and find the agents for these things.

so,

i googled it.

then, i found

bjak.my

i was quite skeptical at first. well, there are lots of cases out there regarding online thingy. then i asked Amir, my brother. he also suggested me to get it online cuz he also get his online. so then i try wandering around the website. to use the site was super easy. u can choose whether or not to compare a few insurance brands.

just key in ur ic no

then ur car's registration no

wait for 5mins, they will giv u link on Whatsapp where they giv u all the quotations. and u can adjust the insured sum according to ur needs. make payment, then.....wallahhhhweh! its doneeee!!! did i mention that they gave discounts??? yeahhhh! u get 10% discount!!!

once ure done, ull get email with above header. there are links to see ur cover note and also to track your road tax. mine was quite fast. i got the cover note one hour after that which i can print it myself. and as for my road tax, it takes a few days to courier it to me. i did it last week on Friday (24 January), and got it this morning (28 January). just in time before my road tax ends tomorrow..hahaks!

whoever invented bjak.my, ure brilliant! and thank you so much for invented this service!!!

so here goes my experience using bjak.my !!!

2.0.2.0 - Expectations

hi readers! it been long since my last posts. as yall know, im working full time now, and also a full time PhD student. can yall imagine the struggles there? for some who dont know, they think that working and studying is easy peasy. i often got this Q "alaaaaa, keje teaching je pun..bukan teruk sgt pun". yup, teaching. not that bad. mayb for you, but not for me.

unlucky for me is that, im fulltime lecturer, fulltime PhD student, and also a fulltime Mommy.

3-in-1

can u imagine? if u followed me, u know that my hsbnd got transferred to Penang. so now, it a year now. ure juggling here and there for ur kids. send her to school in the morning then picks her up latest by 6pm. u cant take any extra things just because u have kids to pick up. if ure late, u got penalized. so there goes my life. not that im complaining. but dont judge me.

it doesnt mean that im not writing if u dont see me writing. its not that i always sleep when u see me sleeping. not that i eat a lot when u see me eat. so please. STOP. i had enough of all those judgments. mayb ure a saint, that ure super perfect. u dont have to get thru what i went thru. life is hard, but im coping well with it. and not complaining. im just telling.

i believe many of you has set up ur new year resolutions.

goodluck with what ure planning for ya!

New Year, New Life

Hi darlings,

I wasnt feeling so good about things that has been bothering me these days. Well, to be honest, there are lot of things happening right now.

FIRST of all, my husband has been transferred to Penang. Seriously, I dont know what to expect. Like seriously, are we going to be staying apart like this for years to come? Its not that i cnt take care of myself and Ayra alone, but its good to know that i have someone supporting me.

And, i dont really know where to pour my heart out. So since i have a blog, so i think i better pour it here.

Then i think i dont really feel good about something which i cant say it here. It feels awful.

New year, new life? I heard that a lot from people these days. But for me, i want to be better person than i am today. I admit, there are a lot of things to learn. InsyaAllah, slowly..

In my case, i didnt loose my beloved Uwan. She is still there in my heart. Just that her soul is not in this world anymore, but always in my heart. I hope that she is in better place now. Rest, Uwan. I will never forget you!

Ujian..Just before Ramadhan for us..

Hi readers, Assalamualaikum..

Last week has been hectic for me as my husband got admitted to the hospital in Kajang.

Why Kajang? haaaa..kinda long story..

we were actually rushed to Hospital Pakar Annur in Bangi that early morning. But as sson as we enter the emergency, they told us they dont deal with this kind of case. So they suggested us to go to Hospital Serdang or KPJ Kajang (nearest hospital available).

So i took the decision to go to KPJ Kajang. Why? Because based on our experience with govt hospital, we have to wait for hours to be attended to, with lots more other people waiting to be attended too. So, we went to KPJ Kajang.

Accident happened around 3am, we got ready then straight to the hospital. We arrived at KPJ Kajang at 4am. They clean up the bruises, then we check in to ward around 530am. Unfortunately, there are no single room for him. So we took the double deluxe room, which means I cant sleepover with him in the ward. So we got to wait for the specialist to come and stitch him up because the cut were close to his left eye. Only specialist knows what to consider when stitching that cut. But before that, we went to got xrays of various parts of his body. Some blood were taken, and not to mention, some injection too..

Around 3pm, then only they called him to stitch his eyebrow.

After stitching, he went to do some tests; heart test, neuro test, fitness test, eye test. Those are to find out what cause the pass out.

Alhamdulillah, the results came out positive. Heart was fine, neuro fine, fitness fine, and eyes are fine.

Alhamdulillah..

 

To those who've been praying for us, thank you so much. I received lots of DM and messages to wish him well and speedy recovery. Thank you so much. May Allah bless u all with the all good things in life and life after..

He is now discharged (17 May).

Selamat menyambut bulan Ramadhan to all of you!

Marriage and Parenting

hello readers,

im sorry for not writing for quite sometimes now. been busy with lots of things. too many thing to handle.

so..marriage..and parenting..

for me, both are equally hard. no one tell us how hard it is to be married, to be parent. and honestly i think i am not really prepared for all this.

first, ure married. yup with all those lovey dovey moments. then, u'll be pregnant. now then things started to change. you changed. he changed. ambiance changed. 

and sometimes, you'll feel that his touch is different. the way he looked at you is different. because u have baby now, he feels like he need to work his ass off for more money. and because of that, he will have limited time with you, and your baby.

i dont know. mayb it's just me.. mayb its my postpartum depression. 

i dont know.

till then,

Ayra Medina's

Majlis Akikah

Alhamdulillah, kami da settle hal yg wajib utk Ayra Medina which is the akikah. We did it in Kelantan with our closest families member. And i did a lil birthday celebration for my lil princess.

Bad Mommy?

am i a bad mommy to my baby?

first, she was on fever..yup i have to deal with her cranky-ness

doc said cuz of her growing teeth

fever + flu = MADNESS

she dont feel good, she cries

she cant sleep, she cries

ive become a zombie for a few days -.-'

then she got nappy rashes. bought her to clinic. doc said its fine. but after 2days, gotten worst. went to the doc again. she said, wrong prescribed cream. now she's fine.

then,

colic! yup!

because of me! i ate soooo many things without thinking that im still breastfeeding her.

she cried for hours last night. and i got stressed out, and depressed. but im lucky that Ibu was here to help. Alhamdulillah, i got thru it.

Ibu dont really say that i was my fault because she doesnt want me to get more stressed out and depressed. but i know, it is my fault.

now, her bums got rashes. due to diarrhea!

yup, still. blame me!

i am the culprit! haiyaaaaa!

i am seriously a bad mommy! i dont think of her. i ate whatever i want then she is the one who suffers. i am sorry, Ayra. Mommy is a bad mother to you :(

i really really madly and deeply feel bad about this. she cries everytime i try to change her diaper. and i feel like crying too! Mommy soooo soorrrryyyyy Ayra! Mommy promise to watch for what i eat from now on.

Post Delivery for Me (from my own experience)

Hello readers,

ive been reading about post delivery lately. how people share their experience after the deliveries and all.. and they seems fine and okay with everything..and i assume that everything was all sweet-cotton-candy-liked experience..

well, i hope it all true.

because,

for me..urmmm..hahaks! not rainbow and butterflies kinda experience..

they said, once the baby is out, u wont feel any pain. hmmm for a couple of hours after delivery, yup i feel good..

then, the drug went off..hahaks! its time to face the reality! the first thing that hurts is ur vi-jay-jay! yup! the stitches! u cant walk properly, sit properly. the a few days ur boobs will start hurts. too much milk productions. then ur back hurts. then ur nipple cracked. if ure lucky u wont get this. in my case, i got it. both of my nipple cracked. it is super painful! u gotta deal with it each and every 'milking' time.

up til now,

my boobs sore sometimes..and since my baby got her teeth now, my nipple has been chewed by her. yeah, true story! sometimes my back hurts.

so for me, when people told me that once the baby is out everything is fine, its not true :(

or,

mayb its just me.

if ure all rainbow kind of feeling, good for you. and im happy for you!

but, whatever feels im feeling right now, im thankful that i got my baby with me.

till then, take care guys :)

with lots of love,

Lya

Hi Readers,

i have one question for you;

have u ever feel that ure being underpaid?

when ur friends were talking about their salaries, and suddenly u realises that they are well paid more than u do. they have the same qualifications as you do.

well, im feeling it right now. like seriously? why am i being paid ONLY that much? my salary got cut off whenever i took a day off. for emergency; Ayra got sick. when the salary is in, i checked, urgh! so frustrating and sad..yerp, im sad by looking at my bank account. 

whether or not i have husband or not, i still have to be paid suitably right? i think its time for me to talk to my boss about it. the costs of living are rapidly increasing day by day, but my salary are not.

yerp, pity me.

may Allah ease my journey in talking to my boss about it.

just a piece of my mind

2 Years & 2 Months

Yup! We made it to 2 years and 2 months being married! hahaks!

honestly, getting married is not as hard as being married. the person u know isnt the person u think u know once u got married. when ure living under the same roof, sleeping together, then u will see the true colours of ur partner.

then, the most tragic thing is that, u will hate almost half of ur partner's habits. LIKE SERIOUSLY! 

then, that is when u realise that u have to cope with the changes no matter what. learn to accept ur partner as he is. there are some things that u may change, and there are things that u cant change. so live with it. learn how to cope with it. and remember, u too have things/habits that ur partner dislike. but he learnt how to accaept it. and he close one eye to ur habits because he is madly in love with you.

so either way, learn how to accept each other just the way they are. change for the better. u two must be willing to change for the better. you want to live together for a long time right? hahahah! find ways to live together.

and keep loving each other.

#LyaMommyLife

Hello Dear Readers,

Baby Ayra will turn 8 months in a few more days, and guess what? I SURVIVED 8 MONTHS BEING MOTHER! And more important is that, BABY AYRA IS STILL ALIVE! hahahahha!

So far, what i discover is: MOTHER'S INSTINCT. 

theres one day that i feel weird that Ayra was super clingy with me, but no temperature. so i brought him to the nearest clinic. and guess what, she is developing fever. but thats sue to her growing tooth. can u believe that at the age of 7 months she already have 2 tooth?! hahahhahaha! some said it was early, and some said its normal. yeah, whateverrrr..

as early as 5months, Ayra's Paeds has been asking me to start introducing solid food to her. as starter, i made lots of puree; apples, carrots, avocados and pears. Alhamdulillah, she responded well to the food. and along the journey, i learn few things;

1. start with avocado. cuz it taste almost like milk. so the baby wont be surprise with the taste.
2. follow the 3days rule. some said 4 days, some said 3days. but my doc said 3days. so 3days it is for us. when shes ok with it, i started to mix 2 to 3 ingredients. such as cauliflower and broccoli.
3. get the proper utensils for the little ones. yup, i bought lots. hahahha! as starter, u may buy Ikea's. kids will love the colors. i learn that spoons calms my baby down when me and hubs are eating. so do consider bringing plastic spoons for ur lil one. but make sure u always aware while ur baby is playing with the spoon.



i think thats is the starter of my fooding journey with my baby.
will share more things soon :)

xoxo
