*blow the dusty*
It's been 3 months I left my writing habit behind, well it won't be long like before. I need the momentum and the mood back.
Well, I hope it wasn't too late to wish all Muslim across the globe Eid Mubarak!! And thoughts and prayers to our Muslim brothers and sisters in Egypt, InsyaAllah, Allah is the greater planner and what's been happening now and then, here, there and everywhere is what the best for us, Wallahu 'alam.
Hurm, a lot to write but too little time for it. So I chose the latest event that just happened last weekend. It wasn't a surprise like what happen in 2012 if you were been active in Facebook, seen my wall status or joined few groups. Oh ya, u've read it as well on the Post Title.
On 24th August 2013 in Grand Season Hotel, a history written and about 450 moms-and-babies had break the Malaysia Book of Record of Largest Number Mothers Breastfeeding Simultaneously.
It wasn't a simple event, it's really HUGE, considering the organizers
have only 10 days to gather all the participants. Such a great team work
done by the admins of The Breastfeeding Advocates Network for organizing The Gift of Love Charity Bazaar so successful and memorable.
The event initially started at 9.30 am but we arrived around 10.30am to avoid hassle in 'car-park space hunt' as the hotel had a limited spaces for carpark. The idea was to park the car in the hotel parking area, register and off shopping in SOGO. But, as we arrived the venue, we stucked there till evening. It's a great well-organized event. As we arrived, the crowd wasn't heavy so it's a smooth registration for us. We stroll along the booths available there. It's a lot of baby's stuff sold there, not forgetting for mamas, biscuits, photography session and whatnot. It's really happening. Upon arrival, Sany Woo is demonstrating soap-making. She's an expert, not to mention it! We took a seat and listen to her before Syakir wanted to be freely go around the hall. So, not long after that he demanded for his quick sip. So, it's my 'uppy' time, hurray! mak royan nak kendong anak tau..
It's about noon when the emcee announced the special appearance of superheroes, Ironman and Spiderman (but neither Toby McGuire nor Robert Downey Jr. were available) which elated my babies (yeah, read it as both of my heroes) tremendously. And there were Hello Kitty as well.
But Syakir showed more passionate towards Spiderman, siap salam cium tangan kau..sopan anak mak! And he can't stop but to say hello and chat with Spiderman.
Oh, and eventually my husband agreed to join a contest "Fastest Diaper Change By Daddies" and he won the 2nd place, hurrah!! Among 6 contestant, hubby and my son is the only couple using cloth-diaper-with-4-button-to-snap against just-a-snap-away-disposable-diaper but he managed to beat the other 4 contestant..proud of u, Darl!! And the price wasn't that bad, 3 pieces of Grovia AIO which costing RM180. so balik modal la bayar fee, hehehe..
And there also babywearing talk by Adriana Thani and Norashida from Malaysian Babywearers. Such a great talk (yeah, i do enjoyed every talk on Babywearing and my hubby thought I am kinda weird) and the people get even crowded as the talk going.

As the clock ticking to 1630H, we we're all gathered in the ballroom for the climax of the event today, Largest Mothers Simultaneously Breastfeeding. It's massive, it's huge but the event went really well. Not forgetting, the presence of YB Hannah Yeoh and Puan Rokiah Dom, Director of Nutrition, Ministry of Health. And Alhamdulillah, the event were recognized and declared by Malaysia Book of Record as new record and the history changed successfully. We are now improved in terms of the awareness of breastfeeding the baby, the best milk ever in the world and women especially mothers were designed specifically by Allah to do so, InsyaAllah. Just full ourselves with knowledge and information, thus we won't anymore regretly said 'I birthed my baby but can't milk him/her coz i can't produce any' or 'My boobs are too small too have milk' etc..
