PhD Journey Part 1

PhD Journey Part 1

Yeah..I am thinking on spilling about my journey now..as I finally able to finish it this year.

Some people aiming something extraordinary in every stories they want to know. Many will aspect more after they read the stories. Because that is human nature..They expect something which usually better than reality.

My story is not really interesting, like winning Noble Prize or something. But journey of each person must content something valuable in the end, even though the outcome is not parallel to what he or she plan in the first place. Each journey of life content values which we can learn from it. Also, the journey of life bring colourful memories which make our life meaningful.The important thing is life remind us that we are nothing, just a weak human who just can plan. In the end, Our Creator is there with His other plan which is better for us. He is the one who help us going through the difficulties. Sometimes, we have to realize we cannot depend on human; your mom, dad, friend, teachers, they got weaknesses and limitations, just like we do.

PhD journey is not sweet as its goal, sometimes dreaming about getting the Doctorate can be really stressful although some says we have to imagine what we want to getting motivated. Ask every PhD holder about their story and you will find various problems and hardness told to you. Some may ask why people they knew can complete their PhD in short time while you taking longer than other. That shows the different journey for each candidates to gone through. Outsiders will always ask and wonder while we, insider the only want who know our condition and understand the logic behind our problem. That is why PhD candidates should be strong and very determine in what they do.

Rerajin+Save for future: Baby Food Recipe

Progress Abdul Rahman Alif Raizan

Alhamdulillah he is being healthy and active until now

Lagi sebulan lebih dah 1 year old..

Sekarang selalu mencari resipi makanan yang sihat untuk dia

He hardly refuses food since been introduced to solid food

and InsyaAllah has no egg or other alergics

   

Tapi aku mengaku kadang2 terpaksa beri instant food like cereal, rusk sebab xsempat buat puri2

(blamed my busyness to prepare thesis and Viva)

Ye..Working at home mom  pon tak sempat nak sediakan makanan..

Mungkin jadual perlu diperbaiki

 ----------------------------------------------

At 6 month: As usual buat puree untuk baby.

(What I tried: brown rice..sweet potato..potato..carrot..potato+sawi (pakchoy)..red apple..pumpkin..buah lai..potato+carrot..banana)

Blend masukkan dalam bekas kecil 2 oz and selalu masukkan 1oz je untuk sekali makan

My baby eat in small portion

So seminggu buat 2 kali aktiviti puri memuri

Kalau jalan jauh pon bawak frozen food letak dalam chiller bag

Sampai je destinasi terus letak dalam peti ais

Kalau tak sempat buat makanan..makanan option ialah baby rusk Heinz/ kurma

Makanan snek dia ialah Biskut Beras brand Take One / Ten Ten/ Apple Monkey

It was until 8 month than I started to introduce protein

Start dengan ikan bilis and than fish n chicken

At 8 month: Buat stok ikan bilis

Buang isi n tulang ikan bilis..Rendam ikut suka berapa lama (aku ikut mana yg sempat)..Sangai ikan bilis n blend

Letak dalam bubur

Selalunye.. breakfast: puri buah..lunch and dinner: bubur kisar (nasi+sayur+ikan bilis)

Kuantiti time ni ikut suka je. Pastu nampak mcm banyak terus simpan kt fridge

Selalunye sayur carrot yg digunakan..sawi kadang2.tapi Abdul Rahman makan je if bagi sawi

Time travel: terpaksa bagi Rusk Heinz+ kurma/rice cereal nestle (dpt free dr expo baby)

Biskut beras tu memng wajibla kalau travel

And standby stok ikan bilis and blended rice..

if ade nasi putih boleh lenyekkan  dngn ikan bilis

Kalau tak sempat buat makanan kat rumah (extra busy) terus kukus kentang n blend

At 9 month: Start buat stok ayam n ikan

Basuh ayam bahagian dada/ ikan bersih2 dan rebus bersama carrot, bawang putih, bawang, tomato, sedikit herb (aku ikut mana yg ada) n sedikit kentang. Kalau ada brokoi boleh campurkan..then blend lepas da puas hati tengok campuran bahan2 tu dalam periuk..Ada yg tunggu sampai lebih 6 jam..Bahan2 ni pandai2la bajet kuantitinye..aku selalu sukukan dr kuantiti makanan biasa..

lepas da sejuk simpan ikut kuantiti  baby makan dan bekukan

Kalau masak bubur bolehla campurkan 

Waktu ni dah start bagi baby makan roti.

Ada orang xbagi lagi tp aku langgar peraturan sikit. Abdulrahman suka makan roti. 

Roti canai pun aku bagi..tapi sikit2 la

Menu breakfast is puri buah/meshed potato/roti wholemeal..lunch n dinner makan bubur

Time ni dah x blend beras da..masak bubur macam biasa n campurlah ape yg ada

Just ikut peraturan xletak garam n gula

At 10 month: Dah start tumis tumis n goreng2 untuk baby..Frozen food buat untuk puree kurma n meshed chicken je

Selalu menu breakfast is jemput kurang minyak xde gula..lunch n dinner is bubur or nasi goreng

Kadang2 buatkan mihun goreng or nasi cheese

Pasta pon boleh tapi belum try

Standby juga serbuk ikan bilis (buat sendiri) n ayam dada da simpan dalam bekas kecil siap2 untuk setiap hari

Kalau tak sempat: Bagi rusk Heinz+ Organic Instant brown rice (Bellamy)+kurma

And kentang/ keledek kukus

(time ni busy dah untuk viva n thesis correction)

So thats it..Sebenarnye boleh sediakan mcm2 menu yg sihat untuk baby..sama resipi mcm org dewasa just no sugar n salt

So gantikan sugar dengan puri kurma..n gantikan garam dengan ikan bilis (ikan bilis ni kadang2 hiris halus je if xsempat blend)..gantikan minyak dengan unsalted butter/olive oil (aku guna juga minyak biasa if tiada bahan ganti)..butter pon aku guna marjerin je buat masa ni

Kuantiti bahan tumisan kena pandai sendiri hehe..aku selalu guna 1.5 sudu beras..1/8 bawang merah n half bawang putih..carrot pon 2 slices je..

Bahan2 hiris halus2

Antara menu yang pernah dibuat untuk AbdulRahman baru2 ni: (akan diupdate)

Tumis bawang dengan butter. +ikan bilis 4ekor..+2 sawi/kacang panjang hiris halus+ masukkan nasi  lembik n telur
