Christian Bale is to play rebel leader John Connor in three sequels to the Terminator franchise, its producers have revealed.

The Welsh-born star, who is soon to be seen in Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight, has already started shooting the first of those films, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.


"He's really an actor's actor, so we're very proud," said Victor Kubicek of film company Halcyon.

Charlie's Angels director McG is directing the new film, which is due to be released on 22 May 2009.

"Christian was our first choice and he's a big fan of The Terminator, so we're very lucky," Kubicek told the BBC at the Cannes Film Festival.

McG? Ah well, at least it’s not Uwe Boll.

“Breast milk is a living thing, with active blood cells. You have to treat it gently or you can destroy the delicate cell bodies. It’s still good food without the living cells, but you lose a lot of the protective properties of breast milk.” *

Thursday Thirteen # 21

13 Panduan Penyusuan Bayi dengan Susu Ibu versi MamaNabil (sebab Nabil yang masih jadi boob-monster).

NB: Ini cuma personal notes daripada segala maklumat yang aku kumpul dan amalkan tak kira dari kengkawan atau dari website2 berkaitan. Untuk maklumat lebih lanjut, sila rujuk kepada pakar laktasi atau doktor2 yang berdekatan. Terima kasih. :)

Gambar dari shorpy dot com

1. Kalau korang tengah pregnant, dan bercadang untuk breastfeed anak bila dah lahir nanti, lebih baik buat perancangan SEKARANG, jangan bila dah masuk ke labour room atau dah bersalin baru tergagau-gagau cari pam/ cara2 menyusu and such. You won’t have the time and the energy! Aku bercakap melalui pengalaman.

2. Pilihlah hospital yang menyediakan nursery dan ada pakar penyusuan. Aku bersalin di Pusrawi KL, dan honestly, bilik untuk menyusunya memang selesa (siap ada Astro lagi kau!). Dapatkan nasihat dan cara2 penyusuan yang betul sepanjang kau di hospital (heh, percutian tiga hari dua malam!). Kalau di Pusrawi, nurse akan terus letak baby di breast sejam lepas lahir untuk stimulate pengeluaran colostrum.

3. Invest in a good pump, sebab walau mahal macam mana pun, faedah yang diperolehi dengan susu ibu mengatasi segala khasiat dalam susu formula. Ala, lagipun dengan semua benda dah naik harga, kos beli pam tu dah boleh cover sebulan dua supply susu formula yang kursemangat mahalnya sekarang nih. Aku guna Avent Isis manual pump (lebih kurang RM220), memang disyorkan untuk ibu2 yang nak menyusu lebih lama.

4. Aku kurang suka pam yang pakai bateri atau elektrik, sebab, satu, kau kena selalu replace bateri, kedua, kena cari tempat yang ada power point. Tak berapa convenient.

5. Dapatkan kawan atau teman yang boleh memberi perangsang, tips dan nasihat tentang penyusuan bayi, tak kira la in real life atau dalam talian (ewah, aku nampak orang DBP senyum!). Tak tau la kenapa tapi kalau merujuk kepada ibu2 atau MILs rasanya korang MUNGKIN takkan dapat sokongan yang diharapkan, like yours truly la. Aku tak salahkan diorang, mungkin diorang taknak susahkan kita, terutama yang terpaksa kembali bekerja bila dah habis cuti bersalin nanti.

6. Kalau rasa macam kurang aje susu tu, kemungkinan besar itu cuma perasaan kita aje. Sebab badan kita Insya Allah memang dapat memenuhi keperluan bayi dari segi khasiat. Kalau nak tambah susu juga, especially yang ada dua orang anak menyusu, ambik le milk booster yang boleh melancarkan pengeluaran susu. Aku personally recommend the organic Earth Mama Angel Baby ni (RM9 untuk Trial Pack, boleh beli di Mom’s Little Ones ~ www.momslittleones.com). Alhamdulillah, coupled with regular pumping (at work) and feeding, sekarang aku dapat pam around 8 oz untuk dua sesi (dulu masa guna pam lama, nak dapat 2 oz sekali pam pun susah).

7. Lain-lain makanan yang boleh menambah/ melancarkan pengeluaran susu – barli, soya bean, halba, jintan dan lobak putih. Aaand, jangan la selalu sangat blame semua benda pada susu ibu, macam aku hari tu. Nabil kembung – pasal susu badan. Tahi dia hijau – pasal susu badan. Apa hal!? Baby kembung perut tu perkara biasa, just don’t eat anything gassy or cold masa dalam pantang tu, sebab tu la orang lepas bersalin macam2 tak boleh makan. Bila dah alami semua ni, baru aku tau logiknya amalan orang2 tua. Jenuh telinga aku dengar ‘I told you so’s dari mak aku dan juga babysitter Nabil masa aku demam kuat dua hari lepas masuk kerja lepas bersalin hari tu. Tahi dia hijau & melekit? Itu mungkin ketidakseimbangan foremilk dan hindmilk~ ada cara mengatasi masalah ni, jangan bimbang!

8. Relaks, jangan stress, sebab baby boleh detect kalau kita stress. Ingat perkara yang baik2, masa menyusu tu, belai muka dia, telinga dia, sambil bersyukur kepada Allah s.w.t sebab kurniakan kita anak yang sempurna sifatnya. Dan walaupun dia masih belum faham cakap kita, bagitau dia, Mama doakan Nabil jadi insan yang berjaya, di dunia dan akhirat. Taat kepada Allah, Rasul & ibu bapa etc. Ingat, doa ibu sentiasa makbul.

9. Talking about stress, ini bukan masanya untuk jadi perfectionist. Biarkan la kalau rumah bersepah, pinggan tak basuh atau kain baju belum berlipat. Get all the help you can get so that you can spend those precious quality time with the little one. Minta tolong suami untuk layan anak2 yang dah besar atau kerja2 rumah yang senang2. Kalau perlu, ambik temporary/ weekend maid untuk datang lets say, seminggu sekali untuk membantu dalam kerja2 rumah, yang ahem, obviously la, takkan habis sampai bila2 pun.

10. Jaga makan, tapi jangan terlebih makan! Terutama sekali kalau kau nak ambik apa2 medication ~ always consult your doctor and do mention that you’re breastfeeding.

11. Ingat rule demand dan supply. Bagi bayi boobie regularly kalau tak nak supply berkurangan. Dan jangan bimbang tentang saiz, sebab kalau yang comel lote pun (ala2 nasi lemak seringgit tak letak lauk) boleh menyusukan anak2 sampai besar (at least for the first 6 months, tapi kalau boleh, biarlah sampai 2 tahun~ itu memang dituntut oleh Islam).

12. Fully breastfeeding your child can make you lose that pesky post-baby weight. Jangan bimbang kalau baby weight tu susah sangat nak hilang. After all, kita kan dah spend 9 bulan lebih untuk gain all the weight, takkan la nak expect semua berat tu hilang dalam dua atau tiga bulan! Unless, ye la, kau ni celebriti ke hapa yang banyak duit boleh buat lipo atau hire personal trainer. I personally hate you.

13. Enjoy every moment of it!


* kata seorang poster di komuniti breastfeeding di LiveJournal (tentang mengapa kita tak boleh menggoncang susu ibu yang telah disuamkan untuk diberi kepada bayi).

What’s cookin’ in my world right now…

Natural disasters yang menimpa jiran2 kita, marilah sama2 muhasabah diri di atas apa yang berlaku ke atas orang lain. Dan hulurkanlah bantuan fizikal atau financial, setakat yang terdaya. Sedihnya aku tengok budak2 kecik yang jadi anak yatim sekelip mata sebab kehilangan ibu bapa, dan aku tak dapat bayangkan kalau apa2 terjadi pada keluarga aku atau kita semua, nauzubillah.


AI Finals – Cookie over Archie.

I’ve just got a new niece (our very first paternal granddaughter after a string of baby boys) ~ Naomi Anis. Lahir 14th May, berat approx. 3.6kgs. Woohoo!

In the midst of buying my first ride. It’s got shocks, pegs, *bendera mexico lusuh berkibar* lucky! Damn I’m tired of staying at home with the kids whenever the MoTH is not at home. But first I have to accustom myself with driving an auto car. And driving in real life. Takut!!!

Harrison Ford is *too old* to don the fedora. Period. Come on la, dia sebaya ayah aku, ok. And a buffed-up Shia LeBeouf ? DO NOT WANT!!! Aku rasa, sejak dah ada Nabil ni aku dah tak sempat nak ke panggung. Maklum ajelah, aku kena ambik around 1 hour break everyday untuk pam susu (“You are the Dairy Queen, young and thin only seventeen”- You wish. *rolls eyes*) dan kena balik on time sebab nak ambik Nabil dari rumah babysitter, ditambah pulak dengan kerja yang melambak2. Hadoi. Aku benci betul benda2 ad-hoc ni. :(

Sejak siri Bella dah habis, aku macam dah takde cerita nak look forward to. Sarat dengan adegan2 cliché tapi agak lain daripada cerita2 yang selalu aku tonton. Mengajar penonton yang semua masalah hidup boleh diselesaikan dengan solekan yang tebal, betul tak Tengku Sandra? Yeah. Oh ya, aku cuba jugak cari Iqram Dinzly di Facebook, tapi yang ada cuma Iqram Singh. Sigh.

Untuk peminat filateli, esok setem baru mula dijual. Temanya, ulangtahun ke-100 St Johns Ambulans Malaysia. *nampak duit berkepak terbang meninggalkan aku*

My posties as of last two months.

Koleksi poskad aku sekarang rasanya dah lebih 1,000. Best betul PostCrossing dah naikkan had poskad yang dalam perjalanan mengikut jumlah kad yang dihantar!

Apa lagi ye?
Oh, back to work then!

  I CAN HAS UPDATEZ ?

Nabil is 4m+ now. Dah cucuk imunisasi ikut schedule. Berat sekarang – 6.1 kg. Since aku belum lagi bersihkan baby stroller Ikmal (yang dah dekat 5 tahun bersarang dalam plastik), setiap kali outing dengan dia mcm pikul seguni beras Faiza Taj Mahal. Lenguh mak!

Nabil & Ikmal, si abang suka sangat bergurau dengan adiknya.

Aku dah start imtroducekan solid, walaupun sekarang ni, umur yang sesuai ialah 6 bulan ke atas. (Phew, macam2 dah berubah sejak aku lahirkan Ikmal dulu- masa tu, umur sesuai utk start weaning ialah 4 bulan ke atas).

Nabil taking EBM (expressed breast milk) via bottle.

On the other hand…

Tahniah buat Faizal Tahir!!!! Sukanya aku tempoh peng’gam’annya dah habis and also award yang melambak2 kat AIM! Chill dude! Don’t get over-excited this time. And kudos juga buat Elyana yang ‘berjaya’ menjawab teguran seorang penulis di akhbar melayu hari ahad hari tu, pasal isu dia tak berkasut. Aku setuju sangat dengan dia, bukan dia bukak baju pun! Lagipun, aku selalu aje berkaki ayam di pejabat, sebab lebih senang. (well, literally la, walaupun aku pakai stoking).

MCR’s DVD, out 24th June. Squee!!!


The Dark Knight + Wanted. (Whatta hell la Wanted ni. Asyik2 keluar gambar Angie Jolie. AFAIC, hero filem ni James frakkin McAvoy. Promoting her instead of him, pada aku adalah seumpama mempromote Obi Wan Kenobi dalam filem Star Wars. Apa hal?
