26th Oct 2010 (monday)

Work- Drove to n fro..hubbs had a meeting in Ganu...put one of my BFF on standby...(thank god for BFF's) hihih...after work..drove to SIL..attended a small gathering/kenduri to send her MIL for Hajj...met hubbs there then drove back home...

27th Oct 2010 (tuesday)

Woke up..dressed for work..drank my morning milo..then felt like "malas" plus felt like there was a bug in my tummy trying to get out... decided to take mc.. wen hubbs woke up..asked him to take me to our GP..told her i felt gassy in my abdomen but the wind wud not make its way out.....she told me to be cautious..coz it cud lead to contractions..

All day long relaxed at home..went for a short lunch with SIL n her hubby..slept..then towards evening felt like i was having a mild contraction..(but x brapa sure..coz before ths with harris i was induced so i was a little blur on how contractions was suppose to feel like..(boley??))

Around 8pm my mucus plug made its appearance with streaks of blood..pain was stilll bearable..did a quick research on the net, it says that even if u hav mucus..it mite still be a long way..it cud even take weeks..so i relaxed..prayed..had dinner...9ish..called my amateur gynae " ika" ... to make sure tht ths was contractions..hahhah

at around 10 ish..called SDMC...told them abt my condition..they said..if u cant bear with the pain..or there's bleeding u can come..so i tried to sleep..asked hubbs to monitor my contractions..everytime it came id squeeze his arm..at that point it was like 5 minutes apart..yet still bearable..we were contemplating on when we shud go to d hospital..hubbs said..we'll c until 12 am..but around 11ish i felt the contractions had gotten slightly stronger.. i was thinking about the wonders of having pethedine to ease the pain..so told hubbs..i think i wanna go now...so there we were with my hospital stuff still incomplete n harris jumping around thinking we were goin for another regular checkup..we packed...n left my bam bam who was wailing... wanting to follow us..i was heartbroken...

arrived at SDMC lobby at around 12am..waited for hubbs to park..n then we walked to the labor room..even refusing the wheelchair (konon terrorlah..hahah) had to stop upon every contraction...the midwife who greeted us..was a young sarawakian girl..she was nice..asked me to change as she wanted to check my dilation...

Was expecting to hear 3 or 4 cm the most but was suprised that she said sudah 6-7cm dah..godness!..me n hubbs looked at each other n laughed..cos we initially wanted to wait ..hahah very not funny..i cud hav delivered at home..so thru the chaos of preparing for my delivery..n calling for my gynae which arrived at around 12.35am...i was still able to bear with the contractions until i was 9.5cm dilated at that point i started moaning.. they gav me the gas..which helped me from screaming my lungs out..it was as expected..painful..

1248am..my 2nd baby..HAZIR MOHD RIZAL was born weighing 3.25kg..syukur alhamdulillah.......n this time round..because it happened so fast hubbs had no time to hide behind the curtain (he did this when we had harris as my gynae asked him if he was ok..which he responded to not being able to stand blood..so he was shooed out of the delivery room)..alhamdulillah he was there from the beginning till end..by 2.45am i was wheeled out to my room..n the first thing i wanted was bread..i was hungry..but there was no bread around..we (me n hubbs) tried sleeping but cudnt... i guess we were so suprised that the baby came so soon n it happened so fast..2 weeks before my actual EDD..but praise to ALLAH that it happened ths way...just at the rite time..wen hubbs had returned from outstation..

Thank you all for visiting..for congratulating..n prayers...it was much appreciated... my heartiest n highest thanks to my family..especially my SIL for taking care of bam bam during the nite we were at the hospital n to my MIL.. there are no words that can describe how thankful i am to her for taking care of me like her own daughter during my confinement..thank you..may allah bless her with life's kindness..n after life.to my parents..tq for their non stop prayers for me..mom even prayed tahajud n hajat when she knew i was in labor i delivered rite after she finished.. :-)...n to my hubby...if u ever find time to read this..thank you..sooo much..for everything that u've done...i feel so blessed to hav u...my mr ice cool blended...

...thou many say it was a breeze delivery for me..i still am contemplating whether to hav another..hahah...painful woo..n so now im recuperating at home on my 8th day...good news is that my tukang urut said..i can go out by my 36th day..but still hav to to do the pantang ritual till the 44th...yahooo!!!!!!!..

Baby's first day...

Papa doing wat he does best..his work..his office is 24hrs with him..

Yesterday...

2010-04-29T08:40:00.009+08:00

Yesterday marked officially another additional year to my age..of course if i had a choice..id opt to subtract the year off..heheh yeah me living in denial..dah tua tu buat lah cara dah tua...haahha

There were no flowers for my birthday ths time..nor was there any birthday bash or the sort..but i was blessed with fb wishes that poured in all day long...thanks guys..love u..xoxo... my better half had already bought me out for my birthday dinner at VS the night before in fear that he'd b caught up with work yesterday..the food was marvelous..just right..lama dah x g sebenarnya...

Yesterday after work..i came home to this.....

My mr ice cold blended really knows how to make my day..despite of his chillss..(love u sayang..) he made harris do ths..of course i got another card from him..which was utterly sweet too..but if i paste it here u'll all b lining up to the clinic...calling sick..hehehe...

So in spite of people saying the grass always looks greener on the other side..im really thankful and grateful to Allah..that my side of the grass mite not b the side that people wud want to b on..as it may hav uneaven patches n may not be covered with the finest class of grass..but it has just the rite amount of everythg..n on days that really matters..it will never let me down...come rain or shine..this side of the grass is where i belong..how can i not melt when i c ths 'O' o man..ths pumpkin mite not b mine if my grass was greener....

And to end my entry for today..i hv a small announcement to make...some may hav already known..but for those of u who haven't...ths is my biggest bday pressie ths year..but it does not come in a blue or rather turquoise box with white ribbons..

I officially turned 12 weeks yesterday so..first trimester almost done..alhamdulillah..hopefully it'll be a good 2nd and 3rd...not to say my first was that bad..but i experienced nausea all day long for ths pregnancy..hoping that it'll go away now that its 12 weeks..n that xplains y i look like a tong drum...

ER..n stiches...

2010-04-15T16:11:00.005+08:00

The toughest moment ive had to endure as a mother thruout my 2 years and almost 5 months span as one had to b yesterday...

I reached home at around 7pm..i saw bambam at the door smiling..while my helper seemed rather gloomy and was dressed to go out..she greeted me n said "kak..bawak harris ke clinic...dia jatuh tadi kat toilet..darah..kat kepala"..i was of course shocked..n asked her to bring him in the car while i went in to get his medical card...

While driving to the clinic i asked her the basic's of how, when n what q's..luckily harris was active as ever..even singing n giggling..it happened at around 6pm..he slipped after wee wee at his pottyin the toilet n terkena bendul pintu..i thank god that he did not puke or was not lethargic..at the clinic the gp told me that the wound had to b stiched..but she was afraid that harris wud struggle as there were no equipment or sedation that was suitable..so she told me to go to d hospital n gave me a refferal letter as well as giving harris the medication for his wound..here he is with a bandage around his head...n still acting as if nothing had happened...

Upon arriving at the ER..which was at around 8pm..registered, then at the triage room the moa checked his pulse, temperature, weight n all...everythg seemed fine..then waited until the doc came n checked him...the doc ran thru some of the basic q's as When,how..throwing up? lethargic..allergies? then..again we were asked to wait...for his turn to b stiched..

Harris was running up and down..playing singing...smpai org pelik..ths boy got cuts but does not seem to b affected at all...we were hungry n the only source of food was from the vending machine outside...i bought harris koko crunch n kit kat..n soya bean milk for me...at around 10pm came harris turn..he was strapped..but the doc asked me to leave the room..as she knew that i was and afraid of blood..n also to c harris in such pain...only lili my maid accompanied him..i waited anxiously...then came the painful part..hearing him wail n scream..i knew it hurts..how i wish i cud trade places..i went behind the curtain but did not dare to look..i was sure i cud faint if i was in there..and of all times ths had had to happened while hubby was away...my maid came out crying as she cud not bear to c him like that...after the doc went out..i brave myself to console harris..he was crying..basically because of him being strapped...i tried to calm him down so that the nurse cud spray alchohol..n plaster his wounds...but he stopped crying as soon as he was unstrapped....n when we exited the treatment room..he immediatley asked for his koko crunch..n he was back to his usual self...he did not even mention of his pain...mama is soo proud of u..ur such a strong boy...of course part of this was because he had local bius...so after paying n getting meds..we arrived home at 11pm..we stopped over at Mc D..i bought him his fav..fries..

He was back to his old self..singing...dancing...harris..ooh harris...

Did i scold my maid..NO..

Did i want to fire her..NO..

Y? because i believe in the fate of God...as it his willing ths thing happen "Kun Fayakun" Jadilah Maka Jadilah..dengan kehendaknya tak kira di atas tangan sesiapa pun..i am glad n syukur to Allah that it was not severe or anythg more worse ...of course that being said.ths is also a lesson for us to be more cautious....

I did'nt sleep well last nite in fear that he wud wake up n feel the pain..but alhamdulillah he slept like a log..n woke up as usual...ths was him this morning..watching his fav Hot Dog (Mickey mouse)..

Gas OOh Gas...

2010-04-08T09:35:00.003+08:00

I was starving like hell on my way back from work yesterday ..as i only had heavy breakfast n no lunch except for roti..(Yes my problem is..if i eat rice in the morning..i cannot eat lunch be it mee/spaghetti/burger ..x leh masuknya)..so i was really 2 hoping to c food laid out on the table wen i reached home wic was kind of late as i had to settle thgs that was urgent...

to my disappointment..rupanya gas habis but the preparation nak masak kari ikan merah dah siap..(Hmm sedapnya!!!) ...an wen i reached home it was already 7.30pm...luckily hubbs got home earlier then me so he had already called for the gas guy to come...but after an hour of waiting...there was no sign of gas..the only gas that was hissing was coming from the growl of hunger from my stomach...hubby decided to call again for the second time..the guy said..

" sudah kuar..sudah kuar!"

"10 min lagi smpai..apa alamat??"

Hah naik hantu lagi en weezal bila org tu tanya apa alamat lagi..nmpk sgt lah x keluar lagi...last2 last cancel..so we called another number...yg ni ckp another half an hour...around 40 minutes later..the guy with the gas came....oklah...but..it didn't end there...

Boleh pulak the head to the gas and the gas tong tak leh masuk..after numerous failed attempts the gas guy ckp " x boleh lah..kena tukar tong!!!" at ths point nak gelak ada nak mati kebulur pun ada...

So the guy went off to change the gas tong...after another half hour he came bearing the rite tong gas that cud be connected..at ths point of time hubbs had scooted off to find food...

So to end the story..we had our dinner at 10 pm..which to our hsehold standard is very late...especially me yg dah angin satu badan...

Begitulah ceritanya.....

The Value of RM10...

2010-03-09T10:35:00.005+08:00

During my days at bootcamp...i met a lot of ppl..from all walks of life..from those that come from very "kais makan pagi background" to those where Dome/Starbucks breakfast is a ritual....mingling around n making frens with these people taught me a lot..(yeah..ths was the positive impact of bootcamp)..

Basically our months pay was the same...but they came a line on how we all spent our money..n how fast it all shrank wen comparing to the others...well basically we all took home the same figure..but it came down to a lot of things that made the shrinking faster...like were they married? if so.. did they hav kids? how many? if it was a guy..the money definitely shrunk faster due to their bigger responsibility..if they had parents to help..the more...

i also came across those without any financial burden..being single..rich family..so of course money was no problem...and those with good income pay husbands..so again $$ was no issue...

People in general..not just in bootcamp..love to judge at other people's lifestyle...to me its ok to comment..but before u go on n on n on about ones life..just ask urself..have u ever been in their shoes? do u know exactly what goes on in their life??? so if u don't..lets just keep the comments at minimal...one thing that i did not come across among the sea of 300++ people in camp... is a person judging the value of RM10 to another person...(yup suprisingly..) if someone in our group did not agree on a figure to be collected..no one said like "eh x kan Rm10 pun xleh!!.." because i guess..we all understood that RM10 to u may be worth more than RM10 to us...we saw how our frens struggle to pay flight tickets to be with their families even just for a nite..mothers who spent RM500 a nite just to be with their babies..in that sense i felt soo lucky...being close to my baby..thou i didnt get to go home..he was always close...

My roomate at bootcamp..who althou was single..helped her family a lot..she was always on budget...but i respected her...caring for her family...bought a car for her parents..drove her parents everywhere..i really hope Allah will find a kind soul to take care of her..she deserves it..n the value of RM10 to her is worth more than mine...another fren was beaming from ear to ear when she got to buy 3 bags at RM300++..one for her mom...one for her MIL n one for herself...

The point of my entry is..NO..there is no issue at present on my part on the value of RM10..but i was compelled to write when I saw a group judging someone...i may be no angel..but hey..pls respect other people's life.... i do..i made a pact to always try n understand..if one day..ur RM10 mite be equivalent to my RM100..n u hear me judging u..please do not hesitate to tick me off....because i learnt also in bootcamp that those who try not to judge others..have a more blissful life....without the long list of wants...they live with needs..but their lives r happy n blessed...

NAK HOLIDAY LAGI................

Short VAcay...Bliss

2010-02-22T09:41:00.009+08:00

I had the chance to unwind on my short trip accompanying my better half on business…well business for him pleasure for me..he had a meeting in Kuala Terengganu…

Have you guys heard of Ryi-Yaz heritage Resort??? We’ll maybe a lot of u hav but not moi…atleast not until I googled it up n end up staying there for a night..hubbs had a meeting in K.Terengganu n asked me to accompany..n me the person who always needs a break..jump to d idea…

I just love the place..before this...the only hotel that comes to mind in Kuala Terengganu is Primula ParkRoyal…but the place... as most reviews pointed out..has run down n in desperate need for refurbishment….apparently Ryi-yaz is the official place for d Monsoon Cup and is situated on Pulau Duyong… since it is more of a resort style setting, the rooms were scattered on the compounds of the hotel making it more exclusive..the rooms are spacious..n beautifully decorated..since the resort compound is quite big..u will need a buggy to chauffer u around ie: lobby to rooms..rooms to coffee house…but the buggy is just a dial away…cum rain or shine..always at ur service…we didn’t bring bambam on this trip as hubbs felt that it was just a short trip n wud make him worn out due to the 5 ½ hour journey..

We were given a room very near to the pool wic was fab n also playgrond…apparently this is the only resort that can accommodate all 13 rulers of the state at once for Majlis Raja-raja..as I was told…the rooms are sold at RM5k per nite for public..n is situated beautifully along the banks of the river cum muara.althou there were no beaches here but the fishing village view from the resort is soo beautiful…

The hotel provided free shuttle to the infamous Pasar Payang..but if u want a faster service u can opt for their gondola service which charges RM6 per head to n fro pasar paying..it only took less than 5 minutes to cross from Pulau Duyong to Pasar Payang..plus it was fun…coz practically we were d only passengers..

Since hubbs had to work the following day..i had breakfast alone…but it wasn’t a problem to me..with a book in hand..i enjoyed breakfast ala a tourist..hihih..i requested a late checkout since rizal was still at work..but was only given till 1pm due to heavy check ins..but nevertheless the was still a café that I cud lepak while waiting..which offered food at a generous price…then at 2pm I went to their cinema..yes the hotel has a cinema…hihi ala mini cinema..it host shows 4 times a day as early as 10am (if m not mistaken) till 8pm..n its of course on the house..its actually a room where they project the movie..n scatter comfy chairs for u to enjoy the movie..n since I was the only one watching..i had the room all to myself…but in between the movie..hubbs called saying he was at the reception already..too bad...really enjoyed myself…before venturing back to KL..we stopped at the very famous keropok lekor stall..we were told by hubbs fren that the que during holidays can b so doomed..but yesterday was no holiday..but damn the que was soo long…so we decided to eat the keropok lekor goreng only….mmg sedap..No wonderlah que like hell…I’ll let the photos’ do the talking(alamak tertinggal hp cable..will update l8r) ..org sekali beli like 100..200 gilos…

The so called Cinema

So all in all I enjoyed our trip..insyallah pergi jenjalan lagi since hubbs in charge of eastern region. so insyallah there’ll b more business cum pleasure vacay..moi je yg susah nak cuti selalu..hihi

Enjoy the photos!!

p/s mind my blog template..its currently under construction..

Ageing Beautifully....

2010-02-02T10:20:00.012+08:00

Being beautiful is in every woman’s book, born with beauty is a blessing..but not everyone is lucky in that department..i.e looking beautiful minus effort…some people just got it..some people bloom from ugly duckling to “hello georgeous”..while some people like me…just have to accept that beauty for us does not come from the looks department....

Ok enough of my estranged intro..must b PMS…cutting it short..the intro above is actually associated with a conversation that happened last Saturday at my uncle’s place..the conversation involved 5 ladies…

Plot:

Lady #1,#2,#3 was standing infront of Lady #4 who was sitting accompanied by Lady #5…

The conversation...

Lady #1 : Cantik awak ni ye…

Lady #2 : Aah..cantik lah..x jemu tengok..

Lady #3 : (smiling n nodding in agreement)

*Lady #4 stunned n started to blush..which was cute…

Lady #1 : Mesti masa muda cantik…(while gesturing her hand at Lady #4's face) at this point Lady #5 wanted to do summersaults laughing

Lady#4 : Ish dah tua dah…

Lady #1n#2 : cantik..betul cantik….

Then Lady #1,#2,#3 shook hands with Lady #4 and #5 n left…

Ok im sure most of u r confused n or even WTH?? Tu pon nak cerita ke or whatever….to unconfused u guys…read on..

Lady #1 is an old lady…I believe she is somewhere in her late 70s to early 80's…Lady#2 is her daughter who is in her early 40's..i believe the same can be said about Lady #3…..

On the other hand Lady #5 is me... who witness this conversation…while Lady #4 is actually my grandmother who turns 87 this October..insyallah….

So if u guys get my story…u’ll understand y it tickled me…to receive such compliment from an outsider at 86++... not just any kind of compliment..but a compliment saying that u look beautiful is something..well atleast to me it is…

Before you guys start putting thoughts in your head…im well aware that I did not inherit any of this beauty.. mom did thou…my mom inherited the fine features of grandma’s beauty... well at least in her younger days…now she needs to pile on d kilos to get back that look I guess….

At 86++ my grandma has no major illness..every organ in her is working properly…her eyes r still 20/20…of course old age has caught up with her…but yes...to me she’s still beautiful…but that does not involve any cosmetics magic…just the magic of god…my grandmother devotes her time to Al-Quran n praying…u name all the sunat prayer or things that is sunat to be done..she’ll do it ever since she was a teenager..she does not know how to read or write as my late grandfather was not into girls going to school even though he could afford it…..

So I guess that explains y at 86 she can still receive the compliment we women thrive for….here's a photo of my grandma at 86 n looking beautiful..(heheheh)

Picking up from where I left...

2010-01-20T07:40:00.006+08:00

Im still alive ppl..I made it thru BOOT CAMP..woot..woot...

It’s been a little over a month since I ended my BOOT CAMP..yeah the 7 months of gruesome pain..heart wrenching..being dirty n mucky n yucky..swearing..cursing..sweating like a p*iG..bonding..laughter..tears.. …u name it..it all comes in a wonderful package…of course no doubt the most difficult part of it all was being away from ur loved one’s..but I consider myself lucky , surrounded by a close knit clan that I can rely n depend on..they were always there to aid me thru my toughest days..i wish to thank them all with all I have…my family..imran especially for being my beck n call sometimes when I was in need of things..my in laws..my PIL..who willingly took care of bambam whenever I was out of KL..my SIL n Hubby..for taking in bambam n his nanny on the days that he is in KL…to my maid..for bearing with us..thru it all…even if it meant being shipped here n there (she even said “mama harris kursus..kami pun kursus jugak.. ;-))..n lastly n most importantly to my Mr. who has been very patient even though I know that he hate's having to go thru all this..he hardly complain's..n has been very very understanding.. never failed to help me even if it means having to do the things he hate's..never once got mad over my vEry..very hecTic schedule... I know I may never be able to repay all of their kindness..may ALLAH blessed them n give the best in everything for being so kind….

Harris thru me being away..became very independant.. the changes n development in him sometimes just catch me by surprise..he’s not so clingy..can be left home without any hassle..can b taught to do things easily..even separating him from our bed was done without a fight n no major drama…he can sleep on his own bed..without trying to scramble on top of ours in the wee hours of the morning..can b trained to sit in his car seat or wear seat belts without any fuss..knows to put his bottle cap on after drinking n put it in the kitchen sink..he’s soo discipline it makes me wonder..at 2 yrs old..what Operating system is he on!! but despite that..Of course he’s still two n he’s at the terrible 2 stage..on n off he has his tantrums..refuses to sleep early..even when we’re done reading books with him..the whole library of books! Yes ppl my son has a mini library..n will want to read every single book before sleeping..n it really gets to me sometimes when im sooo worn out..but nevertheless…Im so proud of him..even if its nothing to others..its something to me…harris mama loves u very very much…n am so proud of u…

I’ll try to blog about my 7 months adventures. when I have the will to do so..my penchant for writing has long left me since the boot camp where exams were part of our weekly touture..without fail they’ll be exams almost every week..having to squish ur brain on subjects that does not concern nor interest’s u is wat I detest most..n on top of that there were endless assignments..thats y I gave blogging a break..the fact that u have to put ur thoughts into word just puts me off..im done with writing..as for now…

So ill leave u guys to that…hope u’ll be patient for more updates from me..especially to ***i..who request me to update my blog…sabar yea…

Before I sign off..here r some photo’s on 2 occasions harris birthday bash..n my hubby’s small bday celebration..n I give all my credit to my SIL who made of the fantabolous cakes..nak order buzz me ye…. ;)

HArriS 2nd Birthday..

Hi dearie..dearest n fellow members of my blog readers..

It's been a while since i've updated.. even had to dust off the cobwebs here..n im sneezing trying to blow off the thick dust that has gathered...nway a quickie on whats happening in my mystical life..I've been sooooooooo bz at work..SWAMPED with THINGS TO DO n the list seems to be never ending...I sure cannot wait for this day to end...Really..really n i mean Really need to catch up on a lot of resting n ZZzZzzzzzz... much to this hecticness was caused be me, myself n i attending the interesting course i mentioned on my FB status..

GOoGle Fu!!..yup that's the name of the course...n boy was it worth it??.. every second of the two day course...i loved it!!..id never enjoyed a course soo much...(on a norm..id attend courses because it's compulsory!!) ..the fact that i was fidgeting to get back to the course as i had to attend a meeting in between says it all..I didn't wanna miss even one module..

Basically the course trains us to ask anything..yup ANYTHING that comes across our minds (except matters of the heart..hihih) to Google...before this i've always had a pet name for google which is Dr. google..but now im promoting it to Prof. Google... Tips n tricks were given on how to narrow down our search.. to like a few hundreds or even to 10 from millions web page retrieved once we type a keyword...n u can find like absolutely anything..yup anything n everything..as long as it's hosted... which leads us to one downside..n its creepy wen u think of it..any personal information we put in the net can be captured and hacked..although not everybody can do it..but just bare in mind..hacking n building your personal profile from the info u post on the net is not that hard... so my advise don't disclose too much information on the net..better still keep it up to a minimum..n please please think before u upload any photo's that mite haunt u back ...because even if u restrict ur profile/photo's on the fb..its still up available in the web market.... yup it can be done n it has be done..n u don't need CIA to do it...even i can!!!! given the proper training...(but rest assure..i don't have time to do so..n i respect peoples privacy)..

This course really benefits everyone actually..especially a person like me..who constantly refers to Prof Google..i soo wanted to attend this course because im sure it will be beneficial to me when i have to pursue my postgraduate studies...n i sure feel it's worth it...id love to sign up for an advance course even as an independent participant..n even if it means i hav to dig up my own pocket money n spare a handbag of my dreams..(for a moment) hehehe

So guys..as i have to resume to my actual job..i'll leave u guys with a search engine for u test run n oso a tip i learned from the course...have fun..

1. search-cube - search for anything n see what happens..its really kewl..
2. Worrying wether ur loved ones have departed on their flight or wanting to know wether they've arrived type thier Flight no. e.g MH1 (it works with air asia too)on the goole search panel n c wat happens..

sad but VEry true..

2009-02-23T10:50:00.002+08:00

I was browsing thru my email..ths morning n found this in my inbox..fowarded from a fren..thought id share it wif u guys..

Interesting quote from the movie 'Why did I get married?'

In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in your relationship. There is always another person (man or women) that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking in your relationship that you WANT And believe me, 20% looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current relationship.

But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get something better with the other 20% that you WANT

But as reality has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with having the 20% that you WANT and loosing the 80% that you really NEED and that you already had.
Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. 'Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not'

Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did.

Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 80% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 20%. Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature.

You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she says: 'I broke my arm yes terday, Hahahaha . . ..'

Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt Or because your husband is the quiet
type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.

But wait! That's only 20% of what you don't have.

Don't throw away the 80% that you already have!

That's not all. Add to your spouse's 80% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.

But faithfulness happens when you st art thanking God for what you already have.

But I'm not just talking about marriage.

I'm talking about life!

About your jobs.
About your friends.
About your children.
About your lifestyles.

Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's missing? 'They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal videos!'

I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class -- because they are not riding in a private Lear Jet?

The main message???

If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are, you are first class!

In loving memories...Makpon...Al-fatihah

I lost a dearly beloved aunt last Monday...it rocked my world as she was a very very dear aunt...the wife of my mom's brother..for those SMSJians..my aunt was the mother of our senior..n super senior to some of u guys..K.Fazidah Othman (suria) n MIL to Rezo Jasman (yes they married)..n oso an aunt to another SMSJians..Hizlan hussin (96)...(yes i hav a number of SMSJians in my family...which also includes my youngest bro Idris..n my second cousin...who's our super duper senior..batch 87..

My aunt just got back from Jakarta Bandung trip...accompanying her husband...i met her last saturday..as she came to send my grandmother to KL..my late aunt takes care of my grandma most of the time....since my grandmother was in KL..i told hubbs that i wanna visit her..we spent a few hours there at K.fazidah's place...im soo glad that i did..because that was the last time we chatted..she was fine..nothing odd or so...she left for Johor to my parents place the coming Monday as the flight was from Senai....

They came back last Friday..n my parents fetch them at the airport..dad told me that makpon (we call her that) had a fever n was very weak..they took her to a clinic that nite n the doc ruled out that she may hav had a major food poisoning...Come saturday..my uncle wanted to go back to Muar...so off they went..she was still weak..all of her children cam back that nite....most of them arrived in the wee hours in the morning..they knocked on her door..she opened..although she was weak...they decide to take her to the hospital the following day (Sunday)..n she was admitted..she was sedated..doc said that she has very critical pnemonia which had effected her kidney causing it to not function ... come nite her Bp was very low so the doc gave her the strongest medicine to try and push the Bp back up..by then all my aunts n uncle had gone back to Muar...feeling uneasy i contacted my cousin..to car pool with them as hubbs had an urgent matter to attend to that day...but before we cud even begin our journey back...

She left us all at 8.55am..i was on my way back home wen i got the news..i felt dumbstruck...numb.and..speechless....till now i can never swallow the fact that she's gone forever...

I miss her..n can never begin to imagine how our raya wud be after this..she was the core of our raya..our family celebrations..she was always there behind every event in our family..Muar means her delicious food on the table...her laughter n smiles fills the hse..her images dances in front of me everytime i think of her..i miss her soo..sooo much..she's like another mother to me...a referral to my mom n aunts..a guide to cooking for all of us..n now shes gone...the hse instantly seems sooo gloomy..sooo sad..they'll b no more of her wonderful cakes n biscuits...

however the saddest part of all was wen her real mother came..my aunt is actually Chinese by birth but given to a malay family...some years back.. they reunited..but i guess after soo many years it was very awkward for her n the mother to reconnect...the mother came wailing by her jenazah..

" mama datang..mama datang" wiping her face with handkerchief...
(it was a real drama swasta moment for us...)

thou thru all the sadness..im glad that to see the masses of turnout for her funeral..it was a sea of people...almost everybody in our huge-huge family came....glad to see that she had rows n rows of jemaah for her sembahyang jenazah..glad to know that her last breath was with by her two sons..her last breathe exhaled was just after her sons had finished reciting the last verse of yassin...glad that she didn't suffer long...and glad to see the her eldest son lead the jenazah prayers ...yup..mmg sejuk perut ibu mengandung..knowing that u raised such a son...it just hits me to my deepest core...i hope that Harris will one day be able to do the same...being able to lead the last prayer for me..means a lot...i hope u guys can encourage (including myself) n prepare ur husbands..brothers especially those eldest to do the same for their parents...it may be the best gift they can ever receive..even though they cannot see it virtually....

In loving memories..of Hajjah Nyapon Hj Abd Wahab....u'll b greatly missed..i really really miss u..n hope Allah tempatkan Makpon dikalangan yang beriman...amin...

Alfatihah..

Why should babies be breastfed?

Breast milk is the most complete form of nutrition for infants. Breast milk has just the right amount of fat, sugar, water, and protein that is needed for a baby's growth and development. Most babies find it easier to digest breast milk than they do formula.
There are health risks to the baby if it is not breastfed. Breast milk has agents (called antibodies) in it to help protect infants from bacteria and viruses. Babies who are not exclusively breastfed for 6 months are more likely to develop a wide range of infections diseases including ear infections, diarrhea, and respiratory illnesses. They are sick more often and have more doctor's visits.
Breastfed babies score higher on IQ tests in childhood, especially babies who were born prematurely.
Nursing uses up extra calories, making it easier to lose the extra weight gained during pregnancy. It also helps the uterus to get back to its original size and lessens any bleeding you might have after giving birth.
Breastfeeding lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancers and possibly the risk of hip fractures and osteoporosis after menopause.
Breastfeeding can help women bond with their babies. Physical contact is important to newborns and can help them feel more secure, warm and comforted.

BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING

Benefits for Infant	Benefits for Mother
Perfect food for infant Guarantees safe, fresh milk Enhances immune system Protects against infectious and noninfectious diseases Protects against food allergies and intolerances Decreases risk of diarrhea and respiratory infections Promotes correct development of jaw, teeth, and speech patterns Decreases risk of childhood obesity Increases cognitive function Increases bonding with mother	Promotes less postpartum bleeding Promotes faster return to pre-pregnancy weight Eliminates the need for preparing and mixing formula Saves money not spent on formula Dec Promotes faster shrinking of the uterus reases risk of breast and ovarian cancer Increases bonding with infant Enhances self-esteem in the maternal role Delays the menstrual cycle

2. What are good breastfeeding practices?

Good breastfeeding practices include:

Starting to breastfeed within one hour of birth
Feeding the baby breastmilk and nothing else, not even water, for the first six months of life
Introducing other appropriate and adequate foods thereafter while continuing to breastfeed the baby for as long as possible

3. Why is breastfeeding the baby within one hour of birth important

The breasts make milk only if they are stimulated by suckling. A baby just born needs only a few drops of milk, and the mother's breasts have this. When the baby suckles, the breast is stimulated to produce more milk. The baby will go to sleep with the just the few drops, but when he/she wakes up, the mother's breast will be full of milk for the next feed. The first few drops of milk, called colostrum, protects the baby from infections. Feeding within one hour of birth can reduce the risk of illness by 6 times.

4. How can a woman start breastfeeding within an hour after a Cesarian?

Initiation of breastfeeding is often delayed after a cesarian section. However, the woman can start breastfeeding as soon as she is fully conscious and alert. Women who have epidural anesthesia are generally able to hold the baby sooner and nurse for a longer period initially, than those who have general anesthesia. It is important that the woman breastfeeds the baby during the first day.

5. What is colostrum and how does it help the baby?

Colostrum is the thick, yellowish milk that the mother's breast produces for the first few days after delivery. It is rich in antibodies against several common diseases. When the baby drinks colostrum, the antibodies pass into its body and help to protect the baby against these infections, which can be life threatening for the baby

6. What is exclusive breastfeeding?

Exclusive breastfeeding means giving the baby only breastmilk and nothing else. Any other fluid or foods, even water, can interfere with the milk supply.

7. What about water?

During the six months of exclusive breastfeeding, the baby does not require anything else, not even water. Breastmilk alone is sufficient to meet all its needs. During this period, the baby should not be given any water, other milks, juices, teas, soups, or any other kinds of liquids and solids, other than immunization (drops, such as Oral Polio Vaccine), any medication as part of a treatment prescribed by a qualified health worker.

8. What if the baby continues to be hungry after breastfeeding?

All women can produce enough milk for their babies. Only extremely malnourished women may have difficulty in doing so. The amount of milk produced depends on how often the baby suckles and for how long. The flow of milk from the breast to the baby is dependent upon the woman's state of mind. If she is depressed or worried, the milk that is already in her breasts may not flow to the baby's mouth. She may then get the feeling that her breasts are not producing enough milk for the baby. A trained counsellor can help the woman with her stress and fears, so that the milk will flow from her breast to the baby.

9. What about sore breasts, cracked nipples, etc.?

These problems are usually caused when the milk produced by the breast does not reach the baby. They can be easily treated by a health worker. A trained counsellor can help the woman to relax and enjoy breastfeeding. As the baby continues to suckle and draw out the milk, the problems will disappear.

10. Will exclusive breastfeeding for six months weaken the mother?

A breastfeeding woman requires some extra nutritious food everyday as milk production requires about 800 calories daily. An extra helping of wholesome fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and calcium-rich foods such as an extra glass of milk will meet her needs. She must drink plenty of water during the day while breastfeeding.

11. Can a woman breastfeed if her breasts are small?

Of course! Breast size is not related to the ability to produce milk. Breast size is dependent on the amount of fatty tissue in the breast, and not the amount of milk.

12. Does breastfeeding make breasts sag?

Several studies have shown that breastfeeding does not cause breasts to sag. Sagging is a natural and inevitable process that happens because of age, number of pregnancies and smoking. Diet and genetics may also play a role. Sagging of breasts is not related to breastfeeding in any way.

13. How can a working woman exclusively bring up her baby on breastmilk?

Today, several governments and private sector institutions offer maternity leave to women, when the women can recuperate from child birth and breastfeed the baby. When women do have to go to work, they can express their breastmilk either by hand or by using a breastpump. This milk can be stored, warmed as needed and fed to the baby by the care giver.

14. What about infant formula and other baby milk produced by companies? Are these as good as breastmilk?

Breastmilk is the best milk for babies. No other milk, whether fresh, or powdered, can meet their needs fully. Even the most hygienically manufactured milk is not as good as breastmilk for the baby. However, several times, the manufactured milks may be contaminated with bacteria, chemicals, toxics, etc. Or the water that is used for mixing the milk may be contaminated with these substances even if it is boiled, making other milks doubly dangerous for the baby.

15. Is it safe to take medications while breastfeeding?

Always tell the health worker that you are breastfeeding before taking any medication. The health worker will advise you on the need, the dosage and the precautions you may need to take.

all info are obtained from ONE MILLION CAMPAIGN

p/s there's no such thing as insufficient milk...it's just mind over matter subject...a negative input will actually cause the production of milk to be low..as the body will react in a sense that the baby needs to be supplemented...so guys..pls..if ur not exclusively breastfeeding..its ok..but don't meddle with negative comments of an exclusive breastfeeding mother..cause it does disrupt her milk production...

The HAIR urge....

2009-02-11T16:10:00.008+08:00

I have this weird trait wen it concerns my hair..it's like..wen the urge comes to have it cropped off or permed or the sort..i just have to do it like NOW!! it cannot wait..it must be within 48hrs.. or else it it will bug me..like constantly..it rants in my head like " i must cut my hair!!..i must cut my hair!!!.." it only shuts up wen im fast asleep...

So this urge happened to me last weekend..i looked at my reflection in my not so magic mirror..n i looked at my not so healthy locks..n "BoOOm!!" the clock ticks n the chants starts....

So after visiting my grandma last saturday..hubbs wanted to take a nap..i just couldn't wait to dive into a salon...didn't even care to go inside my hse once everyone was out of the car...i just needed to go to the salon...(yea..it was that bad!!) but mr. hubbs manage to persuade me into performing Asar prayers first...

Off i scooted to Taipan to my fav salon ..KIMMARIE...I love going there because it was cheap..RM25 for senior stylist haircut plus wash n blow..i reckon it was a steal..plus the stylist there r friendly n they really tell u what style suits u n not that suits their pocket...i was intending to do hair relaxing..perhaps in a few months time..but the stylist told me not to do any of the sort as i have this natural wave at the bottom of my locks....so according to him..it looks nice..so just a haircut wud do..

So after the cropping n trimming..the stylist mention that i do not need to do any trimming or the sort for 6 months... (c i told u guys it was a steal...RM25 for 6 months!!.. cheaper than hubbs hair maintainance..cropping at a barber cost him RM10 per month!!)

The only downside of this place is that its Sooooo hard to park in this area..so Weekends preferably n not during lunch hours...but it was a breeze for me as it was only 5 mins from home..

With the hair chopped..now i can get my good nites sleep back without having to worry about any hair nightmares...hihihi

The long haul bus ride....

2009-01-22T08:36:00.010+08:00

Consider this story basi..it happened last friday..but due to my workload n my flu..i kept delaying n delaying trying to squeeze time...so now that i've finally managed..hope i can finish it before my boss calls me in..

Since hubbs had to be in JB for work assignments last thursday..i told him to take my bam bam n his guardian along..coz i had a meeting friday morning, that i can't skip..we were planning to go back to JB even before hubbs mentioned he had work there...it was my cuzzies wedding..so perfect timing..paid trip..business plus pleasure..

nevertheless...because hubbs confirm quite late the flight price was on the unreasonable side..plus if i took Air asia i had to stay another nite..n someone had to send me to LCCT, if i took Firefly..flight was at 5.15pm..n i anticipated the meeting shud b adjourned before 12pm..plus the price quoted was quite ridiculous..MAS..oso the same problem ..expensive..have to go to KLIA....

thinking about it..traveling by plane to JB time wise is equivalent to time spent going there by bus..n its cheaper..(if its adhoc) well basically u have to get ur butt to the airport 45 mins before check in..going to the likes of KLIA n LCCT will take like another 30 to 45 mins..thats like 2 hrs gone easily...not to mention the cost of petrol n toll return for the person sending u..then from Senai..u have to get someone to fetch u...or u hail a cab which will cost u another RM30 plus it takes like 30 -45minutes to get to JB from Senai..n u have to incorporate the basic time spent waiting to unboard the plane..walking to get ur bags..that's another 20-30 minutes......KL-JB non stop bus 4 hrs tops...

But anyway...i guess u guys know i opted to go back by bus..its been years since i got on an express coach to JB..can't even remember my last time..i think 2006 or was it 2005...the price of the ticket had also increased within time..its now like RM31 one way... i reached PUDURAYA by 12.20pm..i looked around for buses that were to depart ASAP..(inside i couldn't wait to be reunited with my bam bam) i rang my brother before hand..asking which buses were non stop ones...so at the ticket counter..this guy came up and said.."JB 12.30pm"..i was like ye ke...
he guided me to the counter..which wasn't very far..i did asked..was the bus there..n the lady at the counter smiled n said yes..its at platform 20..she gave me the plate number n off i scooted..in fear that i wud be late..TRANS STAR waS the express bus name...i did asked the lady ..is this a non stop bus...she informed me it was..4 hrs to JB..

At the platform i texted hubbs n my parents saying that insyallah by 430pm id be in JB..I think i only got to board the bus at aorund 1240pm...long story short..did u guys know wat time the bus left PUDURAYA...2.20pm..i was turning blue n green..turns out that they wanted atleast 20 passengers for that trip..just to cover thier trip...i don't usually tell people off in thier face..but i couldn't stand it anymore..the guy who ushered me to his counter was on the bus..i just told him off..in front off everyone on the bus..(i didn't know where i had the courage..) but hey seriously he was a big fat liar... i can be reasonable if its just half an hour n if outside of PUDURAYA was congested..but no it wsn't..he was like..erm..ok...ok..we're gonna depart now...

N so we did...thank god!!!!..i was stupid..i shud have just got off the bus n requested a refund..silly me..so the journey started..we stopped at ESSO before Sg Besi Toll plaza for gas..the driver said

"sapa mau pegi toilet...sekarang ye..lepas ni takda stop-stop lagi..."(the driver was Chinese)

i thot alhamdulillah...i can reach JB by 6pm....but hell was i wrong...
Dahlah the bus bawak cam siput...I couldn't sleep althou i only had 4 hrs sleep the nite before...n suddenly the bus stopped again at Tangkak R&R area..for another toilet rendezvous...my heart was churning...the stop was like for 15 minutes....the we resumed our journey..just as i was talking to my bro on the phone..n he asked..

"is the bus going to stop again??..to which i replied i don't think so..

The bus made an exit to YOng Peng....i could not explain my how furious i was ...my heart almost stopped..WTF????? i thot this was supposed to be a non stop bus..at Yong Peng stop for like 25minutes..n upon everyone boarding back the bus..i overheard this makcik telling the driver she wanted to stop at KULAI.....I swore i could have killed both the driver n makcik at that time....I was screaming inside...

My brother was laughing in fits...told me off....like

" i told u..y lah u must take unreliable bus..u don't want transnasional coz it stops for half an hour..but now ur losing hours n hours...!!!"

But i had my own laugh..upon Kulai exit...the bus stopped..but we didn't enter Kulai..the bus stopped at the emergency lane besides the ext lane to Kulai toll..the driver said

Driver: "ok makcik Kulai.."
Makcik: "hah..berenti sini je?? igtkan masuk..."
Driver: "oo tak masuk..tak masuk..sini je..makcik jalan sikit (which looked to me like 500 metres) ..sampai toll Kulai"
Makcik:"%&^%(*6986)*)

Me: nak gelak pon ada..kesian pon ada..makcik tu taklah tua sgt still fit an all...but kesian gak lah..

I basically reached UDA at 6.45 pm my brothers rescued me there..coz i was having fits being angry..we drove strait to my Inlaws to be reunited back with bam..bam...

My mum also called me during my BUS EXPEDITION..i was cursing like mad..she in between laughter told me to be patient...sekali skala je naik bus..dugaan lah..bla..bla..bla..lah..but she had me at one point..

"u just get one the taste of others hardship.. u complain like mad...(i even vowed not to take the bus anymore..next time flight all the way..) u get soo worked up because u have a choice..other people go thru it everytime.. however bad their experiences are.. its their only choice..if u didn't have a choice..u wud just go with the flow n not whine n complain..."

Which made me think...life's like that..we complain because we have choices..but if that was my only means of transportation..would i get so worked up?? sure i was late by almost 2hrs plus but i arrived safely..n i get to be reunited with bam..bam...(at that point of time..communications with hubbs had been put off..bcause he was soo caught up with work..n i was soooo into furious fits..= not a good time to b having a decent conversation..he joined us after work n i had cooled off from the incident...

Moral of the story: if u take the bus..buy form a reliable bus company..n stop complaining..others face these kinds of hardship everyday...

HAppy Birthday To The BOSS of my life..

2009-01-15T14:00:00.003+08:00

I wanted to type this entry as soon as i got to the office this morning..however i kept gazing n gazing at my screen my fingers would not dance to any rhythm like it usually did...

i tried hard to find the most beautiful words to convey it on screen as today marks another point in life for my man..adding a number to his age...I soo wanted to blow his mind by what i write as that is the best gift i can afford as of now...As i search n search my heart for the very best way to wish u...i find it hard..n i guess its because u mean sooo much to me that it hurts..n by writing..i think this blog would have to close just to stop me from continuing on n on...so sayang for ur birthday..ill try to wish u in the best possible way..n i hope u will read it by tonite as we're cities away now..i really wish i could be there with u..but we have work commitments to abide...i thank god for giving me a brief moment to be with u this morning on ur birthday...

So sayang here goes..

12 years is how long we've known each other...
10 years back was our first date..or shall i call it our first meet up...
but only after 2005 did we decide to walk down that aisle..or best put..
it was u who initiated the plan...

Some mite say..y it took us that long...but i guess only u n i know the real answer..
yes ive been hurt by you..a hurt that cut soo deep..
n there was a point i tried to move on without u..
but we just can plan our life..the decision is still from above..
n i guess..though we threw each other out of our lifes for that period..
fate destined us to be together again...

I knew life won't be a bed of roses with u..
but i did'nt care..i just followed my heart ...
n alhamdulillah..though i may not b in my paradise rite know..
im thankful that we r blessed..
we have harris to lighten up our grogy days....

I don't know who can ever replace the place u set in my heart...
yes u have ur way in things..n i guess as a wife..i have to obey..
im sorry for not being able to be ur dream wife..
but rest assure that i will try with all that i have to give u the best..

Just waking up beside u..makes my day.
having u home everyday afterwork keeps my sanity...
just being able to scroll ur hp freely is a blessing..
as i wouldnt trade all that just to have an LV in my wardrobe...
just hearing u say I love u..n know u mean it...makes makes me flutter..
i know deep down inside u wanna give us the best..but maybe.maybe..god says its not ur turn yet..
rest assure that..wen i say im dreaming to have a designer bag..or another rock on my finger..
It doesnt mean it has to come from u..
Just as long us ull be with us..n love us for the rest of ur life..its ok..
N if i sigh..it does not mean im frustrated with my life with u..
As u always say..be patient..we never know wats in store for us..
some r lucky now..surely one day we will get to b the lucky ones also..
yes..i always believe in that tooo life is like a cycle..ive been at the top..when others we're at the bottom..so now is my turn to be at the bottom..insyallah..one fine day..we will b at the top again..

So sayang..know that my love for you goes beyond words n i know sometimes i seem to hurt u by my actions..
but i want u to know..that ur my rock..my world..n my journey to paradise..
i hope that i get to be the one to sing happy birthday when u turn 90..even if we're bounded to a wheelchair...

Happy Birthday sayang..

Love
-Shayang-

(yes it may be jiwang..but who cars..its my mans birthday..im allowed to do that..nak muntah sila ke blog lain)

Books n Dessert Galore..

2009-01-12T12:56:00.005+08:00

I had a fairly good weekend...well actually it was a very good Saturday as we had lunch at Aji Don at Plaza Damas in Hartamas... i love dining there because they serve a number of Johor's specialty plus it was cheap..they have the likes of soto rempah, mee rebus (hj wahid style)..satay..tahu bakar to name some..it's been quite a while since we went there...so due to the fact that i declared to my better half that im on cooking leave that day n considering the fact that hubby hates malls specially during wkends.. that place cross my mind..

n we got to kill 2 birds with one stone (me actually..hubby was not aware at all till we were there..hehehhe) TIMES was having warehouse book sale...it was quite massive as it had rows n rows of books on sale..however best sellers only had 30% discounts...

But the best part is they had a section 3 books for RM10.00 soo we went crazy...(hheheh me n my brother only) ..

This is the photo of our catch that day..we bought all the above for RM149.85....i was sooo happy...hihi so if ur a bookworm... y not check it out..if im not mistaken its still on until the 18th Jan...

(p/s : i even bought 2 story books for my helper aka maid...heheh Cinta Lapan Segi n ntah wat was the other title...)

After that we had dessert at dessert bar....they also had a promotion... 50% on all items on the menu......so wat do u expect..we had a vast dessert galore...best..best this one also until 18th..so gurls y not hav a get together one of these days..n indulge..they have sandwiches n quick meals l...i couldn't resist the fondue n it was only RM11.00 after discount...

We left plaza Damas feeling happy..we were there for like almost 5hrs but we only paid RM1 for parking plus hubby was ok n not that cranky n all..mybe bcoz the place was really laid back n relaxing...

My frustrations....

2009-01-06T13:03:00.007+08:00

Life at work has been very hectic lately n it has disrupted my booze to pump which effects my milk supply...but alhamdulillah i still managed to get 12 oz of EBM throughout the day for harris 's intake..however after much concern that my son mite not be getting enough milk..and as discussed with his paed..we decide to introduce a bottle of formula milk a day..which actually breaks my heart..(im sure exclusive bfeeding mothers know the feeling... im not saying that formula milk is not good enough)..as i was a result of formula milk n yes i managed to go to Uni n
all..but after much research, readings n discussion the iconic phrase we could conclude is the best gift that a mother can give her child is by breastfeeding them as it is complete for their physical and mental development....in actual fact in the Quran says...bfeed our child for atleast 2 years..but being a working mother in a not sooo encouriging environment i find it hard...ive pumped in the toilet..(yup its yucky but i always think positive that god knows of my intention)..ive heard sneers..had the look from others wen i carry a cool box on course..hav people talked about me...arghh...the perception that people give wen ur just trying do wats best. .ive embraced them all...there were numerous times that i cry alone because nobody would understand..i do vent my frustration to my better half but there comes a point that he's a guy..his level of understanding on this matter is not in depths..n soo the thoughts r better placed in my head.....i guess these r the challenges that god wants me to face..in hope that one day it will all be worth it... ...

I never knew that i could manage exclusive breastfeeding for a year at least..before having harris i always thought.. id bfeed harris for atleast the first six months..had i known.... i wud have prepared myself earlier..n i.. like many stumbled upon experiences n gathered our knowledge thru books n dr. google..i thank n owe it to harris previous babysitter..makcik normah for encouraging me..without her i don't think i could ever have done it...

The guilt feeling of having to supplement hits beyond my deepest core..even if its just a bottle a day..call me paranoid..vain or watever..but it is a feeling that is hard to describe..i remember watching wardina being interviewed the other day on a baby show hosted by Daphne Iking n i quote "if u knew the benefits that bfeeding gives to ur child..u wud never want to touch formula...."..n though i dare not tell others in that way..but there is truth to what she claims...

My youngest brother was a product of exclusive bfeeding until 2 years..n for those who know him can straightly highlight the differences between him from me n imran..we're different in terms of empathy, stubbornness..n mb intelligence...mmg a lot of people wud say "sejuk perut mak mengandungkan idris" he has never created major drama nor hav i seen my mom been worried over him unlike me the drama queen or my 1st brother...

I really feel that the govt should really encourage breastfeeding n make it an act or something n that breastfeeding circle is cared for..we don't need to be treated as queens but sufficient enough that proper arrangements can be made in the office like having a breastfeeding room n most importantly understand that we need to pump frequently to ensure our milk supply sustains..after all it will benefit the employer by having their staff at bay n not always on MC or EL mode...to date alhamdulillah i only had to take one EL due to harris diarrhea n we referred him to SJMC..but other than that his fever n all cud be treated n not come to state of worrying....

Im just trying to give my son the best..like all of the mothers out there. n .maybe if u feel formula is the best option n it works for your child..it doesn't matter...but wen i face challenges from the outer circle it crushes me..because i will not do anything that will not be beneficial towards him...i know one fine day i will have to completely wean him..n i will dread that day..the bond that we share is what I'll carry with me as i know that from that day..comes the partial separation of a mother with her child..he will not need me as much..ill miss his cheeks againts my skin..his little hand playing with my shirt...ill miss that n for what its worth to harris... mama's sorry..i tried ever so hard to give u more..but i have to work n my working environment is not that encouraging..

And as i read n read about the fact that my baby mite not be getting adequate milk..i came across this ...most of the article i read states that by 18 months a child needs to be wean off from the bottle n be given milk from a cup...formula should be replaced by whole milk to ensure a balance diet n while most parents opt giving their child milk to replace his meal intakes because the child refuses to drink..it actually does more harm to toddlers/infants as it can lead to iron deficiency...

taken from http://kidshealth.org/parent/nutrition_fit/nutrition/feed12yr.html

Iron Intake

It's important to watch out for iron deficiency after kids reaches 1 year of age. It can affect their physical, mental, and behavioral development, and also can lead to anemia.

To help prevent iron deficiency:

Limit your child's milk intake to 16 to 24 full ounces (480-720 milliliters) a day.
Increase iron-rich foods in your child's diet, like iron-fortified snacks, meat, poultry, fish, beans, and tofu.
Continue serving iron-fortified cereal until your child is 18 to 24 months old.

So watch out coz u don't feed on demand milk after the age of one n milk is to supplement his growth..but not to be treated as primary food...

Im sure u guys have 101 percetion..assumtions..comments on this issue specially those with children..so before i ur M16 hits me..just take note that this is what i gathered from my reading..observation..discussion with paed n lactation consultants..i don't simply pluck these ideas from the sky...

Happy New Year...

2008-12-31T11:13:00.006+08:00

As the curtain falls for 2008...i look back at wat ive accomplished..sadly not much..oni hop jobs but suffice to say its just a job..it does not make me wake up everyday feeling energetic..im still harbored at the depressing routine of having to attend to things.. so that i see a certain amount in my account by pay day...im stuck..Damn it!! y cant i be a personal shopper..(bcoz my mom won't let me of course.huhu) within 5 years time..i hope i will be on the rite track..pouring my heart out on something that i love doing..n earning $ with it...(but i still have to find that ("THING TO DO")...the only thing that kept me going last year was my bundle of joy...n the love of my life..

I hope better things will come our way..insyallah..hope there'll be oppertunities to travel..(better pay check from my better half..*wink..*wink)..that my family immediate n extended will be blessed n guarded by Allah Almighty..I hope that i will learn to love my job..(if i don't i hope my parents will understand)

Of the hopes that better things will be in store for the future..i als0 hope that God will guide me n my family to be a better muslim...n try not to be soo indulge in this material world..i hope that evil will not blind me for wats in store in this temporary place so that i can accomodate some time for our after life...n i really really hope my afterlife will be with my loved ones...afterall wat is the value of life if not to be happy...n happiness to me is to be surrounded by the people that i love in hope that they will also love me in the same way...

Lastly to my dear friends..i hope ur wishes come true n that our frenship will be stronger than ever...may Allah bless you guys n family....

Holiday Mood.............

2008-12-24T11:51:00.002+08:00

Off late my workload is not giving me break..im soo in a holiday moood rite now..I just wish that i cud be doing something i love more....(read conflict of interest) but one thing that keeps my sanity is this little human being that gets me going each passing day...

He's really cheeky..i just love wen he giggles..but im a bit worried that he's almost 13 months but has still yet to walk.he can walk if i hold only one of his hand..n he loves to lean on things but still seem very afraid to let go....a few friends hav mentioned to use a walker..but reason being is that i came across a few article that a walker actually causes more harm in a sense that it only strengthens the lower part of the leg n not the upper..n is accidents prone specially for those living in small spaces like me..my cousin fell from his walker which cause a permanent mark on his face..so that is why i refuse to use the walker..no offense to anyone..juts that i don't feel good about it..n I believe that we should follow our feelings (provided that its backed by facts..refer to this) rather than following wat others do..just my 2 cents..after all if anythg happens its u who deal with it..

Ill be going back to JB (read: ikan bakar, ice kacang, mee rebus, yong tau foo, rojak asma) tomorrow but don't think ill stay that long after JB will b MUAR to visit my grandma..i miss her n she's not well..Shes 85 this year..n osteoporosis is catching up on her i really hopes she gets well soon....On another note I think I mite checkout Pyramid today with my bam bam...since we haven't been to any malls for this festive season..(hopefully i get the green lite form the SE in TDC...hihi..

So to u guys..have a happy holiday n merry Christmas to those celebrating..I miss Christmas in UK..boxing day even more..(shopping galore)..hihi

LIPSTICK JUNGLE

2008-12-17T14:38:00.002+08:00

I finished watching Season 1 of Lipstick Jungle the other day..n I loved it..D Executive producer is no other than Candace Bushnell...bravo to her..I love her work..there's actually a lipstick jungle book..which im aiming to get my hands on..(or hoping that someone mite be kind enuff to buy for me..*wink.wink)

Lipstick Jungle to me is a diversion of SATC...more power more career oriented but nonetheless entertaining with the scandals n all...an i admire their wardrobe..fantastic compared to SATC..im more a conservative all plain minus frills wen it comes to playing dress up..I love Lindsay Price..I think she is sooo pwetty...n her characters sense of style is....awwww...ok so u get me..im not on the SJP train wen it comes to sense of style...

But anyway gurls..if u have time watch it... the first season only has 7 episodes..n my SIL says it was aired on Astro but im not so sure..i just prefer watching TV series on DVD as theres no commercial n u can pause ..rewind..resume..(ok so u get it...) i have the DVD but my SIL has book to see it..so if anyone is interested do let me know..i charge RM10 per DVD per day..hahah no only joking...

Btw..i forgot to mention Brooke Shields is oso in it..but shes no longer stunning as she used to be..she has aged..n so hav we..sigh...

So thumbs up for this TV series from me...

Updates...

2008-11-26T08:09:00.004+08:00

ok..i wish to update..but the thing is nothing really pumps up my blog adrenaline now.. everything is soo monotonous...i have S**it load of work to be done..lets just leave it as that..

On the brighter side of things..My padawan will be ONE the 4th...oh my..how time flies..n his not a baby anymore...althou im living in denial as Im soo used to calling him "Baby..hav u eaten..u want susu..Baby nak sleep?..." yes ur mama is still hoping u wont grow up soo fast..I clearly remembered the stressfull phone calls to my buddies asking? "does this constant crying ever stop??" "do they nurse like every hour???" hehhehhe..gone r those days..n to those expecting thier first..The answers are "YES..gradually the constant crying n making u feel u wanna hurl up n just die in the closet will go away..."

Insyallah if #2 comes..(Which is not in the near future..so don't get all hype ok..I still have my Pregnancy weight..duh!!) Ill be better prepared..heheh..

N with his age turning 1, alhamdulillah..I will pass the one year mark of exclusively Breastfeeding my son..EXCEPT for twice the time I had to be away on a course..which till now I feel the guilt of having to supplement him due to my dumbness in not stocking my EBM during my confinement days..(thats wat u call cetek ilmu..hehhe) Im not here to boast or any of the sort..but its a life achievement for me..the best gift I can give my son..hopefully it will be of use in future....

There will be no major celebrations for my padawan..because I dont think its necessary..afterall what does he know about birthdays..but i'll definately buy a cake for fun to mark the day..(to those who do celebrate thier childs one year old birthday..pls don't get offended...me n hubby just feel that a party wont be necessary for now but i respect other ppls reason in having one..)

On the 8th..it'll be our anniversery...our 2nd..ye..baru 2 years married...n it falls spot on Raya Haji..a dual celebration..last year I was in my 4th day of Confinement..so I guess no romantic dinner of the sort..probably go to sembahyang Raya sama2..romantic gak tu...for those who know my man personally will know Romantic does not exist in his vocabulory...but im not complaing..but like the song Im soo into rite now...Im LUCKY to be with him...

Mama work..harris play..

2008-11-13T22:38:00.008+08:00

Had to attend a course on Contract Administration last Sunday at TBR..luckily they allocated room for the Executive levels n above so i cud bring bam bam..if not i wud hav declined going..

It was a 3 days 3 nights course n there were classes at nite too...so basically not much pleasure time...but in between manage to bring bambam swimming..his first...althou he was a bit reluctant at first to be in the water..but he became more relax the next day..

My review on TIARA BEACH RESORT :

Its quite a comfortable place to be..the rooms are quite generous in terms of the space..the perks is that they have a huge swimming pool...aka waterpark...so thou they have numerous blocks of studio apartments..there's still room for everyone in the pool...the food was ok..not to say marvellous or splendid..but ok..edible.. the downside of it is that the resort was far**in far from PD town...20KM away ok...n the nearest petrol station was 10 km away...that was the the real downside of it..i had to drive 20km to n fro everyday to buy my maids dinner..hotel food was a bit on the expensive side..RM10 for nasi ayam..

To sum it up..if ur on a middle class budget..this is a place for u guys...

TBR has even got a kids playroom..n harris loved playing in it...

I think bambam really enjoyed the place as every opportunity i had to go back n check on him..he was asleep..both of them (my maid n bambam) kept dozing off..waah vacation betul derang ni..bambam even slept early everynite..930pm gone...very unlikely at home..normally he wud be cranky n want me to BF him first..here...he cud just doze off..magic...heheh

I sure hope hubby cud join us next time..we missed him while we were there...

2008-11-04T12:31:00.006+08:00

Several friends have requested for my triffle reciepe...not that im a great cook or what but since one of my friend came yesterday asking me to assist her in preparing it..n i promised another friend id blog it up..so here goes..it is the simplest easiest yummy dessert for u guys to try...I hav to give credit to my aunt who gave me the recipe... i just love how simple it is plus its soo heavenly nice..hehhe

Fruit Cocktail - 1 tin
Evaporated Milk (i usually use Ideal) - 1 tin
Water - 1.5 tin

Custard (Birds) - 2.5/3 tablespoon

Whipped Cream -1 small box

.........................................................................................................................................................................

1. Cut n lay the swiss roll on the base of the serving dish

2. Cook the jelly n let it cool down for 5 minutes.. then pour on top of the swiss roll layer (don't worry if ur swiss roll starts to get soggy..it's meant to be that way..)

3. For the custard..mix 1 tin of evaporated milk + 1.5 tin of water + 3-4 tablespoon sugar+2.5 tablespoon of custard.. cook the mixture..make sure u keep stirring till it boils...

4. Layer the fruit cocktail on top of the jelly...then after the custard has cooled off a bit (in abt 10 minutes) pour on top of fruit cocktail..

5. Done..it should look like this...u can put in the fridge..but pls let it cool of for at least 20 minutes...

6. For the xtra umph...whip some whipped cream n layer on top of it before serving...

p/s : This is my equation of a tablespoon..and the one i did for my friend was for a big group of ppl..but my ingredients r for 5-6 ppl...

My DIGI man..(can u believe that this sleepsuit oni cost RM7..best best..hehe)

My dear padawan had a fever the next morning...so i asked my maid to monitor the guy's tempreture...upon arriving home...i saw my padawan in his new yellow sleep suit..he looked just ike the DIGI-man...he was soo cute..(to me lah)..thou his tempreture was quite high 39.0.. i decided to visit our GP...verdict: mite be he's teething...

Apparently the next day his temperature stayed within the range of 38.3-39.0 it rose to 39.9 by nite..i was praying for the 6 hours interval to past quickly as the GP told me that u need to wait till 6 hrs before u can give him the butt medication after the oral medication..(n oni once within 24 hours)..after numerous attempts the capsule went in..n i took him to our room..full blasted the aircond...n oso sponge my padawan..stuck kool-fever on his head..then oni the temperature started gowing down..my parents (who was at my place) kept saying ..no need to panic..they said harris looked fine..but of course i panic..he's never had a high fever n the basic rule i learned is that for kids 6 months and above if the tempreture reaches 39.4 we should make it go down fast..alhamdulillah next day..his fever vanished..but i made him stay at home n didn't bring him anywhere for the fear that the heat n open hse activity wud trigger the fever back..

So on Monday..it was back to open hse..n this time at my uncles in Bkt Jelutong..thot it was oni for close frens n relative..didn't know he invited 1k++ gust..mcm kenduri kawin..hahha there were numerous stalls..even mee rebus baidali was there..n because i took care of my darling padawan..i ended up getting a bad flu...n its still with me..huhuhu

2008-10-15T09:36:00.004+08:00

Ok..I wanna update..but as usual am tooo lazy plus finding bloghopping more enticing...i guess its human nature that we always complain about our life..not exciting..no money..endless workload..piling chores...having unsatidfied material needs ...LV..FENDI...PRADA..HERMES..TODS?? wher r u in my wardrobe? others hav u..while I don't..sigh..sigh..sigh..and as a normal human being oso we always tend to compare with the likes of us..or those who have more than us rather than those who think owning a BONIA is something... mind u..don't be offended when i say BONIA..BONIA is an expensive brand nowadays..u can easily see RM700 on thier price tags.. n my mom has a couple of BONIA bags.. just that the dotter loves to eye for more exorbitant labels..konon more exquisite la the design..and the mother n fatherr debt free while the dotter is ..well lets not get into that subject.. in simple words..how i wish i could follow in her footsteps on this.. ni not like mother like dotter..

A friend of mine mention the other day..the not soo best part of acquiring designer handbags is the fact that even Liz Clairborne (LC) seems unappealing anymore...she used to love LC..well to my dear fren.. u hit that note rite..I myself used to love LC's design..(LC..hehe is oso my wedding caterer..haha setapp!!!!(out of context jap)) the designs r nice n the price is soo affordable..same goes wen u start to buy jewellary at SELBRAN (ni my case lah)..the Poh Kong..TOMEI n gang all hav the same fate e as LC..where as..they sell nice jewellary too..duh!! It's hard wen u set a standard for urself..I went into JEDAN at PKNS yesterday browsing thru their baju kurung..I fell in love with a few of thier designs..price tag RM18**!!! ...can u imagine if we start buying our baju kurung at that price tag?? maybe u guys tak lah kot..but me..nanti yg RM200 Baju kurung will seem all plain..thank god I brought my sanity along... I still wear the below RM50 baju kurung to work n it does not bother me if ppl say its cheap..im still comfortable in it.. I wear pass down clothes..my MIL gave me a lot of her clothes that she cud not fit in..n im ok with it..on that part..Im still ok..alhamdulillah..the only part that I wish I could churn back is the obsession on designer handbasg n jewellary.. Im still ok with cheap shoes but,,hehe there's a but..providing that it comes from a reputable brand..i'd anyday buy shoes that cost RM20 from Vincci or the sort rather than RM 20 from.. the xyz label..

i hope that one day if I have a dotter..she will not follow in my footsteps..hope she'd be more like her tok mama in this sense rather than me..im a bad influence..haha these things r heridity...

P/s : just ignore my ramblings..tah hape2..must b PMS....

Kisah Raya dengan sehelai baju kurung hijau

2008-10-08T16:09:00.009+08:00

Before i get to the raya-raya story, i'd like to share with u guys about my Baju Raya story..u know how hard it is to get a good tailor without having to pay a bomb for thier services..apparently my tailor is in JB..n her charges for me had never changed from my secondary school days till now..but the prob is how often do we go back to Jb..n the fact that Im carrying post pregnancy weight does not help at all..I had to alter my baju numerous times..still my recent Baju raya looks 'gedoboh'..mana taknya measure in April..nak pakai Oktober..i'd lost a few kilos along the way...sigh..sigh..anyway nak stroy pasal baju lain..not this one..

I scouted out for a few tailors n ended up at a boutique called Anggun in PKNS...(i have to reveal the name coz sakit hati sgt) i asked bila boleh siap..dia ckp a week before raya..so 2 weeks before i called the tailor...(manalalah tau..my normal tailor normally siapkan baju before time..) so she said.."lum siap lagi..next week siap"... so the last week before raya..i called like 3 or 4 times..she kept meddling with the date...i did tell her..im going back this friday..so she said ok..ok..the last date yang she gave me..ambik after maghrib on friday..(ni pon after ntah brapa kali i called...) so i pon dok question myself..lambat sgt ke aku hantar...when i went there with hubby after maghrib the tailor was not there..so i tanya lah staff yang lain..dgn selambanya ckp.."tak siap lagi lah kak...." (sambil tunjuk..pieces of kain yg baru dipotong...) aku n hubby pon nak naik angin lah..called the tailor she said.."jalan-jalan lah dulu within 45 mins siap" walaupon i did not believe she cud finish it..me n hubby jalan2 lah dulu..then after an hour we came back..betul pon x siap..we waited kat sana until 11pm..PON TAK SIAP..weeezal x yah cita lah dah kuar asap kat telinga..smpai fed up..dia ckp "hantar kat rumah lah..tau tak we all nak balik dah.." dia ngan muka selamba ckp..ok..ok.. Padahal baju yg i hantar buat tu bukan susah mana..mini kurung bukannya suh letak beads ke apa..cuma ada lining je...DIA CHARGED RM150.00 oKKkk!!!!!

So at about 1 ish AM dia called nak hanta baju..sesat lak tu..suh aku amik kat Shell..mintak maaf, weezal kuar g fill up gas n all takdenya aku nak melayan ambik..so last2 dia jumpa pon rumah..bukanya susah sgt...bila jumpa haram sorry pon xde n muka tersengih2..bila i mtk reduction dia kurangkan RM20 je...aku malah nak gaduh so masuk rumah tgk jahitan dia mmg nak menyirap lah ngan cutting x betul n all..imagine 3/4 jam nya kerja nak charge aku RM130...uish mmg tensen..so i texted her the next day ckp ill send the baju back by sunday 5th..dia pon reply ok....come monday 6th aku pon pergilah nak alter..smpai kat kedai TUTUP!!!!!! WTF!!! aku mmg angin lah..ckp lah awal2 ko tutup!!! mghabiskan minyak gua je...try calling her..ntah ulu mana dia dok xde signal lah plak..huish..tahap kesabaran ku yang slalunya indicatornya paling max susah nak jejak dah blow..so smpai la ni tak hantar alter..saturday ni kot..bwk hubby biak dia bebel sket..lakiku kan cengih! Endingnya x pakai pon baju tu..

.........................................................................................................................................................................
Bcoz my entry on my baju raya panjang sgt u guys enjoy lah pics of my raya ye..We raya in JB the first day at my parents..then we went to my in laws..then visit weezal's tok on his mom's side then we scooted off to muar...(yoHoooo!!).. harrs cranky lah during raya..nak melekat aje..tensen gue...hehhe..maybe becoz terkejut tgk banyak sgt new faces kot...

Ramblings on a bored day....

2008-09-24T09:37:00.003+08:00

The urge to blog is there..the entries r like a spreadsheet in my mind, but..im just too lazy..hahhah..with a ew more days of work to go..before the hoildays..(i feel like dancing on the strike of the word holiday!!) lots need to be done..i have to pack..have'nt even made the list of thgs to bring yet...ths year will by my raya turn..(woHoooOOoOO!!!) mom n dad being very understanding has stated that ths year we'll b in JB for the frst half of the day (which means that i can visit my inlaws oso on the first raya) They said..we'll raya in JB dulu, if not u x dpt raya umah ur inlaws or u mite have to make two trips back n forth!!! ....so basically after the prayers n salam-salaman, makan-makan session..camwhoring session...my parents will scoot off to our beloved Kg..Muar..(thou we don't have the kg. atmosphere at maktok's..coz she lives in Muar town..) it's still a kg to me...far from the hustle bustle of the city...we will visit my inlaws..only then balik Muar...(see im very considerate what..hahhaa xdelah raya pertama kat my side je thou its my turn ths year..) * in hope that hubby will be accommodating wen it's his turn..(thou i have to give credit to my parents, mom specially for helping me easen the situation)..i know how she is with first raya not being in muo..specially wen we're not celebrating it with my grandparents on dad's side...(tak penah2 raya kat JB if their not around..thank you mom n dad..love ya!!!). ...albeit the fact that my grandparents on my dad's side won't b in JB ths raya coz celebrating it inKL...

Basically i thk by fourth day of Raya i'll b back in KL..visiting my grandparents n grandparents inlaw (is there such a term??) hehheheh....n my other relatives..best sket coz mom n dad will b around so i just tag along je...

Cita-cita pasal raya...do u know that i have not purchased a single kuih raya yet!! let alone buat...hehhahahahh that's how teruk i am...i plan to do it in JB..(kata rumah dekat ngan angsana..) other than that..i have to collect my baju at the tailor..n yet to find selendang for all my baju...huarggggghhh!!!!! now im realizing that theres soo much to do with soo little time....

On another note..i just got off the phone with my ex-staff...story mory, gossip-gossip about my old company..before we ended the conversation we exchanged hari raya wishes n all then the line was passed to a few of my other staff..all wanting to wish me Selamat Hari Raya...mak terharu u!!!! I miss them....i MISS SPNB....not the workload thou (hahahhhaha) but the environment..been there for almost five years what...heheh so to those in SPNB reading my blog..specially to K.azie, yati,wan,shahril,saiful,sayful,lisa,su and semua budak2 Project Development not forgetting En. Mustaffa Al Bakri Saidin...heheh

SELAMAT HARI RAYA n MAAF ZAHIR BATIN...

Condolences to Didie again on the lost of her beloved father yesterday....(I was informed by rozie on this..so i don't have the details..) AL-FATIHAH

Moga didie tabah menghadapi dugaan yang maha hebat ini....

Kisah maid ku plak....

2008-09-11T08:28:00.004+08:00

In the midst of the maid topic..yesterday i felt like turning into Incredible HULK bcoz of wat my darling maid did...i cooked for buka yesterday..hubby wanted jemput2 udang n for our main course i made spaghetti's carbonara..bcoz most of the ingredients was prepared my my 'darling' maid earlier..i managed to settle evertythg an hour b4 buka...

Come buka...hubby as usual makan jemput2 x hingat..so he did not want his spaghetti till after maghrib..which later became after the news..so just before the news ended i heated my spaghetti's sauce...while stirring i noticed that the sauce has become runny..unlike the way i made it before..before jumping to any conclusion...i checked the sauce again just to make sure...i summoned my 'darling' maid...

moi : L*** kenapa kuah ni jadi cair..kamu letak air ke??
'D' maid : ye kak..td tgk..pekat sgt!!!"
moi : hah!!! napa kamu letak air..saya tahu lah camna rupa dia...mmg sepatutnya pekat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (at this point i was turning into incredible hulk!!!!!!!!)
'D' maid : .................................. (senyap..x tau nak respond apa...)

waduh!!!!!!!! so endingnya hubby terchenta pon x makan banyak...ayat dia lagi best "mushroom soup pon x cair camni!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ish tension nya gue...........dlm dada terbakar2....nasib baik puasa..nilah akibatnya dpt maid yg suka memasak + suka memandai2...waduh!!!!!!!!

Felt like goin on M16 mode...but tak kuasa..so i ended up lepaking with bam-bam n hubby outside..dahlah yesterday the air was like soo still ...

i know most ppl wud say..jgn baik sgt ngan maid..don't let her cook..don't let her do this n that...but sometimes i just cannot find it in my heart to b very2 strict or be very distant...i treat them as a human being n as a domestic help rather than being my maid...in hope that god will see that im trying hard not to manupilate his creation also..i try n try to constantly remind myself that..they r human n entitle to make mistakes..n who am i to judge them as they r equal to us in God's eyes...bcoz of that..i try as much as i can not to scold her in front of anyone..bcoz it could happen to me oso..n how would i feel...God is always fair...n though i try as much as i can... to not let her cook..but sometimes time is not always on my side....so i believe that ALLAH is always there...even though i do every thing perfectly..if its my fate..it will be..thou i hope n pray it won't ...ive been raised by maids since i was very young..but alhamdulillah i was not attached to them..infact one of them r still very close to my family...she looked after me..cooked my food,attended to my whines..braided my hair...

Having a maid makes ur life easier no doubt...the time given is where we can utilise to b a maid,wife partner to our husband..of course our cooking helps the bond go stronger..but i would not say that letting maid cook will make our family haywire...the most important thg in a relationship and bonding of a family is to allocate time for our special ones..to not get stressed over domestic thgs..before having a maid..my life was sooo hectic..as soon as i stepped into my hse..it would be chores..chores..harris..chores..harris...harris..chores..never ending ending chores..i could barely smile..n me n hubby would constantly disagree on the slightest issue..it was tense...maybe bcoz we had a baby n it was our first time..i wouldn't say i could not manage w/o a maid coz i did survive one year plus 7 months of our marriage w/o one..

So basically..just be nice in hope that God will repay our kindness in some way....pray..pray n pray nothg bad will happen to our family...no one would wished to be born a maid..that is why sometimes they r lazy..bcoz at work pon sometimes we have our lazy mode....im not trying to defend them..all im trying to say is that..sometimes we r arrogant in a sense that we see them as low grade..but in God's eyes..we r equal..who knows between them n us..their grades r better than us....imagine our maids waving at us when they enter paradise n we r in the midst of being thrown into hell..hish..mintak dijauhkan..ok now i dah mengarut...time to continue work...

home made popiah..mind the vadeh(is this how u spell it??) brought by mom..hubby likes it soo much that mom always buys it if she's from bangi..

Then we had spaghetti bolegnese..for our main course n finally triffle for dessert...all conjured by me..(yelah..thou there's always the recipe for guidelines...u hav to b a bot more creative to get the edge..heheh) but sorry folks..forgot to snap photos as i was too busy munching....ooh n i forgot to add..i took a solid 5hours to settle all...(i know..i know..LEMBAPnya..hehe im still an amatur in the cooking dept..sigh)

How I wish i could...

2008-08-18T09:23:00.006+08:00

Have u ever been in a position whereby u wish u could slurp back wat u just uttered??....It happened to me recently...in my defense of being unintentionally offended by someone i jolted before i cud even think...That has always been my problem..commencing thgs before thinking...its like my mind works separately from my heart..just like an individual machine that works by itself...as soon as I uttered somethg... it hit me hard that i had offended another party..the party that I least would like to hurt...although i did apologies profously...and matters were resolved..(it wasn't a big deal to the other party..or was it?? ) but i could not get myself to stop brooding over it...it just comes in and out of my mind...In my defense, I did not mean any harm..nor did i intend to make any other party feel any discomfort or have the slightest pinch of offense...i perceive this as my trait of weakness a weakness that i must work on..but i always believe that humans r born imperfect and nobody is perfect..we can paint the town with other ppls mistakes but who r we to judge them..take a mirror n look at ourselves..r we perfect? no one is..the least we could do is to accept the flaw of others as their shortcomings n to bookmark it as somethg that we should avoid... but im here willing to own up to it...n willing to work on it..though im sure there'll b more mistakes that ill encounter along this journey in Allah Al-mightys world...I hope and pray that it won't b a big Gaffe...so to those i might have offended un intentionally im sorry...trust me..maybe it was done unintentionally n hope u can consider the fact that im only human..bound to make mistakes..(cam lagu plak..hahaha)...n pls forsee this as my negative trait...don't we all have some?? unless of course ur miss goody too shoes..who's blind enough to say u never hurt anybody or do thgs that would offend someone...

My dear friend just lost her beloved child last night...Airin Yasmin binti Hisyamuddin...she lost the battle againts her heart problem..I just came back from the funeral...It was sad..soooo sad infact for us..I could'nt control the tears anymore...Didie n Mudon were sooo strong..if I were to loose Harris..i don't know how id cope...God borrowed her to them for almost three years..she seem perfectly normal..i can still visualize her face..she looks a lot like Didie...Losing ur loved ones is never easy however u might be prepared for it...I feel for her...because im a mother too n to loose the smile that makes us melt...the voice that keeps us going is just soo hard...I don't thk i can write anythg more..its too painful...to Didie n Mudon n b strong for K1...n i quote ths from ninie from one of her mails in our SMSJ95 group

"bertuahlah ibu dan ayah, apabila anaknya diangkat/meninggal dunia ketika sebelum waktu balighnya, maka akan disediakan satu taman di dalam taman-taman syurga untuk ibu dan ayahnya..."

Didie.. we're always here for u if u ever get lonely n need someone to talk too...here's a photo of yasmin taken from Didie's friendster page...

AL-FATIHAH

In Loving memories..
Airin Yasmin Hisyamuddin

Specially dedicated to Didie,Mudon & K1

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters,
brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause
we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me alive
I didn't know why I didn't show sometimes
On several mornings and "I miss you"
but we never talk to
All them grown full things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

[ Chorus ]
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
"I wish I could try not to cry"
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I'll give the world to see your face
And I'm bragging right next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye
(Bye Bye [ 3x ] ) Bye bye

And you never got the chance to
see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to
me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
you can make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

[ Chorus ]
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
"I wish I could try not to cry"
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I'll give the world to see your face
And I'm bragging right next to you (?)
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye
(bye bye bye bye bye bye [ 3x ] ) Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters,
brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmother
Lift your head to the sky 'cause
we will never say bye

[ Chorus ]
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
"I wish I could find a way try not to cry"
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I'll give the world to see your face
And I'm bragging right next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye
(bye bye bye bye bye bye)bye bye

Points to ponder...

2008-08-08T16:38:00.002+08:00

Kisah Rasulullah sebagai pengajaran

1) Kalau ada pakaian yang koyak, Rasulullah menampalnya sendiri tanpa perlu menyuruh isterinya. Beliau juga memerah susu kambing untuk keperluan keluarga mahupun untuk dijual.

2) Setiap kali pulang ke rumah, bila dilihat tiada makanan yang sudah siap di masak untuk dimakan, sambil tersenyum baginda menyinsing lengan bajunya untuk membantu isterinya di dapur. Sayidatina 'Aisyah menceritakan "Kalau Nabi berada di rumah, beliau selalu membantu urusan rumahtangga.

3) Jika mendengar azan, beliau cepat-cepat berangkat ke masjid, dan cepat-cepat pula kembali sesudah selesai sembahyang."

4) Pernah baginda pulang pada waktu pagi. Tentulah baginda amat lapar waktu itu. Tetapi dilihatnya tiada apa pun yang ada untuk sarapan. Yang mentah pun tidak ada kerana Sayidatina 'Aisyah belum ke pasar. Maka Nabi bertanya, "Belum ada sarapan ya Khumaira?"
(Khumaira adalah panggilan mesra untuk Sayidatina 'Aisyah yang bererti 'Wahai yang kemerah-merahan') Aisyah menjawab dengan agak serba salah, "Belum ada apa-apa wahai Rasulullah." Rasulullah lantas berkata, "Jika begitu aku puasa saja hari ini." tanpa sedikit
tergambar rasa kesal di wajahnya.

5) Sebaliknya baginda sangat marah tatkala melihat seorang suami memukul isterinya. Rasulullah menegur, "Mengapa engkau memukul isterimu?" Lantas soalan itu dijawab dengan agak gementar, "Isteriku sangat keras kepala. Sudah diberi nasihat dia tetap degil, jadi
aku pukul dia." "Aku tidak bertanya alasanmu," sahut Nabi s. a. w. "Aku menanyakan mengapa engkau memukul teman tidurmu dan ibu kepada anak-anakmu?"

6) Pernah baginda bersabda, "sebaik-baik lelaki adalah yang paling baik dan lemah lembut terhadap isterinya." Prihatin, sabar dan tawadhuknya baginda dalam menjadi ketua keluarga langsung tidak sedikitpun menjejaskan kedudukannya sebagai pemimpin umat.

meeting up in the hills..

2008-07-14T11:59:00.006+08:00

I absouloutly love this photo..

I had a meeting last Friday..in Cameron Higlands..n b4 u all make judgements..it is a meeting related to the well being off Cameron..not any other meeting purposely held in Cameron for the benefit of others..it was held in MARDi btw..have to clarify this now in the state of kempen berbelanja secara Berhemah!!, yelah..who knows any tom,dick n harry could claim Govt meetings are still held in Hotels or tourist spots...

So hubby took a AL on Friday to be my driver for the day..I couldnt even imagine driving there..I am well aware that i get hilly drive sickness (is there such a term!!! heheh)..we opted to use the Simpang Pulai route...vs the tapah..as through my studies (dr google) they say simpang pulai's route is better...

Verdict: better definately but still i was dizzy when I reached the hotel...maybe bcoz all the way to the top it was raining...but thank god Harris behaved..he slept until we almost reached Brinchang..

We stayed a Strawberry Park..nothing to shout about..the hotel seems a bit run down..though it as clean..i really hoped they'd changed the bed sheets..i think they've been using them over n over for years..but other than that id give them 3 star...we stayed at the Tiago apartment..

My meeting was on friday morning..settled lunch time..so was able to jalan2..ooh b4 that..here r the pictures taken at strawberry park n believe me these r the only photo's of us that we took there...haha...

moi n harris

hubby n harris

harris x sabo nak jalan..

US again

the love of my life..

Basically we did'nt much go to the tourist parks..ie strawberry,tea,rose..but we did a little shopping..i went GA GA over the flower plants..i'll try upload the photo's tommorow..it was damn cheap..we did buy strawberrys but m'sian strawberry masam manis..unlike those in Uk..but nevertheless..Malaysia Boleh!! hahaha atleast ada lah strawberry..hehe

So after that a lot of pit stops to the roadside stall we made way downhill back to Simpang Pulai n on route to my aunts in Batu gajah...the journey downhill was much better..no dizziness...i would root that u guys take the Simpang pulai route for a much pleasent journey..heheh

All in all it was a nice break for us..though it was short but it really made us unwind...so now im planning for my next short trip..hhheheheeh

In 25ish years time....

2008-07-08T08:47:00.004+08:00

Last weekend while driving around USJ..moi n hubby had ths little talk

Moi : Syg..do u think that we we will still reside here wen we retire?
Hubby : Entahlah shyg..yg penting...when we retire i'll still b with u..itu yg penting...

Ok don't throw up just yet...yeah im well aware that men can be sweet talkers...but it was a nice thought..specially wen it came out of the blue...a response that I did not expect..and it came from my better half...I really hope n pray that wen i retire we'll still b together weathering any storm..n i hope that wen i close my eyes for good..he'll be the one I'll get to spend my afterlife with..though sometimes i do wish i could strangle him to death..(pun..intended) and there r times n im sure there's more to come..... wen i just wish i could hang myself...(hehehe) but yeah..when i retire...I wanna spend my days with my beloved..wherever that may be...

Im sorry...

2008-06-27T14:40:00.006+08:00

Im never good at goodbyes or breaking uncomfortable news to anyone...yet in life these things sometimes seem unavoidable...how i wish thgs could have been easier and better for all parties involved...at ths present moment..i feel soo low..so sad..so so sad...it doesn't hurt me..but it touches me deep within...yeah..life is about choices..n obstacles that we have to face at not our given time..how I wish it wasn't now...back then when there was not a single option to weigh..God Almighty shed some lite..n there rite in front of us was the way..the only way..but it was a good way..the path it took us was very comfortable to me..of course there were a few minor glitches but that's normal..we r all human n we r bound to make mistakes..

I wish i could prolong this..i didn't expect it too be soo soon..i felt like i was betraying...i kept assuring yet i still did it..how i wish i could make it better....Im just a follower..I cannot command the decision...It wasn't my call..yeah it was discussed..I truly understand the point why we arrived at this junction..it was for OUR best interest..i do agree in certain ways..n given the consequences that it does not add up to single cent burden to us..makes it a harder to avoid..

No ths is not a blaming post..nor indicated to anyone..its just a voice from within..trying to come to terms with it..tear after tear thinking about it..praying its for the best n praying that ths decision will benefit more for the one...Im sorry..Im sooo sorry..just thinking about it makes me cry...Im sooooo sorry..for taking away..i understand how u feel..i trully do...i wish it wasn't me who hurted u..i am the last person who wants to do this to u..U have been kind..U treated Well..thank you..thank you..thank you..I hope itll be a better journey for u...n as they say andai ada jodoh...kembali lah kita...i hav no regrets n i highly appreciate u..thank you again..n sorry...

BIG BIRD...

2008-06-25T08:44:00.008+08:00

I forced myself to weigh myself ths morning...after a feast of makan-makan last week..can u imagine from eating Bangok Kitchen, to Sri Ayutthaya and ended last weeks weekday with dinner at LA La Chong..courtesy of Lady Q so u cud imagine my gerun ness nak tip the scale... So in the wee hours of the morning I rubbed my eyes again n again..kot i was day dreaming..I lost another KG...HELLUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! happy nya felt like dancing..ngeh ngeh ngeh... I lost 1 kg on 11th june now in another in a fortnight!!! i dunno if ot was the breastfeeding or the corset..whatever..as long as it keeps doing it..im happy..*thou i thk its the BF..currently in the office I've been pumping like there's no tommorow..stopping only for a few intervals..i don't go to the pump every 2 hours norm anymore..i just pump n pump..result = i can get 15-16OZ from 9am to 5pm..i know to some that's not very impressive but its a big deal to me... so as a result of my constant pumping session ive been hungry..n real hungry.. been munching on biscuits to satisfy my tummy...

Why is losing weight making woman all over the world so paranoid???..well for me it means a lot..Y bcoz I'm tall n not many Malaysian female hav the same height range as i..i hav broad shoulders..thanks for the swimming sessions during primary days...n i also have Big Br**T.. which again is not an average to most malaysian.. so in our society Im considered BIG..BESAR bla..bla..bla whatever..It use to irratate me BIG TIME..i wish i could just shout at the person n say "Hey my BMI is below average!! is urs??? just because I have Bib B**St n have broad shoulders n hav the height u see me as a huge GIANT or what!!!" at present my BMI is 21.63 if i can reach my goal weight (like my pre marriage days....) my BMI wud be 19.84 n still they'd b ppl telling me Im BIG... ooh another thg that irritates me is that wen ppl say "u hav to watch ur weight wen ur preganant..if not ull balooon up..!!! hey..as if I don't know..n so what IF i do..r u going to pay for my slimming treatment???? I was considered average in my primary days back in Nottingham..i wasn't towering over anybody n It felt good..just that here in malaysia I feel like an ostrich sometimes..a BIG OSTRICH...or better still BIG BIRD...

Not that im arrogant or what..or that i cannot take any comments..its just that..be a bit sensitive to ppl..sometimes they already know..u don't have to shove dettol to their wounds..maybe they had a bad day..n by giving these ppl comments that u know mite offend them...is not nice.. don't get me wrong..no one over the past few weeks has gaven negative comments on my weight.. it just triggered me to write an entry on this as I for one hav been thru the yo yo weight..ive been plump..i mean plump during my secondary days..but Ive had my days of being slender too...at one time my weight was only 53Kg.. but i looked like a skeleton..Im thankful thou I have huge Br**St I dont have a wide or BIG BUTT..(C God almighty is fair)..my mom n only aunt is tall...my mom is super duper slim..my aunt..has excess flab here n there..but u will not say she's fat..coz she has the height so looking at both my precedent..Id say I mite end up in between..as of now..Im starting my days with Milo+oat for breakfast...so that i don't have to eat anythg heavy..n hope it wud soak my cholestrol as they claim it do...(quaker oat)..

I wear a size M on most of my attire, UK size 10..i have to opt for L on my slacks n trousers due to my height n i can now fit back in my wedding dress..its somethg to me..I know it'll b a long long journey to get a fab abs or it mite not even be firm anymore..the same goes to my Bre**t...im sure they'll never get back to its original form.. but its ok..its a sacrifice for my husband n most importantly my son..i hope one fine day they'll appreciate it...

Again I wisht to stress out..this is just an entry..a long due entry..no one in the past weeks have offended me on this weight issue..I just wish to share with u guys my feelings on this weight issue...

The first....

2008-06-18T09:25:00.004+08:00

Harris was down wif fever last wednesday... after picking him up from his bbsitter..i thot it was just a mild one ..but wen i checked OMG!!! .his tempreture was above 38 Celcius..so off i went to the my GP near our hse..so the doc said..yeah..he has a slight fever..somehow the thermometer at the clinic read 37.8C...at 4am the following morning..his temperature rose again..so i decided..im gonna c his pead at SJMC..paid or not..(coz harris has never been sick since birth..so ths was the first panic attack i had..(hehe..x lah panic gila..but blur lah gak..)

So i called ING the first thg in the morning..they said can b covered..but the process leceh..so I resorted for the easiest way..PAY FIRTS..REIMBURSE later..so went to the GP again..ask for reffereal to SJMC..then went to SJMC coz i have already booked an appointment earlier..Harris was ok..but seem a bit weak..he had developed diarrhea.. hubby was working so I had to settle this all alone..thank god for MIL maid..(she's helping out at my place..but going back with FIL tommorow) !!! i could'nt imagine going thru the kiosk alone...SJMC parking was a mess as there were building a new parking complex..so i resorted to valet..as It was faster n nearer..if not have to walk for miles!!!

Met Dr. Ali (yes kay..Dr. Ali...hahahhahaha (kay n i stumbled upon harris paed at mothercare just recently..he was with his wife..n we had the shock of our lives..heheheheh) but anyway he immediately recognized me..(how could he not....) I briefed him..n immediately he said..food poisoning...due to mismanagement of bottles..most likely at his bbsitter..fever due to diarrhea...so he just asked me to look out if harris vomits..if so bring him in..but if not..should be ok..

So i have been on standby mode ever since...his diarrhea has subsided..althou there r still a number of bowel movements..I forgot to ask Dr. Ali..how long will diarrhea last..thank god for Dr. Google..hehhe apparently diarrhea in children last a bit longer than adults..but no more than two weeks..as of yesterday harris had one major bowel movement n 2 very minor..so i guess hes recovering..n is active as ever..his fever has gone..thank god...n no vommiting at all..im taking that as a good sign..

So that was my first major panic period with harris..after 6.5 months..phew..well as they say..there's always a first time...

..........................................................................................................................................................................

On another note..thank GOD my team made it thru to the semi's..I miss TOTTI thou...wish he'd still play for the Azzuri...huhu..im unable to watch due to my padawan..but my heart goes to them...

P/s: my parents will b going to Portugal n Spain end of ths week..dad has a conference or watsoever..wat should i kirim??? can't thk of anythg that cud wud be cheap there..any ideas??

The multiple story n ad

2008-06-11T11:50:00.006+08:00

I lost Weight..HURRAH..have tons more to go..but I lost 5 Kilos in 6Months..not bad..hail BF n CORSETS....The CORSET cost me a BOMB thou i know the price should be atleast half of the market price if not lower....but hell IT WORKS..n its a lifetime investment that can b paid in 2Years...I am not a person who can replace my meals with other stuff..I cannot b trusted in going to the gym religiously so I opted for the easiest method in to burn my stubborn kilos..which is using a corset..of course it was SoOOOO menyeksakan at first..but after a week i got used to it..n now..it doesn't even bother me....hehehe wats more im losing my pounds w/o having to starve...To b honest i don't support any MLM products because i know they cost u more than the normal item..but this corset is exceptional as it really snugs..but pls..pls..pls don't be fooled by the infra red stuff they claim...my husband had a fit laughing about this infra red stuff...heheheh but i believe losing weight thru corset works just like the way a ring impacts the area u wear it on a finger..if u constantly wear ur ring on that particular finger..that area will b a bit more smaller compared to the rest of the finger..so i guess the theory works for our body as well..(this is my theory only..heheh)

But i I still have kilos to shoot..n when is my B**ST ever going to decrease in size...tension...

P/s I lost weight 1kg..yeah!!!! but tons more to go

56 to 58.......

2008-05-13T12:17:00.005+08:00

My dad was to retire ths coming 14 August...initially he will still be working for UTM but on contract basis (that's the benefit of being an academician...ur service grows with ur age unlike other professions...after 56 ur expertise goes down the hill..(Read: they don't need u anymore)

Being on a contract basis..will entitle my dad to get his pension + his normal pay including all the hobbits of allowances (sgt best!!) it seems ur actuallygonna get 1.5 more of ur pay..but actually NO..just slightly more..(gomen pandai..xkan nak bayar gaji lebeh2..so they'll cut here n there lah..so basically he'll get a fraction more lah..)

But all that took a huge turn last weekend when Pak Lah announced that the mandatory retirement age for Civil Servants will be extended to 58 effective 1st July 2008...so kapush!!! ..my dad does not have to retire afterall...still good n kicking in service..thou he won't get the xtra out of contract but i believe its ok..afterall all he's debt free now...n Im happy (ths part my hubby x suka..hehhehe) Y bcoz being the only daughter im still my father's little gurl ...only now my dad could spend a little more on us..after all the hard work..in a way i know he couldn't give me a lot wen i was still his responsibility( althou i did'nt face hardship thruot...just that luxury was not an option)...now that he can...Im married with a child...so I guess in a way he still helps me out thou i never ask...he would all of a sudden give me $$..or pay for somethg....heheh its nice to hav daddy's help once in a while..

So in other words Im benefiting now that the retirement age has been extended...n it applies to me too..thou i hope i don't hav to slog myself to work till Im 58..heheheh

Dear papa

2008-05-09T15:14:00.005+08:00

Eversince u started ur new job u never pick me up anymore..i only see u late at nite...it's usually ur face first thing in the morning..n its usually u who picks me up from nenek..now its either uncle im or mama...ur hardly at home to bring me out for my evening walks...

mama has her hands full..she never stops working from the second she reaches home till very-very late at nite..

Papa, do u know that im teething? that's y ive been very-very fussy..especially late at night..thou i know u sometimes do take care of me during the wee hours of the morning...its mama who i see the most...

Im not complaining neither is mama, we know ur doing this for us..its just that its such a rapid transition..from u being regularly around us to minimal existence...mama also just shifted jobs but her routine seems the same...just hope that u can work ur way around ur tite schedule to be with us more...

Im growing papa..if ur away most of the time..u'll miss every milestone i reach...n u can't turn the clock..i do not intend to make mama suffer when i feel pain...i know mama is sooo tired..taking care of her work, me the hsehold chores...but i need her..

Papa: we just hope u can be with us more like usual n this will be just a period that will pass...

We love u papa

2008-05-06T09:21:00.008+08:00

I heart my SIL..she gave me this last weekend

i think it's for my birthday preSent..(im saying ths bcoz she just gave it to me..so assuming my bday was last week ths is the gift lah..heheh).. I once mentioned that I wanted to get ths book...Y? bcoz I THINK (read: Ive yet to hav the luxury to be indulge in it!!) I can relate to her..I saw Teri on Oprah a while back...she spoke about ths book in which she stated that she went thru a LOT of ups and downs in her life..she seemed very pure and sincere (she did'nt even mentioned about being a glam figure) not like other celebrities who writes a biography or even a book for the $$$ involved in it...the plus factor of all of this, is the fact that Teri is a close morph of her character in Desperate Housewives..A Blur n clumsy housewife, who TRIES HARD to make things rite..which is soo ME...I really..really hope this book won't dissapoint me..I'll blog about it wen I've finished..n harris Only aunt oso gave me the Damier Canvas Key and Change holder...I loikee...thank you..just the rite color..I lurve bags in white/ivory/beige/cream...

On the happenings of last weekend..my hubby n the KAZZEN gang went for a Go-Kart outing in Shah Alam..after that we went to dine at a nice restaurant in Section 3..It's a Thai restaurant called SERAI..the food was scrumptious..but didn't manage to capture the photo as I was bz wif my little one...however u guys can enjoy the ambiance of the place..very nice..

Nice Interior n Deco

KAZZEN

My Little One with Uncle Eja..

With papa at Naili's USJ..(Ni xde kene mengena ngan Serai..saja je..)

Serai Thai Restaurant,
No. 5, Jalan Sena,
3/13A, Shah Alam Selangor
Tel: 03-5505729
(the price is very reasonable, but taklah mcm gerai tomyam..hehehe)

Initially my plan was to Update on the happenings of the weekend..ie me n my frens mini gathering..but due to unforseen circumstances, ill put that up in another posting as what Im about to share here means a lot to me...

LAst Saturday..upon returning back to work, my other half took me n my little guy to The Curve, I accompanied him for his lunch then we went to see my frens who were already at EDEN (read: actually only two had turned up..the rest were otw!) after saying the hello's n me BF my son..off went the two Most ImPORTANT men in my Life (well apart from my dad n bro's) to my SIL which was nearby (TTDI). Being the Dad he is, Im soo grateful that he can babysit my HArris.. so that I can have some time out wif my frens...Thank You dear..

So after the whole Chit-chat/gossip/nyot-nyet session that lasted for almost an 5 hours..(smpai naik menyumpah agaknya or EDEN..bila lah derang ni nak BALIK) my dear fren Ika n her two lovely children Irfan N Sarah sent me to mY SIL..at this point hubby wen i called my hubby he told me that harris dah start tak OK..(so of course I wanted to reach home ASAP)...

Upon reaching home I saw my SIL holding Harris..on her front lawn..hubby greeted me at the car..kissed my cheek n said "HappY Birthday"..me being the Blur that I always am..was like "Ugh..lum lagi lah"..then wen we entered the gate I saw that there was a commotion..(not exactly..thats me exagerating!!) there was a BBQ n not only was my inlaws (read: bro n sis) the kazzen mazzen was also there...but it still didnt hit me until they said "Happy Birthday"..yeah that was how BLUR I was..maybe bcoz it was an advance celebration..hubby planned all this with the help of my SIL...thank you..then came the lovely cupcakes..I like!!!..courtesy of my SIL..thank you ASHWAA..

Apparently Ika n a few of my frens were well informed about this..It really blew me away..Harris was infact Ok..so we had a mini celebration...n i got a nice gift from my CIL Evs..Thank you...to all who attended..thank you , to all who were involved in the preparation..Thank you..n to Mr.Mastermind..I love you...

This morning at 6.30am..I was about to do my morning routine pumping..when my eyes laid on this at the dining table..

there was a box and on top of it was a note that read:

Well that note made my eyes watery..(being the BIG emO that I am..)..I upon the card..n that tear dropped..heheheh but I wasn't crying hysterically thou...the card was sOoo Nice..here is how it looked liked:

So to my everdearest here's proof that I haved used it

Thou i dread the BIG 30..Im glad at this point Im sharing it with my everdearest...my biggESt THANK YOU to him for makIng my day..for all the effort that touch me deep..to some who already know my life partner; yes he may seem as cold as Ice but he has a heart that can melt mine...n that answers the question on y I can stand living with him..I'd be lying if I would'nt love to get a a nice tote from GUCCI, LV or the sort or that solitare ring, I've been eyeing at TIFFANY..but I know at this present moment, that is beyond his affordability..but I am thankful n SOoooo grateful that he knows how to strike the rite note to my heart on my SPecial day..the whole LV boutique could not replace what you did to me for my birthday, sayang...thank you n I LOVE you sooo much for it....

Ok now Im crying hysterically but silently...(n IM at the OFFICE!!!!!!...)

Thank you for all the birthday wishes n to my frens( u know who u r..) who at this point mite still be contemplating between choices...follow ur heart n choose someone who thou at some point u may want to strangle him to death..but if u look back u never regret sharing the beautiful life u had with him...for myself..im not sure if my life will be a bed of roses all the way..i hope n pray that it will pass all the obstacles n that we will be together till our after life...

n to the love of my life..I lOVE u...n thank you..

My little Guy is 4M plus...

2008-04-17T08:08:00.004+08:00

Soo many things to update..yet so little time...sigh..sigh..yes my web has spider webs now..hahha thanks to friends who still visit, albeit the fact that my blog has turned into a cave...

So whats new..well let's start off with two weeks in Kemaman...twas a helicopter ride for me there..y?? bcoz tha'ts what i did most of the time..well i did'nt actually ride a helicopter, but my head went into a helicopter mode just like those of a propeller everytime there was a talk..n ooo boy there were many2 talks..n time was sooo packed.. we barely had half an hour between activities to pray n eat...n my block was farking far!!!!!...huhuhu...but yet I still did not manage to shed my stubborn fat!!!! we were not even allowed to go out..n our car was abandoned on the grass during the whole course .. n may i tell u this..the course thot me it is not going to be easy to become a PTD.....sometimes i do question myself..Y in hell do i get myself into this?..on the last day of the course we were all given our posting n i got the Ministry of Energy, Water & Communication....a far cry from what i had anticipated.

I drove back to KL asAp after that to reunite with my beloved n my son..i miss them sooo much..thank god for 3G...hail technology!!!!!..atleast i get to see thier faces while talking...

7th april reported to the new ministry..luckily there were 6 of us..so it was ok..if not ud feel like a lost black sheep..u know how it is when a new person joins ur place..the stare..the glare..the comments..ugh..n now im that person...so throughout the week it was a lot of filling in forms..we stayed at the library...which was ok..coz it was just us..come the previous monday..we were assigned to our places...I was posted under the development section..n i have a room..hahahahahhaha how kewl is that!!!..ur just a junior officer n u get a room but its a sharing basis lah..a room for two..well atleast u get privacy..if back in the private sector, even managers don't get rooms..nothing to shout about thou..just that u get a little privacy in ur own space....the six of us was all scattered in our postings...

So basicilly my ministries name is self explanatory...quite intresting thou..n im sort of glad to be attched here..atleast room for me to know n learn about the latest technology implemented in the country...

Yesterday I was told I had to go to Sabah for 4 days..i felt like wailing I have to accompany the KSU (the number one officer here), i don't mind travelling..the thing is I have to leave Harris AGAIN..n he's still exclusively BF...dah lah my im faced with milk shortage problem due to the absence of direct sucking during my two weeks course..now AGAIN...huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to go to KK then Sandakan..dah lah my knowledge here is ZERO n i don't even know the purpose of me going there...ish tensionnya...thank god PIL is here..so HArris will go back with my PIL tommorow morning...huaaa siannya...definately have to supplement...no offence to those feeding thier child with formula..its just that I happen to enjoy BF..n it does wonders to Harris..dugaan..dugaan..

So basically that's a brief summary of my jungle adventure for the past weeks of my absence..till next time..

Latest UPDATE as of 17 APril 2.45pm: I don't have to go to SABAH..hurrah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Doc...I laikeee...

2008-03-07T09:28:00.004+08:00

This posting is just to share with yours truly readers her daily's ups and downs..no intention to be showy or watsoever...so if u feel u can't handle wat I blog about..pls do not CONTINUE reading...I repeat PLS DO NOT CONTINUE READING...(iklan jap)

I needed to do a medical check up prior to my new job...problem is..all my AL have been abolished due to my early resignation..so im left with MC, which being a good employee (cheh!) I have yet to utilise for this year...

So yesterday ngan selambanya I went to my panel clinic and told the dr. straight in the face..there was nothing wrong with me..just that I need an MC coz i need to do a medical check up..(My company mmg strict..leh MC from panel je)...so dr. tanpa bnyk Q&A..bg.leganya...

So went to do medical check up kat QHC Medical Centre..so during the check up with the doc..i informed her that i just delivered three months ago..then masa dia Check my tummy n upper part of my body she said this : Ur very slim considering the fact u just gave birth three months back..(aku pun dengan hati berbunga..bunga...n rasa mcm nak peluk je dr. tu....) Sukanya dengar walaupun aku tahu sebenarnya itu bukanlah realitinya..aku masih gemuk..n bnyk sgt lemak terlebih sana sini..Betul tak sayang?..tp She just made my day yesterday..kekekekekek Ooo pastu she asked..anak pertama ke? I nodded..Then u must b very young..(Hello!!!!..aku ni dah nak masuk 3 series dah..sure dia ni tak tgk my profile...) but nway atleast it made me smile..kakahahahahha (Mak yg perasan!!!)...

So anyway Dr. Rogayah Shamsuddin..ur the best...!!! thanx for making my day yesterday..Aku ni dahlah sgt paranoid everytime i look into the mirror..bilalah nak slim ni...

MY WOes...

2008-03-05T09:21:00.006+08:00

19th March will be my last day at SPNB...Im supposed to give a 3 months notice but i requested for an early release...I've to report duty at INTIM (INTAN Tgganu) on the 24th...will attend a 10 days course then barulah posted to whichever Ministry assigned to...meanwhile Im bzz playing games till I resign..kakahahahahahh

I recieved numerous reaction towards my resignation..but one that clearly shocked me was..one of my staff (my assistant to be exact) actually cried while calling me over the phone...Wow..didn't know i made such an impact on her...she asked whether I really have to leave..which was a bit touching..and being the drama queen that i am..i almost cried along..hehehehhe (mak terharu gitu..kakakkakakaka plus i mite have to pay for back a certain sum to my company..HUaaaaa..kopak2)

Nway my greatest concern will be of my son...initially my aunt in Ipoh willingly offered to take care of Harris alongside wif my grandma n grandma's maid...so there were three people attending to my baby throughout...at that point of time my PIL were holidaying in Indonesia..so wen they got back n heard the news..my MIL offered to take care of Harris...said that she'd take half day for two weeks..meanwhile her maid will take care of him while she's at work..which worries me a bit coz the maid is barely 17 and has no experience handling a baby except for helping care for her niece occasionaly back in her kg....I really hope n pray all will be well..my mom can't be of any assistance during the weekdays as she is hell bzz.......

I have to supplement my child with formula during this period as i don't think i can express n prepare 400++ oz during this short period of time...Huaaaaaa sayang nya...ive been exclusively BF since birth n i really enjoy it..now kena berkorban...so i need tips from u guys..what is the best formula to suppplement while im gone??..I pray God will still let me continue BF exclusively once I finish the course...(pls God..don't let my supply dry up..) any tips???

Part time Job

2008-02-14T09:20:00.007+08:00

I have a new part time job..but I don’t get paid to do it..just my obligation…the job is expressing milk for harris..hehehe..Im totally Breastfeeding him…which means I have a target to reach everyday…yesterday I had a sudden heart freeze (Is there such a word!! Hehe) the babysitter told me that my son drank all the milk I gave that morning which was 20oz…I felt like fainting…my goodness now I have to express atleast 20oz a day..how am I ever gonna do that…did I manage? Well yesterday I accumulated 0.5oz short which is 19.5oz…Did I tell u guys how tiring it was?? No better still it kills!!! But my babysitter won’t allow me to supplement him with formula..and I myself don’t want to…so I have to make the sacrifice and be mentally and physically strong to stay focus (*secretly i hope my other half wud appreciate my small effort) I salute u guys who manage to do so..Awie, Didie, Ika….ur now my idol..my mom is worried my baby will be obese if he is drinking too much..i hope he won’t…

So mia..No 2nd child any time soon unless u want to see me hanging myself…and to guys who manage to fully BF please..please give me tips on how to express more....

This is my motivation everyday…

My chubby harris..yes kay..that is the lampin u gave me tq n ramai ckp cantik...btw my son has a new look..will upload his new look in my next entry...

Kisah pengasuh yang tak mengasuh....

2008-02-06T14:31:00.000+08:00

Supposedly I was to send my son to the babysitter Monday morning, late Sunday we met up with her n everythg seemed fine..she didn’t ask for our contact numbers n we forgot to give her… come Monday morning my husband rang me at the office telling me that the babysitter was sick..she had a fever…n my hubby came to know ths at her hse…so he had to take an EL for that morning n I had to EL ½ day that afternoon..tension wa..(baru naik kerja dah kena EL..i hate doing stuff like ths…)

So in between the time waiting for me to come home..my husband n my brother baby sat harris…That night I called the babysitter to check whether I can send harris to her tomorrow…when I heard her voice..i already knew the answer…she also had a bad flu n cough..she told me she can babysit but she does not want my baby to catch the bug..she did apologise..n of course I had my to put my son’s health as priority…

Who baby sat my son yesterday n today??? Well apparently my brother imran and my SIL…thank god..my brother just graduated so goofing about trying to find a job..n SIL has quit her hectic job…im soo glad that my brother adores kids..so I was not that worried leaving my son with a 23 year old..i only warned him not to bathe my son till my SIL came…atleast there’s two of them…apart from that I know my brother can feed/play sleep my son…this is a practical training for SIL so she has hands on training wen she has a baby..heheheh and this is the time for my son to bond with his only immediate aunt..heheh

Today..i left my son at my SIL hse, my brother is there too so I hope he behaves …..

an outing in PAVILLION

2008-02-01T21:01:00.000+08:00

one fine day..which was yesterday..went outing wif mr harris, his aunt azra, uncle im n his gf..we went to a mall called PAVILLION..my little harris slept most of the time...but he started cranking up wen we were about to go home..no amount of cuddling cud soooth him..but anyway by pure luck it was actually the grand opening ceromony of the mall..so we caught a glimpse of Pak Lah n wifey...the mall was quite huge, however we didnt explore the whole place..i kind of like the Parkson there...kewl...

THAT'S WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT
Micheal Bolton

There was a time
We thought our dream was over
When you and I
Had surely reached the end
Still here we are
The flame as strong as ever
All because we both kept holding on
We know we can weather any storm

Baby, that's what love is all about
Two hearts that find a way, somehow
To keep the fire burning
It's something we could never live without
If it takes forever
We can work it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Baby, that's what love is all about

As time goes by
We've learned to rediscover
The reason why
This dream of ours survives
Through thick and thin
We're destined for each other
Knowing we can reach the other side
Far beyond the mountains of our pride

CHORUS:

Ridin' the good times is easy
The hard times can tear you apart
There'll be times in your heart
When the feelin' is gone
But ya keep on believing
And ya keep holdin' on

Baby, that's what love is all about
Two hearts that find a way, somehow
To keep the dream from dying
It's something we could never live without
If it takes forever
We can, we can work it out!
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Baby, that's what love is all about

Update..update...

2007-11-27T11:40:00.000+08:00

Im felt nausea this morning…Must be due to my morning white coffee instead of the usual milo…we ran out of milo yesterday..n me wanting to be a good wifey tried to settle for white coffee instead for my morning quench..thus ending up feeling out…

Ive been meaning to update my blog…but hav not the ability to do so..either im tied up with work or im just exhausted…off late hubby has been sending me to n fro work…thank you dear…thank god for school holidays..but I pity him..USJ-KL_Glenmarie then in the evening Glenmarie-KL-USJ…sometimes I wish that I could deliver ASAP so that it won’t be tiring for him or me…tapi ku takut!!!

As Im nearing my due date..all kinds of thout float in my head…will it be today? Tomorrow? Or will it be overdue?? Im not experiencing any signs of early labour yet…no mucus..no abnormal discharge..no shows..just that the baby loves to push my belly hard especially on the top rite side of my tummy…I still can walk normally..occasionally I wil feel the baby heavy in my pelvic area…other than that..im ok alhamdulillah….

Ive lost the motivation to go to work lately…I just wish I could sleep in…I still have 9 days of MC and 6.5 days of AL..but im not intending to utilise it as if I do take early leave…I wud still hav to come to work if I don’t deliver within…

Since i could pop at any time, I would like to take this opportunity to beg for forgiveness (heheh) for all any of my wrongdoings towards u guys throughout the period we’ve known each other…lama tu !!!!…I’ve known some of u guys longer than hubby..16 years dah…so mesti ada nya dosa sunat, makruh n etc..etc..harap diampunkan ye!!...Coz giving birth is like fighting for our lives takut..takut!!!…To my everdearest..don’t forget to forgive me everyday…heheh n pls don’t keep any grudges against me…sometimes I can be a pain..but just bear in mind..Im only human…which means Im entitled to not be perfect….

My HAri RAya

2007-10-25T11:23:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone..guess u guys hav updated ur blogs with raya stories…I wanted to do so since my first day back at work but did not find the time and energy to do so…

So basically…this was my first raya without my parents..sos..sob..it feels kinda weird…thank god im quite used to my inlaws so it was’nt that bad….we arrived a day before raya..n my MIL was bzz preparing the raya feast…I was sooo thankful that MIL got a bibik…so the weightage of helping her was lessen..not to say I did’nt want to help but in this condition..i could’nt help out that much….and SIL plak raya with her inlaws.

So Raya with my inlaws was ok..we did’nt do much visiting except to hubby’s tok’s.., my uncle’s open hse and my grandparents on father’s side….

We departed to muar late 2nd Raya evening… traffic was kinda bad..bad it was worst towards South Bound…arrived in Muar at around Isya’ time…n we were both exhausted….went to raya at my relatives hse till quite late….my parents specialy mom was happy to see us… the next day was most tiring as thou we did not go out..but ppl came none stop…from 11am till 11pm….there was’nt a time when the hse was without guests…

WE departed for KL on the fourth of raya..made pit stops at a few relatives house along the way…then slept at mom’s hse in bangi…

I barely took any photo’s this raya cuz I felt soooo bloated..heheheh..so next year nak bergambar raya all out..heheh (cheh berangan)…

So since we’re all still in the festive mood…id like to welcome u guys to my hse…anytime but not on the 2-4th nov as my hse will be closed..unless u guys nak weezal layan u lah..ill be attending a course for that duration..

But do infom me if u guys nak dtg….bolelah I try prepare somethg…nak buat open hse mmg tak laratlah….
Selamat berOPEN HSE!
