The trip

(suppose to be yesterday's entry tapi blogger slow yg amat semlm)

Finally im back to office. But suprisingly this time it wasnt that hard to wake up early and resume the daily chores as before. Its been four days since i last prepared idlan's porridge, and this morning it feels good to cook for him again (after 4 consecutive days we fed him with bubur ayam mc D ehhehe)!

The trip? hmm it wasnt that good in the beginning, felt very upset and tired, just too tired to handle idlan's God-only-knows-why tantrums. Be it at the airport, before we depart, inside the plane, after landed at kk...god im just too tired till i felt like staying at hotel and sleep throughout the day doing nothing. He refused to walk, refused to sit, the only thing he wants is for mama to carry him all the time. No gilir-gilir with tok, tok wan, mak ude or even his abah! He behaves nicely inside the hotel room, jumping and running here n there, but the moment we stepped out of the room, dunno what happen all he wants is dukung dukung and dukung! My body ached all over, my pinggang and belakang running flat, at times i did put him down, left him crying and ignore him...but you know ppl might be staring at me saying what a bad mama i am (hoho) so basically i got no choice, still have to carry him around...:(

DAY 1
We stayed at Zaharah Hotel Apartment, same place with Promenade, but under different management. The best thing is, we get cheaper price than promenade. The room is ok, equipped with kitchen cab some more (kekonon nak masak seafood tp tak larat pon :p), its just the toilet tiles looks a bit old and usang.
Arrived KK around 1245, headed straight to hotel, had Mc D as our lunch and rest. Evening came, we went for a stroll near the sea/waterfront, had a quick peek inside the center point and went back empty handed. Dinner time we had tosei and fried mee at mamak stall nearby. The tosei, together with its dhal and curry seriously finger licking good hehe

DAY 2
KK time is one hr earlier than KL, so there at 6am is already terang benderang. We took heavy breakfast i.e nasi lemak that morning, and our journey to kundasang begins as early as 830am. Lucky we made a wise decision to engage local ppl, to be specific En Shamsul as our tour guide. If not i dont think we manage to get to kundasang on time. Before that we stopped at UMS and masjid terapung to enjoy the beautiful scenery and taking pics. Arrived at kinabalu park around 12++. Saw some ppl including mat salleh with their 'tongkat hikmat', assuming they just came down from their mission of conquering the mount kk. Weather is extremely cold, with the strong wind blows sehingga mencucuk2 tulang. Taking pics is a must, but quite disappointing for we couldnt see the peak clearly due to bad weather. From there we went down to Ranau town for lunch, before checked in at TM Resort Kundasang. After lepak-lepak and having enough rest, called En Shamsul to pick us up for a visit to Pot Spring. Such a serene and tranquil place, with trees everywhere, and yes it also has jambatan gantung but not that scary to cross over :) The pot spring is different from Kolam Air Panas in Baling, Kedah where it has many small and separate hot ponds available for visitors to rendam their kaki inside. But we didnt try any, malas nak tukar2 baju plus its getting dark at that time. After taking pics (as usual), moved to several souvenir stalls outside, MIL bought some pearl bracelets. On our back to resort, stopped by at a night market in Ranau, hubby tried their nasi kuning/kunyit, and we took away KFC as dinner.

Night time, i had difficulty to sleep, due to the sounds of heavy wind blowing outside. The sound....huhuh so scary, cam bunyi org pompuan wailing camner ntah cam hantu hehe. But at last tertido jugak tu pon penat paksa diri :) And oh we were so unfortunate, water heater at the resort went kaput, and the water is no way like the normal water, its as cold as an ice. Amik air semayang terketar-ketar ggrrrgrgrgrgrrr

DAY 3
Early in the morning, managed to get a sight of mount kk's peak even tho its been surrounded by heavy mist. Starts the day by going to town to get some vege and fruits sold nearby the roadside. And thanx so much to B and mak for the flowers (celebrated my besday in Sabah this year hehe). Flowers are cheaper than cameron, so as the vege. Next En Shamsul brought us to shops selling local crafts, which is at Pekan Nabalu. There we got very good deal, and thanx to our Mr Bargain i.e my hubby...he's really good in doing that! We bought kain pua, kayu to hang the kain, frigde magnet and t-shirts. Our next destination is Kota Belud, to visit ayah's long time college friend. Been served scrumptious and wide array of lauk pauk including telur penyu (of which i dare not try hehe). Arrived back in KK town around 2++ and we straight away went to the phillipines market. Shopping sakan there (mak la...myself shopping biasa2 jer), again mr bargain managed to get us brooch, kain pua, bracelet and many more at such a good price. Habis shopping, back to Zaharah hotel to check in and sleep.

Evening came, we initially planned to go and have seafood dinner at Gayang or Tg Aru beach but the weather didnt permit us to do so. Heavy rain plus ribut sket2, due to ribut in phillipines if we were not mistaken. Hence we just had fried chicken rice from another mamak stall nearby the hotel.

DAY 4
Still rain in the morning, but that didnt stop us to go and had our last min shopping at phillipines market. Get another few sets of brooch, bracelet, etc...balik hotel packing and off to airport around 1230. Arrived KL nearly 5pm, stopped at masjid dengkil to perform our solat, and menjamu perut at Malee, the ever famous spot for tomyam (sape taknah try tomyam malee, silalah pegi, dijamin sedap gilers).

Ok tu la saje citer trip kali ni...got no time to describe in details. Pics will be uploaded later.

checklist

1] My little tiny note book done progressively well so far, i've practically never miss to put every single things i've spent since the beginning of week. And doing this way i can see the expenses are much more controlled than before :))
2] Idlan has recovered from the fever alhamdulillah. Hope he's stable and ok for the trip.
3] We still havent pack for the trip, thanx to the laziness. Must drag myself to start packing tonite else we might miss out something... as usual :p
4]To go to pasar mlm this evening to get some chicken, meat and vege. Not that i've become extra rajin this week but my mil,fil and sil are coming tomorrow, surely i must prepare something right?
5]To bake the chocolate cake using home-made flour mix given by my aunt long long ago (say 4-5 months back) before it reaches the expiry date :p
6] To clean and kemas all the guest rooms, can hardly remember when did the last time we cleaned up the rooms ...sigh*
7] To book a car for our trip to kundasang. A Wira already costs you about RM120, that is the cheapest i can get so far, so expensive isnt it?
8] To adjust myself for a more proper meal time, especially breakfast. And to make it compulsory to have a cup of milo/hot drink in between lunch and tea time.

the second attack

Tanpa disangka-sangka, selasa lepas lagi sekali aku kena attack gastrik. Tapi kali ni attack lebih teruk, start kena pukul 3.30pm kot, completely recover esok harinya iaitu Rabu lepas zohor. Time kena attack tu, dah terasa sesak dada, nafas tercungap-cungap, dan aku terus lari ke toilet sbb dah rasa loya nak muntah, tapi tak keluar. Last2 pegi lepak surau, menahan sakit. Tapi still tak lega, at last call pruzz mintak dia dtg (air mata dah kuar time tuh huhu). Terus lari pegi klinik, sampai klinik tak sempat nak register, terus muntah kat toilet. Abis sepinggan nasi paprik lunch tadi kuar. Doc cuma kasik ubat, aku mintak jab, dia takmo kasik lagi, dia soh mkn ubat dulu. So as per advised, telanla ubat...termasuk ubat tahan muntah. Tak lama lepas tu, muntah balik. Habis kuar isi perut termasuk ubat. Bila tak tahan sgt, ajak pruzz pegi klinik lagi, mintak jab. Doc kasik luckily. Tapi nampak gaya jab pon tak jln, rasa lega sekejap jer, lepas tu sakit yg amat balik. Badan mmg dah lemah sesgt, mungkin dehydrated, nak mkn mmg tak lalu, sbb mkn sket terus muntah. Dan yg lebih haru, idlan plak tetiba demam petang tu. Mlm tu mmg langsung tak larat nak jaga idlan, harapkan abahnyer la tolong jaga. Mujur demam dia tak tinggi sgt..tapi sian dia mama langsung tak larat nak layan dia. Aku cuma terbaring jer tahan sakit, last2 tertido dgn perut yg kosong dan sakit yg teramat.

Esoknyer, masih belum lega, pi klinik mintak jab lagi skali, doc kasik mc. Balik rumah terus tido sampai lepas zohor. Alhamdulillah bgn tido hilang segala sakit. Barula dpt mkn, isi perut yg mmg dah kosong tu ( in total aku muntah 8x kot). Tgh hari abah amik idlan dari nursery, sian idlan demam masih ade sket2, mujur badan masih aktif, still boley jerit2 lagi.

Aku rasa macam fobia plak bila kena gastrik ni, lebih rela kalo kena migrain atau diarrhea atau sakit perut daripada kena gastrik. Sakitnyer mmg takleh tahan, sesak dada tu yg paling horror, rasa tak cukup nafas. Lepas ni mmg kena lebih berwaspada, mkn kena on time, no delay whatsoever, takleh mkn extra pedas/masam, etc....(dahla feveret aku tomyam huk huk)

........hopefully idlan dah ok today....kalo idak abisla plan pi sabah next week huhu

1]Outing ke Alamanda kelmarin adalah outing yg terpenat dlm sejarah. Kuar rumah pukul 130pm, balik around 5 lebey. Kenape penat? Sebab almost sepanjang masa (minus waktu lunch hr) Idlan mintak berdukung je kerja..nak dukung ngan mama jer plak tu, takmo abah langsung. Ntah ape dah jadi ngan mood dia....Kalo next week pi sabah macam ni jugak perangainyer, mahu flat mama. No wonder mama sakit belakang...aduhai anak kenapela malas berjln plak sekarang ni yer???

2]Tiba-tiba kelmarin kami baru sedar yg start dari bulan ni loan rumah dah kena bayar RM1K++ (kami amik fixed loan)...adus budget habis lari lintang-pukang. Dgn sabahnyer lagi, dgn nak service ketanyer lagi, aduh lahai nyesal plak shopping last week :p

3] In lieu with that, mama nak start balik praktis zaman dulu-dulu, yakni tulis setiap butir perbelanjaan harian dlm buku nota :))) Kena keep track balik budget, no more shopping for unnecessary thingy mingy ok!

am tired

Things are pretty hectic in the center. With the conflict amongst the staff, with the memo issue received by one of our senior sent by our 'beloved' customer accusing him/her being rude throughout their conversation, some more with the staff shortage issue that seems to getting nowhere and whats not. Huish pening pening, for god's sake the center was established in July 2004, now its been two yrs ++ already yet very little things changed. Ntahla ape nak jadi...

Forget about work, my little darling at home recently loves driving us up to the wall, with his crying-for-no-reason till vomitting, with his temper, with his lack of interest on any foods, with his sudden poor bowel movement ..memacam lagilah. I found myself stuck of thinking what kind of food i need to prepare and pack to nursery. Everything prepared ends up being throwed into the dustbin. Lucky he still wants to eat porridge that they prepared at nursery, if not anak terunaku akan bertambah kurus lah jawabnyer :(

Oh by the way i've done with shopping on his share for the upcoming raya puasa. Except for the baju melayu of which am still thinking whether to get a new one for him or not...considering he only wore the previous yr baju once, that was during pagi raya, then the baju was safely kept inside the drawer untouch (sungguh tak berbaloi isnt it?) You all might be asking, isnt it too early to shop for raya? me also think the same, but the temptation is just too strong to be resist haha. Plus the megasale banner and tag all inside our local newspaper, ads on tv and the likes. Oh how i wish my hubby could snatch my cc and hide it somewhere and acts as if he knows nothing when i ask him :) But the good part is i dont have any debit balance ok, am really a good girl rite (and i used to be an accountant once upon a time ago :p)...its just that i would be far better off if i could get rid of this habit of buying unnecessary clothes for my baby. Bad habit really ish ish.

I've finished Sophie Kinsella's Confession of a Shopaholic. Superb story, that i believed does happen in reality. Pls pls just go and get the book, its highly recommended ok! Serius boley ilang tension kalo baca :p But am nobody compared to becky in the book, she really done well in shopping hehe!

Cant wait for our KK trip this coming august, cepatla cuti, dah bosan keje, muak pon ader huhuhu. And yes my sil is coming back, and shes bringing back kinsella's collection...and not forgetting idlan's new shoe...argh tak sabarnya :)))

Emm to ummimon@ktie, take care and we hope iman and kakak gets better soon! Idlan sends his regards to the both of them :)

tetiba terasa diri bz...memacam benda kena buat dlm masa terdekat:

-bz isi borang scholar, dptkan komen bos, cop, bla bla bla...masa dptkan sign GM, GM kasik jampi sket, insya allah boley dpt dia kata ...:) hehe amin
-bz isi borang apply U
-bz ngan 5S
-bz blajar voip
-dan...setelah melihat Suria, rupanye aku berjaya tak cuti dari bulan June sampai skarang...amazing! Kalo idak every month sure mesti ada cutila, urgent la, mc la...wahh kagum!

Anak teruna alhamdulillah sihat walafiat, buang stool pon makin aktif kekadang sampai 3x sehari..mungkin penangan Ribena kots hehe. Atuk dia kata semakin nakal, well last week lepak seharian kat umah nek umi dan atuk kat ampang. Petang tu atuk tetiba rajin, masakkan mee hailam utk kitorang 5 beranak satu-satu...lauk-pauk byk plak tu ade udang, ayam, telur, sayur etc etc...dan idlan plak dgn tak malunyer menyendeng-nyendeng mintak mee dari pinggan atuk, walaupun time tu mama pon tgh suap dia. Hm makin manja dan rapat ngan nek umi dan atuk nyer bagus! Dan hari tu juga, cousin idlan si hana dtg lepak sama, dan seperti yg mama dah agak dari awal, sure hana akan tertarik ngan belon The Incredible idlan. Dan terjadilah perebutan dan tragedi air mata antara mereka berdua hehe...cumanyer dua-dua berebut secara baik dan tidak ganas...bagus :) No gaduh-gaduh ok!

exhausting weekend

Hari Sabtu lepas, Taman Sutera (bakal tmn kami) mengadakan pesta jualan amal, dan hasil jualan dimasukkan ke dlm tabung surau baru kami. Kitorang decide nak contribute sket, makanya selepas berdiscuss kitorang set nak jual muffin. Friday nite tuh, projek bakar-membakar dijalankan. Start membakar pukul 9mlm, rite after idlan tido. Dan settle bakar pukul 3.45am...penat tak? hehe pinggang flat, badan pon lenguh satu badan. Total muffin yg dibakar around 110 biji kots....setengah jual kat tmn sutera, setengah lagi nak contribute pd majlis mkn2 aka final gathering utk students pruzz ptg sabtu tu...balance sket2 kitorang 3 beranak mkn. Kepada jiran2 kami sebelah rumah, ampun maaf dipinta kalo kami wat bising tgh2 mlm tu, bising bangat mixer tu, sori eh..terimala muffin kami sebagai balasan kebisingan di mlm tu :p

Alhamdulillah dgr citer muffin sold out, kpd kak zira, kak fifah and kak shima, tima kasih kerana sudi jualkan muffin kitorang. Sori kitorang tak dpt stay lelama, ptg tu ada majlis lain plaks. Sempat jugak pegi jenguk rumah, sumer nampak ok, cuma wiring tak complete lagi...CF bilalah ko nak kluar yer??? Kami nak celebrate besday idlan kat rumah baru, baik cepat2 dpt CF!

Ahad, seperti biasa kitorang yg mmg tak tegar duk kat rumah decide utk kluar ke JJ...saje jln2 cari lunch, plus ari tuh ade Barney punyer show...saje bwk idlan kot dia suke...tp malangnyer idlan tade perasaan pun bila tgk Barney tu nyanyi and dance atas stage tu..hehe idlan suke The Incredibles je :p Lepas shopping sket2 brg dapur, kitorang balik umah..penat semlm still tak ilang.

Ptg tu, mood rajin dtg menjelma, makanyer aku try resepi sweet bun yg beli kat kedai Yen. Mujur bun menjadi, pruz kata sedap, cuma rupanye kureng sket hehe...next time kena carik jln supaya bun sedap, dan rupanyer lawa!

OK sekian perjalanan weekend kami..apelah plak citer next weekend eh...tgh pk ape nak buat hehe...

p/s: sape nak orden muffin, silalah email calx_88@yahoo.com (insya allah sedap :p) Macam2 perisa ade, coklat, vanilla, orange, banana, blueberry, ...namakan ajer!

Idlan and The Incredibles

Idlan:
- Inilah belon Incredibles saya
- Mama beli minggu lepas kat Alamanda
- Saya memang saaaayang sangat kat belon ni tak tahula kenapa.
- Bangun pagi, terus cari the incredibles. Malam tadi tido, tangan saya masih tak lepas incredibles. Kiranya memang saya tengah giler la kat incredibles nih.
- Tiap2 pagi pegi nursery, saya tak lupa bawa the incredibles masuk kereta. Tapi bila sampai nursery teka apa jadi???
- Apa? Abah rampas incredibles saya? Abah tak kasik bwk pegi nursery. Kejamnyer abah!
-Dan saya akan menangis sedih giler bila belon dirampas huhuhu

Abah/mama: Takleh bwk belon gi nursery la sayang. Nanti kengkawan main, takut rosak ke ape ke. Ha kalo rosak sape nak bertanggungjawab? Nak suruh mama beli lagi? oh tidak tidak hehehe

Ok sekian cerita terkini dari saya, Muhammad Idlan Farhan.

the newly-proposed judicial system

AG has made a new proposal to bring back the juror system to our current practice in handling court cases. Some shows their support, the others show defiance to the proposal. And myself? I guess there are points worth deep consideration before we agreed to continue such practice.

The decision to leave one's life in the hands of the laymen is such a big thing. Not only the laymen does not have adequate background and knowledge in legal matters, but that also means massive costs involve in acquiring the appropriate person to act as jurors. Being a juror, you must be impartial, must deliver verdict based on facts and not driven by emotional sentiments. Such a huge responsibility isnt it? However, appointing them will also means we can eliminate some corrupt practice amongst the professional, i.e lawyers and judges. They are outsiders, have no relation with the person being charged, hence they can view and weigh the evidence nicely, without external influence. But things definitely change if they were offered bribes. Am not sure whether the proposed system is similar like the one used in UK, whereby jurors being secluded and disallow contact with their families/anyone during the whole court trials.

Well lets just see what happen next, whatever it is i hope it'll be the best practice that can be think of, for the benefit of all. Most important thing, the convicted gets what they deserve, the innocents get free, and the trials duration being held at a much shorter period than what we're having right now.

p/s: cepatla pukul 530pm hehe

the weekend's story

As usual, there must be outing during weekend, if not the weekend feels incomplete :p

We made our first move to JJ Equine, well a place that was like our second home nowadays hehe. The main intention is to find a mixer, my very own mixer! ...and also a thermopot to replace our exhausting and wear-out thermos. So after extensive survey and much deliberation inside the jusco home center, we decided not to get any of it. None caught our attention. We left jusco and headed to Alamanda. It was quite surprising to see many ppl in alamanda, well we thought the numbers are reducing considering the newly-opening JJ not far away fr putrajaya. But we were wrong though. After penat berjln2, we brought home a mixer, my very own mixer finally, thanks B sayang awak! And not forgetting some groceries, and 2 ballons for Idlan. The first one costs me RM3, i bought it just to please and persuade him not to mengamuk since he was already too sleepy and exhausted. The second one was a ballon with The Incredibles printed on it. Well he is so loves with the incredibles lately, i initially haunted for the anak patung or t-shirts but none was avail, yg ada cuma ballon. That costs me another RM3.90, but i tell u, he is so sayangggg the ballon, so tak sia-sia mama beli tuh hehe. We cancelled our haunting for the thermopot, considering the fact that the power must always-on in order for the water to maintain hot. Buying that means another extra cost for our electricity, hence we'll resort to the normal one later.

im going out to kedai Yen later this afternoon to get some muffin mix for the upcoming bakar-membakar project :) Oven dah ada, mixer baru dah ade, so projek lama kena dihidupkan kembali yeye

mix jumbo updates

Ramai kengkawan skang tgh celebrate durian runtuh yg diterima kelmarin. Saya? ohh org yg malas dan berfikiran negative spt saya mmg tak dpt apa-apa. Mmg langsung tak mengeluarkan setitik peluh utk menjual, hatta serves u right la kan :p Mulut nganga jela huhu.

Anak terunaku semlm sekali lagi menguji kesabaran, dua kali ditepis mangkuk bubur, habis separuh isi tumpah, mama and abah tinggi suara, dia merajuk. Tp rajuknya sekejap, dan mujur habis jugak bubur tu, kalau idak sure mama mkn hati lagik hehe

Kami tgh test kasi dia Yakult sbb lately bowel movement dia not so good. Dah beberapa hari dia membuang stool time tgh tido lena waktu mlm..sian baby mama. Bila kasik Yakult, seronok bukan main dpt pegang sendiri, tp dia suke benar main masuk kuar straw, kekadang tumpah yakult tu, bila marah, terus dia mrajuk.

Nampak gaya lately anak teruna dah pandai merajuk. Pantang naik suara sket, dia akan merajuk. Merajuk style dia, nangis olok-olok gegiler punyer kuar air mata, buat batuk-batuk, sampai kekadang tu tersedak dan paling teruk, sampai muntah. So terpaksala kami pujuk cecepat, takut dia batuk2 dan muntah. Sampai tahap cegitu skali rajuknyer, manelah baby mama blajar isk isk

On a positive note, dia dah pandai undress separuh badan, i.e bukak sluar bila nak mandi. Cukup suke bila dgr perkataan 'mandi'. Bukak baju masih tak pass, masih stuck kat certain parts hehe

Utk enhance kan dia punyer ability to recognize objects/animals, kami beli satu kertas besar yg kaler warna warni yg ade bebyk gambar tuh (ape aar nama benda ni takleh nak pk plak), and tampal tepi tangga. So everyday akan tanya dia, where is chicken, where is bird bla bla bla. At times sumer yg kami tanye, sumer dia tunjuk betul. At times byk plak yg salah. Hish konfius mama hehe.

apa ada dgn weekend?

Idlan had his 1.5yo jab last saturday..alhamdulillah he's ok till now, no fever whatsoever. Somebody told us long ago that whenever we're about to take our kids for immunisation, must give ubat demam first before going to clinic. We took that as practice and it works with idlan..and of course with Allah's will as well. We spent a nite at Umi's on saturday, so that idlan got the chance to play and have fun to the max with pak su. Well it's going to be his last day with pak su before pak su's departure to KK for study. To adik, all the best, our pray will be with u alwayz, study smart, tk care, and we luv u, and idlan gonna miss u sooo the very much :p Not sure if idlan can still remember u when u're back for hari raya three months ahead hehe

Talking about their bonding and relationship, we all are still confuse as how and what brings them to be so close. Idlan seems to admire him so much, ke mana pak su pegi, idlan akan ikut. Pak su breakfast depan tv, idlan duk kat sofa tepi pak su, watching him closely, sambil menyendeng-nyendeng. Minum susu, lentok tepi pak su. Pak su kluar nak pegi blajar driving, idlan nak nangis ikut. Heran sungguh kitorang, pak su mcm ade satu daya tarikan istimewa :p Pasnih dtg umah umi, sure idlan terasa ketiadaan pak su kat umah. That night we had dinner outside, celebrating pak su yg dah nak pegi next week. And the dinner was on me, si kakak yg baik hati hehe. Idlan behave all the night, at times he sat nicely inside the baby chair, eating his mushroom soup and fries. But tots of his age, nak ke duk lelama? Sudah tentu tidak hehe. Bila dia dah bosan, kitorang kluarkan dia dr baby chair tuh. Memula dia jln ke hulu hilir, as of inspecting the place. Then pegi dr satu meja ke meja, tgk org makan (malunyer mama hehe). Bila bosan lagi, dia start tolak kusi tu dr utara ke selatan. Mujur tak langgar meja org lain :)

Kelmarin, dr umah umi kami ke keramat, melawat my offismate yg baru discharge dr gleneagles, buat minor op kat lutut. Syiok auntie aida eh, mc 2 minggu, extendable lagik tuh hehe...get well soon aida! Idlan biasala, memula senyap giler, sebijik perkataan pon tak kuar dr mulut. Time dah nk balik baru dia warm up sket, tu pon bila dia ternampak mangkuk auntie aida yg cun melecun, penuh ngan biji bulat2 warna warni tu. Ape lagi, idlan pon kuarkan la satu persatu biji2 tuh, kuar masuk kuar masuk. Last2 time nk blk, idlan amik satu biji wat kenangan hehe..thanks eh aida. Balik umah, 3 beranak terbongkang kepenatan. Then buat laundry 2 trip sampai penuh ampaian. Petang, sudah terasa bosan..makanye abah pon suggest pegi JJ, maklumlah..dekat sesgt cuma 4 minit sahaja minyak pon tak terjejas akakka....so jln2 cari mkn kat jj. Idlan berjaye dpt sebiji belon dr uncle clown. Lepas dinner kat fudcot, kitorang pon balik...time tu baru kol 840pm. Bila nak sampai rumah, tgk2 idlan dah tertido atas riba mama...belon masih dipegang lagi. Isk cian baby mama kepenatan berjln seharian eh!

1] We went to PD for a short cuti-cuti mesia last saturday for a simple father's day celebration. More story, simply visit our fotopage The holiday was indeed superb!

2] I took leave on monday, and after sending idlan to nursery, we made visits to several kitchen and bath shops, mainly for survey, but ended up buying hood+hose, 3-burner hob, and 2 remote fans. And becoz of the good bargain, we only spent less than 2k :)

3] Trapped at TTC for a 2-day Internal Audit course. Met Semah and Farrah there, and managed to catch up lots of things. The course was good despite the boring and dreary environment inside the classroom, well no blaming on the trainer, it was us who didnt participate much :p

4] and guess what, yesterday i was stranded for 2.5hrs inside the car, due to the heavy rain plus flooded roads in few areas. 2.5hrs journey from ttc to seri kembangan was indeed a record, i doubt if somebody out there can ever challenge my record :p Initially i took the mrr2 route, but upon looking there was no movement, heavy crawl and long queues, i did a u-turn and took the sg besi route. Well, that also didnt help much. Sampai kat upm, again i made another u-turn after seeing cars trapped in flood. The last decision of using cyberjaya route was the prudent choice ever made on the day. Penat sungguh makcik!

My darling baby has turned 1.5 years old, happy belated besday Idlan!

So how you've done so far?
- speech ability, not so impressive, yg clear cuma abah, mama, ball, bear, egg. Yang lelain tu bhs german dia sendiri
- you're so good at understanding and picking up instructions, syabas!
- vocab-wise, byk jugak yg idlan dah faham. He can pinpoint when we ask whats this and that. Bhgn upper up body pon dia dah tahu, like nose, ear, eyes, teeth, cheeck, mouth, hands...and not forgetting leg. But pls forgive him if you ask in malay, sori he cant asnwer u, mama tak sempat ajar dlm bm :(
- he is so fond of animals, kat tv ke kat depan mata ke, he'll pinpoint and shout "xxx" dlm bhs dia. Ada satu hari abah was just open up the gate and there were 2-3 dogs outside lazing around and idlan was about to go and sergah at the doggies..mujur abah sempat tahan dia :)
-appetite dia very poor. at times he can go crazy on porridge/spaghetti/biscuits, etc , and the day after zuppp takmo mkn langsung sampaikan mama susah hati. Am still digging up on what kind of foods he might show his perpetual interest on.
- still doesnt show interest to kick a ball. Terlalu bersopan santun agaknyer, bila angkat ball pon teramat teliti
- loves dancing, with kepala lentok kiri kanan bila dgr lagu are u sleeping are u sleeping...
- mcm suke marching, will lift up both legs alternately sambil terkangkang-kangkang
- lebih suke periuk dan besen2 mama drpd lego atau toys lain, hence his collection of toys are so limited :p
- byk lagi sebenarnya, tak terlist dibuatnye.

But one thing for sure, he's not the hot-tempered or the rebellious one. Bila marah, dia tadela sampai baling2 barang sekuat mungkin, atau menjerit sekuat hati, berguling-guling atas lantai and the likes. Paling2 pon dia babab mama, tu pon slow je, atau baling cup dia atas floor, or whatever stuffs he's holding at that time. The minute after he's back to normal hehe.

ok back to work, till then sumer. have a nice weekend ahead!

Finally im done with 2 more books this year, here's my personal comments:

1] Angels n Demons
I personally think this one is much better than DVC. The storyline is almost the same, only that this time the conflict revolves between the church and the scientist. The church, represented by those who have faith in religion, and the existence of God. They believe that miracles happen everyday, and things can happen out of nothing, as long as God permits it. With God's will, everything is possible. The scientist, on the other hand, does not believe in God. Hence, they'll try to find the meaning behind everything that happens in this world. They make research on why things happen, why this, why that, and the more they ask, the deeper they were fall into, in quest for the answers and truth. And when efforts were put up to unify the religious believer and the scientist, to prove that science is actually one of the way we can attest the existence of God, or the power beyond us i.e the human, there go the war begins. Such a fast-paced story, and u can expect the suspense and twist along the way. Somehow and rather it amazes me because at the very end of the story pon still ade twist! A very unexpected one indeed. I nearly curse myself for not figured it out beforehand huhu

I'll give 9/10 for the book, so ape lagi bacalah!

Jap nak tambah lagi, have u ever encounter a person, or a situation, whereby a person is falling sick for days, and the mother and father or the close relatives refused to seek the assistance of a doc, and refused to accept any kind of medicine or prescriptions, just because they have faith in God. and they believe that God will help them out, no matter what happen, no matter how long they wait. And when that sick person is getting worst, like it gotten him paralysed, the mother and father said, aha this is what happens to you when you dont have faith in Him. So conventional isnt it? but i think still happen in our modern world :(

Well, science is a kind of knowledge, and it works hand in hand with other things, inclusive God. God doesnt prohibit us to learn, and to seek new knowledge, for the betterment of lives. Have faith, and u know which is right and wrong.

2] The Five People U Meet in Heaven
Another good story, but doesnt really catch my interest. Well maybe because i prefer those heart-racing story more. The story tells about a dead person, that meets five different people, while he is in heaven. And those 5 people, are people that he knew and didnt knew when he was alive. Each person tells him how they were connected in the world, what were things that happen, be it he realizes it or not. And they made him to understand that his life was not a waste, and that he actually does contribute something during his lives. And believe it or not, we in this world, are intertwined with each other. Whatever things we make, surely they'll be an effect to the other, direct or indirectly. Cuba fikir bebetul, mmg betul pon. Another point to take note, in order to gain something, we must forgo something. Simple example, in order to buy food, we must fork out a few amounts of money to get it. In order to shopping (beli baju), we must take out some portion on food/other things just to get the new cloth. In order to give breastmilk to the baby and ensure the best, the moms can hardly sleep at nite. Make sense isnt it?

I'll give 7/10 for this one.

p/s: pasnih nak baca yg light-reading plaks...takmo byk2 pk dah hehe

diari weekend

Bila Ummu Auni cerita betapa happynyer Auni ada adik Afif utk bermain sama-sama, argh jelesnyer rasa. Teringat pada Idlan, kesian sayang mama. Sebab idlan pon suke berkawan. Kat umah, bila mama ngan abah penat, kami biar je idlan main sesorang...atau bukak vcd kartun kegemaran dia, dgn harapan tu dpt membantu dia. Tapi Idlan bukan jenis yg suke main sesorang. Sekejap je dia melekat, lepas tu mesti dtg balik kat mama atau abah...sama ada menyendeng-nyendeng, gesel-gesel badan, atau bawak buku the ugly ducking kat mama, suruh mama baca, atau buku abc dia, suruh mama tunjuk mana egg, mana ball, mana apple. Ada jela perkara yg dia buat utk dptkan attention dr kami, macam-macam sebenarnya. Bila mama tgh pening kepala, atau abah tgh tak sihat, atau kami tgh kepenatan, kadang-kadang kami termarah idlan...kadang suara tu ternaik sket dr biasa...ohh siannye anak mama kena marah...itula, mama ngan abah sometimes terlupa, terlupa dgn anugerah yg Tuhan dah bagi pd kami. Mama mintak maaf ye sayang.

Weekend yg baru lepas ni, mmg tersangat indah. Sabtu kami ke umah tok ngan umi, spent a day kat sana sementara abah ke klas dia. Idlan mmg happy sesgt, happy sbb ramai tukang layan. Dan yg paling terang lagi nyata, idlan teramat sayangkan pak su...pak su a.k.a satu-satunyer adik lelaki aku. Sementara pak su belum bgn, idlan bermanja-manja kat dapur ngan nek umi. Sampaikan nek umi tgh masak pon idlan mintak didukungnya, sambil tgk nek umi kacau gulai kari ikan kerapu. Kalo mama nak dukung, hehe sorila sayang..mama tak larat dah skang. Doc tak kasik :p Apa saja yg idlan nak, mesti nek umi layan. Yes nek umi mmg lembut, penyabar plak tu, mama mmg berazam agar one day mama boleh jadi ibu yg baik dan selembut nek umi. Puas bermanja ngan nek umi, idlan main ngan pak su plak. Pak su duduk atas sofa breakfast tgk tv, idlan pon nak duk atas sofa. Pak su lunch mkn fried spiral, idlan pon menyendeng kat pak su, minta disuap. Pak su ke dapur, idlan ikut, pak su ke luar, idlan ikut, sampaikan pak su nak kluar main badminton ngan kawan dia, idlan berlari ke gate tak pakai slipar nak ikut. Bila pak su pegi, idlan crying. Adui siannya anak mama..terlalu nak bermanja sgt ngan pak su. Bila pak su balik, idlan terlompat-lompat gembira. Hehehe sian anak mama, bulan 7 ni pak su nak gi sabah, pak su dpt uitm kat sana, so jaranglah idlan dpt main ngan pak su lagi. Hari tu jugak, idlan terover manja ngan tok. Sampaikan time tok baring, idlan berani naik atas badan tok main kuda-kuda. Leka bermain, idlan sampai tak tido langsung pagi tuh, bangun pagi pukul 7am, pukul 3 lebey baru dia tido. Tu pon puasla mama pujuk tido.

Hari ahad, mama ngan abah spent time kat rumah je. So one whole day fully dedicated utk idlan. Pagi mama masak spaghetti with white mushroom sauce utk idlan (idlan sejak dua menjak ni tolak nasi, nak western je hehe). Habis masak, abah isi air dlm pool idlan, then mama ngan abah kasik idlan mandi dlm pool for the first time..walaupun pool tu dah dibeli sejak bulan 3 lagi. Sambil idlan mandi, abah pegi cuci fan, mama pulak sidai kain. Mama leka sidai, bila pandang sekilas tgk2 idlan tgk syok minum air dr penyedok pasir dia tuh...minum air dlm pool tu! aduss cayang mama, kotor tau air tuh, mane bley minum. Mama mintak penyedok tu, dia tak kasik. Dia minum lagi, berkali-kali..asyik plak tu. Last2 mama rampas, terpaksa guna cara kasar. Idlan cry sekejap, ala tp kejap je, pastuh leka main blk ngan ball, baby itik, lego, etc etc. Lepas mandi, idlan breakfast mkn spaghetti, walaupun tu sebenarnye utk lunch, tp since dia tolak roti/koko krunch/etc....spaghetti pon spaghetti la janji mkn. Pastuh mama masak kat dapur utk lunch, abah naik atas buat assignment. Sambil tgk tv, sambil idlan mengemas dapur and masak bersama mama. Tapi mama berjaye jugak abiskan memasak hehe...
Then, mama nyanyi2 ngan idlan, ohh mama baru beli vcd karoake, ade 26 children education songs, oh which most of them mmg mama taknah dgr pon (abah kata kecik dulu mama x tgk tv, sbb tu tak reti nyanyi). Tapi mama cepat catch up, skang dah byk boley hafal hehe. Idlan pon menari, terhenjut-henjut, mmg dia suke dgr lagu. Kami beli vcd tu pon sbb budak nursery kata idlan suke menari dgr lagu. Penat menyanyi, mama pujuk idlan tido pukul 12. Pukul 3pm baru dia bgn. Sementara tu, sempatla mama baca angels n demons yg dah lama terbengkalai hehe.....idlan bgn, mama suap lunch, then sambung main2 lagi. Main kuda ngan abah, main kuda ngan mama, main piano, baca buku, sambung nyanyi2 lagi, tgk spongebob....hmm penuhla aktiviti hari tuh.

Kesimpulannya, mama puas. Puas dpt spent one whole day layan idlan. Layan dgn baik skali, tanpa tinggikan suara, tanpa ada marah-marah. Semuanya mama buat and layan dgn hati yg gembira. Penat buat keja rumah pon tak terasa langsung. Ajaib sungguh, tapi benar. Walaupun hari tu mama terover rajin, masak breakfast, masak lunch, basuh baju, sidai baju, sapu rumah 2x, mop lantai, angkat kain, lipat kain, the list is endless...tapi sampai skarang mama terbayang-bayang dan berpk, kenape tak penat langsung semlm? Even sakit belakang pon langsung takder. Mungkin jawapannya, kerana mama ikhlas. Dlm hati tak membebel-bebel, semuanya buat dgn rela hati. To abah and idlan, thanks for making my day...mama luvs u both sooo much!

may i have ur attention plizzz

Ello korang...another new official announcement brought to u by JJ (julie, am now answering ur question):

JJ Taman Equine - Opening date: 15th June 2006!

(according to one reliable source, they'll be great bargains waiting ahead...so must check it out!)

btw, we're not going to take a special one day leave just for that, considering the current financial level, plus the recent shopping trip in JJ IOI. However, not taking leave doesnt mean not going at all hehe...we planned to go after office hr, tagging idlan along. Plus idlan already had an appointment with his ex-nursery caretaker, who just quitted and decided to work @ JJ. Akak azie miss idlan sesangat!

Ok all, have a nice weekend ahead...am thinking to visit klcc tomorrow, bwk idlan naik keta bunyi2 :)

nsaid

Unda, these are what i got fr the net....u may comments if any of the points are not correct or accurate..btw, im taking Arcoxia, and yes its a type of nsaid, but the article says its the new generation of nsaid, and the effects slightly differ from the traditional ones, like ibuprofen and diclofenac.

( NSAID - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug )

Dyspepsia is a pain or an uncomfortable feeling in the upper middle part of your stomach. The pain might come and go, but it's usually there most of the time. Some medicines, like anti-inflammatory medicines, can cause dyspepsia.......

"NSAIDs work by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase. Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in producing prostaglandins, in response to injury or certain diseases. These prostaglandins cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Because NSAIDs block the production of these prostaglandins, they are effective at relieving pain and inflammation.

Cyclo-oxygenase does not only produce prostaglandins that cause inflammation. It also produces prostaglandins that have useful roles in the body. There are two different forms of cyclo-oxygenase, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-2 is the form that (among other things) produces prostaglandins that cause inflammation. COX-1 does not produce inflammatory prostaglandins, but does produce others that have useful effects, including some that are involved in maintaining a healthy stomach and intestinal lining.

Traditional NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or diclofenac, block the action of both COX-1 and COX-2, and this is why they can sometimes cause side effects such as stomach irritation and peptic ulcers. Etoricoxib belongs to a new generation of NSAIDs that selectively block the action of COX-2. This means that it stops the production of inflammatory prostaglandins, without stopping the production of prostaglandins that protect the stomach and intestines. It therefore reduces pain and inflammation, but is less likely than traditional NSAIDs to cause side effects on the stomach and intestines (although such side effects are still possible)."


my question, if it is really dyspepsia, any chance that it might come again in future? and what about the statement saying that the effects are less likely to cause the stomach pain? i feel a bit hesitated to call up the doc, segan plak rasa hehe, not until u give me the explanation....toche toche!

lepas satu..satu

Mungkin dah Allah nak duga kot, lepas satu...satu. Bermula ngan sakit belakang, pastuh ulcer kat dlm tekak, ulcer dah baik, tetiba last friday kena gastrik, dan hari yg sama idlan kena demam panas dan hilang suara. Aduh tragis plak rasa, mama ngan anak dua-dua org sakit, abah plak takde gi ofis kena invigilate xm.

Jumaat hari bersejarah tu, after lunch, tetiba je dlm kol 230pm aku rasa sesak nafas, sesak kat dada, rasa cam tercungap-cungap pon ader. Dada cam menyucuk-nyucuk, horror sgt rasa. Aku cuba duduk, cangkung, meniarap, baring, sumer position tak jln, makin teruk adela rasa. Dlm masa yg sama tekak rasa loya-loya (saye tidak pregnant ok :p). Beberapa kali pegi toilet cuba nak muntah tp tak kuar pepe. Idlan tgk muka aku dgn heran yg amat, sure dia pelik. Last2 aku terduduk, air mata dah kuar dah hehe. Idlan plak tetiba je demam panas ari tuh, suara dah serak2 basah, nangis pon tak brape nak dgr sbb suara cam nak hilang. Ok dipendekkan cerita, kol 630pm abah balik, terus gi klinik, doc kata aku kena gastrik. Isk pelik plak rasa, mkn taknah skip, mkn byk plak tu, cane kena gastrik eh? doc kata sakit kat ulu hati, pastuh loya2 tu, sbb angin tekan kat dada. Doc kasi ubat kunyah yg berangin dan sedap, blk umah mkn, tp still sakit yg amat, tade improvement langsung, last2 pegi blk klinik kol 830pm, doc kasik jab. Tak sampai 5 minit terus ilang segala sakit. Mama kena jab, idlan yg nangis...memula dia ok time aku baring, pastuh bila doc tutup tirai, terus dia nangis. Agaknye dia igt mama dia ilang kot hehe..cayang idlan kat mama eh!

Weekend tu, selalu bergurau ngan husband, camner eh kalo mama mati dulu? husband kata aku a bit exaggerated (sbbnyer aku dah lama tak sakit, dan takpenah kena sakit yg serius2)... tapi serius rasa cam nak mati ari tu...yela, nafas terasa pendek sgt, cam nyawa2 ikan bak kata pepatah, mmg aku dah siap2 mengucap time tu. Tapi aku ni pon satu, dlm sakit2 tu, masih cuba berlagak, cuba assume sendiri yg sakit tu sekejap je, cuba tahan diri drpd call husband minta blk umah. Tgk2 sakit dari pukul 230 ptg sampai ke mlm..padanler muka tuh :p Rupanye horror ye kena gastrik ni...lepas ni mintak2la dijauhkan tuhan drpd kena lagik skali...cukupla sekali. Teramatla sakit...susah nak describe.

Hari ni idlan dah semakin ok, pagi tadi dah tak demam. Hopefully dia ok kat nursery today. Semlm kami bwk dia jumpe paed kat sunway, risau sbb demam dia teramat tinggi, dah 4 hari, demam time mlm plak tu. Phlegm pon byk, asyik nak termuntah je dia. So kelmarin doc buat blood test, macho sungguh idlan, dia merengek kejap je time doc cucuk jarum kat tgn, time doc picit nak kuarkan darah, dia leka main toys atas meja doc tuh. Pastuh wat x ray plak, doc takut ade lung infections. Alhamdulillah both tests result clear. Doc kata demam + cough biasa, doc kasik antibiotik yg kuat sket.

Kebetulan aku ade appointment ngan doc suresh, orthopaedic kat sunway tu kelmarin, so pegila jumpe doc tu skali. Doc yg baik hati dan teramat concern tu kasik vitamin special utk nerve/joints/muscles dan ubat anti-inflammatory, of which to be taken alternately sbb sakit aku dah kurang dan aku pon rasa dah nak ok. Aku ckp kat dia takmo pegi wat physio sbb malas, dan berjanji nak wat sendiri exercise kat rumah. Dan sekali lagi dia bermurah hati menprescribekan satu hot/cold pack utk belakang aku ni walaupun aku ckp aku dah ade satu kat umah. Husband kata fuiyoo ni jenis yg mahal ni hehe...tima kasih doc yg baik hati!

My team kalah...takpela, lagipon diorang training brape ari je compared to m'sian team kan. Experience kurang, coordination kurang, passing bola pon kureng sket...cuba lagi ok. Kitorang punyerla bersemangat tgk sampai abis, even tho sebelum ni taknah tgk pon my team every selasa tuh. Dahlah idlan asyik main on off tv, aduh tension giler mlm tuh. Skang ni ntah dia dpt ilham dr mane ntah, asyik2 pegi on off tv. Jgnla kau rosak wahai tvku.

Lagi 11 hari idlan genap 1.5 yo, cakap masih lagi tak berbutir, yg paling jelas cuma abah, mama dan bear. Tapi dia cepat faham and follow instructions. Kejap je ajar, dia dah faham and bley buat. Pagi tadi pukul 330am terjaga nak susu. Mama yg mengantuk ni ckp, ok ok mama go to kitchen buat susu. Dia dgn mata tertutup pon ikut pegi dapur tgk mama buat susu heheh. Kadang bila mama lazy, dia nak susu, mama ckp ok u go to kitchen buat susu. Dia pon pegila kitchen walaupun gelap tak bukak lampu, then pinpoint kat tin susu dia. Clever anak mama!

1] Well as for my backache, i did went to see the orthopaedic, Dr Suresh George to be exact, at Sunway Medical last wednesday. He sent me for an x-ray, urine and blood test after i described my problem to him, the blood test was needed bcoz i was down for a sudden high fever the nite before. B said i must've had worried too much that the temp suddenly rose up and my body was aching all over, my legs trembled and i shivered like hell while taking shower. well, the blood test result was quite positive, only a bit of bacteria infection. Urine was clear and perfect, no viral, no bacteria whatsover. The spine? hmm i shall say i'm quite relief with the result, no slip disc, just muscle strains. He said my spine looks so tight and strain, (dlm kata lain tak relaks, terlalu rapat) things that triggers it varies, maybe because of improper posture while sitting, while picking up stuffs, u know instead of squatting down, u simply lowered ur body and terus amik benda tu, carry heavy objects (and yes my darling idlan also contributes to that i guess, he's 10kilo ++ ok), and the likes. So i went back home with 5 medicines, including the one called anti-inflammatory, that was to relax my muscle :) Plus, he sent me to 6 physiotheray sessions, of which the first one will start this afternooon after lunch. I wonder how its gonna be, hope it wouldnt bring pain that much huhu. really felt like orang tua these days...huhu malunya rasa muda-muda dah sakit belakang. Oh not to forget, the so kind doc also granted me with a 3-day mc...plus sat and sunday means i got 5 straight days rest at home.

2] the jcard day, yeay such a one-time event that was soooo hard to resist. violating his trust, i did went to jj the next day. Felt a lot better that day, dunno whether its becoz of the drugs he prescribed me was so effective, or simply bcoz of the joyous and excited mood i had that time. We spent our day fr 930am till 5.15pm, penat tak? The good thing is, we practically managed to get everything we want. things that we've been dreamt of,things that suddenly seems necessary tho not in our list, things yg gitu gini, etc Albeit we arrived early, when we went it, org dah terlalu ramai, especially kat hot spot areas, like handbag, shoes, babies area. Dlm hati berkata, mujur dtg awal hehe. The bad thing is, we barely got broke at the end of the day. Nonetheless, hati puas, tade rasa menyesal :p Back home, badan sakit all over, and baru tingat tulang belakang yg sakit ni...kat jj tadi langsung tak rasa sakit, hish teruk btul!

3] DVC tak best eh aida? mujur kitorang tak gi tgk sabtu lepas hehe...

4] the runaway jury wasnt that bad after all. i finished the book already, after 3/4 the story was getting quite ok and impressive, and the ending was so unexpected. (aku tak nyesal habiskan hehe)

5] im now embarking on the 3rd book of the yr, that is angels n demons. first 30 pages, the narrative was so like DVC..sebijik!

6]im having ulcer in my sorethroat, hence abstain me for taking solid/hot foods and drinks for the past 5 days. mkn kuih lembut pon sakit...oh dugaan allah kali ni, lepas satu, satu yg datang...but think at the positive side, lelama bley kurus kalo kurang mkn camni :p

1] Lately aku asyik rasa lenguh kat pinggang/tulang belakang jer. Tak buat keje berat pun, tapi everyday akan rasa lenguh/sakit....tak tahula nak kata camner, tp sakitla..Duk depan pc dah cuba straightkan badan se straight mungkin, tp still sakit. Call umi, tanye opinion, mungkin betul katanya, kesan epidural time lahirkan idlan dulu. Bukan satu cucuk, tapi 2 cucuk, sebabnye doc tak jumpe point time tu, susah katanya. Lepas bersalin takde plak rasa sakit, tapi recently makin menjadi-jadi. Tgh berpk, nak jumpe tukang urut ke, atau ortopedic. Risau gak, tulang belakang tu huhu...sesape yg penah amik epidural, any opinion? korang pon cam aku ker?

2] Idlan cayang mama teramatlah susah nak mkn skang ni. Tanye budak nursery, derang kata food idlan abis everyday! roti, biskut teddy ngan porridge dia abis..laju makan. Tapi kat umah time dinner, adoi punyerla liat nak mkn. Ke sana ke mari, puas di pujuk, puas dipaksa, ditepisnya tangan mama/abah. Bila mama babab tangan, dibalasnye balik exactly like what mama did, mama babab lagi dia pon babab mama balik..dia igt kite memain kot huhu. Camnerla nak tambah berat kalo sayang takmo makan. Food mama buat memacam variety, tapi sumer idlan tak heran. Sup, goreng, western-style, malay-style....sumer idlan tolak. Dunkin donut yg sodap tu pon idlan tak brape suke? hishhh musykil mama ngan abah...kitorang kuat makan, kenapela idlan tak ikut eh? hehehe

3] Baru lepas call famy, alhamdulillah baby mereka Izzul dah selamat undergo VSD heart surgery @ IJN. Skang dah stabil, tapi akan warded mungkin 7-10 hari. Doakan Izzul cepat sembuh ok!

4] Second reminder utk diri sendiri actually, J-card day lusa yer...cant wait arghhhhh!

5] Baru 5:10pm? lagi 20 minit? Adus bosannyer mama help!

6] Runaway Jury bosan...tp kena paksa diri habiskan jugak huhu...another calling for help!!! isk isk

a wish to all the mothers in the world...

1] Hytex Town is having a baby fair from 11th May till 2xth May. Wide array of babies apparels,
discount up to 50%
2] J card Day @ IOI Mall Puchong this coming Thursday, the 18th. Dont forget!

The Runaway Jury

The Runaway Jury by Grisham becomes my second book of the year!

That after my two attempts to purchase online thru mph failed yesterday. Dont know what happen, whether it was really not my luck, or the website itself was bengong. First try, my explorer window disappeared after i clicked payment. Second time, the pop up message notified authentication failed. Lucky they dont charge double to my account. Nevertheless, it was a bit frustrating. Keciwa giler rasa, thought i'd able to make my very first online purchase in history, tp tak berjaya huhu. Maybe aini and aida were right, perhaps i shd just walk in to the store and pay for whatever books i want, no online, no waiting for 14 days delivery whatsoever. Just grab the book, go back home, settle in your couch, and READ hehe

Back at home, i told this to hubby, and for a moment he disappeared upstairs. Rupanya he was looking for a book for me to read hehe...so here comes the runaway jury. Habis nnt i'll share the gists of the book okeh.

besday sape hari ni eh?

Happy 17 months old birthday to Idlan comel!
Mama n Abah luvs u forever muahhhhhs

Da Vinci Code

The book indeed worth the time spent on it.

And me, the one who never reads book after 3-4 years back had actually finished it within a week. Such an accomplishment i'd say hehe. Interesting flow, swift and smooth changing of plots and chaps, no dragging, but the most that shall catch our interest, are the codes! Code within codes, the story led us to so much secrets yet to be unveiled. Im wondering whether malaysia also has such a profession called cryptographer, the one responsible to decipher codes. And i noticed my heart even pounded several times as i read along the lines, as if i were parts of the characters inside the book hehe. I guess dan brown never failed to create thrill and suspense till the end of the book, and that's what i like about him.

So for those who likes riddles, who enjoys uncover the underlying meaning behind words, wants to feel the thrill of revealing the truth, u shd try it!

I look fwd for another Dan Brown's work, Angels and Demons..or maybe a walk to remember and angela's ashes.

Tiba-tiba muncul satu azam baru, iaitu menyemai kembali minat membaca yg semakin pupus di dlm diri ini. Maka, first action taken last week, membeli novel karya Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code. Kenapa da vinci code? hehe tiada sebab terperinci, cumanya terasa cam citer tu glamer, yela aini baca, aida baca, kaezrin baca...so i suppose citer tu sure best bangat :) i've never read dan brown's, hence i placed no expectation as to how the flow of the book, or the storyline shd go...harap2 berjaya menghabiskannya...sekarang baru di page 59, means another 545 pages to go. it seems i've abandoned my readings on several books halfway years ago....so this time definitely it's gonna take quite some time to finish up hoho

Kalau nak idlan pandai n rajin membaca, mama kena tunjukkan contoh yg baik betul tak? nampak gaya idlan pun cam berminat ngan novel ni, rajin dia belek2 novel ni hehe...

pesanan utk diri sendiri: kalo boleh duk depan pc berjam-jam tgk citer korea, apa kata tukar plak, duduk senyap2 berjam-jam spend time membaca buku ahaks :p

To the MOST wonderful person in the world,

1] Happy Birthday 2 U sayang!

Semoga kehidupan hari ini akan terus disinari cahaya kebahagiaan dan mendapat

rahmat dariNya. Dan semoga kebahagiaan yang dikecapi pada hari

ini akan terus berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat kita. Sayang awak selalu muahhhhss!

2] Happy Birthday Abah!

Loves,

Mama & Idlan

Today is such a good day for us. We went to sjmc this morning for idlan's follow up and dressing. It was amazing to see the hole on his left chest is getting smaller, means new tissues underneath the skin have developed. we anticipate the wound will be recovered completely in a week, insya allah. And oh for my personal record, he weighs 10.3++kg today...yeah he doesnt show much increment since he turned 1. Takper, mama kena put on more efforts after this. Lately he shows interest in biscuits, like oreo, biskut tiger...hope that can help aparts from his regular 2 times rice meal, roti krim 50sen for breakfast and coco pops.

He now understands a few instructions already, tho he only speaks a few words. He goes to kitchen when we ask him to wash his mouth/hands, heads to toilet when we mention the word 'mandi', lift up his legs and hands time bukak baju, go and search for his balls, search for tv remote, look up to the sky when i mention the word 'bird', knows which are pokok, which are flowers, etc...but his favourite toy recently guess what? mama's brown shoes! he takes the shoes from the rack, bring it here n there, and last few days i lost one of the shoes....only later to found out the shoe was safely kept inside his toy box :p And oh yes, he's so excited whenever he sees dogs, cats and babies, be it in reality, or in tv. I think he might as well chase the dog whenever he bumps into that animal...hish harap2 dijauhkan :) He rarely throw things now, maybe he understands the word 'dont throw' that we say to him, hence he'll place hp, toy,biscuits, tv remote or whatever he holds at that time on the floor/table when he doesnt want that anymore. One last note, never ever let him see the vitamin bottle, else he wont go away, not until you give him one or two...

the bonus? hmm 70% of it now safely tucked in TH. the rest bolehlah dienjoykan hoho

yada yidi yuduuuu

Finally the announcement was out! alhamdulillah for the rezeki given :) tho i only settled for an average level, but still im getting something instead of nothing. the wish list was quite long, but i think the new house deserved a huge proportion from it. And not forgetting my dear sweetie hunny bunchy baby idlan hehe...tak sabar mama nak gi j card day.....nak beli buku, toys, baju, etc etc....myself and b? hmm allocate 5-6% cukup la kan b kan :p

my darling b was down for sore throat, fever and flu since last saturday....hope he's getting better and will be doing fine in his interview today...all the best to u!

safurah/ilish - thanks to u both, he got the offer! i was informed that the interview was just for formality purposes hehe

the surgery

Ok sumer, i'm back. The surgery was done with success. And he's now safely staying at home with his abah taking care of him today. Sayang, if u happen to read this one day, mama so sorry for not being able to stay besides u today, mama really cant afford to take any more leave. But u dont worry, am sure u know that your abah is really good and skillful at taking care of small baby like u, and maybe u dont remember that the person that took most care of u during the early days since u were born was ur great abah...he bathed u, changed u, cleaned u...etc etc...so mama guess that already justified my action though it was actually very hard for mama to step out of the house and leave u, lucky that the sesame street story that was playing on the tv somehow locked u in front of tv and mama can sneaked out without u even notice me hehe

The surgery took place on wed the 19th, as planned. Unlike any other patients, mama carried u all the way from the ward to the surgery theatre, instead of u being wheeled on the movable hospital bed. U cried your heart out when the time has came for mama to handed over u to the nurse, just before u entered the OT. That was around 8.45am. And mama, though has been trying so hard to withhold my tears and be strong, had finally broke into tears when seeing u crying and wailing for me. Mama's feeling that time, it was indescribable. Mama went out and joined abah inside the waiting room, recited yassin and doa for you. And about 915am, the nurse called us. Mama went inside to look for u, and that time the nurses was just about to put on your diapers. You look a bit drowsy and crying, and mama knows u were damn hungry and thirsty since u have been fasting for nearly 12 hours since 10pm the night before. After that mama carried you to the ward, and tried to sleep u since the nurse said u must be tired and drowsy because of the anaesthetic effect before. But u kept on crying non-stop, showing ur fingers towards the bottles and thermos containing water. Mama and abah, we both worked so hard to calm and comfort u but nonetheless we failed and u became wild and cried hysterically. The doc and nurse said u can only drink a lil bit of water an hour after the op. God we felt helpless for not being able to help and soothe u, waiting for that one hour to pass was really suffering and macam biasa, mama cried, yes i cried for i couldnt even do anything to release your pain and suffers. An hour passed, and we gave u 1 oz of plain water, after seeing u not vomitted, we gave u another 6 oz of milk and after finishing ur milk, u finally fell asleep. U woke up after 1.5hr of sleep, and after that mama's strong son became normal again. U smiled, u giggled, u played and run all over the room...and yeah mama doesnt think ppl would know that this child was actually just finished his op ehhehe...terima kasih ya allah.

Alhamdulillah, ur apetites back to normal, u almost finished the large bowl of fish porridge that they served u during lunch n dinner time. U walked and run inside-outside the room, u watched tv as usual, u talked and strike a conversation with us as usual, and yes everything was back to normal. But the suffering came again everytime the nurses came for dressing ur wound. Mama hopes u can bear the pain for the next 1-2 weeks everytime we need to go for dressing ok. Do u know that the doc and nurses actually praised u? they said u were such a very strong boy, u never cried when the nurse took a sample of ur blood, u never cried and struggled when they gave u medicines, and u didnt even struggled to free yourselves everytime they did dressing. They said other boys might already kicking and jumping out of the bed when the nurses were about to do the dressing and u, the brave boy of mine, never did that. u see how strong u are? we both are very proud of u :)

Ok, mama has to stop now...u make sure to behave and dont create trouble to your abah ok. and u must finish the ikan haruan soup that mama made for u this morning. I shall tell you that u'll be on the ikan haruan menu for the whole one week ahead hehe...but it tastes good trust me, tambah2 mama yg masak lagikla sedappp!
Recapping this whole story really saddened me, and mama actually cried a few times when i wrote this...semoga anak mama tabah slalu! mama ngan abah sayanggggggggg idlan! And thank u so much to everyone out there, for the calls, smses, messages, prayers, etc...really appreciate that :)

anak oh anak

A'kum semua...

hmm at last ari ni aku masuk ke ofis setelah 10 hari bertapa di rumah...well last week mmg kami blk kampung di junjung kedah. Selasa sampai kl. Dan hari selasa last week bermulalah episod anak oh anak :p

Permata hati kami idlan kena bisul. Mulanya kami x sangka itu bisul, sbb a day before balik kg kami cuma tgk macam ade bekas kena gigit nyamuk pd dada kirinya. Kecik sesgt, merah pon sket jer. 4 hari lepas tuh barulah nampak dada dia bengkak sket, tu pon kami igt biasa jer...sangka kami serangga special yg gigit idlan, so kami just sapu mosquito cream dan minyak gamat. Selasa blk kl, on the way back tetiba dia demam. Very high fever, so kami bwk ke klinik ari rabu. Doc ckp dia kena bisul, sbb dah bengkak sgt dada dia...tp takdelah membonjol macam bisul, cuma merah. Khamis pagi, semasa aku nak bgn solat, tgk ada tompok2 darah kat baju dia...rupanye bisul tu dah pecah..mungkin terpecah sbb dah masak atau sbb idlan tido meniarap. Bawa dia ke klinik sekali lagi, kali ni doc buat dressing..picit nanah2 tu kuar...masya allah idlan nangis punyerla kuat...kami cuma mampu pegang tgn n kaki dia...siannye tgk dia...sayu hati kami. Byk giler nanah+darah kuar...blk rumah temperature idlan terus drop, demam terus ilang..rupanye dia demam sbb bisa bekas bisul tu.

3 hari pagi dan ptg kami ke klinik buat dressing...every time dressing idlan akan nangis kuat giler...sakit yg amat for sure..sian dia...after 3 hari nanah masih tak berenti..at last on friday doc refer ke specialist. Sabtu kami ke sjmc jumpa paed surgeon dr zul. Doc masukkan sejenis kapas special ke lubang tpt bisul tu utk serap nanah. Doc suruh dtg blk on monday utk kuarkan balik kapas tu, if still ade nanah, maka kena undergo minor surgery utk buang pockets2 of nanah di sekeliling area affected tuh. Dgr je surgery, ish cuak kami...idlan kecik lg, kalaulah terpaksa proceed ngan surgery tu...god tak dpt kami bayangkan. Isnin, pegi lg ke sjmc, doc kuarkan kapas, cfm masih ade nanah. Maka esok, rabu 19/4, doc akan buat minor surgery ke atas idlan, utk buang segala nanah2 yg ade, clear infected area and tissues dan sebagainya. Rasa nak luluh jugak hati bila mendengarnya, idlan baru 16 mths, dah kena OP. Sedeynyer rasa...kalaulah sakit tu boleh dipindahkan kpd aku, aku rela...tp Dia yg maha kuasa, segalanya ditentukan olehNya. Kelmarin dekat 5 jam kami bertapa kat sjmc, lepas jumpa doc, pegi ke admission counter utk book ward. Malam ni, bakal menjadi malam ketiga mama dan abah akan tido di sjmc selepas 16mths yg lepas di mana idlan dilahirkan kat sini...idlan kena berpuasa mlm ni...tp aku pon tak sure puasa macam mana. Kena tunggu doc ckp camner. Esok op akan dilakukan around 1130am oleh dr zul, paed surgeon...idlan akan diberi GA thru gas..bius whole body...dan kami takleh masuk temankan dia iskkkkk sedeynyer! Even though doc kata op tu cuma around 10 min, and it is minor, but still it's going to be an operation! poor child, isk cian baby mama...sapela yg gigit idlan sampai jd camni.

So kpd kengkawan dan pembaca blog tersayang, doakanlah agar idlan selamat dlm surgery esok pagi. And saye mungkin akan sambung bercuti sampai bila..ntahla tak sure lagi hehe...tapi kalo orang tgk idlan berlari ke hulu ke hilir, main kejar2 ngan bebudak lain kat sjmc kelmarin, sure tak sangka yg budak ni nak kena op esok pagi hehe...alhamdulillah dia masih aktif, mkn pon selera...physically dia nampak ok, cuma nanah tu jela masih ade lagi...kalo tak buang takut spread ke tpt2 lain plak.

ok sekian updates buat kali ni, rasa janggal plak dah lama tak masuk opis. Datang today ni pon sbb nak jimat cuti huhu..dan nak tgk maps...tp malangnye taleh masuk...tp rasanye dpt average je kot....alhamdulillah rezeki la tu kan....ikutkan hati nak stay temankan idlan...cian dia menangis kuat giler bila mama tinggal dia pagi tadi isk isk...wassalam.

p/s: lupa plak, aini, aku dah dpt offer letter mmu :p kalo ade email dr HR cecepat sms aku ok!

obsessi posessi

Pelik ke tajuk kat atas tuh? tp itulah hakikatnyer baru-baru ini....si anak teruna ku itu sudah mendevelop satu behaviour di mana dia tersangatlah obsess dgn mamanya (mungkin seperti si imanus tigerus yg obsess pd umminyer hehe) Mama sedikit sebanyak terasa banggala jugak sbb si anak nampak terlalu sayangggg pd mamanya, tp dlm masa yg sama, terasa sedikit rimas. Kenapa rimas? Sebab, ke mana saja mama pergi dia akan ikut. Mama basuh pinggan, dia ikut ke dapur sembam kat bontot n belakang mama, mama duk atas sofa dia marah suruh turun bwh duk ngan dia atas floor, mama baring dia marah suruh bgn, mama manja2 ngan abah pon dia marah tarik2 abah...hatta mama ke toilet membuat projek pon dia nak ikut! Adusss idlanku sayang, kenapa jadi sampai camni sekali ek? nak kata mama terover manjakan dia, tak jugak. Sama je treatment ngan abah. Sekarang ni asyikla melepek atas riba mama. Mama naik atas nak mandi pon dia bley nangis isk isk...

Ha sekarang ni dia dah pandai buat trick...nangis olok-olok. Kalau tak dpt ape yg dia nak, tak puas hati ke ape ke, dia akan pura-pura nangis. Bukak mulut luas-luas, mata jadi kecik, pastuh keluarlah bunyi nangis pura-pura tuh. Kekadang sampai keluar air mata. Tak tahula air mata palsu ke original hehe. Tapi bunyi nangis olok-olok tu..iskk tersangatlah menduga kesabaran kami berdua. Bingit tahu tak hehe...geram pon ade bila dengar tuh. Pastuh bley plak dia stop sendiri...kadang takyah pujuk pon dia senyap sendiri. Aduhai anak, lenkali tolonglah jgn buat bunyi2 camtuh lagik, mama ngan abah rasa tersangatlaaaa geram :p

Sekarang dia ada satu habit baru, gonggong botol susu/air masak. Walaupun susu dah abis, dia still mahu gonggong and hisap...isk hisap anginla kiranya tuh. Sampaikan mama or abah terpaksa rampas secara ganas botol tuh haha...nangis kejap je..pastuh ok balik..like i said, nangis olok-olok :p

lusa kami akan balik kampung tok di kedah..lama dah tok ngan tok wan tak tgk idlan...tak pernah tgk idlan jalan lagi....doakan kami selamat sampai yer!

7 Weird Habits

aini, here goes mine...pening tau nak pk :p

1] i cant stand looking at messy living room. will collect whatever toys/stuffs tossed around by idlan and put it back at where it shud belongs to. and this will be repeated again n again as n when the toys get scattered phewwww lotih den

2] i love flipping thru my fotopages..its becoming my everyday routine actually, looking at idlan's pics is more like a therapy to counter the 'boringness' at the office hehe

3] i'll go for tomyam whenever i catch headache or migraine...be it tomyam plus plain white rice, or maggi tomyam pon belasah jer, janji tomyam! somestimes i'll get better, sometimes the headache still persist, but i still think tomyam as the best medicine ever!

4] it's a new habit actually...i'll ensure not to miss eating the delicious Hwa Tong chipsmore biscuits in the pantry. the biscuits taste good, more or less the same like the original Chipsmore, many chips, cheap somemore, what else r u looking for rite? setin costs u only rm36, murah kan?

5] me no good at keeping whatever long term memory i used to had in life, hence explains why i study last minute like mad. but still i'll go to sleep by 12am midnite tho i didnt manage to catch up the whole syllabus, praying and keep soothing myself with this sentence...taper taper, soklan tu sure takkan kuar punyer esok! so far tips ni menjadi alhamdulillah hehe

6] i'll become the most LAZY BUM daughter whenever i go to my mom's house..sbb sumernya mak tolong buat :P but back at home, definitely i'll be the busiest mom/wife in the house, unpack brg, mop lantai, sapu lantai, lipat kain...bla bla bla...hish never ending chores la basically kan kan?

7] i set my hp alarm at 610am, and when it rings, i'll switch it off, back to sleep, and automatic terjaga around 630am..amazing rite..tapi merbahaya kalo terlajak hehe

Horas Horas Horas!!!

Horas horas horas!!! That was part of the language we learnt from our tourist guide during our visit to Medan. We left home around 615am, went to mmu to park our car and got a good friend of B to send us to airport. Arrived klia at 730am, rushed to the counter to check in our luggage, then headed down to Gate 10 for flight to Medan. We had about 15 min before the flight departure and still we managed to 'mandikan koboikan' idlan, with me and B went into the same toilet (ladies to be specific :p). And yes thanks to AA, those tagging their babies along got the priority, hence we faced no trouble to board the plane :)

It took just about 40min to arrive the Polonia Airport in Medan, and our dear son behaved so well inside the flight...cayanggg Idlan! and i think he didnt had the ear pain when we were about to touch down, no cry at all..macho anak mama :) And there the tiring journey was about to begin...jeng jeng jeng...(penat woo)

DAY 1 (Medan-Parapat)
After meeting our tourist guide, Pak Anwar, we board a bus heading to Parapat (4-hr journey). Stopped at Siantar for 'kaum ibu-ibu' shopping langsir. My mum really got herself a good bargain, it only costs her RM220 for 2 peices of curtain (for sliding door), pleated, plus sewing charge. And we got enough time to lay back and rest in that air-cond shop before continue the long-hr journey to Parapat. Idlan siap main lari2 lagi dlm kedai tu, mmg dia syok duk dlm kedai langsir tuh. We arrived at Parapat late afternoon, around 6pm, checked in at Danau Toba International Cottage, and lepas dinner terus sleep! sesungguhnyer hari yg teramat exhausted utk kitorang huhu

DAY 2 (Parapat-Berastagi)
After breakfast at hotel, we boarded a big boat, crossing the beautiful and magnificent Lake Toba, and stopped at one of the island at the middle/edge of the lake, that is Samosir Island. Visited kampung org2 batak, called Kampung Ambarita and Tomok. We could get plenty of souvenirs over here, range from t shirts, skirts, caps, hand-wooden crafts, etc etc...but do ensure you got a good negotiator by your side to counter the bargain to the max ehehehe...they org2 batak pon pandai nego tau! We just bought a t-shirt for idlan and a bunch of keychains. It was frightening since a few dogs were scattered around here n there, and one of the dog passed by just next to me selamba dek jer..hish mujur tak kena samak. Pak Anwar took us to tpt org2 batak adakan upacara memancung, and apart from that n the souvenir shops, there was nothing much at the island.
We continued our journey to Berastagi, which took us another 4-5 hr journey..penat giler duk dlm bas! On the way to Berastagi, we stopped by at Simajarunjung, a place well-known for its ginger tea. The weather here was so cold, hence tourists were suggested to drink the ginger tea to heat up the whole body. A cup of tea, plus a free goreng pisang costs us RM3. And me, the one yg tak suke halia, never even dare to have a sip of it hehe...
Ok sambung perjlnan lagi, stopped at Sipiso Piso waterfall, but we didnt get down of the bus because of rain. My brother bought a sweater, nicely knitted, for only RM8 for his darling Hana because of the frequent rain ever since we got here. Arrived at Danau Toba Cottage hotel around 7pm, and as usual after dinner terus dozed off berselimut tebal (hotel ni takde air cond, tp sejuk bangat tak hingat!)

DAY 3 (Berastagi-Medan)
Pegi Pasar Buah, nama je pasar buah but apart fr selling fruits, there were lots of souvenirs with even good bargains than the one we could get at samosir island. Plus ppl here didnt chase and force us to the max like the one in the island, so bley bershopping ngan tenang sket hehe. Kat sini basically they sell the same things like other places, tshirt, caps, hand crafts, table runner, pen, etc etc....so here we spent money on idlan's vest/sweater, snow cap, table runner made of kayu lidi, and cap abah...sweater idlan yg lawa tu pon baru RM8 hish murah bangat dong! Then bertolak ke Medan town, stopped by at the curtain shop to pick up my mum's curtain, bought few pieces of embroidered kain ela utk myself, mum, MIL, and SIL, and not forgetting kain pelikat 'samarinda' for ayah and BIL. Our journey continued to Kedai Batik Danarhadi, which was more like an exclusive boutique, and we left the shop bought nothing eheheh sumer memahal beb. Last visit was the Medan Mall, the biggest shopping complex in Medan town but much smaller than our favourite Midvalley :p
Again here there was nothing interesting, i was hoping to spend most of my money here but instead none catched our interest huhu...igt nak sambar handbag ke kasut ke, but the range of brands on racks were not that popular at all..huhu sedey sedey..nyesal tak shopping bebyk kat tpt2 sebelum ni hehe. We got to fill our stomach with Mc D, here they serve fried chicken with rice, they have spaghetti, they have sundae chocolate served in cute plastic glass, and majority of them mkn nasi kat mc D hehe. Our last night here were spent at Garuda Plaza Hotel, it was rated as 3-star but if u look at the pics, it was almost like a 4 star hotel in kl.

DAY 4
tade ape yg menarik, pas breakfast terus gi airport nak blk KL...bubye medan...this will be our first and the last :p. Feel free to visit http://peruzyatee.fotopages.com

note:
- medan best utk kaki shopping, be it utk yg kaya raya, atau sederhana cam kita2 ni...
- not recommended to those who wish to tag along your baby..sbb perjlnan fr one place to another gonna took u about 4-5 hrs..such a long and tiring journey! anak sure ngamuk dlm bas nanti hehe...tp idlan good, dia ngamuk kekadang je time nak tido, the rest dia behave jer :)
- jgn gopoh nak beli brg, try bargain sehabis-habisan, sbb sumer tpt jual almost the same stuffs
- food sedap2, try carik restaurant masakan minang/padang. Ni highly recommended: restoran Istana Rest kat Parapat. Serve 10 jenis lauk yg sumenyer lazat-lazat!
- kat sini yg kaya tu betul2 kaya, rumah cam villa, cam istana. Keta hebat2 belaka, majority pakai toyota..unser paling byk kat sini...al maklum kat sini takde cukai pak!
- org indon yg nak travel outside indon kena bayar fiscal tax 1 juta Rp, that equals to RM400! ni government imposed, sbb sape yg kaya2 je bley travel luar indon kan...hehe giler mahal. Tapi sape yg miskin pon terpaksa bayar gak kalo nak ke luar negara...
- toilet kat sini dipanggil 'kamar kecil'. Kalo sebut tandas org tak paham.
- jgn lupa bwk sweater, kat berastagi tptnyer sejuk bangat seh!
- jgn layan org2 yg menjual kalo takmo beli brg dia, jgn pandang langsung, kalo idak sure dikejarnyer tourist dr satu place ke satu place ngan motor...pathetic betul.

1] Congratulations to Farra and Deman for the newborn baby girl. I received the good news fr Farra's sms on 6.30 in the morning...hehe awalnyer sms eh! The baby weighed 3.2kg, and was safely delivered at Pusat Perubatan Naluri, KL at 2.55am 20/3/2006. Mus'ab dah dpt adik...jaga adik bebaik ok, kena cayang adik tau!

2] Idlan still hasnt fully recovered from his cough and cold since last friday...and we intend to go to another clinic this evening to get another different set of medicine for him. Hope he'll get better soon, as we'll be off to medan tomorrow morning. B mentioned that this whole week will be rain and storm in medan according to the weather forecast...iskkk what a bad news..hope things wouldnt be as bad as i can think of rite now huhuhuhu. Kalo idak hancur punah harapan cuti-cuti mesia ku ini isk isk...(poketku dah penuh ngan berjuta-juta rupiah dah ni :p)

3] sooo itu sajela buat ari ni..will be back for more updates on medan and a short review on the new LCC in klia...till then, have a nice weekend ahead all!

.....eh lupa (this is more like luahan perasaan tak puas ati)....

"to my 'beloved' brother, if u happen to read this, hehe tahniah la eh kerana berjaya pujuk umi belikan hang motor...cis hampeh...5A pon dpt motor...kalaulah kak nur duk dlm umah tu, jgn harap hang bley dpt ok! wekkk wekk wekkkkk.......(grrrrrr geram geram geram)

love,
kak nur yg hebat :p

1] pau yatipruzz/pruzzyati...pelbagai version ader, but last weekend's version were kaya and strawberry jem fillings hehe..pelik tak?



2] budak yg tgh blur dan kepenatan selepas mengexplore seluruh rumah dgn mama and abah...



......dan dia juga adalah budak yg sama yg telah menyembamkan muka ke bon*** seorang salesgirl cina di parkson, metro kajang semasa bermain 'hide n seek' dgn mama...imagine betapa malunya mama dia time tuh huhuhu

3] Im glad that i've finished the story...16 episodes altogether, and i was able to finish watching it within a week! what an achievement hehehe. Unfortunately (ke fortunately sebenarnyer :p), there's another one new story entitled 'Goong' stored in our server, and the inner part of self still battling whether to watch it or not. It's kind of hard to stop once you've started...im telling you, the force is too strong ok!

4] another 4 days to go...yeahh!!!

1] i should be able to finish the story within this week...there's another four more episodes to go and after that i can happily go home, not to think about what's gonna happen next and next. Heeesshhh sape yg tak tgk lagi, this one is highly recommended, the story, the leads, the supporting casts, the song...sumernyer sweet ok! I've never got myself into these so-called 'demam citer korea' after the famous winter sonata, autumn in my heart and full house long long ago. ..yeah not until a colleague of mine recentlyoffered to download the stories from her pc nyeh nyehhh

2] we now know the trick of how to make idlan from stop bothering either of us...'bothering' here could means disturbing his mama doing house chores, wailing for no reason when mama is bz putting on her tudung, kacau2 bila either of us tgh mkn, etc etc...
So what we need to do is to SAY this: "idlan, where's your ball? idlan, go and take your ball...atau ckp in bm pon boley, "idlan, mane ball mane ball? ha pegi carik ball".

p/s: asal dgr perkataan ball je, dia akan terus pegi carik ball dia hehehe...so terus x jadi kacau kitorang :)

my girl

I rarely left my blog unattended, not until recently when i was hooked up with this one korean drama series entitled "My Girl". It was amazing when you actually find yourself really eager to go to work, merely because there's something awaits for u there....and that was happening to me started from last week :)

But bear in mind, you can only spare ur time watching the series when you really doesnt have pending works to settle ok! Like my case, i watch it while answering calls and coordinating my dockets..both done in efficient manners cewahh jgn jeles arr.

I'll be back with more stories when am free :p

nurhilyati, your colour is BROWN!

Brown
You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

the weekend

Unlike usual, our recent weekend was spent staying at home, no outing to malls whatsoever. But still we went to alamanda on friday to get the usual household stuffs and pampers for idlan. He made a short scene at the escalator, crying and wailing to get onto the moving escalator, maybe he thought that 'moving thingy' is interesting to play with. Abah dragged him away from that, and as expected, tunjuk perasan berlaku sebentar :p

On saturday and sunday, mama, the one that gets over excited on the new recipes she collected in the internet, tried two new recipes, that were baked macaroni and chicken pie. The macaroni was splendid, but the chicken pie was a bit frustrating on the pastry part. The pastry got cracked here and there, though abah had put his best effort to fold it into nice calzone shape like the one we can get at pizza hut. So here was the result (see pic). I really have to find better pastry recipes next time.


chicken pie




baked macaroni




On evening, for the first time ever we brought idlan to the playground nearby. He was a bit stone and blur initially, but later on he quickly got over it and played cheerfully. Next time kita pegi lagi ok!

bile mama rajin...

Last night instead of settled in front of tv watching my favourite Natasha, i made my third muffin of the week, that was apple and walnut muffin (see pic). Last saturday i've tried chop chips muffin and banana muffin, recipes courtesy of Farra. But as usual, all recipes been amended accordingly using my logical sense hehe...i really couldnt stick with what was written in the paper and the result, hmm truly satisfying!



Apple & walnut muffins
(makes 11 cups only)

and last but not least...the all-time feveret choc chips muffin!
