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!

12 June 2006

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!

22 May 2006

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

16 May 2006

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

15 May 2006

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.

10 May 2006

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.

03 May 2006

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

28 April 2006

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

24 April 2006

yada yidi yuduuuu

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!
