A Bad Habit

When reading is no longer considered a good habit:

Reading The FB's Newsfeed

My love for reading is something weird even to myself. I will stop to read (or try to read) any written things that come across my eyes. I mean literally almost all things, even in language that is alien to me, I will try to read it (Haha (laugh) or Huhu (cry)?). Whether i understand it or not will be a second matter.

Blame it on the active facebook users who keep on sharing so many interesting topics, new info, hot news, gossips and scandals.. or blame it on my own fingers which seems so itchy to scroll up and down my phone screen. Perhaps, we can put the blame on that high speed broadband thingy that gives me access to many things and enable me to view movie clips without the lagging, buffer time.

Please do not blame me for being silent all these while, i have been busy readings. Not until my other half asked me when would i start writing back perhaps on journal of our children's development so that one day they may refer to my writings here about them, or my non-stop babbling about this issue and that matter.. Not to mention on that many times i loudly vowed my intention to write , write, write and record things that happen in my daily life.. Thus serving the purpose of this blog's creation awhile ago.

Since the engine has been kept cold for quite a while, believe me it takes a while to warm up. I will have to ensure to stick up that mental note on my brain - Write, as 'Like' in facebook is not a post. Share, not to pleased but for exchange of knowledge. Enthusiasm. not to die cold as the journey is still long... InshaAllah.

2 years of Parenting

I found out that i never tell this story here..
Perhaps for a record, when one day i might not remember it this clearly anymore.. I may be able to refer it here..

I vividly remembered the series of events on the very same date last 2 years...

It was in the holy month Ramadhan..
My parents in law just came back from Umrah, and i was heavily pregnant on my 36th ++ week. Due to that plus hectic busy week for both of us, we have no chance to pay them a visit, even when they were on transit at the KLIA. On Friday's morning 4th Sep, my mother gave us a call that my parents will come to visit us over the weekends. Considering that someone will be around to see me, my husband decided to fly back home town for two nights.

We went to send him at the airport on Saturday evening, and headed back to KL. I remembered we bought the famous sate at Nilai on our way back.. oh, by the way this sate is the same sate if you are on board of MAS first class or business class seat. Unfortunately, the seats are beyond our budget but the sate from the supplier is affordable to people like us.. :p

It was on the evening of Sunday, 6th September that i felt lesser movement from the baby inside my womb. I was not that worried, thought that perhaps the baby was grown up and bigger now that the space for him/her was lesser. But, that was the only movement i felt for the last 5-6 hours that made me really worry. I kept on tapping my fingers on the big huge belly while whispered to the baby inside 'please make some move so that i wont be too worry about your condition'.. After almost half and hour, the baby made some small movement. Nights before sleep were usually the most active time for the baby to move, but not this time which was the reason for my worries.

7th September 2009 was the public holiday for Selangor for Nuzul alQuran. It was 17th Ramadhan, and my check up date. The worries that i had the night before, made me unable to properly sleep. Thus, i became the first person to visit my doctor that morning. Her office opens at 9.00 am, but i was there since 8.30am. and still fasting. Accompanied by my father.
It felt so long, time has stop to wait for her. It seems forever... When at last the doctor came in at about 10.00 am claimed that she had few labours since last night to take care of. My heart was both pumping fast and relieved to see her.

After some questions asked by her.. included where was my husband. I told her that he is coming back on that night, with my mind reminded me that i must grab myself the doughnut at the airport when we fetch him later (he is supposed to fly back by fireflies, subang). So the doctor asked me to lay down and said "Doktor nak check ye. Kalau bukaan dah 3cm, kita tahan masuk wad terus ye"..

Mind you, that i was expecting a one week mc from the doctor (she promised me on my previous visits heeh); where in my 1-week plans included preparation for the hospital bag, bag to hometown, what type of medication to use to face the labor pain and learn how to give labor. Yes, you read it right.

Guest what? Suddenly the doctor said "Eh.. dah buka 4cm ni.. tak rasa apa2 ke".. i was like, whatttt? oh no.. hubby is not around... oh my.. and the conversation went like this:

Pn Kompius: Apa maksudnya tu doktor?
Dr : *blank mula2* awak dah nak beranak la ni..
Pn Kompius: Err saya dah kena masuk wad sekarang ke doktor?
Dr: Haah la.. kan saya dah ckp tadi..

So it was quite a panic situation (but funny now i think). Rushed to call my dad whom doctor wanted to meet. Doctor prepared all the necessary documents for me to get into the labor room. I called my husband at about 10.30am told him i am about to explode hahaha. He went to become Mr Kompius now asking me what to do, and i told him please come back as soon possible. Then rushing to the airport to check the earliest flight to KL.

I went back to pack up my bag, brought to the hospital. Where in the labour room, i put on the wrong side of the maternity dress. Sorry ye, tak tahu ..tak habis belajar hahaha. Then i opened my laptop with intention on googling 'how to give labour' but realized there was no internet connection. Later, i held my handphone while thinking who can i refer to this time around. I called Siti Zurina told her that i was in the labor room and do not know what to do now.. Asked for her advice, but instead she told me "ala..camne aku nak ajar ni.. ko redah ajelah". hahah

my husband reached the hospital at about 5.50pm. i was almost crying because i thought that i might deliver the baby without him around. dont feel much pain until the doctor came in at about 10.30pm . she told me that it was already 7cm and the water bag broke. so funny that i asked her before if she wants to induce me. remember, i tak habis belajar tadi. and she said no, your water bag will break soon. i heard the 'ploop' sound and water came out. nurse came in asking me if i would like to have any medicine, and i said what are they? hahahah so tak tahu konon2 amiklah option natural.

it was almost 12 mid night that i started to feel the real pain. My legs were shaking to handle the pain. Wow.. takleh tahan, so i requested for a help. Nurse came in and inject me with something. Pethidine kah kawan2? Gitulah rasanya. I did not realized when i felt asleep and suddenly had a weird dream..

I was in the animal kingdom. Where the king is a fierce lion that eat meat, and the bodyguards are all big, black, horror snakes that can eat you just like that.. it was in a group of 'small and fragile' animals consists of cow, buffalo, goat, fish, turtle, kancil..telling each other how hard life has been that the water is almost out, the grass dried out, tanah 'kering kontang' and there is little food around.. In order for survival, we must see the king. But to go to the place where the people eat 'people' like us is scary enough. We go anyway, for the sake of others. But some of them are hiding behind.. When the lion asks why we are there , i was shouting to call the other members to join in :ikan, ikan, kambing, air..

I opened my eyes to see my husband's confused face for me calling those names. and i was like "oh bermimpi..abaikan" and tido balik..

The funny thing was when i felt the urge to push at about 3.30am. Nurse rushed to call for the doctor, another nurse was there to help. But i was telling myself that i want my doctor to sambut the baby, not the nurse.. during that time, only i knew how to use all the things on that bed. rupanya kena pegang alat penahan tangan tu nak meneran kekek . with all the kalut, and the gas i was supposed to 'sedut dgn hidung, dan hembus dengan mulut' turned out to be the other way around. It was quite a while when i asked for water from my husband. He told me "mana boleh minta air sekarang, baby nak keluar tu" and i told him (dlm mamai la ni kan terlebih gas), "nak air nak air juga.." Doctor said Ok, but dont hold for too long. Only after that, i felt a bit better. Baru macam bangun.. dan boleh push.. and the rest is a history.

Now that little girl turns 2 today.
Despite of the up-and-mostly-down time to handle her who apparently love to cry out loud ahahha, but we had and are going to have so much great time with her too. Where her smiles and laughs really make our days..

Happy Birthday my dear, Humaira.
We love you much.
May Allah makes you the best person you can be in this world, and the world after. :)

Pray, Food, Medicine and Supplement

Continue from the previous posting..

I summarize it again in Bahasa now.. (for the purpose of sharing the info with those who search the net).

Emak saya telah mengalami pembedahan membuang sel-sel kulit mati di kaki berpunca dari kencing manis (diabetes). Asalnya hanyalah luka kecil tetapi dibiarkan berberapa minggu sehingga ditahan di wad selama 3 hari. Hasil pemantauan dan ubat-ubatan yang diberi, emak semakin elok. Tetapi seminggu kemudian keadaan semakin teruk. Emak dimasukkan ke wad semula kerana demam panas, kencing manis dan disyaki masalah jantung. Puncanya adalah kerana makanan2 tambahan MLM yang dibawa orang ke rumah (ku sudah tak percaya.. sila berhati2 kalau makanan MLM itu kata boleh ubat kencing manis, darah tinggi etc.. huhu).

5 hari di wad, emak saya telah dibedah sebanyak 2 kali dan disuntik insulin. Tetapi paras gula dalam darah masih lagi tinggi sekitar 20-17. Paling rendah turun ialah 17 dan kemudian naik semula. Untuk orang yang normal, kadar gula dalam darah adalah pada 4-8 sahaja (jika tidak silap saya).

Setelah melakukan beberapa penyelidikan, kami telah menjalankan 4 perkara kepada emak. Hasilnya, alHamdulillah. 2 hari selepas itu, paras gula sudah berkurangan dan berada di paras terkawal. Catatan hari ke2 adalah 9. Luka juga sudah semakin kering dan sel2 daging baru sudah menampakkan pertumbuhan . Hari ke 4, air bisa keluar dari kaki.. Hari ke-10, emak sudah dibenarkan keluar dari hospital… Itu semua kurang dari 2 minggu bilamana org2 lain yg saya jumpa ada yg terlantar sehingga 3 bulan di hospital dan membuat pembedahan berulang2 kali sebelum dapat sembuh..

4 things that we did to cure the problem: Pray, Food, Medicine and Supplement (Doa, Makanan, Ubat dan Makanan Tambahan).

Pray, I believe do not have to elaborate more. But, it is important. To have faith in your heart makes one feel calm to face the situation. Allah will give strength to all who is facing that, the family and the patient., InshaAllah…

Food.. this is the first thing we googled. What to eat and what to avoid… So here I share what my husband and I found on net:

Food to avoid: Elakkan:
1. All sweets and sugar (including honey) / Makanan Manis dan gula (termasuk madu)
2. Red meats / Daging Merah – lembu, kambing
3. High sugar contained fruits / Buah2an yang mempunyai kadar gula yang tinggi – rambutan, durian, anggur
4. Rice / Nasi – kuantiti 1- setgh senduk shj
5. White bread / Roti Putih
6. Fast food (say no to kfc, McD, pizza etc..)
7. Can drinks (air berkarbonat)
8. Ice-cream
9. Junk food
10. Chocolate

p/s: Salah satu makanan tambahan MLM itu mempunyai kandungan glucose (gula), sebab tu la tak jadi makin elok..tapi teruk

Food to eat more: Lebihkan makanan:
1. Green vegetable / Sayur2 hijau – terutamanya brokoli
2. High fibre food / Makanan berserat tinggi – oat, barley/barli
3. Protein/Soya-based food / makanan berasaskan kacang soya – soon, fucuk, tofu, tauhu
4. Deep Sea Fish / Ikan laut dalam
5. Shitake Mushroom / Cendawan hitam (perlu direndam dulu untuk melembutkan)
6. Herbs / Herba2
7. Plain water / Air kosong – sebaik2nya air zamzam

Rupa ikan dory selepas dinyahbekukan.. Defrost dory fish..

Sayur2 hijau

So, jadi lah resipi2 ciptaan sendiri untuk orang kencing manis seperti di bawah ini yang saya masak selama beberapa hari untuk emak:
1. Sup air fucuk, soon, kentang dan cendawan shitake (every day)
2. Brokoli dan cendawan shitake bersos tiram
3. Tofu kukus bersama brokoli dan cendawan shitake
4. Ikan Dory goreng tepung
5. Ikan Dory masak halia (sbb musim CNY dan tak boleh guna gula, gantikan dengan beberapa ulas limau mandarin.. rasanya not bad juga laa..hhehe)
6. Sayur kacang goreng
7. Sayur campur (kacang, cendawan shitake, lobak dan brokoli)



Yang ini salah satu cara masak tumis air ini.. http://kasihasakura.blogspot.com/2009/01/tumis-air-fucuk.html

Kalau cara saya:
1 ulas bawang kecil - dihiris
2 ulas bawang putih -dihiris
1-2 keping halia - dihiris
sedikit ikan bilis - ditumbuk

tumis bahan2 di atas sehingga garing/naik bau. Masukkan air.
Masukkan:

1 biji kentang dipotong 4
beberapa keping cendawan shitake
(kalau yg kering telah direndam dahulu selama 2-3 jam dan dihiris halus. kalau yg fresh, hiris halus aje)
fucuk (telah direndam dahulu dalam 10-15min)

Apabila kentang telah lembut, masukkan lobak yang telah dipotong serong/ brokoli.
Biar seketika. akhir sekali, masukkan sedikit garam dan soon (juga telah direndam seketika). kacau seketika dan tutup api.


Senang sahaja masak org sakit ni.. Cuma jgn letak gula. Sos, kicap dan sos tiram kalau boleh jgn letak atau kalau perlu letak sedikit sahaja.. So far feedback daripd abah, emak makan semua lauk habis.. kira ok la tu kan hahahha

Yang ketiga, medicine atau ubat2an.. Sila makan ubat yang disediakan doctor sahaja.. jgnla makan ubat2 lain sewaktu dgnnya waktu ini…

Supplement.. ok .. ini la yg saya buat. Kerana dua perkara, pertama kerana supplement ini terletak di bawah kategori makanan yang elok dimakan (sayur/vege and herba/herbs). Yg kedua, kerana hadis2 Rasulullah yang memuji makanan ini.. iaitu bahan dari pokok zaitun (pohon yang paling banyak keberkatan) dan biji hitam habbatus sauda (biji yang menyembuhkan segala penyakit kecuali maut/mati).. Mula2 beli dulu sebab teringin nak anak ku jadi cerdas.. ikut la petua2 mama darwisya/darwish.. Jadi, ku beli extract daun zaitun di sini ; dan minta kak Jawahir belikan minyak habbatus sauda gred A. Harga ekstrak daun zaitun ni di luar adalah RM109 kalau tak silap, tapi beli terus dari pengilang dapat la harga murah sedikit. Kalau sesape mahu, ku ada beberapa botol lagi beli byk haritu utk dpt harga murah + kasi kat beberapa org ahli keluarga.. bolehlah try test cuba.. hehe


Inilah ekstrak daun zaitun tu.. Nama jenama ni Olive Oleo. Yg sebelah tu ialah habbatus sauda (bentuk serbuk), ada jual di menara TM ni.. tak jumpa plak minyak nak beli..


Cara makannya ialah ekstrak daun zaitun dimakan satu sudu teh setiap kali selepas makan (3 kali sehari). Pada waktu malam selepas makan, minum satu sudu teh daun zaitun dicampur 3 titik minyak habbatus sauda.

Oh lupa pula, satu perkara lagi.. Ini terpulang kepada pesakit juga la.. Oleh kerana pembedahan, kaki tidak dapat bergerak seperti selalu. Oleh itu kaki kena diurut setiap hari dengan minyak panas, secara perlahan2 di betis, lutut dan paha supaya darah dapat mengalir dengan baik. Emak pun agak rajin berjalan perlahan2 mundar-mandir di keliling wad di waktu pagi dan petang.

Kita berusaha.. Allah yang menentukan. Alhamdulillah setakat hari ini emak dah boleh berjalan walaupun masih berulang2 alik ke hospital membuat 'dressing' / cucian di luka. Sudah 2 -3 minggu dan daging pun sudah banyak yg tumbuh.. Kalau ada sesapa ada masalah yg sama, cubalah yer.. inshaAllah.

Recovering Diabetes

Remember when i mentioned the challenging things that happened to me? One of it was my mother who was warded due to diabetic.

At first, it was only a small wound on her feet. She ignored it until she felt pain on it, where it lead to her being warded for 3 days in Kuala Lumpur when she came to visit my brother in Putrajaya. After proper monitoring and checking by the doctor and a small operation on her feet, she was released from the hospital. One week later i received a SMS from my father told us that my mother was warded again due to high fever, diabetic and suspected heart problem. It was later figured out that few people suggested my father to give my mom this and that (mostly MLM's thingy) that actually worsen the situation.

We were so worried that we took a half day (not really half, it was passed 3pm on that day) to go back hometown. But, as usual la kan..dgn anak kecik ni you can't go just like that... Have to go back to pack our items (the little girl's items actually) and then trapped in the traffic jam half way.. it took us more than 2 hours to reach Tol Sungai Besi, by then we were hungry and needs to fulfill the nature call . Stop for 45-min to eat, toilet and change diaper, and straight forward to the hometown for another 1 hr and a half. By then it was already midnight... and only able to visit my mother the next day..

To cut it short, she had an operation the day after to remove dead cells on her feet. Her sugar reading was still high , about 20 ++ ..injected with insulin but the lowest to go is only 17. Normal people reading should be between 4-8, if i am not mistaken. We went back on Sunday, as my husband really need to work on Monday (we were on emergency leaves for 2 days); and came back on Monday evening.

Within 5 days, she went for operations for 2 times. Shocked to see that she can viewed her feet's bone, my mother cried. Afraid that she may be loosing her leg. I told her not to worry as i have people around me (of course mature people) underwent the same problem and procedure as her. At that time, her sugar reading was still high.. never went down lesser than 17.

My mind worked hard for me to think what to do ..what to do..to ease my mother's trouble, what can help to reduce the sugar reading, what should she eats to help her recover, what food can help the healing etc.. etc...

So, what did we do?
It is a combination of all.. Pray, Food , Medicine and Supplement..

Alhamdulillah..
One person i knew took 3 months to recover and able to walk again.
Another person i knew took 1 month for the cells to start growing back.
My mom? Only in few days time and 10 days after the second operation she was released from the ward.

How did we managed it?
Let's continue it later...


Antara ikthiar kami... Want to know what is this? Check out my future posting..

Siaran Tergendala

Lately, macam2 berlaku... Kira2 byk pula dugaan untuk membersihkan jiwa dan dosa2 dari diri. Walaupun tak kena direct pada diri sendiri, tapi pada org2 di sekeliling cukup membuatkan kita rasa risau sepanjang masa juga.. :)

jadi itulah penyebab siaran tergendala dari sambungan kisah lepas.

Sebenarnya tujuan saya tulis tentang Micro Economy adalah atas sebab2 berikut:
1. Komoditi Malaysia dan bahan asas keperluan rakyat Malaysia - keluaran domestik hanya boleh menampung 40%-60% sahaja keperluan. Lagi separuh perlu import.
2. Import eksport kita menggunakan USD.
3. Pengukuhan ringgit Malaysia daripada RM3.80 dua tahun lalu kepada RM3.09 beberapa hari lalu, secara kasar bermaksud penurunan sekurang2nya 18.7% untuk harga bahan mentah masuk ke Malaysia.
4. Secara kasarnya harga barang asas sepatutnya boleh turun sekurang2nya 10%. Sebab apa? Bahan mentah berkurangan 18.7% harga, kadar kos pengeluaran juga sepatutnya berkurangan 18.7%.

tapi, apakah realitinya begitu?

lihat statistik bank negara di sini, National Summary Data Page..
Bila scroll ke bawah sedikit, kita lihat Index Pengguna (Consumer Price Index) dan Index Pengeluar (Producer Price Index)..

Pada tarikh ini 14-02-2011, CPI ialah 115 dan PPI ialah 119.

Apekah maksudnya?
Secara bahasa kasarnya, bagi satu2 barang, secara purata (average) pengguna sanggup membayar sebanyak RM1.15; tetapi kos pengeluar bagi barang tersebut ialah RM1.19.

Apakah yg akan berlaku?
Jawapannya.. Inflasi.
Ya, harga barang akan naik lagi..

tapi.. bukankah kos bahan mentah telah turun secara purata 9% setahun (dan terkumpul 18% untuk 2 tahun ini)..

Persoalannya, begini:
1. Siaran berita di TV1 minggu lepas mengeluarkan satu segmen khas tentang pengukuhan nilai ringgit dan ekonomi Malaysia. Statement berbunyi - pengukuhan nilai ringgit menguntungkan rakyat Malaysia.. saya tak tahu di mana untungnya?
2. Kadar inflasi yang tinggi terutamanya untuk makanan (google sahaja food inflation rate malaysia.. contohnya macam di sini ).

Ada org ckp apa boleh buat (selain tukar kerajaan la kan)... saya pun tidak tahu. yang saya tahu ada dua perkara; pertama polisi kerajaan (fiscal policy) dan polisi bank negara (monetary policy) tak seimbang.. dlm ekonomi, kalau dua2 ini seimbang barulah mencapai tahap kemajuan yg baik.. so, kat mana yg lebih dan kurangnya? saya rasa dah nampak sgt.. bank negara mampu kekalkan byk statistik negara dengan bermain dnegan polisi matawang dan overnight interest rate untuk bank2 malaysia. tapi, yg satu lagi rasanya sibuk sgt menda lain kot.. (pilihanraya kecil byk sgt, so byk nak kena fikir? hehe). saya bukan perlu menjadi pembangkang, tapi saya rasa byk sgt mismanagement atau lack of management dlm polisi2 kerajaan.. cth.nya harga barang kawal atau tidak kawal, harga minyak kawal atau tidak kawal..polisi tidak tetap yg hanya bertahan 2 bulan, lepas tu tukar balik.. tax 5% dah jadi 6% (ni sbb nak naik gaji kakitangan awam), tapi tax ni tak boleh pulak tolak income tax yg juga dah dibayar kepada kerajaan? heheh

yang kedua adalah.. siapakah sebenarnya yg jadi pengedar barangan? maksud saya ini org2 yg import export kan brg2 keperluan asas la.. siapakah yg control? bukan setakat org2 yg menjual kepada pengguna aje.. kesian juga pd mereka, brg jual kat mereka pun dah cukup mahal kan..

yg sub-kedua (point dari yg kedua hehehe).. inflasi keperluan hidup kita sebenarnya kalau dikira secara benar2nya mmg membuatkan ramai mengeluh kan? gaji naik 3%-5%, barang naik 7%-10%; hatta tol pun naik 10% setahun.. tapi tahun ini ditangguhkan (kan?), maksudnya apa? maksudnya rakyat dah hampir tahap tak mampu..

jadi nak mencapai tahap negara berpendapatan tinggi..apa perlu buat? kalau trend semasa suka naik barang hampir 10%, gaji mesti naik kurang2 15% - 20%.. ada berani? ahhahahah kalau boleh ckp macam tu suka suki pada HR dan finance kan.. ahhaha

Micro Economy

Baiklah murid2.. hari ini kita belajar satu subjek secara praktikal..
Teori nya ramai dah belajar kan.. Kalau nak tau boleh jeee tengok kat buku2 teks..
Subjek hari ini ialah..

Mikro Ekonomi (Micro Economy)

Micro / mikro bererti kecil..
Jadi ini kisah ekonomi kecil.. Ekonomi Rumah Tangga.. eh, ERT plak? hahah ku sudah pening..
Kalau rajin.. teruskanlah membaca..
Tak rajin? err tak dapek den nak nolong hehe..

Oh, setelah berbulan2 senyap sepi.. tiba2 di tahun baru cerita ekonomi?
uhh.. rindu tauu.. dah lama i tak kongsi2 pasal ekonomi dengan you all.. sebab ada org dah dgr hari2 pasal ku bebel2 ekonomi ni... so terlupa la nak cerita kat sini ahaha...

Ape? Selalu dengar dah? hehe yer betul.. anda dengar belanjawan..anda dengar itu ini.. tapi yg saya nak tulis ni mungkin anda dah baca juga di sana sini kot.. cuma saya nak tulis nak bagi saya ingat saya masih lagi guna pakai ilmu belajar sekolah dulu hoho..

jadi, dipendekkan kisah penglipur lara ku..
saya share ini dulu untuk petang ini..
apa pendapat anda? hehe

A refreshing start for 2011

Wonder how long have i left this out until a friend of mine saw me online on YM yesterday and told me it was unbelievable to see me 'online'. She asked how do i do and what happened to my rusted blog. hahahah ok dear friend, thank you for your concern. i was too much adjusting myself in year 2010 that made me depressed and tensed at all time..

Now the starting of 2011, i keep on my mind since the last few weeks i want to be happy, productive, relax and feel great in the year of 2011.. Thinking about that, it does not seems to be that easy.. But, so far it seems so good. I hope this enthusiasm will continues for the whole year and years after..

So, what is the achievement so far?

First, i managed to change to template from a blank-what-she-is-trying-to-achieve to 'something'..at least at the moment.. just to keep the writing spirit alives.. (p/s: People, please say something to cheer me up! hahah)

Then, on my daughter.. This boolat little girl..

Picture of few months back

She turns 16 months and turned to be a soo manipulative girl and a drama queen. I mean, it is really a drama queen..

Picture of few days back

Still boolat, kan...

Third, on my master..
Alhamdulillah.. I received my MSc International Business scroll from UUM October last year..

At last.. it feels so sweet to attend that moment. Though it was raining non-stop from the day we went there till the day we came back, but at least our session was not being postponed like some unluckly fellow..

Ok.. that is all now for now.

A warm-up for the year..

Kesiannya..

Di sini dan di sana..
Kita laungkan betapa bertuahnya kita di bumi malaysia
Kita punya banyak hasil bumi, lautan hasil air, hutan-hutan tropika dan segala macam kemajuan..

Di hadapan kita.. Ada orang yang hari2 tak punya makanan yang mencukupi..
Kesiannya baca.. Murid itu betul, dia tidak kenyang.. Jadi utk survival dia cari cara lain utk kenyang.. Imaginasi kanak2 memang tak sedap pun boleh jadi sedap.. :(

It tasted like chocolate, says girl who ate stones

By EMBUN MAJID
embun@thestar.com.my

SUNGAI PETANI: “It tasted like chocolate, that was why I ate them,” said Year Four I. Yogeswary who was admitted to the Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital here with her two younger sisters and a cousin for eating stones.

The girls were hospitalised after they vomited and suffered stomach pains for eating stones collected from the compound of their house in Kampung Padang Lembu, some 20km from here.

Yogeswary, 10, her sisters Nageswari, eight, and Ganggadevi, six, and their cousin N. Vikneswary, nine, were admitted to the hospital after one of them revealed their condition to Jerai MIC division chairman R. Supramaniam on Friday.

Not for eating: Sarojini with one of her daughters while her only son, I. Sentilativan, five, is holding up a handful of stones found in the compound of her home in Kedah yesterday.

They were admitted to the hospital’s intensive care unit here but on Sunday have since have been moved to the observation ward.

Accompanying them at the hospital was their 61-year-old grandmother N. Bathumalai.

A visit to the ward yesterday showed that Yogeswary, Nageswari and Vikneswary’s condition had improved while Ganggadevi was still weak.

Yogeswary said she had been eating stones since last year, adding that it was very crunchy and tasted like chocolate.

Admitting that she was the one who had introduced the stones to the three girls, the schoolgirl from SJK (T) Kalaivani in Kampung Padang Lembu said they secretly ate the stones behind their parents’ back.

“I collected the stones and hid them in my schoolbag and would eat them in my room. One day, Nageswari saw me eating the stones and joined in while the others did so later.

“My sisters, cousin and I are never full after eating food prepared by my mother. We will only feel full after eating the stones.

“My father had caught me eating the stones a few months back and punished me but I was soon back to the habit,” she said.

Her mother V. Sarojini, 27, when met at home, said the girls were admitted to the hospital after her husband, R. Inderan, 43, searched their room and found plastic packages containing stones hidden in their schoolbags and closet.

“I had warned them numerous times about it but they denied doing it. Ganggadevi and Nageswari were admitted to the hospital for the same problem last June and in January this year.

“My husband may earn a small salary working as a labourer but we are never out of food. I am unable to visit my daughters and niece as I have two other daughters and a son to take care of at home,” she said.

Inderan said he and his wife had been branded as unfit parents by his neighbours after the media highlighted the matter, adding that the accusations were unjust as they had done their best for the children.

Humaira

Anak ibu sudah berumur 8 bulan 3 minggu dan 3 hari hari ini.

Humaira tunggu ibu balik daripada kerja

Alhamdulillah, so far her development is so good.

Cumanya kadang2 terasa dia punya keinginan yang sangat kuat dan cepat untuk explore the world. Umur 3 bulan, Humaira sudah terlonjak2 minta diangkat untuk melihat keliling. Bila diletak dia menangis, bila diangkat dia berbunyi2 macam bercakap.. Umur 6 bulan setengah, sewaktu pergi makan di sebuah kedai Humaira memegang bekas sudu/garfu dan menterbalikkan keseluruhan isi dalamnya. Sewaktu umurnya 7 bulan, dan sehingga sekarang kerjanya di restoran adalah bermain sudu. Umur 8 bulan, Humaira cuba2 untuk makan sendiri. Yang berlaku akhirnya adalah bermain dengan makanan sendiri, habis seluruh tubuh dan skirt yang dipakai berlumur dengan bubur. Yang masuk mulut? Hanya suapan pertama dan kedua sahaja.. itupun sebab ibu yang suapkan.. huhuh

Humaira belum pandai merangkak. Walau sudah boleh duduk, dia malas nak bergerak sendiri. Semuanya dipanggil2 orang mengangkat.. Tetapi dia memang suka makan, dan merajuk bila kita makan tak bagi dia sama... Oh anakku yang bulat sekali...

"Ibu, saya sudah habis main dengan makanan... Ops, habis makan dah"

Bulan lalu Humaira tumbuh dua batang gigi hadapan bahagian bawah. Seminggu dua sebelumnya, agaknya kerana gatal gusi dia menggigit sahaja di sana sini. Penyebabnya – nipples cracked kedua2 belah sampai berdarah – even gunakan pam susu. Akhirnya gunalah tangan itupun tak boleh nak kumpul sebab ada darah bercampur2 juga. Kesian tengok dia merengek2 tidak dapat susu badan, menangis beria2 tetapi nak buat macamana mak dia pun sakit tak tahan dan takkan nak kasi air susu berdarah pula kan… Akhirnya dia redha juga kot.. malam ke-2 dan ke-3 tak merengek2 lagi.. lepas malam ke-4 , bila dah sembuh dan boleh beri semula secara terus, Humaira macam melepaskan gian..

"Ibu, saya demam. Tapi saya suka senyum kan ibu kan"

Minggu lepas Humaira demam panas. Panas sungguh. Terkejut juga rasa. Pukul 9 malam, bila periksa suhu badan Humaira 37.7 Celcius, kami berikan ubat demam. Pukul 2 pagi, terasa tangan panas sangat. Ibu bangun periksa suhu badan Humaira sudah lebih 39C. Ibu ambil tuala dan tuamkan badan Humaira, beri lebih air kosong dan susu badan. Sejam lepas itu suhunya sudah turun ke bawah 38C semula. Ingatkan esok pagi sempat la sebelum ke tempat kerja singgah sebentar berjumpa doctor. Pukul 5 pagi, sekali lagi suhu badan Humaira naik balik lebih 39C. Kejut Abah, dan kami pun bersiap2 membawa Humaira ke klinik. Keluar dari klinik, kami dengar azan subuh… Agaknya tidak dapat tidur lena malam itu, Humaira tidur sebaik sahaja sampai ke rumah.

Ibu terus bersiap2 ke tempat kerja. Kebetulan untuk 2 hari itu, isnin dan selasa ada mesyuarat penting dengan pihak atasan setiap pagi bagi 2 perkara berbeza. Jadinya tak dapatlah nak ambil cuti seluruh hari, nasib baik team partner memahami. Selepas waktu makan tengahari, ibu bawa Humaira balik untuk lihat sendiri keadaan dia. Lebih lega Humaira depan mata. Dan seperti biasa manjanya menjadi2 la.. Pantang nampak ibu bangun je, pasti merengek2. Dek kerana tak cukup tidur 2 malam berturut2, hari ke-3 ibu pulak yang tak boleh bangung waktu pagi. Yeahh akhirnya berehat sahaja di rumah sambil melihat budak kecil yang semakin sembuh itu.

Selang beberapa hari kemudian, kami lihat ada tunas 4 batang gigi hadapan bahagian atas pula nak keluar. Wahh cepat nya.. Agaknya itu lah sebab nak demam, nak dapat gigi-gigi baru.. patutlah, budak ni rajin betul bercakap. "Ab-bah" , panggil Humaira pagi2. "agigugugaga...", dia sudah bercerita pada Abahnya. "A-bu, bu" panggil Humaira. Sampai bersembur2 air liur sebut "Bu". Selagi tak menyahut, selagi tu dia panggil.. Humaira belum pandai sebut 'Ibu' betul2.. "Agigugugaga laala.." entah apa dia cerita dalam bahasa Jerman.. memang bunyi betul2 macam Jerman.

"Eh! Ada kamera?"

Semalam dia menjerit2 nak makan pasta beef chilies with coconut milk (pasta daging masak lemak cili api) di SweetChat Mid Valley. Bila diberi bubur ubi manis yang dilecek (sweet potatoes), dia geleng2 kepala sambil kata "na, na, na, na, na"... Aiks, sudah bijak membuat pilihan? Humaira, humaira... Kalau dah ada kaki ni entah apa pula ceritanya.

6 & 7 months

Nur Humaira
Esok Nur Humaira akan genap berusia 7 bulan..
Dia masih lagi anak manja ibu yang tidak boleh lihat ibunya hilang dari pandangan mata walaupun sekejap. Bila ibu ada di sekeliling, dia selalu akan menangis bagaikan dipukul waktu abah memegangnya walaupun abah tidak buat apa2. hai anak ibu seorang ini... tapi bila abahnya tidak kelihatan, sibuk memanggil nama abah (oh, yaa dia sudah pandai menyebut 'Ab-Bah' tetapi ibu menjadi ' 'i-bu atau selalunya berbunyi 'a-bu).

Yang pelik, bila ibu betul2 tidak berada di sekitar dan ditinggalkan dengan orang lain boleh pula dia buat hal sendiri.. isk isk isk...

Ini gambar humaira diambil sewaktu dia berusia 6 bulan, waktu ni kami sedang sibuk mencari lampu untuk rumah baru..

Botak sedikit.. rambut dicukur kali ke-2 sewaktu raya cina kerana 'cukur bantal' atau rambut tumbuh di sebahagian kepala sahaja..nampak macam sabut kelapa..

Beberapa kali cubaan mengambil gambar senyuman dia yang cukup sukar.. akhirnya berjaya :D

Pindah Rumah
2 minggu lepas kami telah berjaya mengangkut segala barang dari rumah lama ke rumah baru. Berpeluh2 juga la kiranya.. Skarang rumah masih dalam proses pengemaskinian dan rupanya sudah berubah sedikit baik dari warehouse ke rumah kongsi keh keh keh..

Housewarming? rumah kami memang terasa 'warm' di waktu pagi kerana bilik tidur utama betul2 mengadap matahari terbit.. ya, waktu pilih itu saya memang sengaja memilih matahari terbit dari tingkap bilik kerana saya sukakan waktu pagi.. tapi kini kena fikir2 juga untuk membeli langsir tebal (demi cik abang :P). Jadinya secara official belum terfikir la nak buat housewarming, tapi kalau nak dtg calling2 aje.. takde problem.. hehe


Ha ini gambar humaira dua-tiga hari yang lalu.. waktu pagi ibu sangat sibuk bersiap2 dia juga sibuk memanggil2.. anak ibu ini pun a morning person.. pagi2 sudah bangun daa banyak susah nak siap. jadi bagi melekakannya, inilah yg abah dia buat... jadi sarkis sekejap hehe

Cries

My dear daughter turned 4 months old yesterday.
I still have some (or is it often) tough time yet with her.
I thought that when she grows up, it will be much easier to handle her. Now that we realize that she is so demanding too.. Is that normal for a 4 months old baby to 'instruct' us to follow her wants and cries out loud if we do not fulfill the request? These few days it seem that she needs to cry every time before she can goes sleep.. Few hours before, she requested me to hold her up and walked around the house. She will cry out loud if i put her down, or i sit down holding her. After few hours doing it, i'm really tired and cant hold her weight anymore.. Oh gosh.. and then she started to sing her song along with the anugerah juara lagu show on the TV. he he suddenly i felt funny, laughed a little and smile a lot while watching her cry. Am i 'not centered' @ crazy for being like that?

Here is her picture tonight after all the cries..
She has been sleeping for more than 2 hours and a half now.. with a minimal movement. amazingly. hehe i told my friend, there is only one reason that we can stand all the tantrums all this while.. only one out of 99 'pusing kepala' things that being part and parcel with our lives.. that make us cant wait to see her again after a long working day despite of expected terrible events that awaited us.. That is because of this:


Her smiles!! So cute, isnt it.. :)
so, this is how it feels being a parent? hehe

Doa for a friend - Hany Fariza

Dear friends
If any of you are still not aware that Hany is currently warded at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Klang. She is still unconscious since yesterday morning. As described by her husband, she was suddenly collapsed at home. So let's pray together that she will recover soon and be able to take care of her two-weeks old son...

Amiin.

hurm...

These three months have been a very hectic months for me.. I am still adjusting my life with the new person in our life and new responsibility. At the same time, i was trying to cope with the long abandon tasks in the office, my master's class and now needs to complete two thesis within a limited period of time. Not to mention the household chores that seems like forever to complete. Perhaps I'm in too much stress that the week after raya haji my milk expressed dropped from a good 8-oz per pumping session to 5-oz.

Then came the baby side of story.. that she is too attached too me, wanting me to always be next to her at all time. i read in one of the parenthood article that suggesting writes about everyday parenting life and feeling although if i think that the feelings are not good. i don't know whether i should or should not follow the suggestion. but i think motherhood is quite tough for me. (huuhuh baru anak sorang.... dah cenggini.. kalah org anak tiga empat ni.. )

She seems to be so adorable when she smiles, or laughs.. when she did not make any fuss.. when she sleeps so peaceful. but when it comes to about to sleeping time, she will throw her tantrum that makes me do not know what else to do. we need to rock her to sleep, on our hands.. she even wanting me to feed her while stand up and rock her. so that is three requests at one time? the case is even worst when we used 'buaian', the thing that almost makes me be not in a good mood with the parent.. i have to admit that i was really under pressured not to apply the normal ordinary ways of upbringing the child in our tradition/community. i never thought it is going to be this difficult to make it understand that we want to raise our child in our own way. the only thing that i am still manage to hold up to now is to exclusively breastfeeding my baby...

not to mention that she will be ok at one day, and not ok the following days. she seems to be good when i see her today, and suddenly crying non stop , requests my full attention when i want to complete my assignments or when i thought of fulfilling my pumping sessions. in the end, when she rests herself quietly i'll be too tired for anything and have myself a sleep too..

despite of at times when i feel like putting her under the pillow because of the irritating crying sounds, or hopeless when we do not know what else to do as everything has been in check - the pampers, the room temperature, the body temperature, the hunger, the usually rocking... when i feel like crying to see her crying and i am not able to do anything to calm her down.. thinking again that perhaps she is also not feeling comfortable and still adjusting herself in our world.. we just told ourselves to be patience about it.. and yes, i said a lot of prays in my heart whenever i try to calm her down especially during my confinement.. takut gila meroyan plak..

when i think again my journey with her in my tummy, the kicking, the movement.. when we come back from work and see how happy she is to seeing us again... when we wake up in the morning to see her sleeping or smiling next to us.. when she tries to talk to us with her 'agugu', 'ottei', uu, aa sounds.. then i guess it is not a big deal to handle her. at least she does at times making our life merrier. hehe

some people said that when you have a tough time during the early days of the child, that child will be a good and easy to handle child when she/he grows up.. aminn.. harap2 nye la kan kan kan..

Dup Dap...

"Water Clock"

Lama tak update di sini.. Banyak juga sebenarnya nak tulis. Ingat2 ada kawan minta kongsi2 pengalaman sekarang.. tapi apakan daya, rupanya bukan senang bekerja, sambil belajar, dan kemudian uruskan hal-ehwal rumah dan juga mengandung masa yang sama.. Teringat dulu, saya sering terfikir bagaimana dan apakah yang berlaku sehingga ada ayat dalam alQuran mengatakan tentang keadaan ibu mengandung yang lemah.. oh yes, the usuall me :p.
Rasanya saya lebih faham sekarang dan dapat menjawab kenapa dan mengapa.

"Kami perintahkan kepada manusia supaya berbuat baik kepada kedua orang ibu bapanya, ibunya mengandungnya dalam keadaan lemah yang bertambah tambah dan menyusukannya selama dua tahun."
(Surah Luqman: ayat 14)

Dulu pun selalu tertanya2 mcmana org boleh muntah2, mcmana boleh rasa nak muntah, apakebendanamanya 'morning sickness' ni.. Sekarang pun saya faham.. hehehe

Ok berkenaan ayat di atas.. secara pemahaman saya ianya adalah kerana pada waktu ini berlakunya proses yang sangat laju (rapid?) di dalam tubuh seorang perempuan itu untuk proses kejadian manusia. Jadinya sel2 tubuh badan walaupun tanpa disedari sebenarnya memerlukan tenaga untuk proses2 itu. Mcm mesin perlukan minyak, walaupun kita hanya perasan mesin tu bergerak tapi tak perasan keadaan minyak yang membantu dalam menggerakkan mesin itu. Jadi proses2 ini mengurangkan tenaga yang ada pada tubuh manusia itu, tambah2 lagi ada bahagian2 mineral tertentu yang digunakan lebih banyak berbanding lain2.. Muntah2 itu pun sbb perubahan hormon badan yang berlaku dengan sangat cepat, jadi tubuh tak sempat nak 'adjust accordingly to the changes'.

Tenaga saya terasa berkurangan amat banyak .. bukan takat tinggal separuh, rasanya selalu sahaja tinggal suku dari kebiasaan.. mula2 dulu kuat2kan diri juga, tapi bila ada kawan pesan jangan paksa2 diri sangat nanti boleh pengsan.. saya sedikit cuak, tidak tahu boleh begitu pesannya.. ada org ckp 'it is a matter of psychology' tapi yang ini saya dah cuba juga utk 'menipu' diri yang saya boleh dan takde masalah sebenarnya.. dan akhirnya saya terkulai layu di hujung katil he he he.. takleh pakai teori tu nampaknya.. Cuma takdelah melayan perasaan amat2.. Kalau boleh buat, buat sikit2..tak boleh rehat dulu2.. nanti2 cuba lagi kan..

Trimester pertama.. bulan pertama saya ingat saya akan OK mcm statistik 5% perempuan yang bernasib baik.. tiba2 pada bulan kedua, alahan menjadi2.. kelakar juga sbb saya akan muntah2 bukan setakat salah makan, tapi kalau basuh pinggan mangkuk, basuh baju hatta melipat baju sekali pun.. pelik, tak kasi mengemas kah.. akhirnya dok je la terbaring.. minyak angin mmg setiap masa ada di mana2.. kat rumah satu, dlm kereta satu, kat ofis satu, dlm handbag satu.. wahhh untung tokei minyak angin time ni..

org cakap selalunya lepas 14 minggu (trimester kedua) dah ok dah.. punyalah tidak sabar saya ingin menjejakkan kaki ke situ.. tambah2 dlm belas2 minggu itu tiba2 saya muntah teruk tak berhenti2 sampaikan rasa mcm ..err.. nak masuk hospital aje. ehhehe setiap kali makan akan muntah, kira2 dlm masa 48 jam saya muntah berbelas2 kali termasuk kena bangun waktu tidur dlm masa 6 jam muntah 4 kali.. masa tu pulak tgh pergi team building utk 3 hari 2 malam.. akhirnya saya tidur lebih banyak dlm bilik dari ikut aktiviti mereka.. kesian kawan sebilik, bila bilik air bau muntah aje..

bila masuk musim ke-dua.. oh oh oh..rupanya belum selesai lagi... cuma dah berkurangan sedikit, badan pun takdelah selemah2nya.. dan dah beransur2 boleh buat kerja2 rumah semula.. muka saya sedikit serabut masa mengandung ni.. (oh, rindukan wajah2 lama ku yang comel itu.. heheh) maklumlah takleh sebarang letak kat muka ni.. bau2 aje kalau silap alamat memang lembik la lepas tu keluar masuk bilik air.. tak termasuk berapa kali tukar sabun mandi, ubat gigi, bedak2.. ingat time2 cenggini kalau ada bau yg bukan2 ya Allah rasa mcm nak lompat terjun bgn aje.. itu termasuklah bau2 masakan.. masa ni juga dah kenalpasti makanan2 berpotensi utk mengubati dan menambah parah situasi.. jadinya sudah lama tak rasa mcmana rasanya daging ayam itu.. saya ingat, satu waktu dahulu bahawa ayam goreng panas2 mmg sedap kan.. kurma ayam, ayam masak lemak cili api.. uhuks.. kicap, segala jenis sos berwarna perang dan coklat termasuk sos tiram.. coklat (uhukss my favourite!!!).. segala makanan masam termasuk buah oren.. cheese.. segala fastfood dari semurah2 harga sampai semahal2 harga (burger tepi jalan sampai carls junior semua takleh you, bau pizza esp. cheese + cendawan itu sungguh memualkan isk).. itu semua adalah antara yg saya fikir apakah saya boleh makan semula selepas ini..

akhir2 bulan ke-6 saya dapati alergik makanan ini berkurangan.. senarai2 tegar di atas masih terpakai.. hahahah tetapi punya sedikit tenaga lebih dari biasa.. dan masa ini saya mula2 dah beli barang2 baby sikit demi sikit.. baru je ok sikit, tiba2 dah masuk 7 bulan.. lepas 28-minggu perkembangan bayi lebih cepat dan berat mereka pun bertambah lebih banyak.. masa ni terasa tiba2 berat bayi itu.. dan dah susah nak tidur, tak cukup tenaga balik.. bagi yg takde pengalaman, bayangkan korang ada beg galas yang diletakkan sebiji buah tembikai seberat 1kg dan bawa setiap masa , mesti akan terasa penat kan kalau lama2.. jadi lebih kurang begitulah ceriteranya..

dan kini..tup tup.. alamak tinggal sebulan lagi sebelum tarikh akhir? banyak lagi tak habis membaca ni.. banyak lagi tak buat rasanya ni.. cepatnya masa berlalu... dan jantung pun berdenyut2 selalu.. dup dap dup dap... Moga Allah permudahkan perjalanan ini.. Amiin..

Alien

I'm back.
For a while.

I know .. I know.. I have not been very good in updating my blog anymore. Not after I were married. Where were I all this while? Do you believe me if I said I were abducted by an alien and put on hold for months? Well, do believe me..
When I first encountered the existence of the alien, I thought I will be intact but it remained temporary only as later I was strike by the sickness. I figured out that the alien has implanted on me a special devise that instructs me to follow the rules and regulations under the nation of outer space. There goes all the Dos and Don’t list. No fast foods, no soy ketchup, no bad smells, no chicken, no cooking, no house cleaning, no..no..no.. Whenever I tried to break the rules, the sky will suddenly change and I see lightning coming towards me. Later, I’ll be blank and toilet will be the next top destination to be visited.

Sometimes, I asked for the favour. Who knows, the alien will allows me to break the rules once in a while. I will be really2 begging for it, or gives the reasoning in a soft voice (of course I am doing it with a sincere heart.. you know, the alien can even detect whether I really meant for it or just a sweet talker). At a certain time, when i was lucky i'll get it my way. But at most time, you can guess it..that i dont get it my way... not anymore.

As the arrival of the alien in our life were although not plan in the first place, but anticipated. My husband was earlier being freaked with what happened to me, perhaps he did not understand how complicated it is. So, I negotiated with the alien perhaps we should give him a dose or two of what I am having. He did, was injected with the dose, only a mild one and he looked terrible for a week or two. Ha ha ha . Opss.. I mean I should be thankful he understood the situation better now, and has been very supportive to me. Thank you, dear :p

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I love the alien anyway. I am so used to having it near to me. I think the alien loves me too… especially after the incident. Have you encountered a situation where you were having a bad dream and suddenly become half awaken, half asleep? You seems to be awake from your sleep, but seems to still have part of the bad dream.. That is when you can’t move your body or talk, but already half conscious. I was making funny sounds, actually asking for help from my husband to help me fully awake. It was then I felt the alien in it soft movement moved around me as if worry for me, and tried to help me become fully conscious. How sweet... I felt touched with that ‘wonderful’ gesture.


So..you will be thinking when the alien be coming back home? I do not have the exact answer, perhaps earlier or perhaps later than the tentative date. I was informed that the date will be few days after Hari Raya.. Oh, thinking about that we thought of celebrating Hari Raya this time in KL only. Who knows, in case of emergency the road to the hospital is clear on that day. Only then, we should pray that the doctors do not clear their offices also...

Pindah

Dah lama tak dpt jenguk blog ni..
Sekarang tinggal 2 semester aje utk Master.. 4 subjek dlm kelas, 1 thesis..
Bukan tak sudi nak update, dalam kepala asyik terfikir aje.. Tapi ada lagi perkara2 yg penting pun tak sempat nak dikemaskinikan.. uhuks.. betapakah tak bijaknya mengendalikan masa..

Masa mula2 pindah ke ibu pejabat dulu, dok tingkat 22.. lepas tu (lepas pindah sana sini sinun) masuk balik, ke tingkat 44.. tak lama ke tingkat 51.. la ni baru2 ni kena pindah lagi plak ke tingkat 7.. kira2 semua 4 jenis sektor lif ke pejabat dah digunakanlah ni.. brg2 pun tak habis kemas lagi.. terbiar gitu aje.. ehehe.. So faham2 la.. kalau kat luar pun mcm tak terurus dah, ntah cemana nak urus yg kat sini plak.. :P

anyway time kasih la bagi yg sudi dtg melawat.. sila datang lagi ya lain kali :)

It has been a while since my last update..
AlHamdulillah despite of all the things that happened in our country, my company still provides us with bonus and yearly salary raise. Although not that much compared to previous years, but some is better than none...

I dont have much update these days.. Cant think of what to update.. Perhaps i have too many in my mind that i dont think so worth to share with others. Furthermore, things have been updated by a number of people nowadays..

Tagging Game

*Monolog*
Adehh..tiba2 kena tagged serentak dgn Shelley dan Hany.. bila kena tagged ni, one of the difficult things will be to think the answer of an open-ended questions... fakta atau hobi..? cuba2lah ni lepas dha berapa lama... heheheh

Tag 5

1. Copy badge "2008 cute's 3logger Award" di atas untuk diletakkan di blog anda

Yeahh Sudah... (cute kah blog ini? :P)

2. Link / n citer kan kembali siapa yang memberi award ini kpd anda.
Ada dua orang yang tagged saya serentak ini.. Mula2 by Shelley; dah kenal lama dah..tak ingat cemana kenal tapi maybe sbb dia satu kelas dengan roomate saya Farrah masa kat pre-u dulu kot.. Aaa ape nak cakap ek.. She gives a unique and wonderful friendship till now laa.. :p

Lepas tu by Hany plak .. Tak ingat cemana kenal, tapi baik dgn dia sbb sama2 join organisasi yang sama, juga sama2 berkembara di bumi Anbiya (DCBA).. bak kata Kak Hany (tau..zainal gelak bila panggil Hany 'Kak' sbb dia lahir beberapa hari sebelum saya :P); kitorang ni byk menda sama dan hampir boleh baca fikiran/karakter masing2 kecuali org yg kami suka la.. so if i say something good about her, taknaklah org kata i ni sebenarnya puji diri sendiri la :P But, truely..to be around with her is comfortable for me and (rindu plak kat dia :P)..

3. Setiap blogger mesti menyatakan 10 fakta /hobi diri sendiri sebelum memilih penerima award seterusnya (anda di tag)

i. Hobi - Tanya soalan. hahah saya suka 'explore things', experienced new things and high curiosity about life so it is common for me to ask question and reasoning although to some people it was a normal, common thing (or never thought to ask it before). well, after all before it is a norm it was a strange thing right .. so sometimes i guess people feel irritated with the attitude or even annoyed, perhaps.. but usually i follow the flow, and wont ask any questions if said not to do so.

ii. Fakta - boleh ingat pelbagai sejarah, info, cerita, situasi dan mengulang ayat2 yang diucapkan oleh seseorang dengan baik tetapi selalu lupa nama orang. Pernah ada org sedikit terasa saya bertanyakan namanya semula kerana fikir saya sudah lupa dia, tetapi saya hanya lupa nama dan dia terkejut bila saya ingat dan boleh menceritakan perkara2 yg berkaitan dia termasuk jenis makanan yg dia makan dan tak makan.. he he he..

iii. Hobi - Knowledge. So membaca dan berkongsi cerita adalah sesuatu yang saya suka. Kalau tengah berkemas, dan ada sesuatu yg menarik perhatian saya, ada buku, adalah majalah, keratan akbar, mesti kerja mengemas tu terbantut. Dan kalau membaca, selalunya saya akan tenggelam dalam dunia tulisan itu sendiri samada ianya novel/majalah/cerpen fiksyen, seram, romantik, fakta,perubatan, masakan, fesyen atau sains..

iv. Hobi - Kalau Hany suka 'plan rather than implement', i lebih kurang la tu. Saya akan analyse and calculate almost everything. I love to plan and estimate things, added with probability ..and how it is possible to achieve it.. termasuk SWOT analysis in almost every crucial decisions.. :D

v. Hobi / Fakta - dua2 pun boleh kot ni.. Suka tgk rancangan memasak, dan mencuba masakan tersebut..tapi memasak dgn cara saya yang tersendiri.. :)) selalunya akan lupa resipi asal lepas sekali atau dua kali masak shj.. and review drpd ramai org (termasuk husband sendiri now:)) ) saya masak mcm pelik sikit rasanya.. keh keh keh.. masakan melayu selalu juga tak jadi.. dan selalu terima komen "Ini apa?, apa nama makanan ni? ni makanan negara mana?" :P i cook my own recipes :))

vi. Fakta - Tak boleh stay idle too long. Perlukan keadaan interaktif dan dua-hala. Kalau otak saya tak berfikir utk membuatkan saya buat sesuatu atau berhenti berfikir tentang sesuatu, secara automatiknya mata saya akan tutup dan tertidur.. Jadi kalau suruh saya dengar sahaja, atau duduk sahaja (cthnya dalam kereta) tanpa membuat apa2.. dah tahu la apa akan berlaku..

vii. Hobi - Mencuba perkara2 baru atau mengubah kebiasaan.. Saya tak boleh 'stick' dalam keadaan yang sama utk satu masa yang lama.. even tempat duduk pun berubah2, kalau tidak cepat bosan.. he he he

viii. Fakta - Tak suka menunggu.. sama seperti saya tak suka buat org menunggu.. masa paling lama tahan menunggu 10 minit.. masa maksimum utk saya tunggu 30 minit.. lepas tu saya akan start menarik muka atau membebel2 atau minta reasoning kenapa lambat (esp. kalau org janji nak dtg time tu)... atau lain kali saya buat perkara yg sama kat org tu balik.. hahahah

viiii. Fakta - Pernah terfikir mungkin tidak akan/dapat berkahwin. Telah menyenaraikan pelan-30tahun kehidupan untuk dicapai sebelum hari tua dan tak larat bekerja sekiranya mmg betul2 kena hidup sorang utk lagi 30-tahun ini.. So, to my single friends out there, think positive k. It is not the end of the world if u remain single. :)

x. Fakta - Dah kahwin pun sekarang... dengan org yg pernah duduk sebelah saya waktu di pejabat.. :P dan sehingga hari ini, termasuk utk esok, lusa, minggu depan, bulan depan dan beberapa bulan lagi usia perkenalan kami belum lagi setahun.. :p Sekarang confused sikit sbb kena pelan balik life.. hahahah

4)pilih 5 penerima award seterusnya n nyatakan di blog anda.
Err.. nak kasi sapa ni eh? sapa yg rajin buat tag, dan tag org? heheheh
Aida, Aini? Zarid? Siti Zurina (walaupun harapannya tipis?)? ntahler kalau korang rajin silalah ek.. hahahha

5) Jangan lupe melawat blog kawan anda yg telah ditag dan menyatakan dia telah telah di tag.
Korang, dah kena tag.. jgn lupe buat :p
