Gear Box

our car broke down again.. this time is the gear box.. hmmm.. fortunately i was still at the office.. just about to go home.. when all the sudden after i put the gear on reverse.. it stuck! i couldn't move.. and the car started to shake.. oh damn it... we already warned by our mechanic that the gear box will only wait for its time... and unfortunately for us it happened when we were totally broke as this month we had spent so much money on medical expenses...

now we have no car to go and fro work.. fortunately my office has a car that we can use.. but i can only use it until this friday since someone else need to use it over the weekend and this weekend i have a monthly checkup and mak is coming over so do my brother from brunei.. la lala lal alla ala ... camne ni??

so anyone have spare car over the weekend that i can use until monday morning and return on monday evening??? call me at 0136681365 or ardi at 0133862066

All Great!

anisah's condition is better.. she started to eat over the weekend and i think she eats better than before, her mouth ulser pain already disappeared.. and she is anisah again... well what i mean by that is.. she's active as usual and she runs and talks as my dear anisah.. so am a happy mummy..

ardi's also getting better.. his mc is finally over and he starts to work today after almost 2 weeks break... so am a happy wife..

but the worst part is me.. am getting this back pain and it strucks my right leg... and it's very painful and i can't stand it especially when i am walking.. poor me.. i guess it might be because of my lack of rest.. but i cannot take any leave as i think i took a lot of half days for past weeks... so am a poor me..

AF is finished.. so our weekend ni will full of EPL actions.. which i like better... Chelsea won the charity shield... but i didn't watch the game last night.. too tired to open my eyes... well.. either team is not my favorite.. am still voting for Man U.. although the team was not good as few years ago.. wonder if they can win any silverware this year.. btw.. malaysian idol is much btter to watch than AF... ihihihih

excuses..

Why do I feel congested all the time?
Believe it or not, it's pretty common to have a runny or stuffed-up nose during pregnancy. About 30 percent of pregnant women have congestion without any other cold symptoms while they're pregnant. This condition even has a name: rhinitis of pregnancy. It frequently starts in the third month of pregnancy and can last until you have your baby or even a few weeks afterward.

Higher levels of estrogen during pregnancy can contribute to swelling in the mucous membranes lining the nose and even cause you to make more mucus. What's more, the amount of blood in your body increases and your blood vessels expand during pregnancy, which can lead to swollen nasal membranes as well.

That said, a stuffy nose might just mean what it usually means — that you have a cold or allergies. If your stuffy nose is accompanied by sneezing, coughing, sore throat, or mild aches and pains, you probably do have a cold. Check with your practitioner before taking any cold or allergy remedies to see which ones are safe for you.

Pregnancy can also make your allergies worse, or cause you to be sensitive to allergens and other irritants that never bothered you before. Whether or not your congestion is allergy-related, avoiding potential irritants — such as cigarette smoke and alcohol (which you should already be avoiding!) and sudden temperature changes — can help a lot. You should also avoid exercising outdoors on days when there's a lot of air pollution.

What else can I do for relief?
Steam can be very effective at relieving congestion and very soothing. Take a warm shower and hang out for a while afterward in the steamy bathroom. Use a humidifier or vaporizer to put more moisture into the air and keep it near your head at night.

For serious stuffiness, cover your head with a towel and lean over the humidifier for ten to 15 minutes a few times a day. Be sure to keep the humidifier very clean. Change the water daily, since it can be a breeding ground for bacteria, particularly in cool-mist humidifiers. You'll need to replace the filters often as well. For a low-tech alternative, use a bowl of steaming hot water instead, or moisten a washcloth with hot water, hold it up to your face, and breathe.

You can also try saline drops or a buffered saline nasal spray, available over the counter at the drugstore. Spritz or drip a bit into each nostril and within five or ten minutes you should be able to blow your nose more easily.

Remember to drink plenty of fluids and keep your head elevated at night. If congestion continues to make you miserable and keeps you from getting a good night's rest, ask your practitioner which medications are safe for you to try. It's generally best to avoid exposing your baby to any medications during your first trimester, when the organs are forming. If your practitioner says it's okay, you can try a decongestant. Avoid overusing decongestant nasal sprays, though, because they can cause rebound inflammation and make your congestion worse.

As troublesome as this symptom seems, the good news is that it's not dangerous. A stuffy nose will have absolutely no effect on your baby, and your symptoms will probably clear up within a day or two after you give birth.

--> agaknya sebab tu kot aku kena flu.. heheheheh

friends

when my friends are fighting, i feel sad...

i don't have many friends so i value all of them..

so is the terms 'friends forever' really exist?

i don't know....

i remembered...

uhuuu.. realize i haven't been updating this since.. wow.. 2 months ago.. the first one month, i was in johor bahru.. telling everybody i have course to attend in JB.. but actually all I wanted to was to take care of ayah.. but it never happened.. he passed away 12 hours after I arrived in JB ready to be his 'nurse'..

then, i have doubts whether to stay or to go back to Shah Alam.. abang and akak really wanted me to stay to take care of emak while she's recovering from sadness, ardi said up to me.. after much thought, i stayed for a month.. well to exact for 6 weeks..

when ayah final moment, i was the only real person who was beside him, i was the one who feed him his final drinks with air zam-zam, i remembered he asked emak to go and pray solat Zuhur, i remebered he was sweating like rain but his body was really cold, i remembered when anisah was trying to drink his air zam-zam and he looked at anisah to hold her, but if i knew that was his final moment, i will let an isah played with him for a while, instead i pulled anisah away, i remembered when he told me he can't see a thing, 'GELAP', that's what he said, i switched on the lights and he said it's still dark, i remembered when i tried to give him more air zam-zam, he asked me to stop and he hugged me really hard although early that morning he can't even hold a piece of tissue, i remembered when everybody asked to move away so that he can stretch out his leg, i tried but he kept hugging me, at last i pulled away, we laid him down on the floor, i remembered when i tried to massage him, my uncle said no, i remembered seeing emak was kissing his face over and over to wake him up, i remembered i called abang and akak to tell them to come back as soon as possible (abang had appointment with contractor and akak send our cousin to hospital, that's why i feed him).. i remembered when akak arrived, she was stunned, i remembered when abang arrived, he felt on his knees, i remembered when ee called i can hear his voices were crying, i remembered when i called ardi to come back a.s.a.p with boy (my brother-in-law), i remembered when the dr said he may still alive and asked us to bring to the hospital, i remembered when mak said no when the ambulance had arrived, let him died peacefully, i remembered when the man were showering his final bath, i remembered when they wore him his last clothes, i remembered when we had to kiss him final goodbye, even anisah did that, and we waied for his in-laws (ardi and boy) to arrive for their final kiss, then i remembered we prayed him for the very last time, i remembered when they brought him down and finally put him in the van to his final resting place, i didnt go to the kubur (had period) and accompany mak... that was our final goodbye to him... i know that event will always fresh in mind... and i will always remember ayah...

Far and Away

to those yang ter'rajin' visit my blog.. nak apologize dulu.. have not updated my blog since mid-february.. sorry guys.. i am too busy with every thing.. especially work.. lately i have no time to think of anything else except buat module training, cari quotation, call vendor, database nak up kan.. blah blah blah blah.. shrap at 5 aku dah kena balik.. what to do! after 5pm, my hours are with my family.. i nkow my boss tak favor langsung.. but i have to deal with it..

tapi kerja gila-gila.. still no increment and bonuses.. sad huh! still looking for jobs.. and almost give-up but at the same time i love where i am now.. the flexibility that i enjoyed, the great colleagues that i have met and so on..


anisah dah 1 tahun 1 bulan and 19 hari... can't get enough of her.. every day every hour every minute.. she is one cheeky girl, know how to make her parents angry and at the same time know how to put a smile on her parents' face.. she's a real charmer... nowadays i don't visit her during lunch hour anymore.. she's being extra naughty when i am around.. so better off for me not to around although i miss doing that and not sure what to do during lunch hour..

hubby skrang ni banyak kerja.. sian kat dia bila balik kilang tu.. one of his colleague dah berhenti, so he has to tanggung all the kerja but the good thing he is no longer under that snobbish engineer who is also our neighbour but very selfish and undermine other people.. think he is too great.. now hubby cannot take extra hour when we need extra money due to canon's policy to limit OT for executive to 40 hours only.. tak cukup oooo...

ayah is recovering but his appetite still not getting better... mom is worried.. so do the rest of us... and having nenek around the house even 'suffer' my parents, after arwah atuk has passed away she's been nagging and scolding every body.. poor ayah and mak have to take all the blame and accusations.. but cannot blame nenek also.. maybe that;s her way of fighting her sad emotions...

we will be going to brunei soon... so i have to write a letter to apply for the long break.. so gotta go

water splash holiday...

thanks to canon's new policy.. i managed to spend the 5 days holiday with my hubby... we spend 2/3 of the holiday at my sister's place at sungai long...

Day 1.. leisure around her house... brought anisah for her swimming lesson after months and months and months.. at first she was very frustrated with herself for not being able to swim.. hehehe... then after a while.. maybe tengok mummy and daddy and uncle2 semua syok swim.. she wanted to join and now she's having fun...

day 2.. we went to sungai tekala waterfall.. the journey was really long.. we arrived around 10am.. there were 18 of us.. once we arrived there.. after having some breakfast we jumped to the river.. it was very cold.. anisah was excited at first.. but then the water was so cold.. she changed her mind.. and her beloved daddy plak.. gi tenggelamkan dia.. nasib baik mummy to the rescue.. brought her up again... changed her.. feed her.. then on the 2nd round baru lar she's okey... malam tu went to midvalley

day 3.. since we were all very tired.. suma orangduduk rumah saja.. except for abang who brought his nephem to sunway lagoon.. and ardi searched for workshop since our car broke down again!!! ptang to swimming time again... but anisah really did not want to enter the pool.. but at least she's having fun at the playground...

day 4.. meminang time... well sort of... my brother.. EE balik mengejut from german... dah lar tu... bagitahu nak kahwin.. so from today (14/2).. we only have less than 5 days to get everything ready... ee..ee.. well at least we all are glad for his decision...

day 5.. at home in shah alam.. run all errands before start to work again...

Happy Birthday Anisah

10.16am on 5th February 2004, a baby girl was born.. the screeching sound of the blade i heard while they cut my "downunder" was wiped away with the sweetest sound i ever heard, the cries of my baby.. the midwife showed me her gender.. yes it was a girl... it happened very fast.. but still.. it is fresh in my memory...

now a year has passed...

Happy Birthday anakku sayang... Nur Anisah Binti Ardi Irwan.. mummy will take care of you forever and i hope you will be a good and solehah daughter.. just do know that... mummy and daddy will love you forever..

Hari Raya Aidiladha

been busy..

esok dah nak raya haji.. how time flies very fast.. am not going back to JB for this raya... ardi takde cuti.. so i left alone with anisah and my in-laws (Hmmm!!)... dah lar tu cuti sampai ari isnin.. bosan giler lar nanti ni..

anyways.. i am not feeling well today.. nose blocked and dizziness... and to make it more interesting i have interview session this afternoon with traderoof company at uptown.. hope i can do well..

ayah dah kuar from hosp selayang more than a week ago.. he's now in JB.. i think it's better for him to be back to JB since that is his home... from my bro.. he eats more now.. so hope he gain weight and energy so that he can recover soon.. he will have to do checkup every 3 months.. and we opt to do in selayang rather than in JB..

cannot write more.. still dizzy... SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA to all...

Anisah

Minah Rempit!!

she's no longer baby of the week.. well dah nama pun baby of the week.. so last for a week je lar kan... anyway.. for those yang tak sempat nak tengok just check out www.mix.fm then go to baby bloomer section and click archive.. just browse you will find her.. vote for her okey.. she's been babbling nowadays.. sometimes non-stop for hours.. i was amazed.. so do ardi... we always wonder.. where she gets the talent from.. well ardi n me is not a kind of person who talks a lot.. after much thought we believe it comes from her onyang.. both sides in fact.. on the other sides.. she's going to be 11 months tomorrow.. how time flies very fast.. still feel that she was born few hours ago... still can feel the moments in the labor room... still remember times when i was craving for things during pregnancy.. still remember why all the sudden i feel hungry even though i had just eaten.. still remember my wedding day.. still remember the moments when I was and still am officially Ardi Irwan's wife.. still remember the small ceremony for my merisik time.. still remember my first date... still remember when i accept his proposal to be friend with me.. and still remember... lots more...
