Terlajak kata...

I've done some damage to a person I hardly knew.. My over react emotion have made me became a jerk. I hate what I have done but it was done.

But, if I never said anything, my over react emotion will never go away. Maybe I have done the correct thing. At least I have made some effort. Today maybe the day where I know how the situation will go in the future. Will it be on my side? I hope so. But if not, I believe with what Allah have fated to me.

To the person, if you ever read this, I deeply regret with what had happened and again I apologize for that.

Looking Back at 2008

In my first post of 2008.. refer here

See if I'm successful..

My vision for 2008
1) I am trying to diversify my investments. --> Well, I invested in Unit Trust..
2) More 'religious' --> Too subjective to define..
3) No or less " Cuti-cuti Malaysia" this year.. we had a lot last year --> Yup, very much less but managed to get one or two vacations
4) Rebuild my relationships with people around me --> Build more and lose some which I don't regret..
5) Be more nice towards others --> I think I'm being nicer to people but.. I don;t think people were being nice to me..
6) Searching my old friends --> Thru facebook.. great job facebook!
7) Save more --> Err.. totally failed..

So for this year.. well I really don't do resolution... But this is what I plan to do this year..

1) Nak deliver kan baby.. hahaha.. which should be very soon
2) Tried to find part time job which can be converted to full time job so that I don't need to stuck with office policy..
3) Be more organized with the budget..
4) Go travel..
5) Have more time to educate the kids..
6) Be more fit..
7) Need to get back my ideal weight in order to get hubby to stop smoking.. eheh..
8) More hang out with my close family and friends..

Counting the days

The days are getting nearer. My ETA is on 8th January 2009. Somehow for this pregnancy, my anxiety a bit stronger. Perhaps because the baby is big (it was 2.7kg at 35 weeks) or perhaps it just my psychology feeling.

It has been 3 days and 4 nights without the kids. I send them to balik kampung with Mak and EE. Yes, that includes my manja boy, Amil. He was crying really hard when Ardi forced him to the EE's car. Sian anak mummy. Tapi kena lar blajar. To my relieve, both of them are doing okay in JB. They'll be back today and I'll pick them tomorrow afternoon at Sepang.

It has also been 3 days and 3 nights without hubby. Ardi is in Kerteh now. He will only be back tomorrow. I will pick him up at the airport after my appointment.

It's kind of bored they are not around. So yesterday I took an EL (heheh) claiming got headache which I frequently have to spend a day to myself. So sempat lar gi bank, buat facial, buat hair treatment, balik tido and gi pasar malam.

Things that happened to me with this pregnancy

1) Very bad first trimester - diarrhea, gastric, bad vomiting, nausea, not able to eat, headache - cause less energetic
2) Love to eat fish, unable to eat most vegetables except raw vege, chicken meat depends
3) Very very tired (very subjective but really tired compared to the earlier two)
4) Third trimester - after sit then stand and walk - the lower body part feel very painful - dr said this is due to baby pressure
5) Seem to eat vitamin a bit less
6) Uncontrollable anger especially towards Anisah and Amil

So far ni je yg terpikir..

The only thing I need to do is to put the bags in the car.

Got this from a website..

Tanda-tanda Hampir Bersalin

1) Bayi turun ke bawah

Perut menjadi ringan sekitar dua minggu sebelum kelahiran kerana kepala bayi sudah pun 'turun' ke dalam kawasan rangka tulang pelvis. Anda mungkin terasa:

* sakit di bahagian kelangkang kerana bayi menekan.
* kerap membuang air kecil semasa ini kerana bayi menekan pundi kencing
* sakit perut, memulas
* kerap buang air besar
* kerap terkentut

2) Keluar lendir pekat atau keluar darah bercampur lendir

* Lendir pekat seperti gam lekang dari laluan pintu rahim apabila pintu rahim mula menipis.
* Lendir bercampur darah pula keluar apabila pintu rahim mula membuka. Boleh berlaku beberapa jam atau beberapa hari sebelum bersalin. Segera ke hospital.

3) Sakit belakang

* Bayi beralih dan menekan tulang belakang anda.
* Untuk mengurangkan sakit belakang anda, posisikan diri anda seperti merangkak (tapi jangan merangkak ke depan!), dan angkat atau tinggikan badan anda ke atas, tunggu kiraan 5 dan rehatkan badan anda. Ulangi lagi.
* Anda juga boleh mengurangkannya dengan banyakkan berjalan. Ia juga akan mempercepatkan kelahiran anda.
* Jika sukar untuk anda berjalan, minta suami anda urut belakang anda dengan kuat semasa anda berbaring mengiring.

4) Pecah air ketuban

Air ini biasanya keluar dengan banyak dari vagina. Warnanya jernih, tanpa bau. Segera ke hospital.

{mosimage}Pintu pangkal rahim terbuka dan menipis

Doktor akan melakukan pemeriksaan vagina. Pembukaan di bahagian pangkal rahim atau servik dikesan dengan skala 1 hingga 10.

5) Kontraksi yang tetap dan berterusan

Kira kontraksi atau pengecutan otot rahim anda. Buat jadual. Baca seterusnya di artikel "Kontraksi, Kelahiran Sebenar atau Palsu"


Bila Perlu ke Hospital

Segera ke Hospital untuk kepastian doktor bila:

* kontraksi 5 minit sekali selama 1 jam. (datang lebih cepat jika anda tinggal jauh. Anda pasti tak mahu bersalin dalam kereta. :-) )
* keluar air ketuban.
* pergerakan bayi menjadi kurang kerap.
* keluar darah dari vagina.
* apa saja masalah yang dialami.

Being Kakak

Situation 1

Ardi was still in Miri. Anisah wanted to have roti canai for breakfast. Ask whether to eat at home or at kedai, she wanted to eat at the kedai. So we went to a nearby restaurant. Upon arriving, the driver's door stucked, couldn't be opened from the inside.

Mummy: Alamak kakak, camne ni? mummy tak leh kuar...
Anisah: hmm.. okey takpe2.. kakak keluar dulu.. kakak bukak dari luar ok? mummy tunggu jap ye..
[Anisah tried to open from outside but failed]
Anisah: Mummy tak boleh lar.. mummy keluar lar ikut blakang.. eh tak tak.. mummy ikut pintu sana ok.. boleh tak?
Mummy: mummy kan besar.. camna ni..
Anisah: Alaaa.. mummytry je lar..
Mummy: ok2 lar.. [And i tried to squeeze my big fat tummy to the other side of the front seat]
Anisah: haaa.. boleh pun.. iskk.. kenapa lar pintu ni kan...

Situation 2

After preparing the kids to go to nursery this morning

Anisah: Mummy.. jangan lupa bawak phone tu..
Mummy: ye ada ni..

When he's not around

I don't feel good today. My body is aching, my nose is watery, my head is spinning. And he's not not around to comfort. Can't call him cause he's unreachable till Thursday.

Last nite.. while I was reciting the Quran...

Anisah: Mummy, kakak nak makan roti canai, boleh?
Mummy: Hmm.. okey tapi lepas mummy ngaji and sembahyang ok?
Anisah: Kakak nak roti canai ngan apa tu.. kuah tu.. kuah kari kan..
Mummy: OK. ngan kuah dalca ke?
Anisah: Bukan.. alaaa kuah yang kacang tu..
Mummy: Haaaa.. yelaaaaa...

After Solat Isya', I brought the kids to the nearby Mamak's Restaurant

Anisah: Kalau daddy takde.. kita makan kat kedai laaa.. kalau daddy ada.. makan kat umah je...
Mummy: OK la.. (as what I intend also)

Di Kedai
Mummy: Roti Kosong 2, air nak apa kak?
Anisah: Eh nak roti canai lar mummy..
Mummy: Roti Kosong tu roti canai laaa..
Anisah: ooooo.. ok.. nak milo ais satu.. mummy nak apa??
Mummy: OK.. milo ais 2, tosai 1

At the restaurant, kakak and adik were busy spying on the cat while waiting for the foods. When the food arrived, they washed their hand and started to eat. Surprisingly both of the were behaving very good despite Daddy's not around. And Mummy have no trouble to control them like always. And the restaurant switched on to Star Movie and it was Mutant-X (i think lar sebab kenal hero je) on TV. And while ate, their stucked to the TV. So pretty peaceful night for me. And they both finished their food and drinks with mummy silently helping them. Sebab Amil marah aku amik dianye roti canai.

But I am very tired today due to my sicknes. This morning I was contemplating nak gi kerja ke tak.. but decide to go sebab baru je amik MC tipu 10 days ago to attend Prof Dr. Ahris' funeral.. but now my body cannot stand the pain anymore.. i really have to go.. and as of now.. i have another 1 hour 15 mins before i'm taking a half day off (maybe tukar jadi MC)..

By the way Ardi is at Bintulu (off-shore) until Friday/Saturday... :(

The 4 years old and 8 months Anisah



Terajin nak bukak babycenter and found this about Anisah's development

Talking the talk
Language skills are progressing to near-grade-school proficiency now. Among the highlights:
• Four-year-olds learn as many as four to six new words every day.
• Sentences are longer and more complex, containing multiple clauses as well as adverbs and adjectives.
• Four-year-olds can reason out hypothetical situations such as, "If this happened, what would you do?"
--> Yup. Mummy dah tak larat nak melayan soalan2 Anisah.. tapi being a mother layan gak aaa.. dah lar tu kalau bertanya ke bercakap ke siap ngan ekspresi muka lagi..

Engrossed in play
Some 4-year-olds spend noticeably more time with games and puzzles than they would have a year ago. They get up from their play less often and can become so engrossed that you wind up being the one interrupting
--> Yup. Agree. Anisah sangat concentrate kalau bermain ngan benda2 camni. Although not often

Artist at work
With improved control over pencils and crayons, your child can now make pictures you can understand without prompting. Her artwork is becoming more recognizable and more detailed. Plus, she probably starts off knowing exactly what she wants to draw: "I'm going to make a picture of our house."
--> Yup. She draws quite well. Much better than mummy. But her coloring really good. Siap ada shading and color tone tu..

Nipping a lisp in the bud
Pronunciation difficulties are still common at four. For example, is your child is still saying "torry" instead of "sorry"? Many children don't master the initial s and z sounds until age 7 or 8. Other sounds that can cause a problem: f, v, l, r, and sh. Usually the culprit is immature control of the muscles used to form sounds
--> Yup. Tapi ni dia dah master dari dulu lagi. Cuma kekadang mengada buat2 pelat.

Playdate refereeing
Playdates should be progressing more smoothly than they did even six months ago. Four-year-olds play more cooperatively and are more self-sufficient. They initiate their own play now, share more readily, and are beginning to empathize with their friends' feelings. That means you spend less time negotiating conflicts or thinking up things for them to do
--> Yup. Nowadays she decide what she wants. If I don't agree that we negotiate and usually mummy wins!

Countdown to math
The average 4-year-old can count up to ten, although he may not get the numbers in the right order every time. One big hang-up in going higher? Those pesky numbers like 11 and 20. The irregularity of their names doesn't make much sense to a preschooler
--> Yup. She can count to 100 now. Although she might miss some numbers

Get fit together
Four-year-olds are perpetual motion machines — running, jumping, hopping, wriggling, climbing. But this natural inclination to be active won't necessarily last forever. Take advantage of it while you've got it to develop healthy lifelong habits as a family. Join in the fun, stay active with your kids, and they're more likely to keep moving as they grow up
--> Yup. Ni memang dari dulu lagi. No doubt

Your 4-year-old's tall tales
Pair your child's overactive imagination with his exploding language skills and you get some of the most fanciful tales you'll ever hear. He'll convincingly tell you all the details of his trip to the rain forest or how he flew to the desert to dig up dinosaurs before lunch this morning
--> I'll try this but she does have lots of imaginary selalunye menjadi cikgu yang sangat garang di sekolah..

Taming a tiny tyrant
Your child absorbs and parrots back all kinds of grown-up behavior. Occasional bossiness is one of these. (Not that you necessarily deliver your commands as rudely as your child may play them back.) At four, kids start to experiment with power and how words can manipulate people
--> Not sure. Will check this

Building healthy habits
Your preschooler is absorbing all kinds of messages from you about nutrition. Here are some ways to reinforce good habits:
• If your child is still guzzling milk or juice at will, steer him away from the habit. At this age, liquids should be drunk sitting down and only when offered
--> Better than last time. Dah dengar cakap sket. But still refuse vegetables sometimes

Why all the bonks and bruises?
Some preschoolers seem to do everything in hyperdrive, exploring their world with daring, curiosity, and speed. Watch a 4-year-old on the playground and you'll see someone with ever more confidence in her body and movements. She jumps over things, climbs stairs more confidently, and can catch and throw more accurately
--> Neeed to check but she sure have confident when do things

The generous child
Your child is gradually becoming less selfish, but it's still developmentally normal for him to think of himself first. How can you teach him generosity? Here are some ideas:
• Set a good example. Offer to share a snack and find other ways to insert the word "share" in conversation. "Would you like to share this seat with me?"
--> Yup. Improve. Banyak menolong skrang. Cuma kalau tengah malas tu.. hmm.. sangat lar malas

Get fit together
Four-year-olds are perpetual motion machines — running, jumping, hopping, wriggling, climbing. But this natural inclination to be active won't necessarily last forever. Take advantage of it while you've got it to develop healthy lifelong habits as a family. Join in the fun, stay active with your kids, and they're more likely to keep moving as they grow up.
--> Yup. Dia active tapi mummy yg tak active. So how? Tapi kalau berjalan memang dah susah nak tidur petang even dalam kereta.

The Eid Celebration Is Coming!



Few more days to celebrate the Hari Raya! Yippie! Yippie!

Mesti lar seronok.. atas bermacam sebab.. teringat pulak masa kecil-kecil dulu.. time ni me and my sis will be very busy decorating the house.. suma kad-kad raya yang datang berduyun-duyun tu lar jadi mangsa decoration kami.. hehehhe... mula lar pikir dinding mana nak ditampalnya kad-kad ni... pastu baru lar sibuk pikir nak wat kuih raya apa.. selalu nya my sis suka ngelat.. dia suka bab sukat-sukat and bancuh-bancuh.. yg kena terap sapa lagi.. gue leee.. sebab kerja tu kan sangat lambat and membosankan.. i still remembered we managed to make 6 raya biscuits a day before the raya.. memang kelam kabut... cam biasa lar kan.. masa tu lar semua orang berebut nak pakai dapur.. ngan ayah, mak nak masak laa... ktorang pun sibuk gak.. pastu ada kalanye that day lar baru sibuk nak cari baju raya (bukan yang baju kurung tapi baju nak meranggi) hehehe... yup.. memang best! pastu yg paling bess.. dapat main bunga api and mercun lar.. disebabkan ayah ada kedai.. so supplier yg jual bunga api tu selalu bagi ktorang bunga api/mercun yang paling best.. selalunye ayah akan simpan untuk malam raya tu sendiri... dan lepas tutup kedai.. baru ayah keluarkan... ayah our neighbour pun ikut sama join laaa.. memang syokkk.. pastu pagi raya lepas dah salam2 suma orang.. we will get ready to go to singapore.. sbb masa tu arwah atuk and nenek duduk sana.. tapi before ke sana.. our first stop will be our neighbour yg betul2 depan rumah.. rumah Mak Cik Sidah.. mama carries dia sedappp sangat... ngan ada biskut yg kaler pink.. tak ingat aaa biskut apa ntah namanya... pastu baru lar ke singapore.. mengharungi trafik jam yg berjam2 tu macam tak kisah lar sangat.. yelar.. bukannye ktorg yg bawak keta kan.. hehehe.. and of course dah sampai sana.. ngan all the cousin and the uncles and aunties dah ada sana.. memang seronot sangatt... tapi kekadang raya ke-2 or ke-3 baru leh buat camtu.. sebab masa tu arwah atuk and nenek selalu beraya kat mekah dulu before balik ke singapore.. apa pun memang syok..

tapi skrang suma tu dah takde.. actually bukan baru tapi dah lama.. kad raya pun dah susah nak dapat.. biskut tunjuk je yg banyak.. bunga api dah diharamkan.. gathering semakin kurang.. in fact sejak arwah atuk meninggal.. boleh kata langsung takde.. suma orang dah bawak haluan masing2.. yelar bila dah berkeluarga camtu lar kot.. tapi.. memang dah tak sama...

i tried to play my part as a mother.. to let my kids know why raya is important to celebrate.. i still kirim kad raya to the elderly.. i asked anisah to participate.. dia lar tukang jilat stamp.. heheheh.. and untuk abang and akak.. anisah yang tulis sendiri.. of course.. mummy kena eja untuk dia la kan.. but she's excited... skrang ni bukak radio Hot FM.. sebab nak suruh my kids dengar lagu raya (i lost my cd raya btw).. so dia akan appreciate that.. i have yet to let them involve with the biscuits raya baking.. sebab.. oven rumah tu rosak lagi.. and tak sempat nak gi betulkan.. bunga api... susah nak carik.. but already asked ardi to look for it.. even though illegal.. heheheh.. yeah.. the gathering is another thing i kena consider.. lucky.. ardi's family still practising this.. tu pun aku rasa sebab suma orang duduk tak jauh and the mother (ibu) is still very much in power to decide.. but will it still the same soon? aku pun tak tau..

as for my own family.. of course the big gathering will no longer happen.. even in our wildest dreams.. so the gathering will only be between me, my siblings and my mother... tapi tahun ni.. akak tak dapat balik raya.. sebab raya tahun ni jatuh masa awal bulan so akak kena ada kat area KL ni.. she'll be back later.. oleh itu.. we decide for mak to come over here to raya with us.. she'll be staying at akak's place.. as for me.. since mak ada sini.. memang lar tak balik raya pertama.. so first day kat shah alam.. then 2nd day.. amik mak untuk balik JB.. and along the raya beraya lar terus.. abang akan beraya kat rumah mertua dia dulu since mak takde kat JB.. tapi on the 2nd day tu masa bawak mak balik JB.. we will go to his nertua nye rumah kat Batu Pahat.. and after that, I plan to go to our sedara2 nye rumah along the way sampai lar ke JB.. i want that Burasak (bugis nye tradisional food for raya, later i take picture of it ye kalau ingat lar).. as for EE.. untuk kali ke berapa lar.. dia tak dapat beraya ngan kitaorang.. he's now in Switzerland for job training.. i am looking forward for this raya.. tapi baju yang sesuai takde lagi ni.. alamakkkk!!

To all my readers.. SELAMAT HARI RAYA and MAAF ZAHIR BATIN

Our Escapade.. or is it only My Escapade

Ardi have a meeting in Kerteh for the second time in 2 weeks. The first trip, he went with colleagues and stayed at Awana Kijal. He made me feel so envy with his stay there.

So when he told me he had to go again, aku pun dah mula gatal cam nak ikut. More, he said he's going alone. Okey what excuse should I give to go. Oooo the excuse not to Ardi but to my boss. hehehe.. Unfortunately on the night before he left, I had stomach pain, how coincidence huh! And to make matter worst, I was vomitting after had sahur and buang-buang air. So, yeah I found my excuse. Hahahaha... And there I went to the clinic nad explain my situation. Apparently doctor said, I almost got gastric. And without hesitation, I asked doctor to gove me 2 days MC. ahhahaha.. At 11 plus picked up my kids, get them ready to go for the quick journey.

So around 3pm, there we off to Kerteh.. and it felt good. And the pain was over. hahahaha.. We break our fast at Tanjung Lumpur, Kuantan before heading to Awana. Upon reaching the room, the kids was frantically excited since there was a jacuzzi tub inside the room. The next morning, both of them woke me up cause tak sabar nak masuk 'swimming pool'. Yup, the jacuzzi tub jadi swimming pool untukd orang. And yeah they really had fun.

Ardi's meeting was at 11am. So by 10.30 we checked out from the hotel and I send him to the Petronas office where the meeting was held. Pastu, nak gi mana ye? Looked at the map, ooo.. Dungun was only 40km away. So I drove the kids to Dungun without knowing what to do there. ooo.. I don't dare to bring the kids to tepi pantai without Ardi. Sampai Dungun, bought new sandals for Anisah. Unfortunately untuk Amil takde yang sesuai. And bought some toys for the kids supaya tak boring dalam kereta. Around 1pm, I drove back to Kerteh, and make a stopover to McDonald's to get lunch for the kids. Apparently, there are only 2 McD outlets throughout the whole Terengganu.

Passing thru the Petronas Oil Refinery amazed me. Wow, this is where the money comes from. Being in Kerteh, make me feel so calm. The place is quiet and very peaceful. I told Ardi I don't mind if he has to transfer to this place. At least less stressful and away from city life which sometimes make me sick.

But the getaway was a pleasant one. ALthough kena melayan kerenah budak kecik dua orang tu.. but it was a good one. Maybe I can do this more often if I don;t have to work kan?? hehehhe

Temperamental Mode

I haven't been in this mode for quite a long time. At least not after I left my previous company. I am very ticked with people who thought there are good at something just because they have stayed in the company fo such a long time. And just because you are wayyyyy older, that doesn't mean what you did is right.

I have just yelled at my colleague because he refused to do what I requested. My request was very simple, to switch On the engine so that I can detect the car location since we have just installed the unit to the car. So I need to get the current location. He said no need to since the unit is already On. How can that be since he just removed the battery and it will not work if the battery is not there and the engine is off. Then only he said he had replaced the battery without me or the admin knowing. He simply did what he thought is right. And now the unit is not active. And who to answer later... THAT WILL BE ME!!! Stupid old man..

Malam Jumaat

My sister's best friend passed away a day after I posted about her in the blog. I was trembling for a while when I heard the news which was during break fast time when my sister called. I had a dream about her last night. My in-law said, it was such a blessing, she passed away on a friday night in bulan Ramadhan.. at least salah satu seksaan terlepas...

Semoga roh Allahyarham Kak Liza dicucuri rahmat.. Al-fatihah

Bugs That Cause Cancer- And What You Can Do About It

I found this in this doctor's blog website..

The two easiest ways to help to prevent two common cancers is easily obtainable but not generally known to the public.


Stomach cancer, which is the second leading cause of deaths due to cancer, shows a worldwide incidence but seems to be more common in the Far East where it is attributable to the consumption of pickled and salted foods. However, it is now known that a cause of stomach cancer is a bug well-known for causing stomach and duodenal ulcers, called Helicobacter pylori (H pylori). Now, researchers have shown that if they were to eliminate this bug from those suffering from early stages of this cancer, they were able to effect a cure. Read more of this here.

More doctors believe that if one’s stomach contains these bugs,it may be better to rid of them by swallowing a course of antibiotics.

For patients having symptoms suggestive of stomach ulcers(the non-cancerous kind), the presence of H pylori can easily be detected by a few easy ways, including breath tests and blood sampling. Sometimes, a scope needs to be inserted into the stomach to obtain tissue samples. Once the test is confirmed positive, a 2-week course of antibiotics that includes one or more of these -lansoprazole, amoxycillin or clarithromycin- is given to eliminate this bug from the stomach.

Primary liver cancer, the fifth most common cancer in the world, is a deadly cancer for which the outlook is bad as, by the time someone has symptoms, the cancer is far-advanced and has spread to other organs. Again, a bug - the hepatitis B virus-has been identified to be the cause in 50% of primary liver cancers aka hepatocellular carcinoma, aka hepatoma.

The role of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in causing liver cancer is well established. So much so, an effective means of prevention is to get Hepatitis B immunisation shots after a prior blood test has confirmed the absence of previous infection due to hepatitis B virus. In most countries in Asia, it is already mandatory for all newborns to be immunised, so there is a real chance that the incidence of liver cancer due to hepatitis B will fall dramatically in the near future.

On other note, my father passed away due to liver cancer. So do take this seriously.
