S A B Sheikh A R

Nina had her immunisation again yesterday (11/11/09). Prior to that, mommy called the clinic untuk buat appointment, seminggu sebelum tu. Masa buat call tu, pihak clinik takleh nak retrieve nama Nina, walaupun Nina dah 2 kali pergi situ. So this is the conversation:

Mommy: Hi morning, my name is Shafidah. I would like to make an appointment for my little gal for her immunisation. We would like to see Dr. Judy please.

Receptionist: Dr. Judy will only available next week on Wednesday, 11 November

Mommy: Yup, that's fine...just book for me the earliest in the morning, say 8.30am

Receptionist: Surname please..

Mommy: Sheikh Abdul Rezan (kita kat malaysia kan..kalau orang tanya surname kan, kita bagi nama bapak kan...)

Receptionist: Her first name?

Mommy: Syahmeen

Receptionist: Nope, we couldn't get her data..

Mommy: Try her birth date, 8th July..

Receptionist: 2009?

Mommy: Yeap..

Receptionist: S A B Sheikh A R??? Is that her..?

hukk alaahhh..apa mandai2 jerrr depa pi tukaq nama anak kuuu heheheheh

Anyway, lepas immunisation and consultation, mommy just let the doctor know that would be our last visit, since we are leaving the country very soon. Hmmm, rasa sedih jugak..sebab macam dah biasa dengan doctor ni. Masa mula2 jumpa dulu, nampak macam garang, tapi sebenarnya baik sangat. very motherly..and indeed she's a good doctor. Thanks doc!

Nina posed with Judith Salmon, doctor yang jaga Nina and mommy sejak Nina dalam perut.

Cobaan mencurikk!

Orang tua selalu cakap 'ada hikmah sebalik kejadian'. Or..kita kerap juga sebut 'nasib baik bla bla bla...kalau tak, mesti bla bla bla.... '

Kami outing sekejap semalam. Papa pegi swim kat clove valley, while mommy jalan2 bawak nina. Papa lapar pulak lepas swim, so kami singgah pulak ke pacific square pi cari makan. Papa kata nak makan nando's. We went.

Lepas tu kami balik. Nina macam biasa, nak susu. the fact that, dia skrg ni tgh buat perangai, so mommy susukan dalam kereta. Macam biasa, nina menyusu lama, so bila sampai ke Malaysia Hall, kami still tunggu dalam kereta, tunggu nina habis minum.

Suddenly papa cakap 'ehh sape tu? nampak macam strange jer'. Papa nampak seseorang yang obviously bukan malaysian, masuk ke kawasan Malaysia Hall tu. Mommy pusing belakang, and nampak seorang lelaki muda jalan straight to the end, and nampak dia duduk kat situ. Memang nampak pelik.

Then papa masuk ke dalam Malaysia Hall, and bagitau ngan budak2 penghuni kat situ yang sedang watching tv. Diorang pegi tengok sama2. Nak tahu apa mamat tu buat??? hmmmm tengah cuba nak mencuri basikal yang budak2 ni parking kat situ. Hukkk alaaahhh, 'determine' betul ekkk, siang2 buta pun nak buat hal! Tapi yang mommy pelik..bila lelaki ni sedar yang budak2 ni datang ke arah dia, dia terus bangun and jalan keluar. Yang budak2 ni pulakk, biar je lelaki tu walk out. hahahhaa lepas macam tu je mamat tu.

Mommy cakap dalam hati masa tu 'nasib baik nina buat hal, so that kami stayed dalam kereta. Kalau tak..takde sape nampak mamat tu..and selamat le basikal tu kena curi' hehhehehehe

She is 4 months!

She is 4 months now. So fast time fly. As per in my previous entry, now I realized she is actually having a growh spurt symptom. Tapi awat lama sangat anakkk ku sayanggg??? Seminggu lebih dah ni.

But mommy reckon ada beberapa progress:

• Communicate well with mommy and papa. Able to respond/laugh when mommy & papa 'talk' to her.
• Tidur dah tak berapa nak in her swaddle wrap. Sebelum ni kalau tak bedung, memang payah nak tido. Tapi tido nyer sekejappp bebenor..
• Nampak macam dah besar/panjang. Suddenly baju2 tido yang Nina selalu pakai last week dah tak muat! Minggu ni mommy nak pegi measure Nina :)
• Nina dah pandai meniarap! She been doing that since she was 3 months and 17 days! Tengok gambar kat bawah..
  
  

Nina...

Nina ni kan...memang tauu :( Macam tau tau je mommy tak keje dah sekarang, buat perangai betul tauuu. All this while memang behave habess.

Sekarang ni (sejak mommy tak keje ni la, lebih kurang seminggu), dia bangun susu malam2 every after 2 hours. Macam dalam pantang dulu la pulakkk. Sebelum ni, dia tido lama nite time. Petang selalunya Aunty Sue dah mandikan dia, mommy amik Nina bawak balik rumah and susu kan lagi sekali, then around 6.30 - 7.00 pm, Nina akan tidur sampaii la tengah malam karang around 12.00 am baru dia bangun susu. Lepas tu dia akan bangun lagi around 3.00 am and 6.00 am. Sekarang ni, mommy jadi macam zombie.

Siang pulak, dia tidur sekejap bebenor. Paling lama sejam. Kadang setengah jam jer. Tapi bila dia bangun, dia tak nangis pun. Nak susu every 2 hours. Siang semalam, dia nak susu every 1 hour. Macam dia tak cukup kenyang, nampak gaya macam susu tu tak satisfy her. Nape Nina....

Mommy terfikir mungkin ke Nina ni dah nak makan. Should mommy introduce Nina with some solid food a.k.a puree. Kadang Bila mommy makan, Nina seems interested in food eaten by mommy. And always put things/ her hand in mouth. So semalam mommy bawak Nina pegi children health centre to find out apa yang tak kena ngan Nina. Orang kat situ cakap 'yeaaa u can give her some if she want..'

So semalam, mommy beli rice cereal. Bila mommy bagi, taknak pulak. Nangisss memanjang. Then malam tadi, papa beli pulak puree from woolies, pagi ni mommy try lagi bagi dia, pun tak nak. Nina pushed the food with her tounge.

Apa Nina nak ni yer? Nak kata dia kembung..tak pulak. Nak kata, dia tak selesa ngan cuaca yang dah makin panas ni..rasanya tak jugak. Sebab mommy always put singlet on her and let the fan on. Mungkin ke Nina tak biasa ngan tempat baru?? Tapi dah seminggu lebih kat sini, takkan Nina belum adapt kot. hmmmm nape ehhh? Nape Nina tak berapa nak tido and asik nak makannnn semanjang ehh? Or this things sebenarnya normal untuk budak yan tgh growing like her..?

Nina..you make mommy wonder and worry tauuu :(

heyy...im going to be 4 months in 2 days time :)

Hari Panas vs Mendung

Hari ni mendung je kat luar ni. Tadi bangun pagi, bisik kat Nina 'kita keluar pi jalan2 ke park hari ni yerr'. Sekali tuu, bila saya jenguk ke luar, tgk jalan basah macam baru kena hujan. Rasa pelik la pulak, bila masa hujan ni! Semalam punya la panas. Sangat2 panas sampai 36C. Tak berani nak keluar ke mana2 semalam.

Then, saya siap2 la jugak sebab mmg dah boring tahap gaban ni. Ingat memang nak sedut udara luar. Sekali tengok..hujan la pulakkkk. hmmmm. Sejak2 dah moved out dari rumah sewa yang kami hinap dulu, skrg baru laa tersedar how I actually miss the house. Buruk2 pun rumah sendiri...serioulsy, now i miss the house!

Ok, back to yesterday yang extremely panas tu. Kat depan tempat kitorang duduk skrg ni ada race course. Happended that semalam kan Melbourne Cup, so manusia2 ni beramai2 le datang ntah dari ceruk mana tahhh, datang nak menonton the race secara live. Perghhhh macam2 pesen baju diornang pakai. Berwarna-warni macam artis2 nak pegi amik award tu.

Masa pegi..kemain cantik2..bila time balik, ada yang bukak kasut siap ;)) specially yang pompuan2 lerr hehhehe. Agaknyerr sakit kaki kot, pakai kasut tingi sangat plus payah nak jalan kedek2 masa hari panas2 buta tu agaknyerrr. Lawak pulakkk nengokk.

So semalam tak keluar, hari ni pun tak jadi keluar. Sebab Mommy risau kang kalu hujan kan ke leceh. Malas nak drive kereta, sebab ingat nak take a walk je. Sambil2 tuuu leh exercise utk menurunkan berat badan ku yang start me'rocket' nihhh. Sian Nina, duduk lagi kat bilik ni yerr! hmmm agaknye kan, kalau Nina dah pandai cakap, for sure dia akan tanya 'mommy, hari bila yang kita boleh keluar??? panas tak boleh..mendung pun tak boleh...' hehehehe

ok, kat bawah ni beberapa gambar yang saya dapat teropong dari tingkap bilik kitorang...

Nasi Lemak King

Sepatutnya by semalam (1 nov) saya dah ada kat Malaysia. Ticket balik ke Malaysia sebelum ni was on 31st Oct 09. Tapi last minute kami tukar ticket, tangguh another 3 week to fly back.

Kami dah moved out dari rumah yang kami sewa all this while. At the moment stay katMalaysia Hall untill 15 Nov. So pagi semalam kami sarapan nasi lemak, and suddenly hubby cakap 'patutnya by now kita dah ada kat KL, and makan 'Nasi Lemak King'..'

Nak tahu kenapa dia sebut 'King'? Sebab.....kat sini nasi lemak sepinggan $8, so converted to RM dah berapa dah tuu..? RM24 mmg dapat King size le kannn :D

Lupa!

I've to many times lupa this and that. Sometime, the matter that I lupa, was really a must/important. When I told freinds, they will say 'ni anak baru sorang dah pelupa.. ' :( Well, this is not something yang I nak pun. Tak nak laaa asik lupa2..tapi dah nak lupa, nak buat camana kan.

There are 2 times, I sent Nina to her sitter. When I reached there, I suddenly realized that I forgot her milk! Kesian Nina..and kesian mommy juga, sebab dah sampai office, kena balik semula ke rumah and hantar her susu to rumah aunty Su.

Ada lagi sekali, I was driving to work. Half way driving..tetiba tersedar tak bawak handbag! Aiiishhhhh. Kena patah balik ke rumah.

Ni terbaru ni..pi beraya rumah org, tertinggal jam tangan pulak. Bukan sekali, but 2 kali! Mula2 pi beraya kat area Eastlakes nun..tertinggal kat situ. Tapi takde la kisah nak tanya, sebab ingatkan jam tangan tu just missing dalam rumah ni jer. Beberapa hari lepas tu, tuan rumah yang buat open house tu email buat announcement tanya kot ada sape2 hilang jam. Baru ku sedar, rupanye jam tangan ku tertinggal kat rumah org.

Lagi sekali, beraya kat Marrickville pulak. Pun camtu gak..pi amik air semayang, tertinggal jam tangan kat bilik air org tu. Hari pertama hilang tu..tak kisah lagi, sebab ingatkan masih dalam rumah. Hari kedua tak gak jumpa2, then tanya kat tuan rumah..rupanya tetinggal kat sana! hishhhh apa ke teruk sangat pelupa ni???????

Gali Liang Sendiri

I had accidently learnt a new peribahasa today 'gali liang sendiri'. (I do not know whether or not we call it peribahasa, or etc sebab I had never heard that before). Paham dakk apa maksudnye tuu??? It's mean the situation where you cant move anymore. Left and right kena! Gerak ke depan mati, gerak ke belakang pun mati. So the best thing is..gali ler liang sendiri. Yang biasa2 didengar selama ni was 'di telan mati mak, diluah mati bapak'.

Haaa tu laaa, buat jahat lagi. orang tua2 dari dulu2 dah sebut dahhh..'dunia ni bulat'. Indah sungguh peribahasa2 orang kita ni yerrr. And satu lagi peribahasa 'sepandai2 tupai melompat, akhir nye jatuh ke tanah jua!'. Tapi tupai ni lum jatuh lagi...dah berapa kali tergelincir nak jatuh dahh tuuuu! haihhhhhh licik sungguh!

Isshhh makin hari makin terserlah. Satu persatuu! Sempat ke aku nak berparty nii??? or dapat ke aku nak sedekah pulut kuning kat kawan2 kat Sydney niii???

Pssttt.orang orang yang berkenaan je yang paham apa benda yang aku tulis nii..kwang kwang kwang..

update: oowhhh one of my friend did baca this entry. She responded and said 'makna lagi tepat for that is - sendiri cari pasal, sendiri susah! And she said the peribahasa 'ditelan mati mak, diluah mati bapak' tu is more for decision making and it is tak sama langsung with 'gali liang sendiri' nii. OOOO macam tu kaaa :D tocey toceyy

Kasih Suci

I just love this song. I think Nina do like it too! She been listening to this, singing by me since she was in the womb. I like the lyric..so so so meaningful. Mommy dedicate this song to Nina & Papa - I love you!

Memang dasar pemalas!

heehe im in the midst of cleaning up my inbox. Tetiba terjumpa email ni..lawaksss, i just copy & paste the story, titled 'nak cerita pun malas..'



Pada masa dahulu, ada sebuah kampung di mana semua rakyatnya amat rajin belaka tidak ada yang malas. Jadi pada suatu hari, rajanya membuat pengumuman hendak mencari seorang yang malas.

Semasa perhimpunan itu, adalah seorang lelaki mengaku, katanya, "Patik adalah yang paling malas." Raja pun bertanya, "Apa tahap malas tuan hamba?" Lalu jawab lelaki tersebut, "Kalau patik hendak makan, ada orang yang suapkan patik."

Tiba-tiba datang seorang lelaki lagi lalu berkata, "Patik lebih malas lagi daripada dia tuanku." Tuanku pun bertanya kepadanya, "Sampai mana pulak tahap malas tuan hamba?" Maka jawabnya, "Kalau patik makanpun, sampai ada orang tolong kunyahkan."

Maka raja pun terdiam seketika. Tanpa disangka² datang seorang budak lelaki kepadanya sambil berkata,"Patik adalah yang paling malas tuanku." Raja pun bertanya, "Bagaimana pula tahap kemalasan kamu si budak?" Budak itu pun menjawab, "Nak cite pun malas"...hehe

Lalat!

wahhhh kemain bermaharajalela lagi ehhh! syiooh siohhh... pi main jauh2!

Hishhhh lalat niii, macam takde tempat lain dia nak hinggap tauu! Ade ke kat muka anak ku yang yang sedang lena beradu tuhhh...


Heran tau lalat sini, berani..tak macam lalat kita kat Malaysia, ;)). Suka attack muka orang. I still remember when i was in Melbourne during summer 2007. Masa tu kat Great Ocean Road, huhhhh menepis lalat macam menepis lebah! Ada ornag yang siap pakai net tutup muka macam orang nak amik madu lebah tu. Banyak gilerssssss & berani gilersssss! Tapi jarang2 jumpa ngan lalat ni. Yang sekor ni pun ntah dari mana sesatnyer..selalu time panas2 jer dia muncul. Ni keluar awal, pulak tuuu kelaur sorang2. Mana tahh geng2 dia yang lain :D

When she was exactly 3 months..

As ussual, this is a backdated entry.. :D

Kemalasan berblog melanda lagi..

Tengah rajin dengan benda lain sekrg ni..

(pssttt actually tak ler rajin, tapi terpaksa buat!!)

Layan gambar Nina..she is 3 months & 2 days today..

Kantoi..

Haahahaa lawakssss. I copied & paste the story from my inbox. Happy reading!

Seorang suami sedang mencari-cari helah untuk membolehkan dia berkahwin lagi.Antara alasan yang diberikannya:

Suami : Lelaki kawin 3 baru lah sah
Isteri : Kenapa pula?
Suami : Cuba terjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Inggeris, "satu" is one, "dua" is two, "tiga"isteri (is three). Baru betul dan sah!.
Isteri : Tapi abang kena faham Bahasa Inggeris, terutama tentang "singular" dan "plural"
Suami : Berkenaan apa tu?Isteri : Satu tu "Singular"; dua atau lebih "Plural"
Suami : Contohnya?
Isteri : One car sebagai singular, two cars sebagai plural. Apa bezanya?
Suami : Ohhh... tambah huruf "s" untuk yang plural
Isteri : Betul tu. Sama juga la untuk abang
Suami : Macam mana pula boleh sama?
Isteri : Satu isteri abang MAMPU, jika dua isteri dah jadi plural, maka abang MAMPUS tambah "s" je, kan?

Lepas daripada tu, si-suami tidak pernah lagi berceritakan hasratnya untuk berkahwin lagi...

Long Weekend & Sick Nina

Was a long weekend here. Cuti for labour day on 5th October. Tapi rasa sekejap sangat 3 hari tu gone. And day light saving started again yesterday, 4th October 2009, when clock has been put forward an hour at 2.00 am.

Nina was sick started last thursday night. Batuk & selsema, but takde demam. Pitty girl. Took her to the doctor on friday afternoon, tapi doctor cakap takyah ubat. Mommy tersangattttt la worried, sebab Nina batuk berkahak. And Nina muntah berkali2..mungkin dia rasa lega lepas muntah kot, sebab kahak dapat keluar. Bila tengok Nina muntah, Mommy a bit panic, sebab Nina jarang2 muntah. She looks better today, still ada batuk, but not that bad like saturday.

On the same note, Nina sakit tak meragam. Sangatttt behave. Sleep well, drink well, play well...baiiikkk anak Mommy. Mommy sayanggg tauuu!

Owwhh lagi satu, agaknyer betul orang tua cakap, budak kecik kalau nak pandai apa2 benda baru, kadang2 baby akan demam/sakit. Last night, Mommy nak keluar air mata tengok Nina dah pandai mengiring! yeahhhhh...Mommy agak tertunggu2 jugak sebelum ni, sebab Nina dah nak 3 bulan tak lama lagi (4 days to 3 month). Last2 mengiring jugakkk dia :D

Sick Nina...

October

October dah datang!

Aku sepatutnya jobless start hari ni. Tapi kuasa tuhan kan, memang tuhan dah tetapkan, rezeki aku masih ada lagi di bumi Sydney ini. Rezeki kita manusia ni..semuanya di tangan Allah. Kalau orang nak sekat camana pun..tapi kalau Allah dah tentukan mmg rezeki kita, insyallah....

Kadang kadang manusia ni lupa bila diberi kuasa, or mungkin juga angkuh. Aku masih ingat lagi antara kata-kata pakcik tu masa ucapan hari raya hari tu 'think before act, bukan act dulu baru think'. hmmmmm I wish I can tell him 'oowhh you should tell that to yourself first & practise it!'.

Tapi tak apa lah. Bumi Allah ni bulat, ada masa kita di atas and ada masa kita di bawah. Aku doa semoga aku tak jadi orang yang alpa. Mohon dijauhkan! Semoga aku sentiasa beringat untuk membantu sesama manusia, bukan nya menganiaya - macam pakcik tu buat kat aku! Nak kata tak maafkan dia, tidak lerr smapai macam tuu, tapi orang kata 'luka ni masih berparut'..mungkin sampai mati pun aku tak lupa apa dia buat kot!

Since aku masih lagi bekerja hari ni, so terbatal niat aku nak mula mengarang cerpen tajuk 'pak pandir' kat blog ni. Nanti2 lah...!

You fooling yourself! Funny!

PERHATIAN: INI ENTRY TAK FRIENDLY VERSION. Rasanye, from now on, kena create satu lagi label for post - 'lepas geram'! From now on, akan selalu muncul entry2 yang sebegini untuk humban segala perasaan geram tu kat sini. Sape nak terasa, nak marah, marah lah! Hati aku lagi marah! Bukan nak melatah, tapi memang rasa menyesal! Tak boleh nak figure out apa muslihat pakcikk ni. Someone told me 'use your brain, dont use your emosi. Jangan layan pakcik tuu..biarkan dia terjun dengan labu-labunya'.

It is always in my mind, my SIL's nasihat - 'always see beauty things behind any trouble/problem we facing with'. Yes i admit that. Sesuatu yang berlaku tu..kemudian hari nanti mesti kita akan nampak kebaikan nye. And biasa sangat kita dengar orang sebut 'ada hikmah disebalik kejadian' - aku tunggu apa kah hikmah sebalik kejadian ni?????

And my husband pulak always said..the beauty of being a muslim is 'bila kita bersyukur apabila diberi nikmat, Allah ganjarkan dengan pahala. And bila kita ditimpa masalah and kita tetap bersyukur and redha dengan ujiannya, Allah akan ganjarkan dengan pahala juga.' Alhamdulillah.

Tapi kita ni manusia biasa, hati memang terasa sangat sakit bila tahu orang yang tak berhati perut ni bercakap sesuka hati. Hati meradang bila tahu dia berkempen satu Sydney nak menegakkan benang yang basah. Betapa marah rasa hati ni. Nak pandang muka pakcik ni pun aku dah meluat.

As i said kat atas tu, ntah apa lagi muslihat dia. Konon minta maaf, konon dah takde apa2, tapi bertapa 'tak wangi' nya hati dia..bila diumpatnya tetamu ini dengan tujuan untuk memalukan! Ishhhh kalau la ku tahu! Ishhh memang menyesal!!! Kek yang sebijikkk besar tu punnn, ntah apa laaa muslihatnya agaknyerr! Orang kalau dah tersepit, macam tu lerrr...cakap pun ntah haper2!

Hmmmm mungkin betul apa yang kawan aku cakap. He is actually fooling himself. Cerita lahh! kempen lahh! Satu Sydney! Even satu Australia pun takpe! Aku tahu kebenaran akan muncul satu hari nanti. And masa tu..org tahu laa sape dia!

I know he is reading this! But sape kesahhhh!

In her denim..

Heyyy, am I look good in this???? :D

This denim was given by Uncle Baim & Aunty Alia when they came to visit us during my confinement. They bought the 0-3 months size. Nina was sooo tiny when she born, so i was guessing that Nina will only can fit this only after raya or at least during raya.

Nina prove me wrong as she grew so speedy. She can fit this since she was 7 weeks. And now (raya) this denim quite tight to her. Saaayang anak mommy, cepat betul dia besar!

Nina's first raya in her life..

1 syawal dah seminggu berlalu, saya baru nak terhegeh2 nak cerita pasal raya. And baru perasan yang saya tak ucap selamat hari raya pun pada semua yang datang baca blog saya ni. Rasanye belum terlambat, raya kan sebulan kan... :D

"Selamat Hari Raya kepada semua muslimin & muslimat yang membaca my humble blog ini. Mohon maaf zahir dan batin kalau selama saya berblog ni, saya pernah menyinggung perasaan sesiapa, samada sengaja atau tidak."

Nina: Sama tak muka saya dengan papa...?

Our raya here wasnt that bad, walaupun hat ni asik dokk teringat Malaysia. Raya must be more meriah kalau kami kat sana dengan sedara mara. Atok & Wan balik Rembau, for sure diorang excited kalau Nina around. Wan keep telling us that she miss Nina. Kesian Wan...tunggu yer, tak lama lagi Nina balik :D

Nanny kat Shah Alam for sure akan meriah raya nyer kalau tahun ni kami sekeluarga ada. Kesian Nanny...boleh kata every year Nanny raya sendiri sejak kak Naz migrated to NZ. Takpe Nanny, next year we will be around with you.

Owhh, Nina quite sporting when kami bawak dia jalan raya. Most of the time dia tidoooo aje. Orang cakap 'baik nyerr diaaaa, tak dengar pun suara dia menangis'. Yerrrr memang baikkk, tetapiiii...cuma Mommy ngan Papa je yang tahu how perit our telinga kalau tiba masa Nina menjerit. Sekuat hatiiii dia meneran! But for me..not bad la kann sebab she seems tahu behave kalau kat luar rumah hhahaaaa, and hopefully sampai bila2 la dia macam tuuu.

Untuk kenang-kenangan kami kemudian hari nanti....

Nina's first baju raya in her life..

Nina got her first duit raya from Aunty Sarah..tinkiu Aunty..mmmuahh!

Special kan..sampul duit raya ni..?

I'm looking forward

I really feeling happy & excited while I'm typing this. Im looking forward for few thingsss at this moment..the first and foremost, I'm looking forward for my husband to finish his study soon. Really want to see him to put an end to his research (end for his phd, but i know he is going to have another chapterssss of reseach after this, that's him!!).

Secondly, I'm looking forward to go home. As I said in my previous entry, how I wish to have my family around for my raya. I really wanna go home! I miss them! I miss Ampang! I miss nasi kerabu selling by the makcik next to Pasar Keramat! I miss to see my frenss! & I miss Eric the most! Eric..mummy miss youuuu! (And mummy miss all my other nieces and nephews, of coz!!)

There is another one thing that I'm looking forward for, which I cant write it here! please please please...I want it to be happened. 'Ya Allah yang maha berkuasa..makbulkan lah permintan hamba mu ini...Aminnnn'

p/s: owhh yaaa! I still havent put up our first raya with Nina in this space. Will do it soon!

Raya Prep

hmm semakin lama semakin jarang saya menulis yerr. Jangan kata nak menulis, nak jenguk ke sini pun dah jarang2. Not much things to say pun..

Hari ni last day keje before hari raya cuti. Its gonna be a long weekend for us, start from tomorrow till tuesday. Will resume back to work on wednesday. Hmm since cuti lama, and High Commision of Malaysia will be opened on Tuesday, saya amik kesempatan untuk pegi buat pasport Nina. Mana la tau kot2 nak keluar dari Aus ni kejap kann, siap2 kan aje laaa..

Raya preparation???? hmm nothing much as we are now far part from sanak saudara, takde apa nak buat pun. Sama macam tahun2 yang sebelum ni la.., mmg takde masak pun untuk hari raya. Normally we just jalan raya, then we set one day in syawal for open open house and panggil kawan2. Nampaknya tahun ni takde buat open house la kot. I dont think i can cope with open house with Nina around. Lagi2 pulak i will start packing barang. Memang tak ter'buka' la rumah kami tahun ni nampaknye :D

I do not know why this year i have different feeling about meyambut raya ni. Kalau tahun2 sebelumnya..rasa tak kisah pun beraya jauh dari mak, abah & adik2. Tapi tahun nii rasa sebak nak balikkkkk. Nape yerr? Rasa nak sangat balik raya kat Malaysia ngan diorang. This year will be my 4th raya without them.

Owhhh, mak & abah ada hantar baju raya for me. Baju kurung. Rezan's baju melayu memang dorang dah bawak masa ke sini last July. Mak kirim baju Nina sekali pun. Thank you Wan! Nina muat baju2 tuu, Nina dah besarrrrr. Besok rasanya macam nak pegi cari baju raya for Nina, mesti cute Nina on raya morning with her gown! hehehe

2 month

Nina is 2 months.

2 months & 2 days to be exact!

Rambut Baru Nina

Untuk Atok, Wan, Nanny, Acik Ciela, Acik Ajoi, Ucu Sopi, Ucu Midi, Paklang & Mak Lang: yang nak tengok rambut Nina yang baru tumbuh. Dah banyakkkkkkk. Makna nyer, raya nanti Nina dah ada rambut hehehhe

Hari Raya

Relevant kahhh tajuk tuu?? sebenarnya nak tulis pasal gambar/ucapan selamat hari raya..tapi nak shortcut :-)

Orang lain sibuk2 amik gambar nak hantar ke suratkabar..tapi saya tak penah terfikir nak buat. Tapi tahun ni..macam nak hantar laa. hehehe my sister in law ada sorang keje kat 'TheStar'. Rasa macam nak call dia lahh..nak mintak dia buatkan. Ooopsss...zaman sekarang..nak buat apa2, semua nak kena ada cable ekkk??? Tengah berkira kira ni..nak hantar, taknak hantar, nak hantar, taknak hantar, nak hantar..shud i??

Pandai nyerrrr

oooo macam gitu kaaaaa???? Pandainyerr diaaaa..! Berani nyerr diaaa....! and what is next???

I'll be back to work tomorrow!

alohh alohh aloohh, malasssss
setelah sekian lama bercuti, esok dah nak kena keje..hadeiiiiiii!

24-30 Ogos..

I have few things nak tulis sebenarnye sepanjang minggu ni. Tapi asik bertangguh jerr. Tak sempat memanjang. So hari ni nak tulis sekaligus.


Isnin - 24 Ogos 09
Pegi 6th week post-natal check up. Everything seem ok for both of us. Papa tanya kat doctor boleh tak kalu nak amik imunisation sekali for Nina, and doctor cakap boleh. Nina kena 2 cucuk hari tu, peha kiri kanan and satu oral. huhoooooooo dia nangisss macam tak hingattt. Doctor cakap ada chances Nina akan demam. Tapi alhamdulillahhhh, elokk je dia. Alhamdulillah...

Selasa - 25 Ogos 2009
First time afte Nina lahir, a day tanpa Nina. Saya hantar dia ke rumah baby sitter for trial. Tanya kat kawan tu, dia cakap ok jerr..Nina tak nangis. Legaaa

While Nina takde, saya pun menyiapkan lerr my to-do-list yang panjang berjela tu. Ke-sana ke-mari saya hari tu. Buat-itu, buat-ini. Dalam banyak2 item dalam list tu, ada 2 benda yang tak sempat nak buat, so tangguh kan le ke hari lain yang free nanti.

Rabu - 26 Ogos 2009
Pagi2 lagi bangun siapkan Nina and myself. Ada group discussion under Karitane, for baby's sleep setling class. Saya registerkan diri utk session tu sebab Nina not really settle minggu sebelumnya. Asal malam je dia tak mau tido. Dok berjaga serba tak kena. tensennnnnn. Tapi 2-3 hari sebelum session tu, dia turn ok pulak. And sampai hari ni dia ok..malam2 elok dahh dia tido.

Tapi saya pegi juga session tu, sebab the lactation concultant yang saya jumpa minggu sebelumnya cakap, perangai budak mmg akan berubah2. Biasanya masa 3rd, 6th and 8th week. And katanya the worse masa 12th week. hohooooo, Nina will turn 8 week this rabu..tunggu je laa apa perangai baru dia nanti heheheh

owhh, antara tips2 yang Karitane bagi for sleep setling:

• Wrap baby
• Massage
• Check baby sihat ke tak
• Mom pun kena jaga diet, specially yang breastfeed. Not to much sugar as nanti to much energy to baby, tu yang payan nak tido nanti. And watch out caffein.
• Build routine for baby - contoh ajar dia utk bezakan malam & siang, say...kita mandikan dia waktu petang, so that dia tahu lepas mandi kena tido as hari dah nak malam. And lagi masa nak tidokan baby, kita cakap word yang sama..say 'tido ye sayang..' everytime nak tidokan baby, kita cakap perkara yang sama, so that dia tahu it's time to sleep.
• apa lagi yerrrr....?????????

Khamis 27 Ogos 2009

Another day hantar Nina ke baby sitter and sekali lagi saya ke-hulu ke-hilir. Macam2 benda buat. Pegi eastgarden, bought 2 long skirt for myself, sebagai mengubati perasaan malas nak back to work ni. Mudah mudahan, dengan 2 skirt baru tu, bersemangat la sikit nanti...hahaaa

Jumaat, Sabtu, 28-29 Ogos 2009

Apa jadi ehh hari ni. Ada..tapi lupa dahhh. Nanti lahh

Ahad 30 Ogos 2009

Ke 'toys R us'. Destinasi baru kami sejak2 ada Nina. I know..I know, she's to small for toys..tapi kami bukan beli toys. Pi sana tujuan asalnya nak cari breasfeeding shawl, end up ntah apa2 barang lagi kami beli. Nina baru lahir tak sampai 2 bulan, tapi barang2 dia dah macam2. Agaknye bila nak balik Malaysia for good nanti, Nina's stuff lagi banyak dari Mommy's & papa's.

Beautifully Growing!

Nina is 6 weeks and 2 days today. She is beautifully growing, with her weight now 4.55kg and 53cm tall, compared to 2.945kg & 49cm respectively, when she born. Mommy happy with that!

While watching her progress, i am watching my weight too, i have 9 kilos to cut down after i delivered her. I've gained 13 kilos throughout the pregnancy, that brought me to 73kg. As per today, i've cut it down to 63.9, which means i have approximately 4 kilos to back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

I keep this note for my own reference in future:

8/7/9 - Nina born 2.945kg, mommy 69kg
19/7/09 - Nina 3.20kg, Mommy 68kg
24/7/09 - Nina 3.340kg, Mommy 67.7kg
30/7/09 - Nina 3.70kg, Mommy 66kg
21/8/09 - Nina 4.55kg, Mommy 63.9kg

Thank god for creating such a great system to help mother to reduce weight through breastfeeding, and thanks to Nina for helping Mommy! Probably Nina can help Mommy to get back my pre-marriage weight, which was 55kg. go go go..!

Atok & Wan dah balik...

I am now became 'slower' in blogging. I mean i was slow before..and now became worse! Cerita dah berapa hari, ni baru nak tulis. Takpe la kann :D

Mak & Abah dah balik Malaysia tinggalkan kami. Tinggal ler kami 3 beranak..meaning that, now come to the reality..everything kena settlekan sendiri. No more 'Wan & Atok' taking care of Nina while mommy away. Pegi mana-mana, kena bawa Nina along with mommy.

Sebulan Mak & Abah bersama kami kat rumah ni. Meaning that, sebulan lerr rumah ni tak sunyi. Masa Mak & Abah kat sini, meriah le sikit ruang tengah kat rumah ni..tv tu pun ada gak laa org nak tengok. Selama ni, memang jarang saya lepak kat ruang tengah tuu, tv tu memang jarang saya on.

Bila Mak & Abah dah balik, Nina macam paham jer. Selama Nina balik dari hospital lepas dia lahir until hari Mak & Abah balik ke Malaysia, rumah ni takde la sunyi. But now, tinggal Nina & mommy je kat rumah during daytime. Sunyi kan Nina... :(

Sydney Airport, 14th August 2009.. mak & abah balik ke Malaysia..

It's been a month

It's been a month...

1. Me and rezan were panicking wether or not I am in labour, waiting for her arrival..
2. We been appointed with the new position 'a full time and forever a PARENT'..
3. We been given a newborn baby to take home and we haven't even got the manual - then realising how much fun it is learning on the job.
4. We went to downstair cafe in the hospital for a cup of coffe, and suddenly few peoples turn to us and praised..'she's gorgeous', 'she's pretty'..how proud mommy and papa was..
5. Breathing in the best smell in the world..baby's smell!
6. Being in the sleepless nite - the most tired ever been in life - and the most happy.

Nina is 1 month old on 8th August 09!

Breast Feeding Support Unit and Aqleena's Weight

Pagi tadi pegi kelas kat Breast Feeding Suport Unit, RWH. I was referred to this unit sebab masa nak discharge dari hospital hari tu, saya ada breastfeeding problem. Rasa sakit masa feed Aqleena and it's sored, berdarah lagi! For couple days after discharged from hospital tu, just guna pump aje la..not so bad...

Actually, kelas yang saya attend tadi, bukan la kelas yang macam saya bayangkan. It was a one to one session, whereby a lactation consultant talking to a mum with a baby. Dia bagi tgk video and kita chat pasal teknik2 yang betul, supaya baby dapat suck to the maximum and mum tak rasa sakit. Coming friday ni mungkin kena pegi lagi...sebab tadi Aqleena tido jerrr tadi...so dia tak dapat tunjukkan practical untuk session kedua.

Okeh, masa kat kelas tu tadi, while saya tgk video..midwive amik Aqleena, untuk pegi timbang. We were so surprise sebab Aqleena put on weight more than what we expected. Newborn baby biasanya akan lost 10% from their birth weight and gain back in 2 weeks time. Tapi Aqleena did so well, when she only lost 5% on the day we discharged from hospital, and hari ni berat dia dah 3.2kg. She is exceeding her birth weight not even in 2 weeks. Syabbas betty!

Tremendous Birthday Gift from God!

I would like to remark this as the tremendous birthday gift in my life..our 'Shahmeen Aqleena'. Syukur Alhamdulillah semua nya dah selamat. Macam tak percaya i have my Shahmeen Aqleena in my arm earlier than expected due date, which supposedly on this coming sunday 19th July 2009. Aqleena born 11 days earlier (8th July 2009 - 6 days after my birthday).

Sebelum Aqleena lahir, saya mmg dah beberapa hari mengulang ke hospital due to my HBP untuk pregnancy day stay, start from 3rd July 09 (friday). Following monday and tuesday pun pegi juga lagi. Tapi on tuesday morning tu (7th July 09), saya dapat show, which was saya pun quite uncertain (is that a show or bukan?). Sampai hospital, saya bagitau midwive pasal show yang keluar tu..but then midwive cakap, nanti dia bagitau doctor. So saya pun buat treatment macam biasa sampai laaa ke petang. Takde rasa sakit pun..cuma rasa tighten yang kuat dari biasa.

Petang bila dah habis treatment..doctor datang check. Saya bagitau doctor and she confirmed that i have dilated 2cm. yahooooooooooooooooooo! Rasa seronok sangat masa tu sebab baby dah nak lahir anytime soon.

Around pukul 3pm macam tu, saya balik. Rezan fetch macam biasa, ntah kenapa hari tu saya taknak drive. Malam pukul 7, rasa tightening yang lagi kuat and semakin kerap, and it last for 40-50 seconds. uishhhhhh..dalam hati cakap 'beranak ke aku malam ni??? ini ke sakit nak beranak????' Pukul 11 malam ada rasa sakit sikit, macam senggugut yang very mild. Masa ni dah call hospital twice..but diorang tak kasi datang lagi. Pukul 12 malam call hospital lagi. Kali ni saya berkeras cakap nak datang hospital juga, sebab its was only me and rezan at home, and this is our first time. We totally do not know weather or not i'm in labour.

Sampai hospital, diorang buat Cardiotocography (CTG) untuk pick-up baby heart beat as well as contraction. Memang ada contraction dah masa ni, cuma saya belum rasa sakit. Saya and rezan bermalam kat hospital malam tu. Midwive yang jaga saya malam tu, nama nyer Racheal..sungguh comel and baik!

Esoknye..pukul 8 pagi..midwive tukar shift. Kali ni Suzanne pulak on duty. Tinggi lampai orang nyer and sangat lemah lembut, cantik pulak tu! So Zuzanne check, dia kata baru dilate 3 cm!! haperrrrrrrrrrrrrr??????????? punya laaa lama baru 3 cm. So Suzanne bagi option samada nak break water or nak tunggu (which is kalau tunggu naturally mgkn amik masa more than 24 hours). Saya masa tu nak semuanya settle cepat, so saya cakap..pecahkan aje!

Lepas water broke..bermula laa fasa sakit tuhhhhhhhhh!! hadeiiiiiiiii memang takleh tahan. Sakit yang tak boleh saya nak ungkap dengan kata2. Lepas sejam lebih menahan sakit, saya minta drug, diorang bagi gas. Gas tu macam tak working on me. Saya mintak yang lagi kuat, diorang bagi pentadine. So dapat la bertahan sikit. Lepas lebih kurang 3 jam lebih bersabung nyawa...lahir laaa puteri kami..Shahmeen Aqleena bte Sheikh Abdul Rezan @1.25pm @ 2.945kg @ Royal Women Hospital, Randwick NSW, Australia.

Was my birthday..

It was my birthday yesterday (2nd July), yang tah haper2. Infact, sebelum tuu, saya tak ingat pun my birthday was coming, sampai laa satu hari rezan tanya 'u nak apa for your birthday?' Banyak benda yang nak dipikir dalam kepala ni lately and mungkin juga to excited menunggu this little one to come out. Sebenarnye nak tulis pasal my birthday ni semalam, but I didn't managed to do so, i was running here and there....

I am actually on sick leave this whole week, from monday to friday (today)...but i dont understand what made me unsettled, rasa macam busy sesangat. Owwhh..sick leave tu..pasal high blood presure yang tetiba jerr elevated started from 22 June baru ni. I was doing very well sebelum ni, kalau tak caya..mehh la tgk my yellow card nii..all recorded there. Hamba allah yang suka suki je bagi stress kat saya tuuu...ingat sikit lahh...dia bukan takde anak..esok2 tuhan balas pulak kat dia. Apa2 jadi on me and this baby...you will hell responsible yerr!

So because of the sickness..my life suddenly became haywire. Asik laa mengulang ke GP and hospital. Tu yang busy sesangat tuu. And once in a while, saya pop-up juga ke office..kesian kat my superior..she is a nice lady...sebelum ni planned nak keje sampai 10 July before i go on maternity leave. Tetiba jadi camni pulakk..so saya rasa macam tak baik pulakk tinggalkan keje camtu jerr..kena laa ada handover kan... (sementara masih larat hehehe)..

Rabu lepas 1/7/09, early in the morning, pegi check BP. Camtu gak laaa..takmo turun2. Then suddenly in the afternoon, my GP called, suruh datang for blood test hari khamis (2/7/09). Uitttt masa tuu dah rasa takut dahh. So pagi2 tuu pegi laaa amik darah. The lady yang tukang amik darah tu was so sweet..heheheh masa dia tulis my DOB kat tabung darah tuu...dia cakap 'it's your birthday today!'

Blood test result came out this morning. So again, saya pegi ke GP. Masuk je bilik Dr. Judith, dia cakap, 'I have to send you to hospital' hahh!!! Something abnormal with my liver function because of this High BP..ayokkkkkk!!! So pegi laaa saya ke hospital hari nii...dari pagi sampaii ke malam, stay kat hospital. Last2, dia bagi balik, tapi monday kena datang lagii ke sana, utk repeat hari ni punya procedure. Hadeiiiiii...dah hujung2 pregnancy niii baru timbul macam2 yerr..

Hari nii..diorang keluarkan lagi medical certificate. Kali ni covering from coming monday 6 july sampai 19 july, huhhhhh..terasa macam lama tuhhhh, sebab saya ni bukan jenis yang betah kat rumah, boring gilerrrr!!

What a day.... :(

I'm physically exhausted this week, since last monday to be specific. Agaknyer sebab mentally pun stress kot. This 1 whole week, terasa begituuu berat and penat, and jugakk terasa makin lembab. Tak aperr lahhh..not long to go..

Owwh yaaa..last monday, pegi check up kat RWH, tak memasal blood pressure naik. Haaaaaa..doctor pun macam heran. I was doing very well all this while...tetiba jerr darah naik. Last friday..doctor suruh pi check and verify blood pressure kat GP, pun takmo turunnn..haiyoooo. Dr Judith suggested not to go to work untill delivery...and dia dah keluar surat punn...ayokkkkk! Since my due date will be on 19th July, i just told the doctor 'long way to goo..'

Even mggu ni (hari ni monday) pun kena pi check blood pressure lagii..and wednesday, kena jumpa Dr. Jutith lagii :( hmmm aper nak di kato..? semoga Allah bersama2 kamiii..aminnn.

Micheal Jackson and 'We are the World'

People talking about Micheal Jackson here and there. Well..all of us are god creatures, everyone will return back to him one day..

I dont understand myself, why everytime i talk about Micheal Jackson, i always associates him with this song 'We are the World' eventhough he sang very small part in it..

I am 35th week!

Semalam genap 35 week of my pregnancy. Dah lama tak tulis pasal my pregnancy...tulis kat sini pun, just for my own note, as this is my personnal blog..so boleh tulis apa saya suka kannnn...!

Banyak sangat perubahan yang ketara, antaranya:

• Kalau semayang..berdiri tegak & bila saya pandang ke bawah, dah tak nampak kaki. Nampak perut jerr hehhehe
• On the similar note, pasal semayang, dah tak larat nak sujud. Rasa mengah.
• Dah nak masuk 2 minggu..selalu dapat heartburn. Check dengan doctor the other day..doctor cakap that's common, ruang dalam perut dah compact, so bila makan..makanan lambat turun. In another words, dalam sehari kena makan same amount but kena devide dalam small portion.
• Because of that, saya tak berapa suka nak makan nasi. Prefer to go for bread atau anything yang light.
• hmm apa lagi..owhh ya! pagi2 still ok..cergas...but then, bila masuk tengahari..mak aihhhh letih sungguhhh laaaa. Nak jalan pun rasa tak larat.

So far alhamdulillah...bila pegi check up, everything was fine. Kaki mmg takde swell at all. BP ok, protein dalam urive pun ok, berat stabil..tak naik banyak. Baby progress on track...not so big and not so small.

Satu benda jerrr....last week, betul2 buat cuak. Tetiba baby tak gerak sangat..ade laa dalam 2 hari kot. Very slow...tak macam biasa. Hari kedua, saya cuba buat apa yang hospital advised sebelum ni (try for very cold sugary water like coke and rest for 1 hour). Pun tak jalan jugak. ishhh! Last2 saya call hospital, and they ask me to come for checking. Ingat pi sekejap jerr macam out-patient tuuuu. Rupanyerrrr..berejam2! ade laaa dekat setengah hari kot duk kat delivery suite tu! huhuuuuuu

I have another 2 weeks to go to 37th week. Lepas tuu...anytime this baby can come out. yeehaaaa! 'Her' papa dah syibuk2 suruh kemas beg, letak dalam kereta, incase kalau apa2 hal kan. Nanti laaa, sometime in this week i'll do that.

Coming 22nd June will be my last visit dengan doctor kat hospital. Lepas tu, appointment with Dr. Judith Salmon kat UNSW, once in a week until delivery. Setiap kali jumpa doctor Judith nii....dia akan cakap 'she's coming closer and closer...' hehhehhe yeahhhhh!

Kereta ke lori??

Woitt mat..besar nyerr kereta ko! Aku ingat ko drive keter merc, rupanyerrrr lori merc!! loooorrrrrrrr....kecohhh laaa koo :D

** apa makna nyerr nii**

Our sista visit us!

Me, sis Naz & my hubby (rezan)

Gambar ni sepatutnya dah lama sitting in this space...tapi saya malas! I just not in the mood of blogging. Pictures were taken when Rezan's elder sister came to Sydney on the 2nd week of May09 for conference. Ni masa kat airport, she was heading back to Dunedin, NZ.

Another Check-up

Another check-up yesterday (22nd April 09). Skrg check-up dah every 2 weeks. Visit yang lepas (awal bulan April hari tuu), kantoiii. Berat naik mendadak..and glucose test pun kantoii. Patutnya blood test result tu nak review semalam..tapi 2 hari lepas test tuu, dapat call dari health centre. Dr. Judy would like to see me ASAP! hah!!

So pegi lerr..glucose was a bit high (0.1 mg jerrr) huuhhh. Doctor suruh buat 2nd test, and kena ikut diet dia 3 hari beforehand. Semalam pi check-up...dapat lahh resultnyerr. Phewwwwwwwww..normal!!

Yang 2 minggu lepas tuu..rasanyerr saya tahu laa pasai apa yang tetiba glucose naik sikit tu. Rasanyerr sebab kuih lopes yang saya makan sehari sebelum tu. huhhuuu lain kali tak buat dahhhh, takuttttt!

Berat pun tak naik lagi so far..huhuu legaaaa! And yang lain2 pun semua well. Alhamdulillahhh.

If I Were A Boy

Layan Lagu ni..best! Tengahari tadi masa lunch break...tengok Oprah show, ada Beyonce. Terpikattt tengok Beyonce nyanyi lagu ni...penuh semangat. Sebelum ni dengar lagu ni macam tak layan sangat, tapi hari ni.. i just love it!

f I were a boy even just for a day, I'd roll out of bed in the morning, And throw on what I wanted, And go drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls, I'd kick it with who I wanted, And I'd never get confronted for it, 'Cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy, I think I could understand, How it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her, Cause I know how it hurts, When you lose the one you wanted, Cause he's taking you for granted, And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boyI would turn off my phone, Tell everyone it's broken, So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I'd put myself first, And make the rules as I go, Cause I know that she'd be faithful, Waiting for me to come home, to come home

If I were a boy, I think I could understand, How it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her, Cause I know how it hurts, When you lose the one you wanted, Cause he's taking you for granted, And everything you had got destroyed

It's a little too late for you to come back, Say it's just a mistake, Think I'd forgive you like that, If you thought I would wait for you, You thought wrong

But you're just a boy, You don't understand, And you don't understand, oh How it feels to love a girl, Someday you wish you were a better man

You don't listen to her, You don't care how it hurts, Until you lose the one you wanted, Cause you're taking her for granted, And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy

Day Light Saving

Daylight Saving in New South Wales ended yesterday, Sunday 5 April 2009 at 3:00 am. Clocks has been put back one hour.

Dalam beringat2 dan mengingatkan org ;ain hari sabtu hari tuu...last2 saya sendiri terkena pagi semalam! hahahaa. Alarm clock bunyi macam biasa, so saya pun bangun nak semayang subuh. Tengok jam pukul kat komputer pukul 5.40am. Dalam hati cakap 'owwhhh day light saving ended early this morning'. So saya pun semayang subuh macam biasa.

Selesai semayang, habis je bagi salam, azan software tu berbunyi! Saya pandang luar..teengok macam nak cerah dah, dalam hati cakap 'apesal dah cerah baru nak azan, betul ke tak ni???'. Then saya kejut Rezan, 'sayang, i confused..kat luar dah terang, kenapa baru nak azan?? jam kat komputer automatically tukar dah kan??'

Rupa-rupanyerrrrrrr...azan software tu lum tukar lagik! ishhhhhhhhhhh..dia azan ikut waktu semayang time summer hahaha patut lerrrr.

Anyway, daylight saving will start again in New South Wales on Sunday 4 October 2009 at 2:00 am, when clocks will be put forward one hour..sekian..

April check-up

Adeiiiii..rasa macam malas nak tulis pasal check-up we went yesterday. Rasa macam terbayang-bayang lagi camana jarum penimbang berat tu mencecah ke angka 70! i was like 'haaaaahhhhhhhhh!!' . Doctor pun 'haaaaahhhh'! Dalam sebulan naik 4kg...ish ishh ishhhh..

Bulan lepas masa pegi check up kat RWH, doctor dah bising, sebab naik banyak sangat dalam sebulan. Semalam pulakk, pegi check-up kat UNSW..pun kena jugak! Rasanyerr saya takde laa makan banyak. Macam macam biasa jerr. Nak kata makan all the fatty food pun tak jugakk..

Lepas pegi check-up last March, saya memang monitor, every 2 days..saya timbang berat, sebab taknak naik banyak sangat. Memang well maintain. Dalam masa 3 minggu selepas March check up tuu berat saya memang naik tak sampai 2 kg pun. Cuma nyerr..seminggu sebelum check-up semalam, saya macam tak kisah nak monitor. Pulak tu saya makan chocolate flakes yang boss bagi, dia beli masa pegi perth mggu lepas. Makan macam tak hingat..sebungkus tu makan sorang2! ish ish ishh....lenkali taknak buat lagi dah!

Other than that, all well..BP cantekkkk 110/70, urine pun clear..takde apa2..baby heart beat 150 & kaki tak swell. Doctor happy with everything else...unless my weight! Dalam masa 6 bulan nii..saya gained 10kg dah!! hoohooooo. Ada 3 more months to go...camana nihhh?????

Yang saya pelik..10 kg yang saya gained tu pegi tang mana ehh?? Sebab lengan, muka, peha, kaki saya tak membesar pun. Infact, i still can fit my jeans (of coz wit my belly belt la kan..). Cuma nyerr perut ni jerr yang terboyot2. Takkan berat sangat baby dalam perut ni kot! Ishhhh jgn laaa dia terlebih besar..susah mummy nak keluarkan nantiiiiii...

Tapi kan..sejak 2-3 hari ni...perut ni memang terasa berat uuuu. Sebelum2 ni tak rasa. Jalan pun steady jerrr. 2-3 hari ni memang terasa, bila duduk, baring..rasa susah nak bangun. Bila jalan..rasa macam lambat! hehehhehe ini laa yang org cakap 'berat' masa pregnant tu yerrrr...

Patut ke Tak Patut??

Kat office skrg ni..i mean dah dekat setahun kebelakangan ni kot...asik2 cakap pasal 'kedatangan'. Masa morning briefing, asik2 cakap pasal datang lambat, datang cepat. Punched in lambat seminit dua pun nak bising...nak dengar pun malas. (nak cakap pun malu...kat Australia ni dah takde opis pakai sistem punch card, tapi kat opis nii aderrr lagii!!!)

Honestly, saya mmg takde masalah pasal kedatangan ni...kecuali kalau mmg betul2 terlambat lahhh. Dulu2 sebelum pregnant, mmg hari2 saya datang sebelum pukul 9. Tapi 2-3 bulan nii...ada laa 2-3 kali merah, sebab pagi kena pegi check up laa, ultrasound laa.. macam last month, 3 kali saya masuk kul 11.ooam, sebab ada 2 kali tuu pegi ultrasound and sekali tu pegi monthly check up. And saya memang informed my boss awal2 lagi. Anyway, rasanye my boss takde problem pasal nii..tapi ada laaa satu department tuu...asik2 kecoh2 pasal niii...and since kami di bawah satu bumbung dengan dia..so kena laaa dok dengar dia cakap pasal staff datang lambat ni.

So semalam..happended that..i was late. Heavy traffic jam kat Kensington. Ntah apa kena minggu ni, banyak sangat kereta kat Kensington tu. So, this morning saya keluar awal sikit and as expected, mmg jam! But then i managed to sampai before 9 lah!

Ok, balik cerita semalam, cerita yang TAK PATUT tuuu. Saya lambat semalam. Punched in at 9.06am. Saya takde rasa bersalah punnn..sebab jarang2 saya lambat, so kalau sesekali terlambat tuuu..benda kecik je kann. Then, there was another staff, dia pun lambat..she walked in to the office lambat than me. She was behind me! Then masa saya nak punch my card, saya teramik card dia. Suddenly saya tgk card dia dah kena punch!!! Someone else dah punch kan!!! TAK PATUT betul....ish ish ishhhhh... agaknyerr dah lama dia buat keje niii yerrr. Patut laa hari2 dia rilex jerr...datang ngam2 sampai kul 9. Agaknyerr...selalu tuu..kalau tak sempat sampai kul 9..ade laaa dia punya barachii yang tukang punch kan!

Agak-agaknye kan...lain kali kalau saya lambat, PATUT ke saya suruhkan sape2 kat opis tu tolong punch untuk saya??? Tak payah la ekkkk...sebab saya bukan selalu ada problem 'lambat datang keje' pungggg. For me..orang yang buat mcm nii ialah org yang bermasalah jerr...sebab dah selalu sangat lambat kannnn..

And yang paling TAK PATUT, their officers dah tahu staff diorang buat mcm tuu..tapi langsung tak bukak mulut! Asik laaaa menyindir yang sorang yang selalu lambat tuuu..ish ishh ishhhhhh. Mana yang paling TAK PATUT between datang lambat and punch in lambat (which for me, she honest to herself and others) OR datang lambat tapi suruh org lain punch kan their card (which for me is bullshit!!)??? Bukan ker..punch in kan org lain punya card tuu is a really big offend??

Sekadar melepas geram...mmg ade kena mengena dengan yang hidup, tapi takde kena mengena dengan yang dah mati! heheheheee

Mengapakah Aku

Manusia ini..Perjalanannya berbeza..
Laluannya ada yang mudah
Laluannya ada yang cepat..

Ada juga..
Yang laluannya susah
Yang panjang berliku-liku..

Tapi mengapakan begitu sukar untuk aku???

Pemberian ini ada hikmahnya
Mudah dan cepat bukan ertinya bahagia di hadapan sana
Panjang dan berliku bukan ertinya derita..

Syukur..
Aku satu di antara yang diuji
Yang sentiasa berusaha ke arah itu
Walau bukan secara nyata
Bukan secara zahir
Namun aku satu di antaranya..

Kurniakan lah aku kesabaran
Kurniakan lah aku keimanan
Semoga ada ganjaran besar menanti
Atau mungkinkah syahid menanti kami?

March Check up

I was trying to write semalam, since we had a montly check up kat public hospital. Kat sini boleh pilih, the monthly check up samada kita nak everytime kat public hospital, OR alternate dengan GP. Yang alternate dengan GP tuu..diorang panggil 'shared care'. We chose the 'shared care' program.

Last month, 4/2/09 buat dekat GP kat UNSW, for this month (semalam) we did it at Royal Hospital for Women, Ranwick. So basically check up sama je lahh..check urine, blood pressure, fetus, timbang berat and short diccusssion lahh dengan doctor kan. Anything yang kita worry about..just voice out.

As for me..i am just worrying pasal the mild swelling kat ankle ni. Bila tengahari, ada macam mild swelling, bangun tido pagi2..ok pulak. Tapi takde la serius sangat. That day tanya kat mak..biasanya org mengandung ni, start bengkak2 since bulan yang ke berapa. Mak cakap, biasanya towards the end. :( So saya mcm terfikir juga...kalau laa skrg dah start swelling..saya ada 4 bulan to go ni...alamatt jadi macam gajah la yerrr!! hahhaaaaa

Hmmm beza kalau buat kat GP and pubic hospital..Kalau kat GP, timbang, urine test, and check blood pressure, doctor yang buatkan. Tapi kat public hospital..kita kena buat sendiri. Kencing and check glucose & protein sendiri, timbang sendiri..cuma blood pressure je doctor buatkan. Baby heart beat pun..of coz laa doctor buatkannn.. hehehhee

So, my glucose and protein was good, both negative. Blood pressure pun cantik jerr... 110/68. Cuma tang berat jerr..doctor complain..hahahha, there is a big jump from last month!! Naik 3 kg oooooo!! Was 63kg on 4/2/09 and 65.9kg semalam! Other than that...all well!

My very first writing of my pregnancy..

Hati rasa bunga2 hari ni..not only hari ni..tapi mmg dari last monday. hehehee..rasanyaa..ini 1st entry yang i openly write about my pregnancy. Dah week 20th pun..saje jerr we kept this for sooo long, and rasanya time to bagitau kawan-kawan now. Rasa mcm sekejap betul time fly..

Kawan-kawan yang kat Sydney pun..tak semua tahu. Now perut dah takleh nak hide, so sape2 yang terserempak ngan saya...diorang tahu lahh! Even kat office, for the 1st 3 months, officemates tak tahu, sebab saya mmg takde tunjuk apa2 symptoms. Alhamdulillah kan! Baik baby nii..tak banyak kerenah, hopefully. Cuma dah hujung2 1st trisemester tuu ada sorang dua officemates yang tegur..sebab dia nampak my physical changes kot :D

So hari ni...pegi ultrasound kali yang ke-4. 2nd time for this week..hehehe..seronokk!! Last monday pegi ultrasound, tak banyak details yang dapat. Baby lum nak bangun tido agaknyerr. Memang pagi2 dia tak active pun selalunya. So last monday baby asik tunjuk muka jerr...pusing2 camera pun, dia dok tunjuk muka jugaaa, so sweet!! And sonographer bagitau 'the little lady will be in the house..!' hehehehhe. Lain2 details tak dapat.

Then sonographer mintak kami keluar for half an hour, get some juice and have a walk, suruh baby tu bangun ;) sambung semula lepas tuu..still the same. We decided to come back on Friday, then (hari ni). And hari ni..baby baikkkkkk sangat, bagi kerjasama hari ni :D. Appointment kul 11.30 am, i purposely mintak time2 cenggitu, sebab selalu around that time yang dia start gerak2. But then, appointment running very late, around pukul 1 baru dapat masuk.

She was about to have afternoon sleep kot masa tu. Nampak bigggg yawn from her!! hahahhaaa kalau laa mummy dapat pegang, alangkah bahagia nyerrr. Rezan pun nampak happy je tadi...bila kami cakap2 pasal this baby :D

This is the dialogue between me and the sonographer, bila dah siap ultrasound tadi:-


Sonographer: I'm sorry to call you again today..it's just the matter of getting the complete details.
Mummy: That's fine, my plessure...at least i can see her twice this week :D
Sonographer: Oww yeaa...she's a tricky girl ha!


And masa balik tadi..me and Rezan were talking pasal baby menguap tu. Rasa macam we were so lucky sebab dapat tengok benda2 macam tu. Then rezan cakap 'ehhhh wondering how there's no water masuk mulut baby masa dia yawn!' hahhhaaaaaaa...How great god creatures kan!

Picture of mummy on the week of 20th..

My Capcicum Plant

I cant remember when was that i sown those seeds. I think it was in February 2008. Yes..!! its was summer, last year. I love buying capcicum, and there's one day, i simply want to sow the seed. So i just throw them into one of the pot, but nothing came out.

It's summer again..In early December 2008, juvenile leaves coming out, growing bigger and bigger, and i have learnt that it is a chilli type of plant. Later by end of the month, they started flowering and the 'round shape' chillies came out! oowhhhh it is a capcicum!!!

note: The plant is still small, approximately 1 feet high.

My Daun Kesum (Vietnamese Mint Leaves)

Look at them! Spot the diference..haaahhaaa obviously you can tell. Last 2 weeks, I was feeling very sick when i look at my daun kesum. I was wondering why is that it still look dying during this summer time. The leaves look so unhealthy and they keep dying. I tested the soil..it was extremely dry..OMG!!

so what i did..i repoted the plant, trying to loosen the soil to let them get sufficient nutrient. I removed the plant from the pot, trim all the dying root and leaves, put it back in the pot, replace with the new soil, apply some fertilizer and water them immediately. And here you gooo!! Dont you feel happy for me??

And now..i start thinking, what should i cook with this.. ;)) Laksam?? Nasi Kerabu?? Asam pedas?? what else???

now...

before.. 2 weeks ago..

To continue again..

I think i better start write something here, from now on. I know..no one is reading, but it's for my own note. It was soooo long since i left this page. Summer macam ni..spider pun banyak agaknyerr, buat sawang. **hehehehhhee**

I am on leave today. I am having toothache, it aching since last friday night. This is the worst toothache i ever had in my life. Serius...it's really painfull. I tak tidur malam since that friday night and due to that, i went to see the doctor on sunday morning. So doctor pun really pitty to me..gave me 2 days mc start from monday. owhhh what a releif!

And this morning, (tuesday), me & rezan went to see someone, for the 2nd time. I was so touch. Dia were so busy playing there. Tak sedar, ada 2 person were watching! hehehehe Kami tgk dia dari jauh..insyallah..we will see in person sometime in July. We miss you, darling!

Later in the afternoon, we went to the dentist. I dont want to keep that wisdom teeth anymore. It will cost me more. I know! I did the filing 3 years back, and it's decayed and started broken litle by little, later the filing came out! oushhhhhh!! I decided to remove it, and finally it was done! yehaaa.
