hi aunty liza!

salam ramadhan

my 32 birthday celebration (not much to celebrate when you are 32!)

this was in Pavilion. i was too excited i got a gift that i forgot to take pics of the lovely couple who gave it to me!.... tq liza n gaza

the night before, had a small 'celebration' with hubby and hazeem at jusco eheheh why jusco, sebab lepas tu kena beli susu anak (hahahah!!!). hubby came back late, so i ate earlier cos i was fasting. had maggi n egg. so, by the time we went out, i was a bit kenyang. but i still got space in my tummy for some ice cream!

HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAY TOOO MEEEE!!!!!

the red flag is finally up!

what red flag??? eheheheh



i have had my period since after i gave birth... yes, it has been 7 months!!! i was told it was normal if u are breastfeeding :D

but this morning, i finally got it! finally....

been busy....

been busy with my boys... si harith ni baru demam, selsema and batuk (sounds scary...??) yerp, so i went to ampang putri hospital yesterday, to do some checks and also give harith his overdue jab (ala.. injection biasa tu yg utk baby 6 bulan, harith is already 7mths eheheh)

where did he get his sakit...? from this fella, his brother aiseh...

alhamdulillah, hazeem has recovered after 2 weeks off schooling! then, adik pulak demam.

back to hospital story, after meeting the peds, he asked me to take harith for h1n1 screening, alamak aiii... risau lak, den. i never stop praying... please jangan la ... ya Allah, jauhkan la penyakit2 mengarut ni... nauzubillah...

how they do it? the doctor (or was it a lab asst??) swap inside harith's nose with a cotton bud sort of tool. then, it was sent to the lab. simple. after an hour, it will be sent to the peds. so i have to wait for another hour. if it is confirmed, the peds will immediately give the tammy flu.

after an agonising one hour wait, the result was out. NEGATIVE! Alhamdulillah....!!! i felt like crying... never understood that feeling when you are waiting for a result and hope for the best when there is also a chance for it to become worse.....

i paid rm50 for the test (hmm...) but it was worth it to rest assure that everything was just normal flu....

so, frens with kids, be careful ya...

al-fatihah...

to allahyarham ustaz asri... may u rest in peace, amin...

Setiap insan pasti merasa
Saat perpisahan terakhir
Dunia yang fana akan ditinggalkan
Hanya amalan yang dibawa
Terdengar sayup surah dibaca
Sayunya alunan suara
Cemas di dada...lemah tak bermaya
Terbuka hijab di depan mata
Selamat tinggal pada semua
Berpisahlah kita selamanya
Kita tak sama nasib di sana
Baikkah atau sebaliknya
Amalan dan takwa jadi bekalan
Sejahtera bahagia pulang...ke sana
Sekujur badan berselimut putih
Rebah bersemadi sendiri
Mengharap kasih anak dan isteri
Apa mungkin pahala dikirim
Terbaring sempit seluas pusara
Soal-bicara terus bermula
Sesal dan insaf tak berguna lagi
Hancurlah jasad dimamah bumi
Berpisah sudah segalanya
Yang tinggal hanyalah kenangan
Diiring doa dan air mata
Yang pergi takkan kembali lagi

demam, batuk and selsema

sana sini org demam, batuk and selsema, esp kids...

anak kengkawan, anak sedara mara... even my son, hazeem.

but nasib baik, hazeem is getting better after almost 2 weeks of me banning him from going to school - bukan apa, tak nak la dia bagi demam kat org lain or dia lak dpt penyakit lain lak nauzubillah...

anyway, he is getting better, alhamdulillah...

hantu kl-putrajaya highway

i was 'assigned' to send my mom to KLIA this morning at 530am. so i dragged my husband as the driver... it was 530am, obviously i was still in my sleeping mode :D

we woke up abit late, so we left the house around 545am. hubby stepped on the pedal and from our house in ampang hilir we took the kl-putrajaya (MEX) highway... fast easy and convenient!

it was a quiet ride initially as everybody still mengantuks... and hubby was concentrating on speeding sebab takut kena marah eheheh... (mak mertua garang sikit je :-))

as we drove past the swamp area, i saw something white trying to cross the highway. who in their crazy mind wanted to cross the highway in telekong! yes, you heard me, the white telekong! tiba2 je berderau darah, den! i whispered to my husband, 'bang, apa tuh???' i saw him flashing the lights as that time we were driving around 140km/hr (:-p) - the 'telekong' was in the middle of the road. and as the telekong saw the highlighted car lights, it went back and tried to go to the other side of the road. we went passed it but we didnt see the face.it was black.

questions are:-

1. what the hell was that??? was it a ghost or just a seriously stooooopid man trying to play stooopid pranks during his subuh time!!??

2. if it was a man, he may be has an accomplice - but when we quickly looked around, we saw nobody else... so he was brave enuf to pull the pranks on his own! alone!

3. maybe... just maybe, it was an old lady (nenek kebayan kot) balik from her subuh prayer - mana lak ada surau along that highway, aku nampak hutan paya je... and if itu nenek, dia takleh panjat the middle divider on the highway! too high... ini divider concrete yg about waist high!

4. was it a ghost?? well... dia ada gaya2 macamnak terbang at one point until it saw the light. tapi if it WAS a ghost, why didnt it just flew away, instead of crossing to the other side???

whatever that was, it sure gave me the creep... even my hubby yg berani tu pun naik bulu roma. and after i told this to my sister, she said she was told many times before that the highway sort of ber-hantu...

nasib baik la i appointed hubby to drive - if i was driving ... perghhh....!!

so, if any of you are taking the highway, watch out - for the telekong may be lurking around (ish... cuak pulak!!)

influenza a (h1n1)

i think the situation is quite worrying... and the constant reminders in the local radio networks also indicates worrying situation. so, it is very important for us to know in detail, what is influenza a and its impact if we dont corporate....

Apakah Virus Influenza A (H1N1)?

Virus Influenza A (H1N1) adalah sejenis penyakit respiratory yang ditemui dalam kawanan babi disebabkan oleh virus influenza jenis A (H1N1). Selesema babi ini dikesan saban tahun dan biasanya terjadinya kepada mereka yang mempunyai kaitan dengan babi. Manusia biasanya tidak dijangkiti oleh virus ini tetapi jangkitan terhadap manusia telah dikesan. Virus selesema babi telah dilaporkan merebak dari manusia ke manusia lain. Tetapi pada masa lepas, pemindahan virus ini adalah terhad dan menjangkiti sehingga tiga orang sahaja.

Apakah Tanda-tanda dan Simptom Virus Influenza A (H1N1) Terhadap Manusia?

Simptom Virus Influenza A (H1N1) ini terhadap manusia adalah sama dengan simptom selesema biasa seperti demam, batuk, sakit tekak, sakit badan, pening kepala, sejuk dan kelesuan. Ada juga sesetengah kes cirit-birit dan muntah yang berkait dengan selesema burung yang dilaporkan.

Pada masa yang lepas, beberapa penyakit (kegagalan paru-paru dan sistem pernafasan) dan kematian telah dilaporkan dengan jangkitan selesema babi dalam manusia. Seperti virus selesema bermusim, selesema babi boleh menyebabkan keadaan kesihatan kronik.

Apa Yang Perlu Dilakukan Untuk Mengelak Daripada Dijangkiti Selesema?

Perkara yang terpenting sekali adalah membasuh tangan. Cuba untuk berada pada tahap yang paling sihat. Dapatkan tidur yang cukup. Sentiasa aktif, menangani tekanan, minum banyak air dan makan makanan berkhasiat. Cuba mengelak dari menyentuh tempat yang dicemari dengan virus. Mengelak hubungan dengan mereka yang sakit.

Jika anda sakit anda perlu:-

• Tinggal di rumah dan mengelak hubungan dengan orang lain sebaik mungkin untuk mengelak jangkitan;
• Mendapatkan rawatan kecemasan jika mengalami tanda-tanda awal penyakit;

Untuk kanak-kanak tanda-tanda dan perlu dibawa untuk dirawat adalah seperti berikut:-

• Kesukaran bernafas dan pernafasan yang terlalu cepat;
• Warna kulit bertukar kebiru-biruan;
• Tidak minum air yang secukupnya;
• Tidak bangun dan berinteraksi;
• Tidak suka dipegang dan asyik merengek;
• Simptom seperti selesema dan pulih tetapi kemudiannya berulang bersama demam dan batuk yang lebih teruk;
• Demam dan beruam.

... as extracted from PMR

let us all corporate and watch out for symptoms in our love ones... and prayer is the best thing we have...

Maid or Me?

hmm... to maid or not to maid?

what can we afford? define 'afford'....

can we afford the $$$?
or can we afford the problems that may arise when u have a maid?
or can we afford the time NOT TO HAVE maid?

recently, there were many issues raised with regards to having maids...

there are few relevant and of course, to my opinion, mostly are CRAP!

the nation was shocked by abusive behaviour 'certain employer' portrays, BUT not all cases are like that. and obviously, we also heard how we, the ever-so-nice-employers being cheated, manipulated by them. mana cerita2 ni?? sapa lak nak bela kita2 ni???

ok, back to my topic --- maid or me?

this is different issue actually ehehhe

how do u choose to raise ur children? by yourself or partially you and partially your maid?
nowadays, especially for working moms, it is not so easy not to have maid. if takde maid pun, children are send top nursery. no choice, right? if tak kerja mana cukup duit.

it is a dilemma...

i believe, most of mothers wanna raise their children on their own. my experience with my first son... most of his time since baby was with maid (cos i always worked until night). he grew soooo attached with the maid - it annoyed me!!
but what choice do i have? basically, most of my free time were either at nights and weekends and of course, i need time for myself as well. i felt bad everytime i scolded my son and i felt sad everytime he asked for bibik instead of me. but again, what choice do i have??

so, i started 'bribing' my son with toys and chocs and anything that he wanted, basically. it was not a healthy practise... but again, what choice do i have???

actually i have a choice... but it will make my life more difficult at first. i let go of my work. i chose to work on my own, which means my time is flexible - but my income is also flexible.... frankly, it is still kais pagi makan pagi for us. but i found better connection with both my sons.

i breastfeed my second son and amended my relationship with my first born. i send him to school everyday, i teach him whatever i could err... i dont cook cos ... (ini cerita lain ok...)

financial wise, we are still struggling. i had tough lessons of my own... and of course, i am more sensitive when it comes to $$ issues. but, i am working my way thru and my only hope is for my second half to understand unconditionally when others stand and judge. that is my ONLY hope....

so... i still need maid but i will make sure i raise my children. so the maid just pick up the mess along the way....

mrs kown - i found this :-p

Shila, i want the chocolate !!!!
