April Already?

2010-04-24T00:03:00.000+08:00

As usual i dont have the time to update my blog. Had Alaani's birthday party onthe 3rd, stf9094 reunion on the 10th, left behind by hubby on the 3rd weekend and now it's already the last weekend for the month. How time flies. Next i know kiddos are all grown up and dont want me huhu...

As for work, the pile's getting higher and higher. Reminders after reminders, calls after calls and bla bla bla. But still i am not there yet... Hmmmm... Sigh...

Frankly i am a bit disheartened with what happened in my life now (nothing to do with my family though). But allow me to sink in my sorrows and dwell with my feelings and after that i will try to accept it... Belajar untuk redha dan percaya things happen for a reason...

Time Flies

2010-04-02T10:13:00.008+08:00

Time flies really fast, it’s April now and my last post was in January…. So what have I been doing… where should I start? Arrghhh this is surely going to be a very long post… or a short one cos i easily forget now.

December

Holiday month in Astro, a quiet one always… This month… haiyo cant remember what we did and where we went la except that we (the legal dept) celebrated chrismast by exchanging gift and went out for christmast dinner my SIL engagement. I was in charged to do her make up, isk isk percaya minah ni bagi aku make-up dia. But all is well i did not spoilt her day or anything like that. Ok la kan hehheheh… so this is the result…

i personally sponsored her cupcakes for hantaran... Nicely done...

And oohhh it was also Alaani’s aqiqah, and we had ‘kambing golek’… it’s big and it was damn good (except for the sauce la) but that’s OK…

Alaani bersama kambingnye yang dah tinggal tulang...

What else happened in December? Sowweey cant remember…

January

Hmmm…. Happy new year everyone hahhaha (I know it’s late but I dont care heheheh)… again nothing much happened except that work started to pile up and my leisure time in the office has been limited huhuhu…

February

It’s a Birthday Month for Hubby and Haikal… Hubby is a Federal Territory’s baby, so for Hubby’s birthday, we went to Legend Water Homes PD. It was a good one, simple but nice celebration. Haikal and myself made a selfmade card for Hubby and Alaani just finger printed it….

My SIL also got married this month. And she had to do it on Haikal’s birthday… Hmmm tak paham but it was a sweet thought though… Btw my younger sil’s birthday share the same birthday as Haikal… So it was a triple celebration.

Oohhh btw I went for IP training in Singapore for 3 days… I haven’t been away from the kids since last year and I missed them bad. Kesian Alaani, she had fever and according to my maid she was very quiet and not very chatty as she used to be. Hubby came on the last night of the conference and after the conference ended apa lagi berjalan-jalan la di Orchard Road.

this is us berpoya-poya di Sinagpore

And oohhh lagi satu, the naughty Haikal fell from a swing.... Sian dia....

This is right after the fall

This is 6 hours after

March

Work work work

It was a very busy month for me huhuhuhuhu

April

Ehhh today baru 2 April…. To be updated lated… Btw esok birthday Alaani… woohooo

Cuti-Cuti Malaysia Edisi Penang

2009-12-30T13:03:00.006+08:00

Lepas beraya sakan kat kampung Hubby, cadangnya nak la bermalam kat Penang sambil menghantar adik iparku balik. Nasib baik last minute, bos bagi cuti hehheheh kalau tak burn la duit hotel yang dah pre-paid tuh... Sebenarnya nak elak jam hari Ahad tu... And nasib baik la we made the right decision, member aku sangkut kat jam from Penang to KL 10 jam tuh... Masak duduk dalam kereta....

Haikal nak naik feri, so ikut je la cakap dia (purpose of the cuti-cuti pun memang nak bawak budak2 jalan kan)... So feri kami tu namanye Pulau Payar. Semua feri dinamakan sempena nama pulau-pulau yang ada kat Malaysia nih. So ni lah aksi2 atas feri...

Alaani seronok kena angin kuat

Haikal and aksi2 nye yang tak berapa nak kelakar tuh hahahhaha....

So turun dari feri tu, kite orang pun pergila menghala ke Batu Feringhi untuk check in... Plan nak duduk kat Hard Rock tapi dah fully booked. So after a lot of calling and checking, we decided to stay at Holiday Inn... Boleh tahan gak la mahalnye hotel tuh. Sampai2 kat sana, mcm terkejut cos ingat hotel tepi laut, rupanya Holiday Inn ni ada 2, resort tepi laut and Holiday Inn saja across the road, tapi ada their own private overbridge to go to the beach la... So taderla sakit hati sangat... To make matter worse, bilik pun tak siap lagi.... So since dah pukul 3 lebih and kite orang pun dah lapar and malas nak tunggu, we told the receptionist to just keep the key until we come back in the evening.

Then off we go to the Penang town again. Otw to town tu lalu this Tadika yang ada Ultraman yang sungguh besar. Haikal nak stop amik gambar tapi sekolah tu tutup so takleh masuk and amik gambar.

Pegi makan kat Hamaediyah yang terkenal dengan kesedapan nasi kandarnya. Memang sedapla kari2 dia. Kite orang amik lauk ayam goreng and paru goreng. Haikal pun makan dengan sangat banyaknye. Cuma Alaani je la... Minah ni kalau jalan memang kurang makan... isk isk...

Haikal kekenyangan makan di Hamaediyah

Jalan-jalan di kotaraya Penang.

Dah penat jalan-jalan and beli jeruk kat pasar apa ntah namanye tuh, kite orang pun hantar Huda balik rumah. Then off to Batu Feringhi balik. Lalu lagi skolah dengan Ultraman besar hahahhah.... Sampai hotel, amik kunci, solat and off to the beach....

Aktiviti Mandi Laut dan bermain pasir and after that swimming pool....

Macam yang korang semua tahu, Penang ni terkenal dengan Night Market yang sungguh panjang. Night Market ni located kat sepanjang jalan area batu Feringhi. So from my hotel boleh nampak deretan Night Market ni la... Tapi mostly semua jual barang yang sama je i.e. handbags, belts, wallets, CD, DVD and other household items la....

Since Night market tu panjang sangat, kami naik beca sampai tempat start Night Market tuh and berjalan balik ke hotel. Jauh giler tuh... Dahla Alaani taknak jalan, so kena dukung je... Kalau bawak stroller lagi susah nak jalan2.... Ingat in tengah2 jalan tu nak berenti makan malam tapi tader la kedai yang menarik nak makan. Kedai jual makanan Arab and Western food adala, tapi dah sampai Penang takkan nak makan makanan macam tu kan.... Last2 sampai hotel kedai makan pun takder, so amik kreta and pegi makan kat Gurney Drive. Makan pasembor, kuey tiow goreng, sotong bakar and laicheekang.... tader la sedap sangat hehehehhe kat KL lagi sedap kot....

Again, Haikal yang kelaparan cos makan dah lambat sangat sebab berjalan di night market. Alaani dah lama tidur. Kesian Alaani tidur tak makan pun... Dah la masa mandi laut and swimming pool tu pun aku lupa bawak biskut or any food for them to eat... Isk isk teruknye....

So esoknye bangun awal, pegi breakfast sambil tunggu Huda datang. Then activity beach bermula semula. Tapi Alaani takut sket cos ombak kuat pagi tuh compared to petang semalam. So dia main kat tepi2 jek ngan Huda.

Hubby lak sibuk amik gambar tapi tanak pun teman Haikal mandi laut. Pastu naik kuda and Haikal dah sibuk nak mandi pool. Huda pi teman Haikal mandi pool and aku lak pi tunggu Hubby nak paragliding.

Tengah Bersiap2 dan dengar instructions

Tu Hubby la tuh....

Baiknye gambar tgh landing hehehhehe.... All taken via iphone hehhehe

Haikal dah tak ingat dunia mandi pool dengan Mak Lang yang desang bersantai kat belakang tuh... Huda dah la nak balik ke Baling untuk Nae nye engagement.... Mas ni pun dah dekat pukul 12pm and check out time is also 12pm.... Macam lipas kudung masa tuh... kali ni aku ingat and bawak biskut utk the kids. Makan tak hengat nye ehhehehe

Alaani kepenatan... Kesian dia heheheh

Haikal lak kelaparan....

Hubby berposing from our hotel room....

Lepas check out kami pi makan kat Kapitan lak.... Hmmm rasa kalau nasi kandar Hamaediyah lagi sedap tapi nasi beriyani kepitan memang sedap la....

Lepas makan kami ingat nak singgah Sungai Dua nak tapau mee udang tapi Hubby lak terlepas jalan.... So terpaksala balik je terus.... Sekian tamat la cuti-cuti Malaysia edisi Pulau Pinang.

Raya Qurban versi 2009

2009-12-15T12:49:00.010+08:00

Sebelum aku jadi malas nak update and kebetulan aku tak kuar lunch ari ni, so aku pun mengambillah kesempatan untuk update blog aku selepas incident 'Abang Rosyam' hahhahahah....

So this year tak balik JB cos beraya kat Sungai Buluh and petang raya plan nak balik ke Baling, Kedah sebab ada kenduri kawin Angah the next day... So, ni lah gambar kami di pagi raya yang tader buat apa pun....

The Fam

As usual mesti ada gambar menangis... Kali ni pasal nak minum susu kat rumah Zairin. Sabar je la... Actually dia penat malam tidur lambat and pagi bangun awal and tak tidur since. So this is his him being cranky la ni....

Kat rumah Zairin, dia buat open house... Since tader buat apa-apa, kami pun singgah la kejap.

So petang, dalam pukul 6pm macam tu baru la bertolak balik Baling. Haikal tidur terus cos kepenatan and Alaani tak berenti bercakap sampaila ke Sungai Perak. Ohhh btw Huda and Kak Teh ikut kite orang. Mama naik kereta Hatim dengan Nadiah and Husna. Sampai rumah Mak Teh dalam pukul 1030pm and the eating and food frenzy began. Mak Teh ni memang terkenal dengan masakannya dan suka bagi orang makan. Dia akan masak non-stop dan paksa orang makan huhuhu.... Tapi yang penting memang sedap.... So sampai2 dah suruh makan, tapi rezeki jangan ditolak hahhahahha... Hubby lak terus hilang pegi rumah Angah (pengantin tu and makan kat sana). Walaupun kenduri bukan kat rumah Mak Teh, tapi rumah ni la tempat memasak etc etc....

The next morning, bangun pagi2 depa dah sibuk masak tak berenti. Today ada 2 ekor lembu nak kena korban. Seriau seh aku tengok orang tu sembelih lembu. Pastu Haikal lak bangun, dia tengok relak je macam tader benda... So this is the pic la...

Muka tader perasaan

Alaani suka je
memain jek, orang tengah sibuk melapah kat belakang tuh...

Buat apa tu?

Percubaan Hubby untuk memotong
MIL, Haikal, Alaani and Kak Teh

Haikal hard at work... Hhahahaha tolong kacau nasi minyak je pun....

So lepas tolong apa yang patut tuh, petang tu kami pegi la kenduri Angah tu... Tader gambar yang menarik lak nak diposkan di sini. Sekejap jek cos Haikal dah tertidur kat rumah kenduri tu. Anyway kat Baling ni bagi orang2 yang tatau dia ada seksyen perempuan dan lelaki and tempat makan biasanya tak bercampur walaupun datang husband and wife. Tapi tader gambar lak nak prove taper la just take my word for it k....

So petang tu lepas tader benda nak buat kite orang gi la jalan ke pekan Baling. Tader apa pun cuma pekan cowboy. Then balik tu pegi rumah hazrul, lepak jap and dalam pukul 9 lebih tu balik. Tapi penat nye, tuhan je la tau. Masalahnya kat area Baling ni kan, siang dia tersangat la panas dan humid tapi biler malam sejuk tak ingat and especially air dia... Mmg tak sanggupla nak mandi malam.... Kesian Alaani, petang tadi masa mandikan dia ingat cuaca panas air pun suam2 la sekali sejuk sampai menangis dia terkejut hhahahaha... jahatnye mama dia...

Tapi dalam pada penat2 tu pun si kecik 2 ekor tu tak reti2 nak tido.... Lari sana lari sini.... Tapi happy la sebab mcm semua orang suka Haikal and especially Alaani. Cos Alaani tu macam tak kisah dengan orang jadi mcm semua orang suka main ngan dia. So mcm senang la keje aku hahhahaha... boleh jek tinggal Alaani ngan saper2 hahahhaah....

So ari ketiga tu kite orang plan nak hantar Huda balik Penang and tido semalam la kat sana. Kalau balik ari ni mesti jam gile nye... and we did the right decision cos bile baca status update FB mmg teruk jam hhehehhehe... Tapi citer Penang lain post k, dah malas and nak kena start buat keje balik... So sebelum bertolak ni la pic yg kite orang amik.

All in all memang seronok except the part Hubby asik hilang (ye la kampung dia kan), penat dan panas. Alaani pulak susah nak bagi makan. Before balik tu as usual MaK Teh bekalkan kite orang dengan makanan yang sungguh banyak hehehhe katanya untuk Alaani and Haikal... Ke nak membesarkan mama dia orang yang dah mcam dipam2 ni.... huhuhuh sedih jek semua orang cakap aku nampak lain..... Cakap je la aku dah gumurksss huahuahua

Rosyam Noor

2009-12-03T18:08:00.007+08:00

Malu tau.... Tadi Rosyam Noor datang ofis nak sign contract. So, lepas kenalkan diri masing2, we talked about the contract and general stuff. So lepas sign and all, we went out from the meeting room la, and then suddenly my colleague cakap dengan begitu kuat sekali "ehh Nomy, tadi kata nak amik gambar ngan Rosyam... Nasib Boy ingat" and i did not say that to him... Malu giler.... Then Rosyam patah balik to my desk and posing cakap "Jom la..." malu giler babi... Apa lagi aku start blushing merah giler and my other collegues siap amik my phone and nak amik gambar kite orang. Rosyam legi best siap posing lagi tunggu aku....

Seriously aku tak cakap pun kat my collegue tu yang aku nak amik gambar... Dalam hati of course la but I did not say it out loud huhuh.... Anyway lepas abis blusihng, this is the pic la.... hehheheheh suka suka....

Tengok la muka ku yang tersengih2 akibat blushing yang amat sangat.... Rasa mcm dah lama giler aku tak blushing macam ni tau huhuhu

Masalahnya yang lagi memalukan sebab masa tgh amik gambar ni dia cakap kat aku dengan nada yang sangat slow dan romatik 'kenapa taknak amik gambar ngan i? takut husband marah ker?" Pastu my colleague tu pulak sambung "Syam amik mood Syam, masuk mood romantic" and dia cakap "Tangah masuk mood la ni... Korang ni kacau la... " Hampeh kan.... (dalam nada senyum) hehehhehe

Ben 10 @ ECurve

2009-11-25T12:03:00.000+08:00

Got 4 tickets for the Ben 10 Alien Swarm given by my colleagues and also because i was the one who reviewed the agreement for one of the voice over talent hehehhehe... Guess who? of course Ben 10 itself.

Haikal was of course so excited and Alaani although she dint know anything except thta we were going to see/watch kept on saying 'Tetem' which actually means 'Ben 10' whenever she saw Ben 10.

Before we went to The Curve, we stopped at Maxis Centre @ Ampang Point to collect my long awaited iphone 3gs, but this I will elaborate on a separate post heheheh... Then off to Curve. When we arrived they have started with the programme and activities. Upon registration, we got our seats numbers and Ben 10 goodies consist of posters and postcards as well as popcorn and drinks coupon. The only thing is our tickets were meant for the BM version of the movie huhuhu.... We wanted to change it to the English version but the available seats were the front rows tickets so we had to pass it. What to do... Hmmmm...

Haikal and Alaani took part for the simple activities and games and got Cartoon Network stickers in return. Then Hafiz, the voice over talent for Ben 10 came for the meet and greet sessions. After sometime Ben 10 the character came with Gwen. Dint get to take pictures with Ben 10 and Gwen the character but got to take pic with Hafiz though

Haikal with Ben 10

Hubby and Kiddos

Ben 10 and Gwen

Me, Kiddos and Hafiz

Kiddos and friend's kiddos. The kid were supposed to come in any character from Ben 10 but since Haikal's Ben 10's shirt is stained, so too bad la hehehheeh....

Im the theatre....

Genting @ 8 Nov 09

2009-11-23T18:03:00.002+08:00

Tengah sakit kepala ni baik buat benda yang tak payah berpikir and blogging ni salah satu daripadanya la hehhehe... Tader la mmg dah lama nak update tapi tader masa...

Dalam 2 minggu lepas, 8 Nove 2009 to be exact, setelah lama memujuk and after much provocation of guilt kat hubby (cos dia pegi jakarta main golf and tinggalkan kite org kat KL nih)we all went to Genting Highlands Kota Keriangan. Saje je nak bawak budak2 jalan kat tempat sejuk dan yang penting boleh have fun sekeluarga. Saje je pegi hari Ahad so that rides banyak bukak and orang pun takler ramai sangat cos nak balik dah keje keesokan harinye....

So, ini la cerita kami...

This is while waiting for hubby and me to decide on whether to take the all day unlimited ride for All Park or just the Outdoor park hehhehe.... Believe me, it's that long.... hahhaha and thanx to Juco Card, we finally chose the All park unlimted ride and enjoy 20% discount.

Cheeky Haikal & Alaani

Our first ride - Mom & Daughter

Father & Son

Haikal's First Bumper Car. So funny cos he dint move at all initially sampai budak yang jaga tu datang and ajar dia how to operate the car then baru OK.

Me & Kiddos near the lake. Wanted to go for the boat ride tapi tak jadi cos boleh naik berdua jek and kena paddle, penat huhuh and agak berbahaya utk Alaani.

Alamak salah pilih gambar la Hubby tutup mata taper la... rasanya ni while waiting for pirate train. Ni antara ride yang paling dot dot dot la aku rasa....

Ni pun kat pirate train rasanya... mintak tlg this young and sweet couple yang suka kacau Alaani. haaa kacau lagi dah kena amik gambar kite orang...

This is what he wanted the most, pegi Dinasour Land and boleh korek tanah untuk cari tulang dinasour. he's been bugging us to go anywhere for this, nasib baik ada. So while dia mengorek tanah, Hubby pegi beratur naik solero shot and Alaani makan tak brenti.

Ni dekat Dinousor land jugak

Ni la keje Alaani cuma tader food jek kat tangan

Hubby while waiting for the thing to move. Muka cuak giler

this is me.... Hubby kata muka tader perasaan langsung.... weih cuak la giler la.... punggung tak cecah kerusi tau masa dia jatuh tu... jantung pun mcm nak terkeluar... tapi besh besh...

This is Alaani looking up at me...

Buat2 tidur dalam ferris wheel

Apa yang si kecik ni cuba lakukan?

I loikkke this pic...

Family Pic before malam menjelma

Dah nak malam, tgh jalan nak pegi Indoor Park dekat First World Hotel. Sejuk giler dah time ni...Haikal pun dah penat... Alaani tak penat cos Mama ngan Ayah yang penat dukung...

Me and Hubby

Last ride for the nite... Muka dah penat giler except for Alaani.

Last pic taken at our hotel, Hotel Theme Park malam tuh

Day 2 - Breakfast at Hotel Resort

That is Alaani's version of peace... sometimes 3 fingers and sometimes all fingers pun ada... hehhe funny...

This was the last pic taken cos after that battery kong... All in all, aku rasa we had a good and fun time together. As usual Haikal selalu kena marah pasal naughty and tak dengar cakap tapi besides that aku suka sangat... cos aku tau the kids pun happy....

Yeaaa... Haaaa....

2009-11-16T17:05:00.000+08:00

Yeaaa... dah berjaya jumpa balik all the toolbars.... so gurlzzz wait for my update ya.... hehheheh suka suka suka....

Why? Why? Why?
Mana? mana? mana?

Any idea?
Tolong la saya huhuhuhu....

October Updates

2009-11-02T17:11:00.000+08:00

I have been neglecting my blog for quite sometime now…. Too many stories to write but yet my mind’s not into writing now. Maybe because my phone was stolen and I don’t have any pics to upload and thus to tell stories… Hmmm probably… Too much work? Hmmm a possibility or just too lazy to update…. Hhehehheh most likely the last one….

So first thing first, an update/highlights of what have been going on so far….

1. Iphone Story

They finally attended to me. Got RM750 rebate for outright purchase of iphone 3gs… better than nothing huh? So, made the booking and still waiting for my phone to arrive. Huh such a long wait, and the guy who attended to me, did not even bother to reply to my email. Initially he said he will try his very best to get the phone for me asap so that I don’t have to wait, the waiting time will be between 30-45 days…. Hmmm should I write another complaint leter?

2. 7 Oct 09- My Birthday Story

I am 32 this year… married with 2 kids… that’s what my mom said when she called to wish me well…
Apart from that, received birthday wishes all around…. Thanx guys for those sweet and kind wishes… From colleagues as well…. Bought me a cake and all…. Tried to make it as a surprise though they called me a spoil sport hehehe…. Saje jek…. Keh keh keh.. My colleagues took me out for lunch not on my bday but on Friday to one of the Italian restaurant in cyberjaya, not so bad though…..

As for my dear hubby, he took me out to dinner that nite although he wasn’t feeling too good… Bought cupcakes (no flowers bouquet or basket this year, it would be so obvious since he sent 2 last year for anniversary and birthday hehhehe). Had dinner at Tony Romas and he told me that he will pay for the Iphone… woohoooo…. Hehhehe thanx dear…

After that, went home and celebrate with the kids… Haikal wanted to buy me flowers, not the whole bouquet cos he doesn’t have enough money to pay for it (isn’t that sweet….) Alaani, of couse she’s oblivious to the fact that it was my birthday, she just wanted the cupcake…. So typical of her….. hehhehehhe

3. 14 Oct 09 - Dinner with the Gurlz from SKST JB @ Delicious

I left Sekolah Kebangsaan Seri tebrau Johor Bahru in 1989 and I have not met the girls since…. Thanx to facebook, after approx 20 years, we hooked up again… Melati, Jaja and Sue (more fondly known as Suhaila in the yesteryears), it was really good to have met you guys again….

Initially, I was quite afraid that we won’t have anything to talk about. After 20 years and no contact at all but somehow we talked and talked and did a lot of catching up…. And apparently I just knew this from Jaja heheheh, that she said I was quite a bully back in school… hahhahah I have no recollection of being a bully. And apparently Jaja said she was always my accomplice hehheheheh…. Opppss sorry Jaja.

As for Melati, she said I must be approachable cos we are friends, hmmm…. She said she is so low profile back in primary school and the fact that I was close to her meant that I am never the ‘berlagak’ type and that I must be very friendly to her….

Sue, she wasn’t from SKST but she was my classmate from my Sekolah Agama Taman Sri Tebrau. She was always the centre of attraction especially to this boy name Haniff from my school. Haniff befriended me just to get to Sue and apparently they thought that I was with Haniff…. No way, he’s cute and all but he was so into you Sue hikhik…

4. 28 Oct 09 - Cuci the Musical

It was so good… I had a good time watching it…. Not a single moment that I regretted watching it. And despite Hans being so handsome, Afdlin being funny and cute, Ac as he is (never like him much though, think he likes to shout when he talks even with his mic on), I still think that Awie is the show stealer… hehheheh I know someone who would oppose this… I don’t care, and I really am into his voice and him for that matter mwahahhahaha…..

5. 30 Oct 09 - Dinner with the Gurlz from MSMKL @ Tony Romas

Another reunion, this time with the gurls from MSMKL…. Jash, Suyah, Iderk, Ndut. Lia and Ayin. Merci and Rin cant make it, so sad… Regardless, we all had a good time reminiscing old memories. Cant put up any pics since don’t have my iphone yet :P please refer to Ndut’s blog http://nazie-nd.blogspot.com for pics.

So, this reunion was arranged in honour of Lia who requested to meet up with the ‘gang’ from A level but refused to initiate the email to suggest for the reunion. So, since I am so kind hearted and the fact that I do have all the numbers (though not the emails), so I started the initiative. It wasn’t that easy as everyone has their own agenda and finally we fixed it on 30 Oct 09 at Tony Romas the Gardens at around 645pm. It was good seeing them after all this time. We all looked different now (literally) hahhaha for some of us la…. And most of us have kids now (cant believe that either).

Anyway, it was good dinner though Lia came very late (arrghhh don’t wanna talk about that). She almost abandon us but Jash gave her a good round of scolding which we think she deserved since she was the one who kept on insisting on this reunion. She bought cake for us who celebrated birthdays in October i.e myself, ayin, merci and ndut hehhehe and Suyah bought us gift, thanx Suyah and on top of that she bought clogs for Alaani, so sweet the clogs I mean hehheh…

Hmmm… what else to say…. I think that’s it for the month of October… See you all kiddos whenever I’m free and feel like writing… Adios….

Complaint Letter to Maxis

2009-09-30T12:21:00.002+08:00

Dear Sirs,

I consider myself a loyal Maxis customer as I have been using the line, in fact the same number for about 10 years now. Started with a prepaid account and now switched to post-paid account together with a supplementary line.

4 months ago, I purchased an iphone during one of Maxis iphone roadshows at my office and as I don’t have the intention to switch to other telcos, I don’t mind being tied to a 2 year contract as I have been generally satisfied with the services that you have provided thus far.

However, on the 1st day of Eid my iphone was stolen. I called the customer service and they were very sympathetic and cooperative. They even advised me to suspend the numbers although they cannot accommodate my request to check for location of the last call made. The officer also informed me that I can purchase a 2nd iphone at any of the Maxis Customer Service Centre. However, I did not ask about the price for the purchase of the 2nd iphone.

The same night I went to KLCC Maxis Centre to get the SIM card replacement and to my disappointment I was told that I cannot purchase an iphone without the accompanying plan. I informed him that my iphone was stolen and I still have about 20 months to go. I still want to continue with my plan, and most importantly I still want to use an iphone. Again, to my dismay and disappointment the officer told me it is not possible to purchase an iphone without a plan. I was so disappointed and frustrated with his solution and advice to a loyal customer such as me especially when I know that I can purchase a 2nd iphone (via telephone conversation with the customer service). I requested him to check with his supervisor and after checking the officer informed me that I can purchase a 3G iphone if I take up the prepaid plan. I asked him if I can get a 3GS and again his answer is ‘no no u cant, u have to take up a new plan. Is that the only solution or advice that he can provide to the customers.

It is certainly not reasonable and unjustifiable if I intent to purchase/replace my stolen iphone and I am asked to continue with my existing plan or otherwise pay a hefty penalty if I want to terminate the existing contract.

Then, I asked him again what if I still have my iphone 3G and I want to upgrade to a 3GS. Again I received the same answer ‘you have to take up new plan’. So what about my existing contract/plan? So I have to serve 2 plans now? He did not answer my question and I requested him to call the supervisor as I wanted to verify/consult him. Again he went to seek his supervisor’s advice, and later he came (without the supervisor) and informed me that I can purchase a 3GS if my name is listed under the executive list (not sure the name of the list though) and I can enjoy a rebate of RM500. Obviously my name is in the list and as such I am entitled to purchase a 3GS.

Just imagine if I am the type of customer who doesn’t ask any questions, it would amount to an abuse of the process or simply in layman terms a daylight robbery. You have the duty to inform your customer on the possible solutions to overcome a problem and not simply provide the easiest answer which is take up new plan which would be beneficial to your company of course.

As I have mentioned above, I still wish to continue with my existing plan/contract despite intense persuasion from other telcos simply because I have been using the numbers for so long and I have no complaint in respect of your services until this recent incident.

I would be very grateful if you can provide me with a reasonable solution or otherwise give me the opportunity to purchase/replace my stolen iphone with the new iphone 3GS at the rate offered to Maxis new customer.

I shall wait for your favourable reply or otherwise I shall consider switching to other telcos.

Thanks and Regards

Iphone ku kena curik di hari Raya...

2009-09-28T12:55:00.000+08:00

Sedess sangat... di hari raya di hari mulia ada jugak budak2 panjang tangan... AA kata salah aku pasal tinggal handphone atas coffee table macam 'invitation to treat' la... Tapi kalau dah kat rumah sendiri mana nak terpikir ada orang akan curik the phone. Betul tak?

Buka Puasa ehsan Astro Oasis

2009-09-10T13:03:00.003+08:00

Aku terpanggil sejak semalam untuk menulis post kali ini iaitu ‘Tarawikh Bersama Akil’ hehehe macam kelakar pulak… Takde la… Macam yang korang tau sekarang ni terlalu banyak berita dan cerita yang kurang menarik tentang Ustaz Akil and personally aku takde la minat pun ngan nasyid-nasyid Ustaz Akil selama ni.

Aku pernah jumpa dengan Ustaz Akil sekali la kat ofis untuk sign agreement. Orangnya sangat kurus dan lemah lembut dan penuh budi bahasa. Dia membahasakan dirinya sebagai ‘ana’… Ana ko jangan perasan pulak heeehee… dalam hati aku (mula la nak jahat mulut nih hehehhe) ala mamat ni besa je, so what’s the big deal about him… aku lagi tambah bosan biler baca kes perceraian dan perkahwinan dia. Tak paham…. Not that I have anything against him tapi Cuma tak paham….

Semalam, ofis aku ada buat majlis berbuka puasa atas ehsan Astro Oasis. So, since it was organized by Oasis, maka majlis berbuka puasa itu pun bercirikan Islam. Majlis bermula pukul 6pm dengan bacaan ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran oleh Puan Fatimah Khasif, juara tilawah untuk 2 tahun berturut2 kemudian dituruti dengan tazkirah daripada Ustaz Asri (semua ni ikon Oasis la). Dari tazkirah sementara menunggu waktu berbuka puasa, Ustaz Asri membuka perbincangan tentang hukuman sebat Kartika. Topic hangat masa kini dan telah disensasikan oleh media barat yang tak faham tentang islam. Aku pun susah nak explain to my non-muslim colleagues about the Islamic dos and donts. Tapi nasib baik la aku ada belajar Islamic Criminal Law masa kat UiTM dulu ehich was one of my favourite subject. So dapat la aku explain kat colleagues aku pasal hokum hudud dan sebagainya…. So harap mereka faham walaupun tak dapat menerima jenis hukuman yang terdapat dalam Islam.

Alamak lari topic pulak…. So back to majlis buka puasa ehsan Astro Oasis. Masuk waktu buka, kami berbuka dengan kurma dan kueh. Solat Maghrib berjemaah dan kemudian makan malam ala-ala kampong. Lauknya banyak tapi dah sejuk sebab aircond sejuk giler sampai rasa boleh kena brian freeze jek… Nasi putih, ayam percik, ikan baker, ikan patin masak tempoyak, kerabu pegaga and taugeh, ikan bilis petai, ulam-ulaman, sambal belacan dan sambal air asam. Boleh la tahan sedap Cuma tak tahan sejuk je… lepas makan solat Isyak dan diimamkan oleh Ustaz Nabil dan highlight of the night solat tarawikh yang diimamkan oleh Ustaz Akhol Hayy.

Masyaallah…. Sungguh syahdu dan mendayu suara Ustaz Akhil. Sungguh aku tak sangka… Aku ingat biasa-biasa je bile dengar nasyid dia sebelum ni… Tu la kuasa tuhan, tak sama biler dengar bacaan ayat suci secara live dan recorded. Walaupun dia baca surah panjang tapi tak rasa pun…. Campur sejuk jugak kot… wooo first time tau solat tarawikh satu titik peluh pun tak kuar. Sekejap je rasa tarawikh dah habis (hehehhe buat lapan je pun)…. Tapi aku bersyukur cos dapat dengar dan berimamkan dia semalam…. Hmmm patutla agaknya Waheeda tertarik hehheheh…

So lepas tarawikh mesti la ada more… ada karipap suam-suam kuku, kueh mueh dan ubi rebus cecah gule kelapa or sambal. Tapi potong la ada bg sambal belacan… hidang balik sambal ikan bilis tadi pun taper…

So lepas tu balik dengan berbekal berkat bubur lambuk dan juga left-overs yang sangat banyak itu hehhehehe….

Apapun…. Aku terpegun dengan suara dan bacaaan Ustaz Akhil yang sungguh syahdu dan merdu….

Thank You Picasa

The New Look

2009-08-28T13:19:00.002+08:00

We have been living in our apartment for more than 5 years now. When we first bought the house, we never thought of repainting or what ever. We just leave the house as it is... hehhehe...

And now 5 years later, I can see the sign of aging, the white paint is no longer white... It had the yellowish effects and they were drawings and scriblings on the not so white wall. Hmmm guess who is more creative at walls decoration... It was hmmm... no it is still Alaani... When i scolded her and asked who did it, she'll say 'Abaa' for 'Abang'. Pity Abang....

My bedroom was worse... it had the yellowish spots and blots that looks like fungus. Huh... I really hated it... So after much persuasion and nagging (i supposed), Hubby said OK. Yeay... So we thought of the colour combination etc... etc... and the result is as follows.

This is our living room. Combination of Sashay Red and Orange Calming Daisy

This is our bedroom. Also Sashay Red and Lavender.

From Different Angle

I love the colours of my house now... My mind and my heart.... Is now at peace... Not my pocket though...

2009-08-27T11:46:00.005+08:00

We went to Cameron Highlands a week before Ramadhan cos Hubby wanted to play golf with his buddies before Ramadhan comes. Said Ok provided that we can tag along hehehhe… But he made it clear or i can say that he told me repeatedly that his purpose was to play golf, we can go but he won’t accompany us on Saturday cos they intended to play 2 course that day. I told him it’s fine, I can manage the kids without him. But he said no and insists on bringing our maid so that she can take care of Alaani if I’m driving. We had few complexity before going that I almost cancelled off the trip. My maid was sick then Alaani got sick as well. Then Hubby couldn’t find an apartment cos it was all full bla bla bla….

But as you know we went despite all those and off we went, on 14 August 2009 after work. We were supposed to leave right after Maghrib prayers but because of lots of things we got held up. Hubby was pissed of cos we were like on each others throat and as usual Haikal was victimized because of that. Initially we thot of having dinner at one of the restaurants along the highway. But since we left quite late and the road was bad because of the rain we decided to had Mc Donald at Petronas only. We were quite except for Haikal and Alaani’s antiques. So what if I’m like 3o minutes late? I was the one who had to packed everything and make sure that all the stuffs got packed esp for the kids…. So what if I wasn’t that organized … I just got back from work and I was tired like you too except that I am not gonna drive that nite….

So the whole journey he kept on ranting at Haikal for being noisy. He can’t sleep, he was so excited and he kept on asking when are we arriving…. But after a while he got tired and sleepy and finally we got the peace… We took the long way up through Simpang Pulai as the road is bigger and less winding but it took us about 2 and ½ hours to reached Brinchang. We are staying at Strawberry’s Park and we had to wait for the Captain (owner of the apartment) to come and gave us the keys. By the time we reached the apartment, the kids are up… We arrived at the apartment approx 1 am and they were jumpin and running around the apartment. It took us a while to settle down and I managed to sleep around 230am after the kids slept. But Alaani kept waking up and cried. Prob she’s cold and not use to the weather or prob she’s just tired from the journey.

The next day we woke up early. Haikal wanted to go out and see Cameron Highlands. So after hubby left for his golfing day, we packed some stuff, some extra clothes and off we went. Thought of bringing the kids to strawberry farm and the tea plantation and probably stopped for some scones and tea. We headed to Tanah Rata, saw the small town and I wanted to stop at Bharat Tea Plantation but however I did not stopped until we reached the Ringlet. By this time Haikal was dizzy and as usual he vomitted. I had to turned again and we saw this bee farm aka strawberry farm and at last we stopped. Went to look at the bees and the strawberries. Then I saw the sign that the road lead to Boh Tea Plantation as well. So I drove in, the signboard only say 6km ahead but it was such a small road and very winding and zigzaggy, I was so scared… and 6km in that state of road it took ages for me to reach the plantation. It was OK if there’s no oncoming cars but to make matter worst of course there will be cars from the other direction. So one of us had to make way for the other to past. On the way up it was less challenging but on the way down I met up with a bus at a very curvy curve and I had to reverse the car until I almost hit the side of the hill and I almost screamed cos it seemed that the bus is going to scratch the side of my car. Luckily it dint happened and I swear that I am not going to that plantation anymore....

On the way up the hill...

Half way up the hill

Posing at the big stone up the hill
Haikal took this pictures... Not bad huh...
Stopped for a while on the curvy road cos Haikal had to vomit
Why is Alaani like that?
Better tapi Haikal la pulak...
Budak-budak ni susah betul amik gambar sekarang...

By the time we reached the main road it was almost 12pm. Haikal wanted to go back to the apartment and Alaani got cranky. She cried all the way back to Tanah Rata cos she wants me to carry her. I cant, I was driving and the road is winding and curvy. I had to stopped for a while soothe her. Thot she will sleep but no she ended up playing with Haikal. Had no choice had to give her back to my maid and the wailing started. Stopped at the first stall, ordered nasi soto and laksa for the kids.

Hubby called saying that he’s on the way to Tanah Rata for lunch. He came to picked us up and then accompany him for lunch. After lunch we sent him to the golf course went to Kasi Manis Strawerry Farm, had icecream and headed back to the apartment.

The kids slept and I slept jugak la hehehhe… Bout 630pm we went out and headed to the pasar malam in Brinchang. Met up with Hubby there. Bought some strawberries, vegetables and food for the maid.

Back at the apartment for a while then we went out again for steamboat with Hubby’s friends at Hotel Pasadena. Then balik tidur while watching Ayat-AYat Cinta.

The nest day, after packing, initially we wanted to bring the kids to butterfly park, then we remembered that the park only showed stuffed butterflies so we went to Cameron valley for some tea and scones with Hubbies friends.

Kenapa la muka semua masam ni...

Azrul Bidin Hubby & Fey

Then went back to Sungai Buluh…. Reached home about 730pm….

Lama Tak Update

2009-08-25T12:33:00.002+08:00

Lamanya aku tak update and macam2 dah berlaku, Mak & Ayah 40th Anniversary, Haikal's Family Day and we went to Cameron Highland last week... Dan yang paling terbaru, menjelangnya bulan posa tahun 2009. Masuk tahun ni, alhamdulilah dapat berpuasa kali ke-5 dengan hubby, kali ke-4 dengan Haikal dan kali ke-2 dengan Alaani.

Haikal sekarang makin mengada and Ceria freak... sangat geram... to the extent sanggup tipu aku cos nak tengok Ceria. As the result, aku 'locked' channel tu supaya he can learned the lesson. Lesson learnt for a day or two then skrg nampak mcm nak jadi balik. Semalam satu hari tak tidur siang cos tgk TV. Bukan apa, kalau dia tgk disney channel ker cartoonn network ker taper la can improve his english. Ni tak asik tgk Ceria jek, language pun dan jadi language Ceria. Ada ke patut Haikal nak marah aku and dia cakap 'Mama Pengecut'... isk isk... tapi masalahnya aku takleh locked pulaj Ceria pagi tadi... nasib la....

Alaani sekarang ni pun dah pandai buat perangai... mengada-ngada... Tak boleh kena cuit sikit dia akan menjerit sakan mcm orang pukul dia... Tak boleh kalau Haikal datang duduk dekat pun, dia dah menjerit. Lagi satu kalau tak bagi apa dia nak, dia dah pandai merajuk menangis sampai baring kat lantai. Selagi tak dapat dia akan sembam muka dia kat lantai.... mcm mana nak buat... tolong la....

Tapi kalau main berdua, tak ingat nye bising satu rumah, menejerit2 and terkedek2 lari.... pastu gaduh pastu main balik... Suka ati la... mmg tak aman duduk kat rumah skrg... Tgk TV pun tak dengar apa...

Apa pun aku bersyukur dengan apa yang ada... aku bersyukur ada hubby and ada Haikal dan Alaani. Marah-marah sayang... hehheheh...

Happy One Year Astro!!

2009-07-07T15:42:00.001+08:00

Today, exactly a year ago, was my first day working at Astro. I was so excited and paranoid at the same time. I have been working on my own for 2 years and before that in a small size legal firm and now I am joining a big reputable company with thousands of employees. A friend of mine who used to work in a related company once told me, that the works good but I have to be careful of the office politics, so I always mind my own business and keep everyone at arm’s length.

Hahahhaha…. Betul ker aku buat macam tu? No, obviously not but I do keep my distance with my boss and immediate supervisor. My boss even labelled me 'good behaviour' hahhahaha... tak pernah aku di label good behaviour... inilah first time dalam sejarah hidup aku. Kalau tak asik la aku yang nakal asik la aku yang banyak cakap.

Looking back, can’t imagine how time flies… am I happy here? I can’t really say it’s a mixture of happiness and unhappiness. Since I joined they took away the 2 months contractual bonus and converted it into monthly salary. Then they’ve introduced ranking system whereby you will be ranked in terms of performance with your peers. In my mind, it’s OK to compare you with a peer of the same department having the same KPI and KRA’s but this is not the case. They ranked you with your peers in the whole of your company. And if you are successful you’ll get 3%-5% increment which is so low. I am so taken aback by the whole process but what the heck, I’ll get use to it soon. To add salt to the injury, the company froze all new recruitment because of the economic crisis (lifted recently) but left us the legal department with no vacancy for a managerial position which I have been eyeing and silently competing with my other colleague for the same position. So, low increment and no possibility for a promotion…. Am I supposed to be happy?

Work wise, it has ups and downs. Boring desk bound job… that is the best way to describe my work. Agreements… agreements… agreements…. But sometimes tu best jugak…. Dapat tau artist u duduk mana, hp no., and the most important thing (to me la) I know how much they earned hehheheh and then get to meet them for signing purposes. But again not all la… Only those that are exclusive to Astro only.

What else? I get to do signature programmes such as Sehati Berdansa and Raja Lawak. My colleague did AF7 cos she is a fan of AF unlike me hehhehe… joined their productions and operational meeting, marketing and so on so forth. Quite interesting although my job is only restricted to giving legal advice for the whole operation… Again get to meet people with interesting job esp the producers. They are called the creative people.

Hmmm what else? So what do you think? Best ke tak keje aku ni? Huuhuhuh….

Transformers Jugak....

2009-07-02T12:11:00.004+08:00

We promise Haikal that if he behave himself, we'll take him to watch Transformers. Though he's not really behaving, we took him anyway. Booked ticket at TGV KLCC at 12.05pm, 27 June 2009. He had good time watching, eating popcorn dan drinking coke. After a while he became restless, told him to sit still but kids being kids... isk isk but at least he dint run around the cinema or made noise.

Alaani? we left her at home with kakak. Pity her but dont think that she can stay still for more than what 1 minute? hahahha... She cried so hard that I promised her that I'll taker her out later. What a bribery....

After a while I notice that Haikal was quiet, leerrr he slept... Aiyooo he was the one who really wanted to watch Transfoermer and now he slept. Tried to wake him upp but he just slept while sitting. Hmmm.... What to do? We let him sleep la....

After movie, as usual window shopping and lunch hehheheh... Then the following happened:

Aiikk... What's this? Ooohhh nice wedges...

Almost there....

Finally...
All the above pics were actually taken by Haikal... Not so suprising la kan? Hahahahhaah
But he eventually managed to take our pic hmm cant say perfectly but at least our faces there :)

Haikal and Mama

Alaani 1st Birthday

2009-04-06T15:14:00.009+08:00

Happy 1st Birthday Alaani....

We took her out for her very first birthday dinner that night. Bought hazelnut chocolate cake and eat and Shakey's Pizza. She loves soup and that's the nearest that we could take her and need not go through the Friday jam. Anyhow she's too small to appreciate expensive food. To her as long as she loves the food, it's OK hehhehehe...

While waiting for food, took pictures and sadly we dint have the cake. Haikal been asking for it but told him we're bringing the cake to MIL's place tomorrow so no cake hahhahaha... evil I know but I dont want to buy 2 cakes and end up being the one finishing it.

Someone came to sell cupcakes and we bought it for the kids to eat. Hehhehe instead of eating the cakes. But again I dint let the kids eat it that nite. So the next day, Haikal kept on bugging me to let him eat the cupcake. Or the exact words, mama Alaani wants to eat her cupcakes.... So pictures of the nice but expensive cupcakes.

Alaani while and after eating the cupcakes

At MIL's house with Siti & Sidi, Mak Ngah & Pak Ngah, Mak Lang and Mak Teh.

I dint realise Alaani grabbed the chocolate on the cake. But it's worth it. I love looking at the pictures. Though the pics not so nice cos she kept on moving.

They kept on calling Alaani 'food food' cos she only response to you if you have food in your hand. Hhuhuhuhu how la... but it's true. Should see when she tried to grabbed food from your hand or how she tried to grabbed food from the table. So cute. She will not sleep if food is still on the table. She will try as hard as she can to get the food hehheheh.

Alaani's gift.

3rd pic - dress from Mak Lang

Not in the pic - gifts mama & ayah that is yet to be purchased hehhehehe

Confession of a Shopaholic

2009-04-02T16:57:00.002+08:00

I first came across the book ‘Confession of a Shopaholic’ when hubby’s friend (hmmm a girl lawyer friend tau…) accidentally left the book in hubby’s car when hubby gave her ride back to office from court. Hahhahaha I really want to see her face when hubby told her that she left the book in his car and I found it. Luckily I’m not the ‘jealous’ type.

Anyway, I have always wanted to buy that book but somehow being me I did not. So, when she left it in hubby’s car, I read it and I really like it. Thought of buying the next book but again I did not. So, when the book is being adapted into movie, told hubby I want to watch it. He asked me, is it good? What’s the story about? I told her it’s the book that ‘his friend’ left in the car a while back and he said ‘oohhh ok…’.

I booked the tickets for last Friday at Pavillion. Hubby lifted the ban on Pavillion hehhehe if you can remember the J.Co’s incident. The one that we had to pay RM50 for parking cos I lost the ticket hhehehehhe…

Went straight for office to Pavillion. Was caught in the smart tunnel jam for almost an hour. Left office around 6 and arrived at Pavillion almost 730pm huhuhuh… Got the tickets and went to check out Coach store. Hehehhe Coach I will definitely get one of you by the end of the month…. Crossing my fingers for that. Am going to Jakarta and Bandung this month and hubby said the Coach prices over there is much more cheaper. And I will also check the collection in KLIA.

Then, last stop before movie, we had the long awaited and postponed birthday dinner for hubby at Tony Roma’s. We had Onion Loaf, Tony’s Salad & 5 pieces of beef ribs. It was good and we were so full. A bit expensive but we will definitely come again.

Finally, the movie started. We had a good time laughing watching the movie. I really like Isla Fisher though she didn’t really sound like ‘Rebecca Bloom’ in the book. I love hugh Dancy as he is so miserably cute and messy. All in all I like the movie and I definitely going to buy the book and start the Sophie Kinsella collection. I missed my Harry Potter’s collection though….

Anyhow, watching the movie made me think. Am i a shopaholic? Hmmm…. sadly I think I am. Shopping makes me happy. I still have a long list of things to buy. I mean unnecessary things like clothes, shoes and handbags.

BUT in my defense I have to say that although I always have the urge to shop, I dont buy on impulse. I will look at the things once and come back to buy later. If it's still there, then it is meant for me to buy and if it isnt, then it;s just not meant to be. I am also a comparative shopper. My collegues laughed at my habit but so what. To me, why pay more for the same stuff . That's my philosophy. Hehhehehehhe

For All Mothers or Mother to be

Alaani Is Turning 1...

2009-03-31T15:19:00.000+08:00

In 3 days time, Alaani is turning 1. I cannott believe how fast time flies. I know I have to upload more pictures and stories of her. My posts are mostly on Haikal, Haikal 1st Movie, Haikal 1st day of School, Haikal’s Operation etc etc. I know I know…

I’ve been meaning to write more about Alaani. What she can do now, her milestones. I will.. I will... and for a strat I’ve been compiling her pictures to upload.

I’ll elaborate when I have the pictures with me here in the office. Anyhow, she can walk now. That’s quite fast. She started walking when she was 10 months but barely especially when I’m around, but she started walking when she turned 11 months. She has 4 teeths and can mumble few words now. The sad part is she cant say ‘Mama’ but she can say ‘Bibi’… hhuhuuhuhuhu... How la….

Thank God, All is Well

2009-03-20T18:52:00.003+08:00

We went for second opinion at Ampang Puteri and he ordered Haikal to undergo a hearing test. We did and the nurse in fact did several tests to confirm her findings. She even did the test on my hubby just to test that the machine is working. The nurse said, usually the graph will have at least some peak but Haikal’s tests were all flat. She dare not say anything and told us to hear what the doctor had to day bout the tests.

Not to our surprise, the doctor confirmed it and said, his actual words were “kalau nak kata teruk, ni antara yang paling teruk yang saya pernah jumpa”.

So we had no choice but to go for surgery to remove his adenoid and tonsils. On top of that, the doctor will placed 2 tubes in each ear to drain the phlegm that has thickened at the back of his ears. Apparently the phlegm has affected his hearing hence no peak. The doctor further said 90% of parents won’t realize that their kids have hearing problems since it’s actually undetectable. Luckily we realize it because if not it will affect his hearing permanently.

So after long discussion and explanation on the surgery and what not we agreed to go for the surgery on 17 March 2009. The doctor said if there’s any complication, it will be because of the tube. The tube will come out on its own usually between 3-6 months. Since the tube is a foreign substance, it MAY (1) affect his balance; and (2) his body may reject it since it’s foreign substance in his organs.

And that’s what I’m afraid of. The worse is yet to come. The doctor said I may have to accompany him into the operation theatre until he goes to sleep. OMG how am I supposed to see him in that condition…. I don’t know how I can stand looking at him so small on the operating table… HUHUHUHUHUHUHU!!!!

We had to prep him for his surgery. But I never told him about the surgery. I asked whether his ear ache or is he always in pain. Haikal said, never in pain but he felt that there’s a lot of water in his ears. Thank god, at least he’s not in pain. So I told him, doctor will need to cure him. We need to go to hospital cause doctor need to put medicine in his ears so that water can come out. Every time I mentioned hospital, he’ll start crying.

After some time (or after much bribery) he accepted the fact that he had to go to hospital. We had to shop for toys, bought new pencil colours and coloring books. See to what extent we had to go to prep him.

Finally, it’s the day that we had to admit him. Hubby went with Haikal for admission process. Tried to get a single room but it was full and we got a twin bed instead. We were no. 4 on the waiting list for single room.

What to do… Alaani had to stay home with bibi. Wouldn’t want her to be there and see her brother in pain. His operation is scheduled at 830am the next day. No. 1 on the doctor’s list. After subuh prayer, I couldn’t sleep. I prayed so hard that all will be OK and Haikal will recover fast. i kept looking at him in his sleep and pray for him.

830am past. No one came to bring Haikal to OT. Asked the nurse. She said they will call once the OT informed that they are ready. About 920am, the nurse came and brought Haikal’s change of clothe. He started crying and we tried to console him. We carried him to the OT (not really OT, outside OT thay call it Recovery Room). We were about there for almost an hour and yet they are still not ready.

Once inside, my eyes became watery. I couldn’t stand it, the most dreaded episode is about to happened. Hubby told me not to cry in front of Haikal. He said I will scare him more. But what can I do? I am a mother and my son is about to be operated on.

We were about there for almost an hour and yet they are still not ready. We used the time to prep him and console him. Then the nurse came and told me to change my clothes. Soon, the anesthetist came and informed us the procedure. It’s time and I had to carry Haikal into the OT. OMG it was such a scary place even for me. Haikal cried and I had to be strong for him. I felt like crying too… but I managed not to cry, Haikal was holding me for his dear life… They waited for few minutes and still he cried, then the anesthetist told me that they couldn’t wait, so 4 nurses had to hold him down while the anesthetist gassed him… I couldn’t stop my tears, slowly it was running down my cheek. In less than 10 seconds, Haikal was asleep and the nurse told me and had to drag me out. Haikal looked so small and helpless….

Waiting sucks… We waited for about an hour. I kept seeing patient being wheeled out from OT. Suddenly I saw the anesthetist carrying a boy. Called my hubby and told him is that Haikal. Hubby looked and said probably because the patient looked so small. Then the nurse came to get me. Once she opened the door, I can hear him crying and screaming for me. OMG he’s already awake.

The sight of him right after the surgery really broke my heart. With traces of blood in his nose and mouth still full of blood. And I cant stand the screaming… “Mama… Sakit!!!” and he’s almost clotheless. He cant sleep because he’s really in pain and he’s shivering from the pain and the coldness. Seriously, when he cried, I cried too. They dint allow my hubby to come in. but after sometime, I told the nurse to get my husband cos I couldn’t stand being there alone. I am helpless and I couldn’t help ease his pain.

Haikal was in pain the whole day. He woke up from the pain. He would grab my hand and told me to stay cos it’s too painful. And I think his mouth hurts from the clam that they use to keep his mouth open. He dint drink or eat a single thing that day. He vomited blood. I had to wipe his mouth and face with ice to reduce the swollen. And every time I stopped, he started to cry.

MIL, FIL and SIL were all there. Hubby brought Alaani and bibik in the afternoon and I never left his side. By evening, his pain lessened. I really thank god for that. He started talking or at least listened to us talking and not crying of his pain. At night, he forces hubby to ‘pasang’ B-Daman for him and he wanted to colour but his so tired I told him not to colour yet. Then Uncle Azrul, Bidin & GF, Jay and Che We n Alia came to visit. He’s a bit better but not in the mood to talk. But he vomited blood again. Then when hubby sent Alaani and bibik home, he kept on asking for ayah. Ayah bought him lollipop and viatgen. He took a sip then that’s it.

The next day he woke up early and said to me “Mama Haikal dah baik dah… Haikal nak balik….”
Again I almost cried. I told him OK but we have to wait for the doctor to discharge us first. And he’s back to his normal self except that he cant eat cos it still hurts.
I asked him what he wants to eat and he said tomyam… How la….

Anyhow, I thank god that he’s OK now and I hope it will not come back and I don’t have to go through this again….

Enlarged Adenoids - To wait or not to wait...

2008-12-30T17:46:00.003+08:00

Both Haikal's paed and ENT suggested surgery to remove his enlarged adenoids. Though he still snores during his sleeps but his fever alhamdulilah lessened and not as bad as before. Bad - as in every 2 weeks and very high fever. The next check up will be on 28 Jan 09, and we have to decide by then whether we want to proceed with the surgery or not... Arrgghhh... I feel that he is still so small and being a drama king himself, I have doubts... I read this article about adenoids and it freaks me out... Hmm not really.... I am just in doubt....

Enlarged Adenoids

Often, tonsils and adenoids are surgically removed at the same time. Although you can see the tonsils by looking in your child's throat, adenoids aren't directly visible. Your child's doctor has to use a small mirror or a special scope to get a peek at your child's adenoids.

So, what are adenoids anyway? They're a mass of tissue, located in the passage that connects the back of the nasal cavity to the throat. Adenoids — which are also called nasopharyngeal tonsils but are separate from the tonsils in the throat — filter out bacteria and viruses entering through the nose and produce antibodies to help the body fight infections.

Some doctors believe that adenoids may not be important at all after kids reach their third birthday. In fact, adenoids usually shrink after about 5 years of age, and they often practically disappear by the teenage years.

What Are the Symptoms of Enlarged Adenoids?
Because adenoids trap germs that enter a child's body, adenoid tissue sometimes temporarily swells as it tries to fight off an infection. There are several symptoms associated with enlarged adenoids. You may notice that your child:
1. complains of difficulty breathing through the nose (nope)
2. is breathing through the mouth -sometimes
3. talks as if his or her nostrils are pinched - yes
4. breathes noisily - yes
5. snores while sleeping - double yess
stops breathing for a few seconds while sleeping (called sleep apnea) - afraid if he does

If enlarged adenoids are suspected, your child's doctor may:
1. Ask about and then check your child's ears, nose, and throat. Done
2. Listen to your child's breathing through a stethoscope. Done
3. Feel your child's neck near the jaw. Done
4. To get a really close look, the doctor may even want to take one or more X-rays. For a suspected infection, the doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics or maybe an injection of penicillin. Nope but he has been taking antihistamined for the past one year

When Is Surgery Necessary?
If enlarged or infected adenoids keep bothering your child and medicine doesn't stop them from coming back, the doctor may recommend surgically removing them with a procedure called an adenoidectomy. This may be recommended if your child experiences one or more of the following:
1. difficulty breathing
2. sleep apnea
3. recurrent infections

Having your child's adenoids removed is especially important when repeated infections lead to sinus and ear infections. Badly swollen adenoids can interfere with ear pressure and fluid movement, which can sometimes lead to hearing loss. Therefore, kids whose infected adenoids cause frequent earaches and fluid buildup may need to get an adenoidectomy as well as ear tube surgery.

And although adenoids can be taken out without the tonsils, if your child is having tonsil problems, they may need to be removed at the same time. A tonsillectomy with an adenoidectomy is the most common operation for children.

What Happens During the Surgery? Am afraid of this part actually
Surgery, no matter how common or simple the procedure, is often frightening for both the child and parent. You can help prepare your child for surgery by talking about what to expect. During the adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy:

1. Your child will receive general anesthesia. This means the surgery will be performed in an operating room so that an anesthesiologist can monitor your child.
2. Your child will be asleep for about 20 minutes.
3. The surgeon can get to the tonsils and/or the adenoids through your child's open mouth — there's no need to cut through skin.
4. The surgeon removes the tonsils and/or the adenoids with a series of incisions and then cauterizes (or seals) the blood vessels.
5. Your child will wake up in the recovery area. In most cases, the total time in the hospital is 5 to 10 hours. 6. However, kids who have trouble breathing or show signs of bleeding will return immediately to the operating room. And kids under 3 years of age and those with chronic disease, such as seizure disorders or cerebral palsy, will usually stay overnight for observation.

The typical recuperation after a tonsillectomy and/or an adenoidectomy often involves a week or more of pain and discomfort due to the exposure of the throat muscles. Because of throat pain, your child will probably prefer eating a lot of soft foods, like ice cream, pudding, and soups.

About a week after surgery, everything should return to normal. The cut area will be left to heal naturally, which means there are no stitches to worry about. There's a small chance any tissue that's left behind can swell, but it rarely causes new problems.

After surgery, a child's symptoms typically disappear immediately, unless there's a lot of swelling that could lead to some temporary symptoms.

Understanding Enlarged Adenoids
Even though some kids may need surgery, it's important to remember that enlarged adenoids are normal in others. If your child's adenoids aren't infected, the doctor may choose to wait to operate because the adenoids may eventually shrink on their own as adolescence approaches.

Tonsils and Tonsillitis
Tonsils are clumps of tissue on both sides of the throat that trap bacteria and viruses entering through the throat and produce antibodies to help fight infections.

Tonsillitis occurs when tonsils become infected and swell. If you look down your child's throat with a flashlight, the tonsils may be red and swollen or have a white or yellow coating on them. Other symptoms of tonsillitis may include:
1. sore throat
2. pain or discomfort when swallowing
3. fever
4. swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck

But enlarged or swollen tonsils are a common finding for many kids. Left alone, your child's enlarged tonsils may eventually shrink on their own over the course of several years. Don't rely on your own guesses, though — you might not be able to judge whether your child's tonsils are infected. If you suspect tonsillitis, contact your doctor. Recurrent sore throats and infections should also be evaluated by the doctor, who may order a throat culture to check for strep throat.

About Tonsillectomies
The surgical procedure to remove tonsils is called a tonsillectomy. The doctor may suggest tonsillectomy if your child has one or more of the following:
1. persistent or recurrent tonsillitis or strep infections
2. swollen tonsils that make it hard to breathe
3. difficulty eating meat or chewy foods
4. snoring that might be affecting the child's daily activities
5. obstructive sleep apnea (a condition in which your child may stop breathing for a few seconds at a time during sleep because enlarged tonsils are partially blocking the airway)

Surgery, no matter how common or simple the procedure, is often frightening for both child and parent. You can help prepare your child for surgery by talking about what to expect.

During the tonsillectomy:
1. Your child will receive general anesthesia. This means the surgery will be performed in an operating room so that an anesthesiologist can monitor your child.
2. Your child will be asleep for about 20 minutes.
3. The surgeon can get to the tonsils through your child's open mouth — there's no need to cut through skin.
4. The surgeon removes the tonsils with a series of incisions and then stops any bleeding.
5. Your child will wake up in the recovery area. In most cases, the total time in the hospital is 5 to 10 hours.

However, kids who have trouble breathing or show signs of bleeding will return immediately to the operating room. And kids under 3 years of age and kids with chronic disease, such as seizure disorders or cerebral palsy, will usually stay overnight for observation.

The typical recuperation after a tonsillectomy often involves a week or more of pain and discomfort due to the exposure of the throat muscles after the tonsils are removed. This can affect your child's ability to eat and drink and return to normal activities.

Intracapsular tonsillectomy, a variation on traditional tonsillectomy techniques, is surgery in which all involved tonsil tissue is removed; however, a small layer of tonsil tissue is left in place to protect the underlying throat muscles. As a result, the recovery is much faster because most kids experience less pain, don't need as much strong pain medication, and are more willing to eat and drink. Additionally, the risk of bleeding after surgery is significantly less than with a traditional tonsillectomy. Since residual tonsil tissue remains, there is a very slight chance that it can re-enlarge or become infected and require more tonsil surgery, but this occurs in less than 1% of children undergoing intracapsular tonsillectomy.

How? To do or not to so?

Shopaholic

2008-12-22T17:08:00.001+08:00

I think I am a shopaholic or have become one (in denial stage shaking my head)…. This month alone I bought more than 10 shirts and blouses for myself and I have bought scarves for about the same numbers. OMG!!!! Bought MAC foundation powder, shirts for Haikal and Alaani. Thought of buying shirts for hubby but couldn’t find one that I like.

I still haven’t bought few items from my list:-
i. Coach handbag;
ii. DKNY Red Delicious perfume;
iii. more shoes;
iv. etc etc… (still not admitting there's a long list to this list)

We have also been eating out a lot this month:-
i. Paddington House of Pancake;
ii. Penang Little Café;
iii. Rawsha (Iranian food);

How? How?
Die!! Die!!!

My First Press Conference

2008-12-19T17:31:00.002+08:00

I have been looking forward to go for my very first press conference when they launched Sehati Berdansa Season 2 sometime in October. But somehow the producer forgot to send the invites to me hhuhuhuhu….

So for the Raja Lawak Season 3, the producer knew that I wasn’t invited for Sehati Berdansa’s press conference and he kept on saying that I will not forget you Nomy…. Don’t worry…. True to his word, I did get the invites. It was yesterday at Saloma Bistro Jalan Ampang.

I arrived a bit late. Had Xmas makan-makan and exchanged gifts with my boss and colleagues. We had to do it yesterday as we had a big presentation before the big boss on Tuesday and 2 of my collegues are on leave today.

The press conference was interesting. Wanted to take pictures but I malu hehhehee…. A lot of people form the press... Sebenarnya tak tau and tak kenal pun. I sat with the producers and the team. Wanted to seat with Mr Heartthrob (I know you know Ms Dancing Queen hehehhehe) but cannot la , it was a high profile table.

I missed the opening speech and the speech given by our new channel manager. That's OK though... It was hosted by Johan and Azizan and they are in fact funny. A good combination I can say. The way the introduced the finalists was also funny. Finalists were placed in a box that looked like mobile toilets and they can only come out of the box once the hosts announced their name. My personal view (but I dint really follow last season) they have better finalists this time compared to last season. We have 2 girls this time.

The best part is yet to come. Food and more food hahhahaha…. The food not that good but edible lah at least. Got grilled lamb tau…. Joined my colleagues from ground floor. Initially thought of seating with the assistant producer and the producer’s PA.

After tea, my colleagues had to leave. Sat with the AP for a while to talk about contracts. Got the chance to talk to the hosts and finalists then it’s time to go…. OK la wasn’t that bad considering that I am not the ramah tamah type hehhehehe….

Haikal First Movie

2008-12-14T12:16:00.002+08:00

My colleague promised me free tickets to ‘Cicakman 2’ since I have been helping her drafting the terms and conditions for ‘Cicakman 2’ contest to be uploaded to the channel’s website. I have been telling Haikal about it and he was very excited. He kept asking me when we can go watch the movie constantly and persistently and bordering to the stage of annoying.

For me, after the end of Harry Potter’s series, I felt empty. I lived in the world of Harry Potter. I have been in deep discussion with a dear friend about it, Miss Liz Claiborne (I know you know who you are LOL) and she introduced me to ‘Twilight’. Though I find it not as fascinating as Harry Potter I kept on reading it and tried to be as much involved in the book. I am fascinated with Edward and his self control. The ‘vegetarian vampire’ so he said. I have been telling hubby that I wanted to watch Twilight. Though I am a bit disappointed with the chosen ‘Edward ‘ but I am content and I believed that he was chosen for a reason….. hmmm…

OK, back to Haikal. Told hubby that Twilight is on and I want to go watch it last 2 weekends. But he said, he wanted to bring Haikal go watch ‘Madagascar’ together with my SIL, Nan. Ok la, Twilight can wait another week since I don’t even know at that time when I am gonna get tickets for Cicakman 2.

So, we went back to Sungai Buluh last 2 weeks, left Alaani and bibik there and brought Haikal and Nan to One Utama. Before that, since morning, we had to listen to Haikal rambling and nagging to go watch ‘Madagascar’ to the point that we nearly cancelled since he kept on insisting on it. Even while queieng to buy ticket, Haikal kept saying ‘I wanna watch madagascar’. Isk isk mmg hilang sabar tau…

Bought popcorn and softdrinks and finally, we were in the theatre. As usual, they were showing the ads and thrillers and again, we almost lost our patience when Haikal kept asking when will the movie start. HELPPP!!!!! Anybody has any tips for annoying kids?

All in all he was very happy and excited. But every now and then he asked when will the movie finish, why is it so long. Isk isk… he dance with the character but luckily he dint run around the theatre like the other 2 kids on the front row.

Haikal had too many popcorns and softdrinks and the theatre was so cold. After the movie finished, he said he has to go. Hubby brought him to the gents and there was a long queue. Hubby dint think of taking him to the disabled toilet and being a kid he couldn’t contain it and he wet his pants. Luckily we brought extra clothes with us and he had to change and Nan and myself had to wait a long time outside the men’s toilet. What a day…

Last week we watched Twilight. Dint bring Haikal this time. We needed time on our own. You know what? I’ll write in a different post. Tunggu… Paddington House of Pancake and Twilight in a day…

Last Wednesday, my colleague told me that she had the tickets for Cicakman 2 ready and to collect it from her. She got like tickets for the whole theatre and she also had the sitting positions in her desktop (like when you buy tickets at the counter, they will show you the sitting positions)… Wow…. So chose my seats got the tickets and we’re good to go. Going with Miss Nichii and her family. Told hubby about it and he said he cant go, he has to attend launching for his client’s new project in Kinrara the whole weekend. Too bad…

As usual, the second choice is Nan. Since it’s a school holiday, she will always be available. Yesterday, went to Sungai Buluh, left Alaani and Bibik there, off we go to Cathay Cineleisure. Met up with Miss Niichi and were told by my other colleague that it was free seating so we can seat anywhere. Sat together with Miss Niichi and Cicakman 2 started. That was fast, no ads and thrillers. Ohh… we also got free popcorns and drinks this time. It was fun. I think better than the first Cicakman.

After that, window shopped at the Curve and Ikano. Haikal kept on crying and asking for toys. I really don’t know what to do. He has to get something if not he will cry and started kicking me or making scenes. He has like 3 boxes of toys that he dint play with. It’s just the excitement of getting something new. I felt like I bought more things for him compared to Alaani. Yesterday, for instance I bought 2 shirts for Haikal but none for Alaani. Haikal is in need of new clothes, he grew up taller now and that his shirts are all getting smaller. But not his pants though, he can still fit his pants from his infant years but I had to alter a little bit la, sew to make it 3 quarter pants.

Reality Show -Programme

2008-11-21T17:27:00.002+08:00

Am not really a fan of that programme but since I was very much involve with not the making of the programme but more on the legal side of it + I know the background of it, I sort of felt obligated to watch the programme every week or at least know the weekly theme or which couple was voted out. Puan Majistret minta maaf…. I know how much you love the programme.

Last week or was it last 2 weeks sowey I cant remember, the producer called me up checking on some work related problem. Then she asked why I haven’t been to the show yet. Told her I might go for the finale but she said to come anytime but she will save seats for me for the finals if I want to. I have this new colleague who seems to be enjoying all these things i.e. artists and gossips and from just an empty talk it turned into a done deal. We are going for the recording of the programme this week. ‘We’ here means my manager, my boss, my new colleague and me.

After like so many discussions on what to wear and how to act and where to seat, we finally went last night. When we arrived to office, we checked on each other’s clothes. None of us is dressed according to the theme hehheheheh…. The theme this week is rock and roll.

So after all the hard work (LOL), it’s time to go. We thought of having something to eat prior to the recording and having the privilege of being the staff, we got in without the need to queue like the rest of the audience. Btw, all the audiences were asked to wait at the lobby. We went in, saw the place where the host supposed to interview the contestant while waiting for the jury to give out scores, took pictures, then went to cafeteria for light snack.

The producer forwarded me his tac team contact number earlier. She told me to call him and he will show us our seats. Called him up and he said to meet him in front of Studio 1 now. So we went and he showed us our seats. OMG it was front seats with VIP labels on it hahhahaha… We were seated next to the celebrities and behind the judges….

Before it started, the floor manager informed the audience what’s going to happen, showed us when and how to clap (which is all the time) and all the dos and the donts. Our hand hurts even before the show started huhuhuhu… and our mouth hurts form laughing…. I am so sure that our faces will be on TV A LOT. But since I was seated beside the celebrity (dare not mention name here, but if you are watching the programme tomorrow and you know who I am, you’ll know who the celebrity was hehehhe), he’ll be blocking me with his banner (I really hope so).

So the recording took about 2 and half hours with breaks and retakes in between. We were quite fascinated cos we have never been to any recording even my boss who has been working here for 12 years now. During break, we had to give our seats to all the fans who wanted to take pictures with all the celebrities. One of my colleague, she wanted to take pictures at the stage, so I took many pictures of her there.

Basically that’s it, but overall it was a new experience for me. Thought of going for the decision show cos that one will be a live show. I have to go to all this, cos I need to know the product mwahahhahahah… hmmm should i post pictures here?? hmmmmm....

4 years of waiting…

2008-11-20T11:15:00.000+08:00

Bandung/Jakarta here I come…
Finally after 4 years of hearing hubby saying ‘I will take you to Bandung’, I finally bought the ticket last night.
But we’re not going now, next few week, or even next month.
We’re going next April…. Huhuhuh
Anticlimax I know… Tell me about it… All becos hubby going to Jakarta to play golf in February.

Scary Dentist

2008-11-18T11:36:00.001+08:00

I just realized that I need to do filling for one of my tooth as the hole (is that what they call it hehhehe) is getting bigger and bigger. So last Sunday I went on a hunt for a dentist. I know that not many clinics open on Sundays but I don’t wanna wait for next Saturday. So clinic after clinic I went and it all closed. I went to Ampang Point, Bandar Baru Ampang and at last end up in Taman Kosas where I came across this clinic which was open.

As I went up the stairs, I made this comment silently, the place looked damp, smell of old buildings and old carpets. If I don’t like the look of the clinic, I’ll go elsewhere. The clinic really looked like an old clinic with the rattan sofa and the ceiling fan and the best word to describe it, it looked really bad. There was a guy dressed very badly sitting on the rattan sofa having a smoke. I was about to left when he asked me why I was there. I immediately answered I need to do filling and he said “OK, go sit inside”. I heard myself saying leave, leave the place but my leg did otherwise. I went in and sat at the supposedly ‘dentist chair’. It was a leather chair really in bad condition, the sink where you normally wash your mouth was broken and the lamp only had one bulb.

So apparently that badly dressed man smoking a cigarette is the dentist. Initially I wanted to do scaling as well but obviously I will not. He checked on my tooth and said he can only do temporary filling. Lucky me…. All the while I was cursing myself for not leaving the clinic. He filled my tooth with the temporary filling and told me to bite on it for at least 30 minutes and that’s it. With that I paid and left the place.

I was like what the hell did I think and what the hell did I just do… Luckily nothing happened and he turned out to be a real dentist. I really cant think of the ‘What ifsssss…..’. When I told hubby about that, he was also so shocked that I did not leave the place… isk isk… I still cannot think why I stayed…

So, moral of the story… think first before you act. Sigh….

Office Issues

2008-10-21T17:21:00.000+08:00

Last week was really a bad week for me. Not in terms of work but one of the staff. She really tried on my patience and being me, I almost lost it. Luckily I managed to contain my anger by keeping busy and maintaining straight face.

Monday – She made me wait for her for 1 ½ hours to go to lunch just for a 2 line email to my boss. We dint plan to eat outside just need to tapau food and come back. If not because I pitied her I would have left her behind. She dint drive that day and here in my office, we have to drive out to get food.

Tuesday - She asked me for a favour ‘to help her get money from my boss’ She made this herbal drink which she says good for whatever la I don’t even care and she managed to persuade my boss to try. I am not sure my boss even knew she’s actually selling the drink. Obviously I am not going to ask money from my boss on her behalf. Am gonna look stupid and I don’t even know about the drink until she asked me for that ‘favour’. The first time she asked I said no, then she tried to persuade me again by calling me on the phone. When I said no again she called me ‘gampang’. Am I even at fault for not entertaining her request?

Wednesday – She asked me for a favour again. This time she wanted me to transfer money into her account because she dint want to keep a lot of cash in hand. That’s a reasonable favour if you don’t ask the details. You know what? She wanted to give me 100 RM1 notes in exchange for the RM100 I am going to remit into her account. Is that even a reasonable favour?

Thursday – I was in the middle of discussions with my colleague and channel people. She came to me to with a query. I told her to come back later as I was in a discussion. She still continued with whatever that she’s saying until my colleague told her to come back later when ‘we are no longer in a discussion’. It shows how she dint respect me as her superior. Tu belum crita pasal kerja. She always told me to go find and look for the documents myself when that is part of her job description.

In the afternoon, I told her to send original executed agreement to one of our Singapore partner. She sent out the ORIGINAL EXECUTED AGREEMENT without a covering letter. When I asked her why she did not prepare the cover letter, she dared to answer that my email din’t say so. Then I asked her again, normally how do you send out agreement, with or without cover letter. She answered with a cover letter. Then why don’t you prepare one or even ask me whether to prepare one? Again she said because my email dint say so. This is not an extraordinary task. This is again within her job description. She knew she has to prepare the letter but now she’s putting the blame back on me because my email did not say so. She told me that she will try to retrieve the document from the courier company.

Friday – She was behaving extra nice to me this morning. I guess she knew that I am a bit pissed off with her but not for long, during breakfast with few other colleagues, she called me ‘Gampang’ again for reason I cant even remember. This time I sort of lost my temper. In a stern voice I told her ‘kot ye pun berpada la apa nak panggil orang pun…..’ she blushed and smiled and straight away change the topic. After breakfast, she called me and tried to explain again or the correct words blamed me again for the reason why she did not prepare the cover letter. What the @@#!? Please leave me alone…..

AAAAAAArrrrraarrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……

Peekaboo

2008-09-09T09:12:00.000+08:00

I played peekaboo a lot with Alaani. She really loved it. She will give me big smiles and make a happy sound. But Haikal hated it when I did it to him… hahhahaha… he’s big to play peekaboo he said.

Last night after breakfasting, I placed her on the sofa and I sat on the floor in front of her. Played and cooed her into talking with me, baby talk of course. I love it when she looked at me and gave me her cute whole body grin.

Suddenly she put her head down and after a while she looked up again and make some sound ‘haaaaaaa’.... Then she did it again. It took me a while to notice that it sounded like the sound I made when I played peekaboo with her. OMG I was laughing and hugging and kissing her and she made the happy giggling sound. Hubby and Haikal came to join but Alaani didn’t do it again. They missed it hahhahahha…

After that hubby went out to smoke at the corridor. Haikal busy watching cartoon. Out of sudden, Alaani called out ‘aaaaayaaahhh’…. Huhuhuhuhu she called out ayah first instead of mama. Haikal too called hubby’s name first than me…. Sob sob… called hubby and told him about Alaani. As expected, he grinned till his ears. Hubby tried to get Alaani to call out his name again and of course she didn’t. it’s just a one time thing.

But was it true or was it my imagination only god knows. Hihihihihihiihihi.

Paeds V ENT

2008-09-02T14:48:00.000+08:00

Haikal has been having fever on and off through out his short 3 years of life now. Been hospitalized twice for high and prolonged fever and because of that, I brought him to see a pediatrician friend of mine working in one of the government hospitals. Her first diagnose was it’s Haikal’s nose and after conducting few tests, she wrote a referral letter for Haikal to go see ENT at the same hospital. True enough, he has what they call it ‘Allergic Rhinitis’ just like me and the doctor prescribed him few medicine and nose spray to reduce the engorging adenoids.

To date, he has been under the observation of both paed and ENT for almost a year. The last time we went for his follow up, both the paed and the ENT suggested that Haikal undergo an operation to remove the adenoids.

ENT – this is the 3rd visits and there is no improvement, which means the medication did not help his condition, it’s just helps not to worsen his adenoids. As such, I would suggest an operation to remove his adenoids and insyaallah after the surgery he will not caught fever as often as now. We are a bit reluctant as he is still so small. The doctor also inform and advice us on the risk and consequences if we decide to prolonged the operation and advice us to reconsider our decision to wait at least until he reaches 4.

Paeds – she asked whether there is any improvement with Haikal’s fever. When I said no, she also suggested that Haikal go for the operation and she asked whether the ENT has advised the same. When we told her that we decided to wait, she asked me whether I have ever noticed that Haikal stops breathing during the night. Not that I am aware of. Then she asked again whether Haikal sits up during his sleep or look for a higher head position. I looked at hubby and laughingly said, all the time. Then she said it’s actually a sign that the oxygen did not reach his head, and the sitting up part during his sleep is actually a reaction for lack of oxygen and that he is gasping for air. OMG, we dint know that, we in fact laughed at him for sitting in his sleep. We felt really bad. The paed once again asked us to reconsider our decision to wait. She said we can’t see the effects now because he is small but it will affect him later if his head continuously lacking of oxygen. She gave us a different medicine this time to try and see if there’s improvement. Said that the medicine is very expensive about RM7.50 per tablet and supposed to be very effective. Luckily it was a government hospital, if not, bankrupt la aku hehhehe….

After the consultation, at night when I woke up to nurse Alaani, I will observe Haikal’s breathing. Once I notice that in between his snoring, he was quiet and then came the sound like he was gasping for air. Is that the sign that the paeds talk about? Was that a moment where Haikal stops breathing. I read up about it but mostly the articles discussed serious issues of cant remember the medical term for it. But none really discussed the initial stage of it.

By this time, Haikal will know when he’s about to have fever and whenever he said, mama haikal rasa macam nak demam, he will actually had the fever. But there’s 2 type of Haikal’s fever:-
Serious – he will start shivering and his temperature will shoot up so high. Then, he will start throwing up and by this time he’s face will be all red and flushed. By this time, he will only lie down looking very helpless.
Not serious – mama tak sedap badan la, but he can still run around making havoc and disturbing me.

Last Saturday, he told me Haikal rasa nak demam la. True enough, he had viral fever. It was bad this time. Once, I scolded him for puking on the carpet. Then, while walking to the bathroom he said prayers “Ya Allah, baikkanlah demam aku. Amin…” I felt so bad for scolding him. I was touched and sad. He looked so small with tears in my eyes.

We took him to the clinic and the doctor showed hubby his engorging tonsils that almost filled up his throat. That’s the reason why he refused to eat or drinks. It hurts him to swallow and I always forced him to eat and drink milk all the while… isk isk.. but he has to eat something right? Or at least take his milk.

The next follow up with the paeds will be end of this month. Our decision is still the same, we will wait until he reaches 4 or at least until I get my confirmation letter.

Working Now

2008-08-25T14:29:00.000+08:00

I have been working for almost 2 months now. What can I say about going back to work? Hmmm… OK but still sad about leaving my 2 kids behind esp my 3mths old (now almost 5mths) baby with the nursery. I have been taking care of Alaani practically alone with my own 2 hands and frankly my hands are full with Haikal’s antiques. Am always at the top of my voice and my patience has been running thin. So I guess, back to work is actually a good thing.

When I first told Haikal that I will start working again, he cried so hard. Then he started asking me questions, if I go to work, who’s going to take care of him. What will happen to him if I go to work etc etc… Being emotional myself, I cried too. In fact harder than him hehhehehe… called hubby and he laughed at us. Told me not to tell him in a sad way. Try different approach. Initially, Haikal wont let me go back to work, in fact every time I mentioned about working, he will start to cry. But eventually, with hubby’s help, with series of negotiations he accepted the fact provided that I buy toys/dvds for him. Settled with a bribe hahhahahha… That’s not good actually but at least he’s not unnecessarily stressed. As for Alaani, she’s too small to notice and I guess she’ll adjust faster than Haikal.

But it’s me who has to adjust to the new arrangement more than them. I am now a working woman, a wife, a mother and I still have to do all the house works. It’s tiring but I guess I will have to adjust.

So now in the morning, no more going back to sleep after Subuh prayer. I will send Alaani to nursery and hubby will send Haikal later. The journey to office will take me about an hour (with normal traffic) and once I was stuck in the jam for 2 hours. Almost cried in the car huhuhuh….

I will try to leave office as early as I can. Journey for about an hour then picked the kids up from nursery. Alaani adjusted well but she will merajuk if I came back late. Haikal, it changes everyday. Sometimes, he wants we to come back early and sometimes he will scold me for coming back early. Isk isk… That usually happened if his friends are still around and they were in the middle of something.

Usually we reached home around 715-730pm. By this time, Alaani will start showing her tantrums. Sometimes I cant even put her down to change clothes. Start nursing her and play with her a little while. Asked Haikal for his daily activities and most of time fighting to watch TV programmes hahhahah… wait for hubby to come back, start cooking. If Alaani, asleep, then can cook early but that’s not usually the case.

We normally had dinner between 1000-1030. I know a bit late but what to do. After dinner, tidy up, kemas2, pack kids stuff to bring to nursery, try to give as much attention to Haikal as possible, watch TV then sleep. I know and I realized that I have given less attention to Haikal and always loosing my patience with him. Haikal on his ends, always crying and scold us if we did not meet his wants. He has become very insistent and persistent and has been driving us crazy. Am thinking of a way to change this. Maybe we have to change before we can change him…. Any tips, please?

That’s my daily routine now. Luckily I did all the washing and ironing during the weekend.
Damn tiring… Itupun belum masuk crita pasal office… isk isk…
