Lepas geram...

As you all know...we have yet to receive the key to our new house walaupun dah berkurun menunggu and the house is considered 100% completed. Tapi setakat ni boleh tengok jelah, blom boleh masuk. Seksa jiwa raga oii...

Korang yg dah ada rumah sendiri sure tau camana perasaan nak masuk umah baru kan ? Survey barang lah compare hargalah, pantang dengar sale or warehouse brg rumah laju jek...kan ? Angan2 tak yah citer ah...

Kitorang pun sama camtu...cuma setelah penat berangan bertahun2 lamanya...nak beli itu nak pasang ini tapi sampai sudah tak boleh beli sbb rumah x siap2, walaupun bajet dah ada. ...aku rasa org kedai pun dah kenal muka aku ngan Man, masuk, belek, ushar..pastu blah...sedih tau !!

Tetiba, last Saturday, tak tau lah mana hangin mari...aku lalu depan kedai letrik tu lagi, pastu tetiba terasa nak belikan phone cordless kat MIL sbb dia susah nak jln angkat phone kat depan. Murah gila, cordless Panas0nic yg dua bijik. So satu letak depan, satu dlm bilik mak la. Menantu yg prihatin la katakan hahaha sempat lagi tuh...

Pastu adala org tu saja naik level atas ushar TV buat kali yg ke xxxnyer hehehe tetiba jek dia kata 'Yang kita beli TV nak ? Beli terus.' Aku cam orang mamai main redah jawab 'Ok, bolehla'...Dalam 2 jam lebih kitorang kat sana, aku pun naik sheikh sama ngan Man. Ok yang ni ye, mmm yang tu kot, ambik yang ni skali...

Balik rumah masuk bilik pastu macam gelak2 ngan Man cam tak caya tak we spend that much in just 2 hours. Tapi x terasa sgt sebab dah laaaamaaaaaaaaaaa aku menyimpan untuk saat2 itu. Dalam ayat jiwang 'Berapa lama lagi harus ku tunggu....'. Man punya 2, aku punya 4 hehe best best. Skarang sila pikir mana mau taruk itu barang ye...padan muka haku.

Budak2 ni pantang aku angkat kamera, laju jek

Panas0nic Plasma 42'

Panas0nic Home Theatre Set
Panas0nic Microwave (hahaha beli gak tapi yg waayy cheaper)
Kenwo0d Mixer (4 in 1 tp aku blom godek lagi)
Kenwo0d Toaster 4pcs (Adan request)
Electr0lux 4 burner Hob (tinggal kat kedai dulu)

Ada sesape nak beli camera 8.1megapix? Lumix LS80 anyone ?? Going cheap cheap

Gambar2 adalah ihsan kamera free tp x de memory card hampeh, pakai internal jek. Aku soh deliver mlm2 sikit sbb ada guest tetiba depa deliver masa adik Ezzah (Inah, Hubby and mak Ezz) sampai, kesian depa x selesa, umah bersepah ngan kotak bagai. Dd, free gift extra lom claim, ptg ni baru nak pi...hahaha akan ku blackmailkan mamat itu.

Feeling Weepy

I'm browsing thru my pix collection , looking at them kids, how time flies when you're enjoying it, kan ?.. until I saw a picture that was taken the previous nite...tetiba rasa sedih, not really, mixed feeling is more likely...

My little boy will always have a special place in my heart bukan sbb dia the only boy tapi because of all the things that he went thru right from the moment he came into the world. He went thru a lot for the past 6 years and looking at him today...cheeky, fidgety, kerempeng, manja and all, made me a little bit...i don't know...sedih happy worried sumer ada...Not that I'm treating my children differently but I have to admit that I do have soft spot for this boy tho there are times that I feel like tying him to the wall for hitting his sisters and many more. Boys will be boys

I was on GA when he was delivered thru emergency c-sec (his heart suddenly weakening and almost stop beating). I don't get to see him until few days later. 2 days in incubator, he was diagnosed with TOF and they operated him successfully. I think I met Eton Chandra when he was in NICU. He started his journey this way....

5 days old

and survived. Here captured in his 1st passport photo when he was about 6months. That's his 1st red shirt.

Kantoi nampak tgn aku tgh pegang hehe

He caught a chronic bronchopneumonia rightaway. He did a good job in surviving few ordeals in between. I think the worst when I was in S'pore (luckily) in 2004, auditing ArrHatchBeeBank. He was not well when I left. I don't feel good when hubby said that he's not getting better. I rushed back and felt like killing everyone in the house for taking things easily. How cruel of them to let him lying there breathless just to avoid him being admitted. I came thru the door, have one look at him, drop my knapsack, grab him and ask hubby to drive to the hospital. I was weeping and clenching my teeth all the way. I think I have the right to feel that way at that time.

In the emergency unit, I was scolded right and left by the Dr and nurses for failing to admit him earlier, I felt like screaming at them. I mean, I was away doing my job, I came back based on my instinct only to find him in that almost vege-state, so stop the blaming game, do your job and treat my son before I open my not-so-sopan mouth. Guess what, he was surviving with only 60% oxygen level !! He was immediately put in high-dependency ward right behind nurse station, under 24hrs oxygen supply thru mask, every 2,3 hours of neb and very close monitoring, every single food and drink intake were measured, even 2,3 pieces of kokokrunch will be put on chart. Open the mask pop the cereal, munch munch, breathless, put back the mask, and it goes on and on. He was injected with few type of drugs as much as 8-10ml at one go. He was treated with the strongest antibiotic. I cried everytime he cried, when he's asleep, I cried even louder. He bounced back in just 6 days. That's the worst, others just a normal combo of fever, cough + phlegm. APSH is like our 2nd house.

I'm cool now but I still don't take things easily when he complains about feeling tight at the chest. But then, I'm not the type who gonna put him on strict this-thing-cannot-that-thing-cannot, we do let him have some sundae, few sips of ice-blended. I don't stop him from playing too long in the water coz he loves water soooooooo much. What I did was to monitor his breathing, that's all. Even his medication is not on schedule, come tight chest, aero-chamber will be in action.

Last Monday, I was on 1/2 day leave to buy new stuffs for him. When I snapped this pic while he was trying his uniform, I can't help but felt so proud for my wafer-thin-son who waded thru strongly from day 1. I miss his dimpled-smile every single day. I'm proud of you son. Ibu and Babah love you so much. Dah besar dah anak ibu, but don't grow too fast dear...

Baru prasan x beli belt lagi hehe

Alhamdulillah, syukur tak terhingga atas pemberianMu ini.

Note : Adan will attend his orientation day on 15Nov, that's why i bought the uniform super early.

Yay Yay exam dah abisss..

Yippeee yippee..

Bagi pihak Hanis, nak bersokaria sbb final exam dah abis ye. Ceh !! over plak ibu dia mcm la anak amek SPM...exam darjah 2 jek tapi harusla kena selebret kan...

Dah ibunya pun sama study mati2 sampai tergolek2 kat katil. Ingat senangke nak recall sbb2 dibolehkan tayammum selain sbb xde air. Sapa terer sila jwb on the spot, haipp2.. jgn tanya Incik google hehehe mcm la ada org nak jwb :p

Nak kasik semangat time dia baca buku & buat latihan, ibu nan mithali ni bergelut jgk kat sebelah study Kite Runner...gila babas lama, pestime aku baca buku bersambung sampai b'bulan2..sungguhlah tidak 'aku'...selalu 1 buku 2 ari dh khatam sodaqallahul'azim...

So, Along dah besar2 nanti jgn lupa baca blog ibu, silalah kenang jasa ibu ni...klu rasa cam terharu lebih sikit, bawak la ibu gi jenjalan mana2 tapi haruslah belah2 Europe je tau...

Here comes the weekend and another round horray yippeee yay for Along...luv you

** Byk entry tadek gambar sbb digicam ngan vidcam gi holiday kat Europe, tuan dia x ikut

Melam1ne : List from MOH

Do check on daily basis from Fo0d Safety & Quality Division of M0H for list of items not in compliance with melam1ne level allowed.

The document is very helpful because they provided the picture coz we hardly catch the name of certain items but rely more on the packaging.

As of today, here is the list (Not in compliance items only)

But, I have some reservation on the method used by M0H as most of the item tested are based on reports by other countries. Meaning they will only test items which are reported as not compliance by other countries or based on SMSes that were flying around. Why can't they test all possible items, start with the most popular 1st and gradually move to cover the whole range. Throughout the time, the test should not be stopped at melamine but for other dangerous substance as well, they know better la kan. Not to underestimate the effort of the people at their labs who I'm sure are working day and night but maybe it should be more systematic and continuously enhanced. Don't do it the malaysian-way, masa org kecoh kita pon kecoh havoc, pastu..senyap, nanti jadi lagi...

And I think most of the baby formula were not tested locally but cleared because of the warranty provided by the companies. Is that enuff ?

It scared the sh*it out of me when they announced that Hanis' fav rusk, Baby B1tes and my favorite gula-gula udang merah (with edible paper tuh) will be tested. Luckily, it came out clean. fuhh...she gobbled down that stuffs like a kebulur kid when she was a toddler. Tonnes of it

BTW , I love Kh0ng Guan's Cream Chocolate biscuit when I was in boarding school arrgh should go n check my kidney as it's not in compliance.

For those yang beli biskut timbang from hypermarts, stop the buying ye coz I'm pretty sure it's from KG.

Errk Part II

Hahha...someone who is not reading my blog said that I MADE UP the number, I'm beauty conscious ala2 vain gitu until they saw 58 displayed on the scales. I told you, my concerns are real...(they don't see me beyond my gedobos baju kurung and the fact that I've stopped wearing casual 4 quite sometimes)

Why am I so worried about the extra kg ??

Because I'm money conscious

I have to BUY new stock of baju kurung and formal wear to office.
I have to BUY new jeans and blouse and shirts for casual wear.
I even have to BUY new sets of b*a and g-st*ings, it's not cheap ok.
I have to BUY a new wardrobe to put the new stuffs in as I don't think I will throw away the old one

So, why should I waste my limited moolah to buy stuffs that I already have but can't fint into.

Another thing is, I have a TOURNAMENT in few weeks time (Dd, ko join tak ? kat UKM). If I don't get to my normal usual self, I'll be damn. Paling takut kena buli ngan coach !! Huhu. This event cuma once a year so, I would normally plump up myself after the tournament only to kelam-kabut in getting fit before it convenes again next year. Cuma this year tahap plump tu terlebih sudah...

As you know, crash diet is dangerous and it won't work on me. My body can read the hungry pangs and slows down my metabolisme level. I need carbo as I'm still breasfeeding. So I'll stick to my usual my lime, less sugar and less carbo diet. Need to stock up the usual foodstuffs. No more nasik lemak lauk ayam/paru and teh ais in the morning. Itu DAILY BREAKFAST aku yek (dlm hati..patutla). To geng breakfast, don't worry..lunch as usual hehe

Started on Monday and by now I'm down to 56. That's normal, it's all water not the fat yet. 3-5kg of stubborn fat in 3 weeks sounds impossible but if coupled with training session..boleh la kot, I've been doing this for 7 years...cumanya, bila masa aku nak turun training nih ? Team manager dh email soh turun dah dpt time off pun..

The most important thing, drink A LOT OF WATER, I mean A LOT...to flush. Simple thing yet so hard...Coz I don't drink plain water (except during confinement).

Errk..

3 months ago....

I tipped the scales at 48kg




Today...

It sudennly went to 58kg...

Mmm...rosak agaknya penimbang ni... lalalalala.....btw I'm not vain

100% Guaranteed

It's not that I have deposit of more than 60k in my bank accounts..

But the announcement that ALL DEPOSITS will be fully guaranteed till Dec 2010 is definitely a good news to me. Looking at the current situation, this is very much a pre-emptive measure. Maybe to stop depositors from moving out their deposit from M'sian bank into Aussie one after their regulator announced the same measure earlier. S'pore also announced the same blanket guarantee.

Deposit insurance is something that you HAVE to know. You can always refer to PIDM's website, they have calculators, quiz and all. or you can ask me if you want, last resort la kan ? hikhik

BEWARE !! Shuzzzz Ahead

These boxes have played their role as my footrest, placed under my workstation. Lately, I noticed that it has started to occupy quite serious number of square feet because I kept on hitting it with my roaming legs...ouch !

It is also a mess whenever I need to find a pair to match with my baju kurung-of-the-day. Vincci box with Sach sandal inside while my Jimmy Choo Scholl boxes are empty. So, quite a task for me to rummage whenever I have an important meeting to attend or whenever I feel like dressing up.

Last year I saw a shoe in a clear box somewhere and I think it's genius until I saw the $$ tag. 1setan is selling at rm49 PER BOX. Aiyoh...die la, that kind of box pun ridiculously priced. Apada...terus terbantut niat murni aku.

But then, after the latest incident where I hit the boxes and all of it went rumbling and shoes scattered under my table, I need to do something. Me being the cheapskate creative mind...bought another version of clear box, very very the cheap...tadaaaaaa...kotak hantaran at rm2.40 per box. I saved RM699 for 15 boxes..err I think I need another 4 or 5 for my comfy sandals at home. Don't forget the ventilation ye..shoe need to breathe oso. Just punch a few holes on the sides.

Kata org it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.

Oopppss ooppss..by releasing this pix, I can foresee that my 'sponsorship' for shoe-pping will be reduced further. Biasa la, kekunun very mithali wifey, nak beli apa2 calling2 dulu. Klu tukang sponsor approve swipe kad emas, klu sendrik munya bajet swipe kad koning haha. Biasanya bajet aku klu beli kasut gedix2 yg kat vincc1, n0se.

Tapi kan dlm byk2..yang ini jugak aku sayang & lenjan dengan jayanya...rasanya dh dkt 5 tahun kot selipar jepun bata aku ni...I loike...

Note : Aku ada byk kasut tapi yang peliknya aku TAKDE color yang paling common, yang paling senang match ngan mana2 baju...cream / offwhite. Nape ek ? Mmm..Dd..your PEDAL is WORKing fine kan ? (Ayat cryptic tuh, sila decrypt ye..)

Entry Raya 2008

Mengambil keberkatan hari Jumaat ni, aku upload gambor raya versi 2008. Tahun ni turn raya kat Gombak with my in-law. We've gone pink this year...together 'Awwww....'

Baju ku tidaklah se'pink' mana sbb itu jelah yg boleh sambar last minute & matchy match ngan org lain. Baju asal dh bwk pi opis hehe aci ke gitu ?

No picture taken while visiting others, it's been like that for years so it feels a bit awkward to display the paparzzi-ness of me hiks..

Tak banyak gambar dan tak byk acara. Hopefully next raya, I'll be able to change and get back whatever that has been missing from my raya. I want my kids to have a proper and meaningful raya routine for them to cherish.

I'll load more once I get other pix from my BIL's camera and TGIF. Tonite we'll be at KL1A to send my SIL off to start her Europe tour. Sure ada askar kecik yang merajuk kena tinggal ngan Aciq kesayangan. psst psst tolong survey price LV kat France yek..katanya 30% cheaper hahaha

It took me 3 DAYS...

...to make these..

1st batch ada yolk, pastu dh x koser..

Inti org malas, oven Pens0nic ku yg berkarat

DAY 1 :
To think : Should I, should I not commit suicide by baking tat nenas. In the end I said to myself, why not and off to Bake w Yen to buy stuffs. Day 1 gone with the wind coz I'm juz too lazy

DAY 2 :

To gentel the inti, versi orang malas, ready made. I reheated and added more cengkih and kayu manis. Get bibik to do it..lalalalala. Me terpengsan while nursing Hannah only to wake up for sahur. Day 2 gone.

DAY 3 :

Measured all ingredients needed, mixed butter & sugar when Hannah decided that she needs my boobies. Again...as expected, me gone, wake up for sahur. Kelamkabut kemas meja, nak makan...abis sahur around 4am me asked bibik to setup the table again. Mana bley delay dah, barang dh campur2...baru jek masuk tepung Hannah wailed. Waduhhh...so me the mighty baker uli adunan with only 1 hand sambil mendokong itu budak. Time nak picit kena la pujuk letak dia sebelah. Aku picit 3 row dia whacked 2 row. Sabar je lah...by 6am, cannot tahan oredi. Tricked Hannah to take shower tukar baju and I gave her bowl, scoop and flour for her to bake her own. Baru la dia buat hal sendiri, aku tak bagi dia awal2 sbb takut berkecah, lopa la plak..aku kan ada bibik hahaha. By 7am, I'm done...shower...get dress...off to office

Kejadian ni berlaku lebih kurang seminggu sebelum raya. Maybe korang t'tanya2, bibik tak tolong ke ? oooo...dia ni klu after 10pm, jadik zombie kampung pisang. I'd rather do it myself than having someone who bagi pisau bila aku mintak sudu hehehe
