Happy birthday husband!

hari ini birthday cinta hati saya yang ke 35. Happy birthday husband!

Hidup Bermadu

Mommy : I read an article dalam paper, cakap pasal tonsilitis operation. Dia kata removing tonsil won't affect your ability to screen bad things to enter your body.

Daddy : Ooo ye ker?

Mommy : They said, tonsil tu works only masa first year of life. So I guess, boleh la kot buat op tu kat Afiq.

Daddy : Talking about that, I bought some honey today. Get him to eat daily, and see whether boleh improve tak condition. Btw, awak tahu tak camana nak tau madu tu asli?

Mommy : Ntah, I don't know.

Daddy : Orang cakap, kalau nak tau madu tu asli, bawak balik rumah pastu bini marah, asli la madu tuh.

Mommy : Sabar jek (sambil gelak)

Daddy : Tu UAI la cakap..

CIS!

ps : Tajuk mencari publisiti dan kontroversi!

Never Procrastinate.. Because Your Kids Learn! :)

Husband : I want to go & send the car for a wash. It's dirty

Afiq : Daddy, before this, i asked you, daddy the car is dirty, when are you going to send the car for a wash? you said tomorrow. Then when tomorrow, i asked again, then you said tomorrow. So, today you send the car? (soklan innocent gila..)

Husband : (wa kena lagi beb)

Happy Birthday to Afiq, Adin and Aidin's Daddy

sudah lambat to put up this post..

Happy Birthday to my OH. birthday sehari lepas aidin. sudah 34 tahun, bermakna semakin hampir dengan kematian.

Semoga dikurniakan dengan umur yang berkat, doa yang mustajab, hajat yang tertunai, kesihatan yang berterusan, hutang yang terbayar serta keselamatan dan kejayaan di dunia dan di akhirat nanti.

Tak kira la awak dah tua ke, muda lagi ke, you still own my heart. ewwahhhhh.

Happy birthday dearest. Love ya!

Balloon Sinuplasty

live update from prince court medical centre.

Kali ni, OH pulak warded. panjanggg kisahnya.

GP refer to respiratory specialist, after OH complained of prolong coughing. buat bronchoscope to check the lung, alhamdulillah, tak ada apa-apa. batuk pun kurang.

tapi lepas tuh, selsema pulak menjadi-jadi, sampai OH bila buang hingus (sorry ye kalau ada yang tengah makan!!) sakit kepala yang teramat-amat.

respiratory specialist refer pulak ke ENT. buat CT scan segala, n tengok-tengok, the underlying cause was chronic sinusitis. banyak sangat fluid ada kat pipi.

so, dr recommend to undergo ballon sinuplasty procedure. Balloon Sinuplasty (BSP) uses a small, flexible, balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways and facilitate drainage of the mucus that builds up in patients suffering from chronic sinusitis. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it restructures and widens the walls of the sinus passageway while maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining. it involves no cutting and no removal of bone and tissue.

he didn't allow me to take AL to teman him in the ward. macho kunun! so, lepas office hours tadi, terus rush ke hospital to check on him. sampai-sampai ward jek, tgk-tgk masih tido. kul 5 lebih baru sedar.

he said, he can breath muchh better. alhamdulillah. now sekarang nih, OH sibuk suruh saya pulak mintak referral letter suruh check my sinusitis. hmm. nengok la cemana.

harapnya with this procedure, he'll feel much better. kesian dok pssrt.. pssrtt.. kat umah.

rizal update

Bersiaran langsung dari prince court medical centre. sedang menunggu husband sedar dari sedation. nampak he's in a very deep sleep.

he actually dok batuk-batuk for the past one month. after medication, ada la improve sikit, tapi tak recover 100%. masa xray last 3 weeks, there're white patches in his lung, which dr suspected bronchitis. so dr decided to check his lung, and take samples for lab test. harapnya everything is A okay.

ok. he's now awake. alhamdulillah!

rizal - short update

My OH warded. sebab esok kena go through minor procedure check lung. he has been coughing for almost a month. after amek medication adalah kurang, tapi tak baik full. (pardon me for my bahasa)

hope everything is all right. amin

:: malu-malu pengantin ::

my cousin, linie will be getting married in.... 2 hours and 53 mins. gosh, how time flies! rasa cam baru semalam jek she stayed in my room at mak's place, dok gossip2 meluah perasaan, and today, tadaaaa.. SHE'S THE BRIDE. (penulis lupa diri seketika bahawa dia sudah pun berkahwin 8 tahun lalu, dan mempunyai 4 orang anak)

i'm pretty sure her house sure tengah jam packed dengan lots of people. but i'm still at home, as all my 3 surviving kids are asleep. plus, i don't think it's a good idea to let afiq and adib wandering around her house at this particular moment. takut nanti, ada pelamin tak serupa pelamin.

cakap pasal kenduri kawen, teringat zaman sendiri kawen 8 tahun lepas. (blush)

kenduri saya simple jek. tapi padat dengan saudara mara (almaklumla, omak den oghang nogoghi, memang dah stail eh cam tuh kalau kendughi kawen!). we were solemnized after isyak, dengan abah menjadi wali.

i have no idea what's happening outside of my room aka bilik pengantin. i was busy di makeup and the room was filled with warm feeling and laughter with dear friends, yaya, su, my cousin ayu, lela, etc) senyum2 amek gambar with my cousins who were at that time, masih comel2 belaka, and they were my flower girls. tiba2, ateh panggil cakap, DAH SELESAI DAH.

pengantin aka moi pun,"HAH?"

terus semua2 gelabah amek place masing2. tak berkesempatan pun nak tengok cemana OH menggigil lafaz akad. (tapi ai know u terer, sekali lafaz settle).

after selesai nikah semua, kitorang ada majis berarak lilin. nih ikut tradisi nenek (wan) side mak. buat saje, mengikutkan kehendak wan tersayang. wan yang uruskan segala benda, pengantin cuma bawak badan kena arak keliling jalan saja. gayat hokay.

8 tahun dah berlalu..

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY OH.

cerita 31 mei 2003..

:: sweet surprise ::

minda refreshed after a week get away to gold coast, oz.

yep, gold coast lagik. thanks to PIL yang sponsor the trip. alhamdulillah.

anak² enjoy, mak bapak pun pokai enjoy jugak. :) trip macam orang lain yang pergi gold coast jugak. pergi visit seaworld and movieworld. cuma ada addition sikit. (kalau ada time, nanti i story mory in detail sikit la pasal tempat² kitorang pergi in a more proper entry.) pergi carara market and fish traders' market. kata FIL orang terengganu, tak dapat ikang tak dapat jack! jumpa fish traders' yang baru naik dari laut (amek!), siap jual seafood atas bot lagi. pergh sangat layan. (serius aku tak nak buat medical check up dalam masa 2-3 minggu nih). melayan ketam sebesar muka yang agak tembun comel ini. kena pulak combo udang sebesar² penampar tangan aidin. memang best. pastu jumpa pulak kepala ikan salmon besar gabak yang super cheap (read : AUD 3) ~ selamat ditransform jadi gulai dan sup ikan. perghhhhhhh. makan bertambah.

* note - kami tinggal di fully equip apartment. lebih murah kalau travel in big group.

tapi yang saya nak share hari nih sebenarnya bukan cerita trip gold coast.......

tapi cerita sweet yang terjadi masa hari balik KL.

:D (senyum sampai ke telinga)

Thank you for everything, and happy father's day!

:: jiwang karat ::

oh 2 minggu, cepatla berlalu..

:: 7th anniversary ::

it's our 7th wedding anniversary today. syukur Allah, for letting us to enjoy every single beautiful thing in life together.

Ya Allah, ya Tuhanku,
Kau limpahilah kami kebahagiaan dan kebaikan dunia dan akhirat,
Rahmatilah hidup kami,
berkatilah hidup kami,
temukanlah kami kembali di syurga.

Ya Allah, ya Tuhanku,
Kau jadikanlah kami ibu bapa yang sempurna,
untuk zuriat yan telah Kau amanahkan kepada kami,
bimbinglah kami ya Allah,
dalam membentuk khalifah-khalifahMu di muka bumi ini.

Amin..

Husband dearie,

i may not say this as often as i should,

wo ai ni

:: simple update ::

5 hari lagi, and i'll start working again. dan routine biasa selepas pantang and sebelum kerja is to check the wardrobe for baju2 yang masih muat.. selongkar shoe rack check kasut ok lagi ke tidak, and selalunyyyaaa kena beli baru, sebab dah 1 tahun x pakai kasut, surely the kasut will brittle to bits and tersgt la tidak presentable utk ke office.

i haven't hit the weighing scale yet. rasanya dah turun 1 kg, tapi tuh mungkin impian semata-mata. berserah & tawakkal jek. :)

yesterday, OH took leave and we gave a visit to the school that i intended to send my kids to. it was my kindy before, and i am a firm believer that, that kindy has given me a good head start in my schooling years, and i want my children to benefit from that too. so insya Allah, if everything goes according to plan, the kids will hit the school ground early next year, insya Allah.

btw, OH has asked me, whether i wanted to experience the life of an expatriate. ntah a bang oiiiiii. i'm sucha greedy person, that i want all. i don't want to take unpaid leave, but at the same time, i want the kids to be near to their father. cemana???

sampai bila la nak kena dilema cam gini.

:: berjersey merah ke old trafford.. eh bukit jalil.. ;) ::

i was on leave yesterday. unplanned.

it all started on sunday. kita salahkan surat khabar. kerana surat khabar mengkhabarkan bahawa perlawanan MU vs Msia akan diadakan semula pada hari isnin, 8.45 pm.

suamiku - hardcore fan MU. agaknya kalau ada exam sejarah MU, confirm dapat 4.0 flat. serius. he missed the saturday match, thanx to working abroad. he arrived in kl late, in fact after the match is over. so, when the oppportunity arises, he definitely gonna wade through, to make sure he is in the stadium, cheering for his team and Msia of course.

it was a brief discussion between him and me in the car, late sunday night after giving a ride to my lil bro in law back to college. he really wanted to bring me there and watch the match with him.

he got the tix on monday, during lunch hour, and there we go. set off to the match. took the lrt, instead of driving and arrived in BJ just in time.

it was a so-so game in my opinion. but according to my friends, the second match is far better than the first.

i didn't enjoy any minute of the first half, thanks to the smokers around me. heylo, 45 minute with a max of 5 mins smoking free, i'm sure i've inhale enough nicotine that night. lepas first half, we got the opportunity to switch place, and alhamdulillah it gets better, both surrounding and match. not much of good tries, perhaps due to players arrangement by both team. MU was with their second best while Msia was with their first team during the first half, and vice versa on the second half. not much of a balance there.

good tries from msia only came in during the last 3-4 mins of the match. sedey. but i applaud Msia's goalkeeper. he has done a beautiful job that night. he didn't crack under pressure and i believe he has good future ahead him. insya Allah.

we left the game just in time before the finishing whistle blew off to ctach the first train back to KL. arrived home at midnight (macam cinderella plak, tapi versi pakai jersey merah. serius aku rasa menyerlah gila malam tuh) gather both afiq and adib at mom's place and head home. makan², mandi² and solat, lepas tuh terus doze off. serius pagi esok tuh mata wa talak boleh buka. terus OH ngan i ber'mesyuwarah' dan mengumumkan hari selasa tuh adalah public hols untuk kami. haha. kunun² nak sambung tido after subuh, but afiq and adib decided that the day has started, dragging both of half awake us out. adeh.

tuesday was spent with dear boys at Kidz-Sport in OU. puas diorang main. it has been a while sinve the last time i brought them to the gym. malam siap.. mengigau². :D

okay la kengkawan. take good care. salam.

:: a week of no entry ::

almost a week without an entry, is so not me. ;p blogger tegar la katakan. but i really didn't have anytime to spare to scribble a word or two (well, i did yesterday, but this bl**dy wireless broadband tetiba disconnected - which i tak perasan, and i lost my entry. dang!)

where've i been? u may ask. no where exactly, just have been busy (a little) with work and my boys. alhamdulillah, 3 weeks without OH has been okay (though not A okay all the time. ada gak masa i K.O) adalah sekali sekala adib mengigau panggil daddy. but all in all, their 'rindu-ness' to their daddy are manageable, tho when we skyped, the kidos will start to kiss their daddy on the screen.

work has become a little bit interesting lately, with new challenges being thrown to the team. a group of 4 'beginner modellers' are requested to produce a flood risk map within 6 months time frame - which involves the very much hated area of engineering - hydrology and the complicated math equations of hydraulics. (ngeri pikir sasaran kerja tahun nih. mampukah?) so, jangan ingat keja gomen nih senang yek kawan2. we too have our fair share of hectic schedule and headaches.

anyway, blogging bout work, can never be interesting. don't u think? ngee.

owh, on the other note, i notice it has been at least a month since i last update my so called food blog. yeah, dapur rumah agak kurang berjerebu sebab ketiadaan food tester di rumah aka OH. i only cook simple, extremely simple food, and that is mainly for my kids. me? tak de appetite langsung nak makan, and as a result, i lost quite a significant nos of kg within a period of 5-6 weeks. kinda feel good, but worried at the same time. am i sick or what?

OH will be back in 2 days time, and has requested me to cook MALAY food. and setelah otak ini agak lama berkarat memikirkan menu, saya ingin memohon jasa baik tuan/[uan untuk mengemukakan sebarang cadangan menu yang boleh saya sediakan untuk suami tercinta pada hari sabtu ini. ;p

okay la readers. mata dah ngantuk sbnrnya tapi susah gila nak lelap. anak teruna 2 orang tuh dah selamat tido dr maghrib lagi tadi. boring pulak rasa bila afiq n adib dah tido.

take care all. good nite. muahs!

ps - ayin, i myself is no different from u. hardly spend quality time on sejadah especially subuh. has always been in a rush. have to improve myself on that.

:: dan dia terbang lagi ::

it has been a while since i last update this blog. have been pretty busy and occupied. OH is back (only for a week! hisyh!) and he's now in the plane flying back to russia for three weeks. adoi. bosan!

anyway, lil bro's wedding reception dah pun selesai. ada hiccups here and there, and am happy for it to be over. penat oo.

gambar takde pun dalam my camera. harap my bro to upload from his.

okay la. mulut sakit nak cakap bebanyak (apa kaitan ntah ngan tangan yang menaip). take care readers. salam.

:: Daddy.. Lang ::

budak kecik yang menangis pagi tadi..

dia cakap, "daddy... lang" (daddy hilang)

hati ibu mana yang tak tersentuh kalau tengok anak dia yang dah 3 nights in row nangis cari daddy dalam tido?

OH, please tell me what should i do!!

:: phase 1 has begin ::

phase 1 has begin.

send my OH off this morning at KL sentral. he'll be in russia for the next 10 days, and be back for my bro's wedding. he'll be mob to russia effectively in july.

so here i am, standing on my own, looking after two kids. no tears are flowing, no point to grief. he'll go anyway. duty's call.

i haven't firmed up my decision yet. hope to see clearer on what transpire next.

so far, the boys are behaving well, except adib who at times, look a lil bit lost. hopefully they'll cooperate and cope well, for they are my pillar of strength too.

i'm trying to portray only the positive things now. has planned with office colleague for an evening of work out to burn the stubborn, excessive fat. :P (sambil hendak mengguna sepenuhnya kasut sukan baru itu. hihi)

kay all, take care. muahs!

ps #1~ dear OH, i know u'll be reading this. adib mengamuk tadi sebab dia nak main dia nyer thomas and james yang i tinggalkan kat umah. dia pegi susun bomba kecik tuh back to back and keep on saying 'ten' (train). bila bomba tuh moved apart, dia marah. he's one creative boy for sure. he also dah recognize one more car - 'go carts'

ps #2~ afiq dah pandai sebut 'hurry up'. guess how he pronounced it? 'YAP' dapat dari cd thomas this evening. btw, i tak sempat duduk lagi, dib² cakap kat i 'go car'. adeh!

:: future ~ hazy ::

i normally look forward for weekend to come.

but not this time.

starting monday, OH will start his 11-days journey to russia (part 1) before he finally settle down in russia in july till march next year. i'm trying to do the reasoning, hence trying to portray ONLY the positive things to keep my spirit up. i'm trying to console myself that i could do lots of things without him, things that i can hardly do when he's around. i'll try to take this opportunity to make way for a better bonding time with my kids. gagagaga. will i survive?

what will transpire next is pretty hazy. haven't got any clues on career prospect that is hindering me from following him immediately. if anything falls in place, as per proposal, insya Allah, i'll be united with him in november the earliest. i hope my boys will cope well with the situation.

anyway, lil' bro will get married in 2 weeks time. perhaps next week, once OH departed to russia, i'll be able to start to help mom to do all the hantaran and door gifts. currently, i'm all tied out to lend a helping hand to mom. sorry mak!

guess, this is the way that Allah thinks is best for me, to make me become a better mother. it's time to get fit as well, as i'll be alone in being on toes running after my active boys.

please pray that i'll be strong readers. please pray that Allah will give nothing but only the best for all of us.

:: happy sunday, empty monday ::

semalam makan aiskrim ngan TOH, and the boys @ the curve.

we're both a fan of new zealand's natural ice creams, so we head for one yesterday. despite being full, after a lovely lunch of simple nasi goreng and lam mee, we enjoyed the treats a lot. i just love the berri-ness of boysenberry dream and TOH takde lain - cookies and cream.

orang kata, mana tak tumpahnya kuah kalau tak ke nasi. memangla budak kecik 2 orang tuh suka gila makan aiskrim.

semalam, after the treat, we asked afiq:-

mommy : tadi afiq makan apa?
afiq : kim.. (read : aiskrim)
mommy : sedap tak?
afiq : dap..

and this morning, i tanya lagi:-
mommy : semalam afiq makan apa?
afiq : kim.. dap..

tak sempat tanya sedap dah jawab. ngehngeh.

sangat chumil!

owh, one more thing, we attended my cousin's birthday bash yesterday evening. she's 10 by the way. (i'm the eldest grandchild, so i ada banyak sepupu sepapat yag masih muda belia). afiq and adib enjoyed the bash so much. dok kutip gula² dari balang, and bagi kat orang. sangat suka tengok orang nyanyi lagu birthday (macam dah besar sangat).

suka bila tengok anak happy.

tapi hari nih sedih banget. laki aku merantau lagi, dan makan weekend pulak tuh. udah lerr weekend this week panjang. huhu. sgt bengkek dan sedih. dah la last minit trip, terpaksa cancel a month long anticipated holiday pulak tuh. he'd better make it up.

dah la, malas nak pikir.

take care all. bye.
