Weirdo Colleagues..

I kinda dislike (nak tulis HATE tapi macam sangat mean) the person who sit next to my cubicle.
- She doesn't speak,instead she yelled when she meant to speak..
- She loves smashing the telephone, Duhh... Like she is the only one who gets phone calls from service outlets..
- And the worst part is, she LOVES peeping thru my desktop, menyibuk nak tengok my non-related-to-work emails..
- And some more, she tries SO hard to listen to everyones conversation..

I so hate her. Why I always happen to sit which someone that has a very weird behavior? last time was the one that having a hygien issues. Serious, i bet you can't stand his BO. and did i mention that he loves picking his nose,and then rubbing his pimples and do the shaving job at his desk?

GOD!!!!

Sarah is Having a Fever.

My lil' cupcake is having a fever since last night. Poor baby.. Her temperature was 38.9 deg but after we gave her medicine, it drops to 37.1 deg. I know that she'll recover by today but I don't feel like leaving her with the babysiter. So I took emergency leave today, and try to do my work online from home. The babysitter (which is also my cousin) was worried about sarah's condition where she called me last night and visit sarah this morning. She must be really taking care of my daughter and lagi satu, dia bahasa kan herself 'MAK' with Sarah... I feel flattered because I know she loves Sarah so much. Ok Sarah, please get well soon.. Don't make MAMA and MAK worry so much ok. We love you.

Sarah's Day Out

So yesterday is our first 'real' outing as a family. Lots of baby stuff need to bring i.e stroller, baby carrier, diapers, wet tissues, spare cloth, pacifier and yadayadayada.. I was so excited, get dolled up eagerly until suddenly PIL came and ask us to go to a kenduri at 2pm. I was a bit bengang because why they did not inform us earlier? I wasn't refuse to go, because i know that they came during Sarah's kenduri and all but what made me so angry was we had planned for this outing for a week, so there goes my plan lah kan. FYI, I am a planner and I hate last minute event or whatsoever sebab if i do a last minute job or change a plan in a last minute, i'll get my nerves! and i hate it because i will sweat like a fish, I have a hyperhydrosis afterall.. The other half told his mum about our plan but she just said that we can go after the function, "tak payah pakai baju kurung pun takpe". Huh! another disaster. I already dressed and my outfit was SO inappropiate for a kenduri. Damn, tak kan nak tukar baju kurung and later go shopping by wearing baju kurung also? I had to find another baju sambil berpeluh-peluh, then had to iron the baju and different tudung..Benci! Nasib baik other half helped to prepare Sarah's stuff and load in the car. At 2.30pm, we head off to the kenduri. Nasib baik the food was nice.

An hour later, we left the place and we went to Ikano and The Curve since it's the nearest and they are having massive sales in there.. Susah betul nak cari parking. All reserve parkings for family with baby was full and manusia tersangat lah ramai. Sarah really enjoy her ride. She look comfortable and didn't cry at all. Other half and Sarah waited for me outside the shop while I was busy with my shopping activity. It was funny when I saw many daddies, with baby in a stroller, sat on a bench and are waiting for their wives.

Sarah enjoying her ride! Suka nya kita..

Sarah and Papa

I was planned to buy some stuff for Sarah like new pacifier, bedsheet and some books. You might think that it is too early for me to introduce her with a book. But for me, NO. Because why, Sarah likes to sit on our lap like at the moment, she sit on my lap while i type this entry, and sometimes, she just sat and not doing anything. Her eyes just wander around and look at the ceiling. I wonder what makes the ceiling look so attractive to her. So, we decided to buy her a few books so that she can see colors, graphics and learn at the same time. I bought 6 books for her. A bedtime nursery rhymes (you press the button for the rhythm and sing along for your baby. Good rhythm for bedtime), and ABC book and a combo of 4 books. Everything is so colorful.

The books we bought for her. Cutey..

A pair of baby suit, pacifier and a thermal blanket for Sarah.

I noticed that the ambience was cold so Sarah will feel colder. Other half wanted to buy her a blanket but all blankets available are the same as what we already had at home. I don't want to buy the same thing for her. Then, I found a thermal blanket in Little Haven @ The Curve. I so like this shop. They sell cute stuff, i feel like buying everything. The thermal blanket was an instant buy but it was worth it because Sarah fell asleep after we put the blanket on her. Walaupun tak basuh lagi sebab kesian sejuk sangat..

Sarah fell asleep instantly after we put on the blanket

We didn't stop for an eating because we wanted to go home earlier. Spending time outside the home is the last thing we'll do after realizing that things are not as easy as last time. The rule now is to have lunch and dinner at home before and after the outing. Hey, that saves us 1 hour and RM 50. We head back home at 7.30 pm. It was very tiring but well worth it though! Sarah was the most tired one. Balik rumah, terus mandi kan, feed her and tido.

Mama, cepat sikit! Sarah dah kesejukan ni..

So, what do i get for myself? Just a simple four tops and a brown khaki. For other half, only a 'MotorTrader' magazine to feed his eyes. You know, guys didn't shop as much as us, women. Thanks to other half for brought us out and many thanks for being very patience, taking care of Sarah alone while I was busy browsing for the clothes. Let's do this more often ya?

One happy family @ The Curve

Sarah Khadeja. " I turn 3-months old today. yippie!!"

Jadi, aktiviti kami sempena birthday sarah yang ke 3 bulan ini ialah, baby's day out atau dalam maksud sebenarnya adalah, mama's day out.. Mama dah lama tak gi shopping tau... So, till now. Saya dah mengantuk, penat kuar tak abis nih..

I'm Headache

So I took a 1/2 day off today. Just to come home earlier,relax,enjoy my 'unhealthy,full of fat take-away lunch' and blogging.

Sorry my lil cupcake baby sarah, mama is not complaining, mama just errr...complaint?

Sarah Kena Inject Lagi...

Semalam appointment Sarah untuk another injection. As of yesterday, berat Sarah adalah 5.1kg. Tak berapa berat sangat. Last month sarah naik dari 3.2kg ke 4.4 kg dalam masa kurang sebulan. Tapi kali ni, berat naik sikit sahaja around 0.7kg. Saya tahu kenapa, sebab hari tu Sarah kena cirit-birit. Jadi sarah banyak lost weight masa tu. Kesian Sarah..

Oh ya! pasal semalam, Sarah menangis waktu kena inject. tapi sekejap aje. Sarah mudah dipujuk lebih2 lagi kalau dengan papa sebab papa memang suka manjakan sarah. Balik rumah, kami terus bagi makan ubat demam sebab badan Sarah dah mula panas. Menangis-nangis Sarah, tak nak makan ubat. tapi akhirnya sarah telan jugak. Sarah pun banyak meragam, tak nak minum susu, mungkin terasa kesan sakit dicucuk dekat peha. Malam pulak, Sarah takmo tido. Papa asik terjaga saja. Saya mengaku lah memang at most nights, other half yang akan bangun kalau Sarah meragam. Dia suruh saya tido sebab dia tahu saya kerja office hour sedangkan dia tidak. Thanks ye papa sebab very understanding. Tapi, pukul 4 pagi saya terjaga. Lepas beri sarah susu, saya rasa badan dia, cukup panas. Panik juga. Segera saya kejutkan other half untuk bagi Sarah makan ubat. Kerana saya fail kalau buat sendiri. mesti ada yang pegang tangan sarah, kalau tidak habis ubat jatuh entah ke mana. Lepas tu, kami tidurkan sarah antara kami. Seronok dia tidur. Mesti rasa nyaman kan.. sampai lah ke pagi. Alhamdullilah, subuh tadi badan sarah dah tak panas. Masa hantar ke rumah pengasuh pun, Sarah masih tertidur lena.

Sarah tidur petang semalam. Suka buat muka mencebik..but still very cute..

Oh ya, ada pesanan untuk my best colleague, Yanti. Have a safe journey tau esok. Jangan lupa update tentang Fujiwara san bila balik mesia ok, and kiss kan Sarah untuk Ultraman Ace ok?

Work and 2-Hour Shopping Spree.

Hari ni,saya pergi genba. Pergi dengan assistant saya, Didi. Saya kena bagi exposure pada dia, supaya lain kali bole perform genba sendiri. Kali ini pertama kali saya ke service dealer.Sebelum ni, asyik pergi branch aje. Bulan ni, tukar angin! lagipun,saya kena tolong mereka, improve certain area. Supaya akhir tahun, bila KRA review, area saya ok dan mudah- mudahan bonus pun extra lah.hahahaha..
Genba tadi kejap aje. Pukul 1 dah habis sebab mereka memang bagi cooperation. Terima kasih lah kepada mereka. Saya happy dapat visit service centre tu.
Lepas tu kami pi singgah Sogo sekejap. Sale tengah gile. Saya ambil kesempatan untuk beli Sarah punye rattle, spare Avent-nyer puting dgn pillow case. Other than that, sempat beli scarves dekat Turkuaz Boutique. Colleague saya kata , dekat situ scarves dia corak unik, cuma agak mahal sikit. Saya frust sebab last week, pergi beli scarves RM 10 sehelai, end up tak boleh nak pakai pun. Susah nak dibentuk. Sebab frust, saya terus rembat 4 helai tadi. Rasa puas dan berbaloi. Didi sempat beli sepasang kasut. Kami sekejap je dekat Sogo, nak cepat balik opis sebab takut hujan lebat. Maklumlah, sekarang ni kat sg choh mesti hujan lebat dari tengahari sampai ke petang.
Tepat jangkaan kami, dalam perjalanan balik hujan turun selebat-lebatnya. Saya drive dengan perlahan sebab takut. Tayar depan saya belah kana dah botak. minggu ni other half kata nak tukar kan. Sampai opis, hujan masih lagi lebat. Berlari kami dari car park ke main entrance. Kuyup jugak lah.
Masuk opis pukul 4.30 pm. setelkan keje yang pending. Saya rasa syukur sangat sebab dapat assistant yang bagus. Buat kerja cepat dan detail. Masa saya maternity leave dulu saya tak risau langsung tinggalkan kerja pada dia sebab saya tahu dia boleh buat. Bagus-bagus, mana lah tahu kalau saya nak 'berhijrah' ke tempat lain, tak delah pincang sangat sebab saya dah groom dia elok2. Bos patut berterima kasih dengan saya kan.
Sometimes saya rasa bosan jugak dengan kerja sekarang. Tapi tengoklah, kalau ada rezeki lain. mungkin saya lari.. hahahah... (saya tahu bos saya tak akan baca blog ni, sebab tu saya tulis)

Do you Believe In..

Anda percaya tak dengan bomoh/pawang/dukun or whatever the name is. Honestly I said I don't actually. But my In Laws do.
kisahnya bermula begini, last week hari rabu. entah kenapa sarah meragam pada waktu petang. Semuanya serba tak kena. saya sangat tension. dahlah penat balik dari kerja, Sarah pula buat hal. Other half tiada di rumah waktu itu. Nak jadikan cerita PIL datang kerumah untuk melawat cucu dia. Bila mereka tgk sarah menangis, mula lah fikirkan yang bukan2.
Malam tu, dalam pukul 9 tiba2 FIL datang ke rumah suruh kami bawa sarah jumpa so-called bomoh untuk ubatkan sarah. Kami refuse, tapi FIL mendesak juga. Being an obedient son, other half dgn berat hati suruh saya pergi juga. sebab nak jaga hati. Nanti kalau later sarah menangis, mereka akan mengungkit. Sarah masa tu dah ok. dan dia pun bersiap-siap nak tido dah. Saya memang malas, dah lah penat, belum dinner pun masa tu. Lagi pun mengantuk yang amat sangat.
Maka dengan berat hatinya saya pun pergi ditemani MIL dan seorang saudara. Sampai di sana, bomoh tu pun ubatkan sarah sambil membaca ayat2 yang saya pun tak faham. Dia memberi saya kemenyan, (katanya kalau sarah menangis hidu kan sarah dengan kemenyan tu) dan juga tali sebesar tali kasut untuk dibuat tangkal. disuruhnya kalungkan pada leher sarah. Lepas tu kata nya, kalau sarah menangis lagi mengkin rumah kami ada 'benda'.
Saya ingat semuanya sudah selesai, boleh pulak lepas tu orang lain pun nak 'berubat' juga. Bengang betul saya, saya sudah penat. Saya nak balik.
Akhirnya pukul 11.30 malam baru kami sampai rumah. Sepatutnya waktu macam tu, saya sudah tidur. Bila sampai dirumah, saya tak terus pulang, singgah di rumah PIL. Kata bomoh tu, jgn terus balik rumah. tunggu 5 minit. MIL yang menyedari saya tak makan apa pun lagi suruh makan kat rumah dia. Tapi saya sangat penat. Saya cuma fikir nak tido. saya decline, sambil menjawab. "saya tak nak makan mak, saya penat, nak tidur." Rude mungkin. Tapi itu tanda protes.
Lepas tu kami pun pulang kerumah. kemenyan dan tali kami tak guna pun. Tak sanggup nak guna kan pada sarah.
Saya bukan lah tidak percaya pada benda2 yg begitu. saya sedar, ada makhluk lain juga di dunia ini. Tapi, kes ni lain. kalau tak menangis, bukan lah baby namanya. kebetulan sarah meragam sedikit hari tu. mungkin dia meragam nak jumpa papanya masa tu sebab papa belum pulang lagi. Pada saya, bukan semua hal berlaku disebabkan gangguan atau apa. Lainlah kalau sarah hari2 macam ni.
Saya bukan apa, kalau boleh saya nak jauhkan sarah dari benda2 yang begini. Saya tidak mahu, sentiasa minta ubat, minta air. Yang penting berdoa pada Allah dan bertawakal. Saya tahu PIL risau dan sayang kan sarah. Mereka memang sudah terbiasa begini. Keluarga mereka kalau nak buat apa2 cth pergi temuduga, pergi exam, pergi amik lessen memandu, MESTI minta air. Saya kurang berkenan cara itu. Pada saya, kalau minum air jampi bergelen-gelen tapi tak belajar, tak prepare utk interview tak guna juga. Yang penting kena lah bertawakal.

Maaflah PIL, dan other half juga. Saya kurang berkenan cara begini. Sorry!

The Story of Majlis Aqiqah and Cukur Jambul

Majlis aqiqah dan cukur jambul sarah was held on 14th June 2008 at my in laws side. As usual, kalau ada any function the family akan masak sendiri. No (or never) catering though. Because their family is really big (Big). FIL has 16 siblings and all of them are sangat lah ringan tulang and they just loves to gather at function like this.

Among FIL big family (L to R: Cik Satar and her child Yaya, Izati, Mak Lah, Cik Su dan Cik Am)

The majlis a bit meriah i can say, since it's for our first child as we spent quite a lot of money on it. Luckily, FIL ada ternak kambing so we bought it at half of its price. The theme color was pink. So imagine the goodie bags are also pink consist of a pink bunga telur, red apple, muffin and bunga rampai yg dibalut dengan kain organza kaler pink juga. Then, Sarah punye buai pun dibalut dengan kain organza sulam warna pink, alas tilam saya balut dengan kain batik warna pink bercorak unik, hadiah dari seorang servis dealer semasa beliau bercuti di Bali. Saya juga belikan Sarah flower girl dress warna pink siap dengan headband sekali. Maka, tak sah kalau parent Sarah tak pakai baju pink juga kan?

Jadi malam tu, orang yang hadir sangatlah ramai. Alhamdullilah majlis berjalan dengan lancar. Ramai yang kata masakan malam tu sedap. Yerlah, tukang masaknya makcik other half yang ada kedai makan sendiri.

Antara crowd yang hadir. Ramaikan!

Akhirnya papa Sarah dapat juga berzanji untuk anak sendiri. Saya tau other half mesti sangat happy.

Other half sedang mendukung sarah semasa majlis

Mula2 saya pakaikan sarah pyjama hadiah dari shiela utk sarah. (aunty shiela tak dtg pun mlm tu ;P). Lepas tuh baru saya tukarkan dengan dress baru.

Sarah dgn pyjama hadiah dari shila. Notice tak bawah mata Sarah ada scratch?

Sarah dengan dress. Tapi sekejap je dapat bergaya.

Papa dah pesan kat saya, sebelum majlis bermula, tidurkan sarah dan susu kan sarah kenyang2. Kami takut kalau dia meragam semasa majlis. Apa yang kami takutkan betul2 berlaku. Sarah meragam. Dia panas dan rimas agaknya, orang ramai sangat. Dia meronta-ronta. akhirnya MIL suruh saya bedung supaya dia diam dan tak meronta-ronta. Haih! bedung. there goes the pink flower dress lah kan! Jadi tak dapat tengok Sarah in action dgn dress tu. Nasib baik dia tak rimas dgn headband tu. Kalau tak, saya mesti sedih tengok sarah tak dapat nak bergaya.Kami sangat penat dan tak menang tangan nak layan orang. Angpow sarah dapat malam tu boleh tahan banyaknya. Kami akan simpan semua duit sarah dalam bank. Tapi saya sangat terkilan dengan satu perkara. sebab terlampau penat, tiada satu pun gambar kami satu keluarga bertiga walau pun kami dah pakai baju matching2 lagi. Sedih juga sebab takde kenangan.

Saya sedang menenangkan sarah sebelum majlis bermula

Rambut sarah yang kena gunting.

Sarah lena tertido selepas dicukur

Apapun, terima kasih pada semua yang menjalankan majlis ini dengan jayanya dan terima kasih pada kawan2 yang sudi datang. Iema dan Bakhtiar yg datang jauh dari Banting. (Insyaallah saya akan datang ke wedding kamu berdua Ogos ni) dan juga Abot yg as happy-go-lucky as always. Tahniah sebab bakal bergelar ratu sehari tak lama lagi. Oh ya Abot, saya rasa saya akan hadiahkan kamu antara Ikea table lamp ataupun bedsheet. Itu antara wishlist kamu kan? Iema dan Bakhtiar pula, kamu nak apa? Buatlah wishlist macam saya dulu as i don't end up getting the same hadiah from everybody.

Baru-baru ni saya terima email dari kawan, artikel mengenai hal cukur jambul ni. Adat ni menyerupai suatu adat agama lain yang tak patut di ikuti oleh orang islam. Artikel ini menyebut lagi, sanggupkah ibu bapa sedari kecil lagi mahu mendekatkan anak dengan perkara yang dilarang oleh Allah? adalah lebih afdhal mengakikah kan anak pada hari ketujuh selepas kelahirannya. Saya terkedu baca emel tu. Betul jaga, serta merta rasa bersalah menyelubungi diri saya. menyesal. Saya berazam, sekiranya ada rezeki anak kedua nanti saya tak akan buat majlis cukur jambul ni walau pun di desak PIL (kerana PIL kaya dengan adat, dulu saya pun kena buat lenggang perut.) Aqiqah sahaja! Insyaallah.

PC oh PC!

It's been a while since i last updating this blog. Reason why puan-puan is because my PC (yeah, the bulky desktop that my bf(now my other half) bought me during my uni days) and modem CRASHED. And oh yes, crashed kerana dipanah petir TWICE within TWO weeks after the last repair. Nasib baik the pc guy is very bermurah hati to repair it at no cost and siap hantar ke rumah dan install kan semula. And nasib baiklah the TM technician at my area is very competent. Report hari ni, besok pagi2 call nak hantar modem. Tapi kali ni, dia tukar modem dengan warning. Kalau kami tak jaga modem elok2, next time dia nak buat lambat2..Biar padan dengan muka kami.
Banyak cerita nak update sebenarnya especially about majlis bercukur jambul sarah. tapi gambar tak upload lagi kat PC. Later lah cerita. Ini pun curi-curi masa nak blog sambil mata memantau sarah. Btw, sarah baru lepas minum susu. Tadi tengok dia sudah pejamkan mata, tapi sekarang dia dah bangun. Siap lah! mama kena bersedia..
