ENTRY YG PANJANG

Nak mula yg mana dulu ekk?

Oh ya, pasal Mencah yg kena diarrhea - Alhamdulillah, she's getting better. Rasanya dah tau punca... my hubby admitted that he gave Mencah a slice of cheese yg actually still within the expiry date tapi dah lama tersadai dlm fridge. One thing, Mencah lurvvvess cheese to the max. Kalau dilayan, dia boleh habiskan the whole packets of 6's cheddar cheese at one time! And the next day she will po poo more frequent than usual. Cuma this time yg paling teruk. Almost 4 days! Now, we both have learnt the lesson.

And thanks to all my cyber pals (they are mommies too!) for their advices. Now I know...cut their FM intake to stop their purging and vomitting. I did that... plus giving her some medications. My Mencah sudah buas seperti sediakala :P

Now, about buka puasa...

Since the Buka Puasa kat Templer Park that day, we've been attending 3 more (sponsored) Buka Puasa. Satu kat Shah Alam - Thai Restaurant (serious, I jarang hambek tau nama2 restoran nih..) - Food was nice (take note : I am no fussy eater). Another 1 kat Pizza Hut Rawang and recently kat Tropicana. Ohhh... I love the scenaries at Tropicana. I wish I could have a chance to stay there at least a week. (Berangan jer la...) Rumah-rumahnya (its not rumah i could say...its mansion!) was super marvelous! Macam istana pon ada! Banyak nya duit mereka dan keluarga mereka. Saya rasa, kalau saya duduk rumah besar giler mcm tu..kalau hilang brg mesti tak jumpa sampai ke sudah! Haihh....Anyway, we should be grateful of what we have rite?











Tropicana Golf Resort...

I can feel the sense of familiarity whenever I passed by the route from home to the clubhouse. There are bunches of memories there. My previous office was only a-minute-drive from Tropicana. Mead Johnson (my previous employer) has been having numerous gatherings, lunches, dinners, product launches... etc. there. On our way (from parking area) to the restaurant, I bumped into my ex-company directors - playing tennis with the GM. Huh...bodek sungguh!! I saw Jimmy (Supply Chain director) and the Medical Sales Director (sudah lupa nama beliau :P) sedang main tenis (membodek) dengan MJ's New GM and Finance Director - both are Mat Saleh.



I wonder how was the situation now at MJ...hurmmm....


A visit to the Dentist.


Ya Allah mengantuknya saya.... esok2 lah saya sambung...time to sleep.


Updated :
Since this week saya dpt pelepasan puasa (sengih..), I've decided to give my teeth a 'total makeover' (iyer2 jer kan.. :P). Sudah lama sgt tak jumpa dentist; last was during my pregnancy - end of 2006. Almost 2 years kan. So, mcm biasa i terjah jer mana2 klinik gigi yg ada kat Rawang nih.

KLINIK PERGIGIAN CHEK
Sbb klinik ni yg paling dekat dgn umah, easy access, easy to get parking space. Takde org, so cepat jer masuk jumpa doc. My intention is to tampal semua lubang2 kat gigi. Dan gigi saya ni memang dah byk yg 'missing' menyebabkan byk sgt empty space. Luckily kat corner lot. Hehehe. I never bother about those empty spaces until this very-pandai-pujuk doc lecturing me on the concequences of leaving those empty spaces unattended.

She said :

Oh my...you have removed so many gigis yea... You know what, lemme tell you something (sambil menanggalkan face mask dan menghulurkan cermin kat saya - tu nk mula ler tu...) Look at your below part of teeth, see... all your teeth is moving and 'comforting' themselves due to wide space at corner here (pointing to the right side of my below teeth). (My gigi kapak kat bahagian bawah dah renggang sikit). But luckily your below lip manage to 'hide' it whenever you smile. But, I tell you...when this things happens to your upper teeth...YOU WILL CRY!! Both your front teeth up here (now pointing to my upper, front teeth!) will slowly move and become apart. And... you cannot hide it in anyways!! That time surely YOU WILL CRY ....


And now, she's offering a solution...ceh!


But luckily you are still young and it haven't move yet (the teeth) So, what u can do is, u can place a fake one into that space so that, the rest of your upper teeth will be tighten up.

Dang! Dung! Deng! Bla..bla...bla....

Ringkaskan cerita, sayer telah bejaya di POW oleh doktor tersebut. Setelah mendapat greenlight from my hubby, maka Dr Chek terus proceed buat mould for my gigi pelesu. Melayang rm550! Ohh..thats includes tampalan 4 btg gigi, scaling, gigi pelesu 2 batang (the best quality kononnya which comes with a 'C' wire hook) and a half an hour lecture + demo on how to use floss! Nasib baik dia tak buat demo cara2 berus gigi macam zaman kita sekolah2 dulu... remember those days...misi (nurse) bawak replica gigi yg besarrr...berus gigi yg besarr.... and we all holding a paper cup, bertenggek kat tepi longkang...then she showed us brushing techniques ...the DOs and DONTs..bla..bla..bla...

Luckily, its claimable. Ohh...sayang PERODUA! Anyway, my gigi pelesu akan siap esok! Mesti Aisyah pelik dengar saya bercakap nnt, coz doc dah pre alert me... pronunciation will slightly be 'affected' especially in the first few days as your mouth is adapting with the new gigi pelesu. Oh my...mcm tak percaya!! I am going to wear gigi pelesu at the age of 29! Dr Chek said... when you have enough fund, u should consider do tanam gigi (i forgot the medical term). There will be no wire or plastic part that hooked into your gum. Its pricey...approx. rm4k something. Huh.... I wont ever do that for the sake of beauty. Never ever! Its HARAM ok...

Hadis diriwayatkan oleh Al-Bukhari, Muslim dan Abu Daud yang menerangkan bahawa Rasulullah saw bersabda:

“Allah melaknat wanita-wanita yang mencabut bulu kening atau bulu muka (al-Namisah) atau meminta orang lain mencukur atau mencabut bulu keningnya (al-Mutanammisah), wanita yang mengasah gigi supaya kelihatan cantik. Perbuatan itu telah mengubah ciptaan Allah.”

Just a recap from my Syariah and Quran Sunnah lesson masa kat Taayah : Larangan mengubah kejadian diri adalah termasuk menyambung atau menanam rambut (very famous nowadays esp. among celebrities kat Indon), mencabut atau mengukir kening (need i say more..?), membuat tatoo, memakai rambut palsu (termasuk wig).

Pengecualian yg ada : Harus jika ingin memperbaiki sebutan dan bacaan Al-Quran, berhias untuk suami dan faktor2 kesihatan.

Ohh...sudah panjang kan? Ok then, I will upload Mencah's pic in my next entry.
What a lazy Saturday.....zzzz......

Ulu Yam and KFC

Yesterday we went to Ulu Yam - Kampung Nenek Onah. Sebagai calon menantu kesayangan (al-perasan...keke..) seperti biasa, sayer menjadi drebar. Pegi melawat Makwe (my FIL's sister yang sakit tak boleh berjalan). Kat rumah tu Makwe tinggal dengan anak perempuannya (Kak Bariah yang tidak berkahwin - dh berumur lebih kurang 50 tahun) dan anak lelakinya - Abg Basri dan 10 orang anak-anaknya. Isteri Abg Basri (kak Nor dah meninggal). Sedih bila tengok cucu-cucu Makwe - anak2 arwah Kak Nor yang tak terurus. Bayangkanlah...10 adik beradik dgn yang bongsu sebaya Mencah, Yang sulung baru 18 tahun, Mak pulak dah meninggal...nasib baik ada Kak Bariah yang boleh tolong uruskan budak-budak tu. I bought some clothes, a teddy bear and milk bottles for that little one - Anisah and some toys for the toddlers. Kalau saya jadi kak Bariah, silap2 sayer dh masuk hospital bahagia... penat fizikal dan mental nk menguruskan mak yg terlantar sakit dan budak2 yang tgh nk membesar. Mana nak memasak, kemas umah, basuh kain, menggosok, uruskan si kecik tu lagi, mandikan mak yg terlantar, tukar diapers for both of them, bla..bla..bla...

Bila saya tengok si kakak yg baru darjah 3 buatkan susu utk si kecik, lagi saya terharu. Kita dulu masa sebaya dia, nk tuang air untuk diri sendiri pon tak lepas kan. Basuh botol pon tak berapa bersih, bancuhan susu pon cair.... yerlah...budak2 lah katakan. Apa sangat yg mereka tau kan.... Si kecil tu pon punyalah baik...tak meragam walaupon badan tak sihat. Hingus meleleh.... macam faham situasi keluarganya yang serba kekurangan dan tak beribu... (Arwah ibu diorang meninggal tahun lepas, masa si kecil Anisah berumur 4 bulan)

We bought along fish and chicken for them, and we had delicious lunch with them all. Bila si kecik Anisah wake up from her afternoon nap, lagi sekali saya tersentak tengok makanan yang disediakan untuk dia. She ate tomyam with rice! Bukan nasi yg lembik...nasi yang kami makan masa tengahari which is a bit dry... I was soooo surprised and accidentally said : Hah! kenapa suap tomyam untuk baby...?? Then Kak Bariah replied - tomyam tu akak tak letak perasa yang dlm paket tu... akak letak sos tomato botol tu jer... I admit that tomyam tu memang tak berapa masam dan pedas, but then.... tahan ke perut si kecik tu.....

Bila saya tengok Anisah punyalah berselera makan, rasa mcm nk menitis air mata taww...Kalau si Mencah ni...punyalah mcm2 resepi sayer dan Nenek Onah masakkan untuk dia...itu pon punyalah susah nk bagi makan! Kalau salah makan sikit, mulalah cirit biritlah...sembelitlah....
Then, sayer terfikir....sekurang-kurangnya kuranglah beban untuk Kak Bariah menguruskan si kecik tu. She ate adult food. So, sekali masak...the whole family can eat!

Sebelum balik, kami singgah umah Mak Endak (my MIL's sister). Bestlah rumah dia... Mencah pon ala2 lupa daratan berlari kesa sini...hehe.

Balik dari Ulu Yam, I brought Aisyah to the nearest KFC (only 5 minutes away from home) Agenda yang kini bukan lagi rahsia...mempergunakan indoor park yang ada dlm KFC tu. So, sayer tak perlu berpanas, berhujan. Saya boleh memantau Aisyah dengan aman damai....dan En Somi saya pon dah pandai guna taktik ini. Hehehe..silap2 tak lama lagi Mencah kena blacklist kat KFC Tmn Setia Rawang. Kekekeke....


Inilah aksi my little monster di KFC

My apologies for any keceluparan. Heh! Am just trying to be honest to myself.

GONE BABY GONE

Its been quite sometimes since my last visit to the cinema. Snake on the plane was the last movie I watched before I got stuck with Aisyah. Haha. But, since our baby is not with us (weird though...didn't feels like lovers anyway. haha...) we've been watching this 2 movies in this 2 weeks.

Been eye-ing for this movie ever since I heard it's promo on radio. Last week, we (me n hb) went for a unplanned movie watching during our so-called "weekend Jusco visits" at Kepong. Thats the nearest and the best "all under one roof" mall nearby. Remember guys, we dont have much choices here in Rawang. ~Sigh~ We had our fatty dinner at KFC before heading to the cinema. Its not our style to book movie tickets online or even surf or make phone calls to check movie availabilities. Padan mukalah! There were no great movies that worth to watch. And it starts very late some more. So, I suggested that we try checking another cinema at Selayang. At least, we were half way to home (nearer). Trust me, I dont know whether its Cineplex or TGV or GSC. Been watching movies there a few times but I never bother to remember the name. Haha... Am not sure if the cinema still exists! We reached Selayang at about 11 pm something. That place is rather scary and gloomy now. Worsen than my last visit. Maybe because its very late and the schedules are more or less same like TGV in Kepong. No good movies. But, as we have the "dah alang-alang..." attitudes, we ended up watching this forever-dump-and-rubbish movie~10,000 BC! Thats the stupid-est English movie that I had ever watched in my entire life so far. (Eh, it doesnt sounds English actually...got Hindi essence!)



The storyline was like no plot, no motive, no direction, no climax....and nothing else I could say. Yes, it potrays a great CGI efforts, but, can they at least produce a movie that can connect the audience to the storyline? I would rather sit on my sofa and watch the National Geographic channel. So peeps, for your good sake, please do not watch this movie.


And, this weekend...we did our Jusco visit again but this time I managed to convince hb to go a lil bit further. One Utama jerr. Hehe. And, as we never learned any lessons (sgt degil okkay!) we went to check (again..) for any good movies (again..) Its not checking actually as we already made up our mind-to watch as many movies as we can while little Aisyah not around! (sounds like ambil kesempatan kan?) We first checked at the cinema nearby Jusco area and later on, we went to the other one at the other wings. (am very bad at telling direction and/or places!) This time, lucky us! Gone Baby Gone is now showing. We bought the 9.30 pm show. As usual, dinner is a must before watching movie. This time we dine at Teppanyaki where I had my usual menu-salmon, while hb-beef.

A 4-year-old girl is missing in a tough Boston neighborhood, and private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro (Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan) are asked by family to assist in the case. Kenzie is a street-wise P.I. who utilizes his knowing locals from school to help in the investigation. But this is no easy case, and the there are drug thugs, money, and liars around who complicate their work.

Language and violence give it the R rating, but this is well worth viewing. Ben Affleck's directorial debut, adapted from the Dennis Lehane novel, also stars Ed Harris, Morgan Freeman and Amy Ryan (in her first Oscar-nominated role for best supporting actress as the missing girl's mother).

Filem ini "agak" best. Unpredictable ending! As a parents, you will appreciate this movie more. I cried watching this movie okay! Cant stop thinking of my baby. peeps, go and watch this and lemme know whether u guys feels the same! Hehe...

So, thats how we spent our weekends as a separated-from-baby-parents. There will be another separated weekend (next week) before the 3 of us unite in the early April. Oh, please....let this be the last and only time of life-without-Aisyah. Am sooooo....addicted to her! Life without our little sweetie is dull, boring and surprisingly...SAD! I sobbed most of the times whenever I think about her. Day or night, weekdays or weekends, sunny or rainy days... are no fun without her roaring around the house.


Good nite everyone. Have a productive Monday tomorrow!

Transition Period. Be cool hokkay...

First time ever in 50 years y'all!

For the next 4 years Malaysia will be ruled by the oppositions (I know that BN wins the majority) But the scenario now was like soooo...kecoh, soooo gelabah as though BN dah kalah langsung. Some peoples seems to get panicked and cant stop complaining and criticizing the new lines up. Rileks lah....4 tawon bukan lama pon. Kalo rasa tok leh gi sgt2...use your power again in 2013! The transition period has caused macam2 reactions from the citizens. Some are those who never had any interest in politics! Its a good sign i think. Who says young Malaysian tak suker politics?? Hurmm.....

Those yang kalah...come on, this is not the end of the world hokkay...(KJ said this!). Its a good time for them to think back of WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, WHAT YOU HAVEN'T DONE AND WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE!

Mereka-mereka yang menang tu...ingatlah tanggungjawab yang terpikul di bahu. Bear in mind, its not only here okay... but you will be questioned again in the day after (akhirat). Kalau engko worang berjaya menunjukkan prestasi yang ADIL, BERSIH, CEKAP dan AMANAH gerenti engko worang dpt vote haku lagi in the next 4 years. Heheh....

Kepada yg tak menang dan tak kalah (rakyat jelata la kaedahnya...hehe) Berilah peluang utk kepimpinan baru ni perform. Kalau dulu kita boleh duduk diam dan bersatu (konon-kononnya) di bawah pemimpin2 yg sesetengahnya aku nilaikan sebagai pemimpin FASIK, kenapa skang tak leh cool down dan belakon (bagi worang2 yg mencikk giler kat oppositions nih) bersatu di bawah kepimpinan baruni.

INGAT, Manusia merancang (plan juta2 woo nk gula-gulakan worang Kelantan) namun PERANCANGAN ALLAH SWT lagi hebat. Segala yang berlaku ada hikmahnya.

Kalau ada Kelantanese yg baca posting haku nehh...sila kirim salam kat MB korang. Aku berharap, lepas ni akan ada lagi pemimpin yg tawadu' mcm Tuan Guru ni kat negeri2 lain.

To DAPs, please behave and dont be naughty okay! Jentik karanggg...!

These are some pics taken during election at my hometown.









====================================================================

Balik kg masa election, I have to leave Aisyah with my parents coz Nenek Onah ada duty lain. She have babysit her other grandsons at Subang coz dorang nyer bibik went back to Indon for 1 month. Sedey gilerkk hokkay...tinggalkan anak kat kampung. The first 3 days to memang sayer asek sok sek...sok sek...tingat kat baby. Somi ku lagik dasat...tido kena peluk bantal anak. Muahaha...but thank God, Aisyah adapt really well with her new enviro. Surprisingly, dia dah tak nangis tengok Mak Tok dgn Tok Ayah dia. Before this, tgok dorang mcm nampak alien okay... This weekend kami balik kampung lagi. Visit Aisyah...Ya Allah rindunya sayer..... Harap2 kami kuat iman. Aisyah have to stay at kampung until end of this month.

1st day pegi keje lepas election, Sayer lalu kat area Pasar Pagi kat depan Pejabat Pos and came across this cute hair clip. Terus nk menangis teringat kat Aisyah yang rambut dia selalu cucuk mata. I went straight and bought a packet for my baby. Masuk opis and quickly boh dlm envelope and mail to her... This was my very 1st letter to my doter!








Wonder whether surat ni sampai ke tak ekk... Everday tah baper belas kali sayer menalipon kampung tapi asek terlupa nk tanya about the hair clip! Aisyah dh mula kuat mkn now and refused to drink her milk as much as before. Alhamdulillah, anak mama dh nk makan. Jimat duit susu mama nak...hehe.

These are some pics taken a few days before balik kampung. My sis babysit her for 1 week but she has to went back kampung coz SPM result dah nk kuar that time. Thats the reason why we have to send Aisyah balik kampung.


Muker bangun tido...cukup suka kalau bawak jenjalan kat luar or naik tricycle kunin dier nih!






On my last day kat kampung. Masa ni Aisyah baru bgn from her afternoon nap. Kening dia yg merah tu suda kena geget dgn nyamuk! Muker monyok jer kan...






Aduhhh...Mama rindu banget sama Aisyah!
