Conjunctivitis.......Keratitis.......

Alhamdulillah my eyes are getting better now..... but my vision is still blurred...Blame it on my antibodies....it's attacking my cornea...according to my opthamologist....

I initially got the conjunctivitis from my dear son...who probably got it from on of his nursery mates.....One of the dangers of sending him there....urghhhh... Well it spread to my husband first .... than me...n by the 4th day I got a referral from our panel clinic and headed to Pantai.....apparently my condition had spread to my eyelids and cornea..from conjunctivitis jd keratitis...straight away warded..sheish....because the medication had to be administrated intraveinously... so stayed there until Saturday ....

the worst part about the hospitalization was the office people duk kacau2 mcm tak puas hati org mc just because sakit mata.... one of them even said to my husband...' sakit mata je kan , mulut tak sakit kan'...oh really....serius bengang.... mata berair, berdenyut denyut and blurr ni you want me to duk kat office in front of the pasocon....serius kalau pegi pun tak leh focus...ohhh did i mention it's contagious.....seriously.....tlglh phm people....

Actually kalau ikut my doc dia nk bg one mor week mc....but then since the people at the office are all getting on my nerves.....i'll be resuming work InsyaAllah next monday....

a little time for myself....

phew... a little time for myself....skrg nk ngadap pasokon bkn main nye susah...kwn2 jgn tertipu ye ngan facebook/skype yg sentiasa o9 tu...that's just my pasokon that likes tu turn ITSELF on... I kid you not...kita tekan shut down dia leh hidup blk sendiri... this prob sejak masa kat nihon lg...it's nothing new...as long as it can still be turned on.... dell merahku ini lah yg akan tetap disisi...

skrg pun hubby dearie tgh tdokan wewefff dlm buai a.k.a endoi as he calls it... weweff..nama glamour harith hahaha...punyalah tak mo panggil nama cm tu konon nk panggil nama skema jek...tak jd....haha..tapi susah tul la...kita bg nama Harith with a 'th' kan but ada jgk people panggil dia haris with an 's'...seb baik haris pun maksud dia pun bagus...kdg tersasul panggil ariff...but that one pun has a good meaning...so all is well

anyway, i requested kt hubby...minggu ni tak mo blk kulim leh tak? i wanna stay home...wanna kemas2 since kontena finally sampai after 3 and a half months...wanna read my buku cte.. want to cook2...want to berkelah ngan colleagues kat bayan bay....haa...yg last tu main sebenarnya....gara2 geram hubby ikut dept dia gi mkn durian sorg2 n then bila dk2 blanking ajk i g...dia ada eval lak...so cannot go...sbb sapa nk handle harith masa I drive to blk pulau....klu dia ngamuk2 sorg2 kt blakang sapa nk soothe dia...so this time bila ada group ajak berkelah..i put down my foot and said I WANT TO GO....

n mlm ni ngadap blog sat...before I sit down with the bills to do my 家計簿 a hobby of mine since kat fukui lg...tp berbulan dah x gerak...x sempat2... so tak bley nk track our expenses... i used to call this hobby 'main2 excel' when skype ngan hubby and he asked me what i was doing.... tp bukan makin terror pun pki excel...kt ctu gaks...still a lot more to learn...

work is as usual...work....ada it's up and downs... but the more i get used to it...the more i realise i need to learn...baru dpt satu ...dr satu tu you nmpk 10 lg yg u kena tau... i wonder..klu 1st job as QA..lps ni klu i kaisha len stuck as QA lg kai? ohhh my....

that's all for now kot...nk pi wat gantt chart....

tup tap tup tap dah 6 weeks...

Ww18 ~ wW24...
tup tap tup tap dh 6 weeks...dh 2 kali dpt gaji (we get paid twice a month)....hmmm and how do i find working life?
well lets just say dpd 6 weeks tu adalah dlm 2~3 hari je yg saya blh terasa 'I like my job'..that's only what 2.38 % of the time.... but as my mom says...that's what you call ' working life'...At least ada jugak kan days when i like it...tak de 100% hate my job...

It's just that now weekends seem so far away...and when they come they seem to be over in a flash...
So far baru blk Kajang...what about Kulim...almost every  week... we've only spent the weekend at home twice kot sejak pindah Penang ni...so you do the math...

About work...well I'm attached to the QA department in charge of incoming quality control... I've got one colleague who keeps telling me ' Your job is the easiest in the QA dept'....and at first I just brushed it aside...but he keeps repeating the same thing saying his job is really demanding what with dealing with customers and so on. I'd just like to say here that..yes I know your job is demanding and maybe a bit tricky...but who's to say mine isn't... semua og punya keje ada part senang ada part susah kan....

I remember the first few weeks we started work... the kohais who happened to start work the same time we did were all grumbling as was I... I would sometimes come home thinking 'jd PT (technician) kan best...kerja 4 hari cuti 3 hari...kerja 3 hari cuti 4 hari...but then can i live with their wages? and yes kerja PT ni bukannya senang sgt...lenguh kaki wey.... yg duk kt blanking lak mau sakit tgn duk but keja unstick2 tu... No..no...no..evry job ada pros and cons dia...So  what I have to do now is just get used to the idea that there's no easy job... jd suri rumah pun susah people.... been there done that... dh lh masa tu tak de anak lg... bila dah ada baby lg mencabar jdnya..

I find the most challenging aspects of my job being the management of my subordinates, making on the spot decisions and writting emails... writing emails...alah kacang je...ye tak... ye kot... but from my standpoint... the 'over think' side of me comes into play...and a simple email becomes something so burdeoning... am I using the right tone of voice so as to not kecikkan hati the customer? am i devulging any company trade secrets?... the list goes on...

But enough about work.. what about my family life?
Well Harith just turned 4 months... finally learned to meniarap when he was 3months 19 days old..after much grunting, failing and tears... we finally got to witness it the 3rd time..( the first n second time my MIL yg jd saksi..kitorg tgh keje...oh sedey..tp apakan daya)

Harith ni mahal sgt senyumanya...a very serious baby.he spends most of his time observing with dahi berkerut and bibir terjueh....hahahah...

And he's finally found his hands..but he can't grab anything yet...and dh pandai isap jari if he doesn't get his milk fast enough...

Oh ya...remember the the things isaid i wanted to avoid...let's just say i've kinda failed everything...
- nk avoid formula milk... Harith kluar2 dh kena sumbat formula...start umur dia 1 n 1/2 months dh campur breastmilk and formula milk...
- nk avoid pakai puting....huh this one pun fail after much coercian from my mommy...tp Harith bukan baby  yg nk sgt kt puting..he only takes it masa nak tdo...tu pun not all the time
- nk kurangkan pki diapers...nk pakai  cloth diapers..Harith br ada satu..that one because of the tight purse strings...insyaAllah nanti mama belikan lg ye..
- the only one that's left is tak pki buai or endoi..this one pun dah goyang dah.... my mom dh lama cucuk2...but last weekend i put Harith in the endoi at my MIL's house...oh my ...senang nya nk bg dia tdo..
I know2... I shouldn't use it as a shortcut...but susah sgt nk bg dia tdo...evry night is a struggle..and I end exhausted even b4 I leave for work... so yes I forfeit... weekend ni nk pi pinjam my SIL's endoi...let's see how it goes... I really need the sleep...

Harith ` 3mths ++ with Abah...

baby blues....

tak tahulah kenapa.... masa the first few weeks after Harith's birth start rasa this empty feeling... rindu rasa ada benda dlm perut... rindu rasa dia kick2... rindu rasa dia get stuck under my right ribcage... and now as more and more of my family members batchmates baik yang ppktj and mrsmkt, and friends from all over start tayang gambar baby bump or pics of their newborn ... perasaan yang dah lama tertimbus tu dtg balik...

tu all my family members, seniors, and friends yang nak bersalin tu... savour this short beautiful period... as for me... tak sabar nak get no 2... tp must wait jgk kot...kasi stabil family econ dulu...hihi... bg chance kat Harith manja puas2 hihi..

Sebulan bersama Harith....

Harith sayang ....you are 1 month old and so far this is what i know....
  • Harith sayang tak suka mandi, tukar pampers dan seangkatan dengannya.... tak suka sejuk kot anak mommy ni....kdg2 mommy tak bukak ur diapers lg pun u dah nangis...mcm tau2 je org nk buat pe.... but once everything is done... you get this contented look on ur face...mcm 'haaaaaaa....dh fresh blk' punya look...
  • mommy still tak reti ur signals....aik u ada bg signal ke?... mommy asyik kena  'pancut' je... don't worry ... mommy doesn't mind... i don't know how the washing machine feels though...
  • kalau bab lapar...tak reti nak sabar... haaaa.... when ur hungry u will wail like sombody cubit u or something....
  • which reminds me...the other day ur grandmother laughingly told me ' haaa...bg lg nama kuat (Harith=kuat)..kuat sungguh... nangis mintak susu kuat, minum kuat, tendang Wan bila lapar kuat...kuat sungguh' and i jokingly said...'haa tu lah...sok sok dpt adik kena bg nama 'sabar' lak...kasi sabar sikit tunggu susu..haha'
  • Harith ni special skit...coz u make all these weird sounds that both ur Wan and me agree...we've never heard any other baby make..... sometimes bunyi cm kuda...sometimes bunyi cm kambing...saaa naaa.... tp kitorg dh phm dah...tu signal something is wrong kan....like when ur hot, or when ur diaper ada isi, or even when ur punggung dah jatuh from the bantal which is ur fav tempat tdo....
  • bila Harith marah Harith jd merah...cm beet root... and it always starts kat kening...pastu satu muka merah...pastu sampai tangan kaki seme pun merah...

    when Harith gets mad...dia jadi beetroot red
  • Harith bnyk gila dpt nickname mainly from ur aunties...
                 - heating pad....because ur warm like a heating pad...soooo sedap pegang
                 - loaf of bread....beacause that's how u looked when u kena bedung
                 - clockwise...because when u sleep ... you always turn clockwise from ur original position
                 - awang chik.... awang because my mom says that's what they used to call little boys..kalau girls
                                         diorg panggil che mek... and chik...cause ur kecik...
                 - tomato man... cause you get red when ur mad
                 - beetroot...cause Wan says dia jd merah purple cm beetroot not merah merah like a tomato..
                 - pipi telur puyuh...coz his cheeks have grown to the size and shape of  quail eggs...one on each
                                             side..
                 - popeye....coz ever since we brought him back susah sgt nak tgk dia bukak mata..and when he
                                   finally did..it was with a tenteative peek from the right eye...and then it was the bukak
                                   mata kanan mata kiri tutup look...which my kakak says looks like popeye...so there
                                   you go...
                 - hiro kun....sbb bday dia sama ngan Ari's current professor... Prof Toda Hiroyuki...we even
                                    contemplated naming him Hiroyuki but decided against that...sbb panjaaang sangat
                                    nanti namanya....haha
  • Harith bila tdo sgt lasak..and everyone says that comes from me...on day 10 you  started moving in your sleep...you moved 45 degrees clockwise from your original position...

    45 degrees clockwise from origina position
  • When i put you on your tummy...you will try your best to turn back...or try nak mengiring.. tak suka meniarap eh...tak boleh lah sayang...kena buat tummy time bagi your leher kuat sikit...
  • Kalau kena dukung tak mau org duduk...nak kena diri...and believe me he knows when you're sitting down..sebab dia bising when you sit down...haha...pandai la momma's boy ni..

It's been an interesting 1 month... and somehow i love watching you and watching everyone fawn over you... It's interesting to see how your presence changes the people around you... My father your atuk...yang slalu serious tu sekrg cakap ada bunyi2..and it's so funny to watch... when the grandparents get home from work...sure berebut nak pegang cucu... berebut in 'subtle' way mind you... i just pass the baby to my dad and my mum wouls swoop in and take the baby from him.... kesian tak Atuk Harith..haha...

But sometimes rasa sedih...because there are all these things that i said i would try to avoid but in the end i end up doing.... i wanted to fully BF you..but now you get a mixture of both EBM and FM... i wanted you to get a schedule and fall asleep on ur own...that's not happening anytime soon...i didn't want to let you use a pacifier...but ur grandma has been pushing me to get you one and i ran out of alasan to give ur grandma..she just came home yesterday with a puting....aaaaa...

Harith when he tdo baik baik...hihi
Mommy can't wait until your abah gets back and see him see you for the first time... shotaimen tu...slalu dgr suara je kan Harith...tak pun tgk muka kat skype...mana best kan...tak pe saaaat je lagi... abah balik 25hb ni...yeay yeay...

cuak....

tatau nape...tomorrow is ...oh wait i mean today is my 10th scheduled prenatal check-up.... tatau kenapa cuak...never really been cuak before except during my first visit which is perfectly normal lah kot.... but this is my 10th... i should be a pro at this right... before this pun in japan i drove myself to the clinic, waited alone, had the check-up alone...so why am i so anxious about tomorrow? my mum is dropping me off at the hospital and picking me up after...not a big deal right...nape lah cuak sangat...

The journey back to Malaysia....sayonara nippon....

it's been 2 weeks since i left japan...baru sekarang nak update blog...biasalah kan...バタバタしてた....banyak nak kena settle...masa nak blah tu pun sama juga... my last day in Japan was the 28th of December...and it started with the both of us waking up late...nasib baik flight malam hahaha...the night before i spent cooking and packing food for hubby to eat when he gets back to japan.... yup 3 different dishes... 10 packets...should last him about 10 days lah kot

the lauk pauk....

anyway...since  dah bangun lambat tu...kitorg gi matsuba utk settle insurance kete tu pun lambat lah kan...tup tap tup tap...we finally left kaikan at around twelve when abg yasir tlg hantar gi toyohashi eki... when we got there ari bought the shinkansen tickets ( he insisted on them...katanya bagi chance kat mommy rasa naik shinkan last...hahaha)... arrived in tokyo about 2 hours later.... and seriously the shinkan ride was not really fun for me... maybe cause i'm preggers kot....rasa panas yang teramat mcm ada org direct the heater straight at my face....

anyway sampai tokyo and the hunt for the coin lockers began....last last we had to put our bags in 2 separate lockers in 2 separate locations because most of them were full...settle bab luggage kitorg gerak gi ueno... hahaha...last2 g ueno jugak...i really didn't feel like going places that he wasn't familiar with....mls nak sesat2 ni...had lunch at a maguro shop... and yes i know raw fish isn't good for preggie women but i couldn't resist....later we went in search of the nearest SOFTBANK...nak matikan phone..which surprisingly to no more than 10 minutes...and then baru lah the shopping began... since it was nearing the new year celebrations..banyak gile kat ameyko for their celebrations...polis pun ramai utk direct the pedestrian traffic...but all in all i enjoyed it... janji kat diri nak cuci mata je..klu nak aim pun...beg mcm yang ainun punya to use as a baby bag nanti...tp cr punya cr tak jumpa yang berkenan di hati...last last hubby deary picked out a green adidas bag...bg lah chance kat dia... at least if he chose it he wouldn't mind holding it nanti...klu beli yang bunga2 mau dia tak mo tlg angkat hahahaha....

after that we made a pit stop at starbucks and headed back to tokyo station to  get our bags and leave for haneda international airport...

haneda airport....loved how they designed the level where all the restaurants were...lawa sangat.... ran into some friends mainly my batchmate doink and hubby's batchmate boss both heading back to msia for the holidays...

the flight was a nightmare for me.... again..i blame it on being pregnant and extra hot .....hahah since nobody else seemed to be feeling warm... my thoughts on air asia's flight...surprisingly there was sufficient leg room...not at all like the domestic air asia flights...but the seats were narrower...lagi narrow dr seat bas express kot..so your shoulders will definitely berlaga with whoever is next to you....

back to the nightmare of a flight...i had on a pair of long johns to ward of the winter chill...but they were never a problem when i flew back during previous winter months...but this time i just couldn't take it...hubby fell asleep soon after take off...and i just couldn't sleep beacuse of the heat..plus you can't adjust the temperature in the flight...so finally after a few trips to the toilet and the removal of my long johns...barulah i can breathe easy ...and finally i doezed off...

when we arrived in malaysia i tried to put on my shoes only to discover that my feet had swollen humongously...hahah...punyalah kaki tak pernah bengkak sebelum ni..terkejut... and the swelling took 3 days to go down...3 days...okay....

all in all that's how the journey went... when i left japan i didn7t really feel sad..it felt like i was going back for the holidays and not for good... but somehow i guess it's better to feel that way... however i was sad when i drove our fist car for the last time...bye bye wheelie.. be a good car to your new owner okay... seday...balik msia i'm 'kaki'less...kena depend on my parents to get around... so tak best...

busy busy busy day....

selepas trip ke 免許センター ditunda sekali n a little problem (rupanya boleh 更新 lesen untuk org tua ngan org naik lesen GOLD je...sheesh..next time read the fine print syaz!!!) we encountered yesterday...finally finally....saya sekarang pemegang lesen biru hak hak hak...... no more lesen hijau....hihi

mesti korg tgh pkir kan apelah lesen biru lesen hijau ni...haaaaa...lesen hijau tu utk pemeggang lesen bawah dua tahun...tak kira lah org tu lesen P ke atau mcm saya bukan lesen P tp baru tukar lesen jepun dia dpt lesen hijau...n after 2 years you get to go through what i just went through... a 2 hour lecture...and wallah....you get a new spick and span lesen biru

lecture tu kasi refresh balik rules semasa memandu di jalan raya....siap ada video lagi on different types of scenarios that might cause accidents... bnyk jugak statistik keluar td... pasal  penyebab utama kematian... umur mangsa2 kemalangan... statistik tentang bilangan kematian yang dapat dicegah sekiranya mangsa memakai tali pinggang keledar...n mcm2 lagi... tp yang paling diorg 注目 (pay attention) skali pasal drunk driving...

after the lecture ended the man in charge called out our names and gave us our new licenses...and the dia suruh gi check kat data kata mesin sebab start bulan 10 hari tu lesen baru ni semua ada IC siap ada 暗証番号 lagi... mcm2 la....

anyway petang ni nak ke 豊橋港 sana tu ...nak gi  入国管理....nak kena settle benda lain plak...just waiting for hubby to get back from lab...dah settle seme ni then i can breathe easier...less than 2 weeks to go.....bye bye japan

the kitchen is not my friend....again....


roti canai yang ku idam idamkan...hihhihi


don't know if it's a relapse of the first trimester...but i've started losing my appetite again...and the ticking clock shows that it's almost 6pm...nak tak nak kena masuk dapur jugak...klu tak nak bg mkn ape kat hubby kan...i think mlm ni kena start balik tanya si dia hari2 nak makan ape...beacause the taught of food is starting to make me want to barf again....just like masa first trimester dulu.... there's only one thing i really wanna eat right now....ROTI CANAI....tak pe2 sabar2 lagi 3 weeks insyAllah merasa la roti canai kasi banjir satu hahahahaha......kenapalah restoran india kat jepun ni tak jual ek?hihi...serious tak mo masuk dapur...tapi tak mo makan luar.....huaaaaa....shoganainaaaa

i think i over did it.....

mentang2 lah second trimester ni has been going really well....lansung tak sedar tahap kemampuan diri sendiri.....

last wednesday pergi jd drebar untuk budak lab baru hubby yang baru sampai ngan family dia dr india  yang nak beli brg2 masuk umah.... hubby budget it will take only 2 hours...ooo machigai....haha last2 it took 9 hours...biasalah kan banyak nak beli...dan ni shopping utk family...nak beli futon set je dah sejam kamo... i was expecting that..so tak terkejut pun...and yang peliknya...dah hantar diorg balik ke hotel baru nak rasa penat....

today pulak ada tetamu nak datang tumpang tdo...so dr last week dok mengemas umah....sbb skang tgh dlm proses packing keadaan umah ni lagi hidoi dr biasa...n me being someone yang not very good at housekeeping...well ...let's just say it took me awhile to get it cleared....

anyway ...back to the 'knowing your limits' subject...pregnant women PLEASE refrain fromgetting down on your arms and knees to clean the floor...coz that's what i did..and seriuos sakit gile belakang semlm...when i straightened my back rasa mcm tulang ter'snap'...awwwww.... n then pergi pandai2 isi beras dlm bekas beras because hubby dearie terlupa nak buat sebelum gi lab....haa bagus...

kesimpulannya ladies...even though you feel you're strong enough to do these simple2 tasks...there's a reason why doctors and your mother tell you not to...it's all for your own good...nanti jadi like me...sakit badan mcm gi jungke trekking seminggu...hahahaha

Friday, November 19, 2010

Ohhhhh...bila kita semakin tua....

hua hua hua.....forgetful forgetful me....menu dah tetap dah...siap check balik ngan hubby tgh hr td apa nak beli...n then i get to the store...i pilih2 the brg (sambil tick2 checklist dlm otak)...oppps main ingredient tertinggal patah balik,ambik main ingredient, i pay, i pack the stuff, i drive home...siampai umah bukak tudung seme n then...alamak...baking powder lupaaaaaaaaa...... dan dgn bestnye mula lah buka tnet cari substitute baking powder...haaa rupanya if you have baking soda and cream of tartar (or buttermilk) boleh je buat.....tapi apakan daya i ran out of baking soda tooooooo.....tp sgtlah malas nak kluar balik just for the baking powder....so how....kita makan ape yang ada je lah sayang...boleh kan boleh kannnnn kan kan kann...hiiiii...

bila tanggal bertukar menjadi umur suku abad menyusul tiba...

banyak nye nak cite....

A lot's been going on lately...starting with hubby's trip to US to packing to go back to Malaysia(yang still tak hbs2 lg) and now i totally engrossed in browsing baby stuff on online shops in Malaysia. All in all, blog ni tak bergeraklah gamaknya... anyway, sejak jaga alauddin n tgk kak nadia with hajiq I've been seriously thinking of breastfeeding even after starting work... and when u say breastfeeding while working....you'll need to purchase a breastpump...dulu2 dah browse tapi berenti jap n then i was spurred into action again by dart's baby list...kira keluar balik semangat nak browse ni kan... another thing i've been studying up on seriously is cloth diapers...don't know anyone who uses them here in Toyohashi so tak boleh nak tanya lebih2...but i first came across cloth diapers a long time ago...masa kat Fukui lagi rasanya...i don't think i was even married yet at the time...tak igtlah cam ne... anyway untuk yang tak tahu tu cloth diapers ni kira cam lampin kot, tapi bukan pakai buang. Ada macam2 jenis rupanya All-in-One lah, Pocket Diapers lah, Prefold lah....mcm2 ada and each come with it's own pros and cons....

so my goal now is to study up on breastfeeding, breastpumps, and cloth diapers...this website has been helpful as the owners actually use the cloth diapers...

oklah...nanti sambung lagi..got somewhere to go

hubby's new toy....

hubby's got a new toy....his new iphone 4...dah lama dh dpt tp skang br nak cite skit about that 'thing'...u should have seen him the day we went to the softbank shop to pick it up.....dlm kete tu dia dah sibuk nak pasang the cover we bought earlier that day dekat yamada denki...tak sempat2 nak balik umah dulu...takut calar datte...masa tu gelak je la kan haha....

then bila sampai rumah he made me put the protective cover on the screen... i'm not good with sagyo2 yang komakai ni...but he insisted so buat jugak la.....n then i did the unthinkable... i accidentally dropped the 'thing'...aiyoyo...you should have seen his face...tergamam...dia punya lah nak jaga benda tu n i dropped it....i dropped it....aisehhhh...

later that night we went over to the boys place...sbb ada org tu nak berguru...then came the excitement over the apps n games n what not kan...i admit saya pun jd muchuu jap...

i wasn't until later that i started feeling this slight resentment towards the thing....as you all know my hubby spends a lot of time at lab kan...so the litlle amount of time that i have to talk to him is usually before we sleep kan...well sejak ada that 'thing'...dia main game on the bed...mcm mane nak pillow talk kan....can anybody seriously tell me that they won't feel even the slightest ache to want to throw that 'thing' away...or perhaps lock it up sampai esok pagi? can you?

baru skrg i understand how my cousins very sweet wife pun bley rasa nk baling her husband's PS2..same thing different gadget...so a liitle advice to the guys out there...we get that you want to get rid of your stress..and we get that new toys are really exciting...but our patience has a limit..and if that 'thing' takes away even a little bit of  what little precious time that we get out of your hectic lives...even the most understanding wife would get a little pissed.....

mood swings....

hmmmm....kalau nak ikutkan..mood swings haven't affected me much...tapi jadi overly sensitive tu yes....compared to before i got pregnant mcm 10X lg sensitive kot...hehe..sian hubby...silap ckp sikit je meraung la saya....

the other day...dok mengemas baju2...deciding which ones to give away n which one to keep n which one to throw...so mestilah try satu2 kan...n i asked hubby...'rasa2 nye blh pakai lagi tak baju ni?'...n hubby deary terjawab in a way that made me feel FAT....i mean really FAT...bila pkir2 blk ape yang dia ckp tu tak imply pun that i'm fat...i was just over sensitive...and me being a a stage where i don't really look pregnant.. i just look like i have a big spare tire around my belly...so super duper rasa like i'm FAT la kan....ape lagi meraung la lepas tu...

took a pic while i was trying out the clothes tp hubby dh bwk camera ke US so tak ley nak upload hua hua hua.....

introducing our little tyke or princess......

hello peeps !!!!

punye la lama tak berblog.... and even though ramadhan dah hampir half over...i would like to wish to everyone happy fasting ... semoga ramadhan kali ini lebih bermakna dari yang lepas...speaking of 'bermakna'... untuk kami berdua semamngnya 'bermakna'...so tanpa berlengah lagi...i would like to introduce our little tyke or princess.....

baby's first ultrasound ( gestational age: 6 weeks 3 days, CRL:4.8mm)
 
anyway...before i start 'storytelling' about our precious new gift i would like to warn the readers out there that i plan to be particularly straightforward okay.....because i think that other mothers-to-be should be given straightforward answers to even the silliest questions and because i find that knowing more eases my anxiety about certain things.... some women are reluctant to share their experiences for fear that they might scare the younger generation with the real 'gory details' that accompany bringing a new life into the world....with that in mind...sesape yang rasa dia ngilu ke ape ke bila cakap pasal branak2 please be fully warned...hihi....

ok berbalik pada cerita baby kami....

(nak guna gaya penulisan nadiah masa dia bercerita tentang pengalaman dia....nadiah if you don't like me linking your blog to mine bagi tau ye)

week 1-4:

oh by the way..doctors count the baby's gestational age according to the first day of your last period...tujuannya...lagi senang kalau guna tarikh ni yang most women pun chart down kan ..lebih seikaku compared to kalau nak kira ikut the day the baby was conceived..sbb serius susah nak determine hari tu betul.....

anyway masa ni of course la tatau pape kan...just hoping and all....

week 5:
dah tak leh duk diam...i missed my period but didn't want to get my hopes up...itching to take a pregnancy test tp kalau nak result test accurate you have to wait at lest until you a week late....so finally day 37 came.... buat test sorang2 kat rumah (hubby had no idea...hihihi)... checked the packaging to make sure i didn't need to use the first urine of the day and tooke the test....the first line came up...tp masa to i told myself don't get your hopes up..tu line contoh je tu...tunggu result dia seminit...serius lama gile seminit tu ....haha and then there's the second line....yippeeeeeee.....tapi yang paling kelakar nye it turns out the first line was the 'hantei' line yang second tu yang contoh upanya...what laaaaa.... mlm tu bg tau hubby..(but that's a story i wanna save for ourselves hihi)

took a second pregnancy test on day 42 just to make sure before calling up the maternity clinic to schedule a check-up..but that's another story.....

week 6:
had my first prenatal check-up on day 46...went with hubby tapi malangnya clinic to nye polisi laki tak leh masuk kat dlm tu...huwaaaa.. first2 kena isi borang dia tanya pasal date of the first day of you last period...tanya result pregnancy test..tanya pasal family health history..after that kena interview ngan nurse plak...she asked the same questions, maybe nak double check everything kot...and then we did some more waiting.... baru lah masuk jumap doc and guess what i got the head of the clinic as my doc... masuk masuk dia tanya.. how are you feeling?...uhh tergamam kejap...ingatkan dia nak tanya soalan lagi susah drpd tu ( hehe mcm interview lak)....pastu dia kata ...ok kita buat 内診 (internal examination).... plainly put..activity seluk menyeluk la.... sape yang nak ngilu2 tu stop reading here ye....igtkan nak explain seme tapi just to keep it simple...first the doc used her fingers, then came the speculum ( seriius uncomfortable), and last2 the ultrasound transducer....yes people gambar ultrasound kata atas tu was taken using an intravaginal ultrasound ye bukan yang ultarsound atas perut tu....anyway the baby at that time was already 4.8mm in length from crown to rump (panjang dr kepala ke punggung)dah ada heartbeat dah....laju gile...tapi saya tak lah 'teruja' sgt masa tu...maybe hampa sebab tak leh share the moment with hubby....dah habis tu dia bagi tau estimated due date (E.D.D)...which is the date in the picture.... 2011.3.8.. another 197days to go......yeheee 

will update more ...anyway here's the latest ultrasound of our baby....masa ni rancak je dia bergerak ..tu snap masa dia tgh pandang arah transducer tu...hiiiiii
 baby's third ultrasound ( gestational age:11 weeks 3 days, CRL:48.2mm)

hoping and praying  everything goes well...genki na akachan umitai desu!!!!!

p/s: kitorg dua dua tgh gile lagu mia sara cerita papadom tu...ting ting ting.... tu hubby tgh nyanyi kat dapur tu..hihiiiiiii

big decisions....

when you grow up you have to make decisions on your own and not have someone else make them for you...sometimes you get help in making the decision...and sometimes you don't really like the decision you make but have to deal with it coz it's the best way to go....

when i think of decisions i remember the poem by robert frost that we learned in form 4 about the road not taken...somehow that poem has always stuck in my mind

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


so today i made a decision...a big one albeit a bit rushed..i didn't look down that road as far as i could...coz i'll be making a detour (pretty sure bout this...but not happy bout it) in a few months time... i'm taking the road less traveled by (well less traveled maybe never been traveled by fellow malaysians in toyohashi)... and i'm feeling a bit anxious about it although hubby ensures me that if i don't like it or if the fare costs too much...we can make a u-turn and come back to the place where the road diverged...and go down the other road....
