My Blog

Have you filed your income tax? Hehe.. saja tanya.

My head is spinning round and round. I don’t know if it is because of the large dose of Nescafe I consumed today, or the never ending tasks I received today (not that I’ve finished my earlier assignments), or the pressure I’ve been endured of late.

You see, I’m a neat freak. Well, almost. Everything must be done in an organized way. When I was younger (ehem, tau pun dah tua), lagi teruk sampai my friends takut nak pinjam CD I sebab disusun alphabetically. Now mana pakai CD lagi ye dak? Everything downloaded from the Web.

Aiseh, dah menyimpang. Back to my story. Since masuk keje, my schedule jadi packed sgt. I’ve tried to adhere to a daily schedule I buat masa confinement. X jalan.. I ni kuat tido. Sib baik ada maid tolong prepkan Alya for tadika. I just wake her up every morning.

Off to work. Kalau nasib baik, Boss xde. Selamat.. Can concentrate on whatever I am doing. Mostly paperwork la. Isi kandungan dah tentu kena buat betul2. Font, alignment, text size, etc pun nak kena tgk gak kan? Mgmt bukan main kira lagi pasal benda2 ni.

Tgh dok concentrate, Boss call. HQ minta data inpromptu. After that plak, SMS/email. Memo kena reject, auditors are coming next week/month, attend courses/training. Mana x pening? Sampai tulis blog ni pun in Manglish/bahasa rojak. Punah English aku.

Kerja 8:00 to 17:30. Selalunya lajak smpi 19:00. Balik anak2 dah tunggu Mama. Idris needs to be fed, Alya needs assistance with homework and Ilyas needs playing buddies. In Abah is around, Mama can focus on Idris. This week, Abah is working evening shift. Mama has to become Super Mom. Sigh.

Happy memang happy coz you have times with your kids. I believe most mothers out there are like myself (by the way, Happy Mother’s Day!). I’m still OK so I think that’s good. I am blessed with a very loving, caring and understanding husband, friends I can confide to, colleagues who share the work load.

So, that is all. Saja nak meluah perasaan. Apa guna blog if you don’t use it, right?

I wish my blog could be more personalized. I mean, with graphics n everything.
However, due to my ICT illiteracy n lack of motivation, i resort to words je lah.

My mom’s garden revolves around her house. I jokingly told my mom that it looks more like a jungle than a garden. She n her maid plant a variety of species - flowers, herbs, veggies. I’ll upload some photos later.

Terpanggil nak cerita ni bukannya apa. I’ve come to realize byk gunanya kita berkebun ni. During my confinement je, the plant that is most useful is the mengkudu. The daun to wrap my tungku, the pucuk boiled to eat as ulam. Sib baik my mom x paksa makan buah dia this year. Ee.. x sedap! The fresh ulam pegaga is yummy, too. Toksah cerita la pasal all the dauns to mandi - sirih, inai, serai wangi, pandan.

If my mom nak masak a complete dish pun boleh, x yah g pasar except to buy ikan, etc. She has terung, bendi, cili padi, kacang bendi, kacang botol, terung pipit/belanda, pisang, pucuk ubi, kucai, petola, bunga kantan, daun kunyit, kelapa, ayam (x termasuk dlm kategori pokok ;). Dessert pun ada - mempelam, jambu air, nenas, betik, rambutan, sukun.

Bunga pun bermacam2 jenis. The ones I can name are orchids, rose, jasmine n bunga butang. Yg lain x tau apa namanya

The irony is, my mom doesn’t live in a kampung. Leh buat homestay la macam my mom’s friend cakap

I’ll surely miss here when we go back to Melaka this weekend. I’m sure my mom will miss us, too.

Assalamu’alaikum. Finally, after a week past EDD (which was supposed to be on the 4th or 7th), Idris Hilmi was born on the 9th of Feb at 13:58, 3.35 kg. Alhamdulillah..

He was the quickest but sakitnya, MasyaALLAH.. ALLAH aje yg tahu. I was induced at 12:00 even though I had natural contractions. Flat gila! I had never experienced that with my previous SVDs.

Now Idris is already 3.8 kg. Cepat baby membesar. I’ll post his pictures soon, insyaALLAH.

By the way, congratulations Ake & Aini. Baru nak pesan, man man dulu nak anak no. 3. Sekali dah ada da..

Hi y’all. Today I dah masuk 37 weeks. The dr at HPAK kata since I delivered my couple full term before, so I guess I’ve to endure 3 more weeks before this delivery. Huh.. penat seh.. Can’t wait for the moment to arrive. Hmm.. tp still takut2 gak e/though this is the 3rd one. Hopefully he’s not very big like his brother (Ilyas was 3.75 kg!).

The best part is, this week last keje before pre-maternity leave. Yay! Dah besau2 cam ni mmg xde mood nak keje coz xleh nak all out. Buat keje pun takat cukup syarat. Hehe.. sorry, Bos!

So, maybe ni last blog before deliver kot. I think my mom dah dc Streamyx kat Ipoh sebab xde sapa guna. Hence, sesapa yg baca blog ni, thanks a lot la ye and pls do’a I deliver safely.

Aiyoh! Sangatlah malas nak pegi keje balik after a week long holiday. Rasa macam nak sambung cuti je sampai deliver, hehehe.. Sakit belakang (actually sakit tulang belikat my sister kata) is now consistent. Tu sebab malas nak keje, uncomfortable whenever you sit in front of the computer.

Went to ISH last Friday to have myself checked up before delivery. Baby’s doing fine. Dah canggih the u/sound machine. Siap leh nampak muka baby. Hidung just like mine, kembang hehehe.. Another baby boy, InsyaALLAH. Can’t wait for him to keluar. Mama dah x larat dah nak bawa adik!!

Perut semakin membesar dan menurun. It freaks me out even though this is my 3rd child. I’m getting back pain and restless nights more often. Nak g kerja pun x larat. This raya will go back to Ipoh to see my parents & the in-laws. Nak hantar baby stuffs & see the doctor, too. Every pregnancy aku mesti balik Ipoh to deliver at Ipoh Specialist.

Along has missed out another gold. Better luck next time, Bro! Dengar cite kete kena curi. Ye ke? Sabar la ye..

Iszrin is getting engaged. Tahniah, girl! Bila abe-abe u nak ikut jejak u?

This could be my last blog before I pop. Almaklumlah mak ni kan jenis malas nak post blog.

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha & Merry Xmas to all friends.

Raya is less than a week now. Thursday evening we will start our journey back to Ipoh. Hopefully kereta tak banyak like last year.

Meanwhile, pregnancy is only at 23 weeks but baby’s kicking like Lampard/Drogba in my tummy. Tau kot Abah dia a devoted Chelsea fan (even though Abah dia cakap tak nak sokong Chelsea this season). Hmm.. maybe he feels challenged by elder brother who excellently kicks with his left foot.

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya Puasa to all Muslims. Maaf zahir and batin.

Yes, some of you have guessed it right. I’m 5-month pregnant! Even an engineer can miscalculate

And for the rest of you out there, Selamat Berpuasa.
