Meon oh Meon...
Meon (real name withheld) adalah seorang pemandu yang bekerja di jabatan kerajaan. Kerjanya membawa bosnya dari satu destinasi ke satu destinasi. Meon bernasib baik sebab rumah bosnya tidak jauh dari rumahnya. Meon ada motosikal Yamaha Legend. Setiap pagi dia membawa motor dan parking dirumah bosnya dan menaiki kereta bosnya itu ke tempat kerja. Meon ada seorang kawan, Rustam (real name withheld also) yang baru jer mendapat kerja di sebuah syarikat penghantaran barang.
Walaupun tugasnya bukan menghantar barang (sebagai customer service), dia memerlukan motosikal untuk berulang-alik ke tempat kerjanya. Maklumlah bas awam sekarang teramatlah susah. Boleh dikatakan di tempat Meon dan Rustam tinggal, bas hanya akan lalu setengah jam sekali jer. Itupun nasib kalau bas tu nak berenti, kalau tak bas tu tak akan berhenti kalau sudah penuh di mana ia dipenuhi dengan expats (Bangla, Myanmar, Indon, Vietnam dsb) yang ingin ke tempat kerje mereka. Memandangkan Rustam tidak mempunyai motosikal, Meon dengan berbesar hati meminjamkan motorsikalnya kepada Rustam dengan syarat, Rustam kena hantar Meon ke rumah bosnya setiap pagi sebelum Rustam boleh bawak motor tu pergi keje dan kena pula mengambil Meon pada waktu balik setiap hari.
Minggu pertama, keadaan looks ok di mana Rustam dengan taatnya pergi menghantar dan mengambil Meon setiap kali Meon nak pergi dan balik keje. Masuk minggu ketiga, Meon sudah mula menalipon jirannya, Shaari (bukan nama sebenar) untuk tolong mengambilnya di rumah bosnya kerana dia cuba menghubungi Rustam tetapi telefonnya tidak berjawab. Masalah berlarutan masuk minggu-minggu yang berikutnya. Dalam seminggu boleh dikatakan Rustam hanya menghantar dan mengambil Meon 2-3 kali sahaja.
Walaubagaimanapun, Meon tetap cool memandangkan dia tak boleh nak cakap apa ngan Rustam sebab dia fikir dia nak melepak rumah Rustam pada hujung minggu di rumah Rustam dan bila orang rumah Rustam dan anak-anak akan balik ke Shah Alam rumah ibubapanya. Tetapi yang menjadi mangsa skandal hantar menghantar ni adalah Shaari kerana Shaari adalah sumber terdekat Meon untuk menghantar dan mengambilnya.
Orang rumah Shaari mula-mula jeling-jeling tapi cool jer sebab tolong menolong tu kan adat hidup berjiran, tetapi mana boleh jadi sebab mereka suami isteri selalu terlambat pergi keje sebab Shaari kena tolong hantar Meon setiap pagi kerana Rustam tak nampak-nampak bayangnya. Kalau bukan Meon yang mengetuk pintu Shaari tiap pagi, Meon akan hantar proxy iaitu emaknya yang datang tolong mintak hantarkan Meon ke rumah bosnya. Melihat keadaan itu, Shaari suami isteri rasa tak sampai hati plak nak biarkan Meon terlambat lagi ke rumah bosnya kerana pernah sekali Meon ditinggalkan oleh bosnya sebab bosnya dah tak larat nak tunggu Meon dan mengambil keputusan memandu sendiri ke tempat kerja.
Keesokannya Meon dipanggil oleh HR pejabatnya bekerja dan diberi amaran pertama. Menurut emaknya, dia taknak lagi Meon kehilangan kerja. Ni dah elok dah ni keje gomen. Umur Meon pun bukannya muda lagi, kalau boleh dia nak Meon stabil dari segi kewangan dan boleh lah dikahwinkan Meon itu.
Bukannya mak Meon tak masuk campur dalam kes Meon meminjamkan motor kepada Rustam ni, dah berbuih mulut mak dia menasihat Meon supaya mengambil balik motornya daripada Rustam memandangkan Rustam yang agak tak berdisiplin dalam rutin mengambil dan menghantar Meon, tapi jawapan Meon, kesiankan Rustam, susah nak berulang-alik pergi kerja dan ambik anak-anaknya dari sekolah. Lagipun mak, dia jaga motor orang elok. Mendengarkan tu, mak Meon diam sebab make sense jugak apa Meon cakap ni, tapi orang macam tu, kita nak kesiankan kat dia, dia ada ker kesiankan kat kita, susah-payah kejutkan orang tengah tidur pagi-pagi mintak tolong hantarkan anak dia. Mak Meon terpaksa mengambil approach lain. Pagi-pagi, masa Rustam tengah tunggu Meon siap-siap nak pergi keje, dia slow talk ngan Rustam betapa susahnya Meon kalau Rustam buat tak tau jer taknak ambik dan hantar Meon macam biasa. Kalau dah deal hari-hari mesti hantar dan ambik, ikut jer la perjanjian tu. Jangan la berdolak-dalih keluar la, takder kat rumah la, tak boleh nak ambik dan hantar Meon la dan macam-macam lagi. Stick to that arrangement, kata mak Meon. Awak dah ada komitmen, iaitu hantar dan ambik Meon kerja, kena la jaga skit. Tak boleh la nak keluar dan balik sesuka hati. Kalau boleh standby la kat rumah, awak dah pakai motor orang kan..
Begitu panjang lebar mak Meon ‘membasuh’ Rustam. Rustam hanya mengangguk-angguk dan tertunduk sendu.
Ingatkan insiden itu sedikit sebanyak menyedarkan Rustam, rupa-rupanya tak. Hanya beberapa hari jer dia taat dan tekun menghantar Meon, selepas itu seperti biasa dia menghilang, tak nak mengangkat telefon jika Meon call, memberi bermacam-macam alasan untuk tak mengangkat Meon dari tempat kerjanya. Nak tak nak, masalah Meon itu berbalik jugak kepada Shaari, dan seperti hari-hari sebelumnya, Shaari pulak yang kena menghantar Meon setiap pagi ke rumah bosnya. Shaari buat-buat pekak bila orang rumahnya dah mula warm-up enjin nak berleter pasal si Meon punya kes ni sampai nama si orang rumah Rustam pun naik. Yang si Meon pulak, beraksi seperti dia tak membuat apa-apa kesalahan dan seperti biasa menggunakan khidmat Shaari kerana dia tahu Shaari tidak pernah menghampakan dia dari segi nak menghantar dan mengambilnya dan meminjamkan motornya kepada Meon bila mak Meon suruh pergi kedai. Pernah satu kali tu, dia balik jalan kaki pukul 2 pagi sebab si Rustam tak ‘on-call’ dan Shaari tak angkat tipon sebab dah tidur penat melayan anaknya. Ketika cerita ini ditulis, Meon masih tidak mengambil motornya daripada Rustam, malahan berjumpanya pun tidak sebab si Rustam macam nak mengelak daripada berjumpa Meon walhal dia pakai motor mamat tu.
Moral yang kita dapat dari cerita ini:
1. Memangla menolong orang itu satu amalan murni, tapi make sure perbuatan kita menolong orang tu tak akan menyusahkan orang lain plak.Tak berjangkit-jangkit..tul tak? Kalau kita tolong orang, tapi hakikatnya kita buat orang lain plak bengang, tak guna jugak, tul tak? Betul, betul, betul.
2. Sebelum nak tolong orang, buat la research sikit pasal mamat yang kita nak tolong tu. Kalau rekod dia buruk sebelum ni, tak payah la. Kan dah susah macam Meon ni.
3. Antara sebab lain Meon tak nak mintak motor dia dari Rustam sebab dia nak melepak rumah Rustam kalau orang rumah Rustam takder. Hello, ko kan ada rumah. Apa kes nak duduk rumah orang.
4. Nasihat, kalau kita pakai harta orang, berpada-pada la bro, berbudi bahasa skit, ok.. kalau tak boleh ambik sekalipun, tipon la bro cakap tak boleh ambik, orang lain boleh standby tolong ambikkan pukul 2 pagi sekalipun.
5. Dah, tak guna cakap banyak-banyak. Dua dua pun sama terejal, baik Meon atau Rustam.
Never give cold or cough medicine to a child younger than 2..
FDA considers banning OTC cold medicine for kids
Thu, Oct 2, 2008 (HealthDay News) — After recommending earlier this year that children under the age of 2 not receive over-the-counter cold medicines, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday is meeting with the public to help answer an even more important question: Should kids' cold medicines remain "OTC" at all?
The issue is not a new one for regulatory bodies or the public.
In January, the FDA issued an updated health advisory recommending that over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold preparations not be used to treat children under the age of 2 due to the possibility of life-threatening complications. These products include decongestants, expectorants, antihistamines and cough suppressants.
Just prior to the advisory, the makers of dozens of cough and cold remedies marketed for infants voluntarily recalled the products.
Despite scant evidence that such remedies are actually effective in children or adults, an estimated 10 percent of American kids take one or more cough and cold medications during a given week.
Yet the preparations can do more harm than good, research suggests.
An FDA review of records filed with the agency between 1969 and September 2006 found 54 reports of deaths in children associated with decongestant medicines made with pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine or ephedrine. It also found 69 reports of deaths associated with antihistamine medicines containing diphenhydramine, brompheniramine or chlorpheniramine. Most of the deaths involved children younger than 2.
And the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that some 7,000 American children under the age of 11 are treated each year in hospital emergency rooms because of problems with cough and cold medications.
According to Dr. Michael Spigarelli, an assistant professor of pediatrics and internal medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, the recent debate originally stemmed from a lawsuit by a group of pediatricians who felt that cough and cold medicines were unsafe — or at least never proven to be safe. This led to the FDA's statement earlier this year regarding young children.
Spigarelli will be testifying at the hearings. "The current hearings are looking at a wider pediatric age range," he said.
"If the FDA takes those medications off the market, the impact on the public is unknown at this point," said Chanin Wright, a pediatric clinical specialist with Scott & White and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. "There's a risk that the parents would turn to adult formulations for their children which could potentially cause harm. I don't think the FDA wants that so they're asking for expert opinion."
In addition to considering whether these medications should be over-the-counter or prescription, the hearings will cover a wide swath of territory, including questions of dosing and age range.
One of the most provocative issues is that of testing: What types of studies, if any, should be conducted in children and how should these studies be designed and powered?
"Testing in children is intensively debated," said Spigarelli. "It is felt by the FDA and most regulatory authorities that it is unethical to test in children, which means that pediatricians and family medicine doctors are left prescribing off-label, because it's equally unethical to let a kid suffer."
According to Spigarelli, 150 or so drugs have been tested in children since the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, passed in 2002. The act extends the amount of time a pharmaceutical company has exclusive rights to market a drug if that company conducts studies in children of drugs the FDA thinks might be useful in younger age groups, he said.
But the reality remains that few drugs have actually been tested in pediatric populations, Spigarelli said.
"The world [notably, the European Union] has shifted to doing more testing on children, but most of the medications used on children have not been tested, and cough and cold medicines are in that category," he said.

I wonder why Malaysian government didn’t do anything about this. I know some clinics that prescribing these cold and cough drugs still at large. Ali since birth has some problem with his cough where phlegm prone to accumulate. We been to many doctors to get various opinions. Some said its normal until the child reach age 1, and some said the child will get asthma if not treated immediately. Also some said if you give your child so many medications, he tends to get phlegms. And some doctor prescribed sedative for God’s sake to help baby to sleep despite the irritation. I won’t risk my baby for such drugs. I discarded it once I get home. Until my big sister recommended me to go to see Dr. Nadir of Klinik Wangsa. He According to him, few possible factors that trigger the phlegm accumulation are:
1. Medication we mothers took during labor e.g: epidural la, pain killer la..
2. Various prescriptions. So many medications, so tiny little throat to give way..think..
3. The surrounding. You know dust, cat’s fur (oh!) can also cause this
Besides gets the phlegm out of the throat using the suction machine, he also suggested to steam air the baby for 15 minutes. Here how to:
1. Boil water in rice cooker (to get constant steaming)
2. Leave it on the floor
3. Get a stool. Sit and hold your baby with his tummy lies on your knee and baby’s face facing down the boiling rice cooker
4. Hold firmly esp his hands if you don’t want your baby fall into the rice cooker :D
5. At the same time, pat lightly (cupped your hand a little bit with all your 5 fingers close to each other, no hole my dear. This to minimize the pressure) on baby’s back. Pat a little side way left and right.
6. Steam for 15 minutes
7. Recommend to do 2-3 times a day. The often you do that, the better your baby will get. This to soften the phlegm.
8. The patting stuff is to let the melted phlegm gets into the stomach.
I know it’s quite troublesome/tedious, but trust me it helps a lot. It save your trip to doctor to do the phlegm suction and it’s not good for babies if undergone it quite often. I believe there’s not many clinics or doctors are willing to do the suction (besides pediatrician clinics), we can count on Dr Nadir. He was a PD.
Alternatively, try some of these safe home remedies to soothe colds and flu.
1) Honey (not advisable for children under 1). Honey can soothe and coat the irritate throat.
2) A neti pot (never try. Looks scary)
3) Nose blowing
4) A bulb syringe
5) Vapor rubs
6) Gargling with salt water
7) Elevating the head
8) Lots of rest
9) Steamy air
10) Extra fluids
11) Chicken soup and other warm liquids
How to get to Dr. Nadir’s:
The clinic located at shophouses in front of Wangsa Maju’s Jaya Jusco Alpha Angle. Same row with Maybank and Bank Simpanan Nasional.

On Tak Puasa Experience..
Dah lama saya nak menulis pengalaman tak posa saya masa kecik-kecik (remaja pun ada sebenarnya). Memandangkan Ramadhan yang suci sudah berlalu, kira ok la tu cakap pasal perkara tak posa atau yg sengaja membatalkan posa.
Masa saya kecik dalam sekolah rendah saya memang orang yang kuat puasa kerana ada ganjarannya kalau dapat puasa penuh. Kami adik beradik berlumba-lumba nak dapatkan posa penuh. Posa penuh pun tak guna kalau tak buat 5 waktu tu kan. Kadang-kadang dek kerana terlalu penat balik dari sekolah naik basikal, saya ada la jugak minum air paip masa nak ambek wudhuk. Dahaga sungguh rasanya waktu tu. Bukan selalu, kadang-kadang jer kalau tak tahan sangat. Waktu menunggu masuk waktu berbuka kami isi dengan bermain batu seremban atau tidur di atas simen sejuk. Nyaman sungguh rasanya tapi mak selalu marah sebab bahaya nanti sakit dada dan urat, mak kata. Waktu berbuka adalah waktu yang paling indah sebab dapat makan. Semua (kami ada 9 adik beradik) taknak duduk tepi jug air sebab nanti asyik kena tuangkan air orang jer. Dah la suma meneguk air macam takder hari esok. Walaupun menu air hanya air sirap ada biji selasih di dalamnya, itu sudah cukup sedap bagi kami. Habis berbuka, macam biasa la, main bunga api. Setiap tahun kami tak ketandusan bunga api dan mercun sebab Pak Nan (pak sedara jauh kami) selalu datang bawak buah tangan mercun dan bunga api sebab dia nak ushar kakak kami yang sulung. (tapi takder jodoh kerana kakak sulung saya bertemu dengan seorang tentera laut semasa melanjutkan pelajaran di Bandar M setelah hampa kerana dia tak fit dari segi medikal untuk melanjutkan pelajarannya ker Indiana, US of A)
Masuk sekolah menengah, saya rasa saya dah cukup dewasa untuk membuat keputusan untuk tak nak posa. Biaser la, teenager kan.. Kalau rasa tak larat posa, saya dan adik perempuan bongsu saya pergi la lepak rumah Ecah Gagek sebab mak dia takder pergi keje. Kadang-kadang kami kami makan jajan jer, tapi kalau lapar sangat, kami goreng mee sanggul tanpa meninggalkan kesan-kesan bahawa dapur nyer sudah dipakai takut kena kantoi dengan emak dia. Dia selalu meluahkan perasaan dia tak nak bersubahat sama-sama tak posa tapi kebanyakannya dia sama-sama join tak posa, sapa tahan beb tengok mee sanggul panas berasap di tengah hari bulan posa. Rahsia ni kami pegang sampai sekarang cuma hari tu sudah terbongkar sebab adik bongsu saya tersilap hantar semasa berbalas-balas SMS dengan saya ke handphone seseorang yang rapat ngan saya. Harap dia tak membongkar kan rahsia ni kepada mak saya (anda tahu siapa anda…)
Bila dah masuk menengah tinggi, saya rajin menolong kawan sekelas saya berniaga di gerai makannya di Bandar S. Dia berniaga lauk pauk di pasar Ramadhan. Saya makan tengah hari kat situ. Saya benci untuk mengakuinya tapi itulah kenyataannya. Saya takkan nyatakan di sini samada kawan saya tu makan sekali ker tak sebab nanti dia akan pelangkung kepala saya kalau dia baca blog saya ni. Bila saya sedar saya ada opportunity untuk makan tengah hari di sana, saya kerap menolongnya berniaga. Saya terpaksa beri alasan kepada mak saya bahawa mereka tidak cukup kaki tangan untuk membantu di gerai hakikatnya saya hanya tolong sikit-sikit jer, makan yang banyak.
Keadaan bertambah kacau ketika saya melanjutkan pelajaran ke Menara Gading. Saya ingat kerana saya dapat housemate yang skema dan kuat sembahyang, saya akan lebih berdisplin dalam melakukan ibadah puasa. Tapi di sangka panas sampai ke petang, hujan plak di tengah hari. Tahun kedua saya ditempatkan di bilik lain bersama-sama senior-senior yang berlainan kursus. Saya bukan lalang, tapi saya cepat dipengaruhi. (blah la…) Bila jarum jam jenama Quartz saya mencecah ke angka dua belas malam, kami akan membuka meja untuk bermain poker sehingga la pagi sehingga waktu bersahur. Memang kami nampak berdosa, tapi kami tidak membuat apa apa taruhan, sekadar bermain. Tapi adakah menggunakan duit satu sen dikira berdosa jugak?
Tujuan saya menceritakan kisah ini bukan untuk menunjuk-nunjuk betapa lemahnya saya dalam menahan diri dari lapar dan dahaga. Saya juga tak bangga dengan apa yang saya lakukan dulu, tapi pengalaman itu buat saya sedar. Saya tinggal di negara yang berbilang bangsa dan agama, dan setiap individu bebas melakukan ibadah mereka tidak kira waktu dan tempat. Saya mensyukuri nikmat yang Allah berikan kepada saya. Dengan segala kemudahan yang disediakan, saya sepatutnya lebih bijak mengambil peluang dan kebebasan yang diberi. Melihat saudara Islam di negara lain yang agak tak bernasib baik ketika hendak melakukan ibadat merekan, contohnya masjid di Iraq yang dibom ketika penghuninya sedang menunaikan solat Jumaat, Tanzania massacre 10 tahun dulu di mana orang Islam yang baru saja usai solat Jumaat ditembak secara rambang sebaik sahaja keluar dari masjid, membuatkan saya lebih menghargai masa dan peluang yang saya dapat ini untuk lebih mendekatkan diri kepadaNya.
Kepada adik-adik yang ada terbaca blog akak ni, kalau rasa baru nak menjinak-jinakkan diri dalam tak puasa affair ni, fikir dulu banyak kali ok. Boleh tiru modus operandi akak di atas, tapi kalau kantoi, mak tanya, jangan mention akak punya blog ok?
xoxo,
Akak yang posa ‘penuh’ tahun ni…..

Al-Fatihah
My brother-in-law, Hishamuddin bin Osman (Achik) has passed away last Saturday morning, 23rd of August due to a sudden heart complications at HUKM. He died at the age of 45. A big brother to my loving husband, a son to my ailing mother-in-law and an uncle to my kids Umar and Ali. He will always remain within our hearts, and we have included him in our daily prayers. Al-Fatihah.
*The 7th day tahlil will be held at Zaini’s Guest House, Janda Baik, Pahang this Saturday after Isyak. Feel free to drop by.
Gone For Yonks..
I’m not sure how long ‘yonk’ is but it is good to be back to the outside world of me. The sleepless nights, poops, tantrums, cries for milk, wonder how I managed it all alone except for the 18 days in confinement that my mom came over to look after me. After 18 days she left me at the windowpane, teary eyes cause mom has other responsibilities. The rest of 26 days, I struggle bathing, dressing little Ali (it’ll take me 25 minutes each time), feeding, tuck him to sleep, tungku for myself (only few days after mom left, after that..gone), bengkung thing (also only for few days after mom left *grin*), simple cooking and surprisingly I made it through the 26 days alone. Of course Umar had to be sent to day babysitter cause if not little Ali will kena picit all the time when he pura-pura wanted to give him a kiss. All the time cause he is big enough to push chair and crawl into the baby cot. He’s already get around with his little brother now, generous with kisses and cuddles, help mom to throw baby Ali’s soiled diaper into dustbin, pick remote control for mom when she’s breastfeeding, switch on the fan, lock the door, halau kucing keluar, call Abah, look for mom’s handphone, etc. Even with little baby Ali around, I try to make time to give him a cuddle and pampering.
Caring for baby Ali wasn’t so difficult on the first few weeks just that his umbilical cord only tanggal on the 21st day. Normal babies will take about a week and not more that 10 days. Then, he had cough and blocked nose until he was 2 month-old. When the cough gone, his skin started become reddish and itchy. First I thought it was just the normal rashes due to the hot whether that triggers the break out. It turned out to be eczema as the rashes has become impetigo and had to be treated by the skin specialist. Now he’s getting better I guess. Syukur. Umar also got the same problem when he was a tiny baby. Obviously they inherit it from my husband. His are worst. Even now. You know eczema can’t be cured, but has to be treated periodically. Eczema sufferer has to stay away from soap, heat, dust and some doctors said stress too. Once I complained about our babies that prone to have whatever he has, but what he answered struck me as I should be grateful of what I’ve been through compare to other parents who has children with chronic diseases and only God knows how they feel seeing their little baby suffering at that young age. Not to mention their sleepless nights, medical bill that piling up etc. That was the day when I stopped complaining.
Now, me me me. I obviously put on weight. I put on weight. I put on weight. Even it dropped from 75kg (pregnant) to 65kg, I still fat or my sister called it ‘boyak’ (fat at certain parts like tummy, thighs, bum). I can’t fit in my work shirts, work pants, work blouses practically I can’t fit in anything! But I definitely can fit in kelambu *sigh*. So these few months, you can see me as a perempuan melayu terakhir with decent baju kurung as baju kurung never failed to give me a room for my boyak torso. If only I follow tips my mom gave me to buy clothes that little bit loose and few sizes bigger. Well, mom knows best. She just knew. I can’t afford to raid my wardrobe yet cause I keep my finger crossed that I’ll be back to my normal size soon. (Wish for it, cik perasan)
Contraception is different issue. I know I shouldn’t worry about it yet but it gives me headache of what to opt. Well, I tried the Pills. And here is the result. (or scroll down to previous post). Advise, too much information is bad. I made random survey amongst friends, colleagues on contraceptive they using/tried, all seems to have the pros on cons. Anyone out there has something to share? You better hurry cause my MIL has bringing up the issue to concentrate on only these two lil rascals first (thank God). She doesn’t think we are bad parents, she thinks we cannot afford having more children YET in terms on cost of living. Does she mean that I can be pregnant again when the fuel price went down sekupang per liter? That will be…like…never? I don’t mind having more children. It’s a matter of time, money and my capacity. People keep asking how does it feel now having a toddler less that 2 year old and a baby? I said I am beat but I content..…
xoxo gossipgurl :P
Namaku Ali...
Hello, my name is Ali Ar-Ridha. I weighed 4.07 kg at birth. I was born on Monday, 12th May 2008. Yes, I was one of hefty baby for the night. I came out naturally. Dunno how my mom did it. Somebody asked my mom whether I ate
Now I am 3 months old. I am camera shy? Not really. It because mom wanted to wait for my eczema rashes cooled down and he will take a picture of me. Picture here is when I was few days old. Do you know that now I’m weighing about 7.9kg? Haha..Well soon I can beat my big brother Umar cause he likes to punch and pinch me when mom isn’t looking. I can’t do anything but just stare and sometimes cry. I tried to not to cry but it hurt so much. Please don’t report it to the authority cause I know mom is trying her best adjusting her new life with toddler and a small baby. Sometimes our dad also gives her a headache.
Ok dokie. Till we meet again. I bet you ladees will see more of me in here. À bientôt.
Bye Bye Work, Hello Little One, Poops, Diapers and Tantrums
Ladees…probably this will be the very last entry of me as a mother of one, cause soon I’ll be blogging again as a mother of two (OMG! Aku nervous..). Hmm..let’s see...can’t be online at home, but I promise I will get somebody to post my baby pic in this blog (babe, you know who you are :P).. Starting next week, I’ll be resting at home, chilling out, with lots of Kegel exercises involved :P
Here an updates since March 28:
9 April - MIL was admitted to HUKM due to heart problem
25 April - Had heart surgery to put the pacemaker thingy inside.
She is recovering. Has to stay at SIL place resting and someone has to be around just in case.
The house? Rampant! by Asem (read: BIL). Sounds like new metal album title? No it isn’t. That’s is the now-phenomenon in that house since MIL is away at SIL’s place.. BIL keeps hosting a party all night long, 7 nights in a row and he hardly cleaning up the mess. At all! Can you imagine? So that was the day when I start to leave the dirty dishes in the sink. I let the house ran out of sugar and eggs. I leave dirty clothes on the floor. I leave dirty diapers in the bathroom. I purposely forget to scrub the bathroom. Cause I’m tired, heavy and stressful. I don’t care cause I’ll be moving out soon, as soon we finished painting the walls and fixing the cabinets. Not to mention the taps and the roof. There are so many things to do and so much money spent on it. I wish it all be over before the new arrival. (oh..guess what, we are renting MIL’s rumah sewa at the back :P). Call me silly but that’s her wish. To what extend can a heavily pregnant woman do to sabotage the plan? So, I just go with the flow. If things still can’t be straighten up, we move out. Outta here. To some strange place with confusing postcode and funny street names. Might be difficult but at least I’ll get a lil bit peace of mind.
Kampung, in other hand, has a different story. The two female jokers (read: mak sedaraku) are claiming my late father’s ciput land, I repeat my late father’s ciput land where we built our pusaka house and where my mother staying now. They claimed that their late brother, who is happened to be my late father, when he was still around, got one time mentioned to them female jokers verbally that the land will be given to them. Ko kata, dia kata. There’s no black and white indicates it theirs. So hi hi bye bye. You jokers gonna hire a lawyer. What?..he’s going to dig my father’s grave to get a testimony? Verbally..again. *lol. You both are real goatjesters. You already got your portion each, but you guys were so stupid you sold the precious land for how much you said that time 15 years ago? RM18K? And you know how much it is worth now? Them jokers are real losers *doing the chicken dance* And now nak tanah yang mak aku duduk plak…boleh jalan…
So, confinement in Teluk Penchalang is history. Mom said better for her to come here to take care of me. Afraid all the tanah chronicle and female jokers dispute somehow gets into me brain during confinement in kampung and all the meroyan thingy scares her..not me…Oh I love you mak..Selamat Hari Ibu in advance.

Kechik tagged me, again, on 15 pet peeves this time. Here:
1) Orang dewasa yg sihat walafiat yang tak cacat dan tak kudung yg taknak bagi tempat duduk dia kat orang tua, cacat, mengandung, makcik dukung anak samada dalam bas atau train tapi buat muka selamba atau buat-buat tidur tapi mata terbukak sikit-sikit atau buat-buat tak nampak sibuk fiddling henpon dia cek sms. Nak pulak kita berdiri sama sebelah makcik tua tu, rasa guilty giler. Rasa nak sepuk dia tapi ramai orang la plak.
2) Orang datang (read: pendatang dari seberang yg keje kat sini) yang berlagak nak mampus buat Negara ni mcam Negara dia buang sampah merata-rata, tak nak ikut peraturan, kerek di jalan raya dsb padahal kalau dia duduk kat Negara dia,nak naik bas aircond pun tak merasa. Memang dasar tak sedar di untung.
3) Orang yang potong barisan pastu buat2 muka confuse tak paham dengan barisan panjang yg sudah di buat di belakang. Camtu nyer orang pun ada. Lagi best masa dia tengah potong q tu dia buat2 cakap dalam tipon. Cool
4) Kechik’s number 11. Dah jumpa ramai. Paling tak best kita kena pretend buat muka interested dan teruja sebab takut dia ter offended. Tapi ada gak bangsa yg kalau kita buat muka boring, dia cakap gak macam takder perasaan. Sabar jer la….
5) Orang yang kita takleh cerita kita lebih dari dia sebab spontaneously he/she will outdo us back. Tak kira benda kecik atau beso. Sometimes we unintentionally nak cerita jer, but to them, we are trying to outdo them. Result, we have to listen to the crap that they are better than you (e.g. my dog can catch ball. His/her dog can make Nescafe 3-1. Go figure) Kat opis ni ada satu tapi sekarang dah ok skit sebab I just told it straight to her face and then ada la encountered a few from the past. How to handle this kind of people? Estrange. They are like cancer.
Gawd I can’t think another most 10 annoying ppl in my life:-
6) Orang yang tak reti cakap terima kasih after we did a favour for them walaupun tolong dia bukak pintu sekalipun. Stranger or orang yang dikenali sama jer. Aku bagi sebijik baru tahu.
I’m trying.....
7) Orang yang terlalu obses ngan ‘parti’ dia sampai kata sapa yang tak masuk parti dia tu, confirm masuk neraka. Logik ke tak? Apsal? Parti dia tu subsidiary syurga ker? Siapa dia nak tentukan sapa masuk neraka, sapa masuk syurga? Sembahyang 5 waktu tiap2 hari sekalipun belum tentu masuk syurga tau, bang. Ingat tu…Allah Taala lebih mengetahui kita ni sebenarnyer ikhlas ker atau purak2 ikhlas….
8) Orang yang suka kutuk orang lain depan kita regardless benda dia kutuk tu betul atau fitnah. Sukahati orang tu la nak buat apa-apa…Kutuk sikit2 udah ler. Tak yah le sampai kata dia tu kafir atau munafik. Biar la dia setel sendiri ngan Tuhan. Yang ko nak judge orang lebih2 ni apahal? How to handle this kind of people? Kutuk dia balik depan-depan..Hehehe.. Tapi.. tau tak macamana dia kutuk orang lain depan kita, macam tu la dia kutuk kita depan orang lain. So beware…
9) People who are too slow. In motion, making decision, talking to you taking a long cut with uhmm..apa nama…ala…etc. Hello, do I look like I have all the time in the world. Nak terkencing ni, cepat la cakap apa dia…
10) Orang yang taknak admit their own stupidity or ignorance. Sedangkan obviously it showed. What can I say……
I managed to put down 10. Ok la tu. Now will you excuse me, I have one living being inside my tummy to be pushed out.

It’s been a long time. I hardly update these days because..jeng jeng jeng….my other half has found out bout this blog…and am afraid I got carried away bitching about ma vie in Lot 52, Jalan Kuari. At 31 weeks, everything seems crucial. First, got tested for MGTT blood sugar test as I was suspected for diabetes as my weight has been sky rocketing from 65 to 68.5 in 2 weeks. It turned out that it just me with my big appetite craving from Jaya Jusco’s prawn “tako tao” to Coliseum lamb chop and everything lamb and beef (hmmm..did I hear somebody told me I shouldn’t watch my weight?…). Second, gynae diagnosed me with UTI (Urinary Tract Infections) as my pelvic bone ached so much I hardly walk and she prescribed me with antibiotics and something to poke inside from below manually. Damn..I did 3 out of 5 doses she gave me. Being in 3rd trimester, I got a little bit nervous about this one. Second time is more thrilled as I can already imagine myself lying on the stretcher in labor, how the pain will be like, stranger stroking, fondling your womanhood like some kind of newly-patented Fisher Price toy. Praise to Allah to give me strength to face this journey to the end. I’m not going to bitch about the baby’s gender here. Surprise surprise. Just wait and pray that I’ll be fine, okay..
You think I got my panic button ready?
1) Overnight hospital bag? Check.
2) Baby hand carrier? Check.
3) Maternity bras? Check. Got to buy a few more.
4) Nursing disposable pads? Check.
5) Baby bouncer? Check.
6) Lots of rarely used kain batik? Check.
7) Socks? Check.
8) Breast pump? Check. Preggers, opt for the manual suction one. The wiggling battery operated is harassing the breasts :P
9) Baby essentials. Check.
10) Ubat bersalin. Not yet. Still contemplating for the right one. Oh me with my chronic co*********n :P
On a lighter note, Umar is 16 months now. He runs instead of walking. Yes, all the time. He trips and he ups again. His vocabs has increased. He can utter

La mère de mon mari et "Mamat Teruja"
MIL got very stressed out when there’s a rumour (or was it confirmed?) that Faizal “Superman” Tahir (“FST”) won’t be performing at the Juara Lagu night. She keeps asking me whether I have latest info on the news whenever I got back from work and sometimes I stupidly joking that that guy will be banned forever and there’s a rumors that Government will shut the 8TV station completely. And I once heard she uttered “kenapa la b*d*h sangat dia tu..Juara Lagu tak sampai seminggu..dah buat hal”. She’s not FST fan but definitely she’s a fan of the industry. She doesn’t read newspaper everyday but obviously she keeps tab of the ‘outer’ world by watching the tube day and night, rain and hot. We even offered her to subscribe to the paid cable but she sheepishly and politely declined. We understand that nowadays not much quality programmes being aired on existed TV stations, but for her, all those international multi-bilingual soap operas are enough. (I bet know she doesn’t know about Astr0 Kirana, Aruna, Awana yet). : P
Well, back to the ‘Exhibit No. 1’, he was scheduled to sing 2 songs by 4 different songwriters/lyricists which is Maha Karya Cinta : Audi Mok / Mohd Shariza Shamsiri and Kasih Tercipta: Ajai / Shuhaimi Baba which in my personal opinion, Maha Karya Cinta will win the Juara Lagu title this year. But..what to do..ayam tak patuk, itik tak sudu.. He screwed up. Big time. Huge. Luckily the competition is for songwriters and lyricists. I hope who ever chosen to replace him to sing the two songs will do better.
From what I can remember from my shorter-than-goldfish memory (according to my lil sister cause she found out that sometimes I couldn’t recall few past incidents in my life..was it the weed? *sigh*) or since I can remember things and that was about when I was 2-3 years old, I don’t remember Amy Ses (Search) or Awie or any other so-called rockstars, gets so ‘teruja’ when performing live telecasting via national TV and strip. Let alone a former nasyid singer.
For those who wanted to see the pic, please google it at your own risk. I don’t want to cacat-kan my blog, occay. That sweaty flabby tummy, with a messy melting ‘S’ painted on the chest….not a pleasant sight, I tell you. Next time use a waterproof/sweat proof red marker or paint, Faizal. (Note: For useful tips and hints, go to m@rth@stew@rt.com. Am sure she has something. It’s a good thing)
Why I blog this? Dunno..maybe because his surname is same like mine (stupid excuse, salope) :D
I don’t hate him. I think it’s a good topic to blog, whaaaattt….
Bienvenue Deux Mille Huit
It’s 3rd Jan and I am way behind posting a New Year post. Happy New Year to all. I hope it’s not too late. I was on leave yesterday as most parents in this country had to sent their kids to start school new session for this year. Before this, I never been bothered nor affected with this crap married people mostly parents ‘ambik cuti anak nak masuk skolah’ thingy. But this time, I was affected as Umar caretaker had to sent her 6-year old kiddo for registration and ‘naik bas skolah’ training. And in 5-6 years time, R1pley’s Bel1eve it or Not I will be one of these peeps too! Feel just like yesterday aku main jongkang jongket kat
I never had a New Year resolution. I’m a go-getter. ‘Azam Tahun Baru’ (translated from New Year Resolution) sounds flippant and cliche (hehe..actually that’s me. I fall in that category). So My Go-Get for 2008 will be:
1) Find a way/reason to move out.
2) Keep fit and healthy (not necessarily thin) as I’ll have another little guy in 5 months time. F.A.I.N.T !
3) Allocate time for myself. Me me me and me. (Despite the chaos and craziness at home with 2 ninjas and bapak ninja)
4) Confinement in Kg Teluk Penchalang. Kalau tak dapat, strike! Kalau tak boleh jugak, larikk……
5) Tingkatkan prestasi, jauhi kontroversi (chewah macam tagline Melodi plak..)
6) To get more sleep (termasuk tido siang..so what?)
7) "MsoNormal">
Last but not least, here’s Umar’s pics at 13 months. I didn’t know I have this handsome little charmer instead of tantrum thrower, bad temper little guy until I uploaded these pics.
Gender: We saw the.. shimmering.…glimmering.…tiny willie…
Weight Issue
Thank God I have put on weight but not much. It’s the ‘now’ that I worried, the ‘after’ that matters. Did you know that I was counting days to fit in my ‘those days’ jeans after I had Umar? (Hello, betis bunting padi aku pun tak celus tau dak?) Suddenly the big news came…Then how?…..Nemind……now, concentrate on my big appetites ..oopss…my pregnancy…
Year 2008
§ I need a vacation..island…beaches…but with toddler…(sigh)….
§ I want to move out…..(sigh)….
Umar
Umar is 13months.
He can utter:-
§ ‘ibolibol’ which means bola or ball
§ ‘Igga’ or tiga what he really means referring to minum susu as when he was a little we used to count ‘Satu,
Dua, Tiga’ together scooping a milk when making susu..So he thought human called susu ‘igga’..hmmphh..I correct you later la Umar…
§ ‘Nak’ = want
§ ‘Amek’ = ambik
Dance to:
§ Oligo coco ad jingle
§ Celcom 1 + 3 jingle
§ Paluan kompang dan rebana kenduri kawin
§ The ’Hi-5’ kera kena belacan
MIL
Don’t make me started, ok.. Now will you excuse me I want to go home early today. I don’t want to miss another episode of Spa ‘of wigs’ Q : P
My quote ala Victoria Beckham of next year:
So many boys…*sigh…so little time…chewah….

L0t 52 J@l@n Kuar1: Revived
Me back!
It’s all dusty in here…
Nothing much. Except that I’m pregnant. (Smiling) Morning sickness, Raya, birthday, toddler. It’s been 14 weeks plus plus and tummy started to bulged. The boss gave a weird look yesterday even though I tried very hard to wear my regular office shirts (hold stomach) everyday to work.
Boss: Are you pregnant?
Me: Could be………(Walked away)
It’s not that I don’t want to tell him, (hey, it’s superstitious you know). When I found out that I was pregnant, I was still in probation period, just a few weeks away till my 6 months probation period ends. I think I better zip it till I got confirmed officially and voila, I was confirmed later. Hence, during “camouflaging” period, I tried very hard not to look sick while that time I was suffering the morning sickness (big time!), tried not to take any MCs, (but I secretly ‘curik’ tidur at the back staircase, yeah yeah..i suck, but trust me it was just a nap)..I hardly powder my nose, I think that time he wondered why I looked like a deserted scarecrow…
Today: Came to work with maternity blouse. ( Damn..the stake is dropping)
Do you know that I email my every post to my blog? They (the Company) has set up a this proxy thing that unable me to log in into my blogger account. See, I beat them. I still can blog. From office. I can read all the comments but I can’t reply or comment back. Damn..They win this time.
To mon blog amies Kechik, Yummy Mummy, Sugarysweet, Mamamaisara, RotiKacangMerah, Mariuca, Emila, I’am baaaaaaack! Just that mak can’t leave a trace to uols blogs. (see, I started to sound like
Notakaki:
Umar already can say “Kaka” (our cat), “babah”, “ce-dar” (sedap), “mamam” (makan) and obviously “merdeka”. But when we say Ibu, he says “ab” followed by raspberry. He’s still struggling to say ‘bu’.
Happy Birthday Umar!
It's your first birthday, baby,
One candle on your cake;
Proud parents stare in wonder
At each new move you make.
We join in celebration,
As this special date arrives,
For baby has brought pleasure
Into all our lives.
We look forward now to seeing
How you progress and grow,
From the cute and tiny infant
You were one year ago.
So dig into your icing;
Enjoy your presents, too.
The reason for this day
Is a special person--you!

Not yet the size of a garden pea
I know, I know..it’s a bit to soon for Umar to have a little friend, but I should be grateful for the rezeki yang Allah Taala nak bagi. At first, I was shocked, blaming myself being such an ignorant person, procrastinator, clumsy dalam mengobey the duty roster makan morning after pill, blaming him, blaming this and that, and most important, I was worried for Umar, for he is such a cute little boy that still needs attention from his ibu. But later, when I was a little bit calm and mellow, I know I should embracing the pregnancy and think of other people that’ve been trying so hard to get a child of their own. Hence I got a very very strong reasons to have a place of our own. I’ll fight for it after Raya, I dun fuc***g care! Now with this so-called morning sickness, I dunno how am gonna live my life in next few weeks plus the Raya stuff coming up..urghhh!! This Raya will be sungguh tak best cause I know I’ll be feeling sick for the entire next couple of months!
Sweet little angel what will you be?
A lot like dad or more like mom... What exactly will you become?
No matter, just BE and get big and strong
Don’t hurry to leave your mommy’s tum...
You sleep & eat & kick & grow
Nine months will be gone before we know!
Si Ayu Sedang Lena Beradu....
Can’t hold my tears when the news announced that the body of the girl that was found was adik Nurin. Proven scientifically by the hospital and confirmed by the mother. Jenazah adik Nurin was buried today after Friday prayer. Here a post by my little sis dedicated to Adik Nurin Jazlin. Semoga roh adik Nurin dicucuri rahmat hendaknya, Amin.
Kecurian Nasik di Petang Ramadhan yang ke-4
Yesterday we had Bubur Lambok for buka puasa. Kak Pesah had to masak nasik nasik nasik nasik nasik
p/s: Kecurian nasik semalam masih menjadi tanda tanya..Tu du du du Tu du du du (muzik saspen P. Ramlee)...
Ni Betul-betul Final!
That day mother-in-law cakap citer Sembilu Kasih dah abih dah. Taknak pisang berbuah 2 kali sebab hari tu aku dah announce dalam blog yang citer telenovela ni dah abis, ropa-ropa nya belum lagi (malu sehh....), aku pun tengok la re-run dia kat TV3 plak.. memang betul habis. Keputusannya? Jeng jeng jeng…
1. Diana patah kaki la pulak kena langgar lari. Terlantar kat spital berhari-hari and dalam berhari-hari tu bermuhasabah kan
2. Zetty plak kebetulan balik cuti sekolah, sedih la plak.. Dia dah benci kat ex-husband dia gila-gila tahap dewa, tup tup tak salah.Nasik
Sekian, cerita Datuk Yusof Haslam yang very the typical. Dah takder dah shot di meja makan yang aku rasa dalam satu episod ada la 5 kali depa makan. Dan adegan jeep merah itu dengan laju membelah kepekatan malam setelah parking berlatar-belakang kan KLCC atau Dataran Merdeka. Seksa suma penonton tak berakhir di sini, sebab ada citer baru plak, Airmata Maria, drama Sembilu Kasih jadian, akan menserabutkan TV korang semua sehingga episod yang terakhir, tu dalam 2-3 tahun lagi kot…so bersiap sedia lah....

Umar's First Baby Steps
Yesterday, I witnessed Umar made a few steps forward. Yeay! Oh and his two upper front molars as well which started appear this week.. By Raya Umar is already on foot! And I can buy baju Melayu for him.. Yeay!
Shame, mom put this pic of mine without my teeth..
Hungry Ghost
Ok, lately I’ve been makan banyak. Here what I had yesterday and today:

Afternoon – asam laksa, tako tao, sushi, rice cracker (3 packets of 2), sotong ketuk

Supper – burger cheese ramli
Today:
Breakfast –
Lunch – asam laksa lagi (walaupun aku kena cue tunggu meja setengah jam), mud slice for desert
Tea time – Rice cracker
Dinner – dunno yet, but now still hungry feeling like eating the calculator ni ha..
I dunno why. Last month I thought I lost my appetite forever. Now suddenly eating like no tomorrow. Don’t tell me am eating for two.. (tu du du du du du du du (muzik background citer p ramlee masa suspen)..Oh Tidak!!!!!!!!
Reason: Lack of discipline
Possibility: 50%
Symptoms: Not yet
If shows: World will be upside down
Baju Sempit atau Intentionally Ketat?
This morning when I was about to go to work, Kak Pesah (mother-in-law) tegur “Sempit baju ko ni Da”. Alamak, memang nak avoid dia sampai aku gi keje tadi tapi terserempak kat balcony sebab dia nak gi hospital wat check-up. Aku replied, “Baju ni baru basuh dia mengecut skit. Lama-lama dia besar”. Alasan Pak Aji Hassan. Sebenornya baju ni aku baru beli Sabtu lepas..Sorry dun have the pic, but it is sumthin' like this but white in color with puffy sleeves.
Itu la dia…cerita di pagi Isnin yang begitu drag sekali….
p/s: by the way hari ni Umar bangun ajak main pukul 4 pagi sampai aku nak gi keje. There goes my day. Thank you very much.
Malay Soaps
If you guys remember I wrote an entry about Malay telenovela Sembilu Kasih a month ago announcing that that particular night will be the episode finale? And guess what, it wasn’t that night. Please don’t blame me. I overheard on the radio where Hot FM morning crews interviewing Zed Zaidi aka Fendi and dengan konfiden nya Zed Zaidi cakap malam tu final episode. Siut jer..Tipah tertipu.. Dah la aku siap beritahu mak mentua aku malam tu dah episode akhir. Siut la mamat tu.. Lain kali nak cakap apa-apa check la ngan Yusof Haslam dulu… Hee..tak tau la biler habisnyer kisah couple serabut tu (according to MissKechik).. Makin climax aku dengar plot nyer.. Diari Babysitter
This is the second week Umar has been taking care by the babysitter. He’s doing fine, cuma menangis mengada-ngada masa aku hantar dia every morning. Pas tu kakak tu cakap dah ok dah bermain-main dan memanjat-manjat sana-sini. He’s on foot now, not walking, but standing holding on on something and attempting to make few steps. According to the kakak, she had to dismantle the towel hanger sebab dah beberapa kali towel hanger tu tumbang dek digayut oleh si Umar and timpa dia. Nasib ko la Umar, sapa suruh ko buas and the kakak complains Umar is so active and buas and sometimes taknak tidur sebab nak main during daytime. She had 5 kids that she taken care before at the same time, takkan dia takleh jaga anak aku yg sorang ni. I said to myself I don’t mind give her more than she asked every month, provided dia akan jaga Umar macam anak dia sendiri.
Cakap pasal babysitter, ni ada satu kisah perihal teman sepejabat yang mengadu pasal babysitter dia yang recently demand naik gaji.
In my opinion, setakat
