Selamat Hari Cuti Suzuki

hehehe disebabkan kehebatan team bola Malaysia, maka PM telah declare hari ini sebagai hari cuti...

sungguh syiok spent the morning lazily with the kids and hubby...

so terima kasih kepada team bola (Safee Sali, KFCM and the others) for all your hardwork and let us have a longer weekend :)

I hate getting bad (or not good enough) advice

3 weeks ago...oh no... 4 weeks ago... erina got stye (ketumbit)

on her right eyelids, at first I thought it was mosquito bite so I just ignore it for a few days.

then after a week, it still did not recede or getting bigger so I brought her to clinic. Due to some logistics issue, we went to a not-so-favored clinic. The GP said "Oh! Ketumbit ni, baru seminggu. Takpe. Kalau dah lebih sebulan still tak hilang lagi then please consult eye specialist". Disebabkan the visit was paid by company's insurance, the clinic was sure to overpaid by prescribe my daughter eye drops

AND PARACETAMOL. WTH!!! Saya yang buta medicine ni pun tau paracetamol is for fever not for ketumbit. But the clinic assistant said "kalau demam". still wth!!!

fast forward to today... the stye still there. I was at my mom's house this morning, still considering which eye specialist that we would like to consult with. Hubby want to go to clinic nearby so we bring Erina for another consultation with GP. This time the GP said "Oh kecik je ketumbitnya ni... you should tuam with tuala suam to reduce it. But I will still write reference letter for you to go to eye specialist." And she did not prescribe anything for Erina. What a vast difference between the two GPs.

We were considering to go either Tun Hussien Onn National Eye Hospital (THONEH) or Damansara Specialist Hospital (since this is the only one private hospital nearby my home that have ophthalmologist and a lot of paedtrician). We were not sure if the NEH is government or private. But it was not in the list of company's insurance as much as I can recall. So off we go to DSH, first time nak pegi situ so have to consult en. Garmin. Senang je rupanya cuma dia tersorok sket dari jalan besar kat TTDI tuh.

After a hassle of getting the GL, we managed to consult with Dr. Noraini. Her advice? The same advice as per Klang's GP!!! In addition, she said we should do the tuam thingy earlier as it is now getting harder. Oh man!! I felt really terrible of getting bad (or not good enough advice) from that lousy GP. Anyway, we will put Erina for tuam activities and eye drops medication for a week. If nothing change, she will have to go for incision to remove the stye.

Tapi saya yang dah start berdebar2. Doa banyak2 semoga stye ni hilang dalam masa seminggu nih.....

..:: anecdote15 - pemadam pensel ::..

Hubby: Erina.... tolong ambikkan ayah pemadam pensel.

Erina: Okay...

(korek2 dalam beg pensel dia...pastu buka pensel box...pastu kuarkan pensel)

Erina lari2 gi bagi kat hubby, pemadam dan pensel

Hubby: Ayah nak pemadam je lah...

Erina: tadi ayah kata nak pemadam pensel

Saya: hehehe...erina ingat 'pemadam pensel' adalah 2 benda yg berlainan...

what should I do

should I....

.... follow the pack or

.... just be myself or

.... try to blend in or

.... try to participate or

.... try to shine in

why should I???

anecdote 14 - doa sblm tidur

malam td, suh anak2 masuk tidur dulu, dan saya pun solat isyak didalam bilik mereka (hehe solat isyak kul 10 mlm) lepas tu sambung baca quran... kira sekali utk anak2 dengar sebelum tidur....

dah beberapa ayat, tengok2 aiman dah tertidur... dia tidur siang pun kejap sgt so mlm cepat sket tidurnya... erina still bermain2 bawah selimut... entah hapa2 dia bercerita sorang2.... saya teruskan pembacaan al-quran lagi... pastu dengar erina dah tukar cerita "A...ba... ta... sa...ja..." (dah macam membaca iqra', dia kira mcm shadow saya yg tgh membaca quran) pastu tetiba "bismillahirahmannirrahim....

allahuma bariklana fima razaktana wakina azabbannar...amin..."

boleh dia baca doa makan sebelum tidur... hehehe nampak sgt dia tak tau nak baca doa lain :P

..:: selamat tahun baru @ salam maal hijrah 1432Hijrah ::..

ye hari ni dah 3 muharram.... still awal tahun baru lagi kan.... hehehe...

bagaimanakah anda menyambutnya?

saya mulakan dgn membaca doa akhir tahun dan doa awal tahun (as usual) pastu pagi selasa tu tgk kat tv1 perhimpunan maal hijrah tu... so ada lah time persembahan nasyid tu, boleh saya masih ingat lagi lagu2 tu... hehehe rasa dah berzaman tinggalkan waktu sekolah... waktu sekolah agama je pun nyanyi nasyid2 ni... lagu ni

so apakah azam anda di tahun baru 1432H ini?

azam saya... simple je.... nak jd insan yg lebih baik :)

azam yg baik kena lah yg measurable baru lah leh quantified tercapai ke tak kan... so disbb azam yg simple tu susah nak measurable... ni lah azam saya (sbg peringatan kpd diri sendiri)

1- menunaikan solat di awal waktu (hehehe no more combo2)

2- mengganti puasa seawal yg mungkin

3- menambah simpanan tabung haji (owh dah kena aim tahun bila nak gi haji ni)

4- membaca al-quran secara konsisten (kena paksa at least sehari baca +- 20 ayat gak)

errrkkk cukup lah tu kang banyak2 tak tercapai lak...

so enjoylah cara paling mudah utk mengingat bulan2 islam...

..:: hubby's birthday ::..

this is the starter of events yg akan mengeringkan duit2 didalam akaun bank saya pada hujung2 tahun... hehe... even though that is a fact, but i love spend money for my loved ones. their happiness is much more valuable than the money :)

sebenarnya sejak kahwin, the ritual for his birthday is having dinner yg agak special sket... sebelum2 ni, time keje tmpt lama, saya adalah menjadi miskin bandar (owh saya harus buat satu entry pasal ni... later2 lah ye) maka nya tidak penah memberikan apa2 hadiah benda2 (seingat saya lah kan), so i planned to send him a surprise, i ordered a bouquet of ferrero rocher. i was torn between a bouquet of chocolate or plus a teddy bear. but feels a bit tacky, wacky, weird to give a macho man a teddy bear. haruslah kena pau dgn erina nanti.

he had a conference/seminar for the morning so he will be out from the office. the whole morning i kept checking my order, dah sampai ke belum dah sampai ke belum dah sampai ke belum. hampir2 nak call opismate dia utk tanya.... then... I saw this

the caption is "this is what I received when got back to the office just now.. surprise delivery from my lovely wife.. thank you honey.. love you"

aahhh I feel so loved, so appreciated, so excited macam lah aku yg dapat bouquet tu... hehehe... but the feeling was very good, happy (dan lain2 perkataan yg seangkatan dengannya). betullah kata orang, memberi itu lebih baik dari menerima (tapi kalau terima a bouquet of flowers pun akan rasa teruja gak wink wink to the appropriate person hehehe). ni lah sekali sekala nya nak membagi hadiah begini... oh tahun depan kena cari cara hadiah yg lain lak... ishk...

and we still maintain the ritual of going dinner to a little bit special place.... :) dah tak larat nak cerita so tgk lah lain kali kalau nak sambung... kalau tak, biarlah rahsia ;)

to sayang, please remember, the chocolate is meant to be eaten not as display only at your desk in the office ;)

..:: busy weekends of almost year end - part 2 ::..

wuuuhhuuu.... we went to MAHA 2010 on Sunday morning...

memula ingat nak took our usual Sunday breakfast kat Pasar Tani Shah Alam, akan tetapi ada fun fair lah kat car park pasar tani so berkuranglah tempat letak kereta... kitorg dah round dekat setengah jam so pegilah je kedai mamak yg berdekatan utk breakfast, lepas breakfast baru terus gi MAHA...

lebih kurang kul 10 sampai sana... tapi dah agak jem gak lah...berjaya mendapatkan parking berdekatan dgn Sua Rasa TV9... then start lah berjln2 di MAHA

mula2 jumpa cik nangka yg BBEESSSAARRR...oh ingatkan omputih je ada tanam labu besar2.... org malaysia pun dah tanam nangka besar...

tgk nenas di Laman Nenas...rasa2 makanan berasaskan nenas, oh ada nenas salai yg sedap tak nampak lak dia jual kat mana.... ishk rasa rugi lak... they also have technology of producing paper from daun nenas, nice and very environmental friendly.

then pegi Laman Padi lak,... boleh lak tunjuk kat anak2 bandar ni (my kids lah kan) pokok padi... dan juga tgk model mesin diorg proses padi sampai jd beras... tapi sbb anak2 bandar ni tak tahan panas, puteri lilin, dah menggelupur kat situ nak cari tempat sejuk so takleh lak nak menelek semua benda yg dipamerkan kat situ...

pastu pegi Fishery Showground lak... gi jugak lah jenguk ada site fish feeding... kena naik mcm pelantar atas tasik..pelantar buoy tu...jenis plastik tu so kalau naik ramai2 mmg seriau sket lah... tp kena tunjuk berani depan anak2 so berani kan lah diri gak jln2 atas platform yg terumbang-ambing tu... sekali time nak turun dari pelantar tu, ada lah perempuan ni yg mcm kurang sabar... tak nak tunggu orang clear dulu dr platform tu, dia nak terus naik gak...sekali...ambik ko... terjunam sebelah kaki dalam tasik tu... habis lah seluar dia bau ikan.... ngehngeh....

ingatkan lepas tu nak gi tgk State Pavillion lak, tapi Aiman dah berzikir "mana binatang?" setiap 2 minit, so naik lah tram (oh... tram dan bas disediakan utk dari satu tmpt ke satu tmpt yg lain) tapi tersilap tram... tram tu patah balik ke start point....

so kitorg sambung je lah kat Livestock Showground, tengok kambing biri2 yang tak berhenti mengembek... lembu penjantan (mmg lembu utk pembiakan) yg mmg gila besar tahap2 mcm bison (mcm lah penah tgk bison live)... yg gambar bawah ni 1 tan beratnya...

yg ni pulak dgn tuannya

lembu2 ni semuanya dlm lingkungan umur 2 tahun tapi dah besar gabak gitu... uuuhhh mmg sedikit takut kalau dia naik angin time tu hehehe...

pastu kitorg dah agak kepenatan (sila baca sbg anak2 dah meragam, ibunya dah tak larat nak layan) so kitorg bergegas je lalu dkt tmpt jual pokok, jual orkid, Sua Rasa tanpa membeli apa2... :( agak terkilan gak lah sbb ingatkan boleh lah nak beli barang 1 atau 2 anak pokok tapi takde rezeki penjual2 tu...

dah balik baru teringat yg Murtabak Mengkassar buka gerai kat situ tapi terlupa nak cari sbb tak cover semua tempat... cheh... pastu tgk bnyk sgt lagi yg termiss... korang boleh check kat sini http://www.mahaexpo2010.com/

hmmm tapi MAHA ni sampai ahad ni je (5hb Disember), tapi weekend mcm dah full, kalau tak boleh pujuk hubby utk gi mengharung jam utk gi lagi....hmmm

oh mmg jam kalau dtg lepas kul 10pg. masa balik tgk org parking adalah dekat 2km dari tapak MAHA tepi lebuhraya, ada yg sanggup lintas lebuhraya tu...ishk bahaya sungguh...

kesimpulannya MAHA best walaupun tak cover habis, kalau tak gi lagi weekend ni...kenalah tunggu lagi 2 tahun utk pegi :)
