Pika2 and Brownie

Marilah bercerita pasal the new addition of anak bulus this year. Not so new la. One of them was dikutip on March 2014 and the other August 2014.

Kite start dengan Pika2 dulu la. On my way to work I use the AKLEH and from MRR2 I will need to lalu Petronas Ampang tu just before going up to AKLEH, so masa driving tu my eyes caught upon this kitten who is cowering beside the road. So I quickly turned onto Petronas and pick up the kitten set it beside the kedai Mesra stesyen Petronas. Then I head back to work.

I sometimes picked up kittens in the middle of the road ( because kittens are dumb and that is why you see a lot of kittens being run over ) and set it on the side of the road when I chance upon them while driving, but this one kinda sticks on my mind. I was feeling like I don't think so she can survive at the station. No one will gives it food and the station is right in the middle of a very congested and busy road. I am doubtful it will last a week.

So masa lunch time tu I made up my mind to take her to my home. I picked up an A4 box from the office so I have something to put her in while in the car. Went back to that petrol station and found her cowering underneath one of a parked car there. She looks so pitiful. I tried to grab her but she ran away to the drain, so one of the car wash guys came over and help me to pick her from the drain.

Put her in a box and I asked to stay quietly and not pee nor poop there. She decided to explore the car. Naseb baik tak membuang

So away we go. I set up one of the cat cage I have at home as any new cat as per usual have to be quarantine first to make sure any penyakit tak kena to the other cats. I have to set it as fast and as comfortable as I can make it, put up some food and water and off I went to work again.

Bobby sniffing the new arrival. 

She got some pretty bad case of mange (kurap) and skin issues. Actually up til now her skin is very sensitive. We got her to the vet and the vet gave ubat kurap orally. That is a relief that only the vet have to do it but if she is not better the meds will be administered again in 2 weeks time, so I have to take her to the vet up to 3 times before the kurap goes away.

Muka kesian. Telinga sangat berkerak. I wear gloves when I touched her. 

In daylight you can see her skin issues. Masa ni I baru mandikan die before going to the vet. Just so I could get the dirt off and kerak2 off her. I did the best I could with the condition I was in.

Ubat kurap administered orally. 

I have no idea what to call her. Kurap was already taken . Heh. But after about 2 or 3 weeks in the house I found her sitting contentedly on a Pikachu chair. So I called her Pika2.

Sitting there peacefully

while looking at Aziz. 

Right now she is quite healthy and had already been spayed. Masa spayed tu pon banyak songeh gak, sebab her stitches did not heal quite as nicely so it took longer than the other female cats I had. Naseb baik ade my husband to help apply her antibiotic cream. It took usually one or two weeks for my previous cats to be OK but her stitches needed 3 weeks to heal. Maybe its the vet, maybe I didn't take better care of her. But I am glad anyhow she did get better.

Looking much better now

At this time her fur looking quite nice, this week not so nice partly sebab I step on her then I think she overgroom that part I pijak jugak. Emo aje ko ni Pika. 

She is mostly quiet, don't like to go out much, prefer to be alone, though if she wants something she will stick by your side like glue. Selalu sangat kena pijak sebab she likes to be so close and quiet that we didnt notice she is there. Baru je minggu lepas I terpijak die sampai a huge chunk of her fur tercabut. Haha. Dahla die memang ade masalah with fur. She likes to overgroom herself and maybe there is some too much shedding going on. Also she pukes a lot that I grew quite tired of cleaning it. So we changed her food to Cat's Eye recently and after a few days no more puking! Her fur also seems to be improving somewhat. I think. I am still figuring that out, though she had stopped her overgrooming. Hope it will only get better. Tension aku tengok badan die ade part togel2.

Oh. Did I mention that right after I picked her up to my house, the next day tu I found out I was pregnant. Haha. Pening kepala nak handle problematic cats while pregnant. During those first days tu memang I wear gloves when I touched her and washed my hands regularly. And prayed that all will turn out ok. Actually that should be the practice. Always wash hands regularly people. Especially if you are exiting a public toilet. Euww much? 

Brownie entry into this house is not that dramatic. We just got back from raya and I can't remember what I was doing late at night, but all my cats are at their 'kandang' and I kept on hearing this persistent little mewing sounds. Sekali at my front door. This tiny kitten wants to come in because it is a rainy night and somewhat cold, and I think he wants some warmth. He was and is still the cutest little thing.

That first night we found him or rather he found us. Ko tengok la tahap kecomelan tu

We let him in for a while played with him because that seems like what it wants, then him outside again with some water and food. He was wearing a collar and a bell, and I thought it will go back to wherever he comes from. So day after day he is still there at our home and always frantic to go into the house. He wants to be an indoor cat with occasional playtime outside damnit!

Very the demanding

We asked around but nobody seems to know where he comes from dan almost put him up for adoption to one my friend but that fell through. Rupa-rupanye after about a month later we found out he came from right next door. Rupanye our next door neighbour ni baru je kutip die, but my neighbour the sort of people who put their cat outside. Die kate die kesian tengok kucing ni berkeliaran kat kedai mana tah so she picked him up and brought to her home. Haha. Kite orang tanye selang 4 5 6 rumah but didn't asked orang sebelah. We never thought it could be her sebab I thought I already know all her cats. Lupa pulak die pon in the habit of picking up strays ( but not exactly spaying and neutering them which kinda irks me ). Since she saw I kinda claimed Brownie as my own, she decided to let me keep it. Anak dia kata kira ni present untuk Aziz la. Haha. Ok la tu. He and Aziz seems ngam together pon. Husband memula nak push jugak suh I adopt him out but after Kurap died die malas nak push. I kinda like having Brownie around too.

And occasionally we found him asleep in the cutest of pose

He is not that much of a hassle. Cuma bile datang sini, cirit birit lama la. New cat adapting to new food tu biasa la, but Brownie ni lama sikit. Tapi2 lama I taw kenapa, sebab orang sebelah bagi die makan gak, so he have to adjust to that food too. Haha. Also at first I thought Brownie was a female kitten, tapi minggu ke minggu macam makin besar lak balls tu, so lepas tangkap gambar tunjuk kat my cat group in Whatsapp konfemla Brownie ni jate. Nasib baik nama kinda unisex. I named him Brownie tu pon sebab there was this female cat in instagram I follow who looks kinda like Brownie.

He is the cutest kitten dan sampai skang my niece masih menaruh harapan mommy die bagi die bela Brownie. Tapi selagi die tak setuju untuk scoop taik kucing no cat for her. Hehe. Brownie ni nakal and active dan suke gile duduk atas laptop. I can't do any work if I he is around sebab he likes to jump on the keyboard. Very active (typical kitten), go crazy when we are eating so eating time we have to kurung him for a while or he will shove his nose on your plate but sometimes can be very manja by jumping up and sleeping right next to you while we are watching tv. 

Bincang ape tah. 

Aziz tengah nak tujal2 kepala Brownie

Aziz likes to pick and manhandled him but he seems gentle enough with Aziz. Selalu gak kena reprimand Aziz. Budak kan, ape die taw, but also we need to be very stern if it looks like Aziz is hurting the cat. We are blessed with very gentle cats. The only cat yang tak gentle is Kurap, but Aziz knows to not mess with her then and she kept her distance with Aziz too. Rindu kat kucing Kurap gemok.

Tak jadi la beli phone baru

Tak jadi sebab dah OK dah! After I posted that post then browsed several more phones I macam highly dissatisfied . Search through the forum and found the solution .  Need to manually reboot the phone to get it on again. So after this whenever it is off, need to manual reboot. Agak leceh asal bole on la. Nanti nak backup whatever left in this phone.

Lagi pon i sayang la nak tuka phone. Casing phone punye la banyak. Those  are the one that I found. Ade lagi scattered  around the house not pictured. At the very least kena bertahan sampai I pakai the one casing I bought not yet pakai. Hehe.

Anyway. I am in my 36 weeks now! Fuh. Moga2 tak beranak awal. The people yang nak kena approved my leave maseh membisu. Nyampah tul aku bile process leave jadi payah. Too many processes but macam tu gak leceh.

Note 2 sudah kong

My phone tetiba just refused to start. That is annoying. Husband had been asking me for the longest time if I want a new phone, I said kalau asyik tanye je, die je la beli sendiri for his own. Last2, he tertinggal his phone in a taxi, dan phone tu lesap and he bought a Z3. 

Then tak sampai sebulan my phone lak buat hal. I don't particularly love my Note 2, but I do think it is a good phone. It had served me well and I had a lot of memories with that phone. With the dropbox and all other cloud solutions, I am not too stressed out thinking of all the photos. Especially photos of my dead cat. But changing to another phone is something I am not ready to do yet, but seems like I must. I guess the life span of a phone nowadays is 2 years kut. Note 2 dah la mahal, I was trying to extend it to 3 years kut. Ah well. 

So what is there in the market. I am not too attached to Samsung. And I am an Android fan. So other than that I will not consider. I am now using my husband backup Nokia Lumia. It is a pretty good phone, but can be a bit frustrating at times. 

Had now prebooked the Honor 6 sebab the price and specs is just irresistible lah. The design is nothing to scream about, but I can just buy a casing. Going on and on about phone. First world problem betul. This is not the best time to buy a phone taw. Hoping my Note 2 will miraculously boot up again by the end of the week. 

It is really a headache trying to choose a phone because phone ni macam long time commitment taw. After all nowadays we are glued to that darn thing almost at all hours of all days. Weekend ni shopping!

Baru start keje tapi dah penat

Just got back from gynae appointment. Since the doctor had an emergency kena tunggu close to 2 hours, baru I get to meet her . Fuhh. Naseb baik keje start lewat, kalau tak aku tak keruan dah. It is not a usual occurence though so I am not mad. I can see my gynae went out and into her room saying "please inform I need to go to the labour room now". After all most of the time, here in PCMC we will be attended by our gynae if we go into labour. Tak tahu la pulak if nak beranak time tu jugak in the middle of the night. Haha. 

Anyway am in my 34 weeks now and the checkup went fine. Baby now weigh around 2.2 kg. Naik ful 1 kg dari last visit 3 weeks ago. Amboi sangat. Patut pon mak die time hujan2 ni pon peluh. I sometimes woke up in the middle of the night and felt my inner thigh is wet. Setiap kali tu cuak ingatkan my water tetiba break ke... tapi rupanye sweating jeeee. Haha. 

Doctor bising sikit sebab my hemoglobin and iron level dah low balik. Mampos padah tak makin pil hari2. So pasnih kena makan lagi hari2. Dapat extra pill lagi. Sheeshhh. 

Anyway, last week I decided tu tanye my mom how to make her pudding prune tu. At the time I was in Giant dan ingatkan nak beli la ingredients tu, tapi my mom dashed my cita2 since only a few specific brand of tepung jagung will do. Takleh pakai sebarang haippp! Nanti die jadi clumpy. I asked my brand she said ... the last time she can found it is in Jusco and she can't remembered the brand but she said it does have gambar jagung in front. I don't think my mom realised almost all of tepung jagung have picture of corn on their packaging. Haha. Tapi then few days back I went to Jusco and I found the brand my Mom mentioned. I kinda remembered seeing this brand in the house in JB usually, so I think this must be it. Try la buat. Aziz suke! Good dessert for kids because it is just milk pudding with prune syrup. Aku guna prune in a can je. Sape nak rajin nak buat prune syrup from scratch boleh aje. Just google recipe for milk pudding (though refrain the sugar or just put only a tiny bit because you are adding in something manis with syrup) and then you just add in prune syrup. Nanti nak buat with custard lak. Yang I buat ni milk pudding tu macam lembik sikit, kena betulkan sikit la die punye sukatan. 

Last weekend gak we went to Pavilion sebab kekonon nak gi Turkish fair. Padan tak google before sesuke hati pergi rupanye Turkish fair tu time weekdays. Poooohhh. Siapa pergi fair fair ni time weekdays ni wehhh. I don't really care to walk around in Pavilion because it is just an array of stuffs that I can't afford, tapi I am delighted that at last Fish & Co ade kat situ. Dulu ade kat OU je kan. Ade lagi rasenye outlet die kan , kan tempat lain. Suke sebab kids eat for free dan die sediakan activity punye paper and coloring pencil for kids. 

Dan topi shark untuk Aziz. Aziz suke. The food was good and not too expensive, so yeay. 

Sebab I dont want that I only went to Pavilion sekadar makan je, I suggested to husband kita try bawak Aziz tengok wayang. Haha. Alang2 ade cerita Book of Life ( boring, Aziz tak tengok pon... ) . Beli popcorn ngan air and bought tiket wayang yang duduk tepi sekali. Naseb baik row depan tu tadek orang sebab budak kecik ni duk panjant turun kerusi , bergayut kat kerusi depan, baling sisa popcorn kat seat depan. Naseb baikkkk 2 row depan kosong. Kalau ade orang I dah keluar dah wayang. Tapi boleh la bertahan sampai habis. He don't make much noise. Sekali sekala menjerit suke and sekali je die nangis sebab popcorn habes. . Hahaha. Tapi tu kejab je, cepat2 I distract die dengan air and sembunyi bekas popcorn yang dah empty tu. Anyway a lot of kids around since tu cerita kartun and most of the kids are very well behaved pon, I think I only noticed Aziz je kut who makes noises two and three times.

Nak bawak lagi tengok wayang? 2 tahun lagi kutttt. Haha. Atau bapak die bawak, sebab nanti mesti la mak die kena duk jaga baby. 

Gambar dalam wayang before movie started. Tengok la ceria Aziz tu. He was really excited at first asking us ape tu ape tu, sambil tunjuk the movie screen.

Ok. That's it for now lah. Later.

Sedihlahh

I am beginning to delete my personal files in the company laptop and came across this poster I made for Kurap when she went missing around 2 3 months back. I remembered being very sad about it and was super glad when I found her again. I think I posted it before in this blog.

I never got to post this poster though. The day I made the poster, that night I found her. I miss my Kurap.

Campur aduk

Feeling a bit tired lately. And I am beginning to hate cooking, because of all the washing up. Boring la basuh pinggan. Not to mention perut dah makin besar so makin jauh lak tangan ke sinki tu, hence sakit belakang. Naseb baik ade kakak yang rajin menghantar makanan2 ke adik2 die yang pemalas ni. My sister have 4 kids, is a doctor and is always on her feet. Lepas beranak tu, ko expect die nak duduk macam orang normal dalam bilik berbekung bagai? Tadek okehh.. siap masak2 paksa kite orang datang rumah untuk makan, even though she can't eat the food. That is why I don't quite buy the pantang ikut pakai stokin and all. Not saying it is bad, but it is up to you how you want to be active and healthy. My sister chose to be a sorta of a human tornado. 

Anyway, last weekend nothing special we did. I went to Ikea because we want to do one of the room in this house into the boys room. Kira nanti Aziz and adik die ade bilik sendiri la. Nothing major. The room that we mentioned had never been done anything at all. The parquet is all in horrible shape and the bathroom is dingy looking. So during pantang my husband planned since I am either at my mom's house or at my sister's house, we do the renovation during at that time. Gamba renovation daporrr pon aku tak tnjuk lagi kan. Hahaha. Nanti I hunt it up and showed it here. 

The cost is beginning to get my husband a bit nervous since this kinda offset his plan to buy a new car. Sebab bini die demanding nak grill lawa2 depan rumah and nak tuka sliding door tu bifold door. But it is still in the 'cost estimation' phase so we'll see what we will do more. But I am excited to have the boys room in the house sebab I can have places to store their clothes. Currently the room in question is more like a storeroom. So many junks. We are such hoarders. One of these weekends we are gonna have that "keep it or throw it away" day in the storerooms. I betcha there will be a lot of ayat that goes like " so thattttt is where this stuff is" and "huh ... I forgot we have this". 

2 paragraph aku merapu. Anyway in Ikea with a mission is to buy yang para2 ala2 spice rack tu, but I want to put my pinggan in. Tapi habis stok. Marahnye aku. Dah la malas gi Ikea. And to look at suitable closet for the boys. Berkenan dengan satu, but it will be up to husband if he will buy it when the room is finish. So that's it. Also bought this! 

A Philips Bluetooth  wireless speaker for my phone. When I kemas2 and played songs on youtube, I can now use this and are very satisfied. Though you have to put your phone nearby or it the sound will go putus2. I love this. I thought it cost like RM300 and something so tak pernah sibuk nak beli, but Harvey Norman had a sale and it was going at RM77, and I usually buy a blouse around that range. So a wireless speaker tu dah murah dah tuu. The sound is acceptable and way better than the speaker phone sound and if you wanna ask more that is all I can say about it. Though we can't adjust the sound control on the speaker, only through your phone. 

After dah membeli, in the car on the way back bukak instagram and saw Kak Mynn of Salam2benua uploaded her cake. And it looks so delish! And I want a cake too. And I know I want to bake one. Her apple cinnamon cakes looks amazing, but I don't have apples on hand and I don't really want to buy stuffs. And felt like I should use stuffs from the pantry, so I googled what kinda cake I can get from dates. Bulan puasa hari tu kan banyak lebihan dates and I don't really eat it , so turning it into a cake seems like a good idea. So a date cake it is!

My cake. Walaupon tidak sephotogenic macam Kak Myn punye gamba2 kek ( how do people photograph their food so beautifully??? it must be a talent ) but masih sedap. Puas hati bile laki aku yang kurang gemar kek eat almost half of the cake. So yeay! Found a cake that he likes to eat. It is almost like a fruit cake but don't have the same stickiness or density. Macam combination of moist and sponge cake. And the dates taste really nice in the cake. I think if added in a bit raisins lagi best gak. 

Oh. Also update on the Hari Malaysia punye cuti tu. We went to Janda Baik at Cheringin Hills Hotel. (Not recommended though it seems popular enough. The food is ok, so that is a plus la ) . We went there because husband ade teambuilding event and can bring family along. Not much activity for the family, but Aziz had fun, mostly on the swimming pools. 

We bought him the spiderman pelampung because he loves spiderman. Memula takutttt. 

Lama2 suke and wants to go into the big boys pool. 

He also had fun with all the kids. Colleagues husband banyak anak umur Aziz so he had a blast. 

We even manage to singgah at Kow Po for their cendol and aiskrim after husband punye water rafting activity at Raub . 

Aziz absolutely refused to share his ice cream with anybody.  It was good time and at least a time away from KL. Nak buat 'babymoon' memang tak dah la. Cuti tadekkk. But we have plan for another team building events that is gonna be held in PD. Husband punye la , my company tarakkk. He plans to bring us along nanti so Aziz can enjoy the pool again and have more fun before mak die kena terperuk kat rumah. 

Ending this post with a picture of Aziz holding a wine glass drinking a tall cold water after finishing his cream of chicken soup at the hotel in Janda Baik. 

In preparation - Babywearing?

Ok. Not much preparation for this 2nd baby coming. But I think I should get started NOWish . Some clothes had been bought and few things, but I have yet to make a list for me and baby but I am not too worried because I think there are a lot of things we have since this is the second time around. I do however need to start washing the cots, sheets, and clothes and all. Maybe after raya Haji la :D 

And yes! I dah ganti puasa. Granted 2 hari je kena ganti sebab tak larat masa puasa hari tu. Tapi I rather ganti now masa pregnant dari masa breastfeeding. Masa breastfeed last time I remembered being very parched during puasa, maybe because of all the extra energy used to produce milk but it was really something.

So for the preparation, I am looking into babywearing this time because well, with a toddler in tow and a newborn baby, I can't just be sitting around macam first time around masa dalam pantang and soon after. Even the first time around I barely have enough time since Aziz keeps on waking up every 2 or 3 hours, so I think it might be best if I prepared early with babywearing so if I need to move around the house with baby suckling for the longest time, at least I have free hands to do stuff. 

I had never babywear Aziz. I tried to use the carrier and the ring sling, but the former had way too many buckles and Aziz at the time don't look too comfy and the latter with the the ring sling, I don't feel secure enough. Felt like I am gonna drop this teeny newborn. So in this free time I am looking up all the video of baby wearing. Narrowed it to three choices so far. 

First the Babaslings.  At first the babaslings looks kinda.. hey this is easy, all I need is to buckle up. It have buckle at the back and you can just snap and unsnap to get baby in place. I really like the idea I can use this quickly. 

Picture: from kiddiecare.com

Nampak macam senang je kan. But I am not sure how secure I will feel and in the demonstration it looks like your baby macam senang bertukar position. Mixed reviews on this too. Some love it, some said the position kinda change after wearing it a while and not too easy to adjust. I am not sure, I looked up Bebetotz had one in stock so maybe I will take a look next week to see how it is.

Next I am considering is the popular one, the wrap . The famous one currently are the Boba and the Moby. I am leaning towards the Boba because Fabulousmom stocked it and Fabulousmom store is really close by ( same row as Bebetotz) and I kinda like the idea of a stretchable material.

Picture taken from luvmybag.com

The video instructions looked easy and doable. And I like the positioning of the baby. However this is Malaysia. If I were living in UK or Canada I would take this in a heartbeat. But in Malaysia weather this looks really HOT. I remembered sweating buckets during my pantang days. With a warm baby close to me, I can't imagine anything more uncomfortable, so I am not sure. Those who use wrap, do you think it is too hot to wrap in Malaysia?

Pic taken from tinytapir.com

And this last one is the Mei Tai Pikkolo. I have to say I actually fancy it because of the pretty fabric. But it doesn't look too comfortable for a newborn and the nearest one I can see it on hand is at Bangsar Tiny Tapir store. I had just seen the Mei Tai demo in video and my husband don't feel secure about me tying the fabric properly ( since I suck at that kinda thing ). So yeah. Probably not the Mei Tai. But it is really pretty lah.

Those who babywear. What ya think? Is the baby wrap way too hot? Kan senang if I have the confidence of guna kain batik je. Tapi I don't.

books oh books

I think I had read way more than this??

I am reading Wuthering Heights right now. A bit of a drag but not as a big of a drag as Scarlet Letter. I don't know why I keep on punishing myself to read these classics. But I like to know what is in the story and characters really like, when it had been referenced so many times in so many TV shows and books I read. So I push through, sometimes I skip the boring paragraphs. I really do not want to know what a cliff and the sea looks like anyway.

Some of the books I had read taken from my Goodreads are below. I won't write the plot synopsis. Much too lazy, but I like for it to be updated here. 

Also I had started on the Sookie Stackhouse series, 3 books for now, though I think I will only review it once I had finished the whole series. Which is gonna take a long time. I think there are 15 books altogether? Also the second last book is still about to come out??. Yeah. I am taking my time on that. Though I do say she is not much different from the series Sookie Stackhouse. I had already stopped watching True Blood, too much orgy, not much storyline. I would be intrigued to know how book Sookie would turn out. Series Sookie makes me feel like gnashing her head.

Anyway.. these are some that I had read. Oh I also read Projek Memikat Suami. My first Malay book in YEARS. Gile lama tak baca novel BM. It was a cute sweet story.

Prey by Michael Crichton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A very good, fast read. A bit too fantastical for me, and at the end it kinda don't make sense, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. That is Michael Crichton for you.





Disclosure by Michael Crichton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A good intense corporate drama. I like it, I like the tech jargon that goes into it and the research that had obviously done to make it believable. Though the full experience of the database lookup is just too fantastical and not at all helpful in real life scenario. But it makes for great scene.
Never watched the movie but I like how all the characters turned out anyway.



A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A story of a dysfunctional family drama. I like Mark Haddon writings. His story is very realistic in how we deals with relationships and family. It feels realistic.

I won't say it is an enjoyable read, but it is also not a boring or depressing read. More to interesting, you want to know what is going to happen to this people and feels at the end of the day they should be able to pull themselves together.



The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

It was meh for me. I don't get how did Hester and the Reverend manage to get together, he doesn't seem at all seems to care about her.. only how much he wronged her? So confused.

And this is consider a 'romantic' story? I don't know dude...



Projek Memikat Suami by Hanina Abdullah
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cute sweet story. Bit too happy ending-ish dan 'segala-galanye untukmu suami'. She did have a backbone at the end, but I wish it was more. But it is still a pretty cute story. I like how Nawwal never give up attitude, nice characters. Though I don't like how all of the role models in the books gave up their job for their family. I am not saying it is bad, I also want to see another role model who juggle successfully work and marriage and family.

3rd Pregnancy

Did I tell you it is gonna be a boy? It is! 

Actually I was expecting it to be a girl, tapi ok je. I am fine with it, lagi pon senang, baju2 abang die nanti semua dah ade. Color schem takyah tuka :D Abang Aziz pon nanti ade geng kan. 

When the doctor first tried to see the sex of the baby, it was partially hidden by his umbilical cord but doctor keluarkan the color2 to differentiate if its a cord or the sex and say yeps that's the boy. And the next visit  afterwards lagi ketara sampai mommy die pon nampak.

It all goes well for now.  And HOLY CRAP I AM IN MY 29 weeks now??? I think the last time I checked in the app I was around 22 weeks. Tetiba je I am in third trimester. Maseh terkejut ni. I am still thinking I am/was in 2nd trimester. 

Tengah menaip ni sambil budak kecik tunjuk2 taik lalat at my leg. He is tickled to death that tahi lalat, is called tahi lalat. He kept on saying "lalattt, lalaattt" at my leg and laugh hysterically. Sometimes I think the baby in the stomach react to his brother voice. When is being very chattery I can feel the baby move around. 

This time around I am really lazy in taking the vitamins. My gynae kinda laughed and say because you feel absolutely fine kann.. haha. Last time, there was a problem with my iron level so a lot of pills need to be given. This time everything is fine, but maybe because I am consuming a whole lot of milk during this pregnancy that my calcium and iron level does not seems so low. Lagi pon I hate that calcium pill. I am ok with the multivitamin pills because that pill goes down easily. But the calcium pills makes me feel like puking. Laki aku nyampah je. 

As for the tiredness, it is true the older you gets the more pregnancy takes a toll on your body. I am not as brisk as I was when I was carrying Aziz. Got tired and irritable more easily. Sakit pinggang is not so much as before. Lets hoping continue of smooth sailing. Bz kejab .... nanti la sambung lagi.

Things got better

Kurap

Been a while since an update. Been a bit down after the loss of Kurap. Even my enthusiasm towards my own cats kinda dull. Spent a week crying. Then right afterwards Aziz got sick, but that is another paragraph of explanation. It struck me yesterday how I am beginning to forget how Kurap looks like. And that makes me sad. However I am glad I put a lot of my cat pictures on Instagram and the video uploads too since while dropbox and phone are ok, but myInstagram are exclusively cats only. So it is easier to browse. I spent some time looking at her pictures and her video especially listening to her mews. Saying I miss her is a great understatement. More like there is a big cat size hole in my life and my day to day that can't be filled with any other cats. 

Aziz got sick

Anyway, last Thursday the taska mentioned Aziz duk muntah2. By Jumaat he is inactive and started to vomit, as I am WFH so he just stay home with me. So the whole long weekend, was us dealing with Aziz muntah and cirit birit. I never seen him that sick before actually. While my kid do have a long standing wheezing problem that come and goes, I never saw him that inactive and that irritable. Semua silap, semua mende nak emo. New things to deal with I say. 

At first I thought it was a touch of fever like the doctor says hence the bout of vomitting. So on Saturday tu aku pergi jumpa that parents/baby fair kat KL Convention Center. Aziz cheered right up that morning bile kite orang cakap nak gi jalan, no fever, lompat2 atas katil bile cakap nak gi jalan, then lepas dah beli barang die pon tidur and I took the chance to have some food at Harrods Cafe, he puked right there at Harrods mostly on the floor. The waitress was really nice about it so we have to give extra for the extra work they have to do. 

By Monday die dah ok dah, actually no more vomitting from Sunday, only cirit birit, which is not that bad, only about twice or thrice a day but in huge watery horrible mess. But by Tuesday, I decided he just stay home with me since I nak make sure he is really ok and Bukit Antarabangsa tadek air pon. So just in case if he is sick again, at least he is home with me, where I have plenty of spare water. 

So in that midst of that I felt a little spring had come back to my step. When Kurap died, I felt incredibly sluggish and felt like things are bringing me down. Now I feel my routine, my desire to do things again come up again. So yeah. Things got better. 

I am gonna tell about my pregnancy but I think this little baby bean deserve a post of his own since I neglected to update him most scandalously. 

So I will end this post with a picture of Kurap I got in my dropbox. 

This photo is back in 2012 when I was about 3 or 4 months pregnant with Aziz. Can't remember how she got out of the house, but she did, and she came back happily to me looking like this. Obviously been swimming/fell in the drain.

I had just gotten back from work and so tired from all the pregnancy nausea and felt like crying when I saw her. I HAVE TO BATH A CAT AT NIGHT AND BLOW DRY HER WHICH SHE LOATHE. Haha. I remembered feeling very angry at her. 

Sigh. Like I said. I do miss her. 

RIP Kurap. Aug 2009 - Aug 2014

Back in the days when it was just her and me.

Wednesday morning, I woke up from a phone call from my sister. She said her maid found a cat dead in a drain that looked a lot like Kurap. I immediately call husband who was on the way to work but had not got out of the taman perumahan yet. Angkat Aziz and go out to my sister house. And there it was. It was her in the drain. One of the light in my life is now gone. 

On Tuesday she was very fine. In fact she spent most of the afternoon dozing on my bed. And if she spent the day very well rested come evening it she will be restless to go out. I don't really hesitated to let her out. She is used to going out. But then she didn't come back. My husband called and called around midnight she didnt come as her usual way. But I was not too worried. Sometimes she comes in through the bathroom window. Or in the morning if worst come to worst. I did woke up at 5 am wondering if Kurap had come in. But was too tired to think about it more. Seeing her dead body in a drain is my worst nightmare. 

We speculated the cause. She might be sick that we didn't know about. She fell down (the drain where we found her next to it is a very high fence, she is a good climber but not so much a jumper, but she always manage before) chasing a cat and somehow she fell down wrong and hit her head and drowned, she got poisoned from God knows where. So many possibilities. But we didn't know. People might say that is the risk of letting a cat be outdoors. That maybe it, but it is really hard to keep the cat indoors. Also I am one of those people who believe cats should have the outdoors if they are capable or like to. Whatever the reason, most people know I love her very much. 

A bit taken aback, that like Fasha who died on exactly the same date as we found her, Kurap died on the same month too when we adopted her.

Those who just begun to read my blog, maybe can see her starting history with us from here. Those who were long time readers knows how utterly devoted we are to each other. But then I have a baby, I can no longer be as devoted, but she always try to be devoted to me when she got the chance. She was so stressed from my inattention that her fur at one point was shedding and she overgroomed her butt til its bald. Heh. She outgrew it and got the new routine. 

My sister and husband tried to comfort me and said she is old now. 6 years is not old for a cat. They are in the prime of their life in fact. I was looking forward to 6 years more. I was looking forward to take care of her cranky self when she gonna be 12 years old. But Allah tentukan semua. Maybe He knows best. 

There are so many memories we had together that will be too much to write about. Only I kinda gets her. Only I know exactly the right way to groom her. Always on the face, ears and a little on the nose. If she digs it she will lick my fingers and I know she will want that fingers that had been moistened by her to be patted on her head. She was my best friend. When I was all alone in the house and sometimes were afraid by the bump in the night, I was always comforted by the sight of her furry self next to me. She killed a lipan in the toilet once when I was busy puking over the toilet. 

Like Fasha, there can also never be another Kurap. I miss her. I want to hug her again. I want to feel again all the 5.2 kg weight I always felt when I hold her in my arms.

You were a great friend and companion Kurap. I am lucky if I meet another cat who is half as great as you. Gonna miss her forever and right now my heart just breaks knowing I can never see her again at her favorite spots which was numerous, on my keyboard, on my bed, at the corner of the babycot, next to the window, up the grills, the sofa. Most of all, I will always be haunted by the memory of you whenever I came back home and looked at the window. Knowing the most loyal of cats are no longer there to greet me home joyfully and loudly. 

A long time ago when I had just gotten her spayed

A new routine for a little while

When my long time project had finished, I was without any new one for a while. Biasa la tu. But only for about a week or so before raya. So nice jugak la time bulan puasa tu tadek la kena berkejar siapkan kerja or ape before cuti. 

Back from cuti raya je, I got a new project and surprise in store I have to work in shift. For about 3 months. The shift have to follow EMEA time, so I am currently working from 3pm til 12am. I am kinda loving this because I can work from home. Husband is loving this because that means almost everyday I will be cooking. Sebab got time maa. Gitula ceritanye. The cats love this because that means they get to be out most of the time. Well, the day. 

So I have some time to clean up the house, rearrange some stuffs, do laundry, do some groceries shopping, errand, hantar the cats to the vets when they got issues. In fact Pika2 will be sent to be spayed tomorrow. Lepas ni if die terlepas keluar tadek la risau kena impregnate dek miau jantan2 kabaret.

Itu die Pika2. and Brownie. Yeah. I got new cats. Actually one is about to be adopted. Waiting for confirmation gitu la. Brownie la. Pika2 tu, I pickup die masa tu sangat berkurap so I know how susah nak adopt out kucing kurap ni so I just kept her. But if anyone knows her I am ok with it :D Punya la lama tak berupdate pasal kucing that I didn't write it here how I found them. Maybe another time. Pika2 pon dah nak kena spayed dah. 

 Anyway, so about my routine, there were some lazy time of course, not all days I am productive, but I AM LOVING THIS SHIFT la weh. Of course quality time dengan Aziz sedikit suffer. But the thing not by much anyway sebab usually I got home around 8pm anyway and kalau kena masak lagi la sikit masa spend time dengan die. I am missing out his bedtime , but the usual morning preparation I la buat instead nowadays. So spend masa sikit time pagi je la dengan die. Bawak naik basikal la. Layan request meraban2 die. Oh walaupon I WFH I am still sending my boy to nursery. Cuma a bit later than usual. I still have a full time job. So yeah I took a break around 7.30pm till 9pm to cook and eat dinner with husband. Time tu lebih kurang macam lunch hour so ok la. By 12 am, which is by now ( which I am writing ) most of the things had finished, kira housework ke ape ke. If not by 1 am I tido la. 

This is not forever la only for this project, but I am enjoying the WFH time. Best :D . Project belom start demanding lagi, so rase macam best, bole curi2 tengok Projek Memikat Suami lagi which is on channel 104 at 5pm. Hoi comel la Emma Maembong tu. Ye sekarang adalah musim Rindu 200%, but I just can't deal with the woman .

Raya 2014

Well this is late. Tapi kenaaa jugak post gambar raya. Just because we are not a family who likes to take pictures.

Susah gile nak amik gambar ni dengan budak kecik. Setiap kali we try to take a picture of him he will be more interested in looking through the camera lense. Last2 I bagi die my phone. Baru nak la datang duduk tepi mommy. Nak suruh pandang kamera tu another battle la plak, so I let it go lah. 

Raya this year in JB. At first thought it was gonna be my family with my mom. Kesian la plak so I persuaded my husband to go back a little bit early so I can help my mom. Apa sangat la aku ni bole buat la kan. But it turned out my youngest brother came back on Saturday with his family for first raya. So meriah la rumah sikit. Spent a good time in JB. Had a lot of food. My mom bekalkan us daughters kuah laksa johor frozen and satay goreng frozen (actually that is only for me sebab I je tak reti buat satay goreng lagi) when it is time for us to go back to KL. We are a queen of frozen food. My mom taw anak2 die tak pro masak cam die. 

Then petang raya first pulak my eldest sister and my younger brother pon join dari kampung mertua masing2. So ramai la kami2 ni semua. Raya in JB laidback sikit banding raya kat Sarawak. Malam selalu tadek plan sangat. Tengahhari pon rilek je kat rumah. Pagi je busy sikit. Petang tak habis2 pergi Angsana. Sibuk nak beli jubah la katakan. Bought an abaya that was just right for my height! Tak meleret2 kain die. Rimas aku kain leret2 ni. 

Oh baju raya aku at gambar di atas, the kain tu after basuh tukar warna silver ok. Haha. Cakap kat laki aku, ok la tu next year tak yah beli baju lebih, ni kira macam baju baru gak. 

Anyway hope it is not too late Selamat Hari Raya to you all.

Aziz is now 2 years old

Dah tak baby dahhhh. Mommy sad. Pftthh. Our child will always be our baby kut. (kite tengok statement tu bole pakai ke tak 10 tahun akan datang ). 

His birthday falls on Sunday time semua orang sibuk balik dari kampung ke rumah masing-masing. So we celebrated it a bit early. We bought the kek raya ketiga tu lepas balik beraya dari Kluang. Singgah JPO jab to find some baju for Aziz and my husband nak beli work shirts die. Over taw baju die skang mahal2. Aku beli kat FOS je. 

So sebab alang-alang di JPO tu we decided belikan Aziz ice cream cake je la since ade Baskin Robbins there. Lagipon bile raya ni muak sikit kek2 biasa ni kan. Kalau ade ais krim seleraa sikit.. Ini selera mak ni kek ni. Bukan anak. Masuk2 Baskin Robbins aku dah ngusha satu kek coklat aiskrim in display ni. Tapi Aziz dah excited tunjuk kek lain cakap 'Nak niii'. Sebab birthday anak, kite kena la ngalah. 

Memula nak keluarkan kek bile time my sister anak punye akikah the next day tu. Pastu lupaaaa. Ko tengok la mak jenis ape aku ni. Last2 malam tu celebrate la die dengan 2 orang cousin die. 

Kek Aziz pilih. Die suke la tu. Kalerful.

Aziz attempt to blow out the candle. Tapi kazen tepi tu lagi berjaya.

I think kat taska dah biasa ade orang celebrate birthday tiup lilin, so when we stick the candles on top of the cakes die sendiri nyanyi "to youuuu,  to youuu". Itu je la die duk ulang2. 

As for his development. He is growing up fast and beautifully. I am sometimes amazed on the words he picked up. And mannerism too. Ade sekali tu, aku ajak die naik atas untuk tido, lepas tu die pandang aku, angkat tangan die kat aku stail orang selalu buat kalau orang tu suruh orang tu tunggu, and cakap "kejab lagi". Sometimes his words are so clear that you can be a bit startled that he knows how to express this, other times it just sounded German to me. 

Bab lain2 tu. Ok la. Dah know his own mind a.k.a banyak songeh. Bile nak mandi , elak2. Bile nak suh makan.. "nanakkkkk". But most of the time, he is an easy child to handle la. Shy around new people, bile dah kenal lama sikit baru la start engine nakal die. 

Boleh disuruh untuk buat simple task. Suruh sapu. Die sapu 1 mins, 10 mins lagi die sibuk patahkan lidi penyapu tu. Bukak kipas tanpa disuruh. Letak botol susu atas meja. Susun mainan balik je tak dan lagi. 

While these are the phase of the terrible two, when he is excitedly talking to me in gibberish I felt like I can't wait for him to grow up and express what he is really on his mind. 

By the way, Aziz cakap kek tu sedap. Nanti mommy die update lagi pasal mende lain lakk. 

Bile suruh die tunjuk sedap macam mana die buat thumbs up. Haha. He enjoyed his ice cream. Dan masa raya tu dari raya kedua duk hujan in JB, so bole la nampak kena resort to menyidai dalam rumah. Haha. 

Might as well post something

I am on the bench. Itu means tadek project assignment so duduk 'folded arms doing nothing' is what a manager said we are doing. Wah. Emoism aku baca. Eh eh.. sape yang suruh release awal dari project. Pastu nak keluarkan ayat kongajaq. Cets. Dah tu training material pon tak bagi lagi untuk new upcoming task, pastu nak emoism lak. Kan aku emoism. 

Geram taw pagi2. Naseb baik traffic jam di pagi ini kurang. I think people had already started their raya holiday. Mine started on Friday till 5th ( which is Tuesday the following raya week) . Lama. Itu pon manager tak approve lagi cuti, angin gak aku. Apply dah awal dah. Tadek assignment tapi approvenye tak lagi. 

Nak talk about pregnancy ni, tunggu la another checkup by Dr Tan soon-ish this Friday. Wanna ask about induce after caesar, because I really do not want to be induced and after reading about Dr Seri case and asking my sister about it, she told me the risk associated with induce if you had undergone caesar recently ( summary - bad for all around ). So kena la tanye nanti. 

Aziz is gonna be two soon. And I had seen marked improvements in language and social skills. He is a bit of a bully. But not too bad. Lagi budak tu nangis, lagi die suke aggravate. Tapi kalau barang die kena ambik, taw pulak nangis. Budaakkkk. Also at least these past few days die takdela mintak nak tengok Mr Peabody and Sherman. Naseb baik cerita tu best, tapi ade la limit berapa kali kena tengok dak. 

Also just heard the news that a schoolmate of mine in JB dulu died last night due to a road accident. Kinda jolted me a little on how sudden death is. We think we have all the time in the world sometimes but we always forget death can comes everywhere and in any form. 

Makin hari pon makin malas masak. Tapi rase malas nak makan luar. Sebab mesti overate. Pastu nanti mula la loya esok. Blergh. So plan today. Masak spagetti aje. Abeskan barang dalam fridge cepat2 sebelom raya. 

Puasa pon setakat ni baru 2 hari lopong. Satu sebab cirit birit. Satu lagi last Monday pagi2 dah throw up and rase weng sepanjang masa. Fuhhh.. tapi maseh bertenaga gi makan buffet kat Mandarin Oriental. MAKAN FREE JANGAN TOLAK! 

Anyway. Ini random update to whatever la. Kalau rajin I post mende lain. Petang ni. Kalau dah tadek keje sangat2. Hahahha.

Berharap semoga boss aku approve cuti sebelom balik keje ni. Nyampah sangat last minit baru die nak tunggu. Ape la wehhhh. Approve je la. Orang tu nak assign project ke tak, that is their problem sebab lembap sangat. *muka emoism* Sebab semalam suh aku cuti start dari hari ni, tetiba tuka tune lak.

Another tragedy

Right now people are reeling from the tragedy of the alleged shooting down of commercial flight MH17.

And from what I can see in the news the Australia PM is especially furious. Very quick response from US which is no surprise since anything related with Putin they will interfere. UK are still cautious.The Ukraine and Russia conflict will now be rehashed. God only knows what will come out of this.

I am pitying my country. I am pitying MAS. Most of all, pity is not the word I will describe my feelings towards the family and victim. Sadness is. And angry. As this should not happened.

Al fatihah to the passengers and crews who lost their life in that flight.

Reviews of books

My short reviews. I had read a lot of books during this pregnancy. Even I was quite amazed. Last pregnancy I was only resolved to finish the Fire and Ice series ( well ... what is now on store lah..). 

This pregnancy, I felt constantly the need to read. And Candy Crush. So these are some of the books I had read. There are some I had read but not yet reviewed, because there are currently 3 ongoing books I am reading! Two I left off because it gets a bit boring and another a bit of a downer. I can't read too much downer books. I think there are many more books I read but can't remember I had read it. Will update that soon. Also there are a few other books I reread. Those I won't review. Malas.

Black Sunday by Thomas Harris
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

About: Basically about a terrorist plot to kill thousands of people during the superbowl. I think.

Review: It was ok in the beginning, then it patters off . The characters are boring, not delved enough into even those with the deep psychological damage. His motive never really makes sense to me. Have a very slow buildup and the climax is like 5 10 pages long? I can barely read the end.

Labyrinth by Kate Mosse
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 About: July 2005. In the Pyrenees mountains near Carcassonne, Alice, a volunteer at an archaeological dig, stumbles into a cave and makes a startling discovery-two crumbling skeletons, strange writings on the walls, and the pattern of a labyrinth.

Eight hundred years earlier, on the eve of a brutal crusade that will rip apart southern France, a young woman named Alais is given a ring and a mysterious book for safekeeping by her father. The book, he says, contains the secret of the true Grail, and the ring, inscribed with a labyrinth, will identify a guardian of the Grail. Now, as crusading armies gather outside the city walls of Carcassonne, it will take a tremendous sacrifice to keep the secret of the labyrinth safe.

Review: I quite like it. The book while very thick, moves fast and though I do think some scenes are a bit unnecessary but it is ok.  I like the current and past characters. Though at time I do feel frustrated at Alais naivete and the husband. She can be annoying and her husband even more. I like the mystery being setup but not really impressed with the 'supernatural' elements of it. I think it could be more. However this is a good introduction to her books and look forward to read more of her works.



The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

About: Anthony Bridgerton hasn't just decided to marry--he's even chosen a wife! The only obstacle is his intended's older sister, Kate Sheffield--the most meddlesome woman ever to grace a London ballroom. The spirited schemer is driving Anthony mad with her determination to stop the betrothal, but when he closes his eyes at night, Kate is the woman haunting his increasingly erotic dreams...

Contrary to popular belief, Kate is quite sure that reformed rakes do not make the best husbands--and Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked rogue of them all. Kate is determined to protect her sister--but she fears her own heart is vulnerable. And when Anthony's lips touch hers, she's suddenly afraid she might not be able to resist the reprehensible rake herself...

Review: The Bridgerton family is my favorite book series by Julia Quinn, though the best have to be The Duke and I. All the subsequent Bridgerton series, went a bit downhill after a few I think... but nice to read that the only 2 I haven't read yet (Anthony and Benedict stories) is very enjoyable and the chemistry between the two seems right.

The plot is just as you would predict from reading the synopsis, though the reason to 'not want to fall in love with wife' feels crazy for a supposed sensible Anthony. The reasoning just do not match. But I guess an obstacle is imminent and this is the best she could come up with?

A Street Cat Named Bob: How One Man and His Cat Found Hope on the Streets by James Bowen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

About: The moving, uplifting true story of an unlikely friendship between a man on the streets and the ginger cat who adopts him and helps him heal his life.

Review: This book is a simple story about how a cat turn a man life around. I am bonkers about my cats, I think my cats are the best. However reading about Bob, this is a very special cat. I can never get my cat to a walk, ( maybe I haven't tried hard enough) but my cat also would not keep still on a busy street.

I like the story. James story is about a man who lost his way in life and found purpose through adopting Bob ( or Bob adopt James. Many pet owners would say,it is the animals that adopt us). It can be a bit repetitive and the truly ugly bits are never shown, but it is a good clean story which I devour quickly.

A heartwarming book with simple writing to sum it up. Hence the 4 stars. I was never bored by Bob.

The World According to Bob: The Further Adventures of One Man and His Street-wise Cat by James Bowen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

About: Continuation from the book before this.

Review: Again Bob and James adventure begin anew. Actually not begin anew. It just continue. Like how life really is.

This time I thought it would be not as good. But it was ok. I am hooked well enough. It deals more with James health struggle and how Bob was there for him. ( well seems like it ).

The book continue to be an enjoyable simple read. I would suggest this read on a lazy day with your cat nearby.

Bob really seems like a super cat. No wonder James really do not want to let him go, he is a one in a billion cat. They are both lucky to have each other. I wish them both the best.

Campor aje

It had been a tiring Ramadhan so far for me. 

For one thing, waking up at 5 is not something I am used to. Also waking up early also mean caffeine buzz which I can't have during puasa because caffeine is not something you take during sahur also not so good for a pregnant mom who can sometimes still have to fight her way trough nauseousness. I need my caffeine with food! Without it I can get headache. That being said cakap caffeine fix macam I am a huge coffee drinker. No. I only drink a little coffee, just enough to get the spring on my feet so to speaks.

Also this puasa my routine change. Usually I arrived at office at 10.30 am. That is early mind you. Heh. Nowadays, I make it to the office at around 8.30 am. Just so I can go home at 4 pm. Aku tak sanggup mengharungi jam kul 5 ke atas. Lagi sanggup bangun awal dan pergi awal so can balik awal. And the traffic at 4.15pm is hectic jugak! Gile. Die orang ni keluar office kul 3.30 pm ke? 

Setakat ni masih tidak tinggal puasa. Yeay! Ade la a few times macam tempted especially those few times I missed sahur, but I felt not too bad, so I carry on. I am not saying I am hoping for full puasa sebab takleh nak predict kan. But if larat go through, tak larat takpela. 

Also I manage to cook after monthsss not being in kitchen. Laki aku lega. Tapi tadekle full lega. Simple2 je aku masak. Tapi memang dari dulu aku reti masak simple je. Heh. Lagi2 dengar kes budak masuk icu makan roti john. Terus buat roti john sendiri. Eh senang je rupanye. Hah. Memang tak beli sangat laa kat pasar ramadhan. Bukan tak beli langsung. Laki aku rajin membeli kueh mueh and air. Though I got so many desserts in my fridge still uneaten! Bread butter pudding, my blueberry pie, creme caramel. Siap buat blueberry pies sendiri lagi. Hebat tak? Tak hebat sangat sebab guna ready made pastry tu. Tapi tak best la. Kena buat from scratch gak. I pon rase tak thrill makan. Tah bile nak buat lagi tahh. Bile dah ok baru tayang di blog. Tayang subpar result di blog ni malu la. 

Haven't say much about my pregnancy. OK la so far. I am reallyyyy behind in taking multivitamins. Most of the time I forgot, some of the times I was feeling too pukey to bother. Maybe I should put in reminder in phone. Hoping the baby is safe and well and so far he is.

My gynae pon baru tanye delivery plan. I told her most probably cuba jalan normal dulu, if macam dulu csect je la. Gile cool aku jawab. Ko tunggu laaaa nanti bile tibe labor pains. Fuh fuh. I can still remember puking because of the intense pain. Though a few nights ago I mimpi I kena csection. Hoho. 

My sister had just delivered a baby boy! She delivered early, on 35th week,  partly due to her condition ( prone to early delivery, she had contractions from 30th weeks! Thank God all is safe) also partly she said to the horrendous rush hour traffic during puasa. Hehehe. But the baby is fine, no need to be in incubator and so sweet looking. Baru tengok sekali, tapi bukan main pandai pandang kiri kanan cari source of sound. Especially bile cousin2 die menggile keliling die. Aziz even try to rock his hospital basket bed tu. Hoi cuak. 

Oh last night saje kasi Aziz main bunga api. Memula his father start with mercun, terus la meloncat Aziz ke kaki ku, 'akuuuttt' cakapnye. Bagi bunga api he ran for the door. 

cuak

 Then cousin2 die ajak main kat rumah die orang. Still takut but boleh la pegang sekali.

Lepas tu die cakap. "nanak . akuuut"

Heh sian. Dah habis die main satu bunga api die sibuk nak main buih pulak. My sister maid layankan je. Memang die tengah phase takut. Takut bunga api. Takut bunyi guruh. Takut tido dalam gelap. Dah kenal erti takut. Tahun lepas siap nak pegang bunga api kat api tu lagi.
