**no raya photo just yet, so hv to use old photo hehehee… will update the photo later ya ^-^v

this is what happened to me last Monday. I was planning to update my blog and tried to log in to my WP acc then suddenly….. whoa!!! panic sekejap….

then I remembered, I’ve been ignoring two emails from my hosting reminds me about the payment. naaaaaa kannnnnnnn….. tu la, RM16.20 jak pun, doiiii!!!!! So, with a bit of encouragement to pay the bills online later tht afternoon, emailed the hosting copy of the receipt, after a few emails exchanged between me and the hosting, they finally un-suspended my acc for a while till the payment confirmed (I used my CIMB clicks to pay the bills which took a few days to clear). I did tried to update my blog afterwards but seems to hv problem downloading  my photos. And today, I manage to post this entry

**Dear my hosting, I know you’ve been good to me from the first day I got u and I feel sorry for neglecting ur emails (this is the first time ok…). I promise this won’t happen again ^-^v

Last two weeks I went to ante-natal class at Likas Hospital wif hubby. But before tht, I have to register  a week early to book a date and the nurse who in charge reminded me to bring along small pillow and a mat (yoga mat or what ever you are comfortable with) buat apa pulak bantal n mat???

When the day came, we woke up early, had our breakfast, shower, bersiap semua then went to the hospital. The class was suppose to start at 8.45am but the nurse only turned up at 9am… ok la, forgive and forget. Since this is our first time coming to the class, so they took us for a tour around the hospital especially the gyne clinic and ward. Do you know that Hospital Likas got about 23 rooms (six patients per room) for normal ward and the patient come and go every hour. Me and hubby was like whoa!!! mcmn la km ni nnt… they got only 4 rooms for first class and a few rooms for 2nd class (which is 2 person per room). And it’s a first come first serve basis, you cannot book early (for 1st and 2nd class), because the booking only opens during your delivery. Berabut la ni taw… And all rooms mostly occupied  everyday, as I said patience come n go…. No wonder sometimes you can see pregnant moms sleeping on the floor (of course with mattress and pillow etc.) but imagine there’s not enough bed to sleep, and you hv to sleep on the floor. Mcm tension jgk tu kan, but some people can stand the situation, as long as they can deliver the baby safely.

Anw, forget about tht… we decided to think of the situation when my time comes. So, for time being, just act normal and be happy for the baby’s sake. If u asking me where I want to deliver the baby, I would prefer government. Yup, me and hubby have decided to go for government hospital. It’s not tht we don’t consider the private but after heard a stories from friend, and reading friend’s blog, most of them suggested government. Lgpun, klu ada emergency (in case la kan) the private will send you to government hospital. But then we have to berabut for at least 2nd class punya ward la kan, in case 1st class tu full hehehee

So, the ante-natal class went out smoothly… we did enjoy it. Basically the class was handled by three psychiatrist and they thought us on how to handle our stress, showed us light exercises tht we can practice at home whenever we experience back ache or muscle cramp (oooooooooo no wonder la mo mat n bantal, ada senaman pulak….). No photos taken since we were bz doing the routine heeeee… Our next class is on the 17th July, where they will give a talk on how to handle newborn baby, they also going to teach on how to nurse the baby (breastfeed la ni kan) and more. Hubby will be joining the class oso since he’s going to be by my side during delivery, insya Allah…

The class took about more than two hours. Before we went home, there was refreshment and each one of us went home with a small goodies….

yup, the maternity toothpaste and stretch mark cream… i did tried both of the product. And I like the toothpaste coz it does not cause any tooth decay or sensitive gums… tau la klu pregnant ni gigi pun jd sensitive. so, I really reccomend the product and safe for the mom n the baby. Do u know, some toothpaste product contains too much fluoride tht can harm ur baby??? Haven’t done any research (googled) on this, better do it next time kan.

The stretch mark cream, I used it for a few times and it was oso a good product. But a friend recommended me  butter cream. So, I went to gurdian the other day and bought this body butter. I love the product because it contains natural ingredient such as oats and soya. It’s smells good and quite cheap oso, I bought this for RM12.00.

O ya…. am excited to tell u all that after the class, me and hubby went to Parkson to do a personal shopping for my friend. Now, I know why she loves being personal shopper (PS) so much!! It feels great!! why??? because you can get yourself a chance to try the product and get free sample heheheee… My friend asked me to buy her Lancome BB Base cream. And I know only one place to get the thing which is Parkson. Dunno why, but ever since am pregnant, I love wondering around at Parkson, especially the baby and kitchen area and I personally think it’s cheaper compare to Metrojaya Suria KK.

UV expert GN shield with SPF 50 PA+++

I haven’t ask my friend how the product was… hopefully she can gain her baby skin back because she used to have a smooth baby skin back then

samples tht I got from Lancome SA…

***hhhmmm

me: ini la ba ni kan…

hubby: ya ka? dia bilang spf 50 tu, bukan spf 30 ka?

me: ini la ni abg adie… tgk aaa ma ada tulis dlm kertas. BB Base UV expert Gn shield! nah, ini la bah ni. mmg la spf50, ngam klu d pulau sap panas kan…

hubby: bukan spf 30 ka????

me: nda la, ada jgk bah spf50. (I was like, man…. dorang tau smpi spf30 jak kali aaa…)

hubby: tny nnt c pia, lepas dia pki bertukar jd Brooke Shield ka dia?

me: aaaaaa???? knp pulak?

hubby: ya la, dia pki Lancome kan…

me: apa kaitan sm Brooke Shiled?

hubby: dia pun pakai Lancome kan

me: ya ka?

hubby: ya ba… lm sdh tu

me: hhhmmmm (beh… yg itu tau pulak dia…. confuse aku sekejap???)…

Calling out all UMS Alumni to join the Homecoming 2010 “Bah…. jom balik kampus” starting 11th – 13th June 2010. For more info on the programme, just go to the website. For registration, click HERE.

“Pusat Hubungan Alumni (PHA) telah ditubuhkan pada tahun 2004 di bawah Jabatan Hal Ehwal Pelajar & Alumni (HEPA) selaras dengan pengembangan fungsi TNC Hal Ehwal Pelajar Alumni (HEPA) seluruh IPTA. Program UMS ALUMNI : HOMECOMING 2010 adalah yang pertama kalinya dianjurkan oleh Pusat Hubungan Alumni sebagai usaha mengeratkan hubungan ahli alumni dengan alma maternya (iaitu UMS) di samping memperkenalkan fungsi penubuhan Pusat Hubungan Alumni.

Sebelum pewujudan Pusat Hubungan Alumni, pengurusan hal ehwal Alumni diletakkan di Bahagian perhubungan Korporat, Jabatan Canselori dan aktiviti berkaitan alumni dianjurkan sendiri oleh Persatuan Alumni UMS dengan kerjasama pihak unversiti. Seperti juga di IPTA lain masa kini, fungsi Pusat Hubungan Alumni adalah signifikan dan menjadi agenda strategik universiti dalam usaha mengekalkan hubungan berterusan di antara alumni dengan alma maternya melalui penganjuran pelbagai program/aktiviti seperti alumni tracey study, alumni homecoming dan lain-lain lagi.

Menyedari kepentingan dan tanggungjawab terhadap alma mater ini juga, Pusat Hubungan Alumni mewujudkan perkongsian pintar, sumbangan idea dan kepakaran dalam usaha membangunkan universiti dan mewujudkan Penubuhan Tabung Amanah Alumni. Selain itu, ia juga menjadi perantara universiti dalam menjalin dan memantapkan hubungan bersama alumni. Reputasi atau kemajuan hubungan di antara alumni dan alma maternya adalah penting dan menjadi salah satu kriteria dalam menobatkan kecemerlangan sesebuah universiti. Oleh yang demikian, sebagai universiti yang pesat membangun, usaha untuk memperkasakan fungsi dan peranan PHA sebagai pemangkin kepada pembangunan hal ehwal alumni perlulah diberi sokongan dan kerjasama sepenuhnya oleh pihak pengurusan universiti.

Program UMS ALUMNI : HOMECOMING 2010 adalah langkah pertama PHA pada tahun ini ke arah memperkasakan fungsi dan peranan PHA dan seterusnya meletakkan UMS setanding dengan IPTA dalam mahupun luar Negara dalam konteks pembangunan alumninya.”

Do you ever buy anything from Senheng? If yes, are you a PlusOne member? Again, if your answer is yes, i want you to answer this “Do you enjoy the benefit as a member?” Some of you might be wondering why I’m asking this… Well to tell you the truth, i enjoy being one of the member! ahaksss… mcm suspen jak, I bet some of you might guess i will say something -ve bah kan?! heheheee…

I did mention to you in my previous post that my laptop broke down. FYI, I bought the lappy from Senheng on August 2008 at Kolombong Branch. The SA who entertained us at tht time was a very good person. He really knows how to persuade people to buy the product (weiiii am not saying tht am an easy person to persuade ya) tell you, he’s really good! And he managed to get us signed up as a member of PlusOne. To tell you the truth, at first I didn’t see how this membership thingy can benefit me. All I know, it’s just about a point and you can redeem something from the point you’ve collected. And of course, you have to buy to get those points (ah ha! another marketing strategy…) Same as Survey, Bonuslink, Mesra bla… bla… It’s a strategy to get people coming back to buy more. Ala, normal la tu kan… even kedai runcit oso got their own member book, org kg2 panggil buku 888 LOLLss…. but you’ll never get a point for that kind of thing la ;p

Anw, back to my story… my membership was overdue last year and I never got the intention to renew the status (ala, byr RM10 jak pun). And I never bother to claim my redeem point even though I know I entitled to. I was thinking tht I lost my points once my membership title due. But to my surprise, I keep on receiving vouchers from Senheng and my points remains. Not like other card, once ur membership overdue, you lost all your points if you did not renew within the period given. Kdg2 pndi berkurang lagi, expired!!  And I was like, “oooo..kkk laaa….” (smbl anguk2 kepala hehehee).

Then till one fine Friday (Good Friday), I was in a hurry to email Lionel (BC Buddy) and suddenly my lappy went completely blank and all I can hear was ‘tut, tut, tut, tut…’ Allah, napa sdh ni???!!!!   uwaaaa….

Asked hubby to checked on it, then he called our ‘sifu’ (his friend, computer expert) and said to me, “display card dia rusak. Klu sekali dgn mother board paksa ganti mother board skali la ni. so mo bw p service center“.

Me (with innocent face… thought am the one who responsible kan, so buat muka kasian la…) replied, “berapa la tu abg adie?“

Hubby: sepatutrnya free bah tu, masih under warranty kan sap kt member.

Me: oooooooooo… jd bl mo hntr?

Hubby: bisuk la. Pas keja. Mn ma simpan tu warranty card dia?

Me: mmmm… mmmmm…. mmm… ada tu dlm beg.

Hubby: beg mn satu? bukan dlm file biru tu ka? sekali sm dokumen2 syg tu…

Me: ya sn la tu heeee (padahal, sy sendiri pun tia tau mn sdh tu warranty card dia. matik la begini ni… mesti kana byr ni sap teda warranty card!!)

Well, we manage to send the lappy (after lots and lots of searching for the card), WITHOUT the warranty card (I couldn’t find it. I think I lost it somewhere). Me n hubby siap bepakat lagi, do not mention anything about warranty card, not even a hint. So, after talking to the SA, he took our lappy and ask for my PlusOne card. and I was like …. can feel tht big grin on my face. Cepat2 sa bg ni terus haha… Then he promised us the lappy will be ready by two weeks.

After two weeks, we went there but the SA who entertained us was very disappointing. She seems dunno how to treat a MEMBER properly so we went home. A few days after tht, someone from  Senheng, KL HQ called hubby and confirmed about the lappy problem. On top of tht hubby did mentioned to the guy about the poor service the lady gave us. He was quite shocked (from the way he talked la) about the complaint and promise will do something about it. And another week after tht, we received a call from Senheng Kolombong telling us tht the lappy was ready. Alhamdulillah… I was so relieved.

And I got my lappy back without paying anything   The SA said our warranty balance for the lappy is RM2100 and we still hv another two years before it due. If something happen with the lappy within the period, let say a total lost (we cannot use the lappy anymore) we still can claim for another new lappy (or paling cikai pun ganti parts seja la) for FREE but the total should not exceeded the value of the warranty la. Kalau lebih then we hv to pay. Overall, am happy oso renewed my membership *sigh* and managed to redeemed a PENSONIC toaster for only RM35 +RM1 (for another year warranty)… syiok kan…

There goes my story… mcm pnjg plak my entry ni kan… Lessons to learn, use ur rights as a member and most important thing is, keep ur documents (even a receipt) safely. You’ll never know if something bad happen. And it’s kinda boring without a photo in this post kan? hhhmmmm… at least one photo should be ok bah la… so, i concluded my mumbo jumbo story with the picture of our new toaster… hehehee…

nikmatnya klu dpt tgk world cup using astro b-yond

the emcee (lady with yellow shirt). noticed the clown near the stage, i was hoping he came to me because i really want the balloon with butterfly shape!!

they came all the way from africa just to perform a world cup safari dance

there’s me, audrey n jenk… duh, sy tertidur ka tu??? because of the raining, most of us stayed along the corner, right in front of the gerais…

sasuka band… performed after andalusia (sorry, no photo of andalusia… i wonder what am i doing at tht time hhmmm)

alice…

audrey and jenk

the divine master… if you notice the vocalist is Lotter (AF). ok la the performance, looks gempak because they hv their own crowd…

aahhhh… this is the crowd tht i mentioned earlier… they came all the way from Membakut, peminat c lotter la bah ni kan.

xfm djs… if tuned in to 98.6fm, u can listen to them rambling every monday to friday morning (if am not mistaken la). but i like the segment they called ‘teacher, teacher’… funny and at the same time we can learn english oso… as i said, in a funny way la

stonebay

ah ha!!! they are the main reason we stuck here actually. hv u heard of Stonebay? this is the one. the vocalist is sabahan, bassist is indonesian, drummer is sarawakian and the other guitarist is from kl i guess… this was the first time they perform in sabah, but before this they already performed in few places in kl, sarawak n indonesia. if you want to listen to their songs, just tuned in to xfm (98.6fm).

fyi, they invited WORM to do a small project, so hubby and his band oso the management team was there to support them. and me, as usual tagged along

salam n hello everyone… just finish sending emails to my students and had a chance for blogwalking. It’s been quite a while since my last blogwalking and i kinda miss my so called routine heheheee… anw, was hopping at Natrah’s blog and came accross her latest entry. she was told by her friend to spread the news of baby Hana and i feel that i hv the responsibility too after reading it. the story was….

“Saya Rohaiza Bte Ishak. Saya merupakan guru Kemahiran Hidup di MRSM Muar. Tujuan saya menulis email ini ialah untuk memohon belas kasihan dari pembaca kerana anak kedua saya yang bernama NurHannah Bte Mohamed Helmi berusia 3 bulan tidak sihat.

Ketika bersalin, anak saya lemas kerana tali pusat keluar lebih kurang 40 minit sebelum saya bersalin. Ini menyebabkan anak saya lemas kerana tidak mendapat oksigen kerana tali pusat sudah terkeluar.

Apabila doctor scan (MRI) otak anak saya, doctor menyatakan bahawa anak saya terencat akal kerana sel-sel otak telah mati kerana kekurangan oksigen. Hanya Allah yang tahu apa yang saya rasa ketika itu.

Kaki bagaikan tidak jejak ke bumi. Muka saya pucat bagaikan tiada darah lagi. Hampir 3 minggu saya mengambil masa untuk terima hakikat apa yang doctor terangkan mengenai anak saya. Hari-hari saya menangis. Saya rasakan hati saya kosong.

Selepas 3 minggu saya cuba berkongsi masalah dengan teman sekerja. Semangat saya mula datang apabila ada rakan yang mengalami situasi yang sama seperti saya iaitu anak mereka lemas ketika bersalin. Doktor juga menyatakan anak mereka terencat akal. Tetapi kuasa Allah mengatasi segalanya dan anak mereka alhamdulillah sihat. Tetapi saya akui bahawa saya hanya insan yang lemah. Kadang-kadang saya kuat, kadang-kadang saya lemah sangat.

Rakan menasihati saya agar perbanyakkan solat hajat, baca yassin dan bersedekah. Alhamdulillah. Saya melakukan semua nasihat yang mereka berikan. Perkembangan terbaru tentang anak saya ialah dia masih lagi belum boleh menghisap dan menelan. Minum susu menggunakan tiub yang dimasukkan terus ke perut. Suction machine pula digunakan untuk menyedut air liur kerana anak masih tidak boleh menelan.

2 minggu lepas anak dimasukkan ke hospital kerana jangkitan kuman pada paru2. Ketika itu keadaan anak terlalu lemah menyebabkan doctor sukar mencari urat anak. Pilihan kedua ialah masukkan line hingga ke tulang.

Sekali lagi anak saya diduga iaitu selepas 3 hari kaki anak bengkak. Apabila doctor buat x-ray, rupanya kaki anak saya patah kerana dicucuk ketika memasukkan line.Pergerakan anak saya tidak seaktif bayi kerana kesan kurangnya oksigen di otak ..tambahan pula kaki kanan anak bersimen.

Hanya Allah tempat saya mengadu. Jika boleh, biarlah saya yang menanggung semua kesakitan itu, bukan anak saya yang berumur 3 bulan. Minum guna tiub, tak tahu menelan…kaki pula bersimen.

Kalian bayangkanlah bagaimana perasaan seorang ibu yang menjaga janin dalam kandungan bagaikan menatang minyak yang penuh. Tetapi selepas lahir, begitu besar ujian untuk anak saya.Terus terang saya katakan bahawa ini adalah ujian yang maha-maha besar dalam hidup saya. Saya bersyukur kerana Allah menguji saya kerana Dia sayangkan saya dan anak.

Dikesempatan ini saya memohon, merayu dan menagih simpati agar kalian dapat meluangkan masa untuk melakukan sembahyang hajat agar kesihatan anak saya pulih dan jauhkanlah anak saya dari sebarang kecacatan.

Andainya terlalu berat permintaan saya, bacakanlah Al-Fatihah. Jika permintaan ini juga berat, cukuplah kalian mengucapkan INSYAALLAH agar anak saya sihat, dijauhkan dari kecacatn dan dipulihkan kerosakan pada otaknya. Mudah-mudahan dengan keikhlasan kalian, doa kalian dimakbulkan. Hanya Allah yang mampu membalas budi kalian.

Saya juga memohon agar kalian dapat forwardkan email ini kepda rakan-rakan kalian agar dapat membantu anak saya. Kesihanilah anak saya kerana dia terlalu kecil untuk memahami erti kesakitan. Jika ada nasihat, pengalaman dan ilmu..emailkanlah kepada saya rozex_3056@yahoo.com.my. Di sini saya sertakan panduan sembahyang hajat. Mudah-mudahan bolehlah kalian amalkan jika ingin memohon sesuatu hajat. Percaya dan yakinlah bahawa Allah maha mendengar doa dari hambaNya.”

Solat Hajat

1) Niat Ushalli sunnatal hajati rak’ataini lillaahi ta’aala.

2) Tiap-tiap 2 rakaat sesudah membaca al-fatihah, baca Ayat kursi 1x, dan Kul huallah huahad sebanyak 1x.

3) Sehabis salam yang terakhir, sujud semula. teruslah meminta hajat kepada Allah dengan khusyuk.Insyaallah Allah makbulkan.

Ayat Kursi

Allahu laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyl qayuum, la tak khu-dzuhuu sinataunw walaa naw-um, lahuu maa fis samawaati wamaa fil-ardhi, man dzal-la-dzii yasy-fa-‘u indahuu illaa bi-idz-nihii, ya’-lamu maa bayna aydiihim, wamaa khal-fahum walaa yuhii-thuuna bi-syai-inm min’ilmihii illa bimaa syaa-a, wasi-‘a kursiy-yuhus samaawaati wal-ar-dha, walaa ya-uu-duhuu hifzhuhumaa wahuwal ‘aliy-yul azhim.

Gambar ini diambil pada hari ke-2 kelahiran Hana. Waktu ini Hana di ICU nursery. Hana bernafas menggunakan mesin kerana ketika lahir, denyutan jantung sudah terhenti. Doktor melakukan CPR untuk mendapatkan semula nyawa Hana. Allah Maha Berkuasa. Alhamdulillah.

Ini gambar 2 minggu lepas ketika di wad knk2 tiba2 pernafasan Hana laju. Doktor memberi saya 2 pilihan. Pilihan pertama untuk mendakap Hana buat saat terakhir kerana Hana terlalu sukar bernafas. Pilihan kedua pula ialah masuk ke ICU dan memasukkan kembali tiub pernafasan. Doktor menerangkan jika tiub sukar di masukkan ke mulut, mereka akan masukkan melalui leher dengan menebuk leher Hana. Dengan kuasa Allah tiub berjaya dimasukkan melalui mulut.

Ini gambar ketika Hana dimasukkan ke ICU selepas tiub pernafasan dimasukkan melalui mulut. Hanya air mata saya yang menemani Hana ketika di ICU kerana saya tidak dibenarkan menjaga Hana ketika di ICU.

Ini gambar selepas kaki Hana disimen. Tiub di mulut Hana digunakan untuk menyusu. Belum lagi pandai menghisap, kaki pula patah. Alhamdulillah atas ujian yang diberikan. Saya redha.

“Saya berharap dengan melihat gambar Hana, lahirlah sedikit simpati dari kalian. Cuma doa yang saya pohon dari kalian agar Hana boleh membesar seperti kanak-kanak yang sempurna. Jauhkanlah Hana dari kecacatan.

Mudah-mudahan Allah gantikan sel yang rosak di otak Hana dengan sel yang baru dan dipilih di kalangan sel yang terbaik untuk Hana. Inilah doa yang tiap kali saya baca setiap sujud yang terakhir, setiap kali lepas solat fardu dan solat hajat.

Mudah-mudahan Allah makbulkan segala doa dan Allah berkati segala usaha saya. Selebihnya saya bertawakal. Amin.”

Pesanan dari Zel Tuan Tanah..

SAMA-SAMA KITA BERDOA UNTUK KESEJAHTERAAN BABY HANA

** Insya Allah bb Hana akan selamat n sihat sepenuhnya, amin….
