I'm 32 years old, today! Well, this is my real birthday. Everybody will ask "What do you mean by your REAL birthday? How many birthday do you have?".
Well, thanks to my late uncle, Paman Wik, for making my life story a little bit interesting. I was born on 6th January, 1979. Somehow, Paman Wik, changed it to 31st December, 1978. How did he do that? I have no idea. But basically, he did ask for my mom's permission. Mak told him "Kalau kepala otak budak ni tak betul, siap ko". Luckily, my kepala otak is fine. Hahahaha..
I received the best birthday present ever this year. It's not new baby (even though I'm expecting another one now), but this is even better. I've been PROMOTED!! I'm soooo happy. Alhamdulillah. Thank you Allah for all these rezekis. Bonus, promotion, salary adjustment and the new baby. Alhamdulillah.
Petang Jumaat, masa ambil Ilyas dari rumah babysitter, Kak Syikin, hidung dia meleleh. Kak Syikin kata, badan dia dah mula panas. Kiter memang standby ubat demam dalam bakul Ilyas. So, petang tu Kak Syikin dah kasi Ilyas.
Kebiasaannya, Ilyas lepas makan ubat demam, dia akan OK. Tapi malam tu, badan dia semakin panas. Tak pernah rasa badan dia sepanas tu. Letak Kool Fever pun, masih tak reda. Letak kain lembab pun sama juga. Takde perubahan. Nak ke klinik, dah agak lewat. Tak pasti kat mana ada klinik 24 jam di Cyberjaya. Kalau di Ampang, tu melambak-lambak.
Keesokan harinya, ingatkan balik ke Banting untuk Hari Keluarga. Tapi keadaan Ilyas masih tak berubah. Masih panas badannya. Dan buat pertama kali, dia mula merengek dan mengamuk. Satu malam dia tak tidur. Badan kurang sedap. Tambahan pula, di bahagian belakang kepalanya, macam ada satu benjolan. Rupa macam bisul, tapi tak pasti. Yang pasti, kalau terkena tangan kiter sekali pun, dia akan menangis sekuat-kuat hati. Sampai merah padam mukanya. Kalau dibaringkan pun, Ilyas akan mengiringkan kepalanya ke kiri atau ke kanan.
25 Disember, cuti umum. Klinik Dr Uma, tutup. Jadi kiter cadang nak cuba klinik baru di Neo Cyber. Tutup juga. Aiishh.. Nampaknya, terpaksa ke Dengkil jugalah. Klinik Harmoni, klinik yang sangat-sangat kiter tak berkenan. Sebelum sampai klinik tu, kiter masih boleh rasa kepala Ilyas sangat panas. Terasa macam kulit kiter kena cahaya matahari yang terik.
Doctor : Kenapa ni?
Me : Dia demam doc
Doctor : Selsema? Batuk?
Me : Selsema, ye. Batuk so far belum lagi
Dia keluarkan termometer dan cek suhu badan Ilyas
Doctor : Hmm..tak demam ni. You ada kasi ubat ke?
Me : Ha? Tak demam. Tapi malam tadi badan dia panas sangat-sangat. Last saya kasi ubat demam 4 pagi tadi.
Doctor : Hmm.. tak.. dia tak demam.. saya kasi ubat selsema jelaa dan antibiotik.
Me : Lagi satu doctor, saya perasan kat belakang kepala dia ni macam ada bisul laa
Doctor : Bisul laa tu kot (without even checking properly). Ke kena gigit semut api?
Me : Setau saya, takde pun semut api kat rumah saya.
Doctor : Hmm.. tak pela.. saya kasi ubat sapu sekali.
Kiter tak puas hati. Sampai rumah, kiter ambik suhu badan Ilyas sekali lagi (thanks for my boss, sebab hadiahkan termometer untuk Ilyas). Bacaan dia 37.6. Subhanallah... itu dia kata tak demam. Kiter ni mak dia. Kiter tau dan dapat rasa bila dia demam. Kak Syikin pun boleh tau Ilyas demam. Macam mana doctor tu kata Ilyas tak demam. Eeeeee... geramnya.
Kalau tanya Doc Naza pasal bisul tu, mesti Doc Naza akan cek dan confirmkan, apa bende yang kat kepala Ilyas tu. Ini doc satu ni, boleh kata "bisul KOT!" Hello, siapa yang doctor ni? Bukan ke awak puan doctor. Kenapa tak tengok kepala Ilyas tu betul-betul dan cek dan confirmkan bende yg terbonjol kat kepala budak kecik tu.
Nasib baiklah, ubat-ubat yg diberi, sangat bagus. Dalam masa sehari, hidung Ilyas dah kurang meleleh. Dan "bisul" tu pun dah keluar nanahnya. Pagi tadi, bila kiter cuba pegang dan sikit tekan "bisul" tu, Ilyas tak melalak lagi dah.
I hate this. Mr Sinus is coming back. This time, he treats me really bad. He's with me for almost 24/7. :(
Shall I call my darling Mr Spirulina, Mr Sinus? Well, may be I should because I can't stand you anymoooorreee!!! Please go away Mr Sinus. I hate you. You're not needed anymore.
When my cousin, Suraya asked me to write something for our family magazine, I just realized I have not been updating my blog for quite sometimes. Not even introducing my new family member. It's just that too busy or too lazy.
Anyway, Suraya suggested to write on Bapak or Abang Ali. I was not that closed to Abang Ali. I just remembered I said something sarcastic to him about Adood. Well, I don't know, I can get piss off easily when people talk bad about Adood.
Bapak, yes. I had lots and lots of memories. Good ones, sad ones, bad ones. No matter how bad or good, my tears will definitely drop. I wish he's still here, to support me whenever I need one.
Sounds impossible huh? Yeah, I might laugh at myself too. Me, watching Bollywood movies? It's kinda joke of the day. But believe it or not, I just watched one good one last night. Well, I didn't watch from the begining, but I will catch up for the next show on Astro Box Office.
Surprisingly, they have changed. I don't think totally changed, but I think they started to improve. Well, they can't live without singing and dancing, but at least this "Three Idiots", no more "rolling" scene and all, you know. There's a love story, but for me it's just to add up spices into the movie.
I don't know the lead actor, but I think, it's Amir Khan. He's quite good playing "Rancho".
But watching this movie, just make me realize, is there anyone like Rancho in this world? Can we still find a friend, good friend, who's very sincere, honest, helpful, humble like him in this world? This movie also is not about friendship. May be parents should watch this. It taught you a very good lesson. DO NOT FORCE your children to do something they don't want to do, I mean in terms of career. As long as it is a good job, and not stealing or smuggling drugs or anything non-halal, just leave it to them to decide. Just be supportive to your kids.
Oh..oh... another thing, to be good in something, you must know how to apply it, must enjoy it and not just memorise your text book. Just look at Chatur. Hahaha.. He humiliates himself in front of everybody, because he memorises things blindly.
Well it was a good one. Congrats, Bollywood. I hope, Malaysian movie makers can do something better than this. Not just horror movies and "cinta monyet" movies, or "lawak bodoh" movies. Sendiri tell joke, sendiri gelak, and audience just terpinga-pinga sebab tak paham joke dia. Hahaha.. it's time to wake-up, guys!
I had to take emergency leave yesterday, fearing my car would suddenly stop in the middle of MEX highway. What happened was, a day before, I had trouble with the clutch and shifting gear, especially first and reverse. Aaahh.. not clutch pad again, pleaaaaaassseee...
My hubby had to go to Perak yesterday, that's why I had to bring the car for inspection. He asked me not to go to Bandar Sri Ehsan, instead, go to Sri Kembangan. So I did. I met this Sabahan mechanic, Sam. And yes, as suspected, it was the clutch pad again.
I just changed it last January. I was a bit pissed off with the previous mechanic. I don't know if they really cheated me or what. As far as I know, when that happened, I was just changing my front tires, and I knew I didn't have any problem in shifting gear, and suddenly they said, my clutch pad had damaged! And now, not even a year, I had to change again!!!
I have no choice, since I'm going to deliver soon. If I don't have a car, I will be in big trouble. So, I asked Sam to change the clutch pad. Well, it cost me almost RM800, but I got back my car within the same day! That considered quite good bargain. Otherwise I have to take another EL.
So there goes my RM800. :(
Looking at my Baby Ticker, I have about 20 days to go. It's not that long, huh? Nervous? Not so. I just can't wait to go for a long leave, actually. I easily get tired, especially for the past few days. May be I pushed myself too hard with the moving and cleaning up the house. But, I'm still thankful, because I was still energetic even I was in my 8th month of pregnancy.
My next check-up will be on next week. I have still not decided where to deliver. It's all depends when I feel the "urge". So, if it's during office hour, I will go to Hospital Ampang, otherwise, I will go to Hospital Putrajaya. Another thing I have not decided, tukang urut. Mak keep mentioning Cik Mirah, but Kak Yang suggested Wak Embong. Well, may be next week I will ask Mak to check out Wak Embong.
I'm not sure how long will I stay with Mak. But I think I will stay there at most for 7 days. I have to think about Ayumi also. It's not easy to travel with her. Even if I gave her sedative, she would fight. Kak Yang also did the same. Once finished berurut, she went back to Ampang. Come to think of it, both my sisters were very independent and were really tough.
