selamat hari merdeka!

tonight when most malaysians are crowding at their nearest place of merdeka celebration, waving the flags in the hands frantically, shouting 'merdeka! merdeka! merdeka!', i am really looking forward to get some rest and recover from the tiredness of an emotionally draining week...and replenish those lost energy for my upcoming trip with hubby.

checklist for my weekend getaway:

1. change money - not done

2. get my phone to roam - done

3. get ALL medications needed for the kids - not done

4. pack my bags - done
5. tonnes more...but right now my stomach doesn't feel so good. and i just feel like going to sleep now.

hope my weekend will be filled with lotsa sleep and just chillin out. for now, i have neither the energy nor the right state of mind to be doing any work in the office :) heheh..

Post-birthday ramblings

A lot has happened on and since my birthday...
A few words to describe this year's birthday...
Traumatic, Exhaustive, and Fulfilling

and i shall describe it accordingly:

I hadn't been getting a good night sleep since the sunday prior to my birthday because Nazim was having fever, and it didn't subside until Wednesday (my bday). So, for three nights in a row i had been monitoring his temp and sponging and inserting suppositories up his...., and what not...and in the morning at work, i was yawning away...

So Wednesday was my birthday, and my parents came down and organized a small dinner with my parents-in-law, hubby and son at a restaurant, picked by me, for the convenience of the office bowling session after the dinner. Originally, my body told me it didn't have the energy to go bowling since i really needed some rest, and i should've listened to it..but no, i went on ahead but finally succumbed to my fatigueness after just one game. In the car, Nazim was coughing profusely, and it indicated that he was in pretty bad shape. So, we decided to take him to the A&E and get some medication or even have him warded for the night. But in end, i thought having him at home would be much better, and would cut the running around time for the next day, and the day after.

The next day, Aishah started to feel unwell, and is likely due to his brother. So, again, my sleeping was intermittently awoken with checking her temp, tepid sponging her, etc...

By Friday, Aishah's has started coughing and wasn't her usual jovial and hassle free-self anymore. I was of course, worried and really wanted things to get back to normal.

On Saturday, we left for KL since there's not much to do in Melaka. Aishah was not having fever anymore, but not 100% well either, while Nazim was 80% well.

Hubby treated me to a 2 and half hour long of pampering, smothering, and kneading of the body at a Bali-like spa, followed by a nice dinner courtesy of dad...I thought that was the night i was finally going to get my long-awaited good night of rest..

...when i ended up spending the night at the hospital with Aishah and the maid because Aishah had an asthma attack (of which we thought was just normal cough).

Alhamdulillah, she is recovering, and so is Nazim...I hope and pray Allah will keep blessing my family with good health, Amin.

p/s: looking forward to more spa activities when we're in Bali later this month! :)

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

*It's my birthday and i'll tell if want to (tell if i want to)
You would tell too if it's your birthday too!

*sing to the tune of It's My Party

Haha...yes people, it's August 16, and i have officially turned another year older, which makes me 29!!! Just one more year, and i can't be in the pool of people referred to as the '20s'.

Looking forward to what tomorrow brings (and surprises!!!) hehe..but for now, gotta hit the sack and get some real good sleep. :)

Good nite people and have a great morning!

me,

room to breathe

aaaahh..after so many days, i finally got a chance to blog :) been pretty occupied with work and when i'm home there's just no time. anyway, my hubby's MyKad has been found..in fact, it was in his wallet all along. hubby didn't look properly.

now what do i want to write about? hmmm GLAD that AF is OVER!!! now does anybody know when the new Amazing Race going to be aired? and i've already missed so many episodes of DH..

seriously, i have nothing much to write here, but i just feel like not doing work now.hehehe.. hmm...why not i just put up some pictures of my baby....

....still not much hair

Question of the day: Does the color of the clothes you're wearing reflect your mood or vice versa?

In search for my husband's MyKad

The thought of turning my house upside down in search for my hubby's MyKad is quite daunting. but it's inevitable. my son has once again done the honors of "rearranging" his wallet and took out all the cards in it. now all of the cards have been put back in the wallet except the MyKad which is still missing. Hmm...i really don't like looking for things which i hardly knew its existence.

I'm now sitting in the office on a long friday lunch, since i'm too lazy to go out with my not-so-cooperative clogs. why did i have to wear these clogs, i don't know..maybe coz they match my clothes..but let me tell you this, these clogs were the reason me and my baby slipped off the floor, while trying to come down from my hubby's 4x4 and it's not a pretty sight. so i just hope with this wet condition outside today, history will not repeat itself.

On another note, my lunch was pathetic. i went down to get something and there was spaghetti, so i tapau-ed it and brought it back to my room. Big Mistake. The spaghetti permeates some kind of belacan smell...you know how Malaysians like to Malaysianize certain western dishes? Oh gosh, why can't they just let it be the way it's supposed to be? what a waste..well not really, i ate it all, since i was bloody hungry...luckily i bought some other kuihs. Now the taste of the belacanized spaghetti has been neutralized with some kuih bom, and pulut panggang. but i can still smell the smelly spaghetti....ok time to chuck it out of the office...hang on!
