Exhausted

since i came back from raya holiday, i didn't get to rest properly. adam had high fever since saturday. he even vomited on me on the way back from KL to Perlis. sian dier...

on sunday afternoon me and bobo brought adam to see a doc. he gave adam an antibiotic and a bottle of orange flavoured paracetamol. the usual medicines la kan...then bobo and my MIL went back to KL on the same night. so i have to take care of adam all alone.

later at that night, his fever has become higher. the temperature was about 39.5c. i was so terrified! dahla sorg2, anak demam panas lak :( i just wipe his head with a wet face towel to reduce the heat.

on monday morning, the day i should start to work after raya, adam's fever hasn't reduced. so i had to take an emergency leave to take care of him. on that day, his fever was on and off. kejap panas kejap kebah. but the good part is, adam was still active and cheerful when playing. but later in the evening towards the night, he became weak. nak memerap dan merengek jer...sometimes i can see him like 'meracau'! risau jer...the medicines doesn't seem to work for him. i didn't know how many hours i manage to sleep on these 2 nights. jaga anak sakit lagi penting at this time...merasalah jadi zombie time2 camni...zombie kampung pisang pon kalah tau...

on tuesday morning, his fever had reduced a bit. i thought maybe he's recovering and i sent him to his nursery. at 10ish am, his teacher called and told me that adam won't stop crying and his temperature has increased. it's been 4 days since he's down with high fever. on my mind, i just think that i need to bring adam to see a paed immediately.

later in the afternoon, me and my ex housemate (thanks a lot for accompanying me) brought adam to Putra Medical Centre (PMC), Alor Setar. alhamdullillah our journey was ok. aku cuak gak coz lama gilos tak drive jauh2 ni...my skill is still there. haha..skill la kunun....bawak kete auto jer pon ;p

Dr. Guna, the paed at PMC checked adam. his temperature was 38.9c at that time. his throat has become white because of infection and his phlegm was plenty too. so adam was treated with a ubat cucuk montot to reduce his fever, nebulized and phlegm suction. he got 4 different types of medicines. phewww....all together his bill was rm100+. okla kan...then adam has to be nebulized 3 times for 3 consecutive days. ulang alik klinik la aku sampai esok. on friday afternoon we need to see Dr. Guna again for check up.

today, adam is getting better. the high fever has gone with the wind ;p. only left the stubborn phlegm. one more day to go! my mommy says 'dia nak boleh apa2 la kot sebab tu dia demam...' i hope it's time for walking. hehehe....today, my MIL has come all the way from Banting to see and take care of his one and only grandchild. tq mak! terasa beban ni separuh dah hilang...tu pasal la jugak aku dapat buat 2 entry sekaligus dalam 1 malam ni. huhuhu....

hmm...all the exhaustion was worth it when you see your healthy baby smiles and giggles happily, isn't it? have a speedy recovery yer adam....

it's time to sleep now. toodles!

Pelik bin Ajaib

nilah kucing kesayangan aku dan bobo. kitorg letak nama dia mary lou or fondly known as mary ;p mary ni nama asalnyer belle. kitorg adopt dia dari SPCA in Januari 2008. masa tu umur mary lebih kurang dalam 5 bulan. kitorg baru jer pindah ke Puchong masa tu. en. abam pon tak wujud lagi ;p

disebabkan kitorg pjj, bobo cakap sunyi la dok sorang2 kat umah masa tu. so kitorg decide nak bela kucing untuk temankan dia. hehe...sian sungguh kan...aku dok kat Perlis at least ada housemates. takla sunyi sepi...tapi bobo balik keje sembang dengan mary jela...kui3...

masa nak amek vet situ bagitau yang belle a.k.a. mary ni dah di'dewormed' dan di'neutered'. maksudnya takder kutu dan takleh peknen la kan...

lepas aku abis pantang my MIL suh pindahkan mary ke umah Banting. dia nak jaga sebab taknak bulu mary affect en. abam. kalau jadi asthma kan susah...so kitorg pon terpaksa la hantar mary balik kampung...hehe...

start dari situlah mary hidup bebas. suka sungguh dia dapat panjat pokok ngan lari2 kat taman sumer. masa dok Puchong dok panjat dapo ngan lari dalam umah jer. hehehh...

di suatu hari........jeng..jeng...jeng.......

mary terberanak!

patutla masa aku balik Banting tu aku tengok dia gemuk semacam. yer2 jer aku ingat sebab dia makan banyak. tapi yang peliknyer dia nampak macam letih jer...asik2 nak duduk, asik2 nak tido. rupa2nya ada isi...iskkk....

tak ker pelik bin ajaib namanya tu? dulu vet cakap dia takleh beranak. tup2 kuar 2 ekoq trus. how kam bing? btw tu pic lama masa diorg kitten lagi. skang dah besar sket. nanti aku uploadkan latest pic diorg. comey gak macam mak diorg...heheh....

kena mintak balik rm150 dari SPCA la camnih..

p/s: ilang pulak spacing paragraf entry nih!

En. Abam @ 10 months old

budak motak yang sedang melopong di dalam walker

yup, today is our little guy's 10 months birthday! how time flies...rasa ngilu bekas c-sect aku ni pon lom ilang betul2 lagi. tup2 anak dah besar ;p he'll be 1 year old in just couple of months! iskkk....my baby is not a baby anymore...

anyway, here is his milestones for this month. i know it's too early but he's developing too fast. so, most of the milestones has emerged since he was 9+ months old. here goes:

• he drinks not less than 6oz/180ml of milk nowadays. so i don't use his 4oz bottles anymore. i've also bought him Avent Magic Cup to teach him how to drink plain water by himself. ada la 2-3 kali sedut, pastu tanak dah. payah sungguh nak bagi minum plain water...

• he prefers thick solid food eg. homemade unblended porridge rather than Nestle porridge and liquidated rusks recently. he'll make this 'i wanna puke' look when i feed him liquid food. dah pandai memilih!

• dah pandai marah bila tak dapat something yang dia nak. he'll scream and merengek until he gets it. notty boy!

• he's practising to stand up without support/holding into anything. ada la dalam few seconds gak. bila berjaya berdiri mesti nak senyum2, pastu nak terduduk dah. hehehe....cepat2 jalan yer adam...

• he's independent when it comes to playing. pandai layan diri. takder orang layan pon takper asalkan ada toys. takder la nak memerap kat ummi & daddy dia jer...baguih2

• dah pandai cium2 muka orang bila nak bermanja. siap pegang lagi muka orang tu pastu dia akan cium berkali2 macam woody woodpecker ketuk batang pokok. ahahaha...

• gigi atas dah tumbuh tapi ada gap lak. ala2 Elton John & Madonna gitu. heheh...skang ni asik nak gigit orang jelah...

• his opah bought him a walker. mula2 naik tak pandai gerak lagi. skang ni jalan ke tepi macam ketam lak. ke depan lom terer btol2. heh...but i won't allow him to use the walker frequently as it would disturb his development for walking (source from What to Expect).

hmm...tu jer kot buat masa ni. kalau ada achievement lagi i'll update soon ;D

toodles!

Raya!

gambar raya family yang tak semenggah. baju aku lari dari tema. cett

ummi yang vogeh (vogue la kekonon) & lebai abam

heh..bosannya tajuk. dah memang tengah raya kan...nak buh tajuk apa lagi, tul tak? ;p

hmm...lama tul tak update blog. almaklum la, sibuk nak sambut raya...aku travel dari Perlis ke Banting, dari Banting ke Penang, dari Penang ke Banting balik. phewww....lotih makcik! tapi sronok sebab dapat celebrate 1st raya dengan en. abam ;D aku memang jadi banker dia la raya kali ni. ntah berapa la hasil kutipan duit raya en. abam. aku tak sempat kira lagi...rasanya ratus2 gak tu. huhu...ummi nak pinjam sket leh?

spiking of raya, 1st day kami beraya di Banting. taun ni rasa lain sket la sebab arwah bapak dah takder...tapi sibaik gak sepupu bobo 2 orang datang beraya di sini sebab parents diorg ada di US, beraya dengan family kakak sulung diorg yang baru dapat baby girl kat sana. petang tu kitorg beraya lak di umah makcik2 bobo di Kelana Jaya, USJ & Shah Alam.

2nd day raya adalah hari yang ditunggu2. heheh..sebabnya, hari tu aku, bobo & en. abam nak bertolak ke Penang. wheeee!! kitorg bertolak dari Banting kul 2.30pm. benti lunch jap kat R&R Sungai Buloh. pastu trus shoot ke Bukit Mertajam. ondawe tu smooth jer. tapi elok sampai kat Bukit Merah jam la pulok! sepanjang jalan ke Juru pastu slow jer...overall dekat 7 jam gakla travelling hour nak ke BM. lama gilos...itu la masa ondawe dari Perlis nak balik Banting kitorg dok gelakkan kete2 dari KL yang stuck dalam traffic jam di hiway PLUS. last2 kena batang idung sendiri. amek ko....

3rd day raya kitorg beraya di umah pakcik aku kat Jitra lak. aritu besday mak yang ke 57. eppy besday mak!! semoga panjang umoq & murah rezeki....malamnyer sepupu sepapat kat Jitra buat BBQ. mak lak potong kek Choc Indulgence (yummylicious!!) & Cheesecake Secret Recipe yang bobo belikan. hehehe...dalam kul 11pm lebih camtu kitorg balik semula ke BM...sampai BM, trus pangsan sampai tak larat nak salin pakai baju tido. tido dengan jeans trus malam tu. tak senon btol!

mak tengah potong besday kek dengan dani, anak cousinku ;D

4th day raya lak kitorg ikut mak abah sumer pegi makan2 kat umah mak tiri my BIL kat Sg. Petani. lepas makan trus chow balik KL. jam takyah cakap la, memang dah dijangka...9 jam kitorg travel woo...kalau nak flight dah leh sampai oversea dah. hehehe....

anyway, i had a blast during raya this year. dapat makan bes2, dapat beraya dengan family (especially tok) & dapat pakai baju baru walaupun kaler tema lain dari bobo ngan en. abam. sebab beli pon asing2. so, ikut dan jela...hehehe....tapi yang paling bes, memang tak ingat langsung pasal keje! heaven sungguh! hmm...lagi 3 ari jer nak back to reality. boleh tak nak mintak cuti raya sebulan? kui3....

Nak Raya Dah Ni!

diam tak diam tinggal 4 ari jer lagi umat Islam nak sambut Aidilfitri. cepatnyer masa berlalu, kan? masa awal2 puasa dulu rasa cam lambat jer lagi nak abis puasa. tup2 dah tinggal tak baper ari jer lagi...

bila check balik rupanya banyak lagi benda yang belum aku setelkan sebelum cuti raya. iskk...keje kat opis still melambak2. sampai put off mood raya aku jer ;p pastu pc opis lak dah arwah. skang ni aku terpaksa la guna laptop opis yang ala2 tukun tiruan gak tu. nasib..nasib...

anyway, jumaat lepas aku pegi la tailor kunun nak amek baju raya yang dah siap sepasang. sepasang lagi lambat sket siap sebab aku buat sulam kat tangan. understood la kan. dua tiga hari sebelum tu aku dah call dulu akak tailor tu nak kompomkan betul ker baju aku dah siap. dia cakap aah, dah siap. so, aku pon pegi la kedai dia dengan perasaan teruja sekali. sebelum pegi pon aku call dia lagi skali. dah sampai sana baru diorg nak cari baju aku. mula2 tu tak jumpa langsung baju aku waima kain perca dia pon ilek pocik. pastu diorg cari lagi dalam 5 minit baru jumpa kain. okeh, kain dah siap. baju lak? dekat 15 minit gakla diorg cari...rupa2nya dok ada dalam bakul kain yang belum siap kelim lagi. haduiiiiii.....buang masa jer aku tercongok tunggu diorg cari. potong stim btol la...last2 aku balik dengan tangan kosong jela...tapi sibaik gakla aku pegi check. kalau tak, ntah2 sampai ari raya haji pon takdan siap. haha...diorg janji minggu ni akan siap. of kos la kena siap! tak raya ahkak nanti tauuu...huwaaaa... :'(

pasal duit raya lak. aku dah tukarkan rm50 kepada duit singgit2. pastu siap amek sampul raya baru. dicampur pulak dengan baki duit raya singgit2 yang tak abis taun lepas, so berpuluh-puluh ringgit jugakla bajet duit raya untuk budak2 taun ni. untuk anak2 buah, bajet asing yer...takkan ler nak bagi singgit jer. hehh...tapi duit raya untuk diorg aku tak pegi tukar lagi nih. harap2 sempat la tukar sebelum nak cuti nanti. bank kat bawah opis pon payah nak pegi. hehe...

kue raya...semua dah dapat & ada yang dah tinggal separuh pon ;p hari2 aku dok makan masa sahur & berbuka. hahah...sukati jer..tapi memang aku beli untuk makan sendiri pon. mana la ada orang nak datang beraya umah aku nih ;p kalau ada aku goreng kopok jela memandangkan kue2 dah abis. hehe...

ouh, wiken lepas kitorg pegi shopping lagi di Alor Star (tak abih2). kali ni aku belikan bobo a pair of jeans as his birthday+anniversary gift. prezen 2 in 1 gitu...pastu dia beli tshirt raya selai. aku lak beli blouse raya. jeans macam tingin gak nak beli tapi nanti dulu la kot...tak urgent. tapi aku saja la try gak jeans sepasang. saiz dah decrease jadi 27" jer! yay!!! soka...soka...pastu en. abam pon dapat gift gak dari aku. aku belikan dia toys Fisher Price Snail Pail. heheh...ada 10% less. okla tu...baju dia aku tak beli dah. enuff!! (buat masa ni ;p)

pasni aku nak start packing lak untuk balik kampung. tahun ni beraya di Banting dulu, pastu baru balik Penang. banyaknyer benda nak dibawak balik termasukla ikan pekasam dalam peti es tu. hehehe....

oklah, nak standby depan tv dah. nak tengok Gossip Girl.

-xoxo-

Hmmphh

hmm...punah harapangku....if i'm not mistaken, this is the first time i didn't get the yearly bonus since 7 years of working in the public sector. except year 2007 sebab masa tu ada salary adjustment. so make sense lah hujung tahun tak dapat bonus dah kan...nampak gayanya taun ni kenalah shopping raya secara berhemah (hemah sangat la total kue raya yang aku oder pon dah cecah RM100+ ;p).

speaking of shopping raya, last weekend me and my family went to Alor Setar to buy bilis lilit and pekasam at Pekan Rabu. we also bought a pair of baju melayu for en. abam that fits him just nice. seluar jela kena alter sket sebab labuh amat. his outfit is complete with a kopiah tau! balik umah ummi & daddy dia dah tak sabar nak tengok en. abam bergaya dengan baju baru dia. kitorg trus bagi dia try. hehehe...macam lebai kecik! alhamdulillah bobo also found a baju melayu that matched the colour with en. abam's. his pic nanti la masa raya baru amek. kang basi lak tengok baju dia tu. hihikk...we also bought our little guy his First Shoes. kasut Bent 10 (yup, the jibbitz is spelled b.e.n with a t. crocs imitation, what do you expect? haha...) tu tak kira la as his first shoes sebab its more like a sandal. hehh...whatever la ;p

so basically we just shopped raya for our little guy. as for me, i didn't get anything. ada la beli lipstik satu but bobo paid for me ;D ngeeee....toche lo kong...

kiranya kitorg shopping secara berhemah jugakla...(yeker?) okla kan for a gomen staff who didn't get any bonuses this year except habuk! kuikuikui....takpelah, bak kata pepatah every cloud has a silver lining...

The Best Toys For 9 to 12 Months Baby

en. abam versi omputih ;p (credit mrgugel)

Semenjak dua menjak ni aku asik terfikir nak belikan en. abam toys baru. sebab dah lama gak tak beli toys kat dia. tambahan pulak toys dia takder yang developmental kecuali playgym dengan buku Lamaze tu. so kat sini aku nak share tips on the best baby toys for age 9 to 12 months yang diambil dalam website annabelkarmel:

• Building Bricks - These are great for developing hand and finger control. Soft building bricks are best for young babies, but at first your baby will only be able to knock them down.

• Stacking Toys - Stacking rings or beakers help your baby learn about size – your baby will need help getting them into the right order. You can have fun hiding toys under one of the beakers too.

• Activity Centre - Good for developing fine motor skills. Look for one with buttons to press, knobs to turn, spinners to spin etc.

• Balls - Your baby will enjoy rolling a ball to you and catching it as you roll it back. You can also roll it just out of reach to encourage your baby to crawl.

• Crawl through tunnel - once your baby has mastered the art of crawling he may enjoy trying to crawl through a tunnel.

• Toys that make a noise - Babies like soft toys that squeak or make a noise when pressed, toy drum or upturned saucepan and wooden spoon.

• Books - Expand your range to include lift-the-flap books.

wahh..nampak gaya macam banyak jer lagi toys kena beli nih ;p (alasan untuk soping jer lebih. heheh)

Salin Baju

hehehe...akhirnya blog MrsBobo ni telah ber'salin baju'. saja2 jer sebab tengok 'baju' lama macam semak lak ;p apa pon still menten kaler pink+brown pastu ada bird lagi...comey tak? comey tak?

;p

Alkisah Kemarin...

kemarin adalah hari yang orang ca ya nun alip cakap 'tatak ong' atau omputih cakap 'unlucky' bagi aku. everything just went wrong. alkisahnya gini....

• kebiasaannya sebelum aku reserve kete nak kuar pegi keje, aku akan jenguk dulu bawah kete sebab kat porch aku ada kucing2 pendatang yang melepak kat depan umah aku. siap branak pinak lagi. so untuk memastikan takder yang akan jadi mangsa lenyekan tayar kete, aku kena la check dulu tiap2 pagi. tapi pagi kemarin aku terlewat kuar dari umah. kat tepi kete aku dah nampak ibu2 kucing dengan anak2 dia tengah lepak. so aku pon tak tengok dahla bawah kete. elok jer reverse (slow jer) baru aku ternampak sekor kitten terjelepuk atas lantai porch. nehiiii!!!! kaki depan dia terkangkang tapi tak berdarah. aku pegi tengok macam dah tak bernapas :'( aduiii...nilah 1st time dalam idup aku terlanggar kucing. sedih tau...tapi yang peliknya, bila aku balik umah kucing tu dah takder kat porch. sapekah yang alihkan dia? sebab aku memang tinggalkan dia camtu jer pagi tu. sampai skang dok muskil lagi. hmmm....
  


• kat opis lak, ada masalah yang tidak diingini berlaku (ada ker masalah yang diingini? haha). kena pulak deal dengan orang yang bersikap 'i'm always right'. memang pressure laa. huh...sabo jelah...
  


• pastu masa nak beli juadah berbuka kat satu gerai ni, aku hampir2 nak terjatuh sebab tak prasan terpijak kat bendul tiang. sibaik kedai tu tak ramai sangat orang. dahtu semua dok bz membeli jer. takder la kot orang yang nampak aku nak jatuh tu (harap2 la). malu lerr... ;">


• masa amek adam kat taska, cikgu dia bagitau adam kena gigit dengan budak umur setaun masa diorg tengah main tadi. pulakkkkk....habis berbekas merah siku dia. aku maleh nak salahkan sesaper sebab tak monitor masa diorg tengah main tu. so anggap perkara normal jelah...budak2 apa tau, kan? tapi yang kelakarnya kalau kat umah adam dok gigit aku. kat taska dia lak yang kena gigit. heheh....nasib la adam ooi....
  


• ondawe balik umah, depan mata aku ternampak kete (2 dari depan aku) ni terlanggar kucing yang dok lari lintas jalan. ya Allah....tergolek2 somersault kucing tu. tapi alhamdulillah dia dapat balancekan balik badan dia pastu trus lari ke tepi jalan. phewww....sibaik tak berlaku tragedi ngeri depan aku. hal pagi tadi pon lom ilang dari ingatan lagi...
  


• malamnyer pulak, aku tertido sebelum abis tengok Gossip Girl. ciss...

what a day....
