Gong Xi Fa Chai from Rayyan & Ryanna all the way from Cameron Highlands!

Rayyan and Kindie

2012-01-20T00:51:00.002+08:00

Unlike all of you all who are now busy with CNY preparation, I don't have anything to prepare. Well, actually we will be celebrating my mom's advance birthday celebration tomorrow nite (tonite) before our departure to Cameron Highlands. Let just talk about it after I'm back from my vacay ok..

So I guess I better continue with Rayyan's kindie stories.

Tadika Little Prince

Yeah! Aki got it right! We enrolled Rayyan to Tadika Little Prince!

First Day

Rayyan's excited faces on his first day kindie!

Maybe Rayyan got too excited to see many friends at the Kindie on his first day that he totally ignored us. He doesn't cried at all when I told him that I will be waiting for him outside. My intention to wait for him at the kindie compound pun tidak kesampaian. Since it was 2nd day schooling, there were no other parents were waiting around. So, I just left Rayyan with heavy hearted.

Even Rayyan only has to stay at the kindie for only 2 hours (only the first week. Normal school time will be 8am - 12pm), we all were worry and keep on wondering how's Rayyan doing! Will he tells the teachers if he wants to g the toilet. Will he fights with the pupils. Hmm..

Day 1 - Back from school!

Surprisingly, when I went to fetch him on his very first day, he was smiling happily and mixing well with other pupils. Teachers was saying Rayyan is very good boy, brave, active and friendly. Mummy is so proud of you Rayyan!!

Second Day - Fifth Day

Drama starts!! Hahaaa.. Even though we don't have problem to wake him up in the morning and he doesn't cried when we sent him to kindie, but he wanted us to accompany him at classroom. Teachers didn't encourage us to do so coz that the reason we send them to school so that they will be independent rite. Seeing him crying and trying to open the grill on the 2nd day was very painful! But I don't have no choice!

Day 2 - menangis-nangis panggil "mummy"!

Teachers told me that Rayyan only cried for a while. He will stopped when teachers showed him animals! Oh yess.. He loves animals!! Teachers also said that Rayyan enjoys naik turun tangga very much! Aduii..

Rayyan's classroom (Ladybird) for 4yrs old pupils at upstair

At home, we normally asked Rayyan what did teachers taught him at the class. He normally answers 'ABC'.. He sang ABC and Happy Buffday song too.. and he showed us some hand exercises too! We also asked him if teachers got beat him and he says yes. We asked which part on the body, he pointed his leg. Naik turun tangga punya pasal la ni!

Sixth Day onwards

There should be 5 of them and Rayyan is the only PRINCE in his class!

Rayyan doesn't cries anymore!! So happy and relief! Infact he is improving on his ABC! *clap hands* However, teachers complaint he refuses to write! *sigh* Need to monitor his writing from now on la ni..

Okay people... Happy CNY and happy holiday in advance!! *wink*

Wordless Wednesday : Drugs

2012-01-18T08:51:00.000+08:00

Alhamdulillah.. the 3rd cycle went well yesterday!

Hopefully will not infected with flu these few days as I need to be on very good condition for my Cameron Highlands vacay this coming Saturday!! Yayyy...

DC / Aki / Arms - Nanti kita atur ok!! *wink*

Happy Wednesday ppl!

Kindie Ramblings

2012-01-13T08:52:00.000+08:00

Since last year, both hubby and I agreed to send Rayyan to kindie this year as he is turning 4 years old this year. We want him to be exposed and mix around with friends.

Tadika KEMAS is just opposite our house. Definitely we want to to enrol him there, so it will be easier for us to send and fetch him everyday. However we missed the enrollment which was in Aug last year.and yet we were informed that KEMAS will screen through parent payslips. If that so, 'tidak layak' should be the result, means we have to look for other kindie.

I was kinda frustrated as Rayyan still at home on the first day of school reopen last Wed. Kes last minute! Hence, I went to the nearby chinese Kindie, Tadika Insaf (bout 10min walk) on the first day school reopen and asked bout the enrollment and registration. I was pretty sure to enrol Rayyan to that Kindie before hubby asked me to check with the other Kindie, Tadika Little Prince at the other side of the playground opposite Tadika Insaf. Glad we did the comparison specially the fees.

2012-01-10T00:11:00.000+08:00

Oh boy.. I better make this as the last entry of our PD vacay. It becomes stale day by day! *sigh*

Our last activity in PD was beach-ing!! *grin*

The beach!

Pasir memanggil-manggil!

We don't want the kids to get sick and so we only spent bout an hour at the beach. I'm sure the kids enjoy themselves very much though.

At first, Lily macam malu-malu mau main tu pasir..
lama-lama, geram punya pasal.. Lily makan tu pasir!!!

Laut pula yang melambai-lambai!

Naaa.. berendam terusss!!

Since semua pun penat specially the kids, so we tapau for dinner. It is not easy to handle grumpy kids okey.. that is why we always prefer tapau.

After 2 nites stay, we finally checked out at 10am the third day and it was raining! Am so glad that the weather was very nice to us the day before. Otherwise, it will surely ruin the cuti-cuti!

Our 2 rooms apartment at Mayangsari Resort
Heart the classic-antic deco of the unit!

Next vacay will be Cameron Highlands in 2 weeks time! *wink*

Port Dickson : Rumah Api Tanjung Tuan

2012-01-06T00:12:00.000+08:00

Really need to finish up my PD's stories so that I can share bout Rayyan yang sudah masuk kindie!! Yayy.. so excited ni!! Sabar dulu..

From Muzium Tentera Darat, we went straight to Rumah Api Tanjung Tuan. It was quite jammed though as we have to pass by the famous Teluk Kemang! We took 40 minutes to reach there and it was already noon. Pheww...

The entrance
Entrance fee : RM1 per adult

What surprise us was that we have to jungle-track in order to meet the light house. With half-hearted, we proceeded. Air pun tiada bawa! (Kes malas balik pi kereta!) Bayangkan tenghari buta!! Adusss!! *faint*

Exhausted!

We finally reached the 'kaki' dengan penatnya! Kesian the kids! Was expecting to see 'air mineral utk dijual', but only found penjual ice cream! So we bought one for Rayyan. Poor kids..

The Light House!

Looking at the staircase, bikin give up juga la! But, takkan semudah itu! Alang-alang sudah juga kan! *wink*

Climbing up

Slowly and patiently, we climbed those staircases and conquer the peak! Ceh.. macam naik Gunung Kinabalu pula! Hahahaa..

Awesome!!

The view from the peak is awesome! Laut selaut-lautnya!! Seluas mata memandang!! I wish we can stay there longer but the peak area was too limited and visistors were keep on coming up, forcing us to climb down soonest. *sigh*

Climbing down

Siapa yang paling penat???!

Next, mesti la makan! We had our lunch at Kedai Kopi Pak Lang at PD town.

I like the wall clocks displaying few other places timing

Mihun Sup was what left for us!! It was nice though!
Can guess our drink?? I actually forgot the exact name! Hah!! Teh Special??!

Last activity of the day, tidak lain dan tidak bukan.... beach-ing! Stay tuned!

Well, I don't have any New Year celebration stories as we all were just staying at home and watched tv! We were actually down due to fever+flu+cough. So, staying at home is the rite choice I guess!

So, I think I better share my PD stories before they get stale! :)

17/12/2011, after Amcorp.. fetched mom and kids at home and headed to PD. We have informed the management that we will be checking in late (about 8pm).

I would said that it was actually a last minute decision. We came to the idea a week before and you must aware that it was actually school holidays! Thanks to my friend, Nora. She was able to make the hotel booking for us! Even though there was slight miscommunication between Nora and the management, besides the unit's condition, we were actually feel really great to see the excitement and happy faces of our kids! No worries, Nora! No regret at all. *wink*

Iklan : For those planning for holidays in Port Dickson, A Famosa Resort Melaka, Mahkota Melaka, Dungun Terengganu, Cameron Highlands, Jakarta (coming soon), you may get reasonable price of 2-rooms Apartment at DianBizzcorner.

Hubby was actually looking forward to de-stress himself from office workloads and why not?! It was his birthday's treat!! *grin*

The nite of arrival, we only went to the nite market. As for dinner, my dear mom has cooked simple dishes from home and we tapau-ed them all the way to PD! Thanks mom. You're the best!!

The next day... 1st program is visiting Muzium Tentera Darat! Enjoy the pixies..

Kimoterapi yang Pertama

2011-12-08T10:00:00.006+08:00

Alhamdulillah sesi rawatan kimo pertama pada Sabtu lepas (3/12/11) berjalan dengan lancar.

Proses tersebut tidak la seteruk atau se-ngeri yang saya bayangkan. Mungkin juga ada nya chemo port yang memudahkan keseluruhan proses yang memakan masa selama 2 jam setengah.

Sebelum memulakan sesi rawatan kimo, saya terlebih dahulu berjumpa dengan Dr John. Beliau memeriksa bahagian luka pada chemo port saya. Beliau juga menenangkan saya agar saya lebih bersedia untuk menjalani kimo pertama saya.

Tepat jam 10 pagi, saya diminta untuk mengambil tempat di salah satu tempat duduk yang tersedia untuk pesakit yang akan menjalani kimo. Namun kerusi empuk tersebut tidak cukup untuk menghilangkan getar di hati.

Nurse mula menjalankan tugas. satu-satunya bahagian yang paling tidak saya gemari ialah ketika pada proses permulaan utk menusuk jarum pda chemo port!! Arghhh..

jarum khas utk chemo port

Selepas itu, tiub2 hanya disambung pada tiub pendek yang telah disambung pada chemo port.

Bermula dengan dripping, kemudian saya diminta untuk menelan sebiji pil anti-vomit. Setengah jam selepas itu, lagi cecair anti-vomit disalurkan kepada saya melalui tiub. Setengah jam selepas itu pula, dadah kimo sebanyak 5 jarum 'gemuk' disalurkan kepada saya. Dua daripadanya berwarna merah dan tiga tanpa warna (jernih).

Kepala saya mulai berat dan perut mulai tidak selesa bila msuk jarum ke-4 dadah kimo memasuki badan saya.

Akhir sekali, saya harus menunggu selesainya 1 botol dripping dan kemudiannya proses 'flash' iaitu dengan menyalurkan sebanyak satu jarum kecil cecair tanpa warna sebelum saya dibenarkan pulang.

Ketidakselesaan pada kepala dan perut membuatkan saya tidur awal pada malam tersebut. perut seperti diserang gastrik. Sememangnya saya dibekalkan dengan ubat gastrik kerana ianya merupakan salah satu kesan sampingan dadah kimo tersebut.

Stok bekalan ubat selama 3 hari yang harus dihabiskan. Kebanyakkannya ialah ubat anti-muntah. Satu lagi ialah ubat gastrik dan yang botol itu ialah ubat kumur mulut (dry mouth)

Selebihnya sehingga ke hari ini, saya seperti biasa saja - seperti sebelum menjalani sesi rawatan kimo. Tidak ada apa yang menyukarkan saya. Tidak ada juga sebarang ketidakselesaan yang dirasai cuma agak lesu apabila menjelang petang.

Semoga 'keselesaan' yang dirasai ini akan dirasai sepanjang sesi kimo saya. Insya-Allah..

Saya akan menjalani 16x sesi kimo. 4 sesi yang pertama setiap 3 minggu manakala selebihnya setiap minggu selama 12 minggu.

Dan seterusnya rawatan radioterapi selama 25x selama 25 hari berturut-turut!

Ya Allah.. Kau tabahkanlah dan kuatkanlah semangatku untuk melalui semua ujianMu ini ya Allah!

p/s : most of my friends who know bout my condition will surprise to see me who look really good - as if no sickness! Well, I don't think by looking sick will help, rite ppl! So, cheersss... :)

Wordless Wednesday - New Hair

2011-12-07T08:30:00.003+08:00

At last, I did a hair cut!
It was done the following day after my 1st chemo!
In case you didn't notice, it's bob style!
Sempat lagi minta style2 even though they are going to drop sooner or later!
Huhuhuhu...

p/s : auto-published
Coming up next.. story on 1st chemo!

October's Cakes

2011-12-02T09:19:00.000+08:00

Well, it's already the second day of December! Mau abis tahun sdh kan?!! 2012 is approaching!!

Sekarang baru mau post pasal October's cakes??!! Stale stories I have here... huhuhu... Just for my own 'record' ba... hehehe...

Cake 1 - Rayyan's birthday cake. He turned 3 years old on 24/10. We had a small makan-makan with hubby's siblings and mom on the 23/10 nite.

Ultraman for this year's theme!
Cuppies order from my colleague

Us with the cake!

Cake 2 - the 8th anniversary of our relationship fell on 25/10! Yes.. Rayyan was the great anniversary gift we had for our 5th anniversary! He arrived a day earlier! I remember very well we just text-ed and wishing each other as I was spending 2 nites at the hospital.

And for this year, we cut the cake after the 'crying session'! That's the day when the biopsy's result is out!!! Takkan mau buang pula the cake kan.

The cake was pre-order a week earlier as I bought it via milkadeal.com months earlier. Kalau tidak redeem, sayang la kan...

Don't think we'll having cake this month even though both hubby and I will be celebrating our birthdays this month. Mini cake pun belum tentu ada selera ni.. huhuhu...

Ok.. catch up with u guys later.. kinda nervous to go for my 1st chemo tomorrow.. aduiiii!!!

Seminggu Sebelum Kimo Pertama

2011-11-27T16:12:00.000+08:00

Saya telah pun bertemu dengan dua orang Pakar Kanser/Oncologist untuk rawatan kimoterapi dan radioterapi iaitu Dr Albert Lim (Gleneagles) dan Dr John Loh (Pantai Bangsar). Disebabkan radioterapi memerlukan saya berulang alik ke hospital setiap hari selama 25 hari, saya memang berharap sangat utk mendapatkan rawatan di hospital yang lebih dekat dengan rumah saya - Gleneagles.

Namun cara konsultasi yang diberikan oleh Dr Albert membuatkan saya tawar hati. Cara penerangannya seperti mau tidak mau. Tidak penuh dengan informasi. Dia malah meminta saya untuk mendapatkan penerangan yang lebih lanjut dari jururawatnya! Huh!!

Unit Oncology di Gleneagles
Sepertinya indah kabar dari rupa! Opps...

Bertemu dengan Dr John sebaliknya sungguh menyakinkan saya dan suami. Sama seperti Dr Patricia, beliau juga memberi penerangan yang jelas-sejelasnya. *suka*

Cancer Institute di Pantai Bangsar
Sangat selesa!
Rawatan kimoterapi dan radioterapi akan dibuat bilik yang bertulis "Chemo DayCare"

Dan saya memutuskan untuk memulakan kimo pertama pada Sabtu depan (3/12) di bawah Dr. John. Tipu kalau saya katakan tidak takut pada rawatan tersebut. Mungkin disogokkan dengan kesan-kesan sampingan yang bakal saya hadapi seperti kelesuan, kepanasan, muntah, mual dan loya, sembelit, bibir pecah, ulser mulut dan terutamanya rambut gugur!

Kepala botak??!! Oh no!!! Bagaimana hendak keluar rumah? Menggunakan skaf? Tudung? Rambut Palsu? Sebagai persediaan, saya telah pun membeli anak tudung. Rambut akan mula gugur pada minggu kedua setelah kimo pertama. Saya tidak mau anak-anak terkejut atau takut pada saya! Hmm..

saya ber-anak tudung!
Ada macam muka orang sakit?

Sejak kebelakangan ini saya banyak membaca pengalaman orang yang pernah menjalani kimo supaya saya lebih bersedia dengan apa yang bakal dilalui seminggu daripada sekarang. Saya tiada pilihan lain selain pasrah dan terus positif mengharungi hari-hari yang mendatang. Insya-Allah saya dapat mengharungi ujian ini.

Semalam ('kemarin' kalau orang Sabah bilang), saya telah pun selamat menjalani pembedahan kecil untuk memasukkan chemo port di dada saya, seperti yang dicadangkan oleh Dr Patricia. Pembedahan kecil yang hanya memakan masa setengah jam sahaja dan tidak perlu bermalam di hospital.

Pendaftaran dibuat jam 7 pagi. Pembedahan (bius penuh) jam 8.30 pagi. Saya mula sedar pada jam 10 pagi. Pemeriksaan jantung dibuat pada jam 12 tengahari untuk memastikan tiada sebarang masalah. Saya kemudiannya dibenarkan pulang pada jam 3 petang!

Dengan chemo port, akan memudahkan proses kimo. Saya tidak akan sengsara menanggung kesakitan dicucuk jarum pada urat tangan.

Doktor memaklumkan jarum tidak boleh dicucuk pada urat yang sama pada setiap sesi kimo. Urat yang telah dicucuk akan tersumbat dan mengambil masa sehingga 3 bulan untuk sembuh. Makanya, percubaan utk mencari urat lain kadang kala sehingga tusukan jarum ke 7 utk mendapat urat yang betul, tidak kah sakit kamu rasa?

Sangat tidak suka bila dicucuk dengan IV!

Sebaliknya, jarum akan dicucuk pada chemo port. Memudahkan dan mempercepatkan proses dan mengurangkan kesakitan pada tangan.

Area di mana chemo port iu ditanam akan tegang dan tidak begitu selesa ketika ini. Hmm..

Sehingga ke hari ini (sejak dimaklumkan tentang sakit ini), saya masih meneruskan aktiviti harian seperti biasa. Tidak ada apa yang harus saya tangisi kecuali ketika menerima berita tersebut dan juga utk beberapa jam yang pertama agak tertekan. Selebihnya sehingga ke hari ini, saya tetap seperti biasa. Lagipun saya tidak merasa sakit yang amat.

Ketika tiub masih melekat di badan, saya masih bebas bergerak ke mana-mana. Saya ke fun fair dengan keluarga saya. Saya bershopping barang rumah. Saya lepak dengan kawan saya di Old Town White Coffee. Hehehee... Saya sangat ok ba!!! Yes, I mean it! ^_^

Ok.. sambung lagi..

Salam Maal Hijrah semua..

Am having problems with my broadband for the pass few days! Will be back after solved the issue ya.. Nda siok mau blog thru HP. Susah mau upload pics.. Huhu..

Thanks for stoppin' by.. Will blogwalk soon.. ^_^

The Report and Follow Ups!

2011-11-11T09:14:00.000+08:00

Ok.. let's continue the previous entry.

Before that, thanks to Cath for the flower sent to my ward! Also, some colleaques and ex-colleague for fruits and Chicken Essence! Some visited me at home too... So nice of you all.. *hugs*

Yup.. the report is out! *sigh*

Some facts :

* I am actually at Stage 3 (out of 4 stages) and Grade 3 (out of 3 grades)! Gosh.. this one really scared me to hell!! Grade 3 means those cells are speading very very fast!!

* 3 out of 12 lymp nodes has been infected. Hence, full clearance/removal of the lymp nodes has been done.

* a test on the woman hormones also resulted positive which means have to be on medicine for 5 years! In other words, not advisable to conceive at least 2 years as it is very risky.

Follow up treatments :

1. 6 cycles of chemoteraphy which to be done once every 3 weeks! Will have to be on MC during the chemo. Should be about 4-5 mths MC! Cost involves approx RM5k per cycle (in private hosp).

2. After chemo is radiotheraphy 25 times.. 5mins daily!! Cost involves approx RM8k for all 25x.

3. Then only start with the 5-years-medicine which will cost me approx RM150 per mth.

Well.. have checked with HR if the company is ok with the 1+5months MC.. Sendiri mau ingat la kan!! Long mc ba tu!! Silap haribulan kena kasi resign owh!! And I am very speechless when the HR assures me that the company/company insurance will take care of all the costs and I'll be on paid MC for 6 months (approx)!! Syukur Alhamdulillah..

Terhutang budi betul sama my boss!! I am aware that the green light is from my boss! Thanks Datuk!

On other thoughts, I guess my back-for-good plan has to be postponed for couple years! I know it is still too early to plan for anything but I can't help but to think bout this one. I can't just hand over the 'love-letter' to the company after all the helps kan?! Hmm...

Anyway, gonna meet Dr Patricia with the Oncologist on the 19/11. they will then advise further on the chemo. I'm kinda nervous bila fikir psl tu chemo.

I was told that I will be very weak for 3-4 days after the chemo jap.. Hair loss is the common side effect.. Hmm..

I don't think I have other choice here am I?! So yeah.. I really hope that I have all the strength, mentally and physically to go for the chemo! InsyaAllah..

Till then.. you all take care ya.. have a great weekend!

Pssttt... today is 11.11.11!! What a nice number! Any special agenda for today? ^_^

On CONFINEMENT

2011-11-07T10:19:00.000+08:00

Oppsss.. lebih kurang macam itu la yang saya rasa sekarang ini!

Hi all!! How are you?? Hope you all are doing well..

Well, as you all know.. the operation went well on last Tuesday! Operation to remove lumps and lymp nodes which have been affected too!

31.10.11

8.30pm - admission at Hospital Pantai Bangsar (Ward D336)

12.00am - start fasting

1.11.11 (nice date huh!)

7.00am - getting ready for operation - in blue gown!

The blue operation-gown!

7.15am - a jap on the b@tt!!

7.30am - send to OT. Start mamai sudah sini. Seram betul bila kena letak betul2 di bawah lampu bulat dalam OT! And the last thing I could recall is that the doc is giving me a jap on my left arm! Ubat bius yang buat saya pengsan for more than 3 hours!

10.50am - mula sedar! dapat rasa ngilu di bahagian breast. cuba buka mata yg berat and was trying to read the wall clock few times! I was at the ICU, for their monitoring purposes. I was then send back to my bed.

Before the nurse is going to leave me, dalam keadaan yang tersangat mamai, saya minta tolong the nurse untuk kasi keluar hp saya dari dalam laci yg berkunci di tepi katil.

I need to inform hubby/family that I'm back to my bed! I know they have been waiting for my call.

Mom woke me up softly when they arrived. My kids were there too. Rayyan looking at me weirdly. He also refused Ryanna to sit at the bed as if he doesn't want Ryanna to disturb me! Hubby and mom take turn to feed me with porridge. I'm so touched!

The mamai face yang kelaparan! Abis licin itu porridge! Hee..

I only feel better and stable in the evening as I already able to go to the toilet on my own!

I was finally discharged on Thursday with a tube hanging underneath the armpit! *sigh*

The tubes!!

"Ba.. Sudah2 la ko tu.. Malam sdh ni.. Sudah2 la tu shopping!" hubby is teasing me as I have to carry the tube-bag 24hours!! Cisss...

Oh ya.. was given one month MC!!

By the way, I'm ok.. no pain.. only kinda numb on the right arms due to the removal of lymp nodes.. can't wait to remove this tube! I look really sick with the tube!! Huh!!

To be continued..

Salam AidilAdha and Happy Holiday to all of you.. ^_^

2nd Opinion

2011-10-30T08:35:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone!

Well, news spread around at the office. When I came in to office last Thursday, I have to 'make report' to everyone that I bumped to. I know everyone is concern and shocked too... They all gave me a lot of advices. I feel so touched.

My dearly Datuk-Boss has arranged the HR Manager to accompany me to see his friend - a doctor who is also one of the company Director. In other words, the HR Manager was also my driver for the day! Oppss...

Thursday morning, we went to see Dr Ong at Assunta Hospital. Dr Ong is actually the Physcian. He receommends me to see Prof Yip (UM) and Dr Patricia Gomez (Pantai Bangsar), top doc in breast cancer.

We go for Dr Patricia Gomez as Prof Yip would be slightly hard to catch. Dr Ong straight away called Dr Patricia to make appointment. We were asked to come at 2pm at the same day!

Even though we had appointment, it is still 'first-come-first-serve basis. We only managed to went in to see Dr. Patricia at 4pm! Phewww..

The moment Dr Patricia starts explaning, I knew that I'm going to stick with her. I like the way she explains. Very details! She wrote stage by stage all treatments that I would be going thru depending on my case which they would only find out during the operation. She is also very positive. Unlike Dr Teo, the prev doc I met at Hospital Pantai Ampang. The way he broke the news sound serious and seems no hope except I have to remove the whole breast!

Treatment as advised:

1. First thing first, surgery to remove the lumps. I am so relief that I can still preserved my breast! During the surgery, they will do some tests if the lymp nodes has been attacked. Lymp nodes is the first area will be attacked when one have breast cancer.

2. Radiotheraphy - is a must! 25x for 5mins daily which start after 3 weeks.

3. Chemotheraphy - depends. If lymp nodes attacked, then must go for chemo. Looking at my age, Dr says will want me to go for chemo at least 4 cycles!

Well, she asked me not wait longer. Need to avoid the cancer spreading.

So, yeah.. will be admitting tomorrow nite and surgery will be on Tuesday morning (at Hospital Pantai KL - Bangsar). I can be discharged the very next day but with tubes. To come back after 4 days to remove tubes and rest for at least 1 month at home!! Radiotherapy/ chemo starts after 3 weeks!

To recap.. read also the other entries as well.. Breast Lump, Biopsy Done & Biopsy Result.

Till then, pray for me k.. InsyaAllah will fight this 'obstacle'!

Wordless Wednesday : Birthday Boy!

2011-10-26T09:00:00.002+08:00

Happy Birthday to you Rayyan Adrian!

p/s : auto-published! Happy Deepavali to all.. :)

Biopsy Result!

2011-10-25T18:20:00.000+08:00

Just to update..

As most of you already know..

Have collected the biopsy result about 2 hours ago!

As suspected by the doctor, the lump at the n*pple area is cancerous!!! It should be around 6 mths already! And is now at early Stage 2!

For a moment, I just smile and nodded at the doc before I took out tissue! *teary eyes*

Hubby was with me to calm me down. Thanks Hubby!

Doctor's advice:

1. Go for operation to remove whole right breast. In my case, need to operate the lymp nodes in the armpit as well. Sorry I can't explain this part.

2. Since my case involve the lymp nodes, will have to comes for follow up every week after operation.

3. After 3 weeks to 1month after operation, to go for chemotherapy and radiotherapy for at least 6 mths!

Supposed to admit for operation on this Thursday but with Boss's advices.. will go for 2nd opinion doctor first before proceed with operation! Thanks boss for the concern!

Ok.. i better stop.. don't worry... I'll be ok.. I'll be strong.. I'll be positive!!

Thanks to all of you! You guys take care too ya!!

The 8th Year!!

2011-10-25T11:28:00.000+08:00

As much as I want to blog about Rayyan's birthday which we celebrated in advance on Sunday nite, you guys still have to wait coz I forgot to bring the memory card! Without picies, entry would be not-so interesting kunun! Heee...

What's up with my title there??

Well, today is our 8th years couple anniversary! Phewww...

I know I know most of you has longer relationship than mine! I know too that masing² ada masing² punya asam garam! Lain rumah lain tangga! Heeee..

This year, the feeling (my own feeling) is kinda... how to say ya... well, maybe because of the recent news... it makes me think a lot! As much as I want to stay positive... I am just human being ba kan!

Last nite when taking bath, sempat juga layan perasaan! Hmmm... Was thinking how long will our relationship last? My confident level dropped when I imagine myself without the other 'mountain'! I think more or less it would lessen hubby's passion towards me! You know what I'm referring here! I started imagine if he would have an affair!!! Sh*t!!! Hate it when I let the imaginations run wild! *sigh*

Whatever it is.. jodoh & ajal-maut di tangan Tuhan. Saya redha... Till then, am gonna treasure my life to the fullest!

Two become One! One come Two! *wink*

To dearest Hubby, I love you so much! Pls forgive me for all the wrong-doings.. sins... the ignorance (too occupied with kids!).. and every single thing.. Still trying best to be a good wifey.. except the kitchen part! Memang surrender owh!! Hahahahahah...

Last but not least.... Happy 8th Anniversary to you, Hubby!

Biopsy Done!!

2011-10-24T15:31:00.000+08:00

Hi people! Am back with not-so-stable feelings!

Before that, Happy 3^rd birthday to my Hero, Rayyan Adrian! We love you son! We had the makan-makan last nite. Will blog about it in my next entry ya.

As promised, here’s my story on what happened last Friday. Sorry for the long wait… Kunun!

9.00am – registration at Hospital Pantai Ampang.

Even though I already made my appointment, still it is a 'first-come-first-serve' basis.
Perhaps I was quite early, so masih kosong lagi!

9.40am – met Dr Teo, Surgeon Specialist. Macam biasa la.. sessi sual-kenal & soal-jawab! After studied the scan by the National Cancer Society, I have to lied down and kena ramas² lagik!! *benci!* Was asked to do another scan ultrasound and also Mammogram! I was puzzled when he asked me to do Mammogram. Then, he explained. Mammogram is usually for ladies 35 and above. But, in some cases, Mammogram will still show the cancer existence, if any! Besides, mine got two lumps. One is exactly at n*pple which are bad! *sweating*

10.00am – 11.30am – waiting turn for ultrasound and mammogram!

The Mammogram machine and the result

11.30am - 12.00pm – see Doc again with the results. Base on the Mammogram, Doc said if it’s cancer, there will be white dots on the lumps. Was quite relief to hear that there is no white dots on my lump. I think he only mentioned that at 1 lump and not the other lump on the n*pple!

Biopsy is a must!!

Since I’m using the company insurance, I will be only covered if I am admitted or at least a day care (which required at least 6 hours at the Hospital) before I can proceed with the Biopsy.

12.00pm – 1.45pm – waiting for them to prepare the necessary for admission and get ‘green light’ from Insurance. While waiting, sempat la juga had a light lunch – currypuff and ice tea. Mana ada selera owh!

1.45pm – 6.45pm – due to ‘no-bed’ at the female ward, was asked to admit at Pediatric Ward. It’s a two-bedded room with toilet and tv on each bed. I was on my own the whole afternoon. Waiting, waiting and waiting for Doc to perform Biopsy!! At the end, was asked to go back and come back tomorrow morning at 8am! Bikin panas kan??!!!

My room!

Tea time and dinner!
Looking the 'kaki lima', bikin takut oo kan?!

The next day…

7.20am – Morning ‘alarm’ by the Hospital. To come as soon as possible. Doctor is waiting!

8.00am – admitted at female’s ward.

8.15am – 8.30am – Biopsy room! *faint* Before that, Doctor apologized about yesterday. He claimed that he went to the Biopsy room but I was not there and he was not informed that I was at the Pediatric ward! Huh?!!

To perform Biopsy, Doc injected me for the ‘bius’ on the breast of coz. After that, he asked for 7 size blade from the nurse!! OMG!! Kenapa la I have to listen to that?!! Yeah, he made a small cut on the breast. Of coz I can’t feel anything. It’s already numb maa… Then the Biopsy began!! I have to bear 8 times of samples-taking!! Gila eh!! I dare not to look at the breast, if you ask! He cleans up everything, plaster and done! Rasa macam kena tikam opss.. not really.. but you can feel he’s 'stabbing' on you softly and the pull’s part yang paling tidak best! Wuaaaa…

Next, can go back to bed and wait for discharge! Doc’s advice??!! It is really beyond my imagination and expectation! Trust me, no woman will want to hear this!!

“If it’s only here, I can just remove this part (pointing at the other lump). But, this one right at the n*pple is very high chances to get cancer. So, I have to remove the whole breast! Otherwise, you still can preserve your breast!!”

Apa kamu rasa?? Urin??!!

Seriously, I can’t feel anything! I can’t think of anything! I was shocked!

8.30am – 11.30am – As informed, discharged process will take about 2-3 hours. So, I just stayed at my bed, waiting while sms-ing my hubby and bbm-ing my colleague updating them the current status!

“takkan kau nak buang semua beb??” that statement really hit me and I burst into tears!!

I managed to calm myself down after hubby replied me with “it’s ok.. just go ahead! Better than to get cancer!!”

11.30am – discharged! Total bill = RM1,600++ (Thanks to the Company!) To come again on Tuesday (tomorrow) to see doctor and collect the biopsy’s result.

If you ask me now… the result is no longer important to me coz whatever it is... I will still lost one of the asset!! Wuarghhhhh…

Anyway, thank you for all the encouraging words specially beloved hubby and mom for the positive supports. Without them, I am totally down!

Thanks also to Sis Mouren for the advice! I like it the most… “Yang penting sekarang, ko mesti go ahead with life. Ko mesti tengok anak ko membesar. Biar lah ilang sebelah breast, yang penting tidak ilang nyawa ko!” Macam terbangun saya baca!!

Thank you again. Will be fine and stay positive! *wink*

Sorry for the long post!

Hospitalization!

2011-10-21T08:45:00.001+08:00

It's Friday! Good morning people!

As you are reading this, I am actually at the Hospital Pantai Ampang, seeing the Surgeon Specialist. *dag dig dug*

Yeah.. it's an auto-published entry.

Was thinking to just come in late to the office today but of coz depending on the consultation. If it takes longer time, then I have to take half day leave. If the doctor is taking the sample this morning, then I am thinking to ask for MC. Muaahahah... let see how ya..

Am actually so happy when the HR informed me that she has checked with the company insurance agent. My case is covered under the whatever-plan it is. So, I can bring the medical card (provided by the company some time this year! we do not have it before.) together with the reports to any of the private hospital to perform treatment/surgery with FOC. Phewww...

It's indeed a good news to me!

Immediately, I made an appointment to see the surgeon specialist this morning at Hospital Pantai Ampang. The Hospital is only less than 10minutes drive from home. *wink*

Am not saying the government hospital is not good ok but at least the waiting time and appointments dates will be much much lesser. With government hospital, the next appointment date given will be at least another 3 weeks, the earliest! *faint* Really need to close the 'case' soonest possible la.

So far that I can recall, this visit would be my first time getting treatment at private hospital!

Well, I must say that I seldom get sick. I only admitted to hospital (government) 3 times in my entire life.

The first one was when I broke my arm when i'm was in kindergarden. I was warded for a mth if not mistaken and I missed the graduation ceremony! *sad*

Can you guess the second and third???

Yup, when I delivered Rayyan and Ryanna!

Other than that, just the normal sakit-sakit-manja! Ahahaha..

Oppsss... Ok.. I better stop. Tertukar cerita sudah ni... hehehe... Will update when I'm back ok!

Till then, Happy Friday and have a great weekend ya!

Bermalas-Malasan

2011-10-20T17:13:00.000+08:00

Hari itu, c Kay Masingan sudah dilanda malas. So, hari ini turn saya pula!

Hari ini saya terasa amat malas sekali! Boss pula sdh 1 week outstation! Coming in next Monday!

Kemarin, saya sibuk kasi siap my Photobook! Voucher expiring in 2015 tapi saya rasa baik la saya buat awal² sementara masih duduk ~~makan gaji buta~~ di ofis ni sbb kalau sdh balik KK next May, saya rasa saya mesti tidak akan dapat buat itu Photobook. Sia² pula saya bayar RM99!!

Sepatutnya saya mau kasi surprise hubby with the photobook. It's the journey of our love which we call it Taste of Love! Tapi seperti biasa, kami laki-bini memang suka berbincang walau hal remeh sekalipun! Itu la ba yang sepatutnya kan?! Heeee...

So, hari ini saya sudah pun mem-print 40 pages of the photobook utk approval boss ku! ^_^ Biasanya, memang standard la ada komen² itu dan ini kan dan seperti biasanya juga akan diakhiri dengan "Ba, mana² seja la!" Kalau saya rajin, saya adjust la mana² komen yang boleh diterimapakai. Kalau tidak, ignore it lor! Kiikikikiki..

Kamu mau tengok the photobook?? Since it is my first time, saya just pakai apa yang ada. Malas mau fikir banyak. Background pun hitam seja! Nanti, kalau sdh sampai saya blog out ok!

Disebabkan malas juga, petang ini saya just browse the net. Cari info pasal Cameron Highlands and Singapore. Next holiday will be Cameron Highlands in Jan 2012, follow by Singapore in March! Did I mention Medan in May, KK in May and Manila in September??!!! *faint*

Bila terpikir pasal bajet terus pening! Aduhhhhh...

Ok.. chow dulu!! *malas*

Woman’s Talk : Breast Lump!

2011-10-18T09:00:00.000+08:00

*Inhale* *exhale*

It’s Pink October month! Have you check yours? Have you done with the BSE (Breast Self-Examination) To be honest, I rarely done mine.

And I thank the instinct or should I say the warning given to me that nite (last Sunday) during my shower.

To detect something is not rite really surprise me! It is on the right one! Head began questioning and kinda worry also. Not to worry is impossible!

Informed hubby when I went to bed that nite. Asked him to feel it too. However, dia dengan mamai nya ckp, “nanti pigi check aa..”

The next day, started my Google at office and asked for advices from the senior kakak².

Finally, informed Mom bout it. When it comes to health, Mom will be one among the last person that I want to inform. I just don’t want her to worry.

Actually, Mom went through this lump thingy before. I remember very well that she had been warded a nite for an operation to remove the lump. Thanks God it was not a cancer. That is where I gain the strength to stay calm and think positive. Hoping and praying that I'll be alright.

So, last Friday I went for a Breast Ultrasound at National Cancer Society Malaysia. (I was informed that Mammogram is only recommended for ladies above 35 years old.)

The front desk

Bikin kembang bulu juga masuk the building. huhuhu..

My appointment was at 11am. Been called by a lady doctor for a manual check and been waited until 12.30pm for my turn for the ultrasound! Baik tidak payah buat appointment kan?!

It took only 15minutes to finish the process. It's like what pregnant mommies go for the baby ultrasound. Only the 'area' yang lain!

The worst part is being "molested" by a guy-doctor! Hishhh...

Ok.. here's the report by the doctor :

"There is an irregular hypoechoic mass in the right breast at 12 o'clock, corresponding to the palpable lump, measuring 12 x 7 x 13mm. There are multiple well defined hypoechoic masses in the right subareolar area. The largest measures 10mm. No focal mass in the left breast. The mass in the right breast at 12 o'clock is suspicious of malignancy BIRADS. BIOPSY IS RECOMMENDED"

*inhale* *exhale*

As for the service charge, it is actually RM100 for the breast ultrasound. Upon collecting the reports, the lady at the front desk says “no charges”. Without asking further, I say ok and thank you. Heee…

Straight away, we went to Hospital Ampang which is near my house and less crowd than Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Mmg tiada orang di sana. Pesakit pun kurang. Staff pun kurang!

We were asked to go straight to the Klinik Pembedahan (aduiii naa… bikin takut ja oo!!). Went there just to set an appointment date which is on the 8/11/11! Punya lama lagi kan… bikin tambah risau seja ni!

In the meantime, am asking the company HR to check if our medical card covers my case. If yes, memang tidak teragak-agak saya proceed at the private hospital!

Till then, pray for me ya friends!

Ready for Just Shoppe Trading!

2011-10-17T09:31:00.000+08:00

Hi people!

Was on 'MC' last Friday. Will blog about it later.

Finally, the biz kits are ready! Well, I must say that I'm a fussy customer! It should be about 4 drafts before I final them! Sorry AnnieMing!

Yeah.. you read me!

Disebabkan geram sama c AnnieMing punya Smooched Marble, so saya dengan tebal mukanya sent email to her requesting her to design for me a set of header, namecard and logo/watermark for my Shoppe. ;p

THANKS again Annie! *wink*

Happy Monday!!

New System at Amcorp Mall

2011-10-13T09:00:00.001+08:00

*sigh*

It's getting hard to do business in Amcorp Mall nowadays.

Management changed! Rules changed too!

Well, the first-old-management has took over the responsibility from the previous-new-management. Senior vendors are saying the first-old-management is very much better then the previous-new-management as the first management tend to moderate-able!

Yeah.. they moderate ONLY to those senior ~~citizens~~ vendors! Faham² la di Amcorp Mall tu banyak jual barangan antik. Yg tukang jual tu pun of coz la org ~~antik~~ tua².

As for us, the new vendors... macam banyak dianak-tirikan la!

Earlier practice during the previous-new-management, all vendors can make payment and register for the following weekend on Sunday afternoon, before tutup kedai. However, we are no longer able to do so. Vendors (except permanent vendors who already there for more than 5 years paying monthly through bank transfer) need to come every Tuesday to make payment, register and book table on the spot for the coming weekend!

I had to queue for nearly one hour and half last Tuesday!

The chinese lady was queuing at my back
been 'womb-ing' before she finally went straight to the 'counter'
kena layan and dapat terus pula register!
Bikin panas!!

Siapa cepat dia dapat nice and strategic location!
When I finally stood in front them, there were only 2-3 tables left!!
And there were more than 5 person queuing behind me?!
Kalau abis, mmg mengamuk ooo!!!

For those not working, no problems la kan. But for us yang makan gaji.. ingat buli suka² hati keluar ofis ka?! Takkan every Tuesday MIA pula!! *sigh*

Of coz, can get other vendor-friend to help out which I did try my luck! Too bad... most of them refuse to do so! Biasa la tu... *double sigh*

Hence, I can't make it to Amcorp Mall this weekend! Hhuhuhuh...

Have to search around other places lor!

Am just gonna stick with "rezeki ada di mana-mana"..

Till then!

2011-10-10T13:08:00.000+08:00

OMG!!!! Am soooo happy to receive the news this morning!! Rasa mau melompat²! Muahahaha..

Robbery in Cybercafe!

2011-10-07T14:01:00.002+08:00

Just to share...

This happened to my uncle quite some times ago.

He was inside the cybercafe, enjoying FB maybe.. hahaha..

Out of sudden, guy(s) - forgotten how many of them - wearing helmet came in with knife and asked everyone inside the cybercafe to give them their belongings - hp, monies, etc...

What my uncle did was... quickly throw/put his hp on the floor and step on it!! Brilliant idea!! He only has to give monies to the robber and save his hp by saying he didn't bring along his hp and show them his pockets! *clap hands*

Robbers are often in hurry. So they won't have time to do a proper-body-check! - I think la!!

Have you thought of doing that in such critical situation???

Have a great weekend ppl! I'll be in Amcorp Mall over the weekend. It's been a while... *sigh*

The Worst Convo??

2011-10-06T14:27:00.000+08:00

Ok.. now you tell me… what is it in your mind when there is a Convocation being held in any Uni???

Crowd.. Flower.. Students wearing robe.. Family… Agree with me??

So, when a friend approached me to join her for a booth sharing for a Convo which will be held in UPNM – Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia at Kem Sungai Besi… despite the “Pertahanan” – means I will be expecting guys in their uniforms… I was actually targeting their family and relatives.

And yeah.. I agreed to join her. The rental for 4 days (Friday to Monday) is only RM300 per booth. Sharing the booth for 3 pax (including myself).. So I only pay for RM100. Before sharing, we have actually considered our selling stuff. Takut juga tidak muat meja. Me with my BO. My friend with her brooch and some clothes (using cloth hanger). The other friend with her makeover which means she actually does not occupy the table. Fare and square lor!

Our booth is actually the parking lot. 1 booth = 1 parking lot. So you can imagine the booth size. The table is smaller than what I have in Amcorp. So, must be good in organizing and displaying stuff. *wink*

We were quite excited to be there on the 1^st day. We were told that there will be an Opening Ceremony held in the afternoon and Malam Kebudayaan at nite.

Day 1 - Semangat setup the booth

Makeover at only RM50 - pun tidak laku!!

Ok.. there were crowd but not really crowd la. Or maybe because of the loooong booth-parking-lots, so all the booths are not centered so hardly see the crowd. Students wander around only hunting for foods! Biasa la kalau guys kan.. mmg makan seja! Hmm…

Crowd is coming! They have just finished with the Opening Ceremony..

Anyway, my first day was fine... managed to get some sales though!

The 2^nd day was worse! Singing-performance rehearsal and karaoke competition in the afternoon and concert at nite didn’t help me to get even 1 sale!!! Wuarghhhh…. Muka memang buruk la sudah hari ni! Hhuhuhuhu…

Bila tiada org, tiada langsung. Kalau ada pun yg student saja!

“It’s ok. Tomorrow is the convo day! Will see the crowd tomorrow.” A statement to kasi senang hati!

We arrived late on our 3^rd day – the Convo day! It’s about time for the 1^st session to come out from the hall. But heyyy… where are the people???!!! Langsung nda meriah ni! Lengang ja! Astaga! Apa punya convo mcm ni!!

Where are the family? Ok.. ada la juga but sikit!

Where are the students with robe?? Ok I saw only 1 girl wearing red robe! The rest but not many are in their uniforms.

Where are the crowd??? Ntah la!! Aduiiii… memang tidak meriah oo!!

The worst part is it was raining that afternoon and kami kebanjiran!! Buli??!!! Sandi eh!!

Air melimpah dari parit!!

Rahmat hujan maybe.. managed to get 1 sale though! Thanks to the student who bought the WHPO! At least, tidak la balik dgn tangan kosong!

Looking at the ‘crowd’, kami tawar hati sudah mau datang the next day. Baik lagi masuk ofis! Huhuhu…

Even that day itself, we closed as early as 7pm! Sitting there since 12noon until 10pm for the past two days is just not worth it!

Makan ja la kerja kami!

Kaki 'petugas' yg kuciwa!!

Food court at our booth??! Kami sewa tapak bkn sewa meja! Tiada privacy betul!!

Overall, I only managed to cover my rental. My friend selling brooch pun tidak balik modal. The other friend doing the makeover lagi la kesian! No business at all! Poor her..

Tidak apa la.. bukan rezeki kami… the experiences yg mahal! AND I am just not feel comfortable to be amongst the uniform guys! Kin takut ni! Hahahahaha…

Amcorp jugak la! *wink*

P/s : am feeling weird these few days... hmmm....

Business Registration with SSM ONLINE

2011-09-29T17:11:00.000+08:00

Still in da business mode... *wink*

It's not to late to share that I have finally and successfully registered my shoppe with SSM via ONLINE!!! Alhamdulillah...

After some thoughts, finally I have the guts (yeah.. need guts to do this!) to register my online business as I think I might be getting serious to be a lau pan niang @ Anty Yong (quoting Sis Mouren)... Hehehehe...

When everyone was busy with the preparation of Raya, I was on the other hand busy with the business registration.

To be honest, quite membingungkan juga with the registration thingy. But yeah.. I made it! *Clap hands*

The timeframe

Trying to recall the steps here for your info...

1. Register with My Government first.

2. Next, register as SSM Subscriber. You have to pay RM5 for this. Payment via direct debit or credit card. Processing time within 24 hours provided if there is no problem with their server! Mine took 48 hours! Grrr...

3. Upon approval, proceed with Application for Business Name Approval. You will be notified through an email on the result (approved or rejected). My first Business Name was rejected due to the number usage which is not allowed. Refer image below.

4. Resubmit your application (repeat step 3).

5. A reference number will be given in the email if your application is approved. You will need the reference number for your business registration application. Fill up the form accordingly and submit. Although the form is quite straight forward the part where you have list down all your businesses is quite confusing though. The terms mcm lebih kurang ja ni. Huhuhu... For full list, click here. 1 year business registration fee is RM60. Don't forget to renew ya... hehehe..

6. Check your email within 24 hours for the result. Look out for your business certificate attached in the 'approval email'. Congrats you are done!!

For info, business registration with SSM is only applicable for business in Peninsular. Huhuhu...

Till then... tatatititutu...

On recent transaction to dispose a property belongs to my beloved Datuk, we found out that the original Sale and Purchase Agreement been MIA!

The lawyer has been chasing us for the original agreement and everyone involved in the transaction was saying it’s not with them!

I know it was there together with the rest of the other agreements as I managed to duplicate the said SPA. I recalled that Datuk has asked for the stake of agreements which has been returned back to me later on.

I have reminded Datuk about that and of coz he couldn’t recalled. He strongly said that he didn’t take any of the original agreement and ask me to check my files. Hmmm… It make me feel guilty and wondering if I really has misplaced the important document! *sigh* *matai la kalau saya yang salah simpan! Berabisan mencari trus ni!*

I have actually suspected Datuk could have passed the agreement to the House Agent which the House Agent also denied that he is having the original agreement!

The ‘culprit’???

The House Agent!! Naaa kannnnn!!!

He called me to apologies and told me that he already found the agreement in his car bonnet!! How could he keep such important document in the car bonnet?!! Astaga… Being me, I just say ok! Malas mau kasi panjang cerita but deep inside me I am soooo relief!! It’s not my fault! Phewww… He also mentioned that he owes me a dinner! Yayyy… No thanks.. huh!!

The next day… Datuk, Madam (Datuk’s sis cum financial advisor) and I received a fruit basket from the House Agent! Rasa bersalah betul² laitu kunun… Hhuhuuhhu…

The fruit basket

The sorry message!

Anak² yang excited dpt fruit basket! Hahaha

Macam biasa.. Rayyan mmg suka posing!

Moral of the story : check and recheck before you speaks!

Till then, Happy Monday!

From Bangkok With Love

2011-09-23T09:00:00.000+08:00

I was like OMG when I saw this pic... The river bikin takut ooo..

Hubby just got back from Bangkok last Sunday!!

His company has arranged a 4D3N Team Building - Amazing Race for the staff in Bangkok! So sambil menyelam sambil minum air la dorang semua. *masih jeles lagi*

On the race... trying to get direction from a hotel staff
(sbb staff hotel ja yg pandai speaks English kunun!)

Congrats to hubby and team for being the Champion of the race! Yess... they are team no 1 out of 7 teams!

Senyum lebar dpt medal & piala

And of coz he brought something for us... *wink*

I like to keep brochures.. :)

Thanks Hubby for the Thai Silk!
It was originally at 850 Thai Baht, after nego the price is 500 Thai Baht (RM50) for 4 meters!
Mesti nego!!

I like the bottom part of the bag. Macam Sarung!
This bag cost him RM43?! Mcm not worth it kan.. *sigh*
but the material is nice though

Rayyan with his grey gajah T-shirt

T-shirts for all of us..

Ryanna with her pink gajah T-shirt

And.. cigarettes!

It was kinda frustrating coz he did not manage to find keychain at all?! Pelik kan?? He only managed to find one stall/shop selling fridge magnet but he thought of looking at other places first and turns up there is no other fridge magnet found after that!! So, no keychain nor fridge magnet.. *sigh*

Hubby claims that he already terrer jalan di Bangkok. So, was thinking of Bangkok pula after this. *wink*

Till then... Happy weekend! Cheers..

Home Appliances Worth RM50??

2011-09-19T14:39:00.000+08:00

Hi you all... how's your day so far??

I started mine with no so good Monday. *sigh* Some miscommunication forcing a meeting that I arranged a week ago started an hour later from the time fixed! Not going to rant bout this... Hmmmm...

So, yeahh... not really in mood here...

Anyway, wanna share here that I am the winner for Chegu Carol's blog giveaway vol 4 winner! Hoorayyy... Bukan senang tau mau jawab soalan dia... mmg kena baca balik her previous entries! But I enjoyed myself doing so... *wink*

As per Carol's email, I'll be receiving home appliances worth RM50 which I can request what are the item. Can you guys suggest what kind of home appliances (falls under RM50) should I ask for? Hahahahah.. buli ka macam tu? Tiba² tidak tau mau minta apa... huhuhhu...

Anyway, thanks in advance Carol... *grin*

Raya 2011 : Behind The Scenes

2011-09-17T00:14:00.000+08:00

Ok... after all my rants bout my Raya 2011 : Balik kampung, 1 Syawal, Beraya di Kundasang & Poring, Wedding and Last day in KK... this entry gonna be the last entry which happened behind the scenes!

Baju Raya

Memang sakit hati la kalau mau cakap pasal baju Raya! Hubby and Rayyan's baju were ok. No prob even though the cost is slightly expensive! *sigh* But ours (me and Ryanna) were really s*cks!! We supposed to collect our baju on the 25/8. 4 days before our flight back to KK. But the baju is not ready yet! *faint* No choice but to push the tailor!

We collected the baju 2 days after that. Siap mmg siap tapi cannot be worn!! Faham2 la kan kalau keja last minit!! Budusss!!! I have to buy new readymade baju for myself! Goshhh... A last minute shopping at Jalan TAR dengan bersesak² di tengah panas was worth it! Managed to find baju with almost the same colour for our theme this year.

Lily's baju
The front portion was actually tailorred reversely

My baju
the upper part is ok
the bottom part is too tight
see the zoom?
kalau melintang, melintang la kan..

Skinhead

The 'nanti la - bisuk la - malas la' excuse by hubby to go for hair cut really pissed me off. He normally would go for a hair cut at this particular salon as he claims that the tukang gunting pandai kasi fesyen his hair. But, at the end he didn't manage to drag himself to the salon and has to go to other salon nearby my house.

As usual, he would asked for "spiky' hair style... tapi itu tukang gunting kasi 'punk' pula!!! Astaga! Punya la bidaaa!!! Forcing myself to agree that he has to go for skin head!! It was one of his dream actually which I never granted. Hahahah... Naa... tercapai sudah hajat c kawan! Not really skin head la.. tapi bald la juga!

my other half

Gold

Aduii... mahal betul emas sekarang kan... It was less than RM100/gram few years back and it is at RM197/gram nowadays.

Well, I am never a fan to gold stuff. I have to admit that I'm getting older now. I have this mindset saying orang tua ja suka emas! Yayyy...

Our stop at Segama on our last day made me invest on a gold ring. Saja mau kasi nampak mana itu duit sudah ilang! Heee...

Bloggers Meet Up

Naaa... no bloggers meet up! Sorry Sis Mouren. Next time time k..

I almost meet Yats too when I was at 1B. She saw my check in at FB and she was there too. Unfortunately, the BBM was super slow and we were on rush. The replies were slow! Didn't manage to meet her too even we were in the same building! Kalau tidak, buli jg kita bersalam-salam kan Yats. Heheh..

Being mom

5 days with the kids alone without my mom's help is very tiring! I have to admit that I am still not good in handling the kids alone. Can't imagine if i have to do house chores some more! Aduii! Salute all the super mothers in the world ooo. Tiba² teringat sama CathJ! *wink*

with my precious

Overall, despite all the sour faces & tension (besa la tu kan!)... I still enjoy my short trip to KK with my hubby and kids! Worth to be tired!

Till then... enjoy your weekend!

Raya 2011 : Last Day in KK

2011-09-15T09:32:00.000+08:00

4 Syawal (2.9.2011)

Our last day in KK. Flight back to KL scheduled at 3.30pm..

Another few more meaningful hours to spend in beloved hometown.

We went to SEGAMA!! Hahahahah... I always preferred Segama then Sinsuran. It always remind me of my childhood. Sitting at the center (yg ada tempat duduk tu) with some snacks while waiting for my mom - shopping!! Heee...

Well, managed to invest something there. Will reveal in my next aka last entry of Raya 2011. *wink*

Thereafter, singgah KK Plaza. Actually, mau cari ATM. Huhuhuhu... Meanwhile, hubby crossed the road beli udang kering! Hah!!!! Half kilo pun jadi la! *grin*

Then, we rushed to 1 Borneo!! It was already 11.30am!! Astaga... sempat lagik kan!!! By hook or by crook, gonna meet my beloved cousin, Lydia this round. Believe it or not... she has never meet my lil Ryanna even though I have went back to KK for 3 times before this. Ada saja aral melintang! Same thing happened that day. We almost can't make it!

So, we met at McDonalds. Happy meals is the best solution for kids yang start meragam! *sigh* Just a quick catch up and some photos of coz...

Ryanna , myself and cousin Lydia

last minute c Rayyan mau jg kena dukung oleh c Anty

Two final things to be done before heading to the airport - hubby dropped by at his family house at Tg Aru and did a car wash! Ha! Sempat lagik kan! Hubby just doesn't feel great returning the car with dirt.

Ok.. have to wave KK already! See you again in November, KK!

Just for my record, we decided to take cab from LCCT Sepang to our house in Pandan Indah instead of bus (the usual transport). Guess what? This is my first time taking cab from airport since my first day in KL! Wooohooooo... too tired already la! Just can't bear it anymore. *roll eyes*

The taxi coupon

Home Sweet Home is what everyone needs after a 'long' journey.....

One more post for Raya 2011 entry after this ok.. jangan la kamu boring baca! Huhuhuuh...

Wordless Wednesday : Medan

2011-09-14T09:31:00.000+08:00

Has started my research on Medan for the pass few days.

Can't wait to meet Lake Toba in May next year!! *wink*

Raya 2011 : Wedding

2011-09-13T17:45:00.000+08:00

3 Syawal (1.9.2011)

We got to rush back too KK from Poring as I have to attend a friend's wedding at Penampang, 3pm.

Elly was my ex-housemate back in UPM.

Congrats to Elly and spouse!

I have contacted other housemate so that we are able to catch each other. Lama sdh tidak jumpa especially Elly! She didn't make it to my wedding in 2007. She didn't make it to our mini reunion in 2009. So yeahhh... it shud be about 10 years! Wow!!!

Some photos we managed to snap...

From left - myself, Mia, Elly, Elly's hubby, Ila and Mandy
Supposed to be 7 of us in total - Betsy & Sab not attending.
Betsy went back kampung and Sab is on confinement

Mia and I with our kids
Mia left Baby Natalie at home

Was hoping all of us can gather in the next wedding of Ila or Mandy! Hehehehe...

After that, hubby dropped me and kids at Centre Point. I need to pass something to my aunt who is working there. Meanwhile, hubby yamcha with his friends.

Mom's sister with Ryanna
Where is Rayyan?? Outside, waiting for me...
mau pigi Keko! Hah!

It was my last nite in KK. Supposed to meet up with my cousin, so can't meet Sis Mouren @ Wyne, but cousin also too tired as she also just arrived from kampung. So, packing and resting at the room.

Am going back to KL the next day... *wink*

Raya 2011 : Beraya di Kundasang & Poring

2011-09-12T11:43:00.000+08:00

2 Syawal

We went to Kundasang! Convoy 4 cars! *wink*

Rayyan, Hakimi and my youngest SIL - Icca

Kundasang/Ranau is one of the venue wajib to go when Raya. Visiting/beraya at hubby's mom side relatives.

It's peaceful here!!

That half day alone, we went to 2 houses. We departed quite late - about 12++ noon. Biasa la kalau beramai² kan. proses tunggu-menunggu tu yg memakan masa. Huhuhu...

Us with hubby's Mama (grandmother)
Sayang betul ni gambar blurr

After the 2nd house, the other 3 cars drive back to KK and we on the other hand checked-in at Lohan Rest House. That was what planned by hubby and myself. Initially we wanted to check-in at Kundasang area, but all full house already! *sigh*

Lohan Rest House was the only place that available. Our room was at RM85/nite.

Me and my family went there before for our CNY family gathering in 2009. That was how I 'met' this rest house. The rest house has been improved compared to our 1st visit.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to take any photos as lil daughter was attached with me 24 hours starting the day we arrived KK! Because of that, all my actions are limited! Mandi pun kena tunggu dia tidur! Buat apa² pun sambil dukung dia! *faint*

At nite, ada la jugak pusing² pasar malam and pekan Ranau... even though all the shops were already closed! Huhuhu... before went back to the resthouse, dropped by at G-Mart. Kasi beli c Rayyan mainan! *slap forehead*

3 Syawal

After having our breakfast, we headed to Poring. Saja bawa anak² p mandi manda.*wink*

Old Bridge vs New Bridge

Both Rayyan & Ryanna hairan tengok 'air'

Ready for mandi!

Trying to take a family photo tp terputung la pulak mulut c Ryanna

Macam biasa, on the way balik KK mesti park kereta di siring (tepi) jalan, along the Kundasang road. Sambil menghirup udara segar, sambil snap² photos. *grin*

From the day we landed in KK, Rayyan sibuk cari Keko (Tesco)
Tu yang 'down' tu!

To be continued...

Raya 2011 : 1 Syawal

2011-09-09T10:37:00.000+08:00

Well, it was a plain 1 Syawal I would say...

We visited SIL's grave in Sembulan first thing in da morning before we headed to Tg Aru - hubby's family house.

Sibuk tengok apa tu...

Sayu ja muka dorang ni..

Sayu-sayu pun peace jugak! hehehehe...

PLAIN - totally different if compare with previous years. It was because my parent in law was not there on 1 Syawal morning. They only arrived from KL at night. So, we do not have the acara bersalam-salaman! Besides, hubby's big bro has to work and the other bro pula tak nampak batang hidung. *sigh*

Yg ada cuma big bro's wife, hubby's two younger siblings and the kids and US! Hmmm...

Aikk... layan psp pulak budak-budak ni...

My Rayyan!

My Ryanna!

baru mau bekawan-kawan

Myself and Ryanna!

Daddy and the kids!

I am quite disappointed as we didn't have a family photo this year as Rayyan was too busy playing with his cousin. *sigh*

After makan-makan, we decided to go to Papar - my aunt's house (even we can't confirmed if they are around. Can't get them through the phone) Gamble seja la!

Serve us right! NO ONE AT HOME!!! *slap forehead*

We wanted to go to another BIL's house also in Papar but he was also beraya di rumah keluarga sebelah wife! huhuhuuh..

We went back dengan hati yg kuciwa! Wuaaaaaaaaaaa....

Untuk mengubat hati yg lara (konon!), we dropped by at a lemang stall somewhere along the meruntum road... Lemang tasted good but the rendang was not nice!

Lemang @ RM9/stick! Stick kecil ja lagi tu!

KK was raining that afternoon. So, we went back to our apartment. Get some rest before we fetched parent in law at nite.

That's my 1 Syawal for this year...

For click here for balik kampung entry.. Happy Friday you all.... *wink*

Raya 2011 : Balik Kampung

2011-09-08T12:11:00.002+08:00

Ok.. let's start with Part 1 of my Raya stories. *wink*

Our flight back to KK was on the 29/8/11 at 3.55pm via Fireflyz (departing at KLIA instead of LCCT). Of coz we do not want to take the risk to be caught in the jammed. Everyone is balik kampung. So yeah.. we opted for ERL (KLIA Express) which takes only 28min to arrive KLIA from KL Sentral.

I purchased our family tickets online. Family tickets means 2 adults + 2 children which cost me RM75. Normal price would be RM35/adult and RM15/child. Oh in case you wonder... my mom is not joining us back this round. Our first trip without my mom! Huhuhuhu...

While waiting for our train.. sempat la snap some pictures as this was my first time taking the ERL. Mahal ba! Taking bus only cost us RM8 - RM10 per adult. Huhuhuhu...

Tengok la luggage kami!!

Ok... arrival at KKIA... (to cut story shorts punya pasal.. hihihihi..) We were welcomed by our car rental agent! I bet my dad will be handicapped without his car since it is a long holidays. So, we have to rent a car!

All kancils were sold out! The cheapest in town that I managed to get is Myvi at RM100 day! And we are renting it for 4 days!! *faint*

Our 4-days Myvi

After few consideration, hubby with heavy hearted decided that we are to check-in else where! We are not going back to hubby's family house as previous years.

So, we check-in at Promenade Service Apartments, Api-Api Centre, KK. You guys know where it is rite. Selalu saya limpas seja di area ni... hohohoho...

Here are some photos of the units we stayed..

1 Syawal Flash Back

2011-08-26T11:25:00.001+08:00

I'm still in the office ok.Belum start cuti lagi. Huhuhu...

Just wanna thanks to the company for giving all the staff a week break next week! The company is giving a free leave on Monday 29/8 and force leave on Friday 2/9! Thanks boss!!

I will be flying back to KK on 29/8 and come back to KL on 2/9! So no extra leave applied. Saving annual leave for another trip to KK in November - attending cousin's wedding!! ~~Duit lagik!!~~

So, how's your Raya preparation as at to date??

Well, I have just received my baju raya for my hubby and son. Still hoping that the other tailor can made it for my daughter and myself. We sent them to different tailors. It's a long story. Malas mau cerita! The tailor promised we can collect the baju yesterday but we were pissed off that the baju is not ready yet!! The tailor asked us to come this afternoon. Harap siap la! Kalau tidak, kena beli baju ready made lor!! *sigh*

Some flash back on previous years 1 Syawal...

1 Syawal 2007 - just few months after married. wearing our baju nikah

1 Syawal 2008 - forfeited our flight ticket to KK.
Can't take the risk terberanak dalam kapal! 3 weeks to due date!

Nyway, trying to make an auto-published entries kalau sempat...

Till then... Happy holidays to my non-Muslim friends. To Muslim friends, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri... Maaf zahir dan batin... *wink*

Look-alike MOUTH ULCER!

2011-08-25T11:43:00.000+08:00

Looking at the above pic, do you think it is mouth ulcer? Macam kan??

NOPE.. IT IS NOT MOUTH ULCER!

Here is the story behind.

On Monday night, Rayyan and Ryanna were happily playing they new toy/doll. Out of sudden, we heard a loud bang! It was really loud!!

The ulat bulu!

Rayyan fell down while 'chasing' his ulat bulu!!!! For a second, Rayyan was stoned sambil tertiarap before both his hands cover the mouth and that was when the bleeding part! Rayyan starts crying.

Mom and I went panicky. Hubby came out from the bedroom when he heard us in yelling tone.

Mom ran around dunno what to to do while me was looking for a wet tissue!

Hubby terus dukung c Rayyan. Trying to calm him down. We used the wet tissue to clean the bleeding. It's a lot!!!

Kesian betul tengok c Rayyan menangis kesakitan. The saliva keeps on drooling as Rayyan dare not to close his mouth.

After the bleeding stops, Rayyan points at his lip telling us that it is painful and point at the medicine too. He wants us to apply some medicine on his lip.

We normally don't face any problem to feed Rayyan with medicine. He will tell us when he is having headache (pandai juga sakit kepala oo budak²) or stomachache or even mosquito bite and he will asks us to give him some medicine or apply cream for the mosquito bites. That's my boy!

Looking him in pain specially to see the bleeding from a small kid really break our heart! *teary eyes*

Mom told me rayyan dare not to play the next day. He was just sitting there watching tv and don't even bother Ryanna yang sibuk mau bawa dia main. Huhuhu..

I just realize he broke his teeth too.. pecah sikit la! Duiiii...

And now he is back on track again! *sigh*

Pesanan dari mummy : Rayyan jangan jajal lagi aa...

Till then, happy Thursday! Mood malas sudah ni... *wink*

Wordless Wednesday : Musician

2011-08-24T08:28:00.000+08:00

My two HEROES
Bkn main lagi c Rayyan kan.. hahahahah..

Mood Raya On-Off

2011-08-23T12:23:00.000+08:00

When most of the Muslim is already in their Raya's mood, I'm on the other hand 50-50 only! That answer why I haven't rant about my Raya preparation.

So far, what have been done was Baju Raya! Should be collecting the baju raya in another 2 days.

Biskut raya and kuih muih... NONE!!

I normally won't 'make up' my house coz we only open house for family and relatives. So, don't want to waste $$$.

Original plan was celebrating raya in KL this year and having family gathering in Cameron Highlands as we have already went back to KK last year for Raya.

All plan changed immediately when hubby's sister passed away on 29/6/2011. It was a big loss to the family. Hence, hubby wants us to go back for Raya this year as he and the family wish to visit his late sister's grave on Pagi Raya.

Purchasing flight ticket for Raya in July caused a hole in our pockets!!! Normally, we would purchase our flight ticket in advance of at least 6 months! Tapi, tidak apa la kan.. Semua tidak dijangka..

Plan for Raya in KK keeps on changing due to some 'internal problems' and it almost kill my raya mood. *sigh*

It will be a short Raya celebration in KK. Only 5D4N! Will only touch down KK on 29/8/2011. Tiket mahal ba.. asal dapat balik sudah la!

Praying hard that everything will be as smooth as possible specially our car rent! ~~Setengah mati mau cari kurita!~~

So how's your Raya preparation??

Getting serious!!

2011-08-22T16:59:00.000+08:00

Hi guys... how's ur weekend and your day so far??

My weekend at Amcorp was superb!! Both the crowd and sales! *wink* Being the only booth selling Bag Organizer, oppss.. i think there is another booth selling BO too but different type.. I think I am doing just great with the products! *thumbs up*

Talking bout business, I am now in the midst of registering my business with SSM via online. Takut jg kena saman sebab tidak register the business. Heheheehe...

Banyak songeh jugak kalau thru online ni...

I hope everything is in order and I can proceed with other steps upon successful!

Got my title?? Yess... I am getting serious in my biz!!

Will blog about it later ya.. *wink*

Till then, cheersss....

Cath-j.com Blog Guest : My Wedding Gown

2011-08-19T10:00:00.003+08:00

Click image to join
Due Date : 21/8/2011

I have never participate myself in Cath's Blog Guests before this and since she invited me personally, so terpaksa la juga join! Hahahah... just kidding Cath!

I wore two 'gowns' on my wedding day.

I put on my malay costume first (when we arrived at the hall).

The bridal studio we went (Ever Best Studio KK) did not have many choices of malay costumes. I tried songket as well but I looked plum with songket. But actually the minute I saw the lace kebaya, i already aimed that one. Simple, sexy and the lace that I love so very much!

Guess what?? I have to add additional RM100 for this 'gown' as I could not have 2 white 'gowns' on the same package. Padahal masa tengok² baju, I have asked whether I can have them both. The PIC said yes. Tapi bila mau bayar, mula la minta lebih². He asked for additional RM200 at first. Argue la apa lagik! Kin panas!!

saat paling mendebarkan

After 'merenjis', we changed to 2nd costume. Me wearing the white gown.

Well, this gown was not the one I wanted earlier as I booked the other gown with red roses on it. Unfortunately, the person who booked before me did not returned the gown on time and so I have to choose other gown. Kinda regret I didn't wear the red-roses-gown for my photography session! *sigh*

Being guilty, the bridal asked me to choose gown from the higher package. Yang lebih cantik and exclusive la konon.

I purposely chose gown that is not too tight/fit (yg menampakkan bentuk body) and too off shoulder (konon!). Kes menjaga hati sama in-law. hahahahaha... I wish I could wear gown yang lebih cantik. Kalau ikut hati, mmg bnyk lg cantik but yeahhh... faham-faham la kan..

The gown was one of few that chose by the bridal person that she thinks will suit my requirements. Thanks to the bridal person. Since the rest are kinda 'too much' so I chose this one coz I like the details on the front top of the gown. *wink*

That's all bout my gowns. Didn't managed to dig out other photos. So, ini saja yang mampu...

Thanks Cath for the invitation. *wink*

Moon da Cake!

2011-08-16T12:26:00.000+08:00

Besides Raya, Mooncake festival also just around the corner.

Mooncake pun bersepah-sepah sdh di mall.

Like Stella, mooncake with yolk is also my fav!! Even though the price punya la mahal... Belas-belas ringgit for 1 piece. Tapi tetap kena beli! mau makan punya pasal!! Hohohoho...

I still remember when I was in Uni, me and my roomate, Sab (Congrats Sab for the new born baby boy!) share-share beli 1 biji RM8-yolk-mooncake! Hahahahah...

Anyway, as at to date, I have yet to buy any mooncake. But last week, my bro, who is working with Starbuck brought home 2 pcs of Starbuck's mooncake... Caramel & Tiramisu.

Starbuck Tiramisu Mooncake
Yg Caramel nda sempat gambar sdh abis! hahaha

The taste so-so seja. Must hunt the yolk one juga ni. *wink*

Till then, Happy Tuesday!

The few-days-missing stories

2011-08-15T10:11:00.000+08:00

Morning all... having monday blues?? me too... hahhahaha...

Oh myyy.... my last entry was last Wed?!!! *sigh*

Since my dear Datuk has to 'fly' on Friday, so kinda busy on Thursday.

Am taking leave on Friday to settle my Passport and detained parcel by Custom for the 3rd time!!!! Grrrrrr...

I called the Immigration on Thursday to check on the Passport application status. The officer told me that Sabah Immigration has approved my application so I can come to proceed with the necessary. I was thinking that it should have been ready and I can just go there and collect??!!! Hmmm.. Ok.. whatever!!

So, Friday morning we went back to the same branch. We got our passport in less than 30 minutes after making our payments. Fast huh?!

Finally...

We then rush to Kastam, Sepang. It's Friday. I was worried that the counter might close as early as 11.30am! They actually close at 12noon! Hahahah..

Nyway, no tax has to pay this round as my parcel valued less than RM500! The bank transfer slip proof it all! Itu officer macam nda puas hati lagi tu. Cisss.... Bikin panas!!

We went back home.. rehat2 kejap then I went to the saloon near my house... believe it or not it's been more than a year I didn't go to saloon coz i'm keeping my hair!! Rambut jenis lambat panjang!

The new me... well... I just go for rebonding la... *wink*

Raya hair...

Weekend's agenda... shopping!!! Thanks to hubby sebab good mood mau layan anak-anak while the moms sibuk shopping. Heheheheh...

And I finally met Cath-J in person. Terserempak masa mau bayar parking at Jusco Maluri yesterday. Being a blogger, sempat juga c Cath minta the MIL to take a photo of us. Thanks anty. :)

Passport oh Passport!

Since hubby's company is arranging a trip to Bangkok next month.. (punya la bikin jeles kan!) so, we went to the Immigration Counter at Wangsa maju last Sunday to apply for Passport.

Have called and checked whether they are open or not... *wink*

Counter opened at 8am and reached there at 9am, expecting less people! Sekali tengok.. panjang jugak la the queue!

And the funny part was the minute we parked the car, a lady already waiting outside. Mula la saya fikir yang bukan-bukan. Rupa-rupanya she was from the kedai gambar! Bukan ulat tiket ja ada. Ulat gambar pun ada! Miahahahahah...

Since we do not have passport photo (Hubby says immigration also provide 'photoshoots'), we followed the lady. Well, the lady actually overheard my statement and she told us there will be no photo-taking service on weekend. At first she quoted RM10 for 4pcs passport photo but then she reduced to RM8. Ok la jg.. standard la!

Like this pic!
Selalunya, malu-malu mau senyum!

It's our turn after an hour queuing!

"Asal Sabah?" the officer asked.

"yup."

"mak bapa asal Sabah?"

"yup."

"Kalau asal Sabah, kena datang waktu berkerja Isnin hingga Jumaat. Passport siap dalam 5 hari!"

All my excitements gone!! Iya la kan.. excited la juga mau p buat passport kan. Sekali tengok.... hmmm...

We went back dengan hati yang frust and returned again on Monday. Hubby needs to give his passport details to the HR asap.

On weekdays, counter opened at 7.30am. We reached there at 7.45am.

The officer will only give your nombor giliran when all your docs are in order and complete as per following :

1. Filled up form

2. My Kad/IC original and 2 copies

3. Birth Cert original and 2 copies (for Sabahan applying in Peninsular)

4. Passport photo 2 copies

Waited less than 30 mins for my number to be called.

At the counter... guess what???

"kenapa IC you takde H yer?????" mau pengsan saya dengar!!! Another problem here!!

"Err.. entah! Memang dari dulu mcm tu jer... " I never bother bout the "H" at the right bottom of my IC. And none of any agencies has issued with that all these while! Why after 30 years?????

"You kena buat IC baru yer. Pegi kat sebelah. Ckp nak buat IC H. IC sementara tu you buat 2 salinan dan datang jumpe saya balik." instructed the officer. I stepped out with heavy hearted and confuse!!

My hubby said saya ni pendatang dari Philippines! Wuaaaaaa...

Nak buat passport jer tapi tak pasal-pasal kena buat IC la pula!! Luckily, the JPN is next door only and not many people. I think my photo snapped at the JPN pun mcm tekejut ja ni!

IC sementara with H!

The application letter
Will have to call Immigration on this Thursday to check the status

Anyway, after all the mess.. everything was settled even mcm tidak puas hati. Tidak 1Malaysia betul ooo....

Pssttt.... check out my WW tomorrow! A never revealed photo! Yayy...

Beaufort's House Disposed and Transferred!

2011-08-08T12:11:00.000+08:00

FINALLY!!! Me and mom were so glad that our house in Beaufort has finally disposed and transferred to the buyer!

The whole process were damn slow!

We signed our Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) in January this year which the SPA were dated 8/3/11.

And we have been waiting waiting and waiting...

As per agreement, the completion should be done before 7/7/11. The bank initially promised everything can be settled in June. Not sure what took them so long and we have to grant them for extension! *sigh*

waving to the house!
We hardly stay here since we bought the house
and it is very hard to maintain a property when we are far away
not to mention the travel period from KK!

At last, we received a cheque being the balance of purchase price from the lawyer firm on last Friday, means the property has been transferred! Hoorayyyy.... *relief*

On other notes, me and hubby are currently waiting for our Putatan Platinum Apartment's house key! As per schedule, it should be ready by end of this year. *wink*

Till then... cheersss...

Next entry, my rant on passport application! *sigh*
