I might, I might not.

I am at the point when I don't really care about having friends in real life.
Why bother to have friends when it is only 'one-sided affair'.
Do I care about my close friends?
Funny, I am not so sure.
Do they care about me?
I am not so sure, either.
This does sounded mean and it is an awful thing to do.
Sometimes breaking up with a friend is the right thing to do.
I might and I might NOT. Astarghfirullahal'azim!!

Kamu Sayangku

2010-03-12T01:10:00.008+08:00

Kamu tu macam kain sutera putih.
Lembut, halus, bersih.

Aku perhati dari jauh, kamu itu makin jauh.

Jauh dari pilihan hidup kamu.
Aku sayang kamu, wahai Anggun.
Macam aku sayang darah daging aku.
Aku sayang kamu lebih kerana kamu saudara baru.
Aku sedih. Sebab aku hanya mampu bingit pada kamu
dgn taipan YM, dengan Emoticon.
Yang mungkin pada kamu tidak bererti langsung.
Aku benci. Bukan pada kamu. Tidak mungkin pada kamu.
Aku benci apa yang kamu lakukan pada dirimu.
Persis melakarkan torehan pada diri dgn pisau, kamu menzalimi diri sendiri.
Subhanallah!
Berkali-kali aku berdoa agar Allah menganugerahi kesejahteraan kepada semua Muslim.
Berilah kamu itu hidayah dan petunjuk.
Agar kamu tidak lagi khayal, sesat dengan segala kenikmatan yang duniawi semata.
Mungkin aku belum cukup bersungguh berdoa.
Bila kamu berpatah balik.
Bila kamu mau bertaubat nasuha.
Bila kamu mau berhenti dari menjadi Muslim hanya pada nama.
Hanya Allah 'Azza Wa Jalla yang tahu.

“Dan barangsiapa menyembah Tuhan yang lain di samping (menyembah) Allah, padahal tidak ada suatu dalilpun baginya tentang itu, maka sesungguhnya perhitungannya di sisi Tuhannya. Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang kafir itu tiada beruntung.” (QS. Al-Mu’minun: 117).

Almost Went Bananas

2010-03-06T16:01:00.003+08:00

Alya wasn't pink in health these few weeks. She was having viral fever with cough and flu. I wasn't well before that. She MUST HAVE gotten the infection from me. Her fever was fairly low graded but coughing and blocked nose troubled her sleep. Appetite was decreasing. Poor Alya.
She was always in a bad mood but actively playing and crawling and standing up and pulling and picking things up to put in her mouth. That's Alya.
Doc gave her Sy. Klacid for 6 days plus some other symptomatic meds.
He started her on antibiotic coz he said Alya's throat was slightly red.
Yeah... I know. I was a nurse in Paeds Ward. It was totally different to nurse your own child then my own patients.
She was okay with her meds. I tasted those meds. Wasn't that bad taste afterall except for flu med and Klacid. Upon the completion of her Klacid fever and flu was almost gone. From my past experience, I know that the cough would be the last thing to go. Monitored her temp every now and then. Gave her plenty of fluid too. I could say that she was almost recovering as she was afebrile. No fever at all. Alhamdulillah..

One night her fever relapsed. Now, this second episode of fever worried me enough to bring her to the Gov clinic for a blood test. (Million thanks to Yati and Paie coz they both brought us to the clinic) I saw the result myself and again it was viral. The Doc said the same thing. Phewww.. It was just another viral fever on top of another. Still, pity her. A day after that her flu came back. Her mood swings kicked in. She was clingging to me all the time. This situation went on for 2-3 days. I was exhausted and devestated. :( I really, really felt as if I was going bananas! Subhanallah!! (At the same time, my hubby was not well too. A trip to an Island caused it. :( )

I thank Allah the Almighty that He answered my prayers. Alya now is on the road to recovery. Appetite is back.
Afebrile or not she is still active as her energy is endless!! (Papa recovered well too, next time drink plenty of mineral water (NOT R.O water) when exposed to sun for a long time, ok?? )

It is Tuesday

Pijat bukan Pepijat

2010-02-04T20:06:00.003+08:00

A wonderful week indeed. Yesterday we took a stroll from our apartment to the pool side.
I got a chance to swim...!! Yayyy!! That's a bliss! How much I miss swimming.
I miss my swimming buddy too. :(

Went to the receptionist and I asked for masseur to come to our home.
Ibu Yuni was her name. A single Mom with 4 children and a grandson.
She massage both of my Moms and myself too. Rp 100,000 per person.
That's about RM37.60. CHEAP.
Her massage therapy was excellent! I wanna have it every week, please... :)

Alhamdulillah! We were able to spend loadsa quality time together.
Alya, Mom, MIL and I went to Bandung on Tuesday. It was a day trip.
Our time was really short there. We managed to do some shopping.

But, seriously. A day in Bandung is never enough.
Loadsa shopping to do, places to go. (sigh.....)

The Stranger Inside Me

2009-02-04T12:55:00.002+08:00

It has been so long, really… really long since. But, only within this week I’ve decided to blog about something. It’s a dream for any married couple to have children of their own. I’ve been blissfully married for one year now. Month after month we tried hard to conceive and it was a stressful time for both of us. I think we were trying too hard.

Finally, we came back from Uganda to our home country. I personally came back with a very relaxed mind. I do have plans to work again at that point in time. Nursing is my flesh and blood. I do miss my job so much and envied my friends who are working in the UAE and KSA. Made up my mind that if there is no ‘missed period’ I will pack my bag and leave to work outside Malaysia by end on 2008. I would say that I was happy and stress-free. I was almost ready to go to Melorita to sign up under them.

When you are stress-free you are likely to have a balanced hormonal activity thus providing a good well being emotionally, physically and biologically. I had my first ‘missed period’ in mid August. I was late for more than a week and I told no one about it. I felt something was not ‘right’ as my body temperature was increased every morning. I had this terrible calf pain and I was easily tired. I don’t really have a terrible ‘morning sickness’ so I really thought it was nothing. Did the home pregnancy test one morning and Alhamdulillah the result was positive. The first person to know about the result was my brother. He was home with me alone at that time. He was happy for me. Yasmirr was really glad when I deliver him the great news. I can hear him ‘smiling’ over the phone as he was out that morning to run some errands. He was the happiest person from that day onwards.

The 1^st antenatal checkup was done in SDMC (my old workplace).( A friend suggested a wonderful lady Obstetrics and Gynecologist specialist whom I later found out that she had actually conducted my mom’s delivery of my youngest sister 13 years ago.) For the first time I saw this tiny lump that has had already both lower and upper limbs on the ultrasound. It will keep on growing and growing inside me. I call it The Stranger. It was a speechless moment for both of us when we saw it. So… so… so… precious tiny creature but it was immense enough to be called a ‘our symbol of love and affection’. There was no heartbeat yet but I was sure there will be soon…

Family in Uganda

2008-06-20T14:38:00.004+08:00

To be here in Uganda for the second time made me realize some things. I am grateful to have another wonderful family. Not connected at all by blood but by a quite strong friendship. They are my friends who came from thousands of miles across the globe. I do believe all of them are searching for the best in life and a better future. I am amazed by their determination to be away from dearly loved family for a long period of time so as to have finer things in life.

There are always stories to be shared and jokes to be laughed aloud about.
Not to mention the endless amount of good delightful dishes on the table almost at every gathering. I had a wonderful time throughout activities that we do together such as playing cards, bowling and table tennis.

We had a rather educational trip to the Equator. An exhilarating trip to Ngamba Island-The Chimpanzee Island via speed boat. There are still places in Uganda to be discovered. I was hoping for a chance to visit the ever renowned African Safari and to be close with knuckle-walking gorillas. I would love to experience these together with my fantastic hubby and of course our fellow friends.

Different Month

2008-06-19T22:38:00.000+08:00

Before I start updating my Friendster, I've stayed in Uganda for an amazing 3 months. With an open-mind I embarked on an unknown journey with my beloved hubby, Yasmirr. As a newlywed I'm definitely clueless of what to expect. So, I decided to keep my expectation in my new life at a very acceptable level. There's always a first time in everything. Yes, this is my first time being abroad for a long period of time.(I was in Jakarta in 2005 for a week and by few days I was eager to fly back.)

Gone in early January 2008 and I was back again in Malaysia in March. In the month of April I could hardly stayed at home. There's always places to go to run our errands and all. I got a chance to visit my hubby's extended family in Merlimau and Bahau. Went up and down government offices, settle this and that, went for a Thai massage, met one of my closest friend. Too bad we did not have a chance to go for movies. Eventually, we managed to have a short holiday with my family in Port Dickson.

I have had some doubts in coming back to Uganda for the second time. So much used to Malaysian way of hustle and bustle and its 'canggih' cities that's why. Like any other expatriate, one would definitely miss their home country and their family so much. Well, they are just a phone call away. But, there's a huge difference between listening to their voice and seeing, hugging them in person.

Just a day after we came back from our PD trip, we both flew back to Uganda. Personally, I came back with different feelings. I secretly fell in love with this place. Those feelings are yet to be discovered. Or maybe my feelings towards my hubby is stronger then the first day I was married to him. Most definately I can't stay afar from Yasmirr for too long.
