Just A Feeling

Tomorrow morning we’re schedule to push out early in the morning. Off we go to Tersang. *sigh*

 It’s been a month or so of me staying in Kedah prior to confinement period. Come to think of it, it’s been really nice actually. I’ve been pampered all day long. It’s been ages since I last had so much time spent with my family members – Ayah, Mak, Yen and I. Urgh, I’m so gonna miss them so much especially Mak’s delights.

Rifqi sleeps with his Tok tonight. Even though my parents didn’t say it out loud, I’m dead sure that they’re going to miss the grandson so very much. Not to mention Rifqi’s Ucu as well. Having said that, I tried to persuade Mak to come down KL once in a while. She said that it will be difficult to promise anything but she’ll try. There you go Mak!

I better get my things ready. Urgh, I’m so not in the mood to pack. Heeeeelllllpppppppp!!!!!!!

- Congratulation to my JJ chum, Zara on her wedding day. Have a blessed married life, dear friend. -

Good Riddance

I met my so-called best buddy when I was doing my practical training back in 2003. Since then we are inseparable. We remained good friend even after my marriage.

But lately, things started to rock a little. And now, we are stranger to each other. Even though it is a difficult, I just simply have to cut our friendship out of my life.

17th January was the last day we spent together. I bid you farewell my buddy, bantal busuk hijau. I believe it’s time to let you go. I’ll cherish every moments with you.

Forever.

I promise.

Huhuhu…it’s hard to let our friendship fade away. But like what Mak says…It is time to move on. You’re a mother now. You ain’t got time for your bantal busuk anymore. You’ve got your child to pay attention to.

Come to think of it. You’re right Mak! Gee, thanks for reminding me.

A New Skill To Learn

Zam is here with me now after two weeks separation. He went back to Tersang last week. Finally Rifqi gets his chance to memerap with his Babah. As for me, I’m taking this opportunity to rejuvenate (hehe, which spells S.L.E.E.P) and to finish reading my all time obsession – Enid Blyton’s “The Faraway Tree”. <Deng>

And…oh! I’ve learned a new lullaby, taken from the “Prince of Egypt” soundtrack. Can’t remember the title though, but I remember the lyric. It goes something like this;

Hush now my baby,

be still love don’t cry,

sleep like you’ve rocked by the stream,

sleep and remember my lullaby,

and i’ll be with you in your dreams.

With my boleh tahan voice, Rifqi has put to sleep with this lullaby twice. That’s a record I should say. Huh?

A Hoax Waiting To Be Exposed

Last Monday, I received a phone call from Level 44 KLCC operator telling me to call his respective Northern Branch officer. I gave him, Mr. Shukri a call. His fellow colleague answered the phone, Miss Nadia. After introducing myself, she started the conversation by congratulating me for being among the 25 winners of northern area. I went blank for a while. I asked her for detailed explanation. She continued by giving me all the needed information. She claimed that her company is an electrical joined company with 17 members from all over Malaysia. As a tradition, the company will select lucky ones from all over the country to be given prizes. The prizes vary from cars to cash.

Later, I asked how was I picked as a winner. She told me that the company select winners according to their returned warranty card. Hmm, sounds logical and relevant, I said to myself. I asked her again whether I may know what electrical appliance had I bought that made me a winner and she started to change the topic.

Next, she asked me to be at the office tomorrow at 9 am to collect the prize. I also need to bring along a photostate copy of my I/C, bank account ( Tabung Haji or ASB) and a pasport size photo. I hanged up the phone with a mixture of feelings. I was pretty convinced but at the same time I was in doubt too. I decided not to go there the next morning (actually it was supposed to be my father) as I figure that it could be a hoax.

After all, no regret.

A Bedtime Story

The clock just strikes thrice indicating that it is now 3 o’clock in the morning…and I haven’t manage to catch a single wink of sleep today. Rifqi fell asleep about five minutes ago and I’m hoping that it will lasts till morning; even though I know for sure that it is impossible.

Rifqi is now weighing 5.1 kg. Hmm, it’s a no brainer to figure out how he gained that much from the previous hospital visit. His feeding time has changed to every 2-3 hours nowadays. He refuses to drink bottled milk and demand to be breastfed. I figure out that it is going to create problems later whenever I start working again. Therefore, to prevent this from happening, I’m going to alternately start feeding him; breastfed, bottled milk. Let’s hope my plan will work out.

I better go get some sleep now…while I can. Good night people.

Memerap Sokmo!

A moment of silence – my condolence to Ayue who lost her Aunt recently. Al- Fatihah. Semoga roh Arwah ditempatkan bersama-sama golongan yang beriman. Amin.

I’m getting tired easily nowadays; especially during daytime. Rifqi has been throwing tantrums at odd hours now. It usually starts at 11 pm till 4 in the morning. He refuses to sleep and won’t stop crying. He only sleeps when cuddled; try putting him down – straight away he opens his eyes. Duh!

Today, Mak bought Rifqi a new set of mittens and bootees and it is pink! I told Mak that pink is always associated with girl but she said that Rifqi needs a brighter shades for his M&B collections. Enough said. Hmm, besides that Mak also bought a rocking chair, so that it will be easier for me to look after Rifqi later ( while doing the house chores). Hope that the trick will work too to calm him down at night. Zzz…

Bags? Anyone?

Women. Beauty.

Inseparable.

Being occupied most of the time has taken a toll on me. This morning, while brushing my hair, I noticed something horribble (yeah, maybe I’m making it sounds more serious than it really is). Urghh…I have eyebags! Duh, the price to pay on staying up late on a regular basis.

I remember that the last time I had eyebags was during Uni’s life. My best friend, Ris and I religiously burnt the midnight oil almost every night. Sometimes it was for studying purposes; but most of the time it was meant for leisure. Being a VCDs freak, both of us can actually watch the same movie over and over again. Especially if the hunky Takeshi Kaneshiro and Nicholas Tze starred in it (Teru Teru Bozu). We set the record straight of watching the total of 8 (eight) VCDs and I’m sure it is yet unbreakable! What a life back then huh!

Oh yeah..Ris, at last you’ve made it to Kedah babe. It was good to have you here the other day. It was even better to be able to catch up on things – the pasts and the recents. You’ve been such a good friend of mine and the memories are always treasured and cherished. Forever.

The Unwritten

My days are now filled with unwritten schedule. Feeding, bathing, changing diapers…the lists went on and on.

To all my sisters, thanks a bajillion for dropping by; leaving those heart warming messages. Hmm, can’t wait to be back as well. At first, I thought that confinement period spells heaven, now I guess it is vice versa. I’m totally bored here – to the maximum. I now announce myself as a totally critical TV junkie. The must read page in the newspaper everyday would be the TV programmes, and as expected remote control is under my control! Hahaha…

Another news to share – Rifqi was born weighing 3.19 kg and now after 20 days (the last time he went for check up) he weighs about 4.1 kg. Gaining a kilo within few days. No wonder his Ucu usually makes fun of his chipmunk-like cheek. Kesian Rifqi ye…

I think it is not to late to wish everyone Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha and a Happy New Year! May this year will bring us happiness and joy.
