Just Updates

waahh.. asik update je sejak dua menjak ni. Sebabnya, baru ada cerita nak diceritakan. huhu. Cukup-cukupla cerita pasal Hamza, ye dak?

Updates on the House..

Alhamdulillah, we have collected the documents needed for our house loan from the State Land Office PJ, early today. We are so grateful to the 'Pentadbir Tanah of PJ' kerana mempercepatkan proses meluluskan kebenaran memindah milik dan Menggadai. Alhamdulillah. Syukur. We then drove straight to Putrajaya to submit the documents.  I was a bit frustrated tho because the Officer who was supposed to prepare the 'surat lulus pinjaman' was on leave. They asked us to come tomorrow (today) instead. So, hopefully things will turn out smoothly for us this time around. InsyaAllah.

Next time, you must do a thorough homework when buying a house. Especially, when buying a second hand house instead of the developer. Banyak issues. Serious. Haih. Learnt my lesson. But, I won't give up. That's the spirit, kan? huhu.

Anyways, something happened on our way back from Putrajaya. hahaha.. makes me laugh when i think of it. My husband, he's a very particular person and lives by the same routine, everyday. Antaranya la kan (I must not share everything, though) he will always make sure that there's enough credit in his Touch N Go card. He uses the Smart Tag day in day out. He condemns those who do not want to invest in the Smart Tag because queuing is a sheer waste of time, he said. True enough. But, I was the last one to drive his car during the weekends. He had less than RM 10 in his Touch n Go card. When we exited into Putrajaya, he had RM3 to be exact.

On our way back, I said to him 'Masuk je la Smart Tag, nanti top up kat KD'. He refused. He took the ticket instead. Putrajaya to KD, xde la jauh sangat. Very straightfoward journey. But, he decided to re-fuel at Damansara. And I don't know what happened. By the time we were about to reach KD, I asked him for the ticket. And then the Drama!! 

He lost the tix!! Siap benti tepi jalan. Made me call the petrol station and at the same time searched for in the car, hi and lo. Habis semua punggah. Siap suruh susun semua receipt2 dia. hahaha. After 10 minutes of searching, he gave up. And you know, we had to pay RM 47.50!!! Itu serupa pegi JB, kan? Haih.. Gilo gilo! Muncung kejap my husband and termenung after that. hihii.. memang bukan rezeki la duit tu, coz the petrol pump staff called us back saying that they couldn't find it. But I am sure the thing tercicir kat petrol pump tu. ahahhaa. Poor husband.

Belum habis lagi....

Then we went to Giant, to renew our driving Licence. And, suddenly he opened my bag and mengorek2. 'what are you doing' I asked. He replied 'Cari tiket. Mana tau Ya tersimpan dalam bag ke.' I laughed immediately. Kalau la tiket tu ada dalam my hangbag, memang aku kena lecture 3 hari 3 malam. hahaha. I replied 'Saje je la tu, nak cari benda nak kenakan orang' and he laughed. my darling husband...

okla, nnt sambung lagi. gotta go! ciao

Hamza at 5 months

I am on leave today... Why? Hamza had his 5th month immunisation jab yerterday. I will usually stay in incase his temperature shoots up. So, that explains why. But Alhamdulillah, as until now, hamza is as active as ever. No muscle pain at the injection site, and no low-grade fever. Syukur. The previous jab was painful i know because he cried the whole evening, and i couldn't even touch his right leg. Sengal. He'd cry everytime we try to cuddle him, lift him up or when we try to put him down. It's so heart-wrenching. But it lasted for 1 day only. He got better the next day but with a low-grade temperature. Sian anak aku. But i am glad the nurse was more gentle with him this time.

At 5 months 8 days, Hamza now weighs 7.3 kg, and is 70cm long from head to toe. His head circumfeence is 42cm. Basically, he's growing well. Alhamdulillah. And still feeding on my milk. But at 5 months, he drinks 7 onz of EBM. Banyak!! So i've started him on solid. I had  no choice, but he too loves it to bits. I started him with apple puree. Now, we feed him rice [brand nestle tu] during the day. otherwise, it'll be a nightmare for me. Hamza is one baby with huge appetite and huge tummy as well. huhu. [anak baba la katakan]

Owh.. i want to share this incident that took place while i was in the room waiting for the nurse to check on Hamza. My son has a small white patch near the corner of his right eye. So, i requested to see the doctor. the patch looks to me like fungal infection. So yeah, i just wanted to confirm that it is fungal. The nurse took us to the doctor. baik hati dia. then she started the conversation..

nurse: awak kerja hospital bahagian apa?

me: Farmasi.

nurse: ooo. patutla awak tanya pasal anak awak. ubat dah tau la ni.

me: haah. saya nak confirm diagnosis je. 

nurse: awak pegawai kat Fever Center ke?

me: tak. tapi semua pegawai rotate kerja kat fever center. 

nurse: tu la.. ni nak cerita ni. maybe farmasi terlepas pandang kan? [aku dah apehal nurse nih?] 

           kebetulan smalam, doctor sendiri pegi amek ubat dari farmasi. dia datang kat kami tunjuk 

           ubat. doktor kata "tengok!farmasi bagi ubat dah 'expired'! ada ke?" 

me: [terkejut!] ye ke? staff nurse tau ubat apa?

nurse: tak tau pulak ubat apa. tapi memang dah 'expired' pon. doctor sendiri tunjuk kat kami ubat 

           tu. dia tulis 12/09. kan?

me: doctor pulang balik x pada farmasi? mintak ubat baru?

nurse: kami ada offer nak pergi balik pada farmasi. doctor xnak. itu lah. mungkin farmasi terlepas

           pandang atau pon farmasi nak habiskan stok. ye la, ubat batuk kan semua orang makan.

me: eh, xkan la kitorg nak bagi ubat yang dah nak expired. lainkali, pergi bagitau pegawai farmasi 

       tu. Janganla biar je. bagitau, supaya kami tau salah kami.

Bengang kejap! i mean, come on. How could the doctor? Went to the nurses, show to them our mistake and not tell us?! Apa masalah dia? Bagitau je la. Inform. Saje je nak mencari salah orang! I called up the staff incharge immediately and told her. She was definitely shocked to hear about the incident. And when checked, memang dah nak expired. I said to her, memang it is our mistake. negligence i shall call it. But does it hurt to tell us that the drug is nearing to its expiry date? does it? Maybe it does kan? Haiyooo..

On the contrary, after complaining about us not doing our job, she too didn't do hers well. She didn't even ask me about Hamza's development as accoding to the check-up book. All the other nurses asked me except this one. All she did was, gossip [it was more like a gossip than a complaint] and tulis-tulis dalam buku. tak tanya tak apa. aduih haih. 

Oklah, hamza dah menjerit-jerit! Got to go.

mahal

 Duit-duit

I was reading Hanis' blog about what to expect when being new parents and it hit me that it is expensive not only to have a child/children, but to live our daily life. It is true. Now that we're already parents, we too feel the heat. We spend alot on him. From the time before he was born, up until now, there's always things we need to buy for him. It is really a blessing from Allah that i get to breastfeed him exclusively until now. On top of that, my mother has been very kind for volunteering to look after Hamza when i am at work. So, we save alot for formula and nursery. Alhamdulillah, Hamza xde nappy rash and his skin pon bukan sensitive skin. So, xde la banyak sangat nak spend on Nappy.

Baby clothes in Malaysia is SUPER expensive. a pair of tshirt and shorts at Baby K*iko is, at least RM25. A tshirt at Baby Po*ney is RM 25 (that is after discount). A*nakku is not cheap either. 1 pants is RM10. then u need to buy the top. Another RM10. That is already RM20. If you are into designer brands, i am sure it is  double or triple or more than what i have mentioned. I am just saying on general basis. Itu baru baju. What about their learning stuff. Books, toys, etc? itu baru baby.

I was in the UK last April to visit some family members there. Baby clothes are cheap. Damn cheap. I am talking about relative comparison. I bought a pack of 8 baby romper from M&S for 8GBP. Convert it back to RM, it was only RM 40 (then it was RM5/GBP). T-shirt from Next, was only 3GBP. And then, u get shops like TK Maxx, that sells branded goods at a very cheap price. In the UK, xpayah la designer brand ni. Baju- baju in the hypermarkets, brand George/TU baru 2GBP. Kain cantik, design lawa. Ala-ala Mothercare gitu infact sama quality dengan Mothercare. and memang all intent and purpose to compete with brand-brand mahal. but murah-murah jer. H&M pon, bukan mahal sangat. Semua adalah affordable. Kalau u all pergi pon, pasti meroyan. We got Our Chicco baby sling for only 15GBP. Thats only what? RM75, as compared to RM200 in Malaysia. And they earn similar to us. A doctor earns 3000++ GBP. A junior engineer earns 1800++ GBP. Sama la kan?

But it is a total opposite in Malaysia. A*nakku was supposed to compete with these imported brands. and they should sell it cheap. but nope. a sleepsuit is RM29.90. Mothercare sells baby sleepsuit at RM100++ for 3pieces. i'd definitely buy from Mothercare. Designwise, material wise, betul? Kadang-kadang, when i think of it, Malaysians ni kaya-raya terpaksa sebab we have to afford all these things. Kalau nak yang murah, beli baju pasar malam la. Kain yang xserap peluh, and things like that. true? not true? Malaysia is still home for me. Hujan emas dinegeri orang pon. But u know, sometimes it makes me wonder, why.. Just why.

Kalau la duit tumbuh atas pokok??

Itu lah, tapi i guess, we are so used to it. Fikir banyak-banyak pon buat pening kepala dak? Husband and I have already set up a fund for Hamza for his future. Jadi, for me.. i'll spend accordingly, based on our affordability. Xtau la apa yang aku dah bebelkan.

sekian sahaja.

I couldnt believe that my boss wouldnt do anything about it! Damn Her and her!! I am so freaking frustrated with the way we are being managed.

Good mode on**

I am on leave for a month... Yes, it feels so good to stay home with this little Simba. At least i get to breastfeed him throughout the day. And i know he's a happy boy. The only thing that worries me is this little simba refuse to be put to sleep. He wants to sleep on me. Looks like i have to be strict about his nap- time and bed time. Hep! anak mama ni..

End of Good Mode***
