Our Bundle of Joy :)

Hello! Sorry it took me a while to update this blog. Thanks for the well wishes and prayers. I am getting well day by day, slowly, but surely. Daughter is doing fine too. Her big sister is adjusting herself having to share the attention of the parents with the new addition to the family. I noticed that she’s clingy now, and envies her sister a lot. Poor girl. :)

Alhamdulillah, despite having to endure 31 hrs of labor pain, and with few unsuccessful attempts for epidural, I have safely delivered my daughter on Jan, 14th at 1.26 a.m. Normal delivery at 9 cm dilation. Crazy kan? It’s painful compared to c-sect, but very rewarding. I feel more connected with my second daughter.

I guess what keeps me going during the whole process is I kept reminding myself what I felt for the past 2 days was nothing close to the sufferings of the children in the Gaza city. Some have lost their parents and siblings, and got injured badly. Imagine, not being able to walk as they have lost their legs, or unable to feed themselves. Few survived the bombings and attacks; some died or disappeared without a trace.

Anyway, here she is…

Oh yeah, her name is Noorul Syafiqah, and weighs 3.1 kg, less 2 kgs than her sister. She's up already, gtg.. but before that, I have a confession to make..... euuwww, sungguh kekoknya saya mau pegang baby kecik2 nih...he he..

While Waiting

Baru tadi Ma call dan bagitau mereka on the way ke airport, untuk hantar Angah & wifey. Asyik honeymoon jak adikku itu, jeles nya! :) Oh yeah, mungkin ramai yg tidak tau yg aku nih beripar duai dgn si noremah. Ya, lecturer mechanical nun di row kak maz tuh. My bro got married to her sister, so apa kiranya hubungan kami tuh ya. Biras ka?? Such a small world kan. :)

Bila baca diari student ums cum artist nih, terasa kagum pula dgn dia. Tentang kesibukan dan bijak membahagikan masa. Humble wpon sudah jadi terkenal. Masih tau utk menggembirakan diri walau stress mana pon life nih. Dan mata itu, bisa buat mamat2 motor terbabas nih di roundabout depan dewan canselor tuh. He he

Halfway reading the textbook, I lost interest. Damn, esok ada kelas. Mesti study juga. Walau sudah byk kali ajar subjek nih, strangely, every semester akan gelabah juga study macam sendiri mau exam :).

6.45 p.m. and still in the office waiting for hubby. Kemarin pon sama. Bila balik, baru sedar yg aku sorang2 ja sebenarnya di blok nih semua dah balik. Takut? Sikit2 tuh ada juga. Ops... takut byk kot, takut tiba2 mau terberanak pulak. Naya ka tidak kalau sorang2 di ofis malam2 nih. Oh hubby cepatla ok. I cant blame him though. Mungkin hubby tgh buat assignment or group discussion dia tuh. Last week, dah start pon kuliah masters dia. Sempat lagi tnya dgn aku patut dia teruskan atau tidak. Huiks. First week dah tnya gitu. Penat, he said. So I told him, kena kuat semangat ok kalau buat part time nih. Caiyok2..

So since hubby dah start jadi student, aku lagi la teruja mau jadi student balik. I miss studying. Tapi kalau dua2 jadi student bulehka kami. Kalau makbapak dah pegi sekolah, anak macam mana pula...Hmm.. macam dah terbayang2 that, I'll probably have to leave my 2 daughters disini with hubby, and jadi bujang di sana. Shessshh.... How la?.. Buleh ka aku nih.

Cakap pasal beranak, kalau ikut perkiraan doktor, lagi 2 hari. Ntahla, she herself is rather confused sbb ada lagi bagi satu date lain which is lagi 2 weeks. Macam nih pon ada ka. Heran juga. Just wait and see I guess. Tapi yg pasti, I cant wait. Seriously. Tadi breakfast dgn Murni and Sariah, bila tgk dorang yg slim tuh, tiba2 terpikir, buleh ka nanti slim mcm tuh and pakai baju2 dlm almari tuh semua balik. He he... Bulih bah tu kan.. Kena psiko diri sendiri. :)

Hmm..now that hubby needs to study and rest at night, the sleeping shift we have arranged earlier has been changed. My daughter still sleeps at 1 or 2 am on daily basis. Kadang2 sambil tgu dia tidur tuh, layan cerita nih dgn Ma. Sampai dekat mau terberanak nih pon, belum tau lagi bila la minah nih mau kawin sama si Rado. Fenin!!!!!!

I'm Back

Sorry for the long absence. The internet connection at home sucks big time. That blue company is fooling around with us maybe. But its okay, as surprisingly, I survived the internet-free holiday.

It was indeed one of the longest break I took last year. Pretending to be sahm for the past 2 weeks. Tiring, but fun! fun! fun! I cooked, took extra time playing with daughter, did spring cleaning of our room, and also found out that being a tv-holic is fun too. Guess what, I also managed to watch the dvds that I bought 6 mths ago. I was enjoying myself so much that I cracked up a joke to hubby about wanting to quit my job and be a full time housewife. Hubby took the longest pause in his life before finally saying yes. Ha ha. Well, that is of course just plain talk or wishful thinking. Definitely not going to happen anytime soon, unless hubby landed himself a big jackpot enough to cater until our 6th generation than perhaps that would be a different story altogether.

So until then, I just had to drag my lazy butt to work today. Hmmm... but sadly, work progress has been on a snail pace as of now. Still in holiday mode perhaps. But I do need to plan for so many things before I go for my maternity leave, which is very very soon. I guess in my life, I just worry so much about things, and like to plan for everything that I do, and that keeps my head so clogged. Maybe for 2009, I just need to laid back a bit, learn to relax, while at the same time I am still able to achieve my dreams. I have to learn to work smart and learn to enjoy life. Smile and laugh once in a while. Time to put on the happy hat.

2 weeks, and many things have happened at the workplace. Another colleague leaving. In the span of 2-3 years many friends have left this place. Strange at first, but seriously nothing wrong with exploring other opportunities. Kan? Talk about opportunities, I dont know if anyone is aware about this. But, seriously, I am seeing new trend at my cowboy town. People are drawn to this new business ventures. Shall I call it a business or what? You are able to gain the paycheck you used to get in one year, but in a much shorter time say 5 weeks by venturing into the so-called business. Weird, but this is true, most of my close relatives have join this new phenomenon and surprisingly they make huge profit out of it. Now, pensioners in my kampung earn more than I do. As a matter of fact, I can never get that much of kah-ching that they get even if I work day and night here until the day I retired. Interesting huh?

Maybe I just need to check on the notes, and re-arrange the lab schedule and find a demo as of today. Have a nice weekend uols! Oh yeah, hope its not too late to wish Selamat Tahun Baru to everyone :)
