handicapped

it has been 5 days since my laptop and streamyx were out of function...both me and hubby were at lost....we feel so handicapped without them...we cannot look for new materials pertaining to our fields and worst most we cannot update our blogs, fotopages and flickr...!

and this week i had to do a presentation and i cannot prepare them at home...so i got to search for the materials at work and prepere the presentation using my computer in my clinic room...luckily this week there were not many patients, so i got to complete my task in time...

me and hubby went to IT World at Midvalley yesterday, hunting for a new PC...we decided to buy a new desktop while waiting for our good'ol laptop to be repaired...(my dad will bring it to Low Yat for repair..)...we bought a new Dell but it will delivered at least in 1 week time (the latest by 2 weeks!)

we can't wait for the arrival of our new PC and the arrival of our new Streamyx...(we have yet to call the Streamyx man for replacement...wait for the PC to arrive first)

and it's a few more days to our anniversary...looking forward to it! yeah!

Break...

my laptop and my streamyx were strucked by lightning yesterday...so, i'm unable to update this blogs until the problems are resolved...so sad.....

haircut @ cheeky monkey

Jihan had her recent haircut @ cheeky monkey....but before that, i had to bribe her by bringing her to paly at the Kidz Sports & Gym and she played there for almost 1 1/2 hour...

she really enjoyed playing there...when it's time to cut her hair, she behaved very well and sat quitely and let her hairdresser did his work....

the place is very child friendly with lots of toys to make the children fully occupied when the hairdresser does his work....but it was a bit pricey though....i think it was worth it...Jihan likes her new look so much!

the runaway maid...

i think i have not written about our 1st maid who ran away after my confinement when she just only worked for us for about 1 month!

this is how it goes...

i was oncall on tuesday, 6/9/05...it wasn't a bad call...i had only 3 patients in the labour room that i had to review...so, i managed to sleep around 2 hours that night...so, my dear Jihan stayed with her papa as usual....both my parents were outstation....my maid was at home too...i was actively breastfeeding at that time so, my husband had to pick my expresssed breastmilk for Jihan at night to give to her the next morning...

the next morning, my husband left to work leaving the baby in the care of our maid like usual..nothing suspicious happened except that my husband said she didnt cook breakfast that morning...well, that's fine...my husband usually have his breakfast at the hospital anyway...i was already in the hospital because of my oncall...

so, i did my work....then at around 10.30am, being post call, i was so sleepy with throbbing headache...so i told my colleague that i want to have a nap at the prayer area in the ward....i woke up half an hour later...and i reusmed my ward work while waiting for lunch...

suddenly my hubby called at around 11.20...he said, "i'm going back for a while...S (the maid) had runaway..!!"

at first i didn't realize what actually had happened...probably i was drowsy...i told my husband to go home...after a while, i realized that something had actually happened...i called my husband back and we met downstairs and rushed to the carpark...

at the same time i realized that i actually received an SMS from an unknown number saying that S doesn't want to work anymore and asked us to come home as nobody is taking care of my Jihan....i contacted that number and it was an Indon man who answered the call claimed to be S's friend...he told me that he didn't know where S went but told me that S doesn't want to work anymore...

my husband drove quite fast...luckily our house was just about 15-20 min drive form the hospital....i cried in the car worried about my 3 months old baby...my dad who was outstationed in PD called and was on his way back too...he also received the same SMS...he already called the police and informed our neighbour...

we arrived home and found that our gate was closed..the inside door was closed but not locked and the grill was opened...i opened the door and found my dear Jihan was asleep on her matress with an empty bottle at her side...i straight away cuddled her and cried and she woke up when she heard me crying...

my useless maid had run away leaving my poor baby alone at home!!!

the police came and my dad arrived soon after..we found a note from my runaway maid telling us that she is sorry...at first we didn't realize of anything missing but she took away her passport from a locked locker upstairs....she probably had planned this and maybe she knew where we kept her passport and she just waited for this opportunity to make her move...

she left Jihan unattended for God knows how many minutes or hours, well fed, with the aircond and TV on, so that Jihan would feel comfortable....my dad called my mum who was having a course in Genting, telling her the story...she cried on the phone and couldn't think straight anymore and my dad went to pick her up later...

my husband took a half day leave and changed his oncall that night...i went back to the hospital later to finish up my work....

alhamdulillah nothing happened to my baby....i couldn't imagine what will happen to me if the opposite happened...we got a replacement maid later and that was another headache...but she stayed with us for 1 1/2 years...

now i had a new maid, who worked with us for almost a year...she seems pleasant and a good worker....

sometimes, it's the luck....we only have to pray for the best in every decision we made...let Allah do the rest...

Akademi Fantasia Fever....

yeah, the fever is back!!!! i was a fan of Akademi Fantasia of many seasons before but nowadays the X-factor from the show seems to be missing....and i only watch the weekly concerts to fulfill my weekend nights....

and now my Jihan loves watching the show including the Diari AF and the weekly concert....i think i know why...

my dear Jihan was born on 24th June 2005, which was on Friday night...i was supposed to be warded routinely post delivery for at least 24 hours before being discharged home...at that time, Astro was airing the Akademi Fantasia season 3 and i was looking forward to watch the weekly concert on Saturday...luckily my room at the UKMSC had Astro Ria, so i'm not going to miss the show...

lucky for both mama and baby, we were discharged at 6pm on Saturday, meaning that, we were able to watch the show comfortably at home!!!

during confinement, i was stucked upstairs watching TV besides taking care of my newborn so both of us were closely attached to the show very much....

and since then, every year Jihan has a soft spot for this show...she likes the show so much and she is able to sing and dance to the theme song....previously, Jihan watched the show because Aznil was there....and now she watches the show because she loves music...and she misses Aznil, i supposed....and she is an admirer of any Aznil's shows because he's kind of good making my Jihan and many other children entertained....!

weekend getaway....

at last, a getaway that we have been waiting for....we didn't go far....it's only here @ Cyberview Lodge Resort and Spa....we got a very good deal for a 2 days 1 night stay and it is a real GOOD deal!

we checked in @ 3pm, went to our chalet, a very spacious and comfortable room indeed...Jihan loved it very much and she called it "rumah Jihan"...

then i left Jihan and her papa as i went to pamper and treat myself for a spa experience at the Sembunyi Spa....a truly 2 hours++ pampering experience which began with a steam bath and a jacuzzi dip, followed by a massage, body scrub, body wrap and body mask....i was fully relaxed and was enjoying every moment to myself....it was worth the ringgit spent...!

at the same time Jihan and papa explored the whole resort and got really nice shots captured on his Nikon....

later we had a la carte dinner and had a good night sleep on our cosy beds....

we got up early in the morning as Jihan cannot wait to dip herself in the pool...we had a light breakfast and got straight to the pool after that...we really enjoyed ourselves in the pool....

we spent almost 2 hours in the pool....then it's time to pack and leave....

overall, we love this place so much....we'll definitely to come here again to just relax in a serene environment and enjoy the facilities and services offered....

will upload the photos @ our fotopages

down with illness....

i was to busy for the past week, so i have to put a backdated entry here...

Jihan was down with a bad cough 2 days ago...she coughed every now and then she was feeling so low...she possibly had a bad sorethroat as well and she soothed her throat by drinking a lot of water...

we gave her appropriate medications and she slept well that night...

the next morning, i brought her to see my friend who is a paediatrician to get a second opinion and he told me that Jihan's cough was nothing sinister....

Jihan is recuperating well and is more talkative and active than ever...our home was in a total silent when she was sick....i'm glad that she is over with it....
