pullman putrajaya getaway....

























dear hubby had promised us for a getaway after my exam...he booked a night stay in pullman putrajaya before my exam result was out....so, i guess if i didn't make through it, i won't be enjoying my stay at pullman...alhamdulillah, i got through it and i really enjoyed myself with my beloved family at pullman....


the place was superb and marvellous exteriorly and interiorly....our room was cosy and spacious enough for Imtiaz to crawl all over...


the kids really enjoyed themselves at the pool...it's Imtiaz's first experience and he loved splashing the water....


we had good dinner along with my friend, Dahlia...she helped me in the exam by giving a one-to-one tutorial in obstetrics and gynaecology....


we got a good bargain for this stay...thumbs up to pullman....

humpty dumpty sat on the wall, little imti had a great fall...


well, the title of this entry tells it all....i blamed myself for it...lucky he was a strong boy...here's the story goes....




it was a week after my exam...i've cleared all the book from
my bed...put little Imti to sleep and i slept beside him...when he's up in the
middle of the night for milk, i would move myself to his left or right to get
him to my breast alternately...


the last feed was at 5 am...he sucked well and i dozed back
to sleep...i thought he was awake...he kicked my back but didn't make a sound
(usually he would make noisy babbles and squeak when he woke up)...


and then, BAM!!!! a loud thudding sound followed by a loud
cry...dear hubby saw my little Imti on the floor with his face down....my baby
fell from the bed....!!! he cried so loudly for about 10-15 min....and then i
saw blood mixed with his mucus from his nose...minimal but enough to tell you
his fall with face down had given a trauma to his nose...no other bleeders were
seen....


we managed to put him back to sleep and he slept for 2
hours....he woke up with a smiley face as if nothing happened...he was well
throughout the day apart from the swollen nose...i was assured there was no
broken nose bridge...no vomiting or cranky behaviour...alhamdulillah....


from that moment on, the parents learnt their lesson....we
made sure that the edge of the bed was well protected to avoid him from falling
again...


we didn't experience such fall with Jihan because the 3 of us
slept on the matress on the floor when she was small....

alhamdulillah...


it has been a while and now i'm back...yes, i was struggling with my exam, Part 1 Master of Medicine (Family Medicine), which was held last week in PPUKM....it was a scary and terrifying experience...the last time i had a major exam was 4 years ago...so, the feeling was so intense and i was so nervous...


my life was a torture...books were everywhere...the kids had to be managed b my dear hubby and my parents....i came in action only to breastfeed Imtiaz...i was down with a very bad fever 3 weeks before the exam..Imtiaz got it too and my life was a disaster....the fever settled after 5 days with the initiation of antibiotics....i gained back the strength to continue from where i left...at times i felt like giving up but Allah gave me the strength to carry on....Allah sent me friends to help me with my studies and that really helps...


i prayed to Allah to give me strength to face the exam and to give me and my friends success in the exam...i want to pass this exam very badly because i do not want to undergo the same stress again in another 6 months...i do not want to leave my children with improper attention from their mama again...i need to move on to the next level to accomplish my dreams...


during the exam days, i wasn't sure of my destiny....i left it all to Allah as He knows what is best for me...


waiting for the results was the longest 2 days of my life...i lost 1 kg in 2 days, i couldn't sleep and i was screaming in my sleep...


dear hubby had promised the kids to go for a short breakaway after i finished the exam...Jihan especially was so excited to go for splash in the swimming pool...on Friday afternoon, i went to get a swim suit for little Imtiaz....it was at the carpark i got a sms form my lecturer that the result was ready....i called her feeling shaky and trembling throughout....when she told me that i passed the exam, i was so relief and alhamdulillah, Allah granted my prayer...


i thank Allah for His mercy and blessing to me and my family...i thank my dear hubby for giving me the support and for taking care of the kids, my parents and my maid for taking care of everything else, my friends and lecturers for their supports, help and guidance...


and i did enjoy my 1 night stay at Pullman Putrajaya with my family....
