Lepak di Penang

 During the school holiday last week, we didn't go anywhere for the hols. Malas nak bersesak dengan orang yg ramai. Lagipun masa schools hols berganda le hotel rate. So, when Ila & family came over with my parents, diorang pun plan le nak pegi lepak Gunung Jerai. Tp tulah, rate hotel mmg steep le, so they decided to go to Batu Feringghi after spending a night at our house. Ni kira double celebration for her. Her birthday & celebrate nak tambah another family member.

 We joined them the next day coz Friday tu Hubby keje le pulak. So, on Saturday we met Ila at Paradise Sandy Beach where they were staying. I pernah stay kat situ dulu. The deluxe room mmg spacious. Sesuai utk family. PSB ni kat Tanjung Bungah just before Batu Feringghi. Tp beach kat sini sama je dgn kat Bt Feringghi. Sempat le the princesses mandi manda kat swimming pool kat PSB. After check-out kitaorang lunch kat Bayan Lepas. Tak ingat nama kedai tu. Just tau bawah pokok ceri je. Diorang jugak called it restoran 'mulut besar'..hehe  coz the waiter is loud. Jerit je order..

 Lepas kenyang, we went to Aquarium. Tp still under renovation. Ikan pun tak banyak. The last time we went, lagi byk ikan. So, lepak kejap jela. By 4 pm tu dah balik coz Ila nak kena balik Kedah pulak.

No Spring Please..

 Pagi tadi Adik bangun je nampak my new haircut. Terus dia puji & cakap she wanted the same hairstyle. ( Not that I have a vogue hairstyle..:D). I cakap le rambut dia dah pendek ( Actually rambut dia dah panjang, tapi sbb curly nampak macam pendek la ) & cantik macam spring. She then said kat school boys tak de spring, girls pun tak de spring. In other words, kat kindy dia, dia sorang je rambut curly. May be she felt different. Bebudak ni biasa le tak nak different dr org lain. Beriya2 Adik tak mo rambut spring. Nasib le dia tak tau rebonding lagi..:-). Kalau tak, maunya dikerahnya I ke salon buat rebonding..

 Hubby said that when he was a kid, he hated his hair too. He used to put a lot of hair oil to flatten his curly hair. I told him not to give this idea to Adik. Nanti habis dikerjanya Sunsilk leave- on tu sebotol sehari. Parah..

I love her hair in this photo.

Her latest photo at Tanjung Dawai. Masa ni rambut dia messy sikit..

I can't remember which recipe I used..;-( Tapi rasanya kat sini.

The Day She Lost 3kg

 This week minggu sakit le pulak. Started with Adik. She had diarrhea. Lepas tu berjangkit kat Baby. Bila diorang dah okay, Alysa got infected too. Siap dgn fever, vomitting & diarrhoea. Tak lalu makan. Susu pun tanak minum.

 Wednesday baru2 ni, masa I temankan Hubby pegi follow up kat hospital to take out the stent, I got a call from Alysa's kindy. The teacher said she almost fainted. Mmg kelam kabut le I. Dah le masa tu Hubby baru je masuk procedure room. Terus tinggalkan Hubby, pecut pegi ke kindy. After ambik dia & bawak ke klinik, looked like she was okay. Fever pun dah ok. Bowel movements not so good. Yelah still cirit & muntah. I guess dia nak pitam sbb hypo sama kut. Tak nak makan sbb takut muntah & no appetite.

 After a few days of no appetite, yesterday masa timbang dia, she lost 3kg! From 27kg to 24kg. Perut pun kempis je. Badan dah nampak panjang le pulak..:-) Mmg le I nak dia kurus sikit, tapi bila dia tak nak makan, risau le pulak.Well, I guess she'll be back to her normal self bila dah baik dari cirit nanti.

 A couple days ago I pulak yg berjangkit dgn the princesses. Tp bila asyik sakit kat upper right of my abdomen, Hubby ajak pegi scan kat specialist. Gallstones le pulak. The Dr is so nice and talkative. Ended up over 1 hour doing scan & consultation. Lepas tu FOC pulak tu. Tp this week masa we all sakit, the various drs that we saw mmg tak charge pun. Thanks to all the doctors..

Alysa..After 3kg lost. Rasanya still tembam.

Adik. The pretty phase..

Baby. Princess phase..

Busy week

 This week mmg busy. On monday, Hubby was warded at KPJ Specialist Hospital. Pagi tu dia siap boleh p kerja lg eventhough ada le symptoms. Masa tgh kerja, sakit le pulak. Diorang offered nak jab, dia pulak tanak. ( Takut jab actually..:-) ). So, telan je ubat. Tp of course le kureng berkesan. On the way balik kerja, he called me ajak terus ke hospital coz tgh sakit. I plk tgh sibuk kat tmpat kerja. So, kelam kabut le settlekan apa2 yang patut. Be4 pegi this hospital, dia dah survey which hospital he wanted to go. So, he called his friend ( also his namesake ) who's working there to inform the specialist that he was on the way.

 Sampai je terus ke A & E. Tak tunggu lama pun terus specialist datang wat scan. Later the specialist told he emphatised with Hubby coz he had the same experience before. So, tau le sakit camne..;-). Lepas tu kena warded. Dia cuma cakap the next day nak buat another scan. Tp the next day tu rupa2nya dia nak operate le pulak. Tp Hubby dah tak dibagitau, ambik breakfast. Kena le puasa lepas tu. The operation was done at 3pm under GA. Lepas dia masuk OT, I terus balik rumah nak amik the princesses. Sampai kat hospital after 5pm, Hubby baru je disorong masuk bilik. Kena pulak inj pethidine. Terus tertidur tengah2 cakap.. We waited for him to wake up before we went home at 8pm. He was discharged the next day on wednesday. The thing that they took out from him during the operation was sent to Melbourne for analysis.

 Meanwhile, Alysa & Ayra kena pegi kindy with K.Liza. When I told them they had to go to school with Amirul, our next door neighbour, Alysa dah nangis nak jugak Papa hantar. I had to explain to her that papa was hospitalised. But, she was worried Amirul's father would forget to waith for them that morning. Macam2 le bebudak ni..

 Until today we still had visitors coming to visit Hubby. Tapi orang yang 'sakit' tu dah berjalan merata2. Siap pegi shopping at 2 shopping complexes lg hari ni..:-)

@ the ward. Waiting for papa to wake up

Alysa's 6th Birthday

 Alysa turned 6 last thursday. That Thursday we just bought her a small cake and a present. Buat syarat je, coz she'd be celebrating the next day. She had a birthday celebration at kindy for those whose birthdays are in February. I made her a cake to be brought to school. Will share the recipe later. Petang Jumaat tu balik celebrate kat Jitra. Made a cheese cake for her. 
 To my dear Alysa, 'Happy 6th birthday'. May you turn to be a beautiful person in and out. At 6 years old, you have blossomed into a bubbly girl. You self-taught yourself to read thru your computer, very diligently asking me questions if you didn't know the words, which sometimes drive me crazy..:-). Kadang2 cakap macam adults, so, when you cried because of trivial disputes with Adik, I have to remind myself that you are only 5 years old ( then..). So tak de le mama jadi Tarzan to both of you.

My baby is 6
