While the mama was away...

The situation:
>> The mama had to attend a retreat in PD from Friday morning till Sunday afternoon (3d 2n).
>> Could not bring along the child as the schedule was full till 10.30pm.
>> The papa could not get the room for that weekend (cuti sekolah da)
>> The child never sleep without her mama.
>> The household chores will be left undone.

The result :
1) The papa has passed with flying colors. Bravo! Good job! He was not only taking care of the child, but doing the chores too..suprise!=)muahh!
2) And of course, the mama had a lot of fun with her frens!=)

The papa's tricks:
1) Sleep til noon.
2) Go to McDonald's, Pizza dan sewaktu dengannya, for lunch and dinner.
3) Bring the child to the park or mall's playground...main sampai penat.
4) If step 3 you do with your full heart, the child will fall asleep easily.

Ok..Selamat mencuba & all the best, frens!

Keeping my romance alive after Husna arrives

I read babycenter occasionally though the site provides so much info and tips. This whole week was my midterm break so I have ‘sedikit’ time for reading. I would like to share with all mamas and mamas-to-be out there.

The topic is about "Keeping romance alive after kids arrive".

According to their survey, there are many couples worried about how it would impact our love and sex life after having kid(s). Ya that’s true, including us. Alhamdulilah, we manage to maintain the romance (rasanya) although it is difficult in the beginning. Here are the tips/ideas that I pernah buat which are also recommended by the readers of babycenter.com.

1. Flirting and cyber flirting
Yup… amat mudah sekali nak flirting dgn husband yang sememangnya mengadap computer almost 15 hours per day. This trick is really working for me. It is the alternative way to express my feeling - to tell him how much I miss him (chewah) and marah jugak:p I feel like in love again if I’ve got his 'email cinta'. Ohh bab ni Amran mcm dah lupa and tak buat lagi (huhu), anyway YM pun oklah! Kepada couples yang buta IT tiada internet connection, bolehlah mencuba 1 lagi trick iaitu SMS, or a note (like post-it note), where you can put in his briefcase or mana2 lah yang boleh dia nampak. Make sure it short, simple and sweet. "Sayang, tolong buang sampah" <-- ini tak termasuk ok!

2. Shower power
Hah tips ni memang dicadangkan juga oleh Dato’ Dr Hj Mohd Fadzilah Kamsah dalam one of his CD iaitu mandi bersama. Itu sebab perlu memasang air panas kat rumah. Waktu yang sesuai hanya waktu malam iaitu selepas anak dah tido. I quoted one of the parents say “Our troubles and fears go 'down the drain,' and it lets us slow down, relax, and enjoy each other." – I agreed!

3. At-home dating
For me this is hard to do. Tapi bagus juga..where you plan only two of you in the house, ponteng kerja take leave, masak together ke, put candles in the room or watching romantic movie. Anyway, kepada yang biasa masak2 untuk suami and anak2 nya, tips ni boleh diabaikan - boring!

4. Leisurely lunch date or watch movie
I like this idea, in fact we have been doing it for several times during weekdays. Tak kisah la walaupun makan kat JJ aje (wink) and like 1 hour only but the quality time is precious. The feeling of getting together makes me feel like falling-in-love again..wah! Masa ni lah boleh pegang2 tangan ke, suap makanan ke, main gosok2 kaki ke...yelah kan, dulu masa bercinta tak boleh buat, dah berkahwin taknak pulak buat!

5. Frisky business
"My husband and I get a babysitter and plan a date — but not a typical, married-couple kind of date. He goes somewhere else to get ready, we meet at an agreed-upon place, and we act as if we've just met. Sometimes we pretend to be someone else. Last time, I was a doctor and he was a policeman."— Anonymous (babycenter.com's reader)>> I also like this idea...belum cuba lagi, but I guess it would be fun:)

6. Little things that count
My frens (and for my sayang too), bila kita dah berkahwin and dah ada anak, these little things (we thought as little things) actually really count and vital to keep our passionate feeling grows and alive.
# Going to bed at the same time - where we can have 'pillow talk' (activity selepas itu, ikut korang la ye;)
#Saying 'thank-you' and 'maaf' to your partner every night unconditionally
# Peluk/kissing each other without reason
# Solat berjemaah and he recites doa loudly saying about his love, hope and care about us..

Untuk menambahkan ilmu lagi , you may buy CD of Dato' Dr. Fadzilah, tajuknya "Semarakkan rasa cinta selepas berkahwin", kat Petronas Mesra pun ada, tak mahal;)

Ok frens, selamat bercinta and jatuh cinta semula! I love you, sayang!

Selamat ke Rahmatullah

Semalam, 10 July jam 3.10am, Mak We menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya di rumah kediamannya-just like what she always wanted. Ayah, Ibu Jah dan Mak Chu menemaninya ketika saat-saat akhir. Aku dan lain2 tiada rezeki menemankannya ketika itu. Muaz, Ayah Su Shafiq dan Nadirah mungkin lagi sedih kerana tidak sempat menatap wajah tenang Mak We. Apabila mereka sampai, Mak We sudah pun dikebumikan.


According to Ayah & Ibu Jah, she went peacefully and easily. Her face just like before she got her stroke. I am glad she left not because of having heart attack or seizure as she had a few times while she was in the hospital before. I guessed she left because it's time to go.

That evening, I spent 2 hours with her while we were waiting for the doctors to prepare the discharge documents. I asked her to open her eyes, she just moved my fingers. But when I said, "Mak We, kita nak balik ni", she opened her eyes and looked at me. I smiled and nodded to her. Then she closed back her eyes. Later came the staf nurse and talked to her. The nurse said she was in semi-concious but she could hear us. She apologized on behalf of Ward 3 and asked her to remember Allah. But when she said "Makcik nak balik ye", again Mak We opened her eyes and I could see she was trying with all her last strength to say "Nak balik" and I could hear it! Oh, she really wanted to go home badly.

Mak We, I'm going to miss you badly. I love you and always will. Now I know why we call them grandparents, because they give us Grand-Love. Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atasnya dan menempatkan dia di kalangan orang2 yang beriman. Amin. Al-Fatihah.

Doakan dia...

Mak We berada di hospital sejak Ahad lepas. Ada darah beku dalam kepala dia selepas buat CT-Scan. Selepas 3 hari, baru dia sedar. Alhamdullilah progress dia baik walaupun tak 100%. Berbanding di rumah haritu, she is getting ok slowly. Aku seperti dapat rasa Mak We kuat lagi, belum nak mati. She is really a fighter. Tapi aku kesal sangat, anak-anaknya dah sign surat perlepasan untuk tidak menerima alat bantuan hidup sekiranya tiba-tiba dia coma. Dan mereka tak setuju, untuk membedah keluarkan darah beku tu. Aku dah bising kat Ayah, tapi ayah kata "semua taknak, ayah nak buat macamana, Mak We dah tua". :-<

Kelmarin, Mak We aktif sedikit. Dia cakap dia nak balik and dia lapar, suruh masak bubur;) Dia nampak Husna dan dia senyum. Masa ni, aku ambil kesempatan cakap kat dia "Suriani sayang Mak We tau, Mak We kuat kan, baik cepat ye". Dia kenal orang-orang yang datang melawat dia. Mak S'wak, jaga dia waktu siang selepas Mak E and Mak Chu balik. Malam, Adik jaga (kudos to Adik). Cik Syam, Cik Nor and Ayah, sentiasa ada.

Semalam, dia pasif. Orang datang dia buka mata sekejap je. Husna dah berani skit, dia lambai Mak We dan ckp "Awe, cepat balik, jom jom". Pandai anak mama:)

2 minggu lepas (Isnin), dia jatuh kat dapur, kepala dia berdarah. Bila bawak ke hospital, doktor scan kepala dia kata takde apa2, boleh balik. Siapa lah doctor yang PANDAI sangat tu! Selepas 2 hari, dia mula meracau, tak ingat orang dan macam mamai aje. Aku dah ckp kat semua orang, suruh bawak Mak We ke hospital, pegi check semula. Dia dah tak makan, tanak makan ubat, for sure lah dia macam tu. Semua orang mcm bingung and kept saying "tadi petang/pagi dia ok". DEGIL. Makcik2 aku ni ingat diaorang ni doctor pakar agaknya!

Sampailah hari Ahad, bp dia terlalu rendah, dia terlalu lemah dan tak ingat orang. Malam tu lepas baca Yasin, Makcik Su (dia ni senior staff nurse) check and cakap better bawak dia ke hospital sebab dia makin lemah tapi jantung dia masih kuat. Buat apa mengadap aje, bukan boleh buat apa2. Tangan dia pun tak ada respon dan dah lebam2 -Makcik Su kata oksigen kurang di situ. Aku, Abah, Makcik Su, Pak Ngah Rosli dan Ustaz Ibrahim berjaya memujuk Ayah dan adik-beradiknya untuk bawak Mak We ke hospital. Aku memang conpius sangat kenapa Ayah lambat and takut buat keputusan waktu ni. Mungkin Ayah bingung/pressure sebab semua orang harapkan Ayah buat keputusan walaupun dia bukan anak sulung.

Ya Allah, sembuhkan dan kurangkan lah kesakitan Mak We. Kaulah yang Maha Mengasihani dan Maha Mengetahui. Kuatkan lah semangat dia dan keluarga kami. Amin, ya rabbal'alamin.
