Pitam!!!

The one supposed to be yesterday's entry:

Dec 23rd, 2008

We were just came back from checkup in St. Raphael. Mrs mama also got all the result from previous tests; pap smears and blood test. Pap smears -ve, HIV -ve, rubella immuned, hepatitis B immuned, not anemic, kira semua ok la... normal! Tekanan darah pun normal, baby's heart beat normal. And most important, baby develops well...

So, aper citer pitam nie??? Tadi, mrs mama bleh pitam la pulak kat depan kaunter sementara tgh tunggu the nurse arrange for next appointment. Tengah berdiri tu tiba2 raser lain mcm. Rasa nak sakit perut pun ada. Then macam nak pening pun ada. Pastu tiba2 blank!!! Tau2 dgr org kecoh2 ambil kerusi, dudukkan, panggil Dr. Bhuvanesh... bla bla bla... Dah sedar sket, diaorg bg bagi minum air, and makan pisang... Lepas tu baru raser much better :D (seumur hidup mrs mama, nie 2nd time pitam, 1st time maser 1st day masuk form6, 1995)

So aper yg tak kena? Mrs mama had breakfast as usual, roti cicah milo (bestnyer kalau dpt nasi lemak bungkus dgn sambal sotong...). That was between 10-11am. We were at the hospital around 120-2pm. Maybe psl tak cukup tido kot. Since duduk US nie mmg ader masalah nak tido. Lambat benor baru bleh tido. Or maybe gak psl tak cukup makan. Mrs mama lost 5lbs since last checkup (Nov 24th). Nurse tu siap tanya, "have u been sicked?" Tak pernah la pulak sakit. Tapi mmg takde selera makan. 4-5 days baru nak makan nasi sekali. Hari2 lain makan roti, plus vitamin yg dr. bagi. Vitamin mmg tak miss kecuali 2 days ago sbb abis stock. Satu lagi detected from urine test, kurang minum air.

Malas nak masak tu satu hal la (syndrom sejak pregnant nie)... tapi biler masak, even yg simple2 takde selera plak nak makan later sbb tak lalu dgn bau2an masa memasak tu. Tengah winter nie bukannyer boleh memasak bukak tingkap. Abis satu rumah bau. Lama lak tu baru nak hilang...

Therefore, mrs mama kena force to eat. The dr said, since mrs mama not eating enough food, fat in the body becomes ketone and ketone is not good for baby development. Byk2 maser nak turunkan berat badan, maser tgh pregnantkan 2nd one nie la pulak bleh turun. Cuma tak healthy je la...

Ingat nak amik gambor tadi kat st. raphael. Since snow nie mrs mama mana pernah keluar rumah :D tapi terlupa la pulak! biler teringat teksi dah sampai. Hari nie trip pergi balik naik teksi coz atuk landlord ader christmas party, takleh nak pinjam keter. Teksi costs $25 pergi balik. Perjalanan tak sampai pun 15 mins.

Snowy December

Last weekend we were hit by a massive snow storm. Start dari hari Jumaat sampai la hari Ahad. Ada break kejap around Saturday at noon. Last Friday siap sekolah tutup sebab the bad weather. The weekend before this dah ada sekali snow fall, tapi tak la byk sangat. Probably around 5 inci je. But this time, dekat satu kaki gak la. However, it was not as bad as last year.


During raya haji pun its snowing and chilly. Takde entry masa raya haji aritu sebab we had nothing happening on raya haji. Pagi2 pegi sembahyang raya kat Yale, balik dari sembahyang raya terus buat final exam. It was a busy week for mr ayah with the final exams and term papers. Mrs mama pun mmg malas nak prepare anything for raya haji. So end up, our raya haji mcm tak beraya la. Dah la last year beraya haji atas flight.

Sementara ada snow ni, sempat la mr ayah dgn littleman main snow blkg rumah. Tapi takat main snow ball fight je la. Maybe next snow fall boleh try buat snow man lak. Normally around January snow lagi byk.


Nak kata best winter ni, tak best mana pun. Kalau takat rasa winter seminggu dua ok la, tapi kalau nak harung the whole winter season, hmmmm. Dah cukup kot. This will be our last winter. Bila lagi nak rasa winter tak tau la. Maybe masa mr ayah sambung PhD nanti? Who knows... ;)

Genap setahun

Dah setahun rupanyer kami menetap di bumi Amerika ini. Nak kater kejap je maser berlalu, kadang2 terasa lambat la jugak, hehehe...

20th December 2007, bersamaan dgn Hari Raya AidilAdha... 2 keluarga en. Hamzah dan en. Zainal berkumpul di KLIA menghantar pemergian kami sekeluarga ke USA. Why we chosed to fly on the morning of Hari Raya??? The reason was, so that none of our family members have to take leave to send us to the airport ;)

The day before, we were in mrs. mama's sister's house preparing the Raya dishes. Littleman pulak tiba2 tak sihat that day, muntah2 sepanjang hari, sampai dah lembik. Later that night before balik Keramat, we decided to singgah klinik kanak2 dr. ting in puchong sbb risau tgk keadaan littleman.

Littleman kena masuk air 2 botol. Lama jugak kat situ nak tunggu air dlm botol tu habis. We went home around 1230am. Sampai Keramat, sambung last minute packing. Terus bawak turun luggages siap2. Tido around 230am, and bangun balik around 430am to get ready to go to the KLIA. 2 cars, mr ayah drove the terano while mrs mama follow from behind with neo. We took the new highway, Jln Tun Razak-Putrajaya. Time tu baru sgt bukak, toll pun belum kena lagi. First time gak try highway tu, tapi mmg dah tau kat maner last exit sbb dah biaser nampak.

Arrived in KLIA about 645am, serentak dgn mrs mama's families. After checking-in we all gathered at KFC. Littleman dah tak nampak mcm org sakit, alhamdulillah... dpt pulak jumpa cousins dier, mmg terus sihat la. Dalam kepala littleman, dier ingat the cousins pun akan ikut dier naik plane. So when it was time to say gudbye, melalak la dier... Jenuh berdukung pulak lepas tu. Plan nak lepak golden lounge pun tak jadi coz dier ngamok!!! Until dlm flight pun masih tak ok. Nasib baik we were seated quite behind, so takde la kacau org sgt.

The journey was smooth. Eventhough littleman rajin jugak ke depan ke belakang saying hello to every passangers. Having Just for Laugh on inflight entertaiment really helped a lot. Mr ayah awal2 lagi dah dengkur... tak cukup tido mlm tadi.








Transit in Arlanda airport, Stockholm sekali lagi littleman mengamok. Dier mengamok psl tak boleh keluar from that area. Just 1 hr transit, so we cannot go anywhere... Habis jadi perhatian dlm tu. Crew yg nak take over duties pun dah pandang semacam, mcm dah target plak this littleman gonna give them trouble on the flight. He did, but not for long... he fell asleep later and only wokeup when we safely landed in Newark airport. Dgn muka terpinga2 tu... "we did it! i did it, mama!!!" hehehe...

At arrival hall, few m'sians dah tunggu, sambut ketibaan kami. We then straight away went to abg yus's house for dinner. We had nasi ayam. Later went to Zakir's house, where we menumpang stayed until we moved to our own house. Luckily we managed to get into our own house after few days later. Thanks to the International Services Office of UNH sebab rekomen rumah ni. Dpt tuan rumah lak yg sgt baik hati.

Its been a year now, skrg sibuk lak counting days nak balik....
