This song is specially dedicated to Papa... from Umair Ilham..


I love you You love me
we're a happy family
with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you.
won't you say you love me too

Unbelieveable

To my dearest darling,
I'm blessed to have you.. Thank you for everything...


"Unbelievable"

Always said I would know where to find love,
Always thought I'd be ready and strong enough,
But some times I just felt I could give up.
But you came and you changed my whole world now,
I'm somewhere I've never been before.
Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]
It's so unbelievable,
And I don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall.
I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me.
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere I'd never thought I'd be.

In my heart, in my head, it's so clear now,
Hold my hand you've got nothing to fear now,
I was lost and you've rescued me some how-.
I'm alive, I'm in love you complete me,
And I've never been here before.
Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]

When I think of what I have, and this chance I nearly lost,
I cant help but break down, and cry.
Ohh yeah, break down and cry.

[Chorus]

Now I see, what love means

Let's Take A Few Days Break...

..though it's not gonna be very exciting coz Uzey's not coming along!! huhu...

so, what's my plan when in KL?
Let's see... blurgghh..macam takde mood langsung! But see lah how it goes. Without Uzey tagging along, I feel cam arghhhhh tak bestttttttnyaaaaaa....

anyways, this is a message to U.. sayang..

" First of all, welcome to my blog!!! I finally have a visitor! hahaha and feel so honoured to have you here keskeskes... secondly, please enjoy your free time and tolongla dok rileks2 je, tak payah la u nak kemas the whole house and mop and sanitize semua Ilham nye toys (but I bet that's what u will do..!!!) , tengkiu for sending the car for service. Thanks thanks thanks for everything that you have done and will do..
We are gonna miss you darling! Tak best nya shopping without u.. nanti I nak tanya sape kalau tatau nak beli barang? Nak mintak opinion sape? But I will buy your pesanan okay, don't worry. Ape lagi u teringin? Auntie Anne? Cinnabon? Let me know okayyyy.....

Finally, please take care of yourself & please pray that our journey will be smooth & Ilham tak buat hal sepanjang kat sana .... I love you and Ilham loves you more!!! Muahh muahhh.."

CUTI ANDA TELAH DILULUSKAN

Another Day..

We've been contemplating and doing some survey on what type insurance to buy for Ilham. Guess it's not too late to start thinking about it now, though it's quite hard to decide what kind/type/rate/whatsover things related to starting an education fund. Or would it be better to have a life insurance that covers everything? Medical/health? Education? Blablabla...

On a happier note (which doesn't involve decision at all, if any), lham has learned to point at my eyes and nose, everytime he's feeding then he'll start poking my nose and eyes and going confused on which is which. He has also learned Salam and cium tangan, but most of the times end up biting our hands instead of kissing it!

We bought him a cheap magna doodle and seems that he likes to scribe things on it and he actually knows how to hold a pencil, yeahh I mean not la holding and start writing but I guess fo a baby his age, he is quite smart, yeah?

It's not easy being Izy..

i am stubborn
i just want to leave this place
i said I want to leave this place
i want to learn how to swim properly :-p
i wish I can leave this place
i hate people who don’t respect others
i miss my family
i fear God
i hear that the company is going to increase our salaries :-)
i wonder what will happen to us
i regret coming here
i am glad I have Ilham & Uzey with me here
i sing when I feel like singing
i cry when I feel like crying
i am not always moody
i made nice cheese cake
i write for fun
i confused myself sometimes
i need a massage just like the one I had in Ubud
i should lose weight
i start my day by kissing Ilham
i finish my day by kissing Ilham

Ilham's First...

Aeroplane ride
when he was newly-conceived. I was in KL for a short trip, we just celebrated my birthday at The Ascott, and I was scheduled to return alone. We even had more trips when I was pregnant. November (Raya break), One in January (Raya Haji break), Feb (CNY break), Mar (Training in Shah Alam), April (went to Kuching with my parents), May (returned home to give birth) and in August, when we returned to Bintulu and he took his real first flight outside of the womb :-p

Meal
when he was 5.5 months. He didn’t enjoy it much though. Spilled the food on his car seat, refused to wear a bib and until today he is still a picky eater. Very very picky, infact.

Hair cut
when he was 7 days. Shaved by my dad and he looked really funny being bald.

shopping trip
When he was 39 days. Took him to Kuantan, managed to buy him a baby carrier which he has never used before returning home promptly since he cried non-stop in Parkson. Arghh..

Tooth
Can’t remember the exact date but he was 4 months old when he cut his first tooth. Had a slight fever and we thought the tooth was much too cute!

Hospital stay
When he was 2 days’ old. Being hospitalized for jaundice and kept under the blue light for almost 24 hrs a day for 6 days.

Toy
A rattle and a musical teether bought when I was 8 months’ pregnant

Car ride
On his 1st day of life, from hospital to my house. Slept all the way.

Swimming lesson
Those sessions in bath tub are not counted. Bought his first float & swimming diapers before our PD trip, where he played in the swimming pool for the first time when he was 10 months old

One year has passed..

I was flipping through Ilham’s album last night, and suddenly it dawns on me that he has grown up a lot , though he just passed 2 days after his first birthday. Fortunately we remembered to capture his first moments after his birth, though most of the photos only dated 21/06, less than 24 hrs after he was born.

The one that brought tears to my eyes was the picture where I was holding him in my arms, on my hospital bed, and he was looking at me and I smiled down at him. I felt blessed, contented and complete, and I still am now.

But the truth is, just flipping thru the album makes me wanna cry. I still can feel the excitement, the pain, the blood (tak tengok pun but I’m sure there were ‘pails’ of them) , the anxious faces outside the labour room, everyone and everything that happened on that memorable night.
I remembered saying "Alhamdulillah" loudly when Dr Zana put him on my tummy. And I remembered saying to Uzey "muka macam I! Muka dia macam I! " but.. Well.. He actually turns up to look more like his dad. Wishful thinking betul time2 tengah high cam tu.

No matter what, for every second that Ilham is with us, I will never trade it with anything else, coz the past 1 year with Ilham has been priceless.

Thank you Umair Ilham, for bringing such joy to us, especially to me, Papa & Nenek.. Everything we did and we still do now is for you, now, tomorrow ..and for the rest of our lives...

The School Meme

How many schools did I go to?

Five.

1. Tadika Balai Polis when I was 6. Until today I do not know the exact name of that kindie. Balai Polis coz it was located within the same gate of the police station.
2. SRK Sri Suria 2 where I spent the whole of my 6 years there.
3. TKC where I found the best of friends
4. Is MCC considered a school? Spent 2 years there where I turned to be an 'owl' . Didn't go to sleep until almost dawn and woke up just in time for classes.
5. Went to PPP until I graduated. Spent every single free time in Subang Parade, Sunway Pyramid & KLCC without worrying about having to study. Was already with Uzey at that time.

Was I the studious nerd, or the last minute hero?

Neither here nor there. Most of my programming assignments were done last minute.

Was I the class ‘taiko’ or the teacher’s pet?

I was no one to the TKC teachers. But I know Pn Sabariah & Ms Vicky liked me hehe. Teacher's pet esp in TITAS where I used to skip classes, missed a test, managed to buy an MC and got A for the final exam

What was the biggest rule I broke in school?

Ransacked a fifth former's desk when I was in form 4 . And the minor ones would be
1) Pijak rumput- kena warning masa House meeting
2) Lambat for breakfast- but Sue was 'Ratu'
3) Lambat turun dinner- kena kunci ngan Linda Onn
4) Tak pakai fork & spoon- kena fine 50sen-- bodoh nye
5) Curi2 kuar tgk movie- it was Desperado, if I'm not mistaken.

Three subjects I enjoyed.

Electronics- in PPP
English 101 - in MCC with the late Mr Fauzi
Maths

Three teachers that 'stuck' in my heart.

En Ahmad Bidin- more of a big brother for all of us
Mr Lim Kim Oh- the one who made me hate Physics for the rest of my life
Pn Raenah (can't remember the spelling) in PPP- I hate accounts more becoz of her!

Finally!!!!!

Finally berjaya letak ticker kat atas tu instead of kat footer
tu pun cam weird je but wat de heck. As long as it appears..lantak lah.

so...

Lesson Learnt #1

Jangan escape class web. Masa kat PPP dulu slalu escape class web. Skang nak letak ticker pun tak reti. I can't remember the lecturer's name tapi aku ingat sangat aku pau disket kak Azy pehtu tiru sejibik2 hahahha

testing

S:\misc\ticker.htm

why la...


I can't view photos on blog, tapi dlm textamerica boleh lak?

Hikmah nya...

aku tak tau..

I'm having a mixed emotion. Nasiblah airmata tak jatuh depan bos.

from the conversation, what can I say is..everything is BULLSHIT

kalau nak kasi aku blah, dah lama dia kasi. But for such a lame reason , still wanna keep me here and let me suffer, let Uzey suffers and let Ilham suffers.

What urgency are u talking about?
"The urgency is even greater now.." tak paham2 lagi?

Need me to list down my problems?

1. Financial
2. Financial
3. Financial

with my spending style and expenses for the household, we can't really live with one income. And lagi ada orang nak mintak fork out some money to contribute ?? Wtf???

God please help us get out of here!!!

Oh me Oh Myyyyy

There are so many things in my mind rite now..

Especially when 1 credit card has reached its maximum credit limit and another one is approaching soon.. sigh... cepatle bonus.. I wanna pay all my debts (and then start a new cycle) hehehe..evil grin..

How .. oh how am I gonna survive this trip since Uzey's not coming. And how Ilham's gonna survive when he opens his eyes one day and can only see Nenek, instead of Papa? Mama lak kena attend training..what will happen if he doesn't stop crying? what will happen if he doesn't wanna drink his milk? doesn't wanna eat? cries non-stop during the almost 3 hrs flight?
so many what ifs and I'm damn scared.

But I guess life must go on and we must be brave and accept things that happen, or will happen. Coz things happened for a reason...

On a much happier note, weekend is almost here. I've completed many tasks this week and feel good about it. The next step wud be to finish all the trainings, request for transfer again and see how it goes from there.

God please take me out of this place!!!!
