Gili Trawangan, Lombok.

We all fell in love with this place. We wished we can stay longer. What a wonderful time we had, mashaAllah.

Alhamdulillah, we are so blessed.

Weekend with uncles

A fun, memorable weekend. We went to FRIM's recreational forest with your uncle Ming and uncle Dan. We rented bicycles and hiked a bit to the canopy walk, you took a dip in the cold, refreshing waterfall, and we had so much fun. You werent exactly on a happy mood though; you were so tense having to cycle bike that you were never used to, injured your leg n hand a bit, fell off the bike a few times and for a hot day, you didnt get enough drinks - we were not adequately prepared. Only after your swim n play in the water your mood improved. I guess maybe riding with the wet clothes also helped with your riding afterward 😊.

I think sampai sini dulu for now. Im sorry. I know dah lama Mama tak tulis blog... but i will try to write more. Right now, rasa nak sleep je. My head is killing me.

I love you so, Sayang. Until Jannah.

Bake a Cake

Finally! Dapat jugak anak mama masak kek kann... it has been months you minta dengan mama to bake a cake. Because of your full schedule during school terms.. we had to wait until school holiday lah kan. Hope you had fun ;-)

Your Late Tok Abah

You did not get the chance to meet him.
You did not get the chance to hear him.
You did not know about him.
Until you saw his pic in our wedding photo.
You asked once, 'who is he?'
Upon finding out the answer, you asked 'Where is he? Why can't I meet him like I meet Wan?'

That 2010's Eidul Fitri morning was the first time when I believe you really understood who Tok Abah was, and how much he means to all of us. That morning, you cited for him Al-Fatihah.

Keep on citing, my darling ya. Whenever he crosses your mind. Everytime you say your prayer after solah. And before you sleep every night. As much as Wan loves you today, you know Tok Abah would have loved you no less. And you would love him too. And remember what is the best gift we can give to him? the first Surah you know. Al-Fatihah.

I love you darling. You've always made me proud.

What?? NOSE BLEED??

Panic mama. It was your first ever nose bleed. Tak banyak pun... tak meleleh-leleh cuma visible kat lubang hidung dan sebab Aliya wipe nose Aliya unconciously ada lah tercalit sikit kat tepi hidung. Tapi mama panic le sebab nampak darah kat Aliya!

Masa tu baru nak je lepas solat Maghrib kat restoran Yusuf Haslam. Berbuka puasa semalam. Time tu tgh nak ambik kuih yang sama colour dgn t-shirt Aliya ~ belang2 pink and white yang selalu je ada dalam gambar. Kawan abah Hj Satar suruh cepat2 amik ice dan letak kat atas kepala Aliya. Dia kata kepala panas tu. Abah pun bergegas bangun ke kitchen restoran mintak ice. Then, abah letak dalam handkerchief abah, bg mama letak kat kepala. Aliya okay je.. suka je... macam takde apa2 berlaku pun. Cuma kepala Aliya jadi basah la macam mandi. Aliya siap berangan tgh shampoo rambut lagi. Haha.

Seorang pakcik yang kerja kat kedai tu pun, kebetulan berada berhampiran dgn tempat kejadian cakap perkara yang sama juga, kena letak ice atas kepala. Dia kata 'owh.. ni sama la ni dgn anak pakcik yang itu' sambil menunjuk ke arah seorang perempuan baya2 ateh. Perempuan tu senyum aje.

Pakcik tu kata nanti dia baik sendiri. Pakcik bawak anak pakcik gi klinik, diorang pun suruh letak ice kat kepala, lap hidung dgn kain lembap. Katanya diorng pun takde bagi ubat apa2 pun. Itu saje caranya.

Memang takde pun darah yang keluar lagi lepas tu. Memang tak banyak pun keluar asalnya. Mama actually risau jugak nak tiba2 letak ice kat atas kepala aliya. Macam boleh demam je macamtu mama fikir sebab dari panas tiba2 sejuk mendadak..... Nasib baik Aliya tak demam.

Tapi mama tak puas hati juga ni, macammana boleh datang nose bleed ni ek? Macammana pulak kepala aliya panas tapi tak demam? Heran. Apakah penjelasan saintifik utk fenomena ni (chewah!) So, mama google la "nose bleed". Banyak info yang mama dapat. Antaranya (to sum ye.. sbb banyak site ni)...



~ Punca nose bleed: Generally, due to dry and warm air. Sometimes, due to allergy medication (antihistamine) which results in drier nose interior. Sometimes, nose picking. Other, less common, causes include injuries, colds, allergies or cocaine use. Children may stick small objects up the nose. Older people may have atherosclerosis (which is the hardening of the arteries), infections, high blood pressure and blood clotting disorders, or they may be taking drugs like aspirin that interfere with blood clotting. Sometimes, the cause of nosebleeds can't be determined.




~ What should we do kalau ada nose bleed: sit down and lean slightly forward. Keeping your head above your heart will slow the bleeding. Lean forward so the blood will drain out of your nose instead of down the back of your throat. If you lean back, you may swallow the blood. This can cause irritate your stomach. Use your thumb and index finger to squeeze together the soft portion of your nose. This area is located between the end of your nose and the hard, bony ridge that forms the bridge of your nose. Keep holding your nose until the bleeding stops. Don't let go for at least 5 minutes. If it's still bleeding, hold it again for another 5 to 10 minutes. Once the bleeding stops, don't do anything that may make it start again, such as bending over or blowing your nose. Once you've stopped the initial nosebleed, don't lift heavy objects or do other activities that cause you to strain, and don't blow your nose for 24 hours. Also, keep your head elevated above your heart as much as possible. A single nosebleed is rarely cause for alarm, but frequent nosebleeds might indicate a more serious problem. If you get nosebleeds more than once a week, you should see your doctor. Most cases of frequent nosebleeds are easily treated. Sometimes blood vessels inside the nose become irritated and don't heal. This happens frequently in teens who have ongoing allergies or frequent colds. A doctor may have a solution if you have this problem.

If your doctor rules out a sinus infection, allergies, or irritated blood vessels, he or she may order other tests to see why you're getting frequent nosebleeds. Rarely, a bleeding disorder could be a possibility, although it's unlikely that a bleeding disorder will first show up as a nosebleed.

So.. in your case, mama ingat yang prior to that incident Aliya sneezed banyak kali. Banyak dari pada biasa (in your case, more than 5 times). Maybe sebab tu kot. Lagi satu, Aliya ni kalau mama suruh blow your nose masa selsema, suka blow kuat2.. sebab nak bagi mama 'kejut'. Hehe. Mama pun ingat menda tu harmless, so mama pun selalu je buat2 'kejut'. Tu yang lagi Aliya suka buat. So lepas ni no more kejut2 dgn blow nose kuat2 ye sayang.

Okay... harap2 information ni cukup buat rujukan mama and aliya sendiri in the future. Kalau Aliya rajin, (memang rajin pun, kan) Aliya google lah. Ada banyak info, siap ada diagram, sketch gambar hidung dan details kat mana selalu berdarah, dan macam2 lah. Ada cartoon yg lukis gambar darah keluar memancut2 lagi dari hidung. Mama nak letak tadi kat sini tapi hari ni mama rasa tak sampai hati pulak. Tgk lah esok lusa kalau angin mama jadi angin kejam sikit. Hehehe....

Jaga2.. jgn korek idung tu. Hesy... Kalau ada taik idung bersihkan dengan cara wuduk tu.. masukkan air dalam rongga hidung dan keluarkan semula. Buat selalu... kan elok melembapkan kulit bhgian dalam hidung.. selain sebab mama pernah baca kat mana tah dulu, yang Syaitan suka tidur dalam rongga hidung. Buat kita jadi malas nak solat. Bila masukkan air, Syaitan pun akan...? ruuuunnnn ;-)

Juga minum air banyak2 okeh... Jadikan amalan. Saaaaaaaaayang anak mama. Mmuahss.

HONG KONG DISNEYLAND!!

Sejak bulan 4 lagi Aliya tunggu hari itu. Hari ke Disneyland! Jangan kan Aliya... mama and abah pun tak sabar! Mana tak... rasa sangat2 lama kita tak betul2 spend masa bersama. Just the three of us. Selalunya, ke mana-mana kita pergi semuanya sekejap2 dan tak sempat rasa puas.

Maka memang sangat gembiralah kita semua bila harinya sudah tiba. Mama ada banyak nak cerita pasal trip kita ni. Banyak sungguh lah. Mana tak... Gambar saje mau 800 lebih tau! Berbaloi2 beli EOS ritu... Sepenuhnya digunakan (setakat yang mama & abah pandai le). Nasib baik sungguh. Walaupun ada juga gambar diambil dgn compact camera, memang tak terbanding kepuasan menengok gambar dgn EOS ... ;)

Itu baru tang gambar2. Nak dikomen setiap satu gambar tu memang confirm sebulan baru puas hati. Tang perjalanan yang menyeronokkan (nasib baik naik Cathay Pacific!), aktiviti2... makanan2... orang2... mmm.... Yang paling penting sekali, gelagat Aliya masa di sana. Tgk lah. Mama cuba summarise2 kan sebaik mungkin. Memang kalau boleh semuanya mama nak rakamkan di sini. Supaya suatu hari nanti, ini dapat bantu Aliya untuk recall semua sebaik mungkin.

Tapi, hari ni tak dapat, ye. Entry selepas ini mungkin boleh. Kali ni, mama amik snap shots Aliya bersama-sama dengan favourite princesses. Belle & Aurora :)

Aliya gembira sangat masa tu. At first Aliya tak nak turun dari stroller, sebab panas sangat cuaca hari tu. Tapi, akhirnya berjaya dipujuk oleh Abah. Nasib baik Aliya turun juga. Sebab princess2 ni memang sangat princess like... They move and talk very2 gracefully. At first, they were standing, then masa Aliya sampai dekat dgn diorang, diorang pun duduk. Meleret baju Belle, kan? Cantiiiiiiikkk!

Daddy's Little Girl

My poor baby. I have never seen you missing someone like this before. Abah had to be away for work, thursday till sunday. And since monday, you hasn't seen him - he had to attend class after work, went to driving range, and so by the time he got home, you had already been in bed. And then he had left for work in the morning before you got up. So... tonight, you did not want to go to bed. You said you wanted to wait for Abah.

"Dah lama saya tak see face abah". And you cried. Sedih mama tengok Aliya. So I smsed him hoping he would call. He did not reply. This is a bit strange to me sebab he had sent me smses, and even called me before. I hope nothing serious is happening to him.

Mama pujuk Aliya tengok gambar abah kat frame.Yang ada gambar aliya and abah. You looked happy at first. But after a few moments, you told me that they were not enough.

"I want to see the real Abah" tears were flowing down your cheek.

I called your daddy. But I didnt get through: Network busy.

"i am sorry, darling. I could not get him. Maybe we can try later, okay. In the mean time, why dont you lie down, put the frame by your side and pretend like its him?" I wished so hard that you'd buy that. I know you love play-pretend.

"Okay. But i dont want to put abah by my side. I want to hug abah. A great big hug". You said with a great big smile on your face.

"Okay, sayang. Of course". That was a relief. And then you lay down, hugging the pic close to your chest.

Then as you settled in bed and closed your eyes, i turned off the light. I went to my room and tried to contact your daddy again. But I still couldn't get through.

So i decided to get ready for bed myself. A few seconds later, you came into my room. I asked you what was wrong. Then you said
"Its so dark. I cant see Abah's face. I need to see his face". Oh dear darling. I went back to your room and turned on the bedside lamp. You smiled, jumped on your bed and lay down hugging the pic frame once again.

That was you when you missed your daddy that day. I hope your dad will try to spend some time with you before he fly to China on the next weekend. I hope your daddy will read this entry some day. i think he needs to know.

Misi Minyak

Hari ni mama takde mood nak menulis tesis Mama. Mama nak kena jugak2 tapi .... heargh! Berat sungguhla rasanya. Ntah la sayang, maybe nanti Aliya juga akan lalui masa2 ni. Ini semua ujian masa belajar.

SO, since Mama cuma ada mood untuk menulis tentang Aliya... Why not mama tulis tentang Aliya je, ye dak? Dah lama pun mama tak sit down and focus pada blog ni. Entry sebelum2 ni semua mama buat through hp je. Ikut dan mama. Kebanyakan masanya ialah sementara mama tunggu Aliya main kat play area - kat Jusco ke... kat Keramat Park ke.. Kat dalam compound Sri Ayu ke. Tapi ada satu entry tu dah lama mama try send tak boleh2 nak publish. Isy. Penat je mama taip. Dah la keypad phone tak se best menaip di computer, kan. Harap2 one day boleh la upload.

Anyway.. apa ye tadi. Oh ye. Pasal Aliya. Semalam masa mama nak tidur.. a few minutes before lena, mama teringat the first time mama perasan Aliya bersikap expressive dengan fikiran Aliya: when Aliya speak your mind. Masa tu, kat Skudai. On the way to work, mama terpaksa singgah Petronas di dalam Taman Universiti utk isi minyak. Sebelum tu, Aliya tak pernah tanya atau komen apa mama buat... just tengok aje. That time, lepas mama siap semua and masuk dalam keta, Aliya terus tanya mama.

"Mama, mama buat apa tadi tu?"

I remember feeling so amazed at you that moment. You were just two.

Maybe sebab mama terkaget sebab tak jangka Aliya akan tanya, and i never prepared myself to answer such questions from you before. Yes, I have read that mothers should explain when they were asked, but the moment of truth.... Hmm... You really did caught me off guard. With your innocent eyes, so curious, and demanding for the answer.

I remember smiling, hugging you before starting with the ignition. And then while driving you to your nursery, I explained what i did and why i did it. And you got my explanation. I knew, because you talked to me again about mama 'MISI MINYAK' when we were on our way back home later that day.

And then i thought, wow... You have grown so much since then. As i lie there in my bed, i realised that you have already begin to do things that grown ups do... sleeping in your own room, knowing to clean up and tidy up things, talking about your friends... Had fun playing hide and seek yesterday at the park.. and sometimes, making decisions, making options.

Wah.... how time flies. Tapi lepas tu mama pun tido. Hehehe. Dah ngantuk sangat. Tunggu abah balik tak sampai2. Asyik layan bos dia aje ;-).

Kay la sayang. Ni mama letak video aliya naik bike. Enjoy ;-)

Trip to Kuantan Jan 2010

Dear darling,

This was one of our unplanned yet pleasant short trip to Kuantan. Abah had to join the East Coast Region Golf and Meeting on a weekend so he decided all of us should go. We planned for the water park treat for you on Sunday, but you caught a cold. So... we had to cancel it. But you were a good girl, you understood our explanation without much hassle, behaved very2 well. We are so proud of you, darling. And we are praying that you would always behave the way you did :).

Although you didnt get the chance to enjoy water park, you did (and so did Me and Abah) enjoy the Teluk Chempedak Beach. Here are some of the pics, baby.

Your current favourite pose... hehe

"Ada sand dalam slipper"

"Daddy loves you"

"Apa tuu Abah? Macam snake aje? Tapi nape head dia banyak??"

"Eww... sebab there isnt just one snake! Berbelit2!"

You dare trying to touch them!

Yang ni... Mama's favourite :)

Yang ni lak.. Mama and Abah's pic (taken by you)

It was a very2 fun trip.

And Aliya, we love you so.
