Me : That's his name.. like yours, D..

Little D : Yeah, I know it is his name, but why hujan? Ada ke orang nama hujan?

Me : ... (speechless!..)

Vertigo

Lately ni aku rasa macam tak berapa nak sihat... always dizzy and feels like floating.. especially bila aku baring... bila aku turn to the other side je, rasa macam lost control of my head.. terasa macam tetiba darah naik ke kepala.. and then rasa cam nak muntah..

So last Sunday I went to see a doctor... hubby was ever willing to bring me to the clinic sebab aku ni boleh tahan degil la bab bab pi jumpa doctor ni... Jumpa doctor and explained to her what I have been having... She checked my BP and was told that aku ni low blood pressure.. BP aku 90/60.. Memang aku ada history low blood and masa aku bujang dulu mesti aku pitam on average sebulan sekali... She gave me ubat demam (according to her aku demam sikit and that may be the cause of my dizziness) and ubat tahan muntah and told me not to worry.. She said that I am stress when I told her the way I work.. Well, I don't think she is aware of this vertigo disease sebab kalau dia tau mesti dia dah cakap kat aku kan..

Anyway, I took my medicine religiously because memang aku tak tahan sangat when my head spinning... Kepala aku tak sakit tapi the moment you have this spinning sensation rasa macam nak tumbang! Lepas tiga ari makan ubat nothing change.. I complained to hubby but he didn't take it seriously sebab dia cakap all this happen to me because of my work.. that I am stress and if I were to get enough sleep and rest and eat properly, this spinning sensation will hilang..

How I found out about vertigo was when I told my colleague, Evelyn of what I was feeling.. Then she told me that she had the same last year and her doctor told her that it was this vertigo thingy.. So I google and found this on the net..

What is vertigo?

Vertigo is not a disease in itself, but rather a symptom that can have a number of causes. Vertigo is defined in Webster's dictionary as a feeling "in which the external world seems to revolve around the individual or in which the individual seems to revolve in space". Occurring without warning, it comes and goes unpredictably and is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and problems with equilibrium. Mild episods may feel more like a rocking sensation or mere light-headedness.

Benda ni can be treated with drugs and non surgical therapy.. I think I have to go and see specialist la, takut nanti kalau dah lama lama jadik benda lain lak kan...

Nak, Nak, Nak!

I like this bag from LV but hubby does not quite like the idea of me getting such an expensive bag sebab aku ni tak berapa nak pandai jaga bag... Aku dah lama dok ushar bag ni and I wanted to have this to mark my 15 years in hotel industry.. Well, something yang boleh mengingatkan aku penat lelah aku bekerja.. Anyway, it's not APPROVED by hubby.. so there goes my would be the first and last LV...

My latest kegilaan! iPod Touch! ish, ish, ish.... It had me at the first TOUCH! OMG, how I wish I can just go and buy it straight away... Tapi aku tak leh nak buat gila lagu tu la kan... But, the most important thing is that it's APPROVED! and me will be getting it this Saturday! woo hoo..

One day I will have my very own BMW 318i... One day... enuf said...

and oh yes... it's APPROVED of course!

She Graduated! Heh!

Today is Little D's big day - her annual concert & graduation. Why was it her big day? Coz not only she' graduating, she's also performing! Surprise, surprise!

I was told by her principal that she was supposed to be one of the bride for the march in before the concert starts, but she refuse with all her might! So her name was dropped from the list. Aku dah agak dah.. Budak ni kalau dia agree, then something must be wrong somewhere..

We sent her to school at 8.30am as she need to dress and make up.. Mak aiih! make up! Can you believe that, my little girl is all so big now.. We had breakfast before we head to UIA for the concert.

When the show starts, I was looking for her for I do not know which show she was to perform. When the English dance session came up, we saw her sour face behind the curtain. My, was she all excited.. Not!!!

Muka punya lah ketat sampai kan Abah dia pon dia tak nak acknowledge.. Well she saw hubby when he was video tapping her, but she refuse to smile.. protes la tu..

After the graduation, we took her to KLCC for Haagen Dazs... She made a pact with me that she would speak to me in English, if not I would be singing "I like to move it move it" to her...

Whatever it is, I am one damn proud parent today! My daughter all grown up and the best part is, she graduated (well, from pre-school that is..)

Eid in Kelantan

This year turn aku beraya kat Kelantan... Hari Khamis, 11 October 2007 kitorang konvoi balik kampung, 2 bijik keta, Hubby and Angah... Memula Amy bawak keta kitorang sebab Hubby letih.. Then half way thru, tukark driver.. tapi si Angah lak sakit sampai termuntah muntah.. so Amy jugak la yang kena drive keta dia.. Sian Amy... Sampai Kelantan dah pukol 5, Alhamdullilah.. balik tu cuma jam sat saja kat tol, tu pun sebab ada accident.. But the journey was smooth, sampaikan aku tak rasa cam nak balik raya..

Dapat la puasa satu ari kat kampung.. buka puasa ari tu makan sup kaki.. best!!.. Malam tu tolong Ma buat ketupat dakap and masak rendang..

Esok tu lepaih semayang raya, kitorang beraya rumah Mek Limah & Mek Semah, then rumah Mek Banggol Judah.. Balik rumah to rombongan Mek Kemahang lak sampai... 5 buah keta babe! Macam nak pi belarak kawin! Later in the evening, Cik Nah sampai with Mok Lah & family.. Jamu makan and sembang sembang..

The next day we went to visit Abah's relatives sampai Kota Bharu, pegi rumah Tok Su tapi dia tadak.. Tok Su ni sejak kawin baru aku tak jumpa pon dia lagi.. sibuk btoi.. Ohya, we went to Ayah Long's house for makan makan as well.. dekat Pulai Chondong..

Malam tu teman Little D main mercun, yang Hubby yang lebih main bukan nya si D pon.. Kitorang pasang lampu raya, aku suruh Hubby beli nak letak ataih pokok.. Hubby gi beli yang ada music.. Yang lawak nya, lagu yang keluark lagu X'mas! Tak ka haru, so adik kena selotep box tu dengan tisu...

Before we came back to KL, kitorang pegi Tok Bali sebab dah promise Little D nak bawak dia pi mandi laut.. Before that in the morning we went to Pengkalan Kubor, rumah Cik Din.. sebab nak pi bershopping dekat duty free tu.. ada la jugak yang aku beli... So by the time kitorang balik Machang dah kul 5.30pm, mandi, semayang bagai pukol 6.30pm baru keluark pi Tok Bali.. Sampai ja dah Maghrib.. tapi sebab dah janji dengan si mek tok tu punya pasai, Hubby mandi jugak la...

In Loving Memory of My Bapak

Today marked the 4th year of bapak's passing.. dan dah 5 kali jugak aku tak beraya ngan bapak.. Sedih, tapi aku redha.. Now, let me tell you a bit about my bapak..

Bapak was the most open minded person I've ever come across.. Bapak memang sporting tapi at the same time firm with his kids.. Aku ngan bapak memang kamceng sangat sampai aku rasa bapak aku boleh baca pikiran aku macam dia dok baca paper pagi pagi sambil minum kopi.. tu dia punya dasat.. tapi tu la bapak aku.. most of the time yang dia boleh baca pikiran aku bila aku call ujung bulan... dia tau aku bukan saja nak tanya dia sihat ka dak tapi nak bagitau jugak yang poket aku tak berapa nak sihat... :-)..

Selalunya aku tak sempat nak tanya lagi bapak dah tanya dulu.. hang ada duit?.. tapi ni masa aku bujang dulu la... ada la jugak sekali dua masa dah kawin... hehehe.. dan selalunya memang lah time aku tengah nazak.. tu sebab aku kata bapak aku boleh baca pikiran aku... terror kan?

Aku sempat balik tengok bapak kat hospital masa dia tengah sakit.. abang sulung aku insist kami balik weekend tu sebab dia tak sedap ati.. family aku ni ada history meninggal bulan puasa and masa tu lak tengah puasa.. so aku ngan hubby pon amik cuti sabtu tu and ikut abang aku balik ngan kawan dia... bapak was all happy and healthy and was extremely excited to see us back.. Dia dok mengadu tak nak dok hospital and insisting us to bring him home.. So aku cakap kat bapak, kalau bapak nak ikut balik KL, bapak kena dok hospital makan ubat bagi baik baru boleh ikut... and bapak obliged.. though he will not normally.. bapak ni kalau orang penang kata, ketegark.. mean stubborn yang amat.. tapi ari tu dia obliged cakap aku... Pasai apa aku kata stubborn? Pasai even though kaki dia dua dua belah amputated due to kencing manis, he can still drive and walk! His has a very strong will power and kalau tu yang dia nak, tu la yang dia nak and dia akan usaha sampai dapat..

Sunday we left for KL.. before balik Hubby ngan aku jumpa bapak for the last time, still in hospital and promised him that we will be taking him back to KL the very next trip.. My brother was already arranging for hospital bed here in KL for him...

Monday aku call, bapak was still ok and still insisting of coming home... tak suka dok hospital lama lama kata dia.. Tuesday he was discharged and my brother in Penang brought him back... It was Wednesday when I received call from Kudin asking me whether aku dah dengark ka.. and at that moment I knew something was wrong with bapak that I started crying.. Kudin told me to relax and jangan panic sebab bapak dah meninggal, passed in his sleep.. He woke up earlier to have his normal breakfast, bread and susu and then he slept again with my younger brother hugging him.. and he was the one who was hit the most sebab dia tak sedark langsung yang bapak dah takdak..

All I could think of was how lucky I was for going back that weekend, kalau tak I would have never had a chance to see him.. I cried sungguh sungguh after that and we rushed back to Penang with my brother and his family.. When we arrived, bapak dah siap mandi and was waiting for his last journey..

Raya that year was not the same at all with no more bapak screaming at us to cook the ekork lembu cepat cepat.. no more bapak to scold the boys who was screaming while melaungkan takbir malam raya... no more bapak who will ask me whether I have money or not.. no more bapak for the last 4 years!

Aku redha... even though bapak ngan mak aku dah takdak, Allah SWT tu maha mengasihani.. and He gave me Abah & Ma as my in law... Walau tak serupa tapi kasih sayang diaorang kat aku tetap sama.. macam yang diaorang bagi pada anak anak diaorang...

Al Fatihah.. Abdul Razak Mohd Ismail 1933 - 2003..
