We love Abi

For the past 5 weeks Mummy and I are here in Perak, Abi never failed to come back every weekend to visit us. There was time when Abi reached Opah's house at 11.30am on Saturday and took the 10.30am bus back to KL the very next day! This is what I call - L.O.V.E :* We love you Abi!

Abi tried very hard to spent quality time with me everytime he was around. He read Al-Quran, Al-Furqan and Baby Books for me. He is such a funny dad and knows how to entertain small and cute baby like me. He was also the one who successfully introduced me to bottle-feeding-Mummy's-EBM last weekend. Now Mummy suspected that I loike bottle more than the origin. Huhu. Depress.

First attempt using Dr Brown's bottle failed. Gune teat NUK yg PCMC kasik free tu yg ok.

Everytime Abi left Opah's house on Sunday, Mummy never failed to cry and I never failed to sleep when he left. :-(

When I was in Mummy's tummy for 36 weeks, Mummy was all alone in KL. (except for weekends) I pray hard that Abi will work in KL soon so that the 3 of us can live happily under one roof. Amin.

Can't wait to see Abi again this Saturday!

Late Night Show

Today genap 6 days nadirahku menjadi super-cranky. Malam dr kol 11pm-1am dy host 'The Late Night Show with Maryam Nadirah'. Tetamu di studio ade 2 org, Mummy and Opah. Malam td penonton bertambah kerana rancangan dah dapat liputan luas - Abi. Abi ni tetamu jemputan kalo buat weekend punye shooting je, weekdays tetamu tetap ade 2 org je. Basically rancangan ni pretty simple, host (Nadirah) akan mendendangkan lagu2 hard rock selame 2 jam, diselangi dengan beberapa advertisement produk penyusuan ibu yg dibawakan khas oleh Mummy. Ade juga aktiviti sauna (read:tuam) seluruh badan Host yg di co-host oleh Opah. Host juga menjemput Opah untuk mengalunkan Qasidah dan Marhaban di tengah2 malam buta. Normally 1am sharp, Nadirah dah buleh tido sampai pagi.

Mcm2 hipotesis Mummy and Opah buat. Kembung due to air filter, cuace mcm nak hujan, cuaca panas sangat, sarung tgn suke tercabut, kipas kuat sgt, sarung kaki suke tercabut, tuam sikit sgt, minyak telon x rasi etc. Sebut la aper sahaje mummy and opah dah try segala mcm care to eliminate the cause of Kembung. Nampaknyeh belum ade jalan penyelesaian.

Smalam we went to Klinik Yasmin for 6th-week check-up and Hep-B injection. Meraunglah puteri santubong Abi itu bile kene cucuk. Adoi. Mummy yg tgk pun rase sakit. Sian anak Mummy. Berat Nadirah has increased to 3.8kg! Alhamdulillah. Her weight mase newborn was 2.29kg, so she has increased 1.5kg in 6 weeks. Hoho. Doctor said the kembung cud possibly cause due to the jamu that I've taken for the past 2 weeks. Mummy feels so terrible and now has stop consuming it. :-(

Alhamdulillah Nadirah x demam after the injection. But as always, she never missed to shoot another late night show last night.

Mummy sayang Nadirah and Mummy kesian tgk Nadirah nangis kua2 mcm tu.

Semoga Allah mudahkan malam2 yg mendatang. Amin.

:-(

Bingung

Last night was another challenging night for mummy. HnyB cried like somebody just hit her with tali cemeti. Siap menggelupar lagi. Sedih btol tengok. It was 12.45am when she started howling. Mummy was panicked and Opah came to rescue her cucu.

Opah ruled out that the root cause is Kembung. What else kalo budak nangis malam2. Huhu. While Mummy feeding her, Opah tuam her whole body. Baru la stop nangis. Actually she didnt cried that long. Less than 5 minutes to be exact. But the volume, the body languange and the super red face made us all super-depress. She's too small to bear all the pain. Argh. This is the 2nd night she put up a late night show like this. I just cant imagine if she started to join the 'Late Show with David Letterman' when Mummy back to work nanti. Dahla Mummy all alone. No Abi tu help. No Opah to tuam. Oh Allah, please help me.

Mummy needs to rest now. Anakanda is sleeping, better catch some sleep while I can.

Updates..updates!

Hoho.

The blog is suffering from an Ice Age era, but spring is on the way!

I know, it's been erm.. a while since the last time I scribbled here. My last entry was exactly 10 days before HnyB was born. Siapa sangka babyku mahu melihat dunia 4 weeks earlier that the EDD? Her EDD was yesterday, Feb 14th. Only Allah knows best, right?

Alamak sekejap, nak change diaper HnyB.

Ok, done. She's rengek2 now and Opah is kind enuff to entertain her pulak. Buah hati intan payung Opah sekarang, malam2 nangis sure Opah yg tejage dulu. Hehe.

Post-partum updates - me currently berpantang at Perak, and today is day-30 already! huyeah! another 2 weeks to go before this 'regime' ends. I kinda enjoying my routine now tho at first I felt like living in a communist era where there's so many do's and dont's. But now it works well with me, nak jage badan kene la berpantang sikit bak kate Che Ham the bidan. Hoho.

Labour room story is on the way. Susah jugak nak berblogging while having a little princess around. To finish this short entry, it took 1 diaper change, 3 bf sessions, 1 lunch, an afternoon nap with princess and bathing her. So we are looking like another one week before I could finish an entry on my labour room experience.

Welcome to the world, Maryam Nadirah Muhammad Nizar! Pic was taken @ PCMC, on our last day. Nadirah was 7-day-young.

How time flies

Time flies faster than light. Do you believe it? I do.

Why?

It was like yesterday we sent mak at the Kel4na J4ya for her Hajj trip, and she' s now on her way back to Malaysia! That's super fast! And I just wrote only 1 entry between the period! HoHOoHo.

I am now entering my 35th week - having hnyB in my big tummy. Fuh. 5 more weeks (or less!) to go. Cuak giler. Day and night, I'm thinking of how to get this cute baby of mine (and Abi :-) out of this body. Hope when the time comes, the process is smooth sailing and Abi will be around with mummy in the Labour Room. Aminnn. Anyway, Abi and Mummy have bought lots of cute stuff for HnyB and mummy is buying more now. Hehe. I just lurveeee window shopping (online) at the comfort of my own house (and office too..erk..) Yeah, mummy has paid for the priceless BP, hopefully it's 'rasi' with mummy. Habis gaji sebulann dol. Hopefully it will arrive by Chinese New Year ^_^

Imah is now safe and sound in Kuch1ng, S4rawak and she's prolly be there for another 3-4 years. She got her first ever posting there after completing her DPLI last December, same goes to her fiance. All the best sista! C yah around end of the month ni, I-Allah.

Epoi is having ANOTHER test today. Being a medical student, he's having like tonnes of tests and I couldn't differentiate one from another. Every week is like another round of test. Good luck bro. That's what Allah has for you and I'm pretty sure you have the strength and courage to pursue this.

Ok, better has something than nothing, right.

Let us all pray for our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Moga Allah hancurkan puak Yahudi dan Zionis.

Dari Allah kita datang, padaNya kita kembali

Again, I've successfully procrastinating myself from updating the blog. Oh well. Busy engineer ;)

Last 2 weeks, MrJ and I took a bus-trip back to Sitiaw4n. We were on a mission of bringing a Hujjaj (my mom) to KL (for transit) before embarking on a meaningful journey 'Kembara Mencari Redha Ilahi' di Tanah Haram.

It was a short trip home, but we managed to drop by @ YobZi's house, visiting We, ('we' is pronouns like 'were') mak's eldest sister. We also visited abah, after so many moons of not going to his new home. He is already in his permanent resident, whereas us, still counting days before the death angel greets us for the first and the last time. "Ya Allah, hidupkan kami di dalam iman, dan matikanlah kami di dalam keimanan yg jitu kepadaMu."

Mak closes friends and neighbors came to bid farewell before we left for KL on Sunday morning. Some shed few tears. It was even more tragic when the rain started pouring soon as MrJ's started to reverse the Kembara out of the porch. Phew. Mak overnight at our house for 4 days, and on Thursday, we send her off to Kompleks T4bung H4ji Kelana Jaya. It took us 2 long hours to reach KJ since it was past 5pm. Heavy rains and massive traffic jams, only God knows how we felt at that very moment. Alhamdulillah, I'll always think ahead when it comes to food. This madam had borong RM20 worth of goreng pisang, goreng ubi and cok kodok. Hehe. So we munched those full-fat, full-cholesterol food while listening to 93.9fm about the Mumb4i's bombing whilst outside, it was raining cats and dogs and cars were moving slower than snails.

When we arrived, Azan magrib is on the air. PakTeh's and his big family were already there. At about 915pm, mak, pakteh, makteh and makteh's brother and her spouse entered the gate. The gate that will direct them to an unforgettable journey, noninterchangeable experience and unspeakable memories. All the best mak. I'm always praying that Allah will give you good health to perform the 5th Rukun Islam. Amin..


Selamat berwukuf di Arafah this coming Sunday. To those who are not performing Hajj, let us fast on the Arafah Day.

Nabi SAW bersabda tentang kelebihan hari Arafah :

"Tiada hari yang lebih banyak Allah membebaskan hambanya lebih dari hari Arafah" (Riwayat Muslim).
