Before and after!

 Last December, on a Christmas public holiday we had a family excrusion.

Nowhere fancy but it was awesome!

 

One of my uncles, Uncle Dillah owns few (yep! few large ones) fruits farms or in malay we called dusun buah and 1 day he invited my aunt's (my dad's sister) HUGE family (from the first born aunt to the youngest uncle's) to his dusun and collect/eat/get whatever fruits (local fruits) your heart desire!

 

For a city girl (like myself), it was a memorable (and sweaty) experiences.

 

 

..the early birds..

still looking fresh

.. some of the dusun are accessible by cars but most are not..

so most of the times we parked our cars and walked

 

I only managed to get few pictures as I was busy chasing after fallen durians LOL!

 

So that was what I did on Christmas day

... and the next day I checked myself into the ward...

 



 

I had to undergo a minor surgery (which I hope so).

Considering my surgery was scheduled for the next day,

I asked to go for home leave after the anesthetic checked me out.

 

I went to the operating theatre around 9am and I'm back to the ward at 11.30am. I was still a bit dizzy as I requested for full anesthsia (which I regreat while I was in the OT).

 

In the OT, the anesthetic couldn't find my veins! For those who doesn't know me that well, I'm so freak out at the thought of needles pricked into my not-so-smooth skin.

 

First poke, couldn't find the veins.

Then "Sugiantie, I will insert another needle"

I said "OK" trying to be brave!

Second needle, still couldn't find my veins!!

Then " Sorry Sugiantie, I will insert another needle"

I still said "OK" but I already made up my mind to postpond my surgery if the 3rd needle won't go thru'

 

So after 2 anesthetic doctors searching for my veins,

after 3 needles (and that doesn't include the morphine they poked into my butt before the surgery),

with the mask and not even at the count of 3, I was in lalalala land... zzzzzzz

 

Next thing I know, I woke up in the recovery room, my BP was low and the OT nurse asked the ward 12 nurses to monitor my BP.

 

With a urine bag attached to 1 side of the bed (it's so unproper to post the picture here) and saline drip on other hand, I was practically stay in bed the whole day. Eat, drink, pee (in the urine bag) aaahhh... what a nice life (NOT!!!)

 

Mum and dad stayed with me the whole process.. thank you mummy, daddy!!

Brothers, sister-in-law, aunts, cousins and of course my BFF with hubby and Wazif,

thank you all for coming and visit!

And to my fiancee, who was all the way in Japan,

thank you for calling and for the concern!

 

That night, I couldn't sleep!

Maybe it was my first time staying in a hospital bed, so I might be not comfortable.

Or maybe I was without my favourite pillow, hence I'm restless.

 

By 1am, I was shivering that I can even heard my teeth clattering... seriously!!!

I was shivering so hard that even my bed was shaking.

When I couldn't stand it no more, I got up (darn! I couldn't find the call button), dragged myself to the nurse station (with pee bag in 1 hand and saline drip in another) and asked for panadol.

 

I was having a high fever and my BP was low again.

Given panadol and ponstan to lower my fever.

So after 3 layers of blanket, a jacket, panadols, ponstans and antibiotics,

I was sweating like a pig came morning.

 

The doctor said, if my condition improved, I can be discharged by afternoon.

Mum came, saying she was restless at home and when she found out I was having fever, she was worried. Mum's instinct!!

 

With Mum and Dad by my sides, I was getting better and by 2pm,

I was discharged!! Yeay!! Was on sick leave for a week and doing nothing at all!

Not something I want to go thru again!



Time for updates!!

Memoirs of Eid

 An overdue post but then it's better than nothing, right?

Here it goes..

It's our turn to host the "makan raya" for this year, so I only managed to capture few pictures

 

... the siblings (minus Adi who was visting the in-laws)...

 

... dad with all his granddaughters...

 

... with the cheeky Cha Cha...

 

Only a week into the Eid that I managed to go to few friends' places..

 

 

 ... first Eid with Wazif and the only way to lure him to other people (apart from his mum, grandma and dad) is by bribing him with books...

... with my oldest BF. Could you believe it that we haven't meet each other for (like!) 5 years when in fact, we live 15 minutes from each other...

 

Eid is always a good time to meet and catch up with old and new friends.

Hope to see more of my friends in the next Eids.

 

p.s no picture of me and fiance this Eid as he was working. Of course I'm a bit sad that we didn't be able to celebrate Eid together as this would be our first Eid since we got engaged but then I accepted it long ago that, with his job, there are some things we won't be able to celebrate together. But he always make it up whenever he's home =D



The bright calm blue sea!

I always love the sea.

For me the sea (and oceans of course) are very unpredictable.

But whenever my fiance is working (like starting yesterday), sometimes sea can be my greatest fear for he is out there.

The picture was sent to me by my fiance, knowing how much I love the sea and ocean...

Updates to update

... if you get what I meant.

 

Been an inactive blogger for the last few months, I have few updates to blog about.

Well, the first and foremost important 1 would be my engagement!

Yup! If you haven't guess it just yet, I'm officially engaged but I'm gonna hold the juicy details for now.

Why? Because I left my hard drive at home and I have no pictures to show you guys off.. LOL!

So be patience readers.

 

Then there is the Eid Mubarak.

Gosh! That was ages ago but as I said, I have some stuffs to update.

 

Now, what else?

I'm trying to recall what else to update you guys with.

 

Oh yea, followed the engagement, comes the wedding.

We set a date already but I'm not gonna reveal it here just yet. After the FINAL confirmation, then I would announce it.. LOL!

But we are already starting to make preparations.

My preparations? Let's see, I bought bridal magz... lots of it. Initially I just want to get an idea on where to start and what to start with especially on the bridal gowns. But now with so many bridal magz laying around, I'm starting to get confused ^_^

Could you believe it?

Fewh!

 

And my checklist.

Now let's not start on that.

*taking a deep breath*

Everytime I'm thinking about my impending nuptial, I got palpations.

Nervous? Jitters?

Too early for all those, I think.

 

First on my checklist = lose weight!!

 

Wish me luck guys! 

Story of my short getaway

I miss blogging.

Ok, let me rephrase that.. I miss update my blog.

Been a long time I properly update my blog and somehow it makes me more like a quiet person (haha! yea right).

 

So, what's up with me lately?

Let's see...

As usual, been buzy with work. Work, work and the never ending work.

I come in early and go home late but still the work never lessen. I wonder why?

 

But with work, there is also pleasure.. khehe.. wow! never thought that sounds kinky.

During the 3-day Eid Adha holiday, me and my fiance went for a short trip to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and met up with my family there.

 

Now, it was to be a simple getaway; get in a plane, dad fetched from the airport and shop, shop, shop and more shopping till we either drop dead tired or broke!

 

But it was not that smooth. Our 25-minute flight from Brunei-KKIA was delayed for 5-freaking hours! In total, we were in the boarding area for 7 hours! Delayed was caused by the closure of KKIA due to "power failure". We ended up arriving at KKIA around 11pm! What's worst, we were in the same flight with an entourage of chinese tourists who talked non-stop and loud. So loud that the KKIA immigration officers had to order them to be quiet.

 

With all the shopping complexes closed when we arrived, we settled for McD takeaway. Ate our supper and sleep.

 

The next day, me, my fiance and brothers went for a swim (we rented an apartment with swimming pool). It was cold but suprisingly refreshing. An hour in the pool, we went up to the apartment, take a proper bath (not together of course!), got dressed and let's go shopping!

 

Our 1st stop would be breakfast. Then we start hitting the shopping complexes in 1Borneo; proceed to Suria Sabah, The Centerpoint and Warisan Square. By the time we came back to the apartment, it was time for dinner. We went for seafood (as my dad and fiance are a huge fans of seafood). When we were done, all the shopping malls are closed so it's back to the apartment.

 

But you think that we would just stop at that? Of course not! With pains on both legs, we walked from the apartment to the Warisan Square again (just opposite of the apartment) for a good hour of reflexology! Now, I'm very ticklish so I would avoid anyone touching any part of my body (seriously!) without any solid reason. But when you walk like I walk and you shop like I shop, man... you don't care who touch your feet as long as it's soothing! That day, I trully understand what it meant, "shop till you drop" coz when we came home, we were fast asleep.

 

Woke up early the next morning coz dad would be sending us to the airport. Our flight was in the morning and just to makesure we get the front seats, I did online checkin the night before and wah! we were seated on the 3rd row... away from those (loud) chinese entourage! Yay! Considering that all our stuffs were in my dad's car, we were the first to walk out of the arrival hall with nothing to declare. As my brother, Andy said (who fetched us from the airport), "You guys look like a couple going to the mall."

 

It was hectic, of course but it was fun!

It was my first getaway trip with my fiance and I enjoyed it wayyy too much; which is a good thing, right coz to really know a person, you have to travel with them.

 

Our next holiday... soon! =D

Happy Birth-Day...

Ah!

Another age...

Am I getting wiser?

*thinking*

*still thinking*

*and still thinking*

 

Oh well... it's just a number.. LOL

 

I had a breakfast with my parents on my birthday. Love them so very much.

And my ex-boyfriend (LOL!) treated me to a birthday dinner in one of the hotels in the capital =)

 

Thank you baby for the lovely surprise

and what can I say about the present...

You know me sooo well...

Muahz!

Here we go... again!!

Just a week to go before I celebrate my birthday and less than 2 weeks before my short get-away trip,

I'm down with a flu again.. or so I thought.

 

Couldn't handle the headaches, runny nose, chesty cough and watery eyes,

I finally (fewwhh!) seek the doctor's advice.

The doctor dignosed me with a severe sinusitis and being a very good doctor, he even sketch a diagram of my nose and made it nicer.. LOL!

 

But this diagram is not what he sketch. Trust me, doctors aren't good as artists.

But the idea of what he's trying to explain to me was the same.

 

Basically I had excess mucus and he listed all the things and stuffs I should avoided in order to 'heal' my allergies... which is almost like everything in my surroundings!!

Remember I once posted an entry where my sinus will definitly kill me....one day.. it might just happened..

 

Oh well... I can't stay in a sterile environment all my life. It would be dead boring.. haha but the other option is more or less the same..

 

Currently, I'm still stuck with my excess mucus; my fever on and off and headaches, gosh, let's not dwell into that.

But...

Mama's love is very unconditional.

At my age, my mummy still nurse me... yup! She sponge bath me (seriously!); she cooked me porridge when my throat can't take solid food; she changed and launder my bedsheets, my comforter and my towels; she massaged my throbbing head; she hold me hands when I'm too weak to walk and put me in bed and Alhamdulillah, with my mummy's unconditional love and attention, I'm slowly back to my normal health...

Love you Mummy...

And my Daddy... who kept on nagging, asking me to see the doctor and take Adem Sari..

Love you both!

And... definitly not forgetting my ex-boyfriend ;)

Who managed to drag me out of bed on Sunday and brought me to the clinic; bought porridge and soups for my painful throat and for keeping me company the following day..

Love you too! 

Adi's Sanding - 3rd June

Couldn't believe how long it took me to continue the entry on my brother, Adi's big day!

But here it is (finally!)

 

Considering the bride's home is in the neighboring country, our reception started early.

But I gotta salute my mum's side of the family (they are chinese) and they came an hour early before the reception!!

Will be back blogging soon....

Don't fret! I'm still alive... alhamdulillah =)
Been super buzy lately and with my laptop being infected with virus, it's kindda make me demotivated to blog... if such feelings ever exist.. LOL!
But insyaAllah, I would be back to the blogging scene soon and gosh! don't I just have lots catching up to do...
In the meantime, be safe peeps!!
