Durian oh durian ! :)

Salam

Ada sebalik cerita durian dalam family aku, a.k.a keluarga HH...

I have one sister in law, NA, yang berasal dari Felda Palong, N9... married to my younger bro last 2 years... Satu-satunya menantu perempuan dalam keluarga aku (untuk masa ni...).. Tgh tunggu abang sulungku utk settle down, hanya TUHAN saja yang tahu bila masanya... hmmm.. ::sigh::

Still remember the 1st time my younger bro, MK, introduced her to my family... Agak terkedu bila aku melihat wajahnya apatah lagi personaliti yang agak... wooooo... mesmerised! Lagi satu aku agak close ngn MK but dia x pernah mention apa2 ttg NA sebelum ni...

Ok.. lets make it short... apa kene mengena dgn isu durian ni..?

Satu hari, sebelum MK brkahwin NA, MK membawa durian satu guni selepas pulang dari kampung NA di Palong.. Yela masa tu tgh syok bercintan lagi, so selalulah MK offer NA ke kampung.. Katanya NA's parents ada kebun durian, rambutan & lain2 lagi di kampung...

Aku happyla sbb aku suka makan durian... :D

But, me & the whole family was shocked.... Kami berpaling antara satu sama lain... Only one sentence in our mind which was "OMG, his future wife is KAKI MAKAN DURIAN ke??!!"

I believed mesti u all akan tertanya kena-mengena DURIAN & NA??

To tell u the truth, adik kesayangan aku tu memang tak makan durian.. dgr durian je dia la orang yg pertama akan lari termasuk la ngn my beloved father, HH pon anti-makan durian!!! Bau durian kat dalam rumah, mereka berdua ni akan bising..LOL! Wah... tapi ada kekasih yg hantu durian, sanggup bawa balik satu guni... bayangkan perjalanan dari kampung NA ke KL mengambil masa dalam 2 jam... Tak tahula macam mana MK buleh tahan ngn bau kan..?? Xpe, cinta punye pasal, bau durian sanggup ku redah! :D

:: Flashback about 20 years ago::
Aku teringat, aku makan durian di belakang dapur bersama aruah mommy, kakak (JH) & abang sulongku (GG)... So kami empat beranak having happy-hour eating it before ayahku pulang dari surau..
Oh ya, masa tu HH (ayahku) ada buat rules, saper nak makan durian, kene makan while he's not around in the house.. Teringat satu dialogue yang masih bermain di kepala ku ketika itu:

Aruah mommy: Eh, mamat (MK).. Meh-la join makan durian kampung.. sedap!

MK: (Dengan membuat memek muka) Uwekkkkk!! Hidup mati semula pon mamat takkan makan tau!!

Aruah Mommy: Wah action-nya! (dgn pelat singapura)... GG!! LEKAS, hambat kaki mamat tu, mommy nk 'celet' kat mulut dia ni! (sambil gelak2)

GG: Ok mommy! (terus lari kejar MK)

Masa tu GG, aku & JH rembat MK... Kami adik beradik gelakkan MK. Apalagi, MK menjerit2 macam apa je pleading to release him ASAP!

Aruah mommy: Mamat buka mulut!! Kalau tak, mommy sumbat!

MK: (sambil meronta2) X nak! X nak ! Sorryla mommy , sumpah mamat tak buat lagi!

So, we all pon lepaskan MK sambil gelak2 besar! Tapi mak aku agak nakal, sempat lagi 'celet' sedikit durian lalu ke pipi MK.. Apa lagi MK berlari ke toilet mambasuh pipi..

Aruah mommy: Mat! nanti kau da besar, mesti dapat bini yang hantu durian...

:: Memang sah-sah, adikku seorang tu da terkene sumpah mak aku, dapat bini kaki durian! ::

Morale of the story:
Jangan membenci sesuatu terlalu sangat, nanti kene muka kepala sendiri.. kan..? :D

Teringat2 suatu ketika....

Semalam bersama WN & HP geng... menonton movie Talentime, filem Yasmin Ahmad yang terbaru

I'm writing with a quite dramatic feeling inside.. Just to share with all of you.. :)

Satu babak dalam movie tersebut yang amat menyentuh hati :

::Scene: Di hospital, seorang ibu yg sedang belenggu dgn barah otak ditemani oleh anaknya. Doktor memberi suntikan kepada ibu yg sedang sakit::

Hafiz: Doktor, ibu kelihatan semakin sihat, dia semakin pulih ke??

Doktor: (menjawab dengan bahasa agak kasar) Bukan sihat, tapi disebabkan steroid sbb tu badan naik. She's not getting better either..

Ibu: Hafiz, pegila balik, pegila practice untuk talentime nanti.. Hafiz xkan sanggup melihat ibu nanti..

Hafiz: Tak mengapa ibu, Hafiz akan bersama ibu...

Ibu: Hafiz, Ibu mengandungkan Hafiz sewaktu ayah tinggalkan ibu... (Silent for a moment) Hidup Ibu terus kelam.. Gelap.. Tapi bila Hafiz datang ke dunia..... (aku da tak ingat apa yg si ibu perkatakan kepada anaknya but all I know it was something touching and meaningful, teringat kpd seseorang that I really missed so much)

::......................... paused and silent .......................::

Suddenly... pipi terasa basah... OMG! Keadaan ibu yang di lakonkan Azean Herdawaty reminds me of someone... It was MY LATE MOM... The scene described almost similar condition like my late mom on her very last days; battled with cancer, bedridden, completely bold covered with scarf, constantly put on weight eventhough x makan sangat , frequent throw up lepas makan, perut kembung, hardly speak well. And, the worse scenario was, being injected with steroid and morphine every day.. and.. that moment we all knew that its time for her to go...

Tapi itu semua da berlalu 5 tahun yg lepas...

Its best for her to go than seeing her so much in pain and sufferings.. Yet, still feeling empty without her being around... One good friend used to tell me, hilang bapak tidak terasa sangat if dibandingkan kehilangan ibu.. Eventhough I'm already 30 years old, married & a mother to be, but still, without her being around, its feels like one space yang telah di-vaccum, macamner puas u cari, you can never find that space again...

Life goes on without my dearest mom... Kepada semua di luar sana yang masih ada ibu, appreciate your mother while she's still alive..

Apa2 pon I enjoyed watching that movie... A lot of domestic issues being highlighted while watching it...

Admitted less than 24 hours at Ampang General Hospital

Salam all..

Alhamdulilah resting at home & been discharged from hospital yesterday..

Actually I was planning to go & watch fot Teater Laksamana Cheng Ho that nite, but Tuhan tak izinkan.. Something else happened for a good reason..

The chronology of what happened before & after admitted to Ampang Hospital.

14th March 2008, Saturday:
5.30pm:
Sms-ed hubby while he's on his way home from Seremban, told him that i got sharp pain at lower abdomen, feeling some kind of contraction.. While waiting, I wrote down the timing & the frequent of the contraction every 6-8 minutes... God knows how I felt...

Around 6.30pm:
WN got home, he looked rather relax but couldn't remember what he said to me. Me, was sitting on the bed, hanging on to the breath to ease the pain as i have the guidance book beside me. He called his mom, advised us to go to clinic for further check up. Reached at nearest clinic, the doctor couldnt do much, she advised us to refer to the hospital. The pain is healing slowly, but WN urged to go to hospital, Hospital Ampang la paling dekat..

7.00pm:
WN dopped me at the emergency room, as he need to park the car... Luckily I have the 'buku merah' with me... The hospital attendance rushed me (on the wheelchair ) to the WAD BERSALIN immidiately. Lama jugak tunggu doctor ni, i think after 30 mins , the doctor showed up... Explain what happened, she immdiately examine me here & there.. Ya ALLAH!! sakitnya bila dia 'chot' & put something into my vagina.. Its one of the procedure to check what really cause the pain.. She took sample from my vagina & asked me to past urine.. She suspected probably its URINE INFECTION that cause the pain.. She asked the nurse to send the sample for a test..

Could not reach WN as the reception was bad.. Went to the waiting room outside, WN was there waiting for me.. Told WN about it .. IF its true the urine infection that cause the case, I will not be admitted.. The doctor will gv some prescription than we can go home..

9pm (while waiting for result at TV area):
The doctor came, she told me the urine test was clear.. She said it was somthing else, ada jangkitan di dinding faraj, so the case needed to referred to the experts- Gynecologist. The case refered as 'vagina candiasis'. So I have to be admitted for closer observation.. My heart was beating fast... I did cried a bit, worried, panicking, terus risau that anything will harm my baby inside..

The nurses calmed me down as they gv me 'baju persalinan'. The bed is ready for me.. They told me not too worried too much as we will take care of u... YA ALLAH! Macamane nak bagitau hubby ni...

The nurse took me to the bed on the wheelchair again.. I saw WN still waiting for me, he ikut sekali to the ward.. I told him what happened.. He looked still relax and tried his best to calm me down... Inside him, only GOD knows.. I asked favor to get me something to eat as both of us were hungry.. He asked me wther I need anything else.. Yupp of course, all the basic necessities please... he knows what to bring for me..

My dad reached at the hospital, but too bad, he can't get in, the visiting was over.. He advised me to recite one para from Surah Yassin, but being tired & bercelaru, I could not remember apa dia dia suruh baca..

Few minutes later, the Gynae came, did an ultrasound scan on me... everything was in good condition in my tummy.. The baby looks fine.. She told me the gender... and its tooottttt!! Rahsia.. She told me that I will start on antibiotics & will monitor me whether I'm still having the contraction throughout the night.. I feel so much relieved after that..

10.45pm:
WN came back with yummy food while I was comforting myself on the bed.. Kesian dia.. Dahla hujan lebat.. I bet dia pon belom makan lagi.. he brought the necessities stuff for me... I LOVE U, BEE! Told him what the Gynae said... Then, satu makcik guard came us, told us dgn sopannya that the visiting hours has over asking WN to leave ...

Throughout the nite:
Could not sleep well, as all my roomates as they were 3 of them was waiting to deliver their babies... I felt so 'insaf' looking at their condition nak bersalin... Terbayang semua dosa-dosa with my parents, husband & siblings... huhuhu.. Some of them having some difficulties & complications during pregnancy period, all i can say, its worse than me... Ada yang terpaksa 'induce awal' before the due date because of anaemic, ada yang being bedridden for the last 4 months because of weak womb... dan macam-macam lagi...

The nurses checked on me every one hour to make sure that I'm ok.. Alhamdulilah no longer pain on me.. Wished that I was at home... Still trying to get some sleep... Then, biasala dikejutkan dgn my roomates yg sakit nak bersalin... InsyaALLAH Harap2 tuhan akan memberi kemudahan for me & baby when the time comes..

15th March, Sunday
7am:
Breakfast sampai... served nasi berlauk and coffeee?? Pelik sungguh hospital ni...
Waited for Gynae to come... Nurses doing the normal routine, checking my BP, jantung anak & etc... While waiting, I had a chat with roomates, sharing experience, etc.. Other than that, untuk menghilangkan bosan, I put on my MP3 player, dgr surah2 suci Al-Quran. :)

10.30am:
Still waiting for Gynae.. WN smsed me whether i still need anything as he will come around 12.30pm.. Feeling hungry, but nothing to eat... look forward to see WN and the munchy stuff too!!

11.20am:
Gynae finally came, examined me here & there again... Alhamdulilah, I'm ok, so I can be discharged today.. She said today is the last day I'm on antibiotic, its a precautious step not to harm the baby inside... But, I was a bit frustrated when she told to PANTANG makan.. Dahla tgh craving for a lot of things now.. Sabar je la.. Anyway, i'm taking it positive for the sake of my baby.. Nanti da keluar dari perut, harap2 janganla buat hal dgn mama and abah ok... Love u baby!

12.30pm & above:
WN came. Glad to see him.. I told him that I am feeling much better & i'll be discharge today..

My dad, brother & his wife with their baby came... They were impressed with the hospital, eventhough gomen.. Yela hospital umor x sampai 2 tahun semuanya baru & cantek... Equipement all up-to-date.. hehehehe

The nurse gave surat discharged.. Packed my stuff.. Checked out & settled the bill at the ER counter with WN... Harganya keseluruhan hanya RM18 ok..? WN mcm x percaya... hahahaha

3pm..
Sampai rumah... Great to be home again.. Watching TV & had a chat with WN... Few minutes, tiba2 rasa penat & mengantuk... I slept.. pukul 6pm baru bgn...

Now.. still recharging.. Badan still rasa x fresh as usual.. tak tahu kenapa..

Walaupon satu malam di hospital tapi membawa seribu makna for me... :)

Had an early dinner & log chat with them.. I really enjoy seeing her... and the day too... ooo I've been blessed... ;-)

So thats all for today.. mata pon macam da x larat ni... Salam...

Shocked and pity with Hasnah Burdges..

Salam kembali..

Someone forwarded me an article about a Malaysian woman yang murtad yang kini bermastautin di USA... The article comes with a picture of her & her confession being Christian, which was live recorded di satu perhimpunan di Kansas, States..

I listened to it carefully with all d things she said.. Shewas raised in a muslim family, she was the eldest child in a family of 12 children... Berasal dari mana, tidak diketahui... Bapanya yang 'kaki abused & alchoholic' eversince she was young makes her life in poverty.. Itu membuatkan dia kurang berpengetahuan agama, apatah lagi pegangan agama yang kurang diterapkan semasa beliau masih kecil... Apatah lagi being the eldest in family, kemungkinan beliau tidak mempunyai sesiapa lagi yang boleh beliau mengharapkan tunjuk ajar tentang akidah & tauhid being a a practice Muslim kecuali her existing parents...

She sounds like a smart woman.. ooo she does.. looking at her raut wajah, aku keliru, kerana tidak ada iras keturunan melayu langsung, sudah macam mat saleh saje... Her english, is so sooo american dialect... Berpendidikan tinggi dari University Kansas, USA dan sekarang sudah bermastautin serta mempunyai career di sana ... Boleh dibanggakan sebagai rakyat Malaysia, apatah lagi seorang anak Melayu....Yelah itu rezeki orang, bak pepatah 'Hujan emas dinegeri orang, hujan batu dinegeri sendiri'..

Tetapi sayang, itu hanya, HAK DUNIA yang beliau miliki sekarang.. Hak AKHIRAT untuk Hasnah hanya ALLAH swt yang berhak menentukannya.. Mungkin beliau terlupa tentang wujudnya dunia dan akhirat.... atau ntahla... Aku masih ingat lagi, bapak angkat ku pernah berkata, sesiapa yang murtad adalah disebabkan bisikan Iblis yang 'hebat' membuatkan beliau terpesong serta merta... Dengan itu, sesiapa yang tergolong dalam kategori ini, sama sekali akan menempah '1st Class ticket to....... tahu kan destinasi mana nanti kan..??

Ada satu petikan lagi , Hasnah berkata untuk menjadi umat yang baik adalah membaca Al-Quran dan sembahyang 5 kali sehari, tetapi bagi dia membuat amalan2 wajib seperti itu tidak CUKUP untuk membuatkan dirinya dekat dgn Allah, bagi beliau lagi, dimana Tuhan untuk menolong dia semasa dalam keperitan & kesusahan... Astagfirullah...

Apapun beliau tidak menukarkan nama kepada nama lain, masih mengaku sebagai Hasnah.. Hasnah bermaksud 'Beautiful' didalam bahasa arab... Tapi itu hanya nama zahir beliau, secara keperibadian adalah sebaliknya, beliau amat bangga menjadi seorang Kristian... Beliau berkata lagi, hidupnya sekarang adalah lebih baik & bermakna setelah mengenali Jesus....

Aku kesian dgn perakuan beliau... being such a smart woman, boleh senang sahaja di 'brainwash' akidahnya.. Inilah ujian untuk Hasnah & sayang seribu kali sayang, beliau terkandas kerana tidak mampu untuk menghadapi ujian Tuhan....

Aku disini bukannya nak mengumpat pasal anak orang lain, apa lagi aku yang sedang mengandungkan anak pertama ini.. What i'm trying to say is that... Alhamdulilah, dengan nama suci Allah swt, pegangan agama ku masih lagi kuat sebagai seorang Islam, walaupun kadang2 terleka dgn tanggungjawab sebagai hambaNya.. Aku bersyukur kerana aku mempunyai ibu bapa yang mengajar & menerapkan the understanding of Rukun Islam & Rukun Iman... Bagi aku itulah 'basic fundamental' yang seseorang Islam perlu faham dan sebati di dalam jiwanya.... InsyaALLAH Tuhan akan terus mengurniakan taufik & hidayah kepadaku dan keluargaku serta bakal2 anak2 ku nanti...

I wonder how does her family reacted, apatah lagi ibunya yang prnah mengandungkan beliau dulu.. Aku berharap Tuhan akan mengurniakan taufik & hidayah kepada Hasnah supaya kembali ke pangkal jalan sebagai anak yang solehah... Ya-Rabbal-Alamin...

A day at the baby shop...

Salam..

How shall I start now...

Alhamdulilah... Since it 3 moths to go before my 1st delivery & we both managed to save some money, WN & I decided that we should buy some baby stuff...

Last Saturday, me & WN went to one baby shop which is nearer to our place.. So, apa lagi.. we all belilah baby stuff yang patut... At first, when I stepped into the shop, rasa macam x percaya when, WN excited to buy the stroller.. betol ke mamat ni beli hari ni juga, So I called one of the promoter & ask him to do the demo handling the stroller.. After that, we agreed to buy it.. Its quite an affordable price and it looks like one of the McLaren's brand yang aku suka.. It's quite handy, easy to fold & easy maneavure... tapi 'makan space' sikit letak dalam boot kereta kenari yang agak comel itu.. ;-)

I do have a list, but to tell u the truth, actually I don't know which one should comes first.. So biasala, I asked ppl yang sudah ada experienced being the first mom-to-be... WN agak 'focus' and 'alert' what to buy & always giving suggestions we should get this and that as compared to myself (the one yg agak BLUR eventhough I'm the one who holds the lists)... hehehehe

These are some of the stuff that we bought that day :

Beli pack kecik dulu, takut x sesuai utk baby nanti..

kena pandai adjust baby carrier ni..

On sunday, we went to Jusco AU5 pulak... we all pon tambah barang baby apa yang patut lagi.. So I think there's more things to buy in future... OOOO yess bought some undies too, since the bulge on my tummy getting bigger.. heeeheeee

One more thing, this feeding set we got it for our wedding gift actually, so no need to buy.. hehehe :


Salam.. watch out for somemore..
