I woke up this morning with a deafening sound in my head, shouting “Naa…!Naa…!”
Others may find it annoying.
But to me, it's the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.
It's the voice of my little Anis, trying to wake me up (her version of "mama").
p/s And of course, that sound come with a smack on my face...but who really cares? :p
A very belated New Year wish from me…
Everyone is making their new year’s resolution; I don’t want to be left out.
So, apakah azam tahun baru saya?
A cliché statement would be : “My new year’s resolution is to be a better person, a better daughter to my parents, a better wife to my husband, a better mom to my kids, a better employee to my boss.. bla..bla..bla”. Yelah tu…
Hmm, what do I want to achieve by end of 2009? Let’s see….(not in priority order) :
1) To pass my assessment and gets promoted
I went for the interview last year with other 3 colleagues of mine, they all passed except me. Nak kata I did badly, takde la sangat (I think), although ada one tiny mistake I made during the interview. Hmm, so not fair (sejak bila pulak life ni fair kan?). Anyway, my boss who was also the interviewer tried to pujuk me (kononnya) and told me that for the bad thing that happens to us, there’ll always be a good thing to come. Hmm..sure did! A week later, I found myself pregnant with our second child. How’s that??! And that beautiful thing is lying next to me right now…so adorable…:)
2) Kuruskan badan (sambungan dari azam 2008)
Takde la sampai nak Heidi Klum’s body or Erra Fazira’s, but as a lady who still wears her maternity pants, this had to be put on top of my priority list. Weight is really not the issue; it’s the flabbiness that’s bothering me. I envy Rasha who came back from her maternity leave, wearing kebaya to the office. And Hana, a mother of two who doesn’t look like one. And me? I can’t even squeeze myself into my old jeans! (Perlu ke beli jeans baru???)
3) Upgrade my Kelisa (read : Buy a new car)
Boleh ke masuk ni dalam resolution’s list? Anyway, as a proud owner of a yellow Kelisa for more than 6 years, I think it’s the right time to get a new car, don’t you think? Mr Husband is against this, for now….at least. Perhaps this can wait another year, tengok la macam mana nanti…..:p
4) Update this blog more often (Although rasa cam susah je)
There you go! Whether those will come true or not, we just have to wait until end of 2009 to find out....*wink* wink*...
Macam pernah ku lihat lubang hidung ni..tapi di mana ya??? 
1,2,3...say BUYATTTTT.....
Birthday Cake for the Birthday Girl
The food - everything ordered
Many faces of Anis, from Day One to One year old...
"Bila Kak Nani nak start cuti ni??? Sarat sangat dah saya tengok"
"Bo (udoh) la tu, bawak2 la bercuti...."
"Bila due ni? Nampak terik (tegang) dah perut tu"
"Besar perut ko kali ni eh? Bila nak cuti?"
"Dah berapa minggu ni? Dok rok (tak larat) dah nampak"
I've been getting those kind of questions for the past few days...Memula tu bagi jugak la polite reply kan...like..
"Insyallah, minggu depan last la, pastu ambik cuti, balik kampung"
Or...."Itu la, dah tak larat gak ni...."
Tapi bila ramai sangat dah tegur...
"Ala, relax la, baru 36 weeks...."
I really do appreciate the concerns. Berat mata memandang, sesungguhnya berat lagi perutku ini...Nak kata baby besar, takde la sangat. Last (2 weeks ago), doc estimate baru 2.4 kg. Tapi perut memang nampak cam dah nak meletup. Allahualam. Asalkan baby ni sihat and selamat, I don't mind carrying this weight for another one month....

I’m very happy to get to know that my frens are still checking out my blog for updates…Ingatkan dah jarang update ni takde la orang nk visit :)
They said, this is the only way for them to know my keadaan semasa…Maklumlah, nak ber-email pun jarang dah la ni. Apatah lagi bertelefon. Everyone’s busy in their own kinda way…
So, to please my devoted readers (ecece…), here’re some updates for your reading pleasure….
On myself....
o Hmm… What is there to update? I’m still working here in Kerteh – it’s been 6++ years already (can you believe it???!!!). Dari zaman anak dara, sampaila kawen, anak sorang, la ni dh nak masuk dua…Huh, my life had changed a lot for the past 6 years, heh?
o Work as usual is STRESSFUL! With the current organization structure, I have 4 bosses to report to! Even for a simple report, I have to get approval from 2-3 bosses, and if I’m lucky, I can get it done in one review. If not, kena buat over and over again until all the bosses puas hati. And you know la, each boss pulak ada interest memasing, so nak kena please them all. Most of the time, you can’t lah. My immediate superior always said, when they give me task, they want to see whether I sink or swim. Macam mana la nak swim, kalau ada about 10 tasks in hand, semua high priority pulak tu! Crazy!
o I turned 29 last August. Also in the same month, was our 2nd year anniversary. We did not celebrate extravaganza-ly though, just a nice and quite dinner at *****. Mulanya plan for vacation, tapi with my third trimester pregnancy, plus Little Anis yg semakin lasak, we just had to postpone the trip. Hmm, nampaknya kena tunggu anniversary yg ke-10 baru boleh gi jalan2 kot.
o I’m now 8 months pregnant. But my perut looks like I’m about to meletup anytime soon. My back, hips and legs ache so badly nowadays. Jalan sikit dah mengah. Berdiri tak sampai 10 mins dah semput. But alhamdulillah, puasa boleh lagi. Cuma pagi2 tu budak kecik dalam perut ni tendang tak ingat punya la...Hehehe...lapar la tu. Last year in Ramadhan, I was pregnant (with Lil Anis) as well. Dah 2 tahun takde baju raya (yg glamer). So I told Azmir that nxt year I want to have 9 pasang of baju raya for myself (3 pasang x 3 tahun), so he better starts saving now. But he just laughs.... Cheh! Ingat orang main2 ke?
o Insyallah, my EDD is on mid November, 16th to be exact. But that’s just estimate. Lil Anis dulu keluar lambat, kena induce sebab dah exceed due date. Tolak cuti raya, ada lebih kurang 5 minggu lagi nak kerja. Pastu I’m gonna take MC and balik kampung, and wait for this little baby to pop out. Counting days…
o I’m still driving my yellow Kelisa. I want to upgrade the car actually, but Hubby said takyah lagi. That car can be used utk gi jalan dekat2 or buat gi pasar… But my yellow car tu is manual-driving, dah penat sebenarnya bawak manual ni. Tu yang nak tukar ke auto tu (and dah alang2 nak la beli kereta yg bagus sikit..hehe). Tapi sejak Pak Lah and kroni dia increased the petrol price (not-so) recently, terpaksa la postpone dulu plan tu. What a hurried (and dumb) decision the Abdullah’s government had made. Now the crude oil price had gone down, they reduced the petrol price to win back the people. Nampak sangat masa buat decision dulu tak pikir panjang.
Just a little updates on Lil’ Anis….
o She is now 11 months old! What can I tell? She can tatih now (read: so lasak). Kalau dia nak tatih, dia akan cari kita punya thumb utk hold on to. And sambil tatih, suka nak pegang barang. One time, she tried to carry her beg baju. Beg tu lagi besar dari dia okay…Bercita2 tinggi btui.
o She makes alot of sound, that only she can understand. Sometimes she talks to her self or nyanyi sorang2. Bila dengar lagu, dah pandai goyang buntut.
o Her parut is still very visible. Kadang2 tu Nampak cam crook (Mat Komeng) pulak. Poor little girl. Dah penat taruk ubat, tapi tak nampak cam hilang pun. It’ll take some time I guess…I hope.
o She likes to watch Astro Ceria. Her favourite program? Postman Pat, Jim Jam and Sunny, Roary the racing car….. All because dia selalu bangun awal pagi, and we let her watch the cartoons while we are getting ready to go to work.
o Gigi dah enam batang (4 atas, 2 bawah). Da tumbuh sejak dia umur 8++ bulan. Gigi lain macam takde progress pun nak tumbuh...
o Dah pandai kiss mama and papa dia. Bila cakap ”Kiss mama, Anis..” dia pun datang and letak kepala dia kat muka kita. Kiss in her own way la. Okayla tu...ade la improvement.
o Dah kenal cat (kucing), lampu, kipas, bird, and a lot of other things... Bila suruh “bumbum” dia terus baring. Bila tgh main telefon mainan dia, and kita cakap “hello”, dia pun letak kat telinga dia. Bila pegang sikat, and suruh dia sikat rambut, dia letak sikat kat kepala dia...
o Pantang tengok cermin, mesti dia sengih and gelak2. So perasan, I wonder where she got that from....
o Suka main cak2. Sampai senget2 kepala.
Wait..My God! Dah almost 1 a.m. I better stop now, kang ade yg tak bangun sahur karang. Till later….Selamat berpuasa….:)
