Tak sabar nak Raya...

Aidilfitri tahun ini..

1. Baju raya kitorang sume tempah. Tahun ni sedondon kaler purple. Rayyan tersipu2 malu bile dia try baju dia coz sume orang puji hensem. Yang peliknya, baju yang i tempah ukur badan tailor tu jahit nampak besar lak. Dahla, lengan dia panjang. Tapi, nenek i n makcik2 i hantar kat dia sume xde komplen. I memang xsesuai tempah baju kot. Baju beli dah siap lagi fit. Takpe, dia cakap kalau besar lepas raya hantar balik alter. I no hal. Silap2 xhantar sebab masa raya mesti makan xhengat nye..

2. Kasut raya xbeli lagi. Susah gak nak cari kasut cantik tapi heels xtinggi sangat. Tak larat nak kejar or dukung Rayyan pakai heels. Lagipun, akak ni terkenal sebagai 'Orang yang rajin jatuh kat tempat awam'. Contohnya..

- Jatuh kat dewan makan kat sekolah dulu. Tu pun kat tepi dewan tu je. Tapi bunyi dia memang satu dewan bole dengar..

- Jatuh kat 'ma-plair' Bangsar dulu. Konon2 control cun. Sekali amik ko terpelecok kasut sangkut kat tutup parit..

- Jatuh kat depan umah sedara raya 2 tahun lepas depan sepupu2. Nasib baik dorg lg muda so tahan ketawa la. Albir dah terguling2 dah gelakkan i..

- Last but not least, jatuh kat jejantas Puduraya. Masa tu memang i mengaku salah i. Jalan belakang cikgu laki ni, pastu dalam hati ngumpat2 cikgu tu coz cikgu tu perasan dia hensem. Skali nak turun tangga boleh jatuh sampai cikgu tu kena tolong angkat. Yang bestnye, ada pulak pakcik kat situ bole cakap "Oh, memang selalu orang jatuh kat sini".. Tu memang malu tahap gaban laa..

Aritu crocs ada buat warehouse sale. Gile berbaloi coz kasut Rayyan rm40 je. Terus borong 2 for each size sampai dia besar. Budak tu memang suke pakai crocs. Yang xbest, bole dia panggil crocs tu selipar! Pastu penah la gak belikan dia kasut ala2 crocs tapi imitation. Baru 2,3 jam pakai dah melecet. Budak ni memang xbole pakai imitation.. 

3. The thing to look forward to this year is our family gathering my father's side. Arwah ayah dah meninggal masa i Form 5 so raya memang dah tak balik belah sana. This year, they are planning to gather on 2nd raya. Besar-besaran siap bukak khemah n makan2 lg. Best2!! So plan tahun ni tukar sikit. Tapi yang penting dapat balik raya. Yoohoo!!

4. Tahun ni tak tukar duit raya coz rupa2nya duit raya 3 tahun lepas ada lagi. Baru sedar kewujudannya masa kemas2 aritu. So tahun ni save budget sikit. Tapi still banyak jugak habis coz i bagi bukan je kat anak buah tapi kat sepupu yang xkeje lagi. Total dalam dekat 40 orang. Banyak kan..

5. Last but not least, nak wish all of u 'SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFIRTRI & MAAF ZAHIR BATIN'.. BERHATI2 DI JALAN RAYA & LOVE U ALL..

Gelora di Hati Sara

I don't usually watch malay dramas but lately i got hooked with a malay drama on tv2 played by Rosyam Noor & Fauziah Latiff. I like it because i like to watch Gee.. she looks so lemah-lembut & suci...

But what i can't accept is that the story is about a man with two wives... I really can't accept the reason that many men use to marry another which is that the wife can't give them children.. WTF?? That reason is so lame... Bukannya u all nak jaga anak tu day n nite pun...

If u really love a person, bukan ke patutnye u terima dia seadanya? There are other ways for u to have children... don't use it as an excuse for u to sleep with another person...

Even if the wife allows u to marry another, have u not considered deep down inside how would she feel? What if a woman is allowed to marry more than one, then how would u feel?

I've once heard about a real story about a couple who had 5 children and after the wife delivered the last child, she had uncontrolled bleeding and so the only way to stop it is to remove the uterus. They needed a green light from the husband to do it. Can u believe that the husband refused to sign the consent? Of course, she can't have children after that but which is more important, more children or your wive's life? Eventhough he refused, they managed to go on with it. The wife was saved. Do u know what the husband did? He went and DIVORCED the wife!!! What is he trying to prove?? He already has 5 children. DId he think about the wife or the kids? No, he just thought about himself...

I'm just writing this cos i feel so emotional when i watch the story.. I can really feel the hurt deep in my heart.. Not just a mild one, but the real pain.. Entahla, PMS kot..

So, saje je nak cite pasal drama ni... Banyak lagi citer2 sedih lain.. Tapi lg byk citer2 best macam Adamaya aritu... Suke tgk Lisa Surihani tu although dia kena brush up acting skills dia.. Budak pompuan tu pun cute giler.. Betul ke dia anak Afdlin Shauki?

Rayyan's 2nd Birthday!

Hello everybody!!!

I'm back and i'm well. Alhamdulillah i recovered from the Bell's Palsy. Although not 100% but i'm grateful that i can smile and no visible residues seen on my face. Thank u all for praying for me and for the love and wishes that u have given me.

So last Sunday we had a birthday party for Rayyan Sophie and his cousin Batrisyia Sophia. Their birthdays fall on the same day only Batrisyia is 2 years older than him. Plan awal sebenarnya nak celebrate at our condo tapi oleh kerana malas nak cari kerusi n meja so we had it in mantin. Teringin gak nak jemput clown tapi dah last minute so none was available. Seperti biasa sesi potong kek, gossip n makan mesti ada. The best part was sesi exercise naik basikal. Menggigil gak tangan ni sebab dah lama tak bawak.

Yang x bestnye, our camera rosak pulak aritu. The LCD monitor pecah. Tak taula pasal apa. Takde lak kamera tu jatuh. Hopefully the warranty covers it. Kamera tu baru 7 bulan. Kalau mahal nk ganti spare part dia, alamat kene beli kamera canggih yang besar gaban tu.. So if u guys wanna see the party pictures, u can go to my facebook in pics added by others. Some of the pics are there..

The next day we went to Genting. Since the day before tido kul 2 pagi, punahla harapan nak bangun pagi. Bertolak dari mantin kul 1.30 tghri, sampai dlm 3.30 ptg. We went with my mom and Eiman Mustaqeim, cousin Rayyan. We got rooms at First World Hotel for rm25 a night! So we took 2 rooms. The promotion was only for superior room but they gave us a room with the Genting Theme Park view. Berbaloi giler! So after check-in, we lepak for a while in the room then headed for Indoor Theme Park. My mom wasn't feeling well. Mainly because she didn't get enough sleep. So kitorg berempat je yg explore malam tu.

The next day after breakfast maggi, we checked out in the afternoon & headed to Outdoor Theme Park. We had a blast. Although a few adult rides were closed for maintenance, the kids rides were mostly opened. Siapa sangka Rayyan pun pandai naik rides tu. But the thing that he enjoyed the most was the koi fish pond. Berplastik-plastik beg makanan ikan bapak dia beli. Ikan-ikan tu pulak nampak macam setahun xmakan. Seronok la Rayyan sedekah makanan kat dorang.

Then we took pictures with the birds. Ada seekor burung parrot tu garang giler. Dia duduk atas bahu albir and started biting on him. Initially, gigit manja je pastu gigit betul sampai luka tangan albir. Dalam betul dia gigit sampai skrg stiil xbaik n bengkak. Nak menopause dah kot burung tu..

Sedar tak sedar, we stayed there till the park closes at 7pm. Had dinner then baru balik. Overall, memang fun and bole plan trip naik Genting lagi. I prefer weekdays when its not crowded. I hate crowds especially with Rayyan around. It can just be a day trip unless dapat offer bilik murah lagila. Siapa nak join??

This is the view from our room...

Bell's Palsy

Do u know what Bell's Palsy is?

It's a condition where one half of your face muscles are weak or paralysed. It's sudden and caused by trauma to the 7th cranial nerve. The cause is unknown although it may be due to a viral infection or stress. The face will have a similar resemblance to the face of a stroke patient.

Do u know why i'm suddenly talking about it?

Because currently i'm having it! It started on Wednesday when i felt bitter taste in the mouth. I thought that i burned my tongue after drinking hot milo in the morning so i ignored it. That night i felt the right side of my mouth twitch uncontrollably for about 15-20 min. Still i ignored it. After waking up from sleep on Thursday morning, i noticed that water came out from my right nose while brushing my teeth. Then, i also noticed that my right eye closes slower than my left eye.

Did i panic?

Yes, i did! Although as u know, i should know what i was having at that moment, but i also knew that it could have been something even worse. So i went to see the necessary specialists (neurologist & ENT) and they confirmed my condition. I am now on Prednisolone (steroids) & Acyclovir (anti-viral).

So, how bad is it?

My right eye can't close properly unless i do it manually. So everytime i wash my face, it hurts. Thank God i don't have corneal damage.. I lost my sense of taste on the right side. So food don't taste so good. But maybe this way i can lose some weight..Sometimes i can't eat or drink properly. Saliva just dribbles out of the corner of my right mouth especially when i sleep. I am also very hypersensitive to loud sounds. When somebody laughs or when Rayyan cries, i'll get a sharp pain in my right ear and headache. And i'm starting to have neck and back pain. This may be because i overstress my right facial muscles.

How do i feel?

Initially, shocked, sad and depressed. But now, i'm starting to accept it. I'm trying to adapt to it. Maybe it's God's way of punishing me. Maybe it's also His way of reminding me not to forget about him and to be thankful of everything that i have. One of my friends told me that may be it's also His way of telling me that i need to get some rest. I have been overstressed lately. Stressed up to the point where i can't control myself and broke down in tears in front of my friend.

What do i wish?

I hope and pray that i could recover completely. Most patients do recover completely and i hope i am one of them although some may have residual symptoms. I know that God is forgiving and merciful. I also wish that nobody out there suffers from this condition. The psychological stress might not be well coped by some people. But do not worry about me. I'll be fine, insyaallah. Thank God the condition is not that obvious. My face still looks normal. You can only see it when i blink or smile. Apart from everything that has happened, I still thank God that it's just a mild disorder and not something worse..

Oh My Jimmy... CHOO!!!

This is my version of the story lak..

Last friday the Expose girl/mommies kuar jln2. Excited betul.. tapi lawak gak bile dorg cakap nak tengok 'Pisau Cukur'.. Albir had the time of my life 'kutuking' me cos he knows i dun like Fazura bcos of the gedikness (btw Apies, aku xpenah lak prasan ko gedik mcm dia).. Tapi ku layan kan jua n the story turned out to be good. I remember the last movie that us girls watched together were 'Gol & Gincu' (Fazura lagi)... Best gak.. I think i'll reserve these malay chick flicks with the girls jela.. CCK said the bags that they used in the movie looked fake..

I felt bad when CCK lost her phone.. I know how she feels cos i lost my phone as well.. just 4 days before that.. Left it at a restaurant.. Apparently there are still a lot of people who are not honest in this world..

Makan2 at chilli's were nice.. The top part of our beef ribs were hard as stone.. Ingatkan bile complain kt manager bolela dapat yang baru.. Dia bole cakap memang camtu cara diorang masak.. Nasib baik their mashed potato still maintains its quality.. Sedap sangat sampai Shud abiskan sume walaupun dia xbrapa suka mashed potato..

The highlight of the day was when i kena NGORAT!! A man was following us from the cinema to the toilet. Shud sedar n tanya dia nak apa. He said he wanted to talk to me. So i pun tanyala..

Me: Ya, nak apa?

Man: Bole saya cakap ngan awak sekejap?

Then dia cakap ngan Shud & Sera.. (CCK dah masuk toilet dulu kot, tak tahan..) "Takpela awak boleh pergi, tak payah dengar"

Shud: But she is my friend..

Man: Tadi awak tengok Pisau Cukur kan?

Me: Ya..

Man: Boleh saya berkenalan dengan awak?

Me: Nak buat apa?

Man: Saya ikhlas nak berkawan dengan awak..

Me: Its ok, saya dah kawin & dah ada sorang anak..

Man: Takpe, saya tak kisah..

Me: Takpela, thanks..

And i straight walked to the toilet. Horror giler kan!! Manusia macam ni pun ada.. Nasib baik i ada besties there for support. Tapi dorang pelik gakla. They thought he was my friend. Luckily he wasnt there when we walked out. He thought that since i watched the movie, i am like one of the ladies in the movie. Sorryla, i'm not that desperate yet. Although financially cukup2 makan je, at least i'm happy. And i dont think i can entertain another person in my life yet. That's why Rayyan still has no siblings.

Last 2 weeks when i met my besties, Rayyan n Albir went back to JB. I couldn't follow them because of work (can u imagine that we have to come on the weekends just to cover the ward for 2 hours..). Then before balik tu they asked, "So balik ni nak buat apa?"

I said, " Banyak benda aku kena buat. Kemas rumah, basuh baju, tulis thesis & study.." And all these work are never ending ones. So even if the boys are not around, banyak lagi keje yang i kena buat. Seriously time is very precious for me. So that's why as u can see, blog ni pun dah lama i tak update. But i also believe that 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'.. So entertainment and time with family and friends are crucial parts of my life..

So sorry if i have been missing for a long time.. I am still in touch with you guys.. I still read your blogs and leave comments here and there.. I'll try to write a few notes whenever i can..

O&G Night

I know i haven't been blogging for quite a while now. Albir has called me 'The Monthly Blogger'. He loves to kutuk me when it comes to blogging. I have a lot of things to tell but somehow when it comes to blogging, i just couldn't find the time. Why? Coz i spend a lot of time just to write a blog. Seriously! I know bloggers usually just write whatever that comes through their mind but not me. I'm even the type of person who writes n then deletes. Mana x lama nk tulis blog. See, i'm even doing it rite now!!

Anyway, my department held a Dinner at The Le Meridien, KL Sentral on 20th June 2009. They have not had a dinner in . They used to have it annually but eversince the new HOD took over, all they had were dinners at the department. Since she is on sabbatical leave for a year, the Acting HOD quickly grabbed this opportunity to organize a dinner at a hotel.

So this year, all the staffs were very excited & each ward/clinic had to do a performance. Meanwhile, the doctors had to do a performance as well. Initially, there was supposed to be a performance from the specialists but somehow they backed out & so the medical officers had to perform on behalf of the doctors. And as u all can see, we are not really a bunch of talented people so singing, dancing & acting are out of the question. Plus, it would require a long time to practice so we decided to do the easiest performance ever which is the 'Fashion Show'. Yes, we get to be unprofessional models for a night. And yes, I was recruited to be one of them.

Our fashion show theme was 'Traditional Costume' and i was chosen to wear a cheongsam. It was i think the sexiest clothes that i've worn (in front of people that i know). I remember as i stepped onto the stage, there was silence for a while in the hall. Malu betul!!! Bear in mind that the people sitting at the VIP table were my consultants & examiners for my final exam, ok. Luckily, no disasters happened. (I was known to be very clumsy in public places. I actually fell outside the dining hall in Form5, tripped at the Maplair at Jln Telawi Bangsar & fell at the Puduraya pedestrian bridge).

The rest of the night was very enjoyable although most of the performances were quite redundant. Most of them chose oldies song to sing. A group perfomed the 'Tarian Pocho-Pocho' (all u government servants out there mesti tau apa ni). One of my Indian specialist sang a Tamil song and her voice was so melodious. She sounded just like Lata Mageshka (betul x?). And another Indian staff nurse performed an erotic traditional Indian dance. Boleh tahan menggugat iman gakla.

They gave out a lot of lucky draws but as expected i was never lucky to get any lucky draws. But i was lucky enough to humiliate myself again. This time i was chosen to take part in a game where we had to form a group of 5. We were given a song & we had to act like we were perfoming the song. I was chosen to be the singer and guess what was the song? Lagu ANITA SARAWAK!! Dahla makcik pakai cheongsam atas stage tu. Nasib baik menang!!

All in all, the night was very memorable. The only downfall was we weren't allowed to bring our spouses. Only specialists & consultants brought their partners. I hope they would do this as an annual event and i hope they would allow us to bring our partners.

The following week, i was greeted by very big & cunning smiles from the staffs. I know that they were thinking about that night but i wonder what was really going through their mind..

Some of the 'supermodels' of the night..

Syeda, me, Sharina & Kathy..

Dendam Si Fallen..

Last Wednesday me n hubby went & watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The movie was really good. And u get to see a lot of Megan Fox (although i really can't understand why guys think she's the sexiest female alive).

I mean, i can't see which part of her that is sexy. Her body is normal, her butt is normal and her face is also normal. The only thing different about her is her skin which i think was too tan and her lips which i think was over pouty and unnatural. I'm definitely not jealous cos i think Angelina Jolie is still the sexiest female alive.

Anyway, Transformers really brought back a lot of good memories during childhood. Do u remember the days when cartoons like Thundercats, Voltron & Smurfs were on the telly? We can actually proudly say that these cartoons belong during our time. I heard they are going to do a Thundercats movie. Really looking forward to that. Can't wait to see Lionel holding the sword yelling "Thunder, Thunder, Thunder..... HOOOOO!!" (over pulak makcik ni..) Have u guys heard of a different version of the Thundercats song which goes something like this..

" Thundercats lawan tikus, Thundercats mampus

Cheetara lari laju, tak pakai baju.."

Can u believe that albir too have listened to the song? And he was in JB wile i was in KL at that time. Weird, huh? I wonder who invented the lyrics..

So if u guys have the chance go and watch his movie. But grab your tickets fast as i heard they are selling like hot cakes.

I think Hugh Jackman would be suitable to play Lionel..

Tapi kalau Megan Fox pose macam ni, makcik pun tak bole tahan..

What's in a Name?

Last month when i was oncall, an actor came and brought his wife to the hospital.

The wife said "Dr, u look young. How old r u?"

The remark is actually not surprising as i usually get that especially when i'm oncall. Dunno if it's a good thing cos sometimes i feel that they don't trust me enough cos i look young. But i like to see the surprise on their faces especially when i tell them that i'm married with a child.

Anyway, after examining the wife, i had a different kind of response. And this time it was from the husband.

He asked, " So ur name is Dr E***? Isn't that a guy's name?"

Ok, it could have been a good pick-up line except that the wife was sitting right beside him :-)

So i just said "Yes, but when combined with S*****, it is a feminine name."

But how do u actually respond to this kind of question?

I have no idea..


Anyway, just finding a topic to update.. I'm oncall today n on sunday. Hope i can sleep well at nite. Planning to take rayyan out jalan2 tomorrow..

Also planning to go to Singapore for the Great Singapore Sale this month.. Gonna shop till i drop..

Kipas Jangan Tak Kipas..

Last night tepat jam 12 tengah malam tetiba takde elektrik kat umah ibu mertua ku.. Memula ingatkan adik2 albir main tutup2 karan tapi dorg pun tengah tengok Quantum of Solace. Rupa-rupanya the whole area was in darkness. Mula pening kepala pikir nak tido mana. Kitorang rasa bole tahan lagila kalau sejam dua but rayyan won't stand even 10 minutes of heat while sleeping Budak tu tido dalam aircond pun bole berpeluh.

So at first try la kipas budak tu. But then bila dia dah start guling2 so kitorang anak-beranak angkat bantal n selimut masuk dalam kereta. Ada gak terpikir nak tido hotel tapi takut penuh. Yela it was a long holiday so kitorang malas nak gi survey. We ended up sleeping in the car while praying for the lights to come back again. Dahla hujan kilat2 malam tu. Nasib baikla rayyan dapat tido nyenyak. Kitorang lak yang tak dapat tido sampai kul 2.Then luckily at 3.30am it came back again. So dapatla sambung beradu atas katil.

We actually received a notice that they were going to do some works and the electricity will be cut off from 8 am to 12 pm today. Tak sangka lak dorang dah start buat keje malam semalam. Arini pun dia potong api gak. But i think partly it was my fault as well. I tengah sedap ngumpat pasal blog orang to my sister. So dapatla balasannye cash. Cuma yg kesian orang lain pun kena gak.

Moral of the story is.. Kalau nak ngumpat, next time buat time keje so kalau takde karan takyahla keje..

Huahuahua...

Anyway tadi kitorang gi wedding coursemate albir kat Taman Molek. The funny thing is that dorang bagi kipas as ole-ole. Macam tau2 je umak MIL ku takde karan. Lawak gak..

Raja & permaisuri sehari Halid & Hartini..

The boys..

Rayyan the AC Milan star..

(ayah dia beli jersey dari Italy tu, kalau dah besar dia minat team lain xtaula)

Our 2nd Anniversary..

Yesterday was our second anniversary. Nothing special was planned. No gifts were exchanged, only wishes and 'aktiviti kekeluargaan'. Memang sejak kitorg couple, special events were not really celebrated. Birthday gifts pun slalu bagi belated.

But what matters most is that we are still together and is blessed with a wonderful son. Hopefully our marriage will last till the very end..

Anyway, sorry for the LONG silence.. Just didn't have the 'feel' to write.. Lebih suka baca blog orang je.. I'll try to be active again after this ye..

And u guys mesti nk tau apa jadi ngan flora cinta kitorg tu kan.. Hehehe.. TUNGGU..

Here are some unrelated pics yg dh lama nk post tapi xbole cos bluetooth laptop ni bengong aritu..

Rayyan buat muka boring cos ayah lock dia ngan seatbelt skali..

Kalau x jgn harap dia nk dok diam dlm keta..

Rayyan the Amil Muallaf..

Bagi rayyan try pakai petpet tapi xsesuai so rayyan pakai kt kepala je..

Flora Cinta

We went to Midvalley to do some banking and ate nasi lemak & asam laksa at Jusco. Personally, i think the food is not as good as before. While eating suddenly out of the blue hubby said, " I rasa nak hias rumah kita ngan pokok bunga la. Rumah kita nampak kusam.." Well, blame it on the plants next to us.

But actually it might be a really good idea. Like they say, berbudi kepada tanah pasti akan dapt hasilnya. Tapi ada jugak orang cakap kalau tangan u suwey, pakai baja apa pun sure pokok akan mati gak. Anyway, we thought we might try our luck. So kitorang pun belila 2 pasu bunga n baja bunga skali. Let's see what happens after this.. Maybe u guys can come to our house and see the fate of the flowers.. hehe..

Puteri Gunung Ledang

Last Wednesday we went to watch the musical theater.. Puteri Gunung Ledang. Imagine that it was all SOLD OUT! Luckily we bought the tickets early. We were supposed to go to Rihanna's concert as well last week but as u guys know she postponed it because of the stoopid Chris Brown. Well, Rihanna's acts might not be a smart one but u can never give an excuse for hitting a lady, no matter what they did.

Anyway, PGL was awesome!! The whole thing was really superb. Although there are a few things that they can improve like the songs. They are lovely but unfamiliar so i couldnt really enjoy it. They should air them on the radios so people could enjoy it more. Apart from that, i noticed that the dances during the second part of the show were a bit unsynchronised. Maybe its because the casts were practising everyday from 10am to 12am and they were all exhausted. And to Istana Budaya, please change the seats. We were practically sitting on wood.

All the main actors and actresses were excellent. Tiara n Stephen were both very good actors but i couldnt really feel the chemistry between them. Tiara had a very mature and powerful vibe but i felt Stephen was better suited off with a girl who's a bit more naive. But his voice is really good! All in all, they really deserved a standing ovation for their performance.

We had a few chances to watch musical theaters before in KL Convention Centre (all thanks to Bern by the way..). The first was Chicago. I've never watched the movie but Shah said it was exactly the same and it was really good. But the best theater of all was.. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! I loved it so much cos i grew up watching it. It brought back pretty childhood memories. And the set was fabulous. Did u know that the orchestra consisted of only 8 people? But still they managed to produce fantastic music. We even got a chance to go backstage. I wish they would come n do Sound of Music after this..

We went to Pavillion for dinner and found the best Fettucine Carbonara at the food court. I love the one in Italliannie's but this is way cheaper. Will definitely head there again..

Ada tokoh next Gusti Putri x?..

Rayyan's 1st birthday

Rayyan turned 1 on 8th Feb. We wanted to organize a birthday party for him but there was just too much planning to do so maybe when he's older we'll plan one huge one for him. But he did not just have one, but two birthday celebrations. But something new happened to him before his birthday.

He was admitted to UMMC last Friday. As u can remember, he is allergic to eggs and was due for his MMR immunization at 1 year old. So he needed to be admitted for observation. Alhamdulillah, everything was well. Tapi akak penat betul cos dia betul2 xdok diam. N it was just for 6 hours! He just slept for less than an hour. Luckily i keje kt situ so bwkla dia jejln round hosp.. tgk klinik, wad n ofis.

After discharge, we picked Shah up n terus bwk dia gi KLCC for pain therapy (but i think it was more of window shopping therapy for his mommy). He was still wearing his bracelet nametag at that time. Ramai gak tanya apa tu. So when i told them that he just got out of the hosp, sume terdiam. They must have thought that i'm crazy for bringing out my son when he just got better. I just like to see him wear it for the day cos i never wanna see it on him again after this.

Shah treated us at Chilli's. Berbaloi gak cos kids meal is free n byk mana la rayyan bole mkn kan? Anyway thanks Uncle Shah! Dah besar sikit rayyan bole demand toys lak. Then we headed back to Johor the next day n celebrated with in-laws n family. He was not in a party mood cos satu hari xtido so mengaruk2. Tapi sempat gakla potong ice-cream cake ngan ayah dia.

Happy Birthday Rayyan! We're gonna have another birthday celebration at the end of the month k. We love u so much n wish for u all the best things life has to offer.

Food at Chilli's.. Rayyan was so excited dpt mkn mcm2..

HIs 1st bday cake.. Notice the bracelet?

Back at Johor.. melalak bile kena pakai party hat tu..
