Di Ambang Kejatuhan US Ekonomi....

Dan ini lah natijahnye....

Bapak2 budak dan mak budak ni main2 pulak kat opes ye!!.. Hepp..hepp.. biasa dia tuh!! Nak kena buang keja ke??!!! Tau la US economy tgh recession now... korang takde keja la tuu... Nanti gua report kat Big Boss... ntah2 big boss dia yg snap gambar nih kot?!.... hehehh...

I received this pics from hubby at work thru skype yesterday... when I was alone at home feeling "under the weather"... he tried to cheer me up. And he did make me smile when I looked into this pic and few others more.

Hari ni Abaji balik lambat... got dinner with the Boss and delegates tah dari mana tah... It's just 6.00pm... dia balik keja time2 mcm ni la slalunye... and I miss him already...

Abaji... I love U...

Rakan2... sila jgn muntah ye... bagi peluang aku berjiwang karat plak kejap... hehehhh...

Hari2 jumpa pun boleh rindu. Camna la rasa husband and wife yg duduk saperate sbb kena keja jauh2 especially kat oversea tu.... issyykk... semestinye memerlukan kesabaran dan pengorbanan yg sungguh besarr!!!!..

I have few friends who's going through this kind of challenge. Yes, to my friends the Mommy Vouge, Super Mom siann.. anak2 asik kuar masuk spital jer lately, Ibu Macho and Mummy Gersang hehehe... (guys.. u know who u are...), I mmg salute and respek giler la kat you all. U go girls!!.. be strong and may this temporary saperation will strengthen the bond between u and your other half. Semoga dikuatkan iman, dimurahkan rezeki, dipanjangkan umur and u all will be together again and live happily ever after... Insyaallah... Ameen... Seb baik korang ade anak2... tak la sunyi sgt kot?!

"Jauh di mata, dekat di hati..." :)

And Miracle Happened...

ALHAMDULILLAH...

HE tested me... HE loves me... (cilok Kak Gee's recent entry title in her blog ;))

I passed my exam (and Abaji too...), and I cried in gratefulness.... I'm a bit emo now...
Emakk... kalau dulu, berhadapan ngan time2 mcm ni mesti saya dah peluk mak... ni nak peluk Abaji, dia gi keja... nak peluk Hanna, dia skolah... tak kan nak peluk Nenet lak kot?.. isykk.. takmoh lah...

He tested us... in multiple ways... but never leaves us alone without strength to go through it. HE'S THE MOST MERCIFUL, THE MOST COMPASIONATE...

And I have to learn to thank HIM more and more... have to improve my solat, have to learn Al-Quran more... I found it easier to understand Al-Quran thru CIFP... have to strive for the better tomorrow so I can give more and expect nothing but HIS blessings...

Panicked Night!!

It happened 2 days ago.... At 3.15am Nenet knocked my door several times soo loud!!... aku yg demam selsema nih ngan teramat malas membuka pintu bilik to see Hanna covered with blanket held in Nenet's arms. "Ya Allah.... apsal nih?" aku drp mai2 terus cargass... Nenet kata Hanna sejuk menggigil-gigil... I took her in my arms peluk dia kuat2... Ya Allah... apsal teruk sgt menggigil nih... she was shivering so hard until I shivered too. Kejut2 taknak bangun... panggil2 dia tak jwb.. mata pun tak buka... aduhh... panic dah nih... I put her on my bed, woke Abaji up to take her temperature... hhmm dah tak demam, tp kaki tangan dia sejuk sgt... badan menggigil mcm main dlm salji.

She was caught with fever these few days... panas jugak but I didn't worried much because she was active and appetite dia pun bleh tahan... and siang tadi demam dia pun dah kebah... berjoget2 happy nak gi skolah esok (dah baper hari dah tak gi skolah... boring la tu...). Tp aku dah cuak ni sbb dia sejuk menggigil teruk sgt... demam kura ke ape nih?! Na'uzubillah... I put her sweater on, gosok vicks kat kaki, pakai socks tebal, balut ngan blanket lagi 3-4 helai... then baru la ok sket... a bit relieved when she nodded when i called her name. So, boleh la tido balik....

Tp kejap jer... pastu rasa dahi dia panas... makin lama makin panas... just imagine within that 10 mins temperature dia from 36 terus shoot ke 40?!! Alahaii... panic balik dah... sbb panggil2 tak jwb... mata tak leh bukak... aku cabut semua blanket, sweaters and baju dia semua... nenet menggelabah cari cold pack... aku dah nak nangis dahh... ajak Abaji bwk gi emergency... Tp ehh.. mcm nak bwk pagi 2 buta nih... kita mana ade kereta... aku agak riak lah gak dgn subway kat sini yg super convenient and super efficient kalau nak ke mana2, tak payah pakai keta... but now, I wish I had a car...

Baru terdetik nak call 911, Hanna bangun bukak mata cakap nak air, ahh... lega makk... gave her some water and put her back to sleep between me and Abaji... baru jer aku nak terlelap..... BLUWWEKK!!!!... dia muntah tersembur kat Abaji... seb baik dia tak tido ngiring ngadap aku... Abaji bangun sepantas kilat terus gi bilik air membersihkan diri. Tinggal la mak ngan Hanna atas katil tadah muntah dia... banyak giler.. melimpah2... abis separuh katil dah... dia muntah dan muntah terus... aku rasa sampai kosong isi perut dia... time ni aku mmg dah meleleh air mata... sayu hati tgk dia lembik lunyai sbb muntah bnyk sgt...

I washed her up, tukar baju dia get ready nk bwk gi emergency... tetiba dia dgn selamba mcm takde apa2 dia cakap... "Mommy... come go in front play with me... I wanna play puzzle..." Hahahaa... now I'm puzzled... anak aku ni ok ke tidak?!!... pegi kat depan main ngan dia jap.. pastu dia cakap dia lapar... makan biskut sket... then bagi dia ubat demam... then main puzzle lagi sampai abis subuh... and ddozzzzzz.... she went to sleep until 11am and missed her school again ;)

ALHAMDULILLAH... Now Hanna dah ok dah.. pegi skolah balik... tinggal la nenet pulak yg demam teruk tak baik2 lagi tu... hhmm... nasib la Abaji... layan kebab kat bwh tepi jln tu jer la sorry ye yangg.. i tak larat (a.k.a malas) la nak masak... until nenet regain her fitness to take charge of the kitchen again yg tak berasap2 sejak mak took over... hehehe...
