New Addition, Nayli Sakinah!

It was heavier and heavier. 30th April, we went to Dr Eleen’s clinic for weekly check. I was 38th week pregnant. She announce that the baby will be quite big, 3.7kg at the moment. It’s scary to think about the option for C-section. I hope we can deliver the baby normally.

So, this is Nayli Sakinah (My achievement, peacefulness) Our latest addition in the family. Alhamdulillah, safely delivered on the 1st of May 2012 at 5.19 pm, 3.65kg. Thank you very much to Dr Felice and the team (nurses) at KK Specialist. They are highly recommended. REALLY!

Will do an entry on the details later. At the moment, yours truly is a stay-at-home-mom for 2 months. Missing the reading-writing-research activities, but enjoying every moment with this little angel.

Reminiscence

12 years ago..

First day..

My darling Nurul.. 12 years old..  Happy Birthday dear. Luv u always!

31 weeks

We are pregnant. Again! InsyaAllah, this will be the 4th junior in our family. Unplanned, as usual.

I tried to keep it to myself for the first trimester, but of course, going into 2nd trimester, the baby bump started to show. Although, most of my friends sure think that I put on weight instead. Only after the 3rd month, I went to get the tested and yes, 2 lines appeared. Mixed feeling –

• happy to have an additional to our family,
• anxious to juggle study, motherhood and pregnancy,
• shy – can’t explain why I should feel shy. Maybe because one of my senior relate pregnancy with ‘productivity’. Haha.

Alhamdulillah, I don’t have any serious problem in this pregnancy. Morning sickness tu biasalah, kan. But my appetite is increasing.  (Who doesn’t?) So does my weight lah.. :( Within 31 weeks, I have put on extra 10 kilos!

I went to Dr Eileen’s clinic of King Fisher for monthly checking. She is the best choice, female doctor,  to have around this area. Besides, she is also kind and informative. The clinic is not so busy, so cut the waiting time.

However the next question is where to have this baby. The last two was delivered at the SMC, but considering the crowd there.. I am thinking of having it in another hospital. Thinking of Dr Felice of KK Specialist. Most of my friends said, she is good but too busy.  Called the clinic (088-230 011) yesterday and I can only squeeze in on the 4th April. That is on week 35. Harap2 semua berjalan lancar.

After having my 3rd child 5 years ago, it is quite an experience to be pregnant in this age. Tua sudah bah. Student lagi tu. Luckily, I don’t have to go to attend lecture. Or to give lecture. But, reading the articles, journals etc with this condition, is really a challenge. Mengantuklah, sakit pingganglah, malaslah. You name it. But no excuse. The time is ticking. Next semester (which is next week) is my 2nd Semester. End of August, I need to defend my proposal. Scary.

Oklah, enough for now. Will be meeting my BFF tomorrow to catch some updates.

Wish me luck and remember me in your doa and prayers

The One That Got Away

At the moment, this song is in my list. Originally by Katy Perry, but this cover sounds more pleasant to my ear. Enjoy!

Katy says “Sometimes you promise someone forever but it doesn't work out that way.” But I hope I am still his girl, in another life. *Senyum malu2*

1st Progress Report

 

Allahumma yassir wa la tu’assir

Ya Allah: Make things easier for me and don’t make them difficult

Forgotten all about the progress report. For a full time student like me, submitting progress report to the sponsor is very crucial. It can cause the delay of allowance payment and other important issues that will haunt you in the future. Luckily, one of my friends asked me about the format of the progress report and which remind me that I don’t have any. Nah, sekarang baru kelangkabut menyiapkan the executive summary.  

Later, after  I have finished the report, I will post it here for future reference. Ok, now I need to get back to the writing. Hmmm.. where should I begin…

..conditions are important for optimal productivity.. yeah, right…

Ada apa dengan Awan Nano?

Esok makcik ada presentation. Kena present progress phd bersama-sama dengan rakan seperjuangan MCG yang lain. Gerun. Idea, ada. Cuma tengah berserakan macam awan nano. Mau dianyam dan disimpul jadi satu idea yang kukuh. By hook or by crook, petang ini slide presentation mesti disiapkan.  (Jadi apa makcik buat menyempat lagi mencoret di sini..?)

Berbalik pada Awan Nano. Memang dari dulu, makcik Misako rasa pelik apa kaitan nano technology dengan awan.

Begitulah awan nano Setia melindungi diri
Tika panas mencuba menggores pipi Dan bibirmu

Tapi bila baca liriknya, Misako rasa apa yang ingin disampaikan adalah cerita mengenai ‘pelindung’ seseorang. Ibu bapa melindungi anak-anaknya, suami isteri menjadi pelindung pasangannya, sahabat yang sentiasa take care of each other. Pelindung yang ikhlas tanpa mengharap balasan.

Lebih sayu lagi bila dihayati cerita dalam video clip Awan Nano si Hafiz dengan bapanya Herman Tino ini.

Pemenang AJL 26

Dan semalam, Ceryl pengacara AJL 26 menerangkan, mengikut menulis lirik En Buddiey maksud nano itu sebenarnya adalah dari bahasa/dialek orang Johor (Johorian, can you confirm this?) yang bermaksud berserakan.  So, Awan Nano dari segi bahasanya bermaksud awan yang berserakan dan dari segi maksud dalam lagu ini adalah awan pelindung ;).

Kasihku Kasih tiada banding setia tiada tara
Bagaimanapun jua Aku pelindung dirimu sayang
Walaupun tak akan tercapai jejarimu

Bagi Misako, my parents adalah my first Awan Nano. Eh, macam ada air pulak bergenang di mata Misako.. Now, of course my other half is my Awan Nano,  kan Lai? and hopefully Misako juga akan jadi Awan Nano to my lovely children. Sampai bila-bila. InsyaAllah.

Lihat ke arah sana, Serakan warna dan berarakan.. Awan
Pabila terik panas, Segera hadirnya memayungi diri
Pabila kau dahaga
Sesegera turun hujan melimpahkan kasihnya
Pabila kau katakan, Akulah awan itu yang kau mahu
