update lerr

Mel text me just now and asking me to update my blog. It almost a month from my last entry. I had one interview which i guess i didn't make it. Then I failed to get what I want in KL. I dont have much choice left. There are rumors KL will be badly hit next year. Since we live in state of speculation it could be true. It used to be true at least.
Most likely I'll still be here. I just agreed to be here and my superior in Dubai promised me something new for my career. To good to be true but let's see how it goes. Let me cool down for a while, so I could sort things properly. Mel is expecting by end of January, my sister and brother in law are getting married. I need to be back and most importantly I have to be by Mel's side. Mel keeps on talking to our baby to wait for me. Mel went to Pantai Cheras last week to see 3d ultra sound. Prof at HUKM too busy to get that fancy machine. Anyhow we still prefer him as he knows details of Mel. She went there just to see Amyrah. The doctor said the baby would be a girl ;-). It doesn't matter as long the baby is healthy and cukup sifat semua. InshaAllah. Mel started to buy everything in pink. I bought a couple of stuff at Carter's sale last week.
Once decided to be here, I called my ayah, to get his restu to continue my life here. he keeps on insisting me to be back. He seemed not happy at the beginning, then I called him again to cheer him up. I used to do that to my late mom. sob sob sob. We chatted for quite sometime; talking on kakak's wedding preparation, living cost at Grik as the price of rubber is going down hell. It reached RM4 ++ once, now it is arond RM1. Then he passed the phone to my adik, and we just rambling. she convinced me to pass over her sister allowance to her instead. This little girl is like a princess in the family. Everybody in the family knows her well. There will be special entry for her later HaHaHa. i cannot tease her much, else she will scream loudly and the last resort she will use the father.
After many times having teething problem with Mel on our parents to be status, we finally agreed to be called ABI and MOMMY. no change on mommy side as mel insisted to be called that way. She wanted me to be called DADDY which i rejected it for some reason. the reason coming from Padang Jeri I guess ;-), Then Ayah, Abah, Papa wasn't endorsed by Mel, and suddenly Zapri came into picture. His daughters called him Abi. at first i didnt know what supposed to mean. HaHa. Hey studying or living in arab country doesn't make u any better in arabic LOL. Anyway Abi and Mommy is kind of match. Deal closed!!
will update u more if i have something in store :P

Hello, haziran!

Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. The hair on her scalp is sprouting. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, taking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.

mom-to-be gonna be home soon.

The check up went well yesterday. We glad to see the baby is active and keeps on jumping. Everything is fully formed, moving very well and the heart beat shows that he is healthy. But his mom doesn't look well. eat less and nauseate all day long. At this moment we are not sure either boy or girl, but we refer it as "he" first ;-). After 6 years of waiting, we just pray that Allah will give us the best zuriat to us. As of yesterday, he's exactly at 13 weeks and 4 days. ( 3 months ++ ). Mel's weigh is loosing. it started at 49 then slowly decrease to 47 and yesterday it was 44.5 . According to our gyne, it's normal for the first trimester, and hopefully her all-day-long morning sickness will be over soon. Mel kept on asking the doctor. "so the baby is healthy?" ."you see, he's jumping" We spent for quite sometime checking the baby on ultra sound. The doctor has been nice too, explaining the fully formed baby to us. It's miracle because the size of the baby just 2++ inches.
Then after the check-up, the doctor advice Mel to take more water because she looks dehydrated by looking at her dry lips. I pity mel because it's very hard to get malaysian food. I tried to cook but it didn't taste good and Mel said "tak payah masak dah abang. tak sedap".
So far I'm OK with all comments from her :P. Luckily i don't have to sleep outside, we just need to have some border and I'm trying my best not to cross the border. She conquered all the pillow and left one with me. Once in a while she will push my face aside because she smells garlic?? Huh !!. HeHe. Sometimes it's funny looking at her. Some friends reminded me, it will be 9 months of hell for you. HaHaHa. No lah. when we played card, she wanted me to lose, and would stop the game if i won. We have a board game that we used to play every weekend with our friends here, and I will remind her not to play if her intention is to win. else everybody could see your pregnancy emotions. Not everybody has the empathy feeling. So be carefull !! ;-)
Then, the next question from Mel."am I safe to fly now? I want to fly back in two weeks times". "OK you are safe to fly now. 2 weeks times should be fine because you just passing the first trimester. Take aspirin on the day of flying. stop folic acid and start taking materna. you may get all the lab report and bring it home. I'll be taking leave too." Ok mom-to-be gonna be home!!.
Once home (rumah kat sini laa), I got Mel's year end ticket and her "no-show" ticket to bahrain and went to Qatar Airways. I checked the price from the internet first and 16th august is the best date to fly. HeHe because the price is a bit low ;-) i save a bit because i just need to top-up the difference by canceling the year end ticket and getting some refund from "no-show" ticket. She will be flying on 16th August at 2.20 pm and InshaAllah will be arriving at KLIA on 17th August at 3.00 am.
I believe every parents-to-be would have a plan what "title" to be called. Mel has been planning for years to be called Mommy :P and I insisted to be called "Ayah" only. But every single day now, Mel is calling me "daddy". "Daddy, nak air.. baby nak air" How am going to turn over him soon :P. It would be funny if the baby address me "Daddy, nak ayaq" HaHaHa. It's a long way to go, let's see who will win the battle.

Just couldn't imagine, back to Padang jeri and my baby call me "daddy, lapaaa laaa" Hahahaha. At this moment let the mommy wins because that is the best for her. Seeing her happy is the best thing in life. It just that, since she got pregnant, Mel no longer dress up like she used to be. No make up, and simply clad any "indon" tudung when going out. for the next 6 months everything is OK for you lah ;-). Once baby born, don't look "slebet" anymore :P

Here, I would like to thanks to everybody for praying for us, and keeps on praying and hopefully we will be having a healthy baby and the best zuriat from Allah. To our families, we have no intention to hide but we have our own reason to do so. Although we are very happy now, we still couldn't get rid of butterflies from our tummy until the baby is born. Let's pray together....
