ameerah tasneem and me

I love this pic very much...
After 6++ years of marriage, she came to us on 3rd Feb 2009 at 1.10 pm at HUKM.
Of course we are happy and so does everybody around us. My pray that she will always be healthy, and be a good muslimah and hopefully we are able to guide her.

Today, she just 13 days old, and still a long way to go. ....

demam

If i remember correctly i never got any fever since i came to doha since january 2007. it has been 2 years anyway, and i never claim insurance on my name. I was fasting yesterday and got back home early and prepared my meal. I had sup tulang and the fried rice. I invited Khai to join me for bukak puasa. Then i just be in front of my notebook and kept on browsing while chatting with Mel and stop once we started word fighting. so bad isn't it? Then i decided to sleep at 10pm as i planned to wake up early this morning which i did. However i was shivering at 4.30 am; not because the temperature was very cold but i was having fever. I went to toilet for a while and back to bed again. Then i woke up at 6 for Subuh and looking for Actifast panadol, which I failed to locate it. I called Mel and being sissy to her by telling that i was having fever. She just said, it could be god punishment ;-) which i guess very true for a few things I did. I apologized to her and praying to God to get better. I had my shower and stopped by at pharmacy while on my way to work. I had my nasi lemak too at taste of asia. 2 tablets of Actifast for me and i'm hoping getting better. I bought 3 nasi lemak for my malaysian friend as well as a repentance. Poyo ja.

I was second to reach this room today, and started my daily routine. Usually it just last for a few minutes and I had nothing much for the rest of the day... No more to update because I have nothing interesting to share today.

sudah sejuk..

yesterday, i started my day quite late. I settled 2 months in advance of my tida (latio), handed over the house contract and browsing doha looking for pet shop. The first shop was closed so i decided to google at home. I read a few review about the pet shop and none of them recommended any. I really dont care as my intention was looking for tortoise to replace the dead one. It wasn't mine. it belongs to my friend's daughter and they asked me to take care of it while there were on holiday. It survived for 4 days in my hands, and perhaps it was fated that it just had a short life :-)
I buried him peacefully crossing over of my parking lot. So I managed to get replacement today before their return on 10th. HaHa. I will tell them later ;-) or they manage to find out by looking at it.
The weather was nice and my favorite sweater could not be used anymore as the temperature getting colder. It is around 11-12 degrees now and i should be thankful because "own" left one due to excessive luggage that he had last week. He asked me to bring it back which I will but let me use it first. For ladies, it could be good time for them to look fancy and funky with your winter jacket now :P Surprisingly the guy sits next to me just have T-Shirt over him. Me my self starts thinking of having glove. HaHa

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

spice up yr life!!

dah nak bersawang? eh blom lagi.
i donno what to write. There's no color in my life lately. After 6 years of waiting, i miss the moments. I dont feel my baby is kicking. Only Mommy keeps on updating me. How many kicks for today? Perhaps I will feel at the last bit.
To be frank since last august, everything runs smoothly and once in a while there is a hick up which u can easily swept away. I have been here for 2 years and basically I'm pretty happy what God gives me. Now I'm thinking to move on. I couldn't be like this for the rest of my life or just simply follow the flow. I have to chart my future, work and pray for it. I have a big dream which is not easy for me to achieve, so at this particular moment I have something that I have been hoarding for my career advancement. I keep on looking and hunting now. KL office is not eager to have me for other posts. Just back to old post and doing the same crap just bring me nowhere. In 2 weeks time they will renew the contract here, and if things do not go well i just need to abide and keep on hunting the best possibilities back home. Yeah.. pray for me as I have one call interview from KL this week and hopefully everything will go well and will keep me going. It's a challenging job but I believe everybody can do it if they have the chance to do it.
Mel decided to stop working for at least another 1 1/2 years if I back to KL. She plans to take care and breastfeed the baby. It sounds good isn't it. I'm happy for her too. It just that I need to earn a little bit more, so there will be no money issue. Crap if you say money is not important. at least you have to maintain what you have now. Of course I couldn't expect to get the same amount like here and we got to be rational if we decide to be back. Mel as usual is a long supporting wife really understand me. She won't ask something beyond me. HaHa, so I guess "Guess" is the best brand in KL. Forget "coach" and never dream of LV or Burberry :P Unless your husband has a fat wallet.
We will keep the same car and the same house.. Living in KL is not bad at all.. Let's pray.

This was in my email, could be helpful to us. As a precaution kindly check with the doctor.

Remedy

Lady Finger for Diabetes

Note: This is a mail which I have received from a friend and do not know any one who has tried the following remedy. Though you will learn, it is not harmful,

Please note that another name for Lady Finger (Bhindi ) is " OKRA ".

Last month in one of TV program I learnt of a treatment of Sugar
(Diabetes). Since I am diabetic, I tried it and it was very useful and my
Sugar is in control now. In fact I have already reduced my medicine.

Take two pieces of Lady Finger (Bhindi) and remove/cut both ends of each
piece. Also put a small cut in the middle and put these two pieces in
glass of water. Cover the glass and keep it at room temperature during
night. Early morning, before breakfast simply remove two pieces of lady
finger (bhindi) from the glass and drink that water.

Keep doing it on daily basis.

Within two weeks, you will see remarkable results in reduction of your
SUGAR.

My sister has got rid of her diabetes. She was on Insulin for a few
years, but after taking the lady fingers every morning for a few months,
she has stopped Insulin but continues to take the lady fingers every
day. But she chops the lady fingers into fine pieces in the night, adds
the water and drinks it all up the next morning. Please. try it as it
will not do you any harm even if it does not do much good to you, but U
have to keep taking it for a few months before U see results, as most
cases might be chronic.

new visa ruling

I visited UK once, and 3 times to EU. It is a privilege holding Malaysian passport as we did not require any visa to be there.

Frequent traveler would be more happy because they could save the pages.
Now, Malaysia is in their final attempt to convince UK, not to impose a Visa towards us. As accommodating Malaysian :P we will not retaliate if they still wanna impose a visa for Malaysians.

It would be a big loss to Malaysian because there is concern EU may follow suit.

Should we blame overstayers and the counterfeiters?
