Handbag story..

It's Friday again. The usual 2-hours plus unit meeting finally ended about 11.30 a.m. Sometimes I wonder why the Boss need long meeting just to tell us the same information over and over again. Being polite, most of us just sit there and listen. This time I got less questions compared to last month meeting, maybe because he is tired of blunt anwers from me.. hehe..



Yesterday, I walked to Nabilah's nursery to pick her up. Her father was late, overslept because it was a very hot afternoon.. headache and what nots. Kesian dia. When I arrived, she was drinking her milk with her fren, we called him 'Mamat'.. baik sangat dieorg tue. When she saw me, automatic she got up and want to go back-lah.. but no car, so, I sat down with her and Mamat. Somehow, I think, all babies and toddlers love mama's handbag to explore. And Mamat, innocently pulled my bag and started to explore. Seen that, Nabilah started her baby talk and expressed herself by crying to me.. and she even tried to get back the bag from Mamat. Wah, tarik menarik punye episode lah masa tue. Nak tergelak pun ada. When her father came, another episode of crying.. mengadu pasal Mamat tarik beg mak lah tue. She was sooo angry with Mamat that time. That's my adorable lovely 1-year old daughter.



Tomorrow will be a challenging day for me. I got an assignment to be the MC for our monthly colloquium. Next month, it is my turn to present anything technically related. Hope everything will be ok for me. Most important thing, I need to be in office earlier than usual.. meaning, no breakfast with my husband-lah. Ala, no roti canai-lah tomorrow *sigh*

The offer..

This year I will try to spend as much time as I can with my family members. My family and I ended up spending 6 days for Raya Haji, some said too much, but I don't care.. Unfortunately for my husband, my mother-in-law did not order any satay for him. I got my 'ayam masak merah' when we went back to Muar on Sunday. Hehe..

After all, I think, and strongly feel that this Raya is the last raya we can spend with our families. He got confirmation on the offer from the univ. Good for me, at least I can raise the kids on my own rather than sending them to different nurseries. And I can breastfeed both of them, insyaallah. My mom did not say anything on this, or rather she did not want to. My mother-in-law was worrying that she can't get to see her grandaughters often. For me, I don't know. Both parents are getting older, I just hope and pray that they will be ok until we get back in 2008.. but I doubt my employer will let me go with unpaid leave for 3-years straight.



I feel like cocooning in my office and starts planning for my next 3-years abroad. Masters? PhD? Erm.. we will see..

Flu bugs..

Last weekend was a very long one.. Nabilah was 'attacked' by flu bugs.. At first she just had a runny nose, clear mucus but difficult for her to breathe on Friday.. late Friday night, she could not sleep.. woke me up at 2.30 a.m. and started screaming and very fussy.. the next morning, we took a trip to GP and they prescribed her with lung medication! Whoaa.. very disturbing for me as she can be worse any days. Maybe asthma or some kind of respiratory disease. Huwaaa! Felt like crying.. husband is away on weekend, so me left alone to care for her.. just imagine 5 bottles of different medicine to so-called inject into her small throat. Even myself could not take it.. but my little girl braved herself and swallowed all medicine.. half an hour later, she slept.. all well and good. At least she can get a good nite rest and play the next morning.



I left her to the care-taker this morning with 3 bottles of medicine.. just to get the phelgm out from her lung.. after reading quite a number of articles from Internet, I'm now not sure to keep on feeding her antibiotics as her condition may not due to bacterial infection.. hope she is ok today and sleep well in her nursery..



Or maybe the symptoms are just to indicate that she's turning one year old? Or maybe it the 'sawan pengantin' thing again? We just came back from a wedding last 2 weeks.. I'm definitely a freaky mommy..

Photos..

I've been thinking on how to upload photos to my blog.. my fren suggested this and this.. Ok, I've tried them and here's the result:

1st week..

It's Friday and I'm having some break after hectic work for almost a week. Haven't got time to blog, read blogs and surf the net. I managed to only post messages to my frens at Fivers zonkboard.. but not more than that. Heh. What a way to start a new year..



Anyway, Nabilah was sick during the weekend.. maybe sbb baru pandai berjalan kot.. I took one day emergency leave on Monday to care for her and by evening, she was well and good.. sempat gi shopping pulak tu. The rest of the week, I spent hours writing on the assignment given by my boss. My immediate boss pulak a bit pushy on his reports and how am I going to mentor our new member. An hour ago, I finished presented the assignment to a bunch of people who are 'konon-nye' trying to make this better for the company. One talkative lad (who tried to show-off most of the time), two tensioned managers and a boss who cannot make his meeting less than an hour.. geez, enough for today. I'm done with work.



This weekend I will ask my hubby to bring us to Atria Shopping Center at PJ. We saw a shop there selling lots of babies gadgets esp the strollers, car seats and baby cots in Dutch Lady 123 hosted by Sofea Jane. We need to buy a big cot for the baby so Nabilah can have the queen bed all to herself. It will be better for me too since my room at kampung is a bit small, too many furnitures inside.. and the baby definitely cannot sleeps with her sister together.. Nabilah will just golek-golek and hempap her little sister.. hehehe..



So for the baby - a new cot only. For myself, nothing special so far.
