Favourite do

Everyone has at least one favourite things to do. I have always love to sit at a small cafe with a cup of coffee and sometimes a slice of cake and go people watching. Its kinda entertaining looking at people's life event or everyday activities. 

I guess many people love to be at the certain places where they want to be seen, like branded cafes at a certain locations. if you look at it, it does sound snob or a bit posh but I do get it why they are love to be there.

Take Starbucks for instance, where could you find them? Mostly at malls, high traffic places and expensive areas. How about their interior and seating arrangement? Quite at a cosy side and the seats are among from comfortable sofas to regular wooden chairs. Not to mention free wifi which means you could practically move in entirely. With all these facilities and comfort, who wouldn't want to be there or be seen there. It makes a great meet up place, study group location, a 'me' time place or even a place to sit and wait for offices to open i.e govt office.

I have always wonder, how to own a cafe of this concept. I'm not quite a person who you would call an entrepreneur, but having to have a business like this is kinda like a dream of mine. 

  

I have put this thought at the back of my mind and still at the midst of researching and juggling with few related ideas. Its not like I want to do it tomorrow, but it is something to think about.

Me+my own thought = me time

Meds check up

Got back from the pre-employment medical check up at Menara Hap Seng.

Where is Menara Hap Seng? my question exactly when I first knew I had to got here.
So Google map lorr....



So today hubby brought me there. Conveniently, he has a training seminar at Crowne Plaza Hotel in the afternoon. So, he's kinda available to bring me there..ngeeeeee :)

Arrived at the clinic. But first I have to comment about the place, its quite nice and relaxing. Quite different from how the building external potrayed. The parking was plenty and quite spacious as well.

The clinic is at 7th floor and as the lift door opens, there are these nice patterns alongside the corridor. The patern kinda reminds me of a certain logo, but could not quite put my finger to it, oh well.

I have been on hiatus for these new job stuff that I don't really know what would involve for the pre-employment medical check up.

So first they asked for a urine sample, then check your eyesight, colour blindness and weight plus height (that was when I had a fright on the weighing scale). Herbalife alert!!!!!

The whole check up was quite quick, if I must say and the staff are quite friendly. Kudosss to Chong Dispensary.

My hubby has not been with me during the check up coz he wanted to 'lepak' at starbucks and have his espresso fix (waah, cool la tu)...

Then we are on our way to send me to work. Before that, isn't the coolest lift to the basement or what? Glass wall all around overlooking the ambiance. Feeling-feeling eco friendly gitu.

We took Akleh highway to Setiawangsa. View of the urban jungle of KL City Centre is splendid. Makes you kinda proud being part of the economic fast track and modern urbanisation of the country. Like it or not, we do contribute towards the vision 2020 either in a good way or not.

Hello again

Hello again.

It has been about 2 years since my last post. Yup, had been quite busy being married and having a child all that.

Opss...excuse my manners. Yup, I have a son now. His name is Luthfi Haziq bin Mohd Amirul Nazri. Born on 7th March 2012 at 12.29am via c-sect.

Our life has changed since his arrival. Brought joy to everybody around him.

What can I say about him??..he is the most precious jewel, a priceless gift from Allah s.w.t. Everything about him is nothing short of beautiful. He is a very bright baby who is curious to just about anything around him. Now he is 7 months plus and learning his way to stand up. He loves to hold on things that he could use to stand up and move sideways as if he's trying to walk. Countless falling down and cries aside, he has progressed well.

Remembered on the day that I brought him to the world.

I carried him till the very due date 10 months and on the final check up I have decided to induce. Given that I had a prolonged aching back, endless heartburn, bloated like no one's business and I could not even walk properly (macam lori muatan lebihan)

The doctor induced at 2.30pm and waited until it come into effect. Waited and waited until at 6pm, my water broke. That was then I first knew that the water inside my baby's sack is actually warm...new lesson.

ok..it only took around 1 hour for the contraction to come and the pain was whoaaa!!!!...i want all this to settle quick.....

Maybe I was manja sangat kot. tak boleh sakit sikit, before i know it i agreed for an epidural. hahaha!!..how did that happened?

 ok..had the epidural and relieved alot.

so the nurses check up on me every 2 hours to see my progress (opening laaa)

waited..waited..waited....

mom and dad came by from 6pm onwards, and the baby did not show any signs that he wants to come out.

11.30pm....cervix opened just 6cm....

11.45pm...hubby got restless. it was almost 6 hours since the water broke. he asked the nurse of the progress. she said not so good coz the baby's heartbeat is slowing down and the head is swollen a bit. He asked what is the best solution....operate, she said.

Without much thought he asked to get everything ready for operation, while composed himself on how to break the news to me knowingly how I feel about operation.

Little that I know, my tears strumming down as my husband explained the situation and the only option is to operate because two lives at stake here. I was physically and mentally tired and I could not think back then. Then I asked him to decide for me.

Not long after that, preparation were done and consent form was signed and they wheeled me to the OT. Cried all the way, terrified for what may come. Arriving at the OT, I asked for full anesthesia because I was so terrified and extremely tired. The doctor complied. Did not remembered when i dozed off, but as i began to wake up, I could hear a baby crying. Saw me began to regain consciousness, they put the baby nest to my face and asked for the gender. No brainer, I just said 'boy' because I have always knew since my 4th check up.

As the pain killer starts to wear off, i was shivering all over as if i was in a seizure. An unbearable chill. As that starts to wear down, then thats when the juice come in. I was up all night in excruciating pain at the cut and had to composed myself to sleep. As I do that, I looked at my hubby who was sleeping like a baby (literally). Poor him, he must have been very tired waiting and only had a little to eat. He was with me till the end and patiently waited. I owed a lot to him, in short he saved me and Haziq's life as he took the chance and made that crucial decision that would affect our lives. All and all everything is all good.

Now, 7 months has passed. Our lives have been blessed with outpouring rezeki. My hubby is an avid believer that rezeki will come with the new born child thus one must not be afraid to have kids. Allah will never leave His servants high and dry upon welcoming a new bundle of joy.

I must admit, I did feel like our lives has been blessed with shower of rezeki and smooth ride since Haziq's arrival. Or even when the rides got tough, we did not really feel it perhaps because we have Haziq. Yup, I did not really get it either. Guess this is one of the God's wonder and miracles.

Haziq is truly God's precious gift and we vow to protect him, shower him with love, provide for him, and nurture him till our last breath. Amin....

A new hobby

The other day my husband and i were talking about hobbies. He's thinking about getting a hobby when he finish school. Guess school has really taken a lot from him that all of a sudden he's thinking about hobby. I asked him, what kind of hobby are you looking at? Golf......

Wow...golf, huh? Nice.

But only after I have started my swimming class...

Swimming pulak. Then again, yeah why not. You kinda have to be fit to swing those drivers, walk miles around the golf course etc.

Then he kinda got me thinking about what kind of hobby could I do??? I'm not crafty, can't draw to even save my life, let alone cook...hmmmmm

I remembered he once mentioned that I'm an attention seeker given that I love to post out son's picture in facebook, update status and comment pictures all that. Them, that gave me an idea about blogging.

Yeahhh...I love to write (not the novel kind of writting). I mean freestyle, casual writting. I like to pour out whats on my head, what I'm thinking about, what I'm doing or the best of all what our son is doing.

Our son, Luthfi Haziq bin Mohd Amirul Nazri.

The most beautiful person I've ever seen. I could shed a tear even talking about him. How can I describe Haziq, he's my angel, my pride and joy, my entertainer, my confidante, my friend..the list could go on. I always lose track of time whenever I'm around him and the best pace in the world that I could think of is being around him. :)

Back to my sudden interest in blogging.

You could say I'm a thinker. I like to think of everything up to a point I'm tired of thinking. I have thought of what it feels like not to think about anything, put your mind to rest for a bit. But that only remain as a thought, wishful thinking if I may add.

I have recently accepted a job offer as a Product Development Manager at Manulife Asset Management. I shall start work on 19th Nov 2012.

I admit this decision was not easy as I took almost everything in consideration especially my time with Haziq. Then again, the offer was too sweet to pass on. We could use the extra money plus this is the only chance I have to go back into product development field. I have been loosing track for a year now and its time to go back.

My husband has been my biggest cheer leading squad. Endless of support and motivation talk. He is well verse of what its like to work on the fast lane, and he believes I could do it. He said, I just need to push myself a bit more. Words of a husband means blessing, right?  Then I've decided to take the offer and move forward.

I'm planning to take off from my current work place by end of the month, that means 2 weeks break before I start work at the new place. wohooooo!!!!!!

All those time is for myself and family especially Haziq. Everything is all for him.

I think till I start work, I may have tome to update my blog and talk, talk, talk. Not sure if I will have time then..hmmmm..oh well, don't think that far ahead. live through the moment. enjoy the present, worry about the future later.

I want to talk a bit about my family. I am blessed with a loving and supporting husband and an adorable 7 months old son. They are my strength and joy together with my parents.

I must say, since married my life has been complete and secured. My husband is my soul mate and we can be around each other even when there is nothing to talk about. We have made a pact that we will make a point of spending quality time together whenever we could especially after both has start with new job.

We are a bit worried of the time demand for us to work and spend lesser time at home. We have seen how being workaholic could suffer and break marriages. We constantly pray to Allah to give us the patience and strength to keep ours. Plus we are planning to have another baby next year so our small family is on its way to expand :)

To myself, I have sort of making promise to myself to make a point of updating this blog whenever I could on top of being a mommy. I must admit that now my time is limited as most of it goes to Haziq, but I truly enjoy it very much. May he grows up happy and fulfilled.

All and all I'm really looking forward to Hari Raya Haji holidays and the long holiday week in November. Happy days with family!!!!! Nothing beats quality time with family.

Oh well, I have kinda derailed from talking about my new found hobby. So this is my first post and certainly not to be my last. Plenty more stories to come, trust me there are plenty to talk about.......words of an attention seeker!!!!

Taraaaa....
