Monday, February 27, 2006 Best Friend

A good friend of mine is going for an operation this morning. It is for the removal of her fibroids. It has given her troubles for couple of years and she has decided to have it removed. I did not know what is fibriods until she has it and she explained to me how these fibriods come about. It is really scary listening to her of her pains and one effect of having fibriods, one can mensurate as long as 3 weeks. I was shocked when I heard this. One week alone is long enough to go through cramps and pains but to go through it for 3 weeks and more. I really don't know how to react to it. She read online about fibroids and she even forward an email on it to the rest of us (only girls) so that we can learn about it too. Fibroids affect more than 30% of women.

Eventhough my friend is a very strong-will person, she worries about her 2 children and her family. She told me that she has sleepless nights because of the operation and I feel for her really. She is the kind of person who worries more about the rest than herself and cares for everyone around her. She never fails to brighten anyone's life with her word or action.
I pray that her operation goes smoothly and she gets well soon. I pray that it goes away once and for all and she does not have to go through this ever again.


"Fibroids, or myomas, are growths or benign tumours that form inside the uterus (womb). Around four in 10 women over the age of 40 will have fibroids. No one knows why fibroids develop, but it is suspected that the sex hormones - oestrogen and progesterone - play significant roles. This is because fibroids rarely grow in prepubescent girls and postmenopausal women. Pre-existing fibroids stop growing, and may even shrink, once a woman passes the menopause. Fibroids often cause no problems, but may occasionally be associated with infertility, miscarriage and premature labour. Other possible problems include heavy, lengthy and painful periods. Treatment depends on the size, number and location of the fibroids, but may include drugs and surgery. Fibroids rarely turn cancerous. "

Tuesday, February 21, 2006 worth my 50 bucks

I had my hair cut and highlighted. Now my hair is just nicely resting on my shoulder. I had it higlighted copper brown. Nothing too drastic with that but I love my new look. My hubby was all smile when he saw my new look. I was exceptionally happy with the way the girl did my hair. She did not rush with it. They served green tea which my DZ enjoyed it. My other sis was carrying DZ. Infact she is the one who introduced me to this hair salon. I even got a nice message in the end. It was so relaxing having her message my neck and back. I thanked her and she even commented that I will look more sexy if I curl my hair...her marketing strategy hahaha. Actually my sis was asking how much it will cost to perm the hair. She is really good right?...hmmm next time I will try the curls :P

We were beaten.

We reached Police Academy on Saturday at 9 am. Our captain ball game was at 10.30am. We were 4 girls (J, R, M and myself) and a guy (T). We got to know each other and we started praticing eventhough we know we are short of 2 more players. J told us that 2 more guys would be joining us later as they were playing soccer. We were practicing in the hot sun till 10.30am. They were 4 guys and 3 girls in the opposing team. Those guys were tall and fit. They are baketball and netball players. Well we thought it was unfair since there were 4 guys in their team so we decided to have 3 guys and 3 girls in a team. Even with this arrangement, we were still on the losing side because 3 guys were playing but for us two guys were playing and the third guy was standing on the chair to catch the ball. The other team, the 4th guy was standing on the chair. We played the first set. We played for 10 mins and we were down 4-0. In the first place, i did not know that there would be guys playing. So I was upset. In the second set, I told the guy who was standing in the chair to replace me so that I can stand in the chair to try and catch the ball since I was taller than him. He replied me that he can't run because of health problem and I was thinking why was he part of the team in the first place. Again I was upset. I just continued playing and we were down 6-1 in the second set. The opposing team played well coordinated game and they know where their positions are in the game and we were like running all over the court. It was very tiring to play under the hot sun but those guys looked so cool with sweats running down their forehead. I bet the whole team got lots and lots of stamina, afterall they just had a game of badminton before playing the captain ball. We were definetly on the losing side eventhough we managed to get 3 guys (from the soccer side) to play in the last set. I did not feel bad at all losing because they played much better game than us. I hated the umpire. She thinks she knows more about the game than anyone else. She thinks she is good in all games. She thinks she is the sports player of the year....my foot!!! I simply hate her. She even remark at one point that she has to give up playing this game to become an umpire...she thinks she is a pro...yuckkkss at her remark.
So much for a captain ball game, I went back home limping err not really limping but was feeling sharp pain in my left leg. I reached home and my left first toe nail was all red. I had to put ice cubes on both my left and right first toes. The left toe looked pretty bad and I got 2 days off from work. I came back to work in jeans and slippers today. No one said anything about the slippers after looking how bad my poor toe is. I have been enduring the pain since Saturday and it doesn't seem to get any better with the cream or medicine. It still looks swollen and pale. The only thing I learnt from this game is how bad my stamina level has dropped. Now I don't believe that age got something to do with this. It is all because of my laziness to start exercising. Now that I have seen it for myself, I am going to do something about it and of course once my toe gets better :(

Thursday, February 16, 2006 Cookies N Cream

my lastest craze the whole of this week. I have been licking my ice-cream everynight after my dinner and that too at 12am. I did not eat this much of ice-cream even when I was pregnant. What's wrong with my body? I can't sleep without having my cookies and cream every night, even my DH finds it strange hehehe. Maybe my brain is stress and it needs to cool down. Gosh I have to stay away from ice-cream once I finish the one in the freezer. I need to go on an ice-cream fasting. It's all because of my younger sister who made me buy the cookies N cream and left it in my shopper after our shopping.

PS: Thanks DH for letting me use the laptop last night ;P

My life for the last 2 months

For the last 2 months, I have been trying to clear all my 2005 annual reports but till now I am stuck with it. I miss reading all my fav blogs and I can't even think to update my blog. Now I am typing this from my laptop at home. I usually don't blog at night but I feel so different not blogging hehehe. I guess this is called addiction. Eventhough I am 85% done with my reports, my table looks as messy as in the pic. The dateline for my report is tomorrow and I am so cool about it. I always believe that it is not a good practice to work overtime no matter how bad the situation is. Afterall why are the bosses here for? They are earning more than us so it is right that they should work even after office hours and my boss stays back till late religiously. She is really hardworking and a very nice boss too but I can't say the same for my director. If you are taking any kind of leave, medical or annual, she makes sure you put that report on her table before we disappear. Tomorrow is Friday and we finish work at 5.30pm instead of the usual 6pm. So I am short of half an hour tomorrow. Wish me luck to finish the remaining 15% of my reports.
I am thinking of harp dear who is enjoying herself the last 2 days shopping in KL. I wish I went with her hehe

Monday, February 13, 2006 Rough it Out

I have been not doing any kind of exercise except for housework the past couple of years. Before I got married, I used to jog occasionally and walk quite a distance daily. I was so energetic and active. But ever since I stopped exercising, I felt tired easily. Gone were the days when my tummy and arms were not flabby. I picked up running during my teenage years because I was big. I wanted to lose weight and I started dieting and exercising vigorously. It was because of peer-pressure. I am glad that I want to look small like the rest. I started losing weight and I continued exercising. I don't do breakfast while I was studying and when I started working, I don’t even lunch so I only got to eat one meal a day. I am not really interested in eating or enjoy eating different kind of food. My colleague started scolding me whenever I skip my breakfast and lunch. I started taking my breakfast and my lunch without fail, thanks to harp. Now I can happily say that I eat 3 meals a day but I stopped taking coffee and I am drinking water. I have tea once in a day at my mom’s place. With all these foods spoiling me, I feel that I am getting FAT again. It is ok to be FAT and PREGNANT. But it is definitely not ok to be FAT and NOT PREGNANT:D What I am trying to say is I have been really lazy these days except for taking care of my darlings and the house. Maybe the aging process will be delayed if I start exercising. That is another thing I am getting paranoid about. I should start experimenting on this. Well for a start I have joined the netball team. Hopefully this keeps me going. I should do those sit ups most importantly. I don’t think I can even go for 1 set of 10 now. I used to do 4 -5 sets of sit ups for few years and I did see the changes. I remembered my sister and I used to exercise together before both of us got married. I really think exercise keeps our weight in control and we can lead a healthy lifestyle.

I shall do this at home :)

Thursday, February 09, 2006 Captain Ball

Well I did sign up for the captain ball team. The JRC Annual Games Day is on the 18th February 2006. One of the highlights is the telematches that includes the captain ball obviously. The best part is that I have not gone for any practice whatsoever. There are no emails so far to inform the training dates and the latest news is that there will be no training. OH MY GOD...NO TRAINING!!! On the actual day we are suppose to just play the game. I wonder how to when you don't even know who are the rest in the team :D I am not going to make a clown out of myself infront of the judges and other officers. Maybe this whole captain ball game will not happen at all. I can't even remember the rules of this game hehe. I regret sending in my name afterall. Now I have to think of a way to excuse myself out like what few others did. Well I was planning on playing the game you know. What if the rest who are still in the team are good players and I am the only idiot who doesn't even know how the game is played. Do they have books on "How to play captain ball FOR DUMMIES"? But still how to learn a game by reading, duh! I've got 9 more days to come up with an excuse. :) *put on my thinking cap at this very minute*...

so much for the publicity of the annual games day (including the names of the players) hehe. Oops I better not laugh too much.

Wednesday, February 08, 2006 Random thoughts

I woke up at 3am with sharp pain in my abdomen. I could not sleep. DZ started crying and she wanted her dudu. I got up and feed her but when I tried to sleep, my pain got worse. I applied medicated oil and place the hot water bag on my stomach. The pain subsided after half an hour. Still I could not sleep. I was admiring my DZ sleeping and I was back to my past...when I was pregnant with zoha till the very day I was admitted to deliver my baby. It was nice thinking back on my delivery :) (alhamdulilah I had a fast one). One year have past and my darling is growing up. As I spend more time with her, the whole responsiblity falls on me. Will I do it well? As a daughter, I have at times been rude to my mom and she had been disappointed with me for those mistake I made. But I am glad that God has got me going on to the straight path and with God fearing I pass my each day . Likewise for my daughter, I want her to be a good daughter and a good muslimah. Well come to think of it, being a good muslimah covers almost every aspect of one life. When I miss a prayer, I think of my daughter. Will I want her to miss hers? No. If I am lazy, will my daughter be lazy too? No. So many actions of mine will reflect it on my daughter later in her life. I want the best for her and I am sure all moms want that for their baby. I came across these pictures in my office pc (from the first day she was born up till she was 6 months old then).

Here is my little darling.

(1st row)
1st day when she born-> sleeping in her cot once back home->in Shah Alam Mosque when she was 3 months old

(2nd row)
DH holding her when she was 4 months plus
-> DZ lying on my sis's bed -> Lying beside baby amiira the day she was born. DZ was 6 months then.

(3rd row)
Mommy carrying DZ in the hospital -> Taken at Orchard Road on Dec 2004 -> when DZ was 3 months plus (sticking her tongue out).



Last month both the gals DZ & DA had their first makeover session/photo taken in a studio. Hope to post it up soon to see how different or similar they look now since everyone asking me and my sister if the girls are twins? We have to tell them that the gals mothers are the twins :D

Sunday, February 05, 2006 My Baby

DZ to her toy horse: Want ‘mum mum’? (It means food in her language)
I was watching TV when I heard DZ asking for mum mum.
I Turn to look at her and was surprised to see what she was doing.
ME to DZ: Darling you want to drink milk? (I asked her in tamil)
DZ holding her toy horse in her lap.
DZ to her toy horse: Want dudu? Want dudu? (in her soft voice)
I smiled at her and told her horse doesn’t drink dudu. She immediately got up, walked few steps forward and took her water bottle and came back.
DZ to toy horse: Want water?
She put the toy horse on her lap and gave it water.


My baby is growing up. It is such a pleasure to see my baby learning new things each day. May Allah swt bless her with lots of emaan and taqwa. Ameen.
