Wedding of the year

I think I should write about this event. Friends,you should know, I am among the one who loves attending wedding. Dunno why, my husband also query. Is not only attend weeding, eat and go back, I will always find opportunity to meet with couples, visit bilik pengantin, hantaran..macam keypochi je kan bunyinya..hahha..whatever la.. as long as I am happy by seeing all the beautiful things specially created for wedding.


Last Sat, I went to my ex-colleague wedding. She just resigned due to getting married.I would say this is Wedding of the Year from all weddings I’ve attended this year. Why.. One of it is because she is a daughter to one of well known Dato’ Seri in Penang.. So can you imagine how is ‘anak-anak orang kaya punya wedding, kan !” Everybody is thrilled to go to her wedding . She has total 6 times of ceremony, started with Majlis Berinai, Majlis akad nikah, wedding lunch ( 12pm-3pm), wedding dinner (7pm – 10pm). Both were at home. Another wedding dinner at 6star hotel in Penang next week. And the last one is the bride side.

Our dear Penang Governor and MP of Tasek Gelugor who is also ex- 2nd Finance Minister, Tan Sri Mohd Nor Yaacob is honorable guests of the day.


Beside the bridegroom is my friend, what make is more significant in this knot is she is married to a person that I will remember to the end of my life, who took care of my arwah mama for about 2 months at hospital. The bride , a Chinese convert Muslim guy , is the most nice and kind hearted medical officer and neuro specialist I ever known. Is not only me. You can ask any patient who has been treated under him, everybody will say a good thing bout him. Is not only to patient, he is nice to patient’ family .At a glance you will think he is a handsome Malay guy but actually he is Chindian. He can speak Bahasa fluently . And now after married , can I say he is Chinndianyu ? heheheh…


After demise of arwah mama in 2007, I met him back in mid-2008 in one of party held at my friend ( his wife now). Both just be a couple that time. At first, he can’t recognize me . Of course. He has been treating thousand of patients but after my friend mention my mama’ s name, then he able to recall. Actually arwah mama is a Hospital staff. And knew him even before she fall sick. That is why when I just mention arwah mama’s name, then he able to recall.

When we met at the party, he also asked about my father and brother. He is very concern.


And yesterday, besides the ‘grand and glamour’ guests, when her wife was introducing him to each of us , group of her ex-officemate , and when I was about to congrates both couple, he said “Ha..this girl I know.” , I just replied as “ Wahh..you still remember me .? I never hope that he can still recognize me . He kissed SI’s cheek.

Enjoy some picture of the day.

Ragam si kecil

Lama tak bercerita tentang anak dara saya SI ni. Hujung tahun ni genap 2 tahun. Sekejap je masa berlalu. Lepas tu nak jadi kak long dah. Sekarang ni SI pandai cakap sikit-sikit. Macam perkara-perkara biasa, nak acik ( nak nasik), nak andi ( mandi), kalau nak tido atau naik buai, dia kata nak ya iya ha iyallah..( La ilahaillah), p lalan ( jalan ), nak lalik ( nak balik), dan banyak lagi perkataan yang dapat disebut walaupun sebutan nya tak jelas..Alhamdulillah. SI pun dah mula faham apa yg kami kata


Dia pun dah tau, dalam perut umi ada baby.Kalau Tanya kat mana baby, dia pegang perut saya. Dia ni suka main loncat2 atas perut saya, makanya selalu kena ingatkan ada baby dalam ni, kalau tak sakan dia dok naik turun.


Antara kegemaran dia kini ialah pakai stoking .bukan stoking dia, tapi stoking saya . Pantang dia Nampak ja, dia mula nak pakai. Stoking saya jenis panjang kalau dia pakai mau sampai ke paha. Kelakar pulak tengok, macam Pua Chu Kang pakai kasut but tu.Kat dalam trouser, kat luar stoking sampai lutut.


Sekarang pun dah pandai pilih nak pakai baju apa.nak pakai seluar sendiri


Nak p berjalan nombor satu.Kekadang kena acah dia kalau dia tanak pakai diaper, kata umi nak p jalan, dan dan mai nak pakai diaper. Abi salu tegur saya , tak baik bohong anak macam tu. Tapi , kadang-kadang nak pakaikan diaper dia bukan senang…jenoh pujuk rayu segala


Sekarang pun dah mula mau kat orang sikit-sikit, tu pun certain orang yang saya salu bawak jumpa. Dan orang yangrajin melayan dia, terutama mak menakan pupu dia Kakak Aisyah yang disebut Aikah.


Tapi yang paling tak larat, ‘meghap’ dia tu.orang kata kalau dia tahu dia nak dapat adik, ‘meghap’ dia tu lebih sikit. Kalau saya takde, pandai pulak bawak diri, kalau saya ada , mula la..macam tu la anak ummi kan !


Masih menyusu. Tapi saya tau dia tak puas sebab kejap2 belah kanan,sat ja tukar belah kiri. Atau mungkin susu saya dah nak tukar rasa dia kot. Dah nak masuk 2 trimester nik an. Saya mula mix feeding masa SI umur 1 tahun 6 bulan ( akibat stok takde and daya menegpam yang kurang). Mix pun hanya di umah pengasuh dan 2 kali EBM , 2 kali FM.


Sejak 1 thun 10 bulan ni, bila dah start ngandung dan saya pun dah tinggalkan aktiviti mengepam, saya mixkan FM kat rumah bila saya cuti.saja nak latih sbb saya dah tak daya nak BF kan dia skg ni..letih sangat rasa. Tapi night feeding still direct feeding sb saya malas bangun nak bancuh. Sebelum tido, saya bancuh dulu 7-8 oz susu, agar dia kenyang dn tak kerap bagun, tapi sama ja. Kekadang dia tak minum pun FM, brp kali membazir je. Geram jugak saya sebab tak pernah berhadapan terpaksa buang susu mcm tu je, kalau EBM free tak rasa sangat.


Saya pun taktau sampai bila SI nak menyusu. Saya biarkan saja dulu.tunggu la .lagipun lagi sebulan lebih ja dia nak 2 tahun. Yang letih skit tu sbb tgh2 malam bila dia habis menyusu, dia tanak lepas. Actually bila ngandung ni*ple akan terasa sakit bila menyusukan, tahan je la..kekadang kalau tak tahan, saya tarik perlahan-lahan.mula la dia nak nangis. Kesian pulak..

Tak sabaq tunggu SI terus membesar, petah berkata-kata.Moga anak ummi membesar bagai johan okie!!

Kencing Manis masa hamil?

I am in dilemma now. Is only because I’m gaining so much weight within few weeks. When I am at 2 months of pregnancy, my weight is at 50.8. 3 months pregnant, is already 51.5. and now after 2 weeks, I’m reaching 54. Takutnyaa..


I’ve gone thru one round of Oral Glucose Tolerance Test ( OGTT) a.k.a minum air gula last week and yet to get the result .Another round coming soon.. I was surprised as when I was expecting SI, I only started to undergo OGTT when I was 5 mons pregnant, and now, is only 3 mons, dah kena minum. According to the nurse, is for early detection and prevention. Yes, I have a family history of diabetes. My father, 2 of my uncles got this diabetes. That is the reason why I have to minum ayaq gula. In addition to it, my weight gain so fast, I am anxious. I am controlling my food intake now. Since I don’t face much morning sickness, my appetite is increase tremendously . Sat sat nak makan ja kerjanya.


The concerns I have here if I am putting more weight is a) I may at risk of getting diabetes during expecting 2) My baby size will grow bigger and afraid that I have to gone thur c-zer. U can read details about Diabetes bottom of this write-up.


SI was 3.6kg at birth. I had to take about 6-7 trial of ‘teran’ to get her out. One of the nurse said , “ anak first dah besaq macam ni, nanti anak 2nd taktau la..nak besaq mana” . As if this is fact that your 2nd baby will be bigger than the first one. But I also knew some of them which their 2nd baby is smaller than the 1st. I cannot 100% believe what the nurse say, right.


My friend keep scolding me when I try to limit my diet. She told me , my colleague whom I told about her baby in previous entry also eating less + her busyness, her baby growth was slow and the baby is not that strong to survive .


I don’t want to gain so much weight now is not because I am worry that I cannot slim down after post natal. From previous experience, by BF, I able to keep slim, slimmer that before. Hope that I still able to achieve it for 2nd time. Is just the risk during expecting like diabetes and bigger baby.

As a solution , now, I always make sure I have fruit near to me at all times rather than bun, cracker, snack. Whenever I am craving, I eat fruits. And avoid sweet drink.Hope this helps


Friend, any advice.?

some info about GDM

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)

Ini bergantung pada tahap penjagaan kesihatan diri anda sendiri. Jika paras gula di dalam darah dapat dikawal dengan baik sepanjang kehamilan, komplikasi untuk mengalami masalah ini dapat dikawal dan dicegah.8 Jika paras gula di dalam darah berlebihan, maka ia akan berpindah ke bayi menerusi plasenta dan menyebabkan bayi anda juga mengalami paras glukosa darah yang tinggi. Oleh kerana itu, pankreas bayi anda turut bertindak menghasilkan insulin tambahan untuk merendahkan paras glukosa darah yang tinggi


Bayi akan mendapat tenaga (dalam bentuk glukosa) yang berlebihan dari yang diperlukannya, dan tenaga lebihan ini akan tersimpan sebagai lemak badan yang akan menyebabkan makrosomia (didefinisikan sebagai bayi yang lahir dengan berat 4.0kg atau lebih).


Jika bayi anda mengalami makrosomia, dia berkemungkinan akan menghadapi masalah kesihatan yang serius seperti kecederaan di bahu semasa kelahiran dan meningkatkan risiko untuk menjalani pembedahan Caesarean. Walaupun tidak mempunyai makrosomia yang nyata, bayi anda mungkin mempunyai paras glukosa darah yang sangat rendah (hipoglisemia) selepas dilahirkan disebabkan pengeluaran insulin berlebihan daripada pankreas bayi anda. Hormon insulin berlebihan ini juga merangsang pembesaran bayi yang berlebihan atau makrosomid.


Paras gula di dalam darah bayi akan diawasi dengan teliti semasa penjagaan bayi dan adalah perlu memberi glukosa secara intravena kepada bayi jika paras gula terlalu rendah. Bayi juga mudah terdedah kepada Jaundis yang berpanjangan, ketidakimbangan paras elektrolit di dalam darah seperti paras serum kalsium dan magnesium yang rendah, masalah pernafasan mahu pun kecacatan bayi.10 Adalah dipercayai bahawa bayi yang bersaiz besar cenderung menjadi obes di masa akan datang.


Bayi anda juga berisiko untuk menjadi obes dan menghidap diabetes jenis 2 apabila dewasa kelak.


Pemeriksaan ultrasound semasa antenatal adalah berguna untuk mengawasi saiz bayi dan mengesan polihidramnios serta keabnormalan bayi. Seperti pesakit diabetes yang lain, ibu yang hamil dengan GDM adalah berisiko tinggi untuk mengalami komplikasi seperti jangkitan pada saluran kencing, diabetik ketoasidosis, dan jangkitan kulat pada kulit. Mereka juga mudah terdedah kepada kelahiran pramatang disebabkan Polihidramnios dan bayi yang bersaiz besar.


GDM juga boleh mendatangkan masalah kepada ibu. Dalam kebanyakan kes, jika bayi anda besar, anda akan mengalami kerumitan ketika melahirkan bayi dan anda mungkin perlu menjalani pembedahan Caesarean.


Anda juga berisiko tinggi mendapat praeklampsia (berkait dengan peningkatan tekanan darah yang tinggi yang boleh menjadi serius, sehingga membahayakan keadaan bayi dan diri anda) semasa kehamilan.


Anda juga lebih mudah untuk mendapat GDM lagi semasa kehamilan akan datang. Menurut Institut Kesihatan Kebangsaan (National Institute of Health, NIH) Amerika Syarikat, wanita yang pernah mengalami GDM mempunyai 20 hingga 50 peratus kemungkinan untuk mendapat diabetes jenis 2 dalam tempoh 5 hingga 10 tahun selepas kehamilan.


Walau bagaimanapun, ini boleh dicegah - seperti yang telah dibuktikan dalam beberapa kajian ternama yang menunjukkan bahawa pengubahsuaian gaya hidup sahaja atau dengan penambahan ubat-ubatan oleh individu yang berisiko tinggi (termasuk wanita yang menghidap GDM) dapat mengurangkan risiko menghidap diabetes jenis 2 sehingga 58 peratus.



p/s: Bed, aku dah gemokks dalam sekelip mata

Walimah Akhil Hayy dan Nor Waheeda

Kami sekeluarga berada di Gopeng Sabtu lepas kerana menghadiri walimah pasangan kontroversi Akhil Hayy dan Nor Waheeda.Walaupun apa yang berlaku di antara Akhil dengan ex-wife dia amat saya tidak gemari, namun sebagai kerabat, kami meraikan majlis menyambut menantu ni . Itu kisah depa laki-bini-bekas bini. Hal depa. Kami, yang penting..berbondong-bondong penuh glamor ke majlis resepsi tu..

Takde nye glamor.Sepupu sepapat saya yang memang dah ala-ala glamor tetap mantopp..saya macam biasa la ..comot walaupun ke majlis kenduri artis.... tak penah la saya anak kampung ni p majlis-majlis glamor. tadak punbaju lip lap lip lap anak mami.

Seawal 11.30pagi kami sampai dari Penang-Gopeng. Dapat pulak dok dalam dewan sebagai tetamu khas. Driver -driver kami tak larat nak tunggu dalam dewan, depa awai-awai dah bantai nasik kat bawah khemah.Sementara nak tunggu mempelai memang berpeluh la..Dan la SI 'testing suara' sebab bila dah semakin ramai, semakin panas dewan. Anak dara sorang ni memang dah tak boleh tahan. Macamana la ummi nak glamor, sat-sat , anak tarik tudung, sat-sat kerongsang tercabut. Muka yang awalnya konon segak bercat..last-last peluh yang menitik..

Pendekkan cerita, dlam 12.40pm tu mempelai sampai la..Punya la berpusu-pusu orang nak amik gambaq depa. Nasib saya ada photographer cilik upahan. Dapat la gambaq sekeping dua buat kenangan. Kumpulan In-team mengalunkan solawat dan zikir tanda mengalu-alukan kehadiran pengantin. Pastu siap ada anak-anak kecil buat persembahan tarian zapin kalau tak silap..Amboi..bukan main nooo kenduri Ustaz Akhil.. Seterusnya sessi bertaruf, tangkap gambaq dulu. Masa tu saya dah tak peduli sebab time hadirin makan.

Dan saya juga keluar dewan awai sbb SI ni berhajat besar pulak time-time tengah syok jamah nasik minyak. Sepeti biasa, sejak jadi mak ni dan dalam keadaan anak dara sorang ni yang tak mau kat orang lain..memang makan tu jarang nak sampai belahak...ada ja siaran tergendala. Kami pun p masjid berdekatan untuk menyucikan SI. Bila dah siap solat semua, keluarga besar kami dah nak meninggalkan majlis sbb semua dah pakat nak naik Cameron awai. So, saya pun taktau apa yang terjadi selepas saya meninggalkan dewan tu. Yang dengaq last tu akhil tengah menyanyi.

dapat la CD Akhil, buku yasin dan cawan dan piring kecil berbunga English Rose sebagai cenderahati. Takdan la saya nak p salam dengan Kak Wa.. Yang pasti, papa saya, jugak kakak-kakaknya dan adik-adiknya pasti gembira sebab depa dapat berkumpul dengan keluarga besar Rawa. Bagi kami lapis-lapis bawah ni, ni la masa nak kenai hang anak sapa, cucu sapa.Rawa belah mana. Tercari jugak kelibat mama emma . Kot ada rezeki berjumpa

Di CH, macam biasa la..p melawat sana sini...dah tak rajin nak menulis.


Ok ..kita layan gambaq . Mood saya baik letak gambaq lebih banyak dari biasa kali ni. Abaikan tarikh pada kamera yang belum saya perbetulkan.

6months tenure in her womb

When I first discovered about my 2nd pregnancy, beside my husband and family, the first friend got to know about it is my cubmate . Because some unintended question that lead to “Hidayah puasa penuh Ramadhan kali ni”. Then I told 2 of senior close friend and both of them agreed that don’t tell more people, let’s see whether people notice it or not. Because I am use to wear baggy attire, so will see if people can notice especially at early stage.


As of now, only one friend able to guess by looking at my tummy. Well, I would some experience lady able to know by just looking at my tummy or my B.


I have another colleague who is also expecting her 2nd child after her first son is already 5. We are quite close and always hang out for lunch together. But still she yet to know I am pregnant because with no ( little ) morning sickness, I am just like normal except eating more . We are giving more attention to her since after quite some time she pregnant again and she get to know this time is a girl ! besides, she is too buzy , active at office.Her works really make her no rest. She is at office every weekend and go back late everyday. The husband also bising but what to do..Her responsibility plus not enough manpower to cater such loads of project currently .



Only last 2 weeks, she had just lost the baby inside her womb. We are very shocked and blaming the boss and all the works that she has to do. Not sure what is the cause. Lack of rest or there was a complication inside.



I went to visit her at hospital. Alone. No one accompany me as the hospital is at mainland and I dropped by on my way back home. Actually I don’t have the courage to go and visit her alone as I am not good in consoling and comforting people especially in this situation. And I feel sorry and bit uneasy as I haven’t tell her that I am pregnant too.. But I still went there, accompany her from 6.30pm until 7.30pm visiting hour. I was more listening rather than talking as I am speechless. But Alhamdulillah, she is ok. Able to accept it and she was the one who keep talking, telling me what happen since day 1 she feel different with it.


The baby was born with force delivered after 2x induced. And she is a girl with 540gm at weight . Alhamdulillah, the funeral process went smooth. And my friend entitled for 2 months maternity leave eventhough at first according to our in-house clinic, before 7 months is 2 weeks leave. Recommendation from medical officer and her boss.


When she come back to work, I will be at 5mons pregnant InsyaAllah…and I feel sorry for not telling her earlier. My friend suggested that just inform her I only get to know about my pregnancy after her incident .. and I think I will do the same thing.



I pray hard that she will stay tough and hope that she will have next rezeki soon.And pray for myself and little one inside.

Anak Ummi Sayang..may you have a safe journey for 9months inside ummi.May Allah protect you always.
