congrats Kandan & Debs

last nite, aku & DH and DNNA & hubby attended wedding reception of our classmate in Galway -- Dr. Kandan who weds to Dr. Deborah Ryan (apparaaa Kandan, cakap mau carik meenachee, ni minahci Irish yang kau rembat ekkk)

The reception took place at Crowne Plaza Mutiara KL..

very happening wedding party..
very happening crowd...

and the best part -- some of our Irish classmate were there too!!

cheers to Eoin (pronounce as Owen), Richie & Emma, Emer, Aisling, Dora, John, and Teresa & Habana with their little Boo (whom we did not get the chance to meet :( too bad dear!)

also our almost-Irish fren, Aini ehhehehe jgn mare bebb..

credits to DNNA & hubby yang jemput & anta we 'ol (mek, abang YTC ko bawak keta aku takut la weihhh... cam naik rally car. hehhe Nway my sincerest THANKS to him yang sanggup amik & anta kitorg ber2 :D)

at first, we (read: aku, my DH & DNNA)had difficulty to recall our frens' name.. hmm it almost 6 years since we graduated okeh... (haaa lama gak ehhh), tp lama2 tu sume nama 'popped' back into our old mind..
fyi, i was known as SITI back then.. hahaha (kat sane senang pakai 1st name je)

Kandan -- cam tu jugak, kepoh like usual.. good to see u, brother. Thank u for inviting us
Deborah -- u are gorgeous dear!!

esok keje huwarghhh..

@5 months

semalam Faris genap 5 bulan...

@5 months old --

dia dh boleh bergolek, meniarap n telentang balik
kalau meniarap tu, dia dh mengundur ke belakang.. kalu letak atas tilam, tak sampai 5 minit sure tilam ntah ke mana

stranger anxiety -- last sunday, balik rumah nenek, dia nangis everytime pakcuk amin nk amik. Siap cembeng-cembeng lagi bibir tu.. uhuk uhuk...
camni kalu, susah la mummy isk..

Fatini takde problem ni cos dia dok rumah nenek sampai umo setahun. Kat rumah nenek selalu mmg ramai org esp weekends, cousin2 dia sokmo datang so dia dh biasa dgn ramai orang.
Haziq plak, we all ada maid dr dia lahir sampai umo dia lebey kurang 5 bulan (bibik tua yg pemalas and bukan dtg nak keje!!), so bila anta nursery dia mmg susah sket sbb dah kenal orang. Tp tak lama pastu terus ok dgn strangers.. and he likes men/boys (donno why?!)

minum susu now dh up 5-6 oz.. ku dah kena prepare EBM 5oz per bottle.. (owwhh i only pumped once a day nowadays so, leh dapat up to 3 bottles je.. huk huk kena up kan lagi production..)

ari tu maid ckp, dia minum dekat 7 oz kul 10am and he slept for hours... and minum balik kul 3pm.. iskk..

he's due for his 3rd DPT Hib IPV jab.. baper kg la plak dia kali nih?? Anyone care to bet?? hahahha

pandai main dgn kakak.. kakak pon sangat pandai main dgn PAyish..
abang pon bleh tahan jugak, tp abang suka picit pipi payish.. uhh kena tengok kalu Haziq yang ngadap dia..

found this pic in my old album.. Haziq was 4months old -- masa ni dia mmg dah steady meniarap. Haziq leh meniarap when he was 2 1/2 mths old..
Fatini tembam kan masa ni?? she was 2 1/2 year old..


Haziq @6mo..




i know i know.. it's supposed to be about Faris..
tp saje lah nak share gamba Haziq.. sama tak???

@ kenduri

neighbour depan rumah buat kenduri kawin anak dia...
anak sulung la katakan...
khemah sampai 5 buah = sepanjang 5 buah rumah lah jugak...
depan rumah aku pon dia boh nye khemah utk 'caterers' (abang caterer, kalu lebih lauk hulur2 la dalam pagar rumah saya ye.. hehheh)

kawasan rumah aku ni best sbb deret rumah aku (ada 8 rumah)
berdepan dengan 5 buah lagi rumah, walaupon mengadap sesama sendiri tp jalan
masing2 iaitu separated by 'longkang' atau lebih tepat tanah yang boleh bercucuk
tanam.. maknanye jarak rumah aku & neighbour depan rumah dipisahkan oleh 4
lane jalan dan kawasan tanah berpokok (kalu korang leh imagine lah) so kalu nak
letak kereta dpn rumah pon takde la ngacau rumah worang...

lagi best kawasan rumah sini sume jalan mati.. rumah aku 2nd last (err
angan2 nak amik rumah last aka rumah tepi tak kesampaian lah) so senang kalu
tetamu datang, leh parking gaya bebas...

and sebuah lagi depan rumah neighbour sebelah aku.. yang ni khemah utk 'live' band.. siap dgn speakers and drum, microphone sume bagai... (band manakah yg dijemput menyanyi agak nye?? Hujan kah?? Maksud saya band, tp hujan gerimis mmg dah turun pon..)

isk.. dapat ke Faris tido nih??? now ni dia dh selamat Zzzz.. baik la dia Zzzz sebelum 'band' memekak nanti...

so jab lagi leh makan nasik minyak.. owhh aku dh lama tak makan nasik minyak...

tp patut ke aku menjenguk rumah kenduri tu pagi2 ni ye?? Konon2 nak menolong?? Iskk aku sungguh tak pandai berjiran tetangga hal2 macam ni

DH plak on-call.. nak pegi makan kang, cuba tunggu dia balik (kalau tak busy) sbb takkan aku nak isik perut sendiri & meninggalkan anak2 & maid kat rumah kebuluran?? (tambah plak akak ni sogan poie sorang2.. kalu bawak anak, leh buat2 busy layan anak hahahah tactic!!)

okay... ai nak siapkan presentation utk Monday, siap kalu esok leh jalan2.. kalu idak jangan harap!! hahhaha

@work

jam dah kul 5.45pm -- ku masih di opistal..

inilah nasib orang menumpang kereta orang... ehh nasib orang menunggu drebar...

cik abe ai tak abis keje lagi, terpaksa la ku menunggu.. tp okay jugak sbb ku dapat selesaikan case report #3 ku... yeayyyy... alhamdulillah

esok dah Jumaat -- owh sungguh sekejap rasenye...

minggu ni minggu yang agak sibuk sbb ku in-charge blood bench.. ye, fyi kalu kata in-charge blood bench mmg agak sibuk esp time pagi sbb nak kena tengok 'anak-anak' (read: kuman2) yang dibiak kan pd hari/malam sebelum.. pastu nak kena tepon wad, cakap dgn dr kat ward utk discuss ttg pt's management (eg antibiotics, further tests etc).. kadang2 tu penat memegang gagang tepon menunggu orang angkat atau naik lebam jari menekan nombor sbb asyik engaged je... (paham2 la pagi2 sume nak kena kasi settle kat wad tuh) sambil2 tu melayan panggilan2 drpd wad yang bertanya itu ini... owhh kengkadang rase cam receptionist pon ada...

tp apape pon, ku sangat suka keje ku especially bila berdiskusi dengan doktor2 di wad yang baik hati & 'mahu' berbincang ttg management patient... haku sgt tak suka kalu ada doktor2 yg mengambil kesempatan atau menganggap kami di lab tak de keje atau doktor 'low class'.. haku pon belaja sama macam u all jugak, 6 tawun jugak dok medikal skool, and now sama cam u ol jugak bertungkus lumus cuba menggenggam segulung lagi ijazah.. ewahh.. (apsal plak aku emo semacam nih??)

nway, apape pon, ku sangat suka dgn bidang yang ku ceburi...
sangat lah ku tak sangka buah cempedak menjadi nangka yang aku akan pilih MIKROBIOLOGI sebagai bidang kepakaran ku...

sebeno nya DH yang plan nak amik microb, aku nak jadi 'pakar O&G'.. tp ntah camane, masa dapat form utk apply trainee lecturer post @ microb dept, DH tak nak, so aku 'mencuba lah nasib'... dah rezeki agaknye, ku dapat post ni dan mula 'bercinta' dgn bidang ni... and nyata sekali ku memang jatuh chenta....

hahahah...

DAN ku tidak pernah menyesal meninggal kan wad kerana ku ada prioriti ku sendiri -- ku mahu lebih masa utk diri sendiri dan keluarga dan ternyata pilihan ku tepat... dan pada masa yg sama, ku masih dapat buat apa yang ku suka iaitu bidang klinikal & patients' management...

okay tu je, DH dah selesai and kami nak balik... babai

p/s Dian, esok apa plan??

MY HAPPY WHEEZER

HAPPY WHEEZERS = happy baby, but having wheeze

what it is exactly??

This is a condition in which a child, usually under 1 year old, has a chronic, persistent or intermittent wheeze, heard without a stethoscope, but is happy and smiling, not at all distressed.

It is thought that inflammation and oedema account for a more significant part of the airway obstruction in the very young child and hence bronchodilators are less effective.

The diagnosis "Happy wheezer" is thus for the most part a psychological reassurance, both for the parents and the physician. However, there is debate as to what the smiling actually means and whether is important to monitor oxygen levels in this apparently benign condition.

this happened to Faris since Monday.. but monday evening, he had wheeze but not really a happy one lah.. he looked 'uncomfortable' with the wheezing.. i'd partly blame the cold weather and rain in Cheras since morning and partly the 'secretions' that he had since God-knows-when..

i gave him syrup Ventolin, partly resolved but still wheezing..
when i listened to the chest -- wallahhh.. prolonged expiratory phase, rhonchi (wheezing) and also crepitations... temp - normal.. chest - subcostal recession but no laboured breathing..

i just watch an eye on him..
thank Allah, feeding OK, sleeping also OK. He was not cranky but i knew he was uncomfortable..
around 9.30pm, the wheezing almost gone.. and he slept soundly through the night.. alhamdulillah

but yesterday around 10am, my maid called up and
told me "Faris bernafas macam semalam la kak"

alamak.. my DH had a class in UM, and i stucked 'carless' (we carpooled today and he had the car keys)..
but later maid said, he slept ok after had his EBM.

@ 2pm, after DH finished his class we brought him to A&E..
his lungs had generalized rhonchi & creps.. so he had a nebuliser...
alamak.. payah nye nak bagi... he cried all the way.. cian nengok!!
then when the MO reviewed, lungs were clear, so he was discharged.

But then @5pm, when we were just about to leave the hospital ground, he wheezing again... huwarghh i'd blame the air-cond (in the car) this time (cos i left him with daddy in the car for 10 mins before i managed to 'cabut lari ' from bosses who were having discussion in front of the pintu jabatan)


so we went back to the A&E.. when examined, he still have the rhonchi and creps... (owh my poor baby...)
but no respiratory distress..
and he is the most happiest patient in the ER at that time.. ( I thanked Allah for that)

he had another nebs -- this time no crying at all.. the trick was -- i let him 'take' the mask voluntarily.. and being mummy's good boy, he was 95% compliant with the nebs.. (fuuhhh lega, at least i can guarantee he gets most of the medication)

after review, still generalized wheeze and creps.. so another nebs after half an hour.. (huwarghh kena tunggu lagi...)
so we waited, whilst i breastfed him.. then he slept..
this time much easier, with him soundly asleep, the nebs gets directly into his nostrils.. luckily the 'sound' of the gas did not scare him (or woke him up)..
after that, the lungs were clear.. alhamdulillah we went home.. cian kakak & abang (who cried gila-gila when we left the home with Faris)

last night, he was OK -- no more wheezing but he is still a HAPPY baby like always...

this morning, before i left -- i listened to his chest, alhamdulillah clear... creps also gone..
"hope that was our last visit to the asthma bay ok my dear Faris... "

so, the bottomline is:

if u are worried, just bring ur child to the nearest hospital... among the signs of respiratory distress (which necessitate emergency or immediate treatment) are:

- difficulty in breathing

- increased respiratory rate (normal : 20-40 per minute (infants), 20-30 per minute for preschool children)

- cyanosis (blue discoloration of face/extremities)

- fever, fits

- wheezing (not a happy one)
- use of accessory muscles eg neck muscles

- nasal flaring (idung kembang kempis bukan kerana dipuji )

- subcostal recession, intercostal recession

- chest indrawing


errr.. these are among the signs that i can still remember... uhh.. i tak buat Paeds rotation, so my knowledge agak kureng.. sorryyyyy.....

Haziq is potty trained

finally at his age of 33 months (2 years + 9 months)

i've tried to potty trained him during weekends (when maid not around), but once 'accident' ku malas nak layan so terus pakai kan CD balik.. ponek la nak mengemop je keje nye

now when maid is back, he is fully trained.. err accident did happened of course.. paling tak larat tu when he poo pooed (read: cirit ok) on my carpet.. huwarghhh bau dah la menariks!! sib baik ada maid hahaha

now i'm confidently announced he is potty trained @ daytime.. tido pakai lah of course...

hmm.. sebab utama i want to PT him sbb CDs for him were very limited. Most of my CDs are one-size so mostly dah 'turun' kan pada Faris..
and aku pon malas nak sopping CD lagi ye ke?? -- kalu nak belikan dia kena carik sized CD meaning the expensive, US-made CDs isk.. tak nak beli lagi.. cukup lah tu


now, more money saved on diapers... and no more shopping CDs ye mummy Norley!! (banyak dah CD tuh!!).. and now i'm thinking -- patutkah ku let go separuh daripada CD2 ku?? atau patutkah ku simpan je utk adik Faris?? (fuhh 'adik Faris'?? NGERIS aku denga ok...)

Where Are We Heading?

These days we have taller buildings,

but shorter tempers, wider freeways,

narrower viewpoints, spend more, but have less,

buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses, smaller families,

more conveniences, less time,

more degrees, less sense,

more knowledge, less judgement,

more experts, but more problems,

more medicines, less wellness.

We drink too much, spend too recklessly,

laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry quickly,

stay up late, get up tired, read too little,

watch TV too much and pray too seldom.

We talk too much, love too seldom, hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.

We've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been to the moon and back,

but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbours.

We've conquered outer space, but not inner space.

We've done large things but not better things.

We've cleaned the air, but polluted the soul.

We've split the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less.

We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, not to wait.

We have higher incomes, but less morals.

With computers, we have more informations, but less communication.

We long for quantity, but are short on quality.

We have double incomes, but more divorces,

fancier houses, but broken homes.

So where are we heading?

Perhaps, it's time to stop and reflect.

owh.. haku ni asyik mengeluh je kan... saba je lah ye ihikss... memanjang la 24jam sehari tak cukup.. worang lain pon 24 jam sehari kan... uhuk uhuk uhuk...

naper October stok 'ciput'??

dari entry terdahulu.. aku nak menjawab la soklan di atas..

cerite nye begini ewahh... (mode: self-defending)

Sejak aku kena thrush, rutin mengepam aku pon ‘weng’!!

Kena thrush tu awal October – so 3 hari aku makan Fluconazole tab tu aku just pam and buang EBM.

Seminggu lepas tu pon, aku tak pulun stock sangat, sbb bagi Faris fresh EBM je..

3^rd week Oct – aku agak sibuk and tak pam sangat belah pagi. Pastu freezer pon anta ke opistal sbb rumah takde letrik satu hari.. and Faris still enjoying fresh EBM most of the days..

pastu 5 hari kat KB, mmg tak buat stock. Mostly Faris BF direct and pam utk bekal dia masa aku gi conference 2 hari tu je.. malas nak buat stock sgt since we all balik naik ‘oplen’ nnt payah berat plak nak hangkut stock banyak2 – tak banyak tak banyak pon, dapat la bawak balik 4-5 botol of 4oz EBM..

pastu dah masuk bulan baru – NOVEMBER.. sebab tu lah stock bulan 10 ada ‘ciput’ aje…

Ni masuk November, aku pam 2x je siang… uhuk uhuk.. takut ‘merajuk’ je…

Tp pagi mmg tak larat nak bangun awal weih… Faris pon sgt kuat ‘bergantung’ malam sekarang ni..

Now dh ada maid, aku tak risau sgt psl bekal dia kat rumah.. freezer pon dh bawak balik.. selalu aku tinggalkan 4-5 botol je.. tp dah up jadi 4oz tau…

Faris plak menyusu 3x je..

Aku plak kat opistal, kalu pam tghari leh dapat 12-13oz.. belah ptg kalau tak sempat, balik rumah aku pam sebelah sambil direct BF Faris… leh la dapat lagi 5-6oz… uhuk uhuk… kalau ikut ‘math’ mmg cukup -cukup untuk bekal and buat stock 1-2 botol…

Cam semalam, aku pam kul 9 – dapat 8oz, kul 2pm dapat lagi 8oz.. petang tak sempat pam, balik bagi direct je.. and semalam ada lebih 2 botol (plus 2 botol yang hari sebelum yang tak naik freezer lagi), ku dapat la simpan sume 4 botol perahan semalam utk stocks… and turunkan 1 botol frozen EBM…

Hari ni, ku pam agak lewat sbb ‘stucked’ dgn keje.. pam kol 12 dapat la 13oz…kul 3pm ni dapat la 7oz lagi... hmm.. cukup la untuk hari ni nampaknye...

esok ku on-call so kena gak tinggal untuk Faris di rumah...

cukup tak explanation men'defend' diri tu?? heheheh

---

bila takde... bila ade....

BILA takde maid…

Pening kepala tengok rumah sepah..

Kelam-kabut memasak, mengemas & uruskan anak2 dan DH

Tp senang gak hati sebab sume keje kita buat sendiri… penat tu tak yah cakap tapi MMG puas hati sebab anak2 mmg dengan kita je…

Bila ada maid…

Rumah kemas… bermop setiap hari. Turun2 takde la terpijak mainan yang sepah sana sini… dapur pon kemas tak berminyak sana sini.. sinki pon kosong takde ‘penghuni’

TAPI…

Pening kepala tang lain plak…

Pening sebab hari-hari dok mintak suruh belikan SIM card… “apa kau tak paham bahasa ke bila aku cakap tak boleh??”

Risau jugak tinggalkan anak2 kat rumah.. risau jugak dia lari ke hape ke…

Risau plak dia carik ‘cara’ lain untuk dapatkan SIM card…

Konklusi nye…
MAID INDON ni – memang tak boleh bagi muka, tak boleh dipercayai… sume naik lemak, nak ambik kesempatan aje…

Kita baik2 and berlembut ngan dia, dia pijak pale kita…

kita garang sket atau kurang berlembut, dia kata kita dera…

memang tak sedar diuntung!!!!

Padan muka kalau aku anta balik duduk je kat Indon tuh!!!! padan jugak muka aku jugak

Owh… sampai bila la kita ni nak bergantung dgn maid Indon nih???

Aku takde lah sampai terasa nak berenti keje.. sebab kalu berenti keje – income kureng.. pale aku pon pening sebab asyik ‘gaduh’ ngan anak2 je ehehhehe.. isk isk tok leh tok leh...

Cuma aku tak sabar nak abis belajar nih… huwarghhh…. Kalau aku takde status ‘student’ lagi sure hidup ku lebih aman walaupon tarak maid, kan kan kan….. (betulkah??)

Faris today

today we both took a day off...

sbb nak fetch our maid @LCCT...

so dah alang2 cuti, bawak Faris gi cucuk DPT+Hib+IPV 2nd dose...

pegi pon dh lewat sbb mengemas2 rmh sket... ye w'pon dah cuti sabtu ahad masih tak abis mengemas hahahha

lagi plak aku tak nak la rumah nampak sgt cam tongkang pecah bila maid aku balik nanti... kang dia ingat aku tak reti mengemas langsung plak.. betoi tak???

Fatini sekolah cam biasa... daddy dia anta siap breakfast kat kedai mamak lu... last week pon daddy cuti so anta gi sekolah.. suka lah dia

kol 10 lebih baru gi klinik @ Tasik Permaisuri.. ingatkan takde la ramai orang kat klinik sbb hari keje kann...

tapi ropa-ropanye... RAMAI... orang dtg amik MC kot.. maklum la "monday blues" agaknye hehehhe

punyalah lama.... kul 11.30 baru kena panggil...

Nway, Faris weighed 7.9kg... fuihhh... semangat anak mummy sorang nih...

cucukk kat peha.. okay tak nangeh langsung.. Dr tu plak yg komplen sbb susah nak tekan plunger masa cucuk dia.. hahhahah very gumuk 'muscular' la anak mummy!!

pastu komplen plak kat Dr sbb Faris banyak secretions... dia tanya family history of asthma / allergy... hmmm.. family aku mmg ada history asthma and allergy nih.. DH denied any history of those..

kitorang 2 takde asthma/allergy

Fatini mmg ada eczema.. Haziq alhamdulillah takde pape..

dengar dada dia, Dr ckp cam ada wheezing, siap dia passed stethoscope kat aku.. a'ah laaa... ada expiratory wheezing la... isk.. ari tu kat rumah ok je...

hmm.. takut kena asthma plak.. Dr pesan, keep BF as long as possible sebab nak elak dari kena milk's protein allergy etc..

insyaAllah akan ku teruskan BF dia sampai yg termampu... alhamdulillah so far Faris sihat dan tak pernah demam walaupon duduk nursery.. secretions tu mmg ada
most of the time, tp akan hilang kalau dia batuk and 'telan' kahak tuh.. harapnya takde pape lah...

Dr bagi Leftose kat dia... harap2 leh ok.. "mintak2 tak de la sampai kena asthma, ye cayang bucuk mummy kan...."

MySusu update..

mmg dah lama rasenye tak update psl susu Faris...



dulu ada member2 yg ckp ku obsess dgn EBM and stocks etc sbb siap ada list baper byk EBM ku dapat every pump session..

hari2 mengira stocks dlm freezer...



tp now aku tak buat lagi keje tu..

sebab apa??

sebab MASA...

sebab banyak KERJA...





tp yang ku tahu, freezer ku mmg hampir penuh... sampai kan ku jadi cam malas nak pam banyak2 sbb takut tak muat dah... (tak boleh kan?? Nanti susu mengurang... arghhh ku tahu itu!!!)



last week, bila rumah takde letrik, ku terpaksa hangkut freezer ke opistal.. so sempat la ku mengira stok yang ada..

July -- 5
August -- 52
Sept -- 73
Oct -- 27



mesti ada yg cakap, July nye stock patut dah expired kan?? hmm... ku amik 'pukul rata' 4 bulan aci tak?? Sbb org cakap deep freezer leh simpan up to 6 months, tp aku nye drawer freezer, kalu chest/deep freezer tu aku confident simpan up to 6 months, tp freezer aku ni, aku kasik can 4 bulan je lah...


ada sesape ada drawer freezer kah?? Baper bulan anda simpan stok anda ye???

pehtu... apsal October sket sangat??? -- naper ye?? Nanti aku jawab...

kalau ikutkan, Faris baru je ku 'up' kan susu dia jadi 4oz per feeding. Sebelum ni takat 3.5oz je.. tu pon kalau bekalkan 6 botol mmg ada lebih 1-2 botol.. meaning dia minum 14-17.5 oz/day (from 7am-6pm) sahaja.


aku plak alhamdulillah selalu kalau pam 3x (pas subuh & 2x kat opis) dapat la at least 25oz.. so kalu balance hari sebelum ada 2, meaning more EBM for stocks..


last week, ku tak pam pas subuh langsung.. teruk kan??!!!

sebab, ku akan paksa Faris minum dulu hehehhe.. kalu dia minum dulu before gi nursery meaning even less EBM he'll consume @nursery..

ni dah masuk bulan baru, maid dh balik, hope aku dapat back to routine pumping sessions... uhuk uhuk... pagi2 mmg kena pam lah, sbb kadang dh sampai opis tu, tak sempat nak ngepam dah...

buat masa ni, susu okay lagi.. harap tak merudum mogok la sbb ku tak kerap pam.. tp ku rase sbb Faris pon kinda reverse cycled, dia mmg kerap 'bergantung' bila aku di rumah.. malam pon dia leh bangun sampai 3-4x.. tp Aiman aku tak kisah, sbb aku BF dia sambil baring.. dia kenyang dia cabut lah sendiri.. owhh that's the 'beauty' of BF kan kan kan.. senang & economical


Esok lusa nak gi amik freezer balik... leh organize balik bebetul... sempat kalu ku boh gamba....

okay calo...

rambut...

my hair never a problem to me except 'postpartumly'..

the last time i cut my hair was 2+ years ago - when Haziq was few months old..
reason being as usual... gugur!! bersepah2 atas lantai, dalam bathroom, atas bantal everywhere...

since my hair is straight and 'sikit'.. it doesn't cause me trouble.. senang manage etc.. tambah plak pakai tudung, so no hal lah..

but since few weeks back... the 'problem' (read: keguguran) strikes again...

so yesterday was a 'finale'.. i asked my hubby to cut them off.. hahahhah bunyi ganaz je... mmg i told him to literally KERAT my hair.. kerat JUST below the shoulder. Bukan tak nak gi kedai, cos if gi kedai i'll sure terus 'boycut' potong pendek... tambah plak susah mau carik kedai yang bertutup aku yang tak reti nak carik!!

and he did... (bunyi dia mengerat tu mmg ngeri.. cam witch potong rambut rapunzel tuh..)
bayangkan my '2yrs old' hair dikerat sampai shoulder length... uhuk uhuk... (tp rambut ku walaupon 2 tawun, takde la panjang sampai pinggang pon... almost je)
but nope... i don't regret it... in fact i think that's the only way...
if not, lagi bersepah2 rambut sana sini...
even Faris sometimes 'penuh' ngan rambut esp bila nyusu malam or tergolek atas katil..

so, that's it... next hair-cutting tak tau la berapa tawun lagi... tunggu next 'post-partum' hairfall lah hahahhaha
