08-10-08: Blog to be renamed...

Went to see Dr Susannah just now. Baby's okay, Ja's UTI's okay, no more premature contractions, the baby is now 2.9kg on her 35th week. And obviously, yes, since the baby is too big for Ja's pelvic to handle, we've booked the OT for a c-section operation at 10am on 08.10.08. Ja has opted for epidural under Dr Wahida, instead of spinal. Saja nak try.. haha.. maybe this time I can sleep well without having pillows thrown at me... hehehe but with that comes the extra bucks.. epidural costs extra 1k or thereabouts! Doktor kanak-kanak is still Dr Azizi. I like his style.

After 08.10.08 this blog will be renamed... will add another name to it... some people have already known the baby's name... no thanks to Rayyan! Budak kecik tu tak boleh simpan rahsia langsung! And guess who was the first person other than 3 of us who knew of the name? Wa & Anaz!! (you guys jangan bagi tau Nana or any adik-beradik and ipar-ipar korang, ok! hahahaha... and Nana jangan menyebok! hahahaaaa bagila chance ada suspense sikit.. hehe)

Now the whole family knows and they kept asking Rayyan to say the name out loud, coz somehow the way Rayyan pronounce it is so COOL! Sedap telinga mendengar... hehe..

Checked for the 2nd last time and it's still a girl.. so insyaAllah it stays that way hehe... the last checkup is on 30th September.

Mama and Papa's Wedding Anniversary

8th September 2008. 5 years on... and how we celebrated? Hmm... Ja was too tired, being 33+ weeks pregnant.. me.. too sakit badan lenguh sendi and sengal-sengal otot from lifting all the kuih raya boxes from Kajang, Gombak and Damansara...

Called Ja earlier that day if she was up to it... to bukak posa some place nice... she said tengoklaa.. we ended up just bukak posa kat rumah... and by 9pm Ja dah tido terbongkang... leaving me and Rayyan playing the Wii... (Rayyan is getting good at "Bowling" and other stuff as well.. he has beaten Felishia, Felishia's bf, Atok, and even me!)

Now Ja dah start bengkak-bengkak kaki... she never had this masa Rayyan's time and now she also starts to find it harder to remove her rings from her fingers.... but she's one hell of a strong pregnant lady *RESPECT* *TABIK SPRING*

Nantilaaa.. we'll have our own time berdua-duaan dalam wad after bersalin nanti.. hehe with her throwing her pillow at me again trying to wake me up to ask the nurses for painkillers.. hahahaha

2 year-old memories...

After I posted the last entry about how well Rayyan will remember what he experiences now as a 4 year-old later in life, I was quite shocked at the things he remembered while he was 2!

We were in our car around KL and we passed the Jalan Tun Razak where you can see the lovely KLCC skyline when suddenly Rayyan said, "Papa... Nenek and Atok sleep there at KLCC.. Ayyan (he calls him self that.. as in "iron") tak sleep there... nenek and atok je..."

That was when my brother organized a conference at KL Concention Centre and he had 2 complimentary rooms at the super-cool Traders Hotel. That conference was in 2006, when Rayyan was just 2! My mom and dad stayed there. Me, Ja, and Rayyan just visited them that night. The room was marvellous... the view was both towers of the twin tower and the Suria KLCC. That's as close as you can get to get the best view of the Petronas Towers.

I love talking to Rayyan to find out more about what he knows and what he can remember.. just to test a kid's mind. Love doing that!

Oh, I forgot to mention that I just balded his head. Haha.. nanti I post up photos. My bad.. tersilap trim.. so kena botakkan je... and this guy, bila dah botak, lagi la perangai dia YaRabbi! Naughty yang amat! Dunnola maybe the nature of a sibling expecting another...

Anyway, one night in the car (I love travelling with Rayyan in the car as we get to talk a lot).. Ja was asking this question.... "Rayyan why are you sooo naughty?!"

He answered... "That's what boys do best!"

Mak datok! How la to deal with a kid like that?! Hahahaha

Memories of a 4 year old dad

There was a bunch of old photos at home and i found this one. This is actually the oldest photo taken of me that I recovered. Used to be angry at my mom when she was in the religion-discovery phase where people around her were saying "simpan gambar haram". There goes all my baby photos, now may already been burned into smoke and flew to heaven.

That's me at 4 years old. About the age of Rayyan now. It's a miracle that I can remember things that happen to me during that age. I remembered taking this photo in a studio in KL just before the Setapak balai polis from Bulatan Pahang. We took a cab from my grandparents home in Setapak Garden.

I also remembered that I was too lazy to come down from the bed after waking up in the morning to pee that I peed on the blanket and rolled it up. Can't remember what I did after that though.

I remembered that I can actually read some words from the newspapers. I would spread the papers on the floor and find words that I know how to read.

All these happened when I was 4.

Which makes me wonder... what memories of him at 4 years old will he bring once he grows older and have kids of his own...

That's why I created this blog.
