Hari Raya Haji=2nd Birhday Afnan

tahun ini, tahun yg istimewa buat kami. kami dapat menyambut hari raya AidilAdha bersama keluarga di kampung. Alhamdulillah. dah 7 tahun hari raya haji disambut tanpa seri, insyaAllah harap2nya hari raya kali ini makin meriah,lebih2 lagi ramai sanak saudara yg mungkin balik ke kelantan utk menyambut hari raya bersama2.

tapi, hari raya kali ini terasa sedihnya. actually, sedih sangat2. tahun ini hari raya haji cukup 2 tahun Ahmad Afnan pergi. sedihnye bile teringat kat Afnan… bergetar rasa di hati bila menaip ayat ini. Afnan…rindunya ibu kat Afnan. Haikal adik Afnan pon dah besar. bilalah ibu dapat jumpa Afnan sayang? semoga roh anak ibu menunggu ibu di sana…sayang anak ibu!

Selamat Hari Lahir ke 2 sayang…

salam syg dr ibu..

Esok hari raya!!!

tak sangka, dah hampir 3 minggu kami pulang ke Malaysia. seronok betul merasai suasana berpuasa bersama family, berbuka bersahur bersama setelah 7 tahun berpuasa beraya di negara orang. terasa betul kelainannya. mmg x sama. bersama family terasa sgt meriah. lagi2 seronok tgk mcm2 gerai makanan yg tumbuh mcm cendawan di sepanjang jalan. seronok.lagi2 tahun ini bertambah meriah dengan kehadiran Ahmad Haikal penyeri keluarga kami.

.

Alhamdullillah.syukur sgt2 semua berjalan dgn lancar. ahmad haikal pon dh 2 bulan lebih umurnya.sihat dan segar bugar. dah lenguh tangan menganggkatnya sekarang. rasanya dh 6 kg kot berat nya skrg. mmg berat. chubby anak ibu itu. kdg2 bila melihatnya tersenyum, terasa segala kesusahan yg lepas terbayar dgn sendirinya. terfikir, mungkin inilah anugerah yg Allah nak kasi selepas kehilangan Afnan. Allah dtgkan anak comel ini sbg peneman menggantikan abangnya. sekali sekala tersasul juga memanggil Haikal dgn nama abangnya,Afnan. bukan ibu,ayah pon sama.tokbah nya pun selalu tersalah memanggil Haikal dgn Afnan.sungguh, nama Afnan begitu terpahat di hati. tapi Haikal pon kami syg. sama dgn abangnya.tak lebih tak kurang. cuma sbb Afnan tak ada di depan mata, kami selalu mengingatinya.

.

esok sudah hari raya. kali pertama kami beraya di kampung halaman setelah 7 tahun beraya di perantauan.sungguh gembira hati ini.rasanya semua org pon sama. kesyahduan juga terasa setelah ramadhan berlalu pergi.terasa amalan byk yg kurang. menyesal tak memanfaatkan sepenuhnya bulan rahmat itu.semoga umur masih panjang utk berjumpa ramadhan seterusnya.

.

kepada kwn2, selamat hari raya maaf zahir batin ya maaflah kalau ada terkasar bahasa tersilap bicara terkurang mana2…kalau ada kelapangan bagi yg kenal,dtgla ke rumah suami hari raya ke 4 nanti,kami buat majlis aqiqah utk Ahmad Haikal putera kami ini.jemputla….

.

salam lebaran dari kami,

Muhammad Saifuddin,Norhafizah, dan Ahmad Haikal

idulfitri 1430H

Y c-sect???

well…it was so unexpected for me to go for caesarean section considering that i  had my first baby(afnan) via spotaneous vaginal delivery. however, that is what happened to me on last 13th july 2009!

y?? to explain it in simpler terms, it was because of ‘failure to progress into labour’ after the induction process which was commenced on the monday,the 12th july. people will then ask, y was i induced (at 39 weeks)??it was because my pregnancy this time was considered as high risk pregnancy (i had to go to monday’s high risk clinic in CUMH during my pregnancy ) because of my previous stillbirth baby. since the doctors could not find out the cause of my afnan’s death till now, they had decided to induce me at 39 weeks to prevent from the same thing happened to afnan from happening again this time.  mind u that afnan was delivered at 41 weeks( actually it was 6 days post EDD).

well, as this  pregnancy was a high risk one, i had a very frequent antenatal check up in CUMH as compared to my first pregnancy. beyond 12 weeks gestation, i had several check ups done. i had anomaly scan done at around 22 weeks, and 4 weekly scan afterward until i was around 36 weeks,and 2 weekly afterwards. most of the scan done by the consultants themselves.it is a privilege here, as most high risk mothers will be seen by consultants, regardless if u are public or private patients( i am public patients, no money maa to pay for the costly health insurance ;o). and the antenatal and maternity care during pregnancy and up to 6 weeks post delivery is free of charge here in Ireland.u dont have to pay a single penny for their service during ur pregnancy, which somehow saved us a lot of money! (well, that money we saved for the delivery will be allocated for baby’s future ASB instead.)

i read somewhere in someone’s blog that the cost of caesarean section delivery and stay for 3 nights and 4 days and one of the private hospitals in M’sia costs about RM 10,000 altogether. quite a lot. luckily, haikal was born in Cork!alhamdulillah…

hope this blog saves me from answering the question ‘y am i having c-sect’

thanks 4 reading this n 4 ur concern :)

doakan…

Alhamdulillah…syukur ke hadrat Ilahi kerana mengurniakan sy peluang sekali lagi merasa nikmat mengandungkan anak kedua setelah apa yg terjadi semasa kelahiran anak pertama kesayangan kami, Ahmad Afnan yg meninggal tanggal 27/11/07 semasa labour.

kesedihan lama masih bersisa, tapi diharap kehadiran anak kedua ini insyaAllah makin membahagiakan kehidupan rumahtangga kami.

di sini, di kesempatan yg makin singkat ini sebelum hari kelahiran anak kedua ini yg hanya menunggu hari, saya ingin memohon kemaafan dari saudara-mara, sahabat handai,rakan taulan jikalau kami (saya dan suami) ada melakukan sebarang kesilapan, kesalahan samada sengaja atau tidak disengajakan. jikalau kami masih ada hutang yg bersisa, sila la tuntut sbb kdg2 kami mungkin lupa.

semoga kalian mendoakan kesejahteraan kami sekeluarga,dan semoga Allah memudahkan kelahiran anak ini yg bakal menjadi permata hati kami. doakan kami ya ..
wassalam..

Su.Do.Ku.

i have developed this ‘fancyness’ towards playing S.U.D.O.K.U
this past few weeks. thanks to hubby who was the person encouraging me to play this game. i still remember the conversation we had when he started to suggest me to indulge myself into playing sudoku.

one day, he said to me when he got home from work, ‘my consultant said if we dont use our brain, it will get rusty’. ’sudoku is the best game to stimulate the brain’. ‘and its good for baby’s brain development too’

i remember the conversation we had,.. in patches.could not remember exactly why he wanted me to play the game. maybe he wants the baby to be super-genius like him in Maths (so that the baby can enter the Olympiad) ;p,
but i complained to him that time that sudoku is a difficult game to play. i always ended up could not find the numbers to fill in the blanks. and i will get fed up easily if that happens.

i thought the game is by playing guesssing what number should we put in the blank boxes. how wrong i am. Actually,it is a game where u play by scrutinizing, and evaluating, what number and where should we fill in the number, so that we dont get the same number twice either horizontally or vertically.

i started to play with it.it was hard in the beginning, i took almost one whole day just to finish the ‘easy level’ of sudoku. then, it becomes easier and easier by practice. i started to develop this ‘eagle eye’, looking for the correct number to put in the correct boxes. from few hours initially, i managed to reduce the time consume to finish each sudoku in few minutes (well, half an hour or less). i was so proud of myself. hehe…

and then,just for suka-suki, i participated in sudoku daily quiz in www.pigsback.com. i did not get to be the winner for the past few days i tried, but i do not want to succumb to it. today, i entered the quiz at 12.01 midnight last night. i just wanted to be the first person to play the sudoku in order to increase the chance of me winning the game. then, it was a surprise the next morning that i figured out that i was the winner of the day!!!! yeay!!!super-duper excited!! i rang hubby at work straight away to announce the result. yeay!!!happy!!!

i was rewarded 1000 piggy points to be the winner of the game, in which it equals to 10 euros. which also means, i can either claim the 10 euros as a voucher, or claim for any rewards listed. in my mind, i was thinking of either claim it as A-wear 10 euros voucher, or 10euros value of o2 credit top-up. yeay..rezeki.

happy..happy…happy!!!!!i’m so happy to be the winner. Alhamdulillah…happy!!!
