The 32 weeks' entry

Ok. As usual, I was not in the mood & too tired and exhausted after work to update in the whole last week. Sorry guys, harap memahami keadaan ibu yang sarat mengandung ni.

And so, last Thursday, we went over to our condo to check on the renovation progress. Waahh so far so good! The contractor has completed the electrical wiring work & installed the balcony's and front door grills. :-) Oh they had done the ceiling medallion for the fans too.

All unit should have same grill design - as instructed by the Developer

On Saturday, encik husband & I went back to my kampung to visit my grandmother. The last time I saw my nenek was during Hari Raya last year.. Nenek pun cakap, "Korang ni balik jumpa nenek sekali setahun je". Mak & Abah just arrived shortly before us. And I met my littlest cousin, Arisya! Masa raya haritu die kecik sangat, asek nangis-nangis je. Sekarang dah besar dah! Rindu dah kat Arisya! :-( Tak sabar sangat nak dukung Baby Girl bila tengok Arisya ni..

Papa ni macam dukung anak je kan? Baby Girl, bila baby dah lahir nanti, kita main dengan Auntie Arisya yek.. Tak lama lagi musim buah - ada rambutan & durian. Nak ajak encik husband balik kampung. Pregnant lady boleh makan durian tak? Saya teringin nak makan durian ni!

I did surveyed a few brands of water heater & especially fridges! Semalam tengok di Jusco, macam berkenan either LG or Toshiba, sebab space besar! And yes Suraya you're very right, hehehe.. Panasonic tak best sebab yg aku survey for 290L, space sangat limited & ye jugak, Panasonic freezer kat bawah, leceh! Mak mertua aku pakai Panasonic fridge tapi besar giler punyelah, space banyak tapi susah nak membongkok amik barang-barang. Mak aku kat rumah pakai LG, rasanya paling OKlah. So either LG or Toshiba. Nisa, nak tunggu staff purchase sales bulan June macam lambat sangat. Kamu takde staff discount ke kalau beli sekarang? Hehehe.. Ataupun, aku beli jelah dulu fridge, mane tau bulan June nanti ada duit lebih boleh beli LCD TV lak. Plasma belum cukup mampu lagi kot? ;-) Oh ye, LCD TV which brand is OK? Tengok Samsung kat rumah mak macam tak cantik sangat gambarnya.

Mama Yusuf Rayyan @ Dilanun dah pun pulang bekerja semula bermula Khamis last week. And another colleague, Kak Zah pun dah selamat melahirkan baby dia Sabtu lepas. Sekarang, tinggal saya sorang je yang masih membuyung in the Department. I am in my 32nd week = 8 months now. Genap 2 bulan je lagi nak bersalin. Baby Girl pun dah makin aktif & lasak sangat sangat dalam perut ni. What the above ticker said is totally right! Baby macam dah makin besar dah tak muat nak pusing-pusing dalam perut Mama ni. Okaayyyyy, dia macam paham je Mama dia tengah tulis pasal dia dalam blog ni sebab dia sedang dengan seronoknya stretching her body all-out! inside my tummy!!!

Ok. Till then. :-)

Preparation for Our New House - Part I

Okay, so we had planned since last week to buy all those kitchen & electrical appliances for the new house during weekend. And Alhamdulillah, our mission has been accomplished! Lega! We've spent nearly RM3K for those. Yesterday, we went to one of the shop in SS15 & managed to get ourselves these things at affordable prices. Nasib baik nampak iklan dalam The Star the night before!! :-)

Dah beli terus hantar rumah baru..

1. Rubine Kitchen Hob
2. Rubine Kitchen Sink & Tap
3. Wash basin for dining area with stainless steel bottle trap

We really recommend this shop - GBH Bathroom Product Sdn Bhd (if Im not mistaken), located just behing KFC SS15. They sell many range & type of good quality stainless steel bathroom products and the prices are very very OK. Sesape yang nak pindah rumah baru, bolehlah datang sini banyak sangat choice of products for bathroom and kitchen. Most of the products they have are from renowned brands.

Oh, bila tengok rumah semalam, nampaknya kontraktor dah start buat keje. Dinding kitchen pun dah kena hack dah. Yeay!

This is the sketch for our new kitchen area..

Tak sabarnya nak memasak di dapur baru!! Hehe.. ;-) - "Yelah tu!", qouting my Mum.
Divider / Display Shelf

Nak suruh contractor buat space between glass shelf tu besar skit. Masa kahwin haritu banyak dapat hadiah Bohemian Crystals, ingat nak letak kat situ. Tapi tak surelah glass tu cukup kuat tak nak menampung crystal yang berat tu. Kalau tak, nanti kite cari porcelain saucer+cup yang comel-comel. Btw, dah jumpa dah kedai jual porcelain plates & cups & macam-macam lagi barang porcelain yang comel-comel giler kat area Sunway.

In the afternoon, we went back to Shah Alam to search for lamps. Beli lampu je dah habis RM1K lebih. Tu pun nasib baik kedai lampu tu tengah sale. Semua benda kitorang mintak kurang dari Cina salesman tu. Qouting my husband, "Ni baru apartment, belum beli rumah double storey ke, banglo ke, berapa ribu nak abis beli lampu je."

And today, first thing in the morning, we went to the clinic for my check-up. Bila register, tengok-tengok no giliran jumpa doc macam lambat lagi. So, we agreed to go to Subang 2 (iklan dalam paper jugak), mencari ceiling fan pulak. Sampai-sampai sana, kedai tu tutup lagi. Sebab perut dah lapar, kami pergi late breakfast di area Kg Melayu Subang. Dan akhirnya, berjaya dapatkan 5 unit ceiling fan! Oh baby fan untuk study room Encik Husband lagi mahal dari ceiling fan Master bedroom yeee..

Other major things left to buy:-

1. Air-cond = 2 unit
2. Water-heater = 1 unit
3. A new fridge, please!! :-) - Auntie Rose (my neighbour) bagitau tadi bulan June, Panasonic ada buat sale giler-giler. Dia advise beli fridge masa Panasonic sale, boleh dapat harga yang sangat murah.

Susahnya beli kondo/apartment, kalau kita nak buat renovation/moving-in or out, semuanya kena bagi deposit kepada developer. Nak renovate haritu, kami dah spend RM500 for owner deposit. Contractor pun kena deposit gak, RM3K tapi nasib baik contractor tu willing to absorb. Ada jugak contractor yang tak nak absorb deposit tu, so owner kenalah bayarkan. Deposit memanglah refundable, tapi lecehlah kan, sebab time nilah kita nak guna banyak cash. Memang sangat pening beli rumah baru. So, you guys yang dah plan membeli rumah dalam masa setengah tahun ke setahun akan datang, silalah menabung dengan secermatnya bermula dari saat ni. Oh ye, boleh juga keluarkan EPF. Tapi, kami tak keluarkan duit EPF langsung kali ni, sebab ingat nak save it for the near future - bila nak membeli rumah yang lebih besar selepas ni. InsyaAllah.

Wahhhh, harini baby Girl dalam perut Mama ni beratnya dah 1.6kg. Ok tak? :-) Uri pun dah ada kat atas. Baby Girl, sila bersedia untuk keluar dari perut Mama dalam masa sebulan setengah dari sekarang.

Oklah guys, till then.

Happy day!

Alhamdulillah.. The husband & I are very happy & excited today! This morning, we went to the developer office with my parents in-law to collect our condo keys - without having to pay the late interest first! ;-) We were told by them yesterday that our case will be brought to the Board meeting for further deliberation. Hmm.. many thanks to Abah Najib! Kalau tak Abah mintak tolong kawan dia, sure takkan boleh dapat kunci rumah harini selagi tak bayar interest charge & sure dah melayang beberapa ribu RM bayar interest je kan? Hopefully dapat waiver or at least diskaun la kan, bila dah masuk Board meeting ni. So, tadi dah terus engaged contractor untuk renovation & wiring semua. Half of the day dok di rumah baru, gi tengok-tengok rumah-rumah yg contractor tu tengah buat untuk cari idea for kitchen cabinet & etc. Dan akhirnya, dah dapatlah satu design yang sangat cantik & memuaskan. Overall budget for the renovation & wiring & buying of electrical appliances is nearly 20K. Alhamdulillah rezeki baby Izzah Humaira ni semuanya dipermudahkan untuk family kami.

Baby pun asek tendang-tendang & buat akrobatik non-stop dalam perut Mama sepanjang Mama discuss dengan Papa & Tok Abah & Tok Mama masa kat rumah baru tadi. Dia pun excited jugak nak pindah rumah baru, kan Baby? :-) Estimated time untuk semua renovation siap = 1 month. Next week contractor dah boleh start kerja. Tak sabarrrrrrr sangat nak masuk rumah baru!! Yeah!!

Ok, this is Mama Mizah latest pic at 30 weeks.
Shera, cantik tak baju sayeeee?? Pembetulan, I'm still below 60 kgs. Hehehe. Tapi tak taulah kalau penimbang berat di rumah ni tak betul ke kan. Tapi rasenye betul. :-)

Ok, Surayatul saye dah update. Puas hati x?

Ok, till then.

Wedding & Babies

First of all, I would like to wish an old friend, Pn Radiyah & her husband, Selamat Pengantin Baru! Their wedding was on last Saturday- I missed it as I was in Jerantut with my family for another event. So Rad, if u read this – May Allah bless you guys & Moga kalian berbahagia hingga hujung nyawa. To Mira, kenduri kamu insyaAllah aku pasti akan hadirkan diri walaupun sedang begitu sarat dan menunggu hari. Sila sediakan door gift terrrrrrrrbaikkkkkkkkkkkk untuk aku, ok? Hehehehe…

Encik husband & I took a day-off last Friday to follow his parents to Jerantut (dasar malas nak drive kereta sendiri..hehe) to attend a cousin’s wedding – Sarah aka Toya. We woke up veryyyyyyyyyyy early on the Friday morning - tabik pada diri sendiri + diri suami, sebab nak ke bank membuat pengeluaran wang beribu-ribu (woow!) untuk settlement of late interest charge rumah baru kami. The loan is FINALLY disbursed on Monday last week..memang betul-betul penantian yang hampir tak berpenghujung. We were supposed to collect our house keys yesterday & paid the Developer our late interest charge. Tetapi, selepas campur tangan Abah atas isu late interest kami yang sangat banyak ni, both of us agreed to postpone our mission to get our hands on the house keys soonest possible to start with the kitchen renovation and every little thing else. Abah is trying to help us in getting the late interest waived – hopefully with a little help from the veto power, we won’t have to spend even a single cent for the interest charge. Serius geram giler dengan Developer ni. Let us wait & see the outcome from Abah’s interference in this issue. Eceewaah.. Kalau kes ni berpihak kepada kami, kami akan dedahkan kepincangan yang telah dilakukan pihak mereka! Hehe, macam Karam Singh Walia pulak dah. Oh by the way, we have ordered new furnitures for the house – living & dining room set. Sangat menggembirakan dan mengujakan!!!

The journey to Jerantut took less than 3 hours. Disebabkan saya masih tak biasa dengan highway Karak yg bersimpang-siur dan menakutkan itu (is it just me?), saya tak boleh tidur sepanjang perjalanan, especially bila Abah pun drive laju giler macam nak race. Hehehe. Had our late lunch at one of the restaurant nearby our hotel. Dapat jugaklah merasa ikan patin masak tempoyak. Baru je paginya cakap kat encik Husband teringin nak makan patin– sebab ternampak ada iklan ikan patin masak tempoyak masa breakfast di Pasar Seksyen 6. Tercapai jua hasrat, walaupun bukanlah di gerai-gerai ikan patin yg gempak macam di Temerloh dan yang selalu keluar di Majalah 3 tu. Checked in and both of us had a nap sampai dekat Maghrib. Sangat letih, walaupun cuma duduk di seat belakang kereta. ;-)

The akad nikah ceremony was held on the next morning. So, that Friday night we went over to Sarah’s house for khatam Quran ceremony. Saya jumpa baby Farah! Baik sangat Farah ni tak nangis-nangis pun. Nanti boleh kawan dengan baby Mak Ngah ye.. Oh most probably our baby girl will be named - Izzah Humaira. But not yet finalized la. Boleh panggil Maira kan, macam anak Auntie Mur. Izzah means Kemuliaan, Kekuatan. Humaira means Putih Kemerah-merahan.

Baby Farah, my favourite baby girl!

These pics were taken during the wedding ceremony on Saturday.
My 2nd favourite guy, Adham came over during the weekend. Adham dah besar & sangat berat! Nasiblah dia ingat je kat Pak Ngah & Mak Ngah dia ni. Berat die 15kgs btw, sempat suruh dia naik atas bathroom scale tu nak tengok berat die berapa. Mak Ngah dah tak larat nak dukung dia dah.

My two favourite guys.. Manja betol dengan Pak Ngah!

Dengan Mak Ngah yg dah sama bulat dengan dia.

Masa ni Papa dia dah ajak balik. Muka sedih sebab baru bangun tidor. Sedaplah tidur atas perot Pak Ngah tu.
My latest pic, taken this evening, sebaik sahaja sampai rumah dari ofis petang tadi. Shera, cantik tak baju sayeeeee?? I'm in my 7th month & approximately (ecewah!) 62kgs. Rasanyelah sebab malas nak naik atas timbang berat. Masih comel kan? Tak nampak gemok sangat kan?

Ok, till then. Baby Humaira dah tendang-tendang perot Mama ajak balik rumah nak tidor ni (I'm at my MIL's)

To Mell - I miss u too darling.. *hugs*

To Shera - Good Luck for your interview tomorrow!

Update soon!

I know u guys have been missing the HOT MAMA since my last entry. :-) Hehe.

I will update soon, insyaAllah. Till then, stay tuned & take care people!!!
