Cuti-cuti again???!!!

Wooo..Im a genius!Found this while surfing something else!hehe..Okeh, let me update you about Apeng's injury. Went to SJMC and did his X-ray and MRI scan ( this uses magnets and radiowaves to produce images of the inside body) and unfortunately it was bleeding in a knee joint caused by torn ligaments- apparently his ACL was totally damaged!!! :(
As you can see, ligaments connect one bone to another within our joints and help provide stability and flexibility.

So ,3 days 2 nights package at SJMC( sounds cuti-cuti Malaysia : ) huh !!) Ohh, foods nice tho :p. Im the one who eagerly to eat,hihihi.

He was given the ice packs to reduce sweilling and bruising. The doctor told him, he may needs to have surgery to repair the damage to his knee.

This is likely to be the case if he has damaged his ACL . He may needs a reconstruction operation which involves taking a graft of tendon ( from kneecap) to replace the damaged ligaments. We were..sob sob sob :(
anyone familiar with this??

At the moment, he will be at home,resting for....couple of weeks..?Or would it be months?~. Pray for him guys :)

Dont worry Mr.Apeng, I will take care of you as long as I am here :)

Period

Nothing strikes fear into the heart of any woman like a missed period ( unless you wanna get pregnant ). I feel grrr everyday but is pregnancy the only reason for me to have a late period?
I google and I have found this :


Stress
Stress can affect many things in our lives, including our periods. Sometimes we're so stressed out that our body produces hormones that halt our bleeding. Working with your doctor or midwife can help you figure out what you need to do to relax and get back on schedule.
Illness
A sudden, short illness or even a longer illness can cause your periods to be delayed. This is usually temporary.
Change in Schedules
Changing schedules can really throw off your body clock. This is particularly true if you go from days to nights at work or vice versa.
Change in Medications
Perhaps you're trying a new medication and a delayed or absent period is the cause. Be sure to talk to your doctor or midwife about this side effect. It is very common with some methods of birth control.
Being Overweight
Carrying around too much weight can hormonally shift your cycles and even stop them. Most women will see a return to normal cycles and fertility with the loss of some weight.
Being Underweight
If you do not have enough body fat you will not have regular periods, sometimes you can eve cause your periods to stop all together. This is called amenorrhea. Typically a weight gain will help you have your periods return. This is a frequent cause of a missed period in women who work out to an extreme or are professional athletes.
Miscalculation
[The menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman. While we say that the average menstrual cycle is 28 days long, that is not true for everyone. Sometimes our period is believed to be late when in all actuality we have simply miss calculated. If you have irregular menstrual cycles, but know when you ovulate, look for your period about two weeks after you ovulate. That may help you keep an easier track of your periods.
Peri-Menopause
Peri-menopause is the period of time where you are transitioning from reproductive age to a non-reproductive age. Your periods may be lighter, heavier, more frequent or less frequent - but mostly just not normal. If you do not wish to get pregnant, be sure to continue to use birth control because you are likely to still be fertile at least some of the time.
Menopause
Menopause is when you have reached the point in your life where you will no longer ovulate or menstruate. Menopause can be a natural life event or may happen surgically through hysterectomy or through chemical such as chemotherapies.
Pregnancy
Finally! Yes, your missed period might be because you're pregnant! A simple pregnancy test can usually help you determine if you have missed your period because you are pregnant. The urine pregnancy tests and blood pregnancy tests look for the hormone hCG.

I guess I know why :=) Oooh no no, Im not pregnant yet.:p

A trip to Stockholm-Manhattan

Last 3 weeks, I spent a few days with Apeng sightseeing in Stockholm, Sweden. I have to admit I wasn't expecting much because I don't hear a lot of stories about travelling in Northern Europe from...urmm anybody!!.But Stockholm turned out to be seriously gorgeous and so comfortable.







The weather was absolutely perfect -it was cool, breezy and sunny. The weather definitely made the whole experience more comfortable and relaxing.



Ohh ya, many places you can visit : museums-Nordic,Vasa,Nobel n bla bla bla..list goes on:) .Ehh, I taknak cerita pasal museum..wahh cemerlang sungguh kalau I gi tauu :p, tp I tau my darling Hanim sure suka kan museum ni :).
Sorry Nim, nxt time I gi, I will update u kay:p

Jadi, I went to Grona Lund. If you are looking for an amusement park, Grona Lund is THE place to be! You can find here all traditional rides, where you'll be shaken around in all ways imaginable, from up side down, left to right and of course flying high up into the air and fall even quicker down again.( oohh I can imagine my darlings Harith and Athirah will love this place!!!) With two rollercoaster and a staggering high free-fall attraction, Grona Lund should satisfy the thrill-seeker in you.

Org tu tinggi sgt,muka tak nampak pun.

Luckily, the entrance fee was free for us that day ( our hotel had this..bla bla promotion) Tp kalau nak naik ride kena la bayar, masuk saja okayy :)

Well speaking of entrance fee: It is around Rm35( entrance) + Rm150( rides)

If you don't want to spend a fortune, pack ur lunch or a snack in your bag because like any amusment park, it certaintly isn't cheap to eat there!For muslims, this is a good idea tho!Urmm my dear friend Hanis, asked me about shopping in Sweden.My answer- Do not shop here!!!I can say: very expensive.

Next few days, we went to Manhattan!! Yea~ Ohh tp sungguh sedih all the shops tutup awal due to USA Independence Day Fireworks Celebration. But we had a nice day :)



before naik bus to train station.

We wanted to go a few places tp tak cukup masa.

Managed to snap Empire State Building :). Exact location is on Fifth Ave. It would be almost impossible to find one person on earth who has not heard of it. For most tourists, this is one of the two things they know about New York City -- Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty.

Unfortunately, we dont have enough time for another one :(

We are the Gossip Gals :) Thanks to her for being my gedik buddy.

Kami balik before malam sbb taknak crowded dlm train( ada fireworks celebration ). So,shopping time sgt limited and Miss F tak menjadi shopaholic sbb kedai tutup cepat :(

Ohh you name it, everything ada * rolling eyes*- Hanim & Hanis, I wish you were here too!!

Overall, Manhattan is a great place to "spend" a few hours doing some retail therapy :)

My last words,I heart Manhattan and definitely coming again..

Ohh my..

Our car skidded off the highway and hit the divider,2 weeks ago. We were from Bangi, going back to Shah Alam.
Alhamdulillah , we were not hurt.
It was a scary moment.

not again~

my husband is injured!

ohh not again!!! Please pray that he has a miraculous healing. The timing of this injury could not be more horrible..huh..GREAT!!!!!

Wudda...****

My YM chat with so- called-friend

Friend : Hi dear, wht's u been up to?

Me : urmm..nothing much bla bla bla....chores :)

Friend : Ohh..good! ! stay-at-home-mom (parent) does some of those duties, but the most important duty is tending to the children..So, bz with your baby?

Me : ooh..I dont have baby yet.

Friend : I know!...hahahahahhaha

I was like wudda ****???


Sometimes ppl can be so mean to us!! Great!!!! sigh

Phuket part 4&5

Day 4
19th June 2008

My 4th day started with breakfast on bed :) . I still got diarrhea. Feeling uneasy due to the food poisoning. Some says it is deadly illness. Hubby lucky because he doesnt eat oyster at all. Fuh nasib baik, if not..2-2 terbaring habisss larr

So, we didn't go anywhere far. No mood for shopping ( craft, brg2 Thailand nampak lawa tp sgt takda mood.. ooh selamat duit laki ku) ,no appetite..Hubby suggested to watch movie- Incredible hulk. Costed us THB 300..mak aii mahal jugak tau.He insisted.
Ohh ya..had lunch kt satu gerai muslim ni...mkn ayam goreng+nasi and tom yum.Sedap, ayam bnyk sgt, inexpensive. And paling suka tea ice dierr..See kt bwh ni, we tapau dlm mineral water siap :)






Inila Jungceylon..I wrote about this mall in my previous post :)

Next stop- to Phuket Town. It took 1 hour to reach town by motor. Saja jalan2 cari pasal since I cant do any activity lain sbb asyik diarrhea saja :(








We stopped at Karon.Karon is a great place to visit for the day if you are either stuck in Phuket Town or you want to get away from the chaos of Patong.Had dinner at Chalong Bay again...:)




Day 5
2oth June 2008

Taken with the guesthouse owner :). !! After few times dah try urut here & there,- ohh ya went to Christin Massage jugak&reflexology tepi2 jalan jugerr, finally my beloved husband suggested trying a SPA- Let's Relax Spa. One word to describe- Amazing ! 1st time pergi spa yg secantik iteww :) .

They are located at one of the roads back in Patong, near to our guesthouse.They offer the traditional Thai Massage as well as special feet and hand treatments and Massages with Herbs and Oils.They were wonderful.

After 2 hrs 45 mins being pampered, finally dah kena balik.

Overall-nice place to visit. A great place to have fun.. .The beach ada bnyk, Patong is the famous one. Speaking of beach, I dont even go to the beach for mandi manda so dont ask me :) I dont even swim, snorkeling or what so ever!Funny things huh.OMG, gambar pun takda kt sandy beach tu..our swimsuits pun tak pakai..:) Yeah yeahh, went to Phuket tp tak ke beach yerr :p

Eating should be no problemo because lots of seafood, obviously Thai food available . There are also rows of halal Thai Muslim shops in front of Patong Beach and at Phrabaramee Road. More like a Food market. If you still unsure, stick to the seafood :)

What we did the most on our vacation...: food hunting :)

The most important part is spending time with the loved ones :)

"Happy anniversary baby...Thanks for the wonderful trip.Love you so badly"

PHUKET part 3

Day 3
18th June 2008



Okay..I woke up a bit late.. feel lack of energy, headache, diarrhea, abnominal pain, nausea and upset stomach. I dont feel of going, I just wanna rest& sleep.


It began ..urmm let me rewind back..ohh ya I had oyster ,seafood..last night at Kusuma!!..? Ohh, rasa mcm tak larat sungguh, asyik ke toilet saja..then I pun pk la. First,I dont want to disappoint my husband ( he spent nearly THB 1000= RM110 pp for this package- Elephant riding+ATV+ White water rafting+buffet lunch+ jungle trekking-waterfall... ),second, when I will be here again..??Third, in most cases the body is able to find balance after a short period of discomfort and illness, kan?




Tanpa pk panjang, terus bangun and siap2. We were picked up by minibus.Journey took about 30 minutes and tukar naik bus pulak.From there, another 45 minutes to our nxt stop - Elephant + ATV. Reached there around 10am, straight away to the toilet,I vomitted!!! Fuhh lega rasa...but still rasa mcm nk baring saja.The visit of the camp starts with ATV followed by leisurely elephant riding.






I wasn't able to walk actually.sgt rasa nk tdo..but tabahkan hati jugak..tgk hubby sungguh seronok that day, seeing him, rasa ok sikit.. Oh ya, I had to put sweater, rasa sejuk sgt tgh2 hari yg panas iteww..

After ATV,went for elephant riding along the river, tak lama, around 20 minutes saja.

A short elephant show! Sedikit fakta:
The elephant's gestation period is 22 months!!

Elephants worked for the humans, made ways through the jungle, lifted and moved heavy things and were used in wars.

Today they are still used in the tourism industry. There are several problems in that. For once, this animal needs a lot of shade and water - so, please do not go elephant riding in open areas, its very bad for them :)

See..how strong they are!!

Next, hubby had lunch.I just ate banana.Lost appetite.Cold.

Right after that, went to white water rafting :) Ohh..sorry no photos. .

The last activity for that day- jungle trekking to the waterfall.We had fun( thanks to hubby for taking care of me). I was ill all the time but managed to smile ( heyy..I dont want to disappoint him again and again okayy)

Reached our hotel nearly 7pm.My day was s***** Dizzy,nausea,headache!!

We had dinner nearby our hotel.dah tak larat sgt nak jalan.Then went back.Tdo sampai pagi.At this moment rasa nk balik saja....I have nothing much to say cos all I knew- I had food poisoning.
