TiBi ScReeNinG

Salam and hope everbody will be having a great weekend ahead...ialah hari Isnin ni kan cuti so mesti ramai yang cuti panjang:-))). 

Actually we just came back from TiBi screening at Gleneagles Hospital. UK government has introduced a new requirement starting from 31st December 2012 to those who wish to enter UK for more than 6 months to do TiBi screening before they can apply for the UK visa.  Malaysia is one of the 67 countries, who according to the World Health Organisation has a high incidence of TiBi. So scary huh!?

Tak kisah apa pun rules and requirements yang diaorg nak buat cumanyer untuk seramai ramai orang kat Malaysia yang nak apply UK visa ni, hanya ada 3 approved clinic sahaja yang boleh buat TiBi screening which is sangat sangat menyusahkan. Can u imagine the crowd during peak season between September to December. Tadi pun punyalah lama we all menunggu. We all sampai pukul 10am dan pukul 1pm baru settle...semata mata nak x ray je. Ingat kan that section is for TiBi screening je rupa rupanya bercampur dengan orang yang nak buat full medical check up samada for visa purpose ataupun personal purpose...aishhhh menyirap jugak rasanyer. Kadang kadang saya terfikir, kenapa tak boleh buat TiBi di mana mana klinik so tak de lah tertumpu dekat satu tempat je. Bayangkan kalau orang ada 2/3 orang anak dan ada baby, tak ke naya nak tunggu lama lama. Screening ni by appointment which saya dah book 3 weeks ago. Nasib baik hubby saya balik kalau tak, tak taulah macam mana saya nak handle semua. Dahlah tu caj pun mahal....bayangkan untuk budak bawah 11 tahun, mereka hanya diperiksa olen doktor tanpa perlu x- ray dan cosnya adalah RM127. Tak sampai 5 minit pun check.....klinik biasa pun boleh buat!

Daripada 3 approved klinik tu, 2 di KL dan 1 di Sabah.....macam mana dengan orang dari negeri negeri lain ek? Kan menyusahkan namanyer......lepas ni tak taulah apa lagi  changes yang UK government nak buat....dah semakin ketat nak masuk negara diaorg. Apa apa pun next Thursday dapat result dan awal Februari saya dah boleh re-apply visa saya dan Safiya walaupun fobia dulu tak hilang lagi. Semoga urusan  kami dipermudahkanNya....Amin. La yassir wala tuassir.

Salam Jumaat to all,

It's not too late to wish Salam Maulidur Rasul to all...selawat dan salam ke atas junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. Kat kawasan kejiranan saya ada buat perarakan sempena maulidur rasul tapi tak dapat nak join sebab Safiya deman plak...x de rezeki:-(

So, nak update cerita weekend kami. Last week we went to Lost World of Tambun. We went there with makcik & maksu...using makcik's new machine:-). We stayed there for a night.

We all bergerak pukul 730am dan when we arrived there the theme park was just open. Orang tak ramai sangat....so we all really enjoy our good time...mandi manda. This is our first time visit, overall oklah dengan harganyer...cuma the negative part is that once you enter you cannot go out. We stayed at the Lost World's hotel, which is just across the road (it's the theme park's hotel) yet we still not allowed to go out once we in. We told them that we have to check in by 3pm so Safiya can take a nap, but they said that once we get out we cannot re-enter and to re-enter we have to buy new ticket, which is ridiculous!!!!

The theme park ticket  also include the entrance to the Lost World Hotspring which is open until 10pm...we try to negotiate to re-enter but was refused. Can you imagine we arrived at the park at 10am and if we want to use the Hotspring at night then we have to stay up to 10pm. Penat maa! Actually when you buy a room in the hotel, you will be given 2 tickets to the Hotspring from 6pm to 10 pm....konon konon ingat tak nak guna ticket yang hotel kasi sbb ingat boleh pass kat sesiapa...rupa rupanyer ticket tu valid untuk hari tu je....hampa.

After dinner, we all pun pergilah balik ke theme park sebab ingat nak berendam dalam air panas di waktu malam....last last tak sampai 5 minit dah keluar....sebabnya...environment kat dalam sangat tak sesuai untuk family anak kecil....pasangan muda bercumbu cumbu....ishhhhh tak larat nak jawab soalan cepumas Safiya:-))))

Apa apa pun, Safiya sangat happy for the trip dan the best part in the theme park is the petting zoo...Safiya was really excited when it comes to zoo part....she can touch the animal and see them secara dekat! Enjoy the pictures......Gambar mandi manda tak dapatlah nak amik sebab camera simpan dalam locker...tata!

On the way back we decided to head north to visit Ibu's old place

DiaPerLeSS

Salam Jumaat,

Alhamdullillah Safiya has reached another milestone in her life, she is now "diaperless" at night. At the age of 4 years and 3 months she is fully diaper free. Bagi orang lain mungkin ini bukan sesuatu yang hebat sebab ada budak seawal usia 2 tahun dah fully diaper free....tapi apa yang istimewa dan membanggakan ibu adalah Safiya dilatih untuk diaper free bila dia betul betul dah bersedia dari segi mental dan emosi. Ibu tak perlu mengejutkan Safiya tengah malam untuk ke toilet (lena tidur ibu dan abah)...ibu cuma memastikan Safiya betul betul ready dengan memastikan Safiya ke toilet sebelum tidur dan berpesan dengan Safiya supaya jangan shishhi (kencing) atas tilam.

Ibu dah lama perasan yang diaper Safiya kering bila bangun tidur, so last Wednesday ibu dan abah decided that no more diaper at night for Safiya and alhamdullillah Safiya did it well. When she woke up in the morning, she said "ibu...i'm a good girl because i'm not bedwetting, my shishhi is afraid of you, so she sleeps with me". Hahahaha sebab ibu garang, Safiya rasa shishhi dia pun takut kat ibu. To train her well, Ibu juga ada belikan panties baru buat Safiya, since she is a fan of hello kitty, ibu belikan panties hello kitty dan ibu pesan pada Safiya sebelum tidur supaya jangan shishhi pada panties hello kitty sebab nanti dia marah dan tak nak kawan Safiya. It really works. Safiya dah di train untuk diaper free during daytime since she was 2 years dan hanya 2 kali je "teraccident". She was fully diaper free at daytime at the age of 3 years and 6 months...but the spare diaper is still in my handbag for emergency use:-))))

Membesarkan Safiya tak begitu susah. Seawal usianyer 5-6 bulan dia sudah boleh tidur malam dengan lena tanpa bangun menyusu. Dia tidur pada pukul 8 mlm dan hanya bangun sekitar pukul 5-6 pagi. Perkara ini berterusan sehingga sekarang, dia jarang bangun malam kecuali dia benar benar lapar atau sakit je. Sebelum tidur saya akan berpesan pada dia supaya jangan bangun malam sebab tak de orang nak buat susu and alhamdullillah it works.

Pada usia dia setahun, saya dah berjaya mengurangkan susunya kepada 2 botol sahaja sehari iaitu sebelum nap dan sebelum bedtime. Alhamdullillah ia berjaya sampai sekarang. Point saya buat macam itu sebab saya percaya yang nutrients datang dari makanan bukan dari susu semata mata...dan sebab itu hingga hari ini Safiya tak ada masalah makan dan dia memang seorang yang  pemakan. So sekarang saya tengah berusaha untuk Safiya supaya dia bottle free dan tidur dalam bilik sendiri. The later is quite difficult as being the only child, susah nak suruh dia tidur bilik sendiri, satu dia tak nak sebab tak de kawan dan kedua, ibu dan abah pun payah nak lepaskan atas seribu satu alasan:-)))

So to all parents out there, please be patient in doing anything for your children. Know their limit and don't push them when they are not ready, mentally and emotionally. It will be easy once they can understand better and ready for it...don't give up, let it happen naturally...insyaallah.

Babai diapers....

TeRukiR Di BiNtAnG

Jika engkau minta intan permata tak mungkin ku mampu
Tapi sayangkan ku capai bintang dari langit untukmu
Jika engkau minta satu dunia akan aku cuba
Ku hanya mampu jadi milikmu pastikan kau bahagia

Hati ini bukan milik ku lagi
Seribu tahun pun akan ku nanti
Kan… kamu…

Sayangku
Jangan kau persoalkan siapa di hatiku
Terukir di bintang tak mungkin hilang cintaku padamu

My PrEciOuS GifT

Salam,

Today is the first day school...Safiya is enrolled as a pre-school student. Time flies really fast. I'm still thinking that she still a baby, and sometimes I can still feel she's in my womb kicking my tummy....I remembered holding her on my arms for the first time, gave bath and breastfed her. I still remembered the first time she called me "ibu" and the first time she was introduced to solid food. I still remembered her first step, her first smile, her first jab and her first holiday...but it was all 4 years back. Now she is 4 years and 3 months and she is a grown up toddler but all the memories are still fresh.

She is really excited to go to school. She slept at 10pm yesterday and she woke up early this morning without any drama. She took bath and get dressed all by herself. When I sent her to school this morning, I saw many parents stayed to accompany their kid on the first day but not for Safiya. We left after we dropped her...and again there was no drama created by her.

She was raised up by myself from birth until she was 2 years and 5 months when I started working after came back from UK for good. I can remember the first week I sent her to nursery, she was crying like crazy until she lost her voice. That was the first time she went to nursery....my heart was broken every time I send her to nursery. I used to quit my job...but after 2 weeks she have adapted well with the environment.

Ibu and Abah are so proud with you sweetheart. You such a good girl and we really hope you will always be our "baby". We are really excited (especially your daddy) seeing you in your uniform and that make us realize that you have grown up! Before this, we never bother when the school term is starting...but now we have joint the club although it just a kindergarten level.....( hehehehehe over excited)!

To my lovely sweetheart, we do love you so muchhhhh and thanks to Allah for giving us this precious gift!

At birth
