Syukur..Alhamdulillah

++++I was diagnosed with ENDOMETRIOSIS...I was admitted to Pantai Medical Center, Bangsar to do the surgery+++

Actually i pernah buat checkup dengan Dr lain before this, due to my period pain yang ada sejak bujang lagi.Tapi tak dapat kesan apa2 pun...yet until I dengan my husband went to another specialist to perform a more detail scan and go for a second opinion - Dato' Dr Hamid Arshat, the famous gynae "Ok, it looks like you have a cyst in your right ovary. The size is about 4.6cm ". What??I mula2 tu terima dengan tenang sebab Dr Hamid relax je bgtau pasal cyst tu.Tapi...deep inside me..didn't know how to gather my strength after hearing that.Bila keluar je from bilik scanning tu, I terus je tengok muka husband...and I know...dia dah boleh agak the result.Tapi Dato' buat we all berdua rasa selesa and calm....

Basically, he recommended a surgery. But, not like the other doctors I met before, he explained the details about what he found and step by step procedure that I might go through next. I was so frustrated, for sure. I felt that this procedure only gave me false and bad healthier feeling. But the way the Dato' talked to us with such an empathy approach made me feel comfortable and he reassured me that things might not be as bad as they look like.so... I quickly took a decision to remove my endometriosis.

Alhamdulillah...my surgery went well...indeed it went well than we expected it will be...Alhamdullillah yang tak terhingga..The surgery took about 45 mins to complete instead of 2-3 hours as per planned...
cuma tunggu dalam waiting room tu lama sangat sebab Dato' ada 4 kes hari tu.Nervous tak boleh la cerita, tapi...dalam hati ingat pada Allah...redha atas segalanya.

Tapi what i did remember while i was in the recovery room, (recovery period just after the surgery) ..macam kelakar walaupun sakit...Bila dah boleh bukak mata sikit tu...ya Allah, rasa sakitnya.Bukak mata je terus nampak Dr Nazri, Pakar Anaesthesia I terus cakap...dr...nak morphin...dah tak tahan sakit ni. Dr terus senyum..and tenangkan I, "u should cakap Alhamdulillah...dah selamat, ni tak terus mintak morphine... :)".Bila keluar daripada recovery room tu...terus nampak my lovely husband and my cayang maksu...terus hilang kejap rasa sakit. Rasa sayu pun ada bila diorang keep usap kepala i and touch my hand. Sampai bilik terus nampak muka mak and abah..lagi la rasa sayu..dan syukur masih berpeluang jumpa orang-orang yang paling kita sayang.

I am taking this opportunity to thanks my lovely families & in-laws and all for the prayers, doa(s), warm wishes, sms(es), phone calls, get-well-soon cards, lovely flowers, visitations, air halia istimewa alang, tq to family from perak yang bagi kasih sayang yang tak terhingga, etc...only Allah can repay it all...insyaallah... Nak sebut semua nama...ramai sangat.

...i want to thank my beloved husband,for being there, besides me all the time...thru hard times and pain...showering me with his unconditional love...sesungguhnya, amat bersyukur dikurniakan seorang suami yang penyayang...alhamdullillah...no words can describe how much I love him...sooo muchhhh!!!...kadang2 terfikir will i or can i treat him the same as what he had done for me, if the situation vice versa...only GOD knows...InsyaAllah... I will...may be more!

...My sincere thanks also goes to Dr Nazri and Dato' Hamid for your really good hands, precious advice, and help so far.

Many thanks also goes to my best friends, office mate,who came to pay me a visit. You all have cheered me up in your own special way,gossipping, painting a big smile on my face and tickling my heart to laugh even in this condition.

Let's hope that I will not have any complication after this...Amin.

...rite now, i have to berpantang like orang after deliver baby c-section...agak stress la jugak....sabar sabar.My recovery period is 4-6 weeks…so insyaallah will be back to office soon.

on the admission day ...international lounge...warded to Room No. C622- International level.

Pantai’s International Ward actually dedicated to foreign patients and expatriates. This ward is well equipped with an international lounge providing club floor facilities to their foreign patients, tapi jalau tak penuh, local pun boleh mintak. Bayar extra sikit. So... I kata kat my husband, takpe la kita amik yang ni...senang mak abah nanti nak relax2 sambil melawat...Tia Mia datang pun boleh main2 kat sini. takde la boring sangat.

-Kak Ikin-

Must try!!Easy to make and fast to go... Ice cream Cake.

If u all tak suka regular cakes, muak, too sweet..

If u all tak suka buat kek, leceh, malas, kek bantat...

...tapi still u need a cake...to celebrate, to serve ur friends, ur family, ada special occasions or just untuk everyday pleasures..

U must try this easy Ice Cream Cake. I cilok idea from Nigella, customize sana sini...sesuaikan dengan bahan2 yang senang dapat kat supermarket kat malaysia ni. I always create a sort of mini project i gave myself to cook a good number of dishes from Nigella.Tak sabar2 nak share dengan semua ...sebab cake ni senang dan sedap...mesti cuba, dan I believe ramai yang dah cuba.

U just need:
Any brand of vanilla ice cream ...tak payah mahal2, honey roast peanuts ... I beli yang dalam peket kecik2 tu,Cadburry Crunchie bar..broken into shards and dusty rubble & Oreo biscuits yang cream dia chocolate, bukan vanilla,broken up into crumbs .

** Nak senang...Crunchie bar dengan oreo ni just masukkan dalam plastik...and ketuk dengan lesung batu

mix je semua bahan2 ni....dalam bowl besar...Masukkan ice cream mixture dalam springform tin ...pastu flattening the top like a cake, and cover the top with clingwrap and place in the freezer to firm up...itu je.
Serve the cake straight from the freezer...tapi punya la masing2 tak sabar...belum keras penuh lagi dah potong.Potong and serve with the butterscotch atau chocolate sauces.Kalau original recipe, u need to serve with butterscotch sauce...tapi...I malas nak buat..so...dalam fridge ada hershey chocolate sauce...guna je la...sedap jugak. Last sekali..sprinkle the top of the cake with the extra crumbs kalau ada lebih. Tada...dah siap...senang kan??

This is a homemade Ice Cream Cake by yours truly.

Tapi kalau u all malas jugak...order je kek kat http://e-chocoholic.blogspot.com :)

Fresh from the oven...

Just Arrived!!
Seronoknya...baru je sampai sejam yang lalu kat office...from Kinokuniya.
Teruja sangat nak baca , terutamanya bila Ida & Kak Ita kata , shopaholic novels ni best...

Reading is not my typical lunchtime activity..tapi hari ni...nak baca buku sambil kunyah Roti Gardenia Butterscotch..

Cerita Kita..

Seronok la kita pergi jalan-jalan kat kat Kuala Terengganu hari tu kan? Walaupun pack sangat, sebab kita pergi sekejap je, tapi best la,macam-macam kita buat. 3 hari memang tak sempat nak buat apa, terutamanya bila drive ke sana. Penat drive tu je dah dua hari .Tapi penat-penat tu, bila duduk tepi pantai, borak-borak kosong, makan jagung bakar tepi pantai waktu malam...memang best. Teringat pulak dulu kita honeymoon kat Pulau Redang. Kelakar sangat, masa tu bukan ada duit sangat...duit habis masa kenduri kawin. Nasib baik ada matta fair...merasa jugak honeymoon kat redang. Sejak hari tu kita jatuh cinta dengan makanan dan pantai kat terengganu. Banyak kali kita kata nak pergi lagi. Alhamdulillah kali ni kita sampai lagi. Dapat la release tension ...walaupun sekejap tapi bermakna sangat.Jom..jom...kita ingat balik apa kita buat kat terengganu hari tu..

Masa pergi tu memang excited, terutama bila dah start nampak pantai kat area Kemaman dengan Kertih.Seronok tunjuk pantai sana sini. Snap gambar kiri kanan. Nampak petronas pun macam jakun je.Tapi tak singgah pun sebab nak kejar masa sampai hotel. Tambah pulak penat , lapar dan panas. Kita berenti makan kat Kemaman sebab nak makan satar dengan otak-otak panas kat kedai Che Wan. Everytime pergi Terengganu and Cherating, kita tak pernah miss pergi kedai makcik ni sebab satar dengan otak-otak dia memang sedap. Sampai-sampai , makanan tak start masak lagi, tapi satar je la tengah bakar. So, apa lagi, macam tak pernah jumpa satar, tak sabar2 nak makan. Kita makan kat kedai makcik tepi jalan yang kecik dan usang je. Kecik je kedai makcik tu, ais batu pun tak jual, jual air panas je,tapi sedap. Selalunya kalau makcik tua yang masak, gerenti sedap.Yang datang makan kat situ pun, pakcik2 nelayan yang dah tua yang memang duduk kat dekat-dekat situ. Tapi kita berdua tak pandang kiri kanan dah masa tu. Lapar sangat.

Ramai yang tanya kita kenapa tak duduk kat pulau je. Kenapa duduk kat Primula, dalam pekan ? Sebenarnya kita kan datang sebab nak pergi kenduri kawin Chepo kat kota bharu. So, kita menyelam sambil minum air la ni. Bukan takat minum air je dah..makan selagi boleh makan dah ni.Ok la jugak kan, primula ni. Kita pergi pun , time keja.So tak ramai orang, aman , nyaman dan tenang. Kita dapat bilik mengadap laut. Cantik.Tapi, pantai dia tak boleh mandi. Bahaya, ombak kuat, pastu pantai dia macam kedalam...tak landai.Kita banyak habiskan masa berdua duduk tepi pantai ...borak-borak..tengok-tengok orang, kutuk-kutuk orang, hihi. Seronok la kalau hari-hari macam ni.Kan best kaalu ada rumah tepi pantai. Macam cerita jepun sedih yang mamat pandai gunting rambut tu...'Beautiful Life'

Bila dah boring mengadap laut, kita jadi budak-budak kat situ. Orang tak peduli pun kan?Main playground la, main catur gergasi la..macam-macam.Puas hati la dengan primula hotel ni. Memang la tak secantik hotel or resort kat pulau atau tempat-tempat lain dekat Setiu macam Aryani tu, tapi service dia memang tip top. Pekerja-pekerja dia cantik-cantik, lembut-lembut, baik hati dan sopan santun.Kita boleh lupakan la kekurangan sana sini dengan layanan diorang . Kalau nak buat family gathering kat sini pun sesuai, kemudahan dia lengkap semua. Nanti kita plan tau family gathering kat sini.Kita berdua suka primula, tak tau la orang lain..

Tapi kita kena ucap terima kasih la kat pengantin baru 'Chepo &Yana' yang sudi menjemput kita datang kenduri diorang. Sweet betul couple ni.Sedap betul makanan dia, ada pulak kuih akok yang original. Kepada Chepo dan Yana, Selamat Pengantin Baru, semoga perkahwinan kekal sehingga akhir hayat. Thanks sebab menjadikan kitorang berdua sebahagian daripada hari indah dan cerita cinta korang.

Lepas kenduri , dengan pakai baju kurung, heret la kain labuh tu pergi shopping tudung kat Pasar Siti Khadijah. Memang murah.Beli tudung segala ada warna, beli telekung sulam yang cantik, beli baju, seluar, selipar.....semua murah.Balik daripada Kota Bharu tu, kita singgah je mana2 pantai yang cantik, snap gambar sana sini. Kagum la kan dengan masjid-masjid kat terengganu. Semuanya cantik. Pantai pun biru je, bersih...

Last day tu, sebelum balik kl, kita sempat pergi masjid kristal. Ye la orang duk cakap sana sini pasal masjid kristal, nak jugak la pergi tengok. Alang-alang lalu Kampung Losong , untuk ke masjid, kita beli keropok losong. Beli sikit je, sebab plan nak beli keropok kat kemaman. Tapi ...... bila rasa, SEDAP,macam tak cukup..SANGAT SEDAP. 10 batang tu...sekejap je masuk dalam perut. Paling sedap keropok yang kita berdua pernah rasa.

Kat pasar payang kita sambung aktiviti shopping...beli tudung, beli batik,macam-macam kita beli kat situ. Duit mengalir macam air terjun.

Agaknya kalau perut kita ni boleh bercakap, mesti dia kata 'stop...stop...dah penuh' sebab kita kat sana makannnn je. Dah jadi stokin dah perut kan? Sumbat...sumbat selagi boleh.

Kita makan ayam kampung, ikan bakar, sotong bakar...

Nasik dagang kat pasar payang tu memang sedap..

Cili solok lada ni pun kita borong...sedap buat solok lada...tak pedas

Kita makan sotong goreng tepung kat kemasik. Sedap , sotong dia fresh, manis. Kena betul dengan air jagung. Air jagung dia terasa jagung dia , bukan macam kat KL, colouring je banyak.Makan pulak kat tepi pantai, angin bertiup sepoi2 bahasa...cewah.

Banyak sangat kita makan satar ngan otak-otak kat sana...sampai bawak balik lagi ..tak cukup-cukup.

Best la , kita berdua rasa macam nak pergi lagi kan...kan?

I read...Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

Selalunya I suka baca buku Sydney Sheldon, Stephen King...Tak pernah pun baca buku 'chick lit style' ni. Saja-saja beli buku ni masa pergi MPH with my mum...masa CNY...and kebetulan buku ni ada SALE 20%. Lagipun ramai la kawan2 suruh I baca buku ni...sebab I suka shopping. Hmmm...konpius ni...kenapa la depa suruh baca buku ni sangat...

The book follows Rebecca Bloomwood who is deep in debt solely because of her shopping excesses. The irony of all, she is a financial journalist writing for Successful Savings magazine.

The result = It got me hooked on Sophie Kinsella.Whushhh..This not a really deep book. Tapi baca buku ni macam tengok my all time favourite 'The Nanny' kat TV.Ramai orang tak suka cerita ni because of the voice and accent, tapi I suka. " la la la...She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens until her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes..." .

I think that most females will find themselves in Rebecca atau Becky, watak utama buku ni. I bet most of us have thought once or twice on the same lines as Becky does bila dia try to excuse untuk beli barang mahal tapi tak practical langsung. :).Her justification for buying things are hilarious and the scene where she was trying to make her own curry made me laugh so hard! Scene ni just cracks me up because I've done the same thing she did bila cuba resepi yang susah and ntah hapa2.

This would probably be a good read for true shopaholics. My husband always told me that I had a serious shopping problem, and when I read Confessions of a Shopaholic I was horrified because I realized how incredibly close my life related to hers. The situations she got into made me LOL and worried in the same time because I had done a number of them , contohnya buying things because in the long run it would save me money : buy 2 free1, hiding my shopping bags from family especially from my mum and now from my husband , tak boleh nampak kedai yang ada sale :mark and spencer, nine west,guess, free gift.

For me, the book was completely believable and made me laugh because I'd been in her shoes at least 50 percent...but in other ways , tak seteruk Becky . Mintak dijauhkan.

If you like to shop....this book is for you! Maksu, Suhai, Haniza...apa lagi...hihi.
