A Great Loss

when was my last entry? erm..somewhere in august kan.
bkn sengaja nk neglect my blog..sementara my husband went to greece for his site visitation..blh la sy update blog..

actually tgh2 bulan puasa i was offered to further study (full time MBA) and about to bagi 'surat cinta' dekat bos. resignation letter mmg dah siap, tunggu nk bagi jer. but a day before sy nk bg surat tu, i was informed by another boss that there's a vacancy in Ipoh and to reply her in 2,3 days later. i was confused. to further study or to transfer..pro n cons semua dh list down. discussed with husband. mmg confuse sgt2. Allahuakbar..sy rasa Allah nk bg rezeki utk kami duduk sama2..

a week before raya
semua org (including me) busy for raya preparation kan. me and sister busy planning for her daughter's bday celeb raya nanti.konon nk bake various of cakes..but..
i was shocked when receive call from mama telling that abah admitted with serious internal bleeding.
suppose balik Kelantan on Friday, mama called on Tuesday..but me, sister n bro mmg takleh nak duduk diam dah. then we decide balik on Thursday..
abah admitted at HDW in Hosp. Sultanah Zainab which org ramai mmg tak blh simply masuk and bkn mcm wad biasa.
abah dah go thru byk procedure dah time tu: colonoscopy, endoscopy, angiogram, various types of scans. byk loss blood and taktau la dah brapa belas paket darah dah masuk. and tak blh makan since admitted, badan makin weak.. :(
tapi blh chit chat lagi dgn abah..lap badan, buang janggut dia and sempat lagi bergurau. abah cakap tak sabar nk balik beraya kt umah dgn family semua..but abah getting weaker and doc suspect ada bleed lagi dkt blood vessel.

raya
a day before raya, abah kena buat 2nd time angiogram dekat USM. but this time around, doc bg morphin sbb abah dh mmg weak sgt.
kami satu family beraya kt hospital. about 3, 4 days later abah baru sedar. but hari suppose balik kl dah :( tapi me n bro decide to stay another 1 day (sampai gaduh dgn my bos, sbb sy mtk extend cuti and it was my 1st day to report in Ipoh) tp nk buat mcmana, abah sakit and abah baru sedar time tu, tak sampai hati nk tinggal kan dia. kitorg 1 family mmg happy tgk dia blh makan and minum.

a week after raya
according to my sis, lps abah sedar mmg dia mtk macam2, air soya, ice lemon tea etc. but my sis pun kena balik Penang dulu then baru blh mtk cuti lagi..
semua anak2 dia dah balik, tinggal mama jer..time ni abah mmg getting weak and weaker. doc kata yg part bleeding tu dah stop but ada infection dkt lung plk sbb kuman dah merebak sbb dia dah weak and tak blh nk fight. :(
so, he was sedated to receive mechanical ventilation Wednesday and mama called us adik beradik on that day. seriously mmg tak blh nk buat keja..
can u imagine, sy report on Tuesday, Thursday sy balik Kelantan with husband.. alhamdulillah bos dkt branch mmg faham dgn keadaan sy.
all i can do is only recite surah Yassin and bacaan2 lain sampai hari Ahad which i have to go back to Ipoh. abah mmg tak sedar dah time tu. and kitorg plan nk gilir2 jaga abah like this week, my sister dulu yg jaga, next week sy plk. mmg berat hati nk tinggalkan abah with that condition..

2 weeks after raya.
hari Ahad sy balik ke Ipoh..
Isnin kerja mcm biasa..
hari Selasa, 8am masa tu otw nak pegi kerja. my aunt called and informed abah dah tenat. Masya Allah.. terus rasa mcm tak blh nk drive. lutut dah ketar. astaghfirullahal'azim..
try to contact my husband, tak jawab. hntr sms. dia call his BIL whom is a doc. Husband;s BIL called hosp and he adviced us utk balik cpt2..
sy mmg tarus tak masuk office, tunggu husband balik which took him 1hr plus to reach home.
1jam mmg masa yg amat panjang pd ketika itu. i keep on calling mama and sis. tp dgr suara mereka pun mmg dh blh agak keadaan abah mcmana. :`(
about 10am, husband sampai umah, tak perlu nk pack sgt sbb baju balik hari tu pun blm unpack semua lagi. 10.30am dah gerak dah, husband drive xtau mcm apa dah. sy mmg tak henti istighfar.
but half an hour later, kitorg dkt2 k.kangsar, mama called and bagitau, "Jaja, mtk Ikram drive elok2 k, nanti kita jumpa kt KB. sabar byk2 n doa byk2 utk abah, abah dah takde dah.."
i keep on crying and crying sampai sakit kepala mcm nak pecah. :(
we reached at hosp around 3pm, masa tu arwah dah siap dimandikan n dikafankan. sempat la sy tgk arwah..alhamdulillah muka arwah senyum jer..
arwah disembahyangkan lps waktu asar and dikebumikan dkt tanah perkuburan dkt umah jer.
so far, kami tak pernah miss visit pusara arwah everytime kitorg balik..

kehilangan arwah mmg bg impact yg besar utk kami 1 family sbb arwah tak pernah sakit seblm ni.arwah seorg yg health conscious; daily exercise, food intake, supplement intake.. arwah sakit utk 3minggu sahaja. mmg tragik buat kami sekeluarga.

Allahuakbar. Allah Maha Besar. Allah blh tarik apa sahaja dgn sekelip mata.
hargai lah parents kamu semua sementara mereka masih ada.

Ya Allah Ya Rahman Ya Rahim,
Ampunkanlah dosa arwah, jauhi arwah dari seksaan kubur dan seksaan api neraka,
lapangkanlah kubur arwah, sinarilah dan hiasilah kubur arwah seperti taman2 di syurga, tempatkan arwah di kalangan org2 yg beramal soleh..

Al- fatihah..

this weekend

just cant wait (harap2 jadi ler)

me birthday

4th June was my bday..(i know im too kind for giving u guys a public holiday. LOL)
my 1st birthday as a wifey.
im touched the way he surprised me..which is sangat comel (as for me)..
sorok present under the pillow. :)
thank you so much.
i really need that 'thing' sbb yang dulu punye kena curik. (jahat itu pencuri).
ailebiu hubs.. :)

so called pre-honeymoon..

today i feel like updating my blog as hari tu Cik Puan Moose ada request suruh buat review..so, here goes (pls be reminded, i will compress into 1 entry jer):
Trip ni organized by hub's company for annual co. trip (cer teka next year pi mana plk? aku pun taktau) and luckily wife pun blh ikut sekali.. hehe..alhamdulillah blh la pegi jalan2..

Day 1
April 2011- our flight to Saigon actually dah petang, we landed around 6pm their time (actually Vietnam is 1 hr behind Msia). as soon as we all naik bus, we were shocked with their traffic. penuh dgn motorcycles and its really hectic. seriously. ada motor yg dtg dari opposite side. pening2.
then terus pegi dinner at Saigon Penang. the food so-so jer maybe sebab dah sejuk..
lps dinner, check in at Lan Lan Hotel 2. blh consider CBD area la kot..

Day 2
off to Chu Chi Tunnel, which is 1hour plus from the hotel. scenery pun macam so- so jer, tido jer dalam bus.

rice paper

tools nak buat rice wine

what is your size?

the tunnel

mind you, the weather and temperature just like malaysia. sangat panas! then off we for shopping place which located at Nam Ky Khoi Nghia St, District 1 (sila pronounce btl2, aku pun tak reti). shoplot kat situ consists of kedai handbag, baju2, kain pasang, souvenirs etc.. and this shop (as per below pic) ada jual ready made kurung and i think the price is quite reasonable and cheaper than msia. kalau rasa nak beli better beli terus like caftan yg dlm gmbr tu because kt kedai lain aku tak jumpa pun. seriously regretted sbb i was thinking like 'ala..nanti pegi kedai lain mesti ada lagi murah' ok. pegi kedai lain tak ada pun caftan mcm tu.. yg banyak kain pasang and ready made kurung..sigh~

at night, we took cab to HRC to buy the t-shirt. (hubs is a HRC t-shirt collector)
Day 3
Mekong River trip. lebih kurang 2hrs from our hotel. we hopped into big boat to go to the small island..then tgk org buat coconut candy, tried their honey, fruits..etc..

coconut candy in the making

and the best part was naik boat kecik ni.. ya ampun. naik without safety jacket ok. and most of the pendayung are Women. we gave some tips sbb kesian sgt tengok makcik2 ni mendayung and we can see that kehidupan mereka sangat daif..rasa insaf sekejap..but it was a good experience tho.

lunch and dinner kat sini, the food consider ok la..

Day 4 (last day)
Shopping time. but we all tak shopping sangat pun. just bought souvenirs for families and closed friends jer..
1. Bin thay market- sesuai if nak beli borong sbb barang2 kt situ jual in bulk..mostly kain, shawl, helmet?
2. ben thanh market- near to our hotel (takder gambar..maaf), the market memang macam market/ pasar. same goes to bin thay market tadi..sangat panas. ben thanh market ni ada jual kain2 jugak, t-shirts, shawl, souvenirs etc..
3. russian market- ada aircond. tapi tak menarik pun. but if u plan to buy winter jacket/ coat, u can buy here (unfortunately i bought my jacket for Melb trip since Dec lagi) hehe..

Bin Thay market

Russian market

our last night in Saigon, we were entertained by the water puppet show and it was in their language. so kami sekadar tengok je lah. basically i think that the show was based on their culture and their history. other than that, den tak paham.
Tips 101
1. pls try to bargain as low as you can.
2. be careful with the penjual. they are so desperate to sell their goods. sampai tarik2 tangan kita. rasa macam nak lempang jer. hahaha
3. be careful with the foods. nasib baik pegi ngn tour..agak susah jgk if pegi sendiri as they eat almost everything (dog, cat, snake etc)

rasanya setakat tu je la kot yang aku ingt..hehe.. bye!

review: baju akad nikah & reception dress

finally..yes!! i got some free time..
anyway tanpa membuang masa, review as per below:

Baju akad nikah
Kain dah lama beli, 2009 tak silap. heheh..mama bought at Jakarta. masa tu taktau lagi 2011 trend bunga 2D. kelasss la mama..blh foresee trend 2011. haha..!
Design inspired when i saw it at one of wedding exhibition (click here). Hantar kt tailor biasa2 jer kt Kota Bharu, murah! upah less than RM300 jer. Before engage lagi dh siap..haa. kau! sebab baju tu part of our engagement hantaran.heh. (previous entry, click here)
So, beading- done by my aunty..alhamdulillah ada aunty pandai menjahit. yay! :)


Hubs baju melayu- hantar kt tailor biasa2 jgk..upah tak sampai RM150 pun. hehe..kain sampin, mesti la dari kedai sedara. heh!
Reception dress
I set my mind that im not gonna wear something like kebaya labuh/singkat for my reception. I want something modern, *ehem*chic*ehem* kelas gitu.. so masa tu tak tau nk dress mcmana..refer to previous entry.
and i realized that i love mermaid style. sbb ada ekor and nampak selim. haha. amongst of design i like kat sini. Albeit got some issues here n there, but still I LOVE my dress!! hehe :D
Designer tak lain tak bukan, our controversial designer, Wan Huzairil..(yg design baju sexy Mieyra Leyana tuh)

Before and after

Hubs baju melayu suit- also from Wan Huzairil, siap bagi keris betul2 tu..
After few weeks, i saw Nora Danish in my dress in modern style (see her partner) in W.Huzairil's FB. Yes, the dress designed for me but i had to pass him back after that (maksudnya size Nora Danish tu lbh krg mcm aku lah.haha).. kira sewa baru la..
