My days in the hospital...

So...I was admitted on the 16th...

Went there awal pagi with encik husband...registered & terus pegi ward ginekologi tingkat 5. Kat sana i saw some other ladies yang menunggu giliran nak kena admit as well. Kena suruh tukar baju then some check ups.

Aiyooo...susah jugak sebab:

1st - husband tak boleh temankan.
2nd - tak boleh charge any electronic devices.
3rd - there's no such thing as first class ward...but aku kena charge 1st class.


Takpe...nak berubat, terima je lah... Then aku diberi bilik sama dengan semua kakak-kakak yang menunggu giliran tadi... semua kena surgery on the same date. Anyway, i like my katil...hehehe~ automatic ones. Rasa malu gak sebab katil aku je yang boleh turun naik dengan remote while others kena ubah manually.

The look of the room from my bed. Room was air-conditioned.
There were only 3 other patients beside from me (but added more later at night)


My lunch...
fried cabbage & carrot, curry gravy, and a piece of fried tofu. ;_; 

Dalam that whole day, ramai doktor yang visit and terangkan prosedur surgery, cara, termasuk komplikasi after surgery and of course borang-borang kebenaran untuk aku sign. Kena scan sekali lagi and confirmed aku ada 2 cysts; one each at right and left ovaries. And...tak boleh nak buat Laparoscopic surgery...kena jugak buat Laparotomy (sama macam C-section orang beranak) sebab dermoid cyst banyak potensi untuk pecah and meracuni bahagian-bahagian lain kalau terkena. Pastu kena cucuk jarum drip...Aku nervous gila sampai doktor bagi aku ubat tidur. Sebelum tidur, aku baca doa mintak everything will be fine. Then, bangun pagi at 5.30 am. Mandi and baru je keluar dari bilik mandi, terus nampak nurse dengan katil bergerak dah tunggu aku. Seram~~ My turn was the first one.

Masa tengah tunggu turn, doctor bagi aku pil lagi...i guess pil tido. Aku baca lagi doa...Al-Fatihah 7 kali & selawat... Then aku call my husband and dad...cakap aku dah on the way to my surgery...Pastu, aku tertidur kot? ._. Tak ingat...pastu masuk dewan bedah...Ramai doctor kat sana...then sorang meletakkan oxygen kat mulut...sempat lagi aku cakap "Kejap! Hidung saya gatal..." and garu... pastu...tak ingat terus...tertido...

Aku bukak mata bila ada orang panggil nama aku ulang-ulang kali...everything nampak white and slight green and nampak doctor lalu lalang...
Tiba-tiba aku dapat rasa kaki aku bergegar...then seluruh badan pun shivered jugak. Aku pun tanya kat diorang kenapa aku bergegar? Gigi sampai terketar-ketar. Diorang pun selimutkan aku and letak benda macam hairdryer yg panas kat dalam selimut. Kepala aku pun diorang letak selimut. Aku masih lagi terketar-ketar...aku cakap aku tak sejuk, tapi masih je shivering. Sampai nurse kat situ pun naik hairan sebab aku dengar diorang cakap, "aie...kenak patient bergegar??". Then aku tido or pengsan lagi.

Pastu...aku rasa aku kena sorong...and dengar suara yang aku suka dengar panggil "Honnie!". Aku bukak mata and nampak bayang encik suami. Aku masih mengantuk...tapi aku rasa dah tiba masa aku balik ward lagi...kena sorong atas katil tu.

Then aku ditempatkan kat bilik yang betul-betul depan stesen nurse bertugas untuk pemerhatian... takde aircon dah. :P Tandas pun kotor sikit sebab kongsi dengan ramai orang. Anyway, masa aku dah sedar, aku baru tau yang actually my operation sangaaattt lama! start pukul 6.30-7 pagi...habis pukul 1:30 petang.

My surgery result... Cyst sebelah kiri dalam 5x6cm, and sebelah kanan is actually 8x8cm. Berbuah-buah doctor cakap, one of the 'buah' is the scanned 6x6cm before. And salah satu 'buah' tu terpecah...so diorang ambik masa yang lama untuk bersihkan cyst yang spilled kat dalam abdomen aku...

Bila dah masuk ward balik, sakit sungguh nak batuk dan bersin. Nak gelak pun berpada-pada... Baring pun tak boleh...kena tido menyandar... minum air pun sakit...kena sikit-sikit guna straw. Kalau tak, boleh tersedak.
Ramai jugak nurse yang senyum and bagi dorongan sebab aku tak tersepuk atas katil je and nak jugak jalan-jalan pegi tandas sendiri...taknak bergantung with tube urine. Yang susahnya kena sorong drip and blood drainage sekali...

Cakap pasal blood drainage...sakitnya bila nak cabut menatang tu...sebab my daging dah start bercantum dengan tube as well as the stitch's benang...memang meraung jugak la aku bila nurse cuba cabut tube panjang dalam lower abdomen aku tu...xsangka benda tu panjang... ;_;

So far...i was in the hospital for 4 days. Boring jugak masa malam di hospital...Asyik-asyik terbangun pukul 1 pagi...ingatkan dah siang, tapi rupanya malam masih buta. Haha... Thank you sangat-sangat kat adik ipar aku yang temankan aku pada malam hari...Kat my mom jugak yang jaga masa siang. And husband yang jenguk-jenguk sebab risau kena halau nurse. Haha~ And thank you jugak kat family and kawan yang datang menjenguk. ^_^

Dermoid Cysts.

Assalammualaikum...

Last year in August, i went for an ultrasound scan in one of the well-known private hospital in Kuching. Well, most of my close friends would knew that i have a very bad menstrual pain since school. At first, the specialist was kinda...made a laughing face as if i was mengada-ngadakan cerita sakit sampai mintak scan. Siap boleh tanya lagi macam-macam such as how did i know when i supposed to have my ovulation time, my period due and got something inside my lower abdomen. Like come on lah doctor~! We studied science in form 3 la...normal period cycle is usually 28 days...ovulation usually came out on 14th day...and stuff. And now there are lots of Apps in Android market to check and remind you about your important dates. Shesshh... 

Ok, then the doctor did an ultrasound scan on me...she was shocked to see that there IS a cyst on my right ovary with measurement of 6.4cm x 6cm. Then, she didn't bother to check my left side because she said, "Yang ni jelas, sebelah sana tak jelas. Jadi we have to do surgery buang yang ni."
By this time, she did some explainations, but when hati aku dah kecik disebabkan dia macam memperlekehkan aku mula-mula tadi, aku buat-buat angguk je.

Then, keesokkan hari nya aku pegi normal klinik yang ada lady doctor lagi. Nak tanya second opinion. Did another scan, but i told her about the right ovary as what i knew. Oh my~ nasib baik ada doc ni...she explained nicely and even showed me why i'm having period pain that caused by the cyst. Dier cakap, just monitor the cyst by doing scans every 3 months. If takde perubahan in size, you tak perlu surgery, but if it grows...better remove it in case of cancer.

For a few months, risau jugak aku...
But since aku habiskan masa kat Sibu, tak terjenguk jugak my appointments with private hospital tadi.

Ada jugak aku pergi rawatan urutan traditional kat Sibu...but aku jadi takut since dia suka nak urut-urut perut. Nenek aku larang urut-mengurut perut ni kot-kot rahim lari unless you're bidan yang dah fasih. Lagipun, aku tak puas hati cara dia mengurut. Makin tension kepala aku sebab dia main tonyoh-tonyoh and mulut jampi ntah apa ntah...and dia claim kalau aku selalu berubat with her, aku boleh pregnant. Aku jawab, "InsyaAllah" and dia cakap lagi, "Betul non...kakak urut boleh buat orang mengandung." Hmm...terer bebenor jugak ye akak ni?

Then, bulan October ke November? Tak ingat...aku ajak encik suami jumpa doctor specialist Henry Toh. He is a great doctor! Dier ni bukan specialist in Gynaecology, but very wise man indeed. Dier pakar jantung & physicist. He did a scan on me, and guess what...he managed to find a few other cysts in both ovaries! Then he suspected yang aku ada dermoid cyst (sila google sendiri) sebab dalam gambar scan tu, memang nampak 'solid mass' inside. Hebat la Dr. Henry!!! Aku salute! Terus dier referkan aku to kawan dier, the gynaecologist Dr. Elizabeth Ting kat area Hospital Rajang.


Scans from Dr. Henry Toh.
Above: Cysts on Right Ovary.
Below: Cyst on Left Ovary.


Hari yang sama jugak, both of us pegi klinik Dr. Ting...dier pun cakap memang perlukan surgery...and all i know that she is one of the best gynaecologist in Sarawak yang terror dalam Laparoscopic surgery. However, since she have to teropong the inside first, then baru boleh determine to take out the cyst terus or kena normal surgery because of size and etc. She planned to do the surgery dalam next few days, but aku and husband yang masih shocked mintak tangguh dulu. Then we asked to mintak GH je buatkan because of budget wise...Sorry sangat-sangat. If kitorang mampu memang nak ambik Dr. Ting. :)

Then, on December, kitorang balik Kuching to meet up with Dr. Azah...wah...dah berapa byk opinion daa...
But overall, semua suruh operate because of size. Suspected that i have Endometriosis as well...so Dr. Azah buat refer letter to SGH and dier terus buatkan appointment at Gynae clinic on 6th January. She suggested for Dr. Haris but susah jugak la nak dapat doc tu sebab he's one of the best in Laparoscopy as well.

Anyway, mostly semua doctor tak boleh nak kesan the other cyst kat sebelah kiri ovary aku. Yang nampak just sebelah kanan je. So, on 6th, dapat jugak aku buat appointment with Dr. Haris. After tanya some soalan...dier terus tetapkan surgery on 17th January. Terkesima jugak la aku & husband. Sebab tak sangka dapat cepat macam tu. Nasib aku dapat awal sebab kes serius and ada orang cancel kan surgery that time. But i'm kinda sad jugak...sebab aku tak boleh nak kerja masa CNY...which is my yearly income... :(

But takpe...duit boleh dicari...kesihatan comes first, right?
InsyaAllah...ni usaha kami suami isteri untuk mendapatkan anak...yelah...Cysts tu dua-dua block ovum untuk keluar ke fallopian tube. So doakan semoga takde lagi masalah lain...

See you in next post. :)

Thepoplook.com ~ You're making my heart melt!

 Assalammualaikum and Good day minna-san~!

After married, I've been eating 'regularly' till I gotten a bit... chubby. LOL. Therefore, I'm very particular in my outfit nowadays. I still can fit my old baby tee but they've been kinda snug-ish to me. I don't feel comfortable. :(

So then, I always look up for baggy but flamboyant and timeless piece of clothing (to hide that extra tyres). Hehehe! Therefore, one of my fave style would be Maxi dress!

Anyway, I've been lurking around this website Thepoplook.com for quite a while. Indeed such a heart melt! *drools* The gorgeous styles, fine materials, and the postage is free for anywhere in Malaysia! *___*
But...right now I can't spend anything yet since I'm jobless and need to keep my savings for my surgery, so I just share the goodness from ThePoplook.com . ^_^

My fave 'berangan' coordinate would be:

Polka Chiffon Maxi Dress
Green                                                   Light Pink


Either Green or Pink. Both are darlings! I love the green one, but the pink dress is super sweet!! 
Ya know~ tetiba teringin to dress up something girlish and manja on a date with husband.  
Oh my...feel so malu to say that, because I never dolled up myself for him except for jeans and shirt (and for Lolita gathering). I know he doesn't mind, but somehow I wish I can one day. :)


Bo Peep Cropped Top

Then for the outer layer, I love this white cropped top by MinkPink! The layers and scallops are adorable! It even have cute eyelets details at the hem. *kyaa!!* It is currently sold out on the website, but I hope ThePoplook will restock this design soon. ^^ 



And if you like something not see-through and longer, just pair up the chiffon maxi dress with white, nude or beige coloured cardigan. Or be bold with black blazer! :) 



Block Party Headband


Well, you can't leave your hair without this beauty! Simple yet feminine... *o* As I adore the accessories from Sereni & Shentel, ThePoplook also carry them in the website! This headband would perfectly match the Pink Chiffon Maxi dress and the white cropped top coordinate, don't you think? ^_^ Gotta find something with nude, beige or black if you're using those colours as the outer layer or accessories!


Ahhh~~~ I can only dream~~ *___*
Maybe I can achieve my dream one day. Teehee! :D

Ducati Multistrada Borneo Experience - Day 4

28th November 2011.

That early morning not remembering that it was a holiday, I woke up to get ready my husband's work things. Luckily he asked, "What are you doing? Ironing my shirt on a holiday? o_O"

So yay!! We got the chance to see the flag-off session of the Ducati Multistrada Convoy! XD

Since it was a holiday, there were lots of parking space available. *winks*

On to the pictures!


At RH Hotel entrance.


A quick briefing session.


Spotted Chloe!


Pretty lady, representatives from SHELL and Dato'.


Doa and prayer for safety in the journey.


This Abang Macho from Kuching striked a pose. :D


His bike and helmet is so colourful and artistic!


I'll probably inside this van if I were joining the adventure. :P


And I managed to get the video of the flag-off too!
But they were shaky, so forgive me...I ain't no professional videographer. Only using mobile phone. ^^;;



Part 1 - The Preparation


Part 2 - The flag-off by YBhg. Dato' Tiong Thai King. 



Inside the videos, you can see Chloe and Nigel. Hehe. XD

That was a fun experience for me even though I didn't get to join the convoy. Hopefully we can get to see more Ducati events soon! ^_^

Ducati Multistrada Borneo Experience - Day 3

It was on 27th November, and I was getting ready early to see the Convoy in action in Sibu! :D
Was told to meet up at Rafi Cafe at 8pm according to the itenary sent in my email, but I was there since 7.30pm. But there were nobody there. My husband only dropped me there and himself went to the PC Fair. *cicadas sound* Then I contacted Chloe & Sherrie as I was very "blur" about the situation. Then Chloe said to meet up in RH Hotel instead. So i guess the dinner location was changed to RH Hotel. i quickly called my husband to pick me up, and luckily there were NOTHING to see at the PC Fair Sibu so he can pick me up quickly. :P

Upon our arrival at RH Hotel, ahhhh!!! There were no more parking! Cars parked everywhere (See? Sarawak people are rich. LOL) including the illegal parking. Mr Husband, assuming that we will be attending the dinner quickly, has decided to park illegally. **DO NOT DO THIS. THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES AFTERWARD. PLEASE READ UNTIL FINISH**


Finally my husband and I met Chloe at the lobby. She's a very bubbly person. XD
Then, we went up to Level 3 for the dinner session. And on to the pics!



A sign at the elevator.


The front hall.


The hall was located at the pool side. :)




Fresh flowers! *_*


My food. Yea, only took a bit cause I already had mine at home.
Thought only having teh tarik at Rafi Cafe, but yeah, changed of plans. XD



The Stage.



Participants of the 10-days Borneo adventure!


Anybody recognise them? 
"Jangan biarkan hidup anda diselubungi... misteri" Okay, I just HAD to say that. xD



They were from TV3. 
The "Misteri Nusantara" Guy was actually talking to Chloe. 
Indeed funny moments that time. :P


Cake anyone?


Thank you so much RH Hotel!
Chloe and I get to bring back these lovelies!


Teehee! We get the chance to see the bikes personally.


The 'iPad' for Ducati. xD


Encik Nazrin Khan gave a briefing about the Multistrada 1200 to Chloe.
Cool lights! *_*


This is Monsterrrr!!! Me rikey!! *________*


Mr. Husband. So chibi... :P


Ah yeah...I know...inside his heart he probably said, "DAMN! My dream bike!"


Cool lower parts.


Chloe as the runaway bride. 


Men talk.


Ducati


Cool 'clan' name. xD


The rim.


Chloe. :3


And finally...my time to get on the Multistrada. 
I just want to say my face is actually almost the same like the cartoon by this time.
Tersengih-sengih.


After that 'private session', we bid goodbye to Chloe~~ ;_; Nice to meet you dear!

And...about the illegal parking...we got a Summon fine... T_______T
First time doing illegal parking, and already kena the 'unlucky' ticket. So people, DO NOT park illegally.
RM150 flew~~~ oTL Sayangi duit anda.

Okay, next post, Day 4 - The flag off to Bintulu!

Ngerepak *Post yang byk random stuff*

Assalammualaikum.

Yarabbi...lamak sik berceloteh lam bahasa Sarawak di blog tok.
Actually menimbun jak benda nak di post, tapi nama nak penyakit malas tok susah nak dipadah. Hari tok tek bertungkus lumus juak ngedit gambar dari event Ducati ria. Sik gilak ku pandey makey menatang software Photoscape nak senang gilak ya, senang gilak sampey konpius. serius rindu ku ngan Adobe Photoshop. Of course banyak juak function yang xda lam Photoscape ya sampey ngerenyam rasa tangan nak ngerutis screen konon-konon nak 'ngeblur' ala-ala lukisan asli.

Now pasal life...hmm...banyak juak yang happened...good and bad. Apa yang aku takut, it's there.
i got mixed feelings whether mok blog kah sik...yang ku tauk, nak nangis susah, nak be happy pun susah. Molah muka poker face jak. Be SETERONG *sila tekankan 'r' anda* (strong) kata orang tua. Yang ku tauk aku rasa kesian ngan hubby aku. Mesti nya jadi blur juak cam aku. Dahlah tensen ngan kerja. Sikhal...anggap jak tok another dugaan dari Allah.

Apa yang aku boleh padah, aku perlu kerja pakey menjana pendapatan. Tapi for sure, aku x dapat kerja opis. I got my own reason, but after aku selesaikan *something* then InsyaAllah, aku akan kerja macam orang normal. *erk, aku tok tek xnormal?*

Yalah, aku tok suka berbisnes. Dah pateh dari kecik nangga nenek ku berkedei...copet gula batu, buku & pensel pasya jual di sekolah. Hehe~ Nenek ku nangga ada potensi, lalu nolong nya berjual kueh, biskut, etc.

Time aku gik study, aku tolong orang beli barang online. Charge? Sukati jak brapa kawan2 aku nak upah. Zaman dolok rami org sik brapa tauk nak beli brg online and xda credit card, so aku offer service aku.

Dalam time jadi suri rumah tok, aku berjual juak produk Ronasutra...Alhamdulillah aku suka ngan produk tok sebab sesuai ngan kulit muka. Then aku masok juak jadi Independent Consultant MaryKay which aku lom pernah jual anything sebab honestly barang ada mahal sikit and aku xda duit nak beli sample pakey demo. But maybe orang masih xtauk yang skincare nya sangat bagus. X hal~

Pasya, one of my dream nak bukak Boutique...right now pun aku start sikit-sikit. Jual baju kurung batik ekslusif. Semua duit simpanan aku labur pakey beli stock, share ngan best friend ku Shafiq. Baju kurung batik tok bukan sebarang batik okay? Nang original batik Malaysia dilukis tangan, kalering method and pencampuran warna yang fabulous, jahitan bukan style orang malas, siap ngan batu-batu bling-bling gik ya. "Menyin-menyin jak bini Aziz time raya tok!" bak kata nenek husband ku. Kekeke~ Stewardess MAS pun banyak tanyak siney aku beli baju ya time ku balit Kedah raya ya tek.

Tapi, cabaran nya...even though baju ya kacak...susah juak nak jual. Sebab harga nya. But aku berani jamin, right now, aku sorang jak jual design ya, with lower price than kedei2 batik lain. Aku xpasti in the future reganya camne, cuz supplier aku pun ngerepak madah cost polah baju ya mahal gilak. However, rami juak yang tanyak, "kitak ada blog jual baju kah?" Sorry...kinek tok sik brani nak bukak online lok...sebab takut orang curi design. So, mun maok, just contact me jak lah, i'll bring them over for you to see. :)

Hmm...banyak gik aku nak type sebenarnya...but aku terpaksa stop dolok...ada mission lain kaktok. Nak carik pusak rah tempat makan di Kpg. Bandung. Malam tadik aku terkejut sebab nya ugak2 kedak pusak ku yang hilang ya. Nang pelik juak lah sbb hilang di Kuching. Ne tauk nya ter'travel' skali lam enjin keta...
Yalah mok check balit...malam tadik xnampak warna matanya apa and lupak nak check perutnya cuz my pusak nama Bunga ya ada kesan lekak bedah.

So, ciao~ kelak ngerepak agik...Baibai!

p/s: Ya Allah...murahkanlah rezeki suamiku...tenangkanlah hatinya...Amin...

Birthday ice-cream cupcakes!

Goodbye November, and Hello December! :D

Assalammualaikum & good day!

Alhamdulillah the weather is sunny right now in Sibu, and before i'm doing my laundy i better update my blog with the post that was meant to be posted on 16th November. LOL.

On last 15th November, which was my birthday, i tried to make my own birthday cupcakes. And the most challenging thing is i don't even have an electrical mixer and a baking oven.

And i only get to use a FORK for beating!





And this for baking!






As for the muffin, i just used Vanilla muffin recipe that i found online. At first i want to make a buttercream icing however after beating the muffin's batter, i gave up. LOL.
And now, onto the process...


Beating the butter and granulated sugar. 
Smells nice as i love eating these with breads! *_*


And now with eggs. 
The texture doesn't look good as the butter and sugar 
did not get enough beatings.


After getting some essence, milk, baking powder and flour.

After that, i just put the batter inside cups according to 2/3 of your cup.
And bake it inside the cooking ware that have been warmed up.
 Just simply put them inside and no i didn't use steam method this time. 
Will try that next time.


So yeah, this is how they look like after baking. 
Lots of air bubbles i think, and they don't get fluffy like muffins always do. :/


Since they're kinda 'bare', so i decided to pump up some strawberry jam inside.
Since the muffin already have holes, so it is easy for me. :P

Squeeze in any amount you like. 
People will find the surprise when they took a bite. ;)

With normal muffin, one squeeze of jam is enough i think?
But i have sweet tooth, so no problemo if i put more! X3

Since it was tiring to beat up for the icing, so i put ice-cream on the muffins.
Sorry, the ice-cream kinda melting since i just used the cheap brand.
You can decorate with anything that you like. :)


So ta-daa!! My Raspberry ice-cream cupcake!!! XD

Overall satisfaction, 50-50. i need to do better next time. :)
Hoping for an oven & a mixer soon!
