Today is very challenging...

Today is a very challenging day...since I got into the office, I felt unwell...non stop nausea....and while attending an important meeting from 9.30am - 12.30pm, I vomitted twice. I called my hubby and informed him about my condition. He advised me to go home but I have tonnes of work to complete. So he brought me to lunch...makan pun tak baper nak lalu...i ate nasi campur...dgn nasi yg sikit, berlaukkan ayam goreng and paru je. Ingatkan lepas lunch ok lah....tapi the whole afternoon, I felt so restless...mata i panas, asyik nak kuar air mata je...pastu my stomach felt so cramp and full, and my nausea became worse. I finally surrendered and called my hubby at 5.30pm and we went home.
I felt so uncomfortable in my stomach...dunno why lar....i ate breakfast and lunch, tapi perut mcm kosong and gastric jer.
On the way home, my hubby bought me chocolate and milo...in order to provide energy....rupanya trick tu berjaya...i felt better on the way home. Thanks darling...you r my saviour!
Sampai je rumah, I rested for a while...mandi, solat....and ate dinner...I felt even much better. Now I'm blogging while my dear hubby is upgrading my PC...bestlah u sayang...tak yah i antar kedai. Hehehehe....complete package for my PC.
Oklah....let's see how i feel tomorrow...hopefully better...insyaAllah.
My dear baby, pls behave tonite...so that mummy can sleep well ok.

Another 8 weeks to go...

It has been quite a while since my last post...and I'm now 8 months pregnant! Phew...time flies...another 56 days to go...can't explain how nervous I am. This pregnancy has been quite a challenging journey for me, though it has yet to reach the climax of it...i.e. the delivery....
but so far, I have been experiencing morning sickness from Mth 1-Mth 4....stopped during Mth 5-6....(I was so happy during this time)...and the nightmare returned on my 7th month until today...been vomitting almost every day...I haven't talked about my cramps (leg cramp, waist cramp...and all sorts of other cramps)...have I? I guess that concludes the challenges of being a pregnant woman...yeah, now we know!

Anyways, InsyaAllah my due date will be Oct 29th...hopefully I can celebrate hari raya at least 1 day sebab nanti dah bersalin, takleh mkn makanan raya...isk isk isk....dpt mkn ketupat dan rendang hari raya pertama...pastu nak bersalin pun takpa...hehehehe.

This year pun takder mood nak beli baju raya...unsure of what size and design I shud buy...tapi my hubby beria2 tempah 2 pasang baju melayu....hehehe...takpala sayang...kalau tak pakai raya ni, boleh pakai raya haji kan....manalah tau, kot2 raya ni u kena dok temankan I kat hospital...hehehehe.

Life in office has been quite a challenging ones as well...I have been a Team Lead for applications team since 2004...and the 2 years plus experience in this team has been a great one. But I guess it's time for a change and Alhamdulillah, I will be transferring to a new team, Lotus Notes as a Team Lead as well...effective Jan 1, 2007....obviously after my maternity leave.
I accepted this news with an open heart and bersyukur pada Allah...I'm going to miss all my frens in this team....they have been like family to me and good frens...but changes have to happen and when it's a good change like this, how can I resist? Alhamdulillah it's rezeki for our baby as well.

I would like to share a story which I experienced in working life sometime in July...I have always treated my team members like frens...we talked, we laughed, we shared, we gossipped, we discussed....more of like frens rather than team lead - team member r/ship. Quite often, we will go for breakfast together and even lunch together...and I thot that everyone feels comfortable having that kind of arrangement with me...so they will not hesitate to share with me if there's any problem in work. I guess Allah has proved to me that we can always make assumption, but life has it's ironic element. I learnt that in working life, people have the tendency to choose personal benefit over frenship. For example, irregardless of how close you are as frens, but when it come to a situation benefitting your self, you can either choose to protect the frenship and forgo the self-benefit, or choose to gain self-benefit eventhough if it means ruining the frenship. And that was what happened to me....and trust me, it was a painful situation....my frenship was jeopardized due to someone in the team who chose to gain self-benefit...I was schocked and cried when I first heard of this...however I learnt that life has to be this way when you deal with "pure and typical Malay" person...I'm a Malay of course, but I do know how politic works when you deal with typical Malays....full of hasad dengki dan tamak. Takpalah, Allah tu Maha Adil dan Maha Mengetahui...I can only pray to Allah that things will be better for me....and it has been great for me thus far...with the new transfer, new salary....Alhamdulillah....

Oklah....i guess i will try to write some more later....hopefully not after my delivery :)
Take care to all and just be yourself in life....hypocrites will not get away all the time...
