I have moved to here..

It has been 5 days since we back here in BPN. Glad that we are back home after 2 ½ months away. Kids are especially happy being able to get access to their toys again (with a bit of upgrade done by daddy – before I left last time, I bought a 4 by 5 meter carpet from a friend to fit into their toys room). It does make a lot of different when the floor is carpeted. Lagi best nak main golek-golek, boleh tumble around.

Anyway, our trip to S’pore to gain access to Indon was horrible. It dawn upon me that all our trips to this country is actually cursed in some way. Hehehee. Husband yang pointed it out. Everytime we are here, mesti ada disaster hit us. Aliff was down with fever due to ear infection (he went swimming at the hotel pool) when we were there. Terbang S$171 for the treatment (berapa tu dlm RM??). with that, it also interfered my shopping plan. Tak puas tau! Husbang yang understanding itu telah let me go loose on the day we are leaving. He stayed at the room to look after the 3 kids while I went out for my shopping excursion. Tetapi.. ehhehe.. satu apa pun saya tak beli sebab saya ni baru beranak, maka seluar-seluar yg size biasa saya pakai tu semua tak muat lagi. Macam rugi plak nak beli bigger size. Hehehe.. perasan nya boleh loose weight lagi la tu.

Being back here, I already have a long list of things to do prior to our relocation. Kena withdraw kids from school here, sending notice to Aliff’s swimming club and the religious teacher for intention to pull out, my once a month charity lunch for old folks home also comes to an end, no more hosting for playgroup, and no more cooking lessons at home that we taking turn to do. Sedih jugak bila fikir-fikir.

On top of that, I’ve downloaded the admission forms for school in JKT. It’s a good thing that the school calendar starts in August. Perfect for Aliff’s admission (and Aliyah’s too). Husband has already short listed some houses for final inspection and selection. Mak aii, mansion-mansion yg besau-besau gitu sapa yang nak duduk? From the photos, memang la nampak gah dan cantik, lengkap ngan swimming pool semua. But then aisey, family saya ni simple aje. Tak sesuai la with that sort of living. I am not interested with all those fancy looking mansion. I’d rather choose a house that located in a compound like where we are now.

The compound where we are living now is very nice. Complete with all the facilities needed. In fact, tengah2 malam buta kalau aircond is not working we could call the maintenance team to come and fix. They are on 24 by 7 standby. Siap service cuci tingkap, cuci atap rumah, fogging twice a month. Tukar bulb pun mereka yang buat. In fact, ada jugak service utk cuci dan shampoo carpet for free. Apa sahaja yang tak berkenan di hati atau nak tambah storage or anything, cepat aje mereka come to get it done. Semua tu free (termasuk electric, water and cable tv). Dah la the whole house ni running on aircond all the time – bathrooms pun aircond ok! All have been included in the house rent. Berapa sewa nya? Memang la mahal tapi berbaloi sebab all in. Err, sebab tu jugak saya agak sedih sebab it’s not much longer for us to stay here.  

We are going to JKT for 10 days next week. For me to settle the school registrations and select the house. I am thinking of taking my maid along to look after the kids since I am going to be busy. Amboi, syok la dia dapat dok hotel for 10 days, tak yah masak & kemas rumah. Then, we have the remaining 10 days in BPN to get ready everything. Removalist pun dah datang yesterday to assess the amount of things we have for the relocation. I’ve asked them if their service including the unpacking as well. Heheheeh.. oh, teramat la senang kalau mereka juga tolong unpack. And yes, all that are included. Tinggal nak tunjuk aje where everything goes. Baguss..

I’d better run. Sebenarnya, household saya sekarang ni tengah marathon fever. Aliff has passed the baton to Aliyah. Her cheek is now flushed pink with watery eyes. Mummy pun rasa sengal-sengal ala-ala nak demam jugak ni.

So many things have happened for the past week. I am glad I didn't have time to blog several days ago. Otherwise, all sorts of ugly words could have appeared – untuk meluahkan perasaan yg amat tak puas hati. Tapi tak apalah, as I told myself – I want to be able to put all that behind and laugh about it, walaupun sebenarnya tak kelakar langsung. Menyakitkan hati ada lah. Kalau saya ada power untuk sumpah orang jadi batu, time tu jugak saya buat.

Anyway, because of that stupid incident, my husband had urged me to come back home earlier than we planned. One month early. Sigh. But I guess I should be heading home right now for the relocation arrangements. And my husband being such an organized person has already all dates planned out for me;

10 days for me to come to JKT for house inspections and school registration. He already went to view the houses and shortlisted them for me for final look – of course lah final say come from the wifey kan? Sebab I yang nanti dok terperuk kat rumah tu. Ehhehe.. tak ada lah.. kata persetujuan suami isteri la.. baru lah aman rumah tangga. Another 10 days for me sorts out the packers to come and pack everything. Bukan busy apa pun, tinggal nak tunjuk aje barang apa nak pack. Depa yang buat semua. Nak pindahnya in the middle of August..  All seems pretty exciting.

On the other hand, I am feeling a bit sad having to leave my nest here. We've been here for 2 ½ months and it has been fantastic to be able to re-connect with everything here. The kids went through a bit of adjustments when we first arrived but after a week, all has settled. I managed to enroll Aliff into swimming private lesson along with this one creative thinking workshop that he really enjoyed attending. Sedih nak tinggalkan rumah ni L for I know we won't be having a long stay like this anymore.

Tapi kot mana pun, the biggest mission of why we are here has been accomplished: alhamdulillah, we have Aysha now.

We are leaving this afternoon.. sob, sob.. singgah kat S'pore for 2 days in getting the visa. (ada bau-bau shopping aje gitu) Packing pun belum sudah lagi.. rumah berterabur dgn barang2 yg nak dibawa. Husband will be coming to fetch us. Sian dia. He left JKT early this morning, back to BPN. Then balik rumah sat amik barang dia, off again to fly back to KL at 11. Sampai KL at 4.30 pm and our next flight out is at 6.50pm. hehehe.. boleh cam gitu? Memang dia tak balik rumah pun. Itu nama nya suami mithali, sanggup balik to help out, although I did say that we could just meet up in S'pore. Tapi ye lah, nama dah ada anak 3 tu, barang2 nya memang agak melampau sikit. Segala baby car seat and stroller lagi. Adeeiii lah.

I don’t know if I should be happy or sad about it. It’s all happening too fast for me to get a grasp. A phone call by husband just now made it all confirmed.

It’s a good career enhancement for him, for he is getting a promotion to take over his boss’ position (the boss is resigning). Though it also means a bit more dosh comes in but I am not very happy with the news of relocation. By the looks of things, we are going to be based in JKT.

Kenapa, tak best ke nak dok kat JKT pulak? Bukan apa, sedih la .. the past 2 years in BPN has given me the best quality of life with less things to worry about. Tenang, aman damai aje. I always look at JKT as a place to visit, to shop (as to quench my thirst in shopping – sbb kat BPN tak de mall yg best) – not a place to live in.

Entah lah, may be I don’t know the place that well. Who knows I might fall in love with it as well.

Apa pun, kepala tetap berserabut having to think that now I have to scout for school, house to stay, getting the mover to pack things up bla, bla, bla. Adeii lah.. baru nak tarik nafas lega lepas bersalin ni.

But to look at the different light, ada la hikmah nya tu. Allah knows the best for what lies ahead of us and to consider this is rezeki for Aysha.

Err, tekak ni teringin nak makan that thai’s mango with sticky rice. Boleh ke orang dalam pantang makan? :-P tapi ini sudah hari yang ke 27.. aci ke tak?

Thank you everyone for all the wishes. J

Introducing the new addition to the family; baby Aysha.

For those who came to visit me & family, many thanks too.

Alhamdulillah, this time around I am more prepared than the previous two deliveries. All seem to be easier. Tak de lah rasa stress, rasa tension ke apa ke. My helper that specially imported from negara seberang came on the day I discharged from the hospital - perfect timing.  Badan pun rasa recovered quicker than before. Tak de lah pucat-pucat muka. Nak kata sleep deprived pun tak ada sebab the baby sleeps pretty much all night (tak tau la pulak nanti karang dia tukar sleeping pattern – mau bengkak2 la mata mummy)

Many asked me, “eh, tak follow pantang ke?” hehehehe.. follow, sapa kata tak follow. Tapi ikut my own definition of pantang lah. Tapi tak de lah berani-berani nak makan food yang kita tahu memang sengal dan ‘membawa padah’ to me and baby – well, especially to the baby lah sebab kalau baby sakit perut, nanti mummy jugak yang susah. As long as it's balanced diet, semua pun saya sapu bersih. Saya juga harus mahu itu segala massage, bertungku dan bengkung segala. Kena lah jaga badan, nak pakai lama kan?

J saya jugak telah joint itu kawan baik for lunch last Friday. Hehehe.. awak jgn lah buat terperanjat bila saya telefon ajak lunch. It’s not like u only know me yesterday *lol* In fact, I have to pretend to be a ‘budak baik’ bila pergi mengurut dengan mak awak. Syyyy.
