Allergic

Assalamualaikum

Hi macam-macam penyakit datang bila time perubahan musim ni. Kesian Zahin, dah lah ada Athma, last week kene Tummy bug..then early of this week naik merah2 pulak satu badan.
Kesian dia tergaru-garu and kept saying, itchy, itchy. Kesian anak ummi. :(

Kitorang pening fikir mana datang plak all the rashes. Sebelum tue tak ada pon makan seafood. Rumah ni yg allergic to seafood cuma hubby. tp klu makan sikit ok je. Kalau overdose memang sampai bengkak2 mata..huhu.

So kitorang rasa Zahin ni makan ayam banyak sangat kot. Masa dia kecik dia ada eczyma, allergics to kuning telur. Pastu ayam pon stop kejap sebab ayam pon 'gatal' kan. Bila makin besar dia dah tak ada lagi eczyma tu yang tak kisah pantang.

So Seperti biasa kalau allergics kitorang just bagi makan Piriton, ubat selsema. So far it works for my hubby and kids. Lepas bagi hari isnin aritu sekejap hilang dan turun rashes tu. by night Zahin dah tak complain gatal lagi.

Alhamdulillah. Hari selasa dia dah pergi sekolah. Hopefully, anak-anak ummi semua sihat-sihat lepas ni. Amin! :)

Tummy Bugs

Assalamualaikum

Poor Zahin. She was down with Tummy Bugs since Thursday night. :(

She started vomitting at 1 o clock in the early of friday morning. Yup, all of us were in Lalaland when it happened. In fact, She threw up on me and Zafri. I wondered why because she was fine before that.

The next morning she kept vomitting and looked so sick. She claimed her tummy ached and rumbling so we decided to keep her at home. She was absent on friday. During breakfast she did not eat and drink much but she still vomitted again and again. We quickly called GP but unfortunately there was no more appointments available that day. Pffft!

Luckily there is a walk in centre nearby at Barking Hospital so hubby immediately drove us there after fetching Iris from nursery.

When we arrived at the centre, there were quite number of people already waiting. But the service was fast and in no time we were called in by a nurse. Then the nurse confirmed that she had Tummy Bugs or as well called as Stomach Bugs.

The nurse said it was contagious so she might got it from other people. At school maybe..since other than her, we all were fine. Unfortunately, there was no medicine given for Tummy Bugs. The natural treatment is the only way, so we just went home.

In the mean time, we just make sure that she eats and drinks though she did not feel like to. It is very important as to prevent her from dehydration.

After some reading, she needs to avoid dairy products and caffeinated drink. So no milk, no milo for her at this moment. The nurse also advised us to give her only toasts, not even a porridge. huhu.We had to force her to eat and drink.

It really was a battle because she refused everything! She was too afraid to eat due to many times vomit. Kesian ok. She just lying and sleeping on the couch and bed most of the time..it made me sad to see her in the condition. If she's healthy, she will not be like that.

But tonight she already want to eat rice and she ate alot! :) Alhamdulillah she can already walk as well. As per yesterday, she was really weak even to stand and walk. We had to carry her upstairs and downstairs.!

But now, she looks much better and no one else have the tummy bug symptoms. Hopefully no one will ever get down with this bad bug. Amin.

To Zahin, hang in there, dear. you're a very strong girl! Get well soon, love.

PS. Apparently, it was in today's online local paper where Tummy or Stomach Bugs outbreak all over England now. Scary!! Read here.

Athma Attack at School

Autumn's arriving so It's cold since the temperature starts dropping gradually day to day. The wind is strong too. We're starting to wear socks and sleep under the duvet during night. We cant let the window opens all nite along anymore.
Zahin has been coughed since last week but only yesterday she got into athma. Poor along zahin..
And today id got emergency call from her school but i cant take it as i was in the lecture. During the break, i called hubby since i cant reach the school helpdesk. Then i knew that hubby already fetched zahin. He said Her condition has worsened. Oh what a test..
Know what, when things like this happen, i wish i didnt further my study. But i know Allah has best plan for me so i just hope i could hang on all the challenge and still standing. InsyaAllah. Please pray for me and of coz my beloved doter as well.

Still Survive

Up to date, the Eins are still having cough and cold. however they both are very active. Quarelling like no body business is their middle name. So, no worries. :) Bb Zafri had block nose last week but he's fine now. Hubby is only the one who's being healthy while Ummi is having cold, sore throat and block nose as well. But so far so good. Alhamdulillah.

BUT  the thing which haunted us the most now is BED BUGS!!!!!!!!!! Arghhhhhhhhh. 

Zahin was being attacked badly. Rashes fr top to toe, hokey ..Cis, ciskek punye bed bugs. Cian anak ummi. :(

Actually, hubby had noticed the existence of the bed bugs since we moved in to this house but we thought it's just for temporarily. In the mean time, hubby had tried many ways to kill'em but none works. Now it's getting worse!! All of us are being bitten including lil Zafri. Habis kulit muka anak bujang i. T_T 

Hubby already reported to Zishan, the house agent few months ago. Zishan promised to send over somebody to check, but until now no one's ever came! Up to one point, we thought of moving out but since we had 1-yr contract agreement, we have to think thrice!

will try to call Zaishan again n will see how. Otherwise we have to call a pest control. The last resort la sbb kena bayar 150 pounds.Adey, mahal. The Bed bugs cannot be seen with human eyes, if can, we definitely wont rent this house. :(

Okla i will stop talking about the bed bugs for now. FENIN doh pk. :(

Sebagai selingan, here are some updates of my three dearest bundle of joy.

For Zahin

She's into typing now. Love typing words at Microsoft Words. She knows how to write her name and Iris's name correctly. Everytime i webcam with my mom at YM, she sibuk type nama dia. Then siap ajak Tok Mak join type sekali. Adey. Snce she owns a laptop lagi menjadi2!! Drawing pun nak buat kat Paint. Tak nak paper or colouring book. Tak hagak2. Aihh budak2 zaman skrg..canggih-manggih ekk..:P

She can count up to 100 now. Dulu count with her style la. 30 dia sebut apa tau! Three Ten. So do with forty jadi four ten. The same with 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90. Mula tergelak weol. Hehe. Skrg ni kdg saje count mcm tu jgk..saje nak test ummi. Sabo je la.

Alif Ba Ta up to Ya is also passed. Hubby and me couldn;t find time yet to teach her Muqaddam formally. We plan to send her to K.Ana to learn it soon. Nowadays, guna cara Qiraati rite?but I don;t familiar with the Qiraati technic. :( So kene jjgk hntr belajar ngan pakar la. nasib baik dah kenal k.Ana. ;) Sebelum ke UK, dah belikan Muqaddam dan bawa ke sini. Muqaddam pun dah canggih, tear n water proof gitu. Ummi tarik kuat2 mmg tak koyak. :D Cover muqaddam in purple metallic colour. Tau tak masa mula2 beli, Zahin bley tanya kenapa babah tak belikan yg colour pink. Sabo je la Miss Pinky ni. hehehehe.

For Iris

Her two upper 'gigi taring' dah tumbuh. Another two lower are starting to grow. Lately, asyik masuk jari dlm mulut. Ayaq liuq meleleh jgn cakap la..huhu. Yg bestnya babah smpi belikan teether!! hik hik. Tapi sia2 je beli, jari jgk best..Itu, tak pe lagi. Haritu perut, lengan adik dia hampir jd mangsa taw. mujur la depan mata ummi.

Jari dalam mulut sambil layan The Simpsons kt laptop Along.

Counting 1 to 10 is passed oledi. ;) ABC is still in progress. Tapi part last 'Now I know my ABC..' tu dh pass la tp with her own style. Pelat2 lagi. ;) Bab singing memang no. 1. Favourite! Selalu nyanyi last part ABC, Twinkle2 Little Star. Twinkle song ni pun dh pass, clean n clear every words cuma line 3 ada payah sket nak sebut. hehe sll dia lompat trus ke last line. Sabo je la..hihihihi Iris, Iris..

Alif Ba Ta also in progress. Bila suro baca alif ba ta, mesti dia baca laju2 macam ni ' alif ba ta sa jim dot. hhihihihi terus lompat ke Dhod tuu. Aihhh. :D Now ni klu guide, mmg pass la. Aritu tang Lam Alif dia ulang apa tau. Lam alif ba ta..Adake..konfiden je dia ni...Patu org Wassalam kn? dia ulang...Wassalamekom...ekekeke. Ada2 je si debab ni tau.  :D

Okla thats all for now. Kalu nak ikutkan ada lg nk share progress2 diorang ni tp time tak mengijinkan. :( Progress lil Zafri pun next time k. Tengok gmbar je la dulu ehh. heee.

My lil prince charming. Our latest heartthrobe ;)

Last but not least, pagi tadi weol pegi buat Visa Zafri kt British High Commisiion di Croydon. Almost 2 hrs driving fr Stratford. Walaupun penat naik tangga dukung Zafri, lama tunggu tapi berbaloi lepas tau permohonan visa Zafri lulus. Tapi kad id visa tu akn dipos ke rumah witin 7 working days. Hrp tade masalah lain dan smpi cepat or on time. Amin. (Visa British makin ketat la undang2 dia skrg. Makin mahal lak tuh. Kalau dulu dapat sticker pink kat dalam passport, tapi skrg guna kad id plak. Macam2)

OTW balik singgah Greenwich town. Had lunch by Thames River. :)

Lastly, lusa my parents will be arrived. Vacation mood pon sudah mariii. Hip2 hoorey! the Eins pun sama2 counting days. tiap2 hari Zahin ingat Tok Mak dia sampai UK. :D Kalau notti, ummi ckp tak leh ikut amik tok Mak kt Airport. Dan2 terus tk notti. Patu Zahin siap cop Tok Mak suro duduk sebelah dia dlm keta . hbs la konfem berebut Tok Mak ngan Iris nti. Yeay 2 hari je lagi. Insya Allah. Harap2 sempat spring cleaning. Guest room pun tak siap lagi tu. Nk kena mop vacuum, pasang bed sheet and duvet cover. :)

Till then Wassalam.

UNWELL AGAIN

Since last sunday..Iris has been down with fever, cough and cold. Then on tuesday night, the virus  quickly transfered to Zahin. As a result, Zahin didn't go to nursery from wednesday until friday (this morning). But while she was at home plus unwell, she tended to be cranky like 24-7. Dalam tak sihat tu, asyik menyakat adik aje kejenya. Iris meraung, dia pun meraung sebab kene marah and so on. that made hubby and me really head-ache..

While the Eins were still sick and needed my fully attention, the bad virus had finally attacked me on wednesday night!! My body started burning, what i could do in the past two days was jus lying on a bed. huhu. then on last thursday i started to get cough..really bad one. Sampai sakit muscles around my abdomen ni.  siksanya lah! Malam org lain tidur, i batuk kong-kang2 sepanjang malam sampai ke pagi. T_T. Not to mention that i banyak kali pegi toilet..ya Allah, i felt so exhausted. Only yesterday, hubby suggested me to take some panadol..alhamdulillah tonite the fever is gone..(kalau tahu makan panadol lg awal, kn? ;p) the cough is also getting mild. Alhamdulillah.

Sakit-sakit macam ni, rasa lemah sangat seluruh badan. Makan pun tak ada selera. Kesan batuk yang teruk tu rasanya telah mencederakan tekak dan deria rasa saya lah. Nasi my favourite, 2-3 suap je boleh masuk. Yang boleh cuma makan cereal and milk je. So up to date, urat-urat satu badan ni masih sakit lagi, tenaga pun macam almost 0%. Walaupun mild cough, tetap siksa setiap kali batuk..:(

So tiga hari ini, semua hubby yang masakkan/sediakan makan minum. Kesian hubby, walaupun busy buat research, pegi uni and nak siapkan technical report lagi tetap sabar melayani ratu dan puteri2 kesayangan dia ni. hihi. (TQ Sayang! love you domo domo domo domo domo domooooo...(domo (korean) = sangat) :D. Harap virus ni tak menyangkit la kt hubby cos he's our only hero. :)) I hope the Eins n i'll recover soon too. Doakan kami ye. :)

Then i promise to watch our food intake better and not to miss to take vit c as usual daily. So far, berat maintain 62kg sama macam 3 minggu lepas, tak naik-naik risau plak..ke dah start maintain? :D tapi kalau ikutkan berat sebelum pregnant hari tue, dah naik 12kg dah ni. :D. Hopefully jumpa midwife selasa ni ok jela sume. Hopefully, on the day i want to deliver lil One, i'll be fully recovered. Kalau tak that, tak ada tenaga, macam mana la nak push nanti? :( Paling penting, i always pray so that our lil One is doing fine in there. Amin.

Apapun, alhamdulillah a'la kulli haal. Allah masih panjangkan umur ini lagi. I'm so thankful. T_T. Ya Allah, permudahkanlah urusan kami sekeluarga. Amin.

Till then, Wassalam.

NASI MINYAK BY ZAHIN'S REQUEST

Last friday, Zahin had asked me to cook Nasi Minyak again. Yea, she had asked for it earlier but i didn't have mood to cook Nasi Minyak yet at that time. :( But when she asked while she was sick, it really touched my heart. So this time i made an attempt to cook but the very simple Nasi Minyak for her and glad that it suited to her liking. (Before that she had refused to eat anything). Also i made chicken curry without a coconut milk to be eaten with Nasi Minyak. :) 

I'm sure everybody knows how to make Nasi Minyak and chicken curry but still i want to share how i did it in here. ;)

Ingredients:

3 cups of Basmathi rice

4 cups of water (this depends on your rice, mine doesn't need too much water)

4 red shallots (sliced finely) *

2 garlics (sliced finely)*

1 ladled of Ghee oil

2 star anise*

1 cinnamon stick*

2-3 cardamom pods*

2-3 cloves*

1/2 tomato (sliced finely)

salt to taste

Raisins or other like cashews (optional)

Directions:

1. Wash, rinse rice well and drain it. Put it aside.

2. Heat Ghee oil in a electric rice pot and fry all with * until soft and fragrant

3. Add in the tomato and salt and stir all evenly.

4. Pour the rice into the pot and pour water, add the raisins and keep stirring evenly for a while. Off the heat.

5. Cook the rice on electric cooker like cooking the ordinary rice.

6. When it cooked, give it a stir first before ready to serve. (Gembur2 kan. :D)

I tell you, it is very simple one! :D

Yesterday we had to take Zahin to A & E at N.U.H since her condition not getting any better and she didn't sleep at all the whole night due to breath problem. So I packed a bag and brought Nasi Minyak along in case if we stranded there. We had stranded for quite long hours. Luckily, they allowed us to bring our own food inside. So all of us had eaten Nasi Minyak and Chicken Curry in the cubicle ward at Emergency walk in centre. ;D

Nway, it was tiring of waiting from 11a.m but it's all worth it when finally at 5p.m, Dr. Benjamin allowed Zahin to go home. I dunno what would happen to Iris if Zahin had to admit ward..Since Zahin's oxygen saturated level showed above 90%, doctors decided that she could go home and just gave her an inhaler, volumatic spacer device and steroids to be taken according to their directions. It's f.o.c. If only her condition got worsen, Doc asked us to bring her back immediately.

at the A & E Play Area while waiting to see a doc.

We pray so that Zahin will be fully recovered as soon as possible so that she doesn't need to go to A & E again.

Wassalam.

WEATHER SHOCK

We were welcomed by extremely cold weather in winter. The mean of the temperature in the first week of our arrival was only between -2 degree and 0 degree celcius. The coldness was undesribabled. Huhu! And it was snowing in the following week though. So that's when The Eins had started to fall sick. Mula-mula dua-dua kena selsema, esoknya Zahin demam diikuti pula oleh Iris. Bila sakit, dua-dua meragam, bad mood, tak berapa nak makan dan minum. Sedih sangat tengok keadaan diorang masa tu. T_T

Zahin's temperature went so high during night and so hot until she claimed her eyes were also burning. :(

Mujurlah Yus ada juga beri sebotol Tamarind paste jadi dapatlah ummi jerlum kepala dan lap badan dia dengan tamarind water. Pipi dan bibir pun sampai dah naik merah dan kering. Ubat demam, Uphamol, Nurufen dan Calpol sekejap aje berkesan, lepas empat jam panas balik. Kalau pergi klinik pun sama jugak rasanya. :(

BTW Iris pun sama jugak, cuma tiada gambar je. Tak sempat daaa..Once caught in cold and fever in winter, it would take some time to be fully recovered. Tapi Alhamdulillah up to date The Eins dah sihat..:) So atuk, atuk, nenek-nenek, pakcik dan mak cik jangan risau k, insya Allah ummi dan babah akan jaga The Eins baik-baik kat sini. ;)

P.S Today is Tok Mak's birthday. Happy 53rd birthday, Tok Mak! We love and miss you so much. :)

Wassalam.
