18 days to go.. and I am scared.

Assalamualaikum..

oh ho.. the days are approaching really quick now. at least that's what i feel.. but still alhamdulillah i am not freaking out yet.. haha sometimes i do feel extremely nervous.. worrying about the safety of the baby and the after pains.. but InsyaAllah, everything will be just fine.. i need to keep telling myself that and confide to what Allah has destined for me.. so far i am really worried about leaving the kiddos at school.. i have so many things to be done but i hope they will do just fine too during my maternity leave. i'm sure my besties will take good care of them.. speaking of which i should get them something nice! haha.. definitely in my to-do list.

oh! how i hate packing.. now packing the hospital bag drives me crazy too.. not only it reminds me the labour is coming reallll soon it also makes me buy more and more unnecessary stuff.. and heavy loading the bag too! usually i pack my stuff the night before i travel somewhere and i usually pack more than i need resulting a super heavy bag.. haha.. this time around the nurses reminded not to bring too much things but how would i know whether i am going to need them or i don't.. and i hate feeling insufficient.. you know like you have the thing that you need but it's at home. how irritating would that be? can i pack right before the pre-labour? ok.. don't answer that. I shall try my best to pack tonight.. let's start with the baby stuff then mine ok.

hmm.. right now i am *secretly* scared of the ambulance.. the vehicle, the siren and what not. since my mum's is next to the hospital sometimes it does not really help. but ambulances in kuala nerang are pretty well behaved. they do not scare me by blaring the siren really loud.. which is a big relief. but whenever i go to Alor Setar, the ambulances are really nasty. they send me shivers up my spine everytime.. catching the sight of an ambulance racing through the traffic is enough to make my eyes water. get that? oh i pray that i'll be brought to the hospital in a car not an ambulance..

oh.. ramadhan in nearing the end. which is sad.. i am a better person this ramadhan.. i recite more Al Quran than before and i have more patience and calmer.. alhamdulillah. hopefully there will be next ramadhan for me..

so everybody, have a wonderful ramadhan! happy packing for me! take care everybody!

may Allah bless all of us!

Flash Flood!

Assalamualaikum everybody!

Yesterday was 7th of Ramadhan.. and we were tested. It was raining heavily around 3.30pm and i was taking a cat nap.. haha.. suddenly at 5pm mama called and asked me to check whether it was flooding outside or not.. i was pretty annoyed because i was sound asleep and mama was shouting on the phone.. well, maxis sucks in kuala nerang when it rained that bad. i went out from the room to see hebi (my brother) sleeping too in front of the TV. i woke him up and asked him to go check at the back. we were darn surprised to see a riverflow of water at the back and it was as close as 1 cm to enter the kitchen area. hebi quickly grabbed some old clothes and put them at the door.. within seconds water started flowing inside the kitchen.. imagine the situation with me being heavily pregnant and all panicking and stuffing the kithcen door. hebi went out to get some tiles and what not to block the water from flowing rapidly inside the kitchen.. i was worried that that the water was going to flow inside mama's room and the tv area because the water in the bathroom was also rapidly rising. that would be horrible!

i called mr. hubs and he said to lift the baby stuff in the room and to put them on the bed. i did that and they were pretty heavy especially the baskets! pheww.. i lifted some of mama's stuff in the room under the bed like the vacuum cleaner, bags etc. then some of the stuff in the TV area like the feet massage machine, the pillows etc. by that moment the water was already flowing in the kitchen reaching the end corners of the kitchen already. we created some barriers made of curtains and clothes found in mama's room (hey that includes my long lost night dress.. hahaha) so that the water will not flow to the TV area.

after that we went out to see the flood outside.. the water flowed like a rapid river.. the shoes were all gone, the things from the backyards like the stool, the garbage container, the paint can were floating.. it was scary. i just hoped that the water will not enter the living room.. it was like a few inches away already. if it did, it would be a different story altogether!

i captured a few pictures for the keep..

Ramadhan is here..

Assalamualaikum everybody..

alhamdulillah we are still here to welcome a holy month of ramadhan again.. I pray that I am granted good health to complete fasting this year and to perform lots of ibadah too.. Insyaallah.

i have put the blog on hiatus for quite some time.. thehehe.. i was busy updating the baby blog hence making this blog a supplementary one. hehehe.. anyway, life is great at the moment. alhamdulillah. last night i managed to perform solat tarawih at the college's surau. packed with the kiddos of course.. alhamdulillah.. i am proud to see the kiddos performing prayers. the whole congregation made me proud. one funny thing happened last night though.. there was a student who tried to stop me from going home after the prayers since they had a meeting or something. thehe that poor girl was clueless. she didn't know that i am a teacher.. hehe i guess she didn't see the bulging pregnant tummy of mine under the telekung..

emm, i dunno what else to say. i pray that everybody will have a blessed ramadhan and may this ramadhan bring new hopes and hidayah to us! happy fasting everybody..

p/s: i pray hard that the baby is patient waiting inside the tummy until after hari raya.. please.. =)
