Huda and her eyelid problem

 Huda ni..eyelid memang problem. Tiap2 tahun, mesti jadi ketumbit. None of us are afflicted with kind of problem, even Hayaa. Well, I do have once in a while but mine is like a pinhead size of white thingy that usually sits on the border of the lid (usually happened when I'm stressed/ tired).


See the ketumbit on her right eye, lower lid. Aug2012 on plane nak pi tgk London Olympic 2012.

Ketumbit got a bit better few days later. @London, tunggu Hop-On, Hop-Off bus.

This time around, the whole eyelid kemerah2an. Sembab dua2 kelopak mata. Search of the net describes the condition as blepharitis. From the description, seems to be a minor inconvenience, not curable except only with hygiene care of the eye and eyelid. What worrying is...it might be an indication of eyelid skin cancer. Aduiii..

'Early detection is essential, but may be difficult because eyelid tumors often grow under the skin for years before presenting on the surface. Early warning signs include:

• a lump or bump that frequently bleeds or does not disappear 

persistent red eye or inflammation of the eyelids that does not respond to medication 

newly acquired flat or elevated pigmented lesions that have irregular borders and growth

unexplained loss of eyelashes

I'm ruling out first bullet sebab the ketumbit did disappear plus kalau berdarah pun, masa ketumbit tu betul2 tgh besar. Lps berdarah, mesti surut. Second bullet, this one time mata dia macam peachy sikit itu pun 1-2 dah hilang, not persistent. Inflammation of lid ni nak kena monitor.
I'm applying ointment. Let's see how it goes. Ni pun nak kena bersungguh sikit buat sebab si kenit ni dok kejip mata beria benar everytime I applied the ointment, takut tak berapa nak kena ointment tu to the inflamed area.
So far, no evidence of bullet 3&4. I'm watching out.

28 May 2014
Earlier this year, a new eye problem afflicted Huda. Her eyelids were swollen for a few days. Then, we noticed she would squint her eyes when talking to us. She would keep her head down if we walked outside of home. The worst, she would cry when waking up, refusing to open her eyes, even walked with her arms flailing around (coz she would walk with her eyes closed).
We decided to bring her to Pediatric Ophthalmologist in Tun Hussein Onn eye hospital. The verdict - Huda got Blepharitis. It's a common eye disease and not so serious. She got well about a month after that.
Now, her ketumbit muncul kembali...haishhh...we decided only to bring her back to the eye hospital if her light sensitivity issue crop up.

Klebang Original Coconut Shake

Sedaaaaapppp you...termimpi2. Dah le tengah suka makan benda manis2 at this stage. Ya Allah, janganlah pulak aku dapat gestational diabetes. Patutnya nak chk for glucose during next doc's visit.
I had the pleasure of slurping this marvelous shake (RM3.5/cup) during a biz trip (daytrip) to Melaka dgn my office mate Mdm Suri. Suri lah yg memperkenalkan den dgn shake ni. Kita takde la heran sgt, tapi kalau dah makcik ni dok sebut2 the day before the trip, dok sebut lagi at the start of the trip, again dok sebut masa mtg dah abih, ok laaahh. My curiousity already piqued.

The kedai itself. Kena masuk dalam sikit. Dia ada gerai kecik sikit, betul2 tepi main road.

Bila dah pekena...uihhhh..memang berbaloi2. Cool, sweet, slushy, creamy (vanilla ice-cream hokay), with small bits of isi kelapa yg lembut itu. Auuuuu...I feel good (jiggy dance).
Teringat2 punya pasal, masa kat Salak Tinggi, saw an advert for coconut shake. Sampai kat gerai....gerai kosong?! Sumpah seranah all the way balik ke rumah my mom. Kebetulan masa balik Perodua Race last week, about to lalu the same gerai. Masih bengang dgn first trip, merungut2 citer kat Acai yg tengah drive kereta. Ada rezeki la pulak, gerai open. Hehehhe..singgah la. Apa lagi. Beli sampai 7 cawan (RM3/cup), bagi separuh tu anak2 Acai.
The taste, boleh laaa nak lepas gian. A bit less than Klebang punya. Less creamy, less sweet. Isi kelapa pun mcm tak berapa muda. Like I said, nak lepas gian ok la. Lain kali lalu Klebang, must stop and buy.

New company's laptop

Finally! Got a new one. Sleeker and lighter, although dah takde CD-rom. Tak kisahla labu. Everything is using thumbdrive/ hard drive nowadays. I hate my current laptop (which I'm using at this exact moment, writing this blog). Asyik hang lah and paling menyampah...blue screen. Grrr..
So far takde lagi dgr org merungut psl this new laptop.

Tak setat pakai lagi, tak tau admin password kakakaka. Tunggu IT configure.

Hayaa's Art Studio

I would not say she draws or colors very well. But she has some creativity in presenting her artwork. Last time, she had an art gallery created out ouf a corner of our bedroom. This time around, she had an art studio la pulak out of our bedroom door. Macam2. Suka betul hubby dgn anak dara dia nye creativity.

Siap ada door sign 'Close/Open. Gelap sikit, snap night time

Lekat kat pintu pakai UHU. Noticed the botol susu? Huda pun nak nyibuk begambo

Close-up photo of her so called art work.

Kononnya center piece..kekeke

 Maybe I should consider sending her to art class? Not the conventional art class. The creative, self-expression, modern art class. Ada ke? Hmmm..maybe she can go into art gallery management thingy bila besar nanti. Is there such a thing?

Magazines shopping

Planning my budget and tracking my expenses is something that I've done for 5 years. Books buying has somewhat reduced these few years..don't have time to read it. Hayaa' just entered her Drj 1 and book expenses on her is not so much. Huda, heheheh...sian, reuse her sis's books lah. So I find myself resorting to buying magazines.
This morning, I walked in mynews and decided to buy the latest Personal Money mag, my fav mag. And thought, hey..why not splurge a bit. My book budget is under-utilized anyway. So got myself three mags.

Hijab, Personal Money & Runner's

I'm a frequent reader of PM. Runner's, I will buy once in a while, especially if the topic caught my interest. This time around I bought it because I miss running so much especially after the merry Perodua Race event last week (jeles tak habih lagi tgk depa2 tuh lari 15K). Hijab..hmmm..ni gara2 meneman Sera masuk kedai Guylin (? betoi ke heja..) an outlet selling tudung in Alamanda.
I've been wearing bawal/ cotton scarf, never had the intention to resort to fancy schmancy tudung. Byk keje lah nak memikir kaler, meng arrange tudung. Lagi satu, susah kot nak match 1 fancy schmancy scarf for several attires. However, raya is coming up and my attire will be limited to clothing to suit my already advanced pregnancy. By raya, I'll be like 8 months preggy.
So, hmmm...I might do fancy scarf, for raya only lah. Must do homework. Hijab magazine, as a start.

At Ben's ngap ngap

My reason to dine out at Ben's KLCC was one and only one. To have the Toffee Dates Pudding (aka sticky date pudding) with caramel and vanilla ice-cream (salivating..). Still salivating. Because dah habis ! Huwaaa!! I got there around 8pm. Guess benda tu jadi permintaan ramai. Huh, lain kali kena pegi time lunch lah.

Ben's ni ada entertainment card on its table. Tak try pulak. Lagi syok baca watsapp.

Frust lah jugak. Tapi nasib baik I came mentally prepared ie already decided on 2nd & third choice kalau habih benda alah tu. So I settled for Rocky Road cake. Nasib baik sedaaap. Kalau tidak, memang throw tantrum + meroyan cikkak preggy 6 bulan nih.

The cake was delicious, chocolatey & cool. Got some peanut butter layer & foundation.
Kita makan half je of the marshmallow tu.

For dinner, I had a morroccan lamb pie. Besar betul pie tuh. Emmm...lamb was spicey and exotic tasting cuma tak kena citarasa kut. Sedap la but something that I will not repeat. Hubby had a lamb rack. Katernya mcm tak berapa tasty so I did not bother merasa.


For me. Side salad was nice. Oh yes. Order gak salad for appetizer. Balsamic chicken something. Dah mkn baru tingat nak snap.



Hubby's

Oh well..takde rezeki makan toffee date pudding. Lain kali lah ye.

Perodua Race for A Cause - a 'family gathering' sort of

Yesterday some of us ran the race, some of us walk the race, some of us run/walk the race. Hehehe..When me & hubby went for this kind of event, it was usually just the 2 of us. Occasionally we would go together or meet up with hubby's niece, Sarah. Three is a crowd and so this time around, the crown got biggger woooohoo!
This time we were joined by most of Abg Tam's clan - Sarah (of course), Ucop, Usin, Te'Ah and Ucop's fiance Rock (nama manja yg keras gitu), also by Dec13 Kinabalu team - Yat, Bedeng & Acai. Since I planned to walk all the way, managed to use this excuse to 'brainwash' Zeti (Bedeng's mdm) into joining me for the walk as well. Kui..kui..kui..Kudos to Zeti and Ucop, first timer in any distance walking event. Usin, Te'Ah & Rock run/walked the 5KM. The rest, did the 15KM (clap..!) by run walking except Yat kut who ran all the way non-stop (clap..clap!). She finished in 1hr20mins (swoon...).

I've done this route, like, 3 times already..'yawn'

We braved the hazy day with face mask distributed by organizer. Thankfully the haze only got worse around 930-10am. Hubby arrived last...hehehe..almost 10am. Few minutes after he arrived, organizer already peeled of the detector mat for the running chip. arrr..ar..ar...Bagi peluang la...I was a bit worried jugak for him. Since he just got back from Rio (26 hrs flight u know! gasp..) and touched down 4pm Saturday. Jet lag nye..pukul 5 pagi dah kena bangun since we carpooled with Acai and met up with Yat/ Bedeng/Zeti at Masjid Sultan Mizan.
All in all, it was a very merry gathering. Kena buat lagi ni..and really looking fwd in future with me running pulak. Lambat lagi le tu..mau end of Q1 2014.

Top L-R : Ah, Rock, Te'Ah, Ucop, me, Yat, Zeti
Bottom L-R : Acai, Hubby, Usin, Bedeng (hmm..11 of us heh?)

Oh yes. Sangat gembira sebab suka tgk Zeti galok. Keh..keh..keh. Walker's high sat minah tu lepas we reached the finish point. Dah le dia tak tau dpt medal & cert. Siap tukar letak watsapp photo pakai gamabr finisher medal. Hmmm..reminds me of my earlier 'high' when I run the MCIS 5K fun run, was it last year? Ye laaa..mid last year.
