I have subscribed to streamyx a few weeks ago. Mula-mula memang rasa nak marah coz banyak sangat problem to access to the network with my laptop. Mintak tolong dengan agent yang set up the modem etc but he said that would be chargeable. Tak payahlah. Finally Amir buat sendiri. Memang seronok compared to dial up. I can read email much faster, access to my blog page much faster. Yang seronoknya can send photo, upload photo with ease. The only constraint is I have to be near to the modem and berebut dengan Amir to access the internet. Last week, Amir beli wireless router. Now, I am so mobile. Boleh access to internet di mana sudut rumah. Last Sunday, Amir jemput Bob and Din datang rumah untuk secure the network. Bibik masak sambal tempe, goreng ikan tenggiri, sayur tauge, ulam-ulam with budu. Berselera betul dia orang makan.

Anyway, back to my streamyx experience. Kalau nampak banyak posting in my blog ni adalah kerana I can access to my blog much easily. Sambil tunggu Sarah, boleh blog. Then petang tadi dapat sms from Celcom to campaign and introduce Family and Friends to streamyx. Dapat hadiah. Well, bukan tak mahu tapi malu sebenarnya. I am lucky because Amir and I tahu pasal computer and internet and what-not. Boleh mintak tolong dengan friends (free lagi) if ada problem.

2 Jan 2007:

I have written quite a long posting regarding my friends and my streamyx experience, unfortunately was unable to save it when the 7.1 magnitude earth quake struck Taiwan. Internet connectivity was downed and there goes my posting!!

Photos of Sarah. From birth until nak cukur rambut. Latest gambar belum ada lagi. Now, sibuk dgn problem bibik.

Today Sarah cukur rambut. Tak ubah macam Amir. All my daugthers look like the father. Anyway, the photo later.

Bibik already started her training to handle Sarah. FENIN! FENIN! She is so lembab,just do everything without thinking, need to told everything and lupa segala benda. I got annoyed with her. Finally, I snapped!! Mulalah sedih and menangis. Aduh!! I have enough of these nonsense. I already paid so much to bring her in, nak menangis pulak. Petang tu mulalah pening. Mata bengkak sampai malam.

The next day, we bring her to see doctor to check on her darah tinggi. She has been complaining sakit kepala and gastrik. Her BP is 200/106. Doctor advised her to be warded. Aduh, FENIN. I have to membela my own maid pulak ni. I said to the doctor, we want ubat aje, we couldn't afford to sent her to the hospital. Serik betullah ambik orang macam ni. I never want her originally. Amir insisted to take her. Now we have to tanggung maid punya treatment and medication.

Bibik still pening even after makan ubat tu. The doctor already warned her that the headache will continue until she finish up all the pill. Next week, there will be another check up.

I dah bising dengan Amir that we have paid so much for her already. Amir nak suruh dia rehat, tak payah buat kerja berat. Yelah tu, I paid so much money for the maid to have a vacation in Malaysia!! Whatever it is, I wont let her dukung Sarah. Manalah tau, tiba-tiba pengsan pulak. Yang susah siapa?! Geram betul rasanya.

More stories on Sarah, after a week, she had jaundice which is quite high. Dr Zul recommended her to be warded but he also gave another option. Rent the phototheraphy equipment at home. I said to Amir, I don't want to be warded as I was still not feeling very well. I needed urut and makan minum kena jaga. Who's going to take care of me while I took care of Sarah? So, we called the number given by Dr Zul and the equipment was delivered to the home that afternoon.

Sarah tidur menonggeng under the light. She cried her hearts out bila tutup mata dia. Finally, terpaksa guna filter saje. Kejap-kejap, she disappeared under the filter, I have to tarik her keluar. Her body is so small, she could menyorok bawah filter tu.

Ini Sarah, a few minute after the birth. Muka kakak # 1, mata kakak # 2.

The name, Amir yang pilih. I did not have the chance to name her. I guess he already knew that I was carrying a girl. Anyway, Amir did not register the name for almost two weeks from the birth, coz he wanted it to be spelt Mysara. I said to him, our daugther is not MyKad, I wanted the name to be spelt Maisarah. Mentang-mentang dia drive MyV. Then dia tak nak letak Amira, I said to him, later if Sarah tanya kenapa nama dia tak ade Amira like the sisters, apa nak jawap. At last Amir kata, he wanted to change the name to something else. But I already fell in love with the name. Everybody else dah panggil dia Sarah. So, finally after almost two weeks and much persuasion and endorsement from mak & abah, mak & ayah, it is Amira Maisarah.

I have delivered a beatiful baby girl - Maisarah on 14th November 2006. Sarah for short. It was the most traumatic birth experience ever for me. I already had two but this one was beyond my word to describe it. Even, my first one is bearable, eventhough I had to endure more than 12 hours of pain and discomfort.

It was an induced labor. I could hardly walk properly. I was already on leave since after hari raya. That Friday, Dr Siti advised me to check in to the ward on Monday as she had detected two strong contractions within half an hour. I was willingly to be induced as the final weeks was too tiring for me already. I could hardly sleep at night anymore.

I was put on the medication at 8.30 am. Had my first real contraction at 9.00 am and it went on and on until 7.30 pm. That was the time I asked for pain killer. My first pain killer. I never had any during my first two except the gas in the labor room. Kuat tak? So the contraction at 5 min apart went on and on, then the 1 min apart also went on and on. I was checked by the nurse every hour, itu yang tak larat sekali tu. By 11.30 pm, I was only dilating 3 cm. Ayo... memang boleh mati mcm ni. Well of courselah I tak mati. 12 pm or so, Dr Siti asked me to go to the labor room. Guess what after she checked on me, she said may be not yet, I have to back to the ward. False Alarm.

But 12.00 pm onward, I was in so much pain that I asked for another pain killer!!! Amir was with me all the time. He was also in pain everytime I had my contraction. He was holding my hand, well I held his hand actually. So every times there's a contraction, I would squeeze his hand and yet he never complaint or cried out loud that I had squeeze his hand too hard. After I delivered, barulah tanya dia sakit ke and he said yes. Sorry dear but nothing really compared to what I experienced.

12.30 am, I was wheeled into the labor room AGAIN! This time for real, I was in so much pain that I could not open my eyes on my way to the labor room pun. Dr Siti was no where in the labor room, obviously she's still at home. The labor was not that long, by 1 am I already felt the baby was coming out. I was screaming asking where's the doctor. My water broke. Then I saw Dr Siti, she hardly have time to put on the plastic apfron on her, I was already pushing the baby. At that time, tak kiralah, doctor sempat ke tidak to sambut the baby. I just wanted her to be out!! Suddenly, Amir kata baby dah keluar. Sarah was delivered at 1.58 am. Everything else after that is a bit blur. The placenta was out not long after that. I then realized that my legs was not on the stirrup, I do not know how much damage I had done to the "down there" but I might have done considerably damage to it.

Anyway, I was wheeled to my ward with Sarah on my side. Sarah was put in the nursery. I could hardly sleep after that though I tried. Amir obviously very tired. Dia tidur dengan lenanya, dengan berdengkur lagi on the extra bed that we requested.

The next morning, Dr Siti came to check on me.

Dr: You cepat betul pagi tadi, I bawak kereta macam in Formula 1!!

well, apa nak buat, my baby dah nak keluar sgt!!
