Many many months have passed since Abah's first diagnosed as having cancer. He went for the opeartion on the 22 May 2007 at Putra Jaya Hospital. It was long, tough journey for us as a family. He had his colon remover, about 21 cm of it and he also had his bladder cut. The cancer has spread to his bladder. Alhamdullilah, he doesn't have to wear any colostomy bag like many people do.
Update: 11 October 2007
16 weeks has lapsed since his operation. Now, he is undergoing chemotheraphy (in HKL) and radiotheraphy (in Gleneagles Ampang). But not without any problem actually. Initially, Abah decided not the have his chemo by injection but instead of by oral medication. He refused to stay in the ward. His radiotheraphy is for 5 weeks. To date, he has completed 4 weeks and 4 days of radiotherapy. Tommorrow would be his last day of radiotheraphy. Frankly, he is doing very well. No fever or infection, well except that he is suffering from cirit-birit. The doctor at Gleneagles made a remark that a lot of other people would not tahan the treatment. But Abah is ok.
The chemotheraphy also make him cirit-birit, loya & loss of appetite. Other than that, he is ok. Frankly I am very happy of his progress. Abah is not someone who can stand pain at all. In fact, all the time he is at my home, he would be whining, and whining and whining of sakit perut, tak ade selera and loya. But what can we do? We just listen and ask him to bersabar.
Another two days, then it would be raya. This raya, I am playing host to my family. Since Abah tak sihat lagi and could not go back to kampung, they would be spending the hari raya at my house. Which I am also happy coz I do not have to travel jauh-jauh. Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya. I will try to blog more.

Thursday, April 26, 2007
I was missing from this blogging activities fro almost two months. Not that I do not have the story to tell but I am just dead busy to go in. Day and night. Day - attending to work in the office, Night - attending to the children. Amir does not complete his MBA yet. He rarely at home, sigh..... I feel like a single parent, in fact I think I am a single parent for almost two years now.
Today, I am going to start a blog journey on Abah. Abah has cancer. We just find out on the 23rd April 2007. Abah has been complaining that he has difficulty to pass motion. May be for the last six months or so. But the last two months were terrible. I asked him to come here for check up. He finally did come for check up. We did a test (ultra sound & x-ray)in SMC but couldn't find anything significant except he has a gallstone in the gallbladder. Other than that he is ok. The Dr wanted him to go for scope (kolonscopy). He refused but he promised to come back later. He did come back to do the scope but only after one month lapse from the first check up.
Before the procedure, he was asked to cleanse the kolon first by fasting and drinking the "fleet". The next morning, Abah, mak and I went to SMC to do the scope. Abah was asked to change his cloth while we waited outside. The procedure took almost two hours. While waiting, Mak and I went shopping at Tesco. I know Mak worried about Abah. After we had lunch, we went straight to SMC. Abah had completed the procedure, so we waited outside for him to change to his clothes back. He went down with Mak by the elevator while Dr Zainal requested me to walk with him through the staircase. I knew there's something terribly wrong. Mak also suspected it too. So Dr Zainal informed me that he found a tumor in Abah's colon and it is blocking the passage. Worst thing is that the tumor is suspected to be cancerous.

About Bibik lagi.
Yesterday night, we brought to see the doctor again. This time to check whether the prescribed pills suit her or not. Well, guess what her BP is 170/xx (can't remember what was the lower part reading) so doctor increase her dose to 150 mg per day. She has to take the pills three times a day. We showed doctor her pills from Indon (her son send it over the postal), but she needs to confirm the active ingredient first in her reference book. This morning, doctor called me and said that the pills is normally prescribed as anti-pyschotic pill to those who has mental illness and also to reduce the blood pressure for hypertension. Ayo, macam nak pitam dengar. She asked me to look sign for depressed, murung or anything that associate to depression. Called Amir immediately after that. Frankly, we just couldn't believe what we heard. I asked Amir whether we are willing to put lives of our children with someone like that.Sigh... God, help me.
On CMMI pulak:
We had our 2nd Taskforce meeting. We are getting desperate now. Things are so complacent with the status quo. We are not moving as fast as we should be. The EPG Lead was blaming the Poject Manager for not performing, not doing things that they need to do. Frankly, I did not agree with him. First of all, the EPG itself never had any meeting to monitor the implementation and the effectiveness. End of argument!! Don't blame anybody else. Period!!

Chinese New Year Weekend - On Saturday, dinner at mak's. Nothing much happened there. Since the kids no longer spend their spent there during the weekdays, I tried to make a point, they get to spend at least once a week at their grandparents' house. Nasib baik ada anak menantu yang baik nih!!, if harapkan Amir....alamatnya Sarah tak kenal Opah & Atuk.
Sunday, went to the Zoo with Fairuz & Ita. Fairuz brought along Anis & Aina. Ita with Aiman. The kids really enjoyed themselves. The mommies... I don't know. I lose my voice because of the sore throat, after the trip, I could not talked at all. Anyway, there's a lion dance show at the zoo at 2.00 pm. The kids were excited with the lion dance so of we went to watch them. As we were approaching the lion, suddenly one of the lion dancers ran towards Izzaty who was in her stroller. He pushed Izzaty towards the drum. I was running to get her back. Mata dia dah bulat of shock! Semua orang gelak. Anyway, while this thing happened, no one in our group realised it. I have to tell them what happened. Anyway, Izzaty claimed dia tak takut pun.
Photo - will be posted later.
Here photos of Aisyah, Izzaty & Sarah. Looking at the photos, there's no doubt they are sibling. All of them look like the father!!

Most of the memorable event have been taken by another event and yet I am still struggling to find time to update my blog. Today, it is so happened Sarah is still napping and I have done with the cooking an all.
My birthday was on 8th February, yes dah lepas, way way lepas. As usual, my dentist is the first one to wish me Happy Birthday. Without fail, every year!! Showed the sms to Amir, Ala... dia guna system!.. Well, at least he remembers to key in the date into the system. Now, all the tools dah ada!! HP, PDA or computer. Semua ada facility to remember important dates.
Anyway, went to the office, most of my friends wished me Happy Birthday. Arnifa gave birth to her lastest Powerpuff Girl at Annur, 3.40 am. Same birthday with me!!
That night, Aisyah and Izzaty wished me Happy Birthday after a special request made to Amir to tell the childen that it was my birthday. Received hugs and kisses from them.
Went to sleep, only to be waken up at 1.00 am. Amir baru masuk tidur. I told him, he still haven't wished me Happy Birthday. With a closed eyes, he wished Happy Bithday. When I asked him, what time it was. 1.30 am. I said, it's belated now.....
If he is in the running for the most unromantic, unappreciated, indifferent husband, he probably won by a landslide win!! Sigh.....

Aisyah & Izzaty Coloring Contest
Bawak Aisyah & Izzaty pegi Coloring Contest at Aisyah's tuition center. I only registered Aisyah only. While I was busy talking to Shaz and Anita on one program called Genius Gym, Aisyah melayan Izzaty. Later, I tengok, Izzaty dah duduk sebelah kakak dia, buat coloring. Dia pun masuk jugak. Teacher bagi dia color gambar buah. Segala jenis color ada, buah tembikai ada color purple and hitam. Mula-mula dia color dengan penuh semangat. Lama-lama muka dia semacam aje. I asked her, dah siap ke? she said dah. Dia nak hantar kat teacher. Tak siap lagi pun but I kata oklah, boleh hantar. I asked Aisyah to complete the coloring while I went with Izzaty kat bilik sebelah to eat. Then Izzaty kata dia nak sambung coloring lagi, so of we went to get the picture back. It went on like that 3 kali, finally, I sat down beside Izzaty, tolong habiskan coloring dia.
Both of them did not win anything but dapat goodie bags. Ambil sorang-sorang ambik goodie bag tu. Izzaty's face light up coz she thought she won something when teacher called up her name. Tak sempat nak ambik gambar pun.
Muka budak yang dah boring!!

Izzaty's Playgroup
Send Izzaty to her playgroup at 11.30 am. She really enjoyed the session but a bit shy when teacher Rahmah asked for her name. She really enjoyed the craft session. Habis comot, yang comot Ummi dia sebenarnya. After the session, there's cake and drink. I guess she was hungry, she ate three pieces which were quite big.
Since I have many things to do today, I have to log off dulu.
