Hari-hari berperang

Secara jujurnya, I tak pernah ada pengalaman bantuan menjaga the boys alone...selama ada anak nie, segalanya dengan pertolongan maid. I start ada maid since nak melahirkan Danish the Menace, after 3 months, kena cari pengganti lain sehingglah Ryan the Lion ada, still ada maid. And now, Im maidless and I kena ambil alih tugas apa yang sepatutnya seorang ibu sepatutnya lakukan untuk keluarga. And believe me, its a tough job, ever.

Selama 2 bulan menguruskan anak-anak, then I baru faham perasaan seorang Ibu yang tidak bekerja, mana nak uruskan anak, memasak, kemas rumah and then buat all the housechores yang bermacam-macam lagilah. Before this, after 7 pm, sampai rumah from office, just belek-belek anak, then dalam pukul 11 malam dah tido. Tapi sekarang 24/7 masa dengan keluarga. I think Im used to it now and Im kinda like it..membesarkan anak-anak, with my own hands and kudrat.

As for Danish the Menace, he already started his kindie and somewhere in July nak masuk primary school dah. Terasa cepat masa berlalu, and sedar-sedar, I dah ada anak bujang. Here, his appetite mcm bertambah-tambah, sentiasa nak makan atau mengunyah. Tak kisah makan aper, nugget or biscuit. Tapi, his favourite lauk is kari atau kurma. Kalau boleh, hari-hari die nak makan lauk yang sama.

But, this is the cabaran yang paling besar...membesarkan Ryan the Lion yang sedang nakal...yer, die semakin nakal setiap hari. Ada aja akalnya, memanjat, melompat, memunggah antara aktiviti hariannya di sini. Nak bagi die diam, pasangkan aje CD Upin&Ipin ataupun Thomas The Tank Engine, die akan diam sekejap la...lepas tu bila dah bosan, mulalah buat perangai balik.

Ryan the Lion mmg aktif..kalau nak berehat pun, tunggu la die tido waktu siang, tapi selalunya tak lama, dalam 10 minit aje itupun kalau tak ada gangguan like bunyi siren ambulans dari jalan depn rumah. Tapi yang bestnya, tido malam cepat. And since sampai di sini, he already stopped breastfeed. Alhamdulillah, both boys I sempat susukan sampai mereka berumur 1 1/2 setengah.

Rumah akan sentiasa bersepah-sepah dengan toys, sampaikan I malas nak kemas. Kalau tiba-tiba orang datang rumah, mmg kena macam lipas kudung la mengemasnya.

Nie yang ditunggu bila hari Sabtu

Setiap hari Sabtu, Daddy Jack akan keluar pegi beli newspaper seawal pukul 7 pagi. Normally paper hari Sabtu nie agak tebal sikitlah. Konsep lebih kurang sama macam The Star.

Memula nak tengok weather dulu. Cuaca kat dalam suratkhabar nie biasanya agak tepatlah so kalau-kalau nak basuh kain ker atau nak basah apa-apa pun, kena tgk ramalan cuaca dulu. Kalau okay, baru basuh, kalau tak tunggulah hari yang okay sikit.

We all tak sempat nak buat inspection kat rumah-rumah sewa di section nie sebabnya we all dapat rumah sewa thru Ayu, jiran sebelah rumah nie. Pada those yang buat inspection rumah, mmg penat la nak buat inspection, then nak kena sediakan macam-macam documents dan lain-lain lagi.

Ada jugak page untuk attraction dalam minggu tu, normally on weekends la like Car Boot Sale, Sunday Market dll lagi. So far, we all macam dah jemu jugaklah pegi CarBoot Sale nie. Tunggu sesiapa family atau saudara mara from Malaysia yang datang sini, then baru nak pegi la.

All info ada dalam this newspaper, even waktu ketibaan pengangkutan like airlines and trains pun ada dalam nie.

Even bank darah pun ada buat notis nakkan bekalan darah. Siap ada carta mana satu darah yang cukup supply atau tak.

As for me, bila Daddy Jack beli newspaper, I will ambik this section...Garage Sales, See the colourful section ? Tu yang highlightkan, mana untuk hari Sabtu dan mana untuk Ahad...Giler, kan. Sekarang nie, kalau garage sales, we all pergi yang dekat-dekat ngan rumah aje, kalau yang jauh-jauh tu tak payah la, mcm membuang masa aje.

Tertanam untuk 3 tahun

Pagi semalam bergegas ke Women's and Children's Hospital sebabnya ada appoinment dalam pukul 11 pagi. Kali nie, I'm all alone sebabnya Daddy Jack just dopped me off, then he have to ambik Danish from kindie, lagipun Ryan the Lion tak sihat, selsema, takut berjangkit pulak. Sini, kalau kiter ada selsema atau batuk, tak dibenarkan berada di tempat awam, kena duduk rumah sampai kiter sihat. Mat salleh mmg takut betul dengan selsema nie.

Khamis adalah hari untuk orang-orang luar, like not permenant residents. So, kalau mana-mana wanita warga asing yang mengandung atau nak jumpa doktor, hanya satu hari aje diperuntukkan untuk mereka. I tak perlu tunggu lama-lama, dalam 15 minit, dah kena masuk jumpa doktor dah.

This is my doctor, Dr. Schnell. Baik orangnya, teringat kat my gynae at Ampang Puteri, Dr Marlik Abu..lebih kurang sama aje lembutnya. Dr Schnell even give me a brief about the things yang I decided to do nie and I fully understood.

And for those yang tertanya-tanya, kenapa I kena buat blood test apa semua, I'M NOT PREGNANT (pandai aje my student buat speculations yer..heheheh) but I've to take a precautions on it which is contraceptive or pencegah kehamilan. Last week, masa I mula-mula buat appoinment, we already discussed it with Dr Schnell. At first, I nak ambik shot for about 3 months, like ambik masa kat APSH dulu tapi bila pikir-pikir balik, malasnya nak ulang-alik ke hospital semata-mata nak ambik shot tu. A few friends here suggest ambik pil aje, senang cerita tapi masalah bagi I sebabnya kalau terlupa, lagi haru...so after discuss, we all agreed untuk ambik IMPLANON sebabnya senang, tak payah risau-risau sebabnya ianya tahan untuk 3 tahun and believe it or not, IT'S FREE !!!! YES, I pun tak percaya, sampaikan tanya Dr Schnell sampai 2 kali, dan jawapannya masih sama. Rasanya kalau kat Malaysia, harganya sampai RM600.

Dr Schnell ada juga ckp the side effect gunakan IMPLANON nie like maybe my period will be terganggu sedikit but tak lama, and I dont have to worry about that. Perkara pertama yang I tanya..adakah akan menambahkan berat badan..the answer is NO !!!!

At first, Dr just pun mcm ubat bius sikit agar tempat nak masukkan the IMPLANON tu taklah sakit sangat.

After dah rasa macam kebas-kebas sikit, the Dr put ubat apa tak, sejuk sangat.

The IMPLANON which issingle, flexible sub-dermal implant 4cm x 2mm yang akan dimasukkan ke dalam lengan ku.

Ouchhhh !!!!

Kat situlah tertanamnya IMPLANON ku

Ngeri pun ada jugak, tapi tahan ajelah

The process last about a minutes aje, after that the nurse pun on some band age, so settle semuanya.

So, here is my IMPLANON card, so kalau nak bukak, just bawak aje kad nie. Cukuplah 3 tahun we all kat sini. Takutlah weiiii...kang laki balik bawah balik PHD, bini bawak balik anak Made in Aussie...eiii takutlah. I think I have enough kids, cukuplah 2 hero, tak rasa terkilan tak ada anak perempuan. Biarlah my sisters yang sambung pulak.

Jatuh Cinta

I know that Im not a teenager anymore, and supposed I tak perlulah nak berlagak untuk menjadi remaja semula but I couldn't help myself to really into this tv series...GOSSIP GIRLS.

Masa zaman remaja dulu, I always love Beverly Hills 90210, kadang-kadang Ibu marah I tengok cerita-cerita mcm tu...heheheh. But this series is different. Maybe because Im a lecturer, and I need to be part of my students.

I like all the characters. They have their own styles, Kalau bab fashion, jangan cakaplah,,so superb and the hairdo and also the make up...so in 2 it.

So semalam, end of season 3 here in Adelaide. What a sad/boring/suprised ending. Tak sabar nak tunggu for season 4 somewhere in September 2010.

Sudah buat blood test

Seperti yang disuruh oleh Doktor, blood test perlu dibuat samada Isnin atau Selasa, nak tak nak kena jugak buat...for what reason..hmmm rahsia la.... I did all this at Women and Children's Hospital in Adelaide nie. Proses ambik darah dilakukan hanya dalam masa 10 minit sahaja. Even Daddy Jack and the kids tunggu aje dalam kereta sebab susah nak parking, then I just on my own.

The staff yang ambik darah I...lawa orangnya. Kalaulah lawa-lawa macam nie kat Malaysia, sure ramai orang nak masuk hospital, kan..hehehehe.

3 tiub darah I kena ambik...lepas tu rasa agak pening-pening sikit sebabnya terlupa nak makan sebelum pergi ambik darah tu...Later I will reveal kenapa dan mengapa I kena buat blood test yer.

Parcel ke-2

Alhamdulillah, setelah 2 hari stranded di Singapore, akhirnya sampai jugak parcel from my family. Bukannya apa, Danish the Menace yang tak sabar-sabar nak tunggu parcel nie. Hari-hari tanya, bila nak sampai ?

Sebabnya, pasal benda nie la...jam BEN10 yang dikirim from sana. Kebetulan pulak, Ibu ada kirimkan baju tidur for both kids, tu yang die lagi excited. Bila dah sampai, siap cakap ngan Ibu, kenapa hantar baju tidur aje, tak hantar baju untuk pakai siang sekali...macam-macam la Danish nie.

I pulak minta tolong kirimkan a fews barang-barang spices, maklumlah kat sini tak ada antaranya Perencah Sup, sup bunjut, serbuk cili (kat sini punya pedas la....), tepung goreng ayam (ada tepung Kentucky kat sini tapi tak berapa sedap) dan juga udang kering. I juga minta kirimkan ikan bilis tapi my sister cakap tak berapa cantik sangat, so maybe later akan hantar lagi. Tawakal ajelah barang-barang nie lepas kat kastam, so Alhamdulillah, semuanya lepas.

Nie pun dibeli from Malaysia, LabelMaker. Sini, all barang-barang kelengkapan anak ke sekolah kena labelkan takut tersilap atau terambil anak orang lain punya. Dah check kat sini, mahal sikit from Malaysia. Rasa rugi before pergi hari tu tak beli siap-siap so dah ada satu, so senang la sikit nak melabelkan apa-apa yang patut.

Blood Test

Aduh...kena buat blood test pulak...hmmm....

Siapa kata senang ?

I never thought that satu hari I kena menjadi surirumah tangga sepenuh masa. Well, maybe bila dah pencen itu lain cerita tapi bila dengar atau baca blog, ada yang minta pendapat untuk berhenti kerja and jadi suri rumahtangga sepenuh masa, dalam hati berkata.."senang ker jadi suri rumahtangga?"

I never had an experience on being a housewife. Yes !!! Believe it...kahwin dah 6 tahun, tinggal dengan parents, sehinggalah nak berangkat ke Adelaide nie. I Before this, all the housechores diuruskan oleh maid, even before I kahwin. Ada jugaklah buat kerja rumah sikit-sikit tapi most of it maid yang handle. Lepas kahwin, Daddy Jack ajak ikut duduk rumah inlaws, and still all the hal rumah diuruskan oleh mak mentua. Lepas lahirkan Danish the Menace, barulah ambik maid sendiri...but still tinggal dengan family.

Dengan kuasa Allah, untuk menduga kami, ditakdirkan Daddy Jack sambung PHD ke Adelaide, South Australia and suddenly all our life is CHANGE and I have to become a full time housewife for 3 years.

My life start at about 630 am ( kalau waktu Malaysia dalam pukul 4 lebih rasanya) for Subuh then after that just kemaskan all the mess like cleaning up kitchen dsbnya. Dalam pukul 7 (around 5 something, M'sia time), both kids dah bangun and luar pun dah terang sikit and I have to prepare the breakfast. Tak tentu jugak, but I have to cook something heavy untuk Daddy Jack bawa bekal ke Uni. As for the kids, cukup sekadar pancake ataupun roti bakar sahaja. After Daddy Jack left to Uni, kalau cuaca elok, basuh kain and so some housechores...bila dah tengahari sikit, nak masak lunch pulak. Sambil-sambil tu nak mandikan the boys, siapkan mereka and bla, bla. For the kids, pasang TV atau DVD and they all will layan sampailah time luch. Tengahari nak menjelang ke petang, kalau ada berkesempatan will online, tgk FB or blog, or maybe just read some online news. Kalau berkesempatan dalam pukul 1pm, layan kejaplah Oprah kat Channel Ten. Sementara nak tunggu Daddy Jack balik from Uni dalam pukul 5pm, lepak jugaklah ngan the boys sambil melayan cerita DVD mereka tu, if not, ajak the boys lepak ngan my neighbour. After Daddy Jack balik, then will prepare the dinner and Daddy Jack will help me on cleaning the mess. Pukul 6pm, normally layan berita then will tidorkan the boys. Normally, the boys tido pukul 7-730 or malam (kira-kira pukul 5 petang waktu Malaysia). After the boys tido, then barulah I can have my moments which is update my blog or just buka FB. If not, bila the kids tido, I pun tido sekali..

Bila dah sebulan macam nie, baru tahu, susah jugak jadi suri rumah nie. Thanks to Ibu cos mengajar I bagaimana nak uruskan rumahtangga especially bab masak-masak nie. Kalau nak cuba resepi baru, I refer to blog jiran sebelah rumah aje.

Tapi kan, I believe that as a women, we will never stop working

Akhirnya...kita mengalah

Pembantu rumah Indonesia wajib diberi cuti, pegang pasport

PUTRAJAYA 18 Mei - Semua majikan diwajibkan memberikan cuti sehari seminggu kepada pembantu rumah warga Indonesia selain membenarkan mereka memegang pasport masing-masing.

Perkara itu dicapai melalui perjanjian persefahaman yang ditandatangani hasil rundingan tahunan dua hala antara Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dan Presiden Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono di sini hari ini. - Utusan

Lepas nie akan ramai la pembantu-pembantu rumah yang akan ada boyfriends, telefon tak lepas kat tangan bila bekerja...dan hari khamis dah mula panas punggung bila boyfriends asyik telefon untuk mengajak keluar untuk memadu asmara...bila pembantu lari, ikut kekasih hati, siapa yang rugi beribu-ribu...majikan jugak.
