Am I Pregnant....

For the past two days, Umi tak masuk office, attended Bengkel 5S. Tak jauh cuma di Pejabat Besar aje tapi masa terlalu padat dan tak sempat nak balik office. Bukan nak cerita pasal Bengkel tapi nak cerita pasal a few friends....

"Eh, akak pregnant ke?" sapaan one of my friends dari Pejabat Besar, Aish*h.

Do i looked like pregnant. Actually, Umi planned tak nak ada baby lagi since our forth baby born.

"Tak, kenapa? Nampak macam akak pregnant ke?"

Bila Umi jawab dan tanya macam tu, dia kata "Taklah.. Saje tanya".

Ya, memang tak dinafikan. My stomach nampak slightly macam pregnant la. Umi memang noticed that. Perasaan... malu ada, segan pun ada. Yelah tak pregnant tapi nampak macam pregnant.

Umi dah beli pun corset. Masa pakai tu kena dapat bantuan my daughter coz tak boleh masuk. Ketat sangat ke? Usual size siap ukur lagi. Bila sampai office, belum pun sempat lunch. Umi dah termengah-mengah, tak boleh bernafas. Minta tolong an officemate bukakan. Since that day, Umi tak pakai lagi corset tu, menanti untuk frame jadi barangan antik aje sekarang. Walid tak tahu, Umi beli tu berapa harga, if not panjang berjela leteran dia.

Tapi kalau betul Umi pregnant macamana.... Masa pregnancy check-up my fifth baby, Dr kata pregnant and when i told her, tak mahu baby lagi. Dr terus buat surat, reffered me to Klinik Pakar Raz*f & Nor*n*. The next day, early in the morning, Umi sampai Klinik Pakar Raz*f & Nor*n* for D&C. Dr. Raz*f tanya "Betul ke you nak buat D&C, dah ada denyutan nadi ni?. Bila Dr kata macam tu terus tak jadi. Itu 4 years ago....

Then, my sixth baby. Lagi kelakar.... Betul my stommy makin membesar, tapi Umi tak rasa apa-apa plus Umi minum macam-macam jamu for proctection. In fact dah janji dengan Walid... If Umi pregnant lagi, I would do D&C segera, tak mahu tunggu even for a week. This time, Umi masih breast-feed my fifth baby. Masa tu Danish baru 1 year 9 months. Walid yang risau, katanya my stommy lain macam aje. Umi beli macam-macam cream, sapu and sapu and sapu and sapu. Umi makan macam-macam ubat pelawas tapi tak berkesan. At last, Walid insisted Umi to go for a check-up. Bimbang mana tau ada penyakit lain pulak. Dr. Al*za yang buat check-up pun tergelak besar. Excitedly dia kata "Eh, ada orang la dalam perut you!!". Umi macam terperanjat, apa Dr cakap. Masa Umi terpingga-pingga tu dia kata "Sah, you pregnant". Masa tu Umi dah 4 1/2 months pregnant. Two weeks before that, Umi dah jumpa Dr. Al*za, macam-macam ubat pelawas dia bagi memang tak suspect langsung Umi pregnant. Alhamdullilah.. sihat anak-anak Umi.

Dari my first baby yang sekarang dah 16 years old sampailah my sixth baby yang baru 15 months, Umi tak pernah ada alahan apa-apa, no vommiting, no dizziness, no anything... mungkin itu jugaklah Allah anugerahkan dengan 6 orang cahayamata. Penat tu adatlah... Sekarang kakak dan Abang dah boleh bantu.

Takut dah nak buat check-up lagi and I really hope I'm not pregnant this time.......

Danish.... An up-date

After my last posting, tak sempat nak up-date on Danish buang epal. The story goes macam ni actually...... as told by Darwis - the witness.

Semasa Danish makan epal tu, dia buang kulit epal dari mulut dia coz epal tu masih berkulit. Masa dia ambil epal dari peti ais, Umi minta nak kupaskan dia tak mahu so biarkan ajelah coz nak masak cepat untuk berbuka. Reached home around 6.00 pm that day.

Masa Danish buang kulit epal tu, Mamat tu kata dia meludah... Danish pulak type yang kena cakap elok-elok, puji-puji dulu baru dia dengar cakap so bila Mamat tu cakap "Apa ludah-ludah ni???" sambil tunjuk tangan ke atas. Dia bengang then terus dia baling epal tu.

Memang he's rude buat olders macam tu and he got punishment for that tapi Umi still thinks the Mamat should be more polite tak payahlah bawa kayu tu.

Poor Little Danish...

Danish... my fifth child. He's turning 4 this coming October. Perangai dia yang Umi tak tahan until yesterday was 'buang barang ke bawah bila dia marah'. We are living in a 7 storey apartments so bayangkan kalau dia buang apa-apa. His elder brother / sister yang kena turun bawah dan dapatkan things yang dibuang.

Ceritanya macam ni.....

Semalam, masa Umi tengah masak for dinner / berbuka (kakak puasa), Danish & his elder brother Darwis main-main kat Verandah, looking for his eldest brother balik dari sekolah. From the verandah, boleh nampak my eldest's son school. Masa main-main tu, Danish tengah makan sebiji epal. Bila Umi nak potong, dia tak mahu so tak kisahlah.

After a while, Darwis masuk dan bagitau Danish dah buang epal kena kereta orang. What???? Nanti dia, Umi mula membebel. Oleh sebab tengah panaskan minyak, Umi kena cool down dulu then siap dia. Umi pulak seorang ibu yang kurang sabar, kena pulak Walid tak ada if not Walid saje yang settle kan.

Belum sempat Umi terkam Danish... Someone was knocking on the door.

Bila pintu dibuka ..... ada seorang lelaki dengan sebiji epal di tangan kiri dan sebatang kayu di tangan kanan.
Mak.... berderau darah Umi ketika itu... apa nak buat, Walid tak ada....

Someone : Kakak, tengok ni buah epal, anak akak baling kena kereta saya.

Umi : Ye ke... Sorrylah akak tak tahu.

Someone : Akak tengok sikit anak akak tu, dia ludahnya saya.

Umi : Akak minta maaf la... anak akak yang kecik tu ke?? Yang pakai baju hijau?
(Masa tu danish pakai baju hijau).

Someone : Ye lah... yang tu lah.

Umi : Akak minta maaf ya.


Umi tak berlengah lagi terus ke Verandah dan beat his mouth dengan tangan. Felt frustrated sangat. Kecewa dengan that someone sebab my poor little Danish only 3 years ++ tapi dia datang dengan sebatang kayu as if Umi atau Walid yang buat. Kecewa dengan my little son sebab dah banyak kali cakap dan bagitau tapi buat jugak buang barang ke bawah. Umi dan Walid nak berkeras sangat pun, he's only 3. Biasanya kalau Danish main-main kat Verandah, he will be supervised oleh Umi, Walid, Kakak atau Abang. Tapi semalam, Umi sibuk masak, Walid keluar, Kakak jaga baby dan Abang belum balik sekolah. Lanjutan dari beating him kat mulut, mulut dia dah luka berdarah. Rasanya Umi pukul tadi tak kuat sangat tapi mungkin tengah marah, tak perasan. Kesian Danish, my poor little baby Gippent (We used to call him 'Baby Gippend' which means baby elephant - dah ada adik tapi mengada-ngada lebih).

Till this morning, Umi tengok Danish sedih aje and he refused to talk to me......

Antara Gaharu dan Vanilla....

Last saturday, me & my friend berkesempatan menghadiri kursus pendek untuk penanaman gaharu. Pulangannya memang bagus, boleh jadi jutawan tapi you have to wait for 15 years....... By that time, of course Umi pun dah tue... entah..entah dah tak larat dah dan entah ada, entah tidak...

Then, kami tengok-tengok lagi... nampak pulak vanilla... kalau vanilla tak payah tunggu 15 years. After 3 years dah boleh dapat hasil tapi tak de le jadi jutawan. Rasanya dapat lah bantu keluarga sikit-sikit.. bila dah dapat hasil nanti. Katanya first harvest dah boleh cover modal yang keluar.

Well, masih lagi berfikir... Gaharu ke, Vanilla ke.... Entahlah.......
