*tick*tock*tick*tock*

Obgyn : Datuk Dr. As*har Abdulla*h
Location : Ampan*g Pute*ri Specialist Hospy
Date of checkup : 10th Dec 2008
Weeks of pregnancy : 40 weeks
Body weight : 64 kg

i gained 1.5kg in a week! *ketawa guling-guling*. oh well, i know most of the weight pun air..anyway, i couldn't help myself but chuckled when i saw the weight machine semalam...gilala..tak pernah cecah 60kg even masa zaman kegemukanku dulu...paling berat pun dalam 56-57 kg je.. :-P

anyway...my baby's weight is now 3.1 kg. beratkan? well, its an estimation je la..could be less than that. besar-besar nnt seksa nak bersalin nanti...isk isk isk..

like previous entries, no pix this time..bukan taknak amik but seriously tak nampak apa pun these days...the images on the scan blurry je memanjang...kalau nampak pun, its the bone structure like the femur and tulang belakang..

anyway, my Dr asked if i'm sure with my dates and i answered, i'm pretty sure...kalau lari pun dalam dua tiga hari jer...hearng this, Dr As*har bgtau that if by 17th (which is my next checkup day) i still haven't delivered, kena masuk hospy already...

sama ada kena induced atau tidak, bergantung pada keadaan...but he told me to sediakan my hospital stuff siap-siap...kalau ikut date, my due is the 7th and if ikut ultrascan its the 20th. plus u have the 2 weeks window thingy tu...kira i'm still ok lagi...

you see, apart from the normal pain mcam backache, perut keras sekali-sekala, my lower bump rasa cam sengugut sometimes and ngilu sikit-sikit, i still takde the big indication yg nak bersalin...mmg la bawa perut ni susah...

gosh, i feel like a penguin everytime berjalan...gila berat and besar perut ni...*sigh* but still, bearable...

setiap kali i tak selesa, or sakit sikit fitri would be asking : "Dah? Nak bersalin dah?"

i find it cute coz he's so alert and really tak sabar for the baby... :-) sikit hari je lagi....hope the baby boleh tunggu abah dia balik so that fitri sempat tengok!

since my Dr bagi mc sehari je samalam (i ingat semingu coz i did asked seminggu tapi i guess dia lupa/serabut), i akan kerja esok...hahaha...gila kan? tapi nak buat mcmana...i ni malas nak gi jumpa hari-hari and minta cuti...biarkan je la...sakit je, terus minta somebody from the office hantar ke hospy...

gosh, it could be anytime soon! seriously! so, peeps, tak lama lagi you guys are going to be uncles, aunties! :-)

doa-doa semua selamat and berjlan lancar...

tanah runtuh 3

From TheStar :

Ampang’s hill of death

KUALA LUMPUR: Just four days short of the 15th anniversary of the Highland Towers tragedy which claimed 48 lives, another landslide in Bukit Antarabangsa claims four lives and destroys 14 bungalows.

There had been warning signs over the past years and even days before the devastating landslide that struck at about 3.30am yesterday when residents were mostly fast asleep.

Death from above: Four people were killed when a huge landslide hit Taman Bukit Mewah in Ampang, destroying 14 bungalows and forcing thousands to evacuate. The landslide occurred just kilometres from the site of the fateful Highland Towers disaster in 1993.

Flattened houses, buckled roads, uplifted vehicles, uprooted mature trees, fallen electric poles and layers of mud and debris marked the carnage that left many injured, crying, in shock and in fear of more landslides.

Among the heart wrenching stories are that of a father who tracked his son down in the rubble by calling him on his mobile phone only to find his hand sticking out still holding onto the phone; a mother who rushed in to save her son but lost her life; and a mother of a two-month-old baby who perished while the baby survived.

Even as rescuers using their bare hands and shovels raced against time in the late afternoon to rescue two people believed to be buried alive under tonnes of earth, it rained afresh, causing greater concern among all.

Police from the air-wing unit airlifted 13 people who needed immediate medical attention – two pregnant women, two heart patients, a kidney patient and a stroke patient – from a makeshift helicopter-pad to the hospital here on time.

About 2,000 residents of Bukit Antarabangsa were evacuated on foot as two sliproads were created to give them access out of the vicinity when their sole exit was cut off.

The VIPs who came to the site all sent out the same message – no more hillside development projects – even as many who have lived in the landslide-prone water catchment area for years swore to sell off their properties.

The dead have been identified as veterinarian Dr N. Yogeswari, 40, accountant Ng Yee Ping, 30, and IT student Shaiful Khas Shaha­ruddin, 20. The fourth victim is Indonesian Surina, 30.

Selangor Chief Police Officer Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said the search and rescue operation would continue for 24 hours a day unless the rain gets too heavy.

“The rain is not helping. The area covered by the landslide is more than 10 acres (4ha),” he told reporters at a press conference near the site.

There were VIPs involved, too. The Prime Minister’s principal private secretary Datuk Tha­­­juddeen Abdul Wahab rushed home to his ruined house to rescue his boss’ diary.

The sole missing person is believed to be his security guard.

Singer Datuk Siti Nurhaliza who lives nearby was shocked to see a cousin’s house des­troyed.

And Dr Benjamin George, who survived the Highlands Tower disaster, was not convinced that things would get better.

“In three months, the tractors will start work again. I have survived long enough to see all this nonsense repeated,” he said.

*****

If you see where the landslide started, u could see there's a row of houses. My house is the row behind that.

Yes, its that close. and that is what making me very sad. not just the lost of lives and their harta...

My parents bought the house sometime is the 1980s. and we moved there from Taman T*ar in 1990. I was in standard 4 that time....

The house was the first development in B.A. i could still remember how cool the environment would be early in the morning or everytime it rained. we could also hear monkeys at the jungle, now area where the landslide timbus all the houses.

in fact, the apartments in front of us were built when we are already there. with my room acing it, i remember cursing every morning whenever they buat all the construction work. the pilling part was the worst! headaches je.

It wasn't called B.A dulu. It was called Wangs*a Ukay. Most residence still call itu WU, although most ppl would know B.A better - famous for the big houses, rich & famous ppl who lives there.

what most don't know is, B.A started with a few taman perumahan developed by then, MB*F (now already gulung tikar i think, same as our developer)

My house is a simple semi-D double storyhouse with 5 rooms (incl the storeroom) and4 bathrooms. admittedly, kalau ikut standard rumah sekarang, our house is considerd quite besar.

Mama and Papa bought it for about RM130K (correction : RM165K, original price is around RM230K), kalau jual balik sekarang (before this whole catastrophe), it could reach RM500K. mind you, my parents are not well-to-do. they both are also journalist. bukan wartawan dekat all this private companies like Utusa*n, The Sta*r or Medi*a Prim*a but under Bernam*a.

They were what some people consider lucky. to get a big house and payment scheme that enables them to get the dream home they wanted, very near to the city with greenies that doesn't stress them.

with the execption of tama*n tar, we used to live in congested area...my dad always worries how it would effect me and my bro.

he would joke (sometimes serious), the reason we left taman sr*i rampai was because my bro had this facination towards garbage trucks. everytime it came, jojo would be running to the front door and stare.

papa wants more things for us..he wanted us to mix with other races, to converse confidently in english, to be open to the world...thats when he moved us to taman ta*r (that house belongs to my aunt but it was empty as her whole family had to move to bintulu and t'ganu..my uncle was working w carigal*i at that time).

i love the house in WU. its always been quiet. neighbours don't bother you. a sense of tranquility is always there. whats missing is the warmth of kejiranan.

my parents do try to berkawan with the neighbours, and we do have great friends. but takdelah sampai tahap what some kejiranan have...

tanah runtuh does happens sometimes, esp dekat the jalan nak naik bukit tu...in fact, one did happen last 2 weeks and mpa*j are in the process of building the retaining wall..

what happened at 4 am semalam not only shocked us...we always have this fear that tanah runtuh does happens to the housing area, but takdelah sampai pikir bukan-bukan. its something that crossed our minds, but never taken seriously.

i could see most ppl are confused why kawasan yang penuh dgn pokok boleh runtuh. ramai yang tak sangka about underground water kan? i for one admit tak pernah terpikir. i always tot there's always drainage for it.

apparently i'm wrong....

yes, the damage has been done. but what happens after this? will the whole WU kena pindah and leave their house, their precious commodity that they worked so hard to built/get? will BA become empty? will we be able to rebuilt our lives? do we live in fear?

i could sense my mom's sadness when we talked tru the phone just now. its still there. but i talked to Annas just now (he's a friend, a former unimate, who happens to be a policeman di IPD Ampang Jaya).

"Safe but not adviseable to return. at this moment".

sedih sangat ok? but we are greatful that everyone in the family is safe. i'm currently staying with my in-laws sebab dekat dgn AP, my parents and bro di Buki*t Jelutong.

i pray more survivors will be found. i pray for the safety of everyone. i pray things would be safe soon....

tanah runtuh 2...

we left B.A at around 11.30 am, soon after Papa patah balik and ordered us to pack our stuff. he was planning to go to Melawati and get us nasi lemak for brekkie but turned around at the junction near our place. apparently he saw a few trees tumbang at the abandoned houses in jalan 9 (we are in jalan 7).

tanpa rasa panic, we took our time and pack our stuff. me, as usual i packed the most. well, i am due soon and since fitri and i was planning to stay at taman ta*r over the raya hols, so untuk menyenangkan i...anyway, papa, mama and jojo packed for only the weekend...they are staying at mak teh ida's house in bukit jelu*tong...

reason i am at taman ta*r is easy, apart from fitri coming home tomorrow is because AP is only 5 mins away...so kalau dah nak bersalin, sangat dekat. if i ikut my family, its going to be hassle for them to send me there...dah la jauh..

somehow i am sadden by the whole tragedy. not just because of the lives lost but also the fact it happened (almost) at our backyard.

apparently the slide started in the bukit in front rows depan our house...(bayangkan ada satu row depan rumah)...i pun tak sedar that it happened there until i saw the news this afternoon...

it really is near our house!

we have no idea if we would have to be evacuated and eventually, abandon the house...so far, no news. i think most of the residents there dah pndah or at least keluar, from their home for the time being...

since i am preggie, and menunggu hari, of course i can't do any coverage. but sometimes, i do wish i could. it happened at my own backyard...and i would gain such valuable experience...but i understand. kalau buat kerja and tetiba nak beranak, bukankah jadi lagi satu masalah?

its raining now, and the unconfirmed number of casualties has reached 7 people. i pray more would be saved. rain is going to make the rescue mission harder, even the soil will erode more. even tadi i heard air mula naik kat the area (underground water is the cause of the slide). *sigh*..

i'm touched by family members and friends who called to ask about our situation. alhamdulilah so far we are safe. and diligently keeping updates over the net and tv...

my pak tham is still there, helping us and the media (bernam*a) w the updates.

Pak tham, apparently bersara from being a journo is not something forever ya?

Tanah runtuh..

I woke up at 6.30 am when i received a sms from Apard asking me if i know kawasan B.A tanah runtuh...at first, sorry apard, i was cursing who would be smsing me this early in the morn...as soon as i read his msg, i could hear the heli making its rounds, monitoring the situation..

apparently they have been monitoring much earlier than that...

first thing i did was check if my bro dah balik. you see, i woke up at 4 and tgk dia tak balik lagi..i didn't think of anything masa tu, apart the usual washroom run...

luckily his car dah ada kat depan by 6.30...

soon, we could hear the police made an announcement telling the whole residence in my area to be at the front of our house...as soon as that, we were downstairs...my, ramai gila orang kat bawah...that includes those ppl who lives the condo rite in front of my house...

ramai was still in the state of disbelieve, awaken from their weekend slumber...ada juga yang try turun bawah the bukit and see anything, but they don't go far...

not much news were known...just rumors, or updates from friends who lives at the directly affected area below...some ppl said it all started around 4.30 am, as they heard bunyi loose soil...

my bro said : "masa ni lah 'meet the neighbours' kan?" (our whole bukit tend to keep to themselves)

pak tham has been keeping us updated, concerned family has been calling to check on us...

a collegue who lives with her family at KyoT*o Gard*ens Aprtment unable to get out of the area as the one access road tertimbus.

so far that i knw, about 8 houses, 20 people tertimbus. numbers of casualties has reached 4.

my area pun dgr kata ada soil movement..hence, thats why semua kena duduk luar as they look at the situation...

the heli is making its rounds again, flying lower now...from atop, we could hear the sirens...*sigh*..

my family dah masuk rumah semula but we are keeping alert, tgk tv. manalah tau nak kena evacuate kejap lagi.

alfatihah to those perished.

masih menunggu hari...

Obgyn : Datuk Dr. As*har Abdulla*h
Location : Ampan*g Pute*ri Specialist Hospy
Date of checkup : 3rd Dec 2008
Weeks of pregnancy : 39 weeks
Body weight : 62.5 kg

Again, no pictures this time as the images were not really sharp pun...so, i guess we have to wait for the baby to come out baru boleh tengok dia... :-)


waktu menunggu as usual mengambil masa yang amat lama...sempatlah pergi ampan*g point and the bank *sigh*...

ok, i know i should walk more these days but sometimes it can get very uncomfy and a tad painful..in fact, i was panting like mad when i arrived at the shopping centre..tu belum pergi bank lagi...takpe-takpe kugagahi setiap langkah :-P

nowdays, everytime i go somewhere, deep inside i have this fear that my water breaks at inopportune time...i mean, if it breaks, thats good lah tapi gosh i think its going to be messy kan?

it doesn't help that i still travel alone...cuba bayangkan : my water breaks or i'm having cintractions masa tgh driving...or worse, masa tgh stuck in traffic..tak ke terseksa? isk..doa-doa takdelah sampau to that situation...

currently i am on leave but on Sunday dah start kerja balik *sigh* and my next checkup is on wednesday...

maybe masa tu minta mc, aci tak? my annual leave pun dah habis (technically ada lagi 7 days but i bawa ke next year takut apa-apa yang penting berlaku...)..

my tummy is really huge now...jalan pun macam mother goose..heheheh..appetite pun sihat jer. :-P anyway, yesterday's checkup went well...

told the Dr that i dah start feeling pain around the lower bump dan my frequency to the ladies has increased tremendously...

He said thats normal as the baby dah engage.. :-)

Sebelum buat ultrascan, he checked the head's location and apparently still a bit loose...soon..

baby's weight not is between 2.7-2.8 kg and Dr said thats a good weight, not too small nor heavy.

this time he scanned the umbilical blood flow (or something like that), so cool! coz leh tgk the flow..memula ingatkan bunyi the heartbeat, rupanya aliran darah... :-) and alhamdulilah everything looks normal...

since due date is 7hb, so we would have to wait and see sama ada dia akan keluar that day..if not, a few more days..whateveritis, i would have to wait until contractions dah rapid/air dah pecah utk masuk hspy..

*sigh* sometimes the wait is killing me...but i have to admit that i'm so nervous! hope my friend's, Lut, dreams does come true : i bersalin senang tanpa rasa sakit..hahaha..amin.

soon? how soon?

Obgyn : Datuk Dr. As*har Abdulla*h
Location : Ampan*g Pute*ri Specialist Hospy
Date of checkup : 26th November 2008
Weeks of pregnancy : 38 weeks
Body weight : 62 kg


Sorry folks this time no pictures as the image was pretty blurry..(plus i pun lupa nak minta the Dr a copy..)..

anyway, baby's weight now is 2.8 kg (if ikut ultrascan) but we budget its about 2.6 kg..and the due date definitely dah haywire coz it said now the due date is about th 27th..hahaha...

the baby is already engaged and its anytime soon now...*smile*...it could be within a week or it could be the 17th...whateveritis, its really soon...

the Dr even joked, "see you here (at the clinic) if you tak deliver lagi next week", as we were leaving...

yes, my dears...it might be that soon! gosh, i'm so nervous and excited at the same time!

now Fitri kena standby his phone all the time for THAT call..i pray tak contract or pecah air kat office!!!*fingers crossed*

i'll be on leave for a week (30/11-6/12) and if by then tak bersalin lagi, i'll be working for a few days (org lain semua cuti raya haji) and then bila pergi checkup for that week, try to minta MC if possible...

wow...soon! *disbelieve*
