Thank you peeps for all the well wishes...I hope she is doing fine. It has been like this for the past few years so I am quite okay, all I can do now is pray for her to have a save operation which I dont know when. Seeing her suffer with all the needles poking her arms while doing the dialysis can really make me teared at one point of time...but now I guess there isnt any more tears that could come out from my eyes coz I have got so accustom to it.(Its not that I have no more symphaty but only God knows) But seeing her lying in bed make me realize how she has actually been strong to face the challenge with 2 major illnesses that I think I myself could not have manage despite the fact of my age. Imagine having cancer & kidney failure?

What my mum is going through...

Arteriovenous Graft
If you have small veins that won't develop properly into a fistula, you can get a vascular access that uses a synthetic tube implanted under the skin in your arm. The tube becomes an artificial vein that can be used repeatedly for needle placement and blood access during hemodialysis. A graft doesn't need to develop as a fistula does, so it can be used sooner after placement, often within 2 or 3 weeks.
Compared with fistulas, grafts tend to have more problems with clotting or infection and need replacement sooner, but a well-cared-for graft can last for several years.
One kind of AV graft.

And today...the doctor has decide to do this(see below) while finding a way to replace a new artificial graph(above). Her previous artificial graph has got blood clot. So this will be a temporary way to do her dialysis...Its really painful having a cathether on the neck & the needle to go through the vein is so near to the heart. MasyaAllah!

To CHEER myself up at work while I want to pass the time away I decided to do this:

I hope you like it Crab...This may look quite similar to one of my skin but still there is this "Exclusive" touch to it...haha.

Have a great loooong weekend peeps. I shall be celebrating Haziq's 6th birthday tomorrow... time has really fly & he shall be in Primary 1 next year.

DESTRESS moment after the Audit check...while waiting for them to find my mistake I had done a sinful thing again. I have design another skin. This skin has a dull colour but with some colurful touch I manage to create something that I think soothe my eyes.

So guys do feel free to comment...

Kuar masuk..kuar masuk blog ni macam dah ada spider web gitu... So now I finally decide to talk about my weekend . Saturday is a "rewanging" day, my Aunt has promised her friend to cook for hari nikah as a gift. So me & my other cousin has to come down to help her to "rewang". My duty has been upgraded to do the real thing compare to the old days where I have to just do the cutting. So my first task is to do bubur tao suan....hmmm... never thought she would allow me to do the things on my own...but she did. Next is the bone steak...they have already boil the tulang & all they need me to do is to do the finale with the help of my aunt expertise I manage to do a 20kg bone steak.

The weekend was a remourse one though..here we are helping & having fun ...laughing & joking among one another but deep down in out heart we felt real sad... "She" was diagnose of having some critical sickness which "he" still wants to keep it as a secret...Found out from my cousin yesterday that "she" might have cancer...Oh no! Despite the fact that my mum have both kidney failure & Breast cancer... it may not look the same. My mum she is a very strong person. She is sooo determined that she need to live for the sake of the family. Whereas, "she" was so sad over her husband death 5 years back & still hoping that they will be together...This is all up to takdir I should say...Only Allah s.w.t will determined that but now all we know "she" look quite fresh but we still don't understand why the doctor has to discharge her from the hospital & not doing the thorough check like what they have done on my mum...We all have suspected that she might be suffering from lung cancer but right now we are all praying for the best...

Boss: Azian, u have to be there tonight at the reception desk to register the participants.
Az: Uh...ohh...(*cough2) ok, but i need to go off early, i'm still unwell.
Boss: Oh sure..sure. U can leave once the registration are over, and dont forget to eat before you leave. We hv HALAL caterers.
Az: Ummm...ok. I'll see if I will stay till dinner.

Phewww....I think I can make it, to meet my MSN kakis tonight. Quickly buzz all of them that I could make it but unfortunately one of my MSN kakis can't make it. I guess we'll make up other times. Meeting point at Bugis Taxi stand...

Hour hand struck 7pm..I dashed out from the reception desk & head to the main door to Bugis Taxi stand. Called Crab & meet her at "Tong Seng" with the "DIVA" awaiting for the rest to come. "Diva" was the 1st to come...& there is one new blogger that I met Em...friendly lady. I met "Diva' the 1st time too but numerous time in the cyber world. She's a very humourous lady, Em 1st time knowing her but can really "ngam" so fast like we have got the chemistry. Crab the all time famous Crab..hehee, slender but yet has really got 1 good apetite. How you do that eh? Can eat so much but maintain gitu. Kak SK came late but got her "mee" earlier then me. I was so hungry but the shredded chicken noodle came so late that i finally got a refund of $1. After eating...we decided to have Swensen for Dessert. Thanks to Crab for treating us there...thats my medicine i guess but coz both me & crab share I think thats the reason why I am still coughing right now. I should have a banana split all by myself or perhaps a Volcano. Anyway we talk abt anything and had a great time that we all act really macam anak dara...Its been a while since I reached home by 11pm alone. Anyway, guys I really have a great time.

Arrrggghhh....The reason why I have not been updating is simple. I have been sick...ON & Off. On Monday I have got a very bad cough...too lazy to visit the doctor so I just drink the "Ubat batuk cap kelapa laut" Cough here..cough there...On Wednesday was even terrible...I was on a so called diet regime...trying to cut down on rice intake & replace it with bee hoon or bread but my body just cant take it...I keep on throwing up & had a diarrhoea. The diarrhoea could be caused by the keropok lekor that I have eaten yesterday,but i'm not alone my maid & hubb too got it but not as bad. That morning I drag myself to doctor despite knowing that i would "deposit" anytime. After a jab I was ok but doctor says it is just a stomach flu that I could get from someone. And guess what yesterday my nose was block...very terrible block that I have to breathe from my mouth, I look like a fish now. What more...this evening I have got a talk to attend.Why must it stagger...why not I have it one shot, I can't do my work peacefully and i can't be taking MC all the time. The thought that i would be fresher after a holiday was not the answer...perhaps I should have a longer break or should I give myself a break forever & be a homemaker? My hubby has given me a signal that I should just stay at home but the thought that I will never have enuf to support my extra needs, I would rather stay put. So peep tell me wat do you think?

Finally....a destress moment for me is to create something arty or creative...perhaps my right brain is too tired & need the other one to balance up...Cut that crap. But I am still not statisfied though...like there is something amiss. Anyway, I will change the sidebar soon...it look kind of funny somehow.

Gold Coast Trip - Part 2

Ok..ok. For those who wants to know how I spent my holiday in Gold Coast...It has actually been one exciting trip...juz like the Amazing Race with the "subload ticlet" for the family. We did not stay in any fancy hotel but stay in a cozy apartment near to Surfers Paradise. Surfers was actually one of a very busy port for the youngsters...Very noisy at night with all the yuppies shout & scream & even recite poem mcm alah...alah kat FIRE Disco gitu. Anyway, travel with kids means to go to Theme Parks & of course their wildlife sanctuary. Face to face with the kangaroos & koalas have been my childhood dream that has been fulfiled.(*mcm JAKUN gitu 1st time touch this animals)Anyway, most of the time we would either eat "fish & chips" or having home meal(*Haizzz...still got to masak here, mcm tak rest gitu) Towards the last few days of our stays we venture out to find some Halal Butcher & also find some Halal Restaurant which cost $$$$. All in all the TRIP was a great one...family get together finally since both me & hubb work we seldom have 1 full day with the kids....(*Since the entry is too long, the pix are all in my multiply)

"Dearest suamiku yg tercinta...Thanks for the trip despite the fact that we hv to sleep over at the Airport for a night it is still an Unforgetable Trip that I will cherish"
From your beloved family....
