Without me mobile phone

It was 5 minutes to 9 in the morning and I was rushing to leave the house to catch the 9.11 am bus to Uni. I thought I've had everything but as I arrived at the bus stop, I realized I've left my mobile phone at home. I can see it - sitting on the TV stand. *SIGH* As I was contemplating whether to return home, take the phone and walk back to the bus stop, or not, the bus arrived. No arguments there. So, the day began without the phone. Big deal?! Well, not so much I guess. It's just a bit weird and I was a bit restless earlier in the day. But after I started doing stuff, had a meeting with my supervisor and do more stuff at Uni, I kinda forgot about the phone. Mr.Hubby did not pick up my call when I tried to call him. I did however send a text to him using the public pay phone. Can we do that in Malaysia??? Anyway, yeah Aariz was with me all day long. I texted Mr.Hubby saying we are in Uni and we'll wait for him to pick us up home. That was at around 3pm. At about 4.30pm, he's still a no show and he still didn't pick up the phone when I tried to called. Aariz looked tired, it was getting cold as the wind was blowing quite strongly, it was overcast and looked like it was going to rain, the Uni was getting really quiet and I was a little bit anxious. It was almost 5 pm when I finally decided to take the bus home - hoping that we'll reach home first and able to tell Mr.Hubby that he does not have to stop by Uni to pick us up. Mr.Hubby had an extraordinary long day at work that day, so he just came off work just as I arrived home. I had a missed call from an unknown number, missed calls from Mr.Hubby and a text from my labmate. Sorry Eva!!! At the end of the day, everything worked out just fine. Eventhough it was not such a big deal without the mobile phone, I think I'll make sure I have it with me especially when I'm out and about. ;-)

8 hours without mobile phone. Can you imagine 30 days without it? Huhuhu...



Cheers!

Bonjour!

I know! It's been a while. Huhuhu...

It's been a while since I had the chance to be online long enough to really check my emails, read blogs and reply facebook massages. So, posting a blog entry is just impossible. But this morning, I have checked and replied my emails, replied facebook messages and managed to blog hopped a bit. I even had the time to find some references for my research, had a lil bit of a read and printed them out. Woohoo!!! Cemerlang u! Heh... Aariz? Fast asleep on my lap as I go about on the computer. Oh, we're at the Graduate centre. Been here since 6 am this morning. Did a quick stop at the lab while Mr.Hubby looked after Aariz at the carpack. He then went to work. We left the house at 5.15 am! Huhuhu...

Anyways, since Aariz's emergency visit to the hospital, we had friends over and went fishing along the river in front of our house (twice), we went home to Malaysia for 2 weeks for my sister's wedding, watched a lot of DVDs at home (and stayed home on off days because Mr.Hubby and I were too tired to do anything else!) and spent time in Uni at odd hours. Huhuhu... Aariz though is doing a lot of new things. By 8 months;

He's sitting well without support.
Although there was a few occasions when he'll just lose his balance resulting in a small bump on his head.

He's crawling!
He kinda pushed himself forward for 2-3 weeks to move around until he was able to actually crawl. He did some bottom shuffling too then. Hehe...

He was also able to push himself up to a standing position on furnitures.
Exciting at first for Mr.Hubby and I but it then became a lil bit scary until now we just got used to it. Yeah, falls are truly inevitable nowadays. Huhuhu...

He's quite talkative!
Making lots of cooing, mumbling, and all sorts of sounds whenever he feels like it. Wonder where he gets it from?! Heh..

He has 2 bottom teeths!
Ouch?!!! Huhuhu...

Aariz's up! I should probably continue this next time. Soon. I hope. Heh...

Till next time.

Cheers!

Allergic Reaction

Mr.Hubby and I were too excited to have Aariz eating like us, we've forgotten that he's just not ready yet. He had only tried rice cereal, pureed carrots, melons, sweet potato, and potato. I kinda know Aariz needs to try other type of food before going for banana milk rusks but yes, I gave him one anyway earlier today. What were we thinking?! We did not! Huhuhu...

Aariz happily had the rusk around 1.30 pm. He was a bit fussy and had trouble falling to sleep for his nap around 2. As I was putting him down, I realized there were more rashes on his chest than his usual eczema rash. Few minutes later, his ears started to turn red. Then these mosquito-bite-marks-like rashes (bintat-bintat) appeared on his face and at the back of his neck. Mr.Hubby and Salman had a look at Aariz and they both think something is wrong. So, when Aariz's eyelid starts to swell, we decided to take him to the hospital. Salman drove us to Mater Hospital and dropped us at the children's emergency. We arrived there by 3.30 with Aariz's face almost swollen and he was so irritable (poor Aariz!). After a brief registration and panicky explanation to the baby nurse, a Pediatrician had a looked at Aariz. Medications was given to reduce the itchiness and the allergic reaction. She told us they have to monitor Aariz for at least 4 to 6 hours.

After vomiting his first round of medications. Ears still swollen. :-(

 After a short nap and the second round of medications as he vomited everything the first time, Aariz's condition started to get better. He had a quick feed and after a short nap, Aariz was his cheerful and friendly self again. It was as if nothing had happened. What a relief! Alhamdulillah. 

I'm all good and ready to go!

Just realized there's something on his toe...

Now, how do I get this thing off me?!

 The pediatrician had a last look at Aariz and we were finally allowed to go home by 7 pm.

The whole ordeal lasted about 5 hours but it felt like ages. I almost cried while explaining to the baby nurse what happened at the registration counter but didn't. Luckily for me, Mr.Hubby was so calm and cool. Thank you! And thank you to Salman and Intan too.

So yeah, that was our first day of the year.

Happy New Year 2012!

Cheers!
