Salam Ramadhan.
Yupp, kini sudah tiba 10 hari terakhir Ramadhan Almubarak. Kita pencinta bulan yg berkat ini dalam diam meratap dikala melipatganda ibadah menyembah Tuhan sekelian alam. Kita bakal menjadi perindu kpd saat2 manis Ramadhan. Tiada lain yg lebih memberi ketenangan diri selain sujud beribadah dan memohon keampunan dariNya. Aktiviti tadarrus juga sptmana tradisi masyarakat melayu sheffield tetap berlangsung dgn jayanya.
Menjelang Aidilfitri ini, suasana di sini seperti sedia kala shj. Usah lah dibandingkan dgn tanahair. Amat berbeza. Pakaian raya ialah baju kurung yg dipakai setiap kali raya sejak 2007. Manakala utk anak2 pula, hanya sekali bertukar. Kuih raya? Adalah dua jenis. Cukup membanggakan:) honestly tiada homemade raya cookies dihidang di rumah sblm tiba di UK ni. Tiba disini, alhmadulillah, dpt juga gagahkan diri bikin biskut raya yg mudah2. Begitu juga juadah di pagi raya. InsyAllah, akan ada lontong, sayur lodeh(selera hubby), kuah kacang (style saya), lemang dan rendang (tanpa daun kunyit..huhu). Memandangkan tiada perlatan khusus utk menyediakan juadah tradisional ini, maka pandai2 lah kami menjd McGyver ..yg penting rasa dan rupa tak jauh beza..Sblm ini, tak pernah ada juadah sedemikian daripada hasil tgn sendiri. So, balik nanti dah tak risau krn keadaan di perantauan ini memaksa saya belajar dan akhirnya PANDAI juga membuatnya . ahakkss. Menukar perhiasan rumah serta menghias rumah serba baru ialah suatu hal yg langsung tak perlu difikirkan..! Bagi saya, cukup lah mengemas apa yang patut. Teringat dulu2, sibuk menghias rumah dgn menggantung kad2 raya..hehe.
Apa apa pun Ramadhan masih perlu dimanfaatkan. Waktu berbuka sudahpun beranjak lbh cepat iaitu ke jam 8pm hari ini. Anak2 nampaknya sudah biasa dgn puasa long hours ni. Rajin juga mrk menjenguk ke dapur ketika sy menyediakan juadah, terutamanya yg sulong itu. Semalam, beliau masuk ke dapur dan bertanya:
Azrai: Mama, what are you cooking ?
mama: Ikan keli.
Azrai: So, it becomes curly when you cook it?
Mama: Naper plakk curly?
Azrai: (Terus bertanya dgn konpius nyer) So, why do you call it ikan 'curly'..?
Mama: ???? loorr, bukan ikan c.u.r.l.y It is ikan K.E.L.I.. (tergelak sakan ..dlm hati)
Haii..anak oh anak. Nak tergelak, tp tak boleh krn dia tak rasa kelakar pon. selamber sj mukanya ..
Ada juga hari2 nya kami berbuka di rumah kawan, atas jemputan ataupon bila ada majlis berbuka puasa beramai2. Kadang2 kami menjeput rkn2 dtg berbuka di rumah. Dapat juga membangkitkan rasa meriah tatkala berbuka. Diikuti dgn solat terawih. Pendedahan ini amat bagus utk anak2 terutamanya spy mrk terbiasa dgn suasana bulan ramadhan. Saya juga amat berharap agar ia dpt menanam kerinduan anak2 saya utk bertemu bulan Ramdhan yang akan datang.
Sekian utk entry kali ini. Sama2 lah kita mengejar waktu utk melipatgandakan pahala di bulan mulia ini.
Till we meet again , see you soon, very very soon.

Remain not Refrain..
Salam Ramadhan.
Another 10 days to Eid. Our golden oppurtunity to give our best to the Creator. Hoping that we are able to meet the most awiting night, Lailatulqadar. InsyAllah.
Dear friends,
So far, I have a few links and become fanpages of Lupus pages, but most of are from abroad until I found one article from Malay Daily. This article is a simple writing and easy to understand, telling us about experiences of Lupus patients.
From my knowledge from another information links that I can share here is that Lupus is an invisible illness. You can see the we are normal person and carry same life routine but, back home we need to consume medication. And also we struggle hard to mantain normal lifestyle. Having a very good stress management and self-power to keep in positive mind is crucial. Thus, it is wonderful to have someone to understand our situation. Mind you, we are not seeking for simpathy tho. Being a chronic illness patient allow me to understand thoroughly that it is not 'simpathy' we are looking for, but a little encouragement in life. I admitt that it is easy to meet people who tend underestimate our capability. I am telling you, that 'you are wrong, very wrong'. That kind respond would lessen our confidence thus lowering our of positiveness. This would lead to hindrance situation where the patients would isolate themselve from surrounding and refrain from public..it is bad. Well, it happens, really. Perhaps with the helps from close friends and immediate family will protect us from bahaving like this. These patients need to remain in the society and always willing to be at their best, same as you. Or else, it is better to keep this secret from new friends..?? but it sounds as if I am a greedy, selfish person..i always think that i ve been thru the hardtimes plus Lupus is not a well known illness to most people.thus, it is wrong to keep this secret. why not i share with other ppl? and also i m not in position to stop people judging me or any other notty talkings.. all i wanted is to create Lupus (SLE) awreness among society. full stop.
That is all for now friends. In the next entry, I will write about our days heading to Eid..long miles away from home.
Before I end this entry, I wish all Malaysian : 'SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI KEMERDEKAAN' on 31st August. Sayangilah negara kita, dan tanya pada diri sendiri: apakah erti merdeka yg sebenarnya.
Till we meet again, see you soon very very soon. Bye.

New Druggy.
Salam Ramadhan
Looking out thru the windows.. eiii my washing r saoking wet after a couple of days remain in rainy days. tot it was bright shine thruout the day, but not lasted till dusk. huhu. i decided to see how it goes until this evening then only will twke them in n the heater will do the rest. sigh. winter is not yet coming but our gas is billing up:((
A few days ago, I had found a very useful link regarding to the drugs use in controlling Lupus. It has brought a big relief to the serious lupus patient and long term steroid consumer like me. Although it has not yet formally announced to replace the steroid, but as I am understood that the formality will come soon. Wel, in diff view, not denying this findings might burst to a controversy issue, as it talks about genome human to come out with this new drug. Hmm..sorry, im not in position to give further comment. klu nak ikut kan, drugs ni dah jd isu suatu ketika dulu w'pon utk tujuan perubatan. tp, sekiranya dah tiada jlan lain, dan melibatkan kesihatan, pd saya di bolehkan. Sbb tu lah, sy still jdk drug addict nih :))
Steroid has been doing such a miracle to Lupus patient. The truth is, no one ever knows how it works to control the activity of Lupus as it is actually designed for other illness.. i still remember when my husbd was admitted due to serious breathing problem. He was found out to have his lung infected (due to long term of flu). He was on steroid for a short period to heal the problem and finally did recover as expected.
Consuming the steroid for that short term is just fine. The issue is only for the long term consumer. After 17 yrs, my skin becomes thin and thinner and easily to have a cut. Eventho I accidently crush to the edge of a piece of paper. And I can't bear with the extereme weather, either is hot or cold. My bone n teeth r also affected. I notice that, compared to people of same age. There r a few other things from steroid that make me different person to others.
Musim sejuk bakal menjelma. Mood pon sudah bertukar kelabu. Yer lah, hari2 bangun pagi langit mendung sampai le ke petang. tau2 dah pon masuk maghrib. Waktu tghri seolah2 lenyap di musim sejuk.
Till we meet again, see you soon very2 soon.take care.

Dan Musim Pun Berubah..
Salam Ramadhan;
early this morning, my lil said,' i'm feeling like to cry, hhuhuhu. i got headache n my body is warm'. I put my palm on her forehead, yup, a bit warm. Just now she took a short nap and woke up telling me the the same thing. Demam pulak putri ku ni. Most probably caused by drastic weather changes lately. It has been a few days we have been in rainy and windy days. Esp in the early morning. Then, panas terik, suddenly hujan panas lak.
We r heading to Autumn, leaving Summer with wonderful memories. Time for coat n jacket everyone. Rasa cam baru sgt simpan coat dlm lemari, dah kena kuarkan balik. Autumn comes to welcome winter.Arggghh..hopefully this one will be the final winter. Our preparation to the cold season dah ok, heater electric pon dah tambah. Hmm, caner agaknyer winter thn ni..Adakah lbh sejuk berbanding yg sblm ini ( yg dikatakan musim sejuk terburuk di UK)..Waaa..
Simptom winter lebih ketara. Musim org demam,esp time baru2 masuk winter. Demam kat cni tersgt lah teruk nyer. Flat. Setiap thn, tak pernah sy termiss demam winter. First time tu samapi sebulan. Second time, tak boleh bangun sampai tak leh masak. Kelam kabut my other half tengok resepi kat internet tuk masak sup ayam..kwang3..Heard that we r entitled to take injection utk mengelakkan fever tu. thinking nak amik jgaklah.
Climate changes berlaku di serata dunia, termasuklah negara ku tercinta. Dgrnya, cuaca Msia sgt panas skg ini. Kawan yg baru pulang ke Msia mengadu, 'adeeyhhh,..lbh baik berpuasa di UK walaupon long hours'. So, boleh bygkan ler tahap kepanasanya.
Hari ini, sudah separuh bulan berpuasa. Persiapan Aidilfitri tentulah spt thn2 sblm ini. None :)).

Malaysia Negara ku Indah.
Salam Ramadhan
Almost left unnoticed that this is 'Bulan Kemerdekaan' to my beloved country, Malaysia. Tak tersempat nak mengingati perjuangan pejuang2 kemerdekaan. yang pasti, ingatan penghargaan itu tetap ada. Sejarahnya, pertemuan rombongan perjuang kemerdekaan dgn penjajah yg berlaku di bumi England ini,..yg kini menjadi tpt persinggahan kami. Semoga negara ku Malaysia aman sentosa dan berjaya meraih kedudukan ke tahap kemajuan dan keamanan yg stabil. itulah harapan kami, rakyat mu.
Cuma terkilan sungguh mengenangkan peristiwa hitam yg kian menjadi2 di sana. Entahlah, sehingga saya mengharapkan agar laporan akhbar tentang kes baby dumping, amukan, bunuh membunuh, dirty political thingy itu semua adalah karut semata2. Perasaan marah, benci dan jelak setiap kali menyusuri laporan sedemikian. Apakah yg berlaku di Malaysia..? Apabila membincangkan isu2 ini, saya melihat ia bukan shj membabitkan warganegara itu sendiri, tetapi secara adilnya kita harus menyedari bahawa Malaysia sekarang didiami oleh pelbagai kaum manusia yg datang dari negara2 lain. Kes2 yg terjadi itu tidak wajar kita lihat sebagai refleksi sikap warganegara kita sahaja..Umum mengetahui telah byk berlaku kejadian jenayah dan amalan sosial yg telah mengancam keselamatan rakyat yg berpunca dari warga asing, contohnya: ragut, penempatan haram, cabul n rogol serta rompakan yg melibatkan jenayah bunuh yg amat kejam.
Sehinggakan, saya tidak dpt lari drp membuat pengakuan bhw perasaan takut dan risau yg teramat membayangkan kehidupan kami nanti apabila pulang ke tanahair. Terutamanya terhdp keselamatan anak2 di luar rumah hatta sewaktu mrk di sekolah pon. Secara jujurnya saya katakan, kehidupan di sini amat jauh berbeza. aman dan tenteram. Apa yang saya lihat, amalan perundangan di sini yg ketat yg menjd asas utama. Pihak polis, polis komuniti, guru2, jiran tetangga sgt mengambil tahu dan menekan soal keselamatan. Pihak polis sentiasa bersedia berkhidmat dan melayan aduan. Jiran2 juga mengambil tahu jika ada berlaku suspicious thing, cth: satu pg gate rumh jiran terbuka luas daripd malam ke esok pagi. Jiran yg sebelahnya repot polis n kejap jer kete peronda sampai tuk menyiasat. Sib baik, tak de pape jus dia lupa nka tutup gate. Bukanlah busy body, tp my neber tu tinggal sorang so, kitorg risau kot something bad happen to him.
Soal keselamatan kanak2 < 12 thn juga amat diambil berat. Golongan ini mestilah sentiasa di bwh guardian/parent or the elder. sesiapa yg cuai akan dituduh sbg 'child neglect' dan menerima hukuman. Dgn erti kata lain, tak der budak2 ni dibiarkan kat umah atau diluar on their own. Klu ada yg kuar rumah tinggalkan anak ini, silap aribulan polis dtg ketuk pintu.Pernah ada kes, polis pecahkan pintu rumah terbabit. Yg baby pula, tentulah lbh lagi dijaga soal keselamatan mrk.. Memang tak prnh dengar kes baby dumping di sini. Tapi, kita harus fhm juga, di sini diorg tak kisah klu ada anak luar nikah ke apa..so, klu terberanak tak de bapak tu perkara normal. Bukanlah saya mengatakan kita harus allow dan bersetuju dgn anak luar nikah ni. Tidak sama sekali.
Sebagai negara Islam, Malaysia harus berusaha lbh keras lg memperkasakan perundanganya spy lbh disegani. Pd pendpt saya, asas kpd tindakan kita harus berpaksikan kpd 'prevention better than cure'. Dgn kebanjiran warga asing yg sudah tentu menyimpang dari adab susila org Malaysia, kemasukan mrk ke negara kita juga perlu difikirkan secara serius. Spt di sini, imegeresen mula memperketatkan syarat2 kemasukan org luar ke negara ini.
Saya amat2 berdoa bumi Malaysia tercinta kembali aman tenteram. Marilah kita kembali kpd amalan mulia serta tingkatkan martabat insaniah kita. Kurangkan hiburan , buka kan lah laluan hidup kita ke arah kemajuan yg menyihatkan. Barulah masyarakat kita menjadi masyrakat yg maju dari segenap segi dan bebas dari gejala sosial yg membahaykan keselamatn penduduknya.

My Passion In Cooking.
Salam Ramadhan;
Alhamdulillah, hari yang bersinar sinar hari ini. A bright and shiny Thursday. Waken up by the lil asking to have some food. 'Mummy, I wanna eat. Can I have mm...the flat thing.? The one I had last night during berbuka KUASA..?' Ok, let's go to the kitchen and see what is the leftover :)'
As wished, yesterday, I managed to serve Nasi Lemak Sambal Sotong n Kueteaw Goreng for breaking-fast. And as kueteaw is our fav, nasik lemak became the second meal of the night. And the 'flat thing' Yasmin asked me this morning is kuetaew goreng...she still confuse PUASA with KUASA..-;P
nasik lemak is on the way..dlm piuk lg nih :))
Our half full dining table.
I love all kinda food. Just that, I prefer noodles meal rather than nasik. My top fav are noodles with soup (stew), tomyam, laksa penang, laksa trg, laksa johor n wateva laksa or noodles. Yummmyy slurpp..! Nasi tu of course la suka gak, tp lauknya mesti yg masam pedas, such as asam pedas ikan, tomyan and soup (stew). Gulai lemak or sayur lemak will be the last option maybe. n not forgetting ulam n sambal belacan.
My hubby said that my cooking has been improving much better now. Compare to the old times back in Malaysia. Thank you, altho you never had said it directly ..huhu. And as for me, cooking is something that I used to do.. it's all about experimenting the ingredients nad cooking techniques. In a way, I can apply what I did in lab. Measuring, observing and get the right solution to get the better yields in future. To be honest I like to do new things, new menu. When I cook, I do it with all my heart. I do it as I am into it. Pls don't get mess with me while I'm in the kitchen. And also I prefer to do it as 'one man show'. Otherwise I'll ask someone to assist me. Cooking is one way to chanel out your talent and to express your feeling. It can be a good therapy too, mind you. I gain full of satisfaction after come out with a meal. Being in the kitchen is not only a responsibility to come out with a meal of the day, but also to regenerate your energy. Well, have I failed to reach the target.? Mind you, this honour job do need to undergo learning process as well. There were times where I had to re-do, and change the menu. If in a factory (the production line), scrap( the defect items products) is a normal scene. Haha.. sama lah tu dgn kerja2 memasak nih. Tp, tu kdg2 jerk. Before I enter the kitchen, doing homework on that particular recipe is essential. I don't want to produce scrap anyway..!
Selamat memasak untuk semua. If you u'r a male and loves cooking, I would like to say that ur wife must be very very lucky one.
Till we meet again, see you soon very very soon.

8 Ramadhan.
Salam Ramdhan to all.
Hari rabu ..dah 8 hari berpuasa. Inikah Ramadhan terakhir kami di perantauan? harap2nya begitulah. Sahur seperti pg tadi bermula 3.15am. Dua org anak bujang turut bersahur. Ttp, adakalanya mrk request utk tidak dikejutkan sahur..Terpulanglah, mungkin terlalu kenyang semasa berbuka. Walaubagaimanapon, kami galakkan sgt mrk bersahur, atas alasan mrk harus juga bangun solat subuh berjemaah. Menu sahur se simple yg mungkin. My hubby prefer sayur air + ikan kering + sedkt kuih or kurma.
Terasa juga berpuasa di sini in term of 'suasana' bulan Ramadhan tu. Jika di Malaysia tentulah ada program mengimarahkan Ramadhan. Lain2nya ialah Bazaar ramadhan serta bermain bunga api..! My kids rindukan bunga api, bukan mercun tau. Walaupon kat sini ada Bonfire Nite, tp, tak lah terlalu seronok krn hanya sekadar menonton shj. Baju2 raya pula tentulah recycle daripada tahun2 seblm ini. Nasib baiklah masih muat. Hanya ayahnya shj yg bersampin bersongkok, anak2 cuma pakai baju Melayu. Ok lah tu. Si kecil pula bakal menyarung baju kurung baru yg dikirim melalui kawan yg pulang bercuti bbrp bulan lps.
Setelah dipersetujui olh kami berdua :), menu berbuka hari ini will be nasik lemak. Semalam, beliau pulang bersama se pack sotong dan juga ikan masin mackerel. Harap2nya dpt lah kami merasa nasik lemak sambal sotong. Sy juga bercdg menyediakn kueteaw goreng basah. Maknanya tiada kuih muih hari ni. Bun banana-coklat masih berbaki bbrpa bijik. Cukup lah tu. Selalunya begitulah menu berbuka kami sedari hari pertama lagi. Tiada pembaziran. Hmmm..elok juga yer tiada bazaar ramadhan nih :)
Akhir2 ini, cuaca seakan mula sejuk.. Dah nak masuk autumn ke nih? Tp still 15C.Sebelah pagi biasanya sedikit angin kencang + hujan. Heater mula dipsg esp di waktu mlm. Cuaca mendung menjangkau ke pagi. Menjelang petang baru lah matahari mula memanaskan bumi Crookes ni. Haii..itu lah yg membuatkan sy serba salah utk keluar menyidai basuhan.
Ohhh matahari sudah bersinar ni.! Elok sgt sy mengeringkan basuhan semlm. Till we meet again, see you soon very2 soon.
Hari rabu ..dah 8 hari berpuasa. Inikah Ramadhan terakhir kami di perantauan? harap2nya begitulah. Sahur seperti pg tadi bermula 3.15am. Dua org anak bujang turut bersahur. Ttp, adakalanya mrk request utk tidak dikejutkan sahur..Terpulanglah, mungkin terlalu kenyang semasa berbuka. Walaubagaimanapon, kami galakkan sgt mrk bersahur, atas alasan mrk harus juga bangun solat subuh berjemaah. Menu sahur se simple yg mungkin. My hubby prefer sayur air + ikan kering + sedkt kuih or kurma.
Terasa juga berpuasa di sini in term of 'suasana' bulan Ramadhan tu. Jika di Malaysia tentulah ada program mengimarahkan Ramadhan. Lain2nya ialah Bazaar ramadhan serta bermain bunga api..! My kids rindukan bunga api, bukan mercun tau. Walaupon kat sini ada Bonfire Nite, tp, tak lah terlalu seronok krn hanya sekadar menonton shj. Baju2 raya pula tentulah recycle daripada tahun2 seblm ini. Nasib baiklah masih muat. Hanya ayahnya shj yg bersampin bersongkok, anak2 cuma pakai baju Melayu. Ok lah tu. Si kecil pula bakal menyarung baju kurung baru yg dikirim melalui kawan yg pulang bercuti bbrp bulan lps.
Setelah dipersetujui olh kami berdua :), menu berbuka hari ini will be nasik lemak. Semalam, beliau pulang bersama se pack sotong dan juga ikan masin mackerel. Harap2nya dpt lah kami merasa nasik lemak sambal sotong. Sy juga bercdg menyediakn kueteaw goreng basah. Maknanya tiada kuih muih hari ni. Bun banana-coklat masih berbaki bbrpa bijik. Cukup lah tu. Selalunya begitulah menu berbuka kami sedari hari pertama lagi. Tiada pembaziran. Hmmm..elok juga yer tiada bazaar ramadhan nih :)
Akhir2 ini, cuaca seakan mula sejuk.. Dah nak masuk autumn ke nih? Tp still 15C.Sebelah pagi biasanya sedikit angin kencang + hujan. Heater mula dipsg esp di waktu mlm. Cuaca mendung menjangkau ke pagi. Menjelang petang baru lah matahari mula memanaskan bumi Crookes ni. Haii..itu lah yg membuatkan sy serba salah utk keluar menyidai basuhan.

Ku Pendam Sebuah Duka.
Salam Ramadhan to all;
What a relief. Finally,I manange to get the tablets despite of the missing prescription slip.
My next appointment to see neurologist (Renal Clinic, Northern General Hospt) will be in Sept. Most probably I will get a lower dose this time. Actually we have been looking to reduce the steroid as minimum as could,however it failed when I developed headache and uneasy days. It seems that I still need to consume it, tak per,.. soon we'll get thru this. There was a time when they switched the steroid to less side effect tablets (aziotherapine), but also failed as I got a long period of high fever.
Nmpknya at the moment steroid itu shj could give me a normal life. Ttg side effects tu mmg lah takut. tp mestikah saya terus melayani ketakutan itu sehingga menjejaskan kualiti hidup ini?
In my day life, I admitt that I need to be extra careful in what I say, my behaviour in general. That is vital to mantain a normal life. If I don't control what my innerside like to be, probably I wouldn't be able to stay in balance. Stress nanti. Mmg kene byk sabar dan let go. There r many time I have to say to myself'biar lah..semoga Allah memberikan hidayahNya' . I would like to share : It's about someone who never fail to let me down whenever she/he see me..ada2 saja kata2nya yg bisa membelahkan hati ini. Haiii manusia oh manusia, sayang sungguh..ilmu yg tinggi yg ada padanya habis lebur begitu shj jika fiil tidak selari dgn ajaran Islam. Rasa hormat sy pdnya sdh hilang, yg tinggal ialah persepsi kelabu shj.I'm so sorry, sometime kita tak dpt lari dari merasa geram dan marah, sedih pon ada. malah, sy pernah menangis krn the polan ini.. Tp, itulah..last2 doakan shj agar Allah memberi hidayahNya. tak taulah nanti bagaimana bongkaknya si polan tu, bila dah berpangkat..
Ya Allah, tetapkan imanku pd Mu, hindarkan aku dari sifat hitam dan keji dan sucikan hatiku dari sifat mazmumah yg kau Murkai.Ameen.
Rasanya ini shj entry saya hari ini. Heheh..post yg agak melampau kot. Tapi, kena jugak luahkan. Setelah sekian lama ku pendam.
Ok till we meet again, see you soon, very very soon.

Chemotheraphy and Me.
Salam Ramadhan;
Alhamdulillah, dah pon ri isnin, 6 Ramadhan 1431H. Pengalaman berpuasa di rantauan yg bakal menjd kenangan. It is not as bad as we thought. When I asked my kids, how do you feel fasting 17hrs straight? They said, 'we're just fine.' But the English friends said that we never be able to finish it completely'. So, I said, 'now you know that we can do anything if we want to'.
Lamanya saya tidak menyambung rungkaian memori silam sewaktu berperang dgn penyakit Lupus. Maksud saya, sekian byk entries lately berkisar tentang kehidupan sekarang. Ok, kali ini saya akan back to the old time..
Lokasi: Kampus Skudai. Bandar JB. 17 yrs ago.
Sesi kemo yang seterusnya berjalan setiap 3 bulan. Maka, apabila tiba hari Jumaat itu, pagi2 lg sy keluar ke bus stop, stop at the hospt,n then berjln menuju ke Heamodialisis Centre. Di situ lah sy sabar menjlni kemo dan tamat slps 6jam. Sepanjang tempoh itu, badan sy ok jer. Masa last2 tu rasa dah lalok dan ngantuk.Yg sakit pulak biler di cucuk jarum(IV) sebyk 2 jarum di bahgian tgn utk 2 liquid masuk. Sakit krn kdg2 kedudukan jarum sepjg 2cm tu di bwh kulit selama 6 jam menyebbkan sy terpaksa mengawal pergerakan tgn. Suasana bilik rawatan sgt lah sejuknyer, sampaikan sy menggigil. Sy fikir ianya utk mengawal suhu mesin dialisis(pesakit lain) dan darah yg keluar masuk ke badan kami serta suhu bdan pesakit sendiri. Satu yg saya tak tahan a'bila sampai masa ke toilet, terpaksa la membawa bersama ubat drip tu (botol yg disangkut). Sesungguhnya, sy fikir saat itulah yg amat menguji tahap kesabaran saya. Alhamdulillah, telah selesai dan selamat melaluinya sebyk 10 kali dlm masa 2 tahun.
Hair loss ialah perkara yg biasa terjd pd pesakit yg menjalani kemo. Ada juga kwn2 yg bertanya kemana hilangnya rambut sy,..maka sy ceritakan ttg ubatan yg sy ambil tanpa menyebut perkataan 'kemo'. Rambut yg tinggal 'sejemput' tu tentulah membuatkan sy risau :) so, sy ambil keputusan utk memotong nya , kasi adjust lah sikit. Kalau tak,ia kelihatan spt di gigit tikus ..!! Situasi itu disbbkan olh reaction drugs trhdp badan. Lama kelamaan, selepas kemo ke 7, rambut sy mula tumbuh dan kelihatan spt biasa.
Doktor juga menasihatkan saya spy jgn mengandung dlm tempoh 2 tahun selepas rawatan kemo. Itu langsung tak jadik masalah kerana saya sendri masih single ketika itu :)) Lain2 hal, tidak ada yg serius kecuali sentiasa hadir semasa hari follow up dan makan ubat. Aktiviti kelas kuliah n tutorial serta labworks sy jalankan spt biasa. Malah, saya rasakan diri ini spt siswi yg lain juga, tak dek kurang atau lebih. Cuma, yg sy ingat saya harus mengawal emosi spy tidak terjebak dlm situasi yg rumit yg mana boleh akibatkan stress. Sy mintak maaf ketika itu sy sengaja mengasingkan diri dari kelompok kawan2 biasa. Kita lbh memahami apa yg kita mahukan, jd, sy byk bergerak secara independently. Matlamat saya ketika itu ialah, tenangkan fikiran dan fokuskan pada study disamping meneruskan rawatan. Hanya beberapa kwn rapat yg boleh memahami keadaan saya, dan pd mrk lah sy mengadu apabila perlu.
Dear friends,
spt sy jelaskan dlm entry sblm ini, stress yg berlebihan boleh mendtgkan kesan buruk kepd sy. Akhir2 ini, sudah ramai yg aware ttg isu stress dlm kehidupan seharian. Cuma yg tak sedap nya, ada juga notti people yg sengaja menjadikan term 'stress' itu sendiri sbg bhn lawak dlm perbualan mrk. Jaga2..anda belum kena penangan stress, dan ketika itu barulah anda tahu bhw adakah sepatutnya 'stress' itu diambil sebagai 'amaran' dan 'tindakan' atau 'gurauan'.
Till we meet again, see you soon, very very soon.Selamat berpuasa, tingkatkan kesabaran.

Has anyone seen my prescription slip??
Salam to all;
Lazy sunday. What a word to start this post ..huh..:) Everyone in the house is doing well. except the lil, is being energytic, as usual. Just done with her meal of noodle(semlm nyer).
My jobs had already settled. I think. Laundry, done. Cooking, done. Resting..done..!!
Just cook one meal today as we still got the leftover, lamb khuzzi carried forward from yesterday break-fast. Nak cerita psl semalam..terasa nakkk sgt mkn lamb khuzi from Babylon/Kurdistan. tak tau lah kenapa. Sejak hari jUmaat lg. Tp, my other half ckp beli tapau jer, lg pon serving nyer mmg byk, tak terhabis mkn kat kedai. Alkisah, maka pergilah beliau bersama 2 org anakku mencari lamb khuzzi. Alhamdulillah, dpt la kami makan. Lamb khuzi 4 pack each(lamb, nasik), siap ngan 2 lauk (ogra n aurbegen)+ 4 kpg roti yg sgt ler besar.
Makan punya makan, tak terabis tinggal satu pack lamb n roti. So, bole le join lauk lain utk break-fast ri ni. Err,.. kat mesia tak gheti nak mkn lamb ni sumer, kat cni dah terbiasa n the kids dah tak pandang lauk ayam klu ada lamb.
Opppss..ada stu lg keje saya yg belom siap. Sejak hari Khamis lagi, blom gak settle. Mencari prescription slip utk daily tablet. Camno nih? Stok ubat dah nak abis,kena antor cpt kat GP nih. Urusan amik ubat kat cni ialah, lengkapkan prescription slip dan antar ker GP(clinic) utk diapprovekan olh doctor. Then , g semula clinic utk amik dan juga prescription utk amik ubat yg seterusnya. Then, amik ubat tu kat farmasi. In my case, we need to pay some money for the medicine.
Ini lah ubat steriod harian saya, selama 17 thn.. Prednisolone. The other one is Adcal-D3. Adcal-D3 pula berfungsi utk mengurangkan kesan sampingan dr steriod ini iaitu osteoporesis.
For me, taking the medicine as advised is very important. Walaupon kekadang terasa amat lah malas + liat nak telan ubat. Sekurang2 nya 2 kali sehari. Bayangkan 17tahun mengadap ubat ni. Ya ALlah, hanya tuhan yg tau. Nampak senang sgt, tp sebnrnya susah sbb dah lamaaa sgt kena makn ubat. Anyway, itu mmg keje saya kan. Dgn ubat ini lah yg telah berjaya mengawal kesakitan saya, terutama ketika peringkat permulaan dulu. Hebat, sgt hebat..walhal para doctor sendiri tidak pasti bagaimana mekanisme reaction ubat ini dlm mengawal Lupus-:) . Kerja telan ubat ni mmg tak boleh tinggal, ke mana2 sentiasa pastikan ubat ada dlm henbag. Ya, sy juga tau ubat ni mmg memberi kesan sampingan ..yg hebat juga. Setiap masa sy membawa 'steroid card', incase terjd suatu yg tidak dijangka. Dgn adanya steroid card ini akan membantu pihak hospital pd waktu kecemasan yg mungkin berlaku pd saya.
There was an incident where the lady yg keje kat farmasi kat spital(ms nak g amik ubat) asked me to turn to alternative methods to cure the illness and forget the steroid. Hmmm.. How could i response?

Active Mode :)
Salam to all;
Salam Ramadhan 1431H. So, it has been a week I put this blog on 'pause-mode'. hehe..actually not saying i'm too lazy. but enuff to say i was abit lazy...kui2
Last weekend was a fab one where we went to Robin Hood Festival at Sherwood Forest. That was a fantastic day indeed. In a way, my kids got to experience the beauty of greenery forest, how to climb up tree (tak tinggi mana pon) and the smell of the wild fern and being inside the hallow tress. Thumbs up to the authority who has given the full effort to preserve this legendary place. Please kindly surf any website related to Sherwood Forest. It is believed that this is the place of RobinHood, the legendary warrior. Betul atau tidak, itu bukan the main point laa. But, honestly I do enjoy our trip. Hmmm...it take me back to my childhood. tika bermain2 di dlm kebun dan semak samun..membelek2 pokok paku pakis. Yer lah, kan kat sekolah cikgu ajar salah satu mekanisme pembiakan ialah spora kat bahagian bawah daun pakis..:))
On Monday, we had a simple small gathering as to celebrate my princess birthday. Coincendenly her birthday falls on 1 Ramadhan 1431H, so, we thought that it will safe me from any 'risk' if we do it two days earlier. In fact she doesnt bother about the exact date..! To make it happen, I worked hard in the kitchen since early in morning, preparing the dishes..2 of them. Too many things to do, so I didn't have any spare time to think of tiredness. Hihi.. Finally,we had a crowd filled in our not-so-big house and enjoyed the meals. Thankfully everything went smooth. All I feel was a big relief and gladness to see the guests made themselves at home. Gembira krn apa yg dirancang berjln dgn baik sekali.
We started 1 Ramadhan on Wednesday. Everybody stayed under control. Lgpon ini kan cuti sekolah, cuaca pon marvellous. The first day tu kami berbuka puasa beramai2 bersama2 6 family yg lain. Hebat, semua juadah tidak ada kurang nya dgn org Malaysia di sana:)). Setiap hari kami berpuasa dlm 17jam. start from 4am to 8.46pm.
And today, just now I went to a short group conversation with other women (HELWA), talking about Breast Cancer. Fortunately we had managed to invite a special person who is breast cancer patient herself, come straightway from Nottingham. The brave lady has definitely able to deliver her survival with us as expected. Yeapp, for me, it's not difficult to dive down into her heart, to feel the painful inside. And also, I do understand why does she look so calm and sweet despite of a series of flashing back her hardship in battling the cancer. Maha Suci Allah, apa yang diturunkan olehNya, diberikan juga kekuatan kpd hambaNya yg mana tidak tergambar olh hamba2Nya yg lain. Maka, sekiranya ada yg menganggap golongan 'berpenyakit' ini adalh insan malang, itu adalah sama sekali tidak benar. Kami lebih kuat spiritually dan juga kerana mampu redha ke atas apa jua ujian yg diturunkan.
Till we meet again, see you soon, very very soon. Selamat Berpuasa.!

Sentimental Saturday.
Salam to all;
Sabtu yang ditunggu. Kenapa? Tak der pape, tentulah excited tibanya hari minggu kan.
Hari ini bangun pagi dgn sdkt berat. Berat di kepala. Malam td tidur kurang menjadi. hmm...
Seawal pg lagi, hubby dan anak sulong bersiap utk keluar. Hari ini ada event di Sheffield City; 'Imegresen Day' bermula daripd 8am-1pm. Event ini dihadiri oleh Mobile Imegeresen office bertujuan utk memudahkan urusan membuat passport dan lain2 hal berkaitan. Especially pd keluarga yg baru menimang cahaya mata dan perlu mebuat passport utk si kecil. Aikkkk..! Kenapa plak hubby sy perlu ke sana? Hehe , don get me wrong.. Sbnrnya beliau yg bertanggung jwb mengelolakan event ini. Kalau tak dtg awal, alamaknya tergendala aturcara majlis tsbt. Di sana juga terdpt gerai2 (Malaysian Baazar). Jd, akan memberi keselesaan kpd pengunjung yg mana bukan shj dari Sheffield, malah dr kwsn sekitar spt Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool dan Nottingham mencari juadah sarapan dan mkn tghr. Tak ketinggalan pengunjung daripada penduduk setempat yg sekadar ingin menjengah ke gerai2 masakan Malaysia.
Following to the previous entry, my heart keep wandering to the oldies. My O my, how i wish I could back to kampong at instant! This heart fall to the place where I belong. Though my childhood was a challenging one but it has brought me up to a person I am now. I have nothing to regret thou it was not a sweet one. I miss the time where I woke up early in the morning with kokokan ayam yg bersahutan. Kicauan burung n rama rama berterbangan kdg2 mencuri masuk ke dlm rumah papan itu. I can still smell very distinguish smell; it's like bauan tanah yg dibakar. Well, actually, arwah atuk n nenek mengerjakan kebun, so, mrk membuat baja bakar dan bhn bakarnya ialah semak2, rumput, daun2 kayu. Yg didapati setelah kebun dibersihkan sblm bercucuk tanam. Kebun tbt disekeliling to the house. Tahu sj lah rumah kampong, ada luas kawasan disekitarnya. JUga ada pokok2 rambutan, duku langsat dan rambai ..alahai..rindunya.
Saya ketika itu masih bersekolah rendah. Suka benar menjejak mrk ke kebun. Memerhatikan mrk menyangkul, membuat batas dan menggembur tanah. Kemudian, kerja semaian dilakukan di sertai baja. Kadang2 saya menolong, hehe..tp lebih bermain rasanya. Apabila pokok mulai besar, penjagaan lbh teliti dilakukan. Jika pokok mentimun dan petola, harus dipacak 'junjung', spy dapat menyusur ke atas.
Menjelang tghr, mereka berehat seketika. Sambil itu, arwah nenek akan menjengah ke arah jalan, kalau2 penjaja ikan bermotor lalu dihdpn rumah kami.Dpt lah membeli ikan utk dibuat lauk. Saya masih ingat, ikan yg popular dibelinya ialah ikan selayang dimasak singgang dan digoreng. Makan bersama sambal belacan+ pauh muda, dimakan dgn nasik panas dapur kayu.. mmg mengancam, sehingga kini tiada yg dpt menandingi kehebatan menu tsbt.
Jika ada penjual aiskrim pula, kdg2 mrk belikan aiskrim loli ( yg pjng tu). Utk mengelak dari berebut, aiskrim dipotong dgn parang atau sabit mrk. Maka dptlah kami menikmati aiskrim sirap tu. Mmmm lazatnya, makan aiskrim dikala panas mentari.
Aduhh..kenapa lah sentimental sgt akhir2nya. Walau kemana sekalipon sy berada, samada di kota atau di luarnegara, hati saya tetap di situ. Ingin menetap di situ. Ada sesuatu yg mengikatnya...
Till we meet again, see you soon, very very soon. Take care. have a wonderful weekend.

Jd, akan memberi keselesaan kpd pengunjung yg mana bukan shj dari Sheffield, malah dr kwsn sekitar spt Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool dan Nottingham mencari juadah sarapan dan mkn tghr. Tak ketinggalan pengunjung daripada penduduk setempat yg sekadar ingin menjengah ke gerai2 masakan Malaysia.
Following to the previous entry, my heart keep wandering to the oldies. My O my, how i wish I could back to kampong at instant! This heart fall to the place where I belong. Though my childhood was a challenging one but it has brought me up to a person I am now. I have nothing to regret thou it was not a sweet one. I miss the time where I woke up early in the morning with kokokan ayam yg bersahutan. Kicauan burung n rama rama berterbangan kdg2 mencuri masuk ke dlm rumah papan itu. I can still smell very distinguish smell; it's like bauan tanah yg dibakar. Well, actually, arwah atuk n nenek mengerjakan kebun, so, mrk membuat baja bakar dan bhn bakarnya ialah semak2, rumput, daun2 kayu. Yg didapati setelah kebun dibersihkan sblm bercucuk tanam. Kebun tbt disekeliling to the house. Tahu sj lah rumah kampong, ada luas kawasan disekitarnya. JUga ada pokok2 rambutan, duku langsat dan rambai ..alahai..rindunya.
Saya ketika itu masih bersekolah rendah. Suka benar menjejak mrk ke kebun. Memerhatikan mrk menyangkul, membuat batas dan menggembur tanah. Kemudian, kerja semaian dilakukan di sertai baja. Kadang2 saya menolong, hehe..tp lebih bermain rasanya. Apabila pokok mulai besar, penjagaan lbh teliti dilakukan. Jika pokok mentimun dan petola, harus dipacak 'junjung', spy dapat menyusur ke atas.
Menjelang tghr, mereka berehat seketika. Sambil itu, arwah nenek akan menjengah ke arah jalan, kalau2 penjaja ikan bermotor lalu dihdpn rumah kami.Dpt lah membeli ikan utk dibuat lauk. Saya masih ingat, ikan yg popular dibelinya ialah ikan selayang dimasak singgang dan digoreng. Makan bersama sambal belacan+ pauh muda, dimakan dgn nasik panas dapur kayu.. mmg mengancam, sehingga kini tiada yg dpt menandingi kehebatan menu tsbt.
Jika ada penjual aiskrim pula, kdg2 mrk belikan aiskrim loli ( yg pjng tu). Utk mengelak dari berebut, aiskrim dipotong dgn parang atau sabit mrk. Maka dptlah kami menikmati aiskrim sirap tu. Mmmm lazatnya, makan aiskrim dikala panas mentari.
Aduhh..kenapa lah sentimental sgt akhir2nya. Walau kemana sekalipon sy berada, samada di kota atau di luarnegara, hati saya tetap di situ. Ingin menetap di situ. Ada sesuatu yg mengikatnya...
Till we meet again, see you soon, very very soon. Take care. have a wonderful weekend.

Al Fatihah.
Salam to all;
Hari hari Jumaat yg mulia menjengah lagi. Baru shj selesai bersembang santai dgn anak bujang mengenai topik tauhid. Saya faham bhw bukan senang mengajak anak2 bersembang mengenai hal keagamaan. Kerana, outcome yg kita mahu ialah kefahaman dan serta kepecayaan mereka yg utuh terhdp perihal ghaib ini. Semestinya menuntut kesabaran yg tinggi. Maklumlah, anak2 disini lbh menjurus kpd ajaran; 'u believe what u see'. Satu hal lagi, mrk sukar mengingati terma2 yg biasa kita gunakan. Contoh mudah 'menunaikan puasa SEBULAN di bulan Ramadhan' di sebut; ' menunaikan puasa SEBELUM bulan Ramadhan.' :o_0: Maka, terpaksa lah sy menggunakan Manglish, spy sampai apa yg dimaksudkan.
Saya terkenang di waktu saya kecil, seawal 5 tahun lagi telah didedahkan dgn tazkirah dari arwah atuk. Pengisiannya meliputi soal akidah, sejarah, ibadah, dan sebagainya sbg asas kepercayaan seorg muslim. Pendengar setianya ialah arwah nenek, kami adikberadik serta anak2nya yg lain. Telah menjd kelaziman, solat maghrib dan solat Isya' dilakukan berjemaah. Tidak boleh tidak. Arwah sgt tegas sbg ketua keluarga. Tiada siapa yg ingkar. Sementara menunggu masuk waktu isya', kami dihidangkan dgn tazkirah. Meskipun ketika itu sy terlalu kecil utk memahami setiap butir perkara yg dibincangkan, tetapi kini sy merasa sgt bertuah krn menjd cucu arwah. Pengajaran daripada sesi tazkirah tersebut yg byk membantu sy menjd insan Muslim. Malah dgn pengetahuan itu, sy dpt menjwb soalan subjek agama di sekolah dgn baik sekali.
Biasanya selepas selesai solat maghrib dan doa, maka saya mula menghafal rukun islan, iman, sifat2 Allah, hukum syarak, nama2 malaikat dan byk lagi hukum hakam atas arahan arwah. Setelah selesai semua hafalan, barulah beliau membuka topik tazkirah utk malam itu. Kdg2 tu sampai berbuih juga mulut sy dan mengambil masa agak lama; ttp beliau menunggu dgn tenang shj. begitulah amalam kami sekeluarga setiap malam. Selepas selesai solat Isya' berjemaah dan bersalaman, barulah kami beredar utk makan malam dan menonton tv.
Kini arwah sudah tiada lagi. Tetapi arwah sering hadir dlm mimpi sy. Beliau meninggalkan dunia fana' ini sewaktu kandungan anak sulong sy berusia sebulan ( yg kini berusia 10 thn). Ketika itu sy di Skudai dan berita kematian arwah sy terima sewaktu di dlm kereta dlm perjln pulang menziarahi arwah yg sdg tenat di kampong. Khabarnya raut muka arwah ketika dikafankan kelihatan tenang & tersenyum spt sedang tidur nyenyak. Para hadirin tidak dpt menahan daripada menitis airmata. Ini kerana arwah seorg yg insan yg wajar mendapat pujian dr segi sikap sbg seorg sahabat, jiran, ketua keluarga dan seorg yg amat cintakan ilmu. Majlis kenduri arwah berlamgsung selama 7 malam yg mendpt kehadiran yg bertambah ramai dari hari ke hari.
Semasa hayatnya, setiap kali saya menziarahi arwah (sewaktu pulang bercuti ke kg), jika tidak arwah menguruskan kebun atau ternakan, tentu shj arwah dilihat bersama buku2 dan kitab2nya. Semmgnya arwah dikenali sbg ulat buku, dan tidak kedekut mengeluarkan duit membeli buku. Jgn terperanjat, sbnrnya hanyalah bekerja kampung shj, malah bersekolah pondok setakat sederhana shj. tetapi kecintaannya tdhp ilmu mmg tiada batasan, malah arwah lah insan yg mendorong anak cucunya mendaki puncak ilmu hingga ke tangga teratas. Masih terngiang di pendengaran saya sewaktu tazkirah beliau ' tuntulah ilmu dari buaian ke liang lahad' dan 'tuntutlah ilmu hingga ke negeri China (siin)'.
Mengingati semua kenangan ini walau sesaat bisa meruntuh benteng airmata saya. Tiada apa yg dpt sy katakn, sedih yg teramat trhdp kehilangan itu. Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat dan mengangkat rohnya ke dlm golongan yg tinggi darjat di sisiNya. AlFatihah buat Haji Abdullah b Yusoff. Alfatihah.
Dan setiap kali juga saya berbincang hal agama dgn anak2 sy, tergambar kenangan itu. Cumanya situasi sekrg sudah jauh berbeza dan saya harus menggunakan pelbagai skill yg ada utk menarik minat mrk. Selain itu, doa2 pelembut hati dititipkan spy anaka2 mudah menerima nya. InsyaAllah.

Menunggu Tibanya Ramadhan.
Salam to all
Today is 4 August 2010 / 23 Sha'aban 1431H. More or less a week more, we will be welcoming The Holy Month; Ramadhan AlMubarak. This is our 3rd Ramadhan since we've been here. This year as we know, time for break-fast are expected to come later than last year. Now it is still summer and according to the prayer schedule, Maghrib will be about 8.43pm on the first Ramadhan. It is understood that for the first two weeks, maghrib will not earlier than 8.10pm. As it changes quite rapidly (about 3-5min daily), sooner it will reach 7.37pm on the last day of Ramadhan.
We hope we will be able to carry out our obligations smoothly. Luckily it's school break (until 9 sept), I hope my children will able to complete Ramadhan successfully. Although the length of day light is longer and sahur is before 3am on the first day and before 4am on the last day, we are hoping for the best. The weather indeed helps much to prevent us from feeling too thirsthy and tired.
How were our Ramadhan here, thousands miles away from hometown? Ahaaa..at the first I admit that was not easy. not easy at all. I have an interesting story during first Ramadhan in Sheffield. We actually landed at Manchester Airport on 25th of Ramadhan in 2007. It was 4th October 2007 and the weather was so colddd for us who are the first time come to UK. And 5 days later, Eid came ...I was sooo sad. I still can remember how difficult the situation.. struggling and trying hard to settle down. Kalau2 diingatkan mmg sukar hidup kami ketika itu..Semua tinggal kenangan , bila melihat keadaan kami sekrg, rs sgt bersyukur krn diberikan kekuatan menghadapi semua kesulitan itu. Syukur Ya Allah.
Sepertimana Ramadhan yg lalu, kami berharap segala amal ibadah berjalan lancar, diberikan kekuatan utk menepis dugaan dan cabaran mendatang. Juga berdoa agar diri kami lebih bersemangat utk hari2 seterusnya selepas Ramdhan. Ibarat menyucikan diri rohani dan jasmani.
Selalunya di bulan Ramadhan, saya mengubah waktu untuk mengambil tablet harian. Kerana itu, amat penting tidak terlupa makan ubat setiap kali selepas berbuka. Pernah sekali sy terlupa mengambil tablet (pd ms itu makan ubat waktu sahur), akibat nyer menjelang petang,kepala saya pusing.. macam tak balance, rs kosong saja. Alhamdulillah, sampai juga waktu berbuka dan cepat2 makan ubat harian tsbt. Peristiwa tsbt sgt memberi pengajaran. so, tukar makan ubat selepas berbuka, lebih selamat :)
Kepada semua, Selamat Bersedia utk menyambut Ramahdhan AlMubarak. Marilah kita saling bermaafan, tinggalkan hati yang hitam dan sucikannya menjadi putih bersih agar amal ibadah dpt kita laksanakan dgn khusyuk dan tawadhuk. Seterusnya moga2 ia diterima oleh Allah s.w.t.
Till we meet again, see you soon very2 soon.

Teeth thingy.
Salam to all,
Cheer up every one!
Sun seems abit friendly today despite of a flash of grey sky. Ok3, i got it, laundry time mummy..! It's tuesday and we need to go to dentist for my princess's first visit to dentist. The parent looked more worry along the way to the dental. She keep begging to us, ''i dont want to see dentist''. No compromise, my dear. There were quite some imperfect nights because of the toothache complaints from you lately, so, the best is to see your dentist. -:. We're actully afraid she would turn out bad mood and cry in the treatment room. Alhamdulillah, during the treatment everything went so well. Well done Sweetheart:) Except she looked abviously nervous and sit still without any reactions..keras kaku kejung baring atas kerusi ..kikikik..
Talking about dental treatment, it is an interesting topic in relation with Lupus. tell u what, I was being refused from dental treatment cabut gigi) several times. This happened in Malaysia and in UK as well. I was told to go back ando come again the next day..Why?
I happened to have toothache a few times. It's not a surprise for a long time steroid consumer like me. As one of the side effects of taking steroids is, it could lower the body ability to absorb and retain the Calcium which is important element to build a strong teeth and bones.
There was one day I went to see dentist(Malaysia) and he noticed that he need to take out the bad tooth. Knowing that I take steroid daily and a Lupus patient, I was asked to come again the next day. and 'don't forget to take double dose of steroid before u come..!' The reason is I might fell unconcious or faint during the procedure of taking out the tooth. Kelakar kan. Kata my dentist, itu sudah menjadi amalan (practice) dentist kerana proses mencabut gigi itu boleh menyumbang stress kpd pesakit Lupus. Dijangka pesakit Lupus tdk dpt cope up with that kinda stress so, boleh menybbkan pesakit pengsan. With double dose of steroid, hopefully effect stress itu dpt dikurangkan. Sounds ridicilous. Tp my dentist said, it's not a joke, Ya, beliau pernah mengalami situasi dimana pesakit Lupus pengsan ketika beliau melakukan prosedure tsbt. Kebetulan beliau juga mempunyai ibusaudara yg merupakan pesakit Lupus so, beliau faham akan situasi Lupus patients thus menasihatkan sy spy akur pd nasihatnya.
Di UK ini, sy pernah mengalami sakit gigi yg amat sgt. Puncanya simple shj, sy menggigit cekodok bilis yg agak crispy.(mkn ala2 gelojoh -:D) Seblh malamnya, sakit gigi menyerang tak tertahan. Sapa2 yg pernah mengalaminya tentu faham 'kesiksaan' jiwa raga..Memandangkan di UK ni, dental visit hanyalah berdasarkan appointment dgn klinik gigi panel, maka, utk kes gigi mengejut ni tiada cara lain kecuali menghubungi bahagian emergency(dental). Untuk mendaptkan slot rawatan tsbt pula bukanlah mudah. Hanya setelah mrk yakin bhw kita benar2 sakit dan dirasakn layak utk berjumpa dentist(thru phone call observation) barulah diberikan emergency appointment tsbt. Akhirnya, sy dibenarkan berjumpa dentist..lega.., dgn sakit yg tak tertahan maka saya bergegas ke satu dental yg agak jauh dr rumah. Apabila di periksa, dentist tsbt mengatakan gigi geraham sy telah terbelah dua.! dan sebelah darinya telah pon bergoyang(hampir tercabut) dan itulah punca kesakitan yg berdenyut2 tak terkira. Tetapi, yg sebelah lagi, still teguh di situ. So, beliau mengambil keputusan utk mencabut gigi tsbt. To my surprise, beliau hanya mencabut bahagian yg bergoyang shj, manakala sebelah lagi di biarkan dentist panel sy sendiri yg mencabutnya.! Dgn alasan, saya mengidap Lupus maka, beliau tidak mengambil apa2 risiko (risau kot sy pengsan di situ, parah juga krn sy bukan pesakit (dental)nya). Heeiii sabor jer lah...Maka, sy akhirnya pulang dgn sebelah gigi yg masih utuh itu..dan sakit gigi pun hilang slps sebelah yg goyang tu di cabut. A few days later baru ler gigi yg sebelah lagi tu selamat dikorbankan :)
Hhmm..Cabut gigi pon boleh dtgkan stress? Adakah ini satu kenyataan atau terlebih under estimate thdp daya tahan pensakit Lupus terhdap stress? Not sure if any other patients experiece the same. But anyway, just follow the rules. I hv nothing to complaint about it. Imagine how fragile us to stress. Krn itu, sy amat menjauhi stress. or at least try to reduce it. And always remember that,sy sendri pon boleh jadi pembawa virus stress pd org lain, so, be fair to everyone-:) Just Be a nice gal.
Till we meet again, see you soon, very2 soon...Take care.

Stress.
Salam to all,
Here comes brand new Monday. And without you know it it's Friday..! How time flies. I wish I could be the one who be able to make all the days perfectly. Yes, every time before I sleep, one question echoing inside is ' had you done it as you wish?'
Satisfaction and perfectionist. Which one do I take in life? Knowing that we're HUMAN BEING, there is no way of a perfect job done. Satisfaction would be more or less suitable for a person like me. NOt saying that I'm not aiming for the best, but at least it would slower down our level of stressful feeling. STRESSful and PERFECTIONIST will never get apart. Am I right. People who aim for the best or the excellence job amongst the bests are working under pressure. The goodness is they will gain a high impact of satisfaction IF they could reach the aim. The bad side is.. you definitely know the answer ..!
In an organisation where there are people who admit, 'I'm perfectionist. That's why I want all things are being carried out at their best, no defect and job must done under the best management. They must be carried out base from my own decision and no objection from others' These kinda of situation will then create a humiliate situation to the people around you. When the tense takes place and surrounds the air, where could you find a warmth and friendly conversation? Undoubtly, the feeling stressful is one of the products from the situation. And unfortunately, it's not an easy way to get us out from it. I believe many of us had have experience with stress, not only from the workplace but maybe from social life and from the family.
Nowadays, stress management has become a hit topic among people. Whether you belive or not, stressful feeling may have influenced our daily life. It could be serious discussion for it leads to something bad such as changes in behaviour, the eating style and social life. Therefore, we must know a right way to deal with stress or we may put our life in a fragile state.
I keen to write about STRESS and life mainly because one of the trigger factors of Lupus is stress. And based from my experience, I'd say I took a lot of stress before I happened to realise something wrong with my body. **Note that this is my own experience, so, it should not be taken as a general referral.
Dear friend,
Having said that stress and Lupus are linked together, Lupus patients do need a lot of moral support built in their mind. In fact, my personal view is; to get a better days ahead, I 'd rather choose a fine comfy days for me. Taking thing positively and neglecting nonsense things are vital. I have to say that it is very important. It takes sometime to get to use with this, I mean I used to be different person previously...:p
Honestly, Lupus has already changes my life and my attitude to life. I feel that I had have become better person, more calmly and improved the way I take things ..! That's the good of having Lupus.
Nevertherless, stress is always there. And you know that there are people who work unders stress. The harmful is only when it's too much to take. Make sure we adapt a proper stress menagement.
That's all folks for today.Hmmm..sambil tulis ni tetiba rs sedikit stress. Quite serious writing..hhehee.
Till we meet again, see you soon. very very soon.

Nevertherless, stress is always there. And you know that there are people who work unders stress. The harmful is only when it's too much to take. Make sure we adapt a proper stress menagement.
That's all folks for today.Hmmm..sambil tulis ni tetiba rs sedikit stress. Quite serious writing..hhehee.
Till we meet again, see you soon. very very soon.

Salam to all.
It's first of August on a cool and light rainy day. Not much activity can be done on this kinda weather. Here, weather influences us much on planning activities. For a simple example, drying our washing. If it's not a fair day, that's mean our house will be heater-on. Heater-on means, increasing the eletricity bill. This would cause a tight budget on something else. How it correlates to other aspects in our life..Life becomes tougher during autumn, spring and winter. Even more tougher to a big family like us.
Dear friends,
Regarding to this blog, once again I mean to make it as simple and clear as it should be. As I am a Lupus patient, my aim here is to share my experience living with the illness since 17 years ago. For your information, I am now declared on remission state (free from the symptoms) thus I think it's best time to write something about it to public and get to know others patients as well. It's such a valuable apportunity if any of you (weather with Lupus or not) could share your words here. We might have different way of thinking in any topic written here. Because this illness has really changed our attitude to life at least in few aspects..! I also would like to let you know that my hard times started when I was in university. It was a long time ago. So, when I write about the hardship battling with the illness, it is actually a flashback to old memory unless I write it otherwise. At the moment, I am now in stable condition and able to carry out daily routine and look as fit as you. But once it's Lupus, it's always will be. It is like I'm given a second life. Having free from the symptoms is such a huge victory for me, hence motivates and drives me to write this blog. Not to mention, many of my entries are talking about my current daily life, living thousands miles away from my hometown. There is always something to write, whether is Lupus matter or not, hopefully it will benefit us all.
This entry is just to recall the aim of this blog. Especially to those who just dropped in. My special thanks to the followers and the readers, friends and who ever read this blog. Really really appreciate it.
Till we meet again, see you soon, very very soon. Take care !
