Grumpy.. grumpy..

Credit : Google

Hmm... ok.. he is being a little grumpy today!

Tak suka, x suka, x suka!

I pun x sure the exact reason la. Butttt...... what i can think of is because I came back home late.  Well, xde la lambat tapi I was not home yet when he was back from work.  Sayang i ni jenis kalau dia balik rumah, nak isteri kesayangan dia ni sambut.  Masa time keja dulu pun, dia balik keja, I dah balik (sebab balik ngan dia, lol!), so time jadi homemaker ni lagi la dia expect I ada kat umah time dia balik.  Yelah, everyday ada nescafe and roti bakar tersedia bila dia balik... arini xde.. tu yang sikit hangin kot!

Ye ye, I paham.. tapi alaaa sayang... i bukan gi mana pun, gi umah mama je. And petang tadi cam pening sikit tu yg baring dulu kat sana. Huhuhuhu...

Tak mo la marah... cak! cak!

Hmm, he is still in his silent mode.  Boring tul la.. mula2 i still tanya dia few things.  Kalau dah cakap 10 patah, jawabnya sepatah... hmmm xpe la.. malas nak cakap lagi... baik dok diam2 depan lappy ni....  nanti bila dia nak cakap pandai la dia cakap.. kan? kan?

Alaaaaaaa.... easy said than done! I cannot... i cannot.... uwaaaaaa.... nak cakap gak ngan dia... hik hik... dah la tgk keadaan camni.. banyak je benda nak citer... benci.. benci... huhuhuhu...

Tak pasal2 i yg emo ok! Nak2 nyer hormon emo tu mmg terlebih skrg kan... :(

p/s:  Dulu pnh nak pujuk dia, ajak fluffy dok depan dia and nyanyi lagu "maafkan kami... maafkan kami..." cam dalam citer Seniman Bujang Lapok tu.  Berjaya la gak... tapi arini cam xde mood la nak pujuk dia... i pun sedeh... nak tido la... :(

PPUM : 1st visit

Subahanallah.. what a beauty!
Right after my appointment at KJMC, I straight away called the gynae at PPUM and made an appointment.  Alhamdulillah Dr Sofi said I could come on that Friday itself.

It was not that bad that Friday, patients were not so many as any other days.  And my turn to see Dr Sofi was actually quite fast.  I was in there for about an hour juga la. lama kan. Totally satisfied!  We went through all the details about my experiences.  U know, about the ttc journey, bout previous miscarriage and eventually the current pregnancy.  Dr Sofi is very detailed.  She jotted down all the dates and events in a chronological order. Told her every single thing that she needed to know.. and of cos my worries too!

After that, we went for a scanning.  Told her that I would prefer to do the transvaginal scanning (tvs) instead of abdominal scanning.  She said ok, but nevertheless, we would try the abdominal scanning 1st.  Ok doc!

As expected, abdominal scanning mmg x nampak la. Probably my bladder was not that full or that the fats at my belly is so thick that the scan could not get through.. hahahhha.  So eventually we did the tvs. Dalam hati selawat and berzikir and berdoa semoga semuanya selamat.

Then suddenly Dr Sofi was like:

"Haa.. tu baby.. dah ada heartbeat pun. Mummy risau sgt ni.."

and i terus tgk screen and tanya doc "Mana heartbeat doc"

"Tu yang flick laju2 tu, npk x?"

"Ha'ah nampak.. alhamdulillah..... syukur..." sambil berlinang airmata.

Ya Allah, syukur alhamdulillah. Ya Allah, Kau pelihara lah kandungan ku, baby ku semoga sihat dan selamat. Amin.

Dr Sofi kata  sekarang 7 weeks plus.  Alhamdulillah.  Went back to her room after the scan since scanning room is in another room.  We discussed on my diet and meals. Do's and don'ts.

Seriously bersyukur sgt sebab dpt jumpa Doc Sofi.  Memang best! I was in her room for about 1 hour.  Previously kalau jumpa gynae mmg kejap2 je. nak cakap or tanya pun laju2 sbb diorg mcm rush nak jumpa patients lain kan. But with Dr Sofi I can actually tell her everything. And she listened very patiently.  Suka suka suka!  Dr Sofi ni boleh dikira sbg my cousin juga la kot.  Her uncle marries my aunt. So kitorg ni ala2 cuzzy muzzy gitu la.  It is so different when she puts her doctor's hat.  Kalau x before this jumpa kat rumah my aunty je so we weren't really talking about pregnancy stuffs.. oh well, i think last jumpa pun i was not married yet so mmg la x cakap pasal pregnancy kan! Lol.. But dia mmg best la, just hope dapat follow up with her through out my pregnancy ni. Amin...

Anyway, as expected, my sugar level is high.... again! So i have to do blood sugar profile (bsp) for 3 days this coming week (thank goodness I have my own glucometer now!) and she will need to review my results next week. Ok doc, i'll do what ever u said, anything for the sake of my little angel here :)

2nd gynae's visit

Hello dearies,

As promised, here's an update after my gynae's visit.  Had an early appointment sebab nak kena amek fasting blood sugar before seeing the gynae.  So at 8.30am, hubby and I were already at the gynae's clinic.  Registered myself and was taken to the lab for them to 'poke' my forearm. Kejap je amek darah tu, pastu nurse suruh gi makan dulu sebab diorg nak process darah tu. Dalam 20 minit camtu la. Then baru boleh jumpa doctor bila dah ada resultnya.

So after habis breakfast roti canai telor kat mamak kat tepi KJMC, we all naik la balik kat gynae's clinic.  Walaupun my number should be the 1st one to go, tapi sebab result belum dapat kot so terpaksa bagi laluan kat patients lain dulu.  Hmm.. xpe la... After about 15 minutes tgk dinding  tv (which i actually just stared at the tv), my number was called.

Then masuk la bilik Doc Fatima.  She called the lab for my blood test result and jeng jeng jeng.... 6.9 mmol!! Ok, tinggi ye for a fasting blood test! She said she wants to refer me to a physician to monitor my sugar level.  And since I want to continue my check up with PPUM, i asked if she could refer me there.  She noted.

After that, it was time to scan my tummy.  Alhamdulillah, ada kandungan dalam rahim.  We saw the sac.  Tapi tak nampak heartbeat lagi.  Probably awal lagi. Doc ckp insyaAllah, lagi seminggu boleh npk.  Aminn...
Pastu doc bg gambar scan yg nampak sac tu. Tapi dlm sac tu cam nampak bayang2 baby je. Oh.. perasaan seorang mummy... :)

7 weeks.

Credit : http://www.babycenter.com.my

Alhamdulillah, syukur ke hadrat Ilahi.  I am entering my 7th week this week (5 week fetal age)

The above is the image of my little precious at 7th week.  InshaAllah, kalau ikutkan dah nak ada heartbeat this week or next week.  My next appointment is this Wednesday untuk scan.  Semoga my little precious sihat and sempurna.

At 7 weeks, beside still having on off tummy cramps.  I think my nausea is getting worst.  I feel nauseated at all times especially from evening to night.  But today, tengahari ni pun dah rasa sangat loya.  Takpe la, mummy x kisah, at least there is a prove something miracle is happening inside me :)

My appetite is also decreasing.  Tengok semua, semua x lalu.  but i have to eat. kesian baby nanti x dpt nutrition secukupnya. so paksa la makan juga, foods that i can eat.  and refrain myself from vomitting it back.  I still have problem untuk gosok gigi every morning.  Pantang masuk kan toothbrush dlm mulut sure la ter uweekkk uweekkk... camna jer... adeh... mmg kena sepantas kilat gosok gigi.. huhuhu...

okie folks.. x leh ngadap lappy lama2... nak termuntah pulak tgk screen ni. will be back to update on my 2nd visit to see the gynae. doa2 kan semoga dapat tgk heartbeat baby ye semua.  amin...

1st gynae's appoinment.

It  has been a week since I've discovered that I am pregnant.  Given the history I had before I decided to see a gynae as soon as possible.  I haven't really decide which gynae I want to go to or to see for this pregnancy.  But one thing for sure, this time around, tak mo pergi klinik kesihatan awal2.  I will register with them but not that soon. maybe bila dah enter 2nd trim insyaAllah.

So untuk 1st appoinment ni, after some thoughts and considerations, I chose Dr Fatima Najla from KJMC.  One of the reason, dekat dengan rumah.  Less than 5 minutes drive.  5 minutes cari parking and 5 minutes walk from my car to the Gynae's clinic. chewah!

Made an appointment the yesterday and today dah boleh terus datang.  My appoinment was after 10.30am sebab pagi doctor ada case.  Ok, xpe at least they notify me early. so xde la dtg tercongok2 kat situ kan.  So by the time I arrived, ada la jugak beberapa couples waiting for their turn.  The staff nurses are very friendly.  I registered myself and after a while, got my number.  3005.  Oh, 3 more people before my turn.  Not so bad :)

Finally my turn.. first time tgk Dr Fatima ni live. Kalau x before this asyik tgk kat internet je. hihi. She looks friendlier in person.  Memang friendly pun.  I can't say that I like her instantly.  Not yet, too soon to tell.  Hehehe..

So I told her my history.. the ttc journey, the 1st mc @ 4 weeks, the recent 2nd mc @ 9 weeks, the result of low progesterone, the gestational diabetes in my 2nd pregnancy etc.  Dia dengar and take note of it.  She calculated my LMP and said that I am in my 5th week and my expected due date will  be on 22 July 2013.. in sha Allah.

Dr Fatima said that usually 5 weeks is still early to do an ultrasound scan.  Sometimes, boleh npk sac, sometimes x nampak lagi.  But knowing my body, sure x npk lagi sbb before this scan at 7 weeks pun x npk.  Could be perut i tebal sgt kot. hehehehe.. Anyway, doc said, she'll try and scan anyway and as expected, mmg x npk pun lagi.  So she said to come again in 2 weeks time to scan again.  Kalau still x npk baru buat tvs.  Asked her why x boleh buat tvs skrg, but she said it is too early to insert the stick inside at this point.  Tunggu dah besar sikit baru boleh katanya. Hence the 2weeks time..

I think i was in her room about 15 minutes kot.. x lama pun.  Ha... but the charges.. walaweh!

Gynae's consultation fee : RM80
Specialist fee                 : RM80
Medicine                       : RM109

Total : RM269!!!

Ok, for medicine tu lagi melampau... just sekotak duphaston and 14 days acid folic.  serious mahal!

Am not sure if  that is the standard charges for a first timer.  Nak kena survey ni.  mmg la service best... tp alahai... mahal nya.. now x sure nak continue kat sana lagi ke x.  Though I have made a 2nd appointment nanti.  Oh... dilemma....

Anyway, we will wait and see how it goes later... kalau bagus service doc ni, perhaps we just stay despite the expensive charges.  After all, for the sake of me and my little one juga kan :)

So, this is my baby's development at 5 weeks:-

Credit : http://www.yourpregnancy-weekbyweek.com/5-week-pregnancy.html

So at 5 weeks ni, as an expectant mother, apa yg I rasa are as follows:-
  • Nausea at times, tapi x muntah. just loya je.
  • Muntah everytime gosok gigi. Kadang2 rs cam malas nak gosok gigi je.. hihihi
  • Relieve every time pergi swimming.  Mmg rasa sgt calm.
  • Malam tido awal.. kul 10pm dah ngantuk tahap gaban.  Good thing is, I get to wake up early.  But through out the day mmg cepat penat la. So again, banyak tido gak siang. hihi
  • On and off cramping.  Macam nak period.  Read somewhere, it is because our uterus is expanding sbb tu cramp.
  • Sakit pinggang, but not as bad as the last pregnancy
  • Cepat lapar... i guessed since now am eating for 2 kan :)
Despite all the symptoms, I sangat2 x kisah.  I embrace each moments of it. I am so looking forward to this great journey, semoga semuanya selamat dan dipermudahkan. in shaa Allah..

New Year's Gift!

Salam Maal Hijrah 1434H semua.

Syukur ke hadrat Ilahi masa diberi nafas dan dipanjangkan umur untuk menyambut tahun baru.  Maaf kawan2, I terpaksa private kan dulu post ni sebab i think it is too early to share the great news.

Taken on 1st Muharram.


Actually I have not missed my period yet the day I took this HPT. I was not sure why I wanted to do the test anyway. Could be because my bbt temperature was still high hence the test. It was a cold call for the test as I obviously did not expect anything since as u all may know I just had my miscarriage 2 months before.

So when the 2nd line appeared, I woke hubby up quickly and first thing that I asked was "B, i pregnant ke?" Hubby opened his eyes and without looking at the stick answered "Hormon u x betul kot yang". And I just answered "Ntah.. xpe la tunggu je".

We didn't talk about it at all the whole day. Tapi... hati perempuan mana yg tak tertanya2 kan. Even  though I have the feeling that I am pregnant, but wanted to be more surer.. and so.... the next morning, I took another test....





And another one the next day.......



Skip 18 November sebab kehabisan stick, and on 19th morning, another test.....



Ok, could not be more surer tapi x nak overjoy sgt.  Hanya mampu mengucapkan Alhamdulillah... alhamdulillah.. alhamdulillah...  syukur sangat2.  Terima Kasih Allah.

Halia O Halia

A very short entry today.

Been looking for pati halia.  Ada ke such thing?  Hubby lately asyik nak minum teh O halia sebab nak buang angin.  I pun tersuka juga teh O halia ni.  Sebab mmg terkentut2 and sendawa je selalu lepas minum.  So I ni dok la menumbuk or blend halia.  Sampai bawak ke hotel la halia yg ditumbuk tu buat stok. Nak cari short cut way by using ready made pati.  Tapi x jumpa.  But hubby found this instead..



It's a ginger powder.  I think this is used in cooking to spice up food.  But it is worth a try to see if we can substitute this with our original ginger.  I've actually tried it and it definitely gives  the same taste and aroma.  Cuma for some reason it is quite difficult to dissolve even in hot boiling water.  Hmm.. x kisah la.. it nevertheless save time and x payah la nak menumbuk2 halia tu. :))

All time favorite!


Orang kalau pantang jumpa bath tub, bila jumpa tu excited semacam sket ok!

Since our Master bedroom's bathroom was already renovated when hubby bought the condo and the bath tub has been removed, memang every time when we traveled, I really hope sangat2 hotel yg kitorg duduk tu ada bath tub.  Usually mmg all hotels ada la except for maybe budget hotels kan.  I mmg suka sgt berendam ala2 me'relax'kan minda gitu,  Sambil baca novel ke.  Ala2, orang puteyh gitu!  Ditambahkan pula dengan letak bubble bath.. waahhh.. syiokkkk...berendam dalam buih!! Mmg all time favorite!

Pastu bila kita syiok2 berendam, hubby pun nakkkk jugakkk... so harus la take turn kan.  Kacau daun sungguh! Maklum la dua2 bukan nyer slim... mana la muat kalau dua2 nak masuk dlm bath tub tu kan.  Harus la melimpah2 air keluar dr tub tu kalau dua2 gergasi dah masuk. 

Dulu masa mula2 we all guna bath salt.  Tapi tak best sgt la.  Plus I read somewhere where it said bath salt tu cam tak berapa elok.  I can't exactly remember why la sebab dah lama baca about that.  Kalau nak tau, sila la google ok.  Plus i x berapa suka sebab xde bubble kan, so mmg tak best la.  We were searching high and low for the bubble bath.  Last2 jumpa la kat body shop.  We bought it at Body Shop JPO so murah la sikit kan after discounts.  Memang sgt best bubble bath ni.


The Body Shop SPICED VANILLA BUBBLE BATH 400ml

Features of this bubble bath are:

  • Gentle, sumptuous bubbles with a fresh and spiced vanilla scent.
  • Soap-free
  • Cleansing
  • Rich Lather
  • No parabens

How to use this bubble bath senang je.  Tuangkan 2 or 3 penutup into warm/hot running water. Then kocak2 air tu sikit2 using hands.  I suka sangat suka bubble bath ni.  Of course the scent is definitely heavenly too.  Mmg sgt relax.  Usually after berendam, I just rinse thoroughly and no longer sabun badan guna sabun lain.  I just love the Vanilla scent on my body. I totally recommend this if you guys nak cari bubble bath gak.

Ini la hasilnya lepas dikocak2 air tu..... and this kind of bubbles I hanya letak 2 tutup je.. bagus kan? 


Banyakkan bubbles!! Me so excited!!

Already jumped in.  Where are my feet?  The bubbles are so thick!

There you are! Tunjuk tapak kaki je la ye.. lain2 censored! ;p

Vistana Hotel, Penang - The 2nd visit

Here I am again.. for the 2nd time this year!


Credit to google image

As usual, I would not miss the chance to follow hubby when he has to go for an audit work outstation.  Same goes to this round.  Though this is the 2nd time to Penang this year and I am well aware that we will be staying here again, I don't really mind, or don't really care, for that matter.  Janji dapat ikot.  Hehehe..

Nothing much has changed since my 1st visit in January.  Everything looks more or less the same.  Hubby wanted a bigger room than last time sbb kesian wife dia nak stay dlm bilik nanti.  So this time around we took an Executive Deluxe.  Hah.. xde la much different from the normal Deluxe room pun.  I think the size is more or less still the same. I can't remember the bed size in the Deluxe room, but this Executive Deluxe come with a king-sized bed.  There is also a day bed in the Executive Deluxe.  But then, macam la I kisah day bed ke night bed ke.  I still would lie on the bed pun regardless day or night.  And ended up the day bed jadi tempat letak baju.  Hehehe.



Part of the lobby towards the restaurant

The room.
p/s: Sila abaikan model di atas.
So far, banyak2 hotel yang I pergi I think Vistana has the best fluffy pillows.  The pillow memang besar and empuk.  Sangat best. rasa cam nak beli je.  Even the comforter is sooo comfortable.  That's why I don't really bother with the day bed cos the bed itself is soooo comfy.  Mmg x nak bangun la setiap kali baring.  Hehe.. melampau la kan.


The bath tub that hubby & I love to "berendam".  We even brought
 the bubble bath gel bought from body shop for the water.

Bathroom is nice and clean.  Towels pun cantik, thick and takde stains or koyak.  Unlike some hotels. dush! I love how they put the glass at the side of the bath tub instead of using the tub curtain.  The glass is only half side.  But it managed to make water stay in the tub.  Kalau curtain, even though it is a full size length, air still tumpah2 kat bawah.  Benci... it makes the floor wet and slippery!


I love the bath gel (pink colored bottle).  It smells very fruity!


Usual tea/coffee making facilities.

Amenities are the usual ones like other hotels.  Nothing unusual.  There is also a hairdryer though I don't really use it.  Then there is iron and iron board readily available too which is good sebab some hotels you have to request them and after certain hours they will take it back after that sebab guest lain nak pakai pulak kan.  And the best part now is that that have pun in a WiFi in the room.  Last time I came, they were still using the internet cable.  So we can only use laptop to go online.  Sekarang dah ada WiFi, best sket sbb other devices pun boleh guna.  And mind you, the WiFi is so lajuu!!  Seronok betul download movies.  Hehe..


Strictly for adult.  Budak kecik kat ujung sana.

This is the swimming pool.  The place where hubby & I practice our swimming skills every evening.  Both, hubby & I love water! So we definitely won't miss the chance to jump into the pool.  Depth is 1.4 meter.  Basically just below my chin.  Dalam jugak la but still ok.  Senang nak swim sebab tak shallow sgt.


The gymnasium or it is called fitness center here.
 To sweat of the body, this is the place where I go to usually around lunch hour.  Since I don't take lunch (due to heavy breakfast), so I spent my lunch time here.  Usually tak lama pun.  Just around one hour on the threadmill and bicycle.  Then as always, I would do some weights before warming down.  This  gymnasium is overlooking the swimming pool.  And there is music at the background.  So I can say that it is quite relax and serene.  The only thing I don't like is that the equipment is quite old.  They should change it already since there are many latest and modern equipment in the market now.  Threadmill dia sangat la uzur.  Berbunyi2 bila laju.  Scary jugak la kan.  I ought to put then in suggestion form later.



Picture credit to google image
 And last but not least, the main reason why hubby always like to stay at Vistana Hotel Penang sebab belakang hotel ni ada Restaurant Original Penang Nasi Kandar!  Memang tak lepas kan peluang setiap kali datang sini.  Ni mmg ori la.. and lazat!  I yg x nak makan nasi pun "terpaksa" makan sebab kalau x rugi.  Hehe.  My sister sampai kirim suruh bawak balik KL lagi :)))


Picture credit to google image
And of course, this Bukit Jambul Complex is just a walking distance from the hotel.  Too many stuffs are being sold here.  Ala-ala PKNS la. Semua yg boleh jual ada di jual.  Lolz.  We like to go here to buy food stocks at Mydin.  And dikesempatan ni, this visit, me managed to make our glasses sekali since we were here for 1 week.  Sempat la siap.  It was veryyy cheap.  Sebab tu la buat kat sini.  Hehehe.

Do dreams ways of telling us something?

I had a weird dream last night.  About an old friend.  In the dream, she was quite ill.  Was being treated by a pious man. The man was taking out stuffs from her body.  Bad stuffs.  While having the treatment, there was blood coming out from pores of her skin which in the dream, I was told that the bad stuffs were coming out the form of the blood.  I was awaken by the nightmare.  My friend and I, we were once close.  Then situations drift us apart as we both have other obligations path to follow.  Though, we still communicate once a while through text messages or facebook.  I performed my Subuh prayer right away and prayed that The Almighty safeguards and protects her from any evils or sickness.

Just before lunch, I checked my hp and of all days, received a text from her that day.  Replied her text and took the courtesy to ask of her well being.  Told her that I had a bad dream about her and that she was sick. Though I understand that nightmares do play trick on us at times, but it is not wrong to ask correct?

And she replied:
"Unfortunately your dream is telling you the truth.  I am sick......"  and the text continued.

It is not a normal sickness like having a fever, runny nose or equivalent.  It is more serious than that.  I shared with her the content of my nightmare and she was speechless about it.  She did share some stuffs too which I think it is quite personal to be shared here.  Nevertheless, she was thankful that I shared with her and plan to seek an opinion through consultation with someone with higher knowledge and background of our religion.

InsyaAllah... I will keep praying for her that she will be in the greatest of health.  Amin.

Swimming class : 1st session

Hari ni 1st session swimming class.  Akhirnya.. dapat gak join swimming class ni.  Dah lama gak la survey2 tapi cam hangat2 chicken shit je.  Bila hubby tanya nak join dia ngan kawan2 dia ke x, mula2 malas gak kalau sume guys.  Walaupun mmg kenal and rapat ngan geng2 office hubby ni but still, u know la.. guys sessions, malas nak follow.  Then bila one of his friend cakap yang wife dia pun nak join, so apa lagi, I pun ok je la.  Lagipun mmg kenal wife kawan hubby ni.  So lagi la ok kan.  At least ada geng.  Cost swimming lesson ni pun quite ok la.  So i think.  Though my sister said it is quite expensive.  It costs RM250 for 8 sessions.  1 session is one hour.  Tapi sbb kitorg nak cepat qhatam and since it is not that easy to find days that semua orang free at the same time, so we all ckp nak buat 2 hours per session.  So our classes will be four sessions je la.  Our instructor tu muda lagi.  Very patient mengajar abang2 and kakak2 yang berenang ikut style masing2.  Kalau cun ok gak, ni berterabur, kaki tangan sumer kemana.  Hahahaha..

So the class started at 8.30am.  Mula2 kitorang sumer kena warm up dulu.  Lari keliling swimming pool 3 rounds.  And mind you, swimming pool ni leh tahan luas gak. so mmg penat gak la.  But thanks to my daily workout, so not so bad la.  Ada gak la stamina nak lari 3 rounds tu.  Then after that buat la stretching sikit.. semua follow je apa instructor tu buat.  Lolz.

And the class began, mula2 dia ajar cara nak turun swimming pool dgn cara yang betul.  Ha, ni pun ada cara tau.  Bila nak turun guna tangga tu, kita kena turun ikut belakang.  I baru tau yang ni.  All this while mmg main turun ikut depan je.  Hehe.  Then bila dah dalam air, dia suruh kita letak tangan atas kepala and jalan from one side to the other side.  Nak suruh familiarkan dengan air and get comfortable dulu.  Baru la boleh start latihan.

So selain tu, first day tu, i belajar cara bernafas yg betul masa swimming, cara tahan nafas dalam air, cara naik ke tepi kolam yg betul without tangga, cara floatkan badan (ni belum pass lagi), backstroke and baru sempat belajar breaststroke, how to do the frog-style kick.  Tu je sempat masa first day tu, then sebab hujan, kena la naik.  Kalau tak mmg dah berjam kitorg berendam dalam tu sebab masing excited kan nak practice skill baru.  Hehehe..

So here are some pix.  Time belaja xde sapa nak capture so sume gambar posing2 la yer.  Korang just bear with it ya! Enjoysss!

Long overdue vacation: Mabul Island - The diving experience

I was actually going through my photo albums kat laptop ni.  Igt nak order photo book sebab ada banyak promotion kat groupon on photobooks.  So dok pilih2 tgk2 gambar, came across pictures when we went for a vacation at Mabul.  Ohhh... rindu nya tempat ni.  nak pergi lagi.. nak pergi lagi. agak2 bila la i dapat nak sampai lagi kat sini.  Hmm, kena tanya en hubby ni, agak2 ada x plan nak gi laut lagi.. hihihi. kalau x mabul, kat semenanjung ni pun ok.. hik hik.. This vacation was in April 2012.  First time dapat berjalan di bulan April.  For the past 7 years time ni adalah bulan yang sangat busy being a tax consultant due to filing season.  But i got an exception this year sebab dah benti keja dari bulan Januari.  So dapat la gi jalan2 bulan 4 tu.

Ok this post is to share more on the diving experience that I had.  Kalau nak citer pasal the three days kitaorg kat sana mmg berjela2 la kan.  Since this was my 1st exprience ber diving, so kita citer and tgk gambar diving je la yer.   Ye ye, saya mmg xde diving licence... tapi camna leh gi giving camtu?  Hehe.. yelah.. ni hanya la discovery diving.  So you do not need to have a licence for that. Sebab, kita ada full licensed trainer untuk jaga kita one to one.  So tak takut la kalau ada orang jaga kan? Ohh tidakkkk... takut masih takut ye!  Just imagine u r 12 meters bawah laut, mau nyer x takut.  Banyak la soalan2 yang diajukan ke en hubby.  Panic punya pasal kan.  Apapun after gone through it... my advise is, tak payah takut2, panic x tentu pasal.  Just go and enjoy je.  Mmg best.  Especially when you get to see the underwater creatures and all.  MashaAllah... cantikk sangat.  Ok la, x yah citer banyak2,  meh layan gambar2 pulak la noks..


Equipment ready!  All geared up!

Off we go!!
Ok, rupa2 nya bukan saya je yg cuak ok. Apapun, depan camera, control bebeh!



Suamiku ROBOCOP?
Disebabkan dia ni yang paling ada experience dari semua orang, harus la dia ni yang kena terjun dulu kan. Hehehehe.. dah nampak cam robocop sayangku ini.




Ok, ni lak video ikan dugong duyung nak menjatuhkan diri ke dalam laut.  Berat woooo tong gas tu.  But bila dah dalam air, light as a feather.  Tak rasa langsung beratnya!



Reached down.  Ni baru 5 meters underneath.


S.O.S 
 Ok, time ni cuak gak.  Sebab tetiba rasa suffocate.  Maybe sbb kena breathe in and out guna mulut je and kita kan dah biasa guna mulut and hidung.  So time ni cam gelabah sket.  But ingat instructor cakap apa pun jgn panic.  So jangan panic!



Underwater briefing
Time ni instructor nak test kita punya skils yg dia ajar before masuk laut.  So, semua orang ok (ye sign camtu ialah ok! Jangan buat sign good pulak.  Kalau sign good, maksud nya "up".  So nanti instructor bawak naik atas sbb igt kita tak ok. huhuhu.  Ha, tu tgk laki I tu.. relax je. Mentang2 dia dah biasa.  Kitaorg ni jer yang newbies so cam cartoon la gak.  Tengok my legs tu.  Actually kena duduk kat atas pasir tu. tapi asyik nak ternaik ke atas je.  Instructor tu cakap badan i banyak angin sbb tu x leh stay. Lolz!




Group pictures.


Oh penyu!  This is 12 meters underwater.


Why so serious! Lets put some smile to your face. Hehe :)


Kapal yang karam.. or sengaja dikaramkan untuk jadi tarikan kepada divers. lolz.



Transit before naik atas.
 Ni dah nak naik atas dah.  Actually we were down there for 45mins to an hour jugak.  Tapi tak rasa pun.  Cam kejap je dah nak naik.  Serious x puas.  Anyway, at 5 meters underwater, kita kena stop dulu kejap.  Due to pressure kat bawah laut tu, semua organ kita mengecut.  So x boleh terus naik atas without stopping sbb takut organ2 kita especially paru2 mengembang secara mengejut and boleh menyebabkan pecah.  So transit ni utk balance kan pressure kat dalam badan kita.  If am not mistaken, kena stop for 5 minutes camtu la.  Then after that baru naik slow2.




Yay! I did it!
Finally, yay! alhamdulillah semua ok.  And yes! I fought my fear!  Seronoknya rasa.  Actually bersyukur sgt sbb walaupun cuak and all, I still have the courage to do this.  




Who is that dude?
 Ini la dia, my instructor.  Orang lain sumer kena share instructor.  Tapi mamat ni jaga i sorang.  Maybe sbb muka i yang paling cuak kot.  Budak lagi si leng chai ni.  Dia ni tgh nak dlm process amek licence as a MasterDive.  Sekarang ni dia dah ada rescuer licence.  Dia ni org KL gak.  Tapi mmg selalu ke sana sbb nak buat licence tu.




Last but not least, our picture!! Thank u sayang bawak i gi masuk laut!!!
