Ramadan & Hari Kebangsaan

Weekend ni, semua umat Islam di seluruh dunia akan menyambut kedatangan bulan ramadan al-Mubarak. Kejap jer rasanye masa berlalu. Sebulan slps tu, Raya plak.. Ish...ish... Mcm x percaya jer. Tp itulah hakikatnye.

Kepada semua umat Islam, di ucapkan selamat berpuasa. Jika ada salah dan silap...yg sengaja ataupun tidak, maafkanlah.

Another occasion yg kite akan sambut adalah hari kebangsaan negara yg ke-52 hujung bln ni.

Aku rasa cam pelik jer tahun ni. If tetiap tahun, time skrg ni la..dah berlambak kereta pasang flag dgn berbagai style. Ader yg tampal flag besar kat atas bonet depan, ader yg susun bendera bebanyak kat cermin depan keta dsb. Tp tahun ni... aku ble kiralah bape keta yg ader pasang. Atau bcoz dah x der flag free dpt kat stesen myk? If thats the case... kedekut betul rakyat Msia skrg ni. Mungkin juga memasing lebih sibuk nak beli mask dr beli flag kot. Aku? Tgh sebok nak pasang ler ni. Tgh tunggu gam double sided tape kat cermin keta aku tuh stick dgn kuatnye. Then baru aku pasang flag. Bkn ape...nnti pepenat pasang flag, baru bawak laju sket, dah tercabut. Rasa bersalah plak nnti. Dah ler buang smpah merata2, nnti flag tuh kena pijak ker kena langgar dgn keta lain yg lalu lalang ker..kan menjatuhkan martabat negara tuh..hehe.

Berckp pasal mask, aku rasa tahap kesedaran rakyat msia masih rendah lagilah. Asal aku & Ema kua g memane, kitorg pakai ler mask. Yelah... dah tau mcmane bahayenye H1N1. Agaknye rakyat Msia ni semua nak kena dulu kot baru lah sedar bahayanye H1N1. Ataupon badan diorg dah kebal dari kena penyakit berbahaya ni agaknye.

Apapun, diharap penyakit berbahaya ni akan berhenti lah hendaknye dari terus membunuh. Semoga dgn kedatangan bulan ramadan ni dptlah mengurangkan penularan (betul ker perkataan ni?) wabak berbahaya ni. Amin.

Selamat menyambut Ramadan al-Mubarak & Hari Kebangsaan ke-52!

Goodbye dull weekend! Coz the football season are back!!

Will MU win it again to surpass Liver record?

Weekend baru ni bermulalah kembali 1 lagi season bolasepak yg semua peminat bola tunggu2 kan. BPL are back!

Maka bermulalah kembali sesi berjaga di tgh mlm, berebut remote control, social plan disruption, sesi merajuk-pujuk. Percaya atau tidak, masa ni kami kaum Adam (& sbhgian kaum Hawa) sanggup dok rumah dari kluar rumah di mlm minggu. Sanggup dok kat mamak berejam2 tanpa kaum isteri risau lokasi suami masing2.

Tak cukup smpai bulan May 2010, sambung plak dgn musim yg 4 tahun dtg sekali-World Cup 2010 plak mengisi bln Jun 2010. Bagi those wifes/gf's yg understand their hubby's/bf madness, we men appreciate a lot! (Especially u my wife!!)
Cerita panjang jadi pendek, gua sbnrnye nak preview BPL season baru nih. Sapa yg gua rasa ada potensi & ble jadi champion & those yg masih bermimpi2 di siang hari. Well, lets start with:

MANCHESTER UNITED

This season Red Devil berwajah baru. A face of a true team. No more 1 player dominate others. For me, gua mmg appreciate all the sumbangan yg C Ronaldo buat utk MU beberapa season termasuk season lepas. But as before him. Ferguson realize that MU has almost become C Ronaldo United, like when we too depending to RV Nistelrooy for goals which end up we lost the title race to Chelsea.

Will Rooney unleash his magic now that Ronaldo has left?

With him gone, its time for others utk step up their game especially for Rooney. He has sacrifice a lot for the team. Now Fergie has let loose the leash on him. Korang akan dpt tgk Rooney potensi. He will definitely push through all barrier for MU. He is Manchester United. But he wont be like Ronaldo. Rooney is a team player while Ronaldo is a performer. Both have their pro & cons. Let see this season sapa yg outshine the other one.

Bkn Rooney jer. Berbatov, Nani, Anderson will try to prove that they can up the tempo when it matters. This season also will see Fletcher playing a bigger part in midfield. He has shown it last season.

This season will prove vital for all player especially the 3 new signing. Owen, Obertan & Valencia. While Valencia will fill in the right flank roll nicely, its a fighting for the 1st XI for both new signing. Gua still x ble percaya that we have sign Owen. But its true that Owen does fill the gap left by Tevez. Maybe when Owen have settled down with the team, he can show whether he still have the predatory instinct anymore.

Finishing position: 2nd. 1st if Chelsea change their manager again. Why? Ronaldo effect. For the 1st half season, we need to adapt. I only can see that when 2nd half of the season take place. Then MU will blazing all front. Problem is, with Liverpool, Chelsea & Man City in the final 10 games, we will definitely feel the heat. That is why Im rooting for MU to finish 2nd.

CHELSEA

Chelsea actually a strong side. The problem with them is the manager. Without a good manager since Abrahamovic sack Mourinho, Chelsea play like a yo-yo.

Captain Terryific

With Terry, Alex & Calvalho towering in defence, Essien & Mikel patrolling the midfield area while Lampard, Ballack & Deco roaming in the final third not forgetting Drogba, Anelka & Kalou firing the gun-Chelsea look rock solid on paper. Another advantage that Chelsea have is their towering & tough presence. Gua mmg x suka bile lwn Chelsea. Why? Dgn tinggi & permainan keras diorg. Mmg ble buat tension seh!.

If they can take advantage of their disposal couple with good management skill from Ancelotti, they might win the league this season.

Finishing position: 1st. 3rd if change manager. Their league schedule is much better than the others. If they can take advantage of this element, they will definitely hard to catch.

ARSENAL

"You can't win with kids" was Alan Hansen (formerly Liverpool player) most famous qoute. The same season, MU won the title with Giggs & others Fergie fledglings i.e. Becks, Scholesy, Neville's brother & Butt who are kids during that season. So don't write off Arsenal yet.

Fabregas will play big roles again for Arsenal

Last season we find out that the young side of Arsenal lead the table early of the season only to be whacked when the 2nd half of the season kick off. But this season it wont be the same. We will see Arsenal take on the teams like storm. With additional of their "new" player in Rosicky & Eduardo. Plus Vermauleen in CB will definitely shore up the defence. Up front is their main concern.

With losing Adebayor to Man City, Arsenal do not have a lanky striker up front. MU did show that before Berbatov join them, it is not a big problem for Rooney & Tevez to play up front. So its not a problem for Arsenal. The main concern are the team sustainability. Whether they can sustain to play beautiful football until season end.
Finishing position: 3rd. Their season schedule are the better of all top 4 team. With Man City pose a big threat in the final 10 games, they might finish higher if MU or Chelsea slip up.

LIVERPOOL

If korg follow Football Focus with John Dykes every Tuesday 8pm on ESPN, non of the pundits believe that Liverpool can win the title let alone stay in the top 4. They are the one who going to push down by Man City.

Will both of them fit for season long?

Why? Too depending to Gerrard & Torres. Without both or one of them playing, Liverpool just drop their % to win to below than 40%. Thats show how much Gerrard & Torres meant to Rafa. Without any major signing during the transfer market. Finally losing Alonso to Real Madrid. Liverpool will struggle to follow last season performance. Itu x ckp psl their backline consist of Carragher & Skrtel. If b4 this, Liverpool are very proud of their defensive record. Since Carragher introduced in the central role of defense, that record gone.

Mmg la gua benci Liverpool. Its a fact. But gua just didnt have any praise to them. They dont add new player that can bring differences in a match. Torres is their only biggest signing. Why they cant buy or attract big names? Small transfer funds & small wages. Aquilani for £20M. Ridiculous, man. Gua suka Aquilani, tp mamat tuh x smpai harga tuh. Gaji kat Liverpool adalah lebih kurang mcm kat Arsenal je. That y susah nak attract big names.

Finishing position: 4th. Itupun if Man City x perform as expected. If Man City perform, bye2 Liver from the top 4 equation. Itu x cerita ttg final 10 games lagi, Liverpool need to play against MU & Chelsea. It will be difficult for them . But if they manage to play like last season, they can knick it.

MANCHESTER CITY

The Real Madrid of BPL. Name the price, they will dump it to you. With the crazy transfer funds which they have invested more than £100M on Adebayor, Toure, Tevez, Barry, Santa Cruz etc, Man City & Real Madrid has made the transfer price rise crazily. Making other club difficult to get their target player in the region of their budget.

With the new squad in disposal, plus current player like Ireland, Given, Robinho & co, it will hard to leave Man City out of title contention. If Mark Hughes manage to gel these players to play as a team, they will definitely run the other team down into the drain.

Star in the making

The key player for them will be Given, Toure, Barry, Ireland & whoever playing up front. If they perform, the team will perform well. This players will be the foundation of the team. If they cant play well, then the Top 4 team of BPL will remain the same.
Finishing position: 5th. They might finish top 4 if any of the top 4 slip up.



Any dark horse team this season?
Nop. It will be between MU, Arsenal & Chelsea. While Liverpool & Man City will fight for 4th. Spurs might be the dark horse in finishing 4th. They have beaten Liverpool again at White Hart Lane last weekend. If they manage to play descent football weekend weekout, they might provide the surprise.

Hope our team will play their hearts out. Not only they will be playing for BPL, Champions league is another thing. Gua akan preview UCL when the playoff abis nanti.

Enjoy the season and let the best team win. Glory glory!!

A few info about H1N1

Since Ema kena H1N1 & Alhamdulillah recover from it, gua found out a few things about this deadly virus that might be useful for all of us.

1. The virus boleh berjangkit secara air borne - udara. Melalui bersin, batuk.
2. If korg ader demam, selesema, other symptom H1N1 especially batuk... korg better pegi Specialist hospital rather than GH. GH overcrowded with ppl. Specialist hospital pon ramai org gak, but they will treat u right away.
3. The doctor will check your lungs condition via stetescope & of coz x-ray. Then they will check your blood as well as take 2 sample from your nostril & throat for further test. Nostril sample result shows in 1 hour. Throat test result within 24 hours.
4. If the result is positive...dont panic. The doctors skrg ni dah understand more about the virus than 2-3 bln lepas. They will give you the antiviral in order for your body to build up antibody to resist the virus naturally. Jgn lupa tawakal pada Allah jugak.
5. Make sure drink plenty of air kelapa, fresh orange & eat apple. Yes...all the email fly around skrg ni mmg betul. Why? Vitamin C. Our body needs additional vitamin C utk our antibody.
6. Most of the cases yg end up dgn kematian are from the risk group-Pregnant woman, Obesity ppl, Asmathic, kids & those yg berpenyakit kronik (your antibody is low). Others yg meninggal but not from the risk group are due to lmbt pergi cek kat doktor. Dah 3-4 hari demam pon x pegi klinik.
7. Elakkan ar pergi tmpt yg ramai org. If x dpt elakkan, pakai ler mask.

One thing for sure. If korg dah recover from H1N1, u wont be infected again. Its like kena demam campak-once a lifetime. Thats y when Ema went for check up, Dr. Sakinah mention to us that Ema body has build the antibody. Gua pada mulanyer x paham. Then after further reading as well as listening from other stories, baru la gua tau.

Pape pon, take good care of your health. With the haze & rain weather skrg ni, its better to take extra precaution. Biarlah nampak pelik dimata org, as long as our health is fine-its good.

Book Review: The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro & Chuck Hogan

This is my review on the book:

Release: June 2nd 2009.
Writer: Guillermo Del Toro & Chuck Hogan

How I found out about the book?
Well… My eyes caught THE STRAIN in The Sun the free newspaper section book title bestsellers dated somewhere in July 09. . The synopsis read:

“ A Boeing 777 arrives at JFK and is on its way across the tarmac, when it suddenly stops dead. All window shades are pulled down. All lights are out. All communication channels have gone quiet. Crews on the ground are lost for answers, but an alert goes out to the CDC. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of their Canary project, a rapid-response team that investigates biological threats, gets the call and boards the plane.
What he finds makes his blood run cold.
In a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem, a former professor and survivor of the Holocaust names Abraham Setrakian knows something is happening. And he knows the time has come, that a war is brewing…
So begins a battle of mammoth proportions as the vampiric virus that has infected New York begins to spill out into the streets. Eph, who joined by Setrakian and a motley crew of fighters, must now find a way to stop the contagion and save his city-a city that includes his wife and son-before it is too late. “

That was enuff for me to find the book at MPH.

MAIN CHARACTERS

Heroes
Professor Abraham Setrakian – The man who know all about The Master. As he has indeed fought with The Master before and waiting to fulfil his revenge. The one man that still a human even after encountering with the devil himself-in layman term-still alive. The man which his grandma-his bubbeh told story of the giant, Jusef Sardu and Jusef’s encounter with The former Master.
Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Eph)– The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Head, The father & the main character.
Nora Martinez (Nora) – Biochemist. Eph 2nd man. Er...Woman. Have a fling with Eph.
Vasiliy Fet (Vas) – The Exterminator (Pest Control) end up being Vampire exterminator. Join force with Setrakian, Eph & Nora.

Villain
The Master – The Strigoi (Old World term for Vampire), He who dwell in the dark, Who spell terror, taking over Jusef Sardu’s body-a Romanian which disability spell Tall almost 8 feet.
Eldritch Palmer – The human that bring the Strigoi to the new world. The homosapian that depending on dialysis machine in order to live. Wishing by bringing the Master to the New World would make him immortal.

The Caught in between
Augustin Elizalde (Gus) – A Madre who was caught in the war between man & vampire. Will definitely play a big part in the 2nd book (Yes you read it right… there will be 2nd & 3rd book in this trilogy).
Kelly & Zack Goodweather – Eph's ex (going to) wife & son. Lame tale of a hero with broken family ties who try to salvage whatever hope there is to save the marriage.

THE STORYLINE

Well if you guys are into handsome good Vampires. Then you better read Twilight Saga or watch The Sesame Street-Count Drakula (count with me ha..ha..ha..). Becoz this book tell the story of vampires-badass vampires like the good old days.
Vampire suck blood from human-Vampire fill its need to feed. But here is the twist. The human that his blood being suck out dry by the vampire will not die. But will become the undead-the zombie. Sucking your blood out if he find you in the night.
The based of the story are on a Group of Vampires-The Ancient. There are 7 of them. 4 lay in the Old World scattered all around the continent of the world. Namely Europe, Africa & Asia. 3 in the New World-The Americana.
Like all storyline- One of them are bad..greedy. This one are supposedly origin from the Old World. Always breaking the rules of The Ancient. The bad one-The Master. He roams free. Sucking human blood as much as he wanted. He will normally align with one human that will be his slave-his informer-his link with the world. This human will make sure that no one-I mean no one know about the Master or try to seek revenge or investigate about the mystery behind the Master killing spree.
This book tell the story of the Master and those who hunt him.
And He has reach Manhattan.

THE REVIEW

The story start as the synopsis say. Then from then grew on until the third day after the incident of the Boeing 777. The mystery on how all the passenger of the plane died except for 4 person. What happening to the 4 survivors. What the mystery all about. With a few interlude to understand more on Setrakian and The Master. And finally the chase to find The Master.
Great story line. Sometime it does make the hair behind my neck stand for nothing, man. Its been awhile since I read a decent book. I like mystery, paranormal or in bookstore terms-General Fiction. I take 2 days to finish the book. Bought it on the 12th Aug, finish it yesterday. What can I say is there will be a sequel to this book-the 2nd & the 3rd chapter of THE STRAIN trilogy.
2nd chapter title “THE FALL” schedule to release in 2010 and the final installment “THE NIGHT ETERNAL” in 2011.
I believe with Del Toro at the helm, there will be a movie on the way soon. And it will be great movie.

RATING

I give 5 star Out of 5. The book is awesome!

Dear.... Its our 2nd anniversary

Yes Dear...kite dah 2 tahun kawin. We've been through ups & down. You're there for me as I was there for u. Its true that sometime kite mmg gaduh. Gaduh besar ke gaduh kecil ke.. but in the end, we still stick together.

Before this anniversary, our marriage was put on a test that none other can challenge. You've been positive detected with H1N1. And for that, the doctor make a choice between you and the baby. And the doctor choose you over the baby.

Its up to our baby to survive it, dear. Thats what our baby need to endure before reaching out to this side of the world. Setiap kali abg doakan kesihatan syg..x pernah abg lupa doakan kesihatan baby sekali. Moga Allah lindungi kesihatan baby kita yek...

Alhamdulillah syg dah recover manakala baby pula showing good sign as well. Kita dah berusaha.. skrg berserah lah pada Allah utk keselamatan & kesihatan baby kita.

I've never doubt that I've made the right decision to marry u. Its ok for me to wait for almost a year before making my move to get to know u. Hehe... Coz I noe ur the one. You made my life complete. Thats y you are very important to me.

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Ermawati Ab Basir. May our marriage will last until the day we die.

Alhamdulillah! Erma has recover from H1N1!!

Alhamdulillah!! Syukur pada Ilahi. Ptg ni gua dpt berita yg paling gua tunggu & harapkan sepanjang minggu ni. Erma has recover from H1N1!!

Thanks to Dr. Sakinah yg confirmkan when we go for follow up medical check up ptg td. To be exact, 2pm.

Baby condition?
After the check up, actually kitorg nak g jumpa gynae kat APSH jer. Dr. Sakinah nyer staf nurse tlg buatkan apptmt dgn Dr. Faizah - Gynae d APSH. Unfortunetely...She only will be available next Tuesday jer. Xper ar. Buat jer apptmt. OTW blk umah, kitog singgah klinik yg kitorg buat monthly check up Ema & baby. Dr. Victoria kinda shock to hear Ema news and glad that Ema has recover from it. Mcm2 dia advise. Suruh byk berehat ar.. mkn byk vitamin C (1000mh per day or 2 tablet per day!) smpai give birth nnti. Dia cek Ema physically jer. She can scan. Unfortunetely she cannot tell whether the baby is ok or not. A 3D scan can determine it. Thats y she ask us to scan when meeting with Dr. Faizah di APSH next week jer. Another thing - its not advisable to do scanning slalu sgt. Takut effect baby.

Thanks to u guys yg doakan Ema & bb sihat. Gua x tau mcmane nak bls budi baik korg.

Ema dpt another 2 days MC for resting purpose. So she will be back to work on Friday. Gua? gua amik another day lagi off. Cuti sendiri. Gua pon perlu berehat gak..hehe.

Quarantine....: Tahap kebohsanan melampau

Adeh...

A few days gua x post anything new. Bkn bz pape pon. Just malas.

How is Ema condition? Alhamdulillah. So far dia sihat. Cuma batuk tu x berenti2 lagi. Tapi dah makin kurang. Gua cuba sedaya upaya utk jaga dia. Make sure dia mkn ubat on time & mkn according to right time. Gua jugak monitor body temperature dia. Siap beli mcm kat hospital punya. Tp murah ar. X ble lwn yg hospital punye. At least its digital. hehe. Body temp pon normal jer sepanjang kuarantin kat umah ni.

How is my condition? Ade yg tanye ker? hehe... Alhamdulillah, gua ok. So far xder ar batuk or pape simptom H1N1. Dah ukur body temp Ema, gua pon tumpang sama lah..hehe. So far bodt temp gua pon normal gak.

Cuma 1 jer penyakit yg kami hadapi sejak kena kuarantin kat umah ni... BOSAN!! X cukup dgn ulangan Lucky Number Slevin, kitorg layan Premonition plak, then lyn Harold & Kumar (cerita yg sungguh bodoh tp lawak porn). Spiderman 3 pon jadi tontonan kitorg. Itu x masuk ulangan Leverage, CSI: Vegas ka Miami ka, Bones, Wipeout, Sepet dan ntah ape lagi yg ader kat Astro. Abis dah sesi basuh baju, sidai baju, lipat baju, kemas umah kitorg (or gua je) buat. Gua dah smpai tahap blasah Chelsea 4-0, 5-0 dah kat PES 2009 on PS2 (dulu ble menang 1 or 2 - o jer).

But...itulah yg kitorg kena buat. Kuarantin diri kitorg. Pasal mknn, mmg ar gua kluar g bli. Nak masak...lauk mls nak bli kat kedai. Mane ble pegi tmpt yg kerumun dgn org ramai. Manelah tau gua ade...terjangkit kat org lain time gua kluar tu kan naya jer..

Hope that tmrw check up with Dr. Sakinah will come out with a good result. Then if everything is ok, kitorg nak cek baby plak. Risau beb! X tau mcmane condition dia. Eventho Ema punye monthly cek up fall on the 15th, but kitorg risau gak ngan condition dia. Maklum ar...mane nmpk pape. Ema pon blm rasa any kicking pon. Hope baby ok. Gua doakan both of my precious ni slmt & sihat hendaknye.

Kepada Anim, sorry la kitorg x dpt dtg majlis pertunangan awak. Dah niat mmg nak dtg. Apakan daya... Anyway congrats ya! Jaga diri bebaik.

To Nida, Sorilah aku x dpt dtg majlis perkahwinan ko. Tp at least ko dah dpt hadiah in advance dr aku, kan? Nasib baik bagi awal ek? hehe Congrats & welkam to the club.

To Manchester United FC, Xde hal lah kite kalah Community Shield. Kalah pon, kalah penalti jer. Gua xnak ckp psl jahatnye Ballack & unsporting reaction by Chelsea player bile Evra kena hentak dgn Ballack & x lupa jugak referee yg sungguh prihatin dgn Ballack tp bile Evra buat silap sket...kad kuning diterima eventho mmg dia dpt bola. Eh..gua xnak crite eh.. tersasul plak. Again..xper kite kalah. Yg penting kerjasama! eh..bkn. itu wonderpets kat tv9 (punye lah bosan, smpai wonderpets pon layan. sigh!) Yg penting we show to the world that MU can survive with or wthout Ronaldo & Tevez. Glory glory!

To u all. Thanks for the doa, the solat hajat, the yassin even the bunga (thanks Pn. Nora!) for Erma. Gua appreciate sgt ape yg korg semua buat.

Pape...gua akan update lagi dlm next post. Million of thanks!!

Quarantine....

Bile doktor Sakinah dtg melawat Ema pagi td. Gua dan Ema dah decide utk blk umah...
Most of us if dgr dah blk umah or discharge dr hospital means only 1 thing - dah sembuh. But in Ema case - its not.
Actually doctor give us two option - either to stay in Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital (APSH, not APMC) or stay quarantine at home. So kitorg amik option no 2. Doctor prescribe all the medicine especiallly Tamiflu utk Ema mkn for the next 5 days. Then on the 11th... dtg blk ke APSH utk check up. Slps selesai discharge procedure...gua bwk Ema blk umah dlm pkl 12.30pm.
Mcm2 sms gua & Ema dpt. Suruh mkn buah naga la..mkn pisang ar..minum air kelapa muda or sea coconut. Suruh baca yassin, minum air zamzam. Thanks all. Gua akan cuba bagi mane yg termampu pd Ema.
So far yg gua tau. Almost all private hospital in KL dah accept kes H1N1. Not like the early stage when all H1N1 cases need to be refer to GH only. Gua dgr even those yg dah confirm H1N1 poon kena blk umah kuarantin sendiri coz hospital dah penuh. Hospital only treat those yg critical jer. Kesian gak kat doktor2 & nurse2 semua. Pd korg jer la kitorg normal ppl brharap. Gua mmg sanjung jasa baik korg x dilupakan gak yg bwkkan mknn & bersihkan bilik. Korg mmg mengambil risiko utk memastikan kami yg sakit akan kembali sihat.
Opis gua dah start buat saringan kat entrance dgn cek body temperature semua yg masuk kilang. Maybe coz gua dah bgtau kat HR yg Ema confirm H1N1. Itu yg diorg take safety precaution agaknye.
Hope that kitorg buat pilihan yg betul. Gua takut gak dok umah ni. Gua takut gua x dpt jaga Ema bebaik. Doakan moga gua dpt jaga Ema dgn baik sehingga dia sembuh. Doakan gak moga baby kitorg kuat bersama mummynye. Hope that Baby pandai memilih apa yg patut diambil utk mmbesar dlm perut mummy k. Moga Allah pulihkanlah Ema dr penyakit berbahaya ini. Amin...

Sometime 'Positive' is not the answer u looking for...

Haih....
Mcmane gua nak tulis ni.......
By the time entry ni di tulis, most of yg kitorg kenal dah tau yg Ema has been positive H1N1. Yup.. no jokes, man. Gua mmg harap yg result paper yg tulis wife gua tu detected H1N1 just a big joke that APMC nak buat kat gua & Ema. Gua harap tetibe je Adlin Aman Ramli akan kluar & bgtau yg "wakenabeb!!"Gua akan ketawa smbil blasah mamat tuh dgn gumbiranye krana buat lwk x kenal tmpt ...but its not.
The fact is...Ema mmg confirm detected with H1N1. Jgn tanye gua mane dia dpt...Even opismate dia yg suspect pon dah release from hospital making Ema the 1st TIMEdotcom staf yg kena H1n1. Apsal la Ema yg kena? Bkn her other opismate? Tp soalan tu gua x patut tanye...its not my power to sesuka bg penyakit tu kat sesapa pon. Gua redha bini gua kena H1N1. Itu dah takdirnya... Gua xkan menyalahkan sesapa pon. As a pregnant lady...Ema mmg have a higher risk to get infected other than others except for kids, those yg ader lelah & org tua. That is the fact.
Another fact yg menyakitkan hati gua is that when Ema found out about the result from the nurse - I wasn't there. Gua xder kat sblh dia utk tenangkan dia, beb! Gua kat umah, sebok ngemas baju sluar aper yg patut utk bwk blk ke APMC. Ema dpt tau pas lunch tgh hari. Gua smpai jer APMC (dgn hati girang coz Ema was getting better this morning & hoping that the result just to confirm that Ema negative & ble blk umah) then kat bilik dia, gua konpius. Ngape katil dia kemas? Mane brg2 semua? Then barulah nurse panggil gua mengatakan yg Ema dah dipindah kan ke bilik lain. Then gua dah start rase x best bile tgk ader tag "isolated" outside of her room. Gua masuk, then nmpk Ema dgn riak wajah yg sedih... Gua tanye dia bile pindah bilik, "pas lunch td", smbil mata dia tgk ke dinding - pandangan yg ble tembus dinding tuh dibuatnye, x pandang gua pon. "Confirm ke syg?", tanye gua smbil pegang bahu dia. Ema angguk smbil memalingkan muka dia pada gua. Gua terus peluk dia. Gua rasa sedih, tp xtau ngape airmata x nk turun. Mata Ema mmg dah merah la. Sorry syg abg xder mase syg dpt that bad news.
Ema trus bertukar menjadi pendiam. Kami x byk ckp pon. Gua pon x nak ar byk sgt soal. Kesian kat dia. Mase tu ar gua tgk result 2nd test dia pd nurse kat luar. Terus je gua solat zohor dan terus berdoa pd ilahi. Gua x kesah ape nak jd kat gua, as long as Ema & baby survive the infection.
Doktor Sakinah dtg melawat Ema dlm pkl 6.40pm rasanye. Gua pon kena kuarantin selama 7 hari. Kena amik vitamin c & of coz kena pakai mask. X kira la nak kuarantin kat mane pon. As long as no contact with other fine human within the 7 days. Doc says that Ema is still at the early stage. Mungkin itu kehendakNya utk kami dtg ke APMC utk cek Ema. If not mane tau...gua mungkin lmbt utk bwk Ema g pakar which might end up dgn Ema dah lmbt utk menerima rawatan.
Then barulah gua smpaikan berita pd bos Ema & parents kitorg. Others...gua sms jer. Thanks semua yg berdoa utk kesihatan Ema & baby. Thanks gak to those yg kol tanye kabar, gua x tau cmane nak ckp ar.... Yg gua mmpu is just send sms to korg... itu jer. Kitorg mmg x bagi sesapa pon dtg. We do not want to cause others to be infected. If Ema sihat (Amin Ya Allah!!) biar kami yg dtg melawat.
Kepadamu ku berserah Ya Allah..

H1N1: The Story so far

Gua ader niat nak tulis post about the virus yg tgh merebak dgn cepat di negara kita ni. Tp nmpknyer..gua akan tulis ttg pengalaman gua & especially Erma, yg being suspect H1N1.
Semua bermula from last week. When kitorg start kije slps penat majlis perkahwinan Gudik the weekend b4, Erma mention to me that kat opis dia dah ramai yg bebatuk dgn ganasnye. Gua dah start risau dah mase tuh. Erma did try to ask 4 permission to work from umah. But of coz ar...being rejected due to unvalid claims. Then on Wednesday (29.07.09), Erma dah start batuk2. The following day getting worst. Nak jd crite, gua pon actually from Tuesday (28.07.09) dah start sakit tekak - ulcer. Sakit weh!! Mulut cam tebako! Asyik teguk air jer. But on Thursday, + simptom = pening plak.
Slps dpt berita yg Atuk blah abah Erma meninggal ptg tu, kami pon g klinik - dgn niat nk tgk status gua & normal cek up Erma. Erma was ok then. Cuma gua jer suspect demam eventho gua x rasa demam pon. Dpt MC. Niatnye mlm tu gak nak blk kg uruskan pengkebumian arwah atuknya. Pas jer mkn ubat, trus zzzzzzzzzzz...Smpai ke pagi. Mase tido tu lar Ema dah start demam. Panas seh bdn dia.
Jumaatnya, pepagi kami dah bertolak ke Trolak. Slps selesai pengkebumian dan solat Jumaat, kami pon brtolak blk ke rumah. Erma masa ni masih panas bdnnya. Kami x g klinik pon blk dr Trolak tu. Esoknye br pegi klinik. Doc bg ubat jer.... Then monday pegi ke klinik yg sama blk - bagi ubat extra dos plk.
Gua pon mc gak ari senin tuh. Hari slasa gua start kije blk. Ema still mc ari slasa tuh. Then when dia g klinik, doc suruh refer to specialist. So decide to go to Ampang Puteri Medical Centre. Blk dr klinik tuh, x tau cmane...Ema jatuh kat blk air. Dia tepon gua, gua ingat nak mintak lepas slps weekly meeting pagi tuh. Tp dah disebabkan Ema JATUH. Gua pon terus jer mintak kluar dr meetg & brgegas blk ke rumah. Luckily that Ema jatuh x teruk, Alhamdulillah she's fine. Cuma kitorg x tau condition baby.
Ampang Puteri Medical Centre (APMC) dah mcm specialist centre for H1N1. Gua masuk jer lobi utama, dah ade org APMC yg cek semua visitor punye body temperature. If lebih dr 38 degree celcius, kena hantar ke wad kecemasan & kemalangan. Since Ema punye body temp is 38, kenalah kitorg g wad tuh. Kat situ dah mcm tmpt berpenyakit. Semua pakai mask (termasuk ar kitorg) Smbil mndftr tuh smpt ar gua dpt info yg even APMC HR staff pon ader 4 org yg positive virus tuh. HR beb!! bkn yg deal dgn patient. Gua rasa org yg x sakit pon ble sakit ar kat sini. Dah ler cuaca kat luar tuh jerebu tak hingat!!
Ingat mase nak jumpa doc tu, nak cek baby condition gak. Tp lain plak jadi nyer. Dah la lame nk tunggu dpt jmpe doctor. Sis suruh Ema amik blood sample b4 jumpa doctor. Jmpe doctor jer, Ema was suspected positive H1N1. Gua rasa nak runtuh dah dunia masa tuh. Gua tgk Ema cool jer mase tuh. But gua tau..dlm hati dia mcm mane. She's a strong babe. Tho slps buat 2 further sample for testing. 1 taken from the nostril - result in 1 hour. And another sample taken from the throat - result in 24 hour. Ema ader ckp ngan gua, "Abg jgn sedih k, syg ok jer" Elok2 gua dpt tahan nak nangis, trus mengalir jer air mata gua. Sedih la beb! Bini gua suspect H1N1!. Ema pon gua tgk tertitis gak air mata dia. Pas jer admit kat wad. Gua pon brgegas blk amik aper yg patut coz x expect yg Ema kena warded. 1st test result is negative. Alhamdulillah. Doctor yg jaga Ema. Dr. Sakinah also helpful tgk kan Ema. Eventho, at first mcm dia nih serius x hengat punya. Tp lama kelamaan she's quite ok gak.
Gua pon kol PIL & my parents. Sedih diorg. Tp gua terangkan kat diorg yg Ema is just suspected & not confirm yet positive H1N1. Baru ar diorg ok. The rest of our family & frens...mane yg gua tau jer..gua sms jer. Byk yg reply sms, kol..gua thanks a lot to u guys. Thanks for all ur prayers. To those yg kol Erma. Sorry la. Dia x larat nak jwb panggilan korg. Ader yg gua smpt jawab..gua jawab. Mane yg x dpt, sori lah.
Today, Ema is getting better. BP & body Temp has normalize. Doctor dtg tgk pagi & ptg mengatakan yg Ema getting better. Tp result from the 2nd test blm tau lagi. Ramai kot yg buat test tuh...patutnye ptg ni ble dpt dah result nye. Tp blm lagi.
Gua akan update lagi status Ema tmrw. Skrg ni gua brkmpg ar kat APMC. Nak jd crite...my HR officer siap kol bgtau yg gua pon kena kuarantin since wife gua suspected.
If everthing ok, we will check the baby condition plak. Doakanlah moga Ema & baby xder pape. Moga doa korg akan dimakbulkan Allah.

Men's magazine...

Gua x tau ttg korg, but gua smpai skrg masih x dpt carik men mag yg best mengikut description yg gua nak.

To me... a good men mag showcase:

• Great cover story -doesn't mean about babes only.
• Babes... of coz.
• Movie review and previews.
• Fashion info & tips about guys of coz.
• Cool adventures story.
• Cool places to go for holidays.
• Cool music review,interviews & previews etc.
• Cool happening in town or nearby.
• Goods sports story line up.
• Things that men should or not do.
• Health guide.
• Cool books review.
• Others thing that make the mag cool!

So far... most of the mag either have some of the line up above or just LAME...

Bkn ape...since kawin ni.. gua dpt ar tgk woman mag i.e. Cleo, Women weekly or etc coz Ema buy it. So basically yg dpt gua simpulkan are that their mags got a lots of info plus the price is cheap. Half of our mag! Maybe the demand for men mag not as much as woman mag I guess.

A few Men Magazine Review:

1. FHM (For Him Magazine) - Babe (s) cover photo. a lot of info i.e sex story, sexy babe story, New musics reviews, a lot of story that I dont know or doesnt care to know, Fashion that manager & above only afford etc. I like the babes of coz (especially the cover story about Megan Fox, Katy Perry & of coz my favourite Ana Ivanovic), but the mag more towards sex craving men and not for an average joe (kengkononnye gua la tu...wakaka).

1. August Men - Man cover photo. Babes photo/story inside. lots of info as well as things as per I wanted above. But to thin for a mag costing RM10 bucks.





2. M2 - Man cover photo. Still new to me. Need to go through a few month to get a better comments. Problem is the mag is 1 month late from normal publication date. Let say the month is August, the mag hit the market with July posted on the cover page.





3. NewMan - Babe (s) cover photo. Almost identical like August Men. Comment pon same mcm August Men.

Actually there are a lot of Men mag out there i.e GQ, Playboy etc. But from the mags & criteria review above, Im still searching for the Man mag that I luv.

If korg tau any Man mags that korg nak gua try baca, komen k
