Just watch your back Sweetie

I'm posting this post from Ipoh. That's right. I had to take EL even though I have yet to get my entitlement for annual leave. For one reason and one reason only. Family comes first. It begins with such a beautiful start in the morning....

Hubby turns 3-0 yesterday and we had planned to have family dinner. Since I'll be attending orientation and training I can get off work early. But one phone call from my mom changed everything! My dad was warded to CH hospital. For your information my dad has been in and out hospitals for his heart condition. Nothing serious. Just a mild heart attack and few days of bed rest and medication. So neither mom nor my sister who was with him expected anything worse could happen.

Now, my mom is in KL for a convention. And she is still waiting for her relocation to CH. So she is still in Jengka whilst my sister is accompanying my dad in CH. Since we did not expect anything serious, my mom decided to visit him on the weekends. Unfortunately, sister informed me, CH had decided to send dad to GH in Ipoh because his condition just got worse.

At this point, my mom was already having a panic attack. This is her other half we're talking about. Dad went to the CH hospital for a his cough but ended up with severe heart attack. What the he**???!!!! He was only having the usual mild attack and ended up in an ambulance to see a specialist!! To make things worse, my sister was unable to get hold of my mom and she got yelled for not informing mom immediately.

I called my supervisor and informed her that I'll heading to Ipoh and won't be coming to work. Bless her angel soul! Picked up my brother so he'll take mom's car from the hotel. Got my mom and went straight to Ipoh. Arrived in the middle of the night. Dad was sound asleep. Got ourselves checked-in into a nearby hotel and rest for the night.

And today my mom got the whole story from yesterday. The truth was the nurses and doctors in CH has given my dad not only the wrong medication, but an overdose as well!!!! He had rashes all over his body. Body temperature went down and he was shivering. Thank God for their immediate decision to send to a specialist even though with being such an idiot for not listening to my dad in the first place! Ipoh's doctor immediately recognise his condition as allergic reaction instead of the severe heart attack as written on his report. My mom is planning to sue the hospital for malpractice! But she got mellowed. Instead she just wanted to give them a piece of her mind. As of now, Ipoh's doctor is planning to inform IJN to schedule for dad's triple bypass soon.

Thank you for everyone who has helped my family when needed! As for those people who are resposible for sending my dad off for a lousy trip down the hill, watch your back, Sweeties!! Because mom is coming to town!!

Let's pray....

I have never said that being a working mom is easy. Neither is a stay at home mom. Both had their own bittersweet experience that only a mother can feel. And just like a fingerprint, no mother could ever have exact same feeling towards their own experience.
After 3 weeks of working, it is still too early for me to experience the exhaustion of coming home to continue with house chores. Yes, I still cook dinner. With good planning, I don't have to wait to defrost my poultry. Hubby took care of the dirty laundry while I'll be the one enjoying my favourite show on TV folding them. Somehow we take our own share of cleaning up the house. Which doesn't really happened that often. But I'm glad that everything is going pretty well for now. Though I'm having a hard time dealing with the fact that I left my kids to my in-laws. They're not exactly the right person you'd want to leave a very vocal kid who would just scream if he wants something. Yes, I'm that bad of a mother. I don't let them scream at my house but somehow manage to let them off at my in-laws. Well.... Seems Hubby had the same problem too with them.
Enough about that...Let's get really serious now...
Last Saturday, we were shopping for some shrubs to start of my so-called garden, when we got a call from MIL informing us that Hubby's aunt was in the hospital with head injury. She was a victim of snatch theft! We decided to drop by the hospital since we were already on the road. Here I was thinking it was an injury caused by a fall. Boy I could not be more wrong!!! The truth was she was ambushed (MIL used that term) and got hit in the head with something very hard that I believe gave a mild concussion. By the we saw her head was covered and I could see dried blood on the sheet below her head. This happened in PJ. In public!! Well, most of these incidents do happen in broad daylight with people around. Somehow I felt ridiculous at how these scumbags can actually get away with their evil way of getting what the want. Trust me when I say they are not after your cash. It's something more important. Your identity! You think identity theft only happens in foreign country? Think again!!!
As for the person responsible for what happen to this very sweet lady. I curse you!!! You hear me??!! What goes around will come around. And I pray that you get the most just punishment for your evil scheme to survive. People live not to bring misery to this world, but somehow human does not comply with just being happy. Some idiots get their adrenalin rush by causing pain to people. And it is not my responsibility to rationale these behavior. To me... you are at the scumbags who will rot in hell or better yet, get killed in the act. Either way, it doesn't end well for you!
So now.. I pray.....

It's past midnight...

and I am still awake.. I'm sleepy but awake..
Living in a neighborhood where you are the minority certainly has paid it's toll on us. Ever since New year we have been bombarded with fireworks war. That house trying to outdo this house is no longer an expression. It a way of life. They are trying very hard to outdo each others flashy and loud fire crackers that none of them even gave a slightest thought of people with babies and children who get scared easily by extra loud exploding sound. Alhamdulillah my kids managed to sleep soundly even when the fireworks are lit just right in front of our house. I'm not talking about those firecrackers we played during Ramadhan and Eidufiltri. I'm talking about gigantic fireworks.
I thought fireworks and firecrackers has been illegal for years. So how did these people got hold of the license or permission to blow up these fancy bombs? I just want my peaceful night back!!! I have to get up early and brace through idiots on wheels!!!!!
