Aku, Mama & Hospital.

#Hidup lagi blog aku ni ingatkan dah expired.heehee. Sebagai blogger yg low profile (padahal malas!)aku hanya mampu update blog ni setahun 4 kali je. Segala kesulitan harap dimaafkan#

        Oleh itu aku MESTI update jugak blog aku yg low profile ni sebab harini adalah hari terakhir mama kat hospital lepas 49 hari bertapa kat sini. Nanti dah balik rumah jadi bibik sepenuh masa mesti tak da masa dah. (kononnya) .Dan selama 49 hari jugaklah aku bercuti tanpa gaji dari kedai perabut sweden tu. Tapi tak pe, duit boleh cari mak mana boleh tukar ganti kan? Kan? Lagipun aku yakin Gaji aku kerja siang malam kat hospital ni sebagai private nurse mama ni Allah akan bayar dgn lumayan sekali. Allah kan Maha Kaya ;) Sebab dah lama sangat kat hospital nak cerita dari A-Z memang tak daya la korang nak baca nanti.

    So long story cut short, (still panjang lagi) mama masuk Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya pada 1 December 2011. Sehari selepas kitorang balik dari Bandung. Actually sebelum pergi lagi Bandung pun dia dah tak sihat dah. Makan sikit sangat! Dua tiga sudu je satu hari. Boleh tak?? Kitorang bawa juga mama pergi Bandung dengan harapan dia boleh makan banyak sikit kat sana. Tapi cubaan gagal. Sehari selepas balik dari Bandung mama pergi PPUM sebab ada appoinmnet dgn Dr. Pastu haritu jugak kena tahan wad sebab keadaan dia sangat lemah (dah makan sikit sgt), hemoglobin tak cukup, potasium tak cukup dan macam2 lagi la. Masa 1st day mama kat hospital, aku dengan confidentnya mengangkut beg sandang tu pegi hospital dgn anggapan mama akan duduk kejap je kat wad. I was wrong!!! 2minggu pertama kat hospital keadaan mama memang sangat tak memberangsangkan. Tak nak makan langsung, minum air je. Risau tu Allah saja yang tahu. Macam mana badan tak lemah kalau tak makan, setiap masa tidur je. Muka pucat lesi sampai kena masuk 2 beg darah. Air garam pun berbotol2 jugak masuk dalam badan mama. Bila masuk air garam tu, pedihnya Allah saja yang tahu. Tak sanggup aku tengok mama meraung sakit setiap kali kena masuk air garam. Kalau masa kat HUSM dulu aku boleh eksen sebab mama antara pesakit yg boleh dikira paling sihat dalam wad onkologi tu. Tapi keadaan kat PPUM ni berbeza, aku yg jeles tengok pesakit2 lain yg boleh bangun dan makan macam biasa sedangkan mak aku terbaring tak nak bercakap tak nak makan ;(

         Tapi Alhamdulillah selepas 3 minggu kat hospital mama dah mula boleh makan, walaupun sikit itu dah kira ok sebab sebelum tu langsung tak nak makan. Kalau sebut nama makanan je pun dia dah marah. Huhu. Walaupun mama dah boleh makan tapi nutrien yg diperlukan oleh badan dia still tak cukup lagi so Doktor bagi makanan tambahan yg masuk terus ke dalam kapilari darah. Tak silap aku namanya The Parenthal Nutrition. Dekat 2 minggu lebih jugak la mama pakai TPN ni.

        Sejak tinggal di hospital ni banyak benda yang aku belajar, banyak orang yg aku jumpa, dan salah seorang yg aku paling tak boleh lupa ialah Untie Zan. Untie Zan orangnya nampak lebih kurang sebaya dengan mama, tapi sebab dia selalu nampak ceria aku tak boleh agak siapa yg lebih tua. Sebelum untie zan pindah ke depan katil mama, aku dah lama tengok dia sebab katil dia betul2 sebelah pintu dan setiap kali aku nak pergi solat atau cari makanan aku mesti nampak muka ceria dia tu. Sampai Dalam hati aku cakap " makcik ni macam tak sakit pun, macam happy betol duduk hospital". Begitulah setiap hari sampai satu hari nurse tolak masuk katil untie zan ke depan katil mama. Memang betul Untie Zan seorang yang happy go lucky. Macam mana tak happy go lucky, laki dia jaga dia 24jam. Bertuah nya badan! Dr ke nurse ke fisio ke even bangla yg hantar makanan tu pun dia sapa dengan mesra. Tak pernah aku tengok pesakit macam ni. Semangat untie zan memang kuat, aku tengok gaya dia makan makanan hospital tu pun dah tau.. Aku ingat lagi, dia pernah cakap "Tuhan bagi kita penyakit ni kita terima je la" walaupun dia cakap dia terima, aku tau dia bukan pasrah tapi dia redha dengan ujian Allah dan dia tabah menghadapinya sebab setiap yg berlaku itu ada hikmahnya. Walaupun baru kenal seminggu keluarga aku dan keluarga untie zan agak rapat. Kami sering bertukar juadah dan kalau aku nak turun ke kedai bawah aku tanya untie zan jika dia nak pesan ape2. Begitula setiap hari sampai hari untie zan discaj dari hospital pada 21 dec 2011 (kalau tak silap aku).

       Selepas Untie zan keluar hospital, kami lost contact sebab aku tunggu dia sms dan bertangguh-tangguh nak sms dia. Last2 pada 31 dec 2011 , aku dikejutkan dengan sms dari uncle anuar (husband untie zan) mengatakan untie zan telah kembali ke rahmatullah pada 28hb yg lepas. Susah nak percaya! Even Sampai harini aku sukar menerima kenyataan untie zan dah meninggal sebab aku masih ingat ketawa ceria orang sihat dia tu. Tapi aku masih ingat jugak semasa untie zan memanggil aku berborak di katilnya sewaktu uncle anuar sedang tidur, dia mengatakan penyakit kanser payudaranya dah sampai tahap 4 dan dah merebak ke otak dan tulang. Sambil mengusap tangan aku, dia mengatakan yg dia sayang sangat kat aku dan anggap aku macam anak sendiri (sedih jap). Pesanan Untie Zan yg tak kan aku lupa " buat baik lah kat semua orang". Itulah kenangan yg Arwah Untie Zan tinggalkan kat aku. Semoga Allah menempatkan rohnya dikalangan orang yang beriman. Amin.

Panjang pulak cerita ni, tak cukup satu hari nak cerita semua. Ayah pun dah sampai, aku pun tak start kemas barang2 lagi. Nanti sambung lagi cerita Aku, Mama dan Hospital part 2 di lain masa. (doakan aku gigih menyambung cerita ni.hehee) Terima kasih kerana membaca ;)

orang sihat tido kalah orang sakit...zzZZzzz..

road to FINLAND iMAStraveller

Antara Takuya Kimura dan Ice Skating

kasut hockey ice idaman kalbu @,@

Ni yang semangat buat entry ni sebab baru habis tengok cerita Pride. hehehhee. Sebagai kipas-susah-mati Takuya Kimura yang berdedikasi, aku telah men'download hampir kesemua cerita2 yang dilakonkan oleh beliau. Yokatta!!! panjang berjela list kalau nak bagitau satu persatu. Cerita ni aku dah tengok masa sekolah menengah dulu, dekat 10 tahun yang lampau. jalan cerita pun dah lupa macam mana. sekarang bila tengok balik cerita pasal kehidupan pemain hockey ice jepun ni rasa bersemangat pulak nak belajar ice skating. inspired by Takuya Kimura maybe??

 
Takuya Kimura as Satunaka Halu..

Setakat ni kebolehan ber-ice skating hanya cukup2 makan je. brek pon guna dinding lagi, tak pun sambar je orang2 yg berdekatan. Kalau masa main ski dulu boleh la brek dengan menjatuhkan diri sebab jatuh atas snow tebal x sakit, just susah nak bangun je. Tapi ice skating terbalik pulak, jatuh senang nak bangun tapi sakit bon*** and lutut tu Tuhan saja yang tahu.. itae!!

Bila dah pandai (sikit) main ice skating ni rasa seronok betul. poket koyak, kaki rabak, tulang pelvis retak pun dah tak peduli dah. janji dapat meluncur laju atas ais tu (ala2 dewi ais). 

Ice Skating makcik yatie style.




Tak pandai brek? jangan risau, capai saja sesiapa yg ada berdekatan dengan anda ( jaga2 boyfriend orang) ataupun guna saja dinding. bak kata zizan, KITA BOLOS SAJA DINDING ITU!!!! 












perancangan masa depan nak join ice-skating academy ni. belajar  cara2 skate yg betul, cara2 nak brek tanpa tergolek dan langgar orang, cara2 nak reverse skate,  dan macam2 lagi la.. memang mahal sikit tapi berbaloi2! mari! mari! mari!

nampak ke halus mitai tulisan ni? kalau x nampak GOOGLE it ok!         






















































































































rate untuk ice skating kat sunway pyramid ice:
p/s jangan lupa bawa glove n stokin sendiri sebab kat sana mahal!!!!
Current promotion, valid for registration on9 only.
 

Japanese Vocabulary utk hari ini:
Yokatta - It was good/ best nya!!!
Itae - Ouch/ Adoi sakit!!

ROAD TO FINLAND : MY LONG-STANDING DREAM FULFILLED ;)

The Dream :
My name is Nor Hayati Nadzli, and for those who know me well, they would know that I have always wanted to go to Finland, the birth place of NOKIA. My uncle and family moved to Tampere Finland in 1998, and since then I have always hoped that one day I would be able to pay them, and Finland a visit. Unfortunately for me, my dream costs A FORTUNE! And I know the only way for it to be fulfilled is for me to come up with my own money (or rob a bank. Hehehe). The urge to visit Finland increased drastically after my uncle and his family came back to Malaysia for holiday in March 2009. That is when I started my “Finland Fund”. From RM 100 to RM 300 a month, I was finally able to save up to RM 1000 a month by doing some freelancing. Not to forget the restriction from any desire of new clothes, new bags, and FANCY foods! I was truly challenged.

My piggy bank for Finland Fund, April 2009.

The Planning :
After two years of hard work,  I finally I managed to save enough money for my FIRST trip to Europe (yay!),and I found myself a traveling buddy (double yay!). The plan was for us to fly to Tampere Finland from London and stopped by Paris on our way back from Helsinki to London. Flights confirmed, reservations made, the day finally arrived. We depart from Malaysia to London on 12th March 2011, stayed at London for four days before depart to Tampere Finland on 16th March 2011. 
 

The Arrival:
We arrived at Tampere Airport at 5.30pm and it was 0ÂșC outside (temperature of a freezer). It is crucial that you keep yourself warm when travelling during winter season (noted!). I had to put on five layers of clothing, a long john, and my trusty wool muffler to keep my nose from freezing. Bizarre! Experiencing the extreme cold weather made me appreciate the warm and humid weather of Malaysia even more.

 The frozen lakes. Finland has more than 180,000 lakes, more lakes than
any other country in the world.
 
The Walkable Cities:
As the country is established as the safest cities and towns in the world, walking is very common in Finland. We can see people walking almost everywhere, students walking to school, employees walking to their office, pet owners walking their dog, mothers pushing baby prams  and folks walking with and without the aid of ski stick. In Tampere, we travel to town by bus with a return ticket that costs €2.50. The small town can easily be accessed by walking. We walked more than 10km a day, at first it is quite a challenge for me as I have never walked that far in a single journey but I picked myself up after an 80 year old woman walked PAST ME(embrassed!). This walking culture is very good in terms of health. I was impressed that I hardly notice any overweight person and the old folks were still able to walk around, strong and steady even in the very cold weather.

Wow! stylo granny walks in style. you have it granny!

Collapse!
The Observation Tower :
We went to Pyynikki tower which located on west of the Tampere city. The tower setting  is easily accessed with just 15 minutes of walking from the town. Pynnikki also has an outdoor theatre and a small restaurant that caters us with delicious doughnuts on the ground floor.                     

Me enjoying the spectacular view of Tampere from Pyynikki Tower.
The Cottage :
Finland is best known for its great outdoor activities and winter sports are one of them. We went to Sappee, one of the famous holiday destinations in Tampere. We rent a cottage for 3 days and 2 nights at  €540. The cute, cozy, and fully furnished cottage has a living room, kitchen, 1 bedroom with 2 single beds, an attic with 3 single beds, a toilet, and a bath room with built-in sauna. To! Die! For!

The Winter Sports:     
This is my first experience of ski and I fell plenty of times during the training. Ouch! The worst would be when I hit the fence of a ski lift. MAJOR KNOCK DOWN! I was skiing down the slope when I ran out of control and crashed the fence causing it to fall onto an 8 year old boy. Woops! I was very lucky though that the boy was not hurt by the accident, but I was undeniably shocked, I almost gave up! But thinking that this might be my only chance to ski, I got up and reclaimed myself! After numerous falls, I was finally able to control my balance and manage to ski and make a stop without falling. It was the best experience ever!  


Free ski lesson by my uncle. Sifu!
Ski is awesome once once you get the hang of it. Just focus on the 'V' 

  Butt sledging with Aida. This one is tough for adult because you have to balance
 the upper body and hold on a small plastic plate while sliding down the slope.

The Retail Therapy:

There is nothing much we can shop in Finland since the goods are very expensive. However we still need to do some shopping and spend the Euro’s so we went to the Kauppahali (Indoor Market) and bought 3 pieces of fresh smoke salmon for €39. RM 167.70 for 3 pieces of fish is extremely expansive; I can get another leather jacket in London with this price. Despite the unreasonable price, the smoke salmon is very fresh, juicy and addictive!


I love shopping for souvenirs because I think giving souvenirs is one way to share my travel experiences with families and friends back in Malaysia. I wish I can buy more Finland's souvenirs but everything is way too expansive ;(   
                                  

The Public Transportation:
In Finland getting around by public transportation is easy as the trains and busses are well integrated. We travel from Tampere to Espoo by a cosy double decker coaches that cost us only €25 for a single journey. In Espoo and Helsinki we bought a daily ticket at €9 from R-Kiosky (something like 7e). This daily ticket can be use for bus, city train, tram and ferry. The public transportations also cater for the disabled by providing spaces for wheel chair and baby pram. As the cities and places in the country are easily accessed by public transportations, the numbers of people driving cars are very few. Maybe these are one of the factors that put Finland on top of the list for most environmental friendly country in the world. I wish that one day Malaysia also can achieve this level of public transportation system (Malaysia Boleh!).

 The Architecture of Helsinki:

of Sydney Opera house and Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain.
 

So who said money cannot buy you happiness? It really can! My trip to Finland is a life achievement for me because I have proved myself to others that with hard work everybody can afford to travel and fulfill their dreams. All you need is to have the determination to work your savings toward your target amount and dateline, work extra (extra) hard, forget about the unnecessary desired stuffs, pay your PTPTN (you are not going anywhere if you are blacklisted), and pray HARDER.
