Yoohoooo ...... I'm Back!!

The blog has been abandoned for 4 weeks. As an update of what happened all these while, here's a recap of the past 4 weeks.

22.06.2006
Mahisha turned 21 months. 3 more months till she reaches 2 years old.

23.06.2006
My officemates did a surprise advance birthday party for me. It was a simple lunch with pizzas and pepsi. They gave a flower bouquet and a greeting card. Our office cleaner, Billiana the Yugoslavian girl, gave me a glass platter. Ouch!! I was so touched.

24.06.2006
It was my birthday. I baked a pandan chiffon cake for myself. I love pandan cakes. I'm lucky enough to get the leaves here. My friend Indra called me up from KL. I was very happy. Received quite a number of smses from my sisters and some friends. Of course my mom also called to wish. Other than that, nothing special happened.

25.06.2006
We drove 1.5 hours to my sister-in-law's place in Basel. The husband of my other sister-in-law in Sri Lanka was there in transit. We had to visit him as the last time we met him was 3 years ago and he has never met Mahisha.

26.06.2006
After dinner, I had a bloody urine and pain on the right side of my waist. I was scared. Tried calling hubby who was at work but could not reach him. Mahisha and I went to sleep. He came home at midnight. Told him what had happened. He quickly rushed me to the hospital which is just 2 minutes drive from our place. He left me at the emergency entrance and left home as Mahisha was home alone, fast asleep.

I was in terrible pain. It was becoming worse. Clotted blood was coming along with my urine. They checked my urine, blood, pressure and pulse. Then, they scanned both my kidneys as I had severe pain on my right waist. I was told that it could be an infection and that I will have to be hospitalised.

27.06.2006
Had my breakfast and straight away went downstairs for check up. It was a test know confirm how far the infection has gone. The doctor was saying this and that. I was bored and asked him "So, what's your conclusion?" He said "Drink cranberry juice. It would help by 20%". Ok, done then.

28.06.2006
I was discharged. Returned back home. Priya, the babysitter and family came to visited me along with homecooked dinner for us. I felt
very grateful to her.

03.07.2006
Returned back to work after 4 days of medical leave. There were mounts of work waiting for me. My fellow officemate, Gunawan the Indonesian guy, had to give me a helping hand to close the monthly accounting. The whole week was so hectic.

07.07.2006
It was the 7th anniversary of a major disaster in my life. The day the incident called "accident" happened. 7 years ago at about 5:45pm, Metro bus no: 4 ran over my right foot at the junction of Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Sultan Ismail. I was hospitalised in Ampang Puteri Specialiast Hospital for 1.5 months and was on medical leave for 6 months. Till today, I am suffering the injuring. My mom still curses everytime she comes across Metro bus no: 4.

09.07.2006
We were invited for a lunch in my babysitter, Priya's place in conjuction with her son, Harry's 3rd birthday on 07.07.2006. We bought a remote controlled car and I baked a cake for him. When we about to leave, Priya became emotional that Mahisha would not be going to her place anymore.

10.07.2006
Mahisha's 1st day at the Children Day Care Centre. She was very shy, scared and very reluctant to join anyone. She was always clinging to me. I was a totally new environment for her. We spend 2.5 hours there and went back home.

11.07.2006
I left Mahisha for 1 hour and went back home. When I came back, she climbed on me like a little monkey. We left at 11am.

12.07.2006
I left her in the morning at 8:30am and left home. She cried. Then, at 1pm went to take her back home. It seems that she cried for 20 minutes.

13.07.2006
It's Mahisha's 1st whole day alone at the Day Care Centre. When I left her in the morning, she cried a lot. We parted thrice. I could not speak as I was also about to cry looking at baby crying so much. I left and stood outside the building looking up at the 2nd floor where she was. I could still hear her crying for me. I went to the tram stop. The timer at the stop showed 6 minutes. Which means that the next tram will be arriving the stop in 6 minutes time. I rushed to the Day Care Centre again and stood opposite the building looking up at the 2nd floor where Mahisha was. She was still crying for me. My whole body was shivering. I couldn't take it. So, I just walked back to the tram stop. The tram came and I boarded it. I didn't remember anything after that. Suddenly, I was awakened by my handphone. It was Mahisha's caretaker informing me that Mahisha cried for 15 minutes and that now she is just fine. Only then, I realised that I was already in the office at my desk. I have been out of the world thinking only about Mahisha. The whole day I was restless worrying about her. A mother will always be a mother. We realise it only when we have our own children.

16.07.2006
Hubby's friend Selvam and his wife Vasugi came for lunch at our place. Vasugi just came to Switzerland for good after waiting for about 10 months to get a stay permit to live here with her husband. I cooked chicken biryani and acar for them. Made fruit jelly as dessert. I was very happy that they liked my cooking.

22.07.2006
Mahisha turned 22 months. 2 more months to reach 2 years old.

23.07.2006
We were invited by Selvam and Vasugi for dinner at thier place in Marzili which is 2 minutes driving from our place. Hubby told me to bake and ice a cake for them. So, I made a little black Forest Cake. They were very happy to receive a homemade cake as a gift. Hubby dear was very much proud.

26.07.2006
It's my friend Indra's birthday today. I called her up early in the morning before leaving to work. She was so very happy to receive a birthday wish from so far away. I was also happy that I made her day. Happy birthday to u Indra!


Those are all that has happened within 4 weeks. I hope to update the blog promptly from now onwards.
