Astro B.yond - PVR family commercial

Zhafran is obsessing over PVR family commercial aired in Astro. He keeps on "clicking" the the "button" on the tv. One day while he's taking his nap, the commercial popped out. The next I knew he was already in front of the tv, trying to click on it. It was a joy at first to watch but once i saw his sticky fingers on the tv, it's not a pretty sight anymore! haha!

I wish I knew the "family" behind the "buttons". My son would really love seeing them in real life. Ohh.. I hope he'll not try to "click" on them. Things are going to get ugly! lol! :)

In this scene, the mom and dad were accidentally bumped into each other which is real fun to see.. It catches my attention to watch the whole commercial. They look so cute and funny!

This is my son's favorite scene. By now, he's already in front of the tv and trying to click on the "play" button. Most probably because that the only "button" is within his reach! :)

*Gosh.. he's now trying to click on the images while I'm posting this. ;) Gotta run..

Zhafran can finally walk!

Zhafran already manage to walk a step or two but never across the hallway. I'm so proud to see it. He's now 1 year and 2 months, maybe quite late than others. Oh well.. who cares?

Zhafran admitted to the hospital for mild gastroenteritis

Zhafran was vomitting few days before we took him to Pantai Hospital. Started on Sunday and we brought him over to An-Nur for consultation and received medicine to cure the illness but on Wednesday, he's gone from bad to worst. At the time he lost a total of 900gm of his weight and Dr Azam immediately suggested Zhafran to be admitted on the same day. That was the best decision that I've made. He wasn't eating and slept all the time. If he does awake, he just laying onto his belly and look at me. No movement at all. Even when he sleeps, he wanted to sleep with me and not in his bed. I was so tired as I didn't sleep for 3 days because he even vomits when he sleeps and was so terrified of the idea of his choking his own vomit. It was very hard for me care for him - to see him that way.

Dr Azam took Zhafran's urine, stool and blood sample and there wasn't any trace of anbormailties. Since he weight keeps on declining plus he's not eating well, doctor suggested to give him intravenous drip. The sight of seeing him crying his lungs out just hurts us so bad. The doctor struggle to find a vein as for baby it's not easy to find it. Doctor tried on his hand but no avail finally he 'caught' one on the feet which I think it's great because it's away from his visual. I'm afraid that he might "play" with it if inserted on his hand.

The intravenous drip works wonders. He's energetic in the next morning and start taking his milk normally. We were ready to get out of the hospital but the doctor was very busy that day so we went back later the evening. :)

Now, after few days, he is healthy and has been eating ever since. He eats a lot and gained back the lost grams in no time. He's playful and happier now. :D

Thanks to Dr Azam for the good consultation and being able to tackle the situation very well. :)

Acute Bronchitis

Zhafran couldn't sleep for the past few days and last night was the worst. It worries me. He's having a terrible cough, phlegm and difficulty to breathe. Since Fifi's daughter just got admitted for fever and cough, me and Fauzy immediately think it's a good idea to bring him straight to the specialist. The clinic was packed with feverish children and we waited for a good 3 hours. I was frustrated and thinking that I would never go back to An-Nur again. Everything changes when I meet the doctor. Dr. Siti Arbaiyah is a caring and a very thoughtful doctor. She diagnos it quickly and explain on the cause, sign and symptom briefly in layman's term which I needed as to understand the disease. According to her, Zhafran has Acute bronchitis which is usually caused by a virus. Often a person gets acute bronchitis after having an upper respiratory tract infection such as a cold or the flu. The most common symptom of acute bronchitis is a cough that is dry and later develop heavier cough that may bring up mucus. He is now having a mild fever as well. I hope things will get better soon. Keeping my fingers crossed.

We won! We won the Baby Crawling Competition! Yay!

On the previous entry, I wrote about Baby Crawling Competition organized by Toys"R"Us. We actually went day on Friday (yesterday) to register Zhafran as when I called, we can't make registration via phone. On Friday, the traffic jam was horrible and we were actually are insane as we're brave enough to go through an ocean of car to get there. Not a very wise idea. However, everything paid of..

We came late - well because of the jam - again. People are rushing for last minute shopping Raya which is just around the corner. This week is the last weekend before Raya. I feel time flies very quickly. Hardly had time to breathe let alone having mood celebrating Raya. OK, enough about Raya. It is about Zhafran!

He won the Baby Crawling Competition and won himself a 6 months supply of Pampers! YAY! He actually won something when he's 7 months old! Hehe!

My battery camera died on me so we only have a short clip.. Check it out. ;)

Baby Crawling Competition @ Toys"R"Us Midvalley

I went to Toys"R"Us KLCC to buy Rubiks for Fauzy. At the counter, I stumble upon a very interesting flyer on the Baby Crawling Competition. Zhafran way of crawling is more of like a soldier crawl. He hasn't get the skill of the proper crawler yet. I am not sure if the "crawl" will be accepted in the competition. Ha-ha! I called up the MidValley Toys"R"Us store but sadly they don't accept calls registeration. Thankfully we can walk-in on the day itself. Wish me luck! Hopefully, there'll be enough room for Zhafran's application. Ha-ha!

Grand Prize: 6 months supply of diapers (3 packs monthly)
2nd Prize: RM50 TRU gift voucher
3rd Prize: RM30 TRU gift voucher

I'll update later whether we could get into the competition! YAY!

Fever - Zhafran

Fauzy was having a mild fever and so do Haziq. So it was not a mystery that Zhafran will have fever too. Plus he just got his first teeth. It has been lasting from Friday and thankfully it has been subsided a bit. The body temperature was only about 37ºC. We went to An-Nur hospital to get checked up as a precaution over the terrifying H1N1 cases. It was ok, the doctor said Zhafran has a mild fever. The doctor even gave permission to bring him along to berbuka puasa with my colleague that night. It was a relieve to us. We strip his down all the time and gave him a cold bath. That helps a lot to cool down his temperature. Hopefully he'll get healthy soon. ;)

Zhafran's first teeth

YAY! His first and foremost teeth! His nanny told me bout it today! I am very happy! Can't wait to tell Fauzy..

Crazy colours of Monday blues..

I was shocked to find a substance that looked like blood on my baby's diaper. I decided to pay a visit to An-Nur Specialist Hospital which located in Bangi although Zhafran isn't showing any signs of pain. He actually looks very happy. :) The specialist clinics are all full at the time I arrived so I have to opt to a GP at the hospital. The doctor doesn't know much about babies but he did say it doesn't look like blood. He gave me small bottle for urine sample which I find it hard to use. I wasn't sure on how to make Zhafran pee in it and not to spill it. Then, it hit me. Maybe Makcik Zhafran (his nanny) knows how to do this. Hehe! So I'm out of the consultation room feeling relief and happy. When I reached at counter, without thinking, I open up my wallet and withdrew my credit card. Thinking the fees will be the same as Pantai Hospital. Again.. I was shock to find the fee is very reasonable cheap compared to other private hospitals in Malaysia. I had my credit card prepared but when the staff told me that the fees was only RM10, I was going to faint as I know I don't have cash at all in my wallet (so much for the cost-cutting in the family budget) and obviously they don't accept credit card for a mere RM10, do they? I made a complete fool of myself. I couldn't even pay RM10 for my son's treatment. Haha! And then, it hits me again. Gosh, again.. Thanks to my super duper idea of saving... I've withdrawn all the money and locked it up in my (office) drawer. This is *so to say* to avoid overspend on my monthly allowance. I had.. definately not intended.. to go back to the office and finish up my day..

However while working on an issue, I got a call on my cell. I wasn't sure who the person was but I hurriedly say I'd call back and hang up - mind my manners.. After I've done talking with the Backup team analyst, I picked up the phone and dial-in the numbers. It hit me again, what if the nurse that called me up asking bout the payment.. Before my brain starts to work on a brilliant"excuses", a lovely lady picked up the phone. Guess it or not. It's the lady on the counter whom I "lied" bout going to be briefly withdrawing the money but fled soon after.. Haha! Again, I appologies and told the lady I'll be coming back to make the payment on the same evening - after work. :P

It was raining heavily when I'm on my way to makcik Zhafran's house. I had to.. again.. had to.. spend a couple of hours at her house because the parking lot located quite far from my block. I definately don't want to have Zhafran catching cold in H1N1 frenzy. I was there till 7pm which is when Fauzy gets home. I waited Fauzy at home and have dinner which I bought from a stall on my way home. The nasi tomato has a unique taste which is not my liking. This post will keep me from buying from the makcik ever again. *_*

Fauzy is home and we quickly drove to Bangi. Reached there around 8pm (plus the jam and toll). It was late.. way later than what I promised the lady.. Ok, this is when I reached over the counter. Wearing my smile-innocent face, withdrawing out the precious RM10 from my wallet while asking for the fees. I wasn't so sure if they were sinical, glad or happy? that I'm there to make the payment - since they're all wearing a surgical mask. I'm sure of one thing.. They'll remember my face and it wasn't a pleasant memory, for sure.. Errmm.. maybe a funny- embarassing memory.. LOL! :P

Skip with the embarassing moment. Now it's the moment of truth, we went to paed and have a specialist to have a look on Zhafran. The doctor is young and very charming. The consultation went well. He thinks the discoloration was due to the food intake. As new parents, we are hype and excited on buying foods for our little Zhafran. I think we bought everything on the rack and Zhafran loves it! He loves to eat and we end up experimenting all kinds of food. Well.. duh! baby food. The doctor advice us to take it slow and have him eat a product and one time and see if the color changes. We're going to experiment it and see which product is the culprit. :)
The only thing I can do is to collect the urine sample and have it tested on lab. Better be sure than sorry. I'll update soon once I get the news. Hopefully it's a good one. Ciou!

WE FOUND THE PHOTOS! YAY!

I was surreal when Fauzy shown me the LOST photos of Zhafran! No words to describe the joy that I had. The only thing in my mind is BACKUP the photos! BACKUP the photos! I'm still uploading the photos on Flickr. The connection is really slow. :( That's OK.. As long as the photos are there and safe! :D

Sneak preview.... Please view our gallery for more photos.
