FaizalAzwin + Fawwaz: 1ST OCTOBER 2012

FaizalAzwin turned 2 years today!

& Fawwaz Amsyar turns 1/2 year!

and what an amazing journey it's been :)

9 months of Long-Distance-Marriage

9 months of pregnancy

PLUS 

6 months of parenthood

EQUALS

24 months of love & adventure!!

this year hubby took us for anniversary dinner at Promenade Hotel, KK (we are now on a mission to try out hotel buffets around kk hehe). As it was a weekday, the cafe only had a few customers and the spread was really good too. Less celebration (no cakes, flowers, cards) this time around and just enjoyed each others company (which is getting harder to do now that hubby is always bz working & me having classes).

 tak sempat take picture of salads & main course (there was seafood & Shephards pie) coz we were damn hungry haha. desserts were good & my favourite has to be the vegetable & turkey soup. makan dgn bread & butter. ah terliur remembering it

thank goodness now fawwaz likes to sit in his stroller & look around so going out & about has been alot much easier (becoz he already weighs 9kg!). A few people stopped us to ask 'brapa tahun suda anak ni?'..tahun? huhuuu. setengah tahun bah hehe..

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HUBBY!
HAPPY 1/2 YEAR OLD FAWWAZ AMSYAR KU!

Aween's Birth Experience

the most nerve-wrecking and feared moment, that i had been dreading ever since i knew i was pregnant...for most of my pregnancy i was able to not let the fear get to me too much, but i still broke down & cried in fear when reading other peoples experiences in magazines, online, friends stories...

so when week 38 came by, I was all mind-set & ready to face the reality of childbirth. then tunggu punya tunggu.....hmmmm, xde tande2 pun. hari2 samaaa je, sampai mimpi nak bersalin but bila bangun it was just me needing to empty the bladder. heheh


Me & hubby's plan (& flite tickets) were so hubby wud already be with me a week before my actual due date, and every single day in that week, we went out, almost semua shopping mall yang berdekatan lah ktorg pegi, coz doc told me to walk around ALOT to expedite labour. sooo we went to KLCC (siap terjumpa juya, azmi & alanna lagi kat mothercare!), pavvi, wangsa walk, kl festival city, uptown danau kota, aeon setiawangsa, etc, etc.. and the day before I gave birth, we went walking around titiwangsa lake! hehe, sakit gila tapak kaki becoz of my weight but lucky for me I didn't experience any swollen feet during my pregnancy :)

  looking back at this picture baru realized that i was super large!!

me & tummy during our walk exercise thru titiwangsa

 (perut mcm dah turun masa ni)

cternyer, at our last visit to d doc at 39 weeks, doc ckp dia xnak tunggu due date (EDD: 3rd April) coz baby besar already (weighed 3.6kg) takut nnt xle kuar pulak hehe, so she scheduled me to be induced subuh monday morning, 2nd April. Kna g admit myself at the hospital on sunday nite around 10pm... nervous coz the time was set for us, well....this is it...

*and baby decided to go against docs plan*

April 1st, 2012 (Sunday)


8.30 am : woke up feeling like going to the toilet (as usual) and felt a bit weird coz usually it takes me quite a while to even get out of bed, berat kan, tapi this time laju je, rasa cam badan ringan. thought about it for a bit but then went back to sleep thinking it was just normal

10.15 am : dah bangun for real. now still feeling ringan badan & realized that baby wasn't actively moving around like always. hmmm, decided to tell mom about it. Mama terus risau & told me to get ready to go to d hosp to check, sambil tu selawat & ckp kt baby to gerak just to make us know he was ok. I tried not to panic & kept thinking positive thoughts 'baby tngh tido nii'. After I had taken a shower & ready to go to the hosp, my mom talked to my tummy again & miraculously baby kicked once!! baiknyaa dia dgr ckp nekma! then we were zoooomm off to hosp. Hubby muka still pucat & worried, sampai drive pun amek jln jauh. huuu

10.45 am : arrived at the hosp trus pegi emergency, told them we just wanted to check our baby coz couldnt feel much movement & they terus sent me to the labour room area. nurse tu dtg bawak wheelchair but i said 'takpe saya leh jalan', 'puan duduk biar saya tolak'. so i sat down, which really felt unnecessary coz it wasn't like i was in pain or anything, hehe, rasa mcm mgambil kesempatan pulak.


11.00 am : was already at the labour room, I was their only patient that morning so I was fully attended to. I was told to lay on the bed coz they wanted to place the CTG reader on my tummy. So ada 2 wire lah connected to the machine, one to read baby's heartbeat, the other to measure my contractions, she left me and said she wud be back in 10 minutes to see the results. In the meantime, hubby came & sat with me, mama was outside in the waiting area, orang selain husband xleh masuk. So we both layan tv.


11.15 am : nurse came back with doctor, not my doctor but the one who was on duty, x ingat nama dia but baik jugakla. so they monitored the CTG readings and doc said dia nak check bawah, which meant a VE (vaginal examination), after doing so the doc said I was already dilated 3cm! errr, tapi tak sakit pun? I said to the doc, macam xcaye pun ada, mulala rasa cam doc tu salah haha. That meant I wasn't allowed to go out anymore, the time had come, I was on the way to give birth! what the...dahla dah set mind to be ready for admission tonite, tiba2 kna tahan trus. huuu. "Tapi nurse, saya belum makan lagi, mcamane?" , i had heard that once ur in the labour room, no more eating or drinking was allowed. The nurse replied, "laa, dah tngahri xmakan lagi ke? takpe la, mkn sandwich bolehla, berat2 xleh, then lepas mkn kna stop terus, takut nnt muntah". Satisfied with that answer, told hubby to find me something to eat, and he sent mama back home too. he bought me some scones and milo to fill my tummy.


note: the nurse & doc asked me if I wanted an epidural now, I really didn't know! I wasn't hurting at all, and I didn't know if i cud handle the pain when it came. In the end we just asked my mum, she advised me not to take it coz i wudnt feel d urge to push & she also said to hubby "azwin tu sebenarnya kuat tahan sakit, tapi selalu mengada2, dia boleh tahan tu", and that statement actually boosted up my confidence 100%. Honestly, aku pegi dentist nak cabut gigi pun mengigil ketakutan, inikan pulak giving birth??. haha, well mom always knows us the best!


12 noon : me alone in labour room, waiting for hubby to get back so i started smsing my girlfriends, in my mind 'ouhh, no wonder orang leh update fb when their in the labour room' but of course i didn't do that, just wanted the comforting words & support from my besties. Hubby comes back & we remember to take some pics (byk gmbr aku free hair hence the cropping hehe)

i stopped drinking & eating at 1pm & had to stay on the bed coz of the CTG monitoring. boring! so i played wif my handphone & watched tv (masa tu cter melodi kot). Hubby blum makan since morning so i persuaded him to go and eat something, i assured him i wud be fine, sakit pun belum datang lagi. In my perfect dream I had calculated that if I dilated normally (1cm per hour), I wud be giving birth by 7pm. I was excited & nervous at the same time. While hubby was gone eating the nurse came to check up on me 'Ada sakit2?' she asked, 'emm, xde lagi', she asked when was the last i ate and said she was gonna insert some medicine into me for easy pooping, it wud empty out my bowels (ohhh i just wish i cud have a dose of this everytime im having constipation!), main sms2 lagi then rasa cam nak g berry (buang air besar), went to the loo & had the most satisfying 'investment' ever! haha, kosong terus usus!


went back on the bed, and waited for hubby to come back, when he did I excitedly told him about my dump hahaha, so nothing much happened after that just waited around, me happy coz i wasn't hurting yet, and berharap I was dilating nonetheless. Nurse came back and put me on CTG again so I cudn't move around as much as I wanted too, baring je kebas badan, I was carrying a heavy perut kayy


3pm : nurse & doc come again to check on us right after cter Nona habis kat tv. The doc asked "dah rasa sakit2 dah?", now I was starting to get worried coz my answer was still the same. "No". "Kita check lagi skali ye bukaan dah berapa, relax sangat awak ni"<-- boleh blah tak statement?, so they did another VE, this time me & hubby noticed she was holding a long silver instrument and used it, I just thought it was for measuring dilation or something, then when I saw a glimpse of her hand I saw blood on the docs fingers! suddenly felt a gush of water from below, I tot I had peed myself. then the doc told us I had only dilated to 4cm in the past 3 hours, which was slow.


Doc tanye for the last time, 'jadi awak nak tak amek epidural skrg dah 4cm? lepas dah 5cm onwards rugi kalau nak amek coz nanti susah dah nak masuk jarum time contractions dah kuat', me *& hubby ikut nasihat mama, so we opted not to take it, in my heart i was just praying to god that i didnt faint or die when the pain actually comes!! hehe, the nurse added on, 'takpe if x amek epidural pun , if tak tahan ada gas or injection tahan sakit', so that gave me some kinda relief.


note: so doc blah camtu je, me & hubby cam blur kejap, ok whut just happened? hubby panggil nurse to ask 'apa doc buat tadi ye?', nurse bgtau, "ohh, dia dah pecahkan air ketuban puan, lepas ni mungkin kerap lagi la start sakit contraction", wokey slambe takde warning..


3.30 pm : sure enuf, started to feel small pain in my abdomen, mcm sakit perut nak berry, but then i tot, dah habis berry dah tadi, so I glanced over to the CTG scan, i cud see the contraction reader was moving, 15% contractions. yep, here we go!


slowly but surely my contractions were getting stronger. Aku tak buat pulak mcm my online pre-natal classes suruh, time ur contractions apart, chewah padahal dah hafal dah 5-1-1 rule tu :D boleh rasa la, sakit for a few seconds/minits? (felt longer than that tho), then slowly subsided. Masa sakit tu, mmg tak putus2 la baca selawat, ayat kursi, and segala ayat yang dihafal la, for me, it really attacked me at the lower back, time dah leh rasa sakit tu nak dtg dah suruh hubby cepat2 urut blakang dengan kuat, then when the hurt stopped baru boleh concentrate on HBO, haha, it felt like back pain plus at the same time sakit perut cam constupation sangat2..


makin lama makin kerap, and I actually amused myself by looking over to see how much percentage of contraction reading was coming out on the graph. Ada yang sampai 70% plus plus! I think, thinking of other stuff to occupy my mind kept me not thinking about the pain so much. of course in addition to hubby strong massages and reading ayat kursi wif me :)


5 pm : the doc came to check my cervix again, she was going off duty at 6pm, and my gyne (dr. fauziah) started her shift at 6pm. She checked the CTG and told me that there were fluctuating readings of my baby's heartbeat. Contractions were 'cantik sangat'. and she felt my tummy to see if baby had fully engaged. Unfortunately baby was still high up in my tummy, and was not proceeding downwards as he shud be doing by now.


After doing the VE, she told me I was still at 4cm. Ok, now this was when all my positive thinking, my energy & hope just took a downturn. I was demotivated. I felt like I had been so strong handling my contractions naturally but wasn't rewarded with progress. The doc then told me she had called dr. fauziah & they both agreed that my baby was very much big (in proportion to my body), sambil tambah ayat "ayahnya besar, maknya kecik, kesian maknya", me glancing to see hubby's face, dia macam terasa sket like "oh this is my fault now everyone keeps blaming me for being big" heheh. The doc continued her theories and said, doc bagi option ni, nak emergency c-section tak sekarang? patutnya by now dah open 7-8cm, but still no progress. 

Honestly my first reaction was surprised. Memang tak terfikir langsung la nak c-sec coz all this while we have had green light all the way for a normal delivery. So immediately I said 'Saya betul2 tak nak kena operate, please, if boleh nak try for normal, can I wait till dr. fauziah comes to hear her advice?'. The doc said ok, she wished me luck and went off her shift.


so then the contractions continued, and the gap between them seemed to not exist, my back was hurting immensely, I think more than my contracting tummy. I tried moving alot, eventho the CTG readers were still stuck on me, I tried sitting up straight, laying on both sides so hubby cud massage me easier. If it weren't for the CTG i think I wud be walking around the labour room to lessen the pain


7 pm : dr. fauziah comes in 'Assalamualaikum! baby taknak kluar lagi ke ni??' haha, i just had to laugh and replied 'itula doc, tak tau knapa ni'. So my doc quickly checks my records, and does a VE to see how much i had dilated, SADLY baru je 5cm :( she said 'patutnya by now according to ur contractions and how long u've been in the labour room u shud be giving birth anytime soon now' . She showed me my progress chart. Btulla cakap dia, contractions chart was 'cantik', perfect progress (means that I was already experiencing contractions ready to give birth but my cervix was still too slow in dilating plus baby was not fully engaging). progress chart dilation plak hampeh mendatarrrr (-____-)


now my doc plak started talking about getting an emergency c-sec, she still said it was an option but she would not allow me to be more than 8 hours in the labour room (which i was nearing to already!), but I was really blur at that moment & just said 'please doc, doc punya advise apa? if boleh mmg saya xnak kna operate'. Dr. fauziah said my progress was too slow, and baby's head was trying to engage (dah lonjong try nak masuk laluan) but still not fully going down, plus his heartbeat was fluctuating and inconsistant. she also said, 'takut nanti tunggu bukaan fully open nnt bahu baby pulak tersangkut' (sape tak horror dgn statement tu??) so for the safety of the baby, with a reaaally heavy heart me & hubby said ok.


7.15 pm : the nurse & doc terus prepared me to be sent to the operation theater, but the moment they stepped out of the room my tears came down like a waterfall, an indescribable feeling (will indulge more on what i felt in later posts) of disappointment, failure and defeat. I was to be cut open :( hubby was comforting me when the nurse came in to shave my lower tummy and said "eh, nangis ke?, jangan la gitu, kita memang merancang nak normal delivery, tapi Allah yang tentukan semua, InsyaAllah ok". Tenang jugakla hati bila dgr dia ckp mcmtu. Then the nurses pushed me down to the OT (fyi, contractions were coming like crazy, and lagi sakit coz hubby xleh nak tolong urut..huuu), we had to go down in the lift and once we entered the OT, hubby wasnt allowed to follow me in coz I was going to be asleep thru d operation. last glance at hubby & his face was worried sick, i think more pucat than me!


once we entered the OT, I was already starting to shiver coz it was damn cold, they told me to lay on the extra cold OT steel table and I did all that while cringing in pain, then a nurse asked "knapa Puan? sakit contraction eh?", "ha'ah" I answered between gasps of breath. "Oh, contraction mmg takkan hilang sampai lepas kluar baby". urghh. ada aku tanye ke? Aku bajet, at least ada bantal ke kan, hehe, jangan harap la nak kna bedah dia bagi bantal plak. then after a few minutes which felt like forever coz of my contractions, the anaesthetist came and stood next to my head and started talking to me calmly, "Puan saya nak masukkan ubat ye, kte kasi full so puan akan tidur thru operation, skrg Puan baca Al-Fatihah, Ayat Kursi and apa2 ayat lain". Tenang dengar her voice I started reading the ayats and think i fell asleep during Ayat Kursi

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

9.40 pm : Suddenly woke up to a sharp pain to my tummy/abdomen, and terus sambung baca ayat Kursi tadi, in my mind 'sakitnyaa contraction nii', so i decided to voice out my pain, "ouch, sakitnya perut!', then 2 nurses came (i cudnt open my eyes yet, n hearing was faint but getting clearer), i cud hear them talking tho! "Alamak, bius kat tgn kiri ni tak jalan la, tersekat!".. urgh.. what? I started shouting out questions, belum lagi start ke? perut saya sakit ni!, then a nurse came up to me, "its ok Puan, semua dah selamat, pembedahan dah habis, sekarang saya nak masukkan bius kat tgn kanan Puan ye". Haaa? dah habis??? so the pain i was feeling was my freshly sewn up wound! yargghh. despite my agonizing pain, I just had to ask "baby mana? baby ok? boleh saya tengok?", I was starting to shiver violently coz the pain was killing me, plus i was freezing cold. Nurse jawab "baby sihat Puan, ada kat nursery, suami Puan tngah azankan". After hearing that answer, I was just relieved, I felt "If tuhan nak amek nyawa aku skrg pun xpe" (tngah sakit pun boleh terfikir ayat drama kann), but the pain slowly subsided after the new painkillers started kicking in. So i just layed there


few minutes later, I hear my hubby's voice asking for me (I was still in the OT), and he came by my side and rubbed my cheek. I was still shaking, and hubby asked why and when I cud be taken to a proper ward. After much hustle n bustle they transferred me to the maternity ward. Nurse gave me the small button to control my painkinller dosage, if the pain got worse I cud raise my own dose! haha, boleh high kot, but I chose not to be too dependent on the painkiller and never raised my dosage. Dr. Fauziah also came & told us the real reason why baby had a hard time going down to d birth canal despite those strong contractions, his umbilical cord was wrapped twice around his tiny neck! Subhanallah! Syukur sgt that everything went ok & we opted for the csec (but honestly if we knew earlier we wudn't have waited till d contractions were full on! a risky operation for both of us!)


note : asked doc why they didn't detect earlier n why masa aku dtg2 tu tak terus ultrascan. Doc nye response is dat tali pusat terlilit kt leher baby is not smthing unusual, even ada baby yg lahir with it terlilit around their neck, only if terlilit kuat tu yang bahaya, if ktorg waited to hv normal delivery it wud have caused lilitan around his neck to be fatal. and yeah, X JWB SOALAN KAN. so relieved everything went ok.


10.30 pm : my mum & bro's came to see me. mama & hubby told the nurse to bring our baby to the room (I hadn't even seen him yet! hubby ada tunjuk gambar kt camera je), then the nurse came & sent him to us. I looked at him, & cudn't believe he came out of my tummy! he looked big all bundled up. Mama carried him & put him in my arms (I was still hurting from my tummy downwards- i hate operations!) and I just stared at him. It was magical. And I straightaway saw his daddy's features on him hehe, long eyelashes, batang hidung tinggi, mulut paling sama bentuk. Adorable!!

and with that. I became a mummy! (wow)

dah 3 bulan 9 hari baru post hehe

A Great Joy Came :)

Alhamdulillah, me & hubby received the greatest gift on April 1st. 

A healthy & kicking (literally!) bundle of joy, our baby boy :)

Assalamualaikum & Hi! My name is 
Fawwaz Amsyar Bin Mohd Faizal

FaizalAzwin: 1st Year Anniversary {1.10.11}

almost 2 months after our anniversary i just had to post some pics of what we did for our first year anniversary. 


our anniversary fell on a saturday and actually 1st October is a state holiday (Official birthday of Yang di-Pertua Sabah) so no worries about taking a day off in the future hehee.


well the night before (friday) , i had my accounts and finance class T_T, spoiler habis kan baru berangan nak pegi check-in hotel ke apa. after class (around 10.30pm) i was so tired and really sleepy, siap tidur dalam kreta lagi on the way back. sampai rumah i dragged my feet upstairs to our apartment and almost immediately fell on our leather couch. ahhh heaven! by then it was already around 11.30pm and oh don't forget the fact that i was 14 weeks pregnant so i fall asleep easily :D


then i wake up from my sleep and all the lights are off and hubby is waking me up saying 'sayaaaangg, happy first anniversary!!!' he was standing next to the couch holding a whole indulgence cake wiff candles....12midnite suprise..heee sweet sangat2 coz he bought a cake while i was at school :)

alot of cake for just the 2 of us rite? hehe, that weekend my bro was at home so adalah orang tukang makan jugak.


on saturday we didn't go out in the morning, just spent quality time at home coz after lunch i had a 3 hour statistics class. how fun!! :p memang x fun la, but after it was over hubby picked me up and we got ready to have dinner in the city. this time we decided to try out dinner at Hyatt hotel :) food was good, ambiance was romantic and there was live jazz music :)

pinky daddy-to-be

eventhough we didn't do much but it was super-extra special coz our little miracle turned 14 weeks which meant we were at the end of the first trimester and happily entering our second trimester :) Alhamdulillah

300 days of love!

today we have been husband & wife for 300 days :)

wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for our wedding ticker

it feels extra special because we are finally living together like a majority of married couples (total 18 days now)

the 300 days have been full of learning, patience, understanding & most importantly LOVE (scratch the fact we were apart for 70% of those 300 days) im soo grateful!!

tq for always taking care & pampering me :)

for making me laugh

for letting me win all the time. heee

and for always believing in me & supporting everything I do

theres always a reason to celebrate love rite?

H O N E Y B U L A N : R E D A N G

heeeheeee, 6 months after our Honeybulan, maka baru aku tertype pasal our love getaway :)

original plan masa sebok berwedding planning, was just to go to Pangkor Island Resort coz hubby's friend graciously gave us a voucher. Dah saat2 akhir (2 months before our wedding), tiba2 syg calls and says he had changed his mind. 

'Aku rasa mau pergi Terengganu la'

ermm, reaksi bridezilla aween pada waktu itu? risau..risau risau risau (bace dgn nyanyi lagu bodoh tu), cukup duit ke tetibeee je last minute nak pegi Redang, pastu kat Laguna plak. Syg kata jgn risau, insyaAllah ada rezeki nye (and hes always right usually). Then we made the deposit & confirmed our love date to:-

Laguna Redang Resort

Pulau Redang

Terengganu ;)

4D 3 N

INFO: we got a promotional priced package, as we were going towards the end of the year (Resorts in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia are closed from November-March due to the Northeast Monsoon), about 10-15% less, package includes  meals, ferry transfer, all activites and bus tiket to airport

dalam negara je.. hubbyku ini, susah gila nak kuar dari msia, nak pergi Thailand, dia takut nanti aku kena culik & kena potong kaki & tangan & he'll find me 5 years after in a freak show event (familiar tak cter ni, thanx to the gory email penah dapat dolu2).

haih, so aku cadang Bali, Indonesia. Dia takut plak earthquake, nanti ktorg kena telan bumi,, aduhh.. eventho aku dah cakap berulang kali, if nak jadi malapetaka, tak kira dah kita kat mana, kat dalam rumah pun boleh jadi, but, dia masih taknak (jadi tahun ni aku berazam nak heret dia kuar dr msia skejap, ahh, singapore pun jadilah!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

we went on our honeymoon, 2 days after our wedding (4th October), penat giler ok, masih tak cukup tido from before wedding, the day after wedding, lepas dah 2-3 jam session bukak hadiah in the morning, ktorg pegi open house lagi & settlekan barang2 pinjaman/hutang yang mana boleh, kul 3pagi bru dpt lelapp..

we headed off to our beautiful room facing the sea,

our Premier Sea Room ;)

our room was facing the sea, ground level

from google images

(gambar bilik takde rupanya,
yang ada hanye video tuk tatapan family)

we entered our room at around 3pm, after throwing down our bags, taking a good shower, me & hubby were really2, exhausted! we hadn't had a full nite sleep for almost a week (plus 2 nites of wedding without hardly an hour sleep), so we set our alarm clocks to go off at 7.30pm, in time for dinner :)

i wake up to find its already dark outside, hubby is still sleeping like a baby. dgn confidentnya aku terus bgun nak bersiap ke dinner, i woke hubby up & we looked at our clocks & realized, it was already 1am in the morning! hahah, tido tak ingat dunia dah tu..dah melepas satu dinner sedap kt laguna, but in exchange got a real good nites sleep :) sgtt worth it (tapi tido balik dlm keadaan lapar gila coz ktorg xde bawak makanan satu apa pun tuk mkn kt bilik, hehe)

DAY 2 : 5th October 2010

bangun awal! (dah hampir half a day smlm tido je kan) pastu pegi breakfast. makan xhingat dunia psl buffet dia best & sume sedap! seriously, food review tuk Laguna Redang! sangat puas hati (that is why i gained weight after honeymoon) hehe! dah kenyang & gembira perut dah penuh, ktorg balik bilik, bersiap for the snorkeling trip to the redang marine park. speed boat bording time: 9am

abg baywatch sedang tekun menyapu sunblock x mahu kulit terbakar

before boarding the boat, we had an instructor brief us on the safety aspects to be taken at the park, what to do & not to do, and some emergency signals to do if we had trouble in the sea. after soaking all the info in, we boarded the speed boat & reached the marine park. cantik sesangat, again xde byk amek gmbr, psl x bawak camcorder takut hilang, hehe

byk gila ikan

after around 2 blisfull hours of swimming around, feeding the fist and bumping into them as well, we were called back for the boat to head back to laguna

then it was time for lunch. makaaaaan lagi dgn happynyee

next agenda, melawat kawasan resort. (ada snorkeling trip again at 3pm but we skipped that one)

the sea was gorgeous. bluey-turquise green

dah jenjalan sekejap, dpt msg from vendor (kacau daun btul),

dia nk mintak bayaran tang tu jugak,

so we asked the resort staff for internet.

fair enuf:

ini cekik darah ok! but keadaan memaksa, we payed, for 2 pc! hahaha. apelagi dah bayar mahal, online banking tu 5 minit je, the rest of the time was spent looking at the sooo many pics of our wedding uploaded by our friends on fb, duk balas2 comment, like2 gambar, and of coz comic reading (husbands hobby when he gets online)



selepas berjaya heret syg kluar dari internet room (err, ke it was vice versa? hehe) kitorg sambung tour sekeliling resort, not much to explore, ada byk guest rooms, and lovely ballroom. the we stopped at the pool side & had ice-creammm

adventure diteruskan dgn lepak2 tepi pantai, sandy white beach, tido atas kerusi kayu, dibuai angin bayu (ok that ryhmes) and op-cos cam whoring

FaizalAzwin IN LOVE

dah puas bergambar, ktorg lepak kat bilik tngok tv, dia mmg ada one channel that shows the movie 'Summer Holiday' all day long-24 hours, even so we didnt actually watch the movie from beginning to end! hehe, sebelum gerak g lunch, trus siap barang tuk snorkelling

sudah kenyang lepas lunch balik bilik gather snorkeling stuff to go on our next trip, snorkelling at the open sea! weeee (takut!)

the other tourists on our boat, ktorg je msian, the rest were from korea, japan & europe. cool

thats the other boat in front of us, ingat belum sampai, tetibe org boat ckp, ok we're here. scary gler tngah-tngah laut snorkeling :D

me and syg terjunla ke dlm laut, aku ni takut sket brenang in the wide open sea.. (hasil dr kecik tngok cter jaws), so i just clang on to syg :) my heroooo..lagipun kata honeymoon kan

nampak cam stranded je semua orang kna tinggal dlm laut. okeh truth be told, byk coral kt open sea tu dah mati, so to me lagi la mende tu nampak scary kan...wargh, ada a few parts that the coral was still colourful & gorgeous tho..

dah puas snorkel in the open sea, we dragged ourselves on to the boat again, and cam-whoring seround seblum tourist lain naik boat :)

abaikan the elbows, their not broken,
my bones are a over flexible, heh

dah balik snorkeling tu, ktorg mmg dah lapar gila! so we had some potato chips that were in our room, then trus kluar semula and terjun ke dalam swimming pool! yahuu! wajib cuba semua! masing2 layan lap sendiri. best gila workout swimming :)

after kanak2 ribena dah puas berjemur, i evenhad the wrinkly skin already from being too long in the water, ktrg balik lepak2 mandi manda, terus pegi melahap kat dinner buffet, bbq nite :)

malam tu lepak2 kat tepi laut, bestla our last nite, ada live music band, dorg nyanyi semua bahasa, french, malay, english, spanish, besssst sgt! then dh mgantuk ktorg tapau a slice of cake for next day nye activity

balik bilik smbung sesi cam-whore

DAY 4 : 7th October 2010

pasang alarm clock nak bangun before sunrise, ehehe, berjaya bangun. plannye nak tngok sunrise sambil mkn cake, oh, cheesecake ye! (gemuk lagi) but sambil tngok2 matahari timbul, sambil borak dgn hubby yang separa lalok & mamai, tngok langit tak brape cerah, mendung2 sket, so it wasn't such a clear sunrise, but breath takingly gorgeous all the same :)

hubby tertido rite after sunrise

(eh, yang ko nmpk kurus time ni)

mendung sunrise

took our time to kemas2 barang a bit, then had our brekfast and balik bilik angkut barang to hotel lobby. after checking out, we waited for the ferry to pick us up (45mins journey), sbelum tu , cam whoring of coz

while waiting for the ferry to bring us to main land ..

smpai je kt main land naik bus ke K.T.

bus laguna brought us to Kuala Terengganu for some shopping and jalan2 on our own (our flite pun kul 8pm) so we did some souvenir shopping, bag shopping kat pasar payang & makan sedap kat gerai tepi jalan jeh. bus suh bkumpul semula at 5pm

tngah tunggu depan bus, waiting for the other tourists to arrive, syg started calling his vendor for our sabah wedding. it was then that i knew 'wokeyh, honeymoon is officially over! next sabah wedding prep coming up!'. heheh, blum smpai kl lagi syg dh start stress semula..ciann dia

then we reached the airpot, bla bla bla smpai kl sentral, parents datang ambil anak2 mereka yang masih love-struck & rindukan pulau redang itu :)
