Everytime when i got the urge to blog, it will be this late. The time shows 11.25 pm and i am already paranoid because i need to have a good sleep before i woke up for Sahur and to work.

I wanted to upload some photos before the fasting month, wanted to blog about my birthday cake, wanted to blog about breaking fast at a friend’s place but i don’t know why i couldn’t bring myself to upload all the beautiful photos. Why???????

And if you follow my twitter, you know what i’ve got and what is going on too. I am actually pretending to be ‘ON’ updating my twitter regularly all because of the new thang lah. Ha ha ha ha. But im not really sure how far i can go with my BB. I am not familiar with BB but well, im trying to get some help from the husband’s manager cause he used to work for BB previously and is expert with that system. Err…but i got the feeling that my husband could not be bothered to layankan my permintaan yang tak necessary langsung. What luck!

I am not prepared for Raya this year. I don’t know why lah and don’t ask me why ok. All i know that i need to treat my mum for some hari raya stuffs cause she deserve it.

Ok nite. Will be back very soon with photos. I think i need new digicam. 14 megapixel Canon digicam. Amacam? Cool tak? But you think i can get it? Ahhhh..dont think so lah. My husband confirm nag at me one. After Pixon, nak BB, dah BB nak digicam pulakkkkk…alahaaiiiii.

Till i blog again~

Currently, I have to go for TB check-up to ensure that I was not being infected by it. Not only me but to some of my colleagues.

Apparently, one of my colleagues was infected by TB and therefore, the management are measuring their safety for all the staffs and has therefore decided to send us for further medical check-up, only to selected staffs.

Few of my colleagues have been discharge, meaning that they are not infected by it and need not go for further check-up. Unfortunately, I was not that lucky but I was not confirmed having that disease too. I happened to have coughs for the past few weeks and therefore, the X-ray showed that my lungs are not fully cleared.

I was then given antibiotics and will need to return back to their clinic for further check-up. Actually, this is not what has been bothering me. I am being paranoid with works and I am not sure whether loss of appetites is one of the main causes of my stress at work. Just in case you need to find out what is TB. 

I tell you eh, working in this department is killing me. Not only that we are being under paid and no bonus for July’09, ada penyakit lagikkk!! Lepas satu, satu tau!But i don’t blame my colleague who are being infected by it. These are all God’s will. We never know what God has in store for us.:D

What is tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection caused by slow-growing bacteria that grow best in areas of the body that have lots of blood and oxygen. That’s why it is most often found in the lungs. This is called pulmonary TB. But TB can also spread to other parts of the body, which is called extrapulmonary TB. Treatment is often a success, but it is a long process. It takes about 6 to 9 months to treat TB.
Tuberculosis is either latent or active.
 Latent TB means that you have the TB bacteria in your body, but your body’s defenses (immune system) fight the infection and try to keep it from turning into active TB. This means that you don’t have any symptoms of TB right now and can’t spread the disease to others. If you have latent TB, it can become active TB.
 Active TB means that the TB bacteria are growing and causing symptoms. If your lungs are infected with active TB, it is easy to spread the disease to others.
How is TB spread to others?
Pulmonary TB (in the lungs) is contagious. It spreads when a person who has active TB breathes out air that has the TB bacteria in it and then another person breathes in the bacteria from the air. An infected person releases even more bacteria when he or she does things like cough or laugh.
If TB is only in other parts of the body (extrapulmonary TB), it does not spread easily to others.
Who is most at risk for TB?
Some people are more likely than others to get TB. This includes people who:
 Have HIV or another illness that weakens their immune system.
 Have close contact with someone who has active TB, such as living in the same house as someone who is infected with TB.
 Care for a patient who has active TB, such as doctors or nurses.
 Live or work in crowded places such as prisons, nursing homes, or homeless shelters, where other people may have active TB.
 Have poor access to health care, such as homeless people and migrant farm workers.
 Abuse drugs or alcohol.
 Travel to or were born in places where untreated TB is common, such as Latin America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Russia.
It is important for people who are at a high risk for getting TB to get tested once or twice every year.
What are the symptoms?
Most of the time when people are first infected with TB, the disease is so mild that they don’t even know they have it. People with latent TB don’t have symptoms unless the disease becomes active.
Symptoms of active TB may include:
 A cough that brings up thick, cloudy, and sometimes bloody mucus from the lungs (called sputum) for more than 2 weeks.
 Tiredness and weight loss.
 Night sweats and a fever.
 A rapid heartbeat.
 Swelling in the neck (when lymph nodes in the neck are infected).
 Shortness of breath and chest pain (in rare cases).
How is TB diagnosed?
Doctors usually find latent TB by doing a tuberculin skin test. During the skin test, a doctor or nurse will inject TB antigens under your skin. If you have TB bacteria in your body, within 2 days you will get a red bump where the needle went into your skin. The test can’t tell when you became infected with TB or if it can be spread to others.
To find pulmonary TB, doctors test a sample of mucus from the lungs (sputum) to see if there are TB bacteria in it. Doctors sometimes take a chest X-ray to help find pulmonary TB.
To find extrapulmonary TB, doctors can take a sample of tissue (biopsy) to test. Or you might get a CT scan or an MRI so the doctor can see pictures of the inside of your body.
How is it treated?
Most of the time, doctors combine four antibiotics to treat active TB. It’s important to take the medicine for active TB for at least 6 months. Almost all people are cured if they take their medicine just like their doctor says to. If tests still show an active TB infection after 6 months, then treatment continues for another 2 or 3 months.
Most people with latent TB are treated with only one antibiotic that they take for 9 months. This reduces their risk for getting active TB.
If you miss doses of your medicine, or if you stop taking your medicine too soon, your treatment may fail or have to go on longer. You may have to start your treatment over again. This can also cause the infection to get worse or lead to an infection that is resistant to antibiotics. This is much harder to treat.
TB can only be cured if you take all the doses of your medicine. A doctor or nurse may have to watch you take it to make sure that you never miss a dose and that you take it the proper way. You may have to go to the doctor’s office every day, or a nurse may come to your home or work. This is called direct observational treatment. It helps people follow all of the instructions and keep up with their treatment, which can be complex and take a long time. Cure rates for TB have greatly improved because of this type of treatment.
If active TB is not treated, it can damage your lungs or other organs and can be deadly.

I am currently at home, lazing around, doing nothing useful but has been hogging at my hubby’s laptop (sad to say that till now, i am not able to have my own personal laptop) browsing through my multiply’s contact and read through some nice entry of the day and looking at some gorgeous photos.

I am still contemplating to close my Multiply but I couldn’t bear to part with all my photos and contacts. When i first got married and then got pregnant with Shibly, Multiply was my first source of breaking the wonderful news to my dear close friends. I shared my inner thoughts to strangers at Multiply and they seems to be enjoying my funny antics and adoring my not-so-ugly photos too. LOL!

Well, it seems not a good idea for me to close down my Multiply. I’ll just let it rot there, and who knows that i might come back there again?

Lately, i’ve been dying to get a new handphone because someone has just bought a new phone and i was like all excited to grab ShitBlackberry for myself too! A couple had been approaching us for some opinions on what phone to get and of course, being the nonsense and menggelapu me yang nak beli Blackberry, i told them to get it while its hot. But end up, each took a different model of the phone and Blackberry was not their final choice although that was their initial plan. Apu neneh!

My husband, knowing how badly i want the Blackberry phone, then told me that it reminds him of an incident where he was caught in the conversation between Boss A and Boss B, talking about the latest phones. This Boss A offered his blackberry phone to Boss B, stating the fact that he doesn’t know how to use Blackberry phone and that he just bought it for fun since this was the ‘in thing’. Boss B declined his offer as he claimed that he is not used having such phone and preferred the old Nokia model and has been using it comfortably. My husband then was smiling, wondering what could happen if i were there, listening to their conversation. Hurhurhur. Of course, i jumped with excitement and asked my husband, why didn’t he voice out something?

My husband then told me, of course paiseh lah. Boss A never offered him so how to talk? LOL! He told me that even if the boss offered, he wouldn’t take his offer because he got no money to buy the phone for me also. Lol! Haiyah.. wasted right? :p

Ha ha ha ha ha…not funny and… i still want new phone!!!!!! Perhaps i may not want to buy blackberry lor. Not sure what phone i want but all i know is that i need a new phone. It doesn’t matter whether i got bonus or not, it is not important at all!!!!!!! I don’t care and im going to buy new phone too ok? But to think of being saddled with another contract and further debts, i may think twice. Yes, TWICE. See? Nak step sensible pulak eh?

Ok, put aside of getting new phones, my SIL’s wedding is coming soon and i’ve yet to invite some friends for her wedding! I have yet to see my tailored outfit and has yet to put aside the payment for the bajus, exclude the accessories, shoes, make up and etc. LOL! Over kan?? Oh not only that, after my SIL’s wedding, i have to attend for my company’s D&D and the theme is Masquerade . WOW!!! WOO!! What am i supposed to dress? *scratch head*

But anyway, after having a discussion with a colleague of mine on what we should wear for the D&D, we came to a conclusion that we may have to ‘BUIH’ again at the very last minute for the event. That was what happened last year. LOL! We both were so confident to attend the D&D but end up, we both cabut and buat bodoh sudah! LOL!

You know it totally sucks when someone who doesn’t dressed up for the event could win as the Best Dressed or Ms ****. Really bodoh! It happened every year, they always end up choosing someone who dressed up with very simple outfit. Some dressed up without following the theme at all also can win lei? *shake butt* But of course lah, some deserved to win, but that rarely happened. :p

I am missing my Shibly now! Its time to fetch him from my MIL’s place. Yea, finally i got to sleep and rest well at home without him today. Its not that i am enjoying what i did today but because i have no maid to help me clean the house and to look after him, and my husband is very busy with his projects, the sickly me, had to put him away for awhile and is going to fetch him back soon.

I mean, right now. Yes, right now i am going to hogah my husband to fetch Shibly right away!
