Merdeka well-spent...

As the clock strikes 12 midnight last night, we were already all gathered at my balcony waiting for the fireworks.

It was not disappointing as the fireworks went well for a good 10 minutes or more. The best-looking so far were like red and green falling stars, gently falling down from the sky...

Everyone of us had a good meal, simple yet full. Sat around the TV watching Kung Fu Hustle while waiting for the countdown, and then switching to TV2 for the Live Telecast from Dataran Merdeka. It was madness out there last night. From my balcony, the traffic jam could be seen at a stall from all directions. Thankfully all of them arrived early at my place except for the usual Tommy, who keeps getting lost coming over. He came after the fireworks... which was a replay from last year too. He woke up last year after the fireworks... *sigh* Some things will never change would they?

Hubby is still sleeping, while I had already did some of Baby's laundry, ate my brunch, bathed and all, watched a DVD... sent a Birthday greeting to Dennis.. hmm... should I just wake Hubby up now? Nah.. probably let him sleep a little bit more as it is a public holiday...Days like these are hard to come by except for the upcoming Raya holidays and Christmas! Speaking of Christmas, would I be able to lose weight by then?

I feel so bored going out all the time. There is practically no place to go... unless its out with friends, but if its just Hubby and I, we have been out so often that home seemed the best place to hang out... maybe we should visit grandpa. Maybe we should just do that.. maybe not.. Hubby might be just too lazy to do that or I might just suddenly feel tired.. You never know what pregnancy can do to one person. Makes you tired all the time.

Went for the ante-natal class the other day. Lots of first-time expecting mothers, and BOY, were we all shocked to watched the videos of breastfeeding. It was not the breast that scared us all, it was the way to make the baby latch on.. on the other hand, it was rather funny. Well, in my case mostly because Hubby was joking beside me all the way. He was giving me positive thoughts like "I M A MILK MACHINE!"... I bet he is now blacklisted by Sis. Choong for being the class joker.. other parents were rather uptight.. so serious.. well, all could use a little fun can they? =)

Guess I shall just go wake Hubby now. Need some 'personal time' now with Hubby while I still can... till then...

Merdeka Eve with friends...

Tomorrow is Malaysia's 50th Independence Day... I could still remember when the headmaster asked us if we knew how many years Malaysia had been independent and the answer then was 36... that was how long ago I remembered my Merdeka celebrations... and not to mention 2 years ago... where celebrating it at clubs seemed much more happening.. but as time flies, being at home or watching fireworks with loved ones seems much a better choice anytime.

Last year was spent with Iz & Gynette watching movies.. Ant Bully... this year is spent with them again.. this time round having steamboat at my house. The boys and Hubby are out buying stuff to cook tonight while I am left at home. Cheekie is exploring the table that Gynette brought over.. my rabbits I tell you, they know what is new and what not when it comes to all the things laid out in the house... Ikano is having their annual street carnival and later at midnight, there will be fireworks.. and we can all watch it from my balcony.. kan lovely like that, no need to jam pack with others out there, feeling sticky and sweaty, stressed out over parking and all.. =)

Did I mention that Hubby bought me 2 half Gallons of Baskin Robbins? I feel so bahagia!!!! Thankfully we got our ice-creams last night as Baskin Robbins were having their 31% for at least 3 days this time round.. I have to admit, I am just into ice-creams... the pregnancy craving.. Sister Choong says its what the baby likes too..

Just content being at home now... I bet everywhere is having massive traffic jam by now... going to sit back and relax while I let the boys cook / clean up... and I shall just chill and eat... *gRin*

Don't you just love my life?

One month to go...

Now that the legal status of our marriage is done and over with, its time to fully focus and concentrate on baby growing inside me... until he decides it is time for him to come out and face the world.

On the other hand, till he comes out, Hubby and I will be busy running around doing work and more work. Its a wonder right, how pregnant one can be and still be running around PJ - KL -PJ - some forsaken place which I have never been before and miraculously find my way back home...

Till now, till today since last year April, I have yet to set foot up Genting despite Iz is home in M'sia. I guess its not anytime soon for me too now since my belly is growing bigger and bigger by the day and it could be anytime now, so might as well be safe than sorry... I only want to feel the breeze up in Genting. No casinos, no theme parks.. just the cool air and good company of Hubby and my friends...

Its only a matter of few days now before Gynette takes off to Leeds and Iz & Grace back to London... =(

Baby... o.Oh Baby won't you want to meet them before they leave? *sigh* not rush no rush... If doc is right, Baby would probably come out by 29th Sept latest, one month from now... should he not want to be a little early...

Legally Married!

She, my Joy, has always been there for me; my 1st girlfriend in KL; basically my Joy who lives up to her name...

Iz & Grace ; Hubby's Bestfriend & his GF who never missed the most special day in our life afterall...

Count the flowers -it signifies Hubby's and my memorable date

Kami sumpah ... Our oath to each other

We did it! We graduated... see the 'Convo' pic? Our witnesses to this wonderful day of our lives.. the beginning..

Not forgetting my Joy too, who never fails to share my happiness...(my witness too...)

Don't we both look so happy? Look at my hubby glow.. look at his head glow!!

"You are mine! No running away! I am your bride, your wife Mr Simon Yap!! Me Me Me Mrs Simon Yap!"

The newlyweds.. finally Hubby, we are LEGALLY married to each other...

Our journey has just begun, as we end our morning here @ JPN...

So peeps, this is what that got me crossing my fingers so hard for the past few days, this is what got me so excited the whole of yesterday... this is what Hubby and I have been waiting for... a new beginning, a new journey, a life together built with lots of love...

Earliest Morning Call

... that I am most grateful for.

Thankfully I remembered the number and not thought it was Gwen who decided early morning calls are fun! Sorry Gwen, but you know I love you all the same.. *wink*

Got me out of bed in no time.

Left me with grins and smiles and so excited that I cannot sleep back.

I am so excited! So very excited! You have no idea how overwhelmed I got when I heard the news!

Now now.. to make arrangements and all that...

At last!!!! *looking ever so relieved**


**okay I might be getting a little too cheesy here and I am going to admit I stole this prayer off the Net but it is what I need to say out loud now...

Thank you Father for hearing my prayer
Amen

anyway on another note, not much relevant but might be... this was taken in May 2006... a year ago and we both are still going strong! =) I love ma' hubba hubba!

Relaxed

It was rather a beautiful hot day to do laundry today. Should I have done it, would have finished with this week's laundry and i would be in the room ironing Hubby's work clothes by now. BUT as usual, the cold room and the thought of being wrapped in my comforter, sleeping was a better idea. Afterall, Hubby and Iz is still asleep and I can't do much outside in the living room. I might wake Iz up... both of them slept at about 7am, watching DVDs and laughing. A miracle I could fall asleep despite their laughs... although I did get up at about 630am when Hubby came into the room. I asked if I could have dimsum for breakfast but he snored in return to reply me.

Three of us went to have the steamboat buffet @ Sunway. Yuen's steamboat buffet is always worth the money.. I always love the dessert part best.. ICE-CREAMS and today, just as we arrived at the shop, the chicken wings were just served and since there was not much customers yet, we had a very big helping to the scrumptious chicken wings. YUM YUM! I ate till my shirt was splattered with tomyam soup. Dirty girl! But it was all worth it! I am still digesting now from all the food... *satisfied grin on the face*

Went grocery shopping with Hubby and Iz to walk off the food. Nothing much really to buy this time round. o.OOH and I got myself 2 DVDs too.. yay yay! Now I am just waiting for good news from Pn. Ung tomorrow. *CROSSING FINGERS ** If it does happen, which I really hope it does, then Iz and Grace won't be missing anything... *gRiN*

Today is rather a fine Sunday.. I like today.. its relaxing compared to previous weeks... =)

So not a NERD!

OMG!! You look like ...

"...YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!!!!" says my hubby when I was trying on a white dress at Forever 21. Sad but its true. I felt as if I ws going to explode out from every corner I could. The top and the middle was the worst looking parts of my body... Touch the button and there I go... **BOOM!** Nope! That means I am not going to get any new dresses till I give birth. Rather a sad case but if I were to look at the brighter note, I would probably be proud of my size S again once the tummy kempis down. I would very much like to think that I am still a size S when it comes to dresses! *crossing my fingers so hard**

Hubby and I finally bought baby cloth diapers, nappy pins and baby detergent so I can now wash Baby's stuff and store it in his little wardrobe and just sit back and relax and wait for his arrival!

Waiting for my laundry to be done, so I can go hang them up and then go wash my hair... Wonder if Hubby will realize for a while if I were to turn off the air-con. Don't want myself to catch a cold now do I? *sigh* Guess its housework day for me today because Hubby decide to party by himself last night, watching DVDs and cooking up a storm of pizzas and fried chicken and now, the plates are left in the sink, tit-bits on the table and opened boxes by the door. AARRRGGHH!! Men I tell you!

Am suppose to take Cheekie and Cheeko for a manicure and pedicure today but I doubt it will happen because my botak is still fast asleep snoring himself away in lala land...

Great! Laundry's done.. till then...

--------------------------------------------------------->

Back from lunch, waiting for dinner now while Hubby sitting in front of the TV watching his LOTR and waiting for Liverpool's game to come on, here I am sitting in front of the comp blogging away.

I still have got dishes to do yet I feel so tired. Think I should nap while the Liverpool game is on? Yea..think I will do just that so I can have enough energy to keep up with Hubby and Iz if he'd ever show up later about 8pm.

Going to let Cheeko the lucky football rabbit out later to hop around the house when the game is on. Its always Cheeko when it comes to football. Hubby can be rather superstitious if he wants to be.

I have sudden cravings for ice-creams.. ice-creams... but Aunt Lin and Ma-in-Law says no to it.. how? Maybe just one tiny serving? I need ice-creeeeeeamsss!!!!! I guess now I can really say the only cravings that I have during my pregnancy is the cravings for ice-creams and everything that is cold.

o.Oh Baby oH.o Baby, when are you coming out to meet Mommy and Daddy? Can't wait to lay our eyes on you.. Can't wait to shower you with all the love and cuddles and love and kisses and love... *sigh* Be patient ! Be patient! Its only a matter of time now... Baby be good and pile on fats k... be healthy.. Mommy protect you now you're in the womb.. Daddy protect when you're out later... So much love to give baby!!!!

100th Post

Is it supposed to be about something meaningful?

Is it supposed to be something to remember about?

Well, not much for me to be meaningful or remember about but all I know is that I am wide, freshly awake, bathed and all at 6.30am, ready to go out with Hubby for 'something special'. *sMiLe* Will reveal soon but today is just not the day to talk about it...

Tomorrow, Friday 24th will be Hubby's and my special 'monthliversary'. One of the many months that is special enough to be celebrated and all... *sigh* and how I wish I can go to see Engelbert Humperdinck sing but I doubt Hubby and Iz is free enough to bring me. One of the downsides of being pregnant is that you are not allowed to travel much just in case.. and anyway so near to delivery date, you just have to be more careful of the big bulge sticking out front kan?

Baby has got his second soft toy already now. Hubby has always wanted to get him a Cookie Monster or Count Dracula as his first pal compared to Elmo or Big Bird. He says Elmo's laugh is irritating and Big Bird is just plain bird brain... he likes cookies.. he likes to count... See how Hubby likes the word C in all those things that his favourite characters do? No wonder he wants to name his children starting with C but as a mother to my child, I get to name the first child of mine.. *gRin* but then again, the second one onwards will be his call...

Oriteys got to go out now.. till then from the 100th post of mine..

***********************************

@ 1130am Hubby and I were done with everything. Discovered that pregnancy can really get you to far places, lucky times but it is too soon to tell at the moment. We are just waiting for the good news tomorrow so we can tell our friends. *keeping my fingers crossed now**

Of course, before all that, we went through quite a number of unpredictables like Hubby is not 'listed' in some way or another.. (ask him about him being in the Government's namelist), the express lanes and all.. *sigh* Rubbing my tummy now like a hopeful individual rubbing a lamp for a genie.. Baby Jaden, lets hope mummy, daddy and you do receive the good news yah?

o.Oh and so that reminds me to ask for a cake to eat this evening too to celebrate today for all sorts... I like today!

Doc says...

Baby should not be kicking to come out now. Still in a pre-mature status...

Hubby and I to get ready anytime after the 37th week...

That my puking and tummy-pain feel might be due to food poisoning. Wrong choice of food last night I guess... tho doc decide to be on the safe side and gave me charcoal pills...

That the morse code sound-a-like is actually my uterus pulse...

Baby's heartbeat should be 140 p/minute at the moment...

I am only up by 200 grams tho how much of food I ate over the past two weeks...

To go back and see him when I am 36 weeks pregnant again...

Doc now predicts normal weight for baby to pop will be 2.7 - 2.8kg

Waterworks

Not from the eyes...

Have you seen waterworks? from the tummy gurgling and then up your throat and *sPLAtttt** right out from your mouth? It doesn't turn off like after 2 seconds... it goes on with great water pressure.. Nice nice right? Did I just spoil lunch?

Puked myself silly early this morning. Uurrgghh... chocolatey watery summore... Think I spoil my own lunch too already.. =)

Disappointing Sunday

The Curve / Ikano / Ikea was crazily packed with thousands of people of all ages. If you think the kids' area @ Ikea is filled with them, there are lots more up there walking around with parents. Iz, Hubby and I went to get Baby his little wardrobe and a clothes hanger for me. Today is Ikea's last day of sale by the way. Got the clothes hanger at a very much discounted price -found it at AS IS..

We then went to Mardigras hoping we could get Barnes to autograph on Baby's bib. Alas, it was sucha disappointment when we got there. U got to pay not only for entrance (cover charge) to watch football and the best part is, for the love of football -you got to buy a jug of beer and that might not even promise you Barne's autograph. I mean.. wtf? So with a heavy heart that I am unable to get Barne's autograph for Baby, we all left. Theres always TV at home to watch in the good company of good friends...

Got my first taste of Carl's Jr's burger. The patties and all, overall, tasted kind of dry. Another disappointment. *sigh* Even my BK Burger tasted sooooo much better!

Cleaned up the room a little bit now. Clearing way to put in baby's stuff. Hubby and I have already thrown away / gave away so many stuff yet the house still seemed so full. The spring cleanings are going to be neverending I forsee..

As I am typing, Iz and Hubby is putting together Baby's wardrobe.. *sigh* seriously what would become of Hubby and I without Iz / Grace / Gyn / SK's (from time to time) help. Such angels!!

Liverpool vs. Chealsea was such a great game to watch right after Torres scored but damn the referee, whose eyes are so cocked that he could not possibly differentiate when to or not to give a penalty. Chealsea definitely did not deseved the penalty, which I think most people would agree with me. SUCH AN ARSEEE!!!! Should there be no penalty, Liverpool would have won today and everybody would be happy! I know Hubby would be!

oh, I finally changed my fish water too. So happy with my achievements. Hee hee hee.. My four precious ones now have clean, clear water to swim in...

Somehow, although events for clients are over for a while now, its news clippings and news report chasing time. Busy Busy Busy no matter what. Weekdays are for working our arssess off. Weekends pulak, for family stuff and work. Finding time to do my housewifey duties sometimes can be a chore.. Cause whenever Hubby wakes up, its time to go and eat. By the time we come back home, its already evening and I tire out very easily these months.. My legs are already starting to swell with water.. *sigh* The last stages of pregnancy is kicking in I supposed. Even Ma-in-Law commented that I did put on weight (can see la through the round round face and double chin) and Aunt Lin says the tummy is now visibly very round.. I AM OFFICIALLY FAT!

Liverpool on a Sunday

Its gonna be exactly 4 months countdown to my birthday. I am only 2 cycles-old of the piGGie year! I wonder how this time round, my birthday celebration is going to be that I will be having the tiny additional family member...

Will be going out with Iz in a while now. Just waiting for laundry to get done and all... then off we go to watch Liverpool vs. Chealsea. I want to get Barnes' autograph on Baby's Liverpool bib that Iz & Grace bought. Its gonna be a present for him and a starting 'thing' to recruit him into his father's favourite team...

Baby has been kicking and moving more than usual now, responding more to his father's voice most of the time. Mine, I guess he hears it too often hes bored with it.. A month to go now for Baby... One more month...

Another weekend gone by just like that. With procrastination from me of course. Sucha failure when it comes to executing. Planning semua bagus! Execution pulak fail.. I need to clean up my room!

Better go get myself ready before the washing machine beeps ready. If not, Hubby.fm will start on its own... *gRin* sssh.. he does not have to know I call him that.. =)

Tired out...

First :Midvalley's parking is a bitch.
Second : Finding lunch on a weekend is also a bitch
Third : Nothing much really to see for the baby fair except for the baby crawling competition and some nappy discounts.

o.Oh.. and I just could not resist walking into Baby Gap and grabbing one of the newborn clothes which was going at 40% off. Baby Jaden now has so many Baby Gap clothes.. Shit.. Can't start pampering him this way can I?

Had dinner with Ma-in-Law, Aunt Lin and family... and off I go for the first time to Happy Garden's pasar malam. Nothing much to see compared to SS2's but they have the Jagung Kuih that I like... I like it so much that I nearly finished the kuih that Hubby bought for me to try as soon as I reached back Aunt Lin's house. Mind you, we just had quite a heavy dinner... *gRin*

Stopped over at Burger King to buy some burgers before heading home. They no longer have the Tri-Licious anymore. =(
Got a Whopper Jr Cheese... yummy... can't wait to sink my teeth into them after I pop in a good DVD to watch with Hubby in a little while...

and so I thought Hubby and I were done with baby shopping, NOOO... I still have lots more to go as in storing food for my confinement... aarrrgghhh.. and the best news of all.. which means bad news to me ----> I have to mind what I eat at least for 3 months more after the birth. *PULLS HAIR OUT!!!!**

Who says having a baby is cheap or easy? HHrruummPPhhh!!!!

Another weekend

I have so many choices of bikinis to choose from. All laid out in the nice lightish-brown basket, waiting for me to make my choice which I want to wear for the day out at the beach. SO I rubbed my eyes and *POOF* they are gone. SHITE! It was only a dream...

Mother-in-law is down in KL again. Hubby and I will be meeting up with Aunt Lin and her for dinner later. Confirm I sure kena advised repeatedly not to have cold stuff and ice-creams and durians and all sorts of 'forbidden' food during pregnancy. I know they are advising me for the good of baby's health and mine and all.. thankfully its going to be one more month only .. and then a month later after baby shower, can makan balik all my favourite things...

1) Asam Laksa
2) Coffee
3) Shellfishes...

Just remembered that Midvalley today got Baby fair up at the exhibition halls.. wanna go and see see kaypoh kaypoh.. Better go bathe now before Hubby starts his daily nags.. Hes already awake..

Speechlessly ANGRY

I heard your answers.

I saw that coming.

*sigh* unexpected. (not really) unbelievable. (expected of you)

I CURSED. you and you and you and you ...

I felt better.

still.. i pray that you will get what you deserve!

** you : referred to as the lowest of the lowest mankind can get to be **

Wife Duties

Just dropped Hubby off to work. Today is my day off so to speak as the PR exec but not as a housewife. DAMNIT!

Will be finding Simon and Hubby for lunch later and off to run errands before picking him up again after work... a wife got to do what shes got to do.. ehhehe

Yay! The weekend is here! but somehow I don't think I will have much weekend rest either.. sigh..**

p for pain?

so tired. backaches. water-retention legs. an active baby who moves non stop inside. pain pain.

N u T z

Its been really crazy these two weeks and we have two more days to go before the weekend...

Hopefully everything goes well so that Hubby and I can have a peaceful weekend, just resting at home before another work week begins..

Packed most of my stuff, ready for the hosp.. just that I need to wash and soften up baby's new clothes.. As the weeks are drawing closer and closer to delivery date, its getting harder to get up after you sit or lie down. The weight pulls you down and that to turn from right to left is like asking an elephant to turn around for you... I wonder how much would i weigh by next week when I visit the doc? hmm.. its true you know, when they say you will pile on 15-20kg when you are pregnant..

So who thinks blissfully married is a crime? Who wants to marry my hubby? They can try you know.. its not always sugar and spice but well, you got to make do with compromising...

So much to do, so little time. I bet everyone says that... I have to admit I have bad in managing my time. Given, I would have slept through it and then worry later.. but *sigh* can't do that any longer. Going to be a mother does not allow all that.. its all about 'prihatins' and dedications, concentration... its going to give me wrinkles! AARRGGHH!!

Got to go get my babies new cages now. Think that they are growing too big for their current one right now. These babies... they rule Hubby's and my life... so cute and adorable and they each have attitude. Marking their territories over our stuff, our legs and pushing you out of their way. Can you imagine such tiny creatures that dares bully you? Whose pet does that to their owners anyway? Pampered sial those two babies of mine...

Guess I better go sleep now since I have to be up early tomorrow..

Sleepless nights

Can't sleep last night. Tho went to bed early but still can't fall asleep.

Ma' right elbow was hurting alright and how I wished badly that I get massaged at the arms.. but hubby is down with flu and all.. and its best to leave him to sleep. He has not have much sleep since last week...

Tossing and turning and *sigh* guess I finally fell dead to the world at about 4am then...

So in a blurry state right now...

Just-a-diaL-away

Pizzaaaas anyone?

Large ones?

YUM YUM!!!!

We are having pizzaaaaaas for dinner! Yay yay! Been quite a while now... *licking ma' fingers dey**

One more to go...

Thank God Hubby and I went shopping @ 1 Utama for some baby stuff today.

Today is the last day for great discounts at Mothercare till God knows when.. and we got ourselves some very good deal.

Luckily we did not buy the sterilizer yesterday @ The Curve. No discounts offered and also if there were any, it was only RM10 off.. not like @ 1 Utama...

Hubby and I are now near complete.. just a packet or two cloth nappies and nappy pins to buy and we are done! Yay! Time to prepare the bag for delivery!



p/s: I like the stroller. A very good deal that comes with car seat and base and lots of other goodies thrown in.. You get what you see in the picture above. We bought this cool pop art-ish patterned stroller.... Satisfied with our baby buys...

Only nappies now.. and oh, should you want to buy me disposable newborn baby diapers also can.. You are very welcome! *gRin* Mamy Poko or Huggies preferably.. eehheheheh

S u n d a y a m b l i n g S

Slept at about 530am in the morning and woke up feeling damn energetic at about 9am. Was contemplating of going downstairs to buy breakfast and paper for hubby but the laziness of having to washup, bathe and change got the better of me. So I walked the whole house and aired my little babies' room (in case if you are wondering who I am referring to as my babies, they are my cute, adorable, naughty rabbits). Went back to sleep beside hubby who looks so like an innocent, serene, fast-asleep baby.

Woke up 4 hours later and off I go do my housewifey duties again. This time, since the weather is rather good, I decide to laundry again. Love playing with water! Just wondering if I should wash my aquarium today.. I think I should since there is nothing much to do. Can't clean up room when hubby is asleep. CONFIRM sure kena marah again if I wake him up from his beauty sleep during the weekends. Going to fix myself cereals & milk before I begin my Sunday housework.

Gawd! Can't believe its already the end of the weekend.. which means OH NO!!! Back to work and early wake-ups again.. There is so much to do this week. LOTS and LOTS of work to be done and perfected. Pray that the week will turn out better than the week before.

o.Oh.. Suddenly remembered that Hubby did buy me doughnuts just in case I get hungry at night. Yum! Can heat them up and pop them into my mouth too.. maybe I will skip cereals and just do doughnuts instead. BIG APPLE DOUGHNUTS RAWKS BIG TIME!

*sigh* Tummy is getting rounder and rounder. Don't know when Baby Jaden is ready to come out. Hopefully before Iz & Grace leave for UK. Would want them to see their god-son too.. and then can arrange with Gwen to make her trip back here for Baby's Full Moon and also PC & Dennis's wedding. Can't wait to attend the wedding. All the way down in Penang, faraway from hubby who will be attending another wedding here in KL... that leaves Baby with grandparents. oOPSss!! Nah.. I am just going for a 2 days 1 Night trip back Penang thats all... Hubby is still going to be around but I doubt he will be up to feeding, bathing and taking care of baby in a 'beery & wine' state! Trust the grandparents better!

Hubby and I are going to be parents soon. Can't be all that sakai anymore. Have to be responsible and show good-parents model to our son. *bOOOriiNNNggg!!** but we will do whatever we have to do to make sure he grows up safe and healthy and grow up to the man we will be proud of in 20 years to come... I have got plans all lined up for my boy!

Just bought baby bath-tub yesterday. Damn cool wey! Can indicate water temperature and baby have a back-supporter that is hooked to the tub so he won't submerge in... Looking at sterilizers now and the milk bottles.. stroller & baby car seat... and o.Oh the important one! How can I forget? The nappies!! heheheh and we are done with baby shopping! YIPPEE!!! Then its getting ready the bag to bring whenever now.... *Breathe in Breathe out!* A little panicky now me...

Okai.. laundry's done.. housewifey roleplay kicks in now...

24

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS YEOH LI YEN a.k.a ma' Baby Jaden's GODMOTHER!

Wishing you many happy returns of the day and lots of presents so you can share them with me.. muahahhaha

So how many times now have I woke you up in the middle of the night with the Malaysian midnight-strike call just to wish you on your BIG BIG DAY?

Love ya!

Happy People

Happy Faces! Happy Feast!

German Beer and Pork Knucklesssss!!!

Nigel, Mun Wai, David&Grace, Hubby & I went to this recently opened German restaurant at The Curve to have dinner... Not just any dinner but a dinner that promises you full to the neck!

Three big different servings of pork knuckles, beef whateva and mix sausages.. and the beer for the guys... yum yum!

Look at the size of the pork knuckles... we had three!

Happily fully-fed pregnant woman & her hubby

Another fully-fed happy couple : David & Grace

Look at them both, Mun Wai & Nigel... finishing off the remainings.. they don't call the guy in the picture below "The Destroyer of the World" for nothing...

EPL Season is Back!

which means hubby takes over the TV now for the weekend.. damnit! Means more time on the comp for me too.. a good thing afterall.. hahahha

Last week had been rather crazy. Early morning wake-ups since last weekend. Thankfully I could sleep in till about 12 in the afternoon today.

Event went by good. Had it at The Apartment. A new place beside Italiannies @ The Curve and it seemed that we were the first ones to hold an event there. *Whoppie!* The Choco Mousse was fantastic.. Think I gulped down quite a lot till Simon Tan asked me to stop eating all the sugar. =) sugar higgghhh**

Did my laundry. Tested the washing machine for the very first time since it arrived last week. My very own washing machine! Which means more houseworkload! Still think the house is lacking something.. oh ya, a 2HP aircon for the living room.. who wants to sponsor me? The weather these days can kill. If I could dip myself in some cool ice bath, I would. Melting away like some poor ice-cream left out from the freezer...

Will be meeting up with David & Grace / Nigel and Kel & Mel for dinner later.. hopefully at the recently opened German restaurant for some pork knuckles and good food.. got to get prepared to go out and some baby shopping now.. still a little more to go now.. nearly done!

I h<3art teenagers

They’re gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They’re gonna give you a smirk
‘Cause they got methods of keepin' you clean
They’re gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said all teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
And strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in a clique
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you’re troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed


So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Ohhh yeah!

They said all teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

All together now!

Teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me


Oh, Teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

** my chemical romance**

SO STUPEEEED!

Almost a week went by with having constant maki-hamuns every single day.

Even today on a Sat... just because I was at the back of the house trying to figure out how to operate the washing machine and the phone rang in the room. IF it rings, let it ring lah if you don't feel like picking up. I will prolly come in and check once I am done figuring out how not to damage your clothes in the washing machine.

Lets just say, my days never really started off happy... just because you are stressed / feeling hot just because of the weather / or you are just simply being YOU!

He is 33-weeks-oLd

It would be 'anytime now' after three weeks. Anytime now.. somehow those words ringing in my head is making me feel dizzy yet very excited... My tummy is so round and I am feeling heavier and heavier each second. Doc says I am going to start walking leaning more to the back now the weight is in front.. posture posture!

My life, hubby's life, our family and friends' lives are going to change...

Baby is now weighing at 2.1kg already. *sigh* Such a good baby, putting on weight like what he should be doing.. so is mommy! 1.6kg up from the previous weight.

Maybe Iz and Grace would be able to see baby before they fly off again.. hmm...

p/s: My doc was trying to be funny. He gave hubby and I an ultrasound pic of little Baby Jaden's 'gun' for memories keepsake.

Unlucky

Cleverly locked hubby and myself in the house, with housekeys left in the bedroom and there is no way out of the house.

Late for doc's appointment.
Got to cancel with Joy.
Postponed late meeting with client.

SO SCREWED!

Such a bad bad bad bad bad timing. *sigh* Trust me to make these all happen on days when I am supposed to be busy... =(

Successful Attempt!

Yay!! I did it! I managed to get up at 10am and meet Linaree as promised. It was rather hard at first to get myself off the bed but the horror thought of my phone alarm waking up hubby was even worse got me scooting off the bed immediately.

Pancakes for breakie+lunch. So much to catch up, so little time.
With Linaree, its always girlie stuff that you can do with her. Things that seemed 'taboo' to some is alrights with her.. I missed her company so much.

Saw so many pairs of beautiful heels. So tempted to get them.. and the evil Linaree and Angel was tempting me with words like "Its just two months away. Buy and keep first..." but guess hubby's face overshadowed their words of temptation. He would have prolly killed me for buying heels right now.. Guess I can wait two months down the road before I hit the shoe shops again... =)

Linaree should be on her way back Singapore as I type this... *sigh* Gonna be a few more months before I meet her again..

* a year ago / one of those nights out *

Wide Awake...

Its about 4 in the morning and I am still wide awake. Just finished clearing up the house walkway, of course with Iz and Grace's help. *sigh* The lovely angels!

The shopping items we bought are in. Yay! Mostly hubby's choice... He makes most of the decisions anyway in our life. I trust his decisions more than mine actually.

Had a good laugh over both men that sent the items to our house. The Chinese was actually talking to his Bangladeshi colleague in mixtures of Cantonese and Malay. Hubby and I were laughing because we really doubt the Bangladeshi man understood Cantonese...

Am supposed to meet up with Linaree & Kelvin for drinks last night but plans are scrapped because we had late dinner with the in-laws and then, there is a lot to clean up in the house. So work comes first... Postponed it to lunch then later at 11am as she has to go back to Singapore at 4pm... Hopefully I can wake up in time.. or better still, I don't sleep and last through the lunch.. but baby needs rest.. *sigh* Guess I'd better sleep then...

Homework

Got tagged by JosieLoke...
Guess I'd better hand up my assignment then.. *gRin*

When I was a little girl:
I wanted to be a vet. I love animals. I thought by being a vet, I could save animal planet. *tsk tsk* Such a young naive thing then huh?

When I was in high school:
All I wanted was car license and the 'license' to freedom from parents. No curfews or whatsoever... but then again, knowing me.. I broke the law by starting to drive underage, midnight movies and clubbing sessions.. *sigh* its all the in past now...

Now:
I want to be a good wife to my hubby, good employee to my 'boss', a good mother to my son, a good daughter / in-law to my parents and the out-laws..I mean in-laws.. a good friend to all my friends.. and to have a good healthy peaceful life with my family. =)

Okay.. so there you are. Did my homework! What do I get?

Girls day out ...

Just came back from having lunch with my auntie Sharon... Its been really nice seeing her after like moOOOnths.
Ate 3/4 of her food. Now you know why I am putting on weight compared to her.. my tagline for the day -"EAT ONLY!!"

Also met up with Rina, Angel and Ening for a while... might be catching up with them again later tonight but till then, some pics for memories...

@ Marche 4 Lunch

Girlfriends : Sharon.eMs.LinaRee

Angel.Ening.Pregnant-eMs@8mths.LinaRee

*sigh* Its been quite some time since I last spent time with the girlfriends without hubby. Not to say my girlfriends are against him going wherever I go.. they love him alright. Hes the life of the party but you know, sometimes girls have their own private talks.. not about my life maybe but theirs.. sometimes mine.. hehehe.. some bitching and gossiping. We are girls after all... well, anyway this is one of those days where I got to talk with Sharon.. that girl.. going to Singapore soon. LInaree is already there.. all my friends are leaving me one by one!!! Seeing them makes me think of those days we took for granted. The days of fun and hanging out, no worries bout the future... and now, we are all busy with work, work and more work. Commitments and more commitments.. responsibilities.. *sigh* Don't you wish sometimes we could all turn back a little time for those good times?

Interpretations?

I have been having weird dreams lately.

Three nights ago, I dreamt someone was in the midst of planning an assassination against this guy. That I can understand as maybe I had just watched too many CSI shows in a row.

Two nights ago, I dreamt that my water broke and well, it took a good whole 8hours before baby decides to come out.. It felt so real.. that I felt a relieve to have baby in my arms and that it was not as pain as some claims it to be..

Last night, I dreamt that I bought this really nice-looking khaki coloured post-man sling bag. A very lovely looking bag.. hmm..

Anyways, all these dreams woke me up kind of early in the morning... *sigh* maybe its just because my bladder is so pressed and its an automation button for me to go to the toilet for my morning pee-wees sessions.

***************************

Sharon was supposed to be staying over last night. Had all these plans to go ber-karaoke-ing with her... and at 6-7pm only did she called to say plans cancelled coz her 'doc' has emergency plans to attend to. The girl now upgrading her tastes... *tsk tsk*

****************************

Today is going to be a crazy day for hubby and me. Coz later after our working hours, I can see both of us working late into the night, trying to clear our old furnitures. Anyone wants a fridge that has no freezer cover but its still working damn fine? Anyone wants a dining table with chairs? Anyone wants a coffee table?

Hubby bought some house electrical stuff in order to get ready for baby's arrival. Well, kan water heater is an essential now baby needs warm water bath and not cold ones? I too, will be needing it for my first month.. so might as well invest in a good one and forever lets shower in a hot water bath... such luxury, which hubby and I had given up for quite some time.

I can also forsee hubby there losing his temper here and there tonight.. cause because... got la reasons! *gRin*
I bet Iz would understand.. he is the one that always say if hubby never nags, then he is not himself but I have much experience in handling all these situations mostly.. not all the times tho. Sometimes the hormones do not let me handle it like an expert.. blame it on the hormones.. hehehe

Cheeko looks fine today. Last night, he got so horny, he tried to hump hubby' s hand which was wrapped in an old shirt. Nuff said, his little 'bro' went limp n swollen n I could see a lil blood trace here n there.. but when he was let out to play in the house later after his 'romps', he seemed fine. He was flicking and jumping in the air, only for the occasional times he decides that his 'bro' needs a lick or two. He'd better be fine, if not it is really a trip down to the vet for him to snip snip...

Next week is going to be a crazy week. Got to catch as much sleep over the weekend should that be possible. o.Oh.. that reminds me of lunch with my Linareeeeee.. Shes down in town for the weekend. Missed her so!

and.. HARLOW everybody... should you be wondering, I am into my 8th month of pregnancy now.. 2 more months.. 2 more months.. 2 more months.. =)

Its that time of the month...

Its here again at the end of the month.. For those that is feeling like a little lost right now, I am talking about end of July.

Mine was 2 Quartz full and was drained finished in half an hour... you? How long do you take?

Can't wait for that time of the month again this month! *~ wink ~*
