Like an elephant ..

While I was giving Jaden his routine night bath before bedtime, I suddenly felt as if someone has taken a bat and hit my left leg and it hurt to stand straight with the feet flat on the ground.

I then quickly gave Jaden his bath and wiped him dry, put the pyjamas on him and asked Hubs to help me massage my left leg, which he did.. and then...

"OMG! LOOK AT THOSE LEGS! THEY ARE ALMOST THE SAME SIZE AS MINE!"

I found it amusing because I could still clearly remember back to the days when I was trying on this beautiful white dress at Forever 21 for our ROM (also in our 35-36 weeks of pregnancy) and the very first thing he said to me when I walked out from the fitting room was... 

"OMG! YOU LOOKED AS IF YOU ARE GOING TO BURST OUT OF THAT DRESS!"

*sigh*

Yeap, water retention has got to me and boy, this time it sure did hit me quite bad. My bottom half looks doubled.. no, tripled my original size and both my calves look like tree trunks.. they are so thick looking.

Hopefully, I will be able to retain back my original leg shape after delivery, though it will take some time before I resume back to maybe 50kg.. though I really pray that I could achieve my pre-pregnancy weight at at least 47-48kg.. 

Age do really play a part when it comes to shedding off fat fast/slow... 

Somehow as I know how I look exactly right now, it doesnt hurt my feelings when others do comment about how large I have become because that is the truth. 

Anyway all those 'large' comments don't hurt my feelings right now.. maybe it might just will if I am still looking like that in 2 years time. That is when, I will really feel miserable and might just opt for something drastic to lose weight. *wink*

p/s: Just another typical day at home, where Hubs and I exchange jokes like these, knowing that its just a joke and nothing else.. :) 

Say what??

Today was baby's monthly checkup. 

We are now at 27weeks 6days. About 28 weeks coming. Doing the math, that would mean about 12 weeks left before I deliver, that is if I deliver on the expected due date itself. 

This time, I plan to let time take its course and not induce the baby. I never personally experience what it is like to have my water bag break by itself. Hopefully not when I am sleeping during the middle of the night. :)

Some of my friends think that I might be giving birth a little earlier than the expected due date. Given my size right now, I would think so but baby ain't that big as me. Baby is growing well in proportion like how he is supposed to be.

Abdomen, head circumference are all normal, the water and placenta looks good and well, seems baby is turning into the right position too.

Its only me, that has something to worry about and that is my weight.

Lets just say, today was the day I got laughed by the nurse, doctor and my husband. I don't find it offensive though because I find it funny myself.

I was 47kg when we first discovered I was pregnant early this year. Then with all the morning sickness, my weight was up and down, mostly down.. It seems that I was losing weight more than piling them on..

and then, by the time second trimester hit, morning sickness was gone and with the monstrous appetite that I have and no control over food desires, I only have myself to blame for my ballooned weight.

The nurse, when I took my weight today, and we both were staring at the weighing scale for quite some time before she turned to me and said, "Terkejut ker?" 

"MEMANG! *sob uwahhhh*"

She laughed and thought I was funny.

We proceeded on checking my blood pressure, normal. Then she asked if I peed yet, I said nope, saving it for the test as I was scared that I might just have a few drips. Turned out, I filled up that whole bottle. FULL! 

Usually the nurse ain't there when I put the bottle down at the counter but today, she was standing there, ready to check the pH level and when she saw the full bottle, she laughed again. *sigh* Embarassing things I do to myself.

Then it was time for me to go into my gynae's room. Hubby was there. Doctor took a look at my weight and then he went.. woah!

So I asked, its quite a lot right, my weight?

He had to put his words kindly and said, "well, its a bit a lot.. do cut down on your carbs and stick to vege and protein."

Guess that answered my question!

Even my closest friends did mentioned that when she saw me just three weeks ago, I was still growing well, but the recent photo showed a different me, a very ballooned up me!

We did not manage to have the 3D scan taken as baby was covering his face with one hand and doctor think it would be a waste of money if we were to take that scan today. We are going to try again in 3 weeks time to see if baby would show us his face.

So what is my weight right now? as of week 27 and 6 days?

*sigh* 

FINE, I will tell.. just because so I can look back next time and remember this very day that my eyes went terbeliak open at the weighing scale.

I knew I piled on weight but I didn't know it was going to be that consistent every month!

I am officially 58.1kg @ 17th Sept 2013.

Playtime with Daddy

at 3 1/2years old, this is the type of game I like to play with my daddy..

*i like to see the world from this perspective sometimes.. its more fun!*
Jaden Simon Yap

So not funny

My kitchen sink pipe burst out on me with water spewing out like volcano spewing out their ashes while I was singing and happily doing my dishes.

So not funny!

That really woke me up for good!

p/s: I can forsee myself getting an earful now for being the destroyer of stuff at home but but but really, I didn't even hit the pipe or touched it.. aaagghh FML!

Grandmothers made my day

(Last night in the lift with neighbor's parents holding on to their granddaughter)

N : (telling her granddaughter -younger than Jaden) See, jie jie so kuai. Stand still and not move around like a monkey like you.

N's Daughter : He is a boy, not a girl.

N : Really? (speaking in hokkien now) Got cha-boh bin lah, so beautiful. Look at the dimples. Always smiling. Boy ah?

At that time, I looked at her and smiled.

N : He is your ...?

eMs : My son. He is my son.

N : Really? but you are so young looking..

(at that time, the lift reached Ground Floor and conversation ended there)

Today in the morning, I bumped into the neighbor again.

N : Are you going to work? (since it was 9am in the morning)

eMs : Not really but I help my husband from time to time.

N : You take care of your son by yourself?

eMs : Yea, my husband and I take care of him by ourselves.

N : oh.. very good. The big size one, that one is your husband right?

eMs : Yea, that one is my husband.

N : I think I saw him a few times before.. how old are both of you?

eMs : My husband is 31, me? I am 27 this year.

N : Really? If you didn't tell me that boy was your son, I would have thought you were his sister. You look like you are only in your late teens.

eMs : No-lah.. 27 already (but at that time, I was just gloating away.. hehehehe)

(Today again, when I came back from running work errands, I bumped into 2 kindy children with their grandmother)

One of the children was playing and ramped into me.

Grandma scolded her and say, "See, I told you not to spin yourself dizzy and now, you have bumped into jie jie already!"

WAHHHHH... those two compliments I received made my day today! *tee hee*

Let me gloat about it for a while can? Its not like everyday I get rare compliments like that.. =)

Now you see him, Now you don't

one of the many things Jaden does in the house... *sigh*

Yo yo Bling Bling

** psst! You don't think the words make sense do you? Well, just posting up what my son was trying to blog thru my phone.. just that my phone is unable to post it up thru the WAP.. so here I am just copying and pasting what Jaden was trying to blog about.. =)

Guess?

17 Oysters + 2 Roast Beef + 1 Tempura prawn + 2 Grilled Prawns + 3 Coconuts + 7 Makis + 1 Fried Mussel + 1 Kebab + 1 Grilled Meatball + 1 plate of Mixed Mushrooms + 1 plate of Kimchi Baby Octupus + 1 Grilled Butterfish + 1 Honeydew drink + 6 Haagen Daz icecream + 1 Grilled Squid = ? ? ?

Can anyone guess the answer to this equation?

People watching on a Sunday

Have you ever wondered what people are thinking and doing the opposite subconsiously? Well, today I had quite some fun people watching and these little things keep me amused.

As I was walking past Warehouse, there was this girl who was dress in some super long tee and skinnies. At first glance, one would prolly thinks she is the salesgirl judging from the way she was looking at other customers, studying them from head to toe and then glancing several times at the mirror to check on her appearance. Little did I know, she was actually checking out another girl holding on to a dress she must have eyed on...

Then there is this woman who has her nose up quite high walking, clutching on to her LV Speedy like "WOO HOO..LOOK AT ME! PLEASE GIVE WAY TO MY SPEEDY! NOW GIVE WAY! YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BANG INTO MY SPEEDY OK? SO GET OUT OF MY WAY!" She was maneuvering her way through the crowd so nobody would walk into her bag and not her. That very sight amused me!

There was this young couple who was sitting beside my table and they were looking at Jaden. The girl was going all "AWWWWW..." over Jaden who was busy smiling and eating his biscuits when the guy whispered something to her. Both of them shared some giggles and looked hopeful into Jaden's direction, sort of giving away their thoughts of maybe it would be wonderful to be married to one another and have a kid like this lady here (me).. Little do they know the efforts and responsibilities in raising a child and a child that keeps wanting to climb out of his baby chair every three seconds. Mind you, they were prolly just in their late teens.

There was this woman who was sitting at the Lancome counter, letting the promoter girl apply some foundation on her and she actually came over to ask me which part of her face do I prefer. *sigh* Well, at least she was a nice lady, prolly in her late 40s or early 50s and wanting to buy the right liquid foundation / 2 way cake for her face.. and she actually wanted the foundation I took.. which the promoter girl told her that for a lady her age, she needs the more foundation for the matured ladies and not the oil-free one I took.. well, it was a nice chat up with her when we were talking if we should both buy the make up base as well.. but nah! the liquid foundation was enough..

It didn't take long before Jaden decides that it is his nap time, so we came home, leaving Hubby at his meeting.. bought a trumpet for the little boy to play with, now that he knows how to imitates the TV cartoon characters, I am sure he would love to play pretend with his toys when his show is on.

All in all, it was rather a pretty good weekend for me afterall...

Conversations with my husband at 2am

Part 1#
You ini hari ada gila?
Tak ada.
You semalam ada gila?
Ada.
Hari ini mao gila tak?
Tak tau.. Kalau gila nanti, esok baru saya beritau..


Part 2#
Sudah makan ubat berapa lama?
You ada tengok serigala? *imitating clawing action* Mao tengok serigala tak? Kalau nak, saya balik dulu.. tak mao ambil ubat hari ini.You malam nanti datang.. saya tunjuk you serigala.. *imitates clawing action again*
*growl*


All I contributed to the conversation was my laughter throughout his own layan shiok sendiri conversation at 2am...

Shes going home.. again

In another 15 minutes, I will have to fetch mom out to One U to take the Aeroline bus back to Penang. Her reasoning was that she has to go back to fix her dentures and it will be about 2 weeks before she comes back here to KL again and company me take care of Jaden, who has been walking and climbing anything he could in the house.

After dropping her there, I have to rush home to take care of Jaden while Hubby gets out for his one day long meeting. This week is going to be one long tense work week and the when the weekend is over, or when this month is over, Hubby will get to heave relieve for a day or two before he gets back on track and starts working again... The workaholic I am married to... just glad that I get to go back to Penang at the end of next month with Jaden for my childhood friend's wedding and spend some quality time with my bestfriend at her place.

While at dinner last night at about 8 something, Hubby messaged me and said, "Of ALL times he has to poo, guess when?"

All I could imagine then was the reaction Hubby got when he catch whiff of the poo smell and go OH NOOOOO!! but since there is no one left to do the job, he has to clean up the little boy's butt while trying hard not to breathe. Well, Hubby said he breathe through the mouth while wiping the boy clean but he was still gagging. *sigh* Well well well, its one of the things he signed up for when he said he is ready to be a father. =)

Jaden stuck to me as soon as I came back and was babbling non-stop. He is so chatty but well, still baby talk la. He knows what we are telling him but he just refuses to speak those words that we teach. Sometimes I think he already knows how to say or pronouce those words but he just refuses to say it out. Like when Hubby asked him to say Daddy, he went and say MAM MAM MAM MAM MAM and when he is asked to call MAMA or MUMMY, then he says DADDYISH.. *sigh* and the little boy refused to sleep until 3am last night. I fed him at 12am and he started playing around, just refusing to sleep despite endless yawns and eye-rubbings, he just refuses to sleep. This boy of mine has been fighting sleep since he was a young boy. Is there really anything exciting for a baby to play at night? Hmm...

Right.. now that its 15 minutes, got to run.. and then come back, wash up well and ready to start a brand new day with Jaden, all by ourselves at home till Hubby comes back.

Toodles! =)

The irony of it

My cab driver that is picking me up in an hour's time is called Mr. Abu.

Yes Gwen! Laugh all you want... =)

Best Pedicure ever!

Remember how I said whenever I have an event to attend, I get all sorts of uglies to distort my appearance?

Well, I was so careful this time round, to wash my face at every opportunity I get so my eye won't get swollen like it usually does.

I make darn sure that my nails and toe nails grow to a certain length that will enable me to do a nice mani and pedicure...

Well, guess what? I managed to get the best pedicure ever done nearing 1am last night. It is so good, it only has to be done to the big toe and woaaalahhh, it is so beautiful, I am doing it injustice if I wear my red shoes to the wedding..

and it costs me a freaking $$$$$$$RM82 for just a toe...

What pedicure so keng chao rite?

.......... ................. ............................ ... ................................ *SWALLOWS SALIVA*

Well.. have you ever seen your toes without the nail?

I have before.. when it happened to my thumb when I was a kid.. and now, at 25, history repeats itself but this time with my big toe.

I don't have the gruesome pic about the toe without nail but I have got the process of it coming off.. the doctor which slowly pulled it and then cut it off the skin attached.. all without painkillers. Its fucking disgusting yet its awesome! I am a hero standing the pain... but the aftermath ain't nice. I don't get to wear pretty shoes at the moment.. dang!*















All in my name that only such things would only happen to me.. lifes great don't you think?

and o.Oh on another note.. Jaden just slept off the night without drinking breastmilk last night. Is it a sign he is ready to wean????? Hmm...


p/s: Joy, doesn't this remind you of something similar that happened years ago?

Blonde moments of mine

While Hubby and I were doing grocery shopping at Tesco one day, during one of the Raya break or the day before, I had a racist blonde moment. One of the rarest racist blonde moment of mine but nevertheless, I still feel kinda bad and stupid after saying it.

I wanted to get some chicken meat to cook at home and when I got to the chicken meat section, there was none left for me to buy. Only chicken feet.

So I got back to Hubby and told him, that there is no more chicken. Why not go get pork instead. Afterall I don't think pork will be soldout during Raya rite?

Get it?

Oh my.. one of those stupid blonde moments of mine...

Don't you just love me Mr Yap -Part 2

Eversince Jaden's birth, Hubby and I use a separate dishwashing liquid to wash only his bottles, bowl and sipping cup.

Just yesterday, his dishwashing liquid finished, so I took out another bottle and un-screwed it. I then started to press the handle for liquid..

Eh, this is actually empty. OMG! They gave us an empty bottle.

What is it?? Your mom put the used one down there isit?

No lah. I just unscrewed it only.. how can it be used in the first place?

Where did we buy it then?

Jusco, a long time ago dey..

Then how like that?

I dunno.. maybe write a complaint letter in to *** ?

But you already unscrewed it, people might think we actually finished using it and then want to cheat people to give us free stuff some more. (opens bottle and look inside)
There are some remains inside tho.. its finished already isit and you totally forgot about it.

Can't be!! I am damn sure because I just unscrewed this.

Feelin disappointed with my purchase, I said, "Never again shall I want to buy from xxx. Boycott them!"

Then I walked back to the sink and see what I can savor from the last remaining drops of liquid to wash Jaden's food bowl only to realize...

JENG JENG JENG.....

That all these while, I was pressing on the old finished bottle instead of the new one. The new one had been framed by me all these while. It has been full all the time I was dissing out to Hubby.

OMG! Damn shy wey!

Feeling so stupid now.

All I could afford to do then when I realized my stupid mistake was sat down on the floor laughing...

Don't you just love your wife, Mr Yap?

To answer your question, Ms Ho

this is red...


this is red...


this is not red.. just the light bouncing off their clothes and onto his head.. AHHAHAHAHAHA

Don't you just love me Mr Yap -Part 2

(Earlier during the day)

What do you want to eat? Noodle?

CAN! Eat the one we bought yesterday la -the Dried Mix

I didn't know it was Dried Mix, thought it was the soup but nah, its the dry type.

(While she puts on the water to cook)

I feel so framed. Got scolded for something I didn't do yesterday. Scold me for not knowing what I bought and paid for it padahal it was you that bought that Dried Mix. DRIED MIX some more la!

(Then as she happily cooks the noodle, putting in the sauce into the water to let it boil before adding the noodle in... happy siut! After like a minute, she adds the noodle and then ...)

Did you put the sauce into the water?

Yea...?!!!

It is supposed to be the DRY TYPE!!! Its not the soupy type of noodle you DOINK!

(Feeling very very very very very very very shy and very very very very very very very very stupid...)

Why didn't you tell me earlier? You are supposed to tell me its like Indomee Goreng then I would know not to put cook the sauce right?

(Summore want to push the blame onto him so she would feel less stupid but nonetheless still stupid!)

I told you over and over again just now that it was the DRY TYPE! DRY! Which part of the word DRY do you not get?

(ALAMAK SIAL! Lucky she did not put too much water to cook the noodle.. so it all turned out quite good in the end anyways but well... she just can't help but feel VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY STUPID!)

The typical scenario in the house of Yap! =)

*sigh* Mr Yap, Mr Yap.. don't you just love this wife of yours?

Hes not Bald, hes my man!
