great weekend, and many more to come

yada-yada-yada, aside from what others have to say about malaysia and our crazy politicos! i'd like to take this opportunity to say 'happy 51st merdeka to all malaysian citizens!'

however, we were annoyed that the fireworks that was blasting behind our house at 12a.m. which i was just about to reach my REM (deep sleep) it went te-ba-bom!! thank goodness... after 5 minutes we managed it just fine.

i'm also keen and excited that we will be embarking into our holy month tomorrow insyallah... bulan ramadhan. a little disappointment, is that i won't be able to complete my fast for 30 days, but i will be rewarded with the most precious gift from Allah almighty, insyallah... in a couple of days time.

am extremely greatful for everything. alhamdulillah.

happy fasting my lovelies!

new found love

bought aira's carrier yesterday, thank goodness for the 25% discount! well worth it. then we discovered something new we'd love to have in our collection. however after serious consideration, we'd have to save up a couple of months in advance before we decide to purchase the chair!

i highly recommend that you take a good look at this extremely good looking chair. it may not be as worth it as you think, but aira's able to use it til she's over 36kgs!! how great is that? haha... and yes i'm not saying that i'm going to turn my daughter into some obese kid, its just that she's able to use it til she grows older. capische?

the retail price for this chair is approximately RM1899! haha... that is why we'd have to save a few months in advance. however, i've already given a heads-up to her uncle, so who knows he might be generous enough then to contribute for it.

tried and failed

i've been totally bored with the template i've been using for the blog. tried to download some new ones but i'm just a hopeless wreck trying to figure out what goes where, so in the end i just decided that i would not have a problem sticking to something dull and mundane! so there you go... a new look for my blog! ahah..

things you have to go through!

usually i get either compliments or criticism from people especially during my pregnancy (but hands down i think its more on criticism!!) most will ask me if i'm carrying a girl, and when i say 'yes' they'll say ohhh... no wonder, your skin color is funny, or discolored, or you really look tired and pale all the time... bluegh!

its pretty disheartening!! or shall i say menyakitkan hati, dah la you put on weight and people comment on that too! tsk tsk tsk...

however, just now while hubs and i were having dins, we were looking at this little girl who was having dins with her grandparents! she's extremely adorable and she speaks really well... however, we smiled and made eye contact and all... i just love looking at their bond, between the grand parents and the grand child! i would loveeeee for my chubster to be close to hers!

when i stood up she looked and gasped, put both of her hands on her mouth and said "ohhh, so cuteee!!" then looked at me and asks, "is that your first?" i smiled shamefully, nodded and said "yes..." and again she complimented me. seriously 'grandma, you really made my day!!'

weekly update!

was at the hosp earlier, and spoke to my other gynae at assunta hosp about baby's estimated due date (edd) and our birth plan aswell... well at least bits and pieces of it.

baby grrrl is approximately 3.1 as of today! my my she has grown so fast within a week! and her femur bone is approximately 3 inches. long huh? who knows she's going to have fabulous legs like heidi klum or gisele bundchen! haha... she'd make a killing then huh?

oh well, i'm just cracking jokes as my days are nearer and i'm getting more nervous and anxious!

met dahl & hadi for tea, thanks for the prezzies lovelies! seriously you didn't have to... but its well appreciated none-the-less.

anyhoo, hubs and i spoke to each other and just in case if i don't deliver before the 8th which was the initial edd, then we're going to induce it on the 8th... hopefully all goes well...

happy birthday to me

bluegh! so i'm officially 27, i seriously don't feel special at all on my birthday, haha... its just another day that goes by and all i'm looking forward to is seeing my little chubster.

maybe i'm just being a lazy sod, can't be bothered to feel excited about it, teehee.

stuffed

just finished dins at fatty crab. although it was only the 5 of us the bill came up to RM240! haha... we ordered practically all that we could think of except for those yucky century eggs.

crabs with chili (check)
steam fish (check)
steam prawns (check)
steam crabs (check)
fried rice (check)
chicken wings (check)
toasted bread (check)

see we practically did cover everything. how cool is that? now, i'm feeling all bloated and i've got angin in my perut! things you go through when you're all greedy! ok need to settle my perut now... bai.

more, more and more updates bout the little chubs!

walked into the doctors room, and she had a bright smile on her face... didn't know if i did anything wrong, i smiled and said good morning! she said good morning dear... how are we feeling today? how's the baby? i said we're both good... she asked no more false alarm? *blush*blush* nooo... i answered her... tee hee.

walked over to the weighing scale, and i'm stagnant @ 9 kgs. then she asked me again the 1,000,000 dollar question, you're not dieting right? smiled and said nope! eat every meal, on time, every time!

then she scanned my baby grrrl, alhamdulillah all looks good and ready to go. then she laughed, and said your baby girl is pretty chubby! haha... i find it pretty funny that everytime we go to the docs there's always a story to tell about my little poochie! doctor mentioned something about the baby having 3 layers of god knows what, we laughed and laughed cause for a tiny little girl who only weights 2.8 now, she's pretty chubs!

a heads up to those who's planning to get preggers or almost due, you will know when you're in labor when:
1. your contraction hits almost every 10 minutes, with of course the cramps and the whole mumbo-jumbo.
2. when your water breaks, a bit on the obvious side. please don't decide to go do your last minute shopping.
3. when you're staining, and make sure you know the difference... according to the docs it could come in 2 ways, similarly to your menstrual cycle or when it actually bleeds. please learn to be a bit more observant.

and the rest we spoke about was, the hospital bag, best to have these items in it:
1. toiletries
2. bath and facial towel
3. sarung/long pants
4. tops/t-shirts with front button
5. slippers
6. socks
7. air selusuh for us muslims... even the doc advised me to have it by my side during my labor. how cool is that? she seriously rocks!
*additional note!
8. maternity pad
9. breast pad
10. disposable p's
11. nursing bras
12. lotion/cream for the external body parts

*think that should be sufficient*.

okay i think basically i've covered everything there is to know about chubs & my self! till then... keep wishing me the best of luck.

uneducated nut!

yesterday as we arrived at the gardens, i wanted to slap kaw this guys face. that numb nut is seriously uneducated. as we entered the carpark we saw a car reversing, therefore instead of blocking the traffic we decided to wait after the slot, and signalled to the right waiting for the car to leave. only to learn this other paria waited at the back, and with all selambaness he just drove his car in.

with my crazy ass hormones raging, told hubs to reverse and have a word with him... we honked and all, what he said was, oh you were waiting in front that means you missed the car park slot, you might as well just proceed as there are other parking spaces. we said we signalled and that was ours to begin with. he and his stupid hand gesture, no you go in front, i already park! his young son was seated at the back witnessing the stupidity of his father, i hope he does not turn out to be exactly like his dad. please little boy if you're reading this, have some common sense. feel free to use those things we're gifted with called brains, and yeah you could tell your dad that it is functional for all human beings.

freaking idiot paria of an ass. pissed the living hell out of me.

the game

yesterday there was another game for the blondies at sports planet subang 11 court. well since they're the defending champs the pressure really got to them i guess! however, they played a rather good but a tensed one.

the boys won 4-3 against united fc, extremely young guns with high stamina, it seemed like they were toying around with the blondies as for fitness wise... in the early part of the game, they almost had a fight which is rather common among these futsallers (don't know if this word exist but heck i just felt like using it), only god knows why... oh well boys will be boys. oh yeah, hubs saved a shot but somehow dived and had a slow reaction to covering his face, therefore his nose almost bled due to the 'rembatan' yang sangat kuat di depan goal! poor dude. he was replaced by syed, and he played an extremely good game til the end.

i was in awe playing with delia (everytime i felt nervous)... a sweet little princess who is less than 2 months old! so extremely sweet and cute. she acknowledged every time her father speaks to her... according to her mummy, her daddy is her talking partner... cute aye?

babies are fantastic, they're extremely smart! can't wait.

after the game, we headed straight to devi's taman tun, seriously i think we should get some shares from them... it is almost like every other night we're there! got home about 2 a.m. i was already sweating like a pig when it was 130 or so, imagine how uncomfortable and yucky i felt! bluek.

think this week would be my last week for any sort of outings! next week is all about nesting...

more updates

she's 2.7 kgs! woohoo.

her femur/thigh bone was measured and doc said she's a pretty tall girl, got it from her daddy i guess.

i am officially fatter, i have put on 9 kgs.

doctor said i should try going through labor without epi.

shit, heart sank but i guess she'd know what she's doing. there'll be different pain killers and what not i'm sure.

next week onwards it'll be a weekly check up, instead of every fortnight.

she has also given us a chart to monitor baby's movements every morning for the next 2 weeks! must must must make sure we'd get it right.

okbai, that's all for now.

getting ready

getting ready to go and see the doc now...

i have approximately 24 days, til my due date, however, ramai orang said that i would go way earlier before my due date! so if we were to go by weeks, i'm in my 36th week and 4 days. another 2 weeks should be sufficient!

wow! i can't wait.

we got all her cotbed and changing table all set up at my parents place, her things are all placed there as well, just in case... she decides to pop earlier and say hello to the world before the due date.

some says that i don't look like i've got 2 weeks left as i am still extremely active. i can't stand being all sloppy and feeling all erggh how should i say this, mengah at home! hehe.. if i'm tired i'll take a nap, or just baring. then i'm up and about again.

but i think i should stop sleeping late as this affects her too! poor darling girl, i've been sleeping rather late these past few nights it varies from 1a.m. to 3a.m. oh well... i should and must sleep earlier!

was just thinking about me being in my confinement, oh i'm so going to miss my little babies at home. it'll be such a long time til i can play with my kitties after! but i'm willing to sacrifice that part, just hope hubs and my bro will be able to play and entertain them.

all-dressed-in-love

everyday i start my day by listening to this song by jennifer hudson!

if you haven't heard the ost of sex and the city then you're really missing out. this particular song makes me feel extremely good about myself, teehee... yes gila self involved but you gotta do things to make you feel good you know, put a smile to your face :)

and for you big fans of sex and the city, if you've not seen the movie, shame on you! go go catch the movie. well to some they would say its pretty disappointing cause the emotions is not as strong this time round compared to its series, but like i said heck it! it felt like it was a reunion. i was a happy mommy... it was my quality time with the girls, as in it was carrie, sam, miranda, charlotte and myself. back in new york, in the tiny little apartment - with the extremely elaborated walk in closet. i could not ask for more.

check out the song yeah?

... Cool in the summer, warm in the winter
I’m dressed up in love
I’m cool in the summer, warm in the winter...

love love love... laa laa di dii doo dee!

sometimes you just want to strangle them!

we decided to get aira's changing top yesterday at the furniture shop near centre point. we've been meaning to get it but you know we're usually bogged down with things or errands!

but today we weren't so busy, so yeah we got to the shop and started walking and looked around if we were interested in other stuff... i was already getting extremely annoyed that the sales person was just tailing me around, i mean come on! give us some space already... if i do need your help i'll holler la!

so to expedite the process of purchasing the item, we told the sales girl that we'd like this particular model and this particular color. asked her if the discounts were still avail, as what the previous sales person said, the promo will end on the 5th! which was yesterday... she came back and said, oh that does not have the 15% off anymore, the promo ended on Sunday! bloody great!

nevermind, we put all that aside... but just to inform you my BLOOD was at the BOILING POINT already, and i could hear that i was raising my voice... ugly ugly site.

when we were at the counter to pay, we waited like 15 freaking minutes for them to send the item, and when it got there they took the wrong product! freaking hell, what's going on with these people?

okay after another 10 minutes they finally got the right product, then i walked over to pay and i asked them... "do you have any warranty for this item?" you know usually when you purchase these bulk items, it comes with one... the sales guy looked at me and asked... "what kind of warranty you want?" ARGH!! i could just tear my head apart already at this point!!??

it was frustrating, then i said, "well usually established shops would have some sort of warranty if something goes wrong with their item we're able to go back to the shop and get something replaced or whatever the hell la you know!?" he was like, "ohh... yeah can... but don't come back after like 3-4 years everything koyak oredi, then you come complain la..."

i looked at him, seriously all i felt like doing was to KETUK his kepala... i just jeling *which is so totally childish of me, and said no one would be that stupid to do that la... i asked you within a year la... tsk tsk tsk! talk about the art of not L-I-S-T-E-N-I-N-G at all. besterd. make me turn into a monster je.

left the shop, not feeling satisfied even after purchasing my babies item! i kept on repeating to hubs, he was just being an inconsiderate condescending prick! i kid you not.

nadyne aira's s.h.o.w.e.r

i'm totally blessed! really, i am surrounded with extremely beautiful friends...

it wouldn't be as great if i had it without them, seriously...

although yesterday felt like it was such a long day, due to the extremely hot weather, it was bearable due to the company :)

we served finger food, and had all the decos put up... all before 3 p.m. our organizers arrived before 4 just to make sure everything was in order.

slowly but surely our other guests turned up, all wearing pink (yes boys were wearing pink too!) thanks to our so called 'slave drivers' - according to my brother they were dahl & wo! teehee...
well if you ask me they weren't slave drivers they were just merely organizing things... hehhe...

as more arrived, we started the game with 'guess how big the mummy's tummy is'... okay this was hilarious! many were overly confident that they could get it on target, only to learn that they were wayyyy off! this was fun, seriously.

then they moved on to fill in the blanks, some was worried that they would be graded as how it was in school! haha... and some was wondering if they could win a gift based on their creativity, the most creative answer wins... kelakar k?! *muka semua stress-stress*

then proceeded with gobbling of the food, and then to opening of the prezzies!

boy-oh-boy i must admit aira's been rather fortunate, she really got some cool ass prezzies from her aunties and uncles!

really gotta thank you guys for everything that you've done and given us... love love love! :D
