the weeping weekend

last sunday, i cried.

after a gorgeous morning with the family, i put my tot to bed and rested with her... after the swim and the hearty breakfast we took our shower, only to realize the rest of my toiletries and under garments are packed in hubs' bag. him being him, took his sweet time measuring the apartment for some fixtures, and decided to get ready there instead.

we had a 12.30 lunch date with our usual 'kaki' at kavitha's which i have been looking forward to the whole week, "pathetic" i know. while waiting, there had been too many mis comm happening at the same time.

after half an hour i called hubs and he said he was already on the way to kavitha's, and tears flowed down, WITHOUT ME? why-oh-why? was i left behind? plus i felt vulnerable without those briefs. gah. what made it worse, i had lost it all when i was talking to him which was rather uncalled for. ok, there i admit, i was wrong... and i'm sorry; but i was really upset (in my defense)

all said and done, the day ended pretty great, not in the sombre mood. i spent the whole day with the tot, but left her when we met up with another 'kaki makan' peeps for dins! we headed to bukit bintang for some good seafood, well that was the rave reviews we got... honestly, i think the only good stuff there was the FATTY JUICY PRAWNS with chili padi, utter yummness.

so there, that's how the sunday went.

this is whats left from what we ordered, that says a lot about our LOT, NO?

but i felt i was robbed off the weekend, like as though it did not exist! damn..

i'm looking forward to this coming weekend, maybe there would be more time for me to spend with the tiny tot who is actively running and a super chatter box. everyday, i thank god for her presence in my life. blessed, amin.

almost...

...doesn't count right?

hubs called me winona/absent minded mommy...

think i was extremely occupied with the little bub - misbehaving while i took her out for lunch at ikea, i had walked earlier while waiting for a girl friend, so i decided, i'd like to buy something for the little one...

but during lunch, i was in for quite a ride with her!

okay to cut the story short, hubs was waiting for me at the entrance and i was totally excited to see him... and then i parked the stroller and he carried aira, he turned and asked me, "hey, what's that you bought for her?" i looked and said... "i didn't buy anything... i only had lunch!"

oh ohhh...

he pointed, "there! below the stroller... the red thing..." jeng jeng jeng! (my heart was racing...)

i panicked. took the stuff and walked to the guard, passed the item and said... "i'm so sorry, i totally forgot to pay for this. could you please hand it to the cashier or something..."

then, i slowly made my way to the car, full of embarassment!

shit. i'm not a kleptomaniac!

the jist

been meaning to blog, i think i have about 4 saved drafts! but i was just lazy.

anyway, just a brief update on the latest haps.

my little chubster just turned 3 months old on monday, same day as eid al-adha. so of course it was more meaningful for us. we made our way to my parents, had brunch which was abso-scrumptious! then we headed to my in-laws. yes, we're fair like that... that's why i have an undying love for my hubby.

tired, but satisfied at the end of the day.

the whole week i've been stressing my self out, (my cold sore was starting to act up! thank goodness, i managed to overcome the whole thing) remember the wedding that we got invited to? yeah, leaving the little one at home with the maid is fine, but i still have my doubts and observations on her! so i asked my parents to come over and monitor the both of them.

so, fri eve... as i was getting ready, the little one seemed suspicious... i asked my mom to carry her and she screamed her head off! hahaa... my maid had to calm her down... it didn't really work, i had to carry to pacify her. yeah, imagine this was going to be my second outing away from her for more than an hour! imagine that!

skipping the whole mumbo-jumbo, mom just told us to leave and enjoy our eve at the wedding.

finally arrived at sime darby convention center, being out without the little one feels weird for me. yes, call me crazy or whatever you want la... i just felt odd.

i don't know if its normal or not, but i was pretty excited about dressing up... you see i've been having doubts and all, coz since i've been preggers, you know there is such thing as excess fats being developed, and after birth, its not that easy to lose it all! hahaha.. so yeah, i was dying to find out if i was still able to fit in my corset! it went well though. hooray.

quick note about the bride, a friend that i've known since we were 10! wow, can you imagine that? crazy eh? but she's still the same person i've known all these years :)

"congratulations tunku putri nur asma & asraf!"

you had an extremely elegant reception, we're sorry we couldn't stay til the end... hope we'll see you next sunday!

came home and it was such an overwhelming feeling for me, the 2 hours away from the little one made me teary when i got home, saw her sleeping, thought she was going to continue but somehow she knew i was back and woke up! *the look on her face, how it lit up was just priceless... i was speechless*

such a great feeling being a mommy, you ought to try it sometime, hihi... ;)

listening to: no other love - john legend f. estelle!

i believe congratulations should be in place...

i believe i should start my blog with congratulating my friends!

dahl & loque; congratulations on your first step, to eternal happiness that is well deserved by the both of you! (making a LDR work is obviously challenging, but you guys have given hope to those who has lost all hope in that) KUDOS!

a personal note to dahl, "darling i'm just a phone call away, if you need any help at all with wedding prep or to talk to vent out errr whatever else no specific reason needed pun is fine... i got your back ;)" ... i is love you!

hafiz & aishah; congratulations on your akad nikah last night, may your marriage be filled with happiness and your love flourished more and more each day! i must say the wedding favor is absolutely gorgeous!

on a shorter note: we took aira out on friday night to the curve for dins, met up with some friends - rini & rizal, liana & zadey and selly! it felt like it was planned, a reunion... its been a while since we last saw them and hung out! it was cute seeing the 2 preggy ladies up and about! rini is due in feb, while liana is due in april, i so can't wait... aira will have 2 new friends... wee!

then on saturday: my parents came over for breakfast, mom usually get excited in the mornings cause she's able to come over and bathe aira. then at 11 we made our way back to their place, had lunch with my uncle and auntie, who came all the way from rembau to see aira for an hour and a half hour only!

back home, got ready and headed to masjid wilayah for the solemnization ceremony. short, sweet and elegant!

another long day ahead of us today! sigh.
