of.surprise.&.me.

C***'s back last night. Yea, I forgot to mention that he's away for a work trip(again).

He even bumped into his FIL (otherwise known as my dad.he he) whilst he was in the airport on Monday. Yea, dad is here in KL for some kind of seminar(I bet he must be tired, baru balik from China dah kena datang KL pulak). He thought that he'd surprise us by calling on Monday night, tengok-tengok menantu dia pulak takda in KL whilst he's around and if nak mengharapkan his daughter to come over to his hotel, it would be irrelevant as she's as blind as a bat when it comes to directions plus he wouldn't want his daughter to drive alone in KL at night, jadi rancangan surprise itu adalah tidak menjadi. he he.

C*** told me that moi dad even invited him to join his ciggie break since he got some time to kill before his departure. Yes, that's sorta awkward right darling? Especially if you're a smoker but neveeeer smoke in front of your FIL out of respect. he he. 2 words, padan muka. :P How bout quitting em altogether? he he. Yea, I'd never sympathize when it comes to smoking. I'm eeeviiil just like that.

On a lighter note, I can't wait to go home for Deepavali( he he,excited macam la sambut). It has been ages since the last time we went back to Kedah. I miss mum's home cooked food(especially her macaroni soup!) and I'm craving for this particular mee goreng mamak(note: mee goreng mamak di KL adelah gagal) and this one particular restaurant's awesome lunch spread, especially the ikan bakar. Owhhh...*salivates*

Last but not least, I wanna see my Yan, mum told me his health is improving bit by bit and I'm feeling bad for not being able to see him as often as I should. This is when I hope that Doraemon's pintu suka hati does exist. :(

Yea, I could be too childish at times for my own good.

Lunch time's over.

Tata.

of.weekend buzz.&.me.

Happy Monday! Not. he he.

I'm still feeling pretty sluggish from the I-did-nothing-much-but-I'm-still-tired-to-the-bones weekend.

The wedding's nice except for the facts that I couldn't really stomach the food due to the heat and the bad headache that I got after coming back from the wedding.

I slept the noon away only to wake up to C*** patting me on head like I'm a cat or something whilst asking me whether I wanna tag along to see Atok. Felt sober enough so I followed C***, FIL & BIL for a quick trip to the hospital around 6pm. I don't know about you, but I hate hospitals - especially those old government hospitals, too eerie for my liking. Tsk tsk.

Talking bout hospital. Let's ramble bout our 1st checkup for a bit.

Well, we reached the hospital a quarter after 3pm. Thanks to the heavy downpour and nasty KL traffic. The queue (to see the doc) was pretty long by the time we're done with the registration, urine test screening and whatnot.

We hafta wait for 2 freaking hours before seeing the doc. ha ha. The 1st checkup yang menguji kesabaran, but everything's dandy thanks to the awesome doc. She's owh so motherly and peramah that it helped to ease my nerves for a bit.

We went thru the some normal Q&A sessions, predict the EDD, went through the what-to -do and what-to-eat list and last but not least, a 4D ultrasound.

(note:this is when I'll start to sound cheesy)

Well, to tell ya the truth. I was about to pee in my pants when the gyne started to drizzle the cold gel on my pelvic area(the baby is still hiding somewhere in there since the fetus is still a wee bit on the super tiny side).

Once the transducer touched moi skin, we were able to see the baby as the lil precious was turning and twisting like nobody's business.(I think the gyne sounded more excited than us since she ohh-ed and ahh-ed all the way through the process whilst we on the other hand were too dumbstruck to say anything but "owh, the baby is soo tinnnny"). The gyne searched for the heartbeat and let us listen to it. She measured the baby, showed us the blood flow and whatever not.

The fetus already look like a baby alright, only super tiny as he/she is only 2 inches long at 11 weeks. The gyne even gave us our baby's 1st 3D image for keepsake and I also had my blood taken for blood screening. Owh joy! Not. It was nasty as I had an ugly bruise the next day. he he. I hate needles and I'm a scaredy cat just like that. :P

The next appointment gonna be sometime next month and till then, I have to eat tons of good fresh food(a big freaking no to fast food dan semua yang sewaktu dengannyer), drink tons of fresh milk(like a liter per day tho I'm yet to really start on it) etc.

I'm glad that everything seems to be great so far. Alhamdulillah.

I just hope that it stays that way. Nevermind the queasiness and the suffering - after all it's all in a good cause, we're having a mini-me! Err.. I mean, a mini-us. :P

So yea, I'd post a pic later, provided I'm in an extra rajin mode.

Eh..lupa. It's our 4 months anniversary today. ha ha.


Well, what can I say? I love ya more and more each day. Please love me 100 times more okay? Keep it up with your I'm-so-nice-to-my-wife-that-it's-unbelievable-sometimes attitude. Please don't mind me when it comes to my new and upcoming habit. Please bear with the occasional emotional roller-coaster, after all I'm feeling for two. Please mark your calendar for another romantic dinner this weekend and I want to jalan-jalan, anywhere will do as long as I'll get to bully be with you.(Hey it rhymes!) :P

Enough of mushiness.

Have a great week.

Ciou.

of.traveling.&.me.


The other day, I was blabbering to C*** about work and traveling.

I mean, C*** travels a lot for his work trips and whatnot, whilst mine is like so mundane as I'd be in the office most of the time except for the occasional meeting and whatnot.(Like yea, whadayya expect, I'm a geek. The computer and I love each other.)

*pouts*

But..err.. I like the working-environment, the flexi hours and the paycheque.

So yea, I can't win em all.

Anyway, I'm hoping for a getaway for us(tho obviously it won't be anytime soon *sighs*). I'd like to go somewhere new, beautiful and all that. C*** gave me a few options, one being his *cough* 2nd hometown *cough*, Japan.(Sabar jer lah orang tu sedikit perasan, but since he's such a darling, I'll give it to him). But come to think of it, it would be nice to have a travel partner cum tour guide since he's good with the language, places, food(what could be eaten and vice versa), custom and whatnot.

Senang sket macik nak bergumbira eh?


Well, let's leave it at that and come back to it once we're 3 - which is laaaambattt lagi. Must not whine bout it too much.

Anyway,

I'm feeling pretty much like an anorexic these days as more often than not, I'll puke my guts out after each meal including snacks. Aweeesome.(Yea, I used 'puke my guts out' quite often now. How niceee. Not.)

I was craving for koewteaw kerang last night so C*** tapau-ed em for dinner - only to find out that there's no kerang to be seen in moi plate(apekah maknanya semua ini?) but it was rather abundant in C***'s, so C*** had to give me his. he he.(Owh, C*** forced me to reheat everything before dinner, just to make sure those cockles were thoroughly cooked. He's my self-proclaimed dietitian now. )

Nowadays, my normal lunch normally consist of a quarter plate of rice + stir fried vege + vege. I just couldn't digest any curry, sambal, masak lemak or whatever not. The look of its gravy alone make me wanna puke. Haih.

We're going for our 1st checkup at Pusrawi on Friday. I can't wait. No, not really. I can. I'm actually sitting at the edge of my seat whilst thinking of it. Takot - for whatever reason that is, tho the girl who answered my call when I was trying to book for an appointment made it sounds fun.

We're going back to Malacca this weekend for a wedding. C***'s cousin's wedding to be specific. God, don't let me be as lembik as sayur bayam please. I'd like to be useful.

Heard a news bout a friend. It's heart breaking tho it's not like it matters anymore bout how I feel these days(one day you're in the loop, next thing ya know, you're out), but yea, I wish you well.

Everything is still pretty breezy for me, minus the backache and the anorexic thing. Not much of those emotional roller coaster for me(just yet) as I'm not much of a drama queen and yet to force C*** out to the store in the middle of the night to get me anything.

Dad is out of the country for a work trip. Mum's home alone for the past 2 days(but the lil bro's coming home today) so I make it a point to call her everyday(like usual) and blabber as much as I could. Yesterday we talked about her students Kajian Tempatan's written test.

Yea, moi mum is a teacher. She teaches English(but don't blame her when it comes to my crappy English) and recently Kajian Tempatan(as she used to teach high school geography before). Owh, back to the written test, Mum told me some of their answers and it's hilarious (& menyedihkan all at the same time).

Nyatakan perayaan utama untuk kaum-kaum di bawah
Melayu - raya Melayu. Cina - raya Cina. Iban - raya Iban.

Like yea, those came from a standard 4 student, how ignorant could he/she be? Adekah dia baru datang Malaysia naik tongkang?

Well, kids nowadays, they are either too smart or just plain malas.

I'm off.

Need to work on something tho I'm a bit of a sleepyhead today - C*** was in a super chatty mode last night(we still couldn't shut up even after all those chatty years) - tho we're already in bed by midnight, I only managed to take off to la la land sometime before 2am. Whatever for you darling.

Good day.

Ciou.

of.called in sick.&.me.


I called in sick yesterday as I was having a mean headache with multiple trips to the bathroom to puke my guts out(but nothing came out,so it was torture).

Slept the morning away, woke up to C***'s phone call sometime during midday. Took a shower, had biscuits and bottles of Vitagen.

Tried to do some ironing but my head failed me so I stayed in bed whilst watching a lame drama.

Yea, how's that for an awesome day off? :P

Anyway, am feeling much better now since I don't do morning sickness that often, mine is more of night sickness as I'd feel like throwing out each time after dinner and my back will aches(but thank God for a wonderful masseur but he's sorta ganas at times so I hafta ask him to be lemah lembut a bit and he would go "Dear, you want me to urut ke buat geli-geli?" Haih).

Well, let's be random bout the weekend for a bit.

o1. We went to Ikea for a shopping spree. Yea, we bought a sofa, a matching carpet, a floor lamp and an el-chepo wall-clock. he he. We didn't even need a delivery for that as everything was stuffed into C***'s big car and C*** solely carried em in and out of the car himself whilst I did pretty much nothing - except dragging those as light as a feather stuff, saya bukan malas, he won't let me. Katanya "awak tak payah tunjuk kuat". So who am I to say anything? Isteri mithali jangan derhaka. Yes?

o2. C*** managed to assemble everything within an hour whilst I did..err..still pretty much nothing but read out the instructions and handed over the screws and whatnot to him. he he.

o3. We had visitors that night. he he. The cousins together with their cute kids. Owh, kenapakah sudah hilang rambut helmet itu? he he. Their eldest kid was jumping up and down the sofa(sib baek mama anak dah beli sofa, kot tak naufal nak lompat ataih apa? ehehhe), all hyped up after a jar of M&M.

o4. We went to visit Zue darling on Saturday. She looked good, happy and all that. Her daughter is sooo tiny that I had to pass from taking my turn to hold her. Sangat lah keciknya, adelah takot untuk dukong. I'll wait for another month or two lah macik, later I'll come back to dukong2. :P

o5. We also went to scout for the potential hospital to do the checkup. So far I'm torn between Ampang Puteri and Pusrawi. We'll see how lah.

That's about it. We're having another cycle of SIT at work today.

Berusahalah!

Have a great week okie?

Ciou.

of.news.&.me.


I had a tiring but productive weekend.

Went to a bunch of weddings, had fabulous food(tho I had an excruciating time to keep it down) and a wee bit of shopping spree for our crib.

Well, I don't know whether I should start to blabber about something or not, but I'd like to ramble about it in this blog for memories sake, so yea, here it goes..

we're pregnant. ha ha. How's that for an update?

Owh well, it has been quite a breezy journey for me so far, no morning sickness whatsoever(I got it from my mummy, hers was the same) except for the fact that I had a hard time to refrain myself from puking my guts out especially after dinner if I had too much to eat.

I'm hungry like all the time but I couldn't eat much else I'd throw out half of it half an hour later but I could still eat lah, like a lot.

Owh, I don't look pregnant, yet.

I have an endless craving list but there's nothing that C*** can't handle as he's sorta used to it already. I craved for weird food years before I'm married(& pregnant), it's a habit remember? So yea, nothing new with that.

I'm officially malas when it comes to cooking. I rarely cook now as the smell of the hot oil and whatnot make me nauseous, but I'd still cook once or twice a week for C*** tho he's fine with eating in or out. Walaupon dah kasi chance tak payah masak, jangan la mengada sangat ye dok? :P

I'm fine with the house chores except for folding the laundry which has been officially handed over to C*** kerana saya memang malas lipat baju ya amat(He knew about it years before we're married, so it's not like I never warn him about it. he he). I'd wash and iron without complaints tapi melipat? No thank you. Darling, how about a walk-in closet so I could iron and hang everything please? :P

Owh, something funny happened last night.

Whilst we were watching tv whilst lying on the bed last night, I fell asleep(again), woke up sometime at 1am feeling all hot(not hot-mama hot, but panas-rimas-nak-mati hot) and bothered for some kind of reason(somehow the room smelled like ikan goreng,blurgh - something was terribly wrong with my nose or perhaps my mind) so I had a hard time to resume my sleep. Not wanting to disturb C***, I walked out of the room and ended up sleeping in front of the tv. he he.

The thing is, C*** actually got up sometime at 3am to look for his missing wife. It funny considering that C*** is not a light sleeper as it's sorta tough to wake him up as he'd only wake up to his alarm clock or my endless pestering else he'll sleep like a log.

So yea, how did he manage to realize that I was not around and got up to look for me is a mystery(I'm yet to interrogate him on this matter).

Yes, he dragged me back into bed(whilst blabbering bout me not getting a proper sleep and whatnot) and since my head was heavy with sleep, terus tido sampai pagi. he he.

How's that for hormonal imbalance? :P

I reckon there's more to come.

Hmpp..I'm running out of my liquid bacteria,err..Vitagen I mean. Hafta restock em today.

Owh, have a great week.

Tata.

of.a.night.out.&.me.

Sorry for the lack of update. he he. Sorry? It's not like I have much readers(& stalkers to) to be sorry for. Well, I'm just being sorry for myself as I'm supposed to ramble bout everything in moi daily life so I could read it later on when I'm all wrinkly like a raisin.

Anyway, went out for dinner with the parents last night. Being dad he requested for "anything simple, pedas pedas, sate ke?". ha ha. Tetiba sate. So being the nice kid that I am, ehem. We decided to go for sate-kegemaran-family-turun-temurun somewhere along Jln Semarak. Yea, I couldn't even recall the name of the restaurant but it has been everyone's favourite for some kind of reason. he he.

We reached the kedai a quarter before 9pm only to be informed that they ran out of sate. Great, the only good stuff about that place is the freaking sate and they ran out of it. So how la?

I was thinking about dragging the parents to Keramat for another nice sate but thought better of it since the place's sorta crowded and I had one of those weird nagging feeling at the back of my head that the place adelah tutup.

He he. Don't ask me why, I just did. Plus dragging the parents all the way to a place only to find out that it's closed would be sorta bahaya, especially the fact that moi dad could be rather impatient when he's hungry. Owh, perangai adelah sama seperti C***. You won't like em when they're hungry. Sangat garang. he he.

So yea, the next option hafta be the sate kajang's shop at Tmn Melati. To be honest, I never fancy the sate, it has been too commercialized that it has lost the kick. Macam lagi sedap jer sate pasar malam.

Well, since that's the only and the final option for the night, we settled for it. We ordered 60 sticks of sate with 2 plates of ketupat. Mum quit eating after 4 sticks, yours truly after munching on 7, dad's 8 whilst C*** and dad's driver struggled to finish the rest. he he.

Itu pon we ended up with 7 leftovers which I tapau-ed. ha ha. Tah bila tahun nak reheat dan makan as it has been tossed into the freezer to be turned into sate-popsicle . Owh talking bout popsicle, the moment the plate of sate was placed on our table, it was iced cold, fine lah it was not iced cold, but it was cold alright, like sate-bakar-semalam-kot cold tho we waited for good 20 minutes for it to arrive.

Dad, being the menegakkan-hak-pelanggan guy that he is, complained about the cold sate and we had to wait for another 5-10 minutes for the sate to be reheated/exchanged.

Albeit the reheating or exchanging process, the sate was sorta sucky as it was on the tough side and was not grilled long enough. I like my sate on the garing side. he he. Tho takde lah sampai jadi arang, I like em all smoky and crispy on the outside and tender inside which was not the case last night. Sungguh keciwa.

We ate, we talked, mum gave me the new road tax(Thank youuu ayah! What would I do without you? :D) and the parents later headed for Putrajaya as they were staying at the Pullman. Yes kakna bebeh, adelah tidak logic for them to stay at my crib. he he. Kang kena tidoq atas lantai kot. :P

We went back home, watched a wee bit of tv(C*** wanted to watch Bruce Lee) and tidoq(I actually fell asleep whilst watching tv, watching tv whilst lying on bed memang selalu gagal).

Owh yea, I reckon my weekend gonna be pretty hectic as I have a friend to visit(Darling Zue already gave birth to a cute baby gurl) , some shopping to be done and a wedding to attend.

That's about it.

I'm craving for slices of crispy garlic bread dipped in mushroom soup. Hmpp..hafta.make.em.tonight.

So yea, have a great weekend aight? Tata.

of.marriage, work.&.me.

So we've been married for the past 3 months and 10 days, we're still going through our learning curve - tho it's not as steep as before as it's getting pretty easy now to learn bout living and surviving with each other. he he. Not much of a bumpy ride(as we've known each other for the past 7 years) but not a super smooth-sailing either as I'd still argue bout his I-don't-mind attitude.

It drives me nuts sometimes.

Darling, what do you want to have for dinner?

Ape-ape pon tak kisah.

Darling, I'd like to eat out, mana nak makan?

Mana-mana pon okie, I'll eat whatever you crave for.

Darling, would you prefer ayam goreng or ayam masak kicap?


Mana yang paling senang?

Owh, it sounded like a dream comes true at times, tapi kadang-kadang adelah menyakitkan hati, especially when you actually need someone to decide for you. Well, nevermind lah darling, at least this is the kind of sakit hati I could absolutely live with, jangan sakit hati sebab lain-lain sudahh. Yes? :P

Hmpp..C***'s away on a work trip and he'll be back tonite, woh cepat lah balik.

On a lighter note, the Ipoh trip was a bit tiring whilst the darling bridal shower yesterday was great. It had been a while since the last time we meet up, so we had a blast catching up over wonderful spread of food whilst taking silly pictures and whatnot - tho I forgot to bring the candy-filled glass jars. T_T

Dah nak sampai baru perasan tertinggal. What a great timing to be utterly merangah (clutsy) .Haih. Would try to distribute it anyway during the darling's reception this weekend.

Hmpp..today I'm owh-so-free at work that it hurts, my brain that is. Adelah mati kutu when there's no bug to fix during the UAT period. C'mon people, sila lah test dengan pantas so I'll have something to code, the system couldn't be that perfect aight? I must have missed something somewhere(especially the reporting part as I loathe the calculations the most.he he - tho it's doesn't mean saya buat kerja cincai, mana laaaa tau tertinggal ape-ape. :P I'm not perfect ya know?).

It's true, too much FB and blog hopping and news-reading are sorta sickening, so faster lah, faster.

Owh, that's about it.

Have a great week. Be extremely good okie?

Ciou.
