o1. I gained another 1kg in a month but half of it goes to the little precious as she's already 2kg at 32 weeks & 5 days. So yea, only 500g weight gain for mummy. Woot! Saya adelah tidaklah segemuk yang disangka. he he.

o2. The other half called to confirm on our previously tentative schedule for babymoon - we're going this week!. He already booked the hotel and all that - his treat, thanks love :x . It has been quite sometime since my last stay at a fancy hotel, oleh itu keterujaan adelah tinggi. Tak dapat duduk Four Seasons again pon takpe lah (reason being, I'm deemed unfit for Langkawi, tsk tsk). Well let's not waste (too much of) precious money lah kan? Now that we need to menabung for the baby, harus lah berjimat. :P

o3. I'm going to be tested for GBS during our next checkup. Ini adelah scary. I know it's just a simple procedure and all that but I'm a chicken at heart, just like that. Hopefully I could take the swab myself kerana saya adelah malu. When I whined about it to C***, he just laughed it off. Ya I know I should be thankful for having the chance to have such a nice motherly doc that would handle my delivery later, be it normal or not - yea, looking at her adelah sungguh kagum, I mean it's like looking at a normal macik yang sebenarnye adelah seorang surgeon.ha ha - oleh itu, I should just relax and not be too embarrassed. Haih, how la?

o4. Got my 1st dose of ATT shot during our checkup last week, it was not a pain in the butt tho I got em on the side of the butt. He he.

o5. I hafta watch my food intake and go easy on the sweet stuff starting today. Had a blood test again yesterday and the glucose level is normal bordering to high. Since I just had my lunch like 15 mins before the test, the doc mentioned that I shouldn't be alarmed. Tapi as usual, saya adelah takot juga. So no more iced lemon tea for lunch, chocolate for tea time and the sort. Haih. Sungguh kesedihan, chocolate saya masih ade 2 kotak. Mungkin I could still take a bar of em each week instead of the normal 2.

o6. Had a semi-successful shopping spree. We didn't manage to get the big stuff, yet. *sighs*

o7. Bought a huge container so we'd be able to store all the baby clothes and whatnot - that are going to be transported and used when I'm in Kedah. Yea, I'm too lazy for luggage, lagi bagus simpan dalam kotak. he he.

o8. We finally joined the macik-macik-yang-sibuk-mengangkut-diapers-during-sale wagon. Whilst in the midst of our jalan-jalan in Midv after a heavy lunch at the Chillis, we couldn't help but noticed the amount of parents who walked around with shopping carts filled with diapers. Long story short, we ended up with 2 packs of Momy Poko. he he.

09. Finally managed to wash the baby clothes in 3 batches - light colors, dark colors & towel/blankets - yes I'm OCD just like that. Owh, I am so in love with Nappikleen - it reminded me of the sweet smelling babies. Sniff sniff.

10. The generous bonus came in right on time, together with the promotion. Alhamdulillah. More money for the baby & us! Rezeki anak, yes? :)

11. C***'s such a sweetheart. He made us awesome fried rice for dinner last night(yer, diet yang gagal) since I was too tired to stand up after a long day at the mall. Yea, his nasik goreng never never fails to impress me.Sodap. he he.

12. We didn't get any printout of the lil precious (again) last week. She was asleep - with the lil hands covering her face as usual - we just got a blurry glimpse of her face and the side of her nose. Yang tak usualnya, we actually saw her kaki somewhere in front of her face. The doc went "Dear, anak you tengah buat senaman acrobatic". We (me & C***) were sorta puzzled at 1st. Like "Normal ke kaki bleh twist2 sampai ke depan muka gitu?" but the doc told us it's normal. Babies in the womb memang suka buat aksi sarkis. So yea, whatever makes you happy baby.

That's about it, I can't wait for Friday to come - a wonderful beach vacation, here we come!

Tata.

Yea, my last post was about being lazy to write and I'm doing it again.

Perhaps it's the hormone. Sungguh malas yang tak dapat ditolong.

So let's be random for a bit.

o1. Our trip up North was a blissful one. Ate a lot. Had a so called exotic food fiesta. Weird looking ketam, siput sedut & quail all in 2 days.(Yes, saya makan semua benda, am not much of a choosy eater). I even got 2 boxes of the craved chocolates - all I need to do now is to refrain myself from munching on em everyday. Yer, kesihatan harus dijaga.

o2. Our KL - Kedah drive actually took us 3 freaking hours and we didn't even realize it, until Dad was like "Eh, awal sampai?" Errr..yea, surprise surprise. he he. (Note to C***, sila drive secara kura-kura next time walaupon your big car adelah tidak bergegar-gegar like mine whilst driving high speed).

o3. I managed to stay awake during those trips and kept C*** company. Sungguh magical - since I'm the ever-so-tired si buncit these days, balik Malacca yang sejam lebih pon terlelap.

o4. We're going for our 32 weeks checkup tomorrow. 8 weeks more to go. ha ha *gelak nervous* Seems like we're going to see the doc twice a month later on ey? Owh giddy.

o5. We're going for another session of baby shopping spree this weekend. MUST.GET.ALL.THE.BIG.STUFF.QUICK.

o6. MIL made 2 sets of bantal kekabu and a cute tilam for the lil precious. Owh so cute and so empuk.

o7. We're going for our babymoon next month.(yey! I've been wanting to go somewhere for a short breakaway and when C*** mentioned about it, haruslah jump at the opportunity. Thanks love. :P ) The idea of staying at a resort with a private beach is simply idyllic tho I won't get to go to the spa as they don't offer pre-natal massage. Haih, lepak-lepak tepi pantai and later makan sotong goreng tepung pon ok lah. :P

08. I need a manicure & pedicure like asap. It's getting hard to clip on those toenails and C*** won't help - kerana dia adelah takot (and I don't wanna risk losing a toe.Cey, macam potong kuku guna parang je. hehe).

o9. We're going to wash all the baby clothes and stuff this weekend. Semoga berjaya dan tidak malas.

10. Yes, I need to pack the hospital bags.

That's about it.

Tata.

I hafta admit that I'm feeling pretty lazy to write these days.

What's new bout that eh?

Well, I'd like to think that we're sorta done with the shopping for the little precious. I mean, everything's covered except for the big stuff - stroller,carseat, baby cot & the Medela FS.

I reckon we'll get everything covered by mid April, InsyaAllah.

Yes, I still love the shopping sprees - but having to go for a wee wee every 30 minutes whilst roaming the mall is excruciating and a bit distracting.

Owh, all thanks to the fact that I've developed the habit to sip on something whilst shopping, tu la pasalnye asyik melawat cik tandas. Jalan sket dah dahaga, minum then wee wee. It's a vicious cycle. Tsk tsk.

Since we went back to Malacca last weekend, this weekend we're heading up North. Probably my last long trip back home before I pop. 2 hours drive balik Malacca pon adelah tak tertahan, I dare not to think how I'll be feeling throughout the 4-5 hours trip this weekend. Perhaps, all gonna be worth it once I got to spend some time with the family and stuff myself silly with mum's cooking. Ape lah yang nak di 'mengidamkan' this weekend? he he.

Apparently whatever that I crave for will be shoved into my face once I voiced it out. Told mum that I feel like having a box of chocolate( the exact one that dad bought for the little brother) , so today dad called to confirm my 'order'. he he.

It's not like I didn't get what I want before, tapi previously bila order chocolate A, there's a possibility that you'll get chocolate B instead. This time around, adelah 99% confirm akan dapat benda yang tepat. hi hi. Owh the joy of pregnancy (minus feeling like a nenek that is).

We're still on light-dinner routine. Last 2 days we had fish soup with toast and salad.(Going back to Malacca = a freezer full of fresh seafood). Last night we had a small portion of fried noodles, homemade chrysanthemum tea and cubed mangoes for dessert. he he. Adelah magical (& kesian) to see your other half makan tak bertambah, tapi no pain no gain, yes?

On a lighter note, nowadays we start our day with healthy breakfast too. he he. So far it's either milk and cereal or fruit jam/honey/ kaya/butter toast. Dunno lah if nanti rajin buat pancake pulak. he he. :D Sungguh bersemangat.

We gonna have a photo session for the new ID card tomorrow. What a perfect timing la kan? Now that I'm looking like a full moon, sekarang jugak la nak kena tukar ID card. (Yer lah,dulu-dulu pon bulan jugak,but not as full.hehe) Bleh.

We have, well, scratch that. C*** has a small mountain of laundry to fold. he he. Bila nak lipat darling? Ya know I don't do folding except for the small stuff - the lingerie, boxer shorts,handkerchief and socks - else it's all youuurs. Terima kasih. Iloveyou.

The PIL is coming over today. Marilah balik dengan pantas.

That's about it. :P

Ciou.

It has been a week since we started our light-dinner routine and I'm loving it. Pertama, saya adelah malas memasak these days, well, not memasak tapi mengemas.

Last night, it was egg & tuna sandwich for C***, sunny side up egg on a toast for me and a bowlful of mixed salad together with a pot of jasmine green tea for both of us to share. he he. Sungguh menjaga kesihatan bukan? Yes, we're getting there, kononnyer lah. :P

Some would think that it's ridiculous for me to be too conscious bout my diet these days - as many would say that being pregnant is like being in an eating-fiesta, makan lah banyak-banyak and nobody gonna blink an eye about it (Just now when I declined my colleague offer of chocolate, he gave me the "You kena makan banyak sikittt" lecture. Say what?).

I beg to differ lah kan, the eating-fiesta part is sorta true. I mean,ye lah, nowadays it's so convenience to go

"Darling, let's go out for chinese food tonight"

and you'll get nothing but a yes. Tapi when the baby's is out later and you're stuck with tonnes of fat & ya hafta keep on wearing the maternity clothes (& not the fancy tops), sila lah jangan emo.

Knowing myself, I wouldn't want that to happen. It's a huge motivation when ya mum is as slim as ever - even after 28 years of marriage jadi bagi yang baru kawen like few months ini, harus lah follow the foot steps.

Tak kira lah if I don't really look like my mum or not (kerana I'm my dad's daughter - with the possibilities of having the kecomelan genes from his side of the family. ha ha).

Be it the genes or whatnot - it doesn't mean that I hafta give up on hope aight? The hope to stick to my normal size that is. he he.

Oihh..don't get me wrong (Budak ni bercakap macam la dia super kurus, menjaga kesihatan, pegi gym 40 kali seminggu kan? :P ). I lovee good food and I crave for all those fatty-licious food like a whole blardy lot but moderation is the key (sebenarnye tak sanggup tengok progress kecomelan diri sendiri).

I want our baby to have one healthy (tho not so kurus) mummy.

Enough of konon-health-concious talk.

Have a great weekend.

Ciou.

Throughout my 31 weeks of pregnancy, I gained a whopping 8kg - which doesn't alarm anybody, not C***(he doesn't think that I'm fat, I'm just pregnant and buncit), moi parents , PIL nor the doc (as she thinks that I'm gaining weight based on the appropriate scale).

Yea, nobody's alarmed. Not even me. At least I don't really look like a donut (if ya meet me, do tell me that I don't look like one), my jeans still fit(well,some of em) and most of my tops are still wearable (whilst the button-down shirts are not) - minus the fact that most of my lovely shoes,flats etc are no longer wearable due to their...hmmpp... sorta-unsafe-for-pregnant-mommies nature.

So ya see, I'm not alarmed.

Okay, fine. I lied. I'm a wee bit alarmed lah. I mean, it's freaking 8kg (so far, showing or not), would I be able to lose that in...say..3 months? - especially those in my butt? ha ha.

I know that I'm not the skinny type to begin with (or should I say that I don't wanna be the skinny type to begin with), it's just that it would be great to be back to my normal-self soon. The small waist, not so small butt and all that.

Sekarang adelah macam, what waist lah? he he.

Well, in our household, it's not just me yang a bit freaked out bout weight, C*** recently boarded the train- all thanks to his barber who went "Abang, abang dah gemuk sikit, muka pon ada kembang". Hahahahaha.

I mean, it's not often for you to hear your other half whines about his weight and whatnot. Guys just don't do that, so when he did, adelah funny juga. he he.

Owh yes, darling. Blame the marriage, all the TLC will do that to you. Kegembiraan dan kadar perkembangan badan yang berganda.
So in the spirit of living a healthier lifestyle, we're trying to put a stop to heavy meals for dinner - which is great. he he. *cue a lazy wife smiling in the background*

Yes, no more balik-rumah-and-masak-nasik-and-lauk for me (unless there's a special request for it). Yes, I cook - as much as I don't look like the cooking type. I still do, berperut buncit or not - tho sometimes adelah malas and I'll drag C*** out for dinner or make us sandwiches instead.

Well, our mission to eat right started last week (on Thursday to be exact), we promised to stop the nasi-and-lauk routine so I prepared egg sandwiches and grilled mushroom sausages for us instead. Yea, not the most healthy dinner, but we're getting there. Tak boleh lah terus stop makan nasi and go for bird food kan? :P

Tonight I gonna make homemade mini pizza (with low fat mozzarella cheese of course) and salad for C***, whilst I'll be stuffing my face with cereals. Yes, cold milk + cereal = cinta.

Wish us luck. :D

Ciou.

I'm lovin it :)

There's a love and hate thing going on with me and moi current project.

It's like when I'm left with nothing to do (since there's no incident log/ change request for me to code), I'm like bored outta my mind (yea, keje makan gaji buta takde lah best sangat,bosan nak mati). Tapiii..when the incident logs finally come in, adelah rasa macam "Whadda, benda macam ni pon ade ke?".

Ya know, fixing ya own code is one thing, but having to fix the codes that are not yours to begin with, is another.It sucks to recode/fix something that's not yours as it's twice as hard - oleh itu sometimes it's better to recode everything compared to fixing. Daripada pening kepala nak analyze others' code and fix em which equals to keserabutan berganda (especially if it's a high priority fix which hafta be done ASAP), marilah buat code sendiri, it will spare you the unnecessary sakit jiwa.

I dunno lah, perhaps it's just me. For others, mungkin boleh fix any kind of codes yang tunggang langgang dengan sekelip mata.


Talking bout work. Well, it's not often for me to be this..hmpp..free. It's all due to my current condition - since the boss think that I should just stick with the existing projects and non of the new one (kerana if I'm dragged into a big project,it would be a hassle to do the handover and whatnot when I'm about to pop later).

Truth is, I'm aching to do something new. Ya know, new project, new system to code - that's exactly what I love about programming - it's all about going nuts figuring out the logic, how to code and whatnot - and at the end of the day adelah berjaya. he he. The satisfaction adelah tidak boleh diexplain dengan kata-kata. Ya, I'm a geek, I know. :P

Owh, we had our 30th week checkup last Tuesday. Everything is great. Alhamdulillah. Did the usual detail scanning (ya, the doc adelah baek hati, every checkup pon adelah buat details scan), we saw the baby's heart beating, the 4 chambers of the heart, the diaphragm, the yet to expend lugs, the stomach etc.

The doc even reconfirmed that our little precious gonna be a girl(yey!Kot tak daddy adelah botak dengan segera kerana hafta go for another round of clothes shopping). he he.

I gained like 2kg in a month. Yea, a total of 8 kg within 7 and a half month.(Okay, I can't complaint). The baby's already 1.5kg at 30th week, please grow nicely for mummy okeh?(Tapi...errr..not too big boleh ke?eheheh)

Owh, the doc did a quick blood test to check my glucose level and I'm doing fine in that department.

We didn't get any printout of her this time. :( Kesedihan. The baby was asleep and her face was covered by her hand and we could only see a blurry image of her face since she's hiding behind the placenta, itu pon nampak hidung jer. Aih, pagi-pagi bukan main tergedik-gedik, tengah scan tido sembunyi-sembunyi pulak. I'm going to give her a good pinch on the cheek once she's out.

I wonder how it feels like to have a mini us. Few weeks more to go, I can't wait (tapi adelah takot.ha ha).

C*** darling, marilah shopping lagi. :D Yes, I'll try to cook something with the new microwave grill oven this weekend. Pizza can ah?

Well, tata.
