It's my 2nd last day at work before the loong break. Shall finish up whichever necessary before the end of the day - which is memeningkan kepala juga.

Tomorrow gonna be a half day off for me, so I need to setup the auto-reply for the office mail and whatever not.

Tak sabar dah nak cuti oii. :P

So let's not talk about work, for the next 3 months that is. hehe.

Later tomorrow, we are up for another checkup. The doc gonna reveal the GBS test result (which is no big deal if you ask me as if I have it,it could be easily treated with antibiotic during labour) together with an assessment so we could roughly gauge the real EDD based on the baby positioning and whatnot.

Hope to get another nice print out of the lil precious whilst we're at it. I hafta admit that it's sorta heart-warming each time I could get my hands on those - rasa macam, owh this is all my months of suffering is all about (Please excuse the drama). Ya know, it's like a struggle toward a long term goal as at the end of it, you'll be rewarded with something.

In this case, I'll get a tiny human to call my own. he he.

So yea, to mark the start of my long break, I shall treat myself to a relaxing pre-natal massage & foot spa on Friday. Woot! Yea, I'm aching all over like a nenek and since I've reached full term (read: it's considered safe to give birth like anytime) so I shall not freak myself out with the nanti-pegi-berurut-terberanak-pre-mature-pulak dilemma anymore.

Ya, I finally found the guts to do it now as you could never be too careful, walaupon the spa clearly stated that it's safe for pregnant ladies and whatnot tapi since it's my 1st and I'm pretty much clueless bout everything. Harus lah berhati-hati juga. Yes?

On a lighter note, I think the baby is very responsive to the sound of my voice. I could simply go "Baby, why are you so awfully quiet today? Kick sikit" and few secs later, I'll get myself a hard kick in the ribs. ha ha. Pain is truly a pleasure at this point lah, it's somewhat comforting- macam owh you're doing well in there, bagus bagus. :P

To wrap up my last post before I'm off for the long break (yea, I might be very malas to update from today onwards), here's a pic of us (read: me, C*** and the lil precious in the tummy obviously) during our babymoon. :P


Till then, pray for us okie?

Tata.

Yea, I'm pretty much alive.

It's just that I've been truly caught up with tonnes of workload. Yea yea, just when ya thought that this mak buyong gonna be able to sit back and goyang kaki for a bit whilst waiting for herself to pop, tapi nampaknya tidak.

Yea, sungguh banyak kerja and it's not helping to have the other guy breathing down ya neck sambil bertanya " Are you finished?" sebanyak 40 kali satu hari.

Anyway, I'm waddling instead of walking these days and every fiber of my being just can't wait to start the looooong maternity leave - tho the idea of labour and whatnot scares the hell outta me. On 2nd thought, I'll get to squeeze (the cheeks) of the little precious for real in the next few weeks so the idea of squeezing a tiny human outta yourself is not so bad after all. he he.

Owh, that's the little precious at 36 weeks and everything's dandy. Alhamdulillah. She's approximately 2.6kg and I gained 1kg in a month - a total of whopping 9kg of weight gain so far.

The baby gonna be a full term baby by the end of the week otherwise means that she could finally say bye-bye to the womb and hellooo world if she wants to.

My next checkup gonna be sometime next week and I'm sooo gonna beg for my much needed MC. Yea, I can't stand the long drive anymore. I just can't. Penat oih.

Owh, during my last checkup(which was last week), the doc took a vaginal swap so I could be tested for GBS - which was hmmmppp...super embarrassing. ha ha. It's like "how am I supposed to react? Kena buat muka malu-malu ke buat biasa je?". Yea, I'm just being my complicated-self. Thank God the doc adelah baek hati ala-ala ibu mithali else I would have faint from embarrassment. Pain? I don't think there was any, kot ada pon, I would be too terkulat-kulat kerana malu to notice. :P

That's about it.

I'm hoping for the best. InsyaAllah.

Pray for us, will ya?

C*** came back home yesterday after a day of work trip. Yer sehari, tapi I've come to detest being home alone. So sehari adelah setahun. ha ha. :P

I know I've said this before, tapi driving to work is killing me. Senak, semput, ya name it. I got it - so I'm sorta determine to beg for MC during my 37 weeks checkup next week. It gonna be a bad news for the other guy I'm working with lah, kerana just earlier this week, I've been dragged into an urgent project - which due to the urgency, haruslah drag 2 senior programmers - tho one of em adelah dah nak terberanak (read: it's yours truly). Owh well, as much as I love my job, I'm putting myself 1st these days.

We're done (I think) with the baby stuff over the weekend - it helped to have an other half with eyes for the details together with his "Dear,awak suka yang ni? Okay, kita bungkus." attitude. Macam beli roti canai ke ape.

Anyway, after much contemplating on my side, we finally got ourselves, err..the baby I mean - the stroller, carseat and a cute BabyBjorn in RED (okay, ni mak budak yang beria nak beli, both of my babies (read:C*** and the baby) gonna look owh so cute wearing em.he he.).

Talking bout stroller,previously we were torn between Graco and McLaren strollers, but we ended up with Peg Preego instead. he he. Sungguh terbabas dari list. Well,it's just us, being our spontaneous-self, but we still went for the Ferrari carseat that we aimed for. Thanks darling. Kiss kiss.

Bought myself a Medela Swing to be used during my 3 months off from work then we'll see how lah. If I'm still feeling generous, we might go for FS, else jadi cheapskate guna swing dah lah. It's the effort that matters.

Dad is coming over this weekend for a meeting later next week - with a gift, for me! Alhamdulillah. It seems like I don't have to dig my own moolah for a new cellphone now - tho it's not exactly what I want as I'm not really into the whole BB craze.Tapiii...rezeki jangan ditolak, yes?

My a-gift-to-myself aka the new-ride project is gonna be a bit delayed. Perhaps we'll go for it once I'm done with the makeover for my 4WD - he needs a new paint job and whatnot, lepas dah chantek-chantek and ready to be posted back to Kedah to its rightful owner, baru lah we'll go for the new ride - hopefully after I'm done with the confinement and before I'm back to work in August. One step at a time.

This gonna sound a bit cheesy. Tho I'm a bit nervous about the whole labor thing. I just can't wait to hold the baby in my arms. he he. Yea, last night when I'm all alone whilst waiting for C*** to come home, I was like "why lah baby you are still in the tummy, kan best if you're out already, at least we could sit down together and watch tv". Yea, I was sitting on the couch whilst talking and patting my own tummy. It's a wee bit crazy,I know. On 2nd thought, tunggu lah full term dulu, then sila lah keluar dengan pantas. he he.

I'm going to get a tax refund since I've been overcharged.he he. (Thanks Maksu for the head-up.) Having to pay the income-tax adelah membuatkan saya merasa sungguh grown up.

That's about it. I'm going to make myself a super cheesy omelet for dinner tonite. Nyum!

Want some?

It's funny bout how some people are willing to do everything (humanly possible) to mess with others life.

I mean, even if you couldn't find the justification to your miserable pathetic life sekali pon, it's not a ticket for you to ruin others.

Tell ya what? I'm so sorry that it sucks to be you, but kindly get a life and stop being such an ass for a change.

Just so ya know,God is fair.

Owh, have a great weekend.

My usual 40 mins drive back home from work was elongated to 90 minutes yesterday.

At 35 weeks, the drive back home - especially those with complimentary traffic jams - adelah back-breaking and (literally) suffocating. Yea, it's not fun to drive, or should I say, being stuck in the midst of bumper to bumper traffic jam with semi-marshmallowy feet and a huge baby bump (which sometimes make it hard to breathe).

Sore feet + suffocation = bad mood.

More often that not, I'd lost all will to step into the kitchen once I'm home - hence the utter kemalasan untuk memasak.

So yesterday, I gave C*** a call 30 minutes before 8pm, to tell him that we should eat out, since I couldn't see myself getting back home before 8pm due to the bad traffic which equals to

balik after 8pm = I'll be too tired to cook

Not that I'm forced to, C*** wouldn't mind if we were to have cereal for dinner - tapi I take it as a responsibility to at least make something for dinner, nak eat out pon dah tatau apa nak makan.

Anyway,the other half gave a green light to my request - (he'll say yes to most of everything these days, urgh..except for chocolate, ice cream and sweet desserts. Belum ape-ape dah ade tukang menjaga pantang.).

So yea, I reached home 10 minutes past 8pm - opened the door - only to see C*** slaving away in the kitchen, making dinner.

Yes, my darling C**** is awesome. he he. He told me that he thought it would be better for him to cook so we don't have to rush out for dinner once I'm home - kerana it's obvious that saya adelah penat.

Yea, tho he's not much of the romantic kind, tapi kadang-kadang adelah sweet like chocolate juga. he he. Thanks love.

Hmpp..so darling, what's for dinner tonite?

Finally back to work after a looong weekend.

Our short babymoon trip's blissful. Thanks love.

Nice hotel, goood food and an awesome other half to be with - I simply couldn't ask for more. :)

We reached Kuantan around 3 and C*** brought me to this one particular Thai food restaurant with yummylicious food and the best iced lemon tea ever. ha ha. I kid you not, rasa macam sedap semacam.(Okay, maybe it's just me.) :P I was tempted to order for a 2nd glass but I didn't - since I'm watching my sugar intake.

Checked into the hotel, freshen up and off we went to the beach to soak up the sun for a bit. It was windy and the sun was on the mild side - oleh itu boleh lah bercanda di pasiran pantai segala. Had fun chasing the waves and collecting sea shells on the sea shore :P. Ombak adelah sedikit ganas so the hotel put up a red flag to remind the guests of em, tapi obviously dipantang enteng as some of em still bermandi manda dengan gembira.

We got back to our room for Maghrib and later headed to Tanjung Lumpur for seafood dinner. Well, thanks to our ketamakan, we ordered way too much for two tapi somehow adelah habis (tapi rasa macam nak muntah) and this one particular family sitting next to us gave us 'the look'.

Yea, it's just the 2 of us but we ordered a big fish, a big plateful of sotong goreng tepung (as fanatic as I am when it comes to squid, masa ini adelah rasa hendak muntah juga), chili lala and fried kailan - whilst the family of 4 next to us just shared a big fish and a plate of kerabu manga. Okay, we ate a lot, so? T_T

Moving on, C*** brought me to Teluk Chempedak which was a wee bit toooo crowded and boring for my liking, so after a quick jalan-jalan (sebab dah bayar parking, jalan-jalan lah jugak), we went back to the hotel, hang out at the lobby to check on my FB for a bit and balik tido.

The next day, we had a hearty breakfast. I had fun stuffing myself with freshly baked croissant as the kitchen staff was unloading a tray of em from a huge oven at the pastry and bread section. Yea, I have a soft spot for freshly baked stuff. Crispy on the outside and the buttery softness in the inside. Okay, the thought of it is making me hungry.

Right after the breakfast, we went for a morning walk at the beach (which C*** claimed is good for me, banyak berjalan = senang beranak). I know this gonna sound extremely cheesy but having the chance to spend careless time with each other is owh so romantic. he he. Like, seriously, and with a little us on the way, I don't know when is our next romantic trip gonna be.

Agak-agak kalau pegi babymoon lagi sekali sempat ke? ha ha.Dah jalan macam penguin pon still ada hati. :P

We checked out by 12, went for a bit of unexpected shopping spree. C*** got himself a Timberland shoes for work, size 11 okeh? hehehehehe. Besaq sungguh kaki chek. No darling, I'm not teasing, just a bit amazed. :P

Me on the other hand, found the perfect diaper bag. It's not really a diaper bag lah, it's just an oversized Guess handbag which was on sale and since it's not really a gurlish looking bag to begin with - as it's made from the canvas-like material - it won't look awkward if C*** need to help to carry em later on, jadi harus lah beli.

Yea, I'm against male spouse yang berbaek hati membawak handbag their other half for no apparent reason. Dunno lah if they are trying to be the super gentlemen,super bodek or whatnot. On 2nd thought, even if the female handbag is as heavy as lesung batu, it's her own doing, so just let her carry her own load will ya? Kalau takde sebab yang relevan,tak payah lah nak tunjuk baek nak tolong. It's just too gay. :P

Our short trip ended as we reached KL sometime around 6, tapau the yummo yong tau foo
( we waited for almost an hour for it, tsk tsk) for dinner and the rest is history.

Kegumbiraan yang diiringi penat dan mengantuk.

The next day was a different story altogether as we had a kenduri to attend.

Owh, I took tonnes of pics (mainly of moi feet and C***) and C*** took tonnes of pic (mainly of me). he he. Will upload em later, kalau rajin. :P

Have a great week.
