A lot has happened in 2 weeks and I'm still digesting bits and pieces of everything.

On 8th January, a beloved uncle, the father of my dearest cousin passed away. It came to me as a gigantic shock, as the last time I met him. He was very much alive and talking. No thanks to my childish inner-self, I always hope that grandparents, parents, uncles and aunt will stick around to watch all of us grow, have a family on our own and kids to nurture.

Yes, way too childish for my own good.

But, jodoh, ajal and maut di tangan Tuhan no? To Allah we belong and to Him we return. God knows when it's our turn.

Truthfully, I feel awful. I can't simply say I know how it feels, it would be a lie and I'm not the one to go for corny dramatic words. It's just ill-fitting. I just can't say things for the sake of saying.

So dear cousin, I'm honestly sorry for the lack of better words, I suck in the comforting department, but I hope that the whole family would be able to pull through the pain and continue living.

Al-Fatihah.

We were watching 360 last night - which loaded with those missing kids stories and the horrifying tragedy behind em.

I hafta admit that I was squirming restlessly whilst watching it when chenta hati went

"So nanti, when both of us at work. Who gonna pick up our kid from school? Nanti whilst waiting for us to come back from work, dia nak duduk mana pulak?"


"Dear, that's like too much of forward thinking, tu at least 6 years lagi. Let's not go there yet"


"Ya know, I'm just wondering"


"Well, within that 6 years, if you could earn enough for me to stop working, then I'll be a SAHM lah, okay?"


"Hmppp.."

He he. Apekah chenta hati begitu maju kehadapan? :P

Well, now I'm beginning to doubt my SAHM idea. I mean, even if C*** does earns enough dough for me to stop working (which I have no doubt of) and stay at home and be pretty taking care of the kids, I sorta doubt that I will.

The real definition of enough for me is when we're able to live with financial freedom,he he. Bukan cukup-cukup makan.(Sekarang terlebih makan sebab it's just the two of us, dah tiga nanti mungkin cukup-cukup.)Yer, saya memang vain, but we ain't working our ass off for nothing kan?

Making sacrifices biarlah yang berpada, I wouldn't want to do something that I'll regret later. Especially since the price of everything's hiking up like every freaking month tapi the paycheque adelah sometimes stagnant or going up at the speed of a siput.

I want us be able to spend time with the family whilst providing the best for em.

Yea, sounding a wee bit selfish over here, but ya see, I love what I'm doing unless lah I turned into an OCD mummy later - the one who couldn't bear being away from the kids and think others but myself are doing a sucky job in taking care of em. he he.

Maybe masa tu boleh jadi SAHM whilst doing a freelance job, online business jual tempe ke ape.

Until then, I'll stick with my job and do what I know best. Fret not, when the time comes, Allah will show us the way.

Yes?

I've been worried sick since last night.

Why?

Kerana since last night I couldn't feel any fetal movement, but being me - it's sorta expected as I freaked out a whole blardy lot. Tsk tsk. I'm way too paranoid for my own good (but gimme a break la kan, it's my 1st time.)

So yea, all is well now. Alhamdulillah. This morning after a mug of horlicks and biscuits, the baby is kicking and jumping around like nobody's business. Mungkin dia overdose makanan semalam, as I actually had a foot long Subway's subway melt and a plate of sizzling noodles shared with C***- I initially wanted to eat Subway's tapi chenta hati gatal mulut pegi menyebut sizzling noodles which sounded equally tempting, so we had both.

Yea, we ate a lot, I ate a lot - tho I wasn't that hungry to begin with. Nafsu semata-mata.

He he. Fret not, I'm still watching what I eat, there's no such thing as eating for two for me, kerana later, there's no such thing as the-misery-of-losing-weight-for-two either,saya yang kena menangung sorang-sorang. So yea, let's eat healthily walaupon sometimes terbabas. :P

So let's ramble about the 3rd checkup for a bit.

Well, our 3rd checkup marked the start of our long weekend as it was scheduled on Thursday at 3pm.

Went in to see the doc and went through the usual test(I only gained like 1kg yey! Compared to 300g last time. he he.Tapi kenapakah I feel heavy?). After the series of the usual stuff, we proceed with the ultrasound - for another peek of the lil precious. The doc did the normal measuring of the head, the length of the femur( and whatnot) and let us listen to the heartbeat.

The baby's approximately 500g now. Growing steadily and healthily. Alhamdulillah. I hope everything stays that way.


Owh yes, we're almost 100% sure of the gender now, but let's not let it out in the open just yet. he he.

On a lighter note, I think I should write something bout placenta previa(Placenta previa what? Google it!) as I was diagnosed with it during my 2nd checkup(which freaked the hell outta me). I was being told to watch for any sort of bleeding and it was scary - tho the doc did tell me that it's sorta normal to have a low lying placenta during the early pregnancy as most of the time the problem will cure itself - as the placenta will be 'dragged' upward together with the baby as the baby grows and the uterus expends - TAPI haruslah takot okeh, since if it stays that way, there's no way on earth for the mother to go for a normal birth.

Sooo..my condition did cure itself as the placenta is already moving upward and in a normal position. Alhamdulillah. God knows how worried I was over this. C*** had to remind me everyday not to worry too much. Tsk tsk.

Yea, this whole pregnancy thing is truly exhilarating and distressing all at the same time.

Well, the doc gave us another image of the lil precious for keepsake. I hafta say the baby's looking more human this time around - the big head is already gone and the limbs are all nicely proportioned. We could even see the cute nose by now.(Adelah orang tu cakap the baby got the nose from me. My nose is okie what? hehe)

I'll post the picture later, now I'm a bit too lazy for that.

Lunch's time over, it's time to eat some ubat.

Tata.

Here I am at work - whilst C***'s at home relaxing away - as the entire kilang got a day off aka cuti-untuk-menghantar-anak-ke-sekolah kerana today's the 1st day of school for the kiddies.

Ini tidak adil!

Moving on.

Well,I'm sorta late to conclude my 2010 - but it has been a blissful year for me so I'm still going to ramble about it.


o1. I spent 6 long months as someone's fiance and survived the whole cobaan-semasa-bertunang and the dreadful bridezilla phase. I remembered how I was mostly in my let's-get-it-over-it mode, penat saya dok meroyan selalu.

o2. Whilst going nuts over the wedding preparation, I was blessed with another handsome increment in the salary - which helped to ease the craziness for a bit.


03. I started a new life as a Mrs by Jun 25th, for the 1st few days, I was totally in daze. Like, God, I'm married? - but married life has been truly wonderful for me so far - except for one brief period when a psycho came knocking on our marriage just a few days after our reception(hoh, the drama), like yea, if you ask me, I'd kill to get rid of those pest for good(but of coz I didn't, kot tak I'd be in prison by now). Yea who would have thought it could be that dramatic? He he. I could ramble bout this for days, but let's not go there, the psycho can die a slow painful death for all I care.


o4. We got pregnant approximately 1 month after the wedding. It's sorta fast, I know - but I'm externally thankful for the rezeki. I mean, it's not like we're planning not to turn three within a few years or whatnot and it's good to know that we're normal enough to conceive - this bit has been bugging me for years, seriously( manusia yang tidak mengamalkan pemakanan dan gaya hidup yang sihat dengan bersenam memang suka paranoid. he he).

05. Went through my 1st Ramadhan and EID as a wife - which was sorta different in a way but wonderful all the same.


o6. I came to realize that juggling between work and marriage is sorta tough - like yea, programming codes and house chores just don't click together - so I'm determined to excel in both and am forever thankful for the ever-so-understanding other half.

o7. Received another great news from the boss in Dec - of another increment and a long awaited promotion in 2011. Alhamdulillah, the rezeki gonna come.

o8. Feel like I've lost a good friend for some kind of reason. Not something I'm proud of, but when a good friend couldn't find the guts to spill his/her dissatisfaction on your face after all those shared blood, sweat and tears , perhaps that's the end of it. I'd go a thousand miles for the sake of friendship, but I guess it's a bit too naive to expect for the same.

So that's about it, the sharable bits. I've been someone's fiance in the 1st half of 2010. C***'s wife and a mummy-to-be in the next half. It's one hell of a journey - be it career-wise or personally. Alhamdulillah.

This year,

I resolve to be a better wife, daughter, sister and muslimah.

I resolve to try not to whine too much.(Bolehkah?)

I resolve to learn more about programming - as much as my 26 years old brain can handles. (Ini adelah punca rezeki, haruslah terus maju kehadapan).

I resolve to get myself a new ride - which probably sometime in the 2nd half of the year as a gift to myself(tapi kalau C*** nak support boleh jugeeee.he he).

& I can't wait for us to turn three - having a mini us just a month before the 1st anniversary would be perfect. :)

So here's to another great year in 2011, InsyaAllah.

p/s: Will write about our 3rd checkup later. :P

Going back to work after a long weekend adelah malas and I'm still sorta tired from the long trip - this whole pregnancy thing makes me feel like a nenek, belum apa-apa dah sakit pinggang. Owh well, anything for you precious.

So let's be random for a bit

o1. Thanks to moi lil bro, I got to eat mum's curry puff(Thank you mummy! I love youuu.Sedaappp, sampai makan sambil duduk dlm bilik.ha ha) together with kueh lopes. Yea, apparently the lil brother is one of my not-so-mysterious stalkers - so he told mum *gasp* bout my craving(I decided not to call mum and tell her bout my karipap craving, super mengada la nak order memacam) and my blog. So yea, nantikan tulisan-tulisan yang berbaur kesopanan dan kesusilan sahaja di masa hadapan(not!). :P

o2. Went for a round of steamboat dinner on Saturday with the family which came together with a fire show - as in the was a gas leakage on the portable stove lalu kebabom mengeluarkan fire. It was terrifying to see some of the staff in charge yang cuba melakukan aksi meniup api as if the fire adelah birthday candles. Yey them for such a 'smart' act. I hafta say that they are not well trained for such incident, gelabah ayam lebih tho eventually someone finally got some sense blown into him and was reminded of something called fire extinguisher. Like, yea, finally.

Tsk tsk. Owh, dad was sorta unhappy about it, knowing my dad, I could tell lah(walaupon externally adelah senyum-senyum and cracking jokes) - after all it happened in one of those hotels under his corp.

o3. Went to a wedding on Sunday and came back home only to be told that moi uncle was admitted to the hospital due to Leptospirosis so we headed to Alor Setar for a visit. As we went in to see him, he talked as he normally does tho his breathing seems sorta labored. Today, he's in a stable condition tho he still needs to be monitored and I wish him a speedy recovery - as looking at your close relatives yang sakit adelah kesedihan. Please pray for him okay?

o4. Got myself a haircut on Monday, went out around 11 together with C*** and he had to wait for an hour for me. he he. Previously the hair was too long for my liking and now it's a wee bit too short! Haih, never mind. Hair grows.

o5. Headed back to KL around 6pm yesterday after visiting moi grandparents. Yan is looking well and still as good humored as ever. Tok didn't let us leave before eating a plateful of kueh lompang and she even gave me a jarful of home-made instant kuah kacang which would be wonderful with cucur udang. Haih, terharu macam nak nangis jugak.

o6. Adik tagged along during our trip back to KL. He's going for a week long road trip together with his university buddies. I dropped him off to the nearest train station earlier this morning after a quick breakfast as he's heading to Seremban to his best friend's place before driving to Malacca and JB later. Jalan elok-elok nooo, jangan dok syok sangat.


o7. I feel like eating Subway's steak & cheese sandwich. Hmppp..

o8. Our next checkup gonna be on the 30th(which is like a week late due to our work constraints and whatnot). Honestly, I just can't wait to have another peek at our lil precious as I've been having the fluttery feeling(as if something is bouncing around and tugging at your tummy) for quite sometime now - which is rather subtle(so C*** can't see/feel it yet) but then again,powerful enough for me to notice. Cepat-cepat la besaq okay cek.

09. I'm tired, I need more sleeeep.

That's about it. Have a great week.

It has been 3 days since C*** left for his work trip. Sob sob.

It has been 3 days since I decided to turn on my workaholic-mode - hence the 9.30am -8pm office hour - the workload helped to ease the boredom and loneliness a bit. Takde lah balik rumah awal and meroyan sebab home alone. he he. Given my circumstances, benda kecik-kecik pon rasa macam nak buat aksi drama. :P

So yea, for the past few days, I would reach home feeling tired which equals to lesser time for me to mob around the house feeling sorry for myself before bedtime.

It's funny really, funny bout how I couldn't be bothered bout the whole being-home-alone thing before, sekarang, upon receiving the news that C*** gonna be off somewhere for a few days broke my heart a little. ha ha. Emosi yang tak tahan. Apekah tulis ni pon rasa nak nangis? Yea, I can't believe myself sometime.

Owh well, if you ask me, this whole sadness thing is just absurd. Macam la kena tinggai sebulan(if sebulan or berbulan-bulan, ikot please? he he), and it has been quite sometime that C*** managed to excuse himself from being away for such work trip(whilst using me as an excuse la kan?). Tho C***'s around pon, it's not like I'd cling to him like a baby monkey ke ape. It's just that having him around make me feel safe, happy even(kalau dah start rasa tak happy tu, it would be another story. he he).

Yea, the sort of happiness that only the other half could bring. Happiness of a different kind, but crucial for survival - my survival at least.

Enough of whining, he'll be back tonite, so yey! :D (Yea, there's a reason why I didn't whine about him not being around earlier, nanti bertambah sedih. ha ha)

Let's ramble bout my cravings for a bit.

Yea, tho my cravings are easy, tapi it won't be as easy when you're fussy.

I mean, I've been wanting to eat karipap for weeks now but most of those store-bought variety adelah bleh. The filling is either too mediocre for my liking, the pastry is either too thin, not crispy enough or the karipap itu too hollow or worse, dibuat menggunakan the curry puff mould - sungguh la tak authentic.

I want my mum's curry puff, the delicate handmade puff stuffed with tonnes of potatoes and beef(the more beef, the better). Owh..*salivates*

Better call up my mum and tell her to ditch the kueh lopes, nak karipap lah this weekend. (Yea, this craving baby told her mummy that she wants kueh lopes earlier, tetiba teringat her mum's karipap adelah lebih sedap. he he)

On a lighter note, a dear colleagues bought a pack of karipap pusing for me this morning. Sob sob. Terharu.

That's about it. I hafta go for another round of stress test later this afternoon. Hope I could make it home before C***.

Tata.

How's the weekend? Mine was a lazy and blissful one. he he.

It started off with a fun sight-seeing on Friday's night.

We went for a kenduri on Friday's night and whilst we're on our way back home, C*** suddenly went

"I don't feel like going home yet."

"Me neither."

"Jom jalan-jalan!"

Well, the good thing about being married, you could just nod your agreement without thinking when the other half's about to drag you for a jalan-jalan when it's already 30 minutes before midnite. he he. The sweet freedom.

Where did we go? The Ampang look-out point! :P

It's my 1st time(tho it's just like few mins from our place) and I hafta say the road adelah sorta spooky - not exactly my kinda place to go for a date, dah kawin lain cerita, pi mana pon saya ikot.

It was drizzling when we were driving up to the look-out point so we didn't expect the place to be crowded, but boy, we're wrong.

It was crowded and I hafta say that looking at all those cars lined up along the street, adelah membuatkan seseorang itu merasa fishy. Since most of the hot spots along the street were taken, we decided to park our car on the other side of the road which still allows us to have a good view of the city (& thank God we brought my 4wd instead of C***'s lowered mpv, kot tak memang nampak keta sebelah je lah. he he).

Owh, something funny happened.

Since we parked our ride across the hot spots of look-out point, we're actually parked next to this one particular car lah(tho bukan lah sebelah menyebelah,as the car was on the other side of the road, but then again, still close enough for you to see the passengers) and in order to enjoy the scenery, it would look like we're staring at the car as the car was directly in front of us, geddit?

Well, there was this young couple in it and we reckoned that they were doing something fishy, kerana adelah few times the guy was looking at us dengan muka tak puas ati - as if a way of saying "Apehal kau park keta sebelah aku ni?", padahal we had no intention to spy on them pon.

Ya know how people always feel that they are being watched when they are guilty? Rasa macam everyone is looking at you, tapi sebenarnya perasaan semata-mata. I think the same goes for the couple kot. he he. Tu la, lain kali, get a room or get married. :P

Well,we stayed long enough to see KLCC turned off its lights and whatnot and later drove back home to watch tv.

The next day, I cooked for lunch(yea, curry again as requested by C***),changed the bedsheet and quilt cover, washed the laundry, watched a Hindi movie(with C***, sejak bila dia layan hindustan pon cek tak tau laaa) and later decided to go out for a movie after Maghrib.

Let me tell ya that it has been ages since the last movie, so we headed to the nearest TGV only to find out all the movies available adelah bosan. So we walked around for a bit and the mak buyung later dragged C*** to the Cold Storage and made him pay for tubs of Ben & Jerry's and later headed to Subway for dinner(kerana tergoda dengan the smell of the freshly baked bread).

So we had a foot-long sandwich and a tub of Ben & Jerry's for dinner at 10pm. Mana lah tak comel jadinya.

Our Sunday was more or less the same, it's just that we went out sometime after Asar to stock up on yogurt drinks, fruits and get ourselves a new jar rice cooker - since the one that we bought earlier was a tad too big for two of us(bila masak nasi adelah rasa kesian sebab macam sikit sangat, then kerak jer berlebih kerana luas permukaan yang besar :P), so we decided to get a smaller one.

That's about it. We are yet to go on a shopping spree kerana malas(beli periuk nasi adelah tidak dikira sebagai shopping). I sorta detest the idea of going out to crowded places these days(walaupon ade sedikit craving nak Ikea's meatballs, told ya my cravings are easy).

Can't wait for the weekend as we're heading up for a wedding in Taiping and later spend a long weekend in Kedah. Woot! Lamanya tak balik, homesick homesick.

Have a great week people.

Ciou.

Yea, I should be punished for not updating, or maybe not.

Well, I've been having a wee bit of stress-test induced stress.(Confuse much?)

He he. It's just that I'm having a hard time with the stress test. Too much monitoring, tuning and after-working-hours stuff to be done. It's very tiring, yes. But what choice do I have?

Owh well, let's not whine too much when you've been showered with good news. he he. Good news what?

o1. I'm getting the 90 days maternity leave which equals to more bonding time with the family. Yey to the beloved company. he he. Let's see if the semi-workaholic me could stand the 3 months off from programming. Mungkin boleh dilakukan dengan mudah. he he. I'm such a genius when it comes to sit around doing nothing sometimes.

o2. The Boss came in for our appraisals today and brought along a very very good news for moi. Insyaallah, I'll get my long-awaited promotion this year(2 years and a half adalah a long wait. I was considered 'new' last year), together with another handsome increment. Alhamdulillah. More rezeki for us and the lil precious. :D

Gosh.Does it mean that I'll finally get to own a new ride next year? he he. Cey, lum ape-ape, but yea, I've talked about it with C***, he's still sorta firm with his idea that I should get a compact car and nothing else - kerana now we already owned an mpv, a compact car and a small 4wd - so if I got myself a sedan or the sort, his big car gonna be neglected big time. Sekarang pon we only take it for a spin during the weekends and long trips back to our hometowns - most of the time kereta besaq itu adelah menjadi tukun di basement parking, kesian. he he.

Which car gonna be replaced? Not the mpv, and absolutely not the compact car(it's C***'s so called experimental car) - which left us with the 4wd. Yup, 4wd gonna be replaced. Replace ke? Since it's not really mine on papers to begin with.

The truth is,I never paid a dime for it(the loan I mean which I'm not proud of) except for the scheduled maintenance(sendiri pakai sendiri maintain okie?), the accident related stuff(yea yea, takkan nak suh ayah bayar jugak yer dak?) and road tax and insurance(itu pon sekali jer. Sungguh keji).

Well, the car's a gift from moi dad(which explains why I paid almost nothing for it) and we're planning to send it back to Kedah if I ever get myself a new ride. Nak jual sayang. It has been goood to me so far(except for minor stuff here and there lah dan aksi terjun masuk longkang yang dilakukan oleh adek terchenta).

So yea, what to buy? What to buy? I won't go for something extraordinarily lavish as it's just a car for me to drive myself to work and back(which is like 45km everyday,dekat ya amat) and perhaps run some errands but nothing more than that. Takkan Golf gti kot? ha ha. I wish. I'd absolutely get it bila dah terlebih duit, now that we're having a mini us, priority changes.(Terasa sungguh grown up, no kidding.I've stopped salivating over designer handbags since I'm pregnant, is that a good sign or what? he he)

Owh,on a lighter note. Please stop telling me to get a myvi. Tsk tsk. (Pesanan ini ditujukan kepada moi family terchenta). Yes, I know darling C*** works for the automotive company which produces that particular ride and it would be easy peasy(& cheap) to maintain it later since C***'s an expert. Tapi apekah? Sungguh lah tidak berkembang maju. he he.

Nevermind, we'll figure it out later, for now let's just be thankful for everything. :)

Owh yes, here are the images of the lil precious as promised(sorry la for the delay bebeh).

If there's one thing that I hafta admit is the fact that I (used) to be ignorance bout how to cook curry.

I mean, it's not something that you eat like everyday kan? UNLESS you're a big fan of nasi kandaq or the sort, then yea, that's another story.

Well, sometime during the weekend, I opened the door to moi freezer in search of stuff to cook for lunch. I noticed this huge head of ikan bawal staring longingly at me - whilst screaming (not literally else I'll run out of the kitchen and swear not to cook for a month, he he)

"Take me! Take me! Masak laaa saya, masakkk laa".

I stared back at it while mouthing

"Errr..nak masak apa? Goreng ka? You'll be good for a fish head curry, but I dunno how to make gulai you see?"

(Yes, I talked to the imaginary soul of the ikan bawal's head)

Not to disappoint the (head of) ikan bawal or moi-self(for being hopeless in the curry department), I called mummy for help. he he.

Mum, being my wonderful mum, was delighted to shed some light on the recipe, instructions and whatnot, BUT(yes, there's a but) not before giving me the usual tu-la-mama-selalu-dok-masak-dulu-but-you-never-bothered-to-watch-and-learn talk.

Aiseh, who would have thought that I'll marry someone who would actually bought a huge fish head kan? Alasan. he he.

So yea, there I was. In the kitchen at.9.30am, on the phone with moi mummy talking about how to masak gulai. he he.

Owh, what happened next? Well, with all the courage that I could muster I actually did it - much to C***'s amusement as he directly came to kitchen and went "I thought you don't do curry" upon looking at the dish on the top of the stove.

Cey, don't be little me okie? Tho yes, It's my 1st time but I'm not that hopeless in cooking so masih la boleh execute the instructions and whatnot. he he. Yes, the curry turned out to be good (ini adelah kenyataan from C***, I took the compliment seriously kerana nak dapat puji adelah susah okay? Tho he'd eat most of everything.) Mummy, aren't you proud of me?

Still on the subject, apparently C***'s not the only one being amused by my sudden will to learn how to cook curry as dad called up last night and the 1st thing he asked

"Soo..mum told me baby masak gulai,jadi ka masak gulai? ha ha ha"

(Yes, apparently mum told the whole kampung about it. tsk tsk. Yes, my dad still calls me baby - walaupon dah tua bangka, but hey I'm his 1st baby. he he.)

"Jadiiiii..."


"Nanti balik boleh masak untuk ayah pulak"


"Boleh-boleh, no problem. Dah terer skrang. he he"


"Baguih baguih....nanti boleh try recipe yada yada yada"

Yes, apart from the compliment, moi dad actually showered me with 1001 recipes. Yes, tho mum is the master chef of the house, dad's an awesome cook too. I always love his cooking, kerana tho most of it seems like a spontaneous recipes, tapi adelah sodap(but the spontaneous part makes it hard to copy his cooking, ish ish).

Yea, that's about it. My successful mission, which I'm sorta proud of since I'm not big in cooking when it involves coconut milk - since if you didn't do it right, it's just plain sucky.

Yea, go on, laugh at me.

At least sekarang dah terer masak kari. La la la la...

Yes. The blog is dying from lack of updates. So here's something brief(&random) to revive it a bit. he he. :P

o1. Apart from the occasional all-day-sickness, I'm pretty much energetic these days tho I still couldn't eat much else akan mengundang muntah. Teeheee..

o2. We just replenished our fridge with abundant stock of fishes and fruits. Perhaps it's a cue for me to cook more often(now that I'm feeling less nauseous). Owh, I'm crazy bout mango and cherry now. Thank God both of em are in season.

o3. Had a fattening lunch of Lamb Mandy & beef samosa at Al-Rawsha on Tuesday. The foods are good but then again I just took my share from C***'s as I'm not a big fan of lamb when it doesn't come with mint sauce. he he.

04. I reckon that someone in my condo block is pregnant as I could hear her puking her guts out everyday. Well, I could truly understand the puking part, tapi mengapakah bunyinya kedengaran begitu amplified dan menakotkan? Tsk tsk. The sound of her puking adelah membuatkan saya yang berada di dalam keadaan normal menjadi kembang tekak.

o5. Our next checkup gonna be in Ampang Puteri instead of Pusrawi. Our beloved gyne decided to berhijrah for some reasons and we're following her - which is not really a bad idea since Ampang Puteri is just like 7 mins away from our place.

o6.I need a haircut. The last time was like zillions years ago and the hair is way too long for my liking.

o7. C*** is extremely awesome these days(rasa macam dah sejuta kali ulang, annoyed much?). Last week he accompanied me to the office twice. He even drove me to my prod deployment on Friday's night and waited for 2 freaking hours for me to finish moi work. Thanks love. :D

o8. I'm still wearing my normal clothes since most of em still fit - tho some of the tops make me look boncit instead of pregnant.Hmpp..perhaps I should get one of those top with 'I'm not fat but pregnant' written on it.

o9. C*** bought pomegranates for me to stuff my face with but he doesn't fancy those lil juicy seeds. Good, more pomegranate goodness for me then. he he. Sungguh selfish.

10. Now that C*** is no longer forcing me to drink liters of milk each day(kerana the pregnancy just make it unbearable to drink fresh milk so we switched to yogurt/cheese/tofu), he's determined to make me take a spoonful of olive oil everyday. Sungguh menyelerakan. Not! Blurghhh!

11. I spent my lunch break on a shopping spree instead of stuffing my face with food(padahal perot dah berbunyi). I got myself 2 new tops without much deliberation since I'm dying to use the gift vouchers. Heh, I should have gotten myself a Dior eyeliner instead, tapi tadi otak adelah tidak dapat berfikir.

12. Gonna be out of the office again tomorrow for a stress test. Well, honestly I hate going out nowadays. Too much walking and driving around adelah penat.

That's about it. Gotta check on the newly configured UAT server.

p/s: Perhaps it's not too late to wish moi stalkers a Happy Maal Hijrah. :) Yea, I'm wishing for a better daughter, wife, sister, friend and muslimah in me.

o1. I'm currently in the office. Mind you, it's 9.40pm! Yes, I hafta brace through all the kemalasan in the world in order to submit moi annual appraisal online. No thanks to the fact that they shut down the internet url for that particular system so I hafta come over and do it at the office instead. Blurghh. Moi bonus better be good. Owh, fret now. I'm not alone, darling C*** is here with me. Later boleh pegi dating. he he.

o2. Yes, I'm in the midst of moi training this week. Hence the malas-ness to update. It's just wonderful to be able to reach home before 7pm these days. Heaven owh. Tapi the morning traffic that I hafta go through whilst heading to MV every morning is torture.

o3. Our 2nd checkup went smoothly.Alhamdulillah. Yes, we waited for hours still but after seeing the lil precious adelah kurang sikit kemarahan. Terubat lah kot sakit hati. Cey cey..he he. :P Will try to load the pics later. The baby's now as big as an avocado! Woot.

o4. My blood is low in iron, so I hafta take this big-ass pink pill everyday. Sungguh tak best.

o5. C*** is the best nasi goreng cook ever. he he. Like yea, he's awesome when it comes to nasi goreng. Nyum.

Tata :P

The boss approved my leave application in a blink - without any question being asked tho I just applied for em a day earlier. he he. Having an awesome boss is a great. Owh I love my job.

We had a big dinner last night to celebrate C***'s birthday. It was not fine dining since I got to choose what and where to eat(Aci tak? Orang lain punya besdey,orang lain yang sebok nak pilih) - hence the Chinese food. We had steamed Garupa aka Kerapu(which was too big for two), buttered squid and mixed veges.

Yes, I stopped eating half way tho the steamed fish's to die for - yer, mari lah berhenti sebelum muntah, elok-elok dapat makan sepinggan, jangan lah sampai macam tak makan yer dak? he he. Owh, C*** managed to finish up everything, ALONE. Yea, my darling husband is an eating machine. No doubt about that.

C*** actually said something about dragging me to MAHA. He claimed that he always like em. he he. Mimpi apakah semua ini?

We are going to Zue's daughter's akikah on Saturday. Owh, I can't wait to pecet her daughter's chubby cheeks. Dah lama macik geram.

I'm craving for cheese baked oysters. God, how could I be this random. T_T

We are going for our 2nd checkup tomorrow. I hope it gonna be great - minus the long wait.

Stepping into the 2nd trimester of moi pregnancy, I think my all-day sickness is subsiding tho didn't vanish altogether.

I could finally finish a plate of food without the sudden urge to puke. I feel like cooking more often. Could finally tolerate a wee bit of curry, sambal and masak lemak. Backache is still there more often than not(bummer!). Still a big fan of fruits and veges. Still can't tolerate dairy stuff - especially fresh milk tapi I'm still big on yogurts and Vitagen(yey!).


Still need to go to the loo few times before bed(ini sangat penat!). Whenever I feel like a wee wee coming, I need to go, like ASAP. I'm still as gassy as ever that sometimes C*** has to burp me(like a baby) after meal.

Am religiously using the anti-stretchmarks lotion and cream on moi almost-non-existent-baby-bump before I turn into a tiger. Tahap mengada adelah tinggi especially after 10pm( that's when I need a back rub la, hot tea la, apa la. Yes mengada is nice. Especially when C*** is around. he he)

I received a parcel yesterday. Went over to pick it up at the reception whilst wondering whether there's a possibility of me forgetting something that I purchased online - it ended up to be a sample bottle of J&J baby powder together with a greeting ala-ala keibuan - "Hope it's going to help to soothe the baby and you yada yada". Err..thanks. When did I ever sign up for such sample? Sungguh misteri.

Am soo going to spend the RM500 on optical stuff this weekend. A must. Apekah yang bleh dibeli with mere 500 bucks?Hmppp...

C*** need to get a new cellphone(so do I), might as well get it for him - as a birthday gift. Tapi apakah? :P No Iphone and fancy celly please. My darling is ganas ya know? Scratch that,it's just that his nature of work won't allow anything fancy. Cars, engines, engine oil(which reminded me that the shirt he wore yesterday adelah stained dengan jayanya) and fancy celly just don't go together.

That's about it, randomness at its best.

Ciou.

We've known each other for 7 years.

We've been together for 3 years & we've been blissfully tied to to each other for 5 months tomorrow. he he.

Ya, if you haven't notice, I'm talking about my friend, my other half, the love of my life(ha ha, it feels awfully cheesy saying this, but well, it's true) otherwise known as my darling C***.

He turned 27 years young today.



There was no cake, candles or card last night as both of us were tired from the long day at work - only wishes, hugs, kisses and a birthday video - but fret not,we'll get it covered soon. Like real soon. he he.

So yea, I think I should ramble bout C*** for a bit.

o1. He's still not the most romantic lover in the whole universe. he he. Not that I'm complaining as he could be rather wonderful with his sudden outburst of romance. ha ha. Owh well, you can't have em all.

o2. Tho he's lacking in the romance department, he's not the one to shy away from PDAs. Like yea, apparently planting kisses on your wife could be casually done anytime anywhere, including when you're in the kitchen together with your mother(and she aka the MIL would just laugh at the PDAs dan saya adalah segan). *gasp* Yes, ianya sudah berlaku like berjuta kali that I lost count and the will to be embarrassed anymore. Perhaps I should just be thankful for having a loving husband. Yes? he he.

o3. He reads me like a dog-eared book as it's getting harder to hide my feeling from him. He could still tell that something is amiss tho I'm all smiley and whatever not. Yea, wonder what happened to the old inscrutable-me.

o4. He's big on DIY stuff so he's my MR DIY as he'd fix most of everything around the house and the cars. Like yea, I owned a car for the past 8 years but my knowledge on em is rather limited to the basic stuff. Yea, I'm ignorant just like that, so I'm so very thankful for a car-fanatic engineer husband. He could tell if there's something wrong by the sound of it. he he. Me? I'll be like, what sound? Dah roboh keta tu baru perasan agaknya. :P

o5. He's pretty rajin when it comes to house chores. You could really rely on him to bring out the trash, cook,load the washing machine, fold the laundry(much better than I do) and that's about it. He can't stand ironing(but he'd do it anyway when I started to whine like a sick puppy and when he saw me ironing his jeans, he thought that I'm crazy. ha ha) or washing the dishes.

o6. He'd never say no to food unless it's really really sucky. Like yea, he has a high tolerance for nasty food so when he finally pushed one aside,ya bet it must be really really tak sodap. he he. So far he's doing fine with my cooking(Yea, looking at your husband makan dengan gembira is happiness). Adakah saya masak sedap? Perhaps not lah, but I swear it's not nasty either(since my fussy lil brother pon never complaint. ha ha. Adik mengada itu memang suka complaint, abehla kalau dapat bini tak reti masak. Yer adik, I'm not kidding here kerana your lorat-ness cannot be helped.).

o7. He doesn't really know how to shop for himself - especially clothing - but there's no doubt that he's an expert when it comes to buying stuff for his cars. Yea, apparently spending thousands on a set of TEIN(TEIN what? Google it!) is normal. he he. Passion katanya. he he. Whatever you say lah darling.

That's about it lah. I could go on for days rambling about him, but then again, you people gonna be puking blood lah kot. he he.

Yes, I wish him an endless happiness(with me obviously) and a blessed prosperous life, now and here after.


I thank Allah for bringing him into my life. He's an awesome other half for being with me this far - crazy, kiasu, OCD, paranoid or not and I love him to bits for that.

Enough of mushiness.

Ciou.

We headed back to Malacca on Friday's noon after receiving a call from MIL. C***'s uncle was hospitalized and his condition was deteriorating.

We reached Malacca sometimes after 4pm and went over to the hospital for a visit. Stayed there for a while before being whisked back home by BIL who insisted that I shouldn't be in the hospital (aka the bacteria silo) too long, given my condition.

So we went back home and I had an early night since I was terribly tired( It's absurd, really, I'm like tired all the time) and my back was aching from the 2 hours drive.

The PIL went to the hospital for another visit next day, without us - as I was not allowed to go and C*** was forced to stay home with me.

Well, on Sunday as we were lazing around after lunch before heading back to KL, we received the dreaded call - Ayah(the name which C***'s uncle was fondly called) passed away - so we canceled our plan and waited for everything to settle.

It's sadden me to see the red-eyed cousins & relatives. I can't say that I know how it feels to lose a father but at least I know it sure hurts to lose a loved one.

Well, the body was ready for burial sometimes after 6. I even followed everyone to the cemetery(tho some of the older cousins told me not to,but heck I'm not superstitious. ). We walked there(it was more tiring than I thought, but who am I kidding la kan? Walking to the car park from the office pon penat these days.)

Everything went well and we only came back to KL yesterday - to a tunggang-terbalik ala kapal karam crib.

Darling C*** help to load the laundry(he mastered the how-to-sort-the-laundry-based-on-my-ocd-wife's-way ), picked up the dry ones from the yard and folded em whilst I made us hot drinks and sweet potatoes fritters for tea(I craved for them, so balik jer terus buat, tak menyempat2) and fried pasta for dinner. After dinner I was too tired for anything, so C*** had to iron his uniforms himself - which he did without complaint, for that I'm so very thankful.

Today, as I'm back in the office, piles of work are waiting to be sorted out and just now the boss came in only to tell me that I'll be sent off for a week-long training - next freaking week - just when I thought that I'll have a well scheduled week ahead of me. Nampaknya tidak.

Now I have to finish up the stress test, prepare the deployment documents and instructions for the production deployment on the 3rd and double check the db scripts. All within hmppp...2 and a half days(as I would be on a half day off on Friday for my monthly checkup).

One word, great.

Now please excuse me whilst I drag myself to a corner and cry.

Sob.

I'm tireeeeeeeeeeeeeed.

Got home around midnite only to find out the freshly-made pickled mango(yummeh!) that MIL packed for us spilled in the car.

Well, I was too sleepy and tired to bother much but C*** was terrified.

o1. It's HIS car.
o2. The liquid is acidic for God's sake - it would seep into the carpet and later gnaw at the metal part of the car and the car would be berlubang!(Okay exaggerating much?)
o3. The liquid would leave a pungent smell if not being cleaned ASAP.

Yea, so guess who spent hours cleaning em last night? Well, absolutely not me. I need to sleeeep since I have to wake up for work the next day remember?

I didn't realize when he got into bed, but I bet it was late since he was mumbling "mengantok mengantok" in his sleep when I was kissing him goodbye before dragging my lazy butt to work. Cey..tengah tidoq pon bleh complaint mengantok ka? Tsk tsk.

Anyway, my EID-Adha's a good one. Went for the semayang raya at the nearby mosque(which is like 15 steps away from the house). Had ketupat nasi and kuah kacang for breakfast since I couldn't bring myself to sample the rest of food spread thanks to my limited palate. (Yer, strategy untuk tidak muntah telah berjaya selama 4 hari. Yey me!)

Had yummy lunch afterward and a quick nap kerana tetiba pening tanpa sebab. Woke up and watched some tv with C*** and the rest of the families. Had hot tea, otak-otak and pomegranate for tea. Went out for a quick shopping-trip with C***. After maghrib, we ate some more and headed back home.

Yer, cuti yang memang bagus. We did nothing much but eat.

Well, Raya korban is rather incomplete without the meaty bits aight? So MIL even packed kilos of beef and bones for us to cook back home. Bones ey? Maybe I should turn it into soup tulang. Sounds appetizing but we'll see lah whether I could stomach it later or not. The mind is still playing tricks on me ya know? It's like when I think of some food, adelah rasa macam "owh sedapnyaaaa kalau dapat makan,sedapppp...sedapppp" but I'll ended up feeling nauseous when the food sudah terhidang depan mata. It's just frustrating.

Hmppp..talking bout food, last 2 days I felt like eating porridge so C*** cooked em (with excessive amount of love. :P Sila muntah.) for me. Nothing beats a hot bowl of mushroom-laden chicken porridge with crispy fried anchovies and tempe(tetiba ada tempe, I felt like eating tempe remember?) on the side (especially if you don't have to cook em yourself).


Sungguh gembira. THAT is my kind of food these days. Yes, I forced C*** to eat em too, walaupon kelihatan forced tapi makan bertambah jugak, so my kind of food is not bad after all ey? (Taking credits macam masak sendiri pulak :P).

That's about it lah,lunch's time over.(You should look at my lunch, it's just sad and I just shoved it down my throat for nutrition's sake. Sob.)

Tata.

Here I am, minding my own business in the office whilst my SAHH(Stay At Home Husband), C*** is sleeping/watching tv/______(insert any relaxing activity here) at home.

Yea, he's in the midst of his week-long break and I'm workinnnggg. Hmppph..

Well, I shouldn't whine much since C*** has been awesome these days, okay scratch that, he's been awesome for like forever. Even more so yesterday since he went out to buy groceries, gutted the fishes(& prawns), took out the trash and cooked for dinner all by himself. How wonderful of you darling, I could absolutely get used to that. :P

On a lighter note, my tummy is showing - just a teeny weeny bit lah(or so I thought) - especially if I'm wearing a snug outfit at home. C***, the ever so wonderful C*** actually think my buncit-ness is amusing, as he would mock me with a fishy look plastered on his face whilst mouthing "budak buncit". Ces..I'm buncit for a reason ya know? At least I have a super valid reason to be buncit and all my jeans still fit.

Owh, I don't know whether it's too early to hunt for the baby stuff but I've been doing some research(cey..research) on some of the crucial stuff. Especially one of those gadgets that would help in the dairy department(I survived solely on BF when I was younger. Kudos to moi mum). ha ha.

Yea, who would have thought that those stuff are freaking expensive. Like, a decent gadget would set me back almost half of my monthly paycheque - as I'd need to find a good one since I'll be working full time and whatnot, so something mobile and efficient is a must. Adekah anda tahu what on earth am I talking about? he he :P

So yea, a research wouldn't be complete without the paperwork. Yes, I have to prepare a so- called paperwork for C***, he's the financier ya know? Jadi haruslah membodek tuan tanah itu so he would get me the one that I WANT. he he. Yea, he's one particular engineer(yang ala-ala OCD at times) so I hafta list out the specs, the advantages and whatnot for each model that I've shortlisted.

Anyway, we're going back to Malacca tonight. I wonder how EID-adha in Malacca gonna be like. he he. :D

Owh, C*** bought everything that I craved for last weekend. We actually went to MidV(to get the asam laksa, cream puff, Juicework etc) and hang out at the Gardens for a bit before heading for a pasar malam for yet another session of fooood hunt. I still can't eat much tho I feel like having loads of stuff these days. If makan jugak in the normal quantity, I'd puke my guts out and feel sorta bitter afterward. Kesedihan sebab makan tapi termuntah pulak. So now I'd usually have some of everything and hand over the rest to C*** to finish. Yey C***! :D

On another lighter note, I need to buy something optical. I have RM500 to spend before the end of this month. Hmppp...apekah apekah? Yes, I'm rabun(there I said it) but am too proud for glasses. I don't look good with glasses, sungguh nerdy & old.( Who needs to be reminded that they are 26 anyway? :P). Glasses just don't gimme the sophisticated-or-whatever-you-wanna-call-it look so perhaps I should go for lasik(tapi mungkin patut tunggu sampai I'm super rabun, as saya sekarang hanyalah slightly rabun). We'll see la hoh?

That's about it lah, suddenly I feel like eating tempe. he he. :P

Have a blessed EID-Adha. Be safe.

Tata.

So, it's Thursday already and I'm still in midst of stress test yang sememangnya membuatkan saya stress. he he. Yer, bila nak perform stress test on a system, developernya turut menumpang stress which is not good.

To add up to the fun, one of the users called this morning(whilst I was driving to work) to invite me to one of their system briefings(yea, the system which I made myself dengan menderita hati lara kerana the users were hard to work with) . Kononnyer I hafta be there to enlighten them on the technical stuff whilst they are doing the walk-through. Haih, now I hafta go and dig the closet for my formal working attires to make sure they still fit(kerana I dress casually to work). he he.

Anyway work aside, I made C*** promised to take me to the Big Bad Wolf this weekend. It has been ageeees since the last time I got myself some good books, so it's time to splurge a little. Budak yang tamak dan suka habiskan baca buku laju-laju memang suka buku murah supaya boleh beli banyaaaaakk-banyaaaak. Why? I used to feel sorta hmppp...rugi, to finish up reading a blardy expensive book within a day since I'll be like "Eh..dah abis baca,nak baca apa lagi? I should reread supaya lebih worthy" :P.

Yea, I'm a cheapskate just like that(especially when I just started working - with a teeny weeny paycheque, like apekah gila membeli buku mahal dengan banyaknya when you should be spending on some other necessities). So yea, habits die hard, which explains why I'm currently reading Stephen King's Leslie Story for the umpteenth time - besides being cheapskate tanak beli buku baru, it's also due to the fact that I love this book. It has a dark story line tapi berunsur kejiwangan - tho of coz you can't compare Stephen King's kejiwangan with Nicholas Spark's. he he.

Talking about book, it reminds me that I should drag all my books that I keep in the office(under my desk to be exact) back home. Plus I also made C*** promised that he'll read this one particular book yang sangat lah best. he he. Yea, he used to read a lot those days, tapi sekarang dia adelah malas, but the other day whilst we were back in Kedah. He had a sleepless night kerana he insisted on reading a particular book from cover to cover malam tuuu jugak. Hoh, kalau malas tu, malas sangat, tapi dah start baca, tak menyempat nyempat nak abehkan. Tsk tsk. Yea, no point in guessing, he was looking like a zombie the next day. :P

On a lighter note, I cooked for C*** last night and I didn't puke! Woot! Yea, how pathetic is that? Cooking a simple dinner for the other half feels like a huge achievement these days. The fact that C*** complimented moi cooking dan makan dengan gembira adelah membuatkan saya emosi seperti nak menangis kerana terharu. ha ha ha. Yea, I'm laughing now, but seriously, I felt like crying last night. ha ha.(Note:Please note the hormonal imbalance, I'm not usually this mushy). :P

Hmpp..C*** gonna be on a week off next week. Kenapa? Kerana his company adelah baek hati so he got himself a week off for Raya Haji whilst yours truly on the other hand adelah cuti satu hari. Yer, I hear ya, sungguh tidak adil! I'm planning to force C*** to do some spring cleaning but mungkin tidak, kerana kekasih hati adelah tidak begitu rajin, but who knows kan? Mungkin dia akan rajin kerana kebosanan. he he.

Owh, on another lighter note, I'm currently craving for cream puff (Papa Beard's or Sun Moulin's would do), cinnamon rolls and asam laksa. Owh nyum. Must drag C*** to get em this weekend. he he.

That's about it, lunch time's over.

Ciou.

I'm back from my long weekend. So let's be random for a bit.(Yea yea, I'm repeating the same intro again and again, but guess what? Why on earth should I care? he he.)

o1. Enjoyed a lazy long weekend at home. As usual we did nothing but ate a whole blardy lot. Yea, just when I thought that I won't be eating much due to my current limited palate, but who would have thought that mum could whipped up like 1001 of awesome stuff to fit my taste buds. Ayah tercinta juga turun padang untuk masak for his daughter and SIL(walaupon selepas itu the kitchen bagaikan dilanggar garuda, tapi masakan adelah sedap). Owh I love you mum. Owh I love you dad.Sob sob.

o2. Besides feeding moi tummy, mum also cooked a lot to feed her beloved son in law as if he's as skinny as a stick. he he. Yea, mungkin takot menantunya kurus kerana anaknya yang tercinta adelah tidak rajin memasak sekarang. Well once I'm over these whole hormonal imbalance thing, I'll try to get back to my normal I-cook-everyday self. I'm feeling guilty too for not being able to cook for C*** as often as I should ya know? Tsk tsk, bilakah the kitchen-nausea akan hilang? Bilaaaaa?

o3. I'm still on everything-soupy-and-everything-yang-digoreng-garing-minus-the-oil diet. Yea, still no curry, masak lemak or creamy oily stuff for me. Thankyouverymuch.(Hoh, with this sorta diet, perhaps I could lose 10 pounds...or maybe not).


o4. The other day, I craved for cinnamon rolls. Did I tell ya I love cinnamon? Especially cinnamon rolls, cinnamon sugar sprinkled on hot toast and I absolutely love my hot chocolate with cinnamon. Owh, sodap. Anyway, when I was craving for cinnamon rolls the other day, adelah impian yang tidak menjadi kenyataan since the nearest place with a decent cinnamon rolls are like lightyears away.

So yea, the next best thing that I could think of was the Cinnastix from Dominos - so darling C*** drove me to the nearest Dominos for that dan saya makan dengan gembira, tho it's just breadsticks smothered with cinnamon sugar. I'm so easy to please. Maybe we should be more adventurous next time,yes? :P

o5. Yan is recovering, tho he's complaining bout his limited daily menu - since his food hafta come from the low in sugar, carb, salt and whatnot variety. He even claimed that some the food from his limited menu,especially the oat porridge or high fiber biscuit soaked in milk adelah rasa seperti dedak ayam. he he. I'm glad that he still has his funny bone intact but healthy food are just like that, agak kurang menyelerakan but they're good for you.

Please get well soon. It sadden me to see him immobilized as he always been out and about doing his thing - planting and looking after his pokok, solat at the nearby mosque etc. (The last time I saw him being himself was sometime before puasa, that's like a month after my wedding. Sekarang adelah kesedihan since I hardly know how to react to his condition whilst feeling helpless since I couldn't do much but pray for his well being.)


o6. I was bored last night and I couldn't help but notice the blackheads sprouting on C***'s nose. he he. Like yea, I've pestered him to use the scrub that I placed in his bathroom, tapi seperti biasa, pacar itu adelah malas. Soooo, I gave him a home facial instead.Yes, I'm bored and the sight of blackheads adelah sangat irritating(I'm a bit ocd sometimes) and knowing C***, he just gave in(kerana his other half yang mengalami hormonal imbalance ini memang suka berkelakuan pelik). he he. Yea, stuff that C*** would do to amuse me(I heart you darling and being nice to your wife won't make you any less of a man or a husband.Ustaz Mohd Kazim Elias pon ada cakap.he he)

o7. It's the 1st day for me to drive my naga to work after a week. I didn't realize how easy it was to drive C***'s big car until I drove my naga to work this morning. I was like "Mengapakah rasa berat? Why didn't it go faster faster?" Ya get what I mean? he he. Yer, ini adelah ciri-ciri lupa diri, mungkin patut seriously consider getting myself a new ride.I've procrastinated for far too long. he he. Darling, if GTI tak boleh, Polo also can ah. Yer, mari menabung. :P

That's about it, have a great week.

Tata.

Mum's currently in Langkawi for a seminar and lil bro tagged along tho he's supposed to turn on his geeky mood since he's in the midst of his study week. Phbbttt....kids these days, adelah sungguh tak melepaskan peluang untuk merayap. Thanks to Dad(who arranged a rental car for him and whatnot) he's now driving around the island dengan gembira la la la instead of studying. Okay, I'm jealous walaupon it's just Langkawi. ha ha. How did I get so bitter?

Dad, could you please arrange something for me too? Please please please? Four Seasons hotel like last time can ah?

Well, bitterness asides, at least mum promised to buy me tonnes of chocs.

Anyway, moi naga is all good now, but I'm like a quarter of the paycheque poorer since the we couldn't find any local spare parts and hafta opt for the imported stuff. Haih, pity my 8 days old paycheque and me. I could get a decent designer handbag..errrr..diaper bag(?) with that moneh. Yea, moneh flows like water these days so let's hope for a better increment and bonus this year. InsyaAllah the rezeki would come.

On a lighter note, we're almost done with the last cycle of the UAT. Thank God. I'm getting pretty sick of it already. By next week or later today, we might as well start with the stress test. I hope my reporting module would survive the whole ordeal, else I'd have to alter the reporting queries which would be a major pain in the ass. Thanks to its complexity, calculations and whatnot.

Did I tell ya I hate maths? I've been running away from em like forever but who would have thought that a programmer pon kena mengadap maths formulas jugakkkkk(Who am I kidding? Saya adelah seorang geek in the banking sector, of coz it involves a whole blardy lot of numbers). Tsk tsk. Yea, I didn't know how did I make it through all those calculus and statistics papers either. he he. Maybe zaman study adalah sangat gigih, sekarang adalah malas lipas. Not good.

Okay lah, enough rambling.

I can't wait to balik kg, balik kg, balik kg, balik kg!(Annoyed much?he he)

Later then.

Tata.

It has been three days since I hafta drive C***'s big car to work - all thanks to the fact that my naga is currently hospitalized for some leaking issues(duit duit dimana kau duit) and I won't be able to drive C***'s small car tho my life depends on it(read: it's a manual car, oleh itu saya hanya reti tengok.)

Honestly,the idea of driving C***'s car scares the hell outta me. Like yea, who am I kidding? I don't usually drive such big and equally low mpv (plus it has those fancy schmancy body kit and whatnot,apekah akan jadi kalau terlanggar curb?Hee..let's not go there) - tho I've adjusted the height of the driver seat, it still won't give me a full front view of that big machine(Yes, I'm not blessed with lengthy legs or body). Jenuh la saya terjengok-jengok or I'd sometimes trust my guts and agak-agak whenever possible(which is scary).

Besides the scary factor, C***'s big car is not money-friendly either, considering the fact that the car is not made for town driving. Yea, just when I thought that my naga is the worst ever(among the cars that we own) when it comes to fuel efficiency. Surprise surprise. he he.

Okay, fine. Takde lah surprise sangat sebenarnye since it has a bigger engine compared to my naga, tapi....mengapakah telan minyak as if the oil tank is as big as a bottle of Vitagen(okay, I'm exaggerating). he he. Darling, I can claim the money I've spent on your car or not? :P

On a lighter note, the weekend was a breezy one. We lazed around, we went out for good food, we cooked(okay, I cooked, twice! hah!), cleaned the house whilst C*** was trying to force down liters of fresh milk down my throat the whole time. So much so that he'd go "Dear, drink your milk now!" each time I'm drinking something else but milk.

Yea, I'm having a hard time when it comes to the milk(I'm supposed to consume 1 liter of em everyday). I mean, I have no problem whatsoever when it comes to anything dairy related before, but these days, drinking a tiny mug of milk is simply excruciating.

Perhaps I should give my doc a call to update her on my 'situation'. Haih, so much of a situation lah. I blame the throat, it's not what it used to be. I can't stand anything too creamy or oily. It triggers an endless gag-reflex. That's why most of the time, you'd see me having too much of clear soup and soy sauce.

Hmpp..what else? Let's talk about my cravings. Not having much of em these days but on Saturday I craved for coconut juice, ya, tetiba rasa nak minum ayaq kelapa. I've heard so many rumors about ayaq kelapa before, bout how you're not suppose to have it during your 1st and 2nd trimester of pregnancy and whatnot.Tapiiii...mum gave me a green light on it, saying that's it's good and whatnot. Got the same bright green light from my gyne too, so yeah, with the restu from both of the expert. What the heck aight? he he.

So I had a refreshing treat thanks to C*** - of course lah dia join sekaki - and I'm doing finee. Alhamdulillah. :D

Anyway, I can't wait for our balik kampung trip this weekend. It has been soo long since the last time.

Rindu rindu rindu.

Have a great week aight?

Ciou.
