Carry Me Can?~

When I was having Elly, buying baby sling neva cross my mind. But recently, I think I nid it BADLY!... We went to Kiddy Palace the other day and asked the lady to show me how to use it. Hokay, there's a dvd/vcd disc to teach the user how to manage it. Some ppl whom I know swear by it. But it seems compliketot to me. How?? In the end, I used the baby carrier which "berbakti" to Elly and me not long ago.

And of coz, being the fickle minded person, I want to buy the sling. Tak pon rasanya pakai sarong ala maid Indon slalu buat pon ok kan. Kain batik kat rumah pon rasanya ada~ hmmmm.


On another nota~



Aku dibius utk dgr lagu ni. muahahaha~ EKh suddenly, Yusry seems to be hensem plak. OK jgn gelak! kahkahkah I used to adore him mcm nak gila back then coz of his looks and nt his voice lah .. so typical minah²!

A few days ago, I juz gotta know the difference between the words; handsome and berg. Ingat tak masa dulu org sebut² handsome berg which means you look handsome and you have the muscular body. Kirakan kalau bdn ok, muka berkecai seribu dikatakan berg ajer ek?? (sungguh bimbo soalan ini) ok ok.. i shall stop the bimbo-ness.. enjoyzing ek the song and ur weekend too.. I sungguh love the song~..

Things that make we go hmm~

It's a Friday and thanx to the waiter at Secret Recipe Marina Square for reminding us.

1st stop; Parkway Parade.





















We came an hr b4 the show begins. We were at Level 1 and to think that there's gonna be interactions between Dora and the kids but we were wrong. She came out wave and dance a bit then took photo with the kids. THE END. yeap!! Dora The Explorer was a disappointment.

I received an sms fr Marina Square a few days ago bout Sesame Street goes live during this week. I dragged my family after that.



This pass was given to 40 families per show and we were one of the lucky ones. It enables the family to get upcIose and personal and take picture with their fave cartoon characters. I managed to coax eLms for us to join in the queue for a gd 50mins before the show started. This was done for the eldes dotter, Ellia. Ni kalau kes derhaka, akan ku ungkitkan perkara ini wahahahahaha.




She was asleep in the pramp when we reached and queued in Marina Square. After the disappointment with Miss Dora at Parkway, I guessed we, as the parents, have to be a sochai to make her feel happy seeing her fave Sesame Street characters. When she asked where's Big Bird, Ayah Mimi came out with this answer, "... Big Bird sakit sebab tuh dia takder kat sini..." hmmmmmm























Left pic : She was all awake when she heard noises when we catched Dora.
Right pic: She cant be bothered by the noise and fun that we had when we catched Sesame Street. Oh bebe, u shud've join the fun with us!
















Elms was "forced" to buy a shirt with a certain colour which I used to hate it even to be worn on me. But it'll be revealed in my next entry.


Elms asked Elly to sit on her former pram and she's beginning to be loving it. Next I wanna put on diapers back on her bum² and put pacifier in her mouth kahkahkah~~

25th day onwards~

Escape to Vivo CT

I cudnt wait for the confinement days to be over. So I over-kan earlier than expected. Well b4 tt, a few days b4, I'd oredi went out for my mthly groceries shopping. Bak kata org² tua skrg lah, budak skrg mana nak kira pantang ni semua... main hentam ajer. miehehehehe...

The kaki-s (reads:legs) very the itchi-s. As early as 11am, we had our tea time at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaves. I had my large Hot Chocolate. It's soooo nice tt I sipped it slowly. How lovely! Elms had his fave Ice Blended Sunrise which (in my opinion) was not tt bad.

It's as if I was freed fr a bird's cage. The urge to shop rushed in me. But I only restricted myself to buy just 1 thing. So I head off to MAC shop, just to buy a freaking white eyeliner... duuh! Itu pon jadik ek, I was satisfied hahahaha. Then the-must-to-go-in shop; TOYS R US~~ kakak Ellia will move ard the whole store to "..tengok² something ajer..." then lepas tuh Ayah Mimi will have to pay for her tengok² something (reads: look ard for something)

Being at home as a part-time stay-at-home-mOmmie is kinda cool. Ellen Degeneres, Oprah Winfrey, Rachel Ray and the a bit boring Martha Stewart, Take Home Chef, The Naked Chef Jamie Olliver often keep me company the whole day and not forgetting OKTO channel and The Playhouse Disney channel too. While watching tv, every 2hrs, someone will demand something fr me.

Introducing the main cast of "Aku Mengamok Tapi Tak Demanding", Ellisa.

Close eyes open eyes (direct translated ek), she's turning 1 mth soon. Ok tt's freaking me out as yr 2008 will be ending soon and my maternity leave will be ending for the 1st half of it. Elly will attend Nursery soon, shoes and socks to be bought. Rasanya Pallas Zap-On masih exist tak kat Singapore nih? Very ol' skool ek..... Kalau ada bag Umbro ol' skool pon I think I wanna buy..... for myself ngehngehngeh.... If Ellia steps to P3 or so, I think I wanna teach her the way to tie shoelace, the ol' skool way.... tapi still ketupat nyer lace gua tak pass² ah... bley gitu ngehngehngeh...

Episode 5: Them (Episode Terakhir aka Last Episode)

Ekh is that my Ayah Mimi?

During the intense labour, eLms told me to remember Allah and remember elly so that I can go through the battle.


The eldest sister, Elly, was all quiet when she visited me that very night. She refused to talk to me but gave me a few hugs. Along the journey back, eLms asked my Mak if she was asleep but she wasnt. Then, they heard she sobbed and wailed afterwards. My Mak tried to console her and gave her a glass of hot milo and she went to sleep instantly. It hurts me when I gotta know bout it when I called eLms that night. I tried not to think of her in case she might have nightmares or thinking bout me. The nxt day, after I asked her the reason for her behaviour, she said that she wanted me~~ aaawwwww~~~... She looked at my left hand (where the induced thingy was, but it was already taken off) and asked if I was fine. Alhamdulillah, she's all back to her cheerful self once again.


She was all excited to gave her sister the baby Pooh Bear and was delighted when her baby sister gave her the Mini Mouse. Mana nyer shopping centre kat dlm perut aku nih yg adik dia belikkan ek....? Thanx to her Ayah Mimi who quickly rushed out to buy that present of hers.

My precious family!

Episode 4: The Unforgettable Journey~

On a serious note:

Thank you all for the well wishes to our family. Alhamdulillah, although it's a tough battle, I made it to the end with the help and support from eLms. And thanks to Allah for giving me the opportunity to be alive to see my new born baby and InsyaAllah to see both my girls grow to be better human beings.

Freshly squeezed out from the oven mcm paru² panas baru direbus, Ellisa Nabilah.

Meh meh dok cerita nih.

4cm dilated and actually my contractions were somehow minor. On that day, 5th Nov, gotta know that the hospital was fully book but thank goodness we have a chance to admit on that day. To cut story short² ah, we waited for Dr Mary Yang at the delivery suite fr 12ish to 2+pm coz she had do some surgery. Oh! Obama won rite ngehngehngeh.... we knew it all along~

After Dr Yang broke my waterbag, within 2hrs I dilated to 5cm. She thought that it was a weeeee bit slow tho. So she gave me some "help"; INDUCED.... errrrrrr wats that? Is that painful? Tuh ler akaq tanya si Dr tuh. Bcoz for the delivery of eLLy, I was not been induced. Oh cowww, u know how segan I was she used the needle. hurhurhur pain hor.!!

And few mins later, I felt it. Allah is Great! He tested me with the greatest pain of all. To add matters worst, we heard other patients screaming as well. Errr I think only A PATIENT lah. She kept screaming GOD~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ for a few times then I felt like screaming too coz of the extreme pain but I was kinda shy so, I just cry on my own. Iyo cik kak, saya nangis! sakit ape.... I told eLms to gripped my right hand as tight as possible and don let it go. I don feel much pain on the waist area but mostly on the tummy. It's different from elly's whereby the waist area felt like gonna snapped into 2.

6cm dilated. And I felt LIKE goin to BERAK. But na'ah.. 4cm more to go. Suddenly, out of the blue. I felt the baby's head down there. Quickly, they called the Dr. The midwife told me not to push and used the towel as a stopper to stop the baby's head from popping out. But I did not listen to her advise coz it was too painful, gue nak terberak lahhh~~ I push! hahahaha...

Lemme forward a bit. Dr Yang was equipped with boots PCK, goggles and the apron. Cheh sempat aku chui skate altho sakit. I remembered these were wat I said...

"The baby's head down there... help me....."
"....Help.. the baby's there.... it's painful...."

whoahhh not bad ah I can remember what I said. I can recall that I did raise my voice a few times or shall I rephrase as aku marah lah ngehngehngeh.

I had a long pushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh till I was breathless. Then Dr Yang told me to breathe in and out like I was panting.. But I pushhhhhhhhh coz I heard eLms said push hahahaha... Then canne nak panting ek coz the contractions subside. But according to eLms, the baby's head was out and went in a bit but Dr Yang was still holding it. Al-kisah nyah, mak tak tahu ler.... Then panting panting panting.. tetiba, Dr terpelantingkan budak tuh kat atas perut ku. I felt a warm meat on my tummy. It gave me a shock coz all the while I shut my eyes and when I opened, I saw my baby there. Alhamdulillah!~

I admitted that I was almost defeated and gave up the battle. I blamed it all coz Im ageing ngehngehngeh.. bley gituq... Then we heard the patient shouted GOD~~~~~~~~~~~ again.. ekh seksa aku dah abis tau.. kau nyer blom...? Kesian kan dia terseksa mcm gitu.

Episode 3: Walking, strolling or ...?~

Most peeps said my tummy looks CUTE! hahaahah that's the 1st amazing comment, hokay~ and nt forgetting how small size it is altho i've rched 8mths and they thot I was 5mths preg!

Hi-lowwww peeps!!.. I am back.. yes! back once again in my abode. It was however an anticipating moment for us. But we will let the bebe in the tum² to come out when the time is right. To date, it weighs 2.6kg (we find it a bit light tho) and bout 36 weeks. Anywhooos, I lost 200g LOL! After the much eating and all, I lost a bit of weight tsk tsk tsk. I was then strapped (CTG) in order for them to have the readings of the bebe's heartbeat. And guess what, there's popping sound initially and I or we often thought it was the movement of the bebe, but the clinic asst said it was the bebe's hiccups! Amazing right!! We thought she was juz pulling our legs.

eLms will want the bebe to come out when the time is right but the eldest sis cant wait for the one's in the tummy to play with her.

I am 4cm dilate and since the bebe's have not rched 38 weeks as yet and I have not have any major contractions and no stains as yet, we will juz wait for the bebe's signal. But I was warned if chked, 5cm dilate, I will be admitted then. Given another week's of mc-hammering. The thing is, I cant walk that much. I will feel pain at the lower abdomen area and the cervix area as the bebe's head is there. Right now, I have to confess that elly walks faster than me and I think my mum's strolling is much faster than my walking.

I've decided to have early maternity leave after the 5th Nov if by then the bebe's nt delivered as yet. As decided by Dr Yang, the week of 10th to 14th Nov will be the determined week if the bebe's refused to come out, she will be somehow forced to come out hahahaha.



And so once again, I will be bedrest. But not walking much is such a chore too. hahaha~ Walking ard the hse is chicken feet but walking from my hse to the bus stop (if I happen to go to work) aka near Tamp mart which is bout 5-10mins walk, is really a great challenge for me now. I guess I need to have eLms and elly's company for a morning or evening stroll nowadays for me to enjoy the fresh air. Till I update once again. Toodle Tiddle doooo~

Episode 2: Oh no!~

Only Allah knows what we felt last Saturday when I had my chk up. 3cm+ and counting more. The distance between the baby's head and the edge of the "door" was a short distance. This differs from last week's measurement/dilation which was ard 1-2cm and the distance was quite far. We did our pre-registration for my admittance as per advised by Dr Yang. I was not admitted on that day coz I was juz 36 weeks. She thought that it might be a littttttttle bit tooooooooo early. And she warned, "If u feel it, just head up to Level 5 and wait for me at the delivery suite!" She was pretty aware bout my history of being in labour for 3 hrs for delivering elly, 3 yrs back.

Last Thursday, yellowish mucus plug was discovered and on the following day, milky whitish mucus was seen. I had great tightenings ard my left stomach on the evening of last Friday and it was soooo great that I thought that my tum² felt like a balloon being stretched out and imagine the balloon's making that sound being stretched. Come come, let's imagine it together!! miehehhehe~~

During pre-registration, me and eLms were imagining that we might be behaving these ways.



I was given another 2 days of MC aka kau kene bedrest, lah~ for today and tmr. And 2mr, I will be seeing Dr Yang, yet again!~

Episode 1: Let's whack them, Honey!~

We had 2 sets of Rhapsody's meal at Delifrance @ Gleneagles Hospital. I simply love the humongous sandwiches and the soup. I wonder if anyone can tell me what's the name of the soup and its recipe. Its somewhat made up of leeks and carrots. PerfectO!~~



This was one of my to-eat list. Nasi Ayam Penyet @ Marina Foodloft (although I think I still prefer the ones at Waroeng Penyet @ Marine Parade)



On the other hand, eLms had his Gado-gado and our meal will be incomplete if the popiah basah were not bought (ONLY from Qiji). Perfectly rolled and stuffed with its delicious fillings.



Another to-eat list of mine, Ice Blended Blackforest with whip cream and eLms with Ice Blended Pure Chocolate. Marvelicious!! We then tapau-ed 2 Double Cheeseburgers and 1 MacChicken burger to be consumed at home during dinner!

Conclusion: Worth every single cent and most importantly, amciam I was still feeling hungry ard 10ish??? tsk tsk tsk

nOT too late I hope~

It happened on a Sunday, 19th October. 2 families were unable to join us; Jujuk and Izzat and Idah & family. The visiting was delayed for more than an hr. It was raining on and off and we were stucked in PIE. Furthermore, every motorists were driving slowly as their visions were nt that clear.

1st stop, Nolliek's!! Saya sudah lapar tau and was sleepy on the way to her homie... ngehngehngeh

Cantik tak rose putih nyer? I saw the bouquet of flowers juz as I entered the hse. Background; tulang and mee hoon putih. Ape lagik, masuk, letak bag then BADOK (ekh mcm dah lama tak gunakan perkataan ini ek) Tak reti nak mkn tulang, juz took the kuah ajer.

Juz a few of us jek. AhCenniek arrived early as she stays nearby. Those 3 jejaka-s were our MAIN drivers. There's a lot of incidents bout driving. Hanya kita ajer la yg tahu, ngehngehngeh... Then off to ahCenniek's hse. How come no picture ek.. tsk tsk tsk. But I was we were in love with the ayam grg PANAS² nyer!! And melihat kerajinan anak dara itu.



At kak Su's, these were wat we had; PIZZA nehhh.. lupa nak tanya Puan Tanah Kedaung, dia buat sendiri or order neh. Sedap!! And on the right, Mael, bukan nama sebenar, mencurik² mengambil photo anak dara sunti yang sedang asyik bermain² toys.



This was at my home. They're waiting for my lasaknia (reads:lasagnae) to be heated up. Looking back at the picture on the left, kat tv tuh, sib baik Sadako tak kluar ek? So terang! And to ur right, both Mael and eLms, tak sudah² kes Jurong Island! Sampai tak sedar kita nak move on.....



Lastly, akaQ nih sampai tertdo 4 kali ek? alahhh chian! tunggu punya tunggu kita dtg. Ntah brape kali Chef Adam heated the mee hoon grg. And the ayam grg!!!!!! I tell u, ellia did the most sebat-ing. Mak apak dia tak mkn byk tau tau tau!

So, these are the hap-dates on the MMVDs jln raya~ till.... errrrrrrr we meet up again.

p/s: there'll be more entries as of toay, I THINK! ngehngehngeh.

Still can wear~

This was taken November 2006

This was taken October 2008

And she still can wear the dress that we bought for her 2 yrs back! How wonderful! But it's shorter but still below knee length.

This reminds me that most of my baju kebaya that was tailor made during my anak dara sunti time. To my surprise, Im still able to put on them but I have to face a BIG challenge. I need to re-adjust the hips area of the kain ngehngehngeh. ekh don laff too much ok!! Expansion sideways I know!~ So after the preggy-ness symptom is over, which is bout early nxt yr, I will ask someone to re-do the kain of my anak dara days ngehngehngeh.

3 days, kinda worth it~

It was medical cert. How I wish I can ask for hospitalization leaves next time round, shud I? hahahaha~

Luckily I made it to the office as while walking again this morning to the office seems so difficult. On that 14th, I felt some hard pinch at the cervix and lower abdomen area and for that, I went to visit the gynae. She predicted that my labour will be earlier than the due date. Well, all the best to me. So I assume it shud be ard nxt week or so. Oh I even told her a white lie that I'd oredi packed up my E-Bag ngehngehngeh. Ok ok not yet but doing now errr 2nite hokay!But but wait up, ghiirrlll, mummy's Hari Raya visiting to clear. Oh pls pls pls lemme do my roundings again. I know I know, I beg for sooo many-oh-times for u to delay ur arrival but the same decision will go to Dr Mary Yang coz u're not even 35 weeks as yet (looks at the calendar again). So after 35 weeks if u wanna see ur sexy mOmma (ahaks!) Im willing to welcome u with terkangkang position. aiyooo thinking bout the delivery suite really gives me the jitters (yet again)!

Oh back to the headings yah! I was at home (most of the times lah). Kinda bored (coz at home) but I really appreciate the family bonding that we had. I gotta play (or shud I say, she always kacau my peacefulness) with Ellia and got the kicks and punches fr the bebe in the tum². I didnt walk that much as slight movement will be uncomfortable. My cervix is not opening up as yet. Still 1.5 to 2cm dilate jek. But I always and often believes that walking does gd for labour. But somehow, Im walking in gear 1 rite now. Selowww meloww sei tsk tsk tsk. But anyhooos, Im enjoying every bits of my pregnancy term as I've been getting massages by the husband and ppl ard give me the honour to choose the lunch/dinner destinations. Ni blom terkene mengidam yg memcm but naahh thank goodness I am soo not memcm nyer olang.

And so to end my entry, why wasnt I given MC till 2dae ek? ngehngehngeh I miscalculate too la.. I thot when she said 3 days, it's till Fri sei peehh hampeh.. tapi takper, Mak berserah, Nyah~

The Octobies~

Hari Raya Aidilfitri always mean to me as Hari Makan ngehngehngeh. Ydae, we managed to stuff everything in the tum² at all 3 hses. Fuyoooo power neh! There's spaghetti, mee briyani, grilled chicken, sambal fishballs, black pepper cocktail sausages, mee hoon putih, satay-s, sambal prawns, tulang (err ni kita tak reti mkn ah) and byk lagik lerrr... tsk tsk tsk

We reached home ad 7ish and we quickly clean ourselves and put on our clean clothings. Elms was getting ready for his nite shift and me with ellia were on our way to Tamp St 21 for another dinner spread... Yes makan lagik! Tang kayu to my dear brothers who paid the expenses... korang mata² kan. This was to celebrate the October babies.

While waiting for hap hr, she showed me this pose. Penat weiii tunggu korang!

My bro (holds the cake) with his youngest SIL and younger BIL and to ur right is our niece. The OK-to-Ber ganyut babies!


We went to Rasa21 Warong Kim (HALAH one u noe)

My 3rd bro's family. Muka actually lembik ni, kirakan senyum tampal (reads: fake smiles) from them ngehngehngeh
Sempat dorang tukar fr baju raya and rush down coz JANJI Melayu kan slalu 1 hr late. tapi takper kerana dorang went visiting fr wdlands and my bro drove for 20mins at errr _ _ _ km/h back to Tamp, I willingly take ur reason!








My 4th bro with his wife (extreme right) and his in-laws. The pink tudong is his MIL. Dorang ni semua kalau dah bergaul ngan kekita, ya ampun gamat...! Ni kluarga pon lmbt. Sib baik ada valid reason!

My mak with her 4 out of 7 cucu-s.
Note: How come Irfan looks so yemes like the father ek? LOL!


This cake was chosen by my dear eLms (cheh dear sei!) There's a similarity between this cake and eLms; THE tajam²! mcm dia punya rambut.. Orgnye takder so kek ni konon represent him ah!~ We bought it at the new bakery shop at Tampines St 21; Bakery's Junction (HALAH one oso u noe!) This cake is not that butterish and not that creamy, maklom yg mkn pon tak kuat manis (except for certain ppl, esp me~ :P) and it's affordable. Licing kering kontang dorang kejekan ni kek! Alhamdulillah~~

Nowadays~

She'll go gaga googoo and behaves like a baby. She'll hug and kiss me dearly and will not let go of me when I am bout to go off to work. My hands need to touch her (any part of her body as long as she can feel it) when she sleeps or she'll wake up crying.



A few weeks back, she tried to suck her big toe! DANGGGG!~~ .. isnt it too late for u to do that, my dear Ellia?
