Last Sunday 5 mins before class ends, my little young chinese girl vomitted in class. She had been complaining that she had tummy ache. I asked her umpteen times IF she wanted to head to the loo. She grunted a few times during the 1.5hrs of lessons and I was quite worried. But at times she was back to her cheerful self.

She became a merlion after that. Oh Boy...!! ugly scene i must say. I was caught off guard and I used my hand to save her gruesome vomits.. YESSSSSSSS i did that!! goodness.... then i quickly grab the wastepaper basket but it was too late larh. One of the boys was in the midst of vomitting and I told them to get out of the room. The boy who almost vomitted tried to push the door open. *slaps forehead* He did nt think straight at that point of time. His left foot was at the door and he tried to push the door open. Shudn't be pull the door, darling.... it was funny at that moment and I myself was bout to puke too.... I calmed myself and instructed him on how to open the door....

Now.... back to this girl. She puked out lots of eggs.. Yes.. i can see the eggs coming out fr her. Ist thing popped in my mind was McDonald's. She denied having McD for breakfast. Daddy had to cycled back home (thank goodness her home was nt that far) to pick up new clothes. While the cleaner cleaned and I washed wateva needed to be washed hehehe. I told her to sit on the chair, she was drenched I tell ya. I reassured her and talked to her, nt making her feel guilty. She was one of my best student yah. I pitied her. To make matters worst, we're having open hse in that centre. Lucky us that nt many parents came at that time.

I walked her to the toilet while waiting for Daddy to come. I changed her and Daddy said, let them clean her at home later on. The girl told me that Mummy fed her with lots of eggs. Now now mummies out there, pls don let ur child eat too much eggs lah. Later sakit perot sape susah! have bread or something. If possible don let ur child have those milk or orange juice, if nd too pls let them have a small portion.

Anyways, luckily my meet-ups w/ my frenz was later in the evening... else confirm I will go home and chg again coz I don think I smell that nice after wat had happen hahaha..~~..

Lemme present to u my F1 racer - Lisa Anne or in short Lislis. When she walks with the assist of her F1 Walker, (it's juz a walker hahah) she drives it in gear 5. In short, u can feel it like 200km/h; which is that fasssssst and furious coz she main langgar lari ajer hahaha.. abis semua barang rumah dia langgar. Tt's y i opt to have minimal furniture at home. Kids being kids whenever she sees me at the door, she'll zoom towards me and asks me to carry her. If ignored, she'll throw tantrum and cried all her might. But Ayah Mimi ever told me,"... but dgn I dia tak mcm gtu tauww" hahhaaha... Look honey, I am her mother, of coz dia kejar Mak dia kan kehkehkeh no offence to Daddies out there but Mommies will come 1st.

Lisa Anne (cybername only la) Anne = N = Nabilah. Mak dia kan nak step glamour. Korang jgn muntah mcm budak cina yg kita dah ceritakan ekh... hahaha
My youngest tembam (err more to big appetite) girl loves to watch giggle. She loves to play with her sister of coz, her jantong hati. Her eldest sis, will try her best to entertain the youngest. Sometimes, u can hear them giggling in their room. Juz the other day, someone asked,"Ada girl best ke ada boy best?" Nt having boys at the moment, of coz I say girl best kan. Coz we can doll them up. That someone said, boy's baju very the expensive unlike girls. Oh really.. i din know bout that and i thot it was vice versa. Im waiting for Lisa's hair to grow longer and thicker like Elly's.

My rocker chic Elly Emme. (another cybername) Emme = M = Maisarah = her initials incl her Ayah Mimi. Once again, mak dia nak step glam. *strike a pose*
In a few days time, we're gonna celebrate our nations birthday. I do remember those times where we received goodies at school. Files, pencil boxes, pencils, pens, staplers etc. The songs in english, malay, mandarin and tamil. The flags, u can see lots of red & whites all over the town.
This time round, since Elly enters Nursery, is gonna celebrate National Day at school. She was taught songs and she had been singing whole heartedly at home. Irritated?? ermmmmmmmmm naaaahh she's my daughter, I cant possibly say that, right? no? hahahaaha... We (as in Mak Bapak dia la) join in. Mcm dah lama tak nyanyi lagu kebangsaan, the pledge, I almost stumbled on my words dahhh... cheh.. But overall, a gd experience at least we can hum some words w/ her when the lyrics terlari hahahaaha. And so this is how when u have child(ren). Rekindles back memories. How I miss those days at school but nt the exams tho.

Asik mkn ajer~

I dont think I can loose weight. Maybe when Ramadhan comes than it'll might be of some help. Sebab it's food food food. Yes, we nd food to live but it seems like I Live to eat! kehkehkeh...

This was at Breeks on a Saturday. Initial plan was to go to Charcos, but aral lintang pukang, we detour to Changi T2. Meet up with Idah's family for dinner and no supper kehkehkeh. errrr gambar mknan takder... apersal ek hahahah

Then on Sunday, it was the twins 2nd birthday. Yeap, eLms' eldest sis twins who'd born 2 days apart. They're premature babies and were safely delivered naturally without epidural. ooouchhh!!~

Kuasa Allah, I'm still amazed that such things can happen.

That evening, met up with x-skoolmates. (after 9 long years and 8 weddings... no funeral as yet though)
We said.... a must have pix with Yuzaimi (drummer fr Rancour) so that we can become popular too.. hahaahah lame but yeah it's juz US. We even asked him to smile at the waitresses there and asked if they can give him discount. And I asked if anyone asked for autographs and girls giggling and stalked him to the our meet-up place. But all he can say was,".. nt that I am Taufik Batisah!" hahahahahaah... yeah we love to make fun of him.

at least 3/4 of us attended.. which is GD though...

Me and the wifeys.

It was a gd meet up... They still have the crappiest and lame-est jokes that really made me cried over it. Then we talked bout the naughty things in the past. Haizzz nasib la ek!~~

Amek kau!~

2009-07-20T05:37:00.000+08:00

It was 10ish and Lisa was fast asleep. I laid beside her and joined her in the lala land. I had only 4 hrs of sleep after we came back fr meeting up w/ the rest of the gang at T3 Changi Airport the night before. Then I watched a gd drama show at Tv2 till 2am. Ard 630, I woke up to prepare the necessary things before waking both eLms and elly up for her mengaji at my in law's. But seeing that, Lisa still zonked out, I decided to stay at home. Penat gila budak nih! ahahahahah...

b4 that, eLms was bz surfing the net and playing games at Facebook. Elly was bz singing and peered every now and then at the computer. and the drama continues.....
I was fast asleep and I shall repeat again, I was fast asleep. As a light sleeper, I cud hear one pestering and the other negotiating. Oh my... u must've get the ans correctly! The former was elly and the latter was eLms. Pak-eh nyer kalau dah main game kan khusyuk!

She named it Rabbit. It's her pet in Pet Society.

all scenarios happening while I shut my eyes but I did look back to kpo-chi ngehngehngeh.....
eLms lied down when elly took over the pc. and Im nt sure wat happened then eLms went over to elly.
menyonyeh� dua beranak nih.....

"... elly nak mandikan dia ah..ekh elly tak bley anu nih"
side note: Elly has difficulty to move ard the mouse in fast motion while holding down the left click of the mouse in order to hold on the soap and washed the rabbit clean.
"...come i help u.."
side note: this was eLms 1st to Pet Society. He has nt tried it once and that was his 1st attempt to the activities in it.

"...ekh... mcm mana ek.."
"..alaaaa salah la ayah.... ayah nihhhh" berdengis anak nyer tuh... Pak-eh nyer ketawa ajerrr terkekek-kekek
=====si rabbit nih still blom mandi sgt tau ek... and so they both move on to another activity, which was when eLms gave up on bathing the rabbit and elly wants to play running race at the stadium; her fave apart from shopping!

"...click kat rabbit la ayah... ayah ni kan....." terkekek Mak-eh walaupon tgh ngantok.
I cud sense eLms concentrate too much and that's the cause for nt listening to elly's instructions. Elly kept repeating her words and sighs continued.....
"...pls listen to her instruction..... click on the rabbit when u want to jump and click on the banana so that it wont slip and fall.." i said while giggling, my back still facing them.
Then I giggled too much that tears welled in the eyes... It was damn hilarious listening to elly got really frustrated LOL!!...
"... aaahh kan elly menang..."
"..tak la.. mana menang sei.... no 3 kalah ape.." mak oii Pak-eh sungguh tak memotivasikan langsung LOL!!!
"menang ape.... no 3 pon menang"... optimistic anak nih LOL!!

Then they kept playing twice.
"...ok dah mlm ni 1230... 2mr elly nak pegi skolah kan...."
elly was happy that at least she got to play with her rabbit BUT...
".. ermmm kita main nih one more time ok tak,....." Pak-eh berkata ngan riangnya...
"... ok ok ok !!" as usual the excited Elly!

sungguh kecoh!... i was giggling then juz burst out laughing..... aiyooooooo teruk la dorang ni....

aiyah...~

Injit injit semut
Sape sakit naik atas...

Tapi yg ini.. semua turun ke bawah... Aku rasa bersalah pon ada sebab takder disamping dia...

My Mak is one of the victims of the Rojak Mamak in Geylang. Luckily she didnt go back to her Clementi home that Fri like she used to. I was shocked upon seeing her returning to my home. She told me that she had rojak india b4 she left. And we thot her ceret beret might be "normal". But to our dismay, a lot of ppl were referred to the hospital instead. Innalillah, one of the victim had passed away. I thank Allah that my mak is recovering at home.

kind of...~

2009-04-03T11:59:00.000+08:00

mieheheheheh rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *sound effects of a pirate*

Hell no!~

2009-04-02T05:54:00.000+08:00

I came back ydae and excitedly she said that she's goin to Hellzone 2mr [which is today].
Takajuid (reads:terkejut) I asked her again.

"Elly nak pegi Hellzone tomorrow..."
"wait.... wait.... nt Hellzone... HealthZone..."
"...stick out ur tongue elly.... heal-thhhhhh.."
I made her to repeat it a few times. Thank goodness she pronounced it correctly after tt.

Takot tau pegi Hell zone... jgn ek......

bak kata Haji Bakhil - "kita pegi peknik"~

2009-03-17T10:56:00.000+08:00

And so last Friday, most of the PCF organized outings for the children and parents. We had lots of fun. Getting to know the teachers, children and the parents well. Me, Im the shy one lah.......

They started off with telematch for the kids and then the parents joined too. No prizes for winners hor... It's for fun...! At the end of the day, most kids were reluctant to go back home. Tsk tsk tsk...

The Momma cheered eagerly but look at that daughter of mine.. chill ajer... she thot she walked on a runway, is it?

JAKUN~

2009-03-12T08:12:00.000+08:00

It's been .. ermmm countless mths that I last stepped into the mrt. And so, a few days ago, I went back via Clementi stn. Something caught my attention in a snap. JAKUN. I blinked and my expression chged. Blinked a few times and yet I saw the word JAKUN on top.

So there's a train station called JAKUN which I've neva known. Then I giggled and cant stop giggling. And I looked up again and soon JOO KOON was the correct word. I swear I was trying nt to laugh out loud. I bit my lips that hard till I feel the pain. Tears welled kakakakaka. Breathing in and out slowly..... haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~~

I know there's nothing wrong w/ my eyesight. Still gd, u know.... 6/6 some more and I am so proud of it but but but........ the signal from the eyes was stucked somewhere and cudnt reached to the brain fast. I guess there's some conflict in the IP address in my body ngehngehngeh.... ping .... ping......

Halimau jadi jadian~

2009-03-10T08:16:00.000+08:00

The elder sister loves the younger sister and she will do all kinds of stupid acts to please the younger one. I wonder if she's a lioness, a baby cub or just a troll..... akot neh kalau memlm korang dgr bunyik gini ajer...

Our Toothless Babes~

2009-03-08T19:25:00.000+08:00

My 1st toothless babe born in July '05. 2 days before her big O-N-E, we discovered a small teeny tiny tooth at the bottom of her gum. That tooth did a splendid job to appear earlier before her birthday or else she might received a set of teeth from the uncles as a birthday gift... LOL!

Here comes another toothless babe born in Nov '08. And I'm not sure what leads to her amazing downpour from her mouth. Kata mak-nenek² [reads:old wives' tale daaahh], I might have crave to eat something which I didnt get to eat during pregnancy. Whell, according to one of the sister in laws, I'm juz lack of cal-ci-yum. heh....~ This head of mine [touchwood] is lucky nt to have gone bald.

Last Thursday, on the 5th, she turned 4mths. Ho Ho Ho.. Oh people, don mind of the neck-less babe of mine. The real deal is she's too eager to walk right now. We've put her in the 3.5yrs old walker and she's coping well. And recently, we found out that she has the intention to steal the adult food from us just like a cat.. mee-yooowwww!!

And nowadays, my back is hurting quite bad IF I carry her in the baby carrier for a long period. She refuse to be put on the pram and for that Elly needs to thank her little sis for the generosity coz she has the privilege to sit on it when she's tired of walking.

And watcha sayin' her Umi? Talking bad bout me... hmmmmmfffff!

We pinked her room~

2009-03-04T04:58:00.000+08:00

When I was in my early 20s, I chose to have my room painted red. My single-bed frame was in red and not forgetting my bedsheet, pillow sheets and bolster were in red.

She chose to have her room painted in pink. This is the result of it. The whole of last Friday, me and eLms were working out in her room. There's more to add in this room I guess. We even place Lisa's playpen in the room too. When you care, you share the room with ur sista' kekekeke

Dora's the Explorer courtesy fr her Tante Linda jauh diterbangkan dari Batam...

If the Momma loves butterfly, she'll force her children to love it too ngehngehngeh
This is placed on the wall of her sofa bed.

This is for now. I foresee what Im gonna decorate the room when they're in their teens. By that time I wonder if I have the muscles to help them paint their room hahahaha......

An hour plus only~

2009-01-30T09:41:00.000+08:00

On a Monday. We foresee tents covering the whole area. So we drove to the fave spot, thanx to Kak Su and Losiek. Big Splash area that is~

Leader who lead the way

She cycled from the Big Splash area to Exit 13 Ford Road. She was sooo happy that we fulfilled our promise to bring her here for her cycling. She sweat, drank a lot but 100m to the "Finishing" line, she gave up. She walked with us; and the bike, well, someone need to push it right... doncha look at me, aite...~

Chip Kadam came back fr his toilet break~

Dayang Brownie tolak-king pwincess yg sibok bermain ngan meynannya tuh.~

I was glad that the weather was fine. I was glad that Lisa wasnt cranky till the last 100m of the "race". I was glad that we picked a place that was less crowded and not many "refugee" tents. I was glad...... (ending konon mcm kat buku cerita dongeng ah~~ )

So You Think You Can Dance?~

2009-01-30T08:36:00.000+08:00

It was in the evening of the eve of Chinese New Year. We went to Suntec CT to have our meal. I swear that she was nt high in glucose~.. Perhaps too much pizza and 7-up!

It's our 1st to enter the FREE entry at the Fountain of Wealth. I didnt know it's FREE lah.. nguahnguahnguah.... sungguh innocent nonsense.

This was at somewhere in the Suntec, near Gloria Jeans area I guess. We were looking out for a place to chill out and have a cold drink. Elly and eLms enjoyed walking, laughing and dancing together coz that's nt many ppl ard us anyways~....

So you see ppl, my dotter might have put on a "Wanita Melayu Terakhir" mask infront of you coz this IS her trueself!

Anyways, earlier I sent her to school. While putting on her uniform, I spotted pinks on her body and some strands on her hair. She was playing with her PopArt Florescent Marker and got the stains. Thank goodness it came off easy. But to my astonishment I saw this when we were under the sun.

A cheap way to get ur hair highlight, people! Use PopArt Florescent Marker in Popular Bookstore. muekkekekeeke~ I've already prepared a bowl of water plus chlorox bleach to wash off the pinkish/purplish stain on her hair~~

Can ah like that?~

2009-01-22T04:49:00.000+08:00

This minah is looking forward to go to school. She cant even wait for the time to tick 1pm. Ok that's great. But jgn angan² tahik ayam sua ek. hahahaha~ After her class ends, she'll bathe, has her meal and zonk to lala land on the sofa till maghrib. That's her routine.

BFF - Best Friends Forever~

Elly has been hugging Lisa lately. She knows that Lisa is not feeling well. Lisa, on the other hand, loves to have Elly to accompany her. Elly's jobscope is to sing and dance to her one and only dear sister. Lisa will respond to her sister's actions. I've yet to capture her cheeky smile whenever Elly talks to her.

And Lisa has been calling "...Kaaaaaaaa.. akaaaaa..." whenever she sees Elly.... Can ah like that?? Why no amie, umie, mommie, mama... huwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Here they are~

2009-01-16T09:43:00.000+08:00

Another hour and 30 mins, I'll be fetching Elly fr school. The timid, soft spoken ala the Umi Mas (muekekekeke) has not open up yet and not friendly enough.

Say Hello to the bubbly and chubby Aliyah! She might be our long lost daughter. She's the one who, say hi to us when we reach, wave us gdbye when she's entering the class too and will led Elly to the classroom as well. This bubbly girl has a about a year younger chubby and not forgetting bubbly brother, Hazif. Earlier on, I was looking out for Elly and she waved at me with her PEMALU (reads:kwai kwai) face. Then I saw someone waved eagerly at me. I didnt respond back coz her bibik aka helper was infront of me carrying the tembam Hazif. But Aliyah shook her head and pointed to me. Bibik turned, saw me and smile. Oh, that wave was for me. Aaaaaah so I have 2 kids to look out for. The same incident occured when eLms send Elly to school too.

I asked her how to pronounce her name. And so it is Beaudia.

"Beau.. as in beautiful right?" I said
And she smiled cheekily.... Amboi pantang kene puji.. hahaha~

Both Beaudia and Aliyah are kinda close coz their helpers must have known each other for quite awhile. These two kiddos are very bubbly. And base on the picture on top, you can judge Elly by her pose.. ngehngehngeh.... I'll give her a month or so to be friendly. Or perhaps a year! muakakakka...

Off she goes~

2009-01-07T04:21:00.000+08:00

She's not the bubbly girl and over-excited bout goin to school ydae. She appeared shagged but wanted to attend the class.

At the background, parents/guardians were excited when the door opened at 1. Me, eLms, my sil and fil were there to see her off. She was calmed and followed her teacher in. We heard the kids wailed loudly behind the closed doors. It's nt gonna be impossible for Elly to cry but we knew that the dotter of ours is Wanita Melyu Terakhir who'll not cry openly.

We fetched her and we saw her arranging things then she ran to me and wailed. The thot of "she prolly wont wanna go back yet" was in our mind but we were wrong. The bubbly principal who happened to be there told us that she cried for a while then she settled herself after that. So, kirakan the wailing and hugging my legs tightly was to let out her emotions lah... hehehehe.. poor darling..

V-roose~

2009-01-04T18:19:00.000+08:00

It's 11ish on the 4th of the new 2009. And it's great to go online at this hr. Im in Elly's rm. The kids are asleep (not soundly) as both have blocked nose. Elly's recuperating right now since Monday night. She's often the main culprit to spread her "love" to us in the house. Our family doctor described it as a virus that was infectious that she gotten from others. It then spread to eLms (unfortunately) as he is the one who is taking care of her since Ellisa needs me. Elms quickly took some medicines before it was spread to him but seems that Elly's virus is often powerful that all of us will always be defeated. Her temp often reaches 39 degree more or less. Lastly, Mak was called back from her "long leave" on Friday as I need her help when eLms was away from his night shift.

Elly has to skip goin to her nursery and thank goodness it was only an hr of orientation cum mini exhibition. Her class will commence this Tues the 06th. 2mr is a holiday for her as it'll be the orientation for the K1 kids. Right now, her temperature has drop to normal, juz that she had lost her voice. Thanks to her ever-garang Ayah Mimi who will make sure she takes her medicine on time and to rest well. Elly is no longer the bunchit girl for now, but we hope her appetite will come back real soon. We miss eating with her.

Ellisa, on the other hand, was brought to the clinic at 10ish ydae's nite. I found out that she had difficulty breathing and felt like she's suffocating. The doctor reassured us that it was not serious and the mucus/phelgm will go away when she sneezes.

What a way to a kickstart of a brand New Year with the kids falling ill. Me and eLms area having sleep deprivation for now. A getaway for TWO perhaps?~~ hahaha .. nahhh not for now I guess.

Carry Me Can?~

2008-12-12T08:38:00.000+08:00

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~

2008-12-06T08:57:00.000+08:00

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~

2008-12-02T08:06:00.000+08:00

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)

2008-11-11T15:13:00.000+08:00

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~

2008-11-11T14:27:00.000+08:00

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 ...?~

2008-10-30T04:22:00.001+08:00

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!~

2008-10-28T04:29:00.001+08:00

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!~

2008-10-28T03:54:00.001+08:00

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~

2008-10-28T02:59:00.001+08:00

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~

2008-10-21T10:39:00.000+08:00

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~

2008-10-17T09:28:00.000+08:00

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~

2008-10-13T06:40:00.000+08:00

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~

2008-10-13T05:34:00.000+08:00

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?

The mood is still there~

2008-10-08T07:17:00.000+08:00

==the continuation==

Basically, more to the menjeng-ness and the sensitive mood Im gonna typed.

As per my past entries, I think I've been complaining too much on her mood lately. This shall be kept (hopefully) for her to read... ngehngehngeh...... Sometimes I juz ignore her actions and gave her the annoying look. Every kid, oh I mean every human being is different I know. Human change too in a blink of an eye. She used to be a baby with no nonsense. She slept and juz don grumbled that much. Eat and fed on time and when she grows a bit older, she manage to play on her own. Lately it begins to change sloooooowly. She's sensitive (cancerian lah katakan). Recently, we were out for our mthly groceries shopping and somehow she made her Ayah Mimi pissed. Her ayah (tgh bad mood kot wahahahaha) told her off and went to put the trolley away.

She went in the car and asked me~ "...kenapa ayah marah elly ajer...." When I heard that and I saw her expression, I was speechless and sad. Dlm hati nak kene jugak Ayah dia nih tau hahahhahaa. So I told her~ "...no la.. mana ada selalu... abih Elly buat Ayah marah... takper later can say sorry and kiss him ok.." And she did what I told her. After that, the Ayah kene ngan the Umi plak hahahahaha.... I told him off lerrrr chehh defend anak skate~ the Ayah obviously knew he's a bit too harsh smiled cheekily - tuh ajer dia tahu buat ape... MEN!

A few days back, elly's emotions are quite out of control. Very very sensitive! She did something that I juz told her off in a normal tone. I was not harsh I know. Then she kept quiet and a few mins later we played as per normal. BUT then ........

After I kissed her cheeks a few times, and to think that she'll chuckled, she wailed out loud instead. It shocked me and I asked her why. While crying (mencebek gila ke tahap maksima la nih) "....tadi Umi marah elly....." lerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr budak ni..

So, how wow...!??

it's Our 1st~

2008-10-08T05:06:00.000+08:00

it's her 1st...

and her 1st from us...

I was and am looking forward to celebrate Hari Raya every year. Altho sometimes somehow I will feel not in the mood but when the time comes, I often remind myself that Hari Raya Aidilfitri is meant for the little kiddos. Coz I used to think, when I was still young, that Hari Raya is Hari Dapat Duit (collection time larh ah). So it'll be unfair if I am not in the mood for it, it wouldnt be fair for eLLy too. And I did not teach her that Hari Raya is Hari Collection, and will neva eva teach her that hahaha... jgn iye tuan dan puan... terlari concept nyer~

This year is the 1st time, after our 4 yrs of marriage that we went to my in laws 1st rather than my mum's. And this year is the 1st time I stayed over at my mum's fr evening till nite coz I was not able to walk that much. Furthermore, I was looking 4ward to meet up w/ my siblings and their families and even my other relatives.

My tummy was rubbed by the mentel aunties and not forgetting one of my cuzzens coz they didnt realise that I am pregnant. *slaps forehead* And when they got to know that I am having a girl again, they were thrilled and excited and shrieked over it. According to my research and statistics, (cheh mcm mana nyer real ajer) both maternal and paternal sides, kaya ngan anak lelaki. So, upon hearing that, they want me to give away my baby girl to them. Amboi, ingat anak kucing ek nak kasi kasi... ngehngehngeh..~~

Aaaanyways, I am glad that I fast for 30 days (InsyaAllah diterima oleh Allah puasaku) and that's my 1st full-term puasa kihkihkih and for that I call for celebration. I am amazed that I can eat, with little amount of coz, in each and every hses that we visited. Well, some hses I juz ate the kuih raya. hehehehe..

==to be continued==

Now now now~

2008-10-07T06:43:00.000+08:00

Oh my it's already the 7th Oct and also 7th Syawal. I am in the midst of here and there. But I am proud to say that I managed to finish up all my workload in the office before the DEADline and had passed to the respective ppl here. soooooooo bley ler melengkar mcm ular after that ngehngehngeh *looks at the calendar* Oh but wait, I still have one more audio recording on the 21st and that's gonna be it. The project will end on that week too. Then it'll set off to be launch during the Popular Bookfest.

And by that time too, I am bz or will be waiting for the right time for the bebe to pop! Just this morning, I reminded myself not to forget to place every important thing in my bag to be brought over to the spital (reads: hospital) I am errrrr almost ready but I am a bit sceptical bout the delivery suite...~

Well, aaaanyways, Im gonna chill out for now and don wanna think too much bout work as most of them are done. *sits back on the lazy chair*

Salam Lebaran to all.... and I know masih byk rumah nak dikunjungi kan. Maklom setahun sekali ajer dpt jgk Mak itu Mak ini... Nenek itu nenek ini kan... kalau tak, jgn kata batang idung, bayang pon susah nak nampak nyeh....

Presenting, the gay boys.... eLms and his youngest brO muahahahha

Salam Aidilfitri buat semuak!

A quick one~

2008-09-29T05:33:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday, according to Dr Mary Yang, I was in my 31st+ weeks.

We chatted and asked bout my progress and she found out all these:

My feet were swollen
She held on my tummy and was a bit tight as if I have contractions
The bebe's head was at the position already (bottom of the pelvic); and tt causes the uneasiness for a few weeks and the head might pushes down and I feel tt my cervix is gonna dilate for a few times

And so I concluded tt it's the bebe's legs which keep on kicking at my ribcage altho I sit up straight without fail.

Darling, pls don come out too soon. Umi nak raya and nak sashay her baju raya yg dah siap tuh hokay hokay!

Kapuusshh!~

2008-09-26T11:18:00.001+08:00

Do u still use CRT monitors? hehehe... I am one of the proud owner of it.(reads: WAS) Coz it's totally free, gotten the monitor which comes with the CPU when I signed up for broadband few yrs back. And this morning, I rcved news tt it died... Rest In Peace Monitor! You've been great all these years~... but we're nt gonna "bury" u as yet. Will ask my bro to take a look at it again while we recce for FREE or perhaps cheap LCD monitors.

And why didnt you inform me tt u're gonna pass coz few mths back, my boss was selling away 19" CRT monitors for $2 each and tt both my 3rd and 4th bro pakaliao 4 of them. Then now, in the office we suffered lack of monitors wahahahaha but of coz, luckily there's a few LCD monitors to the rescue!~~ p/s: Where can I get 19" LCD monitor for cheap price??~~ Anyone...!??

3hrs on a Friday~

2008-09-26T06:05:00.000+08:00

...and I am feeling great altho that's the time taken for me to get to the office. That's my 1st obviously!

When I was bout to leave the hse, I wont describe it as rain cats and dogs. It's more to cows and buffalos ngehngehngeh. I was drenched waist down. Pardon me, but my maternity jeans was often been dragged down. The bus ride was twice longer than b4. But thank goodness, I bumped into an old gd fren in the bus. We catched up and was oblivious by the surroundings. Looking at the time, I am sure that I have to take the train to Clementi. She decided to follow suit as she tinks tt it might nt be raining at Bugis, her workplace. We then were shocked by another piece of news. The train at Paya Lebar was faulty so many of us were stranded and we were nt allowed to even enter. So many of us, were at the ctrl stn. (it felt somehow like we were goin to catch a concert) Some have that "oh my god, im gonna be late and my boss gonna kill me" face.. Sheeeesshhh we text to the respective ppl. And she, being a manager for the company she works w/, I called it as her "Bapaknyer company" la, will come and juz be away fr the office at her own free will. Tak ke syiOk! hahaha...

At the platform of Bdk Stn, we saw many ppl tried to take pictures and even record videos using their hps. So tt might be in one of the Stomp section or perhaps to give evidence to their superiors. Since we cant get in2 tt bloody trains, I told my fren tt we take the train back to Pasir Ris so tt we can have a seat till our destination. Great Idea rite?? ahahaha... Luckily it's Ramadhan mth, else both of us will juz grab a breakfast at Bdk like we used to when she's an employee here.

It aint bad afterall, after tt heavily rain, my legs are cold, my maternity jeans are heavily drenched fr waist down (thank goodness, no heavy menses else prolly will head home), both feet area soggy (im drying them now and applied lotion so it's pretty much smells nice), I still feel gd on a wet wet Friday.

Thanx for the company ( I think Allah had written tt), thanx for the safe journey too Allah, thanx to my mum's umbrella (now, where IS my red umbrella?) and lastly thank GOD it's Friday!~ ....

Out on a chill ride~

2008-09-25T05:45:00.001+08:00

The husband, me and the babe went out for a chilled ride. Off to Parkway Parade as it's been so long tt we stepped there. I was browsing thru the bags in Isetan after I bought my Large thickshake fr New Zealand Natural, till ellia lost grip of it and dropped it on the floor. My reaction...

".... oh my god .. oh my god... oh my god....."

yeap, dats the words came out fr me. I asked the promoters if they can called up the cleaner but I 4got to apologise .. coz too much Oh My God liaos.. hahaha.. it splattered to her feet and her sandals and her bottom pants. To the washroom and I was a bit pissed coz we drank bout a third of it. But we didnt scold her but tried to make her feel guilty. According to eLms, she held it w/ juz one hand and when eLms was bout to tell her off, it juz dropped! ... ahh too bad... anyways, I kept shutting eLms up when he tried to make his dotter more guilty hahaha.. kesian ellia. A few mins after the whole incident, I told elly tt I still love her. This incident can happen to anyone. Not our rezeki to drink tt devilicious thickshake. Baik tak mak nih!? hahahaha bapaknya asik tersengih² kasi anak dia rasa bersalah...

Nothing interest us there as I thot we can get 1 or 2 bags for myself and a pair of shoes for elly and a polo shirt for eLms. Then we drove back home when eLms detour to Geylang. (It's a Wednesday and Geylang was packed!) We've not stepped in2 Geylang this yr and last yr during Ramadhan coz HE finds it too stuffy. Oh not forgetting singing lagu raya mcm terror gitu~~ Then came in this song which somehow unfamiliar to eLms till I sang it semerdu²NYA so tt he can remember it. It was the song which I once requested for him to sing to me during one of my birthdays but HAMPEEEEH jek~...

oh by the way, this is one of the fave song tt I am and still totally in love with. perhaps the jiwang bawang me again hahahaha.. Oh there was once we bumped in2 Hazrul Nizam at Giant if Im not mistaken and eLms said out,"... ekh ni kan yg u suka tuuh.." something like tt, till Hazrul turned.. hahaah MAK malu Nyah! trus lalu ajer... ohh my he's tt tall.... but w/ receeding hairline plak.. takper.. asalkan suaramu sodap didgr sua... hehehe

I had conversations w/ elly while sitting at the backseat.

"...kakak Elly kalau dah besar nak jadi ape... teacher, doctor or singer...?"
~still tinking hard~ "nak jadi teacher..."
"...wat do u want to teach..? English, Maths or Science or Arts..."
"... Maths..."

Ok, Im nt sure if she has any idea wat Maths is, hahahaha main hentam jek tau ni budak. I'll soon ask her again wats her ambition in a yr's time or so~~ and tt reminds me of one of my nephews who wishes to be a pilot and a police at the same time..

"...kat atas boleh fly aeroplane then dah sampai bawah boleh kejar org jahat tau tau..."

I was and am always sourcing out for more sound effects, music backgrounds and sound loops. Although some were already bought by the company, somehow I often am more prone to source out for more in the net. I love those wacky and zany sound effects that really fits to the animations animated by the graphic designers. Well, all that really keeps me alive in the office. Usually most of them are not royalty free and you have to purchase them online. I try my best to source out the "Download Free" versions. hehehe...

It's not easy yet not that hard to put in all ur ideas into the animations given by individuals designers (all these depends on ur mood for the day too). I am blessed to have bo-chap designers; "...as long as there's sound effects ok liaos." That's wat my former Art Director often told me.

And now, new ppl joined the company as at for now there's 29 of us. Wow! I think we used to have that figure when I join here 5 yrs back? yes... no?? Then the figure decreases and then stagnant and decrease and increase dramatically recently. Yeap! In this line, everyone seems to be swapping places. Even to the CEO! miehehehehe.

Ppl ard me often describe me as very zany and dramatic as in my character that is. I can be so drama-mama and do all sorts of sound effects while talking to them. They will get amused and some of them, well...... juz tink I am crazy! Full Stop! It's hard to entertain to those who have less sense of humour... sheeeeeeeeeeessh. Oh and surprisingly, my zany blood had run into eLLy's. She too can make tonnes of sound effects on her own. Takkan kuah tumpah ke mana nyek!

Aaaanyways, I'd bookmarks lotsa website which provided lots of free sound effects and all. And........ one of the fave will be THIS

I will somehow convince the Boss here to buy some of the music background (zany ones of coz, since we produce children's educational softwares) for the company again! Well wish me lucK ppl.~~

p/s: so u think I am blessed not to do any data entries, payrolls, filings, taking minutes and dictations...? ohhhhhh YOU BETCHA!

Pop goes the weasel (not!)

2008-09-22T09:55:00.000+08:00

Oh u noe u noe *btulkan sepek*... while helping making and baking the pineapple tart, I felt uneasy. I had dizzy spells and morning sickness striked; I felt like vomitting. And I didnt even acknowledged to whateva Mak's conversations. Heavy pushes at the pelvic area and I felt that my cervix was tore opened. I can feel it tearing slowly. Wah at that time I can be very imaginative. I chked my contraction; or it felt somewhat like contractions.... comes and goes for a gd half hr den subsided and then comes again.

Well, I am goin to my 31st week, and in my heart I was hoping the baby didnt pop out tt soon. I was thinkin bout my tailor made kebaya(s) and I wanna wear them during Hari Raya. hehehe...and so I talked to the bebe in the tum² silently. Stop playing down there, missy, Umi nak celebrate 1st hari raya ok... u can come out end Oct or early Nov la as what been calculated.. don come out early (while rubbing the tum²). Elms confidently said tt it's the Braxton Hicks tt I've been suffering lately (cheh nt say he's a doctor or wat). Oh do u noe tt, my frequent simpul biawak or muscle-pull is quite regular lately. Im hoping I wont get any when eLms works nite shift.... else matilah MAKKKKKK. A few hard tap on him and eLms' to the RESCUE..... pushes my toes hard in order to get rid of the muscle-pulls.

Now..... since the bakings are all done only left the cleaning of the hse jek ... which I might dread to do. Any helpers???

And by the way, the bebe might have stethoscope and eavesdrop thru my thick tummy skin coz wheneva the eldest sis plays ard actively, she'll follow suit and w/ vigorous movements mind u... pain u noe.... bad bad bebe, wait till u come out la den u can play w/ Elly... aiyoooooooo

On the other hand, my E-bag is still not pack... still ok rite? ngehngehngeh

With Bangs!~

2008-09-19T04:43:00.000+08:00

I was on mc on Tues and Wed, all thanks to the itch sore throat and runny nose. Then when I came back to work ydae, I took half day leave as my head throbbed badly. (Sidenote: the cab fare was horrendous! It used to be $13 to $14 but it was $18+, tsk tsk tsk...) Well, the intention to reach Tamp early is to have my hair chopped. Yes u see it correctly, I chopped again the HAIR. I wonder y I love to cut my hair short, it is soo not me. I used to fear short hairs but nt for now. I was imagining my head been massaged b4 the hair kene sembelih (reads: cut off) while on the way back. Im in need of one gd massage and to thin off the hair. A few months back, I had them trimmed but I was dissatisfied with the results, haizzzz~ Sooo....

Bob style it is!... and with BANGS... oh it's been so long tt I have myself fringe... errr but of coz, this model looks great w/ tt hairstyle, whereas I think I look more like an Indonesian helper.. kehkehkeh oops no offfence to those helpers. Or perhaps, I thot I look like org dayak! Ok ok .. it'll take time to readjust myself to this hairstyle. It was once appeared tt I might have a wig on as I have thick hair, but luckily it was thinned for me, thanx for the professional touche....~

Then, while surfing this morning, I saw this...

When my bangs grown a bit longer, I shall have tt front part sharp kakakaka.. very evil like tt one.

And now, I miss my Rihanna's hairstyle or I'd once called it a Victoria Backhand (Beckham) Hairstyle..... haizzzz

Alaahh.. ~

2008-09-15T08:31:00.001+08:00

I 4gotten bout these pixies in my SD card. And well, the 4th yr Anniversary was short and sweet. I craved for Mediterranean food and surf the net and found El-Sheikh Restaurant which located beside Amiran's cafe. We parked at Keypoint Building as there's barely a space for us to parked ours.

Aaanyways, the website for the the restaurant is down. So I simply 4got the names of wat we'd ordered heh... don blame the preggy lady yah.

Our verdict :

it tastes grilled chicken, which we thot we often have at home. The best part was we love the sauce!!

Ambience for the 1st level a bit errr ok la.. but I wonder how the ambience for the 2nd level. Might be great but u'll need to sit on the floor and seein' my condition, I'd rather pass hahaha.

Him w/ his chicken (forever!)

Food wise. Not bad. Elms even commented tt it's somewhat like wat my mum and me been cooking for him. Home-cooked food in a restaurant... good? no good? hahahaha

Mine! ... I wanted to eat Beef Steak and I am so picky in eating steak so this was medium raw. Nice!!

Price range = Affordable.

We shud've ordered with fries rather den the yellow rice. A bit too much for us. Too much Ghee perhaps ngehngehngeh

Since the ambience was not ermmm u noe... We quickly went to Suntec CT to buy these for desserts...

And again, totally 4gotten wat we had. I know mine was some chocolate fudge and another choc. Ahhhh if only NZ Natural is still there, we will opt out BJ's for sure....~~~

Western Weekends~

2008-09-15T05:20:00.001+08:00

Something drove me to the wall during the weekends. Apart fr the neva-ending bakings, I surprised myself by cooking all these for break-fast. The idea juz flowed freely.

On a Saturday, I and eLLy were the only occupants in the house. Whereas my Mak, had gone back to her abode to give it a scrub b4 Syawal comes. But she had gone for break-fast w/ my 1st bro's family to celebrate my SIL's bdae. Im glad tt she didnt have to break-fast alone.

Ard 6ish evening, I cooked for the family these. Elly had zonked out ard 630 while I was bz preparing everything in the kitchen. Elms' will be back fr work ard 8ish or even 9 at nite. So will left me eating all alone!

Toast bread with salad, sausages and french fries, simple aint it?

Elly had the same as me. Look at the lovely red cherry tomatoes. I began to fall in love with them when I was introduced to them not long ago. Not too sour but juz right. Frankly speaking, ME is the only one who ate the cherry tomatoes. Even the eat-everything eLms backed out coz according to him, he only eats the normal round tomatoes. I am not a big fan of tomatoes but I begin to see myself eating and drinking all sourish stuffs this time round of my pregnancy. Great! hahahaha

Pan-fried fillet w/ salad, sausages and fries

When I had my bath, I didnt realise the husband was back home. He was damn early and I had not prepared his sutchii fillet as yet. Lucky me tt he had oredi had some tuna sandwiches b4 he came back. Reason = Liverpool vs Man U

Earlier on tt Saturday, I had thawed the chicken for the nxt day's break-fast. I love massaging my chix.. ngehngehngeh.... Marinated it with love too and wrapped it up and chilled it overnight.

Elly commented why the chicken was in tt position coz she thought it's in the position as the way she sleeps.

My tertonggeng grilled chicken. Perfectly done! ekh masok lift picit sendiri plak... sorry nyekkk... and this was accompanied by...

I will name this Javanese Lasagna. My Mak had the honour to cook up the Beef Bolognaise. And as a true Javanese, she really whacked in a lot of chilli paste. I knew tt she's gonna do tt as what she'll say over and over again... "nanti muak la.. kalau pedas baru best!"

So, move over chilli sauce, chilli flakes and even tabasco.

Not 4getting my fave salad; butterhead lettuce, tuna in extra virgin olive oil, chicken bacon and cherry tomatoes. At the foreground, was my instant mashed potato with my campak² black pepper sauce.

A hearty break-fast meal we had ydae nite till perut mcm nak meletup. And now, what to cook for the coming weekends.......? As Tigger and Pooh & Friends often said... think think think.....

Burning effect~

2008-09-12T11:01:00.000+08:00

Oh shoots! I was nt myself for the past 2 days. To add salt to the wound, the never-ending nausea and gag wheneva Im in the toilet. Imagine tt! I would gag and sometimes feel like vomiting when I step into the toilet or when I want to have my bath. The sound of the water flows really get on my nerve. Then how to bathe... how to brush teeth? gosh... 7 mths and the feeling is still goin on. Very On ek ek ek. And nt forgetting the constant kicking and punching fr the bebe.

Ydae, while doing my work, the bebe kept kicking and punching. U noe the kind tt is very irritating as if someone slightly push ur chair fr behind while u're sitting on a bus. I immediately said, " ekkhh..." frowning bout it then realised tt I was talking to myself. Aduussss. Ydae nite was the worst eva. Elly and eLms wrestled on the bed while I watched the tv, and the bebe wud love to join the fun too. She kicked and punched the tummy real hard. yah yah Join the fun ye Adik!

And this morning, I found out tt my throat is burning hot. I munch ice during sahur thinking tt might help. Yes it did but juz for the 1st half of the day. And now, I wish I can turn the time quickly so tt I can drink some water. Gargling water doesnt help either. I need a fire hose!!!~

Rumah terbakar panggil bomba
Bomba datang berlumba²

Ok i noe nt related.. miehehehe but when u think bout it.. amciam fr rumah terbakar and calling the bomba jadi awak budak cantik ek.... dah gitu.. wats the word "for" doing there?
Think bout it~ ngehngehngeh ok ok crap kan entry nih...

abu abu... kenapa kau nak ke sana.. kan hutan hutan!!~

2008-09-11T12:30:00.000+08:00

If u've read one of my prev posts, u shud remember the Apple Mac computer dat has been sitting by my side in the office nt long ago.

And so I was bz.. yes!! gelak gelak gelak ek... kita bz woman, u noe. While editing the audio(s), I was approached by the boss. He asked me how's the progression on the conversion? (using the Apple Mac) he'eh.. sungguh tak sayang mulut. I juz rcv-ed the soft-copies of the things a couple of hrs ago and he asked me tt? Then w/o looking at him, I replied as I have nt yet touched it. And he suggested I do somewhat like multi-tasking (w/o saying that word) between the pc and the mac. I turned to him and said tt I wont be able to tt as yet coz Im bout to finish my audio editing sooon hor... Rest assured, Boss... everything's gonna b ok lorh.. So I gotta noe tt some ppl had pressurised him and tt, he had to pressurise me. Luckily, I was nt pressurised at all or see it coming as I thot he might a bit kancheong.

He suggested tt the new temp guy to help me out to do the conversions. Well, it was nt necessary in the 1st place (i think). But heck, we have to follow wat the Boss says, rite auda penonton!?? kihkihkih...

Teaching the new temp done and I left him to do his stuffs. Suddenly, a phone call rang and I saw one my koligs waved frantically at me. Aaahh I knew she's calling me for help. So I went over and she said.... HANG! .. orrhh hang only la.. so I asked the temp guy to reboot the system as what I'd been doing. Coz the Apple Mac sudah tua lah and I went back to my place. Then half hr later another shock came. The harddisk cant b found!! Then suddenly after rebooting, the monitor and keyboard and oso the tetikus nt working... wat the fridge!! ok don panic pipol. So asked another kolig to help to give some CPR to the tua Apple Mac. aahh boot up but too bad one of the harddisk mati liao. Sib baik got another heart pumping aka harddisk drive.

Wait till the Boss gets the news 2mr noh. ngehngehngeh. tanpa ku sedari, prolly the Apple Mac might be a male. And he doesnt wanna die while I'm there ngehngehngeh....

p/s: Tu lah, that time I told him bout the problems tt the Mac has been facing. Tak nak dgr kata nurse kan! See seee... to the dead harddisk.. May U Rest In Peace!

Teleport~

2008-09-05T07:31:00.000+08:00

And I wish I can teleport myself nowadays to and fro from work.

The idea of taking the public transportation to Bedok in the morning will not b as breeze as it is when the school reopens. And basically, the never-ending single deck buses from Bedok to my place are often packed w/ earthlings, squeezing themselves in it. Where the hell are those double-decks? ....Since I am preggy, I have countless of times taking the cab back home in the evening. Talking bout saving money.. haizz~ terkopak terkopek noh.

So how wow..? And even worst is during fasting mth. I try my best to b home pronto! But yah I know if i cant get in tt bus.. tt's it larh. I can see the cab waving at me, welcoming me w/ open arms. So rite now, I have to discipline myself not to take the cab too frequently.

Nowadays, sitting too long is no fun. Seems tt every Friday IS the official JAM day on the PIE, regardless it rain or not. The butt will b flat out for sittiing bout 1/2 hr or more in the company bus. When ppl in the public bus offer a seat, my mind will go... "aaahh no thank u.." but I have to accept the seat as it might appear "rude" to others since they've seen my bloated tum². I will figid and tried to re-adjust my sitting quite often. Heh ada cacing kat bon² gitu.

And now, how I wish I can be Hiro Nakamura. Save the cheerleader, save the world!.. naaahhhhh~

Officially... ~

2008-09-04T04:43:00.001+08:00

My wish was to sit beside elms during the solemnization so that I can witness the whole ceremony. Of coz, I warned him b4hand my presence for tt day. *evil thots* Actually, if he happened to stumble in his words during the solemnization, it's easier and nearer for me to smack the back of his head ngehnghengeh... Alhamdulillah it was done in 1 breath.

The purpose in putting up this pic is to show ~~off~~ how tall and slender our body back then. Even abang photographer said tt it's his 1st having a hard time taking our pictures. Look at us or I mean eLms, his height nearly reached the top of the dais. He had engaged (paid of coz) his friend to be his personal trainer in the gym and me... I had no time in doing workouts.. I hate workouts.. so I just limit myself by doing some dieting. Being the wedding planner myself and with the help of siblings and parents are no joke. Tedious!

ERP gantry UNO! aahhh I didnt realise my 4 brothers stopped him 1st. Ironically, his bestman aka bestfriend was shy and IS still shy. Guess who's doin the talking? The Groom himself~ ngehngehngeh

ERP gantry DOS! Next in line were my SILs and my eldest niece juz infront of the dais. Negotiating and negotiating the price while accompanied by the sound of kompang.

Waited patiently. I cud see thru tt thin fan. Heh.. playcheat. Looking at this picture, I was amazed by the magic of cosmetics. I wonder how thick the powder and concealer my kak andam used till my eyebags were completely gone. 2 colleagues approached me while I was waiting for eLms. Man A : ...ekhhh not hot ah..*giggles*.... he even helped to fan me w/ a paper plate. Man B : ...is tt ur real eyelashes?.....

My family and with the presence of my late dad. His wish to send me off came through. Passed away 3 mths after the ceremony. The nieces and nephews were shorter and younger tt time. But now, they've grown taller and wiser and mostly tanner. Three of my SILs, their height still remains the same... ngehngehngeh~~

eLms family with the presence of his late grandma.

On the right was my very own creation of my wedding card. It was printed in the office (oh I paid for the ink too yah) Initially it was such a mess. But it turned out well. I was proud of myself. Even eLms had the same wedding card but with different colour. Look at the playground in both pictures. They're actually the same place. B4 I head off to work, I snapped some picture of the playground and with the helped of Photoshop... voila!!

Last but not least, I wished ourselves a happy ending in this marriage. Till death do us part, B! Ok ok as usual, say awwwwwwwwwww everywanggg..~~!

3 years old and more~

2008-09-02T17:32:00.000+08:00

Curvy wurvy everywhere. Well this time round, I found out tt there's a few gd samaritans who are willing to give up seats for me in the bus ONLY heh....

Last Saturday morning, we went for another mthly visit to the gynae. All went well, except that I complained to Dr Mary Yang that Im having some pains at the bottom area of the tum². She showed us the chart somewhat like the ones shown and explained things.

The baby's head seems to be at the bottom area so tt's the reason why Im having some pains. But it was pretty normal. She commented tt my tummy is kinda.... BIG... errr izit?? She said and showed us not the Asian Chart but the Ang Moh Chart.. which means the size of my baby is as big as an Ang Moh. But I beg to differ, and said,..."let's put it this way..... tt both of us are tall..." ngehngehngeh...

Mak told me something tt both of us are quite amused by her non-stop antics. She drew this and showed to her Nyai Kam then to me when I came back fr work in the evening. As explained earlier to her Nyai Kam, this was wat she explained to me again.

"Ni kan Umi nyer badan and this is baby kat bawah... (so tt explains the eyes) and this is Umi back (showed the straight line)..."then she asked me (pointed to my tum²)... "baby is up here or down here...?" When I answered her qn, then she explained to me, "baby gerak² tapi dia tak besar tau..." I cant stop smiling till now.

Alhamdulillah, my baby is bout 1kg and a very active one. Alhamdulillah again, I managed to fast for these 2 days.

The 1st day of Ramadhan, after maghrib and waiting for Isya', I managed to teach elly some Iqra'. So it began w/ Aa, Ba, Ta. So the 2nd day of Ramadhan, I revised her again Aa, Ba, Ta and continue to Tha. She shocked me out of the sudden coz she told me not to say out and let her do it on her own. Alhamdulillah! I almost wanted to cry. I thot I wont be able to teach her this on my own. I was counting on eLms and Mak to do the task for me. Keberkatan bulan Ramadhan. Here's a short preview of her Iqra'.

How romantic can he be?~

2008-09-02T12:52:00.000+08:00

eLms dedicated this song to me in Facebook.

We discussed bout the event tt's gonna happen this Thurs. To my surprised, he wanted to have candlelight dinner (on a Ramadhan!!) hahahaha.. ok dats freaky!! and it's between me and him. We're gonna leave elly in the hands of Mak. Double freaky!! That beloved dotter of his wud not b missed in any event, as he often said. But not this time round! (stares at the sky) Am I dreaming or something?

So I requested tt he will have a bouquet of flowers hand to me on tt day and here is his reply...

"eeeeuuuwww flowers!.. I am not a flower² person..."

Dang!! Talk bout being romantic at one moment! Baru akaq nak setep jiwang retak~

Anticipation~

2008-08-28T05:57:00.000+08:00

Ramadhan is ard the corner, Syukur!... and everyone is waiting anxiously for it. I hope I can fast for the whole month of it InsyaAllah. Yes, some of you might think that it might harm the baby but insyaAllah, I will not push myself to the limit that I cant and will monitor the progress of my love in the tum². This is what I've been aiming for so long. A month of no menses! ihiksssss.... But I wish and hope I can achieve it.

Another thing that I've been waiting for. It was missed last year and I am determined not to have it miss this year. No celebration of course but I know that it'll be his OFF day on that day. Perhaps a mini celebration after his solat terawih. I was devastated coz I totally 4gotten bout it last year. I've always note on special occasions celebrated by my love ones but not last year. I blame myself for the negligence but he was fine bout it. It's gonna be on the 4th of September.

ekh No Kidding yah~

2008-08-20T10:15:00.000+08:00

You know, 4-5 yrs back I sat juz nxt to this Xerox printer which faced towards me. And there used to have another black & white printer nearby too.

To date, my workstation is still near a photocopier which most of the ppl come and use them every single day and every single minute. Lucky me that I am block off by a tall cupboards but tt doesnt mean there's no noise screaming out fr the photocopier. And so today, I am busy-in' myself printing out some papers. The black and white printer is at the other side of the office. I think I can easily give birth this time round since I've been mobile since morning to and from the printer heh...~

Seems tt I am addict to something. Something coming out fr the printer. The smell of it when it is bz printing the papers. And the smell of the hot papers vomited out fr the printer itself too. Aaaaahhhh syiokness.~ A kolig of mine nearly popped her eyes out when she heard me saying tt.

Oh nt only tt. Do u really love the smell of the cobbler's glue. Ekh actually cannot smell one rite haha.. but I love it. oh im no drug addict yah. And there's one more glue when those contractors used. Forgotten the name of it. Smells similar like the cobbler's glue too.

So there u have it - my nonsense!

lemme quote~

2008-08-19T05:01:00.000+08:00

Usually we are so not really keen in the National Day Rally. But ydae's English speech by the PM really stunned us. Yet we're not sure when it'll take effect.

"Paid maternity leave will be extended from 12 weeks to 16 weeks, and the extra four weeks can be taken anytime during the baby's first year. It was previously extended from eight to 12 weeks in 2004."

"There will also be a larger baby bonus for first-time parents, more tax incentives to encourage mothers to work, more incentives for the fifth and subsequent children, and more financial support for couples who go for In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment."

"Childcare leave, which can be claimed by either parent, will be extended from two to six days per year."

"There will also be one week of unpaid infant-care leave per year, and mums or dads can claim it until their child turns two years old."

Sources from ChannelNewsAsia

Well, how bout tt?

My baby is out!~

2008-08-18T10:41:00.000+08:00

She suddenly crawled and asked for puting (reads:pacifier), and diapers. Her pink whistle is her victim becoming her pacifier. Then she baby talked to us. She crawled countless of times to seek our attention.

Nowadays, sleeping on her own is quite impossible. At the wee hrs, she'll cry like a baby, enters our room and wants me to sleep w/ her and she wont wanna sleep in our room when I am very lazy to move myself to hers. All these, I wonder, might be the attention that she's seeking till the baby is born. I often relate our daily life w/ the unborn baby. That she needs to share her toys and her bed and even sleep together on her sofa bed. There's times she has her frowning face but there's times that she would love to do it soon.

I would like her to adapt with the change soon. Anyways, she's soon to be or is now THE Kakak Elly. And for some who knows her well, pelokek dia... mak datoK hahahahaha tapi tuh pon I will slow talk to her and make her kind of think bout her actions~

Anyways, wat to do mengkudu. Not only the anak... the bapak pon tak kurang pon LOL!

1942~

2008-08-18T10:12:00.000+08:00

I dont remember of posting any entries bout her birthday when I start blogging, did I? gosh!!...

Ydae, when she entered the hse back fr having dinner w/ my 4th bro n his wifey, I ~~let~~ make way for Elly to open the door. Quickly she sang out loud (and w/ her senyum malu)

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday untuk nyai Kam
Happy birthday to you~

I am proud tt Elly's engrish n malai vocab has widen. I would like to thank Playhouse Disney for all the English slangs and to TV3 and even SCTV or TVRI channels for the Malay and Indonesia words.

And today marks my Mak's 66th years oldie. And hope more to come. I wont buy any cakes lah and I'll quote.. Bukannya aku makan.. nanti kau ngan anak kau ajer makan... buahahahahaha.. ok wat tak mkn rugi wooh. Birthday w/o cake like meaningless la BUT taknak mkn tuh lain cerita ah... muohohohohoho Oh and presents pon mcm NOT ALLOWED.... and I'll quote again... Mahal² belik bukannya mak pakai, simpan la duit tuh... and Sape suro kau belik nih..? aiyooo kene marah ajer.. pehhhh~

Tonight not sure wats the plan ah... Might wanna ask her out but dektuh pon ada penyakit M jugak mcm kita² kat keje.. hahahaha..~

Anyways, I wish her gd health and rejekik memanjang. Benda ni tak ckp kat dia ah.. ni semua I talk to HIM only ah... coz I very shy one....

Oh that Miss bubblyrose laughed at me when she gotta know that I was bz... horhorhor.. very not me.. bz w/ the ad-hoc project and thank goodness it's over. and I've been occupied by the ad-hoc template for the online test and assessment papers and refreshed my memories on using Ms Word. Hey it's been a long time I touch that Ms Word. hehehee~ so how kering kontang my otak when I used it a few days back and thanx to Ms Ejekutip Seksis bubblylosiek for giving me a tip or two and for the laughter muohohohoho.

Updates on myself. Cheh notsayidivaorwat nak update ni semua. mieheheh ok ok .. my meet up w/ THE gynae was done last Sat at GlenE. Baby was a-okay no more breech but the tendency dia pusing² mcm gasing will be there. Everything is great (Alhamdulillah) and this baby might b a bit bigger. Nothing to worry bout it. Saw her face.. awwww she faces us and she has sharp features.

The fisherman-friend BIL of eLms bought for us a 2nd hand fish tank. mukekekekkeke coz we thot of buying a stand for the fish tank that he handed to us 2 weeks back but a week later he said he will buy for us the fish tank (2nd hand) as a gift. Oiitsss jadik ler rejekik. And 2mr he'll design the fish tank with a theme - Zen style. Ahhh i wonder how it'll turned out.

Next will be the Ellia MaiMai. Oh this toddler of mine is no longer toddler anymore - at a certain extend. Everything and anything must be done by her - by herself. And IF u've done it, u have to UN-do it so that she can do it. Get it? For instance, when she's out of the car, let her close it and not u. Else, she'll cry. Turn on/off taps, taking her cereal, takes off her clothes, open the door and anything must be done by her. I told my mum that she can be the helper aka maid in the hse ngehngehngeh. And it's been 2 weeks that she has not have her milk. "...Milk is for baby.." she said. So we try to give her alternatives like soya bean milk or milo and nxt I wanna try to give her Horlicks coz I love horlicks hehehe..

Back to the office environment. We have 25 ppl in the dept (or it's called Company) dats a huge intake after many took their leaves to other places. And I juz finished cleaning up the papers and do some labelling on the L-shaped folders for my own use. Now, the scripts are nicely place accordingly to their subjects and I am very satisfied! I am looking 4ward to a hearty buffet lunch meal nxt wednesday. Last mth was at Rice Table and nxt week will be at Penang Place. Hopefully the CEO wont make it nxt mth as it's Ramadhan lah... chian aku n 2 other malays here... *hears tummy growling* .. alamak gotta go... errr sonotexciting entry for now (as if the prev entries are as exciting ek!) heh... toodles ppl.

Lunch : Nasi + 2 telur ceplok masak ngan kicap w/ lada + bawang ... jadik ler dari rumah....

Feels like a teenager~

2008-07-30T11:56:00.000+08:00

Shusssh everyone.. I know it's my 3rd entry for the day. But I cant help it but keep on smiling bout this since morning.

If I am a teenager rite now, I feel ok to adore and have that feeligs towards artistes esp the handsome-s ones. But I am married and goin to have 2 kids and I am still feeling this way. I was surfing the net ydae bout this particular msian artiste. The last time that I saw him in the TV was quite long ago. I even mentioned to my Mak that he looks like one of my cuzzen who lives in JB. Saling tak tumpah babe!.

My craze for Nick Lachey lah, Abg Nuar Zain lah, Ari Wibowo lah are still there but not mucha impact in my life. Coz I know that my life is really preoccupied by my family. But somehow, I chance upon his story then voila! he's in my dream! I giggled la when I woke up coz so budak tahik Hokay! hahahaha

And I present to you the latest craze.... I know that my other half wudnt b bothered by my angan tak sudah craze coz he knows that even the hensem bayang pon i cant reach la!~~ hahaha so I shall see how long this craze gonna last...

Fahrin Ahmad

And so I flared up~

2008-07-30T08:16:00.000+08:00

I came back near to 7pm. Saw makcik sebelah and her grandson, elly and mak, the 2 doors neighbour's grandson and another girl playing at the corridor. The grannies were bz chatting away. I smiled looking at the kids playing together and hurried in as I was hungry. What's new huh??

Then I moved ard the hse aimlessly and smiled at elms who came back earlier than me, watching Ezora at TV3. I head to the kitchen and saw water trickled at the kitchen window. Then a gush of water came in. By that point of time I was looking up and of coz, I dont have the chance to "tepis" the water larh.. I was angry .. really angry.

I nagged that very loud and tried to slam the windows shut! While shutting the windows, I saw the makcik or kakak washing her windows!... Then I nagged and nagged again. The windows were wet and part of the kitchen near the window were wet too.

While elms performed his maghrib and me showered, mak who had done her prayers was w/ elly at her room watching tv. Then came a salam a few times. It's the husband and wife came down and apologise. Mak said,

suaminya kata..."maaf cik, anak cik ada..."
mak replied, "anak cik solat.. kenape?"
suaminya, "maaf cik tadi isteri saya tgh cuci tingkap sebab ada taik burung jadi rasanya termasok rumah anak cik ye..."

Mak said, the wife thot kalau petang rasanya takder ape²... I and elms were puzzled ape maksudnya takder ape²? u mean kalau petang u can simbah the whole baldi of air ke? tak nampak ke jiran bawah nyer tingkap terbukak. And imagine dorang cuci bekas taik burung and it'll drop to my window and God knows that it did splash some on my face earlier.

I flared up coz the kitchen/balcony was wet and the windows wet tuh I don wanna comment much. But if u wanna wash the taik burung pon, jgn lah mcm nak cuci satu dapor. Juz use a little of ur soapwater and do the clean up. If midnite comes, kau nak simbah, simbah la kan.. I wont know who's the culprit but I will nag of coz. Aiyoooo. Lucky us that we did not open the 3 windows but only 2. 1 of them were close coz our washing machine is place there so we wont want any liquid to touch that electrical product.

But of coz, if I was there when they came down, I would apologise for getting angry too but u cant blame me for that la. haizzz..~

Cakap sini Habis sini ke?~

2008-07-30T05:18:00.000+08:00

During pregnancy time, it's gd to hear from other ppl who think or knows the gender of ur unborn child. Old wives tale or ckp org tua², usually somehow is reliable or juz pure coincident.

For instance,

Carrying High, Carrying Low and Ur Hips gets wider
Carrying high determines that ur child will be a boy and carrying low will be a girl.
Certain ppl said if ur tummy widens to the side, then it's a girl and if it's protruding to the front, a girl it is.

Craving
If u cant get enuf chocolates, then u're expecting a girl whereas when u have sour cravings will determine it might be a boy.

The Glow & The Face
When u look sloppish and haggard, it's a girl in there, Honey! But when there's some inner glow in u, then it's a boy. (hey i thot girls are vainpots so why does having boys than we look gd yah?)
Some said when ur nose broadens (kembang terhalang kot), then it'll b a boy or is it a girl ek, i 4got.

There's more to all these esp the food intake during or b4 pregnancy and the timing during ur sexual intercourse and the new ones that I heard was the positioning on the bed itself. HEHEHEHEHE...

Ok, initially everyone thinks that the unborn child in me was a boy. But after scanning it's a girl. Me and eLms took one more look at the so-called xray thingy (yeah it's see thru) and I thot that's the arm of the baby but eLms said it's too big to be the arm. So I was wrong, it was indeed the thigh. (looks at my own thunder thighs) So there's no sign of pistol So my and elly's guess were correct, it'll be a girl.

But nowadays, I have the feeling that the child in me might turn out to be a boy instead. hahaha fickle minded mommie! I cant help it coz ppl keep telling me the things that a pregnant lady would prolly be having a baby boy. They say my face glows la ape la... that didnt occured to me coz some frens of mine who's carrying a girl dont really appear haggard but very very pretty to me. But but whateva it is I hope it's gonna b fine, yes I bet that u'll gonna say that!

Now, I'll let the matter rest and let Allah decide what it's gonna be. About names, the kiasuism started way back b4 ellia was born. We'd decided 2 boys' and 2 girls' name b4hand. mukekekeeke a typical sporean, that's US! So lemme keep on looking at this picture as what I'd done when I was carrying elly.

After more than 24hrs~

2008-07-29T05:18:00.000+08:00

Initially we thot we cant make it. But they survive!

Our amatuerish fishes in the tank. Thanx to elms fisherman-friend bro-in-law who gave us a tank with a pump, some neon tetra, some guppies, some sucker fish, some sand and some plants. We bought 2 potted plants [look at one of my senget pot plant, i do need to learn gardening fr my mak] and 10 cardinal tetra. There's nt much of a difference between the 2 tetras juz dat neon tetra is slightly smaller than the cardinal ones. More to come. I've been eyeing on the neon stones, neon coral and neon plants. muekekekkeke sungguh kental. But this will be gd for the time being.

These are the guppies

Elly's new hobby is to watch over the fishes and feed them every evening. She'll get all excited and she'll tell us when the fishes merajuk. So I assume no more feeding the overfed fatty Koi at Suntec anymore.

These are the tetras still eating

The idea of raring tetra was there quite long ago. But what I really wanted was juz a big round glass bowl placed on the dining table with the tetras in it. Thats IT! ... But since there's xtra tank at my in-laws, the bil passed to us. Rejekik! I didnt know that fish tanks are THAT expensive, such as whicheva we pointed out often have a price tag of more than $200.... peeehhhh~ Oh not 4getting there's this small fish and there's orange stripe on the body which costs $3 each... aiyaahh If the fish can be cook Ikan Goreng Berlada when it pass away, I am ok to buy it kekekekeke. That kept me thinking if raring a stingray will be a gd idea. Then again, I wonder if I will be turn into a beetipool duyung [reads: mermaid] if I keep on watching the fishes. LOL!

It's a BIG deal to us! trust me~

2008-07-24T11:27:00.000+08:00

During the 6 years when the company is developing, we're fighting hard but somehow, we were often defeated. During that 6 years a lot of trial and errors had been made, and somehow most of it was not a success. But we stay strong. New faces, swapping ppl, and me coming back.

Yday and today, each and everyone have hold on to the letter. I was not pinning high hopes to own the letter. I barely reach 12 mths since I make a comeback since Nov 2007. But mine was a special case and out of goodwill [they said] they handed me the letter. The trusts that stays strong, I think.

I am glad that I stayed put with my decision which I had to make the other time. I am thankful to Allah for the things that happen. This is what they call, rezeki Allah!

Apa ada pada nombor?~

2008-07-23T08:00:00.000+08:00

My last chk-up with the GP was a fine one. Even Mak commented that everyone can hear our laughter fr the room. Maklom last meet-up w/ the dearest doctor. B4 I went in, I took a number fr the clinic and off I went for my hearty breakfast at my pebelet Clementi Ave 2. Roti Prata lorrhh wat else and I had a nice hot tahuey! Elly and Elms enjoyed their breakfast w/ me. Mak on the other hand, went back home for a while to collect some stuffs.

In the clinic, there's no patient and I was glad. The GP saw me while washing her hands and asked me to come in. But the clinic asst wanted to take my weight. *dlm hati pasti kata, dah naik dah naik ahh...* I was shocked when I peered down. Very shocked! Then the clinic asst offered to carry my bag which I sling on my hand. The weight went down. 3 kilos ppl.. yes 3 kilos! I wondered what did I bring on that day. I looked in my bag, and ermm not much... seriously... Both me and the clinic asst smiled bout the scenario.

Last mth when I visited her, I put on 2 kg and she gave me that how-come-that-muchoffat face. I gave her an innocent look of coz. "The previous mth I lost at least 300grams, u noe...." I told her. And for last week, I lost another 400grams and she told me to eat more. Adeehhh doctor nih!

Tapi, looking at the numbers, I hope I wont gain that much. I cant really recall how much I gain when I was having Ellia but I know it's near to that 7! And I lost some, thanx to breastfeeding, for at least 3 mths to my ideal weight. And so, if my weight touches the lucky 7 .. I have to do some xtra work to loose them down during confinement. *jots down in notebk*

Tapi the question is... why was my bag that heavy!? There's my purse....i think too many nonsense papers larh... my handphone... ermmm and and.. now I cant recall what I brought.. haizzz..

Like a Sticky Chewy Chocolate~

2008-07-22T06:54:00.000+08:00

Your fave and mine and I am sure everyone simply love this!~

But I am not gonna talk bout this sinful dessert. This is more on my babe - Elly Maimai. We discovered that her imagination has widen. To the extend, I think she can be one good actress. She can imitate what my GP did to me during the ultrasound scan and the way she talks.

We replaced my phone at Mak's room the other day to Mak's previous telephone that she used in Clementi. And so the old phone passed away peacefully. Elly had her hands on the R.I.P phone and refused to let me throw it away. She finds it very very useful for her own use; to chat w/ her so-many-imaginary frens to, chatting w/ her atok Yem, nenek Ros and even to her ayah Mimi in the office. Then, she uses the phone receiver and place it on my tum² to hear the heartbeat [not 4getting the sound effects of "horse-running" aka heartbeat of the bebe] and to look at the bebe's features at the little LCD screen. I am not the only victim here, her Winnie the Pooh was one of her patients too. I didnt know that Winnie the Pooh can get preggy too. LOL!

She will talk to me the way how Dr MasAyu talks to me. Here it goes with her own dialogue....

"Bismillahirrahmannirrahim..." she utters softly.
".... awak tak boleh jalan banyak² ok... InsyaAllah, baby ok..." she said convincingly.

I have to control everytime she does that. That reminds me of a comedy drama acted by Khatijah Tan whereby she talked like one of the famous Malaysian ustazah. Enough of being a Doctor Elly, she uses the phone as a camera; capturing our pictures! It becomes endless and I believe she has tonnes of new ideas coming up soon.

But there is one thing that I thought will neva happen to her. She is now more sticky to me. Without me by her side, she'll be fine and will always loves her Ayah thaaaat very much. But when I am with her, she will deserted her ayah far away even not wanting to play with him. She'll get all cranked up juz bcoz her ayah loves to tease her. And I have to step in and tell her off to not to be rude to her ayah. But we know that she doesnt mean to behave that way. Her ayah on the other hand..... tak abis² menyakat! I admit that I have 2 kids in the house now, they will scream on top of their lungs and the little kid will often feels piss off. *shakes head*

Nowadays, Elly wakes up b4 Im gone to work and she'll cry loudly. She'll asked me to go to her room and po-pok her back to sleep. Till I think she's gone back to sleep, I tiptoed out of the room, but hey that's only the trick to make me not to go to work. Mak often becomes the bad person to drag her back to the hse when she refuses to let me go. Somehow, I dont feel pressured and guilty at all. I dont feel the stress of leaving her behind. I can hear her cry when I walked down the stairs. Of course, my heart ached a bit but I juz let it go. If u combine that scenario with a background of emo songs aka jiwang retak gila lagu, pasti korang nangis! ... and termasok saya sekali! kihkihkihkih....

Only her~

2008-07-14T09:52:00.000+08:00

Ellia Mae, ur future violinist. Chiskotz lagu ni ok tak utk enibeseri kau ngan Idah?

She had fun riding the baby horse. Pls ignore the mummy's excited voice. Yes I pretty much get all hyped up too, juz like the dotter. When I stopped recording it, the horsey stopped and gave us the shitty site. Yeap, a few piles of dunk!

Elly Jordan, ur NBA basketball player. She's in the midst of learning the slam dunk!

She has it all~

2008-07-14T08:42:00.003+08:00

The weather was fine and definitely we had no problem to direct ourselves there. We came 50mins earlier but time passed quite fast. By 2pm, I hurriedly bought the tix for her. $10 and we wondered if it's gonna be a long ride.

Visitors come and go to feed the ponies and horses. Some horses were not allowed to be fed. We overheard the conversations between a gentleman and the worker there; that the horses might prolly bite them. OOuuucchh!

I am preggy and I felt hot but I was willing to wait for bout 10 mins for the pony for Elly to ride on. There's other kids waiting after us. Yes, kiasu-ism strikes and we're the 1st. Elly on the other hand, was sooooo excited bout it. Who's not? It's her 1st on a real one. So we watched a pony brought to the field and we thought that they need to warm-up the pony 1st. Then came another one. Not a pony but a baby horse. And it was for Elly!! ..... Whoooaahh... hokay....! Will she fall?? Will she cry??

Naah, she was ok and she was smiling widely when she passed us by. Aaaaawwwww~ It's not a long ride, bout 10mins I think. She loves it and wants to ride again!! Let's wait for Ayah Mimi to own a horse, hokay bebe! When asked what's the name of the horse, she replied," Gigantic!.... sebab bontot dia gigantic!" LOL!

This was what Ayah Mimi bought for her. We travelled to IMM after the horse-riding juz to get her this. Oh the pre-birthday gift was a full set of Dora the Explorer's utensils and bottle, again!

To think that they have their stores nearby especially at Parkway Parade! muekekekkeke... ok la we didnt know bout it till we saw the list of stores written on the plastic bag.

Vanessa Mae in the making? This was bought by Mak Ngah Su & family. Now, she has her own set of instruments; guitar, tambourine, small drums, organ and a violin!

Since she's coming to 3 and I had train her not to drink her milk in the bottle anymore. And I've chged her normal Dugro 3 with Honey to Dugro 3 Chocolate.

Goodbye Barney bottle and Hello to Dora The Explorer bottle with straw. Successfully tried it for 1 week. Thanx to the non-spilled bottle! She's loving it!

Counting down~

2008-07-11T05:53:00.001+08:00

2 more days ppl! Juz 2 more days and she'll have the same digit as me - a T-H-R-E-E!

Grown up, grown tall, chatty, clingy, independent, curious, mischevious, hyperactive, no more milk in a bottle w/ tits, loves to sing and dance, loves excitement, learning to write by following the dotted lines, loves to do colouring, loves to chat, loves to read, loves to pretend to be a teacher, loves to be loved, loves to kiss her Pooh Bear and Mini Mouse [asril, the Mini Mouse u bought for her on her 1st bdae!] very much, loves to watch PHD all the time (reads: that is PlayHouse Disney) and last but not least...

She has one imaginary friend. Her name is Ibarah. Yes ppl elly said Ibarah is a girl, pretty and has orange hair [eurasian??]. She has not met up w/ her and doesnt noe where she lives and attends to which sch but they chatted on the phone b4. They still need to find a time to meet up at one of the playground to play slides together. Ibarah is that tall; she stretched her not long hands, trying to describe her friend.

Nowadays, she's clingy. Perhaps she has shown to us that she needs my attention till the baby popped out. Elly, has been a wonderful child and I thank Allah for His blessings.

Should I or Should I not?~

2008-07-10T09:52:00.000+08:00

A counter offer had been made to me and I have to make my decision fast. I had this thought a few weeks back - what if? but I denied the fact coz I have no rapport with the Boss himself even he used to be my former superior. Somehow, I am honoured by the offer made.

But in my mind I wonder, should I? I am hesitant. I think I have to stand on my ground. I am happy the way I am right now. I will feel bad if I were to choose that offer. But someone said I shudnt feel so. Undecisive rite now. Shud I or shud I not?

Sign and Sealed~

2008-07-08T06:44:00.000+08:00

Dear,

Bla bla bla bla

I wish to inform you that I am resigning from this organization with effect on this date.

Regards,

Thank Goodness I am outta here.

So it's sign and sealed and a better job offer came. Blessing in disguise I say. His principle : Rezeki Di Tangan Allah! Only He who will give it to you! The most important thing that we learnt, Money is not always THAT important! Goodbye GulfWar and welcome back yet again to the Airport. Ahhhhh B, pls don 4get my orders for MAC Cosmetics too... miehehehehe

Breech~

2008-07-08T06:21:00.000+08:00

When I did the scanning, the baby's head was on my right. Then suddenly, it swimmed to my left. And when the GP called up, she said the picture shows that the baby was in a breech position. Hokay, shud I feel scared or worried bout it? I was quite calmed as I was that bz and stayed for the night w/ the rest of the co-workers to rush out the project. Keep a look-out ppl at Popular Bookstore *oops enterframe the marketing plak*

But when the msg was passed to the other half, and when being qn whether it's a bad thing, I suddenly fear... fear for the worst. I googled for it. And it's a sign too early to say negative things bout my 20-odd weeks old baby. Hmm I wonder y do I feel scared. True enough this is my 1st to hear it for my own pregnancy.

C-sect!?? errrr hokay, I know one of the x-kolig is gonna do it 2mr. I fear becoming a fish as my tummy will be sliced *faints*.

Like I said on my prev post, I still have the jitters to go thru to the labour suite altho it's a nice place to chill in. So right now, I will try to talk to the honey in the tummy.

The Birthday Surprise~

2008-07-07T07:50:00.000+08:00

Me and elly had to travel to the western side of Sg on my bdae. Thank goodness that toddler of mine was well-behaved. She didnt sleep (ok I lie!). She slept when the Radiologist was half-way scanning the tum². Reason for having that short nap was it's freezing cold in the room.

My hp got all hyped out; my msg tones kept ringing since morning. Thanx for the well-wishes pipol for my Three-Oh-dear-bdae. Ekh don laff ah. I noe some of u are in the late twenties. Yr turn will arrive soon, ehehehe ok I am being childish here.

Measurements for the baby was almost done. For the 1st time in my life, I've neva encounter or watch in any net or teevee that the baby was hyperactive. Know what that baby did?? The baby was kicking or doing it's cycling motion w/ its legs. Cheh... I will blame Ellia for it as she's now into minimising the size of her bunchit tum².

I was told to come back 1/2 hr later so that the Radiologist could get the measurement for the spine. And when we wanna peek at the beetipool face, it hid w/ its hand, errr ok that' sooo ellia when she's in my tum² too. But at this very moment, the Radiologist, confidently told me the gender of the baby. Whaaaoohh honey, she's soo confident that she wouldnt wanna chk twice. Hokay, everyone have been giving us the same answer but me and elly has similar answer to it and we got it CORRECT. Mother and sister instinct!?? haha

Hokay, presenting to u the gender of it. My hyperactive baby and I once thot that my tummy was having wind the whole damn time. peeehh~~

Ok la, to those who got the answer wrong or was waiting for the Baby Boy news, fret not. Lemme have a double, triple or even quadruple confirm yach. hehehe Lucky me and elms have no preference in the baby's gender. We're definitely contented and thank Allah for the gift from HIM.

Ok, I think I have shivers to think bout the fact that I nid to go to that Labour Suite again. Hopefully it's gonna b 3 hrs again and a very fast one. Insya Allah!

We did it~

2008-07-07T05:43:00.000+08:00

So everyone prolly have it. So everyone have been talking bout it. So we dont even bother to have it coz we thot it's a hassle and it's the same ol' same ol' thingy. But ydae, we felt like having it. Me and eLms. I thot of registering ellia to it too hahaha! Nonsence~

Ahh I hope it's not like my friendster which I really really dont bother to make any effort to do anything to it. It's faceless and the only reason that I register myself to it coz I juz wanna KpO ard to look at my frens ahaha.. so now, I try to make an effort like what I've been doing to my Blogspot, Multiply and even my Fotopages (dis one, long long neva update liaos)

So if u do own a Facebook, add me.. muekekeke.... now, now, I am trying to figure out how to use the facebook which is less than 24hrs old.

Used-to-be a Special Day~

2008-07-03T10:18:00.000+08:00

And so today is another day which will left a tingling feeling to me. And at that very moment, it was happy to us and still is. We started off dating at Rendevous Hotel, *chetttt wait ah don tink anyhow*, we ate at that mediterranean restaurant to celebrate my besday. *damn i often 4get its name larh, coz now no more, own by one of the football player* So, the nxt day, we were gerpren-boipren la.. *blushes*

Since this celebration has long forgotten coz he's not the romantic type ah.. or I shall rephrase it as.. he oftens 4gets or he will neva remember la. Even my bday he was unsure whether it was on the 2nd or 3rd. Ok, he'll kill me if he reads this ngehngehngeh.

But for me, I often remember at least I know that this day is somewhat special to me. Coz he came into my life lah. errr wait am I being so mushy, no rite!!!??

So, I shall and will ask him later if he remembers what happen on this very day or not. And I can betcha that he'll have to think real hard and have that unsure-face. LOL! Honey, a Happy 7th Anniversary Hitch or Gerpren-Boipren Day. errr is there such word... wateva la hehehe..

@ 1440~

2008-07-02T03:55:00.000+08:00

It happened on that afternoon in the late 70s *coff²* at Blk 28 Tanglin Halt, 8th storey. The couple's 4 sons were delivered not in the hospital but at their respective previous hses that they've stayed before. Then the Father, who wanted a baby girl, his wish was granted, once said jokingly, "Skali Ri sambut bayi perempuan ni ek..."

It might be written in the FATE book that he will be doing that. The couple fought thru the bloody battle to welcome the new born baby girl. Haaah! The Father was brave enough to go thru the whole process on his own while waiting for his father-in-law to fetch the mak bidan to come. They are the proud parents to the new edition to the family and oso the only girl of 5 siblings!

=======================

So lemme have the honour to sing this to myself, apart fr the birthday song that was sung to me early this morning by my other half.

Allah selamatkan sayerrrrr
Allah selamatkan sayerrrrr
Allah selamatkan sayerrrrr yg ke ~~DOPOLOH-SATU~~ ehek ehek
Allah selamatkan sayerrrrr

ngehngehngeh!!!!!~ tang kayu tang kayu!!

Anticipating~

2008-07-01T05:11:00.000+08:00

Now now, this is the moment that I've been waiting for. Last Fri, I rcved a letter from the government. So that's it; it's confirm that I will b changing my Identification Card. wahahahha... Hokay, u shud not b wanting to look at my current ones. It's so retro-ish, boyish with that curly short hair and that chubby face. U'll not even recognise that it's me. Coz now Im cuter, in a way. *pose like Madonna*

So lemme see, how do I wanna pose in the passport size picture, aye, can I or shud I? Thick powdered face, eye-shadow here and there, false lashes, some colours on the cheekbones and perhaps a touch of my fave MAC lipgloss. Voilaaa!! ngehngehngeh. The FAQ of passport taking photo that often lingers in my mind; shud I put on a smirk face or my fake smile!? Alright alright, so I need to be au de naturale bout it else if one day, an officer who chks on my identification, will not b able to recognise me too.

By the way, receiving that letter somehow tells me something. Eeerrrr that Im goin to THAT age, darling! Ydae, Paman Penasaran aka Kudut Boss gave me the card fr the organization. He has that Ernie fr Sesame Streets lafter; kerkerkerkerker, and handed me the card. "...One year older..." he smiled. peeehhh~~

2mr, I'll be on leave and coincidentally I have an appointment at Jurong East, hokay, at ard 2pm. To meet the Radiologist, whoelse! Far u say.. yah damn rite. And the visiting to the Gynae will be done soon at GlenE, yeap I chose a gynae who's Dr MasAyu's former lecturer. So eLms will have to go to work and I shall have elly to accompany me there. Mother-Daughter Bonding Day! I wish and pray that she'll not sleep during her journey and I will pack some activity books for her so we can enjOy on our way in the bus and train rides. Oh how I wish that I have a license rite now.

For now, lemme enjoy the pre-besday celebration myself. *throws confetti*

So I know that the Euro Soccer fever is here. Didnt know that it cud actually got in2 the dotter, I tink. She likes to play w/ her soccer ball and nowadays, she threw her ball into her small bucket ala netball... sape jadi tukang pegang bucket, the amma and the appa la... who else rite... we try to hold it fr same eye level as her and than we try to bring it higher and higher.

Right now, Elly noes how to tell me what others conveyed to her. So whoeva bullied her or talked bad bout someone and if she overheard, confirm dia bilang ngehngehngeh

So ydae nite while watching the teevee, she asked permission to sit on my lap. hahaha yes she asked permission to that. I will always said no coz I will feel uncomfortable ard that tum² of mine. And so I let her sat on my lap.

"umi mas, nyai kam kata sepak [reads:sey-pak]..." she said.

I didnt get what she's trying to convey coz I was watching the teevee. So I asked her again.

"nyai kam kata sepak. kuku elly panjang...ngok ni..." she showed her 10 fingers.

I juz burst out laffing loudly while elms was surprised coz he didnt hear the conversation. I teared larh.. coz tak bley tahan ketawa... ape lei buat.. Sepit kuku dia ckp sepak kuku.... astaga maulana....

You wanna try it?~

2008-06-26T06:59:00.000+08:00

I am always amuse by people who are left-handed. It really amaze me if someone can write with both hands. One of my secondary school female teacher can write with both. I realise that I will have that feeling of "aaawwwww" u noe when I see someone write using his/her left hand. Some of my close family members are a lefty. One of my nephews was a lefty wen he was young but was train to use his right. Shhheeeeesshh! My mum able to carry heavy stuffs for a longer period of time using her left than her right.

I've noticed since young that Elly loves to do things using her left regardless while feeding herself w/ a spoon. We often remind her to use her right only while eating. But somehow it always slip off her mind. A few months back, I tried to teach her to write. We started off with vertical, horizontal, slanted lines and curves. Not 4getting I use my lefty to do colouring with her. "...dont touch the lines.." I reminded her so that she'll colour it nicely and not beyond the lines.

I find it a bit difficult as being a right-handed person for years, it's a tough job to teach her. But I tried and well, my handwriting is as good as Kindergarten kids ngehngehngeh. I try to concentrate while holding her hands and write. Only to imagine it's mirror-like errr get wat I mean.

Thanx to the dotted lines from the books so I juz plainly follow it. But sometimes the sequence of writing is totally wrong. You know, like the letter O, somehow I started it from right to left. My right brain, wake up puuuhhlissssss!

It is somewhat an experience to me. At last I have no nonsense excuses to use my left hand to write. You'll neva know that I might master it one day... miehehehehe.

And so in the office, a few of them tried to use their mouse using their lefty. And as you might've guess. I've tried it too. Not bad larh... coping.. very well! But sometimes, the right hand gatal meraba the right side of the keyboard to search for the tetikus. LOL!

Wish me luck to teach that toddler of mine to write hor....

Lemme think~

2008-06-25T09:41:00.001+08:00

The month of July is coming and somehow this year I am pretty excited. Ehemmmm, oh take note ahh Bibiknya, yours truely, is coming too, nxt week to b precise ek ek ek. *sempat enter frame* Korang plak jgn eksen tak nampak ni statement!

But the real reason is the darling used-to-be THE Toothless Babe is going to b 3. Yes! T-W-E-E!!

And the Mak and Bapak wonder what to do on her very Special Day. Mak and Bapak is hoping that Madagascar II will b out by then. And after that we can go for a small peknik together-ness surrounded by pokok² and bunga-bungaan yg chantek. Ni konon setep jiwang bawang~ Just the 3 of us and not pogetting the one in the tum².

Maknya, yg nowadays bz mcm org pangkat besauww, initially wanted to throw a 3-yr-old party bash. Iye la, konon alkisah wanna celebrate 1st yr, 3rd yr, 5th yr and bla bla bla. KONONNYA....

But Maknya tak sempat la nak dok pikiak. Bapaknya jgn ckp ah, semua dia serahkan bulat² jiwa raga kat Maknya ni. Men!! and they often say we women are kompliketot. Iye lah sukati, tapi men kawen jugak ngan women altho they're kompliketot.

Speaking of ketot, the x-Toothless Babe is no more ketot. She was known since in the tum² to b tall. The late gynae pon once said, "Cool, ur daughter has long legs." Mak and Bapak pon tersenyum simpol malu lerrr. Tgk la kita kan, meng-galah.

And now, although I am bijik as a bumble bee bbbzzzzzzzzz, this head of mine kept thinking what can I do for her besday. C'mon lemme have ur thinkin cap pipol!

" i felt dizzy.....agitated.....disoreinted...fatigue.....my breathing was almost gone...."

And so that was what eLms told me and it almost took his life. According to our research in the net;

Heat stroke

Heat stroke is also known as sunstroke, thermic fever, or siriasis. Heat stroke occurs when the body is no longer able to control its temperature in extreme heat: the body temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given.

Warning signs of heat stroke vary but may include:

an extremely high body temperature (above 39.4 °C, orally);
red, hot, and dry skin, because of no sweating;
rapid, strong pulse;
throbbing headache;
dizziness;
nausea;
confusion, and even unconsciousness.

He suffered fr almost all that was written above. The worst was his hands felt numb then his legs. He was quick enuf to tell the trainer that he was bout that he wanted to puke out and his head was spinning. His colleagues were quick enuf to pour ice to his body. He thot he wont b able to make it; alive!

He gave me a shock when I rcved his sms while I was on my way to Bt Panjang Ring Rd. I was so shock to get to know that death was just that near.

So, does that mean he needs to quit his job and find another?

Non-stop action~

2008-06-23T05:27:00.000+08:00

Elly has been very energetic for the past couple of months. We wonder what has got in2 her.

This was taken in the airport in March 2007

Ydae nite, we went to Changi Airport to grab a hot tahuey kihkihkihkih. Alang² it's a slack Sunday and it's such a cooling day, we decided to have tahuey at Mr Bean. Then, we proceeded to the waving gallery to look at the aeroplanes. And we went back to the same area that we went last yr and she did it again. Running that is and she thot her sweater has a hood like the ones she had last yr.

Nowadays, she has the tendency to do some exercise routines. I asked her once b4, who taught her and she claimed it was Ayah Mimi. But the Ayah denied of doing so. She'll sit at the end of the couch and juz lift up her legs and tries to balance herself. And not only that, she'll do dat on the bed or grab our hands and juz did it. There's oso times that she'll lie on the floor and lift her legs and head up and not 4getting she did a one-time push up.

She's turning 3 this coming July and she's thinkin bout having 6 abs muscles?? peeeehhhhh~ perhaps it's our bad as we sometimes called her Elly Bunchs... obviously the Bunchs refers to her Bunchit tum² ngehngehngeh.

More than words~

2008-06-20T07:24:00.000+08:00

A few weeks back, I was on the way back fr work. While sitting in the bus, the driver tuned to a chinese radio station which has a mix of english-chinese songs.

Then, this song was aired. How can u 4get this great song. I gotta noe it like in my secondary school days i think. Memories yah!

While singing to myself softly, I felt something moving in the tummy. I was not aware till the 2nd slight movements came in. It moved while I was singing the ending of these few lines.

Now Ive tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close dont ever let me go

I smiled and I guess that the baby must've reached out to touch me. Just a gentle touch; a slight one to b precise.

Come everyone say......... aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~~

Her 1st~

2008-06-20T05:47:00.000+08:00

Last week, me and eLms had promised eLLy that we're gonna catch Kungfu Panda. Along w/ her Achik, we headed to VivoCt and the earliest that we can get to catch it was ard 3ish and we got the 2nd front row. Most of the timing were in the midst of fully book. Hokay! we were hoping that we nid not look all the way up till our neck will get hurt.

That was our 1st to VivoCt's cinema and eLLy's 2nd time to watch a movie. Her 1st was w/ her Papa Achik's and family but I got to know that she slept all thru'out the movie.

Standing at more than 90cm [peh tinggi dia], she had to sit on her own sit. $10 for her hokay! I wished that she wudnt b sleeping thru'out the movie. Drinks bought fr 7-11 [heh, i tink there's not much diff in prices if we bought it fr the cinema itself], and that cheesy nachos, which we totally love most!

To my surprise, it was quite spacious. Not much of seatings in there but hey, we love it. Elly slept at the 3/4 of the show but she woke up a few mins later coz of the sound of thunder [meletom² as wat she always describe to us] and she sat back and enjoyed the rest of the movie. Great movie I must say, very impact w/ all the actions!

Next to catch is Madagascar 2!! Yiiipeeeeee! Oh I thank God that she didnt have the urge to go to the washroom. BAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH~

=====================

The other day while the 3 of us were lazing on the bed, elly took a pen and a paper and drew on it. While drawing, she was mumbling and then showed to us in step-by-step.

this is a square, mummy..... [ye ye orrhhh budak ni panggil I ni mummy]

[when I looked at it, I commented] u sure this is a square, it looks like a circle.

[but she insisted that it's a square]no no no.... square!

one, two, twee feet

and then mata and then mulut

tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!~

Elly's 1st Robot. Not bad huh!

There she goes~

2008-06-19T04:54:00.000+08:00

We managed to visit her in the ICU at TTSH. I was lost of words. I was trying my best not to cry but tears welled in my eyes.

She was once described as the "garang" lady once upon a time. That day, she was fragile. When I kissed her hand, I can feel only her skin and her bones. She was in tears. She shook her head once a while and tears rolled down. I wonder, if she's trying to say that she's not feeling comfortable w/ the oxygen mask on or she might wanna say that she's not sure if she can live that long. Time's ticking. And the family had made some decisions. She's in a critical condition.

And so ard 3ish am, 17th June 2008, the children were rushed down to the hospital. She was pronounced dead that morning. She passed away while sleeping.

Al-Fatheha to our grandma, Rohani Binti Abdullah.

The Bond~

2008-06-09T08:25:00.000+08:00

That Friday was eLms off day. The car has not been washed for weeks. It is a rare situation coz usually it will bathe at least once a week. The rajin mood sets in. And here it is the daddy-dotter-bonding.

I took a cab back as my head kept spinning. I bought a bottle of Cokelight for elms and another bottle of Ice Lemon Tea for elly. Look how diligent the babe was! She admits that she loves to wash the car. Now, she becomes the partner in crime with her Ayah Mimi since Umi ~~refuse~~cant do it.

At the end of the whole process, satisfaction guaranteed!

X-squeeze me~

2008-06-06T09:49:00.000+08:00

I had no prob when I was carryin elly when she's in my tum². But u will say again and again. All pregnancy different hor.

The other day, we saw for a few times advertisement of Palmer's Butter Formula. Cheh mcm tahu ajer I ni preggy. My x-kolig used to gave me some and I applied it in my tum². But as usual, I am not dat discipline larh. But everything went fine. Even eLms told me to buy that cream wen he saw the preggy lady massage her tummy using that. But I declined as I dont tink I nid it.

I beg to differ! I think I nid it! The tum² have been itching and I thot it's pretty normal. But lookin at the red rash, heh, I think I nid to do something bout it. Hey I don want any scars on my tum². Neither do I want any stretch marks. Some say Baby's Olive Oil will do and less expensive. But is this pretty ok?

They say it might help to reduce the itchiness. Since when I last applied I have nothing to complain so I have no comments on this product. I just apply it coz my x-kolig had passed it to me. How wow? Any other suggestions?

Growing~

2008-06-05T11:23:00.000+08:00

Rasanya, korang ingat my gaji is as much as the total amt of the things on my desk? kekeke jgn teka ek.. buang karen. MAC tuh dah tentu² mahal. Sungguh FAT hope nak dpt gaji sebusat itu.

So I got the flat skrin monitor and place MAC cpu nicely at my side. My 3-tier trays had shifted to the other side. Now, isnt it much neater? Oh that thing on top with kain Ungu ala Barney is my RODE Podcaster microphone. Senjaga tutup, musim sejuk gini kan. In fact, initially I was scared to expose Rod [nama timangan, dekni jantan kot] but it's ridiculous to put him at the back of my Dell skrin. And another reason was I am afraid that it might get stolen. Alhamdullillah so far, it's doing fine there, iye tak Rod? ngehngehngeh. Oh itu Superman not mine.. That belongs to the person opposite on my right plak.

Oh Oh Oh... latest news... I have to bid gdbye to my DELL skrin and CPU who had gone thru all these yrs with me. Thank you for being the guinea pig when I downloaded all those songs and somewhat u might get some virus..errrkkkk.... Come nxt Monday, we're gonna have new PCs ngehngehngeh ACER i think. Oh I've yet to print out pictures of wat I wanted coz my printer at home, refused to print out the 4R size photo paper. chettt buang karen! apeke heh dia nak tuu? mintak tukar baru jugak? adeehhhhh~ nxt week jugak nak kasi hias my area.. cheh wats wrong with me 2dae?

Paman [my boss], was quite bz telling the secretary to clear here and there. The reason this MAC was pushed nearer to my side was coz nxt Monday, a new designer will be joinin the force. So he'll be sitting nxt or membontot me ler... That makes me the only rose amongst the thorns in the designer grp... ihikks. walopon ku bukan designer pong.

2mr plak, there'll b another person joinin and that person will sit opposite on my left and come nxt Monday too, 3 more ppl [exclude the designer] will follow suit. Department is growing for sure, thanx to the new CEO cum our indirect boss jugak. He's the one who's bringin' all his kuncu² ni ler.

I heard that the training rm behind me is gonna b demolished and make way for my dept.. Biar betiK.. don tell me the CEO is gonna sit ard here mah. Can he sit still at the EJEKETIP area nun jauh sana? Kang kat sini dorang cuma buat normal cubicle mah. sheeeeeeessh.

anyways...

p/s: smlm dinner ngidam mkn mee soto jadi bawak semua org rumah [only elms, elly, mak and me jek] gi Bedok Corner mueekekkekeke. Baru nari mood baik

The Ahmad's~

2008-06-03T08:21:00.001+08:00

The time showed 5 mins to 4pm. After we managed to find a parking lot, it started to drizzle. Then got heavier and heavier. Was the weather welcoming us? heh... thot so too.
Most of them were under the shelter and some were bz bbq-ing and the rest were helping to hold on to the canvas to prevent water entering the BBQ pit. It was hot under that canvas. Even my 3rd bro complained that he might shed some weight after that.

Posing sideways do help to prevent attention of the bulging tum²

My 3rd bro in orange T and my 4th bro beside him.. Bz as a bumble bee

Fantastico'

The famous all time fave [and this time round it's sure enuf]; ~~bedengdeng~~ dengdeng

The weather sided us. In less than an hr, it stopped Alhamdulillah. And everyone crowded the BBQ pit area to grab the food available. Orh, for the Ahmad's, self service ahhh and chope which one u want and they'll set aside for u. Make sure u're there to grab them once it's done.

There's lots of food available at the shelter area and we do help ourselves once we stepped there. Lapar babe, dah la ujan sebegini.

Thanx to the aunties and cik-kak²s yg rajin buat kuih muih tuh semua jugak.

3 out of 4 granddaughters of the Masri's.
1 of 3 grandsons were there, playing with his kenet pakciks.

This was mine. I waited patiently for it to cook. Sausages filled with cheese.

The exciting part came in late evening. Look at how many games they had to play!

"Lengan aku ketat tau. Tolong tarik tali ni!"

"Haaa sape suro pakai double layer. Kan 2 org dah kene tolong" "Jgn tersalah tarik plak ek!!"

"Pakai sleeveless senang. Lobang besar. Kan nak pegi peknik, tak yah pakai lelawa"

Nota: Ada juga kaum Adam yg berasa ngilu bahagian dada nyer sebab tali tuh asik² tertarik² ngehngehngeh...

Game Master giving out instructions - better listen properly hor.

The Amazing Race! which consists a few tasks.

My 3rd SIL, the expert of ngayam ketupats.

My 1st SIL, who is standing, helping out fellow members. She and my eldest brada' mmg jarang ler main game. But not for that day. Very supportive and I was surprised. Memang patot ler ujan pong!

I wonder where's this place is.

The cousins brainstorming the puzzle.

The only group that managed to grabbed a Malaysia 1 cent coin.

Tiba masanya melompat dlm gunnysack. This game is the all time fave esp yg bdn nyer kooossmangat. Ada juga tersembam berlutut ke tanah.

Nota: Wanita berbaju biru tuh sambil mengambil video sambil tergelak dan bersorak kuat! Kalau boleh dia pon nak join!

Toing toing toing.... Pocong di siang hari.

Ramai juga spectators dtg melihat kekecohan keluarga ini. Ada juga yg bersorak kesukaan. Sib baik tak payah bayar tiket, iye!

========== Break time =========

Dinner served. That was my Ikan Ayam². "Saya suka well done."

Pineapple and Marshmallow ni dorang ala campfire gituq. Konon mcm omputeh.

Haaa.. mcm explicit content dorang tertonggeng gitu. This is Horse Riding.
They have to transfer the balls to the bag held by another team member.

"Cepat cepat eh.. Aim btul²..."

It's night time and the camera didnt work quite well. I couldnt see what I'd recorded in the video and snapped using the dg cam.

We thot they'll just fit for 2. Tgk lah size elms hahahha. But we were amazed that he can squeezed himself into that. Sib baik tak bunyiknya praaaaaaaakk. Kalau tak nak juga kene suro Cikgu Rose anak pakcik menjahit.

Strategy is to walk accordingly. Left foot then right hor!

Selagi boleh selit, kita selitkan. Lelagi kalau bebudak senonet ginik. Mempercepatkan pemoresesan.

They are preparing for the tug of war. Gloves were provided but many didnt make use of them coz it's slippery.

If I am not mistaken, the only game that was not played was the Fear Factor. The last gathering that we had, one of the pakciks yg sungguh ingat dia bley telan semua, had to muntah kedarah telur asin hahahahaha. Itulah pakcik perot buncit saya. In a few mths time I shall challenge him; "Whose tummy is the biggest?"

The clock oredi strike 1030pm and we were still in the high mood. We were the most noisiest bunch of all. We thanked all the crowds who had enjoyed the entertainment. Then we had Bingo and other awards to the Senior Citizen .. eh salah.... Warga Emas. Oh some of the relatives were fr KL too. They were told to come down to join the fun activities available. And 1 of them was awed to see the crowds.

Fun filled activities and great food. and by 1230am, we ~~close shop~~ bid gdbyes!

p/s: some makciks² told me not to publish their pretty faces kihkihkihkih.

I was thaaaat close larh!~

2008-06-02T07:21:00.000+08:00

aahhh ermm I cant jump in excitement now. I feel a bit awkward now. I cant get my mind off thinkin bout it. The pair! We had a long walk. And we went back satisfied but there's this magnetic wave that kept pulling me. But I need to be practical bout it. If I could, I would juz hug them or sleep with them or even better, bring them to the office and display them on my desk.

I am thaaat close. 98% to be precise. And eLms was encouraging me to have them - to buy them. And a further discount of 15% off! I wish I wish I can hide them in the bag or juz x-changed them with my worn out flats. And the only size left was 10. Oh now u noe how gigantic and so-omputeh my feet is yach! It's not easy to buy shoes of my size and if there is, it would cost a bomb for a nice, sleek and chic' shoes.

Dragging ourselves to Sg Xpo Hall 7 were dreadful. It was at the other side of the Xpo mind you. When we'd done our shopping, we walked like penguins. Ellia was not spared too, she asked Ayah Mimi, w/ that cheeky malu face to have her carried.

Yes yes!! My eyes were set at Guess shoes; Golden Brownish. It was bout 6inches and I grabbed it and wore it. Ahhhh it so gd to be that tall. A lil' more centimetres and I'll be as tall as my 1.8m eLms. To my surprise, it fits! The last few pairs of size 10. For that high, I can normally wear a size 9 coz it's like menjinjit-style and it's a covered shoes, hokay. I had one fr BATA which I had worn twice. But this sexy babe really seduce me. But I had to let it slip off my mind. Think bout it. I will be able to wear them like in 2009. And with a baby in tow, errrr at least I can have an excuse to let eLms carry the baby yach, I doubt that 6inches chica will do any justice. I bid the shoes gdbye... very sad sad lorh~ And now, gila bayang. Still lingering in my mind. vad to do, mengkudu! I so miss high heels shoes.

Kapo, Kapur, Kapoor~

2008-05-30T14:31:00.002+08:00

I need help.

Kapur that our neneks and atoks used for sireh and our mothers' used it to fry banana fritters - how do u translate it in English? Or there isnt any translation.

Me and 2 other colleagues were talking in the car and suddenly I mentioned bout kapur that I used during my confinement days. I think most of u must have practise them during the confinement days or the best juz a practise to easily loose those baby fats.

The 2 colleagues of mine were shocked that I used the big green lime [skin is rough texture] and kapur to shed off the baby fats in the tum². Whell that pt of time, my tummy suddenly has visible dark marks horizontally near the navel area. So the makcik and kakak urut suggested to cut the green lime into half and smudge some kapur on it and juz spread them on the tum². Squeeze out the lime juice while spreading. Then take a lengthy cloth and wrap ur tum² tightly. Corset for tum² oso possible but have an xtra cloth to put in between so that u will not dirtied ur precious and expensive corset.

So the reason for kapur is like a bleach to me heh.... One of my fren who was getting married that time asked me for a tip. Coz she told me her armpit had unsightful black marks - i wonder y too. So I juz gave her that tip. Err seems to work la but not that much coz she didnt do it religiously. Furthermore, it's nearing to her wedding day and she was bz... pfffttt~

I wonder if it's the cause of that roll-on thingy or she put on talcum powder on her not-dry-armpit. *shrugs*

Then again, how to translate it. If no translation, will tell them to say KAPUR at kedai mamak sua!

edit as @ 2:23pm

As I was surfing ard, stumbled upon this.... also known as Lime Stone Paste

She's happy and I am too~

2008-05-30T10:57:00.000+08:00

I was shocked when I accidentally changed the SCV channels to Channel 34; Playhouse Disney. Hey! I could watch it! But I didnt even subscribe it. But I let it be and will see how long will it showcase. Funny that I didnt even receive any news fr Starhub [ I thot!]. Then came in the bill the following week. No xtra charges xcept for the GST increament a few mths back larh. Aiyoo fr $97++ to $100++ chett.. ni semua gara² Sports Channels. Heh, but I wont terminate it as I am freak at watching Wrestling; regardless TNA or WWE.

So i have the urge to check my email the other day. Bertepek emails that I have not read. Kerkerkerker. So this particular email fr Starhub saying that Playhouse Disney is added for FREE... muahahahaha tak sia² tak subscribe the other time, maleeehhh. Now, I am wishing upon a star, that Asian Food Channel and Discovery Home & Health will be added FREE too.

Since the toddler loves to watch it, I let her. But she nearly conquered it the whole day. Especially nite time when the daddy wants to watch it. While elms wanted to have his bath, I will change it to her fave channel then he said out loud,

"alaaaaaaaaa, apesal tukar cartoon."

I shushed him and said that I had given her the time frame. Of coz she will get all monyok when I changed it back. But I coaxed her larh.

This morning while I was preparing to head off to work, she was awake. She accompanied me during my make-up session, sat and chat along. Since she's well-behaved and the other day, Mak told me to change to that particular channel so that she can easily switch on the TV, I excitedly rewarded her that. Her face lighted up and quickly helped me to switched on the TV.

She's too excited till she 4got to salam and bid me gdbye immediately. hahahaha.... I am glad she's feeling the way she was dis morning. I am!

My review~

2008-05-29T07:33:00.000+08:00

I was preoccupied in the kitchen that I missed out 2 bands performed. Lucky me, I hurried to watch it and managed to catch the other 3 groups.

FATSKUNKS - that guy on the xtrreme left looks very familiar; ITE DOVER is it?

I did enjoy their performance... Overall ok la since the 1st performance that they've made.

CUCU DATOK MERAH

From the very 1st episode, they seem to have lotsa fans out there. But quite a disappointment for the vocalist side. And ydae's performance a bit dreadful larh. I think dorang ni over-rated lorh... The vocalist hanchusss! If it's gonna go on like this and if they were the Final 3, I have no surprise for it~ [cheh mcm mana nyer pro ajer bebual]

HELVEN

From 6 to 4 ppl. Wooohoo, I really love those 3 Gothic Jap Anime image that they portray. Nice hair colour which suit their skintone. And if the camera did a close up, i think their face is smooth than mine! adeeehhh... Look at the guy 2nd fr left, ada iras² Jamal Abdillah sei or a handsome Vampire ngehngehngeh.... But a bit of disappointment larh. The vocalist oso hanchus this time round! And bad bad choice of song. Mahu kene feel babe! But seriously, I hope Helven will not be voted out nxt week ah... aiyooooo hanchus hati Bibik if I didnt get them to perform ngehngehngeh.

So waiting for nxt week. One of my ITE skoolmates, fr Rancour will be performing. ngehngehngeh lagik. And wait! I even cant wait the performance fr the vocalist of Knightwings. aduuuiiii dah mcm rockers early 90s. His high pitch very the nyarings mcm cengkeriks.....~

Rain Rain come again Everyday~

Ho Ho Ho.. dats wat I am wishing for. I cant get enough of the chill weather. I rather have it cold or juz gloomy day will be fine. Oh I better pray that it'll not rain this Sat as we're goin for the family BBQ at East Coast.

Rainy days somehow reminds me the days that I was at the cold country. I wish I can stay longer and perhaps forever. But I cant have snow in Singapore. If there is, well, u're gonna noe what's gonna happen nxt! God forbid!

I wish I wish it's gonna be rainy nowadays~~

Now, lemme rewind back the days elly loves and still loving this song. She loves the song fr Barney too which he sang the rain song. Even I am hook onto it. Ekkhhh, do u noe that I used to hate Barney but somehow not now. It really teaches elly to sing various songs which I tink I cant do so.

Presenting to you, Elly-hanna with the song Umbrella, in July 2007. Oh it's impromptu la. Some of u might have watched it in my Video section or at the youtube. Do enjOy again yach!

My Rajin [NOT!]~

2008-05-28T08:08:00.000+08:00

And so this is gonna be my lunch! I have been craving for this for quite a long time. It started out when kak Su said that she had Maggi for lunch at her office. And so I bought 2 cups noodle fr Myojo. I am not a fan of maggi-kosong. I totally 4gotten to ceplok the egg and throw in some veggies that I bought ydae too. OK la. Let's give it a go.

I have been so rajin [not!] mood. I always have lunch bought fr nxt door. I used to, quite often, cooked up a meal for bf or lunch. Since there's no kakis, I declare myself very lazy!. How wow like that!? I think I need to bring up my spirits back to bring some gd home-cooked meal.

p/s: he'eh this is my 3rd entry for 2dae... sungguh rajin!

About her~

2008-05-28T06:47:00.000+08:00

While playing the computer games with her, she sneezed for a few times. Then she shrieked out,"Umi Mas..... ada nii kat idong elly!" She turned and I saw mucus coming out fr her left nose. Hmmm, runny nose out of the sudden?

Soon after, her temp shot up and thanx to the Dr eLms, who was diligently revising his notes, quickly brought elly to the washroom and washed her up. Then we spread some balm lotion on her body, feet, forehead and nose. We let her sleep topless for the nite with the fan aimed at her. And so I took 1 day Childcare Leave ydae.

Her body temp went down in the morning. And it got better during the day. I teased her that I will be going back to the office since she's ok but,"no no no no... cannot. Umi Mas tak boleh pegi!" she laffed.

We are proud to be one of the parents who's lucky to have a daughter like Elly. She's not demanding and less fussy girl. She will obey what we said [to some extend]. According to Mak, she's easy to take care of. She's quite independent too.

Somehow, sometimes, we felt that she's being too pampered. But it doesnt matter to us as we think that she deserves those little non-expensive toys as a reward. Sometimes, the way she speaks might somehow hurt others. Perhaps her tone. I always reminded her not to speak that way to others and whenever I complained to her dearest Ayah Mimi, I will say it when she's there. And her Ayah Mimi will give her the relevant advises. At the end of the conversation, she will say, "Paham." ngehngehngeh...

Having Ellia and carrying her for almost 38weeks in the tum² was a breeze. Oh the 2nd child of mine, I am always having the on-and-off feeling. Lethargic! whell, every pregnancy will be different, tak gituQ?

Baby in the tum², pls ahhh behave else I will ask akaQ Elly to pok² u, u notti baby...

Top 2~

Last Saturday morning, we went to Dr MasAyu to listen to the baby's heartbeat. Heh! It's quite soft and the momentum was normal and a few seconds later, the heartbeat became fast. Elly who was with her Ayah Mimi was in silence. B4 that, she accompanied Nyai Kam in the doc's room as Nyai Kam needs to have her regular check-ups. Then she stayed again to be with us after our number is called. I have 2 more sessions with the Dr till she has to give me away.

Now, I have listed out the names of the gynae situated in GlenE. OK OK, so I live in the East and EastShore Hospital is very practical and is very logical. But I am bias [as being a Western-er for such a long time]. Anyhooos, I prefer GlenE, it's like a hotel room, nice and cosy. Another reason why I chose GlenE again coz it's near my workplace. Even eLms' who's working at the Gulf War can easily zoom out to GlenE faster than to EastShore, ada paham? InsyaAllah, nearer tot he due date, I will stay at my mum's, I think, like the other time.

Last year, I was about to have my pap smear checked with my prev gynae. But tak sempat nak jumpa, I gotta noe that she juz passed away. I heard from my x-kolig that she suffered fr cancer. Dr MasAyu who's gynae was the late Dr Mitra, was saddened by the news too. And so now, I am [again] sourcing out for female gynae at GlenE. And so I am down with 2. I saw lotsa mixed comments fr the forummers but hey, I hope I chose the best! I hate head-hunting larh.

OOOoooops!~

Sorry peeps, seems that I'd accidentally brought over all the past 2yr's entries to Multiply here. Errrr juz ignore the entries larh.. pei panjang lebar I'd edited liaoz...

So my cross-blogging works! Huuraaayy! but mine was fr Blogspot to Multiply. Now I am trying to revert the process back.

MAAP MAAP!!

He's the MAN!~

2008-05-22T16:44:00.004+08:00

And so he won! David Cook is the winner for American Idol 2008. Hey it doesnt matter who won this time round as I think both Davids deserve it... BUT.... yes there's a BUT here... I really want Cook to win as he appeals to the audience more. No doubt Archuleta sings well. Knowing bout that he won 12 MILLION VOTES, mind ya!

Now now, Archuleta's fans.... settle down. It doesnt matter again as I know that he will be selling his albums well too. Heh... look at the rest of the contestants who joined AI previously. They did well!

Simply Awesome!!!!

And speaking bout MAN... whhell, to ALL MAN UTD fans... enjoy huh!

Saw this at one of my bro's msn: Glory glory Man United, Glory glory Man United~~~ ok la I cant remember the lyrics that well. If u wanna noe, the Masri's has always been a fan to Man Utd. Oh for eLms, he's the Liverpool fan larh. During our younger years at Clementi, we always shout or I make it YELLED as loud as we can wen Man Utd scored a goal. And the whole of Clementi Ave 2 will filled w/ roared fr various blocks. tgh mlm, nyah! rasanya momok pon lari lintang pukang terpilanjat...~ Aiyah... those were the days lah.

BAAAHHHHHHH~
