It Works Like Magic!
I'm quite intrigued by this "akar fatimah". It really bloomed you noe! Yesterday, I started off with putting it in a small Ikea container. About an hour later, the "akar" seemed to outgrow the container. So, I changed to a medium container. And I tot that was the end of it. A few hours later, I realized that the water level seems to be reduced....so I juz topped up some more water. Much to my amazement, the "akar" outgrew the medium sized container! I had to change to a very big container in the end. Heh, it didn't bloom much after that. I guess that's the maximum it cld bloom. Here's a pic of it:
Compare how much it has bloomed from this:
Amazing huh?? Ok, enuff about tat magical "akar". Hmmm, I'm going to go to URA building today. I have to view some exhibits and collect some information for my assignment. Let me see....my assignments can't pick a better date for date dues. I've CED434 assignment due on 9th Feb. I've already told hubby that he has to hand it in for me as there is no way I can submit the assignment on my own. I've CTL201 essay due on 15th Feb. And I've got a midterm exam somewhere in middle of Feb too. Gosh, I guess I'm more anxious about my assignments than the childbirth itself. So, if my blog collects dust...pardon me yah! With assignments and the baby....I doubt I can blog as often as I am now. See....even a tai-tai must work hard hor!
Alritey....I wanna get ready to go to URA building....u peepz take care. And oh yeah, thankz for the well wishes. I really appreciate and need them. Do look out for my sms...(heh, to those whom I have your number of coz!)

It's Comfy In There
Am in my 38th week of pregnancy now. Had my gynae appt this morning. Based on the CTG report, the lil one is still feeling too comfy in there. So, the lil one is not going to come out soon, I guess. Niway, had the "fingering" session...and my gynae was so pleased to inform me that I am 1-cm dilated. *Eeekkks....!* Anyway, I will have to be back for another appointment next Wed. My gynae predicted that by then the lil one should be almost ready to come out.
Went for breakfast with the hubby. Heh, supposed to go for lectures after which. But in the end, I succumbed to the calling of my bed! *lol* I went back home to sleep instead! It's ONLY lecture after all.
Oh yeah, Kak Rida passed me her "akar fatimah". I am supposed to soak it in water and wait for it to bloom. Errr....how is it supposed to look when it's bloomed huh?
Tat was how it looked like when I just soaked it. Maybe I should start comparing it a few days later. Hmmm, was told to also drink the water and use some of it to rub on my tummy. It's said for easier delivery. Oh well, I know nuts about tis ting.
Yippeeee....I have no classes tomoro...and that means I can have the whole bed once hubby gets to work....teeheeehee! Alritey, I wanna go and play my Sudoku. Heh, hubby bought me the handheld electronic Sudoku. I shall pack that in my E-Bag as well. :P

Sungei Buloh, here we come!
Couldn't sleep last nite as I was so afraid of oversleeping and hence miss the bus. Heh, see just like a small kid excited to go on an excursion. Well, it beats having to stay in class and listen to the tutor's ramblings for 2 hours!
Set off to McDonalds first to buy breakfast so that myself and Baby A won't go hungry. Took a cab down to NIE and met Liza and Shanaz there. Liza was more excited than I was. She msged me at 5.40 am juz to tell me that she's proud to be in the first train. Duh!
Reached Sungei Buloh at ard 7.45 am and we had fun exploring the various types of mangrove plantation. Oh yeah, we were greeted by monitor lizard, as seen in the above picture. Our lecturer gave us an explanation of why and how those plantations are able to survive under such harsh conditions. It was rather an eye opener.
Baby A behaved very well today. Good baby! Baby A was quiet and Mummy was able to continue the nature walk without much difficulty. Of course I felt very tired upon reaching home that I slept the moment I reached home! *lol*
I've uploaded some pics in my multiply...Do check it out: Sungei Buloh Trip. Ok need to do my tutorial for CAE201 and my readings for CED434....au revoir!

Baby A, let's go Sungei Buloh yah!
Heh, I'm bringing Baby A on a fieldtrip tomoro morning. Where you asking? Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserves. And guess what? I've to assemble in NIE Carpark 3 by 7.15 am. Siang kedamak sey! But thank god I live rather near to NIE....nampak gaya besok tahan colour merah, biru, kuning, hijau lah aku ni. Kwang kwang kwang....botak jugak kepala apek jual sayur aku tu tau! *lol* Niway, I was really looking forward to going for this fieldtrip as I had to do another CCS302 assignment. So, it's like killing 2 birds with one stone :)
Meanwhile, went for check up at Prof Mary Rauff's clinic just now. Had my CTG done. Heh, Prof Mary commented that the baby seemed happy in the tummy based on the CTG report. Heh, let you all in on a lil secret yah. I was busy doing my Sudoku book while I was strapped on to that weird device. And you know what my apek aka hubby commented? He said this:"Eh, wait ar, you do Sudoku...baby pon stress nanti. Kang heartbeat dia haywire!" I almost giggled at hubby's "theory". Hubbyku sayang...mana dpt tu theory? Awak pon dah jadi mcm sedara eh? *lol* Anyway, everything went well at the check up. Baby A is too comfy in my tummy that I don't think he/she is gonna be out yet. Errr.....ok Baby A at least let Mummy go to Sungei Buloh first yah?
On another note, I've kinda realized that I'm more enthusiastic about my studies this semester compared to last semester. I've started doing my research for my CCS302 asignment...heh, no more smoking my way thru hor! Hmmm...perhaps the thought of completing my degree programme this Dec 2006 really inspired me to go on. Well, I have many people asking me why on earth do I still take up and pursue the degree course....I shall answer here ok? Save me so much trouble....
1. For a better pay (Hmmmm we work just as hard as the graduate teachers but we're earning peanuts as compared to them! And their chances of promotion is definitely higher than us, no matter how incompetent they are!) 2. I've always visioned myself to be taking a family photo with me in the graduation gown and mortarboard. 3. I want to be an inspiration to my students and children. 4. I want to prove to my sickening aunt that I still can have the degree even though NUS rejected me years ago! 5. I just like to go to school and learn! (Heh, Baby A can you take after this trait of Mummy?)
Hmmmm....ok, I'm tired. I wanna rest and watch Love Concierge. Heh, that's the programme where hubby left me for 10 days to go to Japan. I envy him man!

Fickle Lil One!
Was experiencing contractions yesterday afternoon after my CED434 lesson. Took note of the timings and realized tat there was an interval of half an hour. Felt kinda nervous cos I really tot that the lil one was coming out. Heh, but the contractions disappeared after that. Thank goodness, I still have my assignments to think about hor. I'm even looking forward to my field trip to Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve nxt Wed.
Anyway, the contractions came back at nite. But I wasn't too worried cos hubby had come home from work...and the fact that he's beside me kinda comforted me a lil. And as expected, my lil one is one fickle baby! I believe the lil one is still undecided as to whether he/she should come out or not. Or...perhaps he/she is deciding if he/she should share the same birthday as his/her tok?? Heh, me and my crappish theory!
Hmmmm....haven't been updating my blog as I kinda run out of ideas of what to blog. Plus I've been busy with my NIE lessons....like I said, I still have assignments and projects to think about. Ok...got to go for my Science tutorial. Tata all!

From Baby H to Baby A
Hmmmm....I've actually wanted to name my lil one Baby H....but as I mentioned in one of my posts, tis fren of mine, Zana has already named her child Baby H...exactly the same spelling as I wanted it to be. So, in the end, me and hubby has to search for another name yet again. This time round, we've decided to name the lil one Baby A.
Perfect alphabet! My lil one will definitely not be Register 20 and below when he/she goes to school. Oh yah...and sorry lil one, Mummy and Ayah has decided only ONE name for you. Not like your ayah or mummy who has 2 names, which in the end was being shortened. :)
I am juz praying that none of my frens who are giving birth are earlier than me is giving their babies the Baby A name again. Else, I'll have to start digging for names again....tough job aye!
Meanwhile life as a full time student in NIE has been a lil boring. And I am still intrigued by the behaviour of my lil one. The lil one wld be asleep before my lessons start. But the moment my lesson starts, be it lecture or tutorial, the lil one will start kicking me around. Hmmmmm....my lil one, kamu pon nak belajar eh? Tak payah...nanti kamu dah keluar...hah belajar jerlah...takde org larang. Time tu kalau kamu tak belajar...mummy kamu kejar satu Bukit Batok noh!
Oh yah....I'm having lotsa Braxton Hicks nowadays. I guess I muz really inform my gynae on my nxt appt with her on Wednesday. Ok, I need to go and do some readings to prepare myself for my next lesson. Tata for now...:)

It's Getting Nearer
Juz realized the baby is gonna be out in 4 weeks time. How time flies. Everything seemed like yesterday. Me getting married....and me getting preggy. Was juz told by hubby to finalise the e-bag as soon as possible. And guess what I told him:"Alah, lagik siang ar...more or less benda dah ada per." Heh, and hubby rebutted back and said:"U put in ur cardigan already ar? U put in ur baju nak balik already ar?" Heh, and I cldn't resist smiling. Hehe, hubby noes me best...yeah the procrastinating me! Guess I better start getting down to business before that apek nags at me again. *grins*
Went to my mum's place yesterday to send over the baby's tub, toiletries and some more clothings. Haha, my mum's place is like so full of baby's stuffs that even my lil sis is complaining. Kekeke, sis...there'll be more stuffs to come hor! Niway, influenced my mum and sis to do the Sudoku puzzle too! *giggles* Oh yah, my sis drove me back home yesterday! Yiiipeeeeeeeee I finally sat in the car my sista drive! Haha, but she really looked like a deer on an elephant. You see, my dad juz changed his car from Kia Spectra to Hyundai Tucson....and my lil sis is small sized. So she really looked tiny behind the wheels...! Heh, niway I juz love my daddy's car! When I've made enuff money I mite consider a car....for now....a Super 4 is my dream..:D
For those who have no idea what a Super 4 look like...lemme enlighten you yah. Here it is:
This is of course the latest version. I don't quite like the bontot of this bike. It looks so itik serati. Hmmm....maybe I'm gonna settle for Version S or V-tech I. Heh, hubby has already consented to me riding again! Yippeeeeee! :)
Ok...I've got to go for tutorial in a while....au revoir everyone! :D

Tai-tai's First Day
Heh, would have been in school if not for the lil one inside me. As mentioned earlier on, I've taken early maternity leave so that explains why I can't tell you how's my first day at school like. :P
So, what did I do the whole day u ask? Ok...let's start with the morning. Morning was spent with hubby...making a trip to NUH for an appointment with the gynae. Was disappointed though as my gynae was on leave...so I was handled by a MALE gynae. Hmmm, not that I have anything against male gynaes but the one I had juz now was so KASAR nak mampos! He did the vaginal swab tingy...and mind you, he really gave a very painful swab! Kalau ikutkan hati gue...mau saja gue tendangi gynae itu! He also did the routine check to listen for the baby's heartbeat. Well, the lil one's doing fine. He pressed my tummy too...to see if the baby is disengaged yet. Haha, not yet lah. After all I'm due on 4th Feb mah! Kwang kwang kwang....asal korang yg tak sabar noh??
After the trip to the gynae, had lunch date with the apek jual sayur...hehhe my hubby of coz! Did I tell u...I love calling him apek jual sayur?? Tak bedek, kalau dia senyum, mata dia trus ilang! Tak caya....pi tgk gbr dia! Hehehe....don be angry hor hubby...I love you very much no matter how apek you look like! *grins*
Went straight to NIE/NTU for my lecture. Boring one I muz say. Hmmm, I'm confused with my lil one. During the lecture, the lil one kept kicking me non-stop. Did the lil one like the lecture or not? Haha, for sure the mummy didn't! Rushed to NIE bookshop after lecture to get my textbook, kononnyer balik dah nak start my readings so that I can be prepared for the tutorial on Thurs....Malangnyer, cita2 tinggal cita2....I've yet to touch the book! Heh, except to put on its book cover! *lol*
Oklah....wanna go and print some stuffs for my lecture tomoro...yet another stupid day. My lecture starts at 8.30 tomoro morning...and I had to get up so early in the morning juz to attend that ONE bloody lecture every Wednesday. Joker sey! Tata to all...and don envy me hor! :P

Au Revoir 2005, Bienvenue 2006!
2005 had just came to an end yesterday at the strike of midnite. What have I accomplished within that year?
1. Became Mrs Faiz on 19th March 2005 2. Got the POSITIVE sign on the pregnancy test kit on 2nd May 2005. 3. Moved to our own love nest in June 2005, a day before we went for our belated honeymoon in Bangkok. 4. First came face to face with my lil one on 24th June 2005. The lil one was 7 weeks at that time. 5. Knew the gender of my lil one on 20th Sept 2005.
On the whole, it had been a good year. Though there were some glitches and hiccups..
Niway...I'm looking forward to 2006. What's in store u asking?
1. Expecting the arrival of the lil one on 4th Feb 2006...insya-Allah. Don't worry I'll sms u guys when the baby is out yah! 2. My long leave from work....total of 5 months! Hur hur hur... 3. My full time study for Semester 2 in NIE/NTU. 4. My degree qualification by end of Dec 2006....I'm certainly looking forward to wearing that gown...and oh yes the MORTARBOARD...which has been my inspiration all along. 5. A request to transfer to another school....with the degree, it'll be better prospect for me I hope.
Ok, got to go...wishin all of u a happy new year yah!
