I'm Shifting...

As of tomorrow, I'm shifting my blog to a new address. I'm sick and tired of squabbles formed in the blogging world. Why can't people understand tat this blog is solely mine and I can say whatever I want....

To be honest....I'm utterly disappointed with the blogging world. Those who wanna noe my new address....email me. To all frens whom I've gotten to know in the blogging world....it's been nice knowing you. To all foes I've made...I'm sorry but I'm juz an ordinary human being....

Adios....

Happy 3 Months, darling

Firstly....happy 3 months to my darling, Atikah! What is she good at you asking? She's good at teasing people for sure. Well, she has this habit of sucking her hands. So each time she does that, I will pull her hands away slowly and give her a firm NO. So, yesterday, she tried to put her hands into her mouth again. I turned and told her:"Atikah, NO!" She pulled her hands away and smiled at me! After a few seconds she repeated her action and again, I gave her a NO. And guess what she did? She chuckled at me! Hmmmm...she must have been thinking that was a kind of game that I was playing with her.

And yes, she loves "testing the water" first nowadays. When she's scolded by me, she will firstly look at my face and give me her toothless grin...if I smile back at her, she'll return tat smile....but if I give her a stern face, she'll "terbalikkan" her lips and start to wail soon after. Hmmmm....she's smart in the wrong ways man!

Speaking of Baby Einstein VCD/DVD series, I tried the Baby Bach title on her. Errr, Hana, sad to say she was only attentive for 15 minutes! After that, she start to cry out for attention. Aiyoh.....tis gal has very short attention span lah.

Hmmm....and mind you, she's beginning to be like Imelda Marcos....kasut dia punya berlambak!! Haha...ni semua gara2 mak dia dgn bapak dia yg pantang tgk kasut cute! *lol*

Oh I didn't want Atikah to be on pacifier....but now I'm starting to get a bit pissed when ppl tell me:"Eh, kasi anak kau puting lah. Dia carik puting lah." or "Trykan lah anak kau puting." Arlowwwwww!! Anak org aku skit pon tak kacau. Asal bila anak aku ada jer umat muhammad yg nak memandai2...! Thank goodness my mum is also against pacifier! Somebody even said tat she read somewhere tat pacifiers help to soothe a child. Yes, I know tat but tat doesn't mean without pacifiers a child cannot be soothed. What a theory sey!

Ok...me wanna eat lah...hungry man! Tata to all!

Progress Package!

Ok, so the money is in. And so everyone has heard. So what did I spend it on? Chet...tu pon nak bilang ke? Anyway, I bought a gadget for Atikah. Heh, a gadget tat I've always dreamt of buying for my own child....and tat dream was like eon years ago....way before I got married. In fact, tat dream was way b4 I knew my hubby. *lol*

Ok....I got Atikah the Little Touch Leap Pad for babies....well it costs $99.95 originally...but Toys R' Us was selling it for only $79.95. So I grabbed it...

Hmmm...then saw tat the catridge and book costs $23.95...and again I grabbed tis as the others were kinda unsuitable for Atikah's age...

Proceeded to Kiddy Palace at Jurong Point after tat and saw the catridge tat I wanted very much...and I grabbed it....

Haha....so in total Atikah's got herself a new toy and 2 books cum catridges to go with it.....baik sungguh kan Mummy dia ni? *lol*

Oh yah, in my anger and boredom yesterday...I started to play ard with Paint Shop Pro and I created this....

And of coz.....tat's for Atikah:)
Hmmmm.....my life seems to be revolving ard Atikah nowadays...I may sound boring at times...well...but I'm so the kemaruk with my lil gal...so kasi chance skit lah eh? *lol*

Oh yah...speaking of Atikah...she went to Neptune Clinic to be circumcized and to have her ears pierced yesterday....Now....she looks like a gal...no more exact Ayah's replica :P

Ok I'm tired...have a nice weekend all!

2006-04-28T13:45:00.000+08:00

Damn Bloody Pissed!

I am so damn bloody pissed at somebody. It's okay if this somebody is busy with work, I understand. Or perhaps...I've tried to understand. It's ok that this somebody doesn't have a fixed off day. Again, I've tried to understand. But what I don't understand is.....why the HELL must this SOMEBODY neglect us even on this somebody's OFF day!??!!!

Reason u gave...u're not satisfied with the job produced by tat stupid motherf**ker assholic son of a bitch! HALLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......Till when must I endure all this crap from tat motherf**ker S.O.B. My patience is running low.....You promised tat we shall go out today....but in the end..u told me u've got to rush off to correct the BLOODY MESS that someone else has created. DAMMIT man! It's not the first time tat S.O.B expects someone else to clear up his mess ok! I'm warning you....one of these days...I AM GOING TO MAKE HELL OUT OF TAT S.O.B's life! Don't think I'm Mdm Goody-2-shoes...with the tudung who'll nvr kick up a fuss. I just refused to! If I ever kick up a fuss....things will turn DAMN bloody SOUR! But I think my patience is thinning very fast.....To tat S.O.B: CLEAR UP YOUR OWN MESS n LEAVE US ALONE!

It's ok....I will bring Atikah out MYSELF! WHO NEEDS U MAN! Go and entertain tat motherf**ker S.O.B lah...tat's more important mah!

Dammitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt! I wish I had a bike to go for a speeding spree........N I am still mad at tat motherf**ker S.O.B....I told u nvr provoke a sleeping volcano! F**K You!

Busy No More..Bring On The Dates, Puhleazz!

With effect from 27th April 2006, I am officially free! Free from assignments, free from exams and yeppz, free from work! Errr....till 15th May only though. *lol*

Yappz...I've finished my semester in NIE. Alhamdulillah I weathered thru the semester despite my heavily pregnant period and my giving birth period. Hmmm I've no confident of passing one module though...tat is CTS201. Kwang kwang kwangz! Haha, my coursemates will know why...cos the whole class felt we cldn't pass!

CAE201 was a breeze....oh yah on tat day of my exam which was yesterday, Ayah drove me to NIE. Atikah followed too...she was in the car. She cried after sitting in the car seat for quite some time. So I carried her...guess what? She "gumur" on my hand dah! I was like wiping her "gumur" with many wet tissues cos I wouldn't want to enter the exam hall smelling of gumur mah. Then Ayah said:"Itu dia kasi kau berkat!" I smiled and kissed her goodbye. True enuff, whatever topics I spotted (Yeah..u heard me rite...I spotted...too lazy to learn everything..hur hur hur) came out. Hmmmm so is her "gumur" a lucky charm? Lucky charm, anyone?

Anyway, I did my first daring attempt last Sat. I brought Atikah out ALONE! Heh, where to you asking? City Hall....to meet darling Auntie Mahdiah and Uncle Barney. *lol* It was alright and I went home feeling proud. Even told hubby tat I'll bring Ikah out more often with or without him. Hik hik hik!

Oklah...I wanna eat before the lil one wakes up...meanwhile those who wanna date me...pls do so! Cos' I'm a super duper boring mama now!

2006-04-18T20:13:00.000+08:00

Stagnant?

I'm updating the blog less and less often now. Partly cos I've been very very busy. Even when I do update it's all about Atikah. Hmmmm beginning to sound boring sometimes.

Well, Atikah had visitors 2 days in a row. Yesterday, my ex-colleagues Nisha & Marlina came over. Haha, Nisha I still tink u're the noisiest among the 3 of us. As usual when 3 married women stayed together...sometimes the talk gets a lil kinky! *lol* Nevertheless, thankz for coming and thankz for that perfect weaning set you guyz got for her :)

As for today, Atikah was visited by Kak Rida, Thamrin & Yayan. Hehe....me and Kak Rida talked and talked. Haha, our stories never seem to end! What were the 2 kids doing while we talked? Well, dorang dah belayar dah! Hahaha...pi Dubai agaknyer. And they were not alone of coz...toddlers n infants are not allowed to travel alone mah! So, Thamrin soon accompanied them. Haha...bagus jugak...me & Kakak were not bothered so we continued our mummy stories. So, to Kakak & fmly...thank you for tat Winnie The Pooh gift set of bottles and et cetera. Yeah another 2 Pooh bottles to add to Ikah's collection! Yipeeeeeeeeeee! Oh did I tell you, she has a Pooh bear rug in her room? How could u not know..the mummy is an ardent fan of Pooh bear mah! :D

On another note...I've succesfully shed off all the weight I put on during my pregnancy! In fact I lost more than my pre-pregnancy weight...Hehe...no wonder my colleagues said that I am definitely slimmer tan I was b4 I was pregnant. Secrets u asking me huh? Errr...I undergo a tough pantang regime ok! I only drink like half a cup of water everyday. And the food of cos noting fanciful thus I didn't have much appetite. Haha....I used to grumble at my mum...but I tink I have to thank her for it man! Exercise? Hmmm...the only exercise I did was to walk to my mum's place which is like 2 bus stops away from mine....almost everyday when I had to send Atikah (I still had to go for classes in NTU mah at tat time). Oh yah...n not forgetting tat flight of stairs! Heheh...those who had come to my house u'll know what I mean...*lol*. I'm tinking of joining belly dancing lah...to lose the extra babatz on my tummy which has yet to be shed off man! Hmmmm since when did I become a vainpot? *grins*

Ok...I need to work on my final project...so c ya later! And to Mahd, yeah I'm hoping to meet u tis Saturday...:D

A pleasant weekend

It was indeed a fruitful weekend, well-spent with my loved ones. On Saturday, I had a family date with hubby and my lil Amoy. We went to Orchard Road after my class. I was happy tat Atikah wasn't as cranky as before. In fact, she could now sit in the stroller for at least half an hour. Heh, mind you my gal was overwhelmed by the crowd. She kept turning her head to the rite and left...and her eyes kept shifting too! Haha! Went to Forum....it's really a kiddies paradise. But kinda expensive..I saw the Snappy book tat I bought from NIE library. Was so shocked as it was selling for $29.90 at one of the bookshops at Forum. I only bought it for $9.50! Triple the price man! See, hubby, when ur wife goes shopping...it doesn't means she's splurging. It simply means she's getting a better deal than usual :P From Forum, we proceeded to Wisma and let Atikah see the fishes in the aquarium. Hmmm, muz admit there's not much fishes left. Did they die or were they cooked by nearby restaurants which ran out of fish? Haha! Then went to Taka....before finally proceeding home. My lil gal was so knocked out that she slept soon after we changed her into her pyjamas. Penat jalan satu Orchard eh Kak?

On Sunday, went to wedding reception with my parents and sista. One of my distant second cousins got married...hmmm I'm not tat close tho'. Well, my mum dressed Atikah up in her Ralph Lauren dress that she got as a gift. She also dolled Atikah up wit a lovely hair band. She looks cuteeeeeeeeeee I muz admit! (Eh, bukan masuk bakul angkat sendri hor!) See for urself!

Kan, I sungguh tak bedek. She really looks adorable! I'm in love with tis lil darling of mine! Niway, she simply loves talking to my sista...her Cik Huda. See her chuckling as she's being teased by my sista.

Everytime Cik Huda speaks to her, she would be all smiles. Hmmmm, perhaps Cik Huda has been singing praises to her like:Oh, Atikah is so pretty! or Atikah is so cute lah! or Atikah is a princess, or Atikah is a pretty princess. Ishk...kembang noh anak aku yg sorang ni! Anyway, my sis is waiting for admission to her degree course so she's working part-time at IRAS office. She got her first pay and guess what? She bought for Atikah the Cookie Monster Hokey Pokey doll....Yippeeeeee!! Lucky her to have such a doting Auntie! Thank you yah sis! Errr Sis, anything for Atikah's mummy? *grins*

Ok, I actually juz came back from JB with Atikah n my parents. Oh bought some more clothings for Atikah and some cribs toys...and books as per normal. (My mum commented: Kesian anak kau...mentang2 kau cikgu...asik belikan dia buku jer! *lol*) Oh yah, bought a carpet for Atikah's room too! As an ardent fan of Winnie The Pooh, I bought the Winnie The Pooh carpet. It's only RM49.50 and the carpet is rather huge! Will take pic and upload later lah. Nak tgk Dia ar! Oh yah, for more pics of Atikah, pls click here. Nitez all!

Happy Birthday Mama!

It's my mummy's birthday today. Hmmm....I bought her a brooch while sis bought her a pair of shoes. Oh yah, I ordered cupcakes from Ayu aka Jetaime too! Will post the pics later lah ar...I'm so super duper lazy lah plus I've been busy with assignments and all. Finally, I'm left with one more assignment to do....2 quizzes and 1 major exam! *Phew* The semester is finally coming to an end!

Met up with another mummy who's also my colleague, Liza. Passed her the gift I got for her boy and she passed me Atikah's. As usual when mummies gather, we only talk stuffs pertaining to the lil ones...and yes our labour experience of coz!

Niway...people have been asking me the same old question and I'm getting sick and tired of the question. They kept asking me if I'm gonna have any cukur rambut for Atikah. Ok...the answer is a NO. Reason being.....I'm juz too busy with assignments and exam that I don tink I will have time to prepare for any cukur rambut. So, the answer is NO. Period.

Hmmmm....tis Atikah has been a model for hubby. My hubby is sooooooo kemarok taking pictures of his daughter. Errr...but tis lazy mummy has yet to upload them. Hmmm, wait till I finish the next assignment yah! I've always liked pictures taken by hubby. It's so artistically taken...unlike those taken by me. Like what I would tell hubby when he tries to teach me the art of photography:"Alah, asal nampak gambar, petik jer lah. Janji gambar kuar sudah ler!"

Hmmmm....I'm kinda contemplating of getting a bike for myself. Moz probably I'll wait till I start getting my pay once again so tat I won't burden hubby. I'm also contemplating to take up Class 2 licence...for those who know nuts about tis...hehe lemme explain yah!

Class 2B -- motorcycles not exceeding 200cc (Small bikes)
Class 2A -- motorcycles 200 - 400 cc (Medium bikes)
Class 2 -- motorcycles exceeding 400cc (Big bikes)

I tot of going for Class 2 lessons juz for the fun of it...and partly also to complete my series of bike licences! Heh...right now my licence has Class 3, Class 2B and Class 2A stated....Hmmm the tot of having the words Class 2 printed on my licence is rather strong! Heheh....hubby has given his permission so chances are I might take it up. Hmmmmm many people ask me how come I don't wanna get driving licence. Aiyohhhh....I already have driving licence...in fact my driving licence is already 9 years old...compared to my bike licence which is only 4 years old. I can't afford a car...plus I don like getting stuck in jam! With a bike, I can whizzzzzzzzzz around Singapore. Heh...my butt is terribly itching to ride again! If I take up Class 2, I can ride again...:D Pfft!

Errr...I'm supposed to do my assignment actually...not update my blog. Pfft! Oh yeah, looking forward to this Saturday, hubby's taking me and Atikah out on a family date...haha....cannot leave Atikah behind lah...she's our latest and most expensive handbag hor. Meanwhile, enjoy ur weekend peepz! :D

2006-03-31T11:35:00.000+08:00

Happy 2 Months, darling!

Atikah will be turning 2 months today in a matter of hours. Hmmmm....so what's she like now? Hmmm, she can be cheerful, grumpy and even "stoic"! Boy, she's getting heavier too....she's now 4.5kg and 58 cm tall! Hur hur hur...one tall baby. Hmm muz have gotten her Ayah's genes. Oh and it's difficult to get her to sleep now esp during the day...cos she'd rather you play with her. Getting nottier I muz admit. But above all, I juz love it when she smiles and chuckles esp when I read books to her.

She, too, has her own favourite story books. Here're her favourite books..maybe cos the pictures are pop-ups and they have sound effects too :)

Look at her chuckling as she was read to...

And oh yes...did I mention that she smiles a lot nowadays....and it's certainly a joy to see her smiling :)

Anyway, I went back to Pei Tong Primary on Wednesday with hubby and Atikah. Heh, was there to distribute Atikah's belated one month goodie. Well, the school was shifting so I had to postpone bringing Ikah over as it was dusty. And...boy tis lil gal of mine really behaved well. She was carried by Auntie Hap...and she seems to be enjoying all the attention showered to her by the other teachers. And yes, she was very curious the moment we stepped into the staff room. She seemed amazed at all the lights and of course noise created by the teachers. Heheh...my kepo lil darling!

Ikah's goodies all packed in a box, ready to be distributed!

Individually wrapped Portugese egg tart...my mummy wrapped this hor!

It comes with a personalised tag with my pic on it :D

There you go...each one of Mummy's colleague gets this!

Oh yes...I'll be busy with assignments...so Mr Itsy Bitsy Spider spin some webs on my blog meanwhile yah! Atikah will pay you for that..haha! Tata all...

2006-03-24T14:26:00.000+08:00

Get Well Soon, Atikah!

Yesterday, I felt that her body was kinda warm. So hubby suggested sponging her. After sponging her, it was much better. She woke up at 3 am and was cranky. She even cried and asked to be carried...something which she never does before. Hubby carried her and entertained her. Send her to my mum's place and her body started to feel warm again. When I came back frm NIE, mum told me that her temperature seems to have risen. Took her temperature and immediately sent her to the doctor. My poor darling was too weak to even smile at me. How I miss her smiles and chuckles!

This morning, her temperature was back to normal and guess what? She's all full of smiles and chuckles again. I was finally able to hear her voice...cooing as I talked to her and read to her books. Her cough and flu is still there though.

To my lil gal...get well soon yah! Mummy & Ayah are kinda worried about you. We miss your cheerful self! :)

2006-03-22T15:34:00.000+08:00

Baby's Second Day Out

Well, we had another go for an outing with Atikah. Went out on Saturday to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. First stop was Yio Chu Kang MRT station where I met Ayu aka Jetaime to collect the cupcakes from her. Yeah, I ordered cupcakes from her. Hubby had no clue about it...hence he looked surprised! I loikeeeeeeee the surprised look on his face.

Then we proceeded to Suntec City. Wahhhh, I'm so in love with the revamped 3rd level of Suntec. There are many kiddies boutiques there...from Toys R Us to educational toy shop to even clothings shop. Hur hur hur menggeram nohhhhh! Hehe...kenapa lah performance bonus lambat masuk?? Niway, performance bonus will be in tomoro...hehe and I've so many things that I wanna get for Ikah in mind. *lol*

Next stop was Fig & Olive....but sadly it was too crowded plus the fact that Atikah was beginning to get cranky. So, we proceeded back home instead.

Well, it's always a learning experience while trying to take her out for an outing. Hmmmm....next time perhaps? I've yet to upload pics of Ayu's cupcakes...cos I'm too darn lazy and busy! *lol*

Ok....I need to prepare for my presentation on Saturday. Tata all!

2006-03-14T21:17:00.000+08:00

First Ever Outing

Yesterday was the first outing we had as a family. That is me, hubby and Atikah. Errr...actually we went to IMM the other time but it was only a 2 hour trip so that didn't count.

See..Atikah is all dressed up to go for an outing with Mummy & Ayah.

In the morning, went to ICA building to collect Atikah's passport. Hurray! Ikah can now officially travel out of Singapore! Well, my gal is a lil cranky during the journey. She kept crying and didn't want to be put in the stroller. Me n hubby was kinda frustrated when we see other children sitting quietly in the stroller, quietly wishing tat Atikah was like tat too.

Once at ICA, I managed to put Atikah to sleep. Hurray!! So put her in her stroller. She was only asleep for a few minutes. She woke up soon and was kinda amazed at the crowd. Hehe, she kept turning her head left and right! Mind you, her eyes were opened so wide tat for once her "sepet"ness was hidden. Haha! Tis lil gal of mine is such a kepo queen! Like hubby would put it:"Ah-ah...dia kepo mcm mak dia!" Kwang kwang kwang....got to admit tat I am such a kepo queen, betul tak bedek!

We also went to visit Aura's baby, Amir Firdaus. Mind you, he's heavy! Haha, Aura lenguh tangan gue dukung anak kamu! Kekekek....I carried Amir while hubby carried and tended to Atikah.

Managed to visit hubby's grandparents too. Heh, Atikah got a pair of gold earrings. It's in the shape of a dolphin holding a diamond ball. Nice man! Actually, I've already got her the white gold Minnie Mouse set. Oh well, my gal's turning to Mami Jarum Junior.

Speaking of which...tis lil gal of mine seems to be such a branded baby! Err...not tat I'm turning her into one though. She received lavish gifts such as Tupperware milk bottles (So the makcik2 brand!), Fisher Price rocker set, Polo Ralph dress and of coz Levi's Jeans from daddy dearest. So, u tell me, isn't she one branded baby? Mummy dia pon takde Levi's jeans or a Polo Ralph dress!(*hint2: Hubby, I've lost weight hor. In fact I've lost more weight than my pre-pregnancy weight. I think I can fit into a Levi's jeans! Haha)

Hmmm that reminds me...I'll be celebrating my first wedding anniversary this Sunday. Well, we're planning to go out on Saturday as hubby has to work on Sunday. Hmmmm, I've yet to decide on where to go. How time flies....I could vividly recollect the times I got married to hubby. Now, we're married for a year..and to sweeten things up, we have our very own housebrand of sweetener called Atikah. Ahhhh, such wonderful is life. Why the heck am I so crappish? Haha, tat's what you get from a sleep-deprived person! Haha...errr....actually hubby has totally taken over the nite shift from me! *giggles*

2006-03-11T21:32:00.000+08:00

Confinement, Was Confined, Confined No More

*Update: I've uploaded more of my Amoy's pics on my Multiply..check it out yah!*

Yippeeeeeeeeeee!! My confinement period is over! I can now go anywhere I want to. Haha, it's not as if I didn't go out at all during my confinement. *giggles* Niway, my gal is 1 month and 1 week old. I may have been a mummy for 1 month...but I still have the L-plate hanging on my back and front. I still have to struggle trying to decipher what her cries mean. It's no simple job hor!

Oh yes...before I forgot, I am now back at my own house. If you wanna dropby, do call me yah! Errr...if you don't have my number, heheh email me to ask for it lah! Oh let me take this opportunity to thank my hubby "publicly". Thank you dear for taking over the night shift and allowing me to sleep....Sayangggggggg awak! *grins*

Speaking of Atikah, my mum has bought her a pair of shoes from Mothercare. It's cutey cute!

As for myself, I've bought her the Weebok shoes..and guess what? Hehe..she can put it on already though there's still some space left. I made her wear tat shoes when we went to IMM the other day. Oh yah, tat was our first trip as a family..hehe yeah to IMM...cos hubby's got to go to work in the afternoon so can't go anywhere far.

Hmmm...I've taken some pics of Ikah but I'm too lazy to upload them. I'll upload them on my multiply when I have the mood yah? Here're some pics taken using my cammy phone...

Org nak minum susu pon nak amik gambar ker?

I'm having a war with my eyes! Fighting the heavy eyes...

Oh no! I'm not that chubby actually :)

Oh before I 4got....do vote for my blog! Heheh...tis was done out of BOREDOM while Ikah is sleeping! :P

Ok...want to go and rest...I'm tired. Nitey nite all! :)

2006-03-04T22:17:00.000+08:00

Bitterness in Sweetness

Hmmm....many may think that I am on cloud nine since the arrival of lil Atikah. Hmmm, no denial that I am on cloud nine but beneath those clouds lay some hidden dark clouds. Lemme explain what happens....

I've 2 very important people in my life: A and B. They're both very dear to me. However, A doesn't like B and doesn't agree with B. As a result, A told me that if I am with B, I can forget about acknowledging A. B is quite cool about things though. B has never stopped me from acknowledging A or be close to A. I'm put in such a spot. A has told me that A will never make up with B even if A dies. *sighs* If only people could be more forgiving....the world would be a better place to live in, I'm sure!

On another note, I juz watched the news about the 2-year old girl who went missing. Was certainly devastated to know that police had found her body partially decomposed and nude. And the worst part is, the suspect was the stepfather. Damn him! Can somebody juz chop off his "private part" so that he can never mengenyam again?? Niway, in the first place, why the hell is a 2-year old girl allowed to go to the playground on her own?? *sighs* Negligence has caused the loss of a life. Maybe the girl is fated to die....But I really feel for her. I am a mother myself and I know how it feels to lose your child. Sad isn't it? Well, let's make tis incident a learning point for all of us....To that gal, al-fateha to u.

Sombre mood today. Looking forward to Monday. It's Atikah's 2nd dose of Hep B. Oh yah, I'll be back at my own house on Thursday. So those who've been waiting for me to return to my own house....heh, I'm going to be back soon! Juz sms me yah! Ok no mood liao...too lazy to upload Atikah's pics. Will do so when the mood returns. Nite everyone!

Hmmmm I realize Ikah looks rather grumpy at times....hehe...so like the ayah! *bluekz@hubby*

Well, I've been busy of late. Busy with assignments and being a mummy. Hey, not easy being a mummy hor. I guess those mummies out there would definitely agree with me! Went back to Pei Tong yesterday to pack my stuffs. Errr...no I'm not changing school. Juz that my school's shifting over to the holding school next week so we've got to pack our stuffs into boxes.

Almost 3 weeks

My gal is turning 3 weeks tomoro. How time flies doesn't it? Basically, she's heavier now. Haha, sia2 mak dia kasi susu kalau dia tak put on weight! Oh yeah, she's getting more n more impatient. Hmmmmm, that I believe she takes after me. For those who know me well enuff will know tat I am rather impatient. So that's it, my gal takes after me. She cannot keep still for sure, even while feeding. She would menggeliat very vigorously. Even my mum complains that she's so menggelitis! Sungguh dari dlm perut pon mmg dia menggelitis. She loves bathtime...but tak tahan sejuk! So once we've taken off her clothes, we muz quickly wrap her in a towel or she will be wailing as loud as she could. I've yet to bathe her...will do so by nxt week since my confinement period is gonna be up soon. Here's some pics of her...

Her most recent pic...taken just 2 days ago:

Oh yeah...I bought her a cute cap...a day before she was born..hehe but didn't put it up on my blog as you peepz would have guessed her gender by then!

Oh btw...tis kiasu mum has actually enrolled Ikah in one of the Baby Gym trial lesson. If it's good, I may decide to allow her to continue. Anyway, one of the mummies I know is pre-ordering tis children book. It costs $18.....if u're interested u can email me. Here's a pic of the book....it is from overseas and we're mass ordering to reduce shipping costs...

Ok...I need to watch my darling Ikah....till we meet again!

2006-02-15T00:14:00.000+08:00

10 days old

My gal is 10 days old....time flies isn't it? Felt as if I just gave birth to her yesterday and before I knew it, she's already 10 days old. Had an appointment with my gynae this morning. Gave her a thank you card with Atikah's picture in it. Managed to snap a picture of her carrying Atikah. Here's the pic:

Atikah looked cranky didn't she? Haha, tat's because she was fast asleep when I asked if I could have a picture of Atikah with Prof Rauff. After the appointment, I was supposed to attend lecture in NIE. The lecture was 1.30pm so my mum suggested going to IMM first. Heh, broke my confinement law! Err...with my mum's permission hor! Atikah went along...but my lil gal is a true blue amoy ar! Sungguh tak tahan sejuk! She couldn't stand the air con and was practically shivering despite the thick clothings we clothed her in. Hmmmm, Atikah...the next time Mummy goes shopping, you'll stay with Nenek yah! Hehehe...

When I came back from NIE...I caught Atikah doing tis...

Sungguh tak sopan anak dara Mohamad Faiz ni! Ada ke tidor tonggeng!! Oh....she has many poses while sleeping! And she loves to menggeliat....errr tat's definitely something I do a lot! Heh, so she does take after some of my traits....despite totally looking like hubby! *Pfft* Here's another one of her favourite sleeping pose:

Hmmm....I caught this one...and I thought she looked as if she's soooooo besar like tat!

Oh yeah...Peter Pan Studios sent me Atikah's pics yesterday. I was soooooo super duper excited! Here's how Atikah looks like in her "makeover" shoot:

Ok....stoppppppppppppppppppp! I noe u gonna say...she looks EXACTLY like hubby in this picture. Alah....babies tend to change their look per...:P Sore loser Husna! Hehe!

Ok, I'm supposed to finish my assignment and not update my blog. But I tot I shouldn't let dust collect in my blog mah! Plus...tis excited mummy is pleased to show many many pics of lil Atikah...:)

2006-02-08T18:22:00.000+08:00

Day 6 of Mummyhood

Another new phase of life. A year ago, about a month from now, I was adapting to my new phase of life....Being someone's wife. Now, I'm adapting to another new phase of life...being Atikah's mum. Hmmmm....how's Atikah doing u asking? She's doing great, alhamdulillah. She has put on weight since she came back from the hospital. She doesn't really pose much problem. Wakes up only for her feed. Other than that, she spends most of her time sleeping. Heh, not forgetting, "berak-ing" too! Hmmm, she wakes up only twice at nite. Heh, that explains why I am able to update my blog! Plus the fact...my mum helps out a lot too!

Niway, here are a few more pics of Atikah...hehe...esp for those who wanna confirm the "sepet"ness of her eyes!

Ok, I'm supposed to hand in my assignment tomoro! Heh, so I guess I better stop here and carry on with my assignment while Atikah is sleeping! :D

2006-02-07T21:32:00.000+08:00

Presenting....Baby Atikah

My baby A has finally arrived....:) Yeah...that's her....Atikah Binte Mohamad Faiz. She arrived on 3rd February 2006 at 1543h. At birth, she weighed 3080g and was 50cm tall. I would like to thank Moifredah, Fiza & hubby, Syukor & gang, Thamrin, Kak Rida & Yayan, Liza, Rose, Shanaz & fiance, Fairus and others who have visited me and Atikah in the hospital. Thank you dears....for the well wishes and gifts! :)

Ok....lemme share the labour story huh...Heheh...bear with this excited new mummy lah! Well the day before Atikah came, I was feeling rather frustrated as the baby didn't show signs tat she's coming out at all. So, that nite, I asked hubby to bring me for a very, very long walk. We walked from home to WestMall...then to Princess Elizabeth Pri Sch area, walked back home and climbed up the longest flight of stairs at my place. Heh, felt terribly tired after walking but there was still no sign to signal that the baby was coming out.

On 3rd Feb ard 5 am, I was beginning to have contractions. I didn't really bother to record the timing as I thought it was another false alarm...in fact, I remembered talking to the baby:"Baby, Mummy's tired...let Mummy rest first ok?" Haha, ni lah one fickle mummy! But the pain was really intense at ard 5.45 am. Woke hubby up and told him about the contractions. We got ready and immediately set off to NUH. Upon reaching the delivery suite, my cervix was examined....I was already 3 cm dilated. So the nurses told me and hubby that I was going to give birth. My gynae came at ard 8 am and asked me:"Is it for real this time?" Haha.....after so many false alarm, she too decided tat it was for real tis time round. Niway, she burst my water bag after that. But my dilation was super duper slow that I had to be put on drip. I don't remember exactly what the progress was like as I was so "high" on the laughing gas! But I remembered I asked for gas again at the last hour and I was denied of it, saying tat they wanted me to actually push. After 4 pushes, lil' Atikah was finally out.

Hmmmm.....ok I'm kinda tired now....will continue with more stories later lah ar. I'll upload the pics in my multiply soon. Ok, I wanna do my assignment. Oh yah, to those who wanna visit me, I am now at my mum's place. Do sms or email me for the address if you wanna dropby :)

2006-02-02T15:06:00.000+08:00

Gonna Spank You, Lil One!

Dear Lil One,

You must always remember this. There is a time for everything. If it's time for you to play, you play. If it's time for you to sleep, you sleep. When it's time for you to learn, you learn. And.......when it's time for you to come out, PLS COME OUT!

Yours sincerely,
Mummy...

Ok, had my 39th cum 40th week check up at the gynae's yesterday. Let me tell you what happen. According to my gynae, I'm about 1.5 cm - 2 cm dilated. And, the baby still seems very comfy inside me. Woitz tak nak kuar ker?? So, she's giving me till 6th Feb...and if baby still refuses to come out, she will have to have me induced. Hmmmm, ppl say you should walk more if you want to be in labour. Well, I've done that, did that and am still doing that hor! Walking from West Mall back home is already enough torture....especially when I stay on the 3rd floor. The lil one juz refuses to come out! Notty lil one....I muz make sure I spank ur bottom the moment you're out :P

Niway, after my appointment yesterday, me and hubby went to have lunch at IMM. Heh, I bought some toys for my lil one. I even bought a cute cap for the lil one to wear back from the hospital. So, to my lil one, if you don't come out real soon, Ayah will play with your toys and we will wear that cap of yours before you. :P

Oh, my lil one is juz as fickle as I am. I swore I was having contractions this morning. I had to miss my CAE201 tutorial and the trip to Dyslexia Centre, which I wanted very much to go. *sob sob* Hubby had to take urgent leave but again, it was a false alarm. I actually told hubby to juz go on to work...but he told me that he doesn't wanna leave me alone in that condition. Heh, so sweet hor! Aiyoh, my apek does have sweet thoughts sometimes lah! Hmmm.....now my buttock is itching. I might go to West Mall in a while to return my DVD and my library books. Hmmmm, maybe I should start climbing up and down the staircase so that the lil one can be out and I can spank the lil one! Muahahahhahaha

Ok...tata to all!! :D

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!)

2006-01-24T22:30:00.000+08:00

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

2006-01-18T18:07:00.000+08:00

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!

2006-01-17T21:06:00.000+08:00

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!

2006-01-13T13:53:00.000+08:00

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!

2006-01-07T16:48:00.000+08:00

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...:)

2006-01-05T12:24:00.000+08:00

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

2006-01-03T20:01:00.000+08:00

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

2006-01-01T14:44:00.000+08:00

Title-less

Went to visit Zana and her newborn yesterday. Before that, met Su and her daughter at her house. Oh well, since both Suraya and Zana lives opposite of each other. It's been some time since I last saw Suraya. Err...I guess it was during my engagement. 3 years mind u....of course we had a lot to catch up on.

Proceeded to Zana's house after that. Her baby is soooooooo adorable and yummylicious! Hehehe...i just love the smell of babies. We were all so engrossed in catching up with each other that....I forgot I've brought my camera along. So, no pics taken! *lol*

Went to West Mall after that to meet hubby. I couldn't finish my Zinger burger so dear hubby had to finish it for me. Haha, I've tis tendency of not finishing my food nowadays. Tat's why....hubby seems to be putting on all the weight and not me! Kekekek. I've been losing weight...since my last appointment..I've lost 1.3kg. Niway, after the trip to KFC....we went to Tom & Stefanie to get stuffs for the lil one since the ayah just had his bonus. Hehe, we bought 2 bath-tubs (1 2b placed at my mum's and 1 at my place), playpen (2b placed at my place as mama has already bought a baby cot), baby's carrier and breast pump for myself. Haha, merengkek beb angkat tu semua barang! So...I believe shopping for the lil one is more or less done.

Oh yah, hubby even bought My First Levi's set for the lil one. Ishk....Levi's eh? To my lil one: Pls note that Mummy doesn't even own a Levi's. Tsk tsk tsk...your ayah's showing favouritism already, huh? :P But it's really cute though...both of us had fallen in love with it...the moment we saw it actually. But I didn't expect hubby to surprise me by getting it for the lil one.

Ok...for now I can concentrate on getting my E-Bag ready. Hmmmm.....it's kinda fast. Very soon, I'll be holding the lil one in my arms. Hmmm to be honest, I'm excited and nervous. Excited cos I'm entering a new phase of my life....Nervous cos I'm not sure if I will be able to bring up my lil one well. Will I be a good mother? The challenges of parenting is way too much....especially when I'm dealing with parents like almost everyday. Hmmmm.....like what hubby says:"We'll take things as it comes."

Ok...have to go and eat my brunch now....hungry hippo! *lol*

Wedding Season

Yesterday seemed a very popular date as many couples seem to get married then. I had 2 invitations. Luckily both were in Bukit Batok area. One was the wedding of a blogger fren, Mystique aka Misa. Coincidentally, she engaged Boombox to shoot her wedding video. So, hubby was there too. Went with Mahd for her wedding. Managed to catch a glimpse of the couple. Took pics but im too lazy to upload them. Haha.

Rushed off to my NIE fren's wedding. She's gorgeous!! Managed to catch a glimpse of her and her hubby. Even took photos with the couple.

To Nurul 'Atieqa and Misa, congratulations on your wedding!

Went back home after that to clean up my house as hubby has informed me that the guys (Syukor and Emi) are coming over to watch soccer. Spring cleaned the house and even managed to wash the clothes of the lil one. Punya lah berlambak baju dia! Satu galah penuh baju dia sorang jer! Lawan tokay betul anak gue ni...

The boys soon came over after shooting Misa's wedding. Guess what? I'm surrounded by 3 Liverpool die hard fans. Sadly though, Liverpool still lost! Haha, Syukor aku dah bilang kau....mmg Liverpool nak kalah tu game! The situation was chaotic....but it was fun. Usually hubby would be quite quiet watching the game...but yesterday was kecohrable! Hahaha...nasib org tak complain noh!

Ok....I wanna go and get something to eat. Oh yah, will be visiting Zana and her baby tomoro...so exciting!

2005-12-17T13:07:00.000+08:00

Boredom's setting in. Date, anyone?

Hmm...I seem to be the busiest freak when it's school time. And I seem to be the most boring freak when it's the school holidays. *Pfft* So much so that I've been bugging hubby with 3 words and those are: "Saya boring ar!" Heh, my vocab is getting really limited these days. So, anyone who's bored out there...pls feel free to gimme a holler and ask me out yah! Cos' I'm as bored as you are! *lol*

Oh yesterday was better. Went to school to submit my leave application. Ayah fetched me from school. Went to mama's place for a while. Heh, mama's bought a 3-in-1 stroller for my lil one. So, I managed to kepo with the functions of my lil one's gadget. Then followed ayah as he wanted to fetch my sis from her Orkestra Melayu Singapura(OMS) practice. Guess what? We were invited to watch their rehearsal. Hehe, apa lagi kepo ar! My sis is a bit shy though...and I realize she doesn't really like us to watch her performing. Stage fright ker malu kotz?? For those who donno, I don't look anywhere near my sis. Haha, we're so different! Oh yeah...n tis sis of mine is such a music freak and tat freaks me out sometimes. *lol* I took some pics but too lazy to upload them ar. When I find my mood, I'll upload them hor!

Oklah....i wanna continue with the scrapbook...tata all!

*Blows off spiderwebs*

Aloha! I didn't realize that my blog is so the dusty! Hehe, I really muz tip Mr. Spider for taking care of my blog while I'm away. Err, not that he does a good job though.

Aiyoh, who on earth speculated that I've given birth? Oitz...belum lagikz lah! I'm still enjoying every last bit of my pregnancy, hor. I'm due in Feb, got it? Haha, alahai kak...soalan sama jer? Asik2 tanya baby boy ker gal? Sabar separuh dari iman :P

Here's an update on my pregnancy. I'm 32 weeks pregnant now....turning 33 weeks tis Sat. The lil one's kicking me non stop especially at nite, juz as I am about to close my eyes and sleep. Nocturnal lil one! I'm rather disappointed...as I've kinda chosen 2 names for my lil one...juz to find out tat a good fren of mine had juz given birth on Monday and has given tat name to her baby. Zana, I so the hate you! *Pfft!* Looks like I may have to settle for the second choice after all. Hmmm, perhaps I should juz stick to my first choice? Heh! Went to visit the gynae last week and she's confirmed the gender of my lil one. Nopez...I'm not revealing!

Went to Plaza Sing with Haz yesterday. Bought some stuffs to embark on my scrapbooking project. Semangat dua puluh lima minit! We had Swensens.....Haz gave a treat! Thankz yah Haz! Lain kali belanja lagi ar! *lol*

Ok, tat's all lah....I'm tired of typing...I wanna play games...tata!

2005-11-22T13:52:00.000+08:00

Update, alas!

*blows spider web off the blog....pppppppppppooooooooooofffffff* Thank you, Mr. Spider for keeping the readers of my blog occupied!

Heh, an update finally. It's the year end, u see and teachers are most busiest at the end of the year. So, tat explains the spider web all over the blog!

Niway, I've caught Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire with Hap on the opening day itself. Final verdict: FANTASTIC! I loikeeeeeeeeee the movie...and Harry showed off his 6 pack abs! Hur hur hur I am so in love with Harry Potter now...*lovesick Husna* To show my love for Harry...I've decided to catch the movie again, this time with my darling sista.

Ok, how's the lil one u asking? The lil one's doing fine. Waking me up in the middle of the nite with kicks....more vigorous ones I have to admit. We've started buying some stuffs for the lil one and boy, we're enjoying every moment of it. Names have been chosen...we're limiting it to only 2 per gender. Heh, don expect fanciful names. As I've mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I don fancy having kids with fanciful names. So it's just gonna be a humble and simple name for the lil one. :) Apa dia kak? Girl ke boy? Ishk ishk ishk...akak ni kan saya dah kata tunggu lah bulan Feb tahun depan eh. Nanti saya reveal gender anak saya ni. Sabar yah!

Hmmm....I'm going on a full time semester for my studies nxt year. Heh, so looking forward to being solely a student..oh yah, not forgetting a study mama too! Oh yah, I had my Pragmatics exam on the 15th Nov and I came to a conclusion that my lil one doesn't like exams too much. The lil one was practically kicking me all around as I was cracking my brain thinking of what to write. Haha, even when I was revising, the lil one kicked me! Darling, mummy's so sorry that I've got to bring you along for tat silly paper of mine! Haha...nasib kau lah nak dlm perut lagi dah exam stress. Kalau kamu kuar, haha tau lah nasib kamu yah! *Pfft!* Well, look on the bright side, I will still be paid when undergoing my studies as I'll be on maternity leave. Financially, we'll be tight but look on the other bright side, hehe I'll be getting my Connect Plan in Dec 2006! Hur hur hur...kaya gue! Jadi bersusah susah dahulu bersenang senang kemudian....and after my degree, I will be able to earn a higher pay! Insya-Allah....:)

There u go an update from me....heh, expect the nxt update to be months later lah hah! I'm in holiday mooddddddddddd! :P

XR no more, Super 4 insya-Allah?

I've sold off my darling XR officially. Reason being, I can't cope with having to pay for public transport and my monthly installment at the same time. Sorry darling XR...I've to set my priorities rite. Insya-Allah, after I give birth, I may decide to get myself the Super 4 bike. Heh, hubby I can, can't I? I've no intention to get a car...though I noe it's more convenient. But I seem to be listing down more cons than pros if I were to own a car. Take a peek at my list:

1. Car road tax is so damn expensive!
2. Car insurance is also another expensive bugger!
3. In jam, you're confirmed to be STUCK for hours at least!
4. Di mana ada gula, di situ ada semut. Org2 ni kadang tahu nak tumpang kereta jer. Cubalah tumpang bayar sekali! (Yah I'm a selfish freak I noe..tat's y I seldom tumpang kereta org...don like to impose on others)
5. Waste water to wash the car! (Haha, sedangkan motor aku tak cuci!*lol*)

So, see....now you noe why I shouldn't be getting a car huh? I die2 still wanna own a bike. Once a biker, forever a biker mah!

Oh yah, Haz came over to my house yesterday. Was supposed to study for pragmatics. But in the end both of us watched TV and chit chatted. Haha, as usual lah...when I meet Haz, tat's what happen. We watched the 7 pm Chinese drama, Amazing Race and my wedding video. Haha, so the basi kan? Haz stayed till 9.30 pm....cos hubby came back late last nite...so yours truly managed to persuade her to stay longer at my place. Tapi sungguh satu habuk pon tak belajar....lari abis dari original plan! Kekekek

Ok...got to go...I hate the year end. So much stuffs to do and so little time! Urghhhh!

2005-11-07T08:44:00.000+08:00

Not to remember

I'm back. I'm not gonna tell anything about my Syawal. Juz noe that it's not a day I want to remember...It's not a day I wanna mark in my calendar or even my journal of memories. Nopez, I'm not washing dirty linen in public. Those who're very very close to me will noe what happen on my first Syawal as a wife.

Niway, I'm looking forward to watching Harry Potter with Hap! Can't wait, can't wait! Hmm...I'm losing interest in updating my blog.....I may decide to close it down very soon.....*sighs*

2005-10-30T13:42:00.000+08:00

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

I am juggling between assignments, my own exam, hari raya preps, the kiddos' year end administration. Chances are, I won't be updating my blog for quite some time. I'm leaving it to Mr. Spider to weave webs around my blog....

So, before I take my leave, I'd like to wish all my Muslim bloggers and friends out there: Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Kalau ada terkasar bahasa atau menyinggung mana2 pihak....Husna susun sepuluh jari mohon maaf zahir dan batin....

Till then, enjoy this festive season yah!

2005-10-27T12:01:00.000+08:00

Contractions?

Ok, reason for not updating my blog...not that I'm lazy or anything. Juz that I've been put on 4 days of MC and bedrest.

Last Monday, I had severe abdominal pain and had to wake my poor hubby up at 2.30 a.m. Hubby decided not to take any chances and rushed me to the hospital cos I was literally crying like a small kid who had just fell down. Upon reaching the hospital, the nurses did a CTG on me and confirmed tat the abdominal pain I was experiencing was contractions and they were regular. So, the doc had to check to see if the cervix was open. Alhamdulillah, cervix was not opened at all. Was prescribed some medicine and told to visit my gynae asap.

Arrange for an immediate appointment with the gynae....and she checked me and decided tat she would not admit me...but instead put me to bed rest.

Niway, thankz to the antenatal package I took, I am poorer by $500! Sickening nurse, cos she told me they won't deduct the full $500 from my pay! Damn it, Tipah tertipu!

2005-10-21T20:49:00.000+08:00

Bloated!

I am so bloated now! Went to Bukit Gombak bazaar Ramadhan juz now with hubby. Bought myself nasi rawon, air bandung, some kuih2, lauk for sahur and kuih tako! Haha, padan ar bloated kan kan kan?

I didn't manage to finish my nasi rawon though...but the taste is not bad! Haha, lain kali tak nak pi bazaar ar...mata rambang sey!

Ok...me juz type an entry to whilst my time...tgh tunggu citer Cina...lol.

2005-10-20T10:48:00.000+08:00

Free Time!

I'm free again! Juz finish with stocktaking...haha stocktake aw-tar! Apa ke tak aw-tar...I juz did the ones yg within my reach. Tak kuasa aku nak panjat2 kerusi semua! Buat bodoh sudahlah....

Hmmmmm....I wonder if a mummy's sugar intake will have any effect on her baby in the womb. Why am I asking? Hmmmm, yesterday my baby was extremely active...non-stop kickings...and I noticed tat all tese take place after I've eaten a lollipop! Haha, for me, I definitely get hyper with high sugar intake...dah mcm ADHD kiddo plak aku ni! Oh did I say I was craving for Chupa Chupps lollipop, choco n vanilla flavour? Heh, smsed hubby yesterday nite n told him to buy it for me! He bought 2! But he forbid me from eating them yesterday...reason:"Dah kol 12 tgh mlm, mana ada org mkn lollipop mlm2....tidor...sok bleh makan." Nvm, lepas buka akan daku kerjakan itu Chuppa Chupps! :P

Speaking of babies....me and hubby have yet to choose a name for the lil one. Haha, but for sure I'm all set to give only ONE name to my child. Tak kuasa nak letak nama panjang2....buat penat mak dia jer yg kena tuliskan nama anak dia! Boy or gal? Haha, I'm not revealing yet....tunggulah nanti baby dah kuar..tahu lah korang boy ker gal...*lol*

Oh yeah juz received an email...our pay for Nov will be advanced to 29th ~~July~~ October (heheh...redrose...tgh puasa ar!) due to the festive season! Yippeeeeee!! Ok wanna go n sleep....heheheh curik tulang!!!

Under The Weather

Been feeling under the weather lately. Must be the sudden increase in workload. 3 assignments down the road - one due tomoro, another due in a week's time and the other due in 3 weeks time. Exam is also ard the corner. Alhamdulillah, tis semester I've only 1 paper to sit for. The kiddo's exams is also round the corner. They've started their EL and MT paper 1 last Friday. I'm spared from marking the P3 compos...I'm assigned to mark Situational Writing...thank god for tat!

Niway, I'm kinda frustrated with my sch. The last time I checked out my PSLE marking appointments, I wasn't given any. I asked my clerk and she said tat my VP wanted me to rest since I'm pregnant and she doesn't want me to travel very far. And I thought, "Ada otak jugak VP aku ni!" But last Friday I was kinda put off by a piece of news my Maths HOD has for me. She told me:"Hus, VP asks me to give you job since u're not going out for making. She asked me to ask u to help out in stocktake for the Maths Resources." What the fish! Me stocktake with a big tummy????? Buat lawak kappa? Sometimes I wonder if my VP ever has brains! Otak lu letak kat bontot sak! If I know I had to do stocktake, I'd rather go out for marking sia! Went home and told hubby...he wasn't too happy, of course. I told Mama and Mama was juz as pissed as hubby was.....*sighs* I'm really thinking of a transfer....tis school really has no brains......*sighs*

Niway, I've decided to go full time for my degree programme next semester. This means that I'm taking 2 months no pay leave from Jan to Feb...after which I will continue with my 12 weeks maternity leave. I really hope to be able to recover soon after giving birth so tat I can go back to school and continue with my degree programme. In this way, I can finish my degree by 2006 and save myself $3k....yah tat's how expensive education is in Singapore.....

As for the lil one, the kickings becoming harder and more often. Why on earth do I hear ppl saying tat the kickings get less during fasting month? There was one day after sahur when the lil one decides not to sleep but instead show off to the ayah the superb kicking skills. Hubby was so amused by the kickings. Apa ingat kelakar ker? Errr....did I tell u tat the kickings can be ticklish at times? I'm 6 mths now...and I've 3 more mths to go....*gulps* It's the delivery jitters I'm getting now.....

Ok...need to go and complete my assignment now. I've to type a 1 200 - 1 800 words essay mind you! *urgh!!!*

Oh got tis from Mayang's blog....

Complicated

What is your style of 'hijab'? (for ladies only)

Phew!

Had a long day yesterday. Went to NIE for my Science lesson. Was kinda switched off and I spent the whole time marking Situational Writings. It's supposed to be presentation time...but somehow or rather I felt tat these trainee teachers tend to be too idealistic.....so unrealistic! Please lah, the real teaching world is not about teaching at all. Let them have a taste of it lah, then they'll know it.

After lesson, met hubby and went to Lee Kong Chian Reference Library as I needed to search some materials for my CTL202 assignment. Spent about an hour there before we went to Raffles Hospital to break our fast.

Niway, I'm in school rite now. Don't ask me what the hell I'm doing here. Oklah I'm not feeling well...down with flu actually. I wanna go and read up the stuffs that I've photocopied from the library yesterday. Have a nice weekend all...

2005-10-12T09:10:00.000+08:00

Why Muz Things Be Sour?

As usual, I won't mention who. But I'm utterly disappointed at her. Disappointed with the way she treat him. I know he has done many wrongs...but so what? You're not perfect yourself. You think you're the best? You think you're perfect? No, you're not! And I definitely do not want to take after your ways. Do you know I wish I can sleep forever....never to wake up and see you again? Never to wake up to celebrate the next Syawal? The next Syawal's supposed to be a memorable one for me. The first time I am celebrating it as someone's wife. But alas, I am not looking forward to it anymore. In fact, I wish I never have to see or smell the next Syawal.

Do I hate you? No, I don't. I'm juz utterly disappointed with you. Remember your conversation yesterday? No? Lemme refresh your memory then:

First conversation:
Her: Who are you interviewing for ur assignment?
Me: My grandad perhaps?
Her: Ok, you make sure you go Teban alone. DON'T bring HIM along! I don't want him to have anything to do with our family!
Me: Yah, yah....

Second Conversation:
Her: There will be a kenduri at so and so's place on so and so's date. You goin?
Me: Nopez, I have other plans.
Her: Can you juz go? Everybody's asking me about you. I can't cover up for you anymore.
Me: I've made plans...
Her: What's wrong with you? Before marriage, you can go to relatives' place. After marriage, you've no relatives huh?
Me: Yappz...I don have any.
Her: Baguslah tu jawapan.
Me: *silence*
Her: U coming to break fast here tomoro?
Me: No. I've got work to do. I'll juz drop by and pass ur money.
Her: Break fast here lah! I don't care you better break your fast here!
Me: See first lah...k I need to do work.

How am I going to go to relatives' place? If they ask me where is he, what am I suppose to answer? "Oh, she doesn't allow me to bring him!" Hey, if I answer like that, you're the one who's going to be embarrassed, not me ok! I don't wanna embarrass you. And why muz you force me to go over to your place to break fast? I'm not a kid who needs to be forced! I'm old enough to differentiate the rights from wrongs. What good does it do that you acknowledge me but not him? You mite as well don't acknowledge me, too!

I was so utterly disappointed with you that I spent my nite crying and crying yesterday. Hubby pacified me. I stopped crying juz to ensure hubby that I'm ok. But I am still not okay. I am still sore about your treatment. Maybe it's high time I be unfilial....

To hubby, I'm sorry that you've to go through all these craps. And pardon my weakness for being unable to stand up for you.

I'm seriously not in the mood for anything now. Can I sleep forever and never wake up? I've changed my hp number temporarily.....

2005-10-10T08:39:00.000+08:00

Assignments Galore

Sighs....change of plans again. Had a briefing with the Sub-Dean last Sat. They told us to either take full-time in Jan 2006 and finish up by Jul 2006 or....do part-time and graduate till Jan 2007. Looks like I can only finish my degree by Jan 2007. Haiz...nvm perservere till Jan 2007 yeah Hus! For the sake of a bigger pocket!

I've juz realized tat my assignments are all gonna be due soon! I've 3 assignments down the road. Err...which have I started u asking? Hehe, none! Lalala...tis semester I'm such a slackerz....must be the baby I'm carrying! Haha, yelah tu Hus, dah kau yg pemalas...kau salahkan plak anak yg kat dlm perut kau tu! Niway...will try to complete my CCS301 assignment by this week....and am going to start planning for my CTL202 assignment by Wednesday and arrange for an interview asap. Aiyoh, I'm supposed to interview someone who has gone through drastic changes in life...for example lived thru the Japanese Occupation period....Maybe I should interview my grandfather? Tapi nanti dia bukak citer Jawa dia plak...tak sanggup gue! But I will definitely feel more comfortable with him.

So, if my blog is seldom updated, sorry hor, juz need to start on my assignments asap!

Oh yah, Haz...u wanna come over my place on Friday (11/11) and stay overnite there? Heheh, then we can revise for our Pragmatics exams together2 and celebrate my birthday after that! Heheheh....*winkz winkz*

2005-10-07T10:54:00.000+08:00

3rd Day of Ramadhan

Well, it's the 3rd day of Ramadhan. N tis is the first time I am celebrating Ramadhan with my hubby. Yappz..sungguh tak bedek! When we were dating or engaged, I made sure I didn't meet him during Ramadhan. Hmmm, just to respect the month on its own actually. So, I must admit it feels rather odd to be celebrating Ramadhan with only 2 people. I'm so used to breaking fast with Mama, Ayah and Adik. Well, there's always a first time! Niway....there's juz the 2 of us this year. But insya-Allah, there'll be 3 nxt year when the lil one comes out. Heh, and I am still not revealing the gender of my lil one! *Pfft!*

The first day went well for me. I managed to fast though hubby was a lil worried at first. He kept asking if the baby move. Haha, hubby don worry the baby is moving a lot! With or without food.....kan dah bilang dasar menggelitis, nak buat mcm mana sey? :P

Hmmmm....both me and hubby were discussing of our raya plans. Haha, I've not bought any outfit yet. Reason being....kwang kwang kwang I can't fit into my normal size.

Ok...donno wat else to blog. I'm angry with my students for writing nonsensical compositions! So damn fed-up! Sesungguhnyer aku berpuasa!

P/S: Thankz NZ for correcting me! Haha, sungguh me dah lupa...

Ramadhan Is Here

Here's a nice poem given to me by one of my colleagues. I tot I'd share it here since it's a sweet poem....

Ramadhan Is Here
by Asma Sadia

One night when I heard a knock on my door;
Who can it be, I wasn't quite sure.
I open the door and am filled with glee;
The visitor ahead is no stranger to me.

I welcome the guest with utmost delight;
For I know it has come to give me respite.
An air of happiness fills the space;
My home now seems, a better place!

Have you any clue who this visitor could be?
Yes! It's Ramadhan, the month of mercy.
The pious and righteous can't await its arrival;
Others seem to greet it, with waves of denial.

For Allah(SWT) we fast from dawn to dusk;
For Him our breath is the fragrance of musk.
The muslims who pray and fast with zest;
Are aware of the rewards of this month manifest.

Throughout this month we weep and repent;
Now is the time to strongly lament.
And those who shun this sacred month;
on the Day of Reckoning will face the brunt.

In the last ten nights, hides the Night of Decree;
Allah(SWT) then awaits for his slaves to plea.
The angels descend with Gabriel(AS) in the lead;
To check on the steadfast and record every deed.

A feeling of grief now fills my heart;
As the month of Ramadhan will soon depart.
So let's make a start and worship Him alone;
Now that the worth of this month is known.

Happy Birthday to hubby!
Happy Birthday to u!

Heeee, hubby turned 26 today. Ishk ishk, dah tua sey! Niway, we had a small scale celebration tis afternoon. Went to Swensen's at Toa Payoh to eat brunch. There I had the 49ers while hubby had breaded chicken. We got two free sundaes from M1. Hubby took the Firehouse Birthday sundae while I had banana split. Yummy!

Roamed ard Toa Payoh. Went to Cerisi, saw some nice baby clothings...and we bought one set of it. Then we went to the cheap2 store to buy some more baby's clothings. Haha, nvr got enuff of it lah.

Oklah....niway here's for hubby: May Allah bleass u with a long and blessed life. And, I've nvr regretted getting married to u! You're such a wonderful hubby! Love u lots, dearie!

I Feel Like A Child Again!

Had Children's Day celebration in school today. I feel like a child again esp when the song Semoga Bahagia is played. Lagu kenangan beb! Used to remember the times I would sing the song with gutso. Niway, there's a concert. The teachers put up a dance. Normally, I would join in the fun....but tis year, due to my bulging tummy, I had to give it a miss. Haha, they did some Hindustani dance tis year. Very interesting leh! Oh yah, did I tell you guyz I actually signed up for this Modern Dancing course in the beginning of the year? Well, tat also I had to drop halfway. Nvm, nxt year I shall look forward to a more active regime! Hmmm and that includes looking after the lil one! *grins*

Went to Suntec City with Irda after school yesterday. She wanted to look for shawls while yours truly was looking for a gift for my darling hubby. Haha, I've finally got him a present. I haven't been able to get a present cos everywhere I go hubby seems to be tagging along. So to hubby: Yes, that's my main purpose of going Suntec actually! Heheh, sorry eh saya tipu awak. Sekali ajer saya tipu awak. Nanti ari raya saya minta maaf lebih2. *lol*

I shall wrap the present after school today as hubby's coming home late tonite. So, come Sunday, I will just present it to him. Haha, maybe I should consider wrapping myself as well! *lol* Shall I wrap it with extra wrapping papers...or perhaps layers of newspaper? *evil grin*

Will post a pic of what I got for my lil darlings in school later.......too tired. Need to prepare myself for Lower Primary Sports Day lah. Oh yah, the TUMMY is finally really SHOWING! Even the makcik who sells at kopitiam asks me how many months I am!

Oklah...need to go...tata!

Tis The Season

(To be sung to the tune of Tis' The Season 2b Jolly)

Tis' the season to be stressed up! Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
3 more weeks to exam time. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
So much topics to cover. Tra-la-la-tra-la-la-la-la-la-la.
With so little time in hand. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.

Naughty children everywhere. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Seems so switch off at this time. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Oh my, oh my, what to do? Tra-la-la-tra-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Oh my darlings, pls hang on! Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.

Frenzied teachers all around. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Trying hard to chase syllabus. Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Panting teachers, fatigue students. Tra-la-la-tra-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Oh when will this year come to an end? Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.

Had P1 oral juz now. Was rather disappointed at their reading skills. I have to admit kids nowadays have rather poor reading skills. It scares me, to be honest. I mean, I'm going to be a mother soon. I hate it when I hear ppl say:"Alah, mak cikgu pon anak tak pandai ker?" or "Dia tu pandai ajar anak orang jer. Anak sendri tak terajar." Weiiii, these remarks hurt ok! Yes we're teachers. But so what? We're human beings too. And for those of you who think that being intelligent is juz scoring academically, let me correct ur mindset now. According to Howard Gardner, there are 8 aspects of intelligences....or rather he call it Multiple Intelligences. So, a child need not be intelligent in academic aspect. He or she could be intelligent kinesthetically. Results are really nothing. Yah, I know in Singapore, results count. But hey, look at it tis way: schools are now trying to develop children holistically. So, be patient aye...we'll soon recognize students who're not academically inclined.

Ok, I'm feeling so lethargic nowadays. In school, I'm like going on the maximum power. I even have to change my remedials to supplementary just to chase the syllabus. It's really tiring, I admit. On one hand, I can't wait for the year to be over. On another, I wish I can slow things down a little. Oklah...nitez to all!

Sunday's Outing

Was supposed to stay at home and prepare for my CTL202 presentation yesterday. Haha, but in the end, me and hubby went to Plaza Singapura. Purpose? We had to get curtains for the upcoming Hari Raya. But since I had yet to do research for my CTL202 presentation, told hubby that I needed to go to the library. So, off we went to Arab St first to have our brunch. I had murtabak while hubby ate Briyani Rice. Haha, but in the end, I couldn't finish the murtabak and poor hubby had to finish it on my behalf.

Proceeded to National Library. Yeah, the newly and still bau kedai library. I've got only one word to describe the library: USER-UNFRIENDLY! First they stated tat the reference section is from Level 7-13. How the hell am I suppose to know which level should I go??? Blurr me went to Lvl 7, deposited my bag at the locker there, juz to realize tat the books and journals I needed to refer to was at Level 11. Bloody-gol-so'ot betul! Niway, we can't bring in notes to the Reference section there. Spoiler man! So the mafan! Hubby went to the Central Lending area....cos I told him tat it's gonna be boring at the reference section! *lol*

Went to Plaza Sing from there and bought our curtains from Spotlight. Hurray! Finally curtains for our house. Dropped by Mums & Babes and we spotted beautiful socks for babies. Haha, we bought them in the end cos it's cheap....3 pairs for $4.20! Then went to Mothercare to survey the McLaren stroller tat hubby wanted so much. Hubby, who's sitting on the stroller? U or baby? :P Saw nice baby stuffs there. Tempted to buy...man! Walked to John Little. They're having discounts...and we saw the box of Avent bottles which normally costs close to $50.....guess what? It's only about $30++....so grab lah! Haha....I did consult my mum first and asked her if it was alrite to buy these things bit by bit...and she said it's ok...as long as u chuck it aside and not think abt it anymore.

Went to Secret Recipe after that. Nothing special abt it. Went back home, feeling very, very tired....but happy as another weekend is spent with hubby dearest :D

2005-09-24T20:19:00.000+08:00

Tired Saturday

Had Pragmatics lesson at NIE this morning. We had a new tutor....his name is Paul something2. (Can't remember his surname...so the tongue twister!) Initially I was wide awake...but towards the later part of the lesson, I tot his voice seemed to be sounding further and further. Haha, I almost dozed off! But haven't doze off yet, unlike that Liza! Member terlelap entah brapa kali sak! Got back my Pragmatics Quiz results. Didn't do too well....but it's still a pass! Haha, scored badly for the second part. Hey! How the hell am I suppose to know that the Pope is Catholic! Si Pope tu bukannyer sedara dgn aku sey :P

Went to Bugis with her after lesson. Heeeeeee.....Haz, we finally got out of Jurong Point huh? *lol* Niway, went to Tong Seng to have our lunch. We had chicken rice...and yours truly had an added bowl of fish soup. Itu sudah satu kewajipan bila pergi makan di Tong Seng! Haha, Haz, I just realized I finished the soup all alone today! First time I actually managed to finish the soup! Ishk.....ni mesti baby suka makan tau! :P

After lunch, we went to Concourse. Yipeeeeeeeeee! I've finally bought the Children's Day gifts! Phew! It's such a crowded place at Concourse...just as I'd expected. Haha, and yeah u guessed it rite, they're all teachers who are there at the last minute to buy the Children's Day gifts! *Bluekz* Met my ex NIE mates there too! In short, Concourse became a Teachers' Paradise. Bought some IQ puzzles stuffs for my kids. Will post a pic of it after Children's Day lah! I'm afraid some of my students stumble upon my blog then it'll be no surprise anymore mah :D

We managed to drop by Arab St....and I bought 3 tudungs. Hmmm, can't help it lah. Tudung freak! Kekeke....especially Akel ones. Then we went to Bugis Village. Haz bought the Emily the Strange bag and 2 watches. I didn't buy any. Huh, u must be wondering....this Hus so good meh? Haha, tat's because I've already bought the bag and I've got 6 watches now! Hehehe.

Proceeded to Bugis Junction and we looked at some baby stuffs. I am so truly madly deeply in love with the Winnie The Pooh collections...and also the Fox Baby's collections. Nvm, will wait till my lil one is out.."I will shop on ur behalf yah, baby! Ayah won't mind...heheheh u're the first child mah! Rite hubby?" Hur hur hur...

Oh the cluster sharing went well. I did enjoy presenting in front of about 60 people. Glamour you! Mcm Taufik Batisah gitu feeling nyer! *lol*

Yeah...I'm not revealing my baby's gender as yet. Hehe, call me mean or evil. I know it. I just love the pout your lips are making when you read this! Haha, sabar menanti yah! For now, I wanna go and prepare for my presentation on Monday. Oh yah, need to get a prezzie for hubby too...His birthday is soooooo near...N yours truly is truly out of idea of what to get for him....*puts on thinking cap*

Trip to KFC??

My gynae was dressed as though she's gonna work in KFC yesterday. This irritating hubby of mine pointed it out to me and I was so tickled by his remarks! Ye tak ye jugak, mcm kerja kat KFC lah nenek aku ni!

She did a full scan for the baby and patiently explained what can be seen from the scan. Alhamdulillah...baby is doing fine! In fact, Prof Mary Rauff kind of predicted the gender of our baby. She said there is a 95% chance that the baby will be a .....! Oooopppppppppz.....haha I've decided to leave it as a secret! Only close ones will know the gender of my baby. Wanna know??? SMS me lah....then u noe! *lol*

As usual, my lil one cannot sit still. It keeps waving its hands and kicking its legs. Errr...I've just realized tat I'm 5 mths now...tat means I'm now almost halfway there. Tis is so exciting!

Niway, will scan the pics of my lil one tomoro...I need to go back home now. Have a cluster sharing to conduct tomoro...and I need to prepare my slides for it :) Tata!

Arghhh!! I'm suppose to date Haz tomoro...but looks like I may have to cancel it due to the sickening wisdom tooth of mine. In the first place, who on earth name it WISDOM tooth, when it's not so wise after all??? Bodoh sungguh org tu!

I'm still contemplating to go to a dentist. Niway, suppose to go to my sis-in-law's place for her housewarming tomoro. But told hubby that I may have to give it a miss, all thankz to the not-so-wise WISDOM tooth of mine!

Oh....hubby bought me a Winnie The Pooh pen and plush! Nice pennnnnnnnnnn tau! I brought it to school and instantly the other Winnie The Pooh lovers were jealous of me! He bought lotsa chocolate for me too!! Heheheh....errr did I have too much of those chocolate that my tooth is aching now? :P Hmmmm, he also bought Japanese grapes back...sedap tau! Jgn jeles eh?? Oh yah to Amoy Esra:"U should go to Japan according to Faiz. Dia kata tu Hello Kitty paradise sey!" Haha, but eh I come to a conclusion that the Japanese version of the Winnie The Pooh has sepet eyes...like my hubby! Hahahahah.....nevertheless, thank u hubby, sayanggggggggggggg awak many2!

2005-09-14T20:30:00.000+08:00

Hubby-less no more! Hubby-ful!

As of tomoro, I won't be hubby-less anymore! *Pfft* Hubby's returning in a few hours time. Gosh, I'm soooooooo excited! Oh but I guess the lil one inside me is more excited than I am. My usual routine before I go to sleep is to speak to the lil one. Told the lil one that Ayah's coming home tonite and instantly, the lil one responded by giving me a very hard kick! Terkejut japz gue....haha but it's a nice feeling altogether :) Ishk...confirm yg kat dlm ni anak ayah!

Oh yeah...I am excited! Heheheh mcm first date sey! I even reminded hubby dozens time to wake me up when he comes home. Hmmmm but then again I'm not even sure if I can sleep tonite? *lol*

Back in school..work is piling! Urghhhhhhhhh....I'm going bonkers. Especially with the SAIL Cluster Sharing taking place nxt Thurs and yours truly has been appointed to conduct and organize the sharing session. My first time handling such a big event. I'm scared to be honest. Hmmm...let's just pray everything will turn out ok yah?

The kids? Errr...they're more rascalz in Term 4 as compared to the other terms. I guess tis is such a jinx period. Macam2 hal dorang create sey! Pening gue dibuatnyer. And everytime I scold the kids, the baby will kick me! Errr...baby u rejoicing at them or u angry with ur mummy for scolding them? Can't help it darling...they're juz lil rascalz! Don't take after them ok? :D

Ok...got to go and settle some stuffs....I MISS MY HUBBY! Hehehehhe! :P

2005-09-11T17:04:00.000+08:00

"Chow" Ah-Beng & Ah-Lian

What's with youngsters nowadays? They seem to be getting more and more rude! Sekali aku slapppppppppppppppppppp, baru padan muka korang! I was lining up and waiting for 174 on my way home from Jurong Point just now. Spotted a pair of Ah Beng & Ah Lian. They didn't even queue up ok! I was already telling myself...if they dare to jump my queue, I will really give them a piece of my mind. So, when the bus came, they almost jumped the queue...I snapped at them and told them:"Excuse me, I'm sure both of you are not handicapped rite? I can see you're perfectly able bodied teenage. So, please join the queue! Thank you!" Haha, the bus driver looked at me, grinned and gave me the thumbs-up. Niway, they sat in front of me...and by the look of it, I think they were rather unhappy with me lah. Heck care! Kau ada SA-LAK-KAU?? Aku ada KAU-KAU-KAU ar! *giggles* Like I said, after that they actually took out a packet of smelly rojak and ate in the bus! I was already fed-up. I kept my cool still. Then the "chow" ah lian actually switched on her handphone and played the MP3 super duper loud. By this time, I had enuff....err u guyz muz understand..it's the hols u see...I've got no students to scold and no hubby to nag at....so muz find means to vent my frustrations mah?? Heheh.....so, I politely tapped the girl's shoulder...

Me: Excuse me, but I think you're disturbing me with the smell of your rojak. Can you be more considerate and not eat in the bus? Furthermore, there's a sign on the bus which states strictly no eating. You're not blind, I assume?
Ah-lian:*twitches her mouth and turns to her bf* Pu yao kuan ha...sen chin ping (Translated: Ignore her, she's crazy!)
Me: Err...you don't understand English? *Shows the no eating sign instead*
Ah-lian: Kuan ha lah....che ke bus pu se ha de mah. (Translated: Ignore her lah, this bus doesn't belong to her)
Me: *decides that it's the best time to show off my multi-lingual skills* Tui, che ke bus pu se wo de. Ke se wo ye se huan jian mah! Ni huan jian, wo ye se huan jian. Che ke bus ye se pu se ni de! Lu kuo ni men hai se yao je ni men de rojak wo hui ken bus driver jiang! Pu yao pi wo hor! (Translated: Rite, the bus isn't mine. But I paid bus fare. You paid fare, I paid too! The bus also isn't yours. You're too much! If you don't stop eating your rojak, I will have to inform the bus driver!
Ah lian: *stops eating and looks at me* You can speak Mandarin?
Me: Singapore is a multi racial society....of course I can! Next time, be careful before you scold anyone!

Well, the couple got off the bus soon after! Haha, chet, fancy bullying a pregnant lady. No good hor??? Tu ar, aku ckp baik2 tak nak dgr.....saja nak kasi aku marahkan kan kan? Hah, rasakan!!

Niway, went to watch a movie with Haz...The Perfect Catch. Nice show! The lesson learnt from the movie is.....every couple should learn to accomodate! I didn't go back to my own house today. Perhaps tomoro I will...need to clear my laundry and also keep the house spick and span to welcome hubby home! Heheh...and also tooooooooo sleep on my bed! I miss my own bed!! *lol*

Hmmmm....discovered something when I went to Toys R' Us with Haz just now. Haha, shall post the pic tomoro yah! This entry is too long ar...wait u all get bored of reading it...*lol*

Re-ENERGIZED!

People say waiting is such a painful experience. I agree totally...but for certain things, it was worth the wait. Hubby called me at ard 9+ p.m. (Spore time), we didn't chat for long as it was really expensive. Nevertheless, it soothed me a bit to hear hubby's voice and to know that he is doing fine there. One thing for sure, I was trying hard to control my tears while speaking to him. I wanted to be strong, for him at least. Haha, but hubby, u were controlling ur tears too!! I could hear it ok! :D

Niway, 2 days down....6 more days to hubby's return from Japan! Hubby dear, I'm looking forward to ur return! Niway, I'm back at my own house for a while...as I missed my hubby terribly...Heheheh....ni tgh sniffing the pillow he used! LoL!

Meanwhile one of my granduncle passed away this morning. Al fateha to him and may Allah place his soul among the good ones...Amin.

2005-09-07T14:36:00.000+08:00

Lonesome Holiday

This is the first school holiday where I am not disturbed at all. I'm only required to come once for this one week of holiday. Am I suppose to rejoice? Hell, I'm not! Hubby's left for Japan yesterday. *sobs sobs*

It was the first night where I felt so lonely. The feeling was simply horrible! I didn't realize that I will miss him so terribly. With the major problem I am facing now, I don't know where the hell am I going to gather enuff courage to face it. No, I'm not washing my dirty linen in public. I'm juz venting my frustrations.

I know I'm not suppose to be crying....it's not good for the baby....and my health. But, what am I suppose to do? I'm all alone in this battle. No hubby...just me and the baby. The depression is really sinking in very badly. Must I sacrifice my happiness for someone else to be happy?

I've been crying a lot last nite...Even now...tears welled in my eyes as I typed the entry. Hubby, if you happen to be in an internet cafe and reading my blog, I'm sorry if those sms-es I sent u caused you to worry. I'm really at my wit's end. And for the first time in my life, I really felt very lonely. I don't know if I can carry on this battle. I'm praying that you will come back safely. I really look forward to seeing you next week.

Sighs....I miss my hubby soooooooo terribly! And I'm soooooo lonely.....*sighs*

2005-09-03T17:08:00.000+08:00

My Wishlist...

I've nvr had a wishlist....Cos in the past, I don believe in it. But now I guess I really need one.

1. I wish for everybody to be happy
Am I wrong to wish for that? No! I don't want to wish for myself to be happy. I just want everyone else around me to be happy. In fact, I'm willing to sacrifice my happiness just so that everyone can have a fair share.

2. I wish she can accept him
I just want you to accept him. Accept him for who he is. Understand that every human being has their own flaws. U're not perfect yourself, u know. Accept the way that family works. Every family works in their own way. They have their own set of rules. We have ours....so do they. Give them a chance, will you?

3. I wish he tries harder to make amends and win her heart
I know you're trying....just that I can't seem to feel that you're trying hard enuff. Please try to win her heart! I don't like to feel trapped everytime I meet her. I love you both. Both of you are very dear to me and it definitely breaks my heart to be trapped in this kinda situation.

4. I wish I am given more strength to go through this phase of life
I thought I will be able to juggle all the problems. I had always managed my problems well. Yeah...I had, once upon a time ago. Now, I crumble at the slightest cracks. What's wrong? Am I starting to be like one of those people who cannot taste failure?

5. I wish I can turn back time
If I could do this, would I still make the same decision I did? Or would things have turned out differently? Perhaps, I would still make the same decision..but tis time round, I will definitely work my butts out so that things will be better.

6. I wish the genie from Aladdin really exists!
Yeah...call me childish. But sometimes I do wish tat the genie really exists. If tat's the case, I guess no human will ever make a mistake. But then again, to err is human and to forgive is divine. Ironical aren't we as human beings?

Don't worry I am not depressed. But I am just utterly tired of being trapped. It's been a few months since I am feeling so trapped. Yg satu degil tak agak2....yg satu plak simply bo chap! Sighs....aku jugak yg pening kepala! To both of YOU, can YOU guys stop making me feel trapped??? I am really tired....please stop being so CHILDISH and behave like adults will ya!

Ok....I'm done! Heeeeee...on another note, I bought 2 children's story book from NIE bookshop after class today. One cost a dollar...the other cost $2.

Err....but will wait till you're slightly older tho'*

Counting Down....

No, no I'm not counting down to my delivery date! I'm counting down to the days I will be left alone without hubby by my side. As mentioned in one of my posts, hubby will be sent to Japan for 10 days. Cilaka punyer Mediacorp...nak kidnap laki aku sampai 10 hari!!! Niway, he's leaving at 12 midnite on 6th Sept. It's my second day of the holidays. *sighs* I can't see him off at the airport. Firstly, it's too late and being pregnant, everybody doesn't allow me to go out late at nite. Secondly, hubby will be leaving from his workplace, tat is, Mediacorp office itself.

Yesterday, hubby was talking to me abt tis matter. He even told me tat he wasn't worried abt himself....as he's more worried abt me. Well, I've never been apart from him ever since we got married. I've yet to decide if I will stay over at my mum's place or just stay at home alone. But knowing me, I get bored easily. Haha, maybe I should call some of my frens to have a sleepover at my place. *winkz winkz*

I'm sooooooooo gonna miss hubby. Till then, I must make full use of the remaining time I have with him. Oklah I'm sooooooooo sleepy and crappy....tata! Have a great week ahead!

When I grow up, I want to be a ....

Hmmmm....the Primary 3 students had their screening exam last Saturday. Well, for those of you who are still ignorant about what screening is all about, I'll enlighten you! It's basically a test to sieve out the gifted students. I saw the paper. It wasn't easy though I manage to do the questions. I often wonder what it's like to be gifted. Sometimes, I wish my future child can be gifted too. However on another hand, there's tis worry of being too booksmart! Hey, too much of booksmart is no good huh! Let me present you an example. I was having my Science tutorial last Friday. We were having some hands on activities and learning how a simple thing like a shoe can be used to teach science skills. So, tis was wat happen:

Tutor: Ok, I want all of you to donate one side of ur shoe so that we can carry out tis activity.
*Everyone does so*
Tutor: Ok, can anybody come up here and help us classify the shoes?
*A guy comes up and volunteer*
Tutor: Ok...let's classify them into heels and no heels.
*Guy looks confused that all of us had to help him out*
Tutor: Ok, now classify those with laces and those without them.
*Guy scratches his head and again, we have to point out the shoes wit laces*
Guy: Ohhhhh you mean shoelaces ah?

Can you see my point? How gundu can he be?? When we're talking about shoes, of cos it's shoelaces we're talking abt lah...Cannot be lingerie lace rite??? *slaps forehead* Tat's y being only booksmart is no good! You must be streetsmart too!

Niway, tat's the life I'm having now. Halfway thru my degree programme. In abt a year's time, I will be getting my Bachelor of Arts (Education)....I will get to wear my dream convocation gown and the mortar board. It has always been my dream.....But now I'm faced with fear. Fear that I mite not be able to complete my degree programme in time....fear of not being able to juggle between being a mum and a student. In short, I fear that I won't be able to give my best in whatever I do.

Nihow, back to the topic.....teacher wasn't my ambition definitely. Haha, I had always wanted to grow up to be an accountant...heheheh looks like my accounting skills sucks a lot...tat's y I ended up being a teacher!

Ok got to go and wake hubby up now. Ishk tgh hari buta gini pon membuta! Truk betul lah laki aku ni! :P

Chip Of The Old Block!

Had my gynae appointment just now. It was my first appointment with A/P Mary Rauff. All along, I had gone to the subsidised clinic...cos we've yet to decide on which gynae to choose. Niways, she's a nice, sweet and petite lady, I must say! For the first time, hubby tagged along. He picked me up from school at ard 1.45 p.m. and we proceeded to NUH. Haha, the best part was we almost got lost! *lol* The blurr me has never known that there are actually 2 buildings in NUH, the main building and the Kent Ridge wing. But eventually we reached our destination!

Was a bit nervous. I exclaimed to hubby tat I was having butterflies in my tummy. And guess what?? He answered that it's a baby in my tummy and not butterflies! *Pfft!*

Was briefed on the package price and the hospitalisation fees. Then proceeded for the scan. I was more than excited....so was hubby I guess! Guess what?? As A/P Mary Rauff was scanning my tummy, we saw the baby's legs moving around. Aiyohhhh!! Even the gynae commented that our baby is one active baby. Not enuff with moving its' legs, the baby even stretched itself!! Haha, that was when hubby commented:"Part dia menggeliat, sebijik mcm awak! Sooooooooooooo menggelitis!" Aikz, then blame it on me?? Haha, but to come to think of it again, the baby does take after my hyperactivity! Kwang kwang kwang...wait till I can feel the kick....baru padan muka aku! Niway, thruout the whole scan, the baby didn't stop moving! Aiyo-yo, it's as if the baby knows that his parents are watching him...and he must show off his talents! Soooooo like ayah dia, this part! *lol*

I called Mama to tell her about my non-stop moving baby...and mama said:"Macam kau lah! Tak boleh diam seminit!" Aikz, kena lagik!! Haha forgot to ask her if I was like tat when I was in her tummy!

Boy or gal ar??? Haha, I also donno lah! Too early to tell...will be going for a full scan next month...and guess wat? Hubby's decided to ask for leave again and accompany me again nxt month! Heeeee.....hubby dear, u're addicted to seeing the baby move hah? :P

Ok got to go...will scan the pic of my darling baby tomoro! Nitey nitez!

2005-08-20T17:26:00.000+08:00

Helpful Kaypoh!

Did I mention tat I can be such a kaypoh-chiak at times? Haha, well it proved to come in handy yesterday! I was on my way to Mama's place when I saw a small boy walking all alone. He caught my attention as he was crying as he walked. I kinda wondered...there were many people around...but not even a single soul approached this poor little boy. So, being the kaypoh-chiak, I approached the little boy...

Me: Kenapa adik nangis?
Boy: *wails out loud* Mak kita hilang!
Me: *pikiran japz.....Mak dia ilang ker dia yg ilang?* Ok, ada number telefon Mak tak? *takes my hp out with confidence*
Boy: Tak ada.
Me: Erm.....nombor ayah?
Boy: Tak tahu.
Me: Errr....nombor rumah?
Boy: Pon tak tau.
Me: *slaps my forehead and thinks fast* Ok, adik tinggal kat mana?
Boy: Kita tinggal kat...Entah kita lupa!
Me: *slaps forehead harder* Tadi adik kat mana, mcm mana boleh hilang mak?
Boy: Entah, kita diri...lepas tu mak jalan...tinggalkan kita sorang2.
Me: *pikiran lagiks..takkan lah mak dia tinggalkan dia sengsorang sey* Ok, tadi mak kat mana? Dia buat apa?
Boy: Dia kat sana...tgh beli rumah.
Me: *looks around...and can only think of the Town Council* Ok, cik bawak pergi sana eh? *points to the Town Council building* Kat situ eh dik?
Boy: Tak! Kat WestMall....
Me: *Istighfar...bukan nak ckp siang2!* Ok cik bawak pergi WestMall.
Boy: Tadi mak kita kat tingkat dua.
Me: Ok, takper cik bawak pergi Information Counter.

There at the Information Counter, his mum was waiting anxiously with his younger bro. His mum thanked me and told me that usually it's the younger bro who would run ard.

Anyway, the day is saved thankz to the KAYPOH-CHIAK! *lol* Told hubby about it...and he commented:"Awak tolong budak tu pon pasal mmg awak kepo!" Chet! Should be proud you know that ur wife doesn't belong to one of the Singaporeans who totally turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the boy's cries for help!

Had lesson at NIE just now. As usual after class, me and Haz roamed around Jurong Point. Kita ni kan penjaga keamanan Jurong Point...tol tak Haz? *lol* Heheh, I pyscho-ed Haz into buying a pair of shoes form SWANK! Heheheh! Niway, talked to Haz about my problems....and she told me hers. Well, life is really full of problems I guess! Guess wat? I was such a bummer today! I've forgotten to bring my handphone! *slaps forehead* Oh yeah, met up with Eny..my JI fren! She still looks the same! Or...perhaps...I'm the one who's put on weight! Hahahhaha....

Ok got to go and clean up the house. We're expecting Misa and her fiance, Nizam! Can't wait to meet her again! Heheh, Misa...tis time round, we don't need to meet at 7-11 anymore! Haha! Have a great weekend everyone! :D

Oh yeah n to parents whose children are having CA2....don stress your kid hor cos' the teachers have stressed them enuff! *lol*

Hope Is Found

First and foremost, I would like to thank MK, Ayu aka Blackrose aka Pengantin 2B and Kak Rida for those soothing SMS-es. It helped to calm me down certainly. I'm really touched by your concern. Thankz a lot yah! Esp to Kak Rida....thankz for taking time to listen to my woes....even though you had yours! *lol*

Second, to all other bloggers who had left words of encouragement in my comments box! I really appreciate them.....:)

Guess it must be the hormonal change in me. But I've found back the ray of lights! There's always sunshine after the rain I guess! So, don worry folks, I'm alrite now!

On another note, hubby's going to Japan on 3rd Sept...He'll be there with the camera crew...for FIVE days! Ishk....tis Mediacorp hor...not fair leh...kidnap my hubby until 5 days. It's the school holidays... I wish I cld follow but hor the ka-ching doesn't allow me to lah! *lol* I've not decided if I am staying over with Mama. Hubby suggested for mum-in-law to stay over at our place and accompany me. Eeeeekkksss!! I told him tat I'd rather be alone. Aiyohhhh....if got mum-in-law ar susah leh, cannot wake up late...must keep the house spick n span! In short a lot of restrictions.....hehehhe! So most prob, I'll stay at home on my own. Nak golek2 atas katil ari2 pon takde org larang! *lol*

Niway I had lunch with Thamby and Kak Rida. Nice meeting u guys again....Err n Thamby, thankz for the treat! Lain kali ajak aku lagi ar eh! *giggles*

BZ week nxt wk.....EV team coming. Mcm takde time lain nak dtg gitu! Oh yah, I'm meeting my gynae next Tues...and for the first time (finally, he managed to get a leave!) hubby's gonna accompany me there! Was told tat I will get to scan my lil' one! So exciting! Hehehhe hopefully will be able to know the gender as well! *Don't hide your gender yah, lil one!*

Oh yah, did I mention tat I am trying my best to give my baby a name which starts with A,B,C or D? Why only those letters huh? So that my child will be in the first 20 in class. Being in the first 20 in class has its benefits u noe! They get to be the first few during oral exams. Advantage? Aiyohhhhh, teachers are more lenient and fresher during the first half. Second half...usually teachers get bored and tired (esp after heavy teabreak! *lol*) And no long names for my child please....kesian budak tu tulis nama dia panjang2! Nanti nama bapak dia jugak dia tinggalkan! *grins*

Ok....I think I've crapped enuff! Hehehe...just to prove to u I'm alright now! *bluekz*

Down, down, down

I'm feeling down! Terribly, super duper down. There's just so much negative thoughts in my head. Sometimes I wonder...why can't life be just simple? Why must there be so much complications?

Due to all these problems, I broke my "no-bike" rulings yesterday. After visiting my mum, I decided to go for a ride on my darling. Nobody seems to understand me better than darling XR. With a speed of 130 km/h, I rode down to West Coast Park and reached there in only 10 minutes! Sat there for about an hour and cried my heart out! It didn't even bother me tat onlookers were like peering at me....giving me the "are-you-okay?" look. No, I am NOT okay! If I were okay, I wldn't be riding at a speed of 130 km/h, just to sit at West Coast and cry my heart out! I'm back to riding. Call me crazy, call me insane. I don't give a damn anymore. The only one who gives me hope then and again is my darling XR. He gives me the adrenaline rush when I go on high speed....and he certainly makes me forget whatever problems I face. Such wonderful creation!

It's so difficult pleasing everybody. Mama claimed that she had given up hope on him. I don blame mama...after all my family has been brought up in a certain way. His family too has their own way of upbringing. I may not agree with certain ways...but who am I to criticize? After talking to Mama yesterday, I, too, feel like giving up hope. Give up hope on who though? I'm giving up hope on.....perhaps life....perhaps circumstances..perhaps my family..perhaps him...perhaps the baby...perhaps myself? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps....

Life is such, ain't it? Pardon me, for the melancholic entry. I'm just in my negative zone. Don't judge me or criticize me! One day u mite be in the situation that I'm in. Don't sympathize either....cos I don need it. I don seem to be seeing any sign of positivity or any rays of light that may bring hope to me.......Till then, I will be away........to find hope for myself.......Au revoir everyone!

Memories...

Taken from Channelnewsasia.com:

SINGAPORE : The body of a teenager, who went missing in Kallang River on Sunday, was found at about 10.50am.

Muhammad Hazwan Bin Hamzah, 16, was pronounced dead by paramedics at 11.10am.

Police and naval diving units found the body where he was believed to have drowned.

The Secondary 4 student of Bedok Town Secondary was hanging out with a group of five friends by the river - a routine the boys do every Sunday morning.

But on Sunday morning, Hazwan Hamzah decided to go for a swim. He jumped into the water and faced some difficulties.

When he shouted for help, two of his friends jumped into the water to help him but he was nowhere to be found.

Hazwan Hamzah was due to sit for his N-level exams.

The boy's family, who were at the scene, was overcome with grief when they had to identify the body.

Police said there were no other injuries on the body. They have classified the case as unnatural death. - CNA

I felt for the family of the deceased. At the same time, memories flashed back instantly. Kallang River used to be my playground, or rather, OUR playground. I remembered my first encounter with Kallang River was during my Sec 1 years. It was one of the practical days during our NCC(Sea) days and as Sec 1 cadets, we had to learn canoeing. Did I mention I had a phobia for water? Yeah I did, and weird was it that I chose NCC(Sea) as my CCA knowing tat I WAS afraid of water. Niways, it was the first practical lesson and I was paired with Nurimah. Everything went well....till it rained very heavily. This was what happened then:

Me: Nuri, kita tak nampak apa2! Mata kita pedih ar!
Nuri: Takper, takper awak tutup mata! Kita nampak.
Me: *as the river got choppier* Awak!! Kita takut!!
Nuri: Awak jgn takut. Kalau awak takut, baca bismillah 10 kali.
Me: *like a small gal, follows Nuri's instructions*

Those were the days when we used "kita2, awak2" to call to each other. Basically, we spent most of our Saturdays in Kallang River. We learnt canoeing, pulling and even outboard motor handling there. We had been there as cadets...as instructors...and even as Cadet Lieutenants!

Shocked was I by the news of the death of the boy! I didn't know my then playground had become a deathplace for another person. To the family of the deceased, my condolences. To the deceased, may Allah place you among the good souls.

Al-fateha.

Nureen

That's hubby's new niece! She weighs 3670g. Mind you, lenguh tgn gue dukung dia! Haha, I remembered passing her over to my mum-in-law when I felt numbness in my hand. Alah anak org bleh ar main passing2...kalau anak sendri, baru padan muka hang! *grins*

Niway, here's a pic of Qistina and her newly born sister. She looks sooooo kakak2. The moment there was visitor, she would immediately introduce her sister:

"Ini adik Nina. Nama dia Nureen Insyirah."

Me n hubby decided to tease her by pretending to be going home with her new sister. She was sooooooo mad at us! She wouldn't allow anyone to bring her sis back! *lol* Kids are just irresistable at times...:)

2005-08-12T12:00:00.000+08:00

Another niece

Was just asking hubby when my sis-in-law will be due. Called her up but her first daughter picked up the phone and told us should be by 19th Aug.

At ard 1+ in the morning, we received an sms saying tat his sis has given birth to a baby girl. Alhamdulillah! Haha....tat'll be my mum-in-law's 6th grandchild....to be exact, 5th grand-daughter. Hmmmm seems like Thaqib is still the only male domineering. Next on the list will be my baby of course. Hubby wants a boy. For me? Hmmmmmm...I've got no comments.....be it boy or gal, I'll accept...yg penting baby sihat.

Niway, hubby has been religiously rubbing my tummy and talking to the baby every nite before we go to bed. So as usual, he was on his daily ritual when all of a sudden:

Hubby: Were you moving?
Me: No. I'm lying down still.
Hubby: *excitedly* The baby just kicked!
Me: Huh? Mana bleh rasa?
Hubby: Iyer....u said u didn't move...but I felt a kick!
Me: Hmph! Not fair! How come the ayah feels it first but not the mummy! Pi lah dok kat perut ayah tu!
Hubby: *smiles sheepishly*

See...dlm perut lagi dah anak ayah. Jealous? No lah....well I'm glad that hubby is excited over the kick...which I've yet to feel. Hmmmmmm....tapi asal eh hubby dpt rasa n I still can't? Weird....nvm I believe I shld feel it soon. So unfair!

2005-08-10T12:31:00.000+08:00

40 years and still going on strong

It's the Nation's birthday yesterday. She turned 40. What's your wish for her? Racial harmony? Hmmm...speaking of which, I'm uncertain....how many people are religiously practicing the "living-in-a-multi-racial-country-harmoniously" rule? I was a little pissed when I came to know about some ppl who are still anti-Malays/ anti-coloured people.

Was directed to his blog by Hakiima. Who is he to criticize? Why is he criticizing?

But one thing for sure, I pity him. My advice to him: "Nak, bertaubatlah kamu selagi kamu boleh. Kang bila kau mati, bumi mana pon tak nak terima lu! Tu jam, baru padan muka lu!" Hmmmm......on the other hand, he just seems like another attention seeker. Kesian....takde org nak kasi kau attention eh? Kalau asik dok mengata org ajer, mcm mana org nak kasi perhatian. Cuba dok diam2 jadi budak baik....mesti ramai org suka punyer! :P I came up with another theory though....tat he's been rejected by a Malay girl! *lol* Alah bunga bukan sekuntum per!!

But on a serious note, I am pissed off at him. He's one of the most unfeeling, uncouth, uncivilized barbarian I've ever met! Meh lah kita sama2 hentam dia yokzzzzz!!

On a different note, went to Mama's place yesterday. I told her about my "not-so-successful" attempt to cook shabsuka. Guess what? She called me at ard 10.30 a.m. yesterday and told me tat she's cooked Shabsuka for me!! Hehehe, I proceeded to her place. It was fun at Mama's place. Stayed there till end of the parade. Mum's fren which is also her mum gave me a steamer set! Perfect for our new house! :D Oklah...wanna go and find sthg to eat. I swear I have such a big appetitite...and a sweet tooth nowadays!

2005-08-03T18:55:00.000+08:00

Hmph!

Had P6 Oral just now. Was testing the P6EM3 students. Some could read very well, but most couldn't. Anyway, tat's not the issue. I had such a hilarious time just now. Read the scenarios below...:P

Scenario 1:

Me: Ok, we're moving on to Conversations now. Do you have a best friend?
Student A: Yes.
Me: Alrite, tell us more about your best friend.
Student A: My "breast" friend is kind and helpful. She always borrows me money.
Me: *controls laughter*

Scenario 2:

Me: You may begin reading once you're ready.
Student B: Starts reading passage...."Both of them had been the best of friends for scissors..."
Me: *checks the passage....the words were "six years"! Slaps forehead*

Scenario 3:

Me: Tell us more about your best friend.
Student C: I've no best friend.
Me: Ok, but I'm sure you have some good or close friends rite? Tell me about them.
Student C: I don't know. I don't like to friend anyone lah.
Me: *slaps forehead*

I like Scenario 1 the best of course! Me and my partner were still giggling over it after the whole thing. Hmmmmm....let me see....anyone out there who want to be my "breast friend"? :P

Dehydration!

A few hours ago, I was put on drip! Thankz to Mr. Dehydration who decided to pay me a visit. I had been vomitting fluid for the past 2 days. This morning, I felt rather unwell and decided not to go to work. I was about to get ready to go to my family doctor when my body felt super duper weak. Msged Kak Rida and told her abt it. She was the one who calmed me down and told me tat it could be just dehydration. But at the same time, she told me to go to the hospital straightaway. Thankz Kak Rida! Msged hubby immediately and he told me tat he's finishing work and he will send me to the hospital when he returned. Met him at the bus stop and was surrounded by a sea of cockroaches under the void deck. (They had just fumigated tat area, u see) But I guess I was too weak to even bother abt the cockroaches.

At NUH, met the doctor and told him what happen. He got me to open my mouth and diagnosed dehydration immediately. I was kept in the observation ward...and put on drip! Ugh! Painful man the needle! Then this "modjo-jo-jo" hubby of mine scared me by saying tat the needle was soooooo long. Kureng asamnyer hubby! While I was on drip, I had the chance to look around to find out who are my neighbours! Haha, dasar kepo dan tak boleh duduk diam! And oh yah, I managed to snap a pic of my hand with the drip! :P Whenever hubby popped in to check on me, I kept asking him for the time and telling him tat I was bored. *lol* I wonder what will really happen if I have to stay long in the hospital! Mati kutu gue!

Anyway, thankfully I need not be warded...oh and did I tell u I was soooooo hyper after the drip that the first comment hubby made was:"Alamak, drip tu air gula ker? Awak ni hyper semacam sey! Tadi mcm ayam berak kapur!" Bluekz!!!!!!!!

Ok wanna go and sleep now! Nitez everybody!

2005-07-28T10:23:00.000+08:00

Parents! Ugh!

Had a complain from a parent. She claimed tat I did not provide any spelling list and that I've not conducted spelling at all. Helloooooooo! I've just conducted spelling last friday. Spelling list has been given out at the start of the year. Ugh! And the idiotic No.2 trusted the parents more than her own teachers. Numbskull!

I'm pissed! Can I get even with the child????

2005-07-25T21:11:00.000+08:00

Shabsuka!

Searched hi n low for my shabsuka. So disappointed was I tat I nearly gave up. Then one day, the Hardworking fairy dropped by and sprinkled me wit some hardworking dust. Tada, so hardworking was I that I decided to try my hand at cooking shabsuka myself. There's the results.....taste wise? Still need improvement lah! *giggles*

2005-07-24T12:57:00.000+08:00

Backstab Is The In Thing?

Had a discussion with my RO the other day. She mentioned basically one concern. Yeah, remember the incident I had wit tat mama pariak lady in school? My RO told me that she was rather concern it mite affect my performance ranking. This was the gist of conversation we had:

RO: Hus, you know after what happen tat day, I'm really concern n afraid that it's gonna affect ur performance ranking.
Me: But Mrs. Sim, I was literally left alone with a new jobscope without anyone telling me wat to do at all. She's a last minute person and I am not. Everybody has different style of working. I'm not a last minute person. I crack up under pressure. I tolerated her...but when things go wrong, she just turn around and stab me frm the back. Is it fair?
RO: Look, Husna. This is what I call politics. Whether you like it or not, you have to face it. Now you know her style, approach her before she approach you.
Me: I hate that word: POLITICS. Why is the world so dishonest?
RO: Tat's life, my dear. I know you've been working hard. I appreciate that. But I really hope you'll stop working hard....but work smart instead.
Me: Ok, I will try.
RO: And Husna, if you have to backstab someone to save your own butt, JUST DO IT!
Me: *sighs*

So, backstabbing an in-thing now? Maybe my RO is rite. I should and mite as well just stop being the nice, helpful Husna. Maybe I should go for a makeover. Perhaps, change to a bastard, backstabber and hypocrite Husna after that? Wallahu-alam-bis-sawaf.

Spoke to a fren and she said: "Don't bother what people say or ask you to do. Ask yourself. Nawaitunyer mesti betul dan mesti kerana Allah." I guess she's rite. Why bother abt worldly stuffs? After all, like my new song says:"Everything I do, I dedicate to You. Cause You made me and I am for You." But then again.....*sighs*...it's a harsh world we're living in, ain't it?

On a brighter and cheerful note (haha, my RO did remind me: Stay cheerful for the sake of the baby!) I met Hazelee at York hotel yesterday when I went for a Science workshop. Hehe, boy was I glad to see her! We went on a short shopping spree as I tink both of us are really tired liaow. Nvm, Haz, we shall catch up on Monday!

NIE's starting nxt wk. I'm sooooo not looking forward to starting term again. With my easily-tired attitude and the BIKELESS me, I am gonna be soooooo lazy! Persevere Husna, you're gonna finish it in Dec 2006. Oh yah, last nite, I decided to read up the CTL202 *as thick as 40 odd pages* notes. But in the end, I fell asleep! *lol* Semangat sungguh 5 minit!

On a different note, hmmmmm the baby is now 12 weeks. I find it pretty fast. Morning sickness is not that bad anymore. Appetite still not that good. I can't finish my food like before. So in the end, the food goes to hubby. Haha, I am the reason why hubby seems to be putting on weight! *lol* To hubby: Takper, org lelaki gemuk tak pasal....pompan tak bleh gemuk2...nanti tak lawa! :P

Ok..betta go....I'm soooo crappish! *:P*

Half Blood Prince

I've finally finished reading Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince. Collected it on Saturday and only managed to finish it last nite. So engrossed was I that I even scolded hubby who distracted me while I was reading the book. Haha, that's me alrite! I refuse to be distracted whenever I am doing someting..especially reading Harry Potter's books! Must say, overall, I find the ending of this book a bit hanging. I was expecting to see Voldemort and Harry in action again. Alas, it didn't turn out tat way. Hmmmm, could Rowling be coming up with another book? *winkz* Was surprised that Harry liked Ginny and that Ron actually gave his blessings to both of them! Heh, surprised me a lot! Niway, he died....which saddens me! He's been appearing in all the books and he had to die now. Spoke to one of my colleagues and she said:"It's about time he die lah. Dia pon dah tua. Kasi lah dia rest!" *lol*

On another note, I've been craving all types of food and some are rather easy to find....there are others which are rare too. There was one day, I was craving for cempedak goreng. Smsed hubby abt it....and tis was wat he replied:

Me: I want to eat cempedak goreng lah, dear.
Hubby: Huh? Mana nak carik? Kita bukan tinggal Geylang.
Me: Hmmmm...if u find then u buy..if not nvm.
(A few minutes later)
Hubby: Ok, don't sleep first! I've got the cempedak goreng for u.
Me: Yipeeee! Where did you get it from?
Hubby: I've asked Syukor's mum to fry it for u.
*smiles gleefully*

Sooooooo, to you...Mr. Syukor, if u're reading my blog, thank your mum for the cempedak goreng eh! Cempedak goreng dia sedap!! And thankz to you too, for going down to buy tat cempedak for me! Haha, guess it's the tradition of the Malay society to sympathize with pregnant ladies. Now, I've been craving for Kacang Phool and Shabsuka! Hehe, shall ask my mummy dearest to cook it for me! Or anyone knows where I can get it from?

Ok...got to go now....I wanna eat my Snickers! Been a long time since I last touched chocolate! :D Oh yeah, my home will be furnished with internet connection today! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee......I can update from home liao! So, expect more updates :D

Au Revoir, K500i

I've said my parting words to my K500i yesterday nite. Decided to trade it in..and yeah I'm back with Nokia! This Sony Ericsson phone of mine seems to hang a lot. Tat's why I was kinda frustrated and decided to revert back to Nokia.

I love my new phone! It has the latest gadgets...hmmmmm...I've decided tat I shall upload the Yusof Islam's song into the MMC card of my phone. :D

Went to Geylang yesterday to get myself some new clothings. I can't fit into some of my old clothings, I tell u! Especially my pants....:(! So, off I went to Geylang with hubby. Bought some Islamic CDs. Well, both me n hubby were determined to introduce Islamic music to our baby right from the womb :) Haha, kiasu huh?

Oh yeah, even bought this Quranic storybook for children. It is in English and it costs $36. Kinda expensive...but if I am willing to invest in Harry Potter books...I believe I should be fair and invest in some Islamic books as well for collection of Children's storybooks. Yah, I am a children's storybook fanatic! I've one big storage box full of storybooks...haha and English ones I have to admit! Err...maybe I should start collecting Malay books too? :P Ok, hubby's gonna scream his top at me if I were to buy more story books!

Went home feeling tired....but definitely a satisfied shopper with bags of new clothes, new tudungs, Yusof Islam's CD (after sooooooo long!) and a new phone! Niway, I've collected the latest Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I'm still reading it though! But hubby made me promise that I will also read a story from the Quranic stories that we bought. He claims tat too much Harry Potter is no good! *lol* Bias against Harry Potter man!

Oklah...wanna go n grab something to eat! Tata all!

Unwelcomed Visitor

A python decided to pay a visit to my school this morning. It was about 7 or 8 feet long! Damn huge man! The kids spotted it first and reported to the teachers. The lembap police took so long. The kids seem more excited than scared...*lol*

In Loving Memory Of...

To my loveliest "boyfriend",

I must admit that I am missing you terribly. It's been almost a month since I've neglected you. In fact, I realized tat ever since I got married, I had totally neglected you. I realized how useful you are. I've also learnt how much you mean to me. In fact, you mean the world to me. I'm sorry that I will have to put you in another person's hands....and I'll pray that the person will take care of you better than I do. Meanwhile, you'll always be in my loving memory. I will be back for you ten months frm now.....

Love you always,
HuS

P/S: Shall we bring the baby along for a ride when he/she is big enuff to ride on you??? *grins*

My BKK Trip

Bangkok trip was great! Err....except for the second day though. Niway, we reached Bangkok at 10.20 a.m. and proceeded straight to Baiyoke Sky Hotel to check-in. After settling ourselves down, we decided to check out Pratunam area and went to have lunch as both of us had actually skipped breakfast! Food there wasn't tat great and honestly, I miss food! There were a few North Indian restaurants near the hotel where we were putting up. First day...didn't shop much. Juz bought some sunglasses. Hehe...hubby got himself the Oakley look-a-like, while I got myself the YSL look-a-like. Oh yeah, when we came back from our nite surveying, we got a surprise from the hotel. There was a lovely heartshaped cake with the words "Happy Honeymoon" written on it. Both me n hubby were soooooooo delighted and we tot tat it was sweet of the hotel~~!

Second day, went for breakfast at Baiyoke itself. First impression of the breakfast menu: IMPRESSIVE! Then walked to World Trade Centre. Over there, I was hit by Mr. Nauseous! Rested at Mister Donut...and had some donuts. The donuts were cheap I must admit! Then continued our journey to Big C...I should say it's Thailand's version of Carrefour. The things there are super duper cheap too! The baby bottles cost only 80cents! So did the baby changing mat! We grabbed a few for hubby's upcoming niece. Couldn't continue after tat. We took a tuk-tuk back to the hotel. Heheh.....I must admit, I enjoyed every single moment on that tuk-tuk...Hahah thrillinggggggggg! Hubby on the other hand was looking a bit nervous. Psst....dear, if u wanna noe, tat was how I ride my bike too! *giggles* Guess wat? I spent my second day sleeping a lot!!! Hur hur hur......I've been pretty lazy and lethargic these few days! At nite, went to Lumpini Night Market aka Suan Lum Nite Bazaar. The things there are beautiful and expensive too...Managed to grab 4 cushion covers and 1 table runner at the cost of 20SGD though.

Third day, went to MBK to hunt for some more stuffs! Bought things for his sisters, bro-in-laws, my sister, my parents and his mum. *Phew* Stress gue tau!

Niway, really hope to go there again! Heheh...insya-Allah...Pics will be up as soon as I've found my USB cable. Oh yeah, did I mention tat I've shifted? Yuppz...me at my new house with no internet connection. Sian hor?? Niway I'm in school now, so I'm updating my blog while waiting for the Hot Potatoes workshop to start...Sian!
