Sorry

Im praying to Almighty our marriage will be just like every beautiful love stories, princess married to the prince and were living happily ever after..and bla bla bla.
As I was sleeping ,my phone rang:
"He..l..lloo..?"
"Ye.Akak nak ckp ni, jgnla kacau suami akak.Kesianlah kami anak beranak ni."
"Haaa..????sape ni?"


I looked at my clock.It was 2.46am, Saturday night.

"Ya Allah,sape ni. Mummy..you ke?"

"Haaa??..Mcm ni, akak nk bgtau.Kami dah ada anak 7.Jgnlah kacau suami akak.Awak nak ape sebenarnya?"
"Haaa...???Salah number kot..ape ni?Mum, is that you?U buat lawak ke ape ni?Ke K.Fuz ni?"

I was so blur. I rubbed my sleepy eyes,I asked myself, am I dreaming?
"Akak diam je selama ni.Akak tau adik dah kenal more than 3 yrs.Dah nak kahwin pun kan."

What on earth is she saying??!!3 years...!??.
I woke up.I put away my blanket. I told myself to stay cool.

" Jappp japp..you ni salah number ni.You nak ckp dengan siapa? I baru je guna number fon ni..tak sampai setahun pun.(in fact tak sampai 6 mths!)Mcm mana u kata I text husband you 3 years?..U must be kidding.I dun even know who are you, and your husband! "

"Alah, org kalau dah buat salah takkan mengaku, itu akak paham.nnti suatu hari Allah balas balik semua...Abang ada bgtau awak kami ada anak ramai?Akak ni penat mengajar siang malam....bla bla bla.."
Saying that, tears filled my eyes,I was deeply touched.
"Chop, seryes ni..I guess you salah number.I dah kawin pun. Buat ape kacau suami org!"
"U duk Kg Hilir kan?"

I was like..WHAT THE HELL IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?
You are talking crap!
" I duk KL.!"
OMG, where the hell is Kg Hilir by the way?Can anyone educate me?
"Ohh..mintak maaf..maybe silap tekan.Ke before ni ada org guna line ni"

"I have no idea.Tapi saya pakai line ni baru few months.Kalau before ni ada org lain yg pakai, saya tataulah.Im sorry about your husband but trust me, I have no idea what are you talking about."

and then she hangs up.

I feel sorry for her. On the other hand,I saw Obsessed last night .I wasnt expecting much from the movie.It was so right and full of cliches.The plot was beyond predictable. The best part, Ali Larter played crazy as well,she was so Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.Hmm, they could come up with a few more original plots.

All in all, yeahh ..movie was good. But, it could be a lot better.

p.s: sampai skang ni aku rasa mcm tak percaya ckp ngn org yg silap tekan number!Ada org buat april fool ke?
Pastu, Character Ali Larter tu..hmm sgtlah buatkan hatiku geraaam!:p
Love.

Hari Perkahwinan Aidil&Sari


We had a wonderful wedding experience in Kelantan.Yaa..beautiful wedding,an amazing trip and great food. Once again, it turns out that is it great having friends all over the place. Guess what, I was wearing baju kurung from day to night!! At the evening,went to Pantai Cahaya Bulan, had some celup-celup, sate ikan and etc. At night, went to night market at Wakaf Che Yeh together with the bride and groom and Hafez's family. . The night markets usually open around 6pm and are busy until past midnight.We stayed there for at least 2 hours. Sari and Hafez'sister wanted to find some stuffs.
And yes, yours truly still in baju kurung ( tahu perasaan melekit sgt2?eeee-uuuhh)

Tell you, we didnt book any hotels from KL *smile*. Hmm, we try to find around a place for lodging( and it was 130am!)Finally,we managed to find a place to rest our heads ,cost around RM85 per room. Not bad, but quite small and creepy( of course bilik lama kan)I forgot to snap any photos tho!

To Aidil:
Congrats.As usual, Semoga Kekal ke Akhir Hayat.
And to my dear Sari:
Diamonds are a girl's best friends. And I guess, you have one now!
Congrats babe! :p
p.s: Stay tuned for our next journey!

Love

Oh, Pembantu Rumah!!

I have a lingering thought that I wanna share with u guys. Average salary for maids is around RM400-450. Just recently, an article in The Star dated 9th June 2009,


BE PREPARED to dig deeper into your pockets for an Indonesian maid.Sin Chew Daily quoted Indonesia’s Ambassador to Malaysia Dai Bachtiar as saying that the minimum pay would be set at RM600 a month with the move to be implemented in September.

Dai Bachtiar had, in an exclusive interview, said this was still lower than what Indonesian maids in other countries were paid.

Indonesian maids in Saudi Arabia draw a monthly salary of RM900, while their counterparts in Hong Kong earn RM1,300 a month and get a day off each week.

Currently there are 10,000 Indonesian maids in Hong Kong, and some 30,000 in Malaysia.


Let's face it, maids are a necessity nowadays. Especially, if u have little kids and both of u are working. BUT, if there is a minimum wage set and the amount is quite high, it is gonna be a burden towards a majority of malaysian middle class workers.

Just a simple comparison will shows that the figure is ridiculous because full time maids normally will get free lodging and food. In fact, I personally haven't heard of any cases that will suggest otherwise. For example, a Malaysian worker at a supermarket, the average income would be around RM700-800 and u need to at least have PMR or SPM and speak a bit of English. Only, there is no such things as free lodging and food.

Do u know how much is the cost to rent a room and getting a proper meals per month?

Why do we need to pay our maids higher salary than our own Malaysian people that have basic education?

If they compare what they are getting with their counterparts in Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong, why don't they compare the salary and spending power of their employer as well?

When the ambassador make such statement and demand, u cannot simply pick and choose what u want to compare. That is irresponsible. In conclusion, a demand without a basic is just like asking a ransom without a hostage (sorry guys, too much watching movie).

Did u noticed, when things like this 'pop out' and become a hot topic suddenly in the media and papers there will be always sensational news about maids getting battered, locked in a room or did not get a proper meals? BUT, how about the story about maids that are properly treated, that joins us on our vacation or the best part, that we treated like our own family.

Mr. Apeng..

p/s Alhamdulillah, presently we still managed to live our life without a maid. My husband is the only one out working whille I'm bless that I have the option of working from home and in the same time fulfil my duties as a housewife.

The question is, what about people that don't have a choice?

Activity

Hi everybody!
Last 31st May, our family( sebelah husband) from Johor came to our house.Meriah sungguh rumah kami, sampai rasa mcm dlm cerita Cheaper By the Dozen :-)
My sister( husband's sister) surprised me with her "hot selling cupcakes".Oh dear, I love it so badly.Thanks sweetheart!Seryes sedapp giller! Sape2 suka silalah menenpah ye.I think part of the reason we get along with each other so well is that we are honest and upfront with each other. We don't hold grudges, and if something is bothering us, we talk it out.Right, Cik Na?Hmm:p

My mother-in-law, , loves to show her love through her cooking-and man.. she can cook!Thanks Emak sbb bawakan buah-buahan & makanan tu semua. My father in law on the other hand ..hmm loves sweetened Nescafe...Well, certain things about them has allowed me to connect with them.

Anyway, it's not too late to congrats our sis again..and again.1st June was her convocation day. It might be a normal day for other peoples but it is definitely a big day for our family. Our lil sister is graduated !Yayyy~.
Ohh Yah, if you are reading this, you are our lil sister( still), tp kamu punya convocation , nun jauh di USA, tak tauulahh sampai ke takk kan :p.Tapi mana tau kan, sampai jugak kami :-)

Anyway, we decided to take the boys out since K.In was escorting Emak& Abah to Cik Na's Convocation.
It was a pretty entertaining movie, highly enjoyable.
Though, we didn’t see it in 3D.


7th June,met Abg Sam at the wedding. As usual, my husband and his brother had their "bonding moment". *smile*
And to be truthful, I love spending time with our family!


p.s: Alhamdulillah baby dah berat dlm 400 gms, Today dah buat detailed scan tu,TP ada lg yg taklih nak check sbb position baby.Today baby duduk, so nak tgk payah sikit.Tp doakanlah semua okay ye.Next check-up baru amik blood test dan sambung detailed scan tu lagi. mcm dah tau baby gender..tp nnti lah I blog about k?:p
Jom main teka-teki -tekuk!

Love.

Should I?

Dear readers,
Some expectant moms(it's ME!) are eager to find out their baby's gender, while others are inclined toward wanting to be surprised once the baby is delivered.Should I find out our baby'
s gender?Or should we be delightfully surprised?In my opinion, knowing baby's gender helps us to plan ahead.From clothing and etc!
And for some maybe, if the baby is not the sex they would have chosen on their own, they’ll have time to adjust and appreciate.

Scenario A
"Eh, anak akak nak ngn you?" U dapat girl lah tu."
"why?ada pulak camtu."
"btol la, sbb anak I girl, dia tau dlm perut u girl sbb tu dia suka you."

Scenario B
" my anak boy, try u pegang.Kalau dia taknak ngn you, dlm perut u boy lah tu."
"oo..pulakkk..."

Scenario C
"ehh, u pregnant boy ke?"
"sbb pe?"
"sbb anak I girl suka kat you.Selalu bila baby girl suka you, you pregnant boy la tu!"
"tp hari tu..kalau boy suka I baru girl..ape ni??Lain org lain cara kah?"
*smiled*

Others
"Belief that women carrying boys carry low and that women carrying girls carry high"
"If your face is round then you are having a girl, long and narrow means a boy."
" If you have an increased amount of acne during pregnancy then it means you are having a baby girl. "

I read somewhere, if I like to eat salty foods which means, I will having a boy.But having orange juice everyday, most likely to have a baby girl! In that case...can we have both? *lalalalala*

Hmm Im confused!*big Grin*
I cant wait for our next check-up!I hope this time, we can determine our baby's gender, it's kiling me!!
So baby, dont let your mommy down.Come on, dont be shy!Show it to us.
Well, it's fun to guess baby's gender base on the myths :-)

Oh ya,please help me decide which resort should we go. Here's in our mind:

Perhentian Island Resort
Arwana Beach Resort
Coral View Beach Resort
Senja Bay Resort
Bubu Long Beach Resort

Ke ada tempat lain yg best?Ada sape2 pernah pergi tak?This is honeymoon/anniversary/special ocassion trip, so husband taknak yg ala2 backpackers.Backpackers boleh buat lain hari yaaaaaa :p.Lagi satu, yours truly taknak tempat yg bising ngn 'night life ' sgt. Since Im pregnant, I cant stand noisy tu semua(ohh before pregnant boleh pulak terkinja2 kan:p) Hey come on, ppl change!Sometimes, you need to relax..kan.
Oohh sgt fussy sekali! :p


p.s: I wanted to update about my outing with my nephews( anak sedara sebelah apeng@aman)BUT my husband brought camera with him! So, takda photos I nak updatekan.Later yah.

Makan Trip

As I promised!
Dear readers,
YES.
We went to Penang for 3 days 2 nights short trip. It was a last minute planning. Hmm,but hey, it was a great journey cos my baby was not the one who drove the car :-)
First night,we stayed at Tune Hotel costed around RM67 pernite.
The hotel is one for the budget traveller. As my recent trip was quite a tight trip. This hotel is just nice for us to have our basic needs such as good location, average room rate, and nice bed.




The room was comfortable,clean and well-designed and comes with air-conditioner,hot shower,hair blower BUT not spacious.

Anyway, we were generally pleased with the accommodation, however this room is not recommended to anybody with kids( seriously really small)..I have to be honest as a place to rest our head, I had no complaints as we paid RM67 ONLY :-) Great hotel at a budget price with lots of facilities nearby.


Of course, my MILO will always be with me!Oh ya, MILO is my bantal busuk :-)
My husband is very good handling this lil girl.
Next day,checked-out at 10am and had breakfast in town. We decided to try roti bakar and roti canai at one of the hawker stall which we've seen in TV(tepi jalan dan longkang and just a few blocks away from our hotel)
I tell you what, boleh tahan jugak!..Eating out at the hawker stalls is a way of life for Penang-ties.
..chit-chat..chit-chat..
"K.Fuz rasa kt hotel tu ada momok.Time K.Fuz mandi, ada tangan kt tingkap.Ingat abg ha yg main-main, sekali bila pikir2, takkan tangan abg ha boleh capai dari luar!"
(Ohh, dulu2 I thot momok=monyet:p)
"Aih, no kidding mehh?"

My husband, my brother and K.Fuz experienced the same dreams.And they felt something was not right about the hotel.Weird.
Alhamdulillah, nothing happen to me.Bak kata orang, tidur mati!


Breakfast:
Roti bakar
Telur separuh masak( Best sgt cicah dgn roti)
Milo tarik kurang manis



Lunch: Nasi Kandar.
Fish head curry was available but I was not keen to try it even though it is considered a delicacy(to some people... maybe!)

Seriously sedap! the food was fresh and always delicious.We had ayam+nasi putih+bendi+kuah campur.Finger licking good!
Disebabkan Tune Hotel dah penuh, kami terpaksa bermalam di hotel yang lain.
We finally found this hotel. Costed RM100 and the room was spacious.The reception staffs are friendly. On my stay, they allowed me to check-in early and late check-out (1pm).



Laksa is a MUST NOT missed in Penang.
SEdapp..Kuah pekat.Although, yours truly cheated-I didnt eat the laksa anyway(I only eat the kuah) I admit it, I'm addicted to Penang Laksa oopsie..Penang Kuah Laksa :p






Next, we headed to Batu Ferringhi.Well,Batu Ferringhi comes alive at night so we decided to stay.Our dinner-Char Koaw Teow.Dah malam sikit, K.Fuz ajak makan Sup Hameed pulak.Layankan ajerr...
After all that laksa,charkoaw teow and sup+bread( arent you glad that you get to eat all this stuffs?:p)we went on jalan-jalan naik kereta.
Jadi,memang kami MAKAN..MAKAN..DAN MAKAN!



Anyway, pagi esok dah nak balik.Kami sarapan di warung Line Clear Nasi Kandar,dekat ngn pasar.Pastu kami siap2 nak balik sbb abg ha dah janji nak makan tengah hari rumah kawan baik dia masa MRSM.

After lunch we wanted to leave..but got stuck after eating fruits, unfortunately I did not take any photos cos I was engrossed listening to their story! ;p

..mm ..Lama jugak lepak situ sampai dah tertidur kat situ(ooh sungguh tak malu sekali aku ini!)

We arrived at home sweet home at 10pm.
Of course! We had a blast 3 days 2 nights vacay..
Total damaged for the whole 3 days 2 nights=
RM450 :-)

Pregnancy Diaries:-
  • Alhamdulillah, I didnt have any sicknesses.
  • I guess our baby is moving now.
  • Less evening sickness and Im feeling so healthy right now.2nd trimester is the best, right?
  • My next check-up will be on this coming 11th June.

p.s:Weekend planning- going to my aunt's place and attending Mika's aqiqah.
This 17th June will be our 3rd anniversary.I dunno WHERE to celebrate yet!!Was thinking..hmm an island and..not so far.. Perhentian???Pangkor? Hmm..
...let see what's his plan!
Stay tune!

Movie Day!

We watched this!
Dont ask me about this movie.Im a big fan of Star Trek since small :p so my answer will always go---- "I fancy this movie!"
The film is hugely satisfying,its blend of humor, romance and action so kinetically orchestrated .
It's not perfect but it is great fun ... It's hard to imagine anyone resisting this new cast.
Either you'll go with it or you won't.
Go watch peeps!
Kamal suggested this film! Thanks Kamal..I really love it!
Later, kami sgt lapar pastu cari nak mkn kt mana. Ni la masalah kami, kuar tatau mana nk makan.Punyalah bnyk kedai kt OU,still tatau nk mkn ape.
As you can see, my perut dah naik..yahooooo :-)

Lastly kami mkn kt foodcourt.Nasi ayam kt situ.Habis cerita :-)
Many thanks to this guy, who always trying to fulfill my needs and dreams.

Urm, hari tu ada org tny perut dah naik ke..letak la gambar..haa..ni dah letak pun :-) Im enjoying my pregnancy now.Perut dah makin ada bump, my body weight dah naik(which is good), rasa nak muntah ada lagi time malam. Tapi skang ni, I kesian kat my husband, dia kena angkatkan groceries( sbb tu I suka gi market hari dia kerja, so that tak susahkan dia..tp kdg2 bila dia cuti lama,kenala gak gi beli brg nanti nak makan ape pulak kan.), pastu kena buat itu ini, ada la chores yang skang I mcm GEDIK tak larat :p, pastu dia mmg dari dulu kalau susah tak akan tunjuk kt muka. Dia trying his best nak buatkan org sekeliling dia happy. Dia sakit pun dia tahan, dia tgh susah, sedih or marah, dia tahan and dia try nak settle sendiri.. Patutnya semua tu I buat myself, you just have to relax sbb you dah penat kerja.I was mesmerized sgt2.... Thanks baby for helping me. AND Im so sorry troubling you.

Oh ya, later I will update pasal trip to Penang,okeh?

Stay tune!

Honeymoon OR Quarantine?

Hello!
How's your weekend ?Mine??
What happen IF, you are all ready for your day and suddenly something happened?Just when you were eager to have a nice trip..
..hmm..Here goes my story.

13th May

Husband back from Newark( New York) Reached KLIA around 7.15 am and be home at 9am. Went for my monthly check-up( still, we dunno the gender yet). We were so delighted to see our baby moving tho :-)

14th May

We had a luncheon at Bangi Mcd.It was Hani's Birthday ( she's my sister in-law's niece)

Remember I told ya about cupcakes that she wanted? yeaa, I made it in my malas mood :p
Went to visit Dad and Mummy Noe at KPJ Kajang ( Remember our foster parents?). Dad is having fever. I hope Dad will getting well soon. Brought him biscuits( cos we know you might hungry later.AND I believe you dont want to eat anything at this phase tho) Went home a bit late due to lepaking at Abg Ha's home. I was waiting for my darling D to come over, but she cancelled .
One of our good friend came over and had late-night-cappucino while watching CSI NY ( made by my husband,ouch..Im touched! That's why I love being pregnant)Im so proud of you baby!
Our friend went home later.

"baby, jd ke trip kita?"
"jadi, esok after subuh kita gerak"
"Oh, I pack now!"


I was so happy! Finally, Im able to go out from my "district zone"( padahal 4 mths je baru tak ke mana-mana, itupun dah rasa sangap tahap gaban!)
"So by plane or..hmm land?"
"Hmm..plane la senang kan? Tp nnti sampai sana nk kena sewa kereta"
"Then?"
Silent.
"Kalau by land, lama..u OK?"
"Hmm..kena bnyk benti2 la.Tak boleh straight jerr..I need to wee-wee..pastu nk kena strecthing"
I packed all our stuff including my bantal busuk (ni nak kena bawak mana-mana yerr) :-)

15th May
Yay~
Reached our destination at the evening.
Had our all-time-fav pau kacang and ayam.
It was indeed..yummylicious.

And then..Approx 5pm
Ring..Ring..Ring( mcm ringtone dlm Wonderpets kan?)
"Kamarul Zaman, you are in MH091 from Newark-KUL kan? You kena home quarantine sbb ada case. Ada student yg naik flight from Newark-KL dah kena Influenza Virus H1N1.."
"Ohh..yerr kerr?quarantine mcm mana?" Big shocked
"Quarantine kat rumah from 13th- 22nd May.So you 18th ni tak boleh kerja lah.."
Please note that quarantine means you have to stay indoor and avoid public!!
"Ooohh.." (and we were at..hmm 400km away from our home?!!!...)

I was......why in his flt,man!??..Hmm..dont bother my feeling at this point! My husband's health is the most important things NOW.
takpe, setiap yg jadi ada hikmah, kan?
Im good..Im good.

Mmg ada hikmah, kalau naik flight, mcm mana nak balik?At least dlm kereta kami berdua.We doesnt want to jeopardize anybody else!
And yes, my dear Hanim called me few times.We didnt watch TV( tell me, if you are in holiday mood,do you still bother about watching TV?Hmm..) she informed us about the virus and the student was admitted at Sg.Buloh Hospital.
Damn,it was soooo serious!
By the way, thank you so much dear.

16th May

We headed home.
We received phone calls every hours.

ring..ring..ring.( his ringtone takda bunyi gitu kan :p)
"En.Kamarul, where are you? Kami dtg umah nanti nak check.Any symptoms?"
"Im..err..err..Im not home actually."
"Ape?En.Kamarul jalan-jalan?Kami nak stop kan this virus from merebak ni..En.Kamarul balik umah yerr..jgn gi mana-mana dahh."
"yeahh yeahh ..I dah otw back ni..I okay, so far alhamdulillah.Takda symptoms aper2 lagi"
"Kami dtg umah nak check up you ni...Ok takpe, bila u dah sampai umah, pls inform us."

Tell you what, it was the busiest day of our live.
Every hours, he got phone calls and sms-es.
We arrived home-sweet-home at 630pm. They called us again and wanted to pay a visit tomorrow morning.
While watching Malaysian reality show, I slept after watching it for approx.30 mins, so, for the rest of the show... I didn't know what the hell happened. It was tiring. However, I still prefer their previous concerts.

Given by health advisor -thermometer,mask and letter

17th May

Approx 11am
The health advisor came to our place.She checked our body temperature and asked us a few Qs.
Where did we go, who we met and bla bla..

"En.Kamarul, we have to quarantine you and your wife ni. Eventhough your wife bukan direct contact dan not in the flt, tp your wife ada ngn you this few days kan.Just in case."

And YES, the person that we met since 13th May also not advisable to go public :-) especially yg kami spent time lama sgt2 tu, which..hmm Abg Ha& family. (kalau kejap2 takper)BUT, tak perlu di quarantine pun.

The symptoms in people are expected to be similar to the symptoms of regular human seasonal flu- fever,coughing,sore throat.

In that case, we have been placed under home quarantine and alhamdulillah none of us are showing any flu-like symptoms.
They will monitoring us day by day untill 22nd May.
So, hmm today we are honey-mooning at ourhouse.

Staying at home is good ( good for me so I can rest) and we can spend time together.
BUT our main concern :
Im just worried if we doesnt have enough food supply for this few days since we didnt manage to shop for groceries.( since hari tu nak kuar berjalan so mmg tak beli bahan mentah lah, sbb takut tiba2 elektrik takda time kami away tu, kang habis busuk peti ais kami)
However, we still got biscuits, cereal and juices. Hope enough.Makan jimat2 la kan :-) Mcm dlm hutan pulak :p

To think this back, Im quite happy and thanks to god, my darling D didnt manage to come over our place.I dont want to get her involve.

Alhamdulillah.

Last but not least,please pray for our safety and health..We are praying and hoping we are not infected by Influenza H1N1 or swine flu(whatever they call)

.Amin.

p.s: Abg Ha will help us if we are shortage of food he said.He can put the food at the grill and leave it there.Knowing us, we doesnt want to trouble anybody *smile*

Bila Mula Membeli?

Happy Mother's Day everybody!


Dear readers,
Okay, let me go..hmm straight to the point.When can I start buying baby stuff? My due date will be in the early of November 2009. You know, there's always old wives tales about having all the baby stuff in your home before the birth ....you know the reason you cant buy baby stuff early...bla bla..is that just me worrying some more!!

Honestly, I dunno when to start buying things and preparing the nursery. Anyway, Ive created my list, anything that we need to buy.I dont want to lose track of how much we've spent later.Of course, we dont have anything yet :-)Fuhh~

Last time, when my bestfriend was pregnant, I was so eager ,telling her what to buy, when to buy or not to.I still can remember Ive told her;

"Babe, belila sikit2 every mth, nanti tak terasa sgt.Kalau nak beli sekaligus,terasa kang"
"Babe, survey la dulu and then masa sale nnti terus beli"

It's easier said than done.
Another reason why I love the fact that my bestfriend is having a baby - I get to buy little cute gifts at places like Mothercare. Mom's care or where I'd never before considered to be part of my shopping territory!:p
Some are telling me to buy straight away, and some are telling me to wait untill Im in the 3rd trimester.And, this one makcik told me ,the best time is after 20 weeks of pregnancy . She said it may sounds awful but that way you know all is okay for sure and you know the sex of the baby.
As for myself, I have to constantly stop myself from buying anything useless. And save the money for our future bundle of joy.
As for my husband, he will start looking from now and get an idea of what he wants and be thrifty about buying it..Yeah yeah, Im so lucky, he loves "scouting around"and makes his right choice.
Oh ya, can you gimme idea about this stuff?I know, it may sounds too early,just wondering what to buy later.
So ,Mommies, help me plsssss!

Halford Cosmo DX Travel System
I saw this one at Subang Parade.Infant car seat ..mmm.. quite light.


Chicco Trevi Travel System Chicco Liteway While surfing internet, Ive found Peg Prego SI and they said their car seat attaches easily to the chassis.Mmm in that case, I should wait till Spring.I dont have any particular brand in mind yet, I just wish our buggy, pram, pushchair,travel system (or what so ever they call it) that can be placed in the lie-flat position for our newborn. Lightweight of course :-). Hmm easy to fold and store.Easy to maneuver through crowded ..too :-)COMBI Cosmo Travel System





Or maybe this one! Affordable,transportable and very convenient. It is light weight (11.5 lbs) and has a carrying strap. It holds little ones up to 45 lbs. Few days ago, one of the blogger told me

" Dont go for Combi, kalau anak kecik, small size takpe.Sbb my anak tak muat tauu.Seat dia kecik sikit.So bila dia tidur kesian mcm kena kepit"

In all honesty, wut dya think?

Well, well, Im doing my part as a surveyor ONLY, the father of baby X will make his final judgement tho.

Pregnancy Diaries:

  • Forgetfullness!!! Forgive me Rinie.I'm supposed to attend Dani's aqiqah on Saturday,9th May.I was totally forgotten untill I was browsing my phone and saw the note. And it was 750pm already! Totally late!
  • I forgot to bring mineral water upstairs too. I need to jot down everything after this.
  • I can feel..mm something like..bubbles popping in my belly.Could it be movements?Or it just gas?
  • I cant smell my own perfume or body mist.Euuchhh~
  • Im so happy lately,HaHaHa.Ive been singing entire day! Lalalalalala~

p.s: Silver Cross,( Hmm..I fancy this one!! Their infant carseat and Dazzle but.. mmm but,..ohh well),Bugaboo( come on ,dont gimme idea!hell no.. pass!),Zippy( naahh..pass!), Buzz(father of baby X fancies this one tho,even it is bulky:p),Valco( mmm..pass), Stokke (father of baby X loves this one too. ohh well..can I? ... pass..budget.budget),Toro-Micralite??(still,not in our list )..YET!

Wait and see then!

Nothing

Here are the photos during K.Fuz's besday celebration at Bubbagump on 23rd April. We had a wonderful night-out.

Seriously, this beef ribs...mouth -watering...

And here, Achik( K.Fuz's aunty),your truly, my baby, abg ha rayyan, K.Fuz and Zahra

Dear readers,
Mood : Malas yg amat
As I said earlier, my husband away for 10 days trip.Huh, the good news is I will have my " me time" .I will able to buat aper yg I love to do, like reading books ptg2, meeting some of my frens or even pergi gym. Cos when my husband around, nak gi gym payah sikit, nnti dia nk mkn, nk minum, takda saper pulak nak jaga semua tu. TP kalau dia tdo and bgn lambat, so I will run to the gym.And I will balik b4 dia bgn tdo.Sbb bila dia bgn, dia nk mkn.

BUT the bad news is, I hate being apart from him. It's killing me!!!

This morning, K.Fuz called me and asking me to have lunch with her at Mid Valley, but knowing me, since kahwin ni, bila my husband takda, malasnya nak gi benda2 camni. Even kalau any of my brothers buat mkn2 especially time husband takda, mmg 100% aku tak gi :p.So, nak taknak they akan buat time my husband ada IF diorang nak kami adik-beradik berkumpul. Ntahler..maybe dah selalu sgt ngn husband ke mana-mana kot.Haih, gedikkknyaaa
Suprisingly, Abg ha& K.Fuz ke Mid valley naik cab, since dia servis kereta kt Jln Ipoh.Diorang ada kata suh bawak jln-jln if my husband ada but since my husband away, they doesnt want to trouble me. Maybe diorang igt payah kot aku nk drive gi sana,hmm ntahh ler..
BTW,Im touched! If you are reading this sist, I want you to know, how appreaciate I am! And..excuse me, Im not sick :p Im just pregnant okayy.

Anyway, I started my exercise routine..again!
Wehuuu..Entering, 2nd trimester, I cant seem to settle down at night, guess what?Im in lala land at 5am!! GOSH. According to one of the pregnancy books, I have to get enough exercise( but not too much) so that my body will be sleepier at night.. And, it works!!! Alhamdulillah. My fav workout regime: Body&Balance ,pilates and swimming

As usual, my evening sickness is quite tolerable.Instead of morning sickness,
I have been blessed with evening sickness. ( of course,any pregnancy symptoms I should cherish , heyy it's a magical experience okayy* big grin*)
Next activity, I have to bake K.Fuz's niece cupcakes.Her birthday will be on this coming 14th May, and the theme will be: HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.
Wish me luck peeps :p

I cant wait for our next check-up on this coming 13th May. My husband will be back on that day and yes, he will be joining me to the hospital.
I cant wait!!
LOVE.
