moments


  • Before I discovered I was pregnant, I thought I was putting weight and that I couldn't fit into my jeans anymore :p
  • As my tummy grow bigger, I feel funny whenever I realize that I can't see my toes anymore.
  • I have awkward sleeping position issues now that my tummy is so much bigger than before.
  • When I first felt the baby kicking, I was sitting on the single chair in the house in Bangi watching TV. I thought my tummy was popping like gastric.
  • My baby kicks the hardest when I am about to relax or doze off to sleep.
  • Shu has only felt the baby kicking once. It was a really strong kick.
  • I cried when I first heard the baby's heartbeat during an ultrasound while I was hospitalized.
  • The baby was jumping all the time during the first few times I had an ultrasound.
  • My first trimester didn't go too well but everytime I thought I was dying and went to the hospital to check on the baby, he is jumping and fine.

saying goodbye

2 years is most probably the most commitment I have ever given when it comes to work. All seems good on the surface but I am slowly decaying of boredom. I don't know if I did it all myself or if it is someone else's fault but I just need to get away from all this and do something completely new. I feel like my mind cannot expand being there. The same people I encounter would be talking about the same old things no matter how many times I've suggested solutions for them even though I didn't have to.

I seem to have that effect on people. Everyone just stops by at my cubicle and start talking to me about their problems regardless if its work related or personal. At times, I really don't mind but if you come back over and over with the same problem, it tends to get annoying. If a lot of other people have managed to move on, why can't you? I must admit, getting sick and getting things done from home has given me a lot of space for myself and not have to get engaged with annoying conversations anymore.

Again, I am not sure if my decision to leave is solely based on my boredom of working in an office environment or if it is caused by other individuals. Sometimes the lines are blurry. I have my own problems to think about and I just refuse to be found. Hahahaha..........Does that even make sense?

All I know is at this point, I can clearly see that I have absolutely no interest in the world of IT and computers. Most of the time, I know the things regarding computers only because they relate to the things that I do. I am just not interested in getting certificates like ITIL or CCNA. If I was interested in them, I would have gone ahead and spend the last 6 years of my life getting a degree in IT :-/

quench my thirst with gasoline

It's weird how I started playing the guitar back when I was 13 and my influences were mostly pop bands like Hanson and The Moffatts. After that there were Blink 182 and Sum 41 and Greenday and Sugarcult.

When I started going for guitar lessons, I found that my guitar teacher loves Metallica. I'm not talking about just one of my guitar teachers. I'm saying all of them. I mean it's not like we were constantly covering Metallica all the time. There were times we'd play Deep Purple and sometimes some random single from some random band.Well, I like Iron Maiden as well but depending on who my band mates are at the time, I wouldn't be able to play metal music all the time.

Anywho, my world was opened to Metallica when I saw S&M on tv. I was thinking that hey,that's not a bad song at all. Then I got hooked for good. Of course, I discovered other bands along the way like Coheed and Cambria which I super love!!!! Oh! And then, there was Justin Hawkins and The Darkness! After that there were Franz Ferdinand and Black Tide. Woah! I love Black Tide! Not to forget Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Korn and Limp Bizkit and System of a Down and Incubus.........

Baby name

Although we have already thought of the baby name(s) long before I got pregnant, last weekend, Shu's family finally found out what our baby's name is ^_^ and everyone loves it.

South Bound

Shu and I were on the verge of going insane so we decided to take a trip down south. I have relatives there and there are new things to do and explore at the same time. We took leaves on Thursday and Friday and stayed on till Saturday.
We arrived in Johor at about 6pm and checked in to our hotel. Cleaned up and rested a little and headed out for food. Then a little later, we drove around trying to look for roads for where we were heading the next day. We eventually lost our way and headed back to town. We ended up hanging around Danga Bay having drinks while watching everyone else eating and walking and just going on and off the colorful rides nearby. Danga Bay is calmer on week nights compared to weekends. After that we headed back to our hotel and slept.
The next morning we got up early and had breakfast. Then we got ready to head over to Legoland. I knew that I wasn't gonna be allowed on a lot of rides since I'm pregnant and all but we just wanted to take a look and what the hype was all about. Legoland wasn't far at all. I would suggest parking your cars at the Medina Mall parking area rather than having to walk all the way from the other end of the parking area just to get to the entrance.
Legoland was fun but it would be funner if we already had our son and that he's about 3 years of age coz then, he'd be able to enjoy the kiddie rides and playgrounds all over the park. It was a great experience and we had a blast walking all over the park.The rides we tried were fun and unique.It would have been funner if my sister-in-laws were to join in with their kids.
Anywho, at about 3 in the afternoon we were done with the park and headed back to the hotel.The plan that night was to meet up with my cousins and aunties.There was a breakdown in communication so we ended meeting only half the people we were supposed to have met that night.It was pretty fun though.
We got up the next day,had breakfast and packed up and checked out. Then we headed over to my grandmother's house to see her and my aunty.Stayed for a bit and then we headed out to the Johor Premium Outlet which was all the way out in the middle of nowhere.
We just wanted to see what it was all about but we didn't shop much coz we weren't planning on getting anything at the time.Yes,the things are cheap.We ended up having drinks and a slice of cheese cake over at the Coffee Bean. Then we headed back to KL.
We stopped by at Machap R&R for lunch and prayers. The surau there is nice. Our next stop was very near Cyberjaya. We just needed to stop for prayers and then we headed back to Bangi.Had something to eat and then went home.
It was fun ^_^
Oh yeah,I was at my mum's yesterday and we got to meet Fluffy who is the kitten my dad rescued from the drain in front of our house. She's so small and fluffy and playful. She and Kutip and Chomel and Persky are now the best of friends.
