The Spider Incident : Royale Chulan Cherating

We were on our way home from Kuala Terengganu. Back from the long holiday over Eid. Shu had planned a short getaway before actually going home. Let's face it, we needed to be at a beach.

Anywho, since Shu is already a member with the Royale Chulan hotel chain (thanks to our long stays in Mutiara Damansara) we decided to check out the hotel in Cherating.

The place was new and was previously owned by the Sultan of Pahang. Basically, the lobby and reception area was his private getaway. The rest of the resort was extended and constructed.

We rented a villa with a neat view. It was tight. The original idea was to stay over 2 nights but then something happened.

It was midnight and I had fallen asleep on the bed with Safiyya. Yusuf was watching tv and Ali Imran was already asleep on the floor. Shu came out from the washroom and screamed. Seriously, it was a legit scream because it totally woke me up.

It turned out that there was a huge spider that came out from the curtains near the bed and that it crawled behind the frame of the sofa area by the window. I didn't see it but I knew it was something to protect the kids from because Shu is an arachnophobe.

I immediately grabbed Safiyya as he got on the phone with the front desk. They sent up a security guard. The dude was blur and had no clue what was happening. By then, Shu had picked up Ali Imran and Yusuf and I were on the foot stand.

Shu asked the guard if he had any plans to kill the spider. His reply was yes. How, we wondered...... He went outside and picked up a slipper :-/ At this point, we were thinking 'We Are Gonna Die' The next thing he said was that he was gonna wait for his partner to come up.

The other guy arrived and after understanding the gravity of the situation, he said he was going to kill the spider. He walked out and grabbed a broom. So I thought, 'Yep, he's gonna get this done'

We told them where we thought the spider was at and they took apart the entire sofa. Then, one guard wiggled the blinds and the spider came out. It was moving fast and it got onto the bed and then it disappeared for a bit and it was back up on the bed and when it was on the floor behind the nightstand BOOM! The guard smacked it to its death.

It was chaos for a bit but after tge guards left, we were trying to decide whether to stay the night. We did and there weren't any more spider encounters after that but everyone slept on the bed that night. Keeping away from the headboard and edges.

Counting my blessings

Shu and I went way back and I am always grateful to have married him and gotten to know how awesome his parents are. If I were to have a second mom and dad it would be them.



Also..... I have a new nephew!

Wani gave birth on June 28th at 8:20pm <3

Ingonyama nengw' enamabaal

I love this song. 
It's a good song to practice vocals and pitching and voice control and harmony. 
Was singing this to Ali Imran and he gave me a weird look :-/

I remember trying to dance to this song

My mum and my aunt and my sister were all traditional dancers. Not professional but I had trouble coordinating my limbs to the groove. Anywho, this was one of our favorite songs to dance to together in the lounge area where my dad's audio system was at.

Strange

I don't know what happened but have you ever felt like you woke up into positive vibes that you could almost see the colors of the awesomeness that you have discovered?

I know.... I'm not making any sense.....

OK, if this feeling was a song, it would be this


And a bit of this
And everything from this

April 17th 2017

I gave birth to a baby girl. Not sure what time exactly. I was hitting 39 weeks and my contractions were severe. The plan was to have me induce the baby out on Sunday night as I did with Ali Imran. For some strange reason, I didn't have any dilation even though my contractions were getting more and more intense. I was set up for an epidural shot when things just went south. It turned out that I screamed from a pain and went into a seizure. When I woke up, I was in the ICU and the surgeon and the nurses were trying to get me to wake up. I was heavily drugged that I didn't even realize that the baby was already taken out. Spent the rest of the week at the hospital and there are still things I can't quite tell happened that my husband wanted me to know or tell me. This is a strange recovery process.

36 weeks

This is my third pregnancy and it's been the longest and hardest. It seems like I've been pregnant forever. The worst part of the pregnancy is the body aches and non-stop throwing up. I'm not that lucky when it comes to being pregnant. This time around, my old pain from falling off while roller blading back when I was 13 was coming back in the worst possible way. I was considering a planned c section at first,but it's not gonna help much since my pelvic bone is wrecked pretty badly. The only thing I can do is to get my shit together and face the pain with a bit of help from an epidural shot which I have never taken before. All I know is that I am in for some really painful shit. It's a matter of how strong I am and probably how much adrenaline power I have
