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.

Baby stuff survey and pre-shopping

It's been a strange transition overall. I have to suddenly get myself updated with all these things for maternity and nursing and baby care. I am slowly getting used to it. Slowly. Shu's sisters and my friends have been great help and a lot of people have been providing a lot of information based on experience and stuff.I just need to narrow down the important things first when the baby arrives. I know it's a bit early but you can never be too sure.I might accidentally miss some things out.

Well, yeah. Baby things are all so colorful and yummy looking. My mum has been keeping a lookout on playpens and strollers although,I don't think a stroller is necessary yet.A colleague of mine have been helpful about breastfeeding tips.A friend of mine gave me loads of info about being in confinement and things the baby will need.

I still can't believe I have a baby in my tummy and that I am going to be mom! O_o

Husband

My husband and I have known eachother since we were 16.It's insane to think how far back that was looking at where we are now.I admit to being a pain in the ass. I was back then,I still am now although not as often (hopefully).He's always supportive of me no matter what I do but the best thing about him is that he is constantly steering me into the right direction (considerating the fact that I tend to get insane and make decisions in the spur of the moment).
Yes,we fought a lot in the last couple of years of being married and even before that.I would say most of our fights are over the tiniest things which I can hardly remember.Other times,we fight over things to make things better for the both of us.I am childish,I'll admit that.
He's been taking really good care of me especially now that I am pregnant and all.My parents told me that I would never find someone who would take care of me as much as he does.It's true.I can hardly take care of myself and I wouldn't know what I would do without him.
Honestly,I cannot imagine myself being married to anyone else.

Pregnancy and being pregnant

Before I discovered I was pregnant, I really thought I was probably putting on weight starting with my tummy area. It's usually flat unless I have gastrict or something. I just couldn't figure out why it was bulging out the way it did. It wasn't obvious but because I know my body so well, I knew that something was wrong. Luckily, I did a pregnancy test first before jumping into my running shoes or I could have lost the baby.

So yes,it just after our second year anniversary and I discovered I was pregnant.We were so psyched! I was partially freaking out.I still am.I wasn't sure what to expect.I wasn't sure what needed to be done.One thing I did realize was that I suddenly realize how badly I took care of myself health wise.I was thin not because I was healthy but because I was constantly neglecting my needs especially where food is concerned.I just wasn't big on eating and it wasn't something I was much interested in.

When I got into my first trimester, I was sick.My hormones were changing drastically and I was sick. I was constantly throwing up.I couldn't eat the food I used to like.Things which had the scents that I like made me so sick that I would throw up.I hardly use perfume anymore coz they make me sick.I hate the smell of that Ambi Pur we hang in our cupboards.I can't wear anything with the slightest smell of that.

Then,I got hospitalized several times due to dehydration from all the throwing up.My body wouldn't let me drink plain water.I couldn't eat pretty much anything.It was horrible.But throughout it all,I was constantly praying and hoping that my baby would be ok.And he was.In fact,he was jumping everytime we had an ultrasound scan.I was almost in tears when I first heard his heartbeat.He seems like a happy baby.I hope he is.

Now I am 16 weeks into my pregnancy.I am not throwing up as much as I used to although,my gastrict problem is still pretty severe.I have to constantly feed myself which is a bit hard to do.I have also been losing weight instead of putting on weight and because of that,my baby is about a week smaller than the size he ought to be.I'm trying to feed him and myself but it's just not that easy.My gastrict needs to be tamed in order for me to get my diet back on track.

back on xanga

it's just funner there ^_^

rant

How would you justify the shit I am in right now..........no wait, the shit I deal with and have been dealing for over a year?

I have been dealing with this shit and it is high time I put my foot down. If I had it my way,I would have had them both fired. Sure,we'll be a bit shorthanded but haven't we been this way all this while? What difference would it make anyways?

Firstly,I would propose the idea of getting of the both of them. Then,I would recommend solutions.This would mean,I would either need to suggest new members or find ways to dealing with the short-handedness.

When I say too many variables makes things complicated,this is what I meant.I'm not saying quantity is not a good thing.If the quantity can ensure productivity and progress,it is most definitely a good thing.Seriously,in the reality of it all this is highly unlikely.

I personally do NOT recommend hiring students because they are unreliable.ENTIRELY.

I am currently dealing with 4 students right now and I seriously do NOT want them in the team.

I suggest that we get rid of them once and for all and hire people who may not have skills YET but at the very least shows up for work.

It's all about the attitude.

funny purring sounds

Georg and Pebbles have been getting it on a little too much these days. They have been driving us insane. Us, the people they live with. Us, the only 2 human beings in this house!

AAAAARGH!

I didn't think mating season would be so difficult to deal with!

There's fur all over the place! The make a whole lot of noise! Sometimes to the extent of us not being able to fall asleep AT ALL!

I sure hope the neighbors won't start complaining or both of them kittehs will have to hit the road!

either pregnant or just fat

I have this bump on my tummy. I don't know if its a baby bump or just fat that I cannot get rid of. I have my usual ways to get rid of tummy indigestion but this is something else. I have also been craving for things I usually wouldn't eat. I can't sleep properly at night.

The worst part is that the test kits still shows negative.

the big P

Shu and I have been trying to get me pregnant. No luck so far. I want a baby boy named Yusuf.
Shu wants a baby girl...........or boy........Either ways..........we have names already....
I tested negative again.
Will keep trying.

My Avril Tribute: Her vidz I love over the years

Complicated

Sk8er Boi

I'm With You

Mobile

My Happy Ending

He Wasn't

The Best Damn Thing

Hurmm.........I guess I really don't like her newer vidz and songs.

Been a fan since she first came out. Still a fan but only of her songs. Not all her vidz are as they used to be.

I still sing her songs. All of them.

Winning Eleven on the Ps3

Shu switches games from time to time but this game is the funniest I've seen him play so far. I'm not a soccer fan but he is so annoyed when he is right in front of the goal and misses the shot.

Oh well......

I've been super sick. It sucks to be coughing like this especially during an interview. It just sucks to coughing so badly when it makes it hard for you to breathe. It sucks to be waking up in the middle of the night to just cough about 15 minutes straight and then try so hard to fall back asleep.

I am getting rid of my tonsils once and for all.

So long tonsils! You are irreparable and have caused me so much pain and suffering. It is time for you to be gone for good.

my dad

My dad called my cellphone and called Shu's phone but it was either we were asleep or we were cooking at the time so we didn't pick up. Thinking that there was an emergency, I called him back after maghrib. Since we couldn't get through to his phone, I called my mum instead.

As usual, my mum would answer my call by saying, "Hey baby. Is everything ok?" Then I asked her why my dad called us,she said "oh" and passed the phone to him. Then my dad said "Listen to this!" He puts the phone down and plays Oh Carol. His guitar sounded different.

After that he picked up the phone again and I asked him what that was. He happily said he got himself a ukelele. HAH! First he saw a ukelele book for beginners at the shop when he sent my brother to his drums class. He read the book and finally decided to try it on my sister's ukelele she got from being the best speaker in Hawaii some years ago. Later, he discovered that that wasn't a real ukelele so he decided to get himself a proper one.

He picked up a brand new ukelele at about MYR250 inlcuding a hard case and a CD guide. HAH!He taught himself to play the ukelele in just 2 days!

officially sold

We managed to sell off the Kelisa. I liked that car and we only kept it for a year. It has a new paint job and we changed the suspensions and it has an awesome pair of windshield wipers. I am gonna miss that car :'(

Anywho,hopefully all goes well after this.

P.S.:- My aunt is getting married in December and I am super psyched about it! ^_^

here comes the sun

Met up with some of my schoolmates at one of schoolmate's wedding last weekend. It's strange and funny at the same time coz thinking that we've drifted apart and stuff, we were all in the same school and we are all living in TTDI (most of us still do).It was fun ^_^

USS

Universal Studios Singapore was AWESOME! You have to be there and experience it yourself!

The Singapore trip was tiring but it was super fun!

The currency exchange was a bit painful but you gotta keep it out of your head to enjoy yourself. The best way to deal with it is to change the amount of cash you are planning to splash there and everything else will fall into place.

I know,shopping at the duty free airport with my mum and aunt and uncle went way overboard but it was super fun to do. Especially when we splurged on chocolates!Hahahaha!

Oh yeah,Shu got me a new pair of Charles & Keith. UBER NICE! I've always wanted a pair of heels like those! My husband has an awesome taste when it comes to shoes! I SUPER LURVE IT!

My cousin's wedding we attended was fun. Met up with my family and everyone had a blast.

drawing again

It's been quite some time since I last had my pencil sharpened and pulled out a fresh page on my drawing book. I could be sick and alone but once I start drawing, I can't tell when I'd stop. And I sometimes go to the extent of pausing videos and stuff just so that I could either draw what I see or get some new inspiration from what ever it is I see.

Psycho.

I think this is what stress does to me.

I'll take over the world someday. For now, I'll draw ^_^

chilling out

I love spending weekends and off days at home. A lot of things can be done and we get to clean up the place. I love the weekly floor mopping sessions. I am addicted to the floor cleaner scent. Not sure if it's a good thing.

I've been spending way too much time these days getting into little fights with Georg.He wants to take on me standing on his two hind legs.He's insane!He'd attack me every now and then whenever I pass by.He'd step onto the book while I am reading and pretends that he hasn't done anything wrong.

Speaking of Georg,he hasn't bath this week due to the rain.He's been scratching himself all over. The problem with having a feather duster-like cat is that he tends to trap every spec of dust in the house.And it doesn't help when he rolls around on the balcony outside coz that's where most of the dust comes from :/

Anywho, I am looking forward to the leave in October ^_^

some people

Some people are just ungrateful. It's hard to deal with people like these coz they tend to block out everyone else's views and only want to believe theirs. They complain. Complain. And complain. Are they doing anything about it? I don't think so. And when people offer a second opinion or just a point of view, they would reject it. Ok. No harm in trying. The best is for these people to just isolate themselves and just live away from people including their families coz even their families are not able to keep to their standard of living it seems. Strange, these people are still just people. They have wants. When you have wants, you have to work for it or towards it. It's not gonna come to you out of nowhere. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

Anywho, as I was saying, it's probably best to avoid these people. They are stubborn coz they refuse to change or make a change for that matter. They are selfish coz they are unable to think of anything or anyone else but themselves. Shallow coz they cannot seem to budge from where they are due to lack of the ability to change. And on top of it all, they are just ungrateful for everything that they have. They fail to see that there are people in far worse situations. There are people who have to work and provide for their families and at the same time not being able to complete their studies or get married for that matter. There are people who don't even have a house to live in. So, I would suggest that these people take a step back and look at everything around them and realize just how lucky they are.
