New House

We've got the key to the new house already!!! ...and... we're the first resident there to get it!

Went to take a look at the house yesterday. Exterior is alright.. some kind of resort-like feature. Somehow, Dan and i think that the interrior is kinda smallish, as compared to the house in vista now. Probably because of the design la... with all the peculiar nooks and corners.. well not that peculiar la. We're happy with the house (especially the alarm system, auto gate and the lovely timber strips flooring), except for that itsy bitsy fact that it wasnt as big as we expected. We're gonna have to do some manipulation to make the house look spacious. So now we're browsing through ikea's catalogue to get some ideas.. sbb ikea ni slalu susun atur tu kinda space saving. Kinda excited to start working on the house, but when we got our ideas on paper, mcm stress pulak... Hehe.

Alhamdulillah.... an adorable, loving husband, a new house, a new car (err.. not so new la...) and a new baby on the way... I couldn't ask for more. :)

Poseurs

I really wonder what sense of accomplishment a poseur feels. C'monla... you're talking big.. but that's just it... Mere talk. No matter how big your talk is, if you don't walk the talk, it's just talk. You can use whomever big shot's name in your conversation like they're some close friends of yours.. MANY people do that, ok, so don't think that you're better off. It's getting too lame now that most of us know that the so called big shot names that you dispose freely in your conversation doesn't even know that you even exist.

It's god-damn revolting. I wish these people who thinks they're far above the rest will look into the mirror and see their own reflection.. not seeing a reflection of someone they're trying so very hard to be but they're not. Who the hell are they trying to kid? Themselves? Do they really have such low respect towards themselves that they can't bear looking at themselves in the mirror and had to imagine they're someone else instead? Mann.... they must be the most pathetic loser of all time. I feel sorry for these people... but then again, I wish they would just stop pissing people off.

Pseudo birth signals?

Hmmm... lately i've been having this questions popping in my mind... The big question: Am i in labour already??? Well... surely, the birth of a baby is something that will go unnoticed... but... ermm... entahla ek.. As i read more articles about labour and birth, the more the question pops up. Sigh!~

Lately i think i've noticed that my tummy is different. It's kinda lowish now. My mom said so too. Has the baby engaged? I'm also experiencing some kind of diarrhea lately. From chats tht i've had with friends, they said they felt like they need to go poop during labour... The bearing down feeling to help you get the cue on when to push the baby out. So now i'm like takut2 to teran during the big business... Hehe.. i know the baby wont just pop out and make a dive into the toilet bowl... tapi... macam berhati2la jugak kan...

Sooo, kesimpulannya, I think labour is near... but not that near. I've yet to experience major contractions or bloody show or the rupturing of the water bag... So i guess that labour is progressing, but i still have time to complete the tasks tht i need to do - preparing some paperwork for an event scheduled in feb and another one in march (which i'm definitely NOT going to attend coz i'll be in confinement by then). Whetever it is, surely hope that hubby will be around when i'm finally in labour!

Wet, rainy morning
Hmm.. it seems tht i've blogging rather frequently lately huh? Sindrom takde keje and takde bos. Lols. Teruk betul. Anyways... today is sooo not helping. It rained this morning, making the working-day morning rituals more difficult than they already are. Currently at the office, i'm stricken by the sleep-bug and i'm feeling so darn sleepy i could barely keep my eyes open. I'm on duty to read thru today's paper to find anything of relevance to the division... I've just done that.. and yet i can't remember what i read.. Too sleepy i think i must've dozed off while my eyes TRIED to scan through the pages. Sigh!~

Oh.. did i mention tht i'm banished from driving anywhere recently? Yep... my hubby and MIL insisted tht i don't drive anymore in my condition now. At first i felt quite upset ... coz i feel kinda smothered by their constant worrying about everything. Siap nangis2 la haritu sbb takleh drive nye pasal. Haha.. kelakar ler pulak. So now, i won't be driving until after confinement. Elok jugak.. saves me from the stress and exhaustion of driving. :) No complaints there.

Nowadays, i get to work by cab. One of hubby's acquaintances from work who does part time cabby driving was willing enough to drive me from Bt Jalil-Putrajaya and back... well.. with a price la of course. It's about 30km to get to work from the house. The current cab rate is RM 2 for the first 200 m and 10 sen for subsequent 100 m. How much does that amount to? Heh... go figure. Just adds to one more thing to be upset about. Anyways... hubby pays for it, so i might as well sit back and relax. I can't say i'm not thankful though. I'm very, VERY thankful and really appreciate my hubby for doing all the things he did to make my pregnancy as comfortable as possible. Thanks honey. *kiss*

Lagi nak dekat nak beranak ni, lagi malas nak pergi kerja and lagi cepat ngantuk la... Is it just me?

Baby, baby

As the day passes, our anticipation becomes stronger and stronger. Sigh!~ Tak sabar pulak to have this little bundle of joy in our arms. :)

Last saturday, we've sent some of the baby things back to my mom's in sepang, where i'll be staying for the duration of my confinement. The first few items tht were sent were the clothing and the bathing stuffs. Took quite some space in my room since we havent moved the wedding gifts we'd gotten a year ago to our house in bt jalil, coz we're waiting to transfer all the stuffs when we moveinto our new house. Thankfully, mama is hiring a contractor to build an outdoor store room, so that will definitely help with the removal of the abundance of stuffs in my room.

Hmm... currently trying to prepare my hospital bag. Hehe... i hate packing! Gawd.. i really dunno what to pack. I mean.. i know what to bring to the hospital but i'm having some trouble to find my clothes to bring for the stay, like big tshirts and front opening shirts or sth. Its either i can no longer fit in them, or i cant remember where i've put them. Heh. Teruk betul! :p

This thursday, i'll be going for my antenatal checkup... Hopefully this time, we'll finally get to do a 3D scan on the baby. Somehow i dont think tht the baby has engaged yet... but we'll find out during the checkup. I guess, after this checkup, the frequency will be increased to once a week la kot...

Hmm.. currently wanting (not as strong as craving tht is) a set of kaya butter toast... Freshly toasted bread, the oh-so-fattening melting slab of butter glistening on the bread, and a hefty dollop of kaya on them... Yummy... We had the toasts at old town kopitiam on saturday, teringat sampai harini la pulak.... :p

Long Holiday

The last week had been fun, with the long holiday in tow, raya and fireworks... Not forgetting the end year sale. It was a very nice long holiday indeed, and it sucks to have to come back to work today. Sigh!~ What to do looorrr....

Anyways, I'd been on leave since the 28th, when i had to go for my antenatal checkup. Then on the 29th, i had an extra one day holiday because of some technical thingy and after that my holiday continues until yesterday, for raya and new year.

Raya had been ok. We spent it in sepang, eating and eating all day. This time around, the menu was different.. we had soto instead of the usual sayur lodeh. It was a nice change, i'd say. All of us really enjoyed the soto. We also had hefty helpings of duku-langsat and rambutan. What a joy! Petang, we went back to KL to celebrate raya and mak's bday in desa pandan. Bought her unsweetened chocs and a whole cheesecake, which she can only have a few bites and bapak will enjoy the rest. :)

That night, we scout for a nice spot to watch the new years' fireworks and decided to watch it from this area in desa pandan. Too bad the fireworks were quite low and our views got blocked by some buildings. Darn it! Probably better luck next time, with our little precious on tow.

The rest of the holiday, we spent it on last minute shopping of baby stuffs. Alhamdulillah, i think we've got everything in place now, all i need to do now is prepare my hospital bag, take some of the baby stuffs that will be used during confinement to mama's place and relax myself as much as i can. Our last minute shopping item entailed the baby cot, pillows and matress, changing table, nursing stuffs, toilettries.... that's about it. We bought some more clothing for the baby, cute onesies from F.O.S. Those baju were really a steal... 2 pairs for 16 bucks.. Good brands pulak tu! hehe.. tiba2 banyak pulak stock diorang. Last time takde langsung. Anyways, I've started to wash the baby thingies and having fun folding it and putting them into their boxes... Cam terbayang2 plak baby pakai the cute baju and stockings and stuffs... :) Good way to navigate from negative thinking about labour!

Okie dokie... i'm trying to commit myself to cleaning up my work table... (my friends should know how messy my work table can get..heheheheheee). So, i better get back to it like NOW... hehehhee...

(P/S: In the process of updating my fotopage.. hehe.. as soon as i can find my camera... Isk..)
