Long overdue

ok.. so I was late.. Anyway: Happy New Year to one and all.
So freaking busy that I couldn't even blog.. sigh.. anyway, sis-in-law gave birth to a girl and making me want to have another baby. Brought me to lots of other what to do list. Instead of proscrating, here's the list:
1. Make more babies (the making is fun-er.. *snickers*)
2. Save more (always lacking in the Vit M)
3. Get promoted
4. Taking better care of health

Oh ya... talking abt health - I had dengue 1 wk before new yr! Geez.. and I had to miss my friend's Huda's wedding at that too! Missed meeting with my old friends.. Sigh.. Actually, doctors aren't confirm whether it's dengue or or virus, but I was vegetable for 1 wk. Immediately on the DnD nite (will talk abt that later), I developed high fever. Luckily I was at in-laws place as the next day, I developed even higher fever and couldn't get out of bed. Always vomitting and having inferal headache. In the end, had to go hospital for drip, was sucked blood with bruises.. and daily blood taking.. so much so I looked like a victim of a vampire!

Baby Amelia: She's now longer a baby. She's a walking, running, climbing and jumping terror on 2 feet!! Full of antics. Full of mischief.. and you know what? When she knows one is angry with her, she'll put on her brightest eyes and open her big round eyes wide and kisses you. Dang! You can't stay angry with her for a long time. She has her dad, grandma, grandpa and many others eating out of small little hand. But not her mommy, I'm resistant to all her blink-blinks and crying. I say 'Let her cry' No diff.. she'll quiet down when she's tired. Hahaha.. Sadistic mother.

Oops... speak of the devil, she's awake.. and crying for me.. xxx all!

sorry peeps

yeah.. very sorry... been very busy oft late with my assignments, work, training, training and more training.. yes.. now can become commando.. but wait! have to train again soon.. haha

Finally! managed to complete my freaking assignments. Lesson to be learnt: PREPARE early! Complete it early. Dunno how I will do in this... been so long since my mind sharpening days.. hopefully all turns out good.. inshallah.

New job.. going well thank you.. less defectives *touch wood!* and been extra more patient with the phs.. haah... learnt to just keep on smiling... keep on smiling... what can they do to us anyway? It's the law.. we just hv to follow.. right!

Oh yes.. hubby's in the ICT.. waiting for more things to happen whilst he's not around.. ok la.. need to pray now.. hopefully more time to blog later... nites all!

Finally~

Yes... finally a blog.. one of the reasons? I forgot my username.. and then I forgot my password... geez... weirdsville man!

Anyhow, let's see wat I can update on:
1) New job - very interesting. I love helping people :) But bad is that I lose my voice easily.. must undergo speaking from diaphram - hmm... My colleagues are a great bunch. Love u guys!!

2) My daughter - she's a real angel... climbing around.. munching on me... I just got her new shoes.. bigger size.. but are good for long walks.. haha.. mommy's gonna torture her with more exercisez.

3) Encounter with Arul's teachers - they irritatingly asked me and hubby to meet them when I'm on MC! Geez... me on MC is no good u know.. cranky like hell. Anyhow, me was a jumping shrimp to hear things said abt my bro.. so I also opened my story.. and handled the situation well.. so much so that the teachers were in awe.. HAH! Don't think u r teachers and much older than this couple, u can bully us. We (esp. me) don't take things lying down :P I think working at my current place also taught me life lessons and skills that are worth a lifetime. So the thing's settled with no thanks to the teachers who made personal judgement before completing proper investigation *blah* !

Oh YES, the one good thing out of it - dated my hubby for 1 hr! My God! It feels good to just have just the two of us.

Oh well.. need to chat to gf now... hehe

World cup fever - Pt 2 Congrats KOREA!!

yey to one of my fave team Korea! congrats congrats congrats!
winning the 2-1 versus tobago and trinidad (togo) was a much deserved win. The togo players were good! kudos for the superb goal (abd kader i think) at the 31 min! that was a nice clean goal. togoans were like hungry hyenas... but no match for the swift attack of the ahn and chungsoo duo. yes! those two packed a punch!

AHH... Korea bring the glory to Asia again!!!
MUACKZ!!!

world cup fever! Pt 1 - japan sux!

Yes... i know i'm supposed to be writing about the other stuff i promised... sorry... not happening in this entry! haha.. boo hoo! :P

Anyway.. finally managed to watch the first world cup match.. guess wat? i watched that humiliating excruciating match of japan vs aust where japan LOST a HUMILIATING 3-1!!! how's that to my waste of time watching it? it wasn't even mediocre! the effort wasn't even put in. it was like a bunch of ninnies (sorry to all my jap frenz) pushing their balls around as if they had all the bluidy time in the world. DAMN!
~~A real waste of my precious time to watch Korean dramas! haha...~~
Sidetrack there. honestly... i expected more from japan! they were like a hot favourite for reach the quarter finals. Now would be even tougher for them to reach it as they face off the Goliaths of the World cup! God bless them now..

Ok ok.. i'm in a crappy mood.. so let's see.. she fell and hit her head many times.. maybe that's y she's having such a big head!.. or is it because that she followed her dearest parents who both have "big heads"! lols!

My sis came over the weekend to stay for the nite.. had to accompany the little head prefect hm :P from JB. So picked them both up from JE MRT.. so bluidy far from my place.. I'm a bluidy hermit so sue me! that sidetracked.

Hubby's weirdness

Hubby at SimLim with fren.. Called him up to ask if he wants to come home with me. Guz wat he said. No need :P
I asked: U really don't want me to pick u up?
He said: No, still waiting for the PC.
I said: I wait lor.
He said: No need.
I asked: So in other words, u dun want to go hm wif me?
He said: Yes, I don't want to go hm with u.
I said: OK then. *Put the phone down*

So sad eh? Wife wants to pick up yet, he doesn't want me to. *sobs!*
Well. doesn't care. Easier for me then. No need to bother abt him :P
Me cranky.. Me PMSing

new ideas

Came in so early in the morning.. no MAIL! haha.. so managed to do up Char's invoices, DOs and CD for delivery.

Yesterday:
Normal working mother day. But managed to make Siti sleep slightly before 9pm! A miracle.. considering that she's hyper.. wants to play always and in fact, woke up at nite to play! haha.. luckily hubby was kind to take the nite shift as he's on off. Yey! Thanks darling!

Chatted with baby sis last nite.. was watching this Suria series that's last episode. Came to the part where the guy was going on about how the he found out abt the girl's life.. told her that he has a way of getting her password (DUH! who's he? A long time hacker? if ur passwords aren't saved, no way to retrieved it to read ur emails! Duh... who's he trying to bluff??) and read her life.. Goodness! That's no way to start courting the girl! Invasion of privacy.. and in fact, even Ayu commented that even she's not that dumb! haha.. cute.. told me that he shd just ask her to marry her and then after marriage then tell her.. or in my mind, dun even tell her! Stupid guy. But the girl? acted lk a total baby! run off crying .. to HER BOSS!! Idiot.. and then, went back hm to SG. This story will give us SG girls a bad name man.. despite it being a tv show. Whoever wrote the script needs more imagination and inspiration. The director? Should also fire him.. and btw, the story ended with no ending.. idiot!

something new.. something old

Darling went for his ICT in the morning. Won't see him till tomorrow :) So cool. Feels lk nothing tho. Maybe too often seeing him not at hm :P

Yea.. miss Kam.. can still even hear her clicking away at the PC. Spookie!

Tomorrow: VDAY.. Not celebrating of coz.. but wants to give darling something :) Something nice... something he'll love! *give me hints?*

Boss gave us girls VDAY gifts - handmade (not by him!) potpourri... Mine is Lavender. SO sweet. Me like! Thanks Boss!
Char - gave necklaces from BKK. Me lk too.. matches my outfit today.

BTW, heard over the radio abt a big hoo hah on radio.. abt us Singaporean girls being cheapskates - compliments by westerners! Hmm.. my 2c:
- SG girls are practical. We understand our man's difficulties.
- If SG girls were their materialistic selves, men have no chance to even eat! haha.. our standards are too high!
- Wat I want for VDay? Time to pamper myself ;)

Kelakar! ~Surat dari ayang

Funny story in Malay. Tak bole angkat!
Rabak punyer laki.. kalo laki aku, dah lame aku suruh die pi! nasib baik laki aku baik! Alhamdulillah... haha

Cerita ini tiada kena mengena sama ade yg hidup atau pun dah mati tapi ade kena mengena pada mereka yg mempunyai kereta.Hehehe!!!!.....

Dear abang,

Ayang nak mintak kebenaran abang untuk bawa anak-anak balik ke kampung. abang tak perlu hantar ayang sebab ayang mampu untuk bawa anak-anak ke kampung musim cuti sekolah ni dengan bas.. abang jagalah diri abang dan kereta abang baik-baik... cuma ada perkara yang ingin ayang luahkan disini... kereta baru abang tu mahal.. harga mencecah 100k barangkali..

Sebab tu abang sayangkan kereta abang lebih dari ayang.. sampaikan abang dah terlena dalam kereta abang tu sejak abang beli 3 bulan yang lalu dah masuk 3 malam... abang sayangkan kereta abang lebih dari ayang, nak tau ngape?

Harga kereta abang tu lebih mahal dari wang hantaran yang ayah ayang letakan masa kita kahwin dulu.. cuba hantaran ayang lebih mahal dari harga kereta abang?

Tiap-tiap pagi abang mesti gosok kereta abang, nak nampak berkilat..tapi ayang nak dapat kiss good morning pun susah sejak beli kereta tu, sebulan sekali macam-macam aksesori abang beli kat kereta, ayang nak dapat hadiah bday setahun sekali pun susah..

Kereta sebulan sekali abang servis, abang kata kena jaga maintainance..ayang nak dapat pi salon setahun sekali pun susah..kereta abang make up lawa-lawa.. tapi kalau ayang make up lawa-lawa abang kata ayang tak sedar diri

Kereta abang bagi makan minyak mahal-mahal cecah 100 setin pun ada, ayang nak makan pizza sekeping jer masa mengidam anak kedua kita abang kata ayang mengada-ngada

Kereta abang kalau anak-anak sentuh sikit bodynya abang marah anak macam nak makan, ayang jatuh longkang besar boleh abang gelak paling menyedihkan..ayang tanya ngape tidur dalam kereta? abang jawab takut orang curi kereta abang.. kalau ayang kena curi??

Ayang nak balik kampung dulu.. anak-anak nak jumpa atuk dengan nenek depa..tak nak naik kereta abang takut calar.. ayang calar takpe.. jaga diri elok-elok, sarapan ayang dah sediakan. ayang pi tak lama, sekolah bukak ayang balik lah dengan anak-anak.. pesanan ayang..

ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU MASAKKAN MAKAN KESUKAAN ABANG,
ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU BASUHKAN PAKAIAN ABANG,
ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU GOSOKAN KEMEJA ABANG,
ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU SIAPKAN AIR MANDI ABANG,
ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU KEMASKAN RUMAH ABANG,
ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU URUT-URUT BADAN ABANG,
ABANG SURUHLAH KERETA ABANG TU TEMANKAN ABANG TIDUR

Love,
Ayang

Moral of the story..sayangilah isteri kiter yg sentiasa menyayangi,menguruskan dan mengambil berat pasal diri kite lebih dari segala2nya yg dia ade.. KUANG KUANG KUANG !!!!!!!!!!!! c," )

Sorry sis.. I'm not plagiarising.. just grabbing copyrights haha! So baby sucking on oranges.. so cute!

Sickie me

Yeps. Sick. The day before sick. Yesterday sick. Today also sick.
Yesterday slept the day away... almost... eyes so heavy, brain doesn't want to sleep. Coughing the day away. nOW that's true.

Ok. so the kids are in school starting yesterday. Me didn't cook. So asked them to just eat from school. Haha.

Amelia on her 1st Eid Adha

Wore her first baju kurong! It's blue and small enough for her. Bought it during the Aidil Fitri period and 2 mths after, she's able to wear it! wow! growing really fast.. but it's loose.. she's tall and slim haha!

Oh yes! She's already climbing and holding onto things. Just yesterday, I caught her holding onto her walker. Scary man! Scared that the thing moved.. luckily the walker has its brakes on. If not, she'll be skating around the place :P

Updates on her 'sacrificial' sheep... if it's a human, i'll say it acts exactly lk her! Other than it's a male sheep (young too), it behaves like her. Black head. Needs 4 people to check its kicking legs. And still it continues kicking. Of coz, baby looks curiously on as it was being slaughtered. Babies! In fact, she was asleep while waiting and then... she woke up just in time to see her sheep. Talk abt gd timing.

Anyway, went late to inlaws place as Amelia was snoring away for a couple of hours.
Baby girl, you r mommy's treasure!

Baby Amelia's visit to the docs

Well.. guess what she did there?!
Got her circumcision. Then, got her ears pierced! Now, she looks like a girl. So pretty.
But of coz, she cried. She cried more when ears are pierced than the big C!

Anyway, will upload her pics... after raya :)

Kam's Wedding!

Aww.. she was gorgeous! So different from her normal look. Like a princess!
Wanted to take photos of the food to show boss.. but we were too hungry! So sorry boss, your food's all gobbled up :)
Ivy was Emcee for Mandarin folks and she was good. A good catch for our marketing team. Yey!
Baby came too! She.. well... had too much attention. With all the 'sisters' and 'aunties' playing with her, she wouldn't want to sleep. In fact, she didn't sleep until almost 1am! Goodness! Next time can't bring her to late events :P Sorry folks! She 'ek' and 'okh' can 'mati' liao!
Best with babies award for girls union:
1st - Rach
2nd - Dun
Last - Char! haha! Want to cry looking at her face.. hmm.. wat happen to you Char? haha!

Anyway, need to ciao. Have meeting this morning liao. Aiyah...

Jason & Shirley's church wedding! Congrats u 2! Shirley looks gorgeous! Jason.. well.. charming :) And yes, he did his surprises still.
Went with Yan. Poor Yan - her glamor spoilt by Baby Amelia who grabbed and cried her heart out. But, here's a shoutout to Yan:
THANKS! For taking care of Amelia.
For being a friend.
Things will get better soon.

Get to meet old buddies like Claud, Ivan, Lawrence, Serene, Ivy. Heard that Hon got married as well... but he failed to invite me! So sad... Wishing him and Sally the best. Heard that my friends made it big.. so cool for them.

Sun: New Year!!!!
Hmm.. dunno wat I did. But I remembered wat Baby did!
She... SAT by herself!! I'm sooo glad!
Regret that we didn't capture it by camera :( She's so cute :)

Mon: Sick.. Hubby upset too... coz he did something wrong... a small mistake too.. kena whacked by company. Sheesh! He kena bad. Told him to think of family. Maybe it's high time he ciao! lol! Me soo good at instigating, but it's the truth. Y stay on when there's more opportunities elsewhere.

Tue: Baby cried the whole of last night. Dunno what's wrong. Going to doctor's today.

Mommie loves Baby Amelia!

Baby Amelia's FIRST Crawl!

She crawled yesterday! Yes! She did! I'm so proud of her..
Amelia brought her butt up high.
Went on her fours slowly but surely.
Took a brave step..
Moved 2 wonderful steps (or crawl??)
Plopped to the floor
Grinning impishly
Goo goo ga ga-ing away
Mommie's sooo proud of her!
Mommie cried.
Amelia's so cute!

Hubby took a movie clip of her first steps! Can't wait for her to start walking.

Mommie loves you darling!

Testy Friday

Congratulations, you got 8/10 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?

So I still can think after all... after long years of not touching maths!!

:p - The verdict

OK. So got a hefty fine. Everyone else there told me wat to do. Turns out me was the only first-timer! Geez! So it was an experience. Yes! At least it's cheaper than what I tot. Whatever mitigation - all same amt. Wat's worse? No electronic payment! Grr.. have to have $$$ ready to pay. So all - if have any fines for URA/HDB bring enough $$$

One thing I've got a grudge - the police officer there - the one that 'jaga' the gated place. Treated us like as if we are so big time criminals. Geez! Save your attitude to one who really deserves it :P And yes, I think I know him... ex schoolmate - one in NPCC. Tina should know him. Even then, he was bossy. Maybe should put a word to get him transferred to prisons! haha

Breath~~

Let's all breath in.. breath out... yes... learn how to breath!

Too many things need to do today man! Meetings lined up back to back. I'm planning to bring the kids home tomorrow so less things to worry.. then, send my car for inspection/ check up...

- Postnatal blues - my experience.

Busie B!

Very busy week man! Juz doze baby to sleep. She's getting cuter tho! Went for her monthly checkup and jab. Results: She's underweight! *gulps* so young already underweight so paed advise to spoon feed her so she wouldn't be too full.

Siblings are in town. Sending them home tomorrow. Poor thing them.. they'll soon be tortured here! haha.. But they've been behaving themselves which is a tremendous improvement.

Made 2 types of cookies - pineapple tarts and choc covered biscuit. Too tired to make others. Supposed to make my kuih layang2 - maybe later. Cornflakes? Later also - when less busy. Haven't spring cleaned yet. Hubby doing it. Me - cooking section. Gg to cook tomorrow - 2 days b4 raya - coz hubby's working on day b4 raya - so me no helper for Siti - besides, I've no car. Gg to make simple dishes only. Ayam masak merah, lodeh, sambal goreng. Beef rendang - later. Satay - later. LOL!

Now? Me searching for schools for my siblings. Then arranging for courier for Athirah's baju kurong. Si my bro dah bangun ker tak??? SMS tak reply pun! Wake up lah dol!!! Haha

Hair cut

Yes, got myself a new hairdo yest @ Chap2 @ Bugis. Consulted with them for 30mins. Finally decided to rebond my hair!
Had Jes to do my rebond. Another girl to do my chemical treatment, Eric to condition my hair and Dickson to cut my hair. Haha.. So many!! Eric said my hair is healthy. He so worried liao at first - tot I was balding coz so much hair loss! haha!! Told him I juz gave birth - relief! kaka!

So now my hair nice nice. But... My hubby said not nice.. say fake stiffness. Haha! Told him my hair will be more normal, but he still no like. Cranky him. Tickled him at nite. He manja with me. Now he's @ home cleaning fish tank. Cute eh? V. handy around the house. *grins*

Half day again

Everything from the base to the pineapple was HARD! Haha.. My cornflakes merangue? Became pooped cornflakes haha.. Oh well, will just make them this week.

Mon: Searched for new car. Called in the reinforcements! Haha - my bro-in-law. But his contact didn't gv us a gd deal la .. so sad! The upfront $$ was high! $11K++!! Oh yes, called up another guy - he put the phone down on me!! *gulps* me that poor meh? Finally got that guy who I screamed at.. haha.. and he struck me a gd deal. Low upfront and others.

Flight Home

Guz wat? Flight home from KL JL722 kena delayed by 35mins! Geez! Only boarding at 10.15pm instead of 9.30 :( Sad! So waited for a LONG time today. Chicken rice was funny.. Oh yes, noticed that Iced Lemon T in My is funny :| I think they use powder form. Yucks!

The airport - sad amenitied man! Toilets - spoilt! How bad - they should maintain it properly if you are receiving intl customers.

Updates from meeting today? I dun see any moving forward. Chasing partner to do something. The only one that got action and possible results is ST - thru another partner.

So today - spent the whole day waiting.. in the car.. in the airport... in the plane.. in the taxi.. and finally, I drove from my place to inlaws @ 0030! Haha.. Pa-in-law was waiting up for me. So sweet! Don't you think??

COLD! *sniffs*

Now @ event. In the seminar room. Very cold.
How's the event? Not good! 3 out of 10. Only 3 companies turn up. No good. Juz talked to disti. Will push for more in Nov

Lunch @ McD with M later. He has ppt this evening to potential. Will talk to him later.

So another free slot today - maybe meet X. See if he's free.

Flying off to SG tonite. Need to go home to take car and drive to inlaws. See if I'm not sleepy.. hehe

In KL

Yes. Once again in KL. Staying in Grand ParkRoyal. Nice place. Very good service! Sayang.. only NO wireless... Now hijacking someone else's bandwidth :)

Had too much food. Partner brought us to very good eating places. Now sure to grow fat :( Sad.. very I think worth the weight gain! Very gd Nasi Kandar. Fish Head Curry - POWER! *slurps* very heaty though.. now slight throaty.

Traffic here is bad. Yes. And by 4.30pm all Muslims Ciao Liao home for buka. Wah seh.. jealous! 2hrs off a day!! Their culture. Value of this meeting. Get to meet ST. Good potential. Nov timeframe. Now hopefully their new mgmt (haven't appoint yet) dun pull any tricks. *gulps* $$$ Overall up to today, the meetings are of low value. Hopefully DGN gets something out. Told Disti to include me in all their discussions. But no worries, anchor is for the seminar tomorrow. Many new companies meeting and in the afternoon meeting the folks playing mindef. So it's cool.

Went shopping juz now.. got office ppl cute stuff! Wait till I bring back this Thu!! Don't ask me now hor.. hehe.. yes, got something for hubby, baby and me :) Hubby - 3/4 pants - he loves those type. Baby - cute socks, cute overall, cute set of pants and top :) ME? 3/4 pants.. so that I can use it for Thu! haha.. me no clothes at in laws mah.. and hubby working nite shift on Thu :( So I can only see hubby on Fri evening.

Supposed to post something yesterday - nvr do lah. Usual! Too busy!

So come early morning today - finish the outstanding stuff. Just left to do quotes :) Anyway - today's Saad's last day with us. SO SAD :( *sobs* Going to miz that alien. No more coffee junkie in the office *cries*

Had his farewell dinner last evening @ Swensen's Funan. I must say - intelesting! hehe.. calling to reserve was cute. Chinese Auntie - auntie english no gd! Hehe.. So had to even help her spell my name *grins* and say my no. one by one! Aiyah.. first time kena such a cute auntie doing reservation - maybe she's just the cook :)

OK. Dinner was fun. Served with just water first to break fast :( Starters came late, but who cares as long as the main course is there. Yes, the service was rather bad - but not to spoil the mood as the person may be new - but 1 recommendation to them - TRAIN YOUR PEOPLE. Saw the same waitress (middle-aged) kena scolded by another customer thoroughly. Poor thing! Lucky we not that fussy :-) Oh yes, had Chicken Baked Rice *grins* and tasted the rests' FishNChips, Breaded Chicken. Wanted to try Kw's crayfish pasta, but he too bloody far away from me :( Sad.. Oh yes, ordered yummy fries, 2 rodeo wings and earthquake combo - under boss' account! kakaka! The earthquake came a bit soggy. Pistachio and mint don't go well at all! Yuckies! Anyway, had a good time. Wish Char and Boss were around. We bullied Saad into finishing up all the food! hahaha!

Oh ya.. forgot.. this morning.. parked at the big Armenian CP. Parked car - someone else drove in and asked if I'm driving off. Obviously NOT! I just got in. Duh.. Then opened my boot to get my stuff. Another person came (on foot) and asked if I'm driving off.. Shakes head violently! Y r ppl so wanting to get my slot??? I just got in. Talk abt parking...

Yesterday tried gg to the Pasir Ris HDB area - free parking on SUN rite? Saw a slot on 2nd level. Signalled to go in. Moved forward a bit.. and the LEXUS behind me moved forward as well! I horned to tell him that I wanted to go in. The jerk just looks on... SO IRRITATING! No way I can just 'sit there' so had to drive on... the idiot LEXUS driver went OUT of the carpark! Geez... selfish B******! So angry!!!

Oh yea.. I kena twice at that carpark! Dunno if I'm so tao mei! Jinxed at the carpark.

Oh yes, met my sis-in-law, hubby and Putri! *my cute little pumpkin* Coz we've got invitation to go to a thanksgiving ceremony (hair shaving lah) for her my in-laws' neighbor's new born baby. Cute baby! Very chubby! Only 1 mth younger than Amelia but he's so HUGE! Heard he slept and wakes up to feed only... unlike my active baby who wouldn't sleep in the day! Active! haha! Went home on Sat to clean house and cook for (sick - sore throat) hubby. Sad huh? Still have to do household chores on bday :( But it's ok.. read on further...

Went home with hubby and baby @ nite. Told him to heat up the food first coz me sleeping baby. He said, "OK, but you help serve me drink k." Me said,"OK." Thinks nothing out of ordinary... but thinking back... he seldom ask me to serve drinks when he's setting out dinner. *shrugs*... Me served the meal, get the drinks from the fridge.. *still saw nothing out of ordinary* Then hubby said,"See the eggs." Me went,"Wat? U want eggs too?!" He was exasperated... then.. I saw! At the corner of the egg place... was... a jewellery box! Wow! Such a pleasant surprise! Me was definitely shocked! Didn't expect to get a pressie coz we are very tight budget this month. My darling is so romantic... Gave me a cool (literally) gold earrings! Now wearing it.. hehe THANKS so much hunny!!! Love you! - Not only for the gift but for the whole surprise thing.. hehe...

Sunday: Went out to Pasir Ris Park for a picnic and picture taking.. Baby Amelia's 4mths today! So cute... Took many many pics.. then went off to in-laws again! *This week we went and stayed at in-laws often man!* Hubby had to go for his RT haha.. Failed IPPT mah!

Today: Many many things to do. Have to chase many deals! Last week of Sept!!! ARgh! Stress..

Mona sent me a very cute birthday card (copyright Hallmark, of coz!) So nice... A very animated and cheery card which puts me on a happy face the moment I received it.

Thanks Mona!

Then boss treated to nice coconut jelly dessert - woah! shiok! must try again when up here.

Anyhow, having her shaving hair ceremony and our open house this Sunday. Anyone who's not yet invited, please give me a ring. I lost phone numbers when I changed my phone.. aiyah.. so give me a buzz k.

Met so many interesting cars today going to work. Saw Uncle Rahim Angullia and another car on the side before Fort Rd exit. His van kena whacked from the back by a bright lime green car (driven by a woman driver ugh.. gives woman-drivers a bad name). Anyway, he changed the color of his Merc van to dark green. Interesting..
Then, saw a grey Mitsubishi Lancer on my rear mirror - who tailgated me all the way to work. Who's the driver? Chris lor! LOLz..

Baby development:
She's now very fun to play with... my personal doll to doll up and to make faces with. Hehe.. She hates being carried; loves to just laze on her bouncer or gym or mattress. Expects people to be around her - maybe feeling bored haha..
Loves to 'jalan2' (walk2 lah) and hates to be at one spot all the time... so must walk2 always. hehe
Loves to take long bubble bath and splash about. Hates to be taken out of her tub before she's done playing with the water... and all at 2mths old! I wonder what else she's going to do. *grins*

Bubble

First time played bubble (yeah.. lousy huh?).. and didn't win.. so tried and tried until learnt the fundamentals.. hah.. final game.. me win over undisputed champion, Dunlin. Hahaha... I feel good..

Going own home today. So will pick up daughter and hubby later.

Friday and IQ test

Stayed at in-laws last nite coz too late and in-law worry abt me and baby. Anyway, did IQ test just now. The results...

Lindah, your Super IQ score is 113

Your overall intelligence quotient is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly. But it's only part of what we learned about you from your answers on the test. We also determined the way you process information.

The way you think about things makes you a Visual Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have many diverse talents. You have especially strong linguistic talents and are very good at interpreting visual information. You've got your feet on the ground, but your mind is capable of very complex, abstract thought. Compared to others, you are easily able to see situations from many different angles. You also understand how things work in a very practical way.

So I think with my mouth ;-)

Krazy Thu

Did many crazy things during lunch time these past 2 days.

Tue: Had lunch with Yuling and TY @ BK Peninsula. TY is accepted to be with Silkair. Congrats! Rained after lunch.. so went over to Watson's to get umbrella. Umbrella's @ $9.90 .. too Ex.. so.. got a 2 for $1.95 poncho! LOL.. imagine 2 very nicely dressed married ladies wearing red and blue 'plasticbags' hahaha...

Thu: LOL! Company lunch with Jap pizzas.. not bad.. for Jon's leaving for UK and Charlene's Bday month. Anyhow.. the 2 ponchos came into picture again when it's time for performance. Go-Karting in office.. Sales vs Tech :) Tech won.. but it was fun seeing red and blue poncho wearing folks on 2 roller chairs as karts. lol.

Have Pilates later. See how that goes as well :)

Monday Blues!

Oh yeah.. it's a blue day alright! It's raining heavily now... and I've started work also! First day of work after so long MIA. Wish me luck!

Blogging from Home

Yes! Finally! I've moved! Did it on Tuesday. Yes.. how cool is that, eh??? Anyway, the house is still a big mess as I haven't the time to clean it yet. Hubby's working now.. he forgot his phone.. and he is having dinner with his friends tonight.. so I'm not cooking.

Baby's sleeping well now. She's still having that bad prickly heat rash.. but improving.. the redness on the body has also gone away.. now left with the one on her scalp. Her cough/ phlegm has gone away too so she can have her 2nd Hep jab tomorrow. Will discuss with the doctor on the 4-in-1 jab for her.. might as well get that over and done with.

Hmm

Nothing much to post today except a pic of Baby Lia here... This is taken at the hospital when she was 1 day old :-)

Anyway, moving house soon. Got everything including things for the kitchen, etc. Will update soon.

Baby's One Month!

Hey! Time flies fast.. It's 25 Jun 05 - Baby Lia's 1st Month! Yey! She's now sleeping.. hopefully she won't wake up tonite and stay awake - like last nite.

Anyway, Happy Belated Birthday to my Hubby... Sorry can't get you any pressie. Will make it up soon.. as soon as I finish my confinement. hehe.. Love you!

Baby Lia in Hospital

Yes. She went into hospital from 2nd to 5th June coz she vomitted badly till she was dehydrated. Yes, I cried the whole of the first night. Saw baby put on drip.. Really bad.

The docs did many tests - they probed and they scoped - did Baromine scan, xrays, urine tests; stayed in hospital for 3 days but found nothing to be wrong. The worst thing??? They put my poor 8-day old baby on NBM (Nil by Mouth), ie no food nor drink by mouth! Horrid! So poor baby was crying nite and day for a drop of milk or drink. :( This is really depressing me..

Hubby stayed the whole 1st nite by himself to take care of the baby. I accompanied him from 2nd nite onwards. Hubby went home to rest on the second day with me alone with baby. Boy! was it a trial.. they put a tube to her stomach (thru the nose) to remove everything in it - as they wanted to do more tests.

My temperaments then? I was a testy, demanding mother.. who blasted at one of the doctors there who wouldn't tell me what to do. Idiots! They need to take EQ.

Finally, after I told them that the breastmilk that I've been feeding her was ok and that her formula (S26 Gold) make her puke again, they diagnosed that Baby Lia's intolerance to the formula. Argh! Even I could have told them that. So next time people... if your baby's having projectile vomitting - check your formula.

Labor experience

Well.. I had contractions... steady mild ones the whole day of 24th May, but didn't tell hubby until very much later.. like @ 9pm.. hahaha.. and he decided based on in-laws' advice that we should go to the hospital.

@ KKH - (I was still smiling and enjoying myself) hey.. it's still very mild.. so had to go to the obs room.. where.. I got the shock of my life when the woman doc just probed my cervix! No warning except "don't tense up or it'll be painful" - what am a first time mother to know what that means! And it hurt.. traumatic! Cervix dilated 1.5cm so.. I can either go home or stay warded. I opted to go home - hey it's already 11+pm; I might as well rest at home in the comfort of my own bed! Anyway, woke up at 4.30am to bad backache, but still can tahan so waited for 6am before I started to tear in pain to go to KKH. But it's not as bad as the labor itself!

@KKH2 - Taxi uncle can ask if we are in emergency.. obviously from my cringing expression! Oh btw, it was raining badly. Ayway, @ 24hr clinic, I was wheeled to the delivery suite immediately while hubby registered for me. Midwife told about the various pain reducing methods: Gas, jab or epidural. I thought I could handle the pain.. so opted for natural birth and gas. Didn't know that I can't take the jab when I'm dilated more than 3cm. So when the pain got really bad, I asked .. no, screamed for epidural while hubby was forcing the gas on me. Btw, I vomited violently after taking the gas - emptied my tummy of everything! Anyhow, to have the epidural, my waterbag had to be broken and when it did, the contractions came in torrents in 1 min interval. I couldn't stand the urge to push.. and when the anaesthetist finally came (was VERY SLOW!) and after she explained the consequences, etc. , she found out that I don't need it coz the baby's head is already there! Urgh... so I pushed @ 5-6cm dilated and the baby came wailing out @ 11.33am!

The patch up job was BAD - I had a 3rd degree job for 1.5hrs. Had their snr consultant to do it also coz there was a hidden vessel that burst in my rectum. In fact, it was bad enough that if they don't find this vessel, I would have to go into Op Theatre. But they did, so it was done! Trauma... Ended.

Finally Online!

Baby Lia starting fidgeting so have to hurry.. since I've lots of news to share, I'll do this is phases:
- Labor Experience
- Baby's Check up @ Poly and Hospitalization
- Baby's Health

So check out the next few blogs... Now I've to attend to my baby :)

I'm a Mommy!

Yey! I'm a mommy now... Gave birth to a baby girl on 25th May 05. The experience? I'll spare the details to another day... hehe.. Just good to say that I've survived.

Baby's name: Siti Nur Amelia
Meaning: The Light of the Believer, Protected by Allah
Weight at birth: 2.595kg
Head circumference: 33cm
Length: 46cm (hah! will be a tall baby)

Looks: Cheena... hahahaha...

Now will try to download emails again... somehow me can't download office mails. Sickening!

Still driving..

Yeah.. me drove today.. Hubby allowed me coz.. taking MRT doesn't guarantee me a seat.. thanks to our very 'gracious' Singaporeans. Trust me! I once gave up a seat to another 'more' pregnant lady in my early pregnancy stage.. while on other times, I've encountered guys staring at me while playing with their phones or handheld games :-P Lousy Singaporeans! Usually older men and women (like in the 50s and above) would give up seats to pregnant ladies. Well, I could scream out that I need a seat.. but society frowns on me having the cheek to even ask for one. Hmm.. maybe I'll ask for a seat when I really need it. Hahaha.. Let's splash some cold water on these people.

Still haven't started on my writings yet. So my other blog is still not up. Maybe I'll start during my maternity leave.. since I've nothing to do but be a mother :-)

Final Inspection

Sounds like some sort of investigative work eh? Haha.. Well, sort of, but not real near enough :)

Hubby n I went to our soon-to-be-our house to do inspection. Made our list of things to check. Found some things missing or faulty... well.. and the previous owner took ALL of the appliances and useful stuff except for the ... rubbish! Argh! They should clear those as well.. My poor hubby will have a big time to clear, clean, paint, etc. basically to do magic wonders to the place... on his own.. poor thing...

BTW, dad-in-law came to inspect the house also... :-D

Stress Tummy..

Woke up late :( Drove slowly, but got a parking slot without waiting at all. Nice!

Had p-nut butter sandwich just now for break, but still hungry. Mousie wants something warm. Dunno what to get leh.. Me want Tom Yum! hehe..

Aiyah.. baby stretching me to the max.. Maybe she wants to make her appearance soon... oh-oh..

Wet Weddie

Oh yeah.. it rained since last night and was still drizzling when I drove to work. Amazingly, traffic was great! Smooth! But Dad-in-law was still worried with me driving. hehe.. a 37+3 wks PREGNANT lady driving. Watch out roads! Sadly, had to wait some time for a parking slot - managed to finish 2 cheese toasts. Yummy!

See what boss sent out for updates: "Quite an action-packed month ahead, so hold on tight for the exciting ride!

Oh yes, Lindah will have her own exciting journey too as Lindah Junior Edition is scheduled for June "release" :-) "

Kekekeke...

Something New

Got something new for the week:
(1) New HP: Nokia 3230 - cool new features. Still to check out the bluetooth connectivity.
(2) Dell Inspiron 700m - super cool new 12.1" notebook. Now the envy of the folks here @ work hehe.. Still somehow very cranky. Still need to figure out how to connect to the local network.. grr..

Baby - is healthy. Got a scare last Sun morn - horrible (thankfully, irregular) contractions.. that started from my back to my tummy. Like the combination of menstrual cramps and tummy ache cramps (you can imagine the discomfort). Yesterday's check up was better coz I asked all the questions and the gynae was happily sharing the info. Incidentally, it's a He. hahaha...

So next check up is on next Monday @ 0925.

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are flexible and ready for anything!

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Your brain: 80% interpersonal, 60% visual, 80% verbal, and 180% mathematical!

Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers. Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious: Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%. Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%. Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 74% on interpersonal You scored higher than 59% on visual You scored higher than 74% on verbal You scored higher than 88% on mathematical

Finally - Cafe Cartel

Yes! Finally! Had the Wed special @ Cafe Cartel. Had the pasta with Chicken Teriyaki Sauce. I find it too salty. Yuling & Moon (who had the Beef Straganoff pasta) said the same thing - maybe we are 2 healthy. Software Tyrant Saad (new title 4 him) & Wilford (new guy) enjoyed it. Can't finish my serving. Too big.

Last Sat - bought a replacement for ButtHead - hubby bought it to cheer me up. It's now Orangie - head's orange & crinkled like orange. Hehe.. Bought a Pikachu Oranda - hubby's, but I think it's a bit skinny.

Day after Labor Day Hol

*Yawns* Good rest after holidays. Slept the weekend away. Well, it should be a good rest.. esp. when I wrecked my left plastic skirting. I think it's time to get new car.. what car should I get???

New guy coming tomorrow. Will need to prepare him work in the morning, esp. when I'm not around. Sigh...
