Happy 7th month baby boo!

Time flies so fast ans i am now entering my third semester already. 12 weeks to go to see you, my little being! mommy is so excited.

They say it's time to stock some baby stuff as now i am still able to move actively (psstt...even have i noticed that i'm getting slower). So far, we have already bought a MacLaren stroller from London as it's a lot cheaper than in Malaysia and we can occasionally switch with Mudz's Quinny Zap.



MacLaren Techno XT for newborn up to 3 yo.



Quinny Zapp with Car Seat

The mid season sales in Mothercare, oxford Street was soooo irresistable. We bought Tommee Tippee Feeding Set with Electric Sterillizer for only GBP28.99. In Malaysia it's selling about RM300++. I bought you lotsa cute jumpers, socks, swaddle blankets and dresses.



I cant wait to shop again. Still have a lot of things to buy for your arrival. At the mean time i have "My Birth Plan" project in progress. Baby boo, this gonna be awesome. When i keep thinking about it i get freaked out sometimes. I have quite a long to-do list in hand and i just don't know what to do first. hehe..i'll figure it out later okay!

Hey, i just started to plot your movement chart! It's just something i feel excited to do. Counting your movements in my tummy and i smile every time i jot down the timing and frequency. Well, you are such an active girl i might say! I notice your hiccups, kicks, stretches and i can even tell when you tickle me. I have to admit that i really have a good chat with you nowadays as you can respond to my voice. This is amazing darling! You know what i can lie down doing nothing but look at my tummy and enjoying the wave and wiggles from the inside. You know what? Sometimes i feel that i have more than 2 babies in my womb. It feels like you are everywhere! But baby boo, it can be hurtful sometimes..!!

Owh remember when i tell you that i was looking for a shopping bag full of your dresses and newborn set? I did not find it..*sob*sob* I must have left/threw it away before coming back to Malaysia. Damn hormones, i cant recall a thing!!!! They were Zara tops that nanny bought, Zara socks, and the one that i regret most is Cath Kidston set which is not sold in Malaysia!!! Erghhh, how frustrating! But, maybe it's not your "rezeki", hmm..i thinking maybe i can "kirim" uncle azim to buy the cath kidston set when he's going there in December. yes sayang, mommy will try ok!



in my next posting, mommy will remind you about our trip recently. It just something i wanted to do before deliver. It was such a good experience and mommy has to thank you for being such a good girl during our stay there! You make me feel strong and energetic! So, guess i'll write you again next time. Ok, could you please calm down now? Pewut mommy macam nak pecah la sayang!! Please..

The flutter sensation, was that you?

“ You are now about the size of an avocado (about 5 inches / 11.6 centimeters long from crown to rump and weighing approximately 4 ounces / 100 grams). In the next three weeks you’ll go through a tremendous growth spurt, doubling your weight and adding inches to your length.

In or out of the womb, babies are playful creatures. You may already have discovered your first toy - the umbilical cord - which you enjoy pulling and grabbing. Sometimes you may even clutch it so tight that less oxygen gets through, but don’t hold onto it long enough to harm yourself. The circulatory system and urinary tract are in full working order, and you are inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid through your lungs”



16th week, and I am happier than ever…realizing that I vomit less, and very much enjoying everyday food feast. Everyday, I go for my soto at office sharp at 10am. I never liked rose syrup before but it does now seem to be one of my favourites. Soto and syrup is becoming my routine. Even the soto uncle knew what I’m going to order as soon as he sees me. He will then prepare what I want and I get my mee hoon soto as soon as I sit. Hehe..how kind! For lunch, I prefer nasi (eventhough before I get pregnant I seldom take nasi for lunch – noodles used to be my favourite)..and I usually end up taking the same thing for almost everyday. It’s either nasi + pajeri terung + telur masin or nasi goreng ikan masin or nasi putih with squid padprik.. Like I always tell daddy, I have a very “kampong” pregnancy. Western food and fast food is totally out of my liking.

Last weekend, I decided to only stay home with daddy. Or, maybe I was having “sleepy syndrome” where I sleep tak kira masa or tempat..haishh.. I just don’t want to go out! On Sunday afternoon, your Uncle Iran has bought apam balik. I did not know at first until I saw daddy was holding it. That looked damn good. Here’s another weird thing….i never liked apam balik before and it suddenly looks very tasty to me. I was drooling and yet still a bit lazy to go out to grab one. I waited and lie down flat on the bed until the urge to eat apam balik comes back. Went out and look around but I don’t see apam balik at all…. “Where are the apam baliks???” I asked the two maids and they just rose up their shoulders telling me that they have no idea. Asked around and to my disappointment, the apam balik is already finished. I quickly turned back to my room knowing that the tears would drop in second. In the room, I approached daddy telling him the apam balik has already finished. When he saw that I’m crying because of that apam balik he was soooooo much in shock. “It’s just apam balik, darling….why are you crying?” ..I instantly felt that question wasn’t helpful at all. “But I want that apam balik!” I nearly yelled in so much frustration. “Okay, if you want that apam balik we can ask Iran where he bought it from, we go straight away and get it, and you can eat panas2…!” trying to pujuk me, hubby said in a very sweet tone. “But why you didn’t offer me just now? You ate it alone never think about me?”…erghhh, I don’t understand why I said that. But very emotionally I was, hubby came closer and said “I’m sorry..lets get the apam balik now…want or not?” patting my head and give me a very warm hug. “Let’s go!” like a melted ice-cream under the hot sun, I agree. I started to smile and change my sleep wear to something nicer. At last, I got my apam balik and get to eat it panas2..it taste just marvelous. The conclusion here, I can be very emotional at times over something which daddy doesn’t think it really matters to me. It’s hard to predict (I understand when I get my “consciousness” back) a pregnant lady feelings over something/someone and I promise to try not to give hard time to daddy anymore…hehehe..SORRY DADDY!

That was my apam balik story, my baby boo!

I started to know how miracle happens when I have you. I was hoping more amazing things to happen during this pregnancy. Yesterday when I was in front of my computer at my workstation I felt a flutter sensation. I knew from my readings that, expectant mother can already feel (if they are lucky enough) the baby movement as early as 15th week. At first, I thought I was hungry, regaining my memory…I just had a full Tupperware of nasi lemak and it’s close to impossible that I feel hungry again in that short period of time. Still in denial, I did not believe my instinct that says it was you maybe doing some acrobatic stunts inside my tummy. I just let go when I felt the same sensation on the way back home. I was singing in the car and suddenly I felt like there’s a worm crawling in my tummy….and being stupid me (I blame the “baby brain syndrome”) I thought it really was a worm…hehe. I wanted to believe it was you but again, I don’t want to put so much hope on it. Psssttt..if it was really you..can you do that again??????? Please……..!

So my baby boo, have fun in mommy’s hotel. Keep on giggling and wiggling!

Hello tiny bean,

Let me recap a lil bit of a memories in my first trimester:-

6th week - Mood swing..mood swing..mood swing.. Vomit from day to night and i took 2 days leave to bedrest due to fatigue and discomfort. This was when i got to know bout my threatened miscarriage. Doc gave me a jab and ask to have a lotsa rest.


Pic: You at 6th week. note the liquid surround your pouch,that's threatened miscarriage.

7th week - Lost my appetite. Whatever i take i'll vomit. Lost 2 kg. But i looook heavier than usual. A bit chubby.

8th week - My 2nd antenatal visit when doc said she still can see the threatened miscarriage but this time not so bad. Doc gave me Duphaston and ask me to take care of myself. Still no appetite and i've been nibbling crackers and put some near my bed. Whenever i feel nauseous, i'll nibble on something. That helps but not for long.


Pic: You at 8th week. Less liquid in the pouch means the miscarriage risk has dropped slightly.

9th week - 11 weeks - Still having nausea and vomitting. Heartburn? tell me bout it!!!! I still dont get a chance to enjoy this pregnancy yet. But, knowing that you are living inside me i feel stronger..thank you tiny bean.

12th week - this is when i had pelvic pain. i couldnt even walk when it snaps. My guess either kidney infection or really a pelvic pain due to pelvic expansion. I went to see 2 docs and both said it could happen to a pregger during their first trimester but most cases are in their last trimester probably 2-3 weeks before due. Owh, unlucky me!!!! Doc only gave pandol which i try not to take.

And now.............in my 13th week. I went to gynae and she said the threatened miscarriage is gone and my nausea is slowly subside (but i still have it sometimes). I feel happy and started to enjoy my pregnancy.


Pic: Look at you...! You have doubled your size..

My child, i cherish you every moment. I sing and talk to you everyday. When i got to see you last time, i feel like crying..i saw you were moving..i saw you crossed your hands. And daddy asked doctor whether he can see your beautiful eyes. The doc told him not this soon. You already have the eyelids but you haven't opened your eyes yet. I saw daddy so amazed when he got to see you.

I just realized that i cant call you tiny bean anymore. Cause you are growing so rapid now. What should i call you then??? Daddy calls you "budak kecik". Every morning he will knock-knock on your door and kiss you. Before he goes to office he will say goodbye to you and says "Grow grow!". Everynight before he sleep, he will touch you and sometimes talk to you. He is soooo excited that we are having you!

It's lunch time and i know you are hungry! So, i better go and get some food for you. But first, let me know...what you feel like eating??

Assalamualaikum my tiny bean!

When i first know that i’m having you i was delighted as i have been waiting for nearly a year. I went through ups and downs, depression and stuff until daddy started to worry. Looking at your Aunt Lina and Aunt Ina carrying their big tummy around making me feel so depressed. I wanted to have you so badly. I started taking folic acid, controlled my food, less caffeine intake and i learned yoga. When those did not work, i try the conservative way and Nanny being so kind even called “makcik urut” to come and urut me. I went for my urut thingy and continue taking folic acid until…..

5th May 2010 (it was mommy’s and daddy’s anniversary as bf-gf), when i went for my regular check-up with Dr. Ganesh; my gastroentrologist. I complained to Dr. Ganesh that his medication delayed my menses and makes me feel fatigue. Dr. Ganesh only looked one kind on me and start to nod hs head repeatedly. “I will send you to the lab, and please take a pregnancy test down there..oh ya btw, my medication wont make you feel fatigue..you supposed to be fresh all day!”..i was really shocked. A lot of things were in my mind when i made my way to the lab….i had mixed-feeling. In my heart i prayed so hard that the result will be POSITIVE!

After 20 mins, Dr.Ganesh called me in and as soon as he showed me the result, i was crying my heart out…Allah has answered my prayers. I quickly snapped a picture of the test result and send to daddy. Daddy was like “OMG, really?”.. WOOHOOOOOOOOO! and Alhamdulillah for the most precious gift for me and daddy. You are our precious gift darling!



My tiny bean,

Daddy and i waited for a week before we announce to family members that i am carrying you. The whole family was s00000 happy. You’re their second grandchild in both families. Tok and Tokwan started to share a few tips with me while nanny and dada really take care of me. I feel blessed, darling!

I had a very bad morning sickness. I vomited a lot and feel nausea 24/7. I lost my appetite and can only take a clear soup with rice. I cant stand fried food especially fried noodle. I lost 2kg and it’s not good since i have gastric and peptic ulcer. Juggling with these 3 is no jokes at all. I felt fatigue and sometimes get lightheaded, i had severe headache past 4pm and suffering from discomfort everynight. However, knowing that whatever i’ve been suffering is for the sake of my special new being, i feel really good..REALLY GOOD! I have treasured that moment with joy eventhough i complain to daddy sometimes… =)

It has been a long..long time since i last blogged. Betul kata pepatah..”hot2 chicken shit..” heheeh. but here i am..updating you guys on things surrounding me. And it just got better when the new mini notebook has came to offer its service!

It has been quite cold in the office lately, and it makes me feel more sleepy than usual. The workload is just nice..(i still manage to go back on time..thanks to both monkeys..u know i love you guys!). The only thing i dont like being in office is knowing the fact that i’ll be left by Jude Benjamin at the end of this month.

Jude has been with me for quite sometimes and he’s one of the best companions i ever had in office. Since Masni left, i’ve been spending my “free” and lunch time with Jude and Diana. But next month i’ll have less good friends in the office. Guys, why are you leaving me alone here??? *sob*sob*



Oh ya, i’ve just got to know the one who wrote a blog saying bad things about me has created another posting. I am not angry, it just a lil bit sad thinking about why is he acting like that? He used to be a good friend, a very patient guy who always listens to your problems and a helpful fella.

And he’s now a monster who always attacks my weakness and my personal life and relate them to what i have done to him before (rejecting him). Seriously, i have forgotten about what they did to me last time. For me, when you move on, there are some good memories you can carry along, and just leave the bad ones behind. But apparently, not for them….

Alhamdulillah, when things like these happened..the good things i have learned are:

1. I am stronger now.

2. I have a troop of trustable friends who can laugh and cry with me.

3. I realized that it is impossible that everybody likes/loves you no matter how nice you are..

4. I realized that some people are able to lie to their loved ones just because he/she does not want his/her tembelang pecah. (Clue: Or..they just inherited the cheating genes…???)

5. I learned that, making negative statements, attacks on other’s personal life is uneducated way of pulling a revenge. That shows you are a low-minded, uncivillized, retarded, coward and indeed a total moron. it reminds me on the debate between Dato Shabery Chik and Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim when SC attacks AI on his personal life…people lost their respect and calling him an idiot. (Clue: Isn’t jodoh a big Man up there’s job?)

6. I learned that when u comment on someone, please get a mirror and see the reflection of yourself. Are you in the best position to comment on others? Think deeply and answer the *toot* question. (Clue: I never know that wearing short sleeve is menutup aurat..teehee~)

7. Your good friend can be your worst enemy. (Clue: Especially when you rejected him too!!!!)

List is to be continued!

And, poooor my friend Lin, for having the same problem. Exactly the same problem..and the answer to this is just be strong and hang on to your loved ones. Dont care about what are these people talking because they dont feed you!!! Believe me….jealousy will eat their stinky heart out!!!!!

I have finally decided to release my first posting….

I’ve seen people blog for various reasons and i respect those who blog to generate income (maybe i would try to do that one day). But for me, i blog just to try new things and being called blogger does not make me proud…not at all. And i rather to stay that way forever.

Last week has been a hectic week. With Product Consultative Forum VI coming its way and Mercedes-Benz (M) Family Day next weekend, i can’t really breathe! At this time i just need an understanding hubby and thank to God..i got it! The thing the i regret is spending less time with Mr. Hubby. Hence, Saturday and Sunday i try my best to make time for him and guess what? We went for a date like we used to do before we got married…fine dining and late night movie! When i see a smile on Mr.Hubby’s face, i was convinced that we spent an absolute quality time together.

And today, i have started to sort out my wedding pictures..there are thousands of them need to be arranged in albums. Errghh…Mr. Hubby gladly delegated the task and hands-off those piccas leaving wifey alone sorting and choosing nice piccas for the albums. Oh, why?

We spent night at Ina and Dan’s place ( writing this posting from his huge PC) and enjoying Mudzaffar’s cry. This year, it was a double joy for me and Mr. Hubby as we are blessed with two nephews from Lina and Ina…(yet still waiting for our own pitter patter of little feet). It was a good training i should say..! Aemil Raess is 3months and Wan Putera Mudzaffar is not even a month. Boys, you are Aunty Nida’s golden stars!

7 Tomorrow work as usual. In the afternoon, I’ll be taking H1N1 jab..wish me luck!

Sweet dream readers!
