We just found out how Dearest fare for his exams!... and al-hamdulillah, he passed all his papers with flying colours!!.. YAAAAHHOOOOO!!!!....... and there he was lamenting after every paper abt how not well he'd done and etc.. etc... i think he belongs to that kind of group - the smart ones who will complain and complain abt every paper knowing full well that they'd ace it!.. tsk.. tsk!.. hahahhaha.....

MAJOR SHOPPING SPREE!
we went on a "major shopping spree" yesterday!... i hope we made the right choice!... but i think we did!... hehehe.. it didn't take long for us to make the choice - 4days was all it took!.... insya-allah it'll all be worth it!... :) happy! happy! me!.... *Joy, i think u know oredi.. and u're the only one who knows!... keep it to urself first, yah!... ;)*

actually, it's oredi 22wks, going on 23!... time really do fly!!!..... tup! tup! next mth, we'll be receiving 4 babies!!... Yati, my cuzz's, Murni's and Izy's!.... all around the same time! oh my!..... how exciting!!!!.... :D it's gonna be babies galore next year!!!..... and how can they say that baby's not booming in S'pore??!.... hmmmm....

FALLING ASLEEP...
i'm literally falling asleep the whole of today!... been dozing off while doing some reading... and i juz can't seem to open my eyes until i pop in a few M&M minis!... and now at least half the tube is gone!!.... shit!.. i better curb my snacking rendevous siah!!... not hungry but keep munching!.. uurrrgghh!!!... ;(

anyways, yest, the girls - Fahma, Leen and Carolyn gave me a surprise bday "treat"... juz nice for tea time actually!.. hahahhaa.... thanks girls!!!... nevermind if it's belated!... it's the tot that counts!! ;)

and thank god it didn't rain last nite!!..... my cuzzin got her party underway as planned.. al-hamdulillah.. and boy!.. did she invite a LOT of her friends over!!!..... waaahahhahaa..... al-maklum.. they may not see each other as often since they're all graduating and prolly going to the different institutions and/or going their separate ways... aaaah... reminded me of my secondary school class-mates.. wonder wat happened to them eh??.... hmmmm....

but anyways, the food damn kick-ass nice!.... basically, i juz stuffed myself with satay and chicken wings!.... they're finger-licking goooooddd!!!..... speaking of it make me wanna eat some more now!.... damn!!.... pfft!... i ate till i was sooooo full last nite but this morning, i woke up, feeling sooooo hungry!.... alamak!.. how liddat?!....

THE SUN IS OUT!
yeay!.. the sun came out at last!... i'm soooo happy!!...i hope it stays this way for the sake of my cuzzin who's celebrating her bday today!... :) she's invited us to her bbq and soooooo i dun really wanna see her plans foiled!!.... happy 16yrs old Shahirah!! :D

anyways, yest was (to me), a successful make-up lesson day!.. yeay!.. manage to do my C-technique quite well, i must say.. hahaha...

this is the C technique.. u start from the tail of the eye and brush upwards at the eye socket.. then blend... it's to create deep sockets..

My model. pretty??... hehehe...

we also learnt how to do the hair.. very basic one... not glamour ones of course... and THAT gave me a hard time.. it doesn't help that i dun have enough time to complete the hair... wat u see on her is not done by me obviously!.. ahahaa....

but anyways, can practice somemore the coming weeks! :)

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY
It's been raining since yesterday!!... gosh!... and i had to take the cab today.. which cost me nearly $20!.. alamak!.... really cannot afford to take cabs in the later stage of my pregnancy lah!.. too expensive!!!... baaaahh!!...

anyways, we had a nice, "romantic" dinner at my favourite rest... 3 Monkeys!.. hehehee... the food was nice, ambience was cozy and the company is lovable!... *muacks!!*... love u dear!!!..... we were sooooo freakin full at the end of the day but had to wait out for the rain to stop...

we tot it'd stop.. but when we were walking towards the bike halfway, it started pouring cats and dogs AGAIN!!.... and sooooo we rushed to the nearby phone-booth where we cramped in for almost half an hr!.... very "romantic" hor?.... hahhahaa.... i was already pretty sleepy by then and soooooo we braved the "storm" and made our way home!... coz we sure ain't getting out of there anytime soon if we're thinking of waiting for the rain to stop!.... baaaaah!!....

to sum it up, my bday was a wet (but not wild!), romantic one..... ;) i'm happy to be with my Dearest.. and i think it's hujan berkat on my bday.... :)

today, i juz wish i was in bed, enjoying the warmth of my blanket!!.... brrrr.... it's such a nice weather to sleep in!.... there's nothing much to do around here... so yeah!... i'm freakin free!..... kwang.. kwang.. kwang...

ALL BECAUSE OF YOU..
Have you gotten hold of the CD yet??... i forgot that i wanted to blog abt it today till i went surfing to TaufikBatisah.net.. annnnddd.. they've got my fav song!!!..... *screams!*

Usah Lepaskan

Usah biarku bersendirian

Usah biar hatimu ditawan

Usah biar diriku disini

Seorang menunggu tanpa teman

Usah lepas genggaman tanganmu

Usah biar semua berlalu

Usah terlupa perasaan hati

Pertama kali kita bertemu

*click on the title of the song to get the video of the song he sang at IMM. Courtesy of TaufikBatisah.net!

Song composed by the man himself... lyrics by him and Imran Ajmain.. i fell in lurrrve with the song the moment i heard it!... i'm not too sure y!!... but the chorus serves as a reminder to my Dearest.... coz i don't ever wanna let him go and i dun ever want him to let me go!!.....

Back to review of the album - i lurve three quarter of the album.. coz the rest of the songs aren't my cup of tea... he wrote/composed/arranged most of the songs... and i can tell ya.. i really do feel for him... how come his love stories sooooo sad one??.... aiyoh!!....

but anyways, if his malay album is filled with songs like Usah Lepaskan, i'll die happy listening to his album!... hahahaha... :P ooooh... i can't freakin wait!!!.....

ONE YEAR WISER..

lurrrve that bump...

FRESHER & BETTER
With the MC that i got yest, i slept off my running nose and anger away before waking up, feeling fresher and much better... i decided to try out these 2 new recipes i got off a mag and the net...

Apple Crumble and Philadelphia 3-step Mini Cheesecake Baskets.. didn't take any pictures coz we dug into the apple crumble once it was ready to be eaten!... and by the time i remembered to take a picture of it, it looked kinda gross-like but definitely a tantalising treat! ;) and the cheesecake was sunken!!!..... urrrrgghh!!... soooo irritated!.. but very, very yummylicious!... hehehehe... anyways, recipes will stored in Multiply soon...

anyways, yesterday gave us yet another milestone... we tried talking to the lil' one.. we wanted him to kick/punch so that the Daddy can feel it move in me... and so, wat did the Daddy ask the lil' one?..... "When you come out later, u'll get to play PS2 with Papa!... want or not?" and lo and behold!.... he kicked and punched!!.... the Daddy went hysterical!... at last!!.. the lil' one acknowledges it's Daddy's voice!... hehehe... he might be a "gamer" for responding enthusiastically to that silly question posed by the Daddy... :(

we also manage to watch Amazing Race Asia last nite (since i didn't go to class!) and Singapore's out of the running of that $100,000 prize... bummer!... but nonetheless, u girls did good!!!...... :) i cannot, cannot stand that Sahran!.... he's scared of practically every lil' thing thrown at him!... urrrrghh!!!.... if u're such scaredy pussy, y the hell did u join the race in the first place?!... urrrrgghh!!..... i can betcha if one day they all have to jump from a tall building or something, i won't be surprise if he actually pee in his pants on national TV!.... urrrgghh!!....

ON MC..
Just been to the doc's... and can i request to give the doc a tight bitch-slap?... urrrrgghh!!.... he asked me questions with a straight face that screamed - "PUNCH ME!"...

when i answer, he nodded. wrote some notes. silent. ask question. answer. nodded. hear my lungs - front. back. wrote some notes. silent. all these while sitting on his ass and me having to move myself about, feeling uncomfortable!... baaaaah!..... wtf!...

the clinic's lucky that this doc is a replacement one... i dun think anyone would wanna go back to the clinic if he's the doc!...

oh!... and yesterday, was on the MRT to Woodlands after my check-up with my gynae... annnnddd this one Singaporean lady is also asking for a jab from me when she started pushing me while trying to get out of the MRT!.... like "Hello! Woman!... i'm going out too, rite?!" alamak!!!.... macam nak kena terajang betul sey!!.... such an impatient bitch!... so wat did this oredi irritated, pregnant woman do?... turned around, gave her my fiercest stare and grunted a loud "hmph!".... even Dearest got a shock when he heard that grunt!... hahaha... he was oblivious coz he was in front of me bull-dozing the way for us mah.... ;)

i was supposed to do the 3D scan of my babe yest... but, the doc said that the babe's not in the right position to do it... so.. haiiizzz... have to wait for another month.... and we found out that my placenta is pretty low... it's at the borderline and there's a slight chance that i may not be able to deliver normally... :( so now, i'm hoping and praying that the placenta will go up in the the nx few mths so that i've got a good chance of having a normal delivery!....

oh!... we have kinda settled on a name for the babe.. i wanted to start calling the babe by the name but Dearest, in his usual paranoid mode, is against it.. reason?... he's worried that the babe may not be a boy afterall!.... alamak!!.. the detailed scan should be more accurate than juz the normal scan rite??.... can someone pls tell him that!!!..... *exasperated!*

CROSSING THE CAUSEWAY??...
i was reading TODAY and read abt our Singaporeans who got kidnapped and robbed in JB recently... that made me all the more wary to go back to JB!!.....

ever since the incident that happened in March 2004, i dare not step into JB... even though i wasn't hurt in any way, that one incident alone scarred me.. i still cower or cringe everytime i hear a loud, screeching bike ride past us... in a car, in a group - yes.. i'd be more willing but if u ask me to go in juz the 2 of us or a few ppl in juz 1 car, hmmmm..... i'd be very, very half-hearted...

too many incidents, too many reports abt ppl robbed, parang-ed, killed, blah.. blah.. in JB... B juz told me that her mother's car's windows were smashed with a rock when her bro drove the car there!... they tried to take away the radio set.. but when they couldn't take it out, they left only with the outer casing of the radio.. like that also shiok?!... pantat!!!....

we've got an invitation during the X'mas holiday to JB - Dearest's relative... the family's been asking when me and Dearest would go down to visit... everytime i'd answer, "insya-allah" but i know deep down, it won't be anytime sooooon....

WHY DID I BOTHER???
urrrrgghh... i'm still sneezing after taking the panadol last nite... i tot it'd be alrite in the morning since i sweated buckets after popping the pill.. butttt noooo... i sneezed the first thing in the morning!... :'(

y the hell did i bother turning up for work today?!... gaaaahh!!!..... feeling shitty and disorientated... oh!.. not forgeting my wisdom tooth pain decide to come bacK!!... aaaggghhh!!!..... my left gum feeling as if someone's hammered me overnite and now, it's left that side of my face feeling numb but throbbing with pain... :(

btw, i forgot to mention yesterday that i dreamt of my lil' babe.... very cute!!.. round eyes, chubby cheeks and smiley!... :) butttt with straight hair!!!..... waaahhahaha... how can that be kan?!.... but i was pretty sure it's ours!...

hmmm.. tat image sure has put a smile to my face now... i think i should juz keep that image in mind so that i dun feel sooooo lousy... dam.. dee.. dam.... ;)

IT'S A BOY!!....
aaahhh... yes!.. it's confirmed... it's a boy lah!!..... we went for a detailed scanning which only took 20mins but got us HOURS of wait!!.... *boo!* and the lady who did the scanning didn't even ask if we wanted to find out the gender of the babe... juz blah and said "u know that it's a baby boy, don't you?" like "damn you!".. we dun really know that!.. and we dun really wanna know!... but since it's pretty obvious from the scan, wat the heck!... the impt thing is, e babe is healthy, weighing 383g at 21wks..

sooooo yeay!!... we're excited!..... :) soooo many boys this year!!..... the 3 mak yongs of the gang are expecting boys next year... can't believe it!!... hahahhaa... The Sury family have another boy (totalling 3 nephews) to it's 4th generation.. and my SP gang have another boy addition too!!.... - lil' Fauzi and lil' Adam have fwen to play with oredi! ;)

waiting for Thurs to see our babe's features... yeayness!!!....

oooooh..... speaking of yeayness, i finally cut 3-4 inchess off my long, tangled, curly, disorientated mane on Fri... happy sakan!.... after the cut, i have less tangled hair, feel free-er!.... annnnndddd, i also receive a surprise early bday present from my bro!....

this package awaited my return from the salon on Friday...

there was supposed to be a ribbon but i ripped it off as soon as i heard it was mine! kwang.. kwang.. kwang..

and wat was inside??.....

I'm all smiles!... ;) thanks Rizaaaaann!!!!!........

my first and prolly ONLY Coach bag i'll own!... unless of course, he's gonna give me a different Coach bag every bday!.. hahahaa... *yeah! rite!* brought it out the very next day to meet Ms Quirky (totally forgot to take pictures of and with her!.. too busy eating and gossiping!!) and also a nite out with the in-laws...

see that cute, tembam girl with me?... my favourite niece!.. y??... coz she reminded me of myself when i was young!... hahahaha... and that other cute girl?... another one of our nieces.. and i sooooo lurrrve her quirks!... hopefully, my babe will turn out juz like her - her friendly quirks and cuteness i mean!

OUR BUTTERFLY QUEEN
When i found out that a 16yr old girl won an unexpected Gold medal for us in the Asian Games, i was shocked and ecstatic!... i went "Sure or not?!".... like WOW!... she did??!... she beat the Chinese??..... amazing isn't it?

but of course, there'd be ppl like Dearest who'll go "but she's not a true-blue Singaporean.. wat's there to be proud of?"..... that may be true but the fact that she and a few other Foreign Sports Talents who were brought here and agreed to forsake their former citizenship to become Singapore citizens showed the sacrifice they'll make for Singapore, rite?...

to me, they're already a Singaporean and they're representing Singapore.. and you cannot deny the fact that the Chinese (i meant the China ppl) have a better sporting genes than most Asian countries.. if not, why else would it look like it's Asian China Games? They've dominated in practically every games they're competiting in!.. amazing!...

anyways, to all our athletes - CONGRATULATIONS to have made it to one of the 4 major Games.. double Congrats to those who have contributed to the medal tally.. ;) we have 2 Golds, 4 more Golds to outdo our last Asian Games... insya-allah we can make it - in the spirit of Team Singapore.

WAT'S IN A NAME?
We've been told, reminded, warned (?), that a child's name is very important. Wat with the Papa itself emphasizing the need to have a name that is "recognised" in Islam. I acknowledged that need but i also acknowledged the fact that as a girl, i'm prone to beautiful things - and that include names!..

and soooooo, i had went in search of beautiful names with beautiful meaning(s)... and last nite, we managed to agree on a girl's name... but we've yet to agree on a boy's name... waaahahhahaa.... i dun quite like the name that the Papa has chosen coz i juz felt that i couldn't quite "sync" it... On the other hand, he's oredi let me have my way with the girl's name and so, isn't it just right to let him have his way for a boy's name?.... hmmmm...... perhaps we should juz combine the names!!!..... kwang... kwang.. kwang... but we've decided that our child (or children in future) will only have a simple name for reasons:

1. we can all call him/her by his/her full name. No short-forms. No calling by first names
2. the grandparents and great-grandmother can remember the name easily.
3. the child don't have to "struggle" writing down their names during class, exams or filling out an application form!...
4. and it'll make it easier for parties involved to pronounce their names during akad nikah (solemnisation).. hehehe..

No offence to anyone... this is juz what we want for our child.. hmmm... and so, the dilemma continues.... but luckily, we've still got a bit of time before we know for sure what the gender of the babe is and we've got abt 4 more mths to go before it pops out! ;)

THE C-TECHNIQUE

Yeay!!... i got it right yesterday!... ;) it was a bummer standing the whole time in class last nite but it was all well worth it coz i manage to at least pass my C-Technique!... hahaha.. :D

The trick to this technique is to colour the socket area outwards.. i can't really theorise it further but wat u see is close enuff to that of the supposed C-Technique lah... :)

And as u may have guessed, it's a different model this time... this is how she looks after the make-over... she lurrrrve to take out all her make-up after every class... luckily she dun have time to do that yesterday!... coz i think it'd be such a waste to take it off!!......

We also learnt to do taping of the eye-lid...it looked easy enuff.. but i doubt that when the time comes for me to actually do the taping myself, errrrm...... hopefully, i can get it right then!!!.....

Btw, have heard Hady's album and as expected, i prefer his live rendition of the songs... buuutttt, there's also 1 song that i think everybody should listen to.. it's his own song - Merpati (Dove) - it's in Malay though... i love it!!! ;) i'm still waiting for the day i go to CD-Rama to get my hands on Taufik's latest album!.. urrrgh!!!....... y the hell do they sell it exclusively there?!... bacin sungguh!!.... sooooo tak accessible!... :( oh!.. in case u've not gotten hold of Manja mag (Dec issue), with Taufik in front cover, i juz wanna say he look sooooo damn yummylicious in his shoot!..... muuaaahhhhahahhaa.....

REALITY CHECK!
It's yeayness that the bitches in Amazing Race 10 is finally OUT of the competition!! ;) waaahahahaa.... been wanting them to be OUT soooo early in the competition coz they were tooooo bitchy - a real beauty queen trademark i must say!!....

who do i hope would win the million bucks?... anyone but the sistas!.... they're another set of bitchy queens but more subtle... or actually, only one of them is... u'd know who if u watch the show!...

i do have a fav bet the 2 hunks and the couple.. but i dun wanna jinx it!!!.... i do hope my fav would win!!! :D

Amazing Race Asia is also pretty exciting esp the last episode in Australia!!... unexpected twists of fate.. butttt... i still dun like Allan Wu hosting the show!!... DULL! DULL! DULL!!!!....... *bleagh!* can they get someone more exciting, plsssss....... rooting for Melody and friend!!..... go Singapore!!!!!! been doing pretty well the last leg... yeayness!!!!

oh!.. and the Asians in Survivor are also doing pretty well!!!.... GOOOOO ASIANS!!..... they're all still in the island, surviving!!..... so i hope they all made it to the merge!

***********

Was informed of a rather disturbing news this morning... couldn't believe wat i heard... am pretty disappointed that things turned out the way it did... but i guess no one can really judge nor comment since no one can really say wat happenned behind closed doors.. :(

***********

the pregnancy has taken a new direction.. it's been wetness yesterday!... wanted to pee every 5mins!!.... gdness!!... luckily it stopped after half an hr!... probably no more water to pee out!... baaaah!!!......

oh!... and i've come to a realisation that i am, afterall a pampered bitch!... kwang.. kwang.. kwang.. i simply cannot stand the tot of having to take the public transport to work every morning at rush hour!... :'( how do ppl do it eh??.... taking the public transport with ev'one "falling asleep" in the train or bus when u're pregnant, standing?!... uuuweeeekk!!!....... i guess i shall juz have to take the bike till the very, very last moment when my body or my babe (or prolly the bike too!) say NOOOOOOOO!!!!.......

see, we did our own reality check and it's not feasible to get our own car now... wat with the babe and the house coming together at abt the same time... it's time to toughen myself up... but hmmmm.... we'll see if i falter later... :(

WAT'S HAPPENING?
the company's internet system was not working over the weekend and sooooo, baaaah... no updates!!!..... :( on Friday, i wanted to tell everyone that i have reached yet another milestone in my pregnancy... i can't put on my wedding ring anymore!!!.... :( very the sad!!......

couldn't believe the day has come... my already stubby fingers got stubbi-er (if there's ever such a word!) my fingers will definitely shrink after delivery rite??... rite??.. rite??... hmmm..... *i hope so!*.. can't afford to have chubbier, stubbier fingers!...

Over the weekend, i tried a new cupcake recipe.. and yeay!.. yeay!... it tasted nice except for the fact that you can bite into chunks of lemon rind!!.. coz lazy me, didn't grate it!.. kwang. kwang.. kwang... will definitely try it again...

for this recipe, click here..

and then yesterday, had my much awaited shopping session with Dearest.. only that i didn't manage to shop for things that i really need!!... *wat's really new?!* but i did quite shop till i drop!... hahahha.....

we went to Vivo City to experience to mega-shopping experience... first feel when we stepped into the mall, it felt like i was KLCC... but after doing the rounds, it's not a big a shopping centre as i had envisioned it to be - wat with everyone saying that it's huge and it takes a while to actually go from one shop to another...

but i do lurve it's transformation!!.... it reminded us of the time when we were still dating.. studying there with our friends, "romancing" by the bay looking over Sentosa.. waaahhaha....

and we watched this group of peeps playing some instruments... and we were quite intrigued with these girls who were playing some strings that were hung from the top of the mall to their one wooden instrument...

see how the 2 ladies have their hands up in the air??... they were tugging or wateva u call it on the strings... we couldn't really make out the sound from the strings though... but it was interesting!...

at the end of the day, I had fun shopping with him.. he had fun seeing me walk till i drop.. but ultimately, WE had fun spending the time with each other after the past stressful exam weeks!..

The C-Technique
Yesterday we learnt the so-called C-Technique.. and booooy!!!...... was it dammmn difficult!!.... i know for sure Rosma had a difficult time getting it rite!.. and she STILL couldn't get it rite at the end of the day!.... so much so that she couldn't do anything rite after that horrible ordeal!... and my eyes hurt after all the tenye she did on me!... :'(

soooo today, i tried to do it on myself and yeah!!!.. it was kick-ass difficult lor!!!... aiyoh!!!..... took pictures of myself and hmmmm.... don't u think it looks like how we normally do it?? but i do lurrrrve the colour though!.. i think yellow is my new favourite eye-shadow colour now!!....lurrrve it's freshness!....

since i lurrrve my "new look" today, i might juz cam-whore with Dearest tonite!... ;) *can't wait for our date tonite, darl!....* oh!... and speaking of cam-whoring, was chided by Ms Sinus that my blog is boring-er now coz it has not much pictures oredi!... and like i told her, the cam's still alive and working. It's juz me who's not in the mood.. coz apart from my pregnancy and make-up lessons, nothing seemed to be abuzz anymore!.... kwang... kwang..kwang..

and Ms Sinus is gonna be on a mission soon.. i'll help her out a bit here and there.. won't reveal wat that mission is till she actually start working on it!.. but i can't WAIT for it to happen though!.... ;)

When no one's around, suddenly, there's sooooo many unwanted calls, queries and matters to attend to URGENTLY!... if it's NOT an urgent matter, i wouldn't have minded one bit!.... freaks!

TOUCHED BUT EMBARASSED..
Now, i understand what Joy experienced when someone recognised that you're pregnant and wanna give you his/her seat! Only this time, this kind soul is also standing!!...

see, i was on way to work on the MRT and as usual, had to stand lah.. ppl all "sleeping" mah... i was standing behind this nyonya and then suddenly 1 man and 1 woman started rushing and pushing us.. i definitely got irritated.. and the nyonya in front of me got irritated too and kept turning back to look at the 2 idiots.. the woman who pushed me stood rite in front of me with her bag pointed very near my tummy!... that kind nyonya saw my bloated tummy and told the woman to be careful coz i'm pregnant and then asked me if i wanted a seat.. i was soooo touched at that moment but of course declined lah...

and then, she did the unthinkable!.. she asked this man who was sitting to stand up to give me a seat!... kwang.. kwang.. kwang... i think i was flushed and flustered... ppl were staring and looking at the slight commotion... i quickly said thank you and sat down.. and then, the nyonya told me in quite a loud voice - "next time must open mouth. Ppl all 'sleeping'!" - in a sarcastic kind of voice!.... waaaah!... nyonya very daring lor... i'm ever sooooo grateful to this kind nyonya but at the same time embarassed coz it's not that i minded standing...

the moral of the story is, there are still kind souls out there who'd give up their seat or are willing to stand up for the "needy".. but of course, there are even MORE "action sleeping, action dunno" ppl who are unwilling to give up their seat to the more "needy" ones.. and then, there would also be a few extremely selfish ones who snatches your seat, that was given to you by a kind soul who ought be be given a tight, bitch-slap... so, ask yourself - "which one are you?"

HALF-DAY RAMBLINGS

BRIDES WANNABES..

Most of us are already brides once.. but we'd lurrrve to be a bride again!! thank you very much! ;)

Anyways, yesterday marked the first lesson on bridal make-up annnndd.. who else if not the berangan Rosma to be the "bride" for me to work on....

It was very fun indeed pretending to be a mak andam.. only matter is, the colour couldn't turn out the way we'd like it to be!... baaaah!... how do mak andams have that bright, thick eye colour thingie on us eh??... hmmm.... but overall, i think i did a good job, if i may say so myself!.. hahaha...

the teacher said that my application was flawless.. but of course, there's room for improvements like her eye-brows, the colour, blah.. blah.. oh!.. dun u lurve her nose now?!... can see got mancung (read: pointed & more defined) a bit more now??... hehehee....

TIPS! TIPS! TIPS!

For brides, highlight the nose bridge, chin, forehead and under the eyes. Shade the sides of nose from the eye-brow to the end of the nose..

When crimping the lashes, get bride to look down, lift up her eyes a bit with your thumb and start crimping gently, count to 3, lift, crimp again and repeat a few times at the same spot. For a more natural looking curl, start crimping at the base of the lashes, lift, crimp the mid section, lift and lastly to the end of the lash..

Yesterday was my first ever crimp on someone and boy!.. it was such a marvelous feeling lah!! ;) al-maklum, the whole family has natural curls oredi mah.. hehhehe...

Before i end of this entry, these were the brides wannabes of the nite last nite! ... :D

YAHOO!!....
it must be the babe's rezeki... year-end bonus is much more than wat we normally get in previous years!... al-hamdulillah... and soooo.. yeah!... i'm already dreaming of getting a new hp for myself as a bday prezzie and prolly Dearest as well (an early bday gift coz next year, on his bday, will be on "pantang"! :p)

then, i'll save the rest.. or maybe take advantage of the X'mas sale and wat not have yous and get the babe's stuff.. hmmm..... feeelnyeeee.... tak sabar sey!!.. hahahaha.... ;)

on a downer side of the morning, i'm confused!... so is the AMO Complete Multipurpose Solution safe for use in Singapore or not?!.... they said they're taking it off the shelves in Japan and China (?) or somewhere.. but then, they mentioned something like in Singapore, they are considered safe and drah.. drah... soooo ermmm... safe or not??..... if anyone knows, pls enlighten me!!..... thanks!!....

INTRODUCING..
Us and the make-up artists wannabes... ;) but they're not just wannabes, they do really got talent in them leh...

Yani did the nite look for Rosma while Ira (another mak buyong, like moi) did me.. Personally, i won't dare use the colours she used on me... but it turned out A-OK under a dimmer, orange light - very suitable for nite.. i loike... :)

and errrmm.. rosma, next time take my picture take from above a bit ok... so i dun look sooo huge and fat in photos!.. hahahhaa... :D

*******

In all the excitement of my pregnancy and make-up lessons, etc.. etc.. that's been happening in my life, i have totally forgotten to bitch abt stuffs that is happening in my oh-not-so-perfect-life..

First up, i would like to introduce you to a boss that is a total arse, a complete control freak and one who knows how to taiji work so that others get the blames when something goes wrong but it* gets the glory when something goes well!.... urrrrgh!... luckily it* is not my boss coz i would definitely lose my mind if i ever have to work under it*!...

Then, i would also like to introduce you to one of my vendors, who's giving me a living hell!... one time she's saying this.. and the next, she's telling me another story!.... make up your mind!!.... i've already explained to you why this cannot be done and i tot it was already agreed!.. and now, u're telling me no such agreements made?!.... WTF?!....

Lastly, i've already introduced you to an ex-friend in one of my previous entries.. but let me re-introduce you to it* again coz latest revelation on this ex-friend is that it* dun seem to get it* in it's* head that all these started becoz of it*!.... like HALLOOOOO?!!!..... obviously YOU don't do any SELF-REFLECTION on your doings!... like i said before there's a thing called KARMA!... wat comes round goes round.. after all that's said and done, all i can say abt YOU and your big, fat bum is that you're SELFISH and CONCEITED!... look at yourself in the mirror and search your conscience. If you still think u're right, i dun blame your friends for leaving you one. by. one.

RAYA 06 CONCLUDED
Yesterday marked the conclusion of Raya 06.. Wat can i say??... i didn't really get to do much visiting this year due to the fact that Dearest have to prepare for his exams (and he's gotta pass them so that he can fully concentrate on the arrival of our babe next year!)..

Anyways, before we conclude our Raya 06, I (minus the hub! *sobs*) , manage to go do visiting with my Poly mates!.... yeay!.. and selenge me, left the cam in the office.. and sooooo... takde gambar lah ye!... :( sooooo bacin!!..... hopefully Ms IA get good shots of the 2 small boys meeting up!!... errr... for the first time, rite??.... yah... quite eventful, i must say!.. ahhahaa... ;)

oh!.. and Ms IA aka event organiser, pls help to organise Raya 07 also eh.. but unless of course if it's ur turn to errrmm, carry around "excess baggage" next year! ;) hehhehee..... but i'm telling ya... and i've already "warned" Dearest that next year is gonna be our Raya-sakan year!!.. i dun care, hor, Dear!!!...

********

Saw this article in the New Paper on Wife crying "Rape" by own husband.. i felt a bit disturbed by the news.. i may not understand what she's going through mentally.. but i do understand that sex is halal after marriage... which husband wouldn't want to have sex after marriage??.... shouldn't this be in your thoughts before you agreed to marry the guy?... sure, he said sex is not an issue before marriage coz he respect you.. but definitely sex will have to come one fine day??....

and now that you can be charged for having sex with your own wife against her will, the guys had better bring up this issue with your respective partners before you say "I Do"... you wouldn't wanna be slapped with a jail term for having sex with own wife, do you??...

and regretably, if that "rape" incident bear you a child, like in the case of the Wife (above), the innocent child became the victim coz the Mother simply refused to give him/her tender, love and care a Mother should give to a child coz she thinks that the child is not a product of love but dirty, filthy lust!.... i do pity the child above anything else.. so, plssss... before this happens, search your thoughts and seek help if necessary...

Sex (or i prefer Love-Making Session) is not painful if you embrace it with open arms.. It's supposed to be a wonderful feeling, sharing yourself with the man you love..

I hope this does not offend anyone out there.. it's simply my thoughts on this issue coz in the end, everybody lose.. even that innocent child..

CONSTIPATION
i'm having constipation.. i think it's been nearly a week since i last shitted!... god!!.... the first 4 mths was bliss - having shitted practically every other day... i tried eating fruits, having yoghurt, forced myself to drink plain water (mineral water considered rite??), eat vege, wat else??..... baaaahh!!... i'm having a bit of a stomach discomfort and my fart stinks big time!!.... :( how ah??!!!.... i really dun want another episode of PILES!!!...... too painful!!....

*apologies for the shitty first para!*

anyways, yesterday in class, we did each others' faces.. and here's the result..

couldn't finish Rosma on time coz i had to pass my nite make-up first.. so that took quite a bit of time.. but Rosma did me pretty well, i must say!! ;) good job, girl!....

Tips anyone??....

Blusher - for a younger, youthful look, brush the colour on the apple of your cheekbones only. If your face is round like mind, brush the colour from the apple of your cheekbones all the way up to the corner of your forehead.. not so much colour on the cheekbones pls...

Eye Colour - these colours are said to go well with each other and you wouldn't go wrong with these colours. First colour is the main colour, followed by the cornering colour:
1. light blue / sky blue + a lil bit of dark blue
2. yellow + brown / green
3. light brown + dark brown
i think there are other colours.. but i couldn't remember wat!... sorry ah..

Happy Trying!!... :)

HANDBAGS!
i received an email from one of my dearest girlfriends on handbags!... and boy!.. am i looking at my handbag differently now... :p

You see... handbags are with you wherever you go... from the office to public toilets to the floor of the car even! So have you actually ever wonder what's underneath that bag of yours??... A research was done to find out how much bacteria an average woman's handbag harbours... and errrr... results were SHOCKING!

HANDBAGS ARE SURPRISINGLY DIRTY!!

Microbiologist Amy Karen of Nelson Labs says nearly all of the handbags tested were not only high in bacteria, but high in harmful kinds of bacteria. Pseudomonas can cause eye infections, staphylococcus aurous can cause serious skin infections, and salmonella and e-coli found on the handbags could make people very sick.

In one sampling, four of five handbags tested positive for salmonella, and that's not the worst of it. "There is fecal contamination on the handbags," says Amy. Leather or vinyl handbags tended to be cleaner than cloth handbags, and lifestyle seemed to play a role.

People with kids tended to have dirtier handbags than those without, with one exception. The handbag of one single woman who frequented nightclubs had one of the worst contaminations of all.

So the moral of this story - your handbag won't kill you, but it does have the potential to make you very sick if you keep it on places where you eat. Use hooks to hang your handbag at home and in toilets, and don't put it on your desk, a restaurant table, or on your kitchen countertop.

Wash cloth handbags and use leather cleaner to clean the bott om of leather handbags.

- excerpt from an email circulation received on 16.11.06

So plsssss.... bear this in mind!!... now, when i think of it, yes... i do wonder where i've put my handbag(s) before.. luckily now, i hook them up at home instead of putting it on the floor!... feel like throwing all my bags now coz u never know how "dirty" they really are!.. hmmmm.... another calling for a shopping spree perhaps?!... hehhhee.... *evil laughter*

MORNING RAMBLING
Dearest cornered too early and his bike made a huge thump - hit a low ground and up again - i dunno how to describe it in words but the shock vibrated through my body and now, my back is freakin aching.. i've not checked if i bled.. but i think that's being a lil too dramatic.. hahaha... but anyways, my back is aching.. :(

as it is, i had an early morning heartburn i think... felt hot and flushed all of a sudden and somewhere near the diaphragm, it felt quesy annnndd...... hmmmm y can't i seem to describe stuff this morning??... anyways, it's a quesy, odd, not nice feeling around that region.. and i actually felt sick!... damn!!.....

yesterday, in class, i had a lousy, lousy, time doing my eye make-up... my day make-up looked like a mess.. and my nite make-up totally didn't work it for me!... i looked like a panda at the end of the day!... i got soooooooooo stressed and upset!!.... tomorrow, i need to do well so that i'd have the confidence to do it on others!.... baaaahh!!!.....

but on a more happy note, someone's been proposed to!... ;) Ms Quirky, wanna guess who??!!... hahhahaa..... anyways, the solitaire looked sooooo damn huge lor even though it's only 0.1carat bigger than mine!.. maybe coz she's got skinny fingers?.. hahahhaa.... but yeah!.. tat solitaire looked damn good and i'm jealous! jealous! jealous!.... good for u girl!!..... can't wait for that wedding invite next year!!.... ;)

BABY TALK
yes.. i'm bored!... waaahhahaa... and soooo.... i went through the net in search of possible names for the babe for a second round.... and i realised that names with E is not popular or not widely recognised (?) in Arabic language.. sungguh the sedih...

anyways, a lot of nice names to choose from but gotta overcome 1 obstacle - that 1 man who's damn choosy lor... aiyoh!!.. lahling.. ah.. lahling... y u sooooo susah one??.... hmmmm....

I also found this interesting fact:-

if you’re having going to have a little girl, her ovaries have already produced millions of primordial egg cells, which, within a few weeks, will develop into actual eggs!

bet you didn't know!!.... how mind-boggling!.. really!.. to think that us girls, develop our eggs in wk 15 since conception?!... gosh!!..... the work of God!!....

Us mommies are advised to sleep on our left at wk 17 as lying on our back can compress our pelvic veins, decreasing blood return to the lower half of the body... errrr... been sleeping on my right coz i dun wanna squeeze my heart.. but even then, i feel guilty coz i feel as if i'm squashing my lil' one to one side... am I crazy to think that way??... hmmm....

and i do have a question to experienced mommies - will our nipples and aerola be dark forever - after childbirth??... i sure do hope NOT!!... it's soooooo super NOT sexy!... a turn-off more so!.... scary siak!!!..... :(

oh!.. another ramble... i soooooo regretted using this pants today!!... :( i can feel my babe kicking me wildly more often and more distinct than other days.. must be coz the pants is tight!... baaaahh!!..... i need pants for work!!!..... this calls for.... MORE shopping!!..... *clasp hands in evil glee* hehehee..

NO MORE SWEET DRINKS?
Been warned not to take anymore sweet drinks or gassy ones from hereon... *wails!* but my baby can't take in plain water!!!!... believe me, i tried... it juz tastes Awful!! the only plain water i can drink is Ice Mountain.. but i certainly can't get myself to drink 1L of Ice Mountain a day??... hmmmm....

Was on MC yesterday coz of this stupid, nagging headache i had since Sunday!... :( well, actually, i could have simply cured it by taking a piece of Panadol.. buuuttt.... being paranoid abt taking any other pills except for the ones my gynae recommended, i didn't take any!!... but in the end, i pop one after getting a day's MC!!... hahhaaa..... i didn't know it was that damn easy to get an MC when pregnant!!... he actually wanted to give me 2days MC!... or even 3 if i had agreed.. but i decided to take only 1 lah!!.... no point abusing it mah... kwang.. kwang..

but anyways, the doc have cleared my blood tests... so i'm pretty safe - not diabetic or anything like that!... al-hamdulillah... but i guess, i'd still have to curb my sweet drinks intake!... *sobs*

another sob story... Dearest had given me a mental warning that after his exams, he's gonna drag me to exercise!!!.... *uuweeekkkk!!!!*..... he's gonna make me walk every evening with him.. but actually, on retrospect, he can't do that lah... he can't touch my Mondays coz tat's my reality TV day!.... Tues and Thurs are class days.. Sat and Sun are FREE days.. he's left with Wed and Fri only!.. hehehee... and if ppl date me out on either of those 2 days, i won't be free!!.. yeay!!... ahhahaha...... *shakes own head*...

oh!.. but i'm amazed leh!!... within a week, i lost 1 kg!!.... betul ke???.... i can't believe it!!... am i still "allowed" to lose weight at this time???... hmmmm.....

NOT-SO-GOOD NEWS..
I juz opened up my new, migrated blog when i suddenly had this sudeen urge to spill out my guts!... i can't believe i'm still puking!!.... baaaahh!!!..... luckily it's not those rough-like puke.. it came out smooth like water but i can see my breakfast in there as well!....

anyways, i do believe it's not my breakfast tat made me puke.. it must have got something to do with yesterday's dinner!.... Mummy cooked chicken curry look-and-taste-alike.. not too sure what new recipe was that!... but yeah!... i was friggin hungry after class and was looking forward to dinner.. but after the first bite into that chicken, i lost all appetite siah!.... :( but i continued eating lah.. hungry bah!... but i definitely feel nauseas!... kwang.. kwang..

another newsflash! - the dreaded has come.. news that i don't wish to receive was announced yesterday.... there's gonna be a change in our work portfolio.. not that i resent change but i really don't wish to do what they want us to do but i do have to thank god that the change will only take effect in mid-Dec, giving me abt wat? 4mths to explore the possibility of staying on in this job or prolly start looking into recruit after delivery!..

annnnddd... yesterday, during class, we had to do night make-up on ourselves annnndddd..... both me and Rosma didn't fair very well!!.... sungguh menghampakan!.. :( tat's y, no pictures today... kwang.. kwang... i'm thinking.. if i can't do it on myself, how can i do it on others eh??... hmmmm....

Anyways, another make-up tip for you..

To shade your eye-brow, always shade very lightly at the front and very dark at the end. You can never go wrong this way!... One of the most common mistake ppl make is to have 2 pointed ends (the one that look like u juz draw a curved line abv your eyes).. too bad i don't have a good illustration to "demo".. but i hope u got wat i'm trying to say abv! ;)

OUR FIRST TEST..

We passed!! ;) it's juz a mini test to let us know if we did well in our personal make-up.. and lo and behold! we did!!.... with the knowledge in our hands and a lil, smelly fart from ... (not me ah! hehehe...), we did well in our first test - considering how strict and stingy she was in giving marks!...

u can copy our day look - my eye-shadow was yellow and brown. Rosma' s was pink and violet.. and in case you're wondering - yes! i did photoshoped our faces - no pimples, no eye-bags - coz Tee tot that it's such a waste of our gorgeous make-up!... waaahahhaa... but NO!.. i did not make my eyes bigger or my face longer! - that's the work of shading and the angle i took!.. ;)

After colouring our own faces, we're asked to colour each other.. but we only had time to colour 1 person so i did Rosma first.. she'll do me next week.. and i passed again!!... except that my blending wasn't tat good.. need to improve on that!.. but other than that, i think she looked great!... ;) rosma, wat say u??..... hahhahaa....

this one not photoshoped.. coz i wanna capture the "true essence" of my make-up skill!.. hahahaa... like real!... but niways, i do like the outcome!! ;)

More make-up Tips?...

1. Using hot water to wash ur face will only open up ur pores.. but it does not mean, using cold water will shrink it, hor!... use lukewarm water when cleansing ur face..

2. The point of shading your face is to make your face look slimmer. You need to achieve an oval look. So, shade areas on sides of faces with a brown colour eye-shadow or powder that is "out of the "oval shape"..

MILESTONES..
It's first kick was in the MRT at abt 5.30pm on Fri, 3 Nov... was sitting down when i felt a bubbly, ticklish feeling at the abdomen... and everytime that happened, i felt uncomfortable but at the same time, i wanted to laff coz of that ticklish feeling i get!.. hahaha... ;)

initially, i didn't know wat it was.. thinking my stomach was juz doing farny, weird stuff to me!... but it happened a few times over the weekend and i confirmed it with Rosma and the doc yesterday!... yeay!!... told mummy too and she said that it happened very early for me coz she only felt me kicking when she was 6mths pregnant!... alamak!... i such a late bloomer siah!... (or juz plain ol' lazy me! hehhee...)

Before the doc's appt, me and Rosma went shopping!.. or rather, I went shopping while Rosma accompanied me!.. hahhaa... and i soooooo lurrrrve the feeling of not going to work.. away from work responsibilities and problems!!.... baaaah!!.....

it's 10.22cm oredi..

So that's our babe at 16wks... the due date has been postponed to 22 Apr instead of 20 Apr but somehow, i'd like to think that the babe will wanna pop out on the 20th coz i'd prefer an Aries babe than a semi-Aries cum Tauras babe!.. hehehehe...

but anyways, when scanned, it's hands and legs were up in the air.. occasionally, it bumped around as if on an imaginary trampoline!... how cute!!... it actually brought a tear to my eye!.. ahhahaa.... oooooh!!!... and the doc guessed the gender!.... it's not so clear yet.. so i'll not release the gender as yet till it's confirmed.. yah.. in case some of u may be wondering - we didn't wanna know the gender of the babe.. but the doc seemed adamant to tell us... we do wonder y!... so we told him that if in any case, the babe wants us to know, and he can confirm the gender, then tell us.. if not, we can juz be surprised later!.. ;)

oh!... and i'm sooooo blardy excited!!... coz the doc said that he'll give us a 4-D scan of the babe in due course.. prolly after the detailed scan... so hopefully, he stick to his promise and let us see the babe's face in advance!!.... i soooooo can't freakin wait!!!!.....

but on a not-so-happy news... i gained 3kg in 3wks!!!... oh my goodness!!!.... i need to watch it!!! :(

SOME MAKE-UP TIPS..
I tot i'd share some make-up tips for all... and it'll serve as a revision for me too!.. hehehe... ;) did you know that u can use ur fingers to put on eye-shadow??... yes you can!! it's actually easier to slap on the colour than wat your brush can do! esp the contouring!!.. it helps blending the colours easier too! ;)

For day make-up, u need a max of 3 colours only - base, main and contour.. Base colour must always be - white, beige, yellow.. you must look fresh so make sure that when u slap on that colour, the colour don't fall under your eyes - it'll make your eyes look droopy..

One of the infamous make-up flaw is to have 2 distinctive colours on ur eyes.. everything must blend.. u have to make sure that the colours look as if they're one and not 2 or 3 different colours... ;)

so wat did we learn yesterday??..... the nite look!!!.... weeeee!!!.......

i finally learnt how to use the black eye-shadow!!... yeay! yeay!.... i need to practice using it... wondering if i should try using it during my hari raya outing this weekend??... hmmm.... takut nanti too gothic plak eh?!... hehehhee.....

before i sign off, nie gambar kiter lagi.. hahahhaa....

sesungguhnye aku dah put on A LOT OF weight... dan sesungguhnye si minah sebelah aku tu very the mentel!... :D

WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND..

Y is it that ppl are asking other ppl abt me and my "lil secret" when all they have to do is ask me straight in the face abt my growing tummy?... so today, i braved myself, using a maternity top to work - blatantly screaming (silently) - I'm PREGNANT!... so plsssss... ask me if u want to... dun ask my frenz anymore!....

Y is it that you'd wanna squeeze your fat self, on a 2-seater (in an MRT) with another fat one??.. see, i dun mean to be rude and i certainly don't have anything against fat women/men!... i am FAT myself... but if you're bigger than me, and i'm already taking up a full seat, don't you think that you'll be squashing me if you're to sit next to me on that cozy 2-seat??.... and yes.. i was practically squashed yesterday.. i couldn't breathe.. coz my breast was clumped together.. i had to sit out for air and i had to hold on to the railing to push myself up.. it's that cozy!!!.... and i'm not exaggerating!!...

Y is it that i've darken and my T-zone is more oilier than before??... now, i have to blot my nose at least 3 times a day.. has it got to do with my changing hormones or wat??.... but it sure is weird looking in the mirror at my darker, oilier, self!!.... :(

Y is it that i can't seem to talk to my babe even when no one's around?... i feel weird talking to my tummy.. i tried once. i was practically whispering!.. and it's worrying me coz i dun want my babe to NOT know it's mummy!... i'm thinking of buying story books to read out to the babe.. well.. that's a start right??... or wat do you experienced mothers suggest i do??..... plsssss heelllppp...... thank you very much!

THE EYES..
We had fun in last nite's class.. we had to colour ourselves for day make-up.. and we were taught the blending technique..

i sooooo regretted using blue but heck... over and done with.. and thank god Dearest came to fetch me too!.. if not, i would have taken the cab home instead... next lesson, concious effort to use black!! ;)

our silly selves with eyes made up...

oh!... and why is it that ppl juz lurrrrve to rush in and out, banging others along the way in the MRT??... i simply could not understand this weird behaviour!!!.... as if, in the mornings, if you bang others, u'd get a seat immediately!... oh freaks!....

there was this nyonya who did juz that... trying to squeeze in front of me with her big bag.. and that blardy bag is oredi hitting my tummy!... blardy nyonya!!... i know i dun look pregnant yet.. but i'm still a person!... hitting or banging someone intentionally or not, is totally unacceptable!... baaaahhh!!!...... :p

HALF-DAY RAMBLINGS
Firstly, congrats to Dearest for passing that dreaded 2.4km!!..... gonna get his hands on those moolahs.. comes in handy when we wanna pay for the gynae package for the lil' one next week! yippee!!! ;)

Tee kept commenting how my tummy's protuding and showing now... like of course lah!... duuuh!!!...... but i'm still using my normal working clothes.. though i think i have to go for a shopping spree soon for pants!!.... even my hipster can't fit, it seems!... i have to leave the button opened for comfort sake!...

hmmmm....... tot of waiting for the Dorothy Perkins sale but i doubt i can wait that long!! but if anyone got lobang as to when's the sale is coming, do holler!! ;) gosh!... stomach's rumbling now... need food.... yum! yum!!... heading towards my fav popiah shop!!! have a nice lunch break y'all!! :D

ALL ALONE..
Semboyan telah berbunyi... Dearest's been called for "service", leaving me all alone the next 3 days.. *BOO!*... :( not too sure if he can come back every day or not... but howell... it's only 3 days... gonna miss him like crazee!!... esp our morning rides to work....

took the MRT today.. and boy!... now that i'm pregnant, my sense of smell is more acute than ever!... smelling all sorts of stuffs - pleasant and unpleasant inclusive!... damn it!.. thank god i didn't puke!... would certainly have if i'd have taken something in the morning!!...

oh!.. speaking of puking, i won't ever take curry until further notice... reason?!... i puked out my morning breakfast - maggie curry - yesterday! the last time i vomitted out my breakfast was on my last day of fasting.. and that morning, i had curry too for sahur!... now, wat a coincidence!!.... so no more curry until it's proven that curry's not the culprit!.... gaaaaahh!!!......

anyways, for now, i'm freeeee for the next 3 days... good luck to my dearest on his IPPT.. hope u'll bring in that $200 moolahs, yah!.. hehehhe... even if you don't i'll still love u, dear!! ;) *MUAAAACCKKSS!!*..

CAMAT HARI RAYA!
today's the last day of Ramadhan and i missed fasting today!... coz my morning sickness came and it was the most disgusting, dreadful, awful morning sickness ever!.... i vomitted out whatever i ate in the morning and stood in front of the sink for 10 mins, vomitting my guts out!... damn it!!.... i can still feel the vomit in my throat rite now!... bleagh!!...

been getting this morning sickness pretty regularly now... to look at the bright side, quoted by the doc himself, the worse off ur morning sickness and nausea, the healthier the baby... tat's wat i would like to think my baby would be... HEALTHY!... insya-allah...

this year, semangat berbaking berkobar2 betul!... my mom's pineapple tarts are freakin delicious!!.... i lapis (layered) like 4 kek lapis in 1 morning and baked my cookies at least 6 times for this year's hari raya!!... but my semangat to clean up our room sungguh tak semangat!!!... sungguh MALAS!!... soooo... here's my luuuurrrveeee to my dearest hubby...

*mmmmuuuaaaaaccckkssss!*

he's been the "cleaner" of our messy, dusty room this year!!... ;D he did ALL the cleaning minus the mopping coz mummy did that for us!.. hahaha.... but yeah!... the room is sparkling clean, tidy like bilik anak dara (even when i was a dara, not as clean as that!).. LOOOOVEEEE u my DARLING!!! thank u soooooo much!!!.... sesungguhnya i beruntung dapat suami macam you! ;) when mummy asked me wat i did for the room, i said - "i Supervised!".. hehehee.... nolah... actually hor, i cleared my "rubbish"!.... for heaven's sake!.. i got like tons of rubbbish!!.... kwang.. kwang.. kwang... oh!.. and hmmm.... i have to seek your forgiveness tomorrow, dear.... giving me the jitters!.. hahaha... can we do it via email/sms/phone/e-card instead??.. hhehehe...

Anyways, since tomorrow is Hari Raya, i would like to say....

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

To Kak Yani and Isyam, i heard of your lost. Very sorry to hear that.. he's in a better place now.. probably, reunited with his beloved wife.. be strong, yah...

Before i sign off... can i just say i'm sooooo freakin pissed coz i could have gotten a pair of tickets FREE to that Hype Concert if ONLY it wasn't on tomorrow!!!.... damn it!.... i'm sooooooooo sore rite now!!....

IT'S ALL ABT THE EYEBROWS
We learnt abt the eyebrows yesterday... how to shape our own eyebrows... and hmmm... must say it's damn difficult lor!!!..... i think everyone's a bit sceptical to shave off their own eyebrows coz hari raya is sooooo round the corner!!... hahaha....

but we all seemed to have made it through!.... everybody looked pretty with nicely-shaped eyebrows!! ;) i think it must be in everybody's minds - "no need to go do threading liao! sep duit!".. hahahhaa....

but niways, it is definitely easier to do on ur own eyebrows but the nerves will definitely get to you when u do someone else's!... i need to practise, practise, practise!!.... i wonder if my aunties and cuzzins will let me do theirs???..... *hint! hint!*

oooooh!... and we got our whole make-up kit yesterday!... we're like lil' girls - excited opening and fiddling with our new "toys"!.... too bad rosma, u're not there!!!... seronok u!!! ;)

THE STORY..
It all started with a popiah, 3mths ago... me and Dearest wanted to catch a movie and i told Dearest, let's have a popiah before the start of the show... and Dearest went *gasp!* "are u...?" with a happy, cheeky face... i went like "wat the ... !!!"

And then, wat do u know??..... a few wks later, i found out that i AM pregnant afterall!!!.... hehhehe... yes! peeps!... me - the one who was lamenting on whether we should start a family so soon, with no one to look after it, blah.. blah.. - is P.R.E.G.N.A.N.T!!!.....

CONFIRMED Pregnant!!

And that is the reason WHY i didn't go for my wisdom teeth surgery... and that is HOW i found out abt my pregnancy!... gaaaah!!..... i was actually 11days late!.. and i juz buat bodoh thinking that i was having my PMS all the while!!!.... yeah!.. my PMS, if u must know, has the exact symptoms to tat of a pregnant woman's!!

U guys dunno how much i wanted to shout out abt the news earlier.. but i tot i should wait till the babe's more stable... coz when we first went to see the gynae at supposedly 6-7wks, the gynae couldn't see the babe in the gestational sac... we were told to see him again a wk later to see how it was progressing and i'm telling ya, it was the longest 1wk wait ever!!!

but al-hamdulillah, 1wk later, we got to see our babe!!...

sooooo tiny!!... only 0.81cm!!....

imagine how happy we new parents-to-be to see this being formed and seeing the rapid heartbeat beating!!.... aaaah..... i couldn't believe that i was excited coz i was the one who's soooo sceptical of starting a family in the first place!....

so anyways, a wk after this, we found out that our friends are seeing a much more cheaper gynae than the one we're seeing in KK... after doing a bit of research, we decided to go with the SIL's gynae coz it's damn cheap lor!!.... fyi, u only gotta pay $550 from the first consultation to the last consultation - scans, medicine, consultation, inclusive!... u'll deliver at Thomson Medical Centre and pay for a 4-bedder rm but u get upgraded to a 2-bedder rm!! :)

and so, at 11wks, we went to see our new gynae who's pretty quirky, straight to the point and a play-safe one... coz he told us SEX is a no-no!... where got such thing one??!.... but niways, again, we got to see our babe...

it's 3.56cm now..

it's tripled in length now and the EDD's expected to be 20 Apr!... yeay!!... a day after my bro's bday, a week before the Daddy's bday!!... tat'll be my present to the both of them next year!.. ahhahhaa.... ;)

juz as i told my new gynae that i've had no morning sickness the past 2mths!... the dreadful morning sickness came the day after i see him!.... baaaah!!.... i juz tend to purge.. no vomit.. juz that awful nauseated feeling in the mornings rite up to lunch...

and then today, a milestone for me... i actually vomitted in the morning!!..... juz when the babe officially turned 12wks (after conception) today, it made me vomit!!!...... urgggh!... i hate vomitting coz as far as i remember, i've only vomitted twice so far!!..... this is the third!.... gaaaaahhh!!.....

howell... like the gynae said.. the more you vomit, the healthier the babe!.. ;) i dun really see the connection but wateva!.... i juz pray everyday for a healthy babe!!...

anyways, my last visit to the gynae 2days ago, the gynae wanted to check it's neck's strength or something... but the babe wouldn't cooperate coz it's in a weird position... but everything else, acc to the gynae looked OK... the babe looked stable oredi.. the heartbeat's pumping like nobody's business... al-hamdulillah....

it's 6.84cm now..

u see how the babe's end is up?... hmmm.... wonder wat it's doing??!!.... kwang.. kwang.. kwang.. anyways, one of the better news of the day is, i'm not really gaining weight!!... yeay!!!.... ;) i've only gained, at most 2kg over the past 3mths!.. yippee!!.... but must say lah... Rosma's question was intriguing - so where did all these babats come from eh?!... hahahhaha.... coz my tummy do look like one large tumour!!.... ;( the peeps in the office dun seem to notice (coz i'm still wearing my normal office wear), but i think they may have known oredi coz i got one lousy secret-keeper boss in the office!!.... baaaahh!!....

but niways, after today, if anyone asked if i AM afterall pregnant, and not juz plain fat, i'll juz answer with a smile and a yes!.. hahahha..... coz now, my babe's more stable and i'm ready to face the world with my growing, bloating, bod!....

BACK TO SCHOOL
ooooh yes!... at last!!!.... me and Rosma going back to school today... hopefully, it's not much theory and all practical!... coz i dun think i can stay much awake if it's juz yak, yak, yak!.... but thank god too tml moi on leave!... so can sleep in late!!!!... yippee!!!.....

oh!... and jade's still NOT out yet?!... blardy hell!... she was damn fake lor when she suddenly "cried" for no apparent reason!... alamak!.... she ought to get one tight slap and the title of the MOST hated reality TV bitch in history!...

hmmm..... i juz started work an hour ago... i still have abt 8 hrs more to go before the bell rings!!.... :( and i'm already starting to feel like shit!.....

RAMBLINGS..
oooh.. the office sooooo quiet today... the bosses aren't here.. the peeps busy doing their work.. well, i'm supposed to be busy too... but i dunch care!!..... i'll continue my busy mode after this..

anyways, whilst doing my work, i got very distracted.. by wat?!... my split ends!!!... oh goddd!!.... they're sooooo terrible coz they're everywhere!!.... it's like i can't not pick up a strand of hair and not see a split end!.... gaaaah!!... my hair's terribly weak.. it's terribly messy too!!.... :( it needs a boost!.... i need my hairdresser before the raya!!!....

oh!.. and since raya is here, i dunno whether i am looking forward to doing spring cleaning this year?... i guess it would be easier to do spring cleaning now... so that when we move out after raya, there's not really much to pack... hmmm... but i dun feel like spring cleaning.. but at the same time, i think i HAVE to coz there's not really much space in the cupboard now!.... :( and i know it's clogged with clothes that i have loooonggg not used!!.....

and my BAGS!!..... Dearest has specifically requested i throw my bags coz he dun really see me using my all my bags... and yes, i do agree that i now only have a few favourite bags that i'd wear to go out and to work.. but my reason to him is simple - wat if one day, i need a bag to go along with something?... and my favourite bags cannot suit my wear or something like that?... those extra bags served as a back-up mah!... there can never be too many bags for a girl, anyways!... ;) hmmmm.... but oklah... for his sake, i will throw away some bags that i think i will not use anymore and/or are spoilt!.... gaaaaahh!!!....

ooooh!.... it's been a while since mummy did her pineapple tarts!... she agreed to do them this year!... but someone's gotta parut the pineapples!.. hehehe... guess who?!.... got Dearest to do it!!.. i hope he do it coz i sure ain't gonna parut 10 pineapples!!... :D hmmm....

and yes.. i do notice that i'm rambling now... dun mind me yah.. ;) hohohoho....

IFTAR WITH DEAREST..
We had Swensen's for iftar last nite... and oh my gawd!!... wat a sumptuous, Sumptuous dinner it was!!!...... i had this Mega Burger, a new menu, and it really was damn Mega!!..... hahahhaa... HUGE!!!.... a LOT of stuffs in it.... juz see this!

picture courstesy of Swensen's website

doesn't tat look good!!!... damn!!..... i'm now salivating liao!.. hahahhaa... puasa... puasa..... sabar eh..... :) oh! btw, juz for Ramadan, Swensen's offering this deal - add $3 (i should think with every main dish), you get soup of the day, coffee/tea/soft drink and a Gold Rush sundae!.. GRRRREAT, greeeat deal juz for their Muslim frenz... ;)

after dinner, we went to geylang to source for our pair of baju for Hari Raya... and we met quite a number of ppl!!!..... waaaah!.. first time i get to see my frenz in Geylang!!.... everytime we go there, it seemed that Dearest only gets to see his frenz!!..... oh well!... perhaps, last nite, i was more observant to the surroundings!.... gaaah!!.....

oh!... and i bought this punjabi look alike suit... it was very pretty when we saw it... but when i tried it on at home, i DUN freakin look pretty in it!... DAMN!!!.. wat a waste!!... it IS pretty... maybe i'm not used to wearing a punjabi suit?!.... anyone wanna buy it????

and then this morning, i receive this card from good frenz who're far from sight, but near at heart.. Zaidah & hubby, Faris...

i was actually juz thinking of doing up my own e-card but really have NO time to do it!!!... baaaah!... but niways, hopefully, i'll get to do it soooon!!...... hmmmm....

NEED TO BREAK AWAY...
WOW!.. it's been that damn long since i last posted an entry!!.... :( damn it!.. been very busy at work... am still busy actually but fark it... i need to break away from doing my work and pour out my feelings!!!......

i was juz telling Dearest that i think my work performance is deteriorating... i found myself losing important documents, not thoroughly checking my work, preferring to do things at a slower pace than rushing my urgent work.. blah.. blah.... Dearest told me not to juz complain abt it but think of a solution... hmmmmm....

the problem is, i think i have NO more heart in my work oredi... how to solve that eh??.... seriously, i think i need a break from my job... i need to reevaluate what i wanna do in my life.. set my priorities and perhaps, break away from the mundane 9-5 job.. i am actually also considering doing part-time!.... haaaaiizzz... if only we can afford it!...

anyways, my bro's feeling extremely generous.. he told me that if i ever wanna open up my own baking business, he'd sponsor me!... buuuttt only for rental of the shop!.. baaaahh!!!.... :p oklah... at least, he's telling me that he have faith in my baking!!! hhahhaa.... anyways, hmmmm... i wish to do it from home coz tat'll mean less expenses and overheads.. but niways, i'm seriously considering his offer esp once he's gotten his full-blown pay!... hmmmm... and i really do pray hard that he gets to become what he aspire to be - A PILOT!.... insya-allah his dreams would be fulfilled. Amin...

anyways, it's less than 2wks away to Hari Raya!!.... oh mi gosh!!.... 2 wks of puasa oredi?!... how time flies!!!..... we still haven't really gotten our pair of baju for the raya yet!!!..... may have to do so over this weekend after the bakings!!.... gaaaah!!!...

LESSONS FROM TEENY WEENY
B, Teeny Weeny and myself attended a colleague's wedding dinner together last nite and boy!.. was it one of the most typical Chinese wedding dinner ever!.. but one of the most enriching experience too!!.... so here's a list of what i learnt from the event, courtesy of Teeny Weeny..

1. In a Cantonese wedding, whatever ang bao is given to the girl's side, the girl's parents would get all of them!... so, u should tell the person at the reception that you're the bride / groom's friend so that you will be directed to the right person to give the ang bao to.... but of course, this depends on the families lah.. but to play it safe, since our colleague - the groom - is a Cantonese, we salam him so that we're ensured that the ang bao goes rightfully, to him!.. :)

2. A typical Chinese wedding do NOT start on time.. i repeat. DO NOT start on time!... it was nearly a good hour's wait before the bride and groom made their entrance and we, being served our food... :( we intended to go late but coz we wished to be chauffered to the venue, we had to go earlier so that Daddy can get the car on time to go for his nightly prayers... kebulur aku!!....

3. A typical, traditional Chinese man would normally serve the parents (if they're there) or the girls first before serving themselves. That's the correct "upbringing"... acc to the self-proclaimed traditional Chinese man himself - Teeny Weeny.. hah!... we were sooooo overwhelmed by his gentleman-ness that we couldn't help gush our thanks to him!.... sooooo impressive leh!!... yah.. and i had to tell Dearest that he took care of us pretty well, i must say!! ;)

4. GREAT lesson learnt - always, always, ask the invitee if they're serving Muslim food.. i didn't ask.. i kept forgeting and also assumed that i'll be served, probably individually, if the table is not a Muslim table.. buuuttttt... it turns out that my table is NOT a Muslim table plus, the hotel do not serve guests individually!... alamak!!!.... however, i must, must commend the banquet staff for being very accommodating and spooning a portion of Muslim food from another table!!! :D well done!!!....

5. Ever wondered why in a Chinese wedding, the rice is served last??... well, acc to Teeny Weeny, this is to fill u up should the food served previously, didn't!... well.. it does make sense!!.. hahahha.... esp if you're in a table full of big-eaters!!! :D

WHINE!!!.....
i wanna whine my heart out!!!... i feel like quitting my job!!!!........ urrrrgh!!... i dunno y... but the lazy bones in me are overwhelming!!..... :(

I'm given this project which i personally think should've been my bud(-dy)'s project coz my bud did tis before and this is juz a continuation of what has already been done before by her!!.... so why is it given to me eh?!.... *sobs! sobs!*...

aiyah... all i know is, i dun have the "heart" to work here anymore!... i think u can throw me anything - any projects at all, and i'll still feel like shit coming to work everyday of the week!... *booooohooooo!*...

and then, there's talks of additional work and change in our jobscope somemore... i guess i should be happier since i'm always complaining i'm bored coz there's not really much work to be done! BUUUTTT... like i said, there's no "heart" anymore... plus it's not that i like that additional thing that we have to do!.... :(

but i know, after all these are said, I CAN'T quit my freakin job!!!!!...... urrrrgghhh!!!!!.... not yet anyways!.... do i need a holiday to freshen me self up?!.... i think i doooo....... *hint! hint!*

TIRED AND SLEEPY...
The fasting month is taking a toll on my body i think??... i'm feeling terribly, terribly tired and sleepy... all i think abt is SLEEEEPP once i step into the office.. the only time i'd feel a tad fresher is after lunch.. coz that's when i get my full 1hr power nap!...

the office being too quiet and with no one to talk to (except the occasional bitching sessions i have with my new buddy), is making me MORE sleepy... i can juz close my eyes now while typing this entry!... baaaaahh!!!..... :(

yesterday, me and Dearest went to Geylang to look see for our pair of baju kurung for our first Hari Raya as Husband and Wife.. annnnndd.... i can't freakin find anything i fancy!!... damn it!!.... and Geylang is also not as hyper / lively as i used to know it as... but it's probably because it's only the beginning... hmmm... but i definitely do need to get our baju before raya!!!...... and i dun wanna go there when it gets too crowded to even shop sanely!...

received an email from frenz today abt the new Uncle Hady Mirza... his first nephew, lil' Imran Mirza sooooo looked like him... hahhahaa.... Congrats, Hady!.. it's weird that Taufik also received a new family member, another niece (if i'm not wrong) abt the same time when he got crowned the Singapore Idol!...

CONGRATULATIONS!!...
My throat is already oh-so-soar from screaming the past 2 days!.. wat with the lack of water.. it's throbbing now!... *bleagh!*.. niways, my heart-felt congratulations to HADY MIRZA!!!.....

Wooohooo!!!..... he won! he won!...

it wasn't juz a small margin but a whopping 70% of the votes on his side!! (as reported by TODAY...) WOW!!.. never had i imagined!... his fans were overwhelming.. but apparently, no action leh!!...... kwang.. kwang.. kwang...

yesterday's opening of the show was GRRRRREAT!!... ;) Taufik came out looking all smart and suave with his song, I Dream, also accompanied by the 2 finalists... hmmm.... but Taufik really did outshine them lah... totally lurving his performances.. only disappointment, he only came out twice!.. urrrrghh!!.... i waaaannntt MOOORREE!!!...

anyways, nevermind.. important thing was, we had fun... Rahimah Rahim's rendition of that "I Love you, Baby" song was fantastic!!..... made me groove baybeh!!... ;) her voice is still deliciously nice considering her age... if only we were all standing, i think i'd be in a sweat, breaking out in a dance!!... it was that damn HOTTT!.. HOTT!!.. HOTTE.. performance!!... :D

oooooh!... i soooo enjoyed myself... now, i can't wait for that Robbie Williams concert!!!!..... hehehhe.... Ms Quirky, remember our date, hor!!... keep the tix for us!!.... :D
