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
It's soooo freakin quiet in the office and it's gonna be like this for the next 3 wks!!.. urrrrgh!..... damn BORING leh!!.... ;( ev'one's gone to do their "NS"!.... i would be gone too if not for the babe... but thank god for the babe coz the place ain't pretty!... and there's no shopping!...

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
