To-do list tomorrow...

Spoke to Reha and Wani this afternoon. Suddenly reality kicks in.
I need to get all these stuffs before the arrival of mini-me.




Btw I filled my time today by reading these interesting books. No doubt there are some obvious grammatical mistakes but the beautiful illustrations make up for it. Fyi, the multimedia book store at Masjid Kassim is having a nationwide discount (up to 50%) on all books from now till 6 June. Do check it out.

Rinduku, Rindumu

Swan duplicated! Told you Raudha, it can be done!
Can't wait to receive the pixs from Filzah.

Pre-Baby Photoshoot

Time is running out, the baby's gonna see the world anytime soon and I've made a (selfish) decision to just go ahead with the photoshoot despite my condition - knowing that I will live with regret for not "trying my luck". Forgive me baby, your mum's very naughty but she thinks of you every day and she wants to have the fondest memory of you inside her tummy, captured and frozen. Your dad wasn't keen on the idea, you know. But he made an effort to gel his hair and wear proper shoes (yikes!).

The photoshoot was simple yet fun. Good company. Gorgeous pixs. Beautiful place. All thanks to these lovely ladies, Filzah (the photographer) and Raudha (the art director) for helping me out with the impromptu photoshoot :)




Can't thank you enough, babes.
It means so much to me :)

Kosong

Kosong dalam kekosongan
Kosong dalam kerinduan

What telah happened?

I've been wanting to take pre-baby pixs for the longest time but I never had the time. Now that I have all the time in the world (at home, rotting, waiting for baby to come out), I can barely last 10 mins of walking, what more vigorous activities.

How like that? :(

Baby Talk

I don't know whether I should feel excited, scared, nervous or all of the above. With a baby in tow, I know life will never be the same again - changing diapers, attending to her needs, making her sleep, help her burp etc.

My gynae predicted that I will pop earlier than expected. Thing is he'll be on hols from 1-6 June. Should anything happen within this period (touch wood!), Dr Tony Tan (not to be confused with the famed minister) will come to my rescue. Yeah, the handsome man below with the red bow. Huhu.

Jika langit mampu berbicara

Jika langit mampu berbicara
Apakah yang mahu engkau dengar?
Dunia dimamah usia
Bahang cuaca penyakit haba
Raja Siam turun takhta
Pending Sultan ditebus harta
Gempa meletus tsunami tiba
Yang indah-indah sahaja?
Atau yang indah khabar dari rupa?

Sang Singa Purba's Sinopsis II

I'm happy when I'm with them.
Good job, juniors!

Cold calls

I don't believe in dolls, Barbies especially. I never own one in the first place. It's only when I turned 16, I got curious and appreciate "girly stuffs" such as beauty products, shoes and clothes that compliment me. I don't worship brands even though I go "ohhs" and "aahs" over them. Guess you would know your limit if you know you won't be able to afford them.

I don't know why I'm blogging this but I find people are getting materialistic and "plastic" in a way. To the credit card agents who never fail to get in touch with me and explain the benefits of having one, thank you. But please stop calling me as if I owe you $$$. I'm not free to entertain your calls anymore. I am sick and tired of hearing the same thing, again and again. And when I say "I'm not interested", I really mean it. I don't expect some wishy-washy "when is the convenient time for me to call you back" reply.

That's just plain rude, friend.
Move on to other prospective clients.

Pregnant & confused

Sometimes I’m beginning to wonder if it is my fault – that I actually gave the correct date when I first missed my period. Baby wants out but doctor says no. So I’m on pills now to stop the contractions from recurring.

I want nature to take its course. Baby is now 2.3kg – a healthy weight. I’m gaining additional 6kg, much to my delight, as colleagues keep on comparing my tummy with other pregnant colleagues, whose tummies are way bigger than mine. I’m sure I heard it right – doc reminded me again and again that I should eat for one, not two. I know of friends who put on 15kg-20kg. Yes, that’s a lot of weight. We all know it’s easier to gain than to lose. Glad I’m on the safe side.

Fazlan is now making changes to Baby’s second name. He wants the second name to follow the first letter of his first name “M”. Guess I have to start all over again.
