Went for a hi-tea at the Legend Hotel today, complimentary from my mother-in-law... thanx ibu!! :) But environment wasn't so satisfying... too crowded, was given an outside table eventhough reservation says our table is inside... to top it all, the crowd was messy, rude, noisy... don't even know how to queue and takes food as if it's their last meal on earth... I understand they'd want to make their meal worth the money they spent, but isn't it a waste when u don't queue, u make ppl angry, and u rush like mad as if there isn't enough food around, when in the end u push a whole plate away coz u just realized u r not that hungry, just being greedy... Sigh...! I thot a weekend hi-tea is supposed to be a pleasant event, where everyone takes their time to chew their food knowing the food would be refilled for at least another 4-5 hours...

Trying hard to be smart...
I was at the service counter of one of the top department store in Malaysia, using the provided free wrapping service... another lady was already there along with a few companions, being as fussy as ever about the way her stuffs are being wrapped... don't mind that, that's her right to comment, eventhough I am already grateful that it's free and that the gift wrapper would be torn off anyway...! :P If I wanted it to be really nice, I'd just head straight to a fancy shop, with fancy boxes n ribbons available... free wrapping services are only for your convenience, not meant to look WOW!!
But I wasn't happy with an incident though... a man came and asked for some cigars, so the salesperson, which I found out later was new and most probably not a smoker, was searching for the specified brand and brought out a few to ask the guy whether she has got the right one... and THE lady who doesn't seem to be able to shut her mouth for even a sec went like "Why do you have to bring all out and ask ah??" AS IF that salesperson is interrupting with her gift-wrapping!! D-uh!! Even the guy who asked for the cigars gave a 'who r u' sideway glance at her, not very pleased with her attempt to be 'helpful' maybe... I understand some people maybe wants to adapt the 'straightforward-ness' and 'outspoken-ness' in their everyday life, but please-oh-please try to differentiate between being outspoken and being rude, and also whether the need is there to voice things out to the world... her mouth was alas shut when another salesperson explained annoyingly, but still very politely, that the girl is new and still learning... poor girl... for those of u who always felt you are so much 'high-up' compare to some people, try to respect each and everyone around u and u'll gain the respect u want... but of coz, if you do happen to walk into a designer boutique and gets those 'do these people have money?' kinda look from them, then that is where maybe some of them would need to be educated... hey, even if we don't have the money, we are still allowed to browse to check out the price eh? ;)

I am craving for Jacket Potato with Hot Brocolli and Cauliflower Cheese filling!! YUMMY!! Need to go get the ingredients tomorrow and fulfill my cravings FAST!! And I need to make myself mashed potatoes with brown gravy too... I don't want my baby to be salivating too much when he's born... (a superstition or not, I'll use that as an excuse to eat anyway... muahahahaha...!!) I'm sure Mama and ToMaToMaN would be happy to see me preparing a meal, coz Mama has been out of idea what to have for meals lately, and ToMaToMaN is not much of an eater too nowadays so something different would definitely get his appetite back... :P I think he's worried about getting a new job, or most probably about his weight...! Hihihi... don't worry dear, I don't like skinny men anyway, and we can always go on diet together after my confinement... okie??
My hospital appointment for tomorrow is cancelled coz Pak Teh is busy with something else... postponed to Monday, but I think I'll still take the day off tomorrow... Would be in the hospital for the whole day Monday so I hope the books I ordered from Nadd would arrive soon, or else, I'd have to go to MPH this weekend and stock up on a few books... the shopaholic series would be fun, but I've actually forgotten which I've read... :P Oh-well, can always checkout anything on the bestsellers rack... or maybe ToMaToMaN could go get some dvds and I can bring my notebook along... hehe... eventhough I've always preferred books to movies anyway ;) Okie... must remember to take my notebook home with me today then...
I missed my chat partner today...! My friend Toon already gave birth to a baby girl last nite which makes her 2 weeks earlier than her EDD... CONGRATULATIONS girl!! Maybe I'll squeeze in some time to visit you tomorrow okie? Should be out of the hospital by then rite? Makes me wonder... will I deliver early, on time, or late??

I think the title above makes me sound like a vampire... hehehe... but yeah, just came back from my uncle cum gynae's house and my blood test result is still the same... my haemoglobin level is still low... so would need to get a blood transfusion ( is that what u call adding blood to your body? hehehe... I am just using one the most 'heard' medical term around... :D ) So this Friday would need to go to the hospital to get some things done and on Saturday I'd have to be warded for maybe half a day to get 1 pint of blood into my system... even that won't increase my haemoglobin level to the expected amount but it's better than nothing!! I'd do anything, as long as my baby gets enough oxygen... hopefully there'd be no other complications and I hope everything would go well...
Oh yeah... Dydd and Modek came over today with their hubbies... soooo happy to see both of them!! Modek is 3 months pregnant and it hasn't showed yet, and Dydd's baby, Adib is just gorgeous!! Thank you friends for the visit...

It's very rare for me to update my blog on a weekend n at almost midnite... :P But I am so glad I've at last gotten my WiFi back n i actually brought my notebook back from office which is a bit rare for me nowadays as it just seems a bit too heavy!! Hahaha... at least tonite I can write from the luxury of my own bed rather than straining my back sitting in front of the PC... :D
It has been a very busy day... went to the hospital to get my blood test done... walked around Shah Alam a bit to find a new art piece to hang on my bedroom wall but can't find any nice ones... then came back home and cleaned up my bedroom... changed the sheets and curtains, which sounds easy. but when the curtains are like 3 layers and to get it all washed took 3 cycles, I was dead tired!! ToMaToMaN was such a darling helping me do the climbing and hanging (eventhough I managed to sneak some climbing myself until he got mad!! :P). Room's still a bit bare now coz I removed the canopy hanging on top of my bed, so need to find something FAST!! Can't stand a room that looks unfinished!! Urghhhhh!! But the room smells fresh n nice tonite, thanx to fresh sheets n FEBREZE!! Hahahaha...! Maybe i should get some incense sticks burning too n get the room smelling extra nice!! Gosh, what's with me??? I think the freaking-cleaning-monica hormone is getting to me already!! Is that good or bad?? Don't think it's good if it's giving me back pains until I can't do much anymore... blurgh!! Don't even know if I can go to a friend's wedding tomorrow too with this condition... hey, I can't even walk properly!! :(

I am listening to Katie Melua's 'The Closest Thing to Crazy' and God! Do I miss Aberdeen... Sigh...! That song really reminds me of Aberdeen coz it's one of the songs we always listen to in our little house... No doubt life in Aberdeen is something to be cherished... it's not perfect or anything, but that's where ToMaToMaN's and my life started... we learnt to be independent without having anyone to rely on to... we worked our butts off (and I do mean it!) coz our jobs were really physically challenging but we had to stick to it no matter what... ToMaToMaN had to work everyday, 2 jobs in fact, but we were happy and we spent a considerable amount of time together... I have to say I kinda miss having ToMaToMaN all to myself... :) Selfish, I know, but that's how I feel right now... I think it's normal for me to feel that way when we've only got to see each other on weekends for the past 6 months, and when weekend comes, there's so many other obligations we have to turn to... but I am glad now that ToMaToMaN is back in KL, and eventhough a bit worried wondering whether he'll get his dream job, I believe in fate and destiny, and I also strongly believe in 'rezeki', so for now, it's all prayers from me and him!
Hopefully one day I would be able to return to Aberdeen and most of all, visit the tiny little house we loved so much!! It's special coz it came at the right time when we most needed it..! With it's cheap rental and cool landlord, 5 Hillhead Terrace is definitely the best!!

I practically had to drag myself out of bed today... A few reasons for it - lack of sleep coz I had to get out of bed almost 4 times a night to go to the toilet, and another I may need to get my blood checked... my haemoglobin level might be low still... what with the lack of appetite now, I actually felt tired right after my 30-mins drive to work everyday... n the longgggg day after that is unbearable!! :( I wish ToMaToMaN is here to drive me to work...
What is need is a good sleep (as below... :P) and I'm sure I'll be much, much better... I'd have to sleep in a rafflesia then, coz that's the biggest flower around... hahaha... roses are just too small... :P

Yes, my belly is as big as the above image... thot of updating this blog instead of my pregnancy blog coz I'm sure most ppl would prefer to limit clicking here n there... ;)
I don't know if it's just me, or the pregnancy hormone doing the works... but I've been feeling a bit sensitive these days... I get upset coz ToMaToMaN is in KL entertaining the Iranians for 2 days already since Monday and he didn't even drop by to see me... I get upset when ToMaToMaN said he'll be around both Wednesday and Thursday, but would have to go to Penang for a meeting Thursday evening and will only return back to KL on Friday... what's the point?? I'll be at work both days and was hoping to spend time with him after work, but if he has to go for the meeting, it'd be the same like any other weekend, well, maybe a day extra... but STILLLLL... :( Oh-well, seems like I only get upset not having to spend much time with ToMaToMaN, I admit, but I guess I've reached that 'stage' where your partner's support is most needed... and where depression and unstable emotions can easily take place... sigh...! I just hope I'd be my own self again soon... maybe having trouble to sleep at night is dragging me into this situation... maybe I'll take a day off tomorrow just to relax... maybe I should take a week off even!! How I wish I have a more understanding employer to work with... who'd offer me a week off without having to apply... now it's sooo the other way round... even if I do apply, I won't get it!! :(

Was reading Raz's husband's blog this morning about her delivery experience... Read >> Baby Arianna << It's nice to have all your pics taken eventhough I'm sure I'll be in a state of a mess going through the contractions and delivery pain... But at least there's memories, something to ponder on when the baby grows older... I'll make sure ToMaToMaN takes loads of pics, if he remembers... he's not THE type to go through every detail of a thing, but I'll insist!! :D
Looking at baby pictures makes me want this 10 more weeks to pass by faster... But I can't help worrying, not about myself, but more of the baby... Will he/she be healthy? That's my biggest worry, really! I worry when the baby doesn't move much in a day, I worry when I have stomach upset now and then, I worry when I vomit and puts stress on my stomach... I worry not providing enough oxygen for my baby to grow due to my anaemic condition... I'd feel much much happier when I don't get enough sleep like last night because my baby was moving too much...! :) Now I know why sometimes Mama would say I'll only understand when I have my own child whenever I question her on certain things... I guess if you don't go through the experience, no matter how you say you understand, it'll never be the same... Hey, I'm not even sure ToMaToMaN felt everything I feel too, coz most of the time I was REALLY sick, he's not in KL... yes, I'm sure he'll panic and hope that he can take the pain away from me, but listening to me after everything was back to normal is just not the same isn't it? I pity him for having to miss some moments, and I don't want him to miss more of it... so hopefully, just hopefully... he'll be able to transfer back to KL soon...

If I am having a girl, I'd definitely stock her up with collections of Cabbage Patch Kids... Loved it since I was 7!! Hehehe... Do u think it'd be appropriate for a boy to play with them? ;) Yeah, yeah... I know I am being ridiculous, and ToMaToMaN would scream...!! Hahaha... if I'm having a boy and he has the same interest as my nephew, Adam Hakeemi (below pic) who's crazy about superbikes... my god, it'd be expensive!! His total value of bikes and cars could reach up to more than RM5K already by now...

I'm simple, simply loves to read, looking forward to pursuing a new career doing only make-up ;)
(yup! no more programming for me...), a worrier most of the time - observes and worries for nothing :P, sometimes tends to think too much, sensitive at times but can be heartless too, appreciates true friendship...

Don't worry about looking pretty. Look pretty amazing show the world you care about yourself. Real beauty celebrates individuality. Rather than running around looking for beauty in pricey external products, discover within yourself. Make the most of what you have. You'll learn to like yourself and that will spark a light within.
*******
Feel good, feel pretty and that's just what the world will see. If you feel ugly, that's what the people will see. Try to look as good as you can. There are ways to live in beauty without being obsessive about it.
