Ramblings

Recently hubby's external hard drive went kaput. And in it was the one and only video of yours truly giving birth to baby Ariff. So I can't pester him enuf to get it fixed or somehow save the video from being lost forever. Thank God he had a copy saved in another drive and we watched it again. It's just amazing to see the baby being taken out of my tummy and seeing the whole process of my own delivery. It was a c-sec procedure and I would not even consider getting the epidural..just gas me out of oblivion please. I cannot endure another epidural birth..it will freak me out of the anaesthetic. I can feel every single invasion they did to my body! The tugging and scratching on my skin as they began to cut open, the tearing of the flesh as it opens, the wiggling of the baby as it was being pulled out and how they vacummed (i think) my stomach like churning dodol in a kuali etc..No sirree i'd rather sleep n wake up to see my baby already nice n clean swaddled next to me. The pain??? Well who says childbirth is not painful, regardless of watever the procedure. But if you ask me if I would go through it again..i'd say anytime..I love babies.This pic is taken from my friend's real collection. This was how it looked like during my op.

Once upon a time...there was this old man who was a close friend of my hubby's uncle..he predicted that i will have 9 children! What a good laugh me n hubby had..was he trying to be funny or a lousy conman...

Local Delicacy

Had lunch at Tang Dynasty Hotel with Ms. Spiji, Mildred & Mariam. Sampling their Kaamatan Buffet which was quite ok except for their dessert. Had an intersting experience trying this local delicacy which i had years ago (eaten live!) during the Eco-Challenge party. So now i am curious how the cooked version tastes like.

(accompanied by ikan panggang)
The Butod (as what it is called in local dialect) comes from the Sagu bark..the raw ones have a milky and slightly sweet taste, a bit juicy (not unpleasant at all, except u have to get past the wiggling) while tis grilled ones tasted like fried shrimp minus the smell and the texture is similar to fried squid. Nice! It's just mind over matter ;-) There you go my dears..my Fear Factor lunch.

The Storm is coming!!

At this moment..the storm is blowing very strong outside. Just minutes ago we witness the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 737 is struggling to land. We actually saw it diveddown almost hitting our building's roof and the pilot immediately took it back up again...it was a close call! The windows in one of the offices at 2nd floor broke and someone got hurt by the shards. The fishing boats in the waters near the market is now scrambling to park at the cove at Sutera arbour to find protection againts the strong waves. I'm sure it's as much dangerous for cars on the road now especially coastal highways. Those who have to use the Lok Kawi highway please be extra careful. I'm a bit apprehensive now, worried bout my babies still at the nursery. Lets pray all of us will make it through safely..amin.

so many things to say yet i can't seem to think of wat to say??? It's been 1 week since my last post n so many things happen that it's a struggle to start again..the fingers just froze on the keys..just bits n pieces here n there..wara wiri wara wiri...

3 weeks baby Ariff was sick. The 1st time brought him to Dr. Sharon in Damai Spec. but still persist. Then brought him for a 2nd opinion at SMC Dr. Liaw, he said the medicine he was given was "biasa saja" quite mild for his case. I thought wat the @#*@ i paid for a specialist n expect a better ubat as compared to a GP n poor Ariff had to consume bottles of med is not good! So Dr. Liaw prescribed stronger med (again i was so apprehensive about my little baby makan so byk ubat for a long stretch) n said he had Bronchialitis (batuk n kahak)..after 1 more week, Ariff had a recurring fever n the mucus n cough was still there n didnt feed well..so back to Dr. Liaw (he is so good with children he is so patient wit the worried mum who asked so many questions). This time he is worried that Ariff case might escalate to Pneumonia! OMG pucat I. So Ariff had to be nebulized 2x a day (early morn, n at night b4 sleep) n if not better he will be hospitalized. The nebz dragged on for 4 days.. so everyday we were at the emergency ward and he got better.
Mother's Day..mum was outstation..I woke up early made breakfast, clean the house, did laundry, bathe the kids, then huby decided to join the living, feed the kids, then i was so tired , no mood oredy to go out just took my nap end the day went on as usual..the day before Benjy gave 2 performances for MOther's Day organized by his school..was so proud to see him on stage..he is a natural performer and looked so comfortable..i was surprised that he was at the front row leading the exercise show..they all sang Mandarin song..it brought back memories when i was in the same kindergarten. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. If i'm not mistaken..the famous painting Monalisa's smile because she just found out she was pregnant.

Caught my eye

I think this is a desperate attempt of the manufacturer to sell this product..wat does that suppose to mean??? "tested on real curves for confidently firm skin"

Hahah this particular article is very ironic..that very same day i found out....

Nabil's 1st Haircut

That's Benjy giving his thumbs up..

It's almost natural that the 1st haircut will always be done by your immediate family member. When I was a lil girl, I wasn't allowed to have hair length past my shoulders, mum said students should not sport long hair..hemmm So my hair is subject to the creative works of my aunts lah..layered, bob, boy cut and luckily they didn't experiment the Poodle perm! I used to enjoy it when they tochang my hair in different styles. Now its my turn to play hairstylist hahaha..sumpak pun apa boleh dorang buat kan..muahahaha..i particularly like the 'Nicholas' of 8 is Enough haircut yg mcm mushroom tu. Nantilah..
