i tell you, i break into a nervous sweat everytime i think about December.
that is when the baby is due.
according to the calculation, it is supposed to be on the 25th of December.
according to the size, it is due on the 5th.
sigh.
well, as long as the baby is fine and it is coming out, then I'm grateful.
the thing is, am i ready?
eventhough i am a momma, the whole process had evolved. now i am on the level of Kimora and trying to teach sense to my daughter, compared to being a mother to an infant that you can't even negotiate with!
and sigh, what if i drop the baby accidentally?
or if my extra large boobies goes on strike and no momma's milk will come out?!
or if i can't manage and divide my time for my 2 babies equally?!
okay, i'm taking a deep breath....i'm just hyperventilating.
and what if i haven't bought everything for the baby?!
i haven't bought the cot's sheets, nor have i bought the damn towels.
and not to forget the blankets.
what i have bought is clothes. lots and lots of clothes.
and socks and clothes.
i still need to buy bottles. i have got 2 dr brown's bottles, but then someone told me that MAM better?! really ke?! should i change then?
and i am still waiting for the toiletteries.
and aaarrrgggghhhhh....napkins, and pillows and matress and......
i give up.
and i only have 1 month to shop.
sigh. wish me luck, guys!

Jasmine's Bday Bash!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!
it was Jasmine's birthday on the 11th October...we had a few 'bashes'..we celebrated one in Penang during the 3rd raya with the clan...it was loud and rowdy - the usual lah from the clan...we had cake from Secret Recipe (not by choice) and even my favourite - Creme Caramel!the next one was a private affair...it was just Jasmine, Bonda and Daddy in TGIF the Curve...you see, being the drama queen she is, she had always wanted to have the 'Birthday Works' in TGIF - with the stomping and clapping and singing while the bday babe stands on the chair!
so, because she always wanted that, (and the fact that the parents couldn't afford to belanja everyone in TGIF), we just went the 3 1/2 of us (don't forget baby in my tummy!) ...she totally enjoyed the whole experience, and she got to chose the dessert, on the house..
on sunday, we went to Nana's house to prepare for her party that evening...it was supposed to start at 4.. the menu was:
- nasik impit and kuah kacang (since it is still Raya)
- pulut kuning
- chicken curry
- ketupat daun palas
- serunding daging and ayam
- baked pasta
- potato salad
- french bread
- fried meehoon (thanks Warda!)
- orange trifle
- bread and butter pudding
- nuggets
- hotdogs
- Birthday Cake
haaa...and i got this cake from Coffee Bean - cute eh?! and it was absolutely delish! the only issue is that it had a tinge of coffee taste...but the cake was finished before the end of the day! (unlike the case that we face every year where the cake tak pernah habis, and is kept in the fridge sampai keras!)
anyways, the princess was dressed in her Cinderella dress that was bought by Mummy Ija in London...it can be reversed! one side is the blue dress, and the other is the white dress that the mice made for her! it is goegeous!
alot of guests came...the party was supposed to start at 4, but the guests came by 3.30..even I tak sempat mandi lagi! and the party ended by 10.30 pm!! i thank all of you for all the presents and for YOUR presence at the party...all of us in the family are grateful and hope that all of you enjoyed yourself.
as for the princess, she has got loads of gifts, and she is even cash rich! :)
so, again, thanks for everything...and hope to see you all at her party next year! InsyaAllah...

Kunta Kinte Strikes Back
Selamat Hari Raya all!
It has been a while since I last wrote (long for me) and somehow rindu lah pulak...i guess, yes, it is the hormones..
anyways, i am now 30 weeks preggers and my tummy is as large as a tong drum.
not to forget my other parts of the body - my boobies, my cheeks, my bumbums, my punani (sorry), my nose, my ankle is gone somewhere ( i think i left it in one Utama the other day) and as well as my favourite - the flab that hangs from under my almost-non-existant- chin.
there, the perfect pregnant mummy. oh, and instead of constipating, i am forever passing motion
! not to say that i eat a lot, but dunno lah why...all the time.
and talking about eating, i am having trouble eating coz my teeth are a mess! as i said, i need to do 2 root canal's and i can't because they can't use anesthetic. and no, i am not Rambo. therefore, i choose to wait. so now, my molars are killing me, causing me to eat not as much as my heart desires, but still enough to look like a rhino.
anyways, wanted to write about raya...
we had a loooooong holiday planned...hubby managed to get leave from monday right to the next monday...meaning we had 10 days all in all. went home to my momma-in-law's home in Tg Tualang on Sunday morning. reached there about 2 plus, and the first thing that hit me was - the HEAT! i forgot how HOT it was back there, and plus with the pregnancy hormones, i was sweating like a chinese-male-contractor-with-a-bad-perm-in-the-sauna-at-the-spa-in-Jalan-Bukit-Bintang.
ad the weird part is that - they don't like to open the windows!
why?
cos the windows faces the neirbour's house, therefore no privacy.
huh?!
i tell you, the only clothing that i wear at home usually even puts Tarzan's partner Jane to shame, so imagine the horror that i had to endure when i had to be fully clothed *gasp*
and yes, they have 2 ceiling fans in the living room, but they only put on 1. i'll switch on one, and the moment i come back from the room (i wasn't fasting, thank Goodness - so gi curik2 minum)
the fan will be off!
sigh, never have my hubby seen me sooo rajin taking my baths. even if it is at 11 pm at night. don't worry, urat2 takkan kembang even though mandi malam coz my poor urat2 dah shrivelled up due to lack of water!
don't get me wrong, i love my mother-in-law, but comaon la, i am 7 months pregnant with a huge belly, and the only thing that she keeps on asking me is "nak masak apa untuk berbeka malam ni?" and no, it is not to ask what I WANT to EAT, but rather what I WILL be COOKING for THEM to EAT!
every year, this Kunta Kinte will be stationed in the kitchen, yes?! but this year, moi is tired and bloated.
so the answer to her question will usually be answered with a kerang-busuk smile.
which apparently she doesn't get it (or pretends not to get it?!) and she will ask again.
sigh.
and the best part is that Princessapesa (aka my youngest sis-in-law) who is already 24 is at home, and no, she is not disabled.
and yet, she can't do the housework! i dunno if she can't or she won't or what.
to the extent, even buka puasa, she only made masak merah ikan bawal seekor! for herself! whereas my mom-in-law bought 3fishes!
sigh.
but being the 'nice' sis-in-law that i am, i ignored all this.
until la my other sis-in-law came back..the one that got married on the same day that i did.
(history jap: my mom-in-law dulu marah hubby coz he wanted to marry me - a KL girl who would not know anything and would have the skills needed in a wife and a menantu, compared to choosing a kampung girl who would be better)
the menantu from kampung came back, and didn't even lift a finger.
at all.
pagi raya, Kunta Kinte had to cook. me, bloated pregnant me who don't even cook at my own house, and my mother's house, had to cook on Hari Raya! while Princessapesa slept beradu sampai almost 9!
and the worst part is, i fell in the kitchen coz it was slippery. Smack on my ass.
my Dad mengamok when he found out! but then again, what to do? kesian hubby, i didn't want him to feel awkward if his wife tak tolong..
so yeah, that was Raya. and the other menantu from the kampung was happily shaking her leg in front.
i guess, the city gal is better lah...
but things got better coz we left for Penang on the 3rd raya to gather in Batu ferigghi! we did go to tha clan house in Bukit gelugoq, but my aunty booked us a banglo near the beach, so the clan went there to chill.....
the next evening around 6 plus, we left to Alor Staq and had a happy 2 1/2 day stay there - complete with laksa,meehun soup Utara, Pekan Rabu and visit to Jitra where we bought cheap 'TOTO'!!! (the comforter ah, not the 4D)
so, all in all, what is left with raya is my blocked nose, my suitcase is which is there unpacked, and waiting for my cousins to upload pictures from their cameras!
hope all of you had a wonderful Raya with your families!
