Frankensteina the Momma

34 Weeks and Counting

2008-07-11T18:37:00.002+08:00

To my husband...I love you very much and I just can't wait for little Peanut to come and complete our little family..

I am now 34 weeks and just counting days...

And we don't have a name yet! Yikes....any idea?

I am going to enjoy my weekend...

Hope you will too

Toodles :)

Sexay Whale (heheheheheh)

2008-06-19T16:40:00.004+08:00

C'est moi at 30 weeks.

I feel like a whale! Sexay whale nonetheless ;)

I am at my most peaceful state ever in my life. I'm more calm (honest)....it's kinda strange really. Most of my pregnant friends just couldn't wait to give birth and whatever, but I like being pregnant.

I LOVE being pregnant.

Sure I waddle and I pee every 5 minutes and I'm sweaty all the time and I take at least 10 minutes to get out bed.

But being pregnant makes me feel....whole

And the fact that I can love this unborn baby of mine so very much...and i know that I'll do anything for him...

It's scary and wonderful at the same time

Mommy loves you Peanut :)

See you in 10 weeks

Peeking Peanut

2008-06-05T12:02:00.006+08:00

My name : Peanut (for the moment...I hope!)

Gestational Age : 28 weeks (but hey, I was told that I look much younger than my age ;))

Weight : 1.262kg

Length : 14.4 inches

Favourite position : On the very left of Mommy's tummy. It's darn cozy and comfy here. Never mind that Mommy is uncomfy all the time whenever I snuggle up tightly.

Favourite moves : Tripple sommersaults, nose dive, crouching tiger fist punches, hidden dragon right left then right kicks before double whammy and a header. Never mind that Mommy groans with excrutiating pain whenever I do that to her tummy.

Favourite food : I don't exactly have a choice here. I eat whatever Mommy eats *sighs* But I
do enjoy wan tan mee and green apple a lot. And I LOVE spicy food.

Favourite time of the day : Very early in the morning when Mommy likes to hear my heartbeat with the fetal monitor and just before Mommy and Daddy goes to bed. That is when we like to discuss how our days went.

Favourite i-Tunes : Duffy's Mercy. This song gets me wiggling my bum and my toes.

Favourite sound : Of course, Mommy's voice and Daddy's whenever he tells me stories of this
thing call 'Manchester United'. I have been told by Daddy that I am forbidden to support any other team than MU. Mommy secretly told me that it's OK to like Liverpool ;)

Favourite activities : Eat, sleep, eat, sleep, kick kick kick, sleep, eat, kick kick kick, eat, sleep

Favourite pet : I am a cat lover. Sometimes Mommy lets the cat sit on her tummy. Daddy
doesn't know about this so...shhhh

Favourite place : Anywhere there's food :)

Worst sound : Sound of Mommy's male boss yakking away in the office and PRETENDING to do his work when he's actually chatting on YM or surfing the net for handbags and
make ups. Yes it's you, you nincampoop! I don't give a r@ts a$$ if
you're reading this. Get off your lazy tush and do the job that you're
paid for to do, for once.

Most hated person : Read the above si vouz plez, merci beaucoup.

Weeks to go before I'm born : 12 weeks. I can't wait to wail and poop all around the clock! :)

Wish me luck people.

Peanut The Exhibitionist

2008-05-09T12:48:00.000+08:00

WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!

:))))))))))))))))

3D/4D Scan

2008-04-22T16:33:00.003+08:00

Can anyone tell where where can I do 3D/4D scan for Peanut? Was suppose to go and do it at An-Nur in Bangi but unfortunately the sonographer is away on 'umrah' and they have no idea when will she be back (?)

By the way what's the difference between a 3D and a 4D scan?

You Got $hit Fly?

2008-04-22T14:04:00.003+08:00

Kindly ignore the direct translation yes? hehehe

Anyway, this got me staring at me face for hours :)

First, check your face for any moles, and then look at the diagram above to identify the number(s) that are a closest match to the moles on your face. Usually, the moles only hold meaning for you if they are prominent and they are the only one. If your face if full of spots, acne or "little" moles, they do not count. When you've ascertained which position corresponds to the mole on your face, look up the meanings listed by numbers below.

Position 1 to 3
As a child, you are somewhat rebellious and a free spirit. You have an innate creativity and work best when you are given a free hand. Generally, your superiors like your avante garde approach to life. If you have a mole here, you are far better off in business and being your own boss rather than working for somebody. What is promising is that you have the luck to be your own boss.

Position 4

You are an impulsive person, often acting with a flamboyance that gives you charisma and a sparkling personality, but you can be difficult when there are too many opinions. You tend to be rather argumentative, but never to the point of holding grudges. This mole tends to give you an explosive temper and should you decide to remove it, you will find yourself becoming calmer and more at peace with the world.

Position 5
A mole above the eyebrow indicates that there is wealth luck in your life, but you will need to earn it and work harder than most people. All the income you make must be carefully kept as there are people who are jealous of you who might attempt to sweet talk you into parting with your wealth. Be wary of those who try to interest you in get-rich-quick schemes. If you have a mole here, it is advisable not to be too trusting of others. Follow your instincts and be cautious. And never allow other people to control your finances.

Position 6

A mole here indicates intelligence, creativity and skill as an artist. Your artistic talent can bring you wealth, fame and success. It also indicates wealth luck, but this can only be fully realized if you follow your heart rather than stick to conventional means of making a living. Success will come if you are brave.

Position 7

Moles under the eyebrows indicate arguments within the extended family that cause you grief and unhappiness. This will affect your work and livelihood. It is advisable to settle any differences you have with your relatives if you want peace of mind to move ahead. \n

Position 8

This is not a very good position for a mole. Your financial position will constantly be under strain because of a tendency to overspend. You also have a penchant for gambling. The only thing is you must know when to stop. Meanwhile, someone with a mole here has a tendency to flirt with members of the opposite sex as well as with the same sex. Better be a little discerning where you exert your charms, or you might get into trouble.

Position 9

This mole position suggests sexual and other problems. It is an unfortunate mole and you are well advised to get rid of it. It brings a litany of woes and a parade of problems.

Position 10

A mole here just under the nose indicates excellent descendants luck. You are surrounded by family at all times and will have many children and grandchildren. You have the support of those close to you and will be both materially and emotionally fulfilled.

Position 11

Moles here suggest a tendency to succumb to illness. It is a good idea to have this mole removed especially if it is a large, dark-coloured mole. Otherwise use lots of foundation to cover it.

Position 12

A mole here foretells a successful but also a very balanced life. You are likely to be not just rich, but famous as well. But although you have every opportunity to live the high life, you will have a satisfying home and family life as well. Women with moles here are particularly lucky and tend to be beautiful and glamourous as well.

Position 13

Your children will be a big worry in your life. Your relationship with them is not good. There is nothing much you can do about this except to learn some tolerance.

Position 14

A mole here suggests a vulnerability to food which can be a big problem in your life. You may have allergies against certain foods or you may simply be eating too much.

Position 15

You are a person always on the move and constantly renovating and redesigning your house. You like to be introduced to new things and see new places. You are not happy if you remain in one place for long. You enjoy travel and adventure, and have a very observant eye.

Position 16

You need to be careful when it comes to eating, and also when it comes to your sex life. These are your two biggest problems. You tend to have weight issues which can make you depressed. You enjoy romance, sometimes with more than one person, but because you are a person with some morality, you will feel guilty about it and this will cause you much stress.

Position 17

You will be someone of great social prominence. You are active on the social scene and an excellent conversationalist. There is a tendency to become bigheaded about your success, which could lose you your good name. This will affect you deeply because you draw your confidence and self worth from what others think of you.

Position 18

You are a person always on the move. There is a great deal of overseas travel in your life, but you should take extra care each time you cross the great waters, as your mole prefers you to stay at home.

Position 19

You have money luck and many good friends, so this is a good mole to have. Your weakness is that you tend to succumb to the charms of the opposite sex. In your life, it is this that could get you into hot water, so do cool your ardour!

Position 20

A mole here can be very lucky or very unlucky. If you have a mole here, you are destined either for extreme fame or infamy. You have great flair for creativity and are also highly intelligent, but your talents can be used for both good and bad. You are not a person to be trifled with for you are no pushover and do not forgive and forget easily. This mole is a mark of someone who will go down in history either as a great or as a tyrant.

Position 21

This is a good mole, as it suggests plenty to eat and drink throughout your life. This mole also brings fame and recognition.

Position 22

Your life is always happy and things go smoothly for you. You could well become a sports superstar if you have the passion for it. Moles at the end of eyebrows also suggest a person of authority and power, so if you are the CEO of a company, you will do very well.

Position 23

You have a high IQ, and you are both brain smart and street smart. You have a highly-developed survival instinct and will lead a meaningful and long life. You will be active until a very old age and will have friends and family around you till the very end.

Position 24

You will achieve fame and fortune in your young age and you are advised to use this period to safeguard your old age, as people with moles here tend to have a harderlife as they get older.

Position 25

You will enjoy good prosperity and recognition luck, but do be careful of excesses. Stay traditional in your attitudes and you will have a long and fruitful life.

Cutie Suri

2008-04-11T17:26:00.002+08:00

I wish Peanut will be as cute as Suri (or cuter!) :D

She is just so adorable *sighs*

I say she's the cutest Hollywood baby

Our Baby Wishlist

2008-04-11T17:13:00.003+08:00

I know Mr Frankie would love to get his hands on ALL Man U baby merchandise :)

I particularly like the baby bouncer it's so cute :)

Happy Weekend Y'all

2008-04-11T14:41:00.009+08:00

This week flew by so quickly and I can't believe it's already Friday. Hooray! :) People say time moves quickly when you're having fun.

On the contrary really.

Work is beginning to pile up and with the impending EXCO and BOD meetings and AGM just looming around the corner, my prediction is that the next two months will be my busiest months of the year *sighs* I dread AGM though I thoroughly enjoy the end product, I detest the work.

Anyway, I'm feeling Peanut kicking more and more these days, much to Mr Frankie's delight for Mr Frankie foster this dream of sending his first newborn to Manchester United Football School. And whether Peanut is a boy or a girl doesn't seems to matter to Mr Frankie hahahaha!

We just purchased a car seat for Peanut. We decided to go for car seat instead of a baby carrier because baby carrier don't last that long and plus we can't afford to get both so we opted to go for the car seat. So off we went to MC and got this for Peanut :)

Mothercare Seville car seat - Grey Bear

Product details
Car seat suitable from birth
Rear-facing from birth to 13kg (approx 15mths), forward-facing once your child can sit unaided 9kg - 18kg (approx 9mths - 4yrs)
Seat has an integral harness, and is secured in car by an adult seat belt
Side-impact protection
4 reclining seat positions when forward facing
Includes padded newborn liner, chest and buckle pads
5-point, 1-pull harness
Removable, washable cover

The operative word is : practicality. And the fact that this car seat can be used til the infant is 4 years old is a big plus point for us so though we wanted something else in the beginning, we settled for this one.

And since I will be ferrying Peanut to and fro from Shah Alam to Bangi on a daily basis, this car seat provide great safety features and it's grey in colour so it won't be so noticeable when it's all smudge :) hehehehe

And this is Sofiya trying out the car seat :)

So now I need breast$ pump. I've done some surveys and apparently Medela is the best choice. Avent is just way too expensive for me.

We also need baby cot...

...and a stroller.

We're bleeding cash!

But then again, you get to be first-time parents only once in your life so Mr Frankie and I are going to enjoy this.

Anyway, have a good weekend y'all :)

Congratulations To Nana and Wan and My Belly Shot At 20 Weeks

2008-04-07T15:26:00.010+08:00

Congratulations are in order for my good friend Marina and her husband Wan who tied the knot last weekend. Mr Frankie and I went to their 'kenduri' and we had a blast! The food was delicious and the event was very happening :)

Nana is so beautiful in her criomson dress and Wan looks so handsome in his crimson suit and they make a lovely couple.

To Nana and Wan, congratulations again from Mr Frankie and I and Peanut.

And also...

"Ingat kalau lebam takpe, boleh tuam"

And this handosme young man is Miki, diyanazman's 2-month old son. Just look at those chubby cheeks! I can just bite'em and kiss'em and bite'em again and kiss'em again :D

Miki is just so adorable and very cute I was this close to bring him home with me...heheheheh

And this is my belly at 20 weeks. Huge oui? Heheheheheh.

I never really felt 'pregnant' before but it seems like one day I woke up and I had trouble getting out of bed and my tummy seemed to ballooned up overnight and I feel so very pregnant!

I'm due for my check up tomorrow and Wednesday.

Say, has anyone given birth in Hospital Serdang before? Do they administer epidural??

Baby Sofiya

2008-04-03T18:14:00.003+08:00

We have not seen baby Sofiya for the longest of time (3 months is very very long) and since my sister's wedding is tomorrow, we have a whole bunch of family members gathering at my house tonight and guess who just arrived?

It's baby Sofiya...or just Sofiya as she has grown so much since the lat time we saw her! And just look at her she is getting cuter and cuter.

So which one is better?

Healthier?

Me? Well I WANT Epidural but still I need to know from you mommies out there.

When The Whole Family Got Together...

2008-03-31T14:46:00.007+08:00

Last Saturday my family and I had a lovely food tasting session in Residence Uniten as my sister will be holding her wedding recption there this coming Friday. Us being us, we are suckers for free food (hahahahahaha!) So off we went to Residence at about 8:00 p.m.

Though I couldn't eat the 'nasi minyak' but that did not deter me from enjoying the dishes yums yums! And after dinner we decided to head to the seafood retaurant for some live music. We were singing along to the music sang by this Indonesian band and had coffee and tea and just hang out it was fun!

That's my younger sister K.Chik and that's Atan, the youngest in the family. These people LOVES the camera (camwh0re betul budak budak nih heheheheh)

That's the pengantin 'gedik' on the left hahahahahahaha!

Me mum and me dad :)

That's me behind the pillar :D

And this is my very hungry husband :)

Family is the MOST important thing to me and I will try and make sure that I spend time with my mum and my dad especially.

Bank Rakyat Melawati Branch Is The Worst

2008-03-28T11:56:00.004+08:00

I have been dealing with Bank Rakyat Melawati Branch close to 4 years now and I can safely say that BANK RAKYAT MELAWATI BRANCH IS THE WORST BANK EVER.

The staffs are VERY RUDE and VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

What happened?

I shall not elaborate.

Suffice to say that they treat their customers like crap, have no sense of courtesy whatsoever and frickkin' lazy bunch of people.

For once, DO YOUR DAMN JOB.

Pleaselah, you are in the financial and service business. Learn how to talk to your customers with respect.

We don't take your money for free. We pay it back....with interest.

Buduh punya bank.

Hi I'm Back :)

2008-03-26T14:54:00.005+08:00

First of all I want to say thanks to all well wishers :) I really appreciate it.

Secondly, I am fine and Peanut is fine we're both fine *alhamdulillah* praise to God :) I'd do anything to ensure that Peanut is safe even if it means injecting myself with insulin 4 times a day *ouch* I'll blog about my insulin galore soon.

I was couped up in my parent's house in Bangi for about a week and when Sunday came I told Mr Frankie that I MUST go out before I go crazy. I was seriously ill mind you. I couldn't even stand for more than 5 minutes without feeling like passing out, but I just needed some fresh air. So we decided to do some baby shopping. Off we went to Ikano. It was quite a quiet weekend not many people around. My guess is with Thursday being holiday, most people 'balik kampung' or went for a holiday.

Anyway, we managed to get some things for Peanut. The steam sterilizer was a steal (My mom is going to look after Peanut later so I though an electric steamer would not burden me mom so much, plus it was on sale).

We got Peanut some clothes too :)

And this is what Peanut's daddy got him/her. Oh my, that child has no say in choosing his football team hehehehe!

And I plan to take Peanut's naked pictures as much as I can. I learn from my mom that you can use the pictures to blackmail your child later on in is/her life.

It worked on me. Ehem...

I'm 18 weeks along now and I'm beginning to feel Peanut moving more and more. We went for a scan last weekend to find out if Peanut is a he or a she but Peanut must be a really shy baby as the doctor can't see his private part at all. We are to go for a detail scan when I'm 22 weeks so I hope we can tell by then.

Ok insulin time. Wish me luck

A LIttle Bad News From The Doctor Today....

2008-03-16T23:02:00.005+08:00

A little bad news from the doctor today.

Coming from a family with history of diabetes, I have been confirmed that I have gestational diabetes so I will be admitted into the ward tomorrow for observation and insulin injections.

Well, gestational diabetes is quite common really so I'm not too worried though I do feel a little scared. I hate needles, especially when my vein is just so impossible to find. The last time I had my blood drawn, the doctor took almost 10 minutes to locate my vein. So imagine my horror tomorrow!!

Anyway, do pray for me and I'll keep you updated.

Til then people, wish me luck.

Ultrascan At 14 Weeks...just a lil update

2008-03-14T17:31:00.004+08:00

Hi there! For some reason my mom and dad call me Peanut, however I believe they have some better names for me later when I'm born (and I truly hope so!)

Here I am at 14 weeks. My mom just couldn't wait to see me at 16 weeks so what she did was she went for a sacn without daddy knowing about it (hehehehehehe)

Anyway I am not very handsome/pretty here. My left side is never my best side. I've been telling mommy about it but mommy likes to see my face instead of my bum ;)

I have been drinking alot of chocolate milk cause normal milk makes my mommy puke. Also I eat a lot of cheese and Tropicana ice cream. Between you and me, I like the ice cream better so I make my mommy wants to eat Tropicana ice cream every day *shhh don't tell my mom*

So far I'm growing very very fast. I've been kicking mommy to let her know that I'm inside here but I guess she won't be able to feel me yet.

And daddy likes to make mommy laugh so when she laughs I get all giddy because mommy laugh so hard that I feel like there's earthquake inside here.

I'm happily swimming in my warm amniotic fluid though it can get pretty lonely in here all alone so sometimes I like to play with my placenta.

And I just heard mommy telling daddy that she's waiting for daddy to come and pick her up. Which means that I'll be getting my Tropicana ice cream soon ;)

Bye bye everyone. I have a big day tomorrow.

Nasik Lemak Sambal Kerang

2008-03-14T15:54:00.007+08:00

I have been craving for 'nasik lemak sambal kerang' for quite some time now and today, our tea lady, Kok Nor was kind enough to get me some :)

Yipeeeee!

Yes I am having nasik lemak and 'nescafe panas' at 4:00 p.m. and it's so 'sedap' (delicious)!

I'm going to have my sugar level checked tomorrow at Az-Zahrah during my monthly visit so I will have to fast from 8p.m. tonight until 8 a.m. tomorrow morning time for the test.

Told Mr Frankie I have no idea how am I going to go through the fasting period without biting me own hands due to hunger (when you're pregnant, you'll know what I mean when I say pregnant women can't be hungry)

What if I suddenly have cravings for McDonalds Foldover or chee chong fun or rawa tosai or ribs at Tony Roma's or or Mocha Mud Pie at TGIF or Nasik Briyani Gam Johor or Nasik Lemak Antarabangsa in Kampung Baru or Assam Pedas at Precinct 9 in Putrajaya or my mum's super delicious Nasik Daging or cendol in Bangi or ais kacang at my office's cafe?

Lets hope I don't try to bite Mr Frankie's fingers/ears/stomach/butt/errrmm....anywhere 'biteable' ;) while sleeping.

Anyway today is Friday! Yippeeedoodledeeee!

My guess we won;t be doing anything much this coming weekend as Mr Frankie has to work. Poor Mr Frankie.

Me? I think I'll get my private blog up we'll see how things go :)

Ok ya'll have a fantastic weekend :)

My Belly Shot At 16 Weeks Pregnant

2008-03-13T09:30:00.003+08:00

Please, kindly ignore my ever expanding body and boobies. I have a feeling that I'm gonna be real huge :)

And my nose seems to be expanding too!

We are going for our monthly check up tomorrow at Az-Zahrah in Bangi. We have yet to look for other places so at the moment we're sticking with Az-Zahrah.

Have yet to feel real movement or anything but I'm experiencing that 'fluttering' feeling every now and then. I've been told that's Peanut! :) But I'd like to get a real kick from the little fella before I got all excited.

Aside from all other text-book symptoms, one that I'm very not happy about is that I haven't been able to sleep at night as I keep waking up. Like early this morning, I woke up at 2 a.m. only to be able to go back to sleep at 4:45 a.m. This makes me really sleepy and tired in the office.

Any tips mommies out there?

Woke up this morning and had the urge to beautify myself (haven't really been paying attention to how I look like ever since I got preggie) so this morning in desperate attempt to look 'hot' and 'vogue', I put on some blusher and lipstick but I guess I must've put on a little bit too much that I thought I was looking at a clown when I saw myself in the mirror at the office today :D

Some of you must be wondering why did I restricted my blog yesterday. Well my initial plan was to make Frankensteina a private blog as I'd like to put up pictures for my family and friends to see (I'm reluctant to put up my pics if my blog is not restricted as there are a lot of sick people out there. God kows what they'll do to your pics!). But then again I've received smses and emails from blogger friends that requested that I unrestrict my blog. So Frankensteina will be a public blog and I'll put up another blog as my private blog. I'll keep you posted.

Ok have to get back to writing minutes (yuck yuck yuck)

Toodles.

Hypopopopopocrites

2008-03-11T18:18:00.004+08:00

It's amazing how some people get on my nerves...

I can't take hypocrites...really.

That hollier than thou attitude? Pleaselah...

I regret doing what I did for you. If I knew, I would just let it be.

Buat penat jer.

Mampos engkaulah.

You are pathetic.

Pregnancy Make You Do And Say The Darnest Thing

2008-03-11T08:50:00.005+08:00

I woke up this morning feeling extremely fatigue and achy and hungry and we were late for work! We usually woke up at about 5:30 a.m. and we'll be out of the house latest by 7:00 a.m. But this morning Mr Frankie let me sleep in and only woke me up at 6:45 a.m. I asked him why did he do that and he said I told him to bugger off and leave me alone (??) Ok I have NEVER done that before and darling I'm sorry ;)

Just the other night, I was told by Mr Frankie that I woke up in the middle of the night and asking him whether he'd like to play badminton with me (and I don't play badminton!)

Anyway today we were late and I was rushing getting ready and we were out of the house in less than 10 minutes. So while in the car, I suddenly feel my face was getting harder and harder and when I try to smile, my face cracked! I was puzzled because I know that I put on quite an amount of moisturizer on my face. And when I took a sniff of my hand, I realised that I did not put on my moisturizer, instead I put on my husband's hair gel on my face!

I laughed and laughed and laughed til the car shook (hahahahahaha!) and when I told my husband about it, he had to pull over by the roadside to laugh at me. We stopped by the nearest gas station so that I can wash my face and put on my moisturizer :D

I guess pregnancy has wrecked my hormones worse than I thought :)

You Can Go Fly Kite

2008-03-10T16:30:00.005+08:00

This is a ranting and venting post.

Was just reading some of my friend's blog and it made me think of my ex-best friend. Lets call her akI.

akI and I were inseparable, people thought we were twins! We've gone through think and thin you name it we've done it...

But I guess along the way people change. I changed definitely and I guess she changed too. It's funny how someone changed when they have a boyfriend. Her then bf and I didn't get along at all and contrary to popular belief, a lot of things happened that no one knew except me and akI that made me decided that akI was just not worth my time. I know a lot of our friends thought I was the cruel beyatch who just stopped talking to akI. Truth is, I just couldn't be bothered to tell them the truth because honest to God, I just don't give a damn. I believe they didn't give a damn too.

What's worse is that I have this tendency to shut someone out of my life when they hurt me. I find it easier to deal with when they no longer in my life, and so far, my method works tremendously well.

After a long 4 years, I'm glad that I didn't care. I'm glad that we parted ways and I'm glad that she is now out of my life. Sounds terrible isn't it? Trust me, if you only knew what really happened, it's not as cruel as it seems.

The thing was that i dreamt about akI for about 2 weeks in a row that she was in some sort of danger. She was all forlorn and sad and crying.

I'm not too sure what my dreams mean. And I have no plan to find out.

I've come to a point in my life where I do not need validation from friends that I just couldn't care less. As I get older I just want to surround myself with people/friends who I care and who cares about me.

And to you my dear....you can go fly kite.

And can you please tell your husband to shove it in his 'where-the-sun-don't shine' and zip it. Enough with the fake american accent. You came back to Malaysia many many moons ago, get over yourself.

*sighs* Thank you for letting me rant and vent.

Belle Bella Belly

2008-03-10T11:34:00.008+08:00

Now that I am approaching 16 weeks, I can't wear most of my pre-pregnancy clothes. I have been buying maternity clothes but maternity clothes can cost a bomb! A simple blouse at ModernMum could fetch to almost RM200++ and that's a load of money for me.

So a friend told me about this Bella Band.

So what exactly is a Bella Band?

The Bella Band is a seamless knit band you wear at your waistline, over your unbuttoned pre-pregnancy pants, over slightly big maternity pants, or around the waistband of any maternity style that falls down around your hips. The Bella Band holds your pants up, disguising bulky unfastened closures or excessive fabric creating a smooth belly surface. Now, no one has to know your pants are undone or loose.

If you’re in your first or early second trimester, you’ll love being able to wear you favorite pre-pregnant clothes longer. Just put them on without buttoning the top and let the Bella Band conceal everything – no one will ever know a thing!

Wear the Bella Band concealed, or let it peek out from under your top for that hip, layered look. If your top rises, it looks like a t-shirt or camisole -- not a funky mechanism to expand your waistband or hold up your pants. Wear your non-pregnant girl pants a little longer and those cute maternity fashions a little sooner.

Have more clothes to choose from during your pregnancy and after you give birth, enjoy getting dressed every day, and feel confident with how you look. You're pregnant! Have fun! Now go out and play.

Makes an absolute perfect gift to the pregnant gal who’s always complaining about the fit of her maternity clothes. Ha – that’s EVERY pregnant gal! She’ll be thrilled to know she doesn’t have to suffer wearing too-baggy maternity clothes or too-tight pre-pregnancy clothes anymore! The Bella Band makes everything fit just right!

Since I am at a stage where maternity clothes can be too big for me and normal clothes are just out of the question, I decided that perhaps I should get this miracle band for myself. However, after calculating the cost and shipping cost and that cost and this cost, it came to about a couple of hundred ringgit. So I though, what can I do?

I rummaged through my wardrobe and found my old tube tops which I can use as a belly band! And it's free :) Now I can still use my pre-pregnancy jeans and pants. All I have to do is just pull up the tube top over my belly and voila! And it feels very very comfortable and snuggly.

By the way, I still have no luck with the fetal monitor :( Seems like it's not widely used (or not used at all) here. And they even looked at me funny when I told them that I'm looking for a fetal monitor (??) Even had a slight argument with the lady at the MC store when I told her that a fetal monitor and a baby monitor are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.

*sighs* It can be quite frustrating...

Anyway, meeting at 10:00 is postponed to tomorrow.

I just wish they cancel the meeting ;)

BITCHOLOGY

2008-03-10T11:22:00.005+08:00

I got this in my e-mail today and I say "You go girl!" to this ;)

BITCHOLOGY
When I stand up for myself and my beliefs,
they call me a bitch.

When I stand up for those I love,
they call me a bitch.

When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts
or do things my own way,
they call me a bitch.

Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's i n my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse totolerate injustice and speak against it,
I am defined as a bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself
instead of being everyone's maid,
or when I act a little selfish.

It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself
to be who I truly am and won't become
anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.

I am outspoken,opinionated and determined.
I want what I want and there is nothing wrong withthat!

So try to stomp on me,
try to douse my inner flame,
try to squashevery ounce of beauty I hold within me.

You won't succeed.
And if that makes me abitch ,so be it.
I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself

B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman

B = Beautiful
I = Individual
T = That
C = Can
H = Handle anything

"If you can't do something right, get a woman to do it."

Most women are called a lot of names just because they put themselves first at times. I've seen and experience this first hand and it's just sad. Women are discriminated even til now. It might not be as obvious as before but the discrimination is still there.

But I guess what's worse is when women discriminate against each other....

Doing Banana

2008-03-10T09:17:00.003+08:00

Good Monday morning! Apparently Sunday come and go so fast that it's now Monday and I'm already in the office writing this before I go for my 10 a.m. meeting. The office is still buzzing with the election news and most of my office mates are not here yet despite the fact that office hour started an hour ago.

I have to go. I might just blog during the meeting (heheheheh!)

I better eat my banana and take my Obimin like the good girl I am.

Adios amigos tra la la la la.

I Wish Sunday Is Longer

2008-03-09T18:19:00.003+08:00

Ooooh it's already Sunday and I'm still trying to figure out what happened to Saturday. Anyway it has been quite a relaxing weekend. Hot Mama, Mr Frankie and I decided to start our Saturday with some wantan mee in Berjaya Restaurant in Bangsar. It was relatively mild and calm Saturday considering that it was election day.

After that we stopped at Times at BSC to get a pregnancy book journal. Mr Frankie and I decided that we would like to start a pregnancy journal for Peanut. However we didn't find any pregnancy journal that we like so we decided to come up with our own version. Mr Frankie and I will alternately write down our own pregnancy experience and we're hoping to pass the journal to Peanut when he's all grown up.

And I also managed to pick up some magazines.

Pregnancy magazines are expensive I tell you but I have to say "Parenthood" is my favourite.

I'm thinking of getting the 'Yoga for Pregnancy' DVD but I'm not too sure whether it's safe to do it on my own at home. So, I'm now looking for a pregnancy yoga class that is not too expensive and it has to be somewhere in PJ, Kelana Jaya or Shah Alam area.

Oh boy I gotta go pee again. I wish Sunday is longer.

Catch you later aligator

The Game Is Definitely NOT On Tonight

2008-03-08T21:14:00.005+08:00

So, ok it's Saturday night and it's raining heavily outside and Mr Frankie and I were in our room, on the bed, under the comforter getting all hot and steamy. We were cuddling and kissing and groping (ok fine "I" was the one doing all the groping) and I thought to meself "Girl, you're getting lucky tonight".

With Erykah Badu playing softly in the background and me feeling' sexy and all when suddenly...

"Oh god! Oh god!" ...,,

I thought Mr Frankie was getting all sexited when I was nibbling his left ear but no!

"Mummy! The Manchester United game is starting in 5. I gotta go! Love you"

Mr Frankie gave me a quick kiss on my cheek and on my belly and he practically flew down the stairs to the living room.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is my husband. He'd pretty much would drop anything (yes ladies, even a hot steamy rompy romp session) for a football game.

What happened to me? Well I put on my pj and joined him downstairs.

Manchester United better win tonight!

Game update : It's half time and Manchester United - 0, Portsmouth - 0. I bugged Mr Frankie to go buy me dinner since the first 5 minutes into the game (that's what you get when you leave me for a footie game) I bugged him every 3 minutes. Now's on the way to the shop to get me some 'Nasik Goreng Paprik' and 'Nescafe Ice'

Hehehehehehehehe! ;)

Hey...it's not me, it's the baby :D

The Do's And Don'ts Of Parenting

2008-03-06T19:12:00.006+08:00

I have this funny feeling that Mr Frankie would probably do what the guy in the picture is doing when he's testing the baby's bottle.

Hahahahaha!

15 Weeks Pregnant (And 25 Weeks To Go)

2008-03-06T10:39:00.004+08:00

Hellewww! At last the morning sickness has (almost) gone and my energy is slowly coming back. I'm not that tired like I used to be when I was in my 8th week where I can barely get to the kitchen from the living room.

So many unpleasant things happened in the office but I decided that it's not worth my time getting all worked up about it because my boss will forever be a DUMB @SSHOLE and I can safely say most people in the office agree with me.

Yes I am aware of the people in my office who read my blog (I also know those who read it secretly). And I just don't care. It's my blog I can write whatever I want and if you don't like it, don't read it.

Kapish?

Moving on to happy news. I'm fast approaching 15 weeks in my pregnancy and all is well and merry :) The only thing that's bugging me is the abdominal pain that I feel from to time. I believe my uterus is stretching. And I'm lucky that my bowel movement is excellent ;).

Anyway I gotta get back to work.

*yawn*

15 weeks pregnant

Your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 4 inches and she now weighs approximately 1.75 ounces. Your baby is close to the size of a softball and you can easily tell that you are pregnant now! If you wear maternity clothes or a swimming suit, other people will be able to tell that you are pregnant also. You can probably feel your uterus about three to four inches below your bellybutton.

If you do not yet have a due date, your doctor can easily determine an accurate due date based on the measurement of your baby's head. This is done by an ultrasound examination. Your doctor will be discussing upcoming tests and procedures with you around this time that are able to diagnose or confirm birth defects and other abnormalities.

Your baby is growing at an amazing rate and looking more like a human every day. Because your baby's skin is so thin, you are able to see blood vessels through the skin. Lanugo hair covers your baby's body, but it will be gone when your baby is born. The hair on the eyebrows and head continues to grow. Some babies are born with little or no hair and others have a head full of hair! If you have an ultrasound at this point, you might be able to see your baby sucking its thumb. Even though the eyes continue to move to the front of the face, they are still widely separated. Your baby's ears look like normal ears and continue to develop externally.

The bones that have already formed continue to get harder and retain calcium. The baby is very mobile and flexible at this point. She can bend her arms at the elbows and wrists and she can also make a fist with her hands.

Go On Girl - Neyo

2008-03-04T14:36:00.002+08:00

This is for all the good guys out there ;) I know a few (yes girls there are still good guys available around. You just gotta keep looking)

She was the bad girl

I'm thinking one girl

She thinking me, earl James and jimmy

Yep she had plenty

But love for me, she didn't have any

I was inviting, her into my heart

But she was out riding in some other man's car

She was my night time, thought I was her star

Guess I was wrong, but see I'm strong

Wont take long for me to move on

Please don't worry bout me I'm fine

(Please don't worry bout me I'm fine)

Only gonna play the fool one time

(Only gonna play the fool one time)

Trust me when I say

That I'll be OK

Go on girl(Go on girl)

Go on girl

I can't get it back, but

I don't want it back,

I realized that,

don't know how to act

Tried to settle down and look what I get

Thought it was my time, but I guess not yet

She at the bar getting drinks from many men

I'm in the house, thinking shes with her girlfriends

Trust not knowing, truly not knowing

I look back now like, man, I was open

I was inviting, her into my heart

But she was out riding in some other man's car

She was my night time, thought I was her star

Guess I was wrong, but see I'm strong

Wont take long for me to move on

The mistake I made is clear(we never should've been together)

Thats the reason you're not here(I know that I can do much better)

Not a single salty tear

Not a feeling in my chest

Baby I'm feeling no stressI'm too fly to be depressed

Go on Girl

Fire Fire Office Is On Fire!

2008-02-25T09:32:00.002+08:00

Woke up this morning and told Mr Frankie that I wish my office is on fire.

Mr Frankie went "What? Why do you say that?"

And I told him.. "I don't feel like going to work today"

Mr Frankie laughed so hard, he almost pee in his jammie.

I wonder what was so funny about that? I was really hoping that my office was on fire so I didn't have to go to work today.

Hmmmph Monday sure has a way of firing uo my imagination.

p/s : My office is not on fire and I'm already at work waiting for a meeting. Grrrrrrr!

E.X.H.A.U.S.T.E.D

2008-02-22T14:36:00.004+08:00

I am just oh so very tired today. My whole body aches and my head is spinning I just need to lie down for a little bit. But of course being in the office and all, I cant go and nap everytime I feel like it.

Didn't manage to get much sleep last nigh. I was just tossing and turning from around 2 a.m. til about 5ish a.m. and when I managed to doze off, it was already 5:30 a.m. and it was already time to get up.

*sighs*

Sometimes I envy women who have the luxury of staying home during their pregnancy. You ladies are darn lucky.

Weekend Here We Come

2008-02-22T10:19:00.004+08:00

I'm currently taking NeuroGainPB dietary supplement as instructed by my doctor. Anyway thanks to Leelwan's mommy for the advice. (leelwan is one CUTIE PIE! Check out her blog)

I'd also like to say thanks to Jason Roth of Roth Family Adventure for your concern. I didn't know that preggers are not allowed (or at lest not encouraged) to eat seafood for the level of mercury found in seafood. And congratulations to Roth Family Adventure for being awarded 'Excellent Blog' :)

It's Friday and that means tomorrow is the weekend. Hurrah!!! The last 2 weeks, Mr Frankie and I were on our feet most of the time so this weekend we are just going to do some house cleaning and just chill.

Ok gotta get back to work.

Take care people.

Frankie The Mean Eating Machine (12 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant...and counting)

2008-02-21T12:24:00.011+08:00

I know that this blog is dangerously becoming a pregnancy blog...but bear with me oui? :)

This is what I seems to be doing all the time. The last check-up I've gained 1.5kg in 1 month! That's so not very good but I've been told that's the normal weight gain. But still this weight gain is making me back hurts very much.

And my skin is all blotchy and I have small pimples all over my boobies (esp) yucky...

I think I might've felt Peanut kicking but I can't tell for sure. It might be gas. But I feel this little 'knock' from time to time which is kinda cool :) If it was really Peanut, then he/she is a kicker for sure.

My constant companions these days are...

and

My belly is starting to get all itchy. I used to use cocoa butter but I find Mothercare's massage cream is way way much better and much cheaper than the cocoa butter cream that I used previously.

I have this craving for chili crabs/seafood. Anyone knows a good place to go have seafood (that won't break my pocket as I plan to take the whole family (9 of us!) for seafood eating frenzy session)

I'll be 13 weeks pregnant this coming Saturday.

13 weeks fetus (3D scan)

This is the last week of your first trimester and your baby weighs 14 to 20 grams. The crown-to-rump length of your growing baby is 2.6 to 3.1 inches. Your baby is now about the size of a peach. Fetal growth is amazing from now through about the 24th week of pregnancy. At this point of your pregnancy, there is a steady flow of pregnancy hormones in your bloddstream. Your body will adjust to the changes and morning sickness might stop and other early symptoms will begin to ease. Because the second trimester is approaching, feelings of anxiety or nervousness may also diminish. You have probably gained some weight by now. You are losing your waist and your clothing is probably fitting snugly.

There is a milky membrane that surrounds your baby. It is pierced by the umbilical cord and is made up of two layers, which are fused together. Your placenta provides most of the nutrients and oxygen that your baby needs. By this week, the placenta is well formed and ready to take over hormone manufacture from your ovaries. The placenta will produce progesterone and estriol. These hormones will be crucial in the maintenance of your pregnancy. Tissue that will form your baby's bones is being laid down, especially around the head and limbs. The nose and chin are becoming more prominent.

Your baby's eyelids meet and fuse together and they will not open again for nearly four months. The eyes started out on the side of your baby's head and they are now moving closer together on the face. The ears come to lie in their normal position on the sides of the head. If examined outside of the womb, you will be able to distinguish male from female at this time. The sockets for all twenty teeth are formed in the gums, and vocal cords are beginning to form.

*sighs*

I'm beginning to feel very attach to Peanut. Not that I don't feel attach to him/her before, but feeling him/her kicking and seeing him moving last week makes me realised that I have this wonderful thing growing in my belly, and I just feel this intense LOVE all over. And I fell in love with Mr Frankie all over again everytime I see him fussing over things that I should eat, shouldn't eat, have I taken my vitamins today, how he makes sure that I'm comfy all the time, how he is just all calm and collected everytime I get all biatch (it's the hormones, I swear!). I'm truly grateful for such a wonderful husband...

Ok enough of the mushy things hehehehe.

I can't wait for my MC catalogue to arrive! And I'll post my 13 weeks belly soon :)

Sofiya The Cheeky Chikadee

2008-02-19T13:35:00.009+08:00

Whenever I get all stressed out, all I need to do to calm down is to look at Sofiya's pictures :) She is just so adorable and not to mention very very cheeky too ;)

Peanut the Jumping Bean

2008-02-18T08:26:00.004+08:00

We went for our third ultrasound scan last Saturday and we were thrilled to se our little Peanut jumping around and waving at us!

I was kinda expecting to see the little bean jumping as I have been reading a lot about pregnancy but Mr Frankie was very very surprised to see Peanut shaking his/her bon bon (obviously Mr Frankie has not been reading the pregnancy book that we bought. Hmmph!)

Anyway we were delighted to know that our Peanut is healthy and he is now about 6.8 cm. We also saw his beautiful spine and his heart was beating strongly. I have yet to feel his movement but the doctor said it won't be long before I could feel him kicking. I can't wait! :)

However, I have been told that my BP is quite high 133/88 and it is a bit of a concern to me as I know that high BP could lead to pre-eclampsia. The doctor have asked me to rest and relax and try not to get all worked up. I told my doctor that work can get pretty stressful (esp with a boss like mine!). She said I need to learn to calm down and just take things in stride.

*sighs* I guess I really do not have a choice but to calm down and learn how to relax.

Any tips people?

And I learn that morning sickness doesn't only happen during day time. It also happens during night/very early in the morning too. I have been waking up at 3 a.m. the last week just to eat. Good thing that we have 24 hours McDonalds just around the corner. Mr Frankie was there at 3 a.m. in his 'kain pelikat' (sarong) getting me McD's breakfast *grins*

I also learn that emotional threat works like a charm.

Told Mr Frankie that if he refuses to buy me food, I'll turn this baby into an Arsenal/Liverpool/Chelsea fan (thanks to Diyana for this tip ;)). Hahahahahaha!

Mr Frankie now do whatever it takes to make sure that this baby is a Man U fan. I was once asked to sit down with Mr Frankie to watch a 2-hour Man U Greatest Moment on DVD. Hmmph!

Anyway I'd like to say thank you to those who wrote/e-mail to me on pregnancy tips and also to all well wishes. I really appreciate it very much *hugs*

By the by, now that we know that Peanut is already jumping and waving and kicking, Mr Frankie is scared to ummm...do the horizontal lambada fearing that Peanut would have a shock of his life if he sees his daddy's umm...birdie. I told Mr Frankie that Peanut is oblivious to that but that doesn't seems to convince him. I am to call the doctor today to confirm that it's ok to rompy romp.

Heheheheh!

Have a good week people.

My First Belly Shot (11 weeks and 3 days pregnant)

2008-02-13T07:59:00.003+08:00

And I look H.U.G.E! And I'm only (almost) 3 months along! And look at my boobies. I've changed size twice is 3 months.

And my nose seems to expand too!

I just have to lay off the Tropicana and no more 'nasik lemak' for me.

And remember when I said that my morning sick has subsided? Well guess what? The last couple of days, it became worse. I vomit almost every morning. Brushing my teeth is almost impossible let alone gargling. I'm super super tired all the time. By the time I get home from work I have just enough energy to shower and have a bite and I'll be snoring by 9 p.m. And I even cried watching when Pamela and Vanessa scooping the elephants poo poo in The Amazing Race Asia (?!)

Anyway we started buying some baby stuffs. I know it's way too early but we just couldn't resist! We got Mr Frankie his diaper bag. He refuses to carry any floral type of diaper bag (sheesh) so we bought this 'macho' diaper bag at Maison de Bebe in Bangsar Village (after we stuffed our face with roti canai at Mahbub heheheh). Maison de Bebe was having a sale and I was also looking for the Bumbo seat which comes only in pink. Well I'm not a big pink fan so we'll try and find it somewhere else.

We saw some strollers too at MC The Curve and we found one that we like though we'd like to compare the price first before we buy it. And this week we'll be hunting for a baby doppler (thanks Eintanz I'll go and have a look at Babyland in Summit).

On another note, work sucks. No, work's ok but my boss sucks. I was on MC last week because I had high fever and flu and cough you name it I got it. My boss was really angry that I had 2 days MC that he told me " Next time if you want to take your MC tell me at least 2 days in advance!"

Can you please tell me how stupid can a Senior Manager be? I mean really?

*sighs*

Well I better get going. Meeting in an hour.

Toodles!

Doppler

2008-02-06T16:23:00.000+08:00

Does anyone know where I can (preferably) buy or rent a Doppler? Been looking around but can't seems to find one.

And I'm also on a look out for a good OB/GYN. Any suggestions?

I'm 10 weeks 3 days along today :) the morning sickness is till there but not as bad as when I was in my 6th week. Can't wait for my next ultrasound appointment next week :)

I have been meaning to leave comments whenever I blog surf but I am so just lazy bum bum. My bad especially those who left comments on my blog. Sorry. Promise to get around dropping comments soonest possible.

I have started showing (a little). Most of my clothes are getting a little snug around the waist and Mr Frankie said that my mid-sec looks rounder than usual (being chubby, my mid-sec is always round heheheheh!) Though we know that the baby is not able to hear us yet, Mr Frankie and I talk to Peanut all the time :)

So far I've lost 8 lbs! But I guess I'll gain more than that anytime soon as my appetite is getting way way better. Wasn't able to eat any rice at all the last 6 weeks. The morning sickness is supposed to go away very soon as the placenta is fully formed in the next couple of weeks.

Cravings? I don't think so though I have to say that I 'need' to eat 'Tropicana' ice cream (that green ice cream with vanilla fillings in the middle) everyday. I know it's empty calories and it's not good for me but if I don't eat one, I'll get really restless. Sent Mr Frankie to 7-11 a couple of times to get Tropicana, so now he makes sure the freezer is always full of Tropicana :) (bless Mr Frankie)

And just like any new-parents-to-be we have our concerns esp financial concern but I believe that things will go well. We have become extra careful with money now. We plan to set up a bank account the moment Peanut is born. Then there's insurance. College funds.

Oh my....

Well I can't wait for Chinese New Year holiday. Told Mr Frankie that I must go to Raju's for some masala tosai ;)

To all bloggers who are celebrating CNY, Happy Chinese New Year. Be safe on the road.

H0rny Bunny

2008-02-05T10:21:00.000+08:00

Ever since I got pregnant, I find myself ummm......quite 'in the mood' most of the time.

I mean, Mr Frankie is scared of getting undress in front of me now. And he won't let me jump in the shower with him no more.

He even ask me to 'go slow'!

Yikes!

And I get 'very in the mood' in the morning when I wake up. There was even an occasion where I woke Mr Frankie up at 3 a.m. for some good loving.

I never do that before. At times I caught myself thinking of what I'll do to Mr Frankie once we get home!

What is the matter with me? Is this normal??

I'm one h0rny bunny! Hahahahahah

Peanut :)

2008-02-04T12:15:00.000+08:00

Hola! Oh my the last couple of weeks have been crazyyyyyyy! This baby of ours has pretty much turned our world upside down inside out up and down and round and round, and he's not even born yet! ;)

Anyway, I have loads to post but for now I'm just going to let you have a peek at our Peanut, our baby :) Well we call him Peanut because he looks like one.

My weekend is pretty much spent doing absolutely nothing because I have zero energy to do anything at all. Thanks to Mr Frankie who seems to be doing all the chores around the house, including making me cheese sandwiches and hot Milo, which are the only things that I manage to hold down. He even did all the laundry, the vacuuming, the ironing, the everything. Love you D *kiss kiss*

I better get going. With Diyana not around, there is nothing much that I can do to amuse myself. I at times find myself making jokes to my chair and table and laughing out loud.

Crazy hormones make you do crazy things.

Tata!

Heath Ledger Dead

2008-01-24T07:34:00.000+08:00

This is sad. He is a pretty good actor.

January 22, 2008 --
Oscar-nominated actor Heath Ledger was found naked and dead in his SoHo apartment yesterday after he apparently overdosed on anti-anxiety pills.

The 28-year-old star's ex-fiancée, actress Michelle Williams, was flying to New York from Sweden with their 2-year-old daughter Matilda, her father said. Larry Williams told the Daily Telegraph in Australia. "My heart goes out to everyone, his family, my family, we are just very saddened. The saddest thing is his daughter who he just loved dearly."

While some sources said Ledger was depressed, the actor's father, Kim, later released a statement declaring his son's death "accidental."

One cop at the scene said it did not appear to be suicide, but police were still investigating, and an autopsy is scheduled for today.

Ledger was found by his maid and the masseuse with whom he had a scheduled 3 p.m. appointment at his $23,000-a-month, three-bedroom loft at 421 Broome St. When the two women entered his bedroom at about 3:20 p.m., Ledger was nude, lying face down and unresponsive, police sources said.

Pills were strewn around the bed, and there was a bottle next by the actor's body, police sources said. The maid and therapist called 911 at about 3:26 p.m. Emergency workers were unable to revive the star, and he was pronounced dead at 3:35 p.m.

Bottles of the generic forms of Xanax and Valium, both anti-anxiety drugs prescribed in his name, were found in the house, according to law-enforcement sources. The sleeping drug Ambien was also found near his body, sources said. The maid said she last heard the star snoring around noon.

"We are investigating the possibility of an overdose," NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said.

"There were pills within the vicinity of the bed."

One police source said "it does not appear to be a suicide." Ledger, a native of Perth, Australia, had lived in Brooklyn with Williams and Matilda, but the couple split last year. He has since been romantically linked to a slew of women, from Aussie supermodel Gemma Ward to Long Island bad girl Lindsay Lohan.

Insurance

2008-01-09T16:35:00.000+08:00

I'm on a look out for a good insurance to buy.

No, I do not have one currently and yes I know I should have one already :P

So anyone, any advice?

Barf! Barf! Barf!

2008-01-09T08:12:00.000+08:00

Ever since I found out I was pregnant, this has been my morning ritual. Not that anything came out when I puke, which in a way is kind of worse than actually puking something. It hurts my stomach so much.

I read that taking some crackers before getting out of bed helps. Errr...no. The last time I ate some crackers, that some crackers came out of me and into the toilet bowl 5 minutes later. I'm just so tired and oh..lets not talk about the headache :( I do not want to take aspirin or anything. Not until I consulted my doctor.

Can I take aspirin? Panadol maybe?

And I know now that 'morning sickness' restricted not only to morning time, it's all the time. I don't think my morning sickness is that bad but I do fell nauseous all day long. But what's worse, I have turned into a FEROCIOUS EATING MONSTER! Yes I have! I had Kentucky Fried Chicken, some waffles, Dominos' pepperoni pizza, McChicken from McDonald's, cinnamon buns from Cinnabon and 3 scoops of Haagen-Dasz's Rocky Road, just last night!

Oh god, I'm turning into Diyana!

Anyway, I think I need to get something to eat now. I feel the puking coming.

Muahahahahahahahaha!

Being Pregnant Is Cool

2008-01-08T10:39:00.000+08:00

I think I like being pregnant :)

Half an hour after I've announced my pregnancy I have received Anmum and folic acid from Diyana

And Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula for Stretch Marks from Aneera.

A friend has also promised me a few pregnancy books.

*grins*

So please do not be shy I accept all kinds of donation (preferably something sweet and chocolaty and yummy for me to satisfy this new found hunger of mine).

And I fail to function without this..

...I even put some in my mouth :D

Boobie Baby

2008-01-08T07:49:00.000+08:00

I woke up this morning and felt like I have 2 huge melons stuck to my chest.

Where did they come from??

Apparently this is one of many many pregnancy signs. My boobies are sore and they will grow bigger over the next 7 months.

You should see the look on Mr Frankie's face when he saw my boobies this morning. He looked like a boy in a candy store.

Hehehehe!

Been reading a lot about first trimester pregnancy and I have to say it's the scariest time of the whole pregnancy period. 1 in 5 women experience miscarriage in their first trimester. And since I am 31 this year, the risk is higher.

Anyway, I'm not going to think so much about that. I am just going to enjoy my morning sickness and hope for the best.

7 Weeks and Counting

2008-01-07T18:35:00.000+08:00

If our calculation is right, we are 7 weeks pregnant!

Hurrah!

*grins*

That explains why I was feeling very bleurgh the last couple of months.

*grins*

Mr. Frankie is very happy. I am very happy.

We are estatic!

But but but...it's still very very tiny and there are a lot of risks involved in the first trimester so we try not to be 'too' happy.

*grins*

Wish us luck :)

When you are between 6 and 7 weeks pregnant, you may be experiencing the early signs of pregnancy: your period has stopped, nausea, breast changes, frequent urination, and fatigue. The picture above shows how the uterus has begun to grow at 6 and 7 weeks pregnant and has become more ovoid or egg-shaped. The pressure of the growing uterus on the bladder causes frequent urination.During these weeks, your breasts may have begun to increase in size.

Some women may also experience tingling sensations and breast or nipple tenderness. By the end of the second month, the nipples and areolar areas also develop deeper pigmentation. In the picture above, the beginnings of the placenta can be seen in the uterus. The embryo is about one quarter to one half an inch long and weighs one thousandth (0.001) of an ounce. The head is large in proportion to the rest of the body.

The internal organs have formed and the baby's heart has been beating since the end of the 4th week. The baby is floating in the amniotic sac. Buds for the arms and legs emerged in the 5th week, and by the 7th week little buds for fingers and toes also appear. The umbilical cord is lengthening and will continue to grow allowing the baby freedom to move. The 7th week represents a milestone in development: the embryo is now considered a fetus.

Yawns

2008-01-07T07:55:00.000+08:00

This was how I was pretty much the whole of last weekend. I did nothing but sleep alternately between my bed and the couch in front of the tv. There's something in the weather, it makes me feel so darn tired all the time.

And waking up this morning was a torture. I feel like I didn't even sleep at all :( And my energy level is constantly at 0...

*yawns*

My oh my...

Chua Soi Lek Resigns

2008-01-03T10:27:00.000+08:00

PUTRAJAYA: Health Minister and MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, who has admitted he was the subject of a sex video widely circulated in Johor, resigned from all government and party posts yesterday.

Dr Chua said he had written to the prime minister, deputy prime minister and MCA president to quit as health minister immediately.

He will also be stepping down as Labis MP, party vice-president, Johor MCA liaison committee chairman and Batu Pahat division chairman.

Dr Chua's announcement was a dramatic about-turn from his statement just a day before in which he confessed he was the person caught on video having sex with a "personal friend" but refused to relinquish his cabinet or party positions.

He said despite his admission and apology, he found that the public still could not accept what he did.

He said he had hoped that the people would forgive him but based on feedback, they couldn't. He said some Malaysians had a "holier-than-thou attitude".

Oh please lah. Just resign already.

Pffffth!

The New Proton BLM

2008-01-02T16:39:00.000+08:00

Decided to do some googling on the new Proton and found this on http://www.paultan.org/.

Looks a lil bit like Vios (from the side). I don't know....

"Proton dealers will be accepting official bookings for the new Proton Saga replacement known to us as the Proton BLM tomorrow. TV3 reports quoting official Proton sources that the 1.3 liter 4 door sedan will be sold at prices of between RM30,000 to RM35,000.

The new Proton Saga replacement will be launched in early January 2008 - for more details please refer to the many previous posts below which covered the topic, or just have a look at the Proton BLM category"

The price is very reasonable though I guess that is because of its 1.3 engine. Mr Frankie is scouting for a new ride. Was at the Proton showroom yesterday looking at Persona. I'm not a big fan of Persona though I have to say it's quite spacious. And it drives well too.

Well I guess we are just going to take our time and look around before we decided on a car to buy. We just want something economical and comfy.

I'm just oh so exhausted all the time these days.

I think it's the heat. It's so hot out there yes?....

I was on leave the last 5 days and all I did was just lazed around on the couch doing absolutely nothing. I just didn't have the energy to do anything at all and I can barely be out of the house more than 10 minutes.

I think it's the heat. Mr Frankie and I were supposed to go to the Zoo Negara last weekend as Mr Frankie was anxious to try his new camera. Sorry darling, we go next time ok?

By the way, was watching the news 2 days ago and found out that Proton is coming out with a new model? Is that true?

Urgh...I think I need to lie down. My head is spinning....

Health Minister in S3x Tape Scandal

2008-01-02T09:04:00.000+08:00

Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek and his wife, Datin Seri Wong Sek Hin, in a 2002 file picture. Wong has issued a statement forgiving that her husband has the support of his family, adding that Chua has not shirked his responsibilities y as a husband and father.

But he's not resigning.

Sex tape not made by me, says health ministerLABIS: Health Minister and MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek has admitted that he was the person caught on video having sex with a woman, copies of which have been widely distributed in Johor and elsewhere.

"I am the man in the tape," he said at a press conference held at the MCA Labis Service Centre yesterday. Dr Chua was composed during the 12-minute press conference, which was also attended by some 200 leaders and members from his MCA Labis division.

He repeatedly apologised to Malaysians, colleagues and supporters for the indiscretion, and thanked them "for their concern and support through phone calls and SMSes".

He said he had also apologised to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, his deputy Datuk Seri Najib Razak and MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting.

However, he said he would not quit his government and party positions.Ong said he had noted Dr Chua's statement and would convene an emergency presidential meeting today."It is an important matter for the party leadership to discuss," he said.

Reading a prepared statement, Dr Chua described the woman in the DVD as "a friend". He did not elaborate and said he did not know when the recording was made.

"I would like to emphasise that I did not make the tape myself.

"Who has done this and why it was done is obvious. Who made this tape is not important any more," he said, suggesting that it was his political enemies who were behind it.

"What is most important is that my family, wife and children have accepted my apology." He appealed to the media to give his family space "during this difficult time".

Fielding questions after reading the statement, Dr Chua said he would consider lodging a police report on the DVD although the police had already started investigations.

Benazir Bhutto Killed In Attack

2007-12-31T11:58:00.000+08:00

Out of all the things that happened in 2007, I have to say, this one shocked me the most....

Pakistani former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated in a suicide attack.

Ms Bhutto - the first woman PM in an Islamic state - was leaving an election rally in Rawalpindi when a gunman shot her in the neck and set off a bomb.

At least 20 other people died in the attack and several more were injured.

President Pervez Musharraf has urged people to remain calm but angry protests have gripped some cities, with at least 11 deaths reported.

Security forces have been placed on a state of "red alert" nationwide.

There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the attack. Analysts believe Islamist militants to be the most likely group behind it.

*sighs* it's just so sad.

Anyway, Mr Frankie and I wish all of you Happy New Year and he is to a better year.

Hi There I'm Frankie and I'm an Addict

The Soya Bean Shop

2007-12-17T10:56:00.000+08:00

Last weekend I was craving for some soya bean drinks and the only place that I know that sells really good authentic soya bean is in Plaza Damas and it's called "The Soya Shop". Let me tell you the soya products are just so super deliciousness and you can really taste the soya without all the additional preservatives and sweetness.

The it's not expensive at all and more importantly it's healthy and nutritious :)

Mr Frankie had 2 glasses of warm soya milk and I had this.....

I'm not too sure what you call it because everytime I go there I would just point at the menu and the girl would get it for me :D.

I had the one with the chocolate filling. So far it's my favourite. The sweetness of the chocolate filling goes very very well with the creaminess of the unsweetened soya milk.

Yummy yum!

Now I'm craving for some chili crab! Anyone knows a really good place to eat chili crab?

Going Virgin

2007-12-17T07:56:00.000+08:00

With the holiday season just around the corner, thought I'll post some recipes for non-alcoholic drinks (that usually contains alcohol) for those who are planning to have a party and wouldn't want to serve alcoholic drinks.

I had my first virgin sangria at a new years' party last year. Mark and Elizabeth was so nice to made us some virgin sangria since they know that Mr Frankie and I do no consume alcohol. And I have to say it's super delicious. It's just so easy to make!

WHITE GRAPE JUICE SANGRIA:
Peel the skin of 1 orange into one long spiral.
Repeat with a lemon.
Fill a large pitcher with ice.
Add 1 28-oz bottle of white grape juice, 1 32-oz bottle of seltzer, the juice of the orange and the lemon, and the orange and lemon zest spirals.
Stir well.
Pour into wineglasses and garnish each with a slice of lime.
Serves 8.

Another of my favourite is the raspberry daquiris. This yummy drinks would surely qunche your thirst on a hot sunny day.

RASPBERRY DAIQUIRIS
Raspberry daiquiris are a cool and fruity concoction designed to be delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day. Ice and fruit are blended together in this festive ruby-colored drink. Follow these steps to make a non-alcoholic raspberry daiquiri.

1/2 ounce lemon juice
2 ounces apple juice
1 tsp castor sugar
3 ounces raspberry puree

1. Add 3 ounces of raspberry puree to a blender.
2. Add 2 ounces of apple juice to the blender.
3. Add 1/2 of an ounce of lemon juice to the blender.
4. Add 1 teaspoon of castor sugar to the blender.
5. Add 1/2 of an ounce of raspberry syrup.
6. Blend the ingredients with a handful of crushed ice, then serve in a goblet glass.

Now this is Mr Frankie's favourite. A virgin Singapore sling is a nonalcoholic cousin of the world-famous Singapore sling, which uses cherry brandy instead of cherry juice. This recipe makes one serving.

SINGAPORE SLING
2 oz. cherry juice
club soda
cracked ice
1/2 oz. lime juice
lime wedge
1 maraschino cherries

1. Fill a chilled collins glass with cracked ice.
2. Add cherry juice and lime juice and stir.
3. Top off with soda water and stir.
4. Garnish with lime wedge and maraschino cherry.

CHEERS!

*slurrrrppssss*

2007-12-13T09:08:00.000+08:00

I have 3 meetings in a row today!

I promise to be fully alert and pay attention to what you ding dongs are going to say today.

Superstaaaaaaar!

2007-12-13T08:02:00.000+08:00

Mr Frankie is currently obsessed with "Keeping Up With the Kardashians". Well, who wouldn't be obsessed when you have Kim Kardashian going around in skimpy nothings!

Even my little brother who is supposedly studying very very hard in Uniten sms me and ask me whether I can go and get him the box set for the reality TV show.

Boys will always be boys huh? :P

I hate the show. Don't ask :P

So now our Favourite in the Astro programming includes channel 712 (or is it 714?)

I am not really a big fan of tv reality show but I have to say that I'm hooked on "Kimora : Life In The Fab Lane". I know a lot of people would say that she's quite a beyatch but I do not see it that way. It's not easy being a (ex) model, a mogul and a mother to two very naughty little girls, Aoki Lee and Ming Lee. I think she works very hard for her family and fashin is not an easy industry to be involved in, oui?

Hmm, do we have Phat Farm and Baby Phat here in Malaysia? I know I saw her other label, "KLS" somewhere earlier this year in KL.

We may like different things when it comes to tv reality show, but one thing that we share in common is that we L.O.V.E to watch "Gene Simmons Family Jewels"

Gene Simmons was the singer of the rock 80s group "KISS". But I think he was more famous for his super long tounge!

Gene Simmons never strikes me as a funny family man. And not just that, he is also a devoted father to two of his children and a loving partner to Shannon Tweed, his babymomma for 20 over years.

So folks that is how Mr Frankie and I spend our weekends. We laze around and watch tv all day :)

Stapled!

2007-12-12T10:32:00.001+08:00

This is what happened when I had too much Nescafe to drink mid-morning.

I accidentally stapled my baju kurung to my document.

Diyana was laughing so hard that her belly moves from side to side. I think she peed in her pants too.

I need a good Thai massage to clear my head. Some beating ought to do me some good.

I woke up this morning believing that today is Friday.

So not good for my mental health.

Gegerl the Drama Princess

2007-12-12T08:51:00.000+08:00

Taking Gegerl to the vet proves to be a battle for me and Mr Frankie. That girl is such a drama princess and she makes sure that we are aware of that too! Just take a look at the photos the day we took her to the vet. She would scream and cry and wail and kick and bite.

Since she is daddy's girl, Mr Frankie was tasked with the job to pacify her before we put her in the voyager.

The calm before the storm.

And so the 'drama' begins!

"Let me out of here!"

Her usual trick will be licking my fingers begging to be let out of the cage.

More licking before.....

OUCH!

Before realizing that any form of resistance is futile.

We used to bring our older cats to a vet in Ara Damansara, which is now quite far from Shah Alam where we are currently residing. So Mt Frankie suggested that we took Gegerl to a vet near the Section 6 market which is just 5 minutes drive.

Gegerl was given an injection and she was a brave little girl as she didn't even scream or flip out as she would normally do.

Later we gave her some ice-cream as a reward :)

People's Freedom Walk

2007-12-11T11:08:00.000+08:00

Five lawyers and four non-governmental organisations representatives who had joined in the illegal ‘People’s Freedom Walk’ being escorted by officers to be bailed out. They are (from left) Sivarasa Rasiah, Noorazah Othman, N. Surendran, Amer Hamzah Arshad, Latheefa Bibi Koya, Eric Paulsen, Indian national Ashraf Ali Sada Katullah, Edmund Bon and Johny Andu @ Abu Bakar Adnan.

Well illegal demonstrations seems to be the trend these days eh? I wonder what can you achieve by doing so?

I'm not sure whether this is even an appropriate thing to do putting this picture up but I just hafta!....

;)

David Beckham is now modeling Armani Underwear ad campaign. I guess with his football days are coming to an end, he is now cashing on whatever he can get his hands on. He is reportedly to be paid $20 mil for the next 3 years for the Armani Underwear ad campaign.

Lucky Posh Spice ;)

2007-12-07T07:48:00.000+08:00

Do you know that one in six malaysians have some kind of psychological problem?

Hmmmph now it all make sense....

Had a good chat with an old friend from Uni. Her current office is at the Petronas Twin Tower with a view to kill. She is a very successful person in what she is doing. She drives an Audi TT, bought a bungalow in Damansara Heights, has a collection of Manolo Blahniks and Jimmy Choos and god-knows-what-else. Annual vacation includes Paris, Monte Carlo, New York, Spain. Her children are all sent to boarding schools all over Europe. And she has a very handsome, very rich husband who adores her and only her.

...and she tried committing suicide...twice in the last 2 years.

Isn't that just sad?....

I'm still wondering what triggered her to do such thing. I dare not ask.

Mon Oncle

2007-12-06T13:46:00.000+08:00

My dear uncle came down for a visit from Penang last week. So after we picked him up from Shah Village where he was staying for the duration of his training, we went for breakfast in Plaza Damas. My uncle wanted to get some...errrr cheap dvds and the only place we know is Plaza Damas. We used to frequent Section 14 in Petaling Jaya but the place was closed about a year back.

Anyway, I am very very close to this uncle of mine. We literally grew up together when we were staying in Beach Street in Penang where my grandfather worked as a policeman. Since my Mom and my Dad travelled a lot and I was too young to be taken to places, I stayed with my grandparents.

Just like any young children, we argued a lot...and I mean a lot. And when we argued, we did not just screamed and shout, we punched and kicked too. There was a time where we had a fight and he was punching my face (he was way bigger than me) and I couldn't do anything but bite his chubby stomach. I bit so hard that it left a mark on him until now :)

And as we grew older, he was later sent to a boarding school in Perak and I was sent to a boarding school in Seremban. When school holidays came, we'd take the same KTM train and I would meet him when my train stopped in Ipoh station.

Now that we are all grown up, we became closer than ever before. I can talk to him about anything and vice versa.

And he is the proud father of Baby Sofiya!

Beast and the 'Beastier'

2007-12-04T13:40:00.000+08:00

Diyana and I have been told, on numerous occasions that our husbands are waaaaaaaaaay better looking than us.

"Tak padan langsung lah korang ni", so we were told. ("You and your husband doesn't match at all")

???

We are not too sure whether to take it as a compliment or an insult.

What kind of people say these kinda things??

LIMA Tragedy

2007-12-03T09:49:00.000+08:00

LANGKAWI: Three paratroopers, two of them women, drowned when strong winds blew them and 17 others out to sea while they were rehearsing for the opening day of Lima '07.

Eleven others were injured in the 10.15am incident, two of them critically. Five of the injured were women.They were among 138 paratroopers who jumped from a height of 333 metres from two C-130 Hercules transport aircraft over the Langkawi International Airport.

The paratroopers were rehearsing for the opening show of Lima '07 tomorrow, where they will simulate an airfield seizure.Ranger Siti Hajar Yakub, 24, died at the scene while private Nurul Wahida Mohamad Yunus, 20, and trooper Raimon Duncan, 25, died at the Langkawi Hospital.

Doctors spent more than an hour trying to resuscitate Nurul Wahida and Raimon but to no avail. The two were declared dead before noon.Siti Hajar, of Masjid Tanah in Malacca, was attached to the 8 Ranger Parawin while Nurul Wahida, of Tanjung Malim, Perak, was with the 17 Royal Malay Regiment Parawin.Raimon, of Simunjan, Sarawak, was attached to the Squadron Armour Para.

Of the two critically injured, Suraya Ali, 23, is warded at the hospital's intensive care unit while Zaliza Zakaria, also 23, was flown to the Alor Star Hospital for emergency surgery. Both suffered broken ribs and punctured lungs.

One of the other nine injured was given outpatient treatment while the rest were warded at the Langkawi Hospital for various injuries.District police chief Supt Mohamed Ali Jamaluddin said the group was among 138 paratroopers from the 10th Para Brigade based at the Terendak Camp in Malacca who jumped over the airport.

There were 80 troops in each aircraft but it was unclear why the rest did not jump.It is possible that jumpmasters aboard the aircraft stopped the jumps when the group got into trouble.

Sources said jumpmasters had gauged wind speed readings and had given the green light for the jump. But an easterly wind picked up as the paratroopers were descending, blowing some of them 200m off course out to the sea between the water breakers and the beach in Pantai Cenang.

Some of the injured touched down on dry land, but not before crashing through branches and breaking their bones.Mohamed Ali said a search-and-rescue operation comprising 70 members of the navy, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, the Fire and Rescue Department, marine police and hospital emergency staff was launched but it was a while before the first body was found.

"The operation was called off at 12.53pm once it was established that all the paratroopers were accounted for," he said at Langkawi Hospital.Post-mortems on the paratroopers were completed by 7pm. After their bodies were cleaned, the remains of Nurul Wahida and Siti Hajar were taken to the hospital's surau for prayers.

All three were transported to the airport from where the body of Raimon was flown to Kuching and those of Nurul Wahida and Siti Hajar were flown to the Subang air base. From there, they were transported to their hometowns for burial.

Royal Malaysian Air Force chief Gen Tan Sri Azizan Ariffin said the airfield-seizure simulation would go on as planned tomorrow.He said yesterday's rehearsal was to have been held last Saturday but had been postponed due to "unforeseen circumstances" and was meant to be the last before the actual show.

Azizan said there would be another jump today to prepare for the show.

The Professional Jeweller

Getting married is one of the most important stages in any person's life. The excitement of picking the dress, deciding the menu for the reception, the honeymoon, & most of all picking a ring.

My brother is going through all these phases when she and her long time girlfriend decided to tie the knot. He popped the question to her one fine day, after working up the nerve and rehearsing several times in front of the mirror. After browsing through catalogues of diamond engagement rings, he picked a beautiful one which he thought would be perfect for her.

The ring was beautiful and the diamond was stunning. I asked my brother where he bought such an enchanting solitaire. To my surprise he gave me a URL to a site. He further added that customers could purchase diamonds, and rings for all occasions at this website. Whether it's for an engagement or diamond wedding rings, anybody could get it there. There was even a pre-design ring service.

He died on the spot.The suspect's wife called the police and he was picked up from their house and remanded for six days. District police chief ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed said the motive of the attack was being investigated.

According to Muhamad's younger sister, who did not want to be identified, the deceased was single and an odd-job worker. Muhamad, previously known as Ng Soon Chuan, was the fourth of seven siblings.

Miss World 2007

2007-12-02T19:20:00.000+08:00

SANYA: Pre-contest favourite Miss China won the Miss World 2007 title in her own country on Saturday, much to the delight of the audience, in front of an estimated two billion viewers around the globe.

Twenty-three-year-old Zhang Zilin was crowned the winner in Sanya, China. Miss Angola came second and Miss Mexico third at the beauty pageant, held on the southern holiday island of Hainan, dubbed China's answer to Hawaii.

Two billion people in 200 countries were expected to tune in to watch the show, which saw Miss China take the crown ahead of 105 of the world's most beautiful and talented women. The audience in the 2,000-capacity Beauty Crown Theatre, specially built for when Sanya first hosted the event in 2003, roared in delight as Zhang was crowned the winner. The secretary from Beijing was the pre-contest favourite with British bookmakers, along with Miss Dominican Republic.

At 182 centimetres (six feet), Miss China was also the tallest contestant. "There are 1.3 billion people behind me," Miss China said during the 40-second interview stage of the contest, referring to her country's population. "If I win I want to become a link between the Olympic Games (in Beijing next year) and the Miss World Organisation." "I want to use the power and beauty of Miss World to support those in need," she said, speaking throughout in hesitant English, adding a few words in Chinese.

Fireworks exploded above the crown-shaped theatre, where visitors had paid up to 300 US dollars for tickets, after the popular decision was made. Miss Mexico had also been strongly fancied, although Miss Angola was a surprise top-three finisher. Contestants were rated on an array of disciplines including physical fitness, style, dress, personality and beauty. The 106 was whittled down to 16, then five, with hotly tipped Miss Dominican Republic not making the final five.

I wonder when will Malaysia would make the list...wait a minute? Who represented Malaysia?

'Wedding Of The Year' Couple Granted Divorce

2007-11-30T09:27:00.000+08:00

KUANTAN: Their wedding made headlines last year when the bride was presented with lavish gifts, including a hantaran (gift) worth RM444,444.44 and a BMW worth RM250,000.

However, the RM3.5 million nuptials, dubbed the "wedding of the year" at the time, did not have a happy ending.Yesterday, the 51-year-old groom Datuk Roslan Hashim, officially divorced Datin Puteri Shahanaz Hazlin Hamdan, 25, with talak satu at the Syariah High Court here.

For their wedding in September last year, Puteri Shahanaz was presented, in addition to the hantaran and BMW, a RM150,000 jewellery set, a diamond ring worth RM20,000, designer items and a dowry of RM22,222.22.The hantaran was said to be the highest ever given to a bride.

Lavish, expensive, over-the-top wedding does not guarantee happy marriage. I have friends who are willing to take up loan up to RM20,000.00 just to have a lavish engagement (not wedding mind you) so just she 'won't lose face' and have a grand occasion.

I pity her. Such shallow individual for someone who graduate from Harvard Business School.

But before you say anything, this is just my opinion. If you have money to burn, by all means have the best wedding ever.

But if you can't afford to have a RM5k wedding gown, don't go and borrow money so you can have one. That is just plain stupid.

This Is Too Cute!

I received this in the e-mail yesterday. The title of the e-mail was "Kisah Buang Anak Lagi" (Story of Abandoned Children).

I have received many emails with regards to abandoned newborn babies found in dumpsters and all so I was pretty reluctant to open the e-mail.

But when I found this picture in the e-mail I instantly laughed. The cats look so cozy and comfy :)

And they are just so adorable. This e-mail made my day yesterday so I hope it'll make yours today.

Boy Caught Fire At Petrol Station

2007-11-30T09:14:00.000+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: A 3-year-old who suffered 70 per cent burns on his body when a pump nozzle at a petrol station caught fire may need plastic surgery.

The family of Muhammad Ikmal Imran Ahmad Nizam plans to file a suit against the petrol station for negligence.

Speaking at a press conference at the office of lawyer Karpal Singh yesterday, the boy's father, Ahmad Nizam Abd Rahman, said he did not expect a normal stop at the petrol station in Batang Kali on Oct 12 to turn awry.

Nizam said he and his family were going back to their hometown to celebrate Hari Raya when the incident happened."I was pumping petrol when the pump nozzle caught fire. Everything happened so fast. The next thing I knew Ikmal was on fire."

Nizam said he and his two other sons were also burnt by the flames but Ikmal was the most seriously injured.

He said he tried to put out the fire but there were no fire extinguishers. He found out later that the extinguishers were kept in the office. Nizam rushed his children to a clinic and then to the Kuala Kubu Hospital where he and his two other sons received outpatient treatment while Ikmal was transferred to the intensive care unit of Selayang Hospital.

Nizam said Ikmal was badly traumatised by the incident."He cries whenever he sees fire on TV or a lighter."Karpal said the family was taking action against the petrol station as it failed to provide safety measures.

How in the world did he caught fire??

Oh my this is dangerous. Pity the little boy.

Miss Puerto Rico (Pepper) Sprayed ;)

2007-11-28T10:00:00.000+08:00

ORGANISERS of a beauty pageant in Puerto Rico are investigating a case of sabotage after a contestant's evening gowns and makeup were doused with pepper spray, causing her to break out in hives.

Ingrid Marie Rivera beat 29 pageant rivals to become the 2008 Miss Universe contestant – despite the hives. Ms Rivera was composed while onstage before the cameras and judges, but once backstage, she needed ice packs on her face and body.

“We thought at first it was an allergic reaction, or maybe nerves,” said pageant spokesman Harold Rosario. "But the second time, we knew it couldn't have been a coincidence." Later tests revealed the presence of pepper spray.

Muahahahahahahaha!

Sorry I'm not a big fan of beauty pageants. To me it's just another way of exploiting women.

Malaysia's First Gold Medal in 24th SEA Games

2007-11-28T09:53:00.000+08:00

Malaysia won their first gold medal of the 24th SEA Games narrowly missed garnering another, both in the women’s shooting event.

The women’s 50m Rifle Prone Team delivered the gold medal but the second gold slipped out of Nur Suryani Mohd Taibi’s hands when she lost on countback in the individual category.

Nur Suryani had led two SEA Games debutantes, Nur Ain Ibrahim and Haslisa Hamed, to win the team gold with a total of 1,755 points, 10 more than the team from host Thailand and eventual bronze medallist Indonesia who had 1,743.

It was a heartbreak indeed for defending champion Nur Suryani who, having shot a total of 587 points, lost the individual gold medal on a countback to Myanmar’s Than Than Saw, who also scored 587 points. Based on Than Than’s score of 99 on the last shot in five series, the Myanmar shooter bagged the gold to dislodge Nur Suryani who had 96.

Malaysia lodged an official protest claiming discrepancies in Nur Suryani’s registered points in the last series but this was rejected by the jury.

HURRAH! One for the ladies!

Naughty Schoolgirls Will Be Caned Too

2007-11-28T09:30:00.000+08:00

The National Seminar on Education Rules have decide that naughty schoolgirls should be caned too. Currently headmasters are only permitted to cane boys for indiscipline.

Hmmmm, I don't know about you but I believe girls should not be spared the cane. Schoolgirls these days are unlike schoolgirls before. Schoolgirls these days are becoming more bold and 'naughtier'.

I'm for the caning for naughty schoolgirls, however it should be done in private, and the caning will only be done by a female teacher.

Siti Salmah Jasni, Multiple Organ Recipient Dies

2007-11-28T09:25:00.000+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR, Tue.:

Siti Salmah Jasni, the country’s first double organ transplant recipient who underwent a heart and lung transplant on Nov 2, died at the National Heart Institute (IJN) here today.

Siti Salmah, 18, died at 5.40am in the Intensive Care Unit, an IJN spokesman said.

Her family has taken her body to Kulai, Johor, for burial, he told Bernama.

Siti Salmah, who suffered from pulmonary hypertension since she was five years old, received a donor heart and lungs after a family of a woman who was killed in an accident in Kedah agreed to donate the vital organs.

After the transplants performed by a team of IJN specialists, Siti Salmah was reported to have shown positive progress from day to day.

Doctors removed the respiratory tube yesterday but had to place her on the life-support system again in the evening as the transplanted organs could not function on their own.

Siti Salmah’s condition became critical and her blood pressure started to drop sharply before she breathed her last.

Place Where Posties Make Money

2007-11-27T15:24:00.000+08:00

When I first started blogging, it never crossed my mind that you can make (serious) money just by blogging. “It’s too good to be true”, I said to myself. I mean, getting paid for doing something you love? That is just awesome!

I read about PayPerPost some time back but I never really gave it a serious thought until Diyana mentioned it to me about a couple of months back. We have been grumbling about our low pay and the long hours in the office. So, when Diyana told me that you can make money by blogging, I was really intrigued.

So I decided to read more about PayPerPost. I read about its policy, what blog network is and how PayPerPost gives you the freedom to write just about anything, as long as you are honest to your readers. If you do not own the product that you are supposed to review or you genuinely do not believe in the product, just pass on the opportunity. Write about something that you care about and believe in.

How PayPerPost works is by helping bloggers (like you and me) get paid by creating and publishing contents that are sponsored by advertisers. The bloggers, or what PayPerPost call the ‘Posties’, will create the buzz that the advertisers need get paid for it. The higher the traffic amounts of your blog, the higher the pay.

So now that my blog has been approved by PayPerPost, I cannot wait to start writing and earning. I have been eyeing on the new Nokia95 for a while now ;)

Al-Fatihah : Actor Hussein Abu Hassan Dies

2007-11-27T09:40:00.000+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran actor Hussein Abu Hassan died yesterday morning from lung infection and kidney complications. The 70-year-old film and television actor died at 5.30am at Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

Hussein Abu Hassan photographed during Hari Raya at his home last month. According to his son, actor Faizal Hussein, 40, his father had been suffering from kidney ailments for the past six years and had been undergoing dialysis treatment.

"He was admitted to the hospital on Saturday after coughing blood. He also had a fever. The whole family was at his side early Sunday and he even smiled and played with my daughter."

However, the family received a call from the doctor early this morning (yesterday morning) saying that my father was in critical condition. "When we arrived at the hospital, the nurses were administering CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)," Faizal said at Hussein's home in Gombak Setia.

Faizal said Hussein had encouraged his children to excel in their chosen field. Apart from Faizal, Hussein's two other children -- daughters Dilla, 44, and Fairuz, 42 -- are also involved in the entertainment world.

Dilla was formerly a rock singer before turning to scriptwriting, while Fairuz was widely credited as a singer who popularised Malay rhythm and blues songs.Born in Malacca in 1937, Hussein began his acting career as an extra in Seri Mersing (1961). He later starred in films such as Nasib Do Re Mi (1966), Lanang Sejagat (1969), and Bukit Kepong (1981), as well as countless television dramas and telemovies.

The prolific actor also directed four films -- Panglima Badol (1978), Senja Merah (1982), Gila-Gila Remaja (1986) and Kanta Serigala. Fellow actors and others in the entertainment industry including Umie Aida, Kuswadinata, Datuk Aziz Sattar, Julie Dahlan, Nash, Norlia Ghani, Latif Ibrahim, Rosnah Mat Aris and Opie Zamie were at Hussein's residence to pay their last respects.

Abu Bakar Omar, a 59-year-old veteran actor who had acted in television dramas with Hussein, said he learned a lot from the veteran leading man. Hussein was buried at the Taman Ibu Kota Muslim cemetery after Asar prayers.

He is survived by Mahyon, 66, his three children, and four grandchildren, aged between 2 and 23 years old.

136 Hindraf Supporters To Face Charges

2007-11-27T08:56:00.000+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: The 136 Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) supporters arrested during Sunday's demonstration will face charges which include illegal assembly, sedition, causing a nuisance and contempt of court.

Federal CID director Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee said yesterday investigations would be completed in a day or two.

He said at the federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman that the investigation papers would be sent to the attorney-general who would decide on the charges.

Wan said copies of a magistrate's court order prohibiting the public from attending the rally were distributed in the city and warnings were issued to the public not to join the assembly.

He said the suspects, aged between 19 and 60, had been remanded for two days.

Asked why Hindraf's P. Uthayakumar and M. Manoharan were not arrested at the scene, he said the two were nowhere to be seen during the rally. They only emerged about 1pm to address protesters, following which they dispersed, he added. Wan said police were investigating the Police Watch Malaysia website alleging police brutality during the rally.

The website claimed that a 20-year-old man named Jaya was killed in Lebuh Ampang."It posted a picture of a man standing and wearing a T-shirt. It did not show his head or face."

He said the caption stated the man was dead, without giving any information on the time and place where the alleged incident occurred.

"If the allegation is false and the intention is to tarnish the good name of the force, action will be taken against those responsible for the website."

City At A Standstill As Protesters Take To Streets

2007-11-26T17:35:00.001+08:00

Police also grappled with protesters who put up a fight and tried to defy arrest.

Musa said police would have negotiated with the leaders of the rally to hand over the memorandum to the British High Commission and avert the clashes, "but there was no leader in sight".

Throughout the morning, journalists did not see any of the main organisers of the demonstration -- Hindraf's P. Uthayakumar, M. Manoharan, S. Ganapathi Rao and R. Kengadharan.

Uthayakumar and Manoharan only emerged towards the end about 1pm to address the protesters, following which they dispersed.

Uthayakumar told his supporters that although they did not present the memorandum to the British High Commission, the event was "a success".

The demonstration ended about 1.30pm. In the aftermath, the only evidence of a dramatic morning were the strewn water bottles, overturned dustbins, broken metal railings and broken flower pots.

But for the second time in two weeks, the capital was brought to a standstill and tens of thousands of its dwellers fearfully kept indoors while shops were shuttered.

Blimey! It's The Queen Elizabeth They Want Now!

2007-11-26T17:29:00.000+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR: Next stop, Buckingham Palace!

Having failed to submit their memorandum to the British High Commission, Hindraf has now pledged to take it directly to Queen Elizabeth II. Hindraf legal adviser P. Uthayakumar said that they would get a second bite at the cherry when they go to London in mid-January.Uthayakumar, despite being one of the main men behind the rally, was not seen in the frontlines all morning.

From noon onwards, the protesters began getting restive and started calling repeatedly for the lawyer.

Shouts of "We want Uthaya!" could be heard echoing again and again and the mob refused to disperse even after being told repeatedly by police and other rally leaders to disperse.They said they would not go until Uthayakumar came.

Hindraf lawyer, A. Sivanesan tried to calm them down, to no avail.

When pressmen asked him where Uthayakumar was, he said Uthayakumar had gone home because he had something important to do.When questioned as to what could be more important than the rally, Sivanesan said Uthayakumar had a meeting to attend. He refused to say what the meeting was about.

Uthayakumar finally arrived, to cheers, at 1.15pm. In his speech to the protesters, he said that Hindraf would continue protesting, even under the threat of imprisonment under the Internal Security Act. "We speak the truth and will continue to speak the truth.

"We have been independent for over 50 years and we've been told to be patient and to be silent, but that mindset has now changed."We don't want to rely on Indian-based parties anymore.

"We want to go directly to Umno because it is they who hold power," said the lawyer who was in the midst of the illegal gathering yesterday.Uthayakumar hailed the demonstration as a victory, despite not being able to hand over the memorandum to the British High Commission.

"We have won today. Victory is ours," he said while the crowd cheered.He claimed Hindraf gathered 100,000 protesters yesterday. But independent estimates put the figure at less than 10,000.Earlier, Sivanesan demanded that the government set up a Royal Commission to investigate alleged police brutality during the rally.

Both Uthayakumar and Sivanesan were treated as heroes by the crowd, and they were repeatedly hoisted onto their supporters' shoulders and feted by the mob.

DAP Ipoh Barat MP M. Kulasegaran who turned up at the gathering at about 1pm urged the crowd to disperse saying "we have been heard today".

"Today we saw a change in the Indian community. A change for the better."Uthayakumar is expected to face a fresh charge of contempt at the Klang Sessions court today as he had ignored an earlier court order not to turn up at the gathering yesterday.

Police had obtained a court order on Thursday where Uthayakumar together with Hindraf leaders M. Manoharan, P. Waytha Moorthy, V. Ganabatirau, R. Kenghadaran and members, were barred from taking part in the illegal rally.

Uthayakumar, his brother Waytha Moorty and Ganabatirau were also charged on Friday for inciting racial hatred, an offence under the Sedition Act.

Uthayakumar and Ganabatirau had posted bail of RM800 each and were released. They were ordered to be in court today for mention of the case.

Cause I ain't picking up no phone call. (Bosses should be banned from calling their employees when they are on holiday)

I'm still enjoying Penang.

I don't feel like going back to the office.

Infact if I have loads of money, I'll quit right now.

But then again, whatever is going to happen to Diyana, Bani, Nana, Farah_Kawaii?

I can't do this to them. They will miss me so much I bet they can't even do their work today!

tch tch tch!

Oh well *sighs* in that case I'll get back to the office tomorrow.

By the way guys, if you miss me so much, you can smell my stinky shoes under my table. Be careful take your turn sharing is caring remember?
