This will be as random as an entry possible. No particular focus.
As of today, my darling baby is of 28 weeks old & the mummy has gained yet another 4.7kg in the last one month. The baby is weighing 1048g & the rest of it belongs to the mummy. My God! Aside from the s.u.p.e.r fat cheeks, i seriously do not know where the rest of the fats actually went to. So, from today on, no more Ya Kun. No more Coffee Bean or Spinelli's in the morning. No more Swensens or Fish & Co. for dinner. Ugh! Ais, how???
Anyways, I went to Rai's & Asnor's wedding last saturday. And Rai was like so superbly gorgeous. The wedding dresses that she wore were specially tailor-made or so i heard. My deepest congratulations to them both & my many well wishes to the couple who I felt has been together for the longest time.
On the note of relationships, I miss my Shiks! Its been weeks since I last saw her & I know she's busy with work & boyfie & school. Sometimes I wished we were back in our sec sch days where we quarrel & laughed & talked about practically everything! We've been friends 10 years & counting. True, which friendship is smooth sailing. We've had our fair share of fights & misunderstandings & till today we are still good friends & I am most thankful for that. So till we meet on the 17th, I shall be counting down the days. =)
Another blossoming relationship will be of my dear cousin Far & her beau or should I say soon-to-be fiance, Yunus. They will be getting engaged this Saturday & so, CONGRATS cousin dearest. I am so happy for you. Tho, with my current state, I wont be able to help out as much as you did on my wedding, I will be there by your side throughout the whole event ok?
Here I leave you with baby's 18th & 23rd week's pics & a 3D image of his face. Not very clear tho. Gynae Heng says the boy looks like his mummy. =)
Have a good week ahead everybody.
Love.

Dont mind my rantings as I voice out my unhappiness towards uncivic-minded Singaporeans.
My usual after work routine is to wait for a cab along Kaki Bukit Ave so that I do not have to take the bus bustling with people & spend my time getting irritated with ignorant people who would not give their seats up to pregnant women like me. So on that fateful Wednesday (2 days ago), as usual, I waited at my usual spot for a cab. Then came along a couple who stood a few metres away also waiting for a cab. They stood in the direction where the cabs would be coming from so that any cabs that drive past would notice them first instead of me. My first reaction was to get mad as I was there first but I decided to calm down & not be judgemental towards them. "Maybe, if a cab comes along, they wont flag it considering that they are aware that I had been standing there before them & that my tummy looks as though a baby is about to pop out at any time.." After 20mins of waiting, a cab came along. I flagged it down. Then within seconds, the couple also flagged the cab down. The cab stopped for the couple instead of for me although I was the one who flagged it first. When the cab picked the couple up, & stopped infront of me (the traffic light was red so they had to stop), I literally stared at the passengers inside the cab. Being gracious, he actually asked the cab driver if he should go down & give in to me. The cab driver's response "No need, you didnt know she was standing there what..." Then what the hell was I standing there for?? Waiting for the moon to drop????
I got so infuriated that I took out my mobile to lodge a complaint against cab driver 6542M. 1st, he CHOSE his passengers. 2nd,he actually responded that way to the passenger's question. The officer in charge will be investigating the matter & he will get back to me in 2 weeks time.
Where have all the civic minded Singaporeans disappeared to? What if at that point of time I was actually waiting for a cab to take me to the hospital? And who is the driver to judge whether a passenger should go down or not & give way to other passengers?
I believe I am not being a typical Singaporean who complains practically about anything & everything under the sun. My complains are justified.
There.
I have let my steam out.
Shall await the response from the officer. He better.........

The last time i saw my grams was on Aidiladha. After that, I was pretty much occupied with my own life. So much so that when I heard that my grams was sick cos she missed me, I felt a pang of guilt.
I called her to ask how she was & this was pretty much the conversation....
"Nyai demam?" (Grams, u having a fever?)
"A ah, demam. Da seminggu. Nyai baru ingatkan Siti lepas tu talipon bunyi. Da lama Siti tak dtg. Nyai tak tahu perut da besar ke belum ke. Siti baik ke tak ke.." (Yah,I'm having a fever for about 1 week. I was just thinking of you when the phone rang. Its been a while since you last came. I was wondering if your tummy has grown bigger or whether you're doing fine)
"Siti ok." (I'm ok)
The conversation continued on till the topic on me giving birth. She said that since my mum was working & so was I, she would not mind looking after my baby. She still feel that she's strong to take care of one more baby. Upon hearing this, my tears just welled up. Never have I thought that she would actually offer to take care of my future precious due to her age & health condition. I was extremely touched.
Eversince I was a baby, I was not looked after by my parents but by my grandparents. She, especially had always been there to back me up when my parents got mad at me. She took upon herself to feed me & bathe me & love me. Wen I was 2-3 years of age & I returned to my parents, I still constantly slept over & she was the one who would get me ready for school, comb my unruly hair & walk me and my cousin to the school gates. Even now, adult as I am, she still kisses my cheeks each time she sees me. I have always had such a strong connection with her that I constantly shudder at the thought of losing her. So when she said that she missed me & that she was unwell really breaks my heart. I have neglected her for the past 2 months. Obssessed with my own life. I am sorry, nyai. I will visit you this week. I will.
Although I am not very good at expressing my thoughts & feelings in person, I really love you nyai. I really do. I hope you get well soon. I will be praying for your well-being....

My weekend was a simple affair. I was at my in-laws with siti & hawa & we spent the whole saturday making cupcakes. Plain vanilla, Choc chip with milo frosting & vanilla with strawberry frosting. The results? Super delicious,i tell you. But dont take my word for it. Take a look at the pictures below. I guess pictures DO speak louder than words.
Who thought making cupcakes could create so much chaos in the kitchen. Even hubs couldnt believe the noise that 3 of us were creating over cupcakes. Hehe. After all that hard work, we ordered a pepperoni pizza, aloha lovers, meatballs, drumlets & had a feast. No wonder i'm like putting all those extra2 kilos..!! Nonetherless, I wish i had a longer weekend. Hmmph. Two days were simply not enough..
On Sunday, I just stayed home & do lots & lots of spring cleaning. Hubs was at work & I was alone at home. So i decided to be THE domestic goddess. :) Ard 8pm, my little cousins came for a visit & I realised that I can have sooooo much fun with kids! My aunt who brought her kids over told me that my grams was sick & that i should go visit cos the last time i went over was on Hari Raya Haji. Yup, it was that way back. Me bein occupied & stuff. I'l make it a point to visit this Thursday since it'll be hubs off day.
Its back to work & i cant wait for the upcoming LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNGGGGG weekend ahead. % days more to go..............

Its Thursday & the weekend is just 2 days away. Yayyy!!! I love weekends. I literally hyperventilate thinking about weekends. Its when i get my day off from work and spend time with my loved ones. I love weekends when hubs dont have to work. But even if he's working, I still find joy spending the weekends with sweet siti or some gfs.
This up & coming weekend would hopefully be of no exception. Mother-in-law will be going to KL so i'l have to go over to babysit hub's granny. Hub's not working but due to my babysitting, we wont be going out. So me,siti & hawa will be staying in, ordering pizzas & meatballs, bursting our lungs out on Father-in-law's new Samsung karaoke system & afterwards, we'll be making cupcakes. Two kinds to be exact. Chocolate with Buttercream Frosting & Cherry-Vanilla with Cream Cheese Frosting. Ouuh I like....
Will post pics of my cupcakes next week. Till then, have a good weekend my dears.
