Bun In the Oven

Yup.....you've guessed it. Baby No.2 is on its way!! :)
Well, that explains the dwindling posts.

We just passed our halfway mark. So we're halfway there! Little Princess will be a big sister soon and we do hope she copes well.
On another note, i've started a new mummy blog. Will put up link to it somewhere around the sidebar.

In the mean time, i do have a couple of stuffs that is review worthy....hopefully i'll find some time to get it done.

Turning 30!!

oh mymy.....Its already August and i've only done 14 posts for the year!! haha....what a blogger am i! Well, this month, i'm turning 30, and for the past few days, i've been having this nagging feeling of getting old. You know, for a lady, turning 30 is a big deal! Its like you've finally reach life at its peak and its only going downhill from now!!! Unlike men, where 30 is only the beginning. Le Sigh....

My hubby always tells me that a women look their best when they are 30. And he always assured me that i would look my best when im there. Well, its drawing near and all i see in the mirror is ME at my heaviest EVER!! Double Sigh!!!!!

But the good news is i've finally manage to shed another 2 kg this month. That means another 4kgs to go to reach me pre-pregnancy weight. Weightloss is such a struggle post pregnancy. Dispite me being utterly breathless and worn out....the weight just refuses to melt away after the initial 10kg. I put on a total of 17kgs during my pregnancy. The final 5kg was stubborn as hell.

I'm going to celebrate my birthday and I'm gonna treat my family for a great buffet. I'm planning my own celebration! heh.....But of course it would be charged to my hubby's credit card! haha....of course he is paying! I've already done him a favor by organizing my own party. The least he can do is pay. Hmm.....'i'm thinking about Lemon Garden buffet at Shangrila. I wonder how much is the dinner buffet and how can i get a good deal?? Any special offers going on?

I have like a week to go and i'm determined to loose another 2kg. I need to look good on my birthday! I've already got myself a good haircut. Burnt RM600 for that. *wipes sweat*.

Anyway, I'm feeling quite good as the big 3-0 approaches. I truely am grateful for what I have, where I am now and my best achievement before 30 is becoming a mom. I feel so blessed.

Yummy Nectarine

yumyum...am enjoying my lovely peach a.k.a Nectarine. My goodness, this 1 biji cost me RM4.99 ok! So expensive......i first bought 2 in Cold Storage Bangsar and it costs more than RM5 each there! but it was totally fresh and delish. Yummy......Recently i bought another 2 for RM4.99 from Sri Hartamas shopping centre. This wasn't as crunchy as the one i bought from bangsar, but still tasty. hai....for baby sake...anything expensive also willing to buy. :)

I have a date....

its weird to have a date after not having one for such a longggggggg time.
My OLLLLDDDDDDDDD friend from school will be in town this weekend and had asked me out.
The thing is. He is still single. He is extremely wealthy now. And........he used to be my admirer.
And......he will be driving his spanking new luxury sports car worth about over a mil or so.

...AND he wants to pick me up.
Yikes man.....this sorta freak me out a little. haha....hey i'm a married women......and when a luxury car(perhaps not even existent in Malaysia) pulls up in front of my house to pick ME up. You'd think the neighbors won't notice and start gossiping? No thanks. I can drive.

Now, I've got to find a way to tell the hubby about this date. Do you think he would mind? I mean, he is having some engagement the same evening so i'd be home alone anyways...why not meet up an old friend right?
Hmm.....of course i'd be wearing my wedding band lah.......
I'm thinking of introducing him to some of my single friends. Any one wants a rich bf? send your resume to me now.....kekekeke

Blogging at 6am....something rare

Hey! I just woke up at 5.am.
Had some breakfast and made a cup of hot milo....took a shower......
and now i'm here in front of my laptop blogging.
wicked....
because i slept at 10pm and now i can't sleep anymore!
I love the feeling of being awake and doing some work in the wee hours of the morning.... especially between 2am to 6am
the stillness of the night.......
the quietness in the morning.........
nobody around as if all the other humans in this world are non-existence.....such a bliss....

:)
oh.....and i had a bloglebrity moment when koolgeek told me he spotted me and the hubby at TheCurve last sunday.... heeeheeee.........*waves* next time say hi ok!!! unless i look unruly as if just jump out from the bed...........then dont say hi and pretend u didnt see me la.....kekekeke

OMG....Chinese New Year is only 2 days away! so soooon.....

I'm just rambling away nonsense.......

oh....and i received the results of my check-up. Pap smear was ok.......normal.
My hormone test turn out to be ok........except for some slight imbalance(one being higher than the other). I also dunno what it means because the doctor didn't mention what were the effects and so on....i probably should have asked but i was kinda rushing....

But the blood pressure is still on the high-side after the second test. I have to be very careful of this. I need to watch the salt. No more "nga ku"(fried arrow-head) for me.

Other than that, I have a clean bill of health. Thank God.

Feeling down..TGIF

its that time of the month....
as patient and as calm a person as i am.....i too suffer the pms syndrome once awhile.
I slept teary eyed last night....
i feel so stressed out and ever little issue, every little responsibility causes me to stress so much as if they weight tonnes....
had a throbbing headache and popped a pill before i head to bed.
Thank God its Friday, can't wait till the weekend comes.

Pap Smear and Checkup

Well, I don't visit the doctor very often(which is a good thing) but as i'm reaching 30 soon, i thought it would be a good idea to do a full check-up. So today i walked-in to a women specialist clinic for a full health check and some women-related test.

I admit it was very scary and taunting since it is my first time. Plus i was very fearful if the results turn out unpleasant. But thats life.....we need to face whatever life circumstances that comes our way. The sooner it is to find out, the sooner we can nip the situation in the butt...

So i brave myself and took a bold step to get myself checked.

First thing was to take my weight...OMG im so heavy i really must do something about this weight issue.....

And then we took my blood pressure. OMG....its quite high lo.......im so young oni......this wan gotta go check again....perhaps its stress and tense...

Then.......i had to take off my clothes....even my panties.....and loosen my bra.
eeee......so shy....but thank God my doctor is a nice Lady or else i would be so uncomfortable loh...

We did a breast examination. She thought me how to self-examine my breast.......
No lumps.....phew......

Then we did the pap smear. Eeeee............this wan was quite uncomfortable. This is when the doctor takes a sample of your cell from the cervix for a lab test. Im not sure what was going on down there but she pushed something inside.....felt kinda funny....but all was over in a minute. phewww........

Then we did an ultrasound. I admit it was scary to look at your uterus in ultrasound. I was soooo fearful to see something i dont want to see there.......heheee.......but then i saw my uterus......doctor says looks good n healthy. No growth, no cyst. double phew!!!!

Lastly, she took my blood samples..............

So i'd be getting the results in a week's time. I'm quite healthy except for the blood pressure.
The entire check set me back by RM320! youch! so expensive ne.......all those done within 45minutes oni.........no long que to wait which is great.

I feel good after the test. Nothing to worry about. But i do try to relax myself more........i dont want to have highblood pressure. I must not stress so much di.......not good for my health....perhaps its a good time to go for holiday...

Was it 40deg??

Is it just me or was it like 40 degrees out there today?
Man i hate the weather when it turns hot like that....
Well, make sure you drink plenty of water and don't fall sick ya?!
Already many people around me are falling sick....cough lah flu lah.....

Tomorrow is a holiday wo! feels like today is Friday. But fact is, we're only half through the week. And I have to go to office tomorrow...boohoo.....anyways, you all have a good rest!

New Year New Domain and New Header! Wee!!

I actually bought this domain name for quite sometime now....just that its been sitting at godaddy for too long. I've decided to make use of it this year! yey!
www.myfashionasia.com is live!

I've also removed my old header.......i cant say id be using this one long, but its a start...
Till i can find a nicer header. This shall do....

and i've also created a new avatar. I discovered some new blogger using the same avatar as mine and i don't like that....so this is my new profile pic. :)

oh...oh.......and i've been approved by Kontera too!! Thats good news! :)

New year new glasses....

yey! got myself a pair of new glasses.......make me look so smarty @ss this one...haha.........my shortsightedness have increased. Bad bad!!! sigh......
how to reduce when i'm glued to my notebook whole day lei?? Working time also on the notebook.....not working time also on the notebook surfing the net......sigh.........and i thought wearing contacts should be able to help reduce the power so i have been wearing contacts for at least half a year already. oh well.......at least it is balanced now......unlike previously when the right eye was having a higher power....which causes much strain and giddiness to me when i wear my old glasses....

But i've decided to get myself a new pair of glasses because contact lenses can be very high maintenance. RM50 for 3 pairs of bauch & Lomb soft lenses..... each pair last about a month. Other than that, i need to buy solution to wash and soak them daily. A good solution costs about RM18+- per bottle.... Sometimes i use daily contacts from johnsons & johnsons acuvue, that one costs about RM90 per box of 15 pairs. Which means every time i wear them im burning RM6!! 1 time usage leh.......Very costly hor...So hopefully by having these new glasses, i can reduce my usage for contact lenses. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ps. stupid advertlets redirect my blog to some stupid site........seems they forgot to renew their domain wor...........siao.......i've removed them totally and only using nuffnang, which is much more reliable. Sorry if you've visited my blog today and it seemed like it was hacked or something...

Day after Christmas

Its kinda sad that christmas is over! so sooon.
Every year I waited eagerly for christmas to arrive. Sometimes in the middle of the year, we just feel like we want christmas to be around that we took out the christmas cd to play.....hehe...weirdo...

Well, actually its not so much about christmas that we like, i guess we love the soothing holiday feel thats associated with christmas...christmassy jingles that are so happy n cheery. And it feels great not to be so stressed and bogged down by work finally!! At the end of the year where everybody laze-out and just embrace the holiday.

Well, we'll be bidding farewell to 2007 soon. Time to look back and see how much have we accomplished this year? and then make a new resolution for 2008. I always do. Here's to a great year ahead!!

A rare 5am post!

Hello!! anybody awake??
haha...its 5am and i just had breakfast--or supper or watever u call it at 4am with hubby....sipping coffee and having dunkin donuts.....crazy couple we are.

We slept at 9pm yesterday and now both of us are wide awake already!
Spent the entire day out yesterday as it was a public holiday....busy buying christmas presents lo wat else!! So totally konked out by 9. I'd probably crawl into bed again later.......

I think i'd surf for some finger food recipe now. We're gonna have BBQ for our little Christmas party.....and gulp....its so sooon!! so little time to clean up AND do grocery shopping....i'm totally freaking out cos i haven't planned on the food stuffs yet. What i do have in mind are chicken wings, sausages, lamb, beef, prawns, corns, potato salad, greens.....I need to make some finger food too.....

The one about the in laws

ugghhh....sometimes i get so frustrated with the in laws....sigh.....
i have them staying with me......no choice lo...Lets just say that they are VERY dependent on the hubby lo. And when you love someone, you gotta love the package that comes with it.

Sometimes i get very frustrated over the things that they do...eg. they like to come into our room when we r not around to help us "clean up" and.....it really get on my nerves!!! Though every time i noticed something "different" with the room, i tend to just bite my tongue lo what to do.....
But these days...especially today when I was looking for something that I remembered exactly where I put them...but i couldn't find them.....my temperature really shot up to a boil although I still kept my cool and ask them politely where are my stuffs.....sigh......

Ya, though the in laws can be very nice people....and they do things out of good will and no bad intentions......but sometimes i just cant seem to be able to adapt. I mean, my mother never touched my stuffs ever since i'm old enough(teenage) and to get used to the way my in laws like to pick-up after us.......sigh......its irritating....
and no, locking the door doesn't help. They have keys to the whole house dei.....

Free but not too free....

Ello.....
im here to whine about being jobless and broke and busy again.....how predictable? eh?? hehe
Well.......though jobless im still busy.....u forgot i dont have a maid don't you?
and....i recently had a flat tyre!!.....been driving on the spare.....i need to take the old jalopy to change tyres
Then......my road tax is due soon which I have to go n renew. Sigh......oh no not again......$$$$$$
I also have a parcel to pick.......
ok i think i need to go plant some money trees....

oh and do my japanese homework too....

I'm FREE!!!

Its great to be free at last...
no more stress!!! yey!
Just that the crappy ppl is holding my paycheck....

sometimes i think i am too responsible and think for others too much......but other ppl just think about their own benefit.......

well......time to be carefree.......
im gonna download some anime now and practice my Nihon-go!
wkakakaka......

Freedom at last!! but....perhaps not too long.......just enjoy it while it last la! till the next battle begins.......toodles...

Attempt #2

So the next day, we were ready to talk again.
He sounded like he's got some really good solution......
though I had a better excuse this time....
I did not give him much opportunity to counter offer cos i didn't want him to tempt me with material things.....i know i will go eventually and might as well be it now.
Of course, I gave this "its not you, its me" talk.......i want more of my personal time....flexibility....blablabla.....i knew he cant do any of these things! hah.....

Great.............he saw my determination and knew he need not say more.
But.....he still asked that i stay on for another month....

Hmmmm......i need to think it over n get back to him again.

You know what........why should I stay for another month?
I'm yet a confirmed staff and i have my rights to leave with 24 hrs notice. In fact, i gave more than 24 hrs notice already.

I'm gonna wrap this up and move on.

Attempt#2 : Partially successful

Attempt#1

I typed the resignation letter last night.
I waited till the end of the day and walked into his room with the letter in hand.

I passed it to him.

He refused to accept it.

Dang........

We talked for a good hour or more......

He asked me what i wanted....i told him its not about the money...

blablabla....end of the day, he rejected the letter......refused to let me go......apparently i am soooooo good.

We'll have to discuss this again tomorrow.........I suppose he'll counter offer ..........I need to cook up better excuses to leave...

Sigh..........attempt#1.....FAILED.

Been cleaning up my workdesk

Yesterday I've attempted to clean up my workspace.
Strangely, This time around, i've kept my workplace simple and uncluttered.
I did not make any effort to decorate them as before....
i dont keep any dollies or decorative items....not a single piece. Except for a tube of lotion.

Well, today though i woke up early. I've decided to take a day off.
I think you know you have to leave when you dread to go to work and drag your feet
I think im gonna type the letter today...
and just hop off the bus.......:)
