camera no more..

This week was quite a rough week for me.
I took MC on Monday, which falls on my lil bro's bday. So I decided to take him out for a treat and watch my first ever 3D movie, "Despicable Me".
Everything went pretty well..until I lost the camera. Must have misplaced it when we were having lunch. Bummer..
Worst thing is...it's Mr Bert's camera..and he has been using it for 3 years now.
And I completely lost it!
We searched everywhere..even called the security. Unfortunately until now, no news about the Camera.I curse the person the who took the camera..hmmpphh..

So, the past few days I was pretty upset with myself about the whole thing.
Mr Bert wasn't mad, but he said that was a pretty a good camera, and he bought for quite high price. I promise to get him a new one, but not the same price (or brand). I felt so so SO bad..*sobss*

There was even one morning as I was on the way to the office, I was having negative thoughts about everything.. felt so depressed.. cried like crazy..
Then suddenly, the Meen-detector as he has always been, Mr Bert called & cheered me up.
He sure knows the "right time" to call.. :) Dia, glad you understand the mechanics of me.. :P

Munckin's update: Ever since I have not been well (am recovering btw, only at the office flue symptoms starts due to the air-cons), I noticed I don't feel as hungry too often now. I can eat smaller portions, and I can stay "hungry" for longer period. Perhaps it is a sign I should fast during this Ramadhan month nanti Insyallah..

This weekend will be quite a hectic weekend..will be over at my mom's place for the belated July Birthday celebration. Plus, we're finally going over to the new hospital building to have my 6th check up with the doc & to attend the full day antenatal class as well. So will most likely update sometime next week.Till then, have a good weekend folks!

Munckin, I can't wait to see you baby! Don't forget to smile for mummy & daddy..(^_^)

july updates

Updated : My Internet connection died on me when I was halfway editing this entry. Pergh.. For your info, I've not been well lately. am down with flue, cough, running nose, block nose..GOSH! Mr Bert said I snored louder than before because I can't breath properly..sigh... During this pregnancy, I've vomited about 5 times (3 times because I had a late lunch (Angin=pening=vomit), and 2 times because of this coughing/flue thingy). This 2 days weekend I didn't go anywhere..was supposed to go to 2 weddings, and 2 luncheon, but it was all cancelled cause of my condition. Mr Bert was sweet enough to get me a piece of mud chocolate cheese cake since I couldn't attend his friend's wedding. Awww.. Okay, now back to my original entry..

On this peaceful Sunday morning, I've decided to update this blog of mine. Anyways, latest updates? It was Mr Bert's birthday last Friday.
Since I was not feeling well, it was just a simple do.. (I didn't even take pics! sighh). At midnight, I took out a small square sized Walnut Brownie, put 1 candle on it, and sang to Mr Bert (with the sengau-est voice ever!). He then opened up his presents:- I got him a new hp (yes, I cannot tahan his current hp..can keep as spare! ;p) and the other one was from Munckin..

Box with Daddy's picture on it..

Taa-daa....The words said it all! :) *It was quite hard to find this Bib in Kl*

Mr Bert as always..expression-less. :P
At night, we went to Octopus Sushi for dinner. (Reminded me of good ol' worldcup Octopus Paul).
But I was coughing quite badly.So we quickly ate dinner & went back home.

Cian Mr Bert..such a very simple birthday treat..I had other plans actually, but what to do, tak diizinkan oleh Nya..
Dia, Hope you have a wonderful birthday my dearest hubby..can't wait to celebrate your bday next year with Munckin nanti..I'll promise to make it superb yah! ;) love yah dia..

As for my Munckin, lately there has been lotsa "dancing" in the tummy! :)
Munckin will kick or move during certain parts of the day..usually late morning, late afternoon, and in the evenings.. I enjoy every single bit of it!

Also lately I've been doing LOTS of online "window" shopping for Munckin. Cloth Diaper/ Stroller/ Car Seat/Play pen/ CLOTHES..you name it, they have it! Of recent I purchased Munckin the first batch of Cloth Diapers online! (cause it was on special..gotta grab it!).

During my off day on Wednesday, I went out with my mom & my aunt to shop for Munckin's things. Erm, lets just say that the backseat was FULL of Munckin's things! hehe.. We bought a bathtub set, nappy changer mat, AVENT bottles set, some towels, storage boxes, and some clothes (the clothes were from my mom kay..she got excited!) Aunty Mah bought us a sterilizer, food warmer & breast pump (alhamdulillah..)and one of Munir's friend is gonna "loan" us the baby car seat.. Rezeki Munckin betul, alhamdulillah..

So now, the main things that need to buy are:-
1)PlayPen + nappy changer area-since we're not getting a babycot, need the traveling one instead
2)stroller- since we're getting a carseat, maybe stroller can wait until Munckin's bigger perhaps
3) Breast Pump accessories- I meant, the cooler bag, milk bottle storage, etc
4) More cloth diapers? hehe.. wanna buy the velcro ones this time..

At least, Munckin's getting the his/her things now.. aren't you a lucky baby? *^_^*

Oh yeah, here are some clothes my mom bought from Surabaya.."Neutral colours" for Munckin..

**********************************************

My school recently had a WorldCup Day, where all children (and teachers) are required to wear a Jersey of any team/country. Due to my current size, the only "biggest size" jersey was a South Africa Football Association. So, I am with the South Africa team..

And, my teachers & I performed the Waka Waka Dance for the children! It was my idea, cause I love that song. we only had one week of practice. The children enjoyed it, and some followed our dance steps too.. I have it on video too..let see if I can upload on YouTube. hehe..

Look at that Mak Buyung..tak sedar diri betul..menari mcm nak aper..hehe..

The teachers planned out some activities for the children. We had a mini goal post for them to kick the ball into... Suhayl here showing off his skills..

Teacher Rita's children were nice enough to come to school and talk about the World Cup in general, and brought along the Vuvuzella. See how Dalwyn covered his eyes because of the loud sound...

Some also coloured their own jerseys..

And some admiring the "imitation" of the actual golden world cup trophy..

Here are some group photos of the children in their jerseys..

One of my favourite...countries united as one!

It was a fun day indeed..the children enjoyed it..the teachers had a gala time as well!

Well, once in every 4 years, next time Munckin can join in as well..:)

This was one of the events I attended last week with Mr Bert.. "Envisioning Parenthood". Cost per entry, RM10 per person (including hi-tea!)..so worth attending for!

It was a very good event, especially for parents-to-be like us. They had several talks about baby preparations, different booths with baby products, even there's yoga for parents (see pic below). I enjoyed this session very much..

But, the hi-light for the day (for me at least) was becoming a model for the fashion show! I was selected by the organizer to be a volunteer model. In my previous entry, I had a fitting session for my baju. It was a grey-ish, black-ish, white-ish combo blouse. I also get to wear their black leggings.

Anyways, here's us back stage for our short rehearsal.

Here are my new found friends, Deena & Syafa (and Syafa's daughter, dina)

Here's me at 6 months pregnant!

Top by Egg: RM 398 (no kidding)

Leggings by Egg: RM 200

Black tudung: my own, from one of my black jubah actually

Inner grey anak tudung: From shades (thank you for loaning!)

Here's me getting make up done before the grand walk..

Mummies-to-be, all in queue ready to model..

It's my turn, getting ready for my runway walk..

Here's us, all models with the VIP guest..

I enjoyed being a model, even for that 5 minutes of fame. Although I didn't get to keep the bajus, but the fact that I was able to wear a RM 600 attire was pretty exclusive right? hehe..Such a fun day indeed...:)

Surprise!

Guess what Aida & the gang (Mr Bert's friends) got us as presents?

Parkson Cash Vouchers!! *Woohoo~*
Alhamdulillah, betul2 rezeki Munckin..
Now, at least we can buy one playpen with the voucher, or pay half for the stroller..
PS:People, if you are looking for gifts for Munckin, cash vouchers are ALWAYS welcome..

*senyum tak malu tapi mahu..* (^_^)

******************************************

See this rack of clothes..See that name tag..Guess who's gonna be ...the next top model?

Yours truly! (^_^)
Just went for my "fitting" this afternoon. Event's on Sunday.
Will elaborate further after Sunday's event.
Now, Yours Truly need to practice "Smizing" & "Working that Walk On the Runway". *winks*

About a few weeks ago, I got a surprise email from an old friend. Just of recent I read her blog, and this was the entry that she wrote on that same week.

Reliving the past.
It has been so long.
3 years to be precise.
It was rough. Tough.
Indeed, hard.
But we somehow made it through though I'm not sure how.
Or if we actually did made it through.
Sometimes, I miss you. I do.
And the times we shared.
I wish you well. I hope you're great.
But if it's too difficult to forget,
I'll slide back down under the covers and simply wait.

I can't help but wonder, is it about me?
Irregardless, I am overwhelmed.
I miss you too my dear friend. Let's forget the past & relive the future.
Let bygones be bygones. :)

It's a boy?

There has been a lot of prediction about Munckin's gender.

Many has said that it could be a boy, cause apparently from the back, I don't look pregnant. But seeing me from the front, with my belly so "bulat" and curves to the front, chances are Munckin might be a boy.

Some said because I look "extra berseri", which indicates a boy. If it's a girl, I will look pale & lertagic.

Some said because I crave for nasi lemak & "heavy meals" that the baby might be a boy. If it is a girl, I will be craving for sweet things.

One of Munir's friend saw my tummy and confidently said "It's a boy" (dengan penuh selamba, I may add).

Uncle Salim predicted that Munckin is gonna be a boy. Why so? "I look at both couples. I look at the both of you, and I believe you are gonna get a boy first.." Aunty Nani scolded him "Ishh, what kind of prediction is that?" hehe..

Surprisingly, even Papa predicted that is gonna be a boy.. Just an instinct thing according to him.

My bro Emer has been calling Munckin "Members" from the start. (He also predicted that I will be having 'Twins', but it ain't happening for this time round..)

Yesterday, Mr Bert msged me saying "There's a gift for *Munckin*" *the boy name that we have both decided*. Now, that's a first for Mr Bert! We both have decided names for Munckin for both genders months ago, but he used the "name" for a boy for the first time ever! That was such a sweet moment for me..

And of course, from my previous entries, the doc from the start predicted that it's gonna be a boy..

So, let's wait & see Munckin if the predictions are true.. ;)

**********************

Went jalan2 with Mr Bert @ KLCC this morning to buy gifts for the Birthday Boys. Note: July is my pokai month cause it's Papa's, Emer's, Dzhofier's & Mr Bert's Birthday, all within the same week! So yeap, there goes my budget..

In the end, we only bought one pressie for Dzhofier.. and cards for Emer & Papa. Lucky thing I have already bought Mr Bert's pressie weeks ago! ;)

While looking at the presents, we also peep into Munckin's things :- Car Seat & Playpen. So far, I am considering Chicco's 2-in-1 Car Seat & Stroller and also Draco's playpen. They seem to be reliable, and affordable (that's most important!). But, we still need to survey around & wait for the sales, which is just around the corner..

Sometimes I feel kinna worried. Many parents-to-be have bought their baby stuff already. And all I got for Munckin so far are some clothes from Mama & Aunty Mah. That's it! I hope I am not too late in doing baby shopping for Munckin. Boy I wish I have the money & can splurge around for munckin.. *wishful thinking* Can't wait for Munckin's gift later.. wonder what did Aunty Aida got for us...
