Yes..I was M.I.A for a bit.. almost 1 month?
There were several reasons.. either Mr Bert conquered the laptop when I wanted to use it, or I was too tired/too sleepy/ too busy to update, or it was raining heavily hence Internet connection was bad. Either way, no more excuses. Yesterday, Mr Bert went back to New Fort for a friend's wedding. I wasn't able to follow, so I am back at my mom's house. And now, I have PLENTY of time to update this "dusty" blog of mine!
Just to prepare you, this is a long entry with pictures.. you have been warned! ;)

Munckin's 3rd check up at 16 weeks!
At the check up, I was required to fast the night before so the nurses can take my blood sample to indicate my sugar level. We were early this time, we reached there at around 8.30am, and was the 2nd to go in.
Before we went in, the nurses took my blood sample and I was required to drink this glucose drink. Imagine a ribena drink, but extra extra thick and extra extra sweet. Bluerrgghhhh.....
Then, we went to see Dr Z, and he observed our little Munckin. He went really detailed this time, looking at Munckin's face (couldn't see really clear...wish it was 3D!), Munckin's feet, Munckin's backbone..and even, Munckin's *toooott* part.
To be honest, I think I saw a 'burger' quite clearly.. I did ask the doc, but he mentioned "Erm no, I look more like a birdy.." Huh? Has my eyes deceived me? Or, does he wants to play along since we informed him before hand about the gender surprise? Hmmm..
Anyways, all looks good.. my sugar level test will only be known next month. I hope everything will be okay..
********************************
A couple of days later, I realized there were some "discharged" from "downunder". Not the normal white ones, but it was rather greenish. (Imagine 'kahak', but coming from down there..yucks!). And there's a LOT! I got worried, so I went to see the docs again.
But this time, it wasn't with Dr Z, cause he was on emergency leave. I was with a lady doc, Dr F. Friendly lady, same vibe sorta..I love her clinic, more equipments..
Anyways, she explained that I had some fungus infections (eeuuwww....), and many factors may have caused it. She took some sample (didn't like the procedure..!) and also put in a "soapy-like" medicine down there...super uncomfortable kay! And I am supposed to put the "soapy" thingy twice a day..gross!
After seeing Dr F, I was thinking..should I give Dr F a try for Munckin's next check up? Just to see how she differs from Dr Z. But deep inside, I feel like I sorta betraying Dr Z, cause he is a super nice Doc..
After a week with the "soap", it didn't make much of a difference to the discharged. So, I went back to see Dr Z. And he explained to me thoroughly, (with pictures! I am a visual learner, and it helps me understand better)! He decided to give me antibiotics instead..which makes the discharged subsided within 2 days!
So our verdict? We're sticking with Dr Z! :)
And yes, during this checkup with Dr Z, he scanned Munckin, just to see if Munckin is ok. And yes, Munckin is doing well! Growing accordingly..I was so happy that I got another scanned photo 2 weeks after the 3rd check up! :)
As you can see, my munckin shows the 'perut buncit' again *geram :)*. Dr Z again scanned the *toot* part..and he has a strong feeling that Munckin might be a boy..but again, he said it is too early to tell. Let's wait till next month to find out..

During the recent long weekend (Wesak holiday), my family drove down to Johor for Yaya & Farin's son, Arfan's aqiqah in JB. The "pelamin" had a garden theme with a buai in the middle.. classic!
I wore the same baju as Bartisyia's aqiqah. The attire colour code was blue, but I didn't have any blue jubah in my wardrobe. (Which reminds me, I better send my baju raya to the tailor soon!)Here's Kak Long, Adat, the adorable Misha & myself during the ceremony.
That's Farin & Baby Arfan in the buai. Farin dah kurus balik, am so jealous! Within less than 2 months, she is back to her original body! Her secret: no rice during pantang. Must do that nanti!
That's baby Arfan in a cute baju melayu & samping! Adorable!!! He is so chubby.. muka Daddy exactly...
Here's Arfan & Uncle Latif after the 'cukur jambul'. Semakin bulat la si Arfan tuh...
I managed to snap photos of Munckin's future playmates.. Here's Baby Afnan (cousin Attiyah's son) at 4 months old...
..and also the adorable (& sexy!) Baby Suri...also 4 months old. Here with her sister, cousin Sarah.
***************************************************
While we're down in JB, we made a quick trip to Singapore. Visited Grandma & Grandpa.. and also Kak Yaya & family. 2 houses, 2 feasts! *Kenyang sungguh...*
Then, we headed off to Orchard Road for the GSS- Grand Singapore Sale!
First stop, Takasyimaya. There were SO many people..rimas pun ader. We saw Carter's outlet, and starting to browse thru the adorable bajus...
This one says "Daddy & I agree: Mommy's the Boss".
And this one "Who needs a Superhero when I have Mum"
But I didn't buy these caused it looks more for "Boys". I wanted more neutral based bajus. Halfway thru, we took a train to Centrepoint. I was quite disappointed caused no one offered me a seat in the train. "Well, your tummy is not that big yet. Plus, it is just one stop.." Mr Bert said. Hmmphh..fine!
At Centrepoint, I managed to meet up with Emma, my ex-housemate in Adelaide. It was great to meet her, but only for 30 minutes! Oh well, next time perhaps..
Here's our first "overseas" (cheewahhh) photo together.. The Bert family! :)
And below, are the bajus we bought for Munckin.
1) "I Love Hugs" top
2) A ducky top & bottom.
3) A rainbow baju that says "Mom makes me smile". My favourite by far.
(I hope it doesn't look too girlish if Munckin is a boy..)
So far for the GSS, I only bought 3 tops for my baby! well, I still have 4 more months until Munckin is out. More bajus to come! :D

This was a back-dated entry that I wanted to write. My mom registered us for HerWorld mag's "Mother's Day retreat". It was only RM 50 per couple at 7th Heaven at Pavillion. So, why not?
To be honest, I didn't know what my mom has sign us up for. We were slightly delayed (due to the jam), and when we arrived, they were about to start with the Cupcakes making, organized by Cupcakes Chick! Sweet~
Each mother-daughter couple will make 4 cupcakes, with different designs. So we headed from table to table & the lady will show us ways to decorate the cupcakes.
This is the 2 out of the 4 cupcakes that both Mama & I made. I made the ribbon one (not bad huh?) while mama did the flower one.
There was a leopard cupcakes, but my "spots" were too big & ugly. :P But Mama & I enjoyed making the swirling cupcakes. You need to have a good hand control to swirl the cream around the top of the cupcakes, and just sprinkle some "beads" & "flowers" ..and voila, my very own swirly cupcake! :)
Not long after it was lunch, they served Japanese "Teppanyaki & Sushi", which I finish the entire plate! :p
The next session includes a 'lingerie' fashion show (yes I know, so in-appropriate for me at this moment..wouldn't fit into any of it), a bra demo, a L'occataine demo, hair demo (we skipped that), leg massage demo..and Make up demo! We all got a free Make over by STAGE makeup!
Posing mosing with Mama dearest after our make over session..
At the end of the 'retreat', everyone got a lucky draw. I got a free facial session at Sothyls. And not forgetting our goodie bags, which was filled with SO many things! Overall, it was a good session, worth paying RM 50, and you get all these goodies. I really enjoyed myself! Thanx mama... "Happy Belated Mother's Day" :)

She's too cute! She smiled when she first saw me! (just like how Aiman did when he was a baby). Congrats Aina & David.
And of course, I took some shots with the 'Abang', Aiman. He's grown so much!
