Chicken Shit..

Swayed by superstition??
I know I am cute & irresistible,
but the comments will not
be greatly appreciated by mummy.
All she said was "Taik Ayam"
Direct translation reads "Chicken shit".

I wonder what's her reason for saying these two magical words?!!



And one more thing,
Mummy please accept the fact that I am definitely hotter than daddy,
I am sure the female readers do agree with me..
*blueks*

Okay now she is doing it virtually too!!!

TAIK AYAM!!!!!!

It is just pure superstition, when someone praises your baby, you have to say these two magical words. Its an old belief, if you do not say these two words, your child "may" be at risk in losing the appetite. Therefore, your child may not be so chubby anymore. But then again "Taik Ayam"??!!!

I happen to check my StatCounter
Not static heh like someone mentioned kwa kwa kwa,
oh never mind its a personal joke
I realised that some of my visits came from a very strange link ...
So I have decided to have a look..
Nope the person did not link me up..
but she wrote an entry that leads to my blog..
Hmm~

HERE IS WHAT SHE WROTE...


Can you believe me having kids & setting up a family?

I can't imagine it myself but i LOVE kids.

I love the feeling of having a baby of your own.

To doll up your pretty princess.

To shop for your little hero.

To take a family photo.

~SH-weeet, right?

I've been reading 3 or even more pregnant woman's blog.

It's such a beautiful feeling lar.

It feels like a complete woman.

I think I've blog about the same thing thrice, right?

Am obsess with being pregnant & setting up my very own family.

I'm trully sure that now is not the right timing but I like syiok sendiri lar.

And I can imagine the "dada" is mr habaa habaa.

Pardon me for the never ending berangan!~

HAHA.

~OH Keep On Dreamin', Miss Atikah!

Dear Miss Atikah,
I have nothing against your entry. In fact I was smiling upon reading it, I like it. Yes being a mother is such a wonderful feeling, no doubt about it. ,

Talking about starting a family, I wonder why do people opt for the easy way out when they are not ready.

Recently, I watched an advert on the television, its about an infant crying out loud from a rubbish chute & a mother pushing her child in a stroller about to enter the elevator. To be honest, I am not really sure what is it all about.

My point is, its totally inhuman to discard your baby in such a manner, let alone suggesting such an act!! Point to note, the baby is innocent.

Oh well, let's not get too emotional here..

"Aiyo mummy why get so emotional.....
Next time just blog about me okay.
I am the cutest thing on earth right??"

Old Macdonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

Virtual insanity?? Yes I am suffering from it, I keep on uploading pictures of myself Rayn. I want to capture every moment of my LJ. To be honest, I am enjoying my confinement period, just spending time talking, singing & reading to my dearest Rayn.

Anyway have you guys heard of this silly song before??

Tepuk amai amai belalang kupu2
Tepuk biar pandai nanti malam upah susu
Susu lemak manis
Santan kelapa muda
Itik bertelor ayam menetas
Cik baba jatuh dalam parit
Cik mina ketawa jerit2
kek kek kueh bangkit
siapa ketawa..
kene geletek...

Duh!! Okay enough of silly Malay songs.. lets move on to classic English songs shall we, I sing the "Old Mcdonald Song" almost everyday!! Up to a point, that I run out of animal sounds to make!!! Anyone knows how a big fat bear sounds like?? Ask Mr Bear himself *chuckles* why not ask "oh badak" shall we??



presenting the "oh badak" thighs...


the two guys with the thunder thighs!!!

E-I-E-I-O~

My song life is incomplete without both of you~

PS: Happy birthday Mag & Julie..

First Rest..


I simply can't get enough of Rayn. I take pictures of him all the time. Excuse my obsession now!! Rayn hates camera flashes now, so if you come over and see him, no flashes please. Yup Rayn hates paparazzi!!! To start with, I am the main irritant!

"Enough visits mummy, I am tired!!"

I still have friends who are coming over to visit him, please be patient, my sincere apologies. Its either he is cranky or the mummy is. Ignore the mummy part, she probably do not get enough attention these days, cos now its diverted to Rayn. I am just kidding, how can I ever be cranky just by looking at Rayn!!! No more hormonal changes!!!

Do I have a problem with sleepless nights?? Not yet, it can be an enjoyment, if someone shares it with you. We just have to learn how to give & take.

Dear Sheila, you were wondering the other time how we are coping. We play by rest periods these days. Tonight I am going for the first rest (airline term). Really, "ultra long flight" is not that bad after all. Never mind the "turbulent weather", you just have to adjust yourself to it.

Is it Parenting or is it a Parent Thing??

Hair tied up in a tight ponytail, dressed in a sleeveless top & cotton pants & not forgetting the football socks. Do I dare ask whether I look appealing anymore? Looking appealing is one thing, with the "param" & "pilis" do I dare ask whether I smell good anymore?? Thank god, I am allowed to shower, unlike some tradition, shower is a total no-no during confinement.

Besides looking silly rather than appealing. I sounded silly as well. I sound like my mum these days. You will not believe what a "mother" I have become. I am a master of silly songs when comes to "timang-timang" & "ngempeng" of the baby. Never mind if you don't understand it.

Let me quote an example of a silly song. Please take note, mothers you can try singing this song during bathing time.

"Oh badak, oh badak mintak daging banyak banyak~"

Yes I sound silly right. That is just one of my silly songs, there are more actually!!! Initially A.L will open his eyes real big when I sing those silly songs, now he sings along. Oh what "great parents" we have become.




Rayn stares at his mummy & daddy, when he hears our lovely voice! Blueks!!
Let me try another song..

The Secret Recipe..



I had a conversation with my dearest Kin recently, she has not visit me cos I have told most of my friends to hold on. I told her I have so many "pantangs", becoming like a "nenek-nenek." With the "jamu", "obat periuk" & "bengkung" I have never felt more traditional!!! You guys do not need translation right?? If you can translate my Italian entry why not this!?!!

I was boasting to Kin, about the magical "bengkung", the super "wrap"!!! In less than a week, my tummy was flat like before.. seriously I am not exaggerating. Credits to slim wrap or probably due to breastfeeding. Tummy was the easiest part of my body to shed that kilos plus no stretch marks!!! Even my "kakak urut" was amazed. Maybe I am SUPER thick skinned, okay that explains it. My arms & thighs are still big & please do not remind me of my hips.. HIPS DON"T LIE!!! One place that is totally huge right now is my "milky way", I told Ida, macam Dolly Parton seh with my small waistline~ We both started giggling like a total bimbo. Of all person Dolly Parton?!!!! Duh!! I bet its temporary.. =P

OK admit it. I am super plump right now. At full term I was a 58.5kg, now if the weighing scale is not playing tricks on me, I am a 52.8kg. I still have a long long way to go. My cheeks are chubby like Rayn, only difference is, its cute on him NOT ME!!!

With a strict healthy diet & no more eating after 7pm. I hope to achieve something within that 44 days of my confinement period. I am back to counting carbs & calories again. Only this time ensuring I have enough intake due to breastfeeding. I am not going to short change my Rayn, just to look good, it has to be a healthy DIET.

On another point, man normally says they prefer curvy women. Can we trust their words?!! To me its not about impressing the man, its for my personal satisfaction. They say when you look good, you feel good too!!!

Let me set a target, hmm how about 46kg?? When there is a will, there is always a way!!

Speak no Evil??

Another picture grabbed from Azrieda..
Rayn hates MITTENS..
He has his ways of removing them!!!
Oh dear, I am afraid that he will scratch his face!!
Solution: I will wrap him up, securing his hands by the side,
with the baby blanket!!!
Outcome???

"Mummy I may be tiny,
but I still have my ways of getting my hands out,
I promise I won't scratch my face okay!!!"

Bedtime stories..


Rayn please don't frown,
or else u have that permanent lines
on your forehead just like daddy..


Ok that is so much better now..

Flowers For Rayn??

I am still not done with my updates.
I grabbed these from Miss Hartini's multiply..
As my stay at the hospital was really short,
(doctor discharged mummy & son right the next day
as we both are doing great)
Sorry to cancel visits the next following day..
apologies extended..
Still we really had too many visitors,

Please hold on..

thanks for all the emails!!!

The greatest love of all..

Love happens in a strangest way..
We stood strong to the test of love..
And Insyallah, lets pray its for eternity..
Some say we will never make it..
No matter what..
in life..
"Some" will not stop saying..
Through rain & shine ..
we stood by each other..

The luggage bag..

I was preparing the "hospital bag" & look at how cute Blacky is.
He probably wants to tag along....
No not yet Blacky..

Warning: Please check bag before leaving the house..

I do not want a black cat running around in the maternity ward!!

The Devil Wears Prada..

I received a text message from Sheila all the way from Frankfurt. She is getting me my baby bag. Yeahness!! I am pretty excited and I just have to blog about it! It is not a really expensive bag, and nope it is not a Prada. It is just a normal simple bag. Getting it in Frankfurt or Paris is definitely much more cheaper than purchasing it in Singapore. In fact my priorities have changed especially now I am entering motherhood, I no longer go crazy during Gucci sales!!! I figure a bag its just a bag. Its nice to have designer tags if its within my limits, why not. If its too expensive I can do without.

Thank you Sheila, but I am still deciding on the colours which I prefer. You still have Paris right next week.. Hmm~

Talking about Prada, I was appalled when I read a comment on the analysis of owning designer bags like Prada. She claims that owning one may lead to your husband's bankruptcy that is why she rather not have one. On top of that she described Prada under the category of high maintenance. So what is the issue she is trying to exhibit here?? Say no to Prada it kills spouse instantly?? Oh please enlighten me.

Not all men are willing/can afford to foot the bill. It is not a matter of you "rather not have" or you rather not be "high maintenance", let us be more realistic. If it is me, I will not reject. Why not? Macam pepatah melayu "rezki jangan ditolak, musuh jangan di cari."

Next, let me tell you a boring story of my life, at the age of 16, I own my first Prada canvas dark blue haversack & the price tag was $780.00. Warning you may choose to yawn or click exit. How did I get so much money? I earned it. I was working part time during school holidays to get that stupid bag!!!

These days even students can afford to carry designer bags. Teachers do not get jealous okay!! I get jealous, wondering where these kids get their money from or maybe where they get their bags from??

I confessed carrying designer bags at that point of time did boost my self esteem (during my teenage years). You are like the envy of your friends. Childish right? Oh well I was 16 back then. Now its not about that anymore, it happens to be one of my favourites besides Gucci.

Back to high maintenance?? How would you classify the category? I mean it covers in a lot of areas besides designer tags right?

The outlook? There are some lucky women who just look prosperous (in more common term "tai-tai"), but in actual fact they use the cheapest skin care & normal range of make-up. Some not so lucky ones may indulge in the most expensive skin care( going for endless spa treatment), expensive make-up or even getting the world class make-up artiste to do wonders, but still, they fail to look extravagant. So blame it on the genes?

My point is why bother or start engaging in useless conversations about how people lead their lives. Leaving such comments will only reflect back on yourself. What a pity, judging from your profound literature. The more you compare and contrast makes you wanna compete more with one another. Frankly you are not a source for a competition to start with. Tiring isn't it?

There is nothing wrong in displaying, I understand some readers are not receptive to it. Oh well its a public domain, its open for anyone to read, judge & comment. I used to get paranoid when some stuffs I read triggers me. Not now, I am learning to contain my anger at such instances. Maybe I see things differently now, I see other importance in life.

I have a good therapist, I am improving, do you need one to contain your anger?
