Finally! Upgrading over! Woohoohoo! This week was spent spring-cleaning and spending an obscene amount of time in my bathroom, making up for all the lost time I spent in there the past 2 weeks. we were taking our own sweet time cleaning the house, whats with everyone being shack and all, but our efforts was hastened when Mona and Nurrul called saying theyd like to come over last weekend, heh. First visitors. We made only 5 kuihs for raya this yr? Peeping into my kuih cupboard, I realised 2 of them were three-quarter way gone. Choc-chip now gone. We finished 1 big container each of the other 2 kuihs. the cookie-monsters being none other than my family members. So yest when mona n nurul were at my place, I served them my last servings of choc chip cookies. I did have the good intentions of serving them my choc eclairs, but choc eclairs were in high demand, u see.. and there were barely enough for me, my brother and imran. So….nvm, theres always the thought. I do think of my galpals, if only for a moment, as I greedily gobble down my eclairs, so there. Heh.. Next time, I’ll make 2 batches…







Ive moved on, u know. In this case, it involves me giving away raya money instead of receiving them. bleah… by the time I blink and open my eyes again, I’d be dragging my kids to relatives’ houses and itd be their turn to get raya money.

Talking bout kids and getting pregnant, the deeparaya celebration concert was long over. Din manage to snap photos cos I suck at multi-tasking. I was up there too busy trying to coordinate my moves.

During the break, I was sitting around with the other malay colleagues. 3 married and pregnant at some point or another, and 2 unmarried and clueless bout the whole sprouting-out babes biz. So there they were talking bout the real deal and low-downs of pregnancy, and tho they stated the details in a matter-of-fact way, it scared the bloody hell outta the 2 of us who had never pop babies.

Did you know:

1. contractions can last up to ten hours or more and they feel like your most terrible stomach cramps, cept this time its at the side, and it comes every ten minutes? Thus rendering you sleepless even tho your doctor gives u stuff tat would noarmally allow u to see tinkerbells circling your head.
2. sometimes the head of the baby is soo big they cant push it out, so theyd have to snip snip snip the opening? i mean.... er, hello,doctor? *taps surgeon on shoulder* tat freaking hurts, dam it!!!!
3. after the doctor stitches u up after giving birth through the caeserian means, those stitches will throb painfully?
4. u cant walk properly after giving birth?- like duh…
5. the mammary glands could be so full of milk when ure lactating such that u can actually leak milk? moooo…
6. when ure lactating, ur boobs would be so big and firm n tight, which are all fair n good, but theyd hurt like crazy too, which is yards away from fine?!

I mean, y do guys have it so easy? I dun care, ive made up my mind. My future husband would have to stand by my hospital bedside during childbirth. Ill make sure i squeeze his hands til his fingers snap, just to let him have the tiniest bit of a taste of childbirth..

anyways.... this would be the last week of work before my hols. A friend asked me if ive enjoyed my time in this profession. This is wat have to say:

Hell, yeah!
