an ordeal

Oh no, my stomachache is back. It's not due to pregnancy, i just hope i dun have to rush to the toilet for the 3rd time. Will be going over to mum's place for dinner tonight and since she has an ordeal for all of us, i'll be spending a night at her place. I wonder why is she so secretive about tonight. Perhaps she to disclose her will tonight? Dream on lar :P

stupid contractor

Siao! Crazy! Gila! Sampat!

I settled the renovation fee about 3 months ago with valid receipt and now the contractor is calling me telling me that i still have outstanding balance of RM550. At first, during my grandpa's funeral, the contractor called me telling me nonsense about oustanding RM50. Now, after a few months later, he called me to inform me about RM550 balance?!?!? Insane. First it was RM50, now RM550. I think they should just hire a new accountant or accounts clerk. I'm too lazy to entertain such people and asked him to call my dad. Let my dad teaches him a lesson. Disturbing me only.

more baby stuff

After knowing the gender of the baby, it kind of ease our shopping. Now we know what to buy and what to look for when we go shopping for baby stuff. Hubby is getting everything in blue, so sian only. We're not going to buy a lot of baby clothes as friend already gave us a few. Afterall, i will be in confinement home for a month and we dun really need so much clothes. Wanted to get a baby bath tub but it was so expensive. So will be getting one from the shops near our house instead. So much things to buy and so many things to think about. So busy!

busy busy

Last weekend was a busy weekend for the both of us. Saturday was spent on island for my monthly routine checkup and for us to know the gender of the baby. It turned out to be a boy ad everybody was so happy. Sunday was spent at home doing the laundry and cleaning the house a bit. I wanted to mop the floor as it's getting very sticky but hubby says no. What if i slip and fall and.... choi choi choi. Finished my house chore at almost 3pm and slept for an hour.

latest addition


Hubby got himself a Phillps Shaver from spore airport on to his business trip. Apparrently, this is the latest model and not yet sold in Penang. I'm not sure myself, but it looks so bulky yet elegant. Good thing is, this shaver comes with a free Phillips toothbrush too. Nice?

things on my dressing table

I was taking the pics of the things we bought for the baby and decided to take pic of my the things on my dressing table. I started using Dermalogica products on Feb this year when i signed up for their full facial package. The products are not bad, at least a lot cheaper than the one that i've been using 3 years ago. But i didn't like the facial as much though, the extraction was not thorough enough. Maybe i was used to people pinching on my face so hard to extract all the black heads and burst the pimples :P

Hubby's shaver and new toothbrush, baby's new milk bottles :D

my first encounter with KL Ikea

We did go to Ikea in the end. I know there is nothing to shout about but still, it was a smooth trip and i've been wanting to go there too since i went to the one in Spore. We only decided to go at 10pm on Friday night and started packing at around 11pm. Initially, we were going to postponed the trip to Raya holiday. But, i will be 7-month pregnant at time, and i dun think i want to go travel during that period. And i will be too heavy to move around in Ikea. So, on Saturday, we started our journey at 7.15am from Bworth and we reached Ikea parking lot at 10.38am. Early huh? Hubby sped all the way there at 120-140km/h only. So it took us about 3hours to reach there.


I was amazed on how big the building is. It's definitely bigger than the one in Spore. We grabbed a trolley and a magazine and start our tour inside Ikea. About 10mins later, my tummy starterd to growl. And we had to stop to eat. We ordered some meatballs, chicken frank, salmon & drinks. Too bad i cannot take coffee now, i would love to sit and enjoy the unlimited refill at RM3 only. So cheap huh.

Then we continued our tour. I was telling hubby everything is so expensive and the most is just window shopping. I was so wrong. Hubby saw a Poang chair and wanted to just bring it home right away. Siao ler. Our house is not that big and yet he wants to buy more furniture to crowd the living room. Since, he wanted it soooooo badly, fine, we'll be getting the red Poang chair only.

*pic taken from Ikea magazine

We came to Kid's section and saw a nice & simple babycot and some other baby stuff. Hubby, once again, got tempted and wanted to get the babycot to place in our room. Unfortunately, it was sold out and they will only replenish the stock by Dec. We came too early. Everything is nice in Ikea. We wish to bring back so many things and fortunately, our car is just too small *phew*

So we ended up buying a set of baby mattress, comforter, bedsheet & pillow, without the cot. It was not very cheap but still affordable. Afterall, the daddy-to-be wants to get something for his junior. How can i say no? :P


Come to think of it, we didn't buy much from Ikea, but our bill totaled up to RM600+. Hubby said that we were already very careful with our spending as his frens often spend thousands in Ikea. Gila or not? But i think if we have taken my parent's Avanza to Ikea, hubby will surely sapu more things. He was so obsessed with the things sold in Ikea. Believe it or not, we actually spent 6 hours plus in Ikea and i was not even tired. Before we left Ikea, we managed to grab some food from the Exit Cafe. Curry puff & hotdog bun & unlimited drink refill. Syiok only. It was a happy day for the both of us =)

We left Ikea to our friend's wedding dinner at 5pm. So basically, we only went to KL to shop at Ikea. While in the car on the way to Batu Gajah, hubby said "Shall we organize another trip here during Raya holiday?" I fainted...all the way to BG.

expanding tummy

The skin of my tummy is like going to explode anytime now. It's expanding, it's tight, it's itchy. My belly button is disappearing soon. Some say the belly button will protude, but mine is hidden inside. I have no idea why people kept telling me they cannot see my tummy yet. Blind izzit? :P

still waiting

I'm trying to get a software installed in hubby's notebook so that i can continue to work online. It's slowing down everything i do so might as well grab a few opps and start writing while waiting. I guess i won't be sleeping early tonight since both of us slept from 2-6pm just now, right after the hotel stay. Didn't get much sleep last night as we were disturbed by a few symphonies throughout the night. Real torture for the both of us.

words vs in person

I know CW & Zoe-T as we're from the same workplace. They then introduced me to Blooming Tree which then i got to know a few other friends: Moomookun & Sasi. I've met Blooming Tree and Moomookun in person but have yet to meet Sasi. Well, i have a few online friends and one of them is Kage, whom i've known since 2003 but we have never met each other. As for me, i would like to keep it that way, not meeting up. Cos i communicate better thru words than meeting face-to-face. Otherwise, this is what happen:

Me : Hello?
Bloomin Tree: Hello, it's me Blooming Tree.
Me : Hi, this is Our Journey.

Hahahahaha.....
