me...364 days later

ni me rambling a few minutes before i turn to be 1 yr old...1 year since i became a mom

s: waa you so thin...no wonder you don't come for yoga anymore..
me: eh hehe
s: you on diet is it?
me: no la...where got diet (sorry aunty english)
s: then? is this your normal look ar?
me: not sure la..maybe

the reason why i stopped yoga...is that i love my lunch better :p yoga sessions are during lunch hours...and i cannot tahan la going without lunch (or even having a late lunch for that matter)

my normal look? i guess not..cos all my jeans are drooping and can't be worn without the aide of a belt and my slacks can slip off my butt anytime if i forget to pull it up again, but then again, maybe it is my normal look...back in 1999...

i've since reduced from being 77kg and water retentioned to become 55kg with everything that i wear seem to make me look smaller (i am blessed)

still pumping at work...and sofia's still addicted to breastmilk with no additional preservatives, thank god the supply can still cater for the demand...

with lesser and lesser interrupted sleep :)

biceps more toned, if you know sofia's weight, you'd know how i toned this...

alhamdulillah...i love being a mom...a hot one at that!! auwww hahahaha

p/s: ramai yang bertanya...when's #2? kita tunggu dan lihatlah

about being "on-time"

i always wonder how people can be soooo relaxed and act nonchalant when they've made you wait for ages...sorry takdak apa pun takdak

since school i'm sure kids have been stressed on the importance of being on-time.

in the manufacturing sector pun, employees are always stressed on the importance of "on-time delivery" (actually, its not just the manufacturing sector, in all types of sector pun) - if you want extra $$$ bonus ke apa ke...make sure your 'on-time delivery' goal is met. hence...kalau tak dapat la extra bonus for that year...jangan la dok bising "oh bosan la company ni...takde kasik extra bonus, nak pindah la, i heard 'so and so company' dapat bonus berlambak2", it's in a way kinda your fault gak sebab kerja lembab nak mati...procastinate is your 2nd nature (aku pun ada penyakit nih!!)

i personally...was one of those people who'd arrive at a rendezvous point 15 mins earlier...kalau lambat sket start la gelisah...peluh sejuk...sebab di nurtured kan untuk not make people wait
tapi lately...macam dah lembab lah pulak...dalam hati ada gak berbisik "nah...ko plak tunggu...asyik keje aku je menunggu!!!"

so for goal 2010...saya akan berusaha sedaya upaya untuk kembali semula ke pangkal jalan (kasik lagi sebulan lebih tu relax first) even though i have a daughter to prep up

takde kene mengene: i hate being the one that has to make decisions and plans...own your responsibility laaaaah!!!!

wall stickers

saya ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada puan izpuri kerna...

i have been surfing high and low to find wall stickers yang affordable and tak merapu2 price dia. without your blog entry pastinya saya akan tergolong dalam kalangan consumer yang rata-rata tertipu dengan harga yang telah di-set lebih tinggi...

sesiapa nak menghias dinding yang gloomy sila ke...

among others lah...

p/s: puan izpuri, your order has been processed and pending baking :p (a week before raya haji eh)

rumah stuff

*_*

2 packets of Nescafe 3-in-1 = headache & stomach ache in the morning

agagaga

we received the keys to the house...hence, entries in this blog will forever be filled with all things about kitchen cabinets, tiles, renovations, paints etc etc

(yeah rite, we'll see how far it'll last)

the area which have made me have sleepless nites..."the kitchen"

saya membayangkan sebuah kitchen cabinet yang modern with tiny multicolor glass backsplashes (yang mahal nak mati tapi ada slightly cheaper option of ceramic tiles seakan the glass one)

i wish to demolish the remaining existing wall cabinet witch which is sangatlah traditional but have received much feedback to keep it as it is :(

tapi saya nak jugak buat baru...tapi cukupkah uang?...tapi nak jugak lah...tapi boleh ke?

(persoalan yang amat annoying di hati but I have to live with it...hubbyku pun turut sama pening kepala tapi malam tadi tidak pening kerana LIVERPOOL TELAH MENGALAHKAN MAN. UTD LAST NIGHT MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA no wonder man U fans at the office senyap je...berkabung agaknya, Liverpool fans remain relaxed as always *woot woot*)

the area which is an interior designers worst nightmare..."the living room"

because of the awkward layout disebabkan previous owner telah mengalih the staircase untuk membuat area di mana dia boleh berhibur bersama rakan2 dan keluarga sambil membuat pelbagai jenis alcohol concoctions aka "the bar" which we have gladly demolish dengan senang lenangnya...pity I wasn't there...if I were memang boleh menghilangkan tension with whacking the place

but...interior designers will have no problem lah with laying out furniture in this area...mesti diorang berkata "hmmmph...senang gile...taik idung je nih"

itu sahajalah luahan hati after "sesi beramah mesra dan mengenali hati rumah baru weekend" (which was mainly spent caressing the walls...paint lah)

kawan-kawan...nominate me for "Deko bersama Eric" please ngeehehehehe

"funfilled" weekend

yaaa more like an exhausting weekend...last weekend was the last weekend of Syawal...dan seperti selebriti, telah mendapat undangan untuk menghadirkan diri ke social events seperti open houses and weddings. Terima kasih para rakan sekalian kerana menginvite kitorang.

p/s: Cda if you're reading this, kitorang sangat kagum ngan that girl yang beriya tolong jagakan sofia...siap ajar sofia kangaroo and tateh lagi...she's so bright, we like her very much.

Besides open houses, we also had to tend to our new 24x80 2 storey link house...sangat susah nak transform a house into a home...and don't ask when we're going to move in...we will when the time's right and when we've completed the paintjob and kitchen cabinets...pilih paint color sampai migraine tu...i blame the stench of the hardware store. Bab nak renovate rumah tu hmmm sabar je la... the quotations are scary to look at. What to do? move at a snail's pace, i bet snails move even faster kot. Duduk diam-diam and takleh spendthrift like I used to (x pernah la spendthrift sangat sebenarnya pun)...Yang penting rumah kitorang BESAAAAARRRRRRRRR hahahahaha

That's all lah...sebab terasa macam blog ni dah agak berabuk sket, lama x hapdet.

let's improvise: modify your regular bras into nursing bras :)

This entry is specially for nursing mothers...(but those who are interested to know are welcomed to read on...)

Ever since welcoming Sofia to the world...I've been having trouble looking for / fitting into a great nursing bra, plus, most of these nursing bra's are not T-shirt friendly too and have ugly lacy frills...yuck! And now...cos I've shrunked back to my old size, my nursing bras just hangs off my shoulders
So I figured...why not I modify my t-shirt bras I have at home. So I started googling and found this entry at http://www.mamasworldwide.com/ : How to make a regular bra into a nursing bra

Very interesting stuff... (picture taken from the site)

There's 2 methods for different bra strap types.

I can't wait to chuck my old nursing bras into the rubbish bin once I'm done with this project. Plus now I can enjoy handsfree pumping with my Medela Freestyle.

So momma's who are in the same boat, why not give it a try...we get to save money and get comfy and satisfied with our own handiwork!

Those who needs my help to modify...just holler ;) - but you'll need to prepare me with the hook n eye and the satin ribbons.........

do you dare?

do you dare to make that U-turn?

errr...pakar sangat ke kalau dah KO?
