birthday

older and way too phat

i swear i forgot and was reminded by him just yesterday...sigh

i had just signed on to the Great Eastern Ladies Run

that means it had been a YEAR since i last exercise

that explains the obesity and depression that i am facing.

my lovely family brought me to Swensen's today
and let me order anything i want
when i am suppose to be on a diet!!
so you think 1 special event won't hurt
it will when every day is the bl**dy event...heh.

so my handsome hubby didnt get me any gift this year

despite coming home from abroad recently

i was dreaming of this

or maybe even this

now back to my family

eating out is getting to be a pain

a really backaching event

here is our attempt to get a pic together

pancakes

perfect recipe

for a sunday morning

1 cup of self raising flour

1 cup of milk (250ml)

1 egg

be warned that a 250ml milk bottle was proved too much. use the same cup to get the milk ration. i used my kids milk powder and it taste just as good. super fluffy and light. very professional. to think i wasted my money on pancake mix and McDonald's. these can be eaten sweet or savoury with sausages.

you think they like it?...

final of countdown

piano

obviuosly NOT..

since the craze of baby einstein

i started playing the featured pieces on the organ

i am not a player myself but i manage the tunes

so he got the beginner's piano books from his friend

then he got on you tube to learn more favorable tunes

he actually searched for bohemian rhapsody

crazy fellow..today he made huge progress

he is playing the famous tune of EUROPE

again n again n again

at least he makes the $39 worth while

my dream is to see my kids playing the piano

rhapsodize

bohemian rhapsody

abah played it repeatedly one evening

the next day, missy was whinning for "music"

we were irritated coz none of the usual cds or programmes work

she cried for "music...music..."

abah had a hunch and played QUEEN LIVE at WEMBLEY dvd

bohemian rhapsody was the 'music' she wanted

she calls it 'THE PIANO SONG'

now this song is available in the car too

and be prepared to repeat 'ELISYA FAVORITE SONG'

again n again n again

Singapore Flyer

thanx to SPF we got ourselves some free tix

we still grumble when we had to purchase a child ticket and parking

much tourist and free loaders

we were much too busy trying to take pictures rather than taking in the sights around us

we were also busy trying to get the kids to behave

well one things for sure, we would never have ridden if it were not for the free promo

hope it helps singapore bring in the tourist even after the abseiling disaster

P.S finally a popeye restaurant, but miss the chance to savour it

British Got Talents !!

he stumble upon it due to its massive hits on YouTube

Susan Boyle

Flawless (dance)

Good Evans (singing family)

we knew this show brings out the best in "not-so-good-looking" people

something all other talent shows never do

its only fair and their abilities simply leaves us flabbergasted

it gives up hope...but these talents are simply hidden gems

there are many more in the world who are simply happy where they are

and never dream of being in the cruel world media

much to our loss

let us refresh our memory of the previous opera phenomena

Paul Potts (telekom commercial)

princess mania

they watch the show before sleep

they also don them to bed

in the day they become royalties

wearing shimmering gowns

playing by their castle

they also behave like a princess

temperamental princess

even the lil one dah pandai merajuk'frust nonggeng'

ummiE

royal la maison

a castle fit for lil' princess(es)

princess fever has hit the household

we have almost all the disney classic fairytales and barbie collection videos

princess fever even hit the pc's wallpaper and theme

so it is only right for abah to build them a castle

everyone pitched in..even our visitor

then a giant princess threatened to bring it down

but it was saved by a royalty

..princess elisyah mirza

ummiE

double trouble

running nose?

the lil one is enuff to test your patience

but you tend to lose it when the bigger sis chips in

she too wanna be caught in the act

not sure if she wants me to take her photo

or she wants me to scream at her too

lost my baby..

miscarriage

on friday 27/3/09 at lunch, i saw the first trickle of blood. told a friend and she said it's gonna be a girl..again! we laught it off. then come asar they was another trickle. i clean it off worried. it was a long day at work with lots of walking. at home come dusk, i went to check to prepare for maghrib. there it was again. too much for trickle and looks like my menses was coming. i cried. we were not sure what to do or where to go.. he went searching for clues on the net and babycentre.com i called my gynae. i have not met her for this pregnancy yet. i explained my situation to her. so she told me that things may not meant to be. she told me to sit this one out and no need to go to the hospital. ok so i stayed home.

come saturday 28/3/09 morning there was no more blood. i called her again and ask to go in. but she was going out for surgery. so i made an appointment for monday morning. we went out for lunch at compasspoint. then head to his mom's place. then i went to check and there was blood. we broke the news to his family. they tried to comfort us. i wept quietly.

Sunday 29/3/09 i went to my mom's place. in late afternoon the bleeding was getting heavier. i changed my pad at the hour twice. at six we left for home. in the car the cramps were getting heavy. i popped panadol as we move off for home. it was like someone sitting on my tummy it was intense. we stop at jalan kayu to get dinner. i waited in the car. i call my manager and colleagues. i am not coming in and broke the news of my miscarriage. should i go hospital i thought... at home as i got out of the car. i felt the gush of blood burst out of my body onto my pants. i walked up my unit, climbing the stairs like a penguin. blood had spread and soaked my pants. the very sight of it got me crying. in the toilet as i open and peep onto my pants. THERE IT WAS. THE LUMP OF ME, EXPELED OUT ON MY PANTIES. all the blood turned my white panties red. the thick blood clots and the lump all pooled on the pad. i cried and sobbed so loud. he came in to check on me. DAH JATUH. DAGING DIA DAH KELUAR..i took a closer look at the lump to see if there was any features. none.. it looked just like liver. it was pink and triangular all soaked in thick red blood. i wrapped everything in a bag. rather clueless what to do next. i changed and climb on the bed to cry some more and rest.

monday 30/3/09 morning i went to visit my gynae. i went up alone. told her of my experience. she gave me a medal of honour for being brave to sit it out. not only does it saves me money ($2k) it is also a natural recovery instead of an invasive surgery to clean up. she scan me and everything looks fine and good. i went back home to rest some more as i was still having nausea and mild cramps. i stayed at home for the whole week!

on tuesday 31/03/09 we buried the lump together with babyLia's uri. Masjid Al-Istiqamah

a very emotional and dramatic experience for me. with God's blessing we believe it is fated for the better of things to come...
