36th Week and going on..

I had my appt yesterday at KKH..Abang accompanied me, as usual..Had a growth scan at 2pm..the radiologist didnt say much to me..she was rather talking to an apprentice..in chinese some more..and she was quite rough when she was doing the ultrasound scan on my tummy..she pressed the eqpt hard on my tummy and it hurt..she didnt even ask whether im ok or not..ask me to turn sideways to have a better scanning access..ask me to cough..i coughed but my girl moved a little..then the radiologist starting poking (like shaking) my tummy, tryng to make my girl moved..so rude n it's painful, mind u..even my own gynae will warned me everytime that her fingers are cold when she wants to measure my tummy n check the heartbeat..worse thing of all, she didnt mentioned which part of my girl she was scanning..how wud u expect me to guess which is her head or body or legs..aiyah..luckily itz only less than 15 mins..if not, i definitely complained..i hope not to ever see or let her do the scanning for me again..oh yes, didnt even give me a complimentary photo of my girl..eee..soo angry..

anyway, after that, Abang & I had our lunch at the Kopitiam..I had my favourite Macroni chicken soup..simple dish but nice..i was still feeling hungry after a bowl but i tried to maintain..dunno why..morning i had my usual 2 slices of multigrain bread with a piece of cheese..after that, we walked around the shops for a while (almost an hour) before proceeding back to the clinic..i took my queue number and routine tests to register for my 2.55pm appt at the clinic before going for my scan at 2pm..coz i really cannot tahan my bladder as i've been holding it from office for the routine tests..

went in to see Dr Marianne at abt 3.55pm..waiting time wasnt that bad..unlike the last 2 weeks..we waited almost 5.30pm for my 2.55pm appt time..dat one was terrible..fasting mth some more..cannot eat nor drink..juz sit down waiting & waiting..my gynae had to go for an emergency operation dat day..so oklah..so as per normal, Dr Marianne checked this n that n I'll see her next week and the week after until i've given birth..told me frm the scan dat my girl now roughly weighed abt 2.7kg..her size n heartbeat are good..but told me to maintain my weight..more exercise for me..

after that, we went to Toys R Us to get Danial's present for his party this sat..den later we went to Bedok to pick Syakir up..Met the rest at Cik Tam's house for hari raya..after that, we went to Nek Asmah's house before proceeding to go home..very tired..we went to Cik Teh n CikYat's houses the night before..makan chappati n murtabak..

right now, i feel like going back home..no mood to work..juz having my usual migraine..either im too tired or not enuf sleep..not dat im not sleepy at night..itz juz getting more n more uncomfortable sleeping sideways n even lying on my back..even wen i sit too long on the chair or sofa, not comfy..i sometimes resort to sitting on the floor..anyway, next is my last week of working before i go for my maternity leave for 8 weeks..then i'll be back on 8 Jan 07..for the rest of the 4 weeks or 20 working days that im entitled to, i'll take in short days of leave..see how..maybe 2 or 3 days leave every week..provided it doesnt clash with my bedok PIE project next yr..

dunno whether to take mc or half day leave..really dun feel like working today..tonite Mak Usu is coming over for hari raya..so maybe i'll buy some mee goreng or murtabak later..

kaylah..i nid to settle some werk..will blog again in time..

Alritey..

Wat a Month!!

Yikes!! itz been soooo looonnggg since I've blogged..me very busy..with work esp..gots lots of junction fibre diversions to prepare n plan..furthermore we're moving to Yio Chu Kang in a week's time..so we're packing n packing those bulky equipments n slowly moving those stuff we can move first one at a time..n guess wat, maybe by 2 years' time, we'll be moving to Pasir Ris..sigh..waste of money only these ppl..watever it is, itz gonna sucked big time coz there wun be any shopping malls nor a wide variety of food stalls..there's only one malay stall (the only stall) in the canteen and around the area, there's isnt any other stalls..the nearest i think wud be the jalan kayu roti prata..sigh..looks like i can slim down as well as save money wen i get there..abang sure happy..

niway, enuf abt work..i went for my 7 mth growth scan last week and cudnt see the baby clearly..dunno wat the radiologist was scanning at..she said, "this is the head..this is the tummy..etc"..i went "uhuh..uhuh..uhuh..."..but dunno wat i uhuh for also..dat day, abang took half the day off and we brought syakir along as well..syakir was practically following wherever i went..he stood beside me during the scanning..even while Dr M was checking the baby's heartbeat..followed me wen i checked my weight n bp..abit naughty dat day..dun wanna walk..asking his papa to carry him most of the time..i wanted abang to follow me coz on dat day i got scanning appt..so he can see his daughter..n to bring syakir along since he had never follow me for appts before..but dat was a bad idea..one thing is the very very looonnnggg waiting time juz to see the doctor..even after having our lunch and came back abt an hour later frm my appt time, we still nid to wait another hour..n syakir wudnt sit still..talking in loud voices n runnung here n there.. i gave up..i brought him outside to get some drinks n snacks..quieten him down for a while before he started to wan to pour his own drink frm the cooler..sigh..n it started all over again..

den after my appt, we dropped by at John Little dept store to get the Quinny Zapp stroller for syakir..since it was on sale at 299 frm 399..finally we decided on the blue colour instead of orange..only 2 options of colours by the way..so while waiting for abang to pay for the stroller first, syakir n i looked around the store for other stuffs..the salesman who was in charge of the Quinny stroller was abang' s army friend..so he showed us ways to remove the covers n to fold the stroller..wen abang was queuing, he assembled the stroller for us n let syakir sat on it..after abang has paid, we thanked him n he went off..suddenly abang asked me to get out of the store quickly..i said why..i still wanna shop for other stuff..he said next time..i thot he must haf coincidentally saw his ex-gf n wanting to avoid her or something..but wen we're finally at level 1, he said he paid only 149..i asked him why..he dunno know..he only know dat his friend gave the cashier a yellow card to pay before collecting the stroller..then the cashier scanned n the register stated 249..n since abang is paying using the robinson's member card, there's a 100 off..so itz 149..abang was surprised but didnt mentioned anything to the cashier..coz he thot his friend was kind enuff to give further discount as staff..i told abang it cudnt be coz the price of 149 is the cost of the battery-charged car on sale there..better looked at the receipt..yikes, itz true..the receipt was printed as car..i was like yikes!!..we got a Quinny Zapp for half the price of the discounted price..syukur alhamdulillah..rezeki syakir..n no, we didnt cheat anyone..it was pure coincidence dat the guy made an error n we tot otherwise..furthermore, at least we paid 149 rather than not paying anything at all..n syakir likes his Quinny..wudnt share wif his cousins...naughty..but in the end, he let them haf a try..the stroller is a breeze to push esp wif syakir's weight..wif his lucky baby stroller, it takes some effort to push..but it can recline..but still not much space him also..but not Quinny..itz in sitting up position..so wen he falls asleep we nid to adjust hishead a bit to make as comfy as possible..but the frame of the Quinny can be exchanged with a baby car seat..juz remove the covers n attached the brackets..n the most impt thing of all, it can be folded to half the size of regular stroller n easily put at the back of our Getz..juz 1/3 of the boot space..nice!!

today is the 5th day of Ramadhan..so far alhamdulillah im fasting n doing well..only thing is dat i get sleepy easily n thirsty..u know, we pregnant ladies tend to sweat alot more than normal becoz of the increase in red blood cells..datz why for these few days, i didnt went out during lunchtime..spent my time inside taking short naps n playing games..walked around for toilet visits n prayers. dats all...most of the time, i'll be sitting at my desk..im practically bored n quite uncomfortable..coz my little girl has been very active these few days..kicking n turning like nobody's business..now i think shez sleeping...or having a rest..if not, my tummy will be like moving n distorted by her stretching n exercising..nevertheless, im still thankful as i know dat she's active n healthy..n the week before my hands n feet were abit swollen due to water retention i think..but now they're much better..i juz wish i cud lie down straight on my back to ease my backache..if only..

alrite den..getting longer..will update again next time..feeling lethargic actually..imagine having to sleep after midnite n den waking up at 4.30am..working thru the day n reach home for breaking of fast n den waiting for abang to finish his terawih..usually after 10pm..den we go home..then i do my housework before getting to bed after midnite again..routine routine..cobaan!!!

Alritey!!!

25 WeeK AppT

Went for my appt at KKh yesterday.. had lunch wif nana before heading there..nearly had given up tp take the taxi wen i had to wait for another shuttle bus..but alhamdulillah it came 10 mins later..reached KKH abt 2.30pm and straight away check in ..did my routine test (urine n BP) coz i cud no longer hold my bladder..all normal..n so the bloody wait started frm thereon till 4.10pm..mybutt was cramped..and the waiting hall was so full of people..mind dat my appt time is at 2.50pm..i shud haf gone shopping n come down 1/2hr later..Dr M called in and i was out in 10 mins time..aiyah..was so bored..even read the surah yassin till finished..

after paying for my vitmains at the pharmacy, i went to Mothercare..i bought for my little girl a set of 3 sleepsuits, a set of long sleeve blouse wif pants and 5 pairs of socks..all in beautiful colours shade of pinks n yellow..soooo cute..wanted to buy more but refrained myself to next mth in order to indulge..but if i can find any good buy or sale, i gotta grab it..cannot actually depend on Nana for Adlina's baby clothing since she herself is pregnant also..yes, my sista and i for the 2nd time are pregnant within months..but this time round, im going first..i hope she'll be getting a boy since abg adam really wants a boy this time..insyaAllah..

back to story..after spending on my little girl though i was so tempted to buy more, i took the taxi back home to mama's place..was quite tired with an aching back, so no choice..furthermore, which pregnant lady wants to be crushed or even ignored inthe bus nor the train?..daddy asked why didnt i asked him to pick himup..i said itz ok furthermore he finished at 3pm, so wudnt want him to wait for me..he said itz alrite..so sweet my father..

sigh.. i had my werkplace..not dat i had my job but currently my job is being "taken over" slowly by another person..on the expense of me going for maternity leave soon..so wat do i do wen i come back next year?..n i hate the fact dat the whole place is full of chinese speaking (who actually speaks chinese to one another) and im the only malay around..not i dun understand them..sigh..irritating as it may be to me but wat can i do?..i wanna be somewhere i can do a job dat is permanently mine, not sharing..except the fact dat i do nid covering officer to cover me wen i go on leave..but not taking away my job..itz ridculous wen ur boss asked u to work on dis or dat but af ter a few months, he get someone else to do it for me..not once but many times..is it dat im not a good employee?..or im not doing a good job?..they said cover only but infact they are taking over it..pathetic it may seem but im currently doing zilch at werk rite now..dats why ive got so much time to spare by playing online games and blogging..

no doubt i was promoted but not because of good job dat i've contributed in the dept but the fact remains dat i've been werking here since 2001..sigh..dunno wat to do..i tot of going out but not rite now..maybe during my confinement, i'll check out other vacancies..i like the benefits n pay given here but i cant stand the people (85% are old people abve 50) working here..

kaylah..haf to pretend wif alot pf stuff to do wen infact is otherwise..im gonna find somewhere i find enjoyable to work on..sigh..no wonder i dread going to work every morning..not juz seeing allthose people but also with not much werk assignments..

Alritey..
