loooongggg winded

Can you identify the most long-winded person in my family?

My dad speaks slowly and repeats a phrase a few times before he finally finishes his sentence. e.g "I went to see that person, that person, i went to see that person in charge......."

My mum repeats the same story to different group of listeners on separate occassions.

My fil seldom repeat his words nor sentences.

My mil normally repeats a story 1+n(n=number of people in the same room) times. She will relate a story to everybody in the living room, then repeats the same story to each and everyone again: 1 time for fil, 1 time for hubby, 1 time for me although all of us are sitting in the same living room. A total of 4 times at least. She even asks the same questions over and over again. My mum does that too but not so frequent.


Next question: How do you stop a long winded person from repeating the same stories?

i hate this

I know it's disgusting!! I have no idea how it started and why it happened. If you're lucky you will not get this during your pregnancy. I applied stretch mark lotion when i was 5 months pregnant and when the marks weren't even there. By 6th month, i thought i was very lucky to be blessed with no marks on my tummy. But i was so wrong. The marks appeared on 7th month and the lines are getting more each day. It's 3D, long and deep mark. I still put on a lot of lotion every night but to no avail. I have to bear with the marks for the rest of my life. No more low waist jeans for me. Come, cry together with me. Oh yeah, my belly button is as ugly too.

2 months to go

I’m finally 8th month pregnant. The government doc suspected i have placenta pravia when i was 28weeks pregnant. It's the case where placenta is lying low in uterus when it should be located quite high on top. Normally, people with placenta pravia will experience bleeding during pregnancy or even early delivery. Scary or not? First, the government doc suspected that i have diabetes & hypertension due to my weight increased 4kg in a month. The result showed negative. Now they want to scare me with placenta pravia. I have to go for a few rounds of scanning and check up to ensure the placenta is still at the same place and not lower. In the meantime, I cannot do any house chores at all. All I need to do is sit and rest for the rest of my pregnancy. No more 3 hours walk in shopping centers now. Oh yeah, I’m going to post a baby p*orn pic here. Guess what’s that. I asked the doc to focus on that "part" so that I can bring the pic back and show everybody including in-laws =)


Surprisingly, my weight only increased 0.5kg from last month when it should be 1kg. Must be due to the toothache.

more items

I just love Avent products (this is not a paid post). We did a lot of shopping last month since there were so many holidays. Hubby and i went to a few shops and shopping complexes to compare Avent products before buying them. Finally, we ended up buying the products from a shop at Raja Uda, operated by a young couple. The shop was having opening promotion and i guessed we were just lucky.

Since we've decided to breastfeed exclusively and not depending on formula, we decided to get Avent ISIS Manual Breast Pump. The electric pump is much better option but the price is a bit too high for us. Many of my friends recommended manual pump as you can control the pressure and not hurt your nipples badly. So just got Avent ISIS Manual Breast Pump for RM175.

FIL doesn't like the idea of sending the baby to baby-sitter, so MIL offers to take care of the baby full time, excluding night time. To ease her baby sitting task, hubby got Avent iQ 24 Electronic Steam Sterilizer so that she dun have to sterilize the bottles using traditional way and it's time consuming. I can also use this sterilizer to cleanse my breast pump. The price, RM409. Pretty expensive but i hope mil knows how to use it. I haven't learned myself :P

We are supposed to get Avent Express Bottle and Baby Food Warmer from the same shop but it was out of stock. This item is selling like hot cakes according to the shop owner which i doubt so. RM220 for a set like that, who would buy it except working people like us. Frozen or refrigerated breast milk is not supposed to be boiled or heated by microwave. MIL will be having hard time to heat up refrigerated breastmilk, so this is a necessity for her. Just 4 mins and you will have a just nice milk to feed the baby.

I think the shop owners love us.

where are my toes

I just realised this morning, i cannot see my toes while i was having my shower in the bathroom!!! Hubby has been very helpful to cut my toe nails for me although he dun shapethe nails like i always do. I need to sit on a stool or my bed to put on my pants since i cannot bend easily anymore. My waistline is 40 inches with a 41 inches butt. I had to get new bras last month with much bigger cups. I'm turning into a giant mama. Another weight measurement tomorrow and i think it's going to touch 75kg. Darn.......

don't you just love chocs

I took a short trip to the kitchen in between advertisements to have a glass of water. Right after that, i went back to the sofa and turned into a mermaid. All of a sudden, hubby leaned down on my face, grinning, with one finger poking on one side of my cheek. Then he repeated his action with another side of my cheek. I thought he was trying to be funny. You know what, he was actually checking whether did i slip any Hershey's into my mouth or not. @#$#@!! But can't blame him too, i'm now in my 30th week of pregnancy and facing serious constipation problem :P I visit the toilet 2-3 times a week compared to daily. The constipation started 2 weeks ago but still i cannot resist chocs after each meal. I just love the feeling of chocs melting in my mouth to cleanse my tongue after eating. Guess i will have to take more veggies & fruits and avoid chocs (hardest thing to do) :P
