Workstation

How does your workstation looks like or what do you stare at throughout your day?

My workstation is not big enough to decorate any fancy-pretty stuffs. Next to my left screen I have a Bloomberg terminal, almost french-kissing my screen, and next to my right screen is my table calender almost cuddling that screen, and oh hello, no more table space.

We don't have cubicles here therefore you can see how I'm trying to be discreet with websites I browse through while doing work (check out the right pc).

My next door neighbor has a lil more space than me even though we have the exact table size! Well it's because most of the bloomberg terminal is on my desk!

*rimas*

But, I gotta live with it.

*sigh*

Anyhoos, I found a minty top at Zara (nope, not baju raya ;p). I was too close to getting it on Friday but I wanted to get it on Saturday instead but this momma fell sick all day Saturday!!

Also, I have not been fasting as of Friday 1:45pm.

*nangis teresak-esak*

I blacked out while window-shopping during lunch hour in KLCC.

*que horror face tapi comel*

One whole Saturday I was pretty much in bed and thank god we had Tangled (yes the Disney movie) on replay. Called in Dominos coz if I stood up for a bit, I would blackout.

There goes my Saturday!!

I'm guessing it has to do with me being Anemic and maybe I'm just not getting enough nutrients and liquid.

So, there goes this year's Ramadhan BUT I'm going to try to fast on alternate days but I'm still a little scared; I take the LRT to work and the last thing I want is to pass out like a fallen angel in a moving coach! Plus, I still feel a little woozy first thing in the morning; I think it's the low blood sugar too.

Well like my Doc says, "Every pregnancy is different; don't compare them".

Week 24 - 2nd Edition

I came across this last night after checking out the blog of one of many youtube-ers I am subscribe to. I like how she documents her weekly pregnancy progress; it's not too lenghty and it records exactly what you want to remember when looking back. Therefore, here I am about to do the same thing (yes you can call me a thieve all you want, but I ain't making money out of this though:p).

How far along? 24 weeks!

Total weight gain: Since I am just starting to do this; I have not been keeping up with my weight progress gain every week. The only time I do get on that dreadful weighing scale is when I'm at the Doc's clinic. However, I did get on one yesterday just to see if our scale was still working at home and sadly, I have gained 2kg in two weeks! Current weight=63.4kg.

Maternity clothes: I don't really buy maternity clothes. I only buy those maternity work pants for work and that's about it from a maternity store. I usually go to regular retailers i.e. Dorothy Perkins and buy something that is long enough to cover my belly and a size bigger than my usuals.

Stretch marks: Hell Yeah! I've got them from my first pregnancy. Oh well, the sacrifices my body make to have AWESOME bundles of joy; my kiddos.

Sleep: I try to sleep on my left side for better blood or was it oxygen flow to the baby. The downside of that, it hurts my shoulder. I wonder why?! Pffftt

Best moment this week: Ramadhan started on Saturday July 21st and I have not missed any yet, Alhamdulillah.

Miss anything? Sleeping on my chest.

Movement: Plenty! Alhamdulillah :) As a matter of fact, baby is awake as I'm blogging this out

Food cravings: Hmmmmm.. Too many to list!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Dirty Public Restrooms

Gender: Boy!

Labour signs: Nope!

Symptoms: Not much. The nausea is easing away. I'm fatigue a lot due to me being Anaemic. Shortness of breath especially if I'm talking while walking.

Belly button in or out? It's in. Mine was in all through my first pregnancy too.

Wedding rings on or off? Still On. This is GREAT news!

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Hub's baby clothes purchases when he gets back from US!! Yay :D

Officially in my 6th Month

It Might Be A Green!

I think I should start my hunt for Baju Raya soonish. I'm always a last minute shopper and I'm usually not that crazy about my purchases after seeing my cousins doning they're always awesome Baju Raya.*sigh*

I think I want to go green this year; for some reason green gives me that extra soothing-tingling-refreshing feeling. I LIKE!

I am so attracted to this minty green that I feel like splashing it all around my bedroom! Don't you feel like saying "Ahhhhhhhh......"?

I feel like eating this color! Om nom nom

I also HEART deep-dark-royal green like this one!

I think nail polish swatches are awesome-EST when it comes to helping you find the right tone of a particular color. Am I right or RIGHT?!

I hope I can find a really nice-wallet-friendly kaftan and it'll be absolutely FANTASTIC if it also comes in Maya's size. *wishing upon the Ramadhan Crescent*

How are your Baju Raya hunt? I'm sure a lot of you have sent yours to your best-EST tailor! *green with envy*

Salam Ramadhan 2012

Alhamdulillah, fasting has been okay for this preggo momma. At first, I wasn't planning to fast but thank god the first day of Ramadhan fell on a Saturday so I gave it a try and it wasn't torture at all. Yay!!

My non-muslim colleagues and boss were puzzled when they found out I was fasting; even though I gave them a good explanation, they still find it bizarre. Besides, there's no fun of Raya if you don't fast throughout Ramadhan right?

This year's 1st day Ramadhan hubs wasn't around, and my lovely aunt and uncle invited Maya and I for a sleepover so we could Sahur together. That morning, about 5-ish a.m. Maya woke up to the sound of us waking up and she too wanted to join us for Sahur. That was her 1st Sahur EVER! Therefore, here I am documenting it on my blog. Teehee ;p

We look good at 5-ish A.M. eh? ;p

Shared the bed with Maya and my cousin Sofea and they hogged my side of the bed. They just love my SWEET scent :D

Counting Days To Raya!!

It's Monday Already?!?

*yawn*

So, Heaven decided to open its doors during lunch and therefore I had no choice but to eat whatever they have at our lousy-ass cafeteria.

Gulped two Burger Ramly with massive-loaded Chili Sauce and Mayonaise(I am excused to have it as Sloppy as I want); and here I am thinking about sticking toothpicks to force open my heavy-HEAVY eyelids.

Why is Monday always a Blue to me?!?!?!!

Weekend Recap!

Went to my cousin's baby shower on Saturday and yes, you guessed that right, I had TONS of fun!

There are five of us preggo ladies in my family and Cousin E is the first inline to POP! Soon(I'm the last inline though) it'll be this Momma's turn.

Can I have a baby shower for this baby and the rest of my other babies too?

Teehee... :p

Btw, it's my babies' Daddy's birthday today! Got him a pressie and he loved it!! SCORE!! *pats self*

Do you know how hard it is to get a present for your man (if you've got loads of MoooLah, you can't feel me)?!?!?!!

Here to many many more years Sayang and may all your wishes(that tandemly benefit me too)come true.

ThrowbackThursday

Yes, I owe my blog Maya's 2nd Birthday Party pictures; I'll try to find some time to do that soonish. But for now, since I am too free to do anything I want but discreetly since it is still working hours, I would like to share a picture of my cutie lil pie back in Dec 12 2010 when she was just a heavy loaded cream puff.

Awwwwwwww.............

AnyWho

Have you been sooooooooooooooooooo bored that your head hurts?

I'm having that right now and I hate it! *screaming so loudly only my soul can hear me*

It's like when you've got work to do, you wish you had nothing to do and when you have COMPLETELY NOTHING TO DO, you feel like yanking your god dayummn hair?!?!?!

I've been blog hopping all day and I am currently feeling nauseous from overdossing my eyes with pretty home decorations.

I am not joking with the nausea; I had to go shoved my throat with chocolate to make me feel a little better but it ain't working

I hope you are having a better day than this marshmallow.

Till later!

Ya know what? I actually feel a teensy-weensy better after typing this out. I guess I was suffering from idle mind; I gotta get blood gushing around my brain.

Boredom Worst-EST Enemy

It's July the 2nd 2012.

I've never felt this tired since getting pregnant this time around.

Need to remind my self to slow down; sometimes we overestimate our body's capabilties especially pregnant mommies.

Nevertheless, I had a great fun-filled weekend as always and I hope you did too.

An attempt to take pictures with Maya and Maya said "Tak nak picture" hence her chubby hands covering her face! She is truly my full-time joker!

Hoping for some energy later after work so I can blog about Maya's 2nd Birthday Party back in May.

Golly, now I feel pressured! HAHAHAHAHAhA

I CAN DO THIS!
