Maya Is Almost 27 Months

It's amazing how this lil chiquita is picking up things like a racing car! Everyday she amuses me with her new vocabs and her new found interests. For example:-

Last night we were reading a book before bedtime about a girl named Polly and her potty training adventure. In the book it has a page of different kinds of panties/underwears that Polly would have to choose. So I asked Maya which is her own favorite and she will always points to the pink with a red heart panty. I then asked her, why do you like this one and she pointed to the heart and said "heart". She then took her necklace out of her shirt and pointed to her heart charms and said "SAME"!

Witnessing special moments like this really make my day.

Maya is indeed my girlie girl!

I Think I'm Changing My Mind - Baju Raya 2012 Edition

Remember I said I want to get Minty Green baju raya this year? I think, I might not get that.

*cries like a baby*

I am still head-over-heels with Mint Green but do you know how hard it is to get Baju Raya (that comes in my size) in that color? Also, my luck sucks when it comes to me getting something that I truly want.

I just got back from Ampang Park and I swear there was no Mint Green Kaftan within my vicinity! I'm sure there's one or two tuck in between those overcrowded racks but nothing in Mint Green within my reach?!? Is this for real?!

I got confused multiple times with turquoise too! And NO, I am not color blind; I pass my color blind test with flying colors ALWAYS *wink*

However, going through this heartbreaking-lunch-break ordeal, I did find something that fancy my four-eyes.

Dusty-Rosey-Mauve-y!!!

Yeah yeah, there's nothing new with this shade but I came across an outfit that can definitely fit me and it has A-Okay price tag. I even found a matching color baju kurung for Lil Miss Maya Ballerina!

*dropping my jaws in 5,4,3,2,1*

Hmmmmmmmmm.......

July Makeup Purchase(s)

So the first thing I bought with July's pay was Chanel Rouge Allure in #85 Coquette and I absolutely love it! I wanted a statement-bold color which is daytime friendly and this is the exact color I was sorta picturing in my head. It's a coral-ish-pink-ish color and for some reason, the pictures are not justifying the color much. Grrrr...

This color really finishes a simple makeup look. As you can see in this picture above, all I have on are:-

(1) Eyeliner on my upper and lower lashline

(2) About two coats of mascara

(3) Filled in my eyebrows

(4) Applied concealer under my eyes

and that's pretty much it!

(I would put foundation and blusher on if I was going out but I'm about to hit the sack after I post this up.. Yes, I put some makeup on just for this post ;p)

Also, I've been deprived of black liquid eyeliner. The only two things that I like from drugstore's makeup section are mascara and eyeliner - that's it coz you can't go wrong with them as in you don't need to test them. Besides, you go through them so quickly ESPECIALLY mascara that buying an expensive one, to me, will hurt my pocket *gulp*. Also, high-end or low-end mascaras are as good; I've gone through the cheap-Os and expensive-Os and I always find my favorites in the Cheap-O Valley. THANK GOD! *cue winking to CoverGirl and Maybelline*

By the way, this is my first time buying IN-2-IT liquid eyeliner and I think it's a good buy. I really like the applicator/tip but we'll see how long this almost badass last.

P/S: I wasn't joking about the first thing I bought with July's pay (a lipstick!); Yep, it's therapeutic after all that hard work. Teehee..

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
