Tricks

I haven't made up my mind yet. To go or not to go? Dearie seems to have confirmed that it's a YES. I hate these weird thoughts in my mind. To tell you the truth, I had it all in my mind each time we're going for a long ride.Sometimes I don't know whether to believe that it's my inner instinct or just tricks that my mind is playing on me.

quake!

It was 12.49am last night, we both found it while surfing the net. Living in a double-storey terrace, we didn't feel anything. Not even hearing dogs barking and stuffs like that.
I'm sure most of the people living/working in high rise buildings in Klang Valley felt it. It's a real shock to us. Flipping thru the tv channels none of 'em has breaking news on the earthquake outbreak. Slowwww btolll tv Malaysia ni.
We rely solely on the internet.

"A major earthquake -- with a magnitude 8.7 -- struck off the west coast of Indonesia late Monday, killing hundreds on the island of Nias, but fears of another tsunami like those that devastated the region in late December faded early Tuesday."

Phuket Bike Week is just shy from 14 days away. We pray that our friends there are not affected in any away by the earthquake. As for us, we'll wait for any warning signs, to cancel the ride. Am keeping my fingers crossed.

DEvirginized...(haha!)

I’m smiling from ear to ear today…Why? For two obvious reasons.
1: Only dear knows why
2: I got myself a pair of Adidas Superstar 35th Anniversary Cities Series TOKYO!!

Waking up early in the morning is well worth it!! Err actually, I couldn’t sleep last night, so afraid that we’d overslept and missed it. So end I up doze off only for ten minutes, from 8.40 to 8.50 ok!
I can be a supermom if I want to…I just knew it today., haha! Bathe Aresha for 10 minutes in her tub not just wash her off (when I’m so damn lazy), nursing her, sterilizing the bottle and pump, thaw her frozen ebm, Voila! Off we go to queue for the Adidas Anniversary shoes!

Dear had his eye fixated on Berlin in a first place, we’ve been surfing in the net for a week. However, when we get there, found out that Tokyo is the most sought after.
Everybody wants to get their feet on the black Tokyo. We have no interest,or intention whatsoever, BUT.. when I saw it on display, I fell in love with the black beauty instantly! Talk about love at a first sight!

Thirty minutes seems forever for the shoe collectors/freaks waiting in front of the half-opened store. Watching them arranging ‘em neatly on the display makes my heart beat faster. Dah laa we were like the 12th on the line, luckily they have the policy one pair per person. .and first come first served. We could only watch one by one Tokyo, New York City and Berlin being taken away from our eyes. They have only 4 pairs per model. Nasiblaa.. if you’re size 10 or 9 you can only settle for what’s left. The guy in front of us is so damn lucky, he bought the last New York in size 8.

When it comes to our turn, London and Boston has only size 7 and 8 left. Pity dear, he lost the chance to own a pair of Cities. So he settled for PERFED. Whaddaya know, it’s a limited edition!! PERFED is made exclusively for Footlocker. How the hell did these guys managed to get it? We found out about it only after carefully looking at all the Anniversary Series on the back of the shoe box.

I usually wear size 6 but, I couldn’t help myself from trying the size 7 TOKYO. It’s ¾ inch bigger but when you tie the laces tightly, it actually fits quite well. I have the privilege to choose any model I want (No one bought size 7’s yet!) but I want Tokyo!!

Today in history I’m officially not an ADIDAS virgin no more. Got a pair of Superstar, TOKYO…I wish I had the Red Hot Chilli Peppers Limited Edition, but this is waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than nothing, kan dear kan?

Thank you dear for being so kind, and pimped my ADIDAS. ;)

Return to innocence

Aresha now knows how to stretch out her arms when she wants to be lifted. That's the first time! Love seeing the sparkle in her eyes. It reminds me of how pure and innocence she is. Everything is fascinating in her eyes. Oh yeah, the past three days she's been making this monster like sound. Like Smeagol/Gollum in LOTR. Haha! So cute!
Will definitely record it on our video cam soon!All the tapes are full! Even our wedding tapes were not trasferred yet! Dear laa.. I thought I'm the REAL procrastinator, my dearie lagiilaaa.
Our little monster just slept in my arms.I wouldn't trade it with anything..the feeling is...so wonderful.

Feverish

Aresha couldn't sleep soundly last night.I thought it's just normal or maybe she overlslept during the day but she actually down with fever this morning. Her head is slightly warm but her body is ok. I slept with her during the day. Cuddling her, wishing it will make her better.She had to reposition, maybe feeling so uneasy or the warmth of her body make her uncomfortable. Despite the fever,she's actually not fussy,it's as if everything's just fine.

My roomie@UPM Rozel called me this evening with great news. She handpicked me to indulge in a workout package namely Fit for 2(For mommy and baby, yippee yeay!)Finally, I'm on my way to shed few pounds, doing it with Aresha and it's FOC!
Thanks babe I owe you one! Mommy and baby are on our way looking fabulous!Hehe.

Ask dear to buy Kool Fever for Aresha. This thing could last for 6 hours!A bit pricey tho' RM 15 for 6pcs but.. it really works! Her body temperature lowered after 4 hours and she seems to resume her turn-over-play routine.

We'll see tomorrow, if she's back to the pink of health, we'll ride to S'pore. If not, I wouldn't mind staying home with my baby.


*updated: 4.35am and I'm still up accompanying my dearie doing his mock-ups for MAS. We decided not to go tho' Aresha's status is pretty good. Dearie haven't got his rest /sleep, yet. I, myself wouldn't allow him to ride when he didn't get enough rest.
Dear would take me out for dinner tomorrow. I guess I can forget my diet for a while since I've already have an exercise regime waiting for me. Ha! ;)

Net shopping

Took Aresha to JJ. She's such a sweetie.So quiet, in her own world with Lamaze's knot block in her hands. She slept for a while waking up, gazing at bright colured objects. No fuss just enjoying her stroll.Mak bought her Peter Rabbit's cutleries. So cuuutee and it's on 70% discount too! Todays she's wearing a cream coloured long sleeved onesie and pink striped pants. Daddy said it makes you look thinner la baby.

I'm getting an Avent food warmer for $45, from S'pore. Went into a forum and it was on sale. It costs RM277 here. Crazy! So here I am finding bargains for baby stuffs now. Still boiling my pump and bottles..looking for cheaper sterilizer. You just gotta be smart. If you can find something cheaper on the net, buy it! Since we have so many friends in S'pore, and we're coming down to the Lion city this saturday, this is a great opportunity.

Another baby!

Ok.This is freaking me out. My best friend (she's my deskmate in high school) told me last week that she's already pregnant 2 months! Her baby girl is only 8 months, and she's gonna have a brother/sister soon! Another friend of mine (you're reading this, right?) just found out that she's not pregnant again..through the pregnancy test kit I suppose. Negative. Must be a sigh of relief eh? I thought I was just joking on your blog there, really! never thought that it was for real.
Mind you I didn't use/take any contraception at all. I'm too freak out to use IUCD (despite the testimonials from my mom and aunt,'You won't feel that it''s there') and I don't trust pills as it might interfere with my breastfeeding. So here we are, being as careful as we could.
I wouldn't mind carrying another baby in my womb but the fear of labour? I have to overcome that before having an other one. Albeit my labor is a very short one,I'm not ready to face it again. ;)
I wanna give Aresha everything I could before sharing my love for another child. I know how it feels being the eldest.
Bottomline, just be careful.Very careful. *note to myself*

Kisses

Aresha is still up, starting to cry because both of us are so glued to the computer.
She kissed her daddy for the first time! Isn't she supposed to kiss me first? So envy of you dear! Seems like at 4 months of age she's already attached to her daddy.
Now she turn over..asking for attention. Crawling almost! Lifting up her butt to move forward. In few months I have to be alert all the time. When she starts crawling, the adventure begins.

Daddy's girl

For the first time Aresha was introduced to pee-ka-boo. She like it so much that she giggled and laughed when we were playing the simple, yet fun game. She need so much attention today, slept only for few minutes. When she wakes up or while I'm nursing her she'll immediately put her fingers inside her mouth trying to sooth her gum. She's gonna have her first tooth very soon!Maybe that why she felt uneasy, it hurts so much for a baby like her. At the same time, wanting daddy to hug her and put her to sleep. MIss her daddy so much I guess.
Did I mention that Aresha is a carbon copy or template of her daddy?I love seeing the both of them bonding together. She has the same features of her daddy and smiles like her daddy too!All of dearie's genes runs in her tiny little body.Even tho' it's too early to tell, I could tell that she has daddy's feet and hairline.
Dearie felt asleep beside her girl..they look so cute together.

p/s: Now I have wi-fi @home.Blogging via Powerbook.How convenient!

Marital bliss

I'm in marital bliss. I have dearie who's not just my life partner but also the bestest friend I've ever had. He's the reason for me to live. He’s my LIFE!
The pinnacle of my life is being his wife and mommy to Aresha. I wouldn’t trade for anything else.
Dear, thanks for all you’ve done for me. I love you more each day :)

p/s: I’m leaving to mom’s place today, in fact in few minutes. Won’t be blogging for days I think..

Have a great weekend peeps!

If I could..

Watched Oprah just now(what stay-home mothers should watch!) and fell in love with this song by Celine Dion(Mind you,I'm NOT a fan)
It really touched me.This could be what every mother feels..


If I could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes, I would

If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes, I would

If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
So I could let you go

If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would
If I could

If I live
In a time and place where you don't want to be
You don't have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday
Won't have to be your way

If I knew
I'd have tried to change the world I brought to you to
And there isn't very much that I can do
But I would
If I could...
Oh baby... mummy wants to protect you
And help my baby through the hungry years
It's part of me
And if you ever... ever need
Sad shoulder to cry on
I'm just someone to talk to
I'll be there... I'll be there
I didn't change your world
But I would
If I Could!

This is a quick post..must get back to Aresha.I just want to wrap my arms around
her tightly..if I could, forever!

Smiling angel

The past few days has been great. Being with my two precious is such a bliss. All this while..before Aresha came into our life, staying home on weekends were BORING. Now, waking up looking at her smiling face make our day complete. Yesterday, I'm almost teary-eyed when Aresha woke up, saw her mommmy's face and she smiled so sweetly.I'm not just her milk provider(haha), she recognizes so well that I'm her beloved mommy.. She did the same to her daddy too. It's hard for dear to leave her to work when at such early in the morning..she kick her legs, punch her fist with a big grin on her lips ...asking daddy to play with her..

Finally, managed chat with Eva on YM.I've been searching for her since I got the tickets. We have to plan the journey wisely. Should decide whether to fly, ride or drive. 'The' must go destinations are:
Amsterdam
Paris
Berlin
Venice
Rome
Monaco
Hmm any other places that I've missed?

Dearie came home at 2am today, only to find that I'm nursing Aresha to sleep. He had to finish his Maxis video job. His first challenge being an AD. He looks so exhausted..I should stop writing... giving him a body massage would be better ;)

Chillin'

A night well spent. Had dinner at our favorite TGIF as usual I just love their Strawberry Surprise and the food, marvellous!
Then we headed to Bangsar's H-D only to be told by Fendi that the boys were @Pharmacy, chillin'.This is something new, we usually hang out @H-D or Pelita. Since we're not the clubbin' type we could only be there for 10 minutes, max!

Tonight a history has been made, for the first time Independent MG, Violent Storm, Bandidos MC (ex-Ghostrider) and Head Hunter hang out together... even sat on the same table. If you know our history you'll understand what I mean. As Splatters even commented that I look 'berisi'. Haha! That means I have to shed few more pounds!Damn!

I had so much fun tonight..tho' I'm the only girl in the group. They never make me feel alienated. It's great to see 3 motorcycle clubs riding home together.If only it could stay this way forever....
