here she sings…

September 28th, 2008

Backdated post

I wonder why most kiddos like to watch TV especially TV commercial. My little urchin also has the same interest. She loves to watch those commercials like Hollick, Ribena, Scotts Liver oil, etc as long as with kids. She tends to get so excited when watching these commercials.

That day, when my sis played the children songs for her daughter, she even tried to sing along the song this way…

i guess she is more like yelling instead of singing… LOL

Mumbling…

September 26th, 2008

Thanks god…another hectic week passed.

Yeah…it’s almost a week since my last update. I always want to update my blog by writing at least something or anything but works is really tight me up. I’ve been working so late … sometimes even more than 12 hours just because to fulfill the request of my demanding ‘lady boss’. Sighh…

Plus, the backache is killing me throughout the night. It has become my nightmare when come to bedtime. I need to lie down my body just to ease the pain. Somehow, when I turned my body to either left/right, it hurt. Goshhh…it’s so painful!!!

Now that another 7 weeks to go… I noticed both my legs have minor swollen and I feel like getting hard to walk. :( Can’t imagine how thing goes as on final week.

…backdated about No. Two

September 18th, 2008

Another week passed. It was a hectic week for me. My office work has really tired me a lot. With a tummy getting bigger after days, everything seems harder and tougher to me. I hope the time is coming really, really soon…

Went for my check-up last week. I got surprised to know my weight has increased for 15kg as on week 28. Many people claimed that I seem to look the same as before I got pregnant. Even myself had the same thought as I really not eat well and sleep well the entire pregnancy. In fact, the figures tell the truth. Haha! :)

So, how about my No. Two?? Well, everything is fine with him. He is still that vigorous in doing his kicking, punching, or even ‘Somerset’ inside me. Guess it is another mischievous baby I’m going to have. Like what daddy has been wished, to having a ‘chicken little’ kids. I’m going to see how he is to handle the both ‘chicken little’ that he been wished.

Mommy’s weight: 60kg
Baby’s weight: 1.75kg

*I’m kind of worry about the baby’s weight as it seems pretty small as on week 28. Guess I should eat more in order to have a ‘Michelin’ baby soon.*

Lantern, lantern…

September 14th, 2008

I remember when I was just a kid, I was so envy for those kids who got their very own lantern whilst I had to share with my sister and brother. Perhaps of this reason, I gila-gila (crazily) went to buy a few for little Xandria. :)

Guess how many lanterns she has now? Total of FIVE - 3 from mommy & 2 from her granny. In fact, I thought of given one for her peer cousin but she turned up to be so scared of the light in it. *LOL*

Btw, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you guys there…

…failing on assessment

September 13th, 2008

I wonder if any of you got this email from 3P about blog assessment. I didn’t aware they actually conducting this assessment until I got a rejection email from saying this:

As you know, we work really hard to make sure the blogs in our network are of the highest quality. So, you may have heard that we’re enforcing stricter controls for blogs submitted to the PayPerPost network.

Unfortunately, your blog (’**Heartstring of A new mommy**’) does not meet our standards for overall quality and will no longer be able to be used for accepting marketplace opportunities. Payments currently pending will still be made to your supplied PayPal address.

Sighh…. Obviously, my blog has no quality according to their standard. :(

Chronic Congestive Heart Failure

September 11th, 2008

I just came across to bad news where a colleague’s wife has diagnosed with Chronic congestive heart failure. Initially, I had no idea what caused the illness till I found it at Epocrates, a new disease database online that enable us to know more about new disease that possible happened to us.

Chronic Congestive Heart Failure is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood.

As we need to aware that nowadays, more and more new disease has been found due to advanced of technology as well as pollution.

“This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.”

1st birthday celebration…

September 8th, 2008

We had a simple lunch party to celebrate Xandria’s 1st birthday last Sunday. Well, it was an early birthday celebration for little Xandria as her actual day falls on weekdays (10.09.2008) where I won’t be able to be with her. In fact, I’ve long waited for this moment… :)

Initially, we planned to have a party by inviting friends and relatives. Eventually, it turned out to be a simple celebration. Yeah, it was so hard to plan something for her when she is not at by my side.

Date: 07.09.2008
Time: 2.00pm
Venue: Kay’s Café @ Desa Parkcity

Sometimes, ‘simple’ can be a great things. The lunch party was actually among the family members. I did not cater for any special order on food and cake. Just bought her an ordinary mouse cake and it seems like everyone loves it.

Look at the birthday girl… she was extremely excited especially when we sang her the HAPPY BIRTHDAY song. She clapped her hands, nod her head, and waggle her body as to cater the tune.

She was so uncomfortable when with her grandparent…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my little sweety pie!!!

A short video taken on the day…

Finally…

September 5th, 2008

Finally, I’ve confirmed to get CL after taking consideration on the comments from all friends and bloggers. Yeah, since I’ve decided to ‘close shop’ and it is going to be my very last confinement, I should treat myself good by letting my body have a good rest this time. In additions, the unconfirmed of maid’s arrival date might put me in big trouble if she turn out not to come last minutes.

Thanks to all you for leaving your valuable comments.

Bukit Tinggi @ Genting Highlands

September 2nd, 2008

I’ve been long waited for this public holiday. Not easy to plan for an outing when your little one is not staying with you all the time. I told daddy a month in advance about our planning to bring little Xandria for outing during the holiday. So, we went to Bukit Tinggi @ Genting Highland. It was pretty fun outing for little Xadnria. She was so exciting. Guess it was her first time attempted to a place that was full with people and many other things like flower, animals etc.

Anyone who went Bukit Tinggi before knew nothing special to be visited by paying RM16 per pax for an entry. We visited to Botanical Garden , Japanese Village and of course, the French Village of Colmar Tropicale. Btw, it was drizzling when we reached at Botanical Garden and daddy suggested to go next destination since none of us has the interest in enjoying the flower there.

Before heading back home, we dropped by at Rabbit Farm and paid RM3 each just to show little Xandria how rabbit looks like. I felt some kind of funny by doing so when rabbit mean nothing to her. J

Trying to awake the ‘resting’ rabbit with her leg….

Ok, presenting our very first family photo… (don’t comment about me, i know i look so languishing)
