Confession of the Envious Binx

I know it's too early to feel this way... but I can't help it...


Case 1

A colleague of mine, who got married less than a month before me is now expecting. She is now almost 6 months pregnant.

She came up to my floor today and I just can't help but to feel a little bit envious of her cute bump.


Case 2

Mr Judge's cousins (brother and sister) got married at the end of last year. We were busy answering people's question about when we will be expecting during their wedding ceremony.

We met up with the couples 2 weeks ago and surprise surprise.. both couples are now 8 weeks pregnant. I think Mr Judge saw the dissapointed look on my face.


Case 3

An online friend shared that he was trying for a 4th child a few months after I got married. He kept on wishing me good luck on my pursuit to conceive.

He succeeded and are now patiently awaiting for the birth of the new addition to his family.



Like I said... it is too early to feel this way... but I just can't help it... I want one too!

Crash... Boom... Bang...

We had a pretty hectic and stressful weekend.

It all started with Mr. Judge's cousin's akad nikah on Friday afternoon. It was a simple yet beautiful ceremony, despite all the commotion that surrounded it.

Saturday, we were on duty for the wedding reception. We were all dressed up rather nice, maybe too nice till people mistook us for the wedding couple.. tsk tsk tsk...

We were suppose to attend another event after the wedding reception, a 3-year old + 1-year old birthday party. Since we were over-dressed for kiddie party, we decided to go back to the in-laws to change first.

Less than 5 minutes on the road again...

"CRASH....!"

My darling hubby had crashed MY CAR into the back of a lorry that was stopping for the red light!

The damage was really bad. The right light was smashed and the front hood almost folded into half. Luckily there was no damage done to the engine.

I can't help but to feel furious with Mr Judge. I know he was not speeding, and he was driving fine until the crash. However, he was the one behind the wheels and he was the one that crashed the car. AGAIN!

I have been driving the car for the past 4 years and never once did I crash the car (touchwood!). Geram nyaaaaaaa.

I know I made him feel bad (he should be)... I know he felt bad for the accident... But I just can't help it.

Now my car is at the workshop, going for a major re-work and a major make-over. The repair will take 2 weeks!!!

The thought of being car-less for the next 2 weeks was so unbearable. My FIL was kind enough to loan me his BMW (even though I told him that it was unnecessary). However, he insisted that I take the car but to never let Mr Judge to go behind the wheels... (hahaha... padan muka dia..)




Let's just hope the next two weeks will be a smooth sailing one....

Tragic Gastric Incident

I had another tragic gastric incident last wednesday...

Everything was going as normal during the day. However, I felt a slight sign of a gastric attack to come after lunch and has quickly gulped down the prescribed meds. I really don't want to risk having another attack that will spoil my 1st aerobic class that evening.

Yes... I've enrolled myself into a twice-weekly aerobic class with a mission to stay fit. The class was initiated by the ladies in my department that shared the same goal in mind. Hence, we have teamed up and formed a class and called a trainer to teach us aerobic. Excited youuuu....

Hence, despite the negative comment from the lady boss about the negative side-effect of aerobic that will spoil my attempt to conceive, I went ahead and joined the class that evening.

1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8...!

8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...!

We stepped... we walked... we jumped... we sweat out... and most importantly we had fun!

However, on my way back, I felt a sudden sharp pain in my tummy and had a sudden urge to vomit. I had to stop the car by the side of the road (before approaching the Jalan Duta Tol) and started vomiting non-stop into the zip-lock bag from the sandwiches I've packed earlier that morning.

At that point of time, despite the cold weather (the rain was pouring hard) and the cool air-conditioning of the car, my body was perspiring heavily and I felt like I was about to faint.

That was when I decided to call Mr Judge, who was on his way back from Cyberjaya at that point of time. I thought I might else well let him know where I was before anything else happens to me (yeah... drama queen habis ok).

Since he was still in Cyberjaya, he decided to call for reinforcement. He called my two sisters for help, since both of them were at home.

They managed to get to me after a few u-turns... They came armed with the ever-reliable "Minyak Mestika" and a hot beaded bear (my sister's substitute for the hot water bottle). At that point of time, I was so relieved that they have found me and can drive me to the nearest hospital.

That was the worst gastric incident I've ever experienced.

Thank god my darling husband and my 2 sisters were there to my rescue!




binx: time to rest!
