8 months and counting...

Noah's development milestone to-date:

• he loves to laugh like 'Haji Bakhil'
• he can crawl non-stop
• he can now stand on his own with ease 
• he is starting to walk while holding on to the sofa/cot
• he babbles non-stop
•  he puts everything into his mouth
• and he now have separation anxiety when even mummy leaves his sight

He is a lot of work, but I can't imagine what my life would be without him.

Of being a year older

The day has come again...  A day that marks an additional number to my age.

*sigh*  if only the number gets smaller every year ;)

Reflecting on the past year of my life, I have learn that:-

• life is too precious to be wasted by surrounding yourself with negativity
• there is more animosity in my current organisation than all my previous organisations combined
• babies are miracles from Allah
• good friends are hard to find
• money is NOT the key to happiness

I seriously can't wait to find out what I have in store for me in the up-coming year. All I wish for is that the decision that I have made (career wise) will be the right one and the best one for me. Insyaallah...

Salam Ramadhan

It is already the 2nd day of fasting.  Time flies... The next thing you know, it will be Aidilfitri once again.

This year, I am going to try to reduce the trips to the bazaar ramadhan.  I bet the prices of food this year are going to be ridiculously high.  Since Mr Judge and I have launched our Project Jimat, I will try my best to prepare home cooked meal every single day, as what we have been practicing for the past few months.

Ramadhan this year is a bit different from the previous years because 1) we have a little boy that needs lots of attention from us, 2) Mr Judge's brother is now staying with us and 3) we have a maid.  Hence, now we have extra 3 people to think of.  We can no longer relax and decide on what to eat  one hour before iftar.  We can no longer take our time to enjoy the food during iftar. 

But I am not complaining.  At least now, I can say that the family is complete (almost!).

Alhamdulillah.

Selamat berpuasa to all!

I'm back!!!

7 months of silence...  WOW!

Now I'm back!
Hope to kick-start the blog again.

I miss writing so much. However, my current position restricts me from the freedom of pouring my soul out here.

Despite all the restrictions, I am hoping to break the barrier and be free again. To hell with what people think. It's my space and I'll write if I want to.

So... HELLO WORLD!

Sometimes I wonder if I have any friends left that I can share my joy & sadness with... They say that people come and go but best friends will always be there with you and for you... I really doubt that its true...

*sniffs*




binx: i now feel like a cow...

tick... tock... tick... tock...

I have been doing nothing but wait for the past 2 weeks...

I've stopped going to work coz I feel restless at work. Plus people keep telling me that I can't do this and that... that just drives me crazy.

Hence, I have been mopping around, waiting for the baby to come out.

*****

My father in-law has been predicting the baby's birthday...

First it was 8th Dec... Just felt minor contractions for an hour... that's it!

Then it was 14th Dec... Still no sign of the baby...

Then it was 19th Dec... There was a false alarm when the contractions was 20 mins apart and lasted for over an hour. However, the mere mention of the word hospital, the contractions died off... Just like that...

Today is the 21st of Dec. It is the baby's EDD. I really really hope that he'll come out today. I don't want to sound like a bad mother or anything, but I just can't stand being pregnant any longer. The weight and wait is just so unbearable!


Baby.... If you can hear me, please come out today!

Confession of a heavy & fat momma

I have reached another pregnancy milestone this week... 36 weeks and counting!

9 months...

The baby currently weights 2.7 kg and I have gained 16 kgs since I got pregnant.

Sleeping comfortably is really a challenge now. It hurts every time I change positions to get comfortable. Don't get me started on the pain of getting out of bed. Nowadays, it takes me almost 15 minutes to actually get myself up and out of bed!

I now walk like I'm wearing a huge sack of potato over me. Even my lil' sis calls me 'cik peng' (short for 'cik penguin') because of the way I walk.

My belly now matches the size of Mr Judge's belly. Only mine is solid and his is all wiggly and soft.... hehehe... We can now do the belly-5 (bumping the bellys together like high-5'ing)!

For those who have seen my 'ranting-like' fingers before, you'll be surprise to see that they are now starting to fatten up. I can no longer fit into all the rings, except for the wedding ring, which was bigger than the rest to begin with. Even my wrist watch now is starting to feel tight and threatening to eat up on my flesh soon.

I really can't wait for the baby to come out, so that things can go back to normal. However, I really hope that it would not be so soon because the new place is still not ready. We need at least another 2 weeks before we can move in.

Should there be no update til after the delivery, do pray for me to have a safe and comfortable birth ya. Insyaallah....
