Some say Green is the color for jealousy.. Some say jealousy means that person love and care about you.. whatever people think or however it is interpreted, we cannot deny it that sometimes this behavior annoys you so much you would hate that person unintentionally.

Have you ever experienced something like this:

You did your work according to your job description and people would talk behind you gossiping that you are so workaholic and that you're only kissing the boss's ass.
You never talk bad things about anyone at work, yet some of them talk bad things of you behind your back.
You did one mistake and they say you are a terrible worker, yet they did the same mistake over and over again and nobody would mind.
You never even bother what they were doing or why they were doing that, yet they are so rajin to jaga your tepi kain..

People that are jealous of you and gossiping behind your back, are actually trying to cover their own mistakes so that other people won't notice it and focus only on yours.. Makes me just want to arrrggghhhh shout out loud, tell them face-to-face to back off and mind their own business.. But, I can't.. It would only make things worst.. hu hu hu.. I know I can only do one thing and I am praying hard that it works..Please Lord, may it be an easy task for me..

Baby Wear for your little one..

Don't you just love dressing your little one with beautiful and cute clothes? Whenever I visits shopping malls, I just can't resist myself to enter baby's boutique shop. All those cute, colorful and adorable clothes. I found myself not just browsing baby's clothes in malls, but also thru the internet. I believe all mothers are like that, and this is why I decided to start my own online business which I can manage in my own time and on my own comfort place (my home) *wink. I love sharing my passion and feeling of excitement dressing up and watching my little girl in a beautiful clothes.

I am selling branded baby clothes and targeting mothers who love dressing up their little one but are too busy to visit the malls. Mothers can now browse thru my blog http://kkbabywear.blogspot.com, choose the designs preferred and then purchase the item by the provided steps. I just hope that I can expand my business to other brand and ladies clothing.

Delivery Story

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:24:00 +0000

It was my due date on the 14 of Aug, and as usual, because I haven't delivered yet, I went to the clinic for my weekly review with Dr. R. During the scan, we were so shocked to found out that I have no water left.. I didn't remember if my water broke the past week.. So, he refered me to Likas Hospital for 'No Liquor' that very evening. So, we went back home, grab my bag and went straight to likas.. On the way, I keep praying to God to protect my baby and hopefully everything will be fine..

At Likas, after registering, they put me into bed and did a CTG scan to hear my baby's heartbeat.. I was there for about 1 hour before the Dr. did an ultrasound confirming Dr. R's report.. Then, she checked for my opening (which was so painful ;P, and they did it few times before the delivery haha). 1 cm dilated.. She gave me two choice, either c-section or normal birth.. She told me that my baby is around 3.6kg to 4.0kg and there would be complication if I choose normal birth. I was so confused during that time.. All this while, I was planning on normal birth.. So, I told her I need to discuss with my hubby..

We went back to the registration room.. Me and hubby have had the chance to talk to the Dr. If I have a contraction before 10 am next morning, than I can choose to do normal birth. If not, I have to do c-section because of the 'No liquor' problem.. I had problem sleeping the whole night thinking about my baby. They did a CTG scan at 10pm and baby's heartbeat is still strong.. *smile

I didn't feel any contraction until around 10.30am the next morning. It was about 3-5 min from each contraction. When checked, I was already 4cm dilated. Dr asked me again if I want to do c-section or normal birth.. I choose normal. But, because I was scheduled to go to the operation room, they have no empty room at the delivery room. I was having a strong contraction and I feel pain all the time.. Even hubby cannot do anything and I felt sorry for him haha..

At around 2pm I was transferred to the delivery room.. And because I was just 4cm dilated, we waited some more.. I was fully dilated at 3.30pm and in labor for half and hour.. Exactly at 3.58pm, our little angel was born.. But, I only got to see her for a couple seconds before they took her away for further examination coz she already 'poop' inside.. Thank God, she's fine and healthy..

House Renovation Progress

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:08:00 +0000

Ceiling fan is up.. yay.. I missed school today due to heavy rain.. The road to the school is under maintenance (widening of the road).. It is covered in red soil, making it very difficult for our 4WD to get thru it during rainy season.. I was scared to death when the car slides to the side instead of going straight forward.. So, I decided to unpurposely skip school with much guilt ;).. I, however informed my PK1 about my problem and the reason why I am not in school today.. Hopefully the rest of the week's weather is fine so that my hubby can send me to school tomorrow and pick me up on Friday.. And hopefully I will not be in labour during those days..*cross my fingers*

WARNING, MEN AT WORK!!

Hubby and BIL installing the ceiling fan..

FIL doing the wiring to add sockets to the wall..

Tomorrow, cornish will be up and electical wiring work continues. Grills, kitchen cabinet and curtain will be done next week.. Cleaning of the house and arranging of funiture will be done after that.. Two weeks and three days to go before my EDD.. Hopefully apartment will be ready before that.. *cross fingers again* Already submitted my leave application.. Will spend my cuti-cuti, which is the last week of my EDD, resting and preparing for labour hahaha ;)..

Home Sweet Home

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 10:21:00 +0000

Wondering when can I move to my new apartment.. I'm getting very impatient and eager to decorate the apartment.. A place where I can actually call my own, my *home sweet home*.. See, we've already bought all the necessary things for our new apartment.. It's only a matter of moving it from my mentua's house to our apartment.. Just waiting for the grills coz without the grills it could be a little scary leaving all the things there without any security..

**Tadaa.. This is our apartment.. Ground Floor**

**The living room.. with a small balcony.. To jemur my kain**

**Our small dining room.. Looks like the dining table are too big for the dining room ;)**

**Our room.. plus baby's room too, for the meantime**

**Supposedly baby's room, but after much consideration and discussion with hubby, baby will stay with us for a while and this room is going to be the guest room.. Pity me, kepunan mau decorate baby's room**

**Stor room and working place for me and hubby.. Will put all my school's revision book at this room, a desktop computer, and hubby's tools.. Will also be a place for me to prepare my ABM and check my pupils' work..**

Not included in these photos are my kitchen and yard (for the washing machine).. Will update you all every little bit of details and progress.. Grills should be in some time next week, then the kitchen cabinet and curtain.. After that, will do house cleaning before furniture are in..

My baby is kicking hard right now.. I think she/he can feel the excitement I'm feeling right now as I was writing this blog.. ;) Still hoping the apartment to be ready before the arrival of our new bundle of joy *yeah*

1. Helps infant physical growth.
2. Helps strengthen baby's body.
3. Helps build self-confidence.

2. After bath.
3. Room temperature is warm.
4. Baby are undressed completely.

There are six body parts included in massaging your baby. In sequence:
1. Head and face massage
2. Chest massage
3. Hand massage
4. Feet massage
5. Stomach massage
6. Back massage

(will upload videos of the workshop sometimes tomorrow..

House renovation and pregnancy updates...

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 13:11:00 +0000

So, completed some tasks this morning.. Let's check the lists:

1) Grills, built-in kitchen cabinet - bring hubby's friend to the apartment and asks for quotation.. Done **pending quotation.
2) SESB - apply meter for the apartment.. Done **2 to 7 days installation.
3) Curtain - went to Glory Decor to choose curtains for all bedrooms and living room.. Done **waiting for the grills and cabinet before installing the curtains.
4) Re-painting baby's room - choose the right color and re-paint the room.. KIV.
5) Choose and buy other furniture - KIV **wait until everything is settled specially the grills.. nanti senang pula orang datang angkat ;)
6) Move in our current things - KIV

That's about it. Eventhough we were busy running here and there, we managed to visit the clinic for my regular review. Today marks the last day of my once-in-two-weeks review.. From now on, we'll be visiting the clinic every week.. Here are the updates. I gained 2.5kg these past two weeks and of course Dr. gave me some advise on that haha (my weight should only gain about 0.5kg per week or maintain the current weight).. Baby is in good condition, actively moving and weighing at about 2.5kg (plus minus 300g)..

Been having a weired but mild pain under my belly lately everytime baby is actively moving and been experiencing sharp pain in my pelvic area.. People are saying that it looks like my baby is dropping. My feet are starting to sweel and its getting bigger by day.. So, I wonder if that is a sign of labor?? How to know if I am having a contraction or not??

Hmm, I still have 4 weeks before my due and a little bit worry if baby is coming soon since our apartment is not ready *duh* I guess that's called the "nesting instinct".. But, as precaution, I started packing baby's things already and of course my things too.. ;)

My Update

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 08:39:00 +0000

Sorry for not updating my blog.. Hmm it's been two weeks since my last blog I guess.. Well, I've been busy with everything..

At last, We received our apartment key from the developer early this week (Monday).. We should have receive it the last three weeks, but we've been having some problems with our loan.. We've been told by the developer that our loan was not yet settled by the bank.. So, when my hubby called the bank to inquire about the problems, they told us that their lawyer haven't completed few important document.. We were very pissed off because we signed the agreement with the bank about a year ago.. So, my hubby directly contacted the bank manager to settle the problem.. Pheww and thank God, we were able to get the keys before my due... Hahaha..

So, now we were busy calling and going here and there to look for people to renovate the apartment.. We need to fixed in grills because our house is at the ground floor, install a built in cabinet, curtain and all the basic things.. You know what I mean.. And we need to do it fast, hopefully before the baby comes ;)

After the apartment is ready, then I can concentrate on my baby's room.. Wish me luck (to not overdo it.. haha).

Ok, that's about it... Just want to update you all and not wanting my blog to be in silence for such a long time.. Chow and have a blessed weekend..

LOL @ New Movie

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:42:00 +0000

New info for the movie lovers out there.. Went to the cinema (again) last night to watch the latest movie with my hubby.. If you are the type who like to laugh, or just want a bad day turn great.. I suggest watching the Ice Age 3:Dawn of The Dinasour, which is showing at all cinemas right now..

The movie was so funny, me, hubby and all who are at the cinema just can't stop laughing.. We all laugh all the way from the beginning of the movie till the end.. Most of the characters was the same as in Ice Age 2.. Only 3 new characters was introduced in this new movie.. The characters are Manny the mammoth, Ellie, Diego the saber-tooth tiger, Sid the sloth, Eddie, Crash, Buck the one-eyed weasel (new), Peaches (new) and not forgetting Scrat as well as his new girlfriend, Scratte (new).

The storyline was simple, mostly about family and friendship. Manny and Ellie is expecting a new bundle of joy, a mini-mammoth (Peaches). The overexcited father to be was focusing too much on the new family member that he forgot to appreciate his two other buddies, Diego and Sid. When Diego wanted to leave the herd, Manny was sad but too ego to admit it. Sid on the other hand was, I guess, jealous with Manny. He too wanted to feel the joy of being a parent when his wish was finally answered. He fell into the cold underground ice and found three dinosaur eggs which he then assumed as his babies.. Hehehe to make the story short, that is when their adventure into the mysterious underground world started. I am not going to tell you the whole story, of course.. Nanti tidak best pulak.. For more reviews you can visit www.cinemaonline.com.my and feel free to watch the movie trailers below..

How Scrat meet his new girl Scratte

"Ice Age 3" has a couple of laugh-out-loud scenes and maintains its children-friendly jokes and sarcastic humour. Overall, a good movie for the whole family.

Pregnancy Mood

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 09:23:00 +0000

Don't you think that advertisement has a great impact on us..? Well, the new movie in cinemas, Transformer 2: Revenge of the Fallen, was hugely advertised till me and hubby decided that we must watch it in cinemas yesterday (despite his busy schedule at kedai hehe).. Bringing along our brothers and sister, we managed to buy a midnight ticket for the movie.. It was 12:15 in the morning when we left the shop to GSC, 1 Borneo.. The movie was scheduled to start at 12:45 am.. Since the shop is in kingfisher, we thought leaving 30 minutes before was ok.. When we reached the cinema, I cannot believe my eyes when I saw so many people waiting at the entrance to watch that movie..

Ok.. That was the bunga-bunga of my story... So, I went to the counter to buy some popcorn and drinks for our brothers and sister.. I counted only 2 people in front of me as I was the last person in line.. My turn's up. I went to the counter, and place my order.. As I was saying my order, the counterlady and the soft-drink boy was ignoring me as they was calling the customer before me to return the balance money.. Not even a single word of sorry come out of their mouth.. Fine, that I can accept.. Then I re-place my order. Here are the conversation:

Me : 1 mineral combo, two small combo and 1 large combo..

Counterlady: Apa minuman? (What drink?)

Me : Oh, yang small combo, Strawberry no ice ermm tunggu ahh.. Roddy pigi tanya Haily apa minuman dia mau.. O, ko mau minum apa? (Oh, for the small combo, Strawberry no ice and wait ahh.. Roddy go and ask Haily what drink he want.. O, what do you want to drink?)

Soft-drink boy: Satu strawberry, satu lagi? (One strawberry, the other one *in rushing voice*)

Me : Tunggu sekejap.. (Wait a minute)

Roddy : Milo

Me : Tanya bear juga apa dia mau. (Asked bear what he want *Bear is my other brother's nick name)

Counterlady: Pada masa yang sama: Tiada Milo. (At the same time: No Milo)

Soft-drink boy: Pada masa yang sama juga: Minuman untuk combo softdrink saja, tiada milo. (Also at the same time: Only softdrinks for combo, no milo)

I was like confused already and a little bit hot because they are talking at the same time as I was talking to my brother.. The soft-drink boy keep making noise with the paper glass by tapping it on the table.. I looked behind me and saw no one else was in line.. Besides, there are two other counter and one of it has no customer..

Roddy : Haily cakap apa-apa saja. (Haily said anything can do)

Me : Satu strawberry dan satu lagi cola. (One strawberry and the other one Cola).

Rod, teda milo. (Rod, no milo).

Softdrink boy: *Tapping the table with the paper glass*

Roddy : Ice-lemon tea lah..

Me : Bear?

Roddy : Erm, Bear punya bagi sprite ja la.. (Erm, give sprite for Bear)

Me : Ice-lemon tea and sprite

Counterlady: Large ice-lemon tea and sprite.

Softdrink boy: *Tap, tap* ok.

Counterlady: RM** (I forgot the price.. Marah sudah)

Counterlady: Macam mana ni kasi lain-lain ka satu kali. (How? put in different plastic or one plastic only?

Softdrink boy: Satu kali ja la.. (One plastic only la *for the small combo*)

I look at them putting all my orders in the plastic bag.. Sempat pulak I glance at the boy's name tag.. His name is D****r.. Hmm, I will remember the face and the name.. jaga la dia hehe..

They didn't even bother to say Thank you. So, I took all the plastics and said loudly to my brother, "Apalah mau rushing-rushing, bukan ada orang pun di belakang", and left the counter. To add to my sakit hati, I almost terlicin on the slippery tiles at the end of the counter coz ada air tumpah.. Cilakak.. When I told my hubby, he wanted to go to the counter and confront the two people.. But, I said I didn't want to make a scene.. So, he only stares at them from far.. The cinema hall was not opened until about 10 minutes after I left the counter.. So, imagine my hubby starring at the boy and the counterlady for 10 minutes haha.. But, that incident spoils my mood to watch the movie already.. *Sad*

I was usually a patient and tolerant person and didn't care much about impolite people like them.. Maybe I just had this pregnancy mood swing.. It was late at night, I was a little bit sleepy and tired, and I really, really want to enjoy the movie.. No wonder I get angry easyly at those two impolite people.. haha

Tribute to the Late King of POP, Mr. Michael Jackson

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:19:00 +0000

I just heard on the news at home that MJ has passed away early this morning at 5:21am (Malaysian time) due to Cardiac Arrest. Although I am not a big fan of MJ, but I admit that I like most of his songs especially his 80's and 90's songs. My favorite is "I'll Be There" sang by MJ when he was still with the Jackson Five. Condolence to MJ's immediate family, ex-wifes, childrens and fans.. Enjoy the lyrics of I'll Be There song..

You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there

I'll reach out my hand to you,
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there

Chorus:
And oh - I'll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on
Yes I will, yes I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that's all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be there to protect you
With an unselfish love I respect you
Just call my name and I'll be there

(Chorus)

If you should ever find someone new
I know he'd better be good to you
'Cos if he doesn't, I'll be there

Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there

(Just look over your shoulders, honey - ooh)

I'll be there, I'll be there, whenever you need me, I'll be there

Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there...

P/s: Hubby said he has same birthday date as MJ.. hehe hint hint mau minta beli hadiah ka tu..??

Oh! Happy Day..

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:02:00 +0000

Isn't today a happy and wonderful day..? For the new parents, the newly weds and all the fathers, it is a happy day.. Today me and hubby traveled around 131km just to attend three different occasion. We leave home at 10.30am to Papar town for my best friend's (Betsy) baby's full moon.. The celebration was supposedly planned to begin at 12 noon, but since we have to attend another occasion at 12.30 noon, we thought we'd give Betsy an early visit. Betsy's adorable, cute and beautiful baby girl, Bailey Kassandra, was born a month ago at Likas Hospital. She has both her parents look. Remember when we used to the uhhh and ahhh whenever we see cute babies..?? Well, here are some photos of baby Bailey that will surely uhh and ahh you.. She is such a photogenic model *smile*

Soon to be parents with Baby Bailey.

We waved good-bye to Betsy and baby Bailey and headed straight to Putra Ballroon, Bukit Padang for our friend's, Clifford and Emily @ Melle, wedding reception. Both bride and groom looked beautiful and charming. To the newly weds, may they have a happy and blessed wedding.. cepat-cepat ada waris hehe.. Here are some photos of the wedding's events...

31 Weeks Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 10:18:00 +0000

I'm 31 weeks pregnant this week.. Feeling tired and hungry all the time.. Also, having the urge to visit the toilet every 1 or 2 hours.

My appointment is now scheduled once in two weeks.. The last ultrasound scan shows that baby's head is now down at the bottom, which means good news and hopefully will stay in that position for the rest of the weeks.. Baby's weight is 1.5 kg at the moment.

My changing life:
1) Belly is getting bigger and bigger everyday as baby is rapidly growing inside hehe.. or probably because of the frequent food takings... lol
2) Backache.
3) Trouble sleeping.
4) Heartburn whenever i missed my meals.
5) Noticeable stretch marks under belly button.. :(
6) Feeling overjoy and exited everytime my baby moves inside.
7) A little bit moody.
8) Loving and bonding with my baby already.
9) Worried if I'll be a good mother or not. Hmm
10) Surfing the net a lot for information on how to care for my baby. Of course people said I will
naturally learn it when the baby arrives. But, no harm in preparing myself, I believe.
11) And etc.. etc.. I don't think I'll be able to list all the changes haha..

My Baby Growth: (information obtained from www.babycenter.com)

This week, my baby measures over 16 inches long. He/She weighs about 3.3 pounds (1.5kg) and is heading into a growth spurt. He/She can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his/her skin. He/She's probably moving a lot, too, so I may have trouble sleeping because my baby's kicks and somersaults keeps me up which is a sign that my baby is active and healthy.

Your Baby's Growth and Development

Your baby keeps gaining weight rapidly by pregnancy week 31. By 31 weeks pregnant your baby will weigh almost 3 and a half pounds and will be about 18 inches long! Your baby is busy accumulating layers of fat under his skin as you continue your pregnancy week by week. The arms, legs and body start to fill out and look less wrinkly as each week progresses. Your baby may be finding the space in your womb tighter and tighter by 31 weeks pregnant. You may also feel more and more uncomfortable by pregnancy at 31 weeks as your baby continues to grow and the space in your womb decreases each week.

Though your baby's movements should continue to be strong, they will likely be less dramatic and sporadic at this point in your pregnancy. You may see an arm slowly moving across your belly. You will probably start realizing just how strong your unborn baby is from here on out. Kicks and sudden movement changes may cause you to gasp unexpectedly, much to the delight and amazement of onlookers.

Changes in You

You may be more and more aware of your breasts as your pregnancy progresses during the third trimester. Some women may start to leak colostrum at this point in their pregnancy. Colostrum is simply the pre milk that your breasts form to nourish your newborn baby during the first few days of life. Colostrum can be clear or slightly tinged with yellow or even orange depending on a number of factors. While some women will not notice colostrum until they approach delivery, others will start leaking even this early in pregnancy.

Mother's Day Special

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Sun, 10 May 2009 05:18:00 +0000

Wishing all of you a blessed and full of love on this Mother's Day.. To me, everyday is Mother's Day...

M - O - T - H - E - R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,

"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

Mothers and Daughters

We're daughters and mothers
Not so long ago.
We give and take
And take and give
Along time's endless row.
Love is passed
And love received
To be passed on again:
A precious heirloom
Twice, twice blessed,
A spiritual cardigan.

I'll put it on
And treasure it,
The me I have received,
And when the roles
Reverse again,
I'll have what I most need.

So may our love
Go on and on,
A hundred thousand years;
Mothers and daughters,
Daughters and mothers,
Through joys and other tears.

Canceled our plan to join the Ka'amatan State Launching in Papar yesterday all because of bad weather. It was raining heavily in the morning so we decided to stay at home and enjoy the rain.. Hahaha apa lagi sleep all day lah.. *smile* But not to worry, for more informations on the Papar Ka'amatan event, you can visit the following site: http://mandarch.com or www.undukngadau.com...

Come afternoon the rain stopped but both of us malas already to travel so far to Papar. We decided to go to the cinema. Its been quite a while since we last visited the cinema and didn't want to stay at home wasting the whole day sleeping, we then planned to watch the latest movie - X-men the origin, Wolverine. I personally recommend this movie for those who likes action.

HAPPY LABOR DAY

noreply@blogger.com (sab's) — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 12:45:00 +0000

To all faithful and hardworking workers, government or non-government, out there.. Tomorrow's holiday, 1st of May, is specially dedicated to all of you.. Do you have anything planned for tomorrow? Whether it'd be simply staying at home, window shopping or jalan-jalan, there's nothing better than spending your time with your beloved one or your family.

Well, for those who have nothing planned for tomorrow, here's one suggestion. 1st of May also mark the beginning of Pesta Ka'amatan (Harvest Festival) all around Sabah. This year, Papar district was chosen to have the honor of hosting the launching ceremony of the Ka'amatan celebration. Those who stayed near Papar are all welcome to come and celebrate the ceremony. The launching ceremony will take place at the Dewan Masyarakat Baru, Papar. The theme for this year's celebration is ‘Together We Mould a Better Future' ("Bersama Membentuk Masa Depan Yang Lebih Baik”). Some of the event featured would be ‘Sugandoi’ (singing) and the Unduk Ngadau pageant as well as traditional sports and agriculture-products exhibition.

So, better not miss the chance of joining Papar's people in the launching of Pesta Ka'amatan this year. Kita kasi aramaitii di Papar *smile*. I will be there with hubby, hopefully, if he can take the day off. After all, it is Labor Day *lol*. Anyway, whatever it is you planned to do tomorrow, I hope you enjoy your special holiday with your family.

Take care, enjoy and once again.... HAPPY LABOR DAY to all Malaysian.
