Rimas. That’s the one word that I can say right now when I step foot in the office.

I get it, they’re being friendly to me and never get things back in return from me coz I prefer to distant away from them tp mereka masih tak makan saman bebudak departmentku ini.

I dunno why they’re so eagerly excited over my pregnancy. Perlu ke?

1. I have a paper bag full of pregnancy magazine here beneath my work table given by person A. And I have two thick books as well inside the paper bag. One of the  book was passed down by my colleague by person A gak. But since she’s not pregnant yet, and dia tanak pass to person A, she decided to pass it to me. Mcm ok…I already have that book but since I don’t dare to decline, I just chuck it inside the paper bag. Another book, mmg sangat tak tahan. The owner said she has never borrowed the book to anyone except her cousin and she mentioned the book is from the UK la, very informative la etc etc etc. Ok..the day came and I got the book from her. Hancur lunyai I tell u buku tu..each page u flip u will hear a tear coz d rim of the book dah mmg hancur..dah rasa cam nak selotape je d whole book. Aih..takpela kita pk niat suci murni dia je la ye.

2. Person A ni last week just gave me a present. (see picture below)

Person A ni mmg bermurah hati walaupun present yg dia bagi ni, dah tinggal suku je  botol sebenarnya. Disebabkan this item came all the way from the UK, yes again the UK..tadi dpt buku lunyai kan, skang dpt suku botol leg & foot spritzer plak. Tsk tsk tsk..takpela, kita amik saje. It’s in the paper bag as well..ntah bila nak guna pun tatau. Kaki blm bengkak lagi..nanti la tunggu 3rd trimester kite abehkan botol ni.

3. I have a personal midwife at the office. At first, mmg I find it very beneficial the infos that she passed down to me regarding GL, stem cells, baby warehouse sales around KL, baby development tapi lelame tu dah naik rimas. Aku naik berat badan pun dah cam dosa besar (tau la berat badan ko menten je), tak tanya soalan to my gynae during my check up pun dpt raised eyebrows from her (tau la ur gynae tu is Ham*id Ar*shad), tatau whether the baby is moving or not inside me pun dpt chuckle dari dia (tau la at ur stage now its obvious bila ur baby tgh ligat ke tak)..cuba la jgn buat spotcheck sangat dgn aku bleh tak? Yela tau la ko dah masuk 3rd trimester kan..aku ni junior je. My appointment dates pun dia tau bila..

4. Ckp pasal spotcheck, ada jugak colleagues yg akan usya what I will be eating at my desk. Aritu beli tin biskut Danone pun kene tegur, coz it’s not nutritious, kene bebel suh makan bird food. Last² aku letak tin biskut tu kat meja org lain, kalo aku rasa nak makan biskut tak nutritious tu I will walk to my colleague’s table. Ada skali tu tekak mmg terasa nak makan Double Decker, so I bought a packet after lunch. Tanak kena berleter punya pasal..sanggup seludup tu, sorok dalam laci, dah pepetang baru krup2 makan sengsorang huhu.

5. Aku tak suka org pat my tummy without asking my permission. It’s like intruding my privacy..but sigh……..laju je tangan memasing landing.

Rimas..rimas..rimas..

This morning I went for my check up. Sangat teruja sampai xleh sambung tido dah pagi tadi coz of 2 reasons :

a) tak sabar nak tgk lil one. Nak tgk progress dia, nak tau jantina dia huhu kut² la dapat peluang mcm my fren here dpt tau at 17 weeks.

b) nak tanya hospital pasal GL.

After mummy & lil one’s check up :

• Lil one tgh tido / golek² layan feeling in his own world. Lil one’s position bebetul mcm iklan baby that we usually see on TV bila ada gambar baby during ultrasound. Terletak elok je dlm womb tu with his visible heartbeat. His? hehe..ntahla sampai ke arini instinct mengatakan it’s a boy tp we’ll see je la. Tak kisah la sayang kalo tanak lompat² say Hi kat Mummy & Daddy asalkan sume ok la ye, last month kecik comey je, skang dah terbentuk dah his head and body. Ok, his lagi! Ish. Sorry can’t help it.
• Berat badan Mummy dah naik lagi dgn jayanya haha. Kali ni tanak tipu nurse dah, mmg bagitau total weight bebetul. 53.6kg. Yes, amik kau. Aritu 50.2kg skang dah naik lagi. Tak kisah gak coz doctor kata “berat badan normal” . Ngee. Skang bukan takat berat badan je tgh expanding. My drumstick, my butt, my breast sume tgh in sync with the belly’s progress. Rasanya mcm dah naik cup C je ni hehe. Should I buy a maternity bra or just a normal bra with a bigger cup? *confused*
• Lagi satu mende Mummy confuse is my blood type. The outcome of last month’s blood test yg 3 tiub tu was ok, no problem with me except after delivery I need to go for Hepatitis B vaccination since it’s not detected in my blood. (Dah mmg tak penah buat pun) pastu my Rh is + and the weirdest thing of all, I have an O Blood Type. All these years I’ve been thinking I’m type B, dahla aritu company punya medical check up dgn egonya takmo amik the medical report, dgn alasan for pregnancy ni will have a monthly check up gak so I cannot counter check. Dah tak pepasal I had to call my mum for her to check my medical records kalo ada card that states I’m type B, huhu if not I have to take again the blood test to double confirm my blood type. Ish kes naya tu.

New progress :

But anyhow one good news, SMC or now known as KPJ Selangor Specialist Hospital accepts GL from my company! Wooot. Takyah nak pening pale nak fork out my own money first and claim later from the company, now the company will pay the full amount and 20% will be deducted later from my salary. Tak kisah la, asalkan the company pay upfront first. Whee..lega den.

Have also enrolled myself in the antenatal class next month. Outsiders too is welcomed to join. Mummy to be out there, ada sesape nak join gue? It’s on 2nd January 2010 from 9am-6pm (Yes, it’s a long freaking day and my Saturday will be doomed), and registration is RM80. Meals will be provided of course. I decided to join this class because it’s my gynae who will be giving the talk during the class. So, might as well grab some key points. Bosan gak baca buku, surf the net, blog hopping..kali ni dpt real info from the doctor itself.

p/s : terkilan tak dapat pic lil one arini from the doc. Slaluenye every check up doc will give the pic for us to keep, kali ni dia pun tak print out for herself. Sedey. Tak dapat nak update scrap book takpela we’ll meet again next mth ye lil one..

Being pregnant ni sebenarnya banyak menguji kesabaran both you and your partner. Lelebih lagi kalo kita perempuan yg jenis independent, kita tau apa role kita kena buat kat umah pastu tetibe bila dah preggy, sume mende ni (depends on each person yg preggy) kena dilepaskan kpd sang suami.

Terasa ada culture shock sedikit (sedikit ke?) between kami  berdua. Yela, selama ni takyah disuruh aku laju je membasuh baju, menyidai dan melipat baju. Kalo bilik air dah kotor, mmg selalunye it’s my job to clean it. Sang suami mengvakum rumah, si isteri plak mop rumah. Kalo masak, sang suami dah sediakan raw ingredient potong sesiap, si isteri yang menjadi tukang masak sambil setia merujuk resepi di sebelah. Tak reti masak la katekan. Masa beramas mesra hehe, dulu bukan main. Sentuh sket ON aje..hehe. Mmg targetnya nak make a baby pun kan coz dedua sudah bersedia. Kiss, kiss, hug, hug tu dulu sangat best.

Why do I say dulu? Coz once the pregnancy hormone comes in us, segala-galanya berubah. Si suami yg hot macho looking dude kita pandang sebelah mata je. Dia pakai perfume A, B, C sumenye BUSUK bagi aku. Dia nak hug, aku tepis tepi. Alasan aku – PANAS. I cannot stand his body heat. Apetah lagi kalo nak ON, kat dahi aku awal2 dah tertulis OFF. Bukan disengajakan, mmg kesian tgk si suami masih seperti dulu tapi si isteri yg sudah berubah yg lebih rela memeluk bantal peluk rather than memeluk suami sendiri. Waktu tidur skang menjadi one big ordeal bagi si isteri. Awal2 si isteri dah amik mood tido, nak tido sejam awal dari si suami. Namun, the 5 senses in the wife dah seolah-olah jadi mcm deria haiwan. Terlampau sensitive. Walaupun dah diulit mimpi, tp once si suami sudah start irama lagunya mata akan terjaga lepas tu susah nak tido balik. Kucing dok mengawan kat luar pun bleh dgr. Jiran rumah sebelah balik kul 1-2 pagi pun bole dengar, apetah lagi bunyi hujan yg turun semasa korang sedang nyenyakkk tido. Akhirnya keesokan paginya, aku migraine.

Migraine bukan sekadar migraine biasa. Teruk. Sampai kengkadang tahap xleh pegi keja. Mcm arini. Terpaksa la bukak freezer, amik ketulan ais, letak dlm mangkuk besar. Pastu lepas isi mangkuk tu dgn air, amik towel kecik, dituamnya kat leher, kat muka, kat mata nak kurangkan sakit kepala. Panadol nak tanak terpaksa ditelan 2 bijik. Si suami hanya mampu berkata SORRY for his actions. Tp kita xleh salahkan dia gak, dia penat..of coz dia akan berdengkur. Cuma aku frust tinge aku ni dah jadi cam extra sensitive sampai semalam kat ofis, I had to email a colleague of mine who was sitting about 5 rows away from me, suruh dia slow down volume walaupun dia dok dgr lagu thru his headphone. Bayangkan..5 rows away tu.

Skang ni, si suami yg jadi si isteri. Dah terbalik role kami berdua. Dia yg memasak, dia yg membasuh, dia yg menyediakan segala-galanya. Aku cuma tau bila sampai rumah, bukak pintu rumah luas-luas coz hidung ni masih tak dpt menerima lagi bau masakan. Pepagi lepas bangun tido pun aku buat mende yg sama coz aku rasa bau rumah aku ni hapak, sedangkan si suami tak bau pape. Siang malam keje aku dok spray Glade’s air freshener je. Walaupun efek dia tak sampai la 10min, janji tade bau hapak. Bau baju lepas dibasuh pun aku takleh terima. Busuk bagi aku. Aku benci bila kami terpaksa basuh baju pada waktu malam. Terseksa aku menahan bau dalam umah ni. Maka, pepagi lagi keesokkan arinya aku dah mengarah si suami utk letak jemuran baju di luar. Mmg dah mcm queen control aku ni kan.

Again, ini bukan disengajakan.

So, papa to be out there..bersedialah utk menghadapi kerenah mama to be ni. Some mama to be tak banyak songehnya, masih bole menjalankan tugas seperti biasa, masih bole memasak, bermesra, bersegala-galanya lah dgn kamu..tp ada juga mama to be yg langsung xleh buat pape, langsung tak berguna la senang cite.  I really miss being the old me.

What do you guys think? I still have no idea..mcm 50-50 je, ke mata aku yg juling lepas jwp so many questions? hehe

I have 30mins left before lunch time and my sweater and working pants are full of cookie debris..comot gila aku makan.

This is basically how I am everyday at work. If my car needs refueling, in the morning when I head to work I’ll buy anything on the counter at the nearest Petronas, walaupun tak sedap mana I know I have to eat either a nasik lemak/nasik goreng/sandwich along with a small bottle of Orange Sunkist/Ribena/Yeos Soya drink. Sometimes when I’ve had enough of Petronas food, I will inform my colleague to buy the most sinful nasik lemak I’ve ever tasted coz nasik dahla menimbun, walaupun I ask for nasik lemak biasa je, but the combination of the sambal and the telur rebus and the nasik yg berlemak tu ooh soooo sinful that 30mins later mata den dah jadi kuyu coz ngantuk hahaa. Before I head to the petrol station, the first think I would do when I wake up is to head straight to the kitchen and eat a bowl of cereal. Tak mandi tak gosok gigi lagi tu, celik mata je terus ngapppppp makan. Hehe then baru mandi. Before I head out, if there is a bun or bread, I will eat a slice spread with butter.  Once i’m at the office, every 2 hours I’ll be munching a cookie, a sandwich, a chewing gum, a Mentos, a small packet of Twisties, a fruit. Basically I will be eating.

Mcm rojak sket kan paragraph atas tu. Huhu sorry.

But the one and only dish that I constantly yearn to eat, tahap dah merengek² dah dgn sang suami complaining to him that it’s SO BLOODY HARD for me to eat is….

sweet sour fish!

Both husband and I are not fish lovers. He totally loathe fish, masih saiko lagi dgn alkisah silam zaman kekanak tercekik tulang ikan terus dibannya ikan from his menu for the rest of his life. He only eats sardine and ikan bilis and fish nugget/fillet hehe. I on the other hand, prefers ikan yg berkuah. So, I only eat sweet sour fish and kari ikan besides sardine la. I’m not a fan of ikan goreng, ikan bakar, ikan ape saja la. Soooo…….I dunno why since I got preggy, the need for SSF  (short form for sweet sour fish ye, bukan kedai deco tu tau!) has been increasing like mad. Sesket nak ikan, sesket nak ikan..hubby dah menggaru pale how la to satisfy the wife because :

a) Kedai tomyam like Vicchuda at my housing area sells gigantic siakap masam manis like the pic above. I asked the price, it’s about RM38. Ish tak kuasa aku nak spend sebanyak tu and eat dat huge fish all by myself..

b) I can’t cook. Dah enter 2nd trimester pon I can’t enter the kitchen. I can’t cook, kenot tahan bau, kenot tahan bau nasik tengah masak, so for me to cook the dish on my own is OUT.

c) Hubby still doesn’t have the courage to cook the dish yet.

d) the only kedai that has sweet sour fish in variety of sizes and jenis ikan..could be tenggiri, bawal, kembung cut in small pieces is only at Seri TTDI @ TTDI Jaya which we could only go during the weekend. Imagine my ordeal having to wait for 5-6 days before dapat ngap seciput ikan? Urghh.

There was an instance that he actually drove all the way from his work place on a working day to that place, just to tapau that dish for me hehehe..parents plak kali ni jarang plak balik Shah Alam, if not bole heret dorang mkn siakap..huwaaa!

But everyday my need for food changes. Like now, I want karipap. Yes karipap. Kat mana la nak dpt karipap at 11 in the morning? hehe. And I want cokodok pisang. Gahhh tension gile! And then I specifically wants karipap sold by anyone out there yg berniaga di tepi jalan bwh payung kaler²..tanak dari kedai mkn ke frozen food ke petronas ke..nak dari bwh payung..howwwwwwww laaaaaaaa. Cokodok pisang plak I want my dad’s cokodok yg bulat² itu.

Sigh. I guess i’m really homesick.

Hubby now is doing all the cooking at home, serious kagum dgn dia. Aku ni during the 2mths of marriage, tetiap kali nak masak mesti ada resepi kat tepi. Dia? main campak je..tak refer to anything. Kagum gila. He always ask me what I want to eat so that he can try to cook, but the thing is..I only want SSF, SSF, SSF..huhu so even though dia masak udang ke sotong ke ayam ke daging ke..it’s still not fulfilling to me. Kesian kan..sometimes makan bape suap je pastu tak lalu dah..sian dia. Luckily he understands..tak kecik ati dgn bini dia.

Ok..it’s lunch time now…time to go out to hunt for food walaupun I have no idea wat to eat

p/s : masih lagi berjaya memekakkan telinga bila org sound minum air ais, makan mende yg sweet and salty
