Glowing like a lighthouse?

This is just a post on 'the glow of expecting moms'.
Other than brides-to-be, people believe that pregnant ladies also have this sorta glow on their face. Really?

I myself think other than my extremely dry skin, I just have a round face. Neither that my skin looks radiant, nor that it glows like a lighthouse for the sailors who are lost in the sea (that's a bit of exaggeration!).
Yet, colleagues and people approached me by saying "U look good! Not as skinny as u were before!"

Hmmm...does this mean that I have to be pregnant all the time? Hahaha.

On 2nd thought, maybe it is just another polite way of saying "Hey, u look plump!"

Yummy crabby

Ahhh...

When people ask me what is my fav food, actually I can hardly give the right answer. It's bcoz, to me...all food is good food. And I just love 'em.

Lately, I've been craving for so much food. Hehe...blame the baby! It's not me... :P
And today..upon request, Along cooked yellow curry crab for me. Yummy!

It made Aida (my niece) worried, as she guessed that's a sign for a baby boy, while she's hoping to get a li'l sister.
So...Adam or Lily first? I don't really bother. As long as the baby is perfectly healthy.

Lelaki ini...

Recently, after Sab, Zana & I finished our lunch at the Plaza Shah Alam, we stopped at a music shop, selling CDs and stuff. And..ahah!


I saw Abg Nuar's most awaited album. I've heard the melodious song 'Lelaki Ini' some time ago.
Was thinking that I should buy the CD so I can listen to his songs during my two-month confinement. Hahaha...



Lelaki Ini
Kasih, kenanganku
Ingatkah saat saat dulu
Kasih, apakah dirimu
Merasakan semua itu
Ke mana pun langkahku pergi
Ku masih melihat bayanganmu cintaku
Dan kemana pun arah anginku berlari
Hati ini masih kau miliki
Lelaki ini yang selalu mencintamu
Selalu, tanpa ragu
Lelaki ini yang selalu memuja
Hanya dirimu
Yang bertakhta dalam sanubariku
Sanubari ku
Aku yang mencintakan mu
Hanya dirimu…
Karena cintaku, tak berbatas waktu
Karena cintaku, tak mengenal jenuh hatimu
Hatimu…

Congrats, Yone!

It's Yone's graduation day. I was asked by Dr Wan to replace him to be on the stage during the ceremony. So, I donned into the graduation robe for PhD scholars from Salford. Wah! Melampau betul...

I can't wait to put on my own robe, surrounded by my proud hubby & kids, celebrating my PhD graduation day!
Anyway, Abah & Mak came to Shah Alam, just to attend it... apart from Abah's first time seeing Adam.

I was glad that I got the chance to bring my parents to Pak Ngah's house. Well, my parents rarely come to KL/ Shah Alam though their 3 daughters are here. So, I think this is the best time.

Black rat snake

Yes, I know. This is not a pix of the snake. I just don't intend to put it in this blog.

Yesterday, when we arrived home (almost dusk)... there was this little note attached near the main door.
"Kakak, hati-hati masuk rumah. Saya nampak ular hitam masuk pintu belakang tadi"
(Sis, be careful when entering. I saw a black snake slithering in through the back door just now")

So, we entered and rummaged the stuff in the rooms & living area haphazardly. Nothing was found. Upon seeing the lights were turned on, the neighbour called us and told us that they saw it sliding into the laundry room. Carefully, Sham opened the door...and there it was. Right in front of the door.

Sham told me to shower, pray and stay in the room while he called the fire station. I called Abah, and he told me to throw some coarse salt or spray it with insecticides, so it would just stay in one place but Sham refused to do it.

Then, the rescue team came and caught the snake. It was a rat snake, as they called it.

After that only Sham clarified to me that he didn't want to harm the snake to avoid taboo. Oh yes, I forgot that I am pregnant...
There is a prejudice that prohibits us from killing/beating animals because of its sacred nature, else the baby would come out impaired.
