Ok, I didn't want this blog to turn into a baby blog. So I made a new blog here.
I don't know how much I'll be updating this blog. I think I may want to archive it. But if you're interested to know more about my journey through pregnancy go ahead and visit me in my new place.

???
July 30, 2007What can I say? The picture says it all. I've been meaning to put this picture up so I remember when it happened. But have been too busy to do so. Oh man, we're still in the phase of just thinking that it's all surreal. Haven't been to the doctor's yet but the appointment is for September. Apparently kat US ni doctor's don't see you till your 8-12th week. So that's why it's so late.
I'm delighted. Been wanting to join the ranks of new mommies for a while now. Scared too coz dunno if I can handle this. But I think with so many friends (offline and online) who are new mommies, everyone will have some advice to give. Hopefully hubby is as calm. The other day papa (his papa) told me that hubby was nervous. Bless him...... I think he's thinking about how he really is responsible for me and another being now.
Haven't told anyone but the nuclear family and my bestest friend in the world. I mean, it's still early. So I don't want to tell everyone just in case you know? Pray for me!

I've been sucked into the hype!
Oh shoot me now. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I got sucked into the hype of this bag. I first read it on this person's blog. As soon as I realized that it was going to be on sale in the US at these stores, I quickly called my brother-in-law (BIL) to get one for me. So, I thought he wouldn't do it but he did! So tak percaya ok! He called us at 5:30am to say that he just arrived at the store and there was already a long line. He joined the line and told hubby to warn me that he might not get any. Boo hoo ok. But 10 minutes later he called again and said that the store rep had come out to say that they have more than enough for everybody. Three bags per person and when they counted, BIL would most definitely get the set of three as long as no one cut the queue. He couldn't help but mention that there were only asians lined up for the bags. Asians here mean oriental looking - chinese looking = Japanese, Korean, Chinese and the like. Hohoooo how kiasu we all are. Orang mat salleh tak kisah pun!!! Apparently after getting the set of three, BIL joined the back of the line again and almost got another set of three. The person in front of him got the last 3 bags from that store.
I don't know how I'll be using the bag yet. It's supposed to be used as a reusable grocery bag. Tengoklah. :p
In other news, hubby is almost done with his month long vacation. But before he starts work we're flying to the west to see the in-laws for the weekend. Kinda looking forward to do that, but also not so much coz we have to attend some kenduri thingy and the malays there have never really accepted me into their circle. I mean... I'm kind of a loner and I always get all weirded out when we see hubby's ex there. I mean, she's married and all that now but ughhhhhhhhhhhhh tak suka ok. She was so disrespectful when hubby and I were going out. Was trying to get him back and trying to win him over by sending baked goods to him on his birthday and all. And when we were getting married she acted all nicey-nicey, wishing him well but not forgetting to say that she knew that this life he had was what he wished for. Bull! Ugh. Benci. I really don't know how to control THAT part of my emotion. Seriously. I wish I didn't feel this way.
Anyway, I also got my HP OTP today. The UPS guy who delivered it actually had a wizard's hat and the spectacles. So kelakar. :p I wish I had gotten a picture of it. Just hilarious I tell you! And with that, the undomestic diva has to go fix some dinner tonight before she can continue gluing her nose to the pages of the new HP book. :)

So bloody proud!
Hubby is done with residency and I'm soooooooooooooooo proud of him that my heart could just burst with pride! I can't believe he's finally done. To think that when we first moved here, we didn't know anyone, were struggling to find our way around town, and getting used to the racist comments that were thrown our way.
Now he will get to earn the money he deserves after 10 years of school + training (actually 8 lah coz he took 2 years off). I feel so much a part of the hard work he has gone through this past 3 years. I was with him when he applied for the positions, attended interviews and 'first look weekends'. I was home alone when he was on call every 2 nights and there for him when he was stressed out and could not stop ranting about work and the lazy co-workers he had, or the inefficient system they were forced to use. I got to see him grow into a mature person and a more tolerant human being, a better listener and a better provider.
But I also feel bad coz I was not a perfect wife. I was upset when he wanted to spend more time on extra activities at work. I asked him to stop whining when I could not take any more of his stressful rants, I gave him a hard time when he was unable to take time off for vacation and I sometimes forgot to do the laundry so much so that he didn't have any clean underwear to wear to work. heeeeeeeeeee bad wife!
But all of that has come to this. Our parents flew in for his graduation lunch and we saw how loved he was by the staff at his workplace. We saw how much all the other residents sacrificed a lot for the job too. We saw hubby awarded with not just one, but two different awards. I tell you, it took me every ounce of energy in my body not to jump up and down for joy and shriek with delight!
But in all of that, it humbles me that we've been blessed by Him. It makes me want to be a better mus|im and a better person.
Sayang I'm so proud of you!

Busy Bee
My goodness I've been so busy! It's so great to have my parents here. Too bad there's nothing much to do in this stinking boring town. I feel bad coz my dad isn't quite used to driving on the right side of the road and the road rules are slightly different so he'd rather stay at home than go jalan-jalan when I'm not around. I took two days off from work and then half a day off today, but I still feel bad coz they were stuck at home for two days with no where to go. Walking is an option but the area we live in is not conducive for that mode of transportation. No taxis, no efficient buses nor trains. So at home they stayed.
Tomorrow the in-laws are flying and boy it's going to be even busier!! They didn't plan on being in town at the same time, but it's still going to be cool to have the whole family together-minus the siblings. But there's time for that in the future.
Hubby has been very good! He's made good conversation with daddy dearest and has not been annoyed with any of my family's quirks yet. There has been some instances when he thinks some negative thoughts. But it's just him learning about the family. He's never really had to live or stay very long with my family when we got married because I came here a few months after the wedding. So I got to see how his family worked and he only got to see some of the things about my family that makes them special. I hope he sees more and more about how people can be different and being different doesn't necessarily equal being bad. Even if it is, something that the other family talks negatively about. Does that make sense?
Anyhoo.... I've had to quickly make some nasi lemak for the in-laws' breakfast tomorrow. Thank goodness my mom helped in the kitchen too. Or else it would've taken forever for me to clear up the kitchen and prepare the food at the same time. Gotta keep everything spick and span as mum-in-law is a neat and clean freak!! Boy, now it's my turn to be nervous! heeeeeeeeee

phew
What a long 3 weeks it has been for me. Elisa, thanks for dropping the comment. I didn't think anyone dropped by my blog anymore. After all, I haven't been diligent in updating it.
Anyway, I've had to think deep and hard and go through so many different emotions this past month. Things I've learned is that everyone has a different way of viewing an issue. And it's up to me to decide which is the best for myself. Coz only hubby and me really understand and know what we've been through and what our threshold for arguments are.
Things that make me wonder though are of the differing opinion one person compared to another.
Quotes I still remember and had swimming around my head were:
Online chatting really isn't cheating. He just wants to know if he still 'has it'. (try and guess if this person is a guy or girl!).
Knowing that he needs more than what you can give, you have to decide if you want to give the extra bit to him and lose a little bit more of yourself.
You have to remember that syurga di bawah tapak kaki ibu and suami. To be the best person you can be, your number 1 priority is your husband.
The best and most comforting words came from hubby himself.
You have a right to be angry and no, you're not making a big issue out of this. I'm sorry. I have a problem and I want to fix it.
So taking in all that I've heard, I do believe that there are more good qualities in our marriage than the bad. But I can't help thinking, is it really true that men can't be without their women. So is life really all about making sure that he's happy coz if he's not, he will find it elsewhere - be it through friends, through strangers or other weird hobbies.
Is this another lesson in life?
