It's Study Time!

No TV.
No iPad.
No outings.
No resting this weekend.
It's hitting the books and full swing revision.
Amin's year-end exam starts this Monday, until Thursday.
And as usual, it's the mommy that's currently having the panic attack!

Wordless Wednesday : An apple a day, keeps me sane

We do not need a bigger car

A new addition to the family member is coming soon, insyaAllah, in April 2012.
That's referring to my growing belly, of course.
So, do we need to upgrade to a bigger car?

Do we need more space?
For the baby car seat?
For mommy to seat at the back for easy breastfeeding and baby handling?
Hmm.. nahhh.. I don't think so.
We do not need a bigger car.
We just need a more spacious leg area!

Don't ask me.
I am also baffled as to why my boys love to sit, play and even fall asleep here!

Forgettable Bridesmaid

Watched this film a few nights back, and well, lets just say I can hardly recall it.

Of course, different people have different review on films.
So, this is just me going against this acclaimed US box office success.

It's about Annie's best friend Lilian's getting married.
During Lilian's engagement party, Annie met other four bridesmaids which are Lilian's cousin, future sis-in-law, some friend and her fiancée-boss's wife who claimed to be the best buds of all which to sum it all up, ended up in rival with Annie in proving who's the most closest friend of all to Lilian.

The series of unfortunate events that follows basically relates to these bridesmaids spending time with Lilian, picking out the bridesmaids dresses, planning for bachelorette party and finally the huge wedding ceremony.
Annie became the maid-of-dishonour but of course like any other romantic comedy, the heroin will pull through in the end.

Oh wait, did I just say romantic?
Yes, the only thing that crystal clear in my mind is the officer Nathan.

Seamed to be having a crush at Annie, who was in a casual-sex relationship with Ted.
Oh thank god for Chris O'Dowd being the nerdy cute and so down-to-earth, that solely made me stay until the end of this movie.

Of course, you can guess, happy ending to all.

Caution : Not to watch with your kids because of the several sex scenes and explicit language used.

What's your Kryptonite

Defined in Wikipedia, Kryptonite is a material from the Superman mythos —the ore form of a radioactive element from Superman's home planet of Krypton. It is famous for being the ultimate physical weakness of Superman.

So, what is it that makes u weak/ dizzy/ lost sense of direction, as soon as it's near you, but regain all your powers a.k.a back to normal, as soon as it is gone?

Example, according to my friend Gya, her Kryptonite is the car's leather upholstery.

Whenever she steps inside my car, or QZ's car, which has the full leather interior, she will instantly feel dizzy and be very quiet as to restrain her self from the nauseous feeling.
Yup, worse than a pregnant woman, I'm telling ya!
And she gets all perked up like normal as soon she steps out of the car.
Cured completely, no prolong side effect.


So then it struck me that hey, I too have a Kryptonite.
It's the minyak cap kapak!

Oh my god!
Seriously!
I HATE THIS SMELL !!
I know that this is the Malaysian most favourite oil said to sooth the stomach aches, cold, and nausea.
But to me, I can seriously get a migraine if I am left to inhale this for 60 seconds!

And oh, I know darn well what's hubby's Kryptonite is then.
Definitely the Durian.

He would spot the odour a few blocks away and will have trouble sleeping with this Durian smell lingers in the house.

And believe me when I say that he could vomit when accidentally ate a Durian flavoured candy!
Yes, that's my hubby's Kryptonite.

So, what's yours?

In Case of Emergency: Bags that double as weapons

Ohhhh how I miss blogging about bags.
But so sorry coz I don't have anything personal to jot my thoughts down due to time constraint.
Been kinda busy this week.
However, that doesn't stop me from reading about them while commuting to/ fro work.
Love this article so much that I just have to share it here.
From THE PURSEBLOG by the gorgeous Amanda Mull.
Enjoyyyy!!

What’s a girl to do, in the face of modern society ripping itself apart at the seams?
Arm herself, of course.
I’m not talking about getting a gun or a knife.
No, those are dangerous and it takes time to fish one out from the bottom of your bag.
I’m talking about getting a handbag that can also be used in self-defense maneuvers of all kinds, so that if the apocalypse should rain down while you’re at the movies, you’ll be prepared to survive in the dystopian hellscape that you encounter when you leave.
Or, you know, you can use most of these bags to whack a mugger in the head.
But doesn’t the former somehow seem more likely than the latter lately?
In all seriousness, though, be safe out there ladies.

Naturally, we couldn’t have this discussion at all without the Alexander McQueen Knuckle Duster Clutch.
This design is the original handbag-as-weapon, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a weapon-as-handbag. How you use this one should be obvious.

Those pointy bits on the front of the Botkier Flint Hobo are solid metal, and that means that in a pinch, you could cut one off, attach it to the end of a stick, and have yourself a handy shiv (or spear, if the stick is lengthy).

You may not be able to see it in this picture, but we’re all familiar with the big honkin’ chain that graces every Marc Jacobs Stam. I’ve got one myself, and every time I’ve flown with it, I’ve found myself a little nervous that airport security might wonder why I had such a long, heavy chain. You could stave off an attacker in any number of ways with this thing, including a swift blow to the noggin.

If there’s one thing that Alexander Wang’s bags are known for, it’s the sheet of solid, heavy studs that graces the bottoms of many of them. Of all the options in the line, the Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag is the best for self defense because of its long strap. Swing it around your head like Wonder Woman with her golden laso for maximum use of the bottom-mounted metal.

Because the studs on the Valentino Rockstud Satchel are of a different placement and lighter weight than the Wang bag, I’d suggest using this one with the short handles to give a harasser a quick smack directly to the face. And then run away.

Have a safe weekend ya ols!

11weeks 1day

Hi all..
First and foremost, thanks to all the wonderful wishes.
Special thanks to those texting and emailing me.. sooo sweet of u!

And again, so sorry for the lack of updates.
I'm not in the pink of health lately,.
The backpain.
The legpain.
The nausea.
The ever so sensitive nose.
The ever so tasteless tastebuds.
The lack of appetite.
The inconsistent digestion.
And many many more things that I am experiencing right now.

Ohh.. this pregnancy has started to take it's toll on me.
Unlike some people, mine started much later in the first trimester.
Not sure until when this will last.
Hope it's not too long.
Coz I get exhausted too quickly now.
Haven't got to do anything much lately as I get sleepy by 9pm.

Enough about the ramblings.
Here's the baby pics snapped during our recent follow up with Prof Siti.
The + sign on the left is the butt, on the right is the head.
Can you see the arm above the head, there?
Baby waived and said "Hi" to all.

Have a great weekend, my friends!!
