Sick....

I hate being sick.. but worse of all I hate being on MC.. reason is.. i don't get to rest either.. this time round I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE!

Since my symptoms are sore throat, shivering and fever doc gave me 3 days MC (today was half a day cuz I actually went to work!!) cuz he's worried i might get the pox!

I tried to reason out with him to reduce my MC to 2 days instead but he was having none of it!! uurrrghhh .. He said if these 3 days nothing sprouted, I'm safe.. I wanted to get the vaccine but the doc said not if i'm having high fever! dang!

Faiz 3rd Birthday

We decided not to celebrate it on a big scale this year since it was a risk for Faisal to come back.. we were worried either me or Faiz might get the pox.. and Faisal haven't gotten them and it'll be worse if he gets it alone in Jakarta..

So we decided on a simple lepak session over at Cik Midah's, I ordered the Chocolate Indulgence cake for the 2 birthday boys... (cik Nani is also on the 30th). Diyan bought a firetruck for Faiz. Even though its probably the 5th firetruck he has, he loved it nonetheless!

I had a massive throbbing headache and Cik Midah used this contraption on my head called 'The Orgasmatron'! It was pretty orgasmic if you ask me! hahahah I didn't care if i looked awful.. all i know it made me feel good! :-)

Today we went to the zoo... Mama bought the 1 year zoo membership for Faiz gift since otherwise the $ will be spent on toys anyway! Managed to watch all the animal shows and the elephants of Asia was particularly exciting for Faiz. He received a 'birthday shower' from the elephants! He was standing right in front when the 'Gambir' spurted water all over the audience and since he was right in front, he was soaked! TWICE!!

While on the way to Toys R Us i was feeling unwell and couldn't muster up any energy to snap any more photos.. we were in & out of there in 30 mins!! Record time! lol
Went home, check my temp, had fever, popped 2 panadols and went to sleep for 3 hours! I feel guilty I couldn't spent the evening half with Faiz for a nice closing... :-(

Advanced Gift

Its Faiz's 3rd birthday tomorrow and i can't believe its been 3 years since i last pushed and groaned without anesthesia! Yati bought both boys gift so that they wont fight.. i was so touched! I am so blessed to have such a great friend!

The kids tore at the gifts and Faris was really happy (as if its his birthday!) cuz she bought Transformers figurines for Faiz (which Faris love!) and Jr Monopoly (which he also loves!) So in the end he gets both! Faiz didn't mind cuz he was more excited at tearing the gift-wrapper anyway~

The boys have different tastes in toys. Faris has always been more Power Ranger, Transformer (anything to do with weapons & swords) kinda fella and Faiz is a very transportation kinda guy.. trucks, busses, trains and animals! He loves those battery operated animal figurines that has sounds.. you know.. figurine cow that says Moo Moo kinda things?

We are not doing any celebrating at all since Fai is not coming back. So we'll head down to Toys R' Us to shop for toys in the morning and head down to the zoo tomorrow. Today we'll pop over to Cik Midah's place for a lepak session. I've ordered Chocolate Indulgence from Secret Recipe so we'll do a joint birthday with Cik Nani..

Beautiful Dreamer

I just got through watching this movie 5 min ago and still sniffling... all i can say is that Colin Egglesfield is gorgeous! :-p.. Makes the 2 hour bearable...

Plot Outline: Set in the 40s during the war, a pilot (Egglesfield) gets shot down and gets amnesia, later on his stricken-with-grief wife (Langton) finds him in a small town and his shocked that he doesn't remember her.

Of course the ending is as expected.. happily ever after... tear-worthy enough but can never compare to The Notebook.

BUT I WILL look for more movie / series that Colin Egglesfield have acted in! hehehhe

Back to Black

I've been into Amy Winehouse since her album was released and i haven't heard her songs on the airwaves lately and the tabloids have been reporting very little of her ever since she went into rehab... anyway.. these are the lyrics and those who have never heard her songs, its on my music list on multiply..PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT LYRICS

He left no time to regret,
Kept his dick wet,
With his same old safe bet.
Me & my head high,
And my tears dry,
Get on without my guy.
You went back to what you knew,
So far removed
From all that we went through.
And I tread a troubled track,
My odds are stacked,
I go back to black.

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe,
And I'm a tired penny rolling up the walls inside.

We only said goodbye with words
[Back to Black lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...
We only said goodbye with words 
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
I go back to...
I go back to...

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black 

Chicken Pox

Poor Faris is down with chicken pox!! i'm worried.. in my 30 years (ahem) of life... i've never been struck by it. managed to avoid anyone who had it...

Took him to the doc, the he could only muster "80% its chicken pox but you have to come back for me to be sure!" uurrrgghh

So mama took him back to see another doc the next day to get a 2nd opinion..yeap... its is the pox alright...... Me and Faiz cant get the vaccine since we've already been exposed... so we'll see....

Penang Laksa

I was craving for Penang Laksa and the Banquet at Causeway Point doesn't sell it anymore... sob sob.. anyone knows anywhere that sells nice Penang Laksa??

Anyway we decided to cook a simple one using the paste that Shamin bought from Penang for me.. went to Sheng Siong for the ingredients and visited Marziah at the hospital, came back, got the Laksa ready and started digging in... yuuuummmmm...

JAKARTA MARCH 2008

I did it!! I finally managed to travel with the boys on my own without mama being around!! It was definitely a feat !! ahahha The boys definately had fun.. going to the WaterBom Park, playing mini golf and i got to pamper myself with Mani, Pedi, a Wave Spa as well as reflexology... talk about the high life... :-) We visited Zaki's baby boy Ilyas Zaki Wijaja.. welcome to the gang buddy! Silvia came back from the hospital on sunday itself and we visited them at their home at Klapa Gading. Such an adorable little fella Ilyas was! I bought them a Fisher Price Baby Bouncer and Ilyas seems contented lying in it.

After that something freaky happened! I got attacked!! By an insect! looked more like a kutu beras and it flew right in my eye! At that point of time it didnt matter if i didn't look glam in my new hairdo!! Fai couldn't see anything and the person who rescued me was Faris! He pulled that little bugger out of my eye socket! eeeuuuuuwwwww

So i was stuck with a really irritated eye for 3 days! uurrrgghhh.. I look like a good poster cover for some horror movie! lol

Hair Dye

I've been dyeing my hair since I was in Primary 5 until now that i forgot the 'original' colour of my hair! (as if!) Yes yes... primary 5!! With those shampoo in  & shampoo out kind... then it progressed to the real thing.

I was being adventurous a month ago and dyed my hair a 'Milk Tea' hue.. it was lighter than the usual but i thought it'll be fun for a change...

Then last week i realize my hair was 'ORANGE' under the sun! Man i look like 1 bloody Ah Lian!! I panicked and went home to re-dye it a darker shade of brown..I guess with every wash it gets lighter and lighter... i've never stepped into a salon to dye it before.. its always been DIY (for cost effective purpose) even streaks... bought the streak kit from Target and it turned out great! Which reminds me I have to put it on the list of things to buy in Melbourne!

Maybe i should just stop dyeing my hair all together... sigggghhhh
