5 Things I Hate Being Pregnant

Photo by Schwangerschaft

Pregnancy is beautiful, and can be full of excitement. However, it can be irritating (sometimes...).

Small to Large

I always remind myself not to think about Kim K's baby bump as I always get goosebumps whenever I see her baby bump photos over the Internet. I even remind myself to eat moderately, beat all the cravings, and control my blood pressure and sugar level. I have to 'sacrifice' all my sexy dresses because of the baby bump. I cut off my spending on dresses and jeans due to the fact that 'I-am-getting-larger-than-before'. It's a good thing too as I can save more in my banks. Frankly speaking, I hate when some people say that I look like a pig when having a baby bump. Never insult a pregnant woman. That's a taboo.

Let Me Get My Girly Shit: Handbag

A woman cannot live without her handbag. It's part of trophy of femininity - We put almost everything inside there (you can say we even have spare tampons or G-string inside there). Like the kangaroo’s pouch, it seems part of all we are. You can be sure that a woman has been kidnapped or murdered if the handbag is left behind and the woman is nowhere to be found. If you ask me what's one thing that I cannot live without, besides chocolate of course, my answer would be "It’s a fabulous handbag!"

Scary Mommy

I must say that life is kicking great lately (even though I stumble once in a while). Yet, I still feel grateful for the blessings and people around me - both good and bad ones. I usually skip the bad ones, why should I have them on my list, then? Ambil yang jernih, buang yang keruh. Life must go on, anyway. Let those people do the talks. If they believe in karma, then they should be aware that whatever they spit might come back to them, sooner or later.

Review: 8Share - Share and Earn Cash!

Some of you might be wondering why you're having those 'readthisstory.net' flooding over your Facebook Timeline. For your information, they are not virus (I know some of you are 'traumatized' when your Facebook has been hacked before). In fact, readthisstory.net or bit.ly is an online service that provides performance statistics for websites, shortening URL (you sure don't wanna have a very very very very long URL just like those GeoCities era) and protects the Internet users from harmful and malicious activity that can happen when sharing links on the Internet, i.e. Facebook, and Twitter. So, what do 8Share, YouthSays, and SAYS have in common? 

Starbucks Moment

I seldom spend some times to enjoy the Frappuccino at Starbucks and when I do, I would love to hang there with my Hubby. We would sit there for hours and chat about anything. Our favourite spot is in front of the counter where we find it's rather siok and comfy. Siok enough to cubuk how the staff are doing their work. Macam mysterious shopper lah bah pula kalau begitu.

The Churchgoers

Image000091: The crowds… (via Photos from DavelynneDR)

Here's a photo taken during Sabbath day @ Menggatal Seventh-Day Adventist Church on 20 October 2007. It's an old photo but I still love all photos taken using my Canon 400D.

Uncredited

I found out the same photo with they've cropped off the 'photographer's name' from this photo. It's pretty sad but I assume that they have no knowledge about it. At least I know that they love my photo sampai guna untuk diorang punya sendiri. Hahahahahah!

Tom Yum Gai (Chicken Tomyum Soup)

Hubby was craving for Tom Yum soup, and he told me that he planned to go tapau after he finished with his workout. I told him just to come home straight from the gym as I'm going to make him a Tom Yum soup. Here's the recipe which I modified a bit (sebab tidak banyak raw materials yang ada dalam dapur). You can get the original recipe here.

The Mirror Test

Jeffrey Hayzlett is an accomplished marketer, and a successful businessman. He was a Vice President and CMO of Kodak. He's not a novel in marketing, and I admire his vast experience. A friend from Goodreads recommends me to read this as he found out that I'm more interested in Marketing, and Management subject.

Noel Cruz's Arts

Noel Cruz is a Filipino artist who transforms mass-produced dolls to create stunningly realistic one-of-a-kind figures of celebrities. He is most recognized for his character & celebrity based dolls due to their uncanny resemblance to the people they portray. I'm very impressed with his artworks. Check out for some of his works below.

Cold Thursday

It's still raining outside and hubby still asleep. I wake up and make breakfast for us. I've decided to stay at home today as I've done with the works in the office. Dad has asked me to get ample of rest as I had a few OT last week. While waiting for hubby to get ready, I'm watching this funny Andy Griffith's Play The Game. A very funny movie about the ego between man and woman.

A few slices of Pandan Pudding Cake, and a glass of fresh orange juice for breakfast. It's pretty cold outside, anyway. Hubby has asked me to make Chicken Soup for dinner. It feels so nice to cook for hubby. It makes me happy when he had 2 bowls of rice last evening. I'm going to make Chicken Soup, and Vegetarian Shrimp for dinner later.

Chicken Curry with Potatoes

I went browsing to get some ideas for today's dinner and I stumbled upon a blog which has lots of recipes. That's why I love the month of Ramadhan! Banyak makanan dan masak-masak di TV. As for dinner, I make Chicken Curry with Potatoes. Here's the recipe which I got from Dapur Tanpa Sempadan. By the way, bahan-bahan kasi kurang sebab 2 orang saja bah kami ni makan. I also omit and replace some of the ingredients.

Raspberry and Blackberry

My mini bubble bath creme and body butter cream set is here, and I cannot wait to try it at home later. It has yummy raspberry and blackberry scent. I hope it would leave my skin fragranced. Gonna deliver the other 2 sets to Rita, and Hazloria later. ^_^

It's my half day in the office today. Have a nice day! ^ω^

Ginger Chicken in Black Soy Sauce (酱油鸡)

This has been me & my hubby's favourite, and I'm going to cook this for our dinner tonight. It's a very simple recipe, tidak terlampau susah. I found a simple recipe from a blog, and decided to replicate it with my own touch. Habis semua diubah untuk ikut sedap lidah sendiri. Sedap atau tidak itu belakang kira.

1/2 small bowl Black Soy Sauce (Thick)

Ted Baker's Floral Printed Dress

We were watching E! when suddenly my hubby asked if I would like to go to the Church this Sabbath. I was so glad that he finally raised that 'Sabbath' issue, and remind me to go to the Church. I haven't been to the Church for months, and I'm so happy that he's willing to accompany. Thank you so much, dear. Hubby then asked me if I have a new dress to be worn (as he always see me wearing the same dresses to work).

"Let's get a new dress for you. No more mustard or pink dresses. My eyes can't bear to look at those colors anymore." 

Puji-Pujian

I had a conversation with my dear friend a few days ago. So, adalah ni satu cerita pasal pujian ikhlas, pujian 'epidermis', dan pujian 'berduri'. We use 'specific' terms to describe these kinds of pujian... Pujian ikhlas tu memang yang pujian lahir dari hati, memang tidak tipu dan pure macam cinta ikhlas kenen... Pujian 'epidermis' pula yang di kulit-kulit saja, yalah, pujian yang tidak ikhlas dan sekadar untuk kasi jack up supaya tu orang perasantut, or manusia yang memuji ni jenis puji di depan tapi di belakang dia umpat. That's Pujian Epidermis. Untuk Pujian Berduri pula, bagi definisi kami, this one is the most dangerous one. Why? Because pujian ni yang jenis menyindir atau mengejek, and very straightforward. Contoh-contoh kenen...

Situasi

Terserempak sama kawan satu Gereja/Office/Kuliah/Kelas yang makin lawa badan dan muka pun halus.

Pujian Ikhlas

Depan Kawan: "Eeee... Sia tinguk ko sekarang makin lama makin lawa tu body oh, tu muka pun makin halus ni..."

Dalam Hati Sendiri: "Eeee... Lawa oh badan dia sama muka dia... Sia mau oh ada badan macam dia & muka halus macam dia..."

Cakap Sama Kawan Lain: "Si anu punya badan sekarang lawa oh... Muka dia pun halus ni... Sia harap-harap sia ada badan lawa macam dia and muka halus macam dia oh..." OR ni orang diam saja inda kestau sepa-sepa (kalau dia jenis inda suka bergossip)

Pujian Epidermis

Depan Kawan: "Eeee... Sia tinguk ko sekarang makin lama makin lawa tu body oh, tu muka pun makin halus ni..."

Dalam Hati Sendiri: "Jangan perasanlah ko saja bulih dapat body lawa dan muka lawa begitu. Masih juga bah sia lebih lawa dari ko."

Cakap Sama Kawan Lain: "Si anu bah... Perasan konon dia makin lawa! Macamlah sia tidak tau apa dia guna. Dia pigi Botox baitu! Dia talan Slimming Pills lagi ah... Manada orang yang dari berjerawat tu muka, body pula macam babi terus tiba-tiba jadi lawa gitu. Fake! Betul-betul Fake! Sia tidak suka body dia. Macam walking skeleton! Ko tinguk tu pipi dia, masuk dalam. Ceh! Bagus kalau bulih manang ratu cantik macam sia. Sia masih lebih lawa dari dia bah!"

Pujian Berduri

Depan Kawan: "Wah Wah Wah! Sia tinguk muka sama badan ko macam berubah sudah ni. Ko pakai botox untuk kasi runcing tu dagu ko kah? Slimming Pills apa ko talan sampai dapat body begini?"

Dalam Hati Sendiri: "Ko fikir ko lawa lah sekarang? Ceh! Masih juga bah sia lebih lawa dari ko."

Cakap Sama Kawan Lain: "Si anu bah... Perasan konon dia makin lawa! Macamlah sia tidak tau apa dia guna. Dia pigi Botox baitu! Dia talan Slimming Pills lagi ah... Manada orang yang dari berjerawat tu muka, body pula macam babi terus tiba-tiba jadi lawa gitu. Fake! Betul-betul Fake! Sia tidak suka body dia. Macam walking skeleton! Ko tinguk tu pipi dia, masuk dalam. Ceh! Bagus kalau bulih manang ratu cantik macam sia. Sia masih lebih lawa dari dia bah!"

Memang lumrah manusia ada yang suka bagi puji-pujian kan? Tapi, ada kalanya orang yang bagi pujian tu sekadar di kulit saja. I'm sure kamu pun ada pengalaman kena gitu punya pujian. I wonder kalau masa menyanyi lagu puji-pujian di Gereja tu, adakah dari hati yang ikhlas atau sekadar menunaikan kewajipan sebab semua orang pun berdiri untuk menyanyi dan memuji Tuhan. Kita kasi general sikit lah kio, adakah anda berdiri tegak sambil menyanyikan lagu Negaraku, Sabah Tanah Airku tu hanya sebab memuji di kulit saja ataupun memang dari hati yang ikhlas? Wakakakakakak!

Kuat Komplen

When you're attending to a dinner, and the tickets are paid by your boss or sponsored by your family members, you pula sana complaint because the foods tidak sedap. Bersyukurlah sebab someone bought for you the tickets.

When someone offered you the dinner tickets, you asked the price, bila you know the cost, price, and menu, you complaint the price MAHAL. Don't complaint, when you know the harga ticket begitu, you know begitu laitu costing for managing an event. Orang bodoh saja yang complaint walaupun dia sudah tahu dan ada experience managing an event. Bersyukurlah because you have that knowledge and information, orang lain tu bukan semua ada tu knowledge, and ada yang minghahali tau semua benda.

When someone invited you to a wedding reception di hall or rumah, you tidak datang because you bilang jauh or 'no class'. Be grateful because ada kana invite. Jangan sampai nanti tidak kena invite lagi then you komplen sebab tu orang lupa kawu sudah. When you attend a wedding, please lah bawa angpau. At least show respect to the families, kalau ko rasa itu bride and groom rapat betul sama ko sampai ko inda perlu malu-malu kestau warna santut ko. *heheheheh... Saja*

When someone tidak invite you to a wedding reception di hotel, or ballroom, or luar negara, jangan terus-terus merajuk lepas tu mengumpat atau komplen. Maybe you previously pernah kena invite but you tidak datang (and tidak kestau pun sama the family), you tidak pernah bagi angpau (at least RM50/pax for hotel/ballroom, pigi google utk mau tau 'market price' orang bagi angpau sekarang supaya tidak kana kasi malu), ko mengumpat di belakang itu families/bride/groom, or the invitation list kena urus by the parents. Remember that itu cost is very high, and space is very limited.

Jangan sebab tiada aramaiti (which you're expecting ada dalam setiap wedding reception), trus komplen the wedding tidak siok... It shows you have no respect towards other people punya religions.

Jangan terlampau kuat komplen, nanti kamu jadi kuat kantut... K.K kan...

Respect is Earned, not Given

When someone passed away, we should pay respect. It's not because that person has more contributions that yours, or achieve higher than you. It's because our religion taught us to respect the life of that person in which one has no power to control. Our 'mohoing/molohing' also taught us to bow down, and pay our last respect to those who 'walk' earlier than us. We cannot actually do anything but put 'off' death, so we ritually acknowledge that we, too, will someday join the dead, Rest in Peace, Respect to my dead Homies, etc.

Article: 11 Types of Popularity

Without further ado, here they are in no particular order. Some types lend themselves to be popular within closed circles and others more broadly.

The Fun Type

You are always fun to be around. You transform any party with your humor, wit and just by being jovial. You are popular and people will miss you in a party. It is never the same. However, if that is the only reason you are popular, they will not miss you outside the party halls.

Tiada Cuti

Bila Malaysia kalah, di sanalah banyak memaki pemain Malaysia.

Bagus jangan kasi umum dulu tu cuti kalau begini mentaliti Malaysians. Kita patut bersyukur Malaysia mampu ke final. Walaupun sekadar mampu berada di tempat kedua, memang tidak dinafikan pasukan kita harus memperbaiki kelemahan mereka. Bayangkan berapa banyak kos yang dibelanjakan untuk melatih pasukan badminton Malaysia untuk sampai ke tahap ini.

Yang kita ni pula, tau mengharap cuti saja. Bila tiada cuti, di sanalah ramai yang mengutuk sebab satu-satunya ayam tambatan terpaksa akur sama Jepun. Tapi, pernahkah kita fikir berapa banyak beza ranking Jepun dan Malaysia tadi? 25 & 66, ingat dekat kaitu ranking BWF? Berabis juga bah dia tu sampai jatuh tertiarap atas gelanggang. Ingat siok kaitu jatuh gitu? Try minta kawan ko tolak ko sampai ko jatuh tertiarap, ko rasa oren sadap stim stim atau sakit pedih pedih macam kana tukul tu tulang? Kita duduk-duduk di sofa saja dan tau lompat-lompat bila pihak lawan kena net or out. Yang tu pemain pula berhempas pulas di gelanggang perlawanan. Ya, sia nampak dan kamu nampak banyak kali kena net. Itu kelemahan dia, tapi bagilah bah tepukan sikit walaupun cuti tiada... By the way, berapa kalori kamu buang dengan sekadar berteriak?

Kalau bising sangat, pigi kasi train tu anak-anak kamurang atau kamurang sendiri pigi train to be next badminton players who will bring back the cup. Kalau you or your anak-anak kalah, korang rasalah apa perasaan yang pemain sekarang terpaksa hadapi bila diorang bermati-matian di gelanggang tapi bila tidak dapat bawa balik Cup, and tiada cuti, terus kana maki-maki di social media, di newspaper, di forum, etc. Punyalah sandi eh~ Fuuuhhh!

Memang siok dapat cuti tambahan tapi siok juga bah ingat balik pa mcm kita berteriak tadi... Berjam-jam juga teriak kan? Berbubut bubut tu point... Hahahahah!!! By the way, betulkah tweet PM pasal cuti sebab tiada dalam twitter PM pasal cuti pun... In other words, memang takda cuti dari awal lagi, sebab itu cuti hanya dibuat-buat oleh pihak tertentu... PM ada masa kah main Twitter? PA dia yang tolong tweet tu...

Foreign Exchange = Forex

Jangan bilang Forex tipu duit kamu. It's either you tak reti main, or you're too tamaha, or ko terlampau pintar sampai simpan Stop Loss untuk minimize kerugian ko (hahahahahah!). Pigi dulu ambil kelas Forex baru main. Bukan sekadar ikut cakap kawan atau baca artikel saja. Dan teda strategy atau software yang boleh menjamin ko akan untung sampai berpuluh-puluh pips!

Yang sioknya main ni barang, pa macam sekalipun ada orang mau kasi buruk ko, income masih masuk dalam poket sebab ini bukan melibatkan you and orang lain, but between you and how you respond to the change of market. Orang cakap ko teda guna kah, sombong kah, mulut tiada insurans kah, harap duit bapak mamak kah, etc. you still earn income. Padulilah sampai muntah darah pun diorang cakap pasal ko, you're going to shine~

If there's someone yang pigi bagitau other people yang you harap duit mak bapak you, just ignore it as long as you takde hutang sama tu manusia. It's a blessing kalau kana bagi Nissan Skyline atau Mitsubishi Evo X from parents (itu kalaulah kana bagi). Apa sahaja yang kena bagi dari parents, itu laitu rezeki ko, mau tolak pemberian dari molohing adalah sama dengan ko kasi luka hati diorang. Selagi bukan ko minta, selagi itu terima saja apa-apa pemberian dari molohing. Just be grateful, bukan banyak 'buts'...

Kaki 'Jual Nama' Orang

Sometimes bikin hairan ada orang yang suka jual nama orang untuk kepentingan diri sendiri. Selalunya di kalangan kawan sendiri dan paling teruk bila orang itu adalah kawan yang kamu selalu bawa untuk pigi makan. Sia bagi situasi, dan kamu nilai sendiri sekiranya kamu berasa dalam situasi tersebut, apa kamu akan lakukan.

Gelaran Teruk

Jangan menggelar orang yang rupanya tidak seberapa cantik itu 'babi', 'wogok', 'kunta kinte', atau orang yang bersaiz besar itu 'gajah', 'wogok', 'gemuk', 'bakas', etc. Remember that God is there, manatau balasan daripada mengejek, mengulu, dan menyindir rupa paras dan bentuk badan adalah to turn you into yang lebih teruk daripada diorang. Yalah, kecantikan dan ke'slim'an itu rezeki dari Tuhan. Kalau sembarangan saja salah guna, satu hari nanti diri sendiri jadi macam tu gelaran yang kamu bagi sama orang lain. 

Contohnya (perlu contoh juga kah?), kawan kamu tu ada masalah jerawat dan kamu pula mengejek kawan kamu (yalah, muka sendiri kan halus mulus) dan tulis di FB atau cakap sama orang lain begini, "Sudahlah muka berjerawat, perasan cantik konon! Cermin lah bah dulu tu muka sendiri!" Trust me, one day God will give her kulit yang cantik dan halus mulus, dan you pula dihiasi dengan jerawat yang susah mau sembuh unless you go minta maaf sama orang yang kamu cakap begitu (mesti dari hati yang ikhlas, kalau tidak, itu jerawat tidak akan sembuh). 

Contoh kedua (perlu juga kah? Hahaha!), kamu tahu kawan kamu tu berbadan besar dan kamu pula berbadan slim atau average sahaja. Janganlah kamurang pigi gelar macam-macam sama orang tu. Macam biasa, Tuhan itu kan adil. Dia cipta ko, dan dia cipta tu kawan juga. Mungkin kawan kamu tidak akan slim, tapi God will make you susah untuk slim pa macam sekali ko berabis sampai terkapus-kapus, atau separuh mati, dan sini sana try workout (Insanity la, HIIT lah, Gym la, Zumba la, Tae Bo la, etc.)... Dan paling teruk, bila ko berabis beli slimming pills or fat burners (sebab ko ternampak kawan-kawan yang lain consume itu barang), ko pula inda pandai slim tapi makin 'Larger Than Life'. Bila semua tidak berkesan sudah, maksudnya kamu kena minta maaf sama orang yang kamu gelar dengan gelaran yang tidak bagus. Mesti dari hati yang ikhlas. 

p.s. Tiada kena mengena dengan mana-mana status yang muncul dalam Timeline sia. Sia buka FB saja turus baca notifications sia saja. Cuma, sia teringat kes dulu-dulu yang heart to heart sama kawan-kawan. Tulunglah bah kawan-kawan kalau diorang ada masalah, dan bukan mengulu'. 

Monday

It’s Monday and I’m in the office just to get all jobs done before sending them off to ‘somewhere’ later. I deal with numbers, and I investigate any discrepancies in ratios, percentage, and record. Forex is just another playground as I view it as a long-term investment; not a ‘get-rich-speedy-fast-scheme’. Economics is just a place for me to get new vision if any suprises might tick me to do SL or TP. The jargons may only be understood by those who are in the same wagon as saya. Blessed Monday.

Life as We Know It

Love is what binds us, respect is what unites us. To have love and respect for all life forms guarantees you an excellent quality of life because you will be walking around in sheer reverence to all you come across. There will never be a dull or uninspired moment.

In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done. Some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads. But they all make us who we are, and in the end they shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them, we wouldn’t be the person we are. So, just live, make mistakes, have wonderful memories, but never ever second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly where it is you’re going.

We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say goodbye just one last time. We never can because the sands of time continue to fall and we cannot turn the hourglass over.

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that & living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You’ve to love & feel. It’s the reason you’re here on Earth. You’re here to risk your heart, to be swallowed up & when it happens that you’re broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree & listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

Alegram a cidade de Deus, 

O santuário do altíssimo.

Onde o Rei está 

Assentado a destra do Pai 

Poderoso pra derramar 

Águas que saram 

Águas que lavam 

Águas que refrigeram 

Águas que quebram maldições 

Águas que moldam 

Águas que purificam 

Águas que santificam 

Água de paz

This one is translated from Portuguese into English. I’m not really sure if it’s accurately translated but the lyrics sounds a bit like this lah… Correct me if I mistakenly translated it as I used Google Translate bah. One of my favourite Christian song.

There’s a river

Fernanda Brum

There’s a river whose waters

Cheers the city of God

The sanctuary of the highest one

Where the King 

Is seated on the right of powerful Father 

For the spill of 

Waters that heal 

Waters that wash 

Waters that refrigerated 

Waters that break curses 

Waters that mold 

Waters that purify 

Waters that sanctify 

Water of peace
