Our dinner at Simpang Bedok. Well, actually it's suppose to be dinner celebration for Ijat's and Wifey's Burfday. But M.I.L was not feeling well and got to be under observation in SGH. So, we took the opportunity to have dinner at Simpang Bedok to celebrate without M.I.L. Nothing much, but, well, it's the only chance that we have dinner together... Anyway, we got to celebrate too as Farhan is going to serve his National Service in the army this Friday. I'll take pictures from Tekong. Wanna see? Beg me...

Lirik - Puteri - Zainal Abidin

Harum semerbak kasturi indah mewangi

Cantik rupa parasnya puteri di sinar maya

Cinta bukannya semata yang ku perlu zahirmu

Hey... yeah... yeah...Puteri... ohh...

Kini kau tiada lagi tinggallah aku sendiri

Rindu di hati ku ini tak dapat aku sembunyi

Entah bila kan kembali

Setelah kau pergi oh...

Puteri... malam ku dingin tiada pujuk rayumu

Kembalilah... ku kehilangan tawa mesramu itu

Ohh puteri... malam ku dingin aku kehilanganmu

Kembalilah... mengertilah oh kekasihku

Ohh... puteri ku

Dengarkanlah rayuan (hati)

Tak sanggup aku kehilanganmu

Di dalam jaga aku keliru

Ohh... mengertilah

Kembalilah

Malam ku dingin tiada pujuk rayumu

Puteriku...Ku kehilangan tawa mesramu itu

Kembalilah...Malam ku dingin aku kehilanganmu

Kekasihku... mengertilah oh kekasihku... ohh...
Kekasihku... kembalilah...

A Moment in Time, When Shopping is....

... Exciting. I always thought that shopping is just a sheer of wasting money. Hard earn money that could go apart from my bank account. I know lah that my bank account is not that much for me to retire early. I know also that shopping once in awile doesn't make a shopperholic, but, I still am not happy to part from my hard earn money, just to buy unnecessary things.

However, on that fateful evening, I parted with my money. Well, the things that I bought is more than satisfy me. In fact, it actually makes me excited and can't wait to see the result of an impulsive buyer.

It all began yesterday afternoon. Its my off day. I spent my off day like how I spent it when wifey is not at home. Internet. I surf for nursery rhymes.... Songs that's cute enuff for NR's (my junior's name) to act as his/her background music. Hmmm.... Till now, I couldnt found any song that would fit his/her personality (actually my and wifey's personality - and Afadh, u still owe me the CD).

Then, I fetch mummy-in-law from werk and straight to fetch wifey. We reached wifey's werk place at around 1505 hrs. From there, we went to Robinson @ Centrepoint. Actually, our main itineries is just to find bed sheet for Hallie's wedding. Both of us are the official wedding coordinator. Theme : Olive Green/Beige! Garden wedding...

We searched for the appropriate bedsheet at almost major departmental store. Nope. We didnt saw one that fit Hallie's taste (actually its ours). So, we went to Robinson again after walking the whole stretch of Orchard Rd. Carefully, we scrutinize for one that is simple and sweet. Then, we spotted one that fits our criteria. In fact it fits so much that it could go directly into my wallet - if you know what I mean. We found one that is simple, but we decide to add on trimmings or stones that could make it look more bridal.

Phew! That was it. I was so satisfied with what I've gotten. Imagine, you, being a guy, shop for bedsheets. Its ridiculous. But once u got it, its sparks all over you. Beaming with smile, I walked out of the store.

Nope! That was not what I was about to describe to you. It was something else. I could never be satisfy over some trivial matter. Yup, sis is getting married, but that doesn't call for celebration. It has got to do something bout me, right? You should know better!

Let me continue...

After queueing for half an hour to pay for the bedsheet, we walked down, preparing to leave Centrepoint.4th floor down to 3rd floor, then, something caught mummy-in-law's and my eyes... The one particular shop that we have been pushing wifey to go in. One particular shop that I dun mind spending money on...

Maternity wear....

Wifey insisted on not going in. Mummy and me pushed... and in the end, we won. We bought 4 shirts and 2 pants. You know wat? This is Our first maternity wear. I've been bugging her to buy a few, couple of times. You see, her tummy is already showing and shouting " I'm Pregnant! Give up your seat please!!!". And yet, she, without any guilt, keep on wearing the same jeans and blouse. Already told her many times that her buttons are exploding. But again, she has no shame.... hehehhe!

Nevertheless, I am happy and excited that she bought it.

She wore one just now when we have dinner outside. Gosh! She looks so sexy (I have the kinks for pretty pregnant lady) and beautiful. No, .... I am not saying that just because she is my wife, nor am I saying it cos I have the kinks for pretty (pregnant) lady, but I say it from the deepest bottom of my heart, and I mean it.

Just now, for once, I am proud to call myself - daddy...

The Apple of My Eyes....

Finally, we are reaching the halfway mark of our pregnancy. How fast time flies, pass by us, caught us unaware that the 4th month mark is already here! In my religion, it has been said that on reaching the 120 days mark, or 4th month, the soul will be united with the spirit. This is the mark whereby abortion is forbidden. Not that they encourage abortion, in actual fact, abortion is never encouraged in any religion altogether! Its just that this is the moment when the baby started to develop feelings, thoughts and love.

Wifey started to feel some magical movements. Different from her previous encounter. This time round, she says that she can feel that the baby is actually naking his/her rounds, rediscovering new entities. Anyway, in paying tribute and welcoming my baby with his/her new life/rights, I dedicate a new site for him/her to pour his/her feelings. All of you are most welcome to pop in and change his/her diaper...


You will always be my Baby.... ... ...

* ... 15th Week ... *

Another week passed. Been too much of a turmoil having to getting use acknowledging that my wifey is pregnant. Things are moving in very fast. With a wink of my eyes, wifey is now on her 15th week. Let's see what junior is up to this week....

Hair is big news this week! Our baby is growing lots of it, not only on his head and brows but all over his body. This is covered in an ultrafine down, called lanugo, which usually disappears before birth. Its purpose is to protect the baby's skin from the liquid. Some muscles are starting to work too. This week our baby can grasp, squint, frown, grimace and even suck his thumb. Researchers believe these and other movements probably correspond to the development of impulses in the brain. This week, junior's body is growing faster that his head and thus, u can see that is why baby's body:head ratio is more proportionate.

As for wifey, she's probably feeling brighter and livelier than in the first three months and have put the early symptoms of pregnancy firmly behind her. Some unlucky women do find that the nausea drags on. Most women find the second three months the easiest stage of pregnancy when sleep is sounder and the bump isn't too big to impede their movements. Glad that wifey has lesser tint of nausea and are eating well. Though I might say that her stomach seems like a 5mth old pregnant lady...

To : My little one...

Dearest little one,

I have been waiting for you to appear in my life for quite sometime now. I know that it would be awhile more before I can see you in person. To hold and kiss you while you are in my arms and to make you my little prince or princess.

I actually know you are coming to my life, knock my door and disturb my beauty sleep, few weeks before your mum and me confirm it with the test kit. Waiting for the moment of truth is like an eternity for me. Your mum and me are really excited and at the same time scared that its gonna be another false alarm. We were like shoving the test kit to each other, to read the result.

When I gathered enough courage and after telling your mum to be prepared for the worst, I flip the test kit. Seeing the result amazed me. I've never imagined that wat I saw on that day will bring me tears of joy. The warm feeling just envelopes me. I am sure it does the same thing to your mum too. We saw another strip that indicated your mum is pregnant. I swear that I almost shouted at the top of my voice. I swear that I almost skip and dance. I swear that I really wanna fall to the ground and cry. But, at the same time, I do not wanna put high hopes on this, as I know that the first three months are the most crucial period.

I do not want yourt mum to feel the pressure while you are in her. I do not want to force nor do I want to put too much hopes to your mother. My little one... Your mother have gone through too many heart broken tales. If only you were there to see the tears that accompany her to bed. If only you could feel the pain that she has gone through. If only you could hear words that others cast upon her... All this pain are cast aside and YOU are our BIG, little priority.

Baby... I know that I may not be the best father that you could have. I know that I might not be able to guide you in my life. But I know for sure that should u enter my life, I would give up the world for you. I would want to be by your side always. These are no empty promises.

Tears are rolling off my cheeks imagining you in my arms now. I dun care if anybody would say taht I am just putting high hopes for you, cos, I know that the hopes I'm putting on, are for real.

Baby... Just stay strong in there. Hold on tight through this rough journey. Be strong and grow well. I know you are lonely in there. No one to talk to or play with. But I bet you could hear our voices. Soothing you to sleep. My pats and rubs. Your mum are having a hard time swollowing multi-vites. Its hard to swollow, but for you, our darling, everything is possible.

I shall take my leave now and speak to you again soon. If you are lonely, just give a tuck and mummy will be there to coax you to relax, and take it easy. As for daddy,.... .... .. You'll always be in my heart.


Your Loving Dad,
Nazri

Action, Smile.... Click*!

You are caught in the act, baby...
Or at least I thought he/she was. But it turn out to be some other parts of him/her. Well, me and wifey went for wifey's gynae appointment yesterday, 12.05.05. She was from her night shift. I arrived in SGH at 0830 hrs.

We had our breakfast before the appointment. Hers, healthy set, comprises of kaya toast, tea and a slice of fruit. Mine, Set B, kaya toast, coffee and 2 half boiled eggs. I am actually excited from the day before. Well, if u had read my previous post, I had told you how disappointed and frustrated I was, when my wifey got to meet our junior, while me, stuck at work.

Nevertheless, we were early for our 10.45 appointment. So, we took our time eating and chatting. An hour later, we decided to proceed to the Gynae centre and get ourselves registered, hoping to end our misery of waiting.

We landed ourselves in room 27. Our first room for the day. The room that I've been waiting for for the past 3 weeks. "ULTRASOUND".

The room was cold, or so I thought. My heart pulsating fast. The technician set up her stuffs, Action, camera ready.... *click*.... Whoa...whoa... wats there to see? Noises on the screen.... Wat? where? .. and then, the moment of truth. When everything has sunk in into my head,I can see the outline of my baby... sob, sob... This woman is carrying my baby....? Is it for real? The question is playing in my head over and over again. And everything is so clear, I can see that my baby is sucking on his/her thumb... so sweet...

When the technician nudged her/him, my baby wriggles its way and I can see him/her punching and kicking. Hehehehe.... The scene is so cute and sweet. Any fatehr can vouch for that!

It has really been a wonderful experience, looking at my own baby, knowing that my baby is healthy, alive and kicking... Hahahah.... I really cant wait for the next appointment. There is always something new for me to look forward to.

Let's see if u will have the similar feeling when it comes to yours... Then tell me how u feeeeeelllll.... *

... The 14th Week...

Phew...! Past the crucial period of the first trimester. Now, we're on the 14th week of pregnancy. I really feel great and thankful to God that nothing happen in the first trimester. Let me tell you wats happening for this week...

Our fetus is now about 7 to 10 centimetres long from crown to rump and weighs about 28 grams — or about half a banana. Its unique fingerprints are already in place, and when you poke your stomach gently and she feels it, the baby will start rooting (menggeliat).

If we're having a girl, she now has approximately 2 million eggs in her ovaries; she will have only a million by the time she's born. She'll have fewer eggs as she gets older, and by age 17, the number will have dropped to 200,000. No, guys. She can't be impregnated and the chances of she's getting pregnant, is close to none!

If it's a boy (grin), the prostate gland develops. Our fetus thyroid gland has matured and our baby begins producing hormones which will be used throughout his or her life. Our little one may have learned to suck his thumb by this point!

Our child's bones are getting harder and stronger by the day, but his or her skin is very transparent still and Lanugo (very fine hair) covers the baby's body and will continue to grow until 26 weeks gestational age - Generally this will be shed prior to birth. Its purpose is to help protect baby's skin while in all that water!

As for wifey, the fog may be lifting, so to speak. For many women, the side effects of early pregnancy — frequent urination, intense fatigue, nausea — diminish sometime in the second trimester. Her uterus, while large enough to announce to onlookers that she's indeed pregnant, isn't so huge that it gets in her way. Even though birth is months away, the breasts may already start making colostrum. Hmmm.... ok... Colostrum is the fluid that mothers produces few days after labour. It is high in anti-biotic that actually helps the baby to fight most harmful viruses or germs.

Finding out that I am going to be a father can be an exciting and confusing time. I've often asked myself this questions,

> How will having a baby change my life?
> How will I pay for all the things our baby will need?
> How can I be a good dad?
> What can I do to help during pregnancy?

Guess, the only thing that I can do is to get involved. I'll try to be at her preconception and prenatal visits. Read and asked around for tips from friends and families aldo do help a bit. Well, at this point, I dun think I will paln on wat to buy or go shopping for baby things. Least I can do now is to help wifey to stay healthy during pregnancy. Help her eat healthy foods, exercise and avoid dangerous workplace and household hazards (such as paint thinner and weed killers).

Its really not easy u know.... Really.

... dan akhirnya...

Tak faham lah perihal manusia nie. Ada ajer yang diaorang tak puas. Mesti nak cari lagi satu lepas dapat sesuatu perkara. Kenaper eh, manusia nie tamak haloba? Tak leh ke kite berpuas ati ngan apa yang kiter ada? Bersyukurlah dengan apa yang kiter ada. Tak yah nak susah2kan diri cari lebih dengan aper yang kite termampu. Nanti akhirnyer, menyusahkan diri sendiri.

Semalam masa aku kerja, ada satu case yang membuatkan aku malu untuk mengaku aku nie orang Melayu. Insiden nie, membuat aku celik. Aku ngaku orang "M" nie, Malas. Dah lah perkataan tu sendiri datang dari perkataan "Layu", takkan orang2nyer pun semua nak layu sampai tak leh nak maju?

Kalau nama dah ber"bin"kan atau ber"binte"kan sifulan, kenaper kiter sebagai orang Melayu yang beragama Islam, tak mampu untuk menepis segala sifat tamak? Adakah Sifat ini sudah sedia ada dalam orang2 Melayu kite? Tak salah kalau aku katakan sifat ini bergandingan dengan sifat cemburu. Lagi satu sifat yang tak dapat dibendung dari orang2 Melayu.

Hmmm.... cubalah kiter renungkan. Tak ke pernah kiter sebagai manusia ingin menjaukan sifat dengki iri hati. Aku tau lah, ada sesetengah orang tu solat tak pernah putus, tapi sifat begini tak sepatutnyer diamalkan.

Hai, kalau sifat macam ginilah orang kite nak bangga2kan, aku rasa, tak akan maju lah bangsa kiter. Dah lah kena tindas. Nie orang sendiri pun nak cucuk blakang? Maner ada jalan dok.....

Nie lah buddy aku.... kecian dier. Ari tu kan, aku mintak dier tolong aku buat wiring kat umah baru aku. Aku baru alik kejer malam ah. Penat siak aku. Tapi apa leh uat, keja mlm per. kalau aku tak uat umah aku, saper lagi nak uat.... tapi, saper nie yang penat?

Dah tiga belas minggu. Cepat kan? Tak sangka seh masa berlalu dengan begitu cepat. Apa agaknye baby aku ngah buat sekarang? Klakar kan. Cuba korang imagine... tiba2 jer korang tumbuh jari. kepala korang yang besar tiba tiba jer jadi kecik. Dunia korang gelap. Tapi korang tak dapat rasa satu benda pun. Kecian ngan baby aku. Dahlah sorang2 kat dlama perut, dah tu semua anggota badan dier tukar2.

Dah dekat seratus ari baby aku nie. Dalam Quran tulis, roh akan ditiupkan pada janin. Masa tulah aku rasa baby dapat dengar semuanyer... macam maner agaknyer muka baby aku. Setahu aku kan, sekarang, muka dier dah macam manusia, walaupun cuma berukuran 3 inchi dan seberat 14 gram.Korang nak tau? Sekarang matanyer dah terletak di hadapan kepalanyer. Dan Pundi kencingnyer dah mula untuk berfungsi...

Baby aku kan, dah mula bergerak2. 2 malam lepas, aku ngan wifey aku gi Maulid Nabi. Masa qari ngah baca ayat suci Al-Quran, kan, wifey aku kata, dia rasa ada lectrik pulse kat perut dier... heheheh... agaknyer baby aku gerak ah tu dengarkan... Dah tu, time solat, wifey aku kata dier rasa the same electric pulse... Hehehe... cute kan. Agaknyer dier pun nak ikut solat. Tah2, dier nhgah menggeliat macam babah dier.
Orang tua2 kata, kalau budah menggeliat, cepat besar... (tapi aku tak caye. Aku pun kuat menggeliat jugak, tapi masih kiut jek. Orang2 tua nie kaki penipu ah)

Hmmm... aku rase kan, kalau baby aku kluar, aku nak tarik kaki ngan tangan dier, jadi bley tinggi sikit. Kalau nak ikut babah nagn mama dier, pakai nampak, makin kiut le kite sekeluarga. Tapi tak pe jugak, kalau ikut babah dier kan, umur dah nak masuk tiga posen pun org ingat dier masih early 20's tak gerek tu dok? Maner nak dapat ini macam punye jamu ke susuk? Silap2 ari bulan, babah ngan baby, nanti orang ingat braders.... Hehehe... untungnyer babah.... "Mama. Pakai nampak bley pasang dua ah..." heheheh! Yahoo!!!!!!!

This is a view from part of my hall... The platform and flooring will be need to be laminated and yet to be done. I'll post to u again once everything are all done....
