Random Thoughts of a Lioness

The reward of conformity was that everyone liked you, except yourself.

Ramblings...again.

My parents left on Sunday since Buster managed to get an earlier flight home. Mama was actually teary-eyed to leave T in KL for good. I think she is still coming to terms with the idea of her youngest chick leaving the nest. With Mama and Aboh gone, there are no more breakfast in the morning or food waiting on the table when we come back. I guess I did take their presence for granted a little. Now I wish they are here more often. * I can hear Buster in the background saying - Be careful what you wish for! Hahahaha..*

Since T is still car pooling with Buster, my dearest husband is no longer bored in the car. Eversince we found that that we're expecting, Buster has been sending me to work every morning. And me being the sleep machine I am lately, would doze off the whole way! Poor Buster has to think, sing and say eveything aloud to keep himself awake! *grins* But the only thing about this whole car pooling business is that T has no excuse but to follow us whenever we need to drop by in Daddy's or some other places. Since he hasn't said anything, I take it as he is ok with it for the time being. He plans to move out this weekend...although I am secretly hoping that he'll stay with us slightly longer. The apartment can get rather lonely after you are used to having people around.

Oooh, this was given to me earlier.

Short updates

1. Buster is away again, this time to yet another indochina country.

Good news : It'll only be for 10 days this time.

Better news : He got me my V-Day gift from there. His only hint was it'll match most of my bajus (not that I can fit into them soon! Muahahaha).

Not-so-good news : He has to go again in April and September *sigh*


2. My long awaited beach trip to Phuket is finally here.

Good news : The hotel looks really nice, and cheap to boot.

Better news : My boss approved my leave.

Not-so-good news : Am down with a cough, and all the forces (ie Buster, Mama, Aboh, Daddy, doctors) are not in favour of me going. Without their blessing, looks like I need to give up my seat.. *Huwaaaaaa!!!*


Consolation news : Buster feels so guilty about me missing my holiday that he might bring me with him in April. Woohoo!! *fingers crossed*

3. T starts working today

Good news : He is back in KL. I actually missed him.

Better news : He'll be driving me to the train station until Buster comes back. In addition to being an errand boy to his so-called pampered at the moment sister.

Not-so-good news : His furniture is coming in on Saturday. He'll be moving for good next weekend. *sob!*


4. One of my girlfriends is currently in a relationship

Good news : She is sooo happy.

Better news : He is a nice guy. Oh, and did I say, she is soooooo happy?

Not-so-good news : What bad news?!


5. More and more people in the office caught wind of my 'state'

Good news : I am often visited with happy people congratulating, useful tips, food (yes, food!) and offers of lunch.]

Not-so-good news : I am also visited with numerous ridiculous tips and scary stories of childbirth. Err..hello..I can do without those for a while.

The storks came visiting..

For the past few months, I kept asking myself how happy I really was. At times, life feels rather empty. It is like I am just going through the motions. Going to work before the sun goes up, come home after it sets, dinner, tv or books and sleep. And the cycle repeats itself..day by day..week by week..month by month. For a couple that have been together for almost 8 years, familiarity can be such a bummer sometimes. Elements of surprise can be verrry long in between.

Life is slowly becoming so routine..so predictable..so.. BORING.

Until a miracle came our way. A routine check-up with Dr Siti turned out to be a wonderful surprise. In between of doing a pap smear and looking at potential dead cells problem, she noticed a small water bag. She chased us off to the lab, and lo and behold..this lioness is now with a bun in the oven. Scared as I am, I can't think of a better time for Allah to grant us this gift.

Alhamdulillah. Wish this future mommy good luck, people.
