Random Thoughts of a Lioness

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

Midweek ramblings

According to my ticker, I have another 81 days to go before Lil Cub comes over. Then why do I feel like staying at home already? I am soooooo lazy to wake up in the morning and get ready for work!

Life is rather hectic lately. With the projects in the office (which Milk wants us to at least get 90% completed before I go off!) and running around as per usual over the weekend..I am left with very little time to myself. Was hoping I could have some quiet 'baby and me' time over last weekend. But since Jack decided to fit in the cabinet on Friday, the weekend meant cleaning up. *But the room looks sooooo nice and ready for a child now!* And eventhough we had Sunday to ourselves, Buster decided to continue his Alias marathon while I tried hard not to nod off! I am such a light sleeper lately that I often wake up at night not knowing how to fall asleep again! Especially with Buster dearest's symphony playing by the side. If only I'm on leave everyday I would prolly stay awake at night and sleep the day away! * Or maybe, all I need is a pair of ear plugs...hahahaha!* Oh, can someone please tell me what to do with the extreme itchiness I am suffering due to my skin stretching??!!

Okay..deep breaths.

T is graduating on Monday. That little brother of mine had the best surprise in his life when he found out he graduated top of his class. His gf Widdy was browsing the internet when the results were posted..and there it was:

SARJANA MUDA UNDANG-UNDANG (KEPUJIAN)
--------------- IJAZAH KELAS PERTAMA ----------------------------

1. xxxxx BIN xxxxx **


Of course la kan, it was the best holiday present for my parents as well. He broke the news just moments before they boarded the plane to Morrocco. We are all so proud of him. It is a HUGE achievement for someone who almost gave up due to parental pressure during high school (he was always compared to Abang and I) to the best student in his college. *tearing up*. Good ol' T.

Buster was making fun of me saying that the news made me the only child who didn't graduate with a First Class Honours in my family! *Yeah..yeah..as if I need reminding of that fact.*

Well, better go get that day off from the boss. I sure don't wanna miss T's graduation..plus, it has been a while since we all have dinner as a family. This calls for a celebration!

There He Goes..There He Goes Again..

Buster is leaving again tomorrow. For a week, but this time for pleasure.

He and his buddies go for an all-boys-annual trip once a year, and this year it is Phuket. Am soooo jealous since I had to forgo my Phuket all-girls trip earlier, and with my changing hormones, cramps and all..I am not exactkly jumping with joy with the idea. *Although on the other hand, I am loooving the idea of having the bed to myself for a week..hahahaha!*

Some of the other partners are not so supportive though. One actually 'fire-stoned' me to not let Buster go:

" How inconsiderate is he to leave you in this condition to have fun? "
" Do you know what is in Phuket? The strippers, the bars - and you're gonna let him go? "
" What kind of example are you letting him set for the baby? "


She even openly scolded Buster in front of her hubby with the hope that it'll work. Hehehe, silly me just said - well, I need the privacy for a week. I don't think she likes me so much now. *LOL* Well, as long as Buster behaves..

Am definitely going back to Terengganu this long weekend. At least I get some pampering from Mama, Aboh and Wan.

Ooops, my driver for the day is already giving me the looks. Tomorrow then!

Lil Cub Updates

Buster felt Lil Cub kicked for the first time. He was excited and started talking bubble talk through the tummy *sheesh*. But it is kinda nice because all these while it was just me who can feel him.

T thinks Lil Cub will be a good footballer, with him kicking his mom all the time nowadays. But then again, my brother also wants Lil Cub to learn how to play the guitar. Hmmm..guitar + football.

Kekgi jadi Mat Rock dok lama baru tahu.

Lil Cub is developing well. The last time we went for a scan, we could already see his chubby cheeks. Oh, and him sucking his thumb. Not a very good habit..Buster says that he doesn't think we can afford braces for him later. Lil Cub is also 2 weeks ahead in size than his supposed age (which makes me almost 10 kgs heavier now than my pre-pregnancy weight!). I got quite an earful from the doctor.

Cut down on milk.
No more late night suppers.
You've been eating too much haven't you?
We don't want you to have a tough first experience.

NOOOOO!!!!

EllyB assures me it'll be ok. And looking at her and Baby M, I think she's right.
