Exhausted Friday

Yesterday was a painful one. Reason, I was located in my office for 12 hours. Yes, working overtime. It was the first time I required to work late since I rolled off from previous project which is 2 months ago. Officially, everyday I go to work, mentally rest. Not until yesterday, both phisically and mentally need to work.

I started to find out that my new laptop gives me a lot of burden on shoulder. Everyday I surely need to walk a certain distance from Tower2 to Hann's pick up point. So, with my new laptop, I get out from office, took lift to level 41 and change another lift before I can get myself down to ground floor. I went in Isetan, took escalator to level 3, headed to Sun Moulin bakery to get myself a bite as I knew it will definitely take some time for Hann to reach here. Then I walked down to Ground floor while bitting cream cheese bread. Found a bench to make myself easy. There after 10 minutes of waiting, I saw a familiar small car, I got up, opened the glass door and jump into the small car. I reached home at 2200 with empty stomach and exhausted body. Yes, you can see that I put the blame to the new laptop that causing me tired, shoulder-ache as I already have an extra weight to carry which is my little one. When I get everything done, ready to go to bed and started to lie down... I just can't help but make out some noise to show my tiredness. Then I started to understand that when a baby is crying for nothing, I guess baby is tired and definitely need someone to comfort immediately. Though I personally think that comforting is not really works but best still someone willing to comfort, console and ease you.

From Old to New

I've made an appointment early this week to make replacement of my existing company laptop. I'm the kind of person practice 'last minute', where I only busy backup-ing my personal stuff into external hard drive before I sleep. While doing some background reading in order to help out for some proposal later this week.

Something weird happened. My HP can't log-on to internet connection at home. I've to use Hann's laptop to download some mails. Later on, I was trying to open my time report application. The application prompt some error message saying I need to locate a database to open the application... And this morning, I'm connecting to wireless network and there it goes, available wireless network is no longer available for me.

Well, I'm not a well debugger nor passionate in debugging error. I left it be what it gonna be. As I've got my NEW laptop now. Everything doesn't work fine now running fine in Lenovo now. I just don't care. Even the technician said, "Sometimes it just gila." I should say, it's time to bid goodbye to HP and say hi to Lenovo.

Pregnancy at 30th Week

I'm in my 30th week of pregnancy now. Preparation for both little one and me yet started. At this stage, I should have all necessities bought, well packed and ready to hospital in case of emergency. Seriously, I've to list down things to buy and settle it by this weekend. As it getting closer to the EDD, the slower i walk and feel tired easily. And Hann always leaves me far behind in the shopping mall. There is once, I've to look around for benches in the shopping mall so that I can rest before continue to do shopping. Poor lady.

Things to buy:
for me,
Nursing bra
Breast pad
Maternity panties
Maternity pads
At-home-slipper

for baby,
Wearable blanket
Baby wipes
Going-home outfit
Baby towels


The list above are items to be packed and prepared during hospital stay not to mention baby crib and mattress, stroller, carrier, car seat, food warmer, changing table, baby daily outfits, baby shower gel, nappy clean, laundry/cloth basket, changing mat... There are more to list aka more money to burn.

Well, it's time to read more on pregnancy matter other than extract from magazine. I do read both book and online resources recently. Cost wise, I read but not buy. To eliminate the fear during labour, no choice but I've to equip myself with much information as I could. Since I'm not assign to any project at the moment, it's best to browse bookstore after lunch. Kinokuniya is where I heading to after lunch. However, all books are sealed. I gonna approach the staff to unseal it. However, the more I get to read, the more anxiety I am. Especially when it mentions perineal tears which could happen or it's likely to happen in delivering the first baby through vagina birth. Be it tears or episiotomy, gosh it really scare me off!! I can feel the pain now :( SOS!

At Home on Sunday

I have ran out of idea what to eat out during weekend. Thus, i decided to cook on Sunday afternoon. I brought some ingredients at wet market nearby. At the exit/entrance, someone approached if we want to buy durian. I actually saw the mini van with boot full of durian for sales. I followed the way to the mini van and decided to buy some. The seller offered RM13/kgs. I wanted 2 but they forced to take 3. Ok, 3. Then the seller weighted the durian, it's 6.6kg in total, 3 durian costs RM85.80 and i started to open my wallet and realized that I've only RM76 left in. I wasn't sure how the durian seller feels but I did feel funny where he grabbed all my leftover money without asking me to compensate the rest of amount later...So, I got the deal at RM11.50/kg not a bad deal but still it's expensive for 3 durians and it tasted as Jusco 3 packets for RM20 kind of durian.

Well, we'll have our durian lunch today. However, Hann started to complaint that he is very hungry! The lotus root soup is boiling at the first hour only! It gonna takes another 2 hours to cook. This is the first time I prepared soup for Hann. He is always a soup lover. His comment of my soup is too much red dates. Well, I've nothing to say as I'm satisfied with the first-time soup that I made. It just tasted exactly like what my mum used to feed us. Other than lotus root soup, I prepared egg plant stir fry with dried shrimp and stir fry grated sengkuang (jicama) and carrot. Surprisingly, the eggplant received good comment from Hann :P

It was a good cooking experience and I wish to cook more in future. Gonna steal some recipes from mama when back to hometown. Btw, it was my mama 60th birthday on 19th April.

Wish you healthy and happy always. Love you.
