Never been kissed…

is a classic. But it has got nothing to do with this entry. I just realized today that Jessica Alba is in it, and urgh she looked so sorority kind of gal. Euuuwww…

I’ve flown safely to Miri and now I’m back in Brunei. It’s been hectic since I’ve got some errands to run and trying to fit in nursing in between. Will need to prepare for my return to the office and I’m having a big supply crisis. Hopefully I can try to rectify it this week, then I’m good to go (to work that is). Anyway, flying with Hilmy is a challenge, even if he sleeps most of the time. And having tonnes of stuff with me is not helping either. But alhamdulillah, all is well. I’m blessed.

The DVD player decided to not work on me. After 3 months of waiting to have tv series marathons (yes, several series), I guess I have to put the plan on the shelf (yet again.) Last Sunday, we watched Night at the Museum 2 (though we haven’t finished). Then the DVD player decided to go kaput (sp?) so now I’ll just have to wait till Duan’s back so we can get it fixed. So now I’ve been entertained by E! most of the time. I wonder when will they air the new episode of Keeping Up with Kardashians. They all look so fake but I like to watch the show anyway. Damn reality tv! I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here – aahhhh, I wanna watch that!

I think I’m Paranoid

Hilmy turns 2 months today, can’t believe I’ve been home for almost 3 months and stayed at home for the most part. We will take our first trip back to Brunei this Saturday. I’m really worried about H1N1 especially when all cases in Malaysia made a trip to the airport when they arrived. Bela had warned me to make sure I wash my hands regularly. I will avoid making physical contact with anyone unless I really have to. If I ever did, then will go straight to the restroom to wash my hands. Sounds like I’m paranoid, ah well I’m with a baby, I have to!

I found out last Saturday that Adam Lambert has “came out.” Then saw an excerpt of his interview, he said that he felt weird “coming out” cause he was never “in.” I think that’s kinda funny. Ah well, people never ask, so he never say anything… I think it’s kinda obvious anyways…

———-
I made a short trip to Subang Parade to buy the necessities with Bela on Monday. It was such a quick shopping trip of buying stuff according to list only. But I manage to grab one cargo pants… LOL! I do not consider myself a shopaholic but tell you what, retail therapy is always good. As an award to ourselves for being so good at doing a quick shop, we each grab a double scoop of Baskin Robin. Haih, camne nak kurus ni?

So bye bye KL and welcome Borneo. Will be back in September for Eid insyaAllah. This will be my longest run in Borneo without going back, hope it’ll all be okay. Please laa jgn homesick .

A short update

I have an overdue entry… I don’t know when I’ll finish it, so I skip that and continue with a new one because I feel like it.

———-

I know this story dah basi.  I’m glad that Kris Allen won American Idol.  Sorry, but I think Adam is too gay to win (whatever that means).  I watched the finale and it was awesome!  Look at all those line-ups!  Made me wonder if the economy is that bad that these people are not going round on tours. hehehe.

I’m now a mother.  It is still surreal.  I thought taking care of a newborn is a piece of cake, I’m dead wrong!  It is hard work and I’m sleep deprived. LOL!  Not gonna talk much about motherhood now, but if I were to turn back time to when I was still pregnant, I’ll do more homework.  I’ll read more about taking care of newborn and breastfeeding.  Ah right, I thought breastfeeding was a piece of cake.  Come on, people has been doing it for thousands of years… And many many years ago, there is no books or anything to refer to.  I remember, my grandma once told me, “Anak2 aku semuanya minum susu badan ni, dulu mana ada formula.”  And she’s done it for a dozen time, why can’t I?  But yes I can, after a lot of reading and self-motivation.  But I’ll be back at work in a few weeks time, what happen then, only God knows.

Ah, and if any working mothers reading this, how can I make pumping less painful.  I hate and dread doing it!

Mengular!  Since Hilmy was born, the most trip I make is to the hospital for check-ups and sickness.  Duan perasan sorang mak guard ni pas aku bersalin yang memang kuat sgt laa mengular.  Everytime Duan gi memana, mesti nampak mak guard ni sembang ngan best nya dgn org lain2.  Yang kelakarnya, everytime kitorg gi hospital balik, mesti nampak mak guard ni berlegar2 or sembang2 juga, bila ntah dia wat keje dia (obviously, she’s got nothing better to do).  Skali ni aku nak discharge Hilmy (masa Hilmy kena admitted sb demam on his 3rd week of life), dia ada plak kat Tingkat bawah, bukankah dia keje kat Tingkat 2?  Bley je dia berlegar2… Anyway, since then, whenever we go to the hospital, we never fail to find her doing everything else except for guarding, I suppose… Ok I know it’s not funny, but to us, it is!

I’m going back to the island of Borneo in less than 2 weeks.  I don’t know if I’m looking forward to it or not.  I kinda excited because I miss the leisure of our own place. But being away from my parents and friends (albeit not going anywhere for fun for almost 2 months) is a big turn off.  I guess it’s really the psychological effect, although you’re not seeing your friends, the short distance between you and them make things so much better.  Plus, I’ll miss the leisure of good food (of my mom’s cooking) and the variety of outside food around here.  For instance, I have never been able to find good mangoes in Brunei or Miri.  Even stuff as simple as fresh taugeh is hard to find… *sigh*

Anyhoo, this is no longer a short update, so I shall go back to digging the fridge for some good food.  And yes, I need to lose weight, BIG TIME!
