Expecting Mother To Travel By Air

We all know that expecting mother are allowed to travel by air up to 35 weeks of pregnancy. At least, that is the regulation set by the airlines.

MAS is no different. Even AirAsia has a requirement that I need to fill up a certain form even though I am only about 5 months plus to 6 months.

Now, as I hit 28 weeks, the regulations gets tighter. Not only do I need a letter from my gynae dr that I am able to travel by air, I need to seek clearance from the embassy of the country that I am about to enter, else I will face deportation.

I am scheduled to travel to Singapore next week (atas arahan boss la ni... ) so, I did all I need to do before flying off. Thank goodness I will be there only for 3 days 2 nights.

The only thing left is going through the document, which I planned to do today and the following days ahead.

I wonder what does it feels like travelling by air when I am 7 months pregnant? Must be a challenging experience without my syg for few days ....

Wishing Things Had Been Different

I had some history with my ex-boss.

Nothing was resolved till today, at least as far as I know. But, hey, no longer that I hold any grudge towards her. My life is more peaceful now, I let the past be a past. Just kinda sad the way things had to turn out to be.

There were lots of things that I learned from her. There are even times that I wished she is still there in the office, guiding us. She may be harsh at times, but with her around, you gained more confidence in doing things right.

I guessed being around her for quite some things had changed me in one way or another. Just yesterday, we finished one very important meeting on one of our equipment. How I wished she was there to chair the meeting, to ask questions, to show to people that we know what we wanted.

Well, its just a wish, anyway... And I vowed to myself, I will learn, and I will be the expert. It may be a big wish, but hey, I am allowed to make a wish, right ? Lets just hope I am able to carry it through.

Datukship - Is The Value Still There

Recently, Malacca state conferred Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka, which carries the title 'DATUK' to Shah Rukh Khan.

I wonder, what did Shah Rukh Khan ever contribute to Malacca, or even Malaysia ? As far as I know, there wasn't any contribution from that particular artist to us at all. So, why give him that award ?

Why not local artists like Sheila Majid, Azean Irdawarty, and many other producers who had made Malaysia famous in the eyes of the world be a worthy recipient of such awards?

Even lay people like me don't understand the logic behind this. No wonder our local artists felt cheated and betrayed. I emphatised with them. This is just what Karam Singh Walia will say - "Kera di hutan disusukan, anak di rumah dibiarkan."

Now, people no longer care if you are a Datuk or not. The value of being a Datuk is lost forever. Any Tom, Dick and Harry can be one now - so, what is so special about it anymore? It is no longer the contributions that enable one to be recognized.

New PM

Yes, we will be having a new Prime Minister in few more months...

Current one decided not to contest anymore - citing nation's interest is his first priority. I am hoping the new one will be able to bring back harmony into the country, and spur the country to greater heights.

With the economy so low, and investors losing interest in us due to current political situation, much is needed to be done to bring back the confidence of those investors.

But first of all, the confidence of the people itself needs to be "revive".

Hope that there is gonna be a "new revival in the land .... "

Holiday Mood

I must still be on holiday mood .... Nothing much interesting nowadays, not even politics interest me anymore. To me, it is just playacting by people who worries whether they have enough power or not.

We, the normal living people, is struggling daily to make decent living. With house and baby coming hand-in-hand, I am now beginning to wish that I will win in contests that offer cash as prize .... Blink, blink .... $$$$$$. Or maybe I should start buying lottery numbers - nah, it will be a waste of money. Probability of me to "kena" any number is extremely low.

I guess I need to ikat my perut (not that I can ikat much pun, with the baby growing inside me... hehehe ... wishful thinking, you may say) so that I can save up enough money ... But I trust in my Lord - He will provide all that I ever need (I also wish for a normal delivery on my expected delivery date which is 2 Jan 2009).

I have another 12 weeks to go - approx. 3 more months... Wish me luck !

Selamat Hari Raya

Just wanna wish all my friends - Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Semoga sentiasa sihat sejahtera dan murah rezeki ...

Reasons To Be Detained Under ISA

Last Friday, 3 people were arrested under ISA. They are RPK, Teresa Kok and Sin Chew reporter, Tan. Tan had later been released.

I don't think I wanna speak about this on my blog. It is an insult to my intelligence hearing what our Home Mnister said about the arrest.

You can read it at the following bloggers' site - Rocky's Bru, Marina Mahathir, Nuraina A Samad, Maria A. Samad, Patrick Teoh and verify those statements at The Star Online.

It makes me sick knowing that the real culprits are only being reprimanded while those who are working for the sake of working are being detained.

Is there any hope for all of us ?

The Lord says - "Have faith in Me .... "

Peace And Unity

Malaysians are generally peaceful and united.

I am talking about us - the normal people, who goes about working and earning our daily wages, unlike those who think they were so "high" above, who doesn't need to work much, who think that they are looking after the welfare of their people.

Awa, a good friend of mine during our study years, in her posting today - "Sayang, Kau Bukan Orang Asing", reminds me of this little fact that most Malaysians, be it Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban, Kadazan, Murut, Melanau, etc do not share the same sentiments of Bukit Bendera MP. We are GOD's highest creation - one with mind and soul. Therefore, it is only right that we behave like one and that means respect for God and for one another.

Awa, I love you lots...

The World Is Upside Down Now...

What the f*** ? The world is certaily going upside down.

When we were small, we were taught by our parents NOT to blame others for something wrong that we did.

This fellow had the guts to placed the blame on others, and telling him to "Get Out Of Barisan". Wa, Barisan belongs to you, is it ? If that is the case, then of course you can call the shots - to allow who you want to be with you. Probably those same people who are insane, uneducated, who do not advocate peace and unity, who had nothing else better to do and call other Chinese as immigrants.

Some more had the guts to ask innocent people to apologize to him ... I just say "Go To Hell" to these kind of people, who are blinded by his own ego.

I love all the friends I have. My best friend is a Malay. I also have good friends who are Chinese, Kadazan, Indian, Iban .... Why do you want to disrupt the unity that your forefathers had struggled to build ? You truly don't deserve to be called a Malaysian, let alone an UMNO leader.

May the Lord be kind enough to open your heart and your mind and especially your eyes to see the surrounding. You living in Malaysia is by the grace of God, so be thankful and count your blessings.

Happy Birthday To Nana

I wanna take this opportunity to wish my best friend - Nana, a very Happy Birthday. She was born on 8th Sept 1980.

We had been friends like forever- ever since we were in Primary 4 up to Form 5.

I missed you, dear friend and hope everything is well with you.

Hope to catch up with you soon !

Debt-Free

Today, I am one step closer to being debt-free.

Why ?

I just settled my car loan in full ... **sob**sob**

There goes all my money (not all, I still have 1, 2 ringgit left)

I still need to pay for other stuff - house reno, lawyer fees, baby's need ...

Aiyo yo .. looks like I am still burdened with debts.

Can money grow on a tree ?

A Reminder To Us As A Christian

Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston , Texas . Some weeks after he arrived, he had an n occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area.

When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.'

Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet.'

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change.'

The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town?'

'Yes' he replied.

'Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday.'

When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'

Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians, and will put us to the test!

Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself 'Christian.'

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder.

The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not PROTECT you...

Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL!

God Bless You.

Now I Am An Immigrant, Am I ?

Well, based on Bukit Bendera MP's recent remarks during the Permatang Pauh by-election, all Chinese are immigrants...

What the s**t is this guy talking ? I thought I am a Malaysian - my IC shows that I am one ... How come I am being labelled as an immigrant ?

Good thing was TPM apologized. Now, that is what I called a man who knows how to safe difficult situation, unlike this fellow who doesn't wanna say he is sorry and even planned to sue the reporter who reported this. This kind of people should not even be allowed to stay in this multiracial country.

What is becoming of Malaysia today ?

How Do I Look ?

Hehehe, I know it sounded vain ... But hell, who cares.... It is not like women get to be pregnant everyday of her life (hopes not...) so changes on the body is indeed a scary moment. What used to be slim and just alright now turns out to be huge. Ok, that is a bit exagerated, but hey, every part of my body seems to be swelling especially whenever I had a look at myself in the mirror every day and night ....


Ok, enough of that... I should expect all this to be coming along... Therefore, my resolution for the remaining months is "To eat only healthy food and whenever necessary. "


Actually, there are lots of good things that happened during my pregnancy. By the grace of God, I had no problem at all - be it sleeping, eating, walking, shopping, what so ever. That is why my syg so syg me - coz he dun have any problem taking care of me.... Pampered me some more ... Sure love that everyday of my life .... Kekekeke....


Ok, these are some pictures that I have taken when I was 22 weeks pregnant ... My friends were pestering me to post pics of me pregnant on the web ...

This photo makes me look so fat ... :(

This is much nicer ... Hehehehe... See, how vain I am ...

I loved this pic ...
