Milly’s World

Had my last visit to the gynae last Saturday… had more time to ask questions coz this time around, I didn’t bring Aiman along. My (old but handsome) gynae first comment as I entered… "you gained 600gms from your last checkup". Heh heh… then he flipped my records to 2002 and mentioned that’s a whole more than 10 kgs of difference!!! Funny, hubby and I was just talking about that that morning! Wonder what went wrong… maybe… just maybe, I eat a lot more healthy food now compared to then?

Anyway, this kiddo has a heartbeat of 144 per minute last checkup and I am really starting to wonder if the scan was REALLY wrong after all? No harm wishing… and hoping… and praying…

This kiddo too has changed position from transverse breech to head-up breech and lovessss to turn into a ball, especially at night which causes me to go to pee like nobody’s business. 8 weeks to go… or less, if I wish to…

Meantime, I have basically sorted out all Aiman’s baby clothes. Goodness me… how could my first born have THAT MANY clothes. Thank god for a good mom… hahahaha… they all look brand new! The moses basket is also ready. I just ordered a new cover for it… kesian man… all hand me downs… might as well get a new cover.

Other than that… a lot more needs to be done like deciding where to put the baby cot… giving a thorough wash or cleaning the baby toys (hand me downs of course, didn’t buy any toys… Aiman’s toys is enough for 10 kids to play!)… hospital bag… etc…

Next check-up we should be deciding the BIRTHDATE of our second kid… time flies sooooo fast!!!

As Aiman did not get a single cake for his fourth birthday (mummy in hospital at that time recovering from surgery)… this year he had three cakes… and two parties.

1^st Party – Dolphin Class, Madu Ilmu Kindy, 12 July 2007

Had the party around 10.15am. Aiman chose to have what he called the Power Ranger Car cake. The kids, especially the boys were all so excited over it. It was all nicely done by the teachers and the noise only starts when they start distributing the cake… i.e. “me first” “me first”!!! After cake, the kids enjoyed their

nasik

lemak before they settle down to get into the swimming pool. Aiman distributed his party packs before school ends and surprisingly did not take one for himself!

2^nd Party – At home, 14 July 2007

Morning started off with mummy preparing some food items for the party… and then it was arranging the stuffs on the ground floor. This would be a small scale party (at least from all Aiman’s past parties) as we invited mostly just family members. We only had seven kids in total… Aiman, Hafiz, Shafeeq, Shahmi, Arif, Aliff and Eunice. But the first four was actually enough to cause havoc. They spent the entire time on the top floor doing god-knows-what and only came down when it was cake cutting ceremony. And after eating the cake, off they go upstairs again! Aiman being the ‘perfect’ host showed them where I kept the extra bubble bottles and down they came running around the lawn blowing bubbles!!! O yes, this time the cake was with an aeroplane picture on it.

We had loads of food despite the fact that we didn’t prepare that much in the first place. Of course, it allows tapau session for those who left the party late. That night Aiman opened up his presents and he loved each one of them. He also received loads of cash which mummy will put in his account minus a few ringgits for him to get a blue power ranger figure.

Dinner – At home, 15 July 2005

Aiman’s grandma, uncle and auntie came for dinner on this date. It was a simple dinner of wantan mee, dumplings and pizza while dessert was yet another cake!!!

So there you go… three cakes for a five year old this time around!

We finally went to Bandung last week… it was a smooth one… nobody bothered asking how many months along I was while at the airport

We reached Bandung at about 10.00 am on 240607 and checked into the hotel at 11.00 am. After a 30 minutes rest for the ladies and two kids while the hubbies go arrange for our transportation for the visit plus their golf games, we went straight for lunch… Nasi Padang. When we arrived, they served like 30 plates of dishes and we were wondering how the hell we were going to eat all that. The concept is “Touch it, it’s sold”. Anyway, I guess we were THAT hungry that we finished up 80% of what they served.

Anyway, energy was restored and we attacked our first outlet at Heritage. I didn’t want to go that bonkers on the first day, but anyway, I ended up with clothes for Aiman and baby, several Victoria Secrets and hubby bought a pair of shoes. Then we strolled to the nearby handbag outlet where I got myself a new Esprit handbag that costs me only RM60!!! Then I strolled a bit further to another outlet and Aiman got himself more t-shirts from Next. In all, we spent 4 hours in this area and I only spent about RM200!!!

We went back to the hotel, took a nap and it was time for dinner at a really nice Sundanese restaurant where we ate in a nice hut. It was a peaceful dinner for us as Aiman slept peacefully all the way.

Next day, 250607, the gents had afternoon golf session so we went to Pasar Baru in the morning… like 8.30am, even before most of the shops opened. While hubby was with me, we managed to buy four pair of telekungs for grandma, MIL, aunt and myself, and a pair of baju batik for hubby. By 11.00am, the gents left and the ladies continued with our shopping spree where I grabbed two more telekungs that costs merely RM20 each with a bag, mind you… three pairs of cloths for baju kurung (all mine!!!!), two pairs of embridered blouses and daily outfits for Aiman and his cousins.

By 1.00pm, our driver came to fetch us and we went to the denim outlets where I only bought a pair of suit for Aiman and then just rested in the MPV waiting for the others (not because I didn’t want to shop some more… but I was tired!!!). We reached the hotel at 5.00pm while our driver went to fetch the golfers. Rested a while… did some unpacking and packing and then it was dinner time with the gents at another Sundanese restaurant. This one not as good as the first one we went to.

The next day, the gents went for morning golfing so the ladies left for our last day of shopping at 9.00 am to THE PLACE TO GO… i.e. Rumah Mode. We spent only two hours here… but the load… oh the loadddddd!!! All I can say is that I’ve never seen so much nice kids clothes at such prices ever… Aiman and his baby sibling got like so many new clothes from Next, Osh Kosh and Gap!!! Mommy didn’t get anything for herself here… but spent almost RM400 for the kids alone!

After Rumah Mode, we went to the supermarket where I got myself my usual stock of TEH BOTOL to bring home… just one dozen!

Then it was lunch with the golfers again at the Nasi Padang restaurant. And after lunch we went back to Heritage for some last minute shopping. Hubby grabbed a few shirts from Esprit here. Then, we dropped by Kartika Sari for the kek lapis and cheese puffs. Excellent. Gulped down a bottle of TEH BOTOL while waiting for two men to buy extra luggage for their wives… hahahaha.

That night, we packed… and wallaaaa… our bag was filled to the brim with new stuffs and all the dirty clothes went into the golf bag. At least we didn’t need a new luggage!!! And the men also went for another last minute shopping (reached the outlet 10 minutes before closing time)… and hubby grabbed 3 shirts from Next and a Burberry jacket within that 10 minutes (not bad, eh!!)

The next day… the eight of us paid RM500 for excess luggage…

In all it was a great trip… our driver was excellent… food was good… and shopping was HEAVEN!!!
