Enjoy!

More like got no time to blog...

lup you long time

HaPPy BIrTHdaY, MISHY MASHY!!!

.

you're still favourably known as BlossomMich. PuffPuff rules!

.

Remember how we met so many many years ago.

It was like as if fate threw us together and I've never had a better friend than I have in you (and ButtercupTjin as well, but this is not about her. She'll have her turn).

.

We've been through so much ups and downs, laughter and tears, accidents (mine mostly) and in and outs of a million different relationships, and yet, here we are, still strong for each another and the best-est of friends *grins*

.

Remember the time we went to Pyramid during one of the days we skipped class and I gostan-ed into the green pillar at the parking lot?

Hahahahahaha!

.

And how I was always late in picking you up for classes and you always get mighty pissed at me but you allowed me to pick you up the day after anyways?

Which also explained why we missed half of the lectures throughout our college years....hahaha!

.

.

And the time when we were bawling our eyes out when you and ButtercupTjin flew off to Perth and I had to stay behind...*sniffles*....

I still keep the postcards you girls wrote to me from the plane.

.

And the best of all was the times when we went for drinks to curse and condemn all the men that came and went in our lives.....

And I ENDED up marrying one of them anyways....

.

I can never imagine how life would be without you, the always practical, sensible one that will talk me out of all my drama moments.

If it wasn't because you knocked some sense in me, I might not even have gotten married....hahaha!

.

.

So, here's to you, sweetheart!!!

BFFs forever.....*bimbo accent*....

Love you!!!

Labour's Day

Went to watch IronMan on Thursday - Labour's Day at Signature @ The Gardens. It was the second time we were wathcing a movie there.

.

The first time we went, we couldn't find the cinema and we made it JUST in time for the movie. What was it again....oh...yah....The Golden Compass.

.

.

This time, since it was a holiday, we bought the 5.30pm show and I made FattyHubby bring me there earlier so I could walk around The Gardens for a bit.

.

Can you imagine, since it opened, I have not been there at all, never checked out the place. Damn swakoo okay.

.

This time, we had enough time to grab a quick bite before the movie started. Oh wow!

.

.

We went to this restaurant, The Gurney Drive. I was tempted when I saw the Penang Chee Cheong Fun and FattyHubby was tempted by the Happy Hours rates.

.

Manatahu when we sat down, we were informed Happy Hours rate NOT applicable on public holidays.

.

.

I got to eat my chee cheong fun though!

Not as good as the authentic Penang chee cheong fun from Penang lah...duh....but yummy enough for me to want to go back for more.

.

.

We also ordered the Rojak Buah cause I got greedy. But couldn't finish.

.

Overall, nice ambience lah...price so-so....
Would only go back there if I happen to be in Mid Valley.

Definitely will not purposely go all the way there just because I feel like eating chee cheong fun lah.

.

IRONMAN WAS SUPERB!!!!

.

I loved it soooooo much that FattyHubby and I are watching it again.

.

When I first found out that Robert Downey Jr. was playing the role of the hero, I was a little sceptical. I mean, the last time I saw him, it was in Only You and Heaven & Soul (I think) so I remembered him as the scrawny little man from those romantic movies.

.

But when I saw him in IronMan, my jaw dropped open!!!

O.M.G!!!!

He BUFFED up!!!!

And somehow got more rugged in the process.
And is soooooooo COOL!

And yet, still makes me laugh.

Now where the hell in Malaysia can we find a man like that, huh?

.

My 7th month old nephew, Devon, came back from Singapore for a visit over the Labour Day weekend.

.

.

See how much he's grown!!!

.

And soooooo adorable too!!!!

.

.

Must look at more cute babies so my little imp can be as adorable!

Smokey Pubs and DreamGirls

Is it just me or is the weather really hot these pass few days? I mean, it's like I hop in for a quick shower, and by the time I hop out, I feel like hopping in again.

.

I can just imagine what I would feel if I had not chopped off all my hair. MAJOR mood swings! ButtercupTjin, I so feel like being with you in Manchester right now....*sighs*....

.

On another pregnancy note, I'm getting a little worried about my weight. My gynea said that a pregnant woman should put on an average of 10 - 15kgs from start to end of pregnancy. I'm now 5 and a half months and I don't seem to be putting on much weight.

.

Pre-pregnancy saw me at 45kgs.

Now, I'm only standing at 50kgs.

And the weird thing, I've been standing at 50kgs for the pass 2 months.

.

Weird right?

.

Especially when I've been eating soooooo much!

And not just anything, I've been stuffing myself with rice and noodles and fried stuff and whatever unhealthy fattening stuff you can think of, I'm eating.

.

Of course it's not like as if I'm purposely consuming unhealthy food lah. I'm saying that I have not been staying away from anything in particular, I eat whatever that comes along. So I'm really shocked why I'm still only 50kgs.

.

But the baby's been doing fine. She kicks me very actively so I don't think there's anything to be worried about her. I'm just worried about myself. Either I'm not seriously eating enough or the baby's been eating all my food and she has been putting on weight while I lost mine.

.

******

.

Decided that since I have not really been out for anything 'happening' since I got preggers, I decided to follow FattyHubby for KaraokeQueenHelen's birthday @ Bilique in Bangsar on Monday night.

.

.

I've never been to Bilique so I didn't know it was a closed up pub-cum-karaoke kindda place. I thought maybe if it was like one of those pubs that have an inside and outside area, and it gets too smokey for me, I could always take a quick nip out, take a breather and go back in.

.

ButtercupTjin always has weird poses

.

I almost died dot com (like how Cheesie would have said it)!

.

me and AnnUma

.

No, seriously, it was good to be able to meet up with so many people I have not seen in such a long time (so much so that I was hugging people that I couldn't even remember their names) but I really really almost killed myself.

.

.

Ok lah, not so drama that I will kill myself lah, but it was serious enough to put my baby at risk. Cause when we left Bilique, and I walked out, FattyHubby could actually hear my congested lungs while I breathe.

.

.

That was how smokey the place was and that was how much smoke I actually inhaled into my lungs....SECOND HAND TOO!!!!

.

Thank goodness for me, my lungs cleared up in 15 minutes and I had to keep forcing myself to cough it all out. So much lah for pregnant woman wanting to be happening.

.

Fail lah.

.

******

.

.

I was invited for the Malaysian DreamGirls Finale on tuesday evening @ the Oval, One U and decided to drag FattyHubby to go with me.

.

.

Honestly, I've never seen a single episode of the online reality show since it started, but since I got invited and I couldn't go to any other happening events in pubs, this was the next best thing to being happening.

.

I've become pathetic >_<'

.

Of course, I bumped into a few fellow bloggers and some celebrities there so it didn't make it seem all that sad lah.

.

.

The KinkyBlueFairy was there with HitzRudy and KennySia was one of the judges for the talent search. ElaineDaly was hosting the event so there was quite a huge crowd gathered around outside the barricaded areas.

.

.

From the begining of the event till the end, everyone was cheering for Hanis. And it was obvious. When ElaineDaly introduced Adeline, no cheers. When she introduced Cindy, no cheers. But before she could even call out Hanis' name, the crowd went wild!!!!

.

ChatterboxJane

.

"Confirm Hanis going to win la. No need to stay until end to find out also"

"Ya lorr....obvious lah"

.

But to everybody's shock and dismay (except for Cindy's family of course), not only did Hanis NOT win the title, but she only won 3rd place. 3rd PLACE! Imagine that.

.

Adeline got the 2nd place and Cindy took the title home.

.

sorry lah...a bit blur. didn't carry my canggih camera with me

.

Now everyone's calling the show Malaysian DreamBitch.

.

KJ and Donnie

.

I guess maybe in the modeling industry, it's easier to work with a non-Muslim cause they're more open to being dressed in more revealing and daring clothes.

.

.

But whether she won or not, I'm very sure she'd get signed up for a few contracts so Hanis, this is not the end of the world for you.
.

hey! we're suppose to be in 'this' together! i can't drink, you can't too!

spunk or dunk?

I dunno whether being pregnant makes you do crazy things but it sure is making me do things that I never for the world of me would think of doing...

.

I chopped off my hair and gave it the Halle Berry look.

.

YES, I DID!!!

.

It's short short short.....so short!!! And the worse part, my stylist taught me how to style it and when he did it for me, it looked pretty damn good, but when I tried it on my own back home, I couldn't do it. I just couldn't.

.

So much for Halle Berry.

.

Look more like Halle Hairy now....*sighs*....

.

But I do like it lah. Just need to learn how to style it properly.

.

Next up....hair colour!!!

Vanilla spice

I happily trotted out of the house this morning with a huge bottle of yogurt in one hand and a 1.5l bottle of vanilla coke in the other.

.

FattyHubby: You going camping issit?

Me: Aren't you glad that your wife knows how to look after herself *i was in a happy mood*

FH: What look after yourself?

Me: I'm taking in my proper nutrients lah. See...(happily points to yogurt)...taking my yogurt drink and see....(happily points to vanilla coke)....vanilla coke which contains vanilla which is a form of milk which is MORE calcium!

.

I happily smirked at him feeling absolutely proud of myself.

.

FattyHubby turns to me with an unexplainable look on his face...

.

"Am I talking to a moron or what? Vanilla is NOT milk lah!"

.

And he was right.

I googled it the minute I got into office.

Vanilla is a SPICE.

.

I was a stupid kid.

.

>_<'

.

On another note.....

.

I felt my baby's kick for the FIRST TIME EVER TODAY!!!

.

It's not like 'fluttering of butterflies' as is written in all pregnancy books.

It's more like soft kicks *thud*thud*thud*

And it's been going on since 3.30pm today and I can still feel her thud-ding away right now.

.

Thank goodness she's no kickboxer - yet.

new gadgets, pink and shakin' asses

So, I decided to spend my hard earned money on a 40GB mp3 player.

.
My excuse - so that my baby can listen to soothing music while she's sleeping in my tummy.
Although of course, as proven on Discovery Science, babies nestling inside the mother's womb cannot hear anything outside the womb except for a slight echo of the mother's voice.

.

Well, then I can still listen to the songs and sing to her =)
.

Reality - I've always wanted to get an mp3 player for no reason at all. Just wanted one.

.

FattyHubby gave me an earful when I showed my new toy to him. Not because he's stingy with MY money but because I promised him a week before that I won't buy anything expensive for myself anymore.

.

>_<

.

But hey, I bought you a BIG bottle of perfume! So forgiven lah...

.

Kit, I think you better call him personally and tell him not to bully me lah. I showed him your message and he just laughed...hmph!

.

Everyone's been asking me if I look really fat now. I don't think so. I mean, I can still wear my own tops, just had to switch my button-up pants for drawstring ones now.

.

"Then you must look like a fishball stuck to a chopstick!"

.

Idiot.

.

BlossomMich and ButtercupTjin are throwing me an all ALL PINK baby shower sometime in June and I'm so excited! My very first baby shower! And I'm inviting my guy friends and relatives. Break tradition a bit lah.

.

I can just imagine. Pink and white balloons. Pink paper serviettes. Pink paper plates and paper cups. Pink roses. Pink dresses. Pink pink pink!

.

FattyHubby will be soooo annoyed. Hahahaha! *evil grins*

He told me no way will our daughter be swath in anything pink. She will only wear macho macho colours.

.

*rolls eyes*

.

Am listening to my mp3 player now.

KJ asked: "So what soothing song you listening to now?"

Me: "Snoop Dogg and Eminem's Shake That Ass For Me"

KJ: -_-'

...

It's like I suddenly got nothing to write about cos I'm pregnant.

.

I thought lah maybe with pregnancy I would have more things to talk about but nothing seems to come to mind whenever I come into my blog.

.

FemmeFatale not so 'Femme' anymore lah...now can call FattyFatale dy.

.

My daughter (yes, I'm gonna have a baby girl!) damn drama wei! She's made me and FattyHubby go through a heart attack session at least once a month for the pass 5 months and it's not easy yah. All these emotional traumas.

.

I seriously have to think twice about going through this all over again if we plan for number two. But let me get through this first and see if I survive motherhood.

Super LOW rates!

Advertorial
.
.
Naturally, since I work for them, it was a matter of time before I was actually asked to blog about them too. Of course, I'm still doing this from a neutral point of view and am not gonna be like totally biased because, honestly, I've never even spent the night at the hotel before.
.
I've been there for like a thousand times, of course, for events, interviews, media tours, etc., and I have used one of the rooms for a day during one of the launches we had, so I do have an idea on what to expect when staying there.
.

the new rooms

.

Tune Hotels.Com will be celebrating their 1st Anniversary in April and is now throwing away room prices starting from as low as RM0.01 for the hotel in 1Borneo, Kota Kinabalu and RM10.00 for the hotel in Downtown KL. These rates are for online bookings only.
.
I know some of you might be thinking, aiyah, budget hotel, nobody wanna stay, sure they throw prices for so low lah, but you'll be surprised to know that since the hotel was launched in April last year, it has been getting an average occupancy rate of 95% every single day.
.
The rooms used to be very simple with polished cement floors and loud coloured walls but after getting feedback from guests, the management decided to upgrade the rooms and make it brighter. After all, they do have to go in flow with their motto of having 5-star service at a 1-star price.
.

the old rooms

.

The rooms are pretty neat. Each room comes with a Double/Single KingKoil Bed with a 250-thread count duvet, En-suite bathrooms with PowerShowers (definitely with water heater as well) AND toilet paper. The air-conditioning is an add-on facility, going for RM5.00 for 5 hours and RM10.00 for 12 hours. This is an option for those who do not need air-conditioning in their rooms and also to encourage the society these days NOT to waste electricity. Erm...and yeah, toiletries and towels are NOT provided as well.
.
.
So bring your own shampoo and soap! If you need towels, they sell it lah, downstairs at the 7-Eleven.
.
.
Overall, if you're not the Paris Hilton type and not fussy about certain things, Tune Hotels.Com is a good and cheaper choice of accomodation.
.
So if I were you, and with the airfares to KK so cheap now, I would go online and book myself into the NEW Tune Hotels.Com 1Borneo KK. Who knows, if I book my air tickets and rooms now for a stay in May, I might just get to enjoy sight seeing in Kota Kinabalu for only less than RM100!
.
.
So book now to enjoy the RM0.01 room rates at KK for stay dates from Apr 15 - July 31 or RM10.00 room rates in KL for stay dates from Mar 23 - Jul 31. You can also log onto www.tunehotels.com or call 03 - 7962 5888 for more information!

At Three Months

I'm officially pregnant!

.

I never knew there was a day I could finally announce this here after all I went through the pass 2 months, but I made it! And so did the baby! And if we could survive through what we went through, I doubt there's anything else ahead of us that would be able to stop us in this journey we're on.

.

Naturally, I'm extremely excited with the fact that I have a little kicking 25.3mm baby created by FattyHubby and I, living inside me right now and I can't wait to feel it's first movements or to find out if we'll be having a baby girl or boy. Of course, as this is our first child, it doesn't really matter and besides, I've already found names for both girl and boy.

.

I only found out I was preggers at 5 weeks and I didn't have much time to actually enjoy the news as from week 6 onwards, I started having certain complications and had to be on complete rest in bed till now. Yes, I'm at week 13 now and still in bed rest.

.

No worries though, everything's okay now and I would be able to go back to work by next week and hopefully, I will finally be able to enjoy being pregnant.

Krabi

Yes, guilty! Almost a month with nothing from me *blush*

But a lot of things took place the pass few weeks and it's a long story...will blog about it in my next blog.

.

As for now....enjoy the over-due pictures from Krabi.

Don't be expecting much cos I was having the mother of all morning sickness when we were there and was curled up in bed most of the time throughout the trip. Damn waste of money...

.

.

.

Suddenly, we heard people shouting "Crocodile!!! Crocodile!!!"

And I'm thinking....hmmm....in salt water???

Everyone rushed to the edge of the water to see it.

.

.

This is your crocodile lah. Biawak more like it!
