Goodbye first trimester..

Hallo second trimester.. Been looking forward to see you since I heard that you come bearing good news..

You know.. Good news like 'My hormones have now stabilised and my morning sickness should disappear by now'.. or 'I should expect a spike in my energy levels and won't feel so sluggish'..

Gosh.. I would even have settled for 'Your nose would be less sensitive by now and you can kiss your husband without gagging or going to the kitchen without wretching your guts out'..

Huh??!

What do you mean I have to wait for another 2 weeks??!!

Arrrghhhhhhhhh...

&^%$#!!!!

Takpe.. Sabar Ayu.. Sabar~~~

;p~

Your security will be at risk and our women will become maids in other people's countries..

Believe it or not, the sentence above was uttered by our 'beloved' MM Lee Kuan Yew. It was one of the reasons he gave for the recent ministerial payhike.

Logical tak?

We are not paying to get better leaders.. we are just paying our leaders better.. :(

I came across this hilarious blogger while bloghopping. Very crude but to the point. Uses lots of vulgarities so readers discretion is advised.

Someone in perkahwinan.com mentioned my favourite book, Animal Farm by George Orwell..

Here's a link to the free online book --> http://www.george-orwell.org/Animal_Farm/0.html

Go read it..

All-Day Sickness..

I swear I will never take 'feeling normal' for granted ever again..

I used to be angry when I hear women complaining about how bad their morning sickness are or when I hear them complaining about how difficult their pregnancies are because I was badly trying to conceive. Sekarang dah terkena batang idong sendiri baru padan muka hang.. Hahaha..

Anyway, for those who are not in the know, I am now 11 weeks pregnant. Yay! I thought I wanted to wait till the 1st trimester is over to make this special announcement but I simply can't wait! I've been vomitting non-stop and admitted to the hospital for 3 days due to dehydration.

Sigh.. The joy of motherhood.. ;p~

Here's something funny to share with you all :

Some women are lucky; they don’t get morning sickness. There are some that have a little less luck; they get some morning sickness. Then there are the rest of us, the women with weeks of non-stop vomiting.

All that non-stop vomiting has a name: Hyperemesis. I have a feeling that hyperemesis is Latin for “Poor woman that vomits everything in sight.”

Since hyperemesis isn’t that well known, most people tend to ask questions such as “have you tried crackers?” or “I hear that ginger works.”

For many women, the only thing that works is having an 8-pound baby shoot out of her crotch.

I know that people are trying to be helpful, but it is really hard not to go postal on someone offering “advice,” especially if you spent the night before in the emergency room, getting IV fluids for dehydration.

I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to say “Crackers? Really? That’s all it takes? Eating a few stinking crackers? I’ve been vomiting for five months straight and all I needed to do was eat a stinking cracker?”

Hahaha.. Trust me. I've tried everything from crackers, kurma, asam masin, preserved ginger, ginger drink etc etc.. It didn't work! I've shunned all my friends, stayed in my room feeling so sorry for myself and 90% dependent on my hubby. It's so hard to stay chirpy and happy about this pregnancy when you have to run to the bathroom every hour or so.

Oh well.. Just another 1 more week.. Let's hope that this 'sickness' will disappear.. InsyaAllah~
