thanx all!!!

a sneak peek of my birthday presents

hey, thank you all... really loved the presents, everyone of them!!!

the bakul siah's from vp. i really loved it, as for the past few cny i wanted so much to buy it, but it was way too expensive. hehehe, as for the bear bear - i wanted to get one for myself, and i didnt have to cause od, rena & julie have given it to me...

my bro & pauline didnt wanna crack their heads to get me a present, so they gave me isetan vouchers so i can buy whatever i like. but they have bought me a bouquet of flowers on behalf of re... sooo sweet. ohh, not forgeting my beloved uncle hubby - he bought me a very expensive bag (not in the picture)

muak muak

From Koh Samed with love...

This is our 4th day at Koh Samed.... It is a beautiful and relaxing place. But, I'm burned and look like a lobster now.

I just wanna wish AM a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY (so sorry that this came late... am at the internet cafe now)! I've got a birthday present for you... from Koh Samed. :)

And to the rest of you, see you when I'm back in KL. Will be heading to Pattaya tomorrow. And will be back in KL on Wednesday.

With love,
From Koh Samed

the best gift

at 9:24am, my phone rang, it was vp.

vp : where r u?
me: work la, u in melaka oledi?
vp : not yet leave kl, u in office ah? come down
me: huh? really, oh...

oh dear, soooooo sweet. this is indeed the best birthday gift i've received this year... thanx thanx

honestly, this morning i woke up, i wanted so much to eat this, but i just didnt know how to go.

there goes...

hmm, there goes my last year of being in the twenties... aiks, next year will be a beginning, a step in to the BIG 3!!!

well, yesterday had a fulfilling dinner in rib shop. enjoyed the lamb ribs & red wine. then we headed to the heritage row. went up to loft then headed to mojo. and supper in kokok.

rib shop
quite a quiet dinner. nice ambience, nice wine, but the food was ok only. we had our talk & the guys had theirs. thanks vp for the great meal.

loft
idiotic place. our 3/4 bottle can only admit 2, so vp & kl had to pay cover charge. that's fine, the worse thing is, there is a need to search all lady's bags. what on earth is that for? both vp & i were so blur, we opened our bags. later only did we realised it's a bag search. f**king place. if i have known earlier, i would not even go in there.
anyway, after a few glasses of black label (vp - soda), billy jai came. all 4 of us were happy to see him there.

mojo
we met sin & johnny outside and went to mojo. hmm, not many people. we ended up upstairs, the guys played pool while the pretty mummies sat out in the balcony talking bout e-excel, herbalife & our kids.

kokok, pudu
had a nice supper. the table were filled w food. fried siu yuk, braised chicken feet, jelly fish, chicken, tauge, laksa, hor fun...

not really as fun as mummy's day, but it was nice to get together and chat again. both uncle & i thought it was not as fun mainly because vp didnt drink. hahaha. damn... no photos, vp vp how could we forget? sigh.

thanks all for the sms (till 8am), bro & pauline, betty, vp, eeks, ht, lawrence and my dad called me at 730am to wish me a very happy birthday...

12 weeks 4 days...

ok stop guessing...yes i am 3 months pregnant! i just found out last week from Jeremy Chuah that i am actually that far due. why i have not admitted to sandy + am's repeated questioning of "is raine here? "so are you pregnant?" "any good news" etc... was because i couldn't get over the fact that i was actually pregnant again! i wanted a baby last november/december but not now, i am totally unarmed therefore it hit me real bad. i was in hardcore depression mode for almost 5days. i didn't pick up nor replied any sms's. i couldn't go anywhere, couln't face anyone, just couldn't do anything. all i did was cry..cry..cry all day! i cannot bear the thought of having 3 kids running around the house, the thought of going thru another damn confinement, the nightmare of the child falling from the bed while turning, of him/her contracting eczema and me finding ways to cure it and off coz loosing those flabs all over again. call me SELFISH! yes i admit! Just as i thought i was over the fact that Reeve's eczema was completely gone and that he can walk without banging his oversized head on the walls...the nightmare has begun all over again...

i had unlimited and unreasonable arguements with ron thoughout the weekend (he was so supportive, so calm and so patient with my berserk attitute) i know it is not his fault but he just wanted me to keep the baby, i on the other hand told Jeremy that i wanted an abortion right away, i was irrational and panicked, i walked down Bangsar Telawi weeping and feeling lost. it didn't hit me that i was pregnant until Jeremy said "lei koh baby ho tai jo lor" (your baby is very big already) i laid on the bed thinking what the fuck was he talking about? what do you mean #%%@@#$#%!@#$$???? i have been getting my period every month on the dot! he said it is b'coz my uterus is weak that's why i was bleeding, he then showed me the hands, backbone, feet, arm etc...as u can imagine, i was utterly shock and all i could think of was no..no..not now... he referred me to Sentul Maternity Hospital on Saturday morning to have an abortion (if i wanted), the doctor scanned me and explained to me the size and features of the baby, i could not look into the monitor as i didn't want that one look to affect my decision. i was crying all the way during the explaination, i closed my eyes and all i could think of was i wanted the abortion ASAP. the indian doc cheerfully pointed out to me that the baby was playing inside there and his eyes has already formed since Wednesday. he sat me down and started asking ron and i why i was acting so emotional, i choked on my reply, i cried so much that i had to leave the room to cry more...lastly I COULD NOT do it!

i went home to tell my mum that i went to Sentul on a pretext of and abortion. she shook her head (expected her to scold me, but she didn't) and told me what a SIN i would have caused if i had done that! she told me nothing in this world is unsolvable. she didn't say much to me which i really appreciate (coz if she had then i may feel threatened and gotten more emotional) she even asked me if i wanted to play mahjong to ease my tension, she will call her kaki back, then when i shook my head, she asked me again "you want a cigarette to calm down, but only one for now..nomore ok, just for today and now". i accepted the generous offer but threw it away after a few puffs. She said she knew i will not smoke that ciggy for long. My mum gave me a very docile, dedicated and angelical smile which made me feel so stupid and foolish for thinking otherwise...a mother will unconditionally love her children nomatter what happens, how could i have the slightest thought of being so inhumane?

i confronted a friend of ours, as she has the experience in abortion (not going to reveal her name here, but she will know who she is) she was just there with me, sms over sms to calm me and to prevent me from doing it. i really thank her for those comforting messages she sent. she repeatedly reminded me to think of my kids, ron and especially my health. Don't know how to thank her...

The sight and thought of that baby playing happily in my stomach, the sincere heart which my hubby carries to Hadyai every now and then to donate coffins (the last he did that was on Friday, 1day after he found out i was pregnant) for those who died in hit and run cases/tsunami etc...you mean one of those coffins he donated last week is for my baby? that fact is just too cruel to accept, can i live with a murderer labelled on me for life? all these just puts a hold to all the bad thoughts i had for this baby. Who am i to decide on ending his fragile life? what rights have i got to to stop him from breathing? trust me, as i am writing now, tears are pouring down my cheeks, the thought of aborting this lil' fella haunts me of guilt! if only he/she knew what his insane, tormented mother was about to do to him/her 2 days ago...

E.D.C: May 8,9,10th 2006
E.D.D: Jan 28th 2007

staying quiet at home

i've been quiet for the past few days because i was admitted to the hospital last thursday night and was discharged on sunday afternoon. i'm now recuperating at home. so, i'm not sure whether i'll be joining you all next wednesday or not because there are so many things i can't eat. i'm getting quite frustrated actually. for now, i'm just eating fish, scallop, carrot, spring onion porridge. that has been my recipe for the last dunno how many days. i wish i could have a big mac now. yummy!

but, i'm still going to bangkok next thursday. gary said he'll just feed me on mushroom soup. what?! no tom yam? how can? argh!

wow, seems like i have missed out a lot.

first of all, i wanna thank vp sooooo much for the breakfast. i loved the ccf, but it's really difficult to go there to buy it. so everytime i wanna eat, my beloved mummy will go get it for me, but after having to take care of re, it has been quite a while since i last ate those. anyway, i still remember that sunday, i hadnt even opened my eyes, and the sms already alert me - breakfast is served. yummy yum yum!!!

and sigh, i've missed the karaoke??? so sad. i wish i could be there though. so nice so fun. and why are you guys all mixing up your spouses ah? i guess i'll have to wait for MINE to celebrate. hmm so shall we plan now? where should we go? rakuzen? ern? hotpot? happy hour?

Good Old Days!

Old fashion cake from Pudu (next to Dr Teh's cliniq aka OD's father), Chen Tung not King Tung has been around since my grandmother's time, i just love them, so does my bro. they are not as colourful as the ones AM bought because i love chocolate flavor cakes...sooo...delicious..











old fashion cakes to go with "Fu Chok, Pak Koh" tong sui which mami boiled to cool us down...









here comes the highlights of the day...The so famous "Kari Chee Cheong Fun" from Pudu. They have been around for 5 decades, since my mum was 16, she started eating here. used to be 20c-50c, now RM2.00-RM2.50 per pack. i got up as early as 7.30am, reached there by 8.15am and managed to get 20 packets for my in laws, my family and AM. Both AM and i agreed that this fella's CCF is undeniably the best in town, nooneelse can come near. the taste is so authentic but yet clear (no meat, no veg, nothing but just ho fun and kari - simply the best!)







Yong Tau Fu, Kari CCF and Tong Sui is a perfect breakfast for me! Everything is so old fashioned and tasty!












lastly, a cup of "PU ER" tea to flush down all the "SINBOHYDRATES"
