18minggu

wow....cannot believe that i am already in my 18th week!! only 22 more weeks to go. cepatnya rasa!!!

i gained LOTS of weight this time around and i am NOT proud of it. nasib la ni musim winter, bolehlah hide under the winter jacket bagai. tapi, untuk mengelakkan dari badan naik bagai dipump, i have been eating healthily. more salads for me and naik turun tangga, if larat.

morning sickness is still there, tho not as often as it used to be. sakit belakang is becoming bareable. off late, tummy becomes really itchy..prolly because its expanding. and yang paling tak best, semenjak 2 hari ni, i could see jerawat sprouting on my face!! its bloody irritating because if you know me, i hardly ever get any jerawat, EVER. so much so that when i was a teenager and tetiba muka berjeragat lite lite, daddy wanted to bring me to a dermatologist *matila mengada! when i was preggers with dani, i had jerawat as well, but not on my body...it was on my back, and it bothered me so much that i went to see a dermatologist, and religously slather cream apetah yg dermatologist tu bagi. needless to say, it went away after i gave birth..yela..mmg caused by hormones pon kan tapi biasala, drama je lebih. however, i am planning to buy myself a new mousturizer, cos i just swtiched to a new one 2 days back, so that could also be the reason. hrmm....

what else? oh...my feet sembab. perut feels stretchy.

i was rereading what i wrote when i was pregnant with dani and mak ai...manjanya i masa tu!! i guess i had the chance to be kan. masa tu, if cannot sleep at night, could wake hubby up and make him ulit me to sleep. back ache, always someone to rub my back. if b penat sgt, i would just park myself on my parents bed and ask my mom or dad to rub my back. hihihi...manja kan? sigh, now semua pon kena buat sendiri.

i really cannot wait till i am in my 28th week!!! insyaAllah, i would go back around that time. hehhehe..cannot wait. thats only 10 more weeks to go!!

btw, tolong doakan i pass my faculty presentation. need to ace it in order to sign the doctoral thesis agreement.

tengs.

misi hidup sehat

i have been trying to eat more healthily this whole week. Alhamdullillah, it is not as hard as I thought it would be. Kenapa tiba-tiba eat healthily kan? Because uols, my weight increased tremendously!!!! I got a shock when I weighed myself uols. I tell you, memang la tak boleh diet masa pregnant, so i resorted to eat healthily.

Now, I eat lots of vege, mostly salads. A typical meal I would have in a day would be:

breakfast: cereal or if i go out early, i would buy a spinat tasche (thats spinach and cheese pastry..i know i know, ada cheese but my reason is that i need the calcium, kan? hehe...matilaaa alasan)

lunch: vege sandwich (i use vollkorn bread, which is peppered with sunflower seeds) or if makan luar, i like seafood at nord.see.

dinner: salad and bread smothered with cheese spread. kadang-kadang, salad and hard boiled eggs.

sometimes, i have brunch....so thats two full meals je. tapi kdg2, dinner, selepas salad and bread, i drink milk and eat cereal as well. sometimes i treat myself to stabux's skinny chai tea latte and white choc raspberry cheesecake. sometimes i snack on fruits.

i really hope my weight will not increase that drastically......

i need to buy dates and kuaci or kacang to snack on. my friend said that i would be good for baby.

p/s: i odered mensa's fit for mind book online last night. cannot wait for it to arrive. call me silly, but i have always wanted a book like that ever since i was a kid...tapi tak pernah berani nak minta Daddy belikan. so, this time, i bought one for myself (tapi versi adult). apparently, working on puzzles is good for baby as well. :)

tendang-tendang

haluuuu.....

today is the day i am officially sure that what i feel is baby kicking. before this, mcm was was, sama ada baby tgh kick ke, or just gas. hehe. so helooooo baby. now mama can talk to you. err..padahal sebelum ni pon dok slalu cakap kan sbb dok sorang uols..

anyway, esok ada 2 presentation. and the time pulak sort of overlaps. hope i sempat laa nak pergi to the other place!

and yg plg merisaukan adalah my faculty presentation next week. tapi, i am sort of reliefed cos my dear SV is the chair for my session. so i hope he would be supporting me all the way. i really need to go through this.

then, semalam masa last kelas forprak, tetiba diberikan lagi satu assignment! haiyooo...kena buat tief interview pulak dah. dah la assignment in german. matila maakkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its group assignment tho. so, maybe mati lite lite la kot.

okla...hari ni, i need to habiskan baca pasal social interactionism, prepare my text for presentation next week, and the ppt as well. pastu nak kena baca balik text for tomorrow plaks.

oh..i really cannot wait for this sem to be over. walopon keje tak over-over pon, at least, i will be done with presentations and only need concentrate on writing my paper. sesambil tu, ai ada hajat nak pergi somewhere for the weekend. but mana yek? should i go to munich?? apa best kat sana yek? or should i go to venice? i was thinking of going somewhere accessible by train. tgklah cemano. april ingat nak pi tirol and salzburg dan mungkin turkey. hmm..or should i go to turkey in february? *matila plan macam-macam walopon keje berlambak!!

list kerja untuk minggu ini.

1. prepare text and slides for vc presentation.
2. borrow and read books on social interactionism to prepare for meeting with sv on thursday.
3. prepare text and slides for faculty presentation (yikes...debar nyaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!) next week.
4. baca again for the presentation on thursday.

Out of all the above, i am most nervous pasal faculty presentation and seterusnya my vc presentation.

semoga Allah permudahkan urusan saya, insyaAllah.

ok...satu paper accepted for a conference in KL. woot woot. bestnyaaa.....now, nak kena cari sponsor for the conference sebabnya, i am considered as a student from international uni jadi registration fees adalah dalam euro.

anyway, conference is at the end of May, jadinya, mcm cun-cun la in time for masa ai nak balik tu.

secondly, OMG....bulan january adalah bulan yg penuh dgn cabarans dan deadline. tula..masa cuti panjang tak ingat kat kerja kan?? shopping jer manjang.

17th-deadline for visual culture

20th- presentation for qualitativeforschung methode and visual culture and meeting with SV

27th- presentation of expose in front of faculty members (iskk..nervousnyaaa)

Feb plak, deadline for forschungpraktikum

march, deadline for verhandlung des subjekts

april, deadline for qualitativeforschung methode

Ya Allah, please let me pass all my subjects with at least a 2.

mendaftar anak ke sekolah.

Since I had a lot of free time (ok.tu tipu cos asg tak habis pon lagi!), i have been googling about potential schools i am thinking of sending AD for std 1. Apa, you kata terlalu awal untuk berfikir sedemikian? Uols...pendaftaran anak uols ke standard 1, selalu dibuat masa dia 5 years old lagi, in hopes that ada place dekat your chosen school. if not, kenala campak skolah mana-mana uols!

tambahan pulak, sekolah rendah kat kawasan perumahan ai tu, satu tu je. oleh ittew, ai dah pesan siap-siap kat Dr Sunshine untuk membook tempat whenever it is opened for registration (usually in March).

tapi, dalam masa itu, i love the idea of AD being in SRAI. there is one in Bx3 but ada entrance exam. The school is under kelolaan jais and only accepts about 200 students each year. i would really love it if he gets accepted there, insyaAllah. Yang sekolah tu pon,kena ambik borang permohonan to sit for the exam. tapi only when the kid is 6 years old. so kena tunggu next year, i guess.

its so amazing that i can stay up to research on all this things tapi nak buat kerja, satu pon tak jadi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p/s: hmm..dah besar dah anak bujang ai!

mengaji

yesterday,i found out that my anak bujang pergi kelas mengaji. uh....rasa macam dah besar pulak si AD tu. papa already send you to kelas mengaji.

technically, memang dia baca pon iqra' tu kat GA. but saje je Dr Sunshine send him for mengaji of friday nights, sementara nak tunggu Dr Sunshine yg usually locum on fridays tu kan, bolehla AD spend his time wisely (katanya).

So, its twice a week, but Saturdays tu, he'll only go if papa is working, i guess.

sigh. i cannot believe that my first born dah besar. he is still a baby to me.

tapi kan, tetapla anak bujang no 1 tu ala-ala pemalu. hmm..pergi birthday party pon, if nak main games, nak papa teman. sangat beza dgn AA yang terus akan bermain tanpa mengambil kasih siapa ada. hahah..
