Faux college hysteria
*frown
*grin
*frown
Ada apa sih kok senyum cembetut senyum cembetut ganti2 terus udah kayak orang sakit jiwa??
Jadi begini niiihh....gue akhirnya telah diconfirm dan disetujui untuk berangkat training ke KL akhir bulan Mei ini > *grin
Tapiiiiii lamanyaaaaaaaa itu loh. Trainingnya 2 minggu aja dong..anak gue mo dikemanaiiin > *frown
Cuma asik juga sih, rasanya bakal kayak balik kuliah lagi, belajar lagi hehehe. You know how I miss college and all the fun stuff! >*grin
Again, 2 minggu..mo bawa Kay masih susah soalnya dia kan udh mulai makan and makanannya musti dimasak. Nah gue bisa masak dimanaaa? (kebayang jongkok di balkon kamar hotel kipas2 bubur beras terus dimarahin sekuriti krn asepnya kemana2) >*frown
Dan seterusnya.

Kaykay's first meal

Kayla sicky…:(
Kayla sekarang udah 5 bulaaan yaaay ^^. Makin aktif dia dari hari ke hari. She's a little dynamite and I couldn't be prouder as a mom. Jadi teringat doa gue dulu, may she be a vibrant child that's full of love and bring joy to everyone around her. And that she does…thank you ya Allah for her J
Unfortunately, this little locomotive is a bit under the weather. Within this last month she's been throwing up a lot, often throwing up the whole content of her little tummy, poor thing. Over the course of the month gue udah berniat untuk bawa dia ke dokter, tapi masih ragu2 gitu. Abis kalo udah muntah gitu she looks pretty happy and okay dan gue ga mau maen bawa dia aja ke rumah sakit apalagi ke UGDnya. Gue nggak mau mengekspos dia ke udara rumah sakit kalol emang ga perlu2 banget. Lagian, 2 minggu lagi juga udah jadwal imunisasinya so…ah I don't know. The decisions to made when we're parents…ga pernah sebelumnya gue dihadapkan dengan keharusan untuk membuat keputusan yang menyangkut well-being seorang anak manusia, let alone my own child!
Anywhoo…hari ini gw ditelepon motion radio buat record suara, ditanyain opini ttg sesuatu, and will be aired tomorrow morning hihihihi…tau aja mereka kalo gue pendengar setia. Btw, ada yang tau Gedung Kontan di Kebayoran Lama dimana ngga? (yg jawab di Kebayoran Lama mending ga usah deh…itu mah gw jg tau)

Kenyaaaang!
Hari ini gue makannya keterlaluan deh. Pagi2 udah menghabiskan 1 porsi breakfast package yang terdiri dari nasgor, 2 pieces of toast, scrambled egg, 2 sausages, a cup of tea (with creamer) and a glass of orange juice. I ate them all but the toasts (was gonna safe them for the afternoon cravings).
And siangnya, diajakin lunch sama pak bos + 3 other bumils and 1 other person. Kita makan ke Beautika. To be honest, I wasn't really hungry but was just happy to socialize. I was even sure that I wasn't gonna finish the whole portion. But was I wrong or what....I ate the whole portion, plus a glass of lemon tea and a portion of Es Kacang. Ghaaa....parah nihhh!
Sekarang anak gue lagi melancarkan aksi ikan paus kecilnya...alias berenang2 di dalem kayak monster Lochness (kaya yang tau aja Lochness geraknya ky apa -.-').
Paus keciiiiil kamu lagi apa di daleeeeeemmmm....nanti kalo weeked ini kita bedua masih ndut, diketawain om dokter lagiii (teringat last visit, om dokter: Manda, 4 kilo lagihh?)
Hiks.....

Mommy-to-be :)
I still have about 7 weeks (too long) to go and I don't know how big this is gonna go until the actual D-Day. I have added 44 lbs in 7-ish months and I'm currently adding about 8 more lbs/month. Sweet..
But you know what, honestly, I am not THAT concerned about my weight + swollen feet + extra stretchmarks. Right now all I care about is being able to deliver my little girl safely, and hopefully by normal labor. I'm not really concerned (yet!) about the variety of labor pains despite all the videos I've seen and testimonials I've heard that it's gonna hurt like hell. I just want to hold my baby in my arms and hope that this last 7 weeks can pass by quick enough.
Gosh I still need to let it all sink in that I'm going to be responsible for a human soul for the rest of my life in just 7 weeks. It does sounds funny that I haven't gotten it all sinked in to my brain that I'm going to be a parent, despite the new car switch from a compact to a station wagon-y car, despite the fact that my body has changed (and still is) tremendously, despite the time I spent caring for my baby inside and got called by name whenever I entered Mothercare now...(yikes! haha). Yeah seriously, the people at Mothercare Pacific Place now know me and my husband on a first name basis because we go there almost every week. Even just to have a look around and not buying anything, we just have the 'pull' to enter that doggone store everytime we go to the mall.
Yeah well ayway..pregnancy has been fun for me so far. I am one of the lucky ones not to experience bad mood swings. And hopefully with me being happy most of the time like this, will be good for my little girl :)

Contemplation

Dear all,
Have been thinking for days of what I'm going to say with no avail. Things kept popping in my head randomly. I've felt that my focus is slipping away and been trying to hold on to it for dear life. I'd probably need to step back, take a breath and see everything from a bird's eye view.
But do I have the time?
Growing up will not wait for anything. Like time.
I need that moment when time stands still.
Laughter. From the heart. Out loud.
Damn I miss that.
I am one of those who believes that growing up does not mean losing the happy part of you, substituted by responsibilities, obligations, needs, and the list goes on.
But now I know that it is not as easy as it seems.
Why am I stuck doing things that is utterly meaningless?
Why am I stuck doing things where I am situated to be cautious of other human beings?
Why am I stuck doing things that does not seem to bring that much good?
I don't like it. I stay because of need. I stay because of responsibilities.
Meaningless...passionless...
I don't like it.
Once you're counting the days when you can leave something, that's usually one of the first signs that say you need to find something else.
What do I truly want? What do I truly need?
And why does my wanderings kept being halted by the thought of reponsibilities...
Akh...my head hurts. I don't know what to do..I don't know who to talk to.
Laughing out loud. Let's just make that my short-term goal.

Hhh.....ayo bernapaaaas.....

Hari ini pagi2 udah argue sama my husband to-be cuma gara2 masalah kecil doang. Gue sih emang yang nyolot tapiii giimaaanaaa. Hh...mana ini hari senen, pula. dohhh...
Ga tau nih belakangan ini kok gue semakin nyolot yaa? Awal2nya cuma kalo lagi PMS doang tapi makin kesini makin ga sopan ke nyolot an nya merambah ke hari2 biasa doang. Ihhh ga rela banget gueee!
You know, gue tuh termasuk jenis orang yang happy go lucky sekaliiii. Ga banyak hal2 yang bisa mengganggu gue apalagi bikin gue bt. Tapi sekaraaaaang? Ya ampun sekarang ini gue udah kayak godzilla, sumbunya pendek abeeyysss.....Hal2 kecil aja udah bisa bikin gue upset/bt. ih! ih! ih! (tu kaaan......)
hh...godzilla.....anjeyss skrg gue baru paham knp ada istilah bridezilla itu hahahaha kurang ajaarrrrrr kayaknya gue kualat dulu setiap ngeliat iklan acara bridezilla di tv waktu di st louis gue suka meremehkan gitu, gue pikir "gile santey aja dong nyonya2...it's just a wedding...". And look what happen to me now..Haiiyyaaaa ya Tuhan maaphkan akuuu...ga lagi2 deh ngeledekin para bridezilla ituuu.....nanti2 lagi setiap ngeliat bridezilla I'll just give her a hug and say everything is gonna be fine...puk puk puk..
Hh....omaigat....I know I am sooo much better than this. Amanda yang easy going itu kemanaaaa batang hidungnyaaaa!!! Giliran lagi dibutuhin malah ngilang entah kemana (dang now I'm even mad to my imaginative self haha this is bad)
Hhh...maapin aku ya sayang (just in case anybody need a clarification, I am referring to my future hubby), I know I am making it hard to like me now (heck I don't even like myself very much right now)...but I will try my best to go back to my old sweet self (like I am ever sweet before haha).
Sabar2 ya ngadepin aye....luv u very2 much and despite all my craziness, I know for sure that you are The One and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you (cie cieee...haha)

Bad Mandy
I’m so tired…of playing…playing with this bow and arrow...
Gonna give my heart away...leave it for the other girls to play...
For I’ve been a temptress too long….
Ngeeeniweeii
Huwahhh kantor gue masih kosong beginiiii…..emang sih harpitnas jadi kayaknya pada ambil cuti sekalian biar bisa pada masuk senen aja
Hmm….what should I do at the office today….from the look of things, I think I can skedaddle from here around 3pm…Hmph if I don’t have that bundle in a sack (a heavyweight laptop and its heavyweight paraphernalia) I would have gone to Grand Indo and have a (window) shopping day! Hahaha
Oh and by the way, I have finished my 2 weeks new joiner training yay! ^^
So relieved and surprisingly got great feedback from the instructor!
I think he’s really nice because on the “assignment submitted” part, he wrote: on time. While actually I submitted the last assignment kind of late..like a week late. And, it was supposed to be a toughie, other new joiners are working with teams of two and did it for a few days while I was working at it by myself and finished it (rushingly) in about 3-4 hrs, and that was because I got an email from the instructor asking about it. If not I’d probably still procrastinate. So I’m just glad that I still got good result despite the rushing and the “asal2an” work :p
Baaad Mandy! Hahahaha
