Preggo vs. preggo

One of my female dogs (ah Q) got herself pregnant recently. Her belly is so obviously different from her previous figure. She has lose her appetite as well. We haven't get a vet to check her yet but by losing appetite, her belly should shrink smaller but it is just otherwise. It's getting bigger everyday same as mine.

A conversation between me and Q:
Me (pour a small bowl of water & place in front of Q): Q ah, you should drink more water cuz you're pregnant and your babies need it.

Q (stare at me in blank): .....

Me (stare back at her): ..... (blank)...

Q (get up and walk away): .....

Me : .... (sigh)


And assume that she's really pregnant. She is gonna give birth much sooner than me. FIY, dogs only need 60 days from the time of conceiving to delivering the puppies. =_=" And Q can still do jumping, rolling on floor, running and perform acrobatic movements!

爱=需要

听了 local radio 一位 DJ 做出的一段关于爱的分享:

爱起初是,你看我顺眼,我看你满意,彼此相处的融洽及舒服的在一起拍拖。
在一起久了就彼此的依赖,彼此的被对方所需要。彼此不能没有了对方。那你就知道你经历的就是所谓的爱了。
所以,爱=需要。它们是不能独立的。



这个分享从此就深深的烙印在我脑海里因为我绝对举双手双脚赞同~

是闷?还是平淡?

如果每天的生活如复印机般的重复又重复的过,你觉得生活是乏闷的?还是那是一种过得平淡的小幸福呢?

如果是十来二十岁的我,我应该会觉得生活没乐趣。会重复的思考人为什么要活在这么无聊无趣的世上。为什么我会没有朋友。为什么其他人的朋友圈子会那么大。为什么人家有男朋友而我却孤零零一个人。我的学业会是进步的还是退步呢。我的前途/钱途会是如何的呢。

回想起来,真的还是万分感恩。我也曾经历这一切但都过去了。感恩因为今天我还活着而且还活得很好。感恩虽然乐趣不比别人来得多但少少还是体验了朋友之间所有的欢乐。感恩我的双眼看到了这世界的美而并非我想像中的无趣。感恩我还是有朋友。感恩我的圈子不大但好的朋友有那么几个就够了。感恩没有糟糕的猪朋狗友让我踏上不归路。感恩上帝早就为我安排好我的人生的另一伴。感恩我还是顺利的大学毕业了并也努力的在商场上打滚过。上帝的恩典是要被数算的。那样我们才过的充实及满足。

回想起,四川的人民也过了不平凡的俩周但这些的不平凡让他们痛不欲生。那样的生活就是有趣的吗?不!我相信问他们的话他们宁可平淡的过一生也不愿经历这些灾难。没有人愿意经历这样痛苦的回忆。单是想到了这点我就不断的感恩又感恩。

所以,我认为生活得平淡并非是一件坏事也并非是无趣的。对于现在的我来说,每天的平淡是大幸福。偶尔接到一些电话传来一些坏消息就会让我精神紧崩的过一天。


朋友,你今天数算恩典了吗?你感恩了吗?

7...is the evil number

Out of nowhere, we own 7 dogs now. All ranging from petite Shit-zhu to grand daddy German Shephard. I'm lucky that i'm pregnant that i dont deal directly with any of them in regards of food and play time. Dogs are weird kind of beings that sometimes you can just be so shocked and amazed and cry in awe of their behaviour.

You see, my bedroom is somewhere near the shelters where we keep the bigger dogs in. Out of the 3 huge dogs, two of them literally play with their eating bowls once they finish their food in the evenings. The klonking and clinking noise could happen anytime after 8pm before 8am. It is utterly annoying when all of the sudden your sweet dreams are shakened by a loud thump from the dropping STAINLESS STEEL BOWL onto cement floor. Then the game could go on for hours...



What the dogs did was flipping the bowls upside down so they would sit on the floor and they would just self entertain themselves moving and pushing the bowls around with their "hands". Then the German shephard dog would bite the end of the bowl and flip it into the air and they just glee with happiness when the bowls made noises. Until they accidentally push the bowls into their neighbour's area, which this third dog doesn't enjoy anything like that thank goodness!, then they would stop.

Unless they could literally speak dog's language for the dog to return them the bowls, i wondered to myself.

Something beyond human's creation....


What does it look like to you?

Fret..or not

Just like all other ladies out there, I would never want to see myself goes out of shape. But i have to let it go this time round. It's a sacrifice to make. But, fret not!

I have successful histories of losing weights! Tons of weights! Who should i fear?! Wuahahaha~~~

When i was near the end of my teenage years, i moved to Australia to further my studies. Soon before i realised, i developed this eating disorder (in a way that i ate without much self-control) and my weights and shape rocketed high, touching the 60+kgs figures. With my height at 158cm, that's considered way too obese and it wasn't right at all. I looked round and resembled freshly baked cakes out of oven. Face=round, body=round, legs=all round! Nothing was rounder than me. And the thing was, i didn't realise how round i was until i saw a photo which was taken at my friend's backyard. It was awful!! I fret! Fret the only soul out of me. How could i eat and become that F.A.T all of sudden!

Then, i realised winter increases my body's metabolism rate and accelerates speed of burning calories and fats and hence, it makes me go hungry much faster. Then, i indulged in eating! How to control that? One needs to eat when one goes hungry. How to survive the hunger? Especially during the night. It was a nightmare. Even though i did realise it in the end, i just gave in every time i saw food in front of me. It took years to get myself in right eating order.

It was time i attended uni and with the help from tutes and spending most of the days in uni, i refrained myself from eating. I admit this is definitely not a healthy solution to slim down but i survived. I began with 2 pieces of bread and a cup of water in the morning and finished my day eating nothing else. Dinner time, i ate little portion of rice and lots of vegies and totally cut down on meat. I sipped on the yummy soup instead. I lost my weights in 2 months from 60+ to 56kgs. I was addicted to losing weight when i see the tremendous result! It was addictive. Gradually, i increased my food intake little by little and being whole day in uni attending classes, it helped to slim me down further to 51kgs. From then on, i maintained the weights til 3 years ago.

I met my bf (now promoted to hubby) and we enjoyed our foods of course! My weights went up again. A little this time to 54kgs. The extra kilos did show a little on my face and body since i'm the fleshy type. And just 3 months before my wedding, i went off to slimming centre, paid that money and got the professionals to do the job for me. All i need to do was to lie down, relax/doze off and by the time session ended, i felt "lighter"! Ha. And of course, thanks to the stress and all the cards, wedding arrangements and preparation we DIY-ed ourselves, i lost weight further to 47kgs. The lightest time in my whole life i would say. LOL! I havent seen that figure for some time now.

After months into marriage, the idea of pregnancy sunk in. Realising i didn't have enough fat for a good chance of conceiving (you have to have 24% of fats and above in your body in order to get pregnant), i need to put on weights again. After so much hard work..by the slimming professionals. They all gone down the drain. And the $$ too. Pfft.

There you go. My weight histories. I would say i'm quite proud with all the plummeting and rocketing of the figures throughout the years. At least, i know i'm able to achieve what i want with my strong desire for it. Perseverance is the key!

Now, what to fret when my body holds mostly liquid and fats that are going to wear off after delivery? Thanks to hubby for the treadmill in da house! And, thank goodness for the pool too! I'll put my determination to test after 6 months from now on.

All for the sake of precious one..

1. I'm a bird. One that is caged.
2. I forgot how I looked before I fell pregnant. Now, I'm all out of shape and to top it off, I'm getting heavier all the time.
3. I was all the time active, energetic and outgoing. Now, I'm all the time in inactive mode. Bed is my new best friend.
4. I used to eat without much hesitation of what I ate. Now, I need to peel the skin of each grape I pop into my mouth.
5. I was a coffee, tea and coke lover. Now, my main beverage is Anmum milk powder.
6. I swam, played badminton and jogged. Now, I see the 4 walls, some windows and fishes in the pond. Damn, even they have bigger rooms, comparing our sizes.
7. I went out to enjoy husband-wife's night out in some cool cafes randomly. Now, refer to 5.
8. Travelling was a breeze. Now, it's a banned mind and topic for the next 6 months. Or wait until baby is out, safe and sound and age 1.5 years old. That's approximately in 2 years time? Great.
9. I faced computer when I needed it. Now, I'm addicted to Facebook and picked up the old forgotten Yahoo! Mahjong after so many years.
10. I talked to others. To family. To friends. To hubby. Now, I talked to myself stupidly and to the air, assuming baby could hear what I've blabbered.

Ah well...

Give me my old stamina back!

Time crawls when you're in the shoes in whatever circumstances you do not expect to engage in. Pregnancy is so far so good. Had a few morning sickness now and then. Few big and small appetites now and then. Gain and lost some weights now and then. It's all weird in a sense. You never know you'll be feeling good/yucky for a day. Let alone talking about what is planned to happen tomorrow.

I got myself out of bed for a week to stay in office. I can do or do nothing in office but just get myself out of the house. Then the following week, i'll be staying at home in bed to rejuvenate myself again, looking at i'm only 10 wks pregnant and i need a lot of rest.

I almost got myself into food poisoning last night after i ate some meat that were contaminated by flies. Thank God i had diarrhea and vomited all out pretty soon after that just to get rid of those bacteria out of my body. The thought of bacteria harming my baby is scaring the hell out of me. Prayerfully, I hope he/she is alright in there. I promised myself i'll eat more sensibly from now on. Afterall, a good mother has to learn to act sensibly in any circumstances.

Perception of life

I do visit Nicole's blog now and then for some readings. Just recently, she updated her blog with a post pertaining to her friend's situation of being pregnant and receive no love from her husband and husband's family. My mind is haunted all the while after reading her post. I really pity the girl and her helpless situation. To not be loved, it's the most disheartening state anyone could bear. Some more, she is pregnant with a child of her husband, making the situation even worse.

As per my humble opinion about life, it is all about being love and to love. Of course, if you're loved, you're the enjoying the best the world has to offer you. To love, it's not a bad thing either. It's the matter whether you enjoy the process of loving someone else or otherwise.

Being brought up in used-to-be-a-non-Christian-family, I learnt something invaluable in the past 17 years after i accepted God in my life. I am a Methodist Christian and being a Methodist, it's all about tradition. Compare all you can among the others, Methodist sticks the most to all the rules, hierarchy and etc and i used to think that that was sooo boring. But, as i grew up, i realised being traditional doesn't do me harm. In fact, it keeps me safe. Safe from..? I dont know. At least, i am sure it doesn't and hasn't do me any harm.

If you take a look at how things happen under the sky, they all happen in order. In the way that He had already planned them. If one uses force to make a step ahead of how things ought to be, one needs to be ready to bear the consequences of doing so. It's all fair. One gets pregnant before marriage, one needs to bear the consequences. Why one wants to change the procedure? I think the main reason is human like excitement. They need some changes to make life seems more interesting. Life is dull. And repetitive. So one tries to skip a step and step ahead BUT the timing isn't right in His plan. That's fine. There's no actual law or regulation saying one cannot do that. Go ahead. But, everything that we do, there are responsibilities and consequences for us to bear. Now, it's the matter of whether or not the responsibilities are just good or beyond one's limit.

One point that i strongly hold my belief in and that is if the old customary and traditional marriage can survive for thousands of years, there must be a great reason behind it. And i'm definitely not saying that if you get married, life is going to be a bed of roses for you. It's just to be safe than sorry. To be pregnany before marriage, all the rest is about responsibility. And of course, to follow the old tradition to get married before having kids, you have the great L~O~V~E as a stronghold between the couple to overcome any sufferings and difficulties that might get in the way when the responsibilities lay upon you.

Dont get me wrong. I still pity the girl of her situation.

Call me FUSSY


Seriously, nothing's wrong with the detailed teaching plan given.

..but i like to be in detail. Anything that i attend to has to be in detail. It has to be lined out properly in black and white and most importantly, it has to be typed out in a presentable manner. In uni days, i typed out my palm cards for presentation. I dont trust my or others handwritings. I allow no room for slight mistake to happen when something I was/am responsible for was/is going on. You ask me to go on stage for short talk, i'll be 102% prepared. No doubt. You ask me to teach kids in tuition school, i'm 103% prepared with my own reconstructed notes , which are almost exactly like the teaching plans given to us teachers, typed out weekly before lessons start. I dont know. Is that there a problem lies within me? I just can't seem to trust others of their works eventhough i've gone thru the given teaching plans for 'n' times. Regardless of the allowance of time to do that, i will no-matter-what must come out with something on my own. I feel better in that way. I feel way more confident with my own piece. I speak better in front of audience holding my own work instead of others. I do feel something is not right within me. o.O" I must have been 'sick', haven't i?


Those 'duplicate' works i did weekly.

S.I.A Snail in Action


Look at how it put the plant into its mouth and bit it. It must have polished its shell before it left home.

anxiety and anticipation

days seem to be long-winded. life seems to be full of awaitings. anxiety is growing within me. anticipation for that something to happen seems to be impossible and is taking forever. i keep holding on and letting go. i'm decaying, mentally. there's no way out. nor any way to be in it. i'm not in control. in fact, i can never be in control. it feels so powerless. what have i done. what have i not done.

life can be miserable. it can be a blissful one. it all depends on that split second of choice that you make. which one do i choose to have. it all depends on that split second of the time in my entire life.

Today is an OK day

hehehe...today i feel alrite. I feel better actually. I had a lot of mood swings and i believed that happen to all the females out there. Thanks for DH to be supportive, loving and caring for me.

Now, out of the norm, i am going to post some very random stuffs i just found in my computer. Some masterpieces done by others instead of me. i have no talent or watsoever that could be shown off. At times, i really admire the talents people have and with their hands, they can make the world seems to be a much more beautiful and meaningful place to live in.

Taa daa, i now present to you my mom in law's masterpiece:


CUTE OR NOT??!?!?!?? I found them too cute to be put into mouth and munch them..i did eat one in the end though..couldn't resist the pao...mainly=P

And, this is my sister, Karen's version (sorrie mek, couldn't help but to post them up for you..they're VERY cute too..in a way):


The fatter version...which is still cute right? People always say pig is cute..so i guess a fat tortoise is cute too. ^o^

Another masterpiece from sister:


I am so proud of her. We used to only knit scarves when winters were almost hitting..like two months before. Since when she advances herself knitting this mobile phone pocket...i dont know. It was so well done that i had to rub my eyes twice looking at it, flipping it back and forth trying to look for any flaws i could possibly find..hahaha.You're good! *thumbs up*

i think she will strangle me when i go back to Perth next time but dont care. Post it up first:


i make the size smaller already..comparing to the others. ^_^

Now, bomb me lor.... X_X"

a total mac supporter we are

Hubby got a new mac in addition to our mac desktop today.It's so cute.Whitish. Small.Elegant.So feminine look.Macbook it is.I believe mac is way better than PC.I am not a racist.I do have a laptop myself.So problematic.Now and then pop out virus updates.Anti-virus updates.After closing programs, screen freeze asking to send report. =_=" I think deep inside me, i started to hate windows.

Mac meets my need for being so helpful and non-problematic most of all.


I enjoy the light from that 1/4 bitten apple.


Love the keypad as well.So clear cut.Clean & tidy. Leave no space for dust and food drops.

*Thumbs up*

good times in Perth

As usual, my alarm clock woke up earlier than me this morning and i still couldn't get to continue with my students' report cards that should be handed in right after the holiday ends. And, I am here updating blog. Finally, i'm back in Perth (too bad that it's not for good) and it feels so great. I miss this place. My home. You wouldn't know how i hope i can just miss the flight or play MIA with the tuition school back in Kuching. But, life tells me i can't. It's stupid.

My hubby is with me this time and we had such wonderful times visiting back those spots that we went when we were still couple. All the memories just flowed back in our heads. We had gatherings and met our friends and man..it feels like i don't know how long i've been away for. I miss them. We went to our church. We met our bros and sisters and our beloved Aunty Kim. She's getting skinnier. She welcomes us back with that forever big smile on her face like the world is of no worries. I miss her too.

Most of all, i love being at home. Looking at those corners, i can recall what i did before. Looking into my patio, I recalled my gorgeous Lab X GR Benson staring back at me with the head slightly tilted, pretending to look innocence. I miss those times. I miss Benson. I miss Mom. I miss siblings. I miss every bits here and there in Perth. At home. Outside.

It will never be the same again. At least, not for now. Three more days and at this hour, i'll be in airport again waiting to board the flight back to Kuching. Kuching is good. Family is good. In fact, everything is well prepared and i can live a good life without worries there. I will be getting used to a new home. Treat everyone my family member as well. Love them dearly as well.

Heart is tearing. Physically strong. I need that to walk on. But, patience is a virtue. I will be back. Not long to go. I am counting down. Day by day.
Adios for now.

Cooking has turned out to be much more fun than before

We are all aware or subconciously aware deep in our mind that cooking is meant to happen in an area so called "Kitchen". The world is evolving into a better place for us to live in. It is evolving so quick that i didn't know when pple have already started to evolve this area into a kitchen.


The rice was boiling cook then.

Before Vs. After


Before



After

The change okay or not?
