Battle of Rome...or is it ?

Triggered by my Braxton-Hicks contractions, which brought me back down to earth after I flew high like a kite, courtesy of my chocolate cravings episode, I started to work out my plans for the inevitable baby delivery process.

And believe me, this process equals the planning of a great war, the one that I hope that I would win, hands down. And guess what is the big prize ? Yeah, my own bundle of joy ! Gosh, maybe this is what the Emperor of Rome felt each time he sent off his mighty general on those conquests for lands and glory....


So with that in mind, I sorted out my plans. Just like a great Roman general, Julius Ceasar, perhaps....planning on the conquest or a campaign, I laid down my plans....

But hey, I should had really embraced the spirit of Solehudin Al-Ayubi, working out his plan to recapture Palestine from the Crusaders in the Battle of Hatin....and come to think about it, I really really admire Solehuddin, or Saladdin as the westerns pronounce it......

Yeah, cross out JC, welcome Saladdin!!!!!!



But.........Argh...just the thought of labor brings shiver down my spine. But I can't avoid this anymore. Need to work out my best-laid plan. Here's the items :-

1./ Baby clothing/paraphernalia, like baby cots/towels/napkins etc etc
Status - checked, post completed, except for baby strollers/baby car seat; (Hints:gifts are welcomed hahaha)
Note : This is the fun part. I love the baby cloth huntings...those cute baby cloth...and did I mention about the BABY GIRLS clothings? oh gosh I am very very tempted to buy that cute pink dress, but since my 3 sonograms reveal penis, so I had to refrain myself from making that purchase........sigh........yep, this is boy number four coming right up....

2./ My own post-partum necessities
Ubat - checked, ordered from my friend, awaiting delivery. I opted to use Amway's Tropical Herbs Post Natal Care Set . Had used it before, and I simply loved this product.
Note : I always cheated on ubat...hehehe...this time around, I hope that I will finish all the ubat on course...no more ponteng makan ubat OK!
Urut - Had booked from a makcik here. The only problem is that my due date will be on hari raya, so I might had to wait for one week before urut....sigh...well, can't do anything about that...
Note : I loved being pampered and massaged......looking forward to this!
Tungku & Barut : Checked, the barut/bengkung comes with the Amway set, and I bought an electric tungku....
Note : This is a MUST in my post natal care regime. I normally didn't really follow a strict diet/berpantang regime (makan, ai bantai apa yang ai rasa nak makan, n after 2 weeks of delivery ai dah keluar rumah, naughty eh??), but barut and tungku is a must, at least for the first 3 weeks.


3./ My otomen
- Oh gosh, here's the worrying factor (apart from my own labor). The other day, after Teddy went out for work, and I was watching TV with my adorable boys, I simply blurted this out to them...

Me : Boys...nanti mama bersalin, mama kena duduk hospital tau, and then mama balik bawak baby (using a happy tone) Boys : Nooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nak ikut ! mama don't go to hospital.....no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and then all of them end up crying on my lap and hugging me......and I end up crying too.....sigh....

Oh gosh...this is not my first delivery, it's my forth time, for crying out loud! But this time it's different. Before this, I normally gave birth at my kampung, and I don't have to worry about my boys while I was in the hospital. But this time, nay...we would be on our own...it will be just me, Teddy, the boys and my new baby...it's going to be tough, but I pray that Allah would ease everything for us.........



and I wonder if the great generals ever cried with this touchy issue................

Having A Braxton

Recently I am always having a Braxton.


Nope...I'm not talking about Tony Braxton although I must state here that I love Tony Braxton's songs...well, this had opened up a floodgate to my own memory lane...let me see....I remembered Tony's hits - Un-break My Heart, How Could An Angel Break My Heart...etc etc

Gosh those were my heartbreak songs,back when I was young and innocent...


I remembered how I used to play those songs over and over again, and crying myself to sleep over that sorry excuse of a guy! Talk about being young and dumb and clueless...sigh....

And Ms Braxton got such a beautiful voice, and a crazy, sexy beautiful body that she flaunts freely..........




Damn, she's got a beautiful bod....maybe I should put a rating to my blog....oh la la....


Whoops. There I go again, cakap keluar tajuk, dah sampai ke Laut Artik.....sorry, boys n girls!!!!

Now let's get back to topic. It seems that I'm always having a Braxton now. For the ignoramus, I'm talking about THE Braxton Hicks contraction. Here's something from Wiki...

Braxton Hicks contractions, also known as false labor or practice contractions are sporadic uterine contractions that usually start around 6 weeks however are not usually felt until the second trimester or third trimester of pregnancy.^[1]

So every now and then, I would feel this sharp cramp in my tummy.

And although I am still high like a kite with my chocolate addiction, this Braxton Hicks contractions bring me back to earth. It is like a big, giant warning to me. A red alert, so to speak. And hell, I respected that alert. It is boss...

And it took me down my memory lane of labor rooms and labor pains and I started to panic that I forgot how to breathe............gasp...aku kurang oksigen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And so I reached down for another bite of Snickers, Kit Kat, Cadburry's, Cloud 9 and my other chocolate friends to comfort me...sigh....

Confession : I'm Having An Affair

Yes. I am having an affair. A lusty, full of secrets love affair. Well, actually I am rekindling my long lost affair with my old flame...

My first meaningful encounter was in my teenage years.

And I remembered every moments like it was just yesterday...

I remembered the first time I encountered C (yes, for reason of anonymity, let's just call it C)....The first time I touched C.....sigh....it was ectasy....it was soooooo deeply satisfying, it was everything that I expected it to be, and I was simply hooked to C after that. Addicted, hooked, enslaved....

And back then, I know C is bad for me, but I just couldn't help it. It was like a forbidden love, yet it was so exciting ! But as I grew older, I learned to control my desire, and so I kicked C out of my life, although not completely. Once in a while, I still bow down to my desire, and rekindle my romance with C.

As now...sigh...


C came back into my life with a vangeance, making every lost moment count. And I was helpless, powerless to fight C's magnetism, so once again I let myself to be swept off my feet and let C satisfy my basic desire....

Ummmmmmmmmmm...C is still marvelous. One forbidden bite again, and I am deeply satisfied. It is a lustful feeling. I love C and I simply must have C everyday...yes, as we say it in Malay, hari-hari mau!!!!!!!!


I simply love the dark, velvety sensation of C in my mouth. Feels like heaven! Oh yes, yes yes !!!!



And my husband Teddy knows about my fling with C, and he doesn't mind it at all.......













Why should he mind ? We are soooo open what....



After all, C is my lusty love affair with Mr Chocolate!!!!


Again, I blame my pregnancy hormone for awakening my long asleep cravings for chocolate....

OK, I gotta go....gotta to rekindle my lusty affair with chocolate....
