ARGGHHHH....

Yes... I know... such a gimmic that I have for the title. But the actual fact - that is what I want to do right now...

THE MAID

She just told me this morning that her relative had arranged for her to go back home this Saturday. WTF...!!!! Without consulting us at all...!! I gave her a piece of my mind, and for the whole day, I was disturbed by phone calls from her relatives, not to apologise, but to confirm that we are sending her to the bus station this Saturday. I've been in a foul mood (so to speak) and I really feel like shouting at her. Haven't she heard of "advanced notice" before????

THE PREGNANCY

I'm in my last month of the preganacy. As much as I'm excited to welcome the new addition to our family, I'm also bothered with the severe pain that I have on my back. It makes it very uncomfortable for me to sit or stand or walk or even sleep. Whenever I need to toss around in bed, I will have to moan and grab the edge of the bed for support. It is that bad. Making it worse, Afeeq usually wakes up 2-3 times at night for his bottle (used to be every 2 hours). And he usually shows his impatience by kicking things around me, and the nearest target would always be ME...!!! And Abang Iqie... he usually asks me to put him to bed and asks for his milk like 20 times before falling asleep (OK I'm exaggerating... may be for like 5 times only...). I have to get up that many times and hold the cup for him. Can you imagine the pain and the effort that I have to make to endure all those?

THE WORK

Last week, I started a project in a big company. The first few days went quite well with all the rapport built between my team and the other team members. But on the last 2 days of the week, the project director and the project manager came to tell me that they had issues with their project sponsor, hence, our team was booted out. They had to "deferred the project until further notice". What a clown... And on last Monday, we cleaned up our workspace.

THE CONCLUSION

Those are some of the things that caused my low blood pressure...!!

SNIPPETS

I've been neglecting this blog and for the same ol' reason. I'm caught in the web of corporate world. So... what has been going on in my life? Remember my entry on What a Busy January? Well... pretty much the same, but maybe with some more encouraging updates...

1. OF OUR NEW RIDE

In my last entry, I mentioed that we had postponed our search for the right ride. Well... because of a few reasons. But we made up our mind last 2 weeks to just go ahead with it and cross our fingers... So, we marched to a Honda showroom near Jalan Genting Kelang, and gnawed at the new Stream. Hubby was as excited as I was. Then, we made our choice and submitted whatever was necessary. And alhamdulillah, a few days ago, we were informed that everything went well and that we would be getting our new ride in 2 months' time...YuHoOoOOoOooooooOooOoOo..!!

2. OF OUR HELPER

Things have been good with the new helper although she still insists on going home. Abang Iqie and Afeeq have got used to having her around, so we don't have much tantrum from both of them around the house nowadays. But to get her home is very challenging indeed as the agent doesn't want to pick up our calls anymore. I've left thousands missed calls and numerous texts on her mobile. She just doesn't want to pick up, answer our calls, or reply our texts. What kind of person does that? We don't want to send our helper back on her own - she doesn't know her way around. We also don't want to be responsible if anything happens to her when she's alone travelling back home. Most importantly, we want a replacement before we send her back home. Hey... I'm due next month and we're going to move to the new house soon... what do you expect..!!

3. OF OUR NEW HOUSE

We've been to the new house a couple of times now, and we have started to buy the things needed for the renovation. We're going to get some other things this weekend too. I guess the renovation work will start soon. And I just hope that the house will be ready before I deliver my new baby... Crossing my fingers...!!

4. OF MY PREGNANCY

I'm in my final trimester now and due in mid of April, which is next month!! Hmmm... the anticipation...!!! Sometimes I just wish that this could be over as soon as possible. I have severe back pain and my blood pressure has dropped to 50. The doctor said that I could fall flat unconscious on the floor anytime if I'm not careful. I've had contractions, and yesterday morning was the longest and most painful one I got. That reminded me of what I would have to go through on D-DAY... Arghhhhhhhh...!!! Please pray for my safe delivery...
