Thinking of having another Baby...what say you all???

I don't know lah....this past few days I've been seriously thinking of getting pregnant again and moving on to my second child. I think my daughter is at a stage where I'm sure she will be able to cope with a little brother or sister.

Hmmm...than again, I think it could be my hormones being all upside down because I'm PMS-ing that I feel like I want another child...OR it could be that I've been a round my friend Kath all the time that makes me feel like I want to get pregnant...hahaha...Kath if you're reading this, I'm not blaming you for anything...haha...I always love hanging out with you :D

So, how now brown cow??? (If only I had a brown cow, it probably would have some kind of answer for me...haha:P) Sigh....I'm in total conflict with myself...haha...Maybe I should just go ahead and get pregnant since I'm still young and only going to turn 30 next year. But I know wanting to have a baby, and having to go through the whole process of having sleepless nights are two very opposite things. I guess the question I have to ask myself is, 'Am I ready for sleepless nights or not???'

Sigh....I'M NOT SURE!!!! Hahaha...My wanting-to-have-a-baby-at-the-moment seems to be stronger than whether I'm ready for sleepless nights or not...hahaha...I guess I'll have to ask myself this question again in a few days time...when my hormones are settled!

Haha...damn! it's not easy being a woman!!!

This is what I miss...a small little bundle to carry around and to love :P This is Sera when she was a few hours old, almost 3 years ago....sigh...time sure flies!!!

Ta for now!!!

I SAW DOLPHINS in MIRI WATERS!!! Woohoo!!!

So I'm back!!! Hahaha...sorry lah....sometimes have to be busy also bah....not every time free as a bird....kan?

Anyway, am really looking forward to THE AMAZING RACE ASIA 3 tonight...I seriously do hope Ida and Tania wins....fingers cross!!! :D

Ok, so I'm suppose to actually blog about Dolphins since last week...but suddenly out of the blue I became busy....so today I'll write about it lah :P

Well you see, a few weeks back, Gianna, the person-in-charge of the dolphin research programme in Sarawak gave me a buzz and ask me whether I was free to go to Sea and see whether we get to spot any dolphins. It was pretty last minute but I was as free as a bird at that time so I said, sure thing.

So the next day I woke up earlier than usual, got my daughter ready and sent her to the babysitter and rushed to the Piasau Jetty. Since it was pretty last minute I didn't get any motion sickness pills...so I prayed really hard that the sea would be calm. Good thing it was!!! So no vomiting on my part...phew :).

Gianna said it would be our lucky day today cause its just the two of us (of course plus the boatman and his assistant)...so I said "YAH! it should be our lucky day!!!" Obviously I was very excited about the whole idea of spotting a dolphin that day.

We left the Jetty at around 7.30am and headed out to sea towards the Baram side. We headed out towards where the fishermen were so we could talk to them first and ask them whether they've seen Dolphins. Apparently they do, and they see it on a very regular basis. That particular fishermen said he even saw a couple of them just a few minutes ago...and that was pretty depressing for us cause that meant that we just missed them. He said that if we stayed a bit longer we might have a chance to see them. Unfortunately, if we did so, it we affect the research route...so instead of staying we decided to move from them but and continue on our route.

The fisherman who gave us the information about the Dolphins....he was catching small prawns :D

So there I was again, staring into the open blue/brown sea. It was ok, the first couple of hours, but than the hot sun and the cold wind kind of made it hard for me to keep my eyes open. Thank goodness I had my ever so trustable (I know that there is not such word but I like that word, so I'm using it...:P) somboi!!! Hahaha...that did the trick in keeping me awake.

At around 10am (if I'm not mistaken), Gianna spotted a Finless Porpoise, she first thought it was a log, but than she saw it came up and went back down. Than we all turned towards the area she was pointing but sadly it didn't come back up again, so she couldn't take any picture of it. I was of course disappointed cause I would have loved to see a finless porpoise...I mean in all my life, I've only seen a bottlenose dolphin which are the normal dolphins which we see on tv that does tricks. Oh well, so much for my luck.

This is what a finless porpoise looks like...see...no fin! :D. (Picture taken from http://dolphins-world.net/image/guide/sunameri/finless_porpoise.jpg)

BUT!!! Another two hours later around 12.20pm, Gianna spotted a family of bottlenose dolphins....woohoo!!! Even though I've seen them before, it was the first time I've seen them in our Miri waters and I was ecstatic!!! Hahaha...yes, small things like this makes me happy. Note that Gianna was the one who spotted the dolphins again.....haha...this just proves that I'm pretty useless in spotting for them....hmmm...I wonder whether they'll consider bringing me out again to spot Dolphins in March...hahaha. Anyway, we all turn towards where she was pointing and I was happy to see them come up and go back in the water again. According to Gianna, they were probably feeding, as in chasing after fishes for them to eat :D. There were like 15 to 20 of them...very hard to count as they all came up and different times. It was a whole family, which probably consist of grandparents, parents, and children.....soooooo ADORABLE!!!! That just made my day!!!! We stood there looking at them for quite awhile and Gianna manage to take a few pictures.

Obviously, when things like this happen, I usually somehow always manage not to bring my camera....sigh....WHY!!! I also don't know why....but Gianna did send me some pictures. Pictures as below:

Sorry that the dolphins were a bit far....it was not easy to catch this pictures as we didn't know when they would come up to the surface....well, better than nothing right?

Another picture....

After that we went on looking for some more Dolphins but than it started to rain so we headed back to the Piasau Jetty. I was wet...but I couldn't care less about it cause I SAW DOLPHINS!!! Hahaha....and our day ended at 2pm, and it was a good day and we were indeed lucky!!! Did I mention that when I was out in the sea, all I could think of was to eat Tom Yam and Midin Belacan??? Hahaha...so mengidam at that time....and NO I'm not pregnant...not yet...maybe next year lah...see how :P

Ok than, that's it from me for today! TA!!!

WELCOME TO MY WORLD: BBQ, Beach and Hiking...in the following order...:D

My story continues.......:D

Saturday - 01st November 2008

Woke up really early in the morning to send my daughter to the babysitter and rushed off to church cause it was All Saints Day. After church, me and my mom went to the Cemetery in Lambir to visit my dad's grave. You know, I think they seriously need to tar the road to that place....its so terrible!!! Anyway, it was good to go there cause we haven't been there for a very long time. Its also nice to know that the place is very well kept. :D

In the afternoon, had a thanksgiving BBQ at a friend's place which my husband was the BBQ Chef. Did I ever mention to you all that my husband is one fantastic BBQ-er!!! So far in my whole existence, he is the bestest of the best....he does it with such ease and it never turns black!!! That's why I love him sooooo much...hahaha....I guess that's the reason why I married him :P Don't tell him that :D

After the BBQ and the sitting around and lepaking, we left our friend's house at around 6.30pm. Then I got my very exhausted little girl to shower, got her into her PJ's, fed her and got her to sleep. At 9pm went over to Len's and Alison's house to play scrabble....haha...I guess we all just wanted a quiet day in instead of the usual clubbing scene :P. We are not getting any younger I suppose :P. We played till 1 am.

Sunday - 02nd November 2008

Went to church as usual, than had breakfast at the usual place....sigh, I'm beginning to think that we are so predictable...hahaha....after that, got home and lepak and put the little girl to sleep for her afternoon nap. When she woke up at around 3.30pm, we all got ready to go to PBC for a day out at the beach with Len's family....it was a fun-filled-under-the-sun-sunday. The kids played in the water and tried to build a sandcastle and made sand balls :D. Than we had dinner and the kids attacked the playground. Seriously, I have no clue where they get all their energy from. Anyway, we left at 7.15pm. We got the cue to leave when Len's daughter started crying cause she fell down. And on the way to the car my daughter fell down cause she wanted to follow her dad to the toilet and ran....and she started crying as well....haha....so we had two crying kids on our hand. Plus the fact that they had used up all their energy and were extremely tired....and when that happens, you tend to get kids who will not stop crying...hahaha....because they become super manja already :P.

Sera and Christian at beach making balls out of sand....:) I'm trying to sound as un-obscene as possible...haha...if there is such a word.

Merdeka!!! Well, who knows what she's thinking...

The beautiful young moms!!! Adeeehhh....hahaha.....I seriously mintak puji this one :P

The sun has set and the sky looks beautiful :) Doesn't it??? The wonders of God!

So we got home, I showered the little Sera and she was in no mood to shower so she basically cried throughout the bath....poor girl. Somehow I manage to brush her teeth and get her into her PJ's. Finally we were all settled down and she fell asleep in the living room cause that's where we are sleeping at the moment :(....yes, the air-con is not back yet cause they are waiting for the spare part to come from KL :(. This is taking forever!!!

Anyway, after putting her to sleep....I also KAPUTED :D. Yeslah...I showered also when I showered her....I very multi-tasking one....well you have to be when you have kids.... :D

And that's what happens on Saturday and Sunday :D Now on to Monday :)

Monday - 03rd November 2008

The very first problem I had that morning was my daughter didn't want to go to the babysitter...so after so much persuasion she finally gave in. So got her to the babysitter and I got myself to work. After work, me and Syl went Hiking at Canada Hill....YES! my 5 day plan to lose 1kg...hahaha.

I tell you ah, I was so semangat and I told Syl, lets do the 5 hills and lets do it jogging!!! Wiseh man!!! Me ingatlah me macam superwoman lah...hahaha...and after completing the two hills and going up the second hill, I was like "WHY NEVER END WAN????", "WHERE IS THE LIGHT???", "AHHHHH! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!" ....and when we finally completed the 2nd Hill I had enough!!! hahaha....I told Syl to go on and I will take the short cut out (Thank goodness for the short cut!!!). And that's just what I did....hahaha...seelah...talk only banyak but when do...almost die!!! Kononlah I thought I was FIT...apparently I am SO NOT FIT!!! :P My muscle in my thighs were super aching and my when I slept that night...my bum pun pandai cram!!! hahaha...such a weird feeling....

Anyway, my muscles were still aching yesterday but I did go again yesterday...this time it was much better. Wanted to continue on with the other hills but Syl had to rush somewhere so we didn't have enough time. We are going again this Friday and I'm going to complete all 5 hills....screw the muscle pain...I know I can do it :P....jangan-jangan I say now and tomorrow I tidak habis lagik....hahaha...oh well...nothing like mentally preparing myself :D. As for today....I'm going jogging later....got to be more fit for the hills :P. Apalah lagi if I want to go climb Mount Kinabalu??? Probably need to get those runners who run up and down the mountain to carry me up....hahaha.....sedih-sedih :P

So that's my 5 day plan to lose 1kg...will let you know on Saturday whether it was a success. Btw, I have yet to talk about Tuesday (04th November 2008), cause that's another topic altogether...and that will be what I'll blog about tomorrow :D.

Till tomorrow....TA!

It has been a very exciting few days!!! Despite someone saying that I'm fat, either than that, it's been exciting :D I guess my life isn't so boring after all :P.

FRIDAY - 31st Oct 2008

Rush back from work to pick my daughter up from the babysitter, than got her ready by 5.30pm for her trick-or-treat session. She was so excited cause she got to wear her so called princess costume which turn into a fairy costume cause I just realise that princess does not have a wand...haha...go figure...I'm so DUH! sometimes :P. But than I didn't have wings so decided she go as a wingless fairy....FORTUNATELY, Alison had a pair of wings in her house :D Here's a few picture of the kids and their Halloween trick-or treat-ing :D.

Sera the fairy :D

Lets see...we had woman in black, spiderman, superman, batman, a pirate which hasn't been dressed up yet (the boy with the stripe baju), we had a persecutionist (I don't think there is such a word, but I'm sure you get what I mean, and I think that was what he was...haha...correct me if I'm wrong), a princess and a fairy!

Hmmm...not sure why they are closing their ears...Sera did it first than Ethan followed :P...so cute!
