A new korean drama by the hearthrob Kwon Sang Woo (stairway to heaven). Another tearjerker drama....hopefully not another bad ending like "Stairway to Heaven". I only started writing on this due to my mum who keep insists me to get the spoilers for this drama. I will update soon whether this drama is worth to watch or not and of course the ending review of the drama...hehe. Stay tune!

Pregnancy Anxiety!

Yes! I am officially 32 weeks which means I have entered my 8 months of pregnancy. Since entering my third trisemester, I have gained 14 kilos (pls tell me that is a normal weight gain), my feet and leg has bloated up (yup, i can't wear any of my old shoes) and I walk like a big penguin (similar like the adult penguin in Happy Feet). Other than that, I am happy that my baby is growing together with me...he is now 1.5 kilo and love to kick and punch in my tummy which means he is healthy and active as well. Furthermove, the good old placenta has moved up (recently was worried that i might have placenta previa where it is located at the bottom) and that the baby head has moved down ( no worries on breech pregnancy). Now the anxiety of giving birth is growing but I cannot wait to see my baby real soon. However, now I just have to go through the usual pregnancy discomfort like lower back pain (ouch!), ribs pain ( i think baby feet is kicking at it), sleeping discomfort, and need to go to toilet often (bladder now been squash). Other than that, i feel great...hehe....8 more weeks to go!

Our First Antenatal Class

Me and my husband attended our first antenatal class at Sunway Medical Centre last Saturday. At first I was a bit doubtful because it costs us RM200 plus RM10 for registration fee to enter the class. However it was a 4 session class...so another 3 more classes to go. After attending the class, it did clear a bit of my doubts and anxiety of pregnancy...thanks to the facilitator, Sis. Chong where she was quite passionate and gave comprehensive lectures about the subject. The first class was about a new beginning in pregnancy and how to do prenatal bonding with the baby.

Just a summary of the class, me and hubby came half an hour early so we waited and watch Mr. Bean on tv. Alex was disappointed lah when they off the tv to start the class....haha. Then Sis. Choong switch on a classical Mozart music which she says soothe the baby and make the baby intelligent. Well, at first i was a bit doubtful but then my baby starts to flutter around in my tummy...so i think Mozart does work (emm...i think my sis in law or my sis has a mozart CD somewhere). Then the class started, there were only 10 couples (for me smaller class is much better)...Sis Choong gave lectures using Power Point....and gave us lots of useful tips. The biggest tip was do not let the Confinement Lady bully us and take control of our baby (which i truly agree). She also state that there is no reason why we should not wash our hair for a month during the confinement (yes!!). After an hour of lecture, then we took a break for refreshment,...this to my pleasant surprise...they provide us fried rice, curry chicken and 2 types of kuih malay. Alright, this is really worth it...hehe. As usual me and alex are the first one to attack the food and the last one to leave the food....haha. Ok for me , understandable lah coz i am 7 months pregnant, i think for Alex...he is supporting me by eating together -gether lah. The last hour, she show us a video on that babies do form their personality early in the womb and a video on natural delivery through the vagina (alex face became a bit green after that ). Overall, it was a good session....but i think i got a bit of a backpain. I think they really should change the chairs. So I would recommend that first time parents should attend this antenatal class or from other places to prepare themselves...and they do give comprehensive handouts on everything related to pregnancy such as how to breastfeed, pain labour relief options, etc...If that still does not attract you...well at least they give satisfactory refreshments.

Recaps on my Favourite Reality Shows!

I have watched two nights in a row watching American Idol. As expected, it was funny and entertaining and the 3 judges still look the same; Paula, Randy (did he grow a beard or something) and Simon (still wearing his trademark plain t-shirt which i think looks good on him). As usual, Paula does not have much opinion and always agree to what Simon and Randy decide and for Simon i think he mellowed a bit this season. However, the word " Atrocious and wasting our time" still comes out..which i agree with him, some of the partcipants are really really bad.



Recap worth to mention for Philly Audition
  • a sparkly woman cursing bad words at Simon (I thought Simon put her down very politely and she over reacted when she came out of the audition). I think she just wanted to get popular by acting that way...I pity the animals if she does eventually become a vet.

  • The guy who wore the Jabba the Hut custome....haha....he even shaved off his chest hair for the judges. What was he trying to prove.

  • The creepy guy who composed a very creepy disturbing song for Paula. If i were the judges....I would have asked the security gate to kick him out when he started to use the &*%$ word. How does Paula sleep at night after hearing that creepy song...give me the shivers.

  • Of course there were good singers, for instance...this pretty lass who does martial arts, breed horses and does cage fighting (em...what is that??) was very good when she sang Amazing Grace.

Recap worth to mention for Texas Audition

  • The asian guy who wore a elaborated feather costume with Simon written on his hat. He told the judges that he adored Simon coz Simon name is everywhere on the media...haha...and he even created a song for them ( i think it was for Simon) called "My brothers forever". Quite a catchy song....even Randy and Paula (did she tried to dance ....looks like she lost her professional dancing moves) serenaded to his songs. A very nice guy and still adored Simon after he was rejected by him

  • The girl who can imitate all the singers voice like Britney Spear and Shakira. Wow she really sounds like Britney Spears. But she can sing on her own very well too. Thank goodness she got through to Hollywood


Ok...enough about American Idol, now I will give a brief recap on the Amazing Race Asia 2. Wow..this time my heart was really thumping for the Thailand team (Natassha and Paul). This time there was an intersection where 2 teams have to work together; Phillipine models team up with Singapore team, Malaysian with Malaysian team and Thailand have to wait for the married couple team who was behind 5 hours. I know I should be supporting the Malaysian teams but I am not a big fan of the dancing mums but i am okay with Vince's sisters. Thank goodness that Natassha and Paula got through...phew. Furthermore, i got worried when one of Vince's sister started to have memory loss after the 10m dive...that was scary. As expected...the models got first, the singaporean got 2nd, dancing mums got 3rd, vince sisters got 4th and hip hip horray, the best buddies girls in a nick of time arrived 5th. So the married couple got eliminated (terri and henry). Have to wait for next week

Can't trust Astro anymore...all they show is a rerun of the same movies. What am i talking about??...yes American Idol.

So tonight gonna put up my legs and watch the series. Oops...baby kicking inside again. Guess the baby is excited to hear about American Idol also....hmm...should I expose baby to the chilling sound of the Audition. Hehe...why not...guess baby always listen to mummy singing in the shower and no complain from there.
