Entry: So what's new? Monday, January 31, 2005



Yes, I admit I'm rather slow in sharing my rants nowadays. Thing is guys, (and girls -need to be politically correct here) if I do write something, I'm afraid I'll just drone on and on about my current state of queasiness, of (feeling like) fainting, of my puffy face, of my ever-growing belly (I blame this on my imagination cos it's impossible to have a bulging tummy at this stage, but never argue with a pregnant woman).. and of so many other boring things. Now just because yours truly is like this, it doesn't mean all of you lovely readers (hehe, my 'perasan' richter is higher than ever) must feel pregnant too. So being the understanding person that I am, I have resorted to keeping mum (hah, get it? keeping 'mum'?? Yeah.. not funny) about it.

Yesterday I spent the entire day doing a friend of my hubby's 'hantaran' platform. Hubby showed his colleagues our wedding pictures and this girl seemed interested on my 'hantarans' that she asked my favour to do hers. I absolutely enjoyed doing those stuffs that I agreed almost immediately. But I failed to take into account of my current state which has caused me to be, uh, slightly allergic to the smell of glue or anything remotely funny. Hence, I've only managed to do 3 platforms in the last *wince* week. Yep, am being a total unproductive nincompoop.. and the lady wants it all ready by the 8th. The eighth! I'd be so stressed out if it weren't for my mantra "think happy thoughts" to keep junior intact in there (or is it down there?).

Anyway, as I was busy sticking fabrics together and Hubby was watching the telly, my sister returned and brought home a delicious tart that an aunt made the night before. My growling tummy welcomed her offer that the minute she passed the tupperware to us, I scarfed up a few good slices. As I was about to munch the God-knows-how-many piece, I started to tease my sister, who's known to be the Simba in our otherwise straight-haired family, "Hey, look at this pineapple strips, it looks like your hair, minus the colouring, haha.." But half-way through my laughter, I choked on the realization -What? Pineapple?? I can't eat pineapple!! Panic-stricken, I sat jolted with eyes jutting out you'd think I'm an extra in 'Exorcist'.. Hubby took the remains of those delicious tarts from my fingers and ate them himself.. Sister on the other hand, sprinted to the kitchen, rummaged through the cabinets and decided, at that moment, that gulping loads of water may just do the trick. I knew at the back of my head that it has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but like the complete idiot that I've become, I drank all those liquids so fast I visited the loo for the next hour.

My mom laughed when we told her what happened later that night. She said it was quite fine, so long as they weren't 'young, yellowish pineapples' cos those are the ones which are 'tajam' and miscarry-induced.

Talk about over-acting. Hubby denied he was jumpy at all but we laughed when I reminded him how funny he looked trying to amend things by eating my tart leftovers so fast, as if, they would make my tummy feel better.

Aahh.. we get more paranoid than ever. But it's better to be safe than sorry aight?

Hahhaa.. How I wish that incident was recorded on video. Definitely funny.

Anyway, can you do my hantaran too? Don't worry... it's just booking. It might happen when you're having the 5th child. (or not at all...)
