This is my latest photo. I weigh 68kg now, 16kg extra... & I have the feeling I'm gaining more. The baby at 35th week weighs 2.4kg.& now I am approaching week 37. Guess, I just have to work hard to lose the extra weight after the delivery. Please... I need all the luck in the world!!
Here comes the school long break again. Glad that the girls understand, we cant take them for a holiday trip this year. I am almost due now & at my 36th week already. But they are happy enough to spend the break at my parents'. I will be staying with my parents for awhile once the baby comes out. At least until the school hol ends.Right... back to the title. My elder girls, Yasmin & Wardah did great in their final exam. Hubby & I are so proud of them. Wardah scores 95.5% & is 3rd in her class. Yasmin maintains her 1st position with 97.7%. Wardah wants a laptop for a reward. Can you believe that? That's my Wardah... My down-to-earth Yasmin is happy enough if we buy her a mechanical pencil. But we bought her story books that we know she loves & Wardah, instead of a laptop, we got her a few Barbie computer games cd-roms. That should do the trick if they ever get bored when Im busy tending to my new baby.
I know... I know... Been a couple of months again without any updates. Today, I suddenly have the mood to post something & I'm sharing the 1st look of my unborn child. Just look at the pose! Well... I'm getting another girl & that sure is a girl posing! No son for me yet & with 4 kids... I'm done.
I am at my 34th week. Doing well but the cramps are getting worse. The girls are waiting anxiously for the arriving of their new baby sister. Whenever they see me holding my tummy with an uncomfortable look, they'd sure ask "Is the baby coming out?" excitedly. I'm due Dec 15th but have a strong feeling, it will come out sooner than that. Balqis's kindergarten concert is on the 1st of Dec. Hope I will manage to catch that.
Today we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Malaysia's Independence Day. How grateful I am to be a Malaysian & more thankful that my children do not have to go through what our grandparents experienced in the olden days. Of course I won't fail to remind them of how tough it was before the independence. Together we pray that we will stay independent forever.... Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!
In conjunction with the National Day, the girls' school organized lots of activities for the students. Wardah took part in a choir competition & her class got fourth place for singing the "Jalur Gemilang" song. Way to go Wardah! Yasmin, on the other hand was voted by her classmates to represent her class in a poem recitation competition. Today the result was out. I could see her smiling away heading towards me when I fetched her up this evening. She won the the first place & was given the honour to recite the poem again today during the school's National Day celebration. What really made her proud & me even prouder was that the fact she composed the poem herself. The day she brought it home for me to read, I was really amazed that my daughter could write. Here is the original piece of her poem which she named "Merdeka!" (being free, independent). Of course there were spelling mistakes which I have corrected earlier.
Merdeka!! From 1957 till 2007, we're free!!Free from Englishmen,Free from Japanese,
So what shall we do next?Let's celebrate National Day!Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!
Let us celebrate 50 years of independence!Let us rule our very own country,What about calling our country "Malaysia"?Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!
We promise to be honest,We promise to learn well,We promise to respect the elders,But...Shall we promise to take care of your name?Yes, of course we do!Now we are telling you,
We are proud of you Malaysia,
Thank you Malaysia! Merdeka!
Yesterday, July 16th was hubby's birthday. We had earlier given him his gift.(Knowing my girls... once they knew there was a gift, it should be given straight away!) So on his birthday I thought there was nothing real special. He left very early for work & came back around 7pm. I knew going out for dinner would be a little bit tiring for him. In fact, the girls would want to tag along & it was not a weekend for them to stay up late.
Wardah asked me to bake something for papa. I am really not into baking nowadays. However, I've got an idea to kill two birds with one stone. The girls have been asking me to bake cupcakes & I decided to make the cupcakes as hubby's birthday cake. We surprised him with his birthday cake once he entered the house. Yasmin & Wardah sang birthday song to papa but I could only hear Balqis shouting "Aqis blow! Aqis blow!" It was real funny. Too bad I was holding the cake & could not shoot the precious, cute moment.
The birthday cupcakes. He loved it. Mentioned that it was something different. (But then complained the cupcakes were not soft enough..! )
Hubby with the girls. "Happy Birthday Papa!"
