A year ago I assumed I’d be celebrating the end of my 20s by partying.

But no.

I woke up with  a bloody flu! Unfuckingbelievable Murphy.  So I had to go to the clinic to get some meds.  It’s not the most joyful thing to do on your birthday I assure you.

The husband gave my gift at the stroke of midnight. That sort of made the flu bearable *sniff*  He got me the awesome awesome AWESOME Chloe perfume – I smell so luxurious with this

Oh my what can I say *bats eyelash* The man does have his faults but he did good by marrying me - that much I agree

With a flu, I couldn’t even go near my baby and had to rest the whole day. When the hubby got back in the evening, he got me this to cheer me up:

Btw, it’s been YEARS since he got me flowers so I told the whole world that the husband got me flowers for my birthday, and the baby got me that expensive perfume

He’s kidding (and he better!) about the ‘more kids’ part. We only want one!

He also came back with 4 large pizzas. My cousins later came over and we had a small do with my family and Baby Sairah in tow. My mom and sis also got me a cake from La Manila! I was dressed only in T-shirt and shorts hence no photos, understandably I felt like a little girl.

OH yea, bloody brilliant – the cake shop got my name spelt wrongly!

Now to distract y’all from counting the amount of candles (although the title post gives it away, DUH), here’s a cutie photo of my Baby – the one that got me the perfume that I SO SO love

Later that night I also found out that my number came out on Magnum. Although it was only the consolation prize, it still felt good that I won some peanuts (which is better than no peanuts) on my B’day, woohoo! I *think GOD might be saving the jackpot for me next year

It may have been a simple birthday do, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the whole wide world.

I’ll just push my big do for next year, ahem

This is our first dinner ‘date’  since giving birth

Restaurant of choice: California Pizza Kitchen. Only because I read somewhere they have the BEST Red Velvet Cake in town and I SOOO badly wanted to try it.

Unfortunately, there is no photo of the said best Red Velvet Cake in town because it was SOLD OUT! I think the husband was secretly happy about it because he couldn’t believe a slice cost RM22. Men just don’t know how to appreciate good desserts do they unless it’s the other kind?

It’s also been ages since I stepped into KLCC. Can’t believe the amount of new cut-throat shops that have cropped up since.

Totally in love with my chiffon top. The hubby called it a mummy top but I don’t care! 

Must-get-lion-mane-fixed-ASAP! It’s been over a year

Incase you’re wondering why is it so bright, we had our dinner at 6.30pm………for a good reason.

KUMAR was in town for the Kings & Queen of Comedy Asia!!

And I got to watch it with Nicole and Mimi

The poor husband was only there to buy me dinner and drop me off because someone was supposed to be in Australia but then decided not to go. The show was so packed that he couldn’t even get a ticket last minute so he did the next best thing: take a photo like as if  he was attending the show too :)

Which is a real pity coz it was such a HILLARIOUS show! Despite paying RM198, it was worth every single penny. I laughed so much that I was afraid for my C-Sect stitches. Which are fine btw.

Must thank the hubby for sponsoring the tix Looking forward to more comedy shows! Preferably sponsored ones

This absolutely melts my heart everytime I watch it (and yes I enjoy watching it in loop, EVERYDAY).

In short, this simple video makes my day and everything else well worth it (esp on days when it gets really tough and I’ll tell you why when the time comes).

We may not know each other well enough (Oh Hello Readers!), but I hope it will make and brighten your day too

I got to go to Port Dickson yesterday!!!

To celebrate my ‘freedom’ and the end of my confinement, my mom allowed me to tag with the hubby on a business day trip  (although seriously, it’s not much of a freedom when you’re about to turn 29 and actually have to get permission from your mom to go out!).  We left our Little Monster (yup that’s our loving nick for her!) at home and for once, I didn’t smell of pee, poop, vomit or milk (and in no particular order) the entire day. Just sweat coz PD was hot as hell.

HOT!

Dear GOD, please make us rich today coz the wifey’s birthday is just around the corner! I”m just saying

No freaking idea what’s he looking at…..

Or dreaming about either!

Little Monster was rather cranky in the morning throwing her lil tantrums and refused to sleep so I was REALLY afraid and felt a tad guilty for having my Mom and Sis babysit her even more than the usual. BUT thankful, she was VERY well behaved the entire day apparently which makes me wonder if she chooses to misbehave whenever I”m around? But now that I know she CAN behave herself when her mommy isn’t around, that only means I should go out more innit?

Since we heard the magic word (see bold words above), the hubby and I decided to divert to Mid Valley for a bit after our trip to get some things done.

LIKE a pedicure! (Minus the hubby coz he opted for a haircut instead which was very much due). Plus I think he’s a lil cheesed off that I just had to blog about our pedicure session and tell the whole wide world how he loved it, hehe.

I opted for the BRIGHTEST of bubble gum pink shade so it can keep me entertained and awake whenever I”m breast/feeding the baby coz it can get a bit boring down there. I got my pedicure done at Long Nail Studio in Mid Valley for RM50.

I was telling the hubby that when he gets super rich, we should seriously consider opening a freaking nail parlour coz it’s really good business. Even on a Monday, I got turned down by 2 different nail parlours coz they were full AND had to wait 20 minutes before I got served. I asked the pedicurist when is the best day to come (because I”m a mother now and pedicures are indeed a luxury and I have no time to wait  absolutely hate waiting) and you know what she said?

MONDAY!

Good thing she did a good job. Know who else looks sweet in pink?

My Little Monster!

Photo taken righttt before her second jab. No photos after coz yea, wasn’t a pretty sight with her wailing her tiny head off.

In 2 days time my confinement will be officially over! Wohooo.  I really am looking forward to that because I swear - confine me for another month and I will go absolutely insane!! My mom has been somewhat kind though – she allowed me to go for a spin in the car with the hubby TWICE. Oddly enough, everything just seemed so damn new to me.  I  was actually getting excited looking at the new establishments and roads that had cropped up while I was cooped up at home.  The simple joys I tell you. I can’t wait to catch a movie, hit the malls and do some shopping (I still haven’t lost all that weight, boo), get a pedicure and OMG – thread my damn bushy eyebrows!!! 1 month’s worth of damage  – you DON’T want to see how it looks like but if you must – think Brooke Shields. Back then.

I MISS MY HUSBAND! Well okay not literally coz he’s still around :D  But ever since being on confinement, I’ve been sleeping with my baby and mom (and ocassionally Baby Sis will camp out with us) so there’s no time for Q-time except for in between little hugs and kisses. As much as I hate his snores, I actually miss having him sleep  next to me.  I miss having his stubby fingers wrapped around me!! Now that’s something to look forward to – the Q time, not his snores.

A newborn IS a 24/7 job! Don’t let anyone else  trick tell you otherwise!

Yup, funny how people won’t tell you this. They talk about the joys and happiness that comes with it. Which is all very true but what they somewhat decide to omit is how tough it is taking care of  a newborn. You will need help no matter what (esp if you’ve had a C-Sect). Sairah rarely slept the first two weeks and here I thought newborns were supposed to sleep 16 hours a day??? The first two weeks were indeed tough for all of us. It’s always changing one nappy after the other (my baby can get 4 nappies changed in the span of 4 minutes coz she pees that much!), feeding  followed by burping her (and sometimes she just refuses to burp), then there’s the case of her drinking too much which caused her to throw up (and it has happened quite a bit already!) . My baby also loves to cry right before she goes to sleep. My mom says it totally reminds her of me when I was a baby. Sometimes she just cries demanding for the breast for some comfort sucking (and this is right after a full feed) that we had no choice but to get a pacifier since the boobs will not be at home in a month’s time! Even in her sleep right now she has the sucking motion going on. Probably dreaming of milk and her mommy’s breast? 

I know I wouldn’t survive a day without my mom and sis who are ALWAYS there for me and the baby. Having a C-Sect sucks! It somewhat paralyzes your ability to take care of your newborn because of all that pain. I’ll blog more on that soon, for now let me just ‘enjoy’ the last 2 days of my confinement before I get to scream F R E E D O M!
