Pusat Sains Negara

It was an impromptu plan since we were not doing anything today..

It's free admittance for all until 16/2/12.. So we decided to go.. Free maaa hehehhe knowing that kids maybe too young to appreciate it!

We reached there around 12.30pm, and parked outside where the signboard shows "Tempat letak kereta untuk Pusat Sains Negara", it's across the centre and connected by a sky bridge.

Anddddd... We, esp yours truly had to 'climbed up' the slope to get to the building and it really killed my back grrr... Then we saw a 'parking space for visitors' near the building entrance.. cis cis cis!!!

Sampai dalam tu, i met my ex-colleague, but she's done touring the centre... So, inside we went & touring all sections... The 'water section' was interesting with big arched aquarium welcoming us!!
Then, 'wind section', 'light section' bla bla bla.. Err i wasnt too interested in physics though hehehe.. Kids just play along.. For them it just fun! Then we went to other sections -- learn about tumbuhan, cells, body parts, our 5 senses etc... We spent some time in the kids playzone, but we didnt enter the 'kids world', cos it almost 2.30pm and we wanted to catch the adventerous ride in another building.

Unfortunately, no pregnant ladies, and kids below 4 feet height is allowed... So here i am blogging while waiting for DH & Fatini huhuhu... Luckily this lobby is airconditioned and have some games for the kids to play with.. Kalau tak sure melepak dlm kereta gamaknye huwarghh...

Pasni nak gi Ikea lah... Alang2 dah dekat sini.. (ehh dekat ke ek?? Heheh)

21 weeks

this week baby is 21 weeks old...

it kicks mummy real hard and golek2 happily inside...

alhamdulillah i have no more sickness at any time.. i can cook as usual... i can sit and sew for hours (and complained of backache later)....

i sleep well (except for few sleepless nights during holidays due to sewing -- tu sendiri carik pasal!!), baby not bothering mummy much at night (err not yet i believe, but i pray she (at this point consider it is SHE je lah hahahhahah we still donno the gender!!) will behave well, intrauterine and postnatally insyaAllah...

i am on Obimin, but missed most of my pills (err i always missed 'em in the morning so i changed my dose at night, still not compliant la aiyoo... how ni??)

still no cramping at night (but i do experience this 'pre-cramping' episodes, so i better start taking my calcium now... it really painful if it occurs huhuhu)..

apa lagi?? i'm quite busy at work preparing for students' exam questions and vetting (erkk i have tonnes of datelines huwarghhh) but as usual i'm a BIG procrastinator!!! isk...

now busy mau sewing plak.. isk isk isk..

ok, back to baby's story -- i'll scan the baby again in a month time i think.. but am still in dilemma whether to choose to continue my ANC in private wings or not... gotta choose a consultant for that matter... female OBGs are very limited aiskkk... but DH insisted to get female OBG, of cos laa... but i do prefer an experienced one, male or female (preferably female la!) hmm gotta think and rethink, consider and reconsider again and again...

new hobby??

Last 2 wks, i bot this new gadget for myself.. DH insisted to pay konon for my bday gift, but am gonna claim another thing for my bday gift fr him hihihi "tunggu ye laling..."

This is THE brothers Innovis50 or NV50 sewing machine..

I bot it on the 2nd last day of CNY promo which entitled me to get rm209 worth gifts... And tht cute sewing basket priced at rm99 only (PWP) and came with lotsa sewing stuff that really great for a beginner like me hihi.. It includes tailor scissors, snipper, needles, peniti, and bla bla bla tht am yet to learn their names lol...

So, wat was my 1st project???

Errr DH asked me to cut & sew his pants... Didnt sound like a real sewing project ehhh.. It's a mending project but he was so happy & said "finally i have hobi yg berpekdah (berfaedah)"... Ciss ciss ciss!!!

So for a real sewing task, I sewed a fleece blankie for baby -- actually it was an Ikea fleece blankie that i cut half for cd fleece liners, then this half to be converted to double layers baby blankie.. It was plain so i made some 'applique'.. An ugly one tho.. Lol...
And i sewed a cute pattern on its side.. They are cute but donno if baby really need it!!

I plan to sew either baby minky blanket or quilt blanket for my real 'baby project' heheheh.. Angan2 tinggi nih!! (but only after knowing this baby's gender so i can shop for a suitable fabric prints/colours --- i'm so hoping this is a girl for me *fingerscrossed*)

Nxt plan to sew Tote or sling bag for fatini, zippy wallet for fatini, fabric basket for me, boxy pouches, crayon rolls, dresses for my girl(?s), baju tido for my boys (easier kot?? Donno what can i sew for my boys iskk) and the list goes on...
Oh oh i wish to sew baju kurung for this raya (sempat ke nak belaja??) and tops for myself... Hehhehe...

Sokay, dream first and achieve 'em later insyaAllah...

Now, my free time is filled with browsing for sewing patterns/tutorials and experimenting them on the cheap (errr fabrics are not cheap okeh!!) fabrics... And join Geng mesin Jahit group on FB... Omg they are bunch of crazy and talented sewing mommies in there... How i wish one day i could really call myself 'good at sewing'... *sigh*

this is my new toy weeee.....

love it!!! parked it on my no-longer-use study table :D

it can sew alphabets --- so i can spell my kiddoes' name or anything!!!

mending project on the way..

P/S as to date, i have sewed quite a number of small stuff esp for the kids but am gonna blog about it separately.. So bear with me hehehe... I foresee this blog is turning into sewing blog LOL...
Even my frens are starting to hate me cos i hv new hobby instead of 'layan-ing' them on WA/tweet hahahah..
