We went to watch a movie with Mia last night. We have started bringing her to the movies ever since she was 1 year old. But once she turned 2, we have yet to bring her to a cinema. Especially since she started talking non-stop. So, we took a gamble yesterday. We went to GV Yishun and wanted to watch Tropic Thunder starring Ben Stiller and Jack Black. We went to the ticketing office and told the girl what we wanted. She looks incredulously at us and asked, "Is she going in too?" With which we answered yes. "It's an M18 movie. She will not be allowed into the theatre!"
Damn! We forgot about the rating. My darling said my baby would not be able to understand anyway but the girl looked at us as if we were crazy and said no. Since there are no other movie to watch, we had to watch High School Musical 3!
Initially, we were quite apprehensive about bringing Mia to the movies. Afraid that she would start talking and making comments just like when we watch tv at home. While waiting for the door of the theatre to open, she was super hyper. Running, dancing, singing, jumping and we almost did not want to bring her in.
Luckily, the moment we went in, she mellowed. My angel really behaved herself. In fact, there is this couple behind us who kept talking during the movie. You would not even notice that there was a 2 year old in the theatre. So proud of my baby!!

7th Month Checkup
Again this post is overdue...will be going for my 8th month checkup this Saturday, hehe...
Anyway, the 7th month checkup was good. My weight increased by 2.5kg, must be because of all the lontong, rendang and kuih consumed during the Hari Raya period...Dr Lee commented on my weight increase, hehe and he said baby must be about 1.2kg since it's already 7 months...luckily during the scan, my baby's weight is 1242g, so the growth is normal, alhamdulillah....
I noticed something weird, during the fasting month, I did not feel faint. In fact, I feel energised and could even do housework and bake my cookies...but after Hari Raya, I have been feeling weak, having fainting spells and even fell sick (still coughing, actually). I am guessing it is because of the Herbalife supplements.
During the fasting month, I religiously took Formula 1 for sahur every morning together with my Aloe, Multivitamins and Omega3. Then Hari Raya came and the schedule becomes haywire. I only took Formula 1 like once a week, sometimes did not take at all. I miss my Multivitamins and Omega3 on a number of occasions. My Aloe was also neglected and as a result, my heartburn came back.
So now, slowly getting back the routine...taking my Formula 1 every morning, well, started again yesterday...hopefully my energy will come back and my cough would stop...

Post Raya review
Here are more pictures taken during Hari Raya...actually, I don't really like taking photos so that is why it is kind of limited.
Mia with Athirah under Kak Pet's block...Athirah with her heels...like makcik-makcik, hehehe....cute especially with the 'jewellery'....
This is the green outfit was the one which we bought on the eve of Raya. We got this whole family set for just $120. Good bargain, I think as compared to having it tailor made...
My hubby's side family outing. We went out on the Sunday and this was taken at my house after like so many shots. It was on a timer so me, kak yu and remi had to run to and fro just to set the timer, arrange the camera and run back to pose.
My Malay dancers coming over after practice....bergaya betul....more glamourous than the cikgu!

1st day Hari Raya
Here are the pictures....
Bermaafan di rumah mak....my pix can't be uploaded...censored, hehehe...very touching moment!
At Mak Eton's house. My parents with Wak Di and Mak Noi. This picture is taken after we savoured the delicious laksa....I could still taste it....
My 2 darlings...this is actually my baju kurung that I bought during the last 2 years raya. Surprisingly, still muat with my perut and all...we bought a similar colour baju kurung this year for Mia...
Mia with Kak Ita's kids...actually wanted to take together with Kak Yatee's kids but they had already gone visiting....
That's it for first day raya...actually, I forgot to bring my camera that day, of all days! These are photos taken using Adik's camera.

Pre-Hari Raya days...
I know Hari Raya is over but this post will be about the last few days of Ramadan...Well, exactly a week before Hari Raya, my mum was admitted to SGH for stomach ulcer! We were so worried especially when the doctor had not confirmed the diagnosis. Luckily, the ulcer is still small (about 2cm) so surgery can be avoided. If not, I could not imagine what Hari Raya would be like this year. Anyway, mum was discharged after 2 days. The only problem is she gets giddy after taking the ulcer medication. So, the morning of Hari Raya, she was not in the best of health. Despite that, we still go on our normal first day visiting....
The last 2 days before Hari Raya, my darling and I had more or less done with the cleaning and putting up of the new cushions and curtain. I also wanted to iron the Hari Raya clothes so that we would not be rushed on the night of Hari Raya. Before ironing, Mia came into the room and saw the new clothes. She was like all excited and keep saying, "Cantik!". So, we put the green one on for her. Guess what! She hated it the moment the cloth touches her skin. There were some lace material in the outfit and she protested saying, "Gatal!" She refused to put it on and would not even hold it near. We ran throughout the whole house trying to put it on her again. The next day, we tried again and she still refused, crying and running....so, on the last day of Ramadan, we had to go Geylang again to find another green outfit for Mia. This task is more daunting as we had to match that green with our current green outfit!
For those of you who had been to Geylang on eve of Hari Raya, you would know what's like. We actually thought of buying the outfit in Joo Chiat, but there were no more size for Mia so we still had to 'rempoh' the bazaar, reluctantly....anyway, after searching for hours...we somehow gave up trying to find a green outfit for Mia that matches ours...we bought a whole new set for the whole family!! So, in the end, Mia, my darling and me got a new green outfit (will post the photos soon)....raya sakan this year.....
we spent so much especially with the new cushion covers that was tailor made and new curtains for the whole house, we also tailor made 2 sets of outfits that cost like so much. My darling and I promised that next year, we would really need to tone it down...the only problem is, hopefully we will remember it next year, hehe...we keep saying it every year, but every year, we would be spending like crazy....aaaahhhh!!
