Jumble of Thoughts - Hello April n Week 38!

It's the beginning of April and my week no. 38.. The month full of anticipations.. huhuhuhu.. Nervous energy just grows stronger each day closer to 15th of April.. And after witnessing my "bloody show" a couple of nights ago.. I am sure to be a lot more nervous as everybody's keep pointing "IT IS TIME.." huhuhuhu..

What happen after spending quite a while in the toilet (I'm experiencing hard to pass episodes at 3rd trimester) I noticed a "red blob" on the bathroom floor.. It looks like a blob that I usually having when I'm just about to start my menstrual period.. (I apologize in advance if this sounds gross to you guys out there..) An easily panic such as myself would naturally screaming in the bathroom and go "Oh my goodness! what the heck is that??" and cause my husband to bang on the door anxiously.. (sorry hubby.. :-D ) Upon some internet research and also checking with Mom and Aunt, I can conclude that it is what usually called "bloody show".. A term used to describe a passage of small amount of blood or like my case a blood-tinged mucous through vagina at the end of the pregnancy.. This is also indicates as the common signs of labor.. *GASP*

Both my husband and I were planning to do a check-up on the next day but unfortunately all the Bintulu's clinic had closed.. Yup.. closed on weekends.. I wonder how would a person who's happen to get very sick on the weekends get his/her medication on weekend? Going to the hospital that is about 10miles away which later on has to wait for about 2-3 hours before get served? Hmmmmmmm.. :-/ 

So.. Instead of going to the clinic that day, my hubby takes me to a sweet treat.. I'm always having a crave for sweet things at my 3rd trimester and during that hot day, I wanted something sweet and cool..something that called  Riverfront Sago Special! 

What it is , is a mountain of shaved iced loaded with fresh fruits, red beans, sago, (tapioca) coconut milk, coconut ice-cream with a side of "gula apong" (a thicken liquid of brown sugar).. Oh I tell you it is indeed HEAVEN! 

The beauty~ oh gosh.. looking at this photo makes me drool.. 

Okay.. I bluffed.. I crave other things too besides sweet food.. :-D But that fried rice there is not mine.. it's my hubby's.. :-D 

.... miss my hubby when I saw this picture.. I just send him to the airport for his Microstation course in KL for a week.. well.. almost a week.. for 5 days.. I don't know.. perhaps because it draws near to my deliver date so I felt teary when he's away.. I just hope that the baby does not decide to go out before her papa is away in KL.. huhuhu.. 

Pray for us both ya..?

I miss you Abang... T_T

Rainbow cuppies~!

Oh.. I completely forgot about this.. Last 2 days, I'm making a rainbow cupcakes!! They're actually for my niece's birthday on the 29th and I thought since I have lots of free time in my hand , why not baked her some.. 

I used my friend's white chocolate cake recipe for this.. Although the cake doesn't have the right amount of white chocolate taste (probably to insufficient amount of white choc. added in the batter, thanks to the skeptical me) and somehow quite watery batter , it turns out alright.. I even have compliments from my husband Moushie, who btw doesn't hold for sweet foods..

The recipe is as follows : 

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate,chopped

1/2 cup hot water

1 cup butter,softened

1 1/2 cups white sugar

3 eggs

1 cup buttermilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the 2 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.In small saucepan, melt 6 ounces white chocolate and hot water over low heat. Stir until smooth, and allow to cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, cream 1 cup butter and 1 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Stir in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. Mix in melted white chocolate.

The batter however is just plain white so feel free to use your creativity and imagination as to add colors to it.. Mine would definitely be RAINBOW ! ^_^

 Before frosting.. 

I tested it right after it's out of the oven.. Burned my tongue.. ....serve me rite.. 

 I have one last night..

 B for Best! :-D

It looks kinda shaky since I already lost all my skills in decorating cupcakes.. T_T

Lastly..  My favorite part! nom-nom-nom~ ah.. delicious!

Bye-Bye March.. T_T

Good Morning~ Ahhh.. I just have a very satisfied breakfast.. :-D

It's the end of March.. also the end of my 37th weeks period.. Which btw puts all the butterflies in the world in my stomach right now thinking how close it is to my delivery due date.. The belly's growing heavily by the day.. Getting tired so easily & sleepy are just an understatement.. I barely doing housework without gasping for breath even it means just doing the dishes.. Even walking to the toilet seems laborious to me.. >o< ..never thought pregnancy was this challenging.. huhuhu.. (well, hugs to all MOMS out there)

I just finished playing one of the Mystery Case Files series "13th Skull".. For me it's the best so far after Return To Ravenhearst.. The puzzles are relatively solvable compared to the previous installment : Dire Grove which for me lack of characters and interesting puzzles.. I gotta give the writer of this 6th Installment of Mystery Case Files a round of applause for its unexpected ending.. Truthfully I never have expected it.. ;-) If I have a choice, I would've bought the original CDs for this game (for its special features and stuff) but again, I'm an avid download junkies and buying CDs would actually not for me (unless it's worth it) This game is definitely a keeper for those "Hidden Objects" game junkies.. 

As for the latest series of the Mystery Case Files : Escape From Ravenhearst , oh, don't get me started on that subject.. A total disappointment! I know that the developer would like to make a difference (surprise elements I guess) in this new and perhaps the final chapter of the Ravenhearst series by completely changing the way the players find the hidden objects and not to mention the upgraded graphic , which btw is sooooooo UNNECESSARY.. I mean who the heck would need stunning graphic for a Hidden Object game??? It's completely OVERRATED! So , yeah.. I ended up uninstalling the game after 30mins of frustration over slowed-performance-over-giant-graphic-detailed problem.. Thumbs down for Escape From Ravenhearst.. >_< You , sir really turns the smile upside down.. 

** now looking forward for the latest Nancy Drew - Tomb of the Lost Queen..  The pre-order will started this 3rd of April!! Nggggggggggg~! Hope I manage to get my hands on this next month... **

Waaaaaaaaaaa~!!! So unfair!

Silence Thursday #1

 

Bravo to you my Brotha~ You're the man!

DIRECTORS : Are you run out of Ideas already???

 POP QUIZ : What are these pictures have in common..?

I am sicked~ No, not talking about in physical terms but rather emotionally.. I've gotta rant about this new trend in TV series / film about a novel adaptation.. Not that I have any beef with some director/producer who appreciate a good novel and trying to bring it to life, but guys , you gotta chill out.. Honestly I get pretty much annoyed when I turned on a tv and there's every single drama you could find in every channel that were adapted from a certain novel..

That's not all, every dramas/films .. I mean EVERY single one of them kinda share the same storyline.. A couple united in arranged marriage who were at each others' throat then find their romance and then were crushed by a 3rd-wheel and finally reunited again at the end... Seriously?? Like all Malaysian directors are lost for their own ideas and originality already?? It's just soooooooooooooo cliche! We've seen that already! MOVING ON PLEASEEEEE!!!!

A message to directors out there who planning on their next movie / drama on a novel adaptation , please.. PLEASE refrain yourself from using a reference (novel) that has the same storyline , the same plot, the same ending as mentioned above.. We are so over it! (I AM..)

* But I loveeeeeeeeeee Nora Elena.. huhuhuhu..*

You're under arrest, Nancy!

 Oh Nancy.. what have you done..?

*gasp* whattt?? Nancy being arrested??? Yup.. In its 25th installment, Herinteractive has brought an exciting perspective in Nancy Drew game where the game revolves in finding the culprit with the help of her trusted friends , in her hometown .. while being captive.. :-D Sounds quite handful rite..? 

Before downloading this , I read a few reviews about the game and a lot of them are pretty grumpy with the fact that the game doesn't provide an efficient length and most of them solved it in under 3-4 hours average.. (Woooooo.. lucky them!) I try my best not to get affected and stay clear-headed (without bias) and play it on my own terms.. 

And what do you know.. I actually LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it! Although I can't see the real Ned (uh, I bet he's helplessly gorgeous..) but I thoroughly enjoy being him in the game.. As well as both Bess and George.. but George wasn't really "functioning" efficiently in the game because for me she doesn't have necessary "charm" that both Bess and Ned have to "dig" the dirt of the River Heights community.. :-P But I like her though for being there for Nancy.. 

Okay, I lay down the things I like for Nancy Drew - Alibi In Ashes : 

• The storyline and plot were actually very good.. You couldn't keep guessing who's the real culprit until you're in 3/4 of the game.. (at least I am..) 
• Puzzles are relatively varied from solvable to quite hard.. :-D 
• You've got to see Nancy's bedroom! I love it! She did keep it pretty neat! (oh, a spoiler.. you have to read Ned's letter to Nancy.. So SWEET!) 
• There are various characters with different personalities and definitely different motives in the game..
• This is the first time in the game that you have to actually switch protagonist in order to gain information from the suspects..

There are not so much that I didn't like about the game.. The fact that I can't explore River Heights more (can't go to the park or hit the mall.. ) is a bummer.. I think Herinteractive should at least include may be one extra features where player can relax in the mall or at the park to chill.. Also, they should have made George more interact-able.. Huhuhuhu.. I know she's a hard gal and all but she gotta has her own charm right? 

So.. that's my review for the latest Nancy Drew.. I give it 8 and a half stars out of 10.. ;-) Worth downloading it.. And now awaiting for the next installment coming this April : Tomb of the Lost Queen.. I love it when we going abroad again and now it's going to be in Egypt! Mummies , encrypted messages in holographic , curses.. Very intriguing! CAN'T WAITTTTT!!!!

Looks like we're going to experience some "The Mummies" scene! :-D

Hello 9-months..

Helloooooo 9-months pregnancy.. huwaaa.. only a few more weeks (or perhaps days) to go.. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nervous right now.. I didn't expect it to be this quick >_< After all, hearing all those "scary" experiences from few mommies I met kinda put my spirit to the test.. especially knowing that I'm entering the most crucial trimester of all.. 

It's raining outside and pretty much bleak and gloomy.. And how it contribute to the "lonely" feeling right about now.. *sigh* I miss my nephew , Haiyan Rayyan so much! Mom and dad were away yesterday to KL to bring him back to my elder sis.. (and not to mention that I actually get really teary after sending them to the Boarding room) Oh, well.. I'm just gonna wait until Hari Raya to meet Rayyan..  But at that time he's already turning 9-month-old.. I doubt that he's gonna recognized his "God-Mother" anymore.. *sob..sob..*

Turning 8-9 months of pregnancy, I'm having a realllllllllllllllly difficulty in sleeping.. I was up to approximately 5-6 times every night to pee.. Thank GOD that I'm not working at the moment or I'll be in the office with a panda-eye for sure.. Furthermore , I think my baby is most active during the night , which got me concern over some fact I heard that if the baby is active in mommy's belly during the night, he/she will most probably going to make you stay up at night as well when he/she's outside.. Huwaaaaaaa.. don't tell me I'm gonna have another sleepless night episodes after this~ 

Okay fellas.. That's it for now.. I'm gonna hit the sack.. I need a healthy dose of sleep otherwise I'm gonna get grumpy-crabby afterwards.. which is not good.. :-D 

*xoxo everyone*
