And they're still growing...
"Omigawd!! Your boobs are so huuuuge! I can see your veins!"
"Tell me about it. Didn't yours grow this much when you were pregnant?"
"No, no, they didn't!"
Sigh...I miss my old boobies.
"You know, they won't go back to their old shape."
"I suppose they'll sag?"
"Well, somewhat."
Sigh...

Cramp
My right leg cramped up again in bed last night. Always happens sometime in the middle of the night or towards the morning when I try to stretch my leg. Almost yelled out in pain. Must remember to refrain from trying to stretch; instead of relieving tension, I end up with a killer cramp.
Managed to withstand the pain and stretch it out without having to wake up the other half. Am getting used to this. I have to; it's not that he will be around for the next two months to assist when I get cramped up again. I doubt that even if he was around I'd be able to jostle him awake.
In any case, self-sufficiency is vital.

Streamyx: The Story So Far
I walked over to the Clickers shop a few doors away from my office today. I hoped they would be able to help me where the TMNet call centre has failed miserably.
The girls at the counter were very nice, but no, they couldn't help me. The case has to be referred back to the call centre. After I looked harried and explained to them the situation (being pregnant helps, I think because they probably took pity on me), one of the girls asked for my user ID and did a quick check for me.
She managed to dig up the contact number for the contractor/installer who set up Streamyx for me. She told me to give him a call to see if he could help. I was very thankful and told her so; at last, I had a proper person to call and to voice my problems to. I crossed my fingers hoping that the installer had not left his job to do something else since he'd installed the service for me in 2005.
Upon getting up to leave, she told me, "Worse come to worst, I think it's better if you just write in to the papers."
Even their own people know how useless they are.
I called the mobile number even before I'd stepped out the door. The installer picked up and listened to my woes. After asking where I lived and what was the problem, he sighed. "That sounds like a port problem. TMNet have to head over there to fix the port. I've already had three calls this morning. It looks like I'm going to be very busy. Forward me your phone number and I'll do a check for you."
Eureka! Someone's actually going to do something about the darned line and they can tell me that they are going to do something about it instead of throwing out obtuse phrases that don't mean a shit such as, "...we have escalated your case to the highest level and you'll have to wait for an update from the technical team."
Later today I called the installer again. He told me that he'd already given my number to TMNet and they'd take some time to revert to him. "When should I check back with you?" "Give me a call tomorrow evening," he said.
A definite answer and a definite time frame. Wow!! Progress!
I have totally given up hope in the monolithic dinosaur that consider themselves an ICT company. Even their own people have no faith in them and can advice me to go to the press with my woes. And it took an outside third-party to actually do something proactive other than to give me excuses about why they can't fix a simple problem. All they have to do is send someone over to fix the port.
The issue is far from over. I still have to call the installer tomorrow and find out if anything's being done. But at least I'm not being given empty excuses or shunted from one customer service rep to another.
TMNet SUCKS!!
I'll find out tomorrow if they're totally and hopelessly useless. I may consider Maxis as an alternative if they can't solve the blurdy problem.

As if I haven't Bought Enough Baby Stuff
A friend insisted we go baby shopping today. I must say that shopping with someone who's given birth before is so much more fun than going on my own. Lots of advice and tips were given out while we looked for essentials. Here's what I ended up with:
1. Bottle warmer. Great for night feeds when you're too tired to mix in the formula with hot and/or cold water. "Just keep some water in the bottle, make sure it's warm, add in the formula, shake it and your baby's ready to go. It's worth the investment because you can use it until they're two or so."
2. Pacifier. "We tried not using it at all and then not too often. But you never know when you need it."
3. Compartmentalised formula container. "Just pour the formula into the warmed bottle and you're done!"
4. Rubberised baby change mat. "You need this because you never know if or when the baby's gonna pee when you change him/her." Yikes.
5. Non-slip baby mat for tub. "Useful because it helps to keep the baby in position in the tub."
6. Talc container with puff. Self-explanatory.
7. Baby oil. For myself more than the baby, since I bought a really small bottle to begin with and it's running out (didn't expect to use such copious amounts at this late stage).

That day
Nostalgia...this one got away from the many photos that were taken on our wedding day in Melaka. I think it was taken with Sara's then digital camera, first posted on Sasha's site a while back and I can't remember if I posted it here anytime before.
I like this shot because it's such a candid one among all the "posed" ones that we ended up with. I remember thinking that it was so corny and stiff to have to place my hand on his chest and smile into the camera. That is just so not...us; the whole posing and preening bit.
It was odd.
But this photo is ... one of a kind.
Akad Nikah
Last night...
Sis: I've never been to an akad nikah before. What do I have to wear?
Me: Eh, didn't you go to mine?
Sis: No!! Everyone was there except me. Mee said I didn't need to go.
Me: Eh, but she would have told you about it.
Sis: She said I didn't need to go...
This afternoon...
Me: AL said you told her that she didn't need to go to my akad nikah last time.
Mom: It was a weekday.
Me: Yeah, I remember.
Mom: She asked if it was OK if she didn't go. She said she couldn't take leave. So I told her it's OK if she can't go.
Me: Hmm...
