245: CotonSoft 7 pcs Bedding Set

We just had our hi-tea at Ettora, Publika when Ezal snapped this picture of my Week 37's look. I shall write about Ettora some other time or maybe Ezal would love to tell you guys about that :p. (Keep looking for updates at his blog space)

By this time, we had almost completed our baby's shopping list. Even though it's not perfectly prepared..

at least his wardrobe is now loaded with his basic stuff and daily needs. Baby cot is already in the house, complete with the mattress, pillows and bedding set. Equipments for nursing and feeding also checked..yeah,  I think I'm quite comfortable with our preparation :)

But how complete is complete? 

As we stroll around the shops in Publika, I fell in love with this bedding set from CotonSoft, Home's Harmony. So cute, I feel like I wanna buy all the three designs. They have this in blue, brown and pink. Each of them deisgned with different adorable characters :') Since we already have a brown bedding set at home, we thought of bringing back the baby blue this time. Pink? holy cute but surely not for my boy :p

The 7 pcs bedding set includes:

1-bedsheet

1-comforter

1-pillow

2-bolsters

2-bumpers

The price? RM 188 after discount..to me, it's worth it;)

I love the furry fleece pop out part on the quilt. I could sense that my baby will love them too. As he'll grow up on this comforter, I bet he'll recognize these animals first..the elephant, monkey, bear, lion and rhino..Ermm, what's that brown animal that showing only it's tail?

He'll surely pull that tail, the rhino's hand, the elephant's ears and that monkey's face. 

Hahaha...watch out you guys !! :D

244: Nakba Palestine

Forever Palestine

Mother don’t cry for me I am heading off to war
God almighty is my armour and sword
Palestine, Forever Palestine

Children being killed for throwing stones in the sky
They say to their parents don’t worry, God is on our side
Palestine, Forever Palestine
Mother don’t worry when they come for us at night
Surely they’ll be sorry when God puts them right
Tell me why they’re doing what was done to them
Don’t they know that God is with the oppressed and needy
Perished were the nations that ruled through tyranny
Palestine, Forever Palestine

Children of Palestine are fighting for their lives
They say to their parents we know that Palestine is our right
They to say to their parents we’ll fight for what is right
They say not to worry God is on our side
They say we’ll die for Palestine
Palestine, Forever Palestine

Track no.5 from the album The Very Best of Sami Yusuf (2011)

This is one of the song  that has been keep playing in my CD player whenever I'm driving in my car. Yet and still, I'm being so ignorant about the disastrous happened in another Muslim country, Palestine -_-'

What is Nakba? If you're new to that word, just like myself, I suggest you to read this.

Now you know..so what does this picture has to do with Nakba? Honestly, this avatar triggers my curiosity, a lot.. especially when almost everybody is changing their profile picture and avatar in FB and Twitter? (including my sister, Linda..and this is her selection of avatar for her FB pic. profile).

 {via}

To satisfy my inquiring mind, I search and found this from  Solihinzubir on his yesterday's blog entry.

The point is, this is the way (I don't know who initiate this) to increase our awareness on what is happening and been gone through by our Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine. Let's pray for them and hopefully our du'a could do a bit changes towards making this world a better place.
Wallahualam.. 

243: Monsoon Evening Bag

If it wasn't because my FIL gave me this lovely evening bag, I guess I'll never know about this UK brand; Monsoon. Even though, it was given few weeks ago, together with these bangles, I would consider this classy pearl diamante dinner bag as a present for Mother's day..haha

Aci tak? :p

242: Baby Stuff from IKEA

As my husband mentioned in his latest entry on his long abandoned blog :p, we had been to IKEA quite regularly for the past few months ..to buy stuff for our home (which is never ending) and for our very soon to be born baby.

It wasn't a major buy, just some whitish furniture and deco stuff for bedroom and living..and these cute little things..A set of muslin squares (RM10), a set of bibs-5 pcs (RM15) and a baby bath tub (RM19.90), all at reasonable price :)

And finally, since I found this bag is quite roomy, suffice to store all the stuff I need to bring to hospital..I grabbed one:) This is only RM19.90.

240: Week 37

Alhamdulillah, I'm on my week 37 now.

So far, pregnancy has been good to me, though a little bit discomfort here and there..

I feel healthy most of the day but when the night comes, I have to bear with this gases that makes me burp like nobody's business (angin satu badan T_T). The hardest moment is going to bed. At this stage, all position doesn't seems right although most of the time I will sleep on my left side.

Sometimes, it took me an hour or two before I could really fall to sleep (like yesterday). Yup, it's quite hard like that. It would be my lucky night if I could straight away falling asleep after five minutes I lay my head on the pillow (like Ezal always do..sigh~). I missed those time of having a quality night sleep, not being suddenly awakened by a cramping leg pain,  the urgency to go to the toilet to pee or to spit out my overproducing saliva. Okay, maybe I shouldn't make a fuss about that anymore, it's only few more weeks to go anyway, right?;)

What else?...

Ooh ya, up till today, I've gained almost 12kg (that was counted since my week 8, when I discovered that I was pregnant). And my waist line (wait, do I still have a waist line? :p) is now more than 40". Haha, I measured my tummy by IKEA's  free measuring tape and both end does not meet each other. That's why I said that my tummy is now more than 40" !!  (Just so you know that the tape is only 100cm in length).

This is the happy pregnant lady with her healthy growing tummy. Ohhhh Cho-co-late..I put the blame on yuh!

239: Drooling Now~

Where's the drooling icon? I want cho-co-late soo baaadd right now!!
