Another new chapter- House Hunting

As you all know- I am staying with my parents. Although it was supposed to be a temporary arrangement since I was heavily pregnant with Dany, I got comfortable and well.. with my husband working habit.. it actually was our only option.
Convenient it may be.. it is and will never be a good idea to live with your parents. Of course there a lot of times I feel blessed that I have my parents to help out especially with Dany (also maybe it's more because of Dany their first grandchild!) but there are also times when I want to be on my own. But having a husband like mine.. I am not sure if I can pull it off.. well, guys.. we're about to find out soon..

Now that I have Adyan (A- di- yen), my 'Wan' (grandmom) is not well and she's living with us- I voluntered to live out. We don't have a 8 rooms bungalow that can fit all of us.. Us meaning- all of my 7 siblings! I am excited- well, it's a good reason which my mom can't reject but also scared at the same time!

I have always love house hunting- some people may find it a hassle but I loveeeeee looking at houses especially those expensive ones that I can't afford!

And one good example is this house! Location wise- fantastic!! Walking distance to AEON Shopping mall- gated community with club house..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGHHH!!!

I am so frustrated rite now.. this is the biggest frustration this year.. hmm.maybe the second biggest.. the biggest would be my cowardness in dealing with the labour pain and not asking the doctor to wait.. the second would be finding out that the name DARIUS actually bears meaning!!!! I loveeee that name so much but it didn't sound like it has any meaning to it..well at least not in Islamic way..so i didn't even bother to look up!
but I just found out from this site- my-anak.com (confinement boredom..) that the meaning is- baik budi- tinggi... AAAAAAAAARRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... this is one of those moments where I wish I could turn back the time.. apparently these moments happen quite often lately..

How DitDot became Danish Adyan Zulkarnain

To tell you the truth.. I had no idea at all.. I was already giving up and wanted to just not use the D. A initials.. It's bloody difficult to find names that start with D.. I mean good nice one..which is not being overused..like Daniel or Danish.. Wanted Damien- but a bit too Mat Salleh.. I like Dean but - hmm.. not that convinced that it is a nice sounding name. I like Rayyan- as I understand just today that another friend of mine is eyeing that name too..But apparently my husband still wants to stick to D.A which was a surprise to me bacase this whole D.A thingy was my idea! So padan muka i.. On the sixth day he suggested Dinesh? What the ????So I said Danish is better..I mean obviously... but it was supposed to be an argument to the name Dinesh..not a suggestion.. but it was a bit too late cos he liked it immediately and already calling my DitDot Danish.. so DitDot- if you have 5 other Danish- es in your classroom.. I am so sorry- blame your daddy ok? We decided on Adyan on the seventh day.. actually I decided.. it was a battle between Aiden and Adyan.. Aiden of course takde meaning but I so love that name.. I stumbled on Adyan in one of the long list of Muslim names I googled and saved. I like that it's different.. so on the seventh day we had our name. We registered the name on the 13th day.. FYI Zulkarnain is by default!

So guys- my baby DitDot is to be called Baby Adyan (pronunciation- 'A- D- ien') not Danish call we all know how many Danish we have out there!

What the hell is wrong with my typing?

Looking back at all my blogs.. I notice I have problems spelling and I am too lazy to correct them! I rather write this blog instead!

My confinement story..

Hmm.. I wish I have the will to be be strong.. I guess I am never that strong especially when I bailed out and went straight for the operation theater the last time! So my first few days at the hospital was basically bread and porridge. The first two days I wasn't allowed to eat.. But the real deal started when I got back home.. First few days..no big deal..had the socks on, ate just plain rice with salted fish in pepper and vinegar. After a few days- ate bread (not supposed to cos apparently yeast= wind). After the next few days- found oreos! And I finished the whole pack!
Second week- the weather so hot- I had to sip on the cold water! But I still have my socks on.. I'm not eating jamu like when I had Dany.. Had those smelly Jamu stuff rubbed on my body only for a few times.. I think they lasted for a week or so.. I guess this time around everything is so laid back. Mom is not around often, perhaps she trusted me to be good.. but Mom- how can u ever leave me alone at home with all those food in the kitchen?

My back is killing me.. maybe I'll go urut after I finish my house arrest- which supposed to be on the 15th May..

What's hidden in your name?




What My Name Means



You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.

You have the classic "Type A" personality.



You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience.

You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along.

But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge.



You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.



You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.

You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.

Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.







You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.

You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.

You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.



You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.

And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.

You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.







You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.

Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.

Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.







You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.



Try it guys..i'd say I agree to all the wonderful positive ones..hehehe!

And off we go... DitDot and his journey of in the new world

It's 9.34 am. We got clearance to go home today. Yeay! Now waiting for the bill.. estimation about 4.5K. Baby DitDOt is still at the nursery. I'm all set to go with my husband's shirt and pelekat(male's sarong) on. Excited to go home but at the same time hated the idea of being in confinement! I'll definitely fill you guys in on more details but unfortunately it has to wait until I complete my confinement.
Can't wait to upload all the photos! Can't do it here, restricted only to the keyboard and the monitor.. sigh* Anyways.. I'm gonna go to the nursery now and check on my not so little baby Dit Dot!

A slow day at the hospital..

Ditdot is down with jaundice.. Now is being treated under the UV light. I still haven't got much milk to offer him- so he's on formula most of the time.. Can't wait to go home. There's nothing much to do. My husband sleeps most of the time. No visitors just yet and it is now already two. Dany is also asleep with Daddy after throwing a tantrum. He's so excited with the baby and wanting to go to the nursery all the time. Obviously I can't pick him up and my hsband is just plain lazy.. so he was crying and crying. One of my husband parenting skills is to let him cry til he is exhausted and fall asleep. Can't really do much for him cos still not completely recovered from the operation. My body kinda aches all over and I'm bored.
