Little things in life

So, I was pretty down the last few days but it's getting better now.  Since Christmas eve is the day that both of us are off, I thought we should really do something nice together, like a date.

No shopping for baby things.  No talking about baby stuff.  Just spend time together, just the 2 of us.  We won't have much chance later once baby is out.

Many options came up and we both thought it would be nice to catch a movie.  It's been ages since we watch one together.

Movie date
On normal days when I am not pregnant, I can't sit with my legs down on cinema chairs.  Because I have short legs, it hurts my knees after some time.  I have always sat cross-legged on those standard seats.

Now that I am 8 months pregnant, I don't think I can sit cross-legged on those seats anymore.  Moreover, I am now quite big.  Then found that many cinemas now have 5-star kind of seat.  Check it out on this website.

In the end, I narrowed down to 2 kinds.  GSC with their Gold Class seats and TGV with their Beanie seats.

Then after discussing with my sister, found that I won't be able to get up from a Beanie.  So Gold Class may be a better choice with their reclining seats.

Unfortunately, at this point of time, the Star Wars fever is high.  All the nice cinemas are booked for Star Wars movie and none for the others.  I am not a Star Wars fan.  I thought of watching Peanuts instead.  He said then let's go and watch Star Wars, eventhough he is not a fan.  But the tickets were sold from a month ago, I heard.  Anyway, I am truly not a Star Wars fan.  Have never followed the movie and do not know the characters.

So, in the end, movie date is out.  Sob sob.

Massage date
Since movie date was out, I thought I should get myself some pampering before baby is out.  Check out a few prenatal massages spa and thought both of us should go for couple massage together.

Since he has been my 'personal maid' from the time I was pregnant until now, I thought I should reward him with some relaxation.  

But he didn't like the idea.  He would rather spend the money on food.  Sigh.  So massage date is out.  
Oh well, probably better for our pockets as we are really tight this month.

Conclusion
In the end, this was our conversation.  Since we got vacant possession of our new apartment 2 weeks ago, he thought it would be nice to go there instead.  Here's how our conversation went.

Me: So how now?  Go to our new place instead?
H: Not a bad idea though.  Go for a swim there.  Try out the gym.
M: But there's nothing in our apartment.  And it's dusty.  Although there's water and electricity, there's no light bulbs and shower head.  Cannot even shower.
H: There's shower place near the swimming pool.  Can shower there.
M: And there's no tables or chairs in our apartment.  Where are we going to sit?
H: Just lay a mat on the floor and have a picnic there.
M: It's so dusty!!!

See, I am not keen to go.  Not 8 months pregnant and sit on the mat on a dusty floor.  Getting up may be difficult.  But that's probably a nicer place to spend a quiet time, just the 2 of us together.  But he would probably go for a swim and gym while I just sit and watch.  Oh well, let's see.

Then towards the end of day of this conversation, I had a late shower and washed my hair.  It was already 11pm.  I told him to come and massage oil on my tummy and massage my feet (you know the daily routine) while I dry my hair with the hair dryer.  And here's the conversation:

Me: OK, since it's late, to save time, come and do the oil massage and the feet massage while I dry my hair.
H: No, cannot do like that.
M: Why not?  I will take at least half an hour to dry my hair.  Then we can sleep.
H: No, must lie down and do.
M: Why?
H: That's the whole purpose of massages.  To relax and enjoy.  Not like this.

Awwww.....how sweet was that?  He refused to get a massage paid for even though he knows it's relaxing but would massage for me for free.  

I am still not sure where or what we are going to do on Christmas eve.  Worse come to worse, just buy a nice popcorn and watch something on YouTube.

So I should be grateful that I have a nice, understanding husband who washes my feet and give me daily reflexology.  In fact, only last night he told me that he does 108 strokes on each of my foot because he read somewhere that it helps with blood flow or something.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. W...

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medi...

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure...
