Full Amak...

40 weeks & 2 days...

And yes, we are still here.

No choy lah, must wait long-long... impatiently right here waiting...

Santa came, Santa go... baby no come yet oso... what to do, tan ku ku...
hee hee hee... (sempat lawak kott?!!)

Today, today the stars told me... Thursday might be the D-day... InsyaAllah

Earlier, si Danish woke us up around 9 co'lock. Alamak budak nih... I told him to get up at 10 co'lock. Kacoh dah... Mana tidak nyer? He was super excited about ripping off the wrappers for his Christmas pressies...budak kan? Nak cakap ape?

The boys had been anticipating to open their pressies. Excited nah. Ngehloh. After breakfast, we opened our pressies. Huih... bukan main lagi... The boys, especially Danish, got quite a few prezen, Glen as well. I am delighted to get my Scorpions CD hee hee hee... Yang ada karaoke tuu... hahahahaha... obit!

Glen & myself slept at around 2:30am on Christmas Eve. We cleaned up abit in the kitchen after baking our mince pies. Hmmm... jadik jugak pastry kawan. At first attempt tu, Alhamdulillah. I was asked to do the pastry because Glen & Danish made some decorations using clay. Kacoh dah... He was worried that he might 'contaminate' the pastry, due to the clay's residue under his fingernails... eee kawan pon geli...

Alhamdulillah, it turned out well. Of course lah we "play cheat". We bought the mince meat from the supermarket. Sape lah yang kuasa nak pi buat mende alah tu... Jenoh ah... Dapat lah satu dozen.

Jadilah hah...

For lunch, takde turkey murkey... Kita bakar AYAM!!! Yum! Yum! Kalau beli ayam belanda, tak ada chan boleh masok dalam oven ku yang kecik kelemot tu... Anyway, sebesar tidak ah, sape yang nak ngabeskan ayam belanda tu? Aral..

We had Roast Chicken with Onions & Sage stuffing. Sedap jugak... Kalau dah kebulur anak-beranak, lantak lah... Tutoh. Tutoh (pulau linggo for makan sakan) bebenar... We had roasted potatoes (standard ah, ciak kantang), carrots, parsnips & brussel sprouts. Glen made a simple gravy using the "peloh" from the roasted ayam. Kencang jugak Abang Usop masak... I am impressed. Seriously, it was truly simple but a hearty meal.

Sayang, THANK YOU!!!

Dinner, we had the same thing - quite a lot of leftover from lunch. Futhermore, Glen has got a cold since Monday. His nose was running abit & he developed a mild fever. Poor Sayang...

It was a good day spent at home. Very quiet, except for intermitten sudden outburst of "ngorng, ngorng" from Danish when he was playing his Lego & his disgusting & irritating elephant sounds (nak kena PEHPAT jugak budak ni!)...

Now, after watching Peter Pan (bukan band Indo tu ah...) the boys are now fast asleep... Kongasam... tido tak baca ritual doa eh...!!! Aramjakol... Seme dah letih, dah penat... Bobok ah, sebab kembong bongsang (perot dah kenyang...)

OK gengs, Selamat Malam... NaitNait... kawan pon nak mejam...

Feliz Navidad

Always a joyous festive season, come year end.

It's that time of the year where Orchard Road (and almost everywhere else) gets humungus traffic & human jams... Shopping malls decked with Christmas decos, twinkling lights here, there, everywhere... Long queues at the cashiers, fitting rooms, even the toilets...

This year, looks like many, many people 'ahbo' duit (pulau linggo for spend like crazy!). Pay check berat, shopping bags pon berat... Most people got big fat bonuses+++ this year & apa lagi? Joli katak ah...

No bonus for me lah... Sourcream... Hee hee hee... Sour grape...

Anyways... My Sayang (eleh... nyampah), ermmm, jangan jeles lah... Dat's how he wants me to call him mah...

Ok, ok... He's brought back a small Christmas tree. It is a tradition for the Copsey family to have a tree during the Christmas celebrations. They would usually buy a fresh tree from the grocer's at Billericay. They'll trim & decorate the tree a few days before Christmas. I've never ever trim a tree in my entire life before, but it was good fun. More like jakon gitu...

So, we've got a tree in the house. A fake one. Mock tree lah, gitu... I don't celebrate Hari Natal, but my husband macam feeling sedih for not being able to go back to be with his beloved family (although he did not tell me). He's been back to the UK or celebrating Christmas at Chamonix with the rest of the Copseys, every single year since he came back to Singapore to work - this is the first in ten years he tak balik kampong. So korang imagine lah perasaan dia...

To him, at least, ada penawar. Pokok bedek pon pokok bedek lah... So he's not home now, as I'm typing these. The boys had gone out to Skate Park & while Danish skates, Sayang go shopping. He said he would be cooking us some Christmas lunch & dinner. He'll be baking mince meat pies as well. How sweet... I am so touched... Tak leh angkat beb... Touching betol...

I've got some surprises for them. I've put their pressies under the tree. All this are for fun, peace & laughter. We've got some pressies from the rest of the Copseys that arrived about 2 weeks ago. I hope it will terubat hati dia yang sedang sayu.

But at the same time, sayu pon sayu, he's super excited about the arrival of baby Copsey...

To each & all, have a Happy, Merry Christmas & a Merry, Happy New Year! Kepada yang tak celebrate - celibate... eh! Enjoy the holidays & have lots of good fun!

In the meantime... gua menyelanak... budak tet ni kalau dah dilahirkan, gua nak pehpat dia...

Tan Koo Koo

40 weeks & 1 day...

I'm still here... No. We are still here...

I've been getting calls after calls, smses after smses... until I'm exhausted of replying.
Don't be offended y'all... Thank you for your concern. We truly appreciate it.

Yes, baby Copsey is overdue. Looks like he's following the 'footsteps' of his big brother as well...
Kesian eh... Poor me...

Went for my antenatal check-up earlier & Dr JW said, "Let's wait awhile..." But my cervix has dilated, 2cm only so far... And I've given up on feeling the contraction pains... Everything also pain, so it makes no different to me no more. Alhamdulillah, so far, I can tahan (endure). Maybe my pain threshold is high.

High. High for someone who can't take any pain killers. Not even Panadol.

My dear mother, Mak Puteh, just told me yesterday evening, that all of her 3 chew-ren were overdue babies. All born a week later than the estimated date of delivery. Dr JW said, yes, it runs in the family. I'm likely to get it from Mak Puteh. So, wait I must, for now.

What to do...? Tan Koo Koo... Man-man tan lor...

For all of you who are wondering when I'll give birth - we'll wait & see, ok? InsyaAllah, soon.
You all be patient ok... (macam betol je aku ni...) I'm getting restless & impatient oredi...

Busy Body...

Yes, I've been busy.

Lame.

This good ol' Twinhead have had its shares of collecting dust...

We've been pretty busy lazying around... Bumming around...

Seriously, I've been merayap-ing alot. Going up & down the staircases. You know that I'm abit of 'atas' person - err... I mean, we live up on a hill, gitu... Yek Eleh... So, I've been going up & down these past weeks, jalan-jalan here, jalan-jalan there... Turun bas, naik bas, pegi sana, pegi sini... Selagi boleh jalan, JALAN dah... Yes, almost everyday...

When I'm home - I open my kedai dobi - Laundry Shop...

Yesterday, we received more baby stuff, courtesy of Mr & Mrs Vincent Patton. Thank you Vince!

Banyak yang telah ter-happened these last few weeks, cuma, belom ada time nak jadi Tok Selampit...

Oh, we've wrapped up Xmas pressies for the rest of the Copsey family. A bit late, but hopefully, they'll get the pressies before they head off to Chamonix for Xmas.

Oh by the way... I stumbled upon these...
