C and I have been experimenting with dishes recently. 2 days ago, we made laksa for lunch, and i brought some over for Dad. He loved it. = )
Then yesterday, we had udon soup and edamame.. That turned out well too..
And today, we had chicken rendang for lunch.. I teased C and said she could go open a restaurant.. She can cook Japanese (sushi and udon), Singaporean and Malay food now! = )

Last night, K and I went to watch "Green Zone" starring Matt Damon. The story's about the real reason why US troops are in Iraq.. Not because Saddam's army has weapons of mass destruction, but because the US government wants to invade the country and get their resources: defence resources and their huge supply of black gold.. Makes me wonder if it's a reflection of what's happening in the real world..
We drove all the way to The Cathay @ Douby Gaut, went to the toilet and came out, took out the tickets, only to realize that the movie was at Cineleisure Orchard. We had to pay $1.20 car park for our toilet break. = )
By the time we reach the cinema in Cineleisure, the show had started. After the movie, we went back to the open car park opposite Cineleisure, only to see our car covered with bird shit. Sigh.. all these for a stupid movie!

Bria has been going on a nipple strike for almost a week now..
She is refusing my breast totally, and doesn't want to breastfeed at all.. The minute i put her near my breast, she cries. Ever since this started, I have read many many articles on this. Some call it "Nipple Confusion" , and some call it "Nipple Strike". It is caused when the baby gets used to and prefers the bottle and pacifier, and so refuses the breast. Apparently, it is almost impossible to find a solution cause this is more a "Prevention is better than cure" kind of problem.
I am still trying to come to terms with this great loss. It is hard to describe just how hurt I am, and how badly i am handling this rejection from my baby. It's like I am mourning.. I really really miss having Bria on my breast.. And it doesn't help that my breast milk is decreasing because there is no baby to suck. Sigh... WHY??!!!

I was cutting Bria's fingernails few days back, and accidentally cut her right thumb.. She wailed so loud and i didn't even realized it until i saw the blood... I was SOO SOO angry at myself, and my heart ached like hell!
Even though Bria only cried for like 10 seconds and after that she started smiling to me, i was still very upset. Sigh... Why am i so careless??

K and I drove past this durian store at Jalan Eunos called "Durian Lingers".. They have this banner promoting their Ladies Night promotion on Tuesday. Apparently, ladies get a 30% discount on their durians on Tuesday nights.
Even durian stalls have Ladies' Night now.. How interesting.. = )

The weather has been really bad these days.. No rain, no wind, and super hot.
This afternoon, the temperature outdoors rose to 41 degrees. So freakin' hot! I don't even dare to bring Bria out in case she comes down with a fever. 41 degrees is like high fever loh! I want to go back to New Zealand!!
I had my first real exercise today after having Bria.. Played badminton with Gary and Pui at the Chinese Swimming Club in the evening. Sigh.. after months of no exercise, i have lost my stamina, and my badminton skills have deteriorated. And as if i haven't perspired enough during the day, i had to go for an indoor sport with not much ventilation, rather than stay home at night. Plus, now my whole body is aching. Tomorrow sure jia lat.. = (

Bria loves to explore her surroundings..
Her neck is also getting stronger and stronger nowadays.. Although she still cannot sit up on her own, she can strain her neck and lift it up when she is lying on her tummy.. Usually, when she does that, she will be crying cause she's hungry. But she did that today and remained quiet for a long time, so K and I took the chance to snap away!!
