my weekend

last Saturday morning Significant Other's best friend Hafiz got married. he was present during our nikah last year, and came for both receptions on Significant Other's side, so it was without question that he would be there for his best friend's big day. he got up early (actually i woke up early to wake him up, cheese) and left the house at around 8am. it was also the day my friend Wak and his girlfriend (now wifey) decided to tie the knot. congratulations! heehee. i bet my mil is really happy for you (your best friend, right? lol). hopefully i'll try to make it for the wedding in Melaka. we'll see.

i tried to improve my baby wearing skills with my Littlepods pouch that afernoon. i haven't really had a chance to use the sling outdoors yet. we usually bring the stroller whenever we go out so we just put her in there. she's happy to snooze in the stroller while we go for our shopping rounds. anyway, she was also a bit cranky at the time and since i didn't know what else to do with her i decided to use her as a guinea pig =D. so far she seemed ok in there, although mil was worried she might be kemek or senget if she stayed in the sling too long (Dayana didn't complain, so i guess she didn't feel squashed in there, can i assume so?). if that was the case, they wouldn't be selling them to the mommies in the first place, am i right? at one point she fell asleep in the sling, but not for long.

later we went to Italiannies for dinner at OU with mil. we tried this new thing on the menu called 'Bowls of Pasta' where you get to choose 4 out of 10 bowls of - what else - pasta! i can't really recall what we ordered though except for the Chicken Lasanga (which was only so-so), but there was one that i really liked, and it had mushrooms in it. i stuck Dayana in my sling so that i could make use of both of my hands =D. she fussed for a bit, until she decided on being contented with taking in the surroundings (which she loves to do), which made it easier for me to enjoy dinner. i just needed to make sure no food falls on Dayana (it happened once actually during my confinement. i was trying to get to the Barley stuck at the bottom of my glass i sorta overtipped it and bits of barley showered all over Dayana. hahahahahah). Dayana decided to poop at Italiannies just as we were about to finish so i changed her first before we did a quick round of shopping. i ended up getting a bag at Dorothy Perkins, 50% off.

At Italiannies

yesterday we went for Hafiz's reception and it was a hot day so we left Dayana at my fil's house for a while. when we came to pick her up we found Bibik with her outside of the house, Dayana in a gendong. apparently 4 ounces of milk wasn't enough to settle her and she seemed rather contented in the gendong. hahaha. we stopped by Subang Parade after that for a stroll since it was already 5pm and we had thought of going to Significant Other's grandma's house later and didn't want to go home just yet. i finally found the stretchy flare pants that i'd been looking for for ages, in black and with different color material at the waist. i bought two; one in red, the other in turquoise. yay!

we stopped by Nedd's house to pick up Dayana's clothes that my aunt had bought for her from UK. they were busy preparing to go for a wedding so our stay there was brief. Dayana was all smiles when Nedd took her from me, but out of a sudden for no reason she burst into tears when my uncle took a turn to hold her. secretly Significant Other thought she got surprised at his jambang hence the sudden outburst. lol. oh, and Dayana decided to poop there =P. next time, Auntie Nedd, we'll drop by and stay longer, ok?

after that we went to Significant Other's grandma's house as planned, had dinner there, and got back home at around 10.30pm. i really should try to teach Dayana to go to bed earlier. she seems to drop off into a deep sound sleep only after 12am. i tried to put her down at 7pm once, but i only succeeding in accompanying her lying on the bed with eyes wide open for two hours. haha.

oh yeah, before this i always bathe Dayana in her hammock. her baby bath tub has this hammock which you can attach to the tub in case you're afraid your baby is too small and might slip and slide in the tub while you bathe her. now that she's almost 4 months old, i decided to remove the hammock and use just the tub. i brought Mr. Rubber Ducky along for the splash. she seems to like it, splashing her feet in the water, so no complaints there =D

Rub a Dub in the Tub

so that was more or less how my weekend was like. nowadays i'm going back home from work later than usual to accomodate the customer's time zones (but i am definitely not going to go home at 1am).

gwah. next week there'a a gift exchange session in the office and i have no idea what to buy.
