28th weeks of pregnancy

time pass by very fast, especially when we're busy running around ;)

on Friday 14th Nov, marked my 28th weeks of pregnancy - baby is now has set up her own sleep-awake patterns. Sometimes baby like to 'punch & kick' me at the same time! Another time baby got hiccups.

So here is my baby's fetal weekly development, cut & paste from the babycenter.com website:

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

The Wedding

I love to see these wedding photos - how i look different in both occasions eventhough i was wearing the same ivory wedding gown by Vera Wang:

1st Wedding celebration in Canada, October 2005:





2nd Wedding celebration in Sabah, August 2007:





This photo was taken at the end of the celebration:

Pinky & my cat Durong

Hahaha..when i saw these photos - i recalled the nite: Pinky was about to sleep, Durong came to sleep next to her, but Pinky kept pushing him/her (dont remember Durong's sex). Finally, Pinky fell asleep, deep sleep til didn't even realized that Durong has came back & slept very,very close to her!

I wanted to laugh, but hold it. Then i grabbed my camera and snapped these photos.

1st pose:


2nd pose:


3rd pose:


Next morning, I asked Pinky why she pushed away Durong the nite before. She said "I dont like her". Then i showed these photos to Pinky, she only can say: "eeeeeee" hahaha

My cats...

Another session on browsing my albums this evening- found these interesting photos. I took these photos during my last trip to Sabah earlier this year, maybe in March? i think so.

We're busy renovating my mum house in KM, so did these cats - these 3 cats were busy to be 'on board' too. Started by Buding (R) followed by Durong (L) then Shrek also jumped in:



Don't know what are they thinking - just fo fun ride, i guess ;)



Another nite, i was supposed to sleep next to my mum (hubby didn't come with me - he was busy working in Canada). mmmm..when i walked into the room, guess what? These cats controlled my spot!

I'm proud of...

I read from Utusan Malaysia online today (Canada time) that 6 ex-judges whom had been 'suspended' during an incident 20 years ago, have been awarded ex-gratia compensation by the government.Well at least, the government revealed how much the amount today ;)

I'm so proud to say that one of the x-judges trained me (& my badge) at my 4th year in law school. It was in year of 2001 and if i'm not mistaken the course was "Professional Practice 2: Litigation".

For me, being trained in litigation course by 1 of the best judges in Malaysia was the most glorious moment in law school- so that's what i feel, til today. I still remember how Tan Sri Azmi always praised me for my 'ideas' during those litigation training :D

One of the ideas that i used was "the PP was not authorized by law as his name has not been gazetted during the hearing" - yeah, i remember Tan Sri Azmi's eyebrow was 'terangkat" & i got extra point for that..LOL extra research, extra points! and i also always use "bahasa berbunga & simpulan bahasa" to close my submissions hehehe

Another time, i did made a mistake during another submission - i was so lazy to think for new idea so i said the crime was small & Tan Sri said "no,no,no you can't say that..bla,bla,bla.." Anyhow, i did skor "A" for this course :D



RM10.5j bayar 6 hakim

Oleh hata wahari




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



KUALA LUMPUR 6 Nov. – Kerajaan hari ini mengumumkan telah membayar ex-gratia berjumlah RM10.5 juta kepada bekas Ketua Hakim Negara, Tun Salleh Abas dan lima lagi bekas hakim kanan yang terlibat dalam krisis kehakiman, 20 tahun lalu.

Salleh menerima bayaran tertinggi dengan RM5 juta, Tan Sri Azmi Kamaruddin (RM2 juta), Tan Sri George Edward Seah Kim Seng (RM2 juta) manakala Tan Sri Wan Hamzah Mohd. Salleh, Allahyarham Tan Sri Eusoffe Abdolcadeer dan Allahyarham Tan Sri Wan Suleiman Pawanteh masing-masing mendapat RM500,000.

Jumlah bayaran itu diumumkan oleh Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz semasa menggulung perbahasan peringkat jawatankuasa Bajet 2009 bagi Jabatan Perdana Menteri pada persidangan Dewan Rakyat hari ini.

Beberapa Ahli Parlimen pembangkang termasuk Ahli Parlimen Wangsa Maju, Wee Choo Keong sebelum ini telah mendesak kerajaan supaya mendedahkan jumlah pembayaran ex-gratia itu yang diumumkan pemberiannya oleh Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi pada April lalu.

Mohamed Nazri berkata, bayaran itu bukanlah jumlah yang sesuai kerana ia melibatkan harga diri dan maruah bekas hakim-hakim berkenaan.

‘‘Kerajaan tidak pernah mempertikaikan bayaran yang dibuat kepada bekas-bekas hakim itu tetapi Ahli Parlimen Wangsa Maju (Wee Choo Keong, PKR-Wangsa Maju) yang mempertikaikan jumlah bayaran tersebut.

‘‘Sebenarnya kita tidak boleh meletak berapa harga yang sebenarnya patut dibayar sebab ia soal harga diri, mana boleh letak harga, tetapi kita bayar dan anggap jumlah tersebut sesuai,” jelasnya.

Nazri menjawab celahan N. Gobalakrishnan (PKR-Padang Serai) yang menyatakan bayaran itu terlalu rendah berbanding jawatan Salleh yang merupakan Ketua Hakim Negara adalah satu jawatan lebih penting daripada Perdana Menteri.

Jawapan Nazri itu dibantah keras oleh Choo Keong yang turut mencelah dengan menyatakan ia adalah terlalu tinggi memandangkan bekas hakim-hakim itu menerima bayaran pencen.

‘‘Apa yang dikatakan oleh Choo Keong itu mempertikaikan jumlah bayaran. Gobalakrisnan menyatakan terlalu rendah dan Ahli Parlimen Wangsa Maju pula menyatakan terlalu tinggi, jadi tidak ada kesepakatan dalam jumlah bayaran yang harus diberikan, maka tindakan kerajaan adalah betul,” katanya.

Beliau berkata, lima bekas hakim itu turut menerima pencen bulanan iaitu Salleh sebanyak RM5,102.16, Wan Suleiman (RM4,815), George Seah (RM5,916.90) Eusoffe (RM4,815), Wan Hamzah (RM6,508.59) dan Azmi (RM5,916.90).

Nazri menambah, apa jua bentuk bayaran kepada bekas hakim-hakim itu, ia tidak bermaksud bahawa kerajaan bersalah.

Pembayaran ex-gratia itu dibuat sebagai menghargai sumbangan bekas hakim-hakim berkenaan yang terlibat dalam krisis kehakiman dan merupakan langkah kerajaan memulihkan semula kewibawaan badan kehakiman.

Ex-gratia tersebut telah diserahkan oleh bekas Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Senator Datuk Zaid Ibrahim pada Jun lalu kepada hakim-hakim terlibat.

Bagaimanapun Zaid enggan mendedahkan jumlahnya atas alasan permintaan oleh hakim berkenaan sendiri. Zaid meletakkan jawatan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri pada 15 September lalu.

Nazri menjelaskan, bekas hakim-hakim itu telah ditamatkan perkhidmatan lebih awal seperti saranan panel yang telah bersidang berhubung kes tersebut dan bukan dipecat oleh kerajaan.

“Sekiranya bekas hakim-hakim itu dipecat mereka tidak layak mendapat pencen tetapi kerana telah ditamatkan perkhidmatan, maka mereka layak dibayar pencen mengikut Akta Pencen,” katanya.

Nazri juga memaklumkan, kerajaan bersedia untuk membentuk panel hakim lain bagi menilai semula kes bekas hakim-hakim terbabit sekiranya terdapat fakta baru.

‘‘Saya pegang apa yang dikatakan sebelum ini bahawa kerajaan bersedia untuk menubuhkan sebuah panel lain untuk menilai kes bekas hakim-hakim tersebut sekiranya terdapat bukti-bukti baru, tetapi pada masa ini tidak ada maka tidak perlu kerajaan tubuhkan panel baru,” katanya.

latest up-date

There are few things happening right now in our life -some people are praying for us. For now we just want to do our best and let God do the rest! :D

Autumn is in - many trees are naked now LOL...raining every single day except yesterday. Temperature below 10 degree almost everyday!! Our area is observing the "saving day' program - so last Sunday, our clock was set back 1 hour again. Now, by 5pm it is already dark!

I need to do another pre-natal ultra-sound to check the position of my placenta in 3rd trimester. That's just a normal routine over here. Yesterday i booked the ultra-sound to be done in another general hospital, not in Chilliwack anymore ;)

Since last few weeks, I realized that many people didn't realize that i'm prego, nope til way beyond my 6th months of pregnancy! Funny indeed - i'm petite, so i thought most people will know it immediately but not so!

Last week, my classmates in Banking class at University of Fraser Valley (even the lecturer) all said they will not think i'm prego (til last week) if i didn't mentioned it at the beginning of the class! They said "...but now you really look pregnant!"

Last sabbath - 1 of our friends in Young adults group said she was surprised to see me with bigger tummy now as she wasn't aware that i'm prego!

Yeah - now i know, depends on what cloths you wear, the tummy can be hidden from the public eyes til it can't anymore LOL..

3 weeks ago - some of my friends said i'm started showing off my belly. This week, they all says 'wow-u're now all of sudden bigger" hahaha

I think that's true coz beginning last week, i cant (comfortably) wear most of my undergarment anymore and at 6 mths & 3 wks prego now, i can no longer wear 95 per cent of my pre-preg cloths!

Another up-date: tonite will be my last class of Banking at UFV i.e. final exam, next week were going to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada! :D

My Advance Criminal Law class at UBC will be ended by the end of this month, follow by an exam in December. If i pass (God's willing), that will be the end of y NCA challenging exam!

Then...2 days after exam at UBC- we'll fly out of Canada & on the way back to Malaysia!!!! I'm so excited!!

I miss Malaysian food!!!!

Sometime i hate to see malaysian food on-line!! It made me feel irritating - i know i wanted to eat lots of Malaysian real food - the taste, the selection...mmm just can't wait to go home!



I saw this picture on Kosmo online & read the article! Cheh!! How i wish i can eat that 'ikan goreng' LOL. Of course i can cook Malaysian food but i can't get the fresh material over here!

Tahan hati sajalah hehehe and hoping that my baby wont have too much 'air liur' later huahaha..wait baby, after 6 weeks from now we can enjoy Malaysian food to the fullest! yeah..wait for me wahai ikan bakar, sayur nangka, sayur pucuk manis etc...
