Strawberry farm, new sandal & truck attack

Saturday (26 July 2008)

We went to a PYO (Pick Your Own) farm near Lotus cars Ltd, Norwich. We had a great time picking the strawberries. They were small and not in a perfect shape (like the one sold in supermarket) but they were sweet and delicious!



Summer sales at Clark! Grab a pair of hot pink sandal for £20.. Yes, I'm a pink freak.



Sunday (27 July 2008)

Went to Donington Park Circuit (near Leicester) to see the Truck Attack. It was very unusual to see a race between big monsters like that. I'd love to see more but unfortunately I can't handle the weather. It was too hot and I'm almost fainted because of the sun. My body is still too weak to stand that kind of pressure.

Another journey to remember

Last Saturday (19th July 2008), Teddy, me and Eli (Teddy's colleague) went to the Great Yarmouth. We passed by an old wind turbine (didn't manage to get the picture) with a wonderful country sight background along the way there.

It's already summer, but I'm still shivering with cold. I can't help myself from missing the nice, hot & sunny weather in my hometown, Malaysia. My body still can't cope with this British weather.

Great Yarmouth is a lovely, clean beach with so many attractions. A lot of gambling and gaming machine along the road, just like Genting Highland in Malaysia. With this kind of unpredictable weather.. you can't really enjoy the beach. That's why you can choose to accompany yourself with other interesting activities here.



Sunday (20th July 2008), we went to the Snetterton Circuit for the Lotus Celebration day. There were four races for the Lotus on Track Elise Trophy. Support races include the magnificent GT Cup, with nearly 30 supercars including Ferrari, Porsches and Aston Martin. It was a dramatic race since there were a lot of accidents involving a lot of cars that day. Oh yes, I screamed when 2 Feraris crash in front of my eyes. This racers must be crazy, rich people with nothing to do with their money I guess.. And the winner was a Bimmer! Congrats to the driver.. who ever you are.. hehe..

My little miracle

I passed my critical first trimester stage with 'not-so-flying colors', this week. Living my everyday-boring-housewife life at home, doing the same things over and over again.

Being pregnant is a huge task for me. I'm not that kind of women who are on top of the world when they get the positive sign from the pregnancy test kit. I'm totally confused and scared.


Week 6

I fell sick after we got back from Birmingham. I thought, maybe I'm just too exhausted. I can't get up from my bed and hardly eat anything for about 1 whole week. I will throw up everything accept banana.


Week 7

1st doctor appointment. I was given folic acid and my doctor asked me to fight the morning sickness naturally. Naturally?? I guess I will be suffering for another 3-4 weeks.. I started to hate many kind of foods. I hate chicken, prawn, burger, fish, vegetables.. The smell of the foods really made me sick! Luckily I can still eat fresh fruits. No wonder I lost 7kg's of my weight..


Week 8-10

Blame it on the hormones. I'm feeling down all the time. Depressed. Still can't accept the fact that there is a little miracle growing inside me. Morning sickness add up my misery. I can't understand why people around me accept the news with joy.. and I'm not?? That explained why I took some time to break the news here.


Week 11

1st baby scan. I'm not so excited about the scan. I'm afraid that they won't find anything inside my tummy. It's hard for me to believe that I'm pregnant until that moment.. The moment I saw a tiny heartbeat beating inside me. I saw the baby moving his/her hands actively. I'm totally speechless. Can't explain my feeling that time but I kept on looking at the scan picture over and over again. Still so small (4-5 cm) but so lovely! Motherly instinct, I guess? Me? a mother? (still full with question marks until now)

Oh Happy Days..

Lord Mayor Celebration at Norwich city center. It was a colourful and lively street all day long. I guess I'm more than lucky to celebrate it with all the citizens here.

I will never forget how fun it was to try the folk dance in the middle of Norwich street. It was great! I will never forget the feeling I felt inside me every time when I start moving along with the music beat.. I used to be a traditional dancer & I love every memory I had as a dancer.


Fun Fair at Chappelfield Garden

I really enjoy the big crowd & cheerful fun fair lights. There were a lot of games to try on. We managed to get 2 lovely soft toys!


..and I will never forget the bright and breathtaking view of fireworks from on top of the Norwich Castle.. 2 more months to go and I know that I will miss this place for sure!!



It's time to break the news..

I'm gonna have a baby!! My baby will be due around end of January 2009 and might be sharing this important date with my dear friend, Maisarah..

Looking forward to meet you, my little one!

Updates.. (after some short laaazy break)

After failing some few attempts to update this diary (click on 'add new entry' & just leave it blank for 1 whole day hoping that it will automatically absorb what inside my brain & updating itself), I finally get my lazy ass to TYPE something here. pheww.. atlast..

hurmm.. where should I start?

14th May 2008

Disaster. My dear laptop crashed. I accidentally dropped it. It's the table's fault! Can I sue the table's manufacturer for providing such a bad product like that? Why didn't they mount the glass properly into the table's frame?

I spent my days doing useless things.. wondering around the house like crazy. Watch every stupid shows on the TV, bought story books from the charity shop & finished reading 568 pages in 1 day.. I realize that internet & laptop is everything to me. I will go nuts if I can't go online more than 1 week. It's true.. believe me!

I hate Twinhead Malaysia! 

It's still under warranty but I knew that there is NO service center for Twinhead in the UK. The nearest is France. When I mailed them about my problem,  I received a reply, "There's no cervice center in UK". That's all?

I already knew that!! Didn't solve my problem at all. 

*******************

Let me share with you about my journey from East to West England (Norwich - Manchester - Liverpool - Birmingham)

Nah.. too long to write. Maybe just some summary so that I won't forget that experience. Photo blogging would be the best way to explain it. 

24 May 2008 (Saturday)

Depart from Norwich. Stop at Hope Valley, Peak District to enjoy the breathtaking green scenery from Peveril Castle. 

.. continue our journey to Manchester. Old Trafford, the Theater of Dreams. We are not really a Red Devil fan, but it's great to be here at this legendary stadium, maybe.. once in a lifetime. We met a lot of Malaysian there & suddenly I felt like home because I can hear Malay language spoken everywhere. I guess a lot of Malaysian love MU.. is it? 

25th May 2008

We went the the West side of England, Liverpool. Our 1st destination was the Anfield Stadium. I love the phrase at their logo, " You'll never walk alone". 

.. straight to Albert Dock, 1 of the main tourist attraction in Liverpool. Wondering around Liverpool city and really enjoy the colorful & lively street there. There were street performance everywhere.. entertainers, clowns, dancers.. 

26th May 2008

On our way back to Norwich. Stop at Birmingham. Enjoy walking at The Canal to Birmingham city center. Huge shopping area, but the weather was not very good & too windy.

Arrived at Norwich around 7pm that day. Fell sick for about 1 week after that. 

I'm exhausted & dying without my laptop. 

Ok, let's look about the bright sight.. I got a new Toshiba laptop from Teddy! hehe.. It's the best medicine I ever had. Thanks cayang.. I yeb yu.. muahss..muahss..!!

Owh.. and as a result from my sickness, I lost about 3-4 kg's of my weight. 

21st June 2008 

I'm all alone. Going to be alone for more than 1 week. Teddy went to Spain to test the new Lotus car performance. Already miss him.. 

Take care! Balik cepat2 bawa suvenier tau..
