2nd scan
We went for the second scan today and it has done at 12.30pm..30 minutes late from the appointment time. Alhamdulillah, everything is fine...The gender has revealed! Apparently, the doctor said, it is about 98 percent accurate since only 2D scan was available. The 3D machine is having a problem.. Okla..asalkan ada pic..btw..this week is exactly 6 months of my pregnancy...syukurrrrr..

Sharing infos..
The pregnancy bible from Dr. Miriam Stoppard, titled conception, pregnancy, and birth is very recommended for all pregnancy ladies especially a new mums to be. I bought the book earlier this month at Waterstone's Book Store and it only costed me Euro 27.25. It is not a paperback book, but a hardcover instead. The book contains 376 pages and I can learn a lot about pregnancy, what to expect during labour etc. Right on cue, this book becomes handy in learning and gaining knowledge about pregnancy and after birth, for dummy like me.
As we know,every pregnancy is unique, and so does the labour. Surely, every mums will face the different experiences during pregnancy and birth,yet it not giving us any excuses not to search any infos about it. Well, who knows maybe the infos are useful later on. So do try to read this book !
Even though, I am in the middle of reading but I could not help myself from finding another books to buy as another sources of information. When I am a thousand miles apart from my parents and families to seek for the advice, hence books are the answers for all the queries.
Spending hours in a book store just simply to buy one book, is normal scenario for me. Plus the books in here is not too expensive compared to the book stores back home. That is what I love so much about living abroad.
Tomorrow is part of our big day..second scan for our baby. I hope, the gender will reveal...yippy!!

Rome Day 3 and day 4
From Vativan City we off to the Castle St. Angelo and Plaza Cavour. Took photos and had a small lunch to fill in our rumbling stomaches. We kept our feet moving and crossing the lovely bridge just before the castle. The bridge is called Ponte St. Angelo. After taking a walk for hours we decided to take a look for the halal restaurant at the city centre. Finally, we found one. They sell beriyani rice, pizza and everything. It was so heaven to eat rice after had a pasta n pizza for our meals. The restaurant foods did not cost so much money. For lunch and diner we normally spent Euro 13 to Euro 18 for 2 people...
Day four, we decided to enter the colosseum. We bought the tickets after lining up for 30 minutes. We were lucky because during weekdays and in spring season there was not so many people compared to the weekend. The architecture inside the colosseum was amazing..Just imagine they built that before the Prophet Isa. How long the time went by but the structures, still remain. Truthfully, this is one of the human civilization that must be visited. From the colosseum we went to Palatino garden. The ticket was the same ticket as the colosseum. The garden was amazing and lovely. With the remain oldest structures and many more. Time flies so fast until we realized we had already spent 6 hours for these 2 places. Ok la tak mau cite panjang kesimpulannya Rome best gilerrrrr..and the best thing was,Am bought me 1 calf skin handbag, Italy made. I loveeeeeee it so much..tq dear!
Rome, Italy day 1 and 2
After coming back from Rome, I really need some time to get in piece. I was so tired with the trip. We jet off on 14th March 2008 at 6.30pm and arrived in Rome at 8.30 pm. We bought the Terravission bus tickets to get to the city centre, Termini Station. The tickets only costed us Euro 14/person for the return tickets. You can buy it at the airport or on board. If you want a better deal, do buy it online and you can save Euro two for each of the return ticket.
The journey from airport to the city centre took 30 minutes. After arriving in the city, we started looking for our hotel. It just nearby the Termini Station and it was not so bad, only Euro 46 per night including breakfast for 2. Actually the price is vary depends on the season. During summer it would be double from the standard price, and all the hotel mostly quite expensive in summer compare to the other seasons.
Just after finding the hotel, we took bath , diner and rest our feet for tomorrow trip...zzzzzzz..
Day two
In the early morning, off we went to the most important and attractive places in Rome, the Colosseum. Before that we thought either to take sightseeing bus that costed around Euro 23 per day per person or go for the normal public transports. When we took into account of everything, we decided against our initial planned of buying sightseeing bus pass. We chose metrobus instead. The pass allowed us to unlimited travel with any buses and metro in Rome. It was so cheap. Only Euro four per day or Euro 11 for three days and Euro 16 for a week. You can make your choice which passes you want to go to suit your condition and budget.
Back to the Colosseum story, The metro station for Colosseum is, colosseo. It only two stations apart from our hotel, Termini Station. One thing for sure was, Rome was the most crowded tourist places that I have been so far. Compared to Prague, Paris, London and etc..Rome won the category of the-most-crowded-with the tourists. Not to forget it quite expensive city to visit too..Expensive but really worth it!
I do not know but I love Rome very much, if we have some budget we will jet off to Italy again to visit Venice, Milan and Florence. insyaAllahhhhh..
At the Colosseum we just wandering around outside since too many people were in Q to buy the Colosseum tickets, You can beat the Q if you take tour that costed around Euro 20 to Euro 23 per person. If you are in a tight budget, just get yourselves in the Q and pay only Euro nine per person for the admission fee of the Colosseum, Palatino Garden and Roman Bath. Well, the first and second day was nice and we decided to enter the Colosseum a day before we off back to Belgium. The most important info is, when you go to the Colosseum, beware of the cone men. They are everywhere especially the people who wears the gladiator costume. Check the price first before agree to take photo with them. They would charge you up to Euro 20 for just a few bloody worst pictures. And do not forget, if you want to buy the souvenirs do not buy with the lorries men.It much expensive compared to the souvenirs shops.
From the Coloseum we off to Trevi fountain, Monument Emanuel 2, and many more places. The must been visited places if you go to Rome.
For the currency- In Italy the currency is in Euro..1 euro equal to Ringgit Malaysia 4.9...or 1 euro equal to 0.91 pence.
Our Day 1 and 2 pics..just a few..lain2 tgk kat fb k..
Trevi fountain, the mitos is, if you throw coin into the water, you will return to Rome later..rubbish kan?
The colosseum area
The Spanish Steps...must visit place.

Thanks Bumi Belgium..
Instead of being happy with the news, I will keep reminding myself about one thing. If something meant to be yours..It will be yours forever. Never worried about what if this and that? It all depends on Allah wills. What I can do is, just keep thanking him always. And, again it makes me realized the best decision we had ever done so far was, moving from Manchester to Belgium. Part of the risky undertakings so far has been paid. We could not thankful enough when the worst recession hits Uk , Europe and all over the world, we still have the chances. Our fate is here..our livelihood is here...Our chance to be a parent is here..Everything is here..Thanks bumi Belgium for all the chances that you have given us...Aku syukur..aminn..

When I say nothing at all...
I hate pushy people. But sometimes I do push Am to something that I really want to in life. But, I think it does not matter since I do not push other people around me. When people told me their problems, I will listen carefully without giving any annoying advise unless I think I should say nasty thing to make them realize how far they have been fooling around by others or otherwise.
I do not like people keep patronizing on me. I am a big girl so I can decide what is best for me. Neither my husband nor my parent can change when I make decision on something. At least, when the decisions turned out bad, I won't blaming others about it. I will keep it to myself and try to mend it...hehehee..I am a pig headed person but it lesser as the time goes by. Am is the person who teaches me about toleration in life. It does not mean my parent did not teach me on the toleration thingy ok! It just when I were young I made or did something based on emotion not a sane thought. Yeah I know it so much patience is needed in teaching a teenager. If I am too stubborn to take on the advice, he will give me a firm word i.e > 'take it or leave it' hahaha..serve me right k..
ok stop the crapping tittle tattle..I need to survey for our trip to Italy. Only a week left before jetting off to Rome..Ciao!

week 20
The preparation show us how fast the time flies. The countdown numbers sometimes make me feel nervous, fear to face the D-day. I do pray everytime after my prayer so that I will give birth at least two or three weeks earlier and easy labour. You know why? The answer is to avoid myself from being induce. The force labour should be more painful than natural way. I think so..oh not just my thinking..most people say so..sigh!
Baby seems to respond everytime I touch my tummy softly. I think she/he knows the touch of his/her mum. I started talking with him/her since last two weeks when I felt the first kick. Subhanallah..the feeling is undescribable. The motherhood sensitivity is very pleasing. Now, I know why a pregnant ladies keep talking about their experiences and all sort. The answer is because, they are so excited to experience it themselves and the chances should be appreciated.
My back pain is getting better after resting on the lazy chair. The chair makes me lean back a bit without putting so much pressure on my tummy so resulting me become less tight or burdensome. Thanks my dear for the chair.
Finally, tomorrow is my second antenatal class at the hospital at 7.00pm. I bunk off once for the first class. So, not for this time..malas tapi.

When a pregnant lady's being rude..
On board, we chose the first coach since we had not got enough time to sit at the other coaches. Right after sitting on the chair, the conductor blew up the whistle and there, the train off from the station. (Earlier this morning, we bought a rail pass and we have to write in details the journey everytime we use the pass. Read it carefully for the whole story.)
When we departed from Antwerp Station, two conductors were sitting by us. They were chatting, laughing and even making fun to each others. They were really looked like somebody off from their duty time..Loitering around on the chairs. I was asking Am to look for a pen to write the itinerary details on the pass. Unfortunately we did not bring any. So I told Am, 'Do u think I should ask a pen from these two conductors?' and Am said, 'do not bother, they must be out of their duty time, and we can ask from the on duty conductor when they come to check our ticket'. I do agree with Am's opinion. Why? Because normally, when we get in the train straightaway the conductor will approach their passengers to check the tickets and they will lend you a pen if you need to fill in the pass without making any complaints and they do not even dare to loitering around like these two monkeys k!
But, tonight the shitty scenario happened to us. The so-called bitchy-lady-conductor made my heart almost exploded.
In ten minutes of our journey, these two conductors started checking the tickets. We were the second people on board that was needed our ticket to be checked. When she stood by me, I said politely..'I am sorry, I forgot to bring my pen, can I borrow yours'? Then straightaway she replied rudely, 'you departed from Antwerp you should fill in the pass earlier.' And I said, 'Yes, I know but I do not have pen to write on it..'..Then she said, 'Why do not u asked me earlier..u saw me sat by u'..And again I replied, ' I thought u off duty because u just sitting there resting ur feet like -just-finished-ur-tonight-shift..'...And she kept saying the same statement which was, why we did not ask for the pen earlier...Oh God..what is the fucking hell la pompuan..
Normally, it does not matter, if you have the pass just ask the pen from the conductor and they will lend you a pen without bitching comments.. Ok fine..And then she said, you need to paid this amount of money..Guess how much? Bloody cost a bomb ok..Euro 55.80 including the fine. And we said,'we are sorry, can u just give me the pen and I fill in the pass without paying the huge amount of money?' And she said, 'yes sorry is sorry but u need to pay it' Trust me, It was not the fine that made felt annoying but her expression and intonation that made me furious... I said, 'we do not have cash..we only have a debit card'..and she said,'No..No..only visa is acceptable'..Bloody no-no to master card either k.
Suddenly, the other conductor came approaching us, and asked the lady what was happening? The lady's conductor said..bla2..as per story above. The guy seemed to let us scot free and just fill in our pass..but the lady insisted on fining us..And politely, the guy said, 'sorry..you need to pay this amount..Next time you have to be extra carefull ok'..And at the same time when Am gave his credit card, I just about to swear out loud with my healthy lungs, kidneys and all on that lady. To show my bad tempered. Angin k! I just snatched our pass in her hand rudely. She was staring at me blankly and I said, 'this is my pass, if u want me to pay the fine, that is it ok..but u do not have to keep my fucking pass'. All the eyes in the coach was staring at me ..I did not care how rude they think I am ok..I am not fucking care..come on..what a scene she tried to make tonight...The rest of the conductors are ok..we never met somebody that so bitchy like this bloody girl..pegi mampus la!
Ok the incident was ended there.And we never seen the lady again after that for the whole journey. How glad we were!
Suddenly, out of the blue...one of the controller man came to each passengers and let us knew the top and shocking news...hehehhe..He asked where was our destination..When I said 'liege', he just said..'ok you just stay where u are..no need to get off and change the train'..but this train will go to leuven first and not use the normal track because there was one guy who is trying to kill himself on the track..So police do not allowed any traffic to go through the track..Oh my God..what?committing suicide? huh..I guess recession to be blamed my be..so here we are..30 minutes late arrived in Liege plus needed to pay huge amount of fine..The journey that I could not forget forever in my life...experience eh? Anyway, thanks to kak khis, abg madzli and fitri for the hospitality..Nasi lemak daun pisang is yummyyyyyyy! toche2..see you all next week perhaps, for our subway dating in Brussels ok.
