Jovians, Rizman&Family Story..

For this entry, I will be writing about Jovian collection. My 1st Jovian was bought last year. Nicely beaded long dress. Unfortunately, only best worn when you are slim and slender. I bought in size XL during sale of course. I've never had opportunity to put on the dress, cause when the dress was bought, I was gradually putting on more and more weight. Everything start from Raya 2015. My last weight was 61kg and diving up to 67kg. Poor me. End of last year, only then I realized I was pregnant. So, I think my weight was about 67-68kg when I started my 6th pregnancy. Its been a great relief when the children have grown up and independent. The pregnancy story its like a breaking NEWS for our family. Unexpected, speechless and I'm not ready for sure.

At first I was very excited cause I was dreaming to have 3 boys and 3 girls in the family. I was praying if the 6th could be a girl. But, I was wrong cause it is a boy in my womb. Hearing the truth after our 1st scan, I was saying to myself, this is more than enough in our family. There will be no more attempt for making babies..cause there answer could be 'boy'..and 'boy'..I have no intention to have many boys in my family. But, the kids keep on saying if we could have additional boy after Emil was born. Harris was suggesting if we could name our 6th as Throne on few years back even mommy is not yet conceived. Owh boy...now, your wish has come true.

In few months we will be expecting boy addition in the Family. We had several scan including the detail scan. It was real dreading when meeting the doctor and the nurse for scan when you are pregnant at age over 35 years. I just praying may Allah give us strength and healthy baby. I'm still and always praying may good thins happen. I hate when the doctor or nurse talking about indicator this and that. My 1st session after detail scan appointment was really daunting... with the signs they've found from the scan result. I had my 2nd detail scan few days back. Funny enough, the 1st daunting news not even been said by the nurse who did the scan. Sometimes, I just hate with the technology introduced nowadays cause it just can make your life unhappy and miserable-affecting your emotion. At my 1st scan, the nurse was talking about the baby was really down at my womb with his head breach. Such new, even though it is not a guarantee the baby will be born in breach condition...already make your life in misery and now in my 2nd detail scan, the nurse confirmed the baby has changed his position. Based from my story, to my dear friends out there, who are pregnant at age above 35...always be prepared mentally when seeing doctor and nurse..for any of their say..during your appointment session...whether good or bad news. I tried to comfort myself to be happy. Make myself busy with my children who always long for attention.

Lets talk back abt Jovian. For the first, I was not that keen to spend money on Jovians' collection. Few years back I was still conventional for online shopping. Worrying the money I spend only will be not as per expectation. After many times frustration with so many tailors that I've tried plus their expensive charged, I begin to swift my shopping for ready made clothes. Being a designer, I think Jovian knows what is the perfect match for his Clients. Name it the fabric as well as dimension or fitting. My 2nd Jovian was Jusira. Bought as well during last year fasting month. Unfortunately the sleeves are way too long for me. The kurung just hang on my dressing rail untouchable and wrapped in the plastic wrap.

Last Ramadhan, I was blessed for having opportunity to try with few designers touch. One of them was Rizman Ruzaini. I bought 1 peach kurung from his collection. Very nice. Again, unable to fit me after my weight damn rocketing up.

As this year, I was blessed cause Jovian open his outlet near to my work place. Bought my 3rd Jovian aka my 1st collection 2015 Art Decor-baju kurung and dress at crazy slashed price. Starting from there, Ive spent my ringgits at his outlet including Jubah that can fit well during my last pregnancy. For this pregnancy, I've found my shopping frenzy for overseas brand almost vanishing. Probably because nowadays, we have many good brands in Malaysia to try with. My 1st try Bella Amara wasn't that good. Only wore the jubah for few times as I hate to see my panties line when putting on the Jubah. Of course with current weather, I really hate to put so many layers on my body. I can say, Ive spent most in local brand for this time pregnancy. Wherever possible Ive tried to avoid pants as they can make me restless and very stuffy. Of course, If I had given a choice, I would rather not to wear anything. Argghhhh, I hate for being big like hippo. But, its no way for me to complain, cause it is really me who ruin and spoil my body. Almost everyday, I will haveTarik and sweet things in my body. I'm very much prone to sugar as my stress relief.

My 4th collection from Jovian was a long dress continued with my 5th and 6th are their long cardigan. I did spend on their anak tudung. Soft in colour but unfortunately does not fit well on my head. I did spend hundreds for my girls kurung..Worth spend for ready made and quality.

My long silence 2015...

Its been long time since my last post..Among the reasons why this blog has been long abandoned:

1. Busy with commitment. Harris was 12th last year..Being maidless with busy schedule at home and work..never been easy to juggle. Yes, we had maid on and off somewhere end of last year. The first last for about 3 months. Then, we were offered by agent for another replacement. Nonetheless, the replacement was even worst than the 1st..as she last only 2 weeks with us..The 2nd maid was with us for about 3-4 days. Very good, obedient and I can say hardworking too..I guess, she actually had better plan even before she joined us. She brought her heavy bag pack with her when we said to her that she would be staying with my mom for a week together with the kids. I can say, its never been cheap taking maid. We were paying about 7.5k to the agent and when the 1st maid ran away, we were obliged to pay the agent for additional RM 500 that she so called as registration fee and the 3 months salary. Our 1st maid in 2014 named was Tini. She is nice lady and clean. However, she is too fragile and homesick. Because of that reasons she became very sensitive even with every small things we talked to her. As an employer with another commitment at office, I have no interest to know in deep when she has started to 'mengada2'. But, I really pissed off when I came to know in the end that she was returned by her 1st employer because her tricked to be returned to her hometown was not working. Whether or not she was pretending with her ex-employer that she was sick, I really have no idea. But, the story broke when she was talking to my mom about her thought for being sick with her ex-employer to be sent back right away to Indon was unsuccessful. Instead, her ex-employer sent her back to agent. Everything was so pleasant in the 1st week she was with us and she started her drama during Raya Haji when she was asking for my SIL maid to call her husband. That was the starting point she started very weak and sick! She was vanishing from home when left her at house while attending my 3rd &4th born end of the year ceremonies. Few weeks past, we had replacement. Her name is Us. She was from the same origin as Tini. But, perhaps, it wasn't our luck to have a maid. Us was running away end of last year. The funny thing, she was running away from my mom house without any reasons. My mom kept saying, shes leaving because she didn't want follow me back home. I just ignored, whatever, my mom said. Because I knew, that I wasn't do anything wrong to her. She was with me only 3-4 days and the rest she was with my mom back at kampong and I knew she hadn't much work to do as compared when she was at my home. She was not even do any cooking at my mom house except helping. Beginning from this bad experience, we have no more trust to maid from Lombok. Even, based from my reading over the net, most maid from Lombok came here for stepping stone. After they been located with their employer, they will run away to find their loved ones. Just about the same story as Tini. Yes, it is true, very painful to see your money flowing out without much return or even break even. Investment on maid for last year, really not putting us in a good luck. Even though it was painful, I believe there is beauty behind the disguise. Better they are leaving us now cause we believe Allah knows what best for us.

2. We've been in tight schedule to juggle between work and family. Both of my elder kids went for night tuition. H/ever, we stopped them from the night tuition center and tried for private tuition teacher. The fees was damn expensive. But, kids were happy with the teachers.

3. I was pregnant again.

4. We have staff attitude issues at office that really drive me crazy and thanks Allah, now, our office environment getting better after those baddies leaving, huh! How can you work with someone who have no respect to you? Or staff although has been appointed as leader, taking advantage of his subordinate works without proper checking?? We had strict implementation commencing last year. Beginning from the strict impose we can see people start to respect policy and those unable to align with the Company is leaving. But, we have no regret, people leaving especially those unwillingly to show any improvement even though with number of counselling or improvement session.

5. Last but not least..I forgot what is the username and password of blog. Haha!
