OK! I've decided.. No buffet catering for Darrielle's full month.. Seriously, i see no point in getting 30 guest, in which 15 ppl among them are whom I hasn't met for donkey years, are not even that close to me or even seriously care about my life.. haha.. For the full month celebration, I would buy the Full Month cake from Bengawan Solo which includes 1 whole cake (chocolate, banana, marble), 4 ang ku kuehs, and 4 reg eggs.. This is more than enough for 4 mouths at least.. I might buy 10 or 11 boxes.. this is to my colleagues, and maybe to my ex-colleagues and boss at FREEZE.. And its convenient for me too.. As just below International Plaza there is one Bengawan Solo outlet.. I can just collect from there and head up to my office.. After that, we would have a dinner at restaurant(haven't decide on venue yet.. maybe Noble house or any other good restaurant) for around 10 guests.. Most probably, will be my 2 best friends, maybe with they BF also, my mum, my bro and maybe his GF, and my mum's friend and her son.. Most probably be this la.. Also haven't set yet..
For one weeks, my feet's swelling has went down.. its not as serious already, although its still alittle swollen.. But one discomfort gone, another arrives.. I'm hardly getting a good deep sleep this few night with such heavy body and heavy tummy.. Would end up tossing and turning the night as my shoulder would aching quickly after i changed sides and I can't sleep on my back anymore as my tummy is getting real heavy that it make my back ache and makes the heartburn worst.. and my fingers are starting to swell alittle when in the morning.. it would go away abit after the day progress..
And oh~ everyone.. please kindly say a prayer for me (no matter wat God wat religion wat language also can).. The ISO auditing at my work is at 3rd Mar 08.. which is NEXT MONDAY~! *faint* seriously, i'm so stress that I start getting headache at the thought of it.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE~~ Let me pass this auditing smoothly safely..

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter.
In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition;
but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

What I wanted most for my daughter was that she be able to soar confidently in her own sky, whatever that may be.

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form."

If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers' needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence. ----- Gabrielle Palmer
