One down...,seven more to go


I hate, hate, f***** hate school right now. I wonder how is it that my lecturers enjoy givin me, and of course my class mates, heart-breaking assignments. In this four month semester alone I have 8 of such assignments; after days of sleepless nite, stayin off facebook and not eatin well I finished one of them. This is one of the reasons why I love being in my free and doanytinhome cos then I dont ever think of readin journals that dont make any sense and then writin a 15 page essay out of it. Craaaazy I would say cos I can envisage Dr Priyadarshini Srinivasan ( awesome name), my lecturer laughin her b**t off simply as a result of the absolute rubbish I successfully wrote and submitted, and again the whole essay was full of copy and paste from various pages online. Now that am writin this, I rily wish I was sure of what I wrote and made out of my 15% assignment, but itz over now at least I av submitted and notin more can be done. Even worryin wont change a thing, so who cares? I dont.
Writin a 15 page essay was apparently no joke, so after everytin I decided to give myself a treat hahhaha... Nando's, here I come






On my way to Nando's with my joyous friend, I bumped into this, no sorry met cos bump will be like rushin into or runnin him down. Now seriously, I saw my bf's friend who told us about this bistro where yummy food is sold and that was how we forfeited Nando's to go eat there. I like Nando's cos it sounds like my name and reminds me of the fact that am also goin to become a household name some day... but this guy sounded so convincin and for a naija guy to sound this way about food here in Malaysia, I thought it was worth tryin.

Back to food, since I came here I have never eaten food like this. Come to think of it, I dont even remember what it was called, all I know is that it tasted awesome and yeah I took a picture of it





When next I see my friend I'll ask for the name cos itz so unserious of me to eat food without rememberin the name. Mhen, this dish was the bomb. I must confess that I ate two plates cos one wasnt enough for me and it tasted hmmmmm like....




This is Rainforest Bistro where awesome food, delicious rice is sold!


That sounded like an ad, I know, and am thinkin it truely is cos everyone needs to try that rice to really understand what am trying so hard to type now.

When I was done eatin, homeward bound, I was set to go home where I always wan2 be. Now am on my bed, typin and reminiscin on the amazin meal, or better still meals since I had double portion. I had a great time today, yet it was a tirin day when I think of my assignment and the fact that I have only one down..., seven more to go :(( :(( :(( :(( :((

Baby Cries......




Am trying so hard to imagine how the cry of my baby will be (when I av one). I was completely lost in class today when Miss Elaine played a video about baby cries and how to understand what they are trying to communicate. Itz awesome to know that the only way babies communicate is when they cry, that is the only language they av so it is vital for them to cry.
Just then, I thought of women back home (naija) who usually say “I don’t like it when babies cry, it makes me sick...blah blah blah” and they go on tryin to make themselves look like caringconsciousmothers.

I actually dislike it when a woman comes from no where and tries to prove she can and will calm a crying child only to carry the baby for a while and nothing happens; I wonder why some people wont just mind their business.
It was very comforting thus to know that when I av a baby, I don’t need to bother about bizzy body women tryin to calm my babies when they cry or dictate to me what the baby needs.
Kudos to Dunstan who has great hearing abilities and studied babies enough to let someone like me know that I can study my baby, listen careful when they cry to know exactly what they are trying to communicate to me.









NEH- very important, says "am hungryyyyy"

OWH- says am tired/ look out for the oval shaped mouth!



HEH- uncomfortable and needs a change of diaper or too hot/cold


EH- says "burp me up mummy"





EAIRH- lower wind pain. This calls for immediate action cos it means great pain for the baby.


Itz not easy to hear the baby make these sounds and even be sure I am hearing the right thing, but since I know I guess am one step ahead. My baby, babies will have no cause to worry since mummy will be there to always know what is needed and meet the need

This is great news, and am positive that I'll do it well because I will have enough time for my babies. Afterall, all I rily wanna do is stay at Home.....

Now I know


I have never being so sure of anything in my life than I am now. My day is so so boring and conventional;In the morning at 8:30am I go to school and sit for 3 hrs of borin lectures after about every 1hr. I stay till around 5pm, and then the real fun begins when I get home.
There is nothing particularly special about my house though, I stay alone in a two room apartment. Most of my friends think that'll cause loneliness but far from it, I love it at home- in my COSY apartment. I can do whatever thing I want to, eat whatever I deem fit, watch Tv, whatever without restriction or the need for any form of approval BE it societal or indidvidual. What matters most is that, when I feel like doing anything in my house, I do it.
I feel happy; I feel satisfied when am at home. I just simply love it, what I hate is being told what to do, how, when, where and why I should or should not do things.
It breaks my break and creates ultimate dissatisfaction for me. There is absolute freedom at and in my house. Awesome! It makes me feel on top of the world, and now am so so so sure more than ever that, all I really wanna do is Stay at Home :)
