What's this pain??
2008-02-03 06:32:00
I am almost embarrassed to say this but I think I've slept like twelve hours last night!I was not feeling too great yesterday. My best friend came a visiting. If you don't know what that means, well... anyway.. it's her first visit since my operation, so I really did not know what to expect. But when she came, she came with cramps, nausea, backache and pain.Yes, extreme pain! I was experiencing heart burn, tummy ache (you know the kind that makes you feel you need to go but not quite) and the whole area where I was operated on hurts like sh*t!. It was worst than when I just woke up from GA! I can't even stand straight!I took two panadol tablets and had an afternoon nap and when I woke up around dusk, I was feeling better but the cramps came back around 8pm and the full "nerve" network started again. So I had dinner, took the painkiller that Dr Fauziah prescribed me for after the operation and went to bed at 9pm. I think there's some sleeping thingy in it as well coz I only woke...

One Tired Lady
2008-01-31 19:33:00
Wow! What a tiring day!I had quite an early nite yesterday but still I woke up feeling sleepy at 9am this morning. Maybe it was because of my disturbed sleep coz of the early nature call at 6am! Ever since my operation, I can hardly hold on to anything these days..lolzzz..Anyway, went to hubs office today to finish off the company's account that is due for submission to the auditors firm in February. It was my first day there since the operation and all that long sitting is now giving me a blinking backache. What's worst is hubby can't give me a back massage as I can't lie on my tummy yet! Ouchhhhh!!!I guess he can massage me while I'm sitting..hehehehe...Can you believe we just got home 10minutes ago coz hubby just got news he got the big project and all needs to be completed by Chinese New Year! Yikes, when it rains, it pours, I guess!Ok, off to the shower and then straight a bed. Got an early day tomorrow again! Got to accompany hubby to the mechanic once again to repair hi...

My Imaginary Weight Problem?
2008-01-30 16:50:00
What is it with women and the weighting machine? I woke up early today and decided to weigh myself. Who know? After my surgery and the removal of those three alien things, I might weigh lighter! Lolzz... What a bunch of crab but hey I won't know until I get on that darn weighing machine. My hubby keeps saying this weight problem of mine is just imaginary and that all I need to do is tone up but darling, scales don't lie!So the moment of truce. I got on the scale and OMG! I gained one kilo! How did that happened?? Arghhhh!!! If not for the fact I am done with laparoscopic procedure for the time being, I might just consider getting one of those lap-band Woodlands procedure. Dr. Richard Collier sure has done lots of these procedure before and for those of you that are interested, there's a free seminar on the topic in February. Too bad I'm not in the area otherwise I would not miss it for the world.Cheerio...

Alphabetical Links
2008-01-29 19:03:00
Oh no! Not another meme! Lolz.. but I kinda like this easy tag from Ratu Syura, something different I thought. So here goes:Rule #1Copy all the links below and replace a single link under the appropriate alphabet. If your domain name, or even the title of your blog, starts with an "A," you'd replace the link under that alphabet and put the replaced link at the bottom. Also, don't forget to credit the tagger, or where you got the list from, at the end of the list with a full URL of the post so that a pingback gets generated.1. A. acowboyswife.com2.

Appointment? What Appointment?
2008-01-28 16:36:00
What is it with doctors and appointments? They say to call for appointment and then we come on the appointed date and time, it's pretty much a two hour wait. Or is it only with the popular doctors only?You might be wondering what I am ranting about. Well I had an appointment with my gynae today for my three weeks visit after my surgery (fast eh?) at 2.40pm. I purposely asked for an afternoon appointment coz the last time I had an appointment with her at 11.20am, I ended up going for lunch, coming back from lunch and waited again till 3.30pm! A whole day wasted!Anyway I thought I play it smart this time and requested for a time after lunch and 2.40pm was given to me. I arrived on time and there was like seven patient in front of me. You know what time I eventually went in to see my gynae? 4.30pm! Can you believe that!Is this the norm at any specialist clinic especially the obstetrician and gynecologist department? What does appointment mean then if you have to wait like two hours to...

What is the first thing I grab and the last thing I let go off every day? Ok! Times up!Jeng, Jeng, Jeng...It's my glasses! Anyone got that right? Hehehe. I am blind as a bat without them so if you want to be my enemy, play with glasses and you'll have a sworn avenger on your hands!..heheheheBut seriously folks, I really can't see a thing without them. I tried contacts before when I was junior college but I ended up having conjunctivitis instead. Something about protein residue or something and it got so bad that I was given medical leave because of that. It was not that I love school so much but it was my "A' Level's year and I can't afford to not attend any more lectures if you know what I mean.Anyway, back then, glasses were glasses. No style you know. As I look back at all my old photograph, I wondered how I ever let myself out of the house.lolzz..plus they were so expensive. My prescription was pretty high, so I had to use those special kind of lenses that was super high i...

Ahh.. this is the life..
2008-01-25 14:47:00
I am so loving my life right now. I am, even as I am typing this, just waiting for Nigella's Feast to come on again after an advertisement. Yes friends, I am in front of the tv with Miss Fly, using my LAN wireless connection.Yeay!!! I now, don't need to be stuck in my home office anymore. I can surf the net from anywhere at home.We've always have shared internet connection before so that means even with one Streamyx line, me on my computer and hubby on his PC called "Skull", can surf simultaneous using our home network system. But it was always wired connection so we always needed to be in the home office and it was fine with both of us.Then, Miss Fly came into the picture and has an in-built wireless lan networking capability, so hubbs, being the Dukun Digital, bought a wireless router, hooked it up to the modem and presto, I am really mobile. I can even blog while I'm doing my "business" if I wanted to! Lolzzz... Awesome or what!Thank you hubbs for making life soo fantastical...

Not in Singapore? Think again!
2008-01-24 13:33:00
I had the shock of my life today when I exchanged email with a friend of mine in Singapore over my fibroid adventure.She told me that she had a cyst removed from her left ovary last year as well. It seemed she was having very bad pain around the stomach area first and the next day, the pain spread to the right. She was unable to even stand up on her own and needed to be wheeled into the A&E unit of the hospital.The doctor suspected it was her appendix and operated on her. However she was still experiencing the same pain on her left side after the operation and when her doctor came in to check up on her, she told him about it. It seemed that although her appendix was inflamed at the time of the surgery, it was only about 4.5cm which was not really that bad to warrant a surgery.They did an ultra scan after that and found a cyst in her left ovary. She then had to go back to her gynae and he was appalled that the hospital did not do a scan before they operated. It had been a w...

I've Gotten So Lazy

I was over at Emila's blog earlier on and saw the handphone pouch that she knitted. Really awesome Emila. Well done.I remember a long long long time ago, I used to crochet, knit and sew! I would knit even when I was in public transportation. Such was passion coz I reckon in the end it would have been cheaper to just buy the end product. But "Nooo" I love creating things and when I put on the blouse for instance, it makes me feel proud that I am wearing something one of a kind.Hmm I can't find any picture of any of the things I've sewn (probably in Singapore lah).

Before Miss Fly came into my life, I was PC hopping from my hubby's desktop to hubby's laptop and to the office pc. My data was all over the place. That include pictures and videos and some are very private ones mind you. I always make sure I have them copied to my flash drive and delete those pictures but being human, sometimes I forget. That's why I'm so excited when I stumbled upon this site that offers a way for me to hide files of my private photos. You might ask ask how is it better than password-protected zip files. Well this software is much more convenient and secure. You can bet I will use it for Miss Fly too coz you'll never know what eyes might be prying!Cheerio...

I just got to share this with my women readers.. And they say women never listens eh?... hahaha!A man and his wife receive a letter from their daughter who went to study overseas:My beloved Parents, I miss you so much.

So enclosed you will find a bottle of a potion I have invented. It will make you young, so when I return you'll be the same age as I left you.NOTE: "Please take only one drop"So they open the envelope and in it there is a bottle with a red potion.. The husband looks at the wife and says: "You go first."So the wife opens the bottle and takes a drop, there after the husband follows. Indeed they do turn 5 years younger.A few years passes and the daughter returns home to find her mother young and beautiful, carrying a baby on her back. The mother proceeds to tell her daughter how the potion worked and made her look young.The dau...

Be My Valentine
2008-01-18 20:09:00
Back when I was in school, I remember how Valentin e 's day was such a big deal. Boys would save up to buy flowers for their girlfriends and girls without boyfriends would make a deal to buy flowers for each other just so they could carry around stalks of roses that day. Luckily I was never one of those girls. Not because I had a boyfriend but because I did not really believe in valentine's day. I mean, everyday should be a "love' day rite?Then when I had my first boyfriend, we decided that Valentine's day would be every day for us. I must admit that it was kind of nice to receive flowers even without any special occasions. So we continued not celebrating Valentine's day and just had fun looking at those couples that did.Now I'm married and hubs share the same sentiments. Every day is made for loving. Everyday is a cause for celebration and we can celebrate it any way we want.So why wait for one special day to express your love when each day can be 14th February!Cheerio...

Chicken, Chicken, Chicken
2008-01-18 19:12:00
Do you know what I have been eating ever since I'm recuperating? I have to take care of what I eat. For example, I can't eat any seafood like prawns, squid and cockles for fear that the wound would itch as it heals. I got to stay away from certain fruits for fear of too much acid in the tummy and I got to take some tonic that I don't really enjoy just because it's good for healing.Luckily for me though, I'm still able to have my chicken. What can I say? I love chicken and you have to admit it is healthier than beef or mutton. Plus chicken is so easy to prepare and cook. You can fry it, you can easily marinate and roast it or even grill it just like El Pollo Loco?s Mexican chicken. Yummy!By the way, you can view funny videos about El Pollo Loco's Grill chicken over at the website.Cheerio...

Recuperating is Difficult
2008-01-17 11:18:00
How do you slow down when your body feels fine? How you not do any work when you feel ok? That is how I feel right now. It's about two weeks now since my surgery and I feel great. My wound is healing nicely and the tautness that I used to feel surrounding the area is gone. Except for the slight discomfort when I sneeze, cough or laugh, I am able to do most work that I used to do before my surgery.Not if mommy dearest has anything to say and do about it. Just today, she called me after seeing my online picture of my fibroids and asked what I was doing. I told her I was frying chicken and she goes "are you doing work?". I went like "ya".I know she means well and she cares and she keeps telling me that on the outside the wound might look like it has healed but inside it is still healing. I understand that but I got to eat mommy...lolzzz....It's ok mommy love, hubbs is taking good care of me but I am ok and I still need to move about, my bum is still numb from sitting and lying in bed...

Hey Ma, Calls are Cheap Now

From what I read at their website they are now offering Unlimited Calling Plan worldwide. For just a small amount of $29.99 per month, I get unlimited calls to any destination I like which means I can call mommy for as long as I want!

Consolidation - The Way to Go...

Keeping your discipline when shopping is never easy. A friend of mine just don't have enough of it. I got a phone call early yesterday morning from J. She sounded frantic and she was talking in circles. Once I calmed her down she told me that her finances are in chaos and her debtors are out to get her. It seemed my dear friend has multiple credit cards and had gone on a shopping spree last Christmas and now she can't afford to even pay the monthly minimum.Hmm.. time for some serious intervention. I advised her to get a personal loan immediately so that she can pay whatever amount is outstanding on all her cards to avoid any unnecessary interest. This way she now need to pay only one creditor and as personal loan carries a lower interest rate, she can save from that as well. I then advise her on the evil of credit cards! ( me older than her, so lots of experience in that department..lolz). I also told her to use caution the next time she uses any credit card and make sure she alw...

First they jacked up the prices, then they change all the channels to three digits which personally drive me nuts. Now they re-classify some of the channels to different categories which literally mean you have to subscribe to view those channels now.Yeap! I am talking about Astro !. As much as I love their prompt services and the fact that because of them I have lots more channels to choose from, I can't help but think they are manipulating us just because they are the only provider so far.My grievance? Well, yesterday night, hubby was all set to watch his channel 734. I think it was the program Fifth Gear or The OCC when he called out to me saying that the channel is not in our subscription. I went like "huh?". We were just watching three or four hours ago.All the other channels worked well so I know it's not because we forgotten to pay the bill or something. So I surfed to their website and lo and behold, found out that now channel 731 to 734 are now classified as "Metro" channe...

I had to scoop them out bit by bit lah.. There goes thirty minutes of my life :(Lucky for me, there isn't any scorpion around or something here in the apartment. However, I heard that in the Phoenix area, the bark scorpion, the most dangerous type of scorpion can be found in house dwellings. Luckily a Phoenix scorpion exterminator is just a phone call away. Blue Sky Pest Control has a very successful service plan that works. Their premium service is fully guarantee. So if you are in Phoenix and is having problems with scorpions, why not try their free pest evaluation and get $50 off their Blue Sky Service Plan.As for me, I'm still fighting with ants.
