Eat Pray Love

-


Ive just finished reading this book by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's SO good i didnt want it to end. I've heard about this book sometime last year but not until i saw the author on Oprah last month that actually made me look for the book and by then, of course, like all other books featured in Oprah, it was sold out everywhere in Sydney. Luckily my MIL got the book for her birthday last year and lent it to me because she couldn't get me a copy (it was on my birthday wish list :p)

Im not gonna spoil it for those who haven't read it yet but in short, it's about the author's search for happiness after a devastating divorce and found pleasure in Italy, peace in India and the balance of both in Bali. I extremely enjoy the Italy part of her story - what with all the Italian men, romance, gelato and especially about the best pizza in the world. To my friend Nog, who's going to Naples soon (i so envy u right now!) this is for you - what Elizabeth Gilbert said in her website in answering a fan's question:


Q:I WANT TO GO TO ITALY – WHERE CAN I GET THAT PIZZA YOU DESCRIBED?

A:Pizzeria da Michele. Order the double mozzarella. If you go to Naples and don’t eat this pizza, please lie to me later and tell me that you did.

I found the above after googling the author & the book - as with other things Im obsessed about and not wanting to end :p Found her official website, the blog and discovered pics of some colorful characters from the book that i've been curious about all the while reading about them! (read the book first!) Besides that, i also found out the BEST news!!!



There will be a EAT PRAY LOVE Movie!!!


woohooo!!


WAIT! There's more!!

Guess who's gonna star as the author???


JULIA ROBERTS baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sooo can imagine her playing Liz (cheh, cam kawan sebelah rumah jek..:p) I enjoyed watching her in Oprah and I loved her in the book - honest & funny. As for the book, it's fun, it's serious and it's got lots of funny & interesting bits and some really relevant useful exciting stuff that would make u want to be in either Italy, India or Bali right away and at the same time, making you feel so thankful & grateful for what u have.

I just can't wait for the movie!

The Last Week

I went for my last check-up yesterday. Everything's good. The baby has definitely turned and is facing the right direction. The heartbeat & movements are strong and there's not enough room for him to move all the way back up again. Just to stretch, kick and punch like crazy.   I also got my Group B Strep (GBS) results and just like my 1st pregnancy, it came back positive. I'm not sure if they do this test anywhere else but what it means is that I'd have to be on antibiotics during labour. It's actually a type of bacteria that about a quarter of women carry in the vagina and there's no symptoms. It doesn't affect me at all but can be quite harmful for the baby apparently. So the antibiotics are necessary to help prevent it being transferred to the baby.   I do have another check-up scheduled for the next 2 weeks, just in case the baby decided to hang around & chill in my belly for a bit longer but the midwife said because Ayisha came quite o...

A week ago, on Monday the 29th June 2009 at 12.03pm our lil'un arrived out of my watermelon tummy weighing 2.95kg, measuring 51cm. YES! It's a girl!! Meet our lil precious one, Ayisha Claire Laidler: I think she has a lot of ME in her ;))) And MAYBE Michael's ears lah. :p She arrived on 40 weeks +1 day, according to the scan & my calendar count, due date was 28th June. But i just realized that Dr Chan's due date on my medical card has always been the 29th June. So yeah, he can have the bragging rights. :p I can't believe it's been a week. I really do wanna take the time and write everything that i can remember right from the start because i had such a wonderful experience having her, i don't ever wanna forget it. But that would have to be spread out over many many posts. I dunno how long i have till Ayisha's up again for a feed and today is the first day i felt i have some me time without feeling too tired and aching everywhere. My parents ...

Presenting...

The next Squeaky!!!! A lot of you guys are absolutely correct! We are going to be a family of 4 by May next year, Insya'Allah. :) We've had 'the code' on our fridge for the last few months but people who came to visit and saw it couldn't guess the right answer. So, bravo bravo bravo!!!! :))) And thank you for the wishes too, we're very very excited! I am 3 months pregnant now and just had my 1st scan few days ago in KL. Looks pretty much similar to Squeaky's 1st scan but I think the nose is not as flat.heheehehh The whole experience is very different than when I had Ayisha, except for the morning sickness. Urgh..I forgot how horrible morning sicknesses can be. By the way, it should be called all day sickness too. I was weak, nauseous & blergh the whole day most of the time and really not up to doing anything. Then the 2nd trimester came and I don't know if it's a mental thing or what but the nausea has somewhat subsided and I think I'...
