Addiction.....

I'm currently addicted to this :



I've known about the series years ago, when it first showed in Astro...tapi tak tgk, i think its becoz we didn't subscribe the movie channel masa tu..or i rather watch something else masa tu..

anyway, this time around, came as an accident. Fitri loves war movies, esp. the second world war...it was in the middle of the nite, dahlia dah tidur and i had to fold the laundry...

seperti biasa, fitri will temankan i do my chores and while doing that, he was watching this. suka tak suka, i kena tgk....and terus tertawan ok? tak kisahlah i dah missed beberapa episode pun..

(since i malas nak menaip pepanjang tgh-tgh malam ni, i got this from Wikipedia) : Band of Brothers is a 2001 ten-part television World War II miniseries based on the book of the same title written by historian and biographer Stephen Ambrose.

The narrative centers on the experiences of E Company ("Easy Company") of the 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, from Easy's basic training at Toccoa, Georgia, through the American airborne landings in Normandy, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of Bastogne and on to the end of the war[1].

since that day, i would tgk whenever its repeated over the idiot box until one day, i basically racun fitri to buy the box set..heheheh.

gila tak gila, i even surf the net to find out about the real E company (where the series is based on)...! hehehe....

i seriously think this is one of the best series i've watched. and yes, they d have good looking guys (i could imagine fitri's rolling his eyes when he reads that part..) but thats beside the point.

the series connects you to the characters. it showed how the war effected these ppl, and others around..it showed how the war was...(of course dalam ni semua special effects, i think the real war lagi teruk la kan)

fitri has been patiently educating me about the military e.g ranks, the grouping and the strategy...of course, some of it i still tak berapa nak paham...



anyway, this series actually mengubah my minat towards war movies. i really dig it.

of course, kalau locally made movie i akan tgk bukit kepong...yg u je pun yg i ingat. sarjan hassan tak tgk sampai habis....hmmm...maybe i shoud buka semula my old buku sejarah to read about our own war...

jees & apin (i know u guys are waiting for me to say this), my fave character is doc. eugene roe. cute ooo! :-P oh, leut. spiers pun ensem gak (dia yg berlakon jadi bapa siapa ntah dalam gossip girls)

My wishlist for no reason....

Currently these things have been playing in my mind...

i would like to think it as something i really-really want, tho tak tau should i buy it now or just wait later-later....anyway, just in case i tak terlupa suatu hari kelak :-




Item
: Hotmama pouch

Justification
: Since Dahlia is getting bigger and suka sangat kena dukung whenever I'm around (and when anyone else nak dukung dia, dia takmo lepas i), i'm contemplating of getting this for myself.

We do have the mothercare's baby carrier yang letak baby kat depan tu, but this pouch is to carry bila nak jalan-jalan around the house.

Lagipun its more comfy for me to dukung hip supported berbanding support tengah. (abit tak betul, but bila pakai the baby carrier, sakit bahulah, i think becoz dia takde the pelvic support, weights should be bourne at the pelvic and not the shoulder..)

And i kinda of like the fabric this lady ada, esp the blue version of the picture....tho, its is a bit pricey....maybe i should get a cheaper version kat mom's care je...same kaedah pun, just material dia samalah dgn orang lain..hehe.

Or, i could just get it from Tiny Tapir, baru terperasan dia ada diskaun for he littlepods pouch. its now only RM45! (gambar below, and yes, i want the green version..hehe)






Item
: Medela Swing Breastpump

Justification : I think i need a new breastpump....sebabnya i think the one i currently pakai tidak mengoptimumkan pemerahan...well either that and mmg my milk supply low...but then, i've always wanted this model, sebabnya dia nampak portable and lebih kecik berbanding the big bag i have to carry to the ofc everyday...i do wonder how good it is, sebab mmg banyaklah positive reviews over the net...

selain kos yang mahal (it is almost rm800 sebelum diskaun), is due to the fact, dahlia now almost 10 months old and dah mixed feed. is it too late for me to buy this? or should i just wait for the next one? *jeng jeng jeng*....

hahah...nolah, belum lagi....if ada, i'll definitely let you know..whateveris it, hopefully dapat lepas dahlia celebrate her 1+ birtday...

a friend said she tested a medela pump dulu (i tak tanya which model) and said its good...i do wonder if their office now allows testing....hmmm....but then again, back to my predicament - should i wait?




Item : Somethin' Urby : How tall are you?

Justification
: Since we'll be moving to our own place soon...(how soon tu tak taulah but we'll be hopefully get our keys tak lama lagi), i was thinking of decorating dahlia's room with this...

i think its cute and i have to admit a few other stickers yg cantik ada lagi kat that site...hmmm...but it is pricey. ntahlah.




Item : Safety 1st : Secure Top Bed Rail

Justification : Dahlia LOVES playing on our bed. its her little playground, her little world where the pillows and our bodies become her obstacle course/or a world filled with adventures. she would roll, panjat, tumble here and there...at times, she moved so fast, u barely sempat tarik her tiny legs...i want this bed rail so that dia tak tumble ke bawah...

apart from that, kalau i terlena while feeding her, and she decides to roll, taklah jatuh kan? at least ada la sikit protection daripada takde langsung..

** All these hanya dalam pemikiran pada masa ini, tetapi i for sure kena beli babygate soon.....since dahlia dah sangat terer merangkak laju...oh, and also her front facing baby chair....that one definitely keperluan dan bukan kemahuan..hehe..
