Wonky tastebuds
Filed under Parenting & kids
I woke up this morning to a huge mug of fresh milk, courtesy of dear Eric. This has become a daily routine ever since we found out the good news, and I've grown to dread it thoroughly and thoroughly.
Before this whole business of no more periods, I was a milk lover. I used to enjoy drinking Susu Lembu Asli and would purchase cartons and cartons of milk in different brands. So the moment we got our pregnancy positive on the test, I told Eric to get me a can of EnfaMama – ambitious lady that I was, determined to give the growing baby in me every nutrient available. Eric's all about the calcium and pumping me up with whatever's available so that baby doesn't take away the goodness from my bones, so he's always nagging me to 'drink more milk, drink more milk.'
Alas, I didn't count on losing my love for milk completely. Within 3 days I was rejecting wonderful EnfaMama (the can now sits forlornly on a corner of the kitchen counter), and Eric, panicking, decided that I would switch to either Farmhouse, Good Day, Dutch Lady of Marigold, whichever works. Now the daily morning cup of milk is pure torture, and I hate it to death, but each morning, religiously, I hold my breath and swallow it. Later, I'd spend the next one hour desperately trying to keep the milk in, lest I puke it out (I don't have morning sickness, but my body seems to reject foods that taste odd to me).
I've got six more months of milky mornings to go through, so not looking forward to it. *sniff*
p.s. A friend asked me I was still going to call my baby Paul if he were a boy, after the crazy whacking that I've been getting from some very angry commenters (actually there's not so many, just the same person keeps coming in as both Paul and Kenneth and comments incessantly so that's why its getting quite hilarious) in the past few posts, and my take is this: why not? Paul's a good name, and that person is probably a good person who just doesn't hold my opinion. It doesn't take away my desire to name my son Paul. So there's that.

*Takes down notes* Now that is interesting to read. I didn’t know milk could change you like that.
Wonder what happens if you’re lactose intolerant?

regardless of the “active” commentor in ur previous posts, i really think Paul is a wonderful name.
July 24, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Paul is not only a wonderful name, he is also a very very good person.

minishorts, david is still waiting for your apology. you have breached confidentiality agreement by publishing his email address. do the right thing or suffer the consequences. don’t run away from the issue.

minishorts, the person whom you called ‘insensitive ass’ is going for another memorial. don’t forget to tell him you can’t join him because you are pregnant.
July 24, 2009 at 9:08 pm
You are just a squatter in cyberspace.
July 24, 2009 at 10:19 pm
wow oh wow this kenneth is persistent huh?
July 24, 2009 at 10:31 pm
kennethjustwontfuckoff = minishorts with her trademark of vulgarity
kenneth – maybe she thinks she is pregnant so it is legitimate for her to swear at anyone
July 24, 2009 at 10:31 pm
kennethjustwontfuckoff, minishorts is enjoying every minute of it. this is the moment she has been waiting for. I am just a good guy very obliging lor. I’ll stay here till the day she apologises to YB LKS and David.
July 24, 2009 at 10:50 pm
kennethjustwontfuckoff, to tell you the truth, i am a 110% LKS supporter. I’ll defend him at whatever cost. I will not tolerate anyone trying to belittle him. I can’t stand Minishorts for being kurang ajar. To call YB ass at a public domain is unacceptable to me. He went to jail twice defending our rights. He travelled the length and breadth of the country fighting for justice for every malaysian citizen regardless of racial and origin. I believe he is about 72 yo. At this age, he is still working day and night non stop. This pregnant woman just sit on her fat arse, moan and groan and criticise.
July 24, 2009 at 11:02 pm
pauli, as a PR professional, she should understand her target before she swears. Sure, we all make mistakes. she’s beeb given plenty of opportunity to redeem and make peace.
July 24, 2009 at 11:30 pm
minishorts: ….will get some popcorn to enjoy the show
she must be utterly disappointed no one here to entertain her. Amir, where are you??? why are you so silent??
July 24, 2009 at 11:38 pm
minishorts, how much did you pay for that slice of the cyberspace which you now unashamedly claim to be your home?
July 25, 2009 at 12:01 am
kenneth – minishorts should have the maturity to know everybody have the right to do anything they want but they must also face the consequences of it, btw i doubt she will apologize, i wouldnt be surprised if she got bitch-slapped till she apologized one day in public for being so rude and vulgar
July 25, 2009 at 12:23 am
Look at all the Anonymous Cowards.
One of them even claims to be DAP supporter, but using MACC tactics to badger and spam a pregnant lady’s blog.
Yet none of them even dare to leave the URLs to their own blogs/websites.
July 25, 2009 at 12:50 am
Andrew Lim, don’t be a smart arse. not everyone has a blog. in order for our comment to be accepted, we leave our email address, which is suppose to be known only to minishorts. but she abuses the priviledge
given to her.
July 25, 2009 at 11:38 am
Boohoo, my email address got leaked on the internet! BOO HOO!!!
Be a man lah. Grow some balls. Like that also cry.
P.S. David/Kenneth/Paul, you’re pretending to be different people right? Sometimes all your posts in the same minute lol
July 25, 2009 at 2:05 pm
kenneth, usually ppl would just cook up some random email addresses (read: not real email addresses) to protect their “privacy”. and as far as i’m concerned, minishorts.net doesn’t have comments moderation, if she wanna ban u she would’ve done it a long time ago d lor.
July 25, 2009 at 2:17 pm
Andrew, don’t pretend that you do have balls. show me.
so you always go around telling lies and proud of it? stop arguing like a kid.
funny thing, minishorts also think that kenneth and paul are the same person.
July 25, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Smeech, i understand what you are saying. but if you ask someone for his email address and promise specifically that you will not distribute it to others, would you go against your promise??
July 25, 2009 at 3:02 pm
kenneth, i understand where you’re getting at. but just for the sake of mentioning, many flamers even got their I.P. addresses published, so i guess ur case is just a tip of the iceberg la.
moreover, u harping on her blog, demanding an apology from her ain’t gonna work. she’s considered a veteran in her own rights and she’s never really projected a saintly reputation – she’s known for her cynics/sarcasm. even if u call her a bitch, u really think she gives a damn meh? i think she’d be thanking u for generating hits for her blog lor.
chill la. it’s not like she’s published ur home address or anything, so ur privacy/safety isn’t jeopardized. even if she apologizes, then what? ur email address has already been published. are u gonna ask for remedy/damages from her then?
i also understand that this is not my war, so i’m staying outta this. just thought i wanna share my two cents.
good day.
July 25, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Smeech, Thanks.. you are probably the nicest and sensible person here. No, it’s not my email address, but my friend David’s. Frankly speaking it’s no big deal. I am just using this as an excuse to prove a point that’s all – can minishorts be trusted? does she have professional ethics? It never come across my mind the issue of remedy/damages. She’s just childish to start her posting with ‘sue me lah’… hahahhaha
I know she’s not going to give a damn. Her strategy is to keep me here as long as she can. She’s encouraging her friends to cheer her on, as she got ready popcorns to enjoy the ‘entertainment’. This is exactly what she said. Being a good guy, i just oblige lor? this pregnant woman wants attention and i do have a soft spot for pregnant women.
Thanks, you have a good weekend too.
July 25, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Where are your balls? Andrew. Show la. Don’t just talk big. I think you are more a balls carrier than someone who has balls.
July 25, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Can someone tell me if Claire is living a double life? Minishorts the blogger is different from Claire the all charming and lovable pregnant woman? I hope that’s the case.
July 25, 2009 at 7:55 pm
For whatever reason, no matter whether he’s correct or not? If that is so, then you’re right, Smeech is probably the sensiblest person here.
Claire, see, use WordPress summore la. If use Blogger ma no such issue lo. People dono you’re not tech-savvy enough to change the commenting function provided by default by WordPress de.
Or else just change that part to “Mail(may be published)(required).”
*throws up* …Sorry.

July 25, 2009 at 8:33 pm
zefi, if only you know me personally.. i am really really a good guy. why would i stick around here if i am not? hehhhehehe
As for pregnancy fetishism.. oh well.. oh yeah. i mean.. hahahhaha.. would you like to exchange notes??
July 25, 2009 at 8:41 pm
but then you are just a kid.. what do you know???
July 25, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Lurker and minishorts.. would LKS have to get your persmission to tweet from the parliamnet as well? no one seems to have any problem with that. do you??? whatabout Jeff ooi and tony phua blogging in the parliament?
July 25, 2009 at 9:11 pm
why on earth commentors care whether she lives double life or not… even if she lives multiple life also none of your business right? unless, your tail is so long and she accidentally stepped on your tail (or maybe you should take care/keep your long tail instead)… =)
July 25, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Hmm… Good question. Why would you be sticking around if you’re not a good guy… Trolling, perhaps?
If growing up is to be like you, I’ll pass.
July 25, 2009 at 9:21 pm
We kepochi what. You got problem with that izzit? Don’t read comments lah.
July 26, 2009 at 12:03 am
i no problem with that also… since you already admit you kepochi =)
by the way, you left your tail ‘straying’… *opps*

*goes back to topic of wonky tastebuds*
aren’t there other more palatable sources of calcium you could try? i’m assuming you’re drinking all this milk for the calcium and protein right? protein you can get from eggs and meat. but the calcium you can also get from fortified rice/wheat, fish (sardines, tuna, salmon), beans, nuts, green leafy veg and, best of all, ice cream!

Hi there,
You should be “very thankful” that God has given you a healthy child. I’ve just had a miscarriage this week after almost 9 weeks of pregnancy and the feeling is really, really painful. You may not feel the pain because you are enjoying your pregnancy and that itself is a blessing from the Lord.
As a sister-in-Christ (although we are strangers), my advice to you is to love one another whether the person is a stranger or not. We will never know when we need their help. After my incident, I’ve come to realise that human beings are not perfect and we have to accept them as they are and I’m thankful for all those strangers (i.e. nurses, doctors, etc) who helped me through this difficult time. This is not a lecture but then again I feel we should always respect each other whether we like it or not.
Take care and enjoy your remaining 6 months.
July 26, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Elaine,
May the love of God be with you always. May He grant you peace and strength to take you take through this difficult time. God bless you and your hubby.
Yours in Chris,
David
July 26, 2009 at 11:38 pm
minishorts, I don’t really care whether you apologize or not. I just want to wish you well. May you continue to experience the love of God as you prepare yourself for the role of motherhood. God bless you and Eric.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (King James Version)
5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Amen.
