What I really want!?

Have not been updating my progress in my blog for some time now.....gosh...having a baby is simply not easy....the sleepless nights....the constant worries (I worry about her not having enough milk to drink...not having enough sleep...having too much sleep....having colic....and the latest...having rashes on her face...on her bottom...*sigh*). Having a kid really makes me appreciate my parents A LOT more now....

Anyway, for the last three weeks I have tried lots of slimming products (of course nothing invasive...it's all Al Natural for the moment because I'm breastfeeding my little girl). So far, I've tried massage & wrap by a Chinese masseuse....jamu massage and wrap by Malay masseuse & the Slimming Body Shower Gel (the one thats selling pretty hot right now).

I have to say that the Jamu Massage is the most effective of all.....the massage is relaxing and soothing...it really sooths out all the stiff & aching joints (not sure if this is the result from constant carrying of the baby, from the old wives' tales of having wind in the system or from the after effect of epidural...I dunno). The herbal properties of jamu radiates heat which makes me feel more relaxed. I could also see an obvious difference in the size of my tummy after I removed the wrap the next day. The Slimming Body Shower Gel did not give me that much satisfaction though I could tell that it had reduced the orange peel skin on my buttocks....the skin does feel smoother now. Another al natural slimming method is breastfeeding. Although, I have to say it's really trying patience but it does help a little in the slimming process...see how much milk I can pump out at one feed!

My task now is to get rid of the awful looking loose skin....that again is another uphill task.










Read the New Paper today about some women going all out to have Big Boobs through impants or augmentation. The obsession stems from the belief that "Bigger breasts imply that a woman is more sexual" I admit I used to envy women who were well-endowed...in fact sorta salivate when I see 'giggly', 'perky' big boobs on the street... I always imagine it to be more fulfilling to hold them in the hands. My other half is very much amused that I've not become a lesbien actually. Well, having a kid gave me bigger breasts, from a A cup to a C cup. You would think I'm happy since it had fulfilled my 'childhood to teenage to adult' secret wish, but to the contrary. Now I want my old boobs back.... somehow pregnancy boobs is far from perfect.

Okay...enough of me grouching....so what do Women Really Want? I guess nobody can really answer that question...not even from a woman herself....but now here are my top ten wishes (in no specific order, if possible...all to be ranked 1st priority):

1. For my baby to be healthy
2. For my baby to have a good and happy life
3. For my other half to love me...& to always think I'm sexy no matter what shape I am
4. For me to get rid of my tummy & loose skin (if possible stretch marks as well)
5. For me to lose another 5kg
6. For me to regain perky pinky breasts
7. To strike toto so that I need not return to work
8. Baby not needing to wake up in the middle of the nights for feed
9. For all my family members & my dog to be happy & healthy
10. For the world to have no natural disasters or wars
