Do's and Don'ts

Today is my 11 weeks and 7 days..
Since my 1st visit to my ObGyn, i did some researchs in the internet and reads on alot of articles about what should or should not do, what to eat and not to eat.
Well, after a couple of days going through alot of forums for pregnant mother, i've decide that i just do and eat what ever my doc said, coz the more i read on those articles, the more i get nervous, and too much information will eventually blocked my appetite. Some said, it is recommended to eat a can of tuna, then i read somewhere else that tuna has mercury in it (??). Another article said, it is ok drink coffee in moderation, though some said it is a big NO to drink even a cup of tea because it has caffeine in it.

The good news from all the dont's was that it isn't true, that a pg woman can not drink cold water, or ice water, thank God! It got nothing to do with a baby being so big and a lot of water inside a mother tummy.

I also find out why it is hard for me to go to the Loo, every pregnant woman had this problam, as our hormones are changing, and all the little tiny bit inside our tummy is changing, then the routines of going to the Loo will also changing, this also might cause the stool to become blacker (yup! its tru). Another reason why it is so hard for me to go to the Loo for #2 is the iron vitamin that my doc had given me to take everyday. The solutions are to drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses) per day, eat fruits which high in fibre, eat foods which high in fibre (like cereals) or ask a doctor to prescribe you a stool softener or some laxative medicine.

Anyway, I will stop on reading the do's and don'ts and will continue doing what I do now, and maybe increasing my fruits intake and eating more vegies.

Next week is my 2nd doctor visit, my hubby will be joining me for this next visit :)

The Good News

Just got back from the doctor at MMC...
Was so scared before, but the doctor was so nice, and he was congratulate me on my first pregnancy...
And guess what?? I hv a picture of my 8 weeks baby from the scanner...
I was so surprise to find out the an eight weeks baby already have a heartbeat..

After seing the doctor, i have to get some blood test for viruses
and get some prescription vitamins from the doctor..

Went back to the office, call my dear...sms my sister
Can't wait to go back home to show my dear the picture

I might post the picture in here ... :)

A beautiful creature inside me

Yes..
We are finally going to have a baby..:)
I was late for my periods almost 2 months already, and on friday 3rd March, I bought those Test Pack.
Not the 'sensitive' one but the HCG, coz I did bought sensitive and have my urine check when I missed my period, and the result turn out negative. Thus, I decide to get the more expensive one from Abbot Diagnotic.

On saturday morning the next day, before I used the test pack, my dear was telling me to be really carefull when doing it. So I did...and while waiting for the result, i was pretending not to be so eager about the result, and continue taking a shower. When my dear came into the bathroom, he was the one who check on it and said...Look, It's Positive!

We both were looking at each other and had a big smile on our face.
Finally..We were so worried before, but i think what we need is just a little patience.

I was so happy and wanted to tell my mother. Though, dear told me to hold that idea, until i see the doctor and have him/her said that I really am pregnant.

So I booked a doctor appointment for tuesday morning...
Lets see what happen...

movie

we recently watch the memoir of geisha, kinda dissapointed by the story told in the movie, hatsumomo supposed to be more beautiful than it was. i preffered the book though

10 Things You Need To Know About Mobile Computing and SAP

What is Mobile Computing and SAP all about?
Remember the last time you returned a rental car? The agent scanned you back in, and printed your invoice on the spot. That is Mobile Computing. This ability to interact with a system remotely has now been extended to include SAP.

Where might a company use it?
Warehouses are a great example … use it to track the flow of parts/product – and do your next stock-take using a hand-held bar-code scanner. Airline companies can use it to track luggage, Shipping companies can use it to track parcels, Oil and Gas and Utility companies can use it for field equipment maintenance.

How does it work?
You need a hand-held device (preferably with a bar-code scanner), a RF (Radio Frequency) LAN, some middleware, and of course your SAP system. The RF Network has a limited reach (for example 2,000 ft in open space, and 250 ft in a typical office/retail store) … but is expandable by installing additional RF LAN hardware. The middleware, in any event, is able to retain data should the mobile device go out of range – and resume the connection correctly once the mobile device returns into range.

What is the value proposition?
The value proposition is that the cost (of the hand-held devices, the RF LAN and the middleware) is less than the benefits accrued due to the additional accuracy, speed, flexibility and freedom that mobile computing delivers. In our view most companies could probably find some parts of their business where mobile computing would pay handsome dividends.

Do you have to write additional code?
Yes. Additional code is required on the hand-held device for the input and output screens. Whether this can always be ABAP is unclear, but it seems to be what the some of the vendors are suggesting.

two mangos

this morning, instead of going to SMU, i have to go to this new assignment.
apparently the project that i thought was a brand new one, was actually the old project done by sdi. it was a small distribution company, who main business is selling white goods such as air conditioner, refrigeration, plasma tv and so on. after almost a year since they go lived, a new person has been incharge of reviewing and gathering financial report, which lead to the discovery of issues related to the system implementation.

when we came to sdi early for a quick breifing on that matter, the previous project manager tried to explain that what was being address earlier by the client side was not totally correct. Though, i doubt since i know their reputation (sdi known for their notorious reputation), i wouldn't be surprise if what has been told by the client was true, and now they ask us to clean up their mess. So typical of SDI!

after a short briefing on what was going on, we head to mangga dua, and meets with the client. they don't look very happy, and i wouldn't blame them.

anyway, after 2 hours meeting, we finally come to a conclusion and told them to prepared some sort of review on what they want the system to work, and what business process need to be change or even scrap.

SAP Appreciation

our project has been awarded as the best implementation 2005..wow!
and guess what? this is the second time project that we implemented has been awarded as the best implementation by SAP.
such a proud moment when they announced the award. though we have to stuck in traffic for nearly 2 hours to get to the hotel where they have the appreciation nite. at least dear was happy. :-)

well...what next?
surabaya?

bali - day 3

It's my birthday, woken up by the soft kiss from my love.
He was whispering "happy birthday sayang.." n said he didn't get anything for my birthday. I said to him not to worry, coz i don't need anything for my birthday. What more can a girl want, then to have woken up in a beautiful island with her man next to her on her birthday?

I am getting old, but the thought of it today, didn't disturb me at all, as for today my life has been completed as a grown woman. (",)
God has given me a great family, my dream job, and a great man. Ain't that super?

Enough of the birthday thingy..

Today We are planning to rent a car (along with the driver) to go to Ubud, Sukowati market and some other places in Bali. Yesterday we were encounter in front of the hotel by a man named widhi, he offered us transportation around bali for 300 a day (incl petrol n driver),We asked for a reduced of 50000/day n he agreed, but he said not to inform hotel management, because if renting through hotel management, the rate will be higher than what he offered.

To my surprise, driving from kuta to Ubud (our first destination) will only take half an hour, we grab some lunch at the place called "Indus", it was located up the hill, their food was ok, since the restaurant itself has a concept of Thai food, neverless we enjoy lunches there.

Afterward, we drove down hill to visit an art galery and watch baliness dances exercise by small childrens at the PURA nearby. Around 3, we asked mr widhi to take us to Sukowati market, my dear wants to by t-shirt, which he said can only be found in Sukowati market.

Our next destination place was Jimbaran beach, on the way to Jimbaran, we stoped by at Sanur beach to have a pick at whats going on in Sanur. At the time we arrived in Jimbaran, it was already half past 6, the sun already hit the water level, but we still catch the sunset. Jimbaran's is famous for its delicious seafood meal and its location which is on the beach, where you can enjoy the sound of waves and the freshness of sea breeze. We ordered lobster, muscle, vegies and fish along with white wine. Dinner was served in plates with banana leaves and song was played by a bunch of "pengamen". It was perfect!. After dinner, we went straight back to the hotel to take a hot shower and then walk to HRC which located in front of our hotel.
Spend 2 hours and 2 glass of rockopolitan (another named for cosmopolitan) and walked back to the hotel taking a long walk down kuta's beach.

Today everything went perfect.

bali - day 2

We had been woken up by the fresh smell of the sea. We had breakfast at 9 and planning to walk on the street of Legian and Kuta for the day. The weather seems to have its own way of showing welcome, it was as hot as we expected.

The first thing we’ve noticed about Bali was that their tourism was not as bad as what people said in the News. Though, not as much as before the incident on Paddi’s bar two years ago. It was said that Bali was nearly empty for a couple of months, and people who works in the city had to go back to their village, back to do some farms work.

We had lunch at Kuta’s famous place called Warung Made’s. As we had our lunch, we were discussing about a women who was sitting near us, at the same table with a couple of Australian tourist. This woman was wearing kinda traditional and old fashion clothing, she has Indonesian face, but when she spoke, she sounds like she was American. After half an hour, 2 of her friends came by, another Indonesian woman with an old white man. As they were chatting and making a small talk, I can’t keep myself smiling when I heard her saying that the white man had a face of an Indonesian. How can a white man look like an Indonesian? Then I thought, maybe she was trying to make that man happy, cause from the minute he arrived, he was trying very hard to speak Indonesian.

Anywho..after a long lunch and a couple glass of ice cold lemon tea. We continue our walking for another hour and then hit back to the hotel.

When we were just playing lazy in our room, my love was watching lord of the ring on tv and i was reading a girly novel (4 blondes), we were shocked by the sound of wall cracking. First we thought there was some renovation going on next door, but when another crack came, i looked down on the floor, there was a line of cracked from the balcony to the tv stand. Not long after my dear called for an engineer to check up our room, we were transfered to another room which is closer to the pool and was upgraded to suite room (after i said i don't want to move when they offered to move us to the same grade room but with twin bed..DooOHH!)

On our honeymoon in Bali

 

Bali - DaY 1

Our flight was scheduled at 16:20, we took a cab from Pancoran an hour before that, bearing that our flight will leave as scheduled. But i guess we're not that lucky afterall. After spending 3 hours at the airport (my dear said Lion stand for Late is our Nature) we were flying to Bali at 7:50. Travel time from Jakarta to Denpasar is 1 hour and 20 minutes with an hour time difference between Jakarta and Bali. Thus, we landed in Ngurah Rai airport approximately around 10 pm, 5 minutes waited for our luggages and half an hour to reach our hotel. By the time we settled in our room it was already 10 to 11. Luckily our Hotel was right in the middle of Kuta, so we decided to have dinner near by our hotel, a place called R.aja’s.

We both tired and exhausted but we wont let those people to ruin our honeymoon. At Raja’s, we engage in a conversation with one of R.aja’s waitress, to our surprise he is not baliness, but he’s batakness named Ronald, who thought my dear was from sumatera as well. Well, he told us that its hard for him to find any batak’s girl in Bali (go figure!). I suggested him to go back to Jakarta and join one of jakarta’s famous church where he can find any nice batak’s girl. After a nice cold beer we decided its time for us to head back to the hotel, we were too exhausted to go anywhere.

Dear was giving a sap training 

Dear's family gathering

Yesterday I went to dear’s cousin son baptism dinner celebration. I met the whole family of his auntie from his father side.

First it was kind of awkward when his cousin mention that last year a different woman was introduced as his girlfriend. But then, I realized everyone has they old story. We move on from our past and face the future, hoping that the future will be better.

Today is the beginning of our 2nd week of training; this week will consist of warehouse management training. I’ve just received news that I will be fit in for Steve, and Steve will be assigned for LION instead, because Steve won’t be able to come back soon, and apparently SMU team member are already feel comfortable with me in the team. Well, I’m glad, coz it means that I get to be in the same project with my boyfriend again. J

Oya..mr agus is joining the team today. Agus is dear’s best friend. He was assigned in Yogya for Sari Husada Project.

Val's day?

A week ago, when everybody was so exciting about celebrating what they called as “valentine’s day”, my boyfriend and I started our new project. It was the most tiring day for both of us (and still is), especially for my boyfriend, as he was the one who conducted the training session for mmwm module. We were kind of surprise for the amount of people who join our training session, since we were told it will only attended by 20 people. Thus, we ended up conduct training for 28 people. Imagine answering question for 28 different brains, and trying to make all them understand what you’re saying. We have to walk around from one person to anther, when it comes to exercise time.

My first impression when our team member was introducing themselves was that most of them will be easy to teach (most of them are Science graduate), but in other hand, because so many people within one module, it will be very hard to control they’re work.

On day 2 of our training, some complains were made from our client, luckily it wasn’t from our class. 2 other trainer was being complaint as they were “speaking too fast” or “not clear” etc. My boyfriend was worried that he might get complains as well, but even the Project Coordinator said, our class is the best class from 3. Phuwww…what a relieve…

After finished with training day 3, we both were so exhausted. I went home, had a shower, then sit quietly in front of TV with no intention of increasing the volume until my brother walk in to the room and ask me why did I watched TV with no sounds. Sometimes when I’m so tired, I can’t be bother to do anything else except just lying down watching TV or do nothing…hehehe, I know it sounds kind of wacky. But it does happen to me quiet often.

The 4th and the 5th day wasn’t that bad, we had our rest, and somehow we can get along with all them easily. After work on Friday night, we went home to see my dad, and grab some dinner at KTS.

It was quiet a week. I’ve learn so much from my boyfriend. He knows what he’s talking and delivers the material with detailed explanation.
