The Stork Club

I wanted this book but I couldn't find it in bookstores - I've searched for this book at Popular, MPH, Borders. To make it short, let me share some review & description about this book (taken again from amazon.co.uk).


Product Description
'When I was a teenager, I thought you could get pregnant from sitting in a jacuzzi. Not that I'm sure I even knew what a jacuzzi was, but I knew they were racy places where racy things happened. Men, as far as I remember, didn't even have to be there. So long as they'd been in the water in some sort of excitable state, pregnancy was inevitable - even if you kept your pants on. You see pregnancy was that easy, that dangerous and it could ruin your life. Almost 20 years later and pregnancy could still ruin my life. Although now it is not the threat of what having a baby would do, but of not having a baby at all. I have been trying to get pregnant for two years and have not even come close to hearing the pitter-patter of tiny feet...' So begins "The Stork Club", Imogen Edwards-Jones' very personal, very moving and very funny memoir of her (and her husband's) trials and tribulations with IVF. Poked and prodded by endless doctors, pumped full of an exotic cocktail of drugs and forced to try to have sex at the most inopportune moments, Imogen pulls no punches in her account of this process. In her words, 'The fertility game is like a marathon, where you just have to keep on running. No matter how many times the finishing line is moved, no matter how increasingly heavy the going or unpleasant the terrain, you pick yourself up and, ever more determinedly, keep on going. Until one day, you pray, you might just make it...'

Happy birthday Sayang

Hari ini birthday my other half, Nur Sophian Rifin @ Endz .   Happy birthday sayang. Semoga dipanjangkan usia, dimurahkan rezeki dan berjaya selalu, in shaa Allah.  Ummi & Aisyah sayang abi sangat-sangat.....

Happy birthday Fida & Aishah....

I really hope that Fida & Aishah will read this entry - especially dedicated to them. I do not prefer sending wishes through facebook or friendster (although I always use the medium) because sometimes it hangs in the middle of posting something etc .The internet connection in Malaysia is not so good, and sometimes facebook and friendster cramps with lots of users (I assumed la since payah nak bukak).... To Fida & Aishah - Happy Birthday Sweet - 28. May Allah Bless you always, may all your wishes will come true. Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to Fida & Aishah, Happy birthday to you....

Isteri Separuh Masa

Novel kedua Sury Ryana yang telah aku miliki & telah habis dibaca dalam masa hanya sehari (less than 12 hours). Nampak tak apa masalah aku skang? Aku memang gila membaca novel & amat cepat membaca novel Melayu. Cuma, untuk menjadi penulis novel tu tak le kot, takde bakat la ;-) Novel Isteri Separuh Masa baru dibeli di Popular Paradigm Mall pada 26 Mei 2012, aku start baca pukul 11.30 pagi 27 Mei 2012 (on the way fetch ayah kat airport & pi kenduri kat BBST), then continue baca masa on the way ke Hospital Selayang, masih khusyuk membaca kat Hospital Selayang & finished off bila sampai umah kat Nilai, before tido jam 10.30 malam.  Apa yang mempercepatkan pembacaan? Jalan cerita yang menarik, persembahannya yang santai tapi still ada unsur yang agak mencemaskan towards the end, gaya penulisan yang bersahaja & dekat di hati ;-) Best, sama jer rasa masa baca M.A.I.D. Kesimpulannya: sebuah novel yang harus dimiliki & dibaca pada masa lapang ;-D To...
