Salam Ramadhan

Assalammualaikum everyone

it's the third day of Ramadan, how time flies

for last year at this time, i'm at home with Sofia. yeah i am the stay at home mom.

normally i would think of what to cook for the breakfasting.

 but this year, i would most probably just buy it at the PARAM (pasar ramadan) nearby

i'm back to office. New office. with the EU delegation, but just for a few months

i take this as my rezeki and also to help on financial wise for our family

i am so blessed for this, which i thought that Allah has answered my doas.

Alhamdulillah.

on this holy month, i'm trying to be a better person. Well everyone is trying to

try to wake up for sahur every morning and proceed for Subuh after that. and try to omplete all the solat  waktu

Try to sedekah more, try to read Quran and shut my mouth from saying anything bad about anyone

Try to look, hear and say all the good things je lah

taknak ada negative vibes. so we try our best ok

 

its the 2016 already

time flies

its the 2016 ppl!!

happy new year and may whatever resolution or dreams or wishes that u have plan or list, do come true. if it's not 100% then half of it would be suffice. lols

i know i have been lazy updating my blog, as my job being a mom and wife taking most of my time.

but trust me, i do still read other bloggers stories/post. i am becoming the silent reader now.

or when i have my ME time, then i would quickly update my page (like at this time)

i am looking forward for 2016 to become more ohsem for me and my family.

2015, i've been on roller coaster moment, but i passed it anyway

Though the economy was bad, i hope 2016 will give us some good news that will benefits everyone

i have not been anywhere much on 2015, not a good time to spend more i guess. But if ada duit or rezeki lebih, boleh je nak pi mana hang suka. Live life to the fullest kan

So, enjoy every little things in life!!

Revealing the Dangdut in me

hahahhahaha this must be the bengong kind  of topic in my blog

i just couldn't find a suitable but rather find it catchy and funny

You see, i have this Javanese blood in me. My late dad is a sporean (mostly they are boyanese/javanese that directly from Indonesia) and from Surabaya. He have this Sundanese and Javanese in him. So he know how to talk in Sunda and Java unlike me. I didn't managed to study and learn all that from him, but i heard him talking with my aunt occasionally

When i was little, i stayed at Spore till aged 5.  So i am close with my favourite aunt whom i still kept in touch till now. Even i had moved to KL, i still visited her and the family. I grew up with all the dangdut songs. I listen to Hetty Koes Endang, Endang S Taurina, Jamal Mirdad and so on. Time tu Amelina or Sheeda ke takda lagi. tahun 80's kot
I danced with that songs, with my cousins, aunts and uncles including my parents. Or we all memang kaki joget la :p We went to karaoke and sing dangdut songs

As time passes by and i grew up, this dangdut genre doesn't suit to my ears nemore. Or maybe i was ashamed that ppl would discover that i am enjoying it.  But whenever i hear it on the radio ke tv, i like it.  Somehow i still can remember some of the lyrics

Now, if you watch the latest Gegar Vaganza, there's so much of dangdut songs/genre
Bukak youtube la,  listen to it and i still like it. it also reminds me of my late dad coz he taught me how to listen and enjoy the songs, from my other side of roots.
reminiscing the old good times with my late uncle  too. i cant denied that it's in me. This dangdut genre is in me.

It's just another genre music, but  it's represent my other roots 

updates Sept 2015

haaa kemana i menghilang lama tak update
mmmm, takde mood. takde masa. baca blog je lately

what's update on me?
beside still a sahm, i gotta a partime job doing an event for this month
it's the FHM (Food & Hotel Malaysia exhibition) mostly on culinary, food, hotels etc on
29sept-2oct 2015. i'll be handling the one day conference on 30th Sept 2015 at Plenary Hall

Lagi?
i invested in the so-called in thing now, the coloring ala2 secret garden tu
Hubs kind enough belikan faber color pencil and i bought the book
meh tengok tahap kerajinan nak buat tu hahahhaha

Haze?
erghh, it's like a never ending issue every year. sick of it
i wonder why and how the Indon gov gonna overcome the same problem that caused the Asean part suffering from this bad air pollution. Can we just fine Indonesia for this? like 2.6b ke lol
Stay indoor ppl, wear your mask. Drink lotsa water, double up your supplement intake and immune
Eat clean. look after for your kids. 

Ramadhan 1436

cepatnye masa berlalu and today is the last day of Ramadhan 1436
InshaAllah kita diberikan kesempatan lagi untuk bertemu Ramadhan seterusnya

By this time, KL must have an empty roads, YAY!
for those yang raya KL like me, its something that we look forward to
bukan selalu dapat jalan raya lengang camni, rasa cam aman je less stress
Drive safely everyone. Biar lambat asal selamat, 
Kat kampung tu, mereka sedia menanti tho korang sampai lambat
and if you're sleepy while driving please take a short nap before continues

Ramadhan kalini hendaknya means something to us or
has changed us to someone better , inshaAllah

Tahun ni is very smooth and moderate celebration for me
Puasa pun ok je except for few days i missed my sahur and syukur diberikan good health for amal ibadah and doing other stuffs
good thing is i don't need to think of Annual leaves, planning your time etc
i am all good with my loved ones
with the GST and increasing price of almost everything, the preps are more for my girls. in fact today nak cari kasut raya Sofia, haha so last minit decision
as for me, enough with one baju kurung raya, one new baju raya and as long as my house are bit decorated by yours truly (hahaha) that's fine with us

Best of all, we have the chance to celebrate it with our loved ones in one roof and with so much love

Just imagine those yang kat Kelantan yang masih takde rumah, yang still live in a tent and even those yang takde lavish food for buka puasa or raya, we should count our blessings. 
Alhamdulillah

Terima Kasih Ya Allah kerana menjadikan aku lebih baik dari yang sebelumnya
Terima Kasih di atas all your blessings

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Maaf zahir & batin jika saya ada lakukan kesalahan
kita kosong-kosong ye.

Bulan puasa sudah, 1436H

Astaghfirullahalazim

dah lama abaikan blog ni and now dah masuk july pun and we even in holy month of Ramadhan
its the 15th day of fasting days *shocking face*


Anyhoo how's your puasa been so far?
i've already had my ponteng days coz :

1- i forgot to bangun sahur thus i cannot tahan lama till berbuka unlike when i am not breastfeed
2- demam ( i need lotsa water to refill so i can produce milk for sofia plus to avoid from dehydration)

My berbuka meals for the first week i've been diligently cooked for weekdays and i get myself off on weekends (sendiri set rules haha)
with that i can sharpen my cooking skills (duhh) and make it variety
i am not a good cook but i can cook (if you know what i meant). We're also trying to avoid spending onto param. So far we went to 3-4 times je and had our limit spending on that (should control our nafsu rather than nak makan seemuaaaa)

Puasa while breastfeeding is not that hard. All you need to do is :

1- ensure you had a proper sahur. MUST. if you missed, doa that you will tahan till azan maghrib
2- eat the right food that gives you long lasting energy, inshaAllah. like ; Kurma with milk, nasi, oat or cereal
3- drink plenty of fluids. i know you can't stuffed everything during sahur but plan your intake accordingly. At least 8 glasses of water/fluids ( can be from soup, fruit etc)
4- of coz pray and doa that diberikan kesihatan yg baik and tenaga utk mengerjakan ibadah

Other than that my preps are so simple this year

baju kurung raya - checked and done
langsir raya - ready to be picked
duit raya - on its way :)
baju raya kiddos - checked and done. in fact i had slowly done this months before as i like to shop slowly  rather than one lump sum (been practicing this all the time so i can manage my spending)
kuih raya - with me hahah. some i had already makan (that's the bad thing of getting your kuih raya early, just hope it wont finish by the time raya comes!!)


Selamat berpuasa people!! 

Chance to meet Neelofa on my birthday

ahem, in case you forgot i've turned 33 this year. Just. Was :p

*cerita bulan may ni baru nak keluar, dok peram dalam draft je, sorry *

Nothing fancy just a normal dinner with my family 

and my fb wall full with wishes and kind words. Thanks all for that

This can be considered as one of my birthday gift too which i"ve got selected to be with Neelofa and Lancome at their event in sogo. Twas for the launching of their new perfume and lopa is the new embassador. So we got to see it and meet lopa at the same time

I was ecstatic. Thrilled. Excited of coz 👻

Then i dressed up as what i think should be for that day, but maybe i was 'over dressed' coz tengok orang lain mcm simple sempoi je 😜

When i saw lopa in real, she is just a petite lady. Small and friendly. 

Event was about 1 and half hour. We 

also got the chance to selfie with lopa. Tak caya? Here it is

Each of us incl medias received goodies bag 

I was obviously nervous and yet still tak caya yang i met lopa in person. Haha jakun naw nampak retis kan (who cares duhh 😏)

And by the way nak belanja satu selfie birthday girl with one of my flower, a gift by my twin sister from other parents, that shared the same birth date with me. Thanks kakza 😍 Gemini girls rocks!

The new SAHM in town

the new stay at home mom joining the club ........................................


It's ME :D


Well, its been 8 days since i'm holding this new title. It's not an easy task guys, but i should be proud of my self for managed to handle this *pat my back*
Or maybe it's too early to tell? hahahah whatever la

Maybe to some, (or even myself) was wondering whether is this the right choice i made?
Obviously, for me when it comes to choosing between your career and family, i always choose the family first. Tho the career can give you other satisfaction and money wise, but nothing beats be with your own kids and see them grow right in front of you.
I have to say this is something that beyond my plans, to decide something within...immediately?
Honestly it's been there ever since Sofia on board, plus she's on breastfeed.  I felt that the bonding and love was  extra and more special 


Be positive and go with the flow
Insha Allah all be ok and everyone is happy, especially me





Happy working people!

Yang best di 2014

Yang pasti 2014 has passed, too many sad news for Malaysia
as for me, i tried to cherished every bit of it. Some of my personal achievements 

• best thing ever, i  conceived Sofia on Nov 2013 and birthed her on 18th July 2014 despite the ups and downs on emotional before that

• Travelling- we managed to Kundasang and KK, Sabah. Genting Highlands, Thistle PD. We don't travel much coz we are waiting for Sofia to arrive.

• HM graduated his JK class and now entering to K1 (5yo), still at Krista Tmn Nirwana

• career wise, i have left MAH & MAHTEC  and now being the Executive Assistant, to the President/Board. Still in hospitality industry. Syukur gaji pun naik, rezeki baby baru

• Berjaya going through one phase where i felt i was been left out. Alhamdulillah Allah bagi kekuatan

• Celebrated Mak's birthday at the Corus Hotel with siblings

• Tho i'm mixing formula milk and my  breast milk for Sofia, but its 70% more on my breast milk. This time i have more knowledge in hand and i tried to bf Sofia as long and as much as i could. This also meant that i bought my first medela swing and the sterile set. I hope i can bf her up to 1 year (at least) and more to come later

• I tried to have a gentle birth while delivering Sofia but i can't, instead went for C-sect with Dr. Roslan. Definitely natural and normal birth is way better. Pray that i can VBAC for my third (will there be? insyaAllah)

• bought the most expensive handbag for myself (reward la for diri sendiri) and its my first Prada

• went through some uneasy things in life related to friends and families, yang pasti every thing happened for a reason. I am being more careful and choosy with my words and with whom should i connected with. It left a small wound in me and i choose to be distanced with them. past is past la

• 2014, again saya tak dapat beraya. In fact, i beraya di hospital Selayang with Sofia admitted due to jaundice. And i berpantang sendiri, quite a challenged tho but with the help of husband especially and mak (came to visit on the weekends), friends we went through it

• bought my own fridge after the old one went KO few weeks before raya came (phiew)

2015, please give me more positive vibes and dipermudahkan segala urusan!!

Birth Story of Sofia #2

WHAT?

She's 3.2 kg? oh my, besar jugak (while heard she's crying. i shed tears..for sure!)

fresh from my womb :)

on her 2nd day

That's my response to Dr Roslan when he mentioned sofia  birth weight.

Anyhoo, Alhamdulillah that she is perfect and in a good condition. (i am still trauma over HM's birthed experienced 4 yrs back)

i requested to see my newborn baby, ahh muka cute and chubby sket

And now masa untuk digodek2 lagi and dibersihkan

i still shivering. That blower didn't do good job on me. or maybe i was too skinny heh

whole operation took almost 30mins and later i was brought to the discovery room

at this room, i was covered with warm blanket (acting like the blower tadi) for at least one hour 

Diorang letak kat sini jugak untuk pantau whether i have any reverse effects after the ope

to some ppl, diorang will muntah, pening, loya, bleeding etc

Alhamdulillah i am OK..well response to every questioned. i tried to sleep but i am still hungy, dahla tengah sejuk lapar lagi huhuhu sgt tak membantu

nurses were so helpful. They helped me to change my napkins. meantime, my ubat bius slowly to disappeared and i should be able to move my leg bit. It shows a good sign of recovery

Instead of should be one hour kat dalam ni, turned into satu setgh jam pulak. I'm waiting for nurses from my maternity ward to picked me for the transfer. haish, semua bz plak, I can't wait to see my newborn baby and just rest in my room

And finally they picked me and back to my twin bedded room

First movement was terasa sangat awkward. Coz the heaviness of my belly still there, have to slowly moved and tampung my belly. Plus kene naik atas katil yang tak boleh di low kan (sgt tak praktikla to c-sect/normal mothers)

Husband is there waiting for me with my newborn baby. She was pretty. Praised to Allah for eased and made my delivery smooth. Syukur that both mom and baby are fine. That's all matters

So, bermulala episod tido di hospital for 3d2n. Lucky husband can teman in the hospital but poor him have to sleep on the couch. Well both mom and ayah have to sacrifices la kan

At night he'll help me to change diapers and handle sofia as i can't move much (i'm trying but with this urine bag attached on my V, it made my movement tak selesa)

Service and food from hospital are OK. Nurses and doctors are helpful and attentive. And since Hospital Selayang is bf friendly hospital, They taught me how to latch and nursed sofia. Terlupa la pulak the correct way and technique haha

And the sleepless nights begin..........................zzzzzzzzz

Birth story of Sofia #1

it is almost 10days to go before raya which falls on 28-29 July 2014
and i am still have no sign of beranak beside that too much discharge

10th July 2014
check up with my Dr. Roslan..still no sign. No VE done. All ok
air ketuban cukup, baby dah engaged (actually since 30th week), balik rumah and doc said tunggu if air ketuban pecah/bleeding/contractions
so continue la minum RTL (raspberry tea leave), makan VCO, did perineum massage


17th July 2014
since mlm semalam dah rasa sakit kat ari2. This morning the pain still there, tapi lagi menyucuk, discharge byk as usual. So told amir lets go hospital, sakit macam lain sket (but not contractions tho perut dah selalu sgt mengeras)

About 3pm dah sampai Selayang, went direct to PAC at 5th flr, while waited to be assessed.
Then came a junior doc do the cheking coz Dr Roslan as usual busy with others.
Contractions were mild je, tak sakit pun. So after jwb soklan itu ini, then a senior doc came with the junior tadi. She did a VE and said i have opened 5cm. WOW!
masa dgr tu rasa mcm unbelievable, lagi half way nak go 10cm..semoga dipermudahkan la
So doctor said have to admit coz normally 2nd baby cepat sket

 Bag memang dah packed dlm keta so tell amir its the day.

After he arranged registration bla bla, i opted for twin bedding at FPP since single full
Banyak jugak mom's yang nak deliver dekat nak raya ni

Then dah dingdong everything about almost 9pm masuk LR. Sempat lagi teman amir buka puasa kat canteen bawah and chit chatting (sambil pakai kain batik time ni)


17th July, 9pm
stay la dalam LR. so far i can say whatever i planned for in my birth plan was adhered.
i was on intermittent ctg (means not 24/7 strap on ctg)..so kekdg tu every one hour or 30mins i was strap on to check baby's heartbeat and my contractions
Sad to say my contractions rate tak cantik lagi..very mild je
While waiting, banyakla i heard other mom's from other LR room screaming, nangis, ranting etc. Their experiences on delivering their baby.

Ada satu mom tu, very kesian i heard. She was crying like helplessly for almost 3 jam. menangis and berdoa yang Allah permudahkan her birthing, sambil repeating cakap "sakitnya Ya Allah" then continued mengucap and berzikir. Sedih and kesian dengar..then sampai i tertido kejap..and i heard her no more. Bila tanye nurse, she said that mom kene c-sect coz dah dilated 9cm for 3hours with no progress so doc opt c-sect.
Ada pulak yang mom jenis senang je melahirkan..but the best moment was bila dah dengar the mom screaming and pushing like hell, then here it comes the newborn baby crying
Ahhh, so priceless moment

Ok back to my story, another VE done after 4-5 hours, i am into 6cm dilation. Contractions? Nadaaaa...mild je. sangat boring kat dalam LR..dah boleh tido sampai ke esok pagi pun. Dalam LR tak boleh makan but i sempat eat kurma and drink water to keep me energized


18th July, 8am
After more than 8hrs passed, i was 7cm dilated.  Very slow progress
So they asked me to wait for Dr Roslan for the next stage.

And about close to 10am, Dr Roslan came and briefed me the scenario.
Basically my water bag still intact and my contractions were poor.
Options are break the water bag and wait for the real surges and hope for opening (they give me 4hrs for full dilation) OR be induced OR opt for c-sect

After discussed with hubs and my self i opt for c-sect
Tho all this while i wanted a gentle birth, tapi i have my own reason opting c-sect
So  please respect my decision.
I have well informed and decide this, so itu rezeki saya dalam melahirkan anak
Janganla be so judgemental. Either ways pun memang ada sakit, there's no such thing as normal delivery lagi sakit dari c-sect

Since i kena puasa before the c-sect (at least 4hrs prior), so my operation is after Friday prayers.
But by 4pm je i was been prepared for the ope coz before that bilik full
Urine bag dimasukkan kat miss V, a bit pedih the process tuh.
and nurse briefed me about the process. Before masuk ope room pun again diorg explained to me again the process

Dalam operation room tu sangatla sejuk.  Shivering like mad!
Again, before they started toreh2 my perut, the anesthesia doctor explained to me that:
-i will be on half bius, from perut to kaki
-i akan sedar so know what they did and say. to ensure that the bius really work, kaki kita akan terasa sgt berat and cannot move at all. Even when they poke us pun takkan terasa

Bismillahhirrahmannirrahim!
bermula episod c-sect. After doc godek2 and goyang perutku here and there, finally i can hear the baby is crying. Alhamdulillah. I also heard Dr Roslan bagi salam to her
Then i asked him what is her weight, he said 3.2kg.

2nd Pregnancy Journey

It's almost a month now ever since i gave birthed to Sofia
so let me just update the overall story and will share the story of delivery on separate one

i have been studied and learn more on  my 2nd pregnancy
lagi best if cakap i have kept my self informed this time
i am more to gentle birth and have joined the Gentle Birth Group in FB too
i aimed to have a gentle birth this time. At least not to have epidural, no epi etc (will share my birth plan here)
Honestly, i was depend on my gynae to do the best for me and HM 4 yrs ago. It was my first child anyway, so many new things i have to adapt and learn that time. Tho HM was admitted to NICU and recovered, i am hoping my 2nd birth won't be the same. I am a bit trauma.

With my 2nd pregnancy, i am a bit relaxed and pretty excited. tak tau kenapa but this time i was prepared
towards the 38wks onwards, i started to feel nervous.

During my first trimester, i dont have much nausea unlike before, but just a mild one
no empty stomach otherwise i would have gastric.
entering 2nd trimester, i was a bit relaxed and enjoying every meals. i have this sudden cravings for watermelon. i would eat it almost everyday, as a must fruit for me to have till my end pregnancy
Beside that, i drank coconut quite frequent, maybe due to the hot weather, i kinda need a relief for my throat
Plus, i have this sweet tooth cravings too. Thank god that i dont have diabetic, high BP etc. Consider myself as a low risk mother

This time i decided to take early maternity leave. Due to dah tak laratla. Kalini entering 7mo je i dah start mencungap and penat sgt. I felt heavier than bawak HM dulu. Tak tau kenapa. Plus i'm not gaining much, 8kg in overall..padehal sofia lahir at 3.2kg
Plus, my office takde lift so dah malas nak climbed to 4th floor everyday (plus dah takde mood nak kejelah) so i decided cuti awal..in total i cuti for 3months

It was a good one. no stress about work etc..dok umah relax do housework (mild) and layan baby inside. Pressure at down there mmg dah heavy, barely sleep on sides so on back je. Baby movement pun makin terasa as i have kulit yang nipis kata doctor. So tahan and layan je la.

Nak tau cerita pasal beranak, ok next post......................................>

Reality Bites

Yikes, that sucks kan
i know but i am the kind of mother that have to work to help support the family but no complaint. i got to have my own pocket money yay!

so today i started my work after 3 months on maternity hols. (yes, i took an early 1mo off as i can't barely walk and climbed the office staircase. my office located at 4th floor and have NO lift)
it breaks my heart to leave my two girls at home especially Sofia who is still on breastfeeding.
Tho i know she is the kind of baby that is well behaved. No cranky except cried for milk or when she wants someone to dukung her, other than that she is easy to managed. Same like HM before. I am so thankful that i was given two daughters that beside cheer up my day and also a good girls.. Syukur!

I just wish and doa that my husband is stabilise enough in future so i don't have this mixed feelings leaving them during weekdays

OK, back to work
(imagine at 4pm now i'm still blogging instead doing my office work. Well, i need to familiarize myself after been away for 3mo kan...Alasan sangat)

Nesting at home and Ramadhan story

I have become a penguin mother now
resting and taking my days off from work is such a bliss
my first week off was a relieved, it's like a revenge throughout all my hardwork *cough* and for being in the office for doing nothing *well ppl there tend to ignore me, watodo*
So my routine basically, woke up in the morning, preparing HM for school, then her ayah will send her off then i'm back to sleep *or maybe breakfast dulu bagi kenyang before tido balik* hahahaaaaa

While i volunteer to fetch HM from school in the evening so at least i can have bit of exercise and out from home but it must be before the traffic started
House chores is something that i do everyday, from cleaning, vacuuming, laundry, get ready stuffs for baby etc

I also had the opportunity to join my SAHM gang/ladies for some activities. We've had a breakfast gathering together after sending off our kids to school, went for lunch that dragged to teatime at Wangsa walk (for the UK clans who stayed nearby wangsa maju/setiawangsa/ulu kelang)..catch up on pregnancy issues (since there are 3 of us in the line waiting turn, minus Amy who has popped), gossips at SCFM, parenting, family matters etc. We've shared and exchange info's together. That's the beauty of having a Mommy's club ..shheesh

Comes to the 2nd week where the fasting month is approaching, i had slow down a bit. Plus my tummy is getting heavier day by day that restricted me from walking too much. Continued fetching HM from school but then i realize with the sunny hot weather (blame the El Nino) i find it lazy to go out. I constantly need a/c 24/7 .. Plus sitting too long at one spot has given me this uncomfy feelings and i'm easily tired lately
So i am no more fetching HM ever since the Ramadhan started. I don't have  reason to go out. 
I am such a lazy bummer now -____-

For this time Ramadhan, i am trying and doing my best to puasa but being a preggy mom, i have this privileged given by Allah SWT that i can skip from puasa (it's called rukhsah). So as of today, i think we have been puasa for almost 8/9 days and i managed to achieved 5days. i find  that i easily get dehydrated and so i puasa on alternate days now. Man, twas not easy. I felt thirsty more than the hunger feeling
May Allah bless all of us in this holy month and may we pull through with our ibadah puasa in this hot weather ..Phiew

what else? i'm in anticipation to have the baby
Tho i have a difficulties to sleep now *this baby is so active when comes to midnight that i have changed my sleeping pattern too*
not complaining but i did sometimes (slap my face) when the pain is unbearable and when my BH has become more frequent now, and Oh the tightening too
these that i have to go through and trust me, your life will totally change when the baby has arrives 

its the island hopping time

ok next update on this trip (kene update cepat coz makcik Ezany dah sibuk nak tanye itinerary. lol)

the most awaited one, island hopping (mak buyung tak sedo diri)

after breakfast we walked to the Jesselton point. inside, there's alot of counters that offers you the package. we just chose randomly counter no 2, took package trip to manukan and sapi island RM70
tips : sampai each pulau, they will ask u to pay the park entrance fee (mcm kat redang tu) RM3 kot per adult. so bayar lagila ye 

as we have only 45mins to spend at at sapi so kitorg just chill2 while HM play sand castle a while. at 11.15am our boat arrived and took us to manukan. we have almost 2hrs 30mins there and we are enjoying ourself. Less crowds, that's the beauty holidaying on weekdays and with the clear blue water, lagi fun! snorkeling  gear can be rented at RM10 - 1 set google tuh

ayah & anak poser haha

at jesselton terminal

jeti at manukan. fishes kat kaki2 tu je

meh main pasir

group pics

HM sibuk main ni la

less crowds, enjoy the sea!

fav island

journey balik boat rides sgt bumpy. yelah time tu abt almost 3pm, air pasang. doa je everything will be fine with si kecik inside. instructed the boatmen bawak slow sket.
sampai je jeti, semua kelaparan hahaha. mkn kasi kenyang be4 balik hotel

abt 530pm we went out again for last round of shopping and pasar phil (driving this time) and went to Tg Aru for a diff environment of food court. Kat sini famous ngn ABC spesel (if nak tgk how big and splurge is the abc spesel sila follow ig amirpistola) lol
kat foodcourt sini ada mcm2 tp tgk food gakla ada yg best and tak. i am so dead tired that night, must be the post-island-lagged. plus i have to start packing jugak. uwaaaaaaa
confirmed balik bilik kemas sket je lepas tu mmg pengsan, semua!

Sabah Trip

the long awaited break , to sabah we go with another 2 couples
 here's a short info for my trip :

1. Flight malindo - RM330 (return) 3 paxs
2. kereta sewa exora - RM350 - 3 nights
3. minyak keta : RM100 - 4 days

Hotels :

Kundasang - Kinabalu Pine Resort RM230 nett/room - incl bfast + dinner

Hotel Grandis at KK RM220nett/superior room - incl bfast (5mins walking to Jesselton Point)

Day 1

our flight was at 0745hrs with malindo via KLIA

my review : ample leg space, snack were ok (biskut +mineral) je pun, but ada jugak di jual meal if you wish to purchase (RM12 - food + drink)

entertainment pun ado gak so ok tak boringla

Reached KKIA, we took our Exora car and fixed our waze to Kundasang which took approx 2hrs+ (depend how u drive gakla)

Journey memula ok then lelama dah macam nak pi Cameron, mcm ular. being 6mo preggy boleh sakit pinggang dok lelama dlm keta ngn anak lagi

so later we stop at Nabalu, such a nice and cold place for a break

Tips : if nak beli colored t-shirt/souvenir better buy here as way cheaper than pasar Phil

and after the pening journey konah sana sini to reach Kundasang, we finally saw the sign of Kinabalu Pine Resort. weehooo. we need to stretch outttt

Kinabalu Pine resort

market yang jual fresh veges and fruits 

the small town, takde ape pung

and we give ourself almost 1.5hrs to relax and refresh. here the sunset is earlier than at KL,

so if nak buat activity better be earlyla. We olls just pergi to the nearest town to look out and lepak for a tea and snacks while waiting the sun down

after some real refreshment back in the room, we're gonna have our dinner. Food was scrumptious eventho just a simple one but they way they cooked it is nice, or maybe all of us were hungry. lol

and the night ends with just spending time in the room and hope that we're up early for the sunrise which is definitely not to be missed!

mt kinabalu covered with clouds

depan our blocks, heading for dinner

We are 5 years today!

Happy 5th Anniversary to us!!

literally it's our 7th years together as we took almost 2 yrs to known each other and decided to end it with an official relationship (it's more to 1 and half yrs la)

To refresh the old memories, we knew each other through friends. Well, we have  same cycle of friends (small world) and it was during that time that i love to spent times with my bunch of single friends and just don't think about serious relationship (obviously i've been trying hard after been dumped from my monkey love.uh-oh -____- )

getting know other guys and was hoping to get over the stupid a** ex-bf is such an immature me (now baru realize that. lol) but i don't regret that as i've met quite few decent and interesting guys that moment

we learnt from mistake kan. lol

when i taught that i almost give up and just strolling my life and enjoy with my friends then i met my husband. He is such a quite-type-of-person (he still, unlike me) but had a good observation

He got my no and YM ID chat and we had a chat. Carrying on life as friends (duhh) and did so much activities together which literally made us getting close till the day he popped that "special" question of me becoming his special GF (awws)

Then another new phase to continue and its getting serious where we talked about marriage
stuff etc. So i guess both of us are ready for it

a day before we got engaged

celebrating his birthday on 2008

i haven't figure out that i am conceived at this trip to Cameron. one of our usual honeymoon
 activities  on Nov 2009

celebrating his birthday 

our first honeymoon trip on July 2009

11th May 2008, we engaged for less than a year and on 28th March 2009, we were officially husband and wife. Solemnization were at Bukit Indah Mosque, witnessed by both family members and closed friends. A week later, 3-4 April 2009, we had our reception both at me and his place. 

And today we are at our 5th year, passing one stage in married life. i know there's more to come but i hope we'll be able to go through the ups and downs together and cherish every moment. 

and a baby is coming in a few months. be prepared

Carpal Tunnel Syndrom

dugaan lagi during pregnant!
after i was tested with my skin itchiness at both of my legs (at betis precisely) now it has calmed down
my ubat are only moogoo cream during night time and applied vco at daytime
beside than taking the normal obimin pluz + vit c, tu jelah my rutin
takut nak guna or makan any benda yang pelik2 especially when ur preggy, so back to naturalist gituh

and then later on, i have this feeling of numbness on my left hand
it starts with just mild, then one day tu while eating, the berdenyut feeling getting tense
tried to urut2 and pukul2 sket  tak jalan
till on monday, i have to go to clinic, fetched by hubby as i don't feel anything. numb
i get worried due to maybe nerves prob etc
while doc didn't say anything and just prescribed me with pain killers? i dont eat it anyway as coz i tried not to take pain killers while i'm in pain, including if i'm in menstrual pain

after had a WhatsApp chat with my group of mummies, they said it could be the
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. click here according to Wiki
its also known as common for pregnant mom. To some it will gone once you delivered your baby and some it lasts. In which by that time, it's time for you to get a serious check with your doc. This can be solved

 and 4mo to go now. Phew i can do this!

finally, the quickening is here

another slow updates about 2nd baby (shall we give a name this like?like HM dulu i called her petit)

i guess a gap of 3yrs from HM really made me memory loss
i kinda take it chill and relax this time (maybe dulu excited plus newbie mom)
and i think this quickening (aka baby movement) i felt while at 16-17 wks but its just a mild
after a good massage last nite ( i had a terrible back ache due to sleep position)
the ibuk yang urut tu knows how to do it. it left me with a good lenguh-kinda feeling but
badan rasa ringan. i can now put her in my confinement list-to-do for my urut lady
that solved one

18 weeks now and i really need to have more tops for preggy lady.
i kinda like long dress to as its easy while no need to think every morning what's to mix and match for my office outfit
shall look for it slowly. anyone knows any link/Fb page/IG that are nice & affordable do holla me

hey baby inside, pls move gentle-ly ok!

15mo and counting

alhamdulillah i am reaching my 2nd trimester
time flies fast but i am so glad that i have no more sickness and reflux/gastric
i can eat what i want know, eventho its a lil bit late (but still have to fill up my tummy)
i can't miss the 3x daily meals, tho it can be a world problem on what to think what to eat

Syukur, i have my energy back to do house chores, and my kitchen is back to its operation
(tho i cook like twice a week or where mood rajin is there/ lol)

aside that, i am having this dryness on my skin and allergic or gatal2 kat kaki and betis
i'll be scratching start balik rumah after work or after my shower time
sangat nikmat dpt garu all that part yg gatal but God knows the after results
sampai merah and can be luka. so i have to stop/discipline myself and so i put my VCO from tanamera almost at any part of the body including my face

my daily make up routine to work now is no foundation/powder instead
VCO to be applied. it sounds funny coz its for daytime but trust me, this ain't gonna get ur face oily (tho i have oily face before). well, ppl says blame the hormones and yes i am
even my O&G said its hormones and let the phase gone itself -___-

Other than that, food wise i'm still cravings for western food, but a portion of rice once a day will be enough for me

i am back on social mode but not too much as i'll get tired

i need to control my anger towards one of my staff who has potentially can gimme high BP coz of his drama everyday *inhale.....exhale*

did my first check up with my confirmed O&G FPP selayang, Dr Roslan and syukur, baby has grown beautifully and well formed, insya-Allah all will be ok

praying for a smooth 9mo journey and an episode of gentle birth in labor room.
