walking at 20 weeks~~~

yup2 i'm 20 weeks preggy now...20 weeks to go!!! :) how time flies huh...n how big my tummy is right now?haha just say that it's big enough that i actually walk slower now...really feel the difference tau...if i walk with the normal pace like before i'll actually panting within a few minutes!! huhu hv to really take my time walking :)

but it's me to blame right...looking at my eating habit nowadays...huhu i'm trying to control myself now...trust me it's not easy k...hihi n i also want to control my spicy food consumption...i'm so worried that lately i don't really taste the 'hot' taste of the spicy food...all food are not spicy enough which makes me want to hv more spicy food...huhu i guess there's s'thing wrong with my tongue 'hot n spicy' area...hihi whatever that means ;p hopefully baby won't feel the 'hot' taste from the food that i provide him/her...

baby is very behave him/herself inside there since i'm here in JB with daddy o for the whole week...not much movement...daddy o garang ek baby...hihi stay cute n healthy ok sayang! we'll see u next saturday insyaAllah :))

walking the journey of second trimester...

actually there's not much updates for my second trimester journey...but i'll try to list whatever that comes to my mind since the pregnancy forgetfulness syndrome is really taking place right now...hihi well, let's see...
1. very forgetful lately...well i think i already mentioned that right? opss...forgot laaa ;p
2. the 'night sickness' is gone...yeay me!!! :)
3. backache is the conquerer of all...huhu luckily i'm saved by the calcium pill everyday
4. eat a lot...well this shouldn't be in the list since this is forever a syndrome, pregnant or no pregnant...hahaha
5. feels the baby kicking already (at least i think so it's the kicking...hehe) - feels like there are thousands of butterflies in there :)

that's all that i can remember for now...basically i'm sooo enjoying my second trimester journey coz i have the energy to do everything since the 'night sickness' is gone :)

latest update mama n baby during last visit to PCMC:
1. baby's weight - 200 g
2. mama's weight gain - 3 kg in one month!!!!! (kene marah dgn doc tau ;p)
so the question is, where do that 2.8 kg went??? muahahaha...i want to blame the Sangobion which i believe had increased my appetite...huhu now i'm taking it only once in 3 days instead of everyday for last month...target for weight gain during next check-up - strictly 1 kg max only!!!
3. baby still shy2 to show that thing under...still maintain his/her leg position like the previous check up...but baby plays with his/her hands a lot...very active one according to doc...keep it up darling! :)

mama is getting sleepy now...but i think baby just woke up n having his/her 'morning' exercise in mama's tummy :) insyaAllah we'll see u again on 8 august k baby...luv u...mmuahhh~~~

nyum...nyum...

actually i'm desperate to write s'thing here since it's almost the end of june n i only hv 1 post so far for this month...soo lazy la me...well i'm so desperate that i don't know what to write actually n i decided to put up a recipe here...it's from my MIL...she's from noghori n i love this food sooo much (erkk cam x relevant je ;p) n i want to record this recipe somewhere so that i can cook it anytime i'm feel like eating it...if rajin la kan ;p anyways, here is the recipe for gulai tempoyak pucuk ubi...not really a gulai...maybe a very pekat gulai...hehe...

so the ingreients:
1. pucuk ubi
2. daun labu
3. daun kunyit
4. cili padi
5. ikan bilis
6. pati santan
7. tempoyak
8. sugar n salt secukup rasa
9. petai
10. serbuk kunyit/kunyit hidup

it's depend on u on how much to put for each ingredient...hehe kira everything is secukup rasa la...if u want more pedas then put more cili padi, if want more tempoyak then put a lt of them...but from my observation (ye saya hanyalah tukang observe pada waktu itu) the pucuk ubi is the most to be put (hence the title of the recipe la kan ;p)

so how u do it? it's very simple actually...i mean very very simple...just cut item 1,2,3 into very very small pieces...while u hv somebody to do that (hehe it's quite time consuming), u can tumbuk ikan bilis, kunyit hidup (no need if u use serbuk kunyit ;p) n cili padi n put in the kuali...then put all ur dauns n pucuks which had been cut into the kuali as well...followed by petai, pati santan n tempoyak...then turn on the gas n stir slowly until it's cooked...n don't forget ur sugar n salt...n that's it! ready to be served :)

for the moment i don't hv the pic...finished all already b4 thinking of taking a pic...see la if rajin next time i cook it, i'll try to remember to snap a pic n upload here k...the last time my MIL cooked it (well it's more like the first n last time for me as of now), that time i was still in miri...i came back for the weekend n she packed me one tupperware of that for me to be brought back to miri...n i ate them for 3 straight days without the feel of boringness of the dish...hihi niceeee...the memory brings back all the saliva in my mouth now...nyum...nyum! now wondering when again my MIL will cook it...hmm...

p/s: preggy update - now having a severe backache almost everytime, everywhere...but just enjoysss la kan :) oh n also sneezing n coughing are also accompanying me everytime, everywhere...anything for my baby :)

10 things...

well, it's my 1st entry for this month (hopefully it's not the 1st n the last...for the month i mean ;p)...it's been about 3 and half months since i got married to my hubby (duh! to whom else did i get married to ;p)...i had learned a lot about him since then which i didn't know b4 we got married...so i decided to make a list about them...but i'm soo lazy soi'll just put 10 things about him first...just bear in mind that this list is not exhaustive and i'll add as we go along (if rajin la..hihi) so here we go:

1. he always sleep talking (or rather sleep screaming) at night...always means like almost every night...hehe at first i was so shocked and scared when i heard he's talking to me while sleeping but now i'm so used to it that i actually disappointed if he don't sleep talk at one of the nights...hehe the funny thing is he always wants me to respond to him when he talks so sometimes i just responding by saying "yeah...yeah...u r right" eventhough he makes no sense at all...hihi this is the most interesting fact that i learned about hubby :)

2. favourite food: KFC, Kentucky Fried Chicken, ayam goreng kentucky (yup i purposely write 3 times to emphasize his most favourite food), nasi putih + sup ayam/sup tulang + telur dadar (must be in this complete set), ayam penyet, tomyam ayam putih, nasi lemak la cucur...so my cooking skills will be limited to these dishes only (except the KFC la ;p)...hehe nice kan...i'm so lucky :)

3. favourite drinks: orange juice, teh tarik, coke, teh o...all easily prepared (or bought) kan :)

4. he is a Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt collector...so if any of u guys r dropping by any hard rock cafe store around the world, pls buy me a hard rock cafe t-shirt k...his size is M (as of now ;p)...i'll pay u...hihi if i'm not mistaken his current collection - Kuala Lumpur, Houston, San Diego, Hollywood

5. he's so into guitar, in fact he's so famous at the office as the guitarist of his dept's band...hihi well, i knew this already b4 we got married but only after i married him that i truly knew his passion towards that nice body instruments with all those strings...he's good at it n i love watching him play his guitar...i'll melt everytime ;)

6. he takes really great care of all his things...he keep them very carefully...i think extra careful compared to me...hihi this is why i don't mind if he buys expensive things (it's his money anyway ;p) becoz i know that he'll take good care of those stuff

7. this one i like...he likes to help me tidying my room!!! yeay!!! n of course he's the one who will tidy his room...well for those who r confuse, we r not sleeping in separate room but now as we still practically living with both our parents, so practically we hv 2 rooms - 1 at my mom's n 1 at my parents-in-law's...so if i'm tired (or pretend to be ;p) he'll help tidying the rooms...nice kan :)

8. favourite football team: glory glory man united!!! the red devils, etc...i don't believe i know all these stuff these days...huhu i'm sooo not into these ok...so any of u found any nice Man U t-shirt, pls buy 1 for me k...i'll pay...as mentioned his size is M (as of now ;p)

9. favourite jeans: Levi's only...size 30...opss this is b4 we got married...now it's proudly upgraded to 31 :)

10. work pants n shirts: Dockers n Padini (size 30 n S respectively, as of now)

all in all i think hubby is a simple person n easy to take care of...hihi but i love his simplicity sooo much!!! n i love him dearly :))

p/s: we went to see our baby just now...he/she is getting bigger now...around 9 cm...we love u cute baby!!! mmuahhhh!!! c u again on 11 July...insyaAllah...it's 1 day after daddy's burfday so don't shy2 to show us that thing under ok as daddy's burfday present :) hihihi

food...come to me bebeh!!!

I’m not into food lately…errk let me re-phrase that…I’m easily get full lately n couldn’t finish my meal most of the time. But I can get hungry easily n the hungriness can kill me k..huhu when I get hungry I want to eat everything n end up buying a large meal..whatever that meal is. But halfway through I’ll feel so full n couldn’t take another bite. The food will still be so tempting but what can I do, cannot go anymore..hihi

But luckily for the whole of last week my bambam hubby was around n he had helped me to ‘clean’ up the food :) thanks a lot abam (abg bambam) for not letting me feel guilty for not finishing up all the food. Actually it’s kind of weird seeing him like that becoz all this while he didn’t usually finished up my food (coz usually it’s vice versa ;p) so I was a bit shock to see that he was willing to eat my balance food. Maybe it’s becoz he’s looking into all the money he had spent on the food n feel such a waste to leave them like that..hehe whatever it is the result is now his belly is expanding faster than mine…hehe jgn marah abam :) he has a belly of a 4-month preggy mom…it’s cute though (saje jaga hati ;p). Just keep on helping me eat up all the food k darling..until I get my ‘eat spirit’ again n when that time comes u hv to guard ur food carefully b4 it gets into my belly…hehe can’t wait for that time :)

Just to recall what nice meals that I had for the past 2 wks (konon2 mengidam but mostly didn’t finish them though..huhu): Beriani kambing @ JM Beriani House, TGI Friday’s cheeseburger n fried mac & cheese, Madam Kwan’s Nasi Bojari, sate kajang Hj Samuri, Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa (hubby ate 2 plates), tosai kat kedai mamak bangi, KFC (hubby yg mengidam), n a few more places that I couldn’t really recall (preggy woman forgetfulness syndrome ;p). Hubby went back to PG this morning. I hv to finish my food by myself from now on..…until Friday…yeay! he’s coming back again for the weekend :)

1st trip to PCMC

i'm so excited to put this entry right now, i actually writing this using my E71 which hv a very small keyboard..don't know how it'll turn out..we'll see...jari dah cramp ok :p
last tuesday Mama n Daddy O hv our 1st visit to PCMC to check on u, baby darling :) daddy drove all the way from JB that morning n drove back to JB right that evening just to see u..so schweet kan daddy :) baby also get to hv b'fast n lunch with daddy..yeay!!!

after we parked our car at the so 'KLCC parking lot', we went to the front of PCMC and excitedly sanitized our hands..hehe even the receptionist also said we're good coz we had sanitized b4 she asked us to :p then we took the elevator to level 6...the view from the the elevator was so nice..the interior looks a little bit like Maya Hotel..with a nice fountain :)

level 6 is the women n children specialist floor so it was full with pregnant ladies n babies :) we even met fizah who is 7 n half month pregnant...firstly the nurse took my BP (100/70), weight (i gained 2 kg..huhu), height (didn't gain any ;p) n supposedly my urine but i had just peed right b4 that so i had none left to donate to her...hehe next time i'll remember to ask for the bottle b4 throwing away that precious liquid ;p

then shortly after that, we had our very first meeting with Dr Seri...very nice n friendly :) she did most of the talking since we were quite blur on how the session should be...then after a short 'interview' on my medical background, she said "let's take a look at ur baby"...this is the best part of the visit :) there u r baby, lying (or bouncing) safely in my womb n u r getting bigger this week (2.24 cm)...we got to see ur head (the biggest part..hihi), ur body n also ur limbs...ohh n the yolk too which is currently being ur food supply...n the most amazing part was we also got to hear ur heartbeat!!! it was really fast around 160+...we were so amazed with the ultrasound machine...hehe

so all in all, u r the most cutest baby in the world n we love u so much darling!!! can't wait for our next visit to PCMC to see u again on 13 june...just stay cute n healthy in there ok!!! :)
n to daddy, thank u so much for being there with us...i'm so touched...luv u abg!! mmuahh!!! :)

walking the journey of first trimester

well, i can say actually it's a little bit late for me to describe the journey of my first trimester as i now already in my week 9 of pregnancy n i hv only around 4 weeks to go b4 entering the 2nd trimester...but hey, better late than never right?hihi


so, to begin with, the most obvious thing is that i eat a lot nowadays...i mean really really a lot ok...hehe well i don't know if u can consider that as one of the 1st trimester syndromes...i think it's just me...haha ;p it's just an excuse kut...so that one is out ya...hehe


so here's the list of my syndromes just so that i can cherish these experiences n compare with my other pregnancies to come later (hihihi ;p):

1. morning sickness during night time...so this shud be night sickness la...hehe i'll start feeling dizzy usually right after mahgrib prayer...but i know the trick already, i just hv to fill up my stomach asap b4 that dizziness comes...then it'll come mildly or won't come at all...hehe nice trick huh! it's so good i'm here at home now as dinner is ready once i got back from work...thanks to Mama :)
2. i'm currently waiting anxiously for that 'vomitting' time to come as people said u'll start vomitting once u enter 8 weeks of pregnancy or earlier...i hope it won't come for my case...so far so good :)
3. i'll be very hungry in the early morning when i'm getting ready for work...the hunger pang is so intolerable that i hv to eat s'thing immediately once it comes which is usually after my subuh prayer...what i do: hv a slice of butterscotch bread or 2 pcs of digestive biscuits...then the hunger will go as soon as it comes...baby is so unpatient for his/her first meal of the day...hihi
4. hunger will struck me any time of the day, anywhere n it can't wait even for a minute...so i must ready anything edible near me at all time...u shud see my workstation at the office...a lot of food ok...(that doesn't include the ones inside my file cabinet yet ;p)
5. feeling of ready to vomit but i won't vomit...it's only nausea especially after a heavy meal...i shud take frequent smaller meals instead of few big meals...i'm doing that but it's more to frequent big meals...haha combination of both :)
6. while eating, it's really enough when it's enough...somehow nowadays my body knows when to stop eating n i hv to stop immediately when the signal comes...or else i just can't take the food anymore...cannot go already eventhough i don't feel that full yet...i'll feel like throwing up instead...huhu

well, that's all the syndromes that i can think of right now...still waiting for my 'glorious' moment of vomitting which people usually will lose some weight during this time...hehe just to cover my guilt of eating too much now...huhu but it'll be nice if that 'glorious' moment doesn't come at all...i'll control my eating habit to compensate for the weight gain, if any (yeah, right ;p)

as for the baby, we'll see u again insyaAllah this Tuesday with Dr Sri @ PCMC...really can't wait! make sure u show urself ok :)
