Big Me

Just like other first-time pregnant mom, aku agak obsess ambik gambar perut sendiri
Masa baru-baru preggy, asyik dok capture gambar dari tepi
mana bump nya ni?
excited gila la orang kata
Sebab masa mula-mula just nampak macam ko terlebih makan je kan

8 Weeks


10 Weeks

















































Recently ada terjumpa kawan lama... first dia sebut
"eh apsal ko bulat ni?"
Maka dengan penuh yakinnya aku menjawab ...
"ohh aku pregnant lah"
Padahal memang aku jenis bulat pun kalau tak pregnant...
ngeee

12 Weeks

14 Weeks















































But now I get much more excited because the bump has start showing
Nak pakai baju ala-ala maternity pun confident je
Takdela rasa mengada sangat
Especially jeans dah susah nak button sebab aku cepat senak
So far takda rasa heavy kat perut
But I get back ache kalau duduk lama-lama

16 Weeks


























Sekarang dah 4 bulan mula kurang rasa loya
Mula rasa macam normal sikit
Senak pun dah kurang, Alhamdulillah
Ingat nak start looking for baby stuff
Tapi bila aku tengok checklist dekat blog mommy2 ni aku pun pening
apa ke banyak gila barang baby ni wey?
Dahla aku tak paham ape kegunaan dia
and so lazy to google or browse those onebabyworld site yadayada
seru belum sampai orang kata

Sicnessurfacing

























Esok check up and InsyaAllah boleh tau gender my child
Oh I can't wait!
Hopefully dia bukak luas-luas...
ngeee

Little Favours

This time nak cerita pasal food yang aku makan sepanjang beberapa bulan ni
aku ni masak tak kerap
maybe dalam 2-3 kali seminggu ikut kepenatan badan
especially masa first trimester aku tak boleh bau bawang mesti loya gila
Nasib baik Surfacing amat memahami bukan jenis nak makan nasik lauk hari-hari

aku ni sebenarnya kategori tak berapa mahir masak lah
Sebab sepanjang aku bujang memang ummi aku je akan masakkan dari breakfast ke dinner
sekali sekala jela aku akan masak tu pun setakat kuey tiow goreng atau telur dadar
Kalau raya pulak aku suka buat mac & cheese atau baking-baking punya part

So bila kawin ni aku start masak pun sempoi2 je
Selama 4 bulan kahwin ni aku tak pernah masak kari ke gulai ke
Semua yang senang goreng-goreng sambal style
kira yang bahan tak remeh lah

Maybe it's time for me to explore my skills try masak asam pedas ke apa kan
*menggelupur call mak tanya resepi step by step





















Mac and cheese ni dah banyak kali masak sebab senang dan sedap
Pastu boleh makan untuk breakfast sekali
Aku kalau buat memang cheese kena banyak lah




















Ni Buffalo Chicken wing surfacing buat
Ntah apa dia campur2 sekali sedap gila daa kalah chillis punya



















Lamb chop sedap kat San Francisco Pizza Restaurant kat Festival City Danau kota
Boleh pilih nak blackpepper atau Mint...
Of course la pilih mint


























Ni aku masak untuk dinner pasal kurang iron punya pasal
Bayam sama lala masak halia cili and telur dadar garing
Bayam and lala ni first time seumur hidup aku masak..haha
Nasib baik sedap





















Rib dekat That Little Gerai AU5
Tempat yang aku pernah hantar kookies munchster dulu
tapi aku tak buat-buat sejak preggy
Sedap dan berbaloi



Ni makan masa kat Gurney, Penang
Rojak tu memang terbaikla cina punya tapi ada halal
Laksa tu ok tapi pedas gila
Kuey tiow - overrated...aku buat lagi sodap




















Ni Laksa goreng aku buat sebab mengidam
Mak mertua aku yang first ajar makan laksa goreng ni
Mula-mula macam pelik je tapi bila makan feeling gila
Masak macam kuey tiow tapi tukar laksa basah je





















Pepperoni Pizza kat Pizza Milano memang marvelous
Thin crust and very cheesy..Remind me of Izzi Pizza yang dah tutup dulu
Harga sangat reasonable around RM 10-20
Pizza Milano ni ada kat One Utama and KLCC

























Ni last week Surfacing and aku craving nak lamb chop jadi kami pun grill dalam oven
Dia dok letak kopi la apa bagai aku just buat simple marinate je
Sides pulak mac & cheese, mushroom soup, garlic bread and grill veggies
Lepas makan masing-masing tersandar macam wombats
Serius aku senak gila rasa macam insaf nak makan banyak2 macam ni...

Tapi semalam aku dah makan kat William Danau Kota dengan kadar banyak macam ni
Kira takla insaf sangat makan banyak...
ngeee

Tadi aku dah makan nasi lemak, rojak buah and keropok ikan...
So malam ni nak makan apa?

Fly Away From Here


My favourite boys




















My surfacing received a very good news from his workplace.
Syukur Alhamdulillah, everything fall into places.
According to our plan.
Now I can start doing some checklist for the baby stuff
We haven't buy anything yet, not even a baby romper

Later that evening we received a not so good news from our landlord
They want us to move out in 2 months...
sigh.

At first I was freaking mad.
The good news seems to fade away with the thought of moving out...
in 2 months?
I'm gonna be 6 months pregnant by then
Ramadhan and Raya coming up
There are so many things to pack up, uninstall, dismantle
Changing address again
More money to spend...
Deposit to rent new the house..moving services..blablabla
It's gonna be so tiring...thinking of it already make me exhausted
We just move in here for 5 months darn it!

After some thinking, I'd say...
Allah knows best.
Allah always knows what the best for us.
Thinking about it make me feel so humble
There I was already planning how to spend the cash and everything
But Allah reminded us to be modest, to be wise and careful

I, now believe wherever we go after this
The new house will be more comfortable, safe and suitable for us to build a family.
We are welcoming our child soon and it could be for the best of his/ her interest.

Now I'm looking for a landed house.
I pray everything will be alright.
May Allah SWT increase our faith and make our path easy for us.
Ameen.

You Make Me Feel



12 weeks
This picture was taken during my last checkup 2 weeks ago
My child exactly 3 months old in the womb
dulu masa awal checkup aku selalu terfikir aku ni ada perasaan keibuan ke
sebab aku baca blog orang lain first dengar heartbeat baby dah menangis bagai
tapi aku macam okay jela
Really really happy but takdela sampai nangis



But checkup kali ni lain sikit
Still not crying but ada sedikit hiba
Macam wow couldn't believe my eye
I am carrying a life
and now dah nampak form, shape, heartbeat, telinga, kaki, tangan
and aktif gila berpusing-pusing masa scan
Happy yang bersyukur
Alhamdulillah to date anak aku nampak sihat
Good progress
Semoga dia membesar dengan normal
Semoga Allah SWT memberikan yang terbaik untuk anak aku



Me at 13 weeks
Berakhirnya trimester 1
Mostly kata after trimester 1 dah takda loya and muntah
aku masih muntah lagi waktu malam kecuali masa pegi Feringghi ni
but now dah 2 days tak muntah but still loya and senak
Hopefully 2nd trimester will be better
Thank God it's friday esok boleh tengok the hunger games.
Next month The Avengers!
Gasp!

Anywho bila Blackberry nak ada Instagram ni.
Nak beli iPhonenya apakan daya lambat la lagi sebab bukan priority.
Sedih hati makcik android dah ada..huhuhu.

And what in the world is PREVE?
TV3 pronouce as "Preef"
BFM pronouce as "Per-vay"
aku pulak ingat kan "Pray-vay"
Funny.

Suddenly I feel like watching Top Gun..
Is that craving?

The Word



Anas, my husband's "bromance" posted this on my birthday at FB
Makes me smile all day
He is such a sweet guy.
Last weekend we had him as our house guest
It was really fun having him around
I can see that my surfacing is very happy having his bestfriend
Anas live in Sabah which makes it difficult for them to hang out

I just want to say thank you to you brother
Anas is the one who did this beautiful illustration for our wedding
ala Struzan...
probono.
We really really love it.



He is super talented.
I wish I could have half of his skills
ngeee
Look at these beautiful artwork


The incredible lou


Natalie Portman


Hellboy

Carlos Santana


The man himself

More artwork from his blog

Anywho,
His birthday was on March 18th...
I think it's not too late for me to wish him happy belated birthday in a special entry
Brother, I wish you all the love and happiness in this world
and we will try to find a perfect four-letter name for your second boy
I still think Adha and Reza are nice
but Tony or Ozzy is pretty ridiculous :)

TWENTY09

20.03.2012.

I am 29 years old.
Alhamdulillah.
Can't believe I'm at the end of my twenties
I may not achieve much for the past 10 years
But I never feel better than this.
My friend, Fara described it perfectly on fb
a very sweet wish from her




Yes.
It is indeed the best gift ever.
I am a wife to a person I love so dearly for 10 years
and a mother-to-be, InsyaAllah.
Three months and more :)

I got my first wish from my husband at 12 midnight
and other wishes from family and friends
from sms, fb and twitter
I feel so blessed




My lady boss treat me a nice lunch at Penang Village
Me and Surfacing planned to go out for dinner but I vomitted on the evening
So we just ordered dominos pizza
He said it before, don't expect anything for birthday
but he surprised me with a nicely wrapped present






It's a rare edition of Lynyrd Skynyd Biography
Thank you so much my dear Surfacing.
Now I have to find rare item for your birthday this coming June ;)

I'm sharing birthday date with my younger brother
and my sister's birthday on the 29th
So my mom will throw a small makan-makan for us next week
I'm so missing my family
Can't wait to see them this week.

Alhamdulillah.
Praise to Allah SWT.
For giving me another day to breathe, to love and to live with my husband,
parents, family and friends.

Dark Waters


08.03.12 | 2.00am


It's been raining since 4pm, non stop, consistently heavy
11pm and still raining
I told myself to call my mom, just to be alert
but I fell asleep


08.03.12 | 6.00am


Received SMS from my sister around 3am
Flood.
For the third time in 29 years
The last flood was 3 years ago
and happened in the month of March too




08.03.12 | 11.00am


My brother uploaded some picture
It's up to the waist
and it happened too fast they unable to move stuff






08.03.12 | 3.00pm

Me and Surfacing decided to take a day off and helped out
It was a total mess
Everything fell apart
Thick mud
We have to throw almost all furniture
mattress
some electrical item
I can safely say it's about 20k loss
My brother's brand new kawasaki ninja alone need about 7k repairing cost




08.03.12 | 9.10pm

Whatever it is I'm still grateful
Everyone's safe
We still have our house
Still have our clothes and TV and fridge
Most important, it happened after the wedding
Both me and my sister wedding
Thank you Allah SWT.

A Life Less Ordinary


Rayyan-Hopefully my baby as fair and as cute as you!


9 weeks.
Alhamdulillah so far so good.
Last week check dah dapat dengar heartbeat.
Baru tau yang heartbeat baby ni laju rupanya ye.
Tersengih-sengih bila terpikir
menyesal tak ambik video heartbeat tu
Another 3 weeks to go untuk trimester 1.
Masih berhati-hati and keep praying everything safe and smooth.


Antara simptom selama 9 weeks:

1. Takda morning sickness tapi evening pukul 5pm-10pm

2. Waktu maghrib paling crucial - dah 4x muntah so far

3. Suka makan yogurt especially berries flavor

4. Dulu boleh minum susu sekarang kena minum dengan cereal sebab loya

5. Dulu terbayang fried food dah loya sekarang tak boleh makan spaghetti

6. Suka gila nasi lemak. Minggu ni dah 4x aku makan nasi lemak. Rasa bersalah sangat.

7. Driving nak balik tu amat meloyakan so kena kunyah snickers

8. Love bananas especially dole!

9. Perut berangin, senak and susah sendawa

10. Emotional sikit tengok cerita sedih sikit je dah berair air mata. So not me!

11.Snacking every 1 hour to avoid nausea. Current favourite- biskut munchys, biskut tiger,
oat krunch and snickers.

12. very dry and itchy skin and acne break out...sigh.

13. Very sleepy during the day and mild back ache

14. Cepat mengantuk - pukul 11.00 maximum pastu terus pengsan sampai pagi

15. Malas masak and jadi clumsy bila masak.
kalau dah malas memangla macam-macam kan.heh.


Other than that, I think everything ok
Rasanya tak teruk lagi so far since tak muntah sangat
I hope trimester 1 berakhir dengan baik
Can't wait for the next phase :)

Awakening


source


Semalam emosi je aku baca tweet manusia-manusia yang marah
konsert Erykah Badu ni kena banned
lagi emosi bila manusia-manusia ni melayu islam
pastu artis-artis melayu islam pulak
Macam perkara remeh je kan macam takda offended langsung
Siap cakap oh melayu ni cepat sangat insulted la kolot la apa la...
Wow, so shallow.

Lukis gambar Nabi Muhammad SAW pun menyebabkan
seluruh muslim di dunia membantah
apatah lagi memakai tattoo Allah SWT.
Ini religion la bukan culture, get it?
Takde sensitivity langsung ke?

Ada yang persoalkan kata tu just temporary tattoo la...
She's ill-informed la apa lah
yes, yes aku tak peduli masalah dia
masalahnya sekarang kita yang seolah-olah menyokong kesilapan dia.

Yang blame Rais Yatim jangan cakapla
Siap terkeluar pulak isu-isu politik
(blearghhh)
kenapa sehari sebelum konsert and just after keluar paper The Star baru nak banned?
kenapa tak check awal-awal dulu masa sebelum bagi permit
Hellooo
Aku pun honestly tak pernah tau tentang kewujudan gambar dia pakai tattoo camtu
maybe because I'm not a fan pun
so apatah lagi la menteri yang busy tu dan orang-orang gomen yang approve tu

Padan muka Pineapple Concert
tipu la kalau korang tatau pasal gambar tu langsung
Masa hantar proposal tu mesti tak tunjuk punya gambar tu
atau maybe dia photoshop kan tattoo tu
lepas dapat permit happy je kan
sekali Allah SWT nak tunjuk... hamik kau
terpampang besar2 dekat paper The Star
just a few days before the concert
Served you right.
Rugi memang rugi la
But patut korang dah predict benda ni boleh jadi
Kita ni hidup zaman communication atas ke bawah
Kan senang kalau bawak artis-artis yang less risky kan

The thing is,
once we know about the information
We can't unlearn it
or ignore it
So what Rais Yatim did memang wajar
Ini negara Islam yang berjuta rakyatnya beragama Islam
yang walaupun mungkin tak alim mana pun
tapi bila kita dah tau fakta bahawa nama Allah SWT terpampang
dekat badan half-naked Erykah Badu
Are we gonna close one eye and move on?
Sejahil itu ke kita?

I better stop before I get too emotional.
Just read ada satu portal gossip ni yang menyokong tindakan menteri
dan menempelak tindakan artis yang bantah
Good one.

Kita maybe masih belum sempurna
masih merangkak mencari cahaya
Cuba menjadi Muslim yang lebih baik dari hari sebelumnya
Tapi jangan sampai yang NYATA dan BENAR itu dipersoalkan.
Nauzubillah.

Two Of Us



We went to our honeymoon at Singapore last week for 3 days.
day 1 for the Judas Priest Epitaph Farewell World Tour with Lamb of God
Day 2 for Universal Studio Singapore
and day 3 simply jalan-jalan

I had to let go the concert ticket once we find out about the pregnancy
so sad...
Thank God dapat jual to Jaie Sil Khannaz
and dapat pulak beli tiket USS from a friend of a friend for only rm300 per pair.
rezeki.

It's my first time going outside Malaysia.
Even though just Singapore, I'm freaking excited about it.




USS totally awesome!
Can't play all the killer rides...
Oh how I wish...
especially when your partner go mad about the transformers 4d ride
and he went twice!

Definitely will go again sometime
will share more pics later.
now I have to face the fact that it's Monday and it's working day.
sigh.

The Book of Love


*beautiful illustration ala Struzan by our blood brother- anas hussain
* our version of bram stoker dracula in the photo frame by my dear surfacing


7 weeks after our wedding day and masih tak habis letak gambar...
sebabnya gamba Official photog tak dapat lagi maka down nak update...
ngeee

tapi takpa lah this entry just nak share a few pics from the Bukit Damansara Reception
masa 1 January 2012.
Thanks my brother, ajin and shananeh tolong capture kan gambar
so this event kurang penat sikit from reception 25.12 tuh
sebab pelamin pakej dah sama Sri Angsana Catering
But we still have to do a few stuff sebab meja kerusi from our side


Dewan Bukit Damansara - white wedding setup again

something happened the night before our reception
but I'm not gonna talk about it in this entry
Overall I"m so happy with my wedding reception
Even makeup pun behave better from before


entrance


cake cutting with "love song for a vampire by Annie Lennox"
as the main theme

Inspired by Bram Stoker Dracula :)

Vendor semua best tak mendatangkan masalah langsung
Sri Angsana Catering sangat menepati janji
malah ada value added item yang dia bagi
Yang paling happy we requested plain white cake and dorang dengar cakap!
very sweet plain white cake with white flower kecik kat tengah
They even decorate the cake cutting table yang memang takda dalam pakej pun
phewww


G.I. Photoshoot pun willing pegi outdoor kat Central Market
tempat yang memang kitorang dah aim lama
walaupun kena pusing2 cari entrance...hehehehe
Alhamdulillah sangat


With my handsome ayah. So dashing wearing silver!



adik aku dah tukar uniform time ni nak mengemas dah


Cuma satu jela tak ramai kawan-kawan ku dapat datang ke reception sini
But takpelah takde rezeki
Whatever it is, we had a blast and glad everything is over.
Penat woi planning wedding sendiri.
No more pening kepala nak memikir deco atau beli itu ini



the bride!

pasni cuma pening dengan hal lain pulak lah...
7 weeks and counting :)
