masterchef

Couple of weeks ago I asked encek K to bring me to Madam Kwans Restaurant. Told him I badly wanted to eat the banana fritters with vanilla ice cream there (memang sedap I tell you!). Of course he agreed and said he will bring me there during the weekend (hati adalah amat gumbira time ni).

Few days after that we went for our weekly grocery shopping spree. These days a tub of 'neapolitan flavour ice cream' is 'a must' on our grocery list. I have to have my ice cream supply at home. Crucial okeh! Geddit? Crucial!! Kalau takde ice cream boleh bawak gaduh weh :P

So anyways, while we were strolling around looking for veggies and fruits encek K saw the bananas section. We never bought any bananas everrr in our life (sounds funny lah the sentence), so yang ada time tu pisang montel and pisang berangan je. Terus encek K asked me "Yang awak tau tak kalau nak buat cekodok pisang tu sedap pakai pisang ape?". My answer was "Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, tak tau la yang, jap me call mama eh". Iye, saya mengaku memang saya tak tau selama ni pisang ape yang sedap di buat cekodok, saya tau makan je. Encek K told me not to call my mum and decided to buy pisang berangan, it was really cheap, only RM1.70 for 1 comb (ke sebenarnye mahal tapi kitorang rasa murah sebab tak pernah beli pisang seumur hidup ni?). Tak kisahla janji RM1.70 kan, layankan aje beli pisang..

The next morning (which was Saturday), bangun-bangun je I heard bunyi keletang-keletung from the kitchen, memang dah agak encek K was cooking breakfast. He loves to cook especially during the weekend. Dalam hati cakap "Wah semangat sungguh laki aku nak masak cekodok pepagi nih". Moments later he called for me saying breakfast will be ready soon. I got up, washed my face, brushed my teeth and sambung bergolek-golek in front of the TV pulak. Kejap after that he came with our breakfast plates. And it was not cekodok pisang, it was banana fritters with vanilla ice creammmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Ya Allah! I was like "Eh apa ni sayang?". Then he said "Surpriseeeee for you, makan lah". And I cried there and then *yeah gangguan emosi amat jelas di situ, tetiba nangis tak tentu hala* Sambil nangis sambil cakap "Sayang pass me my blackberry, nak amek gambar, nak mobile upload" (sempat lagi nak mobile upload tu). After snapping the picture, terus ngapppp the fritters with the ice cream, was still crying abit sebab terharu that he cooked the dessert for me plus sedappppppp gilerrrr puhleaseeeee. Couldn't stop thanking him for the dessert. I bedal 2 pinggan terus and terus cancel plan nak gi Madam Kwans. The ones hubby made was waaaaay better! :))

Hehehhehe, after mobile upload tu ramai lerr pulak our friends BBM-ed us; requesting encek K to make the dessert for them :) bolehhh bolehhh tapi korang beli lah pisang and ice cream, pastu bawak to our house.

my masterchef :)))

madam kwans punye --> 1 scoop ice cream + 2 fritters = rm10 to rm15 I think

ours --> 1 tub of ice cream + sesikat pisang = rm5.90+rm1.70 =rm7.60 (boleh makan sampai lebam)

Another recent breakfast surprise for me as well, egg roll pancake with mix salad. Inside the pancake ada salad, onions, green pepper, mustard, mayo and chilli sauce. Ni pun sodapppp gak!

sodap dan menyihatkan

Last but not least, asek cerite pasal encek K je yang masak, I pun ada masak for him jugak (chewah!). Tapi yang I masak ni tak setanding encek K laaa. Masak biasa-biasa je. I made dadih for him (made 'em few times already). Yup he loves dadih, selalu kalau pegi pasar malam mesti beli tapi kengkadang tak sedap sangat kan. So I made some for him :) Nak tau rahsia nak bagi dadih ni sedap rasa macam ice cream? Sooo easy pheasyyy. Ikut instruction kat belakang packaging tu tapi part yang susu cair tu gantikan separuh ngan coffee mate creamer. Contoh: dalam instruction cakap campurkan 100ml susu cair, tapi instead campurkan 50ml susu cair, 50ml coffee mate. Confirm the dadih will taste like ice cream yummehhhhh!

dadih yang rasa macam ice cream

Tadaaa! Mak buyong @ me at 17 weeks (Was taken this morning!). Noticed my big tummy? :)) I weighed myself yesterday and the scale showed 52 kgs. That's ok I guess considering I have steadily been gaining 1kg each month. Encek K said and I quote "Awak tak gemuk, just bulat", what does that supposed to mean sayang???

hello ladies :)

My progress so far; have been feeling much, much, muchhhhh better as I am entering my 4th month *syukur ya ALLAH* (I guess it's true when they say that moms-to-be will feel better after the first trimester). The dizziness has gone down (not gone completely though), I finally have the mood to shop again (eventhough I'm pretty sure encek K doesn't really mind at all if this mood never came back, pffttttttt), I now have a little desire to dress up and put some makeup on (unlike before, pucat lesi pun x pedulik nak pakai bedak) and doesn't mind going out a bit to socialize (less sleep nowadays).

Dressing up especially for work has been challenging for me; most of my pants and skirts don't fit anymore (boleh sarung tapi tak boleh butang/zip), and most of my fitted shirts/t-shirt/tanks wouldn't fit anymore as well. Thank god for empire waist dress and babydoll dress and tops. So far I have not purchased any maternity clothes yet; the ones that I really like are super duper expensive (and the ones that are cheaper are so-so only for my liking) so I decided not to buy any at the moment and challenged myself daily to improvise my current wardrobe (trust me it's a challenge everyday).

High heels; I have said goodbye to them already. I prefer wedges and flats these days for more stability, I already bought 5 pairs of shoes this month (see, I told you my mood is back), will snap 'em soon I promise.

Foodwise; I now really really loveeee ice cream, banana fritters, nasi lemak (I ate 3 packs yesterday, help me!) and not forgetting french fries. If I have my way I would eat these food every single day trust me.

Hmmmm what else? That's about it I think. Ouhhhh, I must thanked my hubby encek K for being the best-test husband everrrrrrrr during my first trimester (and of course up until now). He takes special care of me, drives me to work ever single day, tolerates my unpredictable emotions, took care of me when I'm feeling dizzy, ensures that I take my vitamins daily, cooks all these wonderful out-of-the-world dishes for me and our lil one and helps me with millions more other things. I could not ask for a better husband :))) I LOVE U SAYANGGGG!

Speaking of Encek K, his birthday is coming soon. Have to think of something super special surprise for him soon. Any ideas?

family day

Waaahh 2 entries in 1 day! What a miracle eh? Hehehehehe... I feel really great today(that's why!) plus I know I owe all of you a lot of back dated entries.

Well, this one is not so back dated actually, coz it happened over last weekend, but since I snapped some pictures (I finally charged my camera's battery after ignoring it for 2 months, forgive me), I figured why not put it here.

So last weekend encek K's family(his father's side) had 'family day futsal session'. I was abit frustrated when I first know about the family day activity coz this mak buyong can't play along :( sedeyyy lorr tak dapat participate main futsal together with his relatives Dahla this is the first formal gathering after we got married last year, so am abit frustrated not being able to join them to kick some balls and running around. Nonetheless, of course I went to the family day, duduk tepi jadi pom-pom girl pun jadik lah. At least I get the chance to meet, greet and maybe get to know our relatives even more.

So that night, about 50 family members came. Only the cousins played the futsal (yang muda-muda), pakcik2, makcik2, cucu2, cicit2 semua duduk tepi court aje borak2. Altogether there were 4 teams (the members of the team consist 7 people, of different families). Encek K team's name is "Kite Bakor Jeee" , semua memang dah tersampuk ngan Hantu Kak Limah ni. Hehhehehehee... But his team did not do well, gaya memang over tak hengat, but keep on losing at each game. Hahahahaha...

I did not play obviously, jadi penyokong setia team "Kita Bakor Jeee" eventhough asek kalah je. When encek K's team is not playing I try to sit around and mingle with the rest. Some of them did not know I was pregnant, so everyone was so nice when they found out I was pregnant. Everyone keep saying sweet things like 'Jaga diri tu', 'Jangan penat-penat sangat', 'Makan tu.. makan ni..', and everyone gave a lot of pregnancy tips. Felt so much loooveeee that night. Hehehheheheee..

The final match ended around 11.15pm, and right after that was prize giving time and most importantly lucky draw time! I got lucky that night and won a hamper :) Weehoooo! Tak dapat main bola pun takpelah, janji dapat hamper. Around 12 midnight everything was settled and all 50 of us headed for supper at the nearby mamak (kaya mamak tu malam tu, dapat 50 orang customer sekaligus). Around 1.30am, everyone bid goodbye (ada yang balik jauh ke Melaka and PD), and again I feel so much loveee coz semua orang salam, peluk and pesan all sweet things to me. Seriously I can't wait for more family activities like this :))

anak sapa tu?

Stumbled upon these pics while cleaning up my office laptop just now... Decided to put the pics here coz I luv the pics sooooo much :D (And becoz when I look at the pics, membuatkan saya tak sabarrrr nak menanti kelahiran my baby)

The pics were taken last year but I couldn't remember in which month exactly. Masa ni pinjam our friend's daughter coz all three of us (me, encek K and the superrrr cute lil girl) were wearing matching number 3 POLO shirts :) The light blue shirt dress on the girl was a present from us when the girl was born, kena tunggu dia besar sket baru boleh pakai. Coincidently we were wearing the number 3 shirts on the same event, so amekla gambar together-gether.

Jangan salah sangka pulak, I have not given birth yet ye kengkawan, kang ada pulak yang ingat I dah bersalin (kang tak pasal-pasal keluar gossip liar pulak). Belum lagi, still jauh lagi perjalanan mak buyung ni.

alaaa tak nampak the number on the girl's shirtdress


haaaa.. nampak tak? matchy matchy number 3. I loike!

Esok bila dah ada anak sendiri pun nak matchy matchy macam ni lah :)


geram kan tengok si kecik tu, muka monyok tapi bam-bam sangat!

p.s: haihhh miss my long hair la pulak after seeing these pictures

finally... phewwwww

Yeah.. I know.. I know... It's been a while... Ok fine it's been looooonggggggg since I last write anything here. Haihhh forgive me pleaseeee... Not that I don't have anything to write (believe me I have more than plenty ideas to write), just that 'tak larat' and betul-betul takde mood nak tulis.

I'm now in my 11th weeks of pregnancy *alhamdulillah* but......my first trimester has not been kind to me :( I am experiencing really bad morning sickness (or more like all day long sickness for me) all this while.. Yup, believe me it is really really bad.. I have not been myself, the hormones have taken over me. Helpppp... That's why I've been quiet here, I have no strength to write or even strength nor desire to take pictures anymore (teruk kan?)... haihhhhhhhh..

All I want to do is sleep, sleep, sleep and more sleep. Asek nak tido or baring je coz I feel dizzy and lightheaded almost all day long. Kadang2 tu ok kejap tak pening tapi tiba-tiba je out of no wehere pening tu datang menyerang balik. And when I said dizzy, it's not the normal sakit kepala/pening ok, ni stok stok dizzy yang sampai nak pitam/pengsan ok. Bangun tidur je I will feel dizzy and lightheaded and terus rasa nak pengsan. That's why I just want to sleep, sleep, sleep all day long :( And since these past two weeks it's getting worst coz the dizziness is accompanied by nausea feeling and then I will vomit. And lepas vomit terus badan jadi lemah.

Nowadays I don't even drive to work anymore. Dah dekat 2 bulan kot tak drive kereta langsung. Encek K will send me and pick me up from work everyday. He doesn't trust me driving by myself. Hey, I don't even trust myself driving nowadays (that bad eh?). Yela buat tetiba lightheaded tengah drive pastu lost control of the car sape nak menjawab kan kan? Better be safe than sorry right?

Even Encek K knows whether I'm OK or not on each day, kalau OK tak pening then I am the normal me, buat lawak buduh ngan dia, kacau dia, membebel suruh dia kemas rumah, nak keluar g shopping, makan banyak and tak kisah nak keluar lepak bila-bila pun or sampai kul brapa pun. Kalau pening, I'll be quiet, diammmm je, no jokes, no going out, no lepaking, no nothing and nak tido by 9pm (sape tido awal camni weh?). Normally when I'm not OK Encek K will try his best to cheer me up like "Yang nak kuar gi shopping? Me bawak yang gi MidValley or Sg Wang eh? Kita gi jenjalan eh, boleh minum bubble tea (which is my fav), makan-makan, bla, bla, blaaa." Yup he tried.. But at the end I still don't want to go out.. I still choose to...... sleep which is hard to believe (even Encek K tak percaya that I said no to shopping spree, hahahahahahah)

Actually hari ni memang menggigihkan diri tulis entry ni sebab nak share ngan mommies out there, mane tau korang pun sama macam I (all day long morning sickness)haihhhhhh. Do drop your comments and bagitau your blog yeah so that I can link 'em here.

Ape-ape pun, I bersyukur yang amat for this pregnancy (kang ade lak yang kata asek komplen je tak reti bersyukur ke?). I just pray that my all day long morning sickness ni will be over soon (hopefully tak macam ni bile masuk second trimester. Please pray for me yeah... Thanks deariesssssss :)

p.s: Nanti I akan meng-upload gambar I ye.. nantikan kemunculan mak buyung ini...
