Pregnancy Week 10 – The End Of Something Fishy

My Mc Donald Fillet O Fish  madness has ended.

Yes , I ate (or, devoured?) the luscious fish burger with tartar sauce and pickles everyday, for every meal for a week. And I also took the iniative to get my supply of it during lunch time – because that’s when they have a God sent(haha)  promotion, only RM3.50 for an ala carte order. And I would return to my office with a wide (fishy) smile knowing I have my supply of food until the next day.

But right after my hubby did a psychology test on me (stuff he learnt during a course), we discovered that the burger is not very good (okay it figures, a fast food is still a fast food, I know).

The test was something like this:

1.Stand straight and lift your arm (your writing hand) at shoulder level ;

2.Let the other hand be on top of your abdomen, your qi centre (see, I married one tabib cina hehe);

3.Another person will speak of a thing/event/people, like : “Fillet O Fish” and tap your arm, exerting some pressure, but you must resist the pressure;

4.If your arm can resist the pressure and quickly be back at its original level – means that something is good for you;and

5.If your arm weakens and fell down, means that something is not good for you.

I did it for Fillet O Fish, and turned out it isnt really good for me.

But fruits, other types of fish and also beef is OK.

But not chicken. It is said that eating too much chicken is not so good, as chicken has an element of jealousy.

That’s fine with me. I am not really into any chicken dish  now.

Apart from food,  I also tried the test on several items like

….Louis Vuitton Speedy bags

and apparently it is GOOD for me!!

Charice Pempengco Really Made Me Cry

I Have Nothing – by Whitney Houston

Share my life, take me for what I am
Coz I’ll never change all my colors for you
Take my love, I’ll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don’t really need to look very much further
I don’t want to have to go where you don’t follow
I won’t hold it back again, this passion inside
Can’t run from myself
There’s nowhere to hide

Well,don’t make me close one more door
I don’t wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don’t walk away from me…
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don’t have you, you, you, you, you, you…

You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love mmmmm…
I never knew love like I’ve known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to

I don’t really need to look very much further
I don’t want to have to go where you don’t follow
I won’t hold it back again, this passion inside

I Can’t run from myself
There’s nowhere to hide
Your love I’ll remember, forever

Don’t make me close one more door
I don’t wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don’t walk away from me…
I have nothing, nothing, nothing…

Well,don’t make me close one more door
I don’t wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don’t walk away from me no…
Don’t walk away from me
Don’t you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don’t have you, you
ooohhh,ooooh
if i don’t have you

I am in Langkawi at the moment, not holidaying, working, but, I ‘ll try to d0 both.

This is the song “I have Nothing”  originally by Whitney Houston, sung by Charice Pempengc0, a Filipino singing sensation.

I actually shed tears when listening this song, but now even a sad ad made me cry. Pregnancy hormones .

But I remember shedding tears when listening to this song, even before I am married.

I guess its the voice. And song, too.

So do listen to this, does it bring tears to your eyes for no reason too?

True Blue I Heart You

 

Pregnancy Week 9-10 ish – Oh no, not beluga caviar!

Last week crawled by oh so so so slowly.

 I was actually looking forward for the last weekend, with many plans brimming in my head.

Only to end up in bed, with head ache and sleepiness as if I was drugged.

 I wanted to go for a walk in a park nearby, but I guess not yet.

And my appetite which has been larger than life before, is dwindling …

It is as if someone installed an automatic gate in my throat.

Rice. Close gate. Wholemeal bread and kaya which I was totally into last week, close gate.Clank!!!

I fasted on Sunday to ganti puasa, and felt so hungry since my lack of appetite prevented me from having a hearty sahur. Tried to watch a movie (My Sassy Girl: rating, booooring) but the characters kept on drinking and there was me salivating over the drinks. Lost my focus there. Even caught myself wondering if  beer really tastes like root beer hehe.

Come buka puasa with a meal of  McD Fillet O Fish, the gate opened and I crammed it all that I am actually in danger of choking. I even bought two burgers at once in case I am still hungry but no, I can only finish one at a time. One per entry at the gate.

While I’m having my meal, I can’t help thinking about other expecting mommy to bes, who craves for certain type of food but unable to afford it. Imagine the frustation and the hunger since you are unable to eat anything else.Oh my goodness. I so feel you.May you, wherever you are, manage to get what you crave  too. Ameen.

As long as I don’t crave for beluga caviar after this, I guess I will be OK.

My weekly food likes and aversions this week:

Likes:

McD Fillet O Fish- that warm fish fillet and tartar sauce sliding my autogated throat …ohh bliss!

ribena and plain water – the mildly sweet and sour taste plus the soothing feeling that I amtaking enough vitamin C

Oreo peanut butter – i like the sweet and salty taste milo – warm and comforting my tummy, but would cause sourness in my mouth later

 Dislikes (yucks)

the smell and taste of curry

the smell and taste of rendang

fried or cooked onion, its after taste and smell

rice!

raw or cooked garlic, its after taste and smell

grated coconut in nasi kerabu Wong Solo fares which I liked just fine before, now its a complete no-no.

And the oh the heat! I need the aircond. My poor husband ’s teeth is chattering while me, I am sleeping like a baby ( plus one inside).

Ah, the wonders of hormones, ya?

P/S: Dear God, please grant my husband a lot of pahala for his patience in taking care of me during this time. Ameen.

P/S  P/S: Dear God, please grant me patience in dealing with my hormonal changes and also in addition to that, may I have some more McD Fillet O Fish please. Ameen.

Aum!

Home Schweet Home

Insya Allah our house in SA is going to be completed by October 2009.

French styled “Heritage”

Thanks dear hubby for providing us ( the wee one in my tummy and Tam-tam-and- Oreo- peanut -butter-biscuit- craving me)a nice house to stay. Semoga Allah mengurniakanmu rezeki yang berkat dan mencukupi dan semoga sentiasa dalam perlindungan dan kasih sayang Allah. s.w.t.

Sekarang tengah sibuk surveying cara mendekorasi bilik tidur utama. I like  soothing and calming colors, like, the palest of pink, lilac,gray and light blue. A turqoise feature wall pun lawa juga, menyejukkan mata.

Dan jangan lupa, bagaimana cara menghias bilik tidur yang romantik!

We are not planning to spend a fortune yet on house decoration, just for basic necessities like grills, kitchen cabinet (May I have a kitchen island? I will rajin memasak selepas ini, promise promise ), curtains (ours is end lot house, so you can imagine how many windows there are) and lightings. On curtains, dulu selalu komen kepada Mama dan kegemarannya terhadap langsir yang langsung tidak aku faham, tetapi nah sekarang padan muka diri sendiri because I have to think about a whole lot of curtains all by myself!!

Conclusion is, this woman is not fully domesticated yet . Hehe.

Apologies for my BM-English mix, after this I will stick to either BM or English for my entries.

Just to prove that it s not impossible to be good in both languages, kan.

P/S: Satu je problem setakat ini, I still havent learn proper Mandarin/Cantonese/Hokkien/Hakka /Javanes or whaattever my hubby is using to converse with his parents. Help.

Pregnancy Week 8

Had a scare last week so went on MC for 2 days. There was blood on the dance floor  and we went straight to the Doc. Doc did ultrasound and I get to peek and say hello to the wee one again.:)

According to Doc there is a little bleeding at the sac but the wee one development is as what is supposed to be for that week.With its little heart already dub dubbing…

He gave me a medicine(maybe hormone) which I am to take twice daily and Alhamdulillah, the bleeding stops!

I am suppose to see Doc again tomorrow, so is quite nervous now. Please pray for us ya for the best of everything…ameen!

I also stop all my strenuous physical activity including my 15 minutes excercising on stepper every morning. Also, tidak terlampau window shopping masa weekend.

And so I miss M&S sale and MJ warehouse sale:P

Inikah antara  pengorbanan mulia seorang ibu?

Huhu poyoness.

oh yea, this is the list of my food craving/aversion this week:

No longer like coffee and tea. I cure my caffein addiction by getting pregnant. Congrats! Dulu bukan main ganti dgn teh hijau la tukar decaff la.Tapi misi gagal belaka hampeh

Prefer milo, panas-panas lagi melegakan perut.

Nak karipap la.I love masin food now, ada kick.Tapi dah 2 hari pencarian ku gagal.

KFC Hot n Spicy (its baccck but I already love it, so I dont think its craving la)

Nasi lemak yang kecik-kecik (ala yang bungkusan kecik, bukan yang penuh dengan lauk-lauk fancy) – i dont know why nasi lemak kecik.Bukan ramai orang suka nasi lemak besar ke nak oi LOL

Roti bakar dengan seri kaya…and also…

Pisang!!!

P/S: Bab pisang yang tak faham tu. I have never been a fan of this fruit. But found it sooth my pedih ulu hati.Maybe because it contains folate and potassium. Pandai la this wee one besar nanti jadi pharmacist ok. Jadi PTD pun tak pe hihi

Pregnancy – Week 7-8ish – On My Best Behaviour

first picca

Yes, I am doing my very  best to be on my best behaviour. All for the sake of this wee one currently residing in Hotel Mummy Tummy, infinity stars rated. Kalah Burj Al Dubai okeh. The previous pregnancy post was written nearly 2 weeks ago. And now I am in 7-8 weeks ish.

To those currently counting fingers, well if you must know pregnancy weeks count starts from the date of last menstrual period, the LMP, including 2 weeks of pre pregnancy phase.

I know I am supposed to be resting a lot now but lately I was soo busy, even flying to Langkawi twice a week!!! Usually I return home only to doze off as early as possible. I never expected that pregnancy is this tiring. And heaty, yes. My hubby said I am so hot,well of course he means my body temperature LOL. But I really dont mind if he thinks I am HOT :p coz I do need the encouragement because currently, I dont feel attractive nor pretty!

Food craving, well, last week I craved for my Mama’s nasi goreng with sambal. Wah sampai terasa-rasa kat tekak ni. Dasyat ye penangan mengidam ni.Sampai benda lain tak menyelerakan langsung. And food aversion, yucks saya tak suka bau rendang dan kari ayam yang sedang dimasak.

I also did gained some pounds, largely because I dont really muntah and all that malah bertambah pulak selera aku ni? Hehe.Morning sickness pulak adalah pening-pening di waktu petang. Jam 4 petang.Sah la this wee one operate by UK time.

However, this darling wee one is still so fragile, so I have to behave and mindful of what I am eating.

Please pray for me too, dear readers!

Pregnancy – Week 5

Wah, ada komen-komen di kalangan my dearest friends who whiffed what I am experiencing right now.

Bie, ya, what you suspect looked like this…(+) .

Kyra, I say alhamdulillah frequently now .

I am not about to annouce it to the whole wide world, but to those close to me, yeah you should discreetly know, to share the joy.

When I first discovered I felt there was something wrong with me. My boobs hurt, and suddenly of all things, I want to drink teh tarik. I thought I was being silly. Or mengada-ngada even. I also had some rashes up my legs. Gave me a  H1N1 scare for a while hehe since we just got back from UK. Keletihan. Letih sangat. Pening, especially around 4 pm. And fever, well what about feeling feverish every night. Man, now I know why they say there’s a bun in the oven.Badan kita akan panas macam oven!

And I, the health conscious one suddenly crave for:

A big fat Quarter Pounder by Mc Donalds

Bihun sup dekat restoran D’ Giling near Hosp Ampang

Teh Tarik

Nasi Lemak Rendang Daging, Sambal Ikan Bilis dan Telur Goreng Mata Kerbau di Taman Warisan Pertanian.

I know it is rather soon, but rezeki Allah nak beri, terimalah senyum manis dan hati yang terbuka.

And the bloat, well it feels like I have  huge wide leather belt around my waist.That I cant take off.

I am drinking Mamil Mama now, a vanilla flavored milk with Immunoforce and Oligosaccharide.

I am concern jugak manalah tau I tak cukup folic acid, but alhamdulillah the multivitamin I am taking is good, Centrum. Highly reccomended!

It is still fragile, therefore I am taking a good care of myself and pray to Allah for the safety of everything.

Ameen.

Dusty Hahaha

o yeah.  this dusty dusty blog. Its been 2 months since I last update.

I am starting to grace it again with my thoughts

Oh ye, about a bride who organized her wedding by blogging.

Yeah, moi.

Alhamdulillah, selamat semuanya.

In my head, our wedding its the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended hehe!

But looking at the wedding photos, noticed that I have gained some pounds huhu. Bahagia la kot ni~

But anyway, some asked me, what do I discover about life after marriage:

“acceptance” and “patience”

“contentment” and “sanity” (bukan sanitary, ye sayang. Jangan salah baca).As opposed to insanity.

And the most important fact there is,

 that my hubby and I have a pair of sepet eyes!!!!

P/S: Malas nak tulis banyak hari ni, sebab saya sekarang kena kurangkan kafein atau tidak boleh mengambil langsung dan saya juga ada fatigue serta afternoon nausea sudah melanda. Tanda suruh balik awal lepak kat rumah.
