‎*Berfikirlah sebelum berkata kata, jangan berfikir sesudah berkata kata sebab sebelum perkataan keluar ianya kita punya, apabila sudah keluar ianya orang punya. Dari kata kata sahaja, kita boleh mendapat banyak kawan kawan dan lawan.*Ok. That was posted on the FB status of a motherly someone who somehow I have only met once but have my admiration and respect. She posts a lot of words of wisdom

Tukar topic jap...Another reason why I love living here... pregnancy checkups covered, delivery covered, dental covered... And yesterday mempergunakan another benefit...Cermin mata. Also di-cover oleh insurance provider (fondly nicknamed MekAgah)... weeehoooo!!! 500 riyals for frame and 500 riyals for lens.Haaa.... tapi dalam tuu bukan cermin mata. Itu contact lens yang kena bayar sendiri ;-)

So why didn't I stick to one program after having had previous success? Well, I guess it's all a matter of the moment.I had all the time in the world when I was a teenager. Nothing to worry about except homework and exams. Boleh lah balik jer sekolah, lepas rehat2, with KRU blaring away (hahahahahahaha!! yes!! KRU) get on the machine and ride away. So the main focus was on EXERSIZING MORE...

A topic of interest for most women right?I'm no expert, I just want to share my experience. And I think I've got quite a lot to share.Let's start with my childhood. Face it, I've always been the fat kid. Peaked when I was 16 at 75kgs. I'm only 158cm tall. I lost the weight through exercise back then. Used one machine yang macam skiing on air tuu my aunt beli from Kayla BH. Slowly lost the weight

I said hello to my pre-pregnant Zayn jeans a few days ago. Woohooooo!!! Almost A YEAR AND NINE MONTHS!! I have been avoiding it since early pregnancy. Simpan gantung elok-elok dalam closet, suruh dia duduk sembunyi diam-diam. Lepas tuu masih takut nak bertemu dengannya walau lepas bersalin semua because I just can't bear the thought of it letting me down (or is it me letting it down?)Hahahaha...

Pavlova made for a pregnant mommy here in Jubail. She has been mentioning a few times about wanting to order this and I on the other hand have bought all the stuff to make it but ada sajer halangan. The day I finally made it and sent it to her she was already a few days overdue. I felt so relieved sempat jugak bagi dia makan before she gave birth (today!). Yerlah... kalau anak dia keluar asyik

Syukur alhamdulillah, skali lagi last weekend kami satu family dapat menunaikan ibadah umrah. Kat sini memang orang akan berpusu-pusu mengambil kesempatan ke Kota Mekkah di bulan-bulan sebegini. Musim selepas haji dan sebelum kerajaan Saudi buka application visa ke orang ramai untuk umrah. So takdelah ramai sangat seperti bulan-bulan biasa.Pada mulanya ingat nak pergi naik aeroplane sebab belum

Early last week out of the blue I suggested to my husband why not we go to Riyadh for the weekend. At that time it was "just because"' no particular reason to make the 4 hour trip. Just that it's a big city, and we city folks living in a small town just need to be in the hustle and bustle of the big city life once in a while hahahaha. Skali skali gi mencari traffic jam apa salahnya ;-)So anyway,

It's almost 12noon. The daughter is STILL sleeping. Tak taulah dia tido pukul brapa malam semalam. We got back late and dia dah tido dalam kereta, so bila sampai rumah segar bugar lah pulak. My son just made a quick getaway into the kitchen since he noticed the door is ajar. Pantang nampak pintu dapur terbukak, mesti serbu masuk, tak taulah apa yang dia minat sangat kat dapur tuu.Air takde. Cuaca

The Toffee Nut Latte... oh yeah yummmsssss...I think it's been 2 years since my last cup where I think I had one almost every other day... I'm still "officially" off coffee, teas and sodas (cuma curi2 minum sikit jer!!)...Kat sini ada... but not in the red cup... and no sugar spinkles...Oh... teringin plakkkkk....

If you can't see clearly, its a belly dancing Arab girl ;-)Ada satu kali tuu dia boleh pecut merangkak keluar dari bilik sebab dengar lagu nii.

In Malaysia, we're so used to the phrase Masyaallah being used in a negative situation. E.g. when our kids are acting out 'Masyaallah budak kecik nii buat perangai!!! or when we accidentally see horrid pictures on Facebook.But here in the Kingdom, it's the exact opposite. They use the phrase in a positive way. When an Arab sees my child (or any other child for that matter) they stroke her hair

Come 6 Dzulhijjah (that's 2 Nov) I'll be an instant mom of FOUR. That's the day most Malaysians here will depart for Haj. As will my next door neighbour.They wanted to bring their mom over to look after the kids while they were gone, but the Saudi govenment has closed all visa applications since before Aidilfitri until after Aidiladha. So we offered to take care of their little boy and girl aged

Last Thursday (which is the weekend here for us) we joined our neighbour and another Malaysian family and a couple of 'singles' for a bbq picnic in the desert. That's what most locals do during their weekends here when the weather is nice and cool. It's usually the park, the beach or desert sands.Lama jugak tak menjejak kaki ke padang berpasir ni.

I have been wanting to make a Panna Cotta for quite a long time now, just never got around to it. Since I have quite a bit of the strawberry sauce and I have all other ingredients needed in the pantry thought I'd give it a try.Result... it could've been better. Lighter. Maybe reduce the cream a bit. But hubs ate it so ok laa kot. Refreshing.I just googled for the recipe, browsed through a few of

Ever since that Masterchef Australia 3 episode where Donna Hay came for a masterclass on her Basic Cheesecake recipe, I have been drooling for some and then some more.I satisfied my craving at Fuddruckers in Al-Rasheed Mall, Al-Khobar. Honestly, it was yummy for dessert at a burger joint. It was a slice of yummy basic cheesecake topped with strawberry sauce.Then hubby bought a slice from the

Probably the hardest words to say... Is it though?Why is giving 1001 excuses easier than saying "I'm Sorry".Example yang dulu harituu k. Bila ada masalah sedikit dengan online seller, instead of saying "Maaf yer tak get back to you bla bla bla bla" which would immediately cool me down of course, she straight away went on a defensive mode and came up with 1001 excuses.Which reminds me I should

I made this a while ago for someone who ordered from me. Honestly, the problem for me was I can't put a price on it without feeling a bit guilty. I calculated what I used but still felt guilty. Hahahahaha.... memang tak boleh nak menjual langsung.Anyway, this was my 6th or maybe 7th attempt at perfecting the pavlova but still I think it looks messy.

Yesterday we had an iftar invite at one of the beach camps in Fanateer, Chevron Beach Camp. Kalau dekat sini, in some areas along the beaches there are private compounds that people can rent to carry out activities. So bolehlah women pun join skali. These Arabs kan very private people, especially so when it comes to their women. By the way, when I say camp, I don't mean tents. Their "camps" is

If I can finish a thick storybook in a day or two, why is it hard to do the same with the Quran? (Well, the translation at least because the Arabic text requires a teacher to ensure correct tajwid.) Set a goal. And then make a plan to reach that goal.

Looks like we'll be celebrating aidilfitrri here in the Kingdom. Sedih ker? Tak jugak. Gembira ker? Pun tidak. Neutral jer. Dah tua laa katakan. Raya is for the kids. Ramadhan should be more important right? (Bila laaa nak berubah nii... reading Wardina's fb page was inspiring). Don't know if hubs is off on 1st Syawal or not.

After giving birth, during confinement and up until he turns about 6 months I felt really strongly about not wanting any more children (seriously!). I have two. I have a boy and a girl. What more do I need. Then he fills up. Laughs. Touches my face with his tiny hands. Is just plain adorable I never want the moments to end! And my girl gets more independant. Brave. And begins to let go of mommy

I should write more just for me. I haven't been writing because sometimes there's just too much to tell but no two words will ever be right to string together and picture what I truly want to say. And in the end I just give up, afraid that people may interpret what I write, differently than what I actually mean. But today, I read a blog that inspired me to write again. To ramble in this mommy

Nak tido tapi tak selesa. Bf pun tanak sampai b's bengkak. Nak dodoi pun takde ruang...sempiiit!!The last 2~ 3 hrs baru dia tido...Nasib flight balik dah booking seat depan awal-awal.

After a year plus of "potty training", I can now officially say she's fully off the diapers. Yup, it took that long.Well, mostly because I let her lead the way with whatever she (and also this mommy) is comfortable with.Masa mula-mula start dulu memang stress giler lah. I guess I expected too much within a short time. Lepas tuu mommy nii chill a bit and let her be. But tetap tak putus remind her

Semalam as soon as hubby balik dari ofis terus keluar menuju ke Khobar. The plan was to check out the Holiday Inn at Half Moon Bay and nak reserve for this weekend when MIL and BIL sampai. Here's a pic of the resort. Kat website nampak macam cantik even though the rooms nampak macam ok ok jer.Image Googled.So anyway, we've been to Half Moon Bay once before tapi masa tuu malam tak nampak apa.

Selalunya kalau I dalam toilet doing my thing, I'll close and lock the door if hubby is around to keep an eye on the kids. Kalau hubby takde, lantak ler pintu bukak besar-besar. Itu pun cepaaaaat jer buat apa yang patut.Tapi last weekend masa hubby kat rumah and I was in the bathroom lupa pulak nak kunci pintu toilet tuu. Haaa... kalau tak kunci pintu siap laa Cik Lyssa mula main bukak tutup

Breastfeeding hurdle. Hurdle ker?? Hmmmmm... more like, confius kejap.I think every exclusive bf mom dah tau kot pasal yellow poo and green poo. Normally yellow poo would indicate that the baby is getting all the rich, creamy goodness of bmilk... meaning dapat cukup foremilk and hindmilk laa tuu. But kalau poo tuu kaler green would mean the baby is getting too much foremilk (more watery) and not

I've been jotting down a whole lot but then keep changing my mind and just save instead of publish.I guess there's nothing interesting to publish since we haven't really gone anywhere special. This past week hubby was on call so lagi lah tak boleh nak ke mana. Memang duduk rumah diam-diam jer. Sumore Lyssa batuk and selsema sikit, then tetiba menjangkit pulak selsema kat Zayn. Kesian my baby boy

Trying to cook more healthily but susah gak nak memikir menu when I'm so used to cooking using santan all the time. Hard to stay away from the deep fried stuff too sebab dah biasa. Hmmm... nampaknya oven tuu makin kerap dipanaskan lepas nii?Guess have to surf the net to get more ideas.Someone needs to lower their cholesterol level before it gets worse.

The first stroller that we purchased was for Lyssa before she was born. It was at the My Dear warehouse sale in Puchong. It was decently priced. And it was pink, of course. Tapi rasanya tak banyak pakai stroller nii sebab bulky. And the wheels tersekat-sekat masa turning. We all lagi banyak pakai stroller biru pass down from my sister's kids. It was an umbrella stroller senang nak bukak tutup

When I have a lot of things on my mind, I tend not to write a lot... haaaa... because I think a lot of negativity in a public blog will just bring in more negative energy... right? Anyway, haven't written much about my boy Zayn this time around right. Masa Lyssa dulu rajin jugak buat milestones. Hahahaha... firstborns are special in their own way. Zayn's a real BOY. You can see it in his facial

Be happy. Hidup nii tak guna kalau tak happy. If you only tend to mainly focus on what another person is NOT doing to make you happy, than you will forever be miserable. You can find happiness within yourself. You yourself choose whether you want to be happy or unhappy. If you don't sweat the small stuff and take initiative to please someone else sincerely without expecting something in return,

We were having dinner at Applebee's Huwaylat when suddenly my husband noticed the dusty air. When the waiter there opened the back door, we saw that there was actually a terrible sandstorm outside. Masa tuu baru jer order. Plannya nak ke Panda beli groceries lepas dinner, but bila my husband kuar nak check keadaan, he said dalam Panda pun dah penuh pasir. Risau lah pulak.

Been awhile huh?No reason. Just didn't feel like jotting down much.So a pic of the kiddos first to get me started.This is in the car when we were making the 14 hour drive to Jeddah to make Zayn's birthcert and passport. Dah keluar rumah 3 hari before habis pantang... huhuhu... jalan jauh pulak tuu...

So after the baby came out, the doctor immediately put him on my tummy bloody mucus and all. Masyaallah, what a sight I tell you. A wonderful gift from the Creator. After they cut the cord and everything, a nurse took the baby to clean him up and all that stuff and gave him back to me shiny and blood free. I took that opportunity to pull back my gown and bring him to my b's. Sekejap jer tapi,

In the middle of the night of his Birth Day, I felt a major ache while trying to turn in my sleep. Macam perut masuk angin sakit mencucuk-cucuk tak ingat. Then I wanted to pee as usual but had a major problem getting up cos I ached so bad.After finally being done with the bathroom, I suddenly had the shivers. Menggigil satu badan kesejukan tetiba. Hubs siap kena bangun selimutkan berlapis-lapis

I'm still here at home.The baby's still snugg inside me (adik nii dengar kata kan, Ummi Atok dah settle down please make an appearance k baby).The parental units are arriving in the coming wee hours this coming morning (pukul 2.30pagi sampai airport).The house is ummmmmm... decent. Not spotless but can do laa considering the fact that I move around like a penguin now (not kidding you!).No more

Dah lama gak teringin makan nasi lemak yang dibungkus daun pisang. Kebetulan semalam ke Lulu Supermarket yang banyak barang imported, terjumpa pulak daun pisang. Segelung SAR4 plus.Ok laaa... banyak and cantik jugak daunnya. Dapatlah bungkus nasi lemak sikit untuk balas pinggan jiran-jiran yang terperuk dalam almari tuu.

I'm like a ticking time bomb these days ;-) My husband pun kalau tengok muka I lain macam jer will immediately tanya "Kenapa?! Kenapa?!"I'm waiting for, well, any sign. But at the same time, telling the baby to hold on a little while longer. Confius baby agaknya ;-)So far nothing extraordinary. No tell tale signs. No show. No water. No discharge.But I THINK (haaaa, itu pun tak sure tak sure jugak

Found this yummilicious bath set at a shop in the Kingdom Centre, Riyadh.Tengok nama pun sedap. It smells wonderful. And it's relatively inexpensive too. Shower gel, scrub, body butter and lip balm.Memang suka bau anything strawberry based sejak awal pregnancy. Masa first trimester dulu dok hentam pakai Lyssa punya Strawberry Shortcake perfume ;-)

In order not to add more stress to myself nanti, I will...1) keep calm and remain strong (kuat semangat ler tuu) IF the husband cannot masuk the labor room with me nanti. Ya, saya tau sebenarnya saya lebih manja if the husband is around so I'll take it that He knows what's best.2) ASK firmly to hold the baby as soon as they clean him up and TRY MY BEST to put him at the b's just to entice him

After that last post, I went in to see my gynae after the ultrasound.My gynae informed me that I had a bad case of UTI. She recomended that I admit myself and be given antibiotic treatment via IV drip. Jeng jeng jeng. But it was only UTI and all my other stats were ok... blood pressure... HB still low but tak drop from last time... baby was doing well, growth, heartbeat, movement semua

I welcome it with mixed emotions ;-) Tapi everyday me and lyssa cakap kat baby," Tunggu Ummi&Atok datang k baru adik keluar!" That's another 20 days more or less. Hopefully adik boleh tunggu!

One of the reasons why I agreed to make the 4-hour journey to Riyadh @ 36weeks pregnant with a bit of runny nose and sore throat to boot. To taste one of these from the famous store.(Oh, the runny nose and sore throat was cured with constant drinking of hot water, kalau kat rumah mesti campur madu and lemon. Sekejap jer baik, tak yah take meds. I really try to avoid taking meds during pregnancy.)

Sekali ok lagi.Ini sampai dekat sepuluh kali mention benda yang sama pasal anak sendiri yang 'best' dan anak orang lain yang 'tak best'... dah rasa macam tak berkenan plak.Lets face it, to each parent their own style. Is there really a right or wrong way to it (selagi tak salah dari sisi undang-undang dan agama?)And kalau dah namanya in a public place, kenalah accept perangai orang yang macam

Nak berdinner bagai kerja malam lah pulak kan...)****Memang sengaja no veggies, just the way he likes it. Medium well. Cook on very hot non-stick pan, 5-7 minutes on each side, yums!

All her favorite Disney cartoons are included as games.Rasa macam dah lama benda nii keluar tapi sebab it's on the expensive side, takde lah nak beli ker apa.Masa baru-baru kluar, berlambak-lambak jual kat ELC, Toys R Us & Jarir Bookstore.

Tetiba rasa cuak nak beranak kat sini.I think I have to stop hearing people's stories (baru dengar satu dua citer kurang senang dah menggelabah semacam) and making assumptions.Doa jer lah semuanya dipermudahkan.Amin.

I am 33 weeks along (I think).I feel FAT. Nope... wait a minute... I AM FAT! Hahahahahaha....Honestly... cuba okay nak monitor dan tak naik macam first pregnancy. FAIL!!Naik mendadak kali pertama is masa balik KL masa Aidilfitri harituu, melantak tak ingat. Now tengah musim sejuk kat Saudi nii. Bila dah sejuk tuu... alamatnya asyik terasa lapar jer lah! Bila lapar, MAKAN!Harituu rasa down sangat

Two similar but WEIRD things that are the same for both pregnancies:1. My belly button doesn't pop out like everyone else's ;-p2. I REALLY REALLY REALLY ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOVE the smell of tumeric powder. Serbuk kunyit. Yup. AND, suka SANGAT SANGAT bau dia sampai kena amik secubit serbuk kunyit, letak garam skiiiit... cuit dgn air and letak atas lidah baru puas.... muahhahahahahahahahahaha!!! Weird

One of my family's favourite dessert. Tapi tak boleh buat selalu sebab karang tak stop makan. And this creamy chocolatey dessert is really sinful if you're counting calories.Atas tuu pic kasi cantik jer, kalau nak makan betul-betul, kena drown the pudding in chocolate sauce baru sedap giler (like pic below). If you like, can also top up with more fruit cocktail... we were all out and I like it

Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidil Adha!Pagi raya yang seperti hari-hari lain. Hubs is already off to work. The kiddo is fast asleep (dekat pukul 10am krg baru bangun laa tuu, its only 8.45am now).Tengahari karang baru jengok jiran-jiran tengok masing-masing masak apa.Sekarang nii pun baru selesai masak nasi. (Lepas tuu kena stop kejap isi perut sebab tiba-tiba rasa lapar macam nak pengsan...boleh

Esok kitorang dah raya kat sini. Baru terperasan yang di Mesia raya 17hb... betul ker?Hmmm... but takde bezanya bagi mommy nii and cik lyssa kot, cos daddy tetap kerja! Bukan terpaksa, tapi dengan rela hatinya.Malaysians kat sini ada buat jamuan raya kat beach camp, but tak dapek lah nak join... bukannya boleh pergi sendiri.Masak sendiri makan sendiri kat rumah jer lah.

Tadi first time buat Glucose Tolerance Test. Masa pregnant dengan Lyssa dulu my gynae cakap tak payah buat sebab both MY parents pun takde penyakit kencing manis and weight gain pun tak melampau kot.Kat sini memang thorough sikit. Every month have to buat blood and urine test sumer. Every month kena cucuk check hemoglobin. "Seronoknya!!!"Tapi nasib so far lab people kat hospital tuu memang pros

Pregnancy insomnia.Susah betul nak tido balik kalau dah terjaga. Pusing pusing pusing.... tak jugak lena. Sekarang nii baru pukul 5.30pagi time sini. Rasanya dah jaga dari beberapa jam yang lepas tak leh tido.And then sumore asyik nak terkucil jer. Kalau tak bangun and go, sakit pulak rasanya. Tapi mata mengantuk, tak larat nak bangun. Ishhhhh...Carrying this one feels different. This one is

Another recipe that I've been wanting to try, I just found the acuan the other day. Portugese egg tart. Sangat easy to make. Recipe taken from here. I have to say semua recipe dari blog Mat Gebu that I've tried, semua senang dan sedap.Tapi sebab acuan ada 6 sahaja and puff pastry pun beli 10 keping jer because nak try dulu... buat peringkat2. Semalam buat 6 ketul (first try), egg filling terlebih

It was the little kiddo's 3rd Birthday yesterday! Tak dan nak update sebab connection takde. Baru renew.I can't believe she's 3 already. Time flies. She was my little chubby baby girl who only slept peacefully in hugs. Chup! Wait! Now she's my little cheeky TODDLER who STILL only sleeps peacefully in hugs!

Tiba lah time rajin nii. Pagi tadi masak nasi lemak. Lepas tuu pulak, for the first time ever buat kuih tradisional. Kebetulan pulak semalam jumpa tepung beras pulut kat supermarket, and ada lagi sebijik kelapa kat rumah... teringat resepi dah copy paste dari blog LadyVerde. Memang betul very easy peasy!

Citer lain dulu sat. Lyssa baru habis painting tadi. Bila dah kemas semua, dia tengah main benda lain, tetiba I took a good look at her face. Panic jap bila tengok hidung dia macam berdarah sikit kat dalam, sebab dia pun memang tengah selsema sikit-sikit. Cepat-cepat amik tissue nak inspect further, hmmmppphhhhh... warna merah purple purple yang kuar. Sah watercolor. Mesti dok menenyeh hidung

Everyone loves little children here in the land of the desert. I mean seriously, you get special treatment if you have a little kid. From my personal experience I've gotten in the fast track line at the immigrations and quickly passed through customs without so much as them batting an eyelid (even though we arrived with LOADS of luggage). I just put Lyssa in front of me like a VIP card ;-)And

I love my lazy mornings... I'm going to treasure these lovely moments. I especially love watching my daughter's face when she wakes up. Nothing beats that. This morning she just stared at me and smiled. I feel blessed.(When she's up and running and talking and engine dah panas... that's a whole other matter of course ;-))She's beginning to call herself Kakak Lyssa once in a while these days.

It's back to school season here and I decided to enrol in an arabic class with other Malaysians at the Ladies Dakwah Center here.Today was the first day. Baru balik dari kelas ni haa.My schooling aside, kita cakap pasal Cik Kenit tuu laa. Since I want to go to classes, I have to leave her with someone somewhere right. And kat center tuu ada tempat "parking" kiddos with babysitters and toys while

It's been a hectic trip home trying to fill the days accomodating everyone (and not forgetting stuffing myself silly). Memang tak teringat langsung nak update blog ke apa. Just bukak fb jer.Sampai-sampai jer the same evening terus gi pasar ramadhan KJ and we spent like RM100 on food alone. Macam apa jer... (Tapi leh cover perut cakap "it's the baby!")Raya was good. Everything was great. Spent

We're back in good ol' Malaysia.Feels so good to be a first class citizen again ;-) (Hahhahahahah... dok Arab orang-orang dia assume kita nii orang gaji jer...)Anyway, hari ini hari ke-empat. Apa yang diidamkan nak dimakan semua dah dapat. Memang takde apa yang teringin dah.Dok Malaysia memang syok kalau bulan puasa. Pukul 6.30 kalau tak masak lagi pergi jer pasar ramadhan beli lauk.Tapi yang tak

Badan ini teramat sangat letih...First time lah katakan semalm memasak dari pagi hingga ke petang sorang-sorang nak kasi orang makan. En. Suami cerita ramai jugak 'bachelors' yang datangnya sampai they all kena duduk bersila kat dapurlah.

Tonight ada pot luck iftar at my house (ladies) and the house next door (men).Well, actually the lot of us decided to host an iftar for the Malaysian 'bachelors' here (those who truly ARE bachelors and those who came here without their families). Asyik makan nasi khabsa jer, jemu plak they all.Nak jugak jemput other families, but memandangkan tempat pun terhad, jemput yang mampu jer.So the 5

So I'm already in my second trimester. I've decided (at least so I thought) that I'm going to give birth right here in the Kingdom.The perks are great. Prenatal visits are covered by the company. Bersalin nanti pun cover jugak. Siapa tanak bersalin free kat private hospital right?AND I won't have to be far away from the hubs for a long period of time. If not, it would be at least 6 months of

I've never really lived anywhere long enough to experience a bond with my neighbours (or the neighbours kids).We moved around a lot when I was small so jiran rumah tetap pun sekadar hai-hai bai-bai with the parents and us.Now that my mom's retired and is permanantly living in our home sweet home, barulah nampak hubungan jiran tuu more than just angkat-angkat tangan with them.

Abayas on sale at ZLYSSA now!!!Since moving to Saudi Arabia, I've gotten to know the Abaya a little better. It's compulsory to wear a black Abaya here when going out. I have to say I like wearing it.The Abaya is like a long loose button-front overcoat that I wear over my regular clothes. So I can actually wear anything I want underneath while still covering up. Being new to wearing the hijab (

Isn't it funny how bila tak puasa, mood and selera nak makan takde langsung. Loya konon. Tak ingat pun nak makan minum. Dah tengahari baru teringat nak isi perut.Tapi first day puasa nii bangun2 pagi kena remind diri sedang berpuasa. Nasib tak capai gelas tuu.Insyaallah, moga-moga dapat puasa penuh tahun ini. Masa pregnantkan Lyssa dulu I was in my third trimester, dapat jugak puasa penuh

My little girl is one tough cookie.We had the opportunity to head west and perform our umrah with two other families. A 14-hour roadtrip where daddy had to drive solo because I can't drive here (well, all women can't drive here).Alhamdulillah, everything went well.I just want to praise my daughter for being tough throughout the journey to and back, and also during the umrah itself.She did not

Yesterday evening I felt so sleepy I laid down on the couch and wanted to close my eyes for a bit.Then tetiba, eyes closed, I felt lyssa giving me a big wet kiss on my forehead. Then she took a small banket and covered my feet with it. Then she gave me another big wet kiss on my forehead.Awwww... my daughter is soooo sweeeeeeett...

First of, I need to confess... unlike my first pregnancy, I don't really keep track of the tiny little details on this second one.I don't sit and wait for the 'butterfly flutters', or count how far along I am to the minute, or read the milestones every few days. (All I seem to notice is I'M GAINING WEIGHT LIKE NOBODYS BUSINESS.)Anyway, this post isn't about that. I was surfing the net reading

And the the thing I don't like most is not being able to be there for MY family at the drop of a hat.My mom's going to have surgery tomorrow. Buang uterus ~ ada cysts and fibroids.
