Finally

Assalamualaikum wbt

The keys are already in my hand. Yes, the keys to our new home.
Can't wait for the next phase : renovating/painting the wall/decorating and... moving in!!
(As soon as we got the keys, we immediately went to IKEA. Just to get some ideas on how to decorate and furnish our house. Most importantly, need to be super detail about..budgetting!!)

the surreal feeling was so overwhelming =)

Duit emas

Assalamualaikum wbt

Duit emas pernah digunakan suatu masa dahulu. Zaman muda mudi dulu pun dah ada duit emas..hehe ingat lagi x dengan syiling 1 ringgit?

duit syiling RM 1 (tinggal kenangan)

Sekarang duit emas sudah kembali. hehe
Mula-mula terperanjat juga sbb berat syiling terbaru tidak seberat syiling terdahulu. 

Nilai pun berbeza, 20 dan 50 sen.

terbaru dan terkini

Nanti bila masuk musim budak-budak datang beraya, bg duit syiling emas ni jer la ok x? Kumpul duit emas banyak-banyak, lama-lama tinggi la nilainya! (ok, ini hanyalah tips 101 untuk siapa yang rasa nak berjimat..hehehe)

Thank you kak Ita

Assalamualaikum wbt

 

                                                                  

    Recently, Kak ita (a colleague in SEGAR), introduced me to this book entitled : Panduan Pemakanan anak sihat dan pintar.  Frankly speaking, I've just flipped through few pages and haven't read through everything yet. However, based on my first impression, this is another must have book not just for a first time parents, but also to those who have the concern of providing healthy food for their children.  Since the book was published in 2006, I can't really tell you where it can be found. It's actually a compilation of recipes for the past few years all in this 210 pages magazine. The recipes were taken from Pa&Ma magazines . I borrowed this book from kak Ita and hopefully I can 'khatam' it in these coming few weeks or photostate the whole thing!(I know it's unethical but is there any way to get this book?).

                                What's so special about this is book?

70 healthy and nutritious recipes are all in a book!

step by step guide for beginner

Recipes are arranged according to your child's growth

Informative and useful knowledge for all

                        Besides reading this book, information about healthy food is also available online. It depends on our personal preferences too. Some prefer to have a hard copy version, some prefer to download / copy and paste it straight away from the net. Once again, thanks Kak Ita for introducing me to this book.

                          

                            I've started shopping for baby stuffs. Maybe, a new apron is another must have item to put on my Checklist ;) heheh

Khasiat buah kurma untuk semua

Assalamualaikum wbt,

When I was young, I disliked dates or kurma. Mak always reminded me to eat at least a small piece of kurma when we break fast especially during the fasting month of Ramadhan. During that time, the temptation of gobbling other foods was so high that kurma was never be on the list! Kalau boleh rase macam nak sorok je bekas kurma supaya boleh berbuka dengan makanan yang lain (ABC, air tebu, air kathira dan lain-lain!!) Did I mention that this only happened when I was young? Ahaks, yes, I did :-)

 

kuih muih beraneka warna & jenis

VS

Buah kurma

Kurma gives so much benefits for those who love it. Dr. Marsita (the gynea that I currently see for my regular antenatal check up) advised me to eat at least 7 pieces of kurma everyday. This is essential to keep my hemoglobin level at the optimum level (besides eating green veggies and drinking fresh milk  2 times daily).

In one of the books I read : Diari Hamil , I've learnt a lot on how kurma turns out to be the best snack for pregnant women.

Dari sudut kesihatan: 
*Kurma mencegah penyakit kronik sperti jantung dan kencing manis.
*Kurma merangsang dan memudahkan kehamilan. Ia mampu memanaskan badan dan merangsang kesihatan wanita hamil dan anak yang di kandung.

Dari sudut kecerdasan dan kecergasan:

* Kurma membantu dalam kecerdasan minda dan membantu proses tumbesaran. Menurut pakar, kanak-kanak digalakkan memakan lebih banyak buah kurma kerana ia memberi khasiat dari segi proses pembesaran, sekaligus membentuk minda kanak-kanak yang sihat

* Dalam firman Allah di dalam surah Maryam, Allah telah memerintahkan Sayidatina Maryam memakan buah kurma agar beliau mendapat bekalan tenaga untuk melahirkan Nabi Isa a.s dan sentiasa bertenaga setelah melahirkan Nabi Isa a.s, disebabkan beliau kehilangan tenaga dan darah yang banyak. Ini kerana kurma mampu membekal tenaga dengan pantas ke dalam tubuh mereka yang memakannya.

Dari sudut keperibadiaan:
*Kurma membentuk sifat penyabar, bersopan santun dan cerdas pemikiran
Maksud hadis Rasulullah SAW:
"Berilah makan buah kurma kepada isteri kamu yang hamil, keranan sekiranya wanita hamil itu memakan buah kurma, nescaya anak yang bakal dilahirkan itu, menjadi anak yang penyabar, bersopan santun serta cerdas pemikirannya" 

Dari sudut keberkatan:
*Mangambil berkat sewaktu kelahiran
Diriwayatkan daripada Abu Musa r.a katanya:
"Anakku lahir, lalu aku membawanya kepada Nabi SAW lalu Baginda menamakannya dengan nama IBrahim dan meletakkan pada lelangitnya dengan buah kurma" 

*Makanan yang paling sempurna
Maksud sabda Rasulullah SAW:
"Rumah yang tiada kurma nescaya penghuninya kelaparan" 

InsyaAllah, I'll try to make sure to have plenty of kurma in my house. Everyone can eat it anytime they want. Alhamdulillah, after mak and abah balik haji baru-baru ini dapat berpeluang makan kurma nabi. Subhanallah, beruntungnya sesiapa yang dapat makan kurma nabi hari-hari! Tapi, tidak semestinya kena makan specific kurma jer, mana2 kurma yang berada di pasaran pun ok dan tiada masalah. Dan yang paling penting, perlu kita ubah cara pemikiran sesetengah orang yang menyangka kurma hanya relevan di bulan Ramadhan. Anak-anak kecil boleh diasuh supaya menyukai kurma semenjak kecil lagi. Hopefully, the information about kurma above give some insights for us to eat and live healthily, InsyaAllah :-)

Chef Mummy Brella: your chef at home .

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Nak di kata cekap sangat masak, rasanya masih jauh lagi la tahap ke pertandingan Masterchef Malaysia. Tapi, kalau balik ke rumah mentua gerenti kena cuba jaya pelbagai kaedah memasak. Kebiasaannya, di rumah sendiri masakan utama semestinya samada ayam,daging atau telur. Walau bagaimanapun, di rumah mentua pula, setiap hari ada segala jenis hidangan yang berunsur ikan! Pak mentua memang cekap bab-bab jenis ikan ni (unlike me..owh huhuh). Mujurla, pak mentua tak cerewet and tidak lokek ilmu untuk diperturunkan kepada menantunya ini. Thnk you, abah Man!

So baru-baru ini, bila abah Man balik dari pasar dia request supaya masak ketam (ketam pula?? dup dup dup). Memang pernah masak ketam, tapi untuk hidangan makan ramai-ramai belum cukup mantap lagi laaaaa. Dengan bantuan adik ipar, Amal, misi memasak ketam bersambal disaluti telur diteruskan...
Let's look at Mummy Brella's version of ketam bersambal di saluti telur..

Ketam yang telah dibersihkan di goreng dengan kunyit dan garam

Masak sambal tumis. Make sure, cili yang ditumis dibiarkan seketika sehingga pecah minyak, masukkan air asam, gula dan garam secukup rasa.

Gaulkan ketam yang telah digoreng dengan sambal tumis buat sehingga rata dan sebati (sorry, the picture is a bit senget)

Another version of gambar senget! Pecahkan sebiji telur dan gaulkan bersama-sama dengan ketam

Siap untuk dihidang!

So far, memang puas hati dengan hidangan kali ini. Mujurlah dapat dipraktikkan beberapa tips yang telah diperturunkan oleh bonda sendiri. Cabaran apa pula yang menanti selepas ini yer?? Kita tunggu dan lihat ;)

the best cendol in Kedah

 Assalamualaikum wbt

Have you ever craved for cendol so much? So far, have you found the one that satisfied your taste bud? Do you know where to get the best cendol in town? Have you heard about Jo Cendol Pulut in Hosba near Changlun, Kedah?

the place is situated near SMK Hosba, Changlun. If you take the PLUS highway, the journey will only take about 20 minute drive.

               

          full house!!

This place is quite famous especially among the locals. My hubby and in-laws recommended this place as they said the cendol here is superb! Undeniably, the cendol (cendol biasa, cendol pulut and cendol pulut special) are simply irresistible.

the famous tree: Cendol pulut, cendol biasa & cendol pulut special. nyummy!!

Not just cendol, Jo Cendol Pulut offers other types of dishes too. You can get any kind of masakan panas here such as....

 

Mee rebus

       sedddaaaaapppPPP!!!

Amal had moi sup and abah had mee rebus too!
everyone was having feel good time :)

I had cendul pulut special and kuew teow goreng basah *smile*

cucur udang or as the orang utara said cuco'

Moi sup

Although the place was pack, the efficient workers made us left the place with a big smile and full tummy!! In fact, we only waited for about 10-15 minutes for the food to arrive!! Hurray! My lil one in the tummy seemed to be happy too as he kept moving excitedly while I was enjoying the food :-)  Nevertheless , I do realize about the santan, sugar / gula melaka and all the things in a bowl of cendol. It's important to eat everything moderately not excessively! eceycehhh..ok la tu kan??? *wink-wink*   

Check up Week 24 : Pencarian yang membuahkan hasil!

                                                           Assalamualaikum wbt.

        Untuk entry kali ini, saya nak berkongsi mengenai kisah menarik yang berlaku sewaktu check up untuk minggu ke 24  (approximately 6 months insyaAllah).

          Sebelum tu, untuk pengetahuan semua saya telah pergi ke pelbagai tempat untuk melakukan antenatal check up. Antara tempat-tempat yang telah dikunjungi ialah  Hospital Pantai Ampang Puteri di Kuala Lumpur, Klinik Seri Indah di Batu Caves dan Pusat Pakar Wanita Medina di Taman Melawati. First official check up yang dibuat ialah di Hospital Ampang Puteri. Pada mulanya, saya dan hubby memang berharap akan mendapat layanan yang sewajarnya utk check up yang pertama ni (sebab time tu ade masalah kulit yang agak serius, naik gatal2 satu badan). Tapi malangnya, setelah lama menunggu giliran walaupun telah membuat temujanji (almost 2 hours), baru dapat consultation dengan doktor (nama dirahsiakan) yg berkenaan. Tempoh consultation tidak lebih dari 20 minutes dan saya diminta refer kepada dermatologist  untuk skin allergy and terus kena ambil darah sehingga tinggal kesan bengkak di tangan. Allah sahaja tahu bagaimana perasaan saya dan hubby pada ketika itu. For a first time parents like us, we were quite frustrated and not satisfied with the treatment.  Terasa seperti dilayan ibarat kad Touch n  Go. Kos untuk 1st time check up = consultation fee + scan + ambil darah +  vitamin and ubat were nearly RM 400. Mungkin ada yang berpendapat harga sebegini adalah standard bagi mana-mana hospital KPJ, dan ini merupakan first check up. Masalahnya sekarang, adakah berbaloi bayaran sebanyak itu dengan layanan tidak seberapa yang diterima? Sesungguhnya perkara ini benar-benar menguji kesabaran kami....
        
         After two days, saya dan hubby buat keputusan untuk pergi ke Klinik Seri Indah di  Batu Caves for another check up. Apa yang saya betul-betul perlukan pada ketika itu hanyalah seorang doktor yang serasi yang dapat memberi saya bimbingan dan panduan sepanjang tempoh 9 bulan kehamilan. Klinik Seri Indah mempunyai beberapa cawangan di area Gombak dan Selangor. Selain daripada lokasinya yang berhampiran dengan rumah, klinik ini juga menawarkan khidmat untuk antenatal check up cuma tiada kemudahan bersalin disediakan. Doktor-doktor di klinik ini akan keep track with our progress and they will give us the recommendation whether to give birth dekat private or government depending on both mommy and baby's condition. Alhamdulillah, setelah berjumpa dengan salah seorang doktor di situ - Dr. Zulailah, we managed to get some insights utk persediaan / penjagaan ibu dan anak dalam kandungan. Kos untuk consultation dan scan ialah RM 60 (tidak ambil ubat or vitamin sebab dah diberi oleh doktor di Ampang Puteri). So, we've decided to do our regular check up here at this clinic. Tidak perlu risau dengan masalah trafik sebab lokasinya sangat berhampiran dengan rumah. Dari segi keramahan doktornya, saya dan suami cukup berpuas hati.   Untuk regular consultation dengan doktor Zulailah termasuk scan tidak pernah lebih dari RM 70. For every check up, Doktor Zu akan buat pemeriksaan dengan teliti sebagimana dilakukan di klinik kesihatan kerajaan sebab dia pernah berkhidmat di klinik kesihatan ibu mengandung sebelum ini.

           Ok, panjang betul intro sebelum nak masuk kisah check up week 24! As usual, we went to Klinik Seri Indah for the 24th week check up and we have already decided to do 4D scan later at Klinik Pakar Wanita Medina di Taman Melati. Based on my readings about the best time to do 4D scan is from 20th weeks onwards. So, siapa tak berkobar-kobar nak tgk baby dalam versi 4D kan? and some more, you'll get the CD sewaktu scan dilakukan nanti! Unfortunately, my lil baby was really shy to show his face (yes, insyaAllah we'll get a hero for my first child). Doktor jenuh la suruh mommy dia mengiring sekejap ke kiri sekejap ke kanan tapi dia tetap tak nak reveal muka dia. We could only see the pipi,telinga, jari jemari, lengan, kaki and also the sex organ. Puas doktor mencuba dapatla tengok sikit2 mulut n hidungnya (yeay!!). Tapi doktor kata for our next visit, InsyaAllah boleh nampak lebih jelas, so mummy and daddy have to wait for another 4 weeks to see our lil one. But we kind of love the excitement! Maybe baby pon rasa macam nak bagi mommy and daddy lebih teruja sampai dekat-dekat nak bersalin nanti kan. Sepanjang tempoh 4D scan dilakukan, macam-macam gaya bayi boleh dilihat dengan jelas . Sekejap ruku', sekejap hisap jari, sekejap tangan di telinga...heheh aktif betul anak mommy ni!

            Sewaktu di Klinik Pakar Wanita Medina, dengan takdir Allah, kami telah dipertemukan dengan Dr. Marsita binti Mansor. Seorang doktor dari Klinik Seri Indah -Dr. Hazirah,yang mencadangkan doktor ini untuk kami bersalin nanti. Dr. Marsita Mansor meruupakan seorang pakar perbidanan dan sakit puan. She is someone who really takes time to explain things to her patients and make them feel comfortable. Definitely not someone who makes you feel like you are taking up so much of their precious time, just because you ask more than one questions. Furthermore, she's experienced, patient and really shows her care and concern for her patients' well being. A very humble, mother like and simple lady too. Subhanallah, bukan la nak puji melambung tapi semua ini saya dan suami alami sendiri. During the 40 minutes consultation with her, doktor ini menepati segala kriteria doktor bersalin yang kami cari. Kami bukanlah hendak terlalu memilih tetapi setelah perbincangan demi perbincangan dilakukan, saya dan suami sepakat untuk mendapatkan khidmat doktor wanita muslim untuk bersalin nanti. Atas niat itu, pencarian kami selama tempoh 24 minggu telah membuahkan hasil. When we went to her private clinic, the queue was long but definitely worth the time! Allah telah menunjukkan jalan kepada kami dengan mempertemukan kami dengan Doktor Marsita. She did a very detailed scan on me, explaining every single thing about the baby.  I truly feel so relieved to know that my little hero is doing well, alhamdulillah.
             
          InsyaAllah beliau akan menjadi insan penting yang akan menyambut kelahiran putera sulung kami nanti. Kami tetap ingat bahawa kami hanya mampu merancang, Allah yang akan menentukan segalanya. Hopefully, semoga lancarlah segala urusan dari awal hingga akhir nanti, ameen.


 




      

When moms-to-be go shopping

Assalamualaikum wbt

20th Jan 2012 was the last Friday before the 1 week Chinese New Year Holiday and Limah's last day in school before enjoying her 3-month cuti bersalin~ Our main mission on that day was to visit One Baby World in Taman Permata, Kuala Lumpur. The place is like a one stop baby centre. We can get many kinds of baby stuffs all in a place. Limah wanted to do her last minute shopping and I wanted to ..START surveying! Seriously, I was totally clueless of how/when/where to get started!! Hence, the idea of accompanying Limah to the One Baby World store was the perfect time for me to put on my shopping gears- well, not for me, but for my lil one, of course!

getting ready for moms-to-be jalan-jalan

We've arrived safely but.. it's at the 3rd floor *sigh*

worry no more! Nasib baik ade lif.. phew~

kusyuk nyer....
Limah : Nak beli yang mana satu eh? Aviant? Autumz?
Dayah : err...jom tanye promoter kot..hahaha

It was a different kind pleasure to look at baby stuffs. Knowing that you'd need to get them and use them soon truly excites me. As I entered the place, I just followed Limah wherever she went to. She already bought most of the baby stuffs except for things like breast pump, poncho etc.
Shopping has never failed to be one of the best therapy. We managed to get useful info about certain product especially the breast pump : to get the electric pump or the manual one? or, which brand is the best one AVIANT, AUTUMNZ etc? Certainly, it goes back to your personal preference and the budget you have allocated for it.

I bought something...tapi biarlah rahsia dulu buat masa ni ;p

Wajah ceria Limah  after shopping :)

 

Back in school sound and safe~
Gambar kenangan sebelum Limah kembali selepas 3 bulan cuti bersalin!

Thanks Limah for the great time, tho it was not that long coz we had to rush back to school . Somehow, I managed to get some insights about what/when/where to buy baby stuffs.

To Limah:
Selamat bersalin dan bercuti panjaaaaaaang.
Semoga segalanya dipermudahkan, InsyaAllah.

4 ways to boost your energy - during pregnancy

Assalamualaikum wbt

  Do you feel exhausted during your pregnancy?Sometimes I do. At my workplace (in school),  I walk to classes that are situated at different blocks, carry books/ teaching resources, deal with students' indisiciplined behaviour, attending meetings, Koko practice, dealing with the morning sickness (nauseating, vomiting)  and the list goes on. Teachers don't just sit and teach.  There are a lot of TO-DO lists to be completed too. With such routines at some point, fatique and lethargic are simply unavoidable.

                  For this post, I'd like to share ways to boost our energy levels. I've read this somewhere in end last year (2011).  Hopefully, these tips will be beneficial for all working moms-to-be to increase our energy levels and stay happier and healthier. 

         Booster # 1 : FITNESS

1. *Get moving :
   With our doctor permission, make it a habit to engage in physical activity each day. Take a brief walk or perform some stretches while dinner cooks. Taman Layang-Layang in Kepong is one of my favourite place for brisk walking. How about you?
   *Make TV time productive:
   Rather than sitting to watch our favourite tv show, use those 30 minutes for exercise. I prefer to lipat kain while enjoying my TV programme.
   *Make exercise fun:
   Invest in an exercise DVD with music we love. Mr. Hubby can get involved too!
   
   
    Booster 2 # : SLEEP
   The key to maintain energy is getting enough sleep.
   
   
   
   
   Booster 3 # : HEALTHY EATING
   Some examples of good food for preggy moms:
   * Broccoli - great source of beta carotene with Vitamin C to keep u energized.
   *Blueberries - contain protective antioxidants and stimulate the brain
   Along with our food intake, be sure to drink a lot of plenty water. Be wary of caffeinated beverages!  
   
   
   Booster # 4 : PEACE OF MIND
   
   
   * Performing the solat .
   
   * Meditation : Closing the eyes, clearing the mind and focusing on a single image or thought for a few minutes can reduce blood pressure,  boost the immune system and create more energy for the day!
   
   * Take time for you : Being pregnant can be stressful. Feeling tired or extra drained? Take a brief nap to restore expanded energy. Listen to our favourite band/ indulge in good books/ baking. Whatever our pleasure, set aside time to enjoy it.
   
   *Listening to the recitation of Quran helps alot in giving peace of mind. We can get different kinds of CDs with different surahs in many bookstores.
   
   *Take time for our loved ones.
     We and our spouses are in this baby journey. Together make time for him during these busy
     9 months. Sharing a laugh with the one we love can boost our energy and our outlook.

The challenges of the FIRST TRIMESTER

Assalamualaikum wbt

Before I got pregnant, I heard so many things about the so-called ujian/cobaan/dugaan for pregnant women. Frankly speaking, I was not prepared for anything. I believe different people will go through the different challenges no matter how strong or how ready you are. Allah knows best. The situation that He puts us into somehow gives us the strength and courage to prepare ourselves for the real world of parenthood. 

 Kak Kim had diarrhea throughout the 9 months of her pregnancy. Her younger sister, Kak Ima had a terrible morning sickness and became sensitive to her hubby's smell!! Some had allergic to certain food, smell and so many more!! I was quite terrified to witness all these real life examples because I can't imagine how I'd survive if I were to be in their shoes. Nevertheless, we can neither run nor hide from this. There are even some people who had smooth journey during the 9 months period (yes, they are indeed lucky!). As for me? I have my own story for the first trimester of my pregnancy.

sneak peek of the cobaan! 
Bayangkan naik macam ni diseluruh badan??

It started when I was in my 11th  weeks of my pregnancy. In a blink of the eye, I felt one kind of itchiness at the back of my thigh. haaaa..tiada angin tiada ribut! Seriously,I thought there was nothing to worry about. Not long after that, naik bintik-bintik kecil kemerah-merahan. Semakin digaru, semakin asyik dan nikmat! Terasa seperti berada di alam fana di mana nikmat menggaru memberikan rase seperti orang yang mengantuk diberikan pula ubat batuk! Bila badan mula berpeluh, rasa gatal semakin menjadi-jadi. Bintik-bintik sekejap ade sekejap hilang, macam Chipsmore pon yer.  Kalau sejuk sangat pun tak boleh, gatal merenyam bukan main. Kalau diikutkan hati, nak je ambil sikat tajam dan garu satu badan. hurmm Nasib baiklah tak buat macam tu kan.. Lama-kelamaan, kawasan yang sedap digaru semakin merebak sehingga ke seluruh anggota badan!!!! kecuali dibahagian sulit,leher dan...........muka!!! (phew, nasib baik!). Kesannya?? hampir di semua kawasan yang digaru telah meninggalkan kesan yang sgt comot dan ..selekeh.

Persoalan demi persoalan yang tidak berkesudahan dan tidak berjawapan. I even expressed my disappointments and worriness in my facebook wall.  Luckily, I received quite a lot of tips and suggestions from my facebook friend.

ade banyak lagi komen utk post ni, syukur ramai yang sudi membantu & memberi sokongan..thnks to all!

Bila jumpa doktor (doktor biasa & doktor sakit puan), ade yang siap cakap kena kudis buta!!!! Ada cakap pembawakan budak dan ada juga yang nasihatkan suruh jumpa dermatologist .

kesan lebam (lepas ambil darah) dan bintik-bintik halus kesan tanda luka selepas kulit digaru.... :(

Duit keluar macam air! Bayar ubat sana, bayar ubat sini. Kalau nak dikira betul-betul...mungkin dapatla beli beberapa tas beg kulit idaman. owh.. Syukurlah suamiku yang tercinta setia berada di sisi di kala susah dan senang. Tiada tanda keluhan bahkan kata-kata penguat semangat diberi setiap hari semoga diri ini kuat menghadapi dugaan ini. Alhamdulillah ~

Selepas hampir 3 minggu menahan rasa merenyam (sambil mencuba segala jenis krim yg diberi doktor), seorang sahabat , Nurhana (cikgu di SEGAR) mencadangkan bedak antiseptik AGNESIA. Tanpa meletakkan harapan yang tinggi, saya tidak membuang masa dan terus membeli bedak tersebut. Percaya atau tidak, dalam masa 1 malam sahaja segala bintik-bintik gatal surut dan rasa gatal berkurang serta merta! Dalam masa seminggu, kulit bertambah pulih dan kehidupan terasa normal seperti sediakala! No more scratching in public!!!!

The miracle antiseptic talc!!
Harga: RM 5.00!!!!!... *pengsan sebab murah je* hehe

Bagi menghilangkan kesan parut, saya telah menggunakan Bio Oil dan Cocoa Butter Lotion hampir setiap kali selepas mandi. Hasilnya, sangat-sangat memberangsangkan. Walaupun harga minyak dan losyen ini tidak semurah berbanding produk lain, keberkesanannya nyata terbukti. (boleh jadi duta untuk produk-produk ini tak lepas ini??) haha..

sedap mcm bau peanut butter je losyen ni! Beli dekat Guardian Giant Batu Caves time offer. Harga nya...owh dah lupe!

BIO OIL!
Botol kecil dah abes guna, terus beli botol yang bersaiz sederhana.
Kalau bernasib baik boleh dapat dgn harga yang murah di farmasi berdekatan..

selepas menggunakan Bedak Agnesia, BIO OIL dan losyen cocoa butter

tiada lagi bintik-bintik gatal!!

Selain kegatalan yang melanda, morning sickness seperti muntah, mual, loya tetap juga ada. Kadang-kadang bau suami pun boleh menyebabkan segala isi perut terkeluar secara tiba-tiba. Alhamdulillah sekarang segalanya dah beransur pulih. Selera makan bertambah dan tiada muntah-muntah. Pengalaman seperti ini memang tidak dapat nak dijual beli. Segala yang berlaku ada hikmahnya. Berkat kesabaran, doa ibu bapa & mentua di Tanah Suci dan ikhtiar berterusan semestinya telah membuahkan hasil! Kepada suami yang tercinta, terima kasih yang tidak terhingga untuk segala-galanya.

to all preggy moms out there, here is a piece of advice :

When morning sickness hits, remember that..
