Back on the train

It's June and it's been too long and I feel like I shouldn't been blogging at all. Haha. Truthfully, during confinement period I have so much time but so little will to log in and blog. I would rather spend the time browsing oh so many cute and pretty clothes for babies online. I shop and shop and just about everyday the Pos Laju van would appear at my parent's doorstep. This obsession includes my sister too and I feel that the postman didn't need to read the address anymore. He'll just have a first look at our name and already knows to which house it is. Also I've been spending more time on Instagram which I should add is sooo addictive. Plus it's just way too easy to take photos and share them there.

Most of my time was also spent on staring at my cute bundle of joy endlessly. I could just spend the whole day looking at her and not doing anything. Nothing at all..hmm..hmm (humming Bruno Mars's) It's amazing how much affection and love you could feel for another human being. Sometimes I feel like my heart could burst with all this love I have for her.

Apart from that, so many new things are happening in my life at the moment. Both me and hubby got promoted which means we have to pack and move. Move to a new state, a new house and new hospital. All of which happens right after my confinement ended. And remember, there's a third person moving along with us. Overall it feels like a new begining. So imagine how hectic and chaos our life was at that time. Alhamdulillah, together we managed to pull it off.

I was utterly nervous the first time I left my baby at the nursery. I cried even wishing I wouldn't have to. Wishing that I could look after her myself. It was just unfair to have a complete stranger feeding her, changing her nappies and cuddling her to sleep. Maybe one day I'll have the option to quit and be a fulltime housewife. But still having an income at the same time. The keyword is maybe. So we'll see.

So what's new about my princess? I would say there's not a day that passed by without any new things I learn about her or from her. She reached 6 months old last week. She gurgles, she grabs, she laughs and she smiles. Oh, how sweetly she smiles. Melts my heart everytime.

So here I am, back on the train again. Hop on and thank you for reading my journey.

Hello. I am the princess she's talking about. My name is Amina Zahra, 6month and 1week old. Loves to grab ummi's face and squeeze it with all my might. I also love to bite everything that I could grab. My favourite is the tv remote control. Ummi will go beserk everytime I bite into things. She's really obsessive about protecting me from bacterias, viruses, insects, bugs, infections, so on and so on. More so after I had bilateral herniotomy, attack of fit, and later developed fever and thrush. *Sigh* She will tell you the detailed story later I guess.

Ok Amina, time to pen off. Say 'see ya!' :)

On a whole new experience of Ramadhan

It is a new feel of Ramadhan this time around for me. For starter, I'm celebrating it as a wife. Then of course, I am with a baby. Seriously, I am so nervous about fasting during pregnancy. But Alhamdulillah, so far everything has been good. Except just that one day where I literally went so 'lembik' and could just lie down or else I'll collapse while waiting to break the fast at my MIL house.

I am entering 23rd week already and I am so thankful that the fasting month is during my second trimester. Not just the traumatic morning sickness of first trimester that I am worried about. But it is better now that the baby is much stronger and well past the dangerous zone of development. Now is just the time for the baby to grow in size. Ooh, did I mention that he/she is already jiggling around in there. It was quite confusing the first time I feel the movement. I thought it was just gas in my stomach. But then I lift up my shirt and saw my tummy move like something is bouncing inside! Couldn't be gas then. Hehe.

After that I am more alert as to when the baby moves. It was really exciting to feel the tiny fluttering or most of the time 'bouncing' in there. Sometimes I kind of get jolted in my seat because it's so ticklish and I feel like laughing out loud. And boy, laugh I did when I am in the privacy of our home. I love sharing it with hubby too. He will put his hand on my tummy and go 'Hah!' everytime this little one bounce. Remember how jealous I am of him during the first scan? Well now he is the one super jealous of me because I get to be with the bouncing baby 24/7. Ha!

Most of iftar and suhoor was spent at my mother's house or going back to in laws over the weekend. But last weekend was solely spent at our home. Thus, I get to be creative and in charge of the menu. I love weekend to try on new recipes coz it's more relaxing than to rush preparing meals after work. So few days ago, I stumble upon this blog with yummy recipes and decided to try one. The recipe was Mi Kari Nyonya and it was such a delightful success that I just had to share it here. So feel free to try it if you're a fan of curry mee. I sure am one. I have to say I made the decision to cook it just by looking at the yummy pictures. Heh.

I did tweak the recipe a bit in the condiments part. Instead of prawns and chicken, I put in cockles, fishball and fried tofu only. Also boiled egg and sawi celur (choy sum) (What's sawi called in english anyway?) Being a fan of curry mee, I seriously feel that cockles is still the best condiment to eat it with. Plus I pounded the onions instead of using blender coz I feel it will give the flavor more. This recipe makes enough for two person and if you like it spicy, just add 1 to 2 tablespoon more of blended chilli. The amount suggested in the recipe is barely spicy. At least for me. I'm obsessed with chillies! 

Mi kari nyonya anyone?

It's been 2 months. Ya, I know.

Oh my, it's been more than 2 months. So, where do I start this blog again?

I have a very good reason. Seriously I do. Maybe not enough to justify the 2 months gap though. But I feel otherwise. You see, I'm pregnant. 13 weeks and 5 days to be exact. Well past my first trimester now. Wow, I still can't believe it sometimes. Can I say it one more time again? I'm pregnant! Weee.

So, I'm one of the unlucky preggers who had the attack of morning sickness. I'm telling you it's brutal. Food became such an enemy to me and I absolutely ran out of things that I could eat or could even smell. Almost everything I ate will be vomited again. Such suffering for me, once the food-lover. But if I don't eat anything, this empty stomach will grumble and I'll feel sick coz it's filled with air and I get nauseous and throw up again. Only it's worse, because there's nothing to throw up but only air and some water from my stomach which tasted so bitter. Yuck.

Let me tell you one thing. Morning sickness is totally a wrong term. I'm fine in the morning. I don't throw up in the morning. I'm capable of doing my work at the clinic and have at least a light breakfast. I can eat biscuits with milo or vico. Sometimes good old bread slab with butter and kaya. It should be termed evening sickness instead because that's when it'll all start. I will arrive home in the evening feeling all weak and with such a headache. I become so weak that even performing asar prayer is difficult. Required every ounce of energy I have left. Then I'll collapse waiting for Fazrul to come home. Plus the hot weather doesn't help at all.

So I'm really not bothered to go online let alone to write in this blog. All I care about is to rest and sleep whenever I can. This past 2 months has been very challenging not just to me but Fazrul as well. God knows how patient and loving he has been with me. But Alhamdulillah, after the first trimester now the 'evening sickness' seems to subside. At least now I'm able to enjoy my favourite nasi lemak in the morning. Plus I don't vomit as much as before. The list of able-to-consume-without-smelling-weird foods has increases as well. Now I need to pick up healthy eating and gain the proper weight. Since becoming pregnant, my weight has dropped down instead despite the growing baby. Please pray for me and the baby dear kind readers eh.

I have few pending orders for crochet items as well. Have to send out an apology message for the delay to my friends soon. Eek. But right now, there's just so many blog to catch up and read. Bring it on!

On a husband's love

Yesterday I was fasting to make up for last year's Ramadhan (which was incomplete due to woman's matter mind you). So being a sweet husband, Fazrul fast along as well. It was our first time fasting together and though it may sound like nothing special, it does felt special to us.

I'm just touched that he accompany me fasting. In fact he's the one who woke up in the wee hour before Subuh and patiently try to wake this sleepyhead for suhoor. He fetch the water and some chocolate cake. While his sleepy wife groggily slumped on the daybed. All day I thought how lucky I am to marry this man.



Sayang, I love you



Round and cute. (Sayang, remember I love you =p)

Last week on wednesday and thursday night, we stayed at my parents' because my father was having a cataract operation. We went back to our home friday at late night and I fall asleep in the car (seriously sleepyhead =p). When we arrived, he opened the gate and front door lock but didn't went inside and linger in the car beside me. I was sleepy and did felt weird at his behaviour but I just shrug it off and saunter dreamily inside the house.

I switched on the light and thought 'Wow, the house is weirdly tidy'. Then my eyes popped open because indeed it is tidier than before and on the coffee table lay the sweetest surprise ever.



Turns out that he stopped by our house after work before going to my parent's house to fetch me where I was. He tidy up the house since we're going to Seremban on saturday and his parents might come on sunday and I was complaining that I could not find the time to organize everything before his parents come visit. Awww, I melt there and then.



My husband was full of surprises last week. He mentioned taking me somewhere on the way to Seremban and I begged him to spill because I couldn't wait to know. So he brought me to the shoe festival at PWTC. Can you believe it? He's like a woman's mind reader or something. He never fails to please me.



Never mind that the festival is not entirely up to my expectation. Seriously what is Jukebox doing there? Still I got a new pair of cute peep toe as a treat. Not Zang Toi la, somehow his shoes doen't appeal to me.



Santa Barbara Polo at 50% off. Sweet.

I'm just sharing this to say that how nice it is to be cared and loved by someone. How love can be expressed in simple ways even as simple as fasting together. How the exhaustive mind and body after a day's work is somehow rejuvenated upon seeing your other half at the end of the day. How great it is to know that someone appreciate you and accept you just the way you are. How you love to do everything together. How you would do anything to make him happy and how peaceful it feels to look into his loving eyes. I never understood this until I got married. I couldn't thank Him enough for granting me this love.

Thank you Allah. For a husband's love.

The last week

This could probably be the last week we're staying at my parents' before we moved in to our rented house. As sad as I am to leave the cozy nest, I look forward to live together with my husband and build another cozy nest. With that said, I'm so grateful that at least I got to spend the last 4 years with my family at my hometown. I've been away for 13 years. Boarding school, matriculation, uni, then 1st posting when joining gov. How sweet it was when I got to transfer back to work here. My mom also pampered me sometimes, preparing fabulous breakfast pack every morning until I became the envy of my colleagues. It's like she's trying to make it up for the absence years.



Yeah, the curtains is still halfway done. Lazy me. I'm planning to buy my very own sewing machine someday though. I'd love to have those antique looking machine with the wheel as pedal. Very classic and so makcik-makcik. But sooo adorable. Makes a good exercise machine for the calf too. Hee.



My mom's sewing machine has the wheel too. But it's not functioning anymore. Just the motor pedal which also had been replaced a few times already. This babe has provided such excellence service to us. It has created many clothes and curtains, baju kurung, skirts, cushions, a baju kelawar (Which is my first sewing project at the age of 12 using the cloth my mother meant to make herself a baju kurung. Hihi. I was home alone and bored and I dug in her stash of cloth. How furious she was when she got home that evening)







Last weekend at Ikea was fun. This time the purpose of shopping is clear. To furnish our home. Last time I just gaze dreamily and oohs and aahs at the beauties. So one of the reason I can't wait to move in the house. To assemble the things we bought! Wee.







This could probably be the last week too for my father wearing the cast. It's almost 2 months now since the fall. Last x-ray early this month showed that the wrist fracture has healed well (The radius and ulna was all dislodged forward to the carpal bones. Ouch!). Just need a few extra weeks to be cautious. So we'll see about it this monday. He's been so compliant drinking milk now that it's almost funny to watch. He's such an anti-milk person before.

Hey, this is the last week of March too. Fits the title. Hehe. Till then peeps!

Overwhelmed me

The consistency of me blogging is seriously fluctuating. One month I'm active (is five entries per month considered active? LOL) while the next isn't. I know I have things to say. Everytime I would think 'Ooh, I'll blog about this', 'Ooh, this is interesting to share'. But everytime it's left as just thoughts in my head. It might have to do with the fact that I'm an easily overwhelmed person. Overwhelmed with the things and projects I planned to do, not with feelings mind you. Seriously I have so many exciting things awaiting and to do but seriously I'm always running to keep up with time (Seriously, do I sound like Meredith Grey now?)

Last weekend me and hubby, and sist and her hubby, and my older sist, we went to Maher Zain's concert. Again?! Yes, such fanatic I am. And to prove how fanatic I could be, it was on the same day me and hubby had a course in Ipoh until 5 pm. Changing clothes and getting to the car, bla bla, we leave Ipoh exactly at 6pm hoping to reach Shah Alam by 8.30pm. And we did, more like he did. I was practically dozing off in the madly fast car. Alas, we did enjoy the concert in the beginning until towards the end we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore. We slept snugly the last few songs. Seriously, we were damn tired. And we still need to return to Ipoh the same night because the eye course continues the next morning. See how madly fanatic we are?

From our seats, this is the best picture I could take.

Then..

He's just too cute.

Fazrul boldly went front stage and took these awesome pictures. Brilliant!

I've finished my first baby beanie few days ago. Phew, finally after a long break from crocheting. But I couldn't find any model around. All my friend's kids is either a boy or have grown bigger. Hence, it'll just be Miss Pingu's nest then for now. Hehe.

Then, the yarns I ordered arrived early this week. Yeay! In no jiffy I whip up a crochet cap for Fazrul. I finished it yesterday and he loves it. There's no picture taken to post here yet but probably we'll have a photoshoot tomorrow. Hehe.

Yummy yarns

Isn't the smell of weekend awesomely great? Tomorrow we have a checklist of movies to tick off at the cinema. Plus, we'll start moving things into our new rented house too. Ah, our own little love nest.

It is hard to understand addiction unless you have experienced it.

~Ken Hensley

Do you know how addictive Twisties is? Yeah, I'm talking about the curly-squiggly-worm-like crunchy yummy . Whenever I had the craving for it, there's no hesitation in dragging my *ss to the nearest store. My favourite flavour has to be curry and cheese. Yummy.

Do you know how addictive Space Shot is? Yeah, it's the ride at the outdoor theme park of Genting Highland that I'm talking about. I squirmed in my seat at the very last second on top and cursed myself over and over the first second it drops down but I find myself eagerly queuing back in line for a second ride immediately after.

Do you know how addictive watching a movie at the cinema is? Especially a really really good movie. An awesome picture quality and sound is all I need. I could totally get absorbed with the movie and oblivious to my surroundings. It's just me and the story.

But then, do you know how addictive watching a movie at the cinema with your other half is? 2 in 1 addiction. Definitely one of my favourite activity.

Do you know how addictive watching AFC Ch703 is? I could totally be a couch potato all day long feasting my eyes with the cooking, recipes, foods around the world, beautiful kitchens, and great chefs. Oh my, I wish to adorn my OWN kitchen and cook and bake to my delight.

Do you know how addictive reading blogs is? Most of the time I do not know the blogger in person. It could be their awesome life or their out of ordinary life. It could also be just their simple everyday life but with that something that couldn't be point out. The humour or the way of writing or the unique style of story telling. It got me hooked.

Do you know how addictive watching hindi movies is? Yeah I'm not ashamed to admit that I love hindi movies. I've been watching it since I was a kid, and that has made hindi language not a foreign for me. I could understand the dialogue without translation. I could even point out the mistakes made in translation by local tv station. Hehe. There's various things to love about hindi movies. Some with powerful stories, great acting, superb cinematography, beautiful songs, heart wrenching scenes, lovely romantic scenes or hunky heroes with gorgeous actress. There's great non-commercial indie films too. You have to be a fan to know what I'm talking about. Not a fan of love songs and dance? Try Black or Taare Zameen Par. I bet you'll have a different view on hindi film afterwards. But I don't favor the 'modern' western wannabe movies. Too much flesh showing and unnecessary censored scenes. Urgh.

Should I even begin on the addiction of reading?

Lots of things could be addictive to us. We couldn't expect other people to understand them. These are just a few of mine. I wonder what yours are?

Phew, hectic week it is. Full clinic on Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday was spent at Ipoh scouring last minute things for my sister's wedding. Only today the clinic seems to slow down a bit. Heck, I spoke too early. The patient's cards is just flowing in now. Guess this will be a quick entry then. Oh, did I mention that my youngest dearest 'busyuk' sister is getting married in one week?

The next few weeks will see me tripping back and forth from Taiping to Seremban to Kuala Lumpur and to Seremban again. Why? Because my sister and his sister decides to get married together. Well, not 'together' in term of word. It's together in this particular month of this particular year. The 'kenduris' will take place every weekend of December until early January. So it's not only the brides who spend the bulk of money getting married, Fazrul and me will also burn a hole in our pockets paying for his flight tickets. Haha!

But the situation makes it a really good fate to be meeting my husband again and again. In fact, I'll be heading to Seremban tonight with him too arriving from Kuching. Oh, be still my heart till you lay eyes on your love :) 

The first meal

Oleh kerana saya dan Fazrul masih duduk berjauhan, saya belum pernah berpeluang betul-betul memasak sepenuhnya hidangan lengkap untuk santapan suami saya. Bila di rumah sendiri selalunya bekerjasama dengan mak. Bila di rumah mertua pula mestilah bukan tukang masak dominan juga. Bekerjasama dengan ibu mertuaku pula. Rasanya peringkat awal ini tidak sesuai pula kalau saya take over dapur kan. Tak senang duduk ibu mertuaku nanti menantu sorang-sorang kerjakan dapur dia. Haha.

Semasa bertandang ke Kuching tempoh hari, kami menetap di homestay yang boleh kata lengkap perkakas dapurnya. Saya akhirnya berpeluang mengerjakan dapur secara dominan demi suami dan sesuap nasi (Huh?). Pagi-pagi ahad pergi pasar pagi untuk beli barang mentah. Dari malam sebelumnya dah pening berangan nak masak apa. Mungkin terlebih excited juga. Tema ialah makanan laut. Seronok juga pasar Kuching ini. Boleh tengok apa produk kampung tempatan. Gamat mentah-mentah pun ada jual. Ikan terubuk jangan cakap la. Tomato pula pelik sikit. Agak kecil dan kurang bulat. Lagi ada sayur pelik apa namanya saya tidak ingat dah. Akhirnya beli udang galah 2 ekor, udang sederhana setengah kilo, ikan bawal 2 ekor, kubis bunga, batang saleri, cendawan tiram, sayur kailan dan ikan masin jeruk. Apa menunya?

Adakah sama besar tapak tangan saya?

                                        Udang galah sedang galak dibakar.

Saya seronok hendak cerita percubaan menu di bawah ini. Antara makanan kegemaran Fazrul. Seronok sangat sebab kali ini jadi. Pertama kali cuba di rumah emak tidak berapa jadi bentuk bebenangnya namun rasa sudah mantap. Kali ini cuba sampai jaya. Hehe. 

Nyum nyum butter prawn. Er, bahagian atas itu agak garing sedikit. Tapi apapun rasa dia memang best. Terima kasih kepada kawan saya Ayin. Saya belajar dari blog dia lah. Cuba la jenguk. Gambar-gambar makanan dia sentiasa menggugat jiwa. Hehe.

Dekorasi cili bagai itu oleh Fazrul. Rajin eh :) Suami saya boleh tahan juga bab memasak ni. Dia la tukang masak tak berbayar di rumah sewa dengan rakan-rakan bujangnya.

Menu: Butter prawn, ikan bawal goreng halia dan bawang putih, kailan ikan masin, udang galah bakar. Kami bersantap penuh selera.

Eh, tadi kata beli kubis bunga, saleri dan cendawan tiram? Oh, itu saya buat rencah nasi goreng tomyam. Sarapan keesokkan harinya. Marvellous!

Seronoknya masak untuk suami dan masak-masak bersama suami. Saya harap tidak lama lagi akan dapat berita gembira tentang pertukaran tempat kerja suami. Saya boleh saja ke Sarawak tapi tiada posting pula. Dilema penjawat awam. Huuu.

Ber'iPhone' di Sabah

Testing. Testing. I so love this phone. The aps are really cool and we could spend hours just playing an 'Angry birds' game. Hehe. We just got us both the iPhone 4 and it's about time really. I've been using an old Samsung, for the past 5 years. It's only rm200 and now you can imagine the tackyness of the phone. Much like 3310 nokia. Mind you it has served me really well but it's just time to upgrade. I rarely splurge on gadgets so this time I might as well go for the best and I know I'll be using it for a long time.





Waiting the transit flight to Bintulu.

Marvellous seafood at waterfront.

All these photos were taken with iPhone. Perfect, for me. I love it that now I can blog and post picts from anywhere and at anytime! Provided there's internet line lah ;P

Of foods in Kuching

Among the things I love about Kuching is the local delicacies. Last time I had the yummiest mi kolok in town. It's at Kopi O Corner near Satok. I was really looking forward to another round of it on this trip but the restaurant was closed for renovation. Aiseh. So we search for the yummiest laksa sarawak in town instead.

Damn good! Definitely the most delicious I've tasted so far.

A bowl of 'laksa sarawak special' includes bigger prawn. Squeeze the lime and dip the sambal. Pergh, the taste is simply superb.

If you ever come to Kuching, head to Patingan. Just a small distance past Satok market, make a u-turn under the fly over and turn left at Petronas. Head on straight and find this home-based eatery on your right. Oh, JJCM has been here too.

With fully satisfied stomach, we head on to Digi Centre for an errand. Then we drive to Lundu for a programme that Fazrul and his housemates were organizing. To be specific it has something to do with extreme motor sports. But that story could wait later.

Later that night and I mean really-really late, we went to satisfy the craving for ayam penyet next. We got lost on the way back from Lundu and was simply starving.

Snap! Iphone 4, we love you ;)

Looking at this picture makes me salivating again. Yummeh. There's a few version of ayam penyet and last time I had the fried one at Raja Ayam Penyet. This time Fazrul brought me here where the chicken is grilled instead of fried and OMG! Perfectly grilled with perfect sauce and perfect sambal. Now I'm begging Fazrul to dine here again before I go home. Hee.

So, head on there! At My Village Barok, just across the river from Waterfront Kuching. You can either drive there or simply take the boat or sampan from waterfront. It's just a little walking distance from the jetty after that.

Now we've just arrived at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. It's raining and we're stuck in the hotel. But that won't dampen my will to hunt for the yummiest food here next. Ciao!

Honeymoon unlimited

Olo! (You'd understand this if you've watched Megamind ;P) I'm currently at Kuching on a one week leave having an oh-so-exciting holiday with my husband. It's a month after our wedding and time seems to move slowly with him around. We're languorously enjoying this moment together.

I arrived on Friday straight from Penang. My man works here and Deepavali is not a public holiday here. So the evening after I arrived he held a small high tea for his colleagues at the clinic. And we got more wedding presents!

I've just realized that I'm a bad documenter. So many things have been happening in my life and some just pass away without words as memory. There are photos, yes. But with words we'll get the whole picture. Heck, I've been as far as New Zealand and I didn't have a proper journal on it. What a waste. I am determined more than ever now to jot down all the experience, memories, excitement, and the ups and downs life has to offer me. I wish to do this so that one day when I'm old and all shriveling but still acceptably pretty, while sipping lemon tea in my garden, I'd get to reminisce my life with my old and all shriveling but still handsome husband by my side.

I eat merely to put food out of my mind

~N.F. Simpson

Kelmarin kepingin burger tepi jalan. Tapi hampa sebab ronda-ronda lepas kerja satu gerai pun belum buka lagi. I don't know why tapi burger tepi jalan adalah sangat appealing bagi saya. Sedap dia lain ooo *drool*. Jadi semalam terus beli roti burger dan daging burger. Susah sangat aku buat sendiri je la. Pagi tadi gigih bangun awal buat burger. Wah, selalunya bangun tidur terus rushing hendak pergi kerja saja. Bangga betul hari ini makan breakfast hasil air tangan sendiri kat pantry klinik. Hee.

I like to eat. Amat sangat. I'm not choosy as well. Selagi halal saya suka cuba makan. If I like it then I'll really savour it. Fortunately, my husband pun sama. So, aktiviti kegemaran kami sambil jalan-jalan ialah makan. Buat apa pun mesti hendak makan. Terima kasih Ya Allah kerana kurniakan kepada hamba Mu nikmat makan.

People say I'm petite. Maybe now but not many people know that I've had an episode of chubbiness before and not to say overweight but certainly not an ideal weight for my height. At that time I was working in Temerloh. Eating outside is quite expensive so we cooked everyday. My housemate was a dietitian but she herself is a big eater. Hari-hari masak nasi without fail. Plus we're really good cook. Ehem. My regret was that I wasn't active physically compared to my student days. Also I'm not aware of my own increasing weight. I guess I'm too absorbed by how petite I am as people said. I became ignorant that however petite you are but when you eat more than what you need, you will become gemuk as well! Saya cuma tersedar bila satu hari di satu seminar kawan-kawan kolej yang lama tidak jumpa semuanya mencubit, meramas pipi dan lengan saya kerana geram dengan chubbiness saya. I was shocked literally.

Nowadays I watch what I eat especially carbs. Oleh kerana saya suka makan, saya kena cari jalan supaya dapat makan tapi dapat kawal berat badan. Usually I eat less on weekdays because it's easier to hold my appetite when I'm at work. Petang balik kerja pun jarang makan nasi. Lunch everyday is nasi seciput atau separuh, meat etc dan sayur banyak-banyak. Kadang-kadang tak makan nasi ganti dengan sup atau tomyam. Just to keep my tummy full. Jadi taktik saya ialah kurang makan pada hari kerja tapi enjoy makan pada weekends dan bila keluar dating dengan suami. So far masih berjaya.
