Today is my last working day before Raya holiday..this year we gonna go back to Kulim..my hubby’s home..Insyallah balik on next Tuesday after Subuh until Saturday..what’s so special this year as compared to last year?

1. We get 2 new nieces : Aufa Tasneem (now 6 months) & Nurin Darwisyah (now 5 months)..total cucu Tok Wan & Wan now is 6 including Mus’ab


2. We get new sister in law: Hayati..married with hubby’s brother on last June 05


3. Mus’ab can now walking actively and can cooperate will all cousins to play “all mainan cara kampung” eg: masak-masak, tembak-tembak, istana pasir etc


4. I’m pregnant 4 months ++ and start feel the kicking of the baby..so sweet

Special menu
I’ve contacted my MIL..we have decided to cook our special menu :

1. Laksa Utara-wajib ni--my MIL menu


2. Soto ayam & kuah kacang—my menu. For kuah kacang jd lebih ‘terangkat’ my bos said to put buah keras..and she already bought for me..Thanks boss!!


3. Mee Kari—my SIL menu

Banyak kan? Anyway we will arrange what menu to be on the 1st and the following days. To all friends..Selamat Hari Raya Aildilfitri..maafkan segala salah silap kami semalam ini..raya nanti jemputla mai umah..umah betul kami lom bleh mai lg sbb belum clean up lagi..mai umah skang le..kome pon tahu kan..

Raye nk dekat!

Buka pose gathering
Actually semalam ade gathering buke pose kawan2 Master..emm..tapi aku tak join..bukan apa susah sket nk arrange sbb buat hari kerja ni..Insyallah Sabtu ni bleh join gathering Kroni kat umah Halim…
Persiapan raya
Raya mmg nk dekat..persiapan? For me dah ready..3 pasang baju kurung..1 psg tempah..2 psg jahit sendiri..yg menarik thn ni aku buat 1 baju kurung Pahang..saje nk try power…Hubby & Mus’ab pon kira dah ready..but baju Mus’ab nampak quite bigger than his size..biorler..tahan lama..cam kasut die aku siap bawak tali tape lg ke kedai nak ukur bagi besar sket..sbb 2 kasut die la ni..dh takle pakai..cepat jek ketat
Kuih raya? So far dh siap 3 jenis..this weekend nk siapkan lg 3 jenis biskut..then nk buat Kek Coklat utk bwk balik Kedah & tempahan kawan2 emak..hm..larat ker? Yesterday amik cuti ingat nk buat 2 jenis biskut..but lepas zolat zohor & tadarus..terus membuta selama sejam..tak jd wat biskut..dgn nk lipat kain 2 lori lg..Apapun persiapan kami ala kadar shj..takle mewah..2 days before raya dh start bayar installment housing loan + fire insurance..adeih…

Apa lagi yg tak cukup ni

Macam tahun-tahun lepas gak.. I will make 3-6 types of raya cookies..So now, I am planning to start make the cookies this week but found out few things still not available in out stock.
So, these are the things I would like to buy today:

1. Additional of 3kg flour


2. Additional of 2 butter


3. 1 tin Van Houten Cocoa Powder (big size)


4. Icing sugar


5. Castor sugar


6. Almond (ground & nibbed) about 200gm


7. Almond essence

As requested by my Hubby, I will try to make Rempeyek this year. He wants at least I make one traditional kuih raya for him (.  Apapun, aku kene double or triple kan adunan coz to divide the kuih raya for 1) Our House (Wif Mom) 2) Nanny’s house @ Kuala Pilah 3) Hubby’s family @ Kulim

Mama Ab 3rd Antenatal Check Up

“Berat badan awak tak bertambah sejak sebulan lalu..your blood pressure is too low..makan Vitamin yang saya kasi tu tak?” Dr Azlina said.
I replied “ Makan Dr, mungkin bulan puasa kot berat badan tak bertambah..pagi tadi pon lepas sahur asyik mengemas rumah..so maybe blood pressure turun”

Actually I didn’t tell Dr that my history was low blood pressure since my first pregnancy. The 3rd visit recorded my BP was only 80/50..last month was 90/60. Dr advised me to take healthy diet & vitamin. The BP should at least reached 100/xx…too low or too high is not good for everyone..Actually sometimes I was forgotten to eat the Vitamin..BZ kot..settling lots of work at home…So now Hubby said I must take Vitamin, milk & healthy foods..I agreed but sometimes cannot prevent junk food like Maggie..dah mengidam..so makan gak Maggie or Twisties..occay ke tak ek?

Trimester pertama kehamilan ok sj..sume berjalan lancar…now the symptom is almost the same as my 1st pregnancy : No morning sickness , bit tired & sleepy ..Kalau naik kereta mesti tidur on the way to office or on the way home..even while I’m driving I can fall asleep, so terpaksa la mengunyah something while driving or singing or berzikir

Bezanya setakat ni..dah muntah 3 kali as compared to 1st pregnancy cuma muntah 1 kali..tak byk beza sgt la..Hubby kata kot2 dpt baby boy lagi..eh iye ker? Kalau symptom sama mesti dpt sama gak ker?..hmm..hmm..not necessary la kan..yg penting berdoa supaya anak sihat..btoi tak?Parents paling risau/susah hati bila anak sakit..Bak kata Hubby miskin ker..kaya ker..yg penting hidup mesti Sihat..cam dlm Bersamamu TV3 tu kesian btul tgk Jeremy 7 tahun yg sakit JE..dah la keluarga miskin..bak kate orang sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga..hati mana tak sayu..sedar tak sedar air mata dah bercucuran tgk slot tu..sakit hidup semua itu ujian dr Allah..kalau kita sihat mungkin ujian Allah beri dlm bentuk lain pulak..

10 Ramadhan

Hari ni masuk hari ke 10 berpuasa...mak kata..tahun ni kami pecah record sbb baru sekali pergi Bazar Ramadhan ..tu pon sbb Adik nak mkn kebab..knape kami tak pergi Bazar Ramadhan ek?:
1) Tak sempat nk gi..sampai umah dr ofis dlm kui 6..kalau jam lg teruk..dlm 1 jam tu la nak terhegeh-hegeh nak memasak kat dapur dgn emak..
2) Tak ikut selera kami..emak mmg tak suke mkn luar @ beli..sbb die kate kurang enak & taruk Pak Aji..nanti naik darah tinggi..Mama Ab pon mmg selera mkn lauk tangan sendiri..bertambah-tambah jadinya
3) Lauk beli tak tahan lama sampai ke sahur .. bila pagi dah kene masak lain..payah2
4) Mahirkan cooking skill in efficient & effective way..ye lah dlm 1 jam kene masak utk berbuka..campak2 je dlm kuali @ periuk..asal lauk menjadi..membuka selera utk berbuka..so every working days berbuka tanpa kuih..kuih hanya sempat buat on Sat & Sunday..Last Sun & Sunday Mama Ab wat karipap & samosa...(1st time buat nasib baik menjadi)..this week plan nk buat Cucur Udang & Popiah..tapi tak pandai buat kuah die la..ada sape2 tau nak buat kuah Popiah yg sedap tak?
4) Hujan lebat..actually semalam tingin nk makan cucur udang & tembikai kuning..on the way home hujan lebat pulak..so cancel le plan tu
5) Budget..penting ni sbb byk sgt nak kene guna duit lopeh ni..dh kene pikir brape agaknya RM abeh dek nak bela rumah baru elok2..nak kuar ASB? ooohh daku tak sanggup..tapi zakat dr simpanan tu wajib!!

Kene pikir ni mane nk korek duit bela umah elok2..apapun mungkin repair toilet dulu..cat luar & dalam..lantai atas tak payah tukar tiles lg..just pakai tikar getah dulu..hmm..sesuai kot..
yg penting leh pindah umah sebelum lahir lg sorang ahli keluarga ni..baru la kami anak beranak dpt tidur dlm bilik besar...Ab leh golek2 kat tilam lg besar..dah seminggu Mama Ab sacrifice tidur tilam bujang Ab sbb kui 2am die terjaga mesti nak tidur tilam queen Mama & Ayah..pandai toi anak Mama ni

At last, home sweat home

Alhamdulillah, setelah setahun akhirnya proses pembelian rumah dah selesai. Walaupun ade ketidakpuashatian tertentu, tapi syukur, alhamdulillah at last we have a place we can call our truly own home. Lepas ni nak buat keje2 repair2, cat2 dan pengubahsuaiaan. Hopefully, insyaAllah, by end of January kitaorang akan masuk ke rumah baru sementara menanti ketibaan seorang lagi ahli keluarga baru ;) Alhamdulillah.
