Mom and Baby Expo at Mid Valley!!

These past few days, I've been swiping my credit card like nobody else's business.

Not to worry though, I've paid them all this morning. I just want the points, anyway!

I've been having a terrible backache this past couple of weeks. Since Love is such a sweetheart (or rather he had enough of my complaints), he spent the whole Friday night with his macho guy friend to buy me a maternity pillow!!



Store after store and he found the cheapest one at Modernmum with the price of RM179. The best thing is that, boleh jadi nursing pillow!!



Then on Saturday, we spent the whole evening in Mid Valley for the Baby Fair.

Goodness!! I can go crazy with the sale!!!



We bought lots of baju baby and the accessories; booties, mittens, socks, hat and bip! Baju range from RM2-RM15. Accessories RM1.50-RM4.



Also some storage bottles (Bumblebee RM32 for 11 bottles), poncho/nursing cover, baby carrier and the best purchase of the day has got to be..

The stroller!!


For newborn


For toddler

This is Love's choice :) Stroller for newborn + toddler + car seat for newborn for only RM345. Such bargain!!

Another fair is on 29th to 31st July this year. Tapi, BFF Maria dah beranak masa tu, huhu.. I can still shoppppp!!!!!!!!!!~

Mum had her own agenda too last weekend. She bought some towels for her future grandchildren and she made some pillow covers yang super comel!



Second trimester is the best trimester indeed!! Bestnye shopping :)

Of happy things

Bila buat entry sedih, mesti counter balik dengan entry happy.

Recently, a friend of mine got engaged. Bila dah jodoh, senang je datang. We never knew the existence of this guy before, but when the time comes, sometimes you don't really need that much effort.



What I always believed is that, if you want to get married, you must want it really bad. Benda baik kan, mesti Allah SWT akan tolong :)

I especially like the centerpiece. Ntah bunga apa, light pink and light blue, so adorable!



Also, it was my youngest brother's birthday yesterday.


About 9.30 pm, my mum went crazy and said, "Where's my phone? Where's my phone? Need to call your brother to wish him Happy Birthday"

Me: What? You haven't yet wish him?? Too late already ok!

After she hung up the phone she said, "Nasib baik sempat. I'm the first to wish him!"
Me: Apa yang first nye? I messaged him midnight tadi.

Mum: I'm the first to wish la, he was born at 9.31 pm.

Like that also can aa.. Mums are weird. (Note to my baby, I'm gonna be normal to you ok)

Owh, another thing to share to all mommies!! I just bought some nursing bras from FabulousMom.com. Clearance sale for only RM10, my first online purchase, whee!!


Who would have thought nursing bras are way more comfortable than push ups?

To one of the strongest person I know..

I met a Venus..

Who inspired me to dress up at days when I was down to light up my spirit.

Who inspired me to dress up for my better half though when he was not around at the moment (MMS kan ada :)).

Who inspired me to cook fine dining for the sake of love.

Who inspired me to pamper myself in order to look beautiful in front of my husband.

Who inspired me to escape for romantic get aways every now and then.

...

I met a Venus, who collided with the Mars.

But since Venus is the brightest natural object in the night sky after moon, I wouldn't worry much.

Cuz I know,

she will inspire me to stand tall at times when it is almost not possible to do so.

I have faith in you. :)

I'm a wife again!

Alhamdulillah, I'm getting better and better nowadays :)

The best thing is that I have the energy to prepare for Love's breakfast for yesterday and today!!

When we got married, I challenged myself to prepare a breakfast for him everyday for as long as God permits. And syukur, I managed to wake up as early as 5am (He had to leave to work before 6am) for that until the day I had some minor bleeding. Then, everything changed.

Though Love himself prohibited me from doing anything, sometimes he mentioned how much he missed my cooking. It made me feel so helpless at times.

But yesterday, I could even dress up for him before he arrived from work. Yay! I finally feel like a wife again! :)

Currently, I am looking for a maid to help mum with our baby once I'm at work and to help us with our new house (we just got the key, y'all!) so that I can have my full concentration on Love and our baby.



Love was reluctant with my idea of having a maid at first, his main issue was money. But, for me money was not everything.

Speaking of which, let me tell you our story when we first got married.

I was soooo underpaid back then. But, rezeki after kahwin, right after I got married, I was upgraded to lecturer that resulted my salary to be more than doubled from the previous one.

As happy as Love was with the news, he was a bit frustrated with the fact that my salary was higher than his. He asked me if I was going to be ok with it.

I just laughed. And said the exact same things I told him whenever he was down, "I have faith in you in ways you couldn't ever imagined possible. And you will be someone, someday trust me. That is when the world knows why I marry you. I foresee things."


He always laughed at that.

I don't marry anyone for God's sake. I take my life very seriously. So I mean every single word I told him.

He proved me just right. With his salary, he provides nafkah to me monthly religiously. He pampers me with stuff. Just like the first date, we fight to pay for our date every single time.

And so I adviced my little niece, "If you want to get married, you don't really have to find someone rich, average pon tape, as long as he loves spending for you."

A couple of days ago, we received a news that lighten up our life. Rezeki baby maybe. Love is reaching his way up there, to be that someone. In such young age. Alhamdulillah.

And hence, a maid from Indonesia is on her way to us now. I pray for the best. Ameen.

Hectic Saturday

Woke up all excited for my 3rd month check up at Az-Zahra!!~

Latest pic of our precious..



Dah ada tangan, dah ada kaki.. haiyooo, comel! :)

Had my blood checked (hurts a lot). I gained 0.5 kg btw, Alhamdulillah, though I hope I gained more. Blood pressure was normal, hopefully blood test turns out ok too.

Since the check up finished earlier than we thought, we rushed to PJ for Pureen warehouse sale!! Memang sangat best!

What we bought on that day..



Clothings (Price ranges from RM3 to RM10)
Long sleeve-5
Long pants-4
Short sleeve-2
Short pants-1

Other stuff we bought as in the picture ranges from as cheap as RM5 to RM22.

Tips for the Pureen Warehouse Sale:
♥ Try to come on the first day, else baju banyak size dah tade.
♥ Ramai orang and panas, so wear as comfortable as possible.
♥ Parking agak jauh, so bring an umbrella just in case.
♥ Plan what to buy, else rambang mata.

Then, we went to Kak Zana (our fav. tailor) to take our jubah and baju Melayu for Abg Long's wedding.

Went home, took a bath and rushed to Italiannies, Empire for dinner with my favourite girls..


Had a wonderful time catching up while having my all time fav., Spinach Artichoke. Love's all time fav. --> Salmon Pizza.

Such hectic yet so very wonderful Saturday :)

Hello 2nd trimester!

Today is the beginning of my 2nd trimester, Alhamdulillah. I am so thankful to the Almighty considering the ups and downs I had during my first trimester, I have faith that the second trimester onwards is going to be a very happy journey for both Love and me. Insya Allah. Ameen. :)

This post is meant to share (for dear readers) and to reminisce (to myself one day) the ups and downs I've been through during my first trimester.

The first month.
You can read all about it here.

The second month
..was the worst! Feeling sick every morning. Vomiting every evening. No appetite to eat at all, yet hungry every 15 minutes or so! Could not sleep. Tired all the time. Too lazy to go to work or even to get out of the house. Taking leave almost once in every week.

Even worse, I felt so not motivated, so freaking helpless. Mum and hubby did almost everything for me. I did not even have the energy to mandi after work. That bad!

I couldn't eat almost everything that I loved before esp milk and vege, but I super love fruits, but too much fruits lead to another problem..

The threatened abortion made it even worse. I was at my lowest point of my life at this moment.

The third month
Seeing my baby's heartbeat for the first time just lifted up my spirit to the max.

My morning sickness starts to cool down, energetic again to go to work and to settle down after work.

Less hungry, more appetite, some minor back pain but wayyyy better.

...
Now, i'm in my fourth month, things are getting better, Alhamdulillah.

Though my first three months are not all rainbows and butterflies, but I must thank Allah SWT for a lot of things.

I heard that some pregnant women are more sensitive towards their husband, but Love and I.. we had such amazing understanding. He babied me the way i could not imagine possible. He cleaned the room, did the dishes, even bathed me every night.. and.. he was my source of motivation.

Never once he complained.

And mum... just did EVERYTHING else. Too much to write in words.

BFF Maria cheered up my days and Dr. Sumay was there everyday I was in the office, just made my days brighter.

I must have been blessed.

And I thank everyone that helps me throughout my first trimester, in which without them... i just could not bear the thought.

The one that gets hurt :(

In life, there has got to be one couple that you always look up to..

Whether it's the friends that match your definition of "the happiest couple ever", or Marshall and Lily from "How I met your mother" or your favourite relatives or even perhaps your own parents.



But when it all falls apart, some might wonder whether true love still exist. But to those who live in a fairy tale like me can only hope that they will eventually live happily ever after one day.

Almost always, we often forget that these break ups affect other people as much as they affect the affected couple.

Remember the episode when Lily left Marshall, best friend Ted was hurt because of the break up too.

So to my epitome of "true love", I know you're reading this, you will forever be remembered and be missed and be loved.. even when you're now continents away. Love, forever your niece :)
