Low Blood Pressure

These past two months, low blood pressure aku makin teruk. Kalau before this, the attack will come once in a month mcm tu. Now it's every alternate day. Semalam the pressure was at 97/48. Bila bangun je, rasa nak pitam. Balik from AEON big kat Wangsa Maju, I had to hold hubby's huge arm sebab rasa nak pitam. The whole day I spent sleeping. Nak masak for berbuka pun tak lalu.

Pastu bila tengok jam dah pukul 4pm, rasa bersalah pulak tak masak. Nak taknak, terpaksa la jugak bangun. Nak buat gulai ayam pun was such a task for me. Sampai kena baring atas lantai dapur bila rasa nak pitam. Iffah helped a lot in the kitchen. And she baked caramel pudding for iftar. Alhamdulillah. Then bila iman balik from school, she cooked sayur bayam. During iftar, hubby forced me to eat. The truth is, selera makan memang takde.

Hari ni I told hubby that I want to berbuka kat surau. K.zarin invited me to berbuka kat surau sebab dia sponsor the food today. Alhamdulillah. Tak payah nak pikir utk masak petang ni. Cuma grill lamb je utk hubby sebab dia taknak makan unhealthy food.

Kisah Pulut Cawang

When hubby came from pasar back with sebijik pulut cawang, I felt like crying. Why?? Becoz pulut cawang is my favourite. Hubby pegi pasar with his mom to  beli santan coz I want to cook nasik lemak.

Balik from pasar, dia letak santan and daun pandan atas meja, and gave me the pulut cawang.  Rasa sangat terharu sebab aku tak suruh pun dia beli and yet he bought it!  Emo nya aku dipagi sabtu ni.. aku rasa ni syndrome orang tua, hati mudah tersentuh.

I am missing my girls a lot.. today aku balik KL.

Torn & Patched..

My size 5 CK jeans which I used to wear 12 years ago and now I'm able to fit in into this jeans once more.

Me.. then and now..

I was browsing thru photos on the desktop, tiba2 terjumpa this gambar which I uploaded sometimes in January this year.

bulat kan muka? penuh macam permukaan bulan.

Then aku compare dengan gambar masa raya this year.. ok la.. nampak kempis la jugak pipi aku tu kan.

 Raya this year with Iman

This latest photo of mine, taken last week masa kat Fraser's Hill..

Bukit Fraser

And I'm shrinking further!! Urgh!!

More Than 25 Years Ago..

 St Mary Primary School, when I was in Standard 3 or maybe in Standard 4, with my BFF Azy.

Warque said, if he were to know me when I was in primary school, he will definitely not fall for me. Hahahahaha... hampeh sungguh Warque ni. Yea, I know.. aku hitam, dah la hitam, selekeh pulak tu, with huge glasses somemore.

By the way, my babies are back from YAWA Bat Camp. Iffah won best female participant award, and according to her (I've verified with Suhaila, Zuleika and Iman), she'll be going to Bandung in September for conference. Ok.. macam tak caya je :)

Iman had her menses for the first time on 23rd June 2011. She was happy, and scared. I'm glad that she was surrounded by kakak2 yang sangat baik, yang tolong explain kat dia what it is about. Thank you girls.

I'm one happy soul today. :)

Lunch @ TGIF, Dinner @ Home

Semalam memang not a good day for me. I skipped exercise for the first time sebab malas. Rasa bersalah yang amat. Nasib baik ler the whole day aku makan the good food, not the bad food. I had a terrible migraine attack. Kepala rasa macam nak pecah. Tapi dalam sakit kepala, aku pegi jugak Wangsa Walk untuk temankan hubby beli screen protector for his ipad2.

Lepas dah beli screen protector, hubby ajak lunch. The girls wanted to lunch kat A&W, but their abah insisted on TGIF. Aku tak suka TGIF's food, sangatla kecik the portion, expensive and takde la sedap mana. Dah ler their ice lemon tea manis giler. Semut minum pun boleh mati. I ordered fish and chips, and hubby ordered grilled lamb. Ok la.. nothing to shout about. The girls makan whatever on kids' menu, aku pun dah tak ingat apa dia org ordered.

Balik from Wangsa Walk, I took medication for migraine and tido for 2 hours! Bangun tido, kepala still sakit. Tapi dalam sakit kepala tu, sempat lagi aku buat pizza for dinner and lemon cheese cupcakes for dessert. I made 2 large pizza and it was gone in few minutes, gobbled by 2 girls and their aunt. Nasib baik la abah dia org sempat makan. My pizza must be really delicious.. hehe..

 Pizza!

 Lemon Cheesecake Yoghurt Cups

I'll update the recipe tomorrow ye coz I've to get ready for our lunch buffet kat Grand Millenium Hotel. I bought the vouchers kat Everyday coupon. You can read it here.

What I'm Listening to Right Now.

I'm so in love with her

Interbatch Bowling Tournament

When Nani told me about this bowling tournament dalam facebook, I wasnt interested to go. Aku tak penah join any event organised by alumni. One thing, I'm not an alumni member. Another thing is that, I'm so lazy and pemalu (benarkah?) nak join orang ramai2 ni. Dah ler aku form 4 baru, ramai senior2 yang aku tak kenal. Juniors pun ramai yg aku tak ingat nama, kenal muka je.

But Nani was very persistent, nak jugak aku join the bowling session. Everyday ada je message from her dalam facebook. Ok la.. aku concede, terpaksa la aku join jugak cuma aku dah bagitau Nani awal2 that I dont want to be one of the player. Roger sponsored our batch lane. The players tak payah keluarkan duit. Thank you Roger for your generousity.

I arrived there late, aku malas nak drive, I asked hubby to drop me at 1 Utama new wing. I brought along some cupcakes. Roger wanted the devil's food cake, Normi ordered RVC and I brought along some lemon bars for Imi. Penuh tangan aku dengan kotak kek. When I reached there, I was the only supporter for our batch.. huhuhu.. kesian betul dengan budak2 batch aku ni. Dia orang main, dia orang jugak yang sokong one another. Lepas aku sampai, Dila and Roger pun sampai. Dila dah jadi macam ahli politik yang melawat kawasan. Instead of bagi sokong pada team, dia pegi merayap to greet the seniors and juniors.

Lepas habis bowling tournament tu, we decided to go to Chili's (again?? semalam dah makan chili's!). Actually, semua orang dah malas nak drive jauh2 or jalan jauh2. I was so hungry, perut dah nyanyikan lagu keroncong. Roger, Normi and Cikgu Poyah (Imi and Normi were kind enough to fetched cikgu poyah at her house in Seremban and bawak datang the tournament) went down to Chili's first sebab Cikgu Poyah dah nampak letih. Aku and Imi had to wait for Dila untuk habis lawat kawasan. Adoi! Femes sungguh kawan aku tu, semua orang dia kenal. We didnt stay long kat Chili's coz Dila ada date with her twin sister, Roger pulak kena fetch her mom yang baru balik from tour memasak Chef Wan di Auckland.

All in all, I had fun! I think I have to make time for alumni events in future. But, sampai rumah kan, I had a terrible headache, sampai la sekarang.. huhuhu...

 Roger jadi pemain simpanan, ganti pemain2 lain yg dah lenguh tangan. :D

 Normi & Mazura, antara pemain yang tegar

 

Us minus Dila, MB yang sangat busy

  

Dila, Roger and Cikgu Poyah. We love you cikgu!!

 See, I told you, another Chili's session

 Normi, me and Imi. Rasa macam baru umur 17 tahun :D

Imi and Dila, vogue ladies!

Rancangan tergendala

I wanna update my blog, but it's extremely difficult using the iPod. pc and laptop is still out of service until hubby balik from Johore. For the past 2 nites, pukul 10pm je, aku dah terlelap sebab I got nothing to do!! Huwaaaaaa.... Sedih giler ni. Kalau Ada pc or laptop, boleh jugak bloghopped malam2 buta.

Semalam, my cousin came over to my house belajar buat Japchae. Anak2 dia cakap sedap! Happy aunty Shidah dengar. Ju was supposed to come too but she was super duper busy. Thank you ju for the cake and polenta? Betul ke? Jamie's version of bengkang

Lazy Sunday

I couldnt decide, whom I like better..

 Won Bin?

So Ji sub?

If only I were 20 years younger.. *sigh*.. Guess what? Hari ni aku spent my day drooling over Won Bin again with Sally in The Man From Nowhere for the umpth times while Iman and Iffah went to swimming pool with hubby along with their cousin Zuleika. Hubby's sister and BIL, went to watch F1 at Sepang. They sent Zuleika over to play with Iman and Iffah. How I wish I can watch F1 at the grand stand with them too. Dulu penah Abg Zainol offer hubby ticket to F1, duduk kat VIP, tapi, hubby tak suka tgk F1, so, di takmau. Ishk! geram je. 

Hari ni, aku mogok keluar rumah. Malas betul la. Dah la panas yang teramat sangat. Pastu tadi hujan renyai2 kejap. Nak masak pun malas. I cooked nasik lemak ikan aye for breakfast, and sampai sekarang still ada byk lagi. So I guess, it will be nasik lemak ikan aye for dinner too. But, dalam malas pun, I managed to bake! I baked Coffee & Walnut cuppies. Hubby cakap sedap! Aku rasa ok la, better than makan red velvet cake coz I like coffee a lot!

Not Well, and Still Need to Run

I woke up feeling like I had swallowed fire, my body was burning. My throat was on fire. Just larat untuk bangun and kejut the kids to school je. Pastu tido balik. Hubby sent the girls to school today, just as for the past few days. That has become his routine, supir job early in the morning.

My body is screaming pain ever since I started exercising 3 months ago. Not a day went by without me not feeling any pain. Seksa woo.. Bila sakit macam ni, lagi la amplified rasa sakit badan tu. But, dalam sakit2 ni pun, aku paksa diri untuk exercise. I know, I should give my body a break coz bila sakit, immune system down. Exercising will only make it worst especially weight training that I'm doing right now. Tapikan, kalau berenti, definitely susah nak start.

Anyway, esok I'm running. I'm trying to motivate myself. For the past few days, my water retention has gone from bad to worse. Kalau picit kaki sekarang, boleh nampak dent yg dalam. I think, if I dont have any problem with water retention, I might look few inches smaller kot. I asked hubby for an MC, guess what he said? NOTHING! Weh! It's so unfair la.. how come I cant have an MC?? I'm working too.. I deserve better benefits! Boleh tak kalau aku nak pindah tempat keje? In my case, kena pindah rumah la kan? :P

Kasut...

I had the same pair of shoes for the past 10 years until last week. Remember the story about how I messed up big time lately ni? Haa.. masa tu tengah nak beli kasut baru la sebab kasut lama aku dah jadi arwah. Sedih betul tau. Mula2, sole kat dalam kasut hilang. To me, takde sole still ok. Aku takde hal coz I'm not a fashionable minah gym. Some minah gym, kalau pegi gym, kena pakai sports bra, baju gym, seluar gym, kasut fancy, stokin, dgn bag gym etc etc. Aku? Whatever yang aku sempat capai pagi tu, tu la yang aku pakai pegi gym.

Stokin? Aku tak suka pakai stokin bila lari coz it's too warm. Nanti terbantut hasrat aku untuk berlari sebab kaki rasa panas. Tapikan, pagi yg kasut aku jadi arwah tu, aku tak sempat berlari, tapak kasut tercabut.. huhuhu.. sedih betul. Ni bukan tapak yg tebal tu, but the tapak getah selapis kat bawah kasut. Dah botak sebelah kasut aku. Bila lari, rasa macam orang tempang coz sebelah kasut tinggi, satu lagi rendah. Last2, hubby ajak beli kasut baru. Eh! sebenarnyakan, yang aku dok merapu meraban tu, aku nak tunjuk kasut baru aku.. heheh.. takde la glamour pun, tapi to spend hundreds for a pair of shoes, bagi aku, tersgt la mahalnya. But I dont have a choice sebab running shoes kena a good one so that it can last for at least another 10 years.

Bankrupt weh tokey kasut kalau semua customer guna kasut bertahun2 macam aku. Tapikan, nak wat camne, aku memang bukan minah kasut. Beli sepasang setahun tu pun dah kira banyak. Kedekut ke aku? Yea.. maybe.. pada diri sendiri :D

Lawa tak kasut ni? Ni kasut Iffah. It was on 50% sale, ke more than that? Aku tak ingat. But yang pastinya, it cost us RM159.

 Ni kasut aku yg dah berusia 10 tahun. Kalau ikutkan hati aku, nak je aku hantar tampal, tapi hubby tak bagi. Dia suruh beli kasut baru.. huhuhu.. sedihnya!

 

Selamat tinggal wahai kasut. Nampak tak kat tapak tu dah berjahit? I love the shoes so much that, bila tapak tercabut, aku gi hantar jahit. 

 

My new shoes. Ok la.. takde la jatuh cinta sangat. 

What's Wrong With ME???

Scene 1 

We were on the way back to KL. Singgah kat Kuala Berang to refuel. Duit dalam wallet ada RM40 je sebab memang plan nak keluarkan duit kat Kuala Berang. Sampai kat Petronas Kuala Berang, hubby asked to withdraw money from his CIMB. He gave me the pin, I went in to the ATM. 1st time aku tekan the pin number, the machine displayed wrong pin. Pastu aku tried again, for the 2nd time. Then, sama jugak, wrong pin entered. I should have stopped and go out, reconfirm again dengan hubby his pin number. But NO, I told my self, maybe aku tersilap tekan pin. 3rd time, Kaboom! Wrong pin again! Nasib baik kad tak kena telan.

I went out, cakap kat hubby that I think he gave me the wrong pin number. Hubby bagitau balik his pin number, then I went in to try again. Guess what? The card has been blocked!!! Argh! Dah ler aku takde duit dalam maybank coz while I was at my mom's place, I dont bother to transfer money to the maybank account, thinking that I'll do it in KL. Normally, I will transfer some money in Maybank. Takut emergency ke apa, senang kalau ada few ATM cards with money.

Then hubby made a call to CIMB call center. Guess what? They cannot unlock the pin. Tu pun lepas dah mintak reconfirmation of personal details dari hubby, baru nak cakap that they cannot do it over the phone. Hubby kena pegi kat branch. Giler!! There we were.. stuck in Kuala Berang, with only RM40 in our wallet. Dah ler masa tu dah nak masuk maghrib. Bank semua dah tutup. Nasib baik la adik aku Izani baik hati, transferkan duit dia dulu dalam maybank. Hubby punya la membebel kat aku. But I was angry too. Sapa suruh dia bagi aku pin number salah and sapa suruh dia malas nak keluarkan duit??

Scene 2

We went to Adidas/Puma warehouse sale at The Mall. After selecting the shoes that I want and bought a pair of nike air for iffah, hubby went to the cashier. Cashier dah punch harga barang2 tu, then time utk bayar. Guess what?? I didnt bring my Maybank card!! I took it from my wallet the day before untuk keluarkan duit. Argh!! Again! Dah la aku dah transfer semua duit masuk Maybank. Hubby membebel panjang lebar. Nasib baik ler a friend, Meje, tolong bank in kan duit masuk dalam CIMB aku. Huwaaaaaaaaaaa.... sedih giler!! Something is definitely wrong with me. I think I'm too tired running here and there..

Balik rumah, I searched high and low for my Maybank ATM card, tak ingat kat mana aku campak. Guess where it was hiding?? Inside my wallet but kat compartment lain. Bukan tempat yg aku selalu letak my card.. huhuhu... I'm super depressed now.. I think I need a break.. Tomorrow, we're gonna entertain hubby's childhood friend kat rumah for lunch... *sigh*..

Shopping Spree on Amazon.com Again!

People might think that I'm crazy. I think I am too.. hehe.. Semalam I did some shopping on amazon.com. Eh! bukan some sebenarnya, but a lot! For the past few days, aku dok spend on amazon.com looking for items that I need, and some I dont really need, but because the urge to purchase was very strong, maka aku jadikan "that is what I need too".

The next shipment sebenarnya lambat lagi, in May. Tapi sebab aku nak balik kampung this school hols (macam la aku balik kampung 2 bulan), maka I did my shopping yesterday. Today pun ada lagi barang nak beli, but I need to make payment to the credit card dulu. It's easier that way, in order not to overspend. Use only money that you have to shop, never use credit money. Chewah! macam real je aku ni.. hahahha

SO, what did I buy yesterday? Jap jap.. aku tempek list. Tak jadi tempek list coz this post was written few days ago. Atfan just emailed the photo of my amazon stuffs

Week 10 ~ Body For Life

This is my week 10 of Body For Life program. Rasa macam nak pengsan bila nak kena pikir apa nak makan etc. Normally we'll stick to grilled fish, tuna sandwich, or anything seafood. Hubby is blood type AB, so I cant prepare beef or chicken dish. Every 2-3 days, we'll have lamb sandwich. Yesterday aku pegi Jusco, hoping to get slice lamb at 50% off, tapi takde pun. Sedih je rasa. So semalam, aku beli paru je. Ingat nak masak sambal pengantin hari ni. Err.. tapikan, aku tak penah masak sambal pengantin. Mampu ke aku buat?

Back to my body for life program. Aku rasa aku takde vast improvement macam dulu. Dunno where I did wrong. Or maybe sebab I'm older now and with PCOS, the progress is much slower. Kadang2 rasa demotivated jugak bila tengok progress is not as what I expect it to be. Hubby dah kurus by a lot! He can wear seluar size 33 now. ME? err.. I think I'm still further away from size 28. Lemak2 di monggeng ku just refused to go away. Argh!

Starting from this week, hubby wants to add new exercise to our lower body exercises. Instead of just deadlift, squats, abs and claves, he'll add another exercise for inner thigh. Mampu ke aku nak ikut? On Monday I increased my lower body weights, sampai hari ni kaki aku sakit giler. Bila nak solat, punya la seksa.

Semalam, adik aku, Mas, bagitau that Sharp is going to have a warehouse sale on Saturday. To those yang nak beli barang Sharp at a very low price, sila la ke sana ye. My advise, those yang nak beli barang, be there at 7am sebab by 8am tu, dah penuh kereta especially tokey2 kedai letrik. Memang murah sangat barang2 Sharp time tu. And semlm, Mas email new staff price offer for month of March. Aku tengok 35L convection oven is selling for RM130. I think I wanna start baking kek lapis and macarons. So, I'll start with a small oven dulu. :)

Photo taken 2 weeks ago when I was in Terengganu. Ni baru balik from Cardio at TER. Muka je nampak kurus, so kena ambik gambar muka dulu :D

Not So Wordy Sunday

I'm having running nose, coughing and sore throat. I guess that's the result of being cooped up in this small hospital room for the past 7 days. At least, the stay is quite bearable now with neighbours come and go. Since Iman kat sini, dah 4 kali tukar neighbour. Dia sorang je yang tak balik2 lagi. When can she go back? I really have no idea.. *sigh*..

 Iman's doudou. Missing legs, stitches all over the body, but still disayangi Iman sepenuh hati.

Yesterday, I received a bad news from an Ausmat friend, Onn. Onn bagitau that our Ausmat friend, Lela, passed away yesterday morning at about 6.30am due to breast cancer. I was shocked, speechless, sadden by the news. It made me realised how precious and fragile life is. Lela as aku remembered her, was someone yang sangat lemah lembut, pakai tudung labuh, always wearing black/brown colours, pakai glasses. I'vent seen her for almost 20 years. The last was, before kita org fly to Australia. And I'll not be able to see her again.

It's a wake up call to me. Aku kena be more proactive dalam mencari kawan2 yang hilang. The truth is, aku dah dengar about Lela being not well since last year, tapi aku tak make any effort to contact her. Padahal she's on facebook. The only time I wrote on her wall was yesterday, after her demise. Sedih kan? Argh! menyesal? yes! menyesal yang amat. 

Semoga arway Lela dicucuri rahmat dan tergolong dalam hamba-hamba yang beriman. Al-Fatihah.

My Amazon Purchase

As promised, below are the photos of my amazon.com purchase. The photos were taken in a hurry coz aku kena rushed balik to hospital to Iman. I left her today at 11am, lepas Dr. Zarin did his ward round. I had to go back, nak exercise plus ambik Iffah from school. K.Siti went back to Kedah sebab her father is gravely ill. For the past few days, K.Siti la yang ambik Iffah from school. Thank you so much K.Siti.

Weight Lost & BB Cream

I lost another 2kg. Total weight lost now is 8.5kg for month of January. I'm so happy! I need to lose another 5-8kg this month. I hope I can achieve that soon. Hubby cakap, once I lost 10kg, I can see significant changes to my body. I'm hoping to reach the 10kg mark soon.

Tapikan, semalam, I couldnt resist my sugar cravings. Especially bila bukak peti, ada leftover trifle from dinner on Monday tu. In the end, I succumbed to the temptation. Panggil trifle to jauh lagi kuat dari semangat aku. Huwaaa... I cheated!! I ate trifle!! Luckily bila timbang pagi ni, my weight didnt increase. Phew!

I've received good reviews from those yang beli BB cream from me. I'm very happy with the reviews. Aku ni jenis yg, bila aku cuba, takde problem, very good on my skin, then baru aku share. And I've tested all the BB cream product range and I love it! So far, aku dah deliver more than 20 tubs of BB cream (various product range) since last week. This week, I'm gonna add 2 more product to the BB cream range, the BB Boomer and Shiny BB Cream. Price for both is RM69.90. BB Cream Perfect Cover #23 and Water BB Cream dah out of stock. Now aku cuma ada BB Cream Perfect Cover #21, BB Boomer & Shiny BB Cream.

Missha Watery BB Cream - before and after

 The sample that I received from my SIL semalam.

 Size is 50ml, sama dengan BB Cream Perfect Cover

 

My skin tone is uneven. In this photo, I'm not wearing anything, not even moisturiser. Cuma basuh my face olive soap. No toner and blusher too. Pipi nampak merah sebab baru lepas exercise.. hehe

 

After using Missha Watery BB Cream, nampak glowing naturally. In this photo, I only use the BB Cream. Again, no moisturiser, toner, compact powder or any make up :)

Missha Watery BB Cream

Ok! I received Missha Watery BB Cream from Mina, my Korean SIL today. I read reviews on the product, some people suka sangat, some tak suka. After using it once, I love it a lot! Missha BB Cream Perfect Cover works wonders to the skin, and I thought, it's the best. Mina cakap, Watery BB Cream is the trend now in Korea and Japan. The product is selling like a hot cake and I can see why. I applied it in the afternoon, sampai sekarang, muka aku rasa sangat lembab and gebu, nampak berseri-seri.

Kalau baca reviews about this product, some people find it difficult to apply sebab it's watery. What I did tadi, before applying the cream, I shake it for a minute. Pastu picit sikit kat the back of your hand, then apply on your face. The tone is perfect for those yang kulit tak putih melepak. Actually, for our skin, I think Watery BB Cream suits us the best. For those yang nak baca good review on this product, boleh la pegi kat sini http://www.theshadesofu.com/2009/08/missha-watery-blemish-balm-bb-cream.html

RM75.00 (including delivery), comes only in 1 shade, tak sesuai untuk kulit yang putih melepak.

PS : esok I'll upload gambar2 muka I bila guna the bb cream (before and after photos)
