Saya nak kulit muda remaja!!!

Assalamualaikum :)

Hari ni saya nak kongsikan rangkaian produk anti penuaan yang selamat untuk wanita hamil!

Kenapa eh penting sangat kita jaga kulit?
Orang zaman dulu tak makan vitamin untuk cantikkan kulit pun!!
Orang zaman dulu tak pakai pun segala bagai pencuci dan krim muka!!

Perlu ke?

Tahu tak bahawa kulit adalah organ terbesar dalam tubuh kita? Dan kulit selain beperanan penting dalam penampilan, juga penting untuk melindungi kita dari jangkitan kuman, mengawal jumlah air dalam tubuh dan menstabilkan suhu badan!

AIR- 20% dari kulit kita terdiri dari air. Sangat penting tau untuk mengekalkan kelembapan pada kulit bagi memastikan sel kulit sentiasa segar bugar dan tidak layu!

LAPISAN MINYAK- Pada kulit kita juga ada satu lapisan penting yang dipanggil sebum. Sebum adalah campuran minyak semulajadi yang dirembeskan oleh kulit kita. Sebum menghalang kulit dari menjadi kering dan memastikan kulit sentiasa kelihatan awet muda!

MINYAK + AIR --> HIDROLIPID. Gabungan dua elemen yang sangat penting pada kulit yang sihat iaitu kelembapan dan sebum secara seimbang akan menghasilkan satu lapisan yang dipanggil hidrolipid. Lapisan hidrolipid pada permukaan kulit memastikan kulit sentiasa lembap, lembut dan gebu serta kelihatan awet muda! Lapisan ini juga mengekalkan pH yang sedikit berasid untuk memastikan bakteria tidak dapat membiak pada permukaan kulit yang seterusnya boleh mengakibatkan jerawat bernanah!

Sel kulit dihasilkan pada lapisan yang paling dalam, dan akan bergerak ke permukaan kulit. Bila sel ini mati, ia akan dibuang dan digantkan dengan sel baru. Proses pergerakan sel ini penting untuk memastikan kulit kita sentiasa kelihatan segar dengan sel2 baru. Biasanya dalam kulit yang sihat, proses ini mengambil masa 28 hari. Bermaksud kulit kita diganti setiap 28 hari!

Lapisan lemak dan collagen dibawah kulit akan memastikan kulit sentiasa tegang dan anjal. Diusia muda, kulit mampu memperbaiki sendiri segala kerosakan yang berlaku disebabkan oleh pencemaran, pendedahan kepada cahaya matahari, dan radikal bebas. Tetapi lama kelamaan, kulit akan mula tewas dan tanda tanda penuaan kulit akan muncul seawal umur 20an!!

Amboi panjang lebar saya terangkan tentang kulit supaya kita semua dapat memahami bagaimana sebenarnya ciri ciri kulit yang sihat serta mengenalpasti faktor yang mempercepatkan penuaan kulit.

Membekalkan vitamin dan nutrisi pada kulit sangat penting untuk menghasilkan kulit yang sihat. Tetapi penjagaan luaran tidak kurang pentingnya!

Kali ini saya nak berkongsi tentang Enfuselle, iaitu rangkaian produk anti penuaan untuk kulit lelaki dan wanita!

Apakah keistimewaan Enfuselle berbanding rangkaian produk muka yang lain?

Enfuselle emngandungi 7 kandungan istimewa yang dipanggil VITAL REPAIR
1. Vitamin A- meningkatkan kelembapan kulit, antiksidan untuk melindungi sel dari kerosakan
2. Vitamin C- melindungi kulit dari kerosakan kolagen yang disebabkan oleh sinaran UV dan radikal bebas
3. Vitamin E- antioksidan yang melindungi kulit dari ancaman radikal bebas dan UV. Juga mengurangkan pigmentasi dan memudarkan parut
4. Panthenol (provitamin B5)- meningkatkan kegebuan dan keanjalan kulit
5. Ekstrak biji anggur- menghentikan aktiviti enzim yang menghancurkan lapisan collagen
6. Superoxide dismutase (SOD)- melindungi kulit dari radikal bebas
7. Beta glucan- melindungi kulit dari pencemaran dari udara

Dengan penggunaan rangkaian produk Enfuselle, kesan hebat boleh dilihat seawal 4 minggu penggunaan! Kulit nyata lebih segar, lembap, anjal dan kelihatan muda :)

Lot Banglo Impian untuk dijual

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Berkongsi impian dan offer menarik!

Ibu mana yang tak ada impian untuk anak anak dan keluarga??? Tak ada. Mesti ada impian :)

Saya pun ada impian. Sejak dari zaman persekolahan lagi. Dari dulu saya suka tengok gambar 'mansion'. Rumah agam Inggeris zaman lama. Nampak klasik, sejuk dengan taman yang cantik penuh bunga!!! Selalu search gambar2 dalam Google dan simpan dalam laptop untuk tatapan peribadi dari semasa ke semasa. Waaaa seperti terbayang anak anak saya berlari riang di taman yang luas atau beraktiviti seni di dalam rumah. Terbayang saya yang rajin ke dapur menyediakan makanan untuk suami dan anak anak dan berpiknik di laman bawah teduhan pokok rendang. Terbayang keluarga yang ceria dan bahagia :)

Sekarang ni berita penculikan kanak kanak makin hangat. Ibu bapa pasti sangat bimbang untuk melepaskan anak2 bermain bebas di luar. Jadi saya menetapkan kriteria bahawa rumah saya nanti mestilah memiliki halaman luas, cukup luas untuk anak anak bermain bola sepak atau layang layang! Cukup luas untuk anak anak berlari. Dan saya akan buat tembok dan pagar tinggi sebagai faktor keselamatan. Jadi tak perlu mengongkong anak anak didalam rumah dan dalam masa yang sama tak perlu bimbang melepaskan anak anak beraktiviti bebas luar rumah :)

Berbekalkan impian ini, sebaik saya mula bekerja, saya mencari sebidang tanah sebagai tapak rumah kami nanti. Saya inginkan suasana tenang, jauh dari hiruk pikuk dan asap debu bandar. Tapi dalam masa yang sama saya nak kawasan yang selamat dan eksklusif. Pencarian demi pencarian, akhirnya saya bertemu dengan tanah impian!

Saujana Utama Sungai Buloh Country Resort (SBCR)

Kawasan yang sedang pesat membangun tapi alam semulajadi masih terpelihara. Nama pun Country Resort- sangat melambangkan suasana kedesaannya.

Ada 3 Garden- Kenanga Garden, Seroja Garden dan Anggerik Garden. Kawasan ini menawarkan lot/ tapak rumah banglo gaya eksklusif.

Cari punya cari, akhirnya kami memilih Kenanga Garden. Betapa Allah memudahkan usaha, kami dapat membeli sebidang tanah betul betul di puncak Kenanga Garden. Berhawa agak sejuk dan cukup tinggi untuk membolehkan kami melihat ke seluruh kawasan Saujana Utama.

Tanah ini memang luas, dengan keluasa 12,127 kaki persegi! Bertepatan dengan impian saya (yang pada ketika itu sudah menjadi impian kami- abang dan saya). Kami mula melakar pelan rumah. Dan saya beritahu abang bahawa saya ingin membela sepasang kuda dan pastikan anak anak kami pandai menunggang kuda.

Kenanga Garden adalah kawasan berpagar dan bersekuriti 24 jam. Ada clubhouse yang menawarkan pelbagai aktiviti termasuklah aktiviti berkuda.

Selain kawasan yang cantik dan berudara segar, kawasan ini menjadi pilihan disebabkan kemudahan berhampiran. Klinik, sekolah, restoran dan segala keperluan terlalu hampir. Stesen minyak pun dekat je. Begitu juga dengan lebuh raya. Ada masjid berdekatan yang menggembirakan abang ;)

Waktu tu kami baru mula bekerja, masih tak berduit. Tapi kami tetap beli tanah dan membuat perancangan untuk membina rumah dalam tempoh 10 tahun akan datang, seusai kami hidup merantau. Tanah dan rumah, semakin dilengah2kan pembelian, semakin mahal harganya! Jadi memang tak rugi membeli untuk dijadikan aset.

Kini masuk 3 tahun kami memiliki lot banglo itu, harganya sudah 2 kali ganda!!! Terasa begitu sayang untuk melepaskan pergi lot banglo ini, tapi mungkin Allah ada perancangan lain untuk kami.. Direzkikan membeli sebuah banglo di Kedah dengan keluasan tanah yang lebih berganda dari lot banglo ini, kami bersedia untuk menawarkannya dengan harga lebih rendah dari pasaran. Impian saya insyaAllah akan tetap diteruskan, dan saya ingin membantu sesiapa yang memiliki impian sama untuk memiliki sebidang tanah ini.

Sebidang tanah bukan hanya sebidang tanah :)

Jika anda atau kenalan atau ahli keluarga anda berminat untuk memiliki tanah ini, bolehlah call saya

ESP for flawless skin: 3 years and counting

Saya nak share satu produk yang saya rasa bessttttttt sangat. And which I feel very important to regain back flawless skin!

Mungkin ada orang rasa "Eh mesti dia nak jual produk dia ni". Terpulanglah apa yang orang nak rasa, cuma saya kongsikan kesan superb yang saya dapat bila gunakan produk2 yang akan saya anjurkan :) Kalau nak rasa kesan superbb ni, no harm trying :) Kalau taknak pun xpe, kulit masing2.

Semua orang tahu saya pengguna tegar dan pengedar Shaklee. Perkara yang mungkin tak ramai tahu adalah, saya dah amalkan Shaklee selama 2 tahun sebelum saya mula berniaga! First product yang saya cuba dulu adalah ESP dan konsisten sampai ke hari ini! Tapi entah kenapa waktu 2 tahun pertama, tak pernah terfikir nak berkongsi kebaikan dengan orang lain hahaha. Saya cuma berkongsi dengan abang sampailah abang pun turut jatuh cinta! Ada sedikit penyesalan waktu tu bila berkongsi dengan abang.. abang selalu minta tolong bancuhkan ESP tapi isteri dia ni malas!!!! Huuuuu.

Waktu dua tahun pertama saya bekerja, memang sangat memenatkan. Waktu tu tengah lalui training housemanship. Houseman ni kira kuli kat hospital. Orang pertama datang, orang terkahir balik dan segala benda kita yang kena buat. Sebab nak menuntut ilmu, redha kan aje :)

Tipu kalau saya kata waktu tu tak penat. Penatnya hanya Allah yang tahu! Waktu tu Allah buka pintu hati untuk cuba ESP. Perubahan yang saya rasa adalah sangat bertenaga! Walaupun waktu tu selalu tak sempat makan breakfast atau lunch. Saya selalu datang kerja kul 3-4 pagi, balik dalam 12pm. Tapi masih mampu bertahan :) Dan pujian yang selalu saya dapat (terutama dari staff nurse haha) adalah nampak muda! Tambah lagi saya memang jenis org slim (bertambah slim bila selalu skip meal. berat waktu tu sekitar 43-44kg), rata rata tak percaya yang saya dah ada anak!

Jerawat satu penyakit kulit! Kalau ada jerawat, jom rawat! Mesti usaha untuk dapatkan flawless skin :)

Dengan waktu kerja yang gila, memang tak sempat nak buat rutin cuci muka! Kadang2 cuci muka waktu mandi. Itupun pakai apa sahaja pencuci yang ada. Selalunya pakai lebihan pencuci muka adik beradik. Diorang ni suka try macam2 produk muka, bila tak suka, terus derma kat saya haha. Saya pun terima je lah ;P tapi Alhamdulillah walaupun rutin penjagaan muka cincai boncai, muka tetap licin dan bebas jerawat. Sebab tu saya memang tak sanggup nak tinggalkan ESP sampai hari ini!

Waktu alahan, memang saya tak boleh minum ESP. Bau pun dah boleh muntah. 4 bulan tinggalkan ESP, memang perubahan ketara pada kulit. Kulit mudah dapat jerawat. Dan bila jerawat kecut, payah betul untuk hilangkan parut jerawat! Berbeza dengan ketika saya amalkan ESP, biasanya tak sampai seminggu pun kesan jerawat lesap!

Sekarang dah 2 minggu saya konsisten semula dengan ESP. Alhamdulillah nampak perubahan ketara pada kulit walaupun saya kini sedang mengandung. Biasanya kulit orang mengandung ni problematic :)

Dan perubahan lain yang saya rasa adalah saya kembali aktif dan rasa sangat bertenaga walaupun dalam keadaan mengandung! Hari2 boleh mop rumah, masak untuk keluarga, bekerja dan malam menguruskan bisnes. Alhamdulillah Allah buka pintu hati saya untuk mencuba ESP

Macamana saya minum ESP?
Saya biasa minum 2 kali sehari. Pagi dan malam. Setiap kali bancuh, saya gunakan 2 scoop + susu. Dulu selalu shake dengan tangan. Sekarang selalu guna shake-n-take (hadiah dari kakak hehehe). Rasa lagi best sebab halus berbuih2! And mesti bancuh sejuk2 or tambah ais! Sebab saya mesti buat untuk 2 orang (abang pun wajib minum ESP ni!!!), setiap kali bancuh, saya letak 4 scoop.
Jadi bayangkan 8 scoop sehari!
Selalunya 1 tong ESP tu memang tak tahan lah sebulan hehe.

Inilah resipi yang selalu saya gunakan untuk minuman ESP yang super delicoussss. Cuma gantikan Cinch dengan ESP :)

Kadang kadang rasa pelik bila customer beli ESP, lepas tu complain takde kesan. Tapi beli 1 tong, lepas 4-5 bulan pun x habis lagi! Tak tahulah macamana cara dia minum, konsisten ke tak..

Sebenarnya kalau tak bersungguh dan istiqamah, kita sendiri yang rugi. Sebabnya siapa yang nak kulit flawless? Diri sendiri juga. Mesti bersungguh2 untuk capai impian sendiri k :)

Kalau rasa nak cuba ESP, boleh hubungi saya k. Saya cuba bantu sehabis baik supaya semua orang mampu mengamalkan ESP!

Pregnant mommy can also be gorgeous!

Assalamualaikum :)

Lama tak menulis sebab agak busy sekarang ni. I'm not just a doctor, I'm also an enterpreneur hihihi. Dah lama teringin nak ada bisnes sendiri, jadi bila ada bisnes sendiri rasa seronok sangat. Walaupun bernaung bawah Shaklee, tapi tetap rasa macam bisnes sendiri. Kadang2 rasa macam main main je haha. Mana taknya, bisnes ni dimulakan sebagai suka suka and nak tampung keperluan nafsu sendiri yang nak amalkan pelbagai produk Shaklee. Tapi bila dapat keuntungan yang lebih berganda dari gaji seorang doktor, rasa celik mata. Oh this is serious after all!!

I'm now 5 months pregnant, which means I have another 4 months to go! Now I have a new mission!
Waktu 4 bulan pertama, my main business was vomiting. Rasa teruk giler waktu tu! Setiap malam tak boleh tidur sebab gastrtiis and muntah muntah. Kalau diberi pilihan, memang dah taknak lalui lagi dah. Sob Sob. Makan memang merapu rapu. Tapi tak kisah pun sebab semua makanan tu tak bertahan lama dalam perut hehehe. Sekejap je singgah, muntah balik.

Penjagaan diri? Totally out! Gosok gigi dua hari sekali ahahahaha. Sebabnya waktu tu macam dah tak tahu siang ke malam. Sama je. Cuci muka? Langsung tak cuci selama 4 bulan! Tak larat fikir pasal cuci muka bila loya dan muntah menguasai. Jerawat tumbuh macam cendawan lepas hujan. Waktu tu duduk rumah Ummi, abang tinggal sorang2 kat Kelantan. Ambil cuti tanpa gaji. Jadi takdelah isu sangat tentang keserabaian diri tahap maksima. Kalau abang ada pun, mungkin tak perasan haha.

Lepas 4 bulan, alahan semakin berkurang Alhamdulillah. walaupun kadang2 masih lagi muntah bila silap pilih makanan. Waktu bangun, macam sleeping beauty. Terbangun dari mimpi. Bezanya bila bangun, ARGGGHHHHHH nightmare. Body shape memang totally out lah. Perut memboyot, peha besar dan segala galanya besar. Bila timbang, OMG dari 45kg---> 54kg. Bukan aku muntah muntah ke haritu??? Mana datang 10kg ni??? Dan yang lebih menakutkan, penuh jerawat kat muka terutama kat T-area, dan of course PARUT JERAWAT!! Sentuh pipi, bergerutu dan berminyak. Sentuh rambut, awat macam dawai??? Sob sob sedih sangat.. Teringat segala usaha meng-flawless-kan muka sebelum pregnant haritu... macam hilang sekelip mata.

Jerawat T Zone

Saat saat macam ni, mulalah nak salahkan abang wuwuuu. Sebab abanglah isteri jadi macam ni T_T. Ok ini memang fikiran budak kecik tak matang. Every pregnant woman go through the same things and I should be just grateful for everything that I have! Plus brooding isnt getting me anywhere. So waktu tu dengan penuh motivasi, cuba untuk bangkit semula.

Kata nak jadi Gorgeous Pregnant Lady??? Kata nak jadi macam Che Ta waktu sambut baby? Gorgeous dengan segala make up bagai? Kata nak nampak awet muda walaupun anak berderet2 kat belakang?? Teringat balik segala impian..Of course tak boleh bersedih dah!!!

So saya pun buat balik plan.. Plan yang saya panggil PREGNANT MOMMY CAN ALSO BE GORGEOUS! Kenapa pregnant mommy?? Sebab pregnant mommy ni ada limited option. Bukan semua vitamin boleh makan, pencuci muka pun kena pilih2 yang selamat. Anybody yang interested, jom! Kita ikut plan ni  dalam next entry :)


Dr Maryam Aziz :)

Pregnancy Pillow

Ummi shook her head in disbelief when I told her I bought a pregnancy pillow haha. Pregnant mommies nowadays... They buy all kind of junkies, i think that was what she thought.

I have severe backpain. It started during my previous pregnancy, in which i couldnt lie down face up at all! Kalau baring tak boleh bangun. Sakit pinggang rasa macam semua joint dislocated huuu. But then over the years, the pain lessened, only to be re-amplified during this pregnancy. Again, blame the hormone

So kalau nak tidur, selalu sendal bantal. Tidur mengiring, sendal bantal kat belakang pinggang, kat kaki, sendal pula depan perut haihhh. Lepas dah lama2 rasa fedup dan tak selesa, terus teringat kat pregnancy pillow.

So I googled for it, tengok harga bantal + 1 sarung rata rata dlm RM190-200. Ramai juga yang jual pada harga RM200++

Waaaa MAHALNYA! Untuk orang yang pandai jahit sendiri, memang terasa mahalnya huuu. Tapi sebab desperate nak cepat + tengah tak larat nak jahit, beli juga. RM190. Beli kat FB Pregnancy Pillow by Kak Lin.

So the new addition to my current pregnancy

Mine still hasnt arrived so takleh nak buat product review ;p

Unpaid Leave

Tonight, just like any night during this pregnancy, I cant sleep much. I will be awaken up by abdominal pain (gastritis), bloating and nausea. A sign that the stomach needs to be refilled... again.

Sometimes I go back to sleep, but on most nights, I spend 2-3 hours making a to and fro trip to the fridge, in between blank stares while sitting on the bed. Oh well, most of the time I stare at my sleeping child. When I manage to calm the gastric a bit, I perform Isya' and tahajjud prayer (I usually retire after maghrib, daily)

A month of unpaid leave means a lot to me. Means a lot to the arrogant me. Although I spend most of my time sleeping or throwing up, Allah has arranged just enough time for me to muhasabah. A life that I have lived, the dunya which I dont want to let go, a woman that I am now.

I miss abang so much, but I find it very hard to trust abang, I just cant explain why. But everything started coincidentally, so I guess it's the hormonal thingy which will pass away just like the hyperemesis gravidarum. Without basis. I find it hard to trust abang when he says I love you, I find it hard to trust him when he says the things that he says. Astaghfirullah. I try my best to pick up a fight which he dismisses effortlessly. Like seriously abang malas nak layan isteri ajak gaduh??? I feel like I am sacrificing here carrying his baby, and he is nowhere near to lend a helping hand. I wake up everyday and find my own food, prepare my own drink, on top of that I have to handle Ameer Faheem with Ummi's help. I feel like I go through this hardship alone, how can I not feel angry? But I forget 1 thing- I forget that abang is doing his best to fulfill the provision of the family.. kalau abang tak kerja macamana nak bagi nafkah pula kan?? isteri emo memang tak waras ok haha.

I always become moody when I feel so tested. Such as in this pregnancy. Down with all the early pregnancy symptom is nasty, but Allah has promised a wonderful reward should a woman be patient. Impatience. Sabar- that is 1 thing that I lack.

I woke up this morning with a very good mood. Abang is coming home in a week time, what could be more wonderful than that?? *all smile*  I planned for a haircut, for a spa visit just before he arrives, a new perfume and perhaps a new dress?? I promise myself not to miss my vitamin C to heal the acnes. Heeee. I was in such a good mood.

But the day turns out to be very bumpy. I was in bed almost the whole day, vomiting in between. and Ameer Faheem was mischievous, more than usual. If you havent grasped Ameer Faheem's character through my writings, let me tell you what Ummi has to say, "Ummi anak lima pun tak macam ni. Jaga Faheem sorang macam jaga 10 orang anak" That is my Ameer Faheem. A baby who turned prone before he reached 2 months old, who was very advanced physically, and who remains hyperactive till now. Everybody surrenders to taking care of him, and here I am struggling to make the best out of him.

Hari ni Faheem buat mommy menangis lagi. Menangis sebab rasa macam mommy gagal didik Faheem dan Faheem tak jadi macam anak sebaya yang lain. I felt so lost. Faheem kiss mommy non stop bila tengok mommy nangis. Basah habis muka mommy dengan air liur dia, mommy rasa nak muntah huuu. Dia pakaikan mommy jam (Faheem ni gila jam, so mungkin dia rasa mommy should feel happy bila pakai jam haha), dia usap2 kepala mommy. Kesian Faheem, Abang kata banyakkan berdoa, Faheem has sacrificed so much the past 4 years.. it is true, mungkin sebab Mommy n Daddy sibuk sangat di hospital sebelum ni, sampai takde masa untuk Faheem, Faheem jadi rebellious

When I woke up tonight, I sat on my bed and was reminded of abang's words, "Banyakkan Doa untuk Faheem" A serene night is a good time to ponder upon life. I realize one thing, Allah holds back something wonderful for Faheem because I refuse to let go of something that is so dear... sometimes we love something but we have to let it go in order to get something better.

I was a good medical student, from a good university insyaAllah. Well remembered by lecturers, with acceptable reputation. I was a good houseman, with good performance. I knew my superiors considered me as a a very reliable doctor. Almost everybody expected me to be a specialist soon, and I used to believe that. But reputation doesnt come easily without any sacrifices. I sacrificed my role as a wife and a mother. Our colleagues knew that abang has a brilliant wife but they dont know that abang has a wife who doesnt cook, doesnt breastfeed her child, doesnt teach Faheem how to read or potty-train him and doesnt do the things a wife-cum-mum should do.

We thought becoming an MO in Klinik Kesihatan would solve the problem. I have more family time. and would play better the role of a wife and a mum. But being the type A personality, I damn hate that. I dont want to be a clinic doctor, I miss the adrenaline rush working in a hospital, I hate it when abang (who works in Emergency Dept), sends me pictures of X Ray, of ECG asking for my opinion..because it emphasizes something that I am missing... the thrill of a doctor's life. Staying in the clinic (I'm sorry for being very frank) is very mundane and lame, continuing the same treatment all the time. I even ask abang whether I can join the hospital again. He never said no, but he wants me to be sure of what I am signing up to. But I know abang doesnt want that to happen..

Abang nak 10 anak, aku nak sorang je anak hehe. Kenapa susah sangat nak berkorban?? Kenapa? Kenapa??? And for that reason I promise myself if Allah grants me to transfer to Kedah, I really want to start anew.. I want to be the best mum, the best wife and I really want to let go the things that I should let go... even if it means giving up on my career.....

Ya Allah make things easy for me please... And in my Tahajjud today I found something which I have been missing for years... the serenity of tawakkal... And i found that during my unpaid leave...

Pregnancy is the happiest reason ever for feeling like crap!

Just in case you are wandering how does a mother inflicted with hyperemesis gravidarum (alahan mengandung) behaves....let me share the truth and nothing but the truth...

1. Sometimes they bath once every 2 days

2. AT MOST they brush their teeth once in a day, but the timing is not important. It doesnt have to be before bed or upon waking up in the morning. It can be during midday, evening or whenever she feels like it

3. Of course what they do best is vomiting. It can be mild effortless vomiting, it can be hard and strain all the abdominal and chest muscles, it can be sour and foamy- indicating gastric acid, or it can be greenish and bitter- bile, and most of the time the vomitus are flavoured! Mine was laksam, meatball, butterscotch, fruity taste and so much more.

4. They are also good at having abdominal distention, and *yucks* belch or pass flatus all the time.

5. They pat their tummy all the time, looking for that 'hollow' sound- angin

6. Frequent visit to the toilet indicating frequent urination (other than vomiting)

7. Backpain- My god, this feels like somebody has just hit my back with a wrench!

8. Smell- they dont smell nice nor do they look nice huuu

9. They 'crave' for certain food but usually they cant even look at it once the food is put in front of them

10. They shout and cry for no obvious reason

11. Suddenly they cant stand their husband or other family members, accusing them of offensive smell

12. They sleep longer than usual but most of the sleep are non-quality sleep. They wake up at short intervals

13. Acnes- as if the face is not enough, acnes also attack other areas such as neck and ear pinna!

14. Dont bother to ask them to do anything as the only thing they care about is their nausea, vomting and tummy discomfort

15. They whine about it all the time but sometimes they blog about it too.....

Well I can list down up to ...? 150 but I guess this should be enough for a birds eyeview ;P

Sanity sometimes can be missed!

Today I ask abang again to settle our transfer letter. Yes, we are going to apply for a transfer ;P hopefully it will be before my delivery is due. I dont know what Kedah has to offer us, but I know that I really want to move to Kedah.

Some people may think I may not be realistic because I am a dreamer. Yes I am a dreamer who take risks and strive to achieve my dreams! This blog which I started back in 2007 have witnessed my ups and downs, the risks that I took, the insane decisions that I made, and the achievements that has made me proud, Alhamdulillah :)

I know that I dont have a strong reason nor do I have a way or even bother to explain, but Kedah is the place where I want to start anew.To start carving my dreams from scratch, and to prove that a dreamer like me always have a plan laid out. The gnawing feeling from the delay in moving there simply put is exactly the same feeling in delaying our marriage, although at that point of time, the decision for 2 medical students living in 2 different continent, to get married was a totally insane decision! And the decision of these 2 medical students to have a baby during their final year was even more insane. No. I am not a person who leave things to chances. Everything was planned although the plan to some, may appear very crumbly and indefinite ;P

I dont ask for anything except for trust and prayer. I never offer any promise except that I'll stand up again if I fall. And for that 2 things, abang has managed to stick to this woman for years.

Trust me, I want to move to Kedah

Khabar saya di minggu ke 8

23 Januari 2015

Hari ni baby masuk 8 minggu. Masih dengan alahan. Dah lebih sebulan mengharungi alahan (bermula seawal kandungan berusia 4 minggu), tak nafikan rasa letih yang amat, breakdown, stress dan kerap menangis. Mengandung tak pernah mudah bagi saya. Tetapi jika dibandingkan dengan pengalaman lalu, ujian kali ini hanya secebis. Dulu saya alah sehingga saat ingin melahirkan, di sertai dengan macam2 masalah lain. Dulu saya tidak berpuasa Ramadhan sebulan penuh walaupun pada ketika itu kandungan sudahpun mencecah 5-6 bulan. Masih teruk muntah dan gastrik. Dulu dahlah tak berpuasa Ramadhan, abang tolong masakkan disiang hari. Bila balik kedah, mak pula yang sediakan nasi dan lauk. Malu pada orang berpuasa, tetapi itulah hakikat wanita mengandung, dalam keadaan yang begitu lemah sehingga mengharapkan ihsan insan lain.

Kali ini saya mengandung dengan Ameer Faheem, ujian pasti berbeza. Disaat diri terasa begitu lemah, saya tetap melayani kehendak Ameer Faheem. Basuh berak, mandi, sediakan makan minumnya, Mujur Ummi terlalu banyak membantu. Makan saya pun pada ihsan Ummi. Dia yang sediakan makanan, dia yang belikan keperluan roti, biskut, ubat dsb, dia yang basuhkan kain baju, dia juga yang cuci pinggan mangkuk.

walaupun Faheem kadangkala begitu nakal sehingga membuatkan saya menangis, tapi ada banyak waktu keletahnya menggelikan hati. Sebab dah biasa sangat tengok Mommy muntah, dia selalu pesan

"Kalau mommy nak muntah, mommy ambil plastik tau"
"Kalau mommy rasa nak muntah, mommy minum air teh tau"
"Kalau mommy nak muntah, mommy makan ubat tau" (sambil dia g check ubat saya atas meja dapur) "Ok good mommy, pandai mommy makan ubat" katanya bila nampak ubat saya ada yang dah dikoyakkan.

Saya tidur 12-14 jam sehari. Saya masuk tidur seawal 7.30 malam, sebaik selepas solat maghrib. Tapi jadual tak ubah macam orang yang sedang beastfeeding. Setiap 2-3 jam saya akan bangun isi perut. Perut akan terasa sangat pedih dan loya, kadang2 jika terlewat isi, akan bermulalah episod muntah muntah. Saya selalu bancuh teh panas untuk buang angin. Saya tidak pernah tinggalkan rutin makan ubat tahan muntah, ubat gastrik.

Selalunya Faheem masuk tidur lebih lewat. Semalam bila saya terjaga dalam 10pm, saya rasa ada banyak benda atas katil. Ada ball, ada ironman, ada berus gigi! Tak lama lepastu FAheem masuk bilik untuk tidur. Dia pun mulakan sesi pesan memesan macam orang tua

"Mommy, Faheem nak tidur dengan kuda 'mika mika' (macam tu kot sebutan, x pasti), ball, orang. Mommy tidur dengan berus gigi k" ??????? Apa bendalah dia suka merepek, patutlah ada berus gigi atas katil. "Kalau mommy rasa nak muntah, mommy pegang ball ni k, faheem bagi mommy pinjam" ????? Ball faheem tu boleh hilangkan loya ke??? Adoilah anak tapi mommy iye kan aje.

Pastu dia sambung
"Semalam Faheem rasa nak muntah, lepastu Faheem minum air atas lantai toilet, Pastu Faheem dah tak rasa nak muntah"

Euwwww semalam saya marah dia sebab ternampak sambil dia mandi, dia ambil air atas lantai toilet  dan buat kumur. Mommy semakin pening and rasa nak muntah T_T

Bila dah tak tahan sangat, saya mesti message abang dan cakap dengan abang, "ayang dah tak nak  mengandung dah lepas ni....:"

Berusaha untuk jadi lebih sabar!

Breastpump dah sampai!

Alhamdulillah semalam g buat dating scan ;P Baby dah 7 weeks Alhamdulillah, due date on 5/9/2015. Scan di Nex Radiology (NR), tempat buat detail scan Faheem dulu hehe. Pening bila bawa Faheem and Safiyya. Nampak macam mak anak ramai, suka gaduh plak tu.

Lepas buat scan, abang bawa makan di kedai mamak just across the road. Beli lamb chop, tapi tak lalu makan. boleh telan few french fries. Tapau bawa balik. Sampai rumah, solat and tidur sampai pagi. Bangun subuh, rasa lapar sangat, tetiba nampak lamb chop macam begitu menyelerakan. Panaskan dan makan habis licin! ;)

Sebenarnya nak bagitahu yang breastpump dah sampai semalam!! Haha excited. Tapi tak boleh nak buat breastpump review sebab tak pro pun dalam bab ni. Waktu lahirkan Faheem dulu, I used spectra 3. Tapi tak suka bp ni sebab few reasons. Paling tak suka sebab berat and tak handy. Pump dia bentuk kotak and leceh nak bawa ke mana mana. I think that was the main reason I stopped pumping. Tak lalu nak angkut bp tu ke hospital. Spectra 3 bising and sucking dia menyakitkan huuu.

I've also tried few other breast pumps such as Eve Love and Medela FS. Tapi tak berapa berkenan dengan suction both pumps, rasa macam tak boleh empty breasts. dua2 breastpump tu belong to my sisters, and diorang pun comment the same thing. Eve love dah selamat dijual kembali.

Initially nak sangat try snow bear kali ni. Baca review ramai orang kata best. Tapi takde double pump, so terpaksa reject. Finally I settle for Spectra M1. Ramai yang prefer this to Medela FS. So cuba nasib hehe. Dapat pakej murah, plus Spectra M1 compatible dengan Freemie Collection Cups, x payah beli extra tubing. Dah jimat di situ!

I bought from Hafsah Collection. Dapat pakej yang agak berbaloi. Spectra M1 + 8 storage bottles + Autumz cooler bag + 1 Ice brick
Semuanya for Rm499 alhamdulillah :)

Freemie Collection Cups

OMG I noticed 2 new acne today!!! Memang subur gila jerawat tumbuh. But this is nowhere near my experience pregnant with Faheem. Penuh jerawat 1 muka, muka berminyak gila2 and I think I looked so hideous like a 50 year old woman! Bukan setakat jerawat, tapi hyperpigmentation everywhere and stretch mark. Tapi Alhamdulillah semua hilang lepas bersalin.

Oh sebenarnya nak cerita pasal Freemie Collection Cups as promised ;P

Hari tu search pasal breastpump, terjumpa Freemie Cups (FC) ni. Terus rasa macam sangat practical dan wajib dimiliki. Of course orang first yang saya akan consult tentang benda2 macamni tentulah my sisters yang dua2 ada baby dan memang agak gila into baby stuff. Asma and Kakak kata benda ni receive many good reviews so i became more confident to buy. I tried to search pengalaman orang yang pernah guna ni dan ramai kata best. Tapi initially Asma cadangkan beli FC sekali dengan Freemie breast pump. Tengok harga sekali dengan postage lebih kurang 1.4k. Itu kalau beli direct dari Freemie (a US company) Kat Malaysia tak ramai guna Freemie breastpump rasanya tapi this pump memang receive good reviews. Padahal kalau pos ke US, harga lebih kurang RM700 je huhu.

Apa benda sebenarnya ni??

Ok kan biasa kalau beli breastpump, kita akan dapat breast shield yang disambungkan ke botol susu. Bila kita pump, susu akan terus masuk dalam botol. Masalahnya agak leceh sebab kita kena pegang botol tu dekat dengan breast. So tak handsfree.

Lepastu orang start guna handsfree breastpump bra which looks something like this. Still i think it makes a woman look like a female version of inspector gadget huhu, and I just cant imagine doing that at home or work

So FC kind of solve the problem. A woman only need to put the cups in their bra, and they can connect the tubing to a breastpump. Some put a small BP in their pocket or at their belt. A small and silent breastpump wont give you away, and you are free to pump anytime! In the clinic, while doing ward rounds etc.

Tengok harganya agak mahal. Rata rata jual dengan harga lebih kurang RM330. Rasa macam tak berbaloi beli cup sahaja dengan harga tu. Gigih search, akhirnya terjumpa satu kedai yang jual dengan harga RM249! Kebetulan saya beli breastpump yang compatible dengan FC, so tak perlu beli anti backflow yang berharga lebih kurang RM55.

Alhamdulillah dah jimat sikit :)

Milkman with fresh milk at my doorstep!

I woke up today with high hopes, but Allah knows best. Pregnancy is a bumpy ride, you just don’t know when you are going to hit the bump. And it turns out today is one of my bad day. The pregnancy symptom is a bit worse today and I’m on my back all day long.

I actually woke up at 3 am today. I don’t sleep through the night these days because of the gastritis. At most I need to fill up my stomache at 4 hourly interval. Sometimes 2 hourly or I’ll end up having a nasty vomiting. When I woke up, I was immediately reminded of a slot I heard in IKIM recently about Camel Milk. Susu Unta. A new enterprise that imports camel milk in 2 forms- fresh and premix. Switched on my laptop and searched hard, at 3am in the morning!

Last week I asked abang whether Rasulullah drank goat’s milk or camel’s milk. Abang said both. I want to minimize taking processed, flavoured and preserved food as much as possible during pregnancy and breastfeeding and throughout my whole life. I am done with Maggi. The writing 'monosodium gluatamate, colouring' glares at me and gave me nightmares T_T And I have promised myself that I will do whatever it takes to have a healthy baby weighing between 3-3.5kg at birth. Choosing a good milk is important in my knowledge and by maternal instinct haha

I drink ESP- Energizing Soy Protein. ESP is very good in my opinion as it gives me the energy that I need, rich in minerals and vitamins and it keep my skin health checked! But I also want to practice Sunnah. After much consideration (and I fail to find imported fresh camel milk) I resort to Goat Milk. I was very surprised to find that we can actually hire the service of a milkman! Right here in Malaysia. They deliver fresh goat milk right to our doorstep at an affordable cost!!! Oh yes, I was so excited that  after Subuh, I smsed this milkman asking whether he could deliver it today. He said yes, and I patiently waited ;P

He came at 3pm on a motorcycle. Ameer Faheem went to the gate, paid him and took the milk. Frozen. 12 bottles at RM68, 250ml. Coinicidentally his cousin safiyya was there. Safiyya tanya, “Apa ni?” Faheem answered, “Susu kambing untuk mommy and faheem” Eh??? Bila masa pula susu ni untuk faheem?? Hahaha. Tapi Faheem memang suka minum fresh milk pun, kalau beli susu lembu, sekejap je dah habis.

I put 1 bottle in the chiller and kept the rest in the freezer. The concept is similar to EBM. You have to thaw it first, and once thawed you cant put it back in the freezer. It has to be drank within 1-2 days, kept in the refrigerator. Rasa dia?? Extremely awesome Alhamdulillah J Rasa macam susu beli dalam kotak, tak berbau pun. And minum sejuk2 memang heavenly. Anything for my baby J Btw mommy terpaksa share dengan faheem huuuu.

So much to share, so much time to spare ahaha~

One thing that i never want to miss is writing a journal of my pregnancy journey. I am sure my kids will love to read them one day ;) as much as i love to listen to ummi's own experience.

I am now in my 10th week of pregnancy but the scan showed 6 weeks. I have to repeat it in 2 weeks time to reconfirm. I am entering my 2nd week of unpaid leave. And I am still down with nausea and vomiting, and abdominal bloating and light headedness and occasionally headache and diarrhea and no-appetite. oh well I can actually give a long list of absolute negativity, but hey I am pregnant! And that word kind of sum up all the wonders in this world ;) Plus what i am experiencing now is not even half of what i experienced during my 1st pregnancy, which was definitely WORSE!!!

Ameer Faheem is 4 years old. By the time I deliver this baby, he'll be almost 5. Everything is going according to the original plan Alhamdulillah. I have always wanted a 5 year gap between my children. I became very confident to get pregnant again because of Ameer Faheem.

My Ameer Faheem is still the same naughty and cheeky Faheem. I can turn into a monster, tarzan, troll or whatever whenever he is around. It is not easy to control a creature which the universe calls b-o-y. He sleep, play, eat and make me mad all the time hahaha. And give me the guilt for being such a momster (monstrous mom). But hey he is growing, he is smart and he is reliable now. He is good around babies and kids, his small cousins love him. He can make babies laugh and he somehow reminds me of my little sister Asma who was like the pied piper to small kids. Kids practically followed her around.

Ameer Faheem calls himself Abang Faheem, he keeps telling everybody that he wants adik, so I guess this is the right time to have another baby. I dont want to have another child simply of having another child. And I dont want to challenge my sanity taking care of a baby when Ameer Faheem himself doesnt understand what does a sibling mean, and try to abuse the baby at all time. Mothers have found their kids (who are still very young and being very clueless) trying to suffocate their babies with a pillow etc, and I dont want to encounter such happening. Thus I delayed till the right time arrives :) Alhamdulillah, thummalhamdulillah. All praises to Allah

Memang abang. Tidur gaya atuk.

Just before we moved to Kelantan, we had my IUCD removed. And since then I was amenorrheic. 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks. By then I suspected the pregnancy becuase I had few bouts of light headedness in which i almost blackout in the clinic especially when i try to stand from a sitting position. Few UPT (Urine Pregnancy Test) came back as negative. I let it be. Then came the flood. The massive and ugly flood in K. Krai. For almost a week we stayed in the Clinic, operating it 24 hours. I was tired, I was cranky and emotional, and I was nauseated at almost all time. I kept telling abang rasa nak muntah, rasa pening. And I kept asking abang the same question "Abang rasa ayang pregnant ke tak?" And he said "Kan dah check UPT hari tu, negative" Married to me for 6 years, abang knows his wife very well I guess. Isteri tak tahan duduk dalam keadaan banjir, takde air, takde elektrik, takde proper food, sebab tu tak sihat. At one point I myself believed that. It was just and adjustment thingy to the hardship during the flood. Yet at the back of my mind the issue lingered. I texted my bestfriend, Dr Hana. I asked her, "Hana, you rasa I pregnant ke x?" Hahaha boleh plak tanya kat orang macam tu ;p Hana cakap probably sebab baru buka IUCD, period tak regular.

And then we flew back to KL when abang got 2 days of holiday. I was still not feeling satisifed. Kakak gave me a pregnancy test kit, I tested and saw 2 lines! Alhamdulillah. I felt numb because I planned for the pregnancy, but definitely not in the disastrous condition of Kuala Krai....

My 5th UPT

will continue later ;)
