On Time Healing

I really thank God that he healed me just on time to celebrate Chinese New Year. Today, I gladly announce that I am completely healed. No more headache and no more sore-throat. I also got back my appetite last night. I ate a packet of Nasi Lemak topped with one hard-boiled egg and a piece of fried chicken. I will surely need the weight loss pills if my appetite continues to be this big. Furthermore, tonight we will start feasting till the 2nd night of Chinese New Year. We will start of with the reunion dinner, then steamboat or satay celup on the first night and BBQ on the 2nd night of Chinese New Year. Come join me! :D

Dear, I Need Leg Massage

Whenever I am awake when hubby returns home from work, I will request him to give me a foot massage and sometimes leg massage. Since a few months ago, when I am having my monthly period, I suffer joint pain too. No period cramp, no leg cramp but joint pain! I think this is due to me not following strictly the confinement do’s and dont’s. :( Too bad I can’t undo this. I can only make sure I keep my legs warm, eat more nutritious food and swallow the USANA supplements.

Oily Lunch

Today we were served with the most oily lunch ever! I can’t believe they let HER cook all our reunion dinner food last night. Nyonya food must be cooked by a Nyonya. No matter how good is a Chinese cook, they can never cook the Nyonya dishes like the Nyonya does.

The Pong Teh does not taste like Pong Teh at all; even my 6yo girl agrees to it! The Itik Tim lacks the sourish taste. The Sek Ak/Bak; I see the amount of oil floating in the bowl and the thick layer if fat on the pork, I don’t even dare to try. I am sure I would need the epiduo to prevent breakouts of I eat them. The Ayam Buah Keluak is way too oily plus other dishes also oily.

Our Indonesian maid cooks better Nyonya food that HER.

Still at 45kg

My weight is still hovering at 45kg, plus minus 0.5kg. So far, breastfeeding is still the best weight loss pills for me. However, I don’t drink Milo as often as before, I eat lesser rice and I don’t take supper whenever possible. It is because, my baby is more on solid now and he is drinking lesser breastmilk now. So, I can’t be eating as much as before if I want to maintain this ideal weight.

Maid is Fatter, Ma’am is Thinner

MIL’s maid really had a good life in KL; small house without huge compound to maintain and good food everyday. She is fatter now!

Two days ago, I bought her a blouse for Chinese New Year. It was M size but it was fitting for her. She them told me that she has put on weight. So I went to change it to L size; not fitting but I can see her bulging tummy! She has really put on weight!!! Must introduce weight loss products to her lar. :lol:

She told me that besides not much to be done in BIL’s house and eating a lot there, she is excited thinking that she is going home soon. Senang hati!

Only this Ma’am susah hati. :P

PMS - Pimples

I know that my menses is coming soon when I see pimples start to pop out everywhere. I really meant everywhere; places that you can never imagine pimples would emerge. :P Since I am married with 4 kids, I don’t really bother about them unlike when I was a teenager. I will freak out when one pimple pops out and will try my best to look for the best acne treatments that is within my means.

Just When I Am About To Get Excited

I was very excited that we are finally going for a date again. Just hubby and I. We made a reservation to watch Avatar 3D tomorrow afternoon and our children will be in the safe arms of my parents.

Just when I am about to get excited, my right tummy pain became more intense and I was so tempted to pop in painkillers if I can find any. While bathing with the children, the pain was so intense that I raised my voice at them when they dilly dally. I felt very bad after that.

I called hubby hoping that he can come home to prepare dinner for our children and take care of them for a little while while I lie down to let the tummy muscle relax and get some rest. Unfortunately, his helper did not come in yet and he is not sure whether she will come in or not.

I can’t get help from my parents coz they are attending a wedding dinner.

What to do? Cry lor and ask God for help. Thank God the crying and praying helps to release the tense and the pain subsided a little bit and I quickly prepare dinner for my children before they starve.

Just when they are enjoying their burgers, hubby came home. :D His helper came in. Yay! PTL!!!

Wrinkle Cream

That is what I need to get the next time I have time to go shopping. I read from www.wrinklecreme.net that Dermavexin is the top 3 best wrinkle creams but I don’t think I can find any here. Buying from their website is another option but the shipping rate is double than the price of the wrinkle cream! I guess, I will try the wrinkle cream that I can find locally first to see whether it works. If not, I have no option but to spend more for beauty sake. ;)

Do I Have Eczema?

I am wondering whether I have eczema or just sensitive skin. On certain days, I will be scratching away on my legs especially at the front lower part. I have not tried eczema cure because I am not so sure what causes it. Visiting skin specialist would cost me a bomb. Since it is still bearable, I bear with it. I just make sure that I wash my legs thoroughly after going out; especially when I go to the farm where the grasses all long.

Worry No More

My eldest girl has started primary school and I hope waking up early and going for dance class would help her lose some weight. She has her daddy’s build and low metabolism rate. Dieting or taking weight loss product itself is not sufficient for them to lose weight. They must exercise and sweat it out. Now I worry less about my girl’s weight so dancing is very tiring. Yesterday was her first class and I was so glad to see that she sweats a lot during the lesson. :D

Look Young

Since I gave birth to my 4th child, I lose a lot of weight. People thought that I took phentermine. Well, breastfeeding and singlehandedly taking care of 4 young children burns lots of calories! I am having my youth weight and new people I met complemented that I look very young and was so surprise when I told them that I have 4 children and the youngest is an 8 months old baby. Hubby was telling me that it is how God compensates those that bore many children. How true is that?

Sleep Deprived

Yesterday was the first time I slept 3 hours only without any nap in the afternoon. Surprisingly, I did not feel sleepy at all until I brought my girl back from her school extra curriculum activity in the evening. Once I sat on the sofa and relax, the sleepiness strikes. I tried to nap but my mind could not stop thinking because there are still chores undone. I only managed to finally sleep at around 11pm that night. If this continues for a long term. I will surely need to read up on the eye cream reviews to get rid of the eye bags.

Acne at Odd Places

I have an uncle that has flawless face. No scar and not a single acne on his face. I really envy him and was wondering how he took such good care of his face and where did I went wrong. Until one fine day, I saw him topless. The moment he turns his back towards me, I saw a whole patch of acne on his back. So there is where he hides his acnes. Since they are easily covered up, he did not go for any body acne treatments.

Stress Buster

How to release stress? There are lots of way of releasing stress. Some go to Outer Banks vacation rentals, some go for bungee jumping, some just go for a stress therapy massage, some eat and eat and eat…just do something that will take off your mind of the cause of the stress.

I just realized that I have a stress buster with me 24/7. Here is my stress buster…

bb

My ever smiling cutie pie. :D

When I need someone to make me smile; his smiles melts my heart and can never make me not smile along with him.
When I need someone to hug; he is so huggable.
When I need someone to cuddle; he is so squishy.
When I need someone to enjoy a makan with; he loves food.
When I need someone to scream, he will scream along with me.

etc…

Life would be sooooo stressful is God did not bless me with this cutie pie. :D

Putra Specialist Hospital

My 3yo son was admitted there for 1.5 days and we paid almost RM1k for that. There goes our holiday budget for next year. I must refrained myself from planning any holiday for us next year until I can get enough income to replace that amount. Now I am asking quotation for cheapest family health insurance. It is so expensive to get specialist and special treatment from private hospital. When I registered my son at the hospital, first thing they ask, “Does your son have health insurance?” When meeting the Paediatrician, the same question was asked too! Looks like annual travel insurance have to wait since we don’t go traveling every year.

I am Not Incapable

I wish the family does not have to come back this weekend because I do not want them to think that I cannot run this household with any helper. But they will come back because there is a close relative wedding this weekend. So, I am praying hard that I will be completely healed by the time I wake up (coz it is 12.47am as I am typing this). So many things to do and so little time. I fell sick at the wrong time!

Tooth Filling

I recently discovered that there is a hole in my right bottom molar but have no time to visit the dentist yet coz my baby needs my boobs almost every hour during the day. I can’t be breastfeeding him while the dentist fill my molar! Then I read from FB that filling cost is so expensive now and I think Plano cosmetic dentist can offer better price. So, I am thinking of just going to the government clinic to get it done but the queue is sure to be very long. Not convenient for a breastfeeding mommy like me.

Rainy Season

It has been raining almost everyday and the weather is so cold. My fan is only spinning at level 1. In times like this I wish I have a heater with furnace filters that can filter germs that flying in this room. I’m not well today. Feel giddy when I stood up and walk and will surely vomit when I walk too much. So far by now (10pm), I vomited 4 times already. I have been sleeping the whole day and now only I am a lil bit fresh and awake coz I just vomited! I told my children that tomorrow they can take leave from going to kindy coz I worried I cannot wake up! They are VERY happy. Please pray with me that I will be well ASAP.

I Poisoned My Dear Husband???

He entered the room looking very sick. “I just vomited outside. I think it is food poisoning.”

Is he implying that I am trying to poison him? That was my first thought because I was the one who cooked his lunch and dinner.

Then he said that maybe the food container was not washed properly. Hmmm…I did not do a good job washing his food container?

Then he said that the water at his shop was not clean enough and he washed the container there. Maybe the bacteria was from the water at his shop.

Then I got up (it was 1am by then) and went to wash his food container again for today’s usage.
