The Sweet New Year

Hi all,

Happy 2010!!!!

How are you guys doing so far? With the resolutionssss and all hehehe..

We didn't celebrate much this year (as if we did previously, duh~~), but we went to the Curve on 31st evening only to find out that they are having this big concert with a lot of prominent artists!

MrComot: Kalau you tak preggy me dah ajak u stay to watch the fireworks

Haha..seriously, I don't have that energy to join the crowd la. Terberanak kang.. We were out from the Curve right before the rush, around 6PM.

Jaclyn Victor rehearsing

Other thing also changed since I'm heavily pregnant, we didn't host MrComot's ritual BBQ party (he's been doing this every year before married to me). But I think the other fellas also not that available that day since nobody 'kepochi' about it.

Since we only have each other that night and nothing in the freezer for dinner and both are to lazy to go out, I decided to whip out a simple pancake recipe taken from here - Pinkstilettos. I made half of the batter by the way. Again, this is my first time doing it and it's super easy, so I highly recommend this mix.

It's more or less like making a 'lempeng' only that, lempeng is very traditional, only flour + water + egg + salt whilst this mat salleh recipe have to add milk and oil. Since it's easy peasy, I don't have any tips to share only that be careful not to burn it!!

Like we did on the first pancake haha

The other pancakes turn out beautiful

Our new stock (this is why we went to Curve previously, just to get this!) - choc chip, nutty coconut, belgium choc cake, and rum & raisins. The Curve outlet has limited choices by the way, I'm still waiting for baseball nut and love potion :(


MrComot's - he 'design' this himself ok. We have this competition, whose pancake look nicer, boleh? If u notice, siap ada cherry toinggg sebijik on the smaller pancake hahaha. He's not a fan of cherries, but for the sake of photographing..sabar jer la.


Mine, stacked with lotsa berries and cherries.

MrComot was so funny ok. He refused my snapshot because he said I made his pancake look ugly. Eeiiiii.... so I let him taking all the shots and you should see him - with acrobatic positions to snap his pancake :P

So whose is nicer? :P

We had this in front of the TV watching channel-to-channel. We planned to eat Maggie mee if still hungry afterwards but surprisingly, the pancake is really fulfilling. Too bad we didn't have honey in hand, I can have it on its own without the choc sauce and icecream.

So that will be our new year celebration this year.

Talking about this I remember that I never really have resolution for the previous years because I don't see the point of having it (and not achieving it lalala) but I have ONE this year!

I determine to cook more in order to save more so that I can have more savings and use the money, hmmm for a lot of leisure thing! Yeayy! Can't wait to do this, semangat ni hehehe

Oh ya, other than material thing, I want to be a better person, spiritually but that one goes without saying I guess.

So what's urs?


Wishing you guys a great year ahead and enjoy ur life to bits ok! Mwahhhhhhhhhh

Eco Friendly Xmas

We went to Jusco AU2 last weekend because it was under construction when I left Setiawangsa and I just wonder how it looks like. Surprisingly it's quite big but I still prefer JJ Wangsa Maju. And now they have Wangsa Walk, need to compete real tough. Anyway below is some random pictures..

Lunch that day, nasi ladna with honey dew bubble tea.

Their food court - very colourful and clean. I like the idea that you don't have to take the receipt and go pay at a specific counter. You can pay at the counter itself now. I don't what if this also applied to 'old jusco'.

And got free wifi! Everywhere got free access nowadays.


They don't use TM btw :P


The eco friendly decor - using egg cartons. It varies on location, I read that one Jusco is using mineral bottles as the decor. Not so sure where is it. Crafty but less exciting :P



Ps: Andes is already in holiday mood but will try to drag her ass writing as usual :D

Confinement Plan

Nothing much on work today, I guess everybody is already in holiday mood. Finally I can shake my sleepyhead off, but still I'm so lazy to study or do anything related with work (erkkk).

So this morning is spent with movies searching for me to download - to watch during confinement. I know I'll be very busy attending the little one later, but I think I can catch a movie or two during breastfeeding her :D

Since my pregnancy, I only managed to watch 1 movie only, G-Force. So I have lotssss to catch up. So far, this is my current torrent list that is being downloaded. The server has a limited space (only 3Gb at a time), so I need to download 'em batch by batch.

1st batch running:

*** Upload: 11.30 KiB/s | Download: 506.20 KiB/s | Peers: 93/220

Anyway looking at my long list, MrComot said:

"Cartoon je memanjangggggg"

"Me need happy movie so that me can produce milk tau"

"Ohhh hubby tak make u happy ke? :(("

"Ishh..me nak watch while hubby pegi keja laaa"


Kannnnnn. Over la pakcik ni. I noticed that him become more 'manja' lately. In fact, there is a few time he will say something like this


"Nanti baby come out mesti you sayang baby lagi kan"

"Mana ada..both are my babies, mesti la me sayang you sama jugak"

"No la...it's reality, because the baby has been inside you for 9 months, so u'll love her more"


Haha.. I thot only women have this pre-natal blues.

Sugary baby

I had another checkup yesterday with Dr Fidak. As I mentioned before, this week I have to do MOGTT - the sugar test.

They gave me a 75g dextrose and to tell you the truth, the taste is not bad, something like F&N orange, only minus the gas. I don't feel like to vomit (like what other mommies always tell) but I do feel nausea after finishing the whole thing. Serious rasa nak pitam sangat that I wish I don't have to go through this procedure again in the future.

My first sugar reading (I had to fast) was 4.9 which is very good and after consume the sugar my reading shoot up to 9.8. I had to wait an hour and take another reading, estimation should be below 8. Unfortunately my reading maintained at 9.0 and Dr Fidak shoved me to dietrician for consultation.

Anyway I think we read it wrongly because I took the sugar 15mins later, so I had to wait for another 15mins before the last reading. The thing is, I only notice this timing-tak-kena after waiting for dietrician, I browsed my camera and look at the timestamp (MrComot captured my pic drinking the sugar). But nevermind lah, we still go see the dietrician.

The dietrician went through me with a long checklist and the outcome is - I am fine. I don't have to retake the test or to blood-test-before-and-after-eating-thing. She said my reading goes down very slow because 75g is too much for me and I'm not used to it. Yeayyy! Mommy and baby is fine.

I also provided with admission letter and my EDD will be 14 Jan 2009. OMG, suddenly I feel so scared, it's just around the corner! *shiver* *shiver*

I add the text to cover the IC number and macam ok la pulak jadi watermark kan? It's super easy to do btw...maybe I can consider watermarking all my pics after this hmmm


Including the admission slip, they also give me a list for my hospital bag. Looking at it, I was like "OMG, apsal my hospital list before this macam complicated giler?" hahaha

The list

Oh ya, on baby updates, my little one already at 2.8kg and even though she is engaged, the head still facing upfront (profile position). It will be best if she can turn the face down. Dr Fidak tipped me that I have to banyakkan baring mengiring.

My gynea will start to see me every week after this. Hope everything goes well, pray for me ya :)

Gonna update again, mwahhhhhhhhhhh!
