Hallo zusammen!

 1. 2022 ist mein achtes Jahr in als Lehrerin in Mersing.

2. Ich bin gerade mit meinem 2. Kind schwanger.

3. Mein erstes Kind ist 3 Jahre alt. Sie hat im Juli Geburtstag. 

Das ist alles!

Two pregnancy check-ups later...

Hello! I'm still standing!

The last check up was uneventful, Obimin dekat KK dah habis so I had to buy my own at a pharmacy.  Harga 30 tablets =  RM18.00. Nurse offer pil 4 serangkai but I refused. But then I read that pil 4 serangkai tu, walaupun leceh dari segi pemakanan, tapi lebih efisien dari segi penyerapan dlm badan.
I still have sembelit. 2L air sehari is a must, no less. Sekali masuk toilet mesti kena spend 10 minutes to coax things out hahaha.
During last week's checkup - I was 16 weeks pregnant - we found out that berat I naik 2.4 kg dalam sebulan. So nurse bebel. Dia kata banyak sangat naik.. Sepatutnya awal-awal ni, 0.5 - 1.0 kg sahaja. So she put me on probation and I kena datang klinik lagi dalam masa dua minggu. Jadual check up dkt KK, kalau ade problem, checkup 2 minggu sekali, kalau takde problem, sebulan sekali. Masa timbang tu dia macam dah nak suruh minum air gula lagi, but I said, kita tunggu dua minggu lagi, tengok berat naik tak baru lah decide. So now, I'm on diet. (NOOTTTT. Tadi petang I habiskan sepinggan pisang goreng cheese, Hazrul tengok je, dia tak makan. Haha)
Bila penat, perut I akan sakit, especially bawah perut tu. Oh ye, I am not thin, so perut I memang dah nampak la. Orang akan tanya berapa bulan, so bila I jawab, mostly orang ckp ehhh besarnye perut! Tapi tadi siang, bila I bagitau berapa bulan, orang cakap, ehh kecik je perut. Hahaha. Whateverlah uols.
I'm still trying to minimize my movements and slowing things down. Hopefully Pinat is OK inside.
Two hours ago, I thought I felt Pinat kicking. Rasa macam ade belon isi air dalam perut, pastu belon tu bergegar. I dont know yet how does it really feel when the baby kicks, but I hope Pinat is healthy and thriving, and kicking around for Hazrul to feel at least within the next three weeks. It's so lovely, the feeling that our love is growing healthily.

I am looking around for antenatal class and clinics to do detail scan, and also the 3D 4D 5D scans.. Will update soonestttt

My Primigravida Experience

In case you're wondering, primigravida means first pregnancy!

Yes you read it right. I am pregnant with our first baby! Hehe. We got through the first trimester so I believe its safe now to announce the upcoming arrival of our bundle of joy. I want to record everything here so I don't forget.

My 13 weeks of pregnancy so far

1. Started taking multivitamins on 7th November 2019. Throughout the month, my GPK HEM was telling me not to lift heavy things, not to do tiring activities etc. She said it's dangerous because I'm pregnant. I waved away what she said because I didn't know then. But at around the same time when my period was about to start, my breasts started aching. It was really painful. I really wanted a baby at this time, been reading a lot about the first symptoms... So I started watching myself for signs. Energy level was normal at this time, I have no other problems.
2. Masuk bulan Disember, haid masih tak datang. I was between sure and unsure. My breasts were still aching. Nak mandi pun susah. Early Dec, Haz and I pergi honeymoon at Krabi. Hari pertama was OK. Masuk hari kedua, kepala I pening. I blamed it on the constant moving and food. Yelah tempat baru kan. Tapi still pegi naik bot, snorkeling, went to Emerald Pool and walked around town. Kepala I pening all the time! Pening dia mcm nak muntah tapi takde la rasa nak muntah lagi time ni. But I don't want to just stay in the room and waste time and money spent. Masa ni tenaga pun dah kurang. On the trip to Emerald Pool, we took almost 45 minutes to walk 800m. Kesian Haz, he had to follow my pace. But I was so tired, head reeling, pushing myself to go forwards because I want to. Luckily baby is safe... all that activity...
3. Balik dari Krabi, I had to go back to Mersing sebab nak distribute result PT3. Masa dkt rumah mmg I pun baring je and xnak buat ape2, tapi ingatkan sebab jetlag ke apa ke. 12.12.18 I balik Mersing, 14.12 tu balik Melaka and 15.12.2018 balik KL semula. Mak drove me from Ayer Hitam to Melaka. Bila dah sampai Melaka, I muntah in the car. Mak dan ayah kept on asking questions sampai la diorg satisfied, diorg cakap, betul lah tu dah mengandung... hahaha. I went on to watch Fantastic Beasts 2 with Mira that evening.
4. On 16.12.2018 baru Haz dapat bawak I pegi klinik. And the doctor straight away told me to lie down for an ultrasound. 



Here's Pinat!

5. We saw baby Pinat for the first time.. Pinat was 7 weeks old. well, Pinat was shaped like a peanut at that time and that was why I decided for "Pinat"! And siap ade heartbeat lagi. Masa tu confused gila haha I heard a dumdumdumdumdum sound pastu doc ckp itu jantung baby... and I said "Oh, tu?" and doctor said aik mcm barang je you cakap. Haha. and then I asked the assistant to call Hazrul outside. He came in smiling. Well, he's a smiler. Doctor bagi folic acid pills. It cost Haz RM90 for the whole session.
6. So I teruskan being pregnant. Problem is, the moment I tau mengandung, badan dah ready to spill out the signs.. I pening, muntah muntah muntah every morning. Ade sekali tu tengah breakfast dengan Mak Inn, then I pegi muntah. Duduk balik dekat meja n masa tu memang rasa awkward sangat xtahu nak buat apa... tapi sebab segan dgn mak mertua, I sambung je makan nasi yg tinggal lagi sikit. That afternoon she said 'Lalu plak kau makan, kalau mak, dah kembang dah tekak," hahahahhaha
7. The good thing about muntah masa Haz ade is dia kesian dengan I. And also I learnt kalau tengah muntah n ade orang urut belakang leher, you feel better faster. But then, I muntah a lot only when I dengan bapaknye. Bila dah balik Mersing ni muntah subside gitu2 je. Selamba je Pinat.
8. I finished the school holidays, then Mak Asnah n Mira ikut balik Mersing on 25.12.2018. Okey je la the journey, muntah biasa je. Masa tu nak buat buku pink. My friends told me klinik nak IC original suami la, ape la itu la ini la... so I started getting worried sebab memang I nak buat dkt Mersing tapi takkan nak cilok IC Haz plak bawak balik. I called klinik Melaka sebab nak buat dkt Sg Udang la, Haz n I are coming back to Melaka at that time. Kena marah wooooo dengan akak KKSU! Apetah garang beno. I call klinik Tenglu dia cakap, dtg jelah, xyah bawak ape2, bawak IC je. hahahah. Punye la rilek.
9. Anyhow, untuk daftar buku pink, kena bawak 2 salinan IC sendiri, IC suami, n surat/sijil/kad nikah sahaja. Semua fotostat je ok! Pastu kalau korang dah buat ultrasound, bawak la gambar baby tu masa checkup.. some clinics nak proof kita da mengandung, tapi Klinik Desa dekat Mersing ni taknak pun. Dia celup je pH stick dlm urine dia da tau da kita mengandung ke tak kan.
10. So I daftar on 30/12/2018. Klinik Kesihatan ni biasanya dibahagi ikut zon. First time I datang tu hari yang salah, not for my zone. Tapi punyelah degil.. nak jugak buat. So misi bagi check gigi je. Dia suruh datang lagi 2/1/2019. I malas nak datang bila da start sekolah, leceh. Weols kan love the school very muchhh.
11. 2/1/2019 kira check betul-betul la. Test urine, timbang berat (gila!), baring, dia uli2 perut, questions this and that... and dia bagi appointment 7/1/2019 minum air gula (MGTT test). Week 10 da minum air gula. The reasons are I am over 30 years old and according to my BMI, I am obese. Ade ke patut. I went meekly after fasting for 8 hours that night (beginning 10pm). The nurse took a whole syringe of blood from my left arm and asked me to drink the solution. I drank in three gulps. It wasn't that bad.. It wasn't delicious but it was not horrible either. Dah habis minum air gula tu, terus I minum air putih depan misi sebab tekak tak sedap manis sangat. Dia kata takpe, boleh minum. Then I went home and tried to sleep. One time nak termuntah air gula nye but I telan balik kihkih. 2 hours later I went to the clinic again and the nurse took another whole syringe of blood from my right arm. Then I went back to school and ATE.
12. On 2/1/19 the nurse at KD gave me Obimin because my blood pressure was low for a pregnant mother. It was 11.7. Nurse cakap, nearing the end of the pregnancy ianya akan turun dan turun and it's dangerous for the baby and me. Obimin ni ade zat besi, folic acid dan dah lupa vitamin ape lagi satu. Cara nak makan Obimin ni ialah masa perut kosong. My dilemma is, kalau perut kosong, straight away loya and nak muntah. So masa awal-awal tu memang tak ambik la Obimin tu. Hari pertama makan pukul 6 pagi. Konon-konon bila sampai sekolah, pukul 8 dapat makan nasi. Pastu gi minum plak dengan air lemon. Amek ko, muntah oren. Sampai sekolah sambung muntah dalam surau, tak larat nak pegi perhimpunan. Then melepek lagi dekat  bilik kaunseling sampai balik, tak larat nak masuk kelas. So nowadays I makan Obimin sebelum tido je. Tapi, dalam Obimin ni kan ade iron. So sebenarnya dia boost energy. So jadi lah hari-hari I bangun pukul 5 pagi. Xpa lah asalkan x muntah.
13. Everything went fine. On busy days, I can feel my tummy tightening it's almost painful. Whenever I meet the daddy, I will feel nauseous and vomit. But when there are only the two of us in Mersing, Pinat behaves well. So well that I thought my morning sickness has already ended.. This was week 11. Secara kebetulan I read a post on Facebook, where a few mothers share that their morning sickness ended abruptly, before the first trimester, without any other signs. They went for a checkup and saw that they are no longer pregnant. I was so paranoid! I bagitau mak ayah dan sudah tentulah I kena marah. Haha. I told Haz, and he brought me for another ultrasound. I'm sorry Pinat! Jantung dia beats for us to see, and Pinat was jumping all over that I forgot to call Pinat's daddy to come see. This session cost him RM60.00.

    The acrobatic Pinat

15. I came back to Mersing, and today, 27/1/2019 was another ultrasound appointment. Doktor at Klinik Tenglu kira balik EDD and found out that it was supposed to be 2 days earlier, 2/8/2019 bukan 4/8/2019.  I am also no more obese, I lost around 2.5kgs. But I am still required to do another MGTT test in the 28th week of pregnancy. And another ultrasound scan too. Hehe. 4 more months. Let's see if we don't go for our own scan at a clinic. I have another appointment with another doctor on 29/1/2019 at KD Sawah Dato for a tummy check.

Here's Pinat from today. I think tu bontot dia. Or kepala? I don't know anymore haha

That's it! 13 weeks of pregnancy so far. Will record more often as to avoid a really lengthy post! We love you Pinat the Precious, stay strong!

p/s: On some days I'm very weak, very tired, my body aches all over and I just want to rest. Bear in mind that it is okay for you to rest. You don't have to prove anything. What matters most is the safety of the baby. Good luck mummy!

p/p/s: Daddy, mamy n Pinat nak pegi Cameron!

I GOT MARRIED!

Right now, this guy here is my most favourite person in the world and after the world and beyond, past the edge of the galaxy.

Pardon the size of the picture, I am too lazy to do something to it. I got married on 18 August 2018. The decision for the date went on in a blur. I know I wanted to marry Hazrul, but it kinda went swooooshhh and voila! Suddenly we have a date.

Thankfully his family are fine with the rushed decision.

I was a bit annoyed at first, when I learned that Ena is also marrying her husband on the same day. But then, the cost for the pelamin was cut into half ahahaha

Well 2018 (so far) was a good year. Started off with a bit of a fever (aftermath of the 'Umrah), head still reeling with the fact that I'm gonna marry Haz in eight months, all the emotional turmoils... but it all slowly fell perfectly into place. But today - two months into the marriage - I still haven't cooked him anything except for a measly piece of meat last two weeks. He's still buncit anyway.

Last week, our school won first prize in a national competition. We worked hard on the smart city model for two months - winning was really satisfying. I loved it. Hazrul was there when they announced us winning! I think this was also the reason the win was sweeter. Then, went back to Melaka with my husband and spent two days smelling him. Haha. He doesn't smell. Tak tipuuuuuu. I tried to pick his clothes to put in the wash but could not differentiate which one is dirtier.

Anyhow before you get cringed off by me telling you more things about Haz, I'll stop here. I'm very behind with all my administration work. I had to juggle organizing this morning's prize giving ceremony with the STEM city competition. It was hard. But all that sweat was worth it.

Looking forward for the honeymoon trip with Hazrul in December, and then the school holidays. I didn't manage to convince him to rent another house for the month ahahahaha so we are staying with his family. Hopefully I can manage!

Here's another picture of us looking immensely awkward.

Haha.

B2B post: Photobooth

I have around RM500 budget for photobooth. However, I am still deciding whether I nak guna ke tak duit tu.. or maybe buy something else.

This is because although photobooths is veery pretty, but I dont have that many friends yang akan datang.. so orang kampung yang datang nanti bukannya nak amek gambar pun dkt situ.. sedihlah. haha.

but I am loving the idea of a white background, and fairy lights. Ideas by Farah has very pretty photobooths but she caters seremban and selangor only.. sad.

There is also photobox options. but it costs RM900 minimum and I am not willing to spend that amount of money on other people.. kalau closed event with friends and family xpelah.

will update with my decision soonessstttt

Bride to Be katanyerr

I only wanted to put in the sticker actually. Hehe. Should have done it two months ago.

Update: Apparently I don't know how to paste it permanently in the blog. So here it is, at the top of this post.

Starstruck

Maybe why some people nak pergi dinner dengan celebrity ialah for the after feeling: seronok nak mampos because you know it's a one time thing, you might not get the same chance again. Yelah tu. Ada benda yang kita seronok sangat sebab dapat sekali je. Lepas tu tak dapat lagi dah.

Tapi memang seronok I cannot I must die.

Next week ade meeting dengan Daimler at the Ampang office, I'm so gonna get grilled.
