TTC - Bulan Kedua

28 Nov 2010

28^th November was the Day 1 for this cycle.

Mulai dari D1, aku amalkan makan tauge yg aku semai sendiri dari kacang hijau, minum soya tiap2 ari.. dan teruskan amalkan sumer supplements yang aku da amalkan sebelum ni. Tp aku dpt 1 info, bagi yg sedang TTC, EPO hanya boleh dimakan dari hari pertama period sehinggalah hari yang dijangka subur. Selepas hari subur, jangan makan EPO kerana EPO berfungsi untuk meregularkan period dan menggalakkan period. So, takut kalau2 da ade percantuman sperm & ovum berlaku, jika masih mkn EPO akan mengganggu proses implantation iaitu proses fetus utk lekat di dinding uterus, dan menyebabkan gagal hamil. Cuma ambil EPO dari D1 untuk membantu penghasilan telur yang subur..

Selain itu, I ate raisins everyday dari D1 sampaila the expected ovulation day. Ramai kata raisins adalah makanan untuk menigkatkan kesuburan wanita.

I avoid coffee, tea, soft drinks.. sbb dalam byk artikel mngatakan benda2 ni sumer can jeopardize the chances to get pregnant.

I even went buy a mini stepper to use during my exercise.. sbb nk kurangkan berat badan, supaya senang mengandung. Dah almost 2 weeks I’ve been doing exercise with my mini stepper every day. 15 minutes on the machine & another 15 minutes doing the basic pilates. Hope I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.. get pregnant soon & at the same time can slim down my butt & my thigh… J

Today, 23^rd Dec adalah sepatutnya D1 in my cycle yg baru… harap2 Aunt Flow x dating ari ni, sok, lusa.. sampai la tahun depan… Amin..

TTC - Bulan Pertama

Bermula dari Nov 2010, kami decided to TTC. I tried various things.. makan itu, makan ini.. rendam tauge pon da buat..

Dalam seminggu sebelum November berakhir, I was sick.. demam & pedih ulu hati.. & I threw up 1 time.. Mr Husband asked, ‘Baby pregnant ker?’.. I replied, ‘I don’t know, but I do hope so’..

Tapi nampak nyer, November bukan rezeki kami lagi.. betul genap pd tarikh yang dijangkakan iaitu 28 Nov 2010, Aunt Flow pagi2 lagi da menampakkan dirinya.. rasa kecewa..

Xperla.. baru 1 bulan mencuba..

So, 28 Nov is my new day 1 for the cycle.. & since I have 25 days cycle, so my expected Day 1 for the next cycle will be on 23^rd Dec 2010..

Harap2 Aunt Flow will not come & visit us..

Tips Untuk Senang Hamil

Aktiviti aku skrg, google pasal cara2 nak senang hamil. Macam2 tips aku jumpa.. dari yang simple, pasal makanan & supplements.. sampaila pada tips yg da agak 18sx ckit. Mane yang aku leh buat.. aku buat la...

Antara tips yang aku jumpa;

1. Amalkan mengambil Folic Acid - ni mmg ari2 aku mkn.. tp makin gemuk ade la.. tp aku baru TTC sebulan.. sebelum ni aku mkn sbb aku sakit.. doc suh mkan.. sabar2..

2. Amik Evening Primrose Oil - Ni pon mmg aku da amalkan berbulan2 lepas.. sbb ramai kta elok utk psoriasis, sendi dan utk awet muda..

3. Makan Omega 3 - Ni pon mmg aku amalkn.. sbb sama seperti sebab no 2 tadi..

4. Calendar Kesuburan - Aku cuba follow calendar kesuburan ni yang aku dapat dari 1 website.. berdasarkan tarikh period aku yang lepas, ni la calendar yang aku kna ikut;

Tapi misi bulan Nov 2010 ni nampaknya terbengkalai sebab betul pada tarikh max fertility da few days after that, hubby demam.. so x dpt la kami TTC...

Lepas dia baik demam, aku pulak la sambung demam.. haih..

5. Minum air rebusan tauge - ni aku lum cuba lagi.. tapi rasa nya aku perlu cuba secepat mungkin!!!

Begini petuanya :

- Ambil segenggam kacang hijau.
- Rendam kacang hijau itu selama 2 hari (sampai tumbuh ekor anak tauge kira-kira panjang ekor itu menjadi 2 kali panjangnye kepala tauge).Air rendaman tu hendaklah sama aras dengan kacang hijau (bagi kacang tu tenggelam dalam air).
- Tutup bekas tu (kalau nak mudah, rendam guna periuk)
- Bila dah jadi anak tauge, cuci dan buang kulit hijau yang ada (kulit kacang hijau)
- Rebus tauge itu dengan 2 gelas air kira-kira dalam 15 minit dengan api sederhana.
- Apabila air rebusan itu dah tinggal jadi separuh. Tapis & ambil air rebusan yang tinggal (kira-kira dalam segelas)
- Minum air rebusan itu tiap-tiap pagi bermula dari 1st period sampai waktu subur.

6. Berurut dengan bidan atau tukang urut yang pandai menaikkan peranakan/rahim - ni pon aku x buat lagi, tapi aku da plan nk gi minggu depan.. mesti pergi.. mesti pergi..

7. Posisi yang sesuai dan lapik ngn bantal - ha... yg ni mmg kami amalkan.. tp nmpaknya dalam bulan pertama ni xde lgi rezeki.. kami aka cuba lagi! caiyok!

8. Makan banyak buah anggur - aku x buat lagi ni, sbb tadi bru aku jmpa petua ni.. tpi yg ni mmg i like!!!! sebakul pon aku leh abeskan..

9. Minum byk susu tepung full cream - ok.. mmg ade susu tepung kt umah cuma kdg2 lupa nak mnum.. strt ari ni aku akan selalu mnum susu tepung!

Dan aku masih lagi mencari tips2 lain.. ade saper2 yang tips2?

Nota: aku baru start TTC in Nov 2010 walaupun kami kawin in May 2009 kerana masalah kesihatan aku.. I was on medication sebelum ni, & I stopped the MTX in Aug 2010. And according to the doctor, I have to wait 3 months after stopping MTX before I can strt TTC.. so.. in Nov 2010, my mission begins.....

Welcome to the TTC World

Attention!!!!!!!

I am in TTC mode now.. Any tips?
Hope my mission will be accomplished soon..
Baby dust to me & all....

Note: TTC means 'Trying To Conceive'.

Paranoidkah Aku??

I have to confess, I have someone else in my life before I met my beloved husband.

I was betrayed, cheated & ill-treated in my previous relationship so when it finally came to an end, most of friends and my family were relieved. They really think I'd be better off him.. & I deserve better. I was devastated still, not knowing how to continue living.

After months of tears & pain, I finally managed to move on.

I've moved on indeed, however, with baggage.. emotional baggage.

I become bitter & have problem to have faith in relationships.

Then I met my husband, 2 years after that.

I think he did realise that I have issues, he pointed it out several times.. but I still refused to believe that I do have issues. I thought I've escaped from my previous relationship unscatched, how wrong I was!

It took me more than a year with him to finally be ready to consider getting married. Even before our engagement I still had a thought of postponing the engagement.. I was scared.

Even until now, I still find it hard to have faith in him. I keep thinking that one day, everything.. my hapiness, the love.. will be ripped off me once again.
I know it's taking a toll to our marriage, me being bitter & posessive.

Paranoidkah aku???

Trip To The Land of Pearls

Day 1 - 6th October 2010

Yes... cuti-cuti Malaysia!

Bangun pagi2.. mandi, pakai santek2..  nak gi bercuti ngan incik husband yang hensem cam Hans Isaac tu.. Mak, Kimie & Nana pon ikut jugak.. (cbuk jer kan.. ;-p).

I’ve been hoping to go to this beautiful land since long, long time ago... hope that explains why I’ve been counting the days ever since October came into my life this year.

We left home at 6.45 am.. tu pon Halim, my brother da berkali2 call.. yer la janji at 6.30 am.. tp sebab kami org melayu, so janji melayu la kan.. lain la klu kami ni org belanda ker, bosnia ker.. sure x ikut janji melayu.

My brother sent us to KL Sentral and from there we took the feeder bus to LCCT. Our flight was at scheduled 10.20 am, 6th October 2010 but it was delayed for 15 minutes due to a technical error that was left unexplained.. tu mmg standard, mesti ckp technical error.. sumer pon technical error.

Hubby, the birthday boy..

Masa flight nak take off, tgok muka budak 2 ekor tu.. takut semacam jer. The journey was not very smooth, terasa berombak ckit.. masa tu.. jgn kata budak2 tu yg baru 1st time nek flight jer yg takut, me yg da tua bangka ni pon cuak gak...

We reached KK at 1.00 pm, met Roy from RF Transportation to take the pre-booked Kelisa and headed straight to find Promenade Hotel Apartment. We managed to find the apartment easily (cis, berlagak!) as it is situated in the heart of KK town.

We booked a family suite which according to the website could fit up to 6 people... surprisingly, it could actually fit up to 10 people!

Here’s the room.. huge & spacious..

And it was only RM172.90 per night.

Settled with the room matter, we then hunted for food.. we have not had our lunch yet then. Since it was already passed 2.00pm, there was not much choices left, so we have to settle with a mamak restaurant.

Then we started our shopping spree!

1st stop, Pasar Ikan Masin.
Mom wanted to buy udang kering.. entah ape dia nk buat ngn udang kering tu.. beli banyak2 camtu. I pulak beli ikan masin terubuk & kuih cincin untuk makan sendiri and to be given to family & friend as ole-ole dari Sabah.



Next, we went to Handicraft Market or Pasar Filipina, yup.. mmg dah x sabar2 nak tengok mutiara-mutiara yang jadi igauan selama ni.

Memang meriah.. mutiara sana.. mutiara sini.. duit jer yg xder di sana dan di sini.. the price eventhough is cheaper than kl's price but still not that cheap.. but once you know how to goreng the seller, then you can get almost 50% discount!

Damage of the day, ckit jer.. sbb malu2 lagi nak shopping sakan.. hehe.. sebenarnya duit yang x baper nak banyak.. tu xleh shopping sakan..

After done with handicraft market, we then went to see what was going on outside of the handicraft market.. nampak macam meriah & happening jer...

My mom pon nampak x sabar2 to check out what they have out there..
Nama pasar malam ni is Pasar Malam Pasar Filiipina. But they start business as early as 5.00 pm everyday.

Ni dia.. memang la happening tengok seafood2 kat sini.. & CHEAP!!!!
Tengok lobster nih... hey, stop drooling!

This was our choice for side dish, umai.. raw fish mixed with air asam jawa & other ingredients.. ala.. mcm kerabu jugak.. tapi perlu diingat yer.. ikan yang digunakan adalah ikan mentah. However, still awesome.

x berani nak amik the huge lobster, we choose large prawn & sotong bakar.. kat pasar malam ni, sumer seafood masak bakar2 jer.. tapi mmg sedap sbb seafood sangat fresh.

Ni plak ikan bakar, kami pilih ikan jenahak.. it was only RM17.. murah kan...

Total damage for that night, RM85.00.. 3 ekor ikan besar, 3 ekor sotong, 3 udang & 2 pinggan rumpai laut yang crunchy & sedap.

Murah kan.. if in KL I seriously don't think we can get that price.. makan 1 ekor ikan jer pon da rm40+.

Selepas kenyang perut, kami balik ke bilik untuk berehat dan tido.. prepare for the following day.. nak gi islands hopping lak.. yey!!

Day 2 - 7th October 2010

Pagi ni sumer org bersemangat.. berebut nk guna blik air.  Yang cbuk nk pakai suar pendek jer pon ade.. yang membebel marah org yang nk pakai suar pendek tu jer pon ade..  tapi yg tengah risau adalah incik driver.. takut sesat. nak harapkan co-pilot nyer, co-pilot x reti nk bacakan map.. so, camno???

Sampai kat jeti Jesselton Point, we straight away chartered a boat.. hehe.. mcm best jer kan chartered 1 boat khas utk kitorg 1 family..

Pastu sesi posing2 kt jeti...

Ni c nana yang poyo..

Me ngn cik abang sayang..

View kat jeti Jesselton Point..

Then we boarded the boat.. huhu.. takut.. tapi seronok..

dorang ni bkn kembar tau.. mak sedara ngn anak sedara..

muka takut

Mommy pon seronok...

1st island we visited was Pulau Mamutik.. santek pantainyer.. air jernih kehijauan.. tp ikan-ikan kt jeti nyer halus2 sangat. Ikan-ikan kat situ diet terlampau kot...

Oppsss.. forgot to inform.. there is an entry fee to enter all the islands charged to each person.. RM3.00 per person & limited to 5 islands per day (1 time entry only).

2nd island was Pulau Manukan, di war-warkan as pulau tersantek, but I think pantainyer x sebersih pantai kat Mamutik. Air nyer pon x sejernih air laut kt pantai Mamutik. Tapi jetinyer memang terbaek! Jeti sgt santek.. tu yang beria-ria bergambar kt jeti Pulau Manukan.

ni ntah pesen ape nyer snorkeling..

Jeti Pulau Manukan

The 3rd island was Pulau Sapi, pulau ni xder ape sgt.. tapi kalau utk snorkeling mmg cantik.. air jernih.. ikan pon xla kurus kering sgt..

.

 byk lak yang berjemut kt cni...

Sepatutnye kami terus ke pulau ke-empat, Pulau Gaya.. tpi sbb there was nothing at the pulau, so we asked abg boat tu bwk kami pusing2 jer nek boat. Otw to perkampungan nelayan, rain started to pour down, ombak pon da mula makin besar. So, kami decided to balik ke Jesselton Point. Yer la.. laut da start bergelora, bahaya tuh.

Sampai kt KK, sementara nk tggu time nk gi tgok sunset kt Tanjung Aru, kami singgah di Signal Hill.. from here you can see the whole KK town, pemandangan dari atas bukit.. ala.. cam konon2 tgok dari menara tinjau la..

Cantik kan..



After that we went to pantai tanjung aru, to see sunset.. but not long after we reached at the beach, ujan plak turun menghapuskan impian kami utk melihat matahari terbenam di negeri di bawah bayu ni..

Di pantai Tanjung Aru..

Pas tu kami ke pasar mlam di Sinsuran lagi, nak mencari pearls lagi.. rupanya jauh lgi murah dari kt Pasar Filipina.. ape lagi, shopping sakan la.. tp sekadar tlg shoppingkan utk org lain jer la.. mak mentua kirim..

We had dinner at stalls near maybank.. punya la susah nk cari stalls utk mkn2.. jgn la berangan nk dpt cam Malis Corner or uptown danau kota.. or mungkin kami yg x tau nk cari kot...

Pas tu, ape lagi.. balik ke bilik & tido la...

Day 3 - 8th October 2010


Bangun tido, hubby went to find breakfast.. da lama la tu x dpt mkn nasi lemak.. hahaha..


But we were suprised to find out that the nasi lemak was yellow in color.. nasi lemak ke nasi kunyit??? tapi.. sbb lapar.. makan jer la..

Nasi lemak kuning

Selepas tu bermula lah pengembaraan hari ke 3 kami....


Earlier on we planned to go to Kinabalu Park or Rafflesia Centre, but due to the distance, kami trpksa batalkan niat, sbb jauh & kami pon x tau condition kete tu. So kami decided to go to tempat2 yang dekat jer.


Destinasi pertama, Lok Kawi Wildlife Park at Lok Kawi. Adelah dlm 30 minit dari KK town.

The park was not so big though.. took us less than 2 hours to finish the tour. Then we had our lunch at one restaurant near the hospital.. x ingt nama kedai tu.

Our next stop was Pantai Tg Likas, nice beach even though air nya x sejernih air kt pulau2 yg kami pergi ari sebelum nye.

Masjid dari tepi pantai

Kat Pantai Tanjung Likas 

Setelah puas bercanda dipasiran pantai tu, kami bergerak ke destinasi seterusnya..

Kami kemudian ke Akuarium dan Muzium Marin di UMS.

Rangka penyu

Ikan besar... besar punyer!!!!

Malam tu kami decided to go mkn seafood.. yer la.. da malam last kami kt ctu..

Setelah pening2 pikir2.. kami akhirnya memilih utk makan malam di medan selera di Tanjung Likas.

Menu pilihan, ikan susu masak 3 rasa, ikan kerapu kukus asam boi, sotong goreng tepung, udang mentega & sayur kailan ikan masin. Teringin nk makan 'Sabah Vege', tp xde plak mlm tu.. :-(

Total harga makan malam tu, was RM180.00.. xla murah sgt, tpi ok la.. bkn selalu kan...

Lepas makan, sekali lagi kami ke Pasar Malam Sinsuran.. hahaha.. apa lagi, jalan-jalan cari mutiara la.. *ngeeeee*

Day 4 - 9th October 2010

Hari terakhir di KK, sumer da x sabar nk balik.. da rindu makanan KL.. hehe.. tu baru 4 ari.. lum 4 bulan lgi...

Pas check-out dlm kol 11 lebih, kami terus ke airport, simpan barang di tempat simpan luggage (berbayar k, bkn free of charge) sbb our flight was at night, tp kete nk pulangkan at noon.. xkan la nk berjalan bwk bag2 ngn kotak2 ikan masin madam Azizah (my mom) tu lak.


On the way back from the airport, we saw an accident.. a biker, terbaring berdarah.. and we saw his big bike pon da tersadai. Orang da ramai mengerumuni mangsa.. but what we did not know was, the person lying on the road was actually the Ahli Parlimen Barisan Nasional (BN) Batu Sapi, Datuk Edmund Chong. We only knew about it when we have reached KL.. tu pon pagi esoknya.. takziah to his family.


Destinasi kami sebelum memulangkan kereta sewa, adalah ke Masjid Bandaraya atau turut dikenali as Masjid Terapung KK.


Kami menunaikan solat zohor memandangkan da masuk waktu zohor masa tu, then kami berposing jap untuk kenangan.

Konon model la tu..

Seterusnya kami ke bandar sebab da hampir sampai masa untuk pulangkan kereta sewa. Kami park betul2 depan kedai pemborong mutiara.. ape lagi.. orang yang giler mutiara nih terus la masuk..


Pastu mula la rasa sakit sangat ati, bila di dpati rupanya kt kedai ni lagi murah.. arggggghhhh..


Mutiara2 yang belum di buat gelang atau rantai boleh dibeli dengan harga yang sgt2 murah.. disebabkan x puas ati, aku beli jugak 2 string mutiara, dan mtk budak kedai tu buat jd rantai panjang.. baru aku leh senyum2 simpul pastu..

 Adik ni (anak tauke kedai kot) sedang membuat rantai panjang ku..

Selepas tu kami cuma jalan2 di sekitar bandar KK.. kereta pon da dipulangkan, so jalan kaki jer la.

Kami lunch di food court di pasar besar KK.. lauk harian kt sini mmg x baper kena ngn my selera, tapi telan jer la.. xkan nk mkn seafood jer sentiasa, mau marah mr husband nti.

Selepas lunch kami bercadang nak ke pasar Filipina sekali lagi, kali ni utk cari T-Shirt pulak. Otw ke pasar filipina tu kami terjumpa kakak ni jual kuih bulat2 ni.. x tau la ape nama kuih ni.. tapi sedap..

Pas beli T-Shirt utk kenangan & buah tangan, kami terus cari port utk minum petang sebelum berangkat ke airport. Sekali lagi kami meronda di pasar malam pasar filipina, peniaga bru mula nk bukak kedai.. baru mula nak membakar seafood & kepak ayam.

Kepak ayam aku x heran sgt.. kt KL melambak. Tapi sotong bakar tu buat aku rasa xmo balik KL.. huhu..
akhirnya aku tapau 3 ekor sotong bakar, leh makan kt KL.. kira cam aku import la sotong tu.. hehe..

 sedap nya.. besar2 n murah2 lak tu..

Ni view kat kawasan pasar malam tu

Pas minum and selesai cari T-Shirt untuk adikku, Halim.. kami pon amik cab ke airport. the charge was RM30, reasonable la tu kot.

When we reached the airport, we found out out that the flight was delayed again, sbb cuaca agak buruk.. & sekali lgi sumer suda risau. Yer la, da malam pulak tu kan.

Finally, the flight took off at 8.45pm.. it was quite a bumpy ride jugak.. we were asked to put our seat belt on almost all the time, smpai la tiba kt LCCT.

Kat LCCT menunggu lagi, my sister in-law lambat ckit. Then kami terus pergi makan, & kebetulan my father in-law pon ade kt KL, so jumpa la dia sekejap.

The trip was fun, walaupun agak kelam kabut sbb kami pon x tau sgt KK, & kami x sempat nak buat full research.. but next time, kami akn betul2 rancang.. hopefully, akan ade 2nd honeymoon.. kan mr husband kan..
