Ramadhan Activities

First day of Ramadhan I managed to go home and berbuka with hubby. He went to bazaar Ramadhan first and bought food for both of us and I drove straight home, just in time for berbuka. Second day hubby was busy so I went for berbuka with my mom and Bojol at Haslam. Third day I went to service my car in the morning and both hubby and I went for baby's 3D scan in the afternoon. We went to Seremban later with Zairie and broke our fast there. Fourth day went back to Bangi, only to be caught in jam as it was raining (and there was a lorry with hazard light on in the middle of the road just before Nirvana) so I had to break fast in the car and only managed to reach home around 8. My dearest hubby was loyally waiting for me to eat together. I was touched. The next day, as I regretted my decision to brave through the traffic the day before, I decided to break fast with my bestie, Nadia at Marche, The Curve. She was actually craving for meatballs from Ikea but I was craving for Marche's Rosti and since I am pregnant, she gave me priority. Hehe. We practically just shared all the food we ordered. Rosti with cheese, 2 buns, 1 small mushroom soup and one drink each.

After prayers, we went for dessert at Paddington House of Pancakes. 3 layers of oreo pancake with strawberry and marshmellow. ^_^

I went back to KL that night. Hubby came back to me later as he didn't want me to drive home alone so late. We were supposed to attend a property investment talk organised by CIMB Propertymart the next morning but both were not in the mood so we just slept in and went to watch movie at GSC Mid Valley later. As there was no suitable screening time, we went to watch Captain America Gold Class!!! Freaking RM100 for 2 tickets. =p Yes, hubby likes to splurge like that once in awhile. Haha. Didn't take any nice shots as I didn't want to appear too Jakun. =p Plus can't take pictures inside the cinema as it was already dark. The seat was large and comfy. There was a small table in between us to put our food with a little button to call for service but too bad it was fasting month so we can't order any. We even get a blanket each. I overheard a mat saleh asking for extra blanket and he was making so much noise when he was charged RM5 for it. Satu dah cukup dah... Yang ngade2 nak order extra tu apa pasai?


We were supposed to break fast in KL with the extended family that day but hubby couldn't resist his mom's nasi lemak and ikan bakar so we went back to Nilai instead. Came back down to KL and brought mummy out for pancake. This time I used the 2 coupons I bought from Mydeal.com.my. RM8 for one pancake and iced lemon tea each. Yummy.

Bersih 2.0 rally

On the 9th of July, there was a street demonstration Bersih 2.0 in the middle of the city. Everyone was advised to stay away as roads leading to the city center were closed/blocked by the police. Hubby and I stayed in the whole day, hubby woke up only around 4.30pm. I wanted to go out badly to buy some maternity pants so just a little after 5, we picked Ayet up and headed towards KL. Entered KL around 6-ish, roadblock after Sg Besi tol was already dismantled. Roads into the city centre were still blocked so there was a mild jam on towards Jalan Tun Razak. We made a pit-stop at Delicious.

After that, we went to KLCC and I managed to buy a flat shoe from Bata. By then, it was nearly 8pm and hubby wanted to watch the news so badly. To our disappointment, we can't find any TV showing TV3's news in KLCC itself so we had to drive out and went to Pelita, a mamak shop nearby. What we saw on TV was quite bad with all the gas pemedih mata sprayed to the crowd and people throwing bottles to the police. 1 person died when he got a heart attact in the midst of all that chaos. Tsk tsk. Drama. After the news on Bersih rally was over, we went back to KLCC where I got myself 2 pairs of working and 1 stay-at-home maternity pants. We made a quick stop at an ice-cream booth in front of the shop before we made a dash to Tony Romas, The Curve for our BBQ ribs. The traffic was clear as most people preferred to stay away from the city. What a crazy outing day it was. ^_^

Ramadhan During Pregnancy and Twin Girls Birth!

Okay. Where do I start? Maybe I shall go backwards, most recent events first. Today is 11th Ramadhan. Thankfully... so far my baby and I have been fasting without fail. Yeay! Alhamdulillah. Dr Siti said I should have no problem fasting but try to sahur as late as possible, which is exactly what we've been doing at the moment. I have been waking up around 4.30am, cook fried rice, wake hubby up and go back to sleep for about 15mins. My worry is that if one day we overslept, should I still continue fasting? Let's hope Allah gives us opportunity to fast for the whole month this year. Ameen.

Terawih wise I have not been successful. Mainly because I usually get very tired by the end of the day and go to sleep around 8.30-9pm like that. Perform Isya' prayer only when I wake up for sahur. Secondly, as my belly gets bigger and my feet sometimes swells up, it is harder for me to pray especially for an extended period of time. Even performing the daily prayers is a bit of a task now but I should not make that an excuse. Should try to squeeze in a few days at least.

Last Monday 08/08/11 at 10.10pm, Bang Own and Kak Zizah's twin girls were safely born into this world via C-section operation. The mother was fully awake during surgery and was only given epidural for the pain. While Bang Own was in the labour room with Kak Zizah, I waited with Nyah, Bang Amir and Bang Sham at Haslam, sipping a cup of teh tarik. Mummy arrived just on time to see the babies. We are estatic to welcome both of you into the family, Qistina and Qaisarah!

Blogging to capture those memories

I noticed I don't blog as often now compared to my student days. I used to blog at least 2-3 times a week for a couple of reasons: 1) I wanted to remember my student life studying overseas as it was such a precious experience. 2) I had too much free time on hand. 3) I was feeling rather lonely and updating my blog kept me occupied. I didn't think it was that important for me to be updating my blog that often until recently, now that I am living the life I wanted: married to the man I love, back in Malaysia and working. Plus, we don't have internet at home so it's pretty difficult to squeeze in time to blog at work during lunch hour as I would either go out or would be too busy with work. But most of the time, I am just too lazy to type.

What happened recently? I just finished reading Can You Keep A Secret and Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella. In Remember Me?, this girl got into an accident, resulted in amnesia and lost 3 years of her memory. I asked my husband how would he remind me of the things I have forgotten, to which he replied, "I will show you your blog". Okay, that's a good idea!

Also earlier this week, Camy has been asking me what to bring when applying for kad nikah and how did we receive our marriage certificate. Couldn't answer both questions precisely because I could't really remember. I browsed through my blog and sadly, I didn't blog about it. Haha. So I guess I should blog more often now in order to help me remember things in the future. Plus it's quite fun to read old posts when I am bored. So this post onwards, you will see some very frequent updates, until my enthusiasm dies of course. =p
