Doa Selamat- dah selamat

Its  been so long since my last post. Actually im not even sure if anyone reads this blog so i got a lil discouraged to write anything anymore, plus, hubster and i started a food blog a few weeks back so ive been guilty of playing favorites- coz it more fun managing a blog as a team i guess. Hubs has been so into the blog it makes me wanna laugh sometimes. He gets so serious in everything he does- even sumthing as mundane as helping Na with her homework. He actually stands over her like a drill sergeant and makes sure she completes everything otherwise she cudnt go to bed. The girl is 3!! She knows she can get away with it when im helping her, telling me sob stories abt how her legs hurt sooooooooooooooo baddd that she just cannot do her homework. When i remind her that she doesnt need her legs to hold a pencil she gets bored and grabs her milk bottle before proceeding to lie down for some disney time. Hrmphhh so much respect she has for me!

So im now coming up to my 22nd week of pregnancy and my tummy's beginning to show a little- YEAY!! And last weekend we finally had our doa selamat naik rumah- we moved in 5 months back. My daddy in law has been bugging us to get goin with it since forever n we finally did it when he threaten to bring all his family n friends over for a surprise visit if we didnt. We ordered a whole lamb mandy from ar-rawsha which is lamb cooked in rice and 2 whole chicken mandy. Mama made some desserts and mummy made rendang and brough more food over. Super rajin me cut up some vegetables and threw a couple o sliced boiled eggs on top and called it a salad. oh n i made drinks! I was so worn and tired that i forgot to take a single picture. boohooo

We underestimated the size of our house and kept invites to a bare minimum- only aunties and uncles and immmediate family members. We ended up with a truckload of excess food that could have fed 40 more people! I packed most up in takeway containers for people to bring home- thank god mama reminded me about getting lots of disposable containers for this reason. We had the kenduri on saturday and my husband was still having mandy rice for dinner last night. Thank god he doesnt mind. The aftermath of the kenduri is still evident at our place- a million rags and kitchen cloths hanging to dry from the wet kitchen, dishes that dont belong to us are sitting on countertops and i lost my wet chopping board and yesterday i found a casserole in my rag drawer and my salad plate in my baking cabinet. A result of too many hands in the kitchen- which i am super grateful for :)

Anyhooo- do visit our new food blog and vote where you would like us to do a review next ok!

Labour day

Hubster had to work yesterday on labour day- boooo!! I went over to mama's as early as 8am. Papa had promised to get me lontong n nasi lemak n what kindda daughter wud i b if i didnt eat both- i mean d man went out of his way to get them for me! then i had some cucur jagung mama made which was crispy and awesome!! all that food made me super sluggish so i took a nap- and woke up just in time for lunch. Had mighty portions of mama's famous gulai kambeng. ok truth b told, i had asked for this dish almost 2 months back. then mama went globe tracking all over the world and forgot all about them. When i reminded her i got all emotional n actually cried- over mutton curry. I am just a basketfull of emotions i tell ya. She felt awfully guilty which was awesome for me coz hello mutton curry!!! I also found 2 la bodega burgers in the fridge and a whole pie of pizza which were untouched. i packed home some mutton curry and the entire pizza and a burger and dinner was ready for hubs and i didnt even break a sweat!! he gobbled the entire pizza and burger- sumtimes i think he's more preggers then i am.

Went for a wedding last night which was lovely and harldy ate a thing- ok ate some thing but nothing that'll add to the pounds that are already piling on. Also- ive been having super headaches lately. it might b my cholesterol shooting up due to all the sinful food ive been downing lately. im too afraid to check bt it does hurt real bad.

Andddd- my baby's started to kick!! i wasnt aware of it at first till we went for our check up n the doc asked if ive felt anything. I sed being a 1st time mom i wasnt sure what it feels like. From then on i became more sensitive towards all feelings in my tummy, and sure enough- i felt it :) I love being pregnant!!! despite having horrible skin and not fitting into most of my clothes- I feel good!! but i do get stressed out when goin out for weddings coz almost all my baju kurung dont fit nymore- that'll teach me to mke tight fitting kurung moderns. hurmphhh. this was us yesterday at a wedding whr im wearing a caftan coz evrything else refuses to zip.
