Endo Thermal Cooker

Yesterday I tried using the Endo Thermal Cooker to cook chicken curry. I was completely surprised. I started putting the curry into the pot at 6.30am. I reached home at about 5pm and when I opened the cover, it was still steaming hot! I actually put chicken curry and fish soup (for Mia) into that pot and both turned out great...still hot and the chicken was very soft and tender....

Gonna try to cook scones and cakes using the cooker next...wish me luck!

Miasara diaper-free, day AND night...

Last night was the fourth night Mia went sleeping without her diapers...she had been diaper free during the day since a month ago but only recently did I stop putting on diapers for her at night. Alhamdulillah, she did not soil her bed, well, at least so far so good...

I am so proud of my darling Mia. It only took 2 days to train her and come the 3rd day, she is already able to know when to go to the toilet...

Last week before I...

This is the start of the last week before I actually start school. Today is also the day I started sending my girls to my mum's house...

Initially, Mia was crying every time I told her I have to go to work and she has to stay at rumah nenek. SHe keep saying she wants to follow me to work. Finally, I told her I have to go to school and there is policemen at my school so she can't follow. Again, tears flowed down her chubby cheeks but she nodded her head. I told her to take care of adik with nenek...

So, just now, once we reached rumah nenek, she took out her Play-Doh that I brought for her and she started playing. After a while, I told her to salam, explained to her where I am going and kissed her goodbye...With a sad face, she said ok....

I guess I am suffering from separation anxiety as much as she is....now I am at Long John Silver's Yishun. Met my hubby for lunch just now and just killing time before I go and pick the girls up later...missing my girls already and it's only been 2 hours! Why can't I just stay at home or maybe work at home so that I can be with my princesses all the time???? Feeling quite lost not fussing around with Ana or hearing Mia's chatter.....

Eh, you lost weight?

I am really envious of my hubby...everywhere we go, he got lots of comments about the weight that he had lost. Just the other day, at my mum's house, we saw my sis' fiance and he said my hubby looked slimmer. Then when we went to my in-laws house, his auntie was also there. She commented on his weight loss too. Then, on Sunday, when we were about to go grocery shopping, we saw our neighbour.

And he said to Miasara,"Wah, ayah pun dah kurus lah sekarang..." (Ayah also lost weight lah now).

Even my bro-in-law wants to try it too...hehe, hopefully it works for him too.

My hubby used to wear pants size 42. Last week, we went to buy new jeans for ourselves. His new jeans size: 34!!!!

I got comments too but not as frequent as him. Most of them commented on how fast I lost my pregnancy fat...well, it's all thanks to the supplements. I also bought jeans that day. I used to wear size 28 pre-marriage...my new jeans size: 29. I guess I did quite well considering I have given birth to 2 babies and just gave delivered my 2nd baby 3.5 months ago. And the jeans was the skinny type....

Heheh, I guess both of us did well. Of course, we had help. Without those supplements, I don't think we both could do it.....

How our worries change through time...

Just sitting down and thinking about how our worries change as we went through the different phases of life...

When in primary school - you worry about whether your teacher likes you, your friends don't want to be friends with you, the toys that your parents won's buy for you...

When in secondary school - you worry about whether that boy likes you, what your friends think of you, the new handphone that your friend possess and you can't get...

When in tertiary education - you worry about your boyfriend who did not call for 1 whole day, the endless projects that needs completion, what to wear to school so that you look cool...

When starting to work - you worry about whether your boss likes you, what your colleagues think of you, how to go up the corporate ladder...

When married - you worry about whether you can get along with your mother-in-law, what to cook for your husband, paying the monthly bills, managing your finances...

When thinking of having children - you worry about whether you would be a good mum, could you provide for your precious one, how do you divide your time equally...

When actually with children - you worry about what colour is their poop, about the small red dot that suddenly appears on her little hand, about the toy she wants that you can't afford....

And the list goes on and on endlessly. I guess you never stop being worried! So thge only thing you can do is just handle them wisely and not let them overwhelm you...

We're off to the Zoo

Last Sunday, we went to the Zoo. It's been 1 year plus since we went there. I remembered bringing Mia while she was about 6-7 months.

We went in bringing a bicycle for Mia and pram for Fia, complete with 2 fans. After going in, Mia was sooo excited to see the animals that she ditched the bicycle. My darling then brought the bicycle to the zoo locker to be collected at the end of the day. Anasofia also refused to sit in her pram for long so in the end, my darling carried her in the sling while Mia rested on and off on the pram...fun and educational for Mia...

Ana 3rd month checkup & Robinson Sale @ Expo

Today was Anasofia 3rd month checkup. We took the 6 in 1 immunization for her. Just cried for 5 seconds after the shot was given, hehe...after that the jab, we went to see the doctor. She checked Anasofia's whole body and said that everything was good. Then she put her on her tummy. This little girl lifted her head so high and keep looking at her ayah...hehehe...the doctor was amazed.

Anyway, after that, we went to makan at Al-Amin and head to Expo for the Robinson Sale. The sale not as gerek as Metro or JL sale. The stuff were more branded and thus more expensive...

The fun thing was there were lots of Disney Princess products so Mia was lucky. Bought a few items for her but nothing for Fia cos nothing looks good...

Anasofia, the water baby

We went to Bukit Batok CS Club swimming pool yesterday. My darling hubby was on leave so we decided to bring the girls swimming. I wanted to introduce Anasofia to the water so I put her feet in first. I thought she would be screaming as the water was cold but she was loving it. She kicks her feet and soon, I put her whole body in except for the head. She really love the water.

I allowed her to play in the water for about 30 mins and took her out. Just after removing her wet clothes (she swims in her jumpsuit), I dried her and wanted to change her. She started crying! I guess she wants to remain in the water, hehe....Anyway, after changing her, I rock her to sleep...both my princesses, the water babies....no pics to show as I left my hp in the car!

Finally...to the beach!

After harping on the swimming pool, for the past few days, Mia had been wanting to go to the beach. It doesn't help that Higglytown Heroes keep showing the episode where they go to the beach....anyway, we went to the beach last Sunday.

As usual, went to East Coast and parked at the big carpark. Went there with my family and Athirah...Mak brought nasi lemak, yummmy....

On the way there, Mia was already groggy from her medication but she still refused to sleep. I told her to sleep first before we reach the beach but she kept saying, "I don't want to sleep. I want to go to the beach!"

The moment we reached there, I fed her the nasi lemak although I know she is just itching to go play with Athirah who is already building sandcastles. After the food, she dragged my darling to bring her to where Athirah was. I was with Fia who was being fussy again...

We left East Coast at about 2pm and we went to Ikea with Khaliza and Azril. Shopped a little and then went to Charco's to eat. That was how our Sunday goes....

I am blessed...

I hear complains from wives all the time about their husbands dumping everything on them...and I am blessed that my husband, flaws and all, is supporting and sweet.

Even though I am on maternity right now and he has to go to work in the morning, he still tells me to wake him up for Fia's night feeds...I sometimes do wake him up when I am just too tired but I try not to cos he is working. He would willingly look after Fia and Mia the moment he got back from work. Although tired, he would share the parenting duties without complains. He would even help clear the dishes if there was any. And when I complain about being tired, he would just tell me to rest and take it easy...if I can't clear the household chores, just leave it. He tells me to do it another day or wait for the weekend and we would do it together...aaahhh, I am truly blessed, alhamdulillah.

I love you, my darling....
