My Lucky Day!!

Posted on by

I have been a Nike person all this while. All my sport attires are from Nike. Unlike my husband.. he’s definitely an Adidas person. But today, I’m a convert!! Hahaha.. I’ve converted from Nike to Adidas!!

Wanna know why… ;) Here’s the story..

This afternoon, I went to The Curve to go to Nike Women there.. Since I’ve been doing some training on my own, I need to buy new socks. That’s all I want!! (That’s what I always tell myself before going into a boutique/shop.. hahaha) Little that I know now there’s no more Nike Women. The shop has been replaced by Adidas Women!! OK, as long as it’s for women.. I don’t mind.. After all, I was just looking for socks.

So, I got this…

Then I saw their sports attire.. It’s all in bright, happy colours.. they have bright yellow, bright pink, bright purple.. OMG!! How can I resist..

So I ended up with these too…

Biaser lar.. pompuan..

Then the salesgirl told me, “Akak, akak dah beli lebih RM300 ni, buleh ambik lucky draw. Akak pilih je mana2 card kat board ni *while pointing at a board in front of the counter* ada amount 50 ringgit sampai 500 ringgit Adidas voucher. Akak buleh pilih satu jer card “

Me: ” OK, ambik jer kan…”

Salesgirl: “Ambik je kak.. RM500 belum ada org menang lagi.. RM300 pun ada lagi..”

Me: OK.. *I took one of the card on the board* saya nak yg ni..

So the salesgirl opened the card that I chose.. “Akak menang RM500!!”

Me: Ah.. Awak jgn main2 dik..

So, she showed me the amount on the card. Sorry I forgot to snap it because I was too excited :D

Yes!!! I won RM500 voucher for FREE!!

*chicken dance*

After that, I happily walked away with this..

Adidas Women Adizero F50 Runner 3 in yellow!! Woot! Woot!!

Hahaha.. I am one happy Adidas woman y’all!!!

Pantang Day 45!!

Posted on by

Acah jer, I only pantang until 44 days!! No day 45!

So, today I’m officially free!!

Guess what I did today?

Running on the treadmill :)

I have to do this.. I can’t be gaining 5 kg for every child I gave birth to!! Kalu anak 10, nak add lagi 50kg ke?? -.-Besides, fitness is definitely an issue. It was quite tiring during my second pregnancy as compared to the first one. I definitely have to work on that.

Dieting is not an option because I’m still breastfeeding. Tasha needs her nutrients. So, compromising her meal is a big N.O. I don’t believe in those commercial supplements that claims you can lose weight. Most probably you’re just losing water. Besides, again I’m breastfeeding, no funny drugs should go into my body. The only option that I have is exercise!! And liposuction!! ;) But I’m scared of any surgical procedure..

So, back to square one.. Exercise!! Dgn hati yg cekal (dan berat and malas!!) I forced myself to run today.. it has been a while since I last run.. Lucky I still remember what button to press on the treadmill :D

I run for 2.87km in 25minutes today!! Yay!

(Somehow I just couldn’t finish until 3km, already half dead by that time)

I cheated a bit. I didn’t run the whole 25minutes, I slowdown on running quite a few times.. or shall I call it “power walk” ;)

So, wish me luck mommies.

Who wants to be my trainer? But you must train with me ok!!

Love, X

Keep Moving..!

Yes, that is true!!

Keep on moving!!

That’s why today, when I got some me-time in the washroom..

I showered, did some online shopping (I bought a handbag!!) and paid my bills from my iPad in the washroom!

Keep moving, people!!

Keep moving..

Guilty Mommy

Posted on by

I went for ultrasound scan for my second baby last week, and to my shock,he/she is underweight and looks small for his/her age. At 33 weeks, the parameters are only at par with a 29 week size baby!! Oh my God!! Have I been a bad mommy?? I know it’s not the end of the world but I guess there are few factors that I would like to share with all of you mommies out there..

Up until now, I’m still breastfeeding Lil B, not regularly but usually at night before she goes to sleep. The nutrition that should go to the new baby might have been taken by the breast milk… Well, I just can’t say “No” when Bella said she wanted “shushu”. She did it with the cutest face ever!!

Besides, I’m not eating very well during this pregnancy, that’s the different between this current and previous pregnancy. I just don’t have that much appetite like before. I just eat for the sake of eating.. Alhamdullilah there was no vomiting or feeling nauseous but my appetite is just so-so. Besides, taking care of a toddler and carrying a baby at the same time is really no joke. Work is as demanding as ever. We moved house, packing and unpacking.. A lot of crazy stuff is going on during this current pregnancy. There was just not enough time to lie down and put my feet up. Husband has been a great partner. He helped me in every way he can but I guess progestrogen really effects your body more as you get older.. It makes you tired and sleepy, it retains water, makes you forget things, stretches your ligaments (OMG!! Thats the worst!! Sometimes I feel like I left my pinggang on the chair when I tried to get up!! Hahahha… Husband comes handy around this time to pull you up without complaining I’m too heavy!! Haha..) My weight gain is good coz my body retains water easily (thanks to progestrogen!! I’m like a sponge retaining water!!) but baby’s weight gain is a little lagging..

My point is.. (not to blame anything here!) I missed taking my multivitamins!! *insert regret face here!*

Don’t get me wrong, I love this hectic life.. I just hate the progestrogen!! Hahah..

From now on, I have to force myself to eat and takes my multivits regularly..

To expecting mommies out there.. do NOT take things for granted. Take your nutritious food regularly, multivitamins. Just do it for your unborn child. No excuse!!’

BFF Get Together

Posted on by

I was out with my BFF yesterday after work (L-R : me, Dr Elly, Dr Rey) it has been awhile since we met up with each other.. work, family and more work delays our get together sessions. It was just a short session cause we only manage to meet up after finish work, around 5pm until maghrib prayer time before rushing home again..

Back at home, I knew there was no more frozen food for B but I just had to meet up with my girlfriends!! It so hard to catch all three available at the same time. So I decided to just let her daddy feed her with bottled food from Heinz! Hahahha… (Hey!! everyone screw up sometimes, right?) Daddy said ok coz he knew I haven’t been seeing my girlfriends for quite sometimes..

Poor daddy had to face all the drama.. Bella refused to take the bottled food. Penat daddy pujuk Bella ngangan mulut nak makan but she just refused!!

Hahahha.. I don’t know who to kesian.. daddy or Bella :D I reached home around 7pm, cooked for B her favourite meal and She’s a happy baby!! Hehehehe…

Life as a Medical Student..

Posted on by

This one goes out to the students out there.. especially medical students!! ;)

My advice is.. live life to the fullest… but you must know your responsibilities and limitations!!

I’m not the brightest.. or the most genius.. But my girlfriends and I.. we had fun!

These are my girls.. L-R: B’s mommy (that’s me!), Dr Reyhana (now mother of cute little Ezra) and Dr Elly (mother of two handsome prince, Ferhzan & Ferhanz)

Back then, we struggled thinking we have to be the best student to be a doctor.. but looking back, what really takes to be a good doctor besides knowledge is the attitude. Attitude plays a huge role.. You can be the best student in your class but without the right attitude and caring heart towards your patients.. You’re just another doctor.

So kids, have the right attitude, make sure you really want to help others, otherwise life as a doctor is not gonna be easy..because all your life is about helping others.. My husband always reminded me when I was a houseman (he was only my boyfriend at that time…) “These people, it’s not their choice to be sick.. but you chose to be a doctor. Treat them nicely…”

Yeah.. life as a houseman is another chapter in my life, it’s really tiring. If I’m not oncall, I would be in the hospital from 7am to 10pm everyday.. yes, everyday. If I’m oncall, 24 hours I’m stuck behind the hospital walls.. Not easy but do-able. I didn’t complain much coz I barely had time to complain. Hahaha..

Thanks to the people who were always with me behind those time..

Post-pregnancy Weight Issues

Posted on by

I was born in high heels.. Tak caya you can ask my mom.. Hahahha..

Just kidding!!

Before I got married (and got pregnant!) I was always in (at least!) 3-inch heels ;) I don’t own a sandal or ballerina flats. There were only 2 types of shoes I have besides my heels, one is my gym shoes.. the other one is my OT/ICU crocs.. Hahhaha.. The rest were all 3″,4″ and 5″ heels.. Call me mad but that’s me.. I am the type of girl who can run in stilettos!! I love stilettos..

Things changed after I got pregnant.. I bought one-inch loafers for recreational purposes, no more high heels coz I was afraid I might trip or fall down even I was a pro in it.. I only wore high heels if there’s any special event with my husband.. Tu pun I would hold him like I’m gonna fall anytime.. Hahaha.. Yes, I was so protective towards my pregnancy :D

From there on, I just left my heels in the shoe rack collecting dust… Haih.. Until now, when I put it back on, it feels different. My weight is holding me back. I still haven’t manage to get may pre-pregnancy weight yet. To be honest, I still have another 5 more stubborn kilos to go.. *sigh* (Siapa suruh gain sampai 28kg masa pregnant kan??!!)

It is just not easy to shed these big fat cells.. Lucky I choose to breastfeed little B, it helps a lot in reducing my post-pregnancy weight. And I tried to go the the gym as often.. But it is getting more difficult after I started going back to work.. So, What to do with these 5 extra kilos so I could get back into my stilettos? :(

Recently, my husband bought me this pair of heels..

“You should wear this a lot, you look good in it”… and I was stunned. That is a 5.5″ high heels.. I would die to wear this if I was still.. ermmm.. like before!! Hahahaha.. It is either he knows my affection for high heels and stilettos..

OR…

Maybe it’s hint.. Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s a hint.. that I must lose weight!! Hahahhaha… Die lar..

What to do?? :-/ From now on, must lose more post-pregnancy weight, wear a lot of high heels and practice carrying Bella on super high heels..

Hello stilletos..! ;)

P/S: Today is Feb 29!! Happy birthday to those who were born on this day.. Sian all these peoples only gets to celebrate their birthday every 4 years.. Let’s cheer them up a little bit more.. So, Happy Birthday to all leap year babies!! :)

Lesson Learned in 2011

Posted on by

In just a few hours, we will say goodbye to 2011 and hello 2012!! Yup, just a few hours time.. time really flies now days, right?? 2011 is a big year for me, many things have happened and I have learned a few things about myself, life and people around me..

Lesson #1 : Now I do understand the meaning of unconditional love.. and that is a mother’s love to her child. I’m not really sure about father though.. hahahha.. but I guess it is almost the same (yup, almost but NOT same!!) *wink* I, myself amazed how much I could love her!! (and how much space she took in our house despite her size so little.. hahaha)

Lesson #2 : First year of marriage is tough!! People called it the adjustment year.. but love conquers all. Maturity counts! I would never be like this when I am much younger I guess.. (I am very hard-headed.. trust me!) Heheheh.. I am glad I got married at quite a stable age. I’m more stable emotionally and financially but the downturn is my egg count is running low too!! Hahaha.. Must work hard to achieve my husband’s target of 10 children!! See.. Bella is supporting her parents.. she wants more adik already.. kaki dah masuk mulut dah ;)

Lesson #3 : If either one of you wins in an argument between each other, it’s a losing battle for your marriage.

Lesson #4 : Sabda Nabi Muhammad SAW: “Sekiranya aku boleh menyuruh seseorang sujud kepada seseorang manusia, nescaya aku akan suruh perempuan sujud kepada suaminya.” (Di riwayatkan oleh A.Hurairah) . Amazing isn’t it.. I have no comment, just memorize the hadith, ladies!

In general.. year 2011 has been a kind to me. Alhamdullillah. Owh, and not forgotten my little hijrah!! I want to strive to a be a better muslimah in 2012. I wanna be a better person, wife, mommy, doctor in whatever way I can.. 

Happy new year from all of us.. (urmm.. no family pic with my selendang coz baru 3 hari blaja pakai :D nie pun Bella looks constipated! LoL..) May 2012 brings the best for all of us!! InsyaAllah..

Love, XO
