Something fun to your diet

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
Hello loves ~!

Ain't that cute?

I wanted to make this cute toast for my breakfast this morning.
But my toast didn't come out right as I used the A grade egg. Haha
The egg was too big to fit in the center of the bread.

So here's the step-by-step:

1) Cut out the center of the bread with a heart shaped cookie cutter or using a sharp knife (I know my cut outs were not that neat.. Huhu)
2) Grease your non stick pan with a little bit of butter. Heat your pan with medium heat. Don't leave it to smoke.
3) Toast both sides of the bread to crunch
4) Once crunched, add in a little bit more butter and break the egg into the center of the bread and let the egg cooked a little. Flip to the other side and allow the yolk to cook.
5) Once the yolk is cooked, flip it back with the yolk facing up and add salt and pepper to taste (I skipped this one because I'm trying to reduce my salt intakes in my diet).

TADAA! Done. And in your mouth they go! Omnomnomnom

Owh and don't forget the use smaller grade eggs to make it fit to the center of the bread okay? You see how my egg overflown there right? You don't want that to happen..hehe
Who said you can't be fun with your food while dieting?

Have fun loves!

Planning Kakak Batrisyia's Birthday Party

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Hello loves~!
Hope you're all in the pink of health!

LipLapLipLapLipLap it has been 4 years since we've first saw and held Batrisyia in our hands.
First time being parents.
First time we've got our own child.
First time went thorugh the worst and beautiful of ups and downs in life.
First time facing a baby crying the whole night without knowing what to do.
Okay, there's just too many FIRST TIMES lah! You get the idea.

So, yeah..as the title says..I am planning her 4th Birthday Party..I am just too confused on which theme to go with and where's the venue gonna be..herghhh.. I hate this phase..
As usual my hubby's gonna leave everything to me to decide and he'll just be the one who's gonna pay on what I've decided..buehehehe

Kakak Batrisyia is soooo into Dinosaurs and Legos these days..
Yeah, I know she's a girl but she's not really into Barbie or princesses..heh
This time, I wanna make something special for her..
I'm baking her a cake and the cake mix is from Betty Crocker (susah nak cari kat Malaysia nih!) which I bought all the way from US (with the help of my Makyang of course..she went to US visiting her daughter, my cousin who is studying in Buffalo I think..sorry Ayesha..I just can't remember!)
Thank you Makyang and Ayesha! Love u both loads!

I've looked up some examples on how to make Dinosaur cakes and Lego cakes..both seems easy to make..BUT, I still have to choose which theme I'm gonna go with...I just can't afford to bake both type of cakes! Dinosaur theme and Lego theme just doesn't go together..get what I mean? hmmm.. So, here are the videos on how the cakes looked like..

Could any of my readers be a dear and help me to choose which one's cuter? I also need help on the door gifts ideas..
The party's going to be held on errmmmm... somewhere... near to the end of February 2014..Gosh! I even forgot to choose the date huh?
The venue will definitely be in Ipoh though..
And help me to reduce my level of stress too pls? Haha!
Thanks a bunch!

Need Bandung trip help anyone?

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
Hello loves~!

Alhamdulillah..Allah gave me the will to put up another entry..so here it goes..
I'm gonna write a review on the hotel we stayed for our Bandung Family Trip.
I've listed the Hotel and Supirs' links at the end of this entry..You can skip the reading if you want..hehe

On the 17th of October 2013 (yeah, i know it's last year..been busy..sorry) we were safely flown to Jakarta.
This was my 2nd time to Bandung, Alhamdulillah..
The 1st time I went was on the 17th July 2012..Only Me, Azan and Batrisyia (baby Malaeka belum lagi)..hehe..The sweetest birthday gift tuh! Thanks hubby!
This time, Alhamdulillah with a little bit of extra money we've saved, we managed to bring the whole family from Azan's side and mine plus with the 2 latest addition to our blessed family...Malaeka Shihan and Sophea Eryna.

Now, IT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA to begin with. I wanted cheap tickets for everyone but we ended up paying the same thing.
I got a very good deal of tickets for us to Jakarta Airport at RM50/person and back to Malaysia (from Jakarta Airport as well) at RM30/person from Air Asia..Murah kan?
We were supposed to travel for 23 people but ended up with only 13 people.

I booked a supir named Acong (from the company of Hayuka Bandoeng) and asked him to transport us to Bandung as soon as we landed.
We arrived Jakarta around 6pm or so..Masing2 dah penat..yelah, dengan anak kecik lagi, dengan luggage lagi..
Travelling from Jakarta to Bandung right after we've arrived WAS A BIG MISTAKE! It took us about 3 hours drive..gah!
And also,I felt wasted paying the driver's cost from Jakarta to Bandung - Bandung to Jakarta.
At this point, looking at everybody being tired from waiting at the airport and the flying, I'd rather just purchase tickets straight away to Bandung Airport next time. Biar mahal sket..Takyah nak saving sangat yet memenatkan! Pity everyone..
We did get a very nice coaster though. It was BIG and SPACIOUS! (bawak shopping memang terbbssss chuollssss!! bayangkan bleh masuk 2 bulky strollers plus you can still put everyone's luggage oh! CRAZY!)
By the time we got to Bandung (around 11pm I think), it was FUH-REEZING cold! Acong straight away sent us to the villa that we were staying sebab dah penat sangat.

We stayed at this beauuuutiful villa named Villa Damar... the place was superb!
I read so many reviews saying they were disappointed and all but No, definitely not for us. Not disappointed at all! Reviews said their sleep were disturbed by a very loud 'Azan' from a nearby mosque..But, Nope, not to us..we slept comfortably like a baby..haha!
We were welcomed with a very good service from the front desk. I paid 6.6million Rupiah for our 5 days 4 nights stay.
Please take note that many hotels in Bandung have different charges during the weekends (Hari Libur katanye) and weekdays..
The rate was okay for people that are sharing rooms like us..
It looked luxurious EXACTLY like in the pictures! I didn't get the chance to take pictures of my own as I was very very tired and busy settling down..
As usual I did a numerous survey before deciding where to stay..
It's a good villa because it is very very near to Rumah Mode..only about 10 minutes walking distance..
I called the villa directly and asked for their rates..I did not book it from Agoda.com or TripAdvisor as the promos already sold out...I booked us the tower suite.. It has 2 levels in the same house.. Upper level there were 5 King sized bed and 2 bean bags! Woah! And 1 master bedroom downstairs with a very sexy bathroom! There's a flat screen TV in the hall..1 microwave, 1 water dispenser (hot and cold..easy to make milk for kids), 1 sink and a dining table for 6..but they only gave us 4 person breakfast daily...so we had to take turns on who's going to breakfast..usually the person who went for the breakfast will definitely bring back some rice or any other food to the suite (Tapau leyyy!)..oh don't you just love your family member? haha! So here are the pictures of the beautiful suite I took from google of course..hehe..

Master Bedroom downstairs with a sexy bathroom!

It's highly recommended for those travelling in big packs..something's within the budget yet comfortable!

Here are the links to the Villa and the cheapest driver I could ever find.

Villa Damar
Hayuka Bandoeng

The person I contacted with was by the name of Yudha..very nice guy and easy to deal with..fast replies,no worries..ask him whatever u want! They even provide strollers for rent if your strollers are too big for travelling or you're just too lazy to bring it...I think it's about RM 7.00/stroller for a daily rent..damn cheap okay! Jadi, jangan lupa yah dong untuk bilangin sama Yudha kalo anda itu temannya Kak Kiki sih..pasti dia ingat kok..hihi..adduh! Kangen banget lo sama Bandung..Ada rejeki pengen ke sana lagi! InsyaAllah.

Will definitely write an entry on where we've gone to while we were in Bandung.

For those who are going or planning to, I hope you enjoy your stay loves~!

Scrumptious Crunchy Salad

Hello Loves~!

Salad.
I looooove love my salad to be as crunchy as it can be.
But salad could get soggy,not crunchy and boring after a few days being stored in the refrigerator. *rolled eyes*

1 day,I went to Ikea (biasa la,dah lama meninggalkan KL duduk Ipoh..bila dapat datang KL, peghak nengok Ikea..ater,haruslah pegi walaupun sekejap kennn?)
As I was window shopping, I saw something interesting! Bwehehehehe *evil laugh*

It was THE SALAD SPINNER! Gosh!
"This is my saviour!"
"But what do I do with it?"
"Ahhhh..the hell?buy it lah! It's a good investment anyways"
Not expensive at all..I got it for only RM10 that time..
And there I went lalalalala back to Ipoh and as I was happily unpacking my stuff, I saw my salad spinner..I thought hard to myself..
"Seriously,WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS??"
"Owh never mind..I'll just keep this in the cabinet and tomorrow I'm gonna ask hubby to buy me salad at Jusco..hehe"
Which we ended up not buying it coz I've totally forgotten about it.
So,there it was sitting in the kitchen cabinet and I don't even know for how long it has been there.
Then 1 day I was doing house chores,I opened my kitchen cabinet and saw the salad spinner! It was like in the movies where you hear the Angelic sound when something wonderful is found?...errrr I don't know how to describe this exactly..but I know you guys know what I meant,right? hehe
I happened to have salad in the fridge that time which I got the day before (so,it was still fresh).

"Okay,let's try this"

1. I  began with washing the salads upside down

2. I put the just a couple of pieces per spin as it could not spin with too many pieces of salads in there

3. It did not dry off the salads completely. Now usually at this stage,most people will just store the salads in the fridge right after washing them. PLEASE TAKE NOTE,THIS IS WHERE THE SALAD GETS SOGGY PEOPLE!

4. I took kitchen towels and wrapped the salads to absorb excess water. Try and lay down the salads piece by piece on the kitchen towels and slowly roll to wrap. Do not just dump everything on the kitchen towels. Yeah,I know this could take awhile. Put it back in the salad box (trust me,it fits!). And of course store it in the fridge for a few hours just to let the cold temperature to dry up the excess water on the salads.

It will look something like this: 

5. The next time u want to use it, just gently take out from the box and put it in your sandwich or salad bowl. And the next thing you know, you're already munching it! hah!

Hope this helps and good luck of course!

MARINE ESSENCE BODY WASH TESTIMONIES

MARINE ESSENCE BODY WASH TESTIMONIES

Hello dear followers!
Here are the testimonies from my dearest customers

I'm gonna start off with my sister's testimony, Aqma.
She was down with chicken pox on the 8th of December 2013 (Sunday)..
She quickly whatsapp-ed me saying that she wanted to buy the Marine Essence Bar Soap..pity her, i couldn't give her the Bar Soap as it went out of stock from Hai-O stockists..
So i gave her the Body Wash instead on the 13th of December 2013 (Friday)..She got so excited and she immediately ran up to her bathroom and showered! Haha
She was supposed to join my father for a trip to Paris on the 18th of December 2013 but she joined the trip later after she recovered from the chicken pox..
She was happy that she bought the Body Wash bottle because it's easier for her to bring along to a long distance travel..
And so, these are the pictures of 'Before' and 'After' using the Body Wash and also the pictures of the conversation between me and her..

Moving on with another testimony which is also from my sister, Adella (who already went off for the Euro trip that time)..
So, after Aqma arrived at Paris, Dila got a terrible terrible skin allergic due to the long johns she wore and of course the whether anyways (alaa, kita kan orang Malaysia..tak tahan la whether sejuk Paris tuuuu...kikikikiki)..
She scratched herself to bleed terribly..when Dila saw there were some day by day improvements on Aqma's skin and so she asked Aqma what did Aqma do to her chicken pox's scars to look so much better compared to the day Aqma arrived Paris? Aqma pun ape laaaaagi..Promote la Body Wash tu..hihi..
Dila tried the Body Wash and she was happy with the end result..
And here is the conversation between me and her..

 

 

Haaaa tengok...daripada nak order sabun, terus order Mineral Coffee sekotak..hihihihi

TIPS MENCUCI NAJIS BAYI YANG LEKAT PADA KAIN

Hello loves!

Harini saya nak share tips saya macam mana nak hilangkan kesan kuning najis baby pada baju atau kain-kain yang terkena najis baby ok?

Now, first off nak cakap pasal breastfed babies..najis dia huuuhhh..memang lahhh pekat and kuning macam kunyit..and susah nak tanggal kalau kena kain..cuci-cuci takmo hilang..sayang la kan baju2 tu takkan nak biar je kuning2..lagi2 baju2 putih..kita bukan nak pakai sekali je..mesti nak pakai banyak kali kan?hihihihihi..

This type of kain susah sket nak tanggal..kena rendam 1 malam..hehe

Senanggggg jeeeeee...Caranya:

1) Now REMEMBER THIS! Kalau boleh, as soon as baju tu terkena taik (sorry la,senang nak taip..u don't mind kan?) baby, cepat2 pegi basuh dengan AIR SEJUK (air paip la maksudnya)..jangan biarkan dia kering.. Kalau dah kering nanti agak susah la sikit nak cuci tapi takpe, ada jugak caranya..i'll explain it later..

2) Pakai sabun mandi yang bar tu je (iye, sabun badan macam lux ke may ke..tapi make sure it's the bar ones la kay?)..gosok2 sket kat kuning2 taik tu..and trust me it'll come off immediately..I was skeptical at first..tapi bila try sendiri, mmg betul..hihi

3) Kalau dia susah nak tanggal, gosok balik dengan sabun tu, and rendam sekejap..dalam sejam dua camtu..

4) Kalau tak tanggal jugak, basuh je baju baby tu macam biasa dalam washing machine, pastu jemur kat matahari terik..and please make sure btol2 terik matahari tu..jangan la matahari tengah terik, tapi sidai baju bawah porch yang tak kena matahari plak...kikikiki...dia memang akan hilang..and this I was also skeptical about..tapi kagum dengan kuasa Allah, MEMANG HILANG!

5) Ok, so you all terlupa nak basuh and taik pun dah terkering kat baju baby..SO WHAT DO YOU DO?? Apply cara yang sama tapi rendam lama sikit and kena pakai berus untuk gosok dia kuat sikit..no worries..and jemur bawah matahari terik jugak kay?

6) Same goes apply to period stain kita kat panties kita jugak..kalau boleh jangan tunggu sampai kering..nanti susah sikit nak tanggal stain tu (gambar panties, I tanak la include..kikikikiki)

Okay dear ones..hope this helps! Jangan pening2 and share la kat sini if mana2 yang dah berjaya..I pun nak tau jugak update2 u'alls..

Good luck loves!

How I Lost 19kg In 6 Months

Hello loves!!

I'm gonna share with you how I managed to lose 19kg in just 6 months.
Can you believe that my weight was around 43kg-45kg before I got married??
Once married I gained 10kg..gahhh! T__T
Then I got pregnant with my 1st child and I gained TWENTY SEVEN KILOS!!! My weight was 80kg exactly before I undergone C-section giving birth to Batrisyia Shihan..After giving birth, I got scared to step on the weighing machine to weigh myself and till now I still don't know what my weight was..hehe..sorry guys.. I got so embarrassed by my weight, I didn't even want to take pictures when I was pregnant..so, this is the ONLY picture I have..gahahaha!

75kg

60kg (A few weeks after I started working)

Due to limited activities caused by the major operation, I didn't get the chance to have a proper confinement period where the Malays traditionally use bengkung (corset/girdle), drink jamu and bertungku..but I did get a nice massage though..hihi..

I love exercising but I stopped once I got married and got lazy to start it again..gahaha!
I regret sooooo much for not starting my exercise before..(tu la, bila dah takleh exercise baru nak gedik2 exercise kan?)
After 2 years being a housewife, I started working..and I REALLY REALLY NEED to lose weight..I took slimming pills for a few months..I did lose weight to 55kg BUT I didn't feel healthy tho..I always got headache and my period pain got worst..I stopped taking pills and got pregnant again with my second child..THIS TIME I GOT PARANOID AND GOT SCARED OF PREGNANCY!! Because the last time I was pregnant, pregnancy was not a nice thing to me..hehe..I suffered a lot! So,
I said to myself that I can't let it happen again this time..I was soooo determined to find something that could help me stay healthy and not gaining so much weight while being pregnant..
Before I quit my job,I googled so many things for the sake of losing weight..
Then 1 day, I saw my dear friend Erin attached a link to a beauty post in her FB..I was surprised seeing this lady's entries..I didn't know she's been active in blogging..If only I had known she posted an entry about weight loss plan, I wouldn't have to take the pills..haihhh..
I've known her since I became friends with Erin..I didn't know her that well tho..I think I met her once..Sorry, I don't remember...hehe..She's tall and pretty like Barbie! But,by reading her entries, I feel close to her as if I had known her for so long..she's been very good to her followers..
I was browsing through her blog then I saw her post about 'How I Lost 18 Kilos in 8 Months' by Tia Hakim ... I was like "oooooo the title excites me!" I began to read and I got excited just only by reading the first couple of paragraph...hehe..jangan marah Tiaaaa..I read her weight loss entry EVERYDAY! just to get the PEMBAKAR SEMANGAT mood..gahahaha!
Kalau you all rajin, baca la her full entry for the tips and tricks and also elaboration on how to count your daily calorie intake..coz what I'm gonna write here is only the summary of what Tia wrote and what I did for my weight loss plan..

So I started my journey of getting a healthy life while pregnant after reading Tia's blog..I tend to get high blood pressure and a suspect of diabetes when pregnant...Grrrrr! That sucks!!
I have to control what I eat and drink..
Since I was pregnant that time, I couldn't control much on meals I eat BUT I started to apply the 'Get rid of water retention' method..I drank 4 litres of water a day..makan2 jangan citer la...aku balun je sumer yang bleh makan..BUT I did not drink any sweet drinks..I only drank warm water.. AND IT WORKED WONDERS! I did not gain weight drastically.. I only gained about 18 kilos...still gained baby fat yet still okay compared to my first pregnancy.. I did not suffer from swollen feet at all like I had with my first pregnancy..My sugar level reading was only 9.3 and came down to 7...unlike my first pregnancy, the reading was 11.2!! So, my pregnancy this time was way easier for me.

Then again, C-section another round but this time the incisions were wayyyyyy too much painful compared to the first one..then I said "I just have to wait till 6 months to start a light exercise"...After giving birth, I did not stop drinking the 4 litres of water a day..Orang tua kata dalam pantang jangan minum air banyak2 sebab takut kembang...TRUST ME, taaaaaakde maknanye...kalau tak minum air, mana nak datang susu badan?? Doktor pun cakap, pundi kencing dengan rahim is two different things...takde kena-mengena..kalau tak minum air, cane nak sihat?that's also the reason why some people tend to get constipation during confinement period(sebab tak cukup air and always minum milo,kopi, etc..)..haaaaa,so up to u lah which one nak ikut..because my main reason that time was to increase my milk supply and to keep me hydrated.Period!

From 73kg, I lost 10kg in just 2 weeks! but while I was in my confinement period, I still haven't started controlling what I ate because my body still needs all the nutrients to recover from C-Section..After 44 days of confinement period, I started to plan my diet meals..BUT I was still in my 100 days of confinement period of not eating seafood and sayur-sayur yang sejuk.. I did not take any jamu-jamu..hehe

The fact that I'm still breastfeeding Malaeka Shihan,gives me a booster on losing the fat...haha!
I pretty much did the same thing as what Tia did..I made her blog as my daily reference..I even did a checklist for my meal plan..Ha, sampai buat checklist kao! Memang ikut betul2 la sebijik-sebijot ape yang Tia buat..haha..then after a while, I started following +Kevin Zahri 's Instagram and Twitter for more tips..

So, these are the things I did and still doing it till now..

DON'T FORGET TO COUNT YOUR DAILY CALORIE INTAKE BEFORE YOU START,OKAY?

1) Drink 3 litres (at least) of water a day..kalau rajin minum 4 litres..
Soalan I selalu dapat - "Tak kembung ke??" ...well my answer is TIDAK..TIDAK MENGEMBUNGKAN...you have to remember, by drinking plenty of water a day, you'll be going to the bathroom to shee-shee every 10 minutes..perut tak sempat kembung, badan dah membuang..so,jangan risau lah!

2) DO NOT SKIP MEALS..skipping meals tend to mess up your metabolism..when you're metabolism's messed up, you can't lose weight the right way..

My diet plan:
Breakfast - Please try to NOT skipping this
- Consists of 2 slices of toasted bread and scrambled egg using ONLY the egg whites
- A glass of warm water
- A glass of Lemon Mint Detox drink (homemade)
- A cup of Hai-O Mineral Coffee

- 1 Litre of water to curb hunger (try to finish it before lunch)

Snack in between meals (you can skip this if you're still full)
- Crackers/Fruit/Yoghurt

Lunch
- Nasi segenggam (please jangan salahkan nasi anda gemuk..dia tak salah..TAPI,cukup hanya segenggam nasi bukan beras ye..untuk sekali makan..dan kalau makan nasi sihat pun hanya segenggam je okayyy??)
- Lauk la of course...try and look for something healthy like soups, vegetables or something grilled instead of it's cooked with santan or goreng2 yah? Banyakkan protein and greens please!

Snack in between meals
-Salad/Fruit/Nuts/Cheese/Crackers

-1 Litre of water also to curb hunger (try to finish it before dinner)

Dinner
- Nasi segenggam (I just had to take another round of nasi because of the milk production)
- Chicken soup

-1 Litre of water (try to finish it before bedtime)

TADAAA!! Kan dah cukup 3 Litres of water a day tuh kan?? hehe

You can try and google for more healthy meals and calorie counts per dish so that you could control your daily caloric intakes..be creative with your meals..hari-hari makan benda sama pun bosan jugak kan?

Kadang-kadang curi2 jugak makan McDonalds, Chocolate, Sundae ice-cream la bagai..haha!
Tapi as long as you monitor your caloric intake untuk sehari, then it's all good..not to worry too much okay?

At first I thought How do I survive without eating nasi??? But then again, you don't have to starve yourself just to lose weight!
I am proud of myself for getting through this on my own (well, with the help of moral support from Mr. Hubby of course!)
I also did a very light activities at home such as chores, carrying Malaeka slowly up and down the stairs, light exercises for abs to name a few...Bukanlah takde activity langsung asek membongkang je kat rumah and expect you'll lose weight..NO NO NO..jangan ada mindset macam tu please Malaysian?

54kg (29/12/2013)

Now, I weigh 1kg lighter than my pre-pregnancy's weight which made me 54kg! (Ada orang kata "elehhh..sekilo je punnn)...TAPI a kilo lighter counts! Biar slow progression rather than not having any progression at all!

I have another 9kg to lose! My target is 45kg...Jom?? ada sape2 nak join? You can always text me 010-3806661 anytime anywhere! I akan cuba sedaya-upaya menjawab soalan anda and I sedia memberikan pertolongan..hehe.. Gonna post my update when I've reached my goal!

Easy-peasy! I know I can do it and I'm sure you can too~!
Good luck to everyone who wants to start this weight loss plan! Share lah update anda kat sini.. ^__^

Till then loves!
