Hello.

Today, I would like to share my prescriptions taken during pregnancy.

I am forever grateful for having such a wonderful doctors taking care of me at Klinik Dr. Paramjit Kaur & Alam Medic. They have given me the best supplements a mother could have to ensure my baby is having it all from the start.

So, currently I take 3 types of supplements.

a. Abbott Iberet Folic 500

Doktor yang prescribe vitamin ni kat saya sebab saya bagitahu dia eating style saya yang picky and poor diet. So, kat dalam pil ni sendiri da ada acid folic. I don't have to take any more acid folic. Most important is the iron needed for both baby and I.

For further reading about the usage, side effects or etc, please go to http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-5393/iberet-folic-500-oral/details# as reference

b. Belvea Begin Formula

Ni mostly is fish oil. DHA dalam fish oil tu sendiri amat penting dan banyak sangat kebaikan untuk bayi dan saya. Selepas bersalin nanti, baby akan dapat DHA dari susu ibu. Tapi ibu-ibu zaman sekarang pulak selalu kurang makan yang mempunyai sumber DHA. So, kiranya supplement ni still boleh ambil during breastfeeding. Thumbs up!

Official website of Belvea to explain more about the contents and benefits. http://belvea.com/products/begin-formula/

c. Obimin

Yang ini, macam biasalah, semua ibu mengandung akan digalakkan untuk mengambil Obimin. You can google it and find the explanation easily.

Makanan Tambahan yang disediakan oleh B

a. Drinks

My nurse encouraged me to take any powdered milk yang bersesuaian, yang penting mampu menyumbang kalsium untuk badan sendiri dan baby. So, of course as most common mums kat Malaysia, I am too taking Anmum Materna.

Ada orang claimed susu ni kandungan gula dia tinggi. Mampu menyebabkan diabetes ketika mengandung.

Saya juga suka minum Dutch Lady Fresh Milk, Dutch Lady Full Cream Milk, Dutch Lady Chocolate Milk, Tapi yang da siap buat dalam kotak. Bukan powdered buat sendiri. -___-"

Lepas tu, saya juga suka minum 3 in1 yang pelbagai. Sebab saya sedar diri, memang everyday meal takkan balance. Dah la tak suka makan sebenarnya. 

b. Biscuits

Then, saya suka makan biskut oat dan biskut tiger. Semua B da make sure, only eat healthy snack food. Sacrifice as a mummy kan. Hehe.

p/s: saya ada curi2 makan Bika, makan Double Decker, makan jeruk, and also Teh Tarik during breakfast. Not good, mum!

Hello mums-to-be.

R nak start my pregnancy journal with my first act bila telah mengetahui pasal #brJunior few months ago. I started with testing it my own pregnancy kit that I bought di Guardian. To ensure accuracy and to avoid any false alarm, R beli multiple types/brands of test pregnancy kit. 

paling trust sebenarnya brand ni. Clearblue. Mahal pula tu.

This one brand Guardian. Memang saja test untuk accuracy.

When all showing same positive results, I take time off that day and went to see B to let him know the good news.

But we didn't share the news to families and friends. We decided that it would be safe to wait until it is 12 weeks (3 months) old and went check-up to Klinik Kesihatan nearby then we will make it official.

FIRST TRIMESTER

We did went to scan at nearby private clinic yang provide scan tu. We went during it is 8 weeks (2 months) old and almost 12 weeks (3 months) old. 

There it is. Sweet 8 weeks! #brJunior

Sorry I couldn't put up #brJunior on 12 weeks old. The nurse took it and piled it up in the Buku Rekod Kesihatan Ibu Mengandung (Buku Merah tuu).

I had all my scans done at private clinic while the periodic check-up done at Klinik Kesihatan as required by MOH.

The doctor at the private clinic is very nice to me. It was probably because I am too skinny, underweight and I have no clue since it is my first pregnancy. They gave me all this expensive multivitamins (probably because they are B's company panel clinic, so no $$$ issue here). I started drinking Anmum for Maternal. Although, once a colleague of mine claimed she did not drink Anmum because of the high sugar contents will causes mummy to have pregnancy diabetes. But my nurse assured me my sugar level is normal and it is okay to drink any kind of milk. The nurse strongly suggested to drink any powdered milk and eat lots of fruits. So, no harm done here!

I do felt grateful for the attentions given since I don't have my parents and in-laws nearby. I am basically...all alone. Thanks B, but you too have no idea at all on how to advice me. Haha. But I can assure you, your effort on learning how to handle all the troubles and pains I am currently facing, will be taking into account. You did such a wonderful work with house chores, cooking, cleaning all this in just one month!

Yes, people. I faced quite a horrible morning sickness (I usually experience it during 5PM-10PM) when my pregnancy was through to the second trimester. Thank God, it only dragged on for a month.

I registered myself at www.thebump.com, to help me what to expect and to prepare week by week. It is such a good website that provide lots of information regarding our body changes and the baby in the belly! It is also complete with Q&As yang kita malu nak tanya orang macam sex during pregnancy, planning a nursery, trouble sleeping, do's and don'ts, symptoms, and so much more. Why choose to be messy when all is there planned out for you?

SECOND TRIMESTER

The rumours are true, people! Pregnancy is finally felt like blessed! Haha. I enjoyed my halfway trimester with lots of food, lots of walking, it is such a joy! I felt sinned just to look delightful during this period, since most of mummys looks awful and bloated.

I have to admit, quite number of people came up to me just to checked whether I am REALLY pregnant or not since my belly didn't show much yet and I look cheerful as ever. 

I have started on my daily routine of drinking milk, fruits (I gave up fruits right after 4 months. I couldn't lie to myself, I did not favours fruit so much then and now). But I searched for alternatives, I drink fruit juices when ever I am outside or consume the fruit yoghurt. I have also did my book shopping to help me to get through this pregnancy.

I bought this book. It is VERY VERY useful for all husbands and wives! Y'all can get it from http://mustread.com.my/ for good price!

The book is a blessed! Worth every Ringgit spent. I got it on sale, RM60, I used to google everything! I never underestimate the power of google, it is such a powerful medium used to share knowledge and advices. Tapi saya juga tak melupakan kuasa buku. Buku ini, lengkap dari segi sains dan agama. Dari baru kahwin sampai lah nak beranak pinak. Pantang semua guide kat dalam ini. Lepas tu kan, paling best sekali dia juga bagi guides for all papa-to-be! Dari buku ni la B belajar and be awesome. Haha.

Then I bought a few good books just to enhance my knowledge.

Y'all can view all of these books at https://bookcafe.com.my . Buy it if you must!

I used to read Dan Brown's, Emma Donoghue's, Little Black Dress Books and etc. No harm done changing your taste in reading. One of colleague did advised me to change to a healthier lifestyle (Maybe I need to go out more! *chuckled), eating healthy (I admit to this crime!), music taste (Listening and reading more Quran!), reading style, movies taste (avoid all gore and graphic violence genre), all for the sake of the baby's growth and etc. I am taking the advice seriously. Thanks As!

Well that is it so far for 5 months journey.

Hi guys!


A veryyyyy long hiatus from both of us!

Well, that is because I am too busy to write and plus.... #brJunior is here!





Isn't it wonderful! We have been trying for two months before Raya and prayers has been answered.

So, both of us will pause from travelling until we all are comfortable enough to be on the road again. I have so many plans ahead for 2016, and please pray that B is up to it! He is kind of a safe-zone-guy and wouldn't risk any. I guessed that's what fatherhood does to you.

I would definitely be more than happy to share my first pregnancy journey. I have few positive friends around me and I am confirmed that it is the most crucial thing you gotta have while being pregnant.

Hii Semua & Salam Jumaat,

Selepas LFC dimalukan oleh WHU laman sendiri, aku xbrapa ada mood nk blogging. Nk layan group wasap budak2 LFC pn malas. Kalau bersembang pn semua off topic. KECEWA? ya...itulah perasaan aku dan aku rasa bukan aku seorang sj yg kecewa bahkan seleuruh penyokong LFC kecewa dgn prestasi pasukan. Drama musim lalu kembali di perlawanan ke-3 setelah mengecapi 2 kemenangan 1 seri. Pertahanan paling mahal dlm sejarah LFC (kalau xsilap aku) DEJAN LOVERN melakukan kesilapan yg sepatutnya bukan dari seorang permain yg bernilai hampir 20 milion. Mungkin kerana 'tag' harga & harapan menggunung dari semua orang membuatkan beliau berada dlm keadaan stress tanpa disedari. Tapi dh stay 1 season kot..xkn sama lg..BR xnk ugut dia ker, sama mcm kes Hendo. Kena ugut nk jual terus on form & tingkatkan permainan. Harap Lovern berubah setelah dia mengambil langkah drastik dgn memadam IG & Twitter kerana tohmahan & makian dari peminat (langkah pertama utk perubahan). Abaikan makian, cacian & fokus terhadap latihan.

Dgn tektikal 4-1-3-2-1 dari Brandan Rodgers, ianya agak mudah dibaca oleh Slaven Bilic, asakan kiri dan kanan atas bawah begitu mudah di patahkan. Peluang yg ada tidak di terjemahkan dgn gol membuatkan pasukan semakin tertekan utk meraih kemenangan. West Ham selepas bermain secara over confident 2 perlawan mereka sebelum ni membawah padah dgn kekalahan membuatkan mereka berhati-hari ketika bertandang ke gelanggang keramat LFC, bermain ala2 Chelsea menjadi taruhan. Careful, Park The Bus and looking opportunity to create chances/counter attack berjaya membaham LFC bukan 1 gol..tp dgn 3 gol. Ini  lah percaturan yg BR gunakan kalau di flash back blk ianya sama seperti drama GW36 menetang Chelsea season 13/14 dimana Abg Long Gerrard kita trauma seumur hidup dia. Itu y memeritkan. Bak kata sahabat baik aku dlm ulasan dia "terlalu perit untuk dihadapi namun ia adalah realiti yg perlu kita hadapi!".

Laungan #BROut kembali di laman2 sosial. Satu dunia tahu penyokong LFC mcm mana setianya mereka terhadap kelab di sayangi. Kalah, Seri atau Menang tetap sokong..ngam dh dengan selogan kelab "you'll never walk alone". Kata2 dari Lagenda LFC Bill Shankly "kalau tidak boleh menyokong kami ketika kalah, jangan bersorak ketika menang" tidak lagi lut. Dengan berhati kering penyokong disana hampir mengosongkan stadium sblm tamat perlawanan. Bukanya mereka tidak setia lg terhadap kelab tetapi lost faith terhadap BR..Nk kata tak bagi peluang kpd BR, hampir 4 musim bersama percaturan masih sama & agak mudah di baca pihak lawan. Pemain yg sedia ada tidak digunakan sepenuhnya & kalau guna pun mereka digunakan di posisi yg salah. Mcm orang paksa hang jadi bos, tp hang xreti nk buat kerja tu & makan masa nk jadi bos..last2 bos kemana kerja tungang langgang..lepas tu semua jari menuding dekat kau bila salah. Pemain2 pn mcm tu jgk..Barisan kejurulatihan sudah bertukar tangan..agak2nya bila la manager nk bertukar pulak..haha..betul la bisik2 hater ckp, BR bagus time 13/14 sbb ada pemain mcm suarez. Seorang permain yg sentiasa laparkan kemenangan. Sekiranya keadaan xberubah, janganlah Henry tunggu smpi januari baru nk tukar manager. 

Next game lawan menyu..harap2 semua player yg main international game tu blk free dari kecederaan. Mohon BR insap & belajar dari kesilapan yg lepas.

Hi All,

August is leaving us. Hope things goes well and to all readers..May Allah Bless You..:)

Well on 25th August 3 AM me wake up to watch Arsenal vs Liverpool at Emirates. Worth to watched. Nice & Solid game from both team. Both goalkeeper do fantastic & amazing saves.  Can - Lucas pairing solid in midfield. Milner keep helping when attacking & defensive. Firmino still look so so to me..look lazy to pressure opponent when liverpool lost ball only superb pass to benteke amaze me. Couthino The Little Magician is superb. Two of his try deny by woodwork. (i'm ****** both moment...haha). Benteke oh benteke..a pin point pass from Firmino u MUST convert it by a goal but Cech has 10 hand that night. No wonder he has been awarded MOTM. And my favorite part & still remember, how Skrtel yelling at Ibe (if i not be mistaken) because of weak back pass. Most worthy player at the moment JOE GOMEZ is playing superbly for player at his age. Calm & Cool.(Ozil, Ramsey, Sanchez, Carzola all in his pocket...haha). Thank You Charlton Athletic :)

Referee also do a one or two miscall action in early game but overall control game very well.

Heard a rumor this game maybe a last game for LUCAS LIEVA. A big loss for LFC if sell him. If the rumor come true, wish you all the best LUCAS. T_T 

"His first name is Lucas, is Lucas, is Lucas. His 2nd. name is Leiva, is Leiva, is Leiva.

That’s why we like him, we like him, we like him. In fact we f#@king love him, love him, love him.

Woooahh Wooooooahhh..."

Last but not least, Draw is good result when you play at Emirates. Win is a bonus. All player do their job very well. Play as a team. Gain a confident level. To early to say this season is our season but boys show a good character. 

Next opponent West Ham United. Common! Bring it on!! YNWA!!!

Hi All,

It's very a long time we not posting something here. Well -R not feeling well but today -B will update this blog.

So, this morning me only watching our beloved club play 1st Home game against AFC Bournemouth around 3AM.

While watching the game I'm eating kokocrunch & plain water. 5' minuets AFCB Tommy Elphick score with header & referee disallowed the goal due to him offence Dejan Lovern. (fuhh main2 ya ko liverpool)

Meanwhile watching the game, I also playing Sim City because tempo of the game is slow & quite bored.

In 26' minuets Christian Benteke score his 1st debut game joining other player whom successfully score for their 1st debut for the club. (Torres, Suarez, Sturridge etc.) yeaaaahhhh!

Although the goal is offside following new FIFA offside rule but goal is a goal. referee allowed it.

2nd Half made me feel sleepy..half zombie mode..game play is bored not to good maybe our new player still trying to adapt Brandan Rodgers tactical.

We looking good at defending. Look solid. Have one two silly mistake but that can be improved. Midfield linker to attacker still need improvement, be versatile and not to static. I like watching Emre Can play. Calm & cool control center when defending or attacking. Me calling him Emre 'The Engine' Can. He can change game tempo.

Well, Pass two game what i can see BR tactical opponent can read easily. Next game against Arsenal hope BR know what to do and Hendo please don't injured to serious.

And my FPL..oh my ohh my..T_T

So, FT is 1-0. Winner still a winner although play like s**t. Don't Care.

FTHO You Hater!! Still batter then own goal..haha

Game finished around 5AM & I'm so 'lemau' and go sleep ASAP!

7AM wake up! Time to go to work..arghhhh..still lazyy..@_@.

Hi all! Sorry for the long pause in writing. BR is quite occupied with work + family commitments. Hehe. 

We received invitations to watch Unfriended premiere here in Selangor.

The story is ridiculously interesting film. It is 100% requires you to look at someone's laptop screens while have to hold your breath for few scenes.

This movie captured the life of youth nowadays, attached to devices and technologies, and how it actually affected  their life. Story began when a group of friends start Skype-ing and experiences a few 'glitches', disturbed by their deceased 'friend'. The story got twisted in the middle when you realize the restless spirit is actually quite a close friend to one of them.

Though I got to say, if this how human communicate with their friends, this quite worries me. It seems like we have lost our privacy to the social media + online. It is also quite terrifying if you notice that kids nowadays is actually have no boundaries online, bullying, sex harassing, it all can be done there! 

As an adult, I am sending advice to all, please monitor your children life on and off the line.

#BR gives Unfriended solid 4 stars for being under budget and awesomely interesting at same time!
