Body Issues- How to Reduce Weight in 2 Weeks

Warning: there is no advert on any slimming product or fitness regime in this post. I just want to share / provide alternative perspective on fighting with weight issues. I am not a person with the best body or the best weight. Believe me. But I have struggles too. for me personally, I started since standard 3 since that boy that I secretly had crush on called me "DONUT" because of my fair, well rounded face. I still remember the way he was standing next to the field, shouting, calling me "Donut!Donut" as if "cheering" for me during my 4x4 relay. He was the one who started it. He made the 10 year old girl me at that time, believed that I have some serious issues with my body. Then at high school, of course I was still carrying those round cheeks, and I was not the skinny type either. I think my waist was 28 at that time. I was in plump category. I was so embarassed with my face I never lipat my tudung. The body issues also became serious towar...

Suphie's been having bad cough Went to pcmc last sunday and Dr Sahari said he could hear some wheezing. He prescribed like 3 minutes neb just to get her chest clear Although losing a bit of appetite she's still active Thnk u daddy for taking 2 days off to tag along with ummi to kuching for work and taking care of the kids in the hotel room Their timing was a bit off track because of the travel but they seemed happy throughout the stay Maybe they don't  mind traveling as long they have either ummi or daddy in front of them all the time And today I'm  missing my babies at work Mood: Let's go for more holidays

post 6 weeks

kids asleep - checked! breakfast for hubs - checked! express milk - checked! okay now i can blog! no..wait..my breakfast.. mom's cekodok pisang - checked! My life currently still revolves mainly around the house (read: baby and a toddler). so when there's an offer to go out for jln2 at shopping malls or even for quick bite, my face would certainly glow and I become the happiest woman ever. haha. oh we also got quinny zapp xtra2.o stroller which takes less storage. and makes hubs so happy. eh apa kaitan? pls relate the sentence to shopping malls, baby and a toddler. Since 6 weeks Suphie has learnt to sleep through the night. she sleeps around 11pm and wakes up around 5.30 am. long feeds in the morning and night. has quite a vocal when she cries. and still vomitting. really hope you'll be okay soonest sayang. couldn't bear to see you vomit that much cos we know it hurts Hannan is just cheekier each day. she usually sums up her one day activity just before she...

One after another

Was ready to go back home today but after further analysis, Dr Fauzi said it's not possible. I'm now getting the asthma symptoms. Tightness on chest.shortness of breath.dizziness. Walking for more than 3 minutes is not a simple task right now Shortness of breath is actually normal in pregnancy, but Dr Fauzi said that my lungs are still inflammed and the airways are tight. Some ppl get this after the lung infections are gone. So here I am.Day 4 in the hosp. But hey, there's a reason for everything. Thnk u Allah. May this make me closer to You.

Bronchitis and Pneumonia in Pregnancy

Image
So I've been coughing for 3 weeks and having fever, flu, dizziness in between The 1st week:cough was very bad that it woke me (and hubby) up several times.i just couldn't sleep It came with nausea and belly cramps that I  thought I was in premature labor.of course I was panic and put hubs in panic mode as well. I was at 29 weeks Apart from that I didn't expect anything else because I thought that they are ordinary coughs that I used to have since school days I remember my  standard 3 math teacher, Mrs Tan, upon hearing my cough from the back of the classroom, said in her high pitch: "Siti, kenapa kamu batuk kung kung mcm anjing?" -_- Anyway,during my antenatal appointment with Dr Seri few days later Dr Seri suggested to me that they are not ordinary coughs. She set my appointment with Dr Fauzi from the respiratory clinic right away And from Dr Fauzi I heard the word bronchitis. He prescribed antibiotic and phensedyl and some lozenges 7 days ...

and the best gynae in KL/Selangor is..

no, I don't know the answer to that. of course I can't say anyone as I only saw not more than 10 gynae in the last 6 years but I can talk about those I met and had personal experience Like Dr Onny Although I was uncomfortable to have a male gynae at first, I braved myself It turned out to be a good experience Ask him tonnes of questions He seems to be more than happy to answer and explain them with graphics and references I heard that he used to have his own specialist clinic called pusat perubatan ibukota in KL Old school, fatherly figure, sometimes can be funny without him even realizing it Very detail and careful attending his patients Make sure you remember your health record like last day period, rubella taken or not, type of blood, etc etc..before going to see him as he will ask them Dr Hamizah from LPPKN Jalan Raja Laut is an angel She's very gentle, supportive and attentive sometimes give you religious point of view on why you still...

new new year resolution

I have to refrain from nescafe!!!!

of beauty and health review?

I've got open pores, acne scars,oily zone on my face bulging tummy, flabby arms, big feet just to name a few so since I have all those imperfections stated above so of course I've got to get myself some beauty products. One of the brands that I got for myself was from bodyshop just few months ago, thinking I need to introduce myself with all natural green products. Hence I tried the compact powder,shampoo and hair serum. I love the shampoo and grape seed hair serum and I think the combination works just fine, but I don't like the compact powder as it caused my skin to be too dry. After confinement last year I bought Shu Uemura compact powder and whitening oil cleanser. Love both. I always bring a small bottle of this oil cleanser in my handbag so that it's easy to thoroughly cleanse the face before taking wudhu'. The 450ml whitening oil cleanser lasted for almost 1 year now and I think it can last for another 3 mont...

married couples and pregnancy

lately i got few people coming to me either personally or through e-mail asking my opinion about pregnancy problems firstly I understand completely your predicament be it 2 years, 3 years, 5 or 10 years or marriage waiting for a child to complete your life seems to be such a long wait 1st year is usually bearable for these couples things like "haa..belum ada isi lagi?" or "bila nk ada anak..jgn plan2.." seems to be the usual teasing but entering 2nd year,the pressure suddenly feels heavy on us women and you suffocate everytime you get those remarks or comments sometimes you feel like saying "makcik ni takde hal lain ke nak cakap?" or "can you talk about something else?" but of course, you just smile and walk away or do something to distract that person if you have additional energy, you'll say things like "belum ada rezeki" or "takpe, honeymoon dulu" yup, not easy to wives make sure that you are not carr...

Baby health 101 - thrush

Image
last week was a bad one for our lil baby I noticed there were some white patches in her mouth and lips on Wednesday but I thought it was milk residue or her lips just got dry since she was also teething baby on wednesday night when the evil white patches appeared ;( I hesitated to go to the clinic because she seems to be all fine when she's with me the only different thing was she's a bit crankier she had fever but still I thought it was because she's teething and then she was not eating and crying and everything just seems wrong and my dad suggested that I bring her to clinic because he suspected those white patches are the culprit so I took emergency leave on Thursday and brought her to a clinic nearby but I was not convinced with the doctor so I called PCMC to get their opinion the next thing i know, I was already on my way to PCMC bringing lil princess baby on thursday. on our way to PCMC. I think she was having pain at that pointed area she cried s...

the day she got sick

Image
it was Monday night, after Maghrib when we noticed that Hannan's developing a fever so i put on her koolfever patch and hubs were trying to give her panadol syrup but the moment she tasted it she suddenly vomits everything that she had it was a lot. it can fill up a mini bucket some even went out from her nose and she was crying loud. sad. she looked as if she's in great pain ummi got panicked. ummi held her tight and cried too i didn't know what to do at that time except for bf her i just hope whatever she's feeling at that point of time would quickly go away and she would stop crying daddy looked calm i guess he was playing his calm role at that time at the clinic the nurse took her temperature - 38.5 high and the doctor did physical examination on her ear, throat, tummy, hands, feet, eyes-all seems to be ok so the doctor suggested that it may be caused by virus and should she shows any signs of flu or cough she should be brought to the clinic...

the last visit

Image
yesterday was my last follow up visit with Datuk Dr. Kuljit, ENT Specialist at Prince Court Alhamdulillah..finally my left ear is getting better..i guess the say-no-to-aircond-during-bedtime attitude and the hot weather for the past few weeks helped reduce the fungus activity.. of course I didn't tell that to my doctor.. it was only my layman logical explanation ^__^ baby and daddy accompanying patient while waiting for doc

Daycare Unit, Prince Court: 28th Feb 2012

Guess what happened? Huh? Hah? oohh.. hmmm... zzzzz..... hahah..nope..it has nothing to do with Hannan.. it's me.. since the stubborn fungus decided to reside happily in my left ear, Dr Kuljit (check out my handsome doc) suggested that I go through this 1 hour procedure where I need to go to the OT, put under sedation while doc do all the "cleaning" process. ( I'm telling you, this ear thing better take great care tau!) We arrived PCMC at 7 am and went back at 11.30 am after 2-hour observation in the day care Dr Kuljit reminded me to make sure that the ear to be super duper dry.. or.. welcome back yuckies!

What's with the ENT clinic? ermm.. I've been suffering from what I believed as ear infection for 2-3 weeks my left ear was kinda "blocked" and it was painful and itchy and attending meeting was not a good thing cos i can't hear properly and I had to sit where my right ear can hear the chairman -__- yeah, big time and so I went to hospital pakar an-nur bangi twice when the gp did "flush" on my left ear but they didn't know what was it and what caused it i was relieved after the "flush" but the pain and irritation came back after few days so i went to mediviron clinic at diplomatic enclave where the nice doctor had me referred to ENT specialist and that was the story no i didn't get any of these sleepy baby with daddy accompanying the patient And the story goes I had appointment with ENT specialist at PCMC, Datuk Dr. Kuljit Singh this afternoon since he is the only one available today He was nice and friendly, gree...

Remember when i said that I didn't get my confinement massage? My body was all aching due to 35 weeks of extra kilos plus 38 days of blood loss so dearest hubby who is all-sympathy suggested to find nearby spa for total relaxation and so i was surfing my fb and saw one of my friends mentioned this place i immediately made a call and made reservation after hearing through the phone that the 60-minute massage rate was only RM60! "waaa..that's so cheap for a resort spa!" my heart yelled or so i thought googled image googled image: the pool googled image:  towards the end of the corridor is where the locker room /bathrooms /jacuzzi /sauna located. on the right side are the massage treatment rooms locker room. they provide bath robe, sarong, towel, slipper in each locker the changing area the sauna and steam room? googled image: inside the sauna googled image: the massage room apparently, i misheard the rate (what to d...
