I heart FB. Kalo tak pasal my fren commented on my FB’s status “I desperately need a massage” recommending me a place to go, mmg sampai ke hari ni la badanku lesu lemau tak hingat dunia.

So, I straight away called Daun Spa and made sure that they can cater to pregnant women. It turns out that one of the ladies is from Indon, mmg her expertise is mengurut for pregnant women and also for those after labour, so that boosted my confidence in making the journey all the way from Shah Alam to Ampang Waterfront. The spa is located at the shoplots at Ampang Waterfront 2, in fact the spa appeared in this month’s Jelita magazine pg 186-188. Haa kalo nak tau interior dia sume cmne, belek la magazine tu ek.

The tukang urut tu namanya Maya. Since my fren is their loyal customer, wah pantang ku sebut saja gue ni kawan Su, layanan diorang bagi mesra sungguh. Huhu so kalo korang nak layan mesra, try ckp korang kawan gue la plak kut eh hehehe..ntah dorang ingat ke tak.

After filling in the form, I had my feet washed and scrubbed in a wooden basin in luke warm water with limau nipis and some other daun2 inside. Pastu, changed attire dgn kain batik, we headed to the massage room and I had the BEST massage ever.  Rindu kat Bali bila dengar alunan music at the background sambil diurut. It’s an hour full body massage and costs me RM98. I prefer medium pressure type of massage, so this was just nice for me. Maya mentioned mmg ada byk angin pun inside me, baru urut sket pun dah merah dah kaki badan sume. Dat explains I dok lemau semacam je tu and I told her that I wanna reduce my migraine attacks. Since she can’t massage the urat2 kaki since I’m pregnant, kita sebenarnya pun ada urat kepala kat area tulang belikat ek..i never knew that huhu so masa dia massage mmg dia kata urat kat situ tegang and ada ketulan angin gak. Baru la rasa ringan sket pale ni. Kat area ketulan² angin tu mmg sakit bila kene urut especially bila dia nak pecahkan ketulan tu..tapi efek dia, walaupun masih lagi bentan at some areas tapi terasa sangat ringan dah badan ni coz Maya bebetul urut kat the hotspots at my body. Before this pegi massage, tak kena hotspot, mcm skeett lagi nak kena hotspot tp dia tak concentrate sgt, rasa tak puas. Apetah lagi kalo suruh sang suami urut. Aihhh dok menjerit kesakitan ada la memanjang. Kuasa jantan terserlah sangat. Mcm nak perah santan kelapa je bahu kita dibuatnya huhu. Tapi kira the experience was nice. Cam kiut je, kene ngiring kanan, ngiring kiri bila dia urut huhu takleh nak meniarap. It’s definitely going to be my monthly routine for this remaining 5mths, nanti dah pantang kene berurut style lain plak kan.

For those who wanna try, u can give them a call 03-42800808. Their website tu tak user friendly sket, so it’s best to give them a call.

Happy trying!

Skang ni dah malas nak blog. Mcm lebih suka berinteraksi real life, face to face dgn org rather than virtual..tp malangnya tak jmp sesape pon huhu. Tade ke kengkawan nak singgah umah den, borak² kosong mkn biskut kering ke..kengkadang bosan la menaip je. Serious.

Dulu sketnya malas nak join geng mak² budak, terasa betul tersesat dgn golongan tua. Skang ni, rasa makin selesa, lelebih lagi ada rakan seperjuangan kat ofis yg senior 2 bulan bab preggy ni, puas mendengar cite dia je la. Dgr dia pegi warehouse sale, dgr alkisah perut dia mengeras. Skang diri sendiri tgh mengalami keadaan tu. Perut mengeras = anak sedang lapar. Baru terasa cam ooh berilmu pengetahuan jugak aku ni. It’s hard when most of your frens are still not married, esp bila tempoh preggy camni..nak turn to them kang terasa cam aku ni tak abeh2 dok cite pasal hal preggy je, nak cite sal mende lain..pun tatau nak share ape sgt dah. Susah kan. Sama la mcm dlm blog ni gak..tatau nak cite ape dah..coz I am not who I was before..org mungkin suka kita bercerita masa kita zaman suka ria tgh prepare sal wedding, tgh honeymoon, tgh shopping..tp kalo sebut tang real adulthood matters, org mcm kureng sket nak baca..betul tak? Dats y I can’t be bothered to blog dah. Mcm tade purpose.

Tak sabar nak tunggu 26hb ni. Gaji masuk. Balik Penang setelah beberapa bulan dah tak balik dah. Pastu release of New Moon! Mmg la takkan tgk dlm jangka masa 26-30 Nov ni..but I’m excited. Can’t wait to see Jacob!

Korang dah tgk gambar Perodua MPV yg baru? Perodua Alza namanya. Those in my forward list tu of coz dah tgk kan..

It’s 1.5cc, 7 seater tp kat depan bole duduk 3 org so considered 8 seater la. Size and height lebih kurang sama mcm Grand Lavina. Harga dlm 65K gitu..open for booking. Kitorang dah tanya Perodua salesman..tp tatau lagi nak proceed ke tak.

Deep down masih inginkan Honda City, tp demi the future of lil one…….mcm kena sacrifice je.

If you’re talking about food, those close to me will know that I’m quite a fussy eater. I’m not an adventurous eater and I do not have the same taste buds like most Malays who likes to eat different varieties of food. Blame it on the genes, I inherit this from my dad since 90% of his traits all fall to me, unfortunately.

He only eats bihun. Same goes to me.

He doesn’t eat kuey teow (hailam ke ladna ke char kuey teow ke) and mee (mee goreng mamak ke, mee kari ke, mee jawa ke, mee bandung ke). Same goes to me.

But oh..he eats mee rojak. Penangan dok Penang lama sangat kut haha. That I don’t follow, I still don’t eat the mee, rojak bole la but not the mee.

He doesn’t eat laksa. Tang ni he has a geng. Hubby also doesn’t eat laksa. I hardly eat laksa, depending on my mood but usually when I eat..it will never finish, mesti mcm 3/4 je, tak reti nak ratah smp kering kuahnya.

He is a nasi eater. Same goes to me. I have to have my nasi. So, it’s really hard for me to find an alternative if I dun have the mood for rice. Mau makan apaa??

He doesn’t eat spaghetti. I do! heheh..Maggi mee of coz la everyone in Malaysia eats!

My relatives dah immune sangat dgn perangai kami anak beranak, so whenever they do open houses or makan² kat kampung ke kat umah makcik pakcik ke, there will be something for the minority to eat hehe..nak buat camne..mmg tekak xleh terima. So, kamu semua kalo nak buat makan² and nak jemput gue, ingat² la selera  gue camne ye huhu.

But, being a simple eater like me..I have quite a number of signature food which for sure ppl will remember me. “Tengok makanan ni, mesti teringatkan Mieza” cam gitu la taglinenya.

Snek Ku Keropok Bantal!

Haha. This is my favourite, favourite snack dari zaman kekanak riang gembira sampai la nak jadi mak budak ni haa. My mum will always remember me whenever she sees this at any store. She will chuckle to herself if she sees the stock of Snek Ku kat umah Shah Alam ni, mesti dia ckp “ko ni dari kecik sampai skang..tak jemu² dgn mende ni la” hik2 mmg pon.

Pisang!

Yup, yup. Ni for sure ramai yang mengangguk kepala. I lurrrrveeeeeeeeee everything about pisang. Kerepek pisang, kek pisang, cokodok pisang, goreng pisang..ape lagi eh pasal pisang? haa sume la pasal pisang I like hehe. I dunno why but there’s always a rush of adrenaline whenever I see anything to do with banana. Everyday at my office, there will be supplies of fruits coming in. Each day different fruit la of coz. Aku ni dok ternanti-nanti laa bila pisang nak landing kat pantry tu. Bila dah ada..wheee, walaupun ada signage beso² tulis PLEASE TAKE ONE ONLY, aku dulik pe. I always take 3 for myself haha. Sangat rakus.

Yang bes nya, umpan plg senang nak make me berselera and my eyes gleaming wide open is for any of you to make me cokodok/ goreng pisang hehe. Ada skali tu raya tahun ni la, I was raya-ing with hubby and my in-laws..my parents remained at my house in Shah Alam..my mum siap smsed me “ni bpk ada buat cokodok pisang ni..tanak balik ke?” hehe. Kalo gue perasan sms tu, dah lama suruh hubby balik cepat, tp malangnya tak perasan. Bila balik umah kul 11pm dgn muka mamai, leteh, comot sume cukup tp bila nampak makanan tu atas meja terus mcm eeeeeeeee cokodok pisang! tak mandi tak ape terus ngaaappppppp cokodok tu dgn hati penuh riang gembira haha. Mcm budak kecik!

Ni pon lagi satu..dari kecik sampai ke besar tak berubah selera. Dulu masa sekolah rendah slalue buat air Ribena as bekal air, dah bebeso ni pon kalo haus tetengah jalan singgah Petronas, mesti Ribena jugak yg dicapai walaupun ada banyak lagi air available. Dah pregnant ni lagi la, kalo tekak tgh kembang semcm tu, slalue carik Ribena.

Actually ada lagi byk…but these top 3 foods mmg define me the most coz dari kecik sampai besar mmg tak pernah jemu dgn makanan/minuman ni hehe.

How about you?

Haha just a quickie. Wanted to show you prove that I was an Enid Blyton fan. Was browsing thru FB..found dis pic of mine and my fren (1st crush’s lil sis btw..d one I told u in my previous entry) hehe during Hari Penyampaian Hadiah. We were standard 1 back then. I got 1st place, she got 2nd place. Reason for my attire was I took part in dancing as well..hehe menari lagu Lambada kut..tak ingat tajuk dia yg ada gelek² pinggang tu hehehe.

Comey tak saye? Comey kan hahaha perasan!

Kali ni tukar topic plak. Nak pokpek pasal buku cite. What books do you like to read during your childhood years and now?

As for me, when I was young I went to the kindergarten at the age of 3. Yup. 3 years old at Tadika Koperasi Minden, USM. Tadika yang sangat glemer coz majority sume anak² lecturer hehe. I like this tadika a lot coz it teaches you both English & BM at the same time. At that time it was considered gempaq la compared to now, nak blajar Mandarin, Arab, sume bole blasah kan? So, basically the first book series that got me glued was Ladybird Key Words Reading Scheme – Peter & Jane book with the famous sentence “Here is Peter. Here is Jane. Here is Pat the dog” haha.

There are 12 series in total with a grade of a, b, c. So, during the 3 years of preschool, my kindergarten mates and I were competing against each other on who will reach the highest level. I think I did manage to reach level 12. I can’t remember but I remembered how eager I was bringing the book back home and practice reading it with my mum coz esok nak baca depan teacher bole dapat star! haha. I would be soooooo happy when the teacher said “Ok, here’s your next book to read” pastu tgk grade dah naik from A to B to C..cam wah terer haha.

When I was in primary school, I became an Enid Blyton fan. My collection of books was exactly like the main picture above. I really followed every series of hers from The Famous Five, Malory Towers, St Clare’s and her other books. Moreover, the trend for my primary school was for those who got Top 3 position in class got to choose their own prize and it’s usually in the form of books. Masa kekecik aku ni scorer hehe slalue dpt no 1, so I got to grab the Enid Blyton book before anyone else does. Hik hik. Tapi dpt merasa peluang ni sampai darjah 4 je, pastu dah fly p UK.

Ahaa another book that I am into is Hardy Boys, the English and Malay version. That is the only Malay book that I read. I wasn’t into any Doraemon comic books ke Satria Baja Hitam apekejadah tu..nope, not a fan at all. Kalo layan cartoon pun sume cartoon English and Sesame Street huhu. Nancy Drew books gue tak kenan sgt, I guess I prefer boys compared to girls kut? Haha.

When I was in the UK, I became hooked with Roald Dahl’s book. Tau² jela org sana, dorang lebih menggalakkan the students to read books by their authors as it was incorporated in the school’s syllabus. Charlie & The Chocolate Factory was the first book of his that I read, then it went to the other books. I think my fav book is Matilda.  I hated all the drawings in his book though. Mcm cakar ayam huhu.

There are of coz other books that I like to read,  but somehow I’m more prone to be glued on authors that publishes book series. At least each time I have another book to buy, to borrow, to read. When puberty hits, I started to like The Babysitter’s Club and Sweet Valley series. I dunno kat Malaysia camne..tp kat UK there was a TV series for both The Babysitter’s Club and Sweet Valley High. Sangat suka tengok. Sangat suka dengan watak Jessica hehe.

When I came back to Malaysia, I started to abandon my books coz I had to focus on textbooks & buku rujukan Sasbadi huhu. Urghh the dreaded Malaysian education system, terus bikin gue hilang semangat membaca. Some more the books in Malaysia is DAMN EXPENSIVE. Library pon tak user frenly. Dulu masa kat UK, we were allowed to borrow 8 books per person. Ni public library ye..bukan school library. So imagine how heavenly it was for me to read from one book to the other for free. Huhu. Pastu bila balik Msia ada misi kena improve  my BM. Improve la sangat kan coz I got hooked to majalah Remaja haha. That was my reading material back then.

University level plak is the year that I officially became Sophie Kinsella and Dan Brown’s fan. There’s no introduction needed for Sophie kan..the Shopaholic series sape yg tak tau? and yes, the trend of having novels back to my shelf has started like the good old days. Sume buku beli. As for the serious side, ever since I read Da Vinci Code, I continued reading all of Dan Brown’s book and yes, sume buku beli tersimpan elok di rumah and now he has his new book : The Lost Symbol tp tak beli lagi coz it’s pricey.

RM99.90 ok! Aritu dah 2 kali pegang buku tu at The Borders & MPH tp akhirnya letak balik coz masa tu tgh pokai  hehe..guna alasan nak tunggu gaji. Skang gaji dah masuk, I think I will be buying it soon

For me, I don’t mind if it’s in hardcover or soft copy as long as it’s by SK or DB I will buy it. I can’t be bothered to wait for the price to drop to RM35.90, if the price is RM69.90, RM99.90 so be it. Lantak.

Once in a while I will venture out from my comfort zone and read other author’s writings like The Time Traveller’s Wife coz I know it’s worth the read. Sesape yg tak baca lagi sileeeeeeeee la baca ye buku ni. I tried reading Cecelia Ahern’s book but sadly I only like P.S I Love You. Her other books doesn’t bring the same spark that SK does so I discontinued reading her books. Same goes to the author of Devil Wears Prada. Apa nama dia? Lauren Weisberger! Haa I din even finish reading that book, apetah lagi nak beli buku dia yang lain..

Senang cite..I’m a loyal reader. I stick to my favourite authors. They should be grateful they have a fan like me haha.

What about you? korang mcm aku jgk ke or main blasah je baca pape buku from any genre and authors?
