My Meal Of the Day..Yummms

Today me, Ira & Oya had lunch at Pizza Hut, MJ. Suddenly I feel like eating pasta...before lunch today, I browsed one of colleague's friend blog..most of his blog is about food, recipes and eating...plus the pics of the food looked soooo tempting!

Actually, yesterday I did "tapau" pizza personal set (express combo 1) at Pizza Hut MidValley while waiting for my husband there. He was attending a talk on property investment at Cititel...and while waiting for him, I just walked around and do some window shopping...after few round of walking, I felt so hungry and dropped by at Pizza Hut (GF) to have my dinner..after I took a seat in the Pizza outlet, I ordered the meal...10 minutes after that he called me saying that the talk has finished...and he urged me to leave PH immediately and headed to MPH,where he waited for me there. So I went to the counter and asked the cashier to cancel my order and guess what the supervisor said to me, "sorry miss you can't cancel the order"..I asked her why..she said that "once the order being key-ed into the system they can't cancel it anymore"...okie..no question asked..fine with me...then I talked to her nicely with a smile that I need the order as soon as possible as my husband already waited for me. After that, me and husband headed back to his mom's house in Setapak...By the time we went back to PJ it was already 12:30 am...FYI, the pizza is still in the fridge..I thot of bringing it to the office to reheat and have it for breakfast but because I always rush every morning I forgotten about it.

When I reached the office, I still thinking about my pizza in the fridge..but I can't wait until 5:30 pm to rush back home to have the pizza.. so what I did was telling Ira that I want to eat pasta..and she's ok with it...so during our lunch time @ 1 pm, we headed to MJ for Pizza Hut.Even we have to Q for quite a while but it's worth waiting anyway.

Here are some pics during our lunch at Pizza's..By the time the pics were taken, the foods are already in our stomach...burrrppp..ooopsss!!hehe

Symptoms or Insanity?

I can't help myself thinking of what happened the past 2 weeks...I wasn't sure whether I had a miscarriage or I am actually not pregnant!!

Last 2 weeks, my menstrual delayed for a week..usually only 2-3 days delayed...what concerned me a lot was the symptoms..

Well, I have heard from many sources that you aren't supposed to have pregnancy symptoms until the 6th week.

Maybe I am hypersensitive, maybe I'm totally in tune with my body or maybe I'm freaking crazy of getting pregnant..huhuhu....So be it.

For the last 2 weeks, I was having what I would like to think are symptoms:

1. Queasy - okay, not full on nausea but definitely this feeling like a lump in my throat that wants to turn into nausea but holds back coyly. Eating something makes it feel better, then I get to burping burping burping..

2. Gassy - my stomach like being ripping apart and I guess my gastric started to hit me again

3. Laziness - Not into housework like I used to ..(haihh..I ni rajin sangat tau,tak dok diam selagi rumah tu tak super shiny). In addition to that,I am easily get tired (buat ni penat..buat tu penat...asik asik ingat bantal & katil jer..hehe)

4. Sleepy - this is not my favourite hobby though, but the last 2 weeks making this one of my favourite do's...I can sleep while watching tv and sometimes the worst part is I can fall asleep while talking to my hubby...not so me!!.

Besides that, I also experienced constipation..hehe...I guess enough for me to mention the word without elaborating it further..

What makes me think that I'm pregnant??...here goes the story;

I went to Sunway Lagoon with my family during the school holidays 2 weeks ago. That time my mestrual was delayed for 5 days and I did not suspect anything..just that I was not in the mood to play any games in the park...I'd rather walk around with my mom & sister and watched my younger bro & nieces playing in the pool...

The next day, I visited my husband's panel clicnic because I was having a fever since the day before yesterday...the doctor suddenly asked me are you pregnant??..God,I didn't mention anything about nausea or any other symptoms I had...but I refused to scan even though the doctor insist me to go for a scan..he said that if I am pregnant my pregnancy is already 2 weeks old...erm,hard to believe rite?but what made him asked me that Q??..my temperature and blood pressure seem to be normal but a bit low... however I still refused to find out because I did not want to put too much hope on it..!But then, after a thorough thinking,I decided to run the pregnancy test on my own... When I reached home, I did a DIY test using the pregnancy stick which I bought at the pharmacy. After I took the urine sample, I tried the test and the result was negative...only one line appeared..


DIY Pregnancy Test


Negative (-) Result - Not Pregnant


Back to the story, the next day..I experienced a bit pain in my stomach and when I went to the toilet I found a blood clots (coagulated) on the floor as big as China on the map.I was really panicked as I never had this blood clot during my menstrual in my life..

For that reason, recently I do some readings on miscarriage from the Internet - http://www.hcd2.bupa.co.uk/ ..It says:

"The most common symptoms of miscarriage is vaginal bleeding, which can range from light spotting to heavier than a period. You may see blood clots, brown discharge or other tissue that is not clearly identifiable"...

This doesn't include situations where you lose a fertilized egg before you get a positive pregnancy test. Studies have found that 30 to 50 percent of all fertillized eggs are lost before a woman finds out she's pregnant because they happen so early that she goes on to get her period about on time.

I called my mom to checked on this situation and she suggested me to see gynae for further check-ups..I need possibly an examination, some tests and investigations may be needed to find out what is happening.I think I have experienced missed miscarriage..and from my readings from the Internet, the treatment for this will be treatment with medicines or surgery to remove the remaining pregnancy tissue or excess blood.

Whatever it is...I need to find out from the gynaecologist whether I had a miscarriage or just my insanity to get pregnant!

InsyaAllah, hope everything going well for me...I prefer to let nature take its course...

Father's Day vs Mother's Day


One of colleague came up to me this morning and told me that yesterday was a father's day...I said to him that I know it was father's day because I have a father..uhuk..I did not mean anything to that words or as sarcastic words..it's just word with no meaning in it...oooooh sorry pal...huhuhu...erm,how should i put it....??

Talking about father's day and mother's day...why is it so important to have this two occassions in our lives??I still remember during my childhood years, childhood trips to the mall were an adventure, especially when there was an occasion such as Father's Day or Mother's Day to prompt the quest... I often gravitated towards Memory Lane's (cards & gifts's shop)..Neither of us gave much tought to what these gifts meant; they were simply reflections of a child's love and appreciation for her father or mother.Like most people, I listened to commercials that promised insight into what all dads/moms need - perfumes,watches and jewelleries or even choc & flowers...more important I learned that the gifts we give and things we do to mark these occassions are not so simple in their meaning..Why do we get dad a wallet or a tie?Because "good" fathers take care of the financial needs of the family, and these gifts symbolize his role as the provider...and because dad works so hard, he needs to remember to play, so gifts that support his favorite sport or hobby are also common. As for moms, simply because they brought us to this world and they sacrificed their time and energy to raised us to become somebody.

There is also meaning behind the things we do to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day,and this particularly evident when comparing the two occassions...Fathers are significantly less likely receive a gift, go out to eat and celebrate with extended family on Father's Day than mother's are on Mother's Day. Father's Day celebrations are also shorter by approximately two hours (I guess).. Could this be a reflection of the societal message that dads are less important to the family than mom?Yet despite spending less time celebrating,doing less and getting less, fathers reported a significatly greater enjoyment of Father's Day than mothers did of their Mother's Day celebrations. ..I wonder if your dads out there don't realize you are getting the short end of the stick..Maybe your expectations of how the day should go are not as high as Mom's, and therefore there is less dissapointment in your day.

We think more stereotypically about mothers and fathers on Mother's Day and Father's Day vs other family events such as birthdays. This is reflected in the gifts given on these occassions. The gendered nature of Mother's Day and Father's Day is underlined (that is, Mom is a woman, Dad is a man) by giving more stereotypically expensive gifts to moms than the fathers. Fathers and Mothers should be treated the same as a respect to them for raising us. Why should it matter what families do, what gifts they give or what feelings they have about Mother's Day and Father's Day?..These two occassions provide insight into what society values about motherhood and fatherhood and reinforce normative conceptions of what "good" mothers and fathers do.So, for me if a mother can have a RM 500 value of gift, it should go the same for a father...that's the act of being fair to both mother and father.

For Mother's Day last month, I bought for my mother a beads bracelet and for this father's day, I will get something special for my father at the same value as mom's gift....
