19.01.19 - Turned 30

Image
Bismillah. I know that this year will be tough for me with my job and other pending matters (baby, home, Umrah trip) that are unsettling and makes my mind going 24/7. But with much Sabr, I guess things will be fine. I guess. I don't know what to expect and I know that in the back of my mind that I can't have everything that I wanted at the same time. I fear for whatever that will come in my way at the age of 30, getting older and nearer to death, everything not settled yet (or is it forever not settled?). Anyways, my birthday bash started from my SILs who celebrated a week before at Changi Airport. I got a gift from them and we went to ear Saap Saap Thai's mango sticky rice and Thai Milk Tea. What a surprise really! I also just learnt how to bake brunt cheesecake and put it to test. Baked the burnt cheesecake for my colleagues yesterday and also celebrated with A on this very day. Briyani day Not full dept Both of us got present. Andrew for his leaving

ONE month till my 30th birthday!

It is so sad to bid farewell to my 20s but let's embrace it with a BANG! okay, my bang is not those crazy things I wanted to do in life anymore. Dah matang kan? hahah. Let's go back to my Just Becoming: 29 list and what I have achieved so far: Get a house and settled down (plus all the house warming parties, raya open house and lepak session with my friends)   After much emotional rollercoaster ride of wanting resale flat, kena rejected applying SBF twice, Alhamdulillah there's a new patch of land where they are building  new BTO housing estate  near my MIL's place, super near to Tampines West MRT too. Both A and I are very excited to get the results soon. DOAKAN!  Driving license (I have been procrastinating this for the longest time ever. And once pass, I would want to go Langkawi and drive. Crazy but yeah!)  I am not even near finishing and it's gonna be a year soon. huhu. nak chiong pun, duit sey. I believe I will only pass by May next year. Establish

Travelling Boots

I have always love travelling and I wished that I started way earlier, like 19 years old. I am the eldest in the family and travelling on my own or with cousins did not start only when I hit 23. So good that my brothers started earlier and go further than me because of me (when I started at 23, they were like 21, 19 and 17). haiz. I did know how my parents would react and I experimented it when I was 23. My parents, especially my mom got scared and most of my travelling journeys were either with my siblings or my cousins. So here's my journey: 2012 - Batam, Pulau Perhentian , Phuket 2013 - KL , Hong Kong , Macau 2014 - Langkawi (with Family), Bintan , Batam 2015 - Batam , Lombok (Honeymoon), Cameron Highlands 2016 - Ho Chi Minh/ Da Lat , Bali 2017 - KL , Batam, Melbourne (with Family) 2018 - Krabi , JB, Batam, Penang,  Japan, Umrah Japan didn't happen and it is not going to any time sooner coz A said its expensive. Haiz. Umrah was cancelled too because A couldn&#

Fertility Essential Oil

As most of you know that I have been into essential oils since 2015. I vouched and a beliver even though so many other people saying the other thing especially when I am using Young Living. Anywho, I find theirs are the most potent and effective! My go-to essential oil is Thieves for A because he was always sick and bad fever which could take up a week or two. After rubbing Thieves on his feet and wore socks over, he is perfectly fine the next day. I used Peppermint as my tummyache or migraine ointment while Lemon in my plain water drink to reduce weight and it helps! I bought Eucalyptus for my sinus but it didn't do that great. I still have sinus and allergic to dust and cold.  Okay enough with the intro already! After much research through the net, I slowly bought few essential oils for fertility but at that point of time, I don't know how to use it. Google too did not help me as most of them just list down, hey lavender is good for releasing stress, clary sage is good f

TTC - back at it again!

Updates on my baby journey. It is almost a year that we are TTC. I remembered that I went to polyclinic to get my referral letter in December and only saw my first gynea appointment in Feb as I was late for my appointment in January. Fast forward to today, I just finished my first round of Clomid and the results was that I am not ovulating. I had to take blood test on 21st day to know whether my progesterone is present. The reason I am not ovulating is that I have a very irregular menses and the ovulation dates varies. For other people who have PCOS, endometriosis or others, you reason and causes may differ. You really have to understand your body situation and why things didn't happen. Here are some terms that you need to know in order to figure out what causing late menses or no ovulation. Estrogen (in the female reproductive system) In low concentration, estrogen inhibin LH secretion. The higher the estrogen, the lower the FSH produced during menses. But when in hig

Please be prepared that this post WILL be emotional. Dalam tidak memberi zuriat, Allah itu memberi. فالاستعداد في المنع حقه Masih Tak Dapat Zuriat "Kenapa aku masih tak dapat zuriat?".. Posted by Cocombee on Monday, May 14, 2018 This whole process takes up a lot of time, effort, leaves and emotional craziness. To a point that I don't want to have my own child as I would want to live carefree and travel to anywhere I want easily now. Yes, it does get to that point when you have that thought "If there is nothing wrong, why do you need to fix it?" The transitions thoughts of having a baby is very funny. We both are in a different phase and thought process of having child/children. Engagement years Me: I want kids right after I got married. 4/5 is quite a good number. A: Erm, I don't have a thought of it, but if we have, it would be 2. Year 1 Me: Ok I'm so ready for baby. A: Let's give us some time for honeymoon period, to kno

I almost forgot to update about Krabi as my class starts the week after we got back. Lesson are hectic but I will let you know in another So we are having shot getaway to Krabi! I've always wanted to go Krabi because my Phuket experience wasn't as fantastic due to rainfall. I've booked tickets and accommodation and the rest is up to my husband to pay. nyeheheh. Tickets were so cheap when we booked through Scoots. 2 pax for only $230 excluding insurance but it is good. We bought from Tuesday Frenzy which is awesome. Then I got a membership from Booking for another cheaper rates, $269 for 3 nights with bathtub, airport shuttle, mosque just beside us, hourly shuttle to the beach, free wifi and the hotel owns by Muslims who serve halal food. It is called Ao Nang Phu Phi Maan. This trip is a celebration for my husband's birthday and our anniversary. so we picked 21 July to 24 July. It was the best trip ever! Felt like our honeymoon again. hehe. great place and envir
