Half ze Time

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم We had a blast on my MIL's birthday. Celebrated with so many food until we had food coma. Happy 74 birthday Mak. A and I only call her Mama during our conversation coz we wanted to distinguish between my mom (Mak) and my MIL (Mak). hahah And because it was still during phase 1, we couldn't have our normal birthday celebration with everyone because we had to stagger our meet ups. Lucky that foodchains are open, we bought ondeh ondeh cake from Swee Heng, dinner from Qiji and durian from a new fruit stall downstairs. And then we only realised that we were 1 day early. hahahah. takpelah, we gave way to our other brothers and sisters in-law to come the next day. Sad with all these restrictions but happy at the same time we managed to celebrate and made her happy.   My mom advised me something very important. Treat our mother in-laws like our own mother because they raised your husband to be the man that you married. And whatever happens between you and your hu

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 2020 has been a crazy roller coaster for everyone. End of 2019, everyone cheered for the new decade and then Covid-19 slammed in mid January from China. All hopes and dreams were crushed especially those who are graduating from diploma and universities, whether dream jobs, internship sign ups or grad trip. Economy is looming, many were retrenched and some companies could not sustain and collapsed. But in such distressed moments, many good things that emerged from Covid-19 that we could learn.  Earth is healing itself. having the whole world to be shut and stand still brought  down CO2 emission from all over the world. And ozone hole was shut but scientists were saying it was not related to Covid and lesser pollution. People are more empathetic during these terrible times and helping one another even they don't have enough. There's so many donation and charity work going on. Nak sedekah just with the tip of our fingers je. Our frontliners are the best!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The Covid (or back then we were calling Wuhan virus) came to our shores on 23 Jan but it was contained. Not much news and spreading were low, so we still proceed with our travel plans  to KL for my cousin's wedding from 20 - 23 February. We were very cautious about it too, wearing masks on flight and sanitized everything on plane (at that point of time, it was not a thing. wearing mask is a taboo that only sick people have to wear and hand sanitizer or washing hands were not a norm). The itinerary: Thursday Landed KL, go to Astaka Moroccan at PJ Check-in at Vortex KLCC apartment, shopping at Perdana Wait for my brothers to come, go I-City   Dinner at Tapak Friday Lunch at Rebung restaurant by Chef Mail   We came late and it was already tea time! Went to Boat Noodle at SOGO Friday prayers shopping at Mid Valley/ Berjaya Times Square/ KLCC/ Pavillion/ Bukit Bintang Dinner at Tapak with cik Asmah family Go rumah Kak Diana Saturday The wedding, 9am nikah, recept

Things you need to know about IVF There's a lot of needles and poking you need to do on your own If you think that IUI is invasive, IVF is more invasive in a sense that had to do a day surgery to take out the eggs and cultivate them.  Money will always be the factor The trips that you have to make to the hospital and then to work Emotional! Get yourselves ready man. I told myself and prepared myself that I may need to undergo 3 cycles for it to happen because of my PCOS but I am happy if I can get my first shot successful The 3 months before IVF: Doctors will all of us to go naturally with medicinal assistance. Letrozole or Clomid and asking you to lose weight to get higher chances of getting pregnant naturally. For my case, I wasted my 3 months and only lose 1.5kg, I started revamped my diet, eating healthily, exercising and basically taking care of myself more.  If you are someone who is overweight like me, try to lose 5kg or more during this 3 months and more towards your IVF fo

We had to clear leave by the end of the year I had not planned to go anywhere specifically because was too last minute. Every weekend between Oct - Dec 2019 was fully packed between house warming, weddings. So we decided to take a little break to Bintan from 23- 25 Nov. I only planned to go and see the sand dunes and the fireflies (which I bough from Klook). And staying in a private pool villa has been our go to nowadays. The quarry turned to beautiful emerald pond See the different shade of my tudung? Because it was raining heavily Look at that pool Exploring the beach and taking gazillion pictures here Fireflies in a bottle How the fireflies look like Really love Huawei's night mode Before heading back. Nice food but expensive Here's a clip of the video we took using Tello, our first drone. View this post on Instagram A post shared by حفيظة🌻 (@hafizahhwahab) on Dec 27, 2019 at 9:17am PST
