'Manis'nya Cinta di Cappadocia

"Perkahwinan itu satu perjudian, tak semua berhak mencapai kebahagiaan"-

kak Aida

I could go on forever about life, marriage and men. Haha

And to think that I was once a girl who's only dream was to fall in love, get married and eventually have children (Ok, exaggerating a bit. That was not my ONLY dream of course)

"Ku sangka kan panas berpanjangan, rupanya gerimis mengundang"- Zamani SLAM

Life after marriage is not all smiles, it doesn't stop after 'I Do's' and it's not just about the two of yous.

I guess that's what the writer tried to convey to her readers. Kak Aida had the downside on her marriage-useless, two-timing husband; financial problems and to top it all..along comes the big C.

But because it happens to her, doesn't mean that it will be the same for everybody. Manisnya Cinta di Cappadocia is not all sweet, it comes with a LOUD point.

You have to take chances...and in return, to give them to those deserving.

It's not all hot air balloons and sunny spells out there..but hey, be brave. Some people are worth more than what they seemed.

( like Shaheizy Sam, once upon a time his face would not even be considered for lead role, but hey Bernard Chauly gave him a chance and it was well deserved. hehe)

How did I let this go on for so long

I'm thinking of an organizer. I mean new year, new beginnings, new baby..

Maybe it's time to be more organized and more in control of my life.

Considering how upsidedown my life had been in 2014, I figured 2015 needs a BIG intervention.

Don't get me wrong, I have achieved so much in this year alone Alhamdulillah; hence it's time I focus on other things aside from medicine.

..definitely getting an organizer next time I'm in town.

OMG! OMG! I am super Bored!

I knew this is coming since my pregnancy test kit became positive some months ago. Confinement is the period I hate most. Some many Dos and Don'ts..even the internet couldn't cure my boring-ness.

However, these are some of the things I do on the net these days:

1. Watch Korean Dramas online

Before the baby arrived, I was addicted to this drama:

Ceriterernya lebih kurang cenggini:
Hero dia berdendam dengan wartawan sebab buat cerita mengenai ayah dia. Disebabkan cerita yang tak betul tu a.k.a gossip, mak dia bunuh diri dan family dia porak peranda. Tapi nak dijadikan cerita, last2 bila dah besar dia jadi wartawan jugak. Some more, heroin dia ni anak kepada wartawan yang dia benci-bencikan dulu.

All was good until I was admitted to the hospital and was oncall every night with the baby, so I ended up missing a couple of episodes. Lepas tu, I couldn't find time to re-start watching and of course dah lose interest la jugak.


2. Lazada online shopping


Hmm..I managed to snagged off a couple of make-up brushes and a nursing bra. Nak beli banyak-banyak, takut tak padan so kita try test dulu. Hehe. The items haven't arrived yet so I am excited!

3. Browsing Lifestyle blogs


Among lifestyle bloggers that I'm currently following:

-hanis zalikha

-namee roslan

-blog mengenai pantang http://kisahqaseh.blogspot.com/2014/08/my-lipstick.html

-proudduck.com


4. Cuci mata di purseforum.com

Belan-belan melayan keinginan nak ber-beg baru yang tak dapat-dapat. HUHu

5. Cari make-up di Luxola.com

Sejak dua menjak ni tiba-tiba berkehendak pulak nak bermake-up tapi tak der skill. So duk cari-cari lah beginner's guide to make-up skill kat youtube dan seumpamanya.

Tapi sebenarnya, nak bermake-up pun tak boleh, yelah sekarang ni kan I under house arrest. Damn.


6. Cari jubah best 

Nak jugak cari dress, peplum top ke, skirt mermaid ke..tapi sedar-sedar diri lah ko tu baru lepas beranak. Lemak dan stretch marks bertempek-tempek. Hopefully pakai jubah takderlah nampak sangat kan. Tapi yang tak bestnya bila jadi cenggini:

spoil mood betul!

7. Layan tonton.com.my

Tengok cerita melayu la kita orang melayu. Haha. Tapi banyak drama melayu sekarang 18SX. Budak-budak takleh tengok. Jalan cerita dah best, pastu nak jugak diselitkan scene2 atas katil, berpeluk-peluk bagai. Hish tak suka I.


8. Membuang masa di youtube

Haa..yang ni paling banyak buat. Tengok tutorial belit-belit tudung, tutorial cara pakai make-up, product review, 'what's in my bag' video dan kadang-kadang layan lagu-lagu oldies cam Backstreet boys, Westlife etc (oldies ke tu? hehe)

9. Cari baju

Walaupon konfirm-konfirm tak muat, gatal jugak nak cari baju online. So cari kat website-website ni:

10. Tengok movie online di yify.tv. 

Yang ni tak try lagi sebab kena meng'download' app apa bagai.

Post partum blues

I totally get why some people get post-partum blues, depression or even psychosis. Medically, we tend to associate it with lower social class, family problems and predisposing individual factors like family history or past history of psychiatric illness.

However, that is not to say that 'normal' people are immune to it. Personally, I think we Asians are more susceptible to it. I'm sorry to say that I will attribute it again to our culture and social norms, and it's easy to understand why once you in a post-partum woman's shoes.

Case in point is 'mua' self. Hehe. Currently I am elegantly clad in T-shirt perfumed by stale breast milk and kain sarung lying in bed at 2 in the afternoon. And did I mention my best friend? the infamous bengkung. Yeah, I'm feeling ever so glamorous.

my 'modern' bengkung

Not only that, I am also a prisoner in my own home. My only function is to look after the baby and of course to obey the 'berpantang' rules-avoid sitting/walking too long, no tripping over stuffs, no ice, etc. I haven't stepped outside of the front door since the day we came back from the hospital; I think I must be vitamin D deficient by now. The only people I have contact with are my family and the baby. My source of information from the outside world are the television and internet-Thank God for technology!

Gone also my excitement of food-I am currently on a strict diet consists of rice and grilled fish. Everyday. This will of course ultimately leads to my worse enemy-constipation and haemorrhoids.


Now all of these served one purpose, that is to help women get back their pre-pregnancy shape and health (according to my mother la). Although I find it hard to become 'kurus' again with minimal activity and eating rice everyday. Right now, I'm desperately craving for Cadbury chocolate bar, which I rarely do in the usual days. I just hope I don't gain more than my pregnancy weight and somehow miraculously get rid of stretch marks on my hips, belly, bum, etc..

Still on the hunt for the perfect bag

The above was a papparazzi picture of Charlize Theron straight off a plane playing mum-sy with her gorgeous 'Stella McCartney Fallabella bag'. The world is so not fair especially for us Asians. Not only we're shorter in comparison to these movie stars, they also also have sharper nose. Haha.

The thing that I probably missed most about Dublin is my accessibility to new handbags. The change of currency, my wage plus additional custom taxes made everything much more expensive on this part of the world.

Some more, up to very recently it was very hard to get access to the internet. Thank heavens for Unifi, now I get to go on purseblog.com much more often teehee. What surprised me was how detached I've been from the handbag world- for example how come I've missed the Louis Vuitton Cappucines arrival? So gorgeous walaweii..and of course so UN-affordable (*shed tears).

Any how, I refused to let any of these obstacles to prevent me from buying THE new perfect bag that I rightfully deserved..I just have to find other alternatives that won't break my bank account.

With my new upgrade of title to a mother of two, I really need a hands-free bag that's big enough to fit in my babies accesories. Contrary to my previous post, I don't think buying a Storksak to serve as nappy bag/ work bag fits my lifestyle. I mean, if I am to invest in a good quality bag, I'm better off buying a bag that I truly love because it means that I will use it more often.
