Elyaz's Birth Experience - Doctor Idora, Pantai Bangsar

Image
Assalamualaikum again (after a loooongg break) 😊😉😉😉 Alhamdulillah, I have safely birthed my third son on 3rd June 2017 (8th Ramadhan). It was the best experience I ever had and would not mind to repeat. Let's begin with my pregnancy period. This time, it was an unexpected pregnancy. We didn't have it in our agenda at least for that time. When we found out that we were pregnant, it was already around 8 weeks maybe (couldn't recall exact date). At first, I could see some changes in my body but I just assumed I was getting fat and planned to do some weight loss exercises and put on the girdle to hide the tummy. I really had no idea I was already pregnant at that time. So, after confirming that I was pregnant, I started to maintain a healthy diet. This time around, I'm just not excited to eat nuts and dates like my previous pregnancy. I just ate them occasionally. Everything was Alhamdulillah smooth. Since I had an uncomfortable birth experience before, I started to...

Rafael's birth story - October 2014, Prince Court Medical Center

Image
Assalamualaikum and hello.. Last night I had a very random dream about my previous OBGYN, Doctor Seri Suniza from Prince Court. In my dream, I went to visit her for antenatal check up and considering to give birth with her which I find very weird since my experience with her can be considered not that good. So, today I want to share with you my birthing experience with Doctor Seri Suniza in October 2014. Disclaimer : This is my personal opinion. It might not be the same as yours. Firstly, when I found out that I was pregnant the 2nd time (around Januray-February 2014), I immediately made a phone call to PCMC and booked an appointment with Dr. Seri. I knew that she has lots of mothers queuing to meet her for antenatal check up. So, I got an appointment at my 5th month check up since earlier slots are already full! I'm very keen of meeting her for antenatal since I received a lot of positive feedback about her. My first visit was very short and simple. We greeted each other, ...

Pencarian Perawat Berpantang @ Confinement Lady

Image
Assalamualaikum.. Minggu ni dah masuk minggu ke 27 untuk kehamilan kali ketiga. Untuk berpantang kali ni, saya bercadang nak berpantang di rumah sendiri sahaja memandangkan anak sulung sudah pun masuk darjah satu. Kedua ibu bapa dan mertua pun sudah berumur dan untuk tidak merumitkan urusan mereka, saya pilih untuk berpantang di rumah sendiri. Oleh itu, saya telah mulakan pencarian untuk confinement lady semasa berpantang nanti. Masa hanya tinggal 3 bulan sahaja lagi. Kebanyakan perawat pantang @ Confinement lady (CL) mempunyai jadual yang padat. Untuk memastikan saya mendapat CL yang bagus dengan harga terbaik, saya perlu melakukan tempahan awal. Terdapat pelbagai jenis rawatan yang ada di pasaran. Saya ingin mencari CL yang ada servis urut, bertungku, tangas, mandi herba, pemakaian bengkung dan juga pilis/tapel. Untuk pengalaman anak pertama, saya tidak mengambil mana-mana CL. Hanya upah tukang urut untuk tiga hari sahaja. Almaklumlah, tiada pengalaman dan juga tiada pend...

3 days 2 nights in Singapore

Image
My parents had to attend a wedding invitation in Singapore. So, we tagged along and planned for a short holiday. At first, we plan to fly to Singapore but since it was very short notice, the ticket prices were unreasonable. So, we decided to drive. It was a 3 hours drive from Melaka. The kids were excited of course! Rafael and Yousef in the car. We took a lot of selfies and played games on the way. There are a list of things you need to know before driving your car to Singapore. Please refer here . Our process was very smooth since we downloaded the forms and filled it up beforehand. It only took us around 10 minutes from queuing, immigration and entering Singapore. Super fast compared to our previous experience when we took the bus to enter Singapore. That time, it took us more than an hour of queuing at the immigration. Totally not recommended if you're travelling with kids and senior citizens. Our first stop, Sentosa Island. We arrived during lunch hour, so let...

Birthday celebration at Coffeeology Cafe & Restaurant, Melaka

Image
Assalamualaikum and hi everyone! I have been thinking of blogging since years ago but only made the first move today.  I'm Irra from Melaka.  I just celebrated my 34th birthday last week. Thanks to everyone for the wish and celebration!! My husband treated us at Coffeeology Cafe & Restaurant , Bukit Beruang Melaka.. It's a family friendly cafe with choices of Western and Malay food. We were given some games to play which the boys enjoyed a lot! Mama, Papa and my little sister joined us for the dinner. Rafael and Yousef enjoying the games provided. Rafael is having vanilla milkshake. It's yummy and not too sweet. Perfect to my liking. Rafael having a try at arranging the blocks. I had fish & chips. The portion was big, enough for me to share with the boys.  The 'chips' are potato wedges which was good. The fish was just ok, nothing special. This burger was my little sister's meal. Presentation and taste was good. Husband or...
