My Tasty Lentil Soup

It's a gloomy Sunday today. Both of us stayed at home, enjoyed "The International" movie, which is a very disappointing movie at all. The gap between breakfast and lunch is just 3 hours. I cooked Lentil Soup or "Turkish Soup" as my Mama called it, for lunch. For a first timer like us, this dish is foreign to us. Hahaha, end up with 5 star from Mr Mykita. This soup is best eaten with bread. For you out there, who never try this dish, should try it. Simple and easy. 

1. Just saute some chopped onion and garlic, 
2. pour in one cup of lentil, 
3. Pour water to boil the lentil, 
4. half tin of tomato puree, 
5. and a dash of salt (suit to your own taste).

I guarantee this dish is low carb and fat. Good for fertility =). Enjoy your lentil soup.

Tohmahan melanda rumah tangga
Lisdawati akui tidak wujud apa-apa di antaranya & Fauzi

Lakonan pertamanya adalah melalui filem Anaknya Sazali, tetapi kecemerlangan bakat seninya terserlah apabila berlakon dalam filem KL Menjerit sekali gus membuka mata banyak pihak. Malah, menerusi filem berkenaan Lisdawati Nazarudin atau lebih mesra dipanggil Lisda telah dianugerahkan Pelakon Filem Harapan Terbaik di Festival Filem Malaysia ke-16 pada 2003. Selepas itu, rezekinya semakin mencurah-curah baik dalam drama mahupun filem. Lisdawati juga berpeluang bergandingan dengan ramai actor berbakat dan terkenal. Dan, siapa sangka, cintanya bertaut di lokasi penggambaran apabila bertemu jodoh dengan pelakon serba boleh, Fauzi Nawawi. Pasangan yang telah dikurniakan cahaya mata perempuan, Nuraini Farhana, 1 tahun 5 bulan (semasa fotografi) kini sedang berdebar menanti kehadiran cahaya mata kedua. Lumrah dunia artis, gosip, andaian dan tohmahan sudah menjadi asam garam yang harus dilalui. Terbaru di sebalik kebahagiaan rumah tangga yang dibina, pasangan Juara Sehati Berdansa Musim ke-2 ini dikatakan sudah tidak sehaluan dan akan bercerai. Sejauh mana kebenaran cerita ini, Seri Dewi & KELUARGA sempat mengatur sesi fotografi dengan Lisdawati yang sedang sarat hamil bersama puterinya, Farhana. Sepanjang sesi fotografi ternyata sifat penyayang dan keibuan Lisdawati terserlah kala melayan kerenah anak sulungnya yang sesekali meragam. SDK: Setelah berkahwin dan mempunyai anak, nampaknya rezeki Lisda semakin melimpah ruah apabila dipilih menjadi duta untuk beberapa produk. LISDAWATI: Alhamdulilah, saya bersyukur dengan rezeki yang diberikan Tuhan. Tidak dinafikan selepas berkahwin dan melahirkan anak, rezeki saya melimpah. Bukan sahaja menerima pelbagai tawaran berlakon tetapi juga dilantik menjadi duta, antaranya adalah Duta untuk Mandian Sabun Johnsons & Johnsons dan juga produk pelangsingan badan Slim World. SDK: Lisda memulakan karier sebagai model sebelum ke bidang lakonan. Sejauh mana Lis serius dalam bidang lakonan ini? LISDAWATI: Memang saya menjadikan bidang lakonan sebagai karier sepenuh masa. Lagipun, sayang dengan bakat yang ada dan saya belum puas menceburi bidang seni ini. Walaupun sudah berkahwin, saya banyak menerima tawaran berlakon. Cuma buat masa ini saya perlu berehat seketika kerana sedang sarat hamil anak kedua. Sebenarnya saya dapat tahu pasal kehamilan ini agak lambat sedangkan pada masa yang sama saya telah menerima banyak tawaran. Namun, saya terpaksa tolak dulu tawaran dan selepas bersalin nanti, saya akan sambung kembali aktiviti seni. Filem terbaru saya berjudul Santau dan akan ditayangkan pada umum Disember ini. SDK: Nampaknya rezeki anak kedua ini agak cepat. Adakah Lisda merancang? LISDAWATI: Sebenarnya saya dan abang merancang untuk menimang cahaya mata kedua tahun depan menyusu badan. Walau bagaimanapun, inilah dinamakan rezeki Tuhan dan kami berdua menerimanya dengan tangan terbuka. Walaupun pada mulanya apabila dapat tahu kehamilan ini saya agak terkejut, tetapi saya cepat fikir positif dan bersedia menerima kehadirannya (cahaya mata kedua). SDK: Bagaimana dengan persediaan menanti kehadiran anak kedua? LISDAWATI: Persediaan macam biasa sama seperti ketika mahu menyambut anak pertama dulu. Saya tidak beli banyak pakaian baru kecuali beberapa helai untuk bayi baru lahir. Ini kerana pakaian Farhana dulu banyak dan masih elok untuk dipakai. Untuk kandungan kali ini, saya tidak mengalami alahan yang teruk. Cuma saya perasan, Farhana begitu manja dan asyik mahu berkepit dengan saya. Pantang nampak muka saya, pasti dia akan kejar dan mahu saya mendukungnya. SDK: Bakal menimang cahaya mata kedua, bagaimana Lisda memainkan peranan sebagai ibu? LISDAWATI: Saya memang utamakan keluarga dalam apa juga perkara sekalipun. Kalau boleh saya tidak akan ambil tawaran yang memerlukan saya kerja luar kawasan selama beberapa hari. Kalau setakat balik hari saya masih boleh ambil. Beza ketika masih bujang dan selepas kahwin serta mempunyai anak, keutamaan adalah keluarga. Farhana juga sebenarnya menyusu badan dan agak menyukarkan apabila perlu berpisah dengannya. Untuk merapatkan hubungan anak-beranak, saya juga sering mengamalkan cara mandi bersama anak dalam tab mandi yang dipenuhi sabun mandian. Ketika inilah saya akan bermain dan membelai tubuh anak dengan perlahan-lahan. Biasanya saya luangkan masa selama 10 minit dan cara ini sebenarnya dapat mengeratkan lagi hubungan antara ibu dan anak. Malah ketika berada di bilik air inilah saya akan ajar perkara ‘basic’ seperti di mana perlu buang air kecil, gosok gigi dan cuci muka. SDK: Memandangkan Lisda dan Fauzi sama-sama sibuk dengan kerjaya, siapa biasanya yang akan menjaga anak? LISDAWATI: Biasanya dalam hal ini saya serahkan pada emak. Emak akan bantu menjaga Farhana jika saya sibuk dengan penggambaran di luar. Walaupun sibuk, saya atau abang Fauzi tetap akan luangkan masa dengan anak. Farhana juga rapat dengan ayahnya dan abang memang rajin melayan kerenah Farhana. Biasanya kami akan ajar Farhana agar melihat saya atau abang jika ada lakonan kami di kaca TV. Kalau abang ada penggambaran di luar pun, abang akan buat panggilan 3G untuk berbual dengan Farhana. Farhana sebenarnya menjadi pengikat kasih hubungan antara saya dan abang. Note: Mereka bukan sudah tiada apa-apa tapi tiada tohmahan yang benar terjadi antara mereka.

Ice Cream Assists in Baby Making

Drinking whole milk and heavy cream and eating butter and rich ice cream can lower the risk of infertility.

Drinking whole milk and heavy cream and eating butter and rich ice cream can lower the risk of infertility caused by ovulation disorders, say researchers. But not all fat is good: Eating the much-maligned trans fats found in fried foods, packaged snacks and commercial baked goods may increase the risk of this type of infertility.

August/September 2007

 

No more diet on Ice Cream and Milk for me. This will be on my daily food list. No harm to try right?

Orang Darat Orang Air

Kelantanese would say "Orang Darat" if you are like somebody from the rural area who wears yellow shirt with red pants and green sneakers. Yesterday, while I was getting ready in the car, I asked Mr Mykita, how do I look. "Ada rupa Orang Darat tak?", then he answered, "Tak, OK je. Rupa macam Orang Air". Then we laughed together.

From what I've learned, Orang Darat is someone who lives on land, and Orang Laut is someone who lives beside the seashore. Orang Darat normally will eat all the fish that available in the river and padi field. While Orang Laut will eat all the fish that available in the sea. Sometimes, Orang Laut did not eat the 'land fish' at all. Like my Mama, she cannot eat the 'land fish' cause she can taste the dirt in the fish flesh. Well folks, that is the story of the Orang Darat and Orang Laut. Hihihi, one thing for sure, me and my husband both can eat the 'land fish' and the 'sea fish', so we should consider ourselves the 'Orang Udara'.

Naughty me in teenage years

My  latest favourite song is Mama Do from Ms Pixie Lott. This song really tells a lot about me while i was in teenage years. Hihihi, sometime i would laughed by myself when i remembered back what i did back then. All the little black secret was hidden between me and my friends. My Mama and Ayah would know nothing at all about their sweet little girl. I predicted that my Mama and Ayah will blow up their temper to the maximum if they know their little girl story. Never mind, the past is already pass. What i need to do now, is to keep both of them happy in their golden years. I would do anything to keep the smile on their face, i would do anything to prevent teardrops falling from their eyes. Love you Mama and Ayah.

 

 

Mama Do

Pixie Lott

Uh Oh Uh Oh

Every night I go
Every night I go
Sneaking out the door
I lie a little more
Baby, I’m helpless

There’s something ‘bout the night
And the way it hides all the things I like
Little black butterflies
Deep inside me

What would my mama do (Uh Oh Uh Oh)
If she knew ‘bout me and you? (Uh Oh Uh Oh)
What would my daddy say (Uh Oh Uh Oh)
If he saw me hurt this way? (Uh Oh Uh Oh)

Uh Oh Uh Oh

Why should I feel ashamed?
Feeling guilty at the mention of your name
Here we are again
It’s nearly perfect

What would my mama do (Uh Oh Uh Oh)
If she knew ‘bout me and you? (Uh Oh Uh Oh)
What would my daddy say (Uh Oh Uh Oh)
If he saw me hurt this way? (Uh Oh Uh Oh)

What would my mama do (oh uh)
What would my daddy say

All the things a girl should know
Are the things she can’t control
All the things a girl should know
She can’t control!

What would my mama do (Uh Oh Uh Oh)
If she knew ‘bout me and you? (Uh Oh Uh Oh)
What would my daddy say (Uh Oh Uh Oh)
If he saw me hurt this way? (Uh Oh Uh Oh)

Uh Oh Uh Oh
Uh Oh Uh Oh
Uh Oh Uh Oh

Wooo..Kuching Here I come

This morning, i made a drastic decision. I stumble upon return tickets to Kuching on Maulud Nabi Public Holiday next year which only cost rm156 for two person. What a budget deal. I've been looking for tickets to Kuching since August but the fare was above RM250 return and reach to RM450 for two. 

It didn't take me too long to click the book button. Hihihi. But to my surprise, Airasia is charging passengers with credit card payment rm5/way (the so called convenience charge). that is too much. for two return ticket, i was charged rm20. I think this charge should not be there. What do the others think? this charge was already started on 2nd Nov 2009, just recently. they shouldn't charge us for the credit card transaction. we already pay our annual fee for the card. this is not fair.

Fair or not fair. I'm still going to Kuching next year. This will be my 2nd trip with Mr Mykita. Hope the time will fly quickly, so that March 2010 will come nearer. 

Blog Neighbours

Have you ever wonder who is your blog neighbour? I was so curious last night, i clicked the "next Blog" button and was surprised. My neighbour was a woman, and she also was anxiously waiting to get pregnant like me. Then, i clicked her favourite blogs, most of the blogs have the same topic, about conceiving and fertility problem. One of the blog really catched my eyes, "Trying to survive in a world where I'm not pregnant but everyone else around me is",
 This woman write from her heart about how she overcome her feelings about fertility by expressing it through sketches of cartoon. The writings really cheer me up. At least I know, there are million out there who have the same problem as me.

~To become a mother is one of life’s greatest blessings. It is a lifelong event that forever changes you. Becoming a mother changes your heart, your thoughts, and your actions.~May all the mommies prayers will be anwer.Amin..

TTC update for November

According to my cycle chart, i should be having my FP phase today. I'm emotionally stable, always crave for food (salty,sweet, chocolate food) and my weight increase by 2kg this week. I'm hoping for this LP phase to be longer than it should be. My instinct is saying that the Vitex is already take effect on my endocrine system. 1st and 2nd week of taking Vitex, my body is always heating. My lips and skins was dry. After almost 4 weeks taking vitex, all the hot flush and dry lips and skin has gone. I hope my TTC will succeed this time. May Allah answer my prayer..amin..

Finally...this is it

I'm truly inspired by this new template that I've used for my blog. It did have the elements which really portray who I really am. I hope, the viewers also will like this template. RED is my new colour :)

Happy Birthday Rafidah Chin. Hope All your wish will come true someday dear 

 I remembered about my english class last week. Ms sheila said "you have to practice what you have learn so that you'll remember it".

I'm practising my english writing. I know that i'm not that "good" in english. What do you expect from a girl who lived her whole life, speaks in malay everyday, and english is her second language. 

Maybe i should go back to my hobby while i was in secondary school. Printed all the lyrics from internet, sang out loud, and search all the meaning for every little word in the whole song. That’s me. i remembered all the roxette lyrics (including their humming, hehhehe). i shared the same interest with my dear friend, ijal when i was in semesti.

Today, my colleagues are celebrating Fid's birthday. I hope I can join them, but my dear hubby will be alone. I cant leave him when he's alone. If only i could clone myself and i can be at two place at one time, i would. 

I have so much more to say, but so little time to write. Good night. Hope my day will be brighter than yesterday. I hope I could make all the people around me happier than yesterday. I hope, there's a miracle for me today better than yesterday :).

11 /11/ 2009

I'm at home today. Rashes attacked my hands and feet. OMG, very itchy. After meeting my doctor, taken my medicine, dizziness is taking over me.

Never mind, i still want to write something after a long time.

Last week, I had 2 days of English course @ level 9. learnt something very valuable from my teacher, ms sheila. she said "that there's something more important than your work, is your life. dont forget your life, because your life it's not all about your work. do not leave your family behind"

Starting from that day, I promised to myself to take it easy with my work. Is it because of the stress from work that I can't conceive till now? I promised that I will control my temper. I promised, I will cherish my love ones. I promised, I will do anything to keep my family together.

MAUT review

film MAUT, memang betul2 menginsafkan diri. satu peringatan tentang kematian. mungkin diri ni kekadang alpa, sesekali perlu dikejutkan utk mengingati mati. disana adalah yg TENTU.

babak2 penyeksaan di NERAKA, memang menakutkan. bg diri ini, rasanya tidak sanggup nak melaluinya. betapa azab, seksaan yg diulang2 setiap hari sehinggalah hari kiamat, digambarkan menggunakan teknologi terkini buat tatapan kita semua.

moga amalan kita smua diterima Allah, dan semoga kita semua tergolong dlm golongan org2 mukmin di sana nanti.. Amin..
