How I hang my tapestry

1. Buy this velcro tape from Daiso. One for RM5.30. I bought two.

2. Cut them to the size you want.

3. The velcro. 

4. Peel them off and tampal them together (the velcro part, not the sticky one)

5. Tampal the sticky side on your tapestry and the wall.

6. Done!

Added the fairylights. 

I got my tapestry from ig @tapestryad.co , do check them out!

18 weeks maternity checkup!

17 weeks (14 September 2016)

Masa ni baru habis raya Aidil Adha, and then maybe sebab banyak sangat travelling ke apa, terus demam and tak sedap badan, muntah apa semua padahal sepatutnya sebelum tu dah okay, takde muntah apa. Then saja lah pergi checkup and scan sebab nak tahu baby okay ke tak, risau pulak tak okay.

Nampaknya baby sihat je. Siap tak malu tunjuk gender yang obviously girl. Tak sangka 17 weeks dah boleh tahu girl ke boy. Terus happy!

Time ni doctor bagi ubat batuk and selesema yang pregnant-friendly. And obimin for prenatal vitamin. Time ni checkup dekat klinik biasa dekat dengan rumah je.

Total cost scan & ubat: RM120.


18 weeks (21 September 2016)

The actual appointment dengan gynae at Ampang Puteri yang dah book almost two months before. The best part of Ampang Puteri, you can book your appointment online je!

Just fill in the form and they'll email you.

The reasons why we choose Ampang Puteri is because dua orang adik memang lahir dekat situ, and memang dari kecik familiar dengan hospital tu, and dekat dengan rumah parents. Takde option lain dah rasanya haha

The appointment is for morning session 9.30-12.30. Dia first come first serve so on that day, kitorang sampai around 10am, dapat nombor 6. So sementara tunggu tu, pergi makan kejap, tunggu kejap, around 11.30am baru boleh jumpa doctor.

Alhamdulillah, the baby is all healthy and active. Everything is fine. Doctor pun confirmkan yang it's a girl! And dengar her heartbeat <3

Next, kena buat test darah. It's a normal procedure. Kalau ada apa apa masalah, baru diorang call. 

Then baru ambil ubat yang dah prescribed by the doctor.

Caltrate is for calcium supplement sebab malas minum susu, NeuroGain to develop the baby's brain etc.

Consultation fee: RM250

Scan: RM120++

Blood test: RM150

Medicines: RM100++

Total: Around RM600++

Lepas confirm gender, barulah semangat shopping barang baby! :P

My first trimester essentials

1. Minyak cap kapak - This is my life saver. Everyday memang sapu dekat kepala and dahi because I can't stand the smell of everything. The smell of the office, the toilet (padahal perfume toilet), and all the foods.

2. Vicks - helps with my nausea. I normally rub it under my nose to prevent other weird smells. Bau vicks sepanjang hari pun takpe.

3. Plastic bag and tissues- to vomit every time after I had my meal, I'm used to the routine and just prepare plastic to puke after each meal. And always ada plastik dalam kereta. Lots of them.

4. Asam - to prevent the nausea. Always ada dalam bag. Segala jenis asam beli.

5. Baby Bump Apps. I totally love this apps because I can know how many weeks I am, the size of the baby and daily tips!

6. Body lotion - At first I bought Palmer's but I hated the smell! So I tried to avoid that by using my aloe vera gel (review here) which soothes my tummy and hopefully, can prevent stretch marks.

7. Water. For hydration since muntah banyak and tak larat makan.

8. Journals and baby books - Bought at BookXcess, Fahrenheit 88. The price is so cheaaaaap! I bought these during my 7 weeks.

9. Folic Acid - I started taking folic acids since 6 weeks, although takde lah makan setiap hari. I normally take my vitamins before I sleep to prevent nausea. Lepas makan terus tidur.

10. Lipbalm - Burt's Bees Lip Balm. My fav.



The products that I used worked for me but it may not work for you since every pregnancy is different, but hope it helps! Thanks for reading!

[Review] Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

Product name: Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

Packaging:
Transparent green plastic tub. Big and bulky, not travel friendly, not hygienic sebab setiap kali nak guna kena celup berkali kali dalam tu. Better pakai spatula.

Texture & Scent: 
Sticky kalau apply banyak but it absorbs fast. Love the scent. Refreshing and natural! Rasa nak rendam muka dalam tu bila penat.

How to use:
Can use as a moisturizer, mask, makeup base and after shaving cream.

My thoughts:
My face feels tight and irritates when I used it as moisturizer/mask. I think its probably due to the alcohol & parfum. Hence kalau dekat muka, I used as undereye gel to reduce puffiness. Or maybe because my skin is a bit sensitive/dry.

However I love using it as body moisturizer! It reduces the dryness of my skin. And some plus point, since I'm pregnant, it is super great to reduce the itchiness of my tummy. Asal gatal je, sapu this gel to soothe my tummy and hopefully, can reduce stretchmarks (Berharap)

Memang wajib ada tepi katil, setiap malam pakai sebelum tidur.

Price & Where to buy
RM32.90 from Nature Republic's outlet. (I bought mine at Sunway Pyramid) Sometimes they got offer, 4 for RM100.

Can also get it from hermo.my and althea.kr for cheaper price!

Tips
Baik baik dengan fake products, especially from unauthorized online sellers.

Repurchase:
OF COURSE! Very recommended!

That's all. Thank you for reading!

My dream came true vanity from IKEA (almost)

I've always wanted my own vanity table. A real one. Bukan meja lepastu alas dengan kain putih then letak semua makeups. My every day routine: berangan, buka website IKEA, kira budget.

And finally, for my 24th birthday, my husband bought me my dream vanity table from IKEA.

And gigih pasangkan memalam.


Prices:

1) Two Alex drawers, RM280 each

2) Melltorp table top, RM159

It's quite big, I feel like buying a smaller one because it consumes space.

3) The cheapest tool, Marius, RM12.90

4) Mirror

I actually bought the other one, yang ada bekas kaca boleh letak barang, tapi tak jumpa pula dekat website IKEA.

The result:

I wanted to buy this light and mirror, 

Tapi susah nak drill dekat dinding and nanti nak pindah, satu hal pulak nak cabut.

Right now, I am so happy with my vanity! Cuma kerusi tak selesa kalau duduk lama lama. Nak a comfy chair please.

Maybe like this? :p

My fav place! <3
