..BERMAIN SUDOKU MENGUJI MINDA..

BORINGGGGGG...I'm so sleepy today...I try not to sleep because too much sleep is not good for the baby..so I decided to go to town to do some walk and maybe..maybe..grab some ice cream...:P..but after a few consideration with my big fat body..I think I can't make it..so I decided to go to Seiyu by car to do some shopping...and to buy ice cream (main priority..haha) ..so I called my hubby for permission (good wife ha!!..hehehe..).. ME:: "B...can I go to Seiyu??..I'm so bored and I want to do some shopping and buy some ice cream"... B ::"I think it is not a good idea..your belly is getting bigger and I think it is dangerous for you to drive" ... ME::" but i'm so bored in this house I want to get some fresh air and ice cream".. B::" watch TV or do something inside the house..its better"... so I didn't get my hubby permission..sob..sob.. :(... suddenly I looked on my bed and I saw Sudoku...YEAH!!..I remember..Carrie gave it to me before..maybe I should try this..I open it anddddd...hmmm..blurrr..this is the first time I play sudoku..they have 9X9 grid and each of nine they have 3X3 grid with some of it have number and others you have to fill in..its a mathematic puzzle..inside 3X3 grid you have to fill with1 to 9 number and make sure it is not the same with number next to them..you guys should try this!!

..ME AND SATAY..

When season change especially when spring start..most of Japanese will celebrate it with hanami..hanami is where most of Japanese had their picnic or bbq under Sakura tree..it is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, "flower" in this case almost always meaning cherry blossom (sakura)..this year is my first hanami in Japan because last year I came and sakura already finished..so..for this hanami I have to prepare food for bbq.. It is hard to live in other country without any knowledge in cooking..like myself..i’m a bad cook..tapi kena belajar for my husband tummy…hihi..for this bbq I made SATAY!!!!!..my mom recipe..rasa ok la jugak..habis la yang penting..:P..so I want to share this recipe for those who live in other country than Malaysia (Kalau kat Malaysia order je…byk kat Kajang..) and for pregnant mom craving for SATAY…

..EATING HEALTHY WHILE PREGNANT..

Eating Healthy while pregnant is important…a good diet can safeguard against health problems during pregnancy and also helps your baby to have good health right from the start…for most women, the nausea eases after the first trimester…like me my morning sickness ended at the end of 5 months pregnant..I read this article on the internet how to ease feelings of nausea…

..eat little and often..

..carry food with you, if you find that eating helps quell sickness..

..avoid rich, spicy, fatty or acidic foods..

...try ginger, which can help relieve sickness – in biscuits, tea, crystallised or freshly grated and added to cooking...

..take lots of fluids but cut down or cut out caffeine...

At my stage now..which is 34 weeks..half of my fat goes to the baby..thats what I read on the internet..so I try not to eat fat food and started new diet which I think all pregnant lady should try..i ate less amount of rice..eat a lot of veggie and fruits..and don't forget...milk..I learn how to make simple fresh salad from one of my Turmenistan friend..thanks Aysenem..How to make it?? Here the ingredients that you have to prepare for the salad..

..Lettuce..

..Cucumber..

..Tomato..

..Salt.

..Olive oil..

..Basil(optional)..

First of all you have to washed all this salad..and put it inside bowl..and then mix with salt and olive oil..put some basil if you have..anddddd….tadaaaaa..

ready to eat….I prepare this salad as my dinner now..no more rice at night..:P

...I'M OFFICIALLY FAT...

Check up..check up..check up..This is the first time I had my baby check up without my hubby..I was surprised I gained 3kg and my baby just gained 50gm in 2 weeks..but the doctor told me nothing to worry about..just I have to control my eating habit and stop eating sweet things…I recalled what I ate this whole 2 weeks before my check up today..and I realized I ate a lot of fat food that I’m not supposed to take..such as I baked choc fondant …I ate 90% of it and 10% my hubby ate it..:P. and after that I had this called ‘mamak nite’ with all my sendai buddy to welcome our new Malaysian friend..and I ate 3 nan..and then I went to Izumi outlet to buy some omiyage(present) for my family and I begged my hubby to buy chocolate cookies for me..and I ate it all by myself..I had a few chocolate milk bar leftover from the choc fondant I made..and I ate them all..and yesterday I had my choco donut with chocolate ice blended..yummyyy…and turned out I gained 3kg in 2 weeks..congratulations Iryd! Hahaha…

I’m happy to see my baby genki(healthy)..and see her movement on the scan screen..wish my hubby could see it too..can’t wait for my next check up!!!..
