A Homemaker’s Diary

It took me 2 days to realize the fact, and 2 pregnancy test sticks to confirm it. I am yet to see a gynae as the chosen one is on leave until 5th May, that if she is still accepting new patient this year..huhu!

At first I thought the KFC Combo Rice meal plus F&N Strawberry would induce the hCG hormone level which resulted in the 2 pink lines, so when Hubby shouted positive while I was busy throwing the urine in the cup into the toilet bowl, I thought it might one of his silly pranks.

We were not really jumping in joy as we were scared there might be something wrong with the stick. So I convinced myself to go to sleep and wake up early in the morning to test on the second stick..heh!

Well, it can’t be all wrong, right? So here I am pregnant and hungry all the time. I hope by the time we go and scan at the doc, I can already see the tiny flashing light of the beating heart.

I think I need to sleep but somehow at 2:30am Wednesday I am still awake in front of my notebook, thinking what to write for this blog.

Now when I look at this picture, it does look like some old painting but actually it was taken in Sri Ayutthaya. Since the lighting inside was so dimmed, it was hard to make it very sharp unless I use the flash. I am yet to update all the food story in Cintarasa but I will be doing that later.

These days whenever I’m talking about food it gives me some starving feeling, like I want to eat something every time. For those who are wondering, yes God has answered my prayers. I still need some double triple confirmation so I will wait at least till this weekend to see how accurate those two pink lines on the stick are..heh!

Hubby is back to work today and I have to complete the bunga dulang order…huhu! Being Hubby’s accountant, I have to complete the income tax form as well. Not sure how much we have to pay to LHDN this year despite the PCB deducted every month…damn! So for all the government servants out there who earn their salary from our tax money and don’t have to pay tax on their own, please do your work diligently, jgn nak mengular je..

Anyway, the last one week has been very productive. Remember the list – My April Plan that I made, I can almost checked each item off. I went to the Craft exhibition, visit the friend’s booth and did the batik painting. I went to OU and learned glass and porcelain painting. Thanks to Hubby for waiting and as a result of him window shopping from one end of One Utama to another, I got a new wallet for my birthday present. Yesterday, we went to the Gardens and checked out the Art Friend shop, what I can say is that I like the shop very much…nanti nak pegi lagi once I have the list of craft stuffs to buy there.

We went to Borders and MPH and I managed to get glass painting book. There is supposed to be a few copies in bargain table in Borders but the staff there couldn’t find the book. So instead I spent around RM90 for the creative glass painting book, but I know I will never regret it.

Oh, the sample of bunga dip lilac and olive green was approved by the client and she already banked in 50% of the total amount. That order will be due before 20th May. Emm..the sofa in IKEA is still under consideration. I think I will let the old sofa ranap entirely before I buy a new one. I got the mugs I need for decoupage class and the nylon brushes as well.

So that leaves the artificial flowers shopping. I think I will go once I get all the barang hantaran from my niece so that I get the whole idea on how to gubah her hantaran. I will be doing hantaran for the groom’s side as well.

Can’t wait for Hubby to come home from work. After more than a week of constantly having him at home, I miss him terribly today..huhu!

Since Hubby’s leave is coming to an end, so does mine..huhu! I’m back to the reality of house chores and all. I’ve been neglecting the piles of dirty clothes and today I decided it’s about time to do the laundry.

I won’t be cooking till May so it’s great that we tapau some lauk pauk from Kg Baru when we went for late dinner plus supper after watching Grey’s Anatomy. I already masak nasik and will reheat those tapau lauk later – all kind of ulam, budu plus sambal tempoyak, pari bakar, tempe goreng sambal, bilis with petai, masak lemak rebung (this bamboo shoot dish gives us back pain and sakit badan..some people say rebung bisa..but still so sedap..huhu!)

Oh, check out this massive red head..nice of it to bloom a day before my birthday. Now I can say, even my garden celebrates my birthday this year..haha!

We went to Alamanda hoping to have birthday lunch at Sri Ayutthaya but I was not sure whether the branch there was closed permanently or it just happened to be closed on my birthday..huhu..So after a quick lunch at the food court, we went to IKEA. Actually there was something unexpected pouring in Alamanda that day but since Hubby already mentioned it in his blog, I rather not repeat the whole story.

On Saturday evening I browse the Internet and found the other branch of Sri Ayutthaya in Subang Jaya. I called them and they said the closing hour is at 11:30pm. So we went to the restaurant and had a wonderful Thai dinner. I even asked the waiter to tapau 4 dishes because we ordered so much and couldn’t finish it all..heh! Good thing that I decided to take away the food since we were starving after the shopping spree on Sunday so Hubby simply masak nasik and we ate the leftover.

Next time I will order their green curry again..heh! The vegetable tom yam was good too. However they don’t have som tam as they only have kerabu mangga.

I will update all the food pictures in my food and cooking blog later when I have time, OK! In the meantime, I need to get ready for my craft class in One Utama. Malasnya nak bergerak..huhu!
