Trying To Conceive

If you go through my posts tagged “Trying To Conceive”, you’ll see most of it are locked up with a password now.

With the recent viral post, i got really uncomfortable with posting too detailed details. But i know a few percentage of my readers are trying to conceive as well in fact some of you started seeing a gynae for fertility check after reading my posts to see if anything is wrong as well and while i don’t think people should be judgemental on people who are trying very hard to conceive, i just can’t help but feel maybe i should let the viral post die down a bit before i start posting freely about TTC.

Meanwhile, if you still wanna read my post on TTC, you can email me at bride.blogette@gmail.com for the password. That’s all you have you to do and i’ll give you the password. It would be even awesome if you have a blog and include your blog link! I would love to read about others TTC journey!

When everything dies down a bit and this blog is not getting so much attention, i’ll blog more openly on my TTC journey.

13,000 new visitor and 19,000 page views over 3 days is a bit too much attention for me. Lol
how the hell did it get all viral i have no idea! Hahahaha

Musings of a Bride, The Husband & Wife

going viral

Dyan

Yesterday i got a notification from WordPress saying my site stats are higher than usual and i was wondering why.

Then yesterday morning, my sister sent me a screenshot of one of my post shared on FB and apparently it is somehow going viral without me realising because i don’t see it on my own FB Newsfeed!
Nampak sangat most of the people in my friendlist dah tua, dah kahwin, and dah tak kisah pasal wedding. Hahaha

The post responsible is: How I Managed The Wedding Budget 

Hello new readers!
Just a point to note, my wedding was in 2011 and that post was written in 2012. So prices may have increased.
So please don’t quote my price when u ask the vendors ok? Cos it would be unfair to them. Heh.

But above all, i hope you take that post with a pinch of salt. What may work for me may not work for you.
I’m never against anyone who throw a big fat wedding in fact i love weddings and i feel if you can afford it, go spend your hard-earned moolah on your Big Day. But i’m against taking loans (bank / personal) for weddings. I feel that it’s irresponsible and that’s what i feel and you don’t have to agree with me. 🙂

The Husband & Wife

who run the world?

I think the husband is gonna kill me when he sees this tomorrow.

When u’re married, you’ll learn new things about your partner and one of those things i’ve learned, my husband rarely get sick, when he does fall sick, u feel like the world is tearing apart. Like everything else does not matter except that he’s running a flu and it’s almost like an epidemic. He’ll sleep for hours and hours, get all cranky and show you that sick face and make you wonder if Flu is really that bad.

On the other hand, i fall sick so bloody often, a flu is chicken mcnugget. I hate to take Panadol or any medications so i’ll just let it go away by itself. You would think for someone who refuse to self-medicate, i would have a better immune system eh?

So yes, i’m just waiting for this flu, cold and blocked nose to go away by itself while i go drink Ribena at the living room. After all, Ribena is chockful of Vitamin C and Vitamin C is good for the immune system, yes?

Makan Chronicles, The Husband & Wife

sweet treats

Dyan

a week after the surgery, after lying down 75% of the time at home, drowsy from all medications, i said to the husband, “Sod it. We are going out for a date tonight. I don’t want to drink any more soup / Jeli gamat / Chicken Essence. I want Cakes! I want Pavlova. I want Big fat juicy burgers”

That brought us to Butterscotch Cafe! A newly opened muslim-owned Cafe at Bt Merah Central.

Location-wise, Bukit merah is a place i go to once every 3 years? Or 5 years. Not kidding cos i don’t know anyone who stays that area. But now Butterscotch is there, maybe i can do a twice a year trip to Bukit Merah.
If you’re going there after 7.00pm, good luck on trying to find a parking spot. Srap that, actually you can find a parking spot. plenty of it but after 7.30pm, the ENTIRE carpark is reserved for seasoned parking and that my friend, is how we got a $50.00 parking ticket (which i honestly can’t be bothered to appeal for).

Now if you are expecting this to be a huge cafe that u can easily find seats for a group of 12, then maybe you’ll be dissapointed cos it’s a cosy cafe with probably about 18 – 20 pax indoor seating. Most of it being couple seats, which i think can be easily transformed to a group seat.

We ordered two mains, which is a mistake i made time and again because i can never finish my mains. Should have just shared it with the husband.

Ramly meets Wendy. A westernised version of the Ramly burger. Quite yummy but portion too big for me. I finished 3/4 of it though.

setting the bar high

at least that’s what he’s doing. Honestly, 1st half of the proposal was a little bit too cheesy for me lah.
But that’s just me. Others might find it cute but it was a little cringe-worthy.

But the last half made me cry cos whatever he said, it was obviously straight from his heart. so raw, so emotional.

ah….. such a nice feeling to be in love!

Before she turns forty!

So the Sister-in-Law celebrated her 39th last weekend and arranged for a few of her close friends to join her in a baking workshop by her fellow ex-colleague. The entire group was made up of urmmm teachers cos my SIL is one.
So yes, apart from me & Dila, my other SIL, the rest are teachers and ke-teacher-an mereka sangat terserlah. LOL
I think it might just be me but most of the time i can tell if that person is a teacher! Teachers seems to have this aura among them and that is not a bad thing lah ok. I think teachers are awesome.

Ok i meant to tell you about the Tea Party cum Workshop she had.
Her ex-colleague Hawa, is a baking genius! The stuff she bakes is like an orgasm in the mouth, pardon the description but honestly, after keeping the cupcakes in the fridge for 3 days, it’s still nice & moist.

Her, Trying To Conceive

Ready, set go!

Dyan

I cleared the office today. Now it’s spick & span. 
Cleared half of the laundry, folded & hanged some of them. I honestly need to spring-clean my wardrobe.
I have too many clothes. My spring-clean mantra, if i have not used it for 6 months then i don’t need it! 

I’m gonna continue spring-cleaning this entire week. Friday is the surgery date and i’m just scared if i don’t clean up the house now, it’ll be a jungle next week. 
And i hope my menses don’t come before Friday cos if it does, we’ll have to reschedule my surgery and my schedule is so packed this November i don’t think i want to reschedule. 

Oh, the entire last week, i went on an online shopping frenzy. Most sites were having Sale and i know i was complaining i have too many clothes but i can’t help it!

keeping it tidy.

Dyan

just two years of being married and living in the house, my wardrobe is falling apart.
i bought the bedroom set. You know the generic one where it comes with 1 bed, 1 wardrobe and 1 dressing table tu?

The wardrobe is falling apart already. and i really don’t think it’s because i have too many clothes. Oklah maybe part of it lah. But then again, back at my parents place, i have tons of clothes as well but that wardrobe was able to withstand my entire load for 12 years! It’s a built-in wardrobe though so maybe the quality is so much better.

and the one i bought could be untreated wood or chemically-treated wood cos moulds are always growing and i had to keep wiping them every single week lah seh.

So, i’m on a lookout for good wardrobe company. I wanted Besglas initially but my friend who had theirs installed by Besglas said the quality is so-so.

Special Events

eh dah kahwin!

Dyan

As we all know, Farhana of Kahwin Khronicles got married last weekend.
When she whatsapp-ed me to ask if i can make it for the wedding, i realised i actually have that Wedding Showcase from 12 – 8pm. uest were expected to arrive at  7.30pm and the bride & groom were expected to march in at 8.00pm. Even though Farhana mentioned it’s a casual affair and i can come in later, i thought it would be nice to sit through the entire thing from the start. So i cabut from the wedding showcase earlier.

We managed to arrive by 7.45pm, gi washroom, amik photobooth picture and all before the Bride & Groom come marching in.

and can i also mention that by 7.45pm, most my makeup was gone, rambut dah macam tiga hari tak cuci.
Having a wedding showcase at a Multi-Purpose Hall is NOT a good idea, i tell you. I was sweating buckets most of the time.
