i know of lots of couple who wish they stay on their own and can’t wait for their flats to be ready and i also know of some couple who actually do love staying with their parents after marriage. To each their own honestly and because we stayed on our own right after our wedding, here’s why i think it’s awesome staying on our own.

pending & pening
been wanting to do these for the longest time but malas.
- Clear my makeup area. I have way too much cosmetics and i only use half of them. Time to throw throw throw!
- Clean up my office and do some re-arranging. It currently does not look like an office but a storeroom.
- throw old clothes and spring clean the wardrobe before it falls apart.
Tak sampai 2 tahun kahwin, tu wardrobe macam dah nak give way.
Let’s see if i can even get one of these done this week!
do me a favor!
Akan Datang at The Card Maison.
These favor boxes sample will be available at my Booth at the Wedding Expo! Prices and design will be out pretty soon.
of charting & temping
Another thing i have been doing lately is taking my Basal Body Temperature (BBT) and charting it on Fertility Friend.
Now this requires dedication because the rules of charting your BBT are:
- it has to be done every single day at the same timing. so if you recorded your 1st temp at 6.30am, the subsequent one has to be at the same timing. Senang cakap, hari2 kena bangun at 6.30am to temp, even on weekends.
- Prior to temping, when u wake up, u are not supposed to move too much or talk
or breathe. So it would be good if you place your Basal Thermometer just next to your bed so that when the alarm goes off, you can pick it up with minimal movement. Because movements etc affects your temperature and it may not be accurate. - You can only use Basal Thermometer for this. Normal digital Thermometer is not acceptable. The only difference is the decimal point aje. Basal Thermometer has 2 decimal point so it is more accurate.
- You must have at least 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
going traditional
you remember i mentioned going back to the TCM doctor this month to resume my medications with her?
i went last monday to see Dr Su again and i actually love seeing Dr Su. She’s from China so her english is a bit off but i don’t care as long as i understand what she’s taking about and unlike my gynae, she takes her time explaining fertility problems to me and all. I find her very comforting actually.
I told her my menses is still a no-show (today, it is still a no-show and it is CD54 already! Just in case you don’t know, CD stands for Cycle Day and usually, women gets their menses between CD28 – CD32 gitu? So, i’m really really off this month. Like hello Aunt Flo, are u sleeping?
Dr Su will usually listen to my pulse and i don’t know why but i love it when she does that! haha.
The First!
Ok quick update cos i need to run and get envelopes, collect cards and do some print-jobs.
Honestly, i thought that now that i am working from home, i thought i would have more time to myself. Tapi macam sama aja..
I have been running around for appointments and errands and making sure i come back by 5.00pm to cook dinner for the hubby because i’m one of the nicest wife on earth.
Honestly, i have a lot to update on the blog. The last day at work, the TTC journey thus far some other random stuff but because this is supposed to be a quick post, i shall leave you with this 1st!

Ok i know how some of you BTB really wish you guys can get away with spending $$ for your Bunga Pahar / Sireh Dara cos you don’t see why there is a need to have one but unfortunately, our mother and makcik2 seems to think otherwise.
So, i need to do some sort of a short survey and i realllly hope u guys can help me with because ni antara hidup dengan mati.
2 short polls!
waking up to the sea breeze
Back with Krabi Day 3!
One of my travelling habits, if i’m staying in a country for more than 3 days, i like to switch hotels. Just because i get bored with a place (which is not home very easily). In fact, i get bored of everything quite easily actually. Including people. Excluding my loved ones. hahaha. ok i’m so mean.
Anywaaay, we moved on to the quieter part of Krabi. The Klong Muang area. Practical if i say, where all the atas2 resorts like Sheratons are because the place spells serenity! It is very very ulu, about 40mins away from Ao Nang and Krabi Town.
But that is just perfect!
I got to know about this resort through Elzii when she posted it on her Instagram during her recent Krabi trip and i Instantly fell in love with the place.
But what’s not to love?

u are what you eat
Continuing from the previous post, i have never thought what i eat and don’t eat, what i do and don’t do could affect my womb.
I have been seeing a Traditional Chinese Doctor (Sinseh) ever since my colleague got pregnant from eating her meds. Her meds was able to make me ovulate earlier but, because i tak biasa makan ni herba2 entah apa tah.. i had a hard time drinking it. Macam nak muntah ok! Cos rasa dia pahit gila lah.
The sinseh checked my pulse and mentioned that i have a cold womb which is not conducive for conceiving. Which is kinda true cos between me and my husband, i get cold really easily. But then again, laki aku jenis polar bear. Duduk bawah aircon pun dia tak rasa apa. So the sinseh told me what to refrain from eating/drinking:
