4th Anniversary

Last thursday was our 4th anniversary. We get married on 5th November 2005. It has been a wonderful journey for me as a wife to a lovely husband.

For the first time, he bought me a bouquet of roses. Hehehe.. delivered to the house early in the morning when Nazhan and me still on bed. Later on the evening, i baked a chocolate cake with the help of my super hero, the food tester.



That's all actually. Very simple celebration. However, within 2 weeks we'll be flying to Gold Coast for a short holiday. I've been planning for this vacation since February, before being pregnant. So, since i'm pregnant at 8 months at that time we are in GC, is just gonna be a simple holiday. Not as adventure as it should be. Maybe the adventure comes in different way with Nazhan around and as we going to take public transpot for the whole vacation. Can't wait for that moment.

Belly Belt for Mommy

Biasalah bila perut dah boyot, seluar memang tak muat. Jadi ibu pun create this belly belt. With this, i can still wear all my pants, IAllah. However, this design only suitable with pant or skirt that already have belt holder and also thight and butt that still fit you. Just that, the waist not fit you anymore.


I use a t-shirt kind of fabric that i bought at bundle stall at pasar malam for rm1. Here's how i did it.

1. I cut one side of the shirt starting from the bottom to the height of my belly so that when i wear, it can cover from zip part to top of my belly.
2. The bottom part of the shirt will be the top part of the belly belt. Just sew 2 buttons at both end.
3.Then put an elastic through the existing hole.
4. Cut few small hole at both end of the elastic so that you can adjust the belt and wear it for longer time.


Tara, its done. You can wear it by button up the elastic to your pant or skirt belt holder.

Weekend @ Esplanade

Dah lama tak p Esplanade. Dah gerak keluar rumah, baru terfikir nak bawak Nazhan jalan2 pantai. Lagipun dah lama tak ada ambik gambar. Actually, macam tak ada langsung gambar ibu dengan perut yg kian memboyot ni.



So, kami pun terus p tapau nasi lemak for lunch dengan air sekali. Elok2 nak sampai aja, Nazhan dah tertidur. So ibu yg tak puas ati ni, terus aja dukung Nazhan menegak and terjaga la abang long tu dengan menangis tak puas ati. Sebaik aja nampak pantai, terus nak p pantai dan tak ingat nak tidur or makan dah.



Jadi, ibu and abah gilir2 teman Nazhan ke pantai dan jaga barang2 sambil makan. Bila dah dekat setengah jam main pasir, baru la dia terasa lapar. Habis makan, sambung balik aktiviti main pasir dan jalan2 melawat kawasan.

I managed to sew this dress last Saturday. Only less than a day for a beginner like me. I'm sure others can make it even prettier and less time than me. Hehe, exacly same as the bedsheet. Haha!! Just dun want to waste the fabric if i can't manage to do it well.

You can get the tutorial from here.

There is another thing i plan to sew before baby is born. It is a nursing pillow with C shape. Hope it is going to be great.
