week 25- relaxing, rejuvenating and a new step in life

what a long title for this entry..so far i think this was the week that so many good and exciting things happened to me and to us...

let's start off with getting a new look..i've not been mending my tresses for about 1 year plus now..the last time i had a good haircut and hair and scalp treatment was last year that was before our vacation in australia...so, it's time to make a transformation now...i badly need a haircut (a new style perhaps) and made my way to a new muslimah salon in bangi, Jazeerat El Rahah....the name sounds very grand and the services offered was tip top...i had a good hair wash and head massage and opted for a bob style haircut...my friend, dahlia had a hair wash as well and jihan had a haircut too...imtiaz was thrill to look at mama's hair and kept on pulling my short hair as it was quite manageable now...

then it was school holiday, so off we went to avillion port dickson for a short break of 3d2n stay...we stayed on the water chalet near the swimming pool, and the kids had fun playing football on the sandy beach...they had wonderful time splashing in the kids pool and touching the animals in the pet farm and playing on the playground...

while we were on holiday, my dear hubby received a good news that he passed his final exam and officially now obtained his Masters in Pathology (Medical Microbiology), so he is now already a specialist..congratulations, dear...and as a reward for me (not for him), i was given an hour of me-time to spend at the avi spa and had a facial done...it was so relaxing and i felt very good after the facial and shoulder and upper back massage..

on the way back home, we had an unplanned rendezvous with my dear BFF, dilla as she happened to be in pd as well..so we met up for lunch at cowboy nasi kukus, exchanging stories of pregnant mommies (she's also about 22 weeks pregnant), and she also requested for me to bake carrot cake and tiramisu for her...

we had a mini celebration dinner for hubby's achievement at bumbu desa alamanda..so more good, yummy food...and me and hubby had a late lunch at my dahlia's house and had good home cooked food too...

dear baby was having a wonderful time indulging into all sorts of food...and next week i will be on leave taking care of the kids as wan and atok are having a short vacation in vietnam...and the house is currently in a disaster state as it's undergoing quite a major renovation...

i had my 5th antenatal check up..my weight was 57.7kg..everything was normal except i had slight protein in my urine...i also bought calcium supplement (obical) and dietary supplement (obimin plus) to top up whatever is deficient in my diet..we also had a quick detailed scan looking at the heart, lips, palate and such to look for any abnormalities, alhamdulillah there was non and little baby was in good condition...

and i made few containers of tiramisu as well as ordered by my BFF...the kids were excited to have some bites of the tiramisu as i have not been making it for quite some time now...
