Of Tanamera and Ayam Penyets

Last weekend, I went to Sunway Pyramid to buy the Tanamera Cold Compressed Virgin Coconut Oil VCO. I've been wanting to buy VCO for quite sometime now because I read that it can ease labour by applying it to the perineum area and if consumed the baby macam senang je nak keluar..like slide through je macamtu..swoosh. Haha. I didn't know what brand of VCO to buy so I asked Mr Google la. Stumbled across Tanamera's VCO and read that it has excellent reviews and is suitable for pregnancy. Bought only the Tanamera VCO at Parkson Sunway Pyramid for RM34 since they sell it retail in only a few places. 

So after I bought it konon-kononnye nak buat la perineal massage tu kan to prevent episiotomy and for smoother delivery. I've even started drinking it a teaspoon a day. But until now, I don't know if I'm doing the massage like I'm supposed to. Huhu. Harap-harap betullah. I thought macam kene sapu-sapu je but then baca macam kena masuk-masuk. Tak taula betul ke tak..hopefully it'll help. Eventhough this is my second pregnancy, the fear of going into labour is still there. Yelaa, I've never experienced it before kan. Takotlaa. Siapa yang tak takot. Huhu. Hopefully I can deliver normally..dulu kena caesar macam terkenan je nak deliver normally. But then when I'm having mild contractions and teringat rase saket contractions tu macam mane..rase best pulak caesar. Haha. Anyway, hopefully Allah ease my journey in delivering my baby. Amin~

Thought of getting the Post Natal Tanamera Set but I don't know if I will berpantang sangat. My mom and MIL are not that strict on berpantang ni so I pn takdela reti sangat nak berpantang ni. Huhu. Dulu pon pantang as in jaga makan and pakai socks je kot. Urut-urut tu adela about 3 times kot after like about 2-3 weeks after I delivered because I caesar. The berurut lady ade buatkan air kunyit campur dengan a bit of rempah ratus for me to drink but I drank like only a bit je..tak dapat pn habiskan the whole bottle. Huhu. We'll see first la..if I have a normal delivery and feel like berpantang and go the extra mile I can always get the Post Natal set online. It costs RM360 by the way and contains 11 items.

Anyway, the benefits of the Tanamera Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil - VCO :

For Prenatal Use:

• To moisturise and prevent stretch marks, apply on damp skin.
• To minimise tearing and need for episiotomy, massage VCO on perineum area and consume 1 teaspoon daily, 3-4 weeks before baby's due date.

For Contraction and Labour Use:

• To minimise perineal tearing and for smoother delivery, at the onset of labour pains, consume a few teaspoons at regular intervals and apply generously at perineum area.

For Postnatal Use:

• To fade stretchmarks and moisturise breasts to soothe and prevent cracked nipples, apply on damp skin.
• To help lose excess weight, consume 2 tablespoons daily.
• As a baby massage oil.

Owh..by the way..Sunway Pyramid dah best la. It's been ages since I went there. They have soo many kiddie rides yang dekat center court tu. Aqil had a blast!! Owh..and we also tried out the Ayam Penyet Express as recommended by Dina my SIL. She claimed it the best ayam penyet around. Hubby liked it and agreed it to be the best. It was delicious but I still prefer Ayam Penyet Ajo Lali in Kota Damansara. Hehe :p

Aqil turns 2

Aqil turned 2 this month. Big boy dah anak mama. Hope he grows up to be a good Muslim, son, husband (eeeekk..baru 2 years old dah nak fikir Aqil nak kawen dah ke? Huhu. He grows up soooo fast!). 

Anyway..Happy Birthday Aqil~ :)

To a special someone who's turning TWO
Great big hugs and wishes just for you
You're the apple of my eye
Happy Birthday awesome little guy!!

Didn't get a whole birthday cake for him, but only a slice. If beli whole cake always tak habis. Anyway, Aqil loves blowing out the candles and people singing happy birthday (tak kesahla to him ke or to anyone else), but what he really loves is cutting into the cake first, either be it with a fork or just a spoon. Konon besar la tu pandai potong cake sendiri :p Anyway, he has quite a sweet tooth for cakes la..not that good. He really enjoys it when celebrating birthdays at his nursery I guess. I think thats where he gets his fondness for cakes kot. Tak pon memang every kids loves cakes? Hurmmm.

Anyway, for his birthday haritu he got a bike and a car. A Ben10 bike from TokMa and TokBa which he has yet to learn to ride on, now he can only pedal halfway..nak full circle not yet. He also got a car..a yellow Mini Cooper mind you from MakLong. He loves playing on it. Takdela pandai control sangat the car tu..die pakai tekan-tekan the remote and then the car will pusing-pusing gerak sane sini depan-belakang kiri-kanan die dah excited. Haha. I have to take a pic of him playing. So cute with his tiny hands and the tiny car, just right for his size :p

We also went for a birthday trip to Kuching. I booked the flight tickets like a year ago kot. It costs RM0.10 je. Murah kan? Overall, RM45 plus tax for 3 person for a return trip by AirAsia. Haha. Saje je nak bawak Aqil jalan2 naik plane. Naik AirAsia you can get to see the plane up close and personal. I thought he would love it and indeed he did. Mama 'belanja'ed the hotel stay sempena Aqil's and my birthday. Why Kuching? Well, hubby wanted to cukupkan his visits to all the states in Malaysia. Kuching is his last stop and complete dah all the states. I have a state left yet to visit. Kelantan. Kesian kan dah 27years tak pernah nak menjejakkan kaki kat sane? Huhu.

Me: Aqil suke naik plane??
Aqil: SUKE!! Nak lagiii~

I was in my 32weeks of pregnancy back then, at first ingat tak nak pegi because I'm too far along. The regulations allows pregnant woman to board up until 35weeks but since I haven't made any plans to celebrate Aqil's birthday at that time and die macam sangat fascinated with airplanes, I decided just to go. Alhamdulillah nothing happened while in Kuching or onboard the plane. Takut jugak if the pressure made me terberanak awal or ape. Hehe. But the week back tu I was feeling uneasy and macam tak larat nak jalan. Tula..nak sangat pegi kan. Huhu. Don't know la because of the pressure thingy ke or banyak berjalan kt Kuching tu yang buat I feel like that. Haisyhhh. Takpe..next time I know better :p

Anyway, we stayed at The Pullman Hotel Kuching. Best!! Great service..room got upgraded summore. I took the deal where you have to write a review on travelling in Malaysia and then can get complimentary breakfast and free in-room internet. Apela sangat writing a simple review for free breakfast and internet kan? Hehe. Regardless it was a business hotel, it was very child friendly. Pricewise pon okay. Definitely recommended for anyone going to Kuching. 

Pictures credited to their website. Since being a mom ni, I don't get to take pictures as much as I would love to. Brought the camera along but last-last guna camera iphone jugak. Huhu. Busy sangat tending to Aqil ke hah? Have since then let go of the camera. Haihh.

Anyways..Happy Birthday Aqil~

Mama loves you!!
