From the title, I think some would have already guessed on what I'm about to share next.

Yeap yeap! Pregnancy!

The 9-months journey every women dream of. Except for the few that is afraid of it. I was initially in that FEW! Haha! The thought of me having a GIGANTIC belly to carry for about 9 months or so (silly-thinking that the tummy will already be huge at 1st month!). The nausea, vomiting, cravings, weight-gain & what nots always gets the best of me.

Also, thinking that I am still too young and that I've got a lot more to do before branching out my family tree. Ya'know? Like travelling, partying, late night hang-outs, etc, etc. Another reason was because I haven't even receive the keys to my own house yet.
But whatever reasons that I stated above, the main reason was still, I AM (or should I say "I WAS") AFRAID THAT THE VAGINA TEAR IS GONNA BE HORRIBLE! Read it right alright?!

The freaking thought of my vagina tearing like a piece of paper scares the shit outta me. The thought that a small human head will pop out of it was just, erghhh! SCARY la wei! So ZR & I made a deal that we should at least wait till we get our home before I reach that scary moment in my life (which was about 2 years from that moment). Just an excuse to u know... delay the time I will be in deep shit (pain)!

So after our wedding (somewhere in April 2012), ZR & I travelled to Bali with part of our #EnamJahanam gang and 2 others. Just so we don't get a "MADE IN BALI" surprise, we forced 1 of our gang member (bukan gangster ok, we good good kids) to share the room with us. There were 7 of us and we booked a villa with 3 bedrooms. So 1 bedroom was for "I.T" couple & another for "D.A" couple. The master room was ours since we were sharing with "LONE RANGER" (pam pam pam...) of the trip. HAHA! A 5D4N holiday. Believe it or not, ZR & I didn't make love in that beautiful room!
OK OK, not trying to post about my sex life virally OK! Just wanna convince y'all on how "not-in-a-rush-to-make-babies" mood we were in back then. (Sorry if its disturbing to some)
From that moment onwards, a lot started asking. "Dah ade?", "Bile nak dapat ZaiDiaN junior?" bla bla bla.. Most of the time we replied with;
"Belom lagi.. inshaa'allah bile dah dapat rumah nanti lah baru kita usahakan.. In 2 years time maybe.. Family planning ar.. Nak enjoy dulu.." 
Some of the response for our reply were OK. For instance;
"Oh ya lah.. Korang pon masih muda.. Still got time.." & some would say, "Tu lah.. dapatkan rumah dulu baru start up a family.."
BUT majority of the response were;
"Ahh kao plan lah plan.. Nanti tak dapat baru tau!!" or "Buat ape plan plan? Korang tolak rezki allah nak kasi?" or "Eh dosa tau buang luar untuk elakkan mengandung!" (which till now I'm not sure if its true) 
Response from my father & his best friend was;
"Biar anak pertama ditentukan Allah. Tak payah planning planning. Atleast bile dah dapat yang 1st, kite tau kite tak mandol baru leh start planning."
Then the response (from my dear cousin) that really disturbed me;
"Adek plan plan, what if when the time adek rase OK adek dah ready nak ade anak, adek cuba cuba but tak pregnant pregnant? If adek plan to get pregnant in 2 - 3 years time, means adek & Zaid will be about 25 years old. What if it takes u more than 5 years to get pregnant? Adek will be 30 years old by then & that is the age women tend to get complications with their pregnancy, then how? I've been married for 1 year plus & started trying as soon as we got married but till today, no signs of me being pregnant. Don't know how long more we must keep on trying to reach our 1st pregnancy. What if when adek dah ready, suddenly adek senasib ngan kakak? Not that lucky at the first few tries? Then how? Think about it."
By the end of her lecture, I was questioning myself;
"Aku mandol tak ehk? Laki aku nye side ade yang mandol tak?"
 ZR & I started thinking. What my cousin said were definitely right. But matters like this normally depends on our fate. If we are not meant to experience parenthood, then its just our luck. Maybe Allah has better plans. Although we thought that it all lies in the hands of Allah, we decided that we will not push it away. If it happens that we get pregnant anytime soon, then we'll accept it with open arms. If we don't, we'll just lead our life normally till the day we think we are running out of time. Then we will step it up & just pray to the almighty.

Not long after, June 30th, I found out that I was pregnant. Shockingly, I was delighted with the news more than I was scared. Despite the nonsensical thought on pregnancy that I had, I actually felt happy. Reason being (1 out of the many reasons),
"YES AH!! TAK MANDOL!!"
 Then my 9 months of being cared about & treated nicely started.... Shall share the journey of my pregnancy in the next post. Meanwhile, KEEP CALM & CONTINUE FOLLOWING!


*WONDERFUL NEWS* 
My beloved cousin who was my eye-opener on pregnancy is already out of labour ward. Its a GIRL! Alhamdulillah, Allah granted her & hubby with the best gift/reward for their patience & perseverance to conceive. Congratulations Shazwani & Farihan! Nur Sha-izsta Omera, welcome to the family sayang!


Look at that cute little face!!




Geram nih!! Nak ade baby lagi lah!!

OK so, what do u look forward to most while preparing for your wedding?
HORNYMOON right? Cause the peks n the neks gatals already right?! (Hahaha!)

Well, for me, I didn't get the feeling of preparing or planning for our honeymoon cause our wedding was too rushed to even think beyond wedding day. Monthly income was paid to wedding vendors & wedding expenses so couldn't save enough there. But we did make a note to ourselves, if the duit salaman from my majlis is gifted to us by my parents & grandmom, then we shall have a short honeymoon.

& so we did. Friday evening was our solemnization, Saturday was our wedding reception then Sunday the combined reception for both ZR & his brother (of course together with me & my SIL) over at his side. When our reception ended on Saturday, my parents & grandmom handed me the duit salaman & said its all mine but because grandmom did help me out a little with money, I gave her $2500 out of the total which I can't remember how much. Sunday night, after everything was over (our malam pertama as husband & wife), was spent outside grandmom's house (1st floor kan, so lepak corner right at our corridor) together with #DaengEnamJahanam. Thinking of where we (excluding #DaengEnamJahanam lah kan..) should go with nothing planned & very little money (cause I intend to save some of the money for future use). Eventually ZR came up with an idea. He have been eye-ing a resort in Batam that cost quite a bomb but since we had no other idea what we should do, ZR called the resort that very moment to make a booking. If I remembered correctly, it was already passed midnight. Thankfully, the resort accepted our last minute booking & so we packed up our stuff & waited for the right time to head down to Harbourfront Ferry Terminal for the 1st ferry to Batam. Upon reaching, I was kinda feeling like, "Oh! Ok! *gulp*". The exterior of the resort was kinda eerie. Eventhough we reached in bright daylight, I felt like I was going into a haunted place. (Exaggerated a lil!) Its just that the place looked quite old from the outside & down below. You actually have to climb up a couple of stairs before seeing the reception area. We were greated by an Ang Moh lady who was very nice & polite. I believe she was 1 of the owners of that resort. She then explained to us about the resort & then gave us a menu where we could choose our preferred style of body massage. Oh! Forgot to mention! ZR booked a room called "Treehouse" & we were entitled to 3 hours of spa. 3 HOURS ok?! Who wouldn't go crazy over it? I know we sure did. So I opted for the Aromatherapy Swedish Massage (1hour) + Body Scrub (1hour) + Facial Massage (1hour). It was close to HEAVEN ok! Best giler! The menu had alot of choices so we actually stood there for almost 30mins just thinking of what we should take. ZR got himself a different type of massage but also with body scrub (that he regretted having) & facial massage. I'll tell u why he regretted it at the end of this post. After making a very difficult decision (since we were spoilt for choices), the lady showed us to our room. I don't wanna say anything more. I'll just let the pictures speak for itself.

Ok ok! Maybe it doesn't look that amazing, but really. It is nice & relaxing. Again, I wanna emphasize that the 3 hours spa session were AMAZEBALLS! Wish I could go there again but I think kinda unsafe for me to bring along my not even a year old baby cause the place like I said, look kinda eerie. BUT don't worry, I didn't encounter any paranormal activity during my stay there. Oh by the way, we were there only for 2D1N cause a lil ex to be staying for a longer period. Hehe! Oh breakfast was included before we checked out & while waiting for our pick up, we played a game or two of pool. Yeah, honeymoon play pool. I know. Such lame couple right me & ZR!


There was suppose to be a photo of me too with my meal but don't know lah, cannot find. So that was it, our BATAM HORNYMOON! Click on Tempat Senang Spa & Resort Batam to know more about the resort & its rates. Did I mention they have several types of themed room like Bali Room, China Room, Sultan Room etc etc?

Go on, go on. Have a great getaway!

WAIT! Its not over yet. 2D1N? Where got enough to relax after a 10 months of work work work no enjoyment period! (Excluding the time we went to Phuket during our wedding preps period cause that time, we already saved money before our marriage date was even fixed!)

Right after Batam, we headed to Bintan, where we celebrated my 21st Birthday. 


This time we booked a 3D2N stay. Another place where I highly recommend you to go for a short getaway. Cheap, relaxing & also, GOOD FOOD! Seriously! Oh & again, its CHEAP! So why not? Might not be a classy place for honeymooning but what the hell. Ikut kemampuan masing-masing lah kan? & I'm not ashame to admit. Tu je yang kite mampu. Atleast at that time lah. So back to the story, from Tempat Senang Spa & Resort, we headed to Sekupang Ferry Terminal & took a ferry to Tanjong Pinang then from there, they arranged for someone to pick us up. There were some hiccups during the journey cause if I'm not wrong, another ferry terminal would actually make our journey shorter or something but for me, as long as we arrive safely, thats enough. Besides, its suppose to be a honeymoon so I didn't bother getting angry.

Upon reaching Bintan Agro Beach Resort, all I could think of is food, swim & spa. So here it is, the photos for our Bintan honeymoon.

*The shorter lady is Cindy. She served us at the reception during our 1st visit & also our honeymoon visit*





Now my favourite part! FOOD!!!!



 *I apologize for the quality of the images & also some shortage*
*Some of it is just too bad to be posted online*
*Malu nye saye*

We spent a relaxing time enjoying each other's presence. Indulged ourselves with great food. Be it in such a cheap place compared to Paris, Italy, Hong Kong, Australia & all other expensive destinations that other newly weds go to. Alhamdulillah, at least we got the chance to rest & relax. Thats the important part. Anyways, if you guys wish to have a short getaway from all the stress at work or home, if not honeymoon, you may want to consider this place. Click on Bintan Agro Beach Resort to find out the rooms & rates available. Just bear in mind that this is no classy, high standard type of places alright?

1 day away from the weekends! Might be a good time to book for this short getaway if you may?
Enjoy your weekends people! :)

OH WAIT WAIT! I haven't tell you guys why ZR regretted the body scrub. Because he has very very very hairy legs so it actually hurts when he got the scrub. Instead of feeling great, he was suffering in silence & I didn't even bother to know cause I was happily enjoying myself. HAHA!
