a regularising miracle

It's been almost 1 and a half years since the doctor's visit. Stubbornly (that's me!!) I never fully followed the doctor's orders which was to take the birth control pills. Nothing against it, I'm all for it..IF you're trying to avoid pregnancy. But in my case the birth control pills are just to so-called "regularise" the cycle. Which is fake because the minute you get off the pills, your body is back to normal again.

So how? I need to ensure that my body and cycle is OK so that I will be able to have children as normally as I possibly can. This means massive changes to my life - diet, exercise, sleep, everything! Well it really ought to have been implemented after the doctor's visit but hey.....

So anyway. Now's the T I M E. because I'm getting married y'all!! So i got to be thin for the dress and ready for the babies (my husband is much older hence the need to have babies immediately)

Readers, I am pleased to let you know that since December 4 2010, the date that Sham's mother proposed to my parents on his behalf, I have had three cycles of my period:-
1st cycle - 4 December 2010 - 11 December 2010
2nd cycle - 6 February 2011 - 18 February 2010
3rd cycle - 29 March 2011 - current Out of the blue, the cycle is regularising!

I mean its not the ideal 28 day cycle yet as you can see from about, but hey, almost there. I am ecstatic that it is naturally regularising and insha-allah I hope it will continue to be like this forever and ever. Am more psyched than ever to beat PCOS for once and for all now. I may actually have a shot at having a child naturally. I cannot think of anything that Shamshul and I would be more grateful for once we are married. Alhamdulillah and praise to Allah for my health and luck. cheerio guys! wedding updates next!

Rules of Engagement

Don't go into it by surprise.

Venue sorted. Menu sorted. Guestlist sorted. Invites, thank you notes, place cards sorted. Hair & make up?- sendiri je.

Hantaran? I don't know. Merisik Gallery? Weddings by Sher? Shajaratul Design? I want Flora etc for my wedding hantaran. Tunang simple je la kot. I need ideas on a MANLY hantaran gubahan. Can't imagine my fiancee ooh-aahing over fresh pastel coloured flowers.

Most importantly....what am I going to wear? (I bet y'all thought it was the ring! - in Malay culture, the major rock is the wedding ring, we dont really wear wedding bands. So for the tunang, it'll just be your basic RM1k ring).

How la how??

Already Gone

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die...
I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now I can't stop...
I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road, someone's gotta go
And I want you to know, you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
It started with the perfect kiss then
we could feel the poison set in
"Perfect" couldn't keep this love alive

You know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go
I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone.

Diet Diary - 18 August 2009

Breakfast
Slice of Breakthru toast topped with tuna in very little low-fat low-calorie mayonnairse, onions, chillies.
Cup of black coffee without sugar or milk

La Fin de Carbohydrates?

C'est impossible.

I cannot give up my carbohydrates. Someone told me that their aunt hadn't eaten rice since she was in her 20s. She's in her 50s now. Either she's been hypnotised or she's cheating. Sneaking in a bowl of rice in the middle of the night and working out to no end to burn off the empty calories.

Rice. Glorious, calorific rice. I love the word calorific. It just sounds eatable. Eatable?

How am I supposed to diet when all I can think off is super duper wok-hei infused char kuay teow?
