Lunch At New World Park

My hubby and I often had our lunch breaks together because our offices are not too far from each other.

So yesterday, we had our lunch at Mizi Bistro (my treat :P) located at the New World Park or as chinese call it So Tao Lin (did I get it right?). New World Park is a food court where different types of stalls and restaurant located under one roof.

Besides the foodcourt, there also Old Town, Starbucks, BBQ Chicken, Guardian and more.

The entrance from the car carpark. I assume this is the back side of the park. If you're coming from here, you will see the food court. There are a lot of variety to choose from.

The food court.
I love this fruit stall. You can find almost every type of fruits here. They also selling ais kacang, rojak and fresh fruit drinks! Nyummm!!

So this is the Mizi Restaurant. It's the 1st shop you will see if you're coming from the food court.


The 8 pages menu will definetly blew you away. It took me some time to decide what to eat because they are all good. Usually I will take the lunch set menu where you can choose the drinks, soups, main dish and ice cream for only RM21 per set.

The decorations inside the restaurant. Pretty unique and they have all this antique items.

I ordered the mushroom soup. This soup is really special because it's not like any other mushroom soup I've tried before. They are more like Campbell soup straight from the can. But this soup (from what I taste lah), they mix in grinded mushroom and it is thicker.

My hubby ordered.. err.. I forgot what's its name. It's a combination of chicken, steak and lamb chop. Wow. See the size of the plate? Huge!

I had the California Fish & Chips. Ada lebih kurang 5 pieces of fish per plate. I couldn't finish them all coz too full.

And finally, the dessert. It's a free flow ice cream where you have to make it yourself. Meaning you can put as much as you like! Did I say free flow? Owh yeahhh..! It's eat all you want! But I just had 2 scoops je coz dah kenyang sangat-sangat. Burp!

Daily Supplement

Since I am breastfeeding, I need all the vitamins and supplement for my body so my baby could get them too. The most important supplement for a breastfeeding mother is Calcium. Breastfeeding baby will get their calcium for the bones development from their mother and if the mother is lacking the vitamin, most probably the mother will suffer from Osteoporosis in later life.

Breastfeeding also affects a mother's bones. Studies have shown that women often lose 3 to 5 percent of their bone mass during breastfeeding, although they recover it rapidly after weaning. This bone loss may be caused by the growing baby's increased need for calcium, which is drawn from the mother's bones.

The amount of calcium the mother needs depends on the amount of breast milk produced and how long breastfeeding continues. Women also may lose bone mass during breastfeeding because they're producing less estrogen, which is the hormone that protects bones. The good news is that, like bone lost during pregnancy, bone lost during breastfeeding is usually recovered within 6 months after breastfeeding ends. [quoted from NIAMS]


These are all the supplement I am currently taking. Why I chose Blackmores? I have no idea. I think the content are just the same. Maybe I like the labellings kot :P

I read in the internet that taking Multivitamins and Vitamin C could increase the milk supply, but I'm not sure how true so kena cuba la kan?

This flats are made for walking

Okay, call me mengada, but I loooveeeeeee my shoe yang iniii!!!

Remember this entry? This shoe got lost at the mall because of me being sooo careless. but i can't help it because of it's comfiness ( is that a word?), and I went to Croc's again to buy the same shoe and it's totally worth it! Siap lompat-lompat because sangat selesa. This is the problem with the big feet. Susah nak cari kasut. Once I found the most comfortable one, sangat happy!!!

FYI, I love Crocs! Some of you may say Crocs tak cantik or design ntah hape hape, but to me, without Crocs, I'd still be wearing sandals or selipar Jepun. Even my whole family is a Crocs fan. Including my mom and dad. Up to date, I have 3 pairs of Crocs and they never let me down.

I always looking forward for their new design in store. I love Hanalei too but they only had size 9 as their biggest but I think it's s smaller cut and unfortunately I can't fit in them. If they do have bigger size, I would love to get in this color.

Couch Hunting

My hubby and I spend most of our time in the living room. From watching TV, blogging, eating and sleeping. Hariz is no exception. So we need the most comfortable sofa for our new living.

Currently, we are still renting whilst waiting for our home to be ready and the only furniture we owned in this house is the bedroom set. Meaning to move to the new home, we need to get everything new including the living room set.

pic googled

We went couch hunting today in Alor Setar. We went to 4 shops to find the perfect sofa. At the 1st shop, we found 2 that is quite ok to our likings.

Wan likes this set because of the recliner.

but I chose this. Much simpler and nicer.
We were not allowed to take photos at the 2nd and 3rd shop which is Lorenzo and Gucca.
Finally, we found the sofa that both me and Wan agree on.

Recliner and I love the design. and they could custom made the colour according to our preference.

Hariz's Play Gym

I wonder why they call it playgym. ..

.....now I know. It's exhausting.. LOL

Our 1st Anniversary

This may seem already outdated but I'm gonna blog about it anyway :P

Last August 15th was our 1st anniversary. Since I was too heavy and too big to go outside Penang (I was 8 months pregnant at the moment), we decided to celebrate it in the island. And since we haven't had our babymoon, we decided to do it together, celebrating our anniversary and babymooning (is there such a word?)

So we picked The Northam All Suite, Penang for our babymoon. The reason we chose the hotel is mainly for its ginomous jacuzzi! I don't think there are any hotel in Penang that had that size of jacuzzi and the roomrates is so much cheaper than you think.

Luckily August 15th falls on Saturday so we don't have to take extra cuti for the day. We take off from our house, which is in same region, early morning to the hotel. but before checking in, we had our lunch at the Restoran Kapitan. I had the delicious Nasi Briyani and Wan had the famous Ayam Tandoori.

Then after stuffed ourselves with the food, we went straight to the hotel to check in. However, we had to wait for awhile since the room I booked was not facing the sea. I don't mind waiting as long as we had a great view to look at instead of the cityview.

That night, we gonna celebrate our 1st anniversary at the 32 @ The Mansion. The food was okay la but it's the environment to die for! It is very romantic with a live band. I specifically told them when I made the reservation that I want the best spot in the restaurant since we are celebrating our 1st anniversary. Well, they put us next to the band.

They call it 32 @ The Mansion I think it's because the restaurant's address is number 32, Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah, and the restaurant is actually a mansion.

The food were in small portions. So we ordered the 3 course meal. Okla.. kenyang la jugak. :P

While we were having our dinner, suddenly the band announce that they are dedicating the next song to us as we are celebrating our anniversary. haha. terkejut jugak la and a bit malu-malu coz everyone tepuk-tepuk tangan and looking at us :P

Then after makan, we headed outside the restaurant to take photos. We hired a photographer for that evening. Saje je sebagai kenangan untuk anak cucu :)

I had a blast that night. We he straight back to the hotel later and terus tido. Our next 2nd Anniversary will celebrating with Hariz :)

A Wedding at Setia Pearl Island

Yesterday, we attend a wedding of a friend of mine who is also my ex-schoolmate and my ex-colleague. The wedding was held at the SP Setia Ballroom. We got there quite early and the bride and groom were just arrived. We can't stay long because we are taking Hariz to paed because of his flu. Here are some photos I managed to capture.

Thursday Outing

My hubby and I decided to take a day off yesterday and went for a movie and makan-makan. It's been awhile since the last time we do this. I think the last time was when I was 9 months pregnant. We left Hariz at the nursery for awhile. We watched Avatar at the Queensbay Mall on the earliest show which is 1145am because we thought there won't be too many people at the movie on that hour. but boy I was wrong. The movie was full house and it's not even holiday! Luckily I purchased the ticket earlier at the e-payment. Kalau tidak kami tengok poster je la :P The movie was awesome! Few times I was like 'wow' , 'nice' and 'wow'. I won't tell you how good it was. Don't want to burst the bubble :P all I can say, it's a movie worth watching for 2 hours and 30 mins. Sampai lenguh la pinggang.

My stomach kept growling towards the end of the movie. Tersangat-sangat lah lapar. We were heading to Nandos when we saw the TGI Friday's ads on the escalator. Terus we were like, 'jom!' It's been awhile too since the last time we had TGI's.

Muka seronok nak makan :P

We both chose the RM29.90 2 course meal. My hubby had boneless chicken wings as appetizer and the Adobo Chicken as the entree. As for me, I ordered Fried Mac & Cheese as appetizer and Chicken Penne Pasta as entree. I finished my big plate pasta in less than 20 minutes. Lapar punya pasal.

I was thinking of having the dessert minis after the meal, but I was too full. Nak jalan pon tak larat. Maybe i'll have one of the minis on my next visit. Now it's time for a stroll around te mall after a full stomach. We went to Toys R' Us. At 1st saje je nak tengok-tengok. And then we saw these 2 and terus beli for Hariz.

Lamaze's Space Symphony Motion Gym.

It's good to stimulate his brain with the toys. He seems happy cuma tak pandai nak grab je lagi.

and this for him to play when he is in the stroller or car. Hariz sukeeeee...

as for me, I bought myself Croc's McCall Winter size 9. Sangat comfyyy... But the bad news, we left it in the trolley at the mall and forgot to take it. Sangat sedeeehhhh... Tak sempat nak pakai.. huuuaaaaa!!!!!
Up to date, almost all of my shoes dah tak muat nak pakai after gave birth to Hariz. Have I gained that much? It means only one thing. Time to buy new shoes!! :P

Got Milk?

I've been trying to update my blog everyday but my hectic schedule kept me busy. As if! :P

Anyways, Hariz is 2 months and 9 days now. I can tell on the changes of his behavior as he gets older. He weigh 6kg and we have to buy him M size diapers instead if S. Oh how time flies.

I started working last Tuesday because Hariz wasn't so well for me to start working on Monday. He got flu and a bit of temperature. However, he is getting better now and hopefully he will get well very soon.

I am too now breastfeed Hariz exclusively. I pumped at the office 3 times a day. At 11am, 2pm and 5pm. I just used the office's meeting room to do the pumping as it will save on my time. Most of the time, I will get 3oz each pumping with the total 9oz at the end of the day. I say it's not much but enough for Hariz when I left him at the nursery. The EBM (Expressed Breastmilk ) were kept on the lower part of the fridge to maintain it's freshness for the next day. But if I pumped it on Friday, I have to keep them on the frozen section because lower fridge EBM last for 2 days only whereas at the frozen is upto 3 months.

(today's production)

I still not able to make stock of EBM because every milk pumped will be used the next day.

Usually we got home from work at 630pm and immedietly fetch Hariz at the nursery which is just next door. Today, he was asleep when I picked him up and still asleep when I'm writing this blog at 1015pm. Tak sempat pun nak main-main dengan dia today. Rindu sangat. I guess I have to wait till he wakes up which is tomorrow. huhuhu...
