How Can I Not Be Grateful?

Day 18 in Hospital Serdang

Why am I warded? I'll share every detail in other posts (perhaps Day 1 or 2) later.

Despite being warded for 18 days today, I feel ever so grateful. Why? Being sicked is not good, worse is when it involves lives of others (and in my case, my baby's life). But then I am still grateful I have been receiving support and in some kind of way I feel loved by so many people: family and friends.

How Mama has never failed to come and visit me in the afternoon and evening with a lot of food stocks just to make sure I will never be starving... Thanks so much Mama :)

Bapak, who will try his best to come in the afternoon and evening or whenever he has time and as long as he's not out of town for work... Who will bring along biscuits and anything I can munch :D Thanks so much Bapak

My dearest husband... who despite being thousand miles away, will take a bus on the weekend just to see me... Bring me breakfast, lunch n dinner... Who provides unconditional support and love... Who always ready to get his shoulder wet with my tears... Who never failed to listen to whatever complaints and requests I have... Who provides hugs and kisses when there are no words that can make me feel better or comfortable... and the lists will continue until forever... Thanks so much Love ;)

To my family: my sister, my sisters in law, my brothers, granny, aunties, cousins... Thank you so much for all the food, attention and prayers from all of you...

To my lovely ladies, Yaya and Rad: Who try hard to make themselves available in the afternoon during lunch hour and weekends (and brought along pizza and chocolates) ... You ladies are the greatest friends anyone can ever asked for... Thanks so much...

To my friends who provide support through FB, phone calls and messages and other forms... Thanks so much.

Trust me, every prayer and wish do make me feel stronger and more focus to fight back...

I might not be able to thank everyone individually... I am sorry if I have missed anyone in this note...


Love,
Azim and Baby :)

Beautify Your Hair from Your Kitchen

I love to try out and make my own beauty products from whatever I can find in the kitchen because I believe it is safer, cheap most importantly, it is less or zero chemicals on my skin :) 

Here's one fine and in my opinion, very interesting tips to beautify your hair i retrieved from tanamera fb page. 

Natural Hair Care: Beautiful Results sans Chemicals 

Oh, we all want it – beautiful, shiny, lustrous hair. And it’s surprisingly simply to achieve. All you need are a few (three, at most) simple ingredients from your kitchen. Apply any of

 these natural deep-conditioning treatments once a week and you’ll spend less time styling your hair in the morning because hey, it looks good already!

A simple hair conditioner 

(1) Warm up some olive or coconut oil (but don’t let it boil) and massage a liberal amount onto your hair. 

Because your hair will absorb the oil much better if you keep your hair warm, wear a plastic shower cap or wrap your head with a towel soaked in warm water. Better still, apply the warm oil to your hair right before you step into the steam room at the gym or spa. The heat will open up your hair cuticles so it can absorb all the good stuff. Leave the oil on for at least 30 minutes before washing with your regular shampoo. No olive or coconut oil? Try massaging in some small chunks of butter (yes, butter) or applying some mayonnaise instead. Weird, but it works. 

If you’ve got a bit more time..

(2) Plain yogurt is also a great hair conditioner. 

You can purchase plain yogurt at a grocery store but they’re usually sold in large tubs so we prefer to just buy a small packet of tairu from our favourite nasi daun pisang shop for around RM1. 

(3) If you have oily hair, mix a cup of yogurt together with a few drops of lime juice and one egg white 

to make a deep-conditioning paste that won’t overweigh your hair. But you’ll need a bit more than that if your hair is dry – mix together a cup of yogurt, a tablespoon of olive oil and one egg yolk. Remember, some heat makes your hair absorb more of the yogurt’s moisturizing properties so wrap your head in a warm towel or wear a shower cap and leave the paste on overnight.

If you’re feeling gung-ho.....

Do it how our great-grandmothers used to. 

(4) Scoop out the seeds of a papaya 

and leave them out in the sun to dry. In a pan, fry the papaya seeds without any oil and at low heat until they’re crisp. Using a pestle and mortar or a food processor, crush the seeds until they’re fine and sift to remove any big pieces. Mix with some coconut oil and apply to your hair, leaving it overnight before washing it out the next day with your regular shampoo. This old wives’ recipe will not only make your hair looks gorgeously beautiful, it’ll also reduce dandruff and prevent split ends.

So ladies, save up your money and try out these tips this weekend and give me your feedback ok.

Have a great weekend darlings ;)
