Yummy mummy!

Why can't I look like these?

The gorgeous Natalie Portman

I asked hubby as we were watching channel E!

"Apalah perasaan ko, kalau saya lawa macam tu?" (at some beautiful celebrities)

"Jangan lah, susah mo jaga...susah hati ja kalu ko keluar lama-lama"

Preeeetttt. Wrong answer! He should have said, "ko pun lawa juga bah..."

Haha! I'm rambling. It's just that I have nothing else better to do. So looking at my blog, I suddenly realised that the number of posts I did for each year is just lame. The most is 24 posts per year, that is like once a month of updating. So now, I'm trying to make up for it by posting this nonsense.

Beside the fact that for the first time in a very very long time, I am home alone. And it is 7.30 pm. I'm suppose to be enjoying one week of school break, but the SPA decided to held some sort of a workshop for three days, 15th-17th. Hubby has to babysit. He got tired of staying at home with Bono from 7am-5pm, so he brought Bono to Papar. And I'm still waiting for them to come home. At first, it was quite fun to have some "me" time but after a few hours, it felt kind of weird.

Maybe I should indulge myself with a very long shower. Followed by a long overdue pedicure-if I can still reach my feet, that's it. Yes, it sounds like a very good idea. Maybe, I'll throw in some facial as well...who knows, I may end up looking yummy as well.

Tea time craving

I'm tired of eating like a rabbit 24-7. My body is being rebellious and starting to crave everything that is sweet and calorie-laden (cakes, butter cookies, those pweety pweety cupcakes, donuts, Famous Amos cookies...yum!). I need to remind myself every time to think about the baby first. High blood sugar level can cause macrosomia (or an excessively large baby), babies born to moms with poorly controlled gestational diabetes also have higher risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), jaundice, respiratory distress syndrome, heart abnormalities and later in life a higher likelihood to develop diabetes or suffer from childhood and adult obesity! There, I hope I've scared myself silly and stop craving all this empty calories.

But I have one craving that I indulge occasionally.

Pisang goreng! Hehe...in fact, I've just demolished 2 ringgit worth of pisang goreng. And no, the above image is not mine, it was googled. I cannot even be bothered to take a pic of mine. So, after this I'll have to do 1 hour of exercise. I know it is fried and full of calories but still better than those cravings mentioned earlier, right?

So, how do you like your pisang goreng? I like it crunchy and slightly burned on the outside but soft and sweet in the inside. Which can only be achieve when ripe banana is used. Surprisingly, this type of pisang goreng is quite hard to find-or is it because I'm too picky? I hate those type that used unripen banana, you know the one where some people like to cecah-cecah in sambal. I just cannot acquire a taste for this way of eating pisang goreng.

My favourite places that sell pisang goreng just the way I like it:

1. The stall near Restoran Lee Sin in Kepayan. But they sold fast, by 3 pm you'll be lucky if there are still some left. By the way, this restaurant also sell the best pau in KK! Yummy...
2. There are two stalls in Lido. One near Milimewa, just in front of the gerai ikan. And another one near the corner restaurant opposite Milimewa-I can't believe I don't know the name of the restaurant because it is one of my fave eatery, I like their kue tiaw soup and their char sau & sau nyuk is the best!

Now I made myself salivate remembering those food...better start my exercise regime now.
