amy, I am only 1.5m but i wore long gown too. Can try A-line cutting as it will make us look taller.
Bearge, take easy on yourself *hugz* I will also eye-shoot relatives who kapo & ask abt our family planning. Tk god his relatives are all in M'sia & his parents don't want to look after our kid in future so they dare nt "chase" us.
peapea, if i remember correctly, our cycle is similar this mth. How's ur 2WW? Mine is quite bad as i still can't identify when i O or hv Oed already or nt. Now feeling the usual sore nipples now but still v dry, totally out of norm. I hv felt some pain on my left pelvic this time tot, wondering if it's egg release? I lost my cool 2nights ago too, cos I want to BD but hb too stressed and end up no mood. He say he feel like a machine [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] I cool down & told him last night.. this cycle just leave it to fate... most importantly we hv each other & the rest will come when it's right. Signz... nvr know it's so draining on both to BD alternate days.

Btw, juz share wif u gals something very off topic here, abt something I did last nite.
I had been troubled since I gotten my keys to my house last year, by legalised creditors hounding for ex-owners and ex-tenants. Made a police report in Dec 2010 and thot all nonsense will stop, until this week, gotten another letter.
I was so pissed off that I shoot an e-mail to the higher up of SPF, my MP and ICA last nite! =D And, boy, the reponse was pretty fast! Haha.. One of them replied my e-mail and cc everyone one else tat I e-mailed to say the investigation officer is looking into the case. ^_^
Hopefully, there will peace at last, and that SPF will take some actions against those who dun change their address. =p

peapea >> I'm not feeling so good actually. Woke up with a shock this morning with heavier spotting, and now the spotting is slightly redder. Last night had weird feeling that I usually get when during AF I have a clot stuck (sorry tmi) that doesn't want to come out... not exactly cramps but I dunno how to describe. Going to confine myself to bed today w laptop next to me, and try not to think too much. Afterall, there is nothing I can do but wait n see.
peapea,
Ya lor this mth BD the 2 days gynae ask me to lor and the 2 pillows but hor every time pin hope end up also disappointment so i really dun feel so zhun tis time liao.

huh... so sad.... choose career over baby? if it is unwed then maybe i still can understand... but career over baby?? i was discussing with my boss lately about furthering studies... she was discouraging me cuz she knows i am ttc-ing... ask me to conc on ttc-ing first....
peapea,
Hmm maybe some pple more career minded bah.
From my point of view, i also feel if you ttc better put further studies on hold. My fren who are pregnant before alway tell me when they pregnant really tired leh like keep wan sleep all tis so if in the middle of your studies you conceive successfully scare you might not be able to concentrate on your studies leh.

lynzi >> Hm, that's an idea. My gynae is in surgery until evening, probably give him a call later.
kwxy >> Oh dear! the weather is terrible these days, do take care of yourself. Can try taking echinacea or vit c supplements to boost your immune system.

Hi Ladies! Long weekend is here! Enjoy!
missus_BL, think you might want to see your gynae asap?
bearGE, *hugz* glad you are feeling better.
tethysea, better get more rest and maybe call your gynae up as red spotting is not good. He might want to give you some meds to stablise the pregnancy.
peapea and jas, you still have chance. Good luck!
KWXY, do take care. Get well soon.
lynzi, wat ingredients do you cook for nasi lemak? When I cook nasi lemak, the ingredients are fried chicken/curry chicken, fried prawns, egg and veggie. My otak is not really successful as turn out more thai than local otak. Pls share!

My nasi lemak very simple. I just dumped some rice with Kara coconut milk, salt to taste n some pandan leaves into my rice cooker. Then i fried some fish, ikan bilis, chicken n either fry eggs or omelette. The sambal this time is ready made from my mil. If not then i will make sambal sotong with quail eggs. Then cut some cucumber as side. Today i cut some fruits too..rock melon with guava.
KWXY,
take care n drink more water.
Get well soon!
Tethysea,
then u better see gynae for jab as soon as he finish with surgery.

lynzi, oh yea.. forgot abt ikan bilis with peanuts. I make that too. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] But doesn't putting into your rice cooker "burns" the rice a little at the bottom as you will need to cook longer since you are using coconut milk right? Coz mine ended up burnt the 1st time I tried in rice cooker so I always using the steaming method. Put the rice with coconut milk and pandan leaves in the rice cooker pot and steam.
Sorry ladies for talking abt cooking instead....

peapea, just feel that I am hijacking the thread. Amy is talking abt wedding preps and me abt cooking. But at least takes our mind off TTC. I am not the best cook but like cooking and baking so if you pple want to ask anything just let me know. Lynzi seems to be a good cook too!
And it is not steaming the rice in the rice cooker. Sorry for the confusion. It is steaming in those metal steamers. Dunno if you have those at home but needs to be of a certain size to fit your rice cooker pot. But how come your rice is burnt when you put in rice cooker? Shouldnt happen. I only burn my rice when cooking in claypot. I use old fashioned style to cook my rice and porridge. Hee.. I find more fragrant.

nbb01, no worries.. i agree with amy... all these talks about wedding and GE and cooking takes my mind off TTC... which is good!
i can bake... but i cant cook that well... i think until now, i dont know how to agar how much water to use for rice... anyone got tips?? other than that, i think i can follow receipes quite well la... we just bought pressure cooker... i think can cook rice using that right?

Amy,
agree with u. If everyday talk about ttc is very stressful.
Life needs variation..hehe
Nb01,

Peapea,
dont use maggi. Go get Kee's chicken rice paste.
It tastes super good..just follow the recipe at the bottle.
For me, i like to marinate my chicken wings overnite then bake in oven cos i got a young tot at home n i try not to give him fried stuff.
Baking is healthier..drizzle with olive oil.
Then make some chap chye is nice..can use haochi mix buy from supermarket.
Make the garlic chilli n its ready!
Wow..pressure cooker..can make beef stew..yummy!

jan jan,
i discussed with hubby yesterday... agree with him and my boss la... will put it on hold first... the good thing is, since my boss mentioned that fact that i am ttc-ing and i shldnt study, means she is prepared if i announce to her i am pregnant (eventually and soon i hope!) so i dont have pressure of what to tell her if i succeed.. =)

lynzi and peapea, high 5! I also like baking more than cooking but we live by ourselves so if I dun cook, will have to eat out or starve.
Btw, how you make chicken rice? From scratch? The only one I know how to make is using the ready made paste. Can share recipe?
peapea, to check the water level for rice, I normally put an index finger onto the top surface level of the rice that is submerged into the rice and check that the water level from the rice top comes to abt half my finger tip. Not sure if I am explaning this well... Anyone else can help?
Also, talking abt chicken stock, I normally make my own. Don't want to use the ready made ones outside. Maybe you want to try? I never used a pressure cooker before but I think it can be used to cook soup too. I use a crockpot and put a kampung chicken inside and let it cook for 8-10 hours and voila, home made chicken stock/soup!

Is Kee's chicken paste that good? Got MSG? Can't remember which brand I am using (maybe called Home Brand or something) but it comes in a packet form. Doesn't have MSG which is why I am using it. Also very easy to cook following the recipe on the back and they have lots of other pastes like laksa, claypot rice etc...
Wat is Haochi mix? Never seen before....

Peapea,
ntuc, shopnsave all got sell Kee's paste.
I even made slight variation n used it to make szechuan chicken.
Nb01,
i always use Kee paste.
Its not salty like the other ready made ones.
If not then will make from scratch..saute mix of onion, garlic n ginger then use chicken stock n put some chicken bones in with the whole mixture to cook the rice.
Doing from scratch is more oily as saute must use oil n chicken stock etc will excrete their natural oil too.

peapea, another easy recipe for soup/stock base that you can use to make soup noodles. use yellow bean 80% and ikan bilis 20% and boil. Ikan bilis you get those without head/tail i.e. degutted as the head/tail can make the soup base bitter if you boil for too long. That is the soup base they use for yong tau foo and I use to make noodle soup at home. Fast and easy and healthy.
Like lynzi said, you can also make beef stew but my beef stew turns more like beef soup. I might change to cooking the stew in the oven instead. Let you know if I manage to perfect it.
