Iftar Menu...Ayam Masak Bijan

Ayam Masak Bijan by Aina Syasya... following recipe kompilasi Masakan Ayam produced by Alaf21. Alhamdulillah, tak payah masak semalam. Presentation by Abah (Azlin)

Sayur pulak camana? Well, Azlin masakkan, so I dont have to cook at all and can focus on finishing Anis's 3rd baju raya:-)

Alamak! Dirtynya tingkap dapur tu...berminyak.

Anis, dulu dan sekarang

Anis at 7 - showing off her teeth - one piece just fell

As I was browsing thru old pictures in my laptop, i saw this picture of Anis looking so cute and slim. Thought I should record the remarkable changes that happened to her. We never thought that she would change from the slim girl into the size she is now...

Celebrating 7th birthday - Ahmad protesting next to her

This is Anis at 10

Anis started putting on more weight when she was nine. Thanks to appendix removal that caused her to reduce her sporting activities. She dropped her taekwando soon after and only exercise during school PJ.

Seriau aka Seghiau @ "Segh(err)ung"

• There was once, I was in hiking and camping club - we went out and climb trees during college break. I looked down, felt nothing but wows and wonder of the scenes. Tak seghung pung:-)
• Then, I got married and we moved back to my old home in flat DBKL at Setapak Jaya. Third floor. I looked down and suddently felt like I was going to fall down. Pening! Seghiau sungguh!
• Yesterday, the kids wanted KFC and McD for Iftar. So, my other half and I went to Sec 18, Shah Alam where the McD and KFC are across the street of each other. We split. I went to KFC and hubby went to McD. I finished my orders first, wanted to cross the not so big but deep drain, suddenly felt like I was going to fall into the drain! So, I took the longest route, avoid drain hopping. Seriau ahh!

I wonder how could this phobia thing developed. From one who used to be active in hiking activities and now, couldn't even bear to look down even at deep drain. Luckily, I can still watch sceneries down from the airplane. Is there some adrenalin change somewhere that had caused this condition after one gets married or have children? :-)

I checked out from Wiki, this sensation is called vertigo, a dizziness triggered by heights. It is not fear of height (acrophobia) , cos I definitely do not qualify for that. It is triggered by many conditions. It looks serious - some imbalance in the inner ear or sudden change of blood pressure or as a symptom of motion sickness while sailing, riding amusement rides, airplanes or in a motor vehicle. Some conditions comes with vomiting and some other serious symptoms. Merriam -Webster Online said that vertigo is a sensation of motion in which the individual or the individual's surroundings seem to whirl dizzily or a dizzy confused state of mind.

Was I confused? No. Was I dizzy? Yea, you can say that. I do have a history of ear infection that caused hole in my ear drum when I was pregnant with Anis but I had recovered and eardrum is not in the inner ear. But it wasn't serious enough to the point of having other medical symptoms. Maybe I could just attribute that to stress. That's what doctors will tell you if they can't find anything wrong with you after going through series of tests :-)
