Zarif's 4th Birthday
On Friday the 15th, was Zarif's 4th birthday. We decided to just throw a small birthday party at his school. Ordered some cupcakes from a friend. Fried some Nuggets, cocktail sausages and some fries, and most importantly some party packs for his friends. He had a lovely time, inspite of the scale of the party. He even got some gifts from some of his classmates. Happy Birthday Dik Dik!!!

Mee Udang at Kuala Sepetang
Has anyone heard about this? Yep, Mee Udang @ Kuala Sepetang. Nope it isn't an email address. It's actually a dish that you can get in Kuala Sepetang, Perak. Never been there myself, but thank goodness for my hubby, who actually brought some home for me.
What's is so great about the mee right? Well, if you know me, you will know these few facts about me with regards to prawns/shrimps:
1) I hate cleaning them
2) I cannot clean them, once I start, my hands would start to get really itchy
3) I don't like the taste of them in general unless their lobsters
4) I do not eat small tiny prawns, because from experience, I tend to get a certain kind of allergy reaction, either my mouth would feel kind of itchi or I start feeling nauseas and would have to vomit out everything that I have just consumed
5) Later on I realise that it isn't so much about the size of the prawns or the price, but it is more about the freshness
So back to my mee udang story. Right, so due to the 5 factors above, and most importantly point number 3, I have never ever had mee udang in my entire 33 ++ years of life. I was never really that excited with the emails that have been circulating and the stories I have heard from friends and also my husband's previous experience trying the Mee Udang. When he brought home the infamous Mee Udang one day I was rather sceptical about trying the Mee Udang for I was afraid that I would break into one of those allergy reactions after having had the dish.
I tried it anyhow, and waited and waited and waited for something to happen. I thought at first my mouth was feeling funny, but then guess it was more psychological more than anything. After an hour still nothing. So the verdict is... the Mee Udang in Kuala Sepetang is sooooooo fresh!!!!! No allergy reaction nothing!!! Amazing. Even though hubby bought it at perhaps 2p.m and I had it at about 8p.m that night. Having never tasted Prawn Mee before, I thought it was alright, but the difference with this Mee Udang was that in one small pack of mee, there was 12, I repeat a dozen!!! prawns, where can you get that in any other shops right? 12 prawns.
The ones that my hubby brought back were the RM8 ones, the different prices reflects the sizes of the prawns, apparently there are the RM10 and also RM12. You can also get Nasi Goreng Udang, Nasi Udang (as opposed to Nasi Ayam) and even Kuey Teow Udang.

Mee Udang
Nasi Goreng Udang
Hubby tried the Nasi Goreng Udang the 2nd time he was there. He thought that was pretty good too. I guess the fact that the prawns are so fresh that makes the dishes so good and if you are prawn crazy you would really love it than. The next time you are heading up North, give this a try, drop by for lunch at Kuala Sepetang, cannot give you the specific direction, all I know is you need to take the Highway exit at Changkat Jering once you find yourself in Kuala Sepetang, I guess you can always ask the locals the whereabouts of the gerai. Happy Trying!!!

I am 22 weeks pregnant
What are the Pregnancy Weekly Tips for this week you wonder? I have cut and pasted the latest post for the week!
Week 22 Pregnancy Tip
Week 22 Pregnancy Tip
Hi Eti,For the health and safety of you and your baby, there are certain physical activities you should avoid while you are pregnant. Here's a short list:
PW: Avoid anything that requires you to lie flat on your back after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Me: Does this include lying down??? I sure hope not, cause that's basically all that I do now!!!
PW:Avoid contact sports such as football and boxing, and other high-impact activities, such as horseback riding
Me:No worries here mate! Since I happen to avoid these sports activities even when I was not pregnant, now that I am 62kg ++ not chance!
PW: Avoid activities that make you jump or change directions quickly, such as tennis or basketball.
Me: Really, if they know me at all, these Week 22 tip is totally not relevant to me!
I should really post a picture of me now huh? Well, as far as my son is concerned, when he saw me last weekend while I was changing, Mama I think the baby in your stomach is coming out anytime now! If the baby stays any longer in your tummy, you are just going to burst!!! No kidding Zarif, I feel like I am going to burst, and I will only get bigger from now on! 101 days to go... God give me strength and an LV Mini Lin oops what was that??? Just my hormones talking!
