Rice Cooker 🍚

Survival mode kicked in this week. The induction stove at my apartment suddenly stopped working. I can't find out the reason. It is end of the month and honestly, I am almost broke. Eating outside means RM7-RM10 per meal. Then only I realized that I can cook with rice cooker while I repair the induction stove. 😂 . So far, I cooked only two dishes - egg sambal and ginger chicken.

I am currently practicing mindfulness. Still a newbie but I learned a lot. Some tips I picked up along the way :-

🌿 Do one thing at a time.
🌿 If you are stressed out, take deep breaths and use your 5 senses to control your emotion.
🌿 Take at least 3 minutes a day to reflect on yourself at current state.

So yeah, I feel more productive after practicing this. I used to write when I feel overwhelmed, but now only I realized it is called brain dump.

Ok then, I guess that's it for today. 😊

My TTC Journey 🚼 : LPPKN Part 1

For those wandering what is TTC, it means trying to conceive. I had conceived before but it was not viable.

I planned to go for fertility treatment and thanks to my colleague, she told me about LPPKN. 

I messaged them on Facebook and I they replied with the numbers to call. Oh, I can't upload the screenshot. I will try to upload on the laptop later.

So, I called and got an appointment on 14/5.

Basically, this is the first step.

Your husband will be sent for a semen analysis.

While he is on that, you will have a questionnaire with a doctor.

And once you are done, your husband who by then should be back from semen analysis will be called for questionnaire. 

Once the semen result is out, the doctor will set an appointment for you based on your period dates.

On the next period, you have to go for blood tests within day 2 - day 5.

Then, you have to call for HSG x-ray appointment, usually day 9.

You will have another appointment on day 21. And then, finally, you will have an appointment with the doctor.

The doctor who will attend me is Dr.Komathy. 

I paid a total of RM75 for this session.

I will update on following sessions. Baby dust to all on the same boat.

On a quest for Kula Deivam

 I am currently TTC for a baby. I am going for fertility treatments and also doing all I can - prayers. By coincidence, my husband watched a video about Kula Deivam.

Hindus do believe on Kula Deivam. It means a deity who protects your family generation by generation. I need to follow my husband's side. My father in law is not sure on this; who and where.

So I start reading. I found out few important points.

1. Kula Deivam need to be approached for every good occasions of the family. Example ; weddings, baby showers, naming ceremony etc.
2. Who and whereabouts of the Kula Deivam can be found by the eldest son's or daughter's astrology.
3. You can also go to a priest to find out.
4. You can also light a agal vilaku with nallennai. Place it facing north and pray to the deity.

My husband and I went to a priest and we found out about it.

My feeling after finding out is relief.  I don't know why, but I feel relieved.

I am back!

But, with a disclaimer. I hope I will update frequently but you know, adulting gets in between. 

So, well, I didn't really know where to begin. It has been a long time since I last updated. Let me start from today.

It has been a productive offday. I slept in until 12pm. I went to have lunch with Viknes. I came back home and did string art. Then, I swept the house, folded some clothes and showered. Now on bed, writing this.

I just did a brain dump. I was feeling overwhelmed for the past few days. Thank God for Internet, I managed to find a way to get rid of the feeling. You just dump everything on your brain and then organize it. 

I am working tomorrow and it will be 6 days in a row. 💪 I am sure I can do this.

It feels good to write here, again.

😊
