Jingga's surgery

My cat Jingga went for  a surgery at a vet in Damansara Utama. this Tuesday . The surgery was for his mandible ,the jaw which was deformed for some time. After  a long surgery , we brought him home still unconscious When he was quite awake he tried to scratch his mouth . My mother and I rushed to the vet again at  7.00  pm where the good vet gave me a plastic collar. We put him in a cage and he tried to get the collar out , he thumped . My mother put back the plastic collar, he put  it out again. At last I decided to let him out  of the cage . He was tired and I did  not know what to do.After that in early in  the morning he was outside the door and slept in the room. I gave him his medication and an energy drink, some white powder to mix with water the next  day and some wet food .Boiled fish . After taking the mixture he slept most of the day . I will have to bring him to the vet every week for the next 4 weeks and then they will remove the iron in his mouth. I hope he will be alright . He is okay for now . Still resting in the lower part of the  cupboard in my room . He has been staying in  there since last week. His  new  hideout .

December Birthday

Last night the family celebrated those whose birthday fall in December. It was for my father, Mal, Rafiq,Maryam and also my self. He , he , The recipe  for the night was crab curry, grilled Bawal, my sister Nas's tempura , ulam, nasi minyak , tasty lamb and chicken dish. We also have a "Khatam Al Quran" ceremony and dua for Maryam who had completed reciting the AlQuran.There were two cakes from Rafiq and Nasriah. Nas and her family , Rafiq and family and Taei were around.

I had asthma attack two days ago. I felt so tired. My cat Jingga is not well. His mouth is a sore sight to see and I will bring him to the vet.  I have bought some products from Puteri Rembulan which were the black soap, day and night cream. I need to buy the toner and moisturizer one of this days. I wonder if I can wait for another one year to see the result. Such a long time.I have started a small business again. The last time was not so successful. Well , one can start again and learn from the mistakes.

On Friday night , my sister , her children , my parents and I got the chance to watch the Anugerah Skrin for the first time. When we got to the Best Western premier for the night , we saw so many artistes in their glamorous night gowns. After that we went down and watched the paparazzi, I had hoped that we can watch the show at the PWTC on the 4th floor. Then we heard that there are a few places left. We went upstairs and we were given some tickets. So off we went my parents and all. It was  a very nice experience. Well the pretty artists are so tiny. Maybe next time I will come with my husband. After the show my husband brought to a Pakistani restaurant nearby .

 

Fruit Juice

I have not been drinking fruit juice regularly for the past two years. I used to drink fresh juice everyday when I was working. My mother bought a  juicer and it has been with us eversince.  After coming back from Jakarta I decided to buy some fruits for juicing. There is pink guava at her house, Yati too is juicing. Nas said she will drink fruit juice too. I have bought apples and carrots and my mother would buy oranges. Last time we bought  two cartons each of apples and oranges at the Chow Kit market. It was about RM 150 , I can't remember , my mother bought one carton at the Pasaraya nearby and it cost RM 100 for 100 apples.  I think it is better to buy at the Chow Kit market but my mother does not know how to drive there.  She felt it is very difficult , she usually drives around PJ area and Shah Alam. My father drives around the home area and the farthest is to Kota Damansara.  I do not know how to drive, I failed the tests so here I am . There is a rosy glow when one consumes fruit juice , it is expensive though. I remember watching a show when the commentator asked Chef Wan the secret to his youthfulness. He said juicing  . My mother was hooked. So here is to fresh juice , the fountain of youth.

Fair and Lovely Anti Marks - Pigmentation

Today is my father's birthday . He is 74 years old today . We will be celebrating  Mal, Rafiq , Maryam's birthday during the Christmas holidays. I think I will join in too .
For the past two weeks I have been using  Fair and Lovely Anti Marks cream. The colour of this cream is peach . I have seen this cream almost every time I go to a pharmacy or the supermarket but never tried it  until now  .  I have been using it to erase the pigmentation on my  left cheek. I am  very happy to report that two of my four brown spots have dissapeared.  I have also started to use Citra Lestari rice milk soap. My face felt rough though . I don't know why perhaps because I have not use any moisturizer what so ever. I also use  the Sepang Oil from HPA. I am thinking of trying either Sri Mawar, Puteri Rembulan or Nouvelles Visage. I can purchase all three online .With Puteri Rembulan , I can find it at Semua House Kuala Lumpur .There is a dealer who sells Nouvelle Visages near my house.  . One has to be patient with these skincare. A year at least but  with me using different brand  every two months is a no no. My face is darker than my hands. I have pigmentation although it is fading  and if  I buy another Fair and Lovely tube it might dissapear  but I so want to buy another pigmentation soap and a day cream. The pigmentation looks like a soft streak  and it is fading.

This goes to another area of interest , spending. Spend your money frugally. I have read T.Harve Eker's book  the Secrets of the Millionaire mind  book where you put  your hard earned money in six jars or 10% of the salary into different  accounts. The  play money is the one you use for whatever you want each month  . So you spend the 10% of it each month.and another 10% where you can save for long term spending. Live frugally . Have fun ....

Tajine Restaurant ,Bukit Bintang

Last Monday was my husband's day off.He agreed to go for lunch. I tried to contact several middle -eastern restaurants at Jalan Damai and Bangsar but to no avail.At last he agreed to go to the  Tajine Restaurant at Bukit Bintang . It is a Moroccan restaurant. I have always wanted to go there but did not want to go alone. So off we went , it was raining heavily. The road was jammed along the Pudu area. My husband said his legs were crammed so we stopped near a parking area. It has been awhile since we came to this area. Along the shops  there were many arabian perfumeries.

We walked until I saw the Ship restaurant and BB park , so it must be near. It is near the Mc Donald's since I have googled the place frequently.  Actually it is behind the McDonald's  above a shop ,you cannot miss the sign of a tagine. A waiter in was waiting downstairs. Sorry ,  I have no pictures. There were two customers  around . The decor is nice enough , we went to the windows , one can see Lot 10 and more . It would be romantic at night . I ordered the lamb tagine with prunes , for RM 22, there are many types of tagines. It is in the RM 22 range, my husband tried the one on promotion for RM 15.90 with drinks along. The tagine came with bread but I ordered some rice. The lamb comes with prunes, soft and tasty . I have never tasted a tagine before and it is good.The waiters were friendly   The rice is in large portion. My husband said he is full. I think I will come here again but at night.  The bill came for RM 58 . So, I think it is okay .

After lunch , we went to BB park  and for some tea.  We went back and I did asked for some bakhoor . They have nice ones but I liked the one from Dubai . After that we stopped at Semua House to buy a pigmentation soap. There is no Reneu soap but there is a  Puteri Rembulan one . I did not buy that soap instead bought the Citra Lestari soap. This soap does not last long , I think I will buy the Puteri Rembulan soap . How fickle can I get.

Massage

My right knee hurts. As maybe I have written, I could not perform my prayers since February. Just  before going to Jakarta I could perform the prayers. After coming back the knee hurts. Now I know how it felt to have painful knees.  My mother met a lady one day on the way back home. She is from Palembang and is working as a masseur at  a gynaecologist nearby. I had my legs massaged , she said it is wind. A lot of gas and she gave mixture of pounded rice which was soaked for one night, cekur and ginger. She said she has to pound the mixture for three hours. After putting the pounded mixture or 'Param' as it is called , I could perform my prayers.

Alhamdullillah . I thought my knees are gone forever. Now my grandmother is here , she can't walk. Hopefully after three days of massage , she too can walk.
