I am a non malay married to a malay hubby who love Malay traditional food (very much)& as a newlywed this is a huge problem for me. Why? Coz I have limited knowledge & I don't have any experience in cooking malay traditional food before. But lucky me, it won't stop him from loving his imperfect wife.
I’m happy to say that he did something pleasantly surprising, he cooked for iftar(buka puasa)last weekend. What really amazed me though was that he made kuih gula melaka as well. Cooking malay food such as 'kerutup' and 'asam pedas' is no easy task for a beginner, so I think he did really well...YUMMY
Darling, I’m so happy and proud of you :)
pasni, kitaorang boleh la buka restoran(dia tukang masak, saya tauke besar..hahaha)

Forgetfulness - Memory Loss - Absentminded
Science has now confirmed what expectant moms already know: Carrying a baby makes them more forgetful.
Haaa..., For all you expecting moms out there, be prepared to deal with this syndrome.
Research shows that the volume of the brain cells lessens during pregnancy due to hormonal changes in the body. In addition, memory loss during pregnancy is a result of excessive anxiety. And other studies have shown that sleep deficiency definitely disrupts cognitive performance, so if you’re not sleeping well it is no surprise that you are feeling a bit absentminded.
Here are some of the interesting research findings:
more than 50% of pregnant women experience this symptoms.
this seems to especially be the case during the first trimester and the third trimester. As with many pregnancy symptoms, the second trimester seems to be the easiest.
for unknown reasons, women pregnant with girls are more likely to experience memory loss compared to those carrying boys.
the duration of memory loss varies, some women regain their normal memory state shortly after giving birth, some do a few months after the delivery.
women who were not warned about memory loss during pregnancy had a higher rate of self-image problems and anxiety.
I had first hand experience dealing with this syndrome. During my early stage of pregnancy, I always left my handphone, pass or purse whether at the office, car or home. And recently I dropped my handphone somewhere while withdrawing money from ATM. What i regret most, i lost all of my friend & family contact number & surely it will take some time get back on track.
