Random post and sardine puff

Assalammualaikum..
It had been a hectic week spring cleaning the house (washing linens, finalize plans for the old children while I'm in the hospital, packed my hospital bag and etc) before the little bundle of joy arrives. Alhamdulillah all done.

I had my last scanning yesterday at the hospital.  Alhamdulillah she is looking good at 36 weeks. On the other hand, I am still having sporadic vomiting. Blood pressure was taken yesterday at the hospital and that was fine. I didn't eat anything out of the norm but I threw up out of nowhere.  I am keeping strong for my two older children. 

Both Danish and Sofea have started attending the Islamic weekend school every Saturday from 1000-1300 hrs.  It is an introduction program for children age 5 to 6 years old.  The program consists of nine levels, carried out over three years - that is three levels per year. Each stage consists of 12 weeks lessons - ie. three months and provides clear and concise target criteria for what the child should be able to understand before proceeding to the next level.  "YA ALLAH YA TUHAN KU..Tambahkan la ilmu untuk anak2ku dan mudahkanlah kefahaman untuk mereka. Amin."

Ok back to cooking, baking and alike..

I made sardine puff on Sunday.  We had that while watching Man United vs Liverpool game.  Sardine puff is one of my favorite snack but it didn't last for 10 min before i vomited it out.  It's kinda ironic.
