I've been having cases of diarrhea since i got back from Melbourne..and unfortunately, until now the stomach bug still refuse to go away...hmmm...sian baby mummy ..kurang iron n minerals. As a result, mummy terus dapat low blood..8.3 jek..betul2 kurang tuh. So, semalam konon2nye terkobar-kobar la nak masak for my breakfast n lunch. Pergi Giant after work beli itu ini...then, sampai rumah mandi n siap sedia nak amik Little Ranger kat umah Maktok. But...sampai jek rumah terus sume ingatan nak masak tu lenyap. Penat siot. Me and Little Ranger slept quite early last nite..around 10pm. Sabar jeklah. Nampaknya malam ni cuba lagi la yek..kehkehkehkeh..insha allah.
