Cantella Asiatica anyone?

Whoa! Last post was in July!! Okay.. don't keep your hopes up yet. No baby. Still a double :) We are now going traditional yo!

Since everyone asked me to wait for at least a year before heading off to the doctors, we decided that we won't be sitting around simply waiting. So we opted for traditional.

Yes, u heard right. Here come's the disgusting jamu and smelly potions. The start was a little shaky. Had to complete a course of jamu capsules. Can't really remember what its called. i cheated though and skipped a few days. heehe. Mane tak nyer. Dahlah kene makan 3 kali sehari, tiga bijik setiap kali plak tu! seksa... Memula je semangat, pastu start skip timing.. then skip hari. Then terus terlupa.

Then onto Course 2. Maajun. Sticky stinky balls of herbs and spices to down in 12 days. he has to go through this too. I'm not alone! Baru tau betapa busuk dan pahit dan seksa nyer nak makan jamu! Tapi kali ni tak cheating hokay... Siap Mak Esah (aunty hubby yang mmg tukang urut dan ubat traditional) kate "Mak nak tgk laki bini makan ni. Habis 12 hari datang jumpa mak. Jangan lupa tau." First few days mmg susah giler. Bile masukkn dalam mulut, terus Maajun tu cam melekat. Dah lah rase spice die kuat giler! Taknak turun plak tu! Tp after hari ketiga, dah pro.... 

So settle lah 12 hari, kitorg pun call lah Mak. Mak pesan, pas habis ni, call Mak, die bg list bende2 yang nak kene beli. Her list:

1. Daun pegaga

2. Halia muda

3. Lempoyang

4. Madu asli

"Nak senang, beli semua ni kat pasar Chow Kit. Kalau takut salah beli ke, tak tau nk beli, amik Mak, kite pg same2"

So kitorg pun balik je keje (nasib baik haritu mmg dedua leh cabuit on the dot!) amik lah Mak and bawak die gi pasar Chow Kit. Seyes... First time masuk, horror gak. Mak stop kat satu kedai tu.

"Bg lempoyang 1 kilo." Terbeliak gak bijik mate. 1 kilo?? Banyak nyer! Siap kene pilih sendiri lah.. 

Pastu gi kat satu lagik kedai "Nak, bg Mak daun pegaga ni 10 ikat. ah. tambahlah satu lg ikat. boleh?"

Gulp. 11 ikat?? Banyaknyer... Pastu kami sambung lagik carik halia muda pulak. Seyes if mak tak ikut, mmg lah tak tau nk pilih.

Sampai umah Mak, we kene cuci plak daun pegaga tu. Akar takleh buang coz semua nutrition kat akar. Cuci punye cuci, sedar2 dh 3 jam. Hahaaha. Imagine lah tangan kitorg cammane kecut.

Then comes the instructions...

"Daun ni kamu blend. Blend skali ngan bawang putih. Lepas blend semua, simpan dalam peti ais. Setiap pagi sebelum sarapan, minum satu mug. Blend ngan air ni (air yasin). Abang Ki, kamu punyer rumit sikit. Ni mak dah bahagi2kan. Satu bahagian untuk 3 hari, lepas 3hari leh buang and blend bahagian yang baru."

"Jgn lupa. Sebelum minum, selawat, baca al-fatihah, pastu jatuhkan niat.." 

u boleh?

Okay.. Mine although bau die cam rumput and ade sikit2 bau bawang putih, tak seteruk hubby punyer. Kesian die. Imagine lah, halia and lempoyang blend! Pas blend kene masak, then tapis to get the juice. Even the two spoons of madu asli cannot rid the foul taste. And kene minum  2 kali sehari pulak tu. heheee.. Busukkkkkkkkkkkk tak hengat!

So now, we are at Day 2. I think i still have two mornings for the dreadful green juice and him, another full week X 2! Pasni kene jumpa Mak lagik tu report.

Hopefully dengan izin Allah, our usaha will be fruitful.
