Corner of CNY

Last weekend, went to 1 U New Wing for the Ogawa SMS & Win lucky draw contest. We not being choose. This contest at the end only pick 5 ppl, which those ppl mobile number were randomly pick from computer. Then, from 5 of them one of them will hav the key and drive away the new Honda City. Before this event start, we were there early to avoid no parking n pack…unexpectedly since last Saturday is the last week before CNY, damn lot of ppl and cars…before lucky draw starts we also there to watch the acrobatic show from China. A lot of ppl pack at the Concourse area of New Wing. This area hav been set up as a “shi he yuan” design. Ok need to talk about the 5 ppl who picked to get the car, 2 mid-age ladies who sit next to me during the acrobatic show they lucky enough to b choose…aiyah..why not me…the luck goes to them already…This day also my collegemate plan to hav gathering, coz 2 of our fren back from oversea…actually I so wan to go…but due to the venue I didn’t make it.

Coming weekend will b our CNY. Since beginning of the month, we started clean the house lil by lil and buy the CNY things like drinks, snacks and food. Mainly are as gift to relative. This year is our first cny and being a married couple, first year hav to giv double ang pau…so we hav prepared 200 pcs of ang pau to those relative who not married….also plan to visit 3 of my frens…hope I can make it.

Since last week, everyday I feel my tummy tremendously grow bigger. Makes me a bit uncomfortable too. And the nerve at the right lower back also start feel pain when walk. Body sweating a lot even in aircon room and always feel hot..

Yesterday went back to Puchong for reunion dinner. Yeah this time make it kinda early coz tomorrow my dad will b going to China Huang Shan and Shanghai for holiday with my aunty n family for 11 days. So this year the atmosphere at 1st of cny will b a bit quiet. We got to visit my mum again during 1st of cny and probably only aft cny only b able to see her again….this round of cny surely I miss all my Ipoh relatives and cute nephews and nieces, anyway even I’m not personally there, but ang pau sure will reach them.

What I'm having...

Every month, looking for the * day I marked down, whereby I’ll go for my check-up also the day I waiting for to see how my little one grows. Beside I hav many question to ask about the early symptom I’m facing now, the next question was is this a baby boy or girl. We check it out, it is a BOY BOY. To double comfirm I even ask doc to show me clearly the “part”. This time his leg is open big big like he is ready to tell his papa mama…haha…Brandon so happy when know about it, that is the baby boy he longing for. Check through every part of his body…everything is fine, head measurement 5cm, no crack lips, round round face, can clearly see his chubby cheek too, heart shape ok, no hole-in-heart, hand n legs are looking long…I think he is a bit skinny la…dunno whether is it both our thin and skinny genetic. That’s why I dun feel my tummy is big for now…anyway hav started to wear maternity dress, tummy are feel more comfortable.

I hav put a baby ticker at the top of the blog…counting down the due date. Now can clearly feel everyday he is growing fast, n that’s make me always feel hungry and wan to eat more.

My ex-colleague introduced me to a maternity wear shop where they cater for young pregnant women at Sg. Wang 1st floor V-KY (same row as Parkson entrance). Last week I went there to bought my CNY wear…when I saw it I love it very much, coz that is what I wan to look for all this while which I can’t find at all leading departmental store n maternity shop. The dress there are young look, trendy n fashionable. I was so happy, spend 1 ½ hours there to try…and finally bought 2 full dresses and 1 set of top n pant. Later shop for new shoes too. Very satisfied of it. Maternity wear I found outside it is too big for me, as my shoulder is small size n overall figure is skinny. And, maternity dresses are all free size, normally quite big one..only partly top / pant there are sizes. At V-KY I found what I wan and I did recommend to my pregnant frens too. There is another new branch just open at SS2 same row with McDonald’s. Thanks to sis Esther, she voluntary borrow me some of her maternity dress…at the moment of some of those small sizes can wear…

Aft CNY, I got to plan to shop for baby bed, baby clothes and all other necessary baby product. Just check out the price to deliver baby at Pantai Hospital. Normal birth RM 2500-3000, inclusive of 1 day stay at hospital, either before or aft, extra charge for additional day. Caesarean RM 5000+ and hospital stay are same. The injection to lesser down the deliver pain cost RM1000-1200. This not include in the delivery fee. My first expression in heart was, ahh…so so expensive to hav a baby. If add the confinement women (market price now RM2500-3000 plus to giv an additional ang pau about RM100 upon complete for the confinement month. During CNY even double charge), massage lady, supplement..etc….!!!! Think until here I sweat already…so to have a baby u need at least RM10,000. And the list goes infinity. Now pregnant also got package, but this only available to clinic outside.

The moment

Another year have past, last year have been experience many status of life and it is an important year for me to start to b more independent. From single to married and soon mother to be. Been to some places, see a lot of things, learning different things in different status. It just pass in a blink. Life is still a learning.

Today only got time to blog. What hav happen to my New Year. Since the last day of 2005 I hav been very busy, mainly becoz company hav change to SDN. BHD. Many things hav to tidy up and many recording work n paper work need to do. New system to cater the new company, now can say everything have be computerized. As you know how detail a private limited company doc to be. Everything hav to b prove n wit black and white. Now still doing the stock balance of last year..many more to go. System wise some accounting modules are yet to b updated n change to suit our needs. But overall it not distracting the running of daily transaction. All of us still need time to used to the system.

New Year holiday and eve to me is nothing now, as usual many places play firework, I just watch the fireworks thru my window and not join the crowd…haha..old already, do not hav the mood to b in the crowd. So since holiday is time to tidy up the hut again, especially our store room, now looks more tidy with space. And, CNY is coming, is also a time to clean and wash others too. As a simple celebration and relax for the holiday, we been to buffet lunch at Boulevard Hotel (again..). Food ok ok only, we spend 3 hrs there, eat, chit-chat and slow eat n enjoy. Coincidently met my 3rd uncle n aunty, they were there to celebrate of their winning in dancing competition with others dancer. We chit-chat for a while.

Now everybody saw me also ask about my baby and the eye contact will automatically goes to my belly first. Ok la…is still fine, not so big…measured 31.5 inches (the belly line) only and it is 5 months now. Consider small la..not wearing any maternity wear yet..most of the time wearing my stretcherable pant or gym pant and bigger T…I hav been eating a lot lately, gain 2 kg, belly skin start itchy and slightly can feel the baby is moving. Quite happy about it. Now I start talking to him. Sometime also dunno what to talk to him, I wan to buy some story book and read to him. According to the baby edu book I read, bb who 5 months above he can recognize mum’s body smell n voice outside. And he do can feel all his mum expression happy, sad, angry, cry..etc..of coz bad emotion can cause baby feel bad too..

Happy that to know that my best fren is having bb now. Now I can share with her my experience, and giv her some advice. Hope she is fine in her 1st trimester. While I reading those baby book n mag about those hours before delivery, I started get afraid of it. Hope I can slowly b more prepared myself. Another 4 months+ to go only. …

Body start to hav more changes and I got to check out the reason and seek advise…u see this 280 days everyday is learning day to me. Currently I found slow walk is very comfortable to me. Ever since he comes I’m not exercising my body. Hopefully from now on everyday I can hav time to b in the park to take in fresh air, relax myself and most important rest early. Everything I do now is for the benefits of the baby. Just do my best to giv him the best before he come to the world.
