Labor & Delivery

Have been listen and read about many painful story about delivery a baby..finally I taste it..and the experience won't b forget lifetime.

20th May Saturday - midnight about 2am suspected my water bag hav burst..at 5am and i felt that water leak out is more n more...so i quickly took a shower then change, bring my hospital bag and admit hospital..

5.45am - admit to hospital and lay down in labor n delivery ward...is a single room...i thought they will check me on the water bag burst condition first before they can confirm that i need to admit hospital..but they did not do that...nurse started to ask me to change into the hospital wear and started to put on the heart beat belt on me to check baby heart beat and contraction pain. At time admit hospital i didn't have any pain at all..also together they giv a bowel care...

7.10am - my gynea came, checked me and said that my water bag hav burst (actually he did not do any scan or check also) and started to check my cervical dilation. This is very pain to me too...he said that my cervical haven't dilate yet. He recommend that i used epidural or hav c-sec since i so afraid of the pain...before they do any of these 2...my mum, cousins sis thru phone asking me not to take that, as this epidural may hav side effect when we get older later....especially it may cause back-ache....as it inject into the back bone...although doc said it is very safe n very common to take it and it greatly reduce pain n no effect in future... after some consideration n advice i did not take any epidural...so i gotta tell myself i have to take the contraction pain n labor pain wit all my strength n faith...

After doc left, those staff midwife started to giv me fluid drop to let my cervical dilate n get into pain...so before the pain come i can sleep, eat n watch Wah Lai Toi. After lunch pain started to come little by little...my pastor's wife came to visit me and prayed for me for a short while...Nurse on n off came n check my condition of dilation. 3-4 hours have passed and my dilation is only 3cm..at that time my tummy already cramp like hell...i can't move around or even sleep side way..coz the heartbeat belt and fluid drop machine is hang on me...so i just can sleep straight only...leg also can't put up as it will slowly down the dilation....so it is real pain..i asked for the pain killer injection...(as recommend by my cousin)..it greatly comfort me, aft the injection i can even sleep and the pain is reduce 50%.

Around 6pm, when i awake the dilation reach 5cm. The great pain was back as the pain killer medicine is over. Very very cramp n pain...every 5 min....wah...those hours very very hard to passed..i started to think when i can tahan until it fully dilate...so as nurse said no pain no delivery...so i gotta tahan lorr...

Within 1 hour...beyond my expectation it dilate to 9cm....and the pain of coz is the greatest one this time......the pain push me like i wan to go toilet for big bussiness...nurse saw me so suffering ask me to put on the gas..it is call laughing gas, a way to reduce pain too....so i hold one the gas mask...before pain come i hav to suck n suck n suck the gas...at that time i already very very faint...eye can't open just concerntrate on the pain come and suck the gas.

8pm+ my gynea reach, i can listen n blur blur saw that nurse n gynea quickly put on the disposable clothes and a lot of paper n plastic on me...aft my leg put up to a holder..they started ask me to push, push n push....it really hav technique to push a baby out....the feel is like when u push a hard shit out....exactly the same...so the way of breathing also very important...take the a big breath in to push down without exhale out....once i stop half way to rest for breath the baby head will go in n out...one short of breath hav to push hard down....so aft a few round of baby head in n out coz i dunno how to breath....i used my last full strength n energy to push...else doc will help using vacuum..half faint half pain...i try my best to push the last time...with Brandon help beside to ask for push all the way and many of pushing help beside finally baby is out naturally...


The moment baby out..i was like totally release n very very tired, no pain anymore...although i know doc is stitching back the episiotomy cut....i heard baby cry and nurse put the baby on my chest...i was so touch n i kissed my baby...seeing him very cute...

Brandon n my mum was all the time there when baby is out and they keep on looking at the baby n feel joyous about his arrival....before they bring him out the ward..you know what, he already opened his eye to look around and play saliva there...

After doc finish taking the cord blood and stitching, nurses started to clean me and put me in the patient room...everything finish at 10.30pm...everybody also tired...Brandon n mum back home aft that...

nurse wanted me to put him on breastfeed, but i just couldn't sit up so i just ask them to feed him powder, the next morning only breastfeed him...

21th May - family member of both were came for visiting, so during daytime not really hav a good rest also....once i wan to rest baby is time to feed...

22th May - A nurse invite me to watch a breastfeeding video and also teach me how to put on baby to breastfeed, hav gain some info there. Discharge at noon. Delivery cost RM3780+ and my confinement period started now...will share more later.

My dream of baby furniture

Since I have this little one, I plan to give him Snoopy® as his baby item. I was searching thru the net about Snoopy baby bedding set...since in Malaysia we doesn't have this kind of Peanuts series things...not even can find in World of Cartoon outlet. In fact, baby Winnie the Pooh® and Disney® baby character stuffs are a lot, but that also not in full set..aiyah, too bad...but i really so love to have it...

Thank God that even couldn't buy it, I able to get a second hand Snoopy's bumper from Michelle and some Snoopy clothes from cousins...been told that those item are normally from HK or UK...Agnes told me in Singapore are famous with all sort of this cartoon baby things, I believe there might have...

Pls tell me where else can find in KL, if u know? I so love it! The pic below found from baby bedding shopping site. This set cost $180.99 after discount (excluding shipping fees), of coz it is not in RM! and also it not ship to Asia.

Congratulation to my cousin bro James Liong and Julia Wee, they finally tied the knot..attended their church wedding last Saturday...

Storing of stem cell

Met the consultant to talk about cord blood collection. After another round of explaination to Brandon, we get clearer about the benefit of the blood, the policy and agreement and payment. We finally sign up with StemLife and receive the blood collection kit. We also received 1 year waive annual fee, meaning that baby age 2 onwards only needs to pay RM250 per year.

Addition point which I dunno was after the blood being process, if the blood contain of bacteria and the quantity of stem cell collected below par, we will get the money back in full…Besides that, I’ve been told that I need to call to inform the sales rep upon my admission to hospital and 2nd call to inform when dilate 7cm, so that the lab assistant are ready to b there to send my blood back to the stem cell lab.

From my own point of view, to me this collection is very costly for first payment (RM2500), but for long term it is very worth to keep. After many days and many points of consideration, we only take it…if financially really cause us problem then we may take the idea off. Anyway I’m so happy to hav it now, as I know the importance of the blood is far higher than u having a high insured life/medical policy. Insurance policy may only cover the cost u spend for illnesses, and (touch wood!) it may not save ur life if it is a critical illness, but this blood is save life. Scientist hav proven that there are many kind of uncured illness can save by stem cells. Currently heart disease and spinal cord injury are the most popular used of stem cell to cure and the list is keep on adding.

Therefore I keep on advice my fren who pregnant to think twice on storing stem cell…life is too fragile now.

33rd week appointment

Just went to do check up….everything ok…baby aged 34th week plus…growing very fast, between 2 weeks time..he grow 1kg..now weighted 2.2kg (4 pounds 84 ounce)…I also grow 1kg..now weighted 59kg…the nurse started giving me infant milk powder sample.

Now we still considering which stem cell company we want to sign up to collect our baby cord blood. Will arrange consultant for face-to-face enquiry by this week hopefully…

Probably will go for another 2-3 times check up, then I think is time baby arrive!

Lately....

Share with you here my baby boy. This is the ultra scan print of his face feature during 31st week...this Thursday will go for check up again...my body n leg can now feel the heavy pressure...walk also a bit slow now...finger n leg are easy to get numbness which coz by water retention...body more n more easy to get tired....lately have better sleep thru the night...baby very active moving...sometime may get some uneasy feel when he kick sideway..

my hospital bag are almost 90% ready...left the bottle need to sterlised...others than that bed are on the way to reach me end of the month, pillow and bolster haven't buy yet...think got to buy during this or next weekend. i was thinking, aft baby born might not hav much own sweet time to do things i like....sweet sleeping time may cut off 70%, every effort n concerntration will go to the baby...i was told brandon that when baby comes, we no more 2 ppl world la....

My mum will end her job by this weekend to help me during my confinement....those old folks so sad of her leaving...and miss her cooking too...before baby comes mum will take care of my mealing and some house things....my house still quite messy need to rearrange some furniture to accomodate my convenience of used, especially the bedroom. I schedule to stop work in next 2 weeks.

My office partition still haven't setup yet, now doing the painting n some touch up work...still very noisy and smelly (paint) outside....i think the worker will only do it aft outside work have done. Aft partition setup thats a lot to do also...like network linkage, streamyx setup, and the PDA n invoicing system also need to b upgrade....This Friday will hav a training section on the new system....hopefully the clerk here will handle well of the things...many thing have to start telling her what to do when i'm not around.

Progress during 31st week

Right now, outside was raining….and finally I’m blog in new office…yesterday we hav a smooth moving process and everything cover up late yesterday night….i’m not yet sitting at my own office, coz need to wait for those moved over partition to b set up like in old place, get back the network connection then only consider everything is complete, but majority are here now…temporary all of us using my FIL big office. Due to raining some outside renovation, installation and touch up work hav to b stop now n then. But no big deal, as long as office and inventory stock back in operation, others thing can b done little by little.

Was having my 31 weeks 1 day check up two day ago, early in the morning be his first patient of the day. This time I ask gynea about my numbness hand n leg. He said that is coz by water retention that happen to majority preg women. But I’m not serious that kind, coz just lil bit only. And today I read newspaper, it said try to reduce salt and drink water at night, it helps to reduce the water. May b yesterday shifting I’m moving a lot I found my palm n finger of both hand is slightly lil bit swollen (at first it only started at right hand).

Scanning time, baby everything is ok, can see clearly his face feature now and I got the scan print too (need to scan, later upload it). Aft I’m having that scan I keep on bring it in n out from my handbag and look at it…haha..the feeling really so sweet….eventhough is just black n white shadow scanning..i already so happy about it…when I miss him I will take it out and look again….haha…so the eagerness to see my baby is getting stronger n stronger. Baby now weight 1.2-1.3kg (about 2.64 pounds), I gain 1 kg within 2 weeks, still the same 80% I will deliver mid-May.

Cutie and I

Last Saturday was able to turn up the talk, but was 20 mins late. As I finish up work late and also jam at Cheras…so when I reached there, 1 topic have skip. There is a short presentation from StemLife cord blood bank. Aft the presentation I hav know more about the useful of cord blood to diseases. Cord blood is the cheapest n fastest way to get the highest capacity of blood cell. Anyway been asking many times to hubby, he still insist that is not a necessary…it required RM7,500 for 20 years of maintaining the blood in the bank (this hav include the registration fees and annual fees). 4 years ago, StemLife set up in Malaysia and collected 6,000 bags of blood and only a few been used up. Anyway, we dunno the importance until we really need them to safe life. There is a case in South Korea, a lady hav met an accident and couldn’t walk and lay on the bed for the past 20 years …aft many years of searching and waiting for the blood, which the ratio of matching is 1:20,000-40,000. Finally she found it and her sickness was being healed just in 3 weeks time.

Aft 20 mins break, with some light served refreshment, we start another topic of “Natural and Caesarian birth”. Again this topic was almost the same as the previous talk I attend, but this round is more in summarized and covered a few important points that not mention before this. But a lot of Q&A from audience, which is not related the topic. Aft filling up the talk evaluation form, that’s end of the talk.

Since Brandon work late and he not able to fetch me up. So I follow my fren to shop at KLCC and Mid Valley and walk a lot in the evening. Lately too in love in blue berry, went to Strudels bought a tart and cheese cake and yes both in blue-berry…though to share it with Brandon, but too bad he having some unusual uncomfortable to his body, so he is not having any of that, and this morning both are my breakfast…yummy!

Good that my upstair fella not making noise anymore…even they did shout scream and laugh loudly in the night, but they stop it aft 12am sharp…hopefully they know how to behave themselves la… Sunday, as usual went to church n back home…wow my mum said I fat already…aft not seeing me for 1 week. Yeah, especially the face..u know some of the dress can’t fit now…need bigger size…coz tummy getting bigger….expected 6 more weeks to pop. After church, check the baby stuff collected back from church fren and still hav some coming from my kind and generous church member.

Now, I wan to get ready my hospital bag as soon as I can. Have a check list, and only 30% of them are there…so I got to faster get them ready, as I can sense that my delivery will be getting more earlier than the expected...now I feel my placenta is getting lower, since baby head has turn and it always hitting my bladder. Yesterday afternoon, my left bottom stomach was swelling pain, I did nothing just lay on the bed to comfort it. Luckily nothing big deal…now ok already. Coming Wednesday will check up again, I’m so eager to ask gynea about baby situation and the most important the delivery date.

Month end office and warehouse will shift to another new warehouse, which own by FIL. This week he will b more busy to look aft the renovation and final touch up work. Hopefully we hav a smooth shifting on this weekend.

Uneducated neighbour

I nearly want to scold n shout to the 11th floor bastard thru my kitchen window facing up their bedroom window. I think those living in are some college student. Last night they really disturbing my sleep n even my baby also terkejut in the middle of night (coz he moving very much there). In the midnight of 1-3am, when we having the sweetest sleeping mode, they shout, scream, talk n laugh loudly and their walking step are like King Kong, can clearly hear the foot stepping sound. Not only that they also drag the table n chair and make out those scratching noise…really so terrible. This is not the first time, and also of coz they not having this behavior every night. Sometime they do it loud, sometime not, every fortnight they having different do. Last time I still ok and can stand with it, may be my mood swing aft pregnant, can’t take it anymore. Last night I really so mad and I think we cannot keep quiet about that. I want to shout to ask them to ‘diam lahh..’. I didn't do that as I dun wan them to recognize my look n later will do something on me. So I just go back to bed n try very hard to sleep.

Terribly, when I sleep, I dream twice on how to scold n warn them with letter, pasting horrible poster in front of their door, pasting notice at 11th floor lift button, inside lift and notice board by letting ppl know their behavior....wah this dream of action really so crazy man! …hai…really haunting me…of coz I’m not going to do that. Later I will write a letter to warn them, hopefully they will b considerate and co-operate.

29th week appointment

Went to check-up again. Be his last patient of the day. Ultra scan shows that the baby head has turn down. Features n parts everything can see clearly…healthy baby too.. wanted to print out his face features but this notty boy boy used his hand cover his mouth, not so nice to print. So got to wait next round…big eyes like Brandon and nose looks like me…small small lips…cute!

Doc said, 80% of times I might having 2 weeks early birth than the expected due. Now my check up appointment become 2 weeks once. My tummy was tremendously increasing n baby like kicking especially at night time, even I sleep early. I’m getting more n more easy to get tired n sleepy and now I can sleep as early as 9pm.

Now I’m thinking what name to put on him, many many have come across my mind. I will select a few to let FIL to choose.

There will b another pregnancy talk at Pantai Cheras on 25/3, is about before and aft preg nutrition, cord blood and I forget another topic..from 2-5pm. Might going for this talk too.

Looking forward for my 31st week appointment. Closer n closer now….

Give birth talk

Went to a talk conduct by MommyBaby mag panel doc Dr. Ng Kok Chong in Pantai Hospital, Pandan Indah. Went together with Ah Moon one of my fren who also preg 3 months+ now. Reach there a bit late and the talk already started. Upon registered roughly browse thru the name list written there, wow, only 3 ladies in mid 20s which included both of us. Others are early to mid 30s. Most of us are 1st time mother. From here we can see that nowadays women are getting late n late to have 1st child.

Dr. Ng’s talk covered quite detail about the labor process and what are the do n don’t before and during laboring. He also showed us live video the whole natural labor n cesarean section, which makes me so scary to look at it. I almost block my half eye to watch that. The purpose of it is to let us know how they done on natural and caesarean, and most important is to show us how the baby head position when the time it pass thru the virginal. Wow, the live video really nightmare to me. Especially the bloody section when the baby head come out n the part of cutting the cervix line. (mind fainted !~!) Watch also can feel the pain nia…

After 1 hour section end, we were served with light refreshment and also Dumex Mamil Gold counter are there to promote the milk powder for mummy.

2nd section talk conduct by the only Anaesthologist doc at that Pantai Hospital, Dr. Augustine Yew. Basically he let us know what are the way we can use for pain relief and when we should apply those methods provided. Next he describes to us how pain is labor pain. I almost mind fainted again…the statistic shows that, labor pain is above the pain u get from twist ankle, tooth ache and break bones. It almost reach 92% along the vertical pain scale, is the most pain. !!~!! aahh…how am I going to tahan the pain for 10-11 hours….I really can’t imagine now…he highly recommend the use of Epidural. He also told the audience husbands to be gentle to your wife when they are in labor pain. They may show u those faces or side that u never seen before. So, let them do the scold n punch. Anyway by that time the daddy also will b very stress.

Majority ladies will feel most pain for the 1st child and the following child will get lesser pain…now I realized why mother are so great again…remember last week Pastor do told me in Bible it said women got to be suffer more pain…

So summary, giving birth is PAIN ! PAIN ! PAIN and PAIN!!!!….Waaaaaaaa…

Bolt from the blue

3 months ago, Brandon SMS registered himself at VMag magazine (from Astro) as a reader to get latest info thru SMS. Out of his awareness and expection, no contest, no slogan, no competition, no SMS comfirmation, last week a marketing gal call him up and told that he won a 3 days 2 nights stay at Teluk Dalam Resort, Pangkor for 2 persons. We was puzzling and thought it was a fake surprise or prize or something need to pay in order to get it...since there is no free lunch under the sun. Consider this time lucky enough la..

So the gal ask him to collect it at the office. And before we actually meet her to collect, for safety we found out the office first to make sure it is a real thing. And yes, after we found out that it is VMag publication office and company name board written 'Astro'. So, yesterday we called again to inform that we are going to collect in the evening. And now, the voucher for staying is wit us now...and expired in May 31st...hai...of coz I'm not the next person who can go along...now till 31st May I got to stay on n take good care of d baby as he'll arrive soon.

Moms rock!

Have been browsing some blog written by mom, and surprisingly that many mothers are good at blog..and i read it..feel so 'tasty' la...read about their experience and learn from them too...here are the 2 blogs found..

Going to discover n learn more...

Hi Boy..

Another round of check aft a month. Thank God, my rash and pain at back was finally heal…especially the pain, I hav try to apply cream to cure it, but it couldn’t help, somemore my skin grow rashes aft apply..sensitive…well…can’t do anything, but to pray and pray and ask more ppl to pray..now it is heal…this pain can happen is because I did fall my right leg into the drain before, so I didn’t do anything about it as that time it not pain. So now it comes bothering me.

I did told gynea abt the pain, so he advised me to do exercise, by sitting down on the chair n twist left n right, to loose it, so that it won’t stretch up so much for the coming months…else it will b more painful…

Scanning time, all organs growing ok…counted got both hand, 5 fingers each..haha…thought ask gynea to print out the scan, but quite blur this time coz his position is facing sideway and it won’t look nice if scan plus the baby getting bigger n bigger....so I didn’t make it…

We hav decided to change the deliver place to Gleneagle Intan, KL…as he complain the in n out environment of Pantai Cheras is not that ideal. Heard my ex-colleague said at Pantai Bangsar have such nursery or so-called breastfeed room, just wan to check out the breast pump brand…not to watch how mummy feeding babies. So I try to check out at Cheras here. Too bad they dun hav one proper room to cater for breastfeed mom, that nevermind, the pump was in used all in separate patient room. So forget about it, got to survey outside lorrr..

Survey shop for baby things hav started weeks ago…looking at the feeding bottles, breast pump, sterilizer, baby playpan, bed, stroller, car seat, carrier, walker..n many more….need to start buying some of it…

As I said before, having baby is not easy…first of all, financially of the family hav to b stable…else can’t provide a good environment when he arrive….now I try to collect second hand used equipment from relatives…trying to cut down those expenses on equipment first….

Just check out about the stem cell blood collection…wow..it really costly…stem cell blood is known to b very precious n useful to cure disease like Parkinson, blood cancer, diabetes…etc…provided your blood type is match…normally if this cell not been collected, the doc will just throw away, right aft the baby is born. This cell not only can used by the children itself, the close family n relative also might get help from the blood to get rid of the disease n save life. The cell can keep for unlimited time. Currently though it is not so popular in used yet, in Malaysia there are 2 organisation which doing this collection, which is Crycord and Stem life. Read about the Crycord organization, which offer this service. Upon registration n sign up for collection RM2,500 n RM250 yearly renewal fee. So we still deciding wan to take this or not.

Roughly counted the spending throughout 10 months of pregnancy period..is roughly about RM3k plus. This include everything (if I’m not left out) Check-up, supplement, milk powder and maternity wear. I spend most on supplement….

I can’t wait to see my baby…every time doing ultra scanning is just another happiness time for me…..now he already start kicking n moving….sometimes when I sing n talk to him, he’ll move to respond like tat…aiyah..really so cute la…even when I sleep he also kicking there, I think he is trying to complain my sleeping style. When I change he stop kicking…haha…

Happy Valentine's day

Miss her n her baby girl…finally got to see her. So cute of Jane, like to smile n make funny faces. No shy at new environment at all.

Chor 8 – 5 Feb
Sunday as usual went to church, many member hav return back. Giv out some ang pao too. This year even my baby inside hav received a few. Really can feel their love bring to him. Lunch wit FIL and relative at KL then continue CNY visit to my God sis house. So glad finally can see my both cute nephew and niece. Definitely they grow up a lot and like to talk n sing now…looking at children grow up really so happy. Very tiring day, out the house from morning till evening. Didn’t hav any heavy dinner, back home rest early.

During tis CNY I hav heard lots of pregnancy n delivery stories from aunty and cousin sis. I tell u I can feel the pain now n it very scared also. Now I can realize how come being a mother is so scarifies and great. As we always said child is the blood n flesh of mum. Every though n move, mums will more realize and understand than daddy.

Yesterday, stay at home, as hav call the washing machine technician to repair the machine. Because of using softener, it cause my top load machine hav heavy black stain coming out n stick to the cloth when it wash. Really so terrible n troublesome every time aft the clothes washed n saw those stains. The technician told me that normally top load mac will having this problem. Gosh! My machine used for 1 year and with 4 bottles of softener, it cause that thick stains. He explain to me that is because we fill in the softener into the softener container since beginning of washing n yet softener only be used at the end of the washing, so when in the middle of washing, spinning and rinsing, the softener can be easily spin away and it goes stick to another layer of the tong inside. So when we used it for long it stick more n later it become stain. Believe me it is real thick stain and it takes 2 hours to clean the tong. So his advice was if u wan to use softener, DO NOT put softener into the container, put it in directly to the water when it come to last round of rinsing. It greatly reduce the softener being spin away n caused stain aft sometimes. He added that front load mac also having the same problem aft sometimes, but not as fast it happen to top load mac. Thru his experience, for front load machine brand Electrolux is good and for top load mac continental brand is good.

Today, everything back to normal…work, work work!..hav a nice work day to u…Holiday is over!!!

My first married CNY

Since last Friday, our office hav shut down and off for 1 week. Today Friday, as follow government working day, we hav start to work, but the traffic outside still in d holiday mood.

For myself, since start working, the mood for CNY not much b fulfilled, not because this year start I wan to giv out ang pao, the feel in my heart become more n more faded each year. CNY is not much of CNY, just wan to hav more rest and go for holiday. I think is the best. Recall back my most enjoyable time for CNY is during my childhood time…whereby firecracker is still allowed, nice dishes serve at home, and all peers’ cousins around, playing cards, of coz not forget those ang pao. Childhood CNY is sleepless and simply fun!

Summaries what I hav done on this hot hot CNY.

27-Jan
Final light cleaning at home and final shopping for those left-out CNY item. Pack up those CNY gift which we wan to send out to our relative and arrange the food at the dining table and watch TV.

28-Jan
Before noon, back to Seremban (his grandpa’s house), the traffic went slow beginning from Nilai. The initial plan was visit his aunty first before back to his grandpa there, but dunno what happen to him, he forget the place of his aunty. He tried to recall by rounding the Seremban town. We passed by major Seremban shopping malls, railway and bus terminal and many other shops and roads, he also can’t recall where is it about. I was a bit impatient and start to get angry, as the hot weather, stuck in jam and slow moving at the town. I suggested him to call up FIL and ask for direction, but he still keep on to find out. So at last spend 1 hour+ at the town, cannot find the place, he give up finally. Continue the journey, back to the highway and exit at the next highway exit point and back to his grandpa house at noon. We can’t wait to take the lunch first before my FIL and sis back. Very hungry.

Aft lunch was the most “torturing” moment. The day was very very hot and with only ceiling fan at the dining area and the speed is slow even turn to max. I really beh tahan, even stay under the fan also no cure. I keep on walking n fanning to cool down myself, as u know pregnant women was very easy to get hot. I dunno how to pass the other 4 hours+ there. So no eye see, I sit at the sofa without fan and sleep for 15 min. My neck n back all wet with sweat.

Finally the reunion dinner was start and aft we finish around 7pm+, giv ang pao to the small one and we leave the house and back to home sweet home around 8pm and brought home Mc.Donald’s set, I’m hungry again! Aft cold water bath and stomach full that’s what I call comfortable!

29-Jan – First day of CNY
Early morning back to FIL’s house visit, greet, served tea and giv ang pao to the sis. At noon back to my uncle house to visit each other. One year didn’t see my father’s side nephews, niece and cousins after married. Of coz many of them also first time seeing me after married. The feeling of missing so deep….very happy to see everyone once again. Baby Jovan 7th months now…also first time seeing him and of coz the lady’s topics are not away from pregnancy n children. Wah…suddently feel very different now…everyone was so concern about what I’m having and taught me a lot in feeding baby. My niece Lyly was so cute enough, coz she is the only girl among the nephews, she got no girl to play with during family gathering..all boys only…she was so hope that I’m having a baby girl to be her younger sis. I can see her face a bit disappointed. When she try to touch my tummy…Ahh…sorry dearie…girl this one is a boy again…

Half way coz too pack, my family member go back first. Aft they went back I got a bit time to take a nap. Left Brandon with his mate about 10 of them playing mahjong, watching TV, drinking n eating. At night about 20 of us went to dinner n Lou Sang at Cheras.

So during this CNY week, sleep early n wake up late and also I’m not having good rest, cause my back ache and having some skin rashes at the back too. Dunno how now, the skin problem cannot b cure even I try to apply some cream recommend by pharmacist. But, luckily wit my aunty recommended ‘powerful’ liquid apply on it, it can see some recovering result. I haven’t seek my gynea advise. At this stage I can’t take any swollen, especially back ache, really ruin my day.

Today wake up early also, need to work, can’t really sleep….a bit head ache in the morning…tonight my secondary mate visiting. Especially Agnes, really miss her as our meeting day is keep on postponed. Coming weekend, my primary mate is planning to visit our teacher, hopefully I can go along coz also long time not seeing them.
