Travel Diary and stuff

Finally, a great examination!  Went in for the baby CTG scan today just to make sure everything is okay. Was guided by Debra to the first floor labour room for the scan. According to the nurse who did the scan, baby heart beat is good and strong! The sister also came in and said that my legs are swollen, gotta remember to keep them up at night.  After the CTG scan, we went up to see Doctor Maha. My blood pressure was okay also, and doctor manage to do the doppler scan and she said they're all okay! Baby also seem to have increased weight but not sure if it's because of how the doctor took the measurement. Amniotic fluid level was also fair.  We are happy with the results, went home feeling relieved and happy. 

Started moving my work stuff back home, hopefully can do some of the work from home but still feeling enormous guilt for not accompanying Steven to office, felt like as if I am leaving him to face all the problems all by himself.  Star Wars  Star Wars was released! Me and Daddy went to watch it, unfortunately something went wrong with the premier class hall, we ended up getting refund and watched the movie in a normal hall. Dad was disappointed with the movie, and yeah it does feel kinda draggy. But starting to think about how much our baby going to be sort of "Star Wars" related. Hubby decided he wants the baby name to be Chew Han Yang, earlier we both kinda decided on the Christian name Oliver, but ever since the Malay name got decided, I've been wanting to call the baby Han/Hans. To my sudden realisation, there is a character in Star Wars called Han Solo, and his sidekick is Chewbacca (aka Chewie). Come on... There's Han and there's Chew and there's ...

Our dearest baby, are you going to be a 2017 December baby or a 2018 January baby?  It has been very challenging, stressful ever since the accident and trying our best to resolve everything that is happening.  Physical Changes  Been hearing a lot about how women feel horrible about their body during and post pregnancy, I guess I got a real kick from it this week with lots of things happening to the body.  It has been getting more and more difficult to sleep on the side comfortably at night, and often find myself waking up in the middle of the night struggling to change position to make myself comfortable.  Acnes breaking out, have itch going on all over my body especially my sensitive areas, and my belly button has been acting out weirdly by discharging some brown fluid. Overall, making me feel like as if I am the most disgusting person on earth. It feels extremely horrible especially being in front of my hubby with certain parts of the skin...

We have been reading up the baby books and many seem to suggest that going on a babymoon to just enjoy some together time before the baby arrives is one of the must do things for first time parents.  Yes, I do feel a lot of anxiety daily thinking about how our quiet peaceful life and our let's just travel to anywhere we wish at anytime is all going to change once the baby comes. We are going to have a new member who will always be part of our plan, looking for baby friendly places/locations, safety becomes top priority, baby friendly restaurants, not to mention a third wheel sharing our room with us until god knows how old he's going to be.  We departed around 10am on Friday morning (13 October) head straight to Banjaran Hot Spring. Traffic was clear and smooth and we arrived by 1pm, but the room wasn't ready. We explored around the resort while waiting for the room to be ready. I really like the big helicopter looking fans that are placed around the resort. The...

16 November 2017  His phone rang at about 4am and he walked out the room to answer it, I knew instantly form every single cell in my body that something horrible has happened. I walked out the room looking at him, and he said there was an accident. The first thing came to my mind was, any casualties? He said no, I felt relieve. Little did I know, there was nothing to be relieved about. I checked my phone and saw the incoming messages of the images of the accidents, the whole truck slide off the highway and fell into the drain.  He was feeling worried, and said that he wanted to go and have a look at the accident site. I followed him, carried a big bottle of tupperware and famous amos cookies just to make sure we were both stocked up and prepared for anything. The drive up there was dark all along the highway, and as we approach the accident site, we saw blue and red emergency lights by the side of the road. We know, that's the accident site. It was so dark at that time ...

Fast forward, I have been pregnant for 30 weeks!  Purchased baby insurance - That was a pretty long story since I was so worried with my overweight issues and all I couldn't get the prenatal insurance but luckily all went well and baby is now insured! Did the glucose test, it was not easy at all! I got pricked like 3 times 2 hours apart each time and had to gulp down a cup of super sweet glucose water the second time. Luckily result came back okay, still have to take good care and maintain consistently.  Spent RM5700 for the baby cord blood collection thingy, I believe that is the most expensive purchase so far. Got it from the baby fair in Penang SPICE.  We kinda decided on the baby name, well Steven didn't quite like my dream baby name so we kinda decided on another name, which Michelle happens to love but Shuang doesn't seem to be a fan of it. As long as dad and mum loves it, who cares! Our beloved baby-O.  We went to Banjaran Hotspring and C...

I remember during my high school years, whenever I felt unhappy about something I would log into MiRC and rant to the world. Screaming, cursing, ranting to the the channels flooded with strangers about my frustrations and disappointments in life. Sometimes there are nice people who would console you, sometimes there are people who would just make fun of you and most of the time people just ignore you.  I was again feeling frustrated about life today, so I googled MIRC to see if it still exist in the internet world. Wow, it came up top and it was so easy to download. Took me less than 2 minutes to get it up and running, but it's no longer the same. The channels are empty, some channels that used to be flooded with hundreds of people now only has less than 10 people. The Penang channel only has 2 people in there, I guess nobody uses MIRC anymore these days.  How come people don't like to use MIRC anymore? It's a pretty simple idea, a platform for people to come tog...

21 May 2017  Decided to head back to Tambun to stay overnight with my mom and Angeline for a night. Saturday was feeling how I've been feeling for the past few weeks, no appetite, bloated and just extreme discomfort.  Was complaining to Steven how I'm pretty sure I have some horrible indigestion going on, the worst part was I believe it has to do with my current work load, because whenever I think about work, travelling by flight or anything to do with work, I feel sick, I feel nauseous. Making me so doubtful about all the expansion plans that we're going to start whether or not those are the right move.  I woke up Sunday wondering how come my dad could do so much without ever complaining or his body failing him, but I can't. Is there something wrong with me, so much less capable that him who is able to build the empire without ever complaining to us, where I'm spending so much time complaining to Steven about all my discomforts. How can m work actually...

Two years ago, I took up this role of a lifetime to become the boss of my current transport company. It was not plannned nor was a dream, it was an opportunity that presented itself and every single cell in my body told me it was the right thing to do. So I did.  In the beginning, I was advised by many seniors in the industry to not to take on this road. It's challenging and I'm too naive to think that I will be able to do it. To be honest, I knew nothing about the job or the industry before going in there, I didn't even think whether or not I was going to be able to do it. I just went for it, because I felt that it was something that me and my hubby should go for it.  Another reason slightly closer to my heart for pursuing this industry was that my father was a very successful man in the industry. He single handedly build his company from scratch to become one of the largest in Malaysia now. He sold off the company before he passed away as none of us would be able...

8 April 2017 - 11 April 2017 Just came back from China, can't believe it's been almost a year since I last updated the blog. I got to start updating more diligently. Hopefully once I get my tab, I will be able the blog from anywhere.. NAH.. I think I will just end up for  getting again.  I went back to China this time together with mom, 1ku and wife, 3ku, 2yi and uncle, Yee Wei, Chin Yee and Kar Hoei - Total 11 of us!  China was dirty and the noise pollution was crazy, I had such a hard time having to listen to all the honking and aunties gossiping, passing small little comments, and uncles trying to belittle me by talking down to me like I'm some kid. It's really extremely very annoying. On top of that the extremely unpleasant experience with Malaysia Airlines really got me reconsidering whether or not I would ever want to take Malaysia Airlines ever again, well technically it was Kar Hoei fault for being so late and of course also that the flight retimed. B...
