My Precious Life

 Keith has been moody for the past two days. He refuse to let the maid touch him for the past two days when I am around, especially early in the morning when we are getting ready to go out. He wants me to brush his teeth, bath him and change him. He even wants me to sit with him while he has his breakfast.Hai….. I think he can sense that baby is on the way and will be here anytime. Next week onwards, I’ll be on MC. My gynae advice me to take MC and rest at home since my due date is near. I can spend more time with Keith as well and bring him go shopping. He just love to go shopping with me.Hehe…I don’t know why I am always in the mood for shopping. I’ve told hubby about it and kinda worried to go shopping coz’ everytime I’ll end up buying something. Hubby didn’t stop me from going shopping but instead encourage me to go.Haha… Two more days of working and I am off till I finish confinement. I might not update my blog until I finished my confinement leaves.

 Finally, two days ago, my new maid arrived. She looks ok and seems to understand whatever I ask her to do. Not like most of the maids which I had earlier. Forever Blur…. Keith was so excited with his new “kakak”. Everything also wants his “kakak” to do for him. He knows the “kakak” is here to pamper him. “Kakak” will carry him and play with him. Not like mummy forever nagging at  him.Haha…..

 My stress has cut down into half I guess, but still have to scream at him coz’ he’s just so stubborn and naughty. Last nite, Keith got up a few times and the first person he looked for was not “ME” but his “KAKAK”. I was kinda upset though. It was like my “MUMMY” position has been snactched off. Maybe I was kinda sensitive due to my pregnancy. But, I still get my hugs and kisses in the morning.Hehe…I guess I was kinda used taking care of him for more than 1.5 months without a maid and now my maid has taken over my place. But at least I know that my son is comfortable with his new “KAKAK” and she’s able to take care of him.

Last Sunday, I nearly fell in the washroom. As I was about to turn and flush the toilet bowl, I slipped and did a split.Hehe….I’ve no experience of being a ballerina before. Luckily, I was able to grab the toilet bowl and slowly pull myself up. I can’t imagine myself sitting on the floor. If it really happens, I am going to be in deep trouble. No one is upstairs. My son and cousin ( who has a memory of a 6 year old child) was downstairs. My dad went out and my aunt went back for awhile. I might have to drag myself to the door and then drag myself all the way to my room to call for an ambulance. It was kinda scarry when I thought of it…..I really need to get the toilet scrubbed properly when my new maid is here.

 By the way, she’s already in KL and did her medical check up yesterday. Now, we only have to wait for the Fomema sticker before she could actually come to Kuching. Actually, she can come to Kuching even without the sticker but I do not want to take the risk. I want her to have a clean medical report as I do not trust the Indonesian agent.

 Hubby will be here tomorrow nite. I just can’t wait to give him a tight hug and a kiss. It’s been more than a month since Keith and I saw him. Keith is also edgar to meet his Papa. He’s been asking me everyday, “Where is Papa?” and will always fight with me to talk to hubby on the handphone. Hubby will be here for a few days only. He’ll be going back on Sunday. My gynae did told that  the best time for hubby to be in Kuching is 28th of April onwards. That’s the rough estimation of my due. Hope so he’ll be around when I deliver baby Charlotte.

 Two more weeks to go for hubby to be here..Hai……………..By the time it’s already a month Keith and I didn’t see hubby. How I wish Kuching is not that far from Taiping. Poor hubby, alone in the house and have to sleep alone also. At least, April hubby will be here twice (I hope)….Hoping for Charlotte to come out earlier…

 My new maid will arrive KL on Wednesday and I do hope she’ll be able to come with hubby to Kuching. I am getting more and more tired these days. I don’t think I can cope up in taking care of Keith anymore. It is so stressful. Morning, I need to get up early to bath, prepare Keith’s breakfast and then get change for work. When Keith’s awake, I need to bath him and then get him dress up for school. After that, my dad will send him to school and he’ll have his breakfast there. If he gets up early, he’ll be having breakfast at home first before going to school. His school starts at 8.30am and I have to send him by 7.45am coz’ my office is about half and hour drive from my house. Dad has become our daily chauffeur as I do not want to take the risk of driving at this stage and the office is so far away. I start work at 8.15am. and finish at about 5p.m. By the time I reach home, it’s about 5.40p.m. I have to go back and bath Keith and also myself coz’ dinner is at 6p.m. at home…..Everyday, rush..rush…rush..What to do? No maid to help me out.

 Basically, we’ll have about an hour or two to watch tv and off we go to bed. Need to be in bed by 9.30p.m. so that Keith will be able to get  up without getting grumpy……My dad and aunty will be my babysitter in the afternoon once Keith finished his class at about 11a.m.  I can’t depend much on them as both are elderly. I just hope that  he doesn’t do nonsenses and drive them both up the wall..

 Last week Tuesday, I had a premature labour scare. I was having contractions for about 1.5 hours from 4pm to 5.30p.m. After that, for the next few days, I had mild contractions on and off. I even felt like pushing and soreness on the vaginal area.

 On Saturday, when I went for my check up, my gynae actually told me that  it was signs of premature labour. My tummy was kinda hard as well when she touched it. The first thing she asked me was “Am I too stress at work”. I was not even stress at all at work. The only person that constantly makes me scream and shout at is “KEITH”. He’s the one giving me a lot of stress at home. I just don’t know why is he getting from bad to worse eversince we came back to Kuching.

 The more you tell him not to do it, the more he’ll do it. He’s soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…………………………………..stubborn and just wouldn’t listen. I’ve tried rotan, pinches, smacking on the hands and bum and even silent treatment also useless. My dad also gave up with him and just don’t know what to do. He started all his nonsenses like showing people him bum or his “kkc”. I’ve tried to stop him many times but he just couldn’t be bothered. It is so embarassing when he does that to a stranger. Then he thinks it’s funny to call address people as ” Aunty Nen Nen”. He’ll be climbing like a monkey at home on the windows, chairs, tables, etc…He’s really driving me mad.

 My visit to my gynae was a painful one this time. I was given a mild steroid jab which was the most painful jab which I’ve ever had in my life so far. My face turned red while trying to stand the pain. The jab is actually to help the baby’s lungs to form faster incase if I do have a premature labour. Then, I was given ventinol to lessen the contractions. This medicine also never really help me much..Instead, it has a side effect of heart pulpitations and also make my hands to shiver. I have to take it 8 hourly for 3 times in a day for a week. The next week, twice in a day. This pregnancy really is a troublesome one…From a threaten abortions during the early stage and now premature labour threats….Hai……. Now I am just hoping my maid to arrive ASAP to lessen my stress. I just couldn’t stand it anymore and I actually broke down and cry after my visit to my gynae. My dad just  don’t know what to do to help me lessen my stress.

Chanel gaves me an idea to write a new post today…Hehe..TQ

 I was hoping for someone to guess the gender of my baby but it seems like no one was able to guess..Hehe…Well, I guess it’s time to reveal the secret which I’ve kept for awhile. It’s a GIRL….My sister and I like the name “CHARLOTTE CRUZ”. Hubby said it’ll be hard for some people to pronounce the name but I find the name to be unique. Any comments??

 Well, I am back in Kuching (my beloved hometown). I’ve requested from my boss to let me carry a laptop back to Kuching branch and work here until I give birth, which is end of April or early May. I’ve got no choice coz’ the airlines wouldn’t let me fly after 34 weeks. I am into my 33 weeks now. Working here is less stress than working in Taiping (HQ). I am more relax over here. Less gossips, less backstabbers, less “KPC”. The only stress that I have is my son Keith.

 I am maidless at the moment. I’ve sent back my maid of 7 mths to Indonesia. Cannot take it anymore with her. Even Keith hated her to the max.

1) Behind my back, she threw away Keith’s food to the chickens. She only feed him a few bites and when he ran off, she threw it. My SILs saw her doing it. She did the same to Keith’s milk. He had a few sips and then she wash off the tumbler when he burped. My sister’s maids told me and they even scolded her. When I asked her, she said he finished already.Due to all that, Keith was loosing weight and constantly hungry. Always ask for biscuits, cakes, etc. whenever I came back for lunch or during dinner.

2) She like to tell lies and make the family quarrel.

3)Like to stare from the corner of her eyes whenever you tell her off.

4) Like to do her way. You tell her to do this way, she’ll do that way like she’s the boss. Never like to listen.

5) Drama queen. Cry to my in laws so that they’ll feel pity for her. She even told my BIL and SIL that she cannot tahan working with me. I’ve never abuse her, gave her good food, buy her things and she said she cannot tahan working with me.

6) Once, she even dare to tell me that she wants to work with my BIL and SIL since we don’t like her. Who the hell she think she is? We are suppose to change her not she changing employer. She even dare to tell that  my BIL and SIL asked her to work with them. I called them and they said ‘No’. She’s the one always doing drama crying to them. What a B**** She don’t even know what she was doing half of the time. So many maids that met her always told me to send her back coz’ they are worried about my baby. They told me that she cannot take care of my baby and always dreaming and don’t even know what she was doing. They even worried that  she might drown, choke or drop my baby. She even told my MIL once that something came out of her body one day and she was OK already.

9) Once, she even go to my MIL house through our back door without locking it back and bring our house key along to open and lock back the back gate. When hubby went and told his mom that he’ll be leaving the maid with her while we go out for breakfast, the first thing MIL asked hubby was “Do you know where is your maid???” Hubby panicked and MIL told him that she went to her house already. She told my MIL that I am going to work (on SUNDAY) and that I chase her to MIL’s house. I got really pissed and told MIL that I only told that bloody maid that the alarm is off she can go out and hang the clothes and then go back to my room.

 Hubby just hate the side of her. I’ve never seen hubby that angry before till the extend that he almost whack the maid when he carried his hand once. When we send her off, she never even show that she repent for what she has done but instead told another maid that she’s happy to go back. We pity her coz’ she’s the only one working and feeding the whole family. But she just couldn’t be bothered at all whether she has the job or not. I gave her so many chances till I really give up. I am suppose to stay cool during my pregnancy but this maid really gets into my nerves. MIL and SIL was so worried about her wierdness, they went to the temple to ask about her. Apparently, she wore something around her waist and it is suppose to make people feel pity on her. Haha….it doesn’t work on both hubby and I. I guess with Keith’s speciality, he can sense and always trying to tell us in his way. He hated her and refuse to let her touch him. He always ask me to send her back to Indonesia. Well, I am having less headache now. I’d rather handle Keith myself than to let her handle him. So many people are worried about me being so heavily pregnant and still have to run after my son and do house chores on my own. Well, I don’t mind doing it and it’s a sort of exercise for me too.Hehe…..I am very hyper during this 2nd pregnancy. I can’t sit still and constantly wants to move about.Hehe….

 My new maid will be here by end of this month. Just in time for me to train her up with the baby stuffs and also Keith. Wish me luck everyone……..

Never thought I’ll be soooo busy with work and other stuffs till I’ve lost touch with blogging.Hehe…..

For the past few months, there are soooo many things that I wish to share with everyone. Hope I have the time to blog it all..

In December, Keith, Ruby, Audrey (my best friend) and I went for a cruise with the Rhapsody of the Sea (Royal Carribean). The ship sails from Singapore to Port Klang, Penang, Phuket and then back to Singapore again. Everyone said I am a little mad to go on a cruise while I am about 5 1/2 mths pregnant. It was a 6 days 5 nights cruise and we all enjoyed it. The service was great and we really hope to go on a cruise again. The kids and I didn’t experience any sea sick except for Audrey.Hehe…. They loved it when we were on a smaller ship which bring us to the shore. The ship was going up and down with the waves. We were so lucky that throughout our journey, it was not raining at all. Audrey told me that it was way better than the Star Cruise Virgo and this ship is really huge and it has 11 decks. I do hope I have the time to upload some pics. We celebrated Christmas onboard and the kids get to line up to collect their Christmas gift from Santa.After the cruise, we stayed back in Singapore for another few days to do some baby shopping. The only thing that I can actually make use from the previous baby was the sterilizer, bottle warmer, baby stroller, car seat and some baby clothes. The rest of it, I have to get new ones. (Hint..hint…Can anyone tell what’s the gender of my baby???)

 Anyway, in January, I went to Brunei to visit my sister. I was there for a few days and the children were so upset coz’ I had to leave so soon. I was 6 1/2 mths pregnant and was feeling kinda tired already. So, I didn’t want to take the risk of staying too long there. Brunei was a relaxing trip as it has been 2 years since I last visited my sister. We were always meeting up in Kuching (dad’s place)….hehe….So, I might as well go and visit her before I get stuck with baby no.2. Well, my nieces insisted that I spend Christmas this year in Brunei…Aiyaiyai…..Cannot escape this time so I have to promise them….They said they never spend enough time with Keith..hehe…..Well, that’s true…He’s the only boy in the family so far..Hehe….So, the girls just wanna have a little brother around…

 I went for my hypnobirthing classes during Deepavali holiday. It was a crash class as I’ve asked Whsoo (Wai Han) to crash it for me into 2 days. I got to know about hypnobirthing from  mybabybay forum. After my first experience with my son, I really don’t wish to go through the same labour pain all over again. Stories about hypnobirthing really facinated me. Which is why I opted to try out for my second baby.

 Whsoo experience it herself and even gave birth at home without any assistance. (Read more about her delivery here). I went for the classes which is about 6 hours a day with hubby. Hubby was kinda reluctant to go coz’ being man, always feeling bored. But, I manage to persuade him to go with me. I really learnt a lot from attending the classes. Things which I don’t even know was clear to me now. On the first day, hubby actually slept off for awhile. He wasn’t willing to watch all the videoclips on hypnobirthing where you can actually see the whole process of birthing. Hubby’s just too afraid of blood. But, he was kinda interested to know about being  in his mother’s womb.

On the second day, hubby was willing to watch the videos on hypnobirthing and also birthing in the water. I guess he has learnt a lot from the classes too. He used to be so worried of making love during my pregnancy and never wanted to touch me during my first pregnancy for the fear of hurting the baby.Hahaha….After going for the classes and knowing that love making will not harm the baby, he was willing to try it out this time.Hehe……

 I like the relaxing process especially. The short ones are not really helping me much. But I guess I just have to use the longer relaxing process during my birthing. The massage was really nice and whsoo actually taught hubby how to do it…I do hope hubby will be able to make in for this birthing coz’ I really wanted him to experience it with me……Wish me luck everyone in my hypnobirthing….

Which age would I like to go back to..??

I wish to go back to May 2000 when my mom was still alive. I had the chance to go back to visit her for two days during my semester break but decided not to go back at that time…I was only trying to save my parents money for not going back as the air ticket was expensive and it was only two days. I did called and spoke to her on the phone the day before she passed away. She sounded better compare to earlier, which gives me a relief and that she was getting better. I really regretted all these years for not going back to see my mom for the last time…..

So, dear friends, when would you like to go back to…?
