My labour experience

The ever long awaited labour story. Summarized. Well, I try to.

18 May 2013

On this day, we, the husband and I, went to our new abode intending to clean it one last time before our furniture arrives. Aside from being a total bloated penguin, I could not bare to see the husband doing all the cleaning while I lean and supervise. Thus, I just helped with mopping our master bedroom. Assure you, that was all that I did (for our house).

Sidetrack: Earlier on, I just cleaned the toilet at my in-law's place. Of course, I was nagged at but I could not care much cause I guess the 'nesting' instinct is kicking in.

After cleaning, we head out to fetch FIL back from work. Upon reaching my in-law's place, I tried walking but felt my pelvic region so tight and that if I were to take another step, something might snap (or so I thought). No pain, nothing, just tightness.

I tried to hold my position for awhile but it was so awkward. Though at midnight, no one will be walking around and sorts but to have your spouse waiting for you to walk & let's be factual, how long are you gonna stand there and hold, right? So I took a step. And I felt water trickling down my legs and the "tightness" was gone. I used my fingers to check if it was blood & was assured that it was a clear fluid.

At this point of time, I wasn't in panic but the husband was. He knocked on my SIL's bedroom (who was asleep already by the way) and started asking her questions. I was given a bottle of air Zam Zam by FIL. The husband & SIL both seated in the living room talking about what to do next. SIL wasn't sure but she shared that her waterbag broke twice and only then she headed to the hospital. I wasn't in pain, let me remind you. We talked and listen to her labour experience & that's when I felt like I need to rush to the toilet.

Before I could remove my pants, water gushed out. Scary. My legs were shaking trying to adapt to what just happened. Finally calmed down, cleaned and changed. Told them what happened & I started to feel contractions streaming in irregularly. So instead of sitting down and talk, I was pacing about to ease the pain. That was finally when SIL said we should go to the hospital since I was already pacing and feeling contractions.

Okay, let me rest here for awhile on the labour experience.
Next entry shall be the continuance.
Love to keep you hanging. Muack muack.

Babymoon

What's babymoon?

Babymoon, most recently the term has come to be used to describe a vacation taken by a couple that is expecting a baby in order to allow the couple to enjoy a final trip together before the many sleepless nights that usually accompany a newborn baby.

Mister was so kind to grant my wish. I had wanted to go for a short vacation before the baby arrives & the house as well, you know, before we are all busy preparing for our next chapter. He surprised me with this idea of a cruise to Malacca/KL. Eventhough it is a short vacation of 2 nights, I am well contented. Looking at the brochure, excited gila! And 19th of this month, we're going for it. Heh. Quick look on the pictures attached to the brochure.

Procrastination

The act or habit of procrastinating, or putting off to a future time; delay; dilatoriness.
- directly extracted from ThinkExist.com

That's what I am doing now. Procrastination.
Need I remind you that the Prize Giving Day is this Friday.
And I am nearly to zero percent through with the presentation.
So yes, I am waiting for people to scream at me albeit it will never happen.

Photoshop is in Windows while the PowerPoint software is available in Mac.
This makes me so MALAS!
Promise to self that amongst the gazillion things that I need to do, I shall put this presentation at the highest peak of priority.

Now, should I continue with it or just turn in? Meanwhile, the husband is at work.
Take Care My Love!

i wanna dig a hole...

...and bury myself in it.

I went for a test which I failed.
Felt so so down that I cried while Hubby's on the other line (which is so not me!).
It was a pretty depressing and demoralizing moment.

But.
I insist on being strong and go through another try which is the final try.
Promised myself that 2 tries is all I am gonna take. So yeah.

And now, I shall lock myself up in the room making some noises while I weep quietly on my failure.

Happy 3rd!

Time passed so fast.
Been married for 3 months already
& our first raya together is on the way :)

My few coming Wednesdays...

I hope I am going somewhere with all these courses I am gonna sign up for.
One thing at a time & I vow to put it to practise.
I shall not waste the $$$ and the time and effort I have put in for all these.

Insya'allah, I'll get to where I dream of being.

I am too lazy to blog. Believe it?!
But I hope I could do it soon to jumpstart my blogging gear as I do not want to comeback just cause I am angry or sad and everything-not-nice. Soon soon...

Meanwhile I update about this week.
Monday
Went to choose our studio photos.

Tuesday
Marianah gave birth to her little angel! If only I had the power to burst her waterbag, I would have done it last Friday!

Thursday
Went over to Marianah's with Linda, Idah & Fadz. Which reminds me. I need a clearer picture of the baby-with-no-name yet! That tiny little thing!

Today
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse today with the husband (in bold!) & another couple, Idah & Fadzli.
I am so gonna eat french fries today! Thanks to someone who tempt me! Hurhur!

To Self: I have been off-diet for almost a month and that's not a good sign. Getting back on it this coming week. a MUST.

Kena summoned!

The lame excuse she gave me was Yat wanted to meet the Mister about some car stuff.
So, I headed down to Bishan to wait for them.

Tunggu punya tunggu dan lebih daripada 2 jam...
thinking that the Mister was visiting the toilet when suddenly he urged me to open the door.

The couple handed me this.
(Sorry Bie, I thought you were a part of this.)

Tell me. Will you obey the instruction given???

And it comes along with a note!

Psst! I reeeeaaaalllyyy hoped that the location bears in the box.
Otherwise...

Don't worry organizers. I didn't peek nor did I pretend to drop it. More like... being held hostage by the Mister to prevent myself from opening it! Nyiaahahhaha... So here I am... waiting...

FOR 27th FEBRUARY 2010!

Sunday

From Geylang to Suntec and it was about to be Marina next when the ankle struck me again.
Next time ok, love?

Thanks!

*insert picture here*

They did me a surprise with the lion cupcake.
So SWEET!

She needs to get over it

Seen her latest MSN nick?
Seen her latest blog entry?
Chatted with her recently?

It's all about her turning 21.
Have an eventful birthday, Plutonian!

I have something scheduled

At midnight, I scheduled something to be published in my blog.
Love the new scheduled entry system cause I can sleep and still wish her la. Hah!
Thoughtful or what! LOL!

Anyways, this weekend to McRitchie had to be put aside due to circumstances.
I intend to upload photos from my mobile but been too tired to do it as the cable is somewhere in the packed bags and I am too lazy to dig it out.

So when I move, I have like 1941094831 bags to take along.
Hopefully, it'll fit into that house.
Pretty much, I have to let my selfish thought to rest and still contemplating on where do I put my tatty bears.

Brother said I sound like a kid.
But I know I don't!
Cause those bears are precious ones.
So, I think I might just bring it to work and leave it in my lovely office.

Seriously. I am okay.
Just that it is too overwhelming that the tears can't stay in.
And here's my cue to just smile =)

Here's to you

Hope you have had a genuinely good birthday.

Love,
Ilah.

Work season

I have tonnes to update.
Work. Course. Life.
All have one thing in common. ME!
Hahahahahaha....

Pardon for me being hyperly inappropriate at this hour as I am bound to my bed with this laptop trying to feed these pile of information. I am trying my very best to force my set of eyes to just bare up till I update my work (at most!) and I doubt I can tahan. Well, here goes...
Remember the swine flu???


I was in tears having to wear the mask that has some kind of N95 number code thing...
What the hell do I care about the number cause they made me wear it for almost the WHOLE day!
Staying at that infirmary entertaining with the fever-ish students and some are even vomitting non-stop!
But no worries, with me around... swine flu won't attack cause afterall, I am HALAL. hahahaha...
Kk.. not funny. Where was I? Oh yes, the swine flu. Nobody from the school got it. Phew!
Now, for your eyes only... the brand new...


Hahahahaha! I am so amused!
Not sanitary pad ok! It's the mask provided for the sick students. Heh.
The sanitary pad editted, if you must know.
So enough of fun.
Once that was over... here comes the tonnes of work waiting for me to vacuum off the dust.

And within a week... I am almost done!
So proud of myself. *smirks*

And if I don't make any sense during this whole entry, I'll try to make an effort to edit the post.
But if I am lazy... as long as I can understand sudah...

It's the 11th!

Know what, it's the 11th.
Yesterday was Mother's Day. No celebration.
Just cause.
And today Monthsary. Celebrate?
Let's check my mood.

Anyways, been mugging with movies online together with the washing machine and along with the stove yesterday.
One thing that I am glad with is... I HAVE A STOVE Y'ALL!
Was freaking happy until I found out we need to buy the gas quite often.
2-3 days once, at least.
Mangkuk man!
It is not as if I cook a whole lot for twenty people to eat.
And we need to replace it that often! Ugh!!!

Okay, enough with the rambles.
Why does it smell like fart in here??!!
By the way, Miss Shawtits is busy and I am so in love with the Mister right now.
Cause he remembers and is entertaining to my sms ramblings this instant.
Yes I am THAT bored. lalalalalalala....
Please, keep me entertained.
Reason being... I am at home rotting.

a year ago

Thanks Mister :)

All about her

Her Wedding
19 April 2009

By the way, I miss all of you!!!

losing; it's personal

You know... there is a time for me to just be myself and let people tolerate me.
And there was a time I did just that and be open about it to some and they accepted me.
I've never asked why and how they managed to do just that.
Prolly my fault now that I am clueless of what might happen.

I can safely say I've changed over time and cut so many people from the past out of my life.
And apparently, some are hurt even by me not contacting them regularly.
I know it is/was my fault but I have a big ego. I won't admit. You should know that by now.
And things happens cause I led to it. Friggin yes if you don't believe in fate or coincidences at all.
So I guess it is my fault for every single thing that I've not done and ya.

Sometimes I am on MSN waiting for her to come on.
Sometimes I would stare at her number not knowing what to just say to her.
Sometimes her every SMS I would reply eventho' there isn't a need to.
Hey friends, have I ever done that to you?
No, I am not obsessed with her.

Cause I know her. She's the kind who hardly talk anything out to people.
And sometimes would refer her situation in third person.
Most of the time, everyone knows her for her intelligent brain and great grades.
But I know her. Well, at least, I knew her.

Cause when she finally came on MSN, I was away but my status busy.
She might have thought I am ignoring her or smth.
She's still mad. I know. For the day I didn't turn up.
And my last thought was, I'd try to make it up but apparently she's too hard for me right now.
After what... 9 years of friendship? Yea, I'm a loser.
Can't even keep her.

I've not been open to her or anyone for these past years... but only him.
I got dirt and yea... its accumulating and this time I won't wait in the MSN, won't reply the not needed SMS and let's have a pat.
We are friends. Just friends.
And I'll give you the smiles that I posed for many times... if you know what I mean.

I'll be seeing ya. Soon. Friend.

Fifty!
