Your Asian mom

Doing running alone at a fine evening could be quite a boring routine, so I decided to venture into this wall climbing activity that is available at Kompleks Likas. It is called as Sabah Indoor Climbing Centre, owned by ropeskills rigging if Im not mistaken. I consider the participation fee is expensive. It costs RM21 per person that includes member fees, climbing gears rental (shoes, chalks bag, harness) and  belay service. It could be a standard price, but torturing own body with those challenging physical activity at that price seem like a bit ridiculous. By saying they are challenging, it is almost true unless you are a lizard! This sport requires strength and agility from the fingers strength (and also the arms) , footwork and rope skills(I presume this is for professional). And also a smart brain with a strong heart. The goal is just to climb up until a climber can touch the plate number fixed at the top of certain wall. The wall has different types, shapes and colo...

I have been posting about pregnancy a lot these few days. It is mainly because I couldn't share this joy with my closed family yet, as husband and I decided to announce it during my birthday where Bree will able to pass through the first trimester. Just want to share the earlier symptoms that sort of convince me to run pregnancy test: 1. I could feel the boobs engorged differently. Previously, before the menses my breasts would have small lumps, but this time it appears to be larger like a saucer plate size and it won't subside even after few days. I reacted like a pregnant cat when husband touched it as it caused cruciating pain(sorry darling). Guess the lump is newly formed milk duct. 2. I could feel the tissue of the abs was tightened, but I still have those sluggish fat. The area below my breasts felt like get Voo-dooed by someone. 3. I have weird dreams- that I already give birth to a fair and chubby baby but she is not my husband's. It is either my colleague...

I assumed that Bree who is at the size of a grape seed will be well-protected by my internal layer fat or amniotic fluid. Therefore, I just went jogging at the pace of 6.50mins/km. I ran 2.03km. As I started the workout, was really scared on making steps. But in the end, I felt great when my heart pounding fast. I did experience cramps at abdominal areas and mild postural hypotension as I reached home. This morning, I woke up to severe cramps which was worse than last night. I thought I was going to have miscarriage that I wanted to cry and call my mom. Husband thought it was due to last night sex, so asked me to drink water. I did drink, and rest on bed for awhile. Amazingly, it worked. I guess Bree was just protesting me being too active. But again, I browsed through internet stating that abs cramps (and backache) is associated to stretching all ligaments and other supporting tissues to support the baby-making process. And, saw many pregnant women did run un...

Both of us were too excited that we were awake talking about it last night. And he asked whether the future child will carry his family surname, tell me not to do this and that, talking about my early pregnancy symptoms and etc. We also went to Saturday sunset mass and later dined out to sort of celebrate the forthcoming bundle of joy. I had my inaugural tummy massage by him and etc. I never thought the breaking news will actually bond us stronger than before. Love this so much. With his support, I believe the pregnancy period is going to be easy in coming 8-month.

Both husband and I tracked on the ovulation calender and it showed we had sex few days prior to my ovulation days. So, I presumed some of the resilent Y chromosome sperm were viable and inseminate my ovum. Meaning to say, I am carrying a baby-girl whom I will name her as BREE. A character at Desperate Housewives who is fair, good in baking and pleasant personality. So surprise with the thought as I thought I want her to be as active as I am.

The moment the panel clinic doctor said "Bingo" on my urine pregnancy test kit. I was like, "what do you mean"? It was double lines but the other one was not so clear to certify that Im totally pregnant. The first thought was should I just join the upcoming SUHAKAm relay run since I already paid the registration fee? Then, I was thinking when did it went wrong(we did play on my ovulation period, but they were withdrawal method), could it be husband released some pre-ejaculation sperms? After that, it crossed my mind how husband will accept the fact that Im pregnant, since he just laughed at his colleague that she is getting a baby born in snake year. More thoughts flocking in, that it had overrode the joy that Im supposed to have with the news. Other more important things to do after "confirming the test is not false positive" are to inform my employers(and colleagues) which are quite awkward, as well as deciding which health clinic is convenient for...

Recently I had a healthy debate with husband on a court case where a 53-year-old teacher corrupted RM7, 050 from poor pupils trust fund. He commited the case back in 2008 when he was the senior assistant students affairs at SK Pekan Tuaran. The case had angered many as he as a teacher, expected to bring wellness for children stole money from poor people. Myself had thought that if he allocate those money for them, those underprivilledged pupils may have a one or two days of proper nutritious meal, but he was being selfish to use those money to overfeed himself(regardless in whatever way). My husband told me the teacher (othman) should be forgiven as he only took a small amount of money comparing to those politicians who "sapu" Malaysians' money like nobody's business. "Perhaps he had personal problem that forced him to take the money. Some more he's just the minority case (in education field),". It is quite true that many must had involved in...

I am supposed to have my monthly period tomorrow, provided my ovum is not fertilised by one of husband's sperms. We have had active unprotected sex eversince we married, and by stating that the risk/chance to get pregnant is there. I am so afraid of having a baby at this young age as I reckon it will take away my peak moment of life. I just realised that I have so many uncompleted desires- to climb Mount Kinabalu, completed Kpop Dance, to be in underwater photography, to join 42Km marathon run, to go for advance level in rock climbing, canoeing, and wear cute dresses. And as I've forementioned about my budding career, having pregnancy complications like puking, big tummy in that line could be a lot inconvenient. Not forget to mention that the monthly checkup, which I don't have time to allocate for. I am a woman with appropriate level of estrogen or motherly instinct hormone, of course deep in my heart I would want to cuddle that bundle of joy and breastfeed him/her ...

Recently had an argument with husband on the way I treated my 7-year-old brother.  For husband who had seen me interacted with my brother for three months, he reckoned that I had over-pampered him. For an instance, during a dinner outside, I let my brother played tablet while we were waiting for the dishes to be served. Husband thought that it was rude to allow him playing that gadget, it seemed like Billy was not discipline enough to him. My judgment during that time, Billy was bored and can't converse with me as usual because my husband was around. It would be awkward for him to talk something non-sense as usual. When it came to eating part, Billy looked stressed for having to swallow lemon chicken which was too sweet and of poor quality. I offered other dish-the Japanese tofu, but he still can't take it. Then only I asked whether he wanted something else such as grilled chicken wings and etc. The scenario had pissed husband a bit, and he remarked that I pampered him fo...

As husband and I are going to commit in house laon that worth more than RM200k, all the spending freedom has to be limited to as little as possible. Therefore, car wash is one of the things that help in reducing expenditure. By saying that, it is not necessarily that its going to hurt my muscles or anything. I totally like to do so provided I have time for it. In fact, doing the washing myself gives full satisfaction as I wont be spotting at dirty spot that was undetected by most car wash workers that I'd frequented to. Some more, I just recalled that I accidentally bought car washing agents last few months. I was in low mood that time, as this street salesman was sweating n told me that he had been there since morning, so I just ended up paying RM80.for a waxing and silicon glosser... Below are the result: Before glosser is applied. And after spraying it for awhile, the surface remain the same... And the glosser has nice smell as well. I believe...

He is only 7-year-old this year, and getting to know his favorite sister has married to another guy set him back a little bit.    He will be quite appreciative whenever we have chance to meet each other.  And usually will come out with lots of questions revolving about baby.    Billy, that's his name, asked me when husband and I were going to subscribe kids cartoon channel. "When your daughter or son already reached 7-year-old, he or she will cry if there's no channel for kids,". There will be time where he will assume that I already  have a baby, and question me where I hide my child. And when I read a guidebook on "What to expect BEFORE you are expecting", he will give a glance at me, and said...."woooo..." then ignored me.   

My 5-year-old Proton Savvy car has finally need a fix on its both side front power window as I cant scroll it down at all.  For some, they are livable with the condition, as perhaps they are people who can't live with air-condition.  Turning on the aircond day and night could cost me a bomb as I have to spend RM38 per week on a daily basis of 18KM travelling journey. As I drive after completing my 2-4km run, it could be harmful for me to have the cold air blowing towards me, my mom assure me that kind of unnatural wind will make me sick afterward. In short, I am a natural wind lover.  Back to the title, as I just came back to Kota-Kinabalu for 3-month, I don't know anyone as good as Klang Valley's Renault car expert Mr.Ho, I decided to drop by Proton Service Center in Bundusan Square. As I came on weekday, there are not many customers, so I was entertained very soon.  The center diagnosed the stuck power window was due to damaged switch, so they repl...

My 20+ year old sister texted me about how much she wished our dad would vanish from the world to keep others living peace lives. I was not really surprise with what she told me because honestly there were few times I was thinking about it, too. We have been living 20 over years seeing him doing domestic violence on mom, destroying house property whenever he was upset over anything regardless it was related to mom or not. Mom was always treated as a tool for him to unlease his anger. Obviously, it is so unfair. There was also few times I wanted to lodge police report over his action, or even published in newspaper about his ugly truth. As in reality, he wears a mask as a loving husband and father. Now, as he is approaching his golden years, the wisdom seems to fade also. We don't get why he easily get upset over almost every decision we make, which he thinks without informing him earlier it shows our disrespect towards him. Worse, dad had terrible jealousy on mom...
