It was finally the time to do major service for my 7-year-old beloved Proton Savvy who had indirectly contributed a lot to my bank accounts. As the service center has a lot of customers regardless whether it is weekdays or weekends, I made an appointment a month earlier. Then few days before the designated date, I did call them to reconfirm on my appointment. Who ever picked up the call (after multiple attempts) said YES on it. I came at 8am at their center and registered myself. The receptionist was masking astonished look that my car plate number was not in their record. However, she still put me on "appointment" list. Then, a malay lady who addressed herself as "NORMA" took over my case. I told her besides regular major service such as replacing engine oil, brake oil, spark plugs and filters, I did request them to check on brake pad, change wiper, and fix the car honk. She nodded her head and assured me that those service would take about two hours.  Once...

I have recently called an ex to ask whether he knew of any babysitter who also offer services during weekend. It happened to be my call had made him having delusion that I was still into him after about 10 years of breakup. Knowing that I am 8-month pregnant, he texted and urged me to send a picture of mine to him. I refused. But he insisted that he wanted to have a look on current me. So, I blocked his number. It is so disgusting. Acknowledge that he is also a father to a newborn and still ask for my pictures? I assumed that he can't get enough from his wife and wanted to commit in adultery literally? I wondered why was I with him on those two years? Luckily, dad was there to remind me to ditch that potentially turn into a parasite partner while I en route to further tertiary degree in peninsular. Of course, he was the one who came clean telling me that he was with me to get closer to my prettier elder sister. It is a blessing in disguise that the relationship ended. Ear...

My answer will usually be…neither one. I am already on 33th week with another 45 days more to wait for the baby’s coming. To visualize how long that is will be like seeing the figures in bank account increases twice. It is definitely a long way to go. Meanwhile, instead of focusing whether I should be nervous or excited on this matter. I actually have a long to-d0-list to be completed prior to Bree’s arrival. a)    I have yet able to find/ascertain that someone could take good care of me while I am in a month-long of confinement period. Husband has been worried that there would be any complication such as arthritis or other illness that might befall on me should there’s no good care of me towards that period. b)   A nanny that will be available to babysit our baby when I need to be back to work. Husband and I have very irregular working hour. It makes us difficult to find someone who is compatible with it. The search has been taking place for at least two...

For laymen or those have yet go through pregnancy, they would definitely say "wah, another one month to go". But, its not that fast. The exact remaining days will be 8 weeks x 7 days= 56 days which is equivalent to waiting for two times salary. So, its two months more... my tummy now really covers up my legs. I mean I can no longer see them...and by writing that here. It is hardly for me to get up from bed-need to turn laterally before I get up. In short, it seems like I dont have abdomen muscle. With the fast growing and bulging tummy, I also have limited choice of clothes. I spent more than 10 minutes than usual to try on my clothes whether I will still look hype and fashionable. At least, I still look presentable for my work. Since the first round husband and I spending money on baby's stuff..it almost amounted RM1k. Those items include a playpen, a baby stroller, disposable diapers, clothes and few petty things. That's even before Bree's arrival to world....
