Been feeling a bit down yesterday and today, and did not plan to do a post. Gladly, Agnes tagged me with this ... so I kinda got mood to share my stories now .. so here it goes ...
1. Was your first pregnancy planned?
Yeah, we deliberately planned for it. Did not want to get preggie during the first year of marriage as we wanted to make sure we are both financially and emotionally ready to welcome the love of our life.
2. Were you married at that time?
Yes, we were exactly one year into our marriage.
3. What were your reactions?
Reactions .. err ... well, we were planning for it ... so kinda expecting it too. My reactions were pretty "cool", did not jump up & down, etc. Hubby was like ..really ar ... first time try for it already "kena" ar .. wow!
4. Was abortion an option for you?
Nope, not at all. We were welcoming him with open arms :-)
5. How old were you?
I am one of those who had a baby in my late 30s. Something I would not recommend .. body aches all over now.
6. How did you find out you were pregnant?
My period is very very accurate each month. So when I missed it by a week, I knew it. Coincidentally, I was falling sick (mild fever), went to the doc and while he was prescribing the medication, I told him I "might" be pregnant. He tested for it and there was a very faint line. Too early to say, he says, but yes, I could be pregnant. A week later, I bought a test kit and yeah, confirmed preggie.
7. Who did you tell first?
Aiyoh, hubby lor .. cos I did the test at home mar .. since its our first time .. must show hubby how the test kit works also mar .. hehehe.
8. Did you want to find out the sex?
NO! We asked our gynae not to tell us. Until I was almost 7 months preggie, then he "accidentally" showed us the "bottom view" .. so we knew.
9. Due Date?
10 April 2007.
10. Did you have morning sickness?
Yes but just mild. Damn sleepy though during first trimester!
11. What did you crave?
Nothing in particular but loved hot & spicy food. Disliked cold and bland tasting food.
12. Who/What irritated you the most?
Hmm ... no one and nothing really. Overall a good pregnancy.
13. What was your first child sex?
A boy!
14. Did you wish you had the opposite sex of what you were getting?
Nope, both hubby and I wished for a boy. In fact, while planning for the baby, our cousin shared with us a book on how to increase the chances of conceiving a boy .. we followed 80% of it and tried out its recommendation. It works! It works!
15. How many pounds did you gain throughout your pregnancy?
This is a scary question! I had put on almost 20kg!!!! And I am still having that 20!!!!! Darn!!!!
16. Did you have a baby shower?
No lah. We only had a full moon lunch at a chinese restaurant. It served buffet dim sum ... loved it. We had about 20 tables.
17. Was it a surprise or did you know?
Of course I knew. I had to know to invite my own relatives and friends right?
18. Did you have any complications during your pregnancy?
Nope, none at all.
19. Where did you give birth?
Pantai Medical Centre, Bangsar.
20. How many hours were you in labour?
Err .. I really wonder when I started labour ... cos there was no pain no nothing. Just had a few spots on my undies ..and it was a day before the EDD, so midnight I went to hospital (after shower & washing my hair). Then nurse say, aiyah,nothing lah, maybe you go back. I told her my EDD tomorrow wor .. then she said ok lah, you "check in" now lah. Abt 5am, feel back & hips pain, then feel as if "down there" got pressure. Told nurse to check, aiyoh, 8cm dilated - so fast! Call doctor!
21. Who drove you to the hospital?
Hubby lor ... after his table-tennis game, we went back to shower and I wanted to wash my hair ..then take a slow romantic midnight drive to the hospital .. hehehe.
22. Who watched you give birth?
My gynae, 2 nurses, hubby and a bunch of trainees .. which I did not mind. I said, can, can, come in lah. Else how are they going to be good at their job next time right?
23. Was it natural or C-section?
Totally natural with only 2cm tear. (I practised hypnobirthing mar ..)
24. Did you take medicine to ease the pain?
Only the gas for the last hour before the doc arrived. Hypno-breathing helped a lot!
25. How much did your child weigh?
7.7 pounds .. I prefer the pound measurement ... hehehe.
26. When was your child actually born?
On EDD day itself. Cool eh? So accurate!
27. What did you name him/her?
Bryan. At that time, I was crazy over tennis and loved the Bryan Brothers! I still am! To name him Federer or Nadal would have been a bit over the top right?
28. How old is your first born today?
22 months.
Walau! Quite a long tag lah .. so tired typing! But fun also lar. Hope you enjoyed reading it. I wonder how many mommys out there heard about Hypnobirthing & tried practising it?

You've Been Tagged!
I feel so honoured that Jo decided to tag me again for another fun tag! That means I am in her mind all the time when she blogs ... hehehehe. Thanks again Jo for being my blog-peng-yu.
1. Have you ever been on TV?
Oh yes! In fact, was pretty famous then! Remember the good old time we hosted the SEA Games back in the late 80s ... well I was the official mascot! Well, I mean, I was inside the official mascot costume! Went all over the country and appeared in all the semi-finals and finals in most events. Most memorable was badminton & football finals. Was dancing with the late Sudirman on the stage during the closing ceremony! Interviewed by the press & TV media from all over Asia. Felt like a celebrity then!
2. Have you ever sung in public?
No lah, crazy meh .. wanna make others deaf is it .. no good lah right?
3. Have you ever dyed your hair blond?
You want my father to kick me out of the house? And now you want my husband to kick me out of the house????
4. Have you ever eaten frogs' legs?
Gosh! Cant miss this! Fantastic .. especially when cooked in porridge or stir-fried with ginger! But hubby does not like frog's or chicken feet, so I only get to enjoy this when my mom cooks at her home.
5. Have you ever received a present that you really hated?
Well, not really. Presents are given by people who love you. So all presents I treasured them very much.
6. Have you ever walked into a lamp post?
Nope, thankfully!
7. Have you ever cooked a meal by yourself for more than 15 people?
I have never cooked a decent meal even for myself ... what more for 15! But hope this will change when I get my new kitchen this year!
8. Have you ever fallen or stumbled in front of others?
Boy! Tell me about it! Many hundred moons ago, I fell into a large monsoon drain in front of all my colleagues while on our way to Hatyai. My foot swell immediately and turned as large as an elephants trunk .. no joke. I was on medical leave for 6 whole months! Now all is well of course but can feel it ache when it rains (fong sap I guess).
9. Have you ever done volunteer work?
Well, yes of course. We planned parties for the orphanage & visited the old folks home (while I was still single lah) and I am was then a regular blood donor (more than 10 times). Only thing I regret is not having the time to do so now.
I hardly tag anyone these days but maybe I should .. this time round! So dear friends, I would love to hear a bit more of you .. mind sharing?

"Seven Facts About You" Meme
I have read so many blogs with so many memes that I finally got one myself! Thanks to VG of Household Capers who was kind enough to allow me to have my few minutes of fame to shame myself to the whole wide world - hahahaha! But i enjoy it!
The rules of the meme are:-
(a) List the rules on your blog
(b) Share 7 facts about you on your blog
(c) Tag 7 other people at the end of your blog.
Since I am totally new to blogging, I am sure none of you know me well, so here's the 7 facts of myself.
1. I hate to be late even when I know others will definately be late!
2. I dislike last minute change of plans for whatever reason!
3. I love long straight hair but of course if one loves long straight hair, they are normally born without it .. so ...
4. I normally only try to make the same mistake once. If I do the wrong thing more than once, I would feel terrible and angry at myself or I would abandon the whole project!
5. I have limited patience. I can repeat the same thing once or twice to you (similar to no 4) but if you still dont get it, I will just shut up and you can feel the shiver in your spine!
6. I dont like spending unnecessarily so I tend to be a bit stingy. That includes clothes and shoes. Hmmm .. I also realise I am a bit more stingy with myself as compared to others (eg I am willing to spend to buy hubby/family/friends a nice gift but would never buy the same for myself).
7. I don't use make-up at all. The only time I use some make-up is for a dinner or an formal event we need to attend.
And now I am having a headache as to who I shall tag cos I already tagged those on my blogroll with my two other awards .. sigh! New blogger and limited friends is no fun eh?
