My second postpartum.

Image
 POV : You are on maternity leave with your second baby, but it also means you get another maternity leave with your firstborn. 🥹 "Mom can do wonders, you can do it" Day 1 (15 May) After fasting for 26 hours, it’s finally my turn for C-section in the middle of the night. According to the machine, I do have contractions going on, but maybe my pain threshold is high, so I hardly feel my contractions. (yikes) I still remember there’s a mini discomfort and pelvic expansion for the past 26 hours. Here’s my rating for childbirth pain: -contraction 0/10 -checking opening 0/10 -urinary catheter 0/10 -suture 0/10 -epidural 2/10 -placenta removal 2/10 -iv branula 1/10 (MO poor skill ft multiple try error) -post surgery pain 7/10 After surgery, I was escorted to the recovery hall for a good 2 hours to make sure the epidural effect is reducing and I’m able to move my toes. Once I reached my first class ward (HAHAH), my baby was already in the room waiting for me. She was tightly and com...

My second pregnancy.

Image
 It's the little things, the daily mess, That turns our lives into one big jest. So here’s a tip: laugh while you can— Every day’s a comedy, that’s the plan! Thank you to my husband, Nic. I still remember the first time we met. I thought you were pretty amazing then, but I had no idea. No matter where we go, I’m home with you. You have been steadfast, loving, and incredibly supportive, and you have been in it with me since the first keystroke. It’s you and me till the end! very the fairytale I KNOW.  If you have read my very previous blog entry, you will remember that I've mentioned about mr.husband Nic came back from China for a good one month (Aelfred's 2nd birthday). Well and behold, it was a fruitful visit for him because, for that visit, we are having a second child in my womb! HAHHA Children don't arrive when you plan for them- they come when your soul needs them most.  Your child didn't just change your life, they saved it. They were the transformation you...

Not now ≠ no

Image
 How many of you have something in your life right now that's taking longer than it should if God is big?  How many of you have something in your life right now that you feel like, "God must be telling me no" Well, He might. In the bible, King David wanted to build a temple for God. Who better to do it? He wrote all of the songs. Why not build the house that would house the songs he wrote for God? But he didn't get to do it. In fact, the prophet told him, "Go ahead. Do it, That sounds good," and God stopped the prophet in his tracks. The prophet had to pivot and turn back and say "David, I went home and prayed about it. I love you so much, you are amazing, incredible as a leader. I thought surely God would let you do it and God would say yes to you. To built a temple for God. Why wouldn't God get behind that? It's a good thing?! But the Lord didn't say "no". he said "not you." That's hard to hear. God says, "Not ...

How was dentistry in Malaysia?

Image
LIFE is a balance of holding on AND letting go. Hello, it is me. Summarizing how the dentistry course was for me. It's a total FIVE years course, in Malaysia. It cost RM350,000 plus-minus. Do I ever regret it? NOPE. Before I begin, disclaimer; I read one similar blog entry right before I joined DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery), and back then it was really helpful to get a glimpse of what a dentistry course is about. 1 million dollar question: WHY DDS? " I believe that through this profession, I can make a real difference, one smile at a time."   My university experiences thus far have been amazing. I have learned and experienced so many new things in such a short period, and it has gone by so fast.  YEAR 1 It was September intake 2014. I remember that I did try to attend the orientation week. You know, that moment you are supposed to get to know your classmates. But stepping into this new city, I thought I should not be too friendly. But little did I k...
