Fri  - 1st Aug. 

and i wish i can give birth naturally on 1st Aug! 

Yesterday 28th July, Mon. I had a sweet dream. 

I forgot what i dream about. but the feeling is very incredible. 

Basically i have 3 pregnancy (which is supposed to take place concurrently)...

The first pregnancy is ... i forgot...(basically i forgot the whole dream once I opened my eyes)

The second pregnancy is the one i am having now. 

The third pregnancy is..i have a new house?  

then...i Not sure what happen. but due to having all 3 pregnancy together, baby is bound to come out smoothly via vaginal birth. This keeps me excited! 

Night time routine.  Looking and playing and talking to my belly (to our second baby)

a lot of people said that I looks perfectly fine given that I almost give birth already. but actually it's quite painful whenever I have to bend down to pick up something from the floor given my increasing weight belly. 

Monday -  sending my dear daughter to school. She was sitting obeqiently at the backseat. 

THen this little cutie came forward when she realised that I was taking cute photos of her! 

Don't like to dine out/ go out

Nowadays. basically during the last 2 weeks before delivery...I really don like to go out. 

Doesn like the feeling of bumpy car ride 

Doesnt like to walk around with heavy belly 

Constantly searching for bathroom in a new environment... 

All in all, i feel that I am so ready. So ready to have contraction..but wait...i want to wait until the date turn August first.  See you baby in Aug! 

You will be showered with so much L.O.V.E 💘💘💘💘

This is the first time i feel that I ams o ready for something. So right now...i want to 

1. practise breathing technique

2. perineal message

3. squat

4. Eat healthily -to avoidputting on too much weight.

WOuld this be my last time updating my dear blog before giving birth?  

29th July 2025 - Week 37 +4 

I hate those people who is irresponsible. 

We have appointmen made earlier , if cannot make it, then reply la in the whatsapp, why lar always postpone only when I call. This is so irresponsible. LIke other people's time is not a time, is it?  

1. the so - called respected VIP 

2. the tenant who never pay for 4 months, and called, reply one msg and dissapear again. 

Ilearn how to be careful when scanning for tenant. but when i scan for the right tenant, i still cant guarantee that Igot the right tenant. because it's hard to say. the problem mostly arise after 4-6 months on punctual payment. 

Week 36 : Big transformation for me

 18th July - Fri , husband's birthday  - first day of week 36 

Happy birthday to Wei Sheng and my mother in law. I purposely bought 4 different cake because Iknow my dear daughter would love to blow the candle! hahaahah . 

Even for her upcoming birthday in Aug, i have already bought nice candle for her birthday cake blowing session! 

19th July - Sat -

1. Closing my final property deal before holiday. 

Surprising I still manage to try as usual for the 40 mins long journey. I am so wonderful! but then i was also completely drained at the end of the day for staying outdoor the whole day. 

But at week 36 day 2, i still feel that I am active and able to go anywhere i want. It was only few days later....on Tues...afer seeing doctor, when i feel the fake contraction, then I’ve grown to like the sense of being immobile because of the increasing belly weight. 

2. Going to Elmina 

As usual, every weekend, WS will go to Elmina to check out on the latest progress of the new house. and he will be frustrated when things get delay. 

Bringing the litte one to the new playground in our new house neighbourhood. 

Mon -  Going for pubic hair removal _ brazilian Wax 

This is my first time during Brazilian Wax on the pubic area.  Surprisingly, it was not as pain as I expected. It gets pain for a short few seconds the moment when the lady tear the tape. I was having cold sweat despite the aircond was a 22c.   but it was fine after few second. So if you wanna try brazilian wax before labour, It is safe and not as pain as what you expected. 

During my final days of pregnancy...I dont really fancy going out to eat. It feels so troublesome to get in and out of the car. also I like to stay immobile. and my home is a safe place for me, because I can go to bathroom whenever I want. 

And also for the bumpy car rides feel lately — especially when going over a hump or when the car brakes to  slow down or stop.  It’s really uncomfortable for my belly.

Tues-  22/7 - Probably the last prenatal appointmen before I give birth. 

I was so happy that day because my husband was with me all the time during prenatal checkup. 

Sonographer said that my baby was around 2.7kg ady!

First time of having first fake contraction?  

Dinner cook at home

Wed 23/7 - Went to Sunway Medical Center with my parents 

Wed -23/7 - my 36 weeks belly - quite huge (and heavy)

In summary, week 36 marks the huge transformation for my body. 

At 36 weeks and 2 days, I still felt energetic and could move around freely as I pleased.

But just a few days later — on Tuesday, after seeing the doctor — I started experiencing false contractions. That’s when I began to appreciate the stillness and found comfort in staying immobile, as the growing weight of my belly made movement more difficult.

then as time tickles, my belly is growing heavier. 

 bumpy car rides is uncomfortable for my belly— especially when going over a hump or when the car brakes to  slow down or stop.  

In short week 36 is a turning point where i turned from 

ACTIVE ➤➤➤ STILL 

It's not comfortable to experience with. But I glad that i get to experience it because it shows that my baby (foetus) is growing healthily and putting on weight as usual. Also, I don get to experience this during my first pregnancy because I have given birth at week 35. So i am glad that I get to grow my belly up to...perhaps week 38?  

Oh yea, and from day 2 onwards. I can feel the strength of my baby kicking or punching in my belly even when I was walking. Previously i only felt those movement when i sit still.  or when I stand still. 

Week 36 : ❤️the great things that happen to me recently

 Actually I  am quite grateful for all the great things that happen on me each and everyday. But recently. these 2 were my top 2 highlight. 

1. My dad has considered fully recovered from Cancer! 我希望他老人家可以健健康康，开开心心的长命百岁， 而不是生病的长命百岁。 

2. For top 2 great news No. 2...I don't think most of you can relate to it.  

Some context before I tell the good news. 

This is YBAM KL & SEL State Liason Committee Official Instagram

Basically , it means the official account of a buddhist organisation in Malaysia. I am the one who created the instagram account for YBAM KL. And Too bad, i forget the password already. 

Hence, it is difficult to pass the instagram account to the next successor for social media managing. 

Normally for instagram account, if we forget password, then we can click 'Forget Password" to reset a new one. but the instagram account which tie to my phone didnt receive any notification to reset password. So that's how the challenge begin. 

so just when I thought the chance to retrieve the password is not working. Every cloud has a silver lining. Turned out. Zhi Wah...  after cracking his brain.... on countless different way. They manage to find the password finally! 

This is such a great news for me! 

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

On top of that, there's always something that keep me happy everyday.  

I am always filled with joy whenever i feel the punches, kicks, flutter of my dear baby in the belly. It keeps my heart full and reminds me to be more disipline, dont get distract and focus on what am Idoing. 

Because i want to be a good role model to my children. 

So bearing 2nd child really give me a new definition of life. LIke...my life suddenly is so meaningful. 

Week 34 of Pregnancy

 Week 33  

Slowly packing for hospital bag. Went to buy the first ever set of clothes for my baby boy. THis would be his clothes when discharge from hospital.  

Just because i am now in my third trimester, i am still working. Including maintenance during the weekend. 

Take out all the new born related stuff from storage space.  THings like new born clothes, breast pump set,  breast milk bag are all taken out. 

On TUes..i think..

My hair is too long. and it's very hot for me, I cant tolerate it anymore. I went to get a haircut from belwo shoulder length to the length below (slightly same level with shoulder). I think it more than 3 inch cut. 

Today , it is midnight 2.26am 

As I am writing to archive this lovely space here. I am feeling tired. but not sleepy. 

I guess because i have drunk milk tea in the evening, that cause me able to sleep for long duration despite of the sleepiness. 

Also , i feel irregular mild sharp pain at my pelvic bone. Curious, I woke up to google the reason why. 

Here's why 

========== ❤❤❤❤❤ ==========

Yes, it can be normal for a pregnant woman to feel pain or pressure near the tips of the pelvic bone when the fetus shifts position, especially in the third trimester. Here's why:

💡 Possible Reasons for Pelvic Bone Pain:

1. Fetal Pressure: When the baby moves into a certain position (especially head-down or "engaged" in late pregnancy), the head or limbs can press against the pelvic bones.

Engagement Pain: As the baby "drops" lower into the pelvis (lightening), the pressure on bones, muscles, and nerves increases.

Nerve Compression: Sometimes, a baby’s position can press on nearby nerves (e.g., the sciatic nerve), leading to sharp or radiating pain.

✅ When it's usually normal:

• Pain is brief, position-dependent, and goes away with movement or rest.

• It feels like a deep ache or sharp jab, especially when baby moves or kicks low.

❗When to seek medical attention:

• Severe or constant pain.

• Bleeding, unusual discharge, or contractions.

• Pain with fever or burning sensation when urinating.

========== ❤❤❤❤❤ ==========

QUESTION 2  : is it normal that sometimes the belly hard like egg shell during the third trimester?

es, it’s very normal for your belly to feel hard like an eggshell at times during the third trimester — especially as you get closer to your due date. This is usually caused by:

---

✅ 1. Braxton Hicks Contractions (“Practice Contractions”)

• What they feel like: Your belly suddenly becomes very firm or tight, then relaxes after a while.

• Common in 3rd trimester (sometimes even from 2nd).

• They are irregular, usually not painful, and go away with rest, hydration, or position change.

Signs it's Braxton Hicks:

Feature	Braxton Hicks
Duration	~30 seconds to 2 minutes
Pattern	Irregular, doesn’t get stronger over time
Pain level	Mild or just uncomfortable
Trigger	Often after activity, full bladder, dehydration
Relief	Better with rest, water, or changing position

❗When to Be Concerned:

You should contact your doctor or midwife if the hard belly comes with:

• Regular, painful contractions (could be early labor).

• Severe pain, especially if it's sudden.

• Bleeding or fluid leaking.

• Decreased fetal movement.

• Fever, dizziness, or unusual symptoms.

---

💡 Tips to Ease Discomfort:

• Drink plenty of water (dehydration triggers Braxton Hicks).

• Change positions — lie down if standing, or walk if lying.

• Take slow, deep breaths.

• Try a warm shower to relax your belly muscles.

---

In summary:
A hard belly like an “eggshell” now and then is normal and often just Braxton Hicks or baby pressing out. But if it’s painful, regular, or feels off, it’s always okay to call your healthcare provider to be sure.

then at 2.40am . my husband came out to chase me to sleep. Goodbye. i am sleepy..and sleeping and feeling slightly uncomfortable...belly hard like egg shell 

May 2025_ pregnant Week 25- 29

 Week 29  

31st May 2025 ---last day of May. 

At week 29 of pregnancy, I skipped my lunch today. 

It was a bad idea, a very terribly bad idea. I was starving. 

Keep looking for food in my kitchen. 

I am gratefuly to have drink this. Chocolate cadbry drink given by my student. As I was sipping on the chocolate. My heart is so full! <3  

As a teacher, i always try to behave like a teacher, demure, elegant. but sometimes, I just cant hide it anymore when i am hungry, hahahaha 

I guess that's why my student gifted me food. Everything is about the food. and Iam so grateful and cant stop feeling amusing..thinking that i must have acting so straving in front of my students😄😄😄😄

31st May 2025 ---last day of May. 

It's a refreshing morning  with little crowded in this historical part of Kuala Lumpur. It reminds me how I once love to explore around the city. To be able to wandering around, lobserving everything around me. 

Iwas on the way to my viewing appointment. I wish that i can spend more morning exploring the city of Kuala Lumpur. the old part of KL like petaling street, chow kit. etc. 

Til then KL, i hope i will be able to explore you again. You are so nuanced with everything. 

My aunty has just completed a spine surgery. She is recuprerating at our home. She couldn't bend her body due to the surgery. As a result, that's maggot. A lot of maggot in the kitchen. and this morning  I saw 2 cockroaches in the kitchen!

I feel so pity for my aunty, we were all busy working until we only realise it now.  So my brother and me quickly  clean up. and planning to arrange for cleaner to clean up the kitchen so that she can have a clean, hygience kitchen that is free from any contamination. 

A plate of heartful wantan noodle! I am not really a wantan noodle lover, but this is a must try! It was in Desa Petaling. opening during the night time only. Come early so that you can still have a choice of siew yuk (BBQ pork) and chicken. 

My 二宝 and me made a donation to Fo Guang Vegetarian shop. Iam so proud of you, my er bao. You have done so much even before you arrive at the world!  

The beginning of May is the month of potty training for my eldest daughter.  She has shown progress in that although not very consistent 

As usual, my husband is still the 女儿奴 as usual. 

Recently trying to potty training my daughter. We both got so happy when she manage to pee in the mini WC! 

Happy mother's day to me! 11st May 2025

A group photo with the 2 main speakers of the day. 黄先炳博士who is very wise and 刘进儿老师who is very hands on with variety of activities 

Also, would not want to forget the organiser. 董伦坤居士from Setapak Buddhist Association.  A highly professional CEO? (not sure) yet a  humble figure who just 默默的付出， 确保每个细节都办好。He didnt even introduce himself to the rest of us (participant) It's a weekend Saturday and he can choose to spend time with family and what not.
