Today's the Day

8 November 2008, 0530 hrs

I'm in my 39th week of pregnancy. For the past week, I had been eagerly anticipating baby's arrival. This time, I really want to have a natural delivery so badly. My bag is all packed and every night, I would wish that my waterbag would break or I would experience contractions...but nothing happened.

On Thursday, I went to Thomson Medical Centre (TMC) to confirm baby's dimensions. Baby's head circumference is 35 cm and weight is 3.653 kg. Amir Hakim was born at 38 weeks; head circumference was 36 cm and weight was 3.5 kg. After having through C-section for the first delivery, i discussed with my gynae Dr Lawrence Ang and we decided to go for C-section directly.

I was sad that I am not able to deliver naturally but i've come to accept reality and my fate. What's more important is that baby's healthy. So, today's the day that baby will be born. Rizal and i will be reaching TMC at around 10 am and the operation is scheduled at around 1 pm.

Please pray for us and for the safe delivery of our little one.

Shanghai Bus Terminal

I'm having breakfast with my family and am watching this excellent documentary on discovery channel - Shanghai Bus Terminal. At first i was overwhelmed by the sheer no. of folks and families heading back home, some as far as a 24hr bus ride, to celebrate the lunar new year. Most of them are migrant workers whom have worked their butts off for the whole year to save up and spend quality time with beloved family members. Sadly, not all of these folks are literate, most don't even know how to buy a ticket in the first place. These migrant workers or the 'new' Shanghainese, total about 4 million in strength - that's about the whole population of Singapore! I see both the good and bad side of human characters in the show. BAD: A man was robbed on the way to the terminal. Scalpers taking advantage of the situation & selling tickets at 10 times their original prices. Migrant workers who were not paid by their employer only bus fare to go home! GOOD: A stranger helping
