Hospital: Prince Court Medical Center (PCMC)

-
I was torn between Ampang Putri Specialist and PCMC for my first childbirth. I wanted a Selangorian baby but the fact that PCMC is a 5 star hospital is hard to ignore. It is not everyday you get to stay in an elegant hospital room with special attention from the nurses. So my baby will be a KLian after all.

My doctor is Dr Seri, a very friendly lady. The maternity department is on the 6th floor - I had my monthly pregnancy check up here.

I checked-in to PCMC at 11.30PM on 8th Oct 2011.

Sofa bed for papa bear, hospital bed for mama bear, trolley bed for baby bear... =p
The toilet & bathroom...

After giving birth to Baby Kimi, I slept the whole day due to the pain killer I took before labor. So the first day, I was not able to enjoy the hospital food. However, on the 2nd day, I ordered from the menu whatever my appetite desired - This was met with naggings from Mak and MIL. "Orang dalam pantang mana boleh makan benda-benda ni. Salmon gatal...!" Ooookay~ Confinement menu it is... (-_-)"

Salmon, mushroom soup, chocolate cake... Too bad I have to give the salmon to Dad...

Being a first time mom, it was very challenging to breastfeed. PCMC nurses were encouraging all moms to BF. They would show this nearly-disgusted expression if I told them "No BF today". To help me out, the hospital let me borrow Medela Symphony, a multi-user breast pump which saved me from a lot of pain.

Life saver!!

I was also required to attend 2 classes through out my stay here: Breastfeeding Class (no surprise there) & Physiotherapy Class.

Apart from the super duper labor pain, I had a wonderful stay here... *Thumbs up!*

Hello Second Baby!

Kimi will be 3 soon and guess what, he is also a newly-appointed big brother! This time around, Prince Court is not in the picture - being full-time students, we can only afford to attend Toowoomba Base Hospital, a government hospital so this will be a whole new experience for me, not to mention being in a whole different country! A little park in front of the hospital: I had my monthly checkup at USQ clinic with Dr. Kay Brumpton, who is amazing by the way. And towards my second trimester, I had monthly visits to the hospital to see the midwives. This is the waiting area at the Antenatal Clinic: And that's Kimi climbing over the door of the play gym. Adventurous...! Being Asian, and smallish (even for an asian), my baby was measuring a bit small than the average Aussie. The doctor was a bit concerned and had me do 3 ultrasounds. Back in Malaysia, ultrasounds were performed during every single monthly check-up, but here, they feel that 1 is good enough, unless

Book: Sushi for Beginners

Date: 24 December 2010 Author: Marian Keyes She is definitely one of my favourite authors ever. The first book from her that I read was Under the Duvet, and the second was The Other Side of The Story - both I borrowed from UTM's library. She writes about characters with real life issues and manage to make the situation light although it's actually a dark topic. At the end of the day, readers will learn about complicated issues without feeling depressed. She delivers the message and adds humor to it - just brilliant! Plus, I learned a few Irish words! Sushi for Beginners is about the lives of 3 different ladies, all facing depressions. Different characters have a different coping mechanism. Synopsis: Lisa, a beautiful, career oriented lady is the b*tch boss from hell. She'll do whatever it takes to be the best at what she does, even if it means having no friends and family. The thing that drives her over the wall was when she actually sacrificed her marriage to

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne Weekend Getaway! Date: 13 May 2011 It is not often you hear someone say, "I'm going to Australia just for the weekend". However, it actually happened to me, not intentionally, but accidentally... I booked my flight ticket (in August 2010 for the lowest fare possible!!) without double checking and ended up with only 2 full days to spend in Melbourne. To make the best of it, I pre-booked full day tours for both days... which left out any opportunity for Melbourne city sight-seeing - how sad! From LCCT, KLIA to Melbourne Airport, it took about 8 hours flight - which I can't sleep for most part of it!! - and the time difference is plus 2 hours from Malaysia. Date: 14 May 2011 Upon arrival...   Hi Mr Sean/Chin! We were greated by Ms Candy who showed us to our maxi taxi. The driver was Mr Sean/Chin (didn't quite get his name) who was from Cancun, China. He was friendly and energetic. He dropped us of at Punthill - The Stanton at St Kild
