Unpleasant stay at TMC

selected to deliver at TMC after obtaining good feedback from friends. However, i have over-estimate it and have below unpleasant experiences :

Horrifying experience via C-section
My unpleasant journey starts after Doc have break my water bags and left laying in my own amniotic fluid for long hours. As i did not managed to dilate hence go into emergency C-section. I have opt for epidural however i can feel very single stretch and pull from the operation. What worst i can feel the pain and cried through out the operation.

Honestly, during my 1st C-section i dun feel a single things but DO NOT understand why this round i can feel the pull and pains. Was the dosage of epidural insufficient?

Inconsiderate Room Mate
Have selected to stay in 2 beded ward as hubby not going to stay over. So was sharing the room with this "Chinese" lady, think she simply do not understand English as she keep "playing" with the light buttons for the first and second nights. Then on the third night, to avoid light shining on her baby during breastfeeding, she 'ON' all light except her reading light. So the passage light keep shining into my bed. Also on the third day morning, she keep calling her husband repeatly in the morning to pick some medication for her cough then her husband keep calling her to ask any other thing she wants. Imagine i was awake by the phone ringing and their loud conservation .

Unpleasant experiences in the Hospital
In general all staffs are helpful and friendly except for the below :

1) Housekeeping maid
Every morning, the housekeeping maid will not knock or greet us while entering the room. She will just march into the room and head straight to the toilet to clean. Of course with alot of noise in the morning (7am) while we are still sleeping. Then she will come to our bed to do brief cleaning but there are still rubbish under the bed. So wonder what is she trying to clean.

2) Old Nurse
Was out of bed on the 3rd day. While trying to retreive some stuff from the wardrobe. There was this old nurse just force open the wardrobe door to make space for herself to squeeze in between me and the bed (If you have stay/visit TMC bed before, the gap was very narrow). As i can't stand up straight she just push me inward to the wardrode. At this point, I was screaming in pains then took a quick U-turn and repeat the step to get out the room. In the end i didn't even have a chance to stop her or know how she look like.

3) Workshop
Was looking forward to join in the Breastfeeding Workshop. However, on the actual day we were not told the workshop have been replaced by Music therapy. So disappointing.

4) Wrong Instruction
Doc have ordered binder for me so that it helps to relieve the pains. However, the nurse who put up the binder have placed it too near to my scar. End up i suffered more pain than relieve.

5) Messy Nursery and Rude Nurse
Went into nursery room to fetch Baby Renee. While the nurse was explaining the way to clean the baby and verifing baby's information then she just left the folder on the baby's stomach and bang the baby's trollies with babies in it.

While waiting for Baby Renee to finish her milk hence chat with the assistant nurse. Suddenly, there's this nurse from next table start telling me not to ask any more question or talk as she can't concentrate. Then I tell her that i'm not talking to her. But she just repeated herself then ask me why i'm inside the nursery room and this is my baby. Of course, i'm waiting for my baby else who i'm waiting for. Besides, i tell her off that if no one should be in the nursery then why other nurse ask me to wait inside the nursery. Besides, if no talking is allow in the nursery where is the sign board??

One word "RUDE" if can't work in nursery due to constant crying from babies then move to another department.

6) Wrong invoice
Couple of days after discharge, get hubby to show me the invoice then realised they have invoice me the wrong package. Hence have to go back to the hospital to get refund.
Waste time.

7) No Medication
No Medication(Pain killer) was given to me upon discharged. End up just take the painkillers at home.

Based on these events, think the hospital is shortage of staffs and lack in communication. Honestly, i will not go back or recommend this hospital.

Counting Down

Counting down for two BIG events :

1) Ian's Primary 1 Enrollment
Ian going to turn 7 years old next year and need to enrol him to Primary 1 this year July. In our estate, there're presitage schools like "PeiChun Primary", "St Andrew Junior" to neighborhood schools like "Kheng Cheng" and "First Toa Payoh" for selection. Like all parents, we would like to give or help to provide best to our child. Hence, Mark and I have decided to enrol Ian to "St Andrew Junior" given our son's character.

Problem that we might encounter...."Balloting" as we can only enrol under Phase 2C within 1km. Let's all pray this year all within 1km there's no balloting.

Sad thing is that i can't do the enrollment myself as will be on confinement from End July to End August. Hence, Papa Mark have to do the enrollment for Ian. Knowing papa Mark, have write down a list of things for him to do as below :

1) Goto MOE website or Teletext on 2nd August to check the vacancy available
2) Goto the school on either 3 or 4 August to do the registeration and bring along the below :
- Birth Certificate
- NRIC of both parents
- Deed polls
- Immunisation Certificates
3) Wait for the result on 13th August

2) Arrival of Baby Renee
Will be meeting Baby Renee in another 7 weeks time (Planned to C-section on 28th July 2010) at "Thomson Medical Centre" as highly recommended by most friends. Nowadays, was busy with all the preparation for Baby Renee and also like to thank you friends for the hand me down items too.

Items - Checked
Playpen, Mattress, Stroller, Infant Car Seat, Infant Clothes, Milk bottles, Baby Carrier, Baby body care items, Disposable and Cloth diapers. bath tub, bedsheet and milk warmer

Items to get
Steriliser(Getting from baby meadow as only $49.90 and pending delivery), Dozen of bottles to store breastmilk(Anyone have these), Bean spout or latex bolester ?,Confinement food stuffs...(think will get them in July).

Lastly, did i miss out anything to buy???

Finally, give a check list for daddy to do before our discharge :
- Fixed the new curtain in masterbed room
- Clean Aircon and Ceiling Fans cum general house route cleaning
- Setup Play pen and convert study room for confinement uses.
- Fetch Confinement Lady if require

Life now

Previously spend times on work to path my career so my family and myself can enjoyed life.

Now spend times with family so we can enjoyed every moment together.

What my plan for 2010?

1) To stay in good health and wealth to take care myself and my family.
2) Enroll and get Ian ready for Primary 1 in 2011 ( most parent nightmare).

Simple plans but take HUGE efforts and times to accomplish.

Summary for 2009

2009

2009 wasn’t a good year for a lot of people including myself.

As retrenched in March, thought maybe I can be a stay home mum for awhile. However, a friend asked me to join her in property marketing. Hence, give it a try but after 3 months I thrown in my white flag. As it took up my times from my family and I was even busy then ever.

Furthermore, I also started my part time course in applied psychology hence I have even less time for my family and myself. The course I studied was purely for personal interests NOT so much in changing my career paths. As interested to know more how to deals with different type of people (whether they are normal or insane). However, this is NOT what other people think (Especially your boss or new employer). They see it that the people are trying to make a switch to their career paths. Sigh…. So if I study in cooking, does it means I want to become a cook? Answer is NO, because I just want to prepare a nice meals for my family and friends to enjoy.

Have spent at least 2/3 of my life working and never ever thought of slowing down or step back to relax. With the retrenchment and recession, it provide a period of time to rest and slow down a bit. Yes abit as a workaholic I can’t sit there doing nothing. Hence, I keep myself busy with my study and look for a simple job to kill my times as well as to earn some allowance for myself. A lot of my friends told me why waste your talents and experiences in simple jobs. However, if you look around what the market/company can provide? Most took in in-experiences people with qualification as they can pay them very low. Besides, some think those more experience are either too old or too high pay or difficult to handle(you know what I means….). Of course, it does not means I will just stop there, I will challenge the market again once I ready.
Finally after years of trying to conceive another child, i finally have my dream come true. We get to know about this on the last 3 days of 2009. After all, I didn’t really have a bad 2009 as I have achieved my goals that money can’t buy them

MIA updates.....

Again , MIA quite a long period…..and here the mass update for my blog again for 2009.

Finally i'm back in updating my blog

Early April till May, i was extremely busy but not sure why, shouldn't i'm more relax and free now. The answer to it is NO No No. No time for alot of things. As it seem like i have tonnes of unfinish tasks to be completed. Tasks ranging from managing the house chores, property works, studying and soul searching.

In fact, with the property work it have taken away a HUGE portion of my times from my family. Initially, i felt very frustrated as i loved to have my weekend with my hubby who travel very often and Son who is in childcare most of the time. With time allocation i make an efforts to bring Ian out on a week day to have an uninterrupted times. And sometimes have Ian to stay over at my brother place to have MORE couple time with hubby. : )

For the last few week, have bought Ian to Sembanwang Shopping Centre to play at the SPLASH playground ( note only operated from 11am to 2pm then 5pm to 8pm daily) and Ian loved it most. Besides there are ton of food selection for you to select.

Then on my birthday, we went to ZOO to celebrate my birthday together with the animals haha and of course my dear little boy enjoyed it the most. Regular trips to IKEA are a weekly route.
Both ian and myself enjoy watching movies ( last movie watch X-men ) and popcorn treat together. Poor daddy, can only enjoy the movie by himself in the plane haha.

The most interesting or exciting part of my week,was the seminar that i have attended. It is called Wealth Academy held by Adam Khoo. It stretched from Thursday evening 7pm till 12am, then followed by 3 full days from 9am till 12.30am. Honestly, through the seminar i wasn't tired at all. It have been long long times since i left IBM that i never have this excitement again. Hence, now i need to put my life back to track.

Golfing @ Palm Spring

Golfing at Palm Spring with golf kakis in my previous company.
It would really fun but if we can take it more leisurely.
Haha..for those in my group will know or share the same experience as me.

Looking forward for another game..soon

1st Day of my new chapter of life

Since i graduated from university, i have never felt so peaceful and have a good sleep.

For once, i will slow down my pace and enjoy my time with my hubby and son without thinking of work. Think it have been long time that i really lay on my back to enjoy the music made by the waves and staring at the crystal blue sky. How long i have detact from this? Really lost count of it.

Life is short and i always tell myself to cherish every minutes and the people around us. But today, i realised i have not been doing it as I'm lost in my WORKING world. Hence, would like to take this opportunity to catch up with my soul and reach out to HELP more people with my new skills.

Last Day in this Company

13th the Friday was my last day in this company- ROH.
What an lucky number...however it is still better then falls on my birthday else i have to remember it for life

Did i resign?
Of course no. Not during this bad economic

Package good?
So-so as only work for a year.

Was i sad to leave the company?
Not long enough for me to feel sad. Probably I'm numb on this.

What i really missed?
My salary haha....CSRs team and my Golf/lunch kakis.

How's the process like...painful or scary?
Not painful or scary. As i have always prepared myself for this day. Given the previous experience with this group of management. Well, they did tried to be professional but felt than they should be more humane. Anyway, what they said it is not going to help. haha.

How do i really feel?
This might be a good chance for me. As i have always want to tried out the life as housewife and being a full time mother. Just that i don't have the courage to do it as I'm unable to walk out from my comfort zone. However, have mixed feeling cause just shifted home and spent alot on the house. Hence from now, have to cut down all expense and stay lean...

What is my plan?
Will pursue my diploma in Psychology inclusive Early Childhood Psychology and Psychotherapy and Counselling. As the same time look for either part time/contract work till i complete my course. With this, i should be able to spend more time with my precious little boy.

What is my advise to those people left behind?
Those include in the planning should start to worry for themselves....as the number will keep climbing up and they might be one of them. (Am i cursing...no no just telling the fact)

For those not involve in this exercise, do ensure you have enough CASH on hand (If u have company phone) and all equipment in office at all times. Cause these people WORRY sick that we will sell the information to other.

I'm a emotion person hence i can't control my tear from rolling out if i see anyone cry or say something very touching to me. In this company, i have knew alot of nice (TRUE) people around me (You know who you are). Although today i not longer in this company but the friends i know will always be there.

I truly wishes you all the best and good luck.

FINALLY STATEMENT, shall not mentioned/lookback and MOVE FORWARD with my new chapter of life

Back to Maid Agent

On Saturday evening, received call from Maid agent that the early maid that i have selected. Can't come to Singapore as too young as she only turn 23yrs after June. Can't wait la.. So not choice but to go down to agent to select again.

Then on Sunday during our badminton games, Hubby received call from maid agent to ask whether we want to let the previous maid to work for us as she was regretted and apologised on the action she taken. Of course, we will not want to who's know maybe after another 2wks then give other kind of excuse (E.g. Can't work as alone at home too scare).

After the games, we went down the agent and saw the previous maid there. But there are not sign of regretted or sadness in her as she is smiling happily with others. Think she abit crazy.

Finally after an hour selection, we have come down with 2 candidates - 23yrs Single worked for 9yrs as housemaid and 29yrs Single parent worked couple of years as housemaid. Well, see how thing goes. Hope this round get a good maid to help out.

Sunday, March 1

Sian....lor...what else i can do? Do HOUSEWORKS all by myself again.....tired lor....

Lame excuse from maid

13th day into her job(27/02) and we have the below conversation.

PART I
Maid: Mdm, i can't handle Ian.
Me: Why?
Maid: Ian don't listen to me.
Me: What do you means Ian don't listen to you?
Maid: Send me back to agent.
Me: huh!
Maid: Ian don't listen to me and he don't follow me?
Me: Okay... but why must Ian follow you?
Maid: Send me back to agent.
Me: Don't understand as Ian only at home after 7pm daily and weekends.
Maid: (Keep quiet and started to tear...)
Me: Besides, you are here only 2wks and Ian are not familiar with you yet.
Maid: ( Keep quiet again....)
Me: Okay then. Will send you back to agent
Maid: (Slight relax and stop tearing) Can i pack now?
Me: No. Very late now (note almost 11pm) do it tomorrow and i need to talk to sir and agent.
Maid: Okay mdm, can i now go to sleep.
Me: Okay

Honestly, was not angry just very confused with the maid. Why she give such an lame excuse?
Can understand she missed home and her daugther of 1plus? If so, why bother to waste money and other's money/times? Besides, i'm very worry she will run away in the middle of the nights or do something on my family. Hence, decided to send her back to agent the following day.
(hmm... Think my temper have mallow down alot, given in the past i will definitely jumped on her and scold her. But this round i simply very calm and walk away from her)

PART II
Normally will wake up slightly late on Saturday morning but I wake up 8am sharp.
Then, found her fully packed and finished a few housechore.

Maid: Morning, Mdm
Me: Morning, already packed? need to see what in it? Can you take out and re-pack again?
Maid: Yes, mdm (take out one by one very slowly)
Me: Thought you told me you have no enough clothes why now your bags are full.
Maid: (Quiet and continue to unpack one by one)
Me: (Just sit and see her unpack everything)
Maid: Mdm, okay
Me: Okay, go change and will send you back to agent
Maid: Yes, mdm

Then i told Ian that the aunty will be leaving us today. My little boy asked me why? Just tell him that aunty missed her baby. Then Ian approached the aunty and she simply look at him without answer him. This really make me unhappy with her attitude.

Part III
Son: Aunty, why you go?
Maid: (Just look at Ian without answer and trying to walk away)
Son: Aunty, why?
Maid: (Just stand there and no response)
Son: Mummy, why aunty don't talk?
Me: Aunty, want to go home and see her baby.
Son: But why aunty don't talk?? (Raising his voice)
Me: Don't know. Maybe she can't talk today.
Son: Okay lor (Walk away and watch his TV programme)

This have make me even more determined to send her back home rather transfer her out. Then from home till agent's place, when Ian talk to her she simply just smile without answer. Sigh. What is wrong with these people?

The minutes step into the agent's place i felt that the maid will be "blacklisted". Because, the agent were scolding a batch of maid when i step in. This is not going to be easy for the maid.

Agent: (Turn at me and smile) Yes mdm, What can i do for you?
Me: Maid don't want to work with me anymore. She said that my son don't listen to her.
Agent: What! (Turned and stared at the maid with her eye super widen) Why don't want to work?
Maid: Can't as the boy don't listen to me.
Agent: How long you are here? 2wks only. Should spend more time to adapt. (Gradually increase her voice) The boy goes to childcare from 7am to 7pm, you also can't handle? You married (flipping the document and check). You married...you better don't marry. You don't even know how to take care others. You stupid.
Maid: (Started to tear)
Agent: (Turn to me) Do you want to keep her till new replacement come in?
Me: No, she already no heart to work. Later she run away, don't want to take the risk. Besides, she also asked me for handphone.
Agent: (Think she really mad) LEA!!!, what's wrong with you? Job offer already told you "NO HANDPHONE" and you still asked? When given to you? You can't handle the boy? You think you in philippines? Handphone you pay? you have money? (maid keep shaking her head) You can't give and take? You better don't work and go back. Waste money. You think air ticket free? I will make sure you pays for the losses and BLACKLIST you from entering Singapore again to work. You really have no brains...only need to take care of the house, look after the boy for couple hours and No elderly at home.....still can't do the job. You know you are Filpino not indonesian. Even indonesian know very little english are much hard working then you and try their best to do their job. YOU... think you are in philippines, don't want to work then don't work? Really brainless. You better don't have kid as you can't handle a small boy. Why are your hair so long? will cut them short. From now, will not treat you like a human being. You better think what you want to do.

Honestly, i can't remember all as she have being scolding her for at least 10mins. My brain capacity can't stored all these high pitched noise. Infact, i was taken back that the agent are so fierce to the maid. (Thought i was fierce, the agent are even more fierce then me)

According to agent, they have no choice to scold the maid else the maid don't respect and listen to the agents. And they can't employer if approached. Quite true, think the maid really regret on this. Sigh, no turning back as it will not going to be a pleasant relationship after this. So have to moved on and select another maid.

All i can said "Better luck next time and get a better maid to help out"

Last day of 2008

2008 Recalls :
* Enter into a new job.
* Bought a new house.
* Ian's moved from Greentrees Westlake to Yishun.
* Dad's condition is stablised.
* Ian's gone through two minor leg injuiries and alot of bruises here and there.
* Went for vacation with family and friend to Genting, desaru and Hongkong.
* Pick up new sport - Golf and start going for badminton game weekly with friends.
* Both Zanice and Sarah have given birth to baby girls.
* Lynette and adeline have settled down with their loved ones.

There are so many good and nice things for us to remember or recall but there are some events that have impacted us very badly.

For instance 2008 have started with good opportunity for most people however at the end of the rat race....things all started to changed. All have moved into recession mode. It is really hard to have people to enjoy the festival seasons. However, years being an IBMember then Lenovian then Rohm Haasian, have taught me to cherish the people around me...family and friends.

Hence, with this i have put in all my heart and soul to celebrate with my families, friends and colleagues . Besides, HOPE to have a good start in 2009 and let's all work together to go through this difficult times.
