false alarm

monday was a work day in HELL. i had two sessions of O level food and nutrition practical and was on my feet for 8 hours organizing the entire madness. ingredients, utensils, equipment, students, cutlery, etc, etc. its like being a producer for iron chef the movie times ten. gila babi kecoh.

missing ingredients, idiotic students, burnt lagsane, etc, etc.. thats somewhat the gist of the madness.

anyhow, i finally finally finished and cleaned the kitchen almost 7pm. means i have been on my feet for more than 12 hours plus plus.

came home, backache yang teramat and also a new sensation.. contractions.

hello sayang? siangnya? its only 7 and a half months tau. kan mama dah bilang jgn keluar cepat-cepat.

thank god i have my own personal midwife at home a.k.a. mother. she told me because of the hectic workload i had and standing on my feet the whole day, the baby was making a south-ward descent. i had to quickly prop up my legs vertically. if my mother could shackle me up by my ankles, hair touching the floor, she would do that.

somehow it worked. its called braxton hicks btw a.k.a. false alarm. but in some severe cases, it could really lead to premature labour.

btw, when i smsed the husband telling him i am experiencing contractions, he didnt reply till an hour later. husband went SWIMMING la. nasib baik tak in labour betul2.

and so, i had two days mc which i spent lying on my back, on my comfy bed, legs propped up, reading a collection of 'baby blues' comic (how apt :P) tak productive langsung since i had tonnes of markings to do. but hey.. whaddeheck.. its not everyday i am 7andahalfmonths preggers and had a first taste of how contractions feel like. i NEEDED the damn rest.

and so, today is thursday.. one more day of work and its the long weekend. i am not going up kl cuz dah tak larat and besides, its mothers day weekend and the cousins and their fam are coming over for our annual makan2.

my mil is hospitalised for stress and overwork. she's been there since tuesday. wish i could pop by to see her or something. shes gotta be really lonely there. i mean theres so much her 3 sons can do, right?

theres more on my head that i could ramble about here but time does not permit. adieu everyone. have a great long weekend. :)
