All colleagues have been asking my mom why she is still in the office as my due date is next Wed 26 Sep. Hmm........ She just smiled back without further comments. She wish to take leaves starting from next Monday 24 Sep and hopefully the doctor can give her few days MC.
She always curious to ask doctor if she is ready to deliver but my doctor told her off and said that no one in this world can predict when you are going to arrive or leave this world. True oso..
So, she has to learn to wait patiently. She has developed a habit talking to me and told me to give her full support during labour. I'm v excited now bcoz I'll be seeing my mom soon in one week time.

Naming "Ah Bi"
Mom has been struggling to find a name for "ah bi" for few months. Discussed with friends, grandpa, father, and others. Still no clues.
Nevertheless, mom sticked to some general principals like:
1. Not too common until you will be called big bi or small bi in the same class like my mom
2. Not too uncommon until no one can pronounce it correctly
3. No Unisex name until you will be mistaken as a "GIRL"
4. No funny name - Au is pronounced as "O" in English, so names to avoid "Ocean", "Ogawa", "Osim". Owen sounds nice and it can be used as both Chinese and English name "AU WEN"
After thinking through all the possibilities, mom still like this name Au Kai Young 区凯阳. Mom wants me to be a successful person with warm heart.

Boring
Wed, 12 Sep 07, 4.17pm
Mum started to get bored when mum's friend went off one by one to deliver. My first Sep baby friend was born on last Mon with C-section. He overtook us and appeared to be the lightest baby boy 5.9lbs. Mum's 2nd colleague went on leave earlier to wait for her delivery.
Mum is alone now in the office, idling around to play kakuro, kusodo and "spot the difference" from SCJP.
Hmmm......... mum is taking to go off next week and rest at home. No more stressful driving in the morning as the Segambut Dalam shortcut is getting congested nowadays.
Mama, Ah bi will give u full support when the time comes. Don't worry......... Two more weeks to go, I'll be arriving in this exciting world. Hopefully, I won't cause u much pains.

Sick
Finally, mom couldn't withstand the hectic the schedule and fell sick during the merdeka break. Mom has coughed v badly, caught a cold and fever over the last few days. During the holiday, the gynae was closed. Mom went to a normal clinic and got some cough mixture, antibiotic and panadol. Mom only ate noodles (mian sian) cooked by papa. Papa learnt it from my grandma. How nice if papa can cook a nice meal when I grow-up.
After fighting with the virus for about a week, mom started to feel better now. What a relief! Mom is getting anxious when due date is closer. She couldn't differentiate btw a false alarm and a real one! Mom wanna to take one week off to rest at home knowing that the other two colleagues were doing so. Driving to work is getting difficult when mom's feet is swollen. It's better to leaves earlier.
