My 2nd child - Jae-Drien

Now is the time to blog about Jae-Drien. When Ker-Vie was 2 years old, we planned to have a sibling for her. After a month of trying, the gynae confirmed that HM was conceived. So from that time onwards, HM went for monthly check-up, until the final month which was the 9th month, the gynae told us that HM got a slightly high blood pressure. He advised HM to induce a week before the actual due date.

On 28th Apr 05, this time no more watching movie, early morning we get ready and reached Pantai Hospital, Bangsar at 9am. As usual, after the registration, we headed to labour ward and HM gone thru the necessary checked and the nurse put the medication into the vagina to bring on the contractions.

Few hours later, HM started experiencing minor contractions. In the evening, she was in such great pain that she has to rely on the gas for pain relief. HM didn’t asked for an epidural. When Hui Min has fully dilated, Dr Jeremy prepared to welcome the baby. This time HM faced the same situation due to the baby's size; Dr Jeremy recommended the use of the vacuum to assist in easing the baby out of the birth canal. After a few pushed with the helped of the vacuum, Jae-Drien was finally born, healthy and perfect at 4.06kg. He was heavier than KV by 0.26kg. After Jae-Drien out of the birth canal, Dr. Jeremy passed the sterilized scissors to me and asked whether I want to cut the cord, I said ‘YES’ and he guided me where to cut. It was the good & memorable experience for me.

New to this world. The nurse hasn't cleaned him up and has some blood stained on his head.

32nd Bon Odori 2008

"Bon-Odori" is a Japanese traditional summer dance festival. Bon-odori means dance festival held in the bon/obon season, in which Japanese invite their sprits of ancestores to this world. In the festival a variety of foods are offered to the spirits of ancestors. The dance is very simple. You can learn with a few minutes practice, and it's absolutely fun.

We often seen the festival in towns and villages across the country in Japan, on summer evening. People wearing "Yukata" gather and join outdoor dance known as Bon-odori in the near-by park or playground. The origin are derived from that farmers were thankful for good harvests in days of old.

I plan to go on this Saturday. This event hold at Panasonic Sports Complex, Shah Alam. The last time I've been there was about 10 years ago with friends. This time I will bring along my family. The event start at 7pm but they allow to go in at 5pm.

Late Night Shopping

Last Saturday, I went with my siblings to Pavilion at about 9PM. At first, we didn't know Pavilion has extended the business hours. We had a drinks at Jade Crystal and after that we went for shopping. We went back at about 11PM.

While we were shopping, we saw this notice and I asked my brother to Q-up for the spin because we have spent RM160 for the drinks. There was a long Q and finally he won a Prize A (7days Entrance Pass to True Fitness). The Pass was useless for him coz he doesn't exercise. Look at his size, you will know :P
Joe with his nephew JunYin were in the Q.
On the wheel has four Prize A (red color), four Prize B (grey color) and 1 Special Prize (orange color). The wheel abit tricky, bcoz its never stop at Special prize. Even when its stopped at Special Prize but its will turned back. So weird.
