Now, two real men understand the real pain of childbirth

Some women experienced labor contraction on their abdomens, the other group of women experienced it at the lower back of the body.

According to my aunty:"Lower back pain is worse than abdomen pain. Somehow, she experienced both during childbirth."

These are the real examples I found from babycenter:

• I begged my hubby to throw me out of the car on the way to the hospital, it hurt so bad.
•  Painful, until I got the epidural! It saved my life!
• I had excruciating pain.

Google: Contraction moment

No matter how many women expressed their experiences of giving birth, the pain that acts as a knife stabbing them, the male groups will never understand their real pain...

until some men finally stand up and get involved in this real-pain situation. Thanks to two Dutch hosts named Dennis Storm and Valerio Zeno used electro-stimulation to trigger the contraction.

They were shouting and moving from one place to another when the contraction happened. But some women can never move around like them during childbirth with big baby sleeping in their tummy.

Google: Mother is love:)

Now they finally realize why a woman is very important.
A woman must carry a big tummy to walk around for 9 months.
A woman must bear the pain of contraction during childbirth.

Watch the video of the 2 male hosts:)

Max, the friendly little Man

Max was a lucky man. He met 3 new friends at 3 different places today!

1. At a coffee shop at 10a.m

A family was sitting next to our table. Their baby boy was so cute, sitting quietly on his Fisher Price's baby chair. My mother was talking to the baby boy's aunt. 

Max was busy looking at the 11-month-old baby boy. He kept looking and wanted to move forward, get closer to his new friend. But his new friend was too busy in sitting calmly.

2. At another coffee shop at 2p.m

We were having lunch. 

A family was sitting 2 tables away from us. 

But they had a cute 4-month-old baby girl who was so chubby.

We were sitting quite far yet Max still able to look at her, talked loudly, as if he was talking to her.

But the baby girl was too young to give any response to Max.

3. At a shop

A 1-year-plus boy was carrying by his mother.

Max wanted to touch him.

Actually, he wanted to take the boy's pacifier away from the friend. I pulled him backward, I mean Max.

The 1-year-plus boy was so cool. 

Then he cried because he did not want to go home. Mum thought Max made the boy cry.

He loves to make new friends:)

Inspiration from FourFeetNine's Kempen Sopan Santun

In the realm of Internet, I never stop keeping abreast of news of the world, keeping update with the tips and life of the bloggers from all around the world.

I am so lucky to come across an article from a latest post about Kempen Sopan Santun a.k.a Courtesy Campaign by Audrey.

I gain awesome inspiration from Audrey to recall some not-so-sopan and sopan incidents that happened in my life.

My Not-So-Sopan *Not-so-polite* incidents

1. At the airport and he said:"Please Line Up"

The moment the plane touched down, I was so excited to head to the main entrance, walking towards the booth that sell bus ticket to Malacca.

You know, my mind was blank because all I wanted was to buy a ticket and go home. A foreign person was standing at the corner of the booth.

So I thought like the queuing up style in fast-food restaurant where a person stand at the corner of the counter while waiting for the food, the next customer come forward to take his/her order style. I went straight to the booth but was stopped by the person.

He said:"Please line up." 
I immediately said:"Sorry" and stand few distances away from him before waiting for my turn.

That day, I learn that some people prefer to stand far away from the next customer or standing at the corner of the booth. That does not mean that the person had finished buying their food/ticket.

I learn new thing from the person.

Google: Please Line Up:)

2. At the restroom and she said:"Stupid"
Almost everyone was lining up while waiting for their turn to do their small/big business.

A girl was standing by the sink in the restroom of the airport. Sometimes we waited and waited then someone will politely said:"You can go ahead, I am waiting for my friend/sister/mother."

So I thought perhaps that girl was waiting for her friend. Without hesitation, I stand in front of her. Then she said:"Stupid".
Well, not directly to me because there were people who always have the same thought as me.

She looked at her friend and mention:"Stupid".
Whoa, it was quite a surprise word but it was my fault because I did not know that she was lining up.

Besides, the way she spoke was different and I only found out she was not a Malaysian.

Next time, I will learn to ask everyone before cutting their line. She taught me something new.


My Sopan "polite" incidents

1. In the university bus. It was 2 for 3
Catching the bus in Universiti Malaysia Sabah early in the morning is so challenging. Sometimes, we run like mad, hoping the bus driver will wait for us for a few more minutes. At the time, the bus was full of students.

One day,  the bus was so crowded so as usual, I was standing while holding my heavy laptop at the same time. A girl touched my hand, asking me to sit with her without hesitation. I was the one hesitated because the seat was meant for 2 persons. I was the 3rd person. Imagine they were so thin yet allowed a fat student to join them.

I was so touched and still touched by their attitude. I will never forget their kindness.

Google: Have your seat:)

2. At the hospital's waiting hall for the old folks
If you are late, there is no seat for you. That's normal, very normal.

I was lucky to have a seat when a person went back while I was waiting for a memo from the doctor. Then I saw 2 old couples just came out from the other room. They too, were waiting something from the doctor.

But they were standing. They were old and weak. So I let one of them to take my seat. After seeing what I did, another good young person also let the other one to take his seat. Both of the old couple were thankful and said thank you to us.

It feels good to see their smiles:)

Through Audrey's post and my life experience, I've learn that:

1. We must always line up, sometimes stand a few distances away.
2. Always empty our seats for the older adults, pregnant women and children.

The family got 'cheaper' sweet muffins last week

Daddy decided to go to Kenny Rogers Roasters after everyone of us decided that Secret Recipe was not our 'day' last Saturday.

This is what we call 'Family' because my heart told me to go to Kenny Rogers silently without telling any of my family members. Perhaps daddy was indirectly bowed to his inner voice. Well, daddy also loved Kenny Rogers Roasters to bits.

I like the way the staffs set up a small table right in the middle of the main entrance to attract people on the promotion of Bcard in January.

The moment my family was ordering the food, I managed to ask the waiter about it. Turn out, it was a huge promotion in January by forking out RM10 for the card, we can get half dozen of Muffins immediately in January.

In reality, a muffin costs RM2.20. In conclusion, we saved few Ringgit Malaysia.

Look, the muffins promotion is true:)

Initially, the waiter told us that only two flavors was available: Vanilla and Banana. Then, we saw Chocolate Muffins. Curiosity took over me and without hesitation, I asked the waiter politely.

Ahh, I was not sure which waiters came first because they looked alike: Wearing a pair of glasses, a cap with almost similar face feature! 
This incident brought me back to year 2010 when I was a part time waitress.

"My friend came with his twin whom I'd never seen before. I was talking to my friend. By double confirm the menu, I looked at his twin. 
Luckily my friend was my friend, so we laughed together without me running away for the silly incident."

As a result of my asking, I found out that Chocolate Muffins sold out few minutes ago. The staffs baked the new ones and displayed outside, again.

Me with brother holding the Bcard.

Busy choosing the right food.

It's nice to spend some quality time eating with the family once in a while. It can be a last minute moment to decide the food but the process of chit-chatting, eating and laughing together as a family worth more than what we can imagine.

That day I learned that:

1. Latest promotion or attractive things must be placed at the most attractive and obvious places.
2. Make sure to look at the waiter/waitress when talking so that we will not mistaken which waiter was serving us.
3. Eating with family members is the most amazing moment in life.

"The family is one of nature's masterpieces."
