Sign Language at Prescott Inn, Medan Tuanku, Kuala Lumpur and more updates

Hello hello from Kuala Lumpur :)

I'm here for a 5 days vacation... NOT... I'm actually here to attend a Sign Language Course (Kursus Bahasa Isyarat) organized by Institut Sosial Malaysia (ISM). 

note:  I feel lucky :) ... Never thought that my 1st kursus of the year needs me to be in KL ... lol. 

Staying at Prescott Inn for the 1st time (it's near Medan Tuanku's Monorail Station which is pretty convenient) and 1st time going to KL via Air Asia. 

From LLCT (Air Asia's Low Cost Terminal) I took  Sky Rapid (bus) which cost RM9 per trip to KL Central. From KL Central I walk to Brickfield Monorail (currently the fastest way to the monorail is block due to some construction site) that takes about 5 minutes. From the Brickfield Monorail I bought a ticket to MR8 (Medan Tuanku) that cost me RM2.50 per trip. Didn't take too long to reach MR8 (it took only 8 to 10 minutes). And lastly from the MR8 station it takes 1 minute to reach the hotel.... lol... travelling around KL is a piece of cake even for a country bumpkin like me ;)

Ok back to the topic... since it's just my 1st day (registration day) here, I still haven't learn a thing but really look forward to it since years ago. Working with OKU this past few year made me realize how important it is for everyone to learn and to be able to communicate with people with hearing/sight/speech problems. People with hearing/sight/speech disabilities have come so far as to learn signs to communicate with the community. I personally thing that if people everywhere learn signs just like they have it would lessen the communication barrier between normal and those with hearing/sight/speech disabilities. That's why I choose to come to KL all the way from KK (and erm erm little budget... belum gaji bah) to learn using sign. 

====================================================== Day 1

So remember my last post about my period? Yay, finallly! 5 to 7 days after eating the last dose of Deviry 10mg, my period came out and last from 6 to 7 days. Now I hope, if I don't get preggy my second period this year comes out by the the same time last month or at least by the end of this month.

Happy New Year 2012 & A Visit to the Clinic

Happy New Year 2012! 


Hope everything went well for everyone last year and may god bestows all his blessings upon all of you in the coming new year 2012 and in many years ahead. 


So on new year I went to the clinic for a check-up since I haven't had my period for almost 5 - 6 months. I feel that I might be pregnant because I have several pregnancy symptoms such as strange cravings, mood swings, fatigue, stretch marks, stomach discomfort, enlarged abdomen, gaining lots of weight  and  to make it short ... I just 'feel' pregnant. In those  5- 6 months I took almost 15 home pregnancy tests but all shows negative/not pregnant.


I did went to the hospital last October but never had a clear result. I  had my first ultrasound scan. The doctor says that nothing is wrong with me or with my uterus. I ask the doctor to explain why I haven't had my period for months and got a simple answer... I'm over-weight. So I went to the gym and had a trainer's advice on how to exercise and some balance diet tips. After 2 months I still don't see any much different. One things for sure that I feel like there is something going on with my body and had those preg symptoms like I mention earlier but much worst than before especially the cramps around my abdomen.


Still not satisfied with my first check up (hoping that the second check-up will give me a positive result but still trying not to get my hopes up), I went to a clinic that I'm used to going every time when I need to get my immunization shots. I'm suppose to get my 3rd and last dose of HPV Vaccine but before I do so I just want to make sure that I'm not pregnant. (Note: It's not recommended for pregnant women to take this vaccine).


The doctor's first reaction shows that I might be pregnant. Then I had my abdomen check and an ultrasound (I even have a copy of the ultrasound photo) showing a negative result. My doctor explained that me being over-weight might have cause hormone imbalance that causes no period and fertility problem due to the ovary unable to release any egg. My doctor gave Deviry 10 mg for my period (for 5 days), Adipex retard capsule (for 30 days) to help me with my weight and finally advice me to continue exercise and control my diet.


I really hope that my period comes back again. My menstrual cycles usually changes since my teens. It's usually on time and sometimes comes only after 40-50 days since my last period. There are times that I could even have my period for 5 days start during the end till early of the month (for example: Jan, 29 - Feb, 2). Could that be counted as 2 months? Heheh.


To be honest after the second check up, I did feel a little sad that I'm not preggy yet but at the same time feeling relieved that I can finally do my normal routine without worrying about it. Just imagine not knowing that your actually baking something in your oven for months (thinking I'm just fat and not care less if it grows like a balloon) and only to found out all this time your 7-9 months preggy and about to go for labour during one of your gym sessions (lol). 


Anyway for now I'm going to take my doctor's advice (lose weight) and my husband and I will try to take this preggy issues one step at a time and just have fun for the time being. Never give up. Lastly I'm going to do some updates here if my period comes out after taking Deviry 10mg for 5 days (starting Jan 7).
