Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

It's an eventful day for me.

Woke up late today - blame it to the cough meds i took the night earlier.

Checked my mobile to find tons of text messages of new year wishes and spent a couple more minutes replying them . Thanks all for the messages. That was very sweet of you.

Chu Boy sent a message saying that he's at the hospital. His wife has been in the labor room since 5am. It was 1pm then and she was still in the room. Still no baby yet.

We decided to go to Carrefour for groceries before coming to the hospital. Chu Boy called at 6pm to say that they're still in the labor room - no baby yet. The kids grabbed a quick bite and we were off from Carrefour at 6.45pm.

That was when Chu Boy caled again, asking if we could go to Puduraya to fetch his mother in law - who's been waiting since 6pm! We rushed home, stashed all the purchases, packed some food for him and sped off to Puduraya. The poor aunty waited for nearly 2 hours.

Traffic was surprisingly clear all the way to Ampang Hospital. Which by the way, we had to ask directions for because none of us has ever been to this place. Luckily Chu Boy called and gave directions.

We were not allowed in the labor room (obviously) so we waited by the lobby while he sent his mother in law to wait around the labor room. That's how far she could go. Only husbands are allowed in the labor room.

Anyways, it's 11pm and still no baby. Am still waiting for updates.

That's how i spent my Jan 1, 2008.

I hope your first day of the year was fun.
