It's the school holidays. We decided to go to Cameron Highlands to enjoy some cool weather as it has been scorching hot lately. Was a big mistake going during the school holidays cum public holiday on Saturday in conjunction with Agong's birthday. The jam was horrendous! A short 15 minute ride became 2 hours! Needless to say we didn't get to do much. But we had a great time still. We had steamboat dinner the first night. Went to Tanah Rata for breakfast the following morning followed by tea at Cameron Valley. Went to Boh plantation further down south later as that was where we really wanted to go initially. Although I have a feeling that it's the other Sungai Palas one up north in Brinchang. Then got stuck for 2 hours to get back to Villa Dahlia. Rested and had a simple dinner at the apartments coz we didn't want to go put and get stuck again. Papa and I went over to Cameron Highlands Resort for a quick little date by their fireplace over a cup of hot chocolate after putting Che Che and Kor Kor to bed while the rest of our family played mahjong.
The next morning, we departed to a self-driving strawberry farm. Cheche was especially thrilled as she had been waiting and waiting to pick some strawberries. We had lots of fun picking a punnet of berries but unfortunately couldn't enjoy the fruits of our labour as we left them in Popo's house in Ipoh!
The last time we were in Cameron was when Cheche was about 6 months old! So this is KorKor's first trip too. Though short and jammy, it was overall a pleasant and memorable little trip.

Happy birthday to me!
About to go to sleep but thought I should get this long overdue post sorted once and for all. So many things have happened since my last post - Karpal Singh died in a car accident and his son got elected to take over his place being one of it. The sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah also passed away about a week ago at 84 after much speculation of his death since the last general election last March. He is succeeded by his son, Raja Nazrin.
The main push factor for me to write this post is... I received a call from Dr Ng at about 4pm yesterday telling me that my GTT shows that I have gestational diabetes. What a bummer. He mentioned that my fasting blood was alright. At at T+1, it went up to 7 and then instead of going down, it went further up to 9 after another hour. That's sucky news. I'm asked to check in into the hospital for a night's stay to do more checks and get advice for diet. Sigh, baby. Papa got really worried too.
After feeling down awhile and reading a whole load on GD, I told myself that I have no excuses now not to exercise and to eat healthily, for all our sake and especially for your sake, baby. We still have 3 months to go but I kept reminding Papa not to be too down by it and just make lemonade out of the lemons.
We will be alright, baby. We will be.
Dear Father, I pray for You to take control of my bodily functions. Let my cells be sensitive to continue to produce insulin to break down the glucose in my system. Help me to stay within the normal range. Most importantly, continue to keep baby safe and help him grow and develop well. Let his organs and body form properly with no dysfunction especially in his heart and lungs which may be associated with the increased blood sugar. I pray against diabetes and obesity after the birth for both of us. Lord, remove any fear in me and help me stay focus and keep things in control. Thank You for being there for us, never forsaking us. Amen.
