MEMORY THAT STAYS..

Hello and good day everyone.. Well this week will be the most interesting theme as I am going to reveal one of my most sweetest, greatest, unforgettable memory I had recount through my 34 years of living in this spectacular world. Our life is unique and special when one could experience the moment of giving birth. It is a moment where women will never forget for the rest of their lives. As for me. the most wonderful memory would be giving birth to my son, Sai Visharath Dev who is already 3 now. Wow, time flies!!!I can reassure that this experience is extremely unique and that special moment made me having closer bond to my mum as I felt the pain she has gone through when delivering us into this world.

getting ready for C section

Here is what had happened. My son was supposed to be entering this world on the 24th Of January 2012 but due to some circumstances, the doctor in JMC specialist Centre  felt that it was too early. I checked in the hospital on the 29th of January 2012 but unfortunately I did not experience any contraction at all and the doctors felt it was weird.My stomach was extremely huge and I was tired being pregnant as I was dealing with weight problems. I have gone through the uncomfortable swelling on my both legs due to weight. I  can say that my whole body was bloated and it was really devastating to look at myself in the mirror.(Sigh), 

going to the labour room

On the 30th of January, I had that icky crampy feeling and it was not easy to have a good sleep as the stomach has been big.I could recalled my days sleeping in a sitting position as I find it suffocating when i lay myself on the bed. IT was   tough during pregnancy but I enjoyed it especially feeling and seeing the movements of the stomach when my baby gets hungry.

In the hospital, they hooked me up with a belly monitor to see the continuous reading of my son's heartbeat. It was pounding really hard.When the doctor came, he checked to see if I was ready for the birth as he said the contractions had started and I had only 2 cm dilated. So, the doctor urged us to wait after two hours after giving me some shots for me to dilate as soon as possible. After 8 hours of waiting , the doctor came and checked me and it stayed 2 cm. Even though I was induced, it had not dilated. He was worried for the baby as there are chances for the baby to drown himself. I panicked but somehow a sweet nurse calmed me down and asked me to get ready for a C-section.

my son..

 Praying is the only thing I can do. The nurse gave me a robe and sent me to the labour room. The room smelled all kinds of medicine. I hated it. I was greeted by a lady doctor and she directed me to lie down on a small bed. She asked me to count numbers. I remembered stopping at the count of three as I had passed out after that. After 20 minutes later, my son was brought to the world at 4.58 p,m. I woke up after 2 hours and I felt really dizzy due to the medicine. Holding him for the first time was remarkable. I held him and he was heavy. Then I was told later by the doctor that he weighed 4.4 kg..I was overwhelmed and it was the most wonderful memory having the feeling of being the mother for the first time, The feeling  was indescribable. I cried in joy when he cried on my arms. It was so cute to see his pinkish face.

heading home after a week in the hospital

I'm not going to lie, the process of recovering from the surgery was painful,Too many do's and don'ts.
I could say that it was a blissful memory and I thank God for giving me one.

As for me, Greece has been my dream destinastion since I was ten years old. I was amazed of this place when I watched a documentary covering this country. The view of this place was so beautiful and breathtaking and it did impresse me since I was a kid.I guess this is the only country which is not polluted with filthy and suffocating contaminated air.The people there preserved their land from being contaminated and it is proven that Greece is also a country with a population people experiencing zero health hazard. I have set my mind to visit this place one day when I have enough savings.It is costly but I will make it a point to go there especially to one of the most beautiful island Santorini island. It is also known as the best island in Greece and the most romantic destinations in the world. There is a steep caldera and visitors can set their eyes on the beautiful sunset from the place which everyone dying to see that spectacular view.I am a person who loves to set my eyes on watching sunset. It is just spectacular to watch the sunset view especially from this island.

Besides , Greece is also famous for its beaches and lovely nature. I am charmed with its blue green water which I am really eager to dive in.The architecture of the buildings built in Greece is so wonderful and not forgetting the vivid villages around which is famous for its white sugar house. For me, Greece is one of the destinations  that suits all ages and tastes.The place is simply gorgeous I should say even by looking at them in pictures.I have heard from my uncles who have been there, that once you step in Greece , you don't feel like coming back. I saw the pictures that they took and they really mesmerised me and I'm longing to go and explore there myself along with my husband and my son to this trip as well.The place is just mind blowing.It is an idyllic destination for everyone who needs a break.

VILASUGAR'S FERRIS WHEEL..

Hello and goodday everyone.. This is my very first time experiencing on writing a blog and I'm super excited as I've always wanted to have a blog of my own but never had the initiative to do so. Eventhough it is a part of my course requirement to do this, I am going to be using this blog as part of my social communication with others for the entire of my life. I had procastinate on this for a very long time and now finally I'm out of the world of "computer illiteracy". Once again, people, everything is about effort and how you take things serious when you are really into doing something "Thought of the day by Vilasugar".

It was early morning and all the doctors were away for breakfast. 21st November 1981 marked an important date in my parents' lives.My mother was admitted in the hospital for the labour pain and it took two days for her to get me out from her belly but I was adamant to stay in my "comfort zone". While the doctors were away, and no one was around, my mum had a great sneeze and there, my head popped out saying hello to everyone but the nurses around were freaked out and trying to calm things down. With some great push from my courageous mother, I'm finally out. My entry to this world was a big unpredictable moment and that is why people around me used to relate my character as an unpredictable one too until today. (Sigh...)

          thanks to my parents.. I am here to day and I am someone today..

Born as the only girl and the youngest of three siblings, my father named me as Vilashini, a name adapted by a famous pseudonym in a Tamil magazine that my father used to read in the 80's era. I must admit that I love my name as it brings the meaning of joy in Tamil and I admit I am one. I recalled those days when I used to thank my father for giving me this name as my classmates used to tag along weird names with them.

                        7 months old Vilasugar

As I grew older, I endured bad times frequently where I was bullied by my friends for having this name. My name was translated into sugarvila as "shini" brings the meaning of "sugar" in Tamil. But frankly, it didn't bother me at all. I loved it as well and I thank god as it meant sugar and nothing else( hope you all know what I meant).

Life was good and I could cope up in studies very well.I was an above average student. I love reading from  the day I could put letters into words. I was fond of reading English storybooks. Enid Blyton was one of my favourite authors when I was a kid.I always  dream of becoming an author myself but ended up teaching which is my passion too.I always wanted to follow my father's footsteps. My father was an English teacher in a primary school and he was also incharged of the library of the school that he taught. I could recalled the sweet memories when my father used to bring brand new books of Enid Blyton back home for me to read. He had to remind that these books were only meant to be borrowed so I had to squeeze some of my time to read. I grew to love English at a very young age. Eventhough, I love English, unfortunately, I did not converse the language with my family or friends, Surprisingly, rather than conversing in my mother tongue, I used to converse in Bahasa Malaysia even to my family members.I tend to be fluent in this language and people especially relatives had their negative perceptions on me saying that I was not good in English. They mocked me throughtout my teenage life but at first it was really devastating when they mocked me in front of others but i grew to ignore them. Adding to that, I stuttered during my teenage life. I had experienced stuttering when I read or communicate with people. But this did not shy me away. So, stuttering and not communicating in English were big problems during my burgeoning life. However, I endured really bad comments from peers and relatives. I remember crying myself to sleep asking God why I have to go through this as I could not take any more slurs by my friends and relative when I stuttered.Stuttering became really bad at the age of 16. I did not see any speech therapy as I was shy to consult them. But it did not stop me from talking as I love to talk.Teasing and mocking when I stutter was normal for me then.I am not a person who stand up and fight for myself.I would describe myself as a coward person then due to all these circumstances. But one fine day, one of my teachers advised me that we were born for a reason. Despite all these problems, my teacher said there is a solution for everything. My teacher, Miss. Nona advised me on getting into the habit of reading in front of a mirror which will really helped alleviate the stuttering problem. I was overwhelmed and practiced as what she had told.
