One and a half months after our marriage, my husband was transferred to Bangkok. Since I didn’t work, I followed him and stayed there for about 2 weeks. Something unexpected happened! I had a miscarriage on my way back to Malaysia. Upon arriving at the KLIA, my hubby rushed me to Subang Jaya Medical Centre. Luckily the bleeding was not severe and doctor did the D&C next morning. D&C (Dilatation and Curettage) is a minor gynecological procedure which involves dilating the cervix and curetting the uterine contents. The operation went on smoothly and I was allowed to go home at the same day. Apart from the nausea caused by the GA (General Anesthetic) I was fine.
A few days later my hubby went back to work, since then he came back every month for a few days during his assignment to Bangkok for the next 8 months.
Three weeks after the miscarriage, I went back to Indonesia. I returned to work part time at my ex-company to assist them on the project which I was in charge at the time I resigned and at the same time attended one of my best friends, Che’s wedding. Hubby visited me for a few days. And since he worked at Bangkok, I could stay longer (one month) and spend more time with my mum. On the way back to Malaysia, I dropped by Malaysian High Commission in Singapore to pick up my entry visa, which I applied before going to Bangkok.
In May 2002, again I followed hubby to Bangkok. This time, I stayed there for about a month and visited a few other places in Bangkok. One of them was Chachutak (a HUGE area with hundreds or perhaps thousands of “pasar malam” like stalls that sell almost anything) but I was a little disappointed that we did not get to go to the Talatnam but we went to Ayutthaya. I really enjoyed my stay this time; the shopping, the food were just so nice! And people are friendly too and we were greeted everywhere we go. Sawadee-kah.
In August 2002, I returned back to my ex-work place for the last time to finish up the Project.

mummy to qiqi,
that's my first year of marriage mah, still don't have kids, hehe...
housewife is more challenging than working wor...I admire you n Chinnee..I dont think I can be as patient both of you...
oh, I didn't know you were from Indonesia.. I did wonder which country you were originally from since you say you were a foreigner :-)
Now with kids, being a housewife, not so leisurely anymore, right? Anyway, sorry about having your comments disappearing at my blog. Actually, your comments didn't disappear. Sometimes, they just get errorneously caught by the anti-spam measures and won't appear until I de-spam them. So, your comment on my metrosexual men post is now there. Anyhow, thanks for all your comments!
Now only I know u r from Indonesia. So for you getting a maid and communicating with them would be easy. They will feel as if "own people"
It's nice to leave the hectic lifestyle. You are an incredible person!
chanelwong,

tot's mom,

delittleones,
yup, I don't have any communication problem with my 2 previous maids, but sometimes they just didn't want to follow what I told them to do.
babysmooches,
thanks, u always cheer up my days :)
For Bangkok, I strongly recemmend to visiting the floating marking. In fact, there are many floating markets in thailand but Dam nern sa duak is the original one. The market is actually a canal full of boats selling everything: noodles, fruits, souvenirs, handicrafts, and many more. If you don't wish to pay 1000 Baht for the long tail boat tour , you may just take a non-motor boat instead, it cost only 200 Baht.
Hello Miss Bangkok Hotels,
Thank you for visiting my blog.
I visited floating market once in 1995, but can't remember which one I visited. Will definitely visit the one you recommend next time I go to Bangkok.

hi angeline,
at the time I opened file, it only took me about 14 days for the approval. Now the procedure has been changed I think. I blogged about it at the below links:

You can try to apply the China visa in KL, show them your marriage cert and the receipt from immigration that you are applying Malaysia visa.
btw, which part of Malaysia do you stay?
Wish you all the best.
