Is, this reminds me of visit to doctor when i was 7 months pregnant. I kept having fainting fits and was lying on the bed.
Doc: what brought about this fainting fits? have u not been eating?
KT: err, may be something to do with with my pregnancy?
Doc: What? U're pregnant? No one tells me anything these days. (Sambil menjeling nurse)

Kak teh was lying in bad like a stranded whale and couldn't even see my toes. Yet he couldn't even see the bump!
