I was busy yesterday. Went to my centre in the morning and hubby’s office to help him out with some paper work in the afternoon. After that, I went to meet my friends who wanted to do some shopping. I wanted to buy some baby products so I decided to shop first before going home for my pumping session.

But I was quite engorged, and felt uncomfortable when I reached Ipoh Parade. Since I brought along my pump, I thought I might just pump in the nappy room at Parkson Grand. It’s a nice baby changing room with 2 separated rooms equiped with sofas and curtains. I like to use it when Justin was younger.

So as I was doing my pumping, I could hear some promoters chatting outside the room. It’s Wednesday, so it’s not crowded. That’s why the promoters could gathered for a chat.

After I’d done pumping, I walked out of the room feeling relieved and good! But I noticed that they’re gossipping behind my back and I could feel that they’re watching me. One of them even went into the nappy room and came out telling the rest of them there’s no baby inside.

” Mo baby keh?” (No baby); “Kui hong yap bim juo meh ye?” (What’s she doing inside?); bla bla bla…

I could hear what they said as I was just browsing some baby products nearby. They’re so ke po chi about what I was doing in the room. Thus I decided to break the mystery by telling them I pumped my milk in the room just now. Wow, if you could see their expressions, they looked so surprised!

I ignored them and kept myself busy at choosing the things for my kids. One of the promoters approached me by asking me if I’d like to buy milk bottles. I politely told her that my baby’s breastfed most of the time, so I didn’t need many bottles. Then, she started persuading me to buy a container for storing formula milk. Huh? She still didn’t get what I meant.

But never mind, I was too busy to explain anyway. Maybe not many mothers pump their milk there, but only nurse the babies in the rooms. I’m glad that they provide rooms which are confortable for nursing or pumping, and at least I don’t have to pump in the toilet while shopping!
