Faster...

2012-02-08T01:51:00.002+08:00

Me and my dear husband is kinda left with 42 days till our lil baby daughter meets us. We will be having a "family" and not just "you and me" anymore. Excited to meet our lil one yet at the same time i kinda feel a lil sad that it's no longer the 2 of us. If you get what i mean, it's more or less like a "freedom" kinda thingy when it's just the 2 of us.

Okay, so i'm the only one feeling this way cuz hubs can't wait to expand this family. He told me this 9 long months of wait is equivalent to 9 years and we're still counting down. Each day is like a week to him. He just can't wait to meet our "creation" that he claimed is gonna look like him. Lol...

Honestly, i can't wait to wake up "unpregnant" and light! I can't wait to not having to run to the toilet to pee every half an hour. I can't wait to get back my appetite. I can't wait for my hormones to go back to normal. I can't wait to work out. I can't wait to shake my bootie. All in all i just can't wait to be my comfortable self once again.

It's the last leg.. and it's the most uncomfortable period where all preggies will tell you it's the worse and suffering part till the baby arrives. If you ask me if i'm ready, i'll most probably tell you not. Really! Of course i'm gonna take good care of my lil one, this you never have to worry... not that i don't want her. Lol... But it probably just haven't got into me yet till i "see/meet" our lil daughter.

Till then, i guess i'd most probably never understand the feeling of a mother. The feeling of relieve upon seeing your own baby after a hard day of work. I'm still not there yet. So in the mean time, the only feeling that i feel is nothing fulfilling but "uncomfortable-ness" only! Seriously i can't imagine the labour pain that will be coming upon me in less than 43 days time!!! And i can tell you honestly that i'm f_*king SCARED!!!

We've gotten the crib ready. We've prepared our lil baby's clothes and cloth nappies. Yes, we'll be using the cloth nappies cuz it's the best!!! Of course not very convenient but lucky i have the maid to help me wash those nappies. And am i breast feeding?! I really don't know! Erm... will breastfeed if i'm able to produce enough milk?! Yup that will be the way i guess.

Been having loose bowels lately and realize that it ain't food poisoning at all. Went online to do some research and found out that most of the preggies will experience this before labour. Maybe my time is near. I haven't even pack my hospital bag yet! *Roll eyes*

Gonna go in for the ultrasound scan and check up this friday again. Probably will pack my hospital bag after that. Saturday i'm going in for a Maternity photoshoot. I can't wait for this week to be over. Oh did i mention that my appetite got worse?! *Sigh*

I believe my previous 8 months blog post hasn't been pleasant (okay, not as though i write the most interesting thing in the first place either, lol...) but bear with me for the last 43 days or so. It's really gonna be over soon.

PS: The anxious, enthusiastic, excited father-to-be wants to go to Kiddy Palace the moment we wake up tomorrow!!! Sometimes i really wonder, is he the husband or am i the husband instead!!! The husband is 999999999 times more eager about the delivery than the pregnant woman herself!!! Lol.

Poisoned

2012-02-01T00:55:00.000+08:00

I thought i've recovered from that annoying food poisoning. The watery stool subsided so i stopped taking the charcoal. Anyway the charcoal has got only 2 tabs left. Thinking that i'm fine since there's no more pain in my tummy, i started my milk intake with half boiled eggs and cheese!!! Sorry i just have to!!! I've deprived my lil unborn baby inside of me for a few days without my prenatal vitamins and i went on a few days with poor appetite with low nutritional value. I felt really guilty!

I really thought i was fine and recovered. Alas... i woke up to extreme stomach pain!!! So bad that i shot outta my bed and rushed to the toilet. And i no i didn't "poo" i "pee" with at the rear!!! Yes, i was literally excreting water from the arse!!! And that "feeling" damned was awful i tell you!!! You can never imagine how much water i let out!

And there i sat for a full 30 minutes and no kidding!!! I washed my poor arse and went back to my room and wake the husband. He looked totally stunned and i believe that he wasn't even awake yet just that his eyes were open for that few minutes. I took charcoal and told him that i wasn't feeling too well. The diarrhea caused me to be weak in the knees and i could literally see stars too.

Feeling extremely weak and feverish, i lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep. I can feel gas in my stomach and i swear i dare not even fart! I'm serious! Cuz i'm afraid that if i fart, it wouldn't be just smelly gas that comes out, it's gonna be water!!! Lol.

Anyway, the charcoal seemed to have worked wonders. I didn't poo for today and yes i guess i'll really have to avoid dairy products for the new few days even if i feel all better already. I can't risk it. Anything may trigger labor. I'm left with 49 days!

Our lil precious baby girl needs to stay in my tummy at least till the 37th weeks. I'm currently 33 weeks. Any time from 37 weeks is the crucial period as i may go into labor since baby is full term at 37 weeks. Our lil one has been really active and she's been kicking me really hard. We can't wait to see her...

PS: Burping stomach acid and it taste like f_*k!!!

Enthusiastic Husband

2012-01-27T01:34:00.000+08:00

Woke up to extreme tummyache! Imagine serious food poisoning and gas. I dragged myself and my excess baggage on me to the toilet and sat for the next 30 minutes in great pain! I can't help it but to imagine and think that labor is gonna be 999999999 times worse than this! My imagination ran wild in the cubicle. I started to feel like vomitting. And that shook me back to reality.

Okay, i'm still sitting on the toilet seat in pain. One moment i was forcing all the shit to come out the next i just feel so much like vomitting! This has gotta be food poisoning, I thought it went away 2 days ago. Alas it came back. Damned let me tell you, food poisoning is already painful when i ain't pregnant but being pregnant makes tummyache so many time worse i tell you.

After bombarding the toilet, i limped back to my room and sat on the bed starting to feel worse. I felt tired and was suddenly sensitive to daylight. Any form of lights! I can't even stare into my Iphone without feeling bad. I need to close my eyes. I need to lie down. I took Charcoal pills and decided to lie down and i just drifted back to sleep. Feeling extremely weak.

I got up 2 hours later feeling slightly better, Phew!!! But i couldn't really eat anything much today. I stopped my prenatal vitamins for today as my tummy ain't taking anything well. Anything will just give me upset stomach. That bad! Sigh... I feel so guilty depriving my lil baby inside of me with nutrition. But i really cannot take the risk to let this condition worsen. At this last stage of pregnancy, anything can induce our baby to come out. I wouldn't wanna take the risk. She needs to stay in there till at least 37 weeks at least. I'm currently 32 weeks exactly.

My dear husband was freaking excited about the baby's cot and kept on pestering me to allow him to assemble them and get it into our room. He told me by hook or by crook he's gonna get it done by tonight. He was thinking about it the whole day! Lol. Anxious Daddy to be. He's so cute and it's so amusing to watch his enthusiastic expression. Priceless!!!

He didn't even had dinner and was so happy up till now at 1:12am he's still not hungry!!! The photos above was taken at about 9:45 pm!!! Hahaha. He was yakking and yakking away about the decorations and stuff. Now this man of mine finally sat down quietly beside me watching some thai reality show. Peace quiet at last!

My mum and me couldn't stand him. Lol. He's super enthusiastic and engrossed with the baby's stuff. We were laughing at his anxiousness. Cute!!! I'm the one who has the baby inside of me for the past 8 months but he's the one feeling more excited that i do. How ironic. My mum told me he's gonna love his children so much!!! Lol...

Got our Ultrasound scan and check up later at 2:30 pm. Today we're gonna have the Growth Scan to determine if i'm able to go for natural delivery or the C Section. Gonna do another lab test. Woah, my OB/Gynae is so detail and thorough!!! Most of my friends who went to others doesn't need to go through so many test. Good thing is all my results were good. Lucky me.

Mum said it's good to go through all those test so that you can be sure that you and the baby is safe. There's no harm going through all these. Extra test means extra cash. Having a baby is sure expensive! I'm gonna deliver at Mount Alvernia Hospital and we were invited for a hospital tour. We still haven't found the time to go and honestly i actually didn't wanna go. Phobia can!

Shall stop here today. Good night folks.

PS: 54 days and counting down...

9 More Weeks!!!

2012-01-25T01:19:00.000+08:00

I had a really good sleep last night and damned it does feels good!!! And so we're into Day 3 of Chinese New Year!!! Now that's fast! Why?! Cuz it's nearing my due date. I have 58 more days to go and the fear is creeping nearer and nearer.

I'm currently 31 weeks and 7 days pregnant. Almost 8 months pregnant?! Still no water retention yet and the weight increase is not much. More or less just growing at the belly. Keeping my fingers cross, there's still no stretchmarks to be seen. My mum don't have them and neither did my sis. Hopefully i won't get them too!!! =) But i have painful feet!!! At a specific spot!!! I can't seem to stand for long and i have sore lower back too.

My dear sweet husband massaged my painful feet for me. He's so sweet!!!

We are expecting a really active baby that kicks me like crazy. Hubby was telling me just nights ago that our lil baby "kicked" him. I was sound asleep and was hugging my hubby, then lil baby was active while i was asleep and kicked really hard. So hard that he could literally "feel" it. Haha, he was so amazed and was so inquisitive the next morning. Bombarded me with loads of questions. Lol!!!

The below are my updates on my baby bump at 31 weeks 5 days. Damned are them uncomfortable!!!

See how much my baby bump has grown...

It's a baby girl inside!!!

Now you have a clearer picture.

Gonna go for the once every 2 weeks ultrasound scan and check up in 2 days time. Woah, that's fast!!! During the next visit, i've gotta go for "Growth Scan" and another Lab test to determine if i'm going for natural delivery or the C section. Being pregnant in Singapore is so costly!!!

PS: Oh God, i'm so afraid of labor!!! How???!!

Happy Lunar New Year!!!

2012-01-23T23:00:00.000+08:00

Happy Lunar New Year!!! I had a super busy week previously and was really busy till the New Year Eve even!!! Yes!!! Me and my hubby are so worn out up till today cuz we've been up really early and been sleeping late. Today is the first day of Lunar New Year and we were expected to wake up early to get ready and go visiting. We did. So i guess we can finally "rest" after tonight. Yay!!!

This Lunar New Year was welcomed by lots of rain. It was raining cats and dogs into the night during eve of Lunar New Year. It was raining this afternoon too. This is suppose to be the "Water Dragon" Year so i guess it's a good omen to be raining huh?! Lol.

Feeling so tired at this moment, i won't be here for long i guess. I am really feeling the "stress" on my belly. It's getting bigger and bigger, day after day. The strain on my feet and back is killing me. Not forgetting my bladder! Arh... At least i know that i can rest from now till my estimated delivery date i'm more than happy.

Didn't have much appetite today. I woke up at 5 am with intense stomach pain and realize that i am down with food poisoning! I wonder what i ate. Took charcoal pill and the pain subside a little. Didn't bombard the toilet ever since.

Damned!!! I can't even concentrate typing now. Gotta go... will be back really soon. I promise.

PS Think hubs caught food poisoning too... poor thing.

Just another day

2012-01-09T02:22:00.000+08:00

I managed to wake up 2 hours earlier today to go work on my dressmaking skills. Haha. It was a long and busy day. Raining on and off. The amazing thing is i wasn't sleepy this whole day. Not sleepy now too. So hyper. Just ate dinner. Had beef and potatoes. Now i'm so full i feel like vomitting!

This morning my dear husband let out a loud shriek and that woke me up!!! He was talking to my tummy and i was like -_-"" Lol, how weird. Too anxious to see his lil baby daughter, he can't wait. So i asked him what's up with the shrieking... He looked like an excited 5 year old lil boy exclaiming,"Darling, your stomach is so big today!" And i looked down and got a shocked! Indeed!!! It grew so big overnight! You may probably think that we are bullshitting but just ask a mother and she'll tell you such things does happen overnight. We just "pop" really!

I look like a darn penguin and am starting to have difficulties walking. Pain in my bladder every day and especially night. Nope not UTI for sure. My lil rascal is "slamming" herself on my bladder! My monthly ultrasound scan and check up has shortened to twice a month check ups. So that means i'll be going in to see the OB/Gynae once every 2 weeks. The next one will be on the 13th. =)

We can't wait for our lil baby to be out. I don't know if we'll make good parents but imma teach my kid/kids in future some really important things. They MUST follow regardless of whatever... Imma list out

1. Respect

- They must address the elderly/senior

2. Manners

- You better be greeting the grandmother/father/uncles/aunties. Not depending on her/his mood. I'm sure you see kids nowadays being so rude and not greeting their own family members and the parents got the cheeks to laugh it off by saying,"Ohh, he/she's in a bad mood."

3. Sharing

- Sharing of her/his toys with siblings/cousins other kids.

Wow, it's 2:20 am and i need to wake up early to learn more skills for dressmaking. The dear sweet husband is waiting for some cuddle... Need to go... Good night. =)

PS: Dear you...One of the most painful things in life is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. I seriously think that you should really sit down and ask yourself when was the last time someone told you that they loved you just the way you are, and that what you think and how you feel matters? When was the last time someone told you that you did a good job, or took you to some place, simply because they know you feel happy when you’re there? When was the last time that ‘someone’ was YOU?! You are you after all and you decide your future. In anyway i really do hope you are happy.

Dressmaking

2012-01-07T23:46:00.000+08:00

Rule number 1: Never attempt to be a smart aleck and down plenty of water 2 hours before bedtime!!! I got it real bad last night!!! Didn't manage to sleep a wink till 9am in the morning and woke up at 2pm! I dragged myself off the bed!!! Lil baby's been "slamming" herself on my bladder starting from last night!

It is painful and i keep on feeling the urge to go pee. The feeling is somewhat like a replica of Urinary tract infection but it's not. I just hate that feeling. Just imagine you having a full bladder and someone keep on "punching" on your bladder. How do you feel? Yes, that's the same feeling!

I'm going in Dressmaking lately. Learning how to make dresses and alterations. Will be venturing into this business at the same time coming May. I think i found "love" in it. It's relaxing and it trains your patience too. And just like customizing mobile phone covers, whenever i complete a job, i felt the sense of achievement.

Although i'm not an expert yet but i've accomplished a few "assignments" and had satisfied customers! =) Haha. I'm trying to wake up earlier to go master more skills. I'm not trying to find excuses for myself but i find myself having great difficulties getting up as i need to pee every 30 minutes throughout the night lately. I only manage to sleep at 9am everyday. I wonder why. Think that it's rather common among preggers.

Ooh... i have good news!!! I am actually feeling hungry...like finally!!! =) Yay!!! Ever since i got pregnant, i've lost my appetite. I don't eat more than usual and it's so sad when i see people enjoying food but i cannot. Torturing.

Been getting hunger pangs in the middle of the night. Gonna stock up the fridge tomorrow. I totally forgot to do so today. Was busy with dressmaking! With pregnancy brain, i really do hope that i can remember to go tomorrow. Let's monitor another night to see if the hunger pangs still comes. Keeping my fingers cross, i hope it does. =) I'm such a glutton.

PS: Sometimes you just have to live not caring what some people may think of you, shake off the drama, and prove to YOURSELF that you’re better than they think you are.

Night Safari + Singapore Flyer

2012-01-07T01:52:00.001+08:00

When my brother was back from Australia for holiday, we had a good time at Night Safari and Singapore Flyer. Our virgin trip to both!!!


28 weeks pregnant.

We didn't expect that our Night Safari to be so crowded! We got a shocked!!! My brother's good wife Jasmine was so thoughtful and told us to go grab some bite and leave the queuing of tickets to her. Speechless. She's just so awesome. Check out the crowd!

And we settled for some burgers.

As you know "Night" Safari is in the night and we can't capture much photos too.

It's a shame we missed the animal show. But we did had a good time though... We went to Singapore Flyer too!!!

This photo was taken from hubby's Iphone

Check out what this lovely couple is doing...

Sincerely appreciate what my sister-in-law did for us. She's so sweet to pay for our tickets. That's so nice of her.

Ohh, by the way it's past twelve already right?! It's officially the 7th of January and it's my brother Ryan's birthday!!! He's no longer here in Singapore and went back to Australia already. But i am sure he will be well taken care of by his good thoughtful wifey! =)

Have the happiest birthday... Have a blast!!! Wishes from Singapore...

PS: I need to pee...

Ranting

2012-01-03T03:20:00.001+08:00

I can feel a "pressure" down there whenever i bend forward and i only have 79 days to go before labor. I can no longer see my vajayjay but could feel that she's all swollen all the time. Too much information?! Ohh it's really time you get use to it!!! Baah... I am starting to loose my balance lately and wonders if that's got anything to do with the heavy belly that's growing everyday. It's the only place that put on weight and nowhere else. Probably imbalance?! I can't even wash anywhere below my torso myself everytime i shower. My husband is doing the job for me. =) Haa, lucky... if not in no time my legs will probably start to grow mushrooms.

I know i have never stop ranting about how hard it is. Bear with me, i have less than 3 months to go. This is my 3rd trimester and it's the last one. The hardest time and most torturing part of pregnancy where preggers heads to loo and pee almost every half an hour and damned... tell me how am i suppose to stay asleep the whole night. Oh, maybe i shouldn't be so greedy... let me rephrase myself... How am i suppose to have a good ~~8 hours~~ or even 3 hours of sleep straight without waking up and dragging myself off to the toilet?!

See, i need to pee now!!! And how annoying can it get?! Things just doesn't seem to be fine fine when a person loses sleep, they probably go mad. I will not find excuses for myself if you were to say that i am f*_king lazy cuz i wake up in the late afternoon!!! I can't help it! But i do hope that you can judge only when you've been through countless of consecutive sleepless nights. It's just not easy at least for me.

Well, if you still think that i'm bullshitting and that i'm just plain lazy then so be it. May you be f_*ked and get pregnant soon so that you'll know how the hell i feel or if you're a guy, i hope that your other half got f_*ked by you and got pregnant then you'll really understand how the hell i feel. But of course all pregnancy is different. Maybe you are the ~~unlucky~~ lucky one who get away with it! Who knows?!

Been having rather bad morning sickness for the past 3 days that i need to take medication. And that medicine makes me drowsy thus sleeps longer??? But it doesn't stops me from the toilet trips. Just how sickening it is. I am honestly, seriously considering getting a potty and leave it in my room. No joke!

I'll just end it short here i guess. I'll try to be a better person and wake up earlier tomorrow to go help my mother at the shop. I hope i can. I really wish i can. =)

PS: The living room is still not the same... guess i need some time.

This New Year

2012-01-02T01:57:00.000+08:00

December just ended within a blink of an eye. Too fast i guess. My brother from Australia came back and we had so much time bonding. We watched movies. We played games on PS3. We went to Night Safari and even Singapore Flyer. His good wife paid for our tickets! How sweet of her. It was fun and it will be a good memory to us 10 years down the road when we look back. All the good times ended and it's time for him to go back to Australia and i guess i won't be seeing him till 2013 when we go to Australia again.

In this short month of December, i've learn many things from him. He gave me advice and he encouraged me in many different ways. I appreciate his help on setting up my new lappie for me and teaching me how to download certain stuff and how to cope with things that i don't know. I've also learn that Calcium inhibits Iron absoption and know when should i take whatever that's necessary. He's someone that take the time to really share what he knew and learn. He will never fail to help me whenever i ask. I love him so much.

It's so sad that we're living in different place on earth and that now that he's going back to Australia and i know that i can no longer come home to see him lying on the sofa in the living room inviting me to sit down and chit chat with him just like how it was for the past 30 days. We're all grown up and married. We lead different lives. But it kinda saddens me that he is leaving later in the morning.

I'm already missing his knocks on my door telling me to wake up and join him for games etc. Missing having lunch and dinner with him when he'll talk and talk about nutrition. Missing his crankiness. I just felt a sense of "lost" all of a sudden. Just like i know that i'll be waking up from tomorrow onwards to an empty living room without all his notes and stuff lying around the table. That kinda "cold" and quiet/emptiness just got me sobbing really hard now. My brother, is an amazing person. I'm already missing his presence.

I don't know how to express my feelings but all i could say is, it's just like i've lost a "part" of me. I'm so glad that he has a very good wife by his side and i know that his wife takes care of him very well. Nothing to worry about. Just miss his overall presence that's all.

Today we celebrated his birthday in advance. His actually falls on the 7th of January but by then he's already back in Australia. Yesterday, my good dad and husband drove me to city area to search for his present. He didn't ask for anything or expects anything from us. I remembered when we were casual talking when he just came back early December, he told me about him wearing formal shirt but yet matches it with a digital watch. That was when i knew that a watch will be a really good birthday present for him this year.

We walked and we walked in search of a watch that will be "suitable" for him. You see, this brother of mine doesn't really wear certain colors *hints from his cute wife Jasmine* like black, pink etc etc. And he's a really down to earth homely guy. So i was thinking nothing too fanciful, something that will be able to match his daily dress sense and also certain formal meetings. Dad, husband and me had a hard time deciding.

We either found one that is too formal or another that's too funky. All doesn't suit his character. Not an easy job and refused to surrender we finally picked a grey watch from Swatch which have a 2 year international warranty. That will be great since he resides in Australia. The guy at the counter was telling me that anytime he need to change the battery or there's any scratches, he can just go to any Swatch counter, any part of the world and get it fixed for free for the next 2 years. Me and my dad were grinning immediately!!! Lol.

You know, i have the world most spontaneous dad... i tell you!!! Damned supportive every single time i needed his support. His goofy smile and chuckles/snortings are just too cute to describe. And so my dad also found that this present from us will match my brother. Without a second thought or a look at the price tag, dad settled the bill and we left for a quick beverage and need to rush back to shop to help my mum.

Well anyway, we could see that he really appreciate and love our gift to him. I am also glad that i did not waste my December away. I have photos but have yet to consolidate them all together and upload. The next few weeks i reckon, will be getting busy as the Lunar New Year is nearing...

Greetings and a big hello 2012!!! It was a long 2011 for me and finally it ended! 2012 is gonna be a year of changes and changes. It's gonna be a real challenging one. We're opening our own kids apparels boutique by May and that means that we need to travel overseas soon after i give birth to our baby daughter in March.

Went for the monthly ultrasound scan and check up at 28 weeks 3 days (7 months pregnant already) our lil baby is weighing 1 kg exactly. Mummy's weighing at 52.5 kg currently and that's a 2.5 kg increase since month 6 and a 6.5 kgs gradual increase before i was pregnant. Okay, i know... sounds too little to you huh?! When most of the mommies have already put on 15 to 20 kgs at my stage. My OB/Gynae isn't worried so f_*k it okay. Haa... He told me everything is perfectly fine and lil baby is in the pink of health.

Currently my estimated delivery date is 22th of march +/- 7 days and he told me that my lil baby should weigh around 2.7 kgs and less than 3. Good size. Lil baby has since moved from breech to cephalic position. Guess she's getting ready to come to this sinful world. She's been moving alot and waking me up. I have hell loads of difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep. I need to pee every 30 minutes and it's really disturbing.

Officially in my third trimester which is the last, i have right about 79 more days till she comes. If you ask me whether i'm excited? I guess i'm more scared of labor which kills the excitement! My husband on the other hand can't wait to meet his precious gem.

So what's up for this new year's resolution??? Things that i need to do are...Start spending time with the right people. Like people who love and appreciate you, who encourage you to improve in healthy and exciting ways. The ones who make you feel more alive, and not only embrace who you are now, but also embrace and embody who you want to be, unconditionally.

Start facing my problems head on. It isn’t your problems that define you, but how you react to them and recover from them. Problems will not disappear unless you take action. Do what you can, when you can, and acknowledge what you’ve done. It’s all about taking baby steps in the right direction, inch by inch. These inches count, they add up to yards and miles in the long run.

Start making my own happiness a priority. My needs matter. Why? Cuz if you don’t value yourself, look out for yourself, and stick up for yourself, you’re sabotaging yourself.

Start noticing and living in the present!!! Right now is the only moment guaranteed to me. Right now is life. So i should stop thinking about how great things will be in the future. Stop dwelling on what did or didn’t happen in the past. And then be in the ‘here and now’ and experience life as it’s happening.

Start valuing the lessons that my mistakes taught me. Mistakes are the stepping stones of progress. If we’re not failing from time to time, then we’re not trying hard enough and thus not learning. Appreciate that i am pushing myself, learning, growing and improving. As Marc the writer said... Significant achievements are almost invariably realized at the end of a long road of failures. One of the ‘mistakes’ you fear might just be the link to your greatest achievement yet.

Start enjoying the things i already have. The problem with many of us is that we think we’ll be happy when we reach a certain level in life. Unfortunately, it takes awhile before you get there, and when you get there you’ll likely have a new destination in mind. You’ll end up spending your whole life working toward something new without ever stopping to enjoy the things you have now. So take a quiet moment every morning when you first awake to appreciate where you are and what you already have.

Start creating my own happiness. If you're waiting for someone else to make you happy, you’re missing out. Smile because you can. Choose happiness. Be the change you want to see in the world. Be happy with who you are now, and let your positivity inspire your journey into tomorrow. Happiness is often found when and where you decide to seek it. If you look for happiness within the opportunities you have, you will eventually find it. But if you constantly look for something else, unfortunately, you’ll find that too.

Choose friends who show you love and respect. People who reciprocate your kindness and commitment.

Start competing against an earlier version of yourself. Be inspired by others, appreciate others, learn from others, but know that competing against them is a waste of time. You are in competition with one person and one person only and that's yourself. You are competing to be the best you can be. Aim to break your own personal records.

Start looking for the silver lining in tough situations. When things are hard, and you feel down, take a few deep breaths and look for the silver lining. The small glimmers of hope. Remind yourself that you can and will grow stronger from these hard times. And remain conscious of your blessings and victories. All the things in your life that are right. Focus on what you have, not on what you haven’t.

Start forgiving yourself and others. We’ve all been hurt by our own decisions and by others. And while the pain of these experiences is normal, sometimes it lingers for too long. We relive the pain over and over and have a hard time letting go. Forgiveness is the remedy. It doesn’t mean that i'm erasing the past, or forgetting what happened. It means that i'm letting go of the resentment and pain, and instead choosing to learn from the incident and move on with my life.

Start noticing the beauty of small moments. Instead of waiting for the big things to happen. Find happiness in the small things that happen every day. Little things like having a quiet cup of coco in the early morning, or the delicious taste and smell of a homemade meal, or the pleasure of sharing something you enjoy with someone else, or holding hands with your partner. Noticing these small pleasures on a daily basis makes a big difference in the quality of your life.

Start accepting things when they are less than perfect. Remember, ‘perfect’ is the enemy of ‘good.’ One of the biggest challenges for people who want to improve themselves and improve the world is learning to accept things as they are. Sometimes it’s better to accept and appreciate the world as it is, and people as they are, rather than to trying to make everything and everyone conform to an impossible ideal. No, you shouldn’t accept a life of mediocrity, but learn to love and value things when they are less than perfect.

Start actively nurturing your most important relationships. Bring real, honest joy into your life and the lives of those you love by simply telling them how much they mean to you on a regular basis. You can’t be everything to everyone, but you can be everything to a few people. Decide who these people are in your life and treat them like royalty.

Even when times are tough, it’s always important to keep things in perspective. Remember that i didn’t go to sleep hungry last night. I didn’t go to sleep outside. I had a choice of what clothes to wear this morning. I hardly broke a sweat today. I didn’t spend a minute in fear. I have access to clean drinking water. I have access to medical care. I have access to the Internet. I still can read. i must remember to be grateful for all the things that i do have.

PS: Thanks for the list of inspiring things that i need to do writer Marc.

Pregnant at 26 weeks

2011-12-24T01:01:00.000+08:00

Lately i've been having difficulties getting outta my bed. Tummy is weighing down on me and it's creating some sorta pressure. I'm soon going into my third trimester. Not yet though. As of today i'm 27 weeks + 2 days. Every hour i have to get out of the freaking bed and go pee. And this goes on throughout the whole freaking night!!!

I started having backache. It got really sore that i have to lie down. And i guess i'm starting to experience early contractions which they call Braxton Hicks. My lil baby's bones already hardened and her kicks are more forceful which will most of the time wake me up from my sleep. Going through pregnancy is already so hard and painful i wonder how bad can labour be.

Enough said. The lil one is kicking on my bladder again! I need to go pee!!! -_-"

But before that... Share some photos when i was 26 weeks pregnant.

The last 2 photos is my brother. Oh just how i'm missing him.

PS: Pee, peed and pee again.

Happy birthday to my husband...

PS: Wishes from us, me and our unborn baby daughter. =)

Art

2011-12-17T15:05:00.000+08:00

I've been doing up my customer's custom made Iphone cover and I'm proud to say that i've completed the job finally. It's done for collection. Sense of accomplishment filled me deep down. Every time when i finish a piece of art. Here it is...

I've started on another piece of work. My brother Ryan gave me a really good suggestion and i guess i should really consider investing in a good magnifying lamp. This way it will not strain my already bad eye sight. Yup, perhaps you don't know but i have a really high myopia of approximately 1000 each eyes. Lucky thing is i do not have astigmatism. Am seriously considering the new generation of Lasik after my child birth.

Been having vivid dreams and keep on dreaming that i'm in labour. Yes, i have phobia and probably i'm thinking too much about it. I dreamt that i was in labour and in pain. Water bag broke and then i got epidural. All of a sudden i am half paralyzed. Not able to push and can't feel anything from waist down. It's a scary feeling. And every single time i'd just jolt outta bed like that. -_-"

Should be catching a movie with the husband tonight. He wants to watch Mission Impossible 5. He goes gaga over Tom cruise. Lol. I ain't a great fan of him though but am okay watching. If everything goes right and time allow us for a movie, we'll sure go. Till then... Have a great day ahead.

PS: 你知道吗？你种什么果果，将来你就会吃什么果果。

Downs

2011-12-13T02:33:00.000+08:00

Had alot of mixed feelings boiling inside of me. My husband is so sad watching me like this. He's not saying anything much as he knew my stubborn character well. All that he can do is to pat me on my head (of course not like a dog) give me frequent kisses on my cheeks and lips throughout the day. He's blue when i'm blue. He's more painful when i'm in pain. Sometimes i feel that i'm too self centred. He always suffers more than me. But please do not get me wrong because i swear that i love him so much. I just feel so bad that i disappoint him at times. Teerak, i love you always ya.

Oh by the way, it was his birthday yesterday since it's past twelve midnight. We went for a wonderful dinner and i will post pictures as soon as i can. My brother Ryan and Winnie joined us for food and we had a wonderful time bonding. Dad wanted to trash with us but couldn't make it. What a waste.

Anyway, it's finally down to 99 days till our lil baby daughter's birth day. Like many other first time mummies i'm excited but i am more scared. I fear labour. Fear the unknown. Fear the uncertainties. Fear the changes. Too many unfounded fear inside which words could never describe. I wonder if this is anxiety. And i know that all these fear is not good nor healthy for me and baby.

Tummy is growing fast day after day and getting up from bed is starting to get difficult. And because lil baby's bone is hardening and she's almost fully developed, every single movement from her just gets me feeling rather "uncomfortable" especially when she treat my bladder as her punching bag. Oh just how bad that feel every single time. The moment she does that, i'll just shoot up and rush to the toilet to pee. I have to. The feeling is somewhat similar to a urinary tract infection but yet it's not. That urgency to release every 2 hours throughout the night makes me sleepless. Sigh...

I realize that i haven't been vomitting already. I'm going into the 7 months of my pregnancy already so i shouldn't be feeling as nauseous as the past. But i still do get sick on certain days though. For most mummies, morning sickness normally weans off by the 4th month but i just got better recently. Late bloomer i am huh?!

Suddenly, i have no mood to do anything. My mind just went blank for the past 5 minute. I was just staring blankly into the computer screen at a loss of words. I froze. Damned i gotta go. Go hug my husband and snuggle in bed under the cosy quilt. Time for some loving. Good night.

PS: Never be too sure of things in life as it can be really unpredictable. Never despise nor ever belittle for you will never know what the future may bring. It's still too early to make judgement that's all that i can tell you.

Back!!!

2011-12-11T02:09:00.000+08:00

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM BACK IN SINGAPORE!!! Finally... I'm so tired and worn out but yet unable to fall asleep. No idea why though. Anyway, hubby bought for me an ASUS (white) laptop before we left for our trip and we went hunting around for it in Funan with my 2 younger brothers and Winnie. Long story short, i have yet to set up the whole lappie thingy and will do so in days to come. Oh by the way, this is my first virgin post using my new lappie! =)

I won't be talking much now as my brain seems to be "disabled" for the moment. Going to rest now... Good night all.

PS: I love my own pink room still.

Healthy baby!!! =)

2011-12-02T23:53:00.002+08:00

And so we had our 6th month ultrasound scan and my lil baby girl is growing well and in a healthy average size she ain't measuring small either so stop all those nonsense about me not eating enough meals or whatever!!! I don't need no f_*king durians okay?!!! My doctor told me that i'm in the pink of health and all measurements are good!!!

I'm 50kg today and weight gain has been rather gradual and constant which is a good thing. Yes i have to admit that i didn't put on much. Standing at 1.67metres, my initial weight was 46kg and throughout this 6 months, it's been 2kgs for the first 3 months and another 2 kgs during my next 3. So far it's 4kgs in total. Doctor is happy and told me he isn't even worried. He estimated that our lil baby should be around 3kgs at birth. =)

And i've got the green light to fly!!! Yay... i was still rather worried that my doctor would stop me but he told me that i'm healthy and fit enough to fly. Phew... lucky!!! So we're flying on the 6th. Everything's confirmed!!! Going baby shopping soon!!!

PS: Wonder how some people can be so selfish at times... Karma will bite you!!!

Kids

2011-12-02T01:55:00.000+08:00

Officially 24 weeks pregnant which is 6 months exactly!!! These few nights i could really feel the baby growing from inside. I am uber uncomfy and i can't lie on my left, right or back! I have serious heartburn too. Even while i sleep. I'll wake up every 2 hours to pee and everytime lil baby kicks. I am starting to need help getting myself up from lying position.

I have approximately another 16 weeks to full term and delivery date. I just wanna get it over and done with. It's past midnight and we have our monthly ultrasound scan later on at 10am. Paranoid as usual. Hopefully everything is fine and lil baby is growing although her mummy isn't really piling on much weight. Come to think about it, how come i never felt hungry?!

My brother from Australia is coming back for summer holiday and we're gonna spend some really quality time together. Haha... Food... food and more food!!! Can't wait for him to come back!!!

My little 2 year old niece is damned cute! She told me this today," Aunty, I give you a BIG piece of bread." And here's how "BIG" it is.

You know, kids say the darndest things. Lol. She's so little and she's been pestering me and my hubby whole day and night! She bombard us with loads of "Why" and all her imaginary stuff. Cute can! Very nosy and naughtly! Lol!!!

Alright, imma go try to lie down on my bed or i'll not wake up tomorrow for our appointment. Night.

PS: Sprinkle me with some sleepy dust quick!

Hard Rock Baby!

2011-11-29T00:01:00.000+08:00

My bestest friend came to visit me today at my shop and she came with gifts!!! So surprised!!! Berlin, my best friend of many many years bought me perfume from Vietnam and she also got a Hard Rock Cafe's Baby's Romper for our lil unborn girl. =) She's gonna be a God mummy in few months to come!!! =)

I simply love the lil baby's rompers so much! Its so cute and it's our first gift. Hubby and me haven't even started shopping for our lil baby yet. Looks like God mummy is more anxious than us! Lol! Thanks for the present Berlin... you're the best!!! Love ya loads!!! Muacks!!!

PS: Loving you love me.

Old Wives Tale NOT!!!

2011-11-28T01:08:00.000+08:00

These few days has be dreadful to me. I wake up every 7:30 am with congested itchy runny nose and have to succumb to taking medication. Then the "bitter after taste" in my mouth is back for good! Damned!!! And i won't be taking extra sugar like "Skittles" candies that i used to take back then. I have to bear with this bitterness i reckoned. Its quite hard. You'll only understand my feelings if you were once pregnant. The bitterness causes me to feel very nauseous and then i'll have zero appetite! And yes, i haven't had dinner yet and it's past midnight already. What i had today was Fresh milk for breakfast then I only ate Sushi for lunch. Ate a piece of chocolate cookie at about 9pm with loads of plain water and that's all. Still have the bitter taste! Annoying! -__-"

I know i've been complaining very much ever since i got pregnant but you must understand that it ain't a breeze for someone like me. Unlike some people out there, they have cravings and eat alot. I don't. I have no idea why. If i can actually eat 3 meals a day, i'd already be a happy girl. I'm already going into 6th months pregnant... maybe i'll eat better after that?! I don't know. Lol.

I dread being pregnant. Honestly! People scrutinize every single action i take. As though i'm always wrong. Damned. And let me list out the things that i loathe!!! I am just not enjoying every single minute and second! I hate the hormones + migraines + itchy nose + no appetite + inconvenience + full bladder + backaches + Morning sickness + feeling handicap + heartburns + pole danceless + gases + extra cervical fluid there + constipations + painful boobies + dry eyes = uncomfortable being pregnant!!!

Most of all I hate it when people tell me "Are u even pregnant?! Where's ur tummy?! How can you be so selfish to not eat enough? Look, your baby isn't growing (Ya right, like they got bionic eyes can see through my tummy! My doctor told me my baby is in the correct size) *roll eyes* Why are you still so skinny?! Why do you get yourself pregnant at such young age (hello Aunty, I'm not young) *roll eyes* Oh, you shouldn't do this, that, eat this, that, wear tank top, color hair, do manicure n pedicure, make up!!! Arghh!!!! Enough can?!!!

Don't come and expect that i have to "follow" through what you've went through when you were pregnant! Don't come and start this with me "Ohh, when i was pregnant i.....so you must....." That is annoying! Look, i really don't mind anyone "sharing" their experiences or anything but please DO NOT DICTATE your way through. Bring your dictatorship to somewhere else. Do not tell me what i "must do" cuz everyone is different. Not unless i ask for your advice. -__-"

Don't even mention anything about old wives tale to me because i seriously don't believe in them!!! Really!!! Don't tell me that i should shave off my baby's hair at 1 month cuz it's gonna "grow" back thicker! Don't tell me that i shouldn't have sex throughout pregnancy and that my husband should not ejaculate inside me as it will cause my baby to have sperm stuck on her head during delivery. (no sex is plainly impossible! I'll probably die if i go sexually deprive for a week.) Don't tell me that i shouldn't wash my hair or bathe for 1 full month after delivery or i'll have "air" going inside me and that's not good for me! What f_*king nonsense is that?! Don't tell me that pineapples causes miscarriage because they don't! Don't tell me that oranges causes phlegm in newborn. Don't tell me that ingesting soy sauce will cause me to have dark skinned baby. Don't tell me that by eating mutton my baby will suffer from epilepsy/fits in future! Don't tell me that durians are good for me. Damned they are loaded with fats and sugar with zero nutrients!!! And the freaking list will go on and on if i don't stop here. Just don't tell me anything about old wives tale. Thanks!!!

So, you see.... i'm honestly surprise and taken aback when i see so many young mothers believing blindly in those craps. C'mon, we have technology and science. Duh... I think if you wanna believe in those nonsense, you might as well don't even own a mobile phone due to possible radiation exposure. As least there's some fact that radiation is no good but no prove that radiation from phone will cause us to have deforms. So yea... just my thoughts of the day. =)

PS: 1:02am wide awake!!! *I ate my dinner while blogging as hubby spoon fed me while i typed. Ate duck meat with ginger! ~Wink

Recent Bump

2011-11-24T00:09:00.000+08:00

I woke up to good news this early morning that my hubby has acquired the approval of the Spouse Pass and it's been extended longer than the previous. We got a year! Happy like f_*k!!! And i'm gonna apply for Permanent Resident for him after my lil baby girl is here. Of course i know it's not easy to be granted.

So i have a peace of mind finally to go ahead with booking for tickets to Thailand and then business trip. If this thingy still stuck there i guess i'll be left hanging in the middle of nowhere. *Deep breathe* and *Exhale*

We have our monthly check up and ultrasound scan coming up on the 4th December if my pregnant brain remembered correctly. I should be booking for the completion of formalities with the ICA on the same day. Hopefully i could get the slot then. Every time when i am due for scans or check ups, i tend to go really paranoid thinking and imagining of the impossibles. All my unfounded fear. Anyhow, i am eager to check out my weight at 6th months pregnancy.

Last night i went to sleep with slight migraine and i thought that i will wake up to a better tomorrow. But alas... it's 23:52 hours now and the migraine is still lurking. I took one panadol and it seems to ease of some tension but i still can feel the pressure at the back of my head.

Extreme downpour today over at the north side and damned it's cold. Loving the climate loathing the wetness, it's hard to please a hormones raging pregnant woman huh?! Lol. The husband told me that i was a hard to please women even before pregnancy. -______-'" Ohh... my dear Teerak ka, are you testing my pregnancy hormones cuz you're gonna get it for sure! Lol.

An update on my recent bump...

PS: Can't decide on the dates...

Ikea

2011-11-23T00:34:00.001+08:00

Hubby and I went to ICA yesterday to settle some Spouse Pass thingy. As you already know, he's not local. My dear husband is Thai. I know, he very much looked like a chinese but he's really a "khon thai" 100%!!! When he was little, he's extremely cute with brown hair. It gets me wondering how our baby will look like. I've never ever once imagine that i'll marry to a man of a different race. Haha.

Anyway, after submitting all those important documents we went to Ikea Tampines!!! I love visiting those mega furniture stores. Especially when Christmas season is near. That whole atmosphere of Christmas can be felt and i simply love the Christmas feel!!!

Walking around Ikea makes me wanna redecorate my room every single time. Haha. Yes, i am dead serious. And the baby cots and stuff are dirt cheap! If you wonder if i've gotten anything or any clothes for my lil baby girl yet my answer to you have to be NO not yet. I love to get my stuff overseas. I'm flying soon too. =)

Ikea Tampines restaurant on a Monday afternoon was extremely crowded. Hey i thought it's in the middle of nowhere?! Then where does all the students and people come from?! Just for lunch?! The queue was extremely long and we ordered a few stuff which cost more than $40. Yes!!! But i love the Swedish Beef Balls and the Diam Cake!!!

The food sure is nice and i found this interesting sign on every single table.

It says, "Clear your trays. Leave no trace." I find this really interest me. As me and hubby never fail to clear our own trays NO MATTER where we eat. KFC, Macdonalds... you name it! But this particular place here in the so called Clean and Green "Educated" Singapore actually put this sign on every table to encourage Singaporean to clear their stuff after they're done. Cool and i like this idea...

BUT....

Just how most Singaporeans like/love to criticize "Chinanese" for being dirty and uneducated, look what i've discovered!!!

All the leftovers trays lying around and this really irks me max!!! Much!!! And mind you, all these litters where left here by the so called "educated" Singaporean!!! This table was just next to mine and that couple can speak really good english!!! So was the other table and they worked in some office and they have their tags on them while lunching!!! -____-"

I wonder why is it so hard for others to clear their own tray! You were the one who ate there. I am not asking you to clear what's not yours but damned what's so hard to follow on such simple rules or maybe a campaign?! Laziness?! And i bet you've been wondering why Singaporean has grown double in size and bears a big fat butt!!! Cuz they can't even make the small effort to walk to the dustbins to clear their own tray!!!

Or obnoxious behavior?! Or simply you think that you've paid for the food thus others should clean up?! Some Singaporeans lack graciousness. And what does our school teaches us during Moral education?! Then after so many years of good education and achievements you made in school, where did it bring you to? *Roll eyes* I felt so ashamed of my own fellow Singaporeans behavior.

We spend some time walking around the mega store and i realize that my feet couldn't withstand any longer. Time to go home!!! Lol... And that was all for yesterday!!!

And as for today, i was home the whole day supervising and teaching my new maid how to get stuff done and which stuff belongs to whom. She packed up my whole wardrobe and finally after so long my room is dust free! Zero dust!!! Yay!!!

Tell me about it man, to wake up and the maid do the bed (it was poor hubby who does it in the past) and then have breakfast made ready for me. She will do everything and cook nice Indonesian food for dinner! Now i can have Thai food done by my dear hubby on some days and then Indonesian food for every other day and then mum's cooked food for weekends!!! This is life man! =)

I haven't been feeling really well latelyand honestly it was after that glucose tolerance test last week! I just puked after eating a few small cubes of chocolate and i have no idea why! I just took medicine and i will go rest soon. Last night was itchy nose and endless spells of sneezing. -_-" Then every other day i'll get tingling numb arms and legs which they call it the Carpel Tunnel Syndrome! Sounds serious right?! Lol.

Carpal tunnel syndrome usually involves the numbness and tingling in the lateral three fingers of each hand, or a burning pain in the middle and index finger and thumb. Sometimes nerves of the entire hand are blocked and the hand and even the forearm can feel numb. The name sounds like some kinda terminal disease to me. Haha...but it really is not! Between five and ten percent of women experience numbness, tingling, and in some cases burning pain, in their hands and fingers during pregnancy. This condition is most common in the morning, because of the accumulation of water overnight. Carpal tunnel syndrome becomes more pronounced as your pregnancy progresses. Carpal tunnel syndrome usually disappears postpartum which is the good news. =)

Like i've always complained... other other ladies seems to have comfortable pregnancy and i am the only one who complains through it all. I'm counting down and there's still 4 months to go. I just pray that i have a smooth pregnancy from now on. No more nauseousness and vomitting! My poor lil baby sure to suffer inside me due to my poor appetite!

PS: I'm performing a miracle... growing a person inside of me...and that's a fantastic accomplishment!

Snake & Ladder

2011-11-20T01:00:00.000+08:00

Today is such a short Saturday for me... i slept my day in. Didn't really sleep well as i'll wake up almost every 2 hours due to lil baby's kicks! They're getting more and more obvious and i can feel every single movement of hers. That leads me to being rather sleepless throughout these few nights. I just realize that i'm quite a light sleeper.

Nights are rather hard to get through lately. I can't get to fall asleep at night and that's gonna make me sleepy in the day and if i do sleep in the day then it's gonna make me sleepless at night again! -_-" Ohh... ain't easy huh?! Haha... And did i mention about my bladder? Lil baby seems to be "stepping" on it and it and that makes me rush to the toilet to pee every time! I'm sure this is gonna be another hard to get by night!

My niece and nephew came over for dinner at home and we had fun playing with the kids! Everytime i look at my little 2 year old niece i'll think of the times when i was young. Catching spiders and caterpillars with my 2 younger brothers. Cycling and rollerblading around our house making loads and loads of noises! Play in the rain at the playground! Go swimming at the pool. And within a blink of an eye, we are all grown up.

Kids nowadays no longer play with 5 stones, hopscotch, zeropoint and sandy playgrounds. They play with Iphone and Ipad!!! They no longer go to those Mama shops to buy "Sung Bao" (Flavored Ice Sticks) They have Ben and Jerrys. The only thing that i see kids still fancy is you know what?! Bubbles!!! Kids love them and so do the adults.

When my lil girl is here, imma bring her for some kite flying, built sandcastles at the beach, play board games like Snake and Ladder, teach her how to love animals. Not only throw high tech gadgets and expect her to have only computer as their only childhood memory.

If she's my only child, i would want her to be really close with her cousins. Hubby is already planning for baby number 2!!! -_____-" Damned!!! And he's thinking of a boy!!! Lol!!! Men!!! I've been having nightmares of delivery ever since!!! I dreamt that my water bag have yet to burst and i was in great pain and then suddenly sperm started oozing out from my belly button!!!! Squirting in all directions!!! Oh my God... what a dream!!! Lol!!!

Anyone realize that there's alot of November babies? Lots of my friends and relatives birthday falls on November! My dearest cousin Lee Huier birthday just passed by and it falls on the 13th of November. I made her a 100% Swarovski Crystals Iphone Casing and decorated the gift box!!!

Anyway, am really glad that she love this gift! As you can see i threw in some pink roses and plastic hearts to make this gift prettier!!! =)

Gotta go... my screen keeps appearing blue!!! I know!!! My lappie is dying on me again!!!

PS: Sick and tired of feeling so sick and tired... =) Lol...

My Maid Is Here!!!

2011-11-19T00:55:00.000+08:00

And finally my Indonesian maid arrived today!!! What a long wait. My house is dirty enough and the kitchen had been greasy for a long time! Damned she gotta clean the house for a few days i guess... Just kidding. Anyway, i'm glad that she came as it's gonna be festive season soon and that means that we're all gonna get really busy!!!

Me and hubby gotta fly overseas for our business trip next month and by then i should be 6 and a half months pregnant! I hope the airlines allow me in. Then we may be in Thailand for another business trip and to visit all our relatives who are very eager to see the "pregnant" me. I wonder if my OB/Gynae will give me the green light to fly. Then this will be my last flight overseas till my delivery of our lil baby girl. The next business trip will only resume mid April as my Estimated delivery date falls on the 22th of March 2012.

We have a new boutique coming up on May 2012 and during my last trimester before i give birth, i've got so many meetings with contractors and designers!!! I've yet to crack my brain on the floor plan and designs or themes that i want. I'm leaving it till after my December business trip.

My brother Ryan is coming to Singapore for a short holiday before he heads back to Australia again. And we will be going back there for his convocation end of 2012!!!I miss Perth Royal Show and a nice stroll along the beach!!! I need to bring my husband there!!! =)

My results from the Lab was out today. This is the 2nd time i took the Glucose Tolerance Blood Test inst 2 weeks cuz the first one was a big mistake. The nurse clocked me at the wrong timing!!! Well, did a re-test to check whether i have Gestational Diabetes or not.

The Diagnostic Values for GTT:

(Pregnant Adults)

Gestational Diabetes: Fasting >=7.0 mmol/L

Gestational Diabetes: 2 hours >=7.8 mmol/L

(Non-Pregnant Adults)

Impaired fasting glycaemia: Fasting 6.1-6.9 mmol/L

Impaired fasting glycaemia: 2 hours <7.8 mmol/L

Impaired glucose tolerance: Fasting < 7.0 mmol/L
Impaired glucose tolerance: 2 hours < 7.8-11.0 mmol/L

Diabetes Mellitus: Fasting > 7.0 mmol/L

Diabetes Mellitus: 2 hours 7.8-11.1 mmol/L

My Results: After fasting = 4.0 mmol/L
2 hours after 75grams of glucose drink = 4.2 mmol/L

And so i passed with flying colors!!! I am so happy!!!

Damned!!! My freaking lappie died on me more than 5 times in 15 minutes while i was halfway blogging! This is the 6th bloody time i come back here and right now i'm on Safe Mode!!! How pathetic can i get?!

I got so irritated now and i've decided to stop here.

PS: Still not feeling well since the Glucose Tolerance Test on Tuesday!

Popped!!!

2011-11-17T01:24:00.000+08:00

Having the worst of time bloating today and i have totally no idea why! I only had 2 meals today!!! And my lil baby is squeezing inside of me making me painful inside. One moment she'll sit on my bladder and then the next she's probably stretching up towards my heart. I'm probably dealing with what they call indigestion this whole day. I had loads of burps coming with vomit! Eww!!! -_-"

I think my tummy just really "popped" today and i officially announce that i am not able to see my pussy from today onwards. My tummy grew so fast suddenly. I just realize that i can't really see my privates! Lol!!!

Anyway, i came online to do some research on my lil baby's name. We have a few names in mind but have yet to come to a conclusion. So ya... i'm gonna go google the rest of my time before i hit the sack.

PS: In foul mood due to hormones!!! The husband's gonna suffer... hahaha...

Hello...

2011-11-14T23:57:00.000+08:00

It's almost mid November and the time seems to fly fast! Today i'm 21 weeks 5 days pregnant and that's about 5 months plus?! I still have to endure another 129 days to my due date! Pregnancy seems to be smooth sailing for lotsa people but not me. I've never enjoyed a single day expecting! Honestly! Though my morning sickness has more or less weaned off, i do get nauseous once in awhile still. Appetite is better than the previous torturing months but damned most of my preggies friends are piling loads of food per day but i could barely go beyond 3 full meals per day.

And why is that?! I'm eating as though i am not pregnant. Just like before! Nothing more nothing less. Erm... maybe i drank more milk that's all. Other than that, i'm pretty much the same. Weight has been constant for me. At 5 months pregnant, i'm weighing 49.1kg on the scale. Before pregnant i was a mere 46kg. And just so how do i keep the weight gain so constant?!

Honestly, i didn't do it on purpose i swear. I eat alot of fatty animal source. But i don't know if i can consider myself a low carb diet person. I don't really eat Bah Chor Mee, Lor Mee, Char Kway Teow, Fishball noodles, Mee goreng, Mee Siam, Mee Robus, Macdonalds but i do love KFC though, Beehoon soup, Oyster Omelette, Kways, Dunplings, Rojak, Economical noodles, Hor Fun, almost most of the things you see in the market i just don't really eat them! I don't take soft drinks at all even before i got pregnant! Erm, but occasionally i do when i have my KFC or now that i'm pregnant, i do have a few sips here and there! -__-' I just don't like market food!!!

Then what do i survive on?! Good question! If i'm at the shop, most of the time i order "Chai Fan" where i'll ask for very little rice, 2 portions of meat, egg or veggie. I hate eating out! Most of my dinner are mainly whole steam chicken without rice. I''ll eat very fat pig throttles and intestines. They are my favorite!!! I love chicken skin too!!! I'd rather get my hubby to cook for me at home! I hate the food outside! Love Japanese food much too!!! Oh did i forget to mention that i love seafood?! How can i forget?! =)

So ya, basically i just loathe the food outside. They have zero nutrients!!! Once in awhile i still do eat them but i can tell you the very last time i ate Fishball noodles etc was 3 years ago?! About there. I'm not trying to prove that i'm a very healthy person that i don't eat junk. I eat loads of rubbish too. Like cookies, chocolates, ice cream etc... Haha... Just simply, i don't take a lot of carbs and that's the fact though. =) More like a protein and animal fats kinda person when it comes to meals.

Then what did i eat this whole day?! Haha... I ate half a packet of chicken rice at 10am. Had half a piece of Garlic Naan with Mutton and my dinner was a plate of Beef and i finished my dinner with a tall glass of milk. There you go. A carnivore you have here!

Food aside. I've been experiencing my lil baby kicking inside my tummy lately. She's growing very fast recently. She'll do her Kung Fu stances in the middle of the night when i sleep and i get so sleepless most of the time. Hubby and I came to a few names but will only share when we are more sure about those names.

Starting to get really sore back pains and all. I've read that they advised pregnant women to sleep on the left, it's more comfortable that way. But damned why does it not works for me?! No matter it's on my left, right or on my back i feel tummy pressure. Sheesh!!!

I can't squat down anymore. Tummy is in the way! I have problems even putting on my panties! Lol!!! Really!!! I still have 4 months to go. Each and everyday is a challenge for me. I'm lucky that my hubby is very sweet towards me. I love him so much!!! I can never do it without him!!!

This morning, i walked into the bathroom and noticed all my toiletries placed on a stool. They used to be on the floor. And dear husband decided to put what i use everyday on the stool so that i don't have to bend down and pressure/tired myself out! I am so touch i tell you!!! He's so sweet!!! How can i not love this darling?!

He just changed our bedsheet and damned i'm loving the sun "dried" bedsheet!!! Smell so good!!! I'm so gonna go lie down now. My tired husband can finally rest soon as our maid will be here by the end of this month!!! Yay!!!

PS: I LOVE MY HUSBAND SO MUCH!!!

She's A Girl!!!

2011-11-06T22:28:00.000+08:00

So we went in for our 20 weeks detail scan finally. Had to fast at midnight as i will be testing for gestational diabetes. Painful to draw blood sample twice in one hour! Did the 4D scan and we are happy to announce that we are expecting a lil baby girl!!! Yay!!! We were overwhelmed!!!

Every organs of our lil baby was measured and everything was fine!!! Happy and glad to hear that. I was still very paranoid. OB told me that i need to relax and not to stress too much. Now we can finally decide on names and all. Will be waiting for the glucose test results and hopefully i pass it. Paranoid as usual again.

Damned my lappie died on me once again!!! This is seriously annoying!!! I'd better finish this quick and i need plenty of bed rest.

Gotta go... Night all...

PS: Our dream came true... it's a girl.

Our 1st Wedding Anniversary!!! ^___^

2011-11-02T23:33:00.000+08:00

Within a blink of an eye, we're married for one year already. It seems like yesterday!!! This man of mine is the sweetest guy that ever came into my life. I will love him till the day i die. Now we are bearing the fruit of love and our lil baby will arrive next march and our little family will expand to 3! =) We have yet to find out the gender of our lil one but will be going in for a detail scan in 2 days time.

I got a huge surprise for him and he have no idea about. I bought him Shimano bike that he's been yearning for. It was a huge surprise for him and he was so touch!!!

We decided to have dinner at Vienna International at United Square. Wanna let him try the Buddha Jump Over The Wall but we are so "lucky" cuz when we got there, it was closed for renovation!!! Haha. Just not our luck. We don't have much time to go somewhere else so decided to dined at Ichiban Boshi.

Pregnant At 4 Months 3 Weeks

2011-10-29T02:36:00.000+08:00

I had black chicken soup the moment i wake up today. Even before i brush my teeth! Haha. Mum brewed it for me. Then me and hubby went to Northpoint Shopping Centre for his Ramen while i wanna have some sweet treats. Decided to have a Banana Split from Swensens. Didn't manage to finish them though. I shared with the husband. =)

After that we took a bus back to our shop.. Guess what?! There's 3 guys who were so nice to offer me their seat!!! Lol. Meaning to say they spotted my cute bump finally? The feeling is so nice and warmth but i declined politely as we will drop off like 2 stops. So afterall there's still nice Singaporean huh?! ^_^

Sweet husband has been talking to my tummy ever since i got pregnant. But there was never once i really take any photos. He talks, sings, hugs, caresses and kisses my tummy everyday and night!!! And every time he talks to my tummy, i think that he look so cute!!! You know, i've never ever really talk to my tummy yet. Maybe i'm still in denial? Pregnancy haven't really come over me on my mind? Not true!!! Lol... just that probably i feel weird talking to my tummy?! I don't know. Just my feelings. I wanna see actual "obvious" movement on my tummy before i can talk to them. Haha.

Well, not that there isn't any movement yet. I have finally felt my lil baby's kicks!!! Hurray!!! And tummy is growing fast. My lil baby inside of me is very active when i sleep. So really uncomfortable whenever i lie down every night! I'm in for a detail scan on the 4th of November and that marks my 5th month!!! And we'll be able to find out/confirm our lil baby's gender. At 4th month, Doc thinks that it's a girl. Hoping that she'll stay as a girl. =) Excited!!!

Share with you my cute bump...

I have my clothes on okay!!! I'm not naked although i may looked like it.


I have to add butterflies here to cover my reflection cuz my room is full of mirrors!

That's what my hubby likes to do everyday!!!

PS: My computer keep dying on me, so before it switch off by itself like it had already did past 30 over times... I'd just stop here. Good night!!!

Back again?

2011-10-26T00:42:00.000+08:00

I hear the thunder and saw the lightning... Is it going to rain for tonight?! Either way, we'll be sleeping with the aircon on so no difference. Lol. I've been feeling really bad these few days. Been feeling so nauseous at night particularly. My lil baby inside my tummy seems to be having alot of commotion going on especially when i am trying to sleep or is fast asleep which makes me really uncomfortable. I can no longer lie on my back comfortably. Even left and right is hard. Tummy's growing day by day but not my appetite! How annoying. It's already almost the 19th weeks and i will be hitting 5 months pregnant soon. Still no improvement in the morning sickness.

Tomorrow is my nephew's first birthday and we are going over to my sis place for the celebration. Wow, how time flies. Our wedding anniversary falls on the 31st and within a blink of an eye we are married for 1 year already. I had surprises for him and he have no idea about them! He thought that i've forgotten about it.

I jusr took my anti nausea medicine and i hope to sleep in peace tonight. Keep having the feeling of burping but every single time i burp, puke came out. Disgusting right?! Oh i didn't let them out, i just swallow them back in. Lol. Damned, gonna rest on our comfy bed now.

PS: God, please grant me some appetite...

My 16th Weeks Tummy

2011-10-22T00:47:00.000+08:00

You know my lappie just died on me and its so freaking annoying. Why?! Cuz i was writing a long post on Mircrosoft Words and then it just went blank and i'm not going to write again. My lappie will die on my anytime again!!! Sickening!!! So i shall just post my photos and that's all. Very annoyed now!!!

I'm currently 18th weeks pregnant but those photos below were taken 2 weeks ago when i was 16th weeks...

And so my lappie just died on me 6 times before i can get this post up successfully!!! Make it short... Good night all.

PS: I wanna throw my lapto p away!!!

East Coast Park

2011-10-19T00:14:00.000+08:00

We had an off day finally. Hubby really yearns for some sea breeze. So we went to East Coast Park!!! We decided to have fun taking pictures on our own and we even brought our own tripod this time! It was really fun!!! The both of us strolled hand in hand along the sand as though we just knew each other. We laughed, we joked... we had fun watching those little kids building sand castles.

Hubby kept on touching my 4 months pregnant belly and talking to his lil baby inside. He can't wait to meet his offspring! He's so anxious and will keep on counting down to the day when we go see the OB/Gynae!!!

I decided to be the "Photographer" that day!!!

Add caption

I simply love those photos that i took for hubby.

Now, the bad "Photographer's" turn! Lol!!!

The wind went into my rompers and gave me a hunchback! Haha...

Now the tripod plays a part! We laughed at ourselves!!! Posing and setting the camera on timer, onlookers smiled at us.

I still don't look any day pregnant right?! Lol! The rompers does play a part! My bump was hidden!

Now i'm sure you can see my lil bump from the side elevation. Haha...

We sat here for so many hours chatting and listening to the waves. It was so relaxing!!!

And then the sun sets!!!

We stayed till sun set and left for Kuishinbo at Suntec!!!

After dinner we were so tired we decided to go home... That's our precious off day!!! We had so much fun!!!

PS: When will we off again?!

Holiday Inn & Orchard

2011-10-15T01:12:00.000+08:00

Me and Hubby attending one of my good friend Zelcy’s wedding at Holiday Inn. I wasn’t feeling well enough to really enjoy eating but am happy to enjoy such an joyous occasion of my good friend. We wished her the best and finally she’s married to her love. I told Hubby that this will be the last wedding we’re gonna attend till I get better. It’s painful to see others enjoy food while I feel like vomitting. Although not throughout the whole day but it seems to come to me at the “right” time! -_-“

I didn’t really take any photos with the bride cuz I didn’t have the chance to *as in with my own camera* as she was really busy that day. So yup, just me and hubby.

Can you see my 4 months pregnant bump?

Hubby really sucks at photography! 4 month pregnant at 48.1kg!!!


Can you see "us" my little 4 months inside me? It's showing!

So many of our friends are tying the knot this October. One of the darlings Charmaine will be a beautiful bride in days to come and I wish her blissful marriage and I’m so sorry that I wouldn’t be attending. As I may or may not feel well that day. I wouldn’t wanna promise and then can’t deliver after that. So to avoid any disappointment or anything, I shall meet her up after her wedding… by then I should be into my 5^th month of pregnancy. The feeling better period. *I hope*

Did I even mention that our wedding also falls on october? Haha… Yep!!! It’s our first year anniversary!!! This 31^st!!! Wow, I can’t believe that time passed us by so quickly. It’s one year already?! So I’m married for a year!!! Lol. It felt just like yesterday!!! And we’re expecting our first child next march. =) How amazing is that?! To bear fruit of your beloved. To give him his offspring! =) And have him by me 24/7 taking care of me and going through this pregnancy with me. Ooh, I just love my hubby!!!

Damned I feel so sick now. I keep on burping and the smell of the DHA fish oil supplement that I am taking left some after taste every single time I burped!!! I think I’d better eat or drink something to make it go away. Alright, gotta go. I’ll be back really soon. I promise.

PS: Cheers to all that’s married this month or getting married this month!!! =)

I Hit 4 Months!

2011-10-11T02:02:00.000+08:00

Hey all!!!

Sorry i haven't been writing lately. Most of the time i just hit the sack after i got home from work after shower. Been having alot of Migraines and Sinusitis. I'm finally 4 months pregnant!!! Yay!!! Woah, i've been going through loads of changes every single day! Some days i would feel so energetic and the some days i just simple couldn't get myself off the bed.

Seems like the vomitting is slowly weaning off. BUT... i still get them almost every night! Oh well, it's better than all day right?! There was this day when i totally didn't vomit and actually had appetite for that day! I was so happy little did i realize that my happiness was so short lived. -_-" That was the ONLY day so far that i really ate 3 meals. I hope my appetite comes back quick!

I went for my scan at my 4th month. Was glad that OB/Gynae told me that my lil baby inside of me is very healthy and is growing fast. Just that i'm still not putting on any weight! Doctor weighed me and i was only 48.1kg at 4th month. Tell me how to put on weight when i can't really eat right?!

Doctor told me that my lil baby looks like a girl but can only confirm it on my 20 weeks detailed scan. Most likely it's gonna be a girl. I sure do hope so cuz i really wanted a girl badly! Hubby's really confident that we're having a girl though. Haha. Is it true that most of the time by week 16, if preggie is expecting a boy, it should show by then?! Most of my friends found out that they are having boys by week 14-16. I'm so keeping my fingers cross!!! ^_^

See lil baby?! We can't find my baby's kuku bird (penis)

My next appointment will be a long one. I was told to "fast" by midnight as i'll be going through 2 blood test for sugar (Gestational Diabetes) and also the detailed scan for my lil baby's gender + check if all the organs are functioning well. I'm going paranoid as usual again. Having crazy thoughts and worries. Damned old me!!!

I'm feeling nauseous again. Gotta go. I promise i'll update soon. Be back then. Good night all. See, i never even spell check!!! -_-"

PS: Headache!

Disturbed!

2011-09-27T01:09:00.000+08:00

This morning’s thunder storm was loud and scary. It totally shook me awake leaving me feeling a sense of insecurities and some sense of dread. I woke up with cold shivers and checked on my beloved hubby. Good, he’s cuddling under our comfy quilt sound asleep. Ooh… did I ever mention that he look very cute asleep?! I kissed him on his forehead and checked the time… It’s 4:30 am!!!

I couldn’t get back to sleep. It’s been like this for the past few nights! Annoying! Really disturbed sleep as I move into the second trimester of pregnancy. Probably body’s slowing adjusting to it but it’s just painful. Just imagine...

I fall asleep at 12am, wake up at 2 to either pee or drink Ensure Milk cuz stomach rumbling. Tried to go back to sleep at 2:30am and then wake up at 4:30 feeling a tad hungry again. Didn’t really eat anything and I would just go sleepless till 7 plus… oh finally I fall asleep only to get up with hubby at 8am cuz this hardworking daddy needs to go tend our shop with my mum!!! He will go out and come back to check on me at around 11am and either cook me breakfast or buy me some food. Awake at 11 plus once again, I will eat something if not I will feel all terrible throughout the day and then I will try once again to sleep before it turns 12pm!!!

See, the whole night I will wake and sleep, wake and sleep! The past few days were pretty much like that. I reckon it’s gonna be like this for tonight again!!! *Roll eyes* Did I mention the irritating sneezing spells that I had?! I finished 2 boxes of tissues in 3 days!!! Very bad!!! The waste paper basket in my room is filled with my mountain of soiled tissues!!! Speaking of which, I am starting to sneeze again!!!

We had the windows wide open now cuz I wanna smell the dew of the rain. And the weather is cooling I just love every bit of it. Hubby’s gaming PS3 now and I’m here blogging. Princess is cuddling up under our bed on the pink heart shape rug. This whole day has been rather fine for me with not much nauseous until NOW!!! *Roll eyes* I hate it!!! We had Japanese food once again today. I think my lil baby inside me loves Japanese food!!!

I’ve been craving for Som Tum (Thai papaya salad) and I think I will very soon get them. We will then buy the ingredients and Hubby will make them for me so that we don’t have to go all the way to Golden Mile Complex!!! Oh I want Tom Sapp too!!! I almost forgot about my Kao Niow Ma Muang (Thai honey mangoes in sticky rice with coconut milk) and my Nang Ghai (Deep fried chicken skin) MY FAVORITE!!!!

I am soon gonna be 4 months pregnant and I heard that I may/should be able to find out the gender of our lil one. We are so damned excited!!!!!! On top of that, 16 weeks is the time when most preggies starts to feel a lil better and that’s when the vomiting wanes off. I am keeping my fingers cross. Some preggies vomit till the day they give birth for goodness sake!!! I hope I am not that “lucky” one!!!

I wonder if my lil one is a girl or a boy. I wonder how he/she will look like. I wonder who will he/she resembles more. Will he/she have hubby’s eyes? Will he/she be fair-skinned like us? Will he/she look Thai? How will our mixed baby look like? What’s his/her name be like? Everyone’s excited to see how our lil one will look like.

We have hopes and dreams and we are going to open our bigger shop by next May. It’s confirmed already. I hope it won’t come any earlier as my estimated due date falls on March the 22^nd 2012. And that means that we may need to fly to a few countries for business trip! If our grand opening falls somewhere around February, how am I suppose to fly?! I will be 8 months plus pregnant by then. And it’s not advisable to fly after the 7^th month right?! Most of the airlines won’t allow me on board either right?!

Then if it happens on May, then I may have to fly immediately after my confinement. The schedule will be packed like sardine. I wonder if I can cope then. Our maid shall come in by this December for sure and at least if I have to fly after confinement, there’s my maid who can help me take care of our kid. I had talked to mum about these issues this afternoon… We shall see what we can do.

My tummy is rumbling right now and hubby just made me Ensure Milk. I don’t know what else can go into my stomach without coming out. I am hungry…but the smell of food just turns my stomach around. Fragrance from Fried rice, Hor Fun, Bean sprouts, Prawn/Fish ball Noodles and even soup make me wanna puke. How? So hungry!!!

I’m gonna go finish my last few sips of milk and try resting on the bed to see if I will be better. Gotta go… but before that, I shall share some photos with you…

I like the white flower.

Check out my bling phone.

Mad loving Pink!!!

I love how my peach quilt beneath me reflected the color on my face.

Stoned face!!!

PS: I want a good night sleep. Possible?!

All Clear!!!

2011-09-25T03:38:00.000+08:00

And so my blood test results were out and the clinic phoned me to informed me that I have no HIV, no sexually transmitted disease that I may risk spreading to my lil unborn baby, no Anemia, no Hepatitis and my lil baby is at no risk of Down Syndrome!!! I had Oscar scan and it clearly shown that my lil one has no risk of Down Syndrome but we need blood test to back that up. Great news huh!!! ^_^

As of today, I am 14 weeks and 4 days (3 and a half months) pregnant. I still have bad morning sickness. They say it should slowly wean off at week 16 and I’m keeping my fingers cross!!! That’ll be another 2 weeks to go!!! I’ll hit 4^th month of pregnancy. Currently am in the second trimester and I’m starting to feel the lil one. It’s still rather early to say that I can feel the “flutter” but it’s getting hard to sleep on my sides without my tummy weighing it down. Meaning to say, more disturbed sleep. I still wake up often to pee and I’m getting a lot of blocked/runny nose.

It got worse by blocked ears too!!! If you get what I mean. I can hear my own voice echoing through my eardrums. Even my breathing can be heard clearly. There’s some slight pressure and I wonder if I’m having some slight infection of my nose that spread to my ears. Haven’t seen a doctor as yet. Migraine came to see me the past few nights and it’s really getting on my nerves!!!

Well anyway, I will be going for my 4^th month scan and I heard that if I am lucky, I can find out my baby’s gender. Excited much!!! Gonna collect my blood test result together as well. I am also gonna question my OB/Gynae with loads of questions!!! =)

Been sleeping a lot. When will I get better?! At least my appetite!!!

I couldn't even finish my rice despite asking for lesser rice!!!

That’s my concern. Yes I’m a glutton!!! And i haven't been taking carbs either. Well anyway carbs only give health problems to us. But what i'm pin pointing is, i am not really eating!!! It’s a stress to be in this state and I don’t like that at all. So I guess I have nothing much to update but probably some photos of my doggie dog dog Princess resting on my tummy today.

PS: I WANT MY APPETITE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM A MORON TODAY!!!

2011-09-17T02:08:00.001+08:00

I am a f_*king BLUR KUKUBIRD today!!! And everything just went f_*king wrong!!! How so?! Haha you'll be so impressed by me!!! *Roll eyes*

Guess what?! I mistaken today as the 17th of September, Saturday!!! When it's only Friday!!! We were supposed to attend Josephine's Wedding!!! And I was so God damned blur, dragged myself off the bed, showered, made up, did my hair and dressed up for the occasion!!! What's best was, i even took a cab there with my hubby!!! All the way from north side to Boon Lay!!! WTF!!! Only to realize that it was tomorrow instead!!! -_-"""""

Then after that we had no choice but to wait for the freaking cab at that remote place. Most of the cabs were on "Change Shift" and so we decided to walk out to the main road which might be easier for us to hail a cab. And as we walk out away from the shelter, guess what??? Immediately it began to rain!!! -_-" Yes WTF right?! Unlucky like shit!!!! So we rush back to the shelter waited for the rain to go away abit and began walking out again.

We were at the main road finally! No freaking cabs available for us!!! Even those with the green light just zoom past us as though we're transparent!!! Waited for a bloody long time then finally a cab came. And so we hopped onto the cab and then...a Vietnam lady who was in the cab in front of us came running outta her cab and knocking on our door insisted that we help her tell her cab driver "Taman Jurong" So our cab driver started our meter and told us to wait in his cab while he walked over to talk to that driver! Okay nevermind... small matter.

Cab driver finally returned and asked us where we wanna go. I told him to get us to the nearest shopping centre which have restaurants available. My lil baby inside me was famished!!! So was hubby and me!!!! So we got to the Jurong Point Shopping Centre finally! It was drizzling.

Got outta cab and walked the whole freaking shopping centre in search of food. I was thinking Japanese food but anything will do. So we walked along the stretch of restaurants and saw Swensens, Din Tai Fung, New York New York etc etc... all freaking long queue!!! Walked into the Japanese region where they have a few Japanese restaurants available. Saw Ichiban but it was freaking long queue!!! Every restaurant was packed!!! Even Kuishinbo!!!

I gave up!!! We stopped at Kuishinbo! So i thought, f_*k it, just wait! And the waitress told us that we need to wait for an hour at least! WTF!!! Cow dung luck!!! *Spit* *Roll eyes* Whatever you can imagine my f_*k face to be, it'll just be that!!! I told her okay, we'll be back after awhile.

Walked away from Kuishinbo and along the whole stretch of restaurants with no hope of eating!!! Called mum and complained. Mum told us to just wait for the food. No point feeling so upset! And so, we walked all the way back and waited. Finally, our turn!!!!!!!! My lower back was aching... so were my poor feet!!! Cow dung luck right?! Just not my day!!! Everything went so wrong!!! The stupidest dumbest thing is to turned up at the wedding venue on the wrong day!!! What's worse is, it's just a day apart!!! How the f_*k did i get it wrong?!

Been forgetting every possible thing!!! Pregnancy got the better of me! *Roll eyes* So tomorrow, we gotta doll up once again and take the same route to the same place!!! How f_*king stupid?! Well then, at least i finally ate something nice...

(Photos were taken by hubby's Iphone)

I had 5 plates of that!!!

Check out how big it is!!!

See... Very nice and juicy!

And we ended our dinner with some sweet treats which i only had 1 pathetic chocolate fondue marshmallow!!! Don't even ask me why. Guess my lil baby inside doesn't wanna have it.

And so you think that this f_*k shit day is over?! No, not yet!!! The taxi stand queue was endless, tried calling for a cab but in vain cuz it was raining. I couldn't hold on any longer because i am pregnant! Decided to take the train home instead!!! Right choice???

WRONG!!! Very wrong move!!! I didn't know that Boon Lay MRT was so crowded!!! Damned that was alot of people!!! Upon reaching the control station, me and hubby realize that we forgot to bring our EZ-Link Card!!! (Do you wanna slap me on the face?! Cuz trust me i wanna do it myself!!!) What f_*king cow dung luck can!!!

So no choice we gotta queue with the rest and buy the standard ticket. Finally our turn, i chose my destination and the machine prompt me for cash payment. Hubby took our a $10 bill and guess what?! NOT AGAIN!!! The machine only able to return $4 and my ticket cost $3!!! Arghhhhh!!! I was so damned angry!!! Resort to the whatever room they call with a few uniform people inside.

Both counter closed!!! But they were chatting inside!!! I don't care!!! I just wanna get home quick!!! I knocked on the glass panel and told the lady that the machine doesn't accept $10 which she denied and i told her that i was going to purchase a standard ticket instead. *Roll eyes* Okay she was nice enough to change my $10 with 5 $2 bills. I thanked her and took the long queue again! -_-

Bought the bloody ticket and waited for the MRT to arrive. As usual, crowded! And everyone was blocking the fucking entrance/exit of the train doors when it arrived!!! What's best is, people don't f_*king allow passengers to get off the MRT first before they get in!!! I mean what the F_*K is in their head. How to get in if no passenger can get out!!! So i freaking screamed at everybody!!! I DID THAT!!!

Got our ass into the train with all the squeezing and stuff. I saw a "Reserved Seat" taken by this Singaporean Guy in his 30's. Well, he came first and i can't expect him to give up his seat to me. Not his fault cuz i don't freaking look pregnant to anyone!!! My fault!!! Just my cow dung luck for the day!!! Just imagine me so tired with persistant sharp lower back pain!!! Endured all the way...

Finally got home slightly before midnight!!! My legs were tired and my feet were blistered. And i can't imagine that we gotta go all the way there tomorrow again!!! I f_*king hope that tomorrow will be a better day!!! Please have cabs!!!

PS: I am a moron!!!

Peek-a-boo...My Tummy @ 3 Months!!!

2011-09-15T02:50:00.000+08:00

I was affected by the haze from Indonesia and it's causing me to itch and sneeze. I was praying for the rain to come so that the haze will go away. And I was a happy girl when i see dark clouds hanging over me and i hear thunder clapping. The wind was blowing and it was amazing!!! I was outside the shop and i took a picture what may seems gloomy to you but made my day.

And so the rain was here heavy and all but it didn't last long. What a shame! The sound of the rain makes me relax and stress free.

Anyway i had difficulties getting outta the bed. I don't know why i couldn't get off the bed without feeling nauseous. And today i had it real bad. I couldn't eat anything at all!!! It was just so bad. I am so God damned hungry but yet i feel like vomitting most of the time!!! I took sour plum as usual and it really really didn't help me at all! =( I think i will get high blood pressure in time to come!!!

Suffered the whole day not eating much. We closed shop and i decided to give this a try. I have to!!! The bitter taste on my tongue really adds up to the misery!!! I can't get it off no matter how many sour plums i take. So finally i bought Skittles. I hope it will help me.

And damned all of em tasted like either my perfume or the floor cleaner!!! At least they are sweet and bring the bitterness away. So it does help me abit i guess!!! =) God i'm so hungry now!!!

I went to color my hair finally!!! And it's still Ash tone but darker. Aww... it'll fade in days to come i am just too sure about this. But i'm loving this new fresh look. Took some pictures of my tummy the rest are my usual camwhoring... =) Can you see my bump already? I'm 3 months pregnant now.

My 6 packs became 1 pack!!!

See the bump?

I lost my waistline.

Side elevation.

And the rest are the vain me!!! In my new hair color. This color appeared dark in the pictures i have no idea why. Well, it'll fade...

They told me that i am expecting a girl. My friends and those old folks cuz they said i am looking good during pregnancy. I wonder if i'm carrying a girl or a boy. We should be able to find out on our next visit to the OB/Gynae. By then i'll be 16 weeks! Hubby can't wait!!!

So hungry now cuz i didn't really eat anything today. What's worse is there's nothing much to cook at home. Ordered Macdelivery. Waiting for it's arrival. Gotta go...

PS: On the verge of fainting!!!
