Takashimaya's BB Fair
Again, things are just slightly cheaper than usual so didnt really bought a lot of things.
I gotten the 2 medium size bottles as a package when I bought the sterilizer during Isetan's BB Fair, so this time round I just bought 2 large size bottles.
For BB when he slp with us at night, he has the BB cot for the day in his own room.

I didnt slp well....
I was on MSN with a few friends and cousin last night, were on a topic abt insensitive comments.
After logging off, I head for my bed but cant get to slp after tossing and turning. I thought it was becos of the afternoon nap I took. Apparently I was wrong.......
I told HB I couldnt slp, he turn off the computer and started chatting with me. I was telling him I heard something very hurtful in office on Friday. He told me not to tk it to heart and dont bother abt it too much. After talking for a while I was hungry and went to have a bowl of noodles, thought I would be able to slp well after a full stomach.......... I did slp for a while but woke up after dreaming of my aunt very badly injured face when she got into an accident abt 14 yrs ago.........
I woke up at 7plus in the morning as I didnt went into deep slp. This morning I went to market with a half dead soul, and ask myself what did I do these to myself? Tt someone who said tt probably had a good slp last night, why did I punish myself for someone insensitive comment? 不开心还真的是知己找的.
Anyway a mother ever commented, "aiyo worse than a pregnant woman", right at my face................ Anyway tt sentence I heard on Friday was 100 times worse than this comment. Maybe its wasnt so much of insensitive comment but a kind of discrimination????
We are all out to make a living only, why make things difficult for each other?

爱美不是女人的专利
My Dad is a well known 爱美man, my friends call him 帥哥instead of Uncle. He is addicted to the Pure White Masque….. not bad wor, he apply more religiously than his 爱美daughter, cos yesterday I just help him buy another bottle and mine still have quite a fair bit left over.
My Dad not those typical Uncle in the 40s, who has a big belly and don’t dress up. He hit the gym at least 2-3 times a week and has a 6-pac figure, trim his hair neatly and dresses well for all occasion. I really salute some man who nvr bothers abt their hair or who “bothers but machiam nvr bothers”.
At least Im not too worried abt him unlike my mother, who nvr tk good care of her health. My dad don’t have a clean health bill but not as bad as my mom. Every now and then my mom need to go hospital for these check up for tt follow up. My dad has a minor cholesterol issues, and he is taking care of it very well. He takes supplement, see Sensei for regular treatment, watch out his diet and most impt he exercise to keep fit. So I rather he Ai Shui and keep a healthy living out of being a vain pot.
The point is if you don’t tk care of urself, nobody will. No one is responsible for your own health other than urself. Being overweight is not a fun thing, it often tagged long with high blood pressure, cholesterol problem and heart problem. I promise you soon, after these 3 good friends are with you, stroke and heart attack are highly to make friend with you. Then again when it happen its too late, u no longer able to live a life like before. Your family will have to tk care of you and if the attack is so fatal you might even lose the quality of your life. A very good eg which is my granddad, remember when I was young, he use to go ard and pick up toys and etc for us, he will be the one walking ard the neighbourhood to look for me when its time to head home. But now, he can be only be feed by tube, this didn’t happen overnight, its 1 good friend bring in another and transform into a mega issues. I feel sorry for him, after slogging more than half of his life time, his retirement time has to be spent like this. He no longer able travel with my granny and all he can is to sit, wait to be fed / cared for and waiting for the last moment.

Mr and Mrs Darren David Chow
Congratz to both!!! This wedding was a very different but enjoyable one. Couples march in with Techno like music, wore unique gowns and had unique wedding photos. It was like a major gathering for family, friends and colleagues, atmosphere was filled with love and sincerity from everyone, unlike the usual stagnant wedding I used to attend. The family members, friends, bride and groom took turn to have speeches on stage. I was very touched by Darren's mom speech, she made a promise to the Bride's parent to love the bride as her own daughter and she is more than happy to welcome the bride to the family.
To be frank everyone says when a couple get married they become family to each other family. As a married woman, I guess many pple would agree "一家人"只是好听而已. When u feel nothing but an outsider during "family" gathering, oh well I guess tt is reality of the world. U rarely met 1 like Darren's Mom who cried and say we will love our DIL like our daughter. She remind me of my granny becos of her magnanimous love.
My Granny loves everyone in the family equally, she doesnt judge, she doesnt 重男轻女, her love has no terms and conditions. She love her child's friend like her own, she loves her grandchild's friend like her own. She is well like and respected by everyone in the family and circles of our family's friend.
Anyway my Best Wishes for the newly wed and wish them lots of baby dust.
PS: Im so happy I can still "squeeze" in my GG5 dress.

It alway feel good to have craving than nauseous feeling.
Library was closed for the day, so much for our luck.

I didnt saw her....
Today I met a kind soul on the train, I boarded the train from Outram as usual, initially I were standing close to the door after reaching Redhill I manage to move in and stand in front of the 2 priority seat. If we do have pple who are kind enough to give up their seats to me, there will be the opposite.
A lady was sitting on the first P.seat while the man on the second. They look like they are in their 30s and are most probably office executives. They simply turn a blind eye. When they saw me and I were hugging my tummy. After a while this Chinese man (in the 40s) who were standing beside me saw tt no one offer the seats to me. He asked me which stop am I getting down and I told him BB station. To my shock, he went to ask the man sitting on the 2nd p.seat to give up his seat for me as Im going to have a long journey.
The woman on the 1st p.seat get up after this kind soul asked for the seat, well guessed she felt embarrassed. I Thank the Man who asked the seat for me and also the woman who "gave" up the seat. This gentleman even thanks the woman and the man who in the end nvr gave up the seat for me. Oh well I guess we just have to say it out of formality sake though we know they didnt wanted to give up their seats in the first place. When the gentleman say 10q to the man, he still have the cheek to say, "np I didnt saw her". >.<"" I were standing right in front of him and yet he still can say "I didnt saw her". Well at least if he say "I didnt know she is pregnant" was a better excuse than "I didnt saw her". Well after all the hoo ha, he decided tt he should slp and save himself from more embarrassing stare.
I really felt grateful to this gentleman who bothers to ask for seats for pple like us. There are pple who give up seats but there are also a lot of ugly pple who doesnt or probably think that they dont need. They either feign slping, meddling with hp, books, newspaper or simply ignore u. I really do not know how to comment abt Singapore's graciousness, some pple say becos its very tiring after 1 whole day of work, some pple work late the day before hence they are very tired so they need the seats. We pregnant woman suffer from extreme fatigue, wake up as usual in the morning and goes to work like everyone else, on top of the daily tiredness, we are exhausted becos we have certain hormones in us tt make us feel very tired. So do we need the seats?
I hope those pple who dont give up seats for pple who more in need, apply the same standard back to themselves and do not feel upset when no one gives up the seat to you when you are old or pregnant. Dont even complain no one give up the seats to your wife or urself becos you felt tt it was right tt there is no need to give up seats to them. Good luck to all these pple. 人在做天在看.
I believe in Karma, what goes ard comes ard.

分手快乐
终于一切都过去了, 这几年的是与非就让他随风而去. 前面的路还很长, 我们会陪你一起走. 往后的日子一定要更开心, 活得更充实.
我无法帮你预言委曲求全有没有用
可是我多么不舍朋友爱得那么苦痛
爱可以不问对错至少要喜悦感动
如果他总为别人撑伞你何苦非为他等在雨中
泡咖啡让你暖手想挡挡你心口里的风
你却想上街走走吹吹冷风会清醒得多
你说你不怕分手只有点遗憾难过
情人节就要来了剩自己一个
其实爱对了人情人节每天都过
分手快乐祝你快乐
你可以找到更好的
不想过冬厌倦沉重
就飞去热带的岛屿游泳
分手快乐请你快乐
挥别错的才能和对的相逢
离开旧爱像坐慢车
看透彻了心就会是晴朗的
没人能把谁的幸福没收
你发誓你会活得有笑容
分手快乐祝你快乐
你可以找到更好的
不想过冬厌倦沉重
就飞去热带的岛屿游泳
分手快乐请你快乐
挥别错的才能和对的相逢
离开旧爱像坐慢车
看透彻了心就会是晴朗的
没人能把谁的幸福没收
你发誓你会活的有笑容
你自信时候真的美多了

Antenatal Check Up @ 17 Weeks
My EDD got push back to 15/02/2010, but read from many source tt usually the first scan is the most accurate. Anyway my mom ask me to get ready for birth in early feb, cos usually first BB is 1-2 weeks earlier. My Mom gave birth to me 2 weeks earlier and spend 12 hours in the labour room w/o epidural. I really salute my Mom, she give birth to 4 BB w/o epidural and the best thing is my 2nd sis didnt engaged, my Mom insisted to give birth naturally instead of C-Sect. I hope Im as strong as her and wont be begging for epidural in the labour room.
BB is as active as usual, clapping hands, sucking thumb, scratching the head and cant stop moving ard. The ultrasound turn out to be very blur again. Dr Wong ask us whether we want to know the BB's gender if he can see it today, of cos we nodded as we cant wait. This BB really cheeky, for the past few check up legs are alway open and we do see tt little thing sticking out since WK 11 though Dr Wong refused to confirm. This time round this BB decide to cross the feet, Dr Wong try to disturb and make BB open up the leg, but BB refused. We move on to viewing other parts of the body and went back again in abt 10mins. Finally BB open up abit though still crossing, Dr Wong manage to see it from the backside instead from the front top view.
Dr Wong commented, "hmmm looks like a boy to me", turn ard and look like HB and say " can be 80% sure tt its a BB boy". Finally we solve the gender mystery. My cousin say my BB shy, I think he is more cheeky than shy, purposely sit in a "u want to see, must spend some time looking for it" position. I think I will have a good time cracking my head over him when he grows up.
Why 80%, becos Dr Wong is a conservative type of gynae, well being a Sgporean I knew why he say 80% instead of 100% though even HB also saw the PP. Anyway 20% leave it to the detailed scan on 09/10. Hence this check up burst my pink combi pram dream.
Anyway my weight is not ideal, weighing only 44.2kgm, Dr Wong expect me to be at least 45kgm. But BB is a heavy BB weighing heavier than the average weight. So small size mummy doesnt mean small size BB, at least I wont feel so guilty for not putting on the extra weight.
Hb is so cute, on the train he suddenly whisper to me, "10q for bearing me a son". Hb has been very assuring, remember the first check up, he also whisper into my ear, "you are so great, going to give birth to our BB". Sometimes when I complain to him that he will soon bring an old haggard and fat woman out, he just say "Dont worry, we will grow old and fat together". Awwwwww.......

Isetan BB's Fair
Basically there is nothing really much to buy, partly becos we didnt know the BB's gender at that time and things are still expensive despite its on discount. We managed to get the bottles sterilizer and a miracle blanket. Luckily we didnt purchase the baby cot as HB's colly was kind enough to give it to us.
After the shopping we went to McCafe for a drink, HB was kind enough to order a cup of hot chocolate as he knows I cant intake caffeine. The staff was kind enough to make this preggy woman smile by designing a cup of cute hot chocolate.
