What a day

There was a Mattel toy fair over at our office from Monday to Wednesday. Wah, all the parents went there to grab the toys man, as if money is free!

Well, I happen to be one the parent lah, although I'm just parent to be. We were lucky to grab some fisher price toys as we went before the peak hour lunch time. Will upload the photos when I have time to snap them.

In all, I spent a good $139, which I think is worth lah. But come to think, it's still another 6 more months to go before I pop. But who cares lah, cheap leh. Fisher price toys arent cheap outside okay. And I'm glad hubby didnt scold me man. But he say cannot buy anymore toys liao. muhahahahahah

Last night, hubby was so sweet to come all the way to my office and wait for me. Anyway, I needed help with the toys too and I was starving by the time it was 8 plus.

I had wanted to come to office early this morning, to clear my work as it is the last workday. But then it was raining heavily and I had waited for a taxi for an hour! Gave up, went back home to call for cab. Cost me $4 bucks hor. Then peak hour another $2. So I had to pay $6 before I got into the cab. In all the cab fare cost me $17.50. Aiyo...

At that point, I just wish I had a car...

Back to work..dread

Haiz...back to work and there are so many uncleared stuff. I just cannot imagine why he cannot take initiative to clear them or he just choose to be blur as always and not clear them? ARGH!!! Boss ah boss, why did you wanna give him the opportunity to join my team and drag us all down????

Boss just hired a replacement, who will be coming in on 11th sept nia, so long. Then she said meantime she is asking another colleague who is back from maternity to help cover first. Xian leh. Cover here cover there, then end up I have to teach the new girl also...

Was grumbling to hubby yesterday as always about him. Hubby gave a good suggestion. He recommended me to switch my duties with him, to see if I am able to cope and spend as much time as he does. If I still can spare time to process the invoices, that means the problem lies with him!!! Dude. But then I dont want to learn new things lah, lazy, mind not working anymore.

Was reading and catching up with the latest big news on Ananda Travel. They are asked to wind up and those customers who are still awaiting for their refund are in big big trouble. The liquidators reckon the office at People's Park have only old computers and desks which after auction might not even be sufficient to pay off their debt. What's more, the customers are ranked last after the big creditors are paid. By then, there might not be anything left. Thinking back, I'm so glad that I insisted on hubby to chase them like mad for our refund of $2K. All thanks to my gf who had insider news lah, from her sister who works in the travel industry too. Come to think of it, if it's not because of hubby's black face, I really wont have sign that stupid contract and paid up 2K. He has definitely learnt his lesson and will leave decisions to me in future. haha.

I'm sick.....

Haiz, didnt sleep well last night at all. I was so tired after the buffet at Raffles Club, that I went home, shower and rest in bed liao. Kept sneezing non stop and my throat hurt like hell.

I woke up at 130am, I couldnt breathe properly at all, mucus just kept flowing, aiyo. I had no choice but to switch off the aircon and got hubby to pour me a glass of water to drink. Poor hubby, he complained that the room was so stuffy. There was hardly any fresh cool breeze coming to our room. Haiz...I did manage to catch a couple of sleep or two before hubby woke up to get ready for work.

Told him I cannot make it liao, gotta go and see my gynae for mc today. I'm feeling so drowsy and warm. Was also thinking if I should ask him to scan or not. That's because I did a stupid silly thing on Sunday lah. It was really out of that moment thought that I am pregnant. I just ran and jump myself onto the bed. That's what I love to do, then aiyah, gena scolding fr hubby lor. Say the shock very strong, wait affect his hector lah, etc. make me so upset. So wonder if he is alright or not leh.

I kept sneezing non stop and there seem to be a force down my tummy too. aiyah, why get sick of all time. i thought I wont get sick one leh, who knows...

Fruitful weekend...

Last weekend was a fruitful one for me. Woke up early morning and head down to Glens to check on darling hector. He's grown twice since 3 weeks ago. he's now measuring 5cm and I can see his arms and feet, so long and cute. The funny thing is, he is upside down and not lying on his side.

We managed to listen to his heartbeat using the droopler and so cute, whenever he moves, the sensor moves out of position and Nurse Irene have to track it again. : )

Night before, hubby couldnt get to sleep. He was as excited to see how's hector is doing. So at least we are at ease to know he is going well and growing well too. My next appointment will be in a month's time, supposedly on my birthday, but I cannot take leave due to the stupid audit. So we changed it to a Sat. By then, I would be 16 weeks and Dr say hopefully he is able to tell the gender then. And I've gotta go for another round of blood test again. Sob sob...

Then we headed to Suntec for the M1 roadshow. Wah, so crowded leh, Chan brothers, dynasty were having their travel fair roadshow too and so many people. Wished I can travel too...Hubby promised to buy a handphone for me, for a early birthday gift. And I've chosen the N73. 2 of his buddies got the same phone too. It's really cheap for the ultimate plan users. We got it at $381. Not bad for a phone that just launched 2 weeks ago....Having so much fun with it now. With the mp4 component, I can now listen to music on the MRT....

I did a stupid thing on Sunday to jump onto the bed. It was a spontaneous moment and I regretted it so so much. So worried about it whole night and kept checking if I was spotting or not. Stupid me. Got a big scolding from hubby.

Ah, mum just called to ask us join them for buffet at Raffles Town Club tonight, coz it's my chinese birthday. I forgot all about it too. And today is our anniversary too...It's 1 year 3 months ROM anni..how fast time flies..

So what...

Aiyah, xian one leh, yesterday share with a colleague abt my pregnancy, then just now met her at the lift lobby hor, she come and exclaimed so loud, aiyo, you put on so much weight leh, really alot leh. I cannot recognise you leh.

Pls lah, everyday see me, and just 2 days back chat with me, then say cannot recognize me. So 38 leh. Then another colleague came along said after married is like that one, then that colleague replied saying no leh, is really alot leh. Irritated. I'm pregnancy what, and I dont have morning sickness what, and I'm hungry often what, eat, cannot meh? Your business ah?

Sometimes really cannot stand these 38s people one leh. Worst thing is, I dont intend to announce my pregnancy, then she say till so loud, got another colleague with her, later sure ask what about one. See lah, then spread like wild fire.

Buay tahan these people. I've learnt my lesson, next time CANNOT CANNOT share things with that colleague.

I hate my job

I dread coming to office this morning. Why must the weekend pass by so fast? Why must we work and slog for 5 days then have only 2 days of rest. Sob sob...

I'm mentally and physically stressed out. I dont know how long I can tahan. She's leaving this friday and yet we dont have any candidate knocking on our door! Is the job market that good now? Argh......

On the way to work on the MRT, I was so afraid that the faint spell would come on again. It hit me twice on Sat, once in the morning at home and at night after we went to Mustafa to get the kettle for SIL. I think I might have exhausted myself way too much. My body that weak now? Or is my blood count too low...

SIL said I've gotta look for baby posters, be happy staring at it and it will help to create a bondage...I love Anne Geddes posters, so cute. Perhaps will pester hubby to get them...




Yesterday hubby told me that MIL prayed to her father for a baby boy at the temple. I think to myself, are all MIL so typical to want a grandson? Why so prejudice against girls? In fact, hubby would love to have a girl as the first child and now to think, I too wish to have a girl. I find it so much easier to bond with my niece than my newphew. Each time I buy gifts, I think of niece first, coz girl mah, I can click with and then choose all the girly sweetie things to match.

I used to have the mentality to have 4 boys. But now, I've changed. I got a feeling that this bb would be a boy, as we strike on my ovulation day. If so, then I really wish and pray hard the second child would be a darling girl. Tomorrow I'l be 11 weeks and by next Tuesday, I'l be 3 months. So fast. I'm glad to pass the stage 1. And next month, we'l know the gender of the bb....and if MIL's wishes come true, she'l be damn happy.

Fireworks

Okay, so we made up on Friday when hubby came to harbourfront to fetch me. I relented and so we made up. But then, it didnt last long till we reached home and once hubby started to wash bunnies's cage, he started grumbling again.

It got worst on sat afternoon, when it was so hot and we were just plain lazy and he kept saying things that provoke me and got me into tears 4 times. The last straw was when I said i didnt wanna see fireworks anymore and wanted to go back to my mother's place. Long story short, he gave in. He have to give in, I wasnt wrong. So we made way to Esplanade after dinner at Toa Payoh.

It was crowded, with so many people jostling around and pushing. Yuck. Thank god that it was very very windy, so at least I get to breathe in some fresh air. Otherwise I might just faint. We stood waiting for close to an hour before getting to see a 10 min display for the final day fireworks. It was nice, beautiful and everyone just looked up at the sky.


From the place where we stood, I couldnt see the lower fireworks, sob sob. Those people lah, standing up on the bench, how to see. You can see my photos all have their stupid heads and handphone out to shoot the fireworks lor.

Sad sad day...

Today is day 2 of the cold war between hubby and me. And with increased workload and this arguement, I didnt sleep well last night and ended up with a bad headache this morning.

It sparked out yesterday morning when I woke up and as my feet was cold, I thought of my Ritz Carlton bedroom slipper. I looked at the usual spot where I kept it and it was no longer there!!! Darn! HUbby threw it away! I got so mad so mad that I just shouted at him. And he still dare to say he threw long time ago liao lor and I only discovered now. So mad u know.

This isnt the first time that he threw my thins away without my knowledge. And each time he just doesnt learn his lesson. That slipper costs $18 a pair and we got it foc when we went for a getaway at the hotel. And he said the slippers were dirty so he threw them away. Darn! I told him many times that it can be washed! He could have volunteered to wash for me instead of throwing them away and then now its gone forever! I had it so much.

He threw many medicines away during the weekend too. That's what he do at his parents home, throwing all the letters etc which he himself deem useless without asking anybody. And so he thinks he can bring home this attitude. Sorry man, that doesnt work at my house.

Yesterday I told him that I wasnt going to his mother's place for dinner. So he jolly well went alone. He sms-ed me to say he bought a glacier durian cake for me and reminded me to feed hector dinner. Surprisingly he came home really early at 745pm! I was shocked. Anyhow, instead of being remorseful, he questioned me why the pot of soup was at the stove. I ignored him. I presumed that he would help me finish up but he didnt! And I had to ask him if he wanted the soup, no reply, so i angrily kept the pot of soup into the fridge.

I did my own things and went to bed at 9pm. but I couldnt get to sleep. He just continued watching his TV in the living room till around 10-11 plus before he came in to sleep. I heard him mumble something, but couldnt make out what he was saying.
Anyway, he slept his way, I slept mine.

This morning he woke me up in a very bad mood manner. No goodbye kiss either. I cant be bothered. Normally he would wake me up in a really sweet matter. Well, let him be angry, I cant be bothered. This time I'm not in the wrong.

Yesterday sup say she wont be able to recruit the replacement on time before that girl leave, and so she is expecting me to learn her things first and pass on to the new replacement. I hate it so much okay. She is preggie and so am I. then she should know I dont want to be pressured and get all stressed up. And yet, she keep saying she has no choice. I'm abit frustrated with her already, coz she is presuming we can do everything with just 2 headcount.

I really cannot take it anymore and feel like throwing the letter. But by throwing that means for the next 6 months I'l be rotting! And then I'l miss out on the 3 months maternity leave pay also. How am I going to survive till March?? God...pls help me. With all these pressure and stress, my heart pound very rapidly when I sleep. It is bad for my health and bb hector also....God...help me get through this.

Happy National Day

Today is our country's national day, and is also a public holiday for us. How nice it is...Finally after a long wait since May for a public holiday.

Last night I had thought I managed to pester hubby to accompany me to see the fireworks display at Marina Square. He even filled up his water bottle full of water for me, but then, after we met up, aiyah, he started saying is crowded lah, etc, traffic congestion etc, then ended up, I gave in and said okay lah, we dont go. Sob sob....

At 9pm, I can hear the fireworks exploding loudly, and yet I cant even catch a glimpse of it! The opposite blk kids were all exclaiming, " wah wah wah " and I went like " sob sob sob "

Told hubby that I must see the fireworks this Friday and Sat, I dont care. He promised, so we shall see if he keeps his promise....

Slow Monday

Monday is such a bad day to start...I had to drag myself up from the bed. So tiring, even though I slept early at 10pm, while hubby watched TV.

Just got to know fr sup today that there are 5 MTB in the office! And the 5th MTB is the other sup, so our new mgr is gonna have a big headache, as 3 of us are due to deliver in March and just about 1 week diff from each other. kekeke.

Sup wore the same outfit she wore last week. She was just telling me that she cant fit into her clothings anymore! ahaahah. got tummy lor, same as me. At least I always wear tees lah, bigger tops that smart hubby got me to buy from Spain during our honeymoon. So now just nice, those 2 sizes bigger jeans and top fits me. But I'm dying to buy nice babydoll dresses or tops to wear leh. Getting sick of wearing the same old tops. But dont know where to buy... Need cheap ones too, other hubby will scream his head off!

Time passes by real fast. Tomorrow will mark my 10th week. I cant wait for 12th week to arrive when it's gonna coincide with our 1 year 3mths anniversary.

oh yeah, nearly forgot. Had a big bad news today. The ISO audit is on my birthday!!!! Wat a day to choose okay!! How lucky that can be? I was already planning to take leave on that day with hubby, then the email came this morning that I've to stand by. argh!!!! Buay tahan. Sometimes I wish I can just desert everything and leave the company. That guy isnt picking up speed and he's learning very slow. The new girl is not in yet and sup is expecting me to learn all. So what's gonna happen when I'm on maternity? Chaos....

Lousy service

Okay, we have waited for so long for this day for our dining table to arrive. Woke up early, packed the study table cum temporarily dining table to our study room and it took us 3 hours to clear the rubbish.

The phone buzzed, the guys fr barang barang are on the way. They are early. So I quickly took a shower and grabbed Junior downstairs to trim his nails. Old wives tales said that pregnant woman arent suppose to be at home should there be any new furniture or movement of furnitures at home. So I waited downstairs and I saw the barang van...yippy. Finally.

Then hubby called and said they delivered only 4 chairs. Aiyo! The stock for the table is not here yet and we werent informed about it!. Hubby was so unplesant with their service and called to make a complain about it.

tsk tsk.

Been having problem for weeks in uploading photos onto the blog. Anyone else have this problem?

On Half day...

Finally, I'm taking a break today, half day... Been so busy last week and whole of this week with the closing. It is like madness, I've never been so busy before, and all of a sudden, so many tasks to clear.

Anyway, I'm suppose to clear the study table at the living room to make way for the dining table that is coming tomorrow. Oh yeah, we finally placed order for our dining table. kekeke. But well, so many housework to do, had to do the laundry, iron the clothes, then do some packing. By then, it's already 5pm! I had wanted an afternoon nap, but then, looks like it's gonna be an evening nap.

Well well, been really frustrated with a colleague. She's been pushing me to purchase this colostrum which says it benefits mummy and baby. Before I was expecting, she was promoting some other health care products, like those pills that get rids of your body toxics, some pills that give u strength lah, etc. Had already rejected her nicely. Then thought share good news with her and her comes another tactic of hers lor. Promoting this colostrum thingy.

I didnt tell her I had brought forward my appointment to last Sat, and she thought it's still tomorrow. So she "reminded" me again to ask my gyane abt the colostrum and so I told her, he had adviced me not to take such rubbish and there was no scientific evidences. And furthermore that's for the production of milk and I dont need it now. So it was a lecture from my gyane, thanks man.

I sure hope she will get the hint hint hint!!! The last time I was being lectured for taking rubbish like diet pills, fancl tenseup. And now, I dont even dare to touch anything that is not recommended by gynae anymore.

Who's gonna be responsible should anything happen? Is she going to be responsible? Is her company going to be responsible? touch wood touch wood.

waiting for time to pass, waiting for hubby to be back...
