lazy bum!

tough to keep up wif 2 blogs + 1 multiply thus my personal blog had been seriously neglected as most of the current updates are posted in my BB blog!

a quick update - currently into my 29th week and more complains popping up. Fatique, frequent full bladder, difficulty in turning to sleep on the sides at night aka gota perform '3 point turn' (impossible to sleep on the back), heating up both in body temperature as well as short tempered at the expense of my poor hubby (barking at him over slightest little thing), only to feel guilty seconds later!

the new nickname for my babe = maria since once i plant my butt on the bed, he had to be at my beck and call fetching food, water and wats not! not that im lazy but im oso experiencing butt cramp and pain the pelvic area thus getting up and about is a chore.

had wat seem like Braxton Hicks over 26 weeks which sent mi into total panic mode. worried it will be preterm contractions but luckily it's within control wif some medication from gynae although he painted mi scary scenario of premature bb in KKH costing a whopping $50K hospital bill.

anyhow, feel free to visit my BB blog which im sharing for the 1st time...hee

This is a practical year; no long leisurely periods for dreaming, personal indulgence, or careless living.

It is also the time to work out the details of that project you've been thinking about. Read the fine print of all transactions.

This is the year to find where you stand in life, and to be practical about it -- to pay attention to details.
This year demands a lot of work, not only to improve the present but also to build practical foundations for the future. Your diligence brings commensurate rewards. With good sense, you can meet all requirements and experience satisfactory gain.

Your gatherings, meetings, parties, and trips are mostly related to work or business.

As part of the practical focus of this year, attend to health matters.

Nua

my personal blog looks seriously neglected bcos most of the updates are in my multiply...let mi see what should I update here...sorry ar short term memory nowdays....

Baby ~ we are expecting our little prince and he's currently 19 weeks old (still in tummy la). Felt his movement for the 1st time 1.5 weeks back and it certainly felt so surreal and amazing. Initial reaction of this noob mummy here is scared, paranoid thinking wat's going on. After overcoming the state of shock then realised it's our previous boy's movement. since then it's more obvious especially when he's hungry sending 'reminders' to mummy ~ please EAT!

Had to resist the temptation of buying cutie pcs of clothings for him as bb outgrown clothing faster than u can blink your eyes. Most of the hand me downs promised by frens not collected as yet and tis shy mummy oso paiseh to remind them about it.

Mummy ~ had a fall the other day even when it's not raining outdoor. Scare me for a good while and had to refrain myself from tearing as im super angry wif myself for being so clumsy and careless. It was a blessing in disguise that it as more like a slip and landed on my bum, reducing the impact of landed by bruising my knees. Shall send dat silly pair of 2 mths old sandals into the rubbish chute!

Putting on about 4 kgs since preggy which dun sound like alot but hor lose weight during the 1st 13 weeks wor so meaning the past 6 weeks pile on 4 kgs or more.... >_<" crossing my fingers and toes dat the total 'damage' in terms of weight gain will be kept to the minimal but tough luck. eating every 3 hrs...wat do u think. bump isnt very big thus look more FAT than preggy still!



went to comex (whole time both hands protecting my tummy among the scary crowd) and bought a compaq 17" lappy to quit fighting wif hubby over desktop.


Job search ~ still no picture no sound. out of 10 calls for interviews, 9.5 offhand rejected, 0.5 only 1st interview successful. We shall wait and see then! weekly sending out almost like 30 - 40 resumes is no joke okay but I SHALL NOT GIVE UP!!! PRESERVE ON!!! wish mi lots & lots of luck!

Out of Job

I'm officially out of job as of last Fri....much as I wish to be a Stay At Home Mum (SAHM) but with the ever rising inflation and standard of living...tough luck!!!

Job search still in progress but it's realli disheartening when out of 10 calls coming in with invitation for interviews....10 were rejected in a good manner. Even temp jobs for few months oso reject preggies...aren't preggies able to work afterall?

Isit so tough to start a family...watsup with all the hoo-haa about responding to the calls of the society...doing our part by chipping in some help to raise the birth rate BUT in return we are slapped with discrimination against pregnancy, dsicrimination against preggies trying to get a job.

Now I may sound like one of those typical Singaporean forever complaining but look, these are reality of life and it's really happening but who ever look into the root cause and nipped the problem in the bud...sound like a tall order.

With all these on-going and much-talked about, how many women would risked their career to start a family when majority of the companies are never near the mark of being pro-family...ask around the mums around u and u will know.

Guess all I could do now is to pray for a better tomorrow and better luck coming my way.

Tingkat

our 1st time ordering tingkat services as we are tired of eating out and cooking - ran out of ideas on wat to cook le.

did not realli do much research but tumble upon a brochure left at our doorstep thus decide to try the 5 days trial services with Kim's Kitchen at the price of only 40 bucks.

to our surprise, the 3 dishes + 1 soup taste good. Today's dishes were fried brinjal with minced meat, ngoh hiang and braised duck with 2 eggs. Soup of the day is old cucumber soup. It is not too oily, not too salty and best of all not much MSG.

If all goes well for the remaining 4 days, likely to consider them for long term.

Handsdown

nope...not asking for u to put ur hands down but tis kiasu mummy here is 'appealing' for hand-me-downs for babies......although I am only currently into my 13th week...=p

anything is welcome....not much criterias except stuff to be in working condition...

prefer Baby to use handsdown as it was believed that Baby will be more well-behaved and definitely need not splurge too much since babies outgrown their stuff real fast....

so if you have anything to give away, keep mi in mind okie....=)
