Medical bills = $$$

I received my medical bills a couple of weeks ago actually.. if not wrong, ard 1 week after i'm discharged from hosp already gotten... but wasn't too clear about the items stated in the bill.. was quite high, but will not reveal how much it was...(dun ask me how much ok?) but was roughly around the amount tat i had anticipated..

Hubby asked me to call NUH to ask if can ask for higher claim for medisave, as i dunno the amount was deducted from Medisave already or not.. if it's deducted already, then i can really faint.. the staff from the bill payment department called me back n answered my enquiries.. luckily, the amount wasn't deducted from the claims from Medisave yet.. so she sent me 2 forms to fill up for the claim for medisave.. at most can claim up to 1.8K, stated by the govtment, so cannot claim more than that.. so have to wait for the claiming of Medisave, then NUH will send me another revised bill..

a few days ago, received reminders from the hosp tat i haven't pay my bills.. but i haven gotten the revised bill from NUH yet, then y must I pay the initiated amount? So i emailed to NUH again to enquire on this part.. so the person replied me telling they had actually received my medisave claim forms, n still processing.. asked me to ignore the reminders then.. i was like, phew...

Just now went to open letter box, saw the letter from NUH, n i could guess tat it should b the revised bill liao..n indeed it was.. after deduction from medisave, i saved 1.8K.. phew.. tot all my bonus is gone just to pay this medical bill.. n in the end, i saved 1.8K, gotta go pay the bill tmr.. my bonus is so pathetic, coz my basic quite low.. pay medical bill liao already more than half of my bonus gone.. but at least, dun have to pay TAT much lah.. 1.8K leh, very impt to me man..

Gotten Jaden's a/c pin number just now too.. will deposit some money into his CDA a/c soon.. hubby said there's no rush to deposit so much $ into it, as it can't b withdrawn as well.. n govtment will deposit dollar-for-dollar too.. n it can only b used for a few years, govtment will only give up to 6K, so i will deposit a few hundreds into it.. another sum of money gone..
walao, giving birth in s'pore really will burn hole in pocket man.. somemore i chose A ward, more exp.. stayed 1 more day bcoz of Jaden too.. but no choice lah, money gotta spend for all these.. cannot afford not to work leh, or else life will b very hard for hubby if he's the only breadwinner.. may go back to teach tuition after work next year in order to earn more $$ as hubby isn't earning tat really much money aniway..

Life is not tat wealthy, so gotta live the way we can afford, aniway i had never tot of having a tai-tai life lah, not possible oso.. Slowly earn back the money if possible loh.. all is about money.. we women cannot rely on hubby totally on finance, even though he may b able to support, like tat hubby very pathetic leh, whole brain is about how to earn more money for the family.. very shiong.. i have to b strong..

But b mentally prepared, me is natural birth, bill already quite high.. if caesarean, will b roughly around twice the amount.. $$$...

He is growing up day by day

Jaden is turning 1 month old this Sunday... so fast ah, i didn't get a chance to weigh our precious.. dunno how much he gained weight.. all i know is, he is growing day by day...

Jaden is becoming more like me.. i found out tat he has some features tat look like me.. every1 said his lips look so much like mine.. n now, when he is doing funny faces, his lips will do many diff kinds of pattern.. just like me loh... haha...

This precious prince of ours really loves to stretch himself.. n full of noise.. MIL said he is becoming 'longer' liao.. hope he can b tall when he grows up.. next week, he has to visit doctor twice, 1 at polyclinic, 1 at NUH.. hope all his checkup is ok loh.. so far, he is still ok.. i hope there isn't any complications lah.. coz babies at their age is really low in immune system.. will fall sick easily... thus, not safe to bring him out even though after 1st month..

It is really happy n joyful when i see him everyday.. though I may feel lost when he cries non-stop.. but as i said, he can only cry to express his feelings.. wat to do?? n sometimes he can really cry out loud... very loud..

He is a playful baby.. will want us to talk to him.. n he may listen lah.. but of course he won't understand.. just listening to voices n recognising smells... hope he has gained much weight after changing his formula milk loh.. we want to see him growing up healthily day after day!

I'm thankful

i felt thankful to all my friends, relatives, colleagues who had been showing their concern towards me n Jaden for the past 3 weeks...

Ever since i gave birth to Jaden last month, many ppl came to hosp n visit us, came to our house n chatted with me n also to see Jaden when we were discharged from the hosp.. they not just come in person, n also come with either gifts or ang baos...

there r simply too many ppl i wana thank.. (sorry if i left any1 out as there r simply too many).. Family: my parents, my sis Angie, my bro Weiwen (with his gf).. they will always pop by our house when they r free.. my mum bought 2 jewellery for Jaden.. sis bought a car plate for me to put.. Bro gave Jaden an ang bao..

Relatives: cousin Liling (with her bf), cousin Xiande n his wife, my uncles from maternal side n their families, like my 2nd uncle n family, 4th uncle n wife, 5th uncle n family, my 6th uncle, my maternal grandma.. they had given Jaden ang baos when they come over.. my maternal grandma n mum even bought jewellery for Jaden..

Friends: my sec sch pals like Kelly n Roderick with Princeton, Jas (with her bf), Gladys n Jeremy.. Kelly n family bought gifts for Jaden when they come over to NUH n visit us.. Jas too.. she even printed out a 4R pic of Jaden, with his DOB n time, got it laminated n give it to us.. a good momento really... Gladys, my secretary, now preggy too, came to hosp n visit us too.. Online friends like Sherrie n Lawris sent vouchers to our house.. they r simply too sweet!!! My pals Jie En n Shuzhen from NIE.. Jie En came to visit me when i was in hosp.. she very busy n even find time to come over.. Shuzhen came over to our house today n passed me chicken essence, bird's nest, toys n clothes pack for Jaden...

Colleagues from PHPPS: thank the sch n staff welfare for the gifts n vouchers.. tingting, xinyi, kavitha, Bee Yan, Maine, Huiyu, AR, Jianzhong, Wanqiu, Huihui, Weixin, Kris came n visit us, n also brought gifts n ang baos.. my CL department colleagues who can't come over also asked them to pass me an ang bao.. my co-core dpartment colleagues wrote me a card n i'm thankful.. n my shifu Mrs Yeo.. she went online n ordered a hamper for Jaden too..

Hubby's family, like my ILs family, SIL n hubby, his cousin Wenxian n wife Xiaoling, n gugu... all these ppl also must thank.. the person tat must mention is my MIL.. coz she helps in my confinement by coming to our house everyday to cook meals for me, do housework, take care of Jaden.. when hubby next day didn't work, she will then go home n rest, next day morn come again n help.. it's very tiring for her.. if hubby needs to work, she will spend the night at our house to take care of Jaden, esp in the mid of the night.. it'll b very busy for her to go into the kitchen to cook at the same time when Jaden is making noise.. tough on her to handle house chores n taking care of 1 baby..

There r also other ppl to thank, like MIL's friends, who bought a toy for Jaden.. but he can only ride on it when he is much older.. Sis' godma Aunty Mary for baking a cake for us when she came over, n even gave Jaden an ang bao.. Dad's friend who bought a Pooh gift pack for Jaden too...

Hubby will ask me if there is any1 visiting me next day, as he said there r so many diff ppl who will come n visit me every few days.. i told him bcoz i popular n have many good friends mah haha.. i felt really thankful as u know, doing confinement cannot go out.. they come n visit me n chat with me makes my time more relax n joyful.. thank all of u for your concern, regardless if u had come n visit me or not, or just a simple SMS, a message from Multiply a/c, i'm really thankful n happy... THANK U SO MUCH all of u!!

Who does he look like??

Sometimes when i look at Jaden, he does look a bit like me, when i was young.. but certain angle, he does look at Wentong.. but of course he will look a bit like the both of us lah.. it proves that he is from the right 'company'..

When he was just born, every1 commented that Jaden looks like Wentong.. some even said he's the photostated version of Wentong.. n of course i had to admit.. he does look so much like his dad.. but now, when i look at him, i find him not look so much like his dad liao.. has a bit of my looks liao leh.. haha..

but of course, no matter who he looks like, he is our precious son...

His eyea r getting bigger liao.. this is what i think lah haha.. i like kids or people with bigger eyes.. Jaden will definitely look great if he has big eyes.. a pity he doesn't have dimples.. or else will b much cuter... hehe.. but nvm lah, he is our baby prince, my precious..

Though the whole preg was as long as 38 weeks, there were many things n food which i had to restrain, but it was worth it when the moment he was born, we knew he was healthy, n he could cry out loud.. he is 3 weeks old liao, n i see him growing up day by day... though it might b a bit tough to wake up every few hours to make the formula milk for him, every now n then when he pees or poos, gotta change cloth diaper ( daytime ) or pampers (night), gotta pacify him n carry him when he wails, but having baby is like tat.. it is a process to go through.. it can b very tiring n exhausting, sometimes even frustrating, as u dunno what he wants, but as my colleague said, this is the only way to express how he feels, n the only way is by crying, so gotta b more patient..

sometimes see him smile, we will all b so happy.. see him frown n cry, we felt heart ache.. this is the feeling of all parents... all we hope is, he grows up healthily n happily..

1 more week to the end of confinement

finally, i'm down with 1 last week of confinement... next fri will b my last day liao.... yeah..

hubby is off today, actually he has OT tmr, but noon time received a call from his supervisor, his OT for tmr is cancelled.. so this week he dun need to do any OT.. his company is cutting down on OT days, so i think hubby will have much lesser money liao.. headache..

I'm down with slight cold.. dunno y will down with cold also lah.. later will sleep early, hope tmr will get better.. wat i scared is, will transmit the virus to Jaden.. coz his immune system is still not developed..

Jaden is throwing temper now.. kept crying.. MIL has been carrying him n consoling him.. dunno wats wrong with him also.. no choice, he cannot speak, so all he can do is to cry.. Tonight, we have to take care of Jaden ourselves again.. luckily yesterday, he can sleep, n allowed us to sleep a while too lah.. we put him in his playpen n sleep, n there was time tat he slept so well.. hope he can adapt to the correct timing soon loh, as he is approaching 1st month very soon, which is next week!! wow, so fast!! so happy leh..

End of confinement is friday, n 2 more days after tat will b Jaden's 1st month celebration.. Hooray!!

Finally can bath liao

People always say, during confinement cannot bath n blow wind etc traditions.. some women stayed to the tradition as in not bathing for whole 40 days.. some use chinese herbs...

For me, for the past 2 weeks of my confinement, i only wipe myself with hot water with white rice wine..hair wise, MIL bought me a kind of dry shampoo, which acts like a spray.. just spray on my hair, n it won't make my hair so oily.. my MIL everyday will prepare for me.. but from today til the end of my confinement, i can bath liao!!! MIL boiled a pail of hot water, together with the chinese herbs she bought from M'sia, and a pail of boiled ater ( cooled after tat ), and i have to mix both together n bath myself.. n finally i can bath myself with my shower foam n shampoo!!!

i'm in my 3rd week of confinement liao... tolerate for 1.5 weeks n i'll b free!!!

Jaden at Day 17

Jaden has been with us for the 3rd week liao, so fast.. Very soon will be holding his 1st month showers liao.. had ordered the buffet yesterday from Liang caterer, hope the food will b nice loh..

Jaden is practically changing everyday.. the Tay family came over a few days ago.. bringing their precious Princeton.. he is growing so fast, n we kept asking Jaden to wake up n take a look at his elder brother.. Princeton was enjoying himself at our house, he kept laughing.. he likes wentong a lot.. leaning against him n will even hold wentong's hands!!!

I'm so happy tat during confinement, my friends came over n visit us, n chat with me.. i hope Princeton can always come over n visit us.. when Jaden grows older, i'll bring him over to Jiayi's house n let the both of them play together..

All i hope is, Jaden can adjust to the time here compared to his timing in my womb.. coz sometimes he won't want to sleep in the mid of the nite.. thus we lost our sleep too.. it's part of raising a child i know.. Our son so far still adapts well, though sometimes he would vomit the milk he drank.. but sometimes when i see him smiling at us, i would feel so happy.. got so worried when he cries.. we r looking forward to him growing up day by day, n really hope soon he can call us papa n mama...

Jaden at Day 14

Our precious Jaden turns 2 weeks old today.. he is changing everyday.. sometimes looks like hubby, sometimes feel like he looks like me.. haha.. but no matter who he looks like, he is our son..

Jaden needs to go polyclinic again tmr.. hope his jaundice level will drop to the safe level loh..
So fast, i'm going into my 3rd week of confinement SOON.. how i wish it could end soon.. coz cooping at home is really bored.. luckily, got friends coming over n visit us.. n chat with me.. or else so bored.. looking forward to the end of confinement, n it also marks the 1st month showers of Jaden... it's holiday season, so many of my colleagues are not in s'pore, so cannot attend..

Jaden has quite a number of stuff.. esp his clothing.. need to get a wardrobe or drawers for him to put at in-laws' house.. plan to put in our room in in-laws' house.. so need to do spring cleaning soon for our room after my confinement ends.. so tat some days we can sleep there.. there r still some months b4 i report back to work, so most prob will put Jaden at in-laws' house, n i will go over everyday to help out n take care of him.. can't expect my MIL to come over to our house everyday right??

Tmr, will go online to order the buffet food, n the full month cakes... 2 weeks for the shops to prepare.. more than enough time.. this time 1st month showers will also b house warming, as we haven done house warming yet haha... still thinking if to get a full month cake for Jaden.. must discuss with hubby 1st..

Jaden sometimes sleep will smile.. might b playing happily with the fairy at the nursery, or other kids in his dreams.. but sometimes he might b too playful or naughty that he will frown n cry in his dreams... he is very curious and likes to listen to people's voices.. i really hope he can learn fast n call us papa n mama soon.. hmmm... still a long way i know.. Looking forward to his 1st month showers, my precious Jaden!

Jaden at Day 10

Jaden turns 10 days old today.. it also marks tat hubby has to report back to work.. it's only half a day, n i already miss him so much liao..

Today at home, only left MIL n me, to take care of Jaden.. last night, Jaden slept with MIL, thus hubby n I can have a better rest.. though it was a bit funny that how come that night Jaden wasn't with us in the room, as we had somehow gotten used to have him in the room with us.. but hubby really need the rest so that he can have energy to work today..
After 10 days, Jaden's umbilical cord finally dropped off just now... MIL said it'll b easier to bath him n wrap him with diapers or pampers.. coz it can b a hinder to have the cord hanging around the tummy area..

Seeing him growing day by day.. just felt that life is such a miracle, esp giving birth to this precious gem of ours.. he is a blessing from God i know.. a gift for me n Wentong.. All i wish for is Jaden will be healthy.. coz nothing beats health.. We'd love to spend his growing days with him, n hope he can have a wonderful childhood!

i'm so sorry my hubby

dunno y.. yesterday night i felt so tired tat i couldn't make myself wake up n get off the bed n attend to Jaden.. it was hubby who woke up the whole night to feed Jaden milk n changed his diapers.. wat happened to me?

people always tell me during confinement, dun do anything but to rest n rest n rest.. how is it possible? i also helped out in making milk for Jaden, washing his bottles, changing his diapers too.. but yesterday night i really didn't do anything..

Hubby didn't wake me up.. the whole night he took care of Jaden.. until 7am+ then he can sleep.. coz Jaden needs to b fed n changed every 1-2hours.. so even if we get to sleep, is also sleep tat little while, then gotta wake up again.. whole night is like tat..
I felt so guilty, hubby needs to report back to work tmr liao.. n his work is 12hour shift, so he will b very tired.. it's been 1 week of confinement liao, which also means hubby didn't rest well for the past 1 week.. he managed to catch some sleep ard 7+ near to 8am.. but 10am+ woke up liao.. coz when MIL was bathing Jaden, he was crying so loudly tat hubby would not want to sleep again.. so there he was, awake..

Tonight MIL will stay overnight at our house to attend to Jaden, coz hubby needs rest in order to work tmr.. hope my precious hubby can have adequate rest later tonight..hope MIL can fully concentrate on taking care of our Jaden when we both report back to work force.. i can't just use all my energy n concentration on Jaden, as my hubby is also as important.. he has helped me a lot during this 1 week, n i'm so thankful.. he rather he himself tired also want me to go n rest instead.. after 1st month confinement, mayb will b better.. i'm so sorry n guilty hubby.. sorry

Happy 5th year anniversary

today marks the 5th year anniversary for hubby n I... so fast, we have been together for 5 long years.. every year we would celebrate this occasion, but not this year as i'm still doing my confinement..

finally, i've marked the 1st week of confinement.. 3 more weeks to go... hubby gave me a blue rose a few days ago.. he said it's for me to thank me for going thru all the pain n process in preg til the arrival of Jaden...

This year's anniversary not just consist the both of us, but the addition of Jaden into our family.. Hubby loves him very much.. kept talking to Jaden tat we r his parents, n he is our precious son.. though no present, no good meal, no shopping, but we r very happy.. all bcoz we have Jaden with us..

I'm so glad to have hubby b by my side for these critical few days of confinement.. he is going to report back to work this weekend.. which marks that i won't have his company the whole daytime, can only see him after work.. i will definitely miss him so much, miss his hug, miss his voice, miss his presence, miss his kiss... but no choice, living in s'pore is like tat, we gotta work to keep living.. though hubby doesn't earn much, but i am contented bcoz i have his care n concern, i have his love, i have his company.. wat does it make us women happy when our hubby is always not by our side??

I'm very contented to have Bong as my lifetime partner.. n i will always love him n our family with the whole of my heart.. HAPPY 5th ANNIVERSARY, hubby!!!

Arrival of Bong Jing You, Jaden

after 38 weeks of pregnancy, i've finally given birth to my baby boy Jaden on 21/11/2008 at NUH...

I have to thank so many people who r very concern about me.. after i gave birth, quite a number of them came to NUH n visit me n my Jaden of course... I dun find it tiring to entertain my friends n relatives who came the other day, coz i also want to share the joy with them, so i dun find them disturbing me..

After 3 days in hosp, both Jaden n I were discharged.. actually i can discharge 1 day earlier than Jaden, as he need to stay 1 more day for observation, but hubby n I can't bear to leave him alone there, so decided to stay 1 more night to wait for him.. hubby was with me the whole delivery til discharge.. ever since i was admitted to the hosp on 20/11/2008, hubby didn't have much sleep n rest.. he need to accompany me in the hosp.. n when at home, Jaden kept crying in the mid of the night, only managed to sleep in the morn, n thus poor hubby had to keep him company n take care of him til morn...

n daytime hubby need to handle some things for Jaden as i'm doing confinement, no one to share the burden with him.. he is very tired.. even daytime if he come back, he can only sleep for a few hours.. n then the rest of the night he has to keep an eye on Jaden.. hubby applied leave to stay at home with me to take care of Jaden.. but next week he needs to report back to work liao, it will b even more tiring n taxing on him.. It's all bcoz of our precious Jaden..

I hope Jaden can adjust to the correct momentum soon, so that both hubby n I won't b so tired n exhausted..

gynae visit tomorrow

i need to go back to my gynae tmr, as i mentioned b4 tat to check my water level... was feeling rather nervous.. dunno water level got decrease further or not leh.. gam jiong...

if drop further, then need to induce labour.. oh my..

these few days kept getting the feeling of contraction, but not the real delivery pain.. tats y had a strong hunch that our son will come out n join the family this week, or end of this month... in my 38th week already, he is considered full term liao... so it's also time for him to come out liao loh..

many ppl said normally 1st child will deliver early ard 2-3 weeks b4 EDD.. i'm just 2 weeks away from EDD... hope my boy doesn't give me a hard time.. some colleagues saw me still energetic, commented tat i may have a smooth delivery, or will deliver very fast.. i oso hope so loh.. coz i dunno how much i can tahan with the pain.. coz many ppl told me the side effects of epidural, which made me ponder if i should opt for it or not.. but of course, if threshold of pain is high, then can dun choose epidural.. but how much i can stand?? i oso dunno... so as one of my colleague advised, see wat my gyane suggest, then decide..

i hope tmr's checkup is ok lah.. i dun wish anything bad to happen.. all i want is my son to b healthy leh.. i want him to discharge from hosp with me n go home with me leh...

Waiting for delivery

last thur went for gynae apptment, finally after so many months, i've reached the stage of 'anytime to deliver'...

water level check wasn't tat ideal.. gynae said must b above 10, but mine was 8.8.. so she said next thur must go back to her again.. if continue to drop, then i gonna admit to hosp for induce labour liao..

next week still gonna go back to sch for staff development week.. which starts at 8.30am daily.. so sianzz...

til today, still dun have the sign of delivery.. dunno when this precious son of ours wana come out... gynae scanned n said there's no much space for our son to move around in the body.. mayb due to the petite size of his mummy.. oppss.. haha... i'm still thinking if i can bear with the labour pain, or i can just simply opt for epidural... i just hope the delivery is smooth n baby is healthy.. so tat when i discharge, he can also go home with us together.. daddy n mummy are waiting patiently for your arrival ok?? hope u can b a good n obedient boy!

Outfits that MIL bought

MIL came back from Taiwan a few days ago... yesterday, hubby needed to work again, so i'm alone during the weekends AGAIN... cannot stand his supervisor... last month told hubby if he worked that Sat, this month won't ask him liao, coz they knew i'm delivering soon.. n now what?? still asked him to support for 1 saturday leh!!! Sats are very impt to me.. coz Sunday is his shift, i understand n had gotten used, so it's only Sat that we are left with to spend with each other... i was obviously unhappy when i got to know that a few days ago, n hubby took quite some time to pacify me...

As usual, I acc MIL to go eat breakfast, then go over to their house... gugu came quite late, then we played mj as usual lah.. MIL showed me the 2 outfits that she got for our boy.. 1 is bee outfit, 1 is my fav blue colour outfit.. it's those kind of 1 suit.. i always think that babies wear whole suit will look nicer n cuter.. i love the bee outfit... but he can only wear when he's around 3-4 months old...

Til now, i still dun have any signs of delivering... but everyday will feel my boy's movement in the body.. sometimes so hard that i kept whining to hubby.. n he had to come over n talk to bb.. i hope he gives me the signal when hubby is with me at home.. dun happen in school leh.. i still can't go on leave.. n most imptly dun wana touch on my maternity leave.. so gonna tolerate.. but we r indeed looking forward to his arrival.. hubby hopes he can look like him, while i hope he has my nose n eyes.. character wise, as good temper as hubby loh.. but not as lazy as him.. ahhaha!!

Today's prog also quite good lah.. going for Yanfang's wedding in the evening at Furama Riverfront, which i will go the 3rd time... looking forward to see the pretty bride!!

A place for my baby to sleep

we had gotten the stuff ready to welcome our boy!! finally is the sleeping place for him..

actually we had gotten his playpen ard 2 weeks ago, but haven fixed it until yesterday... n also went to buy the mattress, bed sheet n protector.. the pillows n stuff gotten a few weeks ago too..

after fixing the playpen, both hubby n I were happy with it.. it's very easy to fix actually.. less than 5 min n it's done...

I gotta wash the cot sheet this weekend.. just to prepare to lay the mattress.. n it'll b perfect.. we dun wana get the normal mattress, so got this kind of more exp one, which is more airy for our boy to sleep on... n it cost us $130.. wa piang... but for his own good, also must buy lah... no choice..

Raising a child is not cheap hoh.. giving birth to a child also not cheap.. buying baby stuff is never cheap too.. wa piang.. everything in s'pore so exp... hope my boy can b healthy, n can come home n see his playpen.. n sleep well on it too!!

Down with flu n on MC for 4 days

Was down with bad flu today.. hubby asked me not to go work, n got to see a doc today,n there i went..

no fever, but was badly down with flu.. cold n cough.. blocked nose.. doc said i need adequate rest since i'm so near to delivery.. so asked me to stay at home n rest for the rest of the week.. tmr morn will still go back to sch to finish off some things b4 i go back home..

Had slept so much today. mum was on leave already,so went over as hubby scared no one to take care of me.. went over n slept most of the daytime.. mum cooked porridge.. eat already go sleep again..

Doc said if fever comes in within these few days, then i may need to go on longer mc.. i told her my leave to stay at home to wait for delivery was rejected by my gynae.. she was shocked to hear that.. coz my work for this year will stop when i'm in my 38th week.. so i actually requested to start resting from 37th week, which is next week.. but gynae refused to give in, as she said my medical status everything was ok, there is no reason for her to give me such a long rest to stay at home.. i refused to start my pre-maternity leave, tats y need to slog til my 38th week.. but who knows, by now i fell sick liao..

My MC for this year is totally finished if not wrong... so i oso dunno wat to do... initially wana throw mc during the 38th week, but now bcoz of the flu bug, my last few days of mc was used up.. but doc said bcoz scared my flu bug will affect bb, so has to stay at home n recuperate fully.. hopefully bb is ok...

Pre-Anniversary Celebration

exactly 2 months later will b our 1st year wedding anniversary... but we won't b able to go out n celebrate as i'll still b at home doing my confinement.. somemore today is my checkup with gynae, so both hubby n i won't b going to work... so we decided to go HIA eat buffet dinner to pre-celebrate our anniversary.. had gotten a 1-for-1 voucher from Courts, so grab the chance to go eat b4 i deliver

seen my gynae this noon.. didn't see our son in the machine.. only checked his heartbeat n the dimension of my big tummy... 34cm if i didn't forget... gynae said the length is ok.. she touched my tummy n said bb's head is downwards now, which is normal when we r near to delivery..

Gotta go back to her to check for water level 2 weeks later, which is my 37th week of pregnancy.. which also means may deliver anytime by then... looking forward n at the same time felt scared of the pain that i'm going to go through..

When we went back to HIA, it really brought us a lot of memories.. nice memories.. had our solemnisation there.. had relatives n good friends to share our joy at the banquet.. everything was so nice then.. we still love the atmosphere there.. it gave us a warm feeling.. didn't regret holding our big day at HIA.. Happy Anniversary!!

Cut hair liao!

Went for my haircut yesterday.. the length was somewhere shoulder length lah.. so much shorter than my usual hair length, but can still tie up...

It's been 11 years ever since i cut short hair.. my last short hair style was when i'm 15 years old.. every1 commented that i looked very young when i had short hair... so i got fed up, ever since i dun keep short hair... always had long hair, til now, 11 years later, here i am, with short hair again!! oh my...

I always loved my hair.. haha.. but no choice, i gotta get myself mentally prepared for confinement... of course, many ppl said i looked more refreshed with short hair.. but i prefer long hair, as i can tie n do many diff things to it.. my hair is naturally straight, but i always liked to make it curl..

Trust me, after confinement, i gotta make sure my hair will b long again!!!!!

Getting ready to welcome our boy

yesterday went to IMM with hubby, MIL, wenxian n xiaoling.. we had breakfast there n did some shopping...

brought hubby n MIL there bcoz wana let hubby see the playpen, then decide which kind of playpen to buy for our boy... after some discussion n explanation from the sales assistant, we decided to get the blue playpen.. it has Tazmania cartoon on it.. it can be lowered when he wants to play, then can let him play inside the playpen.. then it can b adjusted to a higher level when he is going to sleep..

As time draws near, the days our boy is joining into the family is arriving soon.. but of course dunno when, coz i opt for natural birth, so gonna see when he wana come out loh haha.. after carrying him for so many months, so fast now 8th month liao.. going through the pain stage soon, which is the delivery.. ppl asked if i'm scared, i dunno how to react, bcoz the time hasn't arrive, i oso dunno how much i can endure.. bcoz of this boy of ours, i've not been drinking coke, coffee, pineapple drink for many many months!!! how i wish to drink again after delivery.. but MIL said i have to watch my diet for the next 40 days after delivery to build my health back.. so after the delivery, still gonna wait for at least 40 days..

We r looking forward to his arrival.. next week going for gynae apptment again, hopefully everything goes on smoothly, n our boy will be healthy n cute!

i got it back!!

As some ppl who know, last year when i signed up my bridal pkg with Seletar Broadway, our photo was selected as 1 of the display picture for them to advertise in bridal magazine n during their roadshow..

the rejected photo was taken in a church located in Hougang.. the uncle got it nicely framed n touched up, put on the wall for display last year.. Wanqiu n I saw it with our own eyes when we were shopping at Suntec last year.. they always had road show there..

Uncle promised me to give me after the roadshow, but always didnt receive their call.. as time goes by, i also gave up that they would keep..until yesterday...

After visiting Kris' house, i went to meet up with hubby's cousin n his fiancee.. accompany them to some bridal shops that she has shortlisted.. dun wish to say more abt the wasted trips to Tanjong Pagar.. After visiting 2 shops there, we went to Seletar Broadway

Meiqin was the 1 who served us the whole session yesterday.. after some discussion, they decided to sign up with Seletar.. Surprised that they still remembered me.. oppss.. mayb blacklisted me last year liao.. haha... i was talking to Meiqin abt the photo tat they had promised to give me.. so kept asking her.. she went to ask that tall tall uncle.. uncle said he did keep it in the shop, n i requested to have it since it was his promise.. he joked about paying money for it if i want, but of course i told him he didnt mention i need to pay leh.. haha

So after that, he really took it out from the room, still nicely maintained.. he said it cost 1K+ as he did it big n the touch up things.. very nice lah... so bo bian, he gave it back to me,i should say that.. haha.. who ask him to promise me.. but anyway, i brought someone to support them, casually asked abt the picture oso not overboard right? i was just trying my luck to b frank.. haha

So, after tat, they helped me to carry this big picture back.. hubby was surprised that i managed to 'ask' for it... haha.. but now coz near delivery date, cannot put any nails or wat, so most prob will hang it after i deliver.. I FINALLY GOT IT BACK!!

So bored w/o hubby

Life in s'pore is really tedious n fast-paced... every1 is working so hard to earn a living.. work from morn til the sun sets, some even had no free time for themselves, just simply digging themselves in the work...

This weekend is again one without hubby.. he was pointed to provide support for Sat's OT.. n Sunday is always his shift, so there goes our weekend... His supervisor promised him tat he won't b touched for the coming next Sats, as i'm drawing near to delivering..

Though had gotten used tat hubby can't accompany me on Sundays, as he already started wrking for this company b4 we got married.. but i was really reluctant to see him go work on a Sat..

Sometimes i got so bored tat i spent all my day at home surfing net, taking nap... But yesterday i didn't want to.. i went back to my parents' place.. dug my bro up from his bed, n asked him to accompany me to sing KTV... after going for lunch at taman jurong, we went opp Partyworld to sing.. bro said Kbox has little new songs.. he didn't know Taman Jurong Market there has a Partyworld.. so i brought him there.. by the way, it was also my 1st time visiting that branch.. but i had seen it there b4 lah, so i know..

We sang near to 4 hours b4 going for dinner with our parents... time just flies after singing our hearts out.. i got to see hubby again liao at night..

Today, he went to work as usual.. n i will always wake up to greet him n talk to him a while b4 he leaves for work.. today's prog for me also exciting hoh.. haha.. i will be leaving to my colleague Kris' house soon.. having a gathering there with other of my PHPPS colleagues.. Kris will b cooking lunch.. She lives at Wdlands, a place i'm very unfamiliar with, so gotta set off early to find my way there.. i will leave early as i'll be meeting hubby's cousin n his fiancee.. will accompany them to some bridal shops n see what i can bargain for them..

Hubby is happy tat there is someone to accompany me, as he is also scared that i'm alone... but no choice lah.. gotta earn more money!!

Pram for our boy

spent 4 hours at IMM just now with mum, 4th uncle n aunt.. we eat, walk around, n shop for pram..

the initial pram tat we were interested in wasn't too suitable for our newborn bb.. so the salesperson recommended us a few more.. n we were happy with this particular one..

after listening to the explanation from the salesperson on how to use the pram n etc knowledge, we all agreed to get the pram...

sis mentioned long ago that she will sponsor the pram.. i've been looking around, making sure i dun buy a pram which is too exp.. coz dun wish to spend sis' money too much oso.. there r some prams which cost at least $300.. this is ok, $239... n somemore has my favourite BLUE colour, so i told mum i wanted this.. coz the one in display was a pink one...

After buying the pram, 4th uncle helped to carry.. after a fruitful trip to the Kids Mall, we chatted n drank tea.. 4 hours later, we left IMM... another thing bought!! so happy!

gynae apptment 09-10-08

went for my gynae apptment yesterday.. we double confirmed our bb is a boy as we can see his 'organ' so clearly this time, compared to the other time..

he is growing well.. approximately 2kg liao.. wanted to capture a closer look on his face, but this time, he covered his face again like the other time.. he was sleeping yesterday when we were doing the scanning.. his hands covered half of his face...

My next apptment will b 3 weeks later.. by then, will need to go back to my gynae every once a week liao.. as by then, i'm already at the stage of 'ready to deliver' anytime..

has chosen the A1 ward, which is 1 person in the room... i dun wish to share the 4 persons room, which is B2, though it'll b much cheaper.. as i prefer privacy.. if i want hubby to stay with me, at least he can sleep in the room with me... i just hope the delivery process is smooth, so that no complications.. baby will deliver smoothly, n my hospitalisation bill won't b that expensive oso..

will b waiting for our precious boy's arrival!!

Sherrie's Wedding 04-10-08

hubby accompanied me to Sherrie's wedding last evening.. Sherrie was one of the Seletar Broadway bride tat i knew online.. n we got along well.. so during her wedding, she invited me, n Lawris..

Her wedding was held at Le Meridien, which is now Concorde Hotel... Funny, hotels like to change name every now n then.. in the past, the banquet venue tat we held at Holiday Inn Atrium was called Concorde, n now this name 'Concorde' is used on Le Meridien liao..

I've always missed our wedding, though it was over around 10months ago.. the atmosphere in the ballroom was good.. in fact, i went there b4 as we had our TDD there 2 years ago... but then, the food sucks.. now, the food is much better.. mayb is bcoz the change of management n etc reasons..

We enjoyed the dinner a lot.. the wedding favour i oso like.. haha.. it's a coaster.. with the picture of a cartoon couple.. Though hubby n I left b4 the dessert came, but we really enjoyed ourselves there... May u have a blissful marriage ahead my friend!!

my enriching weekend

This weekend was a busy week man.. haha.. just came back from my near to 5hour of shopping spree at JP.. walk until leg pain... serves me right.... didn't drive to JP, tats y didn't bother abt carpark fees n etc matter... my mum was with me the half day, n we carried so many stuff..

yesterday, 8.30am went to the gynae clinic for my 1st blood test.. woke up as early as 7am.. hubby was laughing tat i'm joining the Muslims for fasting.. drawn my 1st blood test, given a bottle of glucose drink, orange in flavour. required to finish within 10min. the more i swallow, the more uncomfortable i felt,dunno y also.. felt so bloated n sweet tat wana vomit.. but tolerated. sat in the clinic n waited for my 2nd test which was at 10.30am.. gotten ready the stuff to keep us entertained while waiting.. hubby playing with his PSP, while i'm doing my word search book...

Finally, 2hours passed, n i can go for my 2nd blood test.. nurse said after taking the 2nd blood test, i can go off liao.. so after that, hubby n I proceeded to IMM for breakfast cum lunch.. after filling our hungry stomach, we went to Kids Mall.. i showed hubby the pram, playpen n the cot.. in the end, we bought a 10pc bedding set for baby, brushes to wash the milk bottles, n a bedding blanket to cover baby..

Spent around 2hours+ at IMM... then we proceeded home to take a nap as we were very tired.. slept for around 2hours, then we went to have a light bite.. went to visit my FIL as we bought frog leg porridge for him to eat, then went off to meet his cousin Wenxian & his wife Xiaoling for dinner..

Today, went to JP at around 12pm.. bought quite a number of stuff, but tats all for the maternity.. i have to start buying stuff.. esp personal stuff to b used during my confinement.. those who had delivered shld koe what i mean..*shy*
spent quite a sum of money too loh.. haha.. baby stuff r not cheap.. but they r simply too many choices to choose from liao.. see until eye blur already.. but we didn't buy any toys yet which i think is still early.. i dunno what i am lack of, or what else to b bought.. but at least get those necessities ready 1st.. n esp things tat i need to use when i'm in hospital, or when i'm discharged to start my confinement.. i dun like to do things @ the last minute.. if things i can buy on my own or settle on my own, i wouldn't want to trouble other people... i must start brainstorming on what else i need to buy, b4 i'm too weak to walk or shop..

i think i may need to buy a mattress set, which i dunno if it is necessary.. i better discuss with hubby 1st.. or see who wants to buy for me haha.. gotta go round asking ppl on what to buy liao.. just in case i forget by then... better to buy now rather then to forget n buy @ the last minute as hubby is very clueless on what we need.. counting down to December!!

New Generation Kids

In the older generation, kids listen to the teachers.. they dun dare to be disobedient.. but the new generation kids now are so much smarter.. they get to climb n crawl earlier, they learn things earlier too.. n they turn astray earlier as well..

Kids now r so much harder to teach.. part of the reasons r bcoz of the difficult parents.. n their upbringing.. kids now are all so precious.. parents more demanding... n then they spoilt their children.. when they r in the school, they behave as if they r the king..

Bcoz parents r so highly educated, they tend to b very busy with their work.. n thus has less time with the children.. n wat has resulted? children tend to be attention seekers in school.. they hope to get the teachers' attention.. n the ways that they use are so extreme n irritating.. bcoz that was what they have been doing all the while at home as well.. parents r so protective towards their children.. any punishment they get in school, parents think that it's too harsh.. all bcoz they dun punish their children at all at home..

They always think children should b taught by love education.. cannot punish them, scold them, shout at them, or even physical punish them.. but we are all grown up by this kind of treatment from our parents isn't it??

U think it's useful this way to educate your child?? the technology now is so advanced.. children get exposed to many things at a young age.. they learn things fast, they learn bad things even faster.. use love and educate??? even when they are in the fault, parents choose to talk to them.. wat did they talk about?? only told the kids that this thing that they did was wrong, next time dun do it again ok? tat was it.. please lah.. won't b useful man.. the more educated the parents are, the more troublesome kids they will have.. strange matter..

Lantern Fantasy 2008 @ Chinese Garden 11-09-08

As promised, hubby brought me n baby to Chinese Garden to attend the lantern festival last Thur after my routine checkup with my gynae..

We spent ard 1.5hours there... so tired as we didn't take any break.. walked all the way... but it was fun... so many lanterns to see, and we took some pictures as well...

Next year, if there is such lantern festival again, i think we will bring our boy over to take a look.. they r colourful... babies r sensitive to bright colours.. i'm sure our boy will like it...

There r so many different Hello Kitty lanterns there... though it was tiring, but we enjoyed ourselves.. haha..

Hope i can go again next year...

Updates

came back from Kedah on Sunday morn.. ard 6.30am.. had a short rest at home b4 going out for lunch with hubby.. the trip back to s'pore wasn't tat pleasant, as the seats were not comfortable.. din sleep much during the trip... back aching like crazy, unlike the Five Star Tour bus tat we took when we set off to Kedah.. it was a 18-seater bus.. n it's very spacious.. good for hubby,as he is tall n has long legs,the space is big enough for him to stretch.. can even lie all the way down n yet won't affect the person sitting behind.. can watch movies from our seat too.. just like in an aeroplane!

We didn't go out tat day as we were tired.. so stayed at home n relax, until Kelly called us to ask us out for dinner... n there we went to Sunset Way.. had steamboat buffet.. each pax cost ard $33, but the variety of food is quite a lot...

We had a great time eating.. but i assumed i ate too much such heaty food.. yesterday when i was teaching halfway, i felt terrible.. having a bad headache, n my back was aching like crazy.. my shoulder hurts a lot.. felt like breaking.. went for tuition as usual, as my student will b having his oral exam the next day, gotta help him prepare...

Called hubby 15min b4 i end my class.. he went to get a queue number for me 1st.. after tuition, went to see my usual doctor.. i thought i may have fever coz felt heaty n hot.. but it wasn't... he gave me panadols to ease my pain in my head n my back..

went to eat dinner at Gek Poh.. had prawn noodles.. ate a few spoons only n felt like vomitting, so din finish the food.. at home, less than 1 hour, just b4 i went to bed, i vomitted badly... the feeling was bad. the whole night didnt sleep well as my shoulders ache badly.. until dunno wat time then can really sleep.. my body is disfunctioning... on mc today.. hubby asked me to rest more at home today, as tmr i need to report back to work again..

It was bad time for me.. ever since after my 1st trimester, i didn't experience any more vomitting until yesterday... i think the holiday was not relaxing as i thought it to be... may due to lack of rest the day b4, n heaty food at the buffet... scary experience man....

My Sept holidays

I suppose this will b my last overseas trip for 2008...

Will b delivering this coming Dec... Had gotten approval from boss to go back M'sia for this Sept holidays.. I told her i wana go back Kedah with hubby to visit his grandma b4 i deliver.. n bcoz 2009 New Year we won't b going back, so must make a trip back to visit her 1st...

Hubby was Bong family's 1st grandson... his grandma loves him a lot.. hubby also looks forward to go back Kedah every new year.. when we were still courting, every New Year i won't have his company... bcoz he will always go back there with his family to celebrate New Year.. So every year, we gonna celebrate my bday in advance, as my bday always lies btwn the New Year period.. but 2009 won't as New Year will b at end of Jan... 2009's New Year will have our son to celebrate with us..

Will b leaving in a few more hours' time.. things packed already.. will b waiting for hubby to knock off from work, then we will rush down to catch the coach.. will b back on Sunday..

I felt so blessed to have hubby's full company for these coming few days.. coz if we din go back, this holiday i will b at home alone most of the time.. as he needs to work.. so i'm happy to have him with me 24hours haha..

Ever since we got married, we had always been getting along well... i supposed we know each other for too long, and we already gotten used to each other.. From courtship to marriage, n now with our son joining into the family, to me, it is a gift from God. I thought i would never have the chance to meet a good man in this earth... Though no 1 is perfect, hubby isn't perfect, n neither am I, but we accomodate each other.. I'm happy to have him to b by my side til our hair turn white..

I want to have a good break these few days back in Kedah, though the coach journey is really LONG... but over there, the pace is slow, won't feel so much stress.. i wana refresh myself b4 th last term of 2008 comes... my tummy is getting bigger, n delivery date is drawing nearer day by day.. i hope my health n baby can take the stress n workload in school.. hope i dun need to take pre-maternity leave.. i want to b in the pink of health, so does my son.. Let's just enjoy the holidays 1st b4 the arrival of our product of love!!

My best friend Kelly & Rod

Yesterday, Rod n family came to our house to pay us a visit.... Kelly also brought along their Princeton to the house.. he's simply so cute!!

We had a long chat for around 2 hours+ b4 they went home... As Princeton was obviously tired... By the time my son is born, i think Princeton should b able to crawl liao bah.. an elder brother to play with him by then.. I'm sure they'll b very close brothers... Wat i scared is, my son might b a naughty boy, as he always kicks me in the tummy... Hope when he is born, he is a good boy n can communicate well with others..

In my point of view, we have many values to teach a child... in order to make him a better person in future.. hubby doesn't like spoilt kids.. neither do I.. but i told hubby, wat i think is impt is, we need to teach baby a value: Humble... i hate proud n arrogant people.. Hubby wana teach baby to b a filial person, which is also impt... there r simply too many values to b cultivated..

It's been a long time ever since i met up with the both of them.. they were also my emcees during our wedding banquet.. every1 praised them for their fantastic skills that night.. we used to go KTV often.. but now bcoz we r all married, parens, parents-to-be, so the frequency has decreased..

But something will not change is that, our friendship will always be true n strong!

Baby stuff updates

After mum bought some small items for her coming grandson a few weeks ago, my MIL also bought some things for bb..

Sat, my parents went with me to my ex-colleague's house.. she has prepared some 2nd hand stuff for me to take... she had many clothing n socks, hats for baby.. she even gave me a baby seat, to put in the car, n oso can hand carry.. milk pump oso.. this weekend may have to go up there again, as we still have some bulky items to carry home...

Yesterday, went JP with mum.. we went shopping n oso to take a look at baby's stuff.. like pram, milk bottles, sterilizer, pampers etc... had a rough idea on the prices, so next week go back Kedah,will go check out the prices.. if M'sia there is cheaper, then we will buy from there.. if no much different, then will buy in S'pore..

My mum asked me to start recruiting stuff for bb's arrival.. though i think it's still early... haha... i need to walk around n see longer as in what r the things tat i actually need... of course.. i will see who wana sponsor this, who wana sponsor that.. so that i dun need to look around again.. my sis will sponsor us a pram.. so i need to look around for a nice n yet affordable one... must b durable too, so tat bb can use for a few years.. dun wana spend sis' too much money.. so gotta see properly...

I'm not going to buy things for bb yet til my m'sia trip is over.. must see if the things there r cheaper or not.. if can, buy liao, come back s'pore no need to re-buy again..

Baby stuff tat mum bought in Ireland

Mum went to Ireland with small gugu n eldest gu zhang a couple of weeks ago to visit my sis... i didn't expect mum to buy anything for us as we all know stuff in Europe are expensive.. all i hope is she enjoy herself in Europe...

Sis brought them to quite a number of places, n mum was so happy tat she has always wanted to tour n see things...

When she came back, she bought quite a number of stuff.. haha.. she bought 3 stuff for baby... a water bottle, a pair of socks n a piece of clothing.. and it's all BLUE... haha... i'm so happy coz it's my favourite colour...

I was surprised tat she is actually willing to spend money in Europe... though din spend too much in the end... anyway, i was grateful n thankful for her kind gesture...

Hubby's 28th Birthday 03-08-08

at midnight 12am, i sang a simple birthday song to hubby.. wishing him a happy birthday.. n gave him the present.. when he saw the box, he could guess tat wat i'm getting him, n he was clever enough to guess it correctly...

we went to sleep rather late tat day.. and somemore need to wake up early as we agreed to meet my in-laws early to go for dim sum... n later that noon, i drove hubby to Suntec n we had Tony Roma for lunch.. oh my,it was so filling that we can't finish our food.. n of course, i drove the standby car that the insurance company lent me, as my Picanto is still under operation..

I'll b able to see my Picanto soon again this week.. will wait for their call... I'm so happy to have the chance to celebrate my every birthday with hubby, n soon with our precious baby who will b arriving in December.. i want to celebrate my birthday, hubby's birthday every year, and of course, we need to work hard to maintain our marriage, which i know we will definitely do it..

HAPPY 28th Birthday Mr. Bong!!

i was looking forward to the new start of Aug, though it also marks the 1st day of the Hungry Ghost Festival.. bcoz 2 more days to hubby's birthday...

This morn, i went back to my parents' place to get wrapping paper, so tat i can wrap the birthday present at my desk in the staff room.. so after gotten the wrapping paper, i wanted to head to the petrol station to pump petrol.. at the junction near our house, the red light was on, so had to stop my car.. my car was in stationary for a few munites n suddenly heard a big bump on my car n i was slightly jurked as i didn't put on seat belt.. my next reaction was, die liao, my car kana knocked liao...

indeed it was, was knocked by a big truck... the malay driver claimed that he was rushing to send delivery, n i told him i also rushing to work loh.. so the next reaction was, i asked him for his driving license so tat i can take down his IC number, name... i asked him for his company name, contact number of his n the company's.. n took down the truck's plate number... i brought my camera with me, so i went to snap pics of my 'disfigured' car...

I told the guy, i would call my car insurance agent n do the claiming from him n his company.. the boot has some parts dented, n was scratched.. it definitely needed painting or spray... my boot's lock came loose, n i couldn't get it locked.. my car's internal locks also bumped spoilt liao, gotta manually lock it, my brakes cannot lock it after the knock..

I called my agent straight.. n i drove to school, went to the general office, told my 3rd boss tat i needed to take UPA, as i need to drive my car down personally to do the report n claiming, n needed to be done within 24 hours.. 3rd boss said ok, ask me fill up the form n let her sign.. by the time i finished filling up the form, she was talking to big boss, so i went to the office,she told big boss abt my UPA, big boss immediately signed the form n asked me if i'm ok.. i do feel ok at that time.. my agent told me the insurance company's location, which i was unclear of where it is.. so i need to wait for him to drive down to my sch, n lead me the way there..
i have time to go lunch with my colleagues at 11am.. i waited for him til 12pm, n followed his car to Braddell... filling up the form, the crew need to inspect my car, take pictures as evidence n etc documentation to b done.. so suay right?

we spent around 2hours there, b4 i got the standby car, to use until my precious Picanto is ready for collection.. the crew said he will try to get it done b4 National Day.. after doing the documentation, i need to go my gynae for a checkup, to see if bb is ok.. coz my colleagues who knew the accident were worried abt me.. so as promised, i drove to the clinic, my gynae wasn't ard today, so i see the gynae who is available.. i told them i was involved in a car knock, so i was able to cut queue to do the checkup 1st.. the gynae checked the heartbeat, it was ok.. wat a relief.. but she told me, if later tonight i feel unwell, or even bleeding, i will have to go to the hospital straight.. yes, i do feel slight dizzy.. but gynae said it's normal.. so we see how it goes tonight..

after affirming that bb is ok, i went on to Pioneer Mall, HDB branch office to change my season parking temporary to the standby car plate number... i requested to make it a week, so when i get back my car, i just need to make a call n change it back to my Picanto's plate number will do... it's so troublesome...

i got an auto car 1.6 Lancer to drive for these few days... oh my, how many donkey years had i not touched an auto car huh... n somemore 1.6.. so big compared to my Picanto.. but no choice, the company has no stock for car which are 1.3 or 1.5.... so i gotta drive with care until my Picanto is ready to come back to me... Later, Weixin will b coming over to drive me, to go meet the rest of our colleagues for dinner n gossip session, as it's her last day.. we agreed to have a gathering.. though such a suay matter happened to me, but i still need to keep my promise to go with them.. i wonder how my Picanto is now, being 'operated'...

Trying out my new camera Sony T70

bought a new camera on Sunday... was rather pleased with it..

my colleague has one, there was one day tat she showed it to me.. it was really nice.. i had a bad week last week, not just work, but personal stuff made my mood go grey.. so in order to vent my anger, and also to quench my thirst in getting a new camera, i bought it!!! happy with it..

regarding wat matter tat angered me, i shall not elaborate.. as i really got upset abt it.. so upset tat it strained my r/ship with hubby.. we were both unhappy last week...

I lent my current camera to my mum, for her to snap pics in Ireland.. so b4 we set off to the airport on Sunday evening, i tried to snap pics of my precious Coco... look at him, doesn't even look like a 6-year-old dog.. still that innocent n naive puppy!!!
