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!!
