Bed Rest

I started spotting 1 week after I realised that I am pregnant and heavy spotting on the 3rd day of CNY. My gynae is quite alarmed with the volume and put me on bed rest. He almost wanted to admit me until I told him that I am just staying above my parents therefore my mum can take care of my meals during the daytime. Yesterday, I went for my last injection and are looking forward to see Bb's fetal pole this coming Friday.

I am trying my best to bed rest but it is really getting on my nerve. Basically, I am doing nothing except sleeping, eating and sleeping. I have a urge on Sunday for Korean food and Bok drove me out for a quick bite. Eventhough, the food is not so good but at least I manage to go out a short while. My appetite for food changed abit, not sure of it is my mindset problem but I just cannot stand the thought of eating rice arrgh.

I am telling myself to take things easy as maybe I overestimate myself and overworked myself during the CNY. I am praying hard that my spotting will stop asap and everything will be fine. Dear God, please give me a smooth 9 months ahead




Pregnancy Tickers

A Big Surprise for CNY

If I need to make a top 10 most memorable event for 2012 during the end of the year, one of it will definitely be the event which happened on 15 January 2012. While both of us were busy doing spring cleaning, I decided to secretly test on the last pregnancy kit left in the cupboard. Eventhough in my heart, I am telling myself that it is not possible but because I have some nausea feeling(which should not have in such early stage) therefore I decide to go ahead with the test.

The first instant I saw the result as negative and I am telling myself that it is alright and it is expected. I hid the kit in the dirty clothes basket as I do not want Bok to know about it. While I am still nursing my disappointments, I quickly return back to the toilet with the intention of disposing it. However, to my surprise, the kit now present me with a positive result. I could not believe my own eyes and start to suspect if my kit had expired. 

I still remember that look on Bok's face when I told him calmly that I am pregnant. He was at that moment sweating profusely as he is cleaning the window grilles. He do not believe me and thought I am joking with him until I showed him the kit. 

Both of us could not believe our luck as year 2011 is really a bad patch for us. To double confirm, I made him go guardian to buy another kit to test it out. Now, I am in my 4th week and crossing my fingers every day that everything is well.

Our luck is changing

We are supposed to be shopping at those factory outlets for CNY goodies with my inlaws. However, as informed by Bok's sis, the crowd is overwhelming and we decide to cancel the trip. Both of us, went to the old Woodlands shopping centre for lunch and also some CNY shopping at Sheng Shiong.

While shopping there, it happened to have the F&N promotion where the TSC actor Huang Wen Yong is there posing as Fortune God. Every $8 spent on F&N products entitled to 1 lucky draw dip and photography session with Huang Wen Yong. Me, the auntie of course cannot lose out on the opportunity. I made Bok buy 12 cans of 100 plus just for it. After payment, with my hands full of other merchandises I proceed to the lucky dip counter to queue. As I was waiting for my turn, I saw the gifts for the lucky dip and hope that I can win at least something more worth like 6 packs of drinks. My turn came and I tell myself that it is be some free red packets hahaha since I have never won any lucky draw in my entire life. I shown the ball to the person in charge and one of the young boy started to get excited and mentioned something like 1st, 1st, 1st. Then I saw  another boy brought out a big shopping bag full of items and told me that I won the 1st prize. A lady behind me started to congratulate me for my good luck and I cannot believe my luck. Then I am told to take a photo with Huang Wen Yong and I asked Bok to join me. The photograph is not something I have to mind to take but because I do not believe my luck therefore why not. At that time, Bok still do not know I had won the 1st prize and he still stared at me for taking the photography when we have our hands tight. 

Hahahah, I must said our end is definitely changing for the better and I hope it can remain this way for the whole of Dragon yr.

读万卷书不如行万里路

When I am a kid, I always envied those friends whose parents will bring them out on holiday during every school holidays. Not that my parents cannot afford but they are a batch of traditional folks where their main concern is earning more money. Having said so, we still managed to visit a few Asian countries like Thailand, Hong Kong etc.

As I grew older, going on holiday is like a reward to me. When I am too stress with work and life, I would go on a holiday to refresh myself. When choosing the countries to travel, my top priority is always the transport system in the country. As I do not drive overseas, therefore I like countries where its public transport is easily accesible. As I do not swim, therefore beach destinations are "no no" to me and I prefer a more modern and developed countries.With all these in mind, my favorite country to travel is Japan. I love the people and culture there. Everyone are so polite and helpful which also affected me to be like them. Japan is both modern and traditional where you can do shopping and yet visit shrine and temples. I always like to shop for kitchen accessories in Japan as Japanese are so innovative with their small gadgets that it never fails to amaze me.


I love the feeling of exploring, trying and seeing new things.After knowing Bok, I love the chemistry between   Bok and me during travelling. Bok is like my 3 year old niece, as he is always experiencing many first times in his 30s years of age. Therefore, watching him exploring and make funny mistakes makes the whole trip interesting. We have some unspoken rule that we will at least go holiday twice a year and sometimes even more.

Having repeatedly travelling to a couple of countries many times, my biggest wish now is to go Europe. I think I will not enjoy the treatment I am expecting to receive from there but I am looking forward to the bags that is asking me to buy them there. Bok will hate there as his pocket will burn a big hole as I will not be satisfy with just 1 bag to add on my bags collection. I am also hoping to revisit South Africa again as I did not see much of the country during my business trip many years ago.

2012, is a year of doubts again like 201.Where I have too many schedules to think and cater to and no big trip could be plan.
