Touched...

"If I haven't told you recently that you are amazing, I am telling you now. Love, can't wait for Thursday to come!" These were the exact words that hubby posted on my wall on Facebook and I was shocked when the notification came in on my iPhone last night. For a man who needs my constant probing to tell me he loves me, this gesture was indeed rare and very precious to me, especially on a public social website! After 5 mins, he deleted that message though...realizing that the whole world could see it. :) When I showed it to N, she commented "Wow! Is daddy playing Truth or Dare?" Hahaha. But I was touched as I knew that he meant every word he wrote and the message brought tears to my eyes.

Down with flu and cough

I am down with flu and a bad cough for the 1st time since the pregnancy. I guess I am really tired, especially these 2 months since I came back home...have been flying around and working really hard. The doctor has given me 2 days MC and I figured that it's a good time to take a break, bond with my mum a bit, recharge myself and prepare for another busy festive season of dongzhi, X'mas, New Year, my birthday, then Chinese New Year and finally the arrival of our bundle of joy!

Received the good news of D's posting at 6:40am via SMS from MOE. He got posted to Tanjong Katong Secondary School Express and it's just 5 mins walk from our new place. Hubby is an old boy from the same school and he's proud that D made it. So many old TKSS boys in the family!

16 down and 2 more to go

Over the weekend, I have taken the final exams to the 16th subject of my MBA while hubby took his last 2 final exams in school. Hubby is done, completed his MSc in ISM and he is ready to embark on another new chapter of his career life, which is to come back to Singapore and try to find another job and/or do his own business. Meanwhile, I have 1 more final exams and 1 final project to complete my MBA in Jan 2011.

Well, all on schedule and I am happy that hubby is coming back to join me here in Singapore soon. We will also be welcoming our baby boy into this world in Mar 2011! And in 2 days, D will be getting his secondary school posting results and I am really anxious for him. Come 2011, D will be a full fledged teenager and I will also be reaching the big 40! N will also be sitting for her GCE 'O' levels exams end of 2011 which will more or less determine her future path. The past decade has gone by so fast! I wonder if the next decade will be faster...

Anyway in just 10 more days, we will be counting down to 2011 and a brand new start to our lives together as a complete family in Singapore. Thank God!

@ 27 weeks

Asked if there's anything I hate about my pregnancy, it's the terrible heartburn that I am experiencing everyday. I have heartburn after breakfast, after lunch and especially after dinner! I had a wonderful dinner last night which ended around 9pm but I was still suffering from this terrible heartburn at 3am in the morning! It's driving me mad! I hate it! I cannot lie down at all and even when I sit up, I couldn't get rid of it.

In the office, I sound like a giant frog and it's really embarrassing. And I hate that I am not given an office room in this damn Japanese company. Why do all the Japanese company like to have open-concept offices? What is so good about everybody being able to hear everybody else's coonversations? And not to mention everybody else's yawns, coughs, sneezes, nose-blowings, burpings, head-scratchings, farts, etc...*sigh*

My wishes for 2011:

1. Have a smooth delivery.

2. Get my MBA cert.

3. Find another job, preferrably with an US or European MNC.

Baby @ 26 weeks!

I have been back in Singapore for almost 2 months now and baby and I are doing fine except that I have grown quite uncomfortably big! I have put on 15kg! And baby is only a little short of a kg...He is normal size for his gestation age. I am guessing that he will be 3~3.5kg at full term.

I made a call today at the Singapore Cord Blood Bank to tell them that I intend to donate my baby's cord blood. The lady on the phone thanked me and asked me some questions regarding my health and my husband's health. They will call me up again when I am about 32 weeks and they will do a 45 minute counselling with the both of us and ask for further particulars. Anyway, I have read up all the clauses on their website and have decided that it's a good deed to donate our baby's cord blood to those who would need it.
