Chloe's sleeping positions..=)

That cheeky look...

I'm exhausted!

2010-02-24T13:37:00.002+11:00

Taking care of a baby is really digging my brains out!! Especially when I have to do it alone. I sometimes think I'm doing so well on my own coz I still manage to have my meals and shower and do some house chores!! Well I guess I can't take all the credit, baby Chloe has her part. She's sometimes a good girl and sometimes not. Can't let her start to cry or over tire her or she'll wail like nobody's business. Times like these I wish my mom was around or I feel I'll go insane and just wanna throw her on the bed and forget about her crying (what a bad mother I am!!) But of coz she's my flesh and blood and I won't do that but sometimes it just takes its toll and does my head in! I sometimes think if I have any bit of post natal depression but to think deeper, I don't have emotional rollercoasters going on so I guess I'm still sane.

Thank God for my parents who asked me to go back to KL and they can help me look after her. At the same time I can go for some Pilates to help with getting back into shape! My weight and size is so so depressing! That's something I'd cry more about! Wonder when can I lose all the weight that I've gained.. Lost 12 kgs but still not enough.. there's another 12 more to go!! Things women go through just for a child!!!

Inducing...

2010-01-04T12:16:00.003+11:00

Ok today's the day.. well technically it's tomorrow but going in for the gel hoping to trigger the labor today! 4 hours in the hospital and what am I gonna do??? Boring.. well hopefully I won't have to be there that long after being monitored and all.. and of coz hopefully I won't need to break my waters tomorrow at the hospital. God give me strength!!!

Tonight's the night?

2009-12-31T21:23:00.002+11:00

Well it's gonna be 2010, many thought she'd be here on Xmas but all was wrong. Now everyone thinks it might be 1st of Jan 2010 to usher in the new year but I think everyone's going to be wrong as well. So we've already booked for an induction. Gel will be inserted on Monday at 3pm and then hopefully something happens and I will go in to deliver on Tuesday. Crossing my fingers that no forceps or vacuum will be used at all!

Still waiting...

2009-12-24T11:21:00.002+11:00

Went for another check up yesterday and found that baby Chloe's now more in the anterior position which is very good coz I've been asking her to turn. Anterior - her back facing my tummy which is the ideal position to deliver!. So I am only waiting for regular contractions or any shows. But look slike she's not keen on coming out during Christmas! Hope I won't need to be induced! Cross my fingerss

Waiting..

2009-12-22T10:55:00.003+11:00

Waiting for my lil Chloe to appear! She seems to be having too much fun in my tummy. There's 6 more days to her EDD but I'm wishing she'll come earlier than expected. Sleep has been hard I wanna be able to sleep on my back again.. All the weight has been making my thighs and hips sore. Am now talking to her everyday, telling her to come by christmas at least! It'll be even better if my gynae tells me tomorrow that I'm dilated! Pretty tiring carrying so much weight now. So please Chloe please!! Come out earlier!!

MIA-ed from my blog and here's why...

2009-12-10T16:32:00.002+11:00

Ok what's new? Moved into my new place but unfortunately got broken into just after a week and lost all my precious and most expensive stuff!!! Damn those thieves! I hope they'll get punished for what they've done. I believe in karma. My mom says I can't swear or curse these people coz I have a baby =P well all the superstitions. Somehow I feel it is someone we know..Anyway because of these idiots we had to spend more money on security in and around the house! That's like another $10k!!! I could've done better things with that extra $10k! Like go for a holiday sigh...

Sab and Amy got hitched recently. Enjoyed the hens nights and weddings. Yeah in my final trimester but still out and about LOL. Tummy's getting bigger and body's getting heavier now. Put on a whole 20kgs!! It's getting harder to sleep now coz the weight makes my thighs ache. However I am still moving around like a normal person. Still walking like a lady not like those pregnant ladies you see on TV or others that you bump on the road that walks with one hand on their back, terkangkang and the other hand on the tummy! In fact I was even dancing at Amy & Andrew's Wedding LOL. Though I miss the amount of alcohol I could've shared during the wedding=P

Now I'm just wondering when am I gonna pop. I still don't feel any pain just getting swollen feet now..especially my right one... haven't had any problems with water retention 8.5 months ago..If you ask if I'm nervous or excited? I'd say not really I guess when the day comes it'll come. But of coz I'd wanna see my lil Chloe ASAP but hopefully she'll wait till my parents are here LOL so I get some TLC not to mention good food! Mom and dad will be here next week! Only wish they could stay like a couple of months but too bad that's like waiting for money to grow on trees=P

7 months and counting

2009-10-13T22:21:00.002+11:00

I'm into my 7th month now! Excited? Yes! Tired? Yes! and definitely feeling I'm 100 tonnes overload!! There's another 2 more months to go! Hopefully bub decides to come early or on her due date. Can't wait to see her! Been wondering who will she look like and how will she be. Somehow because I'm dealing with everything at the new house which includes sewing curtains, crewing and unscrewing stuff, climbing up ladders, drilling holes for curtain rods (not up to that yet but soon), it keeps me wondering even more if those tales are true. Well.. really I think the only one I heard is about hammer-ing nails on the wall but is it the same as to drilling holes in the wall???

I guess I've done like 40% of what should be done in the house. Now it's the curtains, blinds, hanging up the light shades and putting on the wall decals. Almost there I suppose. Well 24 hours in a day is definitely not enough and I always ended up with very low energy at the end of the day. I am looking forward to Amy's hens so I can get some much needed massage!

Anyway I really hope my lil baby is all good and pretty. I'd kill myself if anything happens to her=(

Getting closer

2009-10-04T21:47:00.002+11:00

I'm proud that we've accomplished a lot this weekend!! So far our fridge, washer/dryer and baby cot is being paid for. As for our bed, well we've eyed on a set, need to go measure and see if everything fits in and if it does hat's another thing down! Quild and sheet sets for all rooms have been bought too! Saw some nice curtains (pre-made too) but I've already bought 2 sets the other day. Then again the ones I saw looks much better.. very elegant! Still need to think if I should get it hehehe..

It's gonna be settlement date next week. And I'm also going into my 3rd trimester next week too! Doc's appointment's on Wednesday.. can't wait! Next I'll have to get utilities and carpet cleaners for the house. Hmm.. seems like there's lots more to do!!

I'm Back!

2009-09-24T13:20:00.002+10:00

Weather's been crazy back here.. Bright sunny mornings, gloomy afternoons and breezy nights LOL.. or sometimes it may be the other way round! Well I still love it! Hasn't been too cold for me! I've been busy unpacking and packing as well. Need to move soon! Can't believe it's settlement date next week! Can't wait to get the keys to my new place and start decorating it. There seems to be so much to d and I don't know where to start. Cancelling and activating utilities, getting measurements for the windows, looking for new locks..I don't even know what should I be looking out for! Do all locks fit the same? LOL.. I'm having a dumb blonde moment.

Anyway, just found out that a 'friend' has started my idea of having an online store / boutique! I think I remember telling her of my idea..sigh.. Can't believe that she's still trying to compete..I'm still planning mine out coz I can't be possibly starting now as I've gotta move and there's Chloe coming along. I need more concentration on these things for now. Hope Chloe's gonna be a pleasant baby to be with and I can start my business soon!

Home soon!

2009-09-20T01:33:00.003+10:00

Ok time flies! I've been back for a month and 20 days!! It's about time to get back to my darling and back to house chores *bleh* I dowanna go back to cookinggggg!! I've got thousand and one things lined up when I get back. Need to unpack then pack, take measurements for curtains, look for furnitures, sell furnitures, look for suitable locks and it goes on and on and on... sigh... but overall I'm still happy that I'm going back! Well it's gonnna be a busy end of the year for me! Hope everything goes well and smooth. Flight's tomorrow nite!! WeeeeEEeEEEeeeEEeeeee

The cutest!

2009-09-12T14:49:00.003+10:00

Went for Toys 'R' Us warehouse sales yesterday and melted at a pair of baby Mary Jane shoes!! They're just sooooo cute. I couldn't resist it so I have to buy them ahahah...Bought 3 dresses for my lil girl too! Spent RM200..guess it was an ok buy..but I will need to refrain myself from anymore baby shopping!! Those little things are just so damn cute!

Malaysians are somehow predictable...

2009-09-04T22:04:00.002+10:00

The story goes...

Ming : I miss you can you come back earlier?
Me : Huh?? You serious? Ok I will try but no promises and of coz it's due to seat availability and if I need to pay extra then I won't.
Ming : Yeah ok but do consider alright!
Me : Ok I'll call the MAS office up tomorrow.

Next day...

Ming : Have you called them up?
Me : Err.. nope I haven't had the time I'll call them later.

Dili deli dili deli and so I called them at night MAS ppl from KLIA told me I'll have to call KL Sentral's office to check if I have any penalties for the change. So I did. The lady said no I won't be charged anything (woo hoo) and so I conveniently asked if there were any seats left for 20th Sept morning flight(it's coz my aunt, cousin and cousin's gf will be going to Melb too so if I were to leave early I might as well leave with them). Turns out there were still seats but I couldn't confirm coz I didn't know which plane was my aunt taking. So called aunt to confirm and their plane the night one. Didn't plan to call MAS back immediately coz I was still contemplating whether I should go back earlier.

Next morning asked mom if she wanted me to go back earlier and she was fine with it because I had people to go back with so they can help me carry my luggage and I can go back and start packing up my stuff to move to the new house. So I called MAS office again.

MAS staff #1 : Sorry both morning and night flights are fully booked.
Me : Ok then can I be put on the waiting list?
MAS staff #1 : No you can't the waitlist is closed.

Feeling that I should call another time to reconfirm...

MAS staff #2 : (After checking for a long time) I'm sorry miss all flight on 20th, 21st and 22nd of Sept are full.
Me : Oh so can I put my name on the waitlist?
MAS staff #2 : Hmm.. I am not sure as your ticket is a cheap fare ticket but I will try to put it in and see if the system allows.
....after awhile he comes back..
MAS staff #2 : Ok I've put you on waitlist and you will need to call the KL Sentral office to check if you will need to pay any fees for changing as we are not able to check for tickets purchased from an overseas agent.

Ok so I called up KL Sentral office after that...

MAS staff #3 : You do not need to pay anything for changing the date and time of your departure. And your seat for 20th Sept 9.30 pm is not confirmed. So which date would you like to fly on as you have 2 confirmed dates?
Me : Oh! That was really quick. Alright confirm on the 20th!

See... proves that I was right and you should never listen to just one person when it comes to Malaysians!!! The stupid first MAS staff didn't even bother!! Such a lazy bum! Sit on her ass all day and don't even wanna help me out.

Anyway it's now confirmed that I will be leaving back for KL on the 20th! Yay! Just went for more shopping today and bought My Brest Friend's nursing pillow, sleep positioner, some rompers, some cute lil bootees, mittens and bonnets! I think my baby has more than enough stylish and cute clothes to last her for the first few months! They're just so cute!!

Wasn't so smooth sailing after all..

2009-08-26T19:36:00.002+10:00

Some gwai los must think we chinese are stupid! Come on.. being cunning isn't their job or rather profession! The father of the girl who wanted to buy our Peugeot came up with such a b***s*** story!! He said they checked with VicRoads and found that our car has been driven into a lake and was written off. Then probably the previous owner fixed it and he use AUD20k to fix it up so now it's not registered and wants us to register it. My first reaction was this old man's talking nonsense.. he doesn't even know what he's talking nonsense. I guess he must think that we might be afraid and then price can be negotiable again. He's SOOO wrong! Come on! Which Tom, Dick & Harry or Mary, Jane & Lucy would spend AUD20k to fix a car that has been writen off???? Which VicRoads will issue you a rego every year if the car is no registered???? Isn't it a bit dumb? And the daughter had the nerve to sms us to say she's DISGUSTED with the history of the car and wanted to nego the price even further. I said if you wanna buy then buy if not then just F*** off! No negotiating or whatsoever... HB was better than me haha he said if she didn't wanna buy just give him her a/c number and he'll transfer the deposit back to her. After that there wasn't any reply throughout the whole day. And then in the end now they're buyin it anyway at the same price we agreed initially. So what was all the fuss about now??? Dumb people...

Smooth sailing...

2009-08-20T20:12:00.002+10:00

Woo hoo!! Seems like everything's falling into place. HB got a promotion so he has company car to drive now hence we don't have to buy another car however we still need to upgrade our car because the Peugeot is a little too small to fit the baby car seat and a pram. Was looking at the Mazda CX-7 initially and found a bargain. But didn't really wanna jump into it too quickly coz we were still thinking if we should get it. By the time we've decided, it had been sold but in a way it's alright coz HB found out that the engine wasn't good enough for the car. So now we found another car - the Honda Euro 8th Gen Luxury. Got a better bargain!!! Again we were thinking but didn't think for too long this time. Although we haven't sold the Peugeot we still decided we should just get it first. HB transferred the car today and guess what?? We sold the Peugeot today too!!! The buyer has paid a deposit and hopefully all goes well with road worthy and then we can get the remaining ASAP!!! So happy!!! God I love you so much!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeee

Not 100%

2009-08-11T14:43:00.002+10:00

Sigh I'm down with tonsilitis again!! I've stopped having it ages ago already I guess it might be because of the chicken essence mom has been boiling for me. I hope it goes off quickly!! I feel like dying coz at times I feel cold and at times I feel hot. And when I needed someone to take my med for me, my dearest HB isn't by my side. I cried when I told him about it. Sigh that shows how much I miss his presence especially when I'm sick. I need to get out of the house. Need to get JL's registration present and go shopping for lil Chloe! Saw some pretty clothes on sale in Parkson but mom was with me so didn't get to buy them! Cross my fingers so I get better by tomorrow!

Wedding of the century!

2009-08-09T22:50:00.003+10:00

Ian and Jian Nin's wedding was awesome! Liked it that they drove his Celica GT4 into the ballroom. YES! Into the ballroom! How unique is that?? Anyway it was a dinner with 990 other people..it was really huge! It was good catching up with the rest accept that I couldn't drink with them! What a bummer! Oh well, was hoping to get more pics with the bride and groom but like I said, there were like 990 other people so they were really busy! Such a big wedding but very well organized! Hmm I can't seem to post pics up now.. Might be the internet playing up. I'll try posting tomorrow.

Updates...

2009-08-02T11:21:00.002+10:00

Woah it's been half a month since my last blog. Anyway I'd say nothing extraordinarily special has happened other than we've finally found out the sex of our lil bubs and yes it's a girl!!!! Hubby named her Chloe Cay. Chinese name TBA. Had the ultrasound done on 30/07/09 and she was really active this time. Moving her legs and arms. I think at one point she wanted to suck her lil thumb. Sonographer said everything's growing as it is supposed to be. So far can't see any cleft lip which is definitely a good sign. Hubby said she definitely looks prettier than the both of us. I was like ?!?!?!? How can you determine through an ultrasound image??? He's nuts... too nuts for his girl LOL Anyway I can start my baby shopping now!! However I donno where or what shall I start with.

Dearest hubs was sick throughout the week before I left. In a way it was good coz I was with him 24/7 as he didn't go to work for 4 days. But only thing is he was so sick so he didn't allow me to be too close to him. Went to the doc after taking some cold anf flu tabs and the STUPID yes STUPID doc said he only had rhinowirus which is a common flu. I was very sure he had a throat infection coz he was complaining that his throat was painful and he was having fever at night. The day after I called up to ask the doc to prescribe some antibiotics but he said hubs doesn't need any as his throat is not infected! So he suggested if hubs wanted to be better, he might as well get prescriptions for Tamiflu! So hubs was like hmm.. ok well since he's the doc we might as well listen to him. So off we went to the docs again and got the very expensive Tamiflu. On that night hubs was having a higher temperature than the nights before! I wasn't very happy about it and told hubs to go for a second opinion, so he did. Found out he really had a BAD throat infection and so the doc gave him antibiotics. Hubs told him about the doctor before and the doc said if he really thought hubs is infected by H1N1 then he should've wrote a letter and Tamiflu would've been free!!!! We spent AUD50 for 10 tabs! On top of being bulk billed we had to pay AUD5 for every visit! Hubs is so much better now with the antibiotics. He doesn't even have the pain anymore! If onl I told him to go to another doc earlier then we would've had a better week and better days for him. Poor him had to suffer so many days with the pain and fever. Never again are we going back to that dumb doctor!

Well well second day back in KL now. It's Ian's wedding today. Gonna be meeting up with the others tonight. I can't wait o see Jian Nin in her wedding dress!!! So excited and happy for the both of them. Too bad I can't have any drinks with them.. sad but I've got baby Chloe so I'll have to do what's best for her. Will start my shopping spree soon!. But first I think I've gotta get a house warming gift for JL. I need to get out of the house without mom tagging along!! She's so paranoid! Anyway will try to take more photos tonite - also a new update on my growing tummy.

Title-less

2009-07-15T13:24:00.002+10:00

I feel that I'm back to my 1st trimester. I didn't even feel like getting out of bed. My back hurts, I feel sick, I just feel like crawling back into bed and not do anything! It's just not my day. Anyway I don't think all these complaining will make it go away so I might as well try to be happy.

Browsed around on ebay lastnight and found that there are some doppler for sale!! It's only about $12! Well retail's selling about $50 for a brand new. I don't need a brand new one. I just want it to work so I can hear my baby's heartbeat! I also stumbled upon a baby monitor which comes with a camera and LCD screen! The screen looks more like a digital photo frame but of coz with the camera, you're able to watch your baby while he/she sleeps! How cool is that? Yeah and cool comes with a pricetag too!!! AUD310 for that set!! Anyone kind enough to sponsor me that???? Guess not!

Counting down the days to my next ultrasound scan! Another 15 more days! But it's also another 16 more days that I'll be going back to KL and then my poor HB will have to come home to an empty house!

My 15th week with bubs

2009-07-08T16:12:00.004+10:00

It's another doctor's meeting again. This time no ultrasound was taken, the doc only used a doppler to listen for bub's heartbeat. She had a hard time looking for it and it made me worry that "What if there wasn't anymore heartbeat?" My worries were answered when finally she found bubs on the left of my tummy but after finding it for like 30 seconds bubs decides to move to another spot so she lost it again and the process repeated for at least 3 times coz bubs was actively moving around. Doc said that probably explains the small lil pain that I've been getting. It feels like a syringe needle poking through but it only lasts for a good 5 seconds.

Next I see bubs will be when I'm 18 weeks and this time there'll be ultrasound done by the sonographer and we can then know the sex of our baby! Can't wait! Went to look at some baby cots. Still wondering if we should get a cot that we can later transform into a junior bed then a double bed or just a simple cot. At the same time I'm thinking of ideas in decorating bub's nursery. But of coz I'll have to wait till we get to know the sex before jumping into everything pink! The suspense is killing me!!

Back in tune

2009-07-05T11:51:00.002+10:00

After looking at some baby booties, I suddenly feel like knitting again. I've stopped for eons! I think I still remember how to do it so I'm gonna give it a try at those gorgeous booties. They're just so cute! I guess it's another way of keeping me sane at home. Need something to do so my days pass by faster. Will post my booties if its a success :)

Love is..

2009-07-02T08:58:00.002+10:00

I'm so loved!! Day by day it feels that I love my honeybuns more and more. Well I know we've been together for almost 5 yrs now but still... I just can't stop loving him! Never felt like this about anyone before not even one of my exs! I just don't wanna leave his side even for a minute! Counting down the days that I'll be leaving for KL. Sigh. Another 29 more days! In a way I'm happy to be going back and buying stuff for our baby but in a way I know I'll miss him a lot and that it's gonna hurt. I am already missing my honeybuns!

The weekend of drama...

2009-06-30T08:48:00.006+10:00

Had dinner and then k on Friday for Mandi's birthday. Dinner was at Red Spice Road, between Bourke st. and Lt. Collins on McKillop St. They served Asian Fusion. Wasn't too bad, preferred the entree's more than the main! Too bad I couldn't try the oysters! It was a full table of 16. No drinks for me - easily controlled coz I've to think of my baby:)

Betel leaf with spanner crab, chicken, chilli and kaffir lime

Oyster with cucumber, green chilli, shallots and salmon roe
Crispy five spice quail with jicama, shiso, watercress, cucumber salad

Pork belly with chilli caramel, apple slaw and black vinegar with steamed jasmine rice

Shredded chicken, pomelo, coconut, mint salad

Beef cheeks with spiced star anise sauce, mushrooms & viet mint, bean sprout salad

Wild barramundi with mushrooms, coriander, sugar peas and spicy coconut broth

From right to left : Sab, Mandi, Katie and of coz myself!

Saturday 27th June 2009

The night where the drama started. Partly because of me but I wasn't all THAT wrong. Well... planned to go Lavish since Wednesday and only decided to tell my beloved hubby on the night itself. Well he was going to work and I didn't wanna be home alone! Anyway he almost tore the roof apart when he found out that I was at Lavish even when he said no! Well I wasn't gonna be drinking or dancing! I just wanted to go have some fun! But well it was a short lived fun. Only 30 mins really...Oh well he's right. I need to think of our baby and the dangers of being in a club. But really I only wanted to go for an hour! And when he came over to Lavish to take me back he just lost it in the car! Asking me to call the whole world and ask if I was doing the right thing. I just kept quiet. Got home and went to bed. Woke up at 2 ish and a bigger drama revealed! Not really gonna say it here but it is something that has been bugging me for awhile. Something that I guess could make or break a relationship. So I got pissed off at what happened and told him off! He kept quiet and fell asleep while I was still fuming!!! Got on my nerves so badly that I changed and drove out. Didn't get home till 9am coz he had to go to work. Oh and the best part is, he didn't even know that I left the house in the middle of the night!!! I just felt like dying! Went to Lynn's to pour out what was happening. Took her advices and decided ok that's what I'll do. Drove over to Amy's but light was out so I guess they were almost asleep coz they just got back from k. Went to macca's to get a burger, had it in the car and tried sleeping. Stomach decided to play up and I needed to pee too! Sigh.. at last at about 7 ish I decided to go QV, well they've got the cleanest toilets!

Anyway got home at 9am, went back to bed with him moving a little, half awake checking on time. Finally he woke up and went for a shower before heading off the work. Didn't say anything to me. So I was trying to fall asleep as I didn't sleep the whole night. Hope it didn't affect my baby much! Sleep wasn't really successful when everyone was just calling my phone!!! All but one - my hubby. He came back after work and I was on the comp. It was good to know that he was the one who made the first move. I already had things to say, they were like a script in my head but once he started talking they all went away! He sat beside me and asked where I went lastnight coz Sab asked him in the morn where he went as when they came back it was already pretty late but he still wasn't home and he was shocked coz he was sleeping. Well I told him where I went and he was like "don't you think that I'll be worried?" But he was sleeping?!?! Anyway we talked about it and all is good. Was so much relieved and happy that he said I was his life and he has a family now so he won't be doing anything stupid like he did 4 years ago. Well not that I doubt his feelings for me but what happened just made me lose my confidence in him. But all's good now because he was reassuring me that baby and I mean the world to him. Till today, I keep replaying his words in my head. It really did make my heart melt. I am blessed!

I am a living zombie

2009-06-25T09:18:00.002+10:00

It's been 2 days!!! I sleep at about 9 ish at night and then wake up at 11 ish just coz I needed to pee and I can't fall back to sleep until about 3 or 4 am!!! This is so sick! It's tiring me out so badly. The worse thing is when I try to sleep during the day I can't fall asleep either!!! I wake up at 7 every morning coz I've to wake my lovely husband up and then my eyes are wide open! I tried just leving them shut but my brain starts working! ARGHHHH!! I finally gave up and decided to come online. Now if only I have someone bring me breakfast in bed that would be just awesome! Guess I'll have to do it myself!!! If only there were affordable maids in Melbourne!

Anyway tried out some new make-up and they looked fabulous! Need to get a whole new set of cleansers, moisturizers and make-up just for KL weather sigh.. I'm gonna be spending a bomb on those! I'm in love with the new mineral make-up! It's one liquid foundation that doesn't leave new little white heads on my face!!!

The bug

2009-06-23T13:25:00.002+10:00

Oh dear! My dearest cousin sis might be down with the swine flu! Poor her! She was meant to fly back to KL on Saturday but now..oh well all I can do is pray that it's just a normal cold and flu that she's got! Wonder when is this pandemic gonna end!! Sigh...

13 weeks and counting..

2009-06-22T11:22:00.000+10:00

Today is the start of my 13th week in pregnancy. Morning sickness' are getting less (or so I hope) tiredness is still taking over! But I'm sure all these symptoms means our baby's well. Next week will be another doc's appointment and hopefully by week 18 (before I leave back to KL again) we'll get to see the sex of our baby! Can't wait! I just wanna buy so many things but don't know where to start. For one it's coz we'll be moving in October to our new home so less thing to move is always better. Secondly, I have the urge to go buy everything pink! Every night before I fall asleep I try to make a list of things in my mind to buy when I'm back in KL but problem is, how am I gonna carry all of them back??? I wanna buy the breast pump, the bedsheet set, the carry basket, the warmer, and the list goes on...

Another 1 month and a week before I'll be back in KL indulging in my bird's nest again.. woot!

The hopeless me!

2009-06-19T13:00:00.000+10:00

I've got 2 blogs which I don't update LOL. I really want to post things up but never end up doing them often enough. Ok I'm gonna be stern with myself so I'd stick my face into my blogs at least 3 times a week! Anyway here's a short update of the things that has been going on. Yes I am now 12 weeks pregnant! Had 2 ultrasounds so far and the last was just on Wednesday and it even came in a DVD and of coz a photo! My baby's so cute!! The last ultrasound was to make sure that my baby's not in any risk of getting Down Syndrome. Results came out good! Very very low risk! Now I can't wait till another month or so before I can see if it's gonna be a boy or a girl! So tempted to start buying clothes!

Just got back from KL not very long ago. A very short but nice sponsored trip thanks to my cousin and his wife! We were busy daily with birthday and wedding dinners! But I still got a few dose of my bird's nest and fav dishes! I won't have to crave for them for too long anyway since I'll be back again in August! On one hand I'm very happy to be home but on the other hand I'm gonna miss baby's dad! Wonder how he'll cope with all the laundry etc! Oh well I guess sometimes I'll have to let go and let him try! If not I'd be taking care of 2 babies end of this year!

This pregnancy journey is realy great but then again I've been having morning, afternoon and night sickness! I get really tired. I'm even yawning while typing this! Worst of all is I am so forgetful now and it's not funny!!! I hope my morning sickness will stop soon since I'm at the end of my first trimester now. Damn! I wanted to post the video of my baby but then I'm only allowed 100MB per upload.. SIGH!!! oh well here's a photo of my baby at 10 weeks!

Damn the postman!

2009-04-22T15:58:00.000+10:00

I bought my camera's charger from ebay end of March and it was so called delivered on the 6th of April at my door signed by me! *rolling my eyes* Now how could I have opened the door and signed for something and forget about it??? The sender had prove that they've sent it. And the people from Auspost has APPARENTLY sent it to me! I was sleeping at the time of delivery. Does the dumb Auspost think that I have some sleep walking sickness or amnesia???? At ths moment in time I am still very frustrated at the fact that I didn't receive my parcel as said. I called up Auspost and they said only the sender is allowed to file an investigation. Fine! I only have the email add of the sender so I sent them a mail and thy were good enough to help me fie an investigation. 2 weeks passed by and finally Auspost responded saying the same thing! That my parcel was sent to the right addressed and initialed D.Teoh!!!! Anyone can do that! So I called the ombudsman and they said if I wanna go further I'll need the sender to call them and file the investigation or get the sender to write me an authorization letter so I can do it myself...Now I was thinking...why would the sender go through so much trouble on my behalf??? So I've sent them an email 2 days ago.. still no reply till today!

I tell you the postmen are really ver unreliable these days. Who knows? Maybe the postman was the one who signed and took my parcel!!! So what am I gonna do now?? I don't have much of a choice but wait for the sender to take action.. Oh the trouble!!! Everything has to be done by the sender! That's so irritatingly stupid!!!!

The house hunt

2009-03-03T12:21:00.000+11:00

The first month of hunting houses were great bu as time goes on.. sigh I just want someone to do the hunting and buying for me so I can just move in straight and not think about anything else! It is giving me such a big headache!! And all the arguments that I'vehad with Ming coz we can't come to a conclusion where we both like the same house! Well we actually did but the house was out our budget!!! I wanted a land to build my dream home. He wanted this unit that was not up to my expectations. Finally we didn't get the land or the unit coz the bigger land that I wanted was all sold and the unit he wanted (after a closer look) wasn't worth the price. Now we've just locked in on anothe rproperty in West Footscray. It's a single storey house (although I really want a double storey but just coz it's so hard to look for a nice and reasonably priced house I will submit to this one) In fact this is a really nice house. Haven't gone for an inspection. Will do that on Thursday. This house will be going on auction in April and I'm crossing my fingers now. I really want to just put in an offer and get that house! I won't post up the picture as yet because somehow or rather I feel I'll jinx it=P Lets just hope that this will be my future home!!!

Change

2009-02-17T10:10:00.000+11:00

It suddenly feels weird that someone's changing. This particular person is starting to do things that isn't normally done. Maybe my blogging helps. Well I don't think this change is bad. In fact it helps and I feel good about it. So I'm not gonna be complaining about it.

Pure Dilemma...

2009-02-14T00:19:00.001+11:00

It's a good friend's wedding in August and I really feel like going back to KL for it. On the other hand coz we're planning to buy a house soon we will need lots of money so I don't know if I really should go back. I know $800++ isn't gonna make a big difference in the end but at the moment it feels kinda hard plus what if situation changes and does not allow me to go on this trip?? Sigh.. 'why does life have to have so many 'what if's'? I'm still looking for an answer and being 50-50 about it isn't helping much. If only someone can give me a sign...

Down Memory Lane

2009-02-04T20:30:00.000+11:00

For the past few days I've been thinking of the past. Rewind it back to high school days where everyone was in the bright blue pinafore and white shirt. I really miss those days! I remember the times where we just did silly things that we don't do anymore. I remember the people who I used to share my life with. Friends come and go but I'll never forget my friends from high school. I've been having this urge to want to be back in touch with every one of them but it seems hard somehow. I still do keep in touch with a few but I just feel that we've pretty much drifted apart. Well of coz it's coz we're in different countries but still...Am I just procrastinating it coz part of me wants to and a part of me doesn't? If only it was easier.

I think I am melting!

2009-01-31T09:15:00.000+11:00

Gosh it was SOOOOOO hot yesterday I just felt like dying when I stepped out of the house! I was all sticky due to the sunscreen I had on + heat and that was so KL!!! Never liked being sticky so the heat was really getting on my nerves. Had to work in the morning, run errands in the afternoon and pick my sis in-law and her bubs from their house coz it was like a sauna!!!

Ming finished work at 5.30 so had to pick him up and was going to head to Footscray for dinner with the family. Got home and changed. Reached the restaurant, sat and waited for the rest to arrive. Ten minutes later and the electricity went kaput! So much for trying to stay somewhere with aircond! Oh well it was such a hot day and everyone was turning their aircond on full blast so the power station couldn't take it hence the failure. In the end we had to head out to the city for dinner. It was really packed and our food took ages to come out! It was like a good 20 minutes in interval for the last 2 dishes.

Anyway after that Ming wanted to join the guys at poker in South Melbourne so we went.. and lost $300!!!! Sigh...hard earned money down the drain!!! It was just pure bad luck! I want our money back!!! Can someone just put it next to me when I fall asleep???? Well.. generally I'd say it wasn't a very nice day.

A Lagging Me...

2009-01-29T19:35:00.000+11:00

Wow it's been 6 months after I 'started' this blog LOL.. oh well I'm back again and I will try to maintain it as much as I can as I've just been thinking that I should use this opportunity to market my DIYs. I hope by posting my stuff over here I'll at least get some business...in some way or another. I need to earn a few bucks from somewhere just to live! Gosh if only I was still 21 and my parents are still supporting me then I wouldn't be going through the headache of looking for the perfct job! In the meantime, I'm still waiting for Sam and Andrew to help me with the website as they're the pros! Hopefully it won't take them too long... don't think they've even started on it either LOL.

To ask or not to ask!

2008-07-14T10:24:00.000+10:00

I wonder how many of you out there hates to ask your friends for money that was long overdue! Well I personally hate asking people for money full stop! It has not been the first time from the same person. This happens monthly and this particular person knows when the payment is due but never takes the initiative to pass me the money before I ask! I just feel terrible if I have to remind them to pay me every now and then! If it happens once or twice then that's fine but it happens every month! It just makes me feel like I'm some sort of loan shark.. sigh...
