This song is so poignant...Really...one of my favourites.

One of my favourites......

Someone should kick my backside. Miif is now 1.18.....which means alot of money lesser....dammit man.







Very itchy about Genting but it has already risen alot.....but then again , i think it will rise more....shit shit shit. How? Can you tie my hands up?

Anyway, i am so happy this morning....i weighed myself and 56.7 kg.....first time in the morning with tummy not filled. this means that zhai zhai is growing...:) * beam * yay.....anyway....i am really so obsessed with my weight....sigh i dunno if i am doing fine... i hope so , cause i am underweight before i am pregnant so i need to put on more weight....this is what i am suppose to weigh...



Ooooooh yes and i bought 3 dresses on the way home today. ......not a bad buy cause it is only about 200 for all 3 ..with plenty of discount. and it is chiffon and silk. how can anyone resist that? Well I cannot lor..... Shall upload the pictures later. going to take a shower now....itis 29 degrees here. Damn hot ...crazy weather and you know what? They predict tt maybe tommorow it is gonna be red or black rain..!!!!Woooo hooo. that means no school!!!!!!

Had dim sum at Metropol for 2 days in a row on Sat and Sun.....yummy. Appreciated the bean curd after not eating it for soooooooooooo long, not that I cant find tt anywhere else but i guess i am too lazy now. Ordered a big plate of green leafy veg too, never felt healthier.:)
Anyway, I came across this website which gives you reviews on where to dine @ in hk. My 2 cents worth? Seriously...... nothing beats a simple home cooked meal after eating out @ all these rich food restaurants.

Am dreading the opening of school again , although I only have 10 more working days before I become the Chief Executive Officer Of the house...sigh...well...and soon it will be 31 weeks old!!!:)

Anyway, was surfing the net and came across this website www.edressme.com , from which i saved a couple of dresses design which I want to tailor once I am back in Hong Kong after the delivery.....The designs look pretty simple and all i need is just to find the right colour ribbons to go along with them. * wink*

Bear Bear before...........



Mom & I before sending moi off to Hong Kong......

Just happened to be clearing my SD card....so might as well post them up :)

Have u guys caught THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS?

Quite draggy but meaningful and which brings me to the below link to MSN money http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SavingandDebt/LearnToBudget/SurvivingAndThrivingOn12000AYear.aspx where some " poor" people voice out.It really isnt easy to have NO MONEY....worse, if you have a family to feed. ( Still remember those times me dad was out of job during the bloody financial crisis when i was young)

Right now, I am really lucky... Really, sometimes, we need to appreciate what we have....if you already have money, make sure u really save. Cause seriously , you never know what might happen....besides it is really...a dollar not spent is a dollar saved :)

For this very reason , i hope Zhai zhai be a minister when he grow up.
or an F1 driver
or a famous english league footballer
or either let dear and I win Mark 6 and toto......

Went to the gynae yesterday , and i felt he was a little sour cause i was not really seeing much of him any more but more of the SG doc...well....

anyway, we had a scan and i am still quite upset. Zhai zhai was faced down and he was covering his face w his hands..:( So dao. Dun wanna see mummy or daddy. :( sigh....

Anyway, i think he was sleeping cause he din kick much, and doc said he is about 1.6 kg....tt means he is in the ok zone, cause the above article states that baby should be about 3 pounds...Phew. Always worried tt he be tiny... now no more. i hope he continue to grow healthily.:)

I have been blogging so much nowadays.....prolly cause besides the goggle box, and Pregnancy journals , there is nothing much i want to do....

Doing some soul searching ....dear dear is sleeping. he is depressed that he has to work tommorow... while i still have the luxury to stay awake.... Baby is exploring my tummy...so you can literally see the litle bumps every now and then. My baby boy :).......

I dun really recognise my own self nowadays....not that i grew fatter or what, but i mean, maybe it is because i am going through a phrase of mother hood.... i am no stranger to kids and i love them , ( before they become tainted, corrupted, or wrongly educated...whatever you call it) , but having your own child is totally different.I really dun worry the pain of the labour, i am worried about the baby 's safety....First sign of making sacrifices unknowingly... You have to make sacrifices....you give them love unconditionally , you have hopes, you worry... you are NO longer living for yourself..... not anymore. not too long ago, it was just 11 weeks old...now i am 30 weeks, soon it will be June.. maybe time will pass slower when i return to SG, but....that is not the point.Well, thoughts are just jumbled in me... so i ramble, at least i still have the luxury too....I guess the below sort of summarises my hopes and resolutions, this time .....not just for myself.

• I hope Ethan will be born safe and healthy.
• I hope my husband and child stay healthy.
• I hope mom will be healthy too.
• I hope Dad looks after himself well.
• I hope bro graduates successfully and lands a good job.

All these for these 5 years.....and then it will be a whole new milestone again....sigh...

Aint it a sign of growing older....

Boogle Attack!!!

Dear and I have been addicted to this game....Give it a try.:)
Warning: Some of the words are atrociously suspectingly wrong...yet they accept it.

Went to Bodyconscious at The Centrium at Wynham Steet for a preganancy massage today.....Not too bad, but can be better. was a little weird lying down on the bed , though they had a hole for my tummy , cause zhai zhai kept moving. he was prolly wondering why mummy put him upside down. ;)

Had porridge and haagan daaz for dinner before going back to boogle again. tata...... one more week of holidays for me :P

* aren't you envious, ?????*

Weight gain during pregnancy

The recommended weight gain for a woman of normal weight is 25 lb (11.3 kg) to 35 lb (15.9 kg). A gain of 30 lb (13.6 kg) usually consists of the following:

The baby weighs 7.5 lb (3.4 kg).
The placenta weighs 1.5 lb (0.7 kg).
The amniotic fluid weighs 2 lb (0.9 kg).
The uterus weighs 2 lb (0.9 kg).
Breast tissue weighs 2 lb (0.9 kg).
Excess blood and fluids weigh 8 lb (3.6 kg).
Fat weighs 7 lb (3.2 kg).

You can expect to gain more if you are carrying twins.
If you are overweight, your ideal goal is less than the average weight gain, 15 lb (6.8 kg) to 25 lb (11.3 kg). If you are underweight, it is best to gain 28 lb (12.7 kg) to 40 lb (18.1 kg).

Ideally, you will gain weight slowly over the entire pregnancy:
0 lb (0 kg) to 4 lb (1.8 kg) during the first trimester
1 lb (0.5 kg) a week during the second and third trimesters
If you stop gaining weight for more than 2 weeks, or if you gain weight faster than these recommendations, consult your health professional

Epi-No Plus”

This is a basic rubber balloon affixed to a hose with a gage to determine changes in pressure.
What’s it for? Well, the basic gist is that you insert it into your vagina towards the end of pregnancy, and over a number of days gradually inflate it until your body is used to “giving birth to” an object of 10cm diameter. The perenium learns to stretch, with the result of reducing the need for episiotomies (although some would argue there’s almost never a need for episiotomies) and the incidence of tearing. In one Australian study of the device, 46 per cent of those using it emerged from birth with perenium intact, while only 17 per cent of the control participants had the same outcome. Twenty-eight per cent of the Epi-No users had a tear, and 49 per cent of the control subjects suffered one. And suffer they must have. These tears (and episiotomies) are not only painful and slow-healing, but can lead to life-threatening infections.

Baby Cost

I think i am estimating a layout of 1.5 k for Baby Ethan AND I am just talking about the essentials.... Anyway, looking forward to buying Zhai zhai's stuff when i get back to sg , have been doing my research.. gonna get him and me one of the below:)

and I am also looking to get a bassinet from www.armsreach.com .....Baby==Money. hehe. The government's baby bonus of 3 k is NOT ENOUGH!!!!!:)

In Canada, you get maternity leave of up to 1 year..... and all medical expenses are free of charge.... Singapore, you have much to catch up if you really want to increase the birth rate....

Pregnancy boos boos

1. anti-inflammation for throat tablets
2. Chlorophinamine ---at least 10???:(
3. Bits of aloe vera in a soft drink
4. Sea coconut cough syrup ( over the counter) :(
5. Lying on my back
6. Salicylic A acid in pimple cream

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!

My school had a day called RECOLLECTION DAY.......so there i went , to school , just to listen to a sermon about life, about God, about love , blah. The first part was boring.....we sat there watching a powerpoint of pictures of Mary and baby ( about 100 odd of them) the abstract ones were funky though..... then the second part was THE SERMON>>......... wanted to sneak away , but thought that was not very nice....anyway, i shant elaborate more.

cant believe China Hongxin shot up to 4.14...........and Miif is indeed investing in more properties. argh....and smm went to 3.66....all of which i sold. i sold i sold. so here i am grousing again. Maybe i should really take up the TAnalysis, as if it really helps , but at least i dun sell at wrong time la huh. Humans are so greedy. damn that is not nice . and i dun want to be that!!!!! cause you will always want more, but in today,s society, how not to? You talk about pay , you talk about who and who gets this promotion , and how everyone is so envious of Joanna cause she earns 16k sg a month. or more? oh well. * shrug* It is indeed tiring to keep climbing huh.....Poor dear. I am guilty of it too.... i was just thinking 90 is not enough. why cant it be more. sigh. * shake head* . need to meditate ZHI ZHU... in my head.


Okie...hope dear will be in a better mood when he is back. he is quite irascible today cus of his ulcer and the packed jammed stupid lift. cheer up boy boy, Man U is playing tonight! AND.....easter hols are here!!!!! 12 days no work ( for me:P) and u too. , well at least you have 5 days???;) Dear, thanks for getting me the soup today. It is yum yum.....

i had so many braxton hicks contractions last night. was so uncomfortable. and i dun even know if it is that or the real thing or so. and reading about some baby borned prematurely at 30 weeks din help . Cried myself to sleep last night when w was outside playing the lap top. was already feeling uncomfortable when he came back as i was resting on the couch , sleeping but felt better after dinner, then it came back again. then w was at his computer game, and somehow , i am not suppose to disturb him. that is what i feel. but later at 10 when i decided to go and sleep it off --the pain, i asked him to bring in the comforter, yet he din sense the urgency when i said i could not wait. and then later when realise i really had the contractions,he said it is my fault cause i always call for him and then that is why he could not tel the difference in urgency. Cmon.....it was really urgent and i DID voice out and then he say i never ask. Some how it is my fault!!!!!!

on hindsight, i am wondering if he needs to see me unconscious on the floor, or blood dripping out of me before he actually reacts. he says---anything i want , ask. but how can a person in pain ask.where is the strength to get up even to ask. deep down inside i feel so alone in this pregnancy.

Well , to be fair , it is not like w does not do anything, he does offer help sometimes, but only after very obvious signs. and i think his mentality is that ----leave it to the doctors, cause he does not know whta the fug is happening to me anyway , so dun disturb him. but my point is that he does not understand the power of spouse support. then why the hell do husbands need to be in the operating theatre or when the wife is having contractions when he does not know a damn thing.

so many differences in this. and really i am glad somehow i only have 2 months left. really . if i ever go into labour, i dun think i expect much from him. sad to say but true. sigh. so sad inside.really hope it can change though afer the antenatal class but let's see. he has not even read the pregnancy book, if i had not hidden the storybooks, i bet he will still be at iwo jima. c'mon, which is more urgent. isn't it obvious that acitons speak louder than words. :(

PS3 was right about unisteel and A reit........uni is about 3.06 today and A reit hit 3.4 already.....hmmmm.

Bought a TANGERINE flavoured shower gel , very sensitive to citrus scents nowadays, want to indulge in them :) how i wish i have this perpetual room scent in the house. doable , but lazy to find out how. Not through essential oils as they always burn out. ugh.

Cant wait till wednesday as it is half day and there will be 2 weeks of holidays!!!!:)

BumBumBUM

What a pretty meeee
I feel stunning(feel stunning)
And entrancing(and entrancing)
Feel like running and dancing for joy
for I’m loved by a pretty wonderful boy!

9 BREATH RIGHT STRATEGIES FOR EASIER BIRTHING


1. Breathe naturally between contractions, as you do when you are falling asleep.



2. When a contraction begins, inhale deeply and slowly through your nose, and then slowly exhale through your mouth in a long, steady stream. As you breathe out, let your facial muscles relax and your limbs go limp as you imagine the tension leaving your body. Think of this exhalation as a long sigh of release.



3. As the contraction peaks, remind yourself to continue breathing at a relaxed, comfortable rate.



4. Ask your partner to remind you to slow down if you start breathing too fast in response to an intense contraction. Have him take slow, relaxed breaths along with you.



5. If you still find yourself breathing too fast, stop for a minute and take a deep breath, followed by a long, drawn-out blow, as if you are blowing off steam. Do this periodically to remind yourself to slow down.



6. Partners should watch the mother's breathing patterns for cues as to how she is coping. Slow, deep, rhythmic breathing shows that she is handling her contractions well. Fast, spasmodic breathing communicates tension and anxiety. Use massage, model proper breathing, or suggest a change of position.



7. Don't pant. Panting is not natural for humans. (Dogs and cats in labor pant because they don't sweat. It's their way of releasing body heat. ) Panting not only exhausts you, it lessens your oxygen intake and may lead to hyperventilation.



8. Don't hyperventilate. Breathing too fast and too heavily blows off too much carbon dioxide, causing you to feel light-headed and have tingling sensations in your fingers, toes, and face. Some women tend to hyperventilate during the height of intense contractions and need caring reminders to relax their breathing. If you start to hyperventilate, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, as slowly as you can.



9. Don't hold your breath. Even during the strain of pushing, the blue in the face, blood-vessel-popping breath holding you see in movies is not only exhausting, but deprives you and your baby of much-needed oxygen.

The piano is finally here. Ian could not concentrate on his tuition on wednesday as he kept looking at it and asking me when he could have a go at it. so i left the last 20 mins for him.l Taught him what was Middle C and Treble clef. ..

getting heavier this week. and i realise i can walk far no more. my right leg will ache and tingle if i even inch forward if i am really tired. sometimes standing requires more than necessary effort. and if i am sitting down or so , i need to pull some support to get up . argh argh argh.
went to Tsim sha tsui on fri after school w jh after we did her curtains, almost died as the whole place after we exited from the MTR was filled with weird indians. I dun mind normal ones , but some of them really look dodgy and you have indians of all kinds, like from Arab, the Norths, beggarish looking ones, mad looking ones, one of them stared at my stomach and kept mumbling, i wanted to HIT him or smack his face. sorry for sounding so violent nowadays, cant control that. but who cares. after we survived the indian tsunamis, we finally arrived at the dim sum place. wow. S-H-I-O-K......ate like 12 dishes and the bill came to about 208 hk....damn cheap. but jh's cousin paid for it and refused to accept payment from us.

walked around a bit and was getting really tired, and bought DKNY apple parfum and MIRACLE eau de toilette. cheap. each like 30 plus SG.

http://www.hld.com/english/property/localsales/island/CentreStage/index_e.html

also went to jh and thomas place today... The centrestage. the place is neat, the toilet is big:) but the fridge is weird. itis very tall, you need a stool to reach thte top..

Tried to embed imeem inside. but seems futile

been on half days till Monday cause the school is having examinations......anyway. who is complaining..:P

Had a ache on my pelvis( both sides) last night, was worried. dunno if it was braxton hicks contractions. no one told me, and the books din write much . they say it is not suppose to hurt , just tightening of the uterus and it is not suppose to be periodically. but mine keeps repeating.....was so damn worried. got up and searched the net. and the net says if it is accompanied by pain( which mine was not really) it could be pre term labour....well done zhai zhai. make mummy cannot sleep...

anyway. sleepiness won the battle and i tried to sleep and could not sleep well though cause i have to lie on my left side and my shoulder really ache, and when i turn to my right side, zhai zhai jab my rib with his kick. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHH. angry!!!!


and in the middle of the night, dear dear knocked onto me accidentally , waking me up again , and i could not go back to sleep without my string. ...we looked and looked , only to find it on my upper body, camoflaged by my brown sweater i was wearing......and after that......i was woken up again!!!! by snores......argh...........u all trying to train me for zhai zhai is it huh!!? i have had not a good sleep since i was pregnant....:(

anyway . quite amazingly , biosensors rose up to 85 cents yesterday, din drop today. well done. ....continue your good work and rise to 98 cents so i can sell u off and get back my money. damn u , vested in you for so long but you never rise. and then have to wait so long .

waiting for CSM to hit 1.55 and miif to break past 1.10 resistance. you old man. but luckily you never fall down. good. walk slowly and steadily up the staircase ok? Sem marine too, cant wait for your dividend liao, you move up too fast.by the time you reach 3.6 plus, you will drop, me dun want that just cause of your $115.


oh ya by the way dear, if you are reading this......arent you sorry about labroy marine , china energy , and asl marine huh:PPPPP


okie that is what a pregnant woman with nothing to do , will do......everyday. blog, look at stocks, look at people's blog, sleep , and eat. dun ask me to read. i can never finish a book . dunno why. i used to be such an avid reader. not now. and i dun believe in reading fiction. what is the point when it is fake? waste of time. and dear dear recommended war genre. uuuuuuuucks! i rather you summarise and tell me.

i worry what i will do during confinement. i told myself i will knit, and revise my french again. but i dunno if i can stick to that. ....i will turn cuckoo if i watch tv everyday you know. i need to work . arghhhhh. sigh. i must not work for one year.... but deep in side i want toooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! but no one to look after zhai zhai.. cannot cannot.dun trust those fillipinas and dunno what.

Good......good ....good...

1) Aim low and buy. and how to aim low? wait.....wait.....patience.... ahaha used to lack of it and just buy and got stuck . now i know. might seem simple. aim low. but you really gotta control ur emotions.

2) Buy a whole chunk of it. not just 1 or 2 lots.

3) Be willing to cut losses if you make the wrong decision.

4) Never buy anything lesser thank 90 cents. and never buy anything whose PE ratio is in doubt.

5) Dividend play. Again . buy a whole chunk but reliable stock.Again, must aim low.

6) Wada said this: buy on rumour , sell on news. Dun chase.If already uptrend, no point getting in. Just like no point eating a half eaten cake.

7) Never never never contra.


Csm, Miif and Utac... u better rise more tommorow. I want to hit 90 but end of this year.or at least 20 % returns.
Aac. u unreliable boyfren. Cant wait to get rid of u when u reach a certain age.

My dear hubby:


Thank you for being here always. Listening to my grouses, taking my shit , when i go crazy , or behaving bizzarely when i am mad, my curses and witches voodoo, my messiness everywhere,for giving me most of the bed , for giving me the better comforter,for giving way to me when i want to use the lap top, for letting me control the remote .................... and i am sure the list goes on.

I love your singing sessions w Mr ipod, and i never fail to be amazed how u can play the same computer game over n over again, and how ManU can affect u so deeply, amazed at how u think the washing machine works, ................. and the list goes on


Your wama.

My top 8 fears about pregnancy:

1) Will I get to the hospital in time?
2) Can I really do a natural birth without epidural?
3) Will my asthma hinder me?
4) Will Zhai zhai be healthy and heavy enough?
5) I really want to look after zhai zhai myself without the help of a maid, but i am torn in between financial
independence and him too. Ideally a) I get a weekend job for a few hours that gives me abt 1 k a month
b) I teach from home a few hours , per hour 50 bucks and hire a part time maid to look after zhai zhai while i
teach.
6) Is wada really ready to be a father, he has not even started reading the book!!!!! All that he has been doing is just hearing what i said.:(
7) Will zhai zhai be a good baby ? I hope he does not disturb dear dear from his sleep.
8) I also hope it does not put a financial strain on dear dear.

Not in a very good mood...

• i think the process of becoming rich makes me happier than if i were already rich.

Anyway . i am 56.6 kg today. probably it is because i had alot to eat for dinner today. I cut off my long hair today to a bob. hehe. now i feel so much lighter and dun need to worry about confinement..... sigh. But the main deal was to make the bloody haircut worth the money ....450 hk. for a trim???? over my dead body ....so i thought, might as well just change my entire hairstyle :)

Went to Zara.. to try on my yellow dress.... tempted to buy it, it was the last piece, but on second thoughts, i thought i looked like BIg bird FROM sesame street. haha. so i left it alone:) walked around and hoping dear finish on time, settled at star bucks for a hot chocolate and darkchocolate and cherry cake. yum yum. sitting beside me was this couple whos has a new born. of course i kept looking at the baby.... before they left the guy asked me.... " expecting? " i said yup, that was why i kept looking at them . :) he said that i could pass his wifey my email but i kindly declined...:)

Put up my wedding photos at friendster and got me share of congrats from friends who i did not manage to invite cus it was such a small event.:( But i do regret not inviting some of my frens. i dunno what happened to me. i am such an idiot!! hehe. anyway, that is no big deal Zhai zhai is all tt matters to me now anyway. And what piss me off is an email from ***** saying that what, he does not need to WAIT anymore blah blah. What the hell? i din ask him to wait wat!!IT IS LIKE EATING SOUR GRAPES OR WHAT. and i am pretty sure i din give him any signals! Cmon.... you said tt you move on, and so why should you send sms the first few months i was in hk even when i dun reply. and cmon, if your r/s with the tyrant had worked out , you would not even be thinking abt me. WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM ? A SPARE TIRE???!!!! There must a reason why **** had been so paranoid about you........???.

Brings me back to the Cherry and terence incident. i think some guys just need to be told in the freaking face : No , dun waste your time. No point being nice or just ignore them . you ignore them , they think you are being coy.... stupid aint it? maybe it is their way to deceive themselves. I know how Cherry feels, but certainly i think tt DICK---- the guy who likes cherry. pardon me, is not much as good as Terence's character.People are getting married you know. ...WHat are you trying to do by smsing so late, and asking qns.Tsk. anyway. not interested in any other of these sort of stupid guys. ugh. still think i am most fortunate.of course dear dear is not a hundred percent puuuuurfect, but at least he does not have those vices. ( maybe except gambling) :) hahaha. and i think he certainly has improved on his temper. good boy...pat pat.

Asparagus Soup

Asparagus is the most regal of vegetables and the treat of spring. Snap the woody bottom from the stalk wherever it wants to break. Asparagus helps the cook - wherever it wants to snap will be the right spot.

1 pound fresh asparagus
3 pints cold water
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 cup cold chicken broth
1 cup cold heavy cream
4 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons corn starch (or potato starch)
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
5-6 tablespoons cold water
salt and ground white pepper to taste

__________________________________________________________________________________
METHOD

Cut off asparagus heads with about 1/2 inch of stalk. Cook in 3 pints salted water for two minutes.

Remove with slotted spoon, and set aside, reserving liquid.

Cut remaining stalks into inch long pieces. Boil in reserved water until tender. Remove, still reserving liquid. Puree, using a food mill or food processor.

Melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook until golden brown. Whisk in 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup cream, mix well and add around 2 pints reserved asparagus water along with asparagus puree. Put cooked asparagus heads into soup and bring to low boil.

In a small bowl mix sour cream, 2 teaspoons corn starch, egg yolk, chopped parsley with 5 tablespoons cold water until smooth.

Remove soup from heat and let sit for 4 - 5 minutes. Stir cream mixture to soup and stir to combine well. Return to heat and simmer over low heat. Do not boil.

Season with ground white pepper and salt.

What you neeed:
1 plastic drop cloth
1 jar petroleum jelly
1 pair gloves
3-4 rolls plaster casting material (each 4" x 5 yards)
1 sanding screen

You will also need:
Basin of room-temperature water
Chair
A helper

You may also want:
1 paintbrush
1 bottle gesso finishing material
Other craft supplies for decorating your cast

How it works:
A belly cast is created by applying several layers of wet plaster strips to the front of your body. After the strips have set, they will hold your shape and the cast will come away from your body and you will have a permanent record of your pregnant shape!

........My kid brought a knife to school today..... And when asked why, he said because he wanted to use it for lunch , to eat steak................Enough said...

On the way home on the bus, i learnt stg. .....not to travel w so many people . too many cooks spoil the broth, especially when i am one who likes to tell people where to go on a holiday.. hmmm. travel as in vacation la. Met this grp of sporeans on the bus, they asked me for directions. then i told them , they could take a tram , or a bus, of course i seconded the tram as you are on a holiday, u shld indulge a bit hor.... but one ger kept asking if the bus will lead them there directly, i said. well...it states THE PEAK..... but i am not tt sure:) hehe.( actually i am lying---i knows it does go to the peak) but why the bus.. anyway. i left the 7 of them deciding between the 2 choices and i went up to pacific place 3 back home.

only to stare at the real life quotes......

____________________________________________________________________

Stg tt only eccentric japs can think of.....

la vie...... vie... can be quite challenging most times....
why God cant just make everyone the same? Does he think our lives will be much more interesting with more characters around? sigh.

called mom last nite to tell her i am on the way to airport, could sense stg happened at hm. ---she quarrelled w my bro.

and this morning i called her again . to find out wat happened. Apparently she was just sick and tired of my brother's demeanour and his mentality and so started nagging and nagging. then she called him stupid. and it drove him mad....so he grabbed her arm. well. cant comment much. i have been in my brother's predicament before... so i dun blame him . yet i know my mom means well , but she does not know how to drive the point across.....and she always like to cause unhappiness with what she say just because she is not happy w her children. ....there was one point in time in my life tt i wanted to even commit matricide....so you can imagine how bad is that... that is why i refuse to continue to stay w her after 21.

She caused me so much hurt and pain. i bet she is feeling that too. but i dun understand why wld a mother wan her children to feel miserable if she is miserable herself...i certainly wun do tt to my child. i thank god for letting me witness all these so tt i dun repeat such mistakes myself.... :(
sigh. there was this book i read once----the world is made up of positive and negative people. and one's job is just to fill up your life w positive people.....and stay away from the negative. my mom belongs to the latter. after i read the book , i saved my own life . i still think i am very strong to go thru such shit during JC times and uni.... i still remember tt i lugged my piles of clothes to school to put in the counsellor room so she wun throw them away. she was like tt. she know she cant hurt me by words at times, so she wants to hurt me by hurting my possessions... i wish she had another outlet....and then in Uni... she was always making remarks at me. like how come i kept studying so hard. sacarstic remarks like" study so hard, should be study last minute. how to pass" and i shut her up by telling her. well i am not studying to pass---but for an A .

:( ANGST.

Anyway. maybe tt is why my dad left. it takes 2 hands to clap in a marriage. true enough the greater fault lies w him but i guess maybe my mom had a part in her own crime too.

and then .... even till now. she keeps hearing news abt like my dad bought houses in malaysia and tt Joanne is younger than her.. blah blah. well i tell her. shut up . dun tell me anytg cause i dun feel happy listening to it. tt is my policy . if i dun wanna hear and i know it will affect me. dun be stupid to listen. just tell the person. and so.... she was miserable after hearing it and she was angry tt i dun wanna listen to her. well. it is my coping mechanism. if i still take in the news, ( which i already know) what for.....not as if i can do anytg. All i wanna do is just make sure Dad pays for my bro 's school fees. well ...it is his responsibility. and it is my bro;s responsibility to find out abt the form..... sigh. burdens. burdens...my parents never really helped much in my life seriously. maybe only when i was young. and i can count the incidents... if i can count . then it can be quite sad rite?

so is it possible to be a cold blooded person? i dunno... what i mean is to be this stoic person devoided of any feelings towards your close ones... i guess this is gonna be my path tt i will train myself to take. i will not be upset. just like today . after putting down the phone and retaliating by saying-- you this kind of mother, die already, also i wun cry. ... i will not be so weak when handling her anymore. no. no. i give up. Poor eugene. too bad you are stuck w her cause you are not as strong as me to stand up to her and tell her to stop.just fugging stop.

i am so bloody BIG!!!!!!! today....i weigh a hefty 55 kg and i feel like my ribcage is being crushed. but it feels nicer hugging the tummy now and i love zhai zhai....endure endure. and 3 months ---- mar april may .....sigh.

cant believe i typed my resignation letter and i lost it!!!! sigh. Being careless is part of being pregnant but cant believe tt i am tt careless huh....

tonnes of work and i just cant do it. :( cause i am so lazy also . :( tommorow is Sports day. have to go to aberdeen stadium. ugh. What is a preggie woman doing there man...

:( i feel so bloated. my stomach is bloated right up to the boobs.it is even bigger than a basketball. and zhai zhai seems to kick everywhere now. sometimes he kicks high up where the rib cage is near....and sometime he tickles me, i suspect sometimes he somersaults inside....... really ....is it fun to be inside fluid doing such stuff???? :X
__________________________________________________________
BUT AT LEAST i know he is growing. and i am a happy mama. ate broccoli and beef for dinner tonight. viet pho noodles. cheap and good . and now staying up to wait for the bird's nest to cook while gorging on chunky kit kat. have a craving for sweet stuff nowadays......
_______________________________________________________________
sian ....have work tommorow and that means i have to wake up at 6 thirty again....drag myself to toilet , wash my face and boil the water... eat my vits, drag myself to change and then drag my ass out to catch a cab to happy valley to wait for the school bus. Then i will see Doreen the first school kid. Not a good thing. i dun like her.She is a naughty girl and does not pay attention. and sometimes bullies Ryan. So i dun even smile when i see her. ugh. yeah i know ....i am a teacher. but i practise favourtism yeah as far as i try my best not to.......:P cant be help . i am human.
__________________________________________________________________
Alright.......i made it through parents day on sat. was the first teacher who finished talking to all the parents....( 30 ) in total... one mom broke down in front of me cause her son did badly in chinese...( well, i dun teach it) ...and cause i said something touching to her son, knocked some sense out of him. let's see if it will last. boy will be boys.... late to mature and playful.and after i finished the talk, i sneaked out of the school , not even returning to the staff room, so i dun meet anyone. supposed to stay till 3pm....whaddafug... tt's crazy and makes no sense ya. i have finished my job. and off i will go. ......


i weigh 54 kg today.

Bump botherers
Pregnant? Now everyone owns your tummy - and knows exactly what's in it
I remember being in a Woolies queue when eight-months pregnant with my first son, Joe.
"Oooh, you are pregnant!" The woman in front of me beamed encouragingly. Genius. For a brief second, I thought she was going to slap a gold star on my forehead.
"Hah... yes," I mumbled distractedly, scanning the sweetie aisles caging us together, looking for a possible exit. But no, escape was impossible. Clearly Beamy Woman took my inability to vault waist-high shelves of confectionery as a sign of submission, so she took the opportunity to give my bump a good bothering.

"Ah," she said with a nod of unassailable authority, after having patted my bump from every conceivable angle. "You are carrying high. It's clearly a girl." She nodded sagely to everyone else in the queue. Many others nodded sagely back.

"Actually, it's a boy," I blurted out, defensively straightening my preggie shirt. "I have had a scan. Two scans, actually, and a 15-minute video. I have penis footage. It's definitely a boy."
My bump botherer went from beamy to thin-lipped. She glared at me as if I had said something nasty about her lineage.

"Ha!" she retorted, angrily. "Modern technology – who trusts it? No, it's definitely a girl. Mark my words." And with that rather ominous rejoinder, she gave my bump one last smug pat and wheeled herself off to the next vacant cashier... just before I brained her with my quarter-watermelon.

What is it about being pregnant that morphs your body into common property? It's hard enough actually being a human incubator without everyone treating you like one. It's enough to turn the meekest mommy-to-be into a watermelon-wielder.

Get a bun in your oven and the rest of the world pulls on baker's mitts. You'll be petted on buses, patted in queues, clucked at in lifts and patronised by sales staff. I had total strangers swing rings on chains over my belly and mad great aunts rhythmically rub my tummy as if it were a treasured talisman. And all this before my gynae even got a look in.

One of the things I find bizarre is how many people assume a heavily tummied person is pregnant. I mean, surely this often ends in tears? (When six months pregnant with my second son, Ben, I experimented with this idea. Every time a stranger asked me when I was due I said, "Actually, I just had a very heavy lunch." And then held eye contact and watched 'em squirm. Ha. Hey, it's hard for a pregnant chick to get her kicks.)
So what is the best way to handle bump botherers? I have a
bsolutely no advice. And with this admission... comes another. I bumped into my heavily pregnant friend, Mary, the other day. What is the first thing that I did? "Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" I squealed, beamingly. "Do you know yet? You have a baby in your tummy! Can I touch it? Can I? Can I?"

Mary looked at me, lips pursed. "Listen to yourself," she scolded.
I recoiled in embarrassment. "Well... I just love pregnant tummies," I mumbled. "They draw one's hand, like a magnet. You just have to touch pregnant tummies."
And therein lies the issue. Perhaps the reality of carrying a baby is so huge that you aren't supposed to be able to keep it to yourself. The joyfulness, the excitement... we are preprogrammed to experience these as a community. At least, that's what I've decided to tell Mary when next I reach out hopefully.......

_________________________________________________________________

Just an article which i can identify with...anyway it is really a pet peeve when you have all these hands over your tummy when you are pregnant.

i dun mind friends. Besides they always ask, so i am perfectly alrite but not certain people!!!!!and u know what? they dun even ask u permission. dammit. i have this student who used to use a finger to touch it like poking it. damn irritating. and i told her off. and this morning i have another student who exclaimed: ms elaine, how come your tummy is smaller? I was so pissed off that i snapped : you better shut up. next time dun say this. i know i could have put it in a better way especially to a kid, but sometimes you are so sick being politically correct when you are a teacher. argh. and how like u aint suppose to swear when u are preggie and blah blah...... but people should really be more sensitive....:(
agh forget it.

anyway UTAC rebounded today and STAT shot up till 1.83 but i had already taken profit at 1.62. dammit. anyway sold off UTAC at 0.91 after buying it yesterday at 0.82. not bad huh. just within 24 hours.

okie waiting for dear dear to finish up so i can eat. Yeah...eat again . * yawn *

So irritating. everytime this woman buys a stock , it has to drop first before it rises. ugh. but anyway. was amazed at how Stat rose this morning. was still praying that it can be around 1.53 plus for me to sell after my first period of English. Was quite irritated w the facilities of the school----only one PC was working.....argh can you imagine. but anyway. dun digress. i tot t wld have been 1.53 but guess wat??? it rose to 1.62!!!!geese. haha. dunno whether to laugh anot. so i put in order to sell . ( see me not greedy) but since i was thinking abt this morning whether to buy UTAC. i decided to use the cash i get from stat to buy UTAC. i admit itis a bit late, but have confidence in this fellow. Besides i dun look to do contra:P too risky for preggie mama.
____________________________________________________________________________________
later will head down to gynae myself to buyt ELIVIT for zhai zhai....seems like he has alot of action to day too keep kicking and kicking and shifting in my stomy. i hope he can be used to the noise of the HK kids. argh. welll as usual , scolded the class again on the bad manners----everyone has to talk at the same time and no one listening. makes worse if you are not used to listening to english. How can you possibly learn if you talk? damm......dun the parents teach??????????????
______________________________________________________
called Stanley when home---realised that he knows shufang --dear's sis . what a small world and well as usual ...everyone knows andrew seow. lol.....
____________________________________________________________________________________
must add in ---THE PRINCIPAL gave an ang pao.... but only 50 hk dollars. hehe.better than nothing ya. let tt be taxi fare.!!

Part 2....

My wedding Pictures =)

Hmmmmm:( i think i had some slight memory loss or stg. i realised i forgot to invite some of my frens!!!! hope they dun hate me.... :( sob sob. But this wedding is such a small, snug one and arranged overseas...so dun blame the pregnant mama for forgetting ya...?

okie doks I am back! and this time round the flight back on the new SQ plane is not so bad. the air stewardess exudes alot of good service, she asked me if i wanted soya bean milk, and i overheard her asking another passenger is he was feeling better then( obviously he felt sick earlier). hmmm and the business class is damn big lor. i dun really like the shape of the chairs though, i guess maybe it is due to space constraint they have to shape it like tt and still make people think it looks big.

and as i am typing , dear is cutting his toenails and putting them on the calculator which is very gross:(.

anyway zhai zhai din kick much today. he just like snuggling up to the right corner of my stomy which makes a pop on my stomy. if u touch my tummy, u prolly can feel him.

sigh. so i recovered from my bloomberg withdrawal syndrome and now dear and i can watch the serial Jin zhi yu yan again. yay! i have been on the net since i touched down , think i cant live w/o the internet. ... must make sure i have it when i return in april. anyway i asked mummy if she still has her knitting needles. :)

here are my 2007 resolutions:

1) pick up knitting during confinement
2) tone up on blogging/ digital scrapbooking skills
3) save up to my target by dec 07
4) revive french and revise
5) cook more healthy dishes for the family:) yay yay yay...food food food.

My Pregnancy This Week


Your baby's growing steadily, gaining about a quarter of a pound since last week, when she was just over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long, that makes for a pretty lean figure, but her body is filling out proportionally. Your baby's skin is thin, translucent, and wrinkled, her brain is growing rapidly, and her taste buds may be working now. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" and cells that produce surfactant, a substance that helps the air sacs inflate easily.
Your baby can hear more and more now, and you may even notice her startle at loud, sudden noises. But she's probably getting used to the regular noises she hears around the house, such as your dog barking or the roar of a vacuum cleaner. Many new parents are surprised by how unfazed their newborns seem by sounds like these, but if you think about it, they've had months to get accustomed to them.
