My Little Melody - 7 months old

2012-01-30T16:25:00.002+08:00

Time zooms.... here's a picture of my little Melody, now 7 months old and having her 1st tooth.

Fake contractions (Braxton Hicks) @ 35 weeks 5 days!

2011-05-26T14:28:00.006+08:00

Finally... I have decided to take & upload a photo of my baby bump!

Woke up with a super discomfort at the bottom of my spine at ard 2.00am last night... Almost gota remain in my sideway position for 20 secs before i could finally move my body abit. After that I could feel little bits of contractions which somewhat resembles mensus cramps every other 20 mins.

Was worried and excited at the same time... cuz im only into my 36th weeks and Melody's less than 2.5kg now! I dun want her to be a premature baby... luckily its just Braxton Hicks! The intermittent contractions went off ard 2 hours later.

So this morning, I decided to take a photo of my baby bump before the real contractions come :)

Not working again today, as i only slept less than 3 hours last night and feeling really tired this morning... think i was too stressed during the fake contractions.

Melody's really active nowadays, I can feel her kicks more powerful and sometimes her feet will be sticking out for quite sometime before she "keeps" it! I tried pushing her feet a few times and she will respond with a strong kick! Interesting...

My tummy and hips been feeling really uneasy these days... LS for a few days already. Must really watch what i eat.

That's all for now... hopefully will have a chance to blog again before Melody comes out!

32.5 weeks pregnant now...

2011-05-04T00:59:00.003+08:00

Time passes really fast and I'm counting down to less than 55days to labour! Soon my new life will begin...

Feeling nauseous during dinner nowadays, maybe becuz Melody's growing bigger by the days and my stomach is all squeezed together. Guess this is another sleepless night for me! Had 1/2 glass of coke earlier on, shd have known better... Caffeine overload!!!
Anyways Melody's not sleeping too. She tossing and turning inside me now.

Sometimes I really envy my raw. He can just fall asleep within seconds and doesn't wake up at night. Hope Melody get this part of his genes! Lolz

Last night was bad for me too. Woke up at 4am and only managed to sleep back at ard 6.50am. By 7.25am, my alarm was ringing already!

I think it's gonna be worse when Melody's out! Gotta feed her every 2 hrs! Oh my, I'm gonna be so sleep-deprived!

Really hope to get some quality sleep soon!

Another sleepless nite...

2011-04-18T01:04:00.003+08:00

1.12am and yet not a single sleepy bug.

Must be that phonecall from my mum that got me so agitated and my heart and mind is still not at peace.

Seriously hate it whenever she calls to ask me really dumb questions. This time round is "do u think ur baby will come out between 22nd-24th June (my edd is 25th)?" After that, she went on to say her frens want her to bring them to cruise and will be paying her. Then went on to ask if she's really needed during my labour or when I'm in hospital etc. F**king pissed me off!

I simply told her if I know exactly when I will be in labour, I think I'll be even better than god, isn't it? She gave birth to 2 kids herself and yet can still ask freaking dumb questions like these. Or rather, she's pretending to be dumb & hoping that I will say I dun need her so she can go earn those extra bucks from her frens. I told her i know what she's thinking and will not give her the answer which she wants. She's old enuf to decide whether money or kinship is more Impt. She had the cheek to ask me back "so money is not Impt to u lar?"

Seriously, I feel like strangling someone. It's bothering me so much I still feel the heat building up as I'm typing this. I wonder if she's become senile to be able to say something so insensitive like this. She totally disappointed me as a mum. But I need to thank her for being such an example so I know I should never become such a mother in future. She's just like a constant reminder to me T T

In the end I told her maybe she should go get some objective opinions from her frens. and she told me she will, and will give it some consideration. So much for a grandma-to-be. She cant even decide whether money is more Impt or her family. Sometimes I feel sad for her. Dunno wat she's living for.

Being 30 weeks pregnant is no joke. I have to cope with my body discomfort and deal with my emotional being. And yet this is the kind of "moral support" I get from her.

Thanks Mdm Seah.

28 weeks pregnant with Melody

Can't imagine I've not blogged for the past few months and missing out on the details of the most important phrase of my life.

Probably too overwhelmed with starting a new chapter of my life - Melody.
Everything happened too fast for me to catch up, I think.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to my little baby who is due on 25th June 2011.
Haven't thought of her Chinese name yet.. Wanted to use "乐" as the last character in her name, but mum say that I can't use it cuz my dad and siblings have "乐" in their names, so it's considered as disrespectful.

Well, no choice.. have to think again.

I'm on leave today as there'll a delivery this afternoon for Melody's stuffs from Taka. Almost bought 80% of her stuffs already... left the baby car seat and her little wardrobe, and we're all set for Melody's arrival :)

Cocoa has been good too... i'm sure Cocoa will understand when i'm unable to give her as much attention as now when Melody's out.

2010-05-06T12:16:00.003+08:00

Feeling sick these few days.. having sore throat for at least 3 days already, and the flu virus caught up. Was bearing with it cuz finally made some advancement in my work and moving on. But last night was really bad, so I took yellow tablet and slept.. this morning feeling worse, whole nasal clogged up and feeling giddy.

Msged OBL at 8.30am and he F-kingly asked me to go back to work in the afternoon. Say i have been neglecting his part of work, as i am now in a transition between my new and old duties. In fact, i think im "over-doing" his part already, so much so that i didn't have enough time to do my new things. He is really unappreciative and damn selfish. Still dare to say "i have sore throat and blocked nose everything, so what's the big deal?"... i really give up on him. Luckily its 2 more days left.. Fri and Sat. Come Monday, goodbye to him. OBL - Osama Bin Laden. Really suits him fine.

I will just rest well today and take my medicine religiously, hope i will feel better tomoro. As the quote goes "休息是为了走更长的路."

Been so overwhelmed at work, forgot to upload some of my Japan vacation pics here..

Haha... Lee Bess Road. Sounds good to me.

Yokoso Japan!

消肿了没?

2010-03-05T15:45:00.002+08:00

天哪!!! 已经第五天了嘢!
怎么右脸还是肿的!!

这几天出门都要戴口罩, 怕别人以为我得什么怪病而脸肿.
超烦的啦! 以为可以用这一个星期的病假好好做些有用的事, 但因为脸肿所以超不方便的...
指甲和脚甲都恶心到极点了, 也不敢上美甲中心弄一弄.
头发也乱个不行, 也不敢去美发院剪头发.
闷死我了.

拔智慧牙还真麻烦的.

唯一的安慰就是不用上班看别人脸色啦.

raw 也生病了. 星期三拿了病假, 今天也半天就回家来了.

明天约了水果帮去吃泰国餐, 希望真的可以好好吃它一顿.
所以, 牙牙.. 快快消肿哦!!!

新年又要来了!

2010-02-09T17:12:00.002+08:00

恭喜发财
万事如意
身体健康
心想事成

虎年快到
贝丝在此
恭祝大家
新年快乐!

奇怪。。

2010-02-05T10:31:00.000+08:00

有没有试过，忽然间回想起一些事，一个人。。。
然后自己也觉得奇怪。

那个人也没有很重要。可是就莫名其妙想起他。
心理怕怕的，可能想太多了。

或者是人渐渐变老了，也会不时回忆往事。
也有可能是不习惯现状，太平静了。有点不适应。

回忆就是过去事，还是不应想太多了。

小周末了，开心点。

Thinking... ...

2010-01-27T16:50:00.000+08:00

Thinking of what to do next... ...

Got my bonus yesterday. Wat's next?
Am I still going to be here or wat?
Going Japan in April... should i leave before that?

Did a job search on Jobstreet and Jobsdb but can't seem to find anything that fancies me.
Damn... is this an opportunity or a trap?
Anywhere i proceed from here will result in a paycut for sure.

Really wana start doing something of my own...
An online business maybe, but its so common nowadays.
Maybe bring back some interesting stuffs from Japan to sell.
Maybe... ....

Xmas & New Year - Festive of the Movies~!

2010-01-02T11:29:00.000+08:00

Watched a total of 4 movies in the past 2 weeks (3 in fact, cuz I watched Avatar twice :P)
Here are my reviews:

Bodyguards and Assassins – 3 out of 5 nachos
Watch it if u like movies with a historic event.. For me, I know nuts about the Sun Yat Sen’s revolution of the Qing Dynasty. So, the movie came a little draggy for me. I’m like watching a documentary cast by many famous movies stars.

However, I changed my perspective of Nicholas Tse’s being just another nice-looking face! Looking kind of "disfigured" in this movie, I could place more emphasis in his acting skills.. and yes, he can really act! A fairly high possibility that he could be nominated for the Best Male Actor Award in the Hong Kong Film Awards or Golden Horse Awards.

Avatar – 4 out of 5 nachos
Watch it if u like magical and fictional-genre movies. Personally, I like LOTR and Harry Porter(s), so this is not too far-fetched for me. Thou, I thought the blue-ish Navi people look kindof freaking to me initially. Nice visuals and I love the music they used in filming the Pandora scenes where the Navi people all hymned and pray together, which also caused me to doze off while watchin it the 1st time. What's more, i was watching midnight.

James Cameron is a genius to have thought of such technology 10 years ago. The Navi language is also brilliant invented, as it sounds like African and Spanish put together.

Sherlock Holmes – 3.5 out of 5 nachos
Need I say more? Watch it if u like Sherlock Holmes.. and see how he flaunts his ingenious way of cracking each mystery, but yet succumbed to the trickery and beauty of his ex-lover. Hilarious dialogues and beautiful scenes which shows the Old London while they were building the Tower Bridge. And guess where's my favourite city?

I have made plans to watch my next movie and it shall "Alice in Wonderland".

So you see… it’s a movie-filled festive season for me. Thou it’s a little late now, but nevertheless, Happy New Year 2010 and its still the 9th day of Christmas! So, Merry Christmas everyone!

Xmas Moody

2009-12-15T12:17:00.000+08:00

10.45am – my colleague came and ask me what’s for lunch. Actually I find it very comical cuz its just past Breakfast time and she is asking me about lunch already.

Haha… I’m having Xmas mood at work, given that its only 10 days away from Xmas!! My fave festive of the year… As usual, I won’t be having a white Xmas.. thou that’s my dream! Xmas in NY or London or anywhere which snows~~

Had a super packed weekend. On sat, we went to the new shopping mall "313" on Saturday to use up my 40% Esprit voucher and also shop for Xmas presents. Ended up I bought more things for myself than others… its lucky that I managed to buy E something as I was supposed to get her gift for the gift exchange. Wanted to get some other gifts for the rest, but can’t seem to see any interesting stuff. On sun, we went to JB to do massage and also to eat yummy butter-oatmeal crayfish at Dai-ma. Fulfilling and dirt cheap… cost only RM113 for a kg of crayfish, emperor chicken, prawn omelette, gu-lu meat and fried dou-miao. RM113 = SGD 45.75, which means per pax only $11.45… wow! I love zi-char!!!

I realised its not that easy to be travelling with others, even if u are close frens… cuz different people have different expectations when travelling. Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea afterall to get so many ppl to go on a Free & Easy trip. Unless they are all comfortable with who is making the arrangements etc. Too many cooks spoil the broth... as the saying goes.

No matter what, im looking forward to my Japan Trip next April. Nothing is gonna stop me! Wahaha..

Weird dream about dogs

2009-10-21T11:39:00.000+08:00

Oh dear, I had a weird dream last night!

Me and mum went to visit small uncle who was staying in a kelong (my small uncle does NOT stay in a kelong)…
then we sat on a floating mat enjoying the sea breeze (dun ask me why the mat can float, I duno..).
suddenly, we saw a lot of doggies which resemble my dog, wearing red and blue tees and swimming happily towards us, I swear there were at least 20 of them!!
Some of them upon reaching our floating mat, came up to us and wanted us to sayang them. I remembered the 1st one who came to me was wearing a blue tee.
Then I sayang and sayang and…that’s it.

End of my Dream. Lolz

I woke up, and saw cocoa sleeping between my pillow and raw’s as it was raining.

That’s why I say it’s a weird dream.

Very Eng.

2009-10-20T12:14:00.000+08:00

Had a great weekend!

Sat luncheon with the fruities and also Amos & Li.. Went to the The Seafood International Market & Restaurant at Big Splash Playground for a yummy and sinful buffet lunch, followed by a fun-filled day of WII and Toy-Roulette at my house!

Sun went back to mum’s house, wanted to buy the famous long-Q lor-mee from Bukit Purmei but it wasn’t open for whatever reason… so disappointed! Anyways, Raw bought dumplings and chicken feet noodles instead. Yummy too.

Yesterday also very very full and sinful.. Breakfast – fried bee hoon, Lunch – Grilled chicken thigh (set), Dinner – Grilled fish (set) at Hans (with compliments from Yen). Put on a whooping 0.6kg just like that!

Today gota eat less., had fried bee hoon for breakfast (again).. and will only stick to fish soup for lunch.

Will be having a light dinner too.. hopefully.

Metabolism oh metabolism… I dun think u ever existed in my life.

Boss is on leave yesterday and today, which means I have to buck up today and clear most of what is left for me to do…. but… no mood.

Ok, I must go and dabao my fish soup before the lunch crowd comes in. Ciao.

Foodie!!

2009-09-23T23:14:00.000+08:00

i'm a true foodie..
last few weeks of disappearance, i have been seeking consolation in food!
Here's one of them.

Watami Japanese Restaurant @ Central
A newly opened store.
Food is good, presentation is good.
Service so-so, have to look ard for at least 2 mins then can get someone to take our order althou the place wasn't that packed yet.
Feel uncomfortable and a bit "un-natural" abt the waitresses bowing to us every time they finish talking to us. Sometimes they 4get, and tried to "make-up" for it by walking back to our table and bow.. funnie.
Prices are reasonable, i believe their main competitor will be Ajiten. 80% of the menu can be found in Ajiten's menu as well.

wanted to take photos of the food, but was so hungry.

Only remembered abt taking photos after we finished the food.. Hee :)

anyways, for the menu, please visit http://www.watami.com.sg/

Steamboating 28th August 2009

2009-08-31T16:33:00.000+08:00

Elaina and me

Ash, me and peeping Jen

Caroline called this the "James Blond 007" =D

Nice pic with Jacqui

Thou we had lotsa fun.. I totally LS for 2 days thereafter.

Must be becuz of the pig's liver, cuz i cooked it when the soup's not really boiling!
I was also traumatized by the live prawns jumping ard when they were thrown in the boiling soup! I saw them turning red and the legs were kicking away.. Im like.. "holly shit"!!

Din't touch the pot of soup after that, and of course.. not the prawns!

Please dun eat live seafood, live animals.. watever.

Even if u must eat, pls dun be the one killing them.

Fancy throwing the live creatures in the hot pot this minute and eating them the next?!!

I'm puking. The souls may still be lingering ard to see u munching on their carcasses ><"'

Seriously, i rather cam-whore than to kill prawns.

Hallelujah. Amituofo.

Went to my favourite shop ytd "Bysi" and saw some really great designs.. tried a few and wanted to buy but gota rush to Balestier to buy a "transformer" for my lamp so no choice but to give up the idea of buying 1st.
