Think they're sexy or what? And Beer Ladies

So horrible... I mean if you have a bulging tummy and not so smooth skin - for goodness sake COVER IT UP!
Thank goodness I already had my lunch early when I was greeted with an unsightly sight. One woman in her 50s has fats all over her tummy area, put on a pair of jeans that is obviously tight (from the creased belted area). Her top just stops nicely on her jeans, and when she moves a little you see fats coming out. Brace yourself for what I'm going to share with you next - that woman walked to where I was( standing next to kiddy ride as girl was riding it) bent down to pick something from the floor and oh my goash! can see her butt line. And she was so close to me that I could see the texture of her skin. I think the butt line from my girl is much better to see.

Beer ladies:
I don't understand why they have to use this kind of marketing gimmick. Have Beer ladies in the coffeeshop to serve beer to the hum-sup men. Please lah... they want to see better figure - ask them go Geylang. The ones I see are usually the old ladies.. And today there was this old lady with her breasts quite shrunken (must be due to age) wearing a top that is tight and trying to show her breasts- which accounts to nothing. She had make up on her wrinkled face and ...... got men order beer meh?? I think they'd prefer to pour the beer themselves.
Honestly they should put away with such jobs for women. Women who do this only degrades themselves.

It's finally up!

Yipee! Finally framed up her photo collage I did for her room. Need to find another rectangular (preferably glass frame)frame to put more photos and hang it up. Meanwhile chose to put the smaller one near to her bed instead of the big one (sekali that one drop on her - can kill her) Will have to go down Ikea (I think I've said this upteen times but I'm just so lazy to drive all the way there - so out of the way)to find frames. Or does anyone have any idea where I can find it??

At the same time, I've decided not to wait for that 'never came to reality Ikea trip' to get her a box to put her current toys in her room. Instead bought one from NTUC and it fits just nicely in that little corner. So that place is more tidy now.

Pon-tang school

In the train. A sexy and hairy pole dancer
At Swensens
Fries time in BK
In MFM

Quality time to spend with my girl today (as if I do not have enough of her to drive me crazy)

Left for Orchard at 11plus. Stopped by at MosBurger for my lunch and for her porridge. And that girl was so excited thinking that I'm buying her lunch told me "mummy, I want to eat fries fries", went back to her seat and then before I could finish counting up to 10 she came back again "mummy I want toy toy". She managed to eat her porridge and I had my soup and fish burger. Apparently whenever we're out, that girl is so happy (that she will do things without you asking her to) and started greeting the people seated behind us "hello jie jie, kor kor" and then they played with her and she responded. They mentioned that she's so cute and friendly, and said goodbye to them when they left. Next round, three young ladies sat down and she also talked to them.

Anyway, jalaned around. Stopped by at Swensens. And I swear this is the first time I've swallowed my ice-cream so fast. Girl was snatching the cup from me. Everytime she scoop, I put my spoon in and scoop off what she took, so she's left with little bit and I have to eat doubly fast with double portion. Don't know whether I felt my stomach turning cold slowly but all I knew was my throat was cold from the first spoonful to the last. People might think I "never had food for so long.."

Managed to get my maternity towels (thick thick sanitary napkins) from Mothercare. It's on sale at $3 per pack of 12 so I grabbed 4 packs first. Can't remember how many packs I have left from the last time (need to count) and grab the remaining packs on Monday or Tuesday. Passed by Osim, girl was so funny she saw the U-Zap belt and said "zap zap tummy. zap zap tummy." At first I thought I was hearing the advertisement from the screen in the shop but it was her voice. Looked at her and she smiled at me. Then she pointed to the 'horsie' (I-Gallop) and said she wanted to sit on it. Honestly, I don't think it helps by toning the inner thighs or what. Infact I don't believe in any of the slimming belt or toning belt. Because I was a victim convinced that it would help me so bought one years back. Ah yah! Never helped me at all.. so I don't believe in it anymore. Anyway, back to the horsie kiddy ride. She wanted to sit so I carried her on it. She was happy and another kid said she wanted to sit on it too, so 2 kids were sitting there (facing the main corridor) enjoying the free kiddy ride. The girl came down and her mummy sat on it. Argh! So obsene - like *ahem*....

Girl dozed off and I managed to take a slow stroll into the boutiques. Was tired so stopped by at KFC for a drink, sat down for awhile, girl opened her eyes. She wanted to eat fries so went to order for her but they were out of stock (can't believe it) so we went next door-BK.Hubby met me later and we settled our dinner at MFM. I didn't have much appetite coz' I was full from the ice-cream, fries and fizzy drinks so had a soup in MFM. She had the Kids Meal - Fish & Chips and finished quite alot. Hubby ordered their speciality 'Garlic Mussels' which I don't eat but I dunked the bread into the sauce - garlic butter sauce. Yummy...

Dropped by at Carrefour and hubby went to 'stir' her "you want daddy to buy you this?" It's the scooter thing, she can't do it but you know kids.. you asked them of course it means yes. So we left the place and walked a little more. Then we wanted to head back home towards the train station, she told daddy. " Daddy you haven't buy me the bicycle." "I want that one.... (actioned with one still and the other kicking)" He didn't want to buy but she was so persistent. So they went back to Carrefour while I waited for them outside.

After a long day, we headed back home.

Look who are the excited ones?!?!

Having breakfast in school
N2 Students gathering in their class
Lining up
Moving out of the school
Getting up the bus (she was quite afraid)
Sitting down
Excited Athena & Javier
************************************************************************************************

Last night I had to remind hubby to wake me up early at 6plus (as I need to get girl in at 8am).

In the morning, I don't know if his clock was fast or my handphone clock was slow, he woke me up much before 6.30am. I intend to shower first and then wake my girl up but hubby got so excited and woke her up just at the same time as I was having my shower.

I got her to school at 7.56am. The two grandparents were looking from upstairs, their unit, calling "Thena Thena", then I actioned them to keep quiet as I want to get her in to school without wasting time. Grandmother wants to ask her to go upstairs and have porridge (actually it's her excuse to have the granddaughter upstairs) which I declined coz' I know for sure my girl will delay her time and they will also play and delay time. What better way to let her have her breakfast would be ideally in the school. Think they were a little sad that I denied their time.

She had her bun and milk in school. And you know what? That girl actually ate the lotus fillings in the bun. At home, she simply refuses to eat any fillings. Kids! No other parents stayed inside except for Jesline (Javier & Zenden's mummy) and another boy's (Is it Elliot?)mummy and of course myself. We saw how the teachers in the school was fumbling around; gathering the noisy and boisterous kids; packing last minute things.

Ms Chan asked the little children in her class to bring their shoes to their class and sit down. At this time, I put on the mosquito repellent on her (lying to her its body lotion). Thankfully, hubby bought this and another bigger bottle from Manila - it has those nice scents instead of the Citronella ones we have in Singapore. Anyway, I wanted to put for the other kids in her class but they all say "No". Then I asked Jesline and the other mummy, they accepted the offer.

The other mummy hails from China was asking me what it was and where to put, so before I could reply her she mentioned about "hands & legs", then I told her in my can-die Mandarin "hai you fang zai.." actioned 'neck' - what was that word?? The mummy said "bo zhi", I nod my head. Just then a little girl laughed at me speaking in her heavily Chinese accentuated way "jie jie ni bu hui suo bo zhi", then continued "wo shi ta de piao jie". Obviously her auntie (classmate mummy) was embarrassed but I thought the girl was cute and said "dui. Wo bu hui suo bo zhi"

The children were gathering near the main door and MS Chan led them in prayers. Just then Jesline and myself quickly made ourselves out and talked about 'us being the excited ones when the children don't feel anything at all...' When they left in batch, we followed. Coincidentally Ms Chan has let Javier partner Athena. And I was reminding Athena about keeping her hat on all the time; clean her hands with wet tissues if its dirty and using the small towel I put in her shorts pocket to wipe her perspiration. I think she finds me a nag and said "yes (pause) mummy".

Went up the bus and could see the excitement in her eyes (coz' she hardly takes bus). And all I can do is to pray she'll have a good time.

When I picked her up from school in the evening, asked her what she saw in the Botanical Gardens, she only told me "we play ball.." Hello! I was asking her what she saw - "trees, flowers??" Proves that girl only likes to play..................

If you think I'm an old lady, retract your words. There's another old lady.

I am 31 and well qualified to be an old lady. But please remind you that I'm not writing about myself now but rather a 3yrs+ kid - who's like an old lady.
My girl has been harping on the same thing over and over again. Complaining to me about her uncle(my brother) not apologising to her for pinching her buttocks. And hey! It happened weeks ago. Between that she still jokes about with uncle; laugh and play.
So repetitive and naggy...... can't stand her!!

Not that she missed me at all.... made me so happy for nothing!

Now I know why my girl has been asking for me these days in the afternoon.
It's not because she misses me or loves me so much, but rather she felt fearful as she hasn't seen a familiar face the whole day. Usually my mom will pop her head to wave to my girl at about 10plus, and another time in the afternoon. Mom does that and then assures her that she will be coming for her later.
Thing is, my mom was not well and was hospitalised for a week plus. So my little girl didn't see a familiar face.. and asked for me. Darn! I thought she really miss me, made me so happy for nothing!

Cute Beatrice

Haven't seen Beatrice since she was a month old, today she's already 14 months.
I'm glad my girlfriend Jasmine sent me a video and gave me the permission to share it here .

Enjoy her cute little funny girl.

Beatrice

She's been asking for me

Ms Chan told me that for the past two weeks and yesterday, she's been asking for me in the afternoon.

" I want mummy...." When Ms Chan asked if she's afraid mummy do not want her, she said "yes".

Wonder why the sudden behaviour in whining. Insecurity?
...............................................................................................................................................................................
Hubby told me this morning too she was crying when he carried her back into her bed. When I asked her why did she cry coz' she has to go back to her bed, she asked me "mummy why you did not partner me?" and began to hug me tightly.
I assured her and told her "you silly girl, mummy cannot partner you coz mummy's going to be your mummy all your life."
A: You mean you partner me all the time?
M: Yes

Wrong baby

Conversation between hubby and myself after we both got so irritated with her constant yakking and made up singing in the room.
M: What happens if the hospital calls us one day to tell us we brought home the wrong baby?
H: Return to sender
A: (giggling)(think she knows we're talking about her)
M: So maybe her real parents are ah-pu neh neh
H: Hmm......
M: Athena, are your parents ah-pu neh neh?
A: Yes, ah-pu neh neh

Quiet and then she started her dunno what made-up song
M: Ai yah... confirmed our daughter lah! So talkative like mummy.

Where do we go from here??

In United Square
St Nicholas Girls' School & her new dolly, Nicole

Few days ago my batchboy, Leslie called me to let me know that his daughter school is having a Food & FunFair today. When he told me it's St Nicolas, I was very excited. What's more exciting is I found out how they got their girl in the school, they did clock the 40hours volunteer work; plus his wife is baptised.. but then he also did mentioned that although his wife was from CHIJ Nativity, her results was good enough to go St Nicholas. So perhaps that put her at the winning edge.
Anyway, I told hubby the night before that I want to go down to check out the school. He kept quiet, didn't seem interested.
In the morning he said he has a meeting with a headhunter at United Sq. While they met, I brought my girl around the mall with the first itinery to buy her her panty.LOL
He told me that the new company (if he's successful with interview) it's going to be an IA-International Assignment in Shanghai. And how I feel about it. "Well, you have always wanted to go China, this will be a good chance." Well, we have no idea how long it will be but we shall not probe further until everything's more or less sucessful and finalised.
Anyway we left for St Nic. Hot weather, we couldn't take it. But we bumped into his ex-IBM colleague Rachel who's girl is in the school. And she did tell me "Volunteer yes, but you still need to be within 1km." I mean hubby heard it himself and how Rachel praised about the school, he should understand why I was so persistent in putting her there. "You should consider moving here if you want to put her in."
We left St Nic not without being empty-handed. They were selling the dolls and I asked her to choose the smaller one (coz' cheaper mah!) then that girl kept pointing to the big one. Argh! $$$ fly away.
I was feeling quite hopeful when hubby brought up the idea of moving house. I did remind him that exactly next year when Athena is 5 we would have stayed here for 5 years and good timing. He said "oh yah, we moved in just before she was born." Then he cut short the conversation and asked "so what if this No.2 is a boy?" I reminded him that Catholic High is just next door and coincidently it's also where I'd put my son in (ACS had to be out coz' they're 100% for old boys kind - no chance). Then he looked at the flats "wah... so old..." But it sounds more hopeful to me now..
In the late afternoon before I slept I told hubby I was craving for Pasta and then started thinking about Futomaki. Slept woke up and first thing I told hubby was " I want to eat Futomaki" Had 2 plates of that.
Perhaps it was all planned, I didn't even realised that my batchboy, Leslie, his wife and Lea were there. I only saw them when they were leaving. And all the more he convinced "you should put your girl in St Nic's. Move to AMK."

Now.. where do we go from here?? Firstly, of course I want my husband to go further in his career. So how long will that be? Years? That means she'll have to be in S'pore Int'l School and no more St Nic's? Or should I stay back at certain time to put my girl in a school in Singapore? But then the family will be apart.
I guess we'll just have to leave it in the hands of God and see whether we've been chosen to stay in our homeland or flock to Cheena. Maybe no more Orlando.. sob.. sob...

Joke of the Day

What do you get with two blur parents? An innocent victimised child.

In the morning we were getting ready to go out. I showered my girl and hubby brought her out to dry and dress her while I continue my shower. So that guy never put on my girl's panty. I didn't know coz' she was wearing a dress.....

Walked out of the house; at the postbox she said "I never wear panty.." quite soft and with that pathetic tone. Anyway, I turned and asked her "what?"
"I never wear panty.." and lifted a little of her dress to show me. Haha! I burst out laughing and stopped hubby who was walking infront. We were laughing at her, I said it could be the wind blowing and then she thought it was cooling below.

Told him we'll check the boot, I might have her spare panty in the swimming bag. Umm... no there isn't so she was without any panty until I shopped for her later.

Day Out With Kid In Tow

Enjoying her chawanmushi (actually this tastes better than Sakae)

(I think the colour is too yellow)
Couldn't wait to eat her second piece

Decided to let my girl skip school today and next Friday too (school holiday).
We both slept until 9plus in the morning, took things slowly and prepared her breakfast for her; showered her. After which we left for the Baby Fair in Singapore Expo. We arrived there at 12plus and I was getting hungry so we popped by at a Food Court. We were lucky to secure a seat fast and boy did I regret sitting inside - it seems that the open area had wind blowing while we were inside the Food Court with minimal aircon. Girl was so happy to be gai-gai-ing that she started waving to every aunties and uncles walking pass us; to those who were sitting outside.(we were seated by the glass panel)
Was a little disappointed that the fair was not really suitable for me, although got baby.. but what I really need is a stroller. Did drop by and find out more about educational CD software from Galaxy. They offer the whole range of English, Maths, Chinese and GKnowledge (I'm usually more interested in education stuff more than anything) at a price of $4800++. I did notice Athena was very good with the computer and she could respond to it, lady was praising that she's smart for her age. But then the lady kept pressing me to buy or to commit to buy. I did tell her nicely that I need to speak to Finance Manager (thinking it'll put her off) but nevertheless she was quite persistent; asked her colleague for an Order Invoice - which then I told her I'm not buying anything today. I want to compare with the many softwares out there.
Sometimes being too tactful won't get into the minds of stupid/persistent people.I was a little frustrated and thank her for her time in explaining to me the things which I wanted to find out. But as a consumer I have the right to choose what I want to buy.Then she started saying that "we are the only one.." I snapped her "yes, many people tell me this. When I told you my girl is on Glenn Doman, you were ready to critize that flashcards didn't help - which I must say it did help my girl." "Never mind, if you want to try out, we let you try out the English first. We guarantee you within 3 months you will come back to buy the whole series." "Yes, and that's $1000+++. Problem with kids you know.. they find it interesting now they play. Once you buy back home they don't like it then what am I going to do with it?"
Strange thing also, consultants always like to flip to pages of newspaper articles praising their products; then flip to show me the Order Invoice - Nanyang Girl's and dunno what other elite schools bought the program (and I remember Grolier also showed me Nanyang Girl's bought their products as well...)
To keep the whole story short, I was persistent she was persistent but I still have the choice FULL STOP.
Walked around and was happy to see NewBaby - catering for Confinement Food. Guy was helpful in explaining that I can tell them what I don't eat so they'll substitute to something else.
Left the Hall and was pleasantly surprised to bump into Angeline (we used to fly together and my sightseeing kaki). At this time Athena and Alexandra (her girl) were asleep.. otherwise I think Athena would love to bully her again. Haha! That girl...... We chatted and then went our separate ways.
BookFest was just next door, it seemed threatening to me coz' it seems like it's a Chinese BookFair when I looked in from the entrance (my Chinese is half past six) but anyway since I have the time I decided to walk around. Popular took up a big section of it and I decided to see the assesment books. Yes! This mother is crazy.. assesment books for Nursery. They were on offer so I grabbed 9. Anyway, I've told so many people that I'm into educational stuffs for kids so now you should all believe me. I stock on Richard Scarry's; Infocomm CDs; Chinese Hanyu CD.
Left the Hall was contemplating where I should go- Starbucks or head to the car. Then somehow girl got up when we were near the bouncy castles and some game area. She must have got some sixth sense. Asked her if she wanted to go, said yes. Brought her out.. It's $5 for 30 minutes, then asked her where she wants to go. "I want that balloon balloon one.." No way am I going to spend $5 for something which I can do at home; blow up the balloons and let her throw around (just that over there they pump in air so the balloon is floating around inside and the kids play inside). Told her you either go bouncy castle or we leave. She didn't look too disappointed though and said "we go". So off we went towards Suntec.
At 3plus, I'm surprised that the carpark is full - probably with the IT Fair (but don't people have to work??) So went to park in Raffles City instead. Girl wanted to eat at Sakae (coz she saw the froggie) near the ERP gantry-Suntec.Initially wanted to walk to Suntec but it's not easy with the flight of steps I need to climb up and down from the building with Citibank with the girl and stroller. I told her we can't go there but brought her to another Jap restaurant in B1 of Raffles City. She had her Chawanmushi and I was craving for my Futomaki.Left the place satisfied.
We walked to Marina Square instead. We had fun time- with me pinching her buttocks and she running away from me in Citilink. That place was noisy enough but her laughter was loud enough to be heard-people turned to look at her.I was lost in Marina Sq, saw this Hokkaido Ice-cream parlour..........makes me think of the many ice-creams I had while I was in Japan and how I'd savour each flavour like a young kid.Was rather full but told the lady I will come back later.
We saw the Young Parents corner, checked out the goodies for their subscription. Nah! Nothing interesting.. anyway I can't remember when my subscription with them expires.So will consider whether to subscribe again next time. There was an area taken by Kooky Art - $12 to paint 5 cookies. She wanted to do it so I decided to let her have some fun. They thought she was a very neat kid; coz she coloured inside the line and was doing it very slowly. " Kids at this age don't colour inside line, and she can do it,"says Diana. Two other older kids were also colouring their cookies. Wow! I don't know how long we were there but the other 2 kids left and she was still doing her 3rd piece. Was chatting with Isabella (boss),her husband and Diana like old friends. Talked about so many things.. schools; enrichment classes. Anyway, she spoilt one piece of her cookie and Isabella was so nice to let her have another piece. So in total she had 6 pieces. She couldn't wait to eat the spoilt cookies.. We left at 6.15pm (and not after that girl helped them clean the table - they were impressed by her cleanliness) and she started eating the 2nd piece. We had our dinner at the Food Court and we left for home at 9pm.
What a day!

Why do kids all smile like this??

School trip to Botanical Gardens

Ms Chan informed that the school will be organising a trip to Botanical Gardens next Thursday (16th) and if I will allow Athena to go. I thought why not since her classmates will be there and hopefully she'll enjoy the gai-gai with them. Immediately I paid her $5 and signed the consent form.
I don't know if she is excited but the mother is.. I mean, it'll be her first excursion trip with the school. When she was in playgroup and N1, they organised a trip to the Zoo but the first time we didn't allow her coz' the teacher can't guarantee they'll be holding her hands and knowing our chor-lor and lun-zhun daughter might just trip and fall somewhere. When she was in N1, it was quite untimely as she has just fallen sick and we thought of letting her have a full recovery before the heat makes her sick again.
I was so anxious and thinking if I should give her an umbrella- scared my precious get burned lah! But in the end thought that girl always like to play with umbrella she will not know how to shelter herself. So got her a hat; bought her some snacks and brought out her insect repellent. Now I'm thinking if I should kapo and go as well...
Darn! When can I learn to let her go??

Brought her to the pool

Wanted to leave girl at mom's place today while I go swimming. But mom called to say that she's not feeling well and I had better bring her back home from school.
Anyway, since I've made up my mind to swim my fats and flabs off I thought I'd bring her along with me to Hougang Pool.
She had a lifevest on, and I also let her sit on her float (umm... actually it's for up to 18 months old) so when she sat in it sank in further coz' of her weight. And she made a remark "mummy.. how come got so much water in here?" Well, she's meant to get wet so I pushed her along and swim. Was kindda restricted and can only swim breaststroke. Swam a few laps of the training pool and then at times I'd let her sit by the side while I swim towards her. She can tell me "mummy, you go far far away." " How to go far far away? How can I rescue you in time if you drop inside the pool?" After some time I brought her out of her float and carried her by the armpits. Asked her to kick, she kicked. Then she surprised me by doing the breaststroke on her hands. I was so pleased "wow! You so clever can swim breastsroke." At first she kept quiet... then at my second remark she sang "I am a fish swimming around, swimming around..." and did the action.
So.... she wasn't doing breaststroke but was doing the action to the song she learnt in Little Notes. ????
Before we left brought her to the baby pool where she wants to play the slide. We left for the shower area; took a shower and thought of bringing her to the small eating area. Told her "mummy only brought $2.50 with me to the pool so I can't buy much." She looked around for tidbits instead and settled for a 50cents Maggie snack. We left for home after that. In the car she said, "mummy tomorrow you bring me to the pool again."

Argh! Why?Why?

It was like the usual - drive to school and yakking in the car with my girl. Somewhere near Tampines, she told me "mummy, there's something crawling behind you." I looked into the rear mirror and asked "what"
A: There's something crawling on the chair.
A: Going up , going up (points upwards)
M: (panicked) What is it? (dare not lean back on chair)
A: I dunno. (scared look on her face and started to cross her legs on her booster)
M: Where is it now? Is it still there?
A: Yes (scared). It's going up up
M: Is it big or small
A: It's big
M: (lagi more panicked)
A: Yeee......
A: Mummy, it's going to your cardigan
M: (parked the car, quickly opened the door and saw a nymph, opened the other door to let her out) Darn! How to kill cockroach
A maid, washing car next to us, heard me say this and walked over to help me kill and bring out the cockroach. Wah.. she's my heroine.
Why got cockroach? I clean the interior thoroughly once a week. Ai yoh.... I better bring down Dettol later to clean the interior again.

We've got other residents in our house

Today the pak-chik from Singtel came to see what was wrong with our home phone, which was apparently spoilt for weeks.
Tests showed that there was a shock circuit somewhere. And he pulled out our sofa to show me this plug point behind. I made this remark " I didn't even know there was a point here." Anyway, he did what he had to do and checked on other phone points. He asked if there was one in the kitchen and we brought him there. He saw the plug opened and said something about "this has to be closed at all times, sometimes dust can go in and spoil the wires." Anyway he opened up the thing and next minute I heard him throw down the cover and let a loud "yeeh!" I was standing there sms-g to June and looked. There near to my feet was a lizard. Scadycat ran out of the kitchen " yeeeeee..........." and jumped onto the sofa. Wow! I never knew I could run that fast.
Little girl said she wanted to see the lizard and then she made "yee...so dirty." Pulled her away and the pak-chik said two eggs dropped out. Shucks! There were lizards breeding in our home.
Thank goodness the pak-chik opened that today. Otherwise we'll be accomodating some illegal pest residents in our home.
Yucks!!

First time I went without an afternoon nap

Gotta mark this date - 3 Mar - as it's the day I first went without afternoon nap. Yes, I did feel sleepy but not as bad as before. Hopefully it's the sign of my fatigue easing off.
Started the day by dropping my girl in school and then went down to Mt E for my appointment. I didn't have to wait long (which is good.. but only when I went back home I realised that I had mistaken my appointment time for 1030 when it should be 1010 - in other words I was late for my appointment!)Walked around in Paragon a little and dropped by in Dune - they carry nice and sweet dresses. Nathalie was ever so helpful to me and left the shop with only one dress for her. Anyway, I was getting a little hungry so needed to have my lunch. Was contemplating between Nooch and Spaggeddies, but I reckon the people in Nooch recognises me by now so I decided to have Italian. Not a bad choice I had my Penne with Crayfish; passionfruit soda - slurp!slurp! Boy! I was really full when I walked out of Spaggeddies to the washroom. But I swear after I came out from the washroom I felt hungry again.
Suddenly thought of stocking up on my pasta sauce from Marks & Spencer so went upstairs to buy 2 bottles.
Girlfriend June smsed me asking where I was and wanted to meet up. She decided to meet me in T. Pagar as I was leaving Orchard soon.
Left for Tanjong Pagar to collect my girl's trophy and other prizes. Prizes included a month's supply of Vitagen (mom thought I told her it's a year supply - I said "siao! company go bankrupt man! One month drink already will lao-sai; want to have one year supply") which I must go down to collect at MDI in MacPherson one of these days. Other prizes include vouchers. I was more interested in the trophy coz' I wanted to add it to her collections. I'm so proud of her... speaking of which must thank the mother's good genes right?? (vomit blood)Okay, I'm not proud of my looks but I'm glad my girl outshine me.
After collection, popped by at Modern Maternity to have my top altered with a longer elastic band (stingy me must use the maternity wear throughout the whole pregnancy kind one..) and then went to Spinelli's for a drink and snack. My stomach's growling.. had my cheesecake - yummy and strawberry shake. June came by and we chatted.
Yes, I needed to go to the gym but told her that my gynae aint that supportive of me doing high impact stuffs. Umm.. we shall see whether we can meet up for gym. Missed that alot! We used to gym together when we were working in the same company.
Anyway, close to 5pm and I had to leave to pick my little brat up from school. Stayed in mom's place awhile and then went back home for dinner. Cooked mee-hoon kueh and we had dinner together. But pity June lah! My house didn't have any ingredients like fishcake and it's too late to thaw the meat so we just went plain. I promise you June, I'll do a proper mee hoon kueh next time (that is if you're keen). June left when her abang came at close to 9pm??
I fell soundly asleep at 10pm. Couldn't take it anymore..

My funny gynae

I like my gynae, he's always so cheerful and jovial. Of course you can see the look on his face when he's really stressed up, and then I dunno if I have the "consultant" word printed on my face- he'll complain to me how some patients are too much, of course he still protects the identity of his patients.
My visit with him today was a funny one.. we chatted and I dunno why he talked about the one-eye dragon guy who fled to KL and how stupid he is waiting to be caught. Of course I teased him saying "if you can think this way.. you must have the mindset of a murderer." and quickly added "joking huh?" But he didn't mind it and laughed it off.
When I asked if I resume my exercise. He made this remark "You better don't do high-risk exercise huh? I won't be here next week." when I told him I go gym.
When I first visited him years back for my first PapSmear, he was chatting and obviously trying to distract me. Well he did, I was surprised when he said "okay. done!" Then when I fell pregnant, he was the cautious kind. Yah.. and when he prepare to operate me in the OT for my Emer C, I saw him praying. Yup! He's a christian. Anyway, I see the dedication he has for his job. He actually took the syringe and medication out of the clinic; hoping to catch me outside on CNY eve - when everyone's rushing home for reunion dinner. I was so touched by his actions.And he even said "call me on my mobile phone.." Hey! Which doctor will give you their mobile phone number??
Anyway, he mentioned to me that he'll only retire 11 years down the road. Which means I'll have another 11 years to see him for my regular check-up. I think it is a pity that the gynae association will lose out this good and dedicated doctor. But I think he's done alot of good deeds and it's time he enjoys his old age.

A nod is all I need

What I need from my gynae is a nod for me to go ahead with my exercise regime. Afterall, I've held back for 2 months already and it's killing me!!!!
Once he okays it, I'll quickly zoom down to Cali Fitness and work out man! Still thinking if I should go for Bodycombat class. June says I'm crazy but I really envy how Elizabeth conducted the lessons when she was preggie.
Then there's the Tuesday morning Pilates class and not forgetting my swim. Swimming is the best exercise for preggies.
Ah yoh.............Dr Teoh you better say yes when I see you on Friday!
