Tap-tap

I can feel some quickening and gentle tapping in my lower abdomen for the past few days. Wondering if its stomach rumbling/gas or baby's movement?

Tap-tap, is that you little one?

In my 16 weeks currently, they say 2nd trimester is the honeymoon period during pregnancy. Indeed, I didnt felt as tired as before. Looking forward to the next gynea visit. =D

Ferrero

Have seen someone mentioning about Ferrero Rouche dark chocolate in the blog quite some time back. And I finally get to taste it recently !



It was bitterly sweet. The top coat was covered with tiny chocolate bits and is kinda crunchy when you bite it. I don't really know how to appreciate dark chocolate though I'm a chocolate lover and it leaves a bitter aftertaste in my mouth after finishing one. Well... I still prefer the original version.

Do give it a try, especially if you like dark chocolate. Its available in 7-11, selling at 3 for $2.50.

Pimples, pimples

Pimples, pimples on the wall face... which is the biggest of them all?

Boo hoo... first its forehead, now is chin... and my itchy fingers like to scratch them coz sometimes they feel itchy. Argh... Applying axe oil on my chin pimples so it feels minty cool and I won't go and touch it. I like axe oil. I use it for almost anything and everything. Ya, even on my pimples especially when they itch.

Tomorrow's Friday. Finally, Friday is coming! Think weekend is gonna be a nua-ing day again. Zzz... Suddenly feel like eating BBQ food. Hmm...

Another tired day

Monday... Zzz...

Another lethargic day. Wierd, I thought I should be more energetic at this stage, but it was totally the opposite. I'm still not having very good appetite and I'm having zits popping out on my forehead. Grrr... clipping up my irritating, fraying, making-my-face-itch fringe.

Looking forward to my appointment on 2-Aug *Smiles and waves*

Extreme tiredness

Feeling extremely tired today. Having slight headache. Don't feel like working or doing anything. I wanna go home to rest.

Was supposed to have a dinner gathering with my colleagues and ex-colleagues who had left the company this evening. Sigh, me in such a state, I think I better go home rest early.

Its Kee's birthday this Sunday, and CCHB gathering as well. Don't think I will go to the class gathering. Nowadays, by evening time, I get very tired and sleepy. Think its just normal, afterall, I need alot of rest at this stage. Somemore they're meeting at Dauby Ghaut, when I thought of having to squeeze and walk in crowds, it makes me doubly sianz.

Feel that Kee and me is getting more and more distant. Perhaps now we seldom meet or chat. Even in MSN, she'll only appear offline. Selective chatting. Or perhaps she only talks to him, afterall, love conquers all *shrugz* Just glad that she's deeply in love now. I'm hopeful that this relationship will blossom. Hope that she's keeping in touch constantly with other frenz though she seldom contacts me. Afterall, family and frenz will never walk out of you, but boyfriend juz comes and go. Ugly facts of life.

3.30pm, 2.5 more hours to go before I can knock off work. Zzz... Dozing off at my workdesk -_-

Long waited Monday

Been long since last blogged.

The Monday that I had been looking forward to is finally here. Excited and curious.
I hope everything will be well.

Updates

Alright, back from Bangkok last Saturday. It was raining everyday. Rain, rain, rain... If its not raining, it was super hot and sunny. Went to lotsa day, night and weekend markets. Jatuchak, Silom, Pratunum, Suan Lam, Chinatown, etc, etc... Was kinda tiring as there's a lot of shopping and walking. Didn't bought alot of stuffs. 5 t-shirts, 4 tops, 4 berms, 1 gaucho pants, 2 bags for myself, 2 pairs of slipper, 1 pair of flat, 1 belt and some snacks. Not alot as compared to the other 2 couple of friends who we went together =P

Oh yea, David Cook won this season's American Idol! Yeah!!! I like him the best among all the contestants. I was extremely awed and impressed when he sang "Always Be my Baby" during the top 7. It was so awesome and so well sang, I love his version as compared to Maria Carey's.



Way to go David Cook !!!

Fishy fishy...

Sometimes I wonder... The fish food is so much bigger than the fish's mouth and the fish's teeth is so small, plus the water current that cause the food to float around... Wouldn't it be difficult to eat? How long will they need to take to feel full?

New hairstyle

Met Fang, Yun and Wen for ktv this noon. After the ktv, shopped a while at marina and city link with Wen and went home around 4.30pm.

Dunno what came to me, probably getting sick of my boring straight hair, I went to have my hair permed after that. And so as I sat on the chair while the hair stylist put on the curls on my hair, applied some strong chemical which pungent almost choked me, wrapped a towel below my hair and ears, and put on a black cap on my head before pulling over the hair heater over my head.




I looked kinda hilarious and told the hairdresser that I looked like a nun. You see, with the black hairdressing sheet in front of my body, towel around my neck, and the long black cap on my head, I resembled exactly like the nun in Sister Act.




This is not the first time I permed my hair, but somehow, my hair look a mess. And the hairdresser blow and style the hair till it looked like pong-sai-gao.

Anyway, perfer this new hairstyle as compared to the boring straight hair, makes my face smaller as well. Hee...

Utterly regretful bus trip

Juehui and I are sick of having to squeeze into the train every night after our boxing session. So we decided to take the bus yesterday night.

We waited at the bus stop, some bus are quite full, so we decided to wait for another bus since there's alot of bus going to Bedok. And so we waited for around 5 to 10 mins and started to give up the idea of taking bus. As we were turning back to head for the MRT, bus# 7 came. So I shouted to Juehui and we boarded the bus.

Then along the way, we became utterly regretful of taking the bus. We started to think of the possbilities if we had taken train instead. You know, we might have reached Bedok, almost reaching our house, finished bathing, ready for late dinner. Then we started to grumble that we still need to wait for the hair to dry... It was close to 11pm then.

So the whole bus ride became a whining session coz we could have reached Bedok in less than 15 minutes train ride while the bus waiting and travelling time took more than half an hour. T_T

We swear that we will never take bus from there to Bedok again next time. @_@

Blurry blurry...

This morning, as usual, woke up, brush teeth, wash up, bath, put on my clothes, put on my contact lens... wait... how come my right vision is blur after I put on the lens? I took out the contact lens, went to the fridge and took out the eyewash solution. Washed my right eye... washed my left eye... put on the lens again and its still not clear. Anyway, was running late to work, so decided to change a new pair of contact lens to solve eveything, but it still doesn't help. So decided to let it be and rushed out of the house.

I sat in my office workdesk and the blurry vision is irritating me, I can't concentrate on what I was doing. Went to bedok interchange during lunch time to check it out.

At the optometry, I passed my glasses to the optician to check the degree
Optician : OK, please place your chin here (the usual machine that checks the eyes' degree) and let me check your eye sight.
Few seconds later...
Optician : What's the degree of your contact lens that you're wearing?
Blury me : Ermm... 100 left, 200 right...
Optician : Could you have wear the lenses wrongly? Coz the degree for your glasses is 100 right, 200 left.
Blury me : (Pengz...) Errr... OK, I try to change the other way round, if there's anything, I'll come back again.
Zoommmm... Faster left the shop....

Back to office, tried to interchange the right and left lens and ta dah! its so much clearly now. Diaoz... Blury me... And this is not the first time...

Box, box... boxing!

Aiyo... my shoulder is aching. My back is aching too. And my knees, they're aching also... Aiyo... the boxing lesson at Kadir boxing school yesterday after my stopping of kickboxing and body-sculpting class for 2 months almost killed me... -_-|||

I hate the running part coz my running sucks. We're required to run one big round outside PA. Halfway through it, I already ai-see-ai-wa... started to become out of breathe and gos-tan run back to the school. Lucky hubby is beside me "entertaining" me as we run. Gee... Skipping is the easiest stunt for me coz last time I always skip ma. Then the circuit training almost killed my knee. Anyway, my knee-cap hasn't been very good la, so expected to feel the ache.

First thing I reached office, I told JH "my shoulders are aching..." She say its like that one la, coz of the boxing motion. Ya hor... The boxing motion... Took quite some time to get it right as the instructor came to guide us. "Open your legs wider...", "punch straight...", "twist your hip...", "arms dun open so wide..."...... Bleah...

Feel so sleepy now... Yawn... Hubby going overseas again in one week's time. Boo hoo... Looking forward to our Bangkok trip in May... 1 more month!

Another crazy ktv night

It was yet another super duper crazy night last Wednesday.

Went to the Partyworld at Orchard. It was a "JJ-concert cum farewell session" for Amanda who will be leaving HGST this month.

As usual, Joey performed her 爱不怕 despite that she just recovered from her sore throat. Thumbs up for her 卖力的演出 =D



And there's also special "highlights" from others where they are asked to perform involuntarily.

Jasmine almost "chua sai" when YX pulled her out to perform 阿雅's chua-bing song. Coz we don't expect the "performers" to sing only, but also dance together with the song. And Joey was standing beside them demonstrating how to do the dance. Wahaha...




"红豆! 大红豆! 芋头! ㄘㄨㄚ╝ ㄘㄨㄚ╝ㄘㄨㄚ╝ 你要加什么料... " Find this song a bit "sam-baht" -_-|||

Anyway, we enjoyed ourselves as we clap and use sand-pong-pong (dunno what it's called) and the other also dunno call what props to heighten the performance.



Sang lotsa other oldies, super-chee-na, hokkien and cantonese songs.



We ended the whole session with "Auld Lang Syne" and a big toast to Amanda for her future endeavour. The whole scene was so heartwarming and touching; we sang and sway to the song with our arms interlocked.



We left the ktv around 11.45pm. And all of us were like so tired when we reached office the next day @_@ Anyway, this ktv session is definitely better and more fun than the previous one.

Cheeros~

Updates

I suddenly realised that I had been blogging for 8 years. Wow... 8 years... Wow wow... 8 years... wow wow wow... And I realised my English has become more and more lousy as compared to the past where I can fe-li-feh-leh with close to perfect English =( Now I suddenly seem to have limited verbs, adjectives, etc... Hmm... Think I better borrow some story books and brush up my English.

Met Juehui and Shufang for dinner yesterday evening. And surprise, surprise... Orbit-aka-Zhiyong had proposed to Shufang. Cool... Dun see his nick orbit orbit, orbiang orbiang... he's actually quite romantic after hearing Shufang narrate at how he proposed. Congrats fang... Its not an empty waiting... =D

Woo... lotsa friends and colleagues getting married soon. Just attended Wendy's on Saturday. Dion is getting married in November, Joscelyn December, Juehui February... Wow... Hole in the pocket...

Later going to KTV with my bunch of colleagues. The previous ktv session that we went, my jaw almost dropped to the floor when I saw Joey singing and dancing to 草蜢的爱不怕 in front of all of us like a superstar. But I expected something interesting la coz my colleagues organised the ktv session with the email subject "JJ concert". Wahaha... It was then that I understood why... Then with Joey's shirt unbutton (inside got wear another shirt la...), si buay wu style... Then sing and dance like ki-dang like that. Wah lau... See her like si-boon, si-boon in office, actually can get so high and crazy. Then they still bought lightsticks, scream and shout, si buay char... really like attending a concert. Bengz... But was very fun... Afterall most of us are around the same age, work hard and play hard ma. Haha...

Oh ya, I learnt another new gimmick from my cute and bubbly nephew. One Sunday when me and hubby was having lunch at my parent's house, my nephew came out from the toilet and later sang "Transformer... No money to buy..." Si buay cute... Wahahaha...

Hubby returning Singapore tomorrow morning le... Yeah ! Miss him so much...

Bug visitor

Anyone know what bug is this?



Always see this bug flying around in my room. And I will know when they're here coz I can literally hear their wings (I guess they have hard wings) hitting on the cupboard or wall as they fly. Eeks...

家家有本难念的经

Today is a complaint session. A complain and taking-off-the-heart talk with my dad.

I always hear my mum complaining about dad. But today, its dad complaining about mum. And I suddenly realise how dad had been so accomodating, suddenly realise that everything doesn't seem to be as bad as what mum had been complaining. And when I hear my dad's side of story, somehow I felt heartache and felt like crying. I controlled my tears like fuck, trying not to let the tears roll down. And my repect for dad deepens.

And I suddenly felt so sad that I always have this bad misconception about dad. And I suddenly lost my appetite. And I suddenly realised I haven't eaten any meal for the whole day. And... Sigh... 家家有本难念的经...

On my way home, I suddenly wonder if I really want to bring a life to this world and go through all these life's agony...

Sigh... miss hubby so much... sobz... 6 more days...

Look out for him

Vasculitis

Went CGH for review for my tai-goh skin yesterday. And the verdict is that I've got vasculitis. In short, my blood is inflamed. Cause, unknown. Doc says my other organs are not affected and seems like the condition is better now coz the redness has gone down. Good news. But now the patchy scar makes my legs look like cow skin. =( *moo...* Well, I'm still itching as and when, here and there... *scatch, scratch* But its definitely better than the past 2 weeks where I see my leg full of red patches *ga-ling-zhun*

CNY over le, so fast... time flies... Now preparing for Valentine's Day liao. Selling feather roses, anyone interested feel free to contact me. Went Pei's house to wrap the flowers yesterday, reached home around 2am. With the effect of yesterday night's medicine plus this morning's medicine, I'm super duper drowsy now. Mary was teaching me her customer account stuffs coz she'll be going on maternity soon and I was like half asleep, forcing my eyes to open and ears to listen. Halfway through I felt like I was sleeping though my eyes are open. 最高境界...

Zzz...

Edison's scandal - What a big mistake

Edison's scandalous news are seen on newspapers everyday. OMG, what a big mistake he had made. Dumb ass, causing scandalous photos with celebs like Cecilia Cheung and Gillian Chung to be leaked out. Dunno how the gals are gonna bury their face. In the first place, dunno why the gals allow him to take those photos. Think there'll be more news about this coming up.


Hubby's back! Yeah ! So happy to be able to see him and hug him. And it's 2 more days to CNY! Tomorrow's CNY eve but my company don't have half day, only release at probably 3pm. WTF. My family is having reunion lunch lor. Why can't the management think for people like me and mummies who need to prepare the dinner. Sigh...

Anyway, wishing every happy chinese new year, gong xi fa cai. HUAT AH !!!

Thanks hubby

Thanks for the lovely sunny sunflowers hubby. Like it very much.
I'll get well soon. Miss you lots, waiting for your return. Muackz !
