Already agreed that they will go back during my confinement since it coincides with Trenyce's jun sch holiday...duno why all of a sudden, she changed her mind. It can be quite a headache trying to reason with the old folks bcos they only listen to what they believe in and ignore what they dont want to. Mil even told her own sister over the phone that she will be bringing the kids back during my confinement and hence cannot go back to Sitiawan which means there isnt any miscommunication between us.
We already imagine the worst. That is, the 2 kids will stay behind with us. With the confinement auntie around, bb will be taken care of. I will take care of Kaden myself and thankfully Ester has been trained to take care of Trenyce for the past 6 mths she's been with us. Plus hubby will take a week off from work to help..guess it shld be ok. The only oppoortunity cost is I wont be able to bf bb exclusively.. BF needs alot of time and I wont be able to afford the time if I have to take care of Kaden. Well, thats it for the time being. We shall see how it goes and adjust our plan accordingly. Pray that pils will understand and situation will improve.
Dear lord, pls pray that pils will understand our position and move according to original plan. Amen.

Heard that someone had vandalised the wiring by pouring some kerosene down from the 11th floor. All phonelines from 11th floor down to 6th floor were affected. The phones were toneless for at least 3days.
Not knowing that the phone line was down as it was quite unexpected, my mother tried calling our house several times. She wanted to check if we have reached home but couldnt get thru....thinking we could have unplugged the phoneline while we were away :p
Thank god for blessing our matrimony home.

Hubby: Eh, I am now at the guardian pharmacy. Do you know how much is the stretchmark cream you asked me to buy?
Me: I dont know leh. Didnt ask Cathryn.
Hubby: It is almost SGD$300 leh!!!
Me: Wow so exp ah!
Hubby: Its so exp that you cant even find it on the shelf. Have to approach the pharmacist at the counter.
Me: Wow....
Hubby: So how? Want to buy or not?
Me: Hmmm...Dont know leh. So exp. But my stretchmarks is very bad this time round leh....what to do huh?
Hubby: Like that ah...buy loh buy loh. Take it my gift for you lah.

Recently, thoughts of turning into a full time SAHM keep coming back to me.....
Although I am one of the lucky few with my inlaws helping to care for the kids. I really think I am lucky as compared to those who have to rely heavily on the maid. I still feel like doing it myself especially with Trenyce growing and getting a bit out of control. There are many other reasons which is not convenient for me to spell out but generally everyone is different so the way you do things will be different. There were times you just wish to bring up the kid the way you want to cos you feel thats the best for them and if you couldnt do it, you feel guilty...feel that you do not fulfill your duty as a mother. I have tried my very best to stretch my time at home to do whatever I can do but I feel its still not enough, I couldnt even cook a meal for my girl before I leave for my work....couldnt even brush her teeth, change her into uniform and doll her up nicely to be ready for school....I only managed to feed Kaden's "breakie" before I leave...
Frankly, I tried very hard to dissolve the SAHM idea by reasoning with myself but the more I think about it the more I feel like doing so......but hubby doesnt quite agree with the idea. He was worried about our finances, that we wouldnt be able to live the way we do like today, that we wouldnt be able to provide a better lifestyle for our kids..... if he becomes the sole breadwinner. Indeed, for me to be a SAHM, we will have to sacrifice some of the luxuries in life like the car....but I feel that its nothing compared to having me around caring for the kids on my own.....oh well....just have to bear a while more...dont know I can tahan for how long........

Then just last week, the water heater at my common bathroom was down and the kids had to bath at the masterbed bathroom. We quickly went to NTUC Extra at Hougang Festival Mall after work hoping to get a replacement asap, but the lady who served us told us that we had to wait 10days for our turn to have the technician come to my place to replace the heater. Hence, we did not purchase the set from NTUC Extra..deciding to try our luck elsewhere where we can quickly get it fixed. In the end, my handy manny was the one who fixed the heater...not bad for a first timer! We bought the pansonic sets from Best Denki at Junction 8 on Monday and he fixed the 2 water heaters with some help from my fil. 2 heaters beos the one in my masterbed bathroom was showing signs of turning "gila" so we had it changed together.
The 3rd thing that broke down within the same week was the toilet flush at my masterbed bathroom! It was less than 3 days apart from the breakdown of the water heater! We had to flush mannually for about 3days before my handy manny found the parts to replace the faulty one. That was last Saturday when my toilet flush was repaired, it was easier to get the part so was repaired earlier than the water heater.
Deardear was really great ...wouldnt know what to do without my handy manny around!
Love you lots *muacks*
[that was a saying that when things happen it will happen consecutively for 3 times...so its really true man! haha...]

I lost 7kg straight after my delivery and became 70kg. I lost another 2kg one week after I returned home....then another 2kg the following week. I was 64kg by the time Kaden was a month old, still 6kg more to my pre-pregnancy weight and 10kg more to before I had Trenyce.Quite sad but my mother said I lost alot already and it would take a whil to lose the rest of the kilos and asked me to be patient.I read or heard from somewhere it will take 6 mths at least to lose all the extra kilos compltely. I hope its true.
I am now going into the 3rd month and still 4kg to lose to return to my pre-pregnancy weight before having Kaden and 8kg to before having Trenyce. I am watching very closely of what I am eating now....hoefully will reach my targeted weight soon.
One thing I am rather thankful is that I have managed to fit into most of my tops and bottoms except for some fitting trousers which no matter how I struggled in also mission impossible! haha....
Oh well, will have to try harder to lose the extra kilos:P

Trenyce was quite scared initially. After much coaxing, she managed to calm down and enjoyed the lion dance performances with me.
After the performances, the "lions" would usually give some lucky numbers for the punters. I managed to click the numbers with my mobile phone but didnt join in the crowd to bet the numbers :p
If you think you can decipher the wordings, go ahead and hope you win something! Good Luck!

Anyways, I am glad he has the ram upgraded.....its really different...the pc is responding very much faster! Well, he has it upgraded from 256kb to 2gb :p
The next thing is to change the modem....the modem we got about 6mths ago is horrible.....the connection always gets intermittent and its really frustrating....imagine you are halfway writing your entry and suddenly you lost the connection....the frustration is beyond words to describe, dont you agree? I am waiting to recontract my broadband plan to get a new modem....hopefully that will solve the problem...should be I think..

I striked 4D last Saturday! The number is actually my birthdate, month and year! Actually its my beloved mother who got me to buy the numbers otherwise I would be lazy to do so cos I dont really believe in gambling and I only buy numbers once in a blue moon like during the festive period such as birthday or CNY special Toto Draw :p Counting the number of times I bet...its less than 3 times a year..hehe...
Anyways, I won consolation prize and my prize money was only S$120 hehe....but its enough to make me very happy cos it shows I am going to have a lucky year....superstitious eh? hehehe..... On top of that, I won S$40 playing poker cards with my relatives....I striked 21 dots twice....once as a player and once as a banker! hehehe! My relatives they all commented that I have got baby's luck. Hmm...I am not so sure..perhaps its really is :)

I fell sick again. Quite a bad one. Guess I must have been overworked myself already. All the long hours working and a hush-hush trip to-fro Labis must have taken a toll on my preggie body. Though I took half a day to rest on last Monday after the trip back from Labis, it still didnt help. Lost my voice, running nose and a dizzy head......Finally declared mc last Thursday and Friday. Went to see doctor but was advised against taking any medicine cos most medicine contains antibiotics and antiseptics and is not good for baby. So to be on the precaution side, I decided to heed my company doctor's advice. Relying just on "natural" means to recover....took oranges, lozenges and pi-pa-gao to cure myself since these are the few that Iare safe for my consumption.....
On the road to recovery already but my voice has not fully returned yet. Everyone said my voice sounds sexy, maybe I can apply for part-time telemarketeer job now to earn extra bucks for baby...hehehee...

It was sad to hear that one of them is currently going thru the divorce procedures. Their marriage lasted barely 3 years, still a very young marriage. I remembered attending their wedding when I was pregnant with Trenyce and she looked really happy on her big day. Well who won’t right? Anyway, I just felt that it was such a pity. On the other hand, it was also good that they decided once and for all what they needed to do to move on with their lives. If you and your partner do not share a common goal in life then wouldnt it be better off if both of you do whatever is necessary so that you both can start afresh again with your own life? No matter what, one is still responsible for yourself cos nobody is responsible for you so you got to lead life the way you want it to be and be HAPPY......
