Very Bad Heartburn + Reflux!

Last nite was feeling unexceptionally unwell due to the heartburn...as I was lying down I could feel the acid lingering my throat...even when i cough the acid was oredi halfway thru my throat...like getting ready to be exploded...

Couldnt endure and ignore this feel and went to vomit... Raphael was so sensible...when he sees me puking badly...he refused to stay outside the toilet..I was worried I may puke on him....and at the same time I couldnt even stand properly... How to have him with me...Keep asking him to go out..but he refused...

Repeated he asked me "Mummy 你ok吗?真的啊??? Ok 啊"

When I was about to be done... I wanted to sayang him but i tink i was too shaky and scratch his forehead instead...so i keep saying he ok anot...issit painful? He replied me "no problem, 没问题"

Then he keep sayang me and asked me whether am i better etc.... haiyo
So sweet boy...

Get to sleep till 10am then cheong down to Robinson to utilise my voucher and also see what is on sale... Initially thought of getting milk bottles and some other items but end up buying a Fat Controller from Thomas Train and a guitar for Phael.

Next was the gathering at Marche... Got myself the Lunch special comprising of a skewer of chicken and I added on a cheese hotdog...this set comes with free ice lemon tea...

Then we had some rostti, compliment from Nicole... After that had some desserts... I had brownie with ice cream...cheap lar..brownie only $2.90, ice cream is $4++ per scoop...YUMMY!!

We left Marche around 3++pm as some of the mummies need to leave to run some errands... We took some grp pictures and then some went to shop at Taka while some at Novena square...

Week 33 Checkup - 18-Dec 2010

Went for our regular checkup and our baby now is 2.37kg as at 33 weeks, Dr Kek commented that he looks like Raphael esp the nose the cheeks area...errr.... i do not know how to "analyze" the black and white 2D scan on screen...so ok lor..she say looks like looks like lor..ahhaaaaa

Then Dr Kek commented that the placenta had shifted up and we can try for natural birth but should there be any complications or uncertainty during the labour, will go for c-sect lor... OK LAR! at least she say got chance...rather than tell me very low lying and die die must C-sec that type...felt more relieved!

I noticed Raphael look forward to every single visit wor...not sure issit the invisible bond between him and Dr Kek(who delivered him)... he seems to be so delighted to see her!!

As usual she gave me a very very 抽象 picture which only she will appreciate....hahaa...when I showed this to my mum..she asked me wat is that??? I told her is the close up of the baby face and the tongue lar!!

Another 6-7weeks of countdown... I told my mum...be prepared to eat reunion dinner at my place...she ask me why...i told her...my EDD is CNY leh...so anytime before CNY...i may give birth..LOL

Pupsik Pouch Craze!!

Nearly forget to blog this down!! As most of pple know, I am super crazy about the Pupsik Pouches... Currently before getting this new reversible one, I have 3, gray, fairground and urban chic....


And i always long for that reversible black color sling..which seems so "hip"...but due to its price... i never buy.... its selling at $69.90!! even with discount...its still around $60!!!

I told myself...maybe I shall wait till the yearly pupsik saleaday... the discounts are always very very attractive and irresistable!! Little did I expect, during the first day of monitoring the wild card sale, this item is going at 30% disc!! LOL.... so i got it for around 50bucks!! wohooo!! made my day..

Raphael who loves "blanket" asked me whether is this for him..I told him yes! He will be the first one to use it followed by DIDI.... not bad not bad!!!

Haiz...It happens again

Sometimes it can be very disheartening to hear pple making comments that I am so cold blooded, I buy luxury items for my own son and toys for him... My money I rather splurge than lend it to SOMEONE in need



I shld lend out money to those in need?...but the thing is, do they actually know what happened exactly that caused me to be so extreme and firm in not lending?


If a working person need to borrow money consistently to have his 3 meals at work, something is terribly wrong!


The worst is the food bought are not cheap at all when there are cheaper alternative! Starbucks coffee to Toastbox Breakfast!


Given the pay and amount he is earning, he have more than enough money to eat, to spend to buy things he need.. but the whole thing is he chose to gamble all his salary away in 4D, Toto and mayb casino (who knows)


So why shld i be such a kind hearted idiot to lend money which will dragged and dragged else each month the cycle of borrowing and returning recurred?


pay day return me money, mid month borrow back again... Wah..endless cycle...


What I cannot stand is my own parent who choose to take side and start to find me very "ji jiao"...keep pestering pple to return me..give me faces when i go back...


HELOO....there was a promise to repay me ok... end up become month end return me..middle of month come ask me to lend him again...then month end return me...mid month borrow...


then my original sum owe was left hanging in mid air..coz unable to return..
So sick of all these nonsense and i am not sure issit they side him too much or didnt think about the root of the problem...
Still can tell me since he cannot cut down on 4D...can i cut down on my own personal indulgence like splurging for Raphael and lend him to eat
I told them NO WAY... why shld i be the one cutting down on my expenses and not him? my own hard earn money...it shld be spend happily on my end... i have the rights to splurge and buy watever i wan for my own darling!


Simply irritating...

Heartburn and vomitting!

Its been quite frequent that I experience heartburn and the spicy feeling rose from chest to throat area.


Just yesterday, this got worst that when we went Vivo to eat...simply no appetite and had that burning sensation in my chest area.... Keep wanting to vomit but controlled...until I reached home and cannot tahan anymore...

haiz...had a hard time puking..becoz the output is damn sour...Raphael is so sweet that he stand beside me while i Puke and keep asking me am I ok... then when i am out..he sayang me repeatedly....sweet!!

Rested earlier last night..hope today will be better... right now the spicy feeling is still there... haiz

Baby dancing in my belly!!

Wow! Its really true that 2nd pregnancy, we can feel the little one inside us more intensely and we are more sensitive to their little kicks!!


Even right now I can feel him moving about... sometimes like tickling me...sometimes pushing me..sometimes making my chest abit short of air...

At times i feel him having hiccups... else is stretching or doing some weird movement causing me discomfort!

Now into end of 31 weeks... in less than 9 weeks time.. he be out!! We have yet to finalise the name of this little one.

This daddy, out of the blue tell me Aaron also not bad! hahaa..so now he is trying to decide between Aaron, Gabriel or XXXXXX

I couldnt see my toes anymore when standing up...sob..something sad ah... and i been extra careful since my last tripped and fall incident... watching out not to lose balance

Yeah! Be handing over my work to my colleagues soon!! Everything settled... time to go on long leave in few weeks time!
