Lele is almost 5 mths old!

He had his first haircut on 4 May, the day he turned 4 mths according to the lunar calendar.. and he is botak! ah ma wiped his head with some martell and his hair grew really fast.. haha.. he can flip on his own already.. we've fed him rice cereal and he can eat quite a lot! huge appetite! very soon will feed him porridge, yay!

 

this is the first time he fell asleep in the carrier.. so cute!

Happy 2 months old to LeLe!

He has grown so much within 2 mths! Almost 6kg and 60cm now! Daddy and Mommy sang him happy birthday song, hahaha.. May he be healthy and happy always! mosquitoes shoo shoo!



 

Getting ready for bath time!

Yay! i've learnt to bathe him finally! he likes to be in the water and starting to kick real hard.. can't wait to see him flip and crawl, haha..

Typical MIL???

Yes, I've given birth and am enjoying motherhood if not for my mil.. why does she always tell baby "mummy is bad, mummy is naughty, mummy no good"?? everything mummy's fault?? everything mummy does is wrong?? what about daddy?? why didn't i hear my mama telling baby "daddy is bad, daddy is naughty, daddy no good"?? simply don't understand!!! why does she have to say those things to baby?? i was so angry and upset!! hid in my room and teared, dun wanna see her face.. i hate her!! there are many other things that she did that get on my nerves, dun wanna elaborate further.. i tolerate bcos i wan to give her face and respect her as an elderly but i really need to vent it out if not i dunno what i will do next time.. i try not to think about her as it affects my mood, appetite and milk production.. my poor baby is not getting enough breast milk!! i must not be like her in future as i understand how my daughter in law would feel..

36 weeks!

So many things happened during the past few weeks.. sch holidays started and most of the time i'm at home.. whenever i look at fb updates, so many ppl post about where they went on holidays.. so envious of them!! it's ok, next yr we can bring xiao wang along too!!

 

enjoyed food tasting at pan pac, had so much laughter during the meal.. hope everything goes smoothly for sis's wedding!! anabel's sis is out to meet the world and anabel is so cute to sayang her little sis, miss her a lot.. looking forward to cny when they are back to sg agn..

 

everyone was so happy to hear gd news from huifen but the foetus was gone so soon.. feel so sad for her.. we were still chatting abt our gynae and pregnancy few days ago de.. this made me cherish xiao wang more and i feel so fortunate that he is kicking me hard everyday, used to complain on some days that he kicked and turned so vigorously that i can't sleep well :p already in my 36 weeks and not sure if i'm fully prepared for delivery.. keep wondering how it will feel when the time has arrived.. i try not to think abt it too much and still go out shopping, hopefully by walking more it will help in the delivery process..

 

this is the most recent place we went, west coast plaza.. the doraemon exhibition is so cute! had problem uploading the rest of the pics :(

 

*happy family having a meal together*

I'm 27!

This is an advanced bday meal prepared by B for me.. Omelette, fries and tony roma's st louis pork ribs.. the sauce for pork ribs a bit too sweet.. we finished everything and were so full :p it was a simple and cosy meal at home, love it! it's getting more and more difficult for me to step out of the house these days.. leg muscles so tight and cannot walk too fast and gets tired easily and keeps raining and there's just so many excuses for me to stay at home and nua.. haha..

 

btw, xiao wang is 31 weeks old weighing 1.7kg.. my bday wish is for him to grow healthily and be a happy baby.. his name is Ong Hai Le 王海乐.. hope his heart is as big as the ocean to be magnanimous towards everyone so as to be a happier and cheerful person.. maybe not giving him ang moh name unless thot of a nice one..

 

While waiting for the arrival of xiao wang, need to start packing and washing his stuff, check and buy any necessities for him and myself, pack hospital bag, and enjoy myself for x'mas.. haha.. try not to think about the labour pain, have been telling myself if others can do it, i can too! jia you! 妈妈真伟大！ 

 

 

 

BB Graduated!

 

Yay! Finally!

 

Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary! Wanted to go back to the restaurant we had lobster last yr but it was closed for reno  -_- in the end bb was so sad with the dinner at centrepoint and the food was exp! bought some baby stuff at robinsons before making our way home.. retail therapy eased bb's mood a little, haa.. Many more anniversariessss to come, muacks!

22 weeks old!

Here's the baby's face! was slightly shocked and scared at the first look as the 3D and coloured image on the screen was slimy and 'out of shape'.. Went to NUH for detailed scan and the scan is really DETAILED, haa! can see the brain structure, heart, stomach, kidneys, rib cage, spine, nostrils, ears, limbs, balls and bird bird.. haha! everything is normal, yay!! hmm.. should start thinking of nice names liao.. 2nd MC taken, more to come :p 

5th Anniversary and Baby Updates

It's our 5th anniversary! went to harry potter exhibition at mbs and took a stroll at marina bay gardens after that.. weather was veri nice with a clear blue sky and a lot of tourists.. bb kept complaining about the dead flowers,' haa..

i sat on the reserve seat on the mrt and there's a couple of auntie and uncle satnding in front of me.. throughout the journey keep complaining to each other "nowadays youngsters ah, dun give up their seats.... blah blah blah.." den the auntie sacarstically told her husband nvm lah, maybe i look younger than them... den when i close my eyes to rest, the auntie purposely on her hp music loudly and cough loudly, trying to disturb me.. so irritating!!! cannot stand all these aunties and uncles! fit enough to be the first to rush into the train and still expect ppl to give up their seats to them, fat hope!! i'm not gg to do that!! bb moved in to the centre of the carriage liao if not think he will blast at them.... what is wrong with all these aunties and uncles seriously.......  

Almost 4 mths now.. Baby has grown so much.. blood tests results are normal and low risk for down's syndrome, yeah!! but my back is starting to ache.. still having nausea and vomitting once a while.. haiz.. gender more or less confirmed to be a boy.. can see the 'bird' during the scan, so cute so small, hahaha.. our spare room is painted pink and bb say can paint it blue but mama say no painting and nailing in the house.. it's ok, i like it pink! still maintaining my zero MC award, *clap clap clap*

Few days back, walked to jp with sam and zj after sch den sam said can see my tummy liao.. den i make my dress flat on my tummy and she was so shocked "that's so cuuuuuttteee!!" so funny la.. but ytd, one of my red cross cadets still ask if i'm married, omg.. almost 4 mths liao still asking this question.. faints.. let her see my tummy one day she will be even more shocked.. haha!



3 months old!

Went for the Down's Syndrome tests at NUH.. first part of the test is the scan to measure some lengths and dunno what calculations.. this requires the baby to lie flat facing up as shown in the pic.. but baby wasn't cooperating at first.. all sorts of funny positions, just refuse to lie down! no choice, gotta do blood test first den wait for second scan.. After much effort to make the baby move, finally got the right position! phew! based on scan report, everything seems normal, just that the measurements is closer to the upper limit of the normal range.. still waiting for the blood test results before we can confirm that baby is normal..

previously still saying lucky i nv experience morning sickness, said it too soon... and it should be called 'all-day-sickness' instead.. always feel nausea nowadays and even vomitted once in school.. so serious that i have to eat sour plum while teaching..

student A: cher, u eating sweet!
me: i'm not eating sweet
student A: den wat u eating?
me: i dun hav to tell u

student B (giggling): cher, u hav gd news to share?
me: not related to the topic, after lesson den ask
after lesson...
student B: cher, so how? got gd news?
me: wat gd news u wan?
student B: are u pregnant?
me: how u know?
student B: congrats! aiya, can tell wat

i feel so proud of myself for gg thru 2 weeks of school without taking mc.. maybe will be getting one soon, haha..       

Second Gynae Visit

xiao wang has grown so much! this scan is taken at 10 wks and 6 days old.. can see the head liao! xiao wang was swimming around actively and i was very very surprised and amazed to see him/her moving, haha.. didn't expect to be able see any movement at such an early stage..

while waiting to see doc, saw another pregnant lady vomitting, so xin ku.. grateful that i didn't vomit so far.. sch gg to start soon, xiao wang mus continue to be guai guai ah.. oh, gg for the down's syndrome tests soon, abit scared and worried.. don't dare to think of the results and consequences now.. hope everything is fine!

First Gynae Visit

Spent some time to read up the forums to find a gd gynae.. wanted to deliver at Gleneagles so limit my search to Gleneagles doctors only.. finally decided on a gynae that has a clinic at boon lay mrt so my check-ups would be more convenient.. met him for the first time and find him quite friendly and humourous.. here's the first scan of xiao wang.. the 2 tiny white crosses is the location of xiao wang and is only 0.37cm long at 6 wks.. the black bean like structure is the water bag and the surrounding is the womb.. 

 Looking forward to the next visit to see xiao wang grow bigger and healthily.. Expected delivery date is on 16 Jan 2013 so most likely won't be able to attend sis's wedding, aiyaya! so sad! and cannot wear the heels that i bought previously!

One of the meals cooked to satisfy my craving.. starting to feel the symptoms of pregnancy like getting tired and sleepy, lack of appetite though i feel hungry, and cravingss for certain food.. now den i realise mothers are really very noble! i mus jia you!

小王 OTW

Yes, i'm gg to become a big fat woman! asked b to check the sign against the instruction manual and he said smiling "is that my 小王??" hopefully this brand is reliable ah..

not sure how to describe my feelings now.. maybe 20% excited to have our first baby, 20% calm as cannot feel the baby and morning sickness yet, 20% worried that my child would end up like some of the notorious students that i'm teaching cos my baby would be so used to 'hearing' them in the coming 9mths or so, 20% of doubt not sure if I can handle both work and baby, 20% scared of the delivery pain.. complicated ya.. told b i wish can pass him the baby to deliver so i won't feel the pain den he say will buy me a diamond ring for the baby, haa!

something 丢脸 to share.. haha.. this pregnancy test kit is the 2nd try actually.. i wasted the first pack cos i nv read instructions carefully den got no results as in no line appear at all, now i can totally understand why students nv bother to read exam questions carefully and giv me rubbish answers.. i bought a spare kit in case it fails again so whoever needs it can get it from me.. hope 小王 won't be as blur as me!

not sure if still can make it for the dragon baby.. it'll be an added bonus for b if it is a dragon baby cos he scared of snake, haaha.. but that's not impt, i just want a healthy baby!

Time to look for gynae and break the news to our loved ones!

Zeh's ROM - 050512

It was a relaxed and casual solemnisation ceremony.. some guests wore scandals and slippers, including the groom, haha! Luckily, the weather was nice, not veri veri hot kind.. no rain means the couple is not stingy, wahaha!

Reception table by the beach.. so proud of my artistic skill (it only works sometimes) :p

Their solemnisation cocktail stand!

Papa veri happy and excited to be marching in with zeh later!

Here comes Mr & Mrs Tan!

 and now i have a di di to call me zeh zeh!

Looking forward to the wedding banquet on 19.01.2013!

Everybody opening their gifts happily!

and we got the same gift bags!

May 2012 be a great year for all!!!

We really went to Maldives!

Booked the trip last minute, keke.. have been thinking of gg for a long time actually but no action taken.. fortunately, we went!!


we were compensated with a lunch buffet for late check-in on our arrival day.. tat saves us at least 100usd!! food is not cheap there.. another minus pt: ATs. i shall onli mention the positive side of our trip from now on!!


this private dinner set-up on the beach is for couples who took the resort's honeymoon package which is alot more exp and the date mus be within 6 mths of marriage so even if we hav the money oso no use.. haa.. it's jus so amazing for them to come up with the idea to dig holes in the sand to form the steps, table and the 2 chairs..

Weather wasn't nice on the first 2 days, had a few showers throughout the day and sunset cruise had to be cancelled bcos of bad weather.. we had to keep on reserving for sunset cruise until weather turns gd, finally! they use this traditional sail boat for the sunset cruise, so cool!

Got a korean couple on board with us and this is taken by the korean guy.. everytime i see those korean ladies, i can't help but stare at their nose to see if they had done plastic surgery, think i'm being rude to stare but cos sometimes i couldn't tell at first sight so gotta stare abit longer at diff angles, keke..

champagne + sea breeze + sun set = shiok!

champagne + sea breeze + sun set + dolphins = shiok shiok!

kayak-ed around the island in 50mins.. went near the water villas area and saw some couples in their private sun decks/pool, so sorry to disturb u all :p

笨鸟.. haha.. cos always follow the baby sharks which will direct where the small fishes go and sometimes they will jump above the water but 笨鸟will miss to catch the small fishes.. we do see it succeed a few times thou so not so 笨 afterall.. haa..

love this shot taken by B..

and this taken by me! white sand, turquoise water, blue sky and my B.. how to not love this pic..

snorkelling near our water villa.. oh, we onli upgraded the last night to water villa.. it's really a great experience!!

walkway to the water villas...

tada! our water villa!

bed overlooking the water!

bath tub too!

private sun deck area..

these 2 gigantic stingrays always hang around at our water villa and we were discussing how many ppl each can feed.. missing the sambal stingray back home, haa!

our last meal at the teppanyaki and sushi restaurant.. nice chefs and yummy food!!

this is so far the most relaxing trip.. perhaps reserving the restaurants for dinner and looking at plastic bottles floating on water that couldn't be reached are the most stressful part, haha! hope to visit other islands in maldives soon, before they are gone!

My 26th Birthday!

Had a gathering at ah ma's house on 13th nov to celebrate 3aunt, heni, ah hee kor kor and my birthday together.. thanks sis and kel for the self-designed icing room cake, didn't get to eat the distinctive strawberry thou.. must be eaten by jia rong!! machiam his birthday ah, haha..

Our breakfast on 18th nov..

Dinner prepared by B.. steamed minced pork with chilli, egg with dark soy sauce and curry chicken (yeo's canned food, keke)

and sparkling ice wine! slight sweet and smooth taste, good! can buy more when we come back from maldives!

19th nov was spent with sis and future brother in law most of the time.. went for blood test in the morning, quick bite and stayed in the bridal shop for 3 hr plus.. after tat, we went to dempsey for another meal.. came home rest a while and went to boon lay market for sambal bbq squid and stingray with B.. the squid is veri nice, my fav sotong!!

not to forget all the well wishes received from students, friends and family members on fb, whatsapp and sms.. love all of u!!

Bali Trip: 5 Nov -7 Nov 2011

Here goes our 3 day 2 night atas life in bali.. haa.. It was a rest and relax trip with no agenda or itinerary.. except for some spa centres research the day before, keke.. besides spa, we had staff coming into the villa to make breakfast and bbq dinner for us.. really atas hor!

oh, i mus say atas ppl get hurt easily.. the guys played with the motorbikes and caused a casualty.. hope he's healed by now! another one fell sick due to wall's ice cream.. last one hurt his toe and had 7 days hospitalisation leave.. quite terrible ah..

Some pics of our short atas life..

Villa Kebun in Seminyak.. 3 bedrooms just nice for 3 couples.. All rooms with outdoor bathrooms that come with mosquitoes, lizard, toad and worm.. got 2 cows over the wall of our bathroom so can hear the moo moo sound.. really close to the nature.. fortunately the villa was clean, thumbs up!

Our private pool! and the water is warm.. shiok shiok..

Great for a dip at night!

On the way to beach..
