Adopt A Wish Campaign

Every year Boy's Bridage run this 'Adopt A Wish' campaign during Christmas period to help to fulfill the wish of the kids from the HOME. Objective of adopting a wish is to get the donor to get involved in the process participating in the community work, althought shopping for a gift is such an easy task for many of us, especially during Christmas, but not everyone is willing.

This year, our company participated in this program and we as organiser hope to share this sense of community responsibility and warmth with our colleagues. Unfortunately, not everyone appreciate the thought, we are fine but certainly hate the discouragement and negative feedback that came.

Nevertheless, there are nice and heartwarming people that make our effort all worthwhile. I have colleagues who are willing to give more than what the kids wishes to make them happeier. Frankly, this is enough to make our day!!

Eventful 2nd Trimester

Knew that there are more progress to look forwards to in 2nd Trimester, but not all progress are fun to have. I experienced sudden sugar dip twice so far and they came so fast that I do not even have time to react. The sudden dip causes giddyness and slight blackout, I need immediate sugar intake to counter the sudden dip. I am prepared since the first attack but the 2nd still came uninvited. I have since stocked up chocolate, sweets, raisin and biscuit in my bag, but still..haiz....Anyway, sudden sugar dip is common during pregency as the babies growth, they demand more blood and this could happened.

I have also experienced leg cramp during my sleep, no joke, it wasn't fun to have it during the middle of the night or anytime of the day.

I also have sleeping problem, I woke up many times during the night and have difficulities falling back to sleep, so I really appreciate a good night of uninteruppted sleep..when will that be?

Good things, I am more energetic and able to last longer thru the day and able to enjoy all foods for now. I think I am also feeling the babies kicks althought I can't really be sure since the kicks felt like tummyache sometime. So far so good for now...

Milestones Celebration

To celebrate the start of 2nd trimester, I bought Sincere and Righteous their first soft toys. They will be travelling with me everyday in the car. So sweet!!

I have also ran out of clothes to wear, the belly is getting more and more obvious. Went to Marina Square and I bought $300 worth of clothes, will they last me thru the whole pregnancy?

Had my gynae appointment yesterday, the twins are now closed to 8cm long and they are doing well. I will see them again in 4 weeks times and the detailed scan is 7 weeks from now. Then I will be 20 weeks already. Cool!!

By the way, gender not confirmed at this stage, the stand in gynae said he can't see, so will ask my irresponsible but experienced gynae when I see him during the next visit.

Farewell to Mrs Lee

If you have not read, Mrs Lee passed away on 2nd Oct at 5.40pm. Search online and you should be able to find articles and tributes about her. She will always be remembered as a Tower of Strength by MM Lee and the rest of Singaporean.

Was sadden by the news of her passing. Yes, she had been bedridden, she is on life-support but she is still there for MM Lee. Now that she is gone, he had lost his soulmate and it will be a tough journary for the old man.

Goodbye Mrs Lee and MM Lee, please stay strong!!!

Gone the 1st Trimester and welcome the 2nd

1st trimester is officially over and I am so glad. I visit the loo less frequently and I do not have the irritiating cough and blocked nose anymore. What had came was heartburnt and insomnia during some nights.

There are more exciting progress to look forwards to in this 2nd Trimester, babies ears are fully developed and they can start hearing me, I must mind my language from now on and importantly I should be able to start feeling their kongfu kicks. Do you think they will kick at each other?

I am also running out of clothes to wear, I need to buy some nice maternity clothings. Time to spend money again.
