Ah girl blood flow..

During my 25 weeks routine ultrasound, I was alerted that Baby girl is resisting the blood from me, the scan result was different from the detailed scan where blood flow was normal. Nevertheless, Doctor said there are no cause for worried for now since there are no sign of complication. However, I have go back for an scan to check the condition.

Went back today at 26 weeks to scan, thanksfully, the blood flow is now normal for both babies. Like what the doctor said, the resistance from baby girl could be mother natural way of wanting to flow more blood to baby boy since the boy is smaller in size than the girl. Anyway, both babies are within the good size for their weeks...

Looking back at 2010

Happy boxing day, hope you have a good time opening up your pressies today, that's provided if you have managed to hold the tearing of the gift and wait till today.

Christmas ended so quickly and now we are all preaparing to welcome 2011. Times really fly too fast this year. I realised I did not set any resolutions for 2010 and I should not set anything for 2011 too. Anyway, 2010 have been a special year for me, mainly because I am pregnant, not with Sincere only but with Righteous as well. This is the best thing that happened to me this year and I am fully and totally grateful to GOD for HIS grace. Feeling their kicks and knowing that they are growing well is something that money can never buy. The loves that I received from my friends and family also warmth my heart, thank you folks!!

What will 2011 be? Not sure but it will be good and better year than before. Blessed New Year...all my dear friends..

Christmas Shopping for the little ones

Was at Toys R us and we overheard some interesting conversation and negotiation that parents had with their kids.

Conversation 1:
Father: You can choose whatever you want!!
Kid: I want this.....(happily)
Father: No, I don't like it...
Kid: Huh??? (what the F*** look)

Conversation 2:
Kid: Daddy, I want this becos I don't have this at home..
Father: You don't have alot other things at home, does that mean you can buy everything here??
Kid: Can meh???
Father: ....walk away...

Conversation 3:
Mother: Darling, have you decided what you want?
Girl: Yes, this make up set...
Mother: Are you sure??
Girl: Yes...mummy
Mother: Okie, choose something else...
Girl:...what the hell...hahahaha

I asked Louis, will we become parents like them?? We asked the kids to choose their present and ended up saying NO to whatever they want. Louis said NO..because he will not even ask them, he will decide the present instead..We shall see!! Anyway, the store was a big chaos when we were there, the parents and kids are all going crazy choosing the presents, we were there for our nieces and nephew too..hope they like whatever we have choose for them.

Christmas is coming...

2010 passes too fast and next week is Christmas already, I am not fully prepared for the festive yet, too many things to do and there are too little time left.

There are undone Christmas shopping and I hate to join the crowd on the weekend. What should I do?

I am still thinking if I should host Christmas dinner at my place since I only make use of the Oven once every year, will be a waste not to host dinner during this season but at the same time I am feeling lazy..someone needs to help me!!

Anyway, I better settle my Christmas shopping before the it is too late...Merry Christmas to all dearies and to my little boy and girl who are actively kicking me everyday..Mummy is looking forward to see both of you in a few months time..Love ya!!

Company D&D

In celebration of our company 10th years anniversary, we had our celebration at Singapore Turf Club. The celebration was considered successful in my opinion, for once our colleagues were creative and sporting, they all dressed up for the occassion according to the theme that their team leader had planned.

Like any events, there were some hipcups at the beginning and like all situations, it will all turn out well and in the end, we did survive the celebration.

We had enough prizes for our lucky draw for all confirmed colleagues and everyone is dying for the 4 iPads that we had. Unfortunately, I am not one of the winners, I won an Nokia X5 instead. Not complaining since Big Boobs was unlucky again and again....


Our lucky draw prizes


Poor big boobs - She got umbrella..hahhaha

What a happening December 2010

December 2010 is happening, other than looking forward to Christmas, the events that are happening just make live alot of completed...hahaha..

Had my annual retreat at Bintan and we did it again at Banyan Tree, the trip was lovely and heavenly, no chopy ferry trip and groomy weather. Everything was just perfect except that we did not get a free upgrade this year. Nevertheless, the room that we paid for was still extravagant enough for us to go GAGAGAGAGA!!

December is a concert month for us too...watch 'Cinder-rela' with Louis and we have two more show coming up. 'Crazy Christmas' and 'River Dance'...I am a supporter of local production but interestingly, I missed all the show for the past few years and this year, finally get down to booked it...thanks to big boobs too..without her booking for me, I might miss the show again!!

Knowing that when the twins arrived, there will be limited ME time and COUPLE time...the thought makes us treasure our time alot more. We do not waste our free weekend morning lazing in bed anymore, instead we started exploring breakfast and nice chilled out places. We need to enjoy the peace and calm before the storm hit us.

We are half way thru Dec and I know there are more to come...will fully enjoy the season and look forward to the future...not forgetting the nice Christmas gift shopping for my loved one...

An eloborated wedding!!

Attended the most elaborated wedding ever, lots of personalisation and customisation done to the smallest details. The painfully allocated seat with personalised menu to every indivisual, the fresh flowers arrangement on every table, the napkin was nicely tie up with personalised ribbons with the name of the bride and groom and not forgetting the Live Jazz music throughtout the dinner and many more.

The bride is an experienced banquet manger herself and am sure she had her fair share of planning for many wedding couples and her wedding was put together of all the ideas and effort of her past experiences.

I must agreed, the wedding was well organised with lots of effort put in and the cost must be high too. Hope the couple enjoy every moment of it...cos to guest like me...the details really only create a moment of impression, and nothing more.

Detailed scan at week 21

Went for the routine detailed scan, the procedure went well and it was confirmed with picture that it is one boy and one girl. The scan started well with the focus on baby 1, which is ah girl. Girl is hyperactive and refuse to stay at one positon long enough for the detailed to be capture, so it took us awhile to see everything. When come to the Boy, it is the direct opposite. Ah boy refuse to move and stayed on the same postion that his face feature detailed can't be seen. When the Doc try to move him, he covered his face with his hands...why are they so different. I went for a walk, came back for the scan and he is still in the same position. Ended up, I have to go back to KKH for the scan again on Monday. Ah boy, now the scan is double the cost...happy???

Week 20!!

I am week 20 today and this is the half way mark of my pregnancy. I have completed 50% of the journey and 50% more will be the day I meet my twins. So looking forward. Before that happened, we will be seeing the twins next week during the detailed scan, hopefully two of them are growing well.

Knowing that after the twins arrived, it will be tough for myself to enjoy my me time or couple time as much as we want, so we started our Breakfast date routine again. It was great spending lazying morning at my favourite Starbucks cafes...lovin it. There is a nice place at Horse City (near to Turf City) called Picotin, we shall try it next time.


The nice pastries at Starbucks


Breakfast with myself.

Recently we tried out Burger Shack at Bt Timah area, the burger was juicy and tasty, the bread was soft and delicious, best thing is, the price is not expensive, similar to Carl Junior. That will be my favourite Burger place for now.

Burger Shack - Nice place

It is a boy and a girl

The gender is out, I am having a baby boy and baby girl. Isn't that nice and sweet, my little girl will be able to to be dress in those cute little dresses. Little boy, will stick to the boring looking skirt and pants...life is unfair, what to do??

When Doc told me that it is a boy....and a girl, I was thrilled. I was mentally preapred for 2 boys and the girl is really a gift..for now. 19 years down the road will be a different story, i guess.

I can officially feel their kicks too. Not all the time but when they do kick hard, it feels like a little bruise at one part of my tummy..and it has a lingering effect (pain effect). Now, they are only 18 weeks and their kicks will only get stronger. Come on babies, kicks all you want, you will get it when I meet you next year.

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.
