Posts from Previous Blog

Upon advice from a friend, I have decided to use back Blogger again.

And being the "centralised" freak that I am, I am moving my blog from Space.Msn back here.

I'm now 36 weeks...
Times flies. I'm in my 36 weeks of pregnancy. Very soon, in the next few weeks to come, I'm to be a mother.

Right now, I'm at a stage where I'm getting heavier. Gosh.. the weight! 13kgs since I discovered my pregnancy.. and I can't stand it... This really really makes me "pei-fu" my cousin who had just given birth 3 months ago... She put on an amazing 22kgs at the end of her pregnancy! Gosh! How on earth did she cope?!

My stomach is very taut now. And my son is practising his kung-fu kicking inside me. A joyous feeling even though at times, it can be rather uncomfortable.. But what the heck.. it's an uncomfortable feeling that I enjoy because it is also a sign that he is well.

A few nights ago, I discovered to my horror, some stretch marks at my side. Sob.. sob... So sad, but who to blame? Myself lah.. Come to think of it, I didn't apply any anti-stretch marks lotion on that area. I was concentrating so much on my stomach and my bum that I neglected that part of my body... Now, too late to regret... Hopefully still not too late if I start applying the lotion now...

MRT "Gentleman"
On the way to work this morning, I saw both a man and a woman vying for an empty seat in the train. It simply left me shaking my head after the event. In actual fact, it is an insignificant event that happened very fast and no verbal communication between the two of them.

The story goes like this. Somebody who was sitting alighted at Hougang MRT. The woman who was standing near to the just vacant seat started a step towards to it. However, she was stopped in her step as a man who was standing further got to the seat faster than her. Now bear in mind that the man actually have to pass her to get to the empty seat.

So it ended up with both of them looking at each other; seizing each other up. Anyway, the woman lost as the man simply bo-chap her and went ahead to occupied the seat. While observing all this, I was thinking to myself, why can't the man let her have the seat? Be a gentleman mah.... Or if not, be a man lah.. He knows she want the seat, why "fight" for the seat? In any case, I feel that she has every right to the seat since she is standing nearer to the seat than the man.

Insomnia
Insomnia hits! Sleepy but yet can't get into sleep. What a torture. Decide to msn. Found my contacts all asleep. Decide to hit the blog.

Is this insomnia that I'm having lately a sign to prepare me for the future? That there'll be many more such sleepless nights to come after the arrival of my baby?

I'm in my 34 weeks. Weight gain is about 12 kg. But already, I have started to feel the burden of the extra kilos the past 1 week. I guess, to a certain extent, I'm quite fortunate that I only started to feel now. Some preggies started to feel the weight earlier.

My body, especially my back, is aching. I can't get up without my usual ease and flexibility. Definitely need my husband or whoever to give me a hand to get up from the seat now. As it is, it's the pain that is causing me sleepless nights. I can't turn from left to right or right to left without any pain.

Maybe I'll surf somemore before trying to sleep. I know I'll have a headache later.

Starting Out Again
Trying to blog is not easy. Tried blogging at Blogger but find it not easy to use. Decide to try Space.Msn. Hopefully I can settle down to one blog site.

Headache

Don't like headaches. Rarely do I have one.. Although I can foresee that I will soon have lots... due to not enough sleep at night, with the arrival of my son.

Continous sleep is very important. It make a hell lot of difference to your day. Believe me. I have always been a sound sleeper but as I progress further into my pregnancy, there's this frequency of waking up in the middle of night, usually 4.30am-5am. What a torture!

Starting Out

Here I am. Taking the ultimate step to creating a blog. Wonder how far will I sustain this newly found interest. And whether I will have time after my baby arrives.
