God is at it again... i just recovered from bronchitis and today 2 colleagues walked past me coughin. colleague A has been having this horrid, phlegmy cough for like a week... and she was coughing past me. colleague B came over to chit chat and told me her doctor told her she has a throat/lung infection...

-.-"

so i really hope that my cough doesn't come back.. eeks. thanks to all those who've been praying for me.

baby ethan has been really active lately. his grandparents prefer to call him naughty. he has been doing all kinds of acrobatics inside my tummy... sommersaults and what have you. and have i mentioned that he is getting a lot stronger now? and he kicks my ribs... hahaha. so cute. but painful.... zzz... i'm 6.5 months now. can't imagine how strong and big he's gonna get as delivery day approaches

and now, more pregnancy inconveniences... my feet are start to swell. it's called water retention. help help!! my left foot is swelling more than my right. which makes my feet look weird, not to mention not fit my shoes properly. i hope i don't look too bloated.

saw my colleague today who came back from maternity leave. my, she looks good. she lost so much weight! inspiration man. whereas heard from my another colleague that yet another from another office that returned to work still looks like she's pregnant. she dropped by my office the other day to see me but sadly i was in another office. she asked my department people how big i was and they actually told her that she looked no different from me!!! oh dear oh dear... she must be feeling really lousy now. oh well... i hope she doesn't get to see me... just in case she feels worse...

my pregnancy has been the talk of the town of late. can't escape it. kinda like it... but it's not so pleasant when people start giving you unwanted advices or make bad comments. i used to get very anxious and worked up over what they say... but now i just take it with a pinch of salt. i just listen to my doctor. if my doctor says i'm good, i'm good! maybe this is God's way of training me. to learn to trust in Him and rest in Him. it's like, what can i do right even if something goes wrong.... only He is in control.

pram and cot gets delivered tomoro. woohoo!! can't wait to see it and do more baby stuff shopping. tonight hubby's guys will be helping us move some furniture. i wonder how my place is gonna look like from tomoro onwards... our place will definitely look more crammed... but i feel so excited as hubby and i prepare for arrival of baby.. i think the reality of baby ethan has not really hit me till recently...

God is so good. He has provided so much. even the pram and cot, i got a special bonus from work this month. and all went to buying the pram and cot (so you can imagine how expensive those things are). i really hope that one day i can truly know what it is to fully put your trust in the Lord and commit your worries to Him.

some countries that i hope to visit some day...

- alaska - to see the northen lights and eat all the cod and salmon i want... and if i can afford it, take an alaskan cruise...
- japan - to see mt fuji and eat all the marvellous sashimi
- italy - rome, venice, pisa...
- egypt - to see the mighty pyramids, boat around in the nile and collect sand from the sahara
- greece - to experience the culture and maybe find atlantis... haha. of course, who can resist mediterranean food

can anyone else stir up interest in me to go other places?
i'm day dreamin....

{ Tuesday, October 21 }

i can think of at least two conveniences (or burdens) that came into my life which i can no longer live without. i'll be totally lost without it. that of course i'm refering to technologies.

can anyone guess what that is?

it's the handphone and the internet.

feel frustrated when i don't have them. don't you? haha.

it's time to not depend so much on it. move back to stone age. i think people appreciate things more those days...

{ Monday, October 20 }

as the students cheer the end of exams, here i am as busy as ever... not to mention sick as well.

was stuck the whole of last week and half of last last in my tuas office rushing to get the system up for one of the companies. finally it is up and running. hope all the staff involved would cooperate. and today it's one man operation (OMO) for me back in kallang office. boss and colleague A in viet, colleague B on leave.

anyway, nothing's been exciting lately coz after work is pretty much stuck at home. not to mention that i can't remember so many things now due to either tiredness or just being pregnant. it kinda worries me - my absentmindedness.

finally squeezed a little more free time to blog. though i feel the entry is kinda boring. oh well.

and yes, i've been ill... again... zzz...

first it was heart palpitations, which also made me $700 poorer...
then it was heartburn and gastric, which my gals faithfully prayed for me and now i am much better
and now, it's this cough that's been bugging me for abt 3 weeks now

so if you're reading this and praying to the same God as i am, please add in a little prayer for me.

my gynae took a look at my cough last last week. sadly, he prescribed me some antibiotics for bronchitis. i think my lungs must have sounded really bad. yesterday i went to my gp to take another look, rather listen, at my lungs. he said it's ok. so that's relief. though i'm still coughing quite a bit.

now i just started my 3rd trimester... scary........... and the symptoms are catching up! or is there a better word other than symptoms. i'm starting to get sleepy really early. *YAWN*

thank God i've not gotten water retention (well, at least mine isn't that bad) nor leg cramps. phew. i saw a few mega huge tummies last time and i hope i don't get so big.

now my mind is all filled with baby. what to buy, what he'd be like, hoping he'll be healthy and normal and strong at birth, who's gonna take care of him while i go back to work... it's exciting... in a way. much like when i was preparing to get married. day in day out was abt wedding plans.

of course, plans don't come without dreams. dreams... boring people will say goal. haha. you need to know where you want to be then you can plan how you want to get there. true eh?

preparation preparation. all these for a good end. so, the bible says Jesus is coming back again and we're to prepare for the second coming. how have you been preparing? were you even looking forward to that?

this reality show is hilarious. any time better than survivor, though i still think the amazing race is tops.

this group of 10 americans signed up for something they didn't really know about. they were jetted off to tokyo only to find out that they'd be playing in a japanese game show! the things they had to do were so funny. funny outfits, silly games.... hahaha...

catch it 8pm every thursday on channel 5.

hopefully this reality show doesn't turn out to be like survivor where everyone is backstabbing everyone else. such bad values to be aired on international tv. tsk.
