It is nearing...

I am now entering my 33th week. Everyone around me is pretty excited about the arrival of my boy, Ian. My gynae said that Ian will weigh somewhat like Nicole when she was born...a whopping 3.64kg. I am still teaching as per normal and will officially go on maternity leave in mid or last week of Aug.

I did not stock up on baby items like my friends who are getting ready for their first child, probably because Ian is not my first so I am on a more relaxed mode.

I am trying to do as many things I know I cant do after I pop. Catching up with the latest movies at the cinema, going for walks and enjoying sea breeze at ecp, eat my favourite food, catch local production musical 'Into the woods', picnics and flying kite sessions with Dearie and Nicole.

Ok, gotta get back to work now...catch up later...

Sick yet again...hate this feeling...

Just two weeks ago, I saw GP for lung infection...I could hardly breathe right.  My Ventolin inhaler doesn't help at all.  I was put on antibiotics diet for a week.  I thought I will get better but I am wrong...I am coughing badly now.  My phelgm is thick and green and I have a bad sore throat.  Sigh...I guessed the multi-vit my gynae prescribed is pretty heaty.  Still thinking if I should see the doc once again...I have spent so much on medical bills.

Ups and downs in 2011

It hasn't been easy. I have been dead busy ever since the school term begins. My responsibilities at work seemed to have doubled ever since the first-teacher i/c of choir left for a year to do her further studies in Canada.  I am now put overall i/c for choir.  There are many other things I need to settle and do before I go off for long paid leave.  Healthwise, I am not getting any better. The only thing that kept me going is my no. 2 (I am in my 16th week).  I do not know the gender yet...I will only know on 15 April.  It is apparently a tough journey for me ever since I found out that I am pregnant.  Complications like bleeding, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, lung infection...anyway, I just hope everything will be smooth sailing and that both baby and I will be fine.

I hate myself for having to put up with good-for-nothing people like my BIL.  I am still waiting and praying hard for a flat so I can eventually move out.  He was especially rude to me and even raised his voice at me.   Being at home was supposed to be the safest place, but not for me...there was once he sheepishly open my bedroom door and peeked into the room when I was in the room with Nicole and Mark.  Totally uncalled for...I mean why didn't he knock on the door? I got so angry that my privacy was invaded.  When I told MIL what he did, she just brushed it aside and said he could be looking for his brother who was still sleeping by the way.  He could have just knocked on the door and called out his name right? Why must he do it in a perverse manner?  I mean what if I was changing then? He would have seen it all right? Freaks me out totally...  I am telling myself if he ever do so again, I will report to the police immediately.

I just wish the minister holding the portfolio of housing will not stand for election or given the seat in parliament (don't wanna name him here) He has done a terrible job at it and because of him, people who are desperately seeking for a house to live in gotta wait terribly long for a desired flat.

Just my thoughts...

What I am listening now...

Happy Anniversary My Love

This post is specially dedicated to my Dearie.  We celebrated our 6 years anniversary on Monday.  We have been through many ups and downs over the years.  All I can say that after what we have been through together, our love for each other has grown stronger.

Dear, I love you forever, as always...

Our Escapades - Part 5 (Day 2 cont'd)

Day 2 (Continued...)

Having checked with the hotel, we found out an alternative place for spa

cos we think that the spa @ angsana resort was way too expensive

This is a place near Pasar Oleh Oleh

where you will find Martha Tilaar Spa...

We were greeted by polite staff at the door

We chose the milk spa treatment and

was ushered up to the second floor to wait for our room to be ready

Here's Dearie and Nicole

Dearie and I

The fountain outside the spa rooms makes it look more inviting.
 Thumbs up for ambience!

Dearie and I each had our individual spa room
as they were fully booked that evening...

The billboard outside the building

Close up of the billboard

The happy customers

This hawker centre was just opposite the Martha Tilaar Spa
and we just had to have their local food...
the adventurous us decided to try out their local delicacies

Here's Dearie with the chef of this stall

We bought mee goreng back to the hotel for supper
and was surprised to find that it tasted very good.
Tho' this chef looks pretty young, he is sure a good cook!

This was what I had for dinner at the hawker centre
Nasi Padang
Verdict: Nice
Sambal chilli was fantastic!

We ordered their rendition of the roti prata
but our lil girl didn't like it becos of the veg he added into the egg
Nevertheless, we liked it

Here's a close-up of the roti prata with fillings.

Our Escapades - Part 4 (Day 2)

The day  began with passing showers on the island...dampening our moods

Look how heavy the rain was...

Dearie

Look at my dear princess...face sulking big time because of the bad weather!

The weather got better, both Nicole and Dearie made their way to the pool to swim

Finally, the rain stopped.

Happy to be dipping in the pool

So fun, Mummy!

After lunch, we proceeded to the help desk to ask what other activities they offer at Bintan.
They suggested going to Pasar Oleh Oleh and
there were stipulated timings for the bus to come round to pick us up to the place.
