Just a month after the Christmas and here comes the Chinese New Year.
This CNY is pretty quiet for me as I opt not to go for any visitations this year also because I do not want relatives to ask me where is my baby.
So I only went to my parent's place and parent's-in-law's place on the first day of new year. We visited my in-laws first and when they left to go for visitations then I adjourned to my parents place.
On the 2nd day, we just stayed at home and watched DVDs. We actually rented 4 DVDs before the CNY...hahaha.
I took leave on the 3rd day and went out for lunch with my Uni fren who came back for CNY from Zurich and at the same time met another Uni fren who is also in town for the CNY from California.
So it was a pretty relaxing CNY for me this year...no stress....less tired and less ang pows to give...hahahaha

How fragile life is....
I chanced upon a particular blog one day (when I was reading another person's blog) and after reading the blog, it makes me really ponder upon the fragility of life.
The blog talks about a young woman who faced life ever so positively after she discovered she had stage 3 cervical cancer. She was quite a high-flier too...becoming a branch manager at age 25 and drove a Saab. She also appeared in an article in the new paper on 4th Jan. Sadly, she passed away on boxing day last year at the age of 30 just 6 months after she was disgnosed with the cancer.
I don't think I will ever be so positive like her since all along I have been quite a pessimist. She never once complained about the pain she gone through with all the radio frequency treatments, chemotherapy and several kidneys and what sort of procedures she had to undergo. In fact, she even made jokes out of them.
It's heartwarming to see her facing life with such energy but alas her life is so short-lived. I know she is with God now, watching over all her friends and family. And I will pray for her family and friends who grieve for their loss.
If you have the time, you can read about her

It's been quite a while....
It's been quite a while since I last blogged about anything.
What has been happening these few months....hmmm.....work is still the same as usual.
The economic crisis seems to be getting worse, many people are getting retrenched.
A couple of my friends have given birth to their 2nd babies.
Tried to have a bbq at my place with my friends but it rained so I had to cook all the food in the kitchen. I am pretty happy that I managed to get all the prawns, sotong, chicken etc cooked in an hour's time. After that we played wii...we played the most stupid games but had great fun.
Had christmas gathering at my in-law's place and we played cluedo...that was an old old boardgame but my first time playing it. Then we opened presents so it was quite fun.
Went for a buffet lunch at the pearl orient palace at suntec. My mum offerred to pay for the lunch to "celebrate" the return of her dentures. Her dentures were out of action for a long 3 months and she really suffered not being able to feast on great food...hahaha.
I am a year older now....and my niece drew me a birthday card impromptu style when I was at my mum's place for dinner a few days before my birthday. That was really sweet of her.
My sister returned from her holiday at HCM and raved about the food there. Maybe I should go there one of these days. I bet she will like cambodian food as well if she were to go to Cambodia.
Last but not least, I am pregnant. When I did the home urine test kit, I couldn't believe it so I did another one just to confirm. Both turned out to be positive. At that moment, I was happy but only for a moment cos' the fear starts creeping in thereafter. I started to think will the same thing happen to me again? Will I lose my baby again?
I know it's not good to have negative thoughts but I guess it's pretty inevitable considering you had the bad experience before. This pregnancy is also pretty bad. Nausea feeling lasts whole day and I feel sick most of the time. Can't get out of bed on a lot of occassions. Walked for a while and I will start to feel sick and out of breath.
Now I can only pray that everything will be fine and I will have a smooth delivery and a healthy baby.
