To help all uncles and aunties, here’s my wish list:
1) Pram/stroller – I have seen some already,so do ask my daddy & mummy
2) Car seat – must fit into daddy’s car
3) Baby sound monitor – for daddy & mummy to hear my cries
4) Baby cot – this is optional since Auntie Joyce is blessing me with a playpen
5) Baby bath tub
6) Infant wear
7) Breast pump – for my hourly dose from mummy
Vouchers, vouchers and more vouchers – it can be from NTUC, Giant, Carrefour since I’m going to need lots of baby wipes, diapers and milk powder.
A BIG Thank You to all uncles and aunties who love me.

Finally,the mystery has been revealed. Daddy & Mummy finally know that I’m a princess.
Though I took a long time for my head to turn and have my measurements taken,I’m still pretty active when other parts of me are being scanned for measurements.
Now,daddy and mummy can finally plan to buy stuff especially GSS is coming. And all Uncles and Aunties, if you have infant wear that can be passed down,I believe my Daddy & Mummy will be super happy.

Lying on bed,tossing and turning,staring at the ceiling. Though my physical body is very tired,I just can’t seem to fall asleep.
The stress at work,the pressure of ministry,the worry over finances,the concern over the ability to provide for baby – all these cause me to break down. Although I knew all these challenges in my mind & heart, it seems clearer to me especially when I’m alone.
With puffy eyes,here I am documenting the thoughts and season of my life. As I wonder and ponder and ask God, I’m reminded of a old song that we used to sing & the chorus goes like that:
And I will go to your secret place
Bow my knees to Your glorious throne
Have Your way in my heart
O Lord, have Your way

Everyone of us have an idea or definition on how a good boss ought to be.
What do you think of a boss who only just keep harping everyday on the volume, number of cases that everyone is doing and asking the subordinates to speak to the contract staff to finish their work & stay back to clear when the surge in daily volume can be > 3 times of normal?
With such a stressful & intense period of promotion, I think we do not need someone who just keep harping behind us & putting unnecessary pressure on us. We are already trying our best to clear as much as possible. With 10 validators vs 3 approvers, what kind of “miracles” does the boss expect us to perform? Even if we camp overnight for one night,there will still be backlog cos’ there’s hundreds of sales staff against a small team of 13 people.
The boss can ask you to stay back and clear cases but yet they don’t stay along. Talk about unity….When u asked if she is joining u to stay back,she can claimed that she’s tired. Aren’t the rest of us tired? We are human beings and not superwomans (my team of approvers are all females).
In difficult times like this, isn’t the boss (who supposedly should be the leader) provide solutions, encourage & strengthen the team,do things together?
Well with bosses like this, I’m sure I probably won’t work for this kind of boss for long… Cos this kind of boss is even thinking of asking me to take 2 mths maternity leave first (depending on the volume at work)..I’m disgusted with this kind of thought.

Just last week, 2 person made a comment, “Oh you have put on weight…” and “You seem rounder now…”
No offence to anyone but such comments have never been associated with me (not that I’m being proud or blowing my trumpet) but to hear it sure isn’t a pleasant feeling.
Ya, I have been gaining weight and it sure show a little on my face…I pray and hope that my pixie face will remain throughout the whole pregnancy.
I guess all of us are vain. These comments make me feel that I’m so not attractive as a woman though I kept telling myself that is only a temporary period and I’m a pretty mummy. It does not help that people are shopping and doning the latest fashion wear on themselves.
I feel fat & no longer as agile as before… Woah,another 5 months before BB is due and another few months for me to get back to my previous shape…That’s the price to pay for now…
