Last Day of 2008

2008 seems to pass by very fast. Maybe is because of alot events happening during the year. So what had happened during the last 355 days?

- after 1 year plus of searching and viewing flats, hubby and me finally found our flat in March

- had our traditional wedding and dinner in mid may

- started my new life living with my in-laws

- got our keys to the new flat in early july

- discovered that i am pregnant in end august

- started renovating the house in sept (but till now still unfinished. left the carpentry works)

- attended sis's rom in mid sept, so happy for her

- as per hubby's wish, bb is a boy!

- shopping for new flat's lighting, sanitary wares, sofas etc is not fun at all!

So what is there to look for next year for me? I suppose most of the time it will evolve around bb. Going for pre-natal classes, more check-ups and finally the birth of bb in end april. Haha. Other than bb, there is another thing we are looking forward. That is moving and living in our new flat. Hopefully my carpenter can speed up the construction of the furniture then we can have our house warming and bb's 满月 together, 一举两得.

Last but not least,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hope next year will be better!

The Hero Factory

Got this link from San'd blog. Very funny. You all should try it too. After numerous attempt to download the picture. here is my type of heroine. Haha! Pretty?

Onisuka Tiger + Tokidoki

This is a new collaboration between Onisuka Tiger and Tokidoki for Spring 2009. Are they cute? They are on pre-order now at shops till 28th Dec and retailing at S$199. Abit steep on the price though. There is also the pink and white version. Sis is contemplating to get the black pair. She already own 2 pairs of Onisuka Tiger shoes! I also like the shape and design of the shoe. But will it be too kiddish to wear them on a going to be 30 year old's feet?

Pregnancy Week 20

Went for my routine check-up last Sat and had detailed scanning. The Doctor checked every organ of bb to ensure everything was ok. There is just one finding. It was a white spot on the left side of bb's heart. The spot is nothing serious but it increases the probability of bb being down syndrome. My probability now is 1:344 and the cut off probability for "抽洋水" is 1:250. Therefore it is neither here nor there. So Doctor asked us to consider whether to do it or not as the test will be a definite answer whether bb will have genetic problems. Hubby does not want bb and me to do it as he thinks bb will be ok and there is a 1% risk of having miscarriage.

Apart from the above, we were also being told and shown the sex of bb. *drum rolls* is a HE! Hubby was so smug about it and he has this "i told you so" look on his face. Haha! Previously he keep telling me that bb definitely is a boy and occasionally he will look at my tummy and say "bb boy". So his prediction is true. Hehe!

We were also told by Doctor that I will start be feel some movements of bb and these few days I can feel some fluttering movements in the tummy! Soon, I will be feeling the actual punches and kicks from bb because he is a active boy! That is what the Doctor says whenever we are doing the scanning.

Reading

This novel made me cry! First time I read a novel that had my tears flowing down enough to fill a small bucket.

A friend introduced me to this author and this is the second book I have read from her. But this one is great! Kept me on the toes and wanting to finish to get to the ending. However the ending was something unexpected. That explains for the tears. Hubby still laughed at me and called me silly for crying over a novel.

Now I am moving to her next novel called "Vanishing Acts". Looks not bad too.
