Week 16
Went to gynae with hubby last Saturday for routine checkup.
Everything is well... the scan to see the baby's gender is not clear because the little one is facing inside, and refused to turn. Prolly sleeping soundly cause even the doctor tried to shake it still don't turn at all.
Told everyone how lepak/relax the little one inside is.
I love to see the ultrasound scan of the little one! So cute and amazing!
After gynae, we went to baby expo fair.. bought some clothes..
The next day, went baby superstore at khaki bukit.
Bought baby's pram and baby cot already. Costs us almost 800bucks for this 2 items.
A little kiasu to buy so early... but I don't wanna to go shopping for bulky items when my tummy gets bigger in time to come..
So I'm into my 2nd trimester already. So fast!
Not much craving. Just that I tend to want to eat hot and soupy food, and drink cold water( but trying to reduce as my mum said it's not good). Yes, and always want to eat fried chicken/fast food. But agakm, hubby will try to comtrol me as it's unhealthy to keep eating. I still do eat maybe twice a month or something. :)
Ok, pregnancy update aside.
Hubby went for 3 days outstation to Thailand this afternoon.
Felt so empty without him tonight.
Been a long time since he's away for work!
So used to having him by my side 24/7.
I may look strong, but I still do teared when I'm alone in the room. Whenever I think of him.

Week 11
Missed periods. Sored breasts. Nausea. Change in appetite.
Suspected I was pregnant. Bought Watson's pregnancy test kit.
Results : 2 very obvious dark red lines
Delayed going to the doctor, as hubby and I were going for our honeymoon + road trip with friends to desaru.
After which, appointment was delayed for 1week due to Dr Tan on leave.
Finally today we managed to confirm our pregnancy.
Dr tan did a scan for me, when I see the head, hands, legs, body appeared on the screen, my first reactions was:
'oh shit. For real?! This living thing is inside my womb!! Can't really believe I'm carrying a living thing in me!!!'
Dr tan even let us hear the baby's heartbeat!
So, right now, I'm ending my 1st trimester soon.
Gonna embrace the remaining pregnancy journey(6 months left) together with hubby.
So many more decisions ahead!
For myself, luckily I did not experienced morning sickness whereby I will vomit. Just slight nausea on and off.
Appetite changed totally.
Used to love cuttlefish/sotongs/squid, now no feel to have those!
Used to hate meatballs, but now crave for meatballs!
Must have cold drinks always, especially in the morning. (But will try to limit myself as it's unhealthy)
All my food intake, I will need chilli suace depending on what at I eat (chilli padi, garlic chilli, thai sweet chilli, shrimp paste chilli, sambal chilli). I used to avoid having chilli with my food cause I'm afraid of pimples popping, now I can't be bothered because without chilli I ji tao is don't want eat.
So far so good for this pregnancy.

Cherish your loved ones
& I can't believe that 2014 is coming to an end.
So much had happened in the first half of 2014.
Well, at least it made me learnt to cherish everyone around me that truly cares even more.
Now I finally understood what they always meant by 'Learn to cherish before it's gone'.
March 2014
We went down to HDB on the 30th March for our 2nd HDB appointment to pay the first 5% downpayment for our little punggol BTO flat. & yes, our HLE got approved. So so damn happy ya. Till we meet in end 2016/early 2017.
May 2014
Was out to Chinatown with Bf, and mum for dim sum breakfast. Was happily chatting, eating and when finace and I took a bus back to bedok.. Suddenly I received a call from my dad. Knew something was not right, as he won't call me early in the morning since he has work and it is RARE that he calls me at such timing.
So... I picked up the phone and the news was very saddening.... '阿公死了' .
Sighs. Mood immediately went down. And, it didn't helped that finace is going off for work the next day. Double sad :( :( :(
Rushed down to Toa Payoh, where the wake was held. Stayed there throughout the whole wake.
Slept beside the coffin on the last night. Yes, I dared to, and didn't fear of anything prob because he and my grandma is the one who took care of me was I was a baby till about 12 years old. He makes a great chef, always cooking delicious food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I always had hearty breakfast when I wake up on days when I have no school. Sometimes he would packet fishball noodle, sometimes he pan-fried png kueh(which I MISS so much! :( Didn't get to eat for the longest time ever... Those selling outside ones were not even comparable to his), sometimes fried nian gao, etc etc... Those very yummy food that only oldies know.
Anyway, I hope he is in a better place looking after us(although the family is very messy).
On a brighter side, at least he passed away peacefully in his sleep. According to my grandma, they woke up to see him passed away in his sleep, and his face was very beautiful with his eyes fully close, and mouth fully close. He is 89 years old this year, and was bedridden for almost 2/3years, and tube feeding for 2years++... Luckily, he is not in any agony prior to his death. ^^
Some info for my keepsake.
He passed away on the 25th May 2014. Ashes at GMS N1 No. 89
His birthday: Chinese 四月二七日 every year
His big house number : 8927
I did teared a lot. Especially when I am bathing / about to go to bed. The first day of the wake, I feel very terrible... I teared at the wake, just by looking at his photo/coffin. I teared when I'm bathing. I teared when I'm sleeping and when I wake up from my sleep.
I couldn't take it, I feel regretful of not going down to visit him and grandma more often last time.(what to do, I have a very veryyy broken family) He dotes and cares for me a lot. I feel I have a lot to return back to him, but there's no way I can do so anymore in real life. I still feels a little regret in life over this till date. :(
He is the best grandparent that I have. None other can be comparable to him.
So far I dreamt of him twice. 1 was during the first week of his death(there were my grandma, him and myself, and a maid... We went out together by taking the MRT. He stayed in my dreams for like 5 -10mins?), and the other one was somewhere in end september(it was at the toa payoh house, most of the family members were there. I remembered in the dreams he was happily telling us his house, and telling me he has got a lot of pimples then put his face towards me and showed me. Then he was happily eating chicken drumstick. He stayed in my dreams for like 15-30mins?). Both are happy dreams, prob he misses me and just came back to visit me? Yes, I miss you ah gong! I pray for you always that you will be happier up there, and blessed us with happiness, pink health. :D
Hope I will be there for all his praying session at GMS. So far for all his 头七,三七,五七,七七, 一百天 , I was there. :) And, the night before his 头七, all the family members gathered at toa payoh because the adults said it's 'his last day' before he goes up...So, it's better to go there so he gets to see everyone the last time or some sort like that. The adults were playing MJ overnight, younger bro and me was sleeping next to my grandma. I guess he must be feeling very happy that his most dote grandson(my elder bro,myself, and my younger bro) was there for all. All his son/son-in-law was also there for first 4 session too. That means a lot to him cause he seldom sees all his sons gather together. :) So yeah, I hope next year will be like this too.
I will always remember the things he have done for me since young.
- Fetch me to and from school by WALKING long distance, up and down the slope to reach my school. He would carry my school bag for me. <3 Is either him or my grandma would walk me to/from school when I was in lower primary.
- Cooks the most simple yet delicious food every time. Kinda miss his cooking for the longest time ever, but there's no way to eat his cooking anymore. Especially his cabbage rice, ba zhang(yeah, he wrap his own ba zhang every single year last time without fail). Everyone in the family compliment his cooking. Even my fiance said his cooking is yummy too!(Lucky he gets to eat my grandpa cooking!)
- Always ensure that I have sufficient money to eat in school last time. &passing me 80/100bucks for CNY (FYI, only my elder bro and myself got it) The rest don't even have. :D This shows he dotes on us the most right.
You will always be remembered by me. I will always remember to visit you every year!
My #1 and only ah gong in my whole life! <3
Sometimes when I think of you/telling my fiance about you appearing in my dreams, I still do tear a little.
June 2014
Mum's side grandma passed away. yeah, that makes the 2nd funeral for 2014.
As usual, attended the wake for 5 days....
Wasn't close at all to mum's side one.
But prior to her death, she was in agony and wasn't eating/drinking much.
No much feeling for this one thou. No dreams, no crying, no memories.You're still my po po. You're definitely in a better place! :D

24th birthday
Let me penned down some thoughts before I head to bed.
In few more hours, I will be turning 24th...
Time really flies... I'm almost reaching my mid-20s already.
Same as past years.. I do not have fanciful/big party..
I'm a simple plain girl just like this..
I'm very blessed to have my dad to wish me happy birthday(and pass me money..) Although I am not living with him for 10years plus alr, but he still makes an effort to come down to look for me..
Truly blessed and touched.
Although fiance is not able to be here to accompany me for my birthday, I am just happy that he wishes me happy birthday through phone call... Yes, he did apologize that he couldn't celebrate for me(like last year also he went onboard..), and said everyday he can celebrate my birthday for me... Haha.. Aiyo, there's nth to be sorry about! You are away for work, I understand... :) at least now u made the effort to make me happier! Thank you baby! <3
And tomorrow(on my actual birthday), I will be having dinner with my mum!!
Couldn't ask for more for these important people in my life... I do not need to have big party specially on my birthday.. Everyday feels like it is my birthday with you all around..

Goodbye 2013; Welcome 2014!
Although we didn't have anything like staying up late to count down/party... I am still happy to be able to spend time like these with him!
&Yes! 7days into 2014...
So far everything is smooth and good! Hope it stays like this~
Wishing everyone a good year ahead with abundance of joys and stay healthy!
6th Jan 2014
We went for our very first HDB appointment at Toa Payoh HDB Hub!
Thank goodness everything went well, and we selected our units! :D Mad happy!
Those who are close, will know that we are actually very worried that we couldn't get a hdb flat because of fiance's income... We are so close to the income ceiling, so I didn't continue to job hunt after I resigned from SilkAir, and I requested fiance to work lesser in order to meet the income ceiling of 10k! :)
Phew~ Luckily they weren't that strict either!
So for now... We will need to apply for HDB loan(Cross fingers they want to lend us), and to wait for our 2nd appointment for signing of lease agreement.
We can only collect our keys in February 2018! We still have a good 4 years more to stay over at each other's crib before we can have a home to call our own!
I can't wait!
We didn't opt for any optional component scheme at all because they aren't flexible with it. For instance, there's a component for the bedrooms door which I don't mind, but sanitary fittings(basins and shower heads) is packaged in together for this component which I don't like.
So I predict a lot of money will be pumped in for renovations work! Hopefully by 4years time, we are able to save a lot!

Last weekend for 2013
Had a very fabulous December this year.
The fiance is around for the festive season, and I definitely am overjoyed!
Christmas eve was spent going to sim lim(to get stuff for his bro's computer), and headed to marina bay sands(again) to collect my cartier watch which I sent for repair. It's a super old watch which my mum bought it in her 20s, and after she gave birth, she didn't wear it, and now she decided to pass it to me. So, I got it repair so I can wear it! :)
The repair + new strap costs SGD600. Repair:SGD290, Strap: SGD310.
It is not cheap, but the transformation from old --> new is very very amazing! (no photos taken, cause it totally slipped my mind to take the before repair photo) hehe.
Thanks my beloved fiance for paying for me! Truly appreciated. ^^
After which, we headed for some ice cream treat at haagen daz!
Ordered to share as we are still full from our dinner.
X'mas day itself was spent lazing at le fiance's house! Then headed to dinner at Parkway Parade before heading home. hehe!
That sums up our simple x'mas we had this year. And, we are happy just like that! :D
The last weekend for 2013 was well spent with fiance as well.
Stayed over for the weekend at his crib.
We had a super impromptu decision to head to Chinatown when we are at the bus stop waiting for bus to bedok point/mall for dinner and walk about.
Boyfriend randomly suggested we take CT18 if it is still in operations, and ta-dah! It really came, and he said he super long never go Chinatown liao... So, we quickly went opposite(cause we are at the direction that all buses are heading to bedok interchange) to take the bus down to Chinatown.
Alighted. Walked around. Dinner at the food center at Chinatown. Walked around. Took bus back.
The next day see us lazing around again till dinner time, before we head out for food. Decided on east coast big splash - Brussels Sprouts.
Luckily we reached early, and there's still outside seating available for us(can see the sea from far...) ^^
However, photos are not well taken due to the poor lighting! :(
Is either I change my phone to better phone(but I super like keypad phone... that's why I am stuck on my 2nd blackberry phone till now... or I bring my camera out everywhere I go next time...
Can't wait to spend the last day of 2013 and first day of 2014 with fiance!
Gotta be gooood~
Love,
Fiona.

Lonely Sunday
The fiance had went to work in the morning at 6-ish.
Hopefully it's just a 2-3 days job and he will be back before Christmas!*prays and hope*
Feels so weird not seeing him on a Sunday...
He's been based to work locally for around 6months already.
Thus, have been spending quality time with him every weekend, whenever possible.
Our lazing moments together on bed till late before we gets up for brunch/lunch and then goes back to laze again after our brunch/lunch(if we are just going down to the nearby food market to eat)...
I often said to him, "Baby, you keep sleep and sleep...." Then he will reply me: "Sunday = lazy day. Meant to sleep and sleep one." Ok lorr.... *Wins* ...
Anyway, made breakfast(Half-boiled egg, milk tea, and croissant bought from Giant yesterday! ) for him today before he goes to western anchorage for his job on L.champion.
Fell in love with the milk tea! Find it not too sweet and milky for my liking! *Thumbs up*
Searched almost all supermarket(Ntuc, cold storage, giant) but didn't see this brand. :(
Can't wait for our humble little home so it will be easier for both of us... (without having to come to and fro bedok and sengkang)
Yes! Speaking of that. Our appointment to select a hdb unit will be on 6th Jan 2014!
Hopefully everything goes smoothly, then we will have to wait again till probably end 2018 to get possession of keys. So that means another 5more years before we can have a place to call our home!
yesss... it's stillll a longggggg way to go.. :(
