10 more weeks to go!!!

Im very tired la.. everyday jus wanna sleep.. but also happy and excited that Celeste will be arriving soon! :)

Thinking about a lot of things recently.. about future, about finding a roof, about many things.. well.. i think i really need to think hard and plan well..

i start to think of the happy times i had in ocbc and with my adventus sales colleagues.. how i enjoyed my life, work and everything i did. and the days i work hard till wee hours in ocbc and with a loving husband sitting there waiting for me. He was even given permission by my VP to go up to the office after seeing him sitting downstairs for hours waiting for me..

Now, with new priorities in life. i must set things right again.

there are some things i wish to leave behind... and some that i will bring along.. most importantly, a peace of mind, a clear view, a serious goal. drilling down to specific short term goals to achieve a long term goal. so that my goals wont be such a general "statement"...

some pple, some statements, some happenings.. i will just close my eyes and walk by.. i wont wanna see and hear anything that will tear me down. cause i wanna move on and up.

Dino has been standing still for a year. Dino needs to stand back up and walk towards what i dream of. And if i wanna make dreams come true. i have to wake up.

REST is the only task

Yeah, i know.. i need to rest.. but i still got a lot of things for me to complete before i can rest. Now that its almost done. I can finally heed advice and go rest!

Messy month, nope, i didnt MIA. Due to lack of rest, my energy level is super low. Even if i get to sell things on my blog, its alvin who does the mailing for me.. and me? i just have to rest.. cause i need to before things get serious like.. depression!!

I dun dare to rely on pills even thou dr say its safe for pregnancy... cause i still think its not safe.. and when it goes on and on... dino no sleep...

So dino needs to rest now.

More work to be done..

Bazaar was ok, everything went well.. Dino's tired...

Space constrain is giving me a big headache.. in fact, i got temptations of just getting a 2nd hand flat cause.. right now, i feel that im fitting a 3 person living necessities into 1 3-rm flat guest room.. My MIL got ask me if we can get a 2nd hand flat, but i told her about the initial payment la... But actually i think.. im really cramping myself too much le.

Anyway, after gathering all the goods, its time for sterilizing! and... washing.. and sun-tanning my bb clothes... this is more tiring than jus buying lor...

i wish... i wish i can do something abt all these..

Tada!!
Ms Celeste with her OMG, Alamak, Bu yao pai wo pose...
lol..

*btw, gynae was pressing on her nose.. thats why her nose looks... squashy.. lol..

Weighing 961g... Ms Celeste Loh!

Cant wait... 11 more weeks!

Im jus left with confinement stuff to buy...
As for the stroller.. haha.. im putting it on wish list for full mth!!
Lets be realistic.. we dun wanna be getting things that we dont need during bb showers.. So ang baos is definitely the BEST choice. :)

Anyway, i dunno if im able to organise a bb shower for Celeste cause if she decides to pop on the 40th week, her full mth will be on the lunar 7th mth.. if this happens, we will not be having bb shower le.. cause not good to bring bb out during this "season"...

If bb decided to pop a week earlier, then good.. we can go ahead with our plans! Not a major or fanciful one cause i dun wanna tire myself out la.. a simple affair with some close friends and some relatives will do...

Im taking a rest for now... cause have to build up all my energy for my niece's exams.. i cross my fingers and pray very very hard that the lift upgrading will be a swift and silent one.

See, a lot of pple are telling me to relax and dun worry too much about the lift upgrading. I wont worry if i dun have a newborn with me... and im definitely not that sort that will think only when things happen. u can say i think too much, but its better than not thinking. I have to plan and decide on my things everyday. I cannot afford to wait and see what happens.. and i dun have much choice/solutions cause i cant possibly be moving to my mom's place which will cause even more inconvenience. If i have a lot of choices/alternatives, i dun even need to worry.

Whats more.. the lift will be installed right in front of my room.. not a few units away.. its jus in front.

If i bo chap about things.. i tell u.. im a gone case now. After marriage.. ur life evolves arnd answering for ur actions to many people for many things. Why wait until things happen and u have to suddenly change ur decision and make urself unhappy about it?

For this issue, i know what i need to do.. agar agar.. but i jus need to call the town council and ask for the duration of the upgrading before i decide.

After i deliver Celeste, i need to make some adjustments to my life to make it better. I need to untie some knots to make it smoother. But im keeping an open date.. and but i will look look see see and think think.

Shopathon

Im pretty drained.

I need bed rest. But i still got a lot of things havent do.

Forgetful.. Forget handphone, forget this forget that..

I tot my waterbag leak today somemore.. heng ah... shun shun li li ping ping an an...

85% of bb stuff bought. Im officially broke.. lol..

Emo Emo Emo

Yeah, the emo starts to step in again..

Walking into the 3rd tri next week, i can feel that my mood swings are getting too fast and furious.. Maybe also because of the lack of sleep im having now.. things are getting worse..

Its again to the time when i dunno if i will have energy even thou i said to get some things done by a certain time frame.. So now, i try to do things whenever i can...

I havent got a lot of things for bb and i know i need another shopping session with ah lao to get them. There are many questions in my mind and decisions to make..

When shud i get the bb cot delivered?
- MIL say no setting up of furniture in my room when im preg
- Will i have enuff space?
But i need the cot to place the stuff and pack the drawers that comes with the cot...

When shud i start buying the milk bar freezer?
- Cause of hygiene reasons, we need to get one to store milk.
At first i tot i wont be pumping milk, at least for the 1st mth.. but... but... what if i really need to? And with the confinement, can i run arnd to get these stuff?

I have some things that i havent buy.. like.. confinement essentials - pads, da feng cao, disposable panties..

Baby stuff - New set of clothes for discharge, mittens and booties, mattress and bed sheet for cot...

I wrote down a list of things.. theres abt 20 over items i need to get..

Im looking for energy.. Even my walking speed is detolerating lor.. OMG...

Time pass very fast hor..
