Yeah... I am finally done with the reports! No more reports! No more feeling guilty for not being able to send the reports! Yeah!! I can finally return all the files!

Anyway, have to step up on my exercises. After the Bangkok trip this weekends, I think I need to go for regular prenatal yoga classes to tone up and build the stamina...

On a side note, koala has been kicking so much more lately. His kicks are getting so much stronger and sometimes he seemed to be aiming at my bladder and that makes me wanna pee with each punch he did! Just yesterday, we could even see him pushing my tummy and making mini 'Kallang Waves'...so funny to see my tummy blobbing up and down...Hope he's doing well inside my tum tum...I can't wait to see him this Thursday when we go for the gynae...He's always hiding his face and back facing us when we did the ultrasound. Hopefully he'll let mummy and daddy see his face on Thursday!

Day 1- 4 of not working...

Alright...I have always been very slow in my responses and reactions towards situations. So this stay-at-home-till-delivery arrangement has not really sunk in much since the start of 2016. Partly also because Pupz took leave on the first 3 days to keep me company, which was very sweet of him.

Yesterday was technically the first day of me being home alone and not stepping out of the house. Cooked myself lunch, cooked dinner for the both of us. Not that bad except that lazy me did not go swimming nor exercise. My cooking skills sucks. I think I can survive on the food that I cooked for myself but to accommodate for Pupz's taste bud, I think it's still a long way to go. Porridge was cooked too early and hence turned out like baby porridge..nua nua one...tomato egg, turned out funny, xiao bai cai turned out alittle hard, though my explanation was it'll be too soft if I cooked it any longer. O well...at least we had a good laugh at it and he still finished his food..hahahahhaa....

As for today, went out to meet an ex-colleague for lunch. Then went home. Started to do abit of chores - vacuuming and mopping the floor, washing and drying the clothes...Felt so much like an aunty...but what to do, since I have the time on hand, might as well slowly pack and clean the house. I dread packing my room...There's so many things to pack away and prepare for Alexander's arrival! Plus I am not the most organized person to begin with. I need to start getting things ready for the little koala...so many things to follow up...and this Sat we have the pre-natal course to attend. Hopefully we'll have fun and not get too traumatized with the visual stuffs on deliver =p

 Gonna go swimming now!

Happy 2016!!!

Have not been writing since August as I was either too busy, too lazy or too tired to do so.

It's bittersweet, crossing from 2015 to 2016.

Bitter because I bid farewell to the kiddos that I have been seeing and my lovely colleagues, making the decision to quit  after 7-8 years of working in the same company. I finally managed to put the guilt aside (as in the responsibility towards my kiddos) and make plan for my family and I. I think I have reached a point where I am done with how the company's management has evolved and I know I can leave the company as I do not want to take any more crap. As much as I used to think I could grow with the company, I realize it is such a naive thought on my part. It is a great environment to be in, with lovely colleagues who are opened minded and supportive. But with employers who are not appreciative of the employees' effort and constantly passing false judgement, it is just disheartening to stay on.  I have finally come to conclusion that it is better that I leave than to stay on, making myself unhappy with things that are not within my control.

Sweet because I have a baby nephew, Andrew, he is sooooo adorable and chubby! His smiles can absolutely melt your heart. Another sweet thing is that I am expecting! Gonna be due in late March/ early April. I cannot wait to see little koala. Now that I can feel him moving and squirming inside me, it is really an amazing feeling! I am glad that hubby is supportive of me taking a break from work. I know it is quite stressful on his part especially financially, I am really grateful to have his support in my decision to quit working for awhile.

Anyhow, I will try to blog more especially on my pregnancy and my random thoughts.
