Going to Phuket!!

Whahaha *insert evil laugh here*

Heehee.. wondering why I'm so happy? Well, I am going to Phuket!! Whahaha... i just can't stand it! I'm just so happy with this news that I practically eat, sleep and breathe hugging this piece of fantastic news to myself!

Ok.. let me slow down and tell you the whole story.

Long before I was pregnant, there were plans for us to go Phuket for a holiday. Again, its a riding trip, and although it started small, it ended up getting a good response. It wasnt long before we (or hubby rather) managed to gather about 20 enthusiasts!

Later on, we found out I was pregnant! There goes my hope and although I was very unhappy, I decided to let it go for the baby's sake.

The rooms were subsequently booked and I could only look on in envy. What's more distressing is that hubby was gonna be away for 8 long days while I could just mope around at home.

Sometime over the last two weeks, one of the participants decided to back out in the lst minute, And the participant is supposed to have been my hubby;s roomate in Phuket. Later that same week, we also had a visit to the gynae. Let me quote what he told us.. "Ok nw is the honeymoon period. Your pregnancy's stable and you've come to the stage where there is minimal chances for complications. So you can even go for a second honeymoon if you want.."

Need we say more? Hubby and I looked at each other, both of us thinking, "Is this a sign??"

Hahaa!! Without giving me a chance, hubby quickly asked the doctor for a letter to book the flight tickets!!

So there it is.. two days later, my flight tickets are booked. And I am going to be on my way to Phuket in less than a week's time!!

So this Good Friday, I am going to be busy packing our bags. Hubby's gonan begin his 8-12 hr ride to Hatyai on Sunday night. Resting there for one night before continuing his journey on Tuesday morning to Phuket! I will see you there hubby sayang!!

So gals .. I will tell you the story on the trip when I return next weekend ok! Excuse me while I continue my day-dreaming... Oops! In office  now, got to go back to work! Heehee!!

Hihi..

Hubby has gone Shanghai for his union trip since Sat morning, and it these 4 days has been LOOONG..... and not to mention so lonely. Its been a year or so since we were last separated for more than a day. The last time was when he had to go back to Malaysia for further treatment for his broken arm, whereas I had to return back to work.

But.. he's coming back today! I am definitely rushing home after work tonight. Gonna whip up a meal (poor hubby has ulcers and running nose due to the cold weather there). Something soupy, hot and healthy! Gonna bathe and welcoem him with arms wide open once I hear his footsteps outside the door (I am sounding so Hindustan movie like.. hahah!!)

I was telling a friend the other day that I am so lucky that hubby works shift. So I can simply pretend these past few nights that hubby is doing night shift. I can only imagine the loneliness if it were otherwise. Yesterday though.. I was close to tears when the the whole day passed without nary a phonecall or sms from hubby. Worried? Yes! Lonesome? Yes! In need of tender loving care? Yes, yes, yes!!!

But just as I was falling asleep the anonymous number of an overseas call flashed on my mobile. Yeay! The call!! You see.. that's how dependent I am on him. Days can pass without seeing hubby dearie (well not really.. it really is on the edge of unbearable) but a day without talking to him and I wilt like a flower that has not seen the sun.

This weekend, hubby again got to go for an overnight 'camp'. That leaves my weekend empty with no plans. Luckily I have the kids, my beloved nephews, who never fails to cheer me up.

But then again, hubby is leading a riding group up to Phuket for 8 very long (longer than forever) days! I was supposed to join him for this trip. We were partners in crime.. exploring the best bargains, the beautiful beach and long ride home during our trips to Koh Samui. And yet, for this first trip to Phuket, I am unable to go...!! Too bad that plans has been made, tickets bought and hotels booked. He's also leading another 15 or so motorcycles, so he cannot don't go.  So that leaves me at home again, pining for my other half. Haiyz.. the injustice of it all!

Well, lets not think of all that for now. I should instead look forward to his return today. For again, I will be able to sleep peacefully with him by my side. And gain, I can let my frustrations out to someone who understands that my nagging is a way for me to vent. i have my hubby with me for tonight. And for now, that is all I ask.

Pregnant at 4 months

Horrors!

I found out to my dismay last week that I can't fit into most of my pants. There's also a few shirts that I can no longer wear. Haiyz.. I can practically see my money fly away at the the moment. Thank God I have alwyas preferred loose clothings. And being big, I also tend to show lesser than all those skinny mommies.

Jillian dragged me to Suntec last Thursday. Finally gave in and bought myself two blouses and a skirt. Goodness, I didn't know maternity wear could cost so much! I'd so much rather spend my money on buying those cute stuff they have for newborns. But yes, it's still way too early. Just the 3 pieces of clothing itself set me back close to $170!!

Work has been unbearable. At this moment, i dread coming to work daily only to see the piles of papers on my table. If previously, I get satisfaction from clearing those, nowadays, I feel that I'm only doing it because I have to. I can only imagine the heavy feeling I'll get coming back to work after my maternity leave.

Thse days, the only days I look forward to are my dates with Dr. Ang. The days I can see my baby and hear its heartbeat beating so fast. It's as though he/she is also nervous at meeting me and counting down the days impatiently. Patience my little one, we still have so many months to go - 5 to be exact. I've not had enough of being pregnant. I'm still waiting for your kicks and the experience of bringing u into my world.

My tummy has started to show. To me at least. Its also funny that I realise now the presence of so many pregnant woman around me. Never could I step up of the house without seeing another pregnant woman on the streets. Even hubby has taken on a new favourtite sentence, "Eh, pregnant woman lagik!". Heehee..!

Basically, we've already planned to sign up for a package with this gynae from Thomson Medical. Conseidering taking up pre-natal massage to help me with my forever aching back. Heard from a friend that they have packages for that too. Maybe after the 7th month, I will start preparing my baby's room and etc. Still so much things for me to learn. Haven't had the time to visit the library to get reference books. So far I've only been reading up online. Those forums can be of so much help!

Ok.. that's all for today. I'll try posting a pic of myself at 4 months pregnant. But don't look out for it.. heehee. Haven't been downloading photos on for the longest time. Don't know when I will ever feel up to it. Sorry ppl!
