Feelings after a period of absence

Hub was home after a week and it was a pretty long period of absence given that we are used to seeing each other everyday,conversing on the phone ampteen times. I felt different when he was home. More polite towards each other. Hub says coz we didnt hv a built up of 'hatred' over the week. Haha....true sometimes we really need our personal space and being away awhile once in a while may help relieve some of the stress.

It was to the Birdpark on the 17th Jan to get some family bonding with Ashlynn. Ironically we never got shots of the BIRDS. Alittle disappointing coz we felt the birds to be catching up with age and high time they bring in new ones. Ticket prices were soaring high too, just to view 'old birds'.


CNY is on Mon, goodies have been brought in. Though there is this weird side of me that the sights of the tidbits turn me off now. Only when the festival is over will I crave for some sinful pineapple tarts.


Sch term has come to a closure for me now till after I pop and return in June. Pregnancy has been fabulous so far, though the tummy has revealed itself suddenly over the span of the last mth. Weight slowly increasing. its 56kg now.....only when we are ballooning graceful do we openly spill out our most sacred number.


To a good ox year

Thoughts..during sickness

Yesterday was the worst Sunday I put myself through. I was a 'Merlion' the moment I woke and the world was spinning soon later. It was to the doc in the afternoon and I'm down with food poisoning cum gastric flu. Hub was good to take care of Ashlynn while I was immobile. I never thought I would get food poisoning ,just by eating 'pig intestines'. I've eaten that countless times and given the dirty stuff I eat during our backpack trips. I thought I had a dirty tummy by nature. I could only pray to god and wish for energy to return. Ashlynn was having a running nose too,she hasnt been eating well. Thanx to mum who took care of her for the nite while Hub and me returned home to hibernate. Hub is down with gastric flu too...can you imagine 2 buffaloes who usually would be well and jumpy but suddenly collapsing into a stumper in seperate rooms in case the reinfect each other. What a sight!
As I toss in bed to sleep I pray that hub recovers, Ashlynn sleeps well at mum's and I get myself up and going soon.
Was telling hub if anything happens I've always felt loved in different ways and have loved him much too. He usually gives hugs in return and tells me to sleep. I guess he knows medicine makes a person have morbit thoughts.
What has cheered me up and brought tears of happiness is the union of my dear fren Geraldine with her soulmate Brian. We were not that close during school days but as ppl grow older they find frenship again and reunderstand each other. I guess that's what's happening to us. Truly happy for her.

Still cant believe it

Being in the academic line a new year begins for me when school reopens and this 2009 school reopens on the 5th Jan. And that kind of sets me into the reality that 2008 is GONE!!!!
Its going to be a short 3 weeks of school before it closes for the long break----10 weeks!! To readers it means no work no $$$. Got to save save save and maybe ask for donation from readers haha...that's so evil.
I need to plan out exactly how I'm going to spend the 10 weeks, not going to waste it. I remember my schools holidays were spent mugging no time wasted. And I guess I never regretted not wilding my time away. Any suggestions my dear readers??
I've a few things lined up already 1) Aussie trip, 2) Exe with Ashlynn, 3)Taking up piano lessons again, 4) Brush up on photography
These are really secondary to the daily tasks of caring for myself, Ashlynn, having time for hub, making time for extended family.
Juggling....thats what we all do. I feel like a clown haha.
