There were actually quite a few pictures I want to show you.
Mainly of 捞鱼生 and some Teochew Dishes of the dinner we had at Ah Hoi (Chinatown) where Aunt Lily celebrated her 55th BD and took some money from CPF.
But that Kingston SD card is faulty and I couldn't donwload the pictures.
Now that I'm using this Samsung touch-phone, the photo quality sucks eventhough it is 5 mega pix. It pales in comparison to the old Sony-Ericsson & Casio Exlim (3.2). So ladies and gentlemen, Sony still has the best cybershot phones, trust me.
I hope Sony can come up with a VERY SLIM cybershot phone. I am quite a sucker for everything slim, electronically.
You have not heard from me about the yearly card games at the office.
This is because I won and lost my winnings of $4,000.
You may say that I should have stopped at $4K but you really won't understand. There is never a formular with gambling. Never. It is just a game of chance. That is why you must always only treat it as an entertainment and only play with money you can afford to spare. If not, don't even attempt it. This year, the luckiest banker won $250K & $130K in two seperate sessions. So you can imagine some other players out there have lost that much.
Other than that, I am good.
3 more months to go before baby's due. Yesterday, there was some mild discomfort around the groin (it is not a bad word, it is the body part referring to "the area between the tops of the thighs and the abdomen") and I was quite worried cos it lasted till this morning. Luckily the discomfort subsided. The dummy book i read says that it is common to have some form of slight pain or cramp throughout pregnancy as the uterus is growing from the size of a pear to a melon (or for some people, watermelon. haha). I take comfort in that but we still have to monitor our conditions closely I guess.
Timeline is rather tight for us. Hope, pray that all will be fine.
Still waiting for HDB to approve early release of keys to our new flat.
Hope, pray the contractor we have in mind will do an excellent job in 2 weeks.
Hope, pray the good, experienced maternity aunty will be available for me.
Hope, pray money will be more than enough.
Hope, pray we will have spare cash to get a maid, get a good, honest, reliable maid.
I'm looking forward to all of these, I'm looking forward to my flourished life.
Btw- Ashley, sorry didn't respond to message on facebook... office banned the site.
Yes, I'm excited for you too. Are you having a boy? I dreamt that you named your baby "Trevor". Ha ha. (quick check from wikipedia - Trevor is also a name of Irish origin. It is a reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Treabhair (descendant of Treabhar), a byname meaning "industrious", "tight", or "prudent"). Well, for myself, I have not got an inspiration for my baby's English name yet but her Chinese name will most likely be Qiqi 琦琦. That was like an instinct Brendan got from thin air. =)

No worries abt FB. I think I will write to your gmail account.
And yes, we have decided on a name. But it is not Trevor. Hee hee That's a nice name actually. As for chinese name, we thought of one too. Qiqi is nice.
I do hope that you will be able to move into your new flat soon. I can't imagine having to do house moving at this stage now. Hmmm..Not easy.
Have u tried writing to HDB to ask for an early release of keys? I think it's possible if the your flat is already ready for moving in.
As for the maternity lady, I think you have to start looking for one now (and "book" her) cos it would be too late to look for a good one by the time u are closer to your due date...
Take good care in the meantime and hope, pray that u will have a fast and smooth delivery :)
