Hi I'm back!
So my previous post I was talking about my pregnancy. Thinking back, I think i enjoy my pregnancy alot!
Of course I do have some bad times during my pregnancy like...
- I usually skip eating at food court or hawker centre or restaurant with strong food smell. You know like the aroma of different food cooking together. I just cannot stand the smell.
- Morning sickness. Very common. I feel like puking every time I wake up from sleep. So I usually keep a packet of plain biscuit at my bed side. It helps a lot!
- Leg cramp in the middle of my sleep. And it always happen during midnight when hubby and I is in deep sleep. The cramp can take quite awhile, so sometimes I can't bear the pain and I scream. Poor hubby gotta wake up and massage my leg to ease the cramp.
- Always wanting to go toilet. I hate this the most, need to find toilet everywhere I go!
Other than that, I think there is nothing bad about pregnancy. Because when one is pregnant, everyone treat you like a queen!
I always have sudden craving for certain food throughout my pregnancy. Like durians, but it's not even the durian season yet my parent have to search high and low for it. And once I was craving for dim sum in the middle of the night, so my sister and hubby travel to geylang with me for the 126 dim sum. After dim sum, everyone was full. But I still got craving for soya bean curd, soya bean milk and 油条. So again, we went to have our 2nd round of supper. That was one crazy night!
And I also have this strong craving for seafood, sushi and sashimi. These 3 are my favourite food,but during my pregnancy,I crave for these food almost every day! I was told that preggie cannot eat too much seafood and cold raw stuff. Sometimes, hubby do bring me out to satisfy my craving. Oysters, cockles, stingray, sashimi...etc. Ate all these secretly, but of course I do control myself and will not over eat those food that I am not suppose to eat.
I'm a very happy pregnant lady I can say. Everyone care and love me so much. But sometimes, one can get super emotional during pregnancy. Yes, I am one of them. I just love crying during my pregnancy. Couldn't control my emotions.
Day by day, my bump get bigger and bigger. Sometimes I go for the checkup myself, sometimes hubby will take leave and go with me. I can go for checkup myself, I'm fine with it, independent. And I am always looking forward to check up and scans. Happy to know that baby is healthy. I remember the first time I hear Mikaela's heartbeat, my first scan, the first movement, I was tearing! Moment like this, I bet all the other mummies will always remember.
So the bump get bigger, stretch mark will appear, and it will feel super itchy. Yes because it is stretching. Mums-to-be out there, or those who are planning to have a child,remember to buy stretch mark cream and do not scratch even when it's itchy! Must maintain, so we need to bear with it!
One last thing I must say, weight gain is normal during pregnancy. Some may find it scary and feel unhappy about it. Don't worrry, you ain't getting fat, your baby is inside you! As long as you have a healthy lifestyle,do not over eat, eat healthily, everything will be fine! Some gain more, some gain less. I guess it depends on individual, because it's base on your height and weight. When you are healthy, happy, and your pregnancy weight gain is within the healthy range, all is good!
See, it's not so bad being pregnant. Having a happy pregnancy is important. You do not want to feel moody and sad all the time and affect your baby.
Mums-to-be, enjoy your pregnancy, you will miss it. I am definitely missing mine already!
Goodnight!

Update update!
So, nothing much happen these few days. Most of the time I am at home, so that i can accompany my grandma.
Time flies, Mikaela is 15 months+ now. And this month mark 2 years since I quit smoking. The motherly love is amazing. I was once a heavy smoker,but I quit when I know that I'm pregnant. Where did my motivation come from? From my daughter, Mikaela. (:
Everytime I feel like smoking, I think of her, and I know I must not go back to smoking again. I want my daughter to live in a healthy and smoke free environment!
Talking about pregnancy...
2 years ago I was pregnant. I quit smoking immediately, and of course I have to stop drinking. Those who know me, they know, I just love to drink.
How do I know that I am pregnant?
I believe every mother or mother-to-be should know all the symptoms of pregnancy. So here's mine:
1) missed period
2) feeling tired very easily
3) weird appetite (craving for the same food everyday,so I ate the same food for 1 whole week)
Everyone got different symptoms, some even got morning sickness. I do have morning sickness, but it only came when I was 2 - 3 months pregnant.
Some mummy will experience morning sickness throughout their pregnancy. I am consider the lucky one, my morning sickness is not that serious. And it only last for around 4 - 5 months.
Here's some tips to make yourself feel better when you got morning sickness. (of course I tried all these method myself and it works)
1) Always bring along a small packet of sour plum with you.
2) Ginger tea. Grate ginger into hot boiling water.
3) Munch on some dry plain biscuits.
Getting very sleepy already...think I shall continue the topic on pregnancy on my next update.
Goodnight!

Update before I head to bed!
So, few days back I saw this tv talk show about love. They are covering on different young people relationship.
Some are really touching, but some are plain bullshit. Bullshit because some of them are really young!
Anyway, when I think back on my past relationship...I just have to say, it's just like a drama.
Take me 2 years to realize my husband is always there for me. And I already fall for him 2 years back. But because of one bad relationship of mine, everything turn upside down.
I guess i will never ever forget what happen. No, it's just that the scar is too deep. Some of you might guess it right. The guy cheat on me. Not once,not twice, but more than 5 times he lied. I put all my heart into the relationship, I wanted it to last, but turn out it is all a lie.
After that I got into a mild depression. I didn't talk to anyone,not even my family cause I don't want them to worry. I lock myself in the room crying every night till morning I have to stop and prepare for work. There is once, I was on the phone with the guy who cheated on me, quarrel of course. I was crossing the road, I knew the car was coming but I just cross it, the car honk at me loudly and I somehow "woke up". I was shivering, it was so close i could have die. But at that moment I knew I have to stop all this shit I am doing to myself.
Talked to my mum and my close friend about it. Hubby is one of them that is always there for me. He's there for me even before I got into the bad relationship. I missed him once, so when we got really close, I don't wanna miss this chance. I want to be with him.
So what is love to me.
Love is my husband. He is always there for me. When I am down, when I am rejected, when I'm insulted, when people don't agree on our relationship. He sacrifice, because he want to be with me.
All I want to say is...I love my husband, we have goals and dreams, I hope we can achieve all of it one day. (:
Was really inspired to blog when I hear this song earlier. Love the melody, the lyrics and of course the 2 singer.

I'm back to update my blog again!
Had a super bad lower backache today. It's always the same problem. Some days I am totally fine, some days my lower back pain will come after me.
Got this after I gave birth to Mikaela. I wanted the best for her. So,I did almost everything myself during my confinement period. I do follow the rules like drinking red date tea, no shower, no cold drinks, less contact with water (during my confinement,my mum help me with Mikaela's bath time) and some other rules. But the only thing I neglect is resting. I do not have enough rest after pregnancy. I guess this is why my backache is worst than last time.
Well, I do not dare to say I am the best mum in the world. But I can say,I am trying my best in everything. The moment I decide to give birth to a new life, I know I have to be responsible. I know I am still young, but to be responsible, I just have to sacrifice some things. Yes, that is freedom.
I don't see why some just give birth and throw the child to their parent or grandparent to look after. If it's due to working, I can understand. But if it's just because they want to go out clubbing all night, I say this is too much. The child need their mother. Is it that hard to understand that your child need you?
Mikaela is 14 months old. I tried working part time and full time. Being a working mum for like half year and I stop working 3 months ago. Due to some problem at home, I have to be a stay home mum. I have no regrets, I get to stay by Mikaela's side and watch her grow. But the only regret I have is I stop breast feeding too fast. I give up after 3 months. I hope when I have a 2nd child, I can breast feed a longer time and don't give up so easily! To all mummies out there, don't forget breast milk is the best for your baby!
Hope hubby can give me a back massage later! Goodnight!

Hello I'm back again!
My little girl is asleep.
I just had my bath and it's my "me time". Most of the time when it's my bath time,hubby will take care of Mikaela. And almost everyday after I had my shower, my girl is sleeping soundly already.
So what do I do during my "me time"?
As a stay home mum, my only entertainment is my ipad. Most of the time I can only use my ipad at night. From morning,afternoon,night,till Mikaela is asleep, I hardly got time to relax on the couch and use my ipad.
My ipad is a Christmas gift from daddy.
With this ipad, I don't have to use my laptop which I always have to "snatch" it from my hubby.
So, these few days I've been staying at home. Because the past 1 week, my daughter is unwell. She caught HFMD, most probably she got it from the indoor playground.
For the first few days, I didnt sleep well. Mikaela's fever got as high as 39 degree. I was so worried that I can't sleep and just stay by her side, also ensure that she take her medicine on time. After that, the red spots came. All over her trunk area, feet, arms, hand,and neck area. Follow by ulcers in her mouth. She totally have no appetite to eat or drink, and cannot even sleep well at night because of the fever. But thank God, her fever subside kinda fast.
But now, Mikaela is recovering well. Fever gone,ulcers gone,and the red spots are almost gone too! Thank God for everything. Amen!
When Mikaela is fully recover, we can bring her out again! For the time being, I just have to accompany her more often...that means more play time with her. She is so sticky nowadays,especially when she fall sick, I have to carry her most of the time. This is what I call 母爱. When the child is sick, she need her mother the most.
But on the other hand, I am afraid that I spoilt her. Sometimes, I just need to be strict and 不可以心软.
Gotta catch up with my Taiwan drama. I am addicted to this drama - Ti Amo Chocolate. The main lead are Van Ness Wu and Joanna Zeng. It's a great combination. I'm a fan of both!
Shall end here. Goodnight peeps!

Hello everybody!
It's been so long....so long. I miss blogging. But I've been so busy for the past 1 year.
Why am I back now?
Because I miss this little space of my mine, I will try to update more often!
So, most of my friends know I am married and I have a daughter now. For those who don't know,now you know. I'm married for 1 year plus, 4 more months to my 2nd year. And I have a lovely daughter, her name is Mikaela and she is 14 months old.
One of the reason that I decide to come back to blogging is because I find that during my "me" time, I can update my blog.
I am a stay home mum now. My husband ORD just yesterday, and soon he's gonna return to work. Salon life...I do miss working in the salon. My passion is still there, don't be surprise if one day I am back to the industry.
Yup. Just alittle update on my current situation. I am happy with my life now.
I guess I need some time to edit my blog layout again.
So ya, stay tune for my next update!
