Not well yet
Still ON mc. Today's the last day. Effectively it's been a week since I last saw school. Today's the Sports Day, and I asked my gynae if he could cover me for today as well coz it didn't seem like a good idea to bake in the sun just after a bad case of godknowswhat. Was given this website on The Passion. Warning: It's superly long.
There's another website about an interview with God. Will view later.
The clutter around my place is driving me up the wall. Sigh. I've been trying to clear up the place, and ben also, but clutter creeps in all the time. Must be more disciplined. Any tips?
I've got about 2 weeks of school left, then it's the hols. Now, I mustn't complain that the hols are long and boring - coz I need to fill up my time before our darling comes along. Hope the nesting syndrome hits me soon, then i can PACK PACK & PACK! :D
Went for the detailed scan yesterday - an now I'm collecting wagers on the gender of the baby. Any takers? Hahahah. :)
Not so good news - doc found a 2.5mm cyst near the brain, but said that it'll go away in about 3 to 4 weeks time. Pray pray pray. He was glad that I was below 30yo, coz chances of Down Syndrome increases if I'm above that. Gosh. Baby's head was tucked in my left hip, so snuggly, and it seems like during each scan, the baby would be playing with the hands - hmm... just like Daddy. :) A hands person... I like.
Searching for useful websites about controlling clutter. Any contributions? :D

Still Sick
On mc again today. Started antibiotics - the 2nd round after the first prescription by my gynae for an infection. Had to go back to the doc today to extend mc, he's a sweet guy. Said to come back on mon if still unwell for a review. :)
Tmw got sports day rehearsal. Argh. Not going. Heh. :) I'm so bored at home. Argh. Dunno what to do. Slept enough, but think i'll go hit the sack again. Ben's OTing in the office. Financial year ending on 31st march, so he got tons of work to do. He's been so sweet. I was sick yesterday, so he took time off and sent me to the doc. This morning still unwell, so he took half-day to send me again. Though he could sleep in lah. But still, it was really sweet of him.

Sick
Throat burning... and i missed school today. really bad day today. woke up quite late (late for ben), hurting throat, took my shower, squirted dettol shower concentrate straight into my left eye, owwwwwwed all the way, swollen eye, then fumbled through the rest of the day.
Finished Torey Hayden's Beautiful Child (finally)... though I dun really like her style of writing, the story is still good. Started with this book, Just Another Kid and opened up my world to special education. Torey's really good. She's amazing. Kudos to her. :)
Thank God It's Friday tomorrow. Sports rehearsal on Sat tmw, and i've got the green light from the PE HOD not to turn up if I want to. Heheh. :)

Absolutely hilarious
If they showed this (edited) in Singapore, the government's policies would all go down the drain. Scary.

Last Day of Vacation
Had my haircut today. Went for facial also. Well, as u know, after facial, certain parts of the face tend to be redder... So my uncle saw me and proclaimed that I looked like my mum (eeeeksss!!!) when she was pregnant coz the look of my nose resembled hers. I almost flew into a rage. My mum and aunt had to calm me down. I hate it when people do that. So my uncle suffered lah. *Paiseh*
Wore Ben's clothes to granny's place - his shirt and his pants. So comfy... and my relatives were like, "OMG, you're SOOOO big now!!!!" Argh. Next time must wear skimpy clothings with lotsa make-up. People see and judge quickly... not only my relatives, but colleagues and well-meaning NIE friends... :P
Well, a beloved relative of mine is not having a good time with his gf. Quite a pain actually. Gosh, how I wish I could blog here, but due to the sensitive nature of this arena, better not. All I can say is, his blog is politically correct, or rather, plain propaganda.
Asked him about the birthday thanks to his girlfren, and apparently she was with him when he blogged. Subsequently becoz of my kao-peh, then he added the new thanksgiving in. Then she asked,"Why must add your (relative) in?" Gosh. She is such a pain.
Although I know she's got her merits - tahaning my relative is one of them - she also gives us the colour of the day with her face. Sigh. Absolutely no knowledge of social protocol. And reasons for everything. Yup, she's Miss Right, alright. Miss Always Right. Sorry babe, but we seriously dun think very highly of her as the days go by. Even ben's ex knew how to behave herself, and tekaned ben only after the event. Sigh. And to think we're being constantly critiqued by her for our every action or inaction. I seriously cannot be bothered with her anymore.
Smalltalk is painful. I'll just be myself and ignore her completely... as she always advocates. ;) Good luck with ur breakin' up wif her.
It's back to school tmw. Yay. :) I dowan to go to school coz I'm not prepared. :P

Hols over
Went to the gynae's today. :) Gosh, it was such a lovely session! :D Baby got Daddy's head... round round one. :) Also saw the kiddo rolling from side to side, and i felt the bump as he/she was doing so! :D Scheduling a detailed scan at KK soon, to check if everything's okie with the baby. :) Tried to peek at the underside today. Legs open, but doc pointed out the umbilical cord which made detecting the penis difficult. Well, seems like there ain't anything between the legs!! Doc won't confirm yet, most likely will confirm @ the next session. Yay. :) He was quite cautious, coz i think he's seen parents who have been disappointed at knowing they're carrying a girl instead of a boy.
Having a headache now. Argh... won't go away, and feeling pretty warm. Guess it's the baking weather. :P Finished item 2 and 3 for yesterday's menu, and trying to complete item 1. Finished 1 or 2 math lesson plans I think. The drama serial had a crappy ending-ending... the end of the ending. The whole crew saying 'Hao ren you hao bao!' WLE. Dunno if I'll ever chase another serial. :P Honestly, I dunno how I'll survive the 10 weeks of vacation after practicum. Maternity leave and thereafter won't be that bad coz got bb to take care. But for now, gosh. *Yawn*
Joy finally got a bath today! :D Thanks love for bathing her. She was so happy after the bath - dunno because it's the end of it, or because she's finally clean. Heh.
I'm glad I've got another pal who's expecting around the same time as me... she's due 4 wks later, around that time I think. It's strange how God allowed our paths to meet for a great reason such as this - to be the support and strength when there isn't much at times. Also, I'm glad that I've got loved ones around me - people whom I've known for a long time, and also only for awhile - who have been superly encouraging and supportive. :) Thanks. :)
Went to view Jay's friendster. He's got more pictures up, although not superly clear, he still looks pretty much the same. I won't fly in his plane though. So scary - he's not concentrating!! :P Heh. Big buddy lah, that fella. Hope to catch up wif him soon. If he ever returns. Heh.
Strange how we are thinking of going to perth for different reasons. I seriously dunno what I left behind there... tried selling quite a bit of stuff, yet I dunno if it's worth going back there for the junk I left behind - father's windbreaker, textbooks, etc. See first lah. If the place is still available. Even queenie's back liao, so how to access that place??
Had this strange inspiration this evening about landladies... haha... bombarded ben with a series of questions. Poor him - this pregnancy is taking a toll on him.
Dowanna go back to school - now that i've just barely got used to the hols. Bummer. It'll be good if we could have 12 weeks of bumming with each other!!! *hint hint!* Hehe... Seeing how ben has developed in the student care env, having intellectual debates with him about kids, he passion, motivation, mission and love makes me firmly believe that teaching is really a bonus for him. With the kind of hard work he puts into what he does to create an environment (at least material) which schools offered but are totally untapped shows me that he has beliefs similar to the system. The system isn't that bad - I think it's misunderstandings and conflict in personal and corporate beliefs that make the system look bad. I believe in the education system in singapore. Although it's radically changing, I do appreciate what it has to offer and try my best to deliver the objectives. :) That's why I enjoy teaching. It's not just about the students or grades. It's the holistical approach, that takes one hell lotta work, yet the desire is for children to benefit @ the end of the day - which is what ben is doing over at the SC side. But for him - it's OMO - one man operation. Argh. Anyway, the choice is his - although I do advocate (bo-loh-soh him, issit what that's called?) teaching. Not to everyone - coz if it's an unsuitable fit - the teacher and children suffer. I dun really care about the teacher - coz adult liao - but children may be forever scarred by the negative attitude of the teacher. I am guilty as well. Reflecting on how my first batch has suffered under me - makes me really think twice, even thrice, when I deal with them - as a group and as an individual. Well, I dun really give two hoots about what pple say/said/are saying about the way I do stuff. They can talk all they like, as long as the children are positively impacted - I believe I've done my job. Well, when ppl talk, they'll stay away from u (ideally) and as they talk behind ur back, they'll always be behind u. At least ur work is getting noticed. :) Appreciation is another thing altogether. Unless it's totally unproductive or counterproductive, or if the loss is greater than the gain, then the ways will be modified. And feedback would be from children, parents as well as well-meaning teachers, and HODs, VP and P. Willing to share, but if anyone chooses to bitch, they can go set up another department, call it the bitches club, and do what they do best - bitch. And all will bear fruit - good and not-so-good ones. Pray I dun fall into the latter category.
Okie. Enough temping at the bitches club. Back to work. :)
