Pregnant and Work

Hi all, how are you doing today?

So far, the day has been not too bad for me. I'm standing strong so I shan't complain. I managed to eat out last night and this afternoon. And I had chicken rice on both occasions. Only thing is, it cannot be compared to the one in Singapore. The rice was not flavoursome. It was bland and sweet. I suspect they put in oyster sauce which is WRONG!!!!!!! I miss the chicken rice in Singapore! Can anyone please send me one right now!!!!! If only the security wasn't so tight everywhere, I could have gotten someone to send me a packet of fishball noodles!!!

Being pregnant and at work is really not easy. Especially when I'm in the first trimester. I'm constantly snacking and I'm not at my best. Nauseous feeling can hit me anytime. So I do feel rather emotional at times. My stupid boss is being an idiot today. He loves to put me down, especially in front of client. So that he looks high up there! Like a KING! I made a mistake today, and he said something really sarcastically. I hope he gets his karma soon!

Alright, so far my day has been rather boring. Nothing much to blog about. I shall leave it as it is!! Till then, take care!!!

Sorry for the delay in blogging!!

Hi everyone!!

My BIG sorry for not blogging!! To be honest I was abit skeptical to talk about my pregnancy. People always say tell when you are 3 months. Honestly I'm not that type of person. Anyway, I have uploaded a few posts on what's happening to me. Happy reading!!!

Today I have sort of found out how to battle with my morning sickness. It is actually to EAT ALL THE TIME!!!

It sounds crazy but it is so true!!! For the past few days, we did a few research and tested out many things. So far these are the food that works for me:

Cheeseburger, cheeseburger and cheeseburger!!!

OMG!!! It is so unhealthy!!!!! Sigh no choice to be honest. I cannot stand cooking smell so Fred has been forbidden to cook. Even when he wants to cook his favourite sausages, I have to make sure the door is close.

Alright, it is not just cheeseburger. With the help of a good friend, she is pregnant herself, she made me dinner for the past two days. I really don't know how to thank her. The food was so good and really calm my stomach. Even Fred love it! Though it wasn't made for him!! She suggested grapes and almonds. She also gave me biscuits which helped her and a fizzy lemon lime bitter!! So far, all of those worked very well!

Now, I have all the food that works for me. Still I feel sick sometimes. I found out that this is because I have to eat every 1.5 to 2 hours. It is so true to eat small meals throughout the day. It really helps. I tried to eat before my hunger pangs start to hit me (before gastric juice invade my stomach wall).

Anyway now, I just have a whole lot of snacks in my drawer, next to my bed and everywhere I go. My boss must be wondering why I am constantly eating but I don't really care. I have yet told him because doc advised me to wait for 3 months.

Today I am official 7 weeks!

Morning sickness has taken over our life.

This is not funny anymore. I feel so depressed and simply wish to end the misery by... sigh negative thoughts again...

I was off sick leave on Friday. I woke up feeling dizzy and HUNGRY!!! Last night, I woke up eating biscuits on my bed because the hunger pangs were unbearable.

So far, Fred has been really helpful and I am really really thankful. He was practically my slave. I had to think of what to eat, and he will go get it for me. He cannot cook everything but was always there when I needed something.

This weekend I was in bed all day. So far I have vomited 3 times. I did my best to control and I think it went really well.

In the evening, I was all stressed up wondering how am I going to work feeling this way!! Fred decided to buy me a Sea sick wrist band! And unknowingly, after wearing it for about 10 mins. It works!! I'm so happy!!!!!

Interview + All the Bad Lucks I had

Today was my interview. I wasn't feeling 100% due to my morning sickness, just praying really hard that I will be able to go through it successfully.


We headed out of the house. It rained heavily last night. Fred realised he forgotten to close the sun roof of the laser. The seats were soaked. Sigh. That means we had to take this bumpy subaru. That will help my morning sickness. !!!


When I went to work, I realised my toes felt alittle damp. Then I checked the sole of my shoe. Alas!!! There is a big hole!


All I did was panicked. And I made myself felt worse. I quickly went to the vending machine to get some sweets. Luckily it helped...


Interview....


Interview went pretty alright. It was casual and I pretty much said what I knew. Only didn't really stucture my statements properly. I wasn't too nervous. Anyway I'm glad its all over!!!! I can concentrate on my body!!!!!


Pleaseeee baby.... stop this nauseous thing!!!

Guess what? Morning sickness has kicked in!

OK, I never knew morning sickness can be that bad. I felt really depressed at the moment. I was not ready for this. Just a few days ago, I was so happy and eating was just so easy. Now all I want is my mum. I'm going crazy. Fred is going crazy too i think. He doesn't know what to cook for me. Or what to buy for me.


I need my mum!!!!


I can't seemed to find anything I like to eat here!!! HOWWWW!!! Everything seemed to be so salty. I'm not even sure if they are really fresh.


I don't what is wrong with me. I'm feeling so needy and terrible!!!!


At 4pm, I rushed home. I was going to throw up. But I controlled it. I had a nap and woke up eating KFC. KFC wasn't tasty anymore. It was tasteless to me. Sigh!! HOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!


I want fishball noodle soup!!! I want all the Singapore food!!!

Blood Tests Results II

I'm so happy!! My blood tests came out good!!! The doctor rang and we were both thrilled!!

Ok that's all I wanted to say! Ciao

Blood Tests Results

Read this: http://www.health.vic.gov.au/ideas/bluebook/cmv

Well this is what was detected in my blood. Some sort of fever I had once in my life. Doctor was not sure if it was current or the past. We suspected it was dengue fever. Yes I had dengue fever before in the 90s! Funny thing was my dad, my sister and me had it at the same time!! But my white blood was decreasing so I was admitted to hospital.

Anyway, I had to do a few more blood tests!! I hope nothing too serious!!

Because if this infection is current, this means the baby will have xxxxxxxxxx ... ok I'm being abit superstitious. I don't want to tell you the negative. You can read more on the link above.

5 weeks 1 day

So far, my pregnancy symptons are tiredness, and PEEING!!

OK it is abit disgusting to talk about pee but, I really do pee alot!! I hate it when it is in the middle of the night!!! I have been waking up to pee 3 times!!!

The worst part is, Fred snores alot. So once I wake up, its hard to fall asleep. Anyway I tried to drink less water before I sleep and make sure I go to toilet before I head to bed.

Today I'm 5 weeks and 1 day.

We really need a proper car now

Now that I'm pregnant, this gives us more reasons to get a new car. So we went for car hunting and found a few good deals. But not sure which one to get.

These are what we have in mind:

1) Toyota Camry Grande
2) Honda Accord
3) Toyota Aurion

At the end of the day, we really want a leather seat car because it will be easier to clean. I'm really excited!!! I just can't stand the current Subaru car. It is way too bumpy for me!!!!! It probably bounced if it goes over a ciggy !! That's how sensitive it is!!

4 weeks 6 days - ultra sound

So... I'm 4 weeks and 6 days!!! I've got some x-ray pictures but honestly you cannot see anything.

All I can see was a sac. Like a oval white thing. I believe it was only 3mm!!!! weird huh

Yes!! I'm Pregnant!!!

After going through 5 pregnancy tests, I have decided to visit a doctor to confirm my situation.

My first 4 tests were on this strip thing.
2 lines means positive
1 line means negative

However, mine came up with 1 obvious line and 1 very faint line. If its you, you would be skeptical too right? I was so doubtful!!!

So we decided to go buy a more expensive one. And tada!!! It was positive!!! It was so weird!!

Anyway today we visited the doctor. The doctor did the SAME TEST?!?!?! Using urine to test on the strip. Dammit, I might as well visit him earlier! Anyhow, it was positive. We were thrilled I guess though VERY VERY UNEXPECTED!

The doctor was nice. He recommended this Professor who used to teach him in this private hospital in Murdoch! I've been there! Love the place cos its clean and new!! I did six tubes of blood tests and booked in for an ultrasound for the following day.

Our day was weird. To be honest, we were half happy half sad. There were a few plans ahead of us but now everything changes. But then again, this was going to happen anyway ahah!! So better earlier than later!

Rollercoaster Ride

No I'm not riding on a rollercoaster. Probably can't ride on one anyway haha.

My life has been like a rollercoaster these few days after the stupid fight with Fred. It's ALL GOOD now! Thanks for your concern ladies!! We made up and something came up. I can only blog about it after Monday! Hopefully it will be good news and Fred and I will have something to look forward to!

Jess and Hao might be coming to Perth!! That's really exciting!!! Hopefully I can take some time off work!!

I've been feeling so tired recently!! There's a reason behind it and will come back to blog about it soon!

Nothing much to blog now, bye!

Worst Weekend of my Life

I thought it is going to peaceful. I've been so tired. Cos my P is not here yet. Girls you know how it feels right? I just needed alot of rest. But there were so much to do on Saturday. The weather was crap. It was humid, cold and warm.

Every 2 weeks, we go out. He drinks, I don't. I keep myself awake to drive all home. I'm cool. But this week, I had a backache. It hurts alot. I'm tired, physically and mentally. I just wanted my own time, watch dramas and rest whenever.

He said he was cool. But I know he wasn't. I wanted to go at 9:30pm he said ok. I waited. 11:30pm. I said we better go. There's church and I'm on duty. He was so damn reluctant. Walking to the car, he asked "you sure you wanna go... we are having so much fun" Yes not what my back hurts and I was so damn tired. Cos I know it was going to last till 3-4am. I was so angry. He doesn't want to go even though he said he was cool. It was up to me. It was all lies. I told him I should just go home myself and he can go party. He said OK (with heaps of anger). Yes I drove home from Subi. I never driven home from Subi before. I was hell scared. It was late. I drove to a small street to put up the Ps. Damn thing won't stick to the window. I can't find my license. I was all alone! I tried to recall the way we went home. Luckily, there wasn't any booze bus. Not that I was drinking. But I have no Ps and no license with me. I had no phone too. I did drive back to the same spot where he left me. He didn't wait. He went into the club and joined his friends.

I went home, showered and waited my hair to dry. I was scared. What if he didn't go back to the club? What if he was taken away from bad people? Cos I know he had quite a few drinks, a few glasses of wine and scotch. He said he was sober. I don't believe. He didn't even ring me. I waited. I tried to sleep. But my heart was pounding so damn fast. I was scared. At 2:30am, I gave up. I couldn't sleep. I continued my Korean drama. 3.00am, he msged me and said he was sorry and asked me to take all of them home. I hope the words were not there. I hope he didn't mean it. He left me driving home, partied till 3am. Made me waited 4 hours and all he said he was sorry, he wanted me to drive everyone home. I was furious! So damn furious! I tried to think straight. Maybe I was being petty. But since I've got my license. This is our life. Nearly every 2 weeks, he drinks like there's no tomorrow and I waited and drive him home. As I said I was cool. This time my back just hurts.

I didn't reply. I was waiting. I was scared. He could have just taken a cab home. Who cares? Why should I always be the one bothering so much? I was angry. I couldn't let it go. 4am. He tried to open the door. No he didn't have any keys. He gave it to me when I had to drive home. Did he think I was so cool about it? He wasn't even sober enough to think he hasn't got the keys. I told him to get lost. I didn't let him in. Outside was cold. But he was colder. The temperature suits him. I didn't care but I was scared. 5am, he continues tapping the window, all around the house. I tried to sleep but I couldn't. I think it was nearly 6am, when I was about to fall asleep, the tapping continue. I opened the door and let him in. My mind and body were so tired. I couldn't think anymore.

Next morning, both of us missed church. I woke up with backache. I tried not to think about it. I watched Korean dramas all day. Till around 4pm, I chased him out of the house. I was angry. I didn't want him around. He left and came back at 6ish. I asked him to leave. At 7pm, I felt bad. I wonder where he went. Was he even scared and upset? I rang him at 7:05pm. "Where are you" "Hey, I'm going out with my friend for dinner"

Ok I'm going nuts. Then I had alot of missed calls from my mum. I was going crazy. I was crying and crying. What is wrong with everyone!!?!?! What is wrong with him? What have I done ?!?! Finally I answered the phone. Mum was nice.. worried. I was crying on the phone. Trying to keep it cool though. I hanged up. I cried even louder. I was going insane. I think very hard. What went wrong? Was it my fault? All day, he didn't even say a thing to me. He said he was sorry. That was it. It was so simple. All the crap I went through, he was sorry. He won't even know what he was apologising for.

At 9pm, he came home. I couldn't be bothered anymore. I slept at about 10. We went to work separately. He tried to apologise again when we met at the traffic lights. But I know, this time it was different. I had enough.

Woo hoo! Its ThurrrrsDAY

Yay! The weekend is so close I can smell it!

So what's been happening?

On Tuesday night, we went to this Irish pub in Subiaco. Cos I was going to try and use as much vouchers as I can before it expires! OK, I'm so cheapskate! Anyway I had One-for-One at Paddy's Mcguire. It was pretty good. Just alittle weird, cos we felt out of place. The pub was quiet at first, with a few locals (presumingly some could be Irish). Then we found out it was poker night. The crowd dived in later. It was pretty cool. Food was good and cheap!

Yesterday, Fred and I didn't go to work. I had this backache that's been haunting me. It could be becos my P is coming. ah well... Anyway we won't quite productive! We had a 3 hour nap. Sigh.. it felt good but guilty. I need to learn how to RELAX!!! Just rest and forget about the world! HAHAH! After which I got so bored, started this korean series called "Bad Love". I must say it wasn't that good after 3 Ep.

For those who wants to watch korean dramas, I found a website (better than Youtube) www.soju.com. There's only 4 clips to one Ep. Unlike Youtube, 8 clips to one Ep. Pretty frustrating.

Oh last night, went to Mahsuri's Satay restaurant. Heard alot of good critics on their satay. I must say, thumbs UP! Though abit too oily but yea it was pretty good. The beef rendang was good too, soft tender meat. Service was good until we ordered our dessert. We ordered Pulut Hitam and this guy gave me this sago thingy. I asked him where is my black glutinous rice and he tried to tell me the sago was the right one????? ARGHHH, then he said, oh I will go make it again... I think the kitchen made a mistake. WHAT THE??? WEIRD... but I would go back again once I have my voucher HAHAHA.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tonight going to IKEA. It's been a looong time since we went there. Since V day??? Yes I had my Vday there. How romantic. Anyway need to get more clothes hangers! Never seem to have enough!! Since V day, I bought like 15, and now I need another 15 now. The hangers are sooo cheap!!

Just some update on my business shit... ah well.. I think I'm giving up. I can't be stuff anymore. TOo much effort. Till my mood comes back, I am going to take a break. Read my books, watch crappy korean dramas and watch movies every night.

Oh I watched this one last night "One missed call". DAMN GOOD HORROR. I think it is a 2008 movie but not sure if it has been released to Australia. Anyway it was scary and still gives me the creeps when I think about it!!!

Another one I watched last night was "The Good night", apparently directed by Gywneth Paltrow's brother Jake P. It was a SHIT movie. Ok I'm so mean. But I really didn't quite understand what was going on. It was such a arty faty movie!!

Alright that's all. Sorry for the long post. Can't help it. :P
