A brand new life!

It’s our church practice to have special blessings for expectant parents on the last Sunday of every month and we got a surprise from my gal friend in church today!

We were sitting at the far back in the same section as her and we were wondering if she will go up for the blessings. To our disappointment, she and her hubby just sat down without any signs of going up. BUT! Just before the priest give the blessing, she and her hubby went up!

Hooray!!! A brand new life is being formed safely snuggled in the comfort of mommy’s snug tummy as I’m typing this. We are happy for her! And I think her excitement is the most obvious, think the Daddy-to-be seems to be acting cool. Haha.. he seems so clam and cool but I can detect that tinge of excitement and is so pleased that he’s soon going to be a tiny precious’s Father!

Congratulations Max & Lynn! Take good care, eat more healthy food and BB, don’t bully mommy huh!!

Hubby and me having got married for more than a year now and definitely longer than the expecting couple of course got a few questions asking when is our turn. =P Unfortunately or otherwise, we will have to wait for a few more years wor. Since we are starting our bachelor’s degree next year. Not sure when hubby will start his but mine is commencing in Jan 07, and for 3 years, I will be busy with assignments, tests, homework, lessons, group discussions and also presentations?

Don’t think this is a good time to have a child now. Of course, I know that it’s not a definite no to having a child and studies at the same time. I know also that if and when the time comes, we will manage. But then again, it’s adding so much stress to ourselves. With the school fees and BB together, I think we will be too stressed to handle all at the same time not to mention the financial drain it will be on the both of us.

Most importantly, I want to be able to have the time to spend with the BB and not just letting my mom or someone take care all the time.

So, yes, BB have to wait. Though I yearn for a BB to be growing in my tummy and to have a BB to cuddle, to love, to complete our family, this is not the right time yet leh.

I know hubby also yearns to have our own ‘love fruit’ but for the sake of our future, we will have to shelve this till a few years later.

After mass, as usual, we had lunch with the Emma and some others. This time, it’s not at the horrible coffee shop near CTK, we went to AMK, S11. I wanted to get a plastic lid that I saw in action city, I thought there was a branch in AMK hence went there. But sucks to my memory, that shop has closed down. This lid hor, I feel it’s quite good leh, once you put it over the cup (any size, as long as smaller than the lid) it sorts of like create a vacuum! And the lid is quite strong, I could just use the lid and lift up the whole cup when I tried it in Action City in Marina last nite!! (There was just 1 piece left but I din like the design so decided to not get it last nite) But no shop = no lid lor. I will try to go to J8 to take a look and see if I can get my hands on 1 of those. Very useful I feel. At least the next time when I go to the pantry to take water, my lid will not keep falling off the damm cup!!!

We then went to get some household items and also daily necessities at the “Red Tomato” and some neighbourhood shop which sells things at a low low price instead. I bought a new shampoo (Silkpro) and also a new 2-way cake (Silk girl) to try, running low on these 2. Hmmm… How come all the “silky” things? Wanted to try the Ascience shampoo actually but the sales person says may not be suitable for my hair. So ended up with silkpro. I'm quite nervous about this shampoo coz now that hubby and me are doing yoga on almost every morning, we do work up a sweat and I wash my hair at least twice a day now. And I'm quite afraid that my hair will turn out to be messy and dry.. Hope this shampoo won't.

Came home to rest and then later this evening, we will be heading to my parents’ place for dinner. Heard she has cooked the “Xian Chai Ya soup”, Duck in Salted Vegetables soup. It’s a dish by itself and I like it. Think hubby does too. I hope mom has cut plenty of chili ready. The duck tastes best with chili!

But we are more craving for her chicken curry rather than this duck soup. Will try to physo her tonight it next week! Haha…

Speaking of next week, it’s again another busy week for us… *sigh*
Yoga, Dinner @ PIL, Obligation Mass, Kickbox, Household chores, Wedding… Yups.. there goes my week nights again and it also brings an end to my another soon-to-be-coming week!!

P.s: Remember that Cannon Ixus I was drooling over early this morning? I asked for it as Bday and Vday present for next year. So all I need to do now is wait! =)
