Way to Mount Alvernia for maternity tour..

Yesterday babyhubby was off again. He make a delicious breakfast with my favourite herbs bread, cheese, eggs and ham which he bought the night before yesterday. After preparing, we headed to Mount Alvernia for the maternity tour to understand more about the facilities and rooms, and different wards.

On our way there..

I love this picture. It express so much about the feelings than words.

Love him ttm! ♥

His cute innocent boy-boy face!

Along the way while busy taking pictures, I noticed he keep caressing my tummy (BB Eden) and BB Eden is so excited and happy. Keep moving around in my tummy.

Wooo! It's gonna rain again!!

The goodies bag.

Includes: Magazines, Mum-to-be discount voucher, PIGEON baby wipes & nipple pads, HUGGIES diapers, free drinks coupon at the canteen and many brochures.

It was quite eye-catching and interesting to be able to walk around the whole maternity level, to see all the different rooms, different wards, 10 delivery wards and many more with few groups of parents.

At Mount Alvernia, their delivery admission is different. Daddies will straight away bring the mummy to the delivery room then go to admission. After admission, the daddies can come back to the delivery room and accompany mommies til the baby is born then they will be transferred to their chosen rooms. Only daddies allow to enter the delivery wards/rooms. All rooms including the delivery rooms are internet wireless.

There's one part where we visit the nursery rooms. As the nurses inside the nursery room pull up the curtain, we saw so many lovely newborn babies! They are so adorable. The sight of it makes me so touched and warmth. The goosebumps all stands!


Last night before bed

babyhubby said: " Baby, tell BB Eden tomorrow he don't have to wake up so early because he don't need to attend school. "

I was like =.=" zzzz then I broke into laughter cos recently few times BB Eden wake up in the morning feeling hungry. Always the same timing. 6AM or 6plus. Wake up for breakfast before school. =.="

Then babyhubby asked is it that I always told BB Eden must study well so he gets so excited to go to school, every time 6AM wake up want eat breakfast then go to school. LOL.

Silly babyhubby! I love you so much la! HAHAHA!

updates for 26.09.2010

I've already chosen Mount Alvernia as my baby's delivery hospital. Scattered all the brochure around on the table. Decided to go through it seriously one by one with babyhubby. Make sure he gets in his mind, if not always tell him about it. Later on/ few days later asked him , he will said "huh?" Then I have to repeat myself again. So irritating! =.=" LOL


Had chosen for the double room. I think anyway it's just 2 days so a double room will be fine. I hope I can go through normal delivery w/o epidural. I know it's kinda hard to predict and my Gynae told me I'll probably give birth early.

My mom and relatives actually against me going for normal delivery as I've asthma, they worried that I'll not have enough breathe to push. I understand it may be risky, I'll still willing to try if in the end my doctor approves.

As for epidural, I've heard a lot people mentioned how pain it is, but I'm gonna give myself a challenge. No matter what I hope I won't considered a epidural.


What to bring upon your delivery admission:



As for mommies:



For newborn & daddies:

Happy pampering :D

Babyhubby is off yesterday and today.

Yesterday went watching movie and dinner with Babyhubby's friends. Xiaoboy,his wife (whose pregnant with 8 months),Chang & his gf, Qingwei & his gf.

We went AMK hub to watch "Chen Zhen" ,the recent show acted by Donnie Yen. The show was kinda interesting. Love watching his fighting scene. His abs is damn fit and sexy la! 40+ yr old still can stay in shape so well.

Babyhubby & I discussed and chat a lot of pregnancy stuffs together with Xiaoboy and his wife. Found out many different knowledge. Very fruitful sharing.

After that, we went Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 to have our seafood feast. CRABS! Superior! Salted fried crab & Buttermilk crab! Love their crabs, they were so delicious. In order to take a seat , we still have to queue for around 30 mins or more for a table but I think it's kinda worthy. Wahaha! I know due to some myth, many will say not advisable to eat crab or seafood. We think it's actually ok , as long as you don't really eat too much in too often , it will still be fine.

Today went out to BBDC with babyhubby as he's taking his final theory test and I'm so proud of him seriously. Just within less than a hr of revising at home, he managed to scored 49/50! First timer some more and you know the question they asked always tricky. Great great!

After that we went walking around in Town area, hoping to find a prenatal massage service which is good,worthy and reasonable. Not much interested until we got into one in Cuppage. The big advertisement poster of a beautiful pregnant woman outside the door caught our eye straight away.

We decided to check out their services and rates of the massage. Not realizing, actually that was wellness spa that Mediacorp artist , Zoey Tay is currently attending to. She had them attend to her by home services once very week.

They also provide home services to customers and their consultant is very patience in explaining every detailed to us. I take up the prenatal massage first time trial (45mins) which only costing $28 nett. After trying, I think they were professional and I thought the package is at a reasonable price too. Imagine each time you went to salon/spa for a prenatal massage is already estimate min $100 exclude the first time trial, some more plus it's a big spa & wellness with good products used.

Babyhubby and I had a discussion all over and he decided to sign up the package to pamper me! WEE! So contented because I'm very clear though our financial status is very tight now but babyhubby said as long as I like the treatment and I'm happy , it's worth it and also I don't really anyhow spent money to buy other stuffs so it's time to pamper me. Teheehee! I love you bi!!

My Naughty Cheeky Little Precious Boy!

BB Eden is kicking/poking/moving very much the whole day today. He has never been like this.

Normally is very peaceful & calm during the daytime other than if my position happen to compress him, he will kick me or else he only kicks during night time for a short period of time.

Is it because his eyes have start opening now already? I can't sleep well last night. Wake up at 5-6AM feeling heartburn and morning sickness came back. Backache persisted and shoulder blade is aching like nobody business. I burped a lot and vomited in the end.

BB Eden has been moving all day long til now! He is still moving inside very actively now! Why is this so? What is happening and what's wrong with BB Eden? I hope I can magically change becoming the magic school bus in the cartoon , so I can travel into my womb and see what's actually going on in there. LOL!

♥ Us ♥

Just wanna share our childhood photos together played on our wedding as a memories.

The actual day. Sisters and brothers , you guys are great! Thanks!! It's actually quite fun and hilarious! For info, the games that sisters plan:

1. Dance 达浪舞 at my house downstairs
2. Sing 唯一 dedicate to me
3. Find the key that connects to my room door in icy cold water. (actually my room don't have a key)
4. wax 3 person leg include groom
5. Pledge his love to me outside my room and make sure I hear it.
   

Baby I'm sorry. =(

Few days ago just had a big arguments with babyhubby.

Emotional & imagination runs wild. Uncontrollable, I went insane.
Dint know that it sparks off the fight to become so serious.

Conversation was harsh and I even went crazy by saying I wanna take BB Eden away from my tummy and stop everything. What the hell am I even thinking? *slap my head!*

I understand Babyhubby is very tired and stress cause all the pressure is on him and I'm not working. However, at that point of time I just can't think carefully. I was impulsive. I admit that I'm the one who went too over board and I'm very bad tempered at times. Even stubborn and went ridiculous.

Things happened when I went home to stay couples days. I realized a married couple really have to stay together and sleep together on the same bed to share the bonding. You can say I'm superstitious but really, once I went home to stay,we will start quarrel.

Babyhubby dislike when I went home for too many days, he knew things would go wrong. He keep convinced to meet me and bring me home.

That day, mummy accompanied me to go over to Babyhubby workplace at Vivo. She dint know about our quarrel and I dint want her to know either , or worried about us. We just merely had our dinner there and some shopping.

When we reached Babyhubby working outlet, we saw he was doing closing soon. As he turned over, he still had himself to bring on the smile on his face and welcome us. That point of time I felt guilty but because of my stubbornness, I still ignored him.

We went in the shop and sat on the massage chair and I just left my slippers left and right on the floor. After babyhubby had clocked-out, he came over and put my pair of slippers nicely in front of my feet and help me to wear. Mummy saw his action and comment that Babyhubby is so loving and caring towards me. Yet , I wasn't appreciated and added up a sentence " That was just on the surface, superficial."

Babyhubby then brought me home with him. Throughout the whole journey back to Babyhubby home, Babyhubby was still showing his care and patience to me. He did not get angry and did not scold me. Along the way traveling in train, I secretly turned over to looked at his face. What I saw was not a angry face but a very tired and sleepy face. Awww. Suddenly my heart felt so painful and guilty. Then I realized he's having a hard time in work yet I still pressurized him by making nonsensical arguments. What a unthoughtful wife I am.

Babyhubby, I'm so so sorry about the comments and nasty words that I've said to hurt your feelings. I promised to be more considerate and understanding wife. Thinking about the times how we met , been together and got married. It's irreplaceable. I love you more and more and together we'll share all our little happiness awaiting the arrival of BB Eden. I love you more than everything my dear hubby. * Blushed!* Heeeees..

Along the way traveling on train, I listened to my mp3. And this song came out and refreshed my mind once again. Our Wedding second march in song. Breathless by Shayne ward

Couldn't find the original one as many has been blocked. Left this live.

If our love was a fairy tale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we'd say I do

And if we had babies they would look like you
It'd be so beautiful if that came true
You don't even know how very special you are

Chorus

You leave me breathless
You're everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can't believe that you're mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you're leaving me
Breathless

And if our love was a story book
We would meet on the very first page
The last chapter would be about
How I'm thankful for the life we've made

And if we had babies they would have your eyes
I would fall deeper watching you give life
You don't even know how very special you are

Chorus

You leave me breathless
You're everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can't believe that you're mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you're leaving me
Breathless

You must have been sent from heaven to earth to change me
You're like an angel
The thing that I feel is stronger than love believe me
You're something special
I only hope that I'll one day deserve what you've given me
But all I can do is try
Every day of my life

Chorus

You leave me breathless
You're everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can't believe that you're mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you're leaving me
Breathless

You leave me breathless
You're everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can't believe that you're mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you're leaving me
breathless

The irritating stretch marks I hate you!

I'm so damn pissed off with the irritating stretch marks.

Just within a night time, came out multiples of stretch marks on my butt cheeks!! Many disgusting pimples pop like having party! *Cries!*

I remembered last night while applying the lotion on my butt cheeks, it was still few lines of stretch marks. ( like at most 3-4 lines)

Today, after bathing , as usual I apply my lotion and found it spreads from a few lines to many multiple lines. (like 10 or more now)

I'm so super duper upset man! I think I'm gonna go mad.
I can't accept it. What a great sacrifices!

Conclusion: I'll try not to spread too much time sitting, I should go for walk more often!!! >.<

I'm so messed up.

Things are getting too much emotional recently. I don't know why everything doesn't seems to be in the right place. However, I just can't find a way to make it right. Mouth was blocked. No right words seems to be able to come out from my mouth.

Recently I've been thinking. Getting emotionally depressed and stress up.
I blamed the hormones that is causing all these to happen. Shit crap!
It's getting tougher for me to get into sleep at night.
Backaches are annoying. Tossing and turning on the bed, just can't find a right position to sleep on. It's so frustrating!

Some times, I'm really in dilemma. One side of me telling me to be contented with what I have now and cherish the moment, the other side of me is feeling so depressed and feels that I worth more than just that.

These days, I felt that I'm a failure too. I spent too much time thinking about myself than the little precious in my tummy. I've been asking myself, is my feeling more important than my little precious. I've been doing many things that I never spare a thoughts of feelings on BB Eden. I feel failure as a mom.
Comparing to many mommies and mommies-to-be, I feel so inferior. It's like nothing I've done much to prepare for the little precious to arrive in this world. I'm so sorry my little precious.

Every thing seems normal to you. Why am I the only one to think negatively? I always thought we were much better and comfortable all along, but now I think otherwise. Is this what people so-called " marriage" is to be? I doubted so.

Where's the happiness from the bottom of the heart gone to?

I miss my old self. ))=

Seriously I miss the old me.
I'm a very self-conscious person. Though now it's because I'm pregnant with Eden and I've grown, some times I still feel that I'm fat , I shouldn't eat too much.

I can't even stand the way I walked some times. I looked like a big fat penguin!

In my whole life I've never been so fat before, now I felt so depressed and low esteem. I know this is just because of pregnancy,just a time being. Many will say, "you can slim down after you give birth, for now, just eat more." However , I don't have the confidence that I will slim down a lot after birth. Even after birth, many things will slowly change. Examples, your skin texture, aging,metabolism and so on..

To all mommies out there, you guys are really brave and sacrifice a lot for your baby. Just hoping that in the future our children will understand how much pain we have suffered to give birth them.

See my last time pictures, I suddenly felt that I'm no longer young and sweet anymore. Starting to the stage of becoming auntie.These is just so heart-aching.

2009 est around march-may:

I miss my La La. Things have changes so much. We have our own thing to handle now and no longer seen together in a pair anymore. ):
I miss our belly dance lesson too. You promise to wait for me and attend our R&B freestyle dance together.

My second Bikini shoot 2009

First Bikini shoot

2008-2009

Times passes really damn fast. Soon, I can't remember how I used to put on those make ups.

Gifts from oversea

Sis just came back from Osaka trip and she bought me a few stuffs. She said the Disneyland in Japan is better than HK and much more bigger. Many Japanese wearing many different cartoon character cosplay walking and visiting the Disneyland despite hot weather. Their fetish towards fashion sense is always being so admired.

Thank you sis!! Love ya! ♥

Sis bought Hubby and me this couple towel from Japan Disneyland. The Mickey & Minnie mouse! She mentioned that these 2 towels are expensive. $50 (sgd) per towel. zzz

She bought us a couple glass cup too. The Donald & Daisy duck. So cute! A knitting craft for me and some small little socks for Bb Eden! It's so adorable! Look at the the Teddy bear face and the little happy stars!

Not forgeting some snacks and tibits from Japan for me. The quality is good and it's really delicious. Does the GREEN GREEN box looks familiar? It's 蜡笔小新的小熊饼干！！ I can't imagine I will have the chance to taste the one in Japan! LOL. Wee~! I'm happily munching on it now already!!

Meanwhile, my 堂嫂also came back from Taiwan. She bought back few things for me as well. A facial mask, a condom-like chocolate, a hair clip and a bottle of Martell for my confinement. Thank you so much! ;D

They said it's good to consume some Martell while in confinement but not immediately during your confinement, but a couple of weeks later during your confinement. Because I'm doing my confinement at my cousin house, she will be taking the Martell to her house and cooks dome dishes for me using it. Thanks ya!!

Well, after so long I dint have a sip of Martell already, hopefully I don't feel drowsy after then.. zzz LOL.

mini is a boy!

After confirmation from 2 doctors, my gynae and the doctor in Thomson medical center during the detail scanning in mini's 5th month.

Mini is confirmed to be a boy boy! Now I can start painting my rooms and gather mini clothes with blue! weee~!

♥ Baby mini ,Eden Chua ♥

Baby and me had finally sort out the best suitable names for mini from a long list of names. We decided we shall call him ♥Eden Chua♥.


Baby wanted a easy pronounce and a simple name for mini. We came out the idea that since it's a boy , we shall name him according to baby's first letter. E-ldwin. In this case , we can categorize and shorten many ideas for mini.

Naming mini is really a tough job. Had to find the meaning of the names and also it's very important for mini in the future. I've been searching ups and downs for names from varies of website that really cause me headaches.

After so long, I've listed down a whole full list of names of baby boy names starting from the letter E. Using the one by one cancellation method to pick out the best name for mini.

Some more we figure out. Baby has a 6 letter word name, mine is 5 letter word name and mini has a 4 letter word name. 654. sounds kinda unique, isn't it. ;D

Shopping/Choosing names/Appt.

Tml and wednesday is hubby's off day again.
Wee~!

Tml we will be going out for shopping as usual and look out the things for mini.
Baby promise to discuss about mini's name finally. Recently he's always so busy working, I've chosen some names for mini myself and need to get baby get down to the serious business in choosing mini's name.

Tml is also another appointment with my gynae. I can see my cute little precious again! Hope mini don't get overweight. Mini is so active nowadays. As usual, esp night time he will move around so much but I'm very happy to feel him moving every night. My little boy is cheeky! Really cant resist his cuteness! Teeheeheeee =D

I've noticed that stretch marks on my butt cheeks is getting more =(
So sad.! I must put even more creams on my butt and thighs already.
Insomnia gets worsen as day by day. Horrible, I find myself hard to get into sleep even more when baby's not with me.

Days passes by, though compare to many mother-to-be I'm still very far away from my E.D.D but I'm getting nervous yet excited every time that I think about my mini.

I'm so curious on how mini look like, how his eyes ,mouth , the whole face looks like and how he feels coming out to this new world.

Recently I start talking more and more to mini. When I'm free, I would read up some knowledge book and sings to mini.
Eat more fish and eggs as it provides DHA to mini's brain. I want mini to be a smart obedient boy.
Search many nursery songs for mini to listen.
Every night I'll talk to mini before sleep , actually I'll talk to mini whenever I'm lying down on bed as and when.
I can feel mini more and more real and lively each day.

Mini is poking me now non-stop even when I start writing this post til now. Naughty mini. You are simply irresistible. Mummy loves you more and more than ever. ;D
