another one?

It was a short visit to the gynae's new office at Raffles on dec 21.. It seems that Balqis's siblings will afterall NOT be a "G" Baby like the sister. The Gynae has moved to Raffles Women's Clinic.

I had almost forgotten about the check up. Kudos to the Raffles great service, they sms-ed me to remind me of the appt, 2 days, earlier..

It was a sigh of relief that hubby's off day fell on my appt day, so I can bring Balqis out to admire sunshine,cars, buildings and people with no worries of juggling with my bag,stroller and my lil dear.

We reached there just in time for the appt scheduled but as usual the wait was a while. I think he would have no time to even stop for a toilet break. one patient after another. Never changed since my visit to his clinic in Gleneagles

The check up was fine it showed that my tummy is clear(except for the non going of FATS. I'm buildng them. Ironic that Breastfeeding is not shoo-ing of it!) Kidneys are gd and he came with a serious talk

no.. it's NOT another one that i came to look for my check up. It was a follow up after my labour....

Dr: So Balqis wun be getting a second sis or bro... anytime now
Dr: so, WHEN second one?
(He sooo sounded like my other family members! )

We aren't against another one, yet. We will be glad and syukur if it comes anyway.. . If it doesn't I am also ok with it. It's just that I feel that I have still not yet nurtured enuff attention to my Lil dear Balqis. She's just 8 mths and her first 2 teeth(came out two in a row!twins teeth i call it!) just came out. we're happy to dote her for now..

OH and we found a discovery of CHEESE fries that rawks!!!u must try them at Bugs banquet from the western food stall. Fries are fillin and the topping of cheese... to the max! yummy!!

Top of that 2007 has been an up and downhill.
Every week days, Balqis spends so little time with me and her dad. So if she has another sibling, can i cope with it? Hubby scooling and working? It has been a love-hate relationship at work. Promoted but i am not sure i can cope with the workload..My work load is like a sea. sometimes stormed by too much pressure . sometimes cools a a breezy windy day. It's consuming a lot of my off-record after work hours and affecting the time spent with lil Balqis..

Hubby acceptance to School was a blessing, alhamdulillah, but i do pity him that he has to cope with work, school and also dedication as an Islam. 4 more years to endure and hopefully by then It'llbe a breeze, insyallah.

We have made up our minds on the location of the house. Hopefully the owner will not back out from selling his house in June this year. I am Super xcited!! The room we survived is taking its toll now. Balqs's Cot and hubby's study corner is smacked at 2 different corners of the living room(sorrydad!) I am so glad that Mum is not complaining. So long i keep it presentable, it'll do. But i am limited to get toys for Balqis though. No TABLES for Balqis for the moment, No horseride or mobile toys for now. Out of bound by mom.NO place to store!

I have been spending so much on the kitchen cups(mostly my collections of Starbucks cups that i realised last dec that i had to store the tumblers flasks and mugs to 4 seperate locations; store under the bed, my cupboard and the luggage bag. On top of that the wardrobe is clustered and fully utilised. I cant hang my Baju kurung now. Its been folded neatly to make space for my work clothes that i need to iron weekly so that i am not late for work, since i can't depend on a bike ride and the taxi fare wil cost 10 bucks!! up from a mere 7 plus!(i am still LATE ..so Pockets are slowly moulding with holess....

The lil Balqis can now stand on her own... She has climbed out of her feeding chair

malas ullstop

Itchy Hands..

I am still getting used to multiply..

Apologies fro the surge of blog entries. They were imported from my previous blog.. Now i am on a procrastinating whether i made the right option to import all the blogs from my old site.

It has gone gaga.. erm

Rani: I'll still be at the same place. The only difference that I've moved to anotehr seat because the new agents ned to have a patched.

QUick November? oh i had accidentally saved that entry even before i typed and was trying to retrieve it but became a lil dumb. I was not sure how to edit them! ahah soo it became blank. Prior to spending time looking for it, i was agitated.can't be bothered and continued surfing and pushed it aside. I think my fingers were too excited to save DRAFT to prevent the entries from "kabushing" but i got too excited, it became a blank entry. Now i forgot what i was trying to write abt

Ok here's what happened in November that i remembered.
-HUbby birthday;the bintan trip
-Balqis has crawled like a worm but now much faster and slowly crawling. Her 6 mth jab follow up
-She has shown that she loves the Laptop. but has shown signs of boredom with her toys.
-We just brought her walker but she's not that interested. She wants us to be in fornt of her or carrying her 24/7, esp when i am home.
-a small accident encountered by my bro

I bought an early gift for hubby before his bdae since we were in town to search for a new electronic device to replace the non-working one. Ok the device we bought, we were OVERCHARGED.. thanks to the NO survey this time coz hubby thinks we will waste time and i'll back out and not want to buy it and regret then.

Lesson learnt, no mater what must survey, ok hubby!

Then We had a simple celebration with a small lil dome cake frm Prima deli.(alhamdulillah it was was ard nov 5, otherwise we could be the victims of the Food poisoning!)

The itenery we were so liiking forward was nov 10 where we had our bags packed and woke up as early as 5plus AM to get ready for our trip to bintan. Balqis seems to know that she's going to BIntan.. ok she did not even SLEEP till we board the ferry!It was a 3days 2 nights trip.

On reaching Bintan, we went straight to hotel but had to wait for our book in at 2pm. We hoped on a bus(the fare was $6 in SGD!) to Pasar Oleh2(which was quite near!!!I am syukur that the bus fare to bedok would most probably cast me 2.50 when i board an express bus!) and did only half a round of walking in the market and found ourself attracted to a massage package. Balqis was not in favour of the place at first and we had a hard time duing the massage.
After the massage we did a quick shop and headed back to the hotel and checked in. By then we reste for a while and after asar, head to the beach to catch the wind and check on Balqis reaction with the sand and sea.

She was ok from the time we walked to the beach till we let her in the sea with the help of her small buoy. Ater sometime, the waves grew bigger and louder and she panicked. Off we head to the shore while hubby enjiyed his sparse moemnt with the waves and became syiok sendiri when the waves became bigger.

We headed to the pool next and Balqs reacted differently to the pool. SHe was more relaxed. It was like a climate change reaction. She was frantically excited! After some time, we headed back to prepare ourselves for the dinner at the Kelong, at Nirwana Gardens.

Unfortunately, hubby was tired and we cancelled the trip. An accident happened after that which we had to call the resort Doctor to assist us. After 30minutes with the Dr, alhamdulillah everythin went well but he has to do a follow up when he is back in SIngapore(which he has not done yet..because he feared that he may be on long Hospitalisation leave)

Prior to that accident, we decided to have our dinner at the hotel's restuarant...and postponed our kelong trip to the day after.

The next day we woke up a lil late but managed to catch our breakfast. We had actually forgot that Bintan is on the Indonesian waters and the time is an hour late.We did not do much accept to go back to our room and spend more time with Balqis and slept..(Perut dah kenyang...)We so love the big room haha..plus shopping will burn our pockets!!

In the late afternoon we went to the beach again and this tie round only hubby went to sea while Balqis and me stayed on the shore line to enjoy the breeze.
Then we head to the pool again for Balqis. This time we stayed until her diapers went bulky!

The cab waited for use to go to the Kelong. It i remember correctly, the fare was SGD40 for a two way transport(padahal dekat and not like from boonlay to changi and back!) We missed the sunset again.. but the night breeze was chilling. Luckily we had Balqis all covered ,otherwise she may have caught a cold.
DInner was superb.. I think for that night we might have pun on a few kilos! US being the seafood crazy pple, we had quite a spread until we had no time to to picture them but tucked in straight!The trip was ok however we found ourselves silent during the ride tehre and back home. If you could have been there you may have teh same experience. The road was deserted. No jams. No traffic lights. Dim lights or at sometime, no lights. It was only our car or two three cars whizzing from the opposite directions.It was picth dark. Even Balqis was tugging and hanging on tight to HUbby's clothes.

Alot went through my mind during the road journey to Nirwana. I was imagining if pirates were to hijack us, what could have happened to us....

The last day we managed to shop for small items for our house maybe, some clothes for the siblings and and a big bag for myself

Our tots:

• the trip has beeen splendid with hiccups a bit. We were dumbstruck by the expensive charge of a COKE can..costing SGD3.50 and SGD5.50 for a bottled soft drink. So u can imagine how much it would cost if it was consuming drinks from the hotel room
• We should have asked ard on the currency used.. we changed a lot of rupiah and ended up paying much more. the currency was on SGD dollars!!!!!!
• We still had not enuff fun in Bintan and will plan for a next trip there oneday
• the next trip we will bring canned foood from Singapore for our lunchand some bottled drinks (hahaa)

Prior to the holiday, My bro met with an accident on late nov. Balqis had her 6 mth jab with her ah kong and nenek tagging along. The bro who left taiwan came back and could not get enuff of Taiwan and will be going off again in January.

off to sleep now. My pump session has ended and its another day at work later.

A Very Quick Nocember
