I'm in trimester 3 now and honestly almost 1 more month to go! Cw and I are hoping for the best that Leia comes out when she feels like it. But of course, my bag is almost packed in case she hafta be out next week! Breast pumps are even packed. Even cw's bath soap as we opted for a single room so he is staying overnight during my length of stay! <3

So far, in case some mummies-to-be are wondering what pregnancy is like - All I can say is, I only get to enjoy trimester 2. My whole trimester 1 was a nightmare and while trimester 2 saw me eating a lot and gaining the much needed weight (my pre preg weight is 40.7kg), trimester 3 was a bout of giddiness and nausea. I literally have to hold food in to avoid me from purging.

However, having said that, I must emphasise that ALL pregnancies are different. So please, it doesn't mean you guys will go through whatever I'm going through, I've resigned to fate that I'm just one of those unfortunate souls. But it's okay, the final lap is almost here. :)

Little lady's stuff has all been bought. I just need Cw to head down to the biggest baby fair in expo to get more diapers. We so far have 2 packs of NB (new born - I can't believe I'm in the mummy lingo now) which might only last us 2 weeks. But we daren't stock up on diapers as babies feed and grow up so fast, soon, Leia will be wearing size S/M and all the NB diapers will go to waste.

But okay, enough of babies stuff. All you readers would boycott my blog soon. 

Anyway, not sure if most of you guys know, TheClothesShopp (TCS) is moving to a .com soon! Live in sept! Dates TBC but I'll give a shout-out once we are nearing. Go and like our FB page and share it with your friends! :) 

Little men and little ladies clothes are on sale too! :) Despite all the shit I go through this pregnancy, this is what keeps me going:


And yes, to all customers - please wash baby clothes first before wearing on kiddos. Not that the clothes we sell on TheClothesShopp are dirty, but children's skin are really more sensitive! 

Okay! Gonna go and rest now! Shall blog about what's coming in store on TCS soon too! Find out what's boiling.. Stay tuned!

I can't sleep! The thought of giving birth next week is starting to freak me out. I've actually asked V "what if I don't love her? Like I'm gonna regret giving birth to Little Lady" but V said that she can totally understand where I'm coming from seeing that like me, she opted for abortion as well just that her Mil stopped it as they are against it.

Unfortunately for her, she's only living for her son now. So maybe I'm more fortunate in a sense where at least I have a hus who is in sync with me. Who can understand where I'm coming from, and if he doesn't, he'll make known to me his stand. But okay, enough about lovey-dovey shit. And I'm sure you guys are so darn sick and tired of pregnancy/baby stuff. So here's a pic of the vain me again. 


I kinda miss times when I can go out and partay, drink till I'm dead drunk (not missing the hangover part though), and do other girly things. But now, I'm facing more serious issues like responsibility! I believe that God has a plan for all of us, maybe he wants me to take up responsibility like anyone else! And yes, I really do hope I won't fail him. 

Please teach me how to be a good mummy! I just want Leia to turn out the EXACT opposite of me. That's all I ask for.

This is my life in a nutshell before Leia is born! Let's see how my life will be when my daughter comes into this world.


I'm an extremely happy girl today! Reason being: hus knows how to treat me well. Okay, I know every woman will be like "hello! That's the basics of a r/s" and yes I do admit, the fundamentals to a good and healthy r/s is one whereby there is mutual respect. And guys must always know how to treat a lady well. 

But after sat's quarrel when hus left the house and I just stayed in fuming, today I apologized to him. Yes, I put down my pride and said sorry! I know some girls might go "don't be ridiculous, a guy should apologise first" but I know pregnant or not, I shouldn't say accusing/hurtful things to my hus. 

When I saw my hus crying on sat, it broke my heart. But I felt happy, cause only a guy who truly loves you would do that. <3 So yes, FULL MARKS PLEASE TO MY HUS in the love department. Hahaha!!! 

This screen shot is how scared hus was on coming home. He wanted to go back to his mum's place as he thought that if I were to look at him, I would feel like strangling him and if he is using the computer to game, I would feel worse. So he thought that the space would do us good. But I of course thought otherwise, hence this convo:


My silly boy! All marriages go through shit but strong marriages will pass through shit! I'm glad mine did. Mind you guys, I even took off both my rings and threw it onto his side of the bed!! Yes, call me ridiculous, bitchy, ungrateful, fucking mean etc.. I can take those insults cause I'm in the wrong! And no, this time round, I'm not really blaming on pregnancy hormones. So it's fine. I'm admitting it myself.

But all's well that ends well. Today, he paid special attention to me (although he is still gaming as I'm typing this), asking if I need stuff and even got down to making the crib! Although the bed sheets are not made yet, but now we're compromising. Since he said it'll be a 1230am thingy then it's okay, I'll wait till 1230am for him to make the sheets. (in case you're wondering why a wife can't make the sheets that's because it's getting harder for me to bend down now that my belly'a bigger than ever)

So a peekture of hus fixing the crib:


And this is a very happy me now! 


Pics of the fatty me taken a few days back:



Gonna go and design some icons for the webby! Hope it'll turn out nice! :)

MFinally got down to downloading the blogger app! Convenience oh convenience! Had a major ballistic fight with hus. I cried, he cried. And now he is not back yet although it's 11:30pm. But it's okay, gives us me-time.

What can I say? I just feel that yes, maybe I should be a more understanding wife and stand in his shoes. It's not easy for a man to raise a family ON HIS OWN! Yes, I do know that. And I'm thankful that he has managed to do it. I just feel that there are some things that are worth giving. But people don't see it that way. Maybe they don't give that much so they don't see the need to. It's true isn't it? But that's your style not mine.

I don't understand why people want me to conform to their views. Very disheartening actually. I think I'm mentally exhausted and I'm actually giving birth in almost a weeks time. 

But today's crying has exhausted me out to a point where I'm at my lowest low. So whoever wanna add their insults, go ahead. I won't rebut back, I have no strength already. Honest! You guys should be happy ain't it? So really, be my guest! Call me names, go on. What will I do? I think I'll either cry or ignore you. But still, feel free!! (:

TheClothesShopp is making a move, in approximately 3 weeks time.

Yes, we're moving to a .com - More details will be up soon!

In the meantime, baby clothes have arrived. Mummies who ordered baby girl dresses and rompers will be getting them soon, by next week as I'm mailing these out tomorrow! :)


Mil is passing us more and more baby clothes. Apparently, some member from her religion has huge packets of baby girl stuff to throw. But when Mil looked through, ALL the clothes are branded and in good condition. So she's taking everything back to wash for Leia. VERY VERY GRATEFUL. Not that Leia needs branded clothes, but its the THOUGHT of my Mil and bf driving all the way down to get these bagful of clothes.

My mummy as well. She was passing by amk area and then she saw cute baby accessories - So she bought towels, 12pcs of blankets (I have no idea that Leia needs that much) and napkins (although I have diapers bought already). I'm waiting for the 19th to know if I need to be induce, and if I do, then I'll start all the washing of baby clothes next week to start packing my hospital bag.

Hus is getting excited for Little Lady's arrival. :)

So I'm progressing quite finely into pregnancy. It's weird as I'm starting to feel nauseous, akin to going back to good old days (aka trimester 1). As my pregnancy journey ends, some pregnancy myths I'm going to bust!

Myth 1: No scissors is allowed. (Why? Cause your baby will have cleft lips)
I've been using the scissors and even sat on my bed to use the scissors. At 20 weeks, when we went for a full detailed scan of the baby, NO BIRTH DEFECTS! So no cleft lips, no out-of-shape stuff. :)

Myth 2: Pregnancy will make you fat
Before I start on this sensitive topic, ask yourself what's your definition of fat. Some ladies have phobias of triple chin, fat thighs, round face, flabby arms etc. The list can go on. But for me, if you ask me, gaining weight doesn't mean fat, WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT. Pregnant ladies needs the fat to sustain her baby. And this is me when I'm 8mths pregnant.

A clearer picture would be:

Yes. My face grew rounder!! But I have people telling me that I finally look more human. @_@! So all, in all, it really depends what fat means. Proud to say that I don't have flabby arms and thunder thighs, but everyone, I have to add the word YET. I'm nearing 30, which means that soon, my metabolism rate would dwindle too. For ladies who really thinks that pregnant means FAT. Then, really, do what I'm doing - WALK. As long as I'm out, I walk as much as I can. Tones up those thighs anyway right?

I have other myths to burse but that would take place after pregnancy. Hope these two myths will be good enough for now. :)

Back to cuter stuff, I was trying out Line with Cw, and this is how we communicate:

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Alrighty! Time to go off!! Bye minions! =X

Food Review - Suriya Curry House

This blog should only fit happier post now. Time for another food review -

Chanced upon this curry house by accident. However, once we stepped out of the car, Cw was all "THIS IS THE SONG KEE FISHBALL HOUSE" So I was getting all excited, but song kee was closed. DAMN!! @_@

Seeing no choice, we had to make do with the Suriya curry house just next to song kee. So bryani it was. I didn't think much of the mutton bryani that I chose deeming it as "another bryani cuisine". However, this curry house made me THINK TWICE!

Pictures can't tell viewers much, you guys gotta go down and consume this for yourself. :)


If you notice something different, its the onion salad. YES! That's how Indian cuisine should be done. Onion salads goes well with Naan too, actually. Maybe because Singaporeans are not that used to the authentic taste, most prata stalls do not have the onion salad to go with their food.


Do not belittle this dish as it is a huge portion. Can't really remember the pricing but think it cost SGD$8? But even so, cw and I agreed that its totally worth it. Sometimes its not the price of the food that matters but the quality. You can pay $3 for a lousy dish but it does not satisfy you at all. So what's the point in doing so.

And this is me now getting the runs. Pregnant mummies, please do not fall sick during pregnancy. You might not be able to avoid it, but if you can, then really, STAY HEALTHY!
