Happenings!

A series of events updates from 9 - 19 Sep:

9 Sep - A day of anxiety... From 9 am onwards, received news that I am needed to standby to meet HR. Abt 2 pm, after meeting HR, was told that I may need to standby for another meeting with my maybe-new boss-to-be... Waited, waited and waited until 6 pm, finally called in for the meeting... The feeling for the whole day of waiting was nervous, complicated, indecisive, and with a lot of 'what will happen to me next' After the meeting session, still carried the mix-feelings to home, and did not really sleep well for the night.

10 Sep - Went to visit Baby Megan during lunch time at the Bt Batok Polyclinic. Megan went for her jaundice check, and the reading was quite high, about 200 plus. Helped SIL bought the Avent Manual Breastpump ($98) and a pack (2o pcs) of the Breastmilk storage bag ($17.90).

11 Sep - Was busied over lunch hour, cos' got some invoice issues... Only had some bites of biscuits for lunch. In the evening, quickly rushed off to Chen Shifu's house at Woodlands, to collect Megan's Chinese name. Instead of the 艾佳which I have thought of, Shifu suggested that 靖婷is more favourable to Megan. Then, explored my way to meet buddy at the Admiralty Park's Sakura for dinner. Hubby joined only later after his work. So far so good, 2nd visit to this restaurant, the food are still fine with me... Enjoyed the dinner..

12 Sep - Brought GK for swimming at 8 am, and hubby left for airport at about 9 am. This was his first overseas business trip to Taiwan. Shiok lor... he got the opportunity to go Taiwan first before me... we ever discussed about visiting Taiwan together during our Pak-Tor days, but didn't manage to afford for such trip. Now that he went first, good for him to recee the place, and we can plan for our future trip together. In the afternoon, visited SIL and Megan, with a big claypot of the Black Vinegar which MIL has specially cooked for my SIL. Stayed for about 2 hours plus. Enjoyed carrying and cuddling Megan...so adorable...

13 Sep - Lazed at home... Enjoyed watching the '超级星光5’. MIL is also crazing over this programme together with me.... hahaha.

14 Sep - GK woke up early for school, and by 6.45 am, I had already sent them to the school gate. GK came back in the evening, and told me that they were the 2nd and 3rd in their class to reach the school. The first was Freddy, who came to school by school bus.

15 Sep - GK woke up early again, and we reached school by 6.35 am. Aha! This time they were early liao... but hor... fighting over to be the first in the queue. As expected, G got the first place. I was quite puzzled about why they wanted to go so early and queued right in front. At last, I got the answer... The form teacher has told the class that those boys in the first few of the class row, will be responsible to help her carry things/books as and when needed. So, GK were so eager to help with such kind of chores, and bear to sacrifice their sleeping time because of this... Megan went for her jaundice check, reading dropped to 199.

16 Sep - This time, they reached school by 6.30 am. As agreed, GK will take turns to sit in the first place of the row (if they are early). So, it was K's turn. Also, for this day, at about 4 pm, I received calls that I was successful in the new posting. Wow, that was too overwhelming for me! Cos' as at yesterday, was informed that there will be another person covering the post temporarily, and on top of that, there was another candidate nominated for this post. And I really got it! At that moment, mixed feelings arises again...started to worry about what's going to happen if I were to start on this posting... Am I competent enough?

17 Sep - GK reached school about 6.40 am, and they were 2nd and 3rd position. Another of the classmates also kiasu, came earlier to chope the first place... As for me, after meeting HR personnel to confirm the new posting, then got on busy to type out my current work description for handing over to my replacement who will take over my current position. In the afternoon, started to meet my new boss and learn from my mentor on the job which I will be undertaking... I simply cannot explain how my feelings were liao... very messy and complicated... but my mentor kept encouraging me to take it easy, and learn as much as I could before I officially be on my own wef 1 Oct.

18 Sep - No school for GK as it was PSLE Listening Compre. Reached office about 8.15 am.. damned it for the traffic congestion...Went up to my 'new office-to-be' to familiarise with the environment and things inside the office. Megan went for her jaundice check, the reading has dropped to about 14o. Then went for half day, to chauffeur Bro, SIL and Megan to KK for the birth registration and opening of CDA account. Megan so adorable.... GuGu (that's me) likes her so much!

19 Sep - Hubby reached home at 2 am. Then brought GK for their swimming lesson, then for Breakfast at Koufu. Today saw that there is new stall opening in the Koufu, selling Japanese cuisine. In the evening, packed back the Saba Fish set meal and Curry Rice Set Meal from this stall. Very long queue... food was nice...

Sunday and Monday will be public holidays! Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslims friends! And to all my Non-Muslims friends, have a good long weekend!

欢迎Megan!

Bravo to SIL! Kudos to her for her endurance in labour pain for the 4 hours in labour ward, and delivered Megan smoothly!

Sweet cutie pie Princess Megan! Welcome to the world, welcome to our family!

好紧张！好兴奋！好期待！

大嫂昨天早上开始有类似来经的感觉。。。

今早，也开始有阵痛了。

哥哥请了半天假，和大嫂一起搭德士去KK.

刚才拨电问候大嫂，她有力没力似的回应我，听似在哭泣。 我在电话的另一端也掉泪了。。。能感受到她的阵痛感。。。

大嫂，加油噢！
