cue sticks and flying cockroach

a few nights ago, in the middle of the night, i received a phone call from my sis asking me if i can come out of my room. i was already happily sleeping away and so do not wished to wake up. so i asked her what is it and she just kept repeating, can you come out?

so very grudgingly, i stormed out of my room and this was what happened.

me: what?!! (very grouchy)

sis: there's a cockroach in my room! (i was very sleepy at this time but i think i notice a cue stick in her hand)

me: then what you want me to do?!

sis: chased it out lar. i scared of cockroach!

me: aiyo, just a cockroach what! go and sleep lar!

sis: but i cannot sleep with the cockroach in my room! help me chased it out leh!

me: (at this point, i was very pissed at her because its just a bloody cockroach which you can crush under your feet what) where is it?

she pointed over to her rack of clothes and i went over, took a pair of jeans, gave it a little shake and went back to my room. all the while thinking, wah lau wake me up just for this!

what happened to the cockroach after this i do not know. i only knew i went back to sleep grumbling and promptly knocked out immediately.

and when i woke up in the morning, she had moved her whole rack of clothes out into the living room. how smart.

perhaps its time to clean your room lar lil sis. anyway i still love you regardless of your cockroach fear or 'sweet smelling' clothes and your blog on this just cracks me up.

time spent

ok, i shall go sit with you and watch tv. but i like it more if i can go to sleep now, hee.

heartbeats

we heard your heartbeat for the very first time today. its a strong steady heartbeat. and we know that this heartbeat is beating for its own. not for me, not for daddy, but for yourself. to know that this heartbeat of yours is going to conquer many of life challenges and savour every life's sweetness.

till we see you again, we love you!

mee sua and pork with seaweed soup

sometimes the thought of food will get the cravings going. yesterday during church service, an image of wanton noodles pop into my mind! ooh piping hot noodles drenched with gravy and light chewy pieces of char siew and fresh wanton keep popping into my mind. i could really taste them in my mouth!

so after service, when the great where-to eat question came up, i suggested wanton mee, ha! but the husband was'nt so enthusiatic about it. he wanted to eat western fare like steaks and pasta and i'm guessing this baby of ours is really a pure chinese at heart, cause all i ever want to eat these days are chinese food and soup.

so after much discussions, we went to this super delicious family run chinese eatery where they served the most delicious mee sua, yum yums! and they have this salty pork seaweed soup thats like the ultimate pregnant soup man, ha!

we went with shijie, keon and faith (she's pregnant too) so anytime we really want to satisfy our craving, we're each other's pregnant partners in persauasion for the others to eat what we like to eat!

hmm but now i'm off to eat macdonalds! unhealthy i know, but i'm tasting the tar tar sauce in my mouth! hahahahahahaha...

thats hot!

its times like these that i just want to sleep the day away with the air-con full blast. i'm self indulgent in this way.

friends

the guys came over for some drinks appreciation night. it was funny, loud, sponteneous but most of all heartwarming as they've known each other close to 10 years. they've watched each other grown up through the school days, to getting jobs and also to settling down with their own respective life partners.

i guess guys bond over soccer and drinks and in between, macdonalds's home delivery too, ha. its always a joy to hang out with them. never a dull moment, especially when mrs tan wants to start playing games!

and on monday, mrs koh came to keep me company. we spent the whole day just watching tv and talking. we also watched the movie, secret which i've always enjoyed and she being the second last person to watched it! (think the last person to watch is your husband!) ha.

it just nice having friends around. friends who are willing to go through life's journey with you. friends whom you can have fun and also tell it to your face you sucked sometimes. friends who picked you up, friends who reached the destination with you, friends that become your life partner, friends who say never to give up, friends who show you what love is and friends who are friends with you, just because you are you.

to friends, cheers!

of murphy's and cards

i think it is a case of murphy's law. while i've been happily telling people that i have no morning sickness whatsoever, grouchy old murphy is subtly trying to barge in.

its not the merlion kind of puke, more like these weird sensation in the throat that you're not sure if its coming or not. and the worse thing is to be stuck halfway inside! yucks!

and the husband thinks i'm playing my pregnant cards very well. because everyone has been giving me alot of attention. and maybe subconciously i'm playing along with everyone else too, ha! or he's just jealous.

well, if he sees me waking up early in the morning, he will tell me to go rest somemore, or if i just give a tiny sigh, he will tell me to go lie down!

and currently the house is in quite a mess, as i'm not allowed to do any housework. no laundry, no mopping, no sweeping, no rearranging of furniture, no nothing. just lots of rest and sleep. i feel like i'm the baby right now.

hmm, i wonder if i do play my cards right, if the husband will get me a new present? ha!
