16 Weeks of Maternity Leave in Singapore

It's really amazing to have 16 weeks of paid maternity leave in Singapore. Most companies in Malaysia only allow maximum up to 2 months = 8 weeks of maternity leave. My friend as a new comer to her company only enjoyed 4 weeks of maternity leave.

To me, I would of course prefer 16 weeks, but of course PAID leave... hehe... Could provide exclusive breastfeeding to my baby and do not have to worry of expressing milk problem in office, as what those mummies out there are experiencing now.

Anyway, it's still long way to go before I could have babiessss.... so maybe when it's my turn, Malaysia government also announcing 16 weeks or maybe more weeks maternity leave in the same time????!!! haha...

Ouucchhh!!!

Of course ouuuucccchhhh as loud as I could with 3THREE ulcers in my mouth now!!!! Not one, but THREE!!!

I myself also don't have any idea how these three ulcers sprouted out in the same time... sigh......

One on my left cheek position, one at the left bottom scissors position and one just on my upper lip...

The worst ulcers time I had becoz of the quantity THREE.

Couldn't open my mouth widely when eating and drinking as stretching of my cheek mulcer causes pain from all the three ulcers.

Wanna get this over soon... please....

How to balance myself off?

I am totally lost... totally lost in the way that I don't know to control and balance myself well...

I am trying so so so and extremely hard to forget bout J. Believe me... It's terribly hard for me and I have been having super duper hard and tough time. I have been avoiding to go home as I have too much memory with J at my house, such as all the photos, stuffs that he bought for me etc etc etc

Everytime when I thought I could let go him or have forgotten him for bit more, he would come into my dreams. Those sweet dreams really pull me back into my sweet memory with him. How to let go or forget him????? Sigh!@!!!!

I am still trying my very best to get myself occupied till super duper tired and hoping I would have dreamless whole night sleep. Hai...

Baby is coming soon...

Yes... Baby Jelidiah (her temporary name) is coming to the world some time middle of next month. Anyway, she is not my baby. As soon as she is born, she will be sent to those government welfare department as she is "unwanted" by her parents for dunno-whatever reason.

My uncle and aunty whom have been looking for a baby girl to adopt would be adopting her into their family.

Looking forward to see and play with Baby Jelidiah... and of course before she joins us, we are busying preparing baby stuffs...

Saturday...

Nothing much special about today actually.

As usual, I was working half day. Was bit annoyed by the "little monster". He was so lazy and refused to do his homework properly. Was about to smack him hard hard. Luckily my aunty came to rescue me from being violent. Little monster got lectured by aunty and uncle for hours. I believed his mum is lecturing him now too... hehe...

Prepared hearty lunch after work. Cooked some gon lau mien, fried sausages and also dory fillet. yummy yummy... :P

We all then went to my apartment to collect the baby cot, baby stroller, baby car seat and some clothes which I need to sort out before donating them out. Got no idea how those people spending their money. The previous owner ran away leaving his baby's things in the apartment for me. I still got quite a bit of "rubbish" to clear out. sigh.... not to mention bout the rest...that idiot left over more than 10 pairs of shoes for me to think and find way to donate out. Anyway, the apartment is more or less cleared, maybe only 25% left now to clear.

Today's weather is really hot and stuffy. I was sneezing so much after we left the apartment due to the dust. My aunty and me went to saloon to get our hair wash.

Then, my aunty started to prepare herself for wedding dinner while me and bro were going to a birthday party. It was my uncle's friend's son 1st birthday party. The food was not too great. Me and my bro were disappointed with the roasted lamb which the meat texture was rather funny. We didn't ate much and I left home while my bro headed to church for some gathering.

I'm now sitting in front of the tv for olympic highlight and also surfing...

This is my Saturday... not too much but rather tired and got bit headache..

My New Apartment (BEFORE)

06.08.08 I have officially bought one unit of apartment. Not meant for myself to stay (I got very good room and furniture in my parents' home), but actually for investment purpose.

Got it through auction. Not really too cheap but at market value. The previous owner had run away with his family and left over his personal stuffs and furniture in the apartment. He left me with lots to clean up once I got my loan done. I'm hoping that he won't come back to "disturb" me... hehe...

Anyway, not only cleaning up, I also need to get workers to do painting for the whole house, servicing of two air-cons, bits and pieces too......


Here are some photos of my apartment BEFORE cleaning and painting...

Will post more photos once I have "groomed" up the whole apartment.... :P

Got lots more to do... haiiiiya...

Me...

I have not been blogged for some time... not really in the good mood and also been ill recently.

Guess I need to admit that I'm growing older now. Been having sore throat and fever about 1 month ago. Recovered for 2 weeks then my illness back again. The illness lasted again for about 2 weeks. Already taken 2 courses of 5 days antibiotic which I was reluctant to at first, however no choice as my sore throat really turned bad. Been really careful of the food and amount of fluids I was taking. Just to make sure my illness won't be back for the 3rd time.

Soon not too long after my recovery, I got my period, a really heavy-flow one. I felt so weak and cramp that I need to skip my Sunday prayer last minute. I ended up lying on bed/sofa watching olympic sport programs, drama series and sleeping whole day. In the same time, my uncle's house was undergoing some renovation work, changing all the toilet outlets. Though minor renovation, the whole house still covered in dustssss (which I hate most). I myself felt so weak that I was so helpless to help. I helped with some floor mopping at the end anyway.

At night, so I was off to take away some food from Diamond Restaurant. I called them to order the food and they told me to collect after half an hour. Hence, I made use of that half an hour to buy some stuffs from supermarket and bread from bakery.

When I got to the restaurant, it was so crowded and a lot of people queuing also same time for their take-away food. My food was not prepared yet!!! Hence, I waited there standing for almost half an hour. Only my bro's fried noodle was ready, mine still not yet. I started feeling dizzy and felt shaky. My mind was blank and I felt like falling down anytime. I felt so stuffy and couldn't breath as it was so crowded. I told them that I couldn't wait any longer and would just take my bro's food. The waitress didn't even bother me at all. I was hoping so much that I won't fall down there.

Finally, I got my food. I felt time was so so long while walking to the car and wondering how I could drive back home safely. I rested few minutes in the car and prayed to God. Thanks God that I got home safely.

Oh God... when did I turn to be so weak? I thought I would be better after a night rest. I felt dizzy again today but it wasn't as worst as Sunday night. I'm hoping I'm weak just because of my period.

Dear God, please give me health... I have had lost my love and confidence on guys after my relationship with J. I want to live healthy and happily. I need strength... Please God!!! Amen...
