My Birth Story

It has been almost a year since I last touched this space. In case you have not known, Oppa and I welcomed our little not so little now bundle of joy this September. My pregnancy was one of the reasons why I was not able to update as I intended. I had extremely bad morning sickness which stuck to me all the way through my first and second trimester. It was so bad I lost 6kg as at 25th week into my pregnancy.

So what happened was, my EDD (estimated date of delivery) was 09/09/2017. I had an appointment with Dr ST Beh on the 30/08/2017 and I was supposed to see him again in few days' time for my CTG scan. On that very night, we were watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes and headed for bed at around 2am. As usual, I played with my phone and was about to sleep at 3/4 am. It was then I felt like I needed to shit. So I went to the toilet but after a long 'squeezing' session, I was unable to poop. I also started to feel a little discomfort, like constipating gastric pain. I headed to bed without thinking much but the pain just kept recurring. I started to wonder if it is contractions that I am experiencing. I started timing them. Dr ST Beh advised that once contractions are at 5 minutes interval, head for the hospital straight. Mine was 1.5 to 2 minutes interval. We were still unsure if it is true contractions and we stayed in bed till 545am, when we decided to head for the hospital.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATES

I realise the last time I made a construction updates post was back in January early this year. So here's a quick update. Images are taken from the Fb group so credits all my fellow neighbours ! Blocks D and C are starting to get their keys collected. I am hoping the key collection comes as late as end November or early December. So we can have more time to look at IDs and only start work after the Chinese New Year. Does not really make sense to collect keys now and then rush the IDs to complete the renovation works before CNY. Does anyone have any ID to recommend ? Cause honestly speaking, we have not done a single thing yet other than pinning photos onto my Pinterest.

POOR GIRL'S GUIDE TO PENANG

You would not believe how affordable this getaway was. Everything in Penang is so affordable that it should have been illegal HAHA. I think that only expensive part of the trip was the air tickets.

Total cost

To do a 3D2N in Penang, believe it or not, was under $300. We got our return air tickets from AirAsia for about $200 per pax. We paid about $50 per pax for our AirBnB. And we spent around $30 per pax while being there, living and eating like kings and queens. Oppa and I changed SGD300 to ringgit and was left with a lot of extra ringgit. Oh well, since we go to JB once in a while, I guess it is still not so bad.

MYTAINTEDWORLD TRAVELS : HONG KONG TRAVEL GUIDE

Travelling on holiday to a country for the very first time can be very exciting. You have a whole new adventure waiting for you, but there are two things that many of us would not like - (1) The idea of planning and (2) the feeling of foreignness. You have completely no idea what is awaiting you, how are the people like, how is the culture like and what should you avoid. Which is why I have decided to compile my guide to traveling in Hong Kong based on my own experience. Hope it will shed some light and pre-empt you what to expect when you visit Hong Kong the next time.

MY BBG JOURNEY WEEK ONE

Exactly a week ago, I embarked on a stringent workout regime and that is none other than the Kayla BBG Workout. I have followed Kayla on her Instagram for the longest time and I have always been inspired by how fit she is. I am not expecting myself to end up looking like her but I guess if I work hard enough, I should have some abs or at the very least, lose some fats and tone up abit.

But before everyone starts slamming me for being a bad influence, I just want to clarify that by my standard and frame, 54kg is considered quite massive and my tummy is indeed at my biggest. The weight may be a norm for many, and there will be people who are heavier than 54 kg and they are healthy. But no, that is not the case for me.

So here are some hideous photos to share before I continue. It took me a lot of courage and many days of hesitation before I finally decide to share:

ONE-DAY JUICE CLEANSE WITH DAILYJUICE

I am sipping on my final juice while typing out this entry. I have never been more than timely when it comes to updating this blog. Whatever happened to blogging once/twice a week man. I clocked like 15 posts in January and then the blog just died come February. Ok that aside, I am gonna be talking abit about my thoughts on the cleanse this time round.

OUR ACTUAL WEDDING DAY

I know I didn't talk much about my wedding since it happened in December. With the Korea trip happening right after the wedding, I didn't have much time to really sit down and write about the actual day itself. Since I have some time now, let me just share a couple of pictures and our wedding chapter finally comes to an end. Officially becomes even more irrelevant than it already is lol.

It has been a month plus since the wedding, the memories are all so vivid and I am extremely thankful that everything went so smoothly without a hitch ! All thanks to my amazing entourage and vendors who did a beautiful job. Not gonna find much words in this post (as usual) because I think the pictures tell the story of what went on that day so I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do ! And yes, there was as much fun and laughter as what you would be seeing (:

Anyway, my day started at 0630 which was consider pretty late I guess, especially when the husband is Teochew haha. We didn't go for any auspicious timing so the entire day's schedule was pretty much decided by our own.
