The thing is, Doc cant see when open up my mouth...he said in a way it's good. But bad becos can't see what it is. Might be ulcers. Cold sores is in the mouth ah..mine is at the sides..but inner side of the throat...so cant really see...dats y duno what exactly it is! Really getting worse by the min. When i move my throat muscles to talk, it hurts too! Hellp!! hahaa...Doc gave me some medicine for pain and phlegm, those usual medicine for the usual sore throats. Does eating ice cream really helps? Means i must stay away from warm water>?
If it's tonsils, what did Marnie do to keep them away? U know?

Yooo hooo!
Huichin,
How's your throat? Still bad? Juz like Marnie, I've got tonsilitis b4. But had a tonsilectomy, so now have no such prob. Basically, drink lots of cold water to numb the throat.. best is ice cold. Best thing about this tonsilitis is that the best medicine is to eat lots of vanilla ice-cream. Idea is to make sure that your throat are kept moist at all time to reduce the pain.
Cuclainne,
How's Peanut doing? I missed my kids kicking me inside..kinda give you that bonding with the baby inside when u're preggie.

Good morning!
Aiye...so sorry Girls cos' everything was chaotic last week. Took half a day leave on Friday to go for my 1st appointment at HDB and everything went by a whir then last night came back --> darn disappointing and aggravating watching the games lah. But the good thing is at least I came home to a letter from HDB approving the resale transaction - sooo yipppeee! A project is calling me again...
Chin, confirm we go lunch next week to exchange some mags. I'm okay anyday next week lunch from 1-2pm. Ok with you?
Hi Elaine - been so long since you're last here man.....what have you been up to?
Cuclainne, I got my Royal Card Fabric like a month back or so. They sent to my mom's so I have it with me. How come they called you to collect? Did you not provide a mailing addy last time?
Ally - how's the work situation? Drama all subsided already?

Hui Chin, hope you're feeling better today. If it's tonsillitis, eat ice cream .. but don't go overboard and just eat ice cream all the time yah .. heheheh .. try to stay away from spicy foods, might aggravate it.
Elaine, Ally .. Peanut is kicking and doing somersaults occasionally. Sometimes when I'm trying to sleep, she is really active .. so naughty! I went for my check-up this morning and the doc said Peanut is too small!! He said her heartbeat is going strong but if she doesn't grow soon, it might be an indication of other things to come.. Oh no!
Marnie, you went and came back already???? I thought you're heading for your honeymoon at the same time. Wah ... you must be having jetlag yah .. back to work already?? I can't even remember signing up for one but it must be when I visited the store with you and Hui Chin yah. I'll email them my address then ..

Cuclainne,
Yup, no longer operating the childcare centre. But in the process of looking around to open another one in Subang instead. Yup as sunnyday as said, durian is good but too much it may be very heaty.
My mum ate alot of durian during her last 2 pregnancy ( my kid bro and sis only 10/11 yrs old now). What I noticed was when my bro n sis were delivered, their skin were very wrinkled and peeling off but they are very healthy. I had cravings for durian when I was pregnant with my son. But I did not indulge on my cravings back then so.. my son did not have the same symptom as my siblings.
During both my pregnancies, my gynae is on the kiasu side, she gave me pramilet, folic acid, iron and calcium tabs. Maybe it's due to my low blood pressure and also I hate to drink milk during pregnancy.

Cuclainne, nope. Just a couple of days there. It's darn hot in the summer - much more than Singapore. I can't imagine full blown summer in Italy early August. Hmmm...
London/Italy will be 28th onwards. Well, technically, I'll fly off to London on the night of 28th so still going to work on that day and off to the airport straight after work.
Ally, oh....sorry to hear about the child care centre. But..on a brighter side of things, you get to spend a bit more time with your kids outside of the work environment.

Marnie,
I'm not bitter abt the childcare. Wat I missed was the kids' hugs and smiles. Anyway, I've got to catch up with things at home. At least, I would take this as an opportunity for me and hub to have couple time again.haha!
Hui Chin,
Yup, I had a tonsilectomy. So far, after the op, I don't get frequent sore throats and fever. But the down side of it is.. I wouldn't know my body is infected by any virus till the very last minute.

Ally, if you open a centre at Subang, does that mean you'll be moving there too? Wah!! We will miss you leh!
I don't know - my doctor never prescribed me anything else. I love drinking milk, especially the full cream ones. I can drink one box at a time .. hehehehe.
My mom loved to eat guava when she was pregnant with my brother .. even if got worms also, she would cut away the piece and still eat. That's why we always used to say my brother is like the worm .. hahahaha! I heard that drinking coconut juice in third trimester is good for baby's skin yah?
Marnie, I thought you are enjoying the warm sunshine there already .. wondering about the Piazzas and browsing through LV stores ... hehehehe .. wah, very soon yah - you'll be jet-setting off again! Lucky you!
Hui Chin, you're trying to tell us that you're allergy to your work environment, is it? Kekekeke .. that's why la, you work too hard. Cannot spend more than 8 hours a day in the office otherwise you might come down with more than just a sore throat .. like more work!!!

cuclainne,
You can only drink coconut juice at the later stage. Probably around your 30th week and above etc. Not too early. According to my parents, coconut juice is "sejuk". So cannot drink too often because will affect your bones. You might get "simpul biawak". The reason to drink the coconut juice is not because of the baby's skin but to cleanse the scalp. So when you deliver the baby, the baby won't have too much dried blood on his scalp. This is what my parents told me lah...
Whether you want to believer or not, up to you lah...
But anyway, i just followed my parents instructions. My baby didn't have much dried blood. In fact, his scalp quite clean.
Ally,
Miss out..... you moving to KL????!?!!?

IC, Hui Chin,
Haven't move to KL yet lar - not so soon either, now still in the process of applying PR.
Cuclainne,
I agree with what IC had said. I noticed that both my children's scalp are very clean - no blood nor any slimy/sticky stuff on it. Maybe it's the coconut juice..
Oh dear, u kena simpul biawak already? Better to sleep with socks on also. To keep you warm. My granny advises me not to sleep with your leg hanging out at the side of bed. Some pantang that I followed so that the delivery will be smooth.

That's what my mother advises me to do but it's like a sauna in the bedroom. Ah Boy wants it to be kept at 26 degrees with low fan - how to sleep like that? Usually I end up kicking away my blanket so I don't perspire - he sleeps so snugly under his blanket like no one's business.
Cuclainne,
It's ok to have the aircon on..but i noticed that if you have fan on too..don't let it blow directly to you. That's when you will have the tendency to have simpul biawak (juz my hypothesis - it happened to me a few times when the fan blew directly on me).
But when checked with my gynae, she said that it's a symptom of lacking in calcium. So you may juz need to feedback with your gynae regarding your leg cramps.

You are right, Hui Chin. Last time you just need to watch out for yourself but after marriage, there's two ..
How are your Korean language lessons coming along, Ally?
Marnie, I just came across this magazine while visiting Borders a few days ago. It's by Donna Hay [http://www.donnahay.com.au] - she's like the Australian version of Martha Stewart. I have one of her books but didn't know she has a magazine - very nice!! Thinking of subscribing to it .. hehehehe ..

Hey hey Girls!
IC, I'm around but been dang busy with work. Have about 8 more days to go before I leave for my "official" honeymoon. Have a countdown ticker in the office so everyday I look at it anticipating that day.
Cuclainne, oh yeah. I read her mags in Borders usually. Hers and "O" and Martha Stewart's mags. At this point, can't suscribe to anything cos' will be transitting and I don't want to lug all those mags around the places --> troublesome lah.
Wah wah wah Ally, very the soap opera....! Got distracted by the korean hunks' chiselled good loooks or not?

Ally, so clever!! That's your story and you're sticking to it, right? Hehehehe ..
Yeah, I suppose you're right, Marnie. Best to only subscribe to things after you've moved, yah. When is that, by the way?
Now feeling so domesticated, want to bake cupcakes leh .. don't know how it'll turn out but never know unless I try yah .. hahahaha. Ah Boy tried to bake rye bread yesterday - the kitchen looks a right mess but he cleaned everything up so I can't complain. The crusts were burnt but the bread was good .. even though I know he messed up the measurements.
