Friday, December 31, 2010 It's the last day of 2010 and I can't help but reminisce on the happenings during the past year. I have had many "FIRST"s in 2010 which had been very exciting, and fruitful for me. 1) My first flat, co-owned with Hubby, renovated and furnished to our liking. Although we bought the place in 2008, we only renovated and moved in after our wedding in December 2009. Finally we have a place we can call home. 2) My first time to Europe, for my 3-weeks honeymoon. I have never been to Europe and for our honeymoon, we went to London, Brussels, Austria, Italy (Venice, Florence, Sorrento, Capri Island, Rome), Switzerland (Lucern and Lugano) and Paris. I especially like London, Rome and Paris. If there is a chance, I will definitely go back again. 3) My first time training my staff from scratch with full mentorship. I finally learnt that in order for me to move and advance, I must have a VERY STRONG team, so with the new hire in March, I really put much effort in mentoring and training her. And with another staff's resignation in September, I am also doing my best to provide the necessary mentorship to this new hire who joined the company in October. 4) My first pregnancy. When I went to see my gynecologist for yeast infection during early August, the nurse heard my last menstruation date wrongly and did a pregnancy test on me, which tested positive for pregnancy. It was a shock to me and Hubby as I only stopped contraception in June and in fact, wanted to continue contraception again in August due to overwhelming work commitment on my end, hence not ready for a baby. Well, I guess it's destiny and we are very happy with this bundle of joy coming our way. So, I am a Mummy-To-Be and my expected due date is 10 April 2011 when I should see my baby boy. 5) Our first car, a 3 year-old Citroen C4, registered under Hubby's name. In view of my pregnancy, we decided to get a car. With the help of Mummy who loaned us half the selling price as down payment, we got this vehicle and took a 3-year loan. Hubby is servicing the car loan while I am repaying Mummy on the downpayment amount. I am glad we got the car as Hubby's workplace is really far and the car really helps a lot. Most importantly, as my pregnancy progresses, I try not to take public transport and Hubby has been fetching me. At times when I do take cab, due to the "F1 wannabe" drivers, I feel really sick too. Hubby has ben very accommodating in sending me to work and picking me up from work. 6) My first time doing prenatal massage. This is a completely different experience from the usual massage. While it is very expensive, I do enjoy the massage very much. Have been going diligently every 3 weeks and should be going every 2 weeks nearer towards my due date. 7) My first time experiencing acne outbreak (chest, back and face), swollen feet, extreme weight gain, fetal movement/baby kicks, water retention, appetite change, food preference change, lower backache and sciatic pain. All in the spirit of awaiting for my baby boy to come to this world. 8) My first adventure on baby stuff shopping began with the little life inside me. Shopped and bought stroller, car seat, baby cot, playpen, bedding sets etc. It does take lotsa readings and findings before a parent can decide the buys. Been really interesting. Labels: Random Monday, December 27, 2010 Since I badly wanted to go for a short trip this Christmas to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and Hubby's Birthday, we decided to have a short getaway in Malacca. While I would have preferred to board a plane to go somewhere to make it feel like a real holiday, many have been telling me not to due to my pregnancy. Oh well, I did heed others' advices afterall. We drove up to Malacca on Christmas Day morning via the Second Link. Mummy and cousin Sharon tagged along with us. The drive was less than 3 hours but due to the massive jam when we reached Malacca, we only reached Hotel Equatorial after 5 hours (yes, we were "trapped" for 2 hours from Malacca checkpoint to hotel). It was a relaxing trip and I did enjoy myself eating and spending time with Hubby. We stayed for 2 nights and left Malacca on 27th after lunch. Drive back was smooth and we had early dinner in Johor Bahru about 5pm before heading back Singapore.
