~GONG XI FA CAI~

9th Feb 2005:We celebrate our Chinese Lunar New Year.

Its 15 days of goodies, gambling & gathering, for me its more of dressing up.

Months b4 CNY, I have been cracking my brain on how to
dress up for myself, Hui and our home.

Got a couple of good buys for Hui but have overspent on mine, cos maternity dress are bloody expensive.

Hope it really looks good for what I paid for.

Visited my granny, and everyone was surprised with my
pregnancy coz I was already in my 7mths.

Chit-chat with my cousin, Michelle on my pregnancy. We
only meet once a year and many sometime twice.

She told me its easy to tell I m expecting a bb gal coz I look good and radiant to her. Heehee! so flattered!

Nevertheless, have a nice talk with her as usual.

Just a few hiccups questions from my another cousin, Hilyn with we are more distant.

10th Feb 2005:Meet up with Daryl, Jean and Huiling for Mac breakfast.

Got a call from Joyce, telling me her waterbag burst and was on her way to the hospital.

I was overwhelmed and excited for her.

Choi called me to ask how is Joyce coz she can't get her,
and I told her she might be in labor now.

We chit-chat awhile and I told her to try calling Joycetomolo.

Hui exchanged a few calls with Ken, finding out Joyce's situation, and we were told we can expect her bb in about evening.

I can't hide my excitement the whole day when I m at my mum's place.

At about 8plus, we heard from Ken again.

BB Russell is born and weighin 2.8kg plus, both mother and son fine.

Isn't he cute! Got big eyes!

11th Feb 2005:Went to pray @ Jurong, Da Bo Gong Temple with Lynn.

This year, ppl born in the year of rabbit "cheong" with Tai Sui.

Joyce called me and told me bits of her birth story.

She said she haven got strength to push that's why need touse vaccum to assist delivery.

Maybe due to no food intake for abt 8 hours since
admitting.

She took epidural coz contraction was really pain and bad. After hearing that, I guess I will be opting for that 75%.

After praying, we went home and prepared for our friend's
arrival.

First guests : Daryl and Jean.Then Ericia & Reese.

This years seem abit boring coz Gerard can't come to our house as her granny just passed away.

After everyone came, we play cards and not bad for this year, I been winning abit.

About late noon, Carnegie & Kyrene came. They are rare guests and really thank them for coming.

Kyrene looks good in her made to measure dress, she actually altered the design to wat she wan.

Its a shame! I din get her to take a photo.

Some of the contributors of my
mahjong earning, heehee!

Dun angry ok, take it as a "donation" for my baby's diaper fund.

We met Gerard for dinner and then let him followed us home coz he is like so poor thing.

I never been so lucky on mahjong table, I won $100plus that nite.

I think maybe I was laughing alot to Gerard stupid jokes and
thats why I am lucky.:)
