It is confirmed! Wait, wait, wait... Dun congrats us.
No, I am not preggy. Yes, my menses went MIA for awhile but nope, I am not preggy.
It is just confirmed that we are going to try for a 2nd kid. Hohoho. I just went to the gynae yday to get hormone pills to get my menses back so that I can go on pills to make myself ovulate.
We took 9 months to conceive S. There seems to be less stress this time, maybe bcos we already have S.
Pls pray for:
- Patience
- Energy (hahahaha)
- Smooth pregnancy
Actually, it took great courage to attempt again since the last pregnancy was so eventful. I know I am at high risk for pre-eclampsia or at least pregnancy-induced hypertension. Also, there is a risk of having another preemie. People used to say that every pregnancy is different, I hope if we do make it, this coming one will be better.
Ahhh... I feel old and tired already. Hohoho.

Goodbye Jazzie, Halow Tiguan
Daddy Lim has been off cigarettes for the longest time in his life! 3 cheers for Daddy Lim! As promised, he has bought for himself a new car, the Tiguan. Daddy Lim picked slate grey but changed his mind a week later, worrying that slate grey will turn out looking like champagne. But too bad, it was too late to change the colour. So, Daddy Lim spent the remaining time worrying and hoping that slate grey doesnt look too bad. Hmmm, did you say that women are fickle-minded? -.o"
We are finally collecting Tiguan today. Again, we tried to tired out princess to ensure that we have a smooth car collection. According to Daddy Lim, there are alot to check and learn. In fact, he drew out this list of things to check and ask but was too gan cheong and actually left the list in the office. Haha.
So, we made our last journey in Jazzie to Leng Kih Road. We took some last pix of Jazzie. It still look just as handsome/ pretty as Day 1. Jazzie was our pride then. Jazzie even appeared in our wedding photos and was our bridal car wor.
The whole car view.
The interior - front.
And the back, where I and Lil Shauna will spend more of our time in.
And the boot. Big... Oh, not for short people, bcos the door goes sky high.
Our virgin ride was pretty comfortable. I kept asking Daddy Lim if he was alright as this is probably one of the few times that he has driven an auto car.
Daddy Lim has set some rules for Lil Shauna.
1. No shoes on the new leather seat;
2. No dropping of food in the new car;
3. No spilling of drink in the new car;
4. No wiping of dirty/ sweating/ saliva-filled hands anyway;
5. No "eating" of leather seat; and
6. No leaving of finger/ hand prints on the windows.
But Lil Shauna wins, once she was bored, she asked for her shoes and was up jumping and bouncing in the back seat in her squeaky shoes. Then she mis-cue while eating bread and dropped crumbs and a big raisin on the seat. Then she happily stuck her fingers into her mouth while still chewing on her bread. So you can imagine what happen to her finger when it came out of her mouth and you know where that finger will go. Hohoho. Champion.

But heartless Daddy Lim only cares about his Tiguan now. Pui! Boohoo. Bcos Tiguan is bigger, stronger and more chio. The slate grey turns out a lot much better than what Daddy Lim had expected. Not at all champagne lookalike. I can see Daddy Lim go "phew" at the instant that he saw Tiguan. Hoho.
Anyway, while Daddy Lim was busy learning about Tiguan, I was busy snapping blog materials.

Mclaren Volo
I think we need a new stroller. Yes, Lil Shauna chooses not to sit in the stroller many times and the existing Combi stroller is still working fine. Well, one of the wheels seems to be giving way but it is generally workable. Hehe. But I think she need one of those big girl stroller, those with only one or 2 sitting position and is light and sturdy. I had been shopping a little and was wondering if I should get those cheapo ones.
After doing some surfing, I am so sure that we should get a new stroller. But instead of a cheapo one, I was trying to decide between Mclaren Volo or a lightweight Combi one. Both weighs only 3.9kg. The stroller will come in handy when we are in Melbourne. After nagging for the longest time, Daddy Lim gave in and sent us to the Baby Hypermart in Kaki Bukit. Yes, you heard me right, we drove all the way from the West to the East, just to get a stroller. But we purposely picked Lil Shauna's nap time to drive down so that we can have a peaceful ride. Well, Daddy Lim was a little sore about losing his afternoon nap though. Hoho.
I am glad that we went down cos we got to try out the different kind of strollers. There were so many different brands and patterns. After trying out, I was even more convinced that we should get the Mclaren Volo. Not only is it light, sturdy, it is also in a pretty PINK!
Tadah!

I was actually worried that Lil Shauna will refuse to sit in it. But maybe bcos it cost us quite a bit, we were more heartless to her pleads to be out. Haha. After awhile, she quite enjoy sitting in her new stroller.
Woohoo. We must really get her used to it so that she will guai, guai sit in her new PINK stroller when we are in Melbourne!Mummy Lim
Lil Shauna is scared of...
It is amazing what kind of stuff can frighten Lil Shauna. For a while, she was frightened of bubbles and cling on to me with her dear life when the teacher played bubbles during her tumbletots class. Recently, she's afraid of balloons after one burst in front of her. Well, she still quite like bubbles and balloons, just that she doesnt like them too close to her face and feet. Dun ask me why.
You know what is the best? Her being super afraid of the swimming float. -.o" She refused to sit in one of those fanciful big ones and appear to have monsters on her arm when we strapped those round ones on her arms. Haiz...

Lil Shauna can Count!
Lil Shauna has this book with numbers and we will count with her when she "nah" the book to us. Recently, she had been playing hide & seek with her cousins and it always start with counting from 1 to 10.
One day, we realised that she can continue counting after we said "one". To her, it probably isnt counting but basically rattling some words that she had memorised after hearing them so often. But we are so thrilled.
This video starts with her fighting with Felicia over toys as they usually do. But if you listen carefully, towards the end, you can hear her counting.
Hehehe, we are so proud of her. But... I dun want her to be mathematician leh. Hohoho. I think I think too much liao.

Rabbit Ears
My bro's family is shifting to a condo - Centris wor, dun play, play wor. The unit will be much smaller than their existing HDB but the condo comes with a super big and beautiful pool. Lil Shauna loves swimming or walking in the water. As such, my mum had asked me to purchase an extra set of swimming costume to be kept in my bro's place to facilitate swimming during their free time.
Daddy Lim always forbid me to buy clothes with "ears" for Lil Shauna. But this particular set of swimming costume is too cute to resist! For your infor, it is a rabbit hor.
Arrgghhh, my Hp camera is too slow to capture the pretty, bouncy bunny. Cute, right? Hehe.I need a new phone.

The Taxi Uncle who Got Lost
This night shift (Daddy Lim's) is bad. I took so many cab home this month bcos Daddy Lim used the car and our timing just dun match. Most of the time, I didnt manage to hitch a ride home. Otherwise, I will be tempted to share a cab with colleagues bcos they are getting a cab and it will be the fastest way home. Cab fares are horrible. From yard to home, it will cost at least $12 bcos I need to call cab. No taxi uncle in the right mind will drive to Tuas to find passengers mah.
Tonight is one of those nights where there is nobody whom I can hitch a ride from. So a colleague and I shared a cab home. She got a cab almost instantly but I was held up, trying to finish a last email. When we finally walked to teh pick up point, the cab had already left. So we tried to call for other cabs but there were simply no cabs! Serve us right cos we were late for at least 10 mins. ;p Yes, my bad. We then tried the different taxi company, listening to the on-hold music for at least 10mins before we finally got a cab.
We waited anxiously and then the taxi uncle called. Apparently, he a brave taxi uncle. Bcos he is not familiar with Tuas and he has no GPS yet he dares to take up our call lor. Despite us crossing our fingers, he still got lost. We gave him general direction and waited somemore. Then he called again. He was even more lost and we have no idea where he is. He said that he will try somemore. Mins later, he called for the 3rd time. Yes, he was seriously lost and have no idea where he was. -________-" Win liao lor.
We had to call for cab again but managed to get one after about 5 mins. Actually, the lost taxi uncle was quite nice. He was trying to help us radio for a cab after getting lost and even smsed my colleague to apologise lor. At least he makes us feel better having to wait for him. :)
Uncle, pls buy GPS, good for you. Cheap, cheap niah.

The Fruits of the Spirit
Awwww... I am tired. Just one more entry before I hit the pillows. Daddy Lim and the baby are already warmly wrapped up in the air con room. I had been wanting to blog about these entries recently bit simply no time. So now I blog all at the same time lah.
I have always pride myself as a boss who doesnt scold my staff. However, I realised that when I am under stress, my fuse gets really short. There had been many times that I actually scold my girls. The frequency and intensity increases so much more when my boss was on maternity leave.
It hurts a little when my girls feedback that I am becoming fiercer and more and more like a boss. Actually, I feel that way too, but it always hurt more when you hear it from somebody else mah.
Just that day, I heard Daddy Lim talking in a uber stuck-up attitude to a contractor and it made me realised that the person at the end of the line must have felt like s**t. I feedback to Daddy Lim too. Anyway, the important point is that I made a mental note to actually watch my language.
Galatians 5:22-23 (New International Version)
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Just a few days ago, on 3 different days, on 3 different occasions, from 3 different persons, I received feedback that I am:
- Hostile
- Fierce
- Must watch what I say.
Win liao lor. My heart just bled. -.o" Apparently, that mental note didnt help a single bit.
All the more I think I have to watch what I say now.
How to be "gentle" huh?
Lord, I want to bear these fruits bcos you have given me the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

What do they eat?
I had a very interesting conversation with my mum a few days ago.
It is now the Ghost Festival and my mum was talking me about her plans to pai my Dad. Daddy Lim's Dadz just passed on not too long ago and my mum realised that we didnt make any pai pai plans.
So while walking home (or reaching home) from my bro's place one night, she asked.
Mum: Errr.. you all Christians no need to pai, pai one. So what do they (those who had passed on) eat huh?
Me: *Roll eyes* We dun believe in that lah. To us, they are not really dead, but asleep and they will all wake up on the day that Jesus comes again.
Mum: Ahhhh... So when will Jesus comes?
Me: Nobody knows de.
It didnt strike me at the moment that I could have shared more with her. Yes, I know they are excuses but we had just walked back from my bro's place with 2 babies, 2x 1.8kg milk powder and a toddler who was sitting on her tricycle but refused to peddle all the way. We had to push her the entire journey. I was panting and perspiring like mad while trying to open the door + trying to answer her answers.
Aiya... I hope I get more of such opportunities in the future.
