24 giugno A New PlaceFinally, I have a home of my own and I am so glad for the open spaces right now. I can't believe I have accumulated so much 'rubbish' staying with my mum. I've bought so many drama VCDs, books etc.. that it filled up almost 8-10 boxes. Luckily, all the packing and unpacking were done by my dear husband and my sister's helper helped, I just supervised...kekeke..
Then, my in-laws came to stay with us for a week. We cooked, ate and watched tv programmes together. It is kind of empty and the place seems too big for just two of us. I am already missing my in-laws and wonder when I am going to meet them. 30 aprile Looking forward to another phase of my life Kekeke wish I had good news to share but not that type of good news... Well, we've finally went for our first HDB appointment a few weeks ago and will be getting our keys on June 12. Then we are moving to our new place on June 15. We've have started to look around for furniture and some necessary household electrical appliances. Can't wait to start our couple life (finally) But now... it's marking time..... 17 marzo First time driving on my ownwhoa!... It was really exciting to drive on my own. I've got my license almost 2 years ago but I do not have the chance to drive much. Even when I do have a car (my brother's) and when my hubby is around, I can't drive (he can't trust my driving).
Today... today... today... I managed to drive on my own without any passengers... ha ha ha... but luckily I was so relaxed so I enjoyed the time on my own.
Hmmm... makes me wish to own a car even more... but I have to settle my housing first! Ok... next material target: get a car!!!!
06 gennaio FrustratedI was actually late for 3 days but still AF came to destroy my dream of carrying my own baby.
Had fever (for the first time in many years), cough, running nose and very bad gastric the day before I was supposed to do a HPT, I can't even sleep well that night. Was supposed to visit the doctor that Saturday, since HPT was negative and no AF, I suffered the running nose, cough and headache over the weekend.
When AF came, there were big blood clots and it's heavier than usual.
When I visited a traditional Korean physician, he felt my pulse and told MIL that my womb is cold. Same thing that my DH suspected I have. How does it affect pregnancy? I've gone through tests after tests in KKH and I was certified okay, nothing wrong, but why is it so difficult to keep it alive?
I am getting very frustrated in trying. In fact, this time I will try one more cycle on clomid and taking any herbal supplements, I even told myself not to take my BBT so that I don't add the stress (frankly I am not stressed taking the temp every morning!).
Anyway, if having gastric problems is because of my 'cold' womb then I must have it for a long time already. I always have gastric especially when I am stressed. Whenever I get gastric problems I can't sleep at night because I have to sit up and burp out the gases several times. When I started tracking my BBT, I started to realise that it usually happens when I am near ovulation or menses, it would be more chronic when I am stressed. When I was pregnant for the first time, the gastric was so terrible for so many days until the day I miscarried. (come to think of it the previous cycle too)
What am I to do now? My NPL is nearing an end and I am still trying... sigh... 21 dicembre Argh... Had HCG shotsHad a HCG shot (in fact two for each butt) two days ago, that was supposed to help my eggs in the ovary to mature within 24 hours. My ovaries responded quite well to the clomid given by the doctor, so he decided to hasten the maturity by doing the shot. If he did not give the shot, my dear hubby has to try every other day, kekekeke, and he is so stressed about it.
Yesterday, did an OPK test and it was positive. So we hope for good results in 2 weeks time. Otherwise, I may have to undergo more tests to see what's wrong with my body... aaahhh... maybe it's my hubby's problem.. and he refused to go for checkup ... sigh...
To help me conceive faster, I had to drink a very bitter herbal drink everyday... yuck....but it was my mother-in-law's good intention. In fact the whole family is looking after my well-being so that I can be a healthy mom during my pregnancy. I really hope that I can give them good news this coming new year.
Now I can only pray and wait.... 08 dicembre Drinking traditional medicine and morning exercisesMy Korean mother-in-law knew that I was trying so hard for a baby so she made a herbal drink, which supposedly help to strengthen the womb and keep the womb warm. However, it is really bitter. I had a hard time drinking it. After the first glass, I went to the kitchen to eat some sugar. My hubby insisted that I should drink the second cup, I tried but I really need the help of eating a little bit of sugar.
The third time round, my husband mixed it with a previously homemade pumpkin/apple juice and it tasted much bettert least I don't need my hubby's cajoling to drink the medicine.
Since my aunt came, my hubby has also started to go for morning exercises with me. For a non-sports person, this is indeed TORTURE ahhh..... but the sake of having a healthy baby, a healthy pregnancy, I will have to do it. Just hope that taking all these measures will ensure a postivite, happy and healthy pregnancy.
Baby ah.... come to momma! 06 dicembre Sigh... got a "please try again" signSheesh.... finally my aunt came to visit me. I informed my hubby immediately and we visited the doctor here. I was given Clomiphene Citrate 50mg and to be taken from 10 Dec onwards. Then I have to visit the doctor again on the 19th. Sigh.... the road to pregnancy is really difficult.
05 dicembre I'm in South Korea and it's snowing nowLast year when I was back in my South Korea home (okay, my hubby's hometown) I waited the entire month and there was not even a speck of snow. Today, the wind was really strong and the snow came down fiercely to cover the area rather quickly. But according to my husband, this snow will not last very long, just a few more days then the temperature will go up again.
Anyway, I am very happy to see snow because it reminds me of my university days in Birmingham. To me, snow has this effects of covering everything white and making it really bright. It's like God's way of saying, "Everything is forgiven and made white (pure) again." That's the most beautiful part of winter, the fresh snow and untouched landscape.
But the aftermath is horrible. After the snow melts, the road would have sludge and it is slushy and makes it very slippery to walk on. Everything becomes black and grey, all over again.
On this snowy day, I might have news that says "Please try again!" If AF comes, I have to visit the doctor again. This time to get medication to stimulate the ovaries. Hopefully, we'll be successful the next round. At the meantime, my dear hubby is already planning my new diet and excercise plan... sigh... aaahhhh....
Oh dear ex-4C1 pupils, I haven't upload the photos yet, just wait a little while more okay?
For the moment, I just need to learn to relax... (kekeke learning how to knit a sweater from my mother-in-law) 15 novembre Excitement bubbling over...Although I know I probably have to work like a bull next year (happens to be Year of the Ox), I am bubbling with lots of ideas and activities I would love to carry out in EBS and/or EL classes. Of course, in the midst of all, I do hope I am able to start a family too. That's why the bubbling effect...
But before I can carry out anything, I must be totally rested.. kekeke... I am going to ask for a month long leave to try for a baby. Well, my doctor did advise me to try for at least 3 cycles. So I am really going to take that I advice. Dear Lord, please let my big boss agree to my NPL, thank you!
As we had sharings, retreats and so forth, my head is reeling with ideas and wish I could do many, many things for my pupils too! Teaching has really become more exciting for me (again!) And I thought I lost it a little while ago...
Really looking forward to next year!  10 novembre Yesterday...Grandma called me yesterday and wanted me to go to her place to see and take away some old photographs. I guess grandma has been lonely since my grandfather has passed away and she does not have to look after him, so she has been cleaning up her flat. I didn't go yesterday, but went to see her immediately after work today. Though it was short time I had with my grandmother, but we had a great time reminiscing our past and how some of my cousins' kids look like their baby selves. So I took back my photographs and scanned some of the photographs and share it up here. Those were the days!
Maybe I should find more old photographs and digitise them. :-) 07 novembre Media Literacy CourseThough I have missed the first two session because I had to do an EBS sharing last Tuesday, I have enjoyed myself tremendously during this course. It opened my eyes to the 'Whats' not just the 'Hows', when we are going to use more media related materials for our EL lessons. For me, I can't wait to try out some of the lessons that we have already designed in this course.
Next year is definitely going to be exciting for me because of EBS/ EL. I am really looking forward to carry out many more new stuff for the year ahead! 31 ottobre Selection of FlatToday, I went down to HDB hub to select my very first flat. It will be in Punggol. I hope my hubby likes what I chose. 27 ottobre School's Online Photo Album UpdatedI've also updated the OPSS Photos at Shutterfly. Take a look at the photos of our school events. More updates later.
click this ===> OPSS PHOTOS 26 ottobre Blood TestsJust on 24 Oct, Friday, I went for another blood test. This test has to be done on day 21 of my menses cycle to check if I am ovulating properly. The blood would show a high amount of progestrone. Progestrone is a hormone that are produced after ovulation by the corpus luteum, so once ovulation happens, the body temperature will go up by about 0.2 - 0.5 degrees celcius.
Anyway, enough about biology.
Frankly, I have a fear of drawing blood! There was a trip that I made to the hospital and I was poked NINE (9) times and they did not manage to draw any blood at all. After that horrendous visit, I would always tell the nurses my fear. So for the last 2 blood tests that I did, I made sure I had a meal (to 'warm' up my body, if my body is cold, my veins would constrict and it would be even more difficult to look for it). The nurses were able to draw the necessary amount of blood with just ONE poke.
Even for the last visit, I was so surprised that it didn't hurt as much as the previous trip. Well, the nurse recognised me and made sure I was very comfortable before she confidently drew the blood quickly. Of course, at the end of the drawing of blood, my left palm was really wet. I also felt that my left arm was weak throughout the day, luckily, there was no more school that day.
Will there be a day when I am no longer afraid of drawing blood and perhaps finally be able to donate my 'sweet' blood in the future (rather than give it to the mosquitoes! ha ha)? Perhaps, one day I might be able to do that! 19 ottobre Letter from HDB came yesterdayAfter sending in the application in July, the letter from HDB to ask us to select a flat has finally arrived. Alas, my dear hubby decided not to get the flat many weeks ago. I am a bit upset about it because the queue number is fantastic, we could literally get the flat of our choice! Anyway, still trying hard to convince my dear to get our very own Singapore flat so that we have a place to stay whenever we are in Singapore in the future.
Now seriously thinking about our future address, which unit should I get? 18 ottobre Fighting Against FlabI am constantly in war with my body...... I have been rather chubby throughout my primary school days except the time when I was in Primary Six, my cousin wanted me to be the flower girl I exercised and diet like mad. Luckily I was able to maintain a slim figure when I was in secondary school because of my time in military band. I was still okay in polytechnic.
My weight woes started when I was studying in England. I put on 8kg within 3 months! Since then I have been piling non-stop. Of course, there were bouts of slimming fads that I carried out and rather successfully too. Towards the end of NIE, I was crazy over going to gym and playing tennis and I was rather trim then. Once I began teaching, whenever I am stressed I binged. My colleagues had opposite experiences, they lost weight as they are stressed!
Last year, I even signed up with a nearby gym but my exercise routines were short-lived because of the travelling to Korea and work. At the end of a work day, I am too 'tired' to drag myself to do exercises and I rather chill in front of the television. Besides I was trying hard for a baby so I didn't want to do streneous exercises just in case I might get pregnant. Sigh... I even went to the extent of going to the doctors to get diet pills.
I've already cut down a lot of my rice intake especially during dinner. I tried to eat more vegetables and less meats. But I am drinking more low fat high calcium milk nowadays in a bid to take part in the 'win a car' competition. Anyway, I know I have a problem. I don't need others to keep telling me I have been piling on weight, you think I want it to happen? I have tried means and ways, yet I still increase in it, you think I am not upset by it? So please don't tell me I've grown fat, I know that, you know that, stop calling me feipo because this is exactly 'self-fulfiling prophesy' is about. The more you say someone negatively, the person will become what you say. It is just like educating the young ones, never say that they are stupid or idiots, or they behave or do things that are really stupid and idiotic to prove that your words are right! So please stop telling me negative things!!!! I hate it! I really hate it! 16 ottobre Another day olderGosh!... Just like one of my cheeky student said, "another year older means another year is cut off from your life..." Well, to me "another year older, I hope I have grown even wiser, happier and contented with my lot"
One thing that makes me happy is that the class has shown that they have put in extra effort to try to at least pass most of their subjects. They have shown improvement in most of their subjects except Geography. I'm proud that they did well for their English Language too! Anyway, their fates will be decided tomorrow at the Promotions Meeting, but I really pray that all of them will make it through!
Okay, now for my birthday wish......hmmmm....God knows what I want and I do want it so badly. I pray for 'good news' coming our way in December.
Happy Birthday to Me!
03 ottobre Just.......Just one summary more for both classes and I'm done with marking for my first load. Perhaps then I've to prepare for my sharing for EBS.
Just a few more weeks to go, then I'll be selecting my first flat.
Just be patient for another 40 odd days, I'll be seeing my dear.
02 ottobre Yipee! Finished the first roundI am so H A P P Y! Finally managed to finish the first round of marking the compositions and the functional writings. Now I should be tackling those comprehension papers!!!! 30 settembre Yeah! Finished marking two classes of compositionsI am so glad that I was able to finish marking two classes of compositions, now I have to try to finish the situational writing, just sixty scripts to go..... hopefully I can finish the marking comprehension by this weekend! Last paper on 9th and I'm done for the year! YEAH! Can't wait to see my dear! 28 settembre Hormones taking overRecently, I don't know what is getting over me. I get upset easily over the tiniest things. I get angry over the slightest grievances. I get teary over over misccmmunication. On top of that, my dear hubby is not by my side because he is back in South Korea.
Guess is the PMS thingy! This month would be a perfect month to create a new human being but he chose to return early! I don't know if we would be successful for that one try in Dec.
I am also getting very stressed marking the exam papers. When can I finish them? 26 settembre It's marking timeaaahhhh.... Please let me be focussed in my marking... but Sleep is getting in my way. Don't understand why I am so tired most of the time. 22 settembre Yikes, the exams are comingThe examinations are coming but my pupils don't seem to worry about their coming exams. How do I motivate them to work harder to achieve their dreams.... 18 settembre Girls' Night OutLast Monday, I had a girls' night out with my ex-secondary/primary school classmates and two of our secondary school teachers. It was a farewell dinner for one of friends, who will be studying in London. We had a fantastic time catching up with one another. You know what is so amazing about this friendship of ours? We may not have met each other for long, long time but when we come together, there are no awkwardness or silence. We just want to remember those good old times and catch up with what's happening in our life.
Oh! Especially now that I am in the same fence as my teachers, I really regretted being such a naughty girl when I was in secondary school. Whatever nonsense I gave my teacher, I seem to be getting 10 times (maybe even worse) back from my students. Well, you know the usual stuff... talking when the teacher was teaching, sleeping when the lessons got boring, forgot to hand in work, sewing my skirt higher so that it was shorter, perming my hair, talking to boys (I was from a girls school and our school rules were archaic or that's what I thought it was then)... heh heh... just one more... I really didn't pay attention during my Chinese lessons.
Boy, do I have to pay my dues later in my life. Embarassed by my poor Chinese language skills when I spoke to the Chinese/ Taiwanese etc when I was studying in England. Discouraged when pupils talk, didn't pay attention or sleep in class when I am teaching. Disheartened that the work done by the students were not up to expectations. Sigh....
One thing I knew why we were able to perform well in our examinations was because none of the teachers back in St. Margaret's Sec Sch gave up on us. I remember writing out at least 5 copies of the balance sheet for one question just because I was caught copying just homework (copied blindly at that). We had to copy our geography notes by hand and usually the notes would be a few pages long. My cake turned out to be diasatrous when I put 2 tablespoon of salt instead of sugar (too nervous during home economics examinations).
When I looked at old photographs, I miss all those times in school like our 'Bring and Buy' sale, band camps, listening to ghost stories, talking about the boys from the boys schools. Ha ha.... those were the days, my friends.
The night out with my friends was really a trip down memory lane. Thank you teachers for believing in us then, I hope we have make you proud. |
Thanks for visiting!
