Crazy week ahead, it's gonna be........

Camp is the day after tomorrow. There's just so so much to do. I have no idea why this happens every year darling and me do camp...... sheesh....the amount of things we always end up having to do piles up like a mountain. But I keep telling myself it's the last year......with Baby around next year, we can only be guests.... so I guess I wouldn't mind going all out for this year's camp....

Anywayz, just went to see the doctor again yesterday....... I have officially put on 4 kg in the last month. It's scary la.....for the first time in my entire life, my weight has gone past 60kg....... sheesh....it's utterly depressing....especially since at this same period last year, I was trying to push my weight down to 50kg...... ARGH........ Both the doctor and her nurse were shocked at my quick weight gain, but apparently, this is still appropriate for Baby, for Baby is now 680g.... Baby has doubled it's weight in the span of a month.... Doc was saying that if i'd eaten any lesser, Baby would probably be smaller....... sighz...i dunno if it's good or bad...but I know I need to start exercising soon........

Baby is kicking and punching like crazy these days..... and well, it's kinda fun to be feeling it.... Darling's having a ball of a time putting his hand on my stomach and feeling the punches....it gives him great joy....haha.... Mum tells me that soon the kicks will get so frequent that it'll disrupt my sleep...... Ah wellz.....

Now that the vomitting has more or less passed........i'm beginning to break out in rashes.....on my back, my thigh and my chest......it's totally annoying....and everytime i feel a little warm, i start itching like a monkey......totally disrupts my sleep and annoys me coz I have to sleep in aircon almost every night...... nothing helps...... so, I really hope that during camp I'm not gonna itch so badly, though I highly doubt it.....

Darling's away on duty again today..... the poor child is really overtaxed with camp stuff and all the information he has to absorb from school...... I think it's already bad that they are cramming so much stuff, but for a fact that he has never taken biology in his entire life, it makes it all worse..... i just hope he manages to cope and get used to it...... tomorrow's gonna be a day for both of us to prep all the remaining stuff for camp.....

hmmm... our year end trip is finalized..... we will be going back to Bintan once more..... haha..... Winson, Angela and Nigel would probably be scratching their heads when they hear about it. Especially after the lousy experience we had the last time there...... but well, Darling and me don't really wanna spend so much money...... and in fact we were originally thinking of just staying in a hotel to chill and spend our anniversary together...... but I hate still being in Singapore, coz it just doesn't feel the same since you're still in the country, and it isn't truly a getaway.... Then it occurred to me that the Bintan resort we'd stayed in previously had promised us a complimentary stay due to the complaint that I had made..... haha...so I went to enquire, and well, the offer still stands, so we'll be getting the suite for 2 nights, inclusive of breakfast and transfers to and from the ferry terminal, all for free! So all we'll have to pay for would be the ferry ride itself, which would amount to less than $100 for both of us. All we'd have to pay for would be our lunches and dinners there, which wouldn't be much either, and well, we'd be spending lesser than if we were staying in a Singapore hotel! =D

ah....much to do and bags still aren't packed..... i'd better get started on them again!

I can't believe that this is already my 270th post. Ha....

Anywayz, I'm starting to be able to feel Baby's tiny movements in my tummy. Haha.......Baby's kicking quite a bit, and well, it feels like a muscle twitch more than a kick right now.... Everytime Darling talks/sings to baby, Baby will begin to kick a little while later. But sadly, Darling doesn't seem to feel it. I think he's too anxious... and because it's very slight, kinda like putting you head on someone's chest, and you feel the heart beat, yup, that's kinda how it feels like..... I thought maybe only I could feel it...but Monica proved me wrong yesterday coz she did feel it a couple of times! haha....

Other mummies are telling me the kicks will just get more and more frequent, and much harder once I reach the 6th month.....as of now, I'm still in my 5.5 month. I can't wait.... =D the only thing that keeps me worried though is the fact that I can't seem to eat my supplements at all. Whether it was folic acid, or fish oil (which helps brain development), I just end up puking it out and feeling horrible for a couple of days after. I can thus only hope that my diet is sufficient for baby to develop properly.

Heard another old wives' tale yesterday that I shouldn't be drinking fresh milk coz it gives Baby a lot of phelgm when Baby is born...... if it's true, it sucks....coz I'm ensuring I get sufficient calcium by drinking both soya milk and fresh milk daily...... I don't exactly wanna drink powdered milk..... sighz..... just wondering whether I ought to listen.... =(

feeling terribly tired today coz yesterday was a very very long day..... we're officially 10 days away from camp, and seriously, I'm still feeling worried. No doubt all programs are out....but something just don't seem right. Just hope that things work out during camp itself.

Just read Rabbit's post on criticism. I can't help but feel that the article she posted is really true, and makes me think about how comments are made by myself....... I do agree that it's hard to change my mindset on a person once he/she has disappointed me.....but I do like to think that I look more at the issue that is wrong, instead of the person......... Usually I can't even be bothered with the person unless he/she means something to me...and because I often get disappointed by the person's lack of doing what he/she is capable of, thus, it is this disappointment that makes me even more upset. Yet all I ask is that he/she rectifies the issue by proving me wrong.... and I'm often fine.......

But oh well, who am I to judge right? After all, I'm only human. Yet those who've worked long enough with me know how I am.....and that's usually the way I treat most pple....

Enough abt such depressing stuff already......

Darling's been quite pitiful these last couple of days. He has just started his part-time course in Sports Science....and considering the fact that he'd never taken Biology before in his life...... his first 2 modules are really killer material for him as it is Human Anatomy and Physiology. He's been at school for the last 4 days, thursday to Sunday...... and he often comes back drained and extremely overloaded with information.... doesn't help that he's on duty today again..... the poor child. He badly needs a break.... and i'm just hoping we can really relax tomorrow.....

Ah... home...finally.

i always love coming home after camp.......the feeling of cleanliness, the comfort of your own bed, and the quietness......

especially now, when i'm in this condition, cleanliness does make a lot of difference. =D darling and me came home yesterday, took our bath, unpacked, and well, we were concussed till 9.30....when we had no choice but to wake up, because our baby needed to eat. Ordered pizza in....and, well, we slowly ate, and after that, went back to bed.

wat a way to spend one's sunday....... haha...i have to really thank my little baby for behaving so well this entire weekend though.....not once did baby act up and make me feel miserable.....in fact, i've been eating so much! I just hope that during camp, baby will know what to do again.. =)

much as the evening was restful, yet, i was bugged down with being the middleman for the chang nian da hui between the senior curia president, and the pple we've assigned for the planning committee....... kinda irritated coz i'd already given her the number of my main ic...... ah wellz....i just hope they settle it soon so that my phone will be free for a little while....

anywayz, back to the pre-camp weekend.

i don't know man......we are...17 days away from camp? And boy, darling and myself are still not convinced that this camp will go perfectly. We've done a tonne of camps, and i'm really quite worried about this one..... right now, I'm just glad that nigel and angela have majorly changed in their work-approach this year..... and the 4 of us together have been through enough shit, and rectified enough failed-camps for me to feel a little more assured that we can rescue any warped program....... as for the rest of the committee.....i just have to say that a couple fo them have fallen far below expectation.....so far below that it shocks me......and the rest are just doing what we expected them to do..... yet, programs are still below par...... with 2 weeks to the camp, i just hope everything somehow falls into place....

hmmm...the whole week before that has been madness....i had assignments to complete and an exam to study for......it sure didn't help that baby really gave me hell the entire week...so much so that I couldn't bring myself to do anything. i think baby is like me......it hates and detests medicines of any form..... coz no matter what supplements i force myself to ingest due to doc's orders, i will end up feeling really ill and vomitting......it really sucks.....

but on a happier note, school is finally over for the year. i'm still trying to plan my vacation! sheesh.......

right now, i'm constantly feeling like an over-filled balloon....... and i know it's just gonna get worse....... baby was 317g as of 31st October..... which, in foetal terms, belongs to the medium - large range....... baby is extremely active each time we go to the doctor, constantly moving its arms and legs.... which really makes us laugh..... i wish we had pictures of the last visit, but because the visit was focused on measuring the different parts of the body, we didn't have any nice pictures...... ah well, the next visit is before camp....and already, darling can't wait! =D

sighz....many many things to do, and darling starts school this week.... just hoping he'll be able to cope with the extremely tight schedule.........
