Yay... I've survived the first week of school....... changed my timetable to suit my friend's so that he can send me to and from school every single day..... that makes life so much easier...... =D Every single day I meet old friends and acquaintances who exclaim in shock and joy at how pregnant I look.... then they ask how many months, and if it's a boy or a girl..... haha...i somehow feel like hanging a sign around my neck to answer these questions...... =) Baby's been extremely active lately too..... so they're getting a kick out of feeling it's movements (pun intended....)

It's gonna be a hectic semester though.... as we have only 6 weeks before we officially go into schools for our final attachment, hence, the school term and schedule is extremely packed with our first assignment due the week of CNY...... sighz.... I haven't even settled in yet.... dunno how I'm gonna bring myself to start on my assignments so soon.......

hmmmz... i'm now 30 weeks into the pregnancy already, which translates to 7.5 months.... it's scary to think that in another 10 weeks, I'd be entering a whole new phase of life..... Preparations have to start being made to fit Baby's stuff into our little cosy room..... Am I ready to be a mother yet? I really have no idea..... but I'll just deal with it one step at a time.....

Planning the upcoming Legion activities, it feels almost weird to know that I'll not be participating in so many of them because of Baby's arrival...... It's even more odd because it's not of my choice that I'm not participating in them..... So many changes await this beloved ministry of Darling and mine..... I'm not sure if the kids are even ready for it yet...... But... I always believe that God has better plans than us.... and that He already foresees what is going to happen, and that it is all in His hands......

Well, anyway, back to my main reason for posting today...... The Case of the Flying Bamboo....

ha... it's quite a funny incident.... it's an extremely windy day today.... and Darling and myself hung the clothes out to dry, of which the clothes in question are my parents' bedsheets.... I was kinda worried that the clothes would blow away or that the bamboo would fly out of the hole.... But well, bedsheets have to be dried properly or they'd really stink, so we hung them out anyway..... In the process of waiting for it to be dry, I fell asleep whilst Darling was doing his work. He suddenly woke me up telling me that the bamboo had flown away. He hurried me to take a look.... apparently the weakest bamboo had flown down together with the clothes, whilst the comforter cover had detached itself from its clips and flown onto my neighbour's window. Darling told me he'd run down to retrieve the bamboo whilst I ran to my 6th floor and 5th floor neighbours to ask them to help us get our clothes. Sadly, the 6th floor owner wasn't in.... In a desperate attempt to get the comforter cover home before my mum came home, we tried using a pole to push it downwards. Thank God it didn't get stuck on any other windows!!! We ended up coming back home to wash all the items again..... sheesh.... my parents ain't back yet.... i can imagine the big hoo-hah my mum will make when we tell her of what happened coz she really hates hanging the clothes out! =D

CNY is in 16 days... which is how far away my birthday is......used to love having my birthday falling on the same day as CNY coz that means that I would get double angpows.... sighz... things are different now that I'm married..... but in a way, because of Chinese 'tradition'/'superstition' about us still being in mourning during this festive season as Darling's granny passed away less than a 100 days, so, by right, Darling and myself ought not to be attending weddings/funerals or even giving out angpows or exchanging oranges during this period, for fear that we give our 'bad luck' away...... I have no idea how true that is.... but well, it does save us lots of money.... =p and well, considering we didn't need to give out angpows in our first year, and now this is the case for this year, by next year we would also have little Baby with us, which means we would be likely to break even since we would be giving and receiving! =)

Russell's finally home from the UK.... and I'll be meeting him on Tuesday..... I so can't wait, especially since it's been 4 months since I last saw him!!!!

ah well..... hehe.... long day tomorrow.... i'm enjoying my day off, and well, trying to get my brains to start working on the assignments..... another week of work awaits.........
