Haven't posted in 12 days..... the last few days have been hectic as it's the final dash before the semester ends, so assignments were piling up to the brim..... as of now, I still have 3 outstanding assignments to complete by Monday.... My mum was also warded in hospital over the weekend due to the presence of kidney stones...it's a real long story, but Saturday - Tuesday consisted of a mad rush to hospital in the midst of the night and staying there till the wee hours of the morning.......I think all the lack of sleep has led to my falling ill.... am now suffering from a stuffy nose and really bad throat, which worries me because well, i'm 5 weeks away from my due date......Baby's stuff are all pretty much ready for arrival.....and I'll be taking time to go wash all the linens, clothes and etc over the next few days... we still have the video camera left to buy, and i'm really hoping we'll manage to get that soon...... somehow, I have a feeling that Baby's gonna be early...... Walking's getting really difficult these days, and to lie down in position to sleep is also not easy.... Baby's getting quite big.... and I can't fit into all my t-shirts anymore..... as a result, I've worn Darling's shirt to school twice this week! It's craziness....... and over these two weeks, I've puked a couple of times too..... Baby's really funny.......lately, I think due to the lack of space in my stomach for him/her, everytime there's pressure exerted on my stomach, i.e. from seatbelts, my leaning on tables, etc, Baby would react to the pressure by kicking or pushing against it, resulting in lots of pain on my part! Whilst it's painful, yet I'm super amused by it... =)Hmmm...tomorrow's V-day......it's probably my last V-day that can be spent freely and without worries......kinda sad actually....usually Darling and myself don't attach much importance to the day itself, coz we feel that the day is over-hyped, and it's an expensive day...... we usually just have a quiet meal a couple of days before........ but this year, i guess there's just the silent awareness and understanding that next year and the years after are gonna be really different.... with Baby around, things ain't gonna be the same no more........ true, we could ask someone to babysit for us...but I guess that as a parent, you never ever do take your mind off your child..... so it's gonna be different.........But oh well, I guess it's just part and parcel of the journey of life..... watched a tonne of movies lately...... Australia, Bride Wars, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Reader. Other than Bride Wars, which is your typical chick-flick with a hint of meaning behind the story.... the rest are really quite interesting and thought-provoking....my fav is still Australia and The Reader...... more because of the themes they carry within their story plot, which stays with you even after the movie........ I do feel that the latter did not need the full nudity scenes though....as it didn't enhance the story...... Felt that they could have done partial nudity instead, and rated the movie M18, making it more accessible to the public. It's really quite a good show. Australia touched on a whole lot of themes and was really very interesting even though the movie was immensely long..... i liked the show........ whilst Benjamin Button was nicely done and rather interesting..... yet, maybe there was too much hype around the show, causing me to not enjoy it as much as I would have otherwise.........gonna go take a rest now..... the blocked nose is really getting to me........ hope it clears so darling and myself can enjoy our v-day tmr.....
