HK-MO Summer Getaway

It's been more than a year since we last went out of Singapore. So we went to Hong Kong and Macau on July 30-August 3. Just a super short trip. To visit some friends and to tour around. We flew via Cathay Pacific. We arrived at the HK airport at around 12noon. We were so amazed that there's mountain near the airport (it's been a while since we last saw one). We arrived at the hotel at around 2pm, because apparently, our shuttle bus caters to other hotels also. And we were the last to alight. We met bing at the hotel and decided to eat out. She took us to the Central, which is in a different island. We rode the ferry. It's so cool that you only need 1 card which is the octopus card to go around HK. Then we went back to the hotel. Bing and I had a girl talk. While Caloy had a drink with his former boss. At around 9pm, we went out again and look for some authentic chinese resto. We found one. We ordered dim sum and sweet and sour fish. Very yummy! The next day is a complim...

whattaday

i'll just list the chain of events here... -super run to catch the bus = jabar -super run to catch the train = jabar jabar -on the way to my office building, there was a fire drill... Great! just what I needed! it was so damn hot! = jabar to the max level -after the fire drill, I felt so sweaty and sticky... I wanted to go home and take another bath! -decided to go to Lucky Plaza to remit money (coz the exchange rate is high! yay!) But I forgot to withdraw some money... so I had to do it there... and guess what? the ATM only dispenses $10 bill! great! -I decided to go to another ATM (about 5 mins walk from there) but on the plus side, my honey also went to LP and we had dinner at Happy V :) yum yum!

3 months after

My OB suggested that I get the rubella vaccine. So I did on Feb.22. And now, we're on the 3rd month... 3rd cycle... hopefully we'll be successful this time. *Fingers crossed*

Yes! it's our 10th anniversary! :) went out for dinner at Friday's (yes it's new here in SG) it's in Heeren Mall... I didn't expect it to be outdoor type. It was so damn hot... but it's almost night time... so it's fine... but i'm not used to eating outside... literally outside...but the food is good.. the caesar's salad is too sour than the ones in Manila... but the alfredo was yummy.. Then, we continued the celebration the next day at the Universal Studios in Resortsworld Sentosa :) We had a blast! I love it there! It doesn't look like I'm in Singapore... hehehe... The theme park is divided into parts: The Hollywood, Madagascar, Far Far Away, The Lost World, Ancient Egypt and New York.. I wanna go back when all the rides are open :) outside the theme park, there's Hershey's chocolate world and Garrett's gourmet popcorn... yum yum yum... we did some shopping... hehehe... but the highlight of the trip was Caloy's first wall cl...

Updates

It’s been a long time since I wrote here. A lot has happened.. Been so busy with work, I only check my FB account on the way home, or at home before going to bed… I’m turning to this over-busy workaholic. Haven’t enjoyed any holidays – Chinese New Year, Holy Week. Been in the office working. Even all my Saturdays are dedicated for work. Feb 22 – went to CGH for my rubella virus vaccine. Also marks the 3-month countdown. March 14 – Roanne, Ariel and Nathan moved to AU. March 18 – had a visitor in the house. Our very own Bing from HK! Spent 4 nights at our place. March 29-April 1 – Ana was here in SG! Went to City Space bar and Clinic bar with Franz April 2 – went out with the VROL QA team. Brewerkz & Bollywood Dhoom night! Night out with the boyz! So I guess I still have a social life after all… not all work and no play..

♫ You can't always get what you want ♫

I saw her today at a reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she would meet her connection At her feet was her footloose man No, you can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want And if you try sometime you find You get what you need I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection At her feet was her footloose man You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you might find You get what you need Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh... And I went down to the demonstration To get my fair share of abuse Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse" Sing it to me now... You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes well you jus...

2nd Checkup

Went to the clinic again for my blood test results and papsmear. The doc says all my hormones seems normal. Yay! Good News! Another good news is that I'm not infected by the rubella virus. The bad news is I'm not immune to rubella virus. The doctor advises that I should have a vaccine for it. So I'll have to wait until my period. Then have the vaccine. Then wait for another 3 months before trying. :( It's my 12th day in the cycle, so the doc says it's a good time for a scan. She scanned me again hoping to see some follicles thingy in there. But there was none. :( So we suspect that this month, I won't be ovulating. She offers to give me some pills. But when I asked her about the side effects, I wouldn't want to take them anymore. :( She says that most cancer patients say that they had taken the pills. So it's a common denominator for cancer patients. This is a very tiring day for me. I feel really sad... Why is it so damn hard? When others just make it ...

And it began...

Went to Dr.Mary's Bedok clinic to have a pre-pregnancy checkup. I've never been to an OB before. Yes! I know. I'm 30 and I need it! hehehe... I was so nervous and excited at the same time. Nervous on what she might find out about me. Excited because we're so ready to hear the doctor say "you're ready to start a family" Most of my friends go to this particular OB - Dr. Dolly Wee. I've heard lots of good feedbacks on her. But her clinic is too far (I'm so tamad to go there). So I decided to look for a good OB near our area. April recommended Dr. Mary Yang. We told her that we've been trying for months, and we're unsuccessful. She asked if I wanted the hormone test, rubella thingy test, and I can't remember the other one test. I said yes. I want to be sure that nothing's wrong with me. She also recommended that Carlo gets tested too (we'll do it next week). It was my 5th day of menses, so she said it's too late to take the fert...
