REST DAY!

This morning woke up to have breakfast together with pa and Silly hubby. We went 126 at Geylang to have dim sum. YUMMY........ I like the fried mid wings and pai gu.


The deep fried oyster also not bad.
In the evening, I went Novena square to shop at the same time met Jenna and Ronnie for dinner. There are actually quite a number of nice restaurants at Novena square. We went in to "Pasta De Waraku" which I wanted to try some time ago and Jenna said it is good.


She ordered a set of chicken and egg spagetti with soup, salad and baked pasta with prawns. This set cost $16.80.

I ordered a scallops and asparagus spagetti. They also ordered additional fried calamari to share. The food is good and fresh! Good!

Mum's 100th day & gathering

Yesterday was mum's 100th day. We went Bishan Pek Shan Ting and Punggol Fu Guang Shan to do our prayers. I cooked some food for mum to eat and aunties and uncles bought food for mum as well. She should be very happy to see all of us..........
After the prayers, we went Jurong Sakura to have our lunch (about 25 of us) and at the same time celebrate Auntie Yvette's birthday.

This birthday cake was ordered by eldest auntie and it is a pure durian cake. Very rich but nice. Eventhough I dont like durian, I still manage to finish a big piece with one durian puff. I like it because it is bitter instead of very sweet.
Look at grandma, she was so happy heeee cute grandma.

Uncles and aunties. There were also cousins and other aunties and uncles not in the picture. What a nice gathering...........

Boring...

I cooked lunch yesterday before I went to work and I cooked my dinner and brought it to workplace. Sigh.... from tomorrow onwards, I will have plenty of afternoon shift, I will have to stock up the fridge so that I can cook lunch and dinner everyday.
No life man!
Today someone again went crazy. For a moment she was all right but on and off she started shouting at people again. She raised her voice at me in her room then I really feel like telling her "I am not DEAF"! Dont know what is wrong with her leh, even if she feels stress she should still respect us as a human. I always wanted telling her that "we are not DOGS"! I dont know when I will do that..........

Dinner was fishhead steamboat and fried chicken requested by Silly hubby. As usual he ate 3 bowls of rice and I was able to finish a bowl. Right now when I have enough I will stop because I really can feel Joshua is getting bigger and heavier. My legs cannot take it and I get tired very easily. I still have two more months to go.......................... I wonder what will be Joshua's birth weight.

These few days

These few days nothing very special, boss was in good mood and she was off during the weekends. It was like holiday! However there are quite a bit of paperwork to complete.
I feel breathless, tired and lethargic very easily. Another two more months to go and I will see little Joshua! Sometimes I wish it is tomorrow but he is not due to see the world yet... sigh... so heavy, so breathless, so hot, so ache...........

Wedding of Calvin & Siska

Finally managed to upload some pictures. Dont know what's wrong, took me hours to blog! Anyway, the following are some pictures taken yesterday at Calvin & Siska's wedding!

Look who is that little girl!!??!?! Little Genevieve was very hyper yesterday evening, she was jumping around and running about heeee but hor she only willing to take picture with UNCLE carrying her lor!

This is the BRIDE AND GROOM, Siska and Calvin! The wedding was held in Meritus Mandarin ;)

This little girl really enjoyed the food! She loves the sharks' fin, chicken, mushrooms and dessert!

These were the "first time" pictures that I took after my wedding because I put on so much weight! Eeeeeeee............

Oh ya, vivi said "mummy is zebra!" hahahahahaha so funny!

Today

This morning went for check up and Joshua is already weigh 1.5kg! Dr commented that Joshua was very active, difficult to scan him. Silly hubby cannot even figure out where is his head, legs and spine haha... then I asked Dr is it good or bad to be active? Dr said "Of course good, means he is healthy"... I see... dont know mah, must ask. I told Dr I wanted caesarean and luckily he didnt object but he advised not to also haha... anyway, I have my rights ;)
After appointment, Silly hubby insisted to go Vivo to have lunch instead of settle it in hospital. He dont like the food there but then I was afraid that I will be late for work then someone will start scolding......... anyway, we still ended up in Vivo. We had our favourite Carl's Junior.

SOOooo nice... I finished the whole set!

Work was terrible. It was not busy but that someone scolded me the moment she saw me. She said "Yesterday you were on pm, you dont know how to ask people to go rest day today??? SO many staff this morning!!!!!!!!" I told her you ask people to off today then on their actual rest day they still got to work so isnt it the same? That particular day will also have a lot of staff what? What is she talking? If ask staff to take leave and they doesnt want, I also cant force people to take right? Somemore so last minute... I mean, dont scold for the sake of scolding or because you wanted to vent on someone lah, also got to make sense mah, what is this??!?!?!
After a while, we went to learn how to use the new cannula, my colleague explained to me how it works because I was blocked by many people who stood in front of me then she shouted at me in front of everyone in the room "FJY, you faster do and go out, dont stand there talk talk talk!!!!"
I was SO VERY pissed off and I shouted back "She is telling me how to do it we are not talking!" She was unhappy that I talked back and she fired me "You dont know you ask the trainer not to ask her!"
@$#@%$##^&%$*$&*&
What have I done wrong? I was so pissed that I could not even control my tears. I find that this role is really a "nuisance"! Am I there to learn or am I there to manage beds, get scoldings, please people or what am I doing there???
I always try to learn, try to work to her standard. Of course I am still in the learning stage and not everything is perfect and if I did not do a good job I dont mind scoldings but I always get those nonsense, unreasonable treatment and all I can do is to "tolerate", "bear" with it and take it as "she is trying to teach me". Is that what she is trying to do? Is this a kind of teaching? She needs help I help, she dont want to give training leave wants me to take own leave I took. Wants me to cancel leave I cancelled. I have not taken any MC for almost 8 years, not even now at this pregnancy stage. I dont think I deserve that kind of treatment, I am also a human. How much patience do you think I have? How much do you think I can take and tolerate?
I feel since I took up this role, I have only learnt to see this particular person. I feel like a "dog" more than anything else. Only learn how to please the "trainers". I have no sense of satisfaction at all. Unlike working in the ICU, sometimes you get to save a life you feel happy, sometimes even you set in a plug you feel happy. Ever since I took up this role, the time when I feel happy is when I dont get unnecessary scoldings and when the "trainer" is in good mood. Is making her happy, making her please consider a satisfaction at work?
I can only say today I have reached my limit. Last time no matter what she scolded me I never cry but today I really cannot take it. Maybe because now I am a little more emotional than last time but I really feel I am being treated like "a piece of shit". People out there please stop telling me "No lah she is like that, she is trying to teach you... dont bother, she is like that just take it as she is making you learn from the hard way... it's ok, she also scolded me when I just started doing this role, she wants you to learn."
SORRY LOR, I no longer take these sentences already because like I said I have reached the LIMIT. Those sentences are craps!
Luckily I am not depressed (because I am trained to be quite thick skin), just feel very unfair being treated like that and I am seriously considering for another role but that will be after my maternity leave. I had enough.

Mooncake festival

I celebrated "Mooncake festival" at uncle's place. A lot of our family members gathered at his place and we had buffet lunch cum dinner. Family gathering is always warm and enjoying, with lots of laughter and food! I enjoy every family gathering!
Look at Genevieve, she was very happy too ;) cute little girl!

These few days

I think this was Monday's APSIC lunch. These few days we were served buffet lunch instead of those 6 dishes course. I still prefer the 6 dishes chinese course heeeeee finally exam was over. 150 MCQ but when I reached the 100th question my eyes already "cross"! Cannot concentrate on the questions, cannot understand what it was asking. Anyway... the passing marks is 75%, think I am not going to make it so I just anyhow answer lor... too many "bugs, viruses and bacteria" to remember, I got very poor memory now... forget it!

Monday evening I had dinner at home with Silly hubby. We prepared the smoked salmon salad again with seafood mushroom soup and honey roast chicken. GOOD!

Today, together with pa, we went "Fuo Guang Shan" to pray mum. I bought a double yolk mooncake from Amara hotel for mum. She loves mooncake with double yolk. Sigh, me so not meticulous, only bought a mooncake. When I reached then I realised I should have brew a cup of chinese tea and peel a pomelo for her to enjoy together with her mooncake.
The one in the middle with black wordings is mum's tablet. Too high up that's why picture taken so blur.
I remember last year I brought her to chinese garden to see lanterns with Cecilia and family. I didnt expect this year... I cannot even get to see her...

After praying, I went shopping at Causeway point because I intended to visit my cousin and little newborn niece. I went in to Kiddy Palace and saw many cute clothings again....... but so expensive so I didnt buy for Joshua only took pictures of it. When I was about to go to my cousin's house she called and told me that her baby needs to admit to KK because she has got jaundice. Poor baby... anyway I was free so I took a train to Novena and took a shuttle bus to KK.

As I was waiting for them to arrive, I went in to Mothercare and I bought a set of clothings for Joshua! I wanted to buy this 4 pieces set since mum admitted to KK in June but it was selling at $42 at that time so I didnt buy it. Today it was on sale and it cost $30! Heeeeee so I decided to buy it for Joshua...
THEN I met "Laetitia" (I think this is the spelling)... cute and curious little baby ;) hope she get well soon!

The past 3 days

FRIDAY

APSIC day 5. As usual lecture for the whole day and then eat every 2 hourly. The topics were very dry... so I started to draw. This baby is Joshua hahahhahhaha.... Sigh... another few more days and exam will be right after the last day of lecture. I read the notes and it is really difficult. I hope the result will not be send to our company......


I dont really enjoy the food on Friday. The tung hoon salad was good. The rest tasted all right but I dont fancy curry and herbs so I did not enjoy.

SATURDAY


Went hospital visit on Sat morning. This beautiful hospital is IMH.

Evening time had dinner at parents in law's place. Mother in law cooked japanese food. Udon with sushi and tempura. Nice dinner!


SUNDAY

This evening prepared dinner together with Silly hubby. Silly hubby prepared the smoked salmon salad and mashed potato... and I cooked the mushroom soup, steak and grilled king prawn. A very YUMMY dinner! The beef the we bought was tender and juicy hmmmmm the salad taste very good also! (Maybe it doesnt look very appetizing in picture but trust me, it was great!) This dinner was not cheap also, it cost about $40. The ribeye per piece cost about $11, smoked salmon $14 and king prawns $5. However it's still cheaper than eating out. ;)
