Certification Begins!

With home-schooling in mind, 

I decided to create certificates for Olympia as she learns

and progresses right from young.

They are sort of like a list of achievements she has and 

will achieve now and in future.

Grow well, Olympia.

Be kind to others and yourself.

Be happy from within.

Be healthy.

Lots Love.

Olympia is almost 37 weeks!

Hello my dear Olympia, 

How are you? 

Mummy is tired but happy. 

We'll be seeing you in 8 days time, 

just 8 days,  only 8 days! 

Papa has been driving mummy around to catch up with friends. 

And sweet lovely mummy friends also have been driving me around. 

Yesterday,  Mermaid Jie Jie and Steph Jie Jie also drove Mummy around. 

We're so lucky. 

Mummy haven't even manage to collage the photos! 

And those taken with Auntie Christine today. 

So sweet of Auntie Cyn to buy the lovely pink romper with the little stretch of tutu! 

I think I want to get a matching tulle! 

The organic halter mummy ordered is also here already! Yeah! 

Alright... 

We have to pack more things to bring back to Ah Mah's house, repack the cabin luggage for hospital stay (Auntie Cyn suggested a larger one), and whatever else to pack! 

For now...  Stay good in Mummy... 

See you next week! 

Lots love! 

Week 36!!!

Hello my dear Olympia!

You are Week 36 today!

See you in 13 days time!

Woohoo!

This morning, I went to meet Auntie Sharon and collected the lactation cookies.
I hope all the mothers' tea and cookies and Fenugreek will help to produce more milk for you!
Yesterday, Papa sent Mummy to meet Auntie Jenny for lunch and beautifying procedures for the last time till Dec 5!
Eyelash extensions checked!
Pedicure checked!
Then, in the evening, Mummy went to meet your Devilz Aunties.
Auntie Belle, Auntie Cutie and Auntie Bucky.

I'm sure you can't wait to see them just like they can't wait to see you!

Till then...
Lots Love!

See you on Dec 5, Olympia!

Hello my dear,  

See you in 3 Fridays time! 

At this time, you would have join us on Earth! 

We're now queueing to do the pre-registration for admission. 

Dr Yang told us to admit after midnight. 

Can't wait to see you. 

Enjoy the time in Mummy's womb. 

You've already arrange yourself with your head down. 

Get ready to shift house! 

Lots love. 

Medela*Hermes*JJ*Apple*Samsung for Olympia

Dear Olympia,

Medela

Mummy sorted the stuff in the 'pump bag' today.

The motor (or whatever that is called) is charged.

I will sterilised those necessary parts too!

Hermes

I was also packing up all your gifts the other day and decided to use them to build you a xmas tree! Next year, we can all set up the xmas tree together. Papa and Mummy had so much fun setting up the tree always and Papa will always be the one to put up the star. I think he might let you put up the star next year! I also cannot wait to unbox all your gifts and use them on you. Our first xmas! I hope that you will like everything in the orange boxes, well, Mummy always does! I was going to wash your blankets and towels when I realised you might not have enough blankets! One for Ah Mah's house, one for our own house ... I think we need one for Popo's house/car use right? I better go get you another one!

JJ

Papa bought you this fan when he was in BKK three weeks ago.

Haha, Actually we already have two battery-operated fans but he said he couldn't resist this and he will also use this to fan you! 

I cannot remember if I blogged about this previously but well, we have booked air tickets! We will bring you on your first trip in March to BKK to make merit and meet our dearest Thai friends who are literally like our Thai family! Hopefully you're as excited as us! 

(NO) Apple*Samsung*Etc

Mummy and Popo are very determined that you do not come in contact with phones and tablets.

Mummy has also told Ah Mah about this because she is going to be your main caretaker.

Some people are quite dependent on gadgets for their children and I have absolutely no right to comment or judge.

Well, every set of parents have their own preferences, understand?

Don't blame Mummy for not allowing you to come in contact with gadgets and I do not need you to thank me as well.

It is not the first time Mummy has come across such articles and it is not because of such articles that influenced Mummy and Popo's decision.

Papa and Mummy are building up resources of activities to help you with your development in all areas as well as to prepare for homeschooling.

We hope you will find it fun-filled and meaningful with lots of sports and outdoor activities complementing our academic syllabus.

Papa has planned to start an infant swimming class just because of you.

He has delayed in starting a class despite the high demand for it and this time round, he will do it for you!

Parenting is definitely not going to be easy, but we will definitely do it well just for you!
See you tomorrow during the scan!
Be a good girl and show us your smiley chubby face!

Lots Love.

As we wait for the arrival of Olympia...

So it is no longer just Summer ...

Or Jerry & Summer ...

My dear Olympia, 

since it's a free day at home 

for papa and we've finished 

(almost) our online shopping, 

I made Papa take some pictures 

with mummy! 

Here they are! 

Mummy packed the hospital bag, Olympia!

Hello my dear Olympia!

Mummy was surfing the FB group for Dec 2014 Mummies 

and I saw that Auntie GT has popped on 5/11!

Like what popo told mummy past few days,

pack the bag!

Mummy finally packed the bag and will be leaving

it in the car!

I also did a check against Auntie NL's blog.

Quite the same! Hehe.

You know how chill and relax mummy is... so...

some of the things, mummy will get papa to buy

them from the hospital.

Well, I still have not decide on the outfit and matching slippers.

Haha :) well, you know, #vainmummy!

Today mummy and papa went shopping and bought 

you your first swimsuit!

Papa will start a new baby swim class in your name!

You will be the real life model!

There are so many other mummies asking for the class!

We also bought the Hello Kitty bedsheets for the queen bed

in your room, not that you will need the bed,

more for decorative purposes.

We also went to Ikea to get you some pink stuff

before we went for the Secret Garden Concert.

Love the concert!

Did you enjoy the music?

Your papa loves instrumental music.

Next time Yiruma is here, 

we shall go for it also!

These are the three songs that remind mummy of you.

We will have a new beginning soon :)

Prayers for you :)

This is also one of mummy's favourites.
Thank you for coming into our lives.
Thank you for the family that we have.
Popo and gong gong have given everything to mummy and jiu jiu.
Mummy and papa will give you everything too.
We must never take things for granted and put
in the most effort for the family.
You know mummy is not going to be the typical mummy
nor that kind who will stick to you ,
no matter how other mummies say mummy will change for you
once you are out.
Always know that mummy loves you and loves herself
(which is very important!)
Giving you 24/7 of my time doesn't make me the best mummy
nor NOT giving you 24/7 of the makes me the worst.
So you see, mummy doesn't allow people to judge and
when you grow up, you must not allow people's
judgement to make you feel bad too!

Thank you, Olympia.
Lots love.

PS: See you during the gynae visit's scan later!

New fan for you, Olympia!

Errata: *we are also bringing some... 

End of Week 32 ... It's Week 33!

My dear Olympia, 

it's Halloween!

No, we are not celebrating it and we are not going for treats or tricks.

It's just a fun photo that mummy made.

And such coincidence that mummy decided to wear 

her Snoopy t-shirt and there are Snoopy stickers!

Papa has a precious off day today!

Friday - fifth week!

We went out for breakfast and after that decided 

to wash some of your clothes.

Hand-washed some, especially the reds and fushia pinks ...

Realised the colours did not run!

Yeah!

Means the next time, we can simply machine-wash them!

Check out your furry bro - Charcoal, guarding your clothes.

He really enjoyed that because he suntanned at the same time!

Your furry bro thinks he is a beach boy, 

I mean beach dog...

Always suntanning!

Will do one more round of clothes washing for you next week,

my dear Olympia!

Lots Love!

Mon - Wed of Week 32 with Olympia...

Monday 27/11

Hello, my dear Olympia ... 

How are you inside mummy?

I think the space is a big congested?

Hang in there, a couple more weeks to go!

After a 4-hour nap at Popo's house yesterday,

I couldn't sleep last night.

Chatted on Line with Auntie Mermaid for a while, 

shopped online for awhile,

Chatted with Auntie Zoelyn for almost 2h ...

Finally, I think I fell asleep before 3am.

I think the aching body contributed to the insomnia.

Mummy and Papa relaxed the morning away.

We had tea and watched drama as usual.

(I think this morning alone, 

Mummy watched 4 different drama series latest episodes.

Papa watched 飞虎2 with me)

And now, I'm so bored again.

Watching Catch-Up TV: 绝对Superstar.

It's not all play and no work.

I did prepare some updated materials for the jie jies and kor kors 

coming for the Secondary One Preparatory Classes.

In between, Mummy and Papa went out for lunch 

and some grocery shopping.

Wanted to buy the mattress for your cot

and playpen but could not decide on suitable ones yet.

Will get them these two weeks.

Mummy had her first coconut today.

Absolutely yummy!

At night, we were clearing out the storeroom and papa's office.

Threw some.

Sold some.

Make way for even more space in our house.

Tuesday 28/10

This is mummy's rest week and there is no lesson.

Papa went to the market as usual to buy mummy fresh food to cook.

Yesterday, mummy had grilled chicken, so today, 

I decided to cook the chicken drumstick in 

chicken broth and chicken essence.

Today was yet another simple and blissful day.

Papa and mummy went to Tesco to buy coconuts for Popo and mummy.

Also bought some stuff for you.

Spent the afternoon watching more drama series  and slacking away.

Chatted on Line with Auntie Chris and Auntie Carol for awhile.

Papa had two lessons today and I decided to follow him back to Estuary.

Mummy also swam and then we had dinner.

Ah Mah cooked dinner for us.

Of course, mummy had her daily dose of birds nest from Ah Mah too.

Oh yes!

Mummy received the tulle skirt she ordered yesterday! 

Absolutely loving it.

Perfect match for your skirt!

So excited.

Maybe we can wear this for CNY!

Wednesday 29/10

Mummy sent papa to the airport early this morning.

It's supposedly our monthly trip to make merit in Bangkok.

However, Olympia, you are growing much bigger 

(Well done! Good job and Keep it up!),

mummy could not fly with papa.

Off he went to make merit, conduct a lesson and shop for us! 

It's 10.52 a.m. now, mummy will be going shower and change 

so that we can meet you Godmama Ni for lunch soon!

Entry to be continued later! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a whopping nine hours that mummy has been out!

Not really tired, maybe because the actual walking

and shopping is only about three hours?

Met your Godmama Ni at One Raffles Place for Paris Baguette.

You must be very excited to be kicking all the time

because you are with Godma.

See how pretty your Godma is!

We also shopped around a bit and Mummy bought 

you some white pieces.

Love them!

(Just now, Auntie Shar also bought you clothes, again!)

When Godma left, I shopped around a bit more before heading

to do my nails and lash extension.

You see, mummy is really a vain mummy :p

After these two appointments, 

Mummy was checking the phone and realised that

Auntie Marj, Shar, Daze & Irene were at Ikea!

Well, mummy decided to go join them!

It is always fun meeting up with mummy's friends!

You have been a good girl also.

You kicked and wriggled around as usual but you

did not cause too much uncomfy moments for mummy.

Good girl, Olympia!

Papa just messaged mummy.

He boarded the plane already.

He also bought a lot of things for you and for mummy!

Mummy just realised that actually I could have gone with papa!

However it was also good that I did not.

In Bkk, mummy won't be able to keep sitting and resting.

Any walk more than one hour makes mummy tired.

Mummy shall now watch drama and slack and unpack more shopping loot.

We will go to the airport after midnight to pick up papa.

Rest well for a while, Olympia,

before we head out again!

Lots Love.
