You're the best gift ever...

Hello Dear Olympia, 

You'll be starting out on Week 36 tomorrow. 

Including today, it's another 7 days before we see you. 

In other words rather, next week this time, we will meet one another for the first time! 

Mummy and Papa can't wait to see you of course,  haha, but honestly, I'm also thinking of the pain and recovery. 

Hiya,  whatever! 

Mummy will chill and relax as usual and take things as they come. 

The other day,  Dr. Yang told Mummy that I've a huge bump (ie. You) and I should quickly take some pictures. 

Papa joined in the fun and we took some Hawaii-style Christmas themed photos. 

Mummy love how the maxi twilly and scarf ring turned out quite nice with the tulle. 

This Christmas, Mummy will be staying at home with u... 

Don't like the term confinement because I'll not be doing those super typical confinement. Haha. 

I want to bath and be happy and enjoy no matter how bad other people have been describing what it should be like or tired I'll be and whatever. 

Life goes on with you. 

I'll have a happy motherhood no matter what other people negatively comment or say, "Hiya, later you will know." 

Life goes on even better, 

because you're the best gift ever. 

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! 

You are 35 Weeks + 6 Days, Olympia!

Hello my dear,

We just returned from Gleneagles to our place... 

Was tempted to swim but the sun is scorching... So... NO... Haha. 

Next time when you are training under Papa, make sure you apply lots of sunscreen. 

I don't know if SunPlay will still sponsor us, but no matter what, I'll buy you lots of sunscreen. 

Otherwise, Popo will also. 

Already I've prepared for you baby organic sunscreen from Meixian Jie Jie's shop. 

Anyway,  mummy gained a bit of weight... 

Well, you gained too. 

I wonder if it has to do with the swollen feet also. 

So much water in my feet! 

Received a parcel today and I totally forgot what I ordered! 

Tore it open and well, it's another of your onsie :p

I actually bought a bigger size but I think, you can wear it earlier than expected. 

Keep growing, Olympia. 

You're now 3.2kg!

Grow well and grow strong! 

See you next week and see you on Dec 5! 

Lots love. 

Matching shoes for us, Olympia!

Hello dear Olympia, 

Mummy went on a short shopping trip with Meryl Jie Jie & Mermaid Jie Jie on Sunday.

Thanks to Meryl Jie Jie and her birthday discount of 20%, 

we saved quite a bit!

Got you a pair of matching shoes with Mummy.

So bling, right!

It might take a while before you can wear them,

but well, we will just admire them first :)

Mummy also sent her new sandals to resole.

There is no way I can wear it now.

Maybe after confinement or during CNY, 

Mummy can wear it.

How nice if they have a kid's version!

I will definitely get it for you,

really such a pity that they don't.

Mummy also collected her hairclip.

Again, thanks to Meryl Jie Jie who reserved and collected and paid first for Mummy.

Such a lovely hair clip right.

It is still a tad too big for you,

Mummy will borrow it from you first ok :p

Well, everything that Mummy has will go to you anyway :)

Woohoo!

Of course, you must also learn to earn your keep in future.

See you in 16 days time!

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.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cris-rowan/10-reasons-why-handheld-devices-should-be-banned_b_4899218.html 

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! 

Introducing your Kyan Kor Kor and Ashlyn Jie Jie to you, Olympia

Hello my dear very-active Olympia,

you are so active today!

Why?

Is the space too tight for you?

Anyway, mummy had a busy but happy day on Saturday.

You attended two parties with mummy and met mummy's godchildren, 

your Ashlyn Jie Jie and Kyan Kor Kor :)

Ashlyn Jie Jie will be in Primary One in 2015

and Kyan Kor Kor will be in Primary One in 2016!

See how pretty and handsome they are!

It was your Godmama Ni's youngest prince, King's 1st birthday

and we attended the party at C.A.N. Cafe.

Lovely party!

In the evening, we attended Meixian Jie Jie

 and Shaun Kor Kor's blessed matrimony.

Lovely place it was at Nosh.

You also get to meet all the lovely aunties, 

Auntie Cher, Auntie Sennett, Auntie Grace and Auntie Wendy.

Auntie Sennett is also expecting her princess!

Both of you should be born in the same month,

unless you arrive earlier!

Mummy's feet was extremely swollen today.

You also performed quite a bit of acrobatics in mummy's womb!

Do give mummy a bit of warning before you are rushing out!

Your papa is very nervous if it is too unexpected!

Lots love, my dear Olympia.

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!

Life of a Vain Mummy-to-Be for the Past 32 Weeks...

(Kind of a long post. Tried to categorise and paragraph properly

but it ended up like verbal vomit :p)

Good morning, Olympia.

You are in your 32nd Week today!

How fast time flies!

We will see you in about 6 weeks time.

I guess I'm still going to chill and relax 

(Auntie Shar doesn't like the word chillax - 

she said it's kind of ... I forgot that adjective)

because no matter how excited and nervous I am,

one will never be fully ready for a new journey in life.

So, we will all take it as it comes!

No point worrying and bothering excessively.

Life goes on and Life will always be great!

I hope you will grow up like Mummy, 

where you don't let insignificant people and comments bother you.

Or worry about being judged for what other people think they are doing right. 

( I waited till I'm quite old to realise this, hope you will acquire this earlier in life.)

We walk our path with a good conscience.

I also hope you will be like Papa,

who is a simple and hardworking man,

working hard and always motivated to soar to the next higher point.

Contentment is fine but we never give up trying to reach the next peak.

Mummy has been very blessed and very lucky to enjoy the pregnancy.

Thanks to you, my first trimester was simply sleepy, sleepy, sleepy!

You are such a good girl!

After which, the second trimester till now, 

Mummy has been enjoying her time with you, 

shopping (for you and myself, haha) , meeting up with friends,

watching drama whole day long (mummy even has a notebook to 

record the shows and episodes completed), more sleeping and just slacking.

I'm loving all the new clothes I have purchased but at the same time, 

I hope they will be too big for me when I give birth to you.

Mummy will work hard to lose the weight!

Of course, with a swim-director-Papa, Mummy tries to swim at least once a week too.

Papa says this is 胎教.

Mummy is also blessed with your ah gong, ah mah, gong gong and popo's love.

Also, all of mummy's family and friends' love.

SOOOOOOO much love.

I've never had so much birds' nests and cod fish in my life.

Haha. Papa has been very conscientiously buying me cod fish.

Ah Mah and Popo have been feeding me with birds' nest like every other day.

On a record breaking day, I had it thrice!

Breakfast at Ah Mah's place.

Lunch at Popo's place.

Supper at home.

Overwhelmed with birds' nest.

I hope you will benefit from all these good food!

Papa has also been very generous with Mummy shopping for you.

In fact when he went past Hermes, he asked for those cute booties for you.

Too bad there was no stock but luckily :p

Mummy bought them already!

I know people always tell me to buy something neutral that can be passed down

or not to buy so many designer pieces.

I still think I want the best for you.

And IF you do have a di di or mei mei, 

I will also make sure he or she have the same amount of NEW things.

Yes, there will definitely be hands-me-down however

Mummy will be fair too.

I also have said this many times, 

blessed you are to have the love of everyone 

with gifts of all sorts.

Remember to grow up thankful, 

very thankful.

The other day at Dr. Yang's, I asked if I can have eyelash extension on during delivery.

YES! CAN!

Haha. initially vain Mummy has already packed two sets of falsies into my delivery bag

(so that I'll look good in photos), but since permission is given for the extensions,

Let's Do It!

I've made two appointments. 

One will be next Friday (to look nice for the weddings I'll be attending

in the month of November).

One will be the end of November, to welcome you with my favourite

makeup-less but big eyes look!

We will all look nice in the photos.

Cutie you, wide-smile Papa and big-eyed Mummy!

See you real soon, Olympia.

Our family has been blessed and so, 

we must always be thankful and do good to the society.

Always remember to return to the society, Olympia.

Do it in your own way, within your means.

 There is a Chinese saying “取之社会，用之社会”. 

It means that you should remember to give back what you have 

taken or benefited from the society. 

Grow up well, Olympia.

We will try our best to educate you.

Lots Love.

Gynae Visit to See Olympia

Hello, Dear Olympia,

The visits to Dr. Yang have been scheduled every 2 weeks since the last visit, 

instead of every 4 weeks.

This means we'll be seeing you live, real soon.

Mummy wore a new dress today.

Last couple of weeks to wear this big dresses.

Then again, I'm always wearing big dresses.

Auntie Marian chose this for Mummy when Auntie Cyn took us to this shop

in Far East Plaza.

We waited quite a while at the clinic and so, 

Papa and I decided (no, rather I asked Papa) to take photos.

Mummy lost another kg (yeah!) with the strict diet,

so the nett gain for Mummy is now 6kg.

At the same time, no worries, you are 2.2kg and will be 32 weeks this Saturday.

Dr, Yang also said that by the end of Nov, she will be able to give a rough date of your delivery.

It will definitely be much earlier than the given EDD of Dec 20.

We headed to Thomson for lunch and of course Mummy had to stick to the healthy diet.

Well, I'm getting used to it.

As for you, please grow well and strong!

Lots Love, Muaks!

More new clothes for you, Olympia.

Hello, Olympia, 

It's Deepavali (Public Holiday)  today but both mummy and papa decided to teach because the exams are nearing for all your kor kors and jie jies and papa had some replacement classes to conduct. 

I know it's not your fault, but mummy is really feeling the backaches, rib pains and stuff. Well, Dr. Yang says it's absolutely normal. Please continue to flip, kick, swim, breakdance, whatever in me. Be active. We really can't wait to bring u for a swim. 

You are a very lucky and blessed girl to have all the aunties buying you tonnes of stuff all the time. Haha. Fashionista Auntie Shar is right on top of the chart. She keeps on buying clothes for you like how she kept on buying for Heather jie jie the last time. Lucky and blessed you are. 

Today, Auntie Jackie bought a dress from one of her favourite shops, which is also one of mummy's favourite! The dress is so me! I mean,  my style but for you. It's one of mummy's favourite colours, tutu style and bling bling! All rolled into one lovely dress! I'm sure you'll love it just like how mummy adores it. 

Papa and mummy will be visiting Dr. Yang tomorrow. See you during the scan. Please show us everything about you! 

Lots love. Muaks!
