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!

Third Last Monday with Olympia in Me :)

 Hello my dear Olympia, 

Today is the third last Monday with you in Mummy ...

It's less than three weeks to your arrival!

You stroller was delivered today!

See how happy Papa is!

We had a great day out also ... 

Papa bought Mummy the yummy coconut drink.

I'm having this twice weekly.

After sending our car for servicing, 

we also watch Kung Fu Jungle.

Nice Kung Fu show ...

Now, Papa also wants you to learn Kung Fu?!

After the movie, we shopped a bit and also chilled out at Daiso,

Bought more stuff for you. (Never ending, I know right? :p)

Also bought something for your Fur Bro... Haha ...

Charcoal looks so adorable ya? Yes? 

We then had dinner with ZhiShin Jie Jie, Joee Kor Kor / Uncle and Wayne Kor Kor (I forgot his request to call him Kor Kor or Uncle)

You must be feeling very full now?

Mummy is!

In fact, we did not just have dinner.

We had steamboat dinner, lok lok as second round and finally at the finally-opened U Desserts!

Well, Mummy cannot have the usual sweet stuff and opted for Red Bean Paste :)

However, both feet are still swollen!

See you on December 5 morning my dear girl.

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.

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!

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.

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! 

Getting the load ready!

Last day of W29, going to W30...

Packing for Olympia

Dear Olympia, your room is full of things that we've bought for you. Of course, also with things that mummy's wonderful friends bought for you.

I've to start packing and categorising your things. I guess all the clothes must be washed and ready by end of November. Well, you've a whole wardrobe of clothes! 

Vain mummy also has sort of decided on two baby bags which must of course match mummy's bags. A medium size one and a large size one. Don't worry, we will both always look presentable despite people saying that when you're born, we've no time for this and that. We'll definitely do fine. 

Love these two customised romper that I ordered online (using papa's credit card). Haha. Papa has been very generous with you! 

In the meantime, happy swimming and kicking. See you soon (when it is time) ! 

Hey, Olympia...

Hello Olympia,
I was trying to decide on a baby bag for you (ok, for me to carry)
and thought of using the B35 BUT
it is too heavy!
Decided not to, especially when I still have to carry you!
I have also stocked up your hankies, towels, blankets, etc.
They are soooooooo soft!
Love the little booties too.
Auntie Carlene helped to pick them up from the store.
I think one set of hankies and towel were picked up by her also.
Being the typical kiasu mummy,
I decided that one set is not going to be enough!
Well, so I rushed to the store and picked up another set!
In the meantime, I have found 2 suitable baby bags (from my current collection).
I will have to decide or well, maybe carry them alternatively?

Thank you to all the Aunties who have been pampering you!
Auntie Zoelyn bought you the track suit.
(ready for your swim training?)
And cute stuff Auntie Marj bought!
Lots more.
Sorry, I haven't been diligent in taking photos of all your new clothes
from the wonderful aunties.

Papa bought you this Hello Kitty.
It is so him to buy you this.
Hello Kitty in her swim wear and goggles!
I was surfing the net and remembered that I bought for Kyan kor kor
a BMW car and BMW bike to match your Godma Ni's BMW.
I must get you a Merc to match Papa's Merc!
(Too early? Opps)

I've been eating far too well and consuming far too much carbohydrates.
The sugar level shot up slightly higher than it should be.
Sorry, Olympia.
I've been conscientiously cutting down and counting carbs!
Look at mummy's healthy breakfast.
Love the new milk I've found!
Low in carbs and high in calcium.
Tasteless, yes but all for the good of you, and honestly
for mummy!
I've been losing weight as you gain.
Please do absorb everything that I am eating.

Since controlling my carbs and making sure I am consuming Low GI food,
I've lost a couple of kgs.
I am absolutely glad!
I even found some good and healthy snacks!
Missing the Essence of Chicken and I read the nutritional label.
Good!
Low carb!
Shall cook Essence of Chicken, Chicken!
