28th Week Update

How time flies - it's been more than a month since I last updated. I'm halfway through my 28th week now, fast approaching the 29th week. I've put on about 17 damned kilos so far and I hate how round I look right now. I look and feel outright disgusting, to put it simply. It's hard to explain to the husband because he insists I'm fine when I know I'm not. There are billions of pregnant women out there and most of them are not even half my size. Quitting smoking as soon as I knew I was pregnant caused this, I'm pretty sure, and I have no idea how I'm gonna lose this weight after the baby is born.

As a result, I am hesitant to go out and meet people these days, apart from the friends whom I know won't judge me. Yet there are like a million gatherings to attend and I don't know how to tell the husband that I don't wish to go for any of them. I managed to skip all of the weddings so far, but then there are birthday celebrations, house warmings, and I can't possibly skip all of them. I could tell the husband I don't wish to attend, but he wouldn't be pleased. He just doesn't understand that I don't feel good about myself and my appearance these days. But I guess for all that he's done for me, this is probably the least I could do for him. Well, good news is, I'm halfway through the pregnancy and I only have about 12 weeks of this left to go. Excitedly counting down as every week passes because I just can't wait to give birth already.

Not much has happened these days; we're still waiting for results of the HDB paperwork/applications to go through before we can finally apply for our own flat. Eagerly awaiting the day where the husband finally has his name removed from the current flat. I'm really, really looking forward to having a home of our own...

  1. I very muc agree with you. This is a dreadful company, always protecting their sellers. In my case a cheating seller who sent an inferior procuct, different from the advertisement, blocked my return request. Shopee sided with him by doing nothing. They did not respond to my emails in substance, kept asking irrelavant details, then accepted the sellers token offer of 1 Peso refund. Do not use their services!

Review on Shopee & Its Unethical Sellers

I am fuming mad right now. I've shopped online since I was 15 and have always loved the convenience of having things delivered to you, right at your doorstep. It was a great alternative to having to visit retail shops personally, squeezing with the crowd and all. But not once have I had such a terrible experience. So I was introduced to Shopee sometime last year. I'd heard raving reviews about it, like how the things there were super cheap and whatnot. Everything was good initially, lots of promo codes, vouchers to use, etc. But this platform has grown and expanded so much that I think they're starting to get cocky. They don't even care about the interests of their buyers anymore. I have submitted countless feedbacks, genuinely trusting that sth would be done but nope. They probably think it's enough implementing penalty/demerit points on irresponsible sellers, but c'mon. The bulk of these sellers don't fucking care. A few negative reviews or a few scre

16+4 Weeks Pregnant; Experience at NUH O&G

Today I am 16+4 weeks pregnant with baby Dino. What an experience it's been thus far. It still feels very surreal that I am married and pregnant, and there are just so many new things I'm learning about pregnancy everyday that sometimes I wonder if I'll be able to cope. I don't think I have coped well so far, what with the awful first trimester and the gaining of weight (I've put on nearly 8 kgs). But at the end of the day I am still super psyched to welcome the arrival of my firstborn, and I am already looking forward to Sept :) Just thought I'd share my experience at NUH O&G so far. Overall it hasn't been that much of a pleasant experience for the husband and I. First of all the waiting times are crazy , and it doesn't even matter if you're scheduled for an appointment at 9.30 am because you'll have to wait at least  two hours to see the doc anyway. Not sure if it's because of our gynae (we were assigned Dr Vanaja, a senior consultant

Wedding Banquet Planning: Summer Garden Restaurant - Qianxi Group (SAFRA Mount Faber)

Delayed post about our experience while researching for places to hold our wedding reception. We actually scoured high and low for the best deal, and visited quite a few venues as well. One of them which I'd like to particularly address today is Summer Garden @ Qianxi, SAFRA Mount Faber. After doing some research online, we decided to visit the venue for a site recce and texted the contact number provided. I received a call from one "Torrance", who spoke with me briefly and obtained the dates which we were keen to hold our wedding on. He then followed up with a text message to inform me of his contact number. Later on that day, he sent another text message to ask for updates, and I informed him that we may be going down that evening for a site recce. His replies were curt, but I thought nothing of it as I presumed he must be very busy dealing with enquiries everyday. However, he asked for the banquet date again even though I had just informed him earlier that morning.
