Hong Kong Day 2

What can i say... Half a day in disneyland is not enough for us, therefore we went there again on Day 2 of our HK trip... We woke up in the morning from our hollywood hotel and went for breakfast in the mickey mouse restaurant... Wow.. its great.. After breakfast, went straight to disneyland to continue our walk... took a lot of photos with mickey, minnie, goofy, and pluto and of course pooh... Y no piglet?

Anyway, at around 2pm, we took a train down to Chung Tung... to a factory outlet there... I thought factory outlet would be somewhere old and small.. but it turned out to be a shopping centre... Not bad har.. The goods there were cheap... i meant clothes from espirt, Nike, adidas and etc.. We bought alot of stuff from there... Hmm... i bought myself a Nike Manchester United Jacket... I personally like it a lot.. And of course alot of other cheap things e.g. timbleland... etc

We shopped till about 7p.m. and went back to hollywood hotel to wait for our bus to bring us back to hongkong island to check in to Eaton Hotel.

Went for late dinner after check-in.. was injured by a nail that was protruding from the carpet in our room... Called for hotel room service and this is the conversation:

He: Yes?

Me: There is a sharp material protruding from this carpet that injured me when i stepped on it...

(Even before he asked me about the sharp material...)

He: ANything else?

Me: Har?

He: Anything else besides the sharp material? Such a small thing you also can see, is there anything else you need our help?

(Isn't that rude!!!)

(At last, he went to touch the nail.)

He: Where?

( I then pointed and show him the sharp material that was protruding out of the carpet... unable to pull out)

Me: I told them if they could get something to pull in out b4 i stepped on it again..

(He then asked someone to come and pull it out, and i realised it was a nail.. They didn't bother to explain or do anything... Bad service... not going there anymore...

Angry Me...

Hong Kong Day 1

Hmm.. So long since my last post... So many things to say about my trip to hong kong.. haha Let's start from Day 1.. The food on the plane from singapore to Hong kong really sucks... Yucks. :( Once we reached Hong Kong Airport, we searched up and down for our transportation company! Haiz.. SA tour told me go towards the right and in the end the company is right to the left... What the! Anyway, after finding our transportation Co, we have to wait for a few more passengers to report b4 proceeding to the pickup point. They must have been searching high and low for them too.

We are lucky enough as we are the 3rd group to alight.. leaving about another 4 groups onboard.. can you image how long will it take for the last group to reach their hotel.. We reached Hollywood Hotel at disneyland at about 2p.m... I proceeded straight to the hotel lobby for registration and check-in, but my hubby was stopped by the bellboy.. He says check-in can only be done at 3 p.m. So he asked us to deposit our luggage with them. So we immediately went straight to the pick-up point to take the disneyland bus that will bring us to disneyland park. Haha... The joke comes... when we were on the bus, i started to wonder if i need to collect any pass from the hotel receptionist for the entry to DIsneyland.. We are entitled to each a two-day pass to Disneyland.. Haha.. nvm, so i decided to give it a try by giving the receipt of my tour package to gain entry to disneyland.. once we alighted, we have to walk about 15 minutes walk b4 reaching the entrance of Disneyland, on the way, there were attractions for us to pose and take photos.. at last we reached the entrance, i went to the ticketing counter and he don't recognise my receipt and advise us to check with the hotel. Haiz... Sad...

So, we walked another 15 minutes back to the bus terminal. We waited for 5 minutes on the bus once again we were on our way back to hollywood hotel. It was 2.40 p.m. when we reached the lobby, and i wanted to give it a try for the check-in.. and they allowed.. Haiz.. I requested for high-floor, but they told me that ours is a standard room so it is located at level 2 and 3.. they have a total of 8 levels.. unless i wanted to upgrade to deluxe.. Therefore we proceed to our room with our breakfast voucher and tickets to disneyland... Once we enter our room, there was this huge and unbearable sound of cigarettes .. I can't stand it and immediately called the operator. They then placed an air-refresher machine in the room.. At about 3 p.m. , we immediately left for disneyland, hoping to catch the disney parade at 3.30 p.m. which was conducted only once a day.. we don't wanna miss it..

We were lucky... we found a hot-spot, (which meant a very warm area w/0 shelter) no other place available.. :( The parade was nice with lots of music and dance... My hubby said we should bring Eshelle along, she definitely will enjoy these.. Yah, i thought so too.. then i told him its our honeymoon lei... Although i so much wanted to bring eshelle..

We proceeded with our tour around disneyland.. just one incident to report for the entire tour... I actually took the indoor roller coaster with my hubby... OMG... i dislike taking them.. it was dark in it... i cant see where the coaster was heading to.. i meant really dark... i felt myself flying out of my seat.. I cried when i came out of the ride.. :(

We ended the night with 20 minutes of beautiful fireworks at the palace of wonderland... It was so beautiful, i wonder how much they spend on that... Day 2 coming up soon.. More jokes and silly things that happened on the way.... Look out for them at the next few posts... :)

Reunion dinner at JSS

On last friday, my hubby and I went back to our secondary school and ate dinner with our secondary frens.,. Hmm what can i say... the food is bad.... Didn't had a good dinner... The firat dish... "Yu Sheng"... and they "lao" until we almost had nothing left to eat... and The joke of the night... Kailun was telling Caizheng if he wins TotO (10 million), he shall give her $1000 to buy a "victoria street" bra..... Haha.... It should be "victoria secret" bra... Caizheng was laughing so loudly that i used my hand to stop him from jumping up and down and accidentally gave him a scar on his nose... Poor him! Opps... Sorry.

After the dinner, we went prawning at a place near Jurong bird park.. didn't really note the name of the place.... I was playing so happily that i didn't want to go back... we "prawned" for 3 hours and returned back home... SO so happy!!!

the happy and tired girl...

'I can read!'

Finally, i have enrolled Eshelle into 'I can read' at Jurong east... $300 plus for 11 lessons... i brought her to the centre for an interview/diagnose... A teacher tested Eshelle on her English, and after 20 minutes.. the teacher gave the following statements...
* She has speech problems and advise to go look for speech theory and find out if she is really having problems.
* She is very mature and listens to teacher's instructions..
* She loves to express herself but is unable to deliver her words correctly..
She advised us to join a class for Eshelle to learn the phonics... and improve her pronunciation.. not bad har... i hope i can join too..
Went back and told her grandparents abt it... at last, i am bringing Eshelle to the polyclinic to get a referral to a government hospital for a speech checkup.. Eshelle will be attending 'I can read' class on every Wednesday 5p.m.! i will travel down to taman jurong and bring her there till i need to go back and study or find a job... So she will be in my care for the moment.. And when wei xin comes back from USA, i am gonna ask them to transfer Eshelle to a PAP school for her to study her K1 and K2... its better than her school now...

A busybody aunt...

Alll about Eshelle...

I am so sad that Eshelle can't speak in proper sentences and can't read most of the common words. i decided to ask celine's permission to bring eshelle to "I can read!". Eshelle surely need some help...

Anyway me and hubby were just talking about eshelle just now.. now we were thinking of bringing eshelle over to over place to stay... Study at the PAP at the block next to ours and enter "I can read!" i can be a nanny for this whole year... since i am so free.. isn't it? Just pay me the amount to feed her ... Hubby says since it is so crowded at their place now... And auntie also has another baby to take care... Haha.. i also hope i can treat eshelle as my daughter since i don't intend to get pregnant till i move to Punggol. Hmm... i am sure Eshelle's grandparents don't approve this idea... Just a thought... Why not? Isn't it better for me to teach her instead... Haha... i am sure i can't change her habit... ----Watching cartoons the whole day!!!---- & ---- Lazy to write and read ---

Eshelle's anut...

Scared Mummy

9th Day of Confinement

Had to thank Zhengjia and Gladys for making my night not that boring last night. Thanks for visiting and the ginger wine and chicken essence! Appreciate that!!! I cant go out and shop for anything... i have not been using money since 15th January... I want to go shopping!!!!!!!

Nie frens coming over on friday. hmm... hwei tsen asked if i am ready to meet them. What a cute question. Think they are afraid of me crying and getting emotional and not wanting to meet anyone ba. i really miss the days eating and chit-chatting with them. When can i do that again! I am really bored ... Looking forward to see them!!!

Confinement is not fun! Cannot have air-conditional... Eat all those food with sesame oil and ginger!! BUt lucky i can bath at least once every two days.. I will be cooking claypot rice for hubby and me later...

Bored girl

Still felt weird...

Its really quite difficult to adapt to a new environment. After getting married, i have to live together with my in-laws... previously, i stayed together with my grandparents... i have a room to myself and i can talk and laugh as much as i want...

Now, its nice to have a room that is really mine with my hubby lying next to me... someone to hug when i felt lonely. Even since i moved here, i often have this strange kind of feeling... i felt extremely 'empty' and will start to shiver... the feeling that makes you want to cry... that's even before Natelie left me...

My mother-in-law(Mother) is nice to be with, but she is also rather quiet... as for my father-in-law(Father)... he looks stern.... i tried to make some conversation... but sometimes it feels weird when i talk and he doesn't reply... i really hope to adapt myself into the family... i always wanted a happy family... Am i getting one?

My hubby's brother is also very nice. He cares and shows concern by calling my hubby and asking how i am feeling often.

Mother now always prepares soup for me before she goes to work and i will do the cooking for my lunch and dinner.. It really feels weird to be eating alone on the dining table with 3 dishes and a soup all to yourself. It really feels lonely... Confinement... Confinement can be very boring when you have to be at home for a month and eating all the same kind of food over and over again... but what's different for me, is that i do not have a baby to look after during confinement... I miss Natelie! I want to carry her in my arms, please tell me its all a dream!!!

Confinement mummy without a baby

The worst period of my life!!

15th January to 27th January had been the worst period in my life!! What can be worst? Haven i had enough of sad and weeping days... I wanted a family of my own and lead a simple and happy life, is that really difficult! Getting married wasn't easy for me, i had to go through so much in order for the wedding to be held successfully. The tears if collected could as least filled half of a baby pool!!! I thought everything is over and i could live happily with my husband, in-laws and my dear Natelie... but things just don't go well for me...

On 15th January, i went for a detail scan of Natelie. Checked the heart, eyes, lungs, kidney, brain. nose, fingers and toes, etc.... Everything was fine!!! Great! Lastly, doctor had to check my cervix ... through the scan, he saw that my cervix was very short... so he was surprised! he asked me to empty my bladder and he checked through my vagina, he immediately called my gene and inform him that he saw the waterbag membrane through my vagina and my cervix was opened at 7cm.

I was confused at a moment, didn't know what he meant... he explained to me and i then realised it was serious... i really didn't know what to do! Hwei Tsen was with me... i started weeping... She helped me to call my hubby as the doctor wanted me to be admitted immediately if not i would have a 90% chance of miscarriage. Again... admitted!!!

I was brought to the same room as the last time when i had a threatened miscarriage... my sister came immediately. doctor came and explained that i have to undergo a surgery to tighten my cervix so to safeguard my natelie. Therefore on 16th December, i undergo the 1st surgery of my life. I thought i could save my baby after doing that. Doctor said that there will still be chances of a miscarriage! i has to lay on bed and have prolong bedrest. Therefore i applied for absence of leave from MOE/NIE. I laid on the bed to prevent things from happening... During this period on bed, i had discharge that i have not been having before the surgery! I was also having infection and if it continue to raise, i will be in danger! I was also told that my waterbag is leaking!!! Then on 22nd January, i went for an utrascan and realised that my accumulated water in my waterbag is about 7cm which is lesser than normal! Doctor told us to be mentally prepared that we have to make a decision on Wednesday! I was mentally tired.. really tired for staying in the hospital for 2 weeks lying on the bed... On Monday, we went for the scan again hoping for some hope that the waterbag has more water than previously... now, the scan show that it was only 2cm left with water... and the consultant told us that there will be 80 to 90% chance that baby will have lung infection due to lack of water and may hv to rely on equipment to breathe when borne... He said that i will be infected and life will be in danger if it happens! He advised us to abort the baby.

Abort the baby!!! WHY ME!!!! why does it happen to me! On 25th January, both me and hubby decided to let go. I wept for the whole night. On 26th January, i went to my doctor's clinic to remove the stitch and the doctor inserted a tablet for contractions to take place. I was wheeled back to my ward. On my bed, i had to wait for that moment to happen! i had 3 hours of contractions and around 3 plus, i felt something!!! I had to deliver my baby... it was painful... not physically but mentally... the feeling of delivery is supposed to be happy but mine... it was mentally killing me... i was afraid and did not dare to see... baby was out after a few minutes... I felt her moving for a while between my legs... I cried and was shouting that i was 'scared!!" my hubby hold on to my hands and covered my eyes... he saw our baby... he said he wanted to see... he said her nose were liked mine and legs were long.... he saw her small little fingers and toes... i didn't dare to see...

My placenta was not out... they took baby away from us and i was again wheeled to the OT for a clean up! Hubby went to touch baby's face and apologised to her... I was back to my ward and had a low BP and needed blood immediately. I was semi-conconcious for about an hour. After so, everything was over!!! All gone.... my natelie had left us!!! My days were different no longer the same anymore...

A mother's pain

Is that my daddy?

I really very disappointed with my daddy. Since 15th December, the day i was admitted to the hospital, he has not visited me at all till the day after i lost my baby, then he decided to call me. What's the use of calling? His daughter is in the hospital for 2 weeks and he nv give a call or visit her at all in the hospital and the reason he gave is "he is busy!! and he didn't realise it would be so serious!!" I am her daughter and you cant find an hour or so to visit me despite serious or not!! I was really very disappointed. He said he wanted to visit me on his off day last week! My aunts and cousin came, but waited for him...... he nv show up! I called him and he said he is not coming and that he had just quarrelled him his wife! That's the reason? I was even disapoointed so does my husband! He then asked my hubby to go to his store and get some money for me to buy "pu"! My hubby is only free in the morning so i asked him to go over in the morning around 12 plus. Guess what, i received a sms from my daddy asking him to go only after 4 plus... reason... he don't have to say and i can guess it! The 'woman' is there in the morning helping my dad with his business!! He don't want her to know that he is giving me money!! Hey!!! What's wrong with that! Anyway, i told my hubby not to go over and take le... Firstly, i am not desperate for his money to buy "pu" and my hubby needs to work too...
