handphone battery hunt

Met up with sis yday & left my hph on the food court table, when i went back, it's GONE! sHIT! Now have to call Singtel to suspend my SIM card & get a new hph....... waste $$$. Managed to get a replacement SIM card at Hello! shop, the lady informed me that I've to pay extra $100 for a new hph as my line is only due for 21mth upgrade on 5th Sept..... wat MORE $$$! Then I remembered I've a spare hph but with faulty battery. What the hack, a new battery is cheaper than a new hph, anyway it's only to last me till 5th Sept (a non-original battery only cost $10).

Wasn't really bothered till I reached home then I realised without a hph & no land line at home, I'm literally cut off from this world! Sharks!!!! What if my bb Kitty decides to pop tomorrow or I falls or faint or...... I'll not be able to dial for help! Quickly I went in search for my spare hph, trying to remember where I've buried it. Phew! finally found it stucked in between my clothes in my drawer. So today, after my gynae I'm gonna get a new battery.

Visit to Dr Lee, my gynae, is as usual short. Was told that bb Kitty is 2.87kg from the scan, but Dr Lee says she maybe bigger than that! Wow, no wonder my peivic area is aching like nobody's business. Took a cab to Elias Mall to get the battery. On reaching, I realised the hph shop has folded..... SHiiiiit, I still plan to hitch a ride home in CF's school bus after the purchase, but now I've to look for another shop.... So I went to Pasir Ris MRT's Singtel shop but was told that my phone model is too old, they no longer stock the battery...WHAT!!!! Ok fine, I needed the battery no matter what, so I tried my luck at the Starhub shop in White Sands. The sales was on the phone when I walked in. He turned to look at me, I showed him my hph & said "Battery?", he just shook his head & was back yakking on the phone again.....what kinda service is this.......arghhhhhhh...... no choice I really need the battery TODAY... so the next best bet is the Hello! shop at Tampines Mall.


Off I go in the MRT to Tampines Mall, only to be told "Sorry Miss, this model is too old, battery no more stock..." but the sales was really helpful, he suggested that I can try the Nokia Service Ctr at Century Sq. By now I'm tired & my legs are groaning after all the walking & the extra 2.87kg weight, huhhhh, still expect me to walk to the next building!!! Oh, how I miss my bed, my pillow, my cool aircon bedrm & my 'babes room' chatting.......

BUT STILL.... I dragged my feet there, all the while keeping my fingers crossed. Haiz, guess today is not my lucky day, no battery either at the Nokia Service Ctr. When I was at the Ctr, I took a peek at the pricing..... omg... original Nokia batteries cost a bloody $58! That's it, I can't go on any more, my legs were going to break, I needed a seat! Spotting a Haagen Daz eating area, I plonked myself down on 1 of their soft & comfy sofa & ordered an apple pie with 2 scoops of their yummy ice-cream ...hmmmm....heavenly...the best thing so far after a day of hunting. While savouring my treat, I did a quick calculation ... if I were to pay $58 for a battery, I must as well top up another $40 for a new hph now then to wait till 5th Sept. So, after 3hrs of unfruitful battery hunting, I finally decided to get a new hph... what a waste of time & money (the ice-cream cost me a whooping $18)!

Hack, went back to Hello! shop at Tampines Mall, took a que no. to purchase a hph. Omg, I realised all their service counters don't have seats, oh, my poor, poor legs. Finally, it's my turn. This sales guy at the counter was so cute looking hehehe.... On seeing me, he promptly said "Hi Ms, let me get u a chair." Hey, that was soooo thoughtful. He offered me a high stool, but er.... a bit too high for a heavily preggie me. Then the cute guy said "Wait, let me lower it for u." with that he got on the stool & lowered it to a comfortable height for me, awwwww soooooo sweet, that's what I call good service (remembering the Starhub sales...pui!). None of the hph on display appeals to me, so I just picked an affordable Nokia, paid & took a cab home.
Xainz, now I'm stuck with a hph I don't like for the nxt 2yrs :( Well, people always say to look on the bright side, so the bright side of losing my phone.... I don't have to worry about missing any calls the whole of today hahahaha........

Lastly, to the snigger who took my phone, MAY MY PHONE BLOWS UP UR FACE!!! $#@*!^#

36weeks & counting .....

Just went to the gynae, gosh, I'm now 62kg & bb kitty is 2.5kg. Wow, she really put on fast, 2 weeks ago she was only 1.8kg! Popped by Stemcord to sign the cord blood banking agrreement. Got a real gd price: originally was $750 (a special rate for patients of Gleneagles gynae) which was reduce to $450 as Stemcord is having a promotion. That amount was further reduced by $50 with credit card promotion. kekeke.... in the end I only paid $400 + $20 (GST)!
Didn't do much for the rest of the week. Managed to clear out a drawer for bb's clothing. Daddy has finally get down to rearranging the study to accomodate the bb cot, but has yet to set up the cot. Hopefully, he'll do it this weekend. Bought a pair of pretty, cute curtains with animal prints from Ikea yesterday for the bb room.


Hmmmm.... what else need to be done.... there's the pink stack of rompers to be washed, laundry the bumper, buy a matress & fitted sheet for the confinement lady, write down a list of impt ctc nos. for daddy & MIL, stock up the kitchen.... OMG.... so much things to do, but so little time....

yawnzzz... feeling sleepy again.

5yr old's 1st encounter with a breast pump

My sis gave me a breast pump last night. Farn being curious as usual asked: "Mummy, what is this?"
"Oh, it's a pump for pumping milk from the breast."
"What's a breast?" So I pointed to my breast.
"Can you show me how it works?"
"Mummy will show you when I'm using it."
"Can you show me now?"
"Now? No, 'cos mummy don't have milk now, must wait till baby kitty comes out."
"It's ok, you can use my milk."
Huh???? Mummy is speechless.....
Then Farn continued: "Can you use it for other drinks?"
"Er...... no, only for milk."
"Can it make blue berries juice?"
HUH??????????? Maybe he thought it works like a juicer.....kekekeke
"Er.....no,dear. Alright time for your bedtime stories!" With that, I quickly put away the pump in case he came up with more weird questions.

My gal

Finally it's confirmed. A little princess is going to join our family of 3. I'm now 26 wks preggie. What a long journey. Looking back, when my pregnancy 1st started, I was having very bad morning sickness. I was totally miserable & upset. I even wished that I'll have a miscarriage to end this pregnancy. My doctor told me that if I don't do something about my emotions now, I'll go into depression.Fortunately, I manage to get over it with the help of my doc, supporting hubby, family & friends. Now that I'm counting down to my 3rd Tri, I'm glad that my little princess is here to stay. I've wished for a baby gal for so long. I even have the name ready way before I am pregnant. Wonder who she will resembles..........
