Anyway, this week had been a tremendously tiring one. Reaching my workplace daily at 7 in the morning is quite an achievement. Given that i still officially start work at 8.30am and finish at 6pm.I managed to clear all my transaction monitorings and have printed all the coaching logs. But what made it worse was the current situation in BKK and BOM. We had a surge of calls since last week and adding to that, it only worsen condition with the blast and terrorist attacks. Needless to say, our service level went down but our stress level went up. Tasks and complaints were never ending. At a point i just felt like an octopus; with 4 pairs of tentacles instead of a pair of hands. Sigh.. well of course i did not face this alone but hey.. give us a break! Work seemed endless. At the end of the day, i ponder on all that happened. Why... why did it happen? What's happening to the world? What's happening to the place we call our homes? Why do they resort to such violence when we are all human beings? Why take away lives and hurt one another when there are other ways to resolve things? Well......... i pray that hopefully one day we can all live peacefully.. amin. God bless to those innocent souls and all those who suffered in any way.
Today marked my 28th week for this pregnancy; which is equivalent to 7mths. I guess she must have grown alot bigger by now. I'm amazed by the ticklish feeling of her moving/ rolling/ stretching/ kicking inside my tummy. At times when i'm at home, usually on the bed, i like to watch my tummy. There'll be times when i just stare at my tummy movements when she moves inside me. haha.... it's really hard to describe... the feeling, the wonder.. it's like a miracle. =)
Looking forward to yet another appointment with the gynae on monday..
Ok, that's all for now. Till the next entry....

Woke up as usual thou it's a weekend. This is what i call "body alarm". haha..
Anyways, met nozie for breakfast today @ KFC cwp. Tried their new breakfast menu.
I had the american wrap, while nozie had the waffle set.. which she said made her 'langit-langit' feel dry.. the meal came with honey biscuit.. the one like popeyes biscuit.. just that KFC's had honey on the biscuit and the size is slightly smaller.
Afterwhich i accompanied her to Vicom (yishun) to get her car inspected.. well, we both have never been there n do not know what to expect actually. But it was kind of a learning experience for us. haha... we both watched the car being inspected from one 'station' to the other and as nozie said, it felt like taking an exam. hehe. So yeah, no problem and everything was over in about 20mins -including paying of the road tax thingy. Luckily there were not too many vehicles..
Then, since we dont have anywhere else to go next, nozie drove me home and up til now i've been on the lappie surfing net.. i even took a 20-mins nap with the lappie still switched on. hehe. Boring cos nothing much to do.. oh, speaking of which i actually have laundry to do.. it's washed already but hasnt been hang to dry yet.. maybe i'll get hubby to do it later once he's back -else he will nag at me again.. as my tummy is getting bigger, hubby has scolded me time and again for hanging the clothes to dry outside the window on the bamboo pole.. yes, its kind of heavy, but hey.. i'm used to it what... but nowadays i relented.. have to think of our dear baby..
And talking abt the baby... we both realised it's not easy choosing a name fo our princess.. Actually we had already decided.. but then, my elder sis looked up in her arabic dictionary and said the name origin isnt in arab.. which means, it's meaning-less and no such word in arab.. oh well... we found the names in a website for muslim baby names.. but it turned out that the resource may not be right. So, we are back to square one and have to find a replacement... haiz.. there are names which i really liked, but hubby didnt.. and names that he liked, but i dont.. hmm... hopefully we decide soon. pening sey..
Ok, hubby's back.. i need to re-heat the food now.. till then... =)

Despite the blur-ness in my left eye, here goes an entry.....
Haha.. sorry if there is any typo error in this entry cos i'm more of letting my fingers find the letters on the keyboard with the help of my right eye. Thanks to my new pair of contact lens which is suspected to be contaminated. There goes a 1-month disposable contact lens which i could wear only for 1 day. Which resulted my poor left eye to be left in this state. hurhur...
Ok, it isnt very serious - i hope so... Just that yesterday while at work, i felt something isnt right with my left eye.. I should have taken that as a signal.. but as my specs was left at home, do i have the choice to remove my contact lens there and then? obviously not. Thus, i carried on and tried my best to ignore the irritating feeling. Until noon, i realised that my vision started to get blurry and i start to feel sting-ing sensation in my left eye... My left eye started to be teary.. it went away for a while... but worsen later. Ok, so at 6pm sharp.. i left for home. On the way home, i fell asleep in the train and was awoke by stronger sting-ing. Damn. Cannot tahan already. So, when i reached Admiralty, called mummy to ask if daddy could fetch me from home later to bring me to Jireh Clinic. I wasnt trying to be a pampered mummy/daddy's girl, but since there isnt a direct bus from home to the clinic, and i really dont feel like cabbing there, i thought if daddy is free he could do me this favour. hehe. Also, because it was almost 8pm already.. so if i waste more time, the clinic might close for the day. So yeah, i went home, took off the lenses and put on my specky instead. Daddy came and off we go.
Doc checked my eye and said it could be conjunctivis. Prescribed me this eye drop which stings even more but he said it should be better in 2-3days. He then told me something which really really really made me felt so low... "Oh yes, NO CONTACT LENS for 1week. Also, discard that pair of contact lens -thou they are new." Like an obedient girl, i just nodded my head thou it's quite heart-breaking to hear that.. For someone who's contact lens-dependant since the age of 17. Haiz.... So to further avoid unnecessary infection/complication, i just follow lor....
He gave me an MC for today... but since i have quite a number of follow-ups to do today, i just had to go to work -yes, with my specs on. Initially i didnt plan to use the MC at all.. as long as it doesnt affect my work.. but then the blurry vision was still there... i had to pull the computer monitor nearer to me and all.. so by noon i felt that i over-strained my right eye.. so yes, i told my manager who then told me to go home.
Reached home, texted hubby to inform him, had late lunch, used the eye drop and took a quick nap. Woke up and took a hot hot shower (as it's raining heavily here..) I'm much fresher now.. but the weather is making me feel kinda sleepy all over again. Haha.....
Anyways, one of agents got a call from a priority member today.. whom i felt he made himself looked like a fool. no names to be mentioned here. sorry for the language. but really.... he told my agent that he will be flying from sydney-singapore on BUSINESS class next week on our flight.. and asked if he could bring 2 cases of wine onboard. Well, obviously the answer is NO cos he's bringing in a couple of bottles. For those who dont know, tourists into singapore are only allowed max 1-litre of wine. My agent checked with me and i taught her how to guide the member to find out about the info from webiste. My agent also told him that this is under singapore customs regulations. And guess what? He said "Yes i know that. I've read already. That's why i'm calling you. I'm a loyal member and a frequent flyer. If you cant help, put me thru to your manager." -DUH! who does he think he is? to ask for such an exception where law is in place and all... haiz.
Okies.... that's all for now. Gotta go rest. Till the next entry... peace.

Ooops....
I realized it has been too long since my last update.. yes, which was before raya.. Anyways, what i could say is that this raya was definitely a tiring but fulfilling one. My sincere apologies to those whom we did not have the chance to visit during raya. Time flies so fast that we didnt even manage to visit some of the not-very-close relatives.. Will make it a point to visit those we missed this year on the next one InsyaAllah..
Not many pics taken this year... *sobsob*.. unlike the past years, we always take a family photo with my own family and his.. but this year nobody bothered. Oh well... next year is a MUST okie?
By the way, Selamat Pengantin Baru to my dear fren Nur Faizah n hubby, Md Akhirshan on 1st Nov 2008.. Semoga mahligai yg dibina berkekalan hingga ke syurga... Amin.
On the other hand, Congratulations to Kak Yati n Abg Faizal on the birth of their 2nd child.. Filzah Haziqah on 3rd Nov 2008.. Semoga menjadi anak yg solehah, InsyaAllah...
Ey.. guess what? while blogging this i suddenly hear bunyi kompang from downstairs... as i'm sitting next to my window, i looked down and true enough.. ade pengantin... haha... i forgot, there's a malay wedding at the multi-purpose hall near my block..so that's the reason for that... Selamat Pengantin Baru to the couple.. whoever you are.... =)
Hmm... nothing much to blog about work... work is the same old thing but i'm feeling even tired nowadays... oh, with effect from tomorrow onwards, my team will expand with 4 more agents under me. Oh God.. i just hope this doesnt mean more stress from escalations. haha...
2nd trimester is ending soon.. which means, 3 more months to go before the D-day.. when i think about it, everything seems to happen in a blink. Memories of the miscarriage is still fresh in my mind.. Thoughts of my depression after it happened. Those frequent trips to Kiddy Palace to look at baby stuff thou i knew in harsh reality that it was not meant to be -yet. The disappointment to our parents and ourselves. Hubby's careful choice of comforting words.. The encouragement and moral support from family, best friends and colleagues.. but things changed one and a half months later.. I got pregnant all over again and i must say the 1st trimester wasnt as easy as i imagined it to be.. 2nd trimester was smooth-sailing... Alhamdulillah... and i hope it will continue to be just like that till D-day which hubby and me is soooo looking forward to. Oh anyway, we are expecting a junior me.. hehe.. yes, our very own princess.. =)
Dont worry, it's not an all-pink affair... haha... long-term planning.. =P
Oh anyways, i finally got the baby pink LG KU99oR.. haha.. decided to use the corporate individual scheme with singtel.. did my calculations and even if i dont use the line at all, the total amount after 24mths is the price of the phone w/o contract.. so it's like an installment scheme.. haha.. yes yes.. i'm so complicated i know.
