<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Today I feel grateful to have met my husband! Not like I've never felt this way before! But today my gratitude towards him is stronger, so I have to express my feelings here! I've meet you at my tender age, the transition of a teenage girl to a 20 years old woman! Thank you for putting up with my sassy attitude then, I had lots of emotional problems and often acting defensive and aggressive over trivial matters! I was restless and ignorant, but you were a real gentleman, even though I thought you might give up on me after so many disastrous fights I've created! But you forgave me and loved me unconditionally, it's you who showed me the light and cheered me up after the storms! You didn't even hold any grudges against me! I bow to your big heart! You always surrender to me the moment I went mad, because you understand that nothing can be solved in the heated argument, so you gave in to me and slowly make me see that I can be a better me today! I admit that I am spoiled by you! But I am no longer a little girl of yesterday! I have grown up into a woman! I will take care of you for this life and the next life! Because it's my honor to be your wife! I treasure every moment sharing with you and it's my turn to put up with your moody attitude sometimes! Because I love you and I'm giving you the best of me!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Today is the first time I am going to see my baby!! The feeling is indescribable but it's such a surreal experience!! Seeing my baby gave me a touching feeling, even though I laughed and smiled a lot while watching the baby's movement inside my womb, you are so active and you couldn't stop moving your hands and legs while the nurse wanted to take pictures of you! One moment you even somersaulted like a gongfu master!! You got mama's attitude, guarding and social distance!! Haha, the moment the scanner stopped pressing on you, you became calm and sucked your thumb!! Such a smart baby, you surprised me, at 12 weeks you are already practicing self-help, I am so proud of you!</span></div>

<br />
While on a taxi from Orchard Road back home, my mind drifted into deep thoughts! Even though I haven't had any symptoms of my pregnancy yet but I realized this is so real! I'm afraid this will get even more real! Ready or not, I have come to terms that I have to take it seriously! Closed my eyes and I visualised the scene of me playing with my kid as he/she running towards me! I would hug him/her so tightly!When my kid grow up and have to be far away from my side, I would cry! I feel the sign of possessiveness in me! I can't let my kid work in an airline job! I would miss him/her so much!<br />
<br />
I don't want to have a miscarriage at all! I want to hold my kid dearly, kiss his/her soft hair and let them know how much I love him/her, just like how I always show how much laogong means to me and I love him unconditionally!<br />

I got brownish spottings until now, not really care when it would go away, but I managed to recover from my running nose by drinking lemon water diligently!! My hubby was surprisingly in a good mood since the day after my check up in hospital, occasionally he still tease me about my pregnancy!😂 I hope he remains like this, makes me less stressful!!! My fingers crossed until the next check up on 23rd of March! 😂<br />
<br />
Some update about my pregnancy! Tomorrow I will officially be 10 weeks pregnant but I still don't have any annoying symptoms, I still exercise daily and my weight is 43 kg now!😊<br />
<br />
- Thursday 12 March 2015<br />
<br />
You are 11 weeks today baby! I can't feel you yet and don't really have any symptoms besides noticing my breast growing bigger! I am not complaining, I hope that I am one of the lucky mothers that can sail through nine months peacefully! My stomach is still flat, no bump yet! Maybe because I exercise daily, at least 30 to 45 minutes a day!<br />
<br />
I'm glad that I haven't experienced morning sickness or fatigue yet! Sometimes I do get dizzy spells but it just last for a while or so! I'm still so active that I cleaned all the windows by standing on the cabinet ledge! I do it carefully though!<br />
<br />
Next time I want to buy a world map and a geographical globe to play "travel the world" with you! We will learn all about the world together! You will be able to tell me how many continents are there, how many oceans on Earth, name them all and learn all about the world! I am fascinated by the fact that we can learn so many things together! Whatever you're interested, I will be learning with you!<br />

When I was listening to my music, as I sang along to my favorite song Run by Leona Lewis, my tears flow down like a broken water tap! The lyric was so sad! As if I am gonna lose someone, which my brain imagine if it's my baby! I told myself you are just a cell now, I forbid myself to feel emotionally attached to you or possessive over you! I can't help but develop more and more feelings for you each day! Don't ever leave me, I will never give you up because you're mine! I'll always be with you, right beside you! So stay with me as long as you can! ☺️<br />

I cooked a huge pot of 500g of black beans today!! Black beans are good for pregnancy, very nutritious! So after I finished simmering them, the beans became soft! I will keep them in a container and refrigerate them, so that I can eat for days!!!<br />
<br />
I must take good care of myself! No matter what, my baby will have to be healthy and smart so I try to eat food that provide the nutrition I need for a healthy pregnancy! Sometimes I crave for some certain things but I stop myself from having it if it's not beneficial to my body! My husband is good to point out what food I should avoid and I really appreciate his help on that! I limited my intake of salt or sugar and cut down on spicy food. I drink plenty of water and milk, but steer away from carbonated beverages.😁<br />

Laogong bought a whole lots of fruit for me today!! Now in our refrigerator we have avocados, apples, oranges, pomegranates, kumquat, lemon, guava, starfruit, jackfruit, mango, blueberries, jambu and plums!! My favorite is blueberries and laogong bought 5 packs for me!!! I am so spoilt by him!!!💋<br />
<br />
Laogong also managed to buy fresh white anchovies for me!! Lately I like to eat anchovies, I can cook omelette or add some to my oatmeal!! We went to Isetan Japanese food fair and Laogong also bought lots of Japanese fish cakes for me and 2 packets of smelt tempura!! I love snacking on these!!💖<br />
<br />
I felt so loved! Thank you Laogong!!! You always try to give me the best no matter what!! I am grateful to have you as my husband!! I will try not to be too sensitive or let my emotions ruin my mood!! I must know that you have the right to be moody at times!! You are human, not a robot! So I'll be a better wife, just for you!😘Bear Bearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07428957105564931077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29881506.post-52666554928744980132017-04-03T09:28:00.000+08:002017-04-03T20:36:10.058+08:00Baby Diary Part 2Saturday 21 February 2015 🦅<br />
<br />
Laogong brought me to the Bird Park today! He got us two tickets with the one year unlimited visits! We went to The Turf Club yesterday but we were still able to wake up as early as 7:30am today!<br />
<br />
The trip was super fun!! After more than 10 years I could join the bird feeding session again! Even though my hubby got a serious face and a smelly attitude since yesterday night, it's because he thought of having a kid in the future, again! But soon after the breakfast, he opened up his heart to me and told me about his thoughts. I appreciate how much laogong loved me, he is my guardian angel, and even though he was afraid that the kid will take away all his time spending with me, but I won't let this happen! We will still have fun, just some changes in the future and we will be able to have fun even with three persons! Please have faith in me! I will sail our boat safely and we will enjoy our journey!💪🏻<br />

Laogong is still on leave since Wednesday! Today I got a craving to eat Spring Rolls but I realized we only have 6 rice papers left!! So I asked laogong to go and buy for me! He was efficient, he changed clothes and went to buy whatever I need!! I love my husband so so much!! He loved me very much too! Even though he couldn't get rice paper for me as they were all sold out, so we only had 6 spring rolls and those tasted heavenly!👏🏻<br />

<br />
Today laogong took leave to rest at home! I suddenly wanted to do the second home pregnancy test, as I still don't feel pregnant at all, so I just wanted to see if my pregnancy is still there! Sadly, it showed a very fainted line on the test kit! But I won't be too upset, I will still resume my life as it was before! There was a lump in my throat, but only for now! There is always a bright side of the life! It doesn't mean when you are unable to attain something, you lose everything! I still have a happy life ahead with my husband! I will move on with my life!<br />
Don't cry over spilled milk, I won't!<br />
<br />
But laogong was trying to cheer me up by saying he will make another baby with me! I know he is kind and just anxious if I looked upset! Don't worry bearbear, I still have hope! But thank you for your kind intentions, it warms my heart! ☺️<br />

Today I noticed some light pink stains on my toilet tissue after I wiped myself! I started to worry! Like freaked out! For whatever reasons! I get the fear of miscarriage! I urged my husband to make a hospital appointment! My husband straight away called the hospital to schedule my appointment! But it was late at night, so we have to wait until tomorrow! After I calmed down, I realized that I was over thinking, probably not something to worry at all! Que sera sera! Whatever will be, will be!<br />
<br />
Anyway, the calls my husband made to the hospital reassured me about his concern and care towards me! I'm touched, therefore I felt loved and let it be! If it's meant to be, it will be!<br />
<br />
By the way, I went to the toilet a second time to carefully check if I still got the pinkish stain, but not at all! So let's wait and see.<br />

My husband came home from his Johor business trip and brought me to the Jurong Polyclinic for the pregnancy check up! I did a urine test and the result was positive! ❤ I was in the 9th week of my pregnancy! ❤️ The doctor prescribed 5mg of Folic acid a day for me to eat within a month!<br />
<br />
Hubby seems worried! But remember what you promised me? No matter what the outcome to be, you won't give me hard time dealing with your smelly face! You said you won't fight over this matter anymore! So I hope we can deal with this in harmony! On the other hand, I felt relieved and very happy! Like something I always wished for and it slowly showed up, real close! Stay with me, baby! Don't go away!Bear Bearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07428957105564931077noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29881506.post-835949471304621522017-04-02T22:47:00.003+08:002017-04-06T12:26:38.964+08:00Baby Diary Part 1<br />
After almost 2 years since my last post, I am back to writing my blog again! I don't know why I can't post pictures with my phone but I will figure it out later!<br />
<br />
I will update about my new journey with my son! It's a very exciting journey that I eagerly wake up to breathe in every moment that I share with my boy!<br />
<br />
As promised I will post about my pregnancy progress, my feelings and my experience that I previously noted in my phone!<br />
<br />

Friday 13 February 2015<br />
<br />
I am roughly 7 weeks onwards in my pregnancy but I don't feel a thing really, which is a good news! Valentine's is coming tomorrow, I was cheekily talking to my husband that this year he gave me the biggest present, hahha, actually I robbed this present out of him! But it seems like my husband loves me very much after all the turmoil I made! Despite him being not so excited about the pregnancy news and even showed me how upset and moody he was after knowing about this news, for a week! But he still did some research and study about how to prepare and cope with my pregnancy! He supplied me all types of nutritious food I need! He is no longer tensed up when thinking about a new member in our family! Please stay this way! Cross my fingers!<br />

<br />
Each day passed by and slowly I feel uncomfortable with my body functions! Mostly feeling sick whenever I eat something and have no craving for any food, veggie or even fruits! Everything didn't feel tasty to me anymore! Whenever I swallowed some food, I got awful feeling and no longer want to eat anything! I started to become impatient, how people can wait for 9 months to get a baby? Now I hope I will get my period soon! I hate waiting! I must try to exercise more! I don't feel good at all! Feeling weird and kind of sick!<br />
--------------<br />
<br />
- Monday 16 Feb 2015<br />
<br />
I started to have food aversion, I feel blandness in my tongue so I didn't enjoy my food at all these days! About 8pm, Laogong asked if I wanted to eat anything, he will go buy take away food for me! I thought of seafood horfun and Laogong straight away went out to buy for me! I still not really enjoy the food but I was touched by how caring Laogong was to me! We shared a huge portion and later laogong asked how was I feeling, then he suddenly hugged me and held my stomach, cheekily asked: "Anyone there? Don't make my wife uncomfortable hor! She made you one!" My husband is super cute! I love him very much!!<br />

<br />
Laogong brought me to the River Hongbao, to eat the chicken barbecue that I wanted since last year! It was very crowded and we had so much fun immersing ourselves in the New Year atmosphere! Oh, forgot to mention, yesterday on the New Year's Eve, I cooked abalone porridge and fried battered scampi for us as Laogong is always looking forward to these dishes!! Delicious as usual! My cooking skill is steady!<br />

👉🏻To be continued on my next post! I don't know why I can't post any longer when blogging from my phone! 😾Bear Bearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07428957105564931077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29881506.post-37709886524062081772015-07-02T13:04:00.000+08:002015-07-02T14:03:06.535+08:00A surprise updateI haven't announce my pregnancy news on my blog!<br />
So here I am, already at 27 weeks pregnant, starting my third trimester. So far so good, I have been feeling great with no annoying symptoms like nausea or feeling lethargic or even constipation and frequent trips to the restroom despite drinking a lot of water. By now, I am still walking fast like fleeting on air! I still dance and do yoga daily, as well as doing whatever I want with my cute belly that Lg gave it a nickname "poochie". I have no problem climbing a flight of stairs, it's a way to train my glute!<br />
<br />
I really watch what I eat though! I don't have unusual craving for unhealthy food, I limit my intake of salty and sweet food! I eat one avocado with a cup of milk to start my day, I occasionally snack on dried figs and dried apricots, and eat one cup of Greek yogurt topped with Chia seeds every afternoon. I also eat walnuts with a cup of milk at night before going to bed! I prefer to eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Besides eating healthy and balanced meals, I focus on getting enough nutrition for my growing baby, so far my baby is growing strong and healthy! I am gaining decent weight too!<br />
<br />
Here are beautiful pictures of my baby, for now I called my baby Lc, aka Little Critter!!<br />

Annexation by Jitish Kallat. "An imposing and somewhat menacing sculpture, Annexation's surface are festooned with motifs of flora and fauna...The shape of the sculpture references the humble kerosene stove, a source of energy and light for many residing in India's rural areas. Here, however, it is charred, its blackened form alluding to industrial waste and a spent resource, while its surface depict an allegory of a constant and daily struggle for existence, with birds and beasts from a prelapsarian Eden, annexed into a deadly coil of predator and prey."<br />

Since we have unlimited entries for a year, our first visit was to come for bird feeding, which started at 10:30am.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's easy to locate the feeding station, it's at the Waterfall Aviary! Before proceeding to bird feeding, we listened and watched the demonstration by the bird keeper to know how to feed the birds in the proper way!<br />
<br />

Then purchased our cup of worms to feed the birds!<br />

<br />
Commonly we would feed Superb Starling, Helmeted Guinea-fowl and Von der Decken's Hornbill, the rest of the birds prefer fruits over worms. <br />

<br />
I noticed the Helmeted Guinea-fowl's unique behavior while feeding them, they are very friendly, so as long as you are not hostile towards them, they will follow you to asked for more food, usually they will come to me as a pair, but only one of them will cautiously take the worms from my cup and then pass to the partner!!! That's so cute!!! <br />

<br />
One note for bird feeding, if you intend to feed the birds, don't pull your hands back or else they will remember that action and never come for your food again!<br />

We walked straight to the food street and explore all the food stalls. I love the crispy fried crabs!!! 5 pieces for $10!!! I bought a lot as I was afraid that I have to wait for another year to eat this! This year, the barbecued chicken tasted different from the taste I had last year! Well, I got delicious crabs, even better!<br />

The stadium seats area were open for everyone!!! It's more convenient to have a seat and enjoy the food! Most of the people cleaned up after eating and there were some staff walking around to help collect the rubbish too! It's very considerate on the part of the event organisers!<br />

The promotion that day was 1 for 1 ramen! We both ordered Miso Tonkoshu Ramen, I loved the ramen broth and I preferred the Japanese taste, the broth was very flavourful, yet not too salty. While my hubby loved the pork meat and the noodle texture!!! Oh, I love the spicy takana too!Bear Bearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07428957105564931077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29881506.post-60812706308162384112015-01-21T13:48:00.000+08:002015-02-12T22:00:23.369+08:00Signature Art Prize 2014 at Singapore Art MuseumAfter visiting the <a href="http://bearbeardiary.blogspot.sg/2015/01/still-moving-triple-bill-on-image.html">Still moving: A Triple Bill On The Image</a>, we rushed to the Singapore Art Museum for the Signature Art Prize 2014.<br />

The artwork "Trace" by Liu Jianhua was installed on the wall! <br />
<br />
"...In my exhibition in the UCCA Nave, there is a strong interaction between the work and the exhibition space: the two long white walls are like vast sheets of paper, with kiln-fired pieces of gleaming black porcelain appearing to drip down the walls like ink. These magnified “ink stains” are like traces of the human mind, imprints of the human soul. When we leave the bustle of the real world and enter this tranquil space, our conflicted psyches are soothed..."<br />

"A starting point, no matter how trivial, is necessary for a series of actions to have begun.

I was especially interested in the scroll series by Dinh Q.Le. "...appropriates iconic images of the Vietnam War as the titles reveal: Thich Quang Duc, the buring monk, Phan Thi Kim Phuc, the napalm girl and the victims of the killings at Mai Lai. Using digital photographic editing technologies, Le stretched the three images and printed them onto 50-metre long scrolls of photographic paper..."<br />

I was so intrigued and mesmerized by the Wall of Sea, a 3-channel video by Takashi Ishida! Ideas and inspirations kept flowing into my mind as I sat there and watched the video repeatedly. <br />
<br />
"The works of Takashi Ishida bring together the worlds of animation, painting and film-making, illuminating both the simplicity and the complexity of images in the context of filmic time and space...Like a film within a film, Ishida draws upon the duality of images when seen through its negative and positive spaces, with intercutting perspectives of the projected film and the space in which the film is projected."<br />

Receiving a post card with hand written wishes is my happiness, I felt loved and really touched!<br />

After spending some time on bird watching, we walked to the Coastal boardwalk! By the time we reached there, it was low tide, so we could spot some fishes and tiny crabs easily! I'm glad that there were many logs around, good to have a little rest!<br />

No one was there besides us that day, maybe because of the gloomy weather, so we enjoyed our moments watching the sea, the waves and shouted all we want! <br />
<br />

Learn more about the common mangrove tree species! "It is not easy to be a mangrove tree! Mangrove trees have to survive tidal flooding by salt water twice a day, in anaerobic soil that is poor in oxygen. They also have to deal with violent storms that hit the coasts."<br />

We walked all the way to the old Sungei Buloh entrance! There's usually no taxis at this area, so we had to take a shuttle bus to the Kranji MRT station! It costs $3 per person and the last bus departs at 6:50 pm.

We took a taxi to the Kranji Way Entrance, since we wanted to go straight to the new extension! On the way there, we passed by lots of farms and plantations! I tried to see if we can take bus there, but sad to say it's quite a remoted place, even though it's totally worth the visit!<br />

As we walked towards the Visitor Centre, we spotted a grand display of big ponds and a huge road!<br />

The Little Heron Deck located beside the Visitor Centre, serves as a lookout point over the sea and bird watching, but we didn't take that route, because I got attracted by the Junior Adventure Trail!<br />

We didn't miss out the Pulley Boat! I first thought the boat would roll by itself once we got onto it! But of course not, haha, pull the rope to get moving back and forth!<br />

The expected rain came and it's pouring cats and dogs! We rushed to the Mangrove Gallery to take shelter, while waiting for the rain to stop, we learned some facts about the mangroves of Singapore! <br />

When the rain almost stopped, we continued our trip by walking on the Costal Trail! Had a serenity
moment while looking out to the sea, for both of us! <br />

Found the first Pod! It's Fantail Pod! I was excited to see the bird nest structure, it's actually one of the bird watching spots!<br />
<br />

<br />
When we were walking half way up to the Fantail Pod, a very loud clap of thunder roared into our ears, followed by a lightning strike!!! We were quite afraid, so we rushed down and made sure there's no more thunder or lightning before walking up again. But the open roof top structure was still scary...<br />

<br />
We walked past the Mid-canopy Walk, where visitors can immerse themselves in a forest through an elevated, 120m - long boardwalk, to spot birds and insects! But we decided to follow the red line route, so we didn't walk that route. Always have a map to know where you are heading to.<br />

Walked through the illuminated arches back to the entrance! Pretty Christmas tree lighted up brightly! We had a good time!

In the skies are like fireflies<br />
Burning bright, just to vanish in the dark<br />
<br />
I've held hope in my two hands<br />
That there would be another chance<br />
To find the kingdom, I'm believing in my heart<br />
Cause underneath the good there's something greater than you know<br />
<br />
When you're almost there<br />
And you're almost home<br />
Just open up your eyes and go, go<br />
When you're almost there, almost home<br />
Know you're not alone<br />
You're almost home<br />
<br />
When you run, run so far<br />
You've forgotten who you are<br />
Where you're from, it's like some other universe<br />
You count your steps, like they're regrets<br />
You catch one breath then lose the rest<br />
Wrong is right, right is left<br />
And there's nowhere left to turn<br />
<br />
So don't believe in everything<br />
You think, you think you know...<br />

Me and my husband both agreed that we will only go on holidays when Xiao Bai is no longer with us.<br />
<br />
At times, I do crave to travel, but I couldn't stop worrying about his well being when far away from him! Xiao Bai is very attached to me or my presence, and his separation anxiety is really bad!<br />

Dogs are not just an animal like some people think! They are smart and emotional with their own personalities.<br />
<br />
He is like a kid to me, even though he cannot speak my language, but he learns to express in many ways! He is a very disciplined and well behaved dog that I've ever known! <br />
<br />
He knows when he did something wrong and will try not to look at me at the moment, but slowly he will approach me and slightly rub his head against my hand for forgiveness! He knows when I am happy, he will pound onto me, kiss me all over my face to share the joy with me! He knows when I am sad, no matter how silent I am, he would walk gingerly next to me, quietly shifting his body onto my lap, as if he is invisible! He loves to play, no matter how old he is, his activeness never goes away! <br />
<br />
He is a special one that I love dearly! When you know someone like him for more than a decade, he becomes a part of your life, it's hard to say goodbye! We will always be by your side, my dear Xiao Bai!Bear Bearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07428957105564931077noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29881506.post-67177819063847126632014-10-31T11:13:00.000+08:002014-11-01T23:38:07.885+08:00I'll never forgetThese are sweet things you do that I'll never forget.<br />

1.You appreciate little things I do and put me first in every decision.<br />
<br />
2. You hug me tight when we sleep, even in your deep sleep, you still unconciously hold me close! You kiss me before you go to work and when you get home!<br />
<br />
3. You open the door for me. <br />
<br />
