More happy moments...

After my last weddings entry which is closed to one yr ago...so what comes next? yea.. bb! First discovered bb existence on 10th July on a Saturday evening! Both dear dear and I were overjoyed...surprised that it came earlier than we expected too...though is as per planned.. one year after our marriage =)

I think I am quite fortunate that my first trimester has been quite smooth.. at least no vomiting.. heighten sense of smell, feeling nausea at times and getting tired more easily were basically the symptoms I felt.. occasional headache too..but think I am already very blessed compared to what I hear from other preggy mummies...

I still remembered when I told papa that bb is a boi boi, he was very happy...I could hear and sense his joy on the phone.. Dear Dear's parents were happy too.. they have got a granddaughter already and one more grandson on the way....

Now that I am in my 19th week of pregnancy, I'm looking forward to be able to feel bb's movement...so exciting!

I realised that I have also got more emotionally recently.. I can tear over little things.. and just as I thought I will be ok when dear dear goes to Mount Kinabalu today.. I teared yesterday night a little in bed and this morning..of cos not letting my dear dear know.. cos already he said he will be missing me when he goes..also more importantly I want dear dear to have fun and not worry about me.... It's only this morning that dear dear set off and here I am already missing him early this morning.. resort to hugging soa soa and zai zai in bed to find comfort..but now I'm feeling much better...

Dear Dear, thanks for being such a wonderful hubby..little gestures you show, eg. cutting my toe nails yesterday.. loving & comforting words you say to me.. and many many more... BB and me are so Xing4 Fu2~!

Weddings! =)

It has been a fabulous year with losta of wedding invites and baby showers from closed friends... and of course my own wedding too!

I totally enjoyed my big day! All thanks to my lovely family, relatives & friends! They made everything flow through so smoothly and I can just relax and enjoy! Every moment is so wonderful. Whenever someone asked me about my wedding, my reply was,"I was enjoying myself running around and saying hi to all my friends and relatives.. not tensed at all.. but totally relax and enjoying every single moment!" I thought that was really awesome! Good thing was that I had an early night before my wedding. Thus, I had sufficient rest and was in my tip top condition to enjoy the day! It was totally not as tiring as I thought it would be!

Moments that I recall about my wedding:

• The moment when dear dear opened the door and I saw him with the beauitful hand bouquet walking towards me...
• All the happy greetings from jiemeis & relatives!
• Adorable Johnaton dropping the oranges while opening the heavy car door...hehe...
• Smiley faces on Dear's grandparents faces and my granny's
• Little girl girl's happy moments with dear dear in the room
• First march in for soleminization..
• Funny & touching moments while reading our vows
• Running around happily greeting guest at the reception
• First & 2nd march in for the banquet
• Emotional thank you speech..
• Moment when I hug my pa pa
• Thanking all my guests~
• Of course, romantic & most touching moment of dear dear playing guitar and singing "Grow old with you..." in the room.. Aww.. so sweet and a lovely surprise indeed!

WOw..I can recall truely many happy moments of my weddings...

Attending all our close friends weddings were also very fun & fufilling! I really enjoyed all those happy moments of our friends' weddings too! Not just mny friends, but also dear dear's friends.. It feels good to be able to bond with them!

Also, not forgetting other happy adorable moments of all the newborns! Baby Joy (our niece), baby Kieran (my 1st good fren's baby) & baby Scarlet (dear dear's good fren's baby).. Awww... they are all so so so adorable and can easily bring smiles on everyone's faces.... =)

I'm sure there are many more happy moments to come!!! =)

Treasure our every moments with our loved ones and live every day happily!

Treasure our love ones... This is really important and should be a constant reminder for all of us! One of my uncle has passed over on Tuesday and another uncle is in ICU... A lot of emotional thoughts..... Seeing that my uncle smile as I was chatting with him in the hospital makes me feel that I was glad that I went to visit him. It really does pain my heart to see that he is suffering.. Life is so fragile....He was recovering just a couple of weeks ago.. having the energy to chat with us happily.. a few weeks later his condition turned for the worse.. he could hardly talk properly... he was telling me to take good care of my dad... I should really treasure every moment with my dad....

Watching a reality program this afternoon also made me realised that be happy as a family can be such a simple yet different affair for some families. Poor family going through hardship, poverty, sickness and pain can still loved the family so much and be happy just simply being able to stick by each other.... Happiness is about having the whole family sitting down together to have dinner together....that was what the sick lady with 4 kids who is suffering said. She is sick and in pain but yet she is happy.. that really set me to think... we should really not take life for granted and treasure all that we have....

All these that have happened made reminded me again that I am such a fortunate gal.. Thank you pa pa.. for always being there for me.... Thank you dear dear... for loving me the way you do... I'm sorry if I throw tantrums at you all sometimes.... Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love you all!

Thank you for all that I have.. all my lovely relatives, friends and colleagues.. Thank you for all the wonderful friends who agreed to be my jiemei without any 2nd thoughts.. I'm so lucky to have all of you....

Happy 3rd day of CNY

It was a fruitful day! Very eventful and happy!

I brought my dad out for a movie.. A movie for him after many many years! We went Cineleisure to watch Ong Bak 2. We had lunch at Shokudo Japanese pasta and pizza prior to the movie. I brought dad to do some shopping too! We had coffee and cakes after shopping at TCC too! I'm so happy that my dad enjoyed himself... I enjoyed myself too!

Today was also the first time that dear dear's parents meet my dad. We had a sumptuous dinner together at Little Bali. Both my pa pa and dear's dad hit it off! I'm so happy!

I'm a fortunate gal!

Thoughts and my way of encouraging myself...

Is research really my cup of tea? I wonder.. I seem to be doubting that.. It sometimes feel like a "con job". Do I really believe in whatever I have written? Is research really meaningful? Why am I having doubts and such thoughts on my mind? Am I just feeling tired? Oris this one project affecting me so much? I really dunno.. Maybe all I want is to just take a break.. away from everything..Do something that keep me happy. Life is short. Everyday should be a happy day. Maybe today is just a bad day.

Well in any case, I know tomorrow is going to be a better day for me. Yes, I have put in so much effort, I'm sure the client see it in my report too! Cindy Jia you! Do your very best to fufil your responsibility so long you are still in it!

幸福

幸福...Yes, I'm indeed a 幸福 girl to have dear dear... It feels great to hear from people how my dear dear feel about me. It's added assurance? Hmm... Can't really explain it but it still feel good to hear that. "You have already won Phong's heart"...

Emotions....

It's interesting to get in touch with my own emotions.... Why do all of us have emotions? I guess emotions make our lives more interesting...

I seem to be missing my dear dear more this time round compared to his last trip... I wanted so much to send dear dear off even though I know I will only get to see him for a short while... I followed my emotions and left office early to send dear dear off.. It was certainly a right choice made! I felt good and am glad that I made that choice! Somehow I'm already starting to miss my dear dear... Hmm.. it's a much shorter trip.. 3 weeks will pass soon and I will see dear dear very soon! Shall just concentrate on my work and other stuff while dear dear is away so that we can spend more quality time together when he comes back and also we can concentrate on our renovations...

Two weeks back, on Ruth's birthday.. I was also in touch with my emotions... hehe... in fact this was what my dear dear told me when I mentioned to him how I felt.. yea.. "in touch with my emotions!" We were celebrating Ruth's birthday for her.. everyone was a few words to her.. I was very touched..maybe was the whole atmosphere.. I teared even though it was her birthday! I can't really explain it but was very touched with everyone's words... Ruth is indeed a really great friend and colleague to have! She is one of the closest colleague here.... Maybe it pains my heart also whenever I see her rushing for her deadlines.. Always feel that she should take care of herself more.. "Ate Ruth, remember to take good care of yourself k..... health is more important!" I also gave her a box of "happiness".. Got her little gifts and made her a photo frame.. I put it all in a box and called it box of happiness.. Am happy that she likes it too!

Great friends are hard to come by.. I must say I am really lucky to have many great friends and colleagues around.. Thank you everyone who have made a difference in my life! I'm so blessed to have you along with me to walk through this journey of life! Of course, not forgetting my dear "papa" and "dear dear"! I'm a fortunate gal! So 幸福!
