世上只有妈妈好！

guess what, babes?!

i’m loving my house once again!!

my poor living room used to be cluttered with useless things like dry cabinet for the DSLR, box of unopened yarn, and soon-to-be-useful things like infant car-seats, single and twin strollers, gigantic boxes of infant clothing and toys, and general merchandise new parents tend to buy for their babies.

BUT NOT ANYMORE!!

that’s because the self-sacrificing ah zhu jie took the mrt to tiong bahru (maybe paiseh to ask fat son-in-law for a ride? i have no idea!) today and started to make my house less of a pigsty

i really love how she ruthlessly threw out the junk in my storeroom (half-used tins of paint left behind by the renovators, many many boxes which tb wouldn’t let me throw away, and general useless-things-that-could-be-useful-someday)!! the result? plenty of room in the storeroom to store the clutter in my living room!

lalala… life is beautiful.. if only i still have my favourite Ben & Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake in the freezer.. sigh..

because nobody deserves to be unhappily married!

we’ve all heard similar stories.

wife finds out that husband has been having an affair. husband cries and begs for forgiveness. wife tells him she will give him one last chance. but the crying and begging works. every time. and so the wife is trapped in an endless cycle of unhappiness.

or how about this.

a couple married for 7 years with a young child. husband is bored and wants something more. he decides to “venture out”. unfortunately got found out. wife decides to forgive him and not go through a divorce because baby needs a complete family blah blah blah..

or how about the husband who has never loved his wife, but married her anyway because after five/seven/ten years of courtship, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO GET MARRIED. you know, she’s a really nice girl and you do not want to break her heart or be labelled as a jerk. after all, who says it’s easy for a 30-year-old woman to pick herself up after a failed 10-year-relationship? dumping her would be as evil as killing kittens and eating them for lunch etc

people hang on to unhappy relationships/marriages for various reasons. the most common reason –> convenience.

in fact, a guy once told me that he would rather hang on to a girlfriend whom he does not love than to be single. when he meets someone better, he can conveniently break off with the current girlfriend and start a new relationship. girls are guilty of the same mindset too.

你说爱我只是习惯，再也不是喜欢..

no breakup is easy and every reason for initiating a break sounds equally lame to me. but i still insist that everyone of us deserves to be in a loving and happy relationship. if you feel that you deserve more, you probably do (and pls go and do something about it instead of whining about the same thing to your best friend).

sometimes i do feel evil for thinking “aiyah, so unhappy, better divorce lah!” because marriage is forever, isn’t it?

but lately i’ve been thinking.. it’s better to be happily single than unhappily married, ne?

so, all unhappily married friends, please work your ass off on your marriage because maintaining a relationship requires effort. if nothing can salvage the situation, give each other the freedom to find your own happiness bah

P/S: i am not anti-marriage or pro-divorce. i just don’t like to see people in unhappy marriages!

special privileges for the fat lady

tb arrived home late (again) last friday, carrying something which has been missing in our home for so long… FRESH FLOWERS!!

nothing like a nice bouquet of flowers to cheer up a sulking and depressed wife :’)

anyway, we went to my new favourite restaurant (Waraku in iLuma, fyi.) for lunch today and the waiter serving us happened to be a super waiter.

before we were seated, he pulled out two tables so that fat lady could move herself easily into the seat. just when my fat ass touched the seat, he gently shifted the tables back so that fat lady could reach the table without hyper-extending her spine. then he told fat X, “when my wife was pregnant, i was extremely careful also”. at that moment, i suddenly experienced the beauty and privileges of being pregnant :’D

before leaving us to ponder over the colourful menu, super waiter asked us if we would like to have some warm water before ordering. we nodded our heads gratefully.

we then ordered our meals and waited happily for the food to arrive. i had my favourite scallop & mushroom soup pasta and fat X had the usual boring carbonara. in the middle of the meal, super waiter approached me and asked if i would like them to top up the soup for me and seriously, i was too shocked to reply him. WHERE TO FIND SUCH A NICE WAITER?! YOU TELL ME!!!

normally, you only ask bak kut teh sellers or prawn mee sellers for extra soup, where got restaurant offer to top up the soup for your soup pasta??!!

anyway, we concluded that super waiter probably thought fat X was being a big bully because he couldn’t stop stealing soup from my pasta! haha..

anyways, i declined the offer because i had to finish a tall glass of mango shake after the pasta and my tummy was already full of other stuff as well.

the highlight of the meal came during dessert time!!

typically, when a couple orders one portion of dessert, the waiter will serve it with two forks. but super waiter served the dessert with only one fork and he told fat X, usually we cut this dessert into two portions and serve it with two forks. but today half of it is for the mummy and half of it is for the baby, so i’m just giving you one fork.

when we left, super waiter wished me a safe delivery! awww… so sweet X3

to end off this post, i shall attempt to shock you with baba and bubu’s estimated weights –> 1.5kg and 1.9kg. this means i am carrying a friggin 3.4kg worth of babies, plus other funky stuff like water bags, placentas, fat cells etc!! no wonder my walking speed is slower than a turtle and only slightly faster than a snail!

fat X was very excited about the 1.9kg baby because “i’m going to have a 5kg newborn!”

to which i coolly replied “and a dead wife“

baby pants!!

chun chun bought me 4m of cutesy fabrics to make things for the babies and told me “i dunno if 2m each is enough to make clothing for them”.. X’D

i told her that baby clothes are so tiny that 1m should be more than enough for two babies!!

these pyjamas pants are so easy to make!! i wish i could have some pink-and-white fabric and make some awesome skirts too! you know, just to make sure the boys stand out from the sea of other baby boys *smug*

i have so much fabric left over.. what else should i make?

new gifts for the boys and their first scan!

number one and da sao sent back two cutesy rompers for the boys!! i think they will be wearing this for their first month celebration so that i can post pictures on facebook and tell everyone that their 大舅 and 大舅母 bought the rompers for them :’)

this is the first scan of baba and bubu, taken on 19 Jan 2009. now that i look at this scan, i can see mr bubu quite clearly in the sac on the right side.

deciphering such scans is really an acquired skill, i remember feeling frustrated because i couldn’t see anything beyond black and white grains when the doctor was pointing at a random spot on the screen and saying “here’s the heartbeat”.

i was secretly thinking “wtf everything looks the same to me leh :’D“

new P&J tote bag

this is the print which i dislike so much… i can’t believe i chose this tote bag over the newer, nicer handbag

i like that the interior is quite well-made there are two pockets and one zippered pouch :’D

anyway i chose this bag because its quality is much better than the latest gwp.. so you gotta decide if you like your freebies to be pretty and flimsy or fugly but well-made :’D tough choice, ne!

what is this suxxy feeling?

i am so sick of everything right now i wish i could run away from it all..

then i looked down and realized that the boys have grown so big that i can’t see my feet anymore, am i still capable of running?

the last time i ran was probably 5~6 weeks ago. in case you’re interested, i was running after an infamous type of red-and-white vehicle, known for appearing in twos and threes when you don’t need them. i HAD to run because i was ten metres from the bus stop when the red-and-white vehicle rolled past me and i don’t fancy wasting 20 good minutes of my life waiting for the next red-and-white vehicle to come along. some say the next bus will be more comfortable, newer, faster etc.. but but but.. what if the stewpig thing never arrives? the sooner you board some bus, the faster you get to your destination, isn’t it?

reading about the increased incidence of depression in twin pregnancies does not help. it totally freaks me out. i hate being depressed. i don’t want to entertain thoughts of throwing myself out of the window, or running against oncoming traffic. and i certainly do not want to do stupid and painful things like scratching my limbs with sharp objects.

let’s just hope that this phase will quickly pass.. maybe i just need to win the lottery so that i don’t have to go to work. ever.

that would be sweet :’)

till then, i just gotta deal with it.

chun chun’s weekend bag and pillowcases for the boys

from this angle, it looks like a giant tote bag :’D

it’s actually just big enough to carry all the weekend essentials — wallet, phone, house keys, tissue paper, ezlink card car keys (because someone just bought a fiery red Honda Jazz so no need to take another irritating form of transport in red and white!)

one more photo before i pack it and prepare to give it away :’)

it must be the pregnancy hormones. i actually think these pillows look cute with those retarded hippos X’D

how i wish the fabrics also come in pink.. with butterflies and daisies instead of hippos.. haha..

on an unhappier note, life has become a pain (literally) for me lately. my body aches when i’m lying down, i CANNOT lie comfortably on my back or my left or my right. it is so fucking irritating. my body aches from the ribs to the mid-back when i sit down. my lower back, hip joints and legs ache when i stand or walk. and i just discovered that if i sit on the toilet bowl for more than a minute BOTH MY LEGS GO NUMB! what the fuck?? now i can’t even shit without cursing :’D

the Internet says that the second trimester is a “honeymoon period” where the pregnant one literally “glows”. she is supposed to feel more energetic, have a good appetite, and generally look relatively attractive (relative to a gray dishcloth, i suppose?). if the Internet says so, it must be true! problem is, the Internet did not mention about regular beings who are pregnant and ugly. i resemble Humpty Dumpty, only with more swollen legs and feet :’D and i am about as agile as the eighty-year-old ah ma sitting on the bench downstairs every morning.

life is beautiful.

pregnancy is not for sissypants. i get it now *points middle finger at god*. i wonder what other new discoveries i’ll make in the next 12 weeks (assuming i only carry these hyperactive mini-men for 36 weeks). maybe sometime in the last trimester the mother-to-be will grow a penis. but no one has noticed it before because the pregnant one is too fat and clumsy to bend over and check her pubes while her husband does not want to freak her out with the new discovery.

it is at times like this that i am glad the mini-men do not have to go through what i am going through now. of course, if they decide to become a woman and have an artificial womb and somehow get themselves pregnant, then it is not my problem lah.. it sounds funny here but i may just die on the spot if they come back from school one day wearing lacy bras and handing me a consent form to seek my agreement on the womb implant *shudders*

it looks like rain. i better go rest now instead of polluting the Internet with my nonsense.

kiddy fabrics

remember just last year, i made fun of the retarded hippos and kiddish fabrics at IKEA?

well, i guess i am paying the price for making fun of people’s fabrics because i bought these last weekend! the irony is that i actually find the prints cute and i wanna make random things for the boys!

but, but, but… other than pillow cases i can’t think of what i can make for them.. maybe some sissy purses or girly handbags! LOL!
